00:13:40ricardomy ipod died
00:13:44markunNico_P: I guess the the gap between the status bar and the text will not look so good
00:13:49markunricardo: that sucks
00:14:03markunricardo: do you think you can still repair or are you looking for another player?
00:14:23Nico_Pmarkun: you're saying it's like that for alignment reasons ?

00:14:32markunI think so

00:15:42markunno
00:16:00markunwhy would they be?
00:16:07Nico_Peven LinusN agreed we could add a few cosmetic patches whilst waiting for viewports
00:16:28Nico_Pfrom what i understood they are more of a split screen feature
00:16:32markunI think we should just push amiconn hard enough so he does it :)

00:17:49Nico_Phow would viewports change this particular problem ? by having a viewport just for the progressbar ?
00:18:08markunNico_P: what will happen if the y-coord for the pb is lower than the text that came before it and after the pb is more text?
00:18:54markunNico_P: no, only a viewport for the text in the center and above the progressbar I would think
00:19:00markunso 3
00:19:11markuns/only/also/
00:19:26Nico_Pmarkun: i've never tried that... in fact it isn't my patch, i just rewrote it in a simpler way
00:19:44Nico_Pi suppose it's up to the WPS creator

00:37:05alkalineHey all i have a little prob with a ipod nano it won't start, but once plugged into a computer all it does is restart and restart, i tried the hold switch and menu and select trick but alas no good
00:37:07toedit's quite good, I think it's rated around 15k
00:37:26LloreanIsn't 7k assumed to be about the limit of computers anyway?
00:37:34toedI think so
00:37:51Lloreanalkaline: Select+Play for disk mode.
00:38:09toedbut AI isn't even necessary, if you had something that lets you play around on the board (thus allowing you to do problems) that would be wonderful as well

01:18:55safetydanAnd I think the lang cleanup savings around around 2000 bytes on the recorder. So we should be well under.

01:20:22LloreanIt's only on H100 anyway, though. Heh

01:23:32LloreanYeah, I guess it doesn't really hurt anything

01:26:26MonkeyTamerseems to be the case as I'm discovering
01:26:34MonkeyTamerfor certain platforms?
01:26:35toedis it possible to play or port ipodlinux games to rockbox? specifically, I'm looking at http://www.ipodlinux.org/Special:Module/igo
01:27:23safetydantoed, it's possible. Someone just has to step up and do it.
01:27:37Mikachuit's not much easier than porting something else to rockbox
01:27:40linuxstbtoed: You can port them, which will basically mean adapting to use the Rockbox plugin API instead of the Linux/POSIX API. But the Rockbox plugin API attempts to follow POSIX.

01:28:38toedI see, I imagine it's not a trivial thing to do though?
01:29:17JdGordonits pretty trivial
01:29:23safetydantoed, depending on your level skill with programming, it may or may not be.
01:29:24linuxstbNot trivial, but not that hard once you understand how Rockbox works.
01:29:26JdGordonthe worst part is any drawing code
01:29:40toedoh, I guess I'd have to port gnugo as well
01:29:47Mikachuit's trivial when you know how :)

01:41:52MonkeyTamerversions 70-80something were freeezing the ipod
01:42:09MonkeyTamerwith kop and without, but not anymore
01:42:29linuxstbI think that's just luck - some builds seem to (without obvious reason) work better than others.
01:42:43LloreanWell they shouldn't have been freezing _with_ KoC though
01:43:07MonkeyTamerthat's what was strange, but that was only for 1 day's worth of builds
01:43:34linuxstbLlorean: AFAIK, KoC doesn't completely fix the freezing.
01:44:09linuxstbAlthough possibly it's related to gcc version - the build server has just been upgraded to 4.0.3...
01:44:24MonkeyTamermy personal experience is for my ipod color, I've had zero freezes with kop with the exception of yesterday; the only exception is when I applied w1ll1am's patch to test it

02:40:11LloreanAh
02:40:12midkayi did look at the build log - everybody's running 4.0.3 now.
02:40:16LloreanYup
02:40:19LloreanIt's required now
02:40:25LloreanBut the new vmware image has it.
02:40:28midkaybut i didn't see any commit messages that introduced a requirement for it..
02:40:39LloreanOr you can jump through a couple really minor hoops to install it on your older one
02:41:00LloreanWell, if I recall, we didn't realize the commit required 4.0.3 (because many/most servers had it anyway) until after it went in.
02:41:20midkayremember which one it was?
02:41:30LloreanSorry
02:42:05midkayno prob, just curious.. thanks for pointing it out. (i did check the vmware page when i got the error, too. it hadn't yet been updated..)
02:42:12midgeyi think it was jdgordon's initial menu commit
02:42:40midgey4.0.1 builds fine here on my mac
02:42:56LloreanSo it's just 4.0.2 that doesn't work?
02:43:10midgeyi believe so, well at least i have no problems
02:44:40LloreanI do remember some mention of it being a bug in 4.0.2, but I wasn't sure if that was the same thing
02:45:44*safetydan is all for comitting partially working codecs :)
02:46:08safetydanThe public embarassment of having it not work is even more motivation to fix it
02:49:06LloreanIt's not even 'partially working' in my experience.
02:49:33LloreanIt 'works fine except with unreliable metadata' I would say. Which is kinda the state of AAC anyway, except I think this works better than it. :-P

02:51:12midgeytrue enough
02:51:38LloreanI think SPC's at the point where putting it in SVN means less time ever spent simply resyncing it.
02:52:14Lloreansafetydan: I still haven't managed to reproduce the pops on any but that one file.
02:52:18LloreanIt really irritates me.
02:53:20LloreanCan speex files be cut easily? Anyone know?
02:53:42safetydanWell they're just ogg streams, so if you can find an ogg cutting tool
02:54:10LloreanI was thinking of cutting around one of the noises and attaching it to the patch if the cut file still showed the symptom.
02:54:15Lloreanerr to the tracker entry

02:55:16midgeyspc is working a lot nicer than the last time I tried it
02:55:41LloreanI've been using it a lot, though on a gigabeat where performance isn't really able to be judged.
02:55:52safetydanLlorean, That'd be good actually. Though have you tried playing it in the sim? There's some debug code in there that might be printing out errors if there's something up with the stream.
02:56:17bkon linux you can use ogmtools (http://www.bunkus.org/videotools/ogmtools/) to split/merge Ogg streams
02:56:24Lloreansafetydan: I haven't tried it with the sim. I can't get audio to work in debian, and haven't got the tools to cross compile for windows set up.
03:00
03:08:09safetydanah well, if we can just get a stream snippet that reproduces the issue that'll be enough
03:08:31LloreanWell, next time Rasher's sims update I'll use one of those and try it.

03:34:10nickv111Hey guys. I'm having trouble with Rockbox on my 3g iPod. While I can play music and all, every few seconds, it stops playing, and then resumes
03:34:14nickv111It's a little choppy
03:34:33LloreanYes, the 3G iPod has some performance issues inherent in the hardware design.
03:34:40LloreanWe haven't found a good way to solve that problem yet.
03:34:45nickv111I see.
03:35:07nickv111Is that also the reason for the bad scroll wheel response?
03:35:17LloreanSomewhat, yes.
03:38:43nickv111Overall, I'm pretty happy with Rockbox, though. I may get another iPod for running it. Any plans on getting the Nano 2g working? Last I checked, nobody was really dedicated to it. Same story now?
03:39:46LloreanNobody has one.
03:39:53nickv111I see.
03:39:56LloreanIt's also a fairly large amount of work.
03:40:04nickv111What needs to be done?
03:40:29LloreanFigure out how to decrypt the firmware, figure out how to load our own firmware, write drivers for a large number of new undocumented pieces of hardware...
03:40:31LloreanBasically, everything
03:40:35LloreanIt's a whole new port, from scratch
03:40:39nickv111Wow.
03:40:58nickv111If I had a Nano, I'd offer to help
03:41:05nickv111But, then again, I don't.
03:41:41*nickv111 ponders what he could do to help
03:42:01LloreanReally it needs probably several very dedicated people with the hardware.
03:42:21nickv111I know of one person with a 2g Nano, but I doubt he'd be willing to mess with it too much
03:42:21LloreanIf you want a modern flash based player for Rockbox, wait until the Sansa e200 has audio, probably
03:43:12safetydanCan the 3g nano play smoothly without the peak meters?
03:43:24Lloreansafetydan: I think _sometimes_
03:44:28nickv111So what's usually the process to start a new port?
03:44:32nickv111I mean, I wouldn't even know where to start
03:44:55nickv111Crack open the case and see what kind of components it has?
03:45:10nickv111Look up specifications?
03:45:16nickv111I'm just seeing where I'd even begin.
03:46:39LloreanWell, the first two things that need to be done (really in either order) is figure out exactly what all the hardware is in it, and gather datasheets for any that's documented, and figure out how to load your own firmware onto the device (what is necessary, are the files encrypted/signed, etc)
03:47:19nickv111To load your own firmware onto the device. . . Isn't that just overwriting your boot partition?
03:49:30LloreanThat just puts your firmware in place.
03:49:51LloreanBut for example on the 2nd generation Nano, the bootloader expects the firmware to be encrypted in a certain way
03:50:18LloreanSo, we need to either figure out how to encrypt our firmware in the right way for the bootloader to load it, or figure out if there's a way like on the Sansas for us to tell it to expect an unencrypted file
03:51:03nickv111Hmm. . .

