Collect postcards locally?

[fishy]

As I understand it, the current blueprint to auto collect postcards collect them on birdbuddy. Even though the videos and images are viewable from HA's media integration, that's by implementing a media source from bird buddy integration, not really locally saved media files.

It would be great if we can collect the videos and images locally, to a mounted nas directory, for example. The media source integration seems to have some limit on how many videos/images you can see and older ones are no longer available there.

Yeah, there are some sample automations in the forum that others have shared, that will download media to local files. Basically I'm an automation for the postcard event, you loop through the media and use the download integration to save them locally. I'll see if I can find the forum posts for it
