00:23:52lostlogicRaeNye: there are dozens of patches on the tracker, is there a particular reason that yours takes first priority?
00:23:59RaeNyeit's a bugfix
00:24:16sharpeyay bugs
00:24:37lostlogicRaeNye: link?
00:24:50RaeNyethe unstoppable sleep timer one (#5001)
00:25:17|Unknown|so um anyone?

00:30:53|Unknown|hey is Rockbox suppose to when you go into it show you all your files?
00:31:38*preglow needs the norwegian equivalent of "tag" :/
00:31:43lostlogicRaeNye: I approve of your patches in a general sort of way. Is there any way to avoid rounding either direction unless the value is actually changed in the menu?
00:32:10preglow|Unknown|: hey, is you coherent sentence make
00:32:11lostlogicpreglow: keyword, metadata?
00:32:45preglowhmm, metadata might work
00:33:37RaeNyeI guess the only way would be to make the sleep timer value count seconds instead of minutes, updating step size to 300=5*60
00:34:09luckzWVU2034: I use a modified S3T_003
00:34:29luckzI added current time, genre, track number and info about the next track
00:34:35preglow"commiting tagcache" <- THE worst sentence to translate to norwegian
00:34:39RaeNyeeither that or a ugly patch in sleep_timer that saves the value beforehand and resets it on set_int returning false.
00:34:41luckznot used that extensively
00:34:41|Unknown|hey can you use IpodWizard without losing Linux?
00:35:17RaeNyeThe problem of this last patch is that you lose the time spent inside set_int's menu
00:36:44luckzdoes playcounting work? if so, how?
00:37:23lostlogicRaeNye: applied your patches as is, as they are better than the previous behavior for sure. Thanks.
00:37:54RaeNyeBTW, does anyone here uses a dark background? if so, do you have a problem with hard-to-see splash messages (e.g., "Shutting down...")?
00:38:11RaeNyelostlogic: no, thank YOU :)
00:38:12preglowlostlogic: remember CREDITS
00:38:17lostlogicpreglow: I did!!!
00:38:19preglowahh
00:38:23preglowi haven't gotten all mails yet
00:38:27lostlogic*bites your finger*
00:38:30luckzI mainly had a problem with not being able to read anything while in a car using a dark background, not fully solved that yet due to lack of time
00:38:34*preglow kicks ass
00:38:53lostlogicRaeNye: yeah, that's a problem, because the splashes and a few other places don't respect all color settings properly
00:38:58lostlogicfile a bug? :)
00:39:03RaeNyenow if only I could run the UI sim on linux instead of uploading it to the real thing every time.... <sob>
00:39:18lostlogicRaeNye: SDL doesn't work for you?
00:39:32lostlogicRaeNye: I never use the sim myself, but then I may be a bit masochistic
00:39:33RaeNyealsa conf.c segfaults
00:39:47lostlogicRaeNye: try using esd or oss sound?
00:40:10RaeNyeI ran the precompiled win32 sim, but my build environment is gentoo
00:40:35RaeNyehow? i have alsa oss emulation
00:40:46lostlogicRaeNye: not sure, I'm no SDL expert, it was just a thought.
00:40:55|Unknown|Do you run iBoy through Linux, or Rockbox? or Will it be located in IPL Bootloader?
00:40:59*preglow starts wondering if anyone will ever use this lang file, then reconsiders
00:41:24lostlogicpreglow: reconsiders as in stops working on it or stops wondering?
00:41:38lostlogicpreglow: I'm sure your sister will use it... if you give her your nano... if you have a sister...
00:42:05RaeNyeI want to check whether the problem persists with a uisim that was compiled somewhere else. Anyone has a linux build somewhere over the net?
00:42:30lostlogicRaeNye: why not compile the sim yourself?
00:42:43RaeNyedid so. segfaults
00:42:53lostlogicoohhhh
00:43:02lostlogicmisunderstood.
00:43:20RaeNye(I want to know whether to blame my runtime env)

00:44:37lostlogicand on that note, I bike home (just to make preglow jealous again)

01:06:25Zoide777I just created a thread in the forums for those of you who might be interested in getting recording to work on the iPod: http://forums.rockbox.org/index.php?topic=3368.0
01:06:42Zoide777It's just the start of a project, but I guess at least it's a start
01:06:46*preglow fetches his trusty bottle of gammel dansk to not feel completely left alone
01:06:54macncheesewere there tests yet with the h140 for playing video?
01:07:15Zoide777(though if someone realizes they can hack it up alone in a couple days, by all means go ahead :) )

01:08:06Zoide777(and hopefully more finger for typing code too!)
01:08:10Zoide777*fingers
01:12:37macncheeseone more small question, how reliable/precise is the battery time specified in rockbox on h140?
01:13:56preglownot at all
01:14:07preglowit's pure guesswork based on vague uncertanties
01:14:10macncheesethat's what i figured heh, it's saying i have 6 hours left
01:14:16macncheesewhere im more thinking i have about 1 hour left
01:14:21macncheesealthough i hope it's right :]
01:14:23preglowhaha
01:14:38preglowwhat time you have left is depending on so many factors it's not funny
01:14:47preglowwhat codec, how many disk access, if you browse around a lot
01:14:47preglowetc
01:15:08macncheeseyea, it's a bit off though
01:15:09macncheese(or i am)

01:18:30macncheesewell.. i've been following it from even before they started considering the iriver series, but only installed it on my iriver yesterday :)
01:18:32unknownkindHey why do I get these to errors while loading the modules for linux? Warning - Send text input selected. Make sure a keyboard is attached or select a different input method, Error Unable to connect to MPD
01:18:52Zoide777I think there is a mistake in the IpodHardwareInfo wiki (http://www.rockbox.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/IpodHardwareInfo)
01:19:05Zoide777it says that CPU boosting is working fully, but afaik it doesn't work on 4g
01:19:09Zoide777(grayscale at least)
01:19:10macncheeseit's a wiki, go edit it :]

01:55:32Zoide777(http://www.rockbox.org/dist/build-source/rockbox-bleeding.tar.bz2)
01:55:37amiconnIt seems there's a newly introduced file missing in the tarballs.
01:55:41XavierGrI am in the middle of abattery benchmark for the H300 and I can say that the results still seems disappointing. The test started at 15:40 (3:40 pm). It still plays but the battery meter reports another 2 hours of juice. That means that it will barely reach 13 hours of playback.
01:56:21XavierGr15:40 GMT -2
01:56:30Zoide777amiconn: what would that affect?
01:57:02amiconnXavierGr: H300 still has that mysterious power problem. Probably only solvable with measuring equipment and some digging in disassemblies of the stock firmware

01:58:31linuxstbYes, I get that sometimes with the CPU boosting.
01:58:37Zoide777amiconn: Prefetch abort at 60005FFE, and the display is shifted to the left by one letter. Also, there is a 3 on the right side of the screen
01:58:54amiconnNon-preset
01:58:54XavierGrah and I forgot to say that this is with a custom 1900mah battery
01:59:21amiconnNon-present tagnavi.congig means you can't use the tagcache
01:59:23preglowamiconn: how?
01:59:53amiconnpreglow: iPod 4g greyscale with boosting enabled
01:59:56preglowahh, 4g
01:59:58preglowi don't know
02:00
02:00:00amiconnsee a few lines above
02:00:02Zoide777amiconn: oh, and no wonder i didn't notice the tagcache not working... i only noticed the the tagnavi missing on sim builds where i didn't use tagcache
02:00:04preglowit sounds like the ram is misconfigured
02:00:20preglowthe prefetch abort is a tricky exception to understand
02:00:26preglowsince it depends so much on internals

02:00:51 Quit [TCK] ("well, if you say so.")

