Hello,

When working with outputing files to the stdout, chances are people dont need anything but the final result. For instance, if we are embeding subtitles or album art to a video we really dont need the leftover subtitle files and images.

This causes another issue, when i output to stdout the subtitle names are -.en.srt, so basicly multiple requests at the same time will cause overwritting amongst them.

Thank you for the report. We'll try to fix this, but it will be considerably hard because youtube-dl calls out into multiple external programs, for example ffmpeg, and each of these calls must be changed, unless I am mistaken.

Its really more of an enchancement request than a bugfix, as i am dealing with a lot of requests and just typing up what would be convenient. The website in question is http://www.dirpy.com, to give you an idea of what we have, and we are heavily using youtube-dl with stdout, as to avoid hdd space filling up.

I do have some more ideas if you are willing to enchance the stdout stuff, im asking because i wouldnt want to spam issues that dont interest you.
