Closed TheOtherKraits closed 6 years ago

TheOtherKraits commented 6 years ago

I'm trying to use lynda-dl with my university login but I am getting the error: Failed to extract csrftoken. after I input my username and password

My input was: python lynda-dl.py -o insertuniversityhere.edu https://www.lynda.com/Python-tutorials/Learning-Python/661773-2.html

I'm running on Windows 10 64-bit with Python 3.6

@r0oth3x49 I just tried it and got the same error. Can I email you my organization? I believe the issue is with how my organization's login works. I get the error when I try it with an incorrect login as well as the correct one.

@TheOtherKraits yes you can email me. i will test and try to fix the issue ASAP.

TheOtherKraits commented 6 years ago

@r0oth3x49 Thanks! email sent.

Apologies for reviving a closed issue, but I'm getting the same problem. Running Python 3.6.6 on MSYS2 on Windows 8.1. Using incorrect cridentials has the same result.
