#rockbox log for 2006-02-17

00:00:07amiconnOkay, I'll check...
00:00:26[IDC]DragonI'd better zip you my test app

00:02:39Mikachuwow, it looks like it doesn't conflict with the other patch
00:03:00[IDC]Dragon?
00:03:30Mikachuthere is a patch for the jpeg viewer to allow viewing without stopping playback
00:03:38Mikachuand switching images without leaving the plugin
00:04:30[IDC]DragonI touched only the decoder core, not the app
00:04:51Mikachuah, so more to come then

00:12:06Mikachubut having 1% cpu to spare or 50% cpu to spare does
00:12:21linuxstbCassandra: Anything that gives more time to audio decoding is good...
00:12:26elinenbehey... it looks like we could be moments away from cover images in the WPS?
00:12:38CassandraI guess.
00:12:49Mikachujpg pictures from id3(or other) tags?
00:13:25linuxstbelinenbe: What makes you say that?
00:13:49CassandraI bet you've still hit the point of diminishing returns though. Optimising other code will probably yield greater speed increases.
00:14:00linuxstbCassandra: Don't worry, I've stopped :)
00:14:15CassandraGood boy. *gri*
00:14:17[IDC]Dragonamiconn: oops, I'
00:14:24[IDC]Dragonmore oops
00:14:33linuxstbWll, I have one more change to commit, then I'm done.....
00:14:34CassandraThat's kind of like a grin that doesn't get finished.
00:14:40[IDC]DragonI've emailed my test code to the comitter list
00:14:48[IDC]Dragoninstead of just Jens
00:14:58imphasing_linuxstb: Did you get anything figured out with the LCD driver?
00:15:02[IDC]Dragonwell, nothing offensive
00:15:41linuxstbimphasing: No - josh's routine didn't work properly for me, and didn't give any speedup anyway. If you get something working, let me know.

00:16:26[IDC]Dragondid you read me?
00:16:41CassandraIt's the list of people who need to be commited to a mental institution for working too much on Rockbox.
00:17:00elinenbeCassandra: no need for wisecracks!
00:17:13[IDC]Dragonthat's another symptom
00:17:57imphasing_linuxstb: Alright. Did you get that little bar of corrupted pixels when you used it?
00:18:08Cassandraelinenbe, perhaps you're unaware that I'm on the list (or maybe you just don't like my sense of humour.) It's people who have access to the Rockbox CVs.
00:18:18Cassandrawrite access, I mean.
00:18:43linuxstbimphasing: No. You can fix that by using lcd_framebuffer[0][0] instead of [y][x]
00:19:02imphasing_Huh, cool.
00:19:08elinenbeCassandra: ah...
00:19:13imphasing_I'll fiddle with it some more when I get home.
00:19:43amiconnHrmph again. T-Online mailserver doesn't seem to like interrupted pop3 sessions :(
00:20:10Cassandra[IDC]Dragon, any chance you could bring one of those diskless players to Devcon for me?
00:22:13Cassandra(I think I already have one of the widest collections of Rockbox devices out there, but player is a very useful platform for testing, since it's the only one with a charcell display.
00:25:11CassandraI bought one off eBay a while back but it turned out to be a total turkey. You're very welcome to it for your graveyard if you'd like it.

00:26:32CassandraThanks.
00:26:44Cassandra<
00:26:51CassandraMailing works too, if that's easier.
00:26:51BagderI've ordered the official devcon shirts too
00:27:04[IDC]Dragonin what sizes?
00:27:11CassandraIs there a picture of the design?
00:27:14elinenbeBagder: what ever happened to the rockbox shirts ;)
00:27:24BagderXL and L
00:27:30LinusN /kick elinenbe
00:28:04[IDC]DragonL isn't kind for ladies
00:28:08BagderCassandra: nope
00:28:13[IDC]Dragon(nor XL)
00:28:16Bagderthere's a few M too actually
00:28:24CassandraNo need, Linus. Standard Rockbox response #2 - "No-one is working on that at the moment. Feel free to submit a patch." ;)
00:28:47Bagderrockbox blue they are ;-)
00:28:58elinenbeSeriously though... the t-shirt says −− on the front "Jesus Saves"
00:29:00Bagderwell, hopefully quite similar to that blue at least
00:29:01CassandraBagder, I'll look forward to the surpise then.

00:31:30[IDC]Dragonno video in?
00:31:31elinenbereal question... has anyone ever heard of a wireless AP with a built in gigabit switch?
00:31:42imphasing_Nope.
00:31:44imphasing_:P
00:31:54Bagdersure
00:32:02elinenbet0mas: a few years back there was a contest to produce a rockbox shirt.

00:32:21t0maselinenbe: I might have seen some pictures of that...
00:32:21Cassandra[IDC]Dragon, I'm saving the space for a HDMC connector.

00:33:20amiconn[IDC]Dragon: Am I supposed to expect weird subsampling? Or should it be enough to support 2x1 and 2x2 subsampling for U and V
00:33:24Bagdert0mas: its just that we never actually made/got any shirts
00:33:33t0masoooooh ok

00:34:17amiconnIs the number of components available from the struct, before decoding the bitmaps?
00:34:20Bagderthis time I and Linus designed the shirts and ran for it ;-)

01:37:43warewolfdoom?
01:37:48warewolfplease tell me you're kidding
01:37:53Paul_The_Nerdmidkay: It doesn't yet run. kkurbjun changed a struct to optimize some things, and it broke compatibility with the iPod. Last I heard he was looking into it though

Most of the changes I made just got it to the "it compiles" point. And a ways into the "it tries to load the wad file" but somewhere in the process is when it dies. At least the current problem is narrowed down to this one struct, I just don't really know how to change it in relation to his changes to ever

02:09:04Shadowarrior13Bleeding Edge build :P
02:09:06linuxstbAnd starfield?
02:09:17Shadowarrior13<3 starfield
02:09:31imphasingusing your asm updater, and changing how the frame buffer gets sent to it
02:09:39imphasingYeah, starfield still only gets 23fps..
02:09:40imphasing=/
02:10:17imphasingI'm still messing with it though
02:10:48linuxstbWith the CVS driver, I'm getting 54fps in test_fps, and about 35fps in starfield.
02:10:54imphasingCreepy..
02:11:11imphasingIt seems like it's using more cpu than before, becuase if it needs to do calculations at the same time, it slows down
02:11:26josh_imphasing: yep, my driver doesn't yield()
02:11:29josh_the other one does
02:11:32imphasingAh...
02:11:34linuxstbI can't believe you're getting 100fps in test_fps. If the finishup code needs 14ms, then that implies a maximum fps of 71fps
02:12:46imphasingSince it's not yielding, it's just sucking all the cpu, so it's going to slow down dramatically if there's other work to be done
02:13:36Magnum616holy hell 100 fps...
02:13:42imphasingEh..
02:13:44imphasingNot really.
02:13:49imphasingThat's just a static refresh rate
02:13:56imphasingWith it not doing anything besides sitting there
02:13:59Magnum616better than the 54 we're getting now
02:14:04Magnum616true
02:14:04imphasingEr..
02:15:05Magnum616is anyone doing this stuff with iPodLinux...
02:15:12imphasingHis 54 is better than my 100
02:15:19Magnum616interesting...
02:15:28imphasingbecuase he's slowing it down in order to be able to execute other things at the same time
02:15:34Magnum616i see
02:15:45Magnum616i noticed the 23 fps vs 35 fps in starfield
02:16:56linuxstbShadowarrior13: That USB change is now in CVS, so you should be able to use the next bleeding edge build...

02:18:01Zoide777could that slowing down concept be applied to scrolling through files so that the music doesn't skip?
02:18:06Paul_The_NerdQuestion: I read somewhere that the iPod could potentially USB host/master/whatever. Does anyone here know?
02:18:25imphasingWhoa...not calling lcd_bcm_finishup(); really slows it down
02:18:37imphasingI'm only getting 54 in test_fps now
02:19:55linuxstbimphasing: Josh's function does the lcd_bcm_finishup() itself - you shouldn't need to call it. Which is why I think something odd is happening when you are calling it as well.
02:20:04imphasingYeah, you must be right..
02:20:18linuxstbIf you look at my CVS code, it now does the same as Josh's asm version - but in C.

