00:21:28ShadowdogMUIs a patch required to make album art work or something?
00:21:36ShadowdogMU(iPod)
00:22:08dionoeayes
00:23:19ShadowdogMUUg, got a link?
00:23:22ShadowdogMUor name?
00:23:42dionoeai don't. You should be able to find info i nthe forum
00:23:43Paul_The_NerdTry searching for album art in the patch tracker...
00:24:17ShadowdogMUOk do I want one for ID3 tags or WPS?
00:24:32ShadowdogMUnevermind
00:24:38ShadowdogMUthe ID3 isn't even album art
00:25:38ShadowdogMUThere is no download link, this is confusing
00:25:56ShadowdogMUand before I go further, do I have to make my own, or will it be able to use the album art I added with iTunes
00:26:14Paul_The_NerdRead the description of the patch.
00:26:40Paul_The_NerdMany, if not most, of us do not use it.
00:26:48freqmodYou'll need to convert album art to bmp files, http://www.rockbox.org/tracker/task/3045
00:26:54ShadowdogMUScrew that
00:26:58*ShadowdogMU goes back to skin making
00:27:02freqmodif you want the patch then you'll rebuild
00:27:15freqmodelse you will have to get an experimental build

04:10:19 Nick bagawk_ is now known as bagawk (n=lee@unaffiliated/bagawk)
04:10:20midkayBigMac: a sprite sheet for what? literally could be anything. as well, "accredited" means something else entirely.
04:10:21jhMikeSI got it working already. It's not that messed up. Nice work.
04:11:16BigMacim making a parappa the rapper plugin
04:11:27BigMacso i need a sprite sheet of him
04:11:29ShadowdogMUThanks, how did you get it to work, I want to know, so many people ask me why it doesn't
04:11:39BigMacbecause im horrible at imagery
04:11:49BigMacand iif they do they will get credit
04:11:57jhMikeSI just went to http://www.adobe.com/svg/viewer/install/main.html
04:12:16jhMikeSClicked on my lang and os and ran the install. Done.
04:12:18ShadowdogMUHehe, thanks
04:12:19midkayBigMac: a "parappa the rapper plugin"? do i even want to know..
04:12:46BigMacmidgey34: have you ever played parappa?
04:12:54midkayi'm midkay, and no.
04:13:11midkayhaha, looking at some screenshots; good luck..
04:13:26BigMacwoops
04:13:31BigMactried the tab thing
04:13:42midkaypress it twice.
04:13:47BigMacit should be easy coding
04:13:50BigMaci didnt notice
04:14:03midkayshould it now? how much have you done?
04:14:13BigMaci have the source written in asm
04:14:21midkaywritten yourself?
04:14:30BigMacand a few of my friends agreed to help
04:14:33BigMacno
04:15:02midkayso you'll just kind of convert someone else's asm code into C.. sounds easy, riight...
04:15:03BigMacbut we just thought about doing it today
04:15:19BigMacno
04:15:27BigMacwere going to rewrite it
04:15:30BigMacbut i know asm
04:15:33BigMacso i can compare
04:15:46BigMacso i can see what something does in asm and replicate it in c
04:15:55midkaygood luck..
04:16:07BigMaceveryone said trying something is the best way to learn, so im trying
04:16:10BigMacthanks
04:16:21*jhMikeS has finished his "homework assignment" =^)
04:17:01BigMacill post screenies when i make some progress

07:00:50peejaythat was meant to be banker
07:00:52peejay:D
07:00:54BHSPitMonkeyyou never asked a question
07:01:05BHSPitMonkeyso, I can understand why nobody "anwsered" you
07:01:13peejayi did
07:01:21peejayi asked if anyone was here :P
07:01:38BHSPitMonkey"is anyone here" isn't a question anyone will get off their ass and answer
07:01:49peejay:(
07:01:50BHSPitMonkeysince you can clearly see there are 100 users here
07:02:21peejayyea but alot of people leave their pcs
07:02:50Paul_The_NerdYep
07:02:56Paul_The_NerdAnd a lot of people just work until something worth responding to comes up
07:03:04BHSPitMonkeyexactly
07:03:19BHSPitMonkeyasking to ask your question is bad IRC practice
07:03:26peejayright ok
07:03:32peejayi'll know in future i guess
07:03:39Paul_The_NerdMe, I just sit around looking for excuses to tell people to read the manual.
07:03:54BHSPitMonkeylet's hope you're one of those excuses, peejay !
07:04:00*BHSPitMonkey grins to Paul_The_Nerd
07:04:05Paul_The_NerdSo, before you ask your question, whatever it may be, consider carefully whether the answer might be lurking in the depths of the manual.
07:04:10Paul_The_Nerd;)
07:04:17peejayi dont have the manual :D
07:04:44Paul_The_NerdYou're on the internet.
07:04:51peejayAh true
07:05:05BHSPitMonkeygot ya there.
07:05:08Paul_The_NerdThe manual is readily available from our site in both HTML and PDF forms.
07:05:17Paul_The_NerdWe're handly like that.
07:05:25peejaywhat manual are you talkin about?
07:05:27Paul_The_NerdWe won't even settle for "My PDF viewer causes my system to crash"
07:05:38Paul_The_NerdWell, this is #rockbox, so the Rockbox manual...

