00:15:15stripwaxNico_P - if you're reading this, it looks like the recent wps commit didn't fix the problem after all. So scrolling next-track metadata works ok but scrolling other dynamic data (e.g. time elapsed) no longer seems to update.

00:48:10*amiconn wonders why petur doesn't use letoh16() for sample loading, instead of ifdefing
00:48:52Lloreanamiconn: I think those macros have been overlooked several times in the past for other things as well.
00:48:53peturbecause he doesn't know about it?
00:48:53amiconn...and you don't need to #ifdef rb->lcd_update() anymore
00:49:06amiconn(besides the plugin isn't for charcell anyway)
00:49:27peturoh, did I miss one - thought I removed them all
00:49:40amiconnIn fact you not only don't need to, but you shouldn't
00:49:55peturany more critics? ;)
00:50:20amiconnletoh16() is a macro, which expands to swap16() for be targets, and to identity for le targets
00:50:31amiconnSee system.h
00:50:44peturwill try, thanks
00:51:06LloreanAre there other useful macros like the Endian macros, that do important but common things, that maybe we should just list somewhere (assuming they aren't)?
00:52:27amiconnpetur: Yes. There are some C++-style comments (I don't mean TODOs, where I also often do this deliberately, and a strange comment in line 40
00:53:08peturhmmm leftovers

01:06:10pl1So I am running rockbox on my 20gb 4g greyscale ipod. My workstation is a Linux box. Any suggestions for an application to manage my MP3s on the iPod. The only thing I really miss from iTunes is smart playlists.

01:08:18Fortehi
01:08:21Stalwartafaik it had some playlist generation thingie
01:08:26Fortequestion
01:08:42Forteif i put rockbox on my ipod video and i dont like it
01:08:50Fortecan i go back to the apple interface
01:08:57pl1yes
01:09:02Stalwartyes, just allow itunes to "repair" it
01:09:02peturyou can even dual-boot
01:09:21Fortehow hard is it to put it on there
01:09:46Fortei was gonna put it on my mini
01:09:48Stalwartit's put by default
01:09:50Fortebut i think it completly died
01:10:11Stalwartrockbox bootloader allows to boot rockbox or original firmware
01:10:27Fortek
01:10:31Stalwartbut i'm pretty sure you'll use rockbox, it's good ;)
01:10:32Fortewhere is the downloader
01:10:50Fortethe main reason im asking is if i break it
01:10:54Fortei can go back to original
01:11:00Forteto send it back
01:11:06Stalwartyou can't break ipod by manipulating with firmware
01:11:20Fortei broke my mini by dropping it
01:11:21Fortelol
01:11:24Forteit sometimes works
01:11:31Fortetoday isnt one of those days
01:11:50peturunless you break it so you can't switch it on again to remove rockbox.... the risk is always there... but what's life without any risk?
01:11:54Stalwartin worst case your ipod will show "please repair me using itunes" screen
01:12:17Forteso does it nativlely support mp3s and multiple video formats?
01:12:19LloreanIf you physically break your iPod by dropping it, that should invalidate most warranties anyway.
01:12:24Stalwarti was even doing tripple-boot (appleos + rockbox + linux) on my nano
01:12:51Soap2Forte: you don't need to use itunes to restore your ipod if you don't like rockbox
01:13:05Soap2the bootloader installer has an uninstall option.
01:13:31Fortesweet
01:13:37Soap2the manual has instructions and links for all your install needs
01:13:57Fortemainly im sick of the way i have to keep my tunes
01:14:04Fortecopy and paste music folder
01:14:13Fortethen you gotta have itunes organize
01:14:16Fortewaste of time

01:15:17Soap2Rockboxand your mini and video don't go hand-in-hand.
01:15:43Soap2unless I've missed something and it's B/W screen is now supported for video.
01:15:51Forteno no

01:16:08LloreanVideo doesn't play well on the iPod Video.
01:16:20Forte...
01:16:29LloreanThe processor in it is quite slow.
01:16:57LloreanThere's a special chip for video decoding, but it can't be used by us yet, and isn't likely to be for a long time, if ever.
01:17:20Fortelol ok
01:17:26Forteso thats what dual booting is for
01:17:26LloreanWhat's funny?
01:17:27Forte:P
01:17:41LloreanAlso, Rockbox only supports one video format. There's no good reason for multi-format support.
01:17:53Fortek
01:18:04ForteI downloaded the .zip
01:18:08Fortebut I cant figure it out
01:18:25TrueJournalsread the manual
01:18:28Soap2No, dual booting is because Rockbox supports everything it can. You can dual boot the Mini, as well, even though it doesn't have video.
01:18:49Soap2The manual is most excellent.
01:18:49LloreanForte: Seriously, read the manual.
01:18:56Fortek
01:19:16TrueJournalsThat's one of the things I love about rockbox. The manual is awesome because normal people write it
01:19:39TrueJournalsAnd then if it doesn't make sense to someone... it can easily be edited

01:22:00TrueJournalseh :-\
01:22:09TrueJournalsCan never please everyone
01:22:13LloreanUnfortunately, those people who tend to think the manual is too complicated never seem to be able to tell us how we could give the same information in a simpler way.
01:22:30Forteok I am confused on part of the manual
01:22:41TrueJournalsperfect timing ;-)
01:22:44Fortedo I extract the contents of .rockbox
01:22:51Forteor just put .rockbox in there
01:23:05TrueJournals.rockbox is a folder... and it should remain a folder
01:23:06ForteOh no, the manual is great!
01:23:09Soap2put the whole folder, extracting the .zip file will do that for you.
01:23:11Forteok thanks
01:24:42ForteOh, I notice the Win32 thing
01:24:46ForteI am running Win64
01:24:50Forteshould it still work

01:28:49LloreanHonestly, in my slightly obsessive-compulsive nature, "My bad" bothers me more than "damn". ;)
01:28:56Soap2Many people miss the fonts, why do you think you do.
01:29:08Fortei dunno
01:29:09pl1how do I switch an iPod into disk mode?
01:29:12Soap2? I'm curious why many people seem to ignore that step.
01:29:30Soap2pl1: depends on the ipod
01:29:36LloreanSoap2: Probably the same reason people skip the "Installing the Firmware" step.
01:29:36pl1Soap2: human nature an extra obvious step is ignored
01:30:09LloreanPeople assume that the "Bootloader" bit is the start, or people assume that 'Bootloader+Firmware, what else could there be?'
01:30:10pl1Soap2: er optional not obvious
01:30:10pl1Soap2: it is a 4g
01:30:49Soap2Menu+Select to hard reboot, as soon as the apple logo flashes upon your screen select+play.
01:31:18Fortehey it told me to reboot
01:31:20Forteand uh
01:31:35Forteit didnt work the old way
01:31:53TrueJournalsI'm a bit curious... how do you shut down rockbox on an ipod, and what exactly does that do?
01:31:58Fortenever mind
01:34:32Soap2TrueJournals: long press of play powers off.

