00:18:39pixelmaI believe there is a patch in the tracker (not sure though)
00:18:42bluebrotherby appling the correct patch
00:18:53bluebrotherask him about the sources or tracker entries.
00:18:56chrisjs169ok
00:19:25*bluebrother doesn't understand why those "patchers" seldomly mention the tracker task number

00:26:57amiconnIt's still buggy (clicky, and swapping bytes after a few seconds, yielding white noise)
00:27:51amiconnAlso, nearly everything is hardcoded atm (44.1kHz, stereo, 16bit, fixed gain), and there's no real buffer handling
00:28:11chrisjs169couldn't find anything in the tracker (searched for sansa, virtual, scrollwheel, hdd)
00:29:48pixelmame neither, guess I didn't remember correctly. Sorry

00:44:12barrywardellspeaking of digging in the logs, is there any better way than google for searching them?
00:44:43markunI don't think so, but it would be very nice
00:44:44PaulJamyou could download them and use something like grep
00:45:20pixelmayes that's what I have here - downloaded the raw logs and grep
00:45:39barrywardellI think it would be handy to have a search function on the Rockbox site. Things like sorting by date would be handy

00:45:52pixelmaraw logs are here now http://www.rockbox.org/irc/listlogs.pl

01:18:24JdGordonhmm... just looked at the sim... its not showin any icon for .wav

01:18:39JdGordonbut it is registered and tries to load wav2wv.rock..
01:18:44amiconnNo, only the target does
01:19:02amiconnIt's associated with wavplay, which can't work on the sim
01:19:19JdGordonthe icon should show up though
01:20:40amiconnHmmmm.... it's not gibberish, but not the right icon either
01:21:11amiconnIt shows icon #1 (roughly looks like a waveform when enlarged, but like gibberish on the target lcd)
01:21:14amiconn#10
01:21:34amiconnIt should show icon #9 (double note with 2 bars)
01:22:50 Quit Thundercloud_ (Read error: 110 (Connection timed out))
01:22:51amiconnSO the code is okay, but the icon isn't what I'd expect...
01:27:11JdGordonyou might have to reorder viewers.config...
01:27:20JdGordonim actually surprised its showing any icon..
01:27:43amiconnwhy?
01:27:53JdGordonbecause the fist two icons for wav are -
01:28:02amiconnThey aren't
01:28:02 Quit Guile ("KVIrc 3.2.0 'Realia'")
01:28:09JdGordonwhen the viewers.config file is read it only reads the first icon for an extension
01:28:21amiconnThere are just 2 entries for .wav on hwcodec, both linked to icon #10
01:28:45JdGordonoh, hmm... nuts :p
01:28:49amiconnRemember that buildzip.pl cuts lines for non-existing viewers from viewers.config, making it target specific
01:29:03JdGordonyep, forgot that
01:29:30JdGordonok I gotta get readyf or uni now.. ttyl
01:31:14yuriksthe menu icons are always black (don't change with the fg color), is that normal behaviour? or a bug?
01:31:32Lloreanyuriks: Normal right now.
01:31:40yuriksO_o
01:31:40LloreanNot desired, but expected.
01:32:26LloreanWell, technically they're color icons, they're just one-color. Which means they don't get treated as "mono" like they did before.
01:33:00yurikshrm
01:33:11yuriksso someone just needs to provide color icons?

01:57:46 Join Llorean [0] (n=Llorean@rockbox/administrator/Llorean)
01:59:05amiconnThe sim is supposed to use the rockbox implementation of standard functions whenever possible
02:00
02:02:49Nico_Pamiconn: the problem is it uses it for things not related to rockbox
02:03:01iNSOMNiAXI have encoded some videos using winavi with the suggested encoding settings. The video plays fine for the first 3 minutes after that sound goes out but video continues then I stop playing video and player crashes. Any way to fix it?

02:27:08Nico_Pi.e. the rockbox sscanf is used not only by rockbox code, which is a problem
02:27:40amiconnAh... so sscanf is a candidate for prefix mangling

03:14:32woodensoulUpdated to the the current build this morning while the player was in the dock. Update went fine. Turned player off and plug icon appeared since it was still plugged in to the AC power. Just tried to turn on the player and it just hangs at the Rockbox boot screen, Rockbox never loads. Plugging into USB does nothing and it doesn't show up in Windows. I had to switch off the battery in order to try again.

03:18:17woodensoulI guess there was a new bootloader released yesterday for the Gigabeat that I was unaware of. Would that be why it refuses to boot with the newest build?

03:26:52woodensoulI was disconnected if anyone gave me any suggestions... Why is the lag so bad here and why do I constantly get disconnected?
03:27:28woodensoulI can't access the player via USB, how can I update to the new bootloader?
03:27:33Nico_Pwoodensoul: there were no suggestions whil you were offline
03:27:52Nico_Pwoodensoul: you should be able to reach the bootloader usb mode

03:34:35Nico_Pwoodensoul: then you might need to have the bootloadr restore the original firmware and then connect your gigabeat with that
03:35:05Nico_PI can't remember which key you need to press to get the OF back.. maybe menu of A

03:59:18woodensoulI did do the battery switch step. I'm using the official "current build". And actually now everything is fine. I must have accidentally copied the old bootloader again. This time I made sure to copy the new one. Thanks for your help!

