I know this might be not in Netgear's interest but I have written a little script which downloads all files the library from the last day. Basically it does the following:

 

* login with your credentials (your username and password)

* retrieve all videos from yesterday

* download all videos from yesterday to a distinct folder

* clean up all videos resp. the according directory wich are 60 days old

 

If you have a little server (or may be a NAS) running your just have to create a cron jobs or a Windows task in order to have it running on a daily basis.

 

It is a really simple Python script which essentially mimics the (very nice) web application from Netgear. Some parts are configurable: login data of course, download path and the period after a cleanup will take place.

 

If this is OK for Netgear and someone is interessted I'm happy to share it.

I'd be interested. I'd have to install a Windows version of Python to run it but then I'm a geek. I'll PM you my email address.

Is there a reason this can't be posted someplace for people to download? Is it secret code or against policy? I have a webserver and can provide some space to host it if needed.

The main reason I haven't put this someplace is that it's not my script.  The original authors made it available for me and I simply wrote up some directions to help with the install. Besides, putting on a server someplace really doesn't solve the distribution issue since it would still have to be linked anytime someone wanted it.  A simple PM works about as easily.  I can send it to you and you can ask the authors if they have any issue with it being on a server.

Hey JennC,

I see you're retired, from Netgear? Well  if so, that surely is some dedication.  I could raelly use the script for downloading files to my nas everyday.  If you still had that I would be foever in your debt.   My e-mail will be pmed.
