#rockbox log for 2005-06-10

00:00:14amiconnIt seems that after a while (perhaps caused by some volume adjusting) the decoder can't follow
00:00:29preglowflac needs a lot of work done to it
00:00:34preglowit doesn't even touch iram as it is
00:00:39amiconnThe red led is blinking irregularly, and playback starts & stops
00:00:46preglowi did the lpc opt, but i don't think that helped very much
00:01:14*amiconn just encoded an album with flac to try out flac
00:01:26amiconnDidn't see a single flac file before...
00:01:30preglowheh
00:01:34preglowyou don't see them often, no
00:01:40 Quit midk_ ("later...")
00:01:42preglowkeep in mind that higher encoding quality == slower decoding
00:01:45linuxstbamiconn: What options did you use with FLAC? What bitrate is Rockbox displaying?
00:01:47[solid]preglow: unless you're into lossless :P
00:01:53amiconnHmm. Now it happens again, within the same file :(
00:01:55*[solid] has 50 dvd-rs full of flac
00:02:03preglow[solid]: not many are, mostly people recording live stuff
00:02:15amiconnlinuxstb: I used -8. Rockbox displays 959 kbps for that track
00:02:26preglowamiconn: what realtime percentage does flac2wav give that file?
00:02:27linuxstbamiconn: I use the same.
00:02:27[solid]amiconn: maybe it's the same skipping bug i was telling Slasheri about?
00:02:46[solid]amiconn: it happened more often with oog vorbis here tho'
00:03:06amiconnThe progress bar occasionally jumps to zero and back to current position when that happens
00:03:10 Quit DangerousDan (Read error: 110 (Connection timed out))
00:03:38[solid]oh so it's not the same
00:04:04Bagderthe flac site only lists iAudio and Rio Karma as portable players that play flac
00:04:30preglowthose or the only two as far as i know
00:04:34linuxstbBagder: Time to send Josh Coalson an email...
00:04:42preglowwe'll be the first to play musepack and wavpack
00:04:48[solid]preglow: yeah ~~
00:04:57preglowand possibly he-aac
00:05:00preglowif i can make it work
00:05:18amiconnHmm. It seems the files with lower bitrate are consuming more cpu
00:05:25preglowamiconn: like i said
00:05:34preglowamiconn: higher compression may mean more cpu for flac
00:05:39preglowamiconn: since it uses higher lpc orders
00:05:44amiconnThe next track didn't stutter so far, but the red led is blinking since the start of the track
00:05:59amiconn..which is > 2:30 now
00:06:12BagderI noticed that it blinks quite a long time
00:06:15preglowamiconn: you can try optimising the default case in colfire.S for a good asm excercise
00:06:20amiconnSeems it can just even cope to with loading
00:06:38amiconn3 minutes now, it stopped blinking
00:06:46[solid]amiconn: weird... i've been playing a lot of flac with no such problems
00:06:47bill20r3the iAudio X5 supports flac, although I dont know if it's actually shipping yet
00:06:55[solid]amiconn: including 8hrs yesterday ;)
00:06:56preglowit is in korea
00:07:49linuxstbIf I just start FLACs playing and do nothing, then they carry on fine. It's only when I try to do other things that things go wrong (seemingly randomly).
00:07:49Bagderthe iAudios seems _so_ much like iriver clones
00:08:01bill20r3yeah
00:08:06preglowflac runs very marginally for some files, there's a huuuge difference between the files that run well and those that don't
00:08:15bill20r3did everyone see the $150 jukeboxes ?
00:08:19bill20r3refurbs probablly
00:08:37preglowBagder: let's hope they are so internally as well ;)
00:08:42Bagderthey are
00:08:42crwli think my friend just ordered an iAudio X5
00:08:48amiconnlinuxstb: Trying the problematic track with flac2wav now...
00:08:52crwlmy friend here at finland, ordered from germany
00:08:53BagderI saw some details somewhere
00:08:57preglowBagder: they share more than the coldfire?
00:09:13BagderI don't recall, but the coldfire was what triggered me
00:09:22[solid]preglow: i didn't have problems even with 1100kbps -8 files...
00:09:39preglow[solid]: i can't see a common factor for the slow and fast files here
00:09:54preglow[solid]: i've got two files, both encoded at -8, one gives 180% realtime, the other 110% realtime
00:10:00[solid]oh.
00:10:24amiconnpreglow: With .wav writing enabled or disabled?
00:10:36preglowamiconn: for flac i doesn't much matter, afaik
00:10:49preglowmight as well keep it enabled to "simulate" the overhead of buffering
00:11:00amiconn...cause... until now... this track decodes at... ~38% (!!)
00:11:10preglowthat's at 49mhz
00:11:14preglowkick the unit up a notch
00:11:20amiconnHmm, doesn't it boost itself?
00:11:21preglowxxx2wav doesn't do that automatically
00:12:08amiconnOkay, trying again...
00:12:12preglowbut yeah, people who want flac playback should start working on it
00:12:16linuxstbpreglow: Maybe doing "flac -a" on the file will give some clues. It produces a "track.ana" text file containing information about how each frame is encoded.
00:12:19preglowit needs tons of work, and the autor hasn't made it easy
00:12:30preglowwith his malloc hell
00:12:34 Join ashridah [0] (ashridah@220-253-120-9.VIC.netspace.net.au)
00:13:12amiconnpreglow: Small wonder it stutters. This track decodes at <100 % even at 120 MHz
00:13:21amiconn~95% currently
00:13:27linuxstbpreglow: If I remember correctly, the mallocs are quite limited - i.e. it should be relatively easy to replace them with static buffers. But it was a few months ago when I looked at it.
00:13:33[solid]amiconn: what music is that?:)
00:13:42amiconnABBA
00:13:46[solid]who
00:13:47[solid]a
00:14:08[solid]abba being too complicated for realtime playback sounds... sad :)
00:14:09preglowlinuxstb: it even uses realloc
00:14:17preglowabbagabba
00:14:56linuxstbpreglow: Yes, but I think some of them are only for metadata. Would it help if I tried to replace the alloc/realloc calls with static buffers?

00:15:07preglowof course
00:15:10preglowthen you can see what fits in iram
00:15:12preglowand anyway:
00:15:22preglowgetting rid of malloc and realloc is a major goal for codecs

00:15:30preglowwe don't want to keep a malloc buffer around
00:15:47linuxstbBut with the downside of forking the code to far from the official codebase.
00:15:59preglowwell, that's up to you ;)

00:16:37Bagderhahahaha
00:16:49Bagderwikipedia's page on ipod

00:17:17preglowsomeone get to work on flac
00:17:28preglowhaha
00:18:01preglowbut people
00:18:08preglowthe stuttering of flac is no surprise
00:18:12preglowflac has seen almost no optimising
00:18:13preglowso get to work

00:18:46 Join Zoom2 [0] (~44dfcca3@labb.contactor.se)
00:18:57amiconnThere's plenty of time to process the headers
00:18:58preglowBagder: i assume you're updating the page as we speak? :P
00:19:25Bagdernah, too much ipodaganda
00:19:41Bagderwouldn't know where to start
00:19:59[solid]hey, that music quiz game sounds nice:)
00:20:06[solid]never knew about it
00:20:12linuxstbDo the ipod-linux people have gapless playback?
00:20:20preglowthey barely have playback
00:20:32Bagderthey have sometimes-playback
00:20:35preglowi guess their gapless status depends on mpd
00:21:02linuxstbOK :-).
00:21:09Bagderactually, I believe they can play CBR mp3 in realtime
00:21:18preglowthey can do aac in realtime as well
00:21:26preglowin addition to vorbis, sometimes
00:22:14Bagdertheir choice of using linux won't help them get the most of their little cpu
00:22:18preglowindeed no
00:22:26preglowi don't get that part of the deal
00:22:49preglowpreemptive multitasking wont make their task easier either
00:23:23preglowand last, mpd most certainly wont help them conserve cpu
00:24:28preglowflac -8 consistently uses 12 sample long lpc sequences
00:24:57 Join zezayer [0] (~chatzilla@82.110.136.210)
00:25:26preglowlinuxstb: but yeah, if you wanna help flac speed up a bit, search for critical data that can be put in iram
00:25:47preglowdata that is accessed again and again
00:26:00preglowlike lpc coefs, temporary audio data and codebooks
00:26:24 Join spiralout [0] (~keep_goin@p54B3876A.dip0.t-ipconnect.de)
00:26:35linuxstbI've already done that in one place in codecflac.c (can someone have a quick check I did it correctly?). I'll try and look at libFLAC as well.
00:27:11ashridahi'm amazed that they've even got enough memory to do the job
00:27:27preglowlinuxstb: looks good
00:27:59preglowlinuxstb: it's bloody big, though, eats over half the iram in one chunk
00:28:59linuxstbRemind me how big the iram is?
00:29:10preglowthe current codec section is 32kg
00:29:11preglowkb
00:29:29linuxstbHeavy.
00:29:34 Join cheriff_AWAY [0] (davem666@wagner.orchestra.cse.unsw.EDU.AU)
00:30:53bill20r3has anyone ever done hardware mods to increase the ram?
00:31:01linuxstbMaybe a change could be to make FLAC produce the audio data directly in the correct format for Rockbox - i.e. not as one 32-bit array per channel (storing 16-bit values).
00:31:05bill20r3seems like if the players could buffer more it'd help battery life a lot.
00:31:55amiconnbill20r3: The iriver already has a relatively big ram.
00:32:18amiconnBigger ram means more audio data can be buffered, so less disk spinups are necessary
00:32:41*ashridah imagines that finding ram with the same pinout but a larger size would be interesting.
00:32:43amiconnOtoh, more ram is worse if you change your mind and start playing another directory or playlist
00:32:51preglowoh yes
00:32:58preglowif you listen to entire albums, it could be good
00:33:21amiconnThen all this preloaded audio data is discarded
00:33:53amiconnThe gain might be smaller than one might expect
00:34:26preglowyeah
00:34:32amiconnOn archos, increasing the ram to 8 MB (from the default 2 MB) increases runtime by ~25 % (with 192 kbps mp3)
00:34:33preglowi don't think there'd be much gain at all, actually
00:34:52amiconn(On disk based units of course)
00:34:54preglowwell, the archos is a pretty extreme example with its 2mb of ram (default)
00:35:12linuxstbMore RAM would help FLAC though?
00:35:26Bagdernow, if we could get more iram... :-P
00:35:29amiconnYeah, and even there it's only 25% by quadrupling the buffer ram
00:35:54preglowwe probably can use more iram for codecs
00:36:01amiconnThe buffer is actually more than quadrupled, since the firmware takes some ram too
00:36:03preglowbut we need to find out how much everything else needs first
00:36:31preglowthe codecs actually use more than 32kb as it is, the stack needs to be pretty large for some codecs as well
00:36:37preglowlike libmad
00:36:56amiconnHmm, now that you mention it...
00:37:17amiconn...maybe the IllIstr reported earlier is actually caused by a stack overflow?
00:37:30amiconnThe address range was in iram iirc
00:37:48preglowmight very well be, what codec was used?
00:38:17preglowamiconn: indeed, it was iram
00:38:32preglowamiconn: but very early in iram, the stack is placed later than that
00:38:47preglowbut then, it does grow downward...
00:39:04amiconn...and the stack check still isn't enabled on iriver, is it?
00:39:11preglowdon't think so
00:40:23preglowhaha

