00:00:36jhMikeSandrewg867: you get this flipflop mono/stereo thing in svn on the sansa? radio works on it?
00:01:15andrewg867I get a flipflop when playing mp3s or flac, and I dont think there is even a radio chip driver yet

00:01:24roolkuamiconn: I don't think it would annoy him more to press one button then it does annoy me to go through endless menus to find the setting screen :)
00:01:36nlsBagder: works like a charm in the sim :-) (i don't have an actual h100 to try on)
00:01:42roolkubut no problem, I'll just keep it in my local build
00:01:43andrewg867its pretty hard to explain, i will try to record it with audacity and see how that works
00:01:52StryikDoes anybody here use a Color/Photo iPod
00:01:59amiconnPressing one extra button every boot surely is annoying
00:02:08Bagdernls: language files should be pretty safe to test in the sim, so I'll proceed and commit. Thanks for testing
00:02:13roolkuamiconn: no, only after power loss
00:02:32amiconnYou say it would pop up if no valid time is set
00:02:59amiconnAnd someone who doesn't care about rtc would press Stop, hence not set a valid time...
00:03:22roolkuamiconn: yes, but pressing the set button would set the build date at 0:00:00 which is valid
00:03:24amiconnShowing a wrong time is worse than just showing −−:−− imo
00:03:52roolkuamiconn: the RTC will do that after a while anyway (on gigabeat)
00:03:55amiconnroolku: Yes it's valid - and would advance and show up in the status bar, but would be wrong
00:04:25bluebrothera user who doesn't care about the time most probably will turn showing it off.
00:04:29roolkuamiconn: yes, but that would happen anyway, just with another wrong time
00:04:49amiconnWth the current setup you're free to decide whether and when to set the time & date. I would not like forcing the user to do that
00:05:37jhMikeSpreglow: you'll give it check gagin when I straighten it out?
00:05:39amiconn...and it would confuse blind users, as already said
00:05:47roolkuand as I said, that is fine with me :)

00:06:19linuxstbroolku: Maybe the main problem is simply that the date/time setting is hidden too deeply in the menus...
00:06:27amiconnroolku: Ask our blind users on the ml, I'm sure they'll disagree
00:06:52roolkuamiconn: sorry - disagree with what?
00:06:55bluebrotherI'd rather like an option to turn of showing the time in the status bar ...
00:06:56roolkulinuxstb
00:07:04amiconnroolku: On archos recorders, the screen would e.g. pop up after swapping batteries... which is a regular operation for some users
00:07:20roolkulinuxstb: yes, that was what prompted me, the extra hassle of setting the time
00:07:29amiconnroolku: Disagree with being surprised by an extra screen at startup
00:07:38linuxstbroolku: Then it sounds like the wrong solution - fixing the settings menus would be better.

00:08:11jhMikeSSame patch on x5 (just rebuilt) doesn't do that stuff...very weird
00:08:23bluebrothershouldn't the settings be more flat anyway? Like move everything below the "general settings" one level up?
00:08:24roolkulinuxstb: well, it is rarely used, so you don't want it near the root...
00:08:29amiconn40 hours and counting...
00:08:45linuxstbbluebrother: I think so, yes.
00:09:06linuxstbroolku: I think it's possible to have everything nearer the root now that "settings" is its own menu.
00:09:11roolkuamiconn: I am still not sure what you are arguing with regards to the blind: "[22:59] <roolku> amiconn: yes. that might be confusing for them"
00:09:21bluebrotherroolku: implement a "Favorites" menu and put the setting there ;-)

00:10:16roolkubluebrother: I think I stick with my patch that is ideal for me, but I accept that it can be inconvenient for others
00:10:21nlsmarkun: because people can't read documentation?

00:13:06andrewg867hmm, i get pops in the sansa audio when doing something intense like when jewels first down the jewels when you create a new game
00:13:19g8seBagder: ok, so I've got rockbox installed with the bootloader, and dual booting (though I haven't tested OF since installing rockbox). I'm finding that usb sync isn't working for me. When I plug in usb I do get a small usb icon on the player, but the linux kernel shows some time out errors in the kern.log

00:15:41linuxstbnls: I think I told you initialise was British, but after some research I discovered that initialize is the traditional British spelling, but that British people (incorrectly) think its the American form, so avoid it....
00:15:53g8seBagder: is usb support planned at all? aliask was wondering if it would work, because it's the same cpu as the ipod or something, but wasn't sure.
00:16:17Bagderg8se: planned and wanted sure, but it is quite some piece of code to write
00:16:26toffe82markun: the install of rockbox on the gigabeat with rbutils is really easy, people should use it
00:16:36g8seBagder: do you have to implement a full/partial usb stack?
00:16:46nlsbluebrother, linuxstb http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_and_British_English_spelling_differences#-ise_.2F_-ize
00:16:49Bagderg8se: and rockbox has no usb support on the ipods or sansa either (all being portalplayer targets)
00:17:16toffe82markun: the version with the themes is even better, now I us only this to load rockbox even to update
00:17:49Bagderg8se: yes, we need to implement a good deal of the upper level usb code, I'm actually not sure exactly how much
00:17:54andrewg867http://aliant.ath.cx/~andrew/sansa-mp3-weirdness.mp3 at about 23 seconds in
00:17:55g8seBagder: oh well. I was hoping for that to work, because I've been having problems transfering large runs of files with the OF.
00:17:59Arathisg8se: usb is supported by the original iriver bootloader on the h10. so if the player is shut down and you plug the usb cable in than use the ums trick to connect your player (hold down O while it boots and until it says "recovery mode")
00:18:14g8seArathis: yeah, I know about the ums trick
00:18:16nlsbluebrother: anyway, it doesn't really matter what we use its' not like someone will complain that they can't find the "initialise" option only the "initialize"...
00:18:30g8seArathis: but like I said, I get problems with the player locking up if I transfer lots of files
00:18:43linuxstbI thought the UI was meant to be British English as well?
00:18:46Arathisif your player is running holding down O while plugging in the usb cable reboots the player
00:18:57g8seArathis: I suspect the OF has some bugs in it's ums support
00:19:05 Quit BigMac (Read error: 145 (Connection timed out))
00:19:13g8seArathis: so I can get into ums mode, and thats how I installed rockbox in the first place
00:19:38g8seArathis: either OF firmware has bugs, or my kernel version doesn't play nice with it (running 2.6.8, as thats what is in Debian Sarge)
00:19:50andrewg867oh and it was worse until i turned up the buffer to 30sec
00:20:26linuxstbandrewg867: All portalplayer targets struggle to play some music in realtime, especially if you're doing other things with the CPU as well.

00:21:20bluebrotherah. I can choose between en_GB-ise and en_GB-ize. Seems en_GB defaults to en_GB-ise ;-)
00:21:43andrewg867linuxstb: what would you call that thing that happened, I dont really know what happens
00:21:50nlslinuxstb: yes, I think that the UI is supposed to be British but people don't really stop to think "hmm, is this British or Amercian spelling?" when they add stuff
00:21:57bluebrothernls: thanks for clearing this up, wasn't aware of that. But I might not be the best about distinguision between AE and BE ;-)
00:22:32nlsbluebrother: I didn't know before asking here either :-)
00:22:35annulus_I just installed the current build on my Ipod Color, and its frozen four times in a row, first on going into info, then after initialising the database and trying to shut down, then trying to browse the database, and now it seems to have frozen on the start up screen.
00:22:46annulus_i'm guessing this is not a software issue?
00:22:50linuxstbnls: In a case like -ise/-ize, it seems we could argue that both are British, so I would make the manual consistent with the UI.
00:22:50bluebrotherit would be good to agree on one of the two and add a command line for aspell to the ManualHowto ;-)
00:22:57nlsannulus_: update bootloader
00:23:04 Part g8se
00:23:04Arathisg8se: I had no problems with that. running ubuntu and allways connecting with ums trick though rockbox resets the player every time
00:23:35pixelmanls: thinking about changing this in the lang cleanup? ;)
00:24:15nlspixelma: maybe it depends on which form we want to use, IMO it doesn't matter as long as we're consistent
00:24:47preglowlinuxstb: -ise is british
00:24:54nlsI mean that if we want to use ize, nothing will need to be changed
00:25:02nlsI think...
00:25:05linuxstbandrewg867: No, your recording sounds different to the normal problems.
00:25:10preglowlinuxstb: afaik, -ize is originally an american construct
00:25:16linuxstbpreglow: Did you read the wikipedia article nls linked to?

00:25:24preglow:-)

00:28:25preglowbluebrother: works badly with irc
00:28:37bluebrotherhehe ... good point.
00:28:37pixelmanls: same problem as "Key Lock" vs. "Keylock" - the discussion earlier didn't help me a lot with a decision
00:28:40nlsannulus_: so your bootloader doesn't show any text when you start your ipod? ie apple logo->rockbox logo wiith no text displayed in between
00:28:57bluebrotherbut what was that quote ... "the world language is not english. It's bad english"
00:29:05bluebrotherstill one of my favourites
00:29:35annulus_nls, well I got it started now. before it froze at the splash screen. before that it froze when i tried to shut down rockbox after initialising the database...
00:29:40andrewg867wow this GPIO bit banging is way over my head, i'm still going to try to get something at least half working

01:08:07nlsok, quick c question'
01:08:31nls.how could i turn this if (button & BUTTON_LEFT) into a case in a switch thingy
01:08:58linuxstbI don't think you can - button is a bitmask, so can have lots of different values at the same time.
01:08:59andrewg867jac0b: not that I know of, just check the SVN commit log
01:09:12nlslinuxstb: ah, ok
01:09:17linuxstbjac0b: Every daily build has a changelog file..
01:09:26nlslot's of if's is the way to go then
01:09:28andrewg867that works too :x
01:09:55linuxstbjac0b: Or as andrewg867 said, just look at the front page of the website for recent changes...
01:10:30andrewg867linuxstb: for the sansa FM chip, the data line is input and output, I would just set the OUTPUT_EN to 0 and then INPUT_EN to 1 to switch?
01:11:25andrewg867and do you think "GPIOH_OUTPUT_VAL |= (1<<4);" would work for setting pin 4 on H to output?

01:13:29amiconnAfaik GPIOx_OUTPUT_VAL selects the output *value* (high or low) when output is enabled
01:14:39andrewg867so according to the text file, http://daniel.haxx.se/sansa/tuner_interface.txt this should work for init of the clock:
01:14:42andrewg867GPIOH_OUTPUT_VAL |= (1<<4); /* Clock high */

01:28:07jhMikeSpreglow: you can come back to it =:)
01:28:57preglowjhMikeS: change min_ifc and max_ifc too?
01:29:21nlseggy, Stalwart: mpegplayer plays video with audio but it is still in a very early start and doesn't refill the memory when what was initially buffered is played, which makes it able to play only a couple of minutes of video, ad sync isn't reliable...
01:29:22jhMikeSMaybe not for a first run but the philips recommended values are 0x31 and 0x3e
01:30:04eggyis that an addon?
01:30:11jhMikeSMight work better with narrower bands but it needs better rejection here

01:33:04preglowweird... one channel has one channel, plus a roughly 250ms delayed version of itself, overlayed with yet another channel
01:33:05 Part Brunellus ("Ex-Chat")
01:33:12andrewg867LSB being least significant bit?

01:33:39preglowi wonder where the hell this echo comes from
01:33:51andrewg867probably metallic FM wave reflection
01:34:05preglowandrewg867: that wouldn't give an audible echo
01:34:09preglowa flanger, at best

01:34:55*jhMikeS can fudge the IFC levels narrower and wider too
01:35:08preglowfor this to yield an echo, it'd have to bounce off the moon or something
01:35:36andrewg867maybe the FM chip is just weird on some off frequencies
01:35:38nlspreglow: maybe you pick it up from another transmitter
01:36:08preglownls: possibly, with the signal being delayed pre-transmit

06:56:12JdGordonsup?
06:57:16midkayhmm.. well it's about the hardware EQ. i remember you 'fixed' it but it still doesn't seem to be working right.. the low/high shelf filters work, but it seems peak filters 1-3 don't.. and they used to.
06:57:31midkayif you don't have any time to look at it.. any thoughts where i might find code related to these?
06:57:46midkaycode that i think you modified, because i think it worked fine before the menu changes.
06:58:23*JdGordon was wondering... I didnt touch the hw eq... but if its menu then all me..
06:58:37JdGordonumm... it would be either menus/sound_menu.c or eq_menu.c
06:58:48Lloreanmidkay: Supposedly the 3 peak filters never worked.
06:58:53JdGordongotte run now.. back in an hour or so
06:58:59midkayJdGordon: thanks, i'll maybe look
06:59:14midkayLlorean: really? i'm pretty sure they did a while ago.
06:59:25midkayi know the bandwidth setting never worked if that's what you're thinking of.
06:59:29LloreanEver since the Hardware EQ came into being, I've been hearing people, regularly, state "The three peak filters do nothing" including developers who implemented it. ;)
06:59:31midkayor it didn't for a while.. or something.
06:59:49scorcheaye...i dont remember them ever working either
06:59:49LloreanSo, people keep _saying_ it at least.
06:59:56LloreanSince I don't have a 5G I have no personal experience on the matter.
07:00
07:00:17midkayLlorean: hmm... i'd better get a far earlier build to check.
07:00:27midkayi always thought they worked..
07:01:05midkayfebruary 11th.. hmm.
07:01:34scorchesoftware always worked, but not those shelves
07:01:37midkaynot quite early enough i think. guess i'd have to check it out from svn..
07:01:45midkayscorche: i know software works just fine..
07:02:03midkayand um, the shelves have too. not the peak filters, supposedly.
07:02:27scorchemeh...you know what i mean...i am juggling a few things atm
07:02:55midkayno problem.. thanks for (incorrectly) reiterating what we just went over a couple times! :)

08:24:56JdGordonis there any reason why select in the wps on the sansa is long press of the middle button instead of single press like every other target?
08:25:25LloreanProbably nobody's noticed it yet.
08:26:21LloreanOn a slightly related note, I think a mild attempt at unifying the apparent button maps would be nice. I'm somewhat of an opinion that if a short press of a button on one target does A, and a long press does B, on most, or all, targets, when a button short does A, its long should do B.
08:26:36LloreanThere may be a reason this isn't possible everywhere, but off the top of my head it seems like a goal worth striving for at least.

