is there a way for kodi to save what it is playing on disk?
#1
I am new to kodi and I currently use it only to play youtube videos as my PC is not fast enough for that.

I am looking for a way to automatically save the videos I play on a NAS (mounted by NFS);
so that:
- I can view them later again without needing to download the videos again.
- I can view 1920x1040 videos after they have been completely downloaded.

I have looked through the kodi Forum and googled about this, but I didn't find anything related. (Maybe because I don't know the correct terms for this.)

What are the terms of what I am looking for?
Is there such a thing?

I am currently using:
- Firefox on Fedora 22 with "Send to xbmc"
- Google Chrome on Fedora 22 with "YouTube to XBMC"
- OSMC/Kodi v15.2 RC2 on a Raspberry PI 2 with the youtube plugin v5.1.8

Possible problems:
- the configuration can get complicated (well more than the typical kodi user interface).
- the xmbc has to have write access to the NAS (which I would normally not allow).

Ideas:
- it could happen on the PC side (where a full Linux is available) but there would still be the problem of how to integrate with the browser and the xbmc software.

I'm not sure about the legal state of downloading stuff from youtube (streaming vs local copy), but I think there is some add-on out there that allows to do that. Just search for "kodi youtube download" I guess.