02:34:50imphasingRight now, I'm scrimping all the cycles I can out of the LCD driver
02:34:56imphasingIt never got to that..
02:34:57imphasing=/
02:35:16imphasingI waited for a while, and it never did it
02:35:27linuxstbThat means the lcd updates aren't working reliably.
02:35:30imphasingyeah
02:35:37imphasingI figured my code was shoddy

02:37:19imphasingI scrimped some cycles out of that lcd driver, lets see if there's an improvement..
02:37:23imphasingI'm using the C one now
02:37:25linuxstbShadowarrior13: That means it couldn't find the rockbox.ipod file.

02:37:34josh_imphasing: how'd you scrimp the cycles?

02:37:55imphasingThere were a few places where variables were being assigned when they didn't need to be..
02:37:57imphasingI think.

02:39:09Shadowarrior13Hmm, it did it again.
02:39:24imphasinglinuxstb: How many fps do you get for 1:1 and 1:4 currently?
02:39:44linuxstbThe CVS code gives 54.0 and 84.5
02:39:50imphasinghah.

02:53:24imphasingIt seems fairly optimized, from a C standpoint.
02:53:56linuxstbYes, it's not worth spending any more time on it IMO. The main point is that it is not the bottleneck any more.

02:58:16linuxstbThe clickwheel generates an interrupt on every movement, so if you're scrolling quickly, it generates a lot of interrupts. But I haven't thought about solutions.
02:58:57Paul_The_NerdHow fast is "quickly"

02:59:40linuxstbPaul_The_Nerd: You don't have to scroll very fast for it to stop playback.
02:59:49Zoide777not at all
03:00
03:00:10Paul_The_Nerdlinuxstb: Is it just scrolling through menus, or any use of the scroll wheel?
03:00:21linuxstbI'm guessing it's use of the scrollwheel
03:00:22Zoide777and after a while i guess it just starves the sound buffer or something b/c it can skip w/ the shortest movement
03:00:42Zoide777Paul_The_Nerd: I think it's just for the songs list (since it's long enough?)
03:00:50imphasingOn that bouncing text app, if you scroll the wheel, it makes it go faster..
03:00:51imphasing=/
03:01:31Zoide777imphasing: that's so freaky. maybe there's this huge speed potential that's untapped right now and is somehow related to that :P
03:03:02Paul_The_Nerdlinuxstb: Ah, got it. Doesn't seem to happen in just volume adjustments for me, and I have to work pretty hard to get it to happen in the menus with my music, which is I guess why I hadn't encountered it yet.
03:03:39linuxstbAs I said, I haven't really investigated it, so I'm just guessing at what's going on.

04:29:04Shadowarrior13Did you get a binary from ipw?
04:29:59pyrowent from 1.03US to 1.29EU. IPW?
04:30:15Shadowarrior13If you got the firmware binary directly from your ipod, it shouldnt've changed.
04:30:22Shadowarrior13Ipod Wizard.
04:31:13pyroNo. This is for a IRiver H300. (Nothing to do with what you were talking about before). I got it from Downloads / Builds / H300
04:31:25Shadowarrior13Ah.
04:31:27Sacroyou should have the US firmware instead of EU
04:31:34Shadowarrior13I wouldn't know about that :P
04:31:46pyroNo, Firmware patched doesn't recognize or support it
04:31:56Paul_The_NerdSacro: No, not the US
04:31:59Sacrooh, ok
04:32:05Paul_The_NerdSacro: US fw doesn't work yet.
04:32:16Sacrowell im running 1.29EU with rockbox fine, but then im in the UK
04:32:22Paul_The_Nerdpyro: Do you have the file rockbox.iriver and the folder .rockbox on your H300?
04:32:29pyroI'll try the procedure again tommorow. My battery is somewhat dead and dont' have the charger tonight.
04:32:31pyroPaul: yes
04:32:45Paul_The_Nerdpyro: My best guess is you somehow updated to non-patched FW then
04:33:23pyroYeah, something is weird. THe firmware defiantly did update though. I'll try again tomorrow
04:33:35 Quit Sacro (Remote closed the connection)
04:35:10Paul_The_Nerdyeah, flashing fw without line power isn't always the best plan.
04:35:45pyroyeah, I know : ) I still have at least one bar left. But figured I'd play it safe considering something went wrong.
04:36:21Paul_The_NerdGood plan. Safe is good.

05:06:05ArrogantI know.
05:06:23ArrogantI don't know why I'm still on this channel, I took Rockbox off my iPod :(
05:06:36Shadowarrior13rofl
05:06:54Paul_The_NerdWhy'd you do that, out of curiosity?
05:07:12ArrogantEh, my files are organized flat
05:07:20ArrogantAnd I'd much rather browse via tags
05:07:29ArrogantI use foo_pod so I don't have to suffer with iTunes
05:07:41Shadowarrior13It's not like I use rockbox for the music playback
05:07:45ArrogantI have something like 3000 songs
05:08:03Shadowarrior13I use it for the games and programs :P
05:08:08ArrogantAnd I didn't really have any use for it otherwise, except STARFIELD
05:08:18ArrogantBecause the iPod controls really aren't very good for playing the games
05:08:41ArrogantAnd anything requiring letter entry took way too much time for me to bother

05:09:15ArrogantBesides, I have a TI-89 for games
05:09:17ArrogantIn class.
05:09:18ArrogantAnd my DS.
05:09:24Paul_The_NerdMan, and see the reason I was interested in it originally was the gapless and the additional format support.
05:09:55ArrogantYeah.
05:10:05ArrogantWell, the gapless is cool and the additional format support is nice
05:10:10ArrogantBut I just got done transcoding all of my songs.
05:10:14ArrogantSo it no longer matters to me.
05:10:15Shadowarrior13I have a PSP, and my DS. The ipod is more compact :P
05:10:39ArrogantI use iPod for media, DS for games.
05:10:50ArrogantiPod may be more compact but DS games are better :P
05:10:54Shadowarrior13lol
05:10:58Shadowarrior13PSP games own DS games :P
05:10:59Paul_The_NerdWhen you say "transcoding" I *hope* you mean from a lossless format to like, MP3
05:11:03imphasingI got into it for the low level programming experience.
05:11:03imphasing:P
05:11:06ArrogantYes Paul
05:11:17Paul_The_NerdShadowarrior13: PSP games are like, 90% ports from PSX/PS2 games.
05:11:24Shadowarrior13They still pwn
05:11:34Shadowarrior13Not to mention the homebrew.
05:11:39Paul_The_NerdThey're the exact same stuff I've already played.

05:14:17Paul_The_NerdI dunno, I guess since my first MP3 player didn't require any program to use it, the whole idea of having to have special software on a computer to use it kinda drives me nuts. Only reason I got an iPod was I knew how far Rockbox had come for it at the time, so I felt fairly certain it'd get done.
05:14:53Arrogant_Well, I think that using "special software" is worth it if it doesn't suck.
05:14:58Arrogant_iTunes sucks.
05:15:08Arrogant_It doesn't even know how to remove dead entries from its database.
05:15:20 Part pyro
05:15:26Fitzsimmonsheh
05:15:36Fitzsimmonsat least irivers give you the option
05:15:46Paul_The_NerdSee, I don't like *having* to use any software
05:15:53Arrogant_foo_pod is pretty awesome.
05:15:54Paul_The_NerdIt's like saying "Yeah, but the handcuffs are made of GOLD"
05:16:09Fitzsimmonshaha
05:16:16Arrogant_See
05:16:19Paul_The_Nerd'sides, Rockbox has its own database, and pretty soon it'll be able to generate it itself.
05:16:33Arrogant_Once Rockbox gets that I might reconsider
05:16:33BHSPitLappyPaul_The_Nerd: ever get rockdoom tweaked for the ipod?
05:16:51Arrogant_But at the moment, I don't want to wade through 3000 files.
05:16:58Shadowarrior13<3 doom
05:17:05Fitzsimmonsrockbox has a DB?
05:17:19Arrogant_Foobar has a tag database and I can't live without it.
05:17:21Paul_The_NerdBHSPitLappy: I'm kinda depending on KK at the moment. He made some changes taken from another source port, and they're what broke it, because of how it changes some structures. And I don't know where all of them are.
05:17:39BHSPitLappy:/
05:17:41Paul_The_NerdFitzsimmons: It's kinda dusty at the moment, and I believe only supports ID3 tagges MP3s, and OGGs.
05:17:53Paul_The_NerdArrogant_: Wade through 3000 files?
05:18:07FitzsimmonsPaul_The_Nerd: how do I generate it?
05:18:09Arrogant_Because they're not organized into directories.
05:19:08Paul_The_NerdArrogant_: You could fix that in like, an overnight run of any decent tag and rename program though. Heck, I think even Foobar can do it.

