Downloading Videos for offline Viewing

Hi,

I'm trying to download some tree house videos for offline viewing. I was wondering is there a limit to downloading videos per day or just a general limit? because every time i click the iTunes feed link nothing happens.

Any help would be great.

You can just download the videos from the "Downloads" section below each video. I don't/can't use iTunes, but it seems to me like just downloading the video itself is an easy way to watch them offline.

Hi Marcus,

Thanks for the reply. I was hoping there was an easier way to download the videos. I will just have to settle with individually downloading the videos, until i find a better way.

Sorry, Isaac. I didn't know if you knew there was a download section down there or not. I don't watch them offline myself, so hopefully someone with more experience watching them offline will come along and have some input on this. Good luck man!

Have the same problem. Clicking "iTunes feed" and redirect to iTunes home page, not to the videos. Now I chat with customer support. Recommendations were: 1) to log in, 2)new version of iTunes. I've done it, but still same problem. Waiting for response with solution. I find downloading each video from a lesson pretty boring. When I will find a solution I'll let you know.

For me problem solved! I thought that after clicking "iTunes feed" I will be redirect to Podcasts with videos from the course, but I haven't checked my personal Podcasts:) All streams are there. I have latest version of iTunes and signed in - everything works!

Hi Wladimir,

I'm so glad this worked for you but sadly I have just tried this and still no luck. Yesterday I was able to download about 7 videos courses and nothing after that. I click the link in chrome and I get no reaction but if i open it with firefox I can an option for how i would like to open this link and I have selected itunes which opens it but doesn't download anything.

I thought it might be because I didn't have an apple id. But I have just created one and still the same result. Anyone else got any ideas?

Thanks

Hi Isaac,

If you have an id and new version of iTunes everything should be ok. You will be not redirect to videos directly. After clicking "iTunes feed" - iTunes will open on the home page. Then go to your Podcasts and there will be the topic that you wanted to download. Click right button on your mouse and there will be function to save this podcast. After downloading you can go to iTunes folder on your PC (chose iTunes Media > Podcasts) and you will be able to see all video files from the course. I find just one problem with ordering if I want to see videos without iTunes, just with my video player. But if it's comfortable for you watching in iTunes - no problem with order, everything goes step by step. Hope it will help you. If no - contact customer service, they respond very fast.
