00:02:02*JdGordon hates it..
00:02:24JdGordonthe difference is, sunset at the hieght of summer is 9pm here without DST, 10pm is just rediculous

01:22:21MadkissI unzipped them directly
01:22:40JdGordoncan sometry try getting into th pitch screen from the wps on the recorder? on+up or down) and lemme know if it works?

02:02:17SoapDavide-NYC - I'm familiar with ephpod, but never used it. sharepod allows you to create directories/filenames based on the tags just like a good tagger.
02:02:26Davide-NYCsweetness
02:02:33Davide-NYCthat is much better than ephosd
02:02:35Genre9mp3Madkiss: Album-art is not supported by rockbox (at least yet)... you need to use the Album art patch for that
02:02:36Davide-NYC*ephod
02:03:54Soapif he was going to dual-boot Rockbox/Apple and use tagcache, sharepod is what I would use. Sub-1MB, and can reside on the ipod gives you /almost/ the same functionality as the drag-and-drop joy that is a RockBoxed Apple-free Ipod

02:12:39Madkisshow do I fix "tagcache is not ready"?
02:14:21linuxstbPlatyna: Somewhere in the main menu (I forget exactly where), there is a "Browse fonts" option that lets you choose different fonts - assuming you downloaded and unzipped the fonts zip file when you first installed Rockbox.
02:15:09Genre9mp3Madkiss: have you initialized the Tagcache?

02:23:41Platynalinuxstb: Well, I think it is not font problem but resolution problem...
02:24:10PlatynaHow can I change resolution? All letters are very small and that "desktop" not takes whole screen space.
02:24:43linuxstbYou choose a different sized font.
02:25:22PlatynaIf I do theme gets broken.
02:25:52PlatynaAnd I have 2 mm black "borders" by each side of screen.
02:25:57linuxstbThen you will need to use a different theme - one based on a bigger font.
02:26:08PlatynaSee above.
02:26:42PlatynaI have screen alot smaller than iPod's display.
02:27:44PlatynaAnd I don't know what do do about it.
02:28:33pixelmahave you tried another bigger font as linuxstb suggested and seen how it looks like....
02:28:40linuxstbI don't understand what you mean. The small black borders are normal - at least, I get them on my 5g.
02:29:11Platynapixelma: It is NOT a font issue.
02:29:19PlatynaWhat has font to screen resolution?

02:36:20linuxstbPlatyna: I'm just reinstalling the Apple firmware on my 5g now, to compare with Rockbox. I never use it, so wouldn't have noticed if the display looks different...
02:37:06linuxstbBut in the emergency disk mode (the "Do not disconnect" screen), which is also Apple's software, the white background takes up the same area as it does in Rockbox.
02:37:07Mikachumy friends brother has an ipod video, i noticed the firmware now lets you set brightness
02:37:16amiconnMikachu: Even without priority scheduling it doesn't run the old code
02:37:27Mikachuamiconn: okay, i haven't actually looked at it
02:37:35amiconn(but it does run the same code as on archos, where it does work)

03:42:27myzari'd do it, but i want to see more progress first
03:42:32myzari have an 80 =p

03:42:59myzarKalthare, you don't think there's a way to get in touch with an engineer from toshiba
03:43:06myzarand ask them the differences between the 30 gigs
03:43:13myzarand the new drives they made for the 80s
03:43:16myzardo you?
03:43:32myzarMK8007GAH is the model, i'm reading up on it online
03:43:41KalthareI'll put up the new patch as soon as I'm done putting it together. I'll say, tho, that I haven't done anything that's likely to fix the problem on the 80.
03:43:54Kaltharemyzar: I'm not exactly an expert on ATA programming.
03:44:00myzaroh, me neither
03:44:18myzari'm trying to figure out how to assist the coders
03:44:25myzarbut i'm afraid i wouldn't use C++

03:45:08myzarcould it be the perpendicular recording, Kalthare?

03:45:27Kaltharemyzar: I don't even know what that is.
03:45:44PaulJamaren't the 30 and 60 gb drives perpendicular too?

03:50:55myzarsomebody tried to debug it
03:50:57myzarthey may be wrong
03:51:11sneakumsi tried to debug it

03:53:34myzaror something
03:53:36godzirraBut why couldnt they do that before?
03:53:41sneakumsso it hangs after ata_init(), not during

03:53:50Mikachuhow do they get the read head to different depths?
03:53:55myzarit's sleeping
03:54:12myzarwhy is it resetting, though?
03:54:19sneakumslinuxstb: here is the post: http://www.rockbox.org/mail/archive/rockbox-dev-archive-2006-10/0014.shtml
03:54:34sneakumsmyzar: because ATA_STATUS was set to STATUS_ERR
03:54:37 Part Platyna ("Live Free Or Die!")
03:54:55myzarno, sneakums
03:54:57myzarthat just says it's an error
03:55:04myzarif it's hanging in sleep
03:55:17myzarthat probably means it's done reading (or trying to read)
03:55:18tonpeople could anyone make a port for creative zen vision m
03:55:18sneakumsyes, and then rockbox calls perform_soft_reset()
03:55:21myzarand it has slowed down
03:55:22tonso manyt people have it
03:55:27myzarthe drive physically has slowed down
03:55:29myzarwhich is sleep mode
03:55:33myzarit isn't spinning at full rpm
03:55:44godzirraKalthare: so whats the issue with music?
03:55:46myzarthe reason, godzirra
03:55:55tonso could anyone
03:55:55sneakumsthe sleep function it's hanging in is the one that's called when rockbx wants to *gasp* sleep
03:56:00myzaris because the more energy it takes to read the drive
03:56:00Mikachuton: if someone wants to do it, they'll do it.
03:56:03Mikachuton: it's a lot of work
03:56:09myzarthe more of a chance it can mess up the magnetization
03:56:26sneakumsthere seems to be an unrelated problem with using sleep in the bootloader, since udelay() works fine
03:56:26myzarand that's proportionate to the size of the magnetic region
03:56:28toni know its alot of work
03:56:32Kaltharegodzirra: I wish I knew. My guess at this point is that the longer disk accesses is making some part of the code, somewhere, unhappy.
03:56:40myzarso instead of making drives bigger
03:56:45myzarthey add a layer
03:56:49myzarand stack the data
03:57:01myzarthey wanted to do this with floppy disks years ago
03:57:06myzarand make an even bigger disk
03:57:24myzarbut 20 years later, they decided to lower costs of hard drives by applying this instead
03:57:53sneakumsthere are sheer physical limits to how fast you can seek a disk head and get it in position too

