You are right, I cannot login even with the given username and
password. Maybe there's geo restriction. I think you'll have to wait for
others to help.

… Alright, I created a Facebook account and short videos for testing.
try
youtube-dl.exe https://www.facebook.com/100033620354545/videos/106559927141352/
--username ***@***.***" --password "SuperSecretPassword123"
youtube-dl.exe https://www.facebook.com/100033620354545/videos/106560053808006/
--username ***@***.***" --password "SuperSecretPassword123"
The name of the group is "Pokus group".
First video shows a mouse, the second shows a mug (but you can download just the mouse
video)
You can use these credentials to log into Facebook to check this, however Facebook security
might be a hassle (suspicious activity based on geographical location or something, I don't
know)

You really shouldn't use someone else's Fb acc even if you could login to it cuz Fb has systems in place which will detect an anomaly in the login habits (geo change from country to another, geo change within the country over a long distance, even mere failed attempts to login), which either immediately or later results in the acc getting flagged for security check. If/when Fb has gotten wise, you won't even get outta the check without a consequence or even a ban. Same for some other sites. In short, don't try it. |

Try it with your facebook account, it should work - I've made the test group public and facebook seems to require just any login for this, so just fill in your credentials. |

Not sure if it helps but with chrome developer tools I've found that when I'm on the page with the post the div containing these two videos looks like this: Search for "href" and you'll get the video urls. In xml viewer this div looks weird - like it isn't properly enclosed. And even with the second video in the foreground you'll get this kind of div with two links. So maybe youtube-dl always matches just the first link when doing its pattern matching (or something like that, I have no idea how it works) |

Thanks for the advice, but I do all my youtube-dl testings through tor,
so I should be fine. Also, other tor users can login using the onion
link, so my youtube-dl testings shouldn't cause trouble to them.
