If there are any dashes in the course name then the downloading process results in "file not found"

Failing to download some videos e.g.:

• https://www.safaribooksonline.com/library/view/software-architecture-fundamentals/9781491998991/video317064.html
• https://www.safaribooksonline.com/library/view/software-architecture-fundamentals/9781491998991/video316999.html

I am not sure about the cause but it fails to download longer videos.

When I click the "click to download" button, I get an empty file and the "failed - no file" message

I have noticed that extension doesn't work for video files uploaded in 2018, for example:
https://www.safaribooksonline.com/library/view/apache-kafka-fundamentals/9780134833682/

I think the now Safaribookonline updated it is redirecting

https://www.safaribooksonline.com/library/view/javascript-design-patterns/9781785888014/

earlier we are able to download from this page and it is redirect
to

https://www.safaribooksonline.com/videos/javascript-design-patterns/9781785888014

Hi, thanks for this superb addon.

One question: is there any possibility to change the quality of videos being downloaded? I have a learning path of ~100 videos, 300-500 MB each. Downloading entire path is doable but quite painful. Is there any parameter I can change?

Thanks!

The new website has replace the top most element of toc from using id container to `toc'

The download icons disappear after v1.6 even I enabled "Load unsafe script". Did I miss something?

Hi,

Love the extension, however it seems that movies are not downloaded in right order.

e.g
Table of Contents
Welcome to class! ( doesn't have the icon to download the video)
Getting Started
hello world (has icon to download) however when downloading this video it actually downloads Welcome to class! video. Video after hello world will actually download hello world rather then it self and so on.

I hope that makes sense.

I have installed SBO video extension (and already retry to uninstall and install again),
but the download menu still now shown.

previously I can use this extension while still have to access unsecured URL.

one of my sample URL is
sbo/library/view/introduction-to-django/9781771375375/

any idea how to debug, or get to know further to check why the download menu is not show up?

thank you.

Hi, i m trying to download some videos, eventhough video is just 5 min duration, its downloading file with size of newrly 1 GB. can you fix it please. Its happening for many videos.

please see this link to reproduce the issue
https://www.safaribooksonline.com/library/view/java-reflection/9780133038118/

Never mind. It started working.

On the course at https://www.safaribooksonline.com/library/view/css-flexbox/100000006A0444/, icons do not appear for the last 7 videos.

Thank you for providing the plugin, it has been very useful for the courses it works with.

Looks like it is downloading with high resolution. Each video is taking lot of time to download as size of each video is very big. Can I download video with small size or resolution?

(Copied from The support page of the extension on chrome store)

When we click on the download icon next to each video, we get a message : failed - No file. Tested on chrome.

I don't know if you can do anything about this one, but I recently found some titles that fail to download with the message 'Failed - Forbidden'. The odd thing is that some titles in the course work while others don't. For an example, please see the 2nd, 5th, 6th and 11th videos in https://www.safaribooksonline.com/library/view/modern-software-engineering/9780134665726/

Thanks!

First of all thanks for the awesome extension. I am trying to make it work, followed your tip to load unable scripts but I am unable to see any download video button. Instead I get many "Mixed content" warnings in the developer console.
Just one of the many warning msgs
chrome-extension://ihgjlggckknakenjhgmfgaoalflhfihl/lib/jquery.min.js:4 Mixed Content: The page at 'https://www.safaribooksonline.com/library/view/javascript-video-how-to/9780672337741/part00.html?autoStart=True' was loaded over HTTPS, but requested an insecure XMLHttpRequest endpoint 'http://cdnapi.kaltura.com/html5/html5lib/v2.35/mwEmbedFrame.php?&wid=_19260…onf_id=30379722&flashvars[referenceId]=9780672337741-JAVA_01_01&callback=o'. This content should also be served over HTTPS.

Could you help me in resolving the issue?

