00:21:24Rob2222OF is almost unusable with a80GB disk full with files. it takes years to load.
00:21:47peturaustriancoder is working on a usb stack (device) while I sometimes look at maybe getting a host stack working

00:26:30peturhahaha
00:26:40Rob2222lol
00:26:51Rob2222is it smaller than a h300?
00:27:59linuxstbIt's slightly smaller than my H140 - same width and height, but thinner. I don't know how the h300 compares to the h140...
00:28:15Rob2222340 is bigger
00:28:19Rob2222i had both
00:28:39Rob2222is the 40gb gigabeat with a 2 platter or 1 platter toshiba disc? anyone know?
00:28:47linuxstbThere are both
00:28:54Rob2222ebay just sola a 40gb gigabeat for 140 euros :(
00:28:55linuxstbThe F41 is 1 platter, the F40 is 2 platter.
00:29:15linuxstbThe F41 is even rarer than the F40 though I think.
00:29:16Rob2222damn, was an F40
00:29:54linuxstbRob2222: Just remembered this page - http://www.rockbox.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/HardDriveReplacement
00:30:46Rob2222ahhh, cool. ths :)
00:30:49Rob2222x
00:31:11linuxstbIt may not be 100% accurate yet - it's a relatively new page and is still being completed.
00:32:00Rob2222yep. from the hareware the first creative nomad jukebox zen was damn nice
00:32:05*petur wonders if http://pastebin.com/935567 would be an acceptable fix for the red builds
00:32:32Rob22222,5" hd, height and width almost exact as the 2,5"hd and thinner than the h340
00:32:43peturI know nothing about those archos devices. I just know that code does compile
00:33:38peturshould I just commit it saying 'fix red, may not actually run'?
00:33:43linuxstbpetur: I don't think you need to put the !defined(SIMULATOR) back - sound should work in the sim
00:34:52peturshall I ?
00:35:17linuxstbThat buffer doesn't look aligned...
00:35:41peturhmmm right
00:35:50 Quit Thundercloud (Connection timed out)
00:36:21linuxstbIf it needs to be 4-byte aligned, you could just declare it as an int array.
00:37:20linuxstbBut if there is no PCM output, it seems wasteful to declare a buffer (and presumably to fill it)
00:39:03 Quit pixelma (" reboot :/")
00:39:42peturfrrr it's not my bug to fix, just wanted to do the quick fix
00:40:31peturthat buffer was never 4byte aligned was it?
00:42:10peturand I don't quite understand the BUFSIZE/sizeof(short) - pcm.len is number of ints?
00:42:42linuxstbI'm not sure. I don't think you need to declare the buffer though - pcm_submit() is only called in two place. 1) sound.c, surrounded by if(pcm.buf). and 2) emu.c, surrounded by if(options.sound)
00:43:07peturso just make it NULL?
00:43:46linuxstbYes, and make options.sound equal to 0 - in rockboy.c I think.
00:44:00 Join pixelma [0] (i=pixelma@212.204.47.129)
00:45:10linuxstbe.g. at the end of setoptions, just add #if (whatever for HWCODEC) options.sound=0
00:45:31linuxstbBut this is getting messy....
00:46:02peturpcm_submit does nothing anyway so it should be ok?

00:56:44saratogaso i'm basically just declaring too much memory in a function somewhere?
00:56:44peturyou're consuming too much stack again ;)
00:56:53peturprobably
00:57:14saratogacan i print out the stack usage on the UI sim?
00:57:21saratogathat would be very helpful for me to know
00:58:05linuxstbMaybe gdb could do it, but I don't know how.
00:58:15jas6180are you recursing like mad or have a big array that's going onto the stack or something? those are the usual ways you run into trouble, although i have no idea how big the stack is for rockbox
00:58:43markunkkurbjun: when are you going to fix it?

01:23:31 Quit peppo ("quit")
01:24:06jas6180hmm
01:24:58linuxstbThere's a function to do it as well - plugin_get_buffer() (I think)
01:25:15jas6180oh cool, i'll look around for that
01:25:43linuxstbThat will return a pointer to the remaining buffer space, and tell you how big it is
01:27:17linuxstbsaratoga: For a test plugin like your's it doesn't matter. The stack is separate to the main plugin buffer.
01:27:46jas6180for a real plugin is there any problem with using up all the space available?
01:27:50linuxstbBut it would be bad for a real plugin, as it is very likely to break in the future.
01:28:52jas6180oh, yeah that's fine

02:29:48 Quit hcs ("Leaving.")
02:32:35mud-rockboxoh calculator's square root seems fine, i'll go see what it's doing and copy
02:35:26mud-rockboxwoh, what...i thought floating point didn't work?
02:38:07linuxstbIt works, but very slowly.
02:38:32linuxstbSo it's fine in something like calculator where you're only perfoming one computation. But don't use it if you're doing many.
02:39:48mud-rockboxohh, i see. haha i thought it just didn't work at all, i was very confused to see it in calc...okay, that actually saves me a lot of trouble
02:41:40linuxstbIf you're working on something you hope to get added to Rockbox SVN, you'll be encouraged to avoid floats wherever possible though.
02:43:59mud-rockboxyeah, it's definitely not heavy usage, basically just storing a couple of them and addition probably twice per plugin run

03:58:36mud-rockboxthis isn't directly a rockbox question, but is it known how to disable the sansa e200 OF's "Refresh Database" thing? it's unbelivably annoying
03:59:55Lloreanmud-rockbox: If you're using an up to date bootloader, it should be disabled for Rockbox's use of the USB mode for most Sansa firmware versions.
04:00
04:00:02LloreanThough I think the newest one or two may not have it disabled.
04:00:15mud-rockboxoh, i'll try updating my bootloader
04:00:56 Quit miepchen^schlaf (Read error: 110 (Connection timed out))

04:01:48 Quit maffe (Remote closed the connection)

04:04:55JdGordoni dunno, I've tried downrading mine to a known OF but i still get the rebuild and cant find any changes bits...
04:05:21LloreanAre you sure you downgraded?
04:05:45LloreanIt may not have actually loaded the older firmware
04:07:23JdGordonyep, its really got the older version on
04:08:05JdGordononce we can boot rockbox off the mSD card it wont make any difference anyway, updating rb is about the only time i connect to usb

04:09:45andrew__I had did that before someone posted the 1.03 filenames

04:10:03LloreanI meant more that it's just not obvious

04:11:16andrewg867yeah

04:11:53mud-rockboxhmm, is api->lcd_update() really expensive?
04:12:06mud-rockboxlike, does it take a real world noticable amount of time?
04:12:12andrewg867JdGordon: no promises, I just did that because it was my only option between returning it to the store if I corrupted it
04:13:25andrewg867you can run an older firmware with a newer bootloader, I'm pretty sure
04:13:29linuxstbmud-rockbox: That depends on which device you're using.

