[FFmpeg-user] piping with mintty under windows (stdout is not a tty)

Hello everybody,
does anybody know that ffmpeg got a change in the way it pipes the output
under Windows?

I use shell scripts under Windows with msys2 and the mintty console. In the
past I pipe for example like this:

ffmpeg -i input.ext -f null /dev/null 2>&1 | awk '{print}'

or:

ffmpeg -i input.ext -f matroska - | ffplay -

When I try this now I get:


*stdout is not a tty*
For Windows Tools I could use winpty, but this doesn't work to...

Have you any Idea?

Regards

Jonathan
