Glitch in Program - download videos

#1

Post by mylescjones »

I serve as a Stake Trainer for learning how to use the Family History Programs.
When you go to lds.org and then go to "Resources", then under "Family" go to "Family History" , now click on "Getting Started" it say's " discover your family tree and learn how to prepare a name for the temple in five easy steps". When you do get to the "Five Easy Steps and select one of the steps you can watch the video. Great ! At the bottom of the Video it gives you the oppertunity to "Download" the video which is a great tool to show in classes. However, this works for only the first 3 steps. You cannot dowmload steps 4 & 5. You get a message that this page cannot be found. Can this be corrected so these 2 videos can also be downloaded like the first 3. I hope you can fix this... Thanks !

The links for the downloads on steps 4 and 5 are indeed incorrect. I'll submit a request to get them fixed, but in the meantime, I did figure out a link for step 4 that allows you to download that video:
I wasn't able to figure out what the correct URL for step 5 would be.

I tested this and duplicated the problem. Running Firebug I got this error: "NetworkError: 404 Not Found - http://broadcast2.lds.org/family-histor ... nload=true" for the step 4 video and "NetworkError: 404 Not Found - http://broadcast2.lds.org/family-histor ... nload=true" for the step 5 video. This has been reported to the developers.

Edit: Looks like aebrown beat me to it while I was investigating.

The media library has MANY videos in this category, I've submitted feedback on several occasions without any response, or anyone fixing them. I've downloaded everything I could to include on my new clerk computer image, and a couple of sections have links that are just wrong (note, I'm not referring to videos that are not downloadable for any number of reasons).

This has been corrected; each of the 5 videos can be downloaded now.
