00:27:31Zagorhi
00:28:02faethor_ukhi Zagor, I noticed u got my thanx for the lack of RTC noise on line-in recordings
00:28:11 Join LinusN [0] (~linus@labb.contactor.se)
00:28:17Zagorah, that was you?
00:28:29faethor_uksweatshopsarecool... yes

00:29:52Zagorfaethor_uk: did you have any trouble with your recording test? error messages or such?
00:30:04faethor_ukwell done.. I been getting plenty of descent sample recordings through a powered mic with no probs on yesterdays build
00:30:26LinusNfaethor_uk: great to hear
00:30:27faethor_uknot yet
00:31:54faethor_uknot tried recording for any substantial length of time yet tho.. I've done short recordings to feed my sampler
00:32:58LinusNhow long?
00:34:16faethor_ukabout 5 mins average
00:34:28LinusNthat's pretty long, methinks
00:35:16faethor_uk:D mainly capturing sounds to mould into percussion samples
00:35:31LinusNaha
00:36:29faethor_ukI'll be trying it out at a few concerts soon, so time will tell
00:36:52LinusNmake sure you do scandisk first
00:37:21faethor_ukOK ;)

05:28:53saltydogHello all.
05:29:46saltydogIf anyone is listening, I have a question/possible bug with the 1.4 recorder firmware.
05:32:22saltydogWell, I'll say it anyway, since you are logging this stuff...
05:33:10saltydogI didn't see any mention of this on your site, or in the release notes for 1.4 recorder, but
05:34:13saltydogI lose access to all of my MP3 files encoded with VBR. They won't even show up in the directory.
05:35:09saltydogThey are clearly music files, so choosing "music files only" shouldn't matter, right?
05:36:17saltydog.
05:36:59saltydogOh well, anyway, that's what I observed. Perhaps I missed something somewhere?
05:37:31saltydogFeel free to ask questions/flame away at this address;
05:37:39henryisherei have vbr's that owrk fine
05:37:52saltydogHello.
05:38:07saltydogHow do you have your files listes?
05:38:22saltydogAll supported, music only, or all files?
05:38:37saltydogOops... I meant listed.
05:39:09 Nick _seb_ is now known as seb-sleep (trilluser@bgp420584bgs.union01.nj.comcast.net)

08:17:53dwihno:D
08:18:09dwihnoWell, I tried getting my archos (and USB2 disk box) to work under DOS last night
08:18:31dwihnoThe software worked partially - it did only show one directory
08:18:41dwihnostill allowing cd:ing and type:ing :/

08:41:24henryisherewhy u wanna connect in dos anyhow?
08:41:46dwihnojust to check if it's truly possible
08:41:56dwihnoimagine the usage for dos boxes (i.e - using ghost etc)
08:43:51henryisherenot really
08:43:59henryisherewhats the pointo fo a dos box anymore?
08:44:28henryisherea celron 300 box costs liek 100$ prolly
08:44:37henryisherewhy use anythign less
08:44:54dwihnoSorry, I ment booting DOS
08:44:58henryisherehel; werent there some dell p2's for 50$ the other day
08:44:59henryishereoh ok
08:45:05dwihnofor transfering disk images using norton ghost
08:45:11henryisheregotcha
08:45:19henryisherethat might almost be remotely valid
08:45:27henryisherei dont mess w/ images tho
08:45:36henryisherei prefer reinstalls when i make new boxes
08:45:37dwihnoWell, I do :)
08:45:40dwihnoEvery once in a while
08:45:47henryisherewell to each their own i guess
08:46:04henryisherefor me, reinstall is easy, cuz ll my data resides on the raid server in the closet
08:46:21henryishereso i can format any of my boot drives at any time and lose nothing
08:46:55henryisherei find comfort in that i guess
08:47:36dwihnoah
08:47:47dwihnoDifferent solutions for different people, I guess :)
08:47:50henryishereto many radom drive deaths
08:47:56henryishereyes indeed

