Lynda.com Organization Login

[jtv7]

When I login with my Lynda.com organization login (provided by/through my university), the login fails. This means I cannot download the full set of videos. Example: youtube-dl -u abc@abc.edu http://lynda-link.com

Post the full output you get when running with --verbose option.

http://lynda-link.com/ does not resolve for me, so I don't think we can support it.

@phihag Sorry, "http://lynda-link.com" was just a placeholder link. Here is a better example: http://www.lynda.com/Python-tutorials/Up-Running-Python/122467-2.html. Included is a picture of the organization login. You click "Login through your organization or school", it re-routes you to the organization login page, you login, and then it re-routes you back to Lynda.com

@dstftw Here is the output:

@jtv7, log in through organization or school is not supported and it does not look feasible to implement as we will need to implement authentication for every single organization lynda supports.

@dstftw Injecting cookies should work though, right? I export my cookies from Firefox, but when I use the --cookies option (youtube-dl --cookies cookies.txt http://www.lynda.com/Python-tutorials/Up-Running-Python/122467-2.html --verbose) I get:
ERROR: Unable to download webpage: HTTP Error 400: Bad Request (caused by HTTPError()); please report this issue on https://yt-dl.org/bug . Make sure you are using the latest version; type youtube-dl -U to update. Be sure to call youtube-dl with the --verbose flag and include its complete output.

@jtv7 most likely you have invalid newline format used in cookies file.
I'm closing this since login with cookies works fine.