10:11:05krazykitGodEater, not brief, but http://www.rockbox.org/tracker/task/6929
10:11:32GodEaterthanks
10:12:28krazykitin short, it seems that some changes in both the bootloader and rockbox.gigabeat necessitate it in the purpose of improvement and being more uniform
10:12:55krazykiti don't have time to test it for a few days yet though. i really ought to be writing my paper so i can go to sleep

12:04:38cropReflow seems to be similar to join (i.e. replace eol's with spaces) but not exactly the same. I can't tell exactly what the difference is since it doesn't work :-(

12:05:07 Quit Nibbier (Read error: 60 (Operation timed out))
12:05:42LloreanPaulJam: Did you ever go back and check what your idle timeout was set to, because if I recall you said it shutdown after ~5 minutes, which I think is less than th default idle timeout
12:06:27amiconnmpegplayer does still shutdown at idle timeout
12:06:46amiconnI always lower the default; 10 minutes are too long imho
12:06:55amiconnMy standard idle timeout is 3 minutes
12:07:00LloreanWhat players does it shutdown at idle on?
12:07:17amiconn??
12:07:30LloreanWell, I've watched a 2 hour 30 minute movie without it shutting down on me.
12:07:53dionoeashuts down on my player
12:08:16amiconnThen you probably have the idle timeout set higher than the rebuffer intervals in mpegplayer (which in turn depend on bitrate and amount of target ram)
12:08:42LloreanAh, yes, my lowest bitrate files are 400, which is rebuffering less than 10 minutes apart.
12:08:49amiconnOn archos it works in video.rock by chance, since rebuffer interval is < 1 minute
12:09:11amiconnOtherwise the same problem would exist there (and does on 8MB-modded archoses)
12:09:38LloreanSo, is there any way for plugins to say "I'm not idle"?
12:10:06amiconnThe problem is that the powermgmt code decides when to shutdown based on user activity, disk activity and playback status
12:10:15dionoeacan't they change the idl time out like they cahnge the backlight setting?
12:10:19dionoeaand reset it when done
12:10:24pixelmasame problem exists with midiplay btw...
12:10:43amiconnPlayback status is set to "stopped" while plugins are playing (like wavplay.rock, video.rock, mpegplayer.rock)
12:10:53Lloreanamiconn: So can't a plugin claim "playback status" somehow, or is that handled directly by somewhere in the actual playback code?
12:11:18amiconnYes, the powermgmt code needs a way to tell it that some external playback is running
12:11:49amiconnIt's a bit dirty anyway that powermgmt checks the playback state more or less directly
12:12:17amiconnIt should probably have a function to tell it the status, and the playback/recording engines and plugins then would use that interface
12:12:34LloreanJust something basic like the boost counter?
12:12:48amiconnJust a flag would be enough
12:13:01LloreanI'm not sure.
12:13:17dionoeaa flag might be dangerous if you have a plugin claming playback while music is also playing in the background
12:13:21LloreanPlayback plus a plugin that wants no idle off (battery_bench comes to mind, for testing idle battery life)

12:35:19cropI'd be against adding such function. There might be other settings that a plugin wants to deactivate and that would need to be restored after exit (in the plugin loading code). Where is the red line?
12:36:24amiconnB4gder: Well, the idle power off could be handled like this, but imho that'd be a somewhat dirty method
12:36:54B4gderwhy?
12:37:12B4gderimho, it makes sense that the core makes sure some things are fine after a plugin exits
12:37:19amiconnWell, currently there's a non-obvious interaction between playback and powermanagement
12:38:27LloreanWell, you either have a flag, that a plugin can set, and always gets unset after, that's independent of the normal playback check from powermgmt, or you have some sort of counter like the boost on that both playback and plugins may increment, and decrement when they stop.
12:39:13amiconncrop: Imho plugins are responsible for their actions. E.g. when they disable backlight timeout, they need to reenable it on exit. Likewise for other things, like telling the core that they're busy playing back something
12:39:53amiconnLlorean: Yes, didn't think about playback in parallel (mostly because that won't happen on hwcodec)

12:40:57Lloreanamiconn: Yeah, it's not a normal case, because I can't think of any of the normal plugins that don't require nearly constant user interaction *and* allow playback, other than battery_bench
12:41:10cropamiconn: yes, that's also my opinion. My question was: which settings are we going to restore in the plugin loader (if we go that way, which I think we shouldn't)
12:41:12Nico_Pamiconn: I think I found out what you meant... I'm trying to applysomething similar to sscanf
12:41:17amiconnThe sim needs to mangle the names in order to prevent non-rockbox components to use the rockbox lib versions of these, and vice versa
12:41:17LloreanMost plugins seem to expect the user to be pressing buttons fairly frequently anyway
12:42:01amiconnSo there's some magic that prepends "sim_" to them
12:42:57amiconnLlorean: Yes. There are only a few plugins which don't, and still should keep the player alive: mpegplayer, video.rock, wavplay (and soon wavrecord :) )
12:43:09Lloreanamiconn: And battery_bench (in my opinion)
12:43:15 Join JdGordon [0] (i=dced3920@gateway/web/cgi-irc/labb.contactor.se/x-789d3db1d6b3a1b6)
12:43:37LloreanBut yes, it's not a common case.
12:44:22amiconnwavplay and wavrecord will be removed one day, and it works for them by chance (as it does for video.rock on standard boxes)
12:45:06LloreanAnd mpegplayer if your total bitrate is over a certain point (I'm guessing 350ish, but I don't know the total buffer size)
12:45:23LloreanAssuming default idle poweroff (which I do agree is a bit high)
12:45:32amiconnOnly if you have the default idle timeout set
12:46:00amiconnBut the mentioned plugins work on (standard) archoses even with the minimum (1 minute)
12:46:34LloreanWell, they deal with lots of rebuffering.
12:46:39LloreanOr buffer flushin to disk

15:07:09pike2khow well does aac playback work these days ?
15:07:24JdGordondionoea: hey, you around?
15:07:39dionoeayup
15:07:50LinusNpike2k: it works ok for me with the few aac tracks i have
15:08:28pike2kspecial padding needed ? ie .mp4 or iso aac ok ? what bitrates ? aac+ ?
15:08:48JdGordondionoea: I see you created solataire... I want to get it to move a whole stack from one pile to another without having to select the top card of the stack... any idea where I would do this?
15:09:04dionoeain the move function i guess
15:09:22LinusNpike2k: so many questions... i am no aac expert at all, so i have no answers for you
15:09:50dionoeaJdGordon: i'll check the code to be a little more specific
15:10:11JdGordoncheers
15:10:14pike2kLinusN, can you atleast tell me if there has been any aac changes the past year ?
15:10:25pike2kI guess I will have to do my own testing
15:11:02pike2kI assume it's a "generic" aac decoder so it will suck batteries like a ***

