Description

Facebook videos are not downloading. I have tried with videos I was able to successfully download on prior dates but seems not be working now. This may be unrelated, but it seems FB is now forcing some videos to be displayed on Facebook Watch, which seems to be a list, rather than theater mode (this is speculative).
