The QCTools core isn't designed for piped content.
I can add an error message to prevent the crash.

If the feature is wanted I can also implement it, but it would be a significant change.

I am very interested in piped input as well. It would be game changing to be able to generate QC information in real time during an analog capture. I already capture with ffmpeg, so it would be easy for me to add a second piped output directly to qcli for real time *.qctools.mkv file creation.
