The VideoLAN Forums

Hi,
I use VLC player a lot and thought I will contribute by building a new feature in it which will search for a particular dialogue in the subtitles associated with the movie being played and then we can jump to that location.
I am an expert in C and C++ programming and can also script in various languages like Javasccript. However, I am new to opne source development and VLC player development and dont know where to begin. I searched for some documentation regarding this but did not find anything much useful .So if somebody would guide me about where to start or show me where I can find some documentation regarding how to begin development in VLC player..I would be grateful

First of all, welcome. Second, wrong forum. Third, for a start look at http://wiki.videolan.org/Developers_Corner

Hey, you can come on IRC to discuss with us, that would be cool.

Joined the IRC channel..and got some help..

Freenode doesn't accept connections from Mibbit anymore.

You can use the Freenoide web chat interface: http://webchat.freenode.net
or better a dedicated IRC client (mIrc on Windows, Xchat for both Linux and Windows or even Chatzilla as an addon to your Mozilla based browser).

OOps, I didn't know that.
