New Developer who needs help

[sourabhforu]

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

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).