02:02:02preglowamiconn: it is
02:02:12linuxstbamiconn: I've just added tagnavi.config to FILES
02:02:18preglowamiconn: that's why you got the prefetch abort, the pp core tosses one if it's about to read from a port
02:02:22amiconnlinuxstb: thx
02:02:31preglowor any io reg of any kind
02:02:32sharpemmm, pizza.
02:02:46preglowZoide777: sure, but i don't think that's what we're seeing
02:02:50XavierGr128kbps mp3. Left in a drawer, I just checked once the battery level. So the backlight usage is pretty low. (2-3 times of 15 seconds each)
02:03:00preglowZoide777: i think perhaps some internal controller is panicing when the pll is reconfigured
02:03:19amiconnpreglow: I don't think that can be true. Sure you need to read from "I" IO registers...
02:03:21preglowit would be very nice if linuxstb could do some extensive tests with changing around udelay values... :)
02:03:25lostlogicXavierGr: damn.
02:03:28preglowamiconn: yeah, but not code
02:03:41linuxstbpreglow: I wouldn't say I've done extensive tests, but I tried a few different values.
02:03:47amiconnTrue.
02:03:57amiconnpreglow: So 'prefetch' implies code?
02:04:01preglowamiconn: yes
02:04:10lostlogic"execute my damn IO ports!"
02:04:11preglowamiconn: at least i'm fairly certain
02:04:12XavierGrI am in awe, with the same battery rockbox could output 25 hours on H100
02:04:31Zoide777do you need me to test changing something to see if it no longer gives the prefetch abort?
02:04:55amiconnlinuxstb, preglow: The cpu frequency is programmed once even when boosting is #ifdefed out, correct?
02:05:50lostlogicXavierGr: power drain bugs are great that way :(
02:06:18lostlogicXavierGr: ipod video gets ~6 hours on rockbox in my experience compared to nearly 20 on apple firmware :(
02:06:46preglowlinuxstb: yeah
02:06:49*amiconn can't compare to apple fw at all
02:06:51XavierGr20 on apple firmware?
02:06:55preglowehh
02:06:56preglowamiconn: yeah
02:07:07lostlogicXavierGr: I've not used the apple firmware, that's just what I've heard...
02:07:21amiconnlinuxstb: A suggestion for an interesting experiment:
02:07:24preglowamiconn: you can see the routine that's used for cpu freq programming when boosting is ifdeffed out in system.c
02:07:28XavierGrwell apple is known for the false battery readings
02:07:34preglowamiconn: seek for the cpu freq define
02:07:43XavierGrI can't really believe that it would achieve 20 hours
02:07:50amiconnInstead if setting the frequency just once, do the following:
02:07:50XavierGrmaybe 16
02:08:26amiconnipod_set_cpu_frequency(); sleep(1); ipod_set_cpu_frequency();
02:09:02amiconnI would expect it to panic too, at least sometimes
02:09:47Zoide777is there a way of shutting down the ipod while it is plugged into the wall without having it reset right back on?
02:09:52preglowi also got some weird errors sometimes when i just started coding cpu freq chaning
02:10:04preglowbut i can't duplicate them now :/
02:10:19preglowbut i do _nothing_ out of the ordinary even now when it works, so godknows
02:11:00linuxstbZoide777: No - it seems to need to be on to charge. At least, that's how the apple firmware works, so Rockbox does the same.
02:13:06linuxstbamiconn: Trying your suggestion causes an immediate *PANIC* Stkov...
02:13:14amiconnhuh?
02:13:24Zoide777linuxstb: actually, you're right. i had forgotten that even with the apple os, if you try to turn it off while plugged in it goes into the "Charging" screen with the big battery icon
02:13:27amiconnYou got *Stkov* from that??
02:13:44linuxstbamiconn: I'm guessing it's too early to call sleep()
02:13:55amiconnHmm, maybe
02:14:02amiconnTry a simple delay loop instead
02:14:16amiconn..or just leave the sleep() out
02:14:17preglowtoo early?
02:14:18linuxstbDoing that now. We have a udelay() function on the ipods.
02:14:47amiconnYeah, and ugly inl() and outl() thingies...
02:15:03preglowamiconn: i'm going to weed out those i can (which aren't many) :/
02:15:10linuxstbChanging the sleep to udelay and it seems to work fine.
02:15:19preglowalso, i'm not convinced all the new GPIO defines we have got are truly gpio
02:15:31preglowlinuxstb: hmm
02:15:46preglowit almost seems like we're switching back to pll too soon
02:15:49preglowbut you've tested that
02:16:52linuxstbI'll try again now. What would suggest for the frequency change udelay? 4000?
02:17:08kkurbjunlinuxstb, were you having trouble with doom in the latest cvs build?
02:17:15linuxstbOnly on the 5g.
02:17:27kkurbjunwhat problems were you having?
02:17:37preglowlinuxstb: something outrageously high
02:17:40linuxstbThe top 80% of the screen has brown lines all over it.
02:18:05midkaylinuxstb, i had that too..
02:18:06linuxstbpreglow: OK, trying 100000
02:18:13midkaylinuxstb, it's not quite new.
02:18:20amiconnpreglow: It could also be that we're chaging frequency too soon, or we don't disable the pll before switching
02:18:25midkayi had it for the first time almost 24 hours ago..
02:18:26preglowamiconn: we do
02:18:36preglowamiconn: afaik, at least, it's not easy to say with ipl source code
02:18:43kkurbjunlinuxstb, could you try erasing your default.dfg and see if that has any effect?
02:18:48amiconnOn coldfire, the cpu must not be clocked from the pll during a frequency change
02:18:52preglowamiconn: the comments you see in system.c is basically just me guessing from prior knowledge about how pll systems work
02:19:18kkurbjunI don't see why the 5g would be having trouble, it works fine in the sim
02:19:21preglowamiconn: but afaik, we switch to xtal before reclocking
02:19:41amiconnThe sequence is switch cpu to input clock - change frequency - wait for relock - switch back to pll output clock
02:21:09preglowyes, that's just what i think we do
02:21:19preglowwe just udelay for a specific time, though
02:21:23preglowand hope relock is done by then
02:21:43*linuxstb needs to find some files which are not FLAC...
02:21:58Zoide777linuxstb: i have maaany wavpacks...
02:22:04preglowlostlogic: well said

02:24:20preglowgod, please
02:24:21preglowlet it be
02:24:50Zoide777would this fix the prefetch abort errors?
02:25:18scottderconver them to ogg
02:25:29scottderoggenc can usually take flac files directly too :)
02:25:39preglowi sure as hell hope this works
02:25:47preglowi can think of no other explanation as to why it doesn't
02:26:04sharpewell, it should take... not much effort to implement the joystick in the emulator..
02:27:14sharpeit seems like all it is, is changing bits on a byte in memory... depending on which directon, or if the button is pressed.

02:34:54preglowlinuxstb: no further news?
02:36:46linuxstbYes, it seems to be boosting nicely.
02:37:00linuxstbBut is there a bug in Rockbox at the moment that leaves the CPU boosted?
02:37:10linuxstbI have to go into the debug screen and reset the boost count.
02:37:26linuxstbAh, spoke to soon. It's just froze...
02:38:50preglowhmm
02:38:55preglowghah
02:38:58preglowhow freeze?
02:39:41linuxstbIt just froze on the WPS, with the backlight still on.
02:40:52amiconnThere's a bug in rockbox that *sometimes* leaves the cpu boosted at boot
02:41:06amiconnI bet it's the tagcache code
02:41:19linuxstbAnd it's just frozen again...
02:41:48linuxstbBut before the freeze, it was happilly playing wavpack and boosting at around 40%, with lots of frequency changes.
02:41:59amiconnMaybe we should disable interrupts during a freq change?
02:42:35preglowhmm
02:42:38preglowamiconn: ahhh
02:42:39preglowamiconn: good idea
02:42:48linuxstbBut the FIQ is still going...
02:42:53preglowlinuxstb: disable that too!!!
02:42:54preglow:-)
02:43:02preglowbut no, there's no reason we should

02:52:48Zoide777lostlogic: commit! commit! :D
02:53:00XavierGrstrangely enough my original remote (as I said earlier) doesn't tick on my H300 (while it ticks on the H100) or it ticks so low that I can't hear it.
02:53:09preglowmy h100 remote doesn't tick the least bit
02:53:36lostlogicZoide777: you are asking for a world of pain for you and everyone else running rockbox on swcodec
02:53:54amiconnIt's a faint ticking here, and it's independent of the volume setting
02:54:12XavierGramiconn try this:
02:54:53XavierGrgo to filetree and move the navi button to the right/lef and hold it.
02:55:23XavierGrit should scroll files until it will reach the end of the list and the ticking will continue to be heard. (as long as you push the button)
02:55:31amiconnWell, it's the remote lcd update
02:55:41XavierGryes
02:56:11amiconnIf you put the cursor on a long line in the file browser so that it starts scrolling, and you've set a not too low scroll speed, it will make a hiss

02:57:43amiconnNot for H300

03:27:43amiconnXavierGr: 'reduce ticking' does what it says, it reduces the ticking
03:27:52amiconnIt's still there, but really faint
03:28:12sharpeanyone else think something may be wrong if the cpu emulator jumps to 0xE2FC instead of FCE2? :D
03:28:12amiconnStock firmware does also tick
03:28:46XavierGrstrange: you just added the define in h300-config?
03:29:05XavierGryes stock firmware ticks too, it isn;t a rockbox issue.
03:29:53lostlogicI might hafta start hurting myself soon, the buffering logic is beginning to make sense :-\
03:30:03preglowamiconn: does it seem slower in any way?
03:30:10preglowamiconn: rockbox remote navigation, that is
03:30:17amiconnno
03:30:28preglowahh, i remember people complaining about that
03:30:29amiconnThe ticking fix causes an overall slowdown
03:31:04XavierGramiconn: if the only thing you did was add the define then I did something seriously wrong when my cousin asked my a modded build with it enabled
03:31:27amiconnE.g. when you scroll a long list, more cpu cycles are used to redraw the remote lcd
03:31:36preglowahh, yeah, but do you notice it?
03:31:43amiconnThis makes it more likely for playback to skip....
03:31:57amiconnpreglow: Not during navigation, no
03:32:23amiconnXavierGr: You need to reset settings. The settings block changes with the ticking fix enabled
03:32:28XavierGraha
03:32:51XavierGrany ideas on this to make it better? What about those other alternatives you were saying?
03:33:03amiconnpreglow: I want to get the ticking fix to work better, while drawing less cpu power
03:33:29amiconnWill still be more than with the fix disabled though
03:34:20amiconnMy extra button filtering for H300 seems to work well

04:12:07sharpeahh!! swapping bytes in a word...
04:12:13Galoiseven at q3, there should be some slight improvement

04:14:38sharpepreglow, what would those macros be?