04:24:32JdGordoncheers
04:24:41andrewg867oh and does anyone notice random de-syncs of the audio DAC's I2S bus (I assume) when skipping throughs songs fast on the sansa?
04:25:21andrewg867it happens to me randomly when I got through files fast without waiting a couple seconds for the song to start playing
04:25:28andrewg867*go through
04:25:58mud-rockboxhmm, i haven't noticed it on mine
04:26:16andrewg867I have crossfading enabled which might be partly to blame
04:26:21saratogaflash access used to be pretty slow on the sansa
04:26:31saratogathat might be an issue still if you're forcing it to acess the disk while playing
04:27:43andrewg867it sounds as if the I2S bus becomes de-synced because it is a loud white noise sound like an FM radio untuned
04:27:51saratogaoh wow
04:27:59andrewg867if it happens again I will record it
04:28:14andrewg867I will try to make it happen right now ;)
04:28:49mud-rockboxthat sounds pretty scary, that hasn't happened for me, i just tried to jam on skip track for a bit and it seems fine
04:29:21andrewg867It doesn't happen very often though
04:29:26saratogaif you can reproduce it, I suggest letting Austrian Coder know
04:29:52andrewg867and wtf was that
04:30:00andrewg867that was really weird
04:30:10andrewg867you know that screen white -> purple bug
04:30:22andrewg867it just happened before the main screen on the real firmware...
04:31:02andrewg867it was the bootloader logo, white, black (firmware loading) then fade to purpleish then the main screen came up
04:31:04Lloreanandrewg867: Are you using the last bootloader from the sansapatcher.exe, or an SVN current one?
04:31:22andrewg867I used one fro a month or so back
04:31:39LloreanDid you compile it yourself, or is it the one from sansapatcher.exe?
04:31:44andrewg867I have the newest rockbox though, I can update it right now since it needs to be charged
04:32:01andrewg867I'm pretty sure it was from sansapatcher.exe
04:32:09andrewg867which one do you recommend?
04:32:13LloreanTry compiling one yourself and using sansapatcher to -a it.
04:32:40andrewg867time to start the development VM :)
04:33:38LloreanThere were changes to fix the screen purpling thingy, but since they have to do with hardware init, I suspect a new bootloader would be relevant to them.
04:35:25andrewg867compiled, is sansapatcher.exe on download.rockbox.org?
04:35:48LloreanYeah

04:35:56LloreanAll you need to compile is the bootloader file

04:36:32andrewg867Llorean: how so?
04:37:12LloreanBecause the original firmware is stored in the firmware partition, and if you use recovery mode on a Rockbox mi4 file (bootloader or Rockbox itself) it'll overwrite it?
04:37:19andrewg867I always did it just by copying over the compiled mi4 to the root and rebooting, it installs the new "firmware" (rb bootloader) and it works as usual
04:37:37andrewg867I have the original firmware in \SYSTEM\OF.bin?
04:37:44LloreanYou told me you used sansapatcher...
04:38:08andrewg867at one point but that was early on before it copied and booted the firmware from the 20mb partition?

04:39:20LloreanIt might still have that function.
04:41:15andrewg867hrm it says I have the old bootloader
04:43:05andrewg867I wonder what chipset the Sandisk Sansa Connect has
04:44:25mud-rockboxyeah i looked at one of those in the store, they looked pretty nice actually
04:45:49andrewg867and according to the sandisk site the regular sansa's are cheaper than the R models
04:46:31mud-rockboxhmm, not in fry's when i got mine, but that doesn't necessarily mean much
04:47:13andrewg867the wiki should be updated, recording the FM radio in RB works fine for me (even directly encoding to mp3 :) )
04:48:16andrewg867I still can't seem to find the page on the sandisk site with the 1.03 firmware on it :/
04:49:33mud-rockboxoh good, i'm overflowing the stack
04:50:15Lloreanandrewg867: The 1.03 was the beta, right?

06:44:44mud-rockboxwhat exactly do you mean?
06:45:30safetydanI haven't really used themes much, but as I understand it, most should just be unzipped on to your iPod to install.
06:46:07h4ngedm4nwell originally, on the x5 it dims after say 10 seconds then shuts off display later, but i cant find any dimming configuration under rockbox
06:46:28konamjust unzip them to the ipod, i don't have to copy it to the themes folder or anything else?
06:46:34konamsafetydan well
06:46:57mud-rockboxthere's the backlight configuration, is that what you're looking for?
06:47:25h4ngedm4nyeah for having an intermediate dimming mode
06:48:07konammud-rockbox there are several files that i think i must put them in different directories in the ipod-rockbox tree

06:48:56mud-rockboxto the root directory of it that is
06:49:25safetydankonam, it will depend on the structure of the files in the .zip. If it is already laid out correctly, then yes it's just an unzip. If they're not correct, then you'll have to do it by hand.
06:49:33jurrieall properly packaged themes should be unzipped to your DAP's root (/).... all files included in the .zip files should go into /.rockbox
06:50:13jurriejust "unzip -l <mytheme.zip>" to see if they follow the conventions
06:52:05safetydanh4ngedm4n: I don't believe there's a dimming option for Rockbox for x5. You can control how long the back light stays on, and how quickly it fades in/out, but that's about it.
06:52:20konamok, done it
06:52:44konamis just unpacked and 'let it' reemplace the former folders

06:53:11safetydanh4ngedm4n: it's under the LCD settings somewhere
06:53:12konamnow looks pretty good! thanks
06:54:00safetydanh4ngedm4n: odd, I have Backlight Fade In and Backlight Fade Out as settings on my h120 (which is the same CPU as the x5). Maybe no one has fading working on the x5 lcd...
06:54:45mud-rockboxyeah, those settings don't exist on e200 either, although that's not surprising since it's a newish port
06:55:12h4ngedm4nyeah probably not. i see Backlight, Backlight (While Plugged In), Backlight (On Hold Key), Caption Backlight, First Keypress Enables Backlight Only, Sleep (After Backlight Off), some others
06:55:34safetydanYup, just checked the source. Looks like backlight fading isn't available for the x5.

07:06:32pirokoI think sound-juicer uses an encoder from gst-plugins

07:43:33konammen, this firmware seems pretty good
07:43:41konami want to know something
07:44:05konamthe battery life is shorter with this firmware or with the original one?
07:44:16scorchethat depends on your device
07:44:18mud-rockboxit depends on the player
07:44:34konammine is an ipod nano 1st gen
07:44:39scorchethen yes it does
07:44:55konamin the system info says 9hrs left, that's pretty good for me
07:45:07scorchethe estimate is wrong
07:45:15Kostonthis is probably FAQ, but still. what's the problem with iPod nano (1st gen) getting weird memory error with any recent build?
07:45:17mud-rockboxin my experience, those estimates are more like wild guesses

07:45:41scorcheKoston: are you using the latest bootloader?
07:45:52 Quit HellDragon (Nick collision from services.)
07:45:59Kostonscorche, ...probably not.
07:46:09mud-rockboxkonam: the real time left is a number basically not related to rockbox's estimate
07:46:28scorchewell, update to the latest bootloader and build, and then come back

07:46:53Kostonschorche, ack, thanks.
07:47:05HellDragonschorche.
07:47:11konammud-rockbox so then, what is the stimate for, the devs didn't knew what they were doing?
07:47:48Lloreankonam: The estimate is code that works on other players, but is mostly useless because there's not proper calibration data programmed in for all the iPods yet.
07:47:51scorchekonam: it was a remnant from other devices that wasnt disabled or adapted to the ipod's particular battery, basically
07:47:51mud-rockboxkonam: welcome to the world of volunteers working on software that isn't released
07:48:04Lloreankonam: You're more than welcome to calibrate it and submit a patch.
07:48:48konamthat question was a 'sarcasm' it seems that i have to practice more
07:48:51konam:)
07:49:01konamdon't get mad at me, sorry
07:49:09scorcheno one got mad
07:49:27konambut the the battery life is more than the stimate?
07:49:32scorcheit depends
07:49:35scorchetypically less
07:49:48LloreanExpect somewhere between 1/2 and 2/3 of what you get in the original firmware.
07:49:54LloreanA lot depends on your use habits, and your settings
07:50:23konamdamn it
07:50:33konamwell, i will have to test it myself
07:50:56scorchemake sure and test the OF under similar conditions as well ;)
07:51:55konamwell, the OF is tested with my own experience and every single day that i use it
07:52:08konami will use the ipod in the same way
07:52:25pirokoh4ngedm4n: How did you get cdevour to recognize your cd drive?
07:52:30ComputinChuckdo you guys have any use for the benchmark data collected with the plugin?
07:52:31konambut it will be hard to leave this firmware, i like it
07:52:35amiconnBagder: ping...
07:52:40ComputinChuckthe battery benchmark data that is
07:53:03konamLlorean where do you get those numbers?
07:53:18Lloreankonam: What numbers? The 1/2 to 2/3?
07:53:22konamyeah
07:53:37LloreanI listen a lot, and people talk a lot, and I put together a rough, rough estimate.
07:53:37konami could come back here with my results

