#rockbox log for 2007-06-12

00:00:04amiconnOn linux you wouldn't use it anyway, would you?
00:00:05krazykittedrock, well, the patch is THERE, it just doesn't seem to have been updated in the last year
00:00:09XavierGrwell right now the vmware image can work for all OSes (given that they can run vm)
00:00:20amiconnYou'd rather install the dev environment natively
00:00:27XavierGryes but on Mac?
00:00:37amiconnThere is no vmware for mac afaik
00:00:38tedrockdammit
00:00:39krazykitworks on any x86 mac.
00:00:53krazykiti thought vmware had one for mac now
00:00:57LloreanI thought the dev tools could be set up on OSX anyway.
00:00:59tedrockkrazykit: all they said was "[17:05] <bluebrother> tedrock: IIRC there was a patch for that in the tracker"
00:01:03 Quit Arathis ("Bye, bye")
00:01:15 Quit Bagder ("*plopp*")
00:01:16tedrockso that's the only thing i found relating to it. anyone else know if there is another patch for itunes playlists?
00:01:21XavierGrif they can then nevermind, though still it is good for users that don't know how to set their environment on their OS
00:01:22 Part TrueJournals
00:01:26krazykittedrock, the patch is there, sure, but that doesn't mean it works with current svn
00:01:48amiconnThe only reason dealing with the vmware thing *imo* is the notorious cygwin slowness (which isn't really cygwin's fault)
00:01:54tedrocki think i may cry
00:02:47zewhy do people still use vmware when there's qemu
00:03:01tedrocki'll go back to my orginal question then. does anyone know a way to convert itunes playlists into something rockbox can use?
00:03:25zetedrock: strip everything but the relative paths and filenames?
00:03:25zeheh
00:03:26krazykitze, qemu doesn't run on windows, afair
00:03:28linuxstbLlorean: Yes, OSX works fine as a dev environment.
00:03:36zekrazykit: really?
00:03:45 Quit DerPapst ("So Long And Thanks For All The Fish!")
00:03:53krazykitze, huh. i guess it does
00:03:55*tedrock shoots himself
00:03:57zeheh
00:03:59krazykiti'd have sworn it was linux only.
00:04:02krazykitwell, *nix
00:04:21krazykitmust be kqemu i'm thinking of
00:04:24Lloreantedrock: There's about a million programs that can make M3U playlists, if all else fails recreating them shouldn't be very hard.
00:04:30zewell yeah that makes sense
00:04:46tedrockLlorean: what do you use :D
00:05:16LloreanI create my playlists on the player, as I need them.
00:05:26krazykitif you want a media player that makes m3u, check out everything but itunes and probably sony's media player
00:05:34LloreanUsually I either listen to a single album, a single genre, or everything on shuffle.
00:05:38 Quit lostnihilist (Remote closed the connection)
00:05:43LloreanSo I don't need to make actual playlists very often.
00:05:59tedrockah. i've been spoiled by smart playlists
00:06:09*krazykit has never made a playlist ever.
00:06:39*amiconn doesn't like when programs try to be smarter than the operator
00:06:52amiconnI'd rather make my playlists myself
00:06:58LloreanSmart playlists still only update when you sync with iTunes, right?
00:07:19LloreanYou can probably reproduce some of the functionality using custom queries on the Rockbox database.
00:07:24tedrockyah. but i have one for example called Goodies and it updates based on play count and rating
00:07:32amiconn(and I think I never actually saved a playlist except for testing)
00:07:55Lloreantedrock: Yeah, you can probably reproduce that with the Database.
00:08:05LloreanOf course, you'd lose the whole "have to sync it for the playlist to change" aspect.
00:08:14LloreanInstead you'd just re-run the list on the database...
00:08:30LloreanI mean, some people like hooking their MP3 player up to a computer, I suppose...
00:08:30Llorean:-P

00:08:37tedrockhrmm i'll have to mess with the data base a bit
00:08:40stripwaxReading that forum post about a (possible?) sokoban level bug made me remember this: http://users.bentonrea.com/~sasquatch/sokoban/ Good look for sokoban, and imo the current visuals are a bit poor. Any demand for better sokoban visuals?
00:08:42tedrocki hook it up to charge it :D
00:09:03Lloreanstripwax: I wouldn't mind the visuals changing to that, at all.

