Description

Hello there! I was recently trying to download Facebook videos using youtube-dl as it's the only one I've seen that can grab high quality streams(all the other downloaders only find 360p :( ), however, after learning to use it a bit, I see that attempting to download this video has caused this problem. I'm mainly here since the console told me to report this, and I really need to get on downloading these videos as it's a part of my online class. Any help would be appreciated.

NOTE: I also have a problem with facebook locking my account if I use youtube-dl to download videos. They claim that someone has gotten access to my password. This has forced me to change my password twice already. I am now using --cookies "cookies", if you guys have a better suggestion, please let me know.

I've faced the same problem since last week! Still don't know how to fix this! If you have any solution (or alternative method), please tell me :(

Good, that means it's reproducible i.e. an actual bug.
