<P><B>How to report bugs</B></P>
|
||||
|
||||
<P>First of all please try the latest CVS version of <B>MPlayer</B> 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> or in the
|
||||
README. If this did not help please refer to
|
||||
<A HREF="documentation.html#known_bugs">the list of known bugs</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>

|
||||
instructions, then please report the bug.</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.
|
||||
Sometimes other users already experienced your troubles and know how to
|
||||
circumvent a problem even if it is a bug in <B>MPlayer</B> code.</P>

|
||||
|
||||
<P>Please describe your problem in as much detail as possible. Do a little
|
||||
detective work to narrow down the circumstances under which the problem occurs.
|
||||
Does the bug only show up in certain situations? Is it specific to certain files
|
||||
or file types? Does it occur with only one codec or is it codec independent?
|
||||
Can you reproduce it with all output drivers? The more information you provide
|
||||
the better are our chances at fixing your problem. Please do not forget to
|
||||
also include the valuable information requested below, we will be unable to
|
||||
properly diagnose your problem otherwise.</P>
