[FFmpeg-user] help with file paths under windows

[lorenzo angeli]

Hi All, first of thanks in advance for anyone which will be able to help me
out.

I'm developing a command line tool for simplifying the generation of review
material , which includes a slate (a first image with notes) and then the
proper clip with text, masks , fonts, luts etc.... . The final command gets
generated by python (a bit a wall of text), and spawns a process which
calls ffmpeg with the full command generated.

Now, this seems all to be working fine under linux, but on winows, I
started finding a bunch of issues.

first this :
https://trac.ffmpeg.org/ticket/2166
<https://www.google.com/url?q=https%3A%2F%2Ftrac.ffmpeg.org%2Fticket%2F2166&sa=D&sntz=1&usg=AFQjCNEzmfy7GKPE-4mOSGJ-ECSz3vK3jA>,which
I have fixed on my side, but doesn't really look nice....

Then I have a problem with the luts, even if I format the full path to the
lut correctly, it fails loading it with a strange message, which I can't
undestand if it's given by the content of the lut, or the path itself.

In the first case I'm wondering , could it be because the 3dl lut has been
generated under linux (different endline?) and in case , is there any
solution apart duplicating the luts for each os .
(note the luts have been generated through ociobakelut)

Here a simplified version of the command which is failing on windows:
(please note, on linux works fine)

Thanks.
