00:20:20amiconnAh, the C200 lcd controller seems to be a samsung or samsung compatible...
00:22:21*amiconn found an lcd module datasheet showing almost an exact same init sequence as the C200 driver
00:22:30amiconnUnfortunately there is no command listing

00:28:21amiconnFind out what lcd controller is in there, so that we can implement things the OF doesn't do
00:28:28amiconn(like the flip mode)
00:28:47amiconnIt's definitely Samsung S6B33, and I found the datasheet :)
00:28:57Bagdernice!

00:44:35amiconnTrying to guess the controller's display capabilities from the lcd resolution and some hints from the init sequence, then google for datasheets of potentially controllers, and try to match the init sequence
00:45:12amiconnIn this case, the lcd is 132x80, and the init puts the display window at (0,26) - that's a strong hint the controller is 132x132

01:02:48Bagderit already is deleted
01:03:02Bagdernow that or those servers not deleting gets a bit annoying...

01:26:37amiconnThe C200 LCD controller is obviously either an S6B33 *variant*, or the datasheet forgot to mention a bit

01:34:39saratogawow, how long have we had an actual TI port in progress for ?
01:34:43ddaltonhow can I tell how many items are in the file borwser?
01:34:49ddaltonbrowser
01:35:27maxkelleyis sansapatcher needed for the c200?
01:36:02maxkelleyddalton: 1..2...3... :)
01:36:09ddaltonwith code?
01:36:17maxkelleyoh.
01:37:35maxkelleywill decreasing the brightness setting conserve battery life? It's unbelievable how much battery backlights waste.
01:38:33jhMikeSamiconn: I did some swp(b) checks on pp5020 and there doesn't seem to be anything wrong with it. When it "locks" afaik it's not really locked. FIQ will continue to operate until the buffer empties out. Something else is amiss. Some errors that can come up with disk access like not being able to read resume info after setting the clock to 80MHz give me pause.
01:40:40peturmaxkelley: I think you answered your own question
01:40:45maxkelleyare we able to control the c200's button backlight? it's always on, wasting battery.
01:41:20maxkelleypetur: I was wondering if the brightness setting altered the brightness of the backlight or the screen.
01:41:23pixelmanot yet but on the e200 they do - I hope for it too
01:41:50maxkelleylike allow more light though or less light, while still having the backlight at the same brightness.
01:42:29linuxstbmaxkelley: sansapatcher isn't strictly needed, but it's the recommended way to install (because it keeps the OF in the firmware partition, rather than requiring it as a file on the FAT partition).
01:42:47maxkelleyah, ok.
01:43:27pixelmamaxkelley: I read the logs a bit - in now yesterday's I read theat Zagor was trying some things with the buttonlight on the c200
01:43:49maxkelleyis it just a matter of finding which gpio port?
01:44:12ddaltonanyone here familiar with the file browser code?
01:44:21maxkelleyapparently, on the e200, it's port 7, from what i can see.

02:14:49amiconn"Pause" just pauses. It stays in the WPS and keeps the already buffered music
02:15:51amiconn"Stop" exits to the browser and flushes the buffer
02:16:14ddaltonamiconn: I don't have the skills to rewrite the playback code and I don't really want to. So do you think a quick fix could be just stop playback if voice menus is on. Or if not what needs to be done to get voice working when playback is paused

03:29:10ddaltonas you might know voice can't talk when playback is paused. It can however when playback is stopped. So my fix was going to be: -pause playback -stop playback -return to wps and then the voice would be able to talk

