08:53:38midkcan this be downloaded?
08:53:49mattzzLinusN: you can find the source at mattzz.dyndns.org/archos/">http://mattzz.dyndns.org/archos/ (I dont have access to CVS)
08:54:12mattzzLinusN: or I can commit it to patchtracker
08:54:26LinusNmattzz: why is is a separate plugin?
08:55:01[IDC]Dragonmattzz: I saw it yesterday, have it running already, nice.
08:55:14mattzzLinusN: because of the grayscale framework overhead. It is about three times slower than the b&w version
08:55:31LinusNcan't they be in the same source file, with some options?
08:55:33[IDC]DragonI still would replace the b/w
08:55:46LinusNgrayscale: on/off
08:56:29mattzzI agree on replacing the b/w version. I dont have a key left for options ;-)

09:15:13LinusNmattzz: you want to replace mandelbrot.c with graubrot.c?
09:15:39mattzzLinusN: makes sense to me
09:16:01[IDC]Dragonyes, but call it mandelbrot still, I'd suggest
09:16:04LinusNi'll do it, and i'll change the attempt to empty the keyboard queue
09:16:09LinusN[IDC]Dragon: yup
09:16:25[IDC]Dragongraubrot was a german joke
09:16:34mattzzyup, better call it mandelbrot
09:16:40[IDC]Dragonbecause "grau" means "gray"
09:17:01mattzzand graubrot is sooo healthy my ma told me.
09:17:22[IDC]Dragonnot schwarzbrot?
09:17:40mattzzschwarzbrot was even worse!
09:18:12mattzztoday I mostly eat toastbrot - as a result

09:22:08[IDC]Dragongotta eat my toastbrot
09:25:36LinusNmattzz: committed
09:26:40amiconnLinusN: Anything new about the lcd code on the player, or the recording code?
09:27:08LinusNwas planning to work on that today
09:28:32[IDC]DragonLCD consolidation?
09:28:38amiconnyep
09:28:56[IDC]DragonI didn't dare to do that, for a lack of a Player
09:29:25amiconnIf my first attempt works on the player (it does on the recorder), I have some further optimization in mind.
09:29:34[IDC]DragonBut I wrote that comment which seemed ta have inspired you ;)
09:29:42amiconnyup.
09:29:55[IDC]DragonI would have only the short loop on the player
09:30:05[IDC]Dragonit's not speed critical
09:30:09amiconnI'm also lacking a player, therefore asked Linus to test.
09:30:18[IDC]Dragonthe unrolled for recorder then
09:32:04amiconnI wanted to leave the unrolled loop for both player & recorder (the IRAM space isn't that tight on the player as Linus told me).

09:34:30 Nick amiconn_ is now known as amiconn (~jens@pD9E7FC77.dip.t-dialin.net)
09:34:38amiconnMy next optimization would be to use the unrolled loop also for command writing (without including it a second time). I estimated that this could give another 3% speedup for lcd_update() / lcd_write_data()
09:35:04[IDC]DragonMr. 3%, haha
09:35:17amiconn;-)
09:35:56[IDC]Dragonthe player needs a different unrolled loop
09:36:11[IDC]Dragonbecause my carry bit trick is not working there
09:36:34[IDC]Dragonso I thought you may just leave the C loop in there
09:36:43[IDC]Dragon(easier to read)
09:38:12amiconnThere is no pure C loop in the current version for the player either
09:39:54[IDC]Dragonah, sorry
09:40:38amiconn(the transfer is done in assembler for both models)
09:41:04[IDC]Dragonjust saw my comment about tilting the LCD buffer, that's outdated, long done.
09:41:26amiconnBut there are different loops for command and data transfer, the command loop is not unrolled currently.
09:41:39amiconnYes, I will take out that comment on the way.
09:41:47[IDC]DragonI know, could be unified.

11:49:40ricflairlinusn, do you know any idea why my jukebox recorder 20 would turn off when pwer gets down to around half way on the battery monitor, and also it seems to go from 100 percent to around 60 percent withing about half an hour to an hour.
11:52:54***Saving seen data "./dancer.seen"
11:53:53amiconn|workricflair: I think one of the battery cells may not be ok. Either you could check this with an external charger that is able to do tests, or simply put in another set of batteries.
11:55:08LinusNricflair: have you checked your battery connector yet?
11:56:14ricflairnot yet linusn, i guess thats going to be the problem isnt it.
11:56:30ricflairamiconn, i dont have the tools to test , so i may just pick up another battery set
11:56:51ricflairi left it charging from ll last night, so its been on for near 12 hours charge now
11:57:02ricflairand it doesnt say charged yet

