# ReEcho: an echo360 lecture downloader
### Features:
- Lesson selector for a given course
- Fast and high quality download
- Audio and video muxing
- Creates a `.mp4` file of your lecture
### Setting up the environment
This program requires command line `ffmpeg` and `python3.7+`. Tested on OSX and Linux. I have **strong doubts** it would work on Windows in its current form.
For installing `ffmpeg`, see [this link](https://ffmpeg.org/download.html). On OSX, you can use brew if you have it:
```
brew install ffmpeg
```
To set up the python environment, I recommend using a virtual environment:
```
python3 -m venv venv
source venv/bin/activate
pip install -r requirements.txt
```
## Usage
To use the program, you need to provide a 'curlfile', i.e. a file containing the relevant curl command to access the home page of your lecture course.
The easiest way to obtain this is to login and visit the `home` of echo360 for your course. Open the Network tab of the developer tools, and refresh the page. The top entry should read something like
```
Status Method Domain File Cause
----------------------------------------------------------------------
200 GET echo360.org.uk home document ...
...
```
Right click on this, and under `Copy` select `Copy as cURL`. Paste this into a file, name it whatever you like, and then execute the downloader using
```
python . ./[path_to_curl_file]
```
The downloader script will use the cookie headers to automatically login as your user account, and display your courses.
## Notes
This has only been tested on the **one** course I have access to, which as of date of writing only has **one** lesson upload. I've tried my best to anticipate the generalization of the code, but there be errors since I had a very limited range of tests available. Please contact me with logs so I can patch them.
Thanks and enjoy :)