07:08:03peejayi doubt this problem is in 'the manual' to be honest
07:08:18jni have an idea for you guys :) anyone familar with the security system homebrew for psp
07:08:25jni was thinking about something similar for rb
07:09:04jnsomething that will check the cpu device mounts too.. if it doesnt match then it sends email to specified address with ip of the cpu it is being used on
07:09:30peejayhow come when i start Rockbox up the menu looks like DOS?
07:09:47Paul_The_NerdYeah, that's in the manual.
07:10:01Paul_The_NerdIf by "Like DOS" you mean "It's text-based"
07:10:16peejayso where is 'the manual'?
07:10:17jn"Yeah, that's in the manual." talking to me Paul?
07:11:02Paul_The_Nerdpeejay: You could try the "Documentation" link on the website... it's also available on the Daily Build page I believe
07:11:21Paul_The_NerdI mean, there's not really a "why" to it, so much as a "That's how it is. You can change the font or background if you'd like."
07:12:13peejayyea but i've spent the past 2 hours searching the site and forums
07:12:21peejayand am none the wiser to it :(
07:12:29peejayi dunno how to change them
07:12:31Paul_The_Nerdjn: No. Your idea is silly and impossible. It would never work without removing the dual boot option, plus most Rockboxable devices only exist as a UMS storage device, and the firmware can't actually communicate with the PC really, over the USB. :-P
07:13:15Paul_The_Nerdpeejay: Read the manual. Come back if there are parts of it you don't get. Say "It told me to do X, but when I try it, it doesn't work" or "It says do Y, but I really don't get what it means"]
07:13:45peejayif the manual is the documentation i've done everythin it says
07:13:50jnall you need to do is get files to autorun upon mounting
07:14:47Paul_The_Nerdpeejay: The manual is the manual. It's specifically called the manual.
07:15:29Paul_The_Nerdjn: Out of curiosity, would you just put several different programs designed to run on different OSes, and just hope the user has autoplay enabled?
07:16:05BHSPitMonkeylol
07:16:32Paul_The_Nerdpeejay: Changing a theme is as simple as extracting it, putting the files in the right place, choosing "Browse Themes" and picking it. If it doesn't work, you're either trying to use a theme for a different player, or you haven't put the files in the right place.
07:17:54jnno i would make a version for *nix and one for windows and include a man
07:18:26jnyoull think of how you mocked me one day if you come home to your ipod missing..
07:18:39Paul_The_NerdOut of curiosity, how would it work?
07:18:50 Quit Febs (Read error: 104 (Connection reset by peer))
07:18:52BHSPitMonkeyOut of curiosity, what does this have to do with rockbox?
07:18:55Paul_The_NerdIf I have autoplay disabled and plug in an iPod with your software on it, it doesn't run, I delete it, I'm done.
07:19:05jngoogle psp anti theft
07:19:31jnyou dont need autoplay on..
07:19:37jnstop talking shit and read
07:19:48jnat least back up your ego.. god damn
07:19:55Paul_The_NerdI did back it up.
07:19:59Paul_The_NerdWhile you've not explained anything
07:20:34jnNo actually your rabid assumtions are hardly support for your claims
07:20:35Paul_The_NerdThe PSP has control of the USB device, and does not ONLY serve as an UMS device.
07:20:48Paul_The_NerdWhich means that software running on the PSP has access to the USB port for its own uses
07:20:55Paul_The_NerdI explained to you that software running on Rockbox in most cases does not
07:20:59BHSPitMonkeyjn, did you read about the original program on digg?
07:21:01Paul_The_NerdWhich means the software would need to run on the host PC
07:21:22Paul_The_NerdYou made the assumption that just because it can be done on the PSP it can work here, without any real technical knowledge
07:21:32jnor in theory NOT be running on the host pc
07:21:45Paul_The_NerdIn what theory?
07:21:49Paul_The_NerdWhere would it run if not the host PC?
07:22:33*BHSPitMonkey decides that jn should quit while he/she is behind.
07:23:17Paul_The_NerdHeck, the PSP one is a rather cheap hack too, if it depends on a .bat file
07:23:26Paul_The_NerdSeriously, here's how I'd bypass the PSP one:
07:23:33Paul_The_NerdA) Remove Memory Stick Duo
07:23:39Paul_The_NerdB) Delete PATS
07:23:40Paul_The_NerdC) reinsert
07:24:08jnor format ms from psp
07:24:49jnsave you the trouble of removing it
07:25:09Paul_The_NerdI wasn't even aware the PSP had a format option. Of course, I'd assumed the PATS was actually decent until I read about it.
07:25:31Paul_The_NerdSince it's just a simple script and a file set to autoplay, a small change or two and I'm sure you could use it on your iPod.
07:25:52jnbut not on rb
07:25:53jn?
07:26:02Paul_The_NerdIt has nothing to do with iPod
07:26:07Paul_The_NerdIt'll work on any storage device.
07:26:15Paul_The_NerdErr nothing to do with Rockbox even.
07:26:23jnah.. want to help make this happen?
07:26:28Paul_The_NerdNo.
07:26:34BHSPitMonkey"This is an App that will help you get back your stolen psp... or any other usb device that uses Autoruns :D"
07:26:34jnhaha.. ok
07:26:44Paul_The_NerdBecause it's stupid, as I said.
07:26:46BHSPitMonkeyin other words, extract the damn thing to your iPod. that's it.
07:26:47Paul_The_NerdAnyone who disables autoplay is safe from it.
07:26:53BHSPitMonkeythere's nothing to "make happen"
07:27:08Paul_The_NerdWell he might want to change the .reg file
07:27:08jnBHSPitMonkey: how bout nix version
07:27:17Paul_The_NerdSo that it creates a unique folder separate from the one for his PSP
07:27:40Paul_The_Nerdjn: No *nix system is likely to automatically run ANY file from a plugged in mass storage device without user intervention.
07:27:58BHSPitMonkeyjn, personally, I think nix users are less likely to steal from people :)
07:28:20jndude im talking about me
07:28:30jni have to get it to recognize the nix box
07:28:33jnmine
07:28:37BHSPitMonkeythe "Version" depends on the theif's hardware.
07:28:37Paul_The_NerdPersonally, I think *nix users are likely to steal something far more interesting than an iPod if looking for pocket sized gadgets.
07:28:51BHSPitMonkeywell, not really.
07:29:05BHSPitMonkeyhehe Paul_The_Nerd
07:29:10Paul_The_Nerdjn: If it doesn't run, it doesn't have to recognize your box, now does it?
07:29:23jneh?
07:29:26BHSPitMonkeypaul is correct.
07:29:34BHSPitMonkeyit already is a nix version, pretty much..
07:29:37jnIf it doesn't run?
07:29:47Paul_The_NerdIt's entirely flawed in its base theory
07:29:47BHSPitMonkeyit will catch any theif with windows and autorun enabled.
07:29:57Paul_The_NerdThe security ONLY happens if the script gets executed
07:30:10Paul_The_NerdThe script only gets executed by stupid computer users: Those who have autoplay enabled in windows.
07:30:12jnbut you add the reg entires so it recognizes the owners box as safe
07:30:20BHSPitMonkeyjn, it won't even RUN on your computer.
07:30:23Paul_The_NerdHere's how I'd create such a thing
07:30:26BHSPitMonkeyno run, no registry check.
07:30:26jnlol
07:30:28Paul_The_Nerd1) It would require a modchipped PSP