15:13:10leftrightis there any way a sequenced column could be compressed in slitaire, if the longest row has a comlete column it tends to compress the cards making the cards very small

15:15:31PaulJamJdGordon: i have maybe a little menubug for you if you are bored. The setting for the lineselector has a little bug (at least in the uisim), if you set it to use the cursor it uses the inverse bar again after restart, and if youset it to cursor and then back to inverse bar, it uses the cursor after restart.
15:16:20JdGordonPaulJam: I noticed that also... i dont think its a real bug though, just the sim not saving settings for some reason
15:16:52aliaskCan the sim do a clean shutdown?
15:17:39aliaskHolding the off button never seems to make it close, so I just press the x in the corner - but does that perform settings writing etc?
15:17:46PaulJamJdGordon: i had the impression, that the sim saves the settings immideately after a setting has changed.
15:18:02 Part leftright
15:18:12JdGordonit should
15:18:25JdGordonaliask: no, the sim doesnt do a clean shutdown

16:29:03AceNikcan anyone tell me whether this is a bug or not :
16:29:15pixelmaJdGordon: I don't really understand from the message what the changes should do (especially what should happen when you only want to select a part of the column)
16:29:20LloreanIt'd really be a TI-BASIC interpreter.
16:30:12B4gderJdGordon: there is script development going on so things change...
16:30:23AceNikwhen i update the id3tag of a song , & in rockbox the id3 database update is on , so why does it not show , in the recently added , when a files id3 has bin updated or modified
16:30:32JdGordonpixelma: if you have a stack 9-2 and you want to move the whole stack onto a 10, before you had to select the 9.. now you can select the 2 and it will move the whole lot
16:30:41JdGordonB4gder: ah ok
16:30:56B4gderclearly I had messed up somehow in my recent edits
16:32:06pixelmaJdGordon: and what happens when I only want to move the 2 in this case (for example to free the specific 3)?
16:32:09amiconnJdGordon: That doesn't always make sense. Sometimes I *do* want to move the partial column
16:32:33pixelmathat's what I meant
16:32:52amiconnAnd I really don't see why selecting the 9 (in this case) is a problem... it's just going down once (which will wrap)...
16:32:53JdGordonit will move the first sub-stack that is legal
16:33:15JdGordonso if you try moving a 2 onto a 3 only the 2 will move
16:33:31LloreanAceNik: The database doesn't support updating/modifying files.
16:34:21LloreanAceNik: The auto-update feature just means finding entirely new files.
16:34:24AceNik Llorean:can there be a way possible to make it judge the changed files
16:35:15LloreanAceNik: Yes, if you wanted to make an update take a ridiculously long amount of time because it has to check for changes at each file.
16:35:29JdGordonnow if we could swap the rec and menu buttons on the sansa it would be completly usable with 1 finger
16:36:05AceNikLlorean: how does it then check for new files being added
16:36:07pixelmaJdGordon: ...if that works correctly... thanks for clearing that up (couldn't imagine from the commit message)
16:36:17AceNikLlorean: i presume by the dircache ?
16:36:29AceNikLlorean: or database file
16:36:33LloreanAceNik: It can use the dircache if it's active, and I believe it's necessary for auto-update.
16:36:51LloreanAceNik: But the point is, "Is the file there" is different from "Is the file different from last time I looked at it, and if so, how?"
16:36:53JdGordonpixelma: :) yeah, its too loate to be able to put a proper sentance together
16:37:20LloreanAceNik: The second one takes more work, and really, is there some reason you're often modifying the database-relevant tags on files?
16:37:30LloreanI'm thinking that if you get your tags right the first time, it's not exactly a big problem.
16:37:34AceNik Llorean:by the date stamp it was modified ?

16:38:30LloreanAceNik: So check your tags up front, and get them right?
16:39:30AceNik Llorean:but why are u drifting away from a possible solution to this , it can be implemented in the database , as even winamp supports that feature
16:39:31LloreanAceNik: The date stamp only tells you that it was modified, not whether the modification matters. As well, some people use MP3 software on their computer to play songs on their disk, updating playcounts in the song tags, which are then modification to the files requiring a database resync when there really isn't needed one for the unused tag.
16:39:55LloreanAceNik: Because the "solution" means adding complexity, adding the possibility for the database to have many more errors, and solves a "User error" problem.
16:40:08LloreanIf you really need to update songs in a database, simply reinitialize.
16:40:19B4gderAceNik: winamp does run a somewhat faster PC with more ram and higher disk speed

16:43:46*amiconn always does a full rebuild of the database anyway
16:43:53LloreanI suggested something like that to someone quite some time ago.
16:43:58B4gdera "re-init" could easily detect new files sure
16:44:01amiconnI don't trust that update feature
16:44:16AceNik Llorean: suppose i have my DB ready n added 4 tracks t my player with auto update on , it then scans my player & shows me all my recently added tracks , then now if you tell me to reinitialise , those 4 tracks that appeared , would be one since the whle DB is new

16:45:36LloreanAceNik: So, your idea is that the auto-update should take longer for people who don't misspell track names, so that you don't lose recently added songs in a re-init?

16:46:18AceNikLlorean:well you know what forget it
16:46:31LloreanWhy not suggest that there be a method to re-initialize the database preserving runtime statistics and added order?
16:47:01LloreanThis would then solve your problem without adding a handicap to those who don't have bad tags.
16:47:34pondlifeDoes re-init still clear runtime stats? It would be nice if there was an automated way to preserve them (i.e. a quiet export/re-init/import when completed).
16:47:40LloreanPerhaps a "rebuild tags" option for the database, like a manual init, but it only goes through known songs and builds a fresh database from the actual file tags.
16:47:41AceNikLlorean:forget it , im not interested by your attitudes flaring at me now