03:58:36tony bit
03:58:36myzarand your data will go poof at that point
03:58:40Willguys - what is the best way to boot into Apple firmware - seems a bit hit and miss to me
03:58:40webguest14hello?
03:58:43linuxstbsneakums: Yes, I don't think sleep() should be used in the bootloader. We don't have interrupts enabled, so if Rockbox sleeps, it won't wake up.
03:58:55myzartry opening up a drive as it's spinning at full speed and see if you can still read the data
03:59:01MikachuWill: you'll get the hang of it after a while
03:59:14myzarlinuxstb, that's a valid hypothosis
03:59:26Willwhen is the perfect time to hit menu to get into apple firmware?
03:59:27webguest14i keep getting the -1 error message on my boot up
03:59:29linuxstbWill: It's in the FAQ - turn Rockbox off by a long press on PLAY, then press MENU to turn your ipod back on, and keep your finger pressed on MENU (never release or move it) until you see "Loading original firmware".
03:59:35myzarit shouldn't be sleeping in the bootloader, and there is no code to help it sleep if it does
03:59:40MikachuWill: just around the time the apple shows up
03:59:40sneakumslinuxstb: i replaced the sleep calls with udelay calls, and the soft reset completes, but it doesn't help
03:59:54myzarsneakums
03:59:55webguest14i geuss ill wait my turn then lol
03:59:56MikachuWill: if you have it turned of and just press release and hold like linuxstb said, it should work
04:00
04:00:01myzarthe question is why is it soft resetting?
04:00:03myzarthe 30 doesn't. does it?
04:00:05Willthanks guys
04:00:10myzarthe 60 from 5gs doesn't as well
04:00:17myzarnone of the previous generations do a reset
04:01:30Willis there any way to have a menu at beginning to choose firmware to load?
04:01:40webguest14OK i have windows xp an a 30gigabit 5g ipod i downloaded everything correctly up until i tryed to install the firmware everything was fine until i downloaded the fonts build for the video ipod how an where do i extract it?
04:02:05Willhttp://louhi.kempele.fi/~skyostil/projects/albumart/ <−− great program for getting album art if you are interested..
04:02:18sneakumsmyzar: actually, the question is why the status is set to STATUS_ERR after the read. i know why it's resetting: it's because that's what ATA code does in that circumstance.
04:02:21MikachuWill: you can use the ipodlinux bootloader
04:02:21PaulJamWill: you could use the ipodloader2 from ipodlinux. this has afaik a graphic menu
04:02:40myzarthat is another path as well, sneakums
04:02:42Willis it a hard one to install?

04:20:14PaulJamthis is just a wild guess, but could it have smething to do that the 30 GB drives support ATA 2 to 6 and the 80 GB drives only ATA 3 to 6 , so that the 80 GB ipods have a different hardware?

05:13:08myzarthat would need to be in apple's firmware itself
05:13:23myzarthey can't put that into the drive and state that if the accesses take longer, it outputs an error
05:13:43myzarit's a possibility, but...
05:13:56myzari doubt it
05:14:07myzartake an example of reading a large large music file
05:14:12myzarit accesses longer than smaller ones
05:14:14myzarit can read it fine
05:14:45KalthareI'm talking about the playback crash on the 30GB model.
05:15:07myzaroh, i was tieing in the 80
05:15:21myzari'm not sure how the apple firmware is handled when rockbox runs physically
05:15:47KalthareThe problem with the 80 is a wholly different issue.
05:15:48myzarcould it be a caching problem?
05:15:57myzaryes, but when we fix the 80
05:16:02myzarwe'll probably get a playback crash as well
05:16:20Paul_the_Nerdmyzar: When Rockbox is running, the Apple firmware is uninvolved.
05:16:33myzarcompletly?
05:16:48Paul_the_NerdRockbox is a replacement firmware.
05:16:58Paul_the_NerdIt's not a modification of existing firmware.
05:16:58 Quit Moos ("CGI:IRC (EOF)")

05:18:02KaltharePaul_the_Nerd: Any thoughts on my question?
05:18:08myzarnot at all
05:18:18myzaryou can still get data or information from calls from something else
05:18:22myzaras an example, at least
05:18:29myzarthen it has nothing to do with the firmware
05:18:40myzarit's a change in the hardware, probably the drive
05:18:56myzarand from what we can tell from the debug, it's after ata_init
05:18:59myzaris that correct, Kalthare?
05:19:03Paul_the_Nerdmyzar: When someone says "using" a part of something, that assumes accessing or executing it, not just learning from it via reverse engineering or whatnot.
05:19:21myzarwell, not when i "use" a part of something
05:19:30myzari say this because i've used that term for almost a decade

