How To Download Videos From Pluralsight

Heyo Mr Scissors, I managed to successfully download a course—don’t know if you’re still having this problem? If you still have it, in youtube-dl - - username “email” is the current email you’re using for the pluralsight account, and - - password “password” is the pluralsight account’s password.

As a premium member you can download course video files from Lynda.com. I have downloaded files for the courses that I have completed. The files in reside in the respective folder and have a .Lynda extension. These files open only through Lynda Desktop App. I tried opening them using VLC but they don't. Is there any way to convert these files?

Annual Plus subscribers had to manually download course videos from the 'Downloads' tab (on each course page) and then figure out how to get them onto their mobile devices.

Currently, the answer's Yes!

There's a fairly new GitHub repository that provides a tool for the decryption of such files. The files themselves are AES-encrypted (which is decrypted using the Rijndael decryption module) - so it isn't really surprising that VLC can't open them..

These are the available options for the tool:

For example (using some common setting for Windows):

I think the common media players and converters may not process the specific file with .Lynda extension. The only method comes in my mind is to use a video recorder freeware like Camstudio to record the live stream on Lynda and then you can convert the recorded videos.

Hi there! Great work and thank you youtube-dl developer. May I ask, Can I download video from pluralsight with subtitle ?

I able to grab video via playlist:
$ youtube-dl --username user@email.com --password password --list-subs 'https://app.pluralsight.com/library/courses/play-by-play-laravel-5-getting-started'

It tried with --embed-subsand --write-sub parameter but no subtitle was found.

commented Jun 5, 2016

commented Jun 5, 2016

commented Jun 23, 2016

Hope someone here found this helpful.
I use this snippet to extract srt content.

Where o is the caption key in json file.
subtitleAsSRT contains the srt content.

@jmvtrinidad, thank you for the nice and useful snippet.

I would like to note that original snipped contains a small typo (there should be 'time(o[nextIndex ].displayTimeOffset * 1000)' instead of 'time(o[nextIndex ].time * 1000)').

Please find updated code here

@HossamEldinMahmoud

OK bro.
Go and download youtube-dl.exe
Now use CMD and go to a folder that contains youtube-dl.exe file.
Just Copy one of the below lines in CMD!

• If you want to download video+subtitle, use this code and replace XXXX with your video's URL :

youtube-dl --username Username --password password all-subs 'XXXX'

• If you want to download subtitles only, use this code and replace XXXX with your video's URL :

youtube-dl --username Username --password password all-subs 'XXXX' --skip-download

Note : In both condition, you must enter your pluralsight's Username & Password instead of Bolded words!

Any question? No problem, You have me! Forensic toolkit ftk download torrent. 💃

How To Download Pluralsight Videos On Mac

@Rainyroad I did these steps and finally should download it, but I couldn't find the files in the directory

commented Sep 20, 2017

Record Pluralsight Videos

@HossamEldinMahmoud to actually download subs files use --all-subs because --list-subs will only list (show) them in console. --all-subs works with me (v2017.09.15).
