I think that ffplay is treating the argument as a URL, so 'a' or '01'
would be the scheme name (like 'http').  Since it does not support any
scheme with that name, you get 'No such file or directory'.

You should be able to work around this for relative paths by prepending
'./' (also useful if there are leading hyphens).

Ben.