05:20:04Paul_the_NerdBecause it's a little hard to use something that's not there, right?
05:20:06myzarthank you for speaking down to me Paul_the_Nerd
05:20:31Paul_the_Nerdmyzar: I'm explaining the way a lot of terms are interpreted around here, because common ground on terms is essential for clear communication.
05:20:52myzari use terms quite differently, because of the work in the past
05:20:54myzarthat i have done
05:21:33myzari'm not exactly sure how the IPod works seperate from their firmware and the harddrive it runs
05:21:41Paul_the_NerdWhere a software can "use" something without actually using it, but rather by having its programmers learn from that something and reimplement similar or identical things?
05:22:00myzari never mentioned reverse engineering
05:22:04myzari'm not sure how the firmware works
05:22:05Paul_the_NerdEven if the terms mean something different for you overall, it's important to either use them how other people here will understand them, or clarify what is meant.
05:22:13myzarfor all i know, you can be running rockbox alongside the official firmware

05:22:27Paul_the_NerdI said that in my first thing to you
05:22:34Paul_the_NerdYou can't *replace* something and still be dependent upon it.
05:22:40myzarfalse.
05:22:55Paul_the_NerdReplacing something means substituting for it
05:23:01Paul_the_NerdMeans that the original would not be there in a true replacement
05:23:06Paul_the_NerdMeans you *can't* depend on it because it's not there
05:23:12myzarnobody said it has to be a *TRUE* replacement either
05:23:17Paul_the_NerdIt's the very definition of the word "replacement"
05:23:22version7I need a simple question answered? will the rockbox firmware allow navigation of the ipod on a external screen such as a tv?
05:23:34Paul_the_Nerdmyzar: So, you assumed that I misused the word replacement?
05:23:34myzari'm sorry Paul_the_Nerd, but we aren't speaking in definitions
05:23:41myzardid i say you misused it?
05:23:44Paul_the_NerdWe're speaking English.
05:23:53myzarno, we're actually typing english
05:23:54Paul_the_NerdYou said "nobody" said it had to be a "true" replacement
05:24:03Paul_the_NerdTrue, we are typing English.
05:24:08myzaryou mentioned that would be a TRUE replacement
05:24:16PaulJamversion7: I don't think the tv out on the g5 works yet
05:24:21Paul_the_NerdNo, I said Rockbox was a replacement firmware.
05:24:26version7this is for a ipod photo
05:24:31myzarand i mentioned that there are plenty of instances where something can replace something else and still use things from the old one
05:24:34Paul_the_NerdI used the word replacement as its true definition.
05:24:36myzari'm not arguing that
05:24:43myzari didn't know it was a full replacement
05:24:52Paul_the_NerdEven though I told you it was, completely clearly
05:25:12myzaryou can tell me whatever you want
05:25:12Paul_the_NerdWhich means you either assumed that I didn't know what I was talking about, or that I misused the word.
05:25:19myzari can still selectively choose to argue or believe it
05:25:26myzarto see how long of an argument i can pull out here
05:25:44Paul_the_NerdRockbox is a replacement firmware in the true sense of the word.
05:25:51myzarthanks for the info, Paul_the_Nerd.
05:26:11myzarbut you missed one point i made before
05:26:18Paul_the_NerdThis is why the developers are extremely hesitant to implement the current dual boot method that has been created for the X5, because it requires a dependency on the original firmware.
05:26:21myzarsince i don't know the schema of an ipod
05:26:35myzari am probably referring to the firmware improperly
05:26:45myzari am trying to figure out what can regulate how rockbox works
05:26:49myzarindependent to the firmware itself
05:27:10myzarwhat would cause the ipod to reset and crash, for instance
05:27:10Paul_the_NerdSo, you want something other than Rockbox to regulate Rockbox?
05:27:30myzarit doesn't have to only be rockbox
05:27:38myzari'm figuring out why the damn thing crashes on playback
05:27:44Paul_the_NerdMany things could cause it to crash, like unaligned memory accesses or hardware not being initialized or used properly.
05:27:46myzarand since firmware is eliminated...
05:27:56Paul_the_NerdHow is Rockbox eliminated?
05:28:18myzari meant the apple firmware.
05:28:21myzarnot rockbox.
05:28:40Paul_the_NerdWell it's a pretty important distinction to breeze over.
05:28:52myzari've been referring to apple's firmware as firmware
05:28:57myzarand rockbox as the alternate firmware
05:28:59myzarthis whole discussion
05:29:20Paul_the_NerdWell, try to use the terms everyone else does.
05:29:40Paul_the_NerdThere are many names for the original firmware that aren't vague like "firmware"
05:29:54myzari'm sorry, i rarely conform to the majority
05:30:02myzarbecause i speak for myself, not for the understanding of others
05:30:15Paul_the_NerdKalthare: Do we actually *know* that all the hardware inside the 5.5G is the same, or are we assuming it is because it works mostly the same?
05:30:41Paul_the_Nerdmyzar: Well, if you want to speak *with* someone, you have to speak in a way they understand. This is why language exists.
05:30:56Paul_the_Nerdmyzar: If you feel the desire to continue speaking solely for yourself, feel free to take it to PMs
05:31:12KaltharePaul_the_Nerd: We've at least sight-verified the PP chip to be the same.
05:32:40Paul_the_NerdKalthare: I'm just wondering about the distinction Apple is making with the Search function, and wonder if there's something else that's been missed, or if they're honestly just lying about the old ones being too slow. Because if there is a hardware difference, it could be relevant, right?
05:33:03myzarPaul_the_Nerd: I would assume you understand what I say, unless you aren't qualified to speak on the topic we are discussing
05:33:22myzarand at that point, you could ask what i mean, if you have any questions as to the validity or definition of a term or phrase i say
05:33:51KaltharePaul_the_Nerd: It might be the cause of all this 2K-sector insanity. The fps-test came out exactly the same as the 5G.
05:34:32Paul_the_Nerdmyzar: I did question it. And I've now suggested to you that you use the accepted terms for this channel
05:35:43myzarPaul_the_Nerd: Very well. Your point has been taken.