05:19:24Paul_The_NerdiPod's built in OS drives me the MOST nuts though because of its improper handling of VBR MP3s
05:19:30ArrogantFoobar can do it.
05:19:58ArrogantBut see, I don't want to do it anyway
05:20:13Paul_The_NerdFitzsimmons: http://www.rockbox.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/TagDatabase use the JAVA version, but I'm not 100% sure the database works on iPod yet. In fact I suspect it probably wont'.
05:20:25Shadowarrior13It always freezes on mine.
05:20:41Shadowarrior13I try to view the db, and it locks up.
05:20:45FitzsimmonsPaul_The_Nerd: how about iriver?
05:21:01Paul_The_NerdFitzsimmons: I have used it in the past on the h120
05:21:09Fitzsimmonsgreat, that's what I've got
05:21:16Fitzsimmonswhat's wrong with the perl version?
05:21:30Paul_The_NerdIt's older. The java version is just the newer version
05:21:48Fitzsimmonshm, okay.
05:21:53Paul_The_NerdArrogant: See, handcuffs + iPod's software doesn't play all of my MP3s == no way to it.
05:22:05ArrogantGotcha.
05:22:15ArrogantI don't think I have any VBR mp3's.
05:22:31ArrogantBecause I haven't noticed any problems.
05:24:22Paul_The_NerdArrogant: It requires a pretty decent bitrate jump in the file too, and I know the bug's only been *confirmed* on Minis and Nanos, though I saw one post mention they encountered it with some of the test files on their 4g. But I have it in several of my songs. It's part of their power saving, they don't increase the CPU in time for the bitrate spike to decode fast enough, apparently. At least, according to what I've read about it.
05:24:39ArrogantI have a 5g.
05:25:09*Paul_The_Nerd shrugs.
05:25:16Paul_The_NerdYou also said you don't think yours are vbr

05:28:17ArrogantThat is, if I could get it to work!

05:32:15Paul_The_NerdYeah, but that's not exactly something you *lose* by using Rockbox for your music playback.
05:32:17ArrogantIt really is a pain in the ass to play videos on the iPod
05:32:27ArrogantI suppose Rockbox would make that better, actually.
05:32:32Paul_The_NerdNot so much
05:32:39Paul_The_NerdBut you can still boot into Apple OS to play the video.
05:32:51ArrogantIt is a pain in the ass to add them, I should say.
05:33:04ArrogantUnless YamiPod can do it, I haven't checked.

05:33:11ArrogantiTunes requires an auto-update to add videos.

05:33:28Paul_The_NerdAnd photos?

05:33:33ArrogantNeither of which I use.
05:33:33Shadowarrior13An auto update on the ipod?
05:33:41Paul_The_NerdShadowarrior13: Autosync, I imagine
05:33:42Shadowarrior13Or iTunes itself?
05:33:46ArrogantShadowarrior13, auto-sync
05:33:52Shadowarrior13You can change it to manual...
05:33:58ArrogantNot for videos, as far as I can tell

05:34:20Shadowarrior13It's not hard :P
05:35:34ArrogantOh, right.
05:35:44ArrogantIt can't transfer videos until the music is done if you have auto-sync.
05:35:49ArrogantThat was what was frustrating.
05:36:00Shadowarrior13Then don't use auto-sync :P
05:36:11Arrogantfoo_pod has this nasty bug where it adds the songs to the Movies list
05:36:13ArrogantI don't know wh.
05:36:14Arrogantwhy*.
05:36:18Shadowarrior13It's just as easy to click and drag "All" to your iPod.
05:36:24Shadowarrior13Yeah, sharepod does that too.
05:36:39Arrogantfoo_pod doesn't chop up my tags though
05:36:54Shadowarrior13Neither does sharepod :P
05:37:04ArrogantI mean, compared to iTunes
05:37:08Shadowarrior13Ah.
05:37:44ArrogantiTunes does things like make "Several Species Of Small Furry Animals Gathered Together In A Cave And Grooving With A Pict" to "Several Species of Small Furr" or something
05:38:12Shadowarrior13Never did that to my shit.
05:38:28ArrogantI don't know why it does it to mine then
05:38:40Shadowarrior13Maybe it just doesn't like you.
05:38:46ArrogantI imagine it doesn't
05:39:18ArrogantI might also mention that i don't care much for Rockbox's interface
05:40:37Paul_The_NerdWhat, the text based menus?
05:41:57ArrogantWell, returning from the Now Playing to the music folder
05:42:05ArrogantI can't even remember how to do that right now
05:42:19Shadowarrior13Hit action.
05:42:30ArrogantThe Apple firmware seemed more user friendly is all.
05:42:30Shadowarrior13Don't hold it.
05:43:04Paul_The_NerdMan, when I first tried using the apple software I hated it. Seemed like back should be back, not menu.
05:43:10Paul_The_NerdIt's all a matter of what you're used to.
05:43:17ArrogantI don't think that Menu should open preferences since they're not really something I modify all the time.
05:43:25Paul_The_NerdMenu opens the Menu
05:43:52Shadowarrior13Yeah, confused the hell out of me when I got a mini randomly for christmas.
05:43:56ArrogantCertainly it should probably say Back instead, but yeah.
05:44:34Paul_The_NerdSo, it's really button assignments that bother you, rather than the interface itself?
05:44:55ArrogantNo, that's just part of it.
05:45:18ArrogantOn the iPod, everything is very much oriented to the top of the screen.
05:45:38ArrogantI tried different themes and such
05:45:54Paul_The_NerdWait, are you talking about the While Playing Screen now?
05:45:58ArrogantBut they all leave a lot of screen space empty
05:46:22ArrogantAt the moment yes
05:46:33Paul_The_NerdBecause other than album art you can fully recreate an iPod one.
05:46:39ArrogantI understand this is probably due to the change in resolution
05:47:00Paul_The_NerdIt's pretty much entirely customizable.

05:49:13Paul_The_NerdIf you don't like it, don't use it. I was just curious why you don't.
05:49:16Shadowarrior13Took me 3 minutes starting from scratch/.
05:49:25imphasingTo do?
05:49:44ArrogantI'll probably try it once more development has gone into the port
05:49:46Shadowarrior13rockbox.
05:49:55ArrogantThings are a bit buggy all around
05:49:56Paul_The_NerdThere's also never really a reason to remove the bootloader.
05:50:05Paul_The_NerdArrogant: What sort of bugs have you come across?
05:50:15ArrogantPaul_The_Nerd, the iPod does power off after a while
05:50:17Shadowarrior13Yes there is, it gets terribly annoying when it's rebooting :P
05:50:20ArrogantNot just sleep mode
05:50:39 Quit SereRokR (Read error: 110 (Connection timed out))
05:50:48Paul_The_NerdWhat, like listening to music?
05:51:03ArrogantPaul_The_Nerd, it seems when shutting down rockbox, it doesn't clear the screen
05:51:22ArrogantSo I have to reboot into Apple firmware to put it away
05:51:36Paul_The_NerdYour nintendo DS doesn't clear the screen either
05:52:05Paul_The_NerdThat's not so much a "bug"
05:52:24ArrogantI don't see why Apple doesn't do it then
05:52:26Paul_The_NerdBut I'm curious, what do you mean that it shuts down?
05:52:34Arrogant[ Shutting down ]
05:52:46Paul_The_NerdI mean, does it randomly turn off in use?
05:52:51Shadowarrior13What the hell?
05:52:55Shadowarrior13Disk check finished...
05:53:02Paul_The_NerdOr are you talking about the fact that it actually turns off, rather than sleeping, to save battery.
05:53:04Shadowarrior13And a broken directory was turned into a file 0_o
05:53:06ArrogantOh. No. I mean when I intentionally do it.
05:53:26Paul_The_NerdAnd that's a *bug* that it shuts down when you tell it to?
05:53:45ArrogantNo. We're talking about the screen
05:53:59ArrogantLeaves residual images on after power off
05:54:05ArrogantI don't know if they FADE AWAY or something but

05:54:52ArrogantRockbox has a sleep feature, right?
05:55:02ArrogantI thought I saw one.