05:13:41midkayso you want to create a playlist of tracks you select or what?
05:13:45FalloutManyeah
05:14:50midkaylocate the first song you want, hold SELECT on it and choose "playlist" -> "insert". it will begin playing. press select while it's playing to get back to the browser, keep locating the songs you want, holding select and "insert"ing until it's got the tracks you want... then go to menu - playlist options - save playlist (gotta double check that last bit)
05:15:03midkayyou can reorder tracks from the playlist viewer also..
05:15:30FalloutManthanks a bunch
05:15:36midkay"save current playlist", yeah.

05:42:57nave7693midkay: there's support for other players now, when rockbox becomes not specific to archos it adds overhead
05:43:53midkaynave7693, stuff that doesn't apply to the archos is, for the most part, not compiled for the archos.
05:43:58midkaymost of it the archos can't even handle.
05:44:18nave7693as long as there's shared code... I guess
05:44:26midkaythat's not really how it works.
05:44:46nave7693some things can be done differetly that get generalized
05:44:56midkayi'm not sure if you're familiar with rockbox's code, but the compiler simply doesn't compile stuff that doesn't pertain, as long as it's told not to, and it most often is.
05:45:14midkaymost often is told not to, that is..

06:03:49midkayalright.
06:05:13lostlogicwell I'm going to do my famous late evening playback breakage and go-to-sleep commit act.
06:06:40nave7693man this is annoying.
06:07:08nave7693some of the tools are meant to be built with the host's gcc and others built by sh-elf-gcc
06:07:24nave7693otherwise they can't be executed by the host
06:07:33lostlogicnave7693: and the build system should detect and use the right ones, if you have sh-elf-gcc and host-gcc in your path
06:07:51nave7693lostlogic: uclpack is not using the right one
06:08:03lostlogicswcodec people, please test, and email, /msg, or flyspray me the new bugs.
06:08:12lostlogicnave7693: have you re-run configure recently?
06:08:28nave7693lostlogic: I rerun it on every cvs update

06:08:57lostlogicnave7693: that is quite odd... what host and target are you building?
06:09:46nave7693host is x86 windows/cygwin, target is sh-elf
06:09:56lostlogicI mean what player specifically
06:10:04nave7693archos recorder 2MB
06:10:46nave7693the problem apparently is not in rockbox itself but the uclpack tool
06:10:57lostlogiccan you paste the results of gcc -dumpversion and sh-elf-gcc -dumpversion here?
06:11:13nave7693it is getting linked by the host's gcc which does not know about the results by sh-elf-ranlib.
06:11:17nave7693sure just a sec
06:11:59lostlogicalso ranlib -v and sh-elf-ranlib -v (jus tthe first line)
06:12:22nave76933.4.4 for host and 3.3.6 for sh-elf-gcc
06:12:39nave7693GNU ranlib 2.16.91 20050610
06:12:51nave7693GNU ranlib 2.16.1
06:12:57nave7693first one is host
06:13:16lostlogicdamn, I was hoping to see an old ranlib on one of those to point a finger at :(
06:13:23nave7693heh
06:13:31nave7693you don't find that with redhat's stuff :P
06:13:56lostlogicon my build server (which is one of the CVS Build machines) I have 3.4.5, 3.4.5 and 2.16.1, 2.16.1, but I can't imagine that'd matter.
06:15:26lostlogicw00t! look at that green build table, I was thinking I might be the one to break that streak with this latest commit ;-P
06:16:04nave7693does the build server do a complete build every time?
06:16:29lostlogicyeah, and I just ran clean builds of 3 targets separately from the build system, no problems.
06:16:39lostlogicbut these are all linux machines, not cygwin\
06:17:07nave7693can you see what gcc is getting called to link uclpack?

08:19:59amiconnnp
08:22:03Bg3ri thought that i could fix the .langs today ...
08:22:34amiconnI just happen to know the .lang system rather well, because I already dealt with it a lot
08:23:01Bg3rhm, i think that this should be noted somewhere too (the changes to the <source>...)
08:23:01amiconnSo I usually know what implications a non-standard change might have
08:23:25Bg3ri'll add it to the wiki
08:24:12amiconnWell, usually, when you add or deprecate string (as a coder), you only ever change english.lang, and leave all others alone
08:24:50Bg3ryep
08:24:58amiconnChanging an ID is quite exceptional (although it doesn't break backwards compatibility)
08:25:23amiconnYou could just have changed the meaning, and let the ID alone

08:30:52Bg3ramiconn yep, but imho it's not correct
08:31:49amiconnWell, even after my .lang rework, there are still some IDs where the usage doesn't match the ID name fully. The IDs are only used internally, the user will never see them
08:33:54amiconnSome typos stayed for years, just to avoid touching all .lang files for no user-visible effect (one ID used LENGHT instead of LENGTH)
08:34:39amiconnI corrected it now because I had to touch everything anyway
08:36:49Bg3raha
08:42:57Bg3rLANG_SETTINGS_BATTERY_PLAYER ... LANG_SETTINGS_BATTERY_RECORDER
08:43:35Bg3rwhat about removing them and just specifying the model ?
08:43:43Bg3rremoving one of them
08:44:10amiconnYes
08:44:30Bg3rand how should i do this ?
08:44:38Bg3ri don't want to make a new mistake ...
08:44:40amiconnThat's something I already saw during rework and knew it will be solvable with langv2
08:46:04amiconnWell, in this case the correct translation for both player and the rest are known, so this can be applied to all .lang files even if you don't know the language
08:46:28amiconnBtw, this pair is related to a second one
08:47:04Bg3rto _SAVE_PLAYER
08:47:05Bg3r?
08:47:09Bg3rand _SAVE_RECORDER

09:17:27Bg3rB4gder, amiconn: is this all i should do for the first real usage of langv2 features: http://pastebin.com/643605
09:18:20Bg3rthe stupid pastebin.com doesn't have syntax highlight for diffs
09:18:22Paul_The_NerdColdtoast: the playback system's undergoing alot of changes. It could be that most recent commit, or it could be something that was agitated and has been around for a while. But I'm sure it'll get worked out soon enough. :)
09:18:54B4gderBg3r: looks fine to me
09:19:17Bg3rB4gder what about the lang version ?
09:20:18B4gderI'm not sure
09:20:25B4gderstrictly speaking, yo'd have to bump it
09:20:41B4gderbut I think we could also just leave it for our cleanup work
09:20:52B4gderand bump it once
09:21:03Bg3ryep
09:21:17B4gderwith langv2, the lang version is becoming a lot more complicated
09:21:28Bg3rbecause ?
09:21:40B4gderbecause it is much easier to break an old language
09:21:57B4gdereven for a specific target only
09:22:16B4gderlike you can set "player: none" on lots of strings
09:22:27B4gderthat the players don't use/have
09:23:10B4gderand if you do that for example on a target that doesn't have feature X
09:23:17Bg3rshould i also remove the old LANG_...[PLAYER|RECORDER] from the translated .lang-s
09:23:24B4gderand then one day you add feature X and remove the "none", it breaks
09:23:42B4gderBg3r: no need, the -u option will do that for translators
09:23:47Bg3rah :)
09:23:55Bg3rthis is good :)
09:24:12amiconnBg3r: During the rework, I would just deprecate old strings which are now combined under 1 ID, to avoid both bumpding the version every time during the rework, and at the same time avoid incompatibility
09:24:47amiconnThen we'll do a final round, removing all deprecations and bumping version once
09:25:13amiconnThe settings save failure messages should even be combined into one.
09:25:31amiconnNo need to start with the dreaded ...1 ...2 etc business again
09:25:41Bg3ramiconn and how to do this ?
09:25:42amiconnWe *do* have splash, for quite a while
09:25:49Bg3rah, yes
09:26:03Bg3rso, just use the splash ?
09:26:06B4gderright, it even works on the player! ;-)
09:26:14Bg3rk
09:26:22amiconnB4gder: Why the ;-) ?
09:26:35Bg3rhow do i deprecate a string ?
09:26:56*B4gder cuts off the ":-)"
09:28:14amiconnIt definitely does work on the player, although it needs a bit of fixing
09:28:37amiconnBg3r: Using splash() also avoids having to handle the remote separately
09:29:20LinusNare splashes spoken?
09:30:17Bg3rLinusN no, but these strings are with empty voice: strings
09:30:39Bg3ramiconn yep
09:31:36B4gderbut I guess making the splashes speak shouldn't be that hard

09:54:10Zoide777is anyone here familiar with the wm*.c files?
09:54:20Zoide777I am trying to understand the conversion between the ipodlinux and rockbox code
09:54:57Zoide777For example ipodlinux has a line "ipod_i2c_send(0x1a, 0x45, 0x50);", while Rockbox uses "wm8975_write(LOUTMIX1, 0x150);"
09:55:49Zoide777or ipodlinux has "ipod_i2c_send(0x1a, 0x1f, 0xff);" while Rockbox has "wm8975_write(RESET, 0x1ff);"
09:56:17Zoide777i'm not sure what's going on with the hex numbers
09:57:15Bg3rZoide777 the wm8*** chips are documented... see the DataSheets page in the wiki
09:57:48_FireFly_Zoide777: i think the defines LOUTMIX1 equels to 0x1a,0x45 and Reset to 0x1a,0x1f
10:00
10:01:23Zoide777Bg3r: thanks, i'll see what i can find there
10:01:24Zoide777_FireFly_: but then it doesn't make sense that "ipod_i2c_send(0x1a, 0x45, 0x50);" becomes "wm8975_write(LOUTMIX1, 0x150);" ... shouldn't it be "wm8975_write(LOUTMIX1, 0x50);" instead?