07:30:28jnyour right
07:30:43Paul_The_Nerd2) You "lock" your PSP when not using it.
07:30:55jn"lock" ?
07:31:00Paul_The_Nerd3) When a USB cable is plugged in, or someone attempts to enter USB mode, it tries to connect to any open wifi networks and sent the email
07:31:13BHSPitMonkey"lock" is a function paul just made up
07:31:14Paul_The_Nerdjn: It would be a program on the PSP, notice I said it would require a modded one.
07:31:24Paul_The_NerdIt is something I made up. Thank you. :)
07:31:27jnhomebrew does not req a modded psp
07:31:36jnreq psp with >2.8 fw
07:31:43BHSPitMonkeyjn, homebrew also isn't capable of this concept.
07:31:44jn2.8 is newest and will be exploited soon
07:31:45unknownhostI'm getting: gcc: installation problem, cannot exec 'cc1': No such file or directory
07:31:53Paul_The_Nerd4) If a WiFi network could not be found, it attempts to use the USB port to gain access to the internet by way of the host PC, rather than serving as a UMS device. Hopefully this is possible.
07:31:54unknownhostdo I change my path or move the file?
07:31:58jnok then it would req flashing a 1.5 fw
07:32:04BHSPitMonkeyooh, a real problem!
07:32:09Paul_The_NerdNo storage-type connection will ever be made.
07:32:13BHSPitMonkeylet's divert attention from jn to unknownhost
07:32:22unknownhosttrying to build a sim
07:32:26jnadmit im sexy tho
07:32:35Paul_The_Nerdunknownhost: Your paths are wrong somehow, though I couldn't say how.
07:32:44BHSPitMonkeyand jn, why don't you try the command "/server irc.vgirc.net" and do a /list there
07:32:57jnlol
07:33:14jnunknownhost: is that the only error you are recieving?
07:33:16unknownhostI was followign the simple tutorial soemone was so gracious to write....
07:33:38unknownhostbut my default path didn't match what was written in the tutorial
07:33:41unknownhostso I added:
07:33:42unknownhostPATH=${HOME}/bin:${PATH}:/opt/sh/bin:/opt/m68k/bin:/opt/arm/bin:
07:33:44jnmight need build-essentials
07:34:20BHSPitMonkeywe're not all using ubuntu, jn
07:34:30peejaydoes anyone know a good program for converting videos for an iRiver H320?
07:34:40Paul_The_Nerdpeejay: Rockbox doesn't support video.
07:34:55BHSPitMonkey(though I actually happen to be, you shouldn't assume everyone else is)
07:35:02Paul_The_Nerdunknownhost: Do you get a positive response when you do a sh1-elf-gcc −−version ?
07:35:14jnBHSPitMonkey: what do you think?
07:35:30unknownhostcommand not found... does the path look ok?
07:35:54BHSPitMonkeyjn, I think I could go for a burger from steak n' shake right about now.
07:36:09peejayno but cant i still watch videos by accessing the original firmware?
07:36:12Paul_The_Nerdunknownhost: Are the cross compilers actually installed to those locations?
07:36:21jnpz then, im out too.. nice arguing with you guys for 20 minutes :)
07:36:29unknownhostI have 5 copies of cc1.exe, but none are in any of those locations
07:36:32Paul_The_Nerdpeejay: Yeah, but this isn't a channel about the original firmware. In fact most people here don't even have that player.
07:36:44peejayok right sorry
07:36:51Paul_The_Nerdunknownhost: Are you using Cygwin?
07:36:52*BHSPitMonkey is one of those "most"
07:36:54unknownhostyes
07:36:55jnpeejay: yes you can.. google.
07:37:30peejayi have, only gettin people complainin bout VirtualDub
07:37:34peejaydoesnt matter
07:37:36peejaythanks anyway
07:37:42Paul_The_Nerdunknownhost: You probably should've followed what the tutorial said, though I honestly don't know. The Cygwin method has always been a bit fuzzy at times.
07:38:24unknownhostshould I just start adding to the path? or copy the file(s) to another location? what's best?
07:38:25*Paul_The_Nerd strongly recommends using VMWare instead.
07:38:42Paul_The_NerdThe solution is almost never "move the files"
07:39:03unknownhosthehe .. to the trash maybe
07:39:04Paul_The_NerdBut the problem is that the path doesn't point to your crosscompilers.
07:39:06Paul_The_Nerdat all.
07:39:39unknownhostright .. there are many versions of cc1... from 3.4.4 to 4.0.3

