It looks like edx-dl is missing most of the sections of the course. In my example, it sees only 1 section, while edx site displays more than 5 (at the moment):

mor3dr3ad commented 5 years ago

So, I've dug into the code a bit and I think I found the issue: for some courses, edx has again updated the structure of their website. The issue is with line 397 in /edx-dl/.parsing.py

    sections_soup = soup.find_all('li', class_='outline-item section')

In the new format, the sections have a different class, namely "outline-item section scored".

Should be easily fixed. will try to hack sth together, but this better be checked by so experienced.

mor3dr3ad commented 5 years ago

Alright, quick fix:

replace as follows in /edx_dl/parsing.py:

Line 385: subsections_soup = section_soup.find_all('li', class_='vertical outline-item focusable') with subsections_soup = section_soup.find_all('li', class_=['vertical outline-item focusable', 'vertical outline-item focusable scored'])

and line 397:

sections_soup = soup.find_all('li', class_='outline-item section') with sections_soup = soup.find_all('li', class_=['outline-item section', 'outline-item section scored'])

This should work for both the 'old' and new format. Will try to run some tests and create a merge request sometime this week.

Thanks a lot. Its working now.

malawadd commented 5 years ago

thank you it works now

this partially works , it still misses some weeks and module i tried it on this course

https://courses.edx.org/courses/course-v1:CurtinX+MKT1x+1T2019/course/

and the entire module 3 didnt download

mor3dr3ad commented 5 years ago

@malawadd can you please share error messages/debug info? Do the sections just not download or does it exit with a message?

malawadd commented 5 years ago

@mor3dr3ad

it download an empty folder but skips all the content, then processed to downloading the following module and all it's content, there are no error messages or anything

mor3dr3ad commented 5 years ago

Just ran the course you mentioned and it seems to be working for me. Will do some more testing this week. In the meanwhile maybe download missing vids manually

malawadd commented 5 years ago

@mor3dr3ad do you mind telling me more about the testing you plan to run , because i would like to try and fix this but am not sure where to start nor what exactly i should look for.

mor3dr3ad commented 5 years ago

@malawadd well for starters you could help by providing some more debugging info by using the --debug flag when running edx with the course you mentioned and providing information.

For me, my fix is working, even with your course. So without being able to reproduce your error I can only assume there is a different issue (maybe using a different version of edx-dl?)

rbrito commented 5 years ago

If something fixes a program, why don't you submit your changes as a pull request to fix things (or get things slightly improved) for other users?

mor3dr3ad commented 5 years ago

Planning on doing exactly that sometime this week. Just a bit busy right now

Hello,

Alright, quick fix:

replace as follows in /edx_dl/parsing.py:

Line 385: subsections_soup = section_soup.find_all('li', class_='vertical outline-item focusable') with subsections_soup = section_soup.find_all('li', class_=['vertical outline-item focusable', 'vertical outline-item focusable scored'])

This should work for both the 'old' and new format. Will try to run some tests and create a merge request sometime this week.

This solution works for many courses, but now old courses are not supported: https://courses.edx.org/courses/course-v1:KTHx+DTS02.1x+1T2018/course/

adizukerman commented 5 years ago

For class https://courses.edx.org/courses/course-v1:MITx+2.830.2x+3T2019/course/ it worked partially. Not all videos and attachments were downloaded.

By the way, thank you to everyone who is working on this. This tool is so helpful as a time saver to allow working on classes offline.

WajdiBenSaad commented 5 years ago

This should be integrated into a new release. Edx has changed their website structure and this new change breaks all download operations with edx-dl.

Thanks everyone! I'm facing the same issue and unfortunately the solution provided does not work with this course: https://courses.edx.org/courses/course-v1:EdinburghX+CCSx+3T2019/course/ any hint?

EugeneLoy commented 4 years ago

Hi. I've put together few pull requests that fix various issues with currently released (0.1.10) edx-dl

569 - quickfix from #568 that fixes login issues. This is a road-blocker for the next two and I'd like someone to review it, since I am not overly familiar with login process (as is original quickfix author).
570 - this fixes current issue. I tested it on courses I had problems with before, as well as some of the problematic ones that were reported here. Mentioned courses worked for me but in case someone has problems with other courses - let me know so I could update the fix.
556 - my earlier fix for broken resource file names.

@rbrito could you or other core contributors, please, review these PRs and release new version with these fixes included? The currently released version has been unusable for some time now and it would be great to release fixes for these breaking issues whenever possible.