04:43:53Leumas64Does anyone know how to transfer files from the gigabeat to your computer without the .sat encryption? I tried rockboxes way of doing that but it didnt work, all i was able to access was the hard drive but when i copied and pasted it, it only copied the folder and none of the songs.
04:44:43alienbiker99that sounds more like a computer problem than a rockbox one, Leumas64
04:44:45krazykitvelixzeen, bootloader first. after it's in manufacturing mode, it goes to recovery mode
04:45:36Leumas64any ideas appreciated, im all out.
04:47:04krazykitLeumas64, the only way is the one on the wiki, as far as i know
04:47:26Leumas64Ok, thanks
04:47:32krazykitLeumas64, is it in "windows media player" mode?
04:48:16Leumas64Yeah, when i do WMP mode it comes up in "My Computer" as an Audio device, and in gigabeat room mode, it comes up as an extra hard drive
04:48:39krazykityou've gone throught it exactly in the wiki?
04:49:01Leumas64Pretty darn sure
04:49:23alienbiker99erggg refreshing database takes soo long on the of =\
04:49:38krazykiti can't do much troubleshooting, sorry, as i've never used the gigabeat's original firmware
04:49:48Leumas64if i look at the properties of the folder on the audio device(Gigabeat) it says that the files can only be copied if its not connected to a PC
04:49:59krazykityou're going through the cradle
04:50:01krazykit?
04:50:03Leumas64yeah

05:36:56ddaltonkrazykit: ok but was there anything wrong with the variables? It was saying all the variables like UNIT_MUSICFILES weren't declared.
05:37:46krazykitmate, i don't even remember how to declare variables
05:37:57ddaltono ok then
05:39:40krazykitbut if it's like the variable declared in talk.c before the stuff you added, it doesn't look blatantly incorrect.

05:53:56krazykitthere's a patch for the gigabeat that does that, i imagine you could adapt it for the sansa
05:54:17krazykitbut you can't switch between landscape and portait on the fly, you need seperate builds

Im checking for that new 160gig ipod (I know its not supported yet, but eventually), but I'm not totally into using itunes and such for managing my existing music library and copying files on the ipod. would having rockbox just let me drag'n'drop my mp3/ogg files into the ipod through usb like any other usb drive?

08:58:04B4gderdepends on your viewpoint ;-)

08:58:37eikiok. thing is, Im just trying to find a nice hdd mp3 player where my music collection can fit in... altho I'm way not into all the DRM stuff that comes with itunes n' co.. too bad there's not, to my knowledge, a more "open" alternative with that much storage.
08:58:59eikiI though the checksum thing got cracked by the gtkpod crew

09:52:34ddaltonGodEater: is it possible to remove the current playing track from the buffer?
09:53:44LinusNddalton: the current playback code doesn't allow speech when the playback is paused, and it is unfortunately not that easy to fix
09:54:23markunLinusN: can't we just continue to feed the last value to the DAC while pausing?
09:54:24ddaltonLinusN: I just asked this on the mailing list but what needs to be done?
09:54:48 Join Zagor [0] (n=bjorn@rockbox/developer/Zagor)
09:55:28LinusNthe problem is that the pause/play logic is done by the PCM playback code, and not by the codecs
09:55:44ddaltonbecause it is very simple to make the pause function talk but it won't be in the wps
09:55:46peturhah... seems customers of Virgin Media will now understand what DRM means: from next month their traks will no longer play because Virgin stops the service...
09:55:56petur*tracks
09:55:56ddaltonjust calling stop but then that isn't pause
09:56:46LinusNddalton: the solution is to refactor the playback code, and we all know how fun/easy that is... :-)

10:35:06pondlifeddalton: That was quick! :)
10:35:50jhMikeSddalton: yes
10:36:34ddaltonjhMikeS: Do you know anything about voice when playback is paused? did you write any patches that were maybe getting closer to sorting this problem out?
10:36:44ddaltonpondlife told me to talk to you
10:36:56pondlifeLow latency PCM...
10:36:59pondlifebrb
10:37:27jhMikeSI haven't written much of anything to straighten it out since there are issues regarding what pondlife mentioned.
10:37:32pixelmaZagor: I think it is a well known problem with some Nanos (unfortunately none available to a dev) and already tracked back to this commit... testing once again won't hurt though
10:37:41ddaltonso do you know where I should start?
10:38:09Zagorpixelma: yes, I'm reading through the comments and threads. it appears to also be related to the specific nano version?
10:38:22ddaltonwhat code?
10:38:41jhMikeSddalton: basically, pcm is paused right in the middle of any transfer of audio and pausing basically is nothing more than pausing the outgoing audio.
10:38:50 Quit Sanitized (Read error: 110 (Connection timed out))
10:39:16ddaltonjhMikeS: so that includes the voice?
10:39:18Zagorhowever I like to "start from scratch". a few minutes "wasted" build time is worth it to avoid chasing the wrong thing
10:39:24ddaltonbeen paused
10:39:34jhMikeSddalton: it basically consists of playback.c and pcmbuf.c code.
10:40:34pixelmaIIUC it is hardware related, the firmware version was an idea once but some of the reports in the tracker show the same as known working Nanos (e.g. Llorean's)
10:40:38ddaltonjhMikeS: so would I need to be a good programmer? Or should I just forget about even trying?
10:40:46pixelmathat was to Zagor
10:41:33neolivzagor: rebooting on the 14003 right now. unable to read the bootload version though
10:41:40neolivis there a way to read it using big fonts?
10:41:53JdGordonddalton: yes, dont even bother with playback code
10:41:56jhMikeSddalton: it really needs a huge going over since the pcm buffer does not provide a way to play anything else when paused. it needs to provide another channel in essence.
10:41:56Zagorneoliv: ok, ignore the bootloader
10:42:08neoliv(I have my own wps for max readability... anywhere in debug menus?)
10:42:13ddaltonok I will work on something else :-)

