Ilias Video-Download-Button is a free Chrome add-on developed by nerdyhomeproductions. This add-on is designed to enhance the functionality of ILIAS Opencast pages by adding missing download buttons to videos.

ILIAS is an open-source E-Learning platform widely used by universities in conjunction with Opencast for distributing videos and online lectures. However, some videos on ILIAS do not have a download button, which can be frustrating and inconvenient, especially considering the reliability issues of the ILIAS platform. With Ilias Video-Download-Button, this problem is solved by seamlessly adding download buttons to videos that lack them.

The add-on makes it easier than ever to create backups of important videos and survive any potential ILIAS outages. It provides a simple and efficient solution for users who rely on ILIAS for their educational needs.

For those interested in trying this add-on, it is recommended to have access to an instance of ILIAS with Opencast. However, if you don't have access, you can host your own instance by following the instructions provided on the ILIAS and Opencast websites.
