Description of your issue, suggested solution and other information

Yes, I have an account and it's working. I've logged in over and over and over again using the same username/email and password. Yes, I just purchased this course literally a few hours ago. Was able to download up until video 226 out of 309. At video 227, this error occurred:

Recreated error by executing exactly same command as used above. Changed nothing. I can still log into the my account and view the course videos. I can watch the current video that was not downloaded. No, it was not being updated as I have seen from other posts.

Notes:

I used python to install youtube-dl. Tried updating it with python.
I've tried this over and over, same error.

Downloading videos from Udemy course. Again, I'm absolutely positive that I:

youtube-dl is 2018.01.18
udemy account exists and 100% accessible
username and password is 100% correct
have bought it. already watched some vids.
is absolute accessible. I previewed a lot of videos before and after this error.
recreated error multiple times (all the time since it happened)

You must provide account credentials for any further investigations.

imthecapedbaldy commented 6 years ago

what account credentials? my username and password for udemy?

dstftw commented 6 years ago

Udemy account credentials that reproduce this issue.

imthecapedbaldy commented 6 years ago

i'm going to have to leave my email and udemy password here out in the open??

dstftw commented 6 years ago

No, send by mail in my profile.

imthecapedbaldy commented 6 years ago

This is very strange. Absolutely strange. I was about to email you. I first changed my udemy password. Then i thought "hey this sounds stupid but hey it just might work if i try to execute it again with my new password. #stupidProgrammerLogic" I changed absolutely no syntax. Just the password. NO SYNTAX WAS CHANGED. It's downloading again now. No error. But it's going over the ones downloaded first (before 227 where the error occurred). Will update if error re occurs in a few moments, Download speeds not so fast here in my country sorry. I implore you for your patience.

dstftw commented 6 years ago

Most likely this was caused due to a server side issue or some overuse protection. Definitely not due to characters used in a password.