20:41:04[IDC]DragonJens, r u there?
20:41:57amiconnYup.
20:42:48[IDC]Dragongot a question about your grayscale framework
20:42:50amiconnI've just received the AT&T natural voices along with the german voice. So expect me to build a german.voice this evening.
20:42:58[IDC]Dragonwhoohoo
20:43:03amiconnshoot
20:43:20[IDC]DragonI've just updated the .lang file yesterday
20:43:33amiconnHave seen it.
20:43:36[IDC]Dragonshould be a piece of cake then.
20:44:06amiconnI first have to figure out the process
20:44:38[IDC]Dragonthat's easy
20:45:02[IDC]Dragonabout gray_drawgraymap():
20:45:21[IDC]Dragoncan you introduce a "stride" parameter?
20:45:49[IDC]Dragonso the line distance of the source is independent of the width?
20:45:59[IDC]Dragon(or am I missing something?)
20:46:20amiconnDo you want to show partial bitmaps?
20:46:24[IDC]Dragonyes
20:46:50[IDC]DragonSo I can scroll along a larger one.
20:47:24amiconnThere is not yet a parameter to do that (I didn't think about it), but of course it would be easy to integrate.
20:48:13[IDC]Dragonyes, sure
20:49:08[IDC]Dragoninstead of x and y the stride would be sufficient
20:49:32[IDC]Dragonsrc can point to whereever in the image
20:49:41amiconnI should add that to gray_drawbitmap then as well, for symmetry.
20:50:03[IDC]Dragonah, yes
20:50:37amiconnNo, stride has to be an additional parameter, since x and y define the upper left corner of the destination (on the display)
20:51:04[IDC]Dragonoops, yes
20:53:10amiconnI wonder if I should commit grayscale.c itself, since it is not intended (primarily) for direct use.
20:55:59[IDC]Dragonyou can make an #if 0 around it to prevent it in the distibution.

22:22:31[IDC]Dragonvoice file done?
22:23:07[IDC]Dragon;-)
22:23:14amiconnI wonder which way is better to generate a .voice - lang2textaloud or the .cmd file that uses lang2wav and voicefont

22:23:31 Quit pfavr ("ChatZilla 0.9.52B [Mozilla rv:1.6/1]")
22:23:36[IDC]Dragonlang2wav is recommended
22:23:53[IDC]Dragonmauch quicker and less hassle
22:23:57[IDC]Dragonmuch
22:23:57amiconn(I've already done my first attempt with the .cmd, but the voice file is too big - 2.5 MB
22:24:16amiconn(tried 32 kHz, though)
22:24:23[IDC]Dragonthen you need to increase the -v value
22:24:37[IDC]Dragon32 kHz is definitely too much
22:24:49[IDC]Dragontry −−resample 16
22:25:07[IDC]Dragonand we don't need −−nores any more
22:25:16[IDC]Dragonthis also saves space
22:25:29amiconnIf -V9 is not enough to fit it with 32kHz, I will first try to use −−lowpass nn rather than −−resample nn
22:25:42amiconnYes, −−nores is already thrown out
22:25:55[IDC]Dragon-v does lowpass, this is how it works, iirc
22:26:16[IDC]Dragon32 kHz is way out
22:26:49amiconnused -V 7 now, down to 1.8 MB
22:27:21[IDC]Dragonwhy are you so keen on 32 kHz?
22:27:29[IDC]Dragondigital out user?
22:28:17amiconnNo, I even don't possess any device (other than the Archos) that has an spdif connector. But there may be others that want to use it.
22:28:43[IDC]DragonI've given that up for english long time ago.
22:29:04[IDC]Dragongerman has larger "sentences", so it's worse.
22:29:23amiconnit fits with -V 8 and 32 kHz.
22:29:41[IDC]Dragonit should be <1.5 MB
22:29:56[IDC]Dragondoes it?
22:30:00amiconndown to 1.4 MB
22:30:10[IDC]Dragonwhat did you do?
22:30:24amiconnlame -V 8 −−scale 0.6 -t −−vbr-new −−nohist %%f
22:30:42[IDC]Dragonnothing unusual.
22:31:36[IDC]Dragonpersonally, I'd prefer a lower sample rate and less lossy compression, but well.
22:31:51amiconnBtw: The size is almost equal to your mary.voice
22:32:15[IDC]Dragonmary is 22 kHz
22:32:31[IDC]Dragoncrystal is 16
22:32:31amiconnI will generate several versions with different sample frequencies and compare them.
22:33:04[IDC]Dragongood.
22:33:35amiconnThis sounds really nice!
22:33:50[IDC]Dragoncan you upload one, please?
22:34:28amiconnHmm, the compression is a bit too tight, I get ringing artefacts. Will try with 22 kHz first.
22:45:07amiconnJust detected a funny error in your script (because the Windows shell complained about it) - in line 4 you use as C++-style comment to comment out the "rem" (sic!)
22:45:38[IDC]Dragonoops, in which one?
22:46:13amiconnmake_voicefile_AT&T.cmd
22:46:18mattzzamiconn: the c++ commenting style is hard wired in joergs brain ;-)
22:46:30*mattzz ducks and covers
22:47:32amiconnI should have known, since there are some even in rockbox sources where they shouldn't exist. ;-)
22:47:54[IDC]Dragonit is, I can barely stand the Rockbox coding style
22:48:18[IDC]Dragonvery restrictive, imho