11:20:55cropHello. IIUC, the RB port for zune isn't going to come any time soon because the hardware is protected against custom firmware. Is this the new trend? I.e. do other manufacturers do the same? If yes then RB is (pity!) a dead end.
11:21:30B4gderit's not new, they all do this
11:21:34JdGordonnice and optimistic of you crop :)
11:21:51B4gdereven the very first rockbox port was for a target trying to prevent it
11:22:02B4gderthe new here is that they are better at it
11:22:02cropB4gder: but now they do it right!
11:22:41cropJdGordon: I just try to be realistic. You know: a pessimist is a well informed optimist :-)
11:23:02B4gderand I don't think it is a dead end
11:23:07cropHow do you (RB devs) see it?
11:23:10B4gderit just takes more effort to some targets
11:24:57cropB4gder: but if they use the right algorithms and implement it properly there is little chance to crack it. Since intractability of the algorithms has been checked and almost proven.
11:25:31B4gderI agree, it can in fact be made almost impossible. But...
11:25:50B4gderthere are buffer overflows, possibly chip replacements, possible flaws in the algo implementations etc
11:26:54scorcheeven so, there are plenty of older unported targets and 6 years after the AJBR came out, they are still available on ebay
11:27:12 Quit desowin ("use linux")
11:27:22B4gderindeed, and not all new targets do these strong protections either
11:29:10B4gdertime to eat
11:29:12cropB4gder: that's the question. If the protection becomes part of the SDK then...
11:30:32cropscorche: what is AJBR?
11:30:35scorchecrop: even if the unlikely possibility of all new targets being impossible to "crack" comes true, see my earlier statement
11:30:42scorchearchos jukebox recorder
11:31:16peturalso consider the possibility of having an open source player (hardware)...
11:31:38cropscorche: yes, but it's still a dying population. I'm not trying to put things down, I just want to understand what to be prepared for.

11:38:56B4gderI was
11:39:17scorchecrop: there are plenty of open hardware designs out....it is expanding as well, just as open source is
11:39:30scorchereally, this is a useless discussion imo..
11:39:50markunscorche: why?
11:40:08peturwe also need more companies that ask us to port rb to their players. Whate ever happened to that one guy in the forum?
11:40:17*markun isn't even sure which discussion is going on
11:40:59B4gdersomeone mentioned AMS' chip to Neuros since they said they wanted rockbox for it
11:41:18B4gderbut that's not openly documented either
11:41:24scorchemarkun: basically, he wants to know what to "prepare himself for"....in otherwords he thinks (or came in thinking) that because of the zune and companies getting better at keeping us out, rockbox is approaching a dead end
11:41:55peturdidn't austriancoder get info on a player from AMS?
11:42:19B4gderpetur: but that doesn't differ much from how Neuros get info about the DM320 from TI
11:42:20cropscorche: yes, that was my reasoning. But I'll be glad to be proven wrong
11:42:53scorchecrop: well, we just gave you a multitude of explanations why you are wrong...
11:43:18crop..and hence now I'm happy :-)
11:43:18*petur remembers the forum post... http://forums.rockbox.org/index.php?topic=3978.0

12:41:15markunquite interesting discussion about who owns a open source project
12:42:52LloreanI don't like the "they rename forks because we expect it of them."
12:43:03LloreanThey aren't *required* to rename forks.
12:43:10markunLlorean: and which 'we' ...
12:43:14LloreanIt's just a matter of politeness.
12:43:36B4gderno, forks are not required to rename
12:43:50B4gderand it would even be gpl incompatible to require so
12:44:14B4gderthis is more of a traditional flame war where no side has the absolute right
12:44:42B4gderuntil they registered the trademark of course
12:44:47B4gderwhich makes it a trademark issue
12:44:50LloreanYup
12:45:15LloreanThe fact that he tried to remove the code from CVS though, could also fall under copyright issue since he tried to remove their ability to uphold their GPL obligations.
12:45:44B4gderwell, I would guess he has another view on what and why he did

12:46:28B4gderwell, technically of course cutting off the server access is a pretty major "delete" ;-)

12:49:15linuxstbHas anyone ever looked into registering the Rockbox trademark? I assume it would be expensive to do it worldwide?
12:49:38LloreanIt's assigned in some countries already, I believe.
12:49:42Zagorlinuxstb: not only that, but we'd have to bully everyone to stop using it
12:49:58LloreanYou can't hold a trademark and not enforce it, you lose it. So yeah, it'd become a hassle to keep.
12:49:58B4gderit'd probably be a fairly major undertaking
12:50:32LloreanThough given the -box suffix, I suspect there's plenty of "more ego-stroking" names should anyone choose to do a real fork.