04:13:05scubacolesIs there a reason why the .rockbox folder is built as a hidden file?
04:13:49TrueJournalsscubacoles: some operating systems hide folders with their first character being a .
04:13:50LloreanSo it doesn't show up as clutter during normal browsing, and so it's less likely to accidentally be modified on the device?
04:14:25TrueJournalsWhat Llorean said... :-p
04:15:03LloreanGenerally speaking, a user shouldn't be browsing into it during normal use.
04:18:23scubacolesMy annoyance with it is more due to MacOS Finder's insistence on overwriting the entire folder in an upgrade rather than just overwriting each component within the folder.
04:19:04LloreanWhat's the difference?
04:19:10LloreanDoes it delete files that aren't present in the new one, or something?
04:19:29scubacolesI have to view Hidden Folders and manuall drag across all but the wps, themes and config folders, otherwise I lose all data in those folders...
04:19:35scubacolesmanually
04:19:57midgeyfinder likes to delete the whole folder and then add the new one
04:20:01midgeyits quite annoying
04:20:02scubacolesOne thing that Windows Explorer does much better
04:20:31LloreanBeing unhidden would fix that for some reason?
04:20:39midgeynope
04:20:45scubacolesand to view hidden folders, you need a 3rd party app
04:20:54midgeycommand line works the best here
04:21:09scubacoleswithout viewing hidden folders you can't browse to .rockbox
04:21:52midgeyyou can do "go to folder" in finder
04:21:59scubacolesyeah command line would work fine, but I'm very much a command line novice...
04:22:05midgeyits just not convenient
04:23:14scubacolesI'll try the "go to folder" method on my next update.

04:25:00LloreanThat's a horrible... well... whatever does that.
04:25:25scubacoleswell using Stuffit to extract does anyway, I haven't tried any other archive utilities (if they exist)
04:25:56scubacolesmaybe .rockbox could not include those folders??
04:26:16TrueJournalsHey, I just wanted to let everyone know about my GUI program to encode videos for rockbox. Check it out at http://www.misticriver.net/showthread.php?t=51189
04:26:22Llorean .rockbox doesn't have a config folder.
04:26:23TrueJournals(Just updated it...)
04:26:35LloreanAs for themes and wpses, how would you suggest we go about distributing the default ones?
04:26:42midgeyscubacoles: honestly your best bet is terminal (command line)
04:26:56LloreanIt seems that Rockbox shouldn't be blamed for bad tools. :-P
04:27:08midgeylets say rockbox.zip is your build and your device is at /Volumes/H300

04:36:53Lloreanbusa_blade: Yes.
04:37:01*twisted` cries
04:37:29safetydanIf you think about it makes sense. It basically treats directories like files and allows you to overwrite them. Though this particular feature is a source of major holy wars between the Windows way and the Mac way.
04:37:38busa_bladeLlorean: what OS did you install rockbox from?
04:37:43Lloreantwisted`: Convert your iPod, keep a large secondary HFS+ partition for your giant files.
04:38:22Lloreansafetydan: It seems to me the simplest solution would be "Do you wish to overwrite the whole folder, merge contents giving the new folder priority, or cancel?"
04:38:24safetydanI'd also support having user configurable stuff outside of .rockbox. You should be able to blow away and restore .rockbox without affecting your settings.

04:43:07Lloreansafetydan: Honestly, it seems to make more sense to require a manual delete first than to require a much more tedious manual merge, but I come from a windows background so while I'm biased in favour of 'less work' I may not see it properly
04:46:27safetydanIt is less work for that one scenario, since it saves you from having to delete the folder first. If you actually want to merge the contents, then you're on your own in the Mac world.
04:47:00LloreanIs deleting a folder on mac as simple as clicking it, hitting a key, and choosing "Yes"?
04:48:00safetydanLlorean, I would assume so. Though I imagine most people would drag the folder to the trash rather than use the keyboard.

04:48:20nickv111Hey, when a plugin does something like, "#include "math.h"", is that relative to firmware/include?
04:49:23safetydannickv111, it's relative to a few places. I forget the exact order, but current directory is one of them, along with firmware/include
04:49:33nickv111Okay. Thanks
04:49:47nickv111Well, calculator.c seems to define a few constants that are already defined in math.h. . .

04:51:01nickv111Same.

04:51:42nickv111And PI is redundant because there's M_PI
04:53:25safetydannickv111, you can always try including math.h and find out
04:53:40nickv111#include "math.h" is already there
04:53:58nickv111So whoever coded this defined PI and such, instead of using math.h's constants

04:55:59safetydannickv111, the calculator plugin hasn't had any calcuation related changes for nearly 2.5 years, so it's probably just bitrot resulting in PI being used instead of M_PI

07:15:06midgeyoh and are all spc supposed to be 3:05 in length?
07:15:21Lloreanmidgey: That's bad tagging
07:15:37LloreanThey have to be tagged with a proper length, or they default to that.
07:15:46LloreanOr so I've been led to understand
07:15:50hcstrue
07:15:52midgeyhmm can't say i've used spc before this

07:21:08jhMikeShcs: if it turns out that it really needs to have globals for coldfire, it will need a header with the shared declarations outside of spc.c to compile

07:25:21LloreanIs genre restricted to an int?
07:25:25LloreanOr char?
07:25:35bagawkthat would make sense to me, you are at the limit of a unsigned char
07:25:43hcschar, I think, and that's what the other metadata setters use by default
07:26:11LloreanI thought you could have arbitrary genres with some formats.
07:26:21LloreanI thought the char was just ID3v1
07:26:37LloreanNot that it matters in this case, since I guess there's not an Genre tag for these files. :)
07:26:50hcswell, I take it that if there's a genre string somewhere and it's unset it'll just use the id3 thingy, which we set to unknown
07:27:03hcsand I should probably do this for SID, NSF, and ADX, too

07:29:33midgeyone of my dreamcast games I attempted to back up to my hdd years ago
07:29:46jhMikeShcs: I'm not trying to complicate things...but to make it work all things need to be defined in spc.c before including either header since then Spc_Dsp.h has to know about spc_emu.
07:29:47hcshm, that ought to work
07:29:48midgeyno idea if I did it right
07:30:32jhMikeSif it ends up not really mattering, then it's all moot anyway :)

07:39:22LloreanIt sounds cynical, but at least it provides incentive.
07:40:13hcswell, as I've said before, I feel it just harms the image of rockbox unnecessarily
07:40:44LloreanWell, then why not delist it as a supported target, categorize it as 'experimental'?
07:41:24*jhMikeS knows about the difficulty of getting serious testers for bug fixing
07:41:34LloreanI think a non-freezing version with even poorer battery life than the other PP targets isn't exactly good for the image either.
07:41:54LloreanIn the case of the Gigabeat, at 300mhz I understand it gets comparable battery life to the retail firmware.
07:42:17LloreanNot scaling is actually, apparently, 'doing it the right way'
07:42:35LloreanAnd there tends to be a lot of emphasis on 'doing it the right way' around here, it seems. ;)

07:47:02perldivercorrect

07:48:24perldiverthe whole sequence takes about 6 seconds for me now, from POWER button to WPS
07:48:55hcsjhMikeS: the SPC700 can have 256 samples in memory to look up, but certain games (Doom) change this mapping in realtime

07:51:06perldiverOF boot was around 5 seconds
07:52:06LloreanWas that from a suspend-like state, or after a full battery poweroff?
07:52:31perldiverfull battery poweroff
07:52:34jhMikeShcs: ok, but a simple captured image like an .spc file doesn't do that. you need another cpu to send that data, right?
07:52:50perldiver"hibernation" mode gives around 3 to 4
07:53:14hcsjhMikeS: no, it can be changed by the SPC, there is a table for the address where each of the 256 samples starts
07:53:14amiconnperldiver: Then it's the first of I know of that actually boots quite fast...