16:51:05amiconnpondlife: I wouldn't have noticed because I never used the runtime stats, but then my only use of the DB feature is for finding tagging errors...
16:51:13LloreanI can't come up with a better one right now, but if you feel it's problematic I'm willing to spend more time thinking.
16:51:37*B4gder has never used the db...
16:51:46AceNik Llorean:cause all i intend t suggest is since you uys know more , i prefer if you guys feel it rite , then you should go ahead with it , otherwise forget t
16:52:12Lloreanpondlife: Re-init is *supposed* to clear runtime stats, I believe. Because it's supposed to be creating a "new" database. IMHO a "rebuild from tags" option wouldn't be amiss. Rebuild the entire database from in-file tags, like a manual init, but preserve any data like runtime information that has been previously generated by RB
16:52:13pondlifeamiconn: I like the idea of runtime stats, but I find I have to re-init quite often. Not sure what knackers my database but there's something not quite right...
16:52:56pondlifeLlorean: I'm getting database corruption so need a serious clearout, but want to preserve the non-tag info.
16:53:04AceNikamiconn:precisely , i always end up finding errors , where 2 artist occur havin different spellings, thats the reason people also tend to modify the tag , thats the reason , i wanted the modified tas t appear in recently added
16:53:07pondlifei.e. the runtime stats.
16:53:14Lloreanpondlife: Wouldn't a "rebuild from tags" like I described solve that then?
16:53:26pondlifeYes, I think so
16:53:28LloreanThere needs to be a way to start "clean" without manually deleting the files, which is what re-init is for.
16:53:32*amiconn doesn't care about runtime stats, recently added etc
16:53:58amiconnI simply see no use for such features personally. Same goes for rating
16:54:01pondlifeAs long as it doesn't rely on the existing database being correct at all.
16:54:01Lloreanpondlife: Clearly, any songs which have changed during the rebuild would lose their runtime stats.
16:54:08pondlifeOf course
16:54:24*amiconn thinks one should know which songs one likes
16:54:24pondlifeThe existing export and import work ok, but are a bit more work for the user.
16:54:56LloreanA rebuild from tags could really just include the silent export/import if they work well enough for that.
16:55:09AceNikLlorean:can the files be handeled independantly for a few things ?
16:55:10LloreanA export, re-init, import, all hidden behind the scenes.
16:55:24LloreanAceNik: I don't understand the question. What files?
16:56:01AceNik Llorean:all the music files?
16:56:26AceNik Llorean: how is the metadata stuff goinon till now, can there be help from there
16:57:22LloreanI don't understand what exactly you're asking.
16:57:59AceNik Llorean:how does rockbox deal with assigning runtime stats to a particular file
16:58:45LloreanI would assume it has some means of matching it with a database entry.

17:01:11Lloreancrop: A lot of people keep their only copy on dap. But the problem isn't editing tags. The problem is that changed tags don't migrate to the database automatically (mostly because it adds a lot of unnecessary complication that can be avoided by just having good tags)

17:07:29AceNikLlorean: im saying if they cant figured out a way to read only a particular part of the tag ie a part of meta data rite?
17:07:39markuncrop: ok, I'll look into it later
17:07:42AceNikmarkun: how ?
17:07:52markunAceNik: magic :)
17:07:53LloreanAceNik: That question makes no sense.
17:08:22LloreanAceNik: The whole tag has to be read to make sure it matches, or to replace the old one if it doesn't.
17:08:31AceNik Llorean:well imoutta questions n confused , cause there has to be a way with the modification , date stamps
17:08:33cropmarkun: it should correct the encoding of the euro symbol (this was reported by someone here)
17:08:35markunAceNik: "rite" is "right" and not "write" right?
17:08:51markuncrop: ok
17:09:01AceNikmarkun:ya its right
17:09:01cropmarkun: btw euro symbol: shouldn't it look the same regardless of the font family?
17:09:07LloreanAceNik: I told you, modification stamps could work, but they'd still require needlessly making file reads for ANY file change.
17:09:32LloreanAceNik: To find out if a file change is in the metadata you're interested in, you have to look at the file and check.
17:09:37markunLlorean: what kind of changes do you make to your files?
17:09:43Lloreanmarkun: I don't.
17:09:52Lloreanmarkun: My tags are properly spelled, and I don't use database anyway.
17:10:13Lloreanmarkun: But I know several people who listen to their files on a PC from their DAP, and have it update playcount tags.
17:10:40markunbut those changes shouldn't be picked up by tagcache?
17:10:51Lloreanmarkun: And they won't be
17:11:01Lloreanmarkun: but tagcache would still have to open the file, and check the tags that it cares about
17:11:15 Join rift1 [0] (n=opera@87.56.70-86.rev.gaoland.net)
17:11:48LloreanBasically, it's a question of making life easier for people with bad tags, by making updates take longer for people with good tags who want to change irrelevant ones.
17:11:58markunLlorean: I don't understand what you mean by "And they won't be"
17:12:07Lloreanmarkun: They won't be picked up by tagcache.
17:12:34markunbecause the playcount is not important?
17:12:41LloreanNot to tagcache.
17:12:47LloreanAs far as I know the playcount tag isn't used.

17:13:19LloreanI still think a manual "rebuild from tags" option is a much better solution than complicating the auto-update feature even more.
17:13:42AceNikmarkun:Llorean:leave it , if it has to be one leave it as a separate feature dont include it with the current DB

17:16:33LloreanI give up.
17:16:46LloreanIf you can come up with a way to implement this feature in a manner that will not inconvenience any current users, fine.
17:17:34Slasheriit would be possible to add a new tag to hold the file modification timestamp
17:17:40LloreanMy suggestion still stands: Assume tags are correct, and if they're not offer a manual rescan of tags, rather than complicating anything automated.

