fail to create a folder with long name correctly #119

Closed negef closed 10 years ago

negef commented 10 years ago

System: windows 7 executed command: coursera-dl marketing-001 -u xxxx@email.com -p *****

problem description:

coursera-dl created a folder with name "08 - (Week 8) GO TO MARKET STRATEGIES How to Find Lead Users and Facilitate Influence and Co",

but the name is supposed to be "08 - (Week 8) GO TO MARKET STRATEGIES How to Find Lead Users and Facilitate Influence and Contagion".

And it showed:

WindowsError: [Error 3] The system cannot find the path specified: 'C:\temp\ma rketing-001\08 - (Week 8) GO TO MARKET STRATEGIES How to Find Lead Users and Facilitate Influence and Co...\01 - (1) Brands and Digital Marketing (14-01)'

I have tried to manually change the folder name but that didn't work.

Thanks, Ben

Use the current master branch and see the mppl argument

Thanks for your reply. I am fairly new to python and programming language. Could you explain a bit more what is "master branch" and "mppl argument"?

Thanks, negef

Use the download zip button on https://github.com/dgorissen/coursera-dl Install pip if you have not already (http://www.pip-installer.org/) Install all the dependencies: pip install -U -r requirements.txt run python courseradownloader/courseradownloader.py and look at the help text

It's really nice to get this tool. I've encountered the same problem, and I've already set the "mppl" variable to 240. But it's still not long enough for specific videos in some courses. I really appreciate that if you could improve the naming rules, which can shorten the name of videos automatically when out of resources. BTW, the tool is awesome and really saving lots of time on it. Thks~

dgorissen commented 10 years ago

mppl means the maximum length of a path segment, so it should be set smaller not larger. e.g., 70. Also ensure you upgrade to the latest version which is just released.
