00:02:37dan_aWhich architecture of ARM do the Gigabeats use? There is code for processors which support the pld instruction, but I don't know if that would work on the Gigabeats
00:03:11BagderARM9
00:03:20Bagderbut I forget the exact one
00:03:39linuxstbARM920T
00:03:46preglowwhich does little more than the arm7tdmi in the ipod
00:03:56Mikachuthe memcpy.S in linux is written by the same person as the glibc ones
00:03:58preglowdoubt it does pld
00:04:01Mikachu( in arch/arm )
00:04:14preglowyeah, they looked very similar
00:04:19preglowi had a look at the linux ones when i did memset
00:04:21Bagderwho is it?
00:04:40Mikachupreglow: doesn't that make it a derived work? :)
00:04:42MikachuNicolas Pitre
00:05:16Slasherihehe, now scrolling on ipod is very fast :)
00:05:21Slashericompared to what it was before
00:05:25preglowSlasheri: what changes have you done?
00:05:55Slasheripreglow: only the necessary changes are drawn, not the whole screen. And cpu is automatically boosted if there are queued button events
00:06:20linuxstbSo no special acceleration yet?
00:06:38Slasheriwell, just gui optimization
00:06:39Mikachuperformance-faster, not usage-faster
00:06:58Slasheriwhat do you mean with usage faster?

00:07:43SlasheriMikachu: with pages scrolling the gui speed feels like it's from another planet now :)
00:07:52Slasheri*paged
00:08:06JdGordonhey all
00:08:17preglowcool, then we just lack better scroll acceleration and it'll be all good
00:08:27*JdGordon has an idea how to add fluff t the wps without affecting core size :)
00:08:35Slasheritrue. i am planning to have a look on that also :)

00:09:56Nico_PSlasheri: for scroll acceleration there is already a patch too

00:10:30amiconnBagder: Goteater's build server caused red builds...
00:10:31SlasheriNico_P: i know.. but i don't like the approach
00:10:44Nico_Pok
00:10:45SlasheriNico_P: i will try something else first
00:10:54SoapSlasheri: FS?
00:11:03Bagderyeah, no sh compiler...
00:11:10SlasheriSoap: hmm?
00:11:11amiconnAnd no m68k compiler either
00:11:14Nico_PJdGordon: what's your idea ?
00:11:18Soapis this on the tracker?
00:11:28SlasheriSoap: nope, i will commit it soon
00:12:14BagderI've now removed sh and m68k from godeater
00:12:36JdGordonI want to create a new tsr plugin which will register wps tags and be called when those tags need to be replaced on the screen
00:13:08Bagderthat sounds... complicated
00:13:23SoapJdGordon: I want to thank you for the colinux enviroment - It is the only solution which works for me.
00:13:24Nico_PJdGordon: you really want to do a TSR plugin, don't you ? :)
00:13:37amiconnSlasheri: This boosting on button events doesn't sound like a good idea (unless it's implemented really clever)
00:13:52JdGordonSoap: :) if you can mainain the image it would be great, ned to remove cvs and add svn
00:13:53amiconnWe don't want to boost/unboost to often, there's a penalty...
00:13:56JdGordonNico_P: yeah :D
00:14:38SoapJdGordon: I was thinking about taking over the maintance. I need to get some hosting. Yea, I added subversion, and just got Samba working really well.
00:15:17JdGordonBagder: would you be abl;e to host the colinux images if they are maintained?