10:43:54JdGordonNico_P: whats the story with mob?
10:43:57jhMikeSddalton: all I'm saying is anything from playback.c throught to the pcm buffer is really some hairy, ugly code and I suppose I'd wait for the buffer rewrite before doing major revision to.
10:44:31ddaltonok well I am far from a programmer so I don't think I would have much luck

11:08:22neoliv14003 is working now
11:08:24pondlifeNico_P: IIRC, that's only used to keep the progress bar running to the end of a track when then playback engine has moved onto the next track... maybe put some logging in on the sim to confirm.
11:08:32neolivtrying 14004 ASAP
11:08:35pondlifeIt may be that you can find a simpler method?

11:08:50Nico_Ppondlife: so maybe I could just get rid of it for now ?
11:08:56Nico_Ppondlife: I'll try the logging
11:09:10pondlifeYes, I think I might have added it ages ago :)
11:09:28Nico_Phopefully I'll be able to find a better way around that issue
11:09:55pondlifeProblem is, the progress bar needs to be driven by the PCM playback position, but in the playback code.
11:10:00ddaltonKiOui: svn has it!
11:10:02neolivdoes anyone know a way to "force" a boot to original firmware? here sometimes it boots to the diag screen (eventhough i'm holding the menu down while booting)

11:10:44LinusNpondlife: something that is likely to go away if we go the low-latency path
11:10:49pondlifeIndeed

11:11:51ddaltonis it hard to do?

11:28:31pondlife:)
11:28:49*pondlife has an appaling comment ratio on Ohloh...
11:28:52ddaltonNico_P: for example make a long press of rec call a certain function. Can you even do that?
11:31:37Nico_Pddalton: yes. the button code master is JdGordon. I think most of the base code is in action.c... I'm not sure where you'd add a new action though
11:32:08ddaltonok do you know how to make a long press of rec do something?
11:32:15ddaltonlike call a function
11:32:52Nico_Pthat would qualify as "adding a new action", and I don't know how to do it, no
11:33:05neolivzagor: report done. thx and see you maybe for a more "useful" patch one day or another ;)
11:33:07ddaltonok then
11:33:23Zagorneoliv: good job on the testing
11:33:38 Part neoliv
11:33:47Zagorddalton: you can't do that universally. buttons are assigned specifically for each screen/menu
11:34:27Zagorso you have to decide where you want that function/action, then add it to that screen or menu
11:35:17Zagor(well, technically, menus work the same everywhere but I don't think you want to change the menu module)
11:35:49ddaltonok I was going to try and get a long rec call a function when in the file browser and then in the radio and in the wps

11:48:35KiOuiHi again there
11:49:09KiOuiAbout buildall-voices.pl, it passes the name of the target to ../tools/configure; but the ../tools/configure I have in the trunk accept only a number
11:49:45KiOuiShould I use a different ../tools, or maybe a different rockbox repository?
11:53:09bluebrotherKiOui: I just tried to select the language by using the name and it worked.
11:53:32KiOuiNot the language, the platform target
11:53:40bluebrotheryou can do that too.
11:54:00KiOuiThe scripts talks about "player" or "ipodvideo", not "0" or "22"
11:54:18bluebrotheryou can put "player" instead of "0" etc.

