DotNet conference was held in June 2014, I was downloading the videos and slides, downloading one by one takes too much time so I decided to share write powershell script which will download all available videos in DotNet Conference and will also download slides. I have uploaded script file in Technet Gallery and you can download it from this link.
The attached script has the following key features
- Downloads all the DotNet 2013 Conference Sessions and Slides
- Makes sure no errors come up due to Illegal File names.
- If you stop the script and restart in the middle, it will start where it left off and not from beginning.
In this script i have added High MP4 videos to download which are larger in size and to download small size videos, you just need to change the variable values in the attached file.
# SharePoint Conference 2014 Videos
$a = ([xml]$rss.downloadstring("http://channel9.msdn.com/Events/dotnetConf/2014/RSS/mp4high"))
$b = ([xml]$rss.downloadstring("http://channel9.msdn.com/Events/dotnetConf/2014/RSS/slides"))
#other qualities for the videos only. Choose the one you want!
# $a = ([xml]$rss.downloadstring("http://channel9.msdn.com/Events/dotnetConf/2014/RSS/mp4"))
#$a = ([xml]$rss.downloadstring("http://channel9.msdn.com/Events/dotnetConf/2014/RSS/mp3"))
Just add # sign before variable $a, as shown in above code (it will add it as comment) and then remove the # sign from any of the commented code. Just shown below.
# SharePoint Conference 2014 Videos
# $a = ([xml]$rss.downloadstring("http://channel9.msdn.com/Events/dotnetConf/2014/RSS/mp4high"))
$b = ([xml]$rss.downloadstring("http://channel9.msdn.com/Events/dotnetConf/2014/RSS/slides"))
#other qualities for the videos only. Choose the one you want!
$a = ([xml]$rss.downloadstring("http://channel9.msdn.com/Events/dotnetConf/2014/RSS/mp4"))
#$a = ([xml]$rss.downloadstring("http://channel9.msdn.com/Events/dotnetConf/2014/RSS/mp3"))
Now run the script, and you will be able to download all videos & slides for DotNet 2014 Conference. You can download script from from Technet Gallery.
