Thanks is working now perfect
Awesome
sometimes it says This video is locked, you probably need a premium account
That happens when you don't have a premium account and you are trying to download a paid course
am using library card to access
Linkedin has added a security layer where while using library card, they hide download links in their API.
thanks for wonderfull tool i will pay for premium account and download everything i need to study
You are welcome. you can even use a free trial account :)
thanks
I have the same issue, I can access the full courses online on the browser (my linkedin account is linked to my corporate learning account). It downloads some videos but not all from the course.
Any solution found @luisguilherme ?

You are getting this error because you are using the wrong slug for the course
Instead of using
what-is-php-for-wordpressyou should usephp-for-wordpress.It is advised to navigate to a course you are trying to download, then copy the slug from there instead of the course name
I am guessing this the course you were trying to download (linkedin.com/learning/php-for-word...
)
Make sure you also update to the latest version 2.2.6 with better error handling
Thanks for using the tool 😊
Working!!! On Windows.
For dummies like me
Ex:
cd "C:\Users\Share Full Vn.DESKTOP-K6RVJFF\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python39\Scripts"
// My Python ver is 3.9
3 - Type "pip install llvd" in CMD and wait
4 - Create a txt file with the exact name "cookies.txt" as above instruction
5 - Put that txt file in the folder "Scripts" above
6 - Type your custom code and hit Enter to download
EX:
If I want download this course: engineering-drawings-for-manufacturing
My code:
llvd -c "engineering-drawings-for-manufacturing" -r 720 --cookies
-c: name of the of the course with slug
-r 720: Videp 720p
-ca: Download the course with subtitles
--cookies: use cookies in "cookies.txt" to allow authentication to get the video download link of the course
The course will save in folder "Scripts" above
I Tried Following the above steps by it asks me my LinkedIn Learning Creds and my account is not a premium one. However, i have a Student Library card with which i'm logged in but don't have the Email account for that, How can i download in that case ?
You could login with your library card in the browser then grab the cookies and use that with llvd..
Follow these instructions github.com/knowbee/llvd#cookie-bas...
I did this , but did not see your comment before doing it. could have saved so much time atleast 40 mins :)
Good Morning!
Firstly, thanks for the program, your time, your efforts:
Very helpful tool :)
I’ve encountered issues concerning video quality resolutions. By default it’s 720p, but using, for example, this following link:
linkedin.com/learning/advanced-dru...
…the results are a mix of 540p and 720p, though all 540p still have their corresponding 720p versions available; I can even download them from the “Internet Download Manager” button through its browser extension.
I’ve also tried with another downloader… Same results!
Any ideas on how to fix it ?
Thanks ;)
guys maybe am doing something wrong
C:\Users\user1\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python38-32\Scripts>llvd -c "cisco-C:\Users\user1\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python38-32\Scripts>llvd -c "cisco-certified-cyberops-associate-cert-prep-1" -r 720 --cookies
Using cookie info from cookies.txt
Your cookie is expired
It worked. i tried both password and cookie method. both worked. Mostly you are using an expired cookie or a wrong jsession id
I tried it and it worked. I don't have a premium linkedin account. I was able to download the 24 hours free course I'm learning. Thank youuu!!!
You can use a library card (eCard).
What is that?
Glad the tool was helpful
This was working fine for me, but all of the sudden when I put in the course it asks me for my email and I can enter that fine. Then it tells me to put in my password and I try to type it in but whenever I press any keys, nothing shows up on the screen and im unable to enter my password. Any thoughts? I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling and that didn't work.
Brilliant! Thanks.
I appreciate your effort and thoughtfulness for building this amazing tool.
I did install the library tool and followed the instructions above to the best of my knowledge. However, I have something like this text below but I just can't input my password to proceed the download.
Enter your Linkedin Password:
Although, I could enter my LinkedIn email address. Mind you, I have a trial account on LinkedIn learning.
How do I proceed from here?
Thanks so much.
Would i be able to download multiple parallel courses at the same time by opening multiple CMD.
Yes
Hi,
I followed all steps but stuck at $ llvd --help (not work) and don't know where to put cookies.txt on Mac Os Big Sur, I'm new with mac os.
On Windows, everything worked fined except slow speed than real internet speed.
And btw, is there any command that help download only subtitle or only exercise file, all file are decent fast but exercise is too slow.
Thanks, you helped me study a lots!
There is a a command for downloading subtitles, you just pass in the flag
--subtitlesYour script is very helpful and it worked like a charm so far. Thank you! But recently something happened, perhaps on provider side, and I can’t download entire course anymore. The process interrupts, throwing the error, and tries to download again and enters to looping cycle as I understand. In result downloading ends with the errors and the contents is incomplete. What is the problem?
Error below:

Absolutely nice work!
Using Firefox on Windows so i needed an extension to get the values of li_at and JSESSIONID.
Created cookies.txt and placed it.
Started llvd with --cookies.
Folder is created. Download starts. Everything works - except the language is not correct. They are all downloaded in chinese (I suppose)
Experimentally I added two additional entries in cookies.txt:
lil-lang=de_DE
lang="v=2&lang=de-de"
which are the actual Cookies-values.
Still Chinese-language.
What am I missing?
Works like a charm
What's the correct path for the cookies.txt file on MacOSX (where should it be put)? I keep getting "cookies.txt is not found or empty" error. Thanks!
Awesome!
For some reason i get this error "That course is not found" regardless of which video i try to download. Earlier it worked but now it does not.
This helped a lot. Just that i had a bad installation of pythons , so took some time to sort them out for this to work in windows
some pls help am geeting this error msg
Using cookie info from cookies.t
Your cookie is expired
hey there! I'm getting an environment error when trying to install pip3 install llvd
does anyone know what it can be? I'm new :(
sorry, no, I fixed it, but now my terminal says it fails to connect when I input my linkedin credentials. is it a network error?
You could try authenticating with cookies
Showing error after credentials
Hi!!! thank you man.
Its not working with library card. In library card we don't have email address. We only have a 14 digit number.
Any help on this ?
With library card you can use cookie-based authentication...check the documentation
Thanks, it worked !
Bruce it is possible to show us some steps for doing this on a linux mchine (ubuntu or Linux mint)
I got wrong credentials all the time even after changing my password several times😔
thanks :)
You're awesome bro 😎
Enter your Linkedin Password:
Wrong credentials, try again
I am entering correct password
Can anyone confirme that it's still working? (May 2022)
May I set a destination folder different than "Scripts". I don't see any flag that I can use. So, where is it hardcoded? I want to change it.
Hi guys... Is this method still working on Mac?
Thanks. it's so awesome