08:28:52amiconnyes
08:29:02LloreanWell, on some targets (gigabeat) there is a button that serves as "Select" in the filetree, but "Play/Pause" in the WPS. Or on the Sansa, there's a single button that does the Context Menu
08:29:05amiconnI'm now quite fed up of this album ;)
08:29:10LloreanMeanwhile the Power button serves as the Main Menu for some reason.
08:29:23*JdGordon gone
08:29:36*Llorean will admit he had some confusion about the Sansa keymap at first.

09:08:27*GodEater is impressed linuxstb got that much sleep. Whenever he reads the logs he notices linuxstb is still awake at 2am usually!
09:08:51linuxstbYes, an early night last night...
09:09:16linuxstbmerwin: Sorry to hear that. So no-one has managed to successfully run e200 firmware on an e200r?
09:09:39merwinlinuxstb: Not yet... probably won't happen for a while (if ever). There's something grossly different about them
09:09:54merwinlinuxstb: seems you can go from e200 -> e200r, but not the other way
09:11:04linuxstbMaybe the e200r needs a second partition creating, to make the disk look like an e200.
09:11:38merwinlinuxstb: That's what i was thinking as well
09:11:47GodEaterwouldn't take much to try it either
09:12:13merwinGodEater: I'd try it, but ... i'm bricked
09:12:29GodEatermerwin: yeah I saw =(
09:12:53linuxstbWhat exactly is e200tool attempting to do?

09:13:44linuxstbI just mean, what does it copy, and to where, and then what does the Sansa do with what's copied?
09:14:00merwinlinuxstb: From what i understand, it modifies the RAM only, not the NAND
09:14:11merwinSo you can copy a bootloader to the RAM, and then execute it
09:14:19merwinwhich can help in un-bricking
09:14:27 Quit Llorean (Read error: 60 (Operation timed out))
09:14:41linuxstbAh OK, so you basically just upload some code, and then run it?
09:15:19linuxstbWhat code is normally uploaded?
09:15:24 Quit joshin_ (Read error: 104 (Connection reset by peer))
09:16:12merwinlinuxstb: usually a recovery bootloader, so you can get into the recovery partition and flash
09:16:13B4gderwe can go e200 => e200R => e200
09:16:21B4gderif we start with a vanilla one
09:16:33B4gderits just that we can go from an original e200R => e200 (yet)
09:16:37B4gdercan't
09:17:11linuxstbmerwin: Where did the recovery bootloader come from? Who wrote it?
09:17:23merwinlinuxstb: Comes with the vanilla firmware
09:17:41merwini'm guessing sansa wrote it :)
09:17:47merwinsandisk
09:18:49linuxstbI thought the firmware just consisted of the normal bootloader (BL_*) and the main firmware (PP5022.mi4)?
09:19:58merwinlinuxstb: recovery mode is built into the BL_ firmware
09:20:02merwinif you hold down the REC key
09:20:10merwinand some more at boot
09:21:00linuxstbSo our anonymous friend extracted the code from the BL_ file?
09:21:27GodEaterobjection: supposition ;)
09:21:33 Quit linuxstb ("CGI:IRC")
09:21:40linuxstb_It was just a question...
09:21:47 Nick linuxstb_ is now known as linuxstb (n=linuxstb@rockbox/developer/linuxstb)
09:22:14merwinlinuxstb: Nope... you use e200tool to load the BL file into RAM, execute, and if you're holding down REC while it's booting, you get into the recovery mode
09:22:23merwinlock also has to be on
09:22:25merwin:)
09:22:28linuxstbI see.
09:22:45linuxstbSo you actually upload the standard bootloader.
09:23:25linuxstbI assume you've tried both an e200r bootloader and an e200 bootloader?
09:23:37merwinlinuxstb: Normally. You can upload any code... you can even upload the rockbox firmware into it. Using e200tool, you can't get anything other than text mode (at least that's my experience), so you'll only see the initial rockbox boot messages
09:24:03linuxstbThat's probably because Rockbox doesn't fully initialise the hardware, but relies on the OF bootloader.
09:24:24merwinlinuxstb: true
09:24:27B4gdermost likely, as there is no such thing as "text mode"

09:26:37B4gderI don't know, I just noticed the mail I got
09:27:53linuxstbmerwin: What happens when you try to run the e200r bootloader with e200tool?
09:28:15merwinlinuxstb: On an e200 or e200r?
09:28:22linuxstbOn your "bricked" e200r?
09:28:45merwinlinuxstb: It writes it, then says executing, and a new usb device will show up, but it's unknown
09:28:51GodEaterB4gder: did we have to specify specific projects, or is the GSoC thing open for all the ideas we came up with ?
09:28:55B4gdermerwin: it seems the i2c rom of the e200R is different(ly placed?) than on the e200, so it is very hard for me to guess
09:29:14B4gderGodEater: it just means we can mentor projects, any projects

09:30:17merwinB4gder: i attempted to replace the i2c with the e260 one using the method on your site... it said upgrading boot firmware, took 30 seconds, then said complete and i never heard from it again
09:30:24linuxstbB4gder: How does the i2c rom fit into this?
09:30:25merwinlinuxstb: same thing
09:30:28jcdhelo,
09:30:38jcdi got e2600 too :D
09:30:52_AmblinQuite active in these parts at night :)
09:31:06B4gderlinuxstb: very very early in the process, the i2c rom is checked/used and if that is broken the unit appears as a portalplayer usb device
09:31:17jcdtrying to compile roxbox now, can anyone explain what "Build (N)ormal, (A)dvanced, (S)imulator, (B)ootloader, (M)anual, (V)oice?" means
09:31:24jcdor how the options differ
09:31:34B4gderif the i2c rom is fine, the sansa can enter manufacturing mode, otherwise it can't
09:32:13aliaskjcd: Normal is the firmware, advanced is for custom builds, simulator is an SDL port of rockbox, bootloader is the bootloader, manual is the manual in pdf format, and voice is the voice file to get rockbox to speak.
09:32:18merwinB4gder: do you know what it means if e200tool responds to the second of the device codes instead of the first?
09:32:32jcdthanks
09:32:33B4gdermerwin: see above, it means the i2c rom is corrupt
09:33:08jcdi want a build to try plugins on and maybe hack abit, i wanna use it with gdb too
09:33:12merwinB4gder: So it should respond when i e200tool recover the BL file... i get nothing after "Executing"
09:33:16jcdso should i use advance one?
09:33:18merwinit recognizes a usb device
09:33:20merwinbut fails
09:33:45linuxstbjcd: You just want "normal" - "advanced" is for when you've made hardware modifications to your device.
09:33:52aliaskjcd: No need.
09:34:09jcdoh, ok, im still in the porcess of reading the manual
09:34:12B4gdermerwin: as I said, it doesn't reach manufacturing mode when the i2c rom is broken, and that is why it still says portalplayer device and not a sansa
09:34:34merwinB4gder: So it's bricked for good?
09:35:00B4gderI wouldn't say that, but I can confirm that I don't have any solution for you at this point
09:35:10merwinB4gder: heh, ok
09:35:18merwinB4gder: would it help if you had the unit in-hand?
09:35:21linuxstbB4gder: So merwin isn't actually succeeding in uploading the code?
09:35:42B4gderlinuxstb: no, he can't upload any code until he can reach the proper mode that allows upload
09:35:56B4gderI mean, other than the i2c rom fix stage
09:36:07linuxstbSo is that something that needs fixing/is fixable in e200tool?
09:36:09merwinB4gder: But e200tool doesn't have an i2c rom fix yet...
09:36:15B4gderI'm a bit vague here, but this is all things MrH knows and has explained to me and I just repeat
09:36:41B4gder(to the best of my knowledge, the mistakes are all mine)
09:36:47merwinheh
09:37:03B4gdermerwin: e200tool can fix the i2c rom for e200 models
09:38:06merwinThe webpage says that it has no i2c fixing support built-in...
09:38:20 Quit webguest37 ("CGI:IRC")
09:38:35aliaskSo if you can determine the correct address of the i2c rom you could fix the player?
09:39:06B4gderlinuxstb: the official list of accepted gsoc orgs is not published yet it seems
09:39:31B4gderaliask: yes, it might be what's missing
09:39:40B4gderbut it is a bit of a guesswork at this point
09:40:12aliaskHow was the address of the vanilla e200's i2c rom found? Or was this more MrH magic?
09:40:37B4gderraw MrH power required (tm)
09:41:17merwinMrH is a genius
09:42:51aliaskPerhaps MrH will come to the rescue once again :P
09:43:12B4gderhe never left ;-)
09:43:43aliaskI know, but he might decide to take up this particular issue
09:44:47B4gderwe've been discussing the R models and how to get stuff to it recently
09:44:56aliaskCool
09:44:57B4gderbut he has no R model himself
09:45:16B4gderhe also did the e200 => e200R => e200 transition successfullt
09:45:42merwinB4gder: well, if a bricked R will help, i'd be happy to send mine
09:46:07B4gderthere's just the problem that he doesn't want to tell his address, so we can't ship anything his way

10:31:02B4gderI don't think we need to pre-arrange any out of band communication means, but just take those as we go
10:31:11LloreanWhile input tends to be welcome, someone new to the project could easily get confused by arguments that may crop up on the ML whether something should or shouldn't be done.
10:31:18LloreanAlright
10:31:30LloreanThat's worst on the normal ML anyway
10:31:38aliaskLlorean: The dev list doesn't have much noise I'd say - I've only recieved four or five in the last month and a bit.
10:31:39B4gderindeed
10:31:50B4gderthe blind people stay on the user list :-)
10:32:19GodEaterexcept the current dev questions on it from the blind guy who doesn't know how to set up the quote chars in outlook
10:32:45Lloreanaliask: It varies a lot with time, but when a controversial subject comes up (which things like Metadata on Buffer, Viewports, or UI improvements could easily spawn) you get 'Developers with firm opinions about the right way' vs 'Users with firm opinions about what they like' :)
10:33:04petursomething is very borked when I'm playing a large (1hour) VBR mp3: it says it is over 3 hours long, and when I seek forward, I end up somewhere in the past :(
10:33:13LloreanWeird
10:33:24Lloreanpetur: Do you know when this behaviour started?
10:33:26GodEaterRockbox's new time machine API I see
10:33:29LinusNpetur: is the TOC correct?
10:33:39B4gderadd yourself as a mentor here => http://code.google.com/soc/mentor_home.html
10:33:59peturIt's generated with a recent lame version
10:34:38peturLlorean: I normally don't play such files so I wouldn't know. I saw it last week too on another file
10:34:40pondlifeDoes anyone here know if it's possible to build the manual under Cygwin? I'm having LaTeX problems - UNICODE support I think...
10:34:52*petur tries a large WAV
10:34:55LinusNpetur: i assume that the file is huge?
10:35:14bluebrotherpondlife: sure. Just install the unicode package yourself
10:35:30Lloreanpetur: I listen to very long files (6+ hours) regularly and haven't seen anything like this, though I don't know when the last one that was MP3 was.
10:35:34pondlifeI have the ZIP, but am not sure where to put it.
10:35:41peturlarge wav is ok
10:36:01LinusNpetur: i bet it's a problem with the Xing header
10:36:10peturthe mp3 is 136MB and the time shown is double of the expected
10:37:20peturright. it is a problem with the file as foobar thinks the same...
10:37:32bluebrotherpondlife: on my system the files are in /usr/share/texmf/tex/latex/unicode
10:37:39bluebrotherit's linux though
10:37:41pondlifeOK, I'll try that
10:38:08bluebrotherbut I assume the other tex files are in /usr/share/texmf on cygwin too, so that should work
10:38:28LloreanB4gder: "Your mentoring acceptance is pending"
10:38:55bluebrotherhmm. Seems there are tons of outlook faq pages in german but not in english :o
10:39:11LinusN"You are too lame to be a mentor" :-(
10:39:19pondlifebluebrother: This is the unicode/ucs.zip referenced on the wiki, right?
10:39:27bluebrotheryes.
10:39:37pondlifeUnzipped it contains ucs.sty and a lot of .def files
10:39:41GodEaterwell if LinusN is too lame, I won't even bother applying
10:39:44LinusN:-)
10:39:46pondlifelol
10:39:53GodEaterthey might hunt me down and shoot me
10:40:02pondlifebluebrother: I get " LaTeX Error: File `utf8x.def' not found"
10:40:22bluebrotherI have the contents of the ucs/ folder in that archive in the unicode folder in my path
10:40:40bluebrotherso utf8x.def is /usr/share/texmf/tex/latex/unicode/utf8x.def on my box
10:40:52pondlifeI don't have a utf8x.def at all
10:41:39bluebrotherif you open the zip file it has a folder called ucs. In that folder is utf8x.def
10:42:21bluebrotheryou need at least the .def and .sty files from there and the data/ folder
10:42:26pondlifeHmm, I better grab the zip again?
10:42:39bluebrotherif it's missing it sounds like a broken download
10:42:58bluebrotherjust downloaded the zip myself, the file is definitely present.
10:43:13pondlifeFrom http://www.unruh.de/DniQ/latex/unicode/ ?
10:43:23*bluebrother gets the idea writing a bash script that does this for cygwin
10:43:24bluebrotheryes.
10:43:53pondlifeHmm, I think I only copied across the files referred to in the INSTALL
10:44:20*Llorean just realized that the page didn't ask him for an email address.
10:44:30markunB4gder: should we start to define the gsoc tasks a bit better like this? http://wiki.scummvm.org/index.php/OpenTasks
10:44:35B4gderLlorean: it requires a gmail account
10:44:37markunor will it be ok like this?
10:44:51LloreanB4gder: Yeah, I just went and looked, and I was signed into gmail at the time.
10:45:12B4gdermarkun: the more details the better of course, but in the end it is up to the student
10:45:31pondlifebluebrother: I still get that error... Do I need to re-index?
10:45:39bluebrothertry running texhash
10:45:53markuntrue, just thought it might be easier to pick one of our suggestions if we provided a bit more detail
10:46:02B4gderyes I agree
10:46:14markunand maybe split them in categories
10:46:16pondlifebluebrother: Progress \o/
10:46:19B4gderand we should not underestimate that we need to make them sound attractive and fun
10:46:34bluebrotherpondlife: great
10:46:35pondlife"/rockbox.tex:3: File ended while scanning use of \@writefile."
10:46:40pondlifeThen it stops with a ? prompt
10:46:43pondlifeCorrect?
10:46:49bluebrothernope :)
10:46:50markunB4gder: I'll try to work on the wiki a bit when I get to work
10:46:56B4gdergreat!
10:46:57pondlifeThought not :)
10:47:07bluebrothermaybe it's a dos vs unix line endings thing ...
10:47:23*bluebrother should setup cygwin at home and try himself
10:47:26pondlifeI should be entirely as per SVN - with unix line endings
10:47:40bluebrotherand cygwin is configured for unix line endings?
10:47:46pondlifeYes
10:47:58pondlifeHang on, I'll pastebin
10:47:58markunThe "version 3 release" is a quite onrealistic I think