00:15:51Slasheriamiconn: i am still working on it
00:15:54JdGordon~150mb i tinhk
00:15:57linuxstbSoap: How did you measure the boost improvement with the memcpy/memmove patch?
00:16:09JdGordonSoap: there you go :) no need for hosting
00:16:11Mikachui can host it too then if you want
00:16:17linuxstbi.e. what was Rockbox doing, and how long did you measure for?
00:16:24Soaplinuxstb: from the debug screen
00:16:40Soaplinuxstb: ahh - on that front my methodology is rock solid.
00:16:48Bagdernew gigabeat bootloader on the dl site
00:17:03ghost___PaulPosition: i tried what you suggested with the tagnavi.config, but it didn't show the entries, just the subordinate menus like "artist a-z" etc... what could i do?
00:17:06JdGordonanyone like/hate my idea of offloading some of the wps tag handling to a plugin?
00:17:33linuxstbMy first reaction was the same as Bagder's - it sounds complicated...
00:17:37Mikachuwhy would you want to do that?
00:17:47Nico_PJdGordon: it means it's not poissble to use a regular plugin anymore, doesn't it ?
00:17:50BagderJdGordon: I've been toying with the idea of simply running a complete plugin instead of the wps, for the case when you want to go wild
00:17:50Mikachuyou'd always have to have the plugin loaded then
00:18:06Soapboot - launch playlist - wait for buffer to be filled (note buffer fill time) - switch to debug menu/audio thread - wait for two track changes. write down boost percentage at time of second track change. Repeat 3 times per build.
00:18:22Bagderit would of course require that the plugin api can provide all the info
00:18:25MikachuBagder: but then you have to use -> for everything instead of direct calls, maybe that doesn't matter a lot though
00:18:44Nico_Pthat seems smart... the whole WPS as a plugin...
00:18:51 Part Phalangees ("Leaving")
00:18:52linuxstbSoap: So it's the boost without any disk activity?
00:19:17JdGordonBagder: I thought the idea of a full wps plugin was always goin to b shot down? this would allow stuff which just uses ram (like AA) to be added without much complaint
00:19:32JdGordonand seen as the wps is not run while a plugin is there wouldnt be any problem
00:19:48Bagderthe AA would still be troublesome
00:19:50JdGordonthe only down side is the playlist viewer uses the plugin ram so a reload would be needed
00:19:59Nico_Pthe only drawback i see is having to spin the hard drive to load the WPS
00:19:59JdGordonwhy?
00:19:59Soaplinuxstb: correct
00:20:08BagderNico_P: true
00:20:18Soaplinuxstb: 7 minutes of playback since last disk activity.
00:20:24BagderJdGordon: because AA should be dealt with by the song loader as well
00:20:26JdGordonit would only need to spin up if the plugin was unloaded, which it shhuoldnt
00:20:35JdGordonok
00:20:46Soapand the screen was only entered after disk activity, so that doesn't influence the boost % average.
00:20:46Nico_PJdGordon: what if you load another plugin ?
00:21:06linuxstbSoap: What % improvements did you get, and which codecs? (refer me to the logs if you posted them here....)
00:21:12JdGordonthe this gets unloaded... but then the disk would have spun anyway
00:21:43JdGordonalso, I would add a tag to check if its loaded, so you could disable the tag if its not
00:22:20Soaplinuxstb: I posted them on the patch tracker.
00:22:29linuxstbSo where would the WPS store its data? Would it need to load and parse the .wps file and bitmaps each time it was opened?
00:22:33 Join terinjokes [0] (n=terin@wikinews/Terinjokes)
00:22:46linuxstbSoap: Thanks, I'll look there.
00:22:46Soaphttp://www.rockbox.org/tracker/task/6528
00:22:56Soaplinuxstb: forgot to mention - mp3.
00:23:16amiconnPlayback is core functionality, and the wps is part of playback imo
00:23:47amiconnOffloading that to a plugin? Hmm, I'd rather drop wps features than do that...
00:23:53Bagderamiconn: well, I would of course still want WPS and stuff like today
00:24:25linuxstbThere's nothing stopping someone writing a completely new WPS as a plugin though...
00:24:26Bagderthe wps plugin would extra/custom/config
00:24:30JdGordonlinuxstb: isnt each tag checked for each update currently? and storing would either be in the current place, or the pugin ram
00:24:39Bagderlinuxstb: very true
00:25:08 Part terinjokes
00:25:14amiconnJdGordon: For this to work, the wps would need to be a tsr plugin that is allowed to take over the gui.
00:25:41amiconnAnd tsr plugins must not use plugin_get_buffer()
00:25:54amiconnOtherwise rockbox will crash when using the playlist viewer
00:26:05JdGordonamiconn: no, im not suggesting remvin wps... add extra tags through a tsr plugin
00:26:15amiconnAlso, the wps plugin would need an interface to enable/disable its gui use
00:27:01Nico_Pon a slightly related note... how does using the plugin buffer to store album art bitmaps sound ? maybe even using it to decode jpegs ?
00:27:04amiconnWhat would be possible (an idea of mine) is having a wps with a viewport that is redirected to a plugin
00:27:15[Tesser]Okay. I need some serious help. Is anyone well-versed with the 5.5g ipod? 'Cause mine refuses to cooperate.
00:27:18amiconnThinking oscilloscope in the wps...
00:27:41JdGordonwell, thats similar to what im thinking... but wthout th viewpor
00:27:49JdGordonit would draw directoly into the lcd buffer....
00:28:10amiconnIt would still need an interface to stop it from doing so
00:28:17amiconn(viewport or not)
00:28:17JdGordonyeah
00:28:42amiconnThe viewports will also draw to the framebuffer
00:28:51JdGordonwell, my idea uses the tags to tel it when to draw, not a background thread
00:29:01dan_aIs anyone against the ARM optimised memcpy being committed right now?
00:29:11amiconnJdGordon: Then how would that code be executed?
00:29:34JdGordonon load, the plugi would register callbacks for each tag it wants to handle
00:29:34Mikachucall from within the wps parser?
00:29:39JdGordonyeah
00:29:46amiconnhmmmmm.....
00:29:58linuxstbdan_a: Not me. If it's good enough for glibc...
00:30:25dan_aWe can always revert if needed...
00:30:25CtcpIgnored 1 channel CTCP requests in 0 seconds at the last flood
00:30:25*amiconn thinks the first part that needs to be done is a wps parser rework
00:30:32amiconn(perhaps even rewrite)
00:30:44Mikachumaybe only the memcpy one is needed?
00:30:46JdGordonthere has been 2 attempts now to do that hsnt there?
00:31:05gotthardtanyone here the DAC expert for wm8975 ?
00:31:22gotthardton why the code sets the volume twice in a row
00:31:35linuxstbIs that the 5g?
00:32:01gotthardt? im working on the gigabeat and it uses 8971
00:32:14gotthardtbut we use the 8975 cuz its close
00:32:32gotthardti know ipods use 8975 but i dont know which ones
00:32:32 Quit decayedcell ("CGI:IRC (EOF)")
00:32:40linuxstbAh no, the 4g/Color/Nano...
00:34:02gotthardti am going to enable zero-crossing on the 8975, but noticed that volume settings are set twice in a row - no comments say why
00:34:47linuxstbCheck the SVN logs, maybe it's just a mistake
00:34:54gotthardtok
00:35:12preglowamiconn: a tokenizer in particular would be nice, that complete reparse per display sounds expensive
00:36:25Nico_Ppreglow: what's a tokenizer ? something that stores the WPS in some kind of struct ?
00:37:01thegeekIn computing, a token is a primitive block of a structured text. A token can look like anything: English, gibberish symbols, anything; It just needs to be a useful part of the structured text. Generally, whitespace is ignored, but sometimes it is important and tokenized.
00:37:15thegeekgod bless google and define:
00:37:31thegeekAnything treated as a single symbol during syntax analysis such as a name, a literal or an operator.
00:37:34preglowNico_P: just replace a whole string with an int, for example, so that the string doesn't have to be parsed again
00:37:48Mikachuwps strings are usually only 3 chars or less anyway
00:37:49preglowNico_P: unless i'm mistaken, the entire wps is parsed everytime it's displayed now
00:37:57Mikachuand anything that isn't a tag is printed anyway
00:38:02preglowMikachu: well yeah, but a single compare beats a strcmp
00:38:08preglowone instruction vs a function call
00:38:19preglownot that it's done that way, but who knows
00:38:24Mikachui think each character is switched on
00:38:28preglowyeah, probably
00:38:40preglowstrcmping would be pure idiot anyway
00:38:47preglowanywho
00:38:50Mikachubut i suspect all static strings like Artist: is redrawn on each update too?
00:38:53preglowtokens will almost certainly be faster anyway
00:38:58Bagderindeed
00:39:00preglowMikachu: very probably...
00:39:09Nico_PMikachu: not sure
00:39:16Mikachuand the background image memcpy'd into the buffer :)
00:39:19Nico_Pthere are flags that indicate what to update
00:39:22linuxstbgotthardt: It's my own copy-and-paste mistake which has been present since the first commit. The second pair of register writes was originally meant to be setting the volume for the line-out. I think you can safely remove them.
00:39:25Mikachuah
00:39:32linuxstb(we now fix the line-out at 0dB)
00:39:36Mikachuso it just does clear_rect behind each piece of updated string then?
00:39:42gotthardtthanks linuxstb
00:39:55gotthardtis there a archive of all irc?
00:40:00Mikachui suppose i could just look
00:40:02gotthardtin one shot?
00:40:12Nico_PMikachu: i don't know much more than what i just said... i just know not everything gets updated each time the WPS is refreshed
00:41:06amiconnHmpf
00:41:36MikachuBagder: are links such as this supposed to work yet? http://build.rockbox.org/cvsmod/chlog-20070113T175308Z.html
00:41:36preglowgotthardt: why not just google the archive if you're looking for something?
00:42:01BagderMikachu: the link works ;-) but no, I haven't yet populated those with the correct info
00:42:01amiconnCurrent svn is broken on mini G2 (and perhaps other ipods): USB is detected, but the mini doesn't switch to disk mode
00:42:25dan_aIt works fine on a 4G greyscale
00:42:58Nico_Pthere are two patches in the tracker that rework the WPS parsing
00:43:18Mouser_XWhat do they do?
00:43:23Mikachuheh, gwps-common.o is 28kB
00:43:34*linuxstb is starting to like the TMS320DSC25 - a dedicated hardware 16-bit byte-swap and bit-swap register.
00:43:45Nico_Pi looks like both implement token based parsing
00:43:46amiconndan_a: I am just running a memcpy() speed test on arm with my plugin, using C memcpy()
00:44:01amiconnI will measure the asm version later
00:44:09dan_aamiconn: Thank you.
00:44:24preglowlinuxstb: only 16 bit?
00:44:27amiconnlinuxstb: Oh, hardware bitswap!
00:44:28dan_aDo you want me to hold off committing until we have both results?
00:44:38*amiconn would like that to be part of the SH1 :/
00:44:45preglownot very risc, is it! :-)
00:45:58linuxstbamiconn: Can you remind me why we need to bitswap for the MAS? Is that likely to be the same on the av3xx?
00:46:26Mikachuah yes, the wps only redraws lines that change, but it does clear the whole line
00:46:44amiconnlinuxstb: I don't think so
00:47:15amiconnThe bitswap on SH1 is needed because the MAS (and the MMC in the Ondios) use SPI transfers
00:47:38amiconnPractically all SPI implementations send MSB first, only the SH1 sends LSB first...
00:47:45JdGordonMikachu: each tag is checked tho each update isnt it?
00:48:04amiconnThe SH2 (and higher) have selectable bit order on SPI...
00:48:05linuxstbAh, so it's a feature of the SH1.
00:48:15amiconnHaha, a feature, yes... :/
00:48:16Mikachuit looks like each line is checked for marked as scrolling or refresh, etc, and if so it proceeds to parse tags
00:48:21Mikachuotherwise i think it skips the whole line
00:48:30Mikachubut it's like 6000 lines, i might have skipped something important :)