10:18:42linuxstb_Zoide777: The i2c writes to the WM codecs consist of a 16-bit value. The top 7 bits are the register address, and the bottom 9 bits are the data value to write to that register. The IPL code in your example writes the 16-bit value 0x4550 to the wm8975. This equates to register 0x22 and value 0x150 - which is what Rockbox does.
10:18:52 Nick linuxstb_ is now known as linuxstb (n=linuxstb@i-83-67-212-170.freedom2surf.net)
10:22:25*petur had no idea at all
10:22:46Zoide777linuxstb: wow, i would have never figured that out hehe
10:22:50Zoide777thanks
10:23:17linuxstbIt's explained in the datasheet for the codec - but it wasn't immediately obvious to me either.
10:24:24Zoide777oh! the "Register Map" on p. 50
10:24:43linuxstbThat will help...
10:27:08linuxstbBut the hard part for recording isn't the initialisation of the codec, you will need to use the FIQ (fast interrupt) to read the incoming data from the codec, and incorporate it into Rockbox's general recording code.
10:27:30crashdis this for recording on 3g?
10:29:22linuxstbNot specifically - it's for all ipods.
10:31:08linuxstblostlogic: The 5g still detects the wall charger as a USB connection. You're the second person to try and close that bug report....
10:31:50peturmost of the recording code is usable, just the dma handler needs to be replaced with that FIQ thing [I think]
10:32:29linuxstbYes, it will be a similar job to the playback code.
10:32:32peturand add init code and gain setting of course
10:32:56Zoide777linuxstb: when you mention 16-bit writes, which of the 3 arguments in ipod_i2c_send corresponds to what?
10:33:34linuxstbThe first value is the i2c address of the wm codec (0x1a), and the second and third values are the high and low bytes of the 16-bit value.
10:34:28Zoide777ah, ok thanks

11:37:42Paul_The_Nerd Yeah, as it is just only ever replacing the rockbox.whatever as an update method is asking to encounter troubles in the end.
11:38:03B4gderthe breakage of bad updates is not due to lang files
11:38:08Paul_The_NerdAren't the installation instructions "extract the .zip on your player"?
11:38:10amiconnWe have a number of measures to avoid severe messup in case of errors like this. The plugin api versioning comes to mind...
11:38:19amiconnWhy not use a similar policy here?
11:38:30B4gderI'm not against that
11:38:36B4gderI'm just against your way of solving that
11:38:58B4gderI'd rather have a more strict policy
11:39:05Paul_The_NerdIt seems the plugin API's method would work pretty well.
11:39:28B4gderits just that the language files are more complex than the plugin API
11:39:36B4gderor they could be at least
11:40:12amiconnWell, languages work different. For plugin api, we need to enforce a minimum version, because otherwise a plugin might call a function not yet present, and crash

11:43:42B4gderand the .lang file says so, because if we _ever_ add the string we don't want to break backwards compatiblity

11:43:54B4gderXavierGr: ps
11:44:13Paul_The_NerdI don't understand why breaking backwards compatibility is so horrible?
11:44:28B4gderthat's my position too
11:44:42Paul_The_NerdI mean yes, people will have to make a choice between using a new build in english, or the one they've already got in their native tongue.
11:45:19Bg3rthe best would be to not allow loading of older lang file ...
11:45:25Paul_The_NerdIt also provides more incentive for people to update translations, if a bit draconian in its methodology.
11:45:37Mikachuis the lang file built by regular configure+make?
11:45:46Bg3rMikachu .lng is
11:45:49B4gderMikachu: make zip builds them
11:45:54Bg3rah
11:45:55Mikachuoh.. silly :)
11:47:31linuxstbXavierGr: There is also the "top" command - which is an interactive version of ps. Press "q" to quit it.
11:48:19XavierGrnice thanks
11:49:03XavierGralso the kill command works for me only with the -9 option
11:49:23B4gderXavierGr: it depends on the program you try to kill
11:49:46B4gdermost signals can be caught and dealt with by the app itself
11:50:00Mikachuwhy is the swedish lang file called svenska, but the japanese is japanese?
11:50:13B4gderMikachu: to confuse readers
11:50:25LinusNwouldn't the voice files suffer from incompatible lang changes?
11:50:36MikachuB4gder: ah, okay
11:50:52B4gderMikachu: I guess its just because different people adding them
11:50:57amiconnLinusN: yes, exactly
11:51:09B4gderdon't the voice files use the id ?
11:51:23amiconnThey use the numeric id the same way as .lng
11:51:24B4gderor do the use the same ordered thing as strings?
11:51:29B4gderok
11:52:05amiconnSo, if the numeric IDs shift because of left-out strings introduced later, voice clips will also be messed up
11:52:14LinusNi think keeping the voice file compatible is a good thing
11:52:22 Quit bluebrother^ ("leaving")
11:52:23amiconn...and unlike .lng, we don't include .voice in the .zip
11:53:24Mikachuis english included in the binary? i haven't updated the lng file since i first installed but new strings appear anyway
11:53:32amiconnMikachu: I think the rule is to write the language name in the target language, unless it's impossible with latin1
11:53:44B4gderMikachu: english is always built-in
11:53:53Mikachuokay*2
11:54:32Mikachuwhat is wallisertitsch?
11:54:56XavierGrMikachu maybe we will have to rename the lang file to 'nihongo'
11:55:05XavierGr:P
11:56:09amiconnI'm not sure whether zip can handle unicode
11:56:23Mikachuthere is probably someone that has a zip implementation that doesn't
11:56:38Mikachuas long as it doesn't strip arbitrary 8bit bytes from filenames it should be fine
11:56:55B4gderI'd hate 8bit letters in file names in our tree
11:57:13amiconn?
11:57:16Mikachumine works fine
11:57:25Mikachu% unzip a.zip
11:57:25MikachuArchive: a.zip
11:57:25Mikachu extracting: にほんご
11:57:46B4gderbecause it would force me to make sure all my systems use utf8 or what not
11:57:57B4gderand they don't now
11:58:03amiconnThey would need to be true unicode filenames, not just utf-8 without zip or other tools not knowing about it
11:58:16amiconnMight also be a problem with cvs...
11:58:24Mikachuwhat do you mean by"true unicode"?
11:59:03 Nick DrMoos is now known as Moos (i=DrMoos@m12.net81-66-158.noos.fr)
11:59:14Mikachua filename by itself doesn't have an encoding
11:59:48Mikachuit's just a couple of bytes \ {'/'}
11:59:52amiconnI mean that the tools need to know about it, and the filenames need to be in the native unicode encoding *on the file system*
12:00
12:01:14Mikachuin general, filesystems don't have encodings
12:01:31 Quit Coldtoast ()
12:01:32Mikachuthey only store said bytes in a filename field...
12:01:40amiconnThat's not always true
12:02:01amiconnAs mentioned yesterday, VFAT filenames are *always* UCS-2 encoded
12:02:23amiconnThe OS translates that to/from whatever the current locale uses
12:02:29crashdmorning
12:02:52Mikachuthat's up to the filesystem driver though, not zip
12:03:02crashdjust wanted to headsup, as we cant submit bugs for 'new targets', searching on ipod is the fucked, you can search once, but once you let go and try and skip through again rockbox hangs
12:03:19crashdat least on the 5g
12:03:29Mikachuof course you can put ipod bugs in the tracker...
12:03:34Mikachuthat's what the target field is for
12:03:38Paul_The_NerdYou mean "next track" or the actual search function?
12:03:42crashdMikachu: i understand that.
12:03:46crashdbut Please do not submit bug reports for very early Rockbox target ports!
12:03:52crashdand it is still an early target, non?
12:03:55Paul_The_NerdMikachu: Until the new tracker, you weren't supposed to put bugs up for targets other than those that had an official release.
12:03:57crashdPaul_The_Nerd: searching through a track
12:04:00crashdas in, ff and rw
12:04:05Paul_The_Nerdcrashd: That's "seeking" then. :)
12:04:16Mikachuin this case, it's not related to ipods, but lostlogic's swcodec hackings
12:04:17crashdahh, sorry, i do agree that seeking is a better word ;)
12:04:29Paul_The_NerdYeah, that's an all-SWCODEC bug at the moment
12:04:31Mikachuhe knows it doesn't work well yet, i think
12:04:37crashdah, ok, fair enough
12:04:46Paul_The_NerdBut yeah, it's okay to post ipod-related bugs now I think
12:05:02Mikachuif a devel doesn't want to watch it, he can exclude ipod targets from the search
12:05:06Mikachuor she!
12:05:36B4gderhehe
12:05:45Mikachuor would be able if flyspray had a sensible search function
12:06:03Paul_The_NerdYeah, it should probably be changed to something as simple as "Don't report bugs until Audio works on your target" rather than as it is now.
12:07:05B4gderpossibly
12:07:08linuxstbOr just until daily builds are available.
12:07:23B4gderthe thing is that people start to file bugs like crazy on things we just haven't done yet

12:08:00Paul_The_NerdThat is true.
12:08:04B4gderbut its hard to explain that in a few words
12:08:10linuxstbBut even bug reports like that still have some use IMO - so things are documented somewhere.
12:08:27B4gderhm, yeah you might be right
12:08:53Paul_The_Nerd"Please, don't file bug reports until Audio is functional, search carefully for your bug before filing a report, and try to make sure in advance it's not a case of 'the feature isn't done yet'"

12:35:54Paul_The_NerdWait, so it works AND it doesn't break things?
12:36:10Mikachuyes, but it should break repeat

12:41:22Paul_The_NerdWell that is unfortunate.

