Description

PotPlayer has been causing an error in streamlink for quite some time.
Until version 0.6 streamlink recovered from it and it was fine.
With version 0.6 streamlink exits after the error.

Reproduction steps / Explicit stream URLs to test

Here is the command line i use (works with any stream from twitch at least)

streamlink --player "D:\PotPlayer64\PotPlayerMini64.exe" --player-continuous-http --player-passthrough rtmp --retry-streams 1 --retry-open 99 --hds-segment-threads 2 --hls-segment-threads 2 --twitch-oauth-token xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://www.twitch.tv/aimbotcalvin best

Output with version 0.5

Comments, logs, screenshots, etc.

I would guess it comes from change https://github.com/streamlink/streamlink/commit/ca9b6f557d25573f89f141001c2c9887b0ef4a95

-                    console.logger.error("Error when writing to output: {0}", err)
+                    console.exit("Error when writing to output: {0}, exiting", err)

btw thank you for this awesome tool !

Any decision on this? I'm stuck on version 0.5.0 because 0.6.0 and 0.7.0 both exhibit this behavior with PotPlayer.

@xamphear Definitely a bug that needs to be resolved we just haven't gotten around to it yet.