05:44:04KaltharePaul_the_Nerd: It crashes while closing /.rockbox/.playlist_control after writing it. Specifically, it seems to be crashing partway thru the copy_read_sectors() loop reading the /.rockbox directory, so as to update the file size.
05:44:51Paul_the_NerdKalthare: I'm guessing you've tried other file writes too and gotten freezes as well?
05:45:30KaltharePaul_the_Nerd: No. It updates the tag cache with no problem. Doom can save and load without a hitch. It passes all the tests in firmware/test/fat/.
05:47:09Paul_the_NerdKalthare: So it would seem dependent about what else was happening on the same time, you're right.
05:47:28KaltharePaul_the_Nerd: I'm thinking it's playback.
05:48:12Paul_the_NerdAnd you can't get playback started to try another write during it?
05:48:51Paul_the_NerdBecause it freezes during that... =/
05:50:12KalthareMaybe I'll neuter the function that's writing .playlist_control.
05:51:00Paul_the_NerdKalthare: Maybe try that, then do another file write during playback and see if it's related to that function, playback, or some unholy combination of the two.

06:01:02KalthareI'll be a bit, tho. The old version of my patch caused nasty FS corruption −− and an intermediate version that I didn't post caused much, much worse corruption. So I need to reformat my iPod.
06:01:16Paul_the_NerdAaah
06:01:19Paul_the_NerdEep
06:02:31KalthareWell, actually.. which, would you say, is worse? Writing FAT updates to the wrong location on the drive, or writing only the first quarter of each updated sector of the FAT?
06:03:23Paul_the_NerdThat's a tough call.
06:03:33Paul_the_NerdI think they're both bad enough.
06:04:35KalthareLuckily, the new version does neither of these things. :)

10:52:29pondlifeThere was a mod "Do not use our simple snprintf in simulator, because ALSA library requires a more advanced one. Fixes the problem with ALSA on Linux."
10:52:43 Quit JdGordon ("Konversation terminated!")
10:52:43pondlifeBut it breaks the sim logging here (Cygwin)
10:52:53Bagderoh
10:53:07pondlifeSurely the sim should be able to use our code as much as possible too.
10:53:28Bagderyeah, but alsa clearly needs a better snprintf than what we provide
10:53:49BagderI guess the proper fix would be to modify the check to only be used on linux
10:54:02pondlifeDoesn't SDL take care of the differences?
10:54:19Bagderthen you wouldn't have any problems ;-)
10:54:21pondlifeSorry, I'm lacking in cluefulness on this
10:54:39pondlifeIt seems odd that ALSA would be relying on our code.
10:54:44BagderI believe ALSA is what needs the snprintf and alsa is not used on windows/cygwin
10:54:56Bagderyeah, but it does/did
10:55:09Bagderit could of course possibly be fixed in a different way to have
10:55:15pondlifeCallbacks, I guess..
10:55:17Bagderit use the libc snprintf for alsa
10:55:37pondlifeOK - what's a good #ifdef to detect Linux vs Cygwin?
10:56:03pondlifePreferably one already used in Rockbox.
10:56:27BagderI believe "linux" and "__linux" are defined when building for linux
10:56:57pondlifeAnd Cygwin doesn't emulate that?
10:57:04Bagderno, cygwin is not linux

11:09:10Bagderwell, I was pondering to do a 'scp' of all possible .maps and make a zip out of them locally or similar
11:10:40dan_aOr you could have the maps added in to the rockbox.zip file by the build system?

11:13:42pondlifeIf I use Tagcache to play all tracks, while it's building the playlist (displaying Searching...), it now counts downwards, as if the playlist is getting smaller/filtered. Is this right?

11:14:48Slasheripondlife: at first when it searches from tagcache, it counts upwards and after that downwards
11:15:02Slasherioriginally that was a bug but i think it could be a nice feature
11:15:12*pondlife disagrees or doesn't understand
11:15:20pondlifeTo me it looks like it's started to filter
11:15:37pondlifeI actually end up with a playlist of 11000 entries, so why count down?
11:15:37Slasheribecause when it inserts tracks to playlist, you can see how many tracks there are left to be processed
11:15:48Slasheriin fact i think the playlist system is quite slow..
11:15:59Slasheritagcache is way faster than playlist could handle
11:16:11pondlifeGotcha. Maybe the prompt shouldn't be "Searching..." but "Left to queue" or something?
11:16:28 Quit barrywardell (Client Quit)
11:16:28Slasheriyep, true
11:17:03pondlifeAny idea which code is making playlist handling slow?
11:17:04Slasheriat first it's searching when tagcache finds the entries.. but that's usually quite fast that you don't even see that
11:17:16pondlifeIndeed. Or only for 2 seconds.
11:17:29pondlifeThe bulk of time is this countdown, can take quite a while
11:17:49pondlifeIs it doing lots of inserts, rather than appends or something?
11:18:03Slasheriyeah, lots of inserts
11:18:15Slasheriit needs to insert each track individually
11:18:33pondlifeInitial build could be much faster then
11:19:08Slasheritrue.. it could start playback and process in background
11:19:27pondlifeNice. Play once the first entry is queued
11:19:51Slasheribut that needs some investigation how to do it
11:20:48Slasheriamiconn: not yet, i will check from logs soon
11:20:48 Quit sublimal (Read error: 104 (Connection reset by peer))
11:20:49pondlifeCould cause a problem if the user attempts playlist maintenance whilst it's still doing the initial build
11:21:23Slasheriyep, that is one potential problem at least
11:21:45Slasherior it could start playback in background while still waiting until all entries have been added to the playlist
11:22:08pondlifeSo you'd hear music but not have the WPS?
11:22:24 Join Genre9mp3 [0] (n=yngwiejo@88.218.17.158)
11:22:27pondlifeOr have a splash over the WPS?
11:23:02Slasherimaybe.. but then we probably would have to put wps in a separate thread
11:23:12pondlifeUrgh.
11:23:51pondlifeI think we could just speed it up for now. That should be safe and there should be plenty of room for improvement by the look of it.
11:24:05Slasheribecause when wps is shown, wps likes to take over all control from main thread
11:24:44Slasheritrue.. there must be some way to optimize playlist code in performance
11:25:09pondlifeMaybe a fast Tagcache->playlist interface?
11:25:38Slasheriprobably.. i wonder if hardeep has anything in mind
11:25:40pondlifeOr are there other cases that are slow

