still not playable for me. is the video a private video ?? |

There's a "Copy link" (Firefox of Ubuntu) which gives:
https://www.facebook.com/510785083/videos/10164224184305084/
it's not private AFAIK, but I am friends with the person who posted it.
I tried youtube_dl with the URL above, still the same error.

if you can play the video click the 3 dots ... in the upper right hand
corner of the video and see if there's an option to download/copy the
URL of the video.