05:55:12Paul_The_NerdIt has a "Sleep Timer"
05:55:16Paul_The_NerdMaybe you saw that
05:55:18ArrogantAh
05:55:29ArrogantApple's Sleep mode is much more appealing to me.
05:55:42Paul_The_NerdBecause it spends 12 hours slowly eating battery when you're not using it?
05:55:46Shadowarrior13Yeah, rockbox needs to be able to sleep.
05:56:06ArrogantI plug the iPod in often enough
05:56:33BHSPitMonkeyhey. did JdGordon ever finish his color picker?

05:58:37Paul_The_NerdOdd. I dunno, I guess we're just very different sorts of people. I prefer flexibility and functionality, and you prefer the ability to sit back and left the software handle things.

05:59:44ArrogantPaul_The_Nerd, at least in the case of my music.
05:59:58ArrogantOf course, gaps bug me.
06:00
06:00:14ArrogantThat's really the biggest thing I'd fix with the iPod's firmware.
06:01:18Paul_The_NerdSee, I really like replaygain, though apple has their "sound check" thing. And having a real equalizer is nice too.
06:02:34ArrogantI'll keep checking in with Rockbox though
06:02:56ArrogantBesides. I might be able to edit it to suit my wants later on.
06:03:17bakavicI was wondering, is booting from power off is pretty fast for rockbox as compared to booting with apple OS?
06:03:53ArrogantYes it is
06:03:56ArrogantMuch faster
06:03:58bakavicOf course, it probably isn''t as fast as booting up from sleep mode, i guess
06:04:07Paul_The_NerdIt's not as fast as booting up from sleep mode
06:04:31ArrogantPlus sleep mode goes to the menu you were last in.
06:04:48Paul_The_NerdBut, it's possible to completely remove AppleOS from your ipod, at which point the boot time increases even more. Though, I wouldn't necessarily go this path. ;-)
06:05:15ArrogantNah.
06:05:23Paul_The_NerdNah what?
06:05:30ArrogantI wouldn't do it either.
06:05:34Paul_The_NerdYeah
06:05:39ArrogantEven if I liked Rockbox more
06:05:51ArrogantBecause I doubt Rockbox will ever play videos
06:05:59Paul_The_NerdThe idea was to actually put Apple_OS into a .bin file and you could load it from the Fat32 partition during boot, but it wasn't part of the boot process any more.
06:06:15Paul_The_NerdAnd, Rockbox has played videos on previous targets, so I don't know why you doubt it ever will
06:06:21ArrogantHas it really?
06:06:24Paul_The_NerdYup
06:06:28ArrogantI thought it was a music thing only.
06:06:34Paul_The_NerdMusic is the primary focus

06:07:35ArrogantRight.
06:07:42ArrogantThe ipod's default video capabilities.
06:08:00bakavicI thought the video on the 5g was pretty good - what's bad about it?
06:08:05Paul_The_NerdYeah, but saying "The ipod's" makes it sound like you're talking about the hardware
06:08:17ArrogantConverting to mp4 is a pain
06:08:30ArrogantVideo conversions take a lot longer
06:08:53ArrogantAnd I see mp4 videos in... iTunes and Google Videos
06:08:56ArrogantI can't really think of anything else

06:14:42ArrogantMusic playback with an interface I liked
06:15:41ArrogantI could've avoided a lot of transcoding with Rockbox, but I wouldn't have been happy with it
06:16:18bakavicbecause of interface?
06:17:15bakavicneed to give the rockbox devs sometime to sort out things first - then the interface can be worked on
06:17:29 Quit imphasing (Connection timed out)
06:17:31Paul_The_NerdOr he could always contribute.
06:17:58bakavicthe current keymap feels like it's more suited for a thumbstick then the ipod wheel
06:18:18ArrogantAgreed
06:18:34ArrogantUnfortunately, to contribute, I'd have to learn C.
06:18:46bakavicpressing menu and the middle key to exit pluguns was one of the more weird parts of the keymap
06:19:54bakavicI too want to contribute, but I know nuts about low-level stuff to help out with the port I'm interested in (iriver ifp)
06:19:56Paul_The_NerdWell, the ipod is woefully short on buttons.
06:20:18Paul_The_NerdAlso, keymaps are far from final, since what you're playing with isn't near "release" at all
06:20:35ArrogantRight
06:20:54JdGordonBHSPitMonkey: its been finished for ages.. it just needs some1 to figure out the best way to use it
06:21:03ArrogantWell, the iPod has enough buttons
06:21:17ArrogantThe Apple OS is designed to be simple
06:21:36ArrogantIt just makes it shit for this kind of hack
06:22:42Paul_The_NerdWhat do you mean?
06:23:27ArrogantIt doesn't have the right control scheme for a more advanced OS
06:23:43BHSPitMonkeyJdGordon: how do I get it?
06:23:56ArrogantIt really isn't even suited for left/right navigation
06:23:58JdGordonits not a proper patch yet.. its till only the widget
06:24:00Paul_The_NerdI dunno. It works fine for me, but then I didn't spend any time getting used to the Apple control scheme first.
06:24:08BHSPitMonkeyJdGordon: all I want is to be able to adjust the values and see that color displayed, I'm not even worried about it doing something
06:24:19bakavicthere has got to be some way to have a more natural keymap - it's just that if we adopted something similar to the apple OS, stuff like bejewelled, which require directional buttons, will be screwed up
06:24:26BHSPitMonkeyJdGordon: I need to see how colors appear in real life on the lcd
06:24:27ArrogantI don't like having to roll up, then press right
06:24:34Paul_The_Nerdbakavic: Plugins define their own personal keymaps
06:24:49Paul_The_Nerdroll up then press right?
06:24:49JdGordonBHSPitLappy: ill fix it up for ya in a plugin then.. when i get back.. 30min or so
06:24:56BHSPitMonkeythanks :)
06:26:17ArrogantPaul_The_Nerd, yes, navigating up requires the circular thumb motion on the ring
06:26:28ArrogantThen a button press for right
06:26:57Paul_The_NerdArrogant: You mean like, in lists?
06:27:16bakavichmm, how should I say it...if the main OS is using one keymap scheme, and a plugin wants to use another, it would be confusing for the user
06:27:22ArrogantNo, like in games, or in plugins with string entry
06:27:34Paul_The_NerdArrogant: In most games you can also just tap Menu or Play to move up or down.
06:27:58ArrogantOh.
06:28:05Paul_The_NerdDidn't even try?
06:28:06ArrogantWell then.
06:28:14ArrogantI just assumed.
06:28:24ArrogantThe thought didn't even occur to me, actually
06:28:34bakaviclol, it didn't occur to me too
06:28:54Paul_The_NerdHehehe
06:29:17ArrogantNow, the PERFECT plugin for this
06:29:22ArrogantWould be to read the iTunesDB
06:29:45ArrogantSo that your Apple OS songs could be played within Rockbox
06:29:47Paul_The_NerdWell, there's code to read the iTunesDB in iPodLinux
06:30:09Paul_The_NerdSo all it'd take is someone to spend some time adapting it. There's already been a few people who've talked about doing it, though I don't know how serious any of them are.
06:30:15ArrogantThat way I could use the conventional OS or play around with Rockbox
06:30:41ArrogantAt some point I might adapt Rockbox entirely
06:30:49Paul_The_NerdAdapt it to do what?

06:33:33Paul_The_NerdWell, ideally it's for people who want to use a whole new firmware anyway. It exists alongside previous firmware, but most people who use it *tend* to use it exclusively.
06:34:56Paul_The_NerdBut it sounds like in the end, you'd probably just prefer to stay with Apple OS
06:36:48ArrogantProbably
06:36:51ArrogantBut then again
06:37:00ArrogantIf it gets rid of the inconvenience of using foo_pod
06:37:04ArrogantAnd, worse, iTunes
06:38:14bakavichmm, I guess it depends on whether you like filetree navigation, or db navigation
06:38:35bakavicI feel that is the biggest hurdle for people coming over from the apple OS
06:38:58ArrogantI use Foobar

06:41:09bakaviclol, true true
06:42:29bakavicI have not use foo_pod before, but i think it should be able to write separate directories for each album
06:42:47Arrogantfoo_pod doesn't do that
06:42:58Arrogantfoo_pod is for transfering songs to your iPod from Foobar
06:43:08ArrogantFoobar2000 can do a mass rename\reorganize though
06:43:28ArrogantI don't know why, I just prefer to have my music in one folder
06:43:47ArrogantFilenames are "Artist - Album - [track] Title"
06:44:04ArrogantPossibly (Disc #) right after Album
06:44:32ArrogantIt has something to do with having quite a few incomplete albums
06:45:12bakavicwouldn't doing this make it very hard to navigate by filetree?