07:39:58unknownhostI need the latest version lined up in a path?
07:40:20Paul_The_NerdWhere in what I said did you get *that* statement?
07:40:37unknownhostI just made it up
07:40:53Paul_The_NerdYou need to make sure the path actually points to where all three of the cross compilers are located.
07:40:59unknownhostthe word 'right' was a mistake
07:41:00Paul_The_NerdIt will *probably* work if you get that bit fixed.
07:41:52*peejay slaps Paul_The_Nerd around a bit with a large trout
07:42:40jnhey that idea you had paul is pretty good and with a hacked fw that already exists... it could work out
07:42:51 Quit peejay ()
07:43:32Paul_The_Nerdunknownhost: Seriously, if you get the paths pointing to whatever /bin/ folders arm-elf-gcc, sh1-elf-gcc and m68k-elf-gcc are hiding in, it'll probably work.
07:45:02unknownhostyeah.. I guess that's the part I can't figure out
07:45:06unknownhoston this page:
07:45:06unknownhosthttp://www.rockbox.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/CygwinDevelopment
07:45:33unknownhostat the bottom.... the base path is totally different that what was installed in my cygwin
07:45:49Paul_The_NerdWell, when you downloaded the CrossCompiler packages from the Rockbox Mirror, it *should've* set up the paths itself...
07:46:06unknownhostI guess I'm not sure of the syntax. neither appending or replacing the path line seem to get me going.
07:46:53Paul_The_NerdWhat you simply needed to do was add this line: PATH=$PATH:$HOME/bin:/usr/sbin:/opt/sh/bin:/opt/m68k/bin:/opt/arm/bin to the end of the file.
07:47:09Paul_The_NerdAssuming everything (the cross compilers) got installed to the right places
07:47:18Paul_The_NerdOut of curiosity does /opt/arm/bin actually exist?

07:49:35Paul_The_NerdAlso, why do you have ${PATH} instead of $PATH ?
07:49:43daurnimatorwhy not?
07:49:45daurnimator;)
07:50:02Paul_The_NerdIs Cygwin friendly with that?
07:50:12unknownhostThat was in my default cygwin install when I initially opened it...
07:50:27 Join JdGordon [0] (n=jonno@c211-28-95-208.smelb1.vic.optusnet.com.au)
07:50:31unknownhostI tried appending with - :/opt/sh/bin:/opt/m68k/bin:/opt/arm/bin
07:50:45unknownhostthen I tried replacing with - PATH=$PATH:$HOME/bin:/usr/sbin:/opt/sh/bin:/opt/m68k/bin:/opt/arm/bin
07:50:49Paul_The_NerdIt doesn't say to append it...
07:51:00Paul_The_NerdIt also doesn't say to replace it.
07:51:08unknownhostit says to add at the end of the line... isn't that append?
07:51:16unknownhost"Edit .bash_profile (found in your home directory) and add ":/opt/sh/bin:/opt/m68k/bin:/opt/arm/bin" (without the quotation marks) to the end of the line that says:"
07:51:27unknownhostPATH=$PATH:$HOME/bin:/usr/sbin
07:52:07unknownhost( in my install, the last line looks like: PATH=${HOME}/bin:${PATH} )
07:52:08Paul_The_NerdOh, it's changed slightly
07:52:50unknownhostnot sure what the curley brackets are all about.
07:53:02Paul_The_NerdCygwin has perhaps changed its format?
07:53:20unknownhostvars i guess for local install
07:53:23Paul_The_NerdAs it says, the path should've also automatically been set up when you installed the Cross Compilers from the Rockbox mirror.
07:53:45unknownhostanyone one else using cygwin with a path I could try?
07:54:04Paul_The_NerdThe one on the wiki worked in the past.
07:55:42Paul_The_NerdWhy not just scrap cygwin and try vmware?
07:56:31unknownhostkind of a lot of overhead for me... that's what I had going before. Cygwin seemed a little less bloated.
07:56:39unknownhostno services... etc...

11:15:20jhMikeSsafetydan: There's also the matter of writing directly to the vid chips instead of buffering first. Some chips can be made to produce overlays for OSD. Should videos have to be native screen size?
11:15:44safetydanwhich is going to vary from target to target
11:15:50safetydannative screen size is always going to be easiest
11:16:17 Quit MarcoPolo (Remote closed the connection)
11:16:19jhMikeSOf course, but it's been on my mind a lot and I figured a way to have it not matter.
11:16:55jhMikeSScaling is way too hard for most unless its simple integer ratios.
11:18:03safetydanSo what do you propose instead?
11:18:20jhMikeSInstead of what? Scaling? or buffering?
11:19:22safetydanscaling
11:19:27jhMikeSI propose a video and overlay API set plus a way of inlining the driver code into the codec. It only has to work with one display chip at a time.
11:19:51jhMikeSI'm guessing either integer sizes or forced native size.
11:20:12safetydanah, sorry thought you had some magical way to make non-integer scaling go fast :)
11:20:21jhMikeSHA!
11:20:29jhMikeSWell, yeah.
11:20:45jhMikeSThat too, its a periodic function.
11:21:30jhMikeSI don't know my codecs and I'm guessing a full decode is almost always nescessary.
11:22:16chendoergh
11:22:36jhMikeSIt's really always integer scaling unless you want nice soft interpolation.

11:28:39safetydanI'm probably wrong on the 33 count

11:33:07safetydanit's probably not too relevant to video support as only crazy people would probably want to watch much grainy grayscale video on a tiny screen :)
11:33:34jhMikeSIt's a hack then so the chip is not natively grayscale? You mean flip-flopping B&W to make different grays?
11:34:00safetydanpretty much