09:58:42kargatronoops, Zagor, duped your comment on that cfg request.
09:58:45kargatronoh well
09:59:21Zagorno problem
10:00
10:08:40dwihnoZagor: since you're mr. fat32, tell me why I barely saw any files using the DOS USB stuff last night :)
10:09:05Zagor?
10:09:20dwihnoI downloaded some USB stack
10:09:25Zagoryou tried the dos usb driver on your archos, and it didn't work?
10:09:31dwihnoIt worked partially
10:09:39dwihnoI could type the playlists, cd into the directories
10:09:47dwihnobut when dir:ing I saw nothing
10:10:04Zagordoes your dos understand fat32?
10:10:45dwihnoyea
10:10:49dwihnoMy C: is fat32
10:10:53dwihno(which works)
10:11:03Zagorwhich dos are you using?
10:15:24dwihnoWin98SE boot disk
10:15:39dwihnoI think it's the driver which isn't fully compatible
10:15:54dwihnoI downloaded a newer version today which I'll try tonight
10:16:07Zagorok
10:16:21Zagorbut the driver handles low-level disk I/O, not the file system
10:19:20 Quit kargatron (Read error: 60 (Operation timed out))
10:28:26dwihnoZagor: interesting... :|
10:29:05Zagordwihno: on the other hand, we're talking about DOS here so normal rules don't apply. that driver could very well do everything on its own
10:31:37dwihnoYeah, DOS is full of surprises
10:32:12dwihnoI guess trying the newer driver might be worth a shot
10:32:18Zagoryup
10:32:58dwihnoUSB in DOS is a bit exotic :-)
10:33:00dwihnoAnd cute!
10:33:10dwihnoImagine being able to use it with applications such as ghost
10:33:13dwihnoand partition magic
10:33:33dwihnoHow is the unlocking done in software btw?
10:33:50Zagori must admin I don't quite see the point. what does DOS give you that Linux doesn't?
10:33:57Zagorunlock?
10:34:07Zagorah, it's a special ATA command
10:36:30dwihnoah, okay
10:36:38dwihnoDOS being able to do anything might do the trick in assembly
10:36:57Zagori guess

10:44:46dwihnoWhat is the command?

10:46:08Zagor0xf2
10:46:50ZagorSECURITY UNLOCK is the name
10:50:40dwihnoWE GOT THE COMMAND SEQUENCE!!! :)
10:51:11dwihnoI'll see if I can come up with anything tonight
10:53:10dwihnoThen I'll need some volunteers ;)
10:53:38dwihnobut if the driver works as it should, the plain old utility should work