01:37:35Fortelol
01:37:43TrueJournalsWas that to me?
01:37:45Soap2yes
01:38:06TrueJournalsAs opposed to sleeping like the apple firmware does :-p
01:38:44Soap2that takes much more in-depth knowledge of undocumented hardware.
01:39:05Soap2and it would be the first Rockbox target (?) to sleep.
01:39:13Fortenow how do you boot into normal ipod
01:39:16Fortejust wondering

01:46:45Fortewhat is a tar.gz file
01:46:59TrueJournalsLatest looks like from March 22... it is pretty out of date
01:47:14Soap2I stand corrected on point #1
01:47:18TrueJournalsForte: It's a different type of file compression. A program like WinRAR will handle it with no problem

02:55:53donutman255 minutes ago
02:56:09TrueJournalsLlorean: No I'm not... that's what I figured but since it was in the manual and there wasn't a bug report, I thought it was in there
02:56:19TrueJournalsIt should be removed from the manual if it's not avaliable
02:57:11TrueJournalsdonutman25: guess you're out of luck...
02:57:22donutman25thanks anyway
02:57:49barrywardelli think the pitchscreen could easily be added for the sansa
02:58:02barrywardellI'd imagine anyway....
02:59:14LloreanTrueJournals: I thought he said he couldn't find it in the manual.
02:59:41Lloreanbarrywardell: It probably just needs a keymap. The Sansa badly, badly needs some keymap revision in my mind though.
02:59:44donutman25i looked in the manual twice but could not find it
02:59:54angusthefuzzi asked this yesterday but it looks like new people are around: The new build of the sansa e200 port corrupts the topmost line of pixels on my player for both the rockbox and factory firmware. This is not the case when only the factory firmware is installed.
02:59:59barrywardellLlorean: in what way?
03:00
03:00:01LloreanI really don't like having a single press lead to the context menu, and a different button lead to the normal menu

03:00:56TrueJournalsAlong with keys describing how to use it...
03:01:09barrywardellLlorean: the keymap was made before rockbox was even running on the sansa, so you're probably right that there could be a better choice
03:01:42Lloreanbarrywardell: It's mostly what's assigned to the Power button and the "Playlist" button, or whatever you choose to call the one at the bottom of the wheel
03:01:46barrywardellangusthefuzz: that's a known problem. there is a forum thread about it and I think a bug report too
03:02:07angusthefuzzcould you point me to the thread? I am an avid C programmer
03:02:14angusthefuzzi would love to help
03:02:19Lloreanangusthefuzz: Is your Sansa the 1.0 or 1.1 hardware? This is suspected to be an issue with the 1.1 hardware,
03:02:30donutman25guess i didnt look hard enough )
03:02:38angusthefuzz1.1 hardware (new scrollwheel) what else is different?
03:02:53 Quit blithe ("Be right back.")
03:03:03barrywardellLlorean: I guess nobody has found the time to revise the keymaps. I did a bit once we had rockbox working, but I agree it could do with more tweaking
03:03:22 Join blithe [0] (n=blithe@shrv-c-068.resnet.purdue.edu)
03:04:14Lloreanbarrywardell: I'll admit, I could do it myself too, but I keep finding other things that I'm working on. :)
03:04:24barrywardellme too :)
03:04:59Lloreanangusthefuzz: We don't know, but the 1.1 hardware seems to be the version with the line. Possibly a different LCD controller.
03:05:31Lloreanbarrywardell: Someone did an RMAA test at the anythingbutipod forums showing the contrast between Rockbox and the original firmware, by the way
03:05:45barrywardellangusthefuzz: here's the thread http://forums.rockbox.org/index.php?topic=9282.0
03:05:57angusthefuzzthanks alot barrywardell
03:06:00barrywardellLlorean: oh yeah? i haven't seen that
03:06:28Lloreanbarrywardell: Indeed, it's even post "audio-fix" patch that's compared
03:06:34LloreanSo it shows that fix patch is still quite off.

03:08:16barrywardellhmmm, seems we're still a good bit off. someone needs to spend time playing around with the settings on the AS3514 for a start
03:08:29LloreanSomeone with RMAA set up, preferably. :)
03:08:53barrywardelland spare time!
03:09:01LloreanLots of it.
03:09:09LloreanDoes RoLo work on Sansa?
03:09:23barrywardelli don't think so
03:09:33barrywardelli'm not sure why
03:09:37LloreanUnfortunate. I imagine that'd make it easier.

04:13:34safetydanWell it's 12:14 pm here. This channel needs more Australians :)
04:13:41TrueJournalsheh
04:13:59Forteso what other cool stuff can i do with rockbox
04:14:02Fortebesides drag and drop
04:14:07Fortecause thats awesome
04:14:27TrueJournalswatch videos...

04:14:37safetydanForte, try playing some music then go to the Plugins menu and select the oscilloscope
04:14:40Fortei can watch videos with my ipod
04:14:40LloreanRockbox is mostly about audio functionality. See the manual, there's equalizers, replaygain, dithering, a whole host of formats.
04:15:29TrueJournalsIf I was going to re-rip my music collection, what would be the best format to use?
04:15:37Fortemp3 or wma
04:15:50Fortei like the quality of wma
04:15:55Fortebut mp3 is more streamline
04:15:59Lloreanwma is kinda crappy.
04:16:05TrueJournalsI was just going to say that
04:16:24TrueJournalsIn case you didn't know... rockbox doesn't support wma
04:16:34LloreanMost listening tests suggest that non-Pro WMA is the only current format that *doesn't* compete.
04:16:44TrueJournalsheh
04:17:31LloreanAAC, MP3 (using LAME), Vorbis and MPC all compete pretty well for transparency-point
04:17:47LloreanIf you want low bitrate, Vorbis with teh AuToV tunings is often considered good.
04:18:02LloreanFor high bitrate, MPC is popular, though if you're going archival you should just use a lossless codec
04:18:16safetydanWhat about WavPack? Isn't that the one that supports hybrid files?
04:18:33safetydan(not on Rockbox, but you can keep the lossless diffs for your PC)
04:18:51LloreanYeah
04:18:59LloreanBut honestly lossy wavpack isn't so great (in my personal experience at least)
04:19:14LloreanBut I haven't done a listening test with it, so it could just be placebo effect: I think it sounds bad, so it does sound bad. :0