01:02:42dan_ahmmm... do we have any profile for what sort of copies Rockbox does?
01:03:06amiconnThat was with teh C version
01:03:20amiconn...but it's normal for all implementations I'd say
01:04:26preglowwhy does that puzzle you?
01:05:05amiconnOnly a little... because it's the first time that I observed such behaviour
01:05:23preglowahh, you haven't benched arm mem* before?
01:05:29amiconnnope
01:05:34amiconnOnly SH1 and coldfire
01:05:35preglowright, then i get it
01:07:13amiconnBagder: Hmm, why do manual/ commits trigger a rebuild now?
01:09:25preglowamiconn: i've figured out why cuts worked so badly with the first order shelving filter already in rockbox, btw, and i suspect it'll work nicely for treble/bass controls once i solve it
01:09:33 Quit ender` (" The problem with political jokes is they get elected. -- Henry Cate, VII")
01:09:54amiconnIs there a bug in the filter code itself?
01:10:06preglowamiconn: what made you change your mind about not doing treble/bass in software if not available in hardware, btw?
01:10:15preglowamiconn: it's a quirk in the way i designed the filter, more like a math problem
01:10:22amiconnaha
01:10:28[Tesser]Anyone know why my Rockbox bootloader would hang, while thinking I only had 7130MB on my 3gb drive?
01:10:54Mikachuonly? i would say that is quite a lot on a 3GB drive

01:11:11[Tesser]s/3gb/30gb
01:12:19***Saving seen data "./dancer.seen"
01:13:11amiconnpreglow: Mainly that one does need some sort of tone control when listening with phones at a non-deafening volume level (because of fletcher-munson), and using the eq is sorta overkill just for this purpose
01:13:27[Tesser]I've got nothin'. I've had read/write problems since I tried out a new loader, new rockbox, et cetera. I went back to what worked the first time (Psiuyo's Dec 28th build for 5.5g) and it's hung. Nothing doing.
01:13:37amiconnPlain treble and bass controls are easier to use, and if it also saves cpu power, it's even better
01:14:05preglowshould save some amount of cpu, yes
01:14:23preglowboth treble and bass controls combined should be about the same complexity as one eq band
01:14:41amiconnIs that also true for coldfire?
01:14:44preglowyes
01:15:06amiconn(because the X5 would also benefit from this)
01:15:12preglowbut, there's one problem
01:15:16preglowwe'll probably need a prescaler for boosts
01:15:22preglowto avoid clipping
01:15:25amiconnyes
01:15:34preglowthis issue is already there in the eq too, i don't know why we've never dealt withit
01:15:48amiconnThe hw treble/bass deals with it
01:15:57preglowhmm, yes, we do have a prescaler there :>
01:16:02preglowit's just manual
01:16:50 Join Febs [0] (n=chatzill@c-69-249-241-66.hsd1.pa.comcast.net)
01:16:54amiconnThe hw treble/bass code prescales (on targets where it's needed), and shadows that by boosting output volume
01:17:18preglowah, so we still do that
01:17:32preglowso the only behaviour we removed was the limiting if prescale was not possible?
01:17:38*dan_a goes to bed

01:17:45preglowdan_a: gnite
01:17:48amiconn...unless the output volume is already at maximum, then it reduces prescaling (possibly causing clipping)
01:18:19preglowyes, which is good
01:18:35preglowshould we attempt to duplicate that for sw treb/bass controls, then?
01:18:50preglowthe prescale i can do for free in the filter
01:18:55amiconnThis is done (at least, to my knowledge) for UDA1380 (irivers) and DAC3550 (archos player)
01:19:27amiconnThe MAS3587 and MAS3539 handles that internally, in some not described way
01:20:10amiconnThe TLV320 (X5) doesn't have tone control, and afaik that's also true for the various WM codecs except the 8758
01:20:40amiconn(which has that hardware eq which seems to be incomplete)
01:21:03preglowso i'll just need to find a way to specify the cutoff frquency in terms of half-amplitude points
01:21:08preglowand we're good to go
01:22:51[Tesser]linuxstb, can I bother you for a second?
01:23:21Mikachuis that a trick question?
01:23:31[Tesser]Well, I'm sure I'll succeed.
01:23:42[Tesser]I guess the real question is "may I"
01:24:10[Tesser]Or anyone who could help me undestand how ipod MBR functions.
01:24:10Aloneaok, I have a friend with an ipod and I was trying to see if his is supported. He said its a second gen nano. I only see first gen nano, so thus it is not supported, correct?
01:24:29preglowindeed
01:24:41preglowit's not even close to being supported, i'm afraid
01:25:18Aloneaok, I will tell him. I swear there are too many different versions of ipod...@@
01:25:43preglowthe nano2g is _a lot_ more different to nano1g than it looks
01:25:47preglowthe internals are completely different
01:25:58linuxstb[Tesser]: What's your question?
01:26:00preglowand this time too, all documentation is secret
01:26:07preglowpleasing us no end
01:26:14linuxstbPlus the encryption...
01:26:32Mikachuplus the pink color
01:26:33[Tesser]linuxstb, if I used a utility that hacked my MBR, would that carry over after an iTues restore?
01:26:42InsectoidI've been sitting in make voice for about an hour now without any changes. The last I saw was it running the script. Is this normal?
01:27:02linuxstb[Tesser]: I doubt it, but I don't use itunes, and don't know what it does when it restores.
01:27:30[Tesser]I'm just having major issues, and the things that used to work no longer do.
01:27:37linuxstbWe have copies of most of the MBRs from unmodified ipods here: http://download.rockbox.org/bootloader/ipod/ if you need one.
01:28:00linuxstb(FAT32 formatted ipods, obviously)
01:28:06[Tesser]Right.

01:44:58preglownumbers, please
01:45:00Mikachu5
01:45:03preglowanother!
01:45:13Mikachui can't think of any!
01:45:16 Part redwood
01:45:21preglowme neither, i have to ask people for them
01:45:40preglowooh, i gleaned 1 and 4 from the current time!
01:45:47preglowi still feel some of them are missing
01:46:15puetzk17
01:46:22puetzkit's the most random number, after all
01:46:23preglowone can combine them??
01:46:53amiconnThere are some cases where it's slower, this is (1) for data lengths of 0 and 1 byte, and (2) for length==16 with both src and dest 32bit-aligned
01:46:55JdGordon...and the supplements, 6 and 19, hope your numbers came up, see you next week on lotto
01:47:35preglowamiconn: well, the first are to be expected anyway
01:47:39preglowand the second is no surprise either
01:47:45preglowthough more so than the first
01:48:37amiconnFor very large blocks (larger than the cache), the aligned case is ~10% faster than in C, and the 15 unaligned cases are almost 4 times faster than in the C version, and only ~15% slower than the aligned case

01:49:50amiconnWith blocks in the KB range which fit in the cache, it performs best: 2.4 times as fast for aligned and ~7.5 times as fast for the unaligned cases
01:50:07preglowthat's not bad at all
01:50:48amiconnpreglow: Btw, why do you think (1) is to be expected?
01:51:57preglowamiconn: since it's a seldomle seen case, it's bound to not be checked for explicitely, but rather just eliminated via the ordinary code path
01:52:00amiconnOn coldfire and SH1 this doesn't happen for any asm mem* function
01:52:01preglowseldomly
01:52:14preglowthe same happens with the memset
01:52:51amiconnI agree that len==0 is a rare case, but len==1 is not
01:53:11preglowhmm
01:53:15preglowi'd expect it to be
01:53:27amiconnMy in-the-works version for coldfire takes special care for short copies
01:53:37Mikachuif there are places that call memset with length==1, isn't it better to add the check to them?
01:53:46preglowi'd pretty much say so
01:54:19amiconnNot only 1 but also other short lengths
01:54:19Mikachuwould be nice if a function could have two entry points

02:52:22drklabyrinthrockbox?
02:52:27InsectoidYes.
02:52:53InsectoidI've found it to be less efficient with battery usage than the regular firmware. But I'll take that any day.
02:53:11drklabyrinthhow much less efficient?