17:18:26Slasheribut it needs also more improvements to the update feature not to lose play statistics of that file etc.
17:18:47AceNikLlorean: im not working on it , i just sugested a open idea for anyone interete t tak it ahead , but seems people like to pounce without notice

17:19:36pondlifeI rebooted and it was then ok, but no delayed commit took place.
17:19:36LloreanAceNik: When you make suggestions, in here or as a feature request, people will comment on it. It's expected. Because an idea has to be "good enough", and that means people who don't think it is will try to establish that it isn't, so that an idea can be developed further and made better.
17:19:39Slasheripondlife: ah, yes (just reading logs). That is not correct
17:19:42AceNikLlorean:you know what since you least bothered please stp commenting & if it is possibl people will read th lo & someone will take it ahead , since you dont use DB just forget commenting
17:19:44LloreanAny idea suggested in here, ever, will likely be criticized.
17:20:05LloreanAceNik: I don't use the DB, but any additional code WILL affect me.
17:20:27Slasheripondlife: however, if the commit was delayd, then it would be normal
17:20:27markunAceNik: Slasheri is Mr. Tagcache btw
17:20:43LloreanSlasheri: I have an idea.
17:20:45pondlifeSlasheri: It also said "Delayed commit: No" :)
17:20:52AceNik pondlife:you dont have dircache on
17:20:57pondlifeI do
17:21:04LloreanSlasheri: When a song is buffered, if database is active, why not compare its tags with that in DB, and if different, update them?
17:21:26LloreanI can't imagine that will add very much time to buffering at all, build would allow an automated "fixing" of tags over time, at least.
17:21:41SlasheriLlorean: hmm, if database is loaded to ram, then that would be possible to do

17:21:49pondlifeAha, a decent use for the buffering callback...?
17:22:09LloreanAs I said, I'd really like to search for a solution that doesn't depend on last-modified stamps on the files.
17:22:09SlasheriLlorean: however, if the new (string) tag is longer than the old one, we can't directly modify it
17:22:26Slasheriinstead it's necessary to create a changelog and re-commit the db
17:22:51AceNikSlasherithats what i do now
17:23:46Slasherithat would not mean complete rescan, just recommit the new longer tags on next boot or something like that
17:24:29 Quit atsea- (Read error: 104 (Connection reset by peer))
17:24:37AceNikSlasheri:what bout tags havin an alphabet change itself like a −−> A
17:25:07Slasherithat kind of updates are possible to do immediately once implemented
17:25:14LloreanSlasheri: Maybe also a context menu option "Rescan this filter" that lets you trigger a rescan of tags on say, an album, individual song, genre, or whatnot? Would that also be possible. That's manual, but it allows a lot of flexibility.
17:25:50LloreanIt would of course scan all tags under that.
17:25:56Slasherihmm, would be possible
17:26:14Slasheriso that could be activated under the database context menu
17:27:05Slasheriand file modification timestamps could be used in addition of that
17:27:14Slasheriif timestamps are identical, skip the file
17:28:19LloreanYes, using timestamps to decrease the time spent working I don't have a problem with.
17:28:24 Quit crop ("CGI:IRC")
17:28:46LloreanI just don't like trusting them as the method for determining whether a file should be scanned. Shouldn't is another case, I can't imagine a file being changed but having the same modified stamp very often. ;)

18:56:54Bagderfirst, debian includes gpl incompatible software
18:57:45Bagderthen, it seems some places claim a gpl xskat game

19:00:25amiconnIirc you said section 2b would be the problem,
19:00:49Bagderdid I really?
19:01:46amiconnbecause the GPL doesn't allow restrictions like this.
19:01:47Bagdersince I don't think it is an added restriction
19:02:07Bagderwell, unless you take that renaming thing literally of course
19:02:07amiconnHowever, we also have (modified) bsd-license code in our tree, which also adds a few restrictions
19:02:18Bagderthe modified one does not add restrictions
19:02:55amiconnDepends on the definition of 'restriction', and that's why I'm asking
19:03:41Bagderin what way is the modified bsd adding requirements by any definition?
19:03:51amiconn"Redistributions in binary form must reproduce the above copyright notice, this list of conditions and the following disclaimer in the documentation and/or other materials provided with the distribution."
19:04:00amiconnIsn't that a restriction?
19:04:25Bagdernot an added one, as the same things are already basically required in the GPL license

19:14:01amiconnSome parts of the code aren't important for rockbox, like LAN game
19:14:02linuxstbOr I guess the person who ports it to Rockbox would own partial copyright in the code, so could agree a license with the original author for the new version.
19:15:14linuxstbI think it would be nice to suggest a license to the author, but I'm not sure what GPL-compatible license is closest to his home-brew license.

19:17:55amiconnhttp://www.pbidir.com/packages.php?code=61 <= "License: GPL" That can't be correct...
19:19:10linuxstbMaybe his 2b) could be loosened - e.g. he could use the same wording as the GPL regarding "prominent notices", and only suggest (i.e. not part of the license itself) to people modifying his code that they rename and/or change the version number.
19:20:23LloreanCouldn't you maintain the strictness by explicitly saying the license is for the code only, and not the copyrighted proper name, which is the name and version number combination?
19:21:08LloreanThen the code could be under a GPL compatible license, while still allowing him to restrict renaming?
19:21:22BagderI don't think it works like that
19:22:09Bagdersince for it to be GPL-compatible, someone should be allowed to rip the code from Rockbox and generate a new game called Xskat if they want to
19:22:28LloreanAh, but that's not quite true.
19:22:46LloreanFor example, someone can rip the code from Rockbox, but cannot generate a new game called "Tetris"
19:22:49Bagderwell, trademark issues asside
19:23:14LloreanThat's all I'm saying, though: Why does the name of the game have to be licensed along with the code?
19:23:20Bagderthe main reason the apache license is not gpl compatible is exactly such a name protection
19:23:25LloreanWhy can't the code be "Unnamed card game"
19:23:38LloreanOr really, anything else?
19:23:49BagderI bet it can
19:24:01LloreanBasically, the code is released, but the name isn't.
19:24:38Bagderbut then it is released with the name "unnamed" I guess
19:24:53LloreanI mean, I'm thinking of Doom here.
19:25:00LloreanThe game code is released under the GPL, all the resources aren't.
19:25:20Bagdernot quite the same though
19:25:24LloreanTrue
19:25:25Bagderit was still called Doom

