Description of your issue, suggested solution and other information

When trying to download a private video on Facebook, even if the authentication is successful, youtube-dl will raise a Cannot Parse data error.

This is because the call to Facebook is not the same for private and logged in users.

it's not even the same issue, and it works both with and without an account, most likely your not using git version or there is a problem with the cookies.