12:44:56Paul_The_NerdAt the moment. It's rather astonishing.
12:45:16Mikachuhm, apparently button_tick needs to run twice to register a button, /me adds a tick++;

13:19:58amiconnMikachu: Hmm, I don't get it? button_tick is there to determine which buttons are pressed. How can you know no button is pressed before processing this very information?
13:20:04amiconnWhat target, btw?
13:20:15Mikachuamiconn: on ipods, so i know in the interrupt context
13:20:39amiconnWell, for the 4g iPods, button_tick() is almost empty anyway
13:21:07Mikachuone if is less than 5 :)
13:21:51amiconn5??
13:22:09amiconnThere's just 2 for iPod 4g and up
13:22:16amiconnIt all boils down to
13:22:19Mikachuhm
13:22:47amiconnbtn = int_btn; then check for flip and apply, then apply debounce
13:23:33amiconnline 1211 and lines 1293..1306
13:23:36Mikachui guess so
13:24:45amiconnThe debounce check *might* be unnecessary for iPod, depends on whether there is hardware button debounce

13:52:29lostlogicoh, if anything I did broke it, then it's done wrong

All the controls froze completely and would not respond in any manner. The title of the file still kept on moving though. The lock
14:18:34Kanashimihappened after I stopped fastforwarding and the player should have started playing the file again.
14:19:13Paul_The_Nerdlostlogic: See, all night. :)
14:19:14KanashimiI had to do a hard reset from the hardware button to free up the player again.

Hopefully it should be fixed soon, and we look forward to hearing back from you if there are further problems once it is. :)

14:23:50LinusNBg3r: it hasn't been announced yet
14:23:56Paul_The_Nerdep0ch: Well, okay, it may fix the hard freeze, but it replaces it with a soft freeze.
14:24:14Paul_The_Nerdpetur: Archival copies so that when something breaks people can get one from 24 hours ago.
14:24:24peturright
14:24:40KanashimiPaul_The_Nerd: Ah, alright then, and sure. Thanks for the info, I'll let you know if I have any problems with the new version when it comes out :) Oh btw.. another question, what's with the volume level being reported in negatives in that build, too ? :)
14:25:00peturhey long time no see :P
14:25:11peturthey're in dB now
14:25:19petur0 is max
14:25:19Paul_The_NerdKanashimi: Volume levels have been in negatives for a long time. It's a measurement of attenuation vs the base level of the file, as that's more useful functionally for people who need it.
14:25:40B4gderwe're just a negative bunch!
14:25:46B4gder:-P
14:25:50KanashimiHeh, alright :)
14:26:31Paul_The_NerdKanashimi: The main advantage of that is that if you use Rockbox on an older device, then move to an iPod, if you were listening at -32 before, you'll be listening at it now too.
14:26:49Paul_The_NerdKanashimi: As well, you also know that 0 is line out level (since some devices go into the positives, though this may result in clipping)
14:27:00KanashimiAnyways, a thanks for you all for working on creating rockbox and porting it over to the iriver's too. I've been using the firmware for a while now, and in specific enjoyed some of the functions like bookmarks and so that the original firmware doesn't provide.
14:27:20*petur goes back to MFC coding :(
14:27:37LinusNspeaking of bookmarks, it looks like rename() doesn't work when dircache is enabled

14:28:09Paul_The_NerdKanashimi: Much moreso than just a percentage, yes. 100% would then mean different things on a target that can go from -83 to 0 than one that goes from -78 to +6

14:29:19KanashimiPaul_The_Nerd: Hmm, indeed, I see what you mean. Well thanks for clearing it up for me *small smile and a nod*. I'll just use the old version of rockbox I have for the moment and check up on a update in a few days or so.
14:29:27preglowZoide777: going to ruin my lovely asm optimised fiq handler, are you? :/
14:29:31Paul_The_NerdHm. With WMA on the horizon, and MP3 recording an assumed likelihood, is there anything else from the H1x0 stock firmware Rockbox lacks?
14:29:45Paul_The_NerdKanashimi: I would actually suggest waiting until May 1st. :)

14:32:18Paul_The_NerdKanashimi: Well, Tagcache will hopefully be fully functional (or at least usably consistent). That's a database so you can find tracks by Artist, Album, or Genre. As well, there's a new language system, so it might actually say "Navi = Yes" in those Yes/No screens. :) Plus of course, bugfixes and optimizations, and Doom.
14:32:22Zoide777the problem is that pcm_record.c is structured very differently, and it relies on variables like DCR1, BCR1, etc. that are not used by pp5020 from what i've been told
14:32:44preglowZoide777: you probably can't use dma for ipod recording naywya

14:50:11webmindseems so

14:51:09amiconnIf I am playing music on my H300 and hit Stop, music stops immediately for ~0.1 sec, then continues for ~0.5 sec, then stops
14:51:11Paul_The_NerdIt's coming eventually. :)
14:51:27Zoide777i see, so the ipod code in ipodlinux doesn't use real dma, but the non-ipod code in rockbox does use dma

14:52:02amiconnThis is with voice enabled, and *sometimes* (if voice decides that it will be working), I can hear a short snippet of my music again when the first voice clip is played
14:53:41Zoide777one thing i don't understand is the way the 3 letter variables appear to behave like functions. for example, the DMA transfer is started by the strange line "DCR1 = DMA_INT | DMA_EEXT | DMA_CS | DMA_DINC | DMA_START;" and is stopped by "DCR1=0"
14:53:43lostlogicamiconn: I continue to hate voice.

14:54:47amiconnOn sh1 (archos) it's not possible due to the endian swap. On iriver it might be possible, but we only have 2 dma channels, which are currently reserved exclusively for playback + recording
14:54:59lostlogicZoide777: they are control registers.
14:54:59peturZoide777: its a bunch of bits that get set in a register to start/stop DMA

14:56:52amiconnDisk IO is always blocking, even with dma.

14:57:20Zoide777I'd just like to port recording to rockbox, no matter the mechanism :O
14:57:34Zoide777tooooo much lost sleep already hehe
14:57:43lostlogicamiconn: right...
14:58:06linuxstb_Zoide777: IMO, the best place to start will be to try and understand the playback code - comparing what's in Rockbox with what's in IPL. The same principle applies to recording, just that the transfer of data is in the opposite direction.
14:59:04JdGordonhaha.. uni is gonna kill me :) ive been hogging one of the main remote-access unix boxes for nearly the last 4 hours (my program has been @ 99.9%cpu usage since it started :) )
14:59:19Zoide777i noticed that the ipodlinux pseudo-dma implementation uses constants such as "DMA_READ_OFF" that are set to "/* special locations in fast ram */"
14:59:37 Quit JBGood (Read error: 110 (Connection timed out))
14:59:38JdGordonchange that to nearly 5 hours :)
14:59:55Zoide777for example 0x40000004, 0x40000008, 0x4000000c, 0x40000010. are those in use in rockbox?
15:00
15:00:01linuxstb_No.
15:01:07linuxstb_For playback, IPL uses an 80KB ringbuffer in playback. Podzilla or MPD will put audio in this buffer, and the "fake DMA" function runs on the second processor (the COP) and is constantly trying to empty that ringbuffer. Communication via the main CPU and the COP is via those variables in IRAM.
15:01:20linuxstb_In Rockbox, we do everything on the main CPU.
15:01:45linuxstb_(replace "in playback" in the first sentence with "in IRAM")
15:03:27linuxstb_Zoide777: Have you tried using the recording feature in ipodlinux?

15:06:15amiconnlinuxstb: Do you know why ipl doesn't use dma?
15:06:20Zoide777so, would it work if I just made those constants in rockbox and pretty much pasted over code from "i2s_pp5020_rec_dma" in audio.c (http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/ipodlinux/linux/arch/armnommu/mach-ipod/audio.c?view=markup)?

15:58:37preglowi don't know how big the overlay can be, though
15:58:44linuxstb_I think you'll need to allocate the memory dynamically, rather than having a static buffer.
15:59:08marevalowell, the point is that dinamically or statically I will be using this memory

16:02:55marevalonop
16:03:18Bg3rmarevalo on the archos targets the plugin size is max 32kb
16:03:21marevaloI think the problem is the overlay, I remeber something about smaller limits on the archoses
16:03:21Paul_The_NerdAnd the iFP-790 will only have 1mb, if it ever resumes progress.

