Hi @otakenz, this is what I call "external multimedia". Could you try passing in --external-multimedia and see if the files are downloaded?

[otakenz]

yes, i did passed in --external-multimedia (forgot to mention), in fact i also tried passing in all available --download-to tags

Observation on the CS3237(which uses external multimedia):
With --external-multimedia;

• A directory called "Multimedia" is successfully created within /tmp/fluminus/CS3237
• A directory called "CS3237 Lecture" is successfully created within /tmp/fluminus/CS3237/Multimedia
• However, no downloaded media was found inside /tmp/fluminus/CS3237/Multimedia/CS3237 Lectures

Without --external-multimedia;

• No directory called "Multimedia" is created within /tmp/fluminus/CS3237

---

Expected outcome:
With --external-multimedia;

• A directory called "Multimedia" is successfully created within /tmp/fluminus/CS3237
• A directory called "CS3237 Lecture" is successfully created within /tmp/fluminus/CS3237/Multimedia
• Two more folders called "Lecture 1 - IoT landscape" and "Lecture 2 - Statistical Model" is successfully created within /tmp/fluminus/CS3237/Multimedia/CS3237 Lectures with videos created within them respectively.

Without --external-multimedia;

• No directory called "Multimedia" is created within /tmp/fluminus/CS3237

Hmm, try passing in --verbose --show-errors and post here if there are any error messages (in red usually)

As requested, here it is:

Interesting, I think this is because my code assumed that panopto will not have hierarchical structure of folders. Unfortunately I don't have any mods with this structure so as to reverse engineer.

You're welcome to submit a PR though if you could reverse engineer and hook into the code!
