FFmpeg: Can't use absolute paths in subtitles fliter
When running -vf "subtitles=C:\xxx\xxx\xxx.srt" (for example), FFmpeg couldn't find it out.
Maybe this module still can't recognize the format of windows paths
Can you provide the whole command?
This happens every time, regardless of the command……
Can you provide any error output?

The \ between Video and test.srt was missed by ffmpeg.
I think you might need to escape the : since it uses that to separate between filters, similar to https://github.com/Netflix/vmaf/blob/master/resource/doc/ffmpeg.md#note-about-the-model-path-on-windows
-vf subtitles="C:\xxx\xxx\xxx.srt"or-vf subtitles='C:\xxx\xxx\xxx.srt'or-vf 'subtitles="C:\xxx\xxx\xxx.srt"'or-vf "subtitles='C:\xxx\xxx\xxx.srt'"might work.

/c/xxx/xxx.srt, C:\xxx\xxx.srt and C:/xxx/xxx.srt didn't work.
'-vf subtitles="xxxx"', -vf subtitles='xxx' , -vf 'subtitles="xxx"', -vf "subtitles='xxx'" didn't, either.
Can you try running cmd.exe inside MSYS2 and then run ffmpeg there? The MSYS2 bash did some special handing to the command line.
Of course, use Windows path when you try.

I've tried powershell, MSYS2 bash(including zsh and fish) and cmd, all of them didn't work.

-vf subtitles="C\\:/xxx/xxx/xxx.srt"
OK！It works now, thanks! But why can't '/C/xxx/xxx.srt' work?
Isn't there a way to automatically replace : by \: in a PowerShell/CMD command?
