Looking for testers
More and more, I face the challenge of testing. I code on my own Debian machine, and use a Windows 10 VM to compile the executable. But testing has become more and more a challenge, especially for new features.
Thus, I'm looking for people who are interested in helping me.
The main challenges I face
- Lack of platform: As I effectively only have access to my Debian and a (far from realistic) Windows 10 machine, I can't test as much as I want.
- Lack of recordings: At the beginning of the pandemic, my university released most of the lectures' recordings with Zoom. I had plenty of URLs at hand for testing. But since September, we moved to another platform and thus I don't have as many fresh recordings to test. Some are very exotic (I discovered multi-clips recordings quite late).
How you can help
- If you use an OS other than me (Debian Stable), simply trying out new features and occasionally testing would be huge.
- If you have URLs I can use for testing, that would also be great! Password protected, SSO, Captcha, multi-clip,... the more exotic the better!
About URLs sharing
I understand you may not be comfortable sharing a work/personal/school URL for the world to see. If you are keen to share a URL, we can talk about it first and decide the mean of sharing. This can include:
- Who sees it (only me, only the team of testers, everybody,...)
- For how long (as long as necessary, only until a specific problem is fixed,...)
- Do you share the password (if not, you'd need to test things yourself)
If you are anyhow interested in collaborating, simply comment here below. I'm not sure how yet, but I'll share a way for us to communicate easily.
Anyway, thanks for your help, and have an awesome day!
Legendary work here. I got the Windows binary working without issue on my machine, downloading my class lectures. If you want my help in any way with testing, I'm happy to give back.
Thanks for that! I'm slowing moving towards a "normal" framework with contributors and testers. For now, you can track pre-releases versions (as well as the Beta branch), and give your "approval" in the corresponding issues.
@nabeelsherazi A new version is out; I would appreciate some feedback, in particular the new --cookies option. I won't explain much here, to see if the README is explicit enough. Can you take a look and try that option?
working fine on openSUSE tumbleweed (precompiled binary), please add option to select download either "camera" or "screen" or "both". Download is very slow as compare to youtube-dl (ydl downloads at full speed zoomdl downloads at ~ 1-2 mbps only
hi olivier, thank you so much for your effort, I am not sure if this is the right spot but I received a number of error messages on macosx Monterey, one message including "Please re-run with option -v 0 and report it to http://github.com/battleman/zoomdl" - how can I share the info with you, again thank you very much, our prof just sent us the zoom links and passwords and encouraged us to find out how to save the files, have a good day

Works great on windows 10.
Available to test different scenario and new update. I just posted an issue about the zoom platform being updated and zoomdl not working. I am willing to contribute in order to make it work again. Please let me know what I can do to help.
