this is not the case, the problem as i mention above the error accrued only when course flaged as locked, which mean you dont have access to it

any update?

Answer 12 · 2019-05-08T19:34:18.000Z

I was running into this issue as well. Turns out that if a video doesn't have a valid subtitle file, Lynda returns invalid JSON which causes lynda-dl to fail. Try executing with the --skip-sub option. Also, I have a PR that fixed the issue (for me).

@controversy187 what does PR mean?

Answer 14 · 2019-05-09T13:19:42.000Z

Pull Request. I wrote a patch for this code and have requested that it be merged into the main project. In the meantime, have you tried downloading with the --skip-sub option? I didn't test that, but I think that would have fixed the issue (in my case), as I don't need the subs.

Answer 15 · 2019-05-11T07:41:43.000Z

@controversy187 I tried with the --skip-sub option but didn't fixed the issue.

Answer 16 · 2019-05-25T08:21:08.000Z

@AntiGov the error could be resolved by providing the new cookies, the session gets expired which leads to this error, so if you refresh your session in browser and provide the cookie again it will work fine.

Answer 17 · 2020-03-21T19:47:44.000Z

I'm logging in with organization portal. No cookies involved in it. Still getting this error.