08:00:57amiconn(no offense)
08:01:19XavierGramiconn: one way or the other something similar has to be done for a picture viewer.
08:01:34XavierGrmany people would ask for it.
08:02:30Bg3rokay, it just uses the beginning of the plugin buffer (on platforms with at least 130k plugin buffer)/audio buffer (on platforms with less plugin buffer) for an array of pointers to jpegs in the current dir
08:02:37XavierGrand seeing iriver's implementation on this many could say that we should include something to changes files from within the plugin. IMHO always
08:03:34amiconnI don't care how iriver does it. The iriver viewer is crap, as it includes no zoom. It even doesn't use the whole display
08:03:56XavierGramiconn: I agree we have to do it better,
08:04:24XavierGrthat's why I thing that an option to change files is good.
08:04:33amiconnBg3r: The array for multi-viewing is probably no problem. What might one are the view-while-playback changes
08:05:13Bg3ramiconn if you dont touch the plugin_main() func there shouldn't be any problem
08:05:14amiconnFor colour we need to allocate 3 bitmaps from the buffer instead of 1
08:05:20amiconnI have to
08:05:58Bg3rare you working on this atm ?
08:07:13amiconnplugin_main(), get_image(), min_downscale() and scroll_bmp() all need work

08:10:46amiconn...and the MYXLCD(gray_bitmap_part)() will change too
08:13:23amiconnThe memory allocation in get_image() will change, and the display structure will get additional members
08:14:14Bg3rhm, then i don't see a big problem
08:14:43XavierGrpheww...
08:15:08Bg3rXavierGr ?
08:19:21amiconnThe 'view while playing' feature will be less useful with colour

09:53:26[IDC]Dragonhi there
09:53:47amiconnIs there a reason why your yuv->rgb conversion doesn't use the standard matrix?
09:53:52[IDC]Dragonno
09:54:31[IDC]DragonI didn't care to search, so I just took what somebody posted in the forum
09:54:50amiconnIt seems that your version increases both contrast and colour saturation
09:55:59[IDC]DragonI just wanted to get the test code going
09:56:31amiconnI'll take this one: http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/JPEG#Farbraumumrechung_2

11:43:13markunI changed the SDL sim to use PNG images for the backgrounds. What do you think of it?
11:44:08B4gdersounds clever to me
11:44:28markunI'll try what happens with transparency :)
11:46:30markunToo bad, no transparent window :)
11:56:22safetydanDoesn't that add another compile dependency?

11:56:39markunyes, I am
11:56:59markunThe size of the SDL dir went form 2.9 to 1.2 MB
11:57:11safetydanWell if you convince people to make that a dependency, then I can use it for scaling the display during blits
11:59:32safetydanAny other reason to use PNGs apart from file size?
12:00
12:00:25linuxstbAre the images compiled into the sim, or loaded at runtime?
12:00:55safetydanloaded at runtime
12:01:03linuxstbWhy don't we just compile them in?
12:01:09linuxstbUsing bmp2rb
12:01:12safetydantoo lazy to modify the makefile :)

12:01:56safetydanIt's on my TODO list but haven't got around

12:02:53webguest11Hi
12:03:28webguest11There is a slight problem with audio playback on the iPod Rockbox (5g Video). The playback is very stuttery, keeps stopping and starting
12:03:29linuxstbmarkun: How big?
12:03:45linuxstbwebguest11: What kind of files are you playing?
12:03:55webguest11just normal MP3 files
12:03:56markunit was over 1MB, now 160KB
12:04:15linuxstbwebguest11: Are you using the very latest version of Rockbox?
12:04:25webguest11I am, I updated it yesterday
12:04:39linuxstbCan you update again now and let me know if it's better?
12:05:07linuxstbI can play 320kbps files without problems on my 5g now.
12:05:14webguest11ok
12:05:21webguest11My file bitrates are 192kbs
12:06:04webguest11Also when shutting down in ipod rockbox, does it put it into sleep mode or does it turn the device off completly?
12:06:49linuxstbIt puts it into a "standby" mode - which is as close as the ipod gets to off.
12:07:22webguest11so its not possible to turn it off completly then? just a bit worried about battery drain
12:07:55linuxstbDon't worry - you can leave it in standby mode for weeks.
12:08:02linuxstbIt uses almost zero battery afaik.
12:08:25webguest11So what would happen if for some reason the battery drained to rock-bottom empty so it wouldn't turn on again, Is it still chargeable?
12:08:46linuxstbYes, I've done that several times.
12:08:51webguest11ok
12:09:03webguest11because i thought li-ion batteries conk out when fully discharged
12:09:15linuxstbI normally turn it on, and then force it into emergency disk mode, and charge from there.
12:09:37linuxstbThe ipod doesn't let the batteries go completely empty - the hardware shuts down.
12:10:17webguest11ok
12:10:27webguest11anyway just downloading the latest daily build
12:14:26linuxstbmarkun: Is it a 24-bit bitmap? How does it look in 8-bit? (I'm assuming you can have 8 bit bmps)
12:14:43safetydanmarkun, doesn't BMP support RLE?
12:16:04webguest11nope, same problem happening, and this is using a 128kbs mp3 file
12:17:30webguest11stuttery playback
12:17:54linuxstbCan you go into the main menu, then Info, then Version and tell me what version number (date and time) it says at the bottom of the screen with the logo?
12:18:12webguest11one sec
12:18:48webguest11version 060217
12:19:07webguest11CVS-060217
12:19:11Bg3rlinuxstb btw, won't it be better if this version number is taken from the CVS ?
12:19:14webguest11thats the version currently installed
12:19:27webguest11CVS-060217
12:19:39linuxstbBg3r: Where in CVS?
12:19:50Bg3rlinuxstb like the time of the checkout ...
12:20:10Bg3rthe update...
12:20:43Bg3rbecause i can run a version from the last year but if i compile it today, it'll get today's date
12:21:40webguest11well thats the version i am using
12:21:56linuxstbDo you have a lot of sound processing enabled, such as the eq?
12:22:03webguest11well eq is enabled, yes
12:22:20linuxstbTry disabling it - just to test.
12:22:26webguest11ok
12:22:53linuxstbThe ipod port still isn't optimised - so trying to make the cpu do too much at once causes problems.
12:23:29webguest11seems okay
12:23:33linuxstbThe 5g does have a hardware equaliser, so we'll probably enable access to that at some point. That can be used without any CPU overhead.
12:23:46webguest11i;ve turned the eq off, playback seems oka
12:23:47webguest11y
12:24:03preglowhmm
12:24:16preglowi should measure exactly how much cpu the eq takes for the different platforms some time
12:24:20webguest11I have noticed that Rockbox volume and bass can be seriously ramped up without significant clipping
12:24:23preglowi do however now i can't make it much faster
12:24:29preglowknow too
12:24:32webguest11the iPod fw clips easily on heavy bass
12:24:37linuxstbpreglow: Is there an ARM version of the eq code?
12:24:43preglowlinuxstb: eq_arm.S
12:25:03aegrayyou people are too productive
12:25:03linuxstbThought it was still in C...
12:25:16preglowthere is no c version
12:25:20webguest11Just a few other things, Jpegs still show in greyscale and Screen invert/upside down don't work
12:25:21preglowonly asm versions
12:25:33linuxstbx86 version for the sim? :)
12:25:35preglowwebguest11: we know this...
12:25:40preglowlinuxstb: no sim version...
12:25:41webguest11ok
12:25:54preglowi had some trouble making the sim version work without having to shift the intermediates into oblivion
12:26:17preglowbut if it works in arm, it should work in c as well
12:26:20preglow_on_ arm
12:26:21preglowghahrgh
12:26:56preglowi don't think i can make either the coldfire or the arm version much faster, the innerloop pretty much only does just what is needed right now
12:27:05 Part petur
12:27:07preglowa bigger gain can be found by feeding the eq routine bigger blocks

12:29:48webguest11oh right
12:30:06webguest11Would it be possible to match the scrolling to how fast you use the scrollwheel like the iPod fw?

