Udemy-dl: Can't download 1080

Created on 17 Jun 2018 · 10Comments · Source: r0oth3x49/udemy-dl

Hey,

i tried to download this cours https://www.udemy.com/adobe-illustrator-cc-masterclass-vom-anfanger-zum-profi. When I play it in the browser, the maximum resolution is 720p but the "Auto" resolution can show 1080 (it's real 1080 you can see the difference) but the udemy-dl only can download 720p.

The --info option also only shows 720p, but with youtube-dl I can download 1080p

@mumi thanks i will check & will let you know ASAP.

Update

Youtube-dl downloads the 1080p is because it is available in hls-stream format and udemy-dl currently don't have a support for hls based stream it only downloads the mp4. i will soon add support for hls based streams as well

@mumi you can use -q option to specify resolution you want to download. by default udemy-dl should download the max available resolution for video, but it seems strange to me that this is not working in your case. i don't have this course in my account so to test against this one i might need your account you can email me your details.

@r0oth3x49 I already used -q 1080 and in other courses it worked so far. But not with this one. I mailed you my account, you need an fast Internet connection so that the Udemy player picks 1080.
The strange thing is that you can't pick 1080 yourself. The udemy-dl also cant find the 1080 stream, but youtube-dl does.

I would also be interested for an update if you can. As of date, I still cannot download 1080p videos.

I wonder why you would close an future-enhancement even tho its not done ?
How should people know something is still on the TODO when its closed? 🤔

everything is there inside features when it's implemented so if people are going to read todo instead they can read, features which the tools already have.

may be in future i organize it well.