00:09:18stripwaxoh and anyone taken a look at http://www.rockbox.org/tracker/task/7218 recently?
00:09:19tedrocksadly the only thing i see i'll loose using rockbox is playing my video podcasts
00:09:20stripwax:)
00:09:21Lloreanstripwax: Is there a solution to that corner? I couldn't see one.
00:09:31Lloreantedrock: Rockbox dual boots.
00:09:32amiconnkrazykit: Yes, tetex was dropped. Unstable already has texlive instead, but it didn't propagate to testing yet
00:09:36LloreanJust boot into the original firmware to play them.
00:09:37stripwaxLlorean - It looks buggy to me. Do you happen to know where those levels came from
00:09:50 Join fiftyfour123 [0] (n=chatzill@cpe-74-73-158-167.nyc.res.rr.com)
00:09:52Lloreanstripwax: It sounds like it's the official level 92. I don't know, though
00:10:01tedrockLlorean: yah i kinda figured that.
00:10:11 Join Thundercloud_ [0] (n=thunderc@82.152.207.33)
00:10:32tedrocki'll have to figure out how to use the database
00:10:59*tedrock cracks open the manual
00:11:02alienbiker99will rockbox ever support jpeg for covers or is it pretty much settled as bmp
00:11:09stripwaxLlorean - I couldn't find much from a google for 'official sokoban levels'. Seems like the 'official' sokoban had only 92 levels tho
00:11:26LloreanBy "official" I mean "those included with Rockbox"
00:11:28stripwaxalienbiker99 - rockbox doesn't even support bmp for albumart (not officially)
00:11:42Lloreanalienbiker99: I think the consensus is in .bmp though
00:11:51 Join entheh [0] (n=purr@88-106-187-220.dynamic.dsl.as9105.com)
00:11:56stripwaxLlorean - why?
00:11:56alienbiker99ok thanks
00:12:07stripwax(out of interest. happy to accept the consensus)
00:12:15Lloreanstripwax: Because there's no jpeg decoding in the core, and album art alone isn't necessarily a good reason to add it.
00:12:50krazykitthe size difference between bmp and jpg at the small images isn't really enough to justify it, either.
00:13:00stripwaxLlorean - does that mean bmp resizing *would* make it into the core?
00:13:21stripwaxkrazykit - fair point. what about id3 tags that embed jpgs though?
00:13:35 Quit XavierGr (Nick collision from services.)
00:13:36amiconnThose are nasty
00:13:38Lloreanstripwax: *could* rather than *would* on the resizing thing, I think.
00:13:38 Join XavierGr [0] (n=xavier@ppp176-239.adsl.forthnet.gr)
00:13:42krazykitthat's a bastardization of id3, imo
00:13:47XavierGrmy ISP is kidding me :\
00:13:52tedrockdamn no play count or last played option
00:13:54*amiconn had an mp3 file that included 100 copies of the same image (!)
00:14:08amiconnThe id3 tag was larger than the actual mp3 data...
00:14:14tedrocknevermind. i found somethin
00:14:25Lloreantedrock: Yes, there is, though it may not be documented yet. Open up and examine the tagnavi.config file in a text editor. There's also probably a page on the wiki talking about it, though I couldn't remember the name for the life of me
00:14:42stripwaxamiconn - good grief!
00:15:08tedrockLlorean: hrmm so it exists i just gotta figure out how to use it

00:31:30Nico_PLlorean: yes, I saw it and it seems nice
00:31:41tedrockif i delete "tagcache_ram: on" would that revert to the default off or should i just replace on with off?
00:31:43Nico_Phas it been discussed ?

00:33:27LloreanNico_P: People have been in favour of a bitmap by parts method for a while, I believe. It's just been a case of it not getting finished
00:33:44safetydanpacifist_049: when you extracted rockbox.zip did you overwrite everything in .rockbox?

00:35:15LloreanWhat bootloader version do you have?
00:35:25LloreanAnd, is there a rockbox.iriver file in the root of your player?
00:35:49Nico_PLlorean: so I think I'll try to have a look at it and commit it if I find the time
00:35:59Nico_Pbut I like the tag approach
00:36:23pacifist_049Llorean: Don't know. Haven't changed that since I first installed it about a year ago. There is a rockbox.iriver in the root directory
00:36:44Lloreanpacifist_049: There should *not* be one in the root, and it's unnecessary with the newest bootloader, so this is likely your problem.
00:36:52Lloreanpacifist_049: Follow the bootloader installation instructions from the manual.
00:37:49pacifist_049Llorean: 'kay. I'll try a fresh flash.
00:40:30tedrockjust curious. why is it if i select something in the database it will flash "Searching... 0 found ()" yet displays the results right after
00:40:54LloreanIt found the results before it had time to update the 0 to a number.

00:43:52amiconnyes
00:43:59amiconnIt's in no way an equivalent
00:44:25*amiconn is just fiddling with this annyoing util named aptitude
00:45:38pacifist_049Llorean: that worked, thanks. I guess I was using a version of the firmware which relied upon rockbox.iriver as when I removed this it booted straight into the original iRiver system.
00:45:49Nico_Pamiconn: you've tried it without command line arguments, have you ?
00:45:59amiconnsure
00:46:09Nico_Pto me it's what you aksed for, "a text mode synaptic"
00:46:33Nico_PI'm not sure you'll find anything better

00:47:41Nico_P:)
00:48:07amiconnE.g.: How do I make aptitude display packages which are removed but not purged, in order to purge them?
00:48:27amiconnIn synaptic this is 2 mouse clicks
00:49:10Nico_Poh... let me look... IIRC last time I wanted to do that I used a crazy combination of aptitude (to get the list of packages), grep, tr and dpkg
00:49:20obodpkg −−get-selections | grep deinstall I think
00:49:38amiconnI want to see the list... interactively
00:50:45amiconnOr another thing: How do I make aptitude display a list of *all* installed packages, i.e. with not categories below the 'installed' level?

