Oleg Iarygin <o...@arhadthedev.net> added the comment:

As I found out, any path starting with two double slashes is treated as an UNC 
(network) path:

    vvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvv root
    \\machine\mountpoint\directory\etc\...
               directory ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

So "/Library/Video" and "/" are directories mounted on your machine while 
"//Library/Video" is a computer named "Library" with a share named "Video".

However, an error message in Python 3.8 (as a file path suggests) is 
misleading. In 3.11 it was changed to "'\\Library\Video\' is not in the subpath 
of '\' OR one path is relative and the other is absolute."