03:02:33InsectoidI'm wondering about feasibility before I go submitting a request.
03:04:02scorchewhat is flite?
03:04:18puetzkscorche, a cut-down synth engine for festival text-to-speec voices
03:04:27scorcheah
03:05:13puetzkit's compatible with festvox, but pure C, instead of a C++/lisp mix, and all the voicing data structures precompiled instead of parsed at runtime
03:05:30 Quit Genre9mp3 ("I don't suffer from Rockbox psychosis. I enjoy every minute of it.")
03:05:34puetzkhowever, cut-down is still floating-point and several megs (last I know anyway)
03:06:00puetzkif it runs realtime on iPodlinux, maybe there has been more progress...
03:06:06Mikachuthere is a small engine called espeak that's only 1.3M (that's source + data + compiled binary)
03:06:12linuxstbInsectoid: Was Flite running satisfactorily in ipodlinux? It's easy to compile things for IPL, but they don't always work...
03:06:31Mikachuhttp://espeak.sourceforge.net/
03:06:44InsectoidI haven't actual run it as I don't have Ipodlinux. But from what I could glean, yes.
03:06:46puetzkMikachu, what we really need is Macintalk-2 era stuff :-P Too bad it was all asm and mostly lost to history...

03:26:42linuxstbamiconn: That wouldn't surprise me at all...
03:26:56Aloneaok, thanks. no longer confused.
03:26:56amiconnIf the volume registers work the same way as for the wm8711/21/31 (and I think they do), the | 0x100 in the volume setting is bad
03:27:23linuxstbDoesn't that make the DAC apply both volume settings at the same time?
03:27:29combrainslinuxstb, you might be able to help me
03:27:58amiconnlinuxstb: yes.
03:28:19Soapanother stupid noob question - how do I rmdir a non-empty directory?
03:28:37amiconnAnd because right volume is set after left volume, and has the "set both" bit, the left setting is overwritten
03:28:44combrainsif I build the gigabeat bootloader from source it gives me a file called bootloader.bin. To install it, do I just rename it to FWIMG01.dat and put it in my GBSYSTEM dir?

03:35:24preglowMikachu: something in swedish, please :P
03:35:30linuxstbamiconn: My understanding is that if bit 0x100 is 0, the value is written into an intermediate latch. When it's 1, then the current channel is set with the value from the write, and the other channel is set from the intermediate latch for that channel.

03:37:47preglowand small wonder, since they're easier to create
03:38:07preglowa rolling r is a pretty hostily sound to synthesize

03:38:41puetzkpreglow, I have sympathy for it, it's a sound I can't do either :-)

03:39:37preglowgot tons of those in norway too
03:39:39amiconnlinuxstb: If it works like you describe, it is different from the wm8731 and friends
03:39:45preglowrolling rs are actually on the decline, for some reason
03:39:53amiconnDo you have a link for the 8975 datasheet?
03:42:28linuxstbI don't think the 8975 is available, but the 8750 seems compatible. It should be on the wolfson website.
03:43:41amiconnAh, yes, it is different...
03:43:57amiconnThe wm8731 and friends use bit 8 to tie the channels together
03:44:15amiconnWriting either side's register with bit 8 set sets both channels to the same value

04:49:56Kirschi want to ask a obvious question cause i don't know, can you share a "library" between rockbox and the ipod library?
04:50:02Kirschor do i have to put songs so that rockbox can see it?
04:50:39puetzkKirsch, you can, but ITunes puts the files on with garbage names and folder structure
04:50:51puetzkso you pretty much have to use the tag database for it to be useable

05:22:21Kirschdoes www.ipodlinux.org work for anyone?

05:24:06SoapI ran rockboxdev.sh, it appeared to go fine, but when I "../tools/configure", select my target I get the line "Using arm-elf-gcc 3.3.6 (303)" I thought that wasn't the newest version.
05:24:37jdongipodlinux does inded time out....
05:24:56jdongSoap: what does arm-elf-gcc -v report?
05:25:35jdong(on the same token latest gcc and binutils works; though latest GCC needs reconfigured with no SSP)
05:25:42Soapgcc version 3.3.6
05:26:19jdongheh
05:26:23jdongwell, your GCC is old then
05:26:31jdonglook at rockboxdev.sh, what gcc version is set?

05:29:07jdongwell, I have no clue then :-/
05:29:10Soapmaybe it failed and I missed the error?
05:29:17jdongperhaps
05:29:29andrewghow would i allow a plugin to be built with the current makefile generated by configure? I have looked through a few makefiles in different directories but couldn't find it
05:29:31jdongit doesn't exactly report errors all that nicely
05:30:27Soaplet's say I stay on this old gcc, what do I lose?
05:30:42jdongnot terribly much
05:31:04jdong(1) A bit of "optimizations" although that's a really controversial point and not worth losing any sleep over
05:31:32jdong(2) sometimes gcc4 will compile code that 3.x will error out on, and vice versa. since the devs are targeting 4.0.3 you might run into build failures
05:31:40jdong#2 is what you need to be more concerned about
05:31:47jdongI don't think it'll happen terribly often though
05:31:53jdongit happens the other way around quite more often :)

06:11:34Mouser_XJdGordon: Honestly, the viewport to a plugin is a good idea. I know it's pretty useless, but I'd like to see an anylizer for the WPS (similar to the one that Winamp has).
06:12:11JdGordonMouser_X: yeah, it wold be nice... id hate to see the frame rate we would be able to get tho
06:12:16Mouser_X(Meaning, I know the anylizer is pretty useless, but I'd like it nonetheless.)
06:12:32JdGordonI finnally gt hte plugin working properly :D
06:12:57Mouser_XWell, I'll be using a Gigabeat. I expect that to be pretty decent as far as FPS goes.
06:13:00Mouser_XCool!
06:13:26scorchei dont care about the framerate....i would be interested in how big of a chunk it takes out of the battery
06:13:40JdGordonscorche: a decent amount I would think :D
06:14:05JdGordonw00t... i got runtime in he wps :) utterly useless but it shos the plugin works
06:14:16Mouser_XHeh.
06:14:51JdGordonI want to take the bitmap drawin out of the core and put it in the plugin... I dont know who else will agree with me there tho
06:15:39Mouser_XIf it improves anything, I'd say it's a good idea (increase in battery life, or whatever).
06:15:41JdGordonIt might even get enough code out of the cre to get rombox working agin
06:17:13JdGordonto do the analyzer in a viewport properly, viewports need to be coded int he core first...
06:18:30Mouser_XHmmm. Good point.

06:54:06Soaprockbox has more options - but basic playback sound is greatly limited/coloured/determined by the DAC and amp.
06:56:03Soap"opening up the channels" is audiophile speak for stereo crosstalk - one measure where rockbox performs identical to stock firmware.
06:58:19decayedcellbattery life is a lot less than the stock firmware though
06:58:38Soapon the portaplayer targets it surely is.
06:58:49decayedcellhmm
06:58:54decayedcellbut why?
06:58:57Soapperhaps also on the gigabeat, I can't speak to that.