10:48:19Lloreanmarkun: I'm not so certain.
10:48:31bluebrotherhmm. Then it should work. Have you tried a make clean?
10:48:46B4gderperhaps at least unrealistic to get a student to pull that through
10:48:53markunyes
10:49:02LinusN"Make users happy"
10:49:04pondlifebluebrother: http://www.pastebin.ca/395826
10:49:08LloreanWell, the biggest thing are the playback oddities and voice glitches.
10:49:14pondlifeYes, I did make clean first
10:49:30scorcheLinusN: that would be much more unrealistic than the 3.0 release
10:49:43LloreanB4gder, markun: Maybe "Playback unification" in its place?
10:49:43markunWould he be a 'release coordinator'? Doesn't sound like a lot of fun for someone new to rockbox
10:49:43LinusN:-)
10:49:59pondlifeRockbox isn't meant to be fun :)
10:49:59LinusNtotally un-fun
10:50:14markuntrue true :)
10:50:15*bluebrother agrees
10:50:24markunI really hate working on rockbox
10:50:31markunif only the pay wasn't so good
10:50:40B4gder"cleaning services for core developers to give them more hacking time"
10:50:40LinusNrockbox is all about hard labour
10:51:03GodEaterI hear they use it as a prison sentence in Sweden
10:51:03markunLinusN: and free beer at the next devcon, right?
10:51:10LinusNoh yes
10:51:12pondlifeOh, not free beer
10:51:18pondlifeJust so un-fun
10:51:20markunwell, dontated beer then

10:52:17lachlanI doubt people would donate if it were used otherwise
10:52:22markunWill the students select a project or will they be assigned to one?
10:52:30GodEaterthey select one I think
10:52:30B4gdermarkun: they select
10:52:45markunSo it's totally possible non of them are interested in rockbox of course :)
10:52:51Lloreanmarkun: They actually write a project proposal of their own and submit it. Our list is just to give them ideas.
10:52:53GodEatercorrect
10:53:24ShaidI think the summer of code is unfair to people who don't get a summer break.
10:53:25markunany idea how many students there were the last year(s)?
10:53:29Shaidit's very US-centric!
10:53:38LloreanShaid: Well Google is a US based organization.
10:53:39B4gders
10:53:40GodEaterShaid: more northern hemisphere centric
10:53:44B4gderindeed
10:53:47ShaidYeah.
10:53:48 Join pixelma [0] (i=pixelma@rockbox/staff/pixelma)
10:53:56LloreanBut many US Schools have a "summer" semester anyway.
10:53:56B4gdermost northern countries do have summer holidays
10:53:57ShaidI don't know how I would've juggled my uni classes and summer of code at the same time.
10:54:03GodEaterit should be called Winter of code for those below the equator
10:54:12nlsWoul anyone try to hunt me down if I add a scummvm port to the proposed SoC projects?
10:54:17markunGodEater: in Australia they also have a summer break :)
10:54:19LloreanIt's intended for university students, and in the US there's no guaranteed summer break for them depending on their own schedule choices.
10:54:19bluebrotherpondlife: strange. It must struggle somewhere in the preamble or rockbox.tex
10:54:27B4gdernls: indeed not, we need lots of ideas on that page
10:54:33GodEatermarkun: but do they have it in July/August ?
10:54:35Shaidhard to control, that'd be
10:54:42markunGodEater: of course not :)
10:54:45Shaidscummvm is great on a NDS though.
10:54:54GodEaterwell then GSoC is in Winter for them n'est ce pas ?
10:54:55LloreanWouldn't a ScummVM port be a ScummVM summer of code entry?
10:54:59*bluebrother hasn't had holidays for a couple of years :'-(
10:55:01markunscummvm would be nice on a Gigabeat as well
10:55:14markunLlorean: yes, good idea
10:55:17bluebrotherMonkey Island on my h120! :)
10:55:28markunbut it's C++, that might give us some problems
10:55:31LinusNdoesn't scummvm have an incompatible license?
10:55:34LloreanShaid: Since most ScummVM games aren't time-intensive, it'll just play a bit slower because it takes longer to click.
10:55:46LloreanLinusN: It's GPL I believe, just heavily heavily object-oriented C++
10:55:50LinusNaha
10:55:52markunLinusN: does that matter for a plugin?
10:55:55B4gderLlorean: it is better for us to have them as our project as it brings new people into our mindset and environment
10:56:00LinusNmarkun: yes
10:56:12bluebrotherwouldn't it be possible creating a plugin using c++?
10:56:14linuxstb_LinusN: It's GPL'd
10:56:20LinusNok
10:56:23LloreanB4gder: Oh, I agree. It just might be a good idea to suggest it over there as well, so that people looking at theirs might then come look at ours. :)
10:56:33B4gdervery true
10:56:38*pondlife wants to go south of the equator just to see the sun go round the sky in the other direction.
10:56:43markunLinusN: why? Can't someone make a closed source application for a open source OS (like rockbox)?
10:57:02B4gdermarkun: not really, no
10:57:09bluebrothermarkun: you need to link against GPL libraries
10:57:14 Quit merwin (Connection timed out)
10:57:17B4gderbut that is a very gray area
10:57:21B4gderlet's not go there
10:57:25pixelmapondlife: I've seen your discussion about building the manual on cygwin - have you figured it out yet?
10:57:33pondlifeNot yet
10:57:39LinusNand it is not in our interest to have closed source plugins
10:57:41pondlifeCan you build it under Cygwin?
10:57:45pixelmayes
10:57:56pondlifeGreat, so it's at least possible
10:58:04pondlifeDid you see my pastebin?
10:58:05LloreanCygwin doesn't have the appropriate UCS package, or did you install it and it not work?
10:58:05markunLinusN: no, it was more an extreme example of incompatible licenses
10:58:13LinusNmarkun: i see
10:58:40pondlifepixelma: I'm just re-running configure and make clean
10:58:47LloreanI think though, that we shouldn't have _many_ game-port Project Ideas listed, since a lot of those aren't really Rockbox work, in the end.
10:59:01pixelmapondlife: I put the files as bluebrother described (I think) - and then had to run the command "mktexlsr" as the second paragraph in the help text described...
10:59:33pondlifeAh, it worked now, but plenty of reference warnings, right?
10:59:50bluebrotherreference warnings aren't a problem.
10:59:51markunLlorean: but they could be seen as a part of "make users happy" task :)
10:59:55linuxstb_Would a general feature of allowing plugins written in C++ be feasible?
10:59:56pixelmayes... they are normal
10:59:57pondlifeGreat
10:59:57Lloreanmarkun: I suppose.
11:00
11:00:05pondlifeHow do I make HTML rather than PDF?
11:00:17bluebrotherlatex can't do the references correct in the first run, so you will get those warnings
11:00:21pondlifeOK
11:00:23bluebrothermake manual-html
11:00:26pixelmapondlife: that I haven't figured out yet :/
11:00:32markunLlorean: but I agree that some general rockbox stuff suck as a USB stack would be preferable
11:00:34bluebrotherbut you need to have tex4ht installed.
11:00:48markun..such as..
11:00:50bluebrotherwhich afaik is a bit trickier
11:00:51pixelmabluebrother: didn't find that package for cygwin yet
11:01:25GodEaterdid amiconn get round to detailing how his vision of ViewPorts should work at all ?
11:02:30pixelmayes he said it would be faster to just write viewport support than a detailed documentation
11:02:42pixelmaIIRC
11:02:49pondlifeHmm, texi2html... but no tex4ht
11:03:51GodEaterpixelma: is that a joke ?
11:04:23LloreanGodEater: I think the case is that documenting it well enough for someone to implement it as expected would mostly be the same as implementing it.
11:04:48 Quit jcd ("Konversation terminated!")
11:04:52LloreanSometimes cases like that come up. You see something a very specific way in your head, which means if you want it to end up that way you have to write down _all_ the details.
11:04:58pixelmaGodEater: I just repeat what amiconn said - don't think it was a joke but you'd have to ask amiconn himself
11:05:58linuxstb_But wouldn't documentation need to be written anyway?
11:06:28pixelmapondlife: if you can find it out - I'm also interested in being able to build the html-manual...
11:06:37*pondlife Googles more
11:06:38 Quit hannesd (Read error: 110 (Connection timed out))

11:07:01*nls never managed to get html manual building to work either
11:07:53GodEaterLlorean: I wasn't really after a description of the specific implementation details, I just want a description of what ViewPorts are
11:08:03GodEaterI've so far found nothing with a description of them
11:08:31GodEaterI have an idea in my head that I've put together just from the name - but no idea how close to the truth it is
11:08:35LloreanGodEater: Basically, virtual screens.
11:08:46GodEaterLlorean: which means ?
11:08:46LloreanAt least if I understand correctly.
11:08:57pondlifeVirtual screens mapped to positions on physical screens
11:09:09GodEaterpondlife: like windows 1.0 ?
11:09:14pixelmaI thought you were referring to a description of implementation - because I thought it had to do with the SoC
11:09:17LloreanA subscreen that you can draw to as if it were a full device screen. Scrolling on the virtual screen ends at its edges, etc.
11:09:27linuxstbThere are some details I'm not sure of, such as whether we'll be supporting overlapping viewports, or viewports entirely contained in other viewports...
11:09:31GodEaterpixelma: implementation details would be down to the implementer
11:09:41GodEaterbut if you want someone to do it, you need to tell them what the end result needs to look like
11:10:07GodEaterLlorean, linuxstb: see - those are the things I've not seen written down anywhere
11:10:10GodEateruntil right now
11:10:26LloreanGodEater: I think viewports has only _ever_ been discussed in here.
11:10:31LloreanAt least as far as I've seen
11:10:36linuxstbGodEater: I'm agreeing with you that an overview (from a user's point of view) of how viewports will work will be useful.

11:11:03GodEaterI'm just surprised no-one has jotted them down somewhere on the wiki
11:11:27LloreanB4gder: Do you know, if we rename the decrypted OF file on the Sansa back to PP5022.MI4, will it update to that file or are the 'decrypted' ones unusable for updates?
11:11:28B4gderwe're all busy doing rubbish
11:11:49LinusNGodEater: surprised, or disappointed?
11:11:54linuxstbLlorean: I think the "OF.bin" is a raw binary - no mi4 header. But mi4code should be able to convert it back to .mi4 format.
11:12:00LinusNi'm not surprised at all
11:12:01B4gderLlorean: the OF.bin file has the mi4 header stripped, so it won't work
11:12:19linuxstbOr if not mi4code, then scramble
11:12:52B4gdermi4code can do it too
11:12:56linuxstbCan users run a utility from Sansa to reinstall the original firmware?
11:13:03linuxstbs/Sansa/Sandisk/
11:13:14B4gderI don't know how the upgrade utility works
11:13:19Lloreanlinuxstb: So sansapatcher will need the -d option to re-encrypt the OF in the firmware partition?
11:13:32***Saving seen data "./dancer.seen"
11:13:39B4gderLlorean: it doesn't really have to encrypt it, just prepend the proper header
11:13:49Lloreanlinuxstb: The official upgrade process requires the built-in firmware to notice a PP5022.MI4 in the root, and copy it to the firmware partition.
11:13:56GodEaterLinusN: genuinely surprised - most of the good ideas(tm) seem to get at least a bit of a mention. I'll knock up a page now quickly from what I've just heard.
11:14:15linuxstbThe copy of the OF that sansapatcher makes in the firmware partition is in mi4 format already (with 100% plaintext).
11:14:31Lloreanlinuxstb: There's a recovery mode that you can copy an MI4 to, and then the recovery mode will handle copying that to the hidden partition, and you can use that in conjuction with an official firmware update tool, but I don't think we should require people to boot into recovery mode.
11:14:53LinusNGodEater: i'm never surprised when boring work is not done :-)
11:15:10linuxstbThe only problems will be people who have installed Rockbox prior to sansapatcher being made available. But maybe those people should be capable of restoring the OF.
11:15:28*bluebrother will never understand why people are using time book programs for sending email
11:15:37linuxstbi.e. sansapatcher will require an unmodified E200 (or an E200 previously modified by Sansapatcher)
11:16:15LloreanSubstituted "Unmodified" with "E200 running only the original firmware"
11:16:21LloreanMaybe

11:17:32bluebrotherhas anyone replaced the headphone jack on the h120?

11:17:47GodEaterhttp://www.rockbox.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/ViewPorts <−− initial effort, am about to knock up some imaginary sample graphics to go with it
11:17:50Lloreanlinuxstb: Many of them use that H300 tool to modify the images in their original firmware. Also, some of them may take "Unmodified" to mean "Never modified"
11:17:59bluebrotherLinusN: is it a special jack? Seems mine is a bit broken
11:18:28LinusNit is a common component
11:18:46bluebrotherso I can easily get it at any usual supplier. Good.
11:18:54LinusNyes
11:19:07LinusNthe remote control jack is a different beast though
11:19:16linuxstbLlorean: OK... It sounds like Sandisk have succeeded in selling their DAPs to the ipod-buying part of the population... :)
11:19:30LloreanOh, absolutely.

