Removing the /course/ from the links seems to be working.

TESTED ON A MAC OS

  1. Install youtube-dl through brew install youtube-dl. If you used curl, you can remove it through rm -rf /usr/local/bin/youtube-dl.
  2. If you face symlink permissions ERRORS, run sudo chown -R $(whoami) $(brew --prefix)/* then brew doctor and fix each error according to the instructions.
  3. brew cleanup
  4. brew link youtube-dl
  5. cd . (navigate to your favorable location that you wish to put your videos folder)
  6. Login to udemy and get site cookies text file. I used Get Cookies.txt.
  7. mkdir MyVideos. (name it as you wish)
  8. youtube-dl --cookies udemy.com_cookies.txt -o '~/MyVideos/%(playlist)s/%(chapter_number)s - %(chapter)s/%(title)s.%(ext)s' https://www.udemy.com/<course-name>
  9. Done! 🎮