00:41:45amiconndoom 1 & 2 might very well run on iriver, but require some graphics squeezing
00:41:51preglowi think they'd run just fine
00:42:09preglowthey ran well on 33mhz 486, for chrissake
00:42:14amiconndoom even runs on 50 MHz Amiga, even with c2p conversion
00:42:23linuxstbWell, the source code is there (at the bottom of the page mentioned in the email)....
00:42:26amiconnThey even did on 386/40
00:42:26preglowc2p? as in c to pascal?
00:42:36amiconnchunky-to-planar
00:42:46preglowthank god
00:43:25amiconnNative Amiga graphics is bitplane oriented, but usually 3d engines output chunky pixels
00:43:30preglowsomeone insane enough is certain to come by one day

00:45:01amiconnThe H-1X0 screen is not exactly suited for action games though
00:45:06preglowgod, no
00:45:12preglowi don't think the h3x0 screen is either
00:45:27preglowbut still, the novelty value alone is worth the effort of porting it, hehe
00:47:09XavierGrdoes wps supports different fonts for different lines?
00:47:16Bagderno
00:47:30Bagderwe're waiting for your multi-font patch! ;-)
00:47:52XavierGrI am thinking writting something like that
00:47:56XavierGror at least try
00:47:59preglowhaha
00:48:10preglowhow much memory does a font consume, averageish?
00:48:16Bagder2-3K
00:48:21*ashridah fondly remembers playing doom on a 386 laptop with a greyscale LCD screen
00:48:25preglownot bad
00:48:29XavierGrhey dont laugh at a starters try
00:48:39ashridahmy god that was sickening. turn and "BLURRRRRRRRRRR" <ashridah> "ARGHL, My eyes!"
00:48:54Bagderbut I'd imaging supporting two or max three fonts
00:49:02preglowit would be kinda cool
00:49:23XavierGryes that is what I mean
00:49:29*amiconn tries enabling stov check...
00:49:33amiconn*stkov
00:49:35XavierGrto support 3-5 five generic defualt fonts for wps
00:49:45preglowwe'll be cloning the iriver gui in no time
00:49:54preglownot that's it's worth cloning...
00:50:01XavierGrwhat about plugin fonts too
00:50:05amiconnMeh, please don't
00:50:13XavierGrthis should be extra handy for new plugins
00:50:31preglowbut people will be requesting custom widgets before long
00:50:43Bagderyes
00:50:54Bagderbut if we just don't read misticriver, we'll feel better ;-)
00:50:57XavierGris there any manual for all the api functions that Rockbox has?
00:51:14preglowoh, they'll find us, don't worry
00:51:21BagderXavierGr: nopes
00:51:52preglowargh, my beer's gone
00:51:53XavierGrat least a list with all supported functions maybe?
00:51:59BagderXavierGr: nopes
00:52:04XavierGr:(
00:52:11Bagderfeel free to start writing one
00:52:18XavierGrthen how do developers know which functions is supported
00:52:22preglowheaders
00:52:23amiconnHuh? With the stkov check enabled, rockbox immediately crashes at boot with IllInstr at 00000000 ??!!
00:52:25XavierGr^are

00:52:57preglow*shruggage
00:54:28XavierGrwhat files do you think that I have to mod except wps.c to intergrate multi-font support?
00:55:19Bagderwps-display.c
00:55:32amiconnfont.c, lcd-*.c, ....
00:55:41XavierGrargh!
00:55:59Bagderit isn't a small and easy thing to fix
00:56:08Bagderyou're up for a bite
00:56:30XavierGrAnd I know nothing about Rockbox workings great :(
00:56:44Bagderwell, most people start at that point
00:57:26XavierGrI remember that I encountered an putsxy function with four arguments in the API documentation
00:57:35XavierGrthe 4th argument asked font name
00:57:50XavierGrbut normal putsxy has only 3
00:58:01amiconnThere is no such function
00:58:18amiconnThere is lcd_putsxyofs() which has 4 arguments
00:58:29XavierGrand what does it do?
00:58:47amiconn..the additional one being an offset, to chop off n pixels at the left
00:59:03XavierGrnothing to do with fonts then
00:59:03amiconn...used in the scroll thread(s)
00:59:35Bagderlcd_setfont() sets which font to use

01:48:56amiconnIn that case, switch_thread pushes one register onto the stack, however, this will cause havoc as switch_thread is manipulating the context, i.e. the stack pointer...

02:00:54XavierGrhmm for wps intergration two major changes must occur
02:01:26XavierGrfirst I need to rewrite font.c to initialize more fonts
02:02:02XavierGrthen I have to write a funstion to lcd.c that has an argument font type
02:02:20XavierGrand then change wps code to use this new function
02:02:56XavierGrall this is very theoritical from a quick view of lcd-h100.c and font.c
02:03:20amiconn..and change the scroll thread to cope with more than one font displayed at once
02:03:35XavierGrone at a time amiconn!
02:03:43 Join webguest22 [0] (~51429ed6@labb.contactor.se)
02:03:48XavierGrI dont think that I can make it
02:03:52webguest22hi all
02:03:53amiconnIf you only display one font, why do you need more than one?
02:04:28XavierGrbut in the wps we need to display multiple fonts
02:04:49amiconnYes, so the scroll thread must be able to handle that
02:05:02XavierGrofcourse
02:05:29XavierGrbut fisrt we must make a function like putsxy that can take a font argument
02:05:38amiconnnope
02:05:47XavierGrwhy?
02:06:12amiconnIt doesn't make sense to always pass paramaters which don't change that often
02:06:46amiconnInstead, it is better to have a separate function to set the font, which is then used in subsequent calls until it is changed again
02:06:53XavierGrthen make lcd_font take more that 2 options
02:07:06amiconnYes, and that's the easiest part
02:07:20XavierGrI cant even imagine the hard
02:07:56XavierGrwhat if I write something like this in a plugin:
02:08:14XavierGrlcd_setfont(FONT_SYSFIXED)
02:08:16 Part sandstorm
02:08:34XavierGrlcd_putsxy(0,10,'test')
02:08:50XavierGrlcd_setfont(FONT_UI)
02:09:10XavierGrlcd_putsxy(0,20,'test')
02:09:34amiconnThis will of course work and display your texts with the 2 available fonts
02:09:40XavierGryes
02:09:57amiconn...because lcd_putsxy(), lcd_putsxyofs() and lcd_puts()
02:10:08webguest22amiconn: scuse for this question, but what's about your much ideas about API graphical and grayscale please
02:10:26amiconn...are all 'fire and forget', i.e. they just paint some graphics
02:10:43 Quit _aLF ("Leaving")
02:11:00amiconn...but this won't work for lcd_puts_scroll(), as this one uses the scroll thread, and has to redraw continuously
02:11:11XavierGrso if setfont can take more than 2 options we could make plugins to be able to print different fonts
02:11:22amiconn...and we surely want scrolling lines in the wps, don't we?
02:11:34XavierGryeah I guess sscrolling will be hard!
02:11:41 Quit webguest22 ("CGI:IRC")
02:12:49amiconnXavierGr: In fact, current rockbox uses both fonts at once in some cases
02:12:58XavierGrdo you think that changeing setfont options will be easy?
02:13:27amiconn...e.g. the status line always uses FONT_SYSFIXED (for numeric battery/ volume display, and also for time display on archos recorder)
02:13:39XavierGrinteresting
02:13:52amiconn...while the file browser of wps use FONT_UI
02:13:56amiconn*or

02:14:32amiconnsetfont() itself is trivial; font_load() requires a bit more work
02:14:42XavierGryeah
02:15:03amiconnThen there is the question how to let the user select more than one font without confusing him
02:15:17XavierGrin the wps?
02:15:31amiconnNo, I mean how to select the font
02:15:37ashridahhave a system font, a title font, and some other font?
02:15:51amiconnCurrently we have 'browse fonts' which selects FONT_UI
02:16:38XavierGrbut the user will not be bothered about the other fonts? Only the wps (or the plugins which is the programmer that makes the choice) will be open for users
02:16:42*ashridah nods
02:16:50amiconnMy idea (which might be a little easier) was to try adding font styles first.
02:17:06amiconn(bold, underline, and perhaps italic)
02:17:37amiconnXavierGr: The user will need a way to select the additional fonts
02:17:52 Quit ]RowaN[ ()
02:17:54XavierGrfor what purpose except the wps?
02:18:05amiconnYes, for wps
02:18:11amiconnThey still need to be selected
02:18:23XavierGrin the wps we can make tokens like %f1 %f2
02:18:36XavierGrthat corresponds to a fixed size font
02:18:45amiconnYes. But how do you map f1 to e.g. atadore.fnt?
02:18:48XavierGrand will be loaded per line
02:19:04XavierGrthese values will be fixed

