[yan12125]

http://eclassesbyravindra.com/mod/page/view.php?id=267

Try this url it works,
It can be accessed by guest login and it does get downloaded..
This website use vimeo as player..

[yan12125]

http://eclassesbyravindra.com/mod/page/view.php?id=267 can be viewed without an account while http://eclassesbyravindra.com/enrol/index.php?id=24/ not. For the latter case, I guess with --cookies, youtube-dl can read the web page as if it's logged in, and the embedded video can be extracted.

cookies.txt

[yan12125]

There are no useful information for eclassesbyravindra.com in cookies.txt. Maybe they don't use cookies.

How about this and cookies file is here

cookies.txt

Please help!!!

[yan12125]

I guess you mean http://eclassesbyravindra.com/mod/page/view.php?id=76? With this cookies.txt the link still redirects to a page asking logging in ("You are currently using guest access Log in"). The cookies approach seems dead.

[cpmydream]

Yes,
Cookies do not work!!

[yan12125]

If you trust me, you can drop me a mail with your password.

[yan12125]

A workaround from #10541:

youtube-dl -v <vimeo player URL> --referer http://eclassesbyravindra.com/

[yan12125]

Others will discuss about the workaround even if I keep silent. What youtube-dl tries to do is simple - download videos that can be viewed in browsers. If you found it broken again, please come back and report the incident.

[yan12125]

Still working for me. Did you upgrade SSL-related softwares recently?

[yan12125]

First try:

openssl s_client -connect player.vimeo.com:443

And see if that succeeds

[yan12125]

Could you paste the whole log? openssl tolerates lots of errors that are crucial to Python. And please also paste the output of openssl version and python -c 'import ssl; print(ssl.OPENSSL_VERSION)'

[yan12125]

Hmm it tries to connect to kolsvrmo.softether.net instead of player.vimeo.com. Something is wrong?

[vaibhav101]

@vivekm7 If you need to do it for just one or two videos, you can view the source of the web page, Ctrl+F for "player.vimeo.com" and get the video ID from there. If you need to do it for a lot of videos, making a small script which parses pages may be a much better idea.

[vaibhav101]

@palashcode But this would basically crawl the whole website, not a particular category of videos, right?
