Sometimes I download videos from facebook by copying the URL from browser (into clipboard).
JDownloader monitioring the clipboard recognizes the URL and starts automatically the video download.

This works for approx 90% of all videos.
But in some cases JD shows an error:
"Invalid download directory"

I have not specified a Facebook account in JD.
But if a Facebook is required to download videos why are all remaining 90% of Facebook videos downloaded anyway (without Facebook Login)?

If I visit the problem URLs in Firefox-Browser WITHOUT Facebook-Login then I can view them too. So Facebook Login should not be the reason.

What else?

Here are two sample URLs:

**External links are only visible to Support Staff****External links are only visible to Support Staff**

**External links are only visible to Support Staff****External links are only visible to Support Staff**

See:

Most likely this is happening because of too long filename/path.

Hmm, when I click on your link above I am getting constantly since a week a server error:

"Server Maintenance, Ticket system will be back soon"

When will be the server back from "Maintenance"?

Or is this a wrong link?

Our ticket system & knowledgebase are currently under maintenance.
If this is still the case while you are reading my posts and you can't access help articles linked by our staff, use the Internet archive/wayback machine to be able to view those articles:
archive.org/web/
Enter the URL -> Click on "Browse history" -> Select one of the latest dates available
If the date you selected does not lead you to the support article try the next oldest one.