02:19:32amiconn5 ??!!??
02:19:39XavierGror less maybe?
02:20:19amiconnIf they're fixed, who should decide about them?
02:20:43amiconnBtw, I like the current concept way more. The user selects which font to use
02:21:00XavierGrbut nothing will change for that
02:21:29amiconnYes it will if you want predefined fonts for the wps
02:22:02XavierGrpredefined fonts will come into place when someone will utilize the %f1 token for that exact line
02:22:30XavierGrthe rest of it should remain as is between the fixed and ui font
02:22:36amiconnHmm
02:24:32XavierGrso you can have the tiny fixed font of rockbox (for values that are not so crucial to the eye from a distance) and then you can use an %f token for information you want to fill the screen

05:57:08webguest79Hi everyone, just curious... is there any reason why some of the custom WPS's in the gallery show a little symbol that looks like an angstrom symbol?
05:58:36webguest79for example, Flol's wps screen has little A's just before every dot
06:00
06:00:14zewhere?
06:02:30Zoom2yeah I dont see it
06:02:40webguest79seems to appear everywhere
06:03:04webguest79http://www.rockbox.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/WpsGallery#FloL
06:03:22Zoom2what browser are you using?
06:03:44webguest79see those dots between all the numbers? I have a little angstrom symbol between everything
06:03:49webguest79sorry, I meant on the iriver itself
06:04:01webguest79the browser shows what I want to see, but the iriver shows a little angstrom between everything
06:04:25Zoom2oh, I am not sure, havent used that WPS
06:04:53webguest79well, that friendly little symbol appears in almost all the wps screens
06:05:01webguest79Tang's screen shows the same symbol just before the first line
06:05:55Zoom2are you using the most current rockbox?
06:06:15webguest79yeah, bleeding edge actually
06:06:20webguest79I wanted to try the crossfader
06:07:11Zoom2I am using one from last nite, I will try updating it later and see if I have the same problem - its not with me right now
06:18:59webguest79ok, so it's definitely related to fonts, because if I change to a different font, the char disappears
06:26:03Rickwhat font?
06:33:36webguest79the rockbox_default font gives me the angstrom, some of the others give me a weird symbol for the dot, others don't have a dot, some display correctly, and others have the angstrom as well
06:33:39webguest79I tried a lot of them
06:40:14webguest79well, if anyone else notices this, or finds a solution, just leave a message. I'll search the logs... gnite everyone!

08:22:15amiconnLinusN: I know why rockbox on iriver immediately crashes when the stack overflow check in switch_thread() is activated.
08:22:42LinusNyes, i know that too
08:22:49amiconnThe rockbox scheduler has a bug (or rather: design problem) depending on how this function is compiled
08:23:11 Nick QT_ is now known as QT (as@area51.users.madwifi)
08:23:16LinusNgcc save an extra register when adding the stack check
08:23:20amiconnWe already have a possible solution - do it like jyp did on the gmini
08:24:18amiconnDoing most of the context save on the stack is debatable; it has both advantages and disadvantages
08:24:35amiconnI mean the 'started' flag
08:24:59 Quit Seed (Read error: 145 (Connection timed out))
08:25:48LinusNyeah. i'm not particularly fond of his solution, but it works
08:25:56 Join Harpy [0] (OPaYXSY74P@dsl-hkigw7wbb.dial.inet.fi)
08:27:47amiconnI think the started flag, and doing the first call with a direct jump is in fact a cleaner solution than to 'craft' a return address on the stack and the let the return do the work
08:28:19amiconnAs I said, the second part of this solution (saving most registers on the stack) is debatable
08:28:27 Join webguest98 [0] (~c31ce021@labb.contactor.se)
08:28:47amiconnIt saves space in the context save array, so having a higher max_threads doesn't eat that much iram
08:29:10amiconnOtoh a thread's stack might not be in iram, making the context switch a bit slower
08:29:52LinusNyup
08:30:06dwihno\o/
08:31:25amiconnFor the extra register problem, there is another solution, but it's still dirty imho. We could put the crafted return address on the stack twice in create_thread()
08:35:40amiconnI'd prefer the 'started' flag though
08:36:40amiconnOur current solution is highly compiler dependent
08:36:46*LinusN has an H100 now
08:36:50LinusNamiconn: yes it is
08:37:30amiconnWhat do you think about that flag? I'd really like to have a working overflow check....
08:37:46LinusNsure, why not?
08:39:14amiconnI *could* also be done for sh, although not necessary due to the many scratch registers, but it would unify the code (?)
08:40:05amiconnI think about coding the check in load_context() in one asm block, i.e. possibly more efficiently than using 2 asm blocks and doing the check in C
08:40:59Slasherihi
08:41:54LinusNamiconn: that's also an alternative
08:41:58LinusNSlasheri: hi
08:42:25amiconnLinusN: ???
08:42:40amiconnDo you mean coding the whole switch_thread() in asm ?
08:42:48LinusNyes
08:43:55LinusNhmmm, what happens if you move the panic call to a void tpanic(void) function?
08:45:05amiconnHmm. That might work, although it's still compiler dependent

09:32:24SlasheriLinusN: yes i am :)
09:32:42LinusNi wondwr about your cpu_boost fix
09:32:55SlasheriHmm, which one?
09:32:56LinusNyou can cpu_boost(false) in the init
09:32:58LinusNcall
09:33:34LinusNin pcm_playback.c
09:33:41Slasheriah, yes. I did that in audio_init but i am not sure why the cpu was originally boosted at startup
09:34:03LinusNi think we should find the real cause of it rather than "painting it over"
09:34:53Slasherithat's true
09:35:37SlasheriHmm, btw i might know what calls it
09:36:09***Saving seen data "./dancer.seen"
09:36:22SlasheriWhen the sample full of zeros is played at startup and buffer goes empty, pcm watermark callback is called and that will boost the cpu..
09:38:27SlasheriHmm, maybe pcm_boost false could be added to dma_stop so that would unboost cpu everytime playing stops?
09:38:33LinusNwhy is that played btw?
09:38:52SlasheriThere is a really bad dc offset unless something is played..
09:38:54LinusNremember that cpu_boost() is stacked
09:39:22Slasheri(that's only on headphone jack, not on line-out)
09:39:23LinusNeach cpu_boost(true) must have a matching cpu_boost(false)
09:39:55Slasheriyep, pcm_boost keeps that in order
09:40:20 Join markun [0] (~markun@bastards.student.utwente.nl)
09:41:09LinusNmaybe the pcm watermark callback should only call cpu_boost() if it knows that it is really needed
09:41:42markunI sugest not turn on the headphone amplifyer at all until playing starts, if we can turn on the amp quietly.
09:41:43SlasheriHmm, it calls pcm_boost and that will check if it's needed
09:42:13LinusNstill it leaves the cpu boosted
09:42:16Slasherimarkun: I don't know if it's possible at all to turn it on quietly..
09:42:17LinusNit seems
09:42:35LinusNSlasheri: the iriver firmware seems to handle it well
09:43:06markunyes, but I still couldn't find out how to do it. Spend a lot of time reading the uda1380 datasheet yesterday.
09:43:12markunspent
09:43:25SlasheriLinusN: I will try to move the pcm_boost to dma_stop, maybe that will fix all the boost issues :)
09:45:20markunMaybe instead of the uda1380_init functions we should have a more fine-grained control of which parts to turn on and of as needed.
09:49:11markunDon't know if it saves a lot of battery. When turned on the dac+headphone draw 9 mA, is that a lot compared to wat the other iriver components draw?

09:54:01LinusNmarkun: no, not soon
09:55:19SlasheriZoom2: partially if you enable it. But the crossfading period is quite short, something like 2-3 seconds
09:55:32SlasheriIncreasing it would require also increasing audio buffer size
09:56:03Zoom2so if we increase the "skip mode" the crossfade will increase?
09:56:14LinusNi noticed that it could snip off a fraction of the end of the song in non-crossfading mode
09:56:26Slasheri"skip mode" does nothing at the moment
09:56:36Zoom2I thought that controlled the buffer
09:56:46LinusNZoom2: on the archos, yes
09:56:48Slasherimaybe it will in future :)
09:56:52Zoom2ahh
09:57:01LinusNZoom2: currently it doesn nothing
09:57:04LinusNon the iriver
09:57:14Zoom2well good work on the crossfade regardless, I was so excited to see that as a possibility
09:57:32Zoom2all my music is sounding better on the rockbox firmware
09:57:48Slashericurrently the buffer is 1 MiB but it should be possible to change the size on the fly (that would require at least restarting audio playback)
09:58:50dwihnoMan, I need to get a ihp-140 asap :)
09:59:06Zoom2do we know what causes the crossfade to work/not work?
09:59:18Zoom2all I notice is a slight "skip" in the next song that plays
09:59:29Zoom2although gapless is looking good
10:00
10:01:41Slasherithe crossfade might be slightly buggy at the moment
10:02:29Slasheriand you will hear only a skip if there is some gap between the songs
10:02:56Slasherithat because the crossfade buffer is too short..
10:03:53Zoom2ahh, I am guessing that is not a major change?
10:04:48Slasherinope, the buffer size should be soon configurable :)
10:04:56Zoom2nice
10:05:23Zoom2another random question, I was searching on the webpage for but couldnt find an answer... the "battery capacity" option does what exactly?
10:05:32Zoom2yeay! the crossfade worked for one of my songs
10:05:35Zoom2that made me happy
10:05:57LinusNZoom2: it tells rockbox the capacity of the battery, so it can calculate the battery percentage correctly
10:06:38Zoom2and on the iriver 120 what should it be?
10:06:47Zoom2I think I had changed it by accident
10:07:15LinusN1300

