How can I save vids with out it being automatic being named videoplayback instead of the vids name

Welcome to Android Central! What are you using to save videos?

 

[thomas tempest]

Hi, I press the video and the text "save video" pops up in order for me to save.I press it and then it starts downloading automatically as videoplayback___ whatever number

 

[B. Diddy]

I mean what app are you using to view and save the videos? Is it a browser, or a dedicated video app?

 

[thomas tempest]

There is no app the exact process occur when I use the stock brower

 

[B. Diddy]

Ok, and what site are you trying to save videos from?

 

[thomas tempest]

Hmm Im consufed at the type of questions youre asking me?Dont you know the process Im speaking of?

 

[B. Diddy]

You've clarified that you're trying to save videos from a website using your mobile browser. What I'm trying to find out now is the type of video that you're trying to save. Is it a streaming video (like YouTube or Vimeo)? Is it a video file that's saved on a site (like an FTP site)? The more information we have, the more we can try to help you figure it out. At the least, I can try to duplicate what you're trying to do to see if I get the same result.

youtube is the site but I believe its the same for all other video sites which allow downloads

 

[B. Diddy]

The YouTube website doesn't allow you to download videos, from what I understand. That's part of the Terms of Service, and is also why apps that let the user download YouTube videos are not allowed on the Google Play Store. If you're using one of these apps to download videos, then it's probably an issue with that app, and you should ask the developer.

 

[thomas tempest]

Hmm Im pretty surprised you still dont know what Im taking of if you used the latest samsung smartphones you would know there is a built in feature that allows one to save most videos from most sites by simply pressing the screen while a video is shown

 

[B. Diddy]

I use Nexus devices. I just try to help where I can, and try to point people in the right direction. My wife has a Note5, so I can try test it out there when I get a chance, but I currently can't do that. I do know that downloading a video from YouTube violates their terms of service, so I doubt that Samsung would bypass this somehow.

Good luck finding your answer.

Well I've got an iPhone in me hand at the moment and it never allowed me to download a video from YouTube.

 

[thomas tempest]

Dont mean to be rude by why are you here as in what was the point of your post

 

[thomas tempest]

Not talking about only youtube vids that can be downloaded

 

[Dooki]

For YouTube, when in browser, delete all the http and www. And type ssyoutube.com, ie: ssyoutube.com/xxxxxxxx. But when in the Samsung browser there is no way to change the name.

It depends on what site you are downloading from, and what app you are using to download it.. For example, I usually download anime from kissanime.to using Chrome. Downloading files from there needs me to long press the download link and select save link. This downloads the video and is named as videoplayback.

I do not know of any way to get around this as it appears there is no option to 'save link as' on any Android browser I've seen that pertains to videos. You could probably try using a dedicated video downloader app.

 

[thomas tempest]

what brower

 

[chanchan05]

Not sure what you mean by asking what browser.

My advice was to use a video downloader app.

You can try this one:

I just tried it and it let me rename my video download.

 

[thomas tempest]

Im was referring to dooki but I dont want to to download anything.Unless that app automatically saves the vid with the name I dont see the use of it cause I could manually do it.