07:55:07LloreanWhich really has unbeatable boot time.
07:57:03perldiverim sure a flashed gigabeat might compete with that
07:57:18jhMikeShcs: I was asking about it regarding the spc file itself somehow changing the samples from one set to another completely different one (say, an spc file with 300 samples). it doesn't appear to operate that way. once it has cached the max 256 entries, there won't be any more in an spc file iiuc. sure, the game program can change them.
07:57:27amiconnYou cannot really compare flash with hdd based players wrt boot time

08:15:19hcshave you done any comparisons with decode_brr inlined vs. not?
08:15:20jhMikeSI know I need to do more reading (and asking) but how is a loop address determined from the 9 byte block? It only seemed to have a flag that said to loop it.
08:16:11jhMikeSI inlined the head of it but not the more rarely executed decoder and it made no difference

08:52:39amiconnIf you're referring to 4.0.3 it would be ok for coldfire
08:53:17amiconnBoost while playback doesn't change for most codec, vawpack would profit from 4.0.3

08:54:12decayedcellwhy is that amiconn
08:54:23jhMikeSunless it's the defacto version for coldfire I guess I can't rely on any improvments in it
08:55:10amiconnGcc 4.1.x is stupid: it always passes the cpu type to gas. But gcc doesn't know the 5249 and 5250, so we compile with -m5206e
08:55:41jhMikeShcs: see anything that would matter for arm? I guess if it doesn't hurt it at least it's definitely good for cf.
08:55:43amiconnBut gas knows about the 5249, and we need to pass it the true cpu type

08:59:32amiconnsafetydan: Not by me, and I won't do that
08:59:51amiconnThe gcc team isn't very cooperative :(

09:00:11Slasherihmm, i just found an easy solution to the tagcache endianess correction. Just create two functions ec_read and ec_write, which would act similar to read/write but take two extra parameters: structure alignment as a string, "lss" for "long,short,short" for example and the second parameter if endianess should be changed
09:00:17jhMikeSamiconn: If it makes better code for coldfire in 4.0.3 than 3.4.6 then I'm for it
09:00:20safetydanI remember you had some trouble with them before with a SH1 change they made.
09:01:21jhMikeSbtw, since I got the x5 back I've noticed wierd lcd behavior on x5 that booting an old build with a new bootloader doesn't have
09:01:41amiconnsafetydan: It wasn't an SH1 change, but a general change they introduced with gcc 4.0.0
09:02:38amiconn(but which hit rockbox on SH only; there's now a workaround - the problematic part is now completely hidden from gcc, i.e. pure asm)
09:03:44amiconnsafetydan: And that was not the only problem I had with gcc...

09:20:28Bletch__hi, apologies if this question is slightly idiotic but I can't find the answer in the FAQs or in the docs - and google hasn't been much help either: How does one get out of the audio thread debug menu on an ipod nano?
09:23:17Mikachupress left or menu iirc
09:23:26Mikachusometimes it is a bit stubborn

09:23:52Bletch__just not the audio one
09:24:03Bletch__same with my iriver, except I know how to get out of it on that

09:40:54linuxstbIt's generally not used because there's no reason to.

09:43:24safetydanWell there goes that theory. Fixed-point version of speexdec works with my "broken" speex files. Now to find out why Rockbox is special.
09:44:12Winchester345well.... since it gives 8 directions..... could be used as a mouse..... but that's really unnessesary...... I was just wondering 'cause I never noticed it being used
09:44:24Mikachuactually it gives 96 directions

10:07:26linuxstbWinchester345: Rockbox running directly from flash-ROM
10:07:50JdGordonso we are 3700 bytes over atm
10:07:53Winchester345wasn't.... something like that done using scrambler or am I way off?
10:08:22JdGordonwhich means once safetydan's lang fixes are in and the menus are done we should be well under

10:09:28Winchester345I'll take that as I am way off
10:10:23JdGordonscrambler is for the iriver bootroms
10:10:39jhMikeShcs: neither using globals instead of "this" nor the larger buffer the make any difference as is. But it does play at 95% boost all in c where it would've needed about 105% - 110% before.

10:17:45jhMikeSI'll post it for you though. I'll post those revisions after I get some rest. You can see if there's a difference any more going either way.
10:18:10hcsok, thanks
10:18:19jhMikeSUsing the pointers makes the code about .3k larger though
10:18:22amiconnlinuxstb: The flash loader is the first thing run (from the flash). It's rather tiny, about 3KB. The flash loader is what allows to choose between main & alternate image (i.e. rockbox and bootbox). It also contains the ucl decompressor
10:18:39hcsjhMikeS: I think I'll get a cleaned-up version of spc36 committed tonight
10:19:22amiconnBootbox is a cut-down rockbox, with only rolo, usb support (and charging on the rec v1)
10:19:50amiconnBoth flash loader and bootbox together are comparable to the swcodec bootloaders

10:59:34AbcminiuserI thought it was just PWMing the cells?
11:00
11:00:02AbcminiuserYou have a defined framerate, then the more each cell is turned on inside that framerate, the darker it appears?
11:00:28AbcminiuserSo if you are showing at 60Hz, and have a cell that's off 1/2 the time, it's 1/2 as dark as its neighbours?
11:00:29hcsthus, temporal dithering
11:00:34Winchester345and.... how come the plugin doesn't seem to compile for mini 2g while it says on the plugin page it suppports mini?
11:00:46Winchester345hmm.... clever.
11:01:13AbcminiuserMy AVR works have taught me something it seems :)
11:01:30Winchester345heh
11:01:43hcsPWM = Pulse Width Modulation, I guess, but what's AVR?
11:02:15AbcminiuserYes, PWM = Pulse Width Modulation, and AVR is a type of Microcontroller made by Atmel
11:02:36AbcminiuserBasically, a non-crap PIC - better speeds, better architecture, etc
11:03:35Winchester345so.... how come I don't seem to have the greyscale demo on the 2g mini?
11:05:41Winchester345....... is it something I said? >.>
11:06:03amiconnWinchester345: grayscale.rock isn't compiled by default. It's more or less just a demo, intended for devs
11:06:23Winchester345so how would I get it to compile?
11:06:27amiconnThere are several plugins which use the grayscale lib: mandelbrot, jpeg viewer, doom, ...
11:06:42amiconnYou need to add it to apps/plugins/SOURCES
11:07:43Winchester345no such dir.... O_o
11:08:05Winchester345grayscale.c seems to be in the plugins folder though