13:01:01Slasherihmm, it seems that it's possible to create a playlist of like 4000 files under 2s if there is a better tagcache <-> playlist interface and dircache is used
13:01:34LinusNwhere is the bottleneck?
13:02:27Slashericurrently it seems that update_control() -function inside playlist.c takes all power
13:03:02Slasheriand currently it's not possible to cache entries containing filenames because that data is lost
13:03:27Slasheribut if tagcache could provide direct dircache pointers to playlist, then it would be very fast and that would be cacheable

14:57:49amiconnBitmap display is never fast enough
14:58:30amiconnRockbox generally stores native bitmaps in framebuffer format
14:58:37jhMikeSnothings ever fast enough :)
14:58:57amiconnThis is both fast and KISS

15:00
15:00:43 Quit matsl (Remote closed the connection)
15:00:44jhMikeSIt would be very simple. Color bitmaps would have just a pointer as the first data...if NULL: native format, if non-NULL: pointer to palette and 8-bit format. No new functions exposed.
15:01:19*amiconn dislikes much of the artifial complexity introduced recently :/

15:14:13jhMikeSKeep it for more useful things. Was glad I was able to save some IRAM of late too but that's more precious.
15:14:43LinusNiram is a different thing, of course
15:16:45jhMikeSI was suprise that using 18-bit didn't kill things that bad. Only lost 3fps on updates even with a 32-bit frame buffer. This was just "research" of course. I ain't plugging to use it cause it actually looks worse.
15:16:48Paul_the_NerdI think it's unneeded complexity too.
15:17:22Paul_the_NerdCompressed image drawing is almost surely going to work its way in at some point, I'd guess, especially as people try for more and more graphical / skinnable UIs.
15:17:38LinusNthere is one slight advantage of a paletted format, and that would be that all color platforms would have the same image format
15:17:46jhMikeSComplexity. Not to be critical but I find it strange to call that "complex".
15:18:30LinusNjhMikeS: not complex, but *more* complex than the native format
15:18:32Paul_the_NerdjhMikeS: Anything added to Rockbox at all qualifies as "additional complexity" though. ;)

15:21:55rigelits annoying as fuck all
15:22:09LinusNoh, *that* annoying? :-)
15:22:22barrywardellLinusN: the battery level still reads kinda ok, but maybe a bit low
15:22:34LinusNbarrywardell: i'm just teasing you
15:22:46barrywardellhaha
15:23:10LinusNbarrywardell: i think we should look into implementing such a feature
15:23:12JdGordonPaul_the_Nerd: its been going for 90min and the batt is still @ 90%.. so the guy definatly is over-exagurating.. or has a dead batt
15:23:40Paul_the_NerdJdGordon: Gotcha.
15:23:43jhMikeSrrr Connection bit it...
15:23:46JdGordonis it possible to change the cvs shortcuts? why is maual/ being downloaded with rockbox-devel?
15:23:54barrywardellLinusN: would it be reasonable to have it shut down once the battery gets below battery_level_dangerous?
15:24:23LinusNbarrywardell: i think so
15:24:44LinusNbarrywardell: the problem is what to do with the settings and resume info
15:24:55jhMikeSI was talking about two formats simultaneously and no, all format wouldn't be the same (in principle) because the palette would still have native color. But I'll stop beating a dead horse. :P
15:25:16barrywardellonce the battery gets below battery_level_dangerous, then disk writes don't happen anyway, do they?
15:25:30barrywardellso settings haven't been saved in that case anyway?
15:25:48Paul_the_Nerdbarrywardell: In theory a user can plug in without shutting down and losing anything though, right?
15:26:31barrywardellhmm, true
15:26:52Paul_the_NerdMaybe an option for "Low Battery" with a choice like "Warn" and "Shutdown" and a note in the manual that shutting down will most likely not result in saved settings / playback info / etc.
15:27:07barrywardellplugging in would probably push the level back up above battery_level_dangerous
15:27:21LinusNobo: there?
15:27:26jhMikeSjhMikeS: smells more pcf50606 interrupt handling. :)
15:27:30barrywardellmaybe we can just save settings once the battery level gets that low, then shutdown
15:27:38barrywardelland have the warn option too?
15:28:37jhMikeSWhy should have to trust the battery level ADC on platforms where we have hardware charge management?
15:28:54barrywardellI don't feel the need for a warn option, but could add one if it was desired?
15:28:58Paul_the_Nerdbarrywardell: The problem is the disk spinup. It's hard to tell when the battery will be too low to spin up the disk. I suppose you could pick an assuredly safe voltage, and have some sort of emergency "save" occur at that point no matter what, or something.
15:29:14LinusNjhMikeS: i don't understand the question
15:29:43jhMikeSThe pcf warns about low bat and impending shutdowns and such so just watch those interrupts for that.
15:29:50barrywardellPaul_the_Nerd: that's what battery_level_dangerous is for. it's the level below which rockbox will not do a disk spinup
15:29:57LinusNjhMikeS: on the x5 yes
15:30:07jhMikeSDon't the iRivers use it too?
15:30:11LinusNjhMikeS: no
15:30:26jhMikeSx5 isn't the only one iirc
15:30:46Paul_the_Nerdbarrywardell: Doesn't that mean there's a chance that when you reach it, it's too late, or is it set high enough to be sure?
15:30:51LinusNthe irivers use the pcf50606 as an advanced voltage regulator
15:31:21LinusNand the charging is done by another circuit
15:31:33barrywardellPaul_the_nerd: I'm not too sure. I guess it depends on who calibrated it for each player

