To download some videos today I wasn't succesful with the script but these steps worked:

1. In Browser login to Videocampus
2. Press Play on the video
3. Open Developer Tools > Tab Network
4. Use the XHR filter

(Show screenshot)

7. Right-Click on any of the files of type ocet-stream, copy as link (German "Wer kopieren" > "Als Link kopieren")
8. Replace the string as follows:

# in
https://videocampus.sachsen.de/media/hlsMedium/key/[String A]/format/auto/ext/mp4/learning/0/path/[String A]_[String B]_480p_mp4_193.ts
# out
https://videocampus.sachsen.de/getMedium/[String A].mp4?[String B]&format=1080p

Example:

# in