05:46:34saratogallorean: I just noticed those Sansa RMAA results. Given that it shows 0 dB of stereo seperation in the retail firmware, I'd say his test setup has issues
05:46:55saratogacan you ask that guy to run RMAA on his own PC?
05:47:18saratogai don't have an ABI account, and he hasn't posted here
05:47:50Lloreansaratoga: I told him to post here. If he doesn't, and does respond to my asking him to, I'll ask him to. Otherwise if he's not willing to acknowledge or be helpful, I doubt asking for further information would help.
05:48:06LloreanI have an Sansa, how hard/easy is it to do a good RMAA test? I could maybe try tomorrow too
05:48:20saratogapretty easy
05:48:24saratogayou just need a loopback cable
05:48:30saratogai grabbed one off my PC speakers
05:48:49saratogayou load the wave + calibration tone it comes with into the player
05:49:11saratogaloop the calibration tone until RMAA is happy that you've matched the levels properly
05:49:27saratogathen play the test tone, it recognizes, and then spits out the report
05:49:53LloreanAnd this RMAA 5.5 from audio.rightmark.org is all I need?
05:49:59saratogayeah
05:50:10saratogawell that and a PC/loopback cable obviously
05:50:19LloreanYeah
05:50:32LloreanYou mean by a loopback cable, one with stereo mini plugs at both ends?
05:50:37saratogaits also nice if you post the results from doing a loopback test on your own PC too, so we can be sure your PC is ok
05:50:39saratogayeah
05:50:44LloreanYeah, I've got a pile of those. :)
05:51:02LloreanTomorrow I'll do a full series of tests, I think
05:51:16LloreanSo that I have comparisons on each of the Rockbox-capable players, just for curiosity's sake
05:58:16LloreanShould I just run the "Wizard"?
05:58:41saratogayeah the wizard is fine
05:58:48saratogai think
05:58:54saratogapretty sure its all basically the same
05:59:07saratogaalso, if you really want to do some interesting tests
05:59:15saratogai've been looking to get more "loaded" test results
05:59:25saratogasince those are often much more intersting then unloaded
05:59:44LloreanWell for now, I'm just figuring out how to use the software, by testing my own computer
05:59:50saratogaso if you have a pair of 16 ohm headphones and a splitter, I'd love to see how the sansa handled those
06:00
06:00:00saratogathe ipods look pretty bad that way, the h120 looks pretty good
06:00:03saratogayeah sure

06:09:38maskedis there any plans to support them fully?
06:10:22saratogaLlorean: your sound card sort of sucks :)
06:10:25saratogabut it should be fine
06:10:40saratogajust the SNR figures will be limited by your sound card
06:10:49saratogawhich is fine, since no one really cares about them on a portable anyway
06:10:59saratogaeverything else is more then fine
06:11:36Lloreansaratoga: Laptop
06:11:45Lloreansaratoga: I can try it on my desktop tomorrow
06:11:54LloreanThough it's I think using an old Audigy or some such
06:12:35saratogayeah my laptop gives almost identical results
06:12:42saratogaso all of my numbers have the same SNR limit
06:12:45Lloreanmasked: Rockbox doesn't really make plans for the project as a whole, outside of things like significant UI design philosophy changes. It's unlikely to happen unless people who own such devices do it
06:12:48saratogawhich is fine since SNR is pretty useless anyway
06:13:02Lloreansaratoga: I'm tempted to try on my other laptop, since it's actually supposed to be "good"
06:13:10saratogaok
06:14:09saratogajust if you use the audigy (or any Creative sound card), make sure you record at 48khz on the PC end (probably want to leave the test signal at 44.1k)
06:14:35LloreanWhy's that?
06:14:41saratogacreative's drivers mangle 44.1khz audio
06:14:46maskedLlorean: fair enough
06:14:51saratogaparticularly on the Audigy cards
06:16:05Lloreansaratoga: Ah, just making sure it was a creative thing. This laptop has some "High definition audio" buzzword-happy something in it
06:18:15saratogathat probably means realtek or something like that
06:18:26scorchein otherwords, "not integrated"
06:18:28LloreanI know one of the laptops is Conexant
06:18:36saratogaquality on those devices seems to be set by the analog stuff, so it doesn't tell you much
06:18:40saratogacould be good or bad
06:19:03scorcheugh...the realtek are not good at all..
06:19:10saratogadepends how cheap the board maker is
06:19:14saratogasome are pretty good
06:19:20LloreanThis laptop though is SigmaTel
06:19:37scorchei have a realtek on my asus...not good at all
06:19:44saratogaDACs are all pretty similar these days
06:19:52scorcheac'97 is the typical chip
06:19:53saratogamostly depends how good teh analog stuff you hookup to them is
06:19:56LloreanAlright, making a Sansa build with the patch now.
06:20:06saratogaand since no one uses rightmark, companies know they can skimp
06:21:38Lloreansaratoga: If I zipped together the saves from my PC, gigabeat, and Sansa, would you take a look at them? I have no clue what to look for.
06:21:54saratogai'd love to
06:22:07LloreanIt'll just be a few more minutes for me to prepare the build, etc.
06:22:12saratogasure
06:22:41saratogathe summary rightmark gives at the top is actually pretty good
06:22:57saratogathough the SNR and noise aren't a big deal with portables, since you don't listen to them in very quiet places usually
06:23:01saratogaor with big amps
06:23:45saratogajust got to remember that with headphones, everything looks way better without the headphones
06:24:15saratogaI.E.: http://www.duke.edu/~mgg6/rmaa/Ipod3G/fr.png
06:24:39LloreanYeah, but right now we're just testing if we've got the audio working right.
06:25:13saratogayeah sorry
06:25:15saratogai realize that
06:25:22Llorean:)
06:25:24LloreanJust sayin'
06:25:33LloreanWe'll work out how well they drive headphones after it's on a fair basis for comparison
06:25:40LloreanI've got a bunch of very varying players to test
06:26:19saratogagreat
06:26:38saratogai've been digging around headfi, HA, etc for ages looking for sansa load tests
06:29:20LloreanI'll perform load tests on all my players with the same 'phones, and recorded on the same computer. That ought to help, no?
06:29:31saratogayeah it'd be great
06:30:01LloreanThe gain definitely isn't right
06:30:19Llorean-17 on my Gigabeat was about right for RMAA testing, and 0 on my Sansa
06:31:20saratogado we expect the volume settings to be consistent across players?
06:31:30saratogai would not think that would be the case, since they have different amps
06:31:53saratoga(though i won't be surprised if the gain is wrong too)
06:31:57Lloreansaratoga: Yes, but 0dB should be fairly similar with no load, shouldn't it?
06:32:34saratogano I don't think so
06:32:39saratoga0dB just means full volume
06:32:55saratogawhatever voltage that is would be up to the hardware
06:33:00Llorean0dB should mean "Line Level"
06:33:07LloreanIt doesn't mean full volume
06:33:13LloreanMany of our amps go to +6 or +12
06:33:13saratoganot for a headphone jack i thought?
06:33:22LloreanLook at the iPod, you can go up to +6
06:34:03saratogayeah but isn't the ipod using the headphone output as a line out anyway?
06:34:20saratogathanks to all that wolfenson weirdness
06:34:28LloreanThere's a line out in the dock slot too
06:34:36LloreanWith independently settable gain that we've locked at 0
06:34:45LloreanBut 0dB should produce line level output on any of the players, that was the goal
06:34:55saratogaah
06:34:59saratogathat makes sense
06:35:10LloreanThat's why we changed from 0-100% to an absolute scale of dB
06:36:29LloreanUgh, the Sansa doesn't play non-tagged files (WAV)
06:36:34LloreanBut you can put them in the "Recordings" folder to play them
06:36:44LloreanI wonder if he tried encoding them as MP3 or something
06:36:48LloreanSansa retail firmware, that is
06:39:32Lloreansaratoga: Okay, what's the best way for me to get this to you?
06:41:09LloreanThere's definitely some difference between the retail firmware and the Rockbox firmware, unless I screwed up along the way
06:43:04saratogaemail would be fine

