The VideoLAN Forums

Hi all,

I have been trying to read about helping the development of the project. I have designed an HTTP interface using jQuery that currently has 80% of the functionality of the existing HTTP interface. The documentation I have been able to find for submitting patches and the like say to send it through the list srv. Would that be the same for a new HTTP interface? I did notice there was a ticket opened... 5 years ago, to cleanup the HTTP interface. I was able to post the files there in hopes it could get in the right hands.

Currently, I cannot join the IRC channel, though I guess that would be my next stop. Would there be a better way to submit "not real code" changes for review? I do still want to flush out some of the functionality so it can do everything the current interface can, but if I am way off the mark, I want to know prior to putting all of the effort into the changes.

Thank you

For reference see Ticket #594

That would be amazing.
Why can't you join the IRC channel?

IRC is currently blocked at my location.

Can't you use the web IRC interface? http://webchat.freenode.net/

It is okay, I am now at a location where I am able to use IRC

I was looking to contribute to VLC as well, and I also have some skills in the web side of things. Do you need any help getting your web interface up and running?

Try VLC 1.2 NB and try the new http interface. Help and improvements are welcome.