12:53:17Zagorlinuxstb: yeah, but that's a difficult thing to do. if we hold the trademark and don't defend it always, we are not allowed to start defending it some time in the future.
12:55:08Zagorjust witness the "fun" problems mozilla are getting themselves into with the firefox and thunderbird trademarks. debian is not allowed to distribute them...
12:55:22GodEateris that like saying we're happy to change our name if someone *does* register the trademark and then comes after us ?
12:55:42ZagorGodEater: no, trademark doesn't work like that.
12:56:00Zagorwe have a widely used and established mark. it can't be simply hijacked.
12:56:03B4gderisn't the theory that Rockbox already is a trademark, just not registered
12:56:10ZagorB4gder: exactly
12:56:26linuxstbSo what difference does registering it make/
12:56:27linuxstb?
12:56:29scorchefirefox:iceweasel::rockbox:stonecrate?
12:56:46Zagorlinuxstb: it's expensive and doesn't help us much
12:57:10markunscorche: I like stonecrate ;)
12:57:18linuxstbscorche: Or shitbag...
12:57:21B4gderregistering makes it easier to go after others I guess
12:57:45markunlinuxstb: that would spoil the whole surprise :)
12:57:53scorchelinuxstb: now now...dont get testy =)
12:58:23B4gdermy fork will be named roxbox
12:58:37GodEatercalling ourselves "shitbag" does have the advantage that I suspect no-one else is ever likely to want to use it ;)
12:58:50ZagorB4gder: but we can only go after others if we do that from the start. and I sure don't want to start hassling people who are distributing their own builds that they can't say it's rockbox
12:59:13B4gderwell, you can have a policy and accept certain uses
12:59:22Zagortrue
12:59:24B4gderit's just that policy you need to enforce
12:59:39scorcheso who has claim over Orpheus? =P
12:59:44linuxstbBut would we want to? How far from SVN can an unofficial build be and still be called Rockbox?
12:59:47Lloreanscorche: Sennheiser? :-P
13:00
13:00:06B4gderlinuxstb: obviously apache, firefox, subversion etc all have such policies
13:00:35B4gderbut I wouldn't want to do it
13:00:35GodEateruntil I read that article, I had no idea WebSphere was a fork from apache - certainly doesn't resemble it much these days
13:00:36ZagorI need to read up more about this
13:00:42LloreanOn a topic semi-related to forks, stemming from the discussion about WPS gallery at DCW...
13:00:48markunGodEater: same here
13:01:11scorcheLlorean: what about it?...i was planning on mailing redbreva tomorrow
13:01:39LloreanHow would people feel if I added a statement saying that unsupported builds with threads in our forums should contain only non-rejected patches from the tracker, so it's more clear that they're about advancing Rockbox itself?
13:02:01scorcheah...that
13:02:32B4gderLlorean: I'm not sure that is a very good idea
13:02:36safetydan_GodEater: that sounds wrong somehow. AFAIK WebSphere is written in Java and Apache in C... unless they're talking about tomcat.
13:02:56linuxstbLlorean: I'm not sure that makes sense - patches can be rejected but still useful. Most of the long-term patches (scroll margins etc) are technically rejected.
13:03:06GodEatersafetydan: you know, you're right - I hadn't considered that
13:03:09B4gder1) it makes custom builds that include a patch that suddenly gets rejecected suddenly become "illegal" to discuss
13:03:20Lloreanlinuxstb: I was thinking more about the pies julius patches that were never submitted, for example.
13:03:21GodEaterhe must mean tomcat
13:03:32B4gder2) rejected patches can be brought back to life
13:04:13LloreanWhat I wanted to do was discourage the people who never submit their patches to the tracker at all.
13:04:29B4gderright, that's rather... unfriendly
13:04:33LloreanI know.
13:04:36linuxstbLlorean: I don't see the purpose of unofficial builds as "advancing Rockbox". I see them as fulfilling a desire by users to have features which we don't want in SVN, or have not yet been implemented well enough for SVN.
13:04:47scorcheLlorean: i would just say patches that arent int he tracker.....not use the word rejected
13:04:59safetydan_Llorean: I'd almost see that as their loss. If they don't submit it they have to maintain their fork.
13:05:41 Quit crop ("CGI:IRC")
13:05:42GodEateryeah, I don't see the issue - we already don't support them
13:05:44daurnhi all
13:05:55LloreanGodEater: The thing is, we do to an extent.
13:06:06ZagorI would prefer we take the moral high ground and encourage patch submission but don't limit discussion
13:06:13LloreanDue to people not mentioning they're using them, or other people asking why their WPS doesn't look right.
13:06:40LloreanZagor: I'm fine with that.
13:06:41Zagorthen again I'm not in the forum much, so I'm unaware how much trouble this is causing
13:06:43GodEaterLlorean: I don't consider telling someone "that feature only works in X's build" supporting them
13:07:06LloreanGodEater: I meant support as in "the threads that go for 2 pages before it's revealed they're using an unofficial build"
13:07:28GodEaterLlorean: oh - I guess I've not seen too many of those
13:07:55GodEaterLlorean: but I don't see how changing the policy of *which* patches go in helps that much :)
13:07:59linuxstbThe only problem I have with the unofficial builds is that they confuse new users. What other software has so many slightly different versions available?
13:08:14B4gderlinux
13:08:14Zagorlinuxstb: linux :-)
13:08:24linuxstbZagor: That proves my point ;)
13:08:27LloreanGodEater: I just kinda feel that having a forum section specifically for them is *kinda* an endorsement, in an odd sorta way.
13:08:57LloreanAnd it's next to impossible to maintain a list of what goes into or out of them, or check that they're GPL.
13:10:05safetydan_Llorean: I'd rather see them discussed somewhere central rather than having to chase dozens of different forums though
13:10:36B4gderwell, they are rather discussed elsewhere afaik
13:10:45LloreanThey're very discussed elsewhere.
13:10:45B4gderthe ones we host are only a rare few
13:10:46ZagorI agree with safetydan. the separate forum is to keep the unsupported threads concetrated instead of polluting "official" secions
13:10:59Zagorthe purpose of*
13:11:16LloreanI believe a couple of the threads in our forums are little more than links to threads in other forums for those builds.
13:11:47GodEaterwonder what they don't like about our forums that they feel they should do that
13:11:56GodEaterthere's not many forum features missing imho
13:11:57B4gderthe sansa guys at anythingbutipod have I believe 4 or 5 different builds and discussions
13:12:22B4gderGodEater: I think it is just a matter of them considering themselves "at home" in the other forums
13:12:43GodEaterI guess so - they know the crowd etc.
13:12:57Zagorthat's the problem with forums in general - everybody wants their own
13:13:31B4gderyeps
13:14:58*amiconn doesn't ;)
13:15:05B4gderbut that's also the general web approach since people want to get visitors to sell ads etc

13:50:10CassandraSure. If you like.
13:50:58LinusNthe silly wxHtmlWindow widget can't use a proxy
13:51:15CassandraThat is silly.
13:51:16LinusNor can it?
13:51:33LinusNso the current rbutil.exe stalls when you start it
13:51:43CassandraWhy are you using it rather than the API that just launches your browser?
13:51:46LinusNbecause it tries to download the html manual
13:52:05markunCassandra: I would have to check the commit logs to see which codecs were first
13:52:18LinusNi don't know why rbutil does that, i just tried rbutil and the stalling annoyed me
13:52:20Cassandramarkun: don't worry it's not important.
13:52:27LinusNso i started looking in the code
13:52:33linuxstbCassandra: Checking "svn log" in apps/codecs shows the order was libmad, liba52, libFLAC then Tremor, then wavpack

13:55:49Luca84I wanted to ask a simple question, though... is it possible to write plugins for rockbox in C++?
13:56:02dionoeano. C only.
13:56:04markunB4gder: he copied most of that info from that cvs guy I think :)
13:56:21linuxstbLuca84: In theory I'm sure you can, but there is no infrastructure in the build system for it.
13:56:33B4gdermarkun: :-)
13:57:17dionoealinuxstb: wouldn't that need stuff like dynamic memory allocation too ?
13:57:34Luca84isn't malloc available in rockbox?
13:57:37B4gderyeps, c++ kind of implies that
13:57:54scorcheLuca84: no...we statically allocate things here
13:58:10CassandraLinusN, in answer to your question. I think we discussed this at Devcon. The manual doesn't belong in rbutil, and I'll remove the browser the moment I get some round tuits.
13:58:10dionoeaLuca84: it isn't. (except for a few plugins which have their own simple implementation)
13:58:42Luca84oh! uhm... well, that kinda defeats the point heh :)
13:58:54scorcheCassandra: well, have you see our (DCW's) summary about RButil?
13:58:55B4gderdefeats what point?
13:59:02Luca84of using C++, that is
13:59:04LloreanCassandra: Is it going to be replaced with just having RBUtil launch the browser to the manual?
13:59:22CassandraLlorean, yes.
13:59:22B4gderLuca84: well, C++ is just C with some extra goo on it, just cut off the goo and use C ;-)

14:01:45CassandraLlorean, sorry. Shorthand. The aim is to keep rbutil as lightweight as possible. If a web browser will do a better job of something, then we'll keep that in the web browser.
14:01:45Luca84well, I'll do a little bit of research :) I was planning a simple calendar-like plugin
14:01:46LloreanB4gder: The goo's a lot harder to cut off if you started with C++, it can be hard to see where it ends. ;)
14:01:54LloreanGodEater: I did. So, 17?
14:02:00B4gderI guess so
14:02:10CassandraBut links to appropriate info are still appropriate.
14:02:12B4gderI never got friends with C++ so for me the goo is all big and red
14:02:20Luca84sorry, lunchtime here... see you soon guys! :)
14:02:29GodEaterthe problem with the goo in C++ is it kept changing for ages
14:02:31LloreanCassandra: That's kinda what we felt. It should do everything that's required for Rockbox to be usable (including video conversion) but where possible act as a front end to something else.
14:02:32Luca84and greetings from Italy!

