Some info that might help: The/One problem seems to be the User Agent sent by youtube-dl. Unfortunately it's hardcoded (line 126 in udemy.py) so the '--user-agent' option is useless. Manually changing it to a recent Firefox string and feeding youtube-dl the cookies from an active session fixed the problem for me.