06:43:34 Quit rotator ()
06:45:09Lloreansaratoga: Actually, I figured I'd attach it to the patch tracker task for the patch I used, since it might help him improve it.
06:45:16saratogaok thats fine
06:45:37Lloreansaratoga: http://www.rockbox.org/tracker/?getfile=13671
06:45:48LloreanI just realized it would be polite of me to share. :)
06:47:31saratogathat looks like rockbox does a better then retail
06:48:11LloreanAssuming Retail is playing the file properly
06:48:27LloreanIt doesn't record in 44khz audio, but the test tone sounded "okay" through my computer's speakers
06:48:38LloreanI'm afraid it may have been playing back poorly
06:49:28LloreanBut yeah, it does look like Rockbox does better
06:49:36LloreanThe gain level just seems all wrong though
06:49:39saratogaperhaps that guy had a screwed up build?
06:49:44Llorean+1 isn't nearly as loud as +1 anywhere else.
06:49:53LloreanBy 'anywhere else' I mean any other player Rockbox runs on
06:49:58LloreanAnd it doesn't get as loud as the retail firmware
06:50:07LloreanSo it seems like we've maybe got the hardware configured properly, but the levels wrong.
06:51:51saratogait looks to me like the retail firmware played back ok, but with the volume set a little low
06:51:56saratogaso i think the tests are fine
06:53:05saratogaFR is identical between them, so the sampling rate must be correct
06:53:16LloreanComparing with the Gigabeat, the graphs look very similar other than the low frequencies for Stereo Crosstalk
06:53:57saratogayeah that is interesting
06:55:20saratogai suppose theres not very many ways to make an oversampling DAC, so if you have similar filter order, you're get similar frequency responses

06:58:17LloreanBut yeah, each dB step on the Gigabeat results in a dB step in the input level it seems.
06:58:22LloreanLemme check with the Sansa
06:58:48LloreanSansa should be 1.5 if things are working right
06:59:56LloreanYep
07:00
07:00:06LloreanOkay, ever 1dB step in Rockbox is 1.5 on the real level
07:00:16LloreanAnd it's not skipping steps like it should
07:00:31saratogaso thats it? the gui is just wrong
07:00:32LloreanIt should be 0, -2, -3, -5, -6 etc.
07:00:45LloreanWell, the GUI is wrong
07:00:53LloreanAnd the maximum is wrong, I don't know if it's because the GUI is wrong.
07:01:03Llorean0 on the Sansa is equivalent loudness to -17 on the Gigabeat, as I said
07:01:09saratogaoh
07:01:34LloreanIt could be because of the rounding error: It's not allowing us to increase the volume past +1 even though were not at the real max since it's not counting right
07:01:47LloreanOr rather, the minimum isn't the right minimum

09:14:44amiconnI tested wavview on archos recorder; performance is better than I thought, it's about "realtime"
09:15:00amiconn..i.e. a one-minute WAV takes about one minute to load
09:15:09amiconn(CD quality)
09:16:17amiconnI can see several possible optimisations:
09:17:08peturmorning amiconn
09:17:25amiconn(1) While calculating min/max for a single "mem peak", use autovars instead of the struct member. This gives a higher chance that they are kept in registers by gcc
09:18:10amiconnSometimes gcc fails to spot such trivial things. You could even use 'register' to tell gcc what you want.
09:18:57amiconn(2) There's a division in the main loop, executed for every sample pair (line 224). Bad on coldfire, even worse on arm and sh1
09:19:16amiconnThis could be replaced by an extra counter
09:19:57amiconn(3) I really don't see the point of the extra min/max check. Afaics this could be removed completely
09:22:15peturre (3) if the wav file is smaller than audiobuf, fppmp will be 1 so l/rmax may not be set. Could remove the check on l/rmin though

09:25:29amiconnIf you initialise min and max to the first data value instead of their opposite extrema, you never need such checks
09:25:54peturha... good point
09:25:55cropI wonder why the tags for the current song are declared as WPS_REFRESH_STATIC and the tags for the next song as WPS_REFRESH_DYNAMIC.
09:26:24amiconnpetur: I also came across the following usage quirks: (1) It's not possible to cancel the load. (2) When loading finished, it's very counter-intuitive to have to press Off or Stop to continue...
09:26:51peturamiconn: I know, must fix that
09:26:53amiconn(3) wavview doesn't handle USB afaics
09:27:22LinusNcrop: because the next song info is not always available
09:28:36cropLinusN: so it's dynamically updated once it's available?
09:28:42LinusNyes