03:04:34LloreanBut of course, Rockbox is open source, you can just read the code that deals with it.
03:04:40LloreanI'm not sure if it's documented somewhere
03:05:22steveireLlorean: I'm trying to figure out how do make a machine read it. Does it sound impossible that I could write a python script to do it?
03:05:44steveireI've been looking at tagcache.h/c
03:05:45LloreanVery likely.
03:06:12LloreanI believe those should be all you need, but I'm not sure
03:09:27steveireLlorean: http://www.rockbox.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/DataBase <<< This is the only documentation I see. I might have better luck looking at the code with fresher eyes.
03:10:13safetydansteveire, tagcache.c/h are probably the only documentation of the file format we have at the moment. It should be possible to write a Python script to read/write the tagcache db. You might be able to use that songdb.pl script as a start
03:10:22safetydanI think it was updated with tagcache but I'm not sure.
03:11:05LloreanI think it was too.
03:11:44LloreanI'm not sure it's completely up to date (won't create a working database) but I think it was able to create working ones for at least a while before it fell behind again.
03:11:57safetydanLlorean, thanks for the clarification with the sort plugin.

03:32:21AndreeWWcan any1 help me convert videos so i can watch on my nano? the wiki page is a bit confusing
03:33:49saratogaAndreeWW: if you have a specific question, its best to ask it
03:34:51AndreeWWCan any1 help clear up on how to convert video so i can watch on ipod nano? the wiki page is too confusing
03:36:02saratogasaratoga: you should probably mention which part you're confused about
03:36:02LloreanAndreeWW: That's not a very specific question. The wiki page offers several programs, and several methods, as well as describing what the format needs to be if you want to use your own preferred program
03:36:54AndreeWWwell its not that the terminal command is confusing me if i am using vlc from a mac
03:37:18AndreeWWive tryed isquint but it converts it to .mp4 instead of mpg.
03:38:03saratogai don't know what isquint is, but its not mentioned in the tutorial
03:38:15saratogashould probably stick to programs described there unless you know what you're doing
03:38:40AndreeWWisqnt is supposedly made to onvert videos but it is not helpful
03:38:43jac0bllorean: should make a bug report on that bookmark feature I think I found the problem
03:39:03AndreeWWok well ill stick to vlc then
03:39:16AndreeWWbut can u help me clear up on how to convert?
03:39:58saratogajust do what the tutorial says
03:40:10AndreeWWits too confusing
03:40:23AndreeWWi tryed already but nothing happened.
03:40:37Lloreanjac0b: Yes, go ahead and file one, be as clear on how to reproduce as you can.
03:40:55saratogaAndreeWW: then i guess you'll have to give up
03:41:07LloreanAndreeWW: Google ffmpegX, it may be easier for you to get the hang of.
03:41:07AndreeWWthanx... so helpful -.-
03:41:13LloreanWell, they're not our tools
03:41:35saratogasomeone will probably write an easier way eventually
03:41:39LloreanNobody here is an expert in using them, people from various places have just posted explanations on how they've managed to convert videos: What they think is the easiest way.
03:41:41saratogayou could wait until that happens
03:41:50Lloreansaratoga: I'm pretty sure WInFF is about as easy as you can get, but it's not a solution for OSX
03:42:05LloreanIf I had an OSX computer available, I'd attempt to wrangle ffmpegX into a similar solution

03:57:44LloreanAndreeWW: I don't know what you mean by "right one". You just need to make sure all the settings mentioned in the wiki are true. Right audio format and sample rate, right resolution, etc. For example, I don't know what "rate 12" means. Frame rate, bitrate, samplerate?
03:58:22AndreeWWframerate video bitrate is 20 kb/s
03:59:35Lloreansaratoga: Why ++i instead of i++?
03:59:38Soapwhoa. ungodly low
03:59:40LloreanDoesn't that make i==0 impossible?
04:00
04:00:03LloreanAndreeWW: Video bitrate should be at a minimum 128 for the Nano, And that's bare, bare minimum
04:00:14Llorean256-384 is I think a decent range.
04:00:29AndreeWWahhh thanx ill try that
04:00:31LloreanBut my best bet is that the 12 framerate is the problem
04:00:38LloreanMany encoders refuse to encode video at 12 without special overrides
04:00:49 Quit jac0b ()
04:00:53safetydanLlorean, ++i is (in that context anyway) basically the same as i++
04:01:58LloreanRight, pardon me.

04:02:26AndreeWWagh!! again i got this error " *PANIC* updating sze on empty dir entry 43"

04:06:48AndreeWWyepbitrate 128 kb size 176x128 framerate 12 encoded with mpeg2
04:07:16Llorean"change the framerate like I said"
04:07:35LloreanI said bitrate, then told you the framerate is most likely the real problem
04:07:56AndreeWWframerate to 128 and keep bitrate 128 too?
04:08:10Llorean128 doesn't make any sense as a framerate.

04:08:43AndreeWWwoah
04:08:45MalpineIs there a way to change the time before my screen goes off?
04:08:57safetydansaratoga, I seem to recall that there's some folklore that says ++i is faster than i++ on some platforms
04:08:59Soapif you leave framerate black, won't it default to the source framerate?

04:21:41LloreanThe audio needs to be MP3, 44100hz, as the wiki page says.

