Description

When downloading a video with additional query parameters (e.g. time offset), the video loads infinitely without an error.

I think it would be a better UX if the query parameters were stripped and the video could be downloaded regardless.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Examine the download handler to see how it parses the video URL and strip query parameters before passing to the downloader.
