   Actually... I think I installed a youtube plugin and it worked. But that   
   was for the wife, but she never used it in the end.   
      
   What I usually do, is to download documentaries off youtube with yt-dlp   
   and ship them to the NAS, there they are picked up by the kodi   
   automatically if they are well known.   
      
   Works lile a charm and all commercials are removed as well.
