facebook problem with file ID

[afsharsafavi]

Hello
There is a problem when I want to download from facebook with youtube-dl
I checked it with latest version.
When I add -o or -A or --id flags (one of them), each time I get different and irrelevant file with different file size!
This is an example link:
https://www.facebook.com/LADbible/videos/2749323991781440/
It download main video only when I use none of that flags!
Otherwise it download irrelevant files!
I faced this problem with many of videos!
Best Regards

Hi,

We have a similar issue : each time we want to download a facebook video, we get another one.
Is this issue currently investigated ?

Our command line:
youtube-dl -4 -o /var/tmp/testdebug.mp4 -f "mp4/best[height <=? 720]" "https://www.facebook.com/lacinephile/videos/758765960927544/"

Thanks for your help !

Regards,
Olivier

Hello,

I have the same issue, when trying to download any video from https://www.facebook.com/ZeitimBild/ I get a random video of theirs instead. I have to try a couple of times to get the correct video.

Hope this will be fixed soon.

[dehylton]

i also see the random video issue. download, delete, download, delete, download - 3 completely different videos.

[Neney22]

i am also having the same problem anybody came up with a solution yet? It keeps pulling random videos from one link.