15:32:42bluebrotherFebs, why have you put the eq description in a table?
15:33:03Paul_the_Nerdbarrywardell: Well, assuming it's set high enough to assure one final disk write, it seems reasonable to perform the write at that time, then either shutdown or not depending on what preference a user has. Warn seems unnecessary if the write can be assured.
15:33:42bluebrotherI don't like it. It isn't a float, so it doesn't float, and it doesn't break as it's a table.
15:34:02bluebrotherand, it's completely different to all descriptions of that type in the rest of the manual
15:34:11jhMikeSAny new code should take into account the possibility of having all that hardware managed imo
15:34:21LinusNon the other hand, i don't think it's a big deal if the settings aren't saved when the batteri is too low
15:34:33LinusNwe just need to make sure it doesn
15:34:43LinusN't crash because rockbox can't save them
15:34:59LinusNjhMikeS: true
15:35:06*jhMikeS has never used his player long enough in one run to run out the battery.
15:35:22Paul_the_NerdLinusN: If you make sure to get one last write in though, you can save your playlist status, runtime data, and in the case of running a benchmark, a final battery benchmark status, all of which I think are handy.
15:36:05jhMikeSPut the "battery driver" in the target tree :)
15:36:07LinusNthe resume info should have been saved on the last successful spinup anyway
15:36:42Paul_the_NerdLinusN: Yes, but depending on buffer status that could've been as much as an hour ago, sometimes even more.

15:39:21Bagderthat'll teach you not to go there very often! ;-)
15:40:07barrywardellmakes me really want to get power off on low battery working
15:40:33Paul_the_NerdI think giving the user an option for graceful power down on critical battery is a good thing, is all.
15:40:45barrywardelli'll try to get something working which writes to disk, then shuts down when the battery level gets low
15:40:59Paul_the_NerdJust an option, when enabled, performs a proper shutdown (like holding Stop while in WPS on H100)
15:41:01barrywardelland I'll add a setting for it
15:41:11barrywardellI'll post a patch once I have it working

15:58:37Febsbluebrother: two reasons (1) I thought it looked better, and more importantly, (2) I needed a way to separate the general description of the EQ bands from the descriptions of the menu items themselves, for which I use item[ ].
15:59:39amiconnjhMikeS: That ins't necessarily due to the scale; charging monitoring isn't _properly_ implemented on any of the newer targets.
15:59:51amiconnEven some of the old targets need improvement...
16:00
16:00:36Febsbluebrother, I don't feel strongly about it, and I kept a copy of the prior version so that I can change that portion back to what it was, if necessary.
16:01:35FebsPerhaps the better approach would be to do two subsections: (1) Description of the EQ itself, and (2) description of each item in the "Graphical EQ" menu.
16:02:58Febs("Graphical EQ" is a bad name for that menu, considering that the submenus contain options for both graphical and non-graphical EQ interfaces.)
16:04:13Paul_the_NerdWouldn't simply "Equalizer" be enough
16:04:37Paul_the_NerdOh, right, on a related note: The custom eq .cfg files are included in the Archos builds (or at least Recorder V1) and I'm guessing this shouldn't be the case.
16:04:55Paul_the_NerdOr perhaps "Software Equalizer"
16:06:36FebsPaul_the_Nerd: those were my thoughts exactly. I think I prefer "Equalizer."
16:07:49lexhey, what's new in the 5.5G ipod? :(
16:08:01lexwhy doesn't rockbox work in it, because of the firmware change?

16:22:10Bagderwell, this guy has clues so I don't think it is that simple
16:22:44peturobo: does it flush the cache when the disk spins for another reason?
16:22:56barrywardellmaybe a fluke? maybe he wrote to the bootloader flash by accident?
16:23:24Paul_the_NerdWell even a clue doesn't preclude the occasional user error.
16:23:24Bagderthat's not too likely since we only build mi4 files when we experiment
16:23:37Paul_the_NerdFor example, was he using the MI4 you've got at daniel.haxx.se?
16:23:40Bagderbut of course, everything is possible
16:23:56dan_aHe was playing about with accessing different registers/memory areas, so it could have corrupted something

16:28:48oboit only gets a chance to write while it's being called, so if the disk isn't spinning when the track_changed() event occurs, it won't see it

17:14:06pondlifeTrue. My current version just resets _widx = _ridx and never zeroes them

17:16:02pondlifelostlogic: Tomorrow's question will be "Why do we need a guard buffer?"... :-)
17:16:13lostlogicwant the answer now, or want to wait until tomorrow?
17:16:19pondlifeNow, if you can!!
17:17:01pondlifeIn 50 words or less
17:17:06pondlife;-p
17:18:16lostlogicthe guard buffer allows us to guarantee a certain minimum block size to the codecs, which is needed, because I believe some codecs will don't understand about ring buffers and if they don't get the amount of data they want contiguously the first time they will re-request, expecting that whatever reading process they are waiting on will eventually have that block available
17:18:57pondlifeOK, so it's just a mechanism by which we don't use the whole ring buffer in case that leads to that situation, right?
17:19:33pondlifeSo we just insert data from the guard buffer at wrap round if needed.
17:19:52lostlogickinda other way around
17:19:54Kartunpetur: and how do I upload my screenshot/wps ?
17:20:14pondlifeAh, I see - it's outside of the ring buffer really

17:24:08lostlogicpondlife: I don't think overlap is my code, but it looks like it is the amount of data in the current read that is going to write into the currently playing track, so we can change the currently playing track's start position to not be zero, incase there is a seek backwards.
17:24:29lostlogicit also looks like the code should be refactored so that there aren't two blocks in a row that start with if (overlap > 0 &&

17:25:33lostlogicyeah, this looks like someone enhanced a hack of mine which would actually update the start_pos at the start of the fill with this improved version...

