Udemy-dl: Unable to extract course idation and login-form form

[thedtech]

Hey there,
While downloading a course these two errors are coming, (which I think are recent) :

1. Unable to extract course idation

[+] : Logged in successfully.
[-] Unable to extract course idation ..

2. Unable to extract login-form form

[*] : Trying to login as ([email protected])...
[-] Unable to extract login-form form

Please see through them.
Thank You.

@r0oth3x49 Sorry bro, but I did every thing which you mentioned to fix this issue in any thread like Updating the [ pip, requests, colorama, unidecode, six, requests[security], pyOpenSSL ] etc.

I have updated every module which is required. I also have updated the script to latest version
[ Version : 0.5 ].

My Operating System Is: Windows 10 Enterprise X64 and Internet Connection is also fine @100 Mbps.

I have used VPN also, but when I use VPN this error converts to the other error:
Unable to extract login-form form

I think this issue is now permanent. I am unable to fix it, Did everything mentioned in every post of yours previously, but unable to fix this error.

Thank you for your efforts.

@thedtech after certain interval didn't that worked for you, you have to wait atleast 3 to 4 minutes to retry downloading, as we have discussed in #184 that waiting for few minutes and resuming the download works for almost every one out there even for me i face the above error so many times but then i wait for atleast 5 to 10 minute to resume downloading and it works fine. currently there is no permanent solution to this.

@r0oth3x49 Actually that is the real problem bro, this error came for me yesterday and till then I am waiting. Waited for 5 minutes even for 1 hour but nothing is happening.I will try again today, hope it will work.

@r0oth3x49 Hey Bro, I tried everything on my current environment (Windows 10 X64 April 2018) but nothing working. Now I am trying to do the same on (Ubuntu 18.04 LTS Desktop) installed on vmware (Virtual Environment), but I am getting the error Command Not Found while executing the script.I have Python 3.6.5 installed and PIP/Modules are also installed.

Can you please instruct me If I am missing anything. Please!

Thank You!!!

@thedtech sorry for the late response. can you please verify that you are using this utility instead the one at Python's Repository. remember this cannot be installed via pip so you have to clone udemy-dl from here. one more suggestion is to use cookie based authentication mechanism. steps to use cookie based authentication are below.

• login to your udemy account via browser
• Once you are logged in goto the course you want to download and right click on page look for option Inspect Element & click on that option.

• Click on Network Tab Menu in Inspect Element and then click on XHR option.
  

• Refresh the page you will see some requests in Network tab right click on any one of them and goto Copy & then Copy Request Headers.
  

• Save the Copied Request Headers to text file (let say cookies.txt) under the root directory of udemy-dl where udemy-dl.py is.

• Now run the below command.
  python COURSE_URL -k file_name_where_you_save_request_headers.txt
• Done this will download the course for you.
• this guide is created using Firefox browser for other i hope will be the same process.
