Android Java download Video and save to internal storage

Question

I am achieving this by the following code

                String mBaseFolderPath = android.os.Environment
                        .getExternalStorageDirectory().getPath()
                        + File.separator
                        + "FolderName" + File.separator;
                if (!new File(mBaseFolderPath).exists()) {
                    new File(mBaseFolderPath).mkdir();
                }

                String fname = post.date.toString();

                Uri downloadUri = Uri.parse(post.vUrl.trim());
                if (downloadUri == null) {
                    return;
                }

                String mFilePath = "file://" + mBaseFolderPath + "/" + fname ;
                DownloadManager.Request req = new DownloadManager.Request(downloadUri);
                req.setDestinationUri(Uri.parse(mFilePath));
                req.setNotificationVisibility(DownloadManager.Request.VISIBILITY_VISIBLE_NOTIFY_COMPLETED);
                DownloadManager dm = (DownloadManager) context.getSystemService(context.DOWNLOAD_SERVICE);
                dm.enqueue(req);
                Toast.makeText(context, R.string.video_downloaded, Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();

unfortunately this only works on my simulator but on NO real device. I am asking for permission and downloading images works on ALL devices, but video not.

Fatal Exception: java.lang.SecurityException
Unsupported path /storage/emulated/0/FolderName/1604782936

is the error log

even though I am asking for permission and downloading images works fine.

My app is like instagram and I want users to be able to download the video straight to their phone, like on TikTok

i have added

android:requestLegacyExternalStorage="true"

to my manifest file