11:19:57LloreanThe sooner we have a process that limits the ability of user error to "brick" their device, the better. :)
11:20:10*bluebrother remembers he wants to finish that IR remote control for the h100
11:20:22pondlifeBut how many real bricks have ever been made?
11:20:56Lloreanpondlife: People have come terrifyingly close.
11:21:14linuxstbSo is restoring the OF a matter of just downloading the appropriate MI4 from Bagder's repository and copying to the device?
11:21:21LinusNit depends on how you define "brick"
11:21:49pondlifeFor me, I'd define it as "needs hardware mod to restore".
11:21:50dan333If I install cygwin will anything get uploaded or anything go to the net
11:21:51B4gderbrick as in they couldn't fix it so they sent it back seems to have happened multiple times
11:21:55linuxstbAnd either the upgrade will happen, or it won't - no risk of bricking?
11:22:03Lloreanlinuxstb: If you download the MI4 from Bagder's repository, you then have to either copy it over in "Recovery Mode", or copy it into the root of the Fat32 partition, then boot the OF a second time (it detects it on boot)
11:22:22linuxstbLlorean: That sounds harmless (the FAT32 option).
11:22:24LinusNit sure sounds like the sansa is quite brickable
11:22:28LloreanThe FAT32 option is very harmless
11:22:41linuxstbThen we simply need to tell users to do that before running sansapatcher for the first time.
11:22:46LloreanYou just have to shut down, and then re-run the OF, which can be counterintuitive to some people if they're dual booting Rockbox already.
11:23:02LloreanBut yeah, it's very safe.
11:23:07LloreanRecovery Mode is the opposite of safe.
11:23:33linuxstbYes, but if someone has a working install at the moment, there should be no reason to enter recovery mode?
11:23:56LloreanLinusN: Usually "Can't fix it" means "Isn't able to follow the directions, or isn't able to get e200tool working" rather than "It's physically impossible to recover" I think.
11:24:10LinusNit seems many sansa users are full of interesting ideas how to recover their e200 instead of following the instructions
11:24:11B4gderindeed
11:24:19linuxstbAnd I can add some checks to sansapatcher to make sure the Rockbox bootloader isn't already installed - e.g. checking that the size of the installed firmware is < 100KB.
11:24:29Lloreanlinuxstb: If they've got a working dual boot install, yes.
11:24:33LloreanWhich should be everyone
11:25:11B4gderbtw, if someone needs some good fun to try on their sansa...
11:25:24B4gderit is to put a filename with a .fmt extension in recovery mode
11:25:40B4gderfmt is for format

11:29:39LinusNi do hear much talk about recovery mode though
11:29:59dan333If I install cygwin will there be any changes like booting and stuff or is it just like normal software
11:30:13Lloreandan333: It's just normal software.
11:30:16B4gderlinusn: yes, but that's mostly due to rockbox has no usb support
11:30:41LinusNok
11:30:51dan333hey just one more question is any info or files sent to the net when I install and use cygwin
11:30:56B4gderso if the original firmware can't run and only rockbox can, only recovery can save you
11:31:01LloreanLinusN: Recovery mode shows a small partition when you plug in the device. You can copy files to it, and it'll do various things with those files, from the intended "recover your firmware" to the unintended "brick your player by writing garbage to the booloader"
11:31:38B4gderyeah, I think sandisk's biggest mistake was to not add more error-checks in the recovery mode
11:32:09Lloreandan333: You should read their license for that. Cygwin by necessity needs to connect to the internet to download components, so at the very least information can be drawn from that, if you want to be paranoid. But you should read up on what happens at their site.
11:33:00LloreanWell, in _theory_ nobody should have reason to enter Recovery Mode themselves.

11:39:26bluebrotherI think a page that lists some of the key combos over targets might help removing inconsistencies
11:40:04LinusNi think that consistency among targets is a little overrated
11:40:05JdGordondoes anyone mind me changing the long press to short press in the wps for browse?
11:40:25JdGordonon the sansa that is
11:40:36LloreanLinusN: I don't think it should be an absolute standard, but having the Central button on the player do different things on different targets can be frustrating.
11:40:41voltagexLinusN: the hardware is not consistent, so it is a little hard
11:40:56LinusNvoltagex: exactly
11:41:05voltagexLlorean: although my opinion matters zilch, I agree with you too
11:41:08B4gderI don't think consistency over target is overrated
11:41:19LloreanI think it's valuable, but not necessary.
11:41:25B4gderI like getting rockbox on a target I never held before nad being able to actually use it
11:41:27LloreanThere are a lot of places where it doesn't make sense.
11:41:36bluebrotherI like it that Rockbox behaves exactly the same on my mini as on my h120
11:41:43LloreanLike, the "Central" button on the Archoses is actually Play/Pause.
11:41:51bluebrotherI don't think it's crucial though.
11:41:57bluebrotherBut if possible it's a nice thing
11:42:06voltagexLlorean: but what does the Archos OF use that button for?
11:42:11linuxstbLlorean: I think button labels are just as important as button location though.
11:42:18Lloreanlinuxstb: I agree.
11:42:28Lloreanlinuxstb: I was stating the archos as a place where an exception is warranted for what 'center' does.
11:42:52LloreanBut the Gigabeat treats "center" somewhat differently, and it's just the center of the touch-cross.
11:42:53voltagexwait a sec. Shouldn't we aim to match what the OF does to a certain extent?
11:43:01Lloreanvoltagex: Not really, no.

11:44:02LloreanMy main complaint isn't the button location. It's the button purpose. If a button is the "Play/Pause" button in the WPS, I feel it should do what the Play/Pause button does on other targets in the other screens too.
11:44:10voltagexLlorean: ah, I see
11:44:16LloreanUnless there's a significant reason not to do this.
11:44:24voltagexI guess it's reasonable to expect newbies to adapt
11:44:25LloreanSuch as say, the lack of a stop button on the iPods.
11:46:08voltagexugh...sounds of death from my test box's hard drive
11:46:33*voltagex now knows another reason why he doesn't have a Pod
11:47:07LloreanAll being said though, so far only the Gigabeat and Sansa have caused me a little adaptation time after installing Rockbox on them.
11:47:28voltagexiRiver actually became more intuitive for me
11:47:32LloreanMainly the Sansa's really odd choice of what buttons invoke menus.
11:47:41Lloreanvoltagex: I meant compared to previous Rockboxes I'd used.
11:48:14voltagexLlorean: the buttons have changed slightly from 2.5 to SVN on the H340 :P
11:48:19voltagexselect/navi
11:48:27LloreanYou never had 2.5 on the H340.
11:48:39voltagexerr, well I don't know wtf I had then
11:48:49voltagexbut select was play instead of navi
11:50:46bluebrotherselect and navi are the same things

11:51:44bluebrotherbut I can't remember the play button to do that.
11:52:01LloreanI think it may have very briefly at the very very very start, as a button mapping bug, but I'm not sure.
11:52:30nlsmust have been a long time time ago, but you could still enter menus with play before the "root" menu
11:52:36LloreanEach target seems to start with slightly odd button mappings because someone just throws them together to get the sim to build.
11:52:41GodEaterLlorean,linuxstb or LinusN: Please just check I've not interpreted you all wrong -> http://www.rockbox.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/ViewPorts
11:53:28 Quit Soap2_ (Read error: 110 (Connection timed out))
11:53:35LloreanGodEater: Actually another aspect of viewports would be that a WPS can incorporate several of them for discretely positioned scrolling lines.
11:54:00GodEaterLlorean: I gathered that, but I only wanted to knock up something quickly ;)
11:54:18GodEaterso what you're saying is that what's there isn't wrong, it just doesn't show all possiblities
11:54:28LloreanThough I've always hoped they'd allow for me to pop up a playlist view in the bottom half of the screen while preserving the top half of my WPS, since most of my WPSes just have a space filler image in the bottom half.
11:54:41LloreanIt's not wrong as far as what I'd like to see come of it. ;)
11:54:54GodEaterLlorean: well knock up your own sample image then - it might inspire more student devs for SoC
11:54:59LloreanI don't know how right or wrong it is from the original intent though.
11:55:04linuxstbGodEater: I think you're expecting too much from viewports - my understanding is that at least at the beginning, they are just an extension of the "scrolling margins" type patches. i.e. you define a rectangular area on the screen and you draw into that area using the existing LCD API.
11:55:42linuxstbScrolling lines would only scroll within the viewport.
11:55:48peturGodEater: one thing is wrong though: you can't assigne different stuff of rockbox to different parts of the screen (like wps and browser), like you suggest there
11:56:05GodEaterso in fact, it is mainly wrong...
11:56:31petur"or virtual screens which can be written to seperately by various Rockbox tasks"
11:56:36linuxstbGodEater: At least compared to what's in my head, yes :) But others may be thinking differently.
11:56:55LloreanAs far as I'm concerned, viewports _should_ be able to allow the menu system to pop up "on top of" the WPS in their final form.
11:56:59GodEaterlinuxstb: well this was sort of the point of starting to write it down - so everyone can see what everyone else is thinking ;)
11:57:06*petur is off for some shopping
11:57:22pondlifepixelma: I've made some progress with tex4ht. Look at http://www.cse.ohio-state.edu/~gurari/TeX4ht/mn-unix.html
11:57:35LloreanYou should be able to, within your WPS, mark a "Viewport" as reserved or available for the list/menu, and that's where it should be drawn when Menu is pressed without stopping the music.
11:57:37pondlifeNow I need htlatex
11:58:02GodEaterI like that idea, but it seems initially the idea with ViewPorts is ONLY to be a feature of WPS type stuff
11:58:04LloreanOr so I think. This seems like an important advanced themeing option.
11:58:18GodEaterif I'm understanding linuxstb and petur
11:58:36linuxstbGodEater: No, they can be used elsewhere - e.g. for the "status bar" and "list" parts of the menu/browser screens.
11:59:00linuxstbOr we could have "pop-up" menus that appear centered in the screen.
11:59:34linuxstbBut yes, the main reason I think is to give more flexibility in the WPS
11:59:38GodEaterwell I'll leave it alone for a bit for others to either change or add to

12:01:00linuxstbAnother feature which I remember being mentioned is that text drawing within a viewport will still be line-based. Which I think implies a single font per viewport.
12:01:11GodEaterthat makes sense
12:01:11linuxstb(although maybe not...)
12:01:22Lloreanlinuxstb: I do remember that being mentioned.
12:01:24GodEaterit would make initial implementation easier certainly
12:02:01GodEaterand possibly wouldn't inhibit WPS authors too much
12:02:02linuxstbAnd backwards compatibility with "viewport-unaware" WPSs would simply be to render them in a single, full-screen viewport.
12:02:19GodEaterif they wanted a different font immediately below something, they just define another viewport for it

12:04:11LloreanFor multifont viewport-using themes, would we just have Rockbox rolo itself during the loading of the theme to reallocate the necessary buffers?

12:05:06 Quit Deft (Client Quit)
12:06:05GodEateris it possible to "comment out" stuff in the Wiki - I'd like to leave some of what I've written there, but not make it visible to the casual browser ?
12:06:05pondlifeWhy need to rolo? Surely this is a reworking of the current font loading code - that doesn't need a rolo?
12:06:39pondlifeMight need to have a configurable font buffer size.
12:07:10GodEaterah - just HTML comment it.
12:07:39Lloreanpondlife: If it's going to load multiple fonts, it'll either have to divide up the buffer so that each font has increasingly less space in RAM, or allocate new buffers for each new font loaded, requiring a RoLo
12:08:04LloreanThough, I suppose some clever loading code could work.
12:08:07pondlifeThe former sounds better.
12:08:11pondlifeIf possible!
12:08:20LloreanFor static text in the WPS, you load all the glyphs necessary from those fonts only.
12:08:36LloreanThen, as you buffer the songs, you also load the glyphs necessary for their metadata since it's already spun up the disk anyway.
12:08:44pondlifeDon't we only load glyphs as required already
12:08:47LloreanMenus and filetree only use one font anyway.
12:08:58Lloreanpondlife: As required is different from "in advance"

12:14:26LinusNGodEater: have two scrolling texts next to each other
12:14:54preglowwooot!
12:14:56GodEaterLinusN: that would mean me having to knock up an animation of some sort to display on the wiki - somewhat beyond my meagre creative talents
12:15:07LinusNLlorean: not much, the thing would be that the implementation would be simpler
12:15:54LinusNGodEater: no, you can easily show that the two texts are scrolling by taking the "snapshot" in the middle of the scroll
12:16:09GodEaterI think that's a fairly limited end goal. I'm not sure I understand why we shouldn't want to display multiple bits of RockBox functionality at once.
12:16:10LloreanGodEater: "Title: y to Heaven Artist: ppelin"
12:16:31LinusNGodEater: keyboard focus
12:16:45bluebrotherLlorean: looks funny ;-)
12:17:21Lloreanbluebrother: Yes, clearly they've both reached the end of their scroll simultaneously despite different text lengths.
12:17:21GodEaterLinusN: If we implemented it as Llorean suggested - with the desired "extra" information as a overlay, I don't think that would matter
12:17:24LinusNGodEater: in your example in the wiki, which of the two viewports have the keyboard focus?
12:17:44LloreanLinusN: If the Menu viewport only showed up when invoked, then it would always have the focus if visible.
12:17:46GodEaterLinusN: I see you argument with my example - but Llorean's idea is better
12:18:26*GodEater has now hidden his pic on the wiki page since it's clearly a bad example
12:18:30LloreanLinusN: You should be able to, within your WPS, mark a "Viewport" as reserved or available for the list/menu, and that's where it should be drawn when Menu is pressed without stopping the music. In this case, that viewport could be used for other purpose (or not display anything) when the menu is not active.
12:18:55LloreanFor example, I could show "Next track info" of various sorts on the bottom half of the screen, but that viewport has the "Menu" flag, and is replaced with the list when the menu is invoked.
12:18:56GodEatere.g. album art one minute, equaliser the next.
12:19:06LloreanIf I just press STOP though, I go back to the classic menu view, no WPS visible at all.
12:19:14LinusNdream on guys