12:31:14webguest11Just out of curisoty, is the iPod 3g supported in Rockbox, not that it matters as I have the 5f
12:31:15webguest115g
12:31:36webguest11because i know the 3g has a different control layout compared to other versions of the iPod
12:31:46webguest11with those 4 seperate touchbuttons
12:31:57preglow3g support is on the way
12:32:01webguest11just wondered
12:32:04linuxstbThe 3g is very different to the 4g and later - not just the keys.
12:32:19webguest11I never liked the 3g, thought it looked odd with those 4 seperate touchpads
12:32:33webguest11i preferred the look of the 1st and 2nd g models
12:33:33webguest11Finally, I understand a radio remote is coming for the 5g models, would this be supported (radio and keys) and an option to record from the radio?
12:34:10linuxstbIt won't be supported immediately. Someone would need to write support for it.
12:34:18webguest11yea i know, was just curious
12:34:34preglowlinuxstb: didn't someone post a patch?

12:37:56webguest11ipod rockbox! duh!
12:38:04preglowit's just "rockbox"
12:38:04linuxstbQuestion to the other devs - I know we don't have a GUI colour selector yet (or do we?), but would there be an objections in adding settings for fg/bg colour and WPS tags, so at least the colours can be changed from .cfg files? We can add the gui to the settings menu later.
12:38:20ashridahwho coined 'ipodbox' anyway?
12:38:34preglowlinuxstb: sure, but those settings might not be needed later anyway
12:38:41linuxstbHow do you mean?
12:38:55webguest11but some bigger fonts are needed for the 5gs larg screen
12:39:01webguest11the small fonts look very lost

12:41:01linuxstbpreglow: How much CPU time does using all 5 eq bands take, compared to using 1 ?
12:42:44pregloweach eq band takes as much cpu as any other
12:42:56preglowfor processing, at least
12:43:26preglowi don't know the gui system intimately, but that just comes into play when adjusting parameters

12:45:01linuxstbI need to look at the 5g's audio driver again sometime, so may try adding support for the hardware eq.
12:45:39 Quit webguest11 ("CGI:IRC (Ping timeout)")
12:45:56preglowghah
12:46:05preglowwhy do people persist in believing rds is possible
12:46:16ep0chimho i don't think the software eq should be available for ipod when hardware eq works
12:46:26ep0chrds?
12:46:27preglowep0ch: it's faaar from as flexible
12:46:41preglowthere are only about four-five frequencies you can use for each band
12:46:46preglowand only two bandwidth settings
12:47:06ep0chi was playing with software eq on ipod lastnight, seemed to use up loads more cpu than on ihp
12:47:21Papricamm
12:47:31linuxstbep0ch: What's the harm in making it available?
12:47:36Papricawhy bubbeks game isnt commit to the cvs?
12:47:38ep0chwell nothing
12:47:58ep0chbut quite confusing if there are two eqs :)
12:48:12linuxstbWe don't know how good the hardware eq is yet - we can decide afterwards which ones to leave in.
12:48:20Bg3rep0ch but the hardware one comes for free...
12:51:53preglowep0ch: it might take a smidgeon more, yeah, but you'll also notice it easier on ipod
12:52:34preglowthe coldfire is more suited to that kind of work than the ipod
12:52:45preglowthe arm, i mean
12:52:57ep0chbut hey early days, there's still another cpu available if needed
12:53:47preglowwe need to figure out how to use that one, yes

13:04:22safetydanlinuxstb, for color settings in what format would we store them?
13:04:36safetydanI have some slider code in the EQ settings that could probably be turned in to a widget for a color setting GUI.
13:05:48preglowyeah, it should
13:05:53preglowwe just need to figure out how that is to work
13:06:05linuxstbsafetydan: I would suggest 6 hex digits
13:06:14safetydanNo alpha? Bah. :)
13:06:18linuxstb(in the .cfg file)

13:09:00safetydanAre there any color displays with palettes?
13:09:06B4gderwe need to keep the full resolution to be able to save a .cfg

13:09:32safetydanone less thing to worry about then
13:12:16linuxstbB4gder: We could just map back from 16-bits to 24-bits.
13:12:44B4gderright, but it wouldn't be the exact same digits

13:28:20krmathisHi guys. Are there any plans to allow us Mac OS X users to install and run Rockbox on our HFS+ formatted iPod's?
13:28:46B4gdernot likely to happen soon
13:29:00B4gderthe advice is to reformat to vfat
13:29:38linuxstbkrmathis: 1) It is a lot of work; and 2) No developers have HFS formatted ipods.
13:29:42krmathisBut afaik thats not possible from OS X
13:30:01B4gderreally?
13:30:07linuxstbUnfortunately not. But I'm sure you know someone with a Windows PC...
13:30:49Mikachudoes osx have device nodes?
13:30:58linuxstbYes - it's Unix.
13:31:06Mikachuthen there's a fair chance mkdosfs will work
13:31:49Mikachuor you can create a dosfs of the right size on another computer and cat it to the device in osx
13:32:18Mikachuwhere the point is you can send the image over the internet but not the ipod
13:32:23linuxstbIt could be possible to do it manually - but it's not straightforward. You'll need to recreate the partitions exactly the same as Windows iTunes does it.
13:32:43Mikachui ran mkdosfs and everything works fine
13:33:07linuxstbMikachu: In which case, please put a tutorial in the wiki - so others can do the same.
13:33:10preglowdoesn't apple ship all new ipods as fat32?
13:33:29krmathisMikachu. Simply format the drive with 'mkdosfs', then install Rockbox on it?
13:33:46Mikachui ran this command, mkdosfs -F 32 -n IPOD /dev/disk/by-label/IPOD
13:33:55krmathisBut the Rockbox tools are Win32 only. Or am I missing something
13:34:12Mikachuthey work fine in linux
13:34:30linuxstbkrmathis: Not really. I can put together a set of binaries for Mac OS if there is a demand.
13:34:57linuxstbAn "installation from Mac OS" page would be useful - including instructions for converting from HFS to FAT32.
13:35:06krmathisipodpatcher.exe looks like Win32 to me. ...and I cant get the source to compile
13:35:13preglowits win32
13:35:20Mikachuyou don't need that program if you're not on windows..
13:35:41linuxstbMikachu: Have you installed from Mac OS?
13:35:55Mikachuno, and my ipod was already fat
13:36:09krmathisAs linuxstb say. If its possible from mac OS X I suggest you write a small simple tutorial
13:36:28linuxstbBecause Mac OS has the same problem as cygwin - it doesn't give you device nodes for "empty" partitions. So you can only access the boot partition via the "whole disk" device.
13:36:50linuxstbI've written an equivalent to ipodpatcher.exe for Mac OS, but just haven't released it yet.
13:36:51Mikachuhm, change the type temporarily with fdisk then?
13:37:51linuxstbMikachu: We should be trying to make the installation as easy as possible...

13:39:05linuxstbkrmathis: I'll try and write Mac OS installation instructions this weekend - but I probably won't include anything about converting to FAT32. So you may want to try finding a Windows PC you can use.
13:39:39krmathisOk, thanks so far!
13:39:57linuxstbBut then again, if you find a Windows PC, you can install the bootloader from there....
13:41:29krmathisIf it cant be done with 'mkdosfs' I am not able to try this. Since I dont have access to a Windows computer. All my friends are PowerBook users as well..