17:27:36lostlogichmm, would be better to not have the fill_bytesleft variable and to do a smarter end-of-fill trigger, now that we have that overlap logic in there... just check if where a full 32k block read would fill to would write over the playing position and stop if it would, otherwise do the read and then check the overlap
17:27:54lostlogicwould eliminate another file-scoped variable.

17:52:03dan_aExcellent. It seems to behave... strangely, as you may have seen from the logs
17:52:27*jhMikeS has to implement encoder bit bepth now :0 :)
17:53:11linuxstbYes, it does seem odd. For example, in the audio debug screen, if I play with the wheel, the PCM buffer empties. If the codec thread is indeed running on the COP, I'm not sure why lots of wheel events and screen updates would affect it.
17:53:31Paul_the_NerdThat seems to support the linear execution theory

17:55:38linuxstbAh, it seems the keybindings in the audio debug screen have been changed - the wheel is skipping tracks....

19:46:33leftrightthat backfround noise with the original fimware is gone with rockbox, i dont know how you go it but its magic, my unit is a fairly old one but still sounds good, sounds different to my H140
19:48:39*amiconn thinks the sim could simulate dual-core operation...
19:49:32amiconnCurrently, the sim mimicks rockbox threading by mutexing sdl threads. For dual core, there could be 2 mutexes, one per simulated core
19:50:04PaulJampondlife: on a sim from 23 aug at 8:30 (directly after the fix) the whitenoise problem still exists.
19:50:59pondlifeGood ;-)
19:51:02pondlifeI guess
19:51:21pondlifeOK, so how about if you go back to before the Aug 15th? Or did you already do that?
19:51:49amiconndan_a: What's the 3G's backlight colour?
19:52:22dan_aamiconn: Light blue - I think it's the same as the 4G
19:52:29amiconnah
19:52:36amiconnSo it's different from the mini
19:52:55PaulJamyes, on a sim from aug 15. 01:00 and from aug 10. 01:00 the whitnoise problem didn't happen. (but the stopping happened)
19:53:05dan_aI've not seen a mini
19:53:15amiconnThe mini has white backlight
19:53:21amiconn...at least the 2G
19:54:48PaulJamso it seems that it was a commit on aug 15. between 01:00 and 18:05

19:55:55pondlifeDon't rush, I need to think a bit..
19:56:31pondlifeAh, better idea
19:56:40pondlifeGo to any "bad" version
19:56:57pondlifeAnd run it with no .voice file present
19:57:27PaulJami have done all the tests with no .voice file
19:57:37pondlifeAh... ok.. Weird
19:57:53pondlifeWell, plan B then. On the current playback.c
19:58:08PaulJamon target i have a voice file, but it is located under /Daten/
19:58:26pondlifeOK. Can you try WITH a voice file and see if that helps
19:58:35pondlifeMaybe that's why I'm not able to repro it

20:02:38pondlifeI've got to go now, unfortunately, but if you'd like to try something else, go back to the CVS build and look in the current playback.c routine audio_reset_buffer(). Then remove the else clause ("Allow for 1 codec...") completely and see if that fixes it in your original test (without voice file).
20:02:40PaulJampondlife: any specific voicefile?
20:02:53pondlifeDon't think so

20:11:41pondlifeHmm, is filebuflen -= CODEC_IRAM_SIZE + CODEC_SIZE;
20:11:46pondlifethe same as filebuflen -= (CODEC_IRAM_SIZE + CODEC_SIZE);
20:11:47pondlife?

20:12:12leftrightamiconn: i flashed my recorder, and I get the following message on boot "File type arrayfull", is this bad ?
20:12:23pondlifeWelll, it's not that then...
20:12:33amiconnYou probably didn't flash a recent build yet
20:12:48dan_aGrumpyPiano: Anything that doesn't compress very much (eg Flac.) The best compression/performance ratio seems to be for Musepak
20:12:56amiconnThe flash images on the bootbox page contain a rockbox build from when these images were made.
20:13:16GrumpyPianodan_a: Ok thanks I'll try that :)
20:13:32amiconnYou already flashed that image, now run rombox.ucl or rockbox.ucl in order to bring in the current build
20:13:37lostlogichmm, I wonder if this will work at all.
20:14:15pondlifelostlogic: I dare you to scrap buf_ridx completely :-)
20:14:33amiconnThe description on the FlashingRockbox page is basically still correct, only that we no longer use the archos firmware as fallback firmware, but bootbox, and that there is rombox
20:14:34lostlogicpondlife: I'll leave that up to you. I _use_ buf_ridx in this code, so :-P
20:14:40pondlifeNooooo!!
20:14:50amiconn(but today's daily breaks rombox for recorder v1) :-(
20:15:02pondlifeI tried and failed, but am still unsure exactly why buf_ridx is needed.
20:15:27lostlogicpondlife: only because otherwise buf_ridx = CUR_TI->buf_idx + ci.curpos and that calculation sucks
20:15:45pondlifeThe funny thing is that's not always true
20:15:49lostlogicoh
20:15:51lostlogiccuz of codecs
20:15:55lostlogic?
20:16:03pondlifeDo a seek and it ends up askew, even with codecsize=0.
20:16:11lostlogic:(
20:16:18pondlifeThat is they mystery I'm left with
20:16:23preglowdan_a: does musepack run well for 3g?
20:16:27pondlifeIt's probably obvious when you know about it
20:16:50pondlifeBut conceptually I don't see the need for buf_ridx. Just ci.curpos should deal with most stuff.
20:16:55lostlogicwell it plays music which is honestly better than I thought I'd do in my first shot
20:17:06pondlifeWhat have you done..?
20:17:09lostlogicpondlife: but ci.curpos is relative to the current track
20:17:18lostlogicahh, I know why it doesn't work
20:17:24leftrightamiconn; so if i rolo on the build i have it'll flash it ?
20:17:28dan_apreglow: I tested just about everything when we got sound on the 3g, and from memory, yes, musepack didn't skip
20:17:35lostlogicbecuase we move buf_idx when we overwrite part of a track, but ci.curpos is always relative to the _start_ of he track
20:17:47preglowdan_a: how nice!
20:17:48pondlifeYes, but we have .start_pos
20:18:01lostlogicso it's buf_idx + curpos - start_pos
20:18:02pondlifeOr is that a file offset.
20:18:06lostlogicthis gets prettier all the time
20:18:23pondlifeI just think it should be possible, conceptually.
20:18:38dan_aGrumpyPiano: It also helps if you go into the menu screen while you're listening to music
20:18:58pondlifeMaybe ci.curpos should be relative to the buffer, not the track anyway?
20:19:02pondlife:)
20:19:07pondlifeNo, don't change it...
20:19:14lostlogichaha, not now any way
20:19:41pondlifeOK, so what have you found and changed that is likely to break playback so much??
20:19:46lostlogicpondlife: well for the first time in a long while, it's my turn to post a patch for testing
20:20:01pondlife\o/ The master returns....
20:20:15lostlogicjust removed the use of fill_bytesleft

