Reporting Bugs on libxine - general remarks =========================================== As you can see on http://bugs.debian.org/src:xine-lib, the list of bugs against xine is rather long. 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 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. Both are necessary to understand where and how the segfault occured. Thanks for your collaboration.