12:23:41LloreanWell, I'd love for any plugins that make use of playback controls to allow the volume to be adjusted with them too.
12:24:10LinusNpixelma: yes, that's one of the long-term ideas
12:24:12markunyes, me too, but I don't think we should use global volume buttons in the plugins as we only have a few buttons
12:24:22phoenix16Alright lads.
12:24:26Nico_Pi hear viewport talk... has amiconn started work on them ?
12:24:43GodEaterNico_P: no - I asked what they were
12:24:54GodEaterand discussion / argument ensued ;)
12:25:00Nico_Pok
12:25:02markunI would like to use my new crosspad code for some plugins like doom and breakout
12:25:14phoenix16Does anyone here use Anapod?
12:25:21GodEatermarkun: I still want you to use to do accelerated scrolling in the browser
12:25:29Lloreanmarkun: Most of the plugins have more than enough buttons without the volume buttons. For those at least, the Volume Buttons should be incorporated.
12:25:29markunGodEater: yes, me too
12:25:36Nico_Pfrom what i understood they seemed a bit like subscreens
12:25:41markunLlorean: yes, it would be nice
12:25:56bluebrotherphoenix16: Rockbox doesn't require to use a itunesdb compatible software.
12:26:08Lloreanmarkun: Partially because I have a habit of playing Jewels while I listen to music, and frequently need to adjust the volume during that, and haven't bothered to hack together a patch.
12:26:09Llorean:)
12:26:10GodEaterNico_P: from the discussion that just happened, it seems a lot of people have a lot of different ideas about them
12:26:26Nico_PGodEater: very true
12:26:27bluebrotherLlorean: use ReplayGain ;-)
12:26:29pixelmapondlife: thank you for the link... strange I had found the ohio-state page myself but not this... I'll try ASAP
12:26:47Lloreanbluebrother: My files are replaygained. The problem mostly comes up when the ambient noise level increases or decreases.
12:26:51Nico_Pthat's why i think amiconn should start writing about the basic principles
12:26:52phoenix16Yeah, I know, but Yamipod has been giving me a bit of hassle with the previous and latest beta.
12:26:59markunLlorean: I think the remote buttons should also be 'global buttons' don't you think?
12:27:08GodEatermarkun: definitely
12:27:11pondlifepixelma: I'm now almost there I think. Looking for "pplrc7t.tfm"
12:27:13Lloreanmarkun: Except in the case of two-player games.
12:27:19markunI just wonder what the 'DSP' button should do
12:27:30LinusNin my view, a viewport is simply a clipping region, much like a window
12:27:42GodEaterDSP button ?
12:27:42markun(little speaker with a + which changes the DSP setting in the OF)
12:27:42Nico_Pwhen there are requests for new WPS layout features, people rply "viewports" without even being sure they are the right answer
12:27:48LinusNwhich, ultimately, could be used to draw info from several "screens"
12:27:51GodEateroh
12:28:00Nico_PLinusN: that's how i see it too
12:28:01GodEaterisn't mute a good option for it ?
12:28:07linuxstbphoenix16: This isn't the best place to ask for help with the original Apple firmware - as well as being off-topic, you're simply not going to find experts here.
12:28:29GodEaterI thought that's what it did anyway - although I've just realised I've never actually pressed it!
12:28:32pondlifeShould (0,0) always be the corner of a viewport? Or would that always refer to a physical screen and be clipped?
12:28:33Lloreanmarkun: It doesn't _have_ to do anything.
12:28:50LloreanGodEater: You don't really need "Mute" with an available Pause button.
12:28:51linuxstbpondlife: By definition, 0,0 is the corner of the viewport.
12:28:52LinusNpondlife: 0,0
12:28:59bluebrotherviewports should refer to their space
12:29:04GodEaterLlorean: true. I should think before I engage my typing fingers
12:29:05pondlifeOK, so slightly more than a clipping region
12:29:10LinusNyes
12:29:15pondlifeGood
12:29:19LloreanGodEater: It was my first thought too, but then I attacked it with a bit 'o logic.
12:29:29Nico_Pa sort of abstract screen
12:29:44*bluebrother goes for food
12:29:46GodEatermarkun: well in that case I vote for erm, CrossFeed. ;)
12:29:46pondlifebluebrother: Do you know much about tex4ht?
12:30:04phoenix16linuxstb: I'm not enquiring after apple firmware, I'm using rockpod myself but hadn't bothered checkn the irc till now. I was trying to see what you guys thought was the best software to use in conjunction with rockpod in your experience.
12:30:18markunGodEater: who wants to turn that off anyway :)
12:30:22GodEaterwth is rockpod ?
12:30:29phoenix16typo
12:30:37GodEatermarkun: dammit - another argument shot down ;)
12:31:20linuxstbphoenix16: Then that's a different question - I think most people just drag-and-drop files.
12:31:49GodEateralthough perhaps Crossfade is good. For me personally, I listen to a lot of pre-mixed dance stuff, which needs crossfade off, and a lot of other stuff which would benefit from it being on. So having a shortcut to it would be nice.
12:32:07GodEaterI think perhaps I should write my own patch though - it seems it might be a very personal choice
12:32:58markunyes, I can't see anything at the moment that everyone would want to use that button for
12:33:10LloreanIt's probably best left unused then.
12:33:14pondlifepixelma: I am getting an error "−−- error −−- Can't find/open file `pplrc7t.tfm'".. I do have that file in my Adobe palatino font, but am not sure why this is being used for HTML... Any ideas?
12:33:25GodEateris there a good place in the settings menu to assign a shortcut key based on user preference ?
12:33:45phoenix16One other thing, after switching from the apple firmware, did you notice a hefty reduction in scroll rate, even when loading to RAM? Is there a plugin out there that I may have overlooked perhaps...?
12:34:48pixelmapondlife: no idea for html - but afaik the palatino font family was chosen for the pdf-manual
12:35:06pondlifeIndeed, so why is it being referred to for the HTML one?
12:35:27pondlifeI am of course assuming we are going TEX -> HTML, not TEX -> PDF -> HTML
12:35:32pondlifeAnd I can build PDF ok..
12:35:58amiconnViewports are a general concept to ease implementing anyting that needs to draw to a part of the display, and might be placed/sized differently based on other things on the display
12:36:11amiconnE.g. status bar / list / button bar
12:36:26pixelmapondlife: I think you'd have to ask bluebrother, he did all the stuff related to building the html-manual...
12:36:44pondlifeThought so.. I'll wait for him to lunch!
12:36:57pondlifeBack later...
12:37:03amiconnToday, the list code needs to take adjust placement and size depending on whether the status bar / button bar are enabled / disabled
12:37:21amiconns/take//
12:37:26markunamiconn: I think it's a great idea

12:41:36GodEaterI'm not sure I agree on his pixel-based placement idea, but of course he's entitled to his opinion ;)
12:41:58LloreanI think he missed the "It's not supposed to break current WPS syntax" bit.

12:43:31markunme?
12:43:44GodEateryou have an alter ego ?
12:44:06markunI'm not sure what you are asking me
12:44:29GodEaterBernardKethlayne added comments to my ViewPorts page, and he indicates he's working on font stuff
12:44:41markunno, it's not me
12:44:42GodEaterI was wondering if that was a clue to his IRC nick - if he even has one
12:44:57GodEatercos otherwise I've never heard of him
12:45:20LloreanHe's edited two other pages since the third of this month, but just to add a link to another page.

12:55:43thewhoWhat's the difference between iaudio X and iaudio M? And when was iaudio M started? I can't find it on amazon.
12:55:45LloreanBut the bootloader still needs to load the OF from the firmware partition.
12:55:52LloreanRight?
12:56:00linuxstbAt the moment, it only works properly if you restore the OF firmware first.
12:56:23linuxstbAh, plus it only checks a single key - the win32 binary I uploaded has the new "sansa_gh" key.

12:58:39LloreanAre we still assuming we might one day get a better AAC from somewhere, or would fixing ours up be a good SoC project idea?
12:58:49B4gdernew web site server has arrived, soon to be installed...
12:59:38LinusNLlorean: define "better"
13:00
13:00:12linuxstbthewho: I think there are 2 M5L models available (brand new) on ebay (from a UK seller). But it seems very hard to find, so I'm assuming it's discontinued.
13:00:17markunLlorean: perhaps the work being done by the ffmpeg guys is useful
13:00:45barrywardelllinuxstb: do I just do a make? that gives me a whole lot of errors on my mac
13:00:51linuxstbMost of the ffmpeg guys don't seem that interested in fixed-point codecs, they're using CPUs where floating point is faster...
13:01:11pixelmathewho: there were a few new sold by a british ebay shop (mp3direct) on ebay.co,uk
13:01:16LloreanLinusN: More efficient (no huge boost ratios), the ability to play large files (it seems to die at a certain size or length, I'm not sure which), and the ability to play a wider range of AACs since I think we still have metadata limitations.
13:01:17linuxstbbarrywardell: I haven't tested it on a Mac yet, but it should work... Try "make sansapatcher-mac"
13:01:24thewhopixelma: without radio = bad for me :-( I'll probably buy X5L then
13:01:39linuxstbbarrywardell: That will create a universal binary.
13:01:57barrywardellok
13:02:10pixelmathewho: yes, that's what I miss too with it
13:02:17linuxstbbarrywardell: If it fails, pastebin the errors (maybe switch to PMs...)
13:03:11thewhothewho: people here seem to underestimate radio :-)
13:04:30LloreanLinusN: While I don't use AAC for the most part, I think right now if we were to move toward release, it'd have to either be decided to be not supported, or have some work done on it to qualify as a release-ready codec.
13:05:18LloreanEspecially the filesize limit, and if there are still any metadata problems those. Both are 'valid' files, that don't play. Though I think Lear has cleared up most (all?) of the metadata issues.

13:05:45phoenix16Here, can you lot answer me one more thing: Is file browsing speed increased when you drop the music directly onto the ipod, instead of getting rockbox to initialise music that was put there by iTunnes?
13:06:26markunI think rockbox development works pretty well without having releases. We saw last time that a feature freeze doesn't really work.
13:07:46GodEaterphoenix16: it makes no difference one way or the other
13:08:11B4gderphoenix16: the difference is that when you've used itunes, browsing the file tree for music isn't much fun
13:08:55phoenix16B4gder: because whilst more versatile, rockbox is inherrantly slower?
13:08:58markunphoenix16: or are you talking about the difference between the file browser and the database browser?
13:09:09B4gderphoenix16: no
13:09:28B4gderbecause itunes scrambles the file names
13:09:43GodEaterB4gder: I think he means the scroll speed
13:10:02 Quit thewho ("CGI:IRC")
13:10:03phoenix16markun: I'm experiencing a 'jerky' scroll rate that slows up quite considerably at time whilst browsing through music.
13:11:25phoenix16Aye, itunes does that. That's why I wondered if I wiped the iPod of the music which was originally transferred by iTunes, and simply dropped the files on to the device as they are, would there be any change.
13:11:47markunphoenix16: no, it's not caused by itunes
13:13:14phoenix16markun: so is what I am describing typical, or?
13:13:34GodEaterphoenix16: it's typical, someone is working on improving it
13:13:35***Saving seen data "./dancer.seen"
13:14:24phoenix16Right, I didn't know that till now. So, guess it's just a case of checking the updates regularly.
13:14:52markunthere are various things that can be improved: font drawing, list drawing, scroll accelleration
13:15:11markunphoenix16: yes, rockbox is being improved all the time
13:15:20linuxstbmarkun: I think releases are good, but I think we've learnt that Rockbox needs to be very close to release-quality BEFORE any feature freezes.

13:50:48bluebrotherfound it: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_and_British_English_spelling_differences#-ise_.2F_-ize
13:51:32pondlifeYep
13:51:38pondlifeWell, I learnt something new
13:51:55pondlifeYou rarely see -ize used in the UK, it looks odd
13:52:27pondlifeBut if that's the way then better get it consistent
13:52:36pondlifehttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oxford_spelling
13:52:38LloreanIn general, I think I lean toward what most Americans would consider British spellings (not wholly, though), but I prefer -ize.
13:52:54LloreanAnd yes, I caught that -ize is not an Americanization, it just seems to be.
13:53:07pondlifeThere are lots of those of course!
13:54:42ShaidI think it should be wikipaedia. :D

13:55:29pondlifeOK, I'll put it back and update the manual.
13:55:45bluebrother oh, we have a conclusion? ;-)

13:56:23pondlifeneccesarily being the Bad English spelling
13:57:09bluebrotheronce we all agreed we should document that somewhere ... maybe adding a command line for aspell to LatexGuidelines

13:59:34Lloreansimmel: The only video codec currently supported (in a limited fashion) is MPEG2
13:59:43simmelOk.
13:59:48simmelThanks Llorean
13:59:49LloreanAnd, by the transitive property of backward compatible codecs, MPEG1 as well, I suppose.
14:00
14:00:37simmelI wanted mpeg4/h.264 as iPod and PSP have = (
14:01:42LloreanThe iPod and PSP also have video decoding hardware.
14:02:01LloreanBut you're free to try to implement an h.264 codec for Rockbox, I'm sure many people would applaud you as a hero.