09:41:06JdGordonhopefully this doesnt sound too stupid, but whats the guard buffer used for with the ring buffer?
09:42:10peturto detect when the code writes outside the buffer?
09:42:28linuxstb_It's to handle the wraparound point. It's 32KB in size, so if the current pointer is at the very end of the buffer, and the codec requests a pointer to 32KB of data, the guard buffer is used.
09:42:39peturoh
09:43:08linuxstb_It's used to hide the wraparound from the codec - so they are always guaranteed to get a pointer to up to 32KB of contiguous data.
09:44:31JdGordonso the data that wraps around is copied into the guard buffer part when its being read?
09:44:59linuxstb_I don't know the details of how it's implemented, but I would assume so.
09:45:08JdGordonok ta
09:45:19linuxstb_My only knowledge of the playback engine is from a codec's point of view.

12:07:10GodEater_linuxstb: looks like getting wpa-supplicant working on my PS3 is going to be a complete journey in the dark. I've googled all morning and not found any reference to someone who's successfully done it before
12:07:22GodEater_DerPapst: it happens occasionally :)
12:10:44JdGordonDerPapst: hey, wasup?
12:10:50JdGordonpondlife: still round?
12:11:48DerPapstJdGordon: if the font is tinier than the icon set the icons overlap. maybe it would be better than to make the selection bar as high as the icons in this case. http://web.inf.tu-dresden.de/~s5242253/rockbox/bigger_icons.png <−− a bit exaggerating
12:12:04*DerPapst would never use such a tiny font...
12:12:34JdGordonDerPapst: no can do... the list is drawn using the lcd line stuff... so its entirely dependant o the font size
12:13:07DerPapstah... bummer
12:13:19JdGordonusing a smaller font than the icon (although not by ha much) does look good sometimes
12:14:03DerPapsti'm already used to it.. so i'm fine with it :)
12:15:25linuxstbWasn't there a patch to make line-height independent from font height in the lcd drivers?
12:16:43safetydanI thought that was for the WPS only?
12:17:04linuxstbIt was only used in the WPS, but IIRC, it changed the LCD driver. So could be usable in the list widget as well.
12:17:12pixelmayes and it didn't work correctly as soon as the line had to scroll
12:18:09linuxstbWhat happened when scrolling?
12:19:50pixelmahaven't tried, but that's what Nico_P said about its own patch
12:20:00JdGordonline scrolling uses the font hieght to work out the line height, which that patch shuold have addressed.
12:20:23linuxstbAh, it didn't change the lcd drivers at all, just the WPS code...

12:20:58Nico_Pthe patch only changed the WPS... to work well with scrolling it would've needed to change le LCD drivers
12:21:16linuxstbNico_P: Yes, I just looked at your patch again and saw that...

13:10:56rasherAnother thing I thought of concerning rbutil, is that if it were to appear officially in distros, perhaps it should explain itself more. A short note on the first tab that explains what Rockbox is, and that this tool will install it on your DAP.
13:11:55linuxstbamiconn: id3v2 sounds simple to implement - assuming it would just be a matter of hooking into the existing id3v2 parser in some way.
13:15:16Nico_Prasher: it's strange... it's not in my KDE menu
13:16:08Nico_Pwhere are the menu config files ?
13:16:38rasherYou should have a /usr/share/applications/rbutil.desktop
13:16:59rasherIf not, something went wrong with the packaging somehow
13:17:15Nico_Pthat one I have
13:17:38rasherEven weirder, I believe KDE is just expected to pick it up from there
13:17:47rasherAnd indeed it did, for me
13:18:04Nico_Pwell it does show the icon when I run the program
13:18:17Nico_Pso it does see it but it never added it to the menu
13:18:27rasherThat's part of the binary I think, not related to the .desktop file
13:18:35safetydanAnyone had any trouble with Rockbox and parsing files with ID3v2.4 tags?
13:18:48rasherOr rather, I'm sure it is, because it didn't change when I changed the icon
13:18:56*Nico_P must be blind
13:19:06Nico_Pin fact it's in one of my menus
13:19:13rasherHaha
13:19:26rasherThat's one mystery solved then.
13:19:31Nico_Pindeed
13:20:10Nico_PI was looking really hard in the debian menu I have and only quiclkly glanced over the other ones... :(
13:20:33rasherI think KDE might be hiding duplicates in the debian menu
13:20:44rasherThat is, entries which are already in the main KDE menu
13:21:04rashersafetydan, what kind of trouble?
13:22:04safetydanrasher: basically it seems to... well not parse more than the the first tag. The metadata is parsed correctly by other programs though (Ex Falso for example).

