(Solved) Saving videos in-app saves a 259-byte stub file instead (mtgzone.com)

I mentioned this in a comment but I figured it would get lost there.

The recent update means redgifs videos now load (yay) but reveals a new problem: videos cannot be saved in-app. Attempting to do so (with file permissions enabled) instead saves a tiny file with the same name, but none of the data.

As redgifs disallows saving from their site in-browser, this effectively makes redgifs content unsaveable.

Any solution or workaround would be appreciated.

If a site doesn't provide a native method of downloading, it sounds like a challenging feature to add to a Lemmy app. Perhaps yt-dlp might be a workaround, but not sure how feasible it would be.
