We now use yt-dlp instead of youtube-dl!

New Dependency

• We switched from youtube-dl to yt-dlp. The main reason for me was that youtube-dl has not fixed their core unit for a few days and therefore downloads from youtube were impossible for some people. We also benefit from the many performance improvements that yt-dlp brings, and the many new/improved extrectors that were not yet accepted on youtube-dl (by @AlexBocken)

New supported moodle mod:

• akarifolder is now suported (by @dan-hanlon)

Changes

• Intros in the separate modules are now no longer loaded from the Course Overview page, this has the consequence that they are forced to be re-downloaded, however, this is for a long-term seen more stable download behavior. (Use the options to prevent re-downloading.)
• A better description for the --manage-database option has been added.

Bug Fixes

• Our selection tool cutie now works well with only one entry.
• The --manage-database option no longer crashes when no file is missing.(by @daniarla )
• Files downloaded by yt-dlp are now stored in the database in such a way that --manage-database finds them again and does not mark them as missing.

It is possible to download all visible courses.

New Features

• With the new option moodle-dl --add-all-visible-courses all courses of your moodle that are visible to you can be added to your configuration.

New Feature

• Now you can specify which program will download an external link.

v2.2.0.0

Warning: If you are upgrading from an older version: Run Moodle-dl with--without-downloading-files to avoid re-downloading description files

New Features

• More arbitrarily changing stuff is filtered from descriptions to prevent re-downloading (by @leo872016)
• The call to core_webservice_get_site_info can now be skipped, instead the userid and Moodle version can be specified manually.
• When you log out of a course online, but it continues to be downloaded from moodle-dl, you now only get a warning instead of all files being marked as deleted
• It now uses aioxmpp instead of slixmpp, so XMPP messages are sent instantaneously instead of very slowly.
• Icons in Telegram and XMPP notifications are used.
• It is now possible to use Moodles with http (without encryption). A warning is issued if you try to do this.
• It is now possible to download content from the Helixmedia extension.

Changes

Data Urls are now stored correctly

New Feature

XMPP Notifications

New Feature

• moodle-dl finally supports sending notifications via XMPP. The messages are currently not yet encrypted with OMEMO.

New dependencies

• To establish this functionality slixmpp is used.
