download and convert SCPD lectures easily

SCPD Scraper

This program downloads scpd videos for a given class in the order that they happened as an mp4. Each time the script is run, it will update to download all of the undownloaded videos.

This script is modified from the one by Ben Newhouse https://github.com/newhouseb.

To get it up and running...

pip install -r requirements.txt
npm install

Usage: python scrape.py [yourUserName] [optional flags] cs107 cs109 ...

The way I use it is to keep a folder of videos, and once I have watched them, move them into a subfolder called watched. So it also won't redownload files that are in a subfolder called watched.
