Echo360+

Various improvements to the Echo360 video streamer/downloader

Chrome Web Store Listing

The current features are listed below.

  1. Better file names when you download videos
    Instead of downloading lectures as hd1.mp4, lectures are downloaded with informative file names. This is especially useful when you are downloading multiple lectures from different units at once. e.g. "hd1.mp4" -> "DATA1001-2019-09-29.mp4"

  2. More video playback speed options
    Previously the lectures were limited to playback speeds of between 0.5x and 2x. This extension adds 4 faster playback options (2.25x, 2.50x, 2.75x, 3.00x) for those especially slow lecturers.

  3. Add day to lecture date strings
    By default, Echo360 displays the date (e.g. 4th Aug), but not the day (e.g. Wednesday) on the list of lectures for a particular unit. As most people usually associated lectures times with days rather than dates, I often find myself opening a calendar app to check the date a particular lecture was run, when simply displaying the day would be enough information to deduce this myself. Thus, this extension also adds a small 3 letter day string next to each lecture.

  4. Re-position the view lecture popup
    For some reason, the view lecture popup is always partially hidden behind the right hand side of the page. Echo360+ moves this popup back into the page where it should already be.

  5. Allow hiding of future lectures
    By default, Echo360 will display all lectures (including those not released yet), and does not provide a feature to hide them. This extension add a checkbox to do exactly that which is enabled by default.

More features coming soon!

Note: This extension was made specifically for the USyd lecture system, and as a result some features may not work with your own university.
