TMP not working

This command is not working in macOS:
https://twitch-dl.bezdomni.net/advanced.html

It always saves in /var/folders/x9/g84bmm403x3_r6dx8twt92k50000gn/T/twitch-dl/

I'm planning to move the tmp files to the cache directory. Already doing this when rendering chat.

Reasons:

  • we want to keep the downloaded vods sometimes to allow aborting and then resuming downloads later
  • seems like some OSs keep the temp files in memory (#105, #115)
  • my fedora install has a temp partition limited to 15 gigs which is not enough for larger streams

Why not let choose custom directory?

Check out 2.9.0. It downloads to cache, but lets you override the cache location using the --cache-dir option.

Also there's twitch-dl cache to view cache usage and clear cached files.
