echo360.org Download Error

[Steve-Lee829]

I was trying to download video lectures from Echo360 Cloud and used ./run.sh https://echo360.org.uk/section/myCoursePage/home as suggested but still got an error after deleting the _echo360venv;

I am actually quite new to python and command line, so probably got it wrong somewhere I am not aware of... Are there any possible ways to sort this out? I would really appreciate it :)

If it'd be easier for you, do you want to try the packaged executable at the release page (i.e. https://github.com/soraxas/echo360/releases/latest/download/echo360-linux) to see if it works for you?

Make it executable with:

chmod +x echo360-linux

Appology, you'd probably want the window executable with https://github.com/soraxas/echo360/releases/latest/download/echo360-windows.exe

Dear soraxas,

I've tried this and it is executable! But there are some further issues :( I think it might be because of the format of the videos? It turns out after the downloading it only downloaded the last few videos in a strange format M4s.

$ /c/Users/BernardoLee/Desktop/echo360-windows.exe https://echo360.org.uk/section/1747de6b-1c40-4870-996c-80b949e71b28/home

You need ffmpeg for file conversion (stated in the README file), see https://github.com/adaptlearning/adapt_authoring/wiki/Installing-FFmpeg for some installation guidelines.
