Some feature requests!!

[ridwan47]

Important

1. Allow Pause/Resume Support
2. Allow Resume of unfinished/interrupted downloads. Right now it downloads the entire course from the beginning.
3. Don't use [] Brackets in numbers. Video players doesn't play videos chronologically. Just name it normally like: 01 Introduction.mp4 instead of [1] Introduction.mp4

Wishful request

4. Allow only subtitle download (without video)
5. Automatically download thumbnail of the course. Not very important, would be very nice.

I really like these features but I am quite busy currently. I will try to add some of these features when I have the time

Hi!

Thanks a lot @ahmedayman4a for your software and @ridwan47 for your suggestions.

I totally agree with No.3 and about it I will add that it will be great to detect the default name and use it.

For example if the folder is named by default "2. Name of the chapter", to be able to rename it automatically into "02 - Name of the chapter".

And for the videos inside this folder rename them : "02-01 - Name of the first video of the second folder", "02-02 - Lorem ipsum" and so on. And why not rename "Introduction" folder to "00 - Introduction".

I don't know if it's very clear but that's how I name my files and for the moment I rename them manually, remove the brackets, etc.

You can use a great software called ReNamer by den4b to do this automatically when you have a lot of files to rename. It saves a lot of time!

@ridwan47 Thanks a lot for the tip I will have a look at it.

Looks like feature number 3 is urgent so I will add it soon. I have a question though, which folder structure is better:

├───01 - Chapter 1
│   ├───01 - Video 1
│   └───02 - Video 2
└───02 - Chapter 2
    ├───01 - Video 1
    └───02 - Video 2

Or this

├───01 - Chapter 1
│   ├───01 - 01 - Video 1
│   └───01 - 02 - Video 2
└───02 - Chapter 2
    ├───02 - 01 - Video 1
    └───02 - 02 - Video 2

And why? Does it matter for the video player? Doesn't the video player go through the first folder then all its videos then the second folder. Or does it get all videos and sort them without regard for folder names?

Thanks for your fast answer. For my video player both structure work. I rename my videos according to second folder structure or very close to it, I just don't put space between chapter number and video number to make it more compact "01-01 - Video 1".

The reason I rather like second folder structure is that if for some reason I send 1 video only to a friend or if I copy only one video of a chapter somewhere, I know quickly where this video was from. The other reason is that if for some reason I put all video files in a single folder with a playlist (without subfolders) it will be organized in the correct order.

But it's also a personal taste, I'm not saying that I'm right. I know some people rather like "01.01" instead of "01-01" for example. Maybe there could be some configuration menu for the user to choose between several naming conventions?

[ahmedayman4a]

I like your naming scheme. I will add it to the app.

I like the 1st version. Since all the chapters are inside folders there is no need for chapter chronology number with video files.

Let me show you how I rename my courses after downloading.

For folders

And for files

Notice in addition of removing brackets I also add '0' before each numbers because that helps when you have more than 9 folders/files. This to make single digits in to double digits. Don't add 0 before 10 (double digit numbers).