09:17:16scorchelocks up?
09:17:40JPMaximilianyeah, my ipod does, while i'm playing a song, or when it's loading, i have to restart it
09:18:00scorcheis that what you mean by the battery dying?
09:18:15JPMaximiliantwo different things, sometimes it shuts off cause the battery dies
09:18:26JPMaximiliansometimes it locks up, even though there is still battery left, at least on the icon

12:07:03Drkepilogueone thing i like to point out
12:07:11Drkepilogueusing the lastest CVS build
12:07:22Drkepiloguei am unable to boot up rockbox
12:07:46Drkepiloguethe boot loader looks like it is working properrly
12:07:59Drkepiloguebut for some reason, it wont boot rockbox
12:08:08Drkepilogueboot up orginal frimware tho
12:08:24debauched_slot1Drkepilogue: which player?
12:09:11Drkepilogueipod
12:09:13Drkepiloguesorry..
12:09:20debauched_slot1ah, thanks
12:09:54Drkepiloguemaybe the change to the arm thingy have an affect?
12:10:25debauched_slot1I don't know - I am running a gigabeat, which is also ARM, and it works great here. Noticeably faster, too.

12:11:00Drkepiloguewell

12:11:57DrkepilogueBTW, how much faster r u talking about?

15:01:00Slasheripreglow: that speed acceleration seems to work fine, now i need to add framedropping to the list scrolling when speed gets high enough
15:01:10Bagderbluebrother: it seems the html zip file doesn't build anymore, have you tried it recently?
15:01:52linuxstbBagder: bluebrother mentioned something earlier about the .svn files conflicting

15:02:22linuxstbYes, not sure how the crossfade would work...

15:02:48preglowlinuxstb: how do you plan on supporting video, though? i assume that's your primary motivation
15:03:04linuxstbNo, my primary motivation is a 2.5" disk capable of FLAC.
15:03:12amiconnBagder: (1) The viewvc links on the front page don't work anymore - permission denied
15:03:31preglowlinuxstb: and there's no more practical devices around than that? looks like a bother to lug that thing around
15:03:33amiconn(2) The build master itself is in urgent need of an m68k-elf-gcc update
15:03:55amiconn3.4.1 ices in libfaad, we need at least 3.4.4, preferably 3.4.6
15:04:03linuxstbpreglow: If you find one that will be as relatively easy to get Rockbox working on as the av300, please tell me.
15:04:25linuxstbIt's the same size and weight as my Archos Recv1, and I can live with that.
15:04:32preglowthe swcodecs/hwcodec split doesn't exactly sounds easy to me :)
15:04:47preglowsince you'll pretty much need to unify the playback engine
15:05:16linuxstbNo, but that's "just" a software issue. The hardware is well-documented - either with datasheets, or code from ArchOpen, which seems very advanced.
15:05:33linuxstbI didn't want to have to reverse-engineer hardware.

15:08:09Bagderno idea
15:08:16Bagderthe neuros guys discuss them at times
15:08:38Bagderthey also discuss the failed gcc port and possibilty of doing a _new_ compiler for it
15:09:04preglowhahahah

15:13:16preglowgcc 4.3 will have improved coldfire support
15:13:23preglownow, if they could only get 4.2 out the door
15:13:25Bagderwoo
15:14:42amiconnpreglow: As long as they don't fix the crappy behaviour being in 4.1.x and/or add all the various coldfire targets from binutils to gcc, we won't be able to use it
15:15:34preglowamiconn: what would that be? i forgot
15:15:46Bagderthere, made build datestamp in UTC
15:16:18amiconnpreglow: gcc 4.1.x and up always pass the -m parameter on to gas
15:16:29Bagdernext step would be to attempt 'svnversion' in the source dir to provide svn revision in the version string
15:16:30amiconnBut gcc doesn't know the 5249, only 5206e
15:16:59amiconnSo compiling with m68k-elf-gcc 4.1.x will fail either way
15:17:05preglowamiconn: 4.3 will revise the -m system, i think
15:17:13preglowanyway, has this been reported to them?

16:34:16Slasherijust a moment
16:34:39Slasherii have tried two different approaches and it seems like the speed control alone feels the best
16:35:33linuxstbDoes it feel the same when a CPU-intensive codec is playing?
16:35:36bluebrotherBagder, make manual-zip works fine for me. But: sometimes building fails completely with messages about permissiong ...
16:35:48Bagderhm, ok I'll research
16:36:03bluebrotherand it affects files like manual/configure_rockbox/images/.svn/text-base/ss-sound-settings-176x220x16.png.svn-base': Permission denied
16:36:04BagderI noticed that the links are missing on the manual page because there are no html zips present
16:36:28linuxstbDo many people download the html zips?
16:36:34Slasherilinuxstb: there, please try out :)
16:36:38BagderI don't know, haven't checked
16:36:56Slasherithe speed is not yet optimized to be as "user friendly" as possible
16:37:11linuxstbSlasheri: Thanks.
16:37:32Slasherilinuxstb: and please try with paged scrolling _disabled_ :)
16:37:43Slasherithen you see how it automatically activates
16:37:58bluebrotherhmm, make clean seems to fix it.
16:38:24bluebrotherlet's see if and when this occurs again −− already had this a couple of days before
16:39:36linuxstbSlasheri: The fast-scrolling kicks in too early for my taste. In short lists, I'm overshooting constantly...
16:39:54 Quit Stalwart (Remote closed the connection)
16:40:21Slasherilinuxstb: hmm, very possible. Currently it depends entirely how fast you move the wheel
16:40:22linuxstb(short = less than 100 items)
16:40:34Slasheriso there is no steps when it "kicks in"
16:40:48linuxstbI guess I'm used to moving it fast, so maybe I'll get used to it...
16:40:57Slasheri:)
16:41:31linuxstbBTW, what size font are you normally using?
16:41:42linuxstbI have the system font.
16:41:48Slasherihmm, but maybe it could still accelerate little slower, so the change wouldn't be immediate
16:42:00Slasherihmm, currently i have a theme with a very small font
16:42:20Slasherisomething like over 20 entries / page
16:43:17linuxstbI think the system font gives be about 30/page.
16:43:39Bagder240/8 = 30
16:43:48Slasherioh, i will try that too
16:45:23linuxstbOne small bug... I just told tagcache to initialise itself, so the Update In Background splash came up. But scrolling in the same menu afterwards doesn't remove the splash.
16:45:52Slasheriah, yep. Those glitches are still to be fixed
16:46:10 Quit powr-toc ("Leaving")
16:46:13Slasheriwe need to call gui_synclist_refresh() for it to redraw the entire screen

16:46:54linuxstbWell, I _think_ it's working on my 5g...
16:47:05Slasherinice
16:47:32linuxstbIt's just a write to a register to change the brightness?

16:49:54Slasherihehe, that is a glitch too :) will be fixed

16:52:15 Join Mouser_X [0] (n=mouser_x@67.110.120.159.ptr.us.xo.net)
16:52:35linuxstbHow about making the scrolling similar to the seeking acceleration in the WPS? i.e. based on the duration of the track (i.e. length of the list).
16:52:35Slasheriyeah, i will do some adjustments soon
16:52:56Slasherihmm, that
16:53:00Slasheriups
16:53:09Slasherimight be work too
16:54:29linuxstbIt would also be nice to put the acceleration in the list code - so it helps all targets when scrolling through very long lists.
16:55:07Slasherihmm, that would not work
16:55:18Slasheriit needs to know the wheel rotating speed
16:55:20Soaphow does your lcd brightness technique differ from the existing ipod backlight patch, Slasheri ?
16:55:21*amiconn still wonders why one would want faster scrolling than in svn
16:55:24Slasheriand with joystick there is no speed

17:55:17sandeen_i guess i should just fiddle with this a bit more eh
17:57:14sandeen_oh cool so database view can find all the files that itunes had on there...