11:30:43kargatronhave any of the rockbox devs ever seen the sound-stops/playing-continues problem? Have there been any attempts at code diagnosis? An error-handling problem?
11:31:23Zagorwe never get it. it's very strange.
11:31:32Zagormore debugging is needed
11:31:43kargatronhave you tried making it skip?
11:31:46kargatronthat's when I see it
11:32:00kargatrona jolt, sound stops, wait long enough, and sound comes back -
11:32:17kargatroni think upon buffer refresh (my anecdotal analysis)
11:32:48Zagoras I wrote in a mail, i keep in in my handlebar while riding my bike. it jolts A LOT in there, yet I never get skips or any other problem.
11:33:12kargatronhm, probably hardware disk-reading susceptibility differences
11:33:24Zagorthat is not to say this is not a problem, only that I have failed to repeat it myself
11:33:26kargatronyou must have a good one.
11:33:35Zagorcould be
11:33:37kargatronmine's not so hard to disturb
11:34:23kargatronif i have it in a floppy pocket, i could expect it to happen while walking
11:37:39kargatronlet's say you *did* see it in such circumstances (like, jolting it on your desk) - could you get good debugging out of that? I mean, see what happens to cut the sound out?
11:42:00kargatronperhaps i can ask another way - can *I* reproduce it and then via the debug panel, pass on useful info? :)
11:43:02Zagor"As you may know, RockBox has been has reversed engineered our Jukebox Players and Recorders. They have been developing firmware for our units for over a year. We choose to approach them and enlist their help in developing new firmware." −− Archos US
11:43:07ZagorWTF!?!
11:43:39dwihno(?!)
11:43:44dwihnoWhat is that?
11:43:46dwihnoWHAT YOU SAY?
11:43:50Zagorgood question
11:43:51dwihnoSOMEONE SET UP US THE BOMB!
11:44:04dwihnoWhere did you read that?
11:44:26Hadakawot
11:44:45***Saving seen data "./dancer.seen"
11:45:00Zagoron the JBMMFirmware forum. someone mailed archos US and asked about open source, and got that response
11:45:18PsycoXulhaha
11:45:41Zagorthe thing is they HAVEN'T approach us. would we turn them down without discussion? hell no!
11:45:54dwihnoThey are lying!
11:46:00dwihnoReply to the originator!
11:46:07PsycoXulwell they said they choose to
11:46:09Zagordid already
11:46:21PsycoXulmaybe they haven't gotten any further than deciding yet :p
11:46:21Zagorthey say more:
11:46:29dwihno"If you help us that much, give us the damned MAS specs!" :)
11:46:38PsycoXulhehe
11:46:38Zagor"In exchange for the source code and instructions, the owners want RockBox to sign an agreement that basically says 'The firmware will not be used in another commercial product except Archos'. RockBox was unwilling to accept this limitation."
11:46:48PsycoXulhaha
11:47:07dwihnoFucked up! :)
11:47:08kargatronhow bizarre - someone, somewhere is just making that up?
11:47:26dwihnoIt might be a spoof
11:47:33dwihnoOn ther other hand, it may be not.
11:47:36ZagorI think that archos guy has mistaken a long ranger as talking for Rockbox
11:47:40Zagorlone ranger
11:47:59Zagori know some retailers have spoken to archos about opening the source.
11:48:11dwihnowithout success?
11:48:34dwihnotheir source code is probably just hacked together by the specs provided by the HW manufacturers :)
11:48:37Zagori don't know. i assumed they would talk to me if they were interested...
11:48:43Zagori haven't heard anything
11:49:31PsycoXuldwihno: my guess is that, at least for players, it is a messy hack/glue job of example code from the various component vendor's sdk's or whatever
11:49:47kargatronhas rockbox 'officially' requested info from archos?
11:49:51kargatronspecs, etc
11:49:53Zagorkargatron: no
11:50:35PsycoXulthat'd be sweet if archos really is interested in helping rockbox along and provides some info on programming the MAS chips
11:50:56dwihno*nods*
11:52:51kargatronstill, regarding the agreement mentioned above, rockbox still wouldn't accept it, right? The agreement seems to basically bar code-reuse for other products.
11:53:25kargatronOr maybe, literally, it's a meaningless restriction, since the firmware as a whole wouldn't be useful on any other product?
11:53:59Zagorwe are already under GPL so it's a bit late trying to put the cat back in the bag...
11:54:14dwihno:-)
11:54:16Zagorbut I would appreciate discussing it with them
11:54:37dwihno<Zagor> Show me the money!
11:54:38Zagori don't think it would be difficult getting them to see the obvious benefits
11:54:44dwihno<Archos-dude> I'll give you cash :-)
11:55:02Zagordwihno: I've got plenty of money, thanks. That's not the issue.
11:56:25kargatronZagor, on my debugging qstn above? can i feasibly provide useful info, if I can dupe the problem?
11:56:55Zagorkargatron: just a good description of how you can make it happen would be useful
11:58:29kargatronreally? i mean, take my above description, and add "30% of the time I jolt it on my desk it happens" (for example) - that would really help? :) doesn't seem like much...
11:58:53dwihnoZagor: Where's the sense of humour :)
11:59:07Zagordwihno: here it is: 8-D
11:59:08Zagor;)
11:59:20dwihnoHere it is: :-|
12:00
12:01:50dwihnoZagor: perhaps the Archos people are scared because of the RockBox progress? :)
12:02:52Zagor:)
12:04:03dwihnoNow if we only could program that MAS!
12:04:18dwihnoI want recording to be done in a RAW format without lossy compression for editing later on
12:05:47kargatronhow much is a run-of-the-mill portable DAT nowadays?
12:06:11Zagordwihno: you can't do 44.1kHz 16 bit anyway. the serial port is too slow
12:06:13kargatroni figured the recorder aspect was only really atttractive because it *did* compress on the fly.
12:07:01dwihnoZagor: *sigh* I guess you can't have everything :)
12:07:12dwihnoNot that I bought the unit for the recording feature :-)
12:09:22ZagorWhat I really want is Multimedia docs. That machine has great hardware.

13:46:26koshHang on a sec.. I will try a mic recording.. not that I think that would mae a difference but hey..
13:46:55koshOeps... have to wait until ths surface check finishes..
13:47:09Zagorand Norton DiskDoctor says the disk is clean and uncorrupt before you start recording?

14:39:40koshZagor: OK.. I guess I found what was wrong.. maybe I misread, but recording stereo is (not yet) possible.. If I do a mono recording it works. As soon as I select stereo the recorder starts, after a second or two the red LED comes on and stays on. Pressing OFF the record icon changes to the stop icon, but the led stays on. Turning off is the only way out (recorder does not recover from record mode). file is (obviously) corrupt.
14:40:17Zagorok, that's useful info. i'll tell Linus
14:41:15koshI will do the full MD recording in mono anyway to see what happens.. see how it handles a shitload of input ;)
14:42:42Zagoryeah, it's a good test
14:43:01koshOh... another thing .. when I record in stereo mode the meters update REAL slow, about 1/4 of the normal frequency