09:41:32cropWon't the WPS parsing and handling be very different from now? For a view port we might need something like begin-end
09:45:48LinusNwell, the current idea is to add the syntax to define viewports, and use the current wps parser within each viewport

13:37:13JdGordonamiconn: if will only do that if you have follow playlist enabled. otherwise it will goto previous
13:37:16amiconnBut on hwcodec, when the playlist ends, you're always dropped back to the root menu, regardless where you set your start screen

13:38:27markunsimmel: does some Mac software change the folder of the file browser when you are playing songs?
13:38:35*amiconn has 'follow playlist' permanently enabled on all his targets
13:38:43*linuxstb too
13:38:44JdGordonnothing to do with the start screen setting, it either will drop you in previous browser, or previous
13:39:02*markun never tried it
13:39:15pixelmaI believe it once was working when I tested on Ondio
13:39:53 Quit norbusan (Read error: 110 (Connection timed out))
13:40:26JdGordonactually.. it is possible there is a bug there.. iirc there is a return GO_TO_ROOT; line which should neer be reachable, maybe on hwcodec it is?
13:41:01pixelmaJdGordon: that doesn't work atm when you enter wps from file browser (strangely on my Ondio but not on my M5)
13:41:17JdGordonwhich?
13:42:31pixelmathe return to file browser at the end of the playlist doesn't work on Ondio (where it returns to the main menu instead)
13:43:19JdGordonanyway, amiconn, I want to pull the hardcoded icons out and use the rb2bmp like the other bmps, but with so many it would be slow and annoying. can we put all icons of the same size side-by-side in one bmp and draw them with lcd_bitmap_part()?
13:43:37JdGordonpixelma: with follow playlist one?
13:44:13LinusNJdGordon: choose a format that is suitable for theming
13:44:51pixelmaJdGordon: yes, I've set it to "on".
13:45:22JdGordonpixelma: might very well be a hwcodec bug then... *looks around for someone with som time and a hwcodec target to figgure it out*
13:45:27linuxstbI assume we should we move to native format bitmaps (i.e. colour) instead of the 1-bit mono for the icons?
13:45:43JdGordonyeah, kill off the mono icons
13:46:01linuxstbBut isn't there also the issue of icon size? i.e. we don't want big icons and little fonts, and vice-versa...
13:46:10JdGordonLinusN: well, we dont want 1 bmp for the wps' so is it the same for theming icons?
13:46:14JdGordonremembering there are heaps of them
13:47:08JdGordonwe need icons for the statusbar (4x8 iirc), some 5x8's (not sure where these are used) and 6x8 in the lists
13:47:18pixelmaI'd have the time to test possible fixes...
13:47:35JdGordonthere isnt any reason why we couldnt load any size icons to match a font size and display them.. except the statusbar
13:47:37linuxstbShouldn't the statusbar also be larger on the larger LCDs?
13:47:51JdGordonalso the default font
13:47:51LinusNi don't really have an opinion, except that if you do change the icon code, you should keep themes in mind
13:48:07pondlifeWasn't there a proposal to make all of this themeable?
13:48:23pondlifeMaybe the icons etc. could be removed from the core code completely?
13:48:33linuxstbProbably... People are always proposing things.
13:48:36pondlife:)
13:48:59pondlifeJdGordon: That reminds me, did you have any further thought on the buffering?

13:49:20JdGordonI tried a ring buffer with a gap, but got nowhere with it...

14:28:17linuxstbI mean did WMP recognise it before you installed Rockbox? On the ipods, Rockbox simply reboots into the original Apple firmware when you attach to USB, so shouldn't change the behaviour at all.
14:28:35Anlar--argh

"stage 2" would be adding nice extra features such as bookmarking, resume and playlists. "stage 2" might be best achieved by adding supports for video codecs into the Rockbox playback engine.

16:27:28amiconnJdGordon: An icon strip in a single bitmap would be preferable, I think
16:27:56JdGordonthe buffer will be in the audio buffer, so if you dont want them there is no penalty