17:59:04sandeen_any idea if itunes can still see it as a normal ipod when rockbox is on it?
17:59:14sandeen_it's just a disk to itunes I'd guess?

19:05:19BigBambiSlasheri: When you return - Using the latest SVN build, I downloaded bootlader.iriver v7pre3 from the wiki and opened it with iriver_flash. It said "update bootlader [play to confirm]", I pressed play and it said Incompatible/Untested bootloader. I've checked the MD5 sum and it is as on the wiki page. Any ideas?
19:05:59SlasheriBigBambi: did you also updated to the bleeding edge rockbox build?
19:06:01dpassen1BigBambi: I had the same problem, I think you need a newer build of rockbox (with a newer build of iriver_flash)
19:06:07SlasheriBigBambi: copying just the rockbox.iriver is not enough
19:06:10BigBambiYep, latest SVN

19:14:42BigBambiI can checkout and build if that helps?
19:14:46SoapPhantompyro: you "should" do whatever you want. If you want to continue to use iTunes to manage your music iTunes will place songs in iPod_Control\Music. If you want to throw iTunes away forever you /can/ delete that folder and simply drop music onto your player like any other drive.
19:14:56Slasheriah, i thought you had built it from SVN
19:15:10BigBambino, just downloaded it from build.rockbox.org
19:15:34SoapIf you want to continue to use iTunes to manage your music, you will be well advised to browse your music with Rockbox's "Database" feature, which displays songs based on their tags.
19:15:35BigBambii can build though, in case there is something odd with the precompiled

20:00:38Slasheriyou can slow down scrolling speed and scrolling also slows down

20:38:28GigabeatZombiesweet
20:38:35Aloneado you want just for the gigabeat, or do you want the Room update too?
20:38:44GigabeatZombiethe update or just the raw firmware?
20:38:53GigabeatZombieeither
20:39:28Aloneaok, I will put just the firmware upgrade. with both its 50 megs...
20:39:34LloreanGodEater: I'd suggest that we put "Rockbox Error: -1" in the manual, but I don't think that would help much either.
20:39:57LloreanIt's already mentioned, but you won't get it with that search, since it says 'a "-1" error'
20:40:09GigabeatZombiehowever if it is a firmware issue all the upgrade will do is upgrade a busted firmware
20:40:21Aloneabut yes, I think this should be mentioned somewhere, that if you dont ahve the latest firmware, rockbox will not work

20:57:58GigabeatZombieso that updater won't see my gigabeat lol
20:57:58LloreanMy frustration doesn't relate to intelligence at all. For all I know some of these people are incredibly intelligent, as lawyers or doctors or something. The problem comes from what I see as the "tech support dependency."
20:57:58Soapit should be trippple
20:58:03GodEaterI would suspect that's a mistake made mostly by non-native english speakers
20:58:15LloreanThere's two problems with IT these days.
20:58:21LloreanOne: IT is often condescending to users.
20:58:26LloreanTwo: IT still fixes all the little problems.
20:58:31*Soap finds non-native speakers have _better_ spelling.
20:58:40GodEaterLlorean: I guess that's more what I meant - get the bot to ask "demonstrate the DOS command used to change directory to c:\rockbox"
20:59:34dan_aLlorean: The reason for (1) is that most users deserve it!
20:59:35dan_a</joke>
20:59:43LloreanIt frustrates me to no end that IT guys are considered bad for suggesting the user read the manual first, but then you see them making fun of users within those users' earshot and you can see where the user gets the impression that the suggestion to read the manual isn't in good faith.
20:59:46AloneaGigabeatZombie: now, as for installing the update, I have no idea. I know its a bit bitchy. How do you have it set up? COnnect to gigabeat room or windows media? You might have better luck if its in the cradle (if you have it) and set to gigabeat room.
20:59:50*GodEater pats his LART
20:59:54Lloreandan_a: The problem is that 1 feeds 2 feeds 1.
21:00
21:00:18dan_aGodEater: a.s.r. reader, are we?
21:00:28Lloreandan_a: Tech support gets called on because the user ignored warning messages and screwed something up, tech support resents user, user becomes wary of calling tech support, computer gets in worse condition before they call again.
21:00:36GodEaterdan_a I gues not - I have no idea what that stands for
21:01:12LloreanI'd very much prefer if a user called up and asked "My computer has popped up a warning box that says 'blah', is it alright if I press Okay or should I have one of your guys down here to look at it?" rather than just hoping it'll work out.

21:03:13GodEaterbut clearly I was unaware it was making my users scared of me
21:03:17GodEaterhehe
21:03:22LloreanIt's just the fact that many users feel condescended to if you over-explain, and short-changed if you under-explain. They want to be offended because judging from our venting elsewhere, they think we want to offend.
21:03:29AloneaGigabeatZombie: ok. its just windows being silly really.

21:03:44LloreanI'm not sure if there is a proper balance, though.
21:03:49GigabeatZombieany idea?
21:03:50KCCi'll be d/ling that firmware too, hope ya dont mind
21:03:50GodEaterLlorean: the explanation thing is a tough tight-rope to walk for sure
21:03:59GodEaterI actually always ask
21:04:09GodEater"do you want to know why this happened?"
21:04:14GodEateror do you just want it fixed?

21:05:24GigabeatZombiecan you zip up an image of your updated firmware for me?
21:05:38dan_aWhen I was working on a helpdesk, I'd always ask if a caller wanted something explaining in more detail than I would expect the average PC magazine reader to know.
21:05:57LloreanGodEater: My biggest frustration though is how often I have to undo something that happened not because of something going wrong, but because a user made a wrong choice because they were 'pretty sure it was the right one, and I was in too much a hurry to check the manual' or some similar excuse.
21:05:57KCChmm?
21:06:09GigabeatZombieI suddenly don't trust my firmware lol
21:06:27GigabeatZombieafter you update if you could zip all of your firmware up and get it to me that would rock
21:07:09GodEaterLlorean: yup - that's my worst nightmare too - but there's not much you can do about those people
21:07:15GodEaterthat's why I don't work support anymore :)
21:07:19GodEaternot in the front line anyway
21:07:32GodEaterdid it for three years - that was more than long enough

21:08:14GodEaterLlorean: yeah - but we get to be rude here :)
21:08:19LloreanFortunately here, if I find a question just too hard to answer in a civil enough tone, I can just shut the browser window, and hope it goes away.
21:08:24GodEaterwithin reason anyway

21:10:03LloreanYeah, but I do like the fact that as a project we actually have a fairly decent reputation in terms of support compared to "open-source" as a whole.

21:11:29KCCisnt that the point of Rockbox?
21:11:31AloneaGigabeatZombie: ok, best thing is to try switching inbetween modes. or you could uninstall it and reinstall it.

21:16:52Soapthere is a difference between "lying" and "clueless and mistaken"

21:28:05GigabeatZombielol
21:28:14LloreanHahaa
21:28:19AloneaGigabeatZombie: Well, I don't know really what to tell you. I really do hate windows sometimes and if you have another computer that has not had gigabeat isntalled on it you might want to try there. I am almost positive its the firmware, but toshiba did a bad job onmany of the small details
21:28:21Mikachui was jsut reading that
21:28:30Mikachuthe article is really stupid though, don't bother with it
21:28:47GigabeatZombiewould linux find this?
21:28:56Aloneathere is probably a more thorough way to uninstall gigabeat from your system, but I will have to google that
21:29:28Soapif anyone familiar with rockboxdev.sh could take a look at http://www.pastebin.ca/316619 <−−all the warning messages I could capture. I don't know if any are fatal or not. I thought I directed the output to a text file, but all the warnings came up in the terminal instead of the text file.