11:29:37GodEater_yeah I was hunting for %e too - can't find it anywhere in the wiki
11:30:02ppeomI apply multi font patch..
11:30:17markunThose Gigabeat kids with their custom bootsplashes :) http://img46.imageshack.us/img46/2096/bootsplash2nk7.png
11:30:33ppeomThat's tag multi font tag.. I don't know 70 mean..
11:30:52markunppeom: ask the multi font patch creator
11:30:54GodEater_markun: niceeeeeee ;)
11:31:08ppeomkekeke..
11:31:12ppeomwho's make?
11:31:28markun'Amar' from mygigabeat.com
11:31:29directhex|workooh. multi font? sounds swish
11:31:51Avehm maybe I should change to rockboxdev.sh afterall
11:31:53ppeomyes.. Jclix theme use it font..
11:32:12markunI wonder why the patch creators don't come here to talk about the future of rockbox but instead just work on their own things
11:32:32bkmultifont is a dead end
11:32:37bkbut it was fun to do
11:32:44markunin what way dead end?
11:32:59markunThe implementation is not good?
11:32:59bkbecause it uses a ton of RAM and ends up being fairly slow
11:33:04markunaha
11:33:06linuxstbmarkun: Do you know the font cache code?
11:33:15markunlinuxstb: a little. I know it's very slow :)
11:33:21bkthe current font code is very crufty
11:33:23ppeombk.. only ipod?
11:33:38linuxstb:( ... Do you think it could be extended to add multiple fonts?
11:33:51bklinuxstb: not easily
11:34:02linuxstbBut would that be the "right" approach?
11:34:05bkthe LRU stuff is painful to read through
11:34:11directhex|workbk, how much is a ton, assuming execution on a ridiculously overpowered player?
11:34:14markunbk, linuxstb: yes, I've though a lot about how to do a better implementation, but it's not so easy to do fast and not waste RAM
11:35:05bkdirecthex|work: (# of fonts) x (buffer size), buffer size with my patch was somewhere around 40kb
11:35:16markunlinuxstb: the biggest problem with glyph caching (especially with multiple fonts) is that they vary a lot in size
11:35:41linuxstbSo you get a fragmented cache?
11:36:02bkit's just not designed for variable size entries
11:36:02directhex|worki'd be happy enough if WPS font and menu font could differ
11:36:07markunlinuxstb: not right now, because for every glyph the space of the biggest one is used
11:36:10directhex|workwell. i'm happy enough now
11:36:19linuxstbmarkun: OK, I see the issue...
11:36:40markunlinuxstb: and if you load a 2nd font with even bigger glyphs..
11:38:09markunalso, for ever glyph printed, I think a linked list is traversed and some pointers changed to have a LRU implementation. I hope we can make the glyph lookup a bit more efficient.
11:39:08bkI tend to think glyph lookup should be pushed down to the loader code which probably involves totally rewriting the font code
11:39:36markunThe code was written by one of the chinese rockbox users, but they showed very little interest when I was working on unicode and used the code.
11:40:01markunbk: which loader code?
11:40:34bkmarkun: the disk font loading routines, instead of the higher level font cache stuff
11:41:09bkwith most fonts we don't have the memory to load the whole thing, then search for glyphs
11:41:13markunI still don't get what you want to do. Get rid of the font caching?

11:43:42bkhm
11:43:49bkperhaps
11:44:13markunwill your implementation be faster and/or use less RAM?
11:44:45bkthat would be the goal
11:45:08bkI'm not interested in maintaining big patches indefinitely

15:11:22markun|Rincewind|: try "svn revert -R ./" and then "svn up"
15:12:04|Rincewind|I did that, but i didn't trust it and did a "rm -rf *" afterwards ^^
15:12:12Mikachujust check the output of svn diff
15:12:21***Saving seen data "./dancer.seen"
15:14:29|Rincewind|it would make more sense to have the root menu be the root (espesially if we want database to behave the same as the browser)
15:15:04markun|Rincewind|: why?
15:15:06|Rincewind|but I don't know that code very well, so don't listen to me
15:15:40markunif they don't go to the menu if you press left it will still be the same behaviour
15:15:52|Rincewind|then the root menu would be call the other screens and is the central point in rockbox
15:15:59|Rincewind|-be
15:16:21markunit will be the central point anyway, even if you have to go there with the menu button
15:16:45markunI just think it's more consistant because it's the only way to go there from the WPS
15:17:19 Quit GodEater_ ("CGI:IRC (Ping timeout)")
15:17:19markunIt's more like a teleporter screen that way :)
15:17:35|Rincewind|I was thinking code wise, currently the wps and the menu exit to the file browser, if I rember correctly
15:17:43JdGordonLinusN: had a play with it yet?
15:17:55LinusNJdGordon: waiting for that damn cygwin crap
15:18:05JdGordonstill wow :p
15:18:10JdGordonhavnt you got ccache installed?
15:18:12markun|Rincewind|: no, the menu either exits to the file browser or the WPS, depending where you called it from
15:18:36LinusNJdGordon: nope, maybe i should try it
15:18:37amiconnJdGordon: ccache makes things worse on cygwin
15:18:48LinusNamiconn: really? wow!
15:18:50JdGordonoh, ouch
15:18:51markunLinusN: switch to vmware like the rest :)
15:18:56JdGordonor colinux
15:19:03amiconnThe problem is the windows filesystem layer, not cygwin itself
15:19:31Mikachuso compiling things in say msvc is slow too?
15:19:31*JdGordon hopes it was ok to crosspost a message on both ml's
15:19:44|Rincewind|markun, ok, I don't know what I am talking about and possibly it doesn't matter anyway
15:19:58amiconnmarkun: I am still using cygwin for building rockbox most of the time, even though I have both vmware and a real linux box available
15:20:11JdGordonamiconn: isnt there a gcc option to use pipes for all the intermediate data instead of files? would that help on cygwin?
15:20:31Mikachusurely everyone has -pipe in their cflags by default?
15:20:34markunamiconn: but you are more conservative than the rest so I didn't expect anything else :)
15:20:43amiconnIt's simply more convenient to use cygwin when using a windows editor
15:20:55Mikachu(does windows support pipes though?)
15:20:59amiconnOf course it does
15:21:21Mikachui don't know why it's of course, but okay
15:21:43amiconnmarkun: This has nothing to do with being conservative, but with being convenient
15:21:58Mikachudoes rockbox use -pipe in cygwin then?
15:22:00markunok ok :)
15:22:35*JdGordon doesnt see CFLAGS being set in the makefile
15:23:10markunamiconn: I've never used either vmware nor cygwin so I shouldn't give any advice anyway
15:23:20MikachuJdGordon: just run make V=1
15:23:29amiconnPerhaps I'll change to a compile-only mini vm soon
15:23:41amiconn(without x11)
15:24:38JdGordonamiconn: strip x out of the colinux image and have it running in the background, the use it exaclty like you would a remote linux box (samba and ssh) and your good
15:24:43barrywardellJdGordon: The H10 OF uses a fairly intuitive root menu type system. It calls them Music, FM Radio, Recording, Photo, Text, Browser, Settings.
15:24:50barrywardellMusic is the database mode
15:25:17JdGordonI dont like Music for database.. wont that confuse ppl looking for the wps?
15:25:24amiconnJdGordon: I was thinking about doing that, just with vmware instead of colinux
15:25:48SlasheriLibrary would be nice
15:25:49markunbarrywardell: and how do you navigate from the different items to this menu?
15:25:58markunSlasheri: yes, it would
15:25:59JdGordonthe reason I said colinux is because it can run it as a windows service, and not worry about it if you dont need it, its always ready for you
15:26:08barrywardellpushing left enough times always brings you back to the root
15:26:32markunbarrywardell: and how do you get to and from the WPS screen?
15:26:52barrywardellget to the WPS screen by pressing play
15:27:13barrywardellpressing left in the wps screen brings you back to the Music/Browser screen
15:27:54*LinusN likes the root menu
15:27:59markunin that case it's pretty good yes. But I don't think we want to change left to do the same in our WPS
15:28:15barrywardellif you go to the WPS by pressing play, left brings you to the screen you were in before the WPS
15:28:32|Rincewind|I think left reverts the track in wps?
15:28:38markunyes
15:28:40amiconnurgh, contextual buttons :(

