I guess that most browsers prefer to show the video, as far as I know there is no way to force them to download.

If you are interested only in downloading the video you can just use youtube-dl or pass the url to some downloader (wget, curl, aria2 ...).

Mmmm. . . thank you so much but i think threre is away for this but i dont know how
if you check this website http://en.savefrom.net/
and get there link it will be download immediately without passing

Try to compare the urls from youtube-dl and from that site and see their differences, that may allow you to fore it to download. If you find how to do it and want to it to be implemented in youtube-dl feel free to share it.

Actually, they just add &title=youtube-dl+test+video+%27%27--%C3%A4%E2%86%AD%F0%9D%95%90(for https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RbtPXFlZlHg), which also works with youtube-dl links

I am trying to do the same thing but I am not able to download the file. I am using the django, youtube-dl to download a video. I am getting the video link
https://r2---sn-ci5gup-h55e.googlevideo.com/videoplayback?mt=1466074772&dur=0.000&mv=m&initcwndbps=78750&ms=au&itag=43&sparams=dur%..... and concatenate the &title = "filename" but when I pass this to view template inside the link it still download the videoplayback file instead of the video file. while on the other hand when I hardcoded the link + &title = "file name" to the tag it download the file. Please, check my code below:

def downloadfile(request):
options = {
'outtmpl': '%(title)s-%(id)s.%(ext)s',
'format': 'best'
} 
with youtube_dl.YoutubeDL(options) as ydl:
    r = ydl.extract_info(request.POST['videourl'], download=False)
    videoUrl = r['url']
    fileName = ''.join(random.choice('abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz') for i in range(8))
    finalLink = videoUrl + "&" + fileName 
context = {"videoUrl":videoUrl, "filename":name, "finalLink":finalLink}
return render(request, 'videodownloader/downloadfile.html', context)

Template file code:

<a href="{{finalLink}}" download="something">Download Video</a>

link download the videoplayback file. Please help