10:15:25SlasheriZoom2: I am not sure, i think not
10:15:28Zoom2yes, I am using the latest bleeding edge
10:15:56Zoom2with crossfade enabled
10:16:33Slasheridid you do anything else like file seeking, next/prev etc. while listening?
10:16:37Zoom2what I was doing before was skipping tracks manually to get to a song I wanted in the playlist because it had stopped randomly in the middle of the song
10:16:37linuxstbSlasheri: [solid] and I experienced different behaviour yesterday with crossfade on and off, but I haven't been able to reproduce them since your last set of fixes. But it could still be an issue.
10:17:02SlasheriZoom2: Hmm, interesting
10:17:18Zoom2Same issue happend with you?
10:17:52Slasherilinuxstb: yep, i am still trying to figure that out.. No luck so far reproducing it :/
10:20:20Zoom2The onlything I was doing was skipping numerous tracks to get to the one I wanted at the time, let that play full and then things got weird. I didnt do any other "extra" behavior. no FW or Rewind
10:20:57Zoom2and this was all in a "playlist"
10:21:02SlasheriZoom2: ok, i will try that
10:21:44Zoom2I will brb though
10:24:12linuxstbSlasheri: I started a directory (of FLACs) playing. I skipping forward/back a few times (which worked) and then let it play. It then stopped playing after a couple of minutes and next/prev didn't work any more. I pressed stop, and then play again in the same directory, and after a lot of disk activity, there is still no sound. The elapsed time indicator is staying at zero.
10:24:53linuxstbAh, attempting to seek in my FLAC file brings it back to life.
10:26:11Zoom2was taking some sleeping pills, back now - let me see if I can reproduce it

10:34:57ashridahi've been finding that mp3s are still skipping the last chunk of a track when changing to the next one.
10:36:03linuxstbashridah: Even with the very latest builds? Is that with crossfade on or off?
10:36:23ashridahoff
10:36:26ashridahand yes
10:36:30webguest98markun: thanks
10:36:31linuxstbSlasheri's fixes last night fixed that problem for me (with FLAC files).
10:36:32Zoom2I dont know if this is related, but I think if you "jump tracks" faster than it buffers the first 10 tracks you run into problems
10:36:34ashridahthe two tracks are part of the same cd
10:36:43Zoom2I am using mp3 files
10:37:18SlasheriZoom2: ah, thanks. trying that
10:37:19linuxstbI have a good test CD (a radio recording - DJ talking over the starts and ends of tracks) so it's easy to spot if the gapless playback is not 100% perfect.
10:37:40linuxstbAnd it's currently perfect.
10:38:42Zoom2yeah it just stops "jumping" after so many songs
10:39:14Zoom2only way to get outta the frozen screen is to hit stop
10:39:14ashridahit's definently broken here. the WPS display changes to the next track before it starts playing and sits at 0 for a few, then all of a sudden, it skips the last block (and possibly the first block of the next track) without joining them together.
10:39:46linuxstbashridah: I get the same "WPS changing too early" problem. But the audio is fine (with FLAC).
10:41:43ashridahodd. it seems to actually be misguessing the length of the track
10:42:15ashridahthe track claims to be 9:18 on the iriver, but 10:11 normally
10:44:30ashridahah, no, it's not getting the length wrong
10:44:33ashridahthe other app was :)
10:44:35Zoom2yeah I reproduced it again, this time outside of a playlist - just jumping tracks in a folder
10:44:48Zoom2settings are all the same though
10:44:50B4gderrockbox does the same
10:45:01B4gdera dir or playlist is no difference internally
10:45:08ashridahZoom2: i think there's a couple of things that are broken while it's in the process of buffering
10:45:14Zoom2I had figured, just thought I would try it out
10:45:49Zoom2I presume that a "buffered" track loads instead of the inteded "shuffled" track
10:46:12Zoom2because when the HD stop spinning it doesnt respin for the song after
10:46:22B4gderI doubt that
10:46:45B4gderthe code asks for the next song and that is loaded
10:46:45Zoom2because I played a few seconds of the intro song, and last night I was told it buffers the first 10 tracks or so
10:46:54ashridahthe problem is, the two tracks i'm getting this problem with are largish, i can't put them anywhere that won't attract attention :(
10:47:02Zoom2but I skipped at least 9 or 10 tracks
10:47:15ashridahZoom2: it'll depend on how big the tracks are
10:47:16Zoom2how large?
10:47:53Zoom2ashrdah: do you mean all the tracks that are being buffered from the first song? or the song I am playing
10:48:28ashridahZoom2: well, no, i mean the number of tracks that can be buffered will depend on how big they are
10:48:29Zoom2because the odd part is, after it skipps to the wrong song, it goes back to the song I had "seeked" but updates the next song ment to be played correctly
10:49:57Zoom2For example, I skipped some files to the Kinks "girl you really got me", after that song it went into a middle of a miles davis song, but showed playing "turn turn turn" by the byrds. After this the Kinks song played again, but the track info that was updated was a slipknot song
10:50:35LinusNclear as mud
10:50:44bobTHClol
10:50:46Zoom2ehhh
10:53:29Zoom2Ok, I opened an mp3 folder, skipped a few files to file "a". that played fully and loaded song "b" that started playing midway. song "b" was not supposed to be the next track. When song "b" finished. song "a" replayed but the track info was that of song "c"
10:53:33Zoom2does that make any sense?
10:53:56B4gderno
10:54:03B4gderit loads many songs at once
10:54:18B4gderwhen you start song a, it loads song b c and d too
10:55:34Zoom2so what must of happend was when I opened the folder I played the first track, and it must o f loaded some other songs, which I had "skipped"
10:56:13Zoom2hence it played one of the songs correctly, but then the shuffle or fade messed things up due to a buffer error?
10:56:33B4gderI don't think shuffle has anything to do with it
10:57:01Zoom2alright.
10:57:11Zoom2but what about the loaded songs that I had skipped?
10:57:23Zoom2I have a feeling it had to do with some of those
10:57:42B4gderyes, there are some buffer-related playback problems still
10:58:27SlasheriHmm, i think that problem is almost impossible to reproduce.. The bug has to be figured out by looking carefully the source code
10:58:29crwli've also encountered some quite strange song skipping issues where WPS also showed wrong tracks, and without shuffle
10:59:37Zoom2Slasheri: I have reproduced that 2-3 times so far, buy just loading a file, playing 1-2 seconds of it and skipping 8-9 tracks. The track plays perfectly, and then from there things get messed up
11:00
11:00:18Slasheriok, i am still trying
11:01:01Zoom2Open a folder/playlist. Hit play. Skip a good number of tracks. let the song play fully, and then the problem should happen
11:01:22SlasheriNow i started one song, played it 2 seconds and skipped 8 songs
11:01:31Slasheriwaiting this one to fully play..
11:01:36Zoom2ok
11:01:46Zoom2do you want to know the settings I was using again?
11:01:56Slasherisure :)
11:02:10Slasherii have now shuffle on and crossfade
11:02:28Zoom2Shuffle, Crossfade, repeat
11:02:54Slasheriok, i think i have the same
11:03:26Zoom2most of my songs are 3-5 minutes long, not sure if that makes any difference

11:13:43narowmindanyone know anything abou the Av700 ? there are some indirect reports that it runs linux from the factory
11:14:32narowmindanyone awake ?

11:15:26B4gderrockbox is not for any archos multimedia or AV models
11:15:55nobbehand rockbox isnt linux based
11:18:27SlasheriZoom2: btw, are you sure you are running the latest bleeding edge build?
11:18:34Zoom2back. Yes
11:18:38Slasherihmm..
11:19:09Slasherii was just wondering because the "wrong song display" was corrected. Now it should not display next song at all if it's unknown
11:19:19Zoom2you were not able to reproduce it?
11:19:24Slasherinope..
11:19:50Zoom2see under next it displayed a song, that would play AFTER the partial song played
11:19:56Zoom2but all of the tag info would be skewed
11:19:57Slasherihowever, i have had other crashing problems but not that one you describe (i had it before)
11:20:10SlasheriHmm
11:20:21Zoom2I will try to reproduce it again
11:20:26Zoom2are you using regular mp3 files?
11:20:34Slasheriyes
11:20:49Slasheribitrate between 128-240 something
11:20:56Zoom2I have around 150 songs in a folder/playlist
11:21:04Zoom2the bitrate is simmilar
11:21:05Slasheriah, i hadn't that much :)
11:21:18Zoom2I doubt that would make a difference
11:21:20Zoom2but mabye
11:21:23Slasherii will add a few hundreds of songs to playlist
11:23:01Slasherinow there are 592 songs in playlist
11:23:08Zoom2hmmm this time it worked fine. let me try it once more
11:25:15Zoom2gah I skipped 15 tracks and it froze up
11:25:40Slasheriok, i have had that frozing too. Maybe it's related to the problem
11:25:44SlasheriI will try to fix that
11:26:23Zoom2again I have a feeling its buffer related, this time I will skip 14 tracks in the same folder
11:26:23 Quit DomZ ("CGI:IRC (EOF)")
11:26:27Zoom2and see if i can reproduce it
11:27:39linuxstbHas Archos's Linux-based SDK for the PMA 400 been discussed? I know it's of no use to Rockbox, but it's an interesting development.
11:27:47Zoom214 worked fine, let me try playing it on the "15th" track
11:28:17B4gderlinuxstb: you can't even download it without registering your unit
11:28:24B4gderand I have none
11:28:33linuxstbB4gder: Yes, the license is very restrictive.
11:30:20linuxstbI especially like item 17 in their terms and conditions - the right to come to your premises and audit your computer!
11:30:35B4gderhehe
11:30:42B4gderthey sure are evil
11:31:15linuxstbI didn't know you had to register a PMA 400 first though - I didn't agree to their terms and conditions, so didn't continue.
11:31:20LinusNcd ..
11:31:34Zoom2Slasheri: it seems I cannot reproduce this problem the last 2-3 times I tried, so I am not sure what is up
11:31:49Zoom2I will try to test it more tomorrow, but the sleeping pills are kicking in so I need to get going
11:31:55SlasheriZoom2: yep, this seems to be more difficult issue..
11:32:09Slasheriok, cu later :)

11:32:23Zoom2good luck bro, I wish I could help you test it some more
11:32:27narowmindLinusN: have you looked at the av700 it looks alot like the pma400 but with a bigger drive and screen.
11:32:30Slasheri:)

11:33:33B4gderI doubt most people want to know if they can start a new port
11:33:38gromit`maybe it isn't clear that no means "no until yes"
11:33:54B4gder95% of our nos are no until yes

12:34:40Nuxatori can't view current playlist and remove tracks in it
12:34:50yngwiis the indicator for the remaining battery time accurate?? if it is, then I may have a Battery Problem

12:37:20ashridahyngwi: it hasn't been calibrated yet
12:37:36yngwiok, thanks..
12:37:42ashridahso it probably drops off in a non-linear fashion

12:38:16yngwibecause it says ~8 hours remaining on a fully charged player
12:38:34Nuxatorbut ut doeas played 8 hours flac
12:38:41Nuxatorit does
12:38:57Nuxatorit did play 8 hours flac
12:39:32yngwiyeah, but the 8 hours on mine are before any playback... (and mp3) i also think on normal firmware the battery lives not very long...

