Linux distributions + in particular love redistributing ancient and unmaintained mpv releases. +- Attach a log file made with ``-v`` or ``--log-file=output.txt``. +- Avoid attaching text files packed in archive files (zip/rar/...), unless + explicitly asked so. There are better means, such as using http://sprunge.us +- If you think this is file specific, upload a sample file and link it. +- Don't report multiple unrelated/barely related bugs in one issue. +- Read: https://mpv.io/bug-reports/ + +Asking questions +================ + +Preferably, asking questions should be done via IRC (#mpv on irc.freenode.net), +but asking questions by opening a github issue is also barely tolerated. + +When asking on IRC (#mpv on irc.freenode.net), don't ask to ask, just state +your problem.
