TUM Mediasite Downloader

This program is only distributed in source form and you'll need a Rust compiler to run it. See rustup.rs for installation instructions.

The tool accepts two arguments:

1. a catalog name (or an alias; see below)
2. a target directory

Most catalogs (→ lectures) require a TUMonline authentification. Those can either be supplied as environment variables or in a .env file (see .example.env; under Windows you have to rename the file to .env. and the last dot will be automatically removed by Windows Explorer).

Example

TUM_USERNAME=ab34efg TUM_PASSWORD=hunter2 cargo run -- DS ds

(Note: cargo is the the standard build tool for Rust programs. -- passes all the following arguments to the executed program instead of interpreting them as arguments to cargo.)

Aliased catalog names

WS16/17

• DS
• EIDI (the correct login is automatically choosen when using this alias)
• ERA

SS17

• GAD
• LA

How to determine a catalog name

Open the Mediasite listing page, right-click and "View page source" (or "View frame source" if the listing is embedded in moodle). You should spot something like

<form name="MainForm" method="post" action="/Mediasite/Catalog/catalogs/17s-lineare-algebra-fuer-informatik" id="MainForm">

in the first couple of lines. Here the catalog name would be 17s-lineare-algebra-fuer-informatik.
