New issue

I don't understand why, when saving a video the download is called Download.htm instead of Download.mp4

Your environment

Please answer these questions when reporting a new issue:

What is your operating system (Windows, Linux, OSX, etc.)?

Well, this happens wherever I do it/ on whatever machine, but I've most recently test using Android 8.1.0 and Ubuntu 20.04

What is your web server (Apache, IIS, etc.)?

Not sure actually, but I think perhaps Nginx. I'm using my install at https://download.uniteddiversity.coop/ which is powered by https://cloudron.io/

What version of AllTube are you using?

2.3.0

How did you install AllTube (with Git or with a release package)?

I installed the Cloudron package (which is based on Docker)

What version of PHP are you using?

Not sure. I guess whatever the default in Ubuntu 18.04 is.

What version of Python are you using?

Not sure. I guess whatever the default in Ubuntu 18.04 is.

What version of youtube-dl are you using?

Whatever AllTube 2.3.0 uses

Do you get any PHP-related errors in your webserver's logs?

Haven't looked.

What is the content of your config/config.yml file?

Where do I find that?

# Insert content here.

Please provide the URL of a video that causes the issue.

Every single video I've ever tried, e.g. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9cGh8oeA724&feature=youtu.be

Describe your issue

On Ubuntu 20.04 with Firefox 76.0.1

  1. I paste the video URL into the box on https://download.uniteddiversity.coop/ and hit the Download button

  2. I think click the Download button

  3. The source video opens in my browser (instead of actually downloading as one might expect after clicking a 'Download' button)

  4. I right-click Save Video As... and automatically the name is download.htm instead of .mp4. On Ubuntu I can choose at this point to rename the file before the download actually begins. On Android I get no such choice and the file just automatically downloads using the default download.htm name.

By default, AllTube only redirects you to the video file, so its name and wether you get a download prompt or not depends on what response the server hosting the video returns. It you want AllTube to rename the file and force a download prompt, you have to enable the "Stream the video through the server" option.

Thanks @Rudloff "Stream the video through the server" could perhaps be better/ more clearly worded, but yes checking that box does indeed result in the behaviour I want. Is there are way to configure it to auto-check that box so I don't have to manually select it each time? Thanks!

Rudloff commented 4 years ago

I just noticed there was a bug in how #255 was implemented. Cloudron seems to use stream: true (cf. here) so the checkbox should be checked by default. This will be fixed in the next release.

Great, thanks for the update. I look forward to the next release :)
