You must provide valid account data with -u/-p
, -n
or --cookies
.
Google Chrome doesn't require me to put in any account data at all to watch the videos; why should I be required to "provide valid account data" to youtube-dl? This is some sort of bug, and I do not think it should be closed.
It does require. Log out and see.
I haven't logged in to begin with; I can see.
(at least for the first video.)
@cogburnd02 Without accounts only the first 2:51 video is available. Do you want to download that only? This is a course page and I guess most other users expect youtube-dl to download the whole course. As a result an account is required.

I attempted to download a free course from udemy, as above. youtube-dl didn't download the video(s)
I do not believe any credentials are required for this specific course.