13:47:52amiconn(1) It is possible to save the extra flag; the start address field can double as the flag
13:48:13amiconnIf it is non-null, the thread was not yet started, jump there and set it to null
13:49:07amiconn(2) The conditional can be implemented rather efficiently in m68k asm, using the 'instruction shadowing' provided by the tpf instruction

13:52:42Slasherido you have playlist repeat on?

13:52:53tucozlet me check
13:53:23tucozrepeat - off
13:53:32Slasherimaybe you should try turning it on :)
13:53:37Slasheribut that's still bug indeed
13:54:08tucozTurn it on to One or all?
13:54:13Slasheriall
13:54:26Slasheriafter that the playing should never stop
13:54:52tucozOh, ok. Then this will never occur because rockbox will start to buffer the first song after the last one right?
13:55:10Slasheriyes
13:55:32Slasherior maybe you should create a playlist with more songs on it :)
13:56:04tucozNot a problem for me, but still a unhandled event though
13:56:46tucozThanks for the tips anyway
13:56:55linuxstbSlasheri: I've got a new problem. Almost every time I try to play a FLAC file, Rockbox doesn't go into the WPS screen, and the disk activity light is on. Even when the disk stops, nothing happens. This is with latest CVS.

14:27:05Slasheriok :)
14:27:39tucozBtw, do you know if rockbox will be able to detect trackchanges when recording from optical in?
14:28:24tucozFor all I know, irviver's firmware doesn't do this.
14:28:40tucozOr at least, didn't a year ago ;)
14:29:17preglowdepends if we can find the specs
14:30:32tucozpreglow: ok, I remember that my old minidisc did that. So I guess my cd-player sends some kind of information on track changes
14:31:19amiconnSlasheri: How are the playlist viewer crashes related to the plugin_loaded status? (Trying to understand your fix...)
14:32:58tucozhow do I use google to search old irc-logs?
14:33:28Slasheriamiconn: playlist viewer uses the plugin buffer and if plugin_loaded status is not set to true, playlist viewer tries to use the whole plugin buffer
14:33:55B4gderI don't think you should so such fixes
14:34:00B4gderdo
14:34:11B4gderthe codecs are to be moved soon anyway
14:34:33SlasheriB4gder: yes, but that fix was small and it cannot harm anything else
14:34:53B4gderit is unnecessary when the codecs are fixed
14:35:01B4gderand I don't like unnecessary
14:35:06amiconnIt can be taken back when codecs are moved
14:35:11B4gderyes
14:35:30amiconnA comment saying so could be added
14:35:31B4gderI'm just saying that let's not do fixes this way
14:37:16Slasheriwhen codecs are moved, the fix will vanish with them
14:37:32SlasheriIt is defined inside #ifdef IRIVER_H100 and codec_load functions

15:08:35preglowvbr mp3 files only have 100 fast seek positions?
15:08:55LinusNpreglow: yes, with the Xing header
15:09:02LinusNthe VBRI header has more
15:09:03preglowthat explains why this big mp3 is so bloody hard to seek
15:09:25preglowit keeps snapping to the same place when i try to seek to a specific place
15:09:28dwihnoRe-synching to a stream can't be that difficult... Or can it?
15:09:33preglowthen again, xmms is crap
15:09:41preglowresyncing to an mp3 stream is very easy
15:09:44preglowjust look for the sync marker
15:09:54dwihnoSeek to an offset, find next valid frame, decode
15:10:10dwihnoso why are there markers then?
15:10:17preglowfor fast seeking
15:10:22preglowwalking through the bitstream isn't very fast
15:10:29LinusNdwihno: because the frames aren't the same size
15:10:42LinusNso you don't know wrhere to seek
15:11:03LinusNCBR streams are easy
15:11:18dwihnoLinusN: as I said, just find an offset and hook on to the start of the next frame
15:11:28dwihnoWhy isn't my way good? :)
15:11:31LinusNstill, rockbox is supposed to interpolate between the markers
15:11:52LinusNdwihno: it's just that tiny part of "finding the offset" :-)
15:12:05preglowdwihno: what if the file has very low bitrates frames at the start and high bitrate frames at the end?
15:12:14preglowdwihno: you can't just seek to the middle and think you're in the middle of the song
15:12:19dwihnoLinusN: you have the filesize. If you seek ~50% in the file it can't be that bad
15:12:23dwihnopreglow: of course you can :)
15:12:30preglowdwihno: and like i said, walking through the bitstream to find the middle is very slow
15:12:34dwihnopreglow: approximation to the people :)
15:12:41preglowfoobar does this
15:12:46preglowand it's very slow even on my computer

15:17:45linuxstbBut isn't this an unsolvable problem? The only reliable solutions are to either walk through the file from the beginning, or to put the MP3 file inside a container.
15:17:55preglowmp3 has seek tables
15:17:55dwihnoThen VBR is the tool of the devil! Period! :)
15:17:58preglowthat is, extensions
15:18:17preglowmost vbr files i've seen have xing headers which contain 100 seek points
15:18:25preglowdon't know how common the vbri header is
15:18:30linuxstbdwihno: storing raw MPEG audio frames without a container format is the work of the devil.
15:18:52preglowwhy? i think storing raw mpeg audio frames without a container makes less sense
15:19:27linuxstbBecause if the frames are variable size, or if you can have non-audio data (such as ID3v2 tags) in the middle of the file, you can't seek in them.
15:19:47linuxstbMPEG audio is designed to at least be inside "PES" packets - which contain a timestamp.
15:19:54preglowid3v2 doesn't belong in a container
15:20:03preglowthe container is supposed to handle commenting needs
15:20:37linuxstbpreglow: That's my point - there have been so many bad hacks to MP3 files, when they should have been iside a container such as Ogg.
15:20:40preglowif mp3 had been wrapped in a container, we wouldn't have had a gapless issue, or need for hacks like extra stuff like xing and lame headers
15:20:52linuxstbExactly!

15:37:22Musicmadhow do you revert to default wps?
15:39:31LinusNrename the custom wps file
15:39:39LinusNor reset the settings
15:41:53LinusNpreglow and linuxstb: remember that mp3 is a streaming format
15:41:56Musicmadweird. Still got no wps other than the battery, volume and play icon.
15:42:10LinusNMusicmad: hmmm, maybe a bug
15:42:58MusicmadLinusN: yeah - tried various mp3's though. Maybe I don't upgrade correctly. I just unpack the zip on my player and run the .iriver file.
15:43:11linuxstbLinusN: I know - that's why we have all these problems.
15:43:16preglowLinusN: sure, you don't use containers when streaming
15:43:22LinusNMusicmad: that should work
15:43:39linuxstbpreglow: You do, but a different type of container - for a different purpose (error detection/correction).
15:43:42preglowbut it was designed for ordinary storage use as well
15:43:50linuxstb"designed" ?
15:43:57MusicmadLinusN: any ideas then :)
15:44:08LinusNMusicmad: reset the settings

15:48:19preglowif anyone still can hear artifacts in mp3 playback, let me know. i think i can hear some sometimes, but i don't really trust my hearing
15:48:20LinusNmisa like the idea
15:48:58preglowLinusN: i agree
15:52:00yngwiPreglow: I hear a loud scratch everytime the first song after startup is played (and sometimes on the beginning of a file) and a small knack or pop noise on the beginning of every file. But I guess you don't mean this kind of "artifact"

