Hi,

maybe someone could explain how to make a "download video" link?
Like on planetdrupal tv.

Did not find it in the documentation.
But would love to have this.
I don't like the idea to add file_field and then upload again video just for downloads.

Thank you!

BDV exposes various tokens (including a download link) to Token. These can be used by Custom links.

Create a new custom link and set title to [field_video-download-link] and enable 'Title uses HTML'.

This is how it was done on planetdrupal.tv .

Hello

I've done what jbrown outlined but when I click the "download" text below the video, it points to

http://mysite.com/system/storage_api/serve/

and no download occurs. Is there something else I need to do? Thank you

Hello I thought I would add on to my previous post above.

For videos that have skipped transcoding (i.e. "Video is Flash-ready" option is ticked on upload), when I click the "download" text below the video, it points to
http://mysite.com/system/storage_api/serve/
and no download occurs.

For other videos uploaded normally, the trick does work though.