16:05:38linuxstb_My undertanding is that the overlay is a small plugin which loads the main plugin directly into the audio buffer. So the limit should be around 1.5MB. Your changes shouldn't be changing the overlay plugin.

16:18:57aXpi now installed rockbox on my ipod nano but i cant use the itrip for the ipod nano(griffin) anyone has it got working?
16:18:58amiconnI'm not talking about disabling things. I rather want to estimate how much we should increase the overlay area for chessbox on archos
16:19:17Paul_The_NerdaXp: No.
16:19:26amiconnSince it is still fairly small, we could just give it some more than absolutely necessary
16:19:27linuxstbaXp: No, Rockbox doesn't support accessories that communicate with the ipod.
16:20:00marevalowell, apart from this change (openings) the other thing I should add is just a little bit of code before my target for the freeze

16:20:55marevalobut it shouldn't be so much code
16:21:44marevaloso 56 or 64k should be more than enough

17:03:27Mikachuhow much ram does it need, and where does it allocate it from?
17:03:32linuxstbI was just thinking the same - with your tiny audio buffer.
17:03:38linuxstbThe audio buffer.
17:03:52Mikachuis 26MB enough?
17:04:03linuxstbI thought your plugin buffer was 26MB?
17:04:06preglowshould be ample, i think
17:04:16Mikachuyes, i was thinking about changing it to use the plugin buffer
17:04:44linuxstbYes, as preglow said, I'm sure 26MB is ample.

17:17:52lostlogicSlasheri: thanks :) I think I've finally got a handle on the _buffer_ handling, but the track struct handling is still difficult :-\
17:18:12Slasheriyeah, it's used to prevent the ring structure overflowing.. and when clearing the buffers so correct track entries are cleared
17:18:34lostlogicSlasheri: ok, I think it may be my next victim (muahahaha)
17:18:57Slasheri:D i hope you do some extensive testing after changing the code..
17:19:33Slasheribecause even the smallest changes like to break some parts from the engine :)
17:19:50Slasheriso you are thinking about converting that ring structure to a dynamic list?
17:21:24lostlogicSlasheri: not yet... but I prefer to do things in a mathematically correct way, then see what I've forgotten (when Paul_The_Nerd and ep0ch report) and then fix my math and try again...

17:21:41lostlogicit's impossible to test every corner case and weirdness, but it's possible to mathematically capture them all :)
17:22:19lostlogicSlasheri: it's broken in CVS already, and will probably continue to be so for the next week or so as every major change will fix some things and break others until it restabilizes.
17:22:38Slasheriwell, yeah. but you are going to remove that track_count variable?
17:22:54lostlogicSlasheri: it is likely that it will fall victim to a refactoring.
17:23:01Slasherihmm
17:23:12lostlogicSlasheri: but now that I think of it, that might not happen until the tracks become a linked list.
17:23:44Slasheriyep, it shouldn't.. and probably not even after the linked lists are implemented
17:23:57Slasheribecause it's always good to know how many tracks are currently loaded in the buffer
17:24:30lostlogicI can't think of a good reason with linked lists to know how many tracks are in memory, only that there are tracks, and whether or not each track is in the ringbuffer or not.
17:25:42 Quit Paul_The_Nerd ("Leaving.")
17:25:44lostlogicbut any way, I'm not there yet. right now I need to figure out why my work to fix some track skipping errors has decided to break buffering completely.
17:26:49lostlogicI was hoping you'd tell me that track count was a magical variable and that would tell me that it was the probable cause for my current effedupness
17:27:57Slasherihehe, there shouldn't be any magic with that :) unless you have already touched it
17:28:16Slasheribut current implementation absolutely requires that track count

17:44:55webguest54I installed the bleeding edge build and playback engine is completly crazy
17:45:01lostlogicSlasheri: what happens if you skip backwards to a track that was set to use the track earlier than itself in the buffer's codec? Force buffer refill to get the codec?
17:45:24lostlogicwebguest54: yes, that is likely, it's undergoing a complete sandblasting.
17:45:29webguest54every few seconds HD activity.... + no skiping possible, are those problems for all?
17:46:05webguest54lostlogic: will you fix this *soon* or need do dowgrade?
17:46:06lostlogicI've been rewhacking major parts of it. I think the version that is in CVS right now will be buffering far far too often.
17:46:13Slasherilostlogic: yep, buffer refill is forced if that happens
17:46:30webguest54just few seconds buffered
17:46:45lostlogicwebguest54: soon is relative, I use the software daily and the version that I'm working on is worse than CVS so I'm actively working on it, but I'd guess I won't have another commit until afternoon (CDT)

18:01:53amiconnThe second close() will find the file descriptor already closed and terminate
18:02:15amiconnNot closing a file is far worse
18:03:12amiconnLeaking file descriptors, and their number is fixed...
18:03:32lostlogic*nod* is there any reasonable chance that the same file descriptor would have been assigned to another caller to open() in the meantime and thereby causing another application to get a closed descriptor suddenly?

18:10:01Lamedhello everybody
18:10:31lostlogicso basically, it's important to 1) not leak descriptors and 2) not double close if another thread has run in the meantime
18:10:40amiconnyep
18:11:22amiconnThe mpeg thread on archos has a simple mechanism to ensure this
18:12:10LamedI'm gonna be off an internet connection for a long while. can someone suggest me a way of downloading everything from rockbox's site? (the www package is obsolete btw)
18:12:13amiconnThere's a global fd variable (the mpeg thread opens only one file at a time) which is set by open(), and reset to -1 after close()
18:12:30amiconnSo, closing means
18:12:35lostlogicamiconn: yeah, same in the swcodec, except I think I abused it this morning.

18:23:12Mikachubut that doesn't make any sense... why would that break the graphics?
18:23:23Mikachui wonder if cvs update -D "clock" is my time or cvs server time

18:24:45Mikachui don't suppose i can make cvs diff a directory between two dates?
18:25:09linuxstbYou can do it easily with the web interface.
18:25:19linuxstb(but only on single files...)
18:25:24Mikachuyeah, i looked at those
18:25:36linuxstbI guess you just have to download two copies and do a diff.
18:25:42Mikachuokay

18:26:50lostlogicwhy wouldn't you be able to diff between two dates?
18:26:51Mikachuahah, there i go
18:27:01Mikachui just assumed it wouldn't work :P
18:27:03preglowamiconn: because the only guy who seems to be interested in fixing it doesn't seem to have time to fix it
18:27:19lostlogicthat would be one shitty SCM tool.
18:27:36Mikachucvs is not in so high regard with me
18:28:17lostlogicCVS may not be the be-all, end-all it used to be, but it's still a functional and robust tool...
18:28:47lostlogicI still gotta find some time to learn and play with git myself.
18:28:53luckzhow do I know if some patches already made their way into the cvs?
18:29:03preglowluckz: they should be closed in the tracker

18:31:07lostlogicSlasheri: let me know what you think of my last 3 or 4 commits to playback.c, combined they are a pretty major rehack, but I think they pave the way for us to stabilize this thing for 3.0.
18:33:07Lamedguys: any chance of recommanding me something so i could download everything from rockbox.org (html, that is mostly)
18:33:23Mikachuwhy would you want to?

18:35:34Lamedmikachu: i'll be off an internet connection for a while, and i want to be able to view the wiki and stuff for information
18:35:41Mikachuah
18:35:46linuxstbluckz: That seems a reasonable patch to me, but I think it's up to Slasheri to add it to tagcache - tagache is his baby. But remember that we are currently in a feature freeze in preparation for releasing 3.0.
18:36:02preglowamiconn: they aren't known for their ability to fix bugs

18:43:05Slasheriin fact both of the patches looks good. But the tagcache patch requires some modifying to apply it to the latest cvs

19:10:24Paul_The_NerdI think so, yes.
19:10:24Lamedamiconn: i don't have any use of them, not that bored after all
19:10:32preglowborges_: yes
19:10:37Paul_The_NerdThough going above 0 can result in clipping
19:10:43borges_nice.
19:10:45Slasheriand pressing stop causes really weird effects.. it takes over 10s for the playback to actually stop (i have a large crossfade buffer)
19:10:56preglowPaul_The_Nerd: retailos is capped at far lower than 0db

19:14:00Lamedhow can i tell the size of a site's folder? say /documentation?
19:14:50Paul_The_Nerdborges_: That is the best way to do it. The Nano with Rockbox is exceptional if you don't go into it with a desire to see a reproduction of how Apple works. Everything Retail does is there, and a lot more, but it doesn't have the polish to the interface some people expect.
19:14:54MikachuLamed: download it and check...

19:17:21borges_nah, i don't care about the default interface.
19:17:33borges_i just love (and need) those extra codecs and features like directory structure, mass storage etc.

