The MPlayer IRC and bug report monkey.
- Take the Sample Challenge!
- Review one file from /incoming/ per week! (+delete/move/report bug)
- Extra Credit- Write a new audio/video codec/format on the wiki.
Steps to review incoming:
- start with older files
- google the filename to see if it was posted to the mplayer/ffmpeg mailing list
- do a search at http://bugzilla.mplayerhq.hu and http://roundup.mplayerhq.hu to see if it was posted there
- if no text file exists, try playback using mplayer and ffplay
- move file to samples.mphq and create/modify bugreport or delete
TODO:
- organize incoming into folders like "known issues-to be fixed"
- fix communication between developers-samples status
- explain what samples are to be kept and which to be deleted
- ask other projects (xine,vlc) if they want to take a look at such files before deletion
