WebexDown

Saves Webex recordings uploaded by Politecnico di Milano.

This project is a port of https://github.com/sup3rgiu/PoliDown from MS Stream to Webex

PREREQS

• Node.js: anything above v8.0 seems to work.
• aria2: this needs to be in your $PATH (for example, copy aria2c.exe to c:\windows). WebexDown calls aria2c with a bunch of arguments in order to improve the download speed.
• ffmpeg: a recent version (year 2019 or above), in $PATH. On Windows, the nightly build is recommended.

USAGE

• Clone this repo
• cd into the cloned folder
• npm install to install dependencies

    -v "https://politecnicomilano.webex.com/recordingservice/sites/politecnicomilano/recording/playback/VIDEO-1"
                "https://politecnicomilano.webex.com/recordingservice/sites/politecnicomilano/recording/playback/VIDEO-2"
                "https://politecnicomilano.webex.com/recordingservice/sites/politecnicomilano/recording/playback/VIDEO-3"

Output directory (relative or absoulte path):

$ node webexdown.js -u CODICEPERSONA -e EMAIL -v "https://politecnicomilano.webex.com/recordingservice/sites/politecnicomilano/recording/playback/VIDEO-1" -o "/my/path/here"

Do not use system keyring to save the password:

$ node webexdown.js -u CODICEPERSONA -e EMAIL -v "https://politecnicomilano.webex.com/recordingservice/sites/politecnicomilano/recording/playback/VIDEO-1" -k

You can omit the password argument. WebexDown will ask for it interactively and then save it securely in system's keychain for the next use.
