Playlists are not supported currently, use the full URL of course:
youtube-dl -u user -p pass http://www.lynda.com/Bootstrap-tutorials/Up-Running-Bootstrap-3/133339-2.html
.
Google Chrome -> go to a course -> right click on page -> inspect -> inside the console paste this, hit enter. It will copy all links to your clip board for a batch file. Hope it helps.
var output = ""; $.each($("a.item-name"), function(index,item){output += "\n" + $(item).attr("href");}); var copyFrom = $('<textarea/>'); copyFrom.css({ position: "absolute", left: "-1000px", top: "-1000px", }); copyFrom.text(output); $('body').append(copyFrom); copyFrom.select(); document.execCommand('copy');
Had this same issue. Wanted to download entire playlists from Lynda.com without too much work. Worked around it by watching a second or two of a course in a playlist so that it moves over to your Course History. This history uses the actual course url rather than the playlist autoplay url. Which means that you can mass grab the links to all of the courses in your history using a tool like the Link Klipper add-on for Chrome. It has a mouse drag selection to specify which links to copy from the Course History page. Download as .txt and you have a playlist ready for a batch file.
You will probably find some other tool to grab those links if you need to.
hi,