13:43:45 Quit _FireFly_ ("Leaving")
13:44:20linuxstbkrmathis: The problem will be keeping Apple's firmware happy. But give it a go and see what happens. The worse that can happen is that you will need to run Apple's IPod Restorer to restore it.
13:44:56linuxstbThe long-term aim would be for someone to write a Mac installer program to do it for you.
13:46:01krmathisYes, that would be the ideal solution. Just install the bootloader, then run Rockbox from the HFS+ filesystem

13:47:44Zagorkrmathis: rockbox is not likely to support HFS in the forseeable future
13:49:00preglowwe would surely need some dedicated hfs wizard to implement it for us
13:49:11preglowand then we'd need to work on our fs code
13:49:19krmathisThats sad. Since we are talking Apple hardware here, which mean lots of the iPod users probably also have other Apple hardware! ;)

13:52:31markunpreglow: A for abort, MENU for menu and POWER for other things.
13:52:36krmathisI would have been a lot easier if the iPod Restore application allowed cross-formatting the iPod's. Ex. fat32 from Mac OS X
13:52:44linuxstbkrmathis: Ask Apple :)
13:52:48krmathis:D

13:56:03preglowwhy'd you need SDL_image?
13:56:10safetydanI'm not sure there's enough benefit to adding that dependency as it will complicate the build process even more
13:56:21safetydanpreglow, because SDL only supports BMP images
13:56:22B4gderI can agree with that
13:56:29preglowjust convert it ...
13:56:32safetydanSDL_image extends that to include other image formats

14:03:46preglowhrmph

14:33:15B4gderI mailed the guy who did the "M3" article on us a year ago
14:33:29t0mashmm... If I get it through... it will be in Dutch
14:33:38t0masbut in one of the major pc magazines here
14:33:52t0masso it might attract new users... lots of ipods an irivers here :)
14:34:38t0masthe news item isn't my thing... and I don't think they will fit in "rockbox devcon" next to "Intel strats selling bla bla"
14:34:58B4gderno, that won't interest anyone
14:35:03t0masindeed
14:35:28t0masand the hacking part will be small too... but using a device with opensource firmware is s subject I might get them interested in

15:04:54[IDC]DragonI thought iriver does fine?
15:05:05amiconnCurrently it's more buggy than before lostlogic's changes
15:05:11amiconnNot it doesn't
15:05:20lostlogic:(
15:05:41amiconnSometimes it's chopped, pre-emption still doesn't work, and startup is unreliable at best

15:14:04[IDC]Dragonyuck
15:14:30preglowlinuxstb: yes, it should
15:14:32preglowlinuxstb: i fixed it anyway
15:14:39[IDC]Dragondon't expect a yuv converter to improve that
15:14:53preglowlinuxstb: i just moved the fiq return sequence to the fiq() function, and made the crt0.S fiq handler a simple ldr
15:14:57Mikachudoes a 3264x2448 image fit in 32MB ram?
15:15:01[IDC]Dragonthat's a task in the same order of magnitude
15:15:22amiconnYUV->RGB will only be done for the visible area
15:15:26preglowif it wasn't for XavierGr's patch, it'd suggest you start using iram
15:15:34preglowi'd
15:15:47amiconn[IDC]Dragon: 1/8 resolution takes ~5 sec
15:16:24amiconnMikachu: Yes. Even without subsampling, an 8MP picture will take 24MB when decoded at full resolution
15:16:43amiconnAdd the compressed size to the RAM requirements (~2MB in my case)
15:17:07amiconn...but I guess that the picture uses subsampling, so it will take less than 24MB
15:17:22[IDC]Dragonit could be an alternative to decode from file, instead of RAM
15:17:48[IDC]Dragonslower, and the disk spinning during decoding
15:18:04preglowlinuxstb: what does that callback_for_more do? buffer copying?
15:18:28linuxstbI don't think so - I think it just returns a pointer and a size.
15:18:44preglowthen i want that in asm as well
15:18:50pregloweverything involved in the fiq handler should be asm
15:18:53linuxstbYou'll have to ask lostlogic.
15:19:09*preglow asks lostlogic
15:19:23linuxstbBut that callback for more only happens once every 5000 interrrupts I think. So you could just save the registers on the stack.
15:19:37preglowah, alright
15:19:45preglow'cause so far i do no stack operations at all
15:19:54linuxstbSorry, once every 1000 interrupts.
15:20:09linuxstbThe fifo is 32-bytes, and I think callback_for_more gives 32kb chunks of data.
15:21:26linuxstbThere are about 5500 interrupts per second - for 44.1KHz/16-bit stereo.

15:32:24B4gderI have a main loop in my work code on ARM9, with inline functions for reading our custom hw. Without gcc's opts, the loop is 55 ARM instructions. With -O3, it is 9 instructions!
15:33:03preglowhahaha

15:35:12linuxstbpreglow: The FIFO format is being set to use 32-bit words, but the I2S word size is 16-bit. We could possibly change that, but I don't have time to experiment now.
15:35:48linuxstbHopefully we could just do a 32-bit read from the buffer and a single write to the FIFO.

16:19:37preglowh3x0 has, ipod has, archos recorder (i think) has it
16:19:57preglowbut h1x0 and some of the others do not have it, so they can't log when something was played without resorting to hacks that will not always work
16:20:01rjif there's no clock you could interpolate times i suppose
16:20:06rjthe main thing is that the sequence is stored
16:20:15rjthats something we need to consider tho..

16:28:07rjjust writing the song data to a text file whenever a song was played would be ideal for audioscrobbler support
16:28:27rjthen it can be parsed and submitted when the device is hooked up to the computer
16:28:28Lynx_rj: and you would write a program that get's the file off the player and submits?

16:29:06peturbut only log it if played at least half or for xx minutes?
16:29:32rjyeah.. although for the protocol revision, that will change to a more flexible "submit when you've listened to at least half the song"
16:29:42rjso that seeking past the intro doesnt stop submission
16:29:44linuxstbpreglow: I'm not sure. It's whatever the callback function gives us. But I would think it's a safe bet.

16:31:05preglowrj: goodie
16:31:15linuxstbrj: Logging playback to a text file sounds easily doable.
16:31:19Lynx_rj: also one's with stock firmware?
16:31:29preglowrj: just figure out an import format that's sensible and good, and you'll see rockbox audioscrobbler support eventually
16:31:31rjLynx_: some, depends if they keep an easily readable db
16:31:39preglowit doesn't
16:31:39rjipod is easy, there's tonnes of free code
16:31:45Lynx_ok
16:31:57rjbut if rockbox could write to a text file, we can look for that file
16:32:00preglowipod doesn't log playtime, does it?
16:32:01rjand parse it.. no problem
16:32:17rjpreglow: i think most ipods just log aggregate data
16:32:21rjnot every time a song was played
16:32:28rjbut we'll support aggregate submissions too
16:32:29linuxstbpreglow: Yes, I think it does. You have things like "25 most recently played" smart playlist
16:33:10Lynx_linuxstb: heh, ipods have stuff rockbox doesn't? ;)
16:33:18preglowyeah, but not _when_ a song has been played? and not how much of it was played?

16:33:51preglowit's more or less the only thing retailos does right

20:49:38aegraynot sure - we were talking about it but no action afaik
20:49:48amiconnSome C99 features are used in the rockbox sources, but some others are unwanted
20:49:55safetydanlinuxstb, it's usually obvious, just I'm used to doing that in Java
20:50:18*aegray makes a class for i to change ++ to increment by a random amount
20:51:15lostlogicUnfortunately an important bug fix is what caused at least part of the problem, specifically the audio not boosting when it needs to during other CPU intensive tasks...
20:52:07lostlogicIt used to boost on the DMA interrupt as needed, but it's not allowed to any more, however if the codec thread gets to run sufficiently to decode ~1/20s of audio it should boot any way
20:52:31lostlogicboost
20:53:38lostlogicPaprica: does brickmania use a timer interrupt that does a lot of work on an interrupt handler?
20:53:50lostlogicPaprica: because that could cause the audio thread not to be able to boost as it needs to.
20:54:13linuxstblostlogic: No, I think it just sleeps to maintain a fixed fps.
20:54:46Papricalostlogic, you dont have sound too?
20:54:56linuxstbMaybe it's simply a case of not enough yields (or maybe no yields)
20:55:10lostlogicPaprica: yeah, after a while, the CPU doesn't manage to boost when it needs to in order to maintain the audio buffer
20:55:29lostlogicwhich I know changed when I took the pcmbuf boost out of the DMA interrupt
20:56:00Papricai dont think that i change somthing that could do it..
20:56:41lostlogicPaprica: no, it's definitely my change that made it stop working, but the question is why does brickmania cause it, because the other thing that causes it is the repeated interrupts of scrolling
20:56:46safetydanbah, missed the compile window
20:57:05safetydanAnyway, EQ should use less CPU when it's being modified from the GUI

21:09:25lostlogicthe only problem is that when it's running unboosted (which means it's running below target frame rate already on h300) it runs even a little bit slower
21:09:35lostlogicbut it has to yield every frame in order to be cooperating nicely