12:10:46KiOuiBut it looks strange that the perl script doesn't work on my system, I'll continue to investigate
12:13:15rasherbluebrother: that won't work for voices, since that part of configure asks about RAM size as well for some targets
12:14:17B4gderKiOui: with double quotes (") you need double backslashes
12:14:24B4gderuse single quotes instead
12:16:08pixelmarasher: you are asked about RAM size when configuring for the manual as well...
12:17:22Nico_Ppondlife: well I've tried both approaches: global vars and complete removal. I think i'll go with the first as it makes the code simpler, and if I'm lucky the problem will solve itself
12:18:08pondlifeYes
12:18:38pondlifeAs long as the progress bar plays to the far end! It used to stop progressing completely for a bit.

12:19:34Nico_Pyes
12:19:59Nico_Pis the pcm code aware of the global position in the track ?
12:20:06pondlifeProbably not
12:20:18pondlifeNor should it be
12:20:40B4gderright, pcm is not even "track"
12:20:44B4gderjust data
12:20:45pondlifeWe should be working towards PCM being a general audio output stage, with no "playback" dependencies
12:21:14pondlifePause is the obvious problem ATM...
12:21:26Nico_Pand so isn't the progressbar always lagging behind tha actual elapsed time ?
12:21:42pondlifeNo, because playback allows for that, IIRC
12:21:51pixelmarasher: yes, it doesn't make sense. It's just that the query for (m)anual etc. comes after the query for ram size without exception

12:23:29pondlifelinuxstb: Nice
12:24:59linuxstbpondlife: I wonder if he would like to implement it in playback.c ;)
12:26:18pondlifeHmm, maybe - after Nico_P's cleaned it all up it'll be easy

12:30:00pondlife...with their hoodies and wooden fish...
12:30:11linuxstbNico_P: Have you thought about using your buffering code in the hwcodec playback engine?
12:30:42pondlifeThat could be a nice test case.
12:30:45Nico_Plinuxstb: I'd like to make HWCODEC use it, but I have no such target
12:31:08pondlifeIf you put the code into SVN, maybe some kind MAS user could play with it?
12:31:11Nico_Plinuxstb: the playback code is simpler, isn't it ?
12:32:24linuxstbNico_P: I don't know the hwcodec playback code, but would assume it's much simpler...
12:32:49linuxstbAs well as probably being easier. it would be a first steps towards the big unification.
12:33:14Nico_Psounds like a good idea, I'll have a look
12:33:35linuxstbIt's a shame the sim doesn't support hwcodec audio playback - I don't know how much you could do in the sim.
12:36:46Nico_Pwhy doesn't audio work in HWCODEC sims ? couldn't some simple MAS emulation be used ?
12:38:39B4gderI'm sure it could, if someone just wrote one ;-)
12:40:58Nico_Pwhat does the MAS take as input ? isn't it bitswapped PCM data ?
12:41:17B4gderyes
12:41:24B4gdermp3 data even
12:42:08Nico_Pah, so why couldn't we not do the bitswap and pass that data to SDL or our mp3 codec ?
12:42:27amiconn_Latency and end-of-track has several problems on swcodec
12:42:38B4gderNico_P: again, just because nobody made it do so
12:42:45B4gderthere's no technical reason why it can't be done
12:42:59amiconn_Like, playback knows about the latency for elapsed time and current track metadata, but not for next track metadata
12:43:00B4gderwe even once had sound for the hwcodes
12:43:03Nico_PB4gder: ok, I just wanted to know if it was doable in theory
12:43:19B4gder... based on libmad too
12:43:34Nico_Pwhy did it disappear ?
12:43:39amiconn_So, near the end of a track. the Next track info show info from 2 tracks ahead, while current track info stays correct
12:43:45B4gderit was a terrible implementation afair
12:44:14B4gderand I'm quite sure that was before swcodec even so things are entirely different today