15:29:23 Quit ppeom (Read error: 104 (Connection reset by peer))
15:29:34|Rincewind|a rockbox where every button does the same in every screen wouldn't be very usable...
15:29:34JdGordondoes CFLAGS=-pipe enable or disable pipes?
15:29:42amiconnI think the root menu should be called with the menu button, from all screens
15:29:50markunamiconn: yes, me too
15:30:21amiconnLikewise, the menu button should be usable for quickly leaving the whole menu tree, returning where you came from
15:30:25LinusNhmmm, somehow selecting "Files" now always takes me to the wps...
15:30:31barrywardellyes, agreed.
15:31:22JdGordonLinusN: it does? wierd :p
15:31:23barrywardellwhat should happen when you "back out" of the WPS? back to database/file browser?
15:31:40markunbarrywardell: you can't back out :)
15:31:44amiconnbarrywardell: Back out how?
15:31:45markunonly to the root menu
15:31:51markunwith the menu button
15:31:52JdGordonbarrywardell: if you press select, it will put you in the last browser, if you press menu it will put you in the root menu
15:32:06barrywardelli mean, where do you go from the wps?
15:32:14|Rincewind|JdGordon: recording screen is now duplicated in the main menu and the root menu
15:32:22JdGordoni know
15:32:44JdGordonim going to leave that temporarily, because its more hassle to remove now than when i get to that menu in the reworking...
15:32:49barrywardellJdGordon's answer is what I was thinking. "back out" was the wrong term
15:33:10markunwell, I don't think select should do that in the WPS
15:33:26JdGordonthats what it does currently... im open to suggestions tho
15:33:32JdGordondo we need an extra button in the wps?
15:33:48barrywardelli think it should be possible to go from the wps to either the root menu or the current play track in the database/file browser
15:33:58|Rincewind|jdGordon: I like it that you like my suggestion I made in the flyspray comment. That would be the first idea of mine that makes it into rockbox :)
15:34:30JdGordon:)

15:35:24JdGordonhaha
15:35:38bluebrotherJdGordon: but how should the browser behave if you press left from the browser's root?
15:35:47JdGordonim not sure
15:36:07JdGordonim split between doing nothing and going to the root menu
15:36:07bluebrotherrequire you to press the menu button to call the menu? If you consider the "root" menu as a root it should (logically) go back to that menu
15:36:23bluebrotherOTOH I don't like that, as it breaks hold-left-to-root
15:36:45bluebrotherand will make it harder for the blind people, as they might find themselves in some menu instead of the browser
15:36:47JdGordonI can get around that
15:36:59JdGordonI can force it to stop at / even if left is held down
15:37:06*JdGordon praises the action system :D
15:37:15|Rincewind|if holding left puts you back to root of file browser and a second press of left goes to root menu then I think that blind users could navigate with this, too
15:37:18LinusNi'd like the root menu to have a different look than the other menus
15:37:25bluebrotherbut what if you press left a couple of times quickly? Me does this sometimes ...
15:37:33LinusNmaybe that could be made with a different backdrop
15:37:53bluebrotherput the RB logo in it ;-)
15:38:03bluebrother(as backdrop)
15:38:08JdGordonI want to give that menu the clef icon...
15:38:15JdGordoncan anyone draw one at 6x8 size?
15:38:19bluebrotherhmm, nice idea.
15:38:23LinusNJdGordon: lol
15:38:38bluebrothershouldn't we consider using icons in different sizes?
15:38:46|Rincewind|well, if you moved too far, then you can push right once and you are back in the file browser root
15:38:54markunLinusN: and maybe some icons?
15:38:57bluebrotherwhile 6x8 is nice on my h120 its kindof tiny on ipod video etc.
15:39:01LinusNbluebrother: we've been considering that for years :-)
15:39:06barrywardellthe H10 OF has a different backdrop for each item in the root menu. probably a bit excessive
15:39:16LinusNmarkun: sounds nice
15:39:18bluebrotheruse a clef as backdrop ;-)
15:39:18 Join n1s [0] (n=nils@nl104-202-175.student.uu.se)
15:39:34bluebrotheryou could make it as light as possible for the 2bpp devices
15:39:41JdGordonno, I dont think we need to make it any different
15:39:43|Rincewind|a backdrop on h120 would make the text very hard to read
15:40:00bluebrothernot if you design the backdrop carefully
15:40:51JdGordonLinusN: also, the root menu code is the same stuff that drives every other menu.. so hacking its looks will be annoying and bloaty...
15:40:52markunJdGordon: would be nice if the whole menu could be centered (if the text fits of course)
15:40:52bluebrotherJdGordon: how about this: if the startup screen is set to file browser, left from the file browser root doesn't leave it but requires you to use the menu button
15:41:11|Rincewind|even black text on light gray is difficult to read, The only possible backdrop that i can imagine is a border, but that's not easy with different font sizes
15:41:21bluebrotherand if the Rockbox menu is set as startup screen allow left to go "up" to the Rockbox menu
15:41:36bluebrothercould work the same way for the database browser
15:41:43JdGordonmarkun: that would need work in the list widget (which probably should happen), but wouldnt work so well atm
15:41:49LinusNmarkun: i was just about to say that
15:42:05|Rincewind|bluebrother: with that you are mixing setttings that don't have do do with each other
15:42:06JdGordonbluebrother: that could work...
15:42:08markunwould the viewports make this easier?
15:42:15JdGordonprobably not
15:42:24bluebrother|Rincewind|: why am I mixing settings?
15:42:59|Rincewind|startup screen and left from file browser are two different things, imho
15:43:02LinusNbluebrother: "startup screen" is only supposed to set which screen is displayed when you start the player, not to set a virtual root
15:43:08markunamiconn: how are the viewports supposed to work? Do you give them a fixed size and position?
15:43:23JdGordonits a bit premature asking that isnt it?
15:43:30bluebrotherI know, but that could be somewhat abused to set that behaviour too
15:43:41LinusNbluebrother: "abused" being the work
15:43:44LinusNword
15:44:09JdGordonso are we agreeing that the only way out of the browsers is with the menu button?
15:44:31JdGordoni mean.... uh... damn.. need sleep
15:44:37|Rincewind|and play to go out of the browser and enter wps
15:44:40markunJdGordon: I do
15:44:56bluebrotherJdGordon: I think this will be confusing to users that prefer the root menu as real screen root.
15:45:13bluebrotherunless we consider the root menu being the new main menu, and not a root for all screens
15:45:16JdGordonhow about, if we get complaints we change it then? ;p
15:45:25|Rincewind|would it hurt to make this an option?
15:45:27bluebrotherhehe ... sounds good
15:45:28peturindeed, that way it's no longer a root but you moved browser into the old menu
15:45:37markunbluebrother: new main menu would be my vote
15:46:02bluebrotherIMO we shouldn't make a new root menu that is root of all screens but instead have a new main menu
15:46:03n1sI'd like the root menu to be the root menu so to speak
15:46:18*JdGordon i getting so confused
15:46:19bluebrother(which is why I find this "root" naming a bit confusing)
15:46:46|Rincewind|if the root menu is the new main menu then it's not a change, just a reorder of things and naming it different
15:47:16bluebrother|Rincewind|: no, as it now also allows to access other screens it didn't allow before (because of design reasons)
15:47:33bluebrotherbut it's still a usual menu, similar as before.
15:47:49n1snow _that_ would be confusing IMO
15:48:19 Part LinusN
15:48:29markunn1s: why?
15:48:57bluebrotherI think I'd prefer simply a new menu like the current "root" menu
15:49:01n1sif you are in the menu, press left to fileborwser, right doesn't go back
15:49:21markunn1s: no, left in the menu will not do anything
15:49:29bluebrother... that new main menu shouldn't go back to something with left
15:49:49bluebrotherbut instead it should be possible leaving that menu from any point using the menu button
15:49:53n1sIMO if it is the _root_ then left should do nothing, just as left in the filebrowser root does nothing currently
15:49:57markunbut of course there will be a patch to call the WPS when you press left :)
15:50:10n1sof course ;-)

