Note

This bookmarklet is very dependent on the structure of video.ethz.ch's HTML. Slight changes can and will break it.

Installation

Select, then drag & drop the following to your bookmarks (or create a new bookmark with the following URL):

javascript:var%20win%20%3D%20window.open%28document.querySelector%28%27li.video%20a%27%29.href%2C%20%27_blank%27%29%3B

Save it under something you remember (e.g. "Open ETH Video").

Usage

Open a lecture link and click on the bookmark. This should open a new tab with the video file.

(e.g. 1. visit https://video.ethz.ch/lectures/d-infk/2019/autumn/252-0027-00L/1d01fdfc-cb3f-4feb-b5c4-4f6b449d0cc2.html 2. click on the bookmark)

Hello,
This is awesome. I saw the video.
The above javascript doesn't seem to be working anymore. I am a student at University of Florida. Can the above code be fixed ?

Thanks,
With best regards,

@mtbhin I'm afraid the architecture changed and everything is locked behind a login now.
