Fetch All Links in a Video Series

The LearnVideoFetcher script extends the functionality of the main project by dynamically generating URLs for a series of videos based on a specified base URL and number of modules.

Usage:

To fetch all links in a video series, follow these steps: Run the Script:

python fetch_all_links.py [base_url] [num_modules]

Replace [base_url] with any URL from the series and [num_modules] with the total number of modules in the series.

Example:

Suppose you have a series with a URL like "https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/shows/on-demand-instructor-led-training-series/ai-900-module-3" and there are 7 modules in the series. You can generate URLs dynamically by passing the URL as it is:

python fetch_all_links.py https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/shows/on-demand-instructor-led-training-series/ai-900-module-3 7

This script will automatically generate URLs for modules 1 through 7 and download their associated content.

Fetch Links from File

In addition to the existing functionality, the script allows you to fetch and download content from a text file containing a list of links.

How to Use:

1. Save your list of links in a file (for example, links.txt).
2. Run the script, specifying the file path that contains the links:

python fetch_from_file.py links.txt --languages en-us ru-ru

In this command, --languages is an optional argument to specify the preferred languages for subtitles. This script should correctly process each link from your file and perform the necessary operations with each of them, including downloading videos and subtitles.
