UnicodeDecodeError

[igonzals]

Using BRIE v2.2.2, I'm getting this error when I use brie-count:

brie-count -p 12 -o ../brie -a ../stringtie2/merged_transcriptome.gtf -S ../data/bam-trimmed/SRR4047245_Aligned.sortedByCoord.out.bam ../data/bam-trimmed/SRR4047246_Aligned.sortedByCoord.out.bam ../data/bam-trimmed/SRR4047247_Aligned.sortedByCoord.out.bam ../data/bam-trimmed/SRR4047248_Aligned.sortedByCoord.out.bam ../data/bam-trimmed/SRR4047249_Aligned.sortedByCoord.out.bam ../data/bam-trimmed/SRR4047250_Aligned.sortedByCoord.out.bam ../data/bam-trimmed/SRR4047251_Aligned.sortedByCoord.out.bam

Hi, for -S option, you should input a file listing your bam files, e.g.,
