Panopto Downloader

This repo includes down_load.py which can be used to download the panopto videos for a class, using the rss feed url.

Usage

(See below for how to obtain the url)

At a high overview, get the rss url from panopto and set the url at the top of down_load.py.

rss_url = "https://<school>.hosted.panopto.com/Panopto/Podcast/Podcast.ashx?courseid=<course_id>&type=mp4"

# used to write to xml file, so this
# should be a file_name friendly string
class_name = "cmsc___"

Once the correct url is set (also the class_name), run:

$ python down_load.py

Installation

I recommend using virtualenv

$ virtualenv venv

# on windows
> venv\Scripts\activate

# on mac
$ source venv/bin/activate

$ pip install -r requirements.txt
