When I call the functions and go to pass arguments for the functions (specifically for download_clips and download_clip) I get an error. I'm unsure what is supposed to go in their. I've tried multiple arguments but I can't seem to get the correct one. Also, for download_clip can I put multiple clips in there? Is there a way to have download_clip download all .mov files?

def download_clip(clip):
    url = "http://10.1.1.27/media/" + clip
    print url

def download_clips(response):
    values = response.split(":")
    i = 0
    for word in values:
        i += 1
        if(word.find('clipname') > -1):
            clip = values[i].split(',')[0].translate(string.maketrans("",""), '[]{} \,\"\" ')
            if not os.path.exists(clip):
                print "Downloading clip: " + clip
        else:
            f = urllib.urlopen("http://10.1.1.27/config?action=set&paramid=eParamID_MediaState&value=0")
            print "No new clips found"

how are you calling the download_clips(response) function ?

I've modified the code since this was put up. Here is the updated code. It works. However I need to be able to download all .mov files to a directory. Can you assist with this?

import urllib, string, os

def is_download_allowed():
    f = urllib.urlopen("http://10.1.1.27/config?action=get&paramid=eParamID_MediaState")
    response = f.read()
    if (response.find('"value":"1"') > -1):
        return True
    f = urllib.urlopen("http://10.1.1.27/config?action=set&paramid=eParamID_MediaState&value=1")

def download_clip(clip):
    url = "http://10.1.1.27/media/" + clip
    print url
    #os.system("curl --output " + clip + " " + url);

def download_clips():
    i = 0
    response = ""
    values = response.split(":")
    for word in values:
        i += 1
        if(word.find('clipname') > -1):
            clip = values[i].split(',')[0].translate(string.maketrans("",""), '[]{} \,\"\" ')
            if not os.path.exists(clip):
                print "Downloading clip: " + clip
        else:
            f = urllib.urlopen("http://10.1.1.27/config?action=set&paramid=eParamID_MediaState&value=0")
            print "No new clips found"

def is_download_not_allowed():
    f = urllib.urlopen("http://10.1.1.27/config?action=get&paramid=eParamID_MediaState")
    response = f.read()
    if (response.find('"value":"-1"') > 1):
        return True
    f = urllib.urlopen("http://10.1.1.27/config?action=set&paramid=eParamID_MediaState&value=0")
