Description

IMO there should be an option to cache youtube videos as well.
Maybe it should have a separate limits like

  • total size allowed for caching videos (in mbytes);
  • max size per video (in seconds);
  • preferred download quality (lowest resolution, highest resolution, specific resolution [240p, 360p, 480p, 720p, ...]).

Research direction

No files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by locating the Java code responsible for YouTube playback or downloads and any existing caching or size-limit handling. Done should include a defined caching policy for total storage, per-video limits, and preferred quality, with behavior covered by appropriate tests.