21:32:24Mikachus/'s/s'/
21:32:24Everybodyhi
21:32:26Everybody:)
21:32:37LloreanI'm sorry, but the point at which the user says "No, I don't want to know how to keep this from happening again" is the point at which I should be allowed to say "Well whether you want to know or not, we won't be fixing it again so I suggest you find out". Unfortunately not many policies allow me to do that.
21:34:08AloneaOk, we are jumping for joy in the gigabeat channel. I must share news. Ok, I did a battery benchmark with the new bootloader. I did a more natural one this time where I used it like I normally would as much as possible. With the old bootloader I got a little over 14 hours. On this one, I almost got 20 hours!
21:34:23LloreanAlonea: Why is Rockbox discussion happening in the GIgabeat channel still?
21:34:57Mikachubecause telling them battery time doesn't suck might get them in here?
21:35:34LloreanMikachu: But this is clearly a case of the news coming somewhere else first. What else have we missed? As well it makes it nearly impossible for those of us to try to globally support Rockbox if support issues are being brought to bear in unofficial locations.
21:35:54Aloneawell, really, we only work on wps in there and sometimes we test stuff or whatever sloth gives us. Also just random offtopic stuff sometimes. But pearldiver has been getting me to do these battery benchmarks
21:36:18Mikachui think you removed the pun from his nick there :)
21:36:42Aloneaits random. sometimes he has it pearl, and sometimes he has it perl.
21:36:54Mikachuah, maybe from reconnects
21:37:02Mikachui had only seen the perl one
21:37:51SoapAlonea: I'm not sure you are the right person to mention it to - but the gigabeat battery runtime wiki page would be a lot more useful if testing also took place on the original firmware.
21:37:56LloreanAlonea: My real concern is that people will come there with simple support questions, and get answers rather than redirection. No matter how simple the question is, if it's regarding the Rockbox software or installation, it should be answered with "Please ask in #Rockbox" so that people are more likely to catch that it is a unified software and support base.

21:38:42SoapW/o knowing how long the battery a tester is using lasts in stock, the numbers mean nothing as they have no basis of comparison. Aging batteries will influence the numbers as much as Rockbox improvements.
21:38:46Aloneaoh, rarely people go in there with support questions. they all come in here.

21:39:08LloreanAlonea: As long as that's the case, and as long as development discussion continues to happen in here, I'm not too concerned then.
21:39:34LloreanIt's just that all work talked about should be in here so it's on the official logs, and support should happen in here so that other supporters present can learn from it peripherally.
21:40:05Aloneareally its just a few of us wanting a less congested space to work on little projects like wps that have to do with gigabeat, and offtopic
21:40:34LloreanGodEater: Actually, I realized, my *biggest* frustration is the user making the assumption that, even though they need to consult an expert for help, they still know more than him and can make decisions not to do everything they've been told.
21:40:57GodEateryep - they're the worst ones
21:40:57Aloneathats why I shared the news about the benchmark. Oh, please look at it here http://myweb.cableone.net/Tx-Files9/battery_bench2_Alonea.txt
21:41:07LloreanGodEater: For example the guy in our forums who assumed Rockbox was giving him 3-minute battery life.
21:41:28MikachuLlorean: or when they suddenly say "so i decided to click this button over here and it did this and this" :)
21:41:45GodEaterLlorean: must have missed him
21:42:20KCCso this new 'Beat bootloader frees up 1.7mb of memory... what exactly does this mean?
21:42:51LloreanGodEater: He eventually realized he'd been an ass and asked me to delete his thread. Since it really didn't contain any useful lessons beyond "When Llorean tells you to do something, he's probably doing so for a reason" I decided to help him out.
21:45:30KCClike, can we use this 1,7mb for bigger and better things
21:45:33KCCin theory?
21:46:02LloreanKCC: It just gets used for audio buffer.
21:46:29LloreanKCC: There's already a relatively large amount of free memory that could be "used for bigger and better things", but you still want to free up as much spare as you can for audio buffer. It doesn't pay to be wasteful.

22:01:04LloreanFebs: Nobody reads the "POSTING IN THIS FORUMS" stickies (or many enough don't, at least), I'm not sure how many will actually see a "Common Problems" sticky, but we can try it, I suppose.
22:01:11dan_agm-frY: It looks like that theme needs a patched version of Rockbox
22:01:14linuxstbOr have a sticky which is just a link to a Troublshooting wiki or manual page.
22:01:50GodEaterI think we should invent a new badge
22:01:53Mikachumaybe to some stickies mean "start reading below this line"
22:01:57GodEaterthe "I didn't read the manual badge"

22:13:56LloreanLars_G: There's a particularly high ratio of "New user who hasn't read the manual" style questions, particularly "New user who's not familiar with the concept of reading explicit software manuals" questions.
22:14:29Lars_GLlorean: Sorry man, that's hard
22:14:40LloreanIt's the error: -1 ones that are getting to me.
22:15:13*n1s likes the "Where do I download Rockboy?" ones too ;-)
22:15:25LloreanI can almost understand the "Where do I download Rockboy" ones.
22:15:35LloreanThey come from reading the Rockboy section of the manual and NOT reading the header for the "Viewers" section
22:15:59LloreanBut the Error: -1 ones come from skipping the whole first half of the Installation section, and I'm not sure how people justify that one.
22:16:06n1syes but when you tell them they already have it they don't believe it because it's not in the liast
22:16:26*Soap thinks rockbox / rockdoom should be split off to a seperate website whose existance is denied. If people want it they can search it out, but Rockbox's hands get washed of it.
22:16:28n1sBut yes the -1 are nuber #1
22:16:44linuxstbLlorean: The -1 error can just be fixed with a line at the end of the bootloader install section saying "if you get -1, go back to 2.2.2..."
22:17:01AloneaSoap: Should I put in a thing to make sure you are upgraded to the 3.0 firmware before putting on rockbox? Or at least it is reccomended, I am even willing to put up the space for the US update. Though that might be illegal. I really don't know.
22:17:02SoapMuch like Netscape spun-off the Mozilla foundation, Rockbox could spin off the 1337GamesD00d foundation.
22:17:08GodEaterI prefer "if you get a -1, you *shouldn't* have skipped 2.2.2"
22:17:38SoapAlonea: gigabeat is not my fotre
22:17:42linuxstbBut it's not just skipping 2.2.2, some people would have done 2.2.2, but wrongly...
22:17:43n1sbtw I saw that LinusN added something about more descriptive error messages for the h300 bootloader todo
22:17:54Lloreanlinuxstb: A few of those have happened too.
22:18:12LloreanOne person said that it didn't say explicitly to do some sentence, and the sentence he wrote was almost word for word what was in the manual
22:18:17GodEaterI think it's clear that a lot our users don't know what "root of the device" means
22:18:22linuxstbe.g. using (imo broken) unzipping programs that add an extra folder.
22:18:25SoapAlonea: make a list of corrections to any and all issues you find. If someone has an issue with your changes they can discuss them / contact you before implementing them.

