Description

Unable to download the videos from Pluralsight. The playlist consists of 61 videos as you can see in the debug log. Earlier with the same command, I downloaded 40 videos, it then raised the same error, so I tried executing the same command once again and getting this error again and again. Some time luckily it progresses to 3rd video on the playlist then same error `

I can't see any error message in the log provided.

If you were able to download 40 videos. Are you executing the command again starting from video 41 by doing this? --playlist-start 41

Have you tried yourself getting into pluralsight with your browser and playing the video you're unable to download? Your account might be banned.
