I use Safari to download my YouTube videos and then post them to other channels, because the compression is great and my workflow is easier this way.

I've been using Safari to do this for 3+ years and within the past 2 weeks, I have clicked on the drop down arrow and then "Download MP4" only to be met with a "videoplayback" item in my downloads queue that never gets a file or completes.

Is there a known fix to this yet or a setting I can change? This works on Google Chrome, however that browser is not an option 75% of the time.

My current download is sitting at "Preparing to Download" and has not connected for hours.
