When I use Cobalt it prompts me to manually download remuxed files every time. I've set the browser permissions to allow for automatic downloads however it still does this.

  1. Go to cobalt.tools
  2. Download a video
  3. Go to the remux page
  4. Drag and drop the video file
  5. Wait for the video to finish remuxing with no interaction from the user
  6. Error message

this is not a bug, it happens because remuxing takes too long on your device, so cobalt can't open a new tab automatically due to expired user activation

Revisiting this: There's no indication to the user that they need to perform an action on the page for the remux to be successful. One thing that I think could be added is an Javascript autoclick that could be triggered so long as the user has the tab in focus although autoclicking sounds a bit like something a malicious site would use. It's not as good as having it auto-download in the background but it's the closest thing I can think of.
