Sadly some of the Introductory STL videos are not playing (episodes 3 and 4 and 5 keep crashing on Chrome.
These videos deserve to be preserved! THANKS SO MUCH

I seem to be able to view Intro 3 in Chrome without issues. What happens if you download the MP4 (I was able to find the URL fairly easily by looking at the webpage source) and play it in VLC?

I do not know why I just quickly assumed the content was broken. You are correct I was able to download the content (and all the other episodes which are not playing (ep-3-6) by downloading from the mp4 link. Thanks for these wonderful videos. You have such an obvious enthusiasm which comes through.

You're welcome! 😸

I keep getting error as below for Advanced STL series

@kmoza @jilinzhou I've shared the Advanced STL series from my personal OneDrive and updated the gist. You should be able to download them now.