19:50:39LloreanPaulJam: Anything else the WPS can show is either static (text strings), or from a very limited set of characters, all of which can be loaded individually instead of a whole font.
19:50:51PaulJamand to render the srings it would still have to load the fonts
19:51:29amiconnLlorean: The font doesn't have to be loaded as a whole, there is lru caching going on
19:51:49Lloreanamiconn: Yes, but with multiple fonts doesn't that become a bit nastier?
19:51:51amiconnThat's necessary for unicode support without excessively large buffers
19:52:20LloreanPaulJam: Not in the same way.
19:53:07amiconnLlorean: It has to load them one way or another
19:53:18amiconnAnd doing it another way just means more code
19:53:25LloreanBasically, the string s"Queen" "Bohemian Rhapsody" and "Greatest Hits Volume I", in the worst case using 3 fonts, could require that three fonts be 'active' and perhaps cached in some way, or it could require that maybe 40 characters go on the buffer.
19:54:22bluebrotherwhy support more than 2 fonts?
19:54:26 Quit CG|sau ()
19:55:10Lloreanbluebrother: From a design perspective, people often want some lines larger or smaller than others. For example, current song ID3 info could be 16px, next song 10px, and volume/battery 8px
19:55:29 Join Lear [0] (i=chatzill@rockbox/developer/lear)

19:56:18linuxstbWhat about different fonts in the menus and WPS?

19:56:35bluebrotherwhile it would be nice supporting an arbitrary number of fonts it looks pretty much like waste to me
19:56:46Lloreanlinuxstb: The advantage of my system is that the WPS could use any fonts it wants without using the font memory/space from the menus

19:57:16LloreanSince the characters are stored on buffer, and only if they're fonts other than the main font, you only really lose space to them if you start going crazy with additional fonts.

19:57:22bluebrotheranyway, I'm going to (finally) leave uni for today. Back in a while.
19:58:17linuxstbLlorean: I think it would be simpler to just support multiple fonts...
19:58:43amiconnLlorean: You need to buffer all the glyphs needed for displaying the strings. The font code will do this one day, perhaps
19:58:50Lloreanlinuxstb: Currently we reserve 60k for the main font. Do we want to increase that for multiple fonts or start dividing it up?
19:59:17mooslinuxstb: yeah ideally 1 font for WPS 1 for menu and 1 for browser :)
19:59:23amiconnBut loading many different fonts at once is a waste of resources imho, and it won't look nice in most cases
19:59:46linuxstbI always imagined multi-font support to just be an extension of the lru current caching system.
19:59:50amiconnTypographers usually say that the number of different fonts should be kept to a minimum for a nice look
20:00
20:00:15LloreanI agree that the number used should be kept to a minimum.
20:00:28 Quit My_Sic (Read error: 104 (Connection reset by peer))
20:00:45Nico_Pamiconn: true, but it can be nice to have different sizes of the same font
20:01:09amiconnAlgorithmic emboldening should help if someone wants some text to be emphasized, and it won't require any extra ram
20:01:10LloreanBut I just think that since most text displayed in the WPS is static-ish, it could somehow use the buffer rather than treating the one-three WPS fonts as whole fonts in terms of the cache etc.
20:01:51LloreanStatic in the sense that it's known at buffer-time what all the possibilities are.
20:02:06LloreanBut it's just an idea.
20:02:33moosmarkun: didn't you working on font? ;p
20:02:54linuxstbAlthough there is lots of information in a wps which doesn't come from tags - playback time, playlist position, battery, volume, rtc, ...
20:02:58amiconn"The buffer" would be a font buffer after all, no matter how many glyphs it buffers. So why a different system??
20:03:25Lloreanlinuxstb: Almost all of those are numeric though.
20:03:58Lloreanamiconn: The playback buffer means "the more fonts you use, the more glyphs you use, the less space you have for songs, but if you just use the current menu font you don't need to fill up the audio buffer"
20:04:07amiconnLlorean: Yes, and? In that case, the lru buffer would just buffer the digit glyphs...
20:04:26amiconnThe font buffer is fixed size
20:04:27Lloreanamiconn: If you use a font buffer/cache, the use of space is less dynamic. We have to reserve it in advance instead, meaning if you don't make use of multiple fonts, or any characters outside the ASCII range, you're wasting a lot of space
20:04:41amiconnYou are not
20:04:50amiconnThat's why there is lru buffering
20:05:07 Join My_Sic [0] (n=MySic@m180.net81-67-5.noos.fr)
20:05:15LloreanRockbox currently has 60k in memory for the font, right?
20:05:16amiconnUnder normal circumstances it shouldn't happen that glyphs are going off-buffer once buffered
20:05:22amiconnNo, it's less
20:05:30LloreanI thought it was 60,000.
20:05:41*Llorean could be wrong
20:06:02amiconnAh, yes, for large-mem targets it is
20:06:34LloreanThe font I use is 32k on disk
20:06:56LloreanNow that's 28k wasted for me, but not a big deal.
20:07:12LloreanBut if we wanted to say, enable the use of 3 fonts, wouldn't it be reasonable to at least double the memory Rockbox allocates for them?
20:07:30moossurely not lots of users use fonts around 60k
20:07:53Lloreanmoos: ~1/2 of the fonts provided are over 60k
20:08:05LloreanReally it's 26, I believe, of the 60
20:08:17LloreanThe ones that support unicode well.
20:08:21LloreanOr at least, better than the others
20:09:40amiconnLlorean: Why do you think you would need more buffer for more fonts?
20:09:55linuxstbLlorean: How would your system deal with someone changing wps? Possibly to one with larger fonts...
20:10:08Lloreanlinuxstb: Ah, that wouldn't work well at all, true.
20:10:09amiconnThe limitation is the display. You won't need to buffer more glyphs than what can be shown at once on the lcd
20:10:34amiconn(of course plus some because the displayed information changes)
20:10:38Lloreanlinuxstb: But I'm perfectly happy with the idea that my system isn't ideal. I just want to bring up the idea that WPS information is more static.
20:10:58*amiconn 's typical wps'es aren't static
20:11:09amiconnStatic information is just a waste on the display
20:11:20linuxstbBTW, am I right in thinking the WPS can't wrap strings at the moment?
20:11:23Lloreanlinuxstb: Menu information is even more static. You know every single glyph you need from a font, by use of the lang file. If the menu font doesn't match others, you can have a fairly small character set relative to a whole font size
20:12:05amiconnJudging based on a small display of course... nothing like those pixel-waste-friendly lcds (ipod video, gigabeat)
20:12:19Lloreanamiconn: I'm having a hard time expressing what I mean quite right. It's not truly dynamic. When browsing the tree, information displayed depends on user input. On the WPS, information displayed comes from a very limited set (what's on-buffer, and what the WPS has in conditionals, strings, etc)
20:12:51LloreanEven when the user inputs a change, it's either changing the value of a conditional or numeric output, or changing tracks.
20:12:55amiconnLlorean: Still, why making extra effort buffering only those glyphs as the lru cache *already does that*
20:13:02tHEkIND Anyway, multifont is really apreciated and waited in thye SVN by users
20:13:03tHEkINDReally
20:13:04amiconnThat's what I can't understand...
20:13:20pixelmalinuxstb: you mean like 2 lines for track name or something like that?
20:13:29linuxstbpixelma: Yes.
20:13:30amiconntHEkIND: _Imho_ there is a ton of more important improvements, fixes etc than multifont