14:03:09CassandraNo.
14:03:32CassandraThe furthest I'd go is possibly database generation for the slower platforms.
14:04:07LloreanWe felt that since we mandate a specific video format, and a specific font format, etc, a "known good" method of creating them could be provided.
14:04:09pixelmaLlorean: the wps tag gives you 19 possibilities in the enum (18 different codecs, including mp1, mp2 - and 1 "unknown")

14:04:41GodEaterwhat you putting together Cassandra ?
14:04:42markunI imported the source
14:04:51markunand dave made a codec out of it
14:05:03CassandraJust some answers for someone writing a PhD on Ogg Vorbis.
14:05:04Lloreanpixelma: Does it include Well, if we add MP1 and MP2 to what I listed, that's 19 without "Unknown." Did I add one too many somewhere?
14:05:06CassandraNothing exciting.
14:05:18LloreanErr, ignore the first 3 words.
14:05:34*Cassandra decides to go with "over 15".
14:05:45markunCassandra: I wonder if it's the same thing I answererd :)

14:34:23LloreanThe general feel was that if a special tool was *necessary* to use a feature, RBUtil should either provide that tool (compiled in bdfcon) or front end for it (for example, via ffmpeg)
14:35:52amiconnHmm, strange
14:36:18amiconnI usually prefer separate tools.
14:36:30LloreanRBUtil is already quite the opposite of separate tools though
14:36:34amiconnBut we should probably provide those tools in binary form
14:36:45scorcheamiconn: well, we were pretty much saying that if xxx was to be included, we would like it doen xxx way
14:37:34LloreanI mean, we have a separate fwpatcher (or equivalent) for most targets, and installing the build is as simple as unzipping. Meanwhile RBUtil already handles "extras" like Doom and Themes
14:37:54LloreanSo that could be extended to Fonts (since the tools are in SVN already, or at least one of them is), and Videos (only serving as a front end to encoder of choice)
14:38:24scorchebasically, everything to get your files ready for rockbox
14:38:44LloreanWell, when changes are mandatory to use those files.
14:38:50scorcheaye
14:39:33LloreanBut it was more or less a "we wouldn't object if someone wanted to do that with it, we WOULD object if it tried to become a music management tool, or really go beyond anything that's strictly Rockbox focused"

14:42:06LloreanI think if themes are installation, then to an extent, fonts (and then font conversion) could be too.
14:43:00LloreanI think mpegplayer conversion doesn't qualify as installation, but having one "known good" conversion method does make it easier to support, and easier for the end user to use.
14:43:14CassandraIt can be different things to different people, certainly.
14:43:20amiconnI am in no way against a known good method

14:43:34Lloreanamiconn: I personally wouldn't object to a stand alone "known good" video converter.
14:43:37amiconnBut imho it doesn't belong into rbutil
14:43:57LloreanBut we were thinking that RBUtil could simply call the converter, rather than including it.
14:44:17CassandraI suppose my question would be "if the standalone tool is available, what's the harm in putting a front end for it in rbutil?"
14:44:32LloreanCassandra: What's the harm, or what's the benefit?

14:46:56CassandraI have some thoughts on how to fix this.
14:47:13scorchedaurn: search the wiki
14:47:16LloreanCassandra: Remove it?
14:47:25CassandraThey may also be suitable for dealing with bloat - we may be able to arrange for transcoders etc. to be downloaded on demand.
14:47:36CassandraLlorean: Nope. Simple packaging.
14:47:52CassandraMost of the infrastructure to support it is already avaialble within rbutil.
14:48:36daurnscorche: nothing
14:48:48CassandraAnd frankly I have less problem with it among several optional extras.
14:48:58Lloreandaurn: There's a "thread" on the forums, that just says basically "It'd be really neat if there was a port for it"
14:49:05daurnLlorean: i saw
14:49:14daurnand only one response - from markun
14:49:26LloreanCassandra: Ah, just prominence of positioning? An "extras" page in the installer?
14:50:48markundaurn: didn't we find a website with a 'naked' s10?
14:51:11markunshowing a samsung ARM (surprise surprise)
14:51:32daurnmarkun: i remember you saying something about samsung in it
14:51:35daurnno picture...
14:51:59markunI didn't find a picture. Let me google again.
14:52:29JdGordonanyone know how to use vlc here?

14:56:06markunah, oops, the question was for daurn ;)
14:56:14JdGordonthought so :)
14:57:30brandoncan i use ipodpatcher.exe to upload files to my ipod since windows says my drive needs to be formattted. also i used itunes 7 to restore but after it finishes restoring it asks me to resotre again and a again... so yeah..
14:58:06 Quit desowin (Read error: 113 (No route to host))

14:59:30daurnwell, I just read some reviews
14:59:35daurnand the UI isn't that good
14:59:45daurnbut, the player I think could be something awesome
15:00
15:00:03linuxstbbrandon: No, ipodpatcher just modifies the firmware partition on your ipod, not the main firmware that stores your files.
15:00:53linuxstb^I mean the main partition...
15:01:08brandonokay, is there sonething i can do... i tried to format the fat32 partition so that windows would recognize it but i have problems keeping the formware intact or the format is unsuccesful.
15:02:03brandoni used ipodpatcher.exe to upload rockbox.ipod and it worked using "ipodpatcher.exe -wf rockbox.ipod" in cmd
15:02:40GodEaterbrandon: which document did you follow which told you to do that ?
15:03:08brandonnone...
15:03:19LloreanIt's not simply updloading a file, either, you're writing it into the firmware partition instead of having the apple firmware there.
15:03:23 Join Febs [0] (n=chatzill@38.98.196.75)
15:03:36LloreanAnd it still doesn't touch the 'data' partition where you keep music
15:03:38GodEaterbrandon: did you not want the apple firmware at all anymore then ?
15:03:40brandoni tried following the directions but i cant upload files to my ipod without formatting it as a usb flash drive
15:04:02brandoni dont really care for it @ GodEater which ever way makes it work
15:04:46GodEaterbrandon: I only ask as most people only write the bootloader with ipodpatcher - you've written the rockbox firmware straight into the apple firmware partition doing that
15:05:09Lloreanbrandon: If after restoring with iTunes your iPod still says it needs restored, that's something you need to contact Apple about
15:05:16 Quit Thundercloud_ (Remote closed the connection)
15:05:18brandonyeah, i know. i actually read the documentation for ipodpatcher
15:06:00GodEaterwell as Llorean says, if after you've used iTunes to restore it it's still not working, then you need to take it to Apple
15:06:22brandonalrighty then

15:09:10B4gdernice overview indeed
15:09:28daurnmarkun: do you happen to know what lang is what?
15:09:53GodEaterLlorean: even though it makes updating slightly more onerous ?
15:09:58markundaurn: what lang is what?
15:09:58daurnthere is: kor (korean); jap (japanese); est (???) and lat (????)
15:10:10daurnmarkun: on that iriver firmware page
15:10:11markunestonian latvian?
15:10:24daurnso.... which is english?
15:10:27GodEaterthat would be my guess
15:10:31Zagorneither
15:10:33GodEaterdaurn: none of the above :)
15:10:49LloreanGodEater: So I type "unzip rockbox.zip -d /media/gigabeat&&ipodpatcher -wf /media/gigabeat/.rockbox/rockbox.ipod"
15:11:01LloreanOr better yet make a small command to do it for me. :-P
15:11:07GodEaterhahaha - to your gigabeat mount ;)
15:11:08GodEaternice
15:11:14LloreanOr ipod rather
15:11:18LloreanI've been using my gigabeat so often
15:11:20GodEaterI suspected you meant that
15:11:20markundaurn: I've read it somewhere. Let me google a bit.
15:11:39LloreanBut yeah, if I'm typing anyway, a couple dozen extra characters is nothing.
15:11:57GodEaterI assume you still use the OF for disk access then, rather than disk mode ?

