Ustunozgur: Reverted edits by Gggg (Talk); changed back to last version by Remiii

=Quality Assurance=

This section of this wiki is about helping to increase the quality of different versions of VideoLAN's products, and mainly [[VLC media player]].

==Why this page ?==
===Main idea===
There is not much yet on this page, but the idea is to develop ''test protocols'', regroup ''test files'', and at the end improve the whole quality of VLC, to avoid ''regressions'' and check ''roadmaps.''

===Who is concerned===
The community of VideoLAN's numerous users and developers can enforce the project by doing systematic tests and report bugs and regressions. Some projects rely on a lot of external code that evolves a lot. Being '''numerous''' can help to make it better.

===Bugs===
The '''bugs''' should be tracked down and killed using [http://trac.videolan.org trac]

==Why should you get involved ?==
The '''more''' we are, the more bugs are spotted, the best VLC is !
Easy, ain't it ?

So if '''you''' help, everyone will be a winner.

==How can you get involved ?==
Use this talk page or contact; for a start [[User_talk:J-b]] (this will change).
Then, just run the tests and modify this wiki's pages.

===Bug reporting===
Use trac to do these.

==Urgent==
* Prepare the tests for VLC 0.8.6
* Gather original and references video and audio files

=VLC=
Motto: ''Let's improve VLC !!!''

==Tests to run==
You want to help testing VLC ? There are a few tests that you can handle:

* VLC playback tests (codecs and files related) Win32 and MacOS focused.

* VLC functionnality tests

* VLC transcode and streaming tests

==Files==
=== Official files ===
All those files should be tested inside the reference FTP.

ftp://streams.videolan.org/streams-videolan/reference/

Use that structure to create the reports.

=== More files ===
Where to search for more files:
* MPlayer's [http://samples.mplayerhq.hu/ MPlayer's FTP]
* References codecs pages usually, linking to those should be enough...

==Versions roadmaps==

=== 0.9.0 ===
0.9.0 should be the first version to review now.

==== NB ====
Use the latest NB, 20070425 or newer to run your tests And report.
[http://nightlies.videolan.org/ Here] you can download experimental versions of VLC.

Ustunozgur:

Hello,

We are having an issue where the VLC Media Player 0.8.6c is not able to recognize movies DVD's .

The VLC player has been installed on customer's HP's Notebooks HP NC6400 series, running XP Professional SP2 (own customer's ISO image) and having as video adapter solution the (UMA) Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 950 . The machine installs a Matshita's DVD drive UJ-842S.
The issue is very specific to the above customer's configuration.

The media DVD's are recognized by the drive if the customer install Intervideo WinDVD(any versions) or Windows Media Player (11).

Are you aware of any such issues occurred with VLC Player and the solution taken to resolve the problem?

Thanks a lot in advance for your ready help.

You should ask such questions in the VLC forum. Noone is going to read your user pages. See http://forum.videolan.org/ [[User:Ustunozgur|Ustunozgur]]

Well, simply because VLC has evolved with not so much accumulation in mind,

If someone could explain why, for example, activex is not in the bindings folder, why there
is a separate python directory at the root, what several directories like evc, lxdialog are,
that would be great! Note that I have added a FIXME! at the beginning of the explanation

The directories are listed in alphabetical order, with an overview of their contents on the right. Any first level subdirectories are shown as well.

The directories are listed in alphabetical order, with an overview of their contents on the right. Any first level subdirectories are shown as well.

'''''Note:''''' This table is by no means exhaustive. Note that only plugins with their own subdirectories are listed; plugins inside the parent directories are not emphasized unless they are too important.

Thanks for writing these development docs. If you have time, it would be great if you could link each module to it's documentation entry in [[Documentation:Modules]].

OK. I will do it this week hopefully. [[User:Ustunozgur|Ustunozgur]] 23:39, 2 April 2007 (CEST)
