Description of your issue, suggested solution and other information

I can't download this video even after authenticating with username and password. I think the issue is that this Facebook video may contain graphic content? When viewing in a browser (and after login), Facebook warns "This video may show violent or graphic content" and requires the user to click a button to "Uncover Video" before it will play. I don't have any issues downloading Facebook videos that don't have this warning.