15:12:31daurnI guessed the url

15:12:33linuxstbmarkun: Nice link - no blackfin DAPs listed though...
15:12:37daurnthere is a file there :P
15:12:38*GodEater hasn't noticed a real performance difference between the two
15:12:43LloreanGodEater: Do you have a Nano?
15:12:46GodEaternope
15:12:49markundaurn: :)
15:12:50GodEaterwhich I why I suspect ;)
15:12:53LloreanYeah
15:13:06GodEaterso roll on usb support
15:13:09B4gderit amazes me people do so much work and post it... in a FORUM
15:13:11LloreanJust extracting a fullzip to it gives me enough time to prepare and eat lunch under windows.
15:13:14markunlinuxstb: would probably have been a very short list
15:13:29GodEaterLlorean: wow - that's slower than I imagined
15:13:43markunlinuxstb: maybe something to copy in a wiki page
15:13:57LloreanGodEater: If I recall it could be around 7 and a half minutes for a full zip with fonts.
15:14:00GodEaterit's completely academic of course, but I wonder if disk mode on the 2nd Gen Nano is that bad?
15:14:01markunand link to the variour pages (which are now sometimes orphans probably)
15:14:07daurnok
15:14:17daurnI have NO idea how to read/decode that firmwarew
15:14:25GodEaterLlorean: you eat lunch fast :)
15:14:33LloreanB4gder: I don't think I'll ever understand the desire to document things in the forum. I think it's the positive feedback of "writing a post so good it got stickied"
15:14:44LloreanGodEater: A sandwich and a glass of juice, often.
15:14:47markundaurn: the older firmwares can be decoder with the ifp decrypter, but I don't think that works on the S10 one
15:14:47B4gderdaurn: one could start trying out the existing iriver hex encodings, or variations of them
15:14:53GodEaterdoes twiki have a page rank system ?
15:15:03linuxstbmarkun: Yes, I've been thinking about such a wiki page for a while. Along with comments about what is known about running third-party code.
15:15:30B4gdermi4code can also decrypt the iriver h10 hex format
15:15:54linuxstbHas anyone else here looked at the Telechips firmwares ? They all seem to be unencrypted, but have some kind of checksum or signature in the header.
15:16:18B4gderI'm not aware of any real telechip effort
15:16:19markunB4gder: but the h10 is portalplayer based, I don't think they used it for the samsung players (but we could try)
15:16:21linuxstb(there are two 32-bit numbers in the header which seem to vary in every different firmware)
15:16:29***Saving seen data "./dancer.seen"
15:16:52B4gdermarkun: I know, I was just thinking that if you get all the iriver hex decrypters and compare then you have some input to try on the new hex encodings
15:17:52markundaurn: I see that I already tried to decrypt the S10 firmware with the ifp decrypter, but that didn't work
15:20:01markundaurn: wait, it did work..

15:22:12B4gderthat's the decoded version?

15:23:03markunB4gder: yes
15:23:11markunthe .HEX file is encrypted
15:23:30B4gderthere were so few ascii texts
15:23:45CassandraLorean: Exactly. I'm sure there are people that would find it useful. Just not many.

15:27:35markundidn't know that option
15:28:23B4gderwhat I find interesting with -eb is that b is for big-endian I believe
15:28:44B4gder-el is what I usually use to get the strings
15:29:09markunwhat do you think melon.bin could be..
15:30:12LloreanFresh fruit?
15:30:19markunkorean names can be strange, like the "lucky goldstar" company (LG)
15:30:24B4gderimpossible to guess without more research
15:31:04B4gderthey support quite a few languages
15:31:17B4gderat least they feature many language names
15:31:22markunyes, a lot
15:31:23B4gderI don't see any strings for them
15:31:30markunmaybe just very few options
15:32:43LloreanIs there any reason strings have to be "strings" rather than images, though?
15:32:53B4gderno
15:32:53GodEateronly for space reasons
15:33:25B4gdermodern firmwares tend to use images a lot
15:33:34GodEatereye candy

15:38:21linuxstbBagder's find of big-endian unicode made me think about trying -EB with objdump
15:38:30daurnMaybe iriver shall get some of my hard earned
15:38:55LloreanGodEater: You beat me to the [Bug Report] post though
15:39:02linuxstbmarkun: Can you reencrypt the S10 firmware?
15:39:15lapehi, is it possible that rockbox needs a lot more power than the default ipod 30Gb soft?
15:39:18markunlinuxstb: yes, I think so
15:39:21GodEaterLlorean: I typed less than you though :)
15:39:32linuxstbmarkun: This was my objdump command - arm-elf-objdump -EB -D -b binary -m arm S10.BIN
15:39:58markunthanks, that worked here too

15:40:46lapeok...cuz, ipod soft: 15 hours playtime, rockck box: less than 10 hours
15:41:38LloreanGodEater: At least he asked for help in the open, then only PMed you after you gave him some attention. About 20% of my received PMs have been 0-posters who want a direct route to help.
15:41:54GodEaterLlorean: I ignore those and delete them
15:41:57GodEaterI get 'em too :)
15:42:09*GodEater is a big ol' meany pants
15:42:36LloreanI figured they probably sent them to a good half dozen people who they thought might be able to help, rather than typing it once and waiting.
15:42:53GodEaterthere's an easy fix Llorean
15:42:57GodEateralter your post count ;)
15:43:17GodEatermake it about 2
15:43:30CassandraAnd change your badge to "Rockbox newb"

15:44:22JdGordonnice to see im not the only one getting them
15:44:26GodEaterI start to appreciate how Linus (Torvalds) got so bitter :)
15:44:30LloreanI'm pretty sure I didn't award myself the 'expert' badge, for the very hope that maybe new users at least would assume I'm just a forum admin, and clueless beyond taht
15:44:54LloreanThough it did spur one argument when someone told me... was it "shut up stupid admin" or something?
15:44:55LloreanHm.

15:45:08GodEaterLlorean: yep

15:45:12CassandraSome BBs certainly allow that.
15:45:15Lloreanlinuxstb: I can.
15:45:24daurnand if anyone asks, it was to prevent spam attacks ;)
15:45:28LloreanVery easily, since 0-posters are already in a separate member group
15:45:56linuxstbLife would be easy if you stopped 0-posters doing anything... ;)
15:46:07CassandraEspecially posting.
15:46:09peturincluding posting?

