Uhmmm... this may be a source of errors so not sure it is a good idea,
I would prefer to just bail out if both options are used.

Mmh no we're pretty strict about this, don't worry about the others
I'll fix them tomorrow if I won't be too lazy.

Note: the strfmt syntax may be extended, for example it would be
rather useful to be able to print some of the information about the
frame/link, e.g. PTS, number of frame, format, size, etc.,
this may be done eventually in a further patch...

Why not? That would be cool don't you agree? ;-) If looks not trivial
skip it, that may be eventually added in a further patch.

Just an idea, file/font/text may be misleading, I suggest to use:
fontfile
textfile
text

set foreground color

Is the color_str check necessary?

I'd prefer:
if ((ret = ...) < 0) {
   av_log(...)
   return ret;
}

here and when we check an internal error code.

We don't know the cause of failure, it could well be a memory problem
for example, even if the provided parameter is allright.

Is the second check necessary?

"(=f:filename)", that's quite confusing, make it more clear or remove that.

Maybe a check could be added here, if the text is already defined then
issue an error.

> +            av_log(ctx, AV_LOG_WARNING, "WARNING: The file could not be opened.\n");

I'd skip the "WARNING" here and below, this may conflict with how the
user overrides the default log callback.

missing check. See the function read_file() in cmdutils.c.

Nit: dont' break the "..." string, put it on the second line.

What's the point of file_valid?

weird indent: draw_glyph(pic_ref,

also you may put more params on the same line, and save some LOC.

I find this a little confusing, as this seems to imply that the
parameters have to be provided in a fixed order. Maybe something of
the kind:
It accepts a list of $var{key}=var{value} pairs as parameters,
separated by ":".

I bet you can write it better than me.

I don't like that "in place of". Maybe something of the type:

The filter recognizes strftime() sequences in the provided text and
expand them accordingly. Check the documentation of strftime().