15:58:20*JdGordon agrees
15:58:20markunbluebrother: true :)
15:58:38markunbut it could start in the background :)
15:58:40bluebrother_but_ you could just create a new playlist, start playback (like it currently does) and _not_ switch to wps
15:58:47|Rincewind|having buttons on the player and not using them to navigate quickly would be a waste
15:58:54bluebrotherthat might make pretty much sense as well.
15:59:16JdGordonway too many points to argue on in the patch :p
15:59:29markun|Rincewind|: I just think that navigation should be more unifform
15:59:52bluebrotherso, the screens could only change by play (always to wps), menu (always to the menu)
16:00
16:00:14bluebrotherselect always selects, and all other screens are accessible through the new Rockbox menu
16:00:25|Rincewind|I'm ok with uniformism: PLAY -> WPS, MENU -> root menu, SELECT -> browser/database −− from everywhere
16:00:32markunbluebrother: and play in the WPS goes back to the previous screen?
16:00:44JdGordonno play would pause then
16:00:46bluebrotherwith perhaps adding an additioinal shortcut to the recording screen for devices that have a dedicated recording button
16:01:01bluebrotherno, as play is also pause we would need to make an exception here and use select for that
16:01:10markunand the Gigabeat select pauses
16:01:10markuns/and/on/
16:01:39amiconnThere are more exceptions on certain targets
16:01:54bluebrotherhow do you go back to the browser on the gigabeat then?
16:02:25markunbluebrother: with the same button as you use to enter it (power button)
16:02:45markunwhich might be changed to be the 'a' button
16:03:33bluebrotherhmm. Makes sense, but not for targets that label the play button play/pause
16:04:39markunyes, the labels force you to use the buttons in some ways
16:04:56|Rincewind|I don't think we should stick to the labels, because the Hxx doesn't have a menu button, so we would have no way to enter the root menu...
16:05:25markuntrue
16:05:37bluebrotherthe h100 has a menu button −− the one we currently use
16:05:43bluebrotherlabelled "mode" iirc
16:06:14bluebrotherwe should stick to the buttons where it makes sense, and if the play button is labelled play/pause we should use that button to pause playback
16:06:21|Rincewind|yes, but mode isn't the same as menu, and in the OF the menu was on long select if I remember correctly
16:06:25bluebrothereverything else would just confuse the users
16:06:49peturh3x0 OF uses REC longpress for its 'root' menu
16:07:08bluebrotherwe don't have any "mode" function, so I think it's perfectly ok to reuse that button for menu

16:08:24Phalangeeswhy is stop really needed??
16:08:35|Rincewind|Not using the play/pause button for something more useful in a non-WPS screen just because it is labeled play/pause is a case of "following blindly" for me
16:09:12bluebrotherI'm not speaking of a screen where it makes sense to reuse that button.
16:09:17 Quit perplexity ("Check out my rear window")
16:09:32bluebrotherI'm speaking of screens where we currently don't use it otherwise (like the menu) and wps
16:10:22JdGordoncan we change the rockbox logo to use a different not so it is easier to make a icon out of it? :D
16:10:46peturhaving playback control when _not_ in a WPS is a must... I even miss volume control :/
16:11:01Mikachui moved volume control to the quick screen, yay me
16:11:24*JdGordon thinks the quickscreen is next to get overhauled after this
16:12:00markunpetur: the Gigabeat has dedicated volume buttons which we would like to be able to use from all screens to change the volume
16:12:19peturI can understand that
16:12:41markunbut for some plugins it's nice to reuse them
16:12:50Mikachuthat seems sort of hard unless you change the volume from the button driver
16:12:53JdGordonok, im going to bed... if anything is agreed on while im sleeping put it in the fs page pls
16:13:05barrywardellthe root menu should be designed to work with a minimal set of buttons common to all targets. shortcuts could be added for each target depending on button availability
16:13:21JdGordon^ speaks the truth
16:13:39*|Rincewind| agrees with this
16:13:45 Quit JdGordon (Remote closed the connection)
16:13:57barrywardelli'm not sure what those minimal set would be. maybe left, right, menu, up, down?
16:14:08n1sI think we need a UI dictator, that listens to people and the does exactly what (s)he wants :-)
16:14:24Mikachuthe problem is no buttons are common to all targets :)
16:14:41peturn1s: a dictator doesn't listen to people :p
16:14:43markunLinusN is a good dictator I think
16:14:54|Rincewind|left, right, up, down and one menu button should be possible on every target
16:14:56Mikachufor example ipods only have left, right, menu, play, and the wheel which no one else has
16:15:01markunpetur: what's "verlicht despoot" in english?
16:15:11*n1s agrees with barrywardell too and think what you enter with right should be exitable with left...

16:16:05markunn1s: what about the WPS?
16:16:15barrywardellMikachu: but scroll=up/down, left=left, right=right, menu=menu
16:17:47n1smarkun: well, that is a special case, left and right have some very logical functions there, but entering the filebrowser with right, makes me want to leave with left :-)
16:18:21markunn1s: I know, but because of the WPS I thought maybe we shouldn't do that
16:19:31n1smarkun: i don't like having left doing nothing in what will appear as menus to most users...
16:19:53n1sI mean it will exit the regular menus but not browsers..
16:20:20markunit will not exit in from the settings menu either
16:20:26markun-in
16:20:33*petur gets the feeling we can get rid of the A-B menu button on h3x0 and re-use it for something else :)
16:21:10peturbut then you can't access settings from the filebrowser as they're mapped next to each other
16:21:34n1smarkun so the menu is enter with right and your trapped (evil laughter)? yes I know you get back with the menu button but you can't go up one lvel

16:22:32markunn1s: yes, it's a trap :)
16:23:10markunbut so is the WPS
16:23:48n1sIf we leave left doing nothing, I personally think right shouldn't do anything either and all 'enter' actions will be done with the select button, (if we have one)
16:24:03bluebrotherpetur: who do you want to go to the menu without the mode button?
16:24:16Phalangeescouldn't right insert a song into playlist and select just play it?
16:24:18markunn1s: also in the settings menu?
16:24:47n1sANd then we could support skipping songs when not in the WPS on targets with loads of buttons (insane laughter)
16:24:55markunI think we are trying to change too many things at the same time :) or is it a good time to do so?
16:25:45n1smarkun: it seems strange to me having right entering and left doing nothing, that is my problem, and I think it would be confusing
16:27:44markunn1s: maybe we should ask JdGordon to implement it this way and try it
16:29:37n1sIt is a difficult decition to make in a large group with lots of oppinions involved, so I think that we will not really get anywhere unless someone just decides something, maybe Jdgordon should make the call...
16:31:47XavierGrnow that you mention of buttons... we should utilize the record button on iriver H100/H300
16:32:13XavierGrand oh please remove that awfull splash message when you press left on a setting screen
16:32:56amiconnLeft should accept instead of cancel
16:33:00n1syes we probably should but it is a similarly difficult thing to decide anything with buttons involved is just ewww
16:33:02amiconnThen the splash would go
16:33:07XavierGrI agree with amiconn
16:33:16XavierGrit was way better with the old behaviour
16:33:16n1samiconn: I agree with you there
16:33:21XavierGrfaster and more consistent
16:33:23markunand I would like splashes to go away when a button is pressed
16:33:24amiconnIt was like this for ages
16:34:09XavierGrcancel should be the stop button not the left
16:34:22amiconnyes, exactly
16:34:49XavierGrthe most annoying thing is when I just go to a setting to see a value, then I press left to leave and get the annoying cancel message
16:34:58Slasherihehe, now tagcache is endianess-independent :)
16:35:08XavierGrand no, it is not consistent to press right to leave a setting screen
16:35:27amiconnIt doesn't hurt though
16:35:33XavierGryeah
16:35:50XavierGrboth can be there
16:36:33amiconnOn the recorder there used to be 3 'aceept' buttons for settings
16:36:39amiconnLeft, Right and Play
16:37:00XavierGrwell it was something like that on H100 too, right? (left, right, navi (click))
16:38:18markunSlasheri: good!
16:38:52amiconnXavierGr: Yes. Play on the recorder is where Navi is on the irivers, in the center of the cursor cross