16:30:37 Nick Bagder_ is now known as B4gder (i=dast@gateway/web/cgi-irc/labb.contactor.se/x-057ae6ca9518bd01)
16:30:53webguest73Nico_P: hey Nico_P. I have a question about the last rtc commit. Why is the time struct filled for every tag? It would suffice to fill it (and make checks) only once per update, i.e. somewhere before all screens are refreshed. There must be a loop for that. It's probably not a performance issue but RB strives for the limit in that.
16:31:14bluebrotherwill there be a icon set built-in or will it require an external file in all cases?
16:32:04amiconnJdGordon: Do you have a solution for the dynamically supported formats?
16:32:19amiconn(i.e. those where the icons is stored in viewers.config)
16:32:26amiconns/is/are/
16:32:50JdGordonamiconn: umm... no forgot about them actually.
16:33:03JdGordonbluebrother: yes, the current icons will be compiled in
16:33:33*jhMikeS sees Access Denied when trying to delete an attachment from his own wiki page :\
16:33:34Nico_Pwebguest73: I assumed it would be better to only update the time when necessary, but now that I think about it, you might be right
16:33:37lowlightamiconn: those are the drawbacks, but it seems a simplier approach to let the existing font code handle things
16:33:55JdGordonamiconn: seperate bmps for each loadable filetype? /.rockbox/icons/<extension>.bmp ?
16:34:52webguest73Nico_P: on the other hand, now the variable tm can be declared as local (and not static). Which is good for code quality.
16:34:58JdGordonand for charcell, put the icon into viewers.config as now
16:35:06Nico_Pwebguest73: that's what mde me change the original patch
16:35:07linuxstbjhMikeS: I get that problem on the wiki - the best you can do is to hide it - it's one of the "manage" options.
16:35:35Nico_Pwebguest73: but now the time is updated very often
16:35:37linuxstbjhMikeS: If you really need it deleted, I think you need to ask Bagder/LinusN/Zagor
16:35:48webguest73Nico_P: how did the original handle it?
16:35:57amiconnJdGordon: Yes, for charcell it could be similar to now. Just that I would want to use the 'native' format for charcell patterns. Would need 7 bytes instead of 5, but no extra code for rotating
16:36:05jhMikeSI know but why don't we have access to delete our attachments? makes no sense to me and it's a nice place to share files. I don't want it cluttered.
16:36:14Nico_Pwebguest73: like you suggested, with a global variable which was updated each time the WPS was refreshed
16:36:35Nico_Pwebguest73: that is, the original version of the patch I committed
16:36:46amiconnThe icon part could then be taken out of viewers.config for bitmap targets, replacing the icon with the generic ICON_UNKNOWN (built in) when extension.bmp isn't found
16:37:08linuxstbjhMikeS: I don't know, but perhaps it's a feature of twiki to maintain the history of pages. In a similar way to not being able to delete files from CVS unless you hack the repository
16:37:09webguest73Nico_P: not that often, only for rtc tags, so not an issue
16:37:26amiconnIcon loading times need testing though. I don't want slow boot...
16:37:32*jhMikeS thinks it a bit absurd to have commit access and not full access to the wiki functions
16:37:40webguest73Nico_P: and I now see that get_time checks internally whether the data is still valid
16:37:42Nico_Pwebguest73: well if we have n RTC tags, it will be updated n times per screen update
16:37:55Nico_Pah
16:38:00linuxstbjhMikeS: Maybe it requires ssh access to the server...
16:38:26linuxstbjhMikeS: But I'll stop speculating now and let you talk to someone who knows.
16:38:37webguest73Nico_P: and why do we need the checks (day < 1 etc)?
16:38:40jhMikeSwell, it's got a link for it so why would it?
16:38:48JdGordonamiconn: yeah, boot times may suffer a bit.. we will have to do some caching
16:39:36JdGordonmaybe we have viewers_icons.bmp for the supplied viewers.config?
16:39:52Nico_Pwebguest73: that's to avoid displaying invalid values. Some are very important because the value is used to access an array
16:40:02JdGordonstill need some way to allow these to be customized
16:40:04Nico_Pmaybe I could get rid of the others though
16:40:36Nico_Pwebguest73: the checks were in the pre-tokenizer code
16:41:09webguest73Can get_time return such invalid values? If yes I'd rather repair get_time
16:41:55amiconnJdGordon: viewers.config is tailored for the target by buildzip.pl. It would have to create a tailred viewers.bmp then
16:42:02amiconn(doable, but not trivial)
16:42:11JdGordonhmm
16:42:32JdGordonseperate icon for each sounds like the easiest way to go
16:42:37Nico_Pwebguest73: get_time doesn't check the values it reads from the RTC chip
16:42:37JdGordonnot the nicest though :(
16:42:41amiconnAnd if someone adds a custom viewer in the middle of viewers.config. it would mess up the order in viewers.bmp
16:42:53amiconnWhat we could do would be the following:
16:43:28amiconnHave a single viewers.bmp, and give each supportable file extension a "rockbox-registered" number
16:44:03amiconnThen viewers.config would reference this number for bitmap targets
16:44:47amiconnNot very flexible for custom filetypes though.
16:45:01webguest73Nico_P: BTW: you can also use valid_time for the checks
16:45:46webguest73Is it possible to have an alias for an enum symbol?
16:45:53Nico_Pwebguest73: thanks !
16:46:11Nico_Pwebguest73: you mean an alias for RTC tokens ?
16:46:25amiconnwebguest73: Just #define one
16:46:55amiconnThat's what I did in lcd-charset-player.c for identical-looking soft glyphs
16:47:59 Quit spiorf (Remote closed the connection)
16:48:33roolkuwebguest73 Nico_P: why not have a global timevar that will expire after n display cycles (where n is chosen such that it represents a time < 1s); when c timetag needs the time it will use this var directly unless it it expired in which case it will do a get_time() (including valid_time()) to get the correct time which can then be used by the other time tags until it expires
16:49:22roolkuthat should keep calls to get_time() to a minimum
16:50:16Nico_Proolku: that's not a bad idea... the parser could give the expiration time the right value according to the tags it finds
16:50:30Nico_Pno need to update every second if there are only data tags
16:50:31peturstore the tickcount and only refresh every second
16:50:44JdGordonamiconn: if we cache the viewers bmp between boots, then unless the file is changed boot time shouldnt be effected all that much
16:50:52JdGordonif we use 1 bmp for each extension
16:50:57Nico_Ppetur: that's what I was thinking, but it may even not be worth updating every second
16:51:06amiconnhrrrrmmmmmmmm
16:51:13JdGordoni'm not really sure how best to allow the user to customise them though
16:51:28 Nick qwx is now known as qwm (n=qwm@h162n1fls34o1010.telia.com)
16:51:33peturNico_P: not if the wps doesn't show the seconds
16:51:44roolkuNico_P: yes, only what "smallest" time tag requires
16:51:49Nico_Ppetur: yes, and the parser can tell us that
16:51:52JdGordonhrrrrmmmmmmmm == deep in thought? or sick of the convo?
16:51:58peturNico_P: indeed
16:52:10amiconn= I don't like this bmp caching idea that much
16:52:54JdGordonwhy not?
16:53:04JdGordonif the data doesnt change there is no problems
16:53:16JdGordonread one file insttead of 16
16:54:19 Part B4gder
16:54:50amiconnAnd how do you check whether the data changes? You still need to touch the 16 files (at least by reading their properties from the dir entries)
16:55:55Nico_Ppetur, roolku, webguest73: not sure it's worth the added code. as webguest73 said, get_time already checks whether it's worth updating the time. We would spare some calls, but are they really that expensive ?
16:56:03JdGordonI was talking about the default icons, not the customised ones
16:56:14XavierGrLinus: If you have an open H300 I would like to ask you: On this picture: http://www.rockbox.org/iriver/h300_front.jpg does the USB OTG jack is short circuited with the little capacitor just left from it?
16:56:59XavierGrLinus: if you see the logs please tell me because while I was trying to fix once again USB OTG I managed to short circuit those and now whenever I connect someting from USB OTG my H300 resets
16:57:00roolkuNico_P: calls = individual range checks? I would omit them and only check once (in or after get_time)
16:58:04Nico_Proolku: I meant calls to get_time. I'm starting to think I could simply get rid of the range checks
16:58:27Nico_Proolku: or at least replace them with a single valid_time() call
16:58:42roolkuNico_P: get_time is really expensive as it usually involves I2C bus reads
16:59:07JdGordonamiconn: as for the customised icons, i'm thinking about using a strip bmp and a text file which says which icon is which extention
16:59:15roolkuNico_P: that is why I would only call it if really neccessary
16:59:20Nico_Proolku: it will actually do that only if it needs to, I.e. if more than on second has past
16:59:53JdGordon... which could be done with the inbuilt icons also, but it either wastes space for plugins not in a build, or makes the build script more complicated
17:00
17:00:22roolkuNico_P: so maybe I misunderstood not sure what you mean now
17:02:47Nico_Proolku: what I'm saying is I'm not sure it's worth adding lots of checks, because get_time already makes sure it doesn't read the time from the chip more than once a second. Also I've checked the pre-tokenizer code and if I understand it correctly it did call get_time each time it found the RTC tag
17:03:44Nico_Pso now with the split RTC tag we call it a bit more often, but then again it won't do anything unnecessary
17:03:46JdGordonanywho, bed time, if you think of a good solution, let me know
17:03:49roolkuNico_P: I would have one global var that is trusted to contain a valid time or (say) -1
17:03:54 Quit JdGordon ("Konversation terminated!")
17:04:21roolkuNico_P: time_tags would just trust it to be correct (check for -1 in case RTC is broken though)
17:05:19webguest73Nico_P: I'm for the current solution. Just replace the checks with valid_time.
17:05:27roolkuNico_P: this global var is updated according to the smallest required time period (info from parser)
17:05:47Nico_Pwebguest73: that's done... But I'm wondering wether it's even really needed
17:06:21roolkuwebguest73: I wouldn't be surprised if the call overhead is bigger (memory wise) than two simple comparisons
17:06:23Nico_Proolku: that's the added code I'm sceptical about
17:06:51roolkuwebguest73: it certainly is an overhead performance wise
17:07:17webguest73But I have another concern: you check token->type >= ... && <= .... What if we'll introduce another rtc tag? The code will break. That's why I'd rather have two marker values in the enum: RTC_FIRST and RTC_LAST (or similar)
17:07:34roolkuI would only check when the time is actually obtained. if it is corrupted later, than it is a bug
17:07:53***Saving seen data "./dancer.seen"
17:07:57 Part Anlar--
17:08:14webguest73Nico_P: but as you said: get_time can return invalid values, so the check is needed I'd say
17:09:01roolkuwebguest73: but only once per get_time() call, not for every tag