13:27:16GodEater_what's with the renaming? That can't be useful to anyone...
13:27:18B4gderbut 2.4 doesn't remove the XSOx it seems
13:27:27*B4gder reads http://www.id3.org/id3v2.4.0-changes
13:27:45rasherGodEater_, the two frames probably work slightly differently
13:28:05rasherin which case renaming makes slight sense
13:28:22safetydanah, maybe I'm misreading something. It seems the X forms were experimental and were superseded by the T forms.
13:28:22rasherBut only slight, since the id3 version is noted in the tag already..
13:28:49*GodEater_ is still grumpy from finding out the linux kernel devs decided to change the device name on his PS3's hard drive somewhere between 2.6.16 and 2.6.22, but didn't really say why.
13:28:54GodEater_name changes are bad
13:29:22rasherGodEater_, hda > sda?
13:29:44GodEater_no, sda to ps3da
13:30:01GodEater_makes no sense at all to me - and they didn't go out of their way to tell anyone either.
13:30:15B4gderthere's no XSOx frames mentioned in http://www.id3.org/id3v2.3.0
13:30:35B4gderin fact I find no sort related tags in 2.3
13:30:37rasherI believe anyone could make up X___ frames

13:32:02safetydanhttp://wiki.musicbrainz.org/PicardQt/TagMapping is where I got the impression that XSOx was in 2.3
13:33:49B4gderRBUF - "Recommended buffer size" ...
13:34:00rasherThere's a lot of crack frames
13:34:11B4gderindeed
13:34:36rasherI like the fact that you can set the APIC frame "type" to "a bright coloured fish"
13:34:48GodEater_!!
13:35:11B4gdervery useful indeed
13:35:17rasherThe rest of the types make sense, but that's just..
13:35:21B4gderI have so many fish pics in my song tags
13:36:15rasherI'd like to see a file which used all id3v2 frames (including artist, composer, recording location... pictures).. I'm not sure it'd fit on my h120..
13:36:37JdGordoncan anyone think of any problems with chaging ata_is_active() in the e200 driver to always return 1 instead of 0?
13:37:13B4gderthe "During Recording" picture has to be a rare one
13:37:29B4gdernot at all as popular as the fish
13:38:50rashersafetydan, that's a useful page though
13:38:54B4gderLINK - "To keep space waste as low as possible this frame may be used to link information from another ID3v2 tag that might reside in another audio file or alone in a binary file."
13:39:54rasherI expect ID3v2.5 to be turing complete
13:40:59safetydanSomething definitely fishy about 2.4 parsing. It's telling me the frame size is 16384 bytes when it's only 2139 bytes
13:41:05steveireHey. Does anyone have a knowledge of how the database files in rockbox are structured?
13:41:29steveireI heard yesterday Slasheri perhaps.
13:41:53rasherYes, certainly him.. I'm pretty sure there is/was a wiki page on it
13:43:03rasherSearching the wiki for "database" isnt very helpful though
13:43:26steveirerasher: Do you mean this http://www.rockbox.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/DataBase ?
13:43:48rasherThat's.. where I expected it to be, but it clearly isn't
13:43:55steveireIt's written for users. I'm trying to make sense of the database_x.tcd files in .rcokbox
13:44:29steveireSo you say there's another?
13:44:56rasherI thought there was, but when I think about it, I think that was about the old tagdb
13:46:16rasherI think there's either the source, or Slasheri
13:48:37steveireI think I'll keep looking at the code for a bit. I might see if I can find an email address for him in a bit,

13:59:31rashersteveire, what are you planning to do?
14:00
14:00:33steveireI want to be able to read the rockbox database while my player is connected to it. The thing is I'm an amatuer programmer.
14:00:48steveireRead the db from my pc that is.
14:01:29steveiremanipulation and sorting are not on my mind yet. First step is to see how the info is stored and get it.
14:02:29rasherA librockboxdb written in C might be helpful to enable media players to support rockbox players even better
14:02:50B4gderiirc, the tagcache code can be used to build a stand-alone tool
14:02:51steveirerasher: Yes. That's my thinking.
14:03:09steveireB4gder: You might be thinking of the deprecated perl script.
14:03:14B4gdernope
14:03:22rasherB4gder, any idea how I'd go about doing this
14:03:22B4gderand the perl script isn't really deprecated either btw
14:03:36steveireoh, well if you can point me at it I'd appreciate it
14:03:56B4gderrasher: the code uses #ifdefs for __PCTOOL__ for that purpose
14:04:33B4gderah, 'make database' in tools
14:05:01rasherWell, the perl script only supports a small subset of the codecs supported by rockbox
14:05:13B4gderyes, but I think it makes a valid db
14:05:48rasherI believe you're right. At least I remember seeing updates to it
14:05:55steveireWhat does __PCTOOL__ mean?
14:05:58B4gderat least I know hardeep made it do some time ago
14:06:18B4gdersteveire: that's a define that's set when the code is used to build a stand alone tool
14:06:33steveireInteresting
14:06:37rasherHrm, make database in tools fails
14:07:05B4gderyeah, I bet it isn't that well maintained as it could be

14:10:51KiOuiSo I guess either the audio DSP is turned off to save power, or the Rockbox code has a bug here
14:11:47B4gderI believe it is a design flaw in the playback code that has been in there for a while

14:21:54Vixusawesome.
14:23:59JdGordonif read() returns less than the requested size, can it be assumed the file is finished bein read?
14:24:58rasherI would guess it's finished, or unreadable
14:25:16B4gderI think you should stop when it returns 0
14:25:19KiOuiI think so: finished or unreadable
14:25:59KiOuiSo I would advise a read() and if less than the length, a further read() to ensure we cannot read other things.
14:26:00B4gderposix read() can return less than the full amount
14:26:30KiOuiI would advise so a while (read(...) > 0)
14:27:48KiOuiEr even a while ((ret = read(...)) > 0)
14:28:08KiOuiwhich would allow to test ret after, to see if read() returned -1

