<P><B>How to report bugs?</B></P>
|
||||
|
||||
<P>First, try the latest CVS, maybe your bug is already fixed. CVS download
|
||||
instructions (easy) can be found on our homepage.</P>
|
||||
<P>First of all please try the latest CVS version of mplayer as your bug might
|
||||
already be fixed there. CVS instructions can be found at the bottom of
|
||||
<A HREF="http://www.mplayerhq.hu/homepage/dload.html">this page</A>.</P>
|
||||
|
||||
<P>If it didn't help: read <A HREF="documentation.html#D">Appendix D</A>, and other docs. If your problem isn't
|
||||
known or isn't solved by our instructions, then report the bug:</P>
|
||||
<P>If this did not help please refer to <A HREF="documentation.html#D">Appendix D</A>
|
||||
and the rest of the documentation. If your problem is not known or not solvable by
|
||||
our instructions, then please report the bug.</P>

|

We won't CC: so please subscribe!!!</P>
|

Please note that we will not individually CC (carbon-copy) people so it is a good
|
||||
idea to subscribe to actually receive your answer.</P>
|
||||
|
||||
<P>Don't send bugreports private, directly to author's address!!!
|
||||
We are working together on code, so everyone is interested in it.
|
||||
BTW many times other users know the solution (system config probs,
|
||||
bad drivers etc), even when we think it's a bug in our code.
|
||||
The language of this list is ENGLISH!</P>
|
||||
<P>Please do not send bug reports privately to individual developers. This is
|
||||
community work and thus there might be several people interested in it.
|
||||
Also sometimes other users already experienced your troubles and have a
|
||||
solution in hand how to circumvent a problem even if it is a bug in mplayer
|
||||
code.<BR>
|
||||
The language of this list is <strong>English</strong>.</P>

containing problem description, mplayer -v file output, and your email address!<BR>

the problem, but first you should try it:

<P><CODE> dd if=yourfile of=smallfile bs=1024k count=5</CODE></P>
|

(it will cut first 5 MB of 'yourfile' and save to 'smallfile')

then it's enough to upload this small file.<BR>
|

NEVER send such files via mail! Upload it, and send only
|

the path/filename of the file on the FTP.

If the file is accessible on the net, then sending the

_exact_ URL is enough!

Usually the first 1-5 MB of a file are enough to reproduce the problem,

Then try again on this small file and if the bug still shows up

your sample is sufficient for us.<BR>

it to the FTP-server in a compressed format (gzip and bzip preferred) and

include only the path and filename in your bug report.</P>
|

|

<P>If you created a proper bugreport following the above steps, and you are
|
||||
sure it's mplayer bug, not compiler's problem or broken file, you've already
|
||||
readed through docs and you didn't find the solution, your sound drivers are ok,
|
||||
then you may want to subscribe to the mplayer-advusers list and send your
|
||||
bugreport there to get better and faster answer. But BE WARNED: if you post
|
||||
newbie or rtfm-type questions there, you'll be immediatelly banned, instead or
|
||||
getting answered!!! So don't flame us, subscribe -advusers only if you really
|
||||
know what are you doing and you feel you as advanced mplayer user or developer.
|
||||
(and about how to subscribe: find it out! if you're really an advanced user,
|
||||
it shouldn't be a problem for you...)
|

<P><B>I know what I am doing...</B></P>
|
||||
|

<P>If you created a proper bug report following the steps above and you are
|

confident it is a bug in mplayer, not a compiler problem or broken file,
|
||||
you have already read the documentation and you could not find a solution,

|

Please be advised that if you post newbie questions or questions answered
|

in the manual there, you will be ignored or flamed instead of getting an

appropriate answer.<BR>
|

So do not flame us and subscribe to -advusers only if you really know
|

what you are doing and feel like being an advanced mplayer user or

developer. If you meet these criteria it should not be difficult to find
|