Meanwhile, If someone needs a working version or is willing to test these fixes you can access cumulative fix with all of the above included here: https://github.com/EugeneLoy/edx-dl/tree/cummulative

Hi @EugeneLoy , thank you for your help! May I ask if you were able to download this course? https://courses.edx.org/courses/course-v1:EdinburghX+CCSx+3T2019/course/ I'm having trouble with it but not with others

EugeneLoy commented 4 years ago

@antoniosereno yes, I've been able to download that course.

antoniosereno commented 4 years ago

Ok I've downloaded the edx-dl-cummulative, made everything you suggested and now it gives me an HTTP Error 400: Bad Request

Yesterday I was able to access the courses list, now I'm not able anymore..

It there anything I'm missing?

EugeneLoy commented 4 years ago

@antoniosereno are you sure you running code from cummulative branch of the repo and not the one installed globally in your system?

The error you are getting looks like the one that should be fixed by #569 .

One way to run code from repo is to cd into repo root and point python to .py file directly, like this:

python edx-dl.py -u <user> <course_url>

If this wont help, please, post the full debug output, so I could figure out what went wrong.

@antoniosereno Thanks, but from your debug output I can say for sure that edx-dl from your environment is used, as indicated by this part of stack trace:

File "c:\users\anton\anaconda3\lib\site-packages\edx_dl\edx_dl.py", line 167, in _get_initial_token opener.open(url)

Please point your python directly to the edx-dl.py from repo to avoid using version that is installed in your system.

Looking at your post, command should look something like this:

C:\edx-dl-cummulative\edx-dl-cummulative>python edx-dl.py -u antoniosereno29@gmail.com --list-courses

@EugeneLoy , works great with https://courses.edx.org/courses/course-v1:MITx+2.830.2x+3T2019/course/ , thank you so much for the time and effort! I hope it gets integrated into the master build soon.

antoniosereno commented 4 years ago

It worked! I was able to download all the videos in the course! Thank you ! May I ask if there's a command to download not only medias (video and pdf) but also the written contents?

EugeneLoy commented 4 years ago

As far as I know if file is "attached" to course page it will be treated a resource by edx-dl and will be downloaded. At least this was my experience so far.

Sometimes, however, you have extra content that is present on the page inline (like errata, tables, extra recitations and text explanations, etc). As far as I understand this is what you interested in.

Now, it just so happens that lately I've been working on a tool that saves this kind of content :)

It is also helpful if you want to save exercises and homework (with explanations), or, any other type of content that is displayed on the course pages.

This tool is meant to complement edx-dl and is called edx-archive and can be found here: https://github.com/EugeneLoy/edx-archive

I only released it recently, so if you guys check it out that would be great!

antoniosereno commented 4 years ago

wow, I'll take a look at it! I was initially thinking of doing it manually, but it would be a long work! Thank you Eugene!

naefl commented 4 years ago

@EugeneLoy that worked, thanks for troubleshooting!

balta2ar commented 4 years ago

@EugeneLoy from your tool's page

-c, --concurrency number of pages to save in parallel (default: 4)

I don't know what's the current state of their implementation on the backend now, but my impression was that hammering edx servers is generally not a good idea. FWIW, couple of years ago they blocked me by IP for several months after me flooding their servers with requests (debugging this edx-dl, by the way). It's not that the ban could not be surmounted, but the message was clear. So if you ask me, it's more of a courtesy to not put extra pressure on them by default. If you're still not convinced, please take your time to read this thread: https://github.com/coursera-dl/edx-dl/issues/377

EugeneLoy commented 4 years ago

@balta2ar Thanks, will take my time to read though #377 , however, motivation behind adding concurrency to the tool is not to speed things up on expense of edx servers but to shave some waste time taken by page render.

The tool makes snapshot of the page once it fully rendered (including math processing) and since edx pages can be pretty bloated (I saw pages taking more than a minute to render) this leads to a lot of time being wasted waiting for render (with no network activity).

The actual workload in terms of average request rate is not high and should not cause any issues with default settings. In fact I used much higher concurrency factor and I can say that the memory is much more of a bottleneck candidate than request rate overload.

antoniosereno commented 4 years ago

Sorry for the late answer. Can you please mention the entire procedure to run the edx-archive-master? I'm not able to install it, anaconda prompt says that npm is not recognised as an internal or external command

EugeneLoy commented 4 years ago

@antoniosereno Hi.

npm is "node package manager". It is distributed along with node.

If I am not mistaken, you can get node through conda by installing nodejs package. Otherwise, you can get it from here.

Once you get npm on your system, install edx-archive:

npm install edx-archive -g

I'll update readme to clear this npm part shortly.

antoniosereno commented 4 years ago

it works perfectly @EugeneLoy ! Thanks a lot, you saved me a big amount of time!
