Hello, I have an issue with the video player for this course. it doesn’t play till the end, it cuts off a few minutes earlier and as a result, I miss the material. One more important thing to note: I registered automatically when I purchased the blue belt, and it is fine but when I tried to go to the forum to open up an issue than it asked me to login again and did not allow the login and password I used for the course. so registered again with same email in order to be able to write you here. please check both Issues.
Course cut off
Could you point to a couple examples where the video cuts off? I know there is one or two but doesn’t have any consequence in the instructions.
I will let Caleb know about your login issue, but seems you are ok for now.

I have the same problem. However, logging out and logging in again, did not solve it.
As an example, I have made a screenshot of the course I am having an issue with. It is the Drone Programming Primer > Ardupilot and SITL introduction > Flight Modules in Ardupilot. It cuts off at 4:34 mid-sentence. The other videos have the same issue.
I hope you have a solution for me.
@system or @jax200 any update on this? or is the video supposed to be cut off mid-sentence or mid-word?
I looked at that one and he just clipped it a second too early, but no big deal. I think you get the idea to click on a link to get more information on a flight mode.
I know there are a few others like that and in one case there is a loss of audio for quite awhile, but at no time did it stop me from understanding the content and finishing the course when I first followed it.
I know it’s not perfect : ( but most of the videos are fine.
Feel free to list any others where you think you missed out on content and maybe I can help.
Same issue. I’m wondering if I’m missing lots of content or just part of a sentence - I don’t know.
I just started watching the primer and I already have two videos ending in a middle of a sentence:
- full-drone-system-overview
- drone-basics-and-flight-jargon
And on https://dojofordrones.com/topic/important-software-version-information/ there’s no video at all - I can see a “DPP_VERSIONS.mp4” link which points to https://cdn.fs.teachablecdn.com/jgjvcXAhQRu48xgnS3RE which gives me a “cannot fetch file: 403 Forbidden” error.
It doesn’t look professional guys…
I confirmed this problem as well and have sent a message to Caleb.
You are referring to the Programming course? I cannot even log in right now to check the videos.
I’ll post if I hear anything.
Thanks for the answer. Yes, I’m doing the “Drone Programming Primer” course and in fact most of the videos end “unexpectedly”. I suppose (hope) there’s nothing crucial cut off.
I looked at the videos you cited and like I mentioned earlier in this thread regarding another video, there isn’t anything of significance that you are missing when the video was cut short by a second or two. I also see the link to teachable that was inadvertently pasted. Teachable is used for instructors, so I think it was just misplaced. So overall not to worry and if you have any content questions such as programming do not hesitate to ask!
Thanks
Generally the course informational content is great but the technical quality and ease of consuming it could be much better, even with a few easy moves like adding commands shown on video as copyable text below the video and so on.
But again - so far I’m quite happy with it
