It seems that non-working videos lacks this line:

Is there a workaround?

Hi, @camillehuot how did you install youtube-dl?
curl? apt (or other package managers)?

If you are on debian based systems I recommend you to uninstall and install by curl (i don't test in other systems), I have the same problem and is now solved!

Hi, I'm closing since I do not have access to Linkedin Learning anymore. And thanks to @D3boker1, the feedback is that it seems to be solved.
