When attempting to download a Facebook video that is non-Public and using the
--cookies-from-browser
command, yt-dlp will throw an error. This issue appeared while I was attempting to figure out a warning I was receiving; it didn't seem to affect the video download, but it kept coming up. I ended up clearing my cookies from Facebook entirely and logging in again, and that's when I started receiving these errors. I can verify that the URL itself works in my browser as well as playing the video itself. Changing my Enhanced Tracking Protection settings, globally or otherwise, does not seem to fix the issue, nor does restarting my browser. I have tried using both of these commands,--cookies-from-browser firefox
and--cookies cookies.txt
, which seem to have varying results. The first command doesn't appear to work with either URL format, even if I specify the profile I want to use. The second command initially didn't work until I tried another video, and additionally doesn't work withmbasic
URLS. I have tried multiple videos as well as multiple URL formats, and alternating commands.Provide verbose output that clearly demonstrates the problem
