Broken pipe

When i try to read WAV from pipe it says:
"when stdin is used for input, it must be the only file!"

Even using flac instead of ffmpeg.

This is an easy one. The problem is that on Linux you must add a -o to specify an output file. If you don't, then the filename becomes a second input file (which isn't allowed with stdin). So the correct syntax would be:

Code: [Select]
$ ffmpeg -hide_banner -i input.flac -f wav - | wavpack -i - -o audio.wv

I assume that you were using -i to mean "ignore header length" and not to specify the input file (e.g., FFmpeg syntax).
