Bug Tracking System

Myth now uses Trac, a popular bug-tracking system. When submitting bugs, there are a few rules and suggestions you should follow.

Read the Ticket HowTo and once done, read it again
Report bugs against the most recent SVN code, or failing that the latest release, and select the appropriate release when submitting your ticket.
Search the database first and make sure the bug has not already been reported. Bugs are constantly being fixed, so if you don't search first, you could easily submit a duplicate ticket for a bug that was fixed recently. Also look through the -dev list archives, as many bugs are discussed there before they are submitted to Trac.
Include accurate description of how to recreate the problem, logs, versions (--version) and a backtrace if the bug involves a crash.
Recompile Myth with debug symbols. The additional information helps the developers to recognize errors. See HOWTO Chapter 22 for instructions.
Try and make sure the error is not your misconfiguration (e.g. you don't have a certain codec installed).
MythTV's bugs database (unlike some) is not a User Wish List or a forum for discussion of bugs. Do not submit your feature requests there, and don't use the comments for discussion - comments are for concrete debugging information that will assist the developers to fix the bug. Discussion belongs on the Mailing_List.

Once the bug is submitted, keep track of it as the developers may have additional questions or requests for you.
