 Replying to [comment:3 ahthovaikied]:
 > The fact there is a workaround does not make it an invalid issue IMO.

 You misunderstand: Using {{{file:}}} is not a workaround for an issue.
 FFmpeg expects you to specify a protocol and the protocol is identified by
 the string left of the colon. Only if you don't specify a protocol,
 {{{file:}}} is assumed. It would be possible to test the protocol string
 against the existing protocols but since you can choose the available
 protocols at compile time, the resulting logic would be fragile: You would
 simply change consistent behaviour that you don't like against
 inconsistent behaviour depending on unrelated compilation options.