15:48:03LloreanOh, wait, there it is.
15:48:08CassandraNo, no. Blame DRM.
15:48:13CassandraOr solar flares.
15:48:17GodEaterit's probably Steve Jobs fault
15:48:19CassandraOr hippy flares.
15:48:25LloreanGodEater: They'll disappear in smoke when I get daring and try to upgrade to SMF 1.1
15:48:35GodEaterLlorean: yay! can't wait!
15:48:36CassandraOh, that last is covered by Steve Jobs anyway, right?
15:48:45LloreanGodEater: Were you around last time I broke them horribly?
15:48:47GodEaterI think he covers pretty much everything
15:48:56GodEaterLlorean: I don't recall. Probably not :)
15:49:44daurnfor posterity's sake, here are iriver s10 internals:

15:49:44CassandraHave you tried lubricating them with jam.
15:49:44CassandraI find that usually helps.
15:49:45CassandraAlso for broken MP3 players.
15:49:45LloreanGodEater: It was just a themeing thing, though. The rockbox modifications were made to one of the builtin themes, resulting in them being overwritten on update.
15:49:52GodEateroops
15:50:13LloreanI didn't know this, having not checked all the details I should've.
15:50:20GodEaterLlorean: next time of course you'll sandbox a copy of them first :)
15:51:12LloreanNext time there will be a lot of safety precautions. Though since I had to redo a lot of the changes anyway, I *think* they're done a more friendly way to updates this time
15:53:07LloreanCan anyone think of a valid reason for someone with zero posts to need to make use of the personal message function?
15:53:41GodEaternope
15:53:51peturit's forbidden in many places
15:54:22GodEaterthe only valid use I can think of is if their account appears to have got broken in some way during their signup
15:54:29GodEaterin which case, they can email someone instead
15:54:35peturiirc, on MR you have to have 10+ posts before you can PM
15:54:35GodEateror make a new account
15:54:48peturin case of troubles, they can always come here
15:54:49linuxstbOr if they register in order to contact someone else who is registered.
15:54:55GodEatertbh, I can't think of a decent use of PM on our forums at all
15:55:34linuxstbLlorean: Can you customise the error message that's displayed? Or do 0-posters never see any PM links?
15:55:43Lloreanlinuxstb: No PM links
15:56:17linuxstbI guess if someone has a valid reason, they can complain somewhere (e.g. here, the mailing lists etc)
15:56:22LloreanYeah.
15:56:29LloreanPMs are now disabled for 0 posters.
15:56:37linuxstbOr post a forum message to complain...
15:56:38GodEaterhurray
15:56:39LloreanI'll bring 'em back if there are complaints.

17:44:46markunTTSbox: yes, that's the best way to lean how to do it I think
17:44:51jhMikeSperhaps, if there's pullup resistor already on a port it wouldn't make sense to use it
17:46:42peturI assume that unknown IO pins are configured as input?
17:47:51markunpetur: no, we leave most of them as they are set by the OF bootloader
17:47:53jhMikeSI would they'd be trisstated
17:48:18markunpetur: there are still some unknowns: http://www.rockbox.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/GigabeatPortPins
17:48:19jhMikeSwould hope
17:50:22peturdoes the cpu have a setting to tri-state io pins? most I know have input/output/special funtion
17:51:29peturand setting to input activates a weak pull-up which would be the most harmless state unless the pin has to be driven low for a certain functionality
17:52:46jhMikeSI think they do

18:35:03jhMikeSI think frequency scaling is a fancier procedure than what's in set_cpu_frequency. You have to switch to slow mode and wait for relock too.

18:38:10Juice^Llorean: svn from today and bootloader is perhaps from a week ago
18:38:49LloreanJuice^: And these are both the official versions? Your build is from the rockbox page, and your bootloader from sansapatcher.exe?
18:39:00Juice^Llorean: correct

18:40:23Juice^Llorean: ok.. strange
18:40:24jhMikeSbut other frequecies will change and divers must be reset
18:40:30jhMikeSmarkun: yes
18:41:09markunjhMikeS: I guess it would be safer to go to slow mode (diabling the pll)
18:41:34jhMikeSyes, then those other clocks are based off CLKSLOW and should be glitch-free, no?
18:41:55markunI'm not sure what HCLK and PCLK are based on in that case
18:42:16 Part patrakov
18:42:32markunah yes, they are based on the slow clock

18:43:13jhMikeSI wonder if not matching the CPU perfectly to the crystal may be responsible for the occasional channel swap
18:43:59Domonoky_Llorean: do you think audioscrobbler support is too much for rbutil, or is it still in the scope ??
18:44:22 Join ComputinChuck [0] (n=nate@cpe-24-221-40-82.az.sprintbbd.net)
18:44:45LloreanDomonoky_: Does Rockbox create the log in a "standard" format, or one custom to our software?
18:44:46jhMikeSmatching the IIS to the audio codec clock rather
18:45:11jhMikeSor is that always taken from the crystal itself?
18:45:40Domonoky_Llorean: the log matches the description on the audioscrobbler website, and there are tools for this (and a lib which i would use)
18:46:14Domonoky_Llorean: so i think rockbox creates a standard log, ( only the timeless log is different, no time of course)
18:46:25*jhMikeS now remembers it is set to be from the crystal :P
18:47:19LloreanDomonoky_: I don't know how others will feel about it. Is there a standard, cross-platform stand alone utility for it? Something that RBUtil could simply call, if present, rather than incorporating the code into itself?
18:47:42markunjhMikeS: do you plan to try 400MHz sometime?
18:48:05markun(399.65)
18:48:16Domonoky_there is qtscrob which is qt and should be multiplattform..
18:48:16LloreanPart of the idea was to keep RBUtil small, where possible, so that it's not this giant bloated thing for people who only want to use it for the minimum set (install, remove, update)
18:48:34Domonoky_from the same guy as i could use the libScrobbler ..
18:48:40LloreanSo, where possible we thought it'd be best to have it call another tool, though I think the scrobbler log is probably fairly minimal?
18:49:18jhMikeSmakun: I'll try it at some point and see what happens
18:49:42Domonoky_Llorean: the problem with calling other tools which are not compiled into rockbox is depencies..
18:50:03markunjhMikeS: be careful :)
18:50:15Domonoky_Llorean: using the scrobblerlib is not much code, but you need of course a ui to support it..
18:50:38markunjhMikeS: and will you try 200MHz to see if we can save any power that way?
18:50:56markunI don't think that toffe found a difference
18:51:04SiltaarHello, is anyone potentially interested in iPod nano 2G port ?
18:51:17LloreanDomonoky_: I really don't see any reason not to incorporate it personally, I think it's for larger things (for example, video conversion)
18:51:18jhMikeSsure, why not
18:51:18markunSiltaar: sure
18:51:37markunSiltaar: did you figure something out?
18:52:13Siltaarand... whom should potentially be the more efficient in doing this ?
18:52:30jhMikeSis the code that's in SVN the scaling code that was used for the tests?
18:52:35Domonoky_Llorean: sure for video conversion you would only build an Ui and call an installed converter.. but for most litte things, i think they should be compiled in..
18:52:59SiltaarI "potentially" have a unit to provide
18:53:02Domonoky_or they could be downloaded when need, (complicated) :-)
18:53:16markunjhMikeS: yes, look at the logs, there are a few things we tried: http://svn.rockbox.org/viewvc.cgi/trunk/firmware/target/arm/s3c2440/gigabeat-fx/system-meg-fx.c?view=log&pathrev=13711
18:53:19LloreanDomonoky_: I don't think there's a clear line, but yeah, there's a line somewhere where "small" ends, I imagine the scrobbler lib is still "small" though
18:53:47markunSiltaar: I thought you were going to do it :)
18:54:25SiltaarI """potentially""" could try things
18:54:31Domonoky_Llorean: it depends how you define "small", small code ? or small binary size..
18:54:40Siltaarbut have no particular electronic skills
18:55:31LloreanDomonoky_: Well, since the UI for a front end is going to have to be included in RBUtil whether it's a front end, or the functional code is compiled in, I think "amount the binary download increases by compiling it in vs offering it as a separate download"
18:55:35Domonoky_Llorean: the problem i have with the libScrobbler is, that it needs libCurl, and i dont know if it is possible to compile it statically to rbutil.. :-)
18:56:08LloreanDomonoky_: If you have questions to ask about what you can do with libCurl, I bet there's a few Rockbox devs with some knowledge about it.
18:56:08Domonoky_Llorean: we nearly doubled binary size with the new nice buttons :-)

19:09:06Siltaarwhich means that it's better for us not to succeed ?