20:45:58Lamedisn't there a script to generate lang 2 files out of old lang files?
20:46:00luckzso, uhm, unless your rockbox is entirely different..
20:46:01preglowthere's a setting for it, even, which i always turn off
20:46:17lostlogicasdf;ljka
20:46:24lostlogicwhere's that done!?
20:47:05luckzlook at the options ;)
20:47:21luckzmaybe it's related to the crossfeed settings, not sure.
20:47:32preglowit's not
20:47:34preglowit's in playback
20:47:35amiconnNo, it's totally different
20:47:52preglowand i suspect it's been in rockbox for ages
20:47:55amiconnFade out is done with the audiocodec's volume control, and also works on archos
20:48:03lostlogicok, I have never seen any code in playback.c, pcmbuf.c or pcm_playback.c to handle fading out on pause
20:49:46amiconnmp3_pause_done() is related to fade out, in that it tells whether playback has really stopped
20:50:43preglowcould anyone on cygwin check if mp3_encoder compiles?
20:50:56amiconnIt exists because the MAS has an internal buffer of a fixed length, which we can't flush programmatically and causes it to continue playing for some time after we stop feeding it mp3 data
20:51:58amiconnThis time can be more than a second for very low bitrates. When doing fade out, after we reach silence, we need to wait for the MAS to run out of data before switching the volume back to normal
20:53:11lostlogicamiconn: ah, fade out is done with volume, no wonder I've not seen it, thanks!

21:31:28Slasheritagcache uses metadata.c to get the real metadata
21:31:37Slasheri(while it builds the db)
21:31:47luckzSlasheri: well, the albumartist patch changes metadata while the discnumber one changes tagcache
21:32:06preglowlinuxstb: didn't you do some measurements on the 4g now?
21:32:13Slasheriluckz: yep.. the albumartist patch needs to add an entry to tagcache also
21:32:20amiconnpreglow: http://www.davechapman.f2s.com/rockbox/battery_bench_ipod4gcolor60gb.txt
21:32:21Slasherisame way the discnumber patch does
21:32:52preglowamiconn: shouldn't be too hard to have battery readout support soon now, then?
21:32:52luckzso I'll just go to all places changed by either and put in the necessary stuff for both, yes? their function is pretty alike, after all.
21:33:16Slasheriamiconn: btw, what do you think if the first entry in file browser would be <Browse Tags> and in tagcache browser <Browse Files>?
21:33:22SlasheriI have almost implemented that now..
21:33:24ender`where does doom expect it's WADs?
21:33:34Mikachuender`: it expects its wads in /games/doom/
21:33:37crashdSlasheri: i'd like that ;o
21:33:39luckzender`: apparently in Games\Doom or so
21:33:52amiconnSlasheri: That sounds less intuitive to me than just a virtual sub-dir
21:33:58luckzis doom supposed to work on the X5 in any way?
21:34:05Slasheriamiconn: hmm, yeah.. but that would work for both ways
21:34:08crashdi guess though, if you can choose it via a menu
21:34:08ender`ok, i've got doom1.wad in there, but it doesn't seem to work
21:34:09luckz(it gets compiled for it, after all)
21:34:19crashdand there is a way to change on-the-fly, via a virtual dir as amiconn suggests
21:34:21crashd*shrug*
21:34:23Mikachuender`: do you have rockdoom.wad too?
21:34:27amiconnpreglow: I would like to see discharge curves of other ipods taken with battery_bench and continuous playback from fully charged to low-bat shutdown
21:34:27ender`no
21:34:43Mikachutada
21:34:44amiconnSlasheri: That would look like a circular link...
21:35:11preglowamiconn: yeah, i just need to fix the ata.c hack first, then i'll do a rundown
21:35:12Slasheriamiconn: hmm, true.. maybe the virtual sub-dir would be better then
21:35:24amiconnvirtual sub-dir also works both ways: just leave it to get back to fs
21:35:56amiconnpreglow: Nice.
21:35:59Slasheriamiconn: however, that has the one benefit that after rebooting unit, the last browse mode would be recalled
21:36:08luckz21:32:14 < Slasheri> luckz: yep.. the albumartist patch needs to add an entry to tagcache also <- the point also was more that not one patch changes both metadata and tagcache while the other doesn't but that both ONLY change either one and that that confuses me
21:36:11amiconnWe could also use a curve from a 5g...
21:36:44RoC_MMpreglow, should I just keep asking you from time to time to see the progress of the ata.c hack and the calculations needed and to keep it on your mind?
21:37:07Slasheriluckz: hmm, do you have a link to the patch that changed the metadata also?
21:37:10amiconnSlasheri: Hmm. We could remember the last dir instead. Would be even more general
21:37:22Slasheriamiconn: hehe, agreed too
21:37:27amiconn...but requires to stop using the config sector
21:37:34preglowRoC_MM: 4g battery should work soon
21:37:38preglowyou need to bug linuxstb, not mee

21:38:02luckzSlasheri: http://www.rockbox.org/tracker/task/4961 <- only tagcache || http://www.rockbox.org/tracker/task/2974 <- only metadata
21:38:20RoC_MMWhat is linuxstb working on preglow?
21:38:32amiconnpreglow: If we have the curves, and also the standard capacities, correct battery readout for all ipods should be simple
21:38:54amiconnWe already know the scale factor is identical (it has to, since it is the same chip)

21:42:21Paul_The_Nerdluckz: In their own sector, elsewhere on the disk. They aren't in an actual file.

21:43:26PhR3aKyes thats what i meant, in the and i got too many trash in my rockbox folder
21:43:30PhR3aKso better delete?
21:44:01luckzdid you add custom themes etc? still have them on your comp?
21:45:17PhR3aKis someone working on the power management for the x5? because the battery life really isnt that good even with the "L" version
21:45:22afruff23does anybody know if the X5 has software charge control or monitoring
21:45:55DBUGEnqueued KICK PhR3aK
21:45:55PhR3aK(afruff23): how long lasts your x5 with the rockbox fw?
21:46:09afruff23don't keep track
21:46:15luckzafruff23: I dont think that just repeating yourself will get you anywhere; I also dont understand your question
21:46:24lostlogicep0ch: is it true that the screwed up pause crap only happens during initial buffer fill?
21:46:43ender`ouch, doom on h120 can certainly cause a headache
21:46:49afruff23 %bc "c" if the unit is currently charging the battery (only on targets that have software charge control or monitoring)
21:46:57afruff23taken from CustomWPS page
21:47:16afruff23I want to make an X5 WPS with this
21:47:19afruff23is it possible?
21:47:27ep0chlostlogic: seems so
21:47:38 Part stripwax
21:47:46lostlogicep0ch: yay for at least narrowing down WTF.
21:47:54hardeepI'm totally for the virtual sub dir idea for tag database
21:48:05luckzafruff23: I dont know if you can even charge the X5 while using it. at least I havent done so successfully.
21:48:19Paul_The_Nerdafruff23: Can you charge while in the retail firmware? If so, you'll probably eventually be able to charge in Rockbox.
21:48:24hardeepespecially if other modules (e.g. playlist) could use the virtual path directly
21:48:27Slasheriluckz: i am going to do the sub dir idea. But not sure if i do it during the feature freeze :)
21:48:52hardeepthat way you wouldn't have to insert each track into the playlist
21:49:06hardeepwhen in tag database
21:49:29Paul_The_Nerdafruff23: By "charge while in retail" I mean, can you charge while doing other stuff (playback, browsing)

21:50:02amiconnSlasheri: How's chunked browsing coming along?
21:50:13afruff23basically, when rockbox is on?
21:50:18luckzSlasheri: how long do you think it'll approximately take until I in some way can obtain a then-current rockbox build with those features?
21:50:20PhR3aK(Paul_The_Nerd) yes you can
21:50:32Paul_The_Nerdafruff23: I didn't say anything about rockbox...
21:50:38Slasheriamiconn: needs more work, but probably in a few days when i get enough time to do it
21:50:45afruff23oh, charge in retail firmware?
21:50:46afruff23yes
21:50:47luckzPaul_The_Nerd: if I understood the manual etc correctly, you cant charge in retail
21:50:51luckzbut that is just me
21:51:08Paul_The_Nerdafruff23: Then eventually you'll be able to charge in Rockbox probably, so the battery charging tag should work (once that's implemented, that is)
21:51:08luckzas it tends to then throw you OUT of the firmware and into a "charging..." screen, IIRC
21:51:28afruff23no, it doesn't
21:51:36ep0chSlasheri: any idea what a "-2" error code is on boot with dircache enabled?
21:51:42Slasheriluckz: well, if not during the feature freeze, probably very soon after it (just make sure you remember to mention that to me again) :)
21:52:02afruff23the battery icon animates while charging in the original firmware
21:52:08Slasheriep0ch: unfortunately the error code doesn't tell much :/ you have two possibilities:
21:52:38Slasheritoo many files (dircache ram size limit is reached) or too deep directory structure (over 6-8 levels)
21:52:54PhR3aKhm, any idea why rockbox hangs sometimes? it happens after a time, i recognize it often when crossfading stops working, and when i try to swich tracks, the x5 hangs
21:53:00ep0chSlasheri: yes too many files - i tried 30,000 sid files :)
21:53:00Slasheriep0ch: if you want the exact error, you may check with logf enabled
21:53:05Slasherihehe :D
21:53:28Slasheriyep, that is too much for dircache to handle
21:53:30ep0chboy wasn't rockbox happy when i tried to delete them as well
21:53:30goffa_haven't had that happen to me PhR3aK but then i don't use crossfade
21:53:47Slasheriwe would need some sort of compression to handle that much of files
21:53:54PhR3aKcould it be that crossfading is not this stable?
21:54:01ep0chno worries
21:54:09afruff23I bleive it puts a lot fo strain on the processor
21:54:13afruff23to use crossfade
21:54:18PhR3aKyeah that could be
21:54:19afruff23believe*
21:54:26PhR3aKbut i love this feature :)
21:54:34goffa_its always annoyed me
21:54:43theli_uai'm slightly confused ... why does 'make clean' makes sources unusable? (for example it removes 'firmware' dir)
21:54:47Slasherilots of changes to the playback engine has been made recently
21:54:58luckzI got rid of crossfading because it takes annoyingly long to just skip a few tracks
21:54:59 Quit SereR0KR ("XChat Aqua")
21:54:59Slasheriand in its current state it's quite buggy..
21:55:08luckz(it should not crossfade on manual skip IMO)
21:55:15afruff23Could the hold switch for the X55 be used for somethign other than hold?
21:55:18luckzI really like crossfades on track end though
21:55:18Slasheribut now going to sleep, night
21:55:18goffa_it took me a while to disable it on pause
21:55:29ep0chcya
21:55:34goffa_then i found it
21:55:34Slasheri:)
21:55:35afruff23since the buttons and joystick never get accidentally pressed in most pockets
21:55:40hardeepluckz: i believe that is configurable