14:52:47dwihnoPANIC!
14:52:48Zagorthat's an mpeg error too
14:52:57dwihnoZagor: for gods sake! do something about the panic!
14:53:04ZagorDON'T PANIC
14:53:05Zagor;)
14:54:06dwihnoTOO LATE RUTH!
14:54:08dwihno:O
14:54:22koshIf I play the file it starts skipping through it.. plays 2 seconds, jumps 5 seconds forward..plays a bit and returns to the start..
14:55:02koshHmmmm now its keeps playing (now at 50 seconds while the file is 17 seconds long..)
14:55:24Zagorkosh: the time info is incorrect. linus has said that from the beginning.
14:55:31Zagorwe don't write time info into the file
14:55:34koshAnd at 1:00 it starts over again
14:55:45Zagorthe sound or the time display?
14:56:11koshthe time display.. Oh well the joys of new features.. ;)
15:00
15:03:38koshZagor: 2nd attempt and still recording.. Would the spindown time have any influence.. I record with poweradaptor plugged in so I might as well not spin down..
15:03:56Zagorspindown should not matter
15:04:01koshok
15:04:22Zagorbut the recording code is Linus' creation. I haven't looked much at it yet.
15:04:27Zagori'm doing the file write code
15:04:50koshok... well sofar the file is being written so.. ;)

15:18:14koshZagor: Well.. I'll get back on this when Linus is around.. Just recorded two 7 minute tracks in one go. Ended up with a file about 2:30 long which has the first part of the first track and then skips to the start of the second. In short.. I am missing about 10 minutes which were not recorded..
15:18:41Zagorare you listening, or just looking at the timer?
15:19:00Zagorignore the time display. it is wrong.
15:20:23koshI am listening.. and I timed it.. Winamp displays the correct playtime.. have not checked on the archos yet.. It just appears a whole chunk was not recorded.. I did not see the LED come on for a long time so that's why I stopped the recording.. I assume the red led should come on every once in a while (when the buffer needs to be written..
15:20:50Zagoryes, about once per 70-90 seconds.
15:21:26Zagorhow big is the file, in MB
15:21:30koshDid not happen.. The recorded file has about 1:30 of the first track.. then it just skips to the beginning of the next
15:21:53koshthe file is 3210 Kbytes
15:22:34Zagorok
15:22:59Zagorwrite a detailed mail to the list. that's the best way.
15:23:13koshok.. I will..
15:23:49kargatroni haven't been keeping track of recording - you can record multiple tracks now?
15:23:59kargatron> Just recorded two 7 minute tracks in one go
15:24:08kargatronor did he mean he was overwriting the second?
15:24:49koshNope.. I just hit record on the archos and play on the MD.. I then wait.... and after two tracks on the MD had played I quit recording..
15:26:36kargatronoh ok

15:56:10Zagorkargatron: have you tried tightening your battery springs?
15:56:57kargatronuh, nope
15:57:15kargatronnever had any indication i needed to mess with the hardware
15:57:41kargatronexcept for when i had to get a cat hair from underneath the display screen. :)
15:57:41Zagorthat could be the cause of your jolt problem
15:57:54kargatronyou mean a power blip?
15:57:57Zagoryes
15:58:15kargatrondo you happen to understand how a power blip could cause the audio interrupt?
15:59:00kargatronand is there anything to 'tightening the batter springs'? most springs are not configurable, ime :)
15:59:26Zagorif a power blip causes the drive to reset itself, we might hang on the read
15:59:54Zagorjust remove your batteries and pull slightly on the spring so it presses more firmly on the batteries
16:00
16:00:18kargatronand, and since the timer is actually not related to the actual data, it's just cruising along, regardless of the data flow?
16:00:24kargatronah, ok, will try, why not

17:26:20Zagorodd
17:26:54koshyup.
17:27:41koshI must say I have had some weird stuff happen when using the archos FW also.. Not the same stuff. But I cannot even record at 48KHz.. the Archos FW goes bezerk then..
17:28:46koshOn 44K1 is goes Ok most of the time, but sometime the archos FW just locks up or starts skipping . other times I can record for 5-6 hours without a hitch..
17:30:20koshI will let the archos record on the mic for a while.. see what happens..
17:31:24AtifearWhats the best prog for doing partitions?

23:05:00koshits more likely to happen if I delete the file through windows instead of let the archos overwrite it seems

23:05:38Zagorhmm
23:06:40koshI tried disabling both recycle bin and Restore on the archos.. the only thing I can think of now is it might have something to do with the fact I have a 2nd NTFS partition on the archos
23:06:47koshbut I doubt it
23:07:31Zagorwell it could, theoretically, be a bug in rockbox... :-)
