Solution for those wishing do add a download button when using an RSS playlist.
Thanks to James Herrieven for helping me solve this (http://dev.powered-by-haiku.co.uk/solutions/listy/):

This solution requires a path to an http video file (Apache/hls streaming folder, etc):
1. RSS playlist parameter: add a <jwplayer:downloadfile> parameter to each playlist item in the RSS playlist. For example, <jwplayer:downloadfile>http://pathtofile/download.mov</jwplayer:downloadfile>
2. Add a download button to get the file specified in the downloadfile paramter:
<script>
jwplayer().addButton(
"images/download.png",
"Download Video",
function() {
window.location.href = jwplayer().getPlaylistItem()['downloadfile'];
},
"download"
);
</script>
Safari: the file opens in a new window. The user can then save the file by going to File > Save As (Format > Page source option).
Chrome: file automatically starts downloading.
Many thanks to James Herrieven for helping me figure this out.
Very nice, elegant solution!
