 Summary of the bug:
 ffplay fails to play MPEG-DASH on local storage if the given file path is
 a relative one.
 I also tested on Windows and it is fine.

 How to reproduce:
 {{{
 % mkdir some_folder
 % ffmpeg -i input.mp4 -codec copy -f dash some_folder/output.mpd
 % ffplay some_folder/output.mpd -v verbose  # NG
 ~~~~