12:38:02jhMikeSI get about 18-20% boost for mp3.
12:38:22jhMikeSor maybe 15-20
12:39:56linuxstbjhMikeS: What do you mean by using overlays?
12:40:36jhMikeSThe LCD chip can hit about 132 FPS at boost with repacking 16->18 bit.
12:41:12jhMikeSlinuxstb: I mean having the codec write directly to the LCD. Compile the right bits of driver code directly into the codec.
12:41:41safetydanis the x5 not coldfire? the boost ratio for me on a h120 is nearly 0
12:41:55safetydanor is there something else going on?
12:42:19jhMikeSReally...I was using the EQ and all that and crossfeed
12:42:32jhMikeSIt's Coldfire, yes.
12:42:43safetydanah, no eq or crossfeed for me
12:43:42jhMikeSI want the full 18bit so the HW can dither it nicely.
12:44:34linuxstbjhMikeS: That sounds like a nasty hack. We have a lot of LCDs to support, and we would want it to work in the sim as well...
12:45:10JdGordon... and you can write straight to the lcd buffer anyway cant you?
12:45:15jhMikeSYou won't get the performance then. Definiely not with the framebuffer in DRAM.
12:45:39jhMikeSNo...you can't. lcd_blit is just for mono and gray I think
12:46:46linuxstbI'm not saying to use the existing LCD API, we definitely need to create a new high-performance one for video.
12:46:51jhMikeSBesides, you'd have to write to a buffer first which would kill it. Avoid that step if possible. It will take a lot of crafting but it may be worth it.
12:48:00linuxstbMPEG-1 for example decodes the video to YUV. Maybe we could implement something like lcd_blit_yuv() for each LCD that does an asm-optimised yuv to native framebuffer conversion, and writes that data directly to the LCD.
12:48:11jhMikeSThe craft is in doing it and NOT making it a nasty hack but consistent. A coded need only deal with one display chip.
12:49:30jhMikeSTake the YUV, covert it in registers and send it to the display, chopping off the lower 2 bits. Don't pack it first so it has to be repacked by the driver later either.
12:50:00linuxstbYes, that's what I mean.
12:50:38JdGordonis there really a need for this yet tho? i mean, the best video codec we have atm is 2fps without actually displaying anything
12:50:56jhMikeSJust send it to the display. Don't call a function or at least an inline one with the LCD write code.
12:51:02jhMikeS2fps??? On what?
12:51:05obocould always use huffyuv :)
12:51:08JdGordonh300 iirc
12:51:24jhMikeShuffyuv, what's that?
12:51:42oboa fairly simple loseless compression (huffman yuv I think)
12:52:09oboit's very fast, I think it's about 2.5:1 compression
12:52:21jhMikeSWhat codec for 2fps? Uncompressed video will not read off the HD fast enough.

12:54:21jhMikeS2.5:1 is still huge.
12:55:23safetydanjhMikeS, I believe it was xvid
12:56:02jhMikeSThat's supposed to be easy to decode, no?
12:56:19safetydanI wouldn't have thought so as it's based on MPEG4
12:56:58safetydannote that 2fps was literally just decoding the frames, not displaying anything
12:57:05safetydanthere's some detail here http://www.rockbox.org/irc/rockbox-20051219.txt
12:57:08safetydansearch for 2fps
12:57:20jhMikeSA consensus needs to be reached about which player actually get video.
12:57:43JdGordonprobaly only the ipod vid, if the broadcom chip is figured out
12:57:56JdGordonuntill the codec is optimized
12:58:09jhMikeSH300 LCD is pretty much the same to work with as X5.
12:58:13JdGordonif the OF can do 15fps on the h300 then we should be able to also
12:58:32JdGordoncpu is the limiting factor here.. not lcd..
12:58:40safetydanthere's no reason not to support all players
12:58:41jhMikeSX5 does 12 on OF with MPEG4
12:58:49safetydanit just might not go very fast on some of them

13:11:30amiconnjhMikeS: You cannot use the video overlay feature of the lcd controllers
13:11:44jhMikeSThat's not right. It should go to the next.
13:11:54jhMikeSamiconn: why not?
13:11:56JdGordonMikachu: just tried that, no it doesnt like you changing tracks
13:11:58amiconnIt would require cpu control for some of the lcd controller pins
13:12:41amiconnThe mode pins, to be precise
13:12:51jhMikeSThere not connected to anything?
13:13:21amiconnTheir wiring is fixed
13:13:25jhMikeSWell, I'm just talking about bypassing framebuffers and writing directly. Not chip modes.
13:13:43amiconnYou can do that, e.g. doom on H300 does it
13:13:48jhMikeSHD66773R doesn't have overlays
13:13:57jhMikeSHow much does it help?
13:13:59amiconnBut don't expect too much on other platforms
13:14:15jhMikeSThat's why your capabilities will vary
13:14:34amiconnThe HD66789R does have overlay, but we cannot use it
13:15:04jhMikeS66789 is a more powerful chip IIRC
13:15:35amiconnOn the low-depth platforms, the core has lcd_blit() to provide direct-writing to the controller without direct hardware access in the plugin itself
13:15:52amiconnThis is used in video.rock on archos, and for the grayscale library
13:15:54jhMikeSThat's such a bummer, just one trace of copper would change that
13:16:44amiconnI doubt that video overlay would help video performance much
13:16:54amiconnThe most demanding task is decoding
13:17:07jhMikeSAre the bus writes pretty much as fast as they can go?

13:27:31jhMikeSI'm kind of kidding...like in qm?
13:27:33amiconn...like flac)
13:29:10nudelynhow come flac decodes so fast? isn't flac a lossy codec + a lossless diff on top of that? is it really optimized, or is the lossy codec really simple?
13:29:29safetydannudelyn, I think you're thinking of wavpack
13:30:04safetydanflac is just lossless from the start
13:30:42jhMikeSFLAC uses prediction + diffs. The higher the comp the better it tries to fit it's predictors to the actual waveform, I believe.
13:30:43nudelynoh, i'm sure i read that flac was lossy+diff... maybe what i read was wrong
13:31:13jhMikeSIt uses Mid/Side stero too
13:32:01nudelyni guess it'd sound pretty awful without the diffs
13:32:36nudelyn(and/or still be large compared to mp3/ogg/etc)
13:32:53safetydanwavpack does alright in hybrid mode
13:33:04jhMikeSI'd like to hear that. It could be argued that the predictors are lossy becuase they are not perfect, hence the differ.

