This sounds like a gripe but it's really not - I'm immensely grateful for the ability to be able to play media in the product I work on. Can you elaborate on the best way to ask for help in the VLC support forums? I've tried a couple of times over the years and literally got told to "stop asking for someone to do my work for me" and essentially go away.. I know the developers on the forum must get tired of the "CAN PLS HELP ME MAKE VLC. THANKS" type posts but mine were always specific questions with working sample code which illustrates smy issue and that I'd banged my head on for days without success. I really want to improve the quality of our implementation but have no idea how to without some pointers from experienced devs. Thank you.

It's hard and some devs are not very patient, tbh... > I really want to improve the quality of our implementation but have no idea how to without some pointers from experienced devs. Come on IRC. Really.
