The current features are listed below.
1. ● Better file names when you download videos ●
Instead of downloading lectures as hd1.mp4, lectures are downloaded with informative file names. This is especially useful when you are downloading multiple lectures from different units at once.
e.g. "hd1.mp4" → "DATA1001-2019-09-29.mp4"
2. ● More video playback speed options ●
Previously the lectures were limited to playback speeds of between 0.5x and 2x. This extension adds 4 faster playback options (2.25x, 2.50x, 2.75x, 3.00x) for those especially slow lecturers.
3. ● Add day to lecture date strings ●
Echo360 only displays the date (e.g. 4th Aug), but not the day (e.g. Wednesday) on the list of lectures for a particular unit. As most people usually associated lectures times with days rather than dates, I often find myself opening a calendar app to check the date a particular lecture was run, when simply displaying the day would be enough information to deduce this myself. Thus, this extension also adds a small 3 letter day string next to each lecture.
4. ● Allow hiding of future lectures ●
Echo360 will normally display every lecture (including those not released yet), and does not provide a feature to hide them. This extension add a checkbox to hide future lectures, which is enabled by default. The default ordering is also set to newest first so that when combined with the hiding functionality, all relevant lectures are immediately visible.
5. ● Re-position the view lecture popup ●
For some reason, the view lecture popup is partially hidden behind the right hand side of the page. Echo360+ moves this popup back into the page where it should already be.
More features coming soon!

This extension was made specifically for the USyd lecture system, and as a result some features may not work with your own university.

Extore is a team of professionals who are passionate about creating extensions for web browsers. This devotion also gives us opportunity to appreciate work of other people. We get inspired by useful, open source extensions made by developers all over the world. Our strong belief is that one should share helpful add-ons with others. That’s why we’d like to present you our ever-growing list of favourite extensions that have inspired us. Moreover, as you probably have already learned, sometimes struggling for the best brings an end to the good. Talking about add-ons it often turns out that an upgrade is worse then previous version. Also it can become really tricky to get back to the beloved version of your favourite extension. That’s why we’re going to make not only the latest, but all versions of our favourite (and we hope yours too) add-ons available for download. No more compromises, just stick to the version you really like!
