[Bug]: Downloader isn't functioning properly  #13

Description

@Tr4p-kun

Description: The built-in video downloader is underperforming. It fails to detect media on some websites, and when it does appear to find a file, the actual download process often fails. Sites like YouTube (no detection), ezgif (broken downloads), and VK (broken downloads) are currently not working as expected.

​Steps to Reproduce:

  • Open a video-hosting page (e.g., YouTube, ezgif, or VK) in Omni Browser.

  • ​Attempt to use the built-in video downloader/grabber.

  • ​Observe that either no video is detected or, if a download is initiated, and it fails.

​Expected Behaviour: ​The downloader should reliably detect available video streams on various platforms and successfully download them to the device storage in a playable format.

Actual Behaviour: ​The detection is inconsistent or non-existent on popular sites, and triggered downloads frequently result in errors.

​Device Info:

  • ​Device: Google Pixel Fold

  • ​Android Version: Android 17 (CinnamonBun)

  • App Version: 1.2.3.4

  • Theme: Dark
