I attempt to run flvtool2 1.0.5 rc6 and receive this output. I encoded
cake.flv with ffmpeg.

$ cat cake.flv | flvtool2 -U stdin cake.flv

Why not
$ flvtool2 -U cake.flv

Sync your version with the svn repository, which is more big free.

That was how my how to told me to do it. I finally figured it out my
hard disk was full so ffmpeg created a empty file cake.flv and that was
what the error was from. Thank you for the help, and sorry for the
noise.

This error did not point me to this conclusion maybe some error checking
in future versions for empty input files?
