Videos don't save with their titles.

An example of many is this video
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nNlTNE1y9DM

In this video it happens only in the 360p MP4 file. The MP4 videos when I click on the link tell me it's a M4v link with name videoplayback as if it was giving me a wrong link.

This one is a perfect example of what I'm talking about
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TxFBBc-oKeo

The audio files and the video formats for all the qualities except 720 MP4 give videoplayback as a filename and most of them are saved without extensions. I have to add the extensions myself
Also the 360p MP4 gets a wrong extension of mp4v

Hi, Chrome does not honor the download attribute for cross-origin <a> links anymore.

Sorry, you have to copy the title first, right-click, choose save-as, then paste the title.

What works for me is right-clicking the file link and clicking "Save link as...", and that usually keeps the original title of the video. However, certain characters like quotation marks (") will screw up the title and make it say "undefined".

May I know what browser are you using? IE or Chrome?

See if it now works correctly in v2. ;)

Oops, I just found that not all cases are handled properly. Need to investigate.
