Small snippet to recover local recordings Zencastr has stored in IndexedDB. I used this to recover an audio file that failed to upload.

zencaster-recover.js

app.location.recordings.each(function (recording) { 
  recording.tracks.each(function (track) { 
    track.downloadFromLocal(window.location.href); 
  }) 
})

Zencastr Recovery Script

This is a small snippet to recover local recordings Zencastr has stored in IndexedDB. I used this to recover an audio file that failed to upload.

To run it (instrutions for Google Chrome, you may have to adapt for other web browsers):

1. open the web browser you were using when you made the recording,
2. visit the Zencastr URL where you made the recording,
3. right click on the page and select "Inspect",
4. click on the "Console" tab,
5. paste the script into the prompt and hit enter.

The file should then show up as a typical download does. For me that's to automatically download in my Downloads directory.

I don't have anything indeed in the local storage. This happened on Chromium, no UI feedback at all during the recording that things were not getting stored. 😞