22:18:32FebsLlorean, was that the one where I respond with "are you kidding me?"
22:18:43n1sIMO this issue can only be solved by a rbutil that does everything
22:18:45GodEaterthe built in zip handling in XP SP2 does that
22:18:55AloneaSoap: I wonder if anyone who has a gigabeat has managed to get rockbox to work on the older firmware?
22:19:21linuxstbI wish GUIs didn't exist - we could just tell people to type "unzip rockbox.zip -d /mnt/ipod/"...
22:19:22LloreanFebs: Aye, It was rather ridiculous.
22:19:30dan_aPerhaps we should ask the people who are having the -1 errors to help us improve the instructions?
22:20:25Lloreandan_a: Generally few people continue to respond after their error is resolved.
22:20:30GodEaterHow about a summary sub-section at that start of the key bits of the manual
22:20:31linuxstbI think we just need step-by-step instructions which don't require people to think or make choices. e.g. force them to use a specific unzipping program.
22:20:33LloreanIt's hard to get callbacks on "How can we improve the manual"
22:20:44GodEaterkind of "in this section you will unzip the files to your device"
22:20:44GodEaterkind of thing
22:20:47GodEaterand then the hard detail
22:20:50Lloreanlinuxstb: I agree with that.

22:21:29Lloreanipodpatcher N -i rockbox.zip
22:22:11linuxstbipodpatcher doesn't know the drive letter (or mount point). But I guess it could incorporate the Rockbox FAT driver...
22:22:22Soaplinuxstb: regardless of the instructions, there are people who, when they see a file they recognize (.zip) will use stock tools to play with it.
22:22:27linuxstbBut rbutil is the place for that.
22:22:43sandeen_anybody have problems with horizontal lines staying on the ipod (4g) display?
22:22:44linuxstbIn fact, why not just refer people to rbutil to install rockbox.zip ?
22:22:48Soaprename the files .rbz and maybe they will use the tool you tell them to.
22:22:57toffeis there a way to insert a text file in the rockbox.zip so when you unzip it, you see the text files with some warning
22:23:00Lloreanlinuxstb: Actually, that's a good idea at this point.
22:23:17linuxstbAlthough it hasn't been compiled for the Mac yet...

22:23:48linuxstbMac users seem to have the most problems, as the .rockbox folder is hidden...
22:24:23GodEaterperhaps we should think of not using a . as the prefix ?
22:24:29GodEaterI know the idea is to hide it on the dap after install
22:24:44FebsHm. Manual says to press "Menu+Play" for disk mode.
22:24:51GodEaterbut presumably we could had code the name "rockbox" as a hidden file/dir

23:22:48amiconnOne is the settings patch...
23:22:57scorcheBut until then...
23:23:11amiconnAnother is the langv2 _cleanup_

23:23:54amiconnI'll look into that if no-one else volunteers... but it will take a while

23:32:27sk8deamonthe latest ipod photo version
23:32:50MikachuAlonea: if you write something in word, nobody will be able to actually read it :)
23:32:57bluebrotherAlonea, when submitting changes for the manual please use plain text. We need to reformat it anyway
23:33:23linuxstb_Alonea: If you're making significant changes, then it would really help if you tried to edit the original tex source files. They're very simple - just plain text files with a little markup for structure (similar in concept to html).
23:34:13sk8deamondan_a: is that not good downloading the latest version
23:34:14amiconnMikachu: AT least openoffice can open ms word files
23:34:46Aloneaok, I will, but don't get pissy with me if you get confused. How do I get ahold of these tex files? All I have is the pdf which is damn near impossible to copy paste from.
23:34:47dan_ask8deamon: It should be fine, but a few people have had problems today.
23:35:19dan_aYou can use the last daily build until we track down what those problems are
23:35:30bluebrotherAlonea, you'll need to get them from svn
23:35:55dan_aI wonder if this is an issue that Bagder needs to help us with...
23:35:58sk8deamondan_a: wut do u mean the last daily build. The one updated yesterday which had no changes
23:36:18Aloneabluebrother: Ok, I have cygwin and I have downloaded the source file. Its somewhere in there?
23:36:31sk8deamonsorry i actually just came accross rockbox today
23:36:32 Quit SUSaiyan (Read error: 104 (Connection reset by peer))
23:36:33dan_ask8deamon: Try http://download.rockbox.org/daily/ipodcolor/rockbox-ipodcolor-20070114.zip
23:36:41bluebrotheralso, we have a (maybe a bit technical) howto for working with the manual here: http://www.rockbox.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/ManualHowto
23:36:53sk8deamonk ty
23:36:54bluebrotherdo you have a folder called "manual"?
23:37:29Aloneayes, I am in manual, now what?
23:37:50bluebrotherok, there are the files. They are sorted by chapter
23:38:02linuxstb_Do you have a good text editor? i.e. something other than notepad/wordpad/Word ?
23:38:10bluebrotherso getting_started has the files for the Getting Started chapter

23:38:29bluebrotherusually those folders have a file called main.tex. This is the main file for the folder
23:38:49bluebrotherInsectoid, unless you want to deal with unix type files ;-)
23:38:56Insectoidunix2dos and dos2unix
23:39:00webguest95Hi
23:39:03Aloneawait, is it the gigabeatf.tex?
23:39:05webguest95Can someone please help
23:39:11bluebrotherin platform/
23:39:11Insectoidwe can try
23:39:15Aloneaask your question
23:39:36webguest95My installer is stuck at Finding UNC Path.. and Finding your iPod...
23:39:41webguest95It wont budge
23:39:44bluebrotherthe device specific definitions are inside of the platform/ folder
23:39:54linuxstb_webguest95: That doesn't sound like an official Rockbox installer.
23:40:16linuxstb_Where did you download it from?
23:40:38webguest95fileplanet or something
23:41:04linuxstb_If I was you, I would delete it and use the official installation instructions on www.rockbox.org
23:41:13InsectoidAnd probably run a virus scan
23:41:24webguest95I got it off here http://www.ipodwizard.net/showthread.php?t=8585
23:41:36webguest95By Kreator
23:41:52linuxstb_Ah, that's not _too_ bad. But if you're having problems you need to ask on those forums.
23:42:19linuxstb_i.e. that installer seems to work OK, but it's not written by us, so we can't help.
23:42:41webguest95Am I infected with a virus?!
23:42:52sk8deamondan_a would u mind if I PM you
23:43:16Aloneahell if I know. But that isn't ours. If you want rockbox, download from our site.
23:43:22linuxstb_webguest95: I can't say for certain, but that site is respectable, so I would doubt it.
23:43:45webguest95Does my iPod have to be in enable disc mode?
23:44:07linuxstb_Yes. Your computer can't talk to it otherwise.
23:44:18dan_ask8deamon: PM me if you want
23:45:10webguest95One last question. It says I need to make my iPod visible to Exporer what the heck is that and how do I do it?
23:45:31linuxstb_That means to click "enable disk mode" in itunes...

23:54:40amiconnWith the new memcpy, mp3 playback doesn't skip on my mini G2 even with all 5 eq bands enabled...
23:55:11linuxstb_I wonder what's using memcpy so much?
23:55:25webguest95Command Prompt is that big black box where you type things in right?
23:55:36linuxstb_Right.
23:55:38*dan_a loves easy performance gains
23:55:48amiconnBoost ratio shows 100%, but the pcm buffer stays nearly full (except when rebuffering, but even then - no skip)
23:55:52linuxstb_dan_a: I want one a week or you're sacked.
23:56:38dan_aOne a week? Damn, I need to bring my average up - I'm at 2 in total so far!
23:56:57Mikachumaybe we're paying you too much
23:57:20dan_aOr not enough... double my wages and see what happens!
23:57:29linuxstb_It's a deal.
23:57:31amiconnHmm, considering the speedup observed with memcpy, it might be more worthwile to asm optimise the ata sector copy....
23:57:50linuxstb_amiconn: I've been saying that for months...
23:57:50preglowamiconn: wow
23:58:01amiconnThat won't help boost ratio, but faster rebuffering saves battery
23:58:04linuxstb_(but never got round to it myself)
23:58:49linuxstb_An it will also help with skips that happen during rebuffering.
23:58:55linuxstb_^And
