Please help the maintainer by +ensuring that your bugreport contains all pieces of infromation to +reproduce and check if the bug has been fixed. + +Reporting bugs for unsupported file formats +=========================================== + +If you report a bug that a specific file cannot be played, please make +sure that you include a link to the file so the maintainers can try +them. If you cannot (easily) point to that file, please check +http://samples.mplayerhq.hu/ if you find a similar file with the same +problem. In any case, please start xine with the parameter +--bug-report. (If you are using gxine, please install the package +xine-ui instead. If you can only reproduce the bug with gxine but not +with xine-ui, then file the bug against gxine) + +Report bugs for xine crashes +============================ + +If you report a bug that applications linked against libxine1 +(xine-ui, gxine, amarok, totem, etc) segfault, please install the +packages 'xine-ui' and 'libxine1-dbg', and try to reproduce it with +this command: + +> ulimit -c unlimited ; /usr/bin/xine --bug-report <mrl> + +If you can reproduce the bug, then run gdb to get a backtrace: + +> gdb /usr/bin/xine core.* + +At the gdb prompt, please issue these commands: + +# backtrace +# thread apply all backtrace full +# quit + +Make sure to attach both files BUG-REPORT.TXT and the resulting +backtrace from gdb.