15:38:48KiOuisilje: I don't have the code here, so cannot look into the WPS loader
15:39:13siljefair enough :)
15:40:08B4gderhttp://www.rockbox.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/CustomWPS
15:40:23JdGordonsilje: its possible the filenames for the bmps you are trying t load are longer than MAX_PATH (290)
15:40:48JdGordonor even less if the wps code is man
15:40:51JdGordonmean*
15:40:51siljethat's the complete path and file name?
15:40:54JdGordonyes
15:40:59siljehm
15:41:01silje*checks*
15:41:36pondlifeJdGordon: Test???
15:41:44JdGordongood point :)
15:41:47*JdGordon goes to commit
15:41:54JdGordonbtw, I havnt even compiled it once yet
15:42:16JdGordonpondlife: serisouly thogh, I'm not sure how moving backwards in the buffer is supposed to work
15:42:51JdGordonstraight after a read the old data is bassically forgotten about
15:43:02pondlifeWell, it needs to allow for rewinding and skip back, with rebuffering if needed...
15:43:06JdGordonunless I add more variabls to the handle struct
15:43:27siljeJdGordon: hm, no... they're not even close... example: "/.rockbox/wps/uniRiver24/background.bmp", 40 characters...
15:43:31pondlifeYou shouldn't "forget" about data until you actually need to reuse the buffer space, I'd think.
15:44:09JdGordonsilje: odd.. sorry Nico_P is the man you want t talk to
15:44:32pondlifeJdGordon: : Mark it as "probably not needed", but kewp track of it...?
15:45:06JdGordonpondlife: I know, but the problem will come when we want to start dumping old data, we then need to go through every handle and make sure its not trying to point to invalid buffer
15:46:09siljeJdGordon: ok, thanks :)
15:46:15pondlifeOK, the point being that you don't need to "unbuffer" until later.
15:47:24JdGordonhmm.. gonna have to use more variables I think
15:47:42pondlifeNeeds more cowbell I guess.
15:48:58*JdGordon would like to be able to have a demo plugin going by tonight, but its almost midnight so not gonna happen :p
15:49:59linuxstbrasher: How do you use pngs in rbutil? Are they still linked into the exe like the xpms?
15:54:04rasherlinuxstb, no, that's the problem.. I don't know how to do that
15:55:10dionoeadoesn't the exe come in an installer or a zip anyway ?
15:55:25KiOuiTo all of you: is anyone working onto the iPod whell driver ?
15:55:35rasherA png can be loaded from a file, or a resource, but I don't know how to create and use resources, so for now I'll just make it work with files. Changing it should be relatively simple anyway
15:55:58linuxstbrasher: What's the issue with xpms anyway? A simple "convert file.png file.xpm" solves that.
15:56:11rasherxpms don't support alpha-transparency
15:56:42rasherI'll show you the difference, hang on
15:58:13JdGordonKiOui: I dont know if anyone is currently working on it.. whats the problem?
15:58:52rasherlinuxstb, compare http://forums.rockbox.org/index.php?action=dlattach;topic=7574.0;attach=1772;image and http://forums.rockbox.org/index.php?action=dlattach;topic=7574.0;attach=1776;image
15:59:42KiOuiJdGordon: Sometimes, the when at the bottom of a menu / list, going down loops to the top of the list, and sometimes it doesn't.
16:00
16:00:15KiOuiI think it would always not do this, for easier manipulations.
16:01:02JdGordonKiOui: ah yes, there was talk awhile ago abou adding a short time allowance for when you lift up your fingure off the wheel before it sends the BUTTON_REL (release) event
16:01:12JdGordonwhich is why it does that in the menu/lists
16:02:14KiOuiIn which file is it?
16:02:24linuxstbrasher: OK, but we need to keep it as a single .exe, no directories full of pngs to load at runtime.
16:02:42rasherYes, that should be perfectly possible. I just don't know how to work it.
16:03:23JdGordonKiOui: firmware/target/arm/ipod/button-ipod.c or something
16:03:36KiOuiok
16:03:46KiOuiI'll check out a working SVN copy and look further
16:08:39dionoearasher: check the Embedding PNG Images page on the wxwidgets.org/wiki
16:09:00dionoeaarg no ... they use xpms
16:10:11dionoeaah no, looks like it's something else
16:10:16dionoeawell .. you should give it a try :)
16:10:16linuxstbrasher: Can wx load a png from a memory buffer?
16:11:01dionoeathat's exatcly what they're doing on that wiki page in fact
16:11:45dionoeathey dump the png to a C struct and use that at runtime
16:13:04*KiOui found where the wheel iPod driver is, studying...
16:13:13rasherdionoea, thanks, I'll have a look
16:14:05linuxstbrasher: There's a "bin2c" program in rbutil/sansapatcher/ if that helps.

