Credential cookies error fail in facebook

[trimechee]

Hello, I tried 2 days ago to download this video from facebook

https://www.facebook.com/watch/live/?ref=watch_permalink&v=271439382228228

and I even added the preset " --cookies-from-browser " because the error message tells me to add this option but I cannot download this Facebook video of a recorded live, the message from Media-downloader from two days ago told me to enter my credential username password cookies.... I even tried to download with online download websites but it's the same thing, I couldn't download this video.....

I am now trying to download again because it may be a temporary bug but I have this new error error message :

" [media-downloader] cmd: "C:/Users/Asus/AppData/Roaming/media-downloader/bin/yt-dlp.exe" "--match-filter" "!playlist" "--break-on- reject" "--downloader" "aria2c" "--ignore-config" "--no-playlist" "-o" "%(title).200s-%(id)s.%(ext)s" "- -newline" "--output-na-placeholder" "NA" "-f" "worstaudio" "-x" "--compat-options" "2022" "https://www.facebook.com/watch/live /?ref=watch_permalink&v=271439382228228" [facebook] Extracting URL: https://www.facebook.com/watch/live/?ref=watch_permalink&v=271439382228228 [facebook] 271439382228228: Downloading webpage [facebook] 271439382228228: Downloading webpage ERROR: [facebook] 271439382228228: Cannot parse data; please report this issue on https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp/issues?q=, filling out the appropriate issue template.

The link gives me an error saying the content is not available. The error message says the following

This content isn't available right now
When this happens, it's usually because the owner only shared it with
a small group of people, changed who can see it or it's been deleted.

Ahh, I was able to watch this Facebook video but I was not able to download it.....perhaps the video is geoblocked....it's a radio intended for tunisians in france, perhaps the content is only available in France and Tunisia using the Psiphon vpn.... in any case thank you for your help :) the message from Media-Downloader tells me to report this problem to yt-dlp.....so maybe there is a bug....I will try to close the browser when I use the option --cookies-from-browser...

What web browser are you using?

Add option "--cookies-from-browser ABC" where "ABC" is a browser name you are using and is logged in to facebook.

If you are using chrome web browser then close it first before trying.

Also, make sure you are using the latest version of yt-dlp.