20:15:50amiconnThere are many bugs to fix in the exisitng features...
20:16:02 Quit bluey- ("Leaving")
20:16:03Lloreanamiconn: Because if your WPS uses different glyphs than your filetree, the LRU cache becomes flooded with whatever your WPS font is over time, and then browsing your filetree for inserting songs can flood it with other characters, then back again.
20:16:32LloreanIf the LRU cache is reserved for the filetree, then it's much less likely to be discarding, I think.
20:16:36tHEkINDlinuxstb : I'm not saying that, but how the firmware look is at least as important as the sound quality and functionnnalities
20:16:46tHEkINDYou can't deny that
20:16:53pixelmatHEkIND: but I hope you would want stable playback in first place?
20:16:54LloreantHEkIND: We all can and will.
20:17:07amiconntHEkIND: I dare to deny that
20:17:22LloreantHEkIND: How it looks is only equally important as functionality to the kind of people who only want to be users of something pretty
20:17:29tHEkINDWhy people say "Waaaw vista is good", even if it's a piece of shit ^^
20:17:35amiconnLlorean: This might happen anytime if the cache is too small, but it has nothing to do with the place it happens (wps, filetree, menu etc)
20:17:43tHEkINDYeah maybe not
20:18:11tHEkINDBut i think it's important, else iPod shouldn't be the most used player
20:18:25Lloreanamiconn: Yes, but for example, if the WPS doesn't use the LRU cache, but instead keeps its glyphs on-buffer alongside the songs they belong to, then it keeps that from happening due to WPS use.
20:18:37amiconnHow something looks is totally irrelevant as long as it doesn't fulfill its purpose, and preferably in a better way
20:18:43preglowamiconn: did you find out how linux deals with unicode on the api level?

20:39:01j-bdionoea: not the same question...
20:39:17linuxstb_j-b: There's nothing to test - the U3 has different hardware to any of the devices Rockbox supports, so it won't work.

20:39:46j-blinuxstb_: that was what I liked to know... :'(
20:40:01LloreanNico_P: Ah, because it uses the font height still to determine where the line is?
20:40:10Nico_PLlorean: that's it
20:40:31linuxstb_Nico_P: Looking at the lcd driver, I think you would need to add something like a "lcd_set_lineheight()" function, and then change lcd_puts_style_offset to use that value instead of the font height. But I don't know if that's wanted...
20:40:34j-bbut I thought it was close to X5

20:54:13amiconnYes... if it's wanted/needed (I still don't see why, but yeah...)
20:54:32Nico_Pamiconn: but maybe I could implement a "workaround" in the scrolling code for now
20:55:10amiconnBasically the viewports-enabled version of scrolling will allow to place scrolling text anywhere on the screen. Just the number of scrolling objects will be limited
20:55:25amiconn(probably depending on lcd size)
20:56:05amiconnI am also thinking about unifying the text output functions completely, meaning that there won't be 2 versions on targets with a remote lcd

22:08:07Renooh
22:08:07dionoea(part of open source is about being bored too isn't it?)
22:08:15Renoi guess
22:08:32Bagderor perhaps it is about not staying bored...
22:08:34linuxstbdionoea: I though it was about being itchy...
22:08:51dionoeaah ... maybe a bit of both :)
22:09:02dionoeaBagder: yeah, that's what i meant

22:22:02ReonXD
22:22:16Reoni wish i was really him!
22:22:19ReonXD
22:22:24bluebrotherReno, you want to send a command to the server. This starts with a /. And then there follows the command directly, in your case it's "nick", so it becomes "/nick"
22:22:38Reonok
22:22:50bluebrotherthat command takes the new nick as argument
22:23:00bluebrotherso "/nick foobar" will change your nick to "foobar"
22:23:14bluebrotheryou are of course not limited to the nick "foobar" *g*
22:23:30Reonkk
22:23:39Reonso.......
22:23:41Reonlol
22:24:08Reonwhere can i get those gameboy games for my ipod? any good websites?
22:24:30scorcheas i said, google is your best bet
22:24:39Reoni think it would look funny to have a game like "Pokemon" on my ipod!!!!

22:25:08scorchealso, every other line doesnt have to be "lol" or "XD"
22:25:36Reonyeahbut every time i look for the games they take me to website where they "sell gameboy games" like ebay!!
22:26:06scorchewell, this channel is for rockbox related questions..."where can i get gameboy games" is not one of those
22:26:28Reonok?
22:26:55Reonjust asking you if you know any.....and igues the answer is no.
22:27:03bluebrotheralso, distributing a pokemon ROM most likely will be pirating, and we don't support stealing music / ROMs / etc
22:27:23bluebrother(unless that music / ROM / whatever is freely distributable, of course)
22:27:38Reoni didnt say i wanted "pokemon" i said my ipod would look funny with a game like that!
22:27:49Reon: )
22:27:51dionoeaReon: see query
22:28:13dionoea(you most likely won't be able to reply though)
22:28:31Reondont u think i would look stupid playing p[okemon on my ipod in "high school"????
22:28:35bluebrothersure, but finding freely distributable stuff shouldn't be too hard, and people in here won't help you with any other
22:28:49*dionoea finds pokemon quite entertaining
22:28:57Reonok
22:29:04scorchewell, technically we wont help you find either, as it is out of the scope of this channel
22:29:05dionoea(and i've finished high school a long time ago)
22:29:05bluebrothermaybe playing the already shipped tetris clone looks better ;-)
22:29:07Reoni guess its all right then
22:29:26davinaschool? whats that? I cant remember :)