17:49:08XavierGrlol for some seconds I thought you said "beer" function :D
17:49:18pondlifelol, still awaiting that
17:49:33pondlifeBeer = weak, moderate or strong
17:50:05pondlifeI assume it's because the skip can be slow to activate, so the beep avoids double-skipping
17:51:38pondlifeI would very much like it to give feedback on any key press, not just skip.
17:51:46amiconnThe beep was added by Slasheri, for skipping feedback
17:52:28amiconnThere is another beep (more like a burp) on hwcodec, giving audible feedback of start/pause/unpause/stop recording
17:52:47pondlifeYep, I'm not thinking of touching that one.
17:53:04pondlifeI'm more after a keyclick type feature.
17:53:20pondlifeVery useful when you can't see the LCD or buttons too well!
17:54:14*amiconn thinks that targets with true buttons don't need audible feedback as there is already tactile feedback
17:54:37amiconnTargets with touchy things would profit from audible feedback though
17:54:42pondlifeThe H300 arrow keys aren't great though.
17:54:54amiconnNo, but that's a different problem
17:55:11amiconnAll the targets with buttons connected to pcf adc seem to have problems
17:55:18amiconn(H300, X5 and M5)
17:55:23pondlifeI'd just like audible confirmation that my keypress got to Rockbox.
17:56:03GodEater_Llorean: take a look at that guy asking for ZXBox games - I'm killing myself laughing at the one he particularly wants!
17:56:04pondlifeAnd was thinking that the skip beep might be better in the button code, rather than the playback code.

18:00:40pondlifeLlorean: I don't know much about htat.
18:00:43pondlifethat
18:01:02pondlifeWhat's the advantage of the piezo over SW generated beeps?
18:01:26pondlifeIs it a separate speaker rather than through the output?
18:02:19n1spondlife: yes
18:03:09pondlifeI think I'd prefer it through the headphones - more audible and less likely to annoy those around you.
18:03:25pondlifeI suppose it could be configurable :/
18:03:48LloreanBasically, yeah, the user should have an option "In heaphones" "Piezo" or "Both" ideally
18:04:08pondlifePiezo would be good if DJing blind or something.
18:04:15n1samiconn: are you ok with building just the rockbox main binary with -Os and the plugins with just -O to avoid the memcpy/memset issue for now?
18:04:18LloreanBut in the end, you wouldn't have to add piezo support, just bear in mind *somebody* will want to while writing your code. :-P
18:04:27pondlifelol
18:04:51pondlifeI do *try* to write nice, readable and extensible code...
18:05:49pondlifeSo nobody overly objects to the beep becoming a general key feedback beep? Slasheri?
18:06:30Slasheripondlife: sounds like a good idea, but it would still great to keep that beep on skipping only as well
18:06:35LloreanThere has been some debate (with regards to the wheel on iPod specifically) whether the beep should represent one trigger, or one UI change (move one line on the screen) since some get dropped if they queue.
18:06:44LloreanAs well, holding down a button for scrolling: Multiple beeps, or one?
18:06:55pondlifeLlorean: One
18:07:14pondlifeI was thinking of "beep on initial press" only.
18:07:37pondlifePerhaps with slightly different pitches for different buttons.

18:32:23 Quit juxtap (Read error: 110 (Connection timed out))
18:34:07Slasheristeveire: all string types should have the same padding
18:34:28Slasherithe length is variable but fixed to the padding boundaries
18:35:26Slasheripadding is used because it can reduce the memory requirements when committing the db on the player
18:37:07Slasheriin fact there are three type of indexes: numeric, sorted string and unique sorted string.
18:38:00Slasherisorted string index has a matching entry for each entry in the main index and contains a link to the main index and vice versa
18:38:57Slasheriunique sorted index can match to many entries in main index and thus no link is provided to the main index. Only the main index can have multiple links to sorted unique strings

19:20:34Nico_Pit's much nicer to do on linux than on windows, that's why

19:20:55siljeoh yeah, most compiling work is :)
19:20:58siljethanks :)
19:21:29Nico_Poh that one is actually for windows it seems, http://www.rockbox.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/HowToCompile will probably be more sueful
19:21:45siljefirst step: installing svn... hehe

21:10:45andreasgI'm reading the ipod video tree
21:11:46linuxstbYou mean the first code that's run in Rockbox?
21:13:03andreasgyes, the bootloader returns a pointer which I assume is jumped to or called
21:13:36linuxstbThe initial (low-level) startup code is in firmware/target/arm/crt0-pp.S, which then calls main() in apps/main.c (and cop_main() for the COP).

21:46:48lymecaMy 4th gen iPod was working fine last night and had a near full charge. I turned it off before I went to bed and this morning when I tried to power it on it showed me the low battery screen with an exclamation point icon. Now it won't turn on at all even if it's plugged in to USB or the wall power socket.
21:47:17lymecaFirst off I don't know why it drained overnight if Rockbox actually powers the device down completely when you turn off the iPod.
21:47:32lymecaSecondly, and more importantly, why isn't it starting up again even when plugged in?

