Hi, I have searched the archive and the bug database, but haven't found any references to this... If this is an old hat, please ignore.
as far as I remember, in the dev documentation it is mentioned that one can open resources either via a filename, a URL or some other form of custom AVIOContext. But in its current form FFmpeg does not seem to support well formed Windows file URLs. On Windows, the scheme part (file:) is always followed by a bunch of slashes, usually three (file:///), before the drive designator. A correct local file URL is e.g.: file:///C:/somePath/someFile.mp3 A more complete explanation can be found at http://blogs.msdn.com/b/ie/archive/2006/12/06/file-uris-in-windows.aspx Contrary to this, in libavformat/file.c (static int file_open(URLContext *h, const char *filename, int flags), line 112) FFmpeg simply cuts off "file:" in line 119 and thinks it is done. Unfortunately, open("///C:/somePath/someFile.mp3", access, 0666); // line 135 leads to EINVAL/Invalid Argument. This function is called via avio_open2, which is called by avformat_open_input. Is this a known issue? Or should I file a bug report?
