SABnzbd failing with or without hwaccels enabled

See original GitHub issue

Making this its own issue now as it is presenting much frustration now, Sorry.

SABnzbd has in the last day started throwing up errors, I have done a fresh download/install of the script and also re-setup the autoprocess.ini and still run in to the same problems. When SAB finishes the download the second (as in immediately there’s no eclipsed time at all) it starts running the script it will display SystemExit: 1

The SMA log will show

^^This is without. I have tried running this with and without hwaccels enabled, always the same result I am running FFMpeg version ffmpeg-20200816-5df9724-win64-static.zip All was fine but since installing Nvidia Drivers 452.06 I have noticed this problem!

The part that I find interesting is “resources.mediaprocessor - ERROR - Error restoring original inputfile after FFMPEG error.” As for the permission thing its because the file is in use however I can not find how by what other than ffmpeg

Really sorry to keep bothering you, just can’t work out why even with a new download its suddenly stop working correctly after running fine for over 2 years.
