Can't get the thumbnails and can't get the video. I think it's because it's M3u8 stream and not MP4/WEBM/normal file.

Probably a recent site change.

Hi @Jazzzon,

Are you still having this issue? I am able to download this and other videos from the XVideos site without any problems using the latest youtube-dl build 2018.03.14.

You are correct about the missing thumbnail - a new PR will be submitted to address this.

Cheers,

Parmjit V.
