Since working on Dashboard for FRC, I’ve needed to learn some C#. In my quest to learn more programming languages, I’ve created an FLV Downloader for the TBA API.
http://bobcatrobotics.org/tba_api/Setup.exe
It allows you to get the FLV files that you usually stream off of thebluealliance.net. You have the option of (in any combination) to get all the videos of a specific team, specific event, or competition level. Once you hit ‘Get List’, you’ll be presented with a list of all the matches it found. Sorry for the arcane-type listing, but when there is a lot to list, everything bogs down. It should be fairly easy to figure out though. Some of the common short codes are:
qm = qualifying match
qf = quarter final
sf = semi final
f = finals
m = match number
eg: pa_sf2m1.flv = Philadelphia Regional, Semi-Finals 2, Match 1
I hope this application will help at Nationals if you want to review videos of matches in other divisions for scouting, etc. Keep in mind this is my first C# application so there might be a few bugs. Please reply here with any bug reports, comments, suggestions, etc.
Thanks,
Dave