19:11:05Domonoky_s/choose/buy/
19:11:11amiconnSure, it would be nice to see it running there, because more targets are always good
19:11:12n1samiconn: do you think there's any point in committing a asm-optimized strlen for coldfire? (it's about 20% faster than the c version but calling the function 100000 times with a string that's 57 chars long takes only ~1 second...
19:11:42amiconnn1s: Not sure, also depends on how large it is compared to the C version
19:12:07amiconnstrlen() isn't used _that_ much, but e.g. the .lng loader uses it on every single string
19:12:46amiconnOn SH, the asm optimised version is almost 4x as fast as the C version, because it uses a special instruction gcc doesn't use
19:12:49amiconn(cmp/str)
19:13:04n1samiconn: it is very simple, just two lines of inline assembly in a c function, do you think a .S file with pure assembly is better for rockbox- svn to be consistent with the SH version?

19:46:14amiconnHmm, I have a minesweeper ui consistency question
19:46:55amiconnBoth on Iriver and Iaudio, the center button (Select) is 'discover', and a separate button (Play) is 'flag'
19:47:29amiconnHowever, on the recorder it's the opposite: center button (Play) is 'flag', and a separate button (On) is 'discover'
19:47:41mirakhi
19:47:46mirakcan rockbox play aac files ?
19:47:53mirakwith extentions .m4a
19:48:08bluebrotheryes, if they're unencrypted
19:48:19mirakI can play them on totem
19:48:25mirakit should be ok then
19:48:28amiconnI would like to swap buttons for the recorder because 'discover' is needed more often, but then the recorder button mapping is the oldest one, so the change might confuse long-term users
19:49:25Lloreanamiconn: I believe in windows minesweeper (as well as at least some others I've played), "click" is discover, and an alternate flags.
19:49:44LloreanSo it sounds to me like the Recorder key map is... I guess, unexpected.
19:50:07amiconnYes, that's what I think as well

19:58:56linuxstbmirak: Rockbox's AAC codec has one limitation - the m4a files need to be "streamable". This means that all the metadata (mainly the seektable) is at the start of the file. So if it doesn't work in Rockbox, that may be the cause.

23:21:49linuxstbmarkun: Yes, the framerate in an MPEG-1/2 video stream is limited in the standard to one of a pre-defined list. This list has been unofficially extended with some framerates below 24fps, but IIRC, there's nothing between 15fps and 24fps - which is where most of our targets fall...
23:22:42linuxstbAnd some encoders refuse to encode at the unofficial rates.

23:30:51apcfreakHey guys. Yesterday, I downloaded Rockbox, installed it correctly on my Sansa E250, and it was working great until just a minute ago. I was playing a song, and then went back to the main menu, and a it turned into a white screen with 'Data abort at 00050EE4' at the top. I cant turn it off with the menu button. Any help?

23:31:26mud-rockboxhold power for around 15 seconds and it should shut off
23:31:49apcfreakok, thanks. that worked
23:32:10mud-rockboxyeah, not sure about that error message, but that almost always lets you try again at least
23:32:28apcfreakNow it is working fine. Thanks!
23:34:48*DerPapst thinks there should be something like a BSOD for rockbox too.. on colour targets it should be an OSOD though.

23:36:25DerPapsthehe
23:36:25saratogamaybe we could make the crash screen strobe various colors
23:36:42*jhMikeS was just gonna say this is the second BOS petur didn't step in :)
23:36:50scorchehaha
23:36:53DerPapstor soe random noise like a tv with no signal :P
23:37:13scorchei should get a gdb up where we can put stuff like this that doesnt belong in goldenquotes...

23:37:53DerPapststill not sure what LBSOD is though...
23:38:03saratogalight blue screen of death?
23:38:13DerPapsterr..
23:38:25*DerPapst goes into his corner
23:38:57*scorche passed DerPapst a bag to put over his head
23:39:12DerPapstthanks
23:39:19*DerPapst puts bag on

23:39:26scorchewould you prefer a blanket, or will the bag do?
23:39:32saratogaso my current WMA troubles are that the asf parser seems to give bad data when run on targets (sim works fine though)
23:39:45saratogai'm pretty sure malloc is working, and i don't get any crashes
23:40:01saratogawhat else can i check before I dive into the ASF parser?
23:40:21saratoga(presently I have no idea how it works and was hoping to keep it that way)
23:40:48Bagdersaratoga: build a logf() build and sprinkle your code with some calls to it
23:41:00Bagderto verify data in/out being right
23:41:18saratogai was afraid you were going to suggest something to do with reading asf.c
23:41:25Bagderhaha

23:42:02*petur wonders if DerPapst checked if there was anything in the bag
23:42:10DerPapsthahaha
23:42:11saratogai guess the thing to do would be to figure out where its actually touching the disk api, and then just log all that crap on the sim and the target
23:42:12linuxstbsaratoga: #3 - throw ffpeg's asf parser away and write a new one
23:42:33saratogalinuxstb: honestly, I think I could write a new wma decoder faster then a new asf parser
23:42:55saratogathey're of comparable size, and the wma deocder actually makes some sense (and has comments!)
23:42:55linuxstbYou don't have to write it from scratch - libasf might be better.
23:45:32saratogalibasf does look interesting
23:45:39saratogathat'd be a good plan b if I don't figure this out soon
23:45:59saratogastill, i wonder what the difference is between running on x86 and arm
23:46:21linuxstbAt the very least, we need a minimal asf parser for the get_metadata() function...
23:46:22Bagderstruct padding/alignment?
23:46:27saratogai'd expect ffmpeg to be pretty platform agnostic anyway, it does run on PPC, etc
23:46:37linuxstbAnd ARM afaik
23:47:09saratogadoes arm have more restrictions on how stuff is aligned then x86?
23:47:32linuxstbYes, everything must be aligned to it's own size (1, 2 or 4 bytes)
23:48:30peturwouldn't that give data aborts?
23:48:31saratogathats certainly something to look for then
23:48:52linuxstbpetur: No, it would mean the compiler pads the structs
23:49:04linuxstbBut I would expect ffmpeg code to take account of that
23:49:13saratogaoh no
23:49:27saratogaso you mean the sizeof stuff i do on x86 might not be the same as on ARM?
23:49:40linuxstbYes ;)
23:50:09saratogawell, that gives me about 10 new places to look in the code

23:50:56saratogai'm probably allocating too little space somewhere, and since theres no MMU to watch out for this sort of thing, not realizing it when I overright my data
23:51:11linuxstbDoesn't the code check the return value of malloc?
23:51:34saratogai took out most of the mallocs and replaced then with char[]s
