About The Project

In the period of online learning, we rely heavily on lecture recordings. The current LRS doesn't remember our viewing history, and of course, we can't resume from where we left off. Our course load is already heavy, we need an easy way to manage our recordings.

This tool remembers you viewing history with a progress bar under each video. And you can resume from where you left.

Never fear for refreshing the page by accident again.

Note

The update happens every second, so it's not 100% accurate. These may be improved in the future.

Feature Suggestion: Save CC settings

Problem

LRS does not save user's closed caption settings (such as transparency and font size). Any CC settings is temporary and will be reset upon page refresh.

Proposed Solution

Would be a good feature to patch that. Specifically, the user's caption setting should be permanent and global. For example, when a user change font size in one video, the font size should persist for other videos as well.
