###replace as follows in /edx_dl/parsing.py:

Line 385:
subsections_soup = section_soup.find_all('li', class_='vertical outline-item focusable') with subsections_soup = section_soup.find_all('li', class_=['vertical outline-item focusable', 'vertical outline-item focusable scored'])

and line 397:

sections_soup = soup.find_all('li', class_='outline-item section') with sections_soup = soup.find_all('li', class_=['outline-item section', 'outline-item section scored'])

This should work for both the 'old' and new format. Will try to run some tests and create a merge request sometime this week.

@ribvl edx-dl is based on youtube-dl, but edx videos are no longer on YouTube, but on their own server

Well true that the files are now on the edx server. But then the code should still show downloadable sections and courses but fail when downloading. I think there must have been some changes in the html again.

Will try and have a look. the downloading of the files should actually be even easier: extract the link from html and then use wget/curl to download the video file directly..

Maybe it's because they changed the url from https://courses.edx.org/courses/course-v1:GTx+ISYE6501x+1T2021/course/ to https://learning.edx.org/course/course-v1:MITx+7.00x+1T2021/home

Hi,

You can try this project: https://github.com/rehmatworks/edx-downloader.

This project seems not maintained

Does anyone here have archived the course "Site Planning Online" and would care to share?