15:54:51preglowit does seem to be an mp3 problem
15:55:46 Quit Nuxator ("CGI:IRC")
15:56:17linuxstbSlasheri: I see you've committed a patch that delays buffering after 2MB. I haven't tested it yet, but how does that work with FLAC files, where 2MB isn't very long at all (maybe 15-20 seconds)
15:57:08linuxstb2MB will obviously be even less if you're playing WAV files.
15:57:20amiconnLinusN: Re the patch you mentioned - it seems like a nice idea. This functionality should probably be added to the PGUP/PGDN handling as well
15:57:49LinusNyup
15:58:15preglowehh, i paused the player, went away for a couple of minutes, and it locked up when i pressed play
15:58:26B4gderI think the 2mb fix was a bit quick to do
15:59:59B4gderit needs to adjust to codec/compression
16:00
16:00:05B4gderto be really good
16:00:08Slasherilinuxstb: Hmm, it doesn't work with flac files quite well
16:00:18SlasheriBut with ogg/mp3 it works
16:01:58Slasherilinuxstb: Hmm, maybe with flac files the delayed buffering should not be activated at all?
16:02:09preglowdid mp3 files use to have a click in the start?
16:02:22LinusNpreglow: with archos?
16:02:28preglowno, iriver
16:02:32preglowbefore my sound quality fix yesterday
16:02:46LinusNi have always heard a faint click
16:02:49Slasheripreglow: I don't yet know that causes that garbage when song starts..
16:03:01preglowit's only for mp3s
16:03:04preglowit seems
16:03:05SlasheriAh, hmm
16:03:34B4gderSlasheri: doing such things for specific codecs signals something is wrong
16:03:50preglowSlasheri: no, i was wrong, it happens for oggs as well
16:04:17preglowi'll just ignore it, then
16:04:18SlasheriB4gder: Hmm.. But flac files require so much buffer space that it's not very useful to do that
16:04:40preglowthen the codec should somehow tell you it doesn't want that behaviour
16:04:52B4gderthe codec should rather set the limit
16:04:54Slasheripreglow: yes, that's correct :)
16:05:03B4gdersince it knows the compression etc
16:05:07Slasherii will do that
16:05:22preglowdidn't someone start working on a separate plugin api for codecs?
16:05:27B4gderthen flac can set it to 16mb or something
16:05:31SlasheriLinusN is working on that
16:05:38preglowahh
16:06:58B4gderno one works on getting wavs to play?
16:07:12preglowno, afaik
16:07:20B4gderkind of funny :-)
16:07:24Slasherisomeone has to write codec for wavs
16:07:28preglowshouldn't be prohibitively hard, hehe
16:07:28Musicmadget a crash when viewing current playlist.
16:07:31Slasherithat's not very difficult
16:07:48preglowjust load what you need to the buffer, with an endian swap
16:07:56SlasheriMusicmad: with latest bleeding edge build?
16:08:10Musicmadlatest daily.
16:08:21SlasheriMusicmad: ok, that's not yet fixed
16:08:25Slasheritry the bleeding edge one
16:08:28Musicmadi will
16:09:58MusicmadSlasheri: works now
16:10:01Musicmadthanks
16:10:02Slasherigreat
16:10:08preglowSlasheri: the pop at the start is probably just a step in the waveform caused by the last sample from the last track being held by the dac
16:10:30 Quit Tomhab (Read error: 60 (Operation timed out))
16:11:47MusicmadSlasheri: progress doesn't seem to be in sync with music after heavy forward seeking.
16:12:19SlasheriMusicmad: ok, that might be possible because the seeking is still experimental
16:12:30Musicmadok :)
16:13:00preglowso you should probably play some zero samples before a track change
16:14:15Slasheripreglow: Hmmm
16:14:33SlasheriThat should not be necessary (unless audio is stopped)
16:14:45preglowSlasheri: audio is stopped briefly when you switch tracks, isn't it?
16:15:00preglowSlasheri: like when i press 'next', not when the track is finished
16:15:13Slasherino, it's not
16:15:21Slasheriaah..
16:15:28Slasheriyes, it's when you press next
16:15:51preglowthere is no glitch when audio is continious
16:15:55preglowof course
16:16:52linuxstbB4gder: There is no need for WAV when you have FLAC - but I've been thinking about doing it. It should be almost trivial (until the bug reports come in with weird WAV files).
16:17:10B4gderhehe
16:17:24B4gderwell, some people will have wav files they want to play without using flac
16:17:50amiconn...and probably the first shot on iriver recording will probably record to wav
16:18:16amiconnIt would be really odd when the iriver couldn't play its own recordings...
16:18:18linuxstbSomething else I want to do quite soon is a "wav2flac" plugin. I don't think real-time encoding is a good idea (for quality reasons), but on-iRiver encoders will be very useful.
16:18:34preglowdefinitely
16:18:43amiconnlinuxstb: lame !!
16:18:46preglowsomeone should also make a 2wav codec loader
16:18:52preglowso we can get rid of the xxx2wav fellas
16:19:06linuxstbI also think it's too risky to do real-time encoding - it will always be pushing the CPU to the limit.
16:19:34preglownot necessarily
16:20:37preglowa flac encode is a pretty speedy affair
16:21:16linuxstbNot as speedy as decoding, and we are still struggling to decode.
16:21:20dwihnoDepending on the CPU, perhaps variable compression?
16:22:20preglowwe'll see
16:22:24preglowi don't care much about recording
16:22:26linuxstbI see recording being used for three reasons - voice recording (i.e. low quality), live concert recording (i.e. best possible quality) and for people who want to convert CDs without using a PC.
16:22:29preglowwav will probably do for me

16:27:26dwihnobooo! no wma!
16:27:33bipakdwihno: :)
16:27:35[solid]preglow: and i think encoding realtime could actually improve the runtime over wav...
16:28:00Musicmaddwihno: explicitly no? - why :) - it's the most used format for online music shops.
16:28:08Musicmadnon-ipod that is.
16:28:20dwihnoMusicmad: proprietary format!
16:28:35 Part asdsd____
16:28:47Musicmaddwihno: - well isn't there an open source floating point codec for it.
16:28:56preglowgo ahead
16:28:57preglowport away
16:29:01dwihno:)
16:29:05Musicmadno skillz :)
16:29:08dwihnoWhen we're speaking of it...
16:29:18dwihnoOnline stores should sell the music in a lossless format
16:29:38Musicmadtrue
16:29:58dwihnoOtherwise, it would not make sense paying such a relatively high price for something you don't know how well it's been compressed
16:30:19Musicmaddwihno: actually I think the price is fair. It's around ½ price in Denmark.
16:30:21dwihnoI recall my pal telling me how great he thought the Xing encoder used to be, since it was such a fast encoder
16:30:23[solid]warps bleep store uses lame -ape :)
16:30:38dwihno-ape ? :)
16:30:39Musicmad[solid]: got a link?
16:30:48[solid]it's by far the best online shop i've seen
16:30:52[solid]http://bleep.com/
16:31:05[solid]and they've got all sorts of sold-out releases for sale there..
16:31:44dwihnoLossless to the people!
16:31:54[solid]and to quote them: "Secondly, Bleep music has no DRM or copy protection built in. We believe that most people like to be treated as customers and not potential criminals - DRM is easily circumvented and just puts obstacles in the way of enjoying music."

16:36:25preglowi'm very sceptical to buying lossy compressed music
16:36:39dapureplayais tehre a place whereu can buy lossess music?
16:36:39dwihnoIf I want the music in MP3, OGG or whatever, I can encode it myself
16:37:15Seedthe problem is how they rip, not encode
16:37:17bipakdwihno: non compressed format would cause higher traffic and then higher prices for the music, i think

16:40:49Roriwhich model?
16:40:53Rori3500?
16:41:04dwihnobipak: So the price is 100 SEK for an album (regular price in the store is approx 175 SEK)
16:41:05t0mas3450 black = 3500
16:41:09t0maslooked at the 3200 first

16:41:58Roripricey
16:42:00bipakdwihno: for uncompressed files?
16:42:01dwihno[solid]: you pay ~60% of the retail price for a download (which is lossy and you don't know how "well" it's encoded)
16:42:15t0masRori: same price as the 5.1 set I wanted
16:42:35Roriwhy didn't you get the 5.1 then?
16:42:39t0masand I decided to take these... and not 5.1 because I already have a decent 5.1 set for my dvd player
16:42:44dwihnobipak: So basically, the lossless should be set at that price and perhaps having mp3 or similar at 60% of the flac price
16:42:45Roriok
16:42:49t0masand these sound better
16:42:52[solid]dwihno: there is one lossless online store (not talking about allofmp3 which is illegal after all, and even if it's legal i bet the musicians don't get a dime from their sales)
16:42:57t0masand all my music is normal stereo on pc
16:43:02t0masso why take 5.1 for my pc
16:43:13[solid]dwihno: but it's average cost is higher than that of a cd bought in a store...
16:43:22bipakdwihno: yea that would be good :)
16:43:28RoriI feed my soundcard via SPDIF to a Sony top notch surround sound amp and some expensive speakers

16:48:51dapureplayanice. My Klipsch are like 76 Watts RMS or something. It's disturbingly powerful for a 2.1 set. I was scared at first when i heard them/
16:49:06t0masyes, I have the bass at 1/3 now
16:49:14t0masand I guess the rest of the hous doesn't like this :P
16:49:37t0mashm... but still I think my sisters speakers look better :)
16:49:46t0masthe 3200
16:49:57dapureplayahaha yeah they don't like it, but they have to put up with it. It only thumps wduring the day and when people are up. I spent AUD$220 on them.
16:50:12dapureplayat0mas: you want power over looks tho.
16:50:38t0maswow
16:50:45t0masthese were 70 euros
16:50:49t0masand I got them for free
16:51:15t0masbecause my tft has a dead pixel (bottom 3 pixels from the border, but still)
16:51:46t0masI payed the shop 30 euros for a pixel problem free tft... and they were unable to give me this type...
16:51:51dapureplayat0mas: free? Haha! No complaints then! I was expecting everything that i got for these speakers. Were they a present or something for you?
16:52:02t0masno
16:52:09t0masbut the shop had a big problem
16:52:11t0mashaving me there...
16:52:29dapureplayat0mas: oh. long story?
16:52:34t0masbecause they had no way to give me a new screen (Iiyama is in production trouble)
16:52:52t0masand they sold screens with pixel errors with a 70 euro discount
16:53:01dapureplayat0mas: oh fair enough.
16:53:06t0mas(but then you don't know where the pixel is... and how many you have)

16:53:40DJ_Dooms_dayHeya
16:53:52dapureplayaanyway speaking of creative products, anyone seen the Creative 5GB Neeon?

