Course cut off


#1

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.

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.

@jax200
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.


#6

Same issue. I’m wondering if I’m missing lots of content or just part of a sentence - I don’t know.


#7

Same answer

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.


#11

But you are able to log in?


#12

Yes. I’ve created account yesterday and I can log in without problems.


#13

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 :slight_smile:
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 :slight_smile:
