For example, this invidious instance offers a download option for a YoutTube video, as that instance does for all YT videos:
https://invidious.fdn.fr/watch?v=lU4vv7qCQvg
Exceptionally, if you opt to download it it merely opens a player to watch realtime. While other downloads from the same invidious instance have no issues. Why is this one getting different treatment?
Thanks for pointing that out. It works for me too. I just happened to select a different instance where it actually works. Here’s the instance where it’s broken:
https://iv.ggtyler.dev/watch?v=lU4vv7qCQvg
Try right clicking and “save as”? On mobile Safari it pops up with view and download as options.
Still downloading the file for me.
Edit: Tried it in chromium out of curiousity and I was able to reproduce your issue. Not sure why it works normally in firefox.