18:41:44bluebrothernot as long as you didn't asked

18:43:44RedLegCurrently the bootloader defaults to loading RockBox, and falls back to the original firmware of RockBox is not found, or if (in my case) menu is held while booting. Is tere a way to bame the bootloader load the original firmware by default?
18:43:57LloreanNo.
18:43:59bluebrotherno.
18:44:08GodEaterand thrice no
18:44:09RedLegWell, that was simple.... 8-)
18:44:14bluebrotherit's the rockbox bootloader and thus not wanted
18:44:25LloreanIt becomes more complicated if you're willing to compile you own bootloader. ;)
18:44:43bluebrotheris compiling that complicated? ;-)
18:45:08bluebrotherbut, if you compile the bootloader yourself you could change that behaviour
18:45:13LloreanNo, but you do have to make a small change to a single source file, and some people feel that 'programming', no matter how minute an amount, is 'complicate' :)
18:45:24bluebrotherhehe
18:45:28LloreanIf I recall you can change the behaviour from setting a == to a !=
18:45:35bluebrotherbut programming is fun ... :D
18:45:43RedLegAH... well, I have had the cross-compile environment going in the past, but that was for my original Archos..... I don't suppose the iPod would be that different?
18:45:53LloreanNot really, no.
18:46:03RedLegOK.. I may look into that.
18:46:12LloreanThe only difference is that instead of the sh GCC, you set up an arm GCC.
18:46:48RedLegDoes anyone have any experience with the ipodlinux bootloader and loading RB? It purports to support a boot menu....
18:48:10LloreanGenerally speaking, support for iPodLinux's loader comes from the iPL guys.
18:48:34LloreanBut yes, it is configurable and has a menu. You'll have to check their documentation for how, though.
18:49:27RedLegUnderstood.... but I'm wondering if it causes problems with loading RB. It claims to, but I really don't want to reload all this blasted music AGAIN due to problems....
18:49:57DataGhostiPL bootloader loads rockbox just fine
18:50:00LloreanYou... shouldn't have needed to RE-load your music in the first place.
18:50:08DataGhostrockbox just doesn't load fine on my 80GB yet
18:50:08DataGhost:)
18:50:08GodEaterwhichever bootloader you go for is entirely independent of your music
18:50:28LloreanExcept on HFS+ iPods, Rockbox's install is non-destructive to your music.
18:51:11RedLegI had some pretty severe HD corruption that I'm pretty sure was caused by a very weak battery. I've replaced it, reformatted everything and things _seem_ OK now....
18:51:17LloreanAh
18:52:00RedLegThat's a troubleshooting FAQ that I wish were more emphasized: If you're having what _seems_ to be HD problems, try replacing the battery....
18:52:54RedLegIn any case, thanks for the help, and for all the work on the project.

20:22:36Slasheriit would be nice to measure that how much buffer size affects to battery time
20:22:36madduckso if i never skip, does it drain the battery?
20:22:42Slasherithere is a limit somewhere
20:22:53Slasheriit could drain it little faster
20:22:54madducki would think that if i never skip, battery is actually conserved, cause the disk only has to spin up once every, say 9 minutes.
20:22:58phil_munichhi! is there anyone, wo could tell me how to change the range of scanning on an rockbox iriver h320?
20:23:20Slasherimadduck: nope, increasing that setting causes disk to spin more often

20:29:27linuxstbhcs: Still on flyspray.
20:29:28BigBambiFS
20:29:40amiconnIf (and only if) you *always* skip before the buffer gets below margin, the effect is zero

20:42:58hcsyou can't tell, when something else is writing to the hard drive you must abandon all hope
20:43:38madduckthis is VFAT, no? even windows can deal with it... or is the USB layer not a part of rockbox?
20:44:17 Quit phil_munich ("CGI:IRC (EOF)")
20:44:28desowinI have no idea what you mean by ' even windows can deal with it.'
20:44:34Slasheriamiconn: lets think that iriver could have something like a 6000 mWh capacity battery and one spinup (2A, 2s) consumes 1 mWh of energy at maximum while full buffering takes something like 5 mWh (30s) and half buffering 3 mWh (15s) with spin-up energy included. So increasing that anti-skip buffer to its maximum adds something like 1 mWh/spinup at maximum
20:44:37madduckis rockbox an OS of its own or based on a *nix system?
20:44:48desowinOS of its own
20:45:00madduckah, okay.
20:45:14madduckthen it's probably a design "limitation" i guess.
20:45:24desowinone question
20:45:39madduckdon't get me wrong, i am not dizzing it, it saves my day all the time! :)
20:45:52desowinis there any firmware to any player that allows you to modify file system on computer when you're playing music ?
20:46:56n1smadduck: what you are asking is impossible on most of our targets where USB communication is handeled in hardware
20:48:21n1son some targets where USB (probably will be) handeled in software, it could theoretically be possible but would be a major pain to create, and USB in rockbox is not supported at all on any of those targets yet
20:48:59Slasheriamiconn: ups, just forget those previous calculations, there was a mistake.
20:51:59Slasheriamiconn: one spinup 4mWh, 30s buffering 15+4, 15s buffering 7.5+4
20:52:17jhMikeSadded env_rates to IRAM as well...makes 7% speedup
20:52:50hcsnice
20:52:57Slasheriand battery capacity 7 Wh (1900 mAh battery)
20:55:54Slasheriamiconn: so if nothing else would consume energy, one could do raw buffering over 3h with normal buffer size compared to over 2.5h with half of the buffer size
20:59:05madduckn1s: yes, it makes sense if USB and rockbox are in the same ring

21:14:10Soul-SlayerThen you need to reset the player to get back to rockbox (Either remove the battery and replace it on the 5/6gB, or press the reset button on the 20gB)
21:14:34l33chit's working
21:14:46l33chthis cancel button :)
21:15:05l33chguys you are awesome :) today mp3 h10 6gb arrived
21:15:21l33chand now i'm happy :)
21:15:29Soul-SlayerGreat :).
21:18:36l33chnow only thing i wanna is to implement or just patch for .cuesheet files and then i'll be in heaven ;-) it's all what i miss on another mp3 players
21:19:27Soul-SlayerI have just learnt how to patch myself, could make you a build if you wish :p./
21:21:43l33chi tried it before
21:21:50l33chwith this debian image
21:22:19Soul-SlayerAny luck?
21:22:30l33chi wanted to build normal version
21:22:37l33chbut there were errors
21:22:43Soul-SlayerNormal builds are downloadable from the site itself
21:22:47l33chi then compiled new gcc
21:22:51l33ch4.0.3
21:23:07l33chbut not with this cuesheet support
21:23:07Mikachuthere's a new vmware image with 4.0.3
21:23:16l33chyeah ?
21:23:29l33chi go check ... is there a link ?

21:30:45dan_aSoul-Slayer: No news - I've had lots of real life to deal with lately. I have a suspicion as to what is breaking recording (if it's not cache synchronisation with the codec thread, which it isn't, then it's probably IRAM use) but I've not done a test for that. I'm having a couple of nights off, but I'll get back to it later in the week.

21:32:33l33chSoul-Slayer: Can I ask you to patch the latest source with this cuesheet patch and build it ? :D
21:32:53Soul-Slayerl33ch: Certainly, any other patches?
21:34:33l33chdo you recomend any others ?
21:35:34Soul-SlayerWell, as I was just discussing, the KoCOP patch makes use of the H10s coprocessor, which can increase performance. If you use Rockbox's recording feature however it will make things harder for you, as it doesn't work with the patch implemented
21:35:49Soul-Slayerhowever, as you have dual booting set up, there shouldn't be a problem as you can use the recording from the OF if you need to
21:37:15l33chtomorrow i'll go to security conference so i use this original recording feature
21:37:32l33chto have sure to be recorded :)
21:37:48l33chbut if there exists some performace patch
21:37:53l33chso why not use them :)
21:38:36Soul-SlayerCurrently the recording feature is a little tempremental on Rockbox in my eyes, after recording you have to reset the player in order to listen to songs and so forth, may be worth waiting for recording to get fixed up properly before you rely on Rockboxs recording feature anyhow ^^
21:38:49Soul-SlayerI'll put the KoCOP patch in and if you don't like it, tell me and I can make one without for you ^^
21:39:47l33chplease don't forget on this cuesheet patch :)
21:39:50l33chthanks in advance
21:39:56Soul-SlayerAlready in there ^^

21:55:07l33chnow i copy t player
21:55:11Soul-SlayerI believe you need to enable cuesheet support in 'General Settings -> Playback -> Cuesheet Support -> On' once you have it copied on
21:55:11Soul-SlayerYes
21:57:18l33chplease reboot to enable
21:57:32Soul-Slayerhttp://www.rockbox.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/WebHome?topic=CuesheetSupport for more information - The patch implementation uses "the amarok way"
21:57:35w1ll14mmikachu: what do you think about a delay when going above 0db volume to use the +6 as a 'boost' so that the user wouldn't accidently blow up their ears
21:57:39Soul-SlayerJust turn the player off and on again
21:57:42w1ll14mmaybe a useless idea ....
21:58:26Soul-Slayerw1ll14m: Maybe even before that, even 0 is pretty loud
21:58:56w1ll14msoul-slayer indeed.... but you can choose where 'boost' starts
21:59:18w1ll14msome sort of are you shure you wan't to go louder ?
21:59:49Soul-SlayerPerhaps not quite like that, for that could get a little annoying... Perhaps something in options to cap the volume?
21:59:54l33chthis cuesheet is working :)
21:59:58Soul-SlayerGreat :).
22:00
22:00:14w1ll14msoul-slayer: it can be set as an option which you can enable or not....

