[FFmpeg-user] Playing a file with subtitles that have single quotes in their filename

[Gonzalo Garramuño]

Never mind me.  I figured it out by myself.   Here's the quoted line:

$ ffplay 
/media/gga/Datos/movies/trailers/big_buck_bunny_1080p_surround.avi -vf 
subtitles=/media/gga/Datos/code/applications/mrViewer/Charlie\\\\\\\'s\ 
Angels.srt:charenc=ISO-8859-1
