account-needed
|
@nChauhan91 i might need cookies or creds of an account to reproduce and fix the issue as i can't reproduce it with the courses i have in my account. the otherway could be finding a course which is free and produces the same issue so that i can enroll and check against that. for courses that i have in my account, udemy-dl is working fine for me. |
|
okay you can take my account: access_token = **** |
|
and try to use this command: |
|
This is the course which i had issues with, in this specifically chapter 2 had videos starting URL with blob https://www.udemy.com/course/react-the-complete-guide-incl-redux/ |
@xalgord thanks for sharing your cookies you could have shared it on my email though. never share such things publicly as i will not be responsible for misuse its just an advice i have edited the comment, you can re-login or update password so that the access-token gets changed as using this token anyone with udemy-dl will be able to download all courses from your account without your permission. my email is also listed on profile: logout and login back again and share the new access_token over email If privacy is no concern for you then it's okay i will continue testing with the access token you provided and you don't need to change anything. the token will expire soon though but i have checked for me the token even worked for days. (never checked expiry time) |
okkay sir, i understand. |
|
Has this been fixed? I also get issue on this course: https://www.udemy.com/course/react-the-complete-guide-incl-redux/ |
This question was made exactly for this course & chapter 😁 |
|
I have found another course with same problem i think |
|
I noticed that the ones it skips for me are also disabled for download on the udemy site. |
|
Please add this course to the list of courses with alot of skips https://www.udemy.com/course/unrealcourse/learn/lecture/15637754 |
|
First, thanks for doing this tool! Second, I am also encountering issues with https://www.udemy.com/course/the-web-developer-bootcamp - but only some sections/chapters, e.g. 29. |
|
i have tried to it reproduce with cookies/access_token provided but unfortunately i was not able to do that on that particular course. send account creds on: i 'm not able to reproduce the issue with access_token, i 'm asking for account because i need to debug it a bit deeper to check how i can make it possible to download or if it is possible or not. |

Hello, I have the same issue. Only download assets but video? Can you help me please. Below is the picture FYI. Found lectures but not download then.
|
|
My course is https://ninjavan.udemy.com/course/case-study-powerpoint-2013-presentation-slide-by-slide/learn/lecture/5909112#overview, it happens nothing from Chapter 4 onwards. I tried to test other courses. It happens also for all of the courses which I tested. Almost chapters are not filled in full video. |
are you able to download at this time? |
|
same here skipping a bunch of courses and videos |
|
Same here. I think Udemy upgraded its security(encryption). |
i guess it was always encrypted. would be great if you can share your creds on my email so that i can check, If it's the issue with encryption i will implement a mechanism to download those as well. email: |
i can give it a try to implement a mechanism for downloading, but i need a proper account with the course i can reproduce the issue and then try implementing a fix if any. |
|
I already have requested an account, I can't reproduce with the courses i have in my account so either provide me a free course URL that reproduces the issue or provide me an account creds on my email with the course url that is having the issue. i have already tested it with cookies but it didn't helped, That's why i 'm asking for an account otherwise i can't do much about it if i can't reproduce the issue myself. |
|
okay i guess i managed to figured it out i will check try implement a fix soon. Hopefully it will work. |
I have emailed you bro. I have given you my account with then course url. Also Today there is new error. When I am trying to download the course, Its saying forbitten. Why?? |
Yeaaah no. Enough users do exist paying. For example... I did. This is a tired bull response given by publishers. It's been seen through, too. I can literally create my own CA cert, import it at system level, sign a fake kernel driver and have full system access any time I want. Doesn't stop a thing. It's just a hassle for legitimate users to do with what they want with the things they want. Edit: We should probably get back on topic. "Boo DRM is in the way again." |
didn't get your point the last one |
|
It's happening the same to me right now, Anyway thanks for your work on this amazing tool @r0oth3x49 |
|
Hi @r0oth3x49 bhai, Should we just go ahead and close this ticket as no solution available ? |
|
I too need a workaround simply because I've paid for the courses....all of
the ones I want offline....and I have an internet connection only for small
bursts of time...I can't use Udemy online to do the courses as needed. I
don't want free content. I just want offline content. If anyone can help me
with this use case, I would be grateful. If Udemy simply gave us the same
functionality as the Android app, we would be good to go. You can contact
me on Discord @ SirGarbagelo#3805