14:04:16simmelSince h.264 is slow on my regular computer (but ofcourse, not in low-res as the iPod/PSP-video-files are) I don't think it will be an success = )
14:05:17iwantanimac"Note: A new image is being distributed that enables to compile the manual and the sims without further configuration." - What does this mean, exactly? Is there a newer file than on the wiki?
14:06:30iwantanimacanyone? Should i download the file on the wiki page oris there a better one?
14:06:43Lloreaniwantanimac: What wiki page are you talking about?
14:06:46LloreanWe can't exactly read minds.
14:07:09iwantanimacthe VMWare Development Environment one... http://www.rockbox.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/VMwareDevelopmentPlatform
14:07:15iwantanimacsorry =P
14:07:33LloreanAs far as I'm aware, v4 is the newest.
14:07:41LloreanHave you tried it? Does it compile Sims successfully?
14:08:22iwantanimacnot sure. it's just i lost the one i downloaded before and it's going to take a while to downlaod, and i don't want to download something that'll be out of date too soon...
14:09:07LloreanWell, that one should be the most recent.
14:09:22iwantanimacok thanks, Llorean.
14:14:00pixelmaB4gder: did you implement the output of "make zip" recently?
14:14:06 Part simmel
14:14:14nlspixelma: yes he did
14:14:27bluebrotherhmm. Gets me the idea, couldn't we post jigdo files for the vmware image?
14:14:53iwantanimacjigdo?
14:15:10bluebrotherpondlife: for the html manual, tex4ht does tex -> dvi -> html
14:15:33pixelmathere's just a slight inconvenience for hwcodec... it says "Bitmap: yes; Depth: 1; Swcodec:" <- last thing is blank but shouldn't it display something like "Codec: software/hardware"?
14:16:12linuxstbbluebrother: Ah, so it's like torrents, but downloading from many servers, instead of peer-to-peer?
14:16:40linuxstbs/it's/jigdo/
14:16:41bluebrotherno, it's some kind of binary diff (at least afaik)
14:17:00iwantanimaclinuxstb & bluebrother: torrent would also be good...
14:17:09bluebrotherafaik debian uses that
14:17:30pondlifebluebrother: Did you see the error I was getting? Referring to an Adobe font file...
14:17:35linuxstbAh yes, that's listed as one of the many features....
14:17:50bluebrotherit splits the file into small chunks, and if the file changes you need only download the changed chunks.
14:18:15linuxstbBut is a vmware image compatible with jigdo - it seems to work on iso images...
14:18:23 Join Thundercloud [0] (n=thunderc@82.152.249.242)
14:18:52bluebrotheras far as I understand it jigdo can do this with any binary file. But I might be wrong
14:19:27LloreanWouldn't the problem be that if you've even compiled Rockbox once, your VMWare image is going to be very different, unless you keep the original archive around?
14:19:50linuxstbBut yes, it seems very well suited to distributing the vmware image, if it works. It's also a good way to split bandwidth amongst servers.
14:20:12linuxstbLlorean: That's true...
14:20:21bluebrotherLlorean: yes, but one could keep the 7zipped file
14:20:40bluebrotherI don't see a reason why to distribute the image unzipped anyway
14:20:44LloreanYeah, as long as you tell them to keep the .7z it should be okay.
14:20:57LloreanBut then, how different would the compressed image be?
14:21:08bluebrotherjust tell users to keep the file to make updates faster
14:21:17LloreanI'm not very familiar with compression, but if you took the VMWare image, installed a couple packages, then recompressed it, wouldn't you end up with a decently different file?
14:21:18bluebrotherI guess someone needs to try.

14:21:46JdGordonI'm very late.. but back to the viewport discussion... how about giving each viewport a callback function to do the drawing? so you could have multiple "screens" open and updating at any one time?
14:22:23 Quit webguest90 (Client Quit)
14:22:24pondlifeBetter to just make the viewpoint interface identical to the existing screen interface, surely

14:22:55JdGordonwhy identicle? as long as its backwards compatible.. or easy to convert it should be fine

14:35:16*linuxstb spots that ffmpeg have also been accepted for SoC 2007 - http://wiki.multimedia.cx/index.php?title=Summer_Of_Code_2007
14:35:27JdGordonB4gder: the only difference between the e220 and e200r is the bootloader right? do you need to then use e200* in the langs for it to work properly?
14:35:42thewhoWhat are the major blocks being worked on? I mean really significant changes like the main menu recently. Or is RB considered more or less good und has to be just polished a bit?
14:35:42linuxstbTwo interesting projects - finishing AAC, and implementing Monkey's Audio.
14:36:24JdGordonthewho: there is always something being fixed...
14:36:30JdGordonor updated... or improved
14:36:33Lloreanthewho: Unifying the playback engine, metadata on buffer, viewports, figuring out the battery life problem for portalplayers, USB stack....
14:37:21thewhoLlorean: could you pls explain what you mean by "unify playback engine" and "metadata on buffer"?
14:37:47linuxstbthewho: I think there are two separate areas: 1) Bringing the new ports (especially portalplayer targets) up to the same standard as the other ports; and 2) Adding new features to Rockbox, such as USBOTG, viewports etc etc
14:38:14Lloreanlinuxstb: I though there were license issues with Monkey's Audio.
14:38:19linuxstbNew ports will always be in development, and I think it's unlikely we'll ever run out of ideas for features.
14:38:41JdGordonthewho: metadata on buffer is storing the tracks metadata onto the audio buffer instead of into a static buffer...
14:38:46Lloreanthewho: "Unifying the playback engine" is something that won't really affect users, but it means removing a lot of the differences of how playback is handled between the hardware codec and software codec players.
14:38:46linuxstbLlorean: Only with the existing decoder. I assume they want to implement a new decoder from scratch, under a sensible (probably LGPL) license.
14:38:48thewholinuxstb: 1 I do understand. But it will be essentially the same RB. I meant changing RB itself
14:38:48amiconnLlorean: I *hope* viewports will happen before SoC
14:38:56JdGordone.g album art and lyrics and id3 info
14:39:10Lloreanamiconn: I think the questions wasn't related to SoC, but generally where Rockbox is going.
14:39:12amiconnThat is, they should be available from the driver(s)
14:39:15linuxstbthewho: Rockbox will always evolve.
14:39:20thewhoJdGordon: what benefits would it bring?
14:39:22Lloreanamiconn: At least, that's how I was answering it. "Major points of interest"
14:39:43Lloreanlinuxstb: Since they were pointing at the LGPL'ed JAVA implementation, I'm guessing so.
14:39:50JdGordonthewho: well, it would mean we could have album art, or lyrics in the core so you dont need a patch to use them
14:40:00JdGordonalso it makes more efficient use of the buffer.. and such
14:40:18nlsand it removes the 32 track on buffer limit
14:40:21Lloreanthewho: Metadata on buffer is mostly stuff the user won't see, but it'll allow a lot of expansion as to how some features can be added.
14:40:32Lloreannls: A limit that's very noticeable these days with some of our new formats.
14:41:02iwantanimacAnything happening with the MIDI implementation?
14:41:11Lloreaniwantanimac: Nobody's working on it, I believe.
14:41:25LloreanIt's a difficult task to tackle.
14:41:31thewhoLlorean: so most changes are for the better internal structure, right? Except for viewports of course
14:41:57JdGordonno, but the major ones are
14:42:04Lloreanthewho: You asked what the major blocks are, better looking stuff is rarely going to be a 'block'
14:42:12JdGordonnls: MoB wont nescacerly remove that problem...
14:42:21LloreanJdGordon: It should allow it to be removed, shouldn't it?
14:42:32 Join himitsu [0] (n=himitsu@203.205.119.46)
14:42:36amiconnStill, when viewports are available, the high-level code still needs to be adapted to actually use them
14:42:37linuxstbJdGordon: One of the reasons for MoB is to remove that limit, so I would hope it does.

14:43:03Lloreanamiconn: I'm sure once they're available, all manner of patches making use of them will crop up.
14:45:16nlsLlorean: or they will do what they use to: complain that they will have to re-sync and instead tell people to use an older revision of the code
14:46:05Lloreannls: There'll be some of that too.
14:46:24LloreanBut all we have to do is introduce a killer feature immediately _after_ that requires viewports to work.
14:46:28LloreanJust something simple, but shiny.
14:46:41nlsyes, that is a good idea :-)
14:46:54iwantanimaclol
14:46:58LloreanThen all the "UI has to be very shiny" people will start reimplementing stuff the viewport way.
14:47:03*Llorean isn't cynical at all.
14:47:16*JdGordon has a very interesting boot screen on the sansa!
14:47:26JdGordonit looks like a barcode!
14:47:31JdGordonthe display that is
14:47:32thewho Font antialiasing would also be nice IMHO
14:47:58B4gdergood-loocking, but resource hungry
14:47:59amiconnjhMikeS: Any news on your pcm rework idea?
14:48:01LloreanFont antialiasing is rather unlikely any time this decade.
14:48:17Shaidprobably be easier to do scene antialiasing
14:48:22LloreanThe cost/benefit ratio is way in the bad area for that one.
14:48:30Shaidbut still not really worth it
14:48:37*amiconn would like the playback.c <-> pcm interface to be both simple and flexible enough to adapt it for hwcodec playback
14:48:44*pondlife too
14:48:57*[IDC]Dragon too ;-)
14:48:58B4gderantialias is put in the same basket as animated backgrounds ;-)
14:48:58iwantanimacnot worth it on small resolution screens either.
14:48:58LloreanWould that be SoC material then?
14:49:08thewhoLlorean: why? Is it that hard? At least for greyscale displays it shouldn't (e.g. H120)
14:49:36iwantanimacbigger things like the iPod Video would benefit, but things around the 200px mark would just look horrible.
14:49:43pondlifeI was hoping jhMikeS would document a replacement PCM interface as part of the low latency work.
14:49:52Lloreanthewho: For the grayscale displays it might not be hard, but you can't ignore the color displays.
14:50:09Lloreanthewho: You either A) Need two different font formats, or B) Antialiase the fonts during the draw stage costing battery life.
14:50:39*pondlife gets even more fed up with Data Abort posts from iPod owners with old bootloaders.
14:50:40pixelmapondlife: how did you get tex4ht to compile? I seem to do something wrong...

14:56:21LloreanIf it became "Official" I'd very much like for it to default for the Patch-dependent themes to be hidden.
14:56:29LloreanJust a simple checkbox somewhere, and a cookie, for them to become visible
14:56:38LloreanBut a conscious action on the part of the user being needed to make them available.

15:02:54*jhMikeS has learn to interpret "crash" as "freeze" around here
15:03:03linuxstbLlorean: Another issue with the themes site is copyright - I'm assuming that a fair proportion of those themes use non-original graphics...
15:03:11JdGordonbarrywardell: compiler complains if I dont..
15:03:12Domonokycan somebody close FS #6709 ?
15:03:23JdGordonundefined reference
15:03:31nlsJdGordon: <source> and <dest> should be the same in english.lang
15:03:36B4gderDomonoky: tell me your flyspray user name and I'll hand you the powers to close
15:03:39linuxstbLlorean: So maybe we don't want it...
15:03:44JdGordonoh, woops
15:03:48Lloreanlinuxstb: Ah, there is that. But then our wiki has most of those themes too.
15:03:58linuxstbLlorean: Which I don't think it should...
15:04:16 Quit thewho ("CGI:IRC")
15:04:19bluebrotherDomonoky: closed
15:04:25Domonokythx
15:04:34Lloreanlinuxstb: Yeah, but we don't really have a way to keep them out without someone going through and reviewing constantly
15:04:48barrywardellJdGordon: what complaint does the compiler give?
15:04:50Lloreanlinuxstb: If Rockbox-themes.org became official, we could require that each theme be approved somehow before posting.
15:04:56B4gderDomonoky: ok, I found your user and you now have the powers to close and edit tasks
15:05:08linuxstbLlorean: Yes, that's one of the reasons I prefer a dedicated website, rather than the wiki.
15:05:10JdGordonbarrywardell: usb-pp.c:(.text.usb_init_device+0x1a4): undefined reference to `dr_controller_setup'
15:05:19DomonokyBagder: thx
15:05:21bluebrotherbtw, and thoughts on using a theme file format like I proposed in FS #6156?
15:05:22Lloreanlinuxstb: As well as requiring the author to include a virtual signature of some sort, a text file stating they own the copyright, or have permission to use, all images
15:05:22JdGordonand dr_controller_run and dr_controller_stop
15:05:38barrywardellJdGordon: you need those, they're the key
15:05:45Lloreanlinuxstb: Oh, I'm all for cleaning up both the presence of patched themes, and copyright infringing ones.
15:05:49JdGordonoh nuts :p
15:05:55linuxstbLlorean: Yes, along with redistribution permissions - e.g. somethign creative-commons like, so other people can post modified versions of existing themes...
15:05:57barrywardellthey're in firmware/drivers/arcotg_udc.c so make sure that's included
15:06:35JdGordonah yes.. thats not compiled for BOOTLOADER
15:06:54Lloreanlinuxstb: Perhaps a checkbox that lets them pick one of the CC licenses, or the GPL even?
15:07:12jhMikeSDue warning: All this low latency stuff will have more buffer overhead since things can't be processed to pcm buffer depth in advance so it might as well be all 32-bit.
15:07:22linuxstbLlorean: I think it would be easier if a single license was selected, and people needed to agree to use it to upload themese.
15:07:35GodEaterlinuxstb: I vote for Creative Commons
15:07:54iwantanimacseconded.
15:08:13iwantanimacthat keeps the open source feel.
15:08:14Lloreanlinuxstb: So just the "Creative Commons Attribution" license?
15:08:18jhMikeSfor codecs at least...2 codec channels when xfade enabled
15:08:22GodEaterthough once again, I remain aware Rockbox isn't a democracy ;)
15:08:36linuxstbI don't know the details of the different licenses, but I would like one that's in the spirit of the GPL.
15:09:01iwantanimaccreative commons sort of is...
15:09:05GodEaterdiff CCAL GPL > Licenses.diff
15:09:08Lloreanlinuxstb: Attribution is basically "You can do whatever you want with it, as long as you attribute the original to me" I believe.

15:10:34barrywardelljust don't put any music on it!
15:10:38Lloreanlinuxstb: And I don't believe you're free to relicense the work, so it's very similar to the GPL in intent.
15:11:19linuxstbOK, so now all we need is someone to develop the site...

