Video mp4 download about moodle-dl

The same feature request already exists: #12

The problem is that these links are all external links and there is no perfect way to download them.
The idea would be to collect a list of external links, categorize them and then download them with third party tools like youtube-dl or jdownloader.
But there is no way to determine if it is a video, document or anything else.

I am referring to internal links. I managed to make a spartan patch (all links are transformed into mp4)

Can you send a screenshot and the source code from the Moodle site where the mp4 is not downloaded. Normally all files stored on moodle will be downloaded.

For example, don't download "prima parte.mp4" but "prima parte.desktop"

This is the source code of the page

Thank you :) I have looked at the source code.
That's exactly what Issue #12 is about. The mp4 file was not uploaded directly to moodle but only given as URL. You can see that by right clicking on the link and then clicking "open in a new tab". So far i don't have a good solution for this problem. I could follow the link and just download the file. But behind the link could be a website.
Maybe you have an idea.

I could let the user define which links should be downloaded automatically with which program. For example, if the link links to a youtube video that is then downloaded using youtube-dl.

Maybe you have an idea.

I used this method which only worked for the course in question. Instead of creating a link, I created an mp4 file. It works because in the link there is only one video file, if there are more than one it doesn't work.

In my case, however, the video is in an external link but is visible from moodle

I think this is implemented by the way by now.