17:20:47bill20r3too much cowbell.
17:21:08RoriThese speakers literally kick you

17:24:07bill20r3yeah t0mas, hopefully soon.
17:24:10RoriAwai branded
17:24:15bill20r3anyone here have a 320 or 340?
17:24:21Roriremovable face too
17:24:24bill20r3you dapure, which do you have?
17:24:30RoriI was thinkl
17:24:34RoriI was thinking ahead
17:24:38Roriwhen I bought it years ago
17:24:43dapureplayabill23or3: i have an H140. but i have used my cousin's H340 very extensively.
17:24:58bill20r3how do you like it?
17:25:03bill20r3also, do I need a remote?
17:25:04RoriI knew I would need it for some kinda DAP eventually
17:25:08bill20r3or do I just want one?
17:25:18dapureplayabill20or3: It's great. personally i'm not a rmote user.
17:25:26Roriwhenever I change cars I take it out ;)
17:25:57dapureplayabill20r3: the only downfall is that navigation scrolling thru songs is slightly slower than H140. but that didn't get to me very much, especially when i taught my cousin how to organise his music very well.
17:26:14bill20r3yeah, I'm pretty fussy about organizing stuff, so I should be ok.
17:26:35bill20r3too bad the 3x0 remotes are so much
17:26:50dapureplayaif u had an intl model, you would have had a remote incl.
17:27:07bill20r3I got a US model.
17:27:10dapureplayafiletree is a great way to organise music. i don't like it how ipod organises things for you it's annoying
17:27:20bill20r3what format video does it play?

17:27:59RoriI know where everything is
17:28:14yngwifiltree is cool
17:28:18Roriby category and name and album
17:28:23yngwinever gonna need a database
17:28:31dapureplayabill20r3:avi's. btw, you can only play videos if u flash the intl. firmware. once you get rid of your US firmnware, say bye bye to the DRM capabilities. So if you plan to buy online, you won't have vid playback
17:28:43yngwiA-Z/Artist/album/file
17:28:51bill20r3I dont care about drm
17:29:02DJDD_SLEEPfiletree is actually pretty shit when you have around 250 albums.
17:29:03dapureplayagood! all teh more reason to flash 1.28K :)
17:29:25RoriI sort by Genre/Artist/Album/file
17:29:27DJDD_SLEEPMainly because of the slow scrolling speed of the iriver
17:29:38yngwiDJDD thats not true, i have about 300... and it rocks :-)
17:29:42bill20r31.28 Korean is the good firmware?
17:29:45DJDD_SLEEPTHats no help either, i have around 1800 artists
17:29:55bill20r3you can do sub-folders right?
17:29:59Roriyes
17:30:05bill20r3like \music\A\Artist ?
17:30:11yngwi1800 artists, thats much
17:30:18bill20r3so as long as you knwo where everything is, you wont have speed problems
17:30:28DJDD_SLEEPYes you will
17:30:39bill20r3?
17:30:42DJDD_SLEEPand its hard memorizing 4500 songs
17:30:48dapureplayabill20r3: yeah any intl version of H300 firmware will work. not t he US one.
17:31:06DJDD_SLEEPAt 250 folders, getting to the 150th folder takes a good few minutes
17:31:08B4gderI have >6000 songs in a nicely sorted filetree
17:31:12bill20r3does theusbtogo work with any usb mass-storage device?
17:31:16yngwihmm i haven't had any problems with 3600 songs until now
17:31:25bill20r3ie: could I copy stuff straight off another H340?
17:31:34DJDD_SLEEPDoes the rockbox have a good scrolling thingy?
17:31:37RoriI like being able to switch back to iRiver fw. Means I can still play audio books while the Rockbox speed issue is resolved
17:31:42bill20r3(assuming I modify my US version so the usbtogo actually works)
17:32:11CoCoLUSdjdd, the scrolling accelerates if you scroll longer, so yes, its "good scrolling"
17:32:12RoriiRiver has no bookmark feature though :P
17:32:12dapureplayabill20r3: not too sure how it works on the US modell, but i transferred files fro my H140 to my cousin's H340 vpretty successfully. keep in mind it was USB 1.1 so super slow.

17:34:26bill20r3are there any US sources for the H3x0 remote?
17:34:29bill20r3or just ebay?
17:34:35]RowaN[not even crossfade.. just fade the 1st track out for a second and have the next one start at full volume over the top
17:34:51bill20r3I think that'd be of minimal use.
17:35:04RoriLame gapless will be a start
17:35:07dapureplayahttp://www.misticaudio.com were selling them but they sold out in a snap. you can try asking the store if they plan to stock anymore.
17:35:18preglowlame gapless will be a start?

17:37:06]RowaN[how does crossfading work atm? i havent managed to hear it yet (yes ive turned it on). Does the next song fade in over the top, or does it just start at normal volume over the last track (which is fading)?
17:37:13t0masRori, dapureplaya: that's a really good one :P
17:37:17dapureplayabill20r3: you can also use it for H300 aswell. but there is a special H300 remote which has a joystick on it.
17:37:32Roriwhat is dapureplaya?
17:37:42 Quit B4gder ("Lämnar")
17:37:56bill20r3of course I'd rather have the 'proper' remote, but the 100 ones seem a lot easier to find

17:43:21CassandraHello
17:43:25preglowhi
17:43:58CassandraI'm getting a bug in iriver playback where occasionally Rockbox drops back to the WPS at the start of a track. Is this known about?
17:44:23Cassandra(On the positive side, recent commits have fixed all the other flakyness)
17:44:24]RowaN[but that aside, what do you think about the next/prev cross.. well not crossfading, just current track fading out (for like half a sec) and the next one starts with no delay (so you hear it immediately, as the 1st track is still fading)
17:45:20CassandraThis is with shuffle on. I don't know if that makes a difference.
17:45:33bill20r3jesus those 340 remotes are expensive
17:45:38]RowaN[it mite sound weird but its much easier on the ears to have a track not end abruptly when you skip to the next, trust me

17:47:38bill20r3is there a side-by-side comparison of the different remotes anywhere?
17:47:50CassandraI seem to be able to reliably reproduce it. Make a root.m3u, enable shuffle, start it off, and press the next button a few times. Eventually you will drop backt to the WPS.
17:48:55CassandraPersonally I hate crossfading. If you have a DJ selecting tracks it works, but some tracks do not crossfade well into each other.
17:48:57]RowaN[hmm still cant seem to experience crossfade here.. contineous mix cd in lame mp3 format listening to i am (whoops got all yodaey)
17:49:31]RowaN[yes but for a 1 sec crossfade, it doesnt need a dj so much
17:49:47preglowi'll never use crossfading myself
17:50:03webguest43there should be plugins for sound adjustment on iriverbox

17:51:38preglowi think it's a coincidental thing at the moment
17:51:40CassandraI mean obviously I ripped it splitting on frame boundaries.
17:51:53preglowahh, −−nogap ?=
17:52:01CassandraWouldn't expect it to work otherwise.
17:52:04preglowthen it should work just dandy, yes
17:52:28preglowthe more proper method using the LAME info header doesn't work yet
17:52:44CassandraAh - didn't know about that.
17:53:11preglowyou don't need to pad out the last frame with next track data then
17:53:38CassandraThat'd be kind of cool. Saves having to rip things in a special way.
17:53:52preglowyup

20:20:08linuxstbSlasheri: OK, I'll change that.
20:22:01Slasherilinuxstb: Then you could also use short int as pointer type so byteswapping would be easier (and probably faster). #define BITSWAP(x) (((x>>8) & 0xff) | ((x<<8) & 0xff00)
20:22:52linuxstbDo I need to call advance_buffer as well?
20:23:05 Join elinenbe [0] (~elinenbe_@65.115.46.225)
20:23:26Slasheriyes you need, after you have done with the data
20:23:37Slasherihave=are
20:24:51linuxstbI'm looking at codecmpa - I don't understand how it works if the MP3 file is larger than the memory buffer.
20:25:28SlasheriIt requests small chunks same way read_filebuf does
20:25:38linuxstbBut it doesn't advance the pointer?
20:25:52linuxstb^buffer
20:25:56Slasheriit will, at the end of the loop
20:26:27Slasheriit uses advance_buffer_loc but you should use advance_buffer(amount)
20:26:27linuxstbOK - I missed that.
20:26:31Slasheri:)
20:27:54Slasheriafter calling something like that: short int pointer = ci->request_buffer(&size, CHUNK_SIZE); the size will tell you have many bytes was read
20:28:08linuxstbSo it's just request_buffer, byte-swap, audiobuffer_insert, advance_buffer
20:28:11Slasheriif size is zero (or return value NULL), it's end of file
20:28:16Slasheriyep :)
20:28:44Slasheri*pointer
20:30:37amiconnPlease don't define the byte swap as BITSWAP, this will be *very* confusing in rockbox
20:30:38Slasheriand remember not to request too large buffer sizes (maximum allowed amount is GUARD_BUFSIZE defined in playback.c, 8 KiB, but you should use lower values still
20:31:19Slasheriamiconn: That was only a silly example, i meant BYTESWAP or something like that =)
20:32:55linuxstbSlasheri: I have problems processing chunks smaller than 16K - try changing the size of wavbuf in my current codecwav to (e.g.) 4K, and listen to a WAV file. There is very bad stuttering.
20:33:20Slasherilinuxstb: Hmm, maybe you have too many yields then
20:33:25SlasheriTry decreasing those
20:33:44linuxstbOK. Too many changes to do at once....

20:41:03Slasherilinuxstb: You have forgot to update SOURCES, your codec wont compile..
20:43:01amiconnlinuxstb: It seems the .wav bitrate is still a bit off. Afaik the bitrate is given in kBit/s, not KBit/s...
20:43:21amiconn...so it should be /(1000/8) not /(1024/8)

20:45:35linuxstbOK, I'll change the bitrate. Bloody computer scientists.
20:45:55Slasheriamiconn: Hmm, in europe we use SI-units. So k = 1000, Ki = 1024 and K = Kelvin =)
20:46:20amiconnSlasheri: I know that you use Ki for that, however, your commits were the first thing I've seen using that

20:48:37Slasheriah, yes.. that's true :)

21:31:59amiconnStack usage is at 80% just by playing mp3s
21:32:51amiconnThat's why I want to have the stack overflow check in the scheduler working
21:33:22amiconnA stack overflow will then trigger a panic on the next context switch, and rockbox will print the offending thread's name

22:32:59preglowmno, 4k
22:33:08preglowhow much stack space usage have you seen?
22:33:23amiconn[21:52:11] <amiconn> Slasheri: flac needs ~12% of the codec stack, vorbis ~17%. mp3 needs ~80%
22:33:32amiconnI can add mp2: ~19 % now
22:33:44 Quit bipak_ ("Lost terminal")
22:34:24amiconnCodec stack size is 10.25 KB
22:34:39preglowouch
22:34:41preglowbut anywho
22:34:45preglowit's needed for performance
22:34:50preglowso might as well let it use that stack
22:35:58amiconnThe stkov check is working now (not yet committed), but for obvious reasons it can't catch all cases
22:36:21amiconnIf some crucial code gets overwritten by the stack overflow....

