Could you update to the latest version (2015.10.13) and try again? See update instructions if you have problems.

[jaan143]

yes my youtube-dl is updated i download yesterday from their site
if you have skype then plz add me and help me dear i will very thanksfull of your
skype: john.john4747

[yan12125]

Look into the lines:

File "C:\Python34\lib\site-packages\youtube_dl\extractor\lynda.py", line 74, in _login
raise ExtractorError('Unable to log in')

The 74th line of youtube_dl\extractor\lynda.py is not raise ExtractorError('Unable to log in'), so I suspect you're using an out-dated version. Check it with the following command:

youtube-dl --version
2015.10.13

[jaan143]

yes its showing
2015.10.13

[jaan143]

can you give me lynda.py new file ?
i will past and try to update in python

[yan12125]

Here it is: https://github.com/rg3/youtube-dl/blob/master/youtube_dl/extractor/lynda.py

I guess maybe there are multiple youtube-dl installations, and youtube-dl by some reason uses the old lynda.py

[jaan143]

this method is working fine in your side ?
and after i replace all these lynda.py txt into old lynda.py file then i need to update something via command or not ?

[jaan143]

here is my current lynda file txt

I don't have a Lynda account so I can't test it.

The lynda.py you're currently using is the version on Aug 5, or specifically, between commit 8a5601e and 5b7dab2. I'm not sure why there's an old file in the latest installation. A solution to this situation may be completely uninstalling youtube-dl and install again. Replacing a single file may work but not recommended as it causes inconsistency. If you're still going to do that, replace the file, delete all __pycache__ folders and *.pyc files, and youtube-dl will use the new version.

[jaan143]

plz if you have skype then contact me
skype: john.john4747
then you can come to my pc via teamviewer and check actual problem

[yan12125]

I can't use skype as of now.

Well, could you try youtube-dl.exe downloaded from http://youtube-dl.org/downloads/2015.10.13/youtube-dl.exe? I think it would be more stable.

[jaan143]
