umich-lecture-downloader

Chrome extension made to easily download CAEN lectures

How it works

• Every video on the CAEN lecture viewer is hosted as a public resource on AWS S3, and the .mp4 link is embedded in the DOM
• This extension searches the DOM for the S3 URL, and calls the Chrome Downloads API to download the resource via the browser (see popup.js)
• Most of the code was repurposed from the example in the Chrome Extension documentation