17:10:16webguest73roolku: how many WPSs use those tags? And the status bar is drawn with different code. So I'd argue that the overhead is negligible
17:10:36roolkuroolku: thinking about the update time - I think we should stick with one second. Image you want to only display date and you read the date at 1min to midnight - it is then wrong for most of the next day
17:10:48webguest73roolku: but since we call get_time for every tag... :-)

17:12:00Nico_Proolku: in most of these calls it won't even do enything

18:12:42roolkulinuxstb: I am curious as to what that time actually is though...
18:14:21linuxstbSuddenDeath: You should have simply used the install instructions in the Rockbox manual - the information at ipodwizard is extremely old. See the "manual" link on the Rockbox website.
18:14:49linuxstbSuddenDeath: But you'll need to undo what those ipodwizard instructions told you to do - e.g. restore your ipod with itunes.
18:15:10linuxstb(or restore a known working bootpartition.bin)
18:18:03SuddenDeathI would have done.. but the ipods frozen on the black screen with the white apple logo so its not being detected by the computer :/
18:18:30linuxstbJust reset it (hold MENU+SELECT for a few seconds) then immediately press and hold SELECT+PLAY to force it into disk mode.
18:19:11SuddenDeathOh.. ok.. I was trying to force it into disk mode by holding rewind and fast forward after resetting it.. I'll try that..
18:19:29SuddenDeathah that worked..
18:20:12SuddenDeathso now do I need to restore it?
18:21:25linuxstbYes. Or restore a backup of your original bootpartition.bin if you have one.

18:42:33insectoidWithout rendering the Ipod completely unusable (I.E. restoring it afterwards)
18:42:52bluebrotheryou could use some safe delete tool.
18:43:11bluebrotheron linux there is shred, for windows there is a tool by sysinternals around iirc.
18:43:17insectoidWill that vaporize the boot sector, too? I think something's screwy there.
18:49:42bluebrotherno.
18:49:57bluebrotheryou can overwrite the mbr with the ones provided on the download page

19:33:35bluebrotherah. Nice to know.
19:33:41amiconnThere's also a native win32 'dd'

19:45:45bluebrotherhehe, those "anti-examples" in wikipedia on dd are somewhat nice ;-)
19:46:18Lloreanbarrywardell: 1db change in displayed volume is equal to 1.5 in actual volume, but Rockbox never skips over numbers.
19:46:41LloreanAssuming 0 equals 0 (it does not seem to), -1rb = -1.5 actual, -2 = -3, -3 = -4.5 and so on.
19:46:49 Part fm2
19:46:52barrywardellhmm. that's odd
19:47:12barrywardellrockbox does round the volume to the nearest db
19:47:23LloreanSince I recall there being a "minimum" after which turning down the volume to lower numbers did not result in lowered volume, I'm guessing that may be part of where our "it's not loud enough" comes from. We've got a compressed scale.
19:47:50LloreanWell the output doesn't show that it's rounding.
19:48:10barrywardelli mean rockbox uses 1db increments
19:48:23barrywardellbut the hardware adjusts the volume in 1.5db increments
19:48:33barrywardellso the current volume control is a bit of a hack
19:49:14amiconnIiuc that just means that 2 of 3 rockbox volume values actually map to the same volume, nothing more
19:49:36amiconnI.e. 0 is 0, -1 is -1.5, -2 is -3 and -3 is also -3
19:49:51amiconn(assuming it rounds down)
19:49:52barrywardellthe "it's not loud enough" problem is most likely because we set the DAC volume too low
19:50:16barrywardellamiconn: makes sense. off the top of my head, I can't remember how it rounds
19:50:22Lloreanamiconn: They don't, though.

20:08:02saratoganot easily
20:08:05amiconnLlorean: You surely won't damage the phones under normal conditions. Headphone overcurrent protection is good for 2 things:
20:08:17 Join inversions [0] (n=none@cpc3-bele3-0-0-cust660.belf.cable.ntl.com)
20:08:21saratogayou could play a 60Hz tone and use the AC setting on a DMM
20:08:28amiconn(1) broken (shorted) coupling capacitor, in which case you would be driving dc to the phones
20:09:12amiconn(2) Shorting the heaphone socket (happens regularly for a fraction of a second if you plug/unplug phones to/from a 3.5mm jack).
20:09:25amiconnIn this case overcurrent protection is protecting the dac (!)

