HTML5 Video Tag Download As Name

Question

I am using an html5 video tag where the src is a data uri:

<video controls>
   <source type="video/mp4" src="data:video/mp4;base64,{data} />
<video>

which Chrome renders with controls: However if I click the download button on the right, the file downloads as download.mp4. Is there anyway to control that filename?

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/283956/is-there-any-way-to-specify-a-suggested-filename-when-using-data-uri may be useful. You'd have to roll your own download button using the `` tag, which has a `download` attribute. — trlkly, Jan 27 '17 at 01:20
You can do it server-side: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/3102226/how-to-set-name-of-file-downloaded-from-browser — Sarah Trees, May 13 '19 at 06:43

In the src attribute just type the name that you want to display while downloading the video. The same name will be displayed while downloading.

<video width="320" height="240" controls>
<source src="movie.mp4" type="video/mp4">
</video

In this example, the name of the file to be downloaded will be movie.mp4

the OP uses inline file as a video so he cannot set the name in the src attribute – ᴄʀᴏᴢᴇᴛ Jan 19 '17 at 16:33
