Hi David. I'd say at this stage useful would be finding flash movies with source code buildable with free tools that doesn't play in gnash the way they should. When we have the source code and a way to rebuild it is much easier to find the bug and fix it then reverse-engeneering the flash movies themselves.
Also, if you find a movie that used to play fine with a previous version of Gnash and doesn't play fine with the current CVS version, then we'd like to know. In every bug report you should include all informations about how to reproduce the bug and best is if you can try using different switches to see if the bug changes. Like: disabling sound/disabling rendering. Also try always to download the SWF and play from the filesystem, see if things change in this way. If you can attach the movie to the bug that's better, or point to the url containing it and report the md5 summary of the one you did run so we don't end up testing a different movie. Ah, if you can, try the CVS version to see if a bug is fixed before reporting it. Whatever else we'll need to know we'll ask on the bug tracker, please report bugs as a registered user so you'll receive email notifications when we need more info. Thanks. --strk; On Wed, Oct 03, 2007 at 11:41:56PM +0100, David Gerard wrote: > What are worthwhile things to put in bug reports at this stage?