22:03:12w1ll14msoul-slayer: hmm because sometimes there is a nice part in a song... that's where the cap is unwanted
22:03:38w1ll14mi mean a nice part, that is a lot less loud than the rest of the son
22:03:40w1ll14mg
22:03:52w1ll14msorry for the english ;)
22:04:02Soul-SlayerWell, for instance, playing games whilst listening to music without the patch could cause the game to slow down, it shouldn't do so quite so much with the patch implemented
22:04:04l33chfor mine too :)
22:04:33w1ll14ml33ch: what is your target?
22:04:35Soul-Slayerw1ll14m: In which case, you could turn the cap off and have unrestricted control to volume still
22:04:47w1ll14msoul-slayer: true
22:05:07w1ll14mbut then you would have to go to menu's
22:05:10w1ll14mand change it.
22:05:30w1ll14mmy idea is to let the user scroll for 1 sec more, then it would enter 'boost' mode
22:05:34l33chw1ll14m: if you mean my mp3 player ? I own iRiver H10 :)
22:05:37linuxstb_Why can't you simply just not turn the volume up?

22:35:38linuxstb_That means that (at least as far as ipodpatcher is concerned), the firmware partition looks OK. You could try installing the Rockbox bootloader and see what happens.

22:38:00linuxstb_It's definitely a greyscale ipod?
22:38:26shayxyes
22:38:29shayxfor sure
22:38:49shayxwhat about the mbr-4g-20gb.bin file?
22:38:58linuxstb_ipodpatcher identifies an ipod from the firmware image - so that means you've installed the 4g greyscale firmware image.
22:39:15shayxI understand
22:39:15linuxstb_And yes, that MBR is from a 20GB greyscale.
22:39:30shayxwhat might be the error?

22:41:06linuxstb_After you install a new Firmware image, it should ask you to connect your ipod to a wall charger so it can update the flash contents.

22:46:52shayxI'm still not sure if I should use the 10.* or the 4.* firmware version.
22:47:01shayxalthought I tried both of them
22:47:34linuxstb_Are they different?
22:48:17shayxI dont't know, I think that it deppends on the generation of the iPod
22:48:57 Quit mattzz ("Leaving")
22:49:20linuxstb_Just do a diff between them, or calculate their md5 checksums.
22:49:45shayxthe dd'ed partition of the firmware, (the firmware partition) is /dev/sda1, right?

23:24:30webguest55hahah
23:24:34webguest55I know that don't work
23:24:46Bagderit did
23:24:49BagderI saw it
23:25:04Bagderyou found #rockbox!
23:25:07webguest55I wanted to know why rockbox freezes when certain songs are playing
23:25:41Soul-SlayerWhich codec? What bitrate? Do they work ok on your computer?
23:26:08webguest55yea the songs work fine anywhere else and even with the reg, ipod firmare
23:26:15webguest55they are mp3
23:26:39webguest55I don't know the bitrate, my guess would be 128 bit
23:26:52Soul-SlayerSo this happens with more than one song?
23:27:47webguest55yea, I don't recall which actual songs, but it does happen. nothing will work but the next song will come one and so on untill the folder is done
23:28:03Soul-SlayerSo it skips the song?
23:28:12Soul-SlayerWhich iPod do you have?
23:28:49webguest55nope, plays right through until the folder has no more songs. No functions work though and the screen is frozen. I use the 30Gig Video
23:29:12 Part perl|work
23:29:14Soul-SlayerAhh I see, so it locks up your controls but still plays the songs?
23:29:21webguest55yep.
23:29:46webguest55i should have just said that huh?
23:30:05Soul-SlayerHave you tried using a different WPS?
23:30:12shayxhm, on the Flash memory diagnostics, it gets stucks on one of the checksums, can be this a pointer to my problem?
23:30:42shayxer
23:30:45shayxignore my comment..
23:30:50webguest55I use the default rockbox theme with wps, just the backdrop is custom
23:31:09Soul-SlayerCould you try using the iCatcher theme, and playing a song again?
23:31:28webguest55i haven't seen this happen with anyother wps or theme.
23:32:11webguest55I'll change the theme right now and see what happens, give me a minute.
23:32:23Soul-SlayerOkay, to my knowledge (I haven't used it in some time) the Rockbox default theme uses peak meters, which always used to make my iriver H10 either stutter on music or lock up... I'm not sure if this got fixed or not, but it could be something to look into
23:33:10 Join lee-qid [0] (n=liqid@p5496541F.dip.t-dialin.net)
23:33:32hcsthere seemed to be agreement on a default without the peakmeter when it was brought up yesterday
23:34:11Soul-SlayerI too would agree with that
23:34:27webguest55I think that was it. nothing locks up, but now nothing shows in the wps. no music info or volume indicator.
23:34:35Winchester345how does bmp2rb work for grayscale screens? do the images come out nicely shaded or does the bmp need to be made with the 3 shades to look right?
23:34:54Soul-SlayerI suggest you look around for themes people have made for your ipod and find a WPS that you like the look of :).
23:35:01Soul-SlayerOr even make your own to your needs
23:35:41webguest55yea I guess thats what I am going to have to do. thanks for your help. Also do you know why the battery dies really fast?
23:36:12safetydanwebguest55, either your battery is old, or your using Rockbox on one of the targets that we haven't really got to grips with power saving on yet
23:36:40Soul-SlayerNumber of things really, Rockbox isn't as optimised as it could be at the moment, also it could be equalisers, pitch settings, high volumes, all sorts of things have a factor
23:36:49webguest55the latter might be the problem because it's a new iPod
23:36:59Soul-SlayerConstantly using high consuming plugins like mpegplayer or doom and so forth
23:37:12Soul-SlayerThat would be it then
23:37:32safetydanwebguest55, well how fast is fast? At the moment I think battery life on iPod's under Rockbox is about 50% of what you would get under Apple's firmware
23:37:38webguest55i don't play games, i did see a setting in rockbox but didn't understand. batter limit or something like that.
23:37:58Soul-SlayerThat is merely for approximating how much battery life remaining.
23:38:31webguest55batter capacity, what does this setting do if changed. right now it's on 1300
23:38:35webguest55that was default
23:38:40Soul-SlayerIf you go into the Info screen, it will give you a % and an approximate time remaining, changing your battery size in the menu will just modify how it calculates that.
23:38:50directhexwebguest55, changes how long rockbox predicts your remaining battery life for
23:39:11Soul-SlayerLeave it on it's default, otherwise you will start getting erratic battery approximations

23:39:53webguest55ohh. thanks for your help soul-slayer and safetydan
23:39:59Soul-SlayerLol, true enough.
23:40:21Soul-SlayerBest thing you can do is to sit it out, keep an eye on new builds and see if any optimisations have been made for your build
23:40:22directhexLlorean, t'is remarkably accurate with "6 minutes" for the other half's h320
23:40:27webguest55is this something new, or has this happened before
23:40:40Soul-Slayer'this'?
23:40:49webguest55the battery thing
23:40:52Lloreandirecthex: Yeah, but it's uncalibrated for iPods.
23:41:12Soul-SlayerBattery life for new targets always starts out poor
23:41:16Lloreanwebguest55: Rockbox has poor battery life on the iPods right now. It's not a 'thing' it's just the state of the software.

23:45:36LloreanI know the feeling
23:46:05safetydanLlorean, afaics the malloc stuff in oggmalloc is identical to the codeclib code.
