[Bug] REMOVE_TMP_FILES_AFTER_DOWNLOAD env not honoured

[m4teh]

After discovering a large tmp file buildup and clearing it out, I realised the download output was keeping the tmp files - that's fine. However, even after I defined env variable REMOVE_TMP_FILES_AFTER_DOWNLOAD=true, the tmp files are still retained, and the download output confirms such action.

Hi m4teh,
This is indeed a bug! I will try to fix this and have at least the REMOVE_TMP_FILES_AFTER_DOWNLOAD=true environment variable forcing to remove temporary videos files.
Thanks for pointing out.

Hi m4teh,
The new v2.1.1 version should fix this bug.
Now, all the large files are removed after a download when REMOVE_TMP_FILES_AFTER_DOWNLOAD is set to true.

[m4teh]

Good stuff! Looks like it deletes the media files, however the config files for the video remain. I'm far less concerned about that though.

[EgalitarianMonkey]

Yes, indeed. This is done in purpose as the most important thing for the cleanup is the file size.
Config files can still be useful for resilient future downloads.