14:35:40aliaskhttp://www.rockbox.org/tracker/?getfile=12035 is what I have at the moment
14:37:36 Quit adiamas ("Chatzilla 0.9.75 [Firefox 1.5.0.4/2006050817]")
14:37:50aliaskThere's a flag in gui_synclist_init called "scroll_all" in the header file, but setting it true doesn't help, and on top of that text_editor sets it false, and has scrolling working.
14:38:00JdGordonrb->gui_synclist_init(&properties_lists, &get_props, file, false, 2); <- shouldnt that be get_props without the & ?
14:38:31aliaskPossibly, that part's stolen from the id3 function (yes, it's all stolen code)
14:38:51aliaskLet's see what happens.
14:39:23JdGordonalso, i think your supposed to actually copy the text into the buffer, and return the buffer
14:39:30JdGordonthat could be a problem also...
14:40:16JdGordonwhats your plugin do? looks interesting
14:41:27aliaskBasically at the moment it just gets the filesize
14:41:43aliaskI was supprised there was nowhere in rockbox that actually did it.
14:42:08*JdGordon wanted to do something like that for folders and files
14:43:11aliaskFolders might be a bit harder - I thought of your dirwalker function though.
14:43:36JdGordoni wanted to add it to stats, but havnt been bothred...
14:43:53aliaskWhat, pass stats a folder or something?
14:43:59JdGordonye, but you cant
14:44:03JdGordonso i havnt
14:44:05aliaskHeh.
14:44:20*JdGordon doesnt know if dirwalker will ever make it into cvs.. but it would make life easier
14:44:32aliaskDid it actually end up reducing code size?
14:44:58JdGordonna, tiny increase.. but i rekon its worth it.. coz it makes coding easier

14:47:05aliaskDon't you use torrentflux?
14:47:24aliaskOr did I see that somewhere else?
14:47:35JdGordoni did, but i havnt reinstalled it after format
14:48:12aliaskOnly thing it's missing is priorities... I started using it after seeing it on your server :)
14:48:21JdGordon:)
14:49:05aliaskDitching the & didn't help, but it didn't stop it working, and it saves 1 byte in the code, so out it stays
14:52:26JdGordonodd... i would havee thought that was a pointer error...
14:52:36JdGordontry actually copying the return strings into the buffer
14:52:55aliaskIn which function?

14:56:23aliaskYeah, sorry, stupid question :p
14:57:41JdGordonalso, you should cache the filesize.. because that will recheck it every time you move in the list, but the file will stay the same size so there is no point doing that
14:58:07aliaskI just noticed that then, wondering why it was lagging (just after boot) every keypress.

15:01:07aliaskOk, sticking that stuff in buffer didn't really do anything. I'm giving up for the night. School tomorrow.

15:26:05crwldo you mean something like ls | grep something
15:26:12lamedyepp
15:26:38lamedbut ls |grep something will cause grep to work on the filename, not on it's content.

19:35:57dionoeasounds great :) is it based on the work from "the other guy who's name i forgot" ?
19:36:21linuxstbBoth MPEG-1 and MPEG-2 seem to perform the same, which seems odd to me, but I don't know the details of what differs between the two.
19:36:42linuxstbNo. I took the same library he tried (libmpeg2) and ported it myself, rather than using his port.
19:36:50dionoeaok
19:37:25dionoeaif you need help on libmpeg2 you can ask sam and Meuuh on freenode. They're the current libmpeg2 mantainers
19:38:29dionoeaThey usually hang arround in #videolan
19:38:50linuxstbI'm just starting work with it. But I'm sure it's worth asking them for optimisation tips at some point. Although there are some functions with ASM versions for various platforms (X86, Sparc), so the obvious place to start would be ARM (and Coldfire) versions of those.
19:39:36midgey34dionoea: do you plan on changing the numbers in solitaire back into color or leaving them as black?
19:40:02dionoeai plan on changing those :)
19:40:17midgey34all right :)
19:42:02dionoeamidgey34: i was thinking about using stuff like http://www.jfitz.com/cards/ for color screens
19:42:08dionoeai don't know if it's a good idea though
19:42:16bmac2is there a way I can set my ipod to automatically choose rockbox on boot instead of the apple software? I have ipodlinux and the bootloader installed, and everything works great. Just when it shuts down, I have to manually choose rockbox
19:42:37midgey34oh those look nice
19:42:45bmac2is that a function of the ipodlinux boot loader?
19:43:01dionoeamidgey34: the only issue is finding out if they look good on really small screens :p
19:43:17linuxstbbmac2: Yes. You can use a config file to set a default firmware and a timeout - check the ipodlinux.org wiki.
19:43:19dionoeaand i think that i'll also move the card drawing routines to a plugin lib so that other plugins can use it
19:43:29bmac2ok linuxstb thanks
19:43:44midgey34well, I renamed the solitaire_numbers etc to card_*
19:44:05midgey34since they overlap in blackjack, but I used a different cardback
19:47:30dionoeamidgey34: i don't know when you last had a look at the solitaire source code, but i changed the display stuff quite a bit this week to have simple card drawing functions. The idea would be to have a lib exporting these card drawing functions (the plugins wouldn't have any knowledge of the graphics themselves)

19:54:42amiconnA new observation is that when starting with a fresh stack (at start of game or when "wrapping" around), you have to draw twice in order to see card(s) drawn
19:55:24amiconnWhat's interesting now is that the first draw actually draws a card, but this card is invisible(!)
19:55:31dionoeathat's weird. I'll fix it ... once my solitaire.c compiles again
19:56:04amiconnYou can put this card elsewhere if it matches, which causes the card to become visible
19:56:35amiconnIf this is possible and you put this invisible card away, the next drawn card is again invisible...
19:56:56dionoeacould you provide a simple key sequence so i can reproduce this ?

