Hi, thank you for coursera-dl & edx-dl! 🎉 I can verify errors when trying to download a course.

--list-courses is working fine for me as well, and my environment is similar to that of @anonymous008.

same problem

[ahmad-aboelnasr]

Same problem.

[taluk48]

i tried what is written on this page #649

the comments of the user @RJFeddeler helped. edx-dl is downloading only videos for now. but sometimes giving error "no downloadable video found." when i get this error i run script code over and over again. it worked after a few tries.