I am unable to see the download icons. I checked the console and this is the error that it shows

Seems like other issue where small videos are downloading large amounts of data. 10 minute video over 1 GB of .mp4.
Then of the 4 I downloaded only 1 played out in VLC.

Can you please explaing where the download link is created? I would need this to select what quality to download, as 1920 is too much and maybe some other qualities can be downloaded. I think there are 3 video quality files.

Some topic Video are Extremely Large,make some adjust in video downloading quality.

For Example: https://www.safaribooksonline.com/library/view/english-at-work/9781921909481/
in this tutorial the video download size is nearly 700 mb each.

Some videos do not have download icon while the others have.
Example https://www.safaribooksonline.com/library/view/oreilly-software-architecture/9781492028116/
you get download icon only for keynotes and not for sessions or other videos

Please check this course, since it does not create links for it.

www.safaribooksonline.com/library/view/learning-path-enterprise/9781491964965/

Can you implement a naming rule, to start counting the videos from 001 and start the filenames with that? (it can be taken from the part number when you play the video, the url writes out par number)

This can be helpful for parallel downloading, so they stay in order.

Example:
006-Loops.mp4
007-Dictionaries.mp4

Hi,

First, thanks for building this extension!

I ran into trouble grabbing some videos so took a look at the code. Just wanted to share some recommendations:

1. The bug I hit was due to the hardcoding of "http://" here: https://github.com/mhewedy/SBO-video-extension/blob/master/core/util.js#L35, specifically I was getting security errors since I was accessing the site over https. I'd recommend checking whether the user is on http or https.
2. The code will be cleaner if you put the main file and all the files in core into a single file. The reason why is that each of the files are fairly small, and currently it's hard to find what happens where.
3. The code can also be cleaned up by using promises to handle async (instead of always calling forward).
4. Finally, my last recommendation is to get rid of jquery. Modern have decent apis built in for doing ajax and querying the dom. Here's a guide that maps jquery to the browser equivalent: http://youmightnotneedjquery.com/

I'd be happy to take a pass as some of these suggestions when I have a bit more time.

Greeting! i am a safari subscriber. when i installed this extension in my chrome it worked fine & i loved it, but the next day it didnt show any download buttons. please you have to fix it. i could use other softwares but your's the best i love it.
thank you

Some downloads end with status: "Failed-Forbidden". This happens very often with conferences videos that have several parts (Part 1, Part 2).

Example:

https://www.safaribooksonline.com/library/view/strata-hadoop/9781491944608/

Video: "Build to lead: Solve leadership challenges using the Lego Serious Play methodology - Dieter Reuther, Donna Denio (Team Dynamics Boston)"

Hello Muhammed,

Your extension was a great help in downloading the videos. Thank you very much for it. However, looks like something is broken and we are not able to see the download icon for the videos. Could you please check and help us? Thanks again!

Hi
I last successfully d/l videos about 4 weeks ago and my installed version is 1.7.

I have attached a screenshot to show that I am getting the icons and is a clickable item. But when I click, nothing happens.

For me, the extension doesn't activate. I'm wondering if this might be the issue - I'm always redirected to https instead of http.

No download button shows on this page: https://www.safaribooksonline.com/library/view/velocity-2016-/9781491944653/

Thanks a lot for this amazing plugin :-)

Hey @mhewedy , do you know why only Keynotes are available, but not the rest of the videos here?
https://www.safaribooksonline.com/library/view/oreilly-software-architecture/9781492028116/

Thanks in advance!

This is even after enabling "load unsafe scripts"

Can you please have a look and update what needs to be done

Hi I have accepted to load unsafe script but still not able to download the videos.

Hi,

First of all, thanks a lot for a wonderful extension and it works as expected. But, I would like to know if we can control the download quality as well? It would be a great help if we could control the quality(pixels) of download. Currently, it downloads the video with high quality, but due to internet connectivity, is it possible if we can download the videos in low quality.
Thanks!
