Error: write EPIPE

[0xjones]

• [x] I have tried with the newest version of editly: npm i -g editly or npm i editly@latest
• [x] I have tried ffmpeg newest stable version
• [x] I have searched for existing issues

Getting an error when trying to run editly from my es6 script. I am running on Windows 10, Node v20.11.0, npm v10.3.0.

Here's the error output I get at the termination of the script (after console logs from my own script). I've enabled ffmpeg logging and verbose in editly after looking at other issues.

The above output was obtained from the latest version of editly and the latest stable version of ffmpeg (v6.1). I also tried with ffmpeg v4.3.1 and ffmpeg v6.0. Each time I get the same write EPIPE error. Not sure what I'm missing here, can provide my code if needed. Can anyone help?

I managed to get editly working. I think ffmpeg was throwing an error because there was a ? character in the output filename. I simply stripped out questions marks from the output filename and the script is working again.
