Yt-dlp also appears to support downloading videos from Facebook.

Yeah. The Facebook official method does not download photos or videos you are tagged in. They only allow you to download things you uploaded. So if you are like me and didn’t upload any photos but were tagged by others it downloads nothing.
What is this yt-dlp? I have seen it mentioned without any links or information about how to use it. Quick searches shows it as some kind of CLI?

yt-dlp is a CLI program for downloading videos from an absurd number of sites. Originally created for backing up Youtube videos, but has expanded to cover thousands of sites over the years.

Good to know. I should have tried to get that running. If I had more videos I would have needed it
