669 | 1 How to report bugs? |
2 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ | |
3 First read DOCS/BUGS, and other docs. If your problem isn't | |
4 known or isn't solved by our instructions, then report the bug: | |
5 | |
6 Where? | |
7 ====== | |
8 Subscribe to the mplayer-users mailing list: | |
9 http://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/mplayer-users | |
10 and send your bugreport to: | |
11 mplayer-users@lists.sourceforge.net | |
12 We won't CC: so please subscribe!!! | |
13 | |
14 Don't send bugreports private, directly to author's address!!! | |
15 We are working together on code, so everyone is interested in it. | |
675 | 16 BTW many times other users know the solution (system config probs, |
669 | 17 bad drivers etc), even when we think it's a bug in our code. |
907 | 18 The language of this list is ENGLISH ! |

62 | |
63 For compiling problems/errors: | |
64 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ | |
65 3. output of configure/make: | |
66 make distclean | |
67 ./configure &>config.log | |
68 ./make &>make.log | |

70 config.h | |
71 config.mak | |
72 libvo/config.mak | |
73 | |
74 For playback problems: | |
75 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ | |
76 3. Output of mplayer at verbose level 1 (-v) | |
77 mplayer -v [options] filename &> mplayer.log | |
78 | |
79 4. If the problem is specific to one or a few files, | |
80 then please upload that file to: | |
81 ftp://thot.banki.hu/MPlayer/incoming/ | |
82 Usually first 1-5 MB of the file is enough to reproduce | |
83 the problem, but first you should try it: | |
84 dd if=yourfile of=smallfile bs=1k count=1024 | |
85 (it will cut first 1MB of 'yourfile' and save to 'smallfile') | |
86 Then try again on this small file, and if bug still exists | |
87 then it's enough to upload this small file. | |
88 NEVER send such files via mail! Upload it, and send only | |
89 the path/filename of the file on the FTP. | |
90 If the file is accessible on the net, then sending the | |
91 _exact_ URL is enough! | |
1201 | 92 |
93 5. For crashes (segfault, SIGILL, signal 4 etc): | |
94 | |
95 If you have coredump of the crash, see 5.a, else see 5.b: | |
96 | |
97 5.a: Please print us coredump (if it was created). | |
98 Howto: | |
99 please create following command file: | |
100 | |
101 disass $eip-32 $eip+32 | |
102 printf "eax=%08lX\n",$eax | |
103 printf "ebx=%08lX\n",$ebx | |
104 printf "ecx=%08lX\n",$ecx | |
105 printf "edx=%08lX\n",$edx | |
106 printf "esp=%08lX\n",$esp | |
107 printf "ebp=%08lX\n",$ebp | |
108 printf "edi=%08lX\n",$edi | |
109 printf "esi=%08lX\n",$esi | |
110 | |
111 Then simply execute following command line: | |
112 gdb mplayer --core=core -batch --command=command_file >mplayer.bug | |
113 | |
114 5.b.: run MPlayer in gdb: | |
115 [at root/user shell prompt:] | |
116 # gdb mplayer | |
117 [at gdb prompt:] | |
118 > run -v [options-to-mplayer] filename | |
119 ... (wait until it will crash) | |
120 > bt | |
121 > disass $eip-32 $eip+32 | |
122 Send us the full output of the above things! | |
123 | |
669 | 124 In general: |
1201 | 125 ~~~~~~~~~~~ |
669 | 126 If something is big (logs etc) then it's better to upload to the ftp |
127 (gzipped), and include only path/filename in the bugreport! | |