15:12:19B4gderhe was involved in the tetris case for the US side
15:12:22linuxstbbluebrother: Yes. But obviously we need to see what RedBreva's intentions are - if he wants to make his site official, or carry on as it is.
15:12:43JdGordoniwantanimac: iirc its commented out...
15:12:45Lloreanlinuxstb: Even if he doesn't want to become official, maybe he'd contribute the site's source code so we have a good starting point for the official one.
15:12:51barrywardelliwantanimac: not yet. I should be once the tuner is working (and yes)
15:12:59bluebrotherif he doesn't want to make his site official I could look into the code I wrote that time for a new themes page

15:13:56iwantanimacbarrywardell: it needs to be to get FM working, right? As a noob to C, where would i best set it (Having multiple targets is confusing. You guys are awesome)?
15:14:04*JdGordon wonders how the OF database can be so painfully slow!
15:14:16LloreanJdGordon: I wondered that too. Sansa, right?
15:14:20JdGordonye
15:14:21Domonokylinuxstb: if you could update the mac binary of rbutil, it would be very nice :-)
15:14:29JdGordonless than 500mb of music on it!
15:14:31LloreanJdGordon: On the plus side, sometimes it'll "finish" when the bar's only about 1/3 to 1/2 of the way full.
15:14:41LloreanIt still takes forever to even get to that point, though.
15:14:43preglowwhy isn't the target,target,target = "String" notation used in english.lang for identical strings?
15:14:59JdGordonall this and it didnt even do the firmware update :'(
15:15:10preglowhaving a ton of separate identical strings just seems annoying

15:18:13LloreanGodEater: I had an employee at Best Buy recognize my Rockbox shirt, though she'd never tried the software herself.
15:18:38iwantanimacLlorean: I want a rockbox shirt!
15:18:39bluebrotherhehe ... we need a merchandising shop ;)
15:18:47GodEater.... you have a t shirt ...
15:18:47jhMikeSsuppression is definitely the wrong word for it :P
15:18:57Lloreaniwantanimac: They aren't available. They were given out at the developer's meeting last year.
15:19:10barrywardelliwantanimac: I'm not sure. I think it's quite possible that we have to figure out how to enable power to the tuner
15:19:14B4gderbluebrother: shipping is so depressingly annoying and expensive when the customers are all over the globe...
15:19:24GodEateriwantanimac: design one yourself!
15:19:36GodEaterthere's plenty of bespoke T-shirt people on the 'net these days
15:19:37B4gderI got to play the rockbox store when I sent out the shirt leftovers
15:19:46GodEaterI've done about 5 or 6 now that way

15:20:02bluebrothertrue ...
15:20:03LloreanB4gder: Someone could always start a Cafepress shop with the Rockbox logo on various stuff. I don't know how complicated / painful that is though
15:20:12B4gderthat's very easily done
15:20:22GodEaterB4gder: there needs to be an interflora type thing for that sort of merchandise.

15:21:20B4gderas long as I won't have to go somewhere to ship them I'm fine ;-)
15:22:51bluebrotheras far as I understood they will produce and ship the shirts for you.
15:22:54iwantanimacbarrywardell: So the main problem at this point is actually turning power on to the tuner.
15:23:14*bluebrother fails to find shipping costs to US
15:23:15Lloreanbluebrother: Cafepress is similar but offers some additional merchandise.
15:23:16barrywardelliwantanimac: that's my best Idea at what's wrong, yes
15:23:31barrywardelliwantanimac: I suspected a gpio port, but couldn't find anything
15:23:47GodEaterLlorean: what other merchandise would Rockbox ship ?
15:23:55bluebrotherLlorean: never heard of that.

15:30:24preglowdo they, now
15:30:26LloreanOooh.
15:30:26B4gderat least they did last year
15:30:30LloreanI hope I get to be a mentor then.
15:30:51preglowi'm considering signing up, problem is i still don't know how much i'll be gone this summer
15:30:56preglowminimum a couple of weeks
15:30:58LloreanI see how it works though: The project gets money, the student gets money, the guy who decides whether the student gets money or not gets a pat on the back and a T-shirt.
15:31:05*jhMikeS is too freaked by the notion someone might actually listen to what he says
15:31:26Llorean;)
15:31:55B4gderpreglow: each student would most probably get two mentors anyway, so a single one should be able to be absent like that with little problems
15:32:16preglowi might have internet access if i do disappear anyway
15:32:22preglowit's not like i'm a mentor to commit code
15:32:31LloreanNot to mention we're a pretty tight community, so I'm sure people can pitch in as necessary.
15:32:37B4gderindeed
15:32:54B4gdermy hope is that the mentors are more formally "responsible" than in practise
15:33:28*GodEater thinks he might make a rockbox teddy bear
15:33:29preglowwell, if the students join us on irc, i don't think the practicalities of getting help or guidance will be much of a bother anyway
15:33:34preglowand we should indeed encourage them to do so
15:33:39B4gderindeed
15:33:57B4gdergetting them into our dev community will be a big part of the mentoring
15:34:11preglowi see the mentor more as a person making sure progress is made

15:34:27LloreanI think the biggest responsibility of the mentor is the midterm check and the final check to see if the goals are met, right?
15:34:36B4gderyes, most probably
15:34:36LloreanWell, the biggest "set" responsibility
15:34:38jhMikeSsounds more like a boss than a mentor
15:34:49preglowjhMikeS: no one would apply if they were called bosses :>
15:35:02LloreanjhMikeS: Considering those two checkpoints determine whether Google hands over the cash to the student, it unfortunately kinda is.
15:35:11jhMikeShow do you paddle students over the internet anyway?
15:35:29LloreanIf we're lucky they'll give us their real world locations and we can send enforcers. :-P
15:35:37GodEaterB4gder: who sets the amount of money ?
15:35:39preglowthe Google Grunts program
15:36:58desowindo you require other info than google with student applications ?

16:01:56amiconn*if* tuners offer that, it's usually called "local/dx"
16:02:02jhMikeSI need to know the level that gives best result for you though. This time you got all those hits but at 1 higher level so I'm guess 6 or 7 would probably work well.
16:03:38jhMikeS5 is actually a very sensitive level. A logf build can tell you what the levels were on the hits and on the ones actually added.
16:05:16jhMikeSthe builtin auto search uses levels 5,7 and 10
16:06:03preglowDomonoky: excellent
16:07:42preglowbuiltin search?
16:09:01preglowi love the stations which have a high pitched sine which gets modulated along with the main signal
16:09:10preglowperhaps it's a harmonic of the carrier wave or something

16:33:08linuxstbDomonoky: Just spotted the commit...
16:33:19jhMikeSpreglow: what about the skipped ones?
16:33:22preglowlinuxstb: basically just the wiki page, doesn't say anywhere you can't use a unicode version
16:34:13linuxstbpreglow: It doesn't say you can either... The default way to build wx is non-unicode.
16:34:24preglowjhMikeS: some of them are perfectly clear
16:34:35jhMikeSIf their dumb radio chip can't tell a signal from background noise it's hopeless
16:34:49Domonokybut it would be good, if it can be build with unicode..(premade wxWidgets packages are unicode normally)
16:34:51linuxstbBut anyway, did Domonoky's commit help fix that problem?

16:41:54B4gderlinuxstb: students apply with multiple projects
16:41:58jhMikeSpreglow: I'd be curious on one more test: turn off the de-emphasis flag. Just comment the B5_WR_DTC out on line 250 and reset the level to 5. Then I'll stop bothering you. :)
16:42:01preglowGOD, how i _HATE_ gcc's c++ errors
16:42:17B4gderlinuxstb: and google can in fact let the projects decide which should get which student I believe
16:42:26GodEaterpreglow: look on the bright side - they used to be much MUCH worse.
16:42:29B4gderat least there were some cases last year

16:48:16preglowjhMikeS: should i notice it on the audio anyway?
16:48:29_kelinuxstb, you mean i should take one issue from the ipod-todolist and create an application for that with some ideas how to resolve that issue?
16:48:36Domonokyand the build system shouldnt rebuild on commits on rbuitl
16:48:41jhMikeSdon't think so, should affect the tuner

17:20:27linuxstbDomonoky: But I think I would prefer the preview image to be part of the page - e.g. with "next/previous" buttons to browse through the available themes. It's awkward to have to click preview, and then close the window between each theme.
17:22:06Domonokyi had, the preview image as part of the page, but the problem is that the images have different sizes depending on target..
17:22:06linuxstbCan't wxwidgets handle that though?
17:22:06Domonokyand i dont know how to resize the wizardpage

17:56:56linuxstbGodEater: It's not just Gentoo - Debian doesn't have wx2.8 yet either...
17:57:31linuxstbbarrywardell: Is the low volume definitely a DAC issue, and not a problem with the i2s transfer truncating the samples?
17:58:33barrywardelllinuxstb: not definitely, but the DAC gain is only at 50%, which could be higher IMHO
17:58:41barrywardellmaybe it's a bit of both
17:59:03linuxstbGnelik: There's a patch (but not very nice IMO) for the Gigabeat in the patch tracker which you could use as inspiration. IIUC, both the Gigabeat and Sansa LCDs work in a similar way.
17:59:23Gneliki am looking at it now
17:59:39Gnelikbut gigabeat has double buffer
17:59:58linuxstbYes, which the patch turns into a triple-buffer...

18:01:10linuxstbI've just got a Gigabeat, and can now see why there is a desire to rotate the screen - the file browser could definitely benefit from being landscape.

18:01:49Gnelikbut its need code changing not only in lcd driver
18:02:10Gneliki'd like to do run time option
18:02:17amiconnGnelik: Rotating permanently should only require changing the lcd driver

18:02:51Gnelikamiconn but if code draw straight to the buffer
18:02:52pondlifeamiconn: When the LCD rotates, does the keymap too?

18:03:13barrywardelllinuxstb: really? I think portrait works quite well on the gigabeat lcd
18:03:27LloreanBagder: You here? I need to ask a quick favour.
18:03:32Frode_Gnelik: what are you rotating for the sansa?
18:03:43amiconnGnelik: The buffer would be rotated as well. The actual rotation would happen in the buffer->lcd transfer
18:04:34amiconnNo drawing functions would need changing, only lcd_init_device, lcd_update and lcd_update_rect
18:04:36Frode_would be cool to have the whole menu / rockbox firmware rotated on the sansa, or an option to choose if you wanted it horizontal or vertical
18:04:37linuxstbbarrywardell: I've only used Rockbox on the gigabeat very briefly though - but at least the file browser would be better in landscape - I tend to have short lists with long names...
18:04:52amiconn(and lcd_yuv_blit)

18:05:56Lloreanlinuxstb: My lists tend to be about 50% taller than they are wide, in most cases.
18:06:00amiconnFrode_: An option would be really difficult, but a custom build which has everything rotated would be simple, if the lcd controller docs are available
18:06:01preglowDomonoky: str doesn't seem to work out of the box
18:06:16Lloreanlinuxstb: I'd definitely say that any rotation of the lists should be optional rather than forced.
18:06:22Frode_amiconn: okay
18:06:24amiconnI know it would be dead easy to rotate rockbox on H300, X5 and the colour ipods except the video
18:06:54Gnelikamiconn why do you think it would bó difficult
18:06:57Gnelik?
18:07:11linuxstbLlorean: Yes, I'm not saying my lists are shorter than they are wide, just that I am happy to do more vertical scrolling if it means less horizontal scrolling of my filenames.
18:07:13Gnelikto make option
18:07:19amiconnRockbox currently relies on LCD_WIDTH and LCD_HEIGHT being constant
18:07:25amiconnRotation would break that
18:07:30jhMikeSjust use 320x320 framebuffer and switch the drawing to use the right bit of it
18:07:47Lloreanlinuxstb: Ah, actually I can agree with that, but only a very small percentage of my filenames are wider than the screen. I tend to use small fonts anyway.
18:07:59amiconnjhMikeS: The framebuffer is not the problem. The app layer is
18:08:00Lloreanlinuxstb: It all pretty much boils down to personal preference on this one, anyway.
18:08:19amiconnA 320x320 framebuffer would be a waste
18:08:33amiconnAn ipl like waste, btw
18:08:44linuxstbBut isn't most of the app layer now using the GUI API - which has the width and height of the screen as variables?
18:08:49preglowDomonoky: where the hell did you find out about it anyway? i can't find it in the wxwidgets docs
18:08:52Gnelikbut if we do LCD_WIDTH = lcd_rotated ? LCD_HEIGHT_P : LCD_WIDTH_P;
18:08:54Gnelik???
18:08:58jhMikeSbut easier I think...how much memory is in that anyway?
18:09:16linuxstbI think we could concentrate on core Rockbox - plugins would be however the plugin author chooses to make them.
18:09:20Frode_anyone made templates ready for encoding use on TMPGEnc 4 XPress? Im trying to find the optimal settings for the sansa.
18:09:45amiconnNo matter how much resources are there, if you start wasting them, you'll end up with resources being tight before long

