How to report bugs?
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
First read DOCS/BUGS, and other docs. If your problem isn't
|
|
known or isn't solved by our instructions, then report the bug:
|
|
|
|
Where?
|
|
======
|
|
Subscribe to the mplayer-users mailing list:
|
|
http://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/mplayer-users
|
|
and send your bugreport to:
|
|
mplayer-users@lists.sourceforge.net
|
|
We won't CC: so please subscribe!!!
|
|
|
|
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 !
|
|
|
|
Please describe your problem in details, examples etc, and don't
|
|
forget to include these:
|
|
|
|
What?
|
|
=====
|
|
|
|
1. The system info what we always want:

|
|
- binutils version:
|
|
as --version
|
|
|
|
2. Hardware & drivers:
|
|

Creative SB16 with OSS drivers of kernel
|
|

|
|
- if you are unsure, attach output of lspci -v
|
|
|
|
For compiling problems/errors:
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
3. output of configure/make:
|
|
make distclean
|
|
./configure &>config.log
|
|
./make &>make.log
|
|
4. these files:
|
|
config.h
|
|
config.mak
|
|
libvo/config.mak
|
|
|
|
For playback problems:
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
3. Output of mplayer at verbose level 1 (-v)
|
|
mplayer -v [options] filename &> mplayer.log
|
|
|
|
4. If the problem is specific to one or a few files,
|
|
then please upload that file to:
|
|
ftp://thot.banki.hu/MPlayer/incoming/
|
|
Usually first 1-5 MB of the file is enough to reproduce
|
|
the problem, but first you should try it:
|
|
dd if=yourfile of=smallfile bs=1k count=1024
|
|
(it will cut first 1MB of 'yourfile' and save to 'smallfile')
|
|
Then try again on this small file, and if bug still exists
|
|
then it's enough to upload this small file.
|
|
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!
|
|
|
|
5. For crashes (segfault, SIGILL, signal 4 etc):
|
|
|
|
If you have coredump of the crash, see 5.a, else see 5.b:
|
|
|
|
5.a: Please print us coredump (if it was created).
|
|
Howto:
|
|
please create following command file:
|
|
|
|
disass $eip-32 $eip+32
|
|
printf "eax=%08lX\n",$eax
|
|
printf "ebx=%08lX\n",$ebx
|
|
printf "ecx=%08lX\n",$ecx
|
|
printf "edx=%08lX\n",$edx
|
|
printf "esp=%08lX\n",$esp
|
|
printf "ebp=%08lX\n",$ebp
|
|
printf "edi=%08lX\n",$edi
|
|
printf "esi=%08lX\n",$esi
|
|
|
|
Then simply execute following command line:
|
|
gdb mplayer --core=core -batch --command=command_file >mplayer.bug
|
|
|
|
5.b.: run MPlayer in gdb:
|
|
[at root/user shell prompt:]
|
|
# gdb mplayer
|
|
[at gdb prompt:]
|
|
> run -v [options-to-mplayer] filename
|
|
... (wait until it will crash)
|
|
> bt
|
|
> disass $eip-32 $eip+32
|
|
Send us the full output of the above things!
|
|
|
|
In general:
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
If something is big (logs etc) then it's better to upload to the ftp
|
|
(gzipped), and include only path/filename in the bugreport!
