Youtube, the playlist and its videos.
In the context menu of the video, you can get the links "Download link", "Download all".
If you select the "Download link" mode, the video will load. The title of the download window will have the correct name, but the video itself will load with a name like "video_2021-03-21_12-08-13. mp4".

The problem is also that the "Download link" item itself very rarely appears. And only one item is offered: "Download all".
So I can't even attach screenshots.

Google Chrome, Windows 10, Ant Download Manager 2.2.1 Beta

Generally, you can not download videos using chrome's context menu.
AntDM extension statically scans links when working with the context menu .
The site generally generates video links dynamically. Static parser doesn't see them.

If you want to download a video, use Video Button or Video Box.

See, the functionality of downloading via the context menu in the extension still exists. And it doesn't just work on YouTube. And if it is available, and sometimes it still works, the video is downloaded, the correct name is displayed in the window title, then it means that you can adjust the name of the video file to be correct. Why not refine it? There are no problems at all, at the programming level.

A significant point when downloading through the context menu is that the page of this video itself does not open and, accordingly, the video will not get into the viewing history.

This is a special case.
Static video parser was removed from the program a few years ago, it worked poorly. Perhaps it worked only for YouTube.
Google actively counteracts video download from YouTube. This is the main reason why we will not change anything in this direction.
