Gecko Download Manager (geckoDM) for Echo360

https://geckodm.github.io

This project started because 4 Monash kids were sick of downloading lectures individually and wanted to code instead of study during SWOTVAC 😆 we all failed 😧

Introduction

This Chrome Extension allows students to download all their lectures (that they probably won't watch anyway) from Echo360 online services with the click of a single button.

TODO

• Figure out how to download stuff
• Handle download limits i.e. Can only download 6 files at a time. I think Chrome handles this.
• GUI
• Specify download path (filesystem can only be used on Chrome apps, can have option to insert path via GUI?)
• Name files downloaded
• Support incognito?
• Differentiate between recordings on the same day?
• Migrate to MDL (Material Design Lite)
• Fix download blocking (multiple downloads, slow internet)

Known Issues

• Downloading many files in a short time span sometimes leads to Echo360 or Amazon S3 blocking downloads (sometimes it greys out lectures).