22:21:56DChocis what I'm getting
22:22:09amiconnn1s: Why do we want the main binary built with -Os (on targets which aren't low on ram)?
22:22:17DChoclinuxstb you are right I am using 2.95
22:22:35amiconnIf there is a speed advantage, I'd say we should; also if speed stays the same but size is reduced
22:22:59amiconnFor the plugins, no -O option (including the default) will solve the mem* problem permanently
22:23:55linuxstbDChoc: Then you need to install v4.0.3 - you can do that easily by running the tools/rockboxdev.sh script in the Rockbox source. Make sure you change your PATH afterwards so that the newer gcc is first.
22:23:57amiconnI think we need wrappers because linking the mem* functions themselves to the plugins is undesirable, because of iram
22:25:42amiconnIf the plugin versions would also use iram, (1) for plugins which want to use iram anyway, it would take away valuable iram. (2) for plugins which don't use iram right now, it would mean that they would have to stop playback because of iram swapping. (3) On archos, plugins can't use iram

22:52:09linuxstbDChoc: Did you run the rockboxdev.sh script to install it?
22:52:12amiconnI mean, will the crosscompilers still work even when a non-english locale is set?
22:52:18DChocYes
22:52:40linuxstbDChoc: Then it should have displayed a message telling you what to add to your path.

22:52:49VPN-User2Hello there
22:52:59VPN-User2@amiconn: You there?
22:53:15linuxstbDChoc: I think it puts them in /usr/local/arm-elf/bin - unless you edited the script to change the location.
22:53:44DChocYes it does put it there
22:53:47VPN-User2I bought these Ansmann e-max batteries and you were right - the charging problem with rockbox is solved when using them
22:54:42amiconnnice to hear :)

22:55:40VPN-User2Funny thing is: They cost the same as these "high-capacity" 2700mAh batteries
22:55:55linuxstbDChoc: At the beginning - i.e. export PATH=/usr/local/arm-elf/bin:$PATH
22:56:15amiconnThe 2700mAh cells annoyed me too much. Unlike yours, they took charge, but self-discharged faster than I was able to use them (2..3 days)

22:57:14DChocThank You linuxstb its compiling successfully
22:57:31VPN-User2I got 12h playtime out of the box, they were precharged
22:57:50amiconnYes, these new cells come precharged
22:58:20VPN-User2this also means they discharge themselfes much more less
22:58:30amiconn(possible since they don't self discharge in the shop)
22:58:36VPN-User2yes
22:58:46VPN-User2at least way not that much
22:59:21VPN-User2Okay so thank you for the great rockbox charging algo ^^
23:00
23:00:06amiconnheh
23:00:22VPN-User2?
23:00:43amiconnXavierGr: Ditching the crosscompiler locales does work. It just resorts to english (which is even better imo)
23:00:54*amiconn goes saving some more space
23:01:32amiconnVPN-User2: I mean, the charging algo isn't great. It improved over the 2.5 release, but still isn't great
23:01:34XavierGrgreat
23:01:42amiconnBut these new cells are worth their money imo
23:02:20VPN-User2amiconn: Hm. I always wondered why charging at least worked in pre v2.4

23:03:02VPN-User2amiconn: But better a charging algo that does not charge 100% but saves the batteries from damage
23:03:35VPN-User2amiconn: I think 15h playtime is a good value for 2100mAh batteries

23:08:09linuxstbk0rnz: Install instructions and links are in the manual. And yes, it runs in Linux.
23:10:10*amiconn wonders whether the crosscompilers' 'info' subdirs are necessary
23:11:21XavierGrmost certainly they are not
23:11:27XavierGr(but keep a snapshot :P)
23:11:40Bagderno, the .info files are just docs
23:11:52amiconnThe 'locale' was a simple experiment. Just renamed the dir first

23:22:43DerPapstwithout running X is there any way to run rbutil at all? or can you only cross compile it for windows then?
23:22:58amiconnBagder: Do you think checking these in would be a good idea?
23:23:08amiconnThere is no license stated...
23:23:50Bagderin general I think checking in code for all related tools and stuff is good
23:23:56linuxstbWho wrote them?
23:24:06amiconnJörg ([IDC]Dragon)
23:24:41linuxstbAs he's still (occasionally) around, we can just ask him what license they're under.
23:25:00linuxstbBut I agree with Bagder, it's nice to have everything in SVN.
23:25:14amiconnBagder: They would be candidates for an utils/ dir, as they're not needed for building rockbox itself. But then several other tools should be moved from tools/ to utils/ as well
23:25:25Bagderyes
23:25:31BagderI think that would be a nice cleanup
23:25:49Bagderit would also make it easier for the commit-builds not to trigger on unrelated tools commits
23:25:53*DerPapst wonders what "these" are...
23:26:25BagderDerPapst: the utils?
23:26:54DerPapstaren't they already in svn?
23:27:33Bagdertoni's stuff still isn't, afaik
23:28:04Bagderthe emulator and the dissasm
23:28:30DerPapstah.. that answered my next question ;)
23:28:51*Bagder tries hard to answer the third one too, but fails ;-)
23:29:22DerPapstsure.. there is/was no third :P
23:33:04lymecaMy 4th gen iPod was working fine last night and had a near full charge. I turned it off before I went to bed and this morning when I tried to power it on it showed me the low battery screen with an exclamation point icon. Now it won't turn on at all even if it's plugged in to USB or the wall power socket.
23:33:18lymecaFirst off I don't know why it drained overnight if Rockbox actually powers the device down completely when you turn off the iPod.
23:33:25lymecaSecondly, and more importantly, why isn't it starting up again even when plugged in?
