Source of information include the BUGS - file, the mailing-list archives at http://www.via.ecp.fr/ml/videolan/ - and your old friend Google. - - - Be sure to be using a recent version. Bug reports against old - versions of vlc are likely to be ignored, because changes in the - program may make it impossible to reproduce the bug, or may even have - fixed it. - - - Give as many details as possible about your problem! Better too - much than not enough. - - - Don't forget to say which version of vlc you are using (0.2.91, - CVS snapshot from 21 Dec 2001, Debian packages 0.2.92-4). It is - important to tell us where you got the packages from (web site, CVS, - distribution). - - - Also, your platform is very important. vlc runs on a lot of - different operating systems, so you should at least provide your - operating system name and version (Windows 98, Debian Linux woody, - BeOS, ...) and your CPU (Pentium 3, Sparc, PowerPC, ...). - - - * Reporting a ./configure or make issue - - - Give the full log showing the problem: - ./configure > logfile.txt 2>&1 - make 2>&1 > logfile.txt 2>&1 - - - When dealing with a ./configure issue, please provide the generated - config.log file. - - - Your compiler brand and version may be relevant here as well. - - - * Reporting a crash - - - Try to reproduce the crash and to explain how you reproduced it. - - - A gdb backtrace can be useful. For it to have any meaning, vlc - should have been compiled with debug symbols (add the --enable-debug - flag to ./configure) - - - * Where to send bug reports? - - - Use the Bugzilla interface at http://bugzilla.videolan.org/. If you - do not want to leave your email address, just use "guest" as both the - username and password. You will not be notified about the evolution of - your bug though. - - - The vlc-devel mailing-list is also a good place to discuss issues - with all developers, but bug reports are better sent to Bugzilla. - + Please visit http://www.videolan.org/support/bug-reporting.html + for details on how to properly report/diagnose a bug in VLC media player. -- 2.39.2
