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.