20:12:55Slasherithat new bootloader uses the eeprom memory
20:13:41Slasheriups, bootloader.iriver
20:14:51leftrightSlasheri, what are the advantages of this eeprom bootloader
20:15:47Slasherileftright: putting rockbox to flash makes bootup a little faster and it allows for example dircache and tagcache to be serialized on the disk, so the last state can be loaded immediately thus saving some battery on bootup
20:16:37Slasheriuusing the eeprom configuration memory makes it possible for bootloader and rockbox to communicate with each other
20:17:02leftrightthanks :)
20:17:14Slasheriso bootloader can tell for example if it's safe to assume the disk is still intact from changes
20:17:43crwlwhen doing a battery benchmark, should the headphones be connected? does it make a noticeable difference?
20:17:59leftrightso changes can be done to the bootloader from disk ?
20:18:51Slasherileftright: no, bootloader still needs to be flashed (it can be now updated inside rockbox)
20:19:05 Part bmac2 ("Leaving")
20:19:14leftrightah so no need to reflash it then ?
20:19:38linuxstbSlasheri: eb6204a140f7c1ee5e0b61135eab84f2 bootloader.iriver ?
20:19:41Slasherihmm, what do you mean with reflashing?
20:20:01Slasherilinuxstb: seems to be correct
20:21:06leftrightonce your botloader has been installed, future changes to bootloader can be done without reflashing with a new bootloader
20:21:49Slasherileftright: hmm, not really. bootloader always needs to be flashed if there is a need to upgrade it
20:22:00Slasheribut the flashing can be done inside a rockbox conviently
20:22:06Slasheri-a
20:22:20leftrightactually ignore me, i'm just shooting the breeze here, :>
20:22:26Slasherihehe :)
20:23:07linuxstbSlasheri: Seems to be working nicely.
20:23:19Slasherinice :) are you using dircache?
20:23:20amiconnlinuxstb: yes
20:23:27Slasheritry to boot twice
20:23:43Slasherithen you should see it's no more scanning the disk
20:24:40linuxstbamiconn: I'm testing it my libmpeg2 based video player - I wanted to ask you what the csub_x and csub_y parameters are for. It seems to work if I set them both to 2.
20:25:16Slasherilinuxstb: with current bootloader it's even possible to configure an eeprom setting so bootloader can load firmware by default either from disk or from flash
20:25:18amiconnThese parameters indicate the chroma subsampling
20:25:34Slasheribut i haven't added that "bootloader configuration" menu to rockbox yet
20:26:20Slasherii was even thinking that as we have plenty of flash, user could put two images in the flash. Other could be ram image and the other a ROM image
20:26:20amiconnu and v bitmaps can have a lower resolution than the luma bitmap
20:26:31linuxstbSlasheri: Could it somehow work automatically if the Rockbox version on disk is newer than the one in flash. And maybe the flashing plugin could set the "boot from flash" flag when it flashes a firmware.
20:26:49amiconnjpeg allows various combinations, so these parameters are variable
20:27:25Slasherilinuxstb: hmm, i don't know how to do that because bootloader has already gone when disk is still spinning up

20:28:30Slasherilinuxstb: but maybe rockbox could change that flag to boot from disk if it's found current flash image is older than the rockbox.iriver available on disk
20:28:47dionoeaerr ... 4:2:0 sorry
20:28:52Slasherihowever, .iriver -files don't have a version flag included
20:29:30leftrightSlasheri: I delete songs frequently from albums and resync often with my pc, will that cope
20:30:09Slasherileftright: yes, that is why eeprom support is necessary so even if you use bootloader usb mode, rockbox will know that you have used it
20:30:21Slasheribecause now bootloader and rockbox can communicate
20:31:13linuxstbamiconn: My MPEG test files are 224x176, and the chroma bitmap seems to be 112x88. So am I right in thinking csub_x and csub_y should both be 2? (it at least looks like it's working)

20:39:02peturwas in some test build directory which I cleaned up some time ago... grrrr
20:39:07Slasherihmm, but the H300 version was a bit different with hardware I2C-bus?
20:39:23Slasheriwith H100 that bus was implemented by software
20:40:01peturafaik it's on the same bus as the pcf
20:40:14Slasheriand the H300 has also bigger chip (more than 128 bytes)
20:40:24Slasheriok, so it needs a different driver then
20:40:44 Quit barrywardell ()
20:41:01Slasheribut maybe you can get some clue from the working eeprom code and the pcf driver
20:41:18Slasherijust combine those and basic single byte read/write operations should work :)
20:41:32Slasherii haven't yet implemented page write / sequential read for better performance

22:01:33linuxstbMy test file is now playing at around 11.3fps. If I disable the actual display of the frames (the yuv2rgb conversion, and copying to the framebuffer), then it's running at 20fps. So I guess that makes it a bottleneck...
22:03:28dionoeawhat's the ipod's LCD's max framerate atm ?
22:03:36linuxstbSo I think an asm optimised "yuv_blit" function which does the conversion from yuv2rgb and writes the data directly to the lcd hardware is the way to go.
22:03:44*petur whispers a little w00t

22:57:27amiconnI would try to stay away from 18bit though. More data for little benefit, plus either alignment problems or even more data
22:57:28SpidaBagder: misticriver.net doesn't resolve for me

22:58:53amiconnHmm.
22:59:30amiconnlinuxstb: A related question that came to mind - do you think it would be useful to add a little on-the-fly processing to the color ipod lcd updates as well?
22:59:51amiconnThen we coul duse the standard RGB565, and the lcd update would do the byte swap
23:00
23:00:12amiconnBut unlike the X5, it means a slight performance hit
23:00:52linuxstbMaybe it wouldn't be a performance hit - the lcd_update() function seems to need to wait after performing each write.

23:01:24linuxstbBger: Uploading...
23:01:27Bgerah, k
23:01:27amiconnlinuxstb: The question is whether it would be enough of an advantage to have the standard RGB565 on ipod
23:01:30linuxstbETA 3 minutes.
23:02:11amiconnFor the lcd drawing code it makes no difference at all
23:03:12amiconnX5 is a different story; for half-decent performance it would be necessary to make fb_data 32bit in order to use 18bit colour, and even then it woould only be pseudo-18bit
23:04:48linuxstbI can't think of any immediate advantage - LCD_RGBPACK doesn't seem to be called that frequently.