22:50:11[IDC]Dragonhow do you mean?
22:50:27[IDC]Dragon(simple)
22:50:47LinusNpeople have praised us because the source code is easy to understand
22:51:09[IDC]DragonI'm in no way criticising that
22:51:21[IDC]DragonI was after the // comments
22:51:24LinusN"it is, I can barely stand the Rockbox coding style"
22:52:11[IDC]Dragonhehe, no offence
22:52:15LinusN:-)
22:52:41[IDC]Dragonthe // is just in my fingers, mattzz is right
22:53:33[IDC]Dragonand it allows me 3 more precious chars for my comments before they hit the 80 char barrier ;-)
22:54:17amiconn[IDC]Dragon: Is lang2wav unable to generate 16 kHz output directly?
22:54:32[IDC]Dragonamiconn: yes
22:55:09amiconnWould it be possible to integrate 16 kHz (i.e. if the sapi allows that)?
22:55:09[IDC]Dragonthe SAPI output should always run at the "native" output rate of the voice
22:55:17amiconnAh
22:55:22[IDC]DragonMS does a bad job of resampling
22:55:40[IDC]DragonLame is better for that
22:56:27[IDC]Dragonbut what is native, you're right, only experiments can tell where it sounds OK.
22:57:09[IDC]DragonI found 32 kHz for AT+T and 22 kHz for MS best.
22:57:14amiconnI wonder why the high-bandwidth natural voices are called "16 kHz"?
22:57:39[IDC]DragonI think I tried 16, 32 was better.
22:58:17amiconnSo my choice will be (for now) "lame -V 6 −−resample 16 −−scale 0.6 -t −−vbr-new −−nohist"
22:58:34amiconnThis sounds best for german voice "Klara"

23:05:27[IDC]DragonI'm not sure if the display function works for >8 pixel height, the logo is "striped"
23:05:37Bagderit works for 16
23:05:46Bagderbut no more, afair
23:06:21mattzzI want to create a "checkbox" widget
23:06:29mattzz8x8 is fine though
23:06:50Bagderthen use the bmp2rb tool
23:07:27[IDC]Dragonor think binary
23:07:43[IDC]Dragon(that's how I did icons)
23:08:59mattzzalready have thought binary - but just 8 bits wide ;-) like in the good ol' days
23:09:38amiconnAs I get some pronounciation problems for German, how is this supposed to be corrected - should I change the spelling in the .lang file to get it correct?
23:10:00amiconn(May look strange sometimes)
23:10:12[IDC]Dragonchange it like what?
23:10:27[IDC]Dragonreal misspellings, or just hyphens?
23:10:56amiconnSometimes deliberate misspellings would be necessary.
23:11:17[IDC]DragonI haven't done such yet
23:11:49amiconnI would do that, I'm just asking if this would be "the right way" (tm)
23:11:49[IDC]Dragonthat's why resume is like resumé
23:12:16 Quit Bagder ("Leaving")
23:12:29[IDC]Dragonthere's no right way yet
23:12:57[IDC]Dragonhowever, I'd say that such is specific to a certain TTS engine
23:13:06 Join Bagder [0] (~daniel@c25025a.hud.bostream.se)
23:13:18[IDC]Dragonso, non-portable
23:14:43amiconnYes, that's why I ask. Some mispronounciations are engine dependent, while others come from using foreign words that are spoken german-ish, like "byte", "ampere" etc.
23:14:46[IDC]Dragonwhen I did the german for the L&H voice, I was also adjusting
23:15:04[IDC]DragonEverything had to be very german
23:16:48[IDC]Dragonthat's why I couldn't use established foreighn words like: playlist, frame
23:17:01mattzzBagder: bmp2rb does a nice job!
23:17:40Bagder:-)
23:18:57amiconn[IDC]Dragon: So what do you think would be best? There are some words in that are not easily replacable, like "loudness".
23:20:16[IDC]DragonI wouldn't try to be perfect
23:20:26scott666could you just use english strings inside of voice files of other languages?
23:20:41scott666err, not strings, clips
23:20:58mattzzBagder: <whisper> but it prints one comma too much in the last line </whisper>
23:21:04[IDC]Dragonand have different speakers?
23:21:06Bagderhehe
23:21:14scott666yeah

23:21:56mattzzBagder: I know, I know
23:21:57amiconnscott666: This would be possible if the whole clip contains words of the same language (although it would sound strange with different voices)
23:22:27[IDC]Dragonyou can mix manually before running "voicefont"
