Description of your issue, suggested solution and other information

Ability to download catalog of videos from mediasite, see link above for example of one such catalog.
Downloading the videos individually by copy pasting the individual links for each video works no problem, but my university has lectures organized in catalogs and being able to use to catalog link to batch download would be much faster.

I'm in no way good enough at coding to do this but I'm gouessing this is what has to be done to make it work:

1. Make https://mediasite. /Mediasite/Catalog/ a valid url

2. Make a list of all video links in the catalog, example of where the link is located from inspect element:

<a id="cardTitle" href="https://mediasite.video.ufl.edu/Mediasite/Play/215b650c9ed74fa2b5f439ac900e32301d?catalog=58a2c26a048c42de8950c7f68c1e754021" target="_new" class="titleLink " title="View Presentation">2019 Spring Commencement - College of Veterinary Medicine</a>

3. Download each video using the regular downloader
