[FFmpeg-user] "Invalid argument" when running ffmpeg.exe with a pipe as video input

I am creating a c# application to record videos H264.
The workflow of my application is like this:
1) My application connects to a webcam using DirectShow and presents the frames in the UI;
2) When recording the app starts a FFmpeg process that accepts a video input from a pipe;
3) After that in my app a NamedPipeServerStream is created and the frames are wrote there.
Till now, I never had a problem with this method, but yesterday I started having problems in a new computer. The problem seems to be related with the creation of the pipe.
This is the command I am currently running:
-loglevel debug -thread_queue_size 1024 -framerate 30 -f rawvideo -pix_fmt bgra -video_size 848x480 -use_wallclock_as_timestamps true -i \\.\pipe\28e1b96a-c6ea-43f2-88a0-2e7e4bfb48ed -framerate 25 -vcodec libx264 -crf 23 -pix_fmt yuv420p -preset ultrafast -framerate 30 "2032787211637070049780945982.mp4"
And these are the logs I got from running the command:

The really strange part of this, is that sometimes it works... Here are the logs of when it works:

Anyone ever had this problem and knows how to fix it? or at least where can I look for more information about it.
Thanks in advance,
Alessandro.
