As with #3661 -

I can try working on a pr, but python is definitely not my forte. If you could help by pointing me in the direction of an extractor that would work similar to this (I'm not sure but maybe I should look at the Lynda extractor?) then I'll give it a shot.

So, the same applies here 😄

There are lot's of courses (both free and premium) in this site which uses wistia for it's videos.
I recommend adding it to the system

[Ayman97]

if this was a porn site, i don't think that i will wait all this time

[remitamine]

works with the latest version.

[manniR]

works only on free ;(

[yan12125]

--cookies should work for non-free videos. If not, please open a new issue.

[manniR]

works great - thanks ;)

[brennebeck]

@manniR - Are you able to download an entire playlist/course with a single command (e.g. just using the course URL to get all vids) or are you running the command for each video?

[manniR]

@brennebeck - tutsplus-cookie.txt (extracted cookie) - playlist-links.txt (copied playlist links)

youtube-dl -v --cookies tutsplus-cookie.txt -a playlist-links.txt -o '#%(autonumber)s - %(title)s.%(ext)s'

[ahmadawais]

@manniR All I get by running your command is this error

ERROR: batch file could not be read

Any help would be appreciated?

[brennebeck]

@ahmadawais you'll need to save the list of URLs you want to download in the playlist-links.txt file, if you use a queue file. So put https://code.tutsplus.com/courses/one-two-knockout/lessons/introduction in the playlist-links.txt and any other URLs on a new line each and run the command from the same directory, without the URL flag:
youtube-dl --verbose --username=mrahmadawais@gmail.com --password=rajuhaigul -a playlist-links.txt

[ahmadawais]

@brennebeck Thanks for that! Is there any way for me to automate the link capture and playlist-links.txt file formation process on Tuts+?

[brennebeck]

I have a jquery script I've been using in chrome devtools. The same could be done in Phantom probably so that you get the auto write. I'll post the script when I'm back at my Mac 👍

@brennebeck Great! Looking forward!

[brennebeck]

@ahmadawais here ya' go: https://gist.github.com/brennebeck/fa9f45c6bef202c75ced4509e326462f

So I have those two scripts saved as snippets in devtools. Here are the steps:

1. Navigate to the page you want the URLs from (e.g. https://webdesign.tutsplus.com/courses/make-the-leap-from-static-mockups-to-moving-prototypes)
2. Run the jquerify.js first
3. Run get-urls.js
4. The console will have a list of URLs that you can copy and paste now 👍

It wouldn't take too much work to get this to work outside of a browser, but this is quick enough for me. Hope it helps.

[ahmadawais]

@brennebeck Thank! Where am I supposed to run these scripts? A gif maybe. I will work it out and convert them to bash.

[ahmadawais]

@brennebeck Thanks!

I spent some time and built a bash function for this scrapping.

You need to have pup installed.
Just put it inside your alias file and run elinks http://domain.com/ playlist-links.txt

Cheers!

[neilbannet]