22:34:16Paul_The_NerdManually save your settings, and then all variables are in the .cfg

22:45:53afruff23is 2250 good?(compared to other rockbox players)
22:46:11goffa_yeah
22:46:21Paul_The_NerdThe H120/320 are 1300.
22:46:32goffa_actually i think the x5l has one of the stronger batteries if not the strongest
22:46:41amiconnSome say the H300 is 1400mAh
22:46:41Paul_The_NerdThough many people have replaced 'em with 1900-2200 ones.
22:47:16afruff23are there any higher cpacity batteries available in a size that would fit mp3 players
22:47:29afruff23I am aware the price would be high
22:48:12goffa_probably.. it all depends on the form factor of the case, how badly you want to void your warranty, etc
22:48:13Paul_The_NerdWell it depends on the mp3 player
22:48:54goffa_i get pretty good life out of my x5l.. like 20 hours
22:49:04afruff23anybody know the iPod 60 gig 5g's mAh?
22:49:08goffa_that was with default firmware or rockbox
22:50:08goffa_all of my songs are ogg q6, mp3 vbr (around 256), and mpc extreme
22:50:34goffa_ogg seems to give me the most battery life...
22:50:48afruff23odd, ogg is usually the msot intensive
22:50:51afruff23most*
22:51:00afruff23what bitrate is q6?
22:51:02goffa_i think the smaller the size the better battery life you can expect.. of course the higher the compression lower the sound quality
22:51:09Mikachui think mp3 is the worst optimised one
22:51:17preglowafruff23: vorbis doesn't use bitrate settings...
22:51:25preglowthat's the point of the quality setting
22:51:38afruff23there's no AVerage bitrate?
22:51:40afruff23average*
22:51:43preglowno
22:51:53Mikachuyou _can_ encode with an abr
22:51:57preglowq6 is _very_ roughly average to 192kbps
22:52:04preglowbut that's very roughly, and there's no rate control
22:52:14Mikachubut it's not recommended
22:52:43goffa_and ogg uses more cpu, but less disk access... and the disk access is what drains the battery
22:52:48goffa_at least in my experience
22:52:54goffa_flac really sucked the juice
22:52:56Mikachusome guy made the encoder work with very low bitrates, like 4 or 8, and encoded a dire straits song with it
22:53:09Mikachuit's like 250kB for 5 minutes and you can actually hear what they sing and some of the instruments

22:56:24Paul_The_Nerdslasheri: Is there a particular reason why when selecting a song in an album it would take 8 seconds for playback to start in tagcache, or is that just an "I haven't gotten around to making it create playlists quickly" thing?

23:06:35Mikachuit is better than mp3 at 4kbits/s
23:07:04crashdi bet you could tweak it to make it sound better
23:07:07amiconnHmm, interesting: Just removing data_end++; and changing the loop condition from data < data_end to data <= data_end shaved 16 bytes off the binary

23:10:17preglowMikachu: only one way to find out
23:10:34amiconnAnyway, one step closer to grayscale lib: lcd_blit() in cvs...
23:11:54amiconn...and I know the LCD refresh rates for 4g gray and mini 2g. They are a bit lower than on archos and H1x0, but that lowers the CPU load a bit
23:13:08Mikachupreglow: and what is that?
23:13:10amiconnUnfortunately the grayscale lib on ipod will suck almost 50% CPU power (at 75MHz), similar to what it draws on archos
23:13:28amiconnOn H1x0 it needs less than 10%, and we don't need to boost...

23:27:47amiconnpreglow: From looking at the lcd writing code, it seems there is something like an interface controller between the cpu and the actual lcd controller
23:27:59preglowamiconn: wouldn't surprise me
23:28:04Mooslostlogic: ohoh, I didn't test your last fix yet
23:28:07amiconnThis controller handles the timing requirements of the lcd controller
23:28:16afruff23 Audio ADC/DAC driver 50% Playback works, recording not done
23:28:17lostlogicMoos: don't expect much new in the latest, that was mostly non-functional changes.
23:28:21afruff23from X5 port page
23:28:31afruff23does recording necessarily mean using hte Mic?
23:28:34afruff23the*
23:28:35amiconn...but: somehow the timing is apparently much slower than what the lcd controller can handle
23:28:37Mooslostlogic: ok
23:28:39ep0chpreglow: do you have any recommended settings for crossfeed?
23:28:40preglowamiconn: damn, it's got _SIX_ dma channels
23:28:47preglowep0ch: the defaults should be pretty nice
23:28:55lostlogicMoos: yes, I expected I'd severely break playback when I started this, now the goal is to fix it. and in the end we'll have a cleaner and more robust (and a bit faster) system.
23:28:56afruff23in other words, are there definite plans to support the mic on the X5?
23:29:20preglowep0ch: http://www.ohl.to/interests-in-audio/crossfeed-and-eq-for-headphones/
23:29:24amiconnI suspect there's some configuration register for this interface controller, where the timings can be adjusted
23:29:25Mooslostlogic: we are in bugs hunting, no? : )
23:29:28preglowep0ch: check that page, it's from jlo, who designed the crossfeed
23:29:40preglowwe really should find out how to use the dma

23:31:52preglowamiconn: the pp spec sheet says it's got display controllers
23:32:11amiconnpreglow: The lcd controller can handle cycle times of 600ns at the lowest voltage. It's a 16bit i/f, so this would allow ~3MByte/s transfer rate.
23:33:00lostlogicMoos: I'm encouraging people to help me.

23:33:33preglowwe're in dev anyway

23:41:00preglowep0ch: yup, be careful you don't make it clip now, though
23:41:04preglowep0ch: since that's possible
23:41:07Mikachuare the interrupt handlers written in assembler?
23:41:18preglowMikachu: on ipod, only the fiq handler is
23:41:22Mikachuokay
23:41:24preglowthat's the most critical one anyway
23:41:36Mikachuthere is an "interrupt" attribute in gcc
23:41:41amiconnpreglow: Hah, this is nice: In arm asm, a conditional return is just one instruction, including the register restore...
23:41:45Mikachu"The compiler will generate function entry and exit sequences suitable for use in an interrupt handler when this attribute is present."
23:41:55preglowamiconn: yeah, that's really sweet
23:41:57MikachuPermissible values for this parameter are: IRQ, FIQ, SWI, ABORT and UNDEF.

23:49:37Mikachubut i need the english.lng if i want to change back to english from something, heh
23:49:52amiconnIf you loaded it once, the settings block will remember it. If you then remove english.lng, it will still try to load it, but fail
23:49:53Mikachuor save settings, edit out the lang, reset and reload
23:50:18Moosthat remind me I need to finish francais.lang rework
23:50:23amiconnHowever, not loading english.lng won't save any memory
23:50:36Mikachubut possibly a millisecond of startup time?

23:51:44preglowi can't imagine why the hell someone would want to run with an old lang file
23:51:58Mikachuuseful, i can edit the .cfg with jdgordons text editor
23:52:09bluebrother^when seeking playback hangs after stopping to seek. Pausing and unpausing gets playback to work again.
23:52:09amiconnNot necessarily want, but it might happen
23:52:15lostlogicbluebrother^: yes, yes it is, on all swcodec targets, until I figure out why seek_complete is not always unpausing.
23:52:21amiconnThen the strings would be all mixed up....

23:53:55preglowamiconn: btw, why do we care? we don't even _have_ voice files now, isn't it better if i keep the nice structure you made in the lang file until release? :)
23:54:21bluebrother^e.g. like the beep that I'm sometimes missing?
23:54:36amiconnThe .lang will see a final cleanup before release anyway (I hope)

23:55:12Mooslostlogic: maybe put bug report somwhere in the wiki until you fix all of them? maybe the playback one
23:55:19bluebrother^sounds like the swcodecs need some work until the release.
23:55:35bluebrother^btw, is doom supposed to work on h120?
23:55:38amiconnReminds me, voice files should also know about the binary language version
