Python script to download lecture videos

[Dodo]

I have written a small python script which can download lecture videos
from www.ai-class.org

Link: https://gist.github.com/1282440

usage:

download the file 'ai-class.py'
Go to the directory where you have downloaded the file

Go to command prompt/terminal and type

python ai-class.py "topic-name"

topic-names can be "Welcome to AI", "Problem Solving"

PS: Python2.6.2 should be installed in your system.

This should work for the subsequent lectures too. Will let you know if
there are any changes.

Let me know if you have any problems.
Cheers

thx dodo, works a treat :), I've added the usage instructions as a comment in the gist and tweeted the gist including the #aiclass hashtag.

Cheers,

Chico

@StanfordAIClass it's gonna be nice on the trans Atlantic flight I'm about to get on. Love it!

Thanks a lot Dodo, am using your script, and it is now at topic 2...

Nice work, very useful and appreciated.

But when I run
python ai-class.py "Homework 1"
it doesn't work... It world like a charm, indeed, with unit 1 and 2.

Same behavior around or it's just me?

.enjoy.

Yeah, it doesn't work on homework because inorder to get the links
you'll have to login with username and password from the python
script.
People will not be willing to give their login credentials to some
script. So, didn't code for that. Will try to figure something out.

You can just tell us where to edit.

[Paresh Mathur]

can't we automate it so that it will download all the videos of a unit?

[malebo kola]

how can i add proxy authentication to the ai-class.py?

[Bitomule]

Thanks!! Works really fine. The only problem is that files are flv.

[Dodo]

I have modified the code slightly. Download the updated version from
the same link. Works fine on linux machines but, there is some weird
bug when executed on windows. Trying to sort it out.
Message me if you run into any problems.
Thank you.
Cheers