It's not that trivial, I believe. Of course, I used the possibility to
download the content. This offers much more freedom of use.
And of course there is the permanent question "what is the meaning of
'lifetime'"?
Now, after downloading the lessons is not possible anymore, I crawled a
little bit (I assume, everybody here did the same) and the result was
really scaring. There are some sources, which offer to download the content
for free. You may even request for a topic, if the required is not
available at the downlaod source.
Of course I am annoyed about the current state. But on the other hand,
Udemy can only exist if enough users pay. In the end, we gnash our teeth,
but we should be grateful for the protection of the content.

There is a workaround, you can use any android emulator and use the android app on it to download the course, till this issue is fixed |
|
I do some Android Development and I have done that but it is
extremely extremely slow and I cannot seem to correct that in the emulator.
But thanks for the thought.

Make sure you're running the x86-64 build of Android's image and turn on hardware acceleration. (SVM, etc, look into hardware virtualization for your hardware). If it is still slow, you've either not got it configured correctly or your CPU is far too old for hardware virtualization. |

The emulator runs fine. It is just the Udemy app in the emulator. If you
have an emulator set up, see if you can download videos to the app on a
Windows emulator.. I essentially cannot. It just says downloading but it
does not actually do it , it seems. I've tried various emulators and none
work. I'm wondering if Udemy has somehow disabled this function on an
emulator?

The Android API can usually tell an app if they're running in an emulator, so I'm sure they're going to do that. I took your comment of 'slow' as the emulator. |

won't fix
|
same here ! |
|
The same thing happened here, Is there any solution? Some videos are being downloaded, others not! |
Did you two bother to even read? |
if the dev won't fix the repo is useless. thanks to the dev who made a great job so far, I have left a donation for him in hope of this issue be fixed, heartbreaking... |
No, udemy-dl can still rip non-DRM stuff, including files. Some authors have begun to upload their videos as attachments in response to people asking for offline, udemy-dl can download those. >_> It can also rip subtitles, which I find quite useful. Most sources I obtain from (what I've purchased) don't supply subtitles, or they forcibly embed their own and such, while udemy-dl can still give me the subtitles. |
|
I pay for all the courses I want but I can't download them and that is a problem because I have intermittent internet. Someone has solved this problem because some of these tutorial download sites are still getting courses. I have example sites. I will have to resort to using them if a solution is not found. I am always open to any suggestions here.................................. I don't want free stuff. Just offline access to what I've paid for. |
I understand, but you cannot complain about it here, you have to ask Udemy for the access. Sorry to tell you that... |
|
So udemy went full subscription model mode. Not surprised at that move, udemy is no longer a viable option for learning. |
The subscription-model is extremely abusive and anti-consumer, survives on DRM or IP and such. "Do what you want because a pirate is free, you are a pirate!" <-- Motto growing to resound all the world over. ;) |

Can't you just download lectures with "Video Downloader by Video Octopus" Chrome Extension? |

Nope, just checked -- you can only download those videos that this tool
can download too. On 90% of the lectures this extension downloads a
single 1-2KB encrypted mp4.

Does anyone have a solution? |
Sure. Learn to read. |

@OdinVex |
|
@r0oth3x49 I'd recommend one last post from you explaining the situation and then locking the Issue permanently. Might help reduce the number of people not reading and such. |

I took the latest for udemy-dl and the issue still persists, so is there any solution found yet? |
and others
When i'm trying to download any course any videos that have their URLs starting in blob:https://URL_UDEMY are being skipped.
the lectures are recognized but only assets in that chapter are downloaded. I have all requirements including ffmpeg installed & working in command line.