22:42:36godzirraHowdy folks.
22:45:10godzirraAny word on 5.5g?
22:45:20Kaltharehiya, godzirra.
22:45:49KalthareI've been a bit busy with other stuff for the past day, but I'm settling in now to try and debug that crash.
22:46:07godzirraAll good.
22:46:13*myzar licks Kalthare and godzirra
22:46:15godzirraLet me know if you need any help testing. Its about all I can do to help :)
22:46:24godzirramyzar: I hope you're a hot chick...
22:46:30myzaronly if you want me to...
22:46:31godzirraWait.. this is the internet.. everyone's a hot chick :)
22:46:33*myzar winks
22:46:38godzirralmao
22:46:48myzarinteresting fact
22:46:54myzarmy name in ascii totals 666
22:47:05godzirraheh
22:47:26myzarif you need me to help you guys with the 5.5s, i can help ya
22:47:36myzarbut i code in brainf**k and not C++
22:47:44myzarthough i do have an 80
22:48:17KalthareI've neutered the functions that write the file that's crashing, but I'm still setting up my iPod for testing, so I dunno yet if that'll narrow things down at all. I do note, with some surprise, that one of the functions in question steals the MP3 buffer for its own purposes.
22:50:33myzar;o
22:50:39pillevening
22:50:51myzarperhaps that has something to do with either search or gapless?
22:50:51pillcan i upgrade an ipod firmware after having rockboxed it?
22:50:59myzaryes
22:51:03pillbecause itunes seems like it hangs
22:51:03myzarbut you will need to reinstall rockbox
22:51:13pillah
22:51:13myzarthat's not rockbox pill
22:51:16myzarhere's a simple test
22:51:23pillthat's itunes being sucky?
22:51:26myzarplug in your ipod and find the database file
22:51:32myzarcut it somewhere else and run itunes again
22:51:38myzarif it runs, you know some program corrupted it
22:51:46pillwell itunes runs
22:51:49myzarbut hangs.
22:51:50myzarcrashes
22:51:54myzaror seems unresponsive
22:51:57pillyes
22:51:57 Part mra ("Leaving")
22:51:59myzaryeah, i'm in the same boat
22:52:00pillyesyes
22:52:06myzari used the winamp plugin ml_ipod once
22:52:11myzarnow anything can read the ipod but itunes
22:52:20pillokay
22:52:20myzarand i dont like that, because now i cant get gapless
22:52:25myzartry to do what it old ya
22:52:31pillbut say it's a friend's ipod mini
22:52:36pillif i delete the db
22:52:42myzarno
22:52:44myzardo not DELETE
22:52:44pillwill i be able to rebuild it
22:52:47myzarmove it temporarily
22:52:50pill(i'm a newbie at ipod)
22:52:54pillah!
22:53:13myzaritunes will say you have no music
22:53:19myzarbut it's there, as you can tell by the space meter
22:53:24myzarif so, it's your database
22:53:34pillokay hang on tight
22:53:37pilli'll let you know
22:53:47RedKennedyi've got a question about the doom plugin...is there anything to install besides teh rockdoom wads and teh game wads?
22:53:48RedKennedythe*
22:54:14KalthareRedKennedy: That should be it, unless you want addons
22:54:21pilllame
22:54:22myzarsexy addons.
22:54:26myzarlike Kalthare in the nude.
22:54:31myzar:o
22:54:32RedKennedyKalthare: danke
22:54:35RedKennedyheh

23:12:20KalthareWhat crashes it is the playlist control file being updated.
23:12:35godzirraHuh.
23:12:36godzirrathats odd.
23:12:47 Quit Arathis ("[rl_bot quit]")
23:13:18KalthareNow I'm updating the tag cache during playback, and it's handling it like a champ. So, yeah, the playlist code is the problem here.
23:14:02pillhow do you get that mfing itunes to see that frigging ipod??!!
23:14:22pillis there a "scan" option or something?

23:16:21KalthareWell, as I said before, one of the functions I gutted was taking over the MP3 buffer for its own purposes...

23:41:18myzarif it wasn't seeing the IPod, i think that it was a short while before it would have died anyways

23:46:11Mikachuit's usually easier to fix the ipod yourself than hope itunes can do it