22:37:02amiconnI was able to cause a 'stkov audio' but not a 'stkov codec'. Rockbox simply hung
22:37:12amiconn...probably because the codec stack is in iram
22:37:30JasonIm just trying out Crossfade
22:38:04preglowamiconn: exactly how does stkov work?
22:38:07SlasheriJason: currently it's broken
22:38:24Slasheri(at least i think it is)
22:38:25Jasonwell its doing something on my iRiver
22:38:33Slasheriah, ok :)
22:38:33Jasonwhat would be good is a variable crossfader setting
22:38:54elinenbeSlasheri: you haven't heard that one yet <grin>
22:39:17SlasheriHmm :D
22:39:17amiconnpreglow: switch_thread() checks whether the first longword is != 0xdeadbeef. If it is -> panicf()
22:39:18Jasonthe only thing iRiver Rockbox doesn't have is sound adjustment
22:39:43amiconnJason: There are many more things missing
22:39:49Jasonas well as a clock
22:39:56amiconnIt's far from complete
22:40:21Jasonwell i now use Rockbox simply because the shuffle is a million times better than iRiver
22:40:28amiconn:-)

22:41:52Jasonwell its somethign
22:41:56Tangledingbut too i use Rbx since i have some mp3 taht iRiver fw can't play
22:41:58bill20r3is there just the 2 models, the common 1x0 remote, and the unobtainable H3x0 remote?
22:42:01Tangledingand Rockbox does
22:42:11Tangledingbill
22:42:13Tangledingyes but
22:42:22Tangledingfor H3xx only the two work
22:42:32 Quit ghostiger (Remote closed the connection)
22:42:34Tangledingfor H1xx the H3xx remote won't work fine (no buttons)
22:42:41Jasonbut I must admit iRiverbox looks promising
22:42:50bill20r3so which ones work on the H3x0?
22:43:16JasonI reckon the H1x0 series are gonna be very collectable
22:43:50 Join ehntoo [0] (~noclue2@24-177-153-208.dhcp.mrqt.mi.charter.com)
22:44:20Tangledingboth H1xx and H3xx work for H3xx
22:45:25amiconnMrf, I don't get this
22:45:59bill20r3are there different remotes within the H1xx models, or are they all identical?
22:46:09bill20r3seems like some pictures are chrome, and some are black.
22:46:11Tangledingal; identical
22:46:15Tangledingand you can even buy
22:46:19TangledingiMP550 remote
22:46:24bill20r3reeeeally
22:46:31Tangledingit's the same only the names of the button change
22:46:52Tangledingi own an iMP550 remote in replacement of my iHP1xx old remote that i broke
22:46:54bill20r3is there any reason to get the iMP500 remote over one of the H1xx remotes?
22:46:57Tangledingit work fine
22:47:02Tangleding(on my iHP1xx)
22:47:13bill20r3are they different colors or anything?
22:47:22bill20r3cause I'd like one that's black, if possible.
22:47:29Tangledingno more reason but sometimes iHP1xx remote aren't available and iMP550 are
22:47:31Tangleding;)
22:47:37TangledingMP
22:48:02JasonIt would be awesome if iRiverbox supports the FM tuner and enables recording from it
22:48:03amiconnIt might be that there are H-1x0 remotes with different colours. Mine is black
22:48:22Tangledingamiconn
22:48:23Tangledingindeed
22:48:40Tangledingthere is black for US H120 and iHP140
22:48:53Tangledingand champaign for UE iHP120
22:49:06Tangledingbut also silver for iMP550 and black for iMP550 too
22:49:20Tangledinganyway the only différence is the button labeling
22:50:35MoosCamaroand black for h140 too ;)
22:55:22preglowamiconn: but how does it check stack usage? writes 0xdeadbeef as far as it can and sees how far it's been erased? :P
22:55:49amiconncreate_thread fills the whole stack of the new thread with 0xdeadbeef
22:56:07preglowahh, yes
22:56:14amiconnThe check in switch_thread is a quick check for overflow
22:56:33 Quit silencer_ ("Lost terminal")
22:56:36preglowbut yeah, no surprise libmad needs stack, slasheris first attempts at audio crashed because of this
22:56:44amiconnThe values in the debug menu are calculated by thread_stack_usage(),
22:57:05preglowamiconn: are you gonna commit the working stack check soon? it's a nice tool to have
22:57:17amiconn..which will scan each thread's stack until it finds something else than 0xdeadbeef
22:58:14amiconnI would have done that already if there wouldn't be a problem
22:58:35preglowoh+
22:58:54amiconnI've unified the scheduler as much as possible for coldfire and sh1.
22:59:19amiconnNow I'm trying to trigger stkov on both.
22:59:35amiconn...to see whether it displays the correct thread name

23:14:31road_runnerI've just posted a question at the website, now this is kinda silly right? I can ask you guys... i'm pasteing it.
23:14:47Bagder:-)
23:15:04road_runnerHello. In a few minuts i'm going to (finally) install rockbox as now it plays music and I must try it...
23:15:05road_runnerI'm using hebrew on the original iriver (1.65u) firmware - by altering the cyrillic font by h3mod to the hebrew letters. this has worked o.k. for me - surely with the mirrored problem.
23:15:05road_runnerIn order to install the bootloader I would like to use the fwpatcher. And so I get a checksum error if I use it on an already moded .hex firmware file.
23:15:09road_runnerI got away with this by firstly patching the firmware with the bootloader and only then h3mod'ing it to include the hebrew charset.
23:15:14road_runnerWayyyy too afraid of trying this myself, I have made a resolution to wait until u guys will tell me if this is safe or not...
23:15:19road_runnerp/s, if the fwpatcher program wouldn't do a checksum check, (would descrambling-merging-rescrambling it myself = wouldn't produce the same error) would lead to a corrupted firmware? b.t.w. I guess not.
23:15:22road_runner(hey it worked)
23:15:53BagderI'm not sure what you're asking
23:16:00road_runnershoot
23:16:01road_runner(and if someone has a bdm interface I would love to hand him my firmware so he could check if it really works...)
23:16:08linuxstbHas anyone done any work on the AC3/A52 decoder recently? I've just tested it, and it's decoding at 130% realtime on one test file, and 115% on the other.
23:16:18preglowroad_runner: you can only patch an unmodified firmware
23:16:34preglowroad_runner: with fwpatcher, that is
23:16:50preglowlinuxstb: no work whatsoever
23:16:58preglowlinuxstb: since i have little or no interest in the format
23:17:15linuxstbIt seems no work is necessary.
23:17:28nobbehroad_runner:theoretically, if only the fonts are replaced, you should be ok.
23:17:33preglownecessary, no, but still needs to be done, heh
23:17:41linuxstbThe only use for AC3 is for digital TV or DVD rips.
23:17:48preglowknow

23:19:17preglowbut no guarantees

23:20:12road_runnerwell I DO KNOW that using h3mod would produce good altered firmwares... question is if this is the right way, or scrambling it myself :?
23:20:34Bagderyou'll get the same end result I guess
23:20:49road_runnerthe key word is "guess"
23:20:56preglowbut hell, why do you need iriver firmware when you've got rockbox anyway? :>
23:21:00Bagderyes
23:22:19road_runnerhehe.. because everyone warned me I would have to start carring pins with me everywhere
23:22:39Bagderchicken
23:22:42preglowwuss!
23:22:49Bagderthe pin is very light ;-)
23:22:53road_runnerheeee... lol

23:23:12road_runneru r the 1st guys how acctually told me to try it
23:23:26road_runner:/
23:24:18road_runneranyways... can someone acctually try C if my firmware works 4 him or would this be 2 much 2 ask 4?
23:24:45Tangledingwhat the wquestion?
23:25:17TangledingYou want to know if you can change the fw bitmaps with H3mod?
23:25:17Bagderso you're asking someone else to risk what you don't dare?
23:25:25road_runnercan someone try my patched 1.65U firmware with hebrew charset and bootloader... ?
23:25:36road_runnernooooooo
23:26:09TangledingAsk Linus if he has BDM
23:26:09road_runnerI'm asking if someone in this forum has a bdm inteface - > can risk his own player because he can always reflash it!!!
23:26:17Tangledingooops
23:26:24Tangledinganyway you know
23:26:27road_runnerLinus surely has bdm
23:26:29Slasherii have changed bitmaps from my 1.65E firmware, patched it with bootloader after that and flashed. Works fine
23:26:29BagderLinus is the only one to has one
23:26:34Bagderwho has
23:26:38Tangledingmaybe Linus has betetr to do with Rockbox
23:26:44Tangledingis this very important?
23:27:01BagderI say run without the font patch
23:27:19Bagderor cross your fingers and run for it
23:27:32road_runnerslasheri: modding before patching? didn't it give you a checksum error? have you used the fwpatecher? probebly not.
23:27:44TangledingRR
23:27:49Slasheriroad_runner: i patched it on linux using command line tools
23:28:09Tangledingif you want to know if we can mod a iHP fw with bootloader using H3mod
23:28:12Tangledingthe answer is YES
23:28:25Tangledingi've done it for myself
23:28:33road_runnertangleding: yeah very. half of my playlist is in hebrew and i don't like reflashing, crashed way too much for me
23:28:37Tangledingi just do'nt understand what's the matter
