Force jdownloader to name the file for any url without setting the name manually in UI

Question

I have a url & I want jdownloader to save the file with a predefined name ignoring the name server gives

for example

I have a url like http://server.com/server-file.mp4 & I want this file to be saved as custom-filename.mp4 without using UI

Is it possible to pass a special URL argument to the download URL so that jDownloader can recognise this & save the file with this specific name?

For e.g for the above case, can I paste something like the following url in jdownloader

http://server.com/server-file.mp4?jdSaveAs=custom-filename.mp4 so that jdownloader automatically saves this file as custom-filename.mp4 instead?

Answer 1

You can append the custom file name to the URL and parse it using packagizer rule.

Rewrite URL in this format:

https://board.jdownloader.org/server-file.mp4#filename=custom-filename.mp4

filename download: custom-filename.mp4

Import this rule in Packagizer (Right-click the 'Raw' button to save file to disk)