23:09:41amiconnHwcodec (archos) already does have video support, uncompressed b&w frames using temporal dithering to produce greyscale, and mp3 audio decoded by the hwcodec as normal
23:09:50BgerBUGS
23:09:50Bger Don't panic. If you find one, report it to us, <= haha
23:10:04linuxstbsankao: I didn't think ldrd/strd was supported on arm7 - it's an Architecture 5 extension
23:10:28sankaoreally ?
23:10:36linuxstbarm7tdmi is ARMv4
23:10:47linuxstb(iirc)
23:10:57amiconnThe data rate needed for this is low enough to make compression unnecessary (480kbps for the video plus the mp2/mp3 audio track which can use all possible mp2/mp3 parameter combinations
23:11:03sankaoit comes from disassembled binary code of the sansa firmware
23:11:27linuxstbAre you sure it's actual code? i.e. not data, and not thumb code?
23:11:39sankaoI thought it was arm7 asm, but I have few knowledge of asm
23:11:51sankaocould be data
23:12:56sankaoit comes just before what the hex editor sees as ASCII
23:13:52amiconnlinuxstb: LCD_RGBPACK for constants doesn't matter at all - all the constant folding is done at compile time. There are even fewer (if any) places which use LCD_RGBPACK() with variables
23:14:06*Bger is silly
23:14:22Bgerbmp viewer didn't like this video :D
23:14:40midgey34linuxstb: what is the line supposed to be in viewers.config?
23:14:40midgey34m2v,rocks/mpegplayer,00 00 00 00 00 00 is what I have
23:14:49linuxstbYes, that will be fine.
23:15:36linuxstbamiconn: Yes, that's what I mean. pacbox uses it with variables, but only at init-time to create a lookup table based on palette data in the ROMs.
23:15:41dionoeahum ... "Undefined instruction at 01FEADC4" :)
23:15:41jhMikeSamiconn: sorry. wasn't here. I'm busy at the moment.
23:15:51Bgershitty OF
23:16:01*petur reads eeprom on his h340
23:16:30*amiconn is still trying to get his head around arm asm :/
23:17:00peturSlasheri: the pcf driver didn't like the state you left the lines in after calling your driver
23:17:35amiconnpetur: Why 2 drivers?
23:17:37Bgerlinuxstb: hm
23:17:46linuxstbBg3r: hm?
23:17:51Bgerruns and exits
23:17:58Bgerafter 2-3 secs
23:18:09Bgerblack screen
23:18:15peturamiconn: will merge... wa just testing with Slasheri's code for now
23:18:15linuxstbIs that with your file, or mine?
23:18:41Bgeryour
23:19:12linuxstbBger: It first of all fills a 25MB file with the input file, and then decodes it. So it seems to be exiting when it starts to decode it...
23:19:21midgey34dionoea: I have a a patch for color numbers in solitaire if you're interested
23:19:37dionoeamidgey34: sure :) i won't have time to look at it now though
23:19:54Bgermidgey34: what happens on your side ?
23:20:35midgey34eh, I can't get it to show up in the open with.. menu
23:20:46midgey34nothing after mp3_encoder is shown
23:21:01dionoea"Undefined instruction at 01FEADC4" here on video ipod :/ (if anybody cares :p )
23:21:44linuxstbmidgey34: Did you add it to the viewers.config file in apps/plugins/, or the version on your player?
23:21:53peturamiconn: my initial code (lost) used part of the pcf driver but didn't work ok. So I first want to use the separate driver and verify the eeprom
23:21:59dionoeacompiling it with -Os it now shows a white screen
23:22:05dionoeais that expected ?
23:22:34Bgerit should be black
23:22:42Bger rb->lcd_set_foreground(LCD_WHITE);
23:22:42Bger rb->lcd_set_background(LCD_BLACK);
23:22:42Bger rb->lcd_clear_display();
23:22:42DBUGEnqueued KICK Bger
23:22:42Bger rb->lcd_update();
23:22:46dionoeait was black for like 10 seconds and it's now white
23:23:05Bgerhah, it seems you went further than me
23:23:13dionoea:)
23:23:24dionoeai'll now try getting colors :D
23:23:31 Part blackvd

23:24:23dionoeamidgey34: thanks
23:24:29midgey34no problem

23:25:01mynimalI'm having quite a bit of trouble.
23:25:14CtcpIgnored 1 channel CTCP requests in 0 seconds at the last flood
23:25:14*Bger will go to bed
23:25:58mynimalBasically, I'm stuck in an infinite loop.
23:26:31mynimalIt's repeating "Rockbox error: -1" and "Loading original firmware..."
23:26:38Paul_The_Nerdmynimal: And then it reboots again?
23:26:39mynimalI'm assuming the iPod is pretty much screwed.
23:26:44Paul_The_NerdDo you have a 5G?
23:26:46mynimalNope, it's just in that loop.
23:26:51mynimalI have a 60GB iPod Photo.
23:26:54Paul_The_NerdHm
23:26:56Paul_The_NerdWell, anyway
23:26:59Paul_The_NerdHold Menu+Select
23:27:05Paul_The_NerdAs SOON as the screen clears, hold Play+Select
23:27:11Paul_The_NerdIf you do it right, it will go into disk mode.
23:27:20Paul_The_NerdExtract a daily build onto the player, and it'll be fine.
23:27:39mynimalOh, great, thanks. I must have been pressing the wrong key combination.
23:27:52mynimalThanks a lot, saved me $300 haha
23:28:10Paul_The_NerdThe iPod is pretty much always recoverable.
23:29:15amiconnHmm, bad. ARM effecively has one register less than sh or coldfire
23:30:01 Quit mynimal ("CGI:IRC (EOF)")
