| 20 | |
| 21 <P>Don't send bugreports private, directly to author's address!!! | |
| 22 We are working together on code, so everyone is interested in it. | |
| 23 BTW many times other users know the solution (system config probs, | |
| 24 bad drivers etc), even when we think it's a bug in our code. | |
| 25 The language of this list is ENGLISH!</P> | |
| 26 | |
| 27 <P>Please describe your problem in details, examples etc, and don't | |
| 28 forget to include these:</P> | |

| 89 <P><B><I>4. If the problem is specific to one or a few files, | |
| 90 then please upload that file to:</I></B></P> | |
| 91 <P><CODE> ftp://mplayerhq.hu/MPlayer/incoming/</CODE></P> | |
| 92 Also upload a small .txt file with the same name as your file, | |
| 93 describing the problem!<BR> | |
| 94 Usually first 1-5 MB of the file is enough to reproduce | |
| 95 the problem, but first you should try it: | |
| 96 <P><CODE> dd if=yourfile of=smallfile bs=1k count=1024</CODE></P> | |
| 97 (it will cut first 1MB of 'yourfile' and save to 'smallfile') | |
| 98 Then try again on this small file, and if bug still exists | |
| 99 then it's enough to upload this small file.<BR> | |
| 100 NEVER send such files via mail! Upload it, and send only | |
| 101 the path/filename of the file on the FTP. | |
| 102 If the file is accessible on the net, then sending the | |
| 103 _exact_ URL is enough! | |
| 104 | |
| 105 <P><B><I>5. For crashes (segfault, SIGILL, signal 4 etc):</I></B></P> | |
| 106 | |
| 107 <P><I>If you have coredump of the crash, see 5.a, else see 5.b:</I></P> | |
| 108 | |
| 109 <P><B><I>5.a: Please print us coredump (if it was created).</I></B></P> | |
| 110 | |
| 111 <P>Howto: | |
| 112 please create following command file:</P> | |
| 113 | |
| 114 <P><CODE>disass $eip-32 $eip+32<BR> | |
| 115 printf "eax=%08lX\n",$eax<BR> | |
| 116 printf "ebx=%08lX\n",$ebx<BR> | |
| 117 printf "ecx=%08lX\n",$ecx<BR> | |
| 118 printf "edx=%08lX\n",$edx<BR> | |
| 119 printf "esp=%08lX\n",$esp<BR> | |
| 120 printf "ebp=%08lX\n",$ebp<BR> | |
| 121 printf "edi=%08lX\n",$edi<BR> | |
| 122 printf "esi=%08lX\n",$esi<BR> | |
| 123 </CODE></P> | |
| 124 | |
| 125 <P>Then simply execute following command line:</P> | |
| 126 <P> <CODE>gdb mplayer --core=core -batch --command=command_file >mplayer.bug</CODE></P> | |
| 127 | |
| 128 <P><B><I>5.b.: run MPlayer in gdb:</I></B></P> | |
| 129 <P>Re-compile mplayer with debugging code enabled:<BR> | |
| 130 ./configure --enable-debug<BR> | |
| 131 make | |
| 132 </P> | |
| 133 <P>[at root/user shell prompt:]<BR> | |
| 134 <CODE># gdb mplayer</CODE><BR> | |
| 135 [at gdb prompt:]<BR> | |
| 136 <CODE>> run -v [options-to-mplayer] filename</CODE><BR> | |
| 137 ... (wait until it will crash)<BR> | |
| 138 <CODE>> bt</CODE><BR> | |
| 139 <CODE>> disass $eip-32 $eip+32</CODE><BR> | |
| 140 Send us the full output of the above things! | |
| 141 </P> | |
| 142 | |
| 143 <P><B>In general:</B></P> | |
| 144 | |
| 145 <P>If something is big (logs etc) then it's better to upload to the ftp | |
| 146 (gzipped), and include only path/filename in the bugreport!</P> | |
| 147 | |
| 148 <P><B>I know what am I doing...</B></P> | |
| 149 | |
| 150 <P>If you created a proper bugreport following the above steps, and you are | |
| 151 sure it's mplayer bug, not compiler's problem or broken file, you've already | |
| 152 readed through docs and you didn't find the solution, your sound drivers are ok, | |
| 153 then you may want to subscribe to the mplayer-advusers list and send your | |
| 154 bugreport there to get better and faster answer. But BE WARNED: if you post | |
| 155 newbie or rtfm-type questions there, you'll be immediatelly banned, instead or | |
| 156 getting answered!!! So don't flame us, subscribe -advusers only if you really | |
| 157 know what are you doing and you feel you as advanced mplayer user or developer. | |
| 158 (and about how to subscribe: find it out! if you're really an advanced user, | |
| 159 it shouldn't be a problem for you...) | |