18:13:19GnelikHey any thoughts of makuing lcd size valiables?
18:13:24amiconnjhMikeS: The waste is unnecessary, btw. A 320x240 frame takes the same space as a 240x320 frame, at least if depth >= 8
18:13:47jhMikeSof course...multiplication is commutative
18:13:59preglowDomonoky: sure is a lot of warnings of other natures here as well
18:14:07linuxstbGnelik: The first problem will be the build system - bitmaps are linked into Rockbox at compile-time based on LCD dimensions.
18:14:30amiconnlinuxstb: Afaics (and iirc, it's been a while since I looked at it), the ipl framebuffer is always the same size, big enough to fit the largest lcd
18:14:36*jhMikeS just want ahead changed the build system doing an 18bit rockbox for x5
18:14:58preglowclass GlobalVars????? :>
18:14:59jhMikeSwent and ahead and changed it even...boy my typing stinks
18:15:12linuxstbamiconn: OK. I'm probably just remembering framebuffers in userland applications...
18:15:13LloreanjhMikeS: Is there an advantage to 18bit (other than the obvious "2 bits" response)
18:15:49jhMikeSI never found one...but I found it comforting it only took a few hours to do
18:16:04Domonokypreglow: in this class, all the settings are saved.. (its from christi)
18:16:22Gneliklinuxstb but making another build isnt good idea too
18:16:38linuxstbGnelik: No, we don't want that.
18:16:52preglowDomonoky: oh, i know what it is, it just isn't very good c++ :)
18:16:53preglowheh
18:16:55jhMikeSThe main advantage really is some smoother appearance
18:17:29Lloreanlinuxstb: As far as I can think of, the only bitmaps that would need to be rotated (for a rotation that just affected WPS and Lists) would be the icons and status bar?
18:17:43LloreanOr rather, the only BMPS, and I don't know if they depend on width/height anyway.
18:17:54jhMikeSbut somehow it wasn't very smooth...seemed like some things looked worse. Grayscale wouldn't suffer from greenish levels though.
18:18:09Domonokypreglow: yeah there are better methods, but i didnt want to change everything :-)
18:18:11linuxstbWell, the icons are hard-coded into Rockbox and are the same for all targets - they're not external BMPs yet.
18:18:16bluebrotherBagder: when I edit a task that has no priority set it defaults to "critical".
18:18:29 Part lavid
18:18:42Lloreanlinuxstb: That's kinda what I meant. I don't think any actual BMPs that are loaded would be rotated, would they? (Assuming the only rotations were WPS and Lists)
18:19:02bluebrothercan that be changed to default to something used more, like "low"? I already set some tasks to critical that way ...
18:19:04linuxstbIf we ignore plugins, then I don't think the bitmaps will be a problem.
18:19:11LloreanI think we can safely ignore plugins.
18:19:13*jhMikeS wants color icons
18:19:20Gnelikif we rotate buffer
18:19:30LloreanPlugins can choose which screen orientation the feel best suits their needs anyway
18:19:32linuxstbBut I would also assume the icons will be the same, regardless of screen orientation.
18:19:35Gnelikonly LCD__HEIGHT and WIDHT would be a problem
18:20:02LloreanThough one point I'd like to make, right now, is that if you allow a rotation 90 degrees, I'm going to have to insist you allow it 270 degrees so that we lefties get treated fairly. :-P
18:20:09Gnelikother things wouldn't even know that thay are rotated
18:20:18linuxstbAlthough it doesn't seem that big of a problem - looking at the code now, most of the Rockbox GUI is now in the "screens API", which initialises width and height variables with LCD_WIDTH and LCD_HEIGHT.
18:20:46linuxstbSo rotating the screen could be feasible - just reinitialise the screen api with width and height reversed.
18:20:48GnelikLlorean maybe 45 :)
18:21:20linuxstbAlthough there are a small number of screens which don't use that API yet...
18:21:29Gneliklinuxstb but defines are replaced by their values befour compilling
18:22:07jhMikeSdefine them as screens[0].width/height?
18:22:14LloreanGnelik: Yes, but as he said, they're stored in variables after that, which aren't.
18:22:24Gnelikok my bad
18:22:35Llorean:)
18:22:40LloreanI didn't catch it on my first read.
18:23:34amiconnLlorean: Leftie support is trivial if we have 90° rotation. It would just be 90° rotation plus display flip
18:24:03Lloreanamiconn: Isn't display flip a hardware feature of the LCD in most cases? We'd get a mirrored mode, rather than a flipped mode with 90 degree, no?
18:24:15linuxstbBut if the rotation is done in software, then we would need two optimised lcd_update() functions...
18:24:18LloreanOr are you talking about simply drawing "WIDTH-X" rather than to "X"
18:25:09Nico_Pisn't there already a patch to rotate the gigabeat screen ?
18:25:30linuxstbNico_P: Yes, but only at compile-time, and it's not optimal.
18:25:31jhMikeSwhat on Gigabeat need to be optimized :P or are we talking throughout?
18:25:33perl|workNico_P there's but its very weird
18:26:01Nico_Pperl|work: how ?
18:26:02linuxstbjhMikeS: As amiconn said, if we waste resources, we'll run into problems at some point...
18:26:13linuxstbEven 300MHz worth of resources...
18:26:20LloreanjhMikeS: Well, at the very least, it could arguably be worthwhile for the Sansa (if it's worthwhile for the Gigabeat) and in reality, if we do it on one, there's not a strong reason not to make it available to all, I think.
18:26:23Nico_Pi didn't try it because i'm comfortable with portrait... to me it even was a feature :)

18:49:31crash91and it saysa to try with a renamed file
18:49:51 Join FOAD [0] (n=dok@dinah.blub.net)
18:50:02crash91can someone explain this? do we remove the sansa from USB?
18:50:05Domonokyjeah the same crash, i heard also from other, dont know what causes this..
18:51:30crash91do we remove the sansa from the USB to rename? how because the bootloader hasnt been installed
18:53:24preglowDomonoky: just check if it still works with you, then commit it or something
18:53:31preglowDomonoky: and see if i've done something stupid
18:54:04linuxstbcrash91: Just try with the default "pp5024.mi4" filename first, and if it doesn't work, rename it to "firmware.mi4".
18:54:32linuxstbcrash91: But have you done the first two steps successfully?
18:55:02 Quit topbloke ("bye")
18:55:13crash91i havent put anything on my sansa as of yet...i am fully preparing to get rockbox on it
18:55:20crash91so i dont screw anything up =D
18:56:02Domonokypreglow: will do
18:56:22crash91ive decrypted the orirginal firmware, put rockdoom.wad on the unzipped version of rockbox thats it for now
18:57:40crash91linuxstb:got it...i didnt understand something =p
18:58:26crash91linuxstb: Ill report back when i (hopefully) successfully install Rockbox
18:59:19linuxstbcrash91: Or if you're happy to wait a few days, there should hopefully be a new, dead-simple, install procedure.
19:00
19:00:36crash91are they making an installer? and will it be before sunday?? I cant wait to put Rockbox on my sansa
19:01:32Lloreancrash91: A tool that will do all the bootloader installation stuff for you is being worked on. Then you just need to extract the Rockbox.zip, run the tool, and you're done.

19:03:50crash91Llorean: Heh....idc....ill go through with it now , ill report when finished. Is there any chance of anything going wrong? (I have understod everything the installer instructions say)
19:04:32linuxstbcrash91: Past experience shows that lots of things can go wrong... But if you follow the instructions precisely, it should be fine.

19:05:51crash91linuxstb: its gonna be amazing =D
19:06:09linuxstbBe warned it's still in a very early stage though.
19:08:40crash91ok..one last question..
19:09:05crash91how do we update rockbox with the latest builds? just replace .rockbox and rockbox.e200?
19:09:20lavidcrash91: but you need to boot into OF since usb doesn't work yet
19:10:01linuxstbcrash91: Yes - you only need to do the bootloader installation once (unless new bootloaders are released, which happen very rarely).
19:10:50crash91thanks a lot for your help

19:17:24crash91I LOVE ROCKBOX!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! W000000T
19:17:52_AmblinWell before you start celebrating, turn the player off and attempt to boot into the original firmware.
19:18:03crash91omg
19:18:14crash91data abort at 00041428
19:18:25_AmblinTurn it off and try again.
19:18:27crash91nothings working...restarting
19:18:38_AmblinI believe some people have that issue first time you boot rockbox.
19:18:55_AmblinIt seems to only appear once, then go away.
19:18:59crash91ok
19:19:14crash91you hold |<< as soon as tyhe player boots right?
19:19:20_AmblinYes.
19:19:28crash91W00000T

19:20:12crash91does battey monitoring work accurately? lol
19:20:33_AmblinNo, at this point, not at all.
19:20:38crash91because original firmware says half-full, but rockbox says low battery
19:20:40nlsno, the port is in a very early stage
19:20:46crash91oh i thought it worked

19:22:35crash91when do you think rockbox is gonna be released proper? a month?
19:22:45Ice8luegood evening
19:22:52nlsnot that soon, that's for sure :-)
19:23:04crash91=)
19:23:18crash91well, ill wait
19:23:28crash91i have a whole new firmware to explore =D
19:23:31nlsand for the sansa I would be _very_ surprised if it is released within a year from now
19:23:37_AmblinNot until atleast USB handling is developed, and without the all important docs it could take a while.
19:23:39crash91and good evening ice
19:23:51Ice8lue=)
19:23:56crash91yeah...USB is the most important thing right now
19:24:34Ice8luei think that wont take that long
19:24:39|Rincewind|if someone wants to test my rec button config patch, I just uploaded a new version to Flyspray: http://www.rockbox.org/tracker/task/5555#comment13965
19:24:51crash91brb
19:25:23_AmblinWell, the iPod still doesnt have USB handling (though no lack of effort), and they are based on the same chip as the sansa.
19:25:25nlscrash91, Ice8lue the iriver h100 players have been supported by rockbox since 2005 and work very nicely, yet we haven't released for them
19:26:00_AmblinSo I guess as soon as the iPod gets USB support, so will the Sansa.
19:26:24linuxstbI'm sure it will be developed for all PortalPlayer targets together.
19:26:25Ice8lueits just the question what is called a "release"...if it works, it is ok, no matter if it is THAT build or just a daily
19:30:53crash91nls: ok
19:31:15crash91my dad was being pessimistic about the install but now hes stuck playing chess on it lol
19:32:38crash91any one know how to change the font size?
19:33:03Domonokyinstall the fontpackage
19:33:12crash91ok will do

20:06:53Nico_Pscrolling and sublines should be quite easy
20:06:57linuxstbNico_P: Something you may like to work on (or not...) is loading bmp files from a .tar file - I posted a patch to do that on flyspray, but it requires the bmp files to be in the same order as they are listed in the .wps file. Maybe you can think of an efficient way to fix that....
20:07:55Nico_Plinuxstb: i'll probably try to think about it but but it's not really related to my current work
20:08:05Crash91ice?
20:08:13Ice8lueya?
20:08:24linuxstbNico_P: No, but it requires understanding of the WPS code in order to do it well...

22:17:41barrywardellI had a go at getting it working with rockbox, but have failed so far
22:17:55aegray_where are you at (in terms of functionality)?
22:19:00barrywardellthere is no real functionality currently. I had a decent bit of the code from the linux driver adapted
22:19:39barrywardellhow far have you got?
22:20:00aegray_i can recieve packets but so far I'm having trouble sending them back
22:20:36aegray_the host sees the 18 bytes i send back for a device descriptor but then times out on it - and I dont know enough about usb to know how to make it finish
22:21:47andrewg867barrywardell: i've kinda started on an fm chip driver on the sansa
22:21:58barrywardellthat's further than I got. is this with rockbox?
22:22:08andrewg867http://aliant.ath.cx/~andrew/sansa/lv24020lp.c
22:22:09barrywardellandrewg867: great. any progress yet?
22:22:14aegray_its in a little test os i have
22:22:44andrewg867I have no clue on if its even going to work at all yet, this is basically the first time I have done any 'real' C
22:22:59andrewg867most of the code came from the LCD driver
22:23:08barrywardellandrewg867: you're basing it off MrH's documents?
22:23:25barrywardellaegray_: have you looked at e200tool? that has a usb driver built into it
22:23:34aegray_e200tool?
22:23:37aegray_where do i get that?
22:23:40andrewg867barrywardell: yeah, http://daniel.haxx.se/sansa/tuner_interface.txt

22:24:02barrywardellaegray_: http://daniel.haxx.se/sansa/e200tool.html
22:24:25andrewg867i'm pretty confused at the moment about how to get it to write to the registers on the chip

22:35:06bluebrotheryou noticed http://forums.rockbox.org/index.php?topic=7417.msg72121#msg72121 ?
22:35:38bluebrotherI'm not sure, but as this is a completely wrong tutorial it maybe should get deleted?
22:35:41Lloreanbluebrother: Yes, I was just composing a PM to him.
22:36:20bluebrothergood. I was surprised how bad that post is.
22:36:38bluebrotherespecially as it's absolutely wrong
22:37:48LloreanIt was pretty terrifying.
22:38:57LloreanThough in the end, I think he just confused ipodpatcher.exe with the 2.5 installer for some reason.
22:40:30bluebrotherhe also gave another set of badly worded installation instructions we already have in a way better way in the manual :o
22:40:52LloreanYep
22:40:53scorchedid you link the wrong post or something?
22:40:58preglowLear: any info on how useful it is?
22:41:07Lloreanscorche: No, he linked it mere seconds after I'd already clicked the delete button.
22:41:11scorcheah
22:41:32bluebrother*sic* another attempt in the Compiling forums to do things the overcompicated way.
22:42:16LearNot really, other than ffmpeg having one of their SoC projects read "Finish LC AAC decoder and implement HE-AAC(+)".
22:43:36preglowah, so ffmpeg is entering again

22:45:40aegray_restore it
22:45:58scorcheor follow the uninstallation instructions int he manual...
22:46:00Domonoky_i think ipodpatcher can also remove the bootloader
22:46:28Domonoky_or you could test rbutil, it also has uninstallation capabilties :-)
22:46:59scorcheaegray_: please dont suggest something like that unless there is not other option...
22:47:09aegray_:( k
22:47:27preglowit's a bit drastic when ipodpatcher is as easy to use as it is, yes
22:47:44preglowwhat with losing all the files and so forth
22:47:53Ranbeehi, i've been using rockbox for nearly 2 weeks now and i really like it 8) i wanted to ask if anyone uses unison or rsync, or something like that on linux? does anyone recommend a file syncing program? i just need to sync the podcasting directories - one on the computer and the other on rockbox.
22:48:39*Bagder uses rsync
22:49:22RanbeeBagder: does rsync both delete and update audio files? i had it in my head that it only did one of those??
22:49:32Bagderrsync -avW −−progress −−size-only −−delete /data/mp3/* /mnt/archos/
22:49:47Ranbeegreat. i'll try it out thanks
22:50:24RanbeeBagder: and that will update new files too?
22:50:41Bagderyes, but only from host to target
22:50:57Ranbeethat's fine then, i'll try it thanks.
22:51:23Bagderand if you remove a file on host, it will remove that one on target