21:11:15Papricacan you explain to me what does the rb->yield() do?
21:11:52lostlogicPaprica: unlike windows or linux, rockbox is a cooperative multithreading application, so unless you give other threads a chance to run, they will literally never run
21:12:08lostlogicyield() and sleep() adn other kernel functions with timeouts give other threads a turn with the CPU
21:12:41Papricaok
21:13:28***Saving seen data "./dancer.seen"
21:13:50lostlogicsafetydan: NicoFR: the scrolling on iRiver being slower is not because playback now takes up more CPU, but rather because the scrolling doesn't give the codec thread a turn to run which would boost the CPU which would speed up both
21:14:10lostlogicsafetydan: NicoFR: the solution is therefore for the list view to yield sometimes even when it's scrolling to catch up with button activity
21:14:19lostlogicer shoot, not safetydan, saa[b_r]ider
21:14:30lostlogicstupid nick completion
21:15:28saa[b_r]iderno problem ;)
21:15:38NicoFRlostlogic: ok
21:16:17lostlogicnow I personally hav eno interest in messing with the file list view scrolling, but I'm sure someone out there does ;)
21:16:57NicoFReven adding one or two yields ?
21:17:37lostlogicNicoFR: whatever loop it executes to update the display and move the bar needs just one yield per pass... alternately, dropping frames when it's too slow and yielding instead might be a better solution
21:18:03NicoFRhmm so it's not really trivial
21:18:20amiconnOr make the gfx faster...
21:19:07amiconnbut one yield per pass should be done anyway
21:19:56NicoFRamiconn: that's simple to do, isn't it ?
21:20:23NicoFR(the one yield per pass thing)
21:20:39NicoFRjust a matter of adding one line in the loop, no ?
21:21:26lostlogicNicoFR: should be, I ahve no idea how the scrolling list works
21:22:06lostlogicit might also be reasonable for it to boost itself if it has a queue of events to process
21:22:12lostlogicwhich would make the overall UI experience better
21:22:33NicoFRindeed... that's a probelm users at MR mention all the time
21:22:40lostlogicyar

21:23:41NicoFRand what about not buffering key-presses when lag occurs ?
21:24:27lostlogicNicoFR: probably better to still buffer them but to have the actual thread that's processing them discard them if they won't be executed within Xms to prevent the scrolling after release problem
21:24:57NicoFRyes that would probably be even better
21:25:08NicoFRthat scroll after release thing is most annoying

22:51:52safetydanamiconn, yo sorry
22:51:55Paul_The_NerdAh well, gave him a suitably reassuring post.
22:53:14amiconnSomething is wrong with the chunked db browsing... it doesn't work anymore
22:53:56Sanhow do I use the bmp2rb again? bmp2rb image.bmp??
22:54:52amiconnThe scroll clamping seems to work on archos, although scrolling through lists feels a bit jumpy now
22:55:28amiconnMaybe this comes from the fact that if the queue isn't empty, the next event is postponed until after the next interval timeout
22:56:19amiconnIt could be refined to check more often for an empty queue once the interval timeout is over
22:56:24NicoFRmaybe this could be tweaked by checking the number of events in th queue
22:56:28safetydanInteresting that the build score actually went down after I broke a bunch of targets
22:57:26amiconnNicoFR: That would be another option, only post if zero or one event is in the queue
22:57:55NicoFRamiconn: how come it feels jumpy on archos ? less CPU power ?

22:58:18amiconnNo. Scrolling is actually faster on archos (less gfx data to move)
22:58:34Paul_The_Nerdlinuxstb: Apparently his GPIO_B stays at F9 without changing. =/
22:58:47amiconnIt seems that gfx can almost cope with the highest repeat rate, but not always
22:59:01NicoFRhmm
22:59:08amiconnSo occasionaly one repeat event is suppressed, which doubles that one interval
22:59:30NicoFRand would accelerating gfx on targets with big screens be hard ?
23:00
23:00:16amiconnIn fact I like the auto-adjusting repeat
23:00:26amiconnIt should just be more smooth
23:00:33Zagoryeah, we're going to need this type of "flow control" even with fast graphics
23:00:45peturbah... it seems there's no common recording indication for all targets :(
23:00:51NicoFRauto-adjusted as in the original way ?
23:00:57amiconnThe jpeg viewer does its own flow control, which could then be removed

23:37:37joesomebodyfreakin' corporate giants just won't realize that helping open source along would help them get even richer...
23:38:27CassandraThing is theres a chance someone could sue them if Rockbox bricked their player and they'd given any level of support to it.
23:38:46joesomebodylegal crap, in other words

23:39:08Mikachuin america, where you can do something stupid and someone has to pay you for it
23:39:18joesomebodyyep....
23:39:33ZagorI doubt that's the reason for secrecy. I rather think it's just "business as usual".
23:40:05CassandraZagor, yes, but I think that's probably a part of the "business as usual" thing.
23:40:10joesomebodyi wonder if we could get someone prominant like Kevin and Alex on diggnation to talk about it...someone want to do a writeup on their blog and put it up on digg?
23:40:18CassandraIt's all a bit comedy really.
23:40:21Zagorthis is the way the tech world has worked for 20-30 years. some still claim it's for "protecting trade secrets". i suspect most don't even know why they do it.
23:41:07joesomebodyif we could get Kevin Rose interested, the army of geeks for this would get MUCH bigger
23:41:17CassandraYeah, because serial comms is top secret dynamite. And Apple wouldn't get nice fat royalty payments if they opened the protocol.
23:41:23joesomebodythe more people that complain, the more of a chance we have
23:41:51Cassandrajoesomebody, to be honest, I don't think it's worth the effort.
23:41:59joesomebodyit eventually will be cracked...i just don't feel like waiting 15 or 20 years...
23:42:14Zagoris it encrypted?
23:42:31CassandraI suspect in a couple of years Rockbox will be so widely used on iPods that Apple will be grudgingly supporting us the way a lot of hardware manufacturers support Linux.
23:42:33joesomebodyi assume so
23:42:57CassandraThe iPod accessory protocol isn't, no.
23:43:07CassandraOr are you talking about something else?
23:43:17Mikachuwhy don't they just use the usb connection?
23:43:20Zagorthat's what I referred to
23:43:51CassandraMikachu, because the USB connection requires all sorts of USBish overhead.
23:44:03CassandraSerial comms is much less hassle.
23:44:09Mikachuthat's true
23:45:02CassandraI hope Apple will eventually realise that we are making them more money.
23:45:07linuxstbCassandra: You could be in for a hard task if you want to get Rockbox supporting accessories - we (i.e. IPL) don't know how to use the serial port.
23:45:27CassandraWhen corporations figure that out (and it takes a while) they usually get a whole lot more friendly.

23:50:37ZagorCassandra: how do you mean? surely the dock uses the same serial port as the accessories?
23:51:00amiconnZagor, NicoFR: In fact the stutter is most noticeable on devices with *fast* scrolling, which just isn't fast enough to eat *all* events in time
23:51:04CassandraZagor, 3g and 4g iPods have two serial connectors.
23:51:20CassandraOne on the top near to the headphones, one on the dock connector.
23:51:31Cassandra5g iPods only have one on the dock connector.
23:51:47amiconnOn H300 it's not noticeable because event-postponing will happen for practically all repeat events
23:51:54ZagorCassandra: the one on the top is for remote control, not accessories afaik
23:52:22CassandraZagor, nope. Things like the iTrip connect too.
23:52:42CassandraThe second link above is the protocol that runs over it, as far as I can tell.
23:52:42NicoFRamiconn: ok so i shouldn't expect any improvement on my h300 then ?
23:52:43Zagorright, but what does the itrip do on it?
23:52:50amiconnThe simple code would just drop events, leading to stutter
23:52:54Cassandralinuxstb would know more.
23:53:09CassandraZagor, basically takes power and line out.
23:53:12amiconnThe improved version delays all further repeat events until the pending one can be posted
23:53:31Zagorhere's links to both protocols: http://www.ipoditude.com/archives/2005/03/ipod_secrets_co.php
23:53:53CassandraZagor, cheers.

23:56:42CassandraThat info looks less comprehensive than the stuff on the ipl wiki though.
23:57:16Cassandra(although the ipl wiki doesn't document the 2g protocol afaik.)

23:58:38Cassandraamiconn: What's this patch designed to solve? I never had a problem with key repeats on Archos.