20:09:35Lloreanamiconn: Well they haven't broken their DACs either. :)
20:10:24barrywardellwasn't there a guy in the forums who claimed it blew his headphones?
20:10:44amiconnsaratoga: You aren't forced to use 60Hz, but the frequency should be within the range supported by the multimeter, and it should be a sine tone, unless you have a true rms meter
20:11:45barrywardellOK, I'll get my multimeter out later and do some testing
20:12:08saratogahttp://forums.rockbox.org/index.php?topic=9274.0
20:12:15saratogahard to say what he actually did though
20:12:29saratogaprobably just a random failure given that he had the overcurrent protection on anyway
20:13:00Lloreanbarrywardell: Yeah, the person who blew his phones is rather dubious at best.
20:13:11LloreanIf anything, since he blew them while it was on, and the retail doesn't use it... ;)

20:39:42kkurbjunI was wondering if anyone knows why the GB bootloader starts with a hundred byte offset from 0. The SDRAM should be starting at 0 from what I am seeing in the memory mapping. When I try writing to that 100 byte range during boot it fails and the screen washes out. Does anyone know the details of that 100 byte range?

23:45:46Thatchslapnpop: yeah, thats what i was thinking, the letting it die part.
23:46:10Thatchslapnpop: but it seems to be working now.
23:46:19slapnpopi installed rockbox, and the boot loader. When it's booting, it does the rockbox firmware part, but can't find rockbox.ipod, and won't load. If I go for the original firmware, rockbox says loading original firmware, then just resets to rockbox again, at which point it can't find rockbox.ipod

23:47:35slapnpopat this point, I just want to get into disc mode, but can't find a way
23:47:44Lloreanslapnpop: Menu+Select, Select+Play
23:47:53LloreanAlso, you should never, EVER need to wait until your iPod completely dies.
23:48:19LloreanRockbox does not (and cannot without significant changes) modify the iPods ability to reset on Menu+Select
23:48:26bluebrotherhmm. When I plug in the usb cable my mini sometimes gets stuck at the usb logo screen. Is there a known issue?
23:48:31LloreanBut you may need to turn hold on and off first, and may need to hold it longer than you expect.
23:48:42slapnpopyeah, it kills the battery, but there are some hard crashes where nothing else works
23:48:51pixelmabluebrother: yes
23:49:00bluebrotherah, that explains it ;-)
23:49:11Lloreanslapnpop: If you think nothing else works, you're doing Menu+Select wrong. Trust me.
23:49:25slapnpopmay not be rockbox's fault, but crashes none the less...

23:50:00Lloreanslapnpop: Yes, you really were unless your iPod is defective.
23:50:06linuxstbslapnpop: menu+select is a hardware reset - it's never failed for me, no matter what kind of crazy and broken code I've been running on my ipod.
23:50:29slapnpopwell, then my Ipod MUST be defective.
23:50:31 Quit bawb2 (Remote closed the connection)
23:50:54slapnpopthat being said, opening up the case and pulling the battery cable resets it just fine.
23:51:09Lloreanslapnpop: Describe exactly the whole process you use, including durections, for menu + select

23:51:16bluebrotherpixelma: is that problem specific to the mini / a PP generation or does it affect all ipods? Haven't seen anything in the FAQ
23:52:06slapnpophold down select, then hold down menu. Also tried simutanious hold down, and hold down menu, then hold down select.
23:52:14slapnpopThis was months ago, btw.
23:52:19Lloreanslapnpop: See, you did it wrong
23:52:29Lloreanslapnpop: The official procedure, for worst case, requires you to turn hold on then off first.
23:52:35LloreanIt seems necessary under worst-case freezes
23:52:38pixelmaI also experienced it on a mini, but IIRC linuxstb has seen it too (maybe it happens more frequently there)
23:52:40LloreanI also asked for durations.
23:53:03LloreanBecause it often takes much longer than people expect with the worse freezes, for some reason, as much as 15-20 seconds I believe.
23:53:06linuxstbpixelma: I think USB reliably doesn't work on my ipods if I boot with the USB connected...
23:53:09 Quit ender` (" (Coder's Ditty) 100 little bugs in the code, 100 bugs in the code, fix one bug, compile it again, 102 little bugs in the cod)
23:53:11bluebrotherhmm. Should I add a note to the FAQ?
23:53:18slapnpopno, you asked for durections, I thought you meant directions.
23:53:21linuxstbbluebrother: Or fix the bug :)
23:53:30bluebrotherif I boot with usb connected the buttons become unresponsive :(
23:53:33Lloreanslapnpop: Apparently I can't type.
23:53:38Lloreanslapnpop: It doesn't change that you did the process wrong.
23:53:40slapnpopI tried the hold as well, and tried holding buttons for up to a minute...
23:53:43slapnpopit's ok, I can't either.
23:53:49bluebrotherlinuxstb: nice alternative. If only ... ah, "time" was the show stopper
23:53:52LloreanYou didn't mention the hold, despite my use of the word "Exact"
23:54:03slapnpopbtw, play+select got me into disc mode fine!
23:54:40slapnpopforgive my bad memory, but I tried every combination of buttons I could for about 2 hours before opening the case, and as I mentioned, it was months ago I had that problem
23:55:36pixelmabluebrother: I believe there even was a short forum thread about it
23:56:02Lloreanlinuxstb: Do you know what jhmike's mpegplayer changes fix? Is it the issue with video going out of sync if at really low framerates?
23:56:19 Quit ompaul ("dive dive dive - mine data")
23:56:50datachildhi
23:57:04ThatchDoes anybody know of an app that renames mp3 (or any other type) files based on id tags?
23:57:12datachildi have a problem with my ipod video, rockbox keeps saying "codec error" whn i try to play a song
23:57:15datachildhow do i fix this?
23:57:20LloreanThatch: "Tag 'n Rename"
23:57:30bluebrotherdatachild: update your build completely
23:57:33datachildit's just a normal .mp3

23:57:38ThatchLlorean: oh, well, there ya go. Thanks.
23:57:45datachildit's the latest build, bluebrother
23:57:46bluebrotherand if you have a recent build make sure to remove /rockbox.ipod
23:57:50datachildokay
23:58:04bluebrotherdid you extract the complete build? What bootloader are you using?
23:58:12RincewindThatch: Mp3Tag is also very good
23:58:17datachildlet mech check if it works now
23:58:58datachildstill "Codec failure"
