Design of an application for downloading video-on-demand content from the RTV Slovenija portal

Diplomsko delo opisuje postopek izdelave aplikacije za prenos vsebin, ki jih v obliki videa na zahtevo ponuja RTV Slovenija. Cilj je bil omogočiti prenos vsebin iz arhiva RTV-ja na uporabnikov računalnik. Pri tem mora aplikacija uspešno prenesti katero koli vsebino ne glede na velikost ali tip datoteke. Prvi del diplomskega dela je teoretično usmerjen in opisuje uporabljene tehnologije. Poudarek je predvsem na opisu tehnologij videa na zahtevo, ki je namenjen takojšnemu dostopu do video in avdio vsebin, pri čemer je ogled omogočen kadar koli in ne le takrat, ko se vsebina oddaja. Opisani so tudi uporabljen programski jezik Java, integrirano razvojno okolje Netbeans, orodje Maven, format JSON ter knjižnici JsonPath in HtmlUnit. V drugem delu so opisani namen, izdelava in delovanje aplikacije. Zajete so vse potrebne faze, da se vsebina na določenem URL-naslovu shrani kot video ali avdio datoteka v računalniku.The thesis describes the process of making an application for content downloading in form of video-on-demand as offered by RTV Slovenija. The aim was to facilitate the transfer of content from the RTV archives to the user’s computer. However, the application has to download any content successfully, regardless of file size or type. The first part of the thesis is theoretical and discusses the technologies used. The emphasis is mainly placed on describing the video-on-demand technologies aimed at immediate access to video and audio content that can be viewed any time, not just when the content is broadcasted. The Java programming language, NetBeans integrated development environment, Maven tool, JSON format as well as JsonPath and HtmlUnit libraries that were used in the thesis are also described. The second part explains the purpose, development and functioning of the application. All the phases needed for transferring the content as a video or audio file from a specific URL address to the computer are discussed as well
