How to gracefully stop ?

[Seblor]

I am unable to find any way to gracefully stop the download. Even if I use the raw ChildProcess and kill it, the youtube-dl process is killed but it leaves the ffmpeg process hanging, locking the resulting file. And manually killing the ffmpeg process leaves the file corrupted.

can you try to pass SIGKILL as killSignal ?

const subprocess = youtubedl.raw('https://example.com', { dumpJson: true }, { killSignal: 'SIGKILL`} )

Sadly this does not work. It still leaves the ffmpeg process hanging.

I am on windows, so maybe it is OS related ?

ops looks like windows could be very particular

I already tried setting windowsHide to false, and using terminate, but the behavior is still the same.