22:32:07Reondo any of u guys have an ipod?
22:32:13Reonan ipod video 30gb
22:32:16Reon???
22:32:22*davina has ipod 60gb video
22:32:23linuxstbmutantpineapple: That patch is out of date now - it won't be straightforward to apply it.
22:32:33Reonlike mine : )
22:32:44Reonoh
22:32:59mutantpineapplelinuxstb: is there a newer equivalent?
22:33:06linuxstbNo
22:33:08Reonhey i heard u canm give u'r ipod more memory is that true?
22:33:26mutantpineapplewell then i guess i'm stuck ;)
22:33:33linuxstbmutantpineapple: If there was a newer version it would be (or at least should be) added to that page.
22:33:45mutantpineapplelinuxstb: there's a 0.2 version linked lower down
22:34:48Reonhey can i put a photo as a background on my ipod?
22:34:49PaulJamlinuxstb: are you sure? a few days ago it applied fine on my build and also compiled with no errors after i removed the IBSS_ATTR from the one line.
22:35:00Reonusing rockbox or something?
22:35:08dionoeaReon: yes. It's explained in the manual.
22:35:18Reono
22:35:26davinareon you can make a theme with rockbox, you can have whatever background you like

22:45:31Reonno school is over
22:45:42Reoni'm in the library at school
22:45:56dionoeamutantpineapple: you'd better do it before (although it doesn't matter in most cases)
22:46:03mutantpineapplek cheers
22:46:58bluebrothershhh! Don't talk in the library
22:47:00Reonhey i just downloaded that twilight theme or backdrop....but it isnt just 1 file its alot of them and its got some pic of final fantasy and shadow the hedgehog
22:47:10mutantpineapplehawt
22:47:19Reonwich one do i copy
22:47:20Reon????
22:47:32davinayou need rockbox installed on your ipod to use the wps theme
22:47:47Reoni have it
22:48:02Reonbut wich of the ones i donloaded do i copy
22:48:05Reon???
22:48:12davinaok, are you running windows?
22:48:23Reonyup
22:48:30PaulJamdoes the zip contain a .rockbox folder?
22:48:37Reonyeah
22:49:02bluebrotherwhy don't we have selfinstalling themes?
22:49:09Reonit called .rockbox.
22:49:11davinaok so if ur ipod is on drive X:\ then unzip the downloaded file to X:\ there should be a .rockbox folder on there already
22:49:11PaulJamthen you propably have to extract the zip to the root of your player
22:49:38Reonok i did that
22:49:43linuxstbbluebrother: An unzip plugin?
22:49:59Redbrevaor use rbutil...
22:50:12 Quit desowin ("use linux")
22:50:34bluebrotherlike this ... though I would prefer tar as it's much easier to handle
22:50:54bluebrotherlike the plugin I wrote some time ago ;-)
22:51:14Reonhow do i use the themes
22:51:16Reon???
22:51:23Reongo to settings?
22:51:27davinagot settings->themes then pick the theme you want
22:51:36davina*goto
22:51:36Reonok let me try
22:51:40Reonthanks
22:51:55bluebrother"browse themes" maybe?
22:52:08Reonhold on a sec. plz
22:52:12linuxstbbluebrother: IMO the problem that needs solving is slow loading of themes, not installation.
22:52:29*bluebrother recommends the manual: http://www.rockbox.org/manual.shtml
22:52:37davinais that not more down to how many images are in a theme though?

22:52:48bluebrotherlinuxstb, agreed, but installing is also an issue that repeatedly causes problems
22:53:03linuxstbWhich rbutil has solved...
22:54:08bluebrothercan it install themes from arbitrary pages? AFAIK it only uses rockbox-themes.org
22:54:29linuxstbDoes it need to? Anyone can upload to rockbox-themes.org afaik.
22:54:31Reonare the the themes supposed to be in a folder call backdrops? or the one called themes?
22:54:52davinai have a mirror copy of the contents of my ipod in one of my main filesystems, i sync using a shell script that downloads the latest build, unpacks it to the mirror area, and then checks date diffs between mirror and ipod and copies across newer file, including any new CDs i might have ripped that day
22:55:00bluebrotherthere will always be people around distributon themes on other pages
22:55:23 Part dewdude ("Leaving")
22:55:29bluebrotherand wasn't there the idea to make all themes at that page comply to some licensing rules?
22:56:10linuxstbI think the idea was that a more official version of rockbox-themes.org would need to pay more attention to licensing/copyright.
22:56:51Reonuuuummmm.....where do the themese have to be again???
22:57:20 Quit petur ("here today, gone tomorrow")
22:57:36linuxstbReon: If you download the theme .zip file to your computer, and then right-click on it, do you get an "Extract to..." option?
22:57:47davinaReon, usually the zip file has all the necessary folders and put the files into ./backdrops ./fonts ./wps and also ./wps/themenamehere
22:58:21Reon no it just says "extract all"
22:58:42Reonand i clicked that
22:58:44davinathat'll do it

23:09:39bluebrotherpossible: yes, sensible: depends on.
23:11:06LloreanPretty much depends on whether it broke because the change won't work in its current form, or if the patch program just can't figure out where the appropriate line went
23:11:58mutantpineapplesince someone mentioned they successfully applied it a couple of days ago, i'm assuming it just can't figure it out
23:12:12mutantpineapplenot exactly bullet-proof logic but...
23:12:16LloreanThat's not really grounds to make that assumption
23:12:30LloreanOne single change to the SVN can make a patch require actual work to resync.
23:13:36bluebrotherit highly depends on what changed in svn. Resyncing can be as easy as adjusting a single line or as hard as almost rewriting large parts of the patch