12:45:24amiconn_A MAS emulator would probably be more complex than the whole swcodec playback engine....
12:45:42B4gderwhy so?
12:45:54linuxstbBut it would very useful as not many devs have hwcodec devices.
12:46:19B4gderI would imagine a system where most accesses to MAS is replaced with a function or macro, that when built for the simultator communicates with a MAS thread that
12:46:33B4gderdoes what the mas would do
12:46:58linuxstbSounds like it would also force a useful abstraction...
12:47:07amiconn_The mas does not only take mp3 data
12:47:17amiconn_It also communicates via i2c
12:47:21B4gderno, but we could start with the mp3 data
12:47:26amiconn_And then there is the pcm codec...
12:47:29B4gderand the i2c communication could be emulated the same way
12:47:40B4gderand we could ignore the pcm codec to start with
12:48:12B4gdera perfect emulation is dead hard, yes but something that is 95% for mp3 is not
12:49:57amiconn_perhaps

13:02:07Nico_Pwhy not add something about it to the front page ?
13:02:50B4gderwell, having the manual describe the rbutil way will of course make a lot more people use it
13:03:00B4gderas we like to refer people there...
13:04:18linuxstbWe could simply add a link in the manual to the rbutil wiki page for now - maybe with a note saying that it is still in development and feedback/testing is needed.
13:04:50bluebrothermy idea was to split the installation section into "automatic" and "manual" installation
13:05:05bluebrotherthat way we could easily move the manual installation somewhere to the appendix later.

13:43:09JdGordonamiconn_: without having to reimplement every lcd drawing function for viewports, do you have any idea how to tell it what offset to draw at? (so 0,0 is the top of the viewport instead of the top of the screen)
13:43:10markunpatrakov: or make a small one from a tiny wav file

13:44:16patrakovso should I retry with flac without the ogg container now?
13:44:17markunlinuxstb: would it be difficult to support?
13:44:25LinusNpatrakov: yes
13:44:31markunas we also have ogg/speex support
13:44:43linuxstbmarkun: Probably not, but I can't see the benefit of the added complexity of Ogg...
13:45:14linuxstbI think patrakov is the first person in more than two years of FLAC support to want to play Ogg/FLAC...

13:47:35patrakovok, it plays
13:47:39linuxstbpatrakov: Out of curiousity, is there a reason you chose to encode your files as Ogg/FLAC, instead of plain FLAC?
13:47:45JdGordonwould anyone have a problem with splitting the radio.c file up into a few radio_* files?

13:48:51LinusNi wouldn't mind, if it makes the code better
13:49:12pondlifeJdGordon: Do I recall you once looked into a method for Rockbox to check the bootloader version? So if someone updated the main build it could warn if an old bootloader was in use?
13:49:29JdGordonI gave it half an effort a while ago
13:49:45pondlifeYou got as far as some kind of magic number in a register?
13:49:55JdGordonthat was the plan, but it didnt work
13:50:03patrakovlinuxstb: because my previous attempt was to encode wav to flac using a swiss-army knife (ffmpeg), and rockbox didn't recognize the result (mplayet did). then I tried to wrap flac in ogg container - ffmpeg segfaulted. then I installed the "flac" tool and tried to make an ogg-flac file with it. Rockbox didn't recognize it. Then you told me to use native flac - and it worked

13:51:38JdGordonpondlife: it would be best if there was a nice way to stick the verison string into a know place in RAM that would be generic enough for every target
13:52:04pondlifeDoesn't have to be the same on every target, does it?
13:52:14pondlifeJust consistent in the source code.
13:52:15patrakovlinuxstb: so there is still a bug report: Rockbox doesn't recognize flac files produced with the "ffmpeg" tool, like this: ffmpeg -i track01.wav -acodec flac -author "Paul Mauriat" -album "French Collection 2000" -year 2000 -track 1 -title "Paris Musette" "01 - Paris Musette.flac"
13:52:18JdGordonyeah
13:52:44pondlifeSo why not have a config-.h definition for a bootloader version address?
13:53:05pondlife0 means that target has no known suitable address, hence no test.

13:54:42patrakovlinuxstb: thanks
13:54:44linuxstbpatrakov: Are you sure you called the file .flac, and not .ogg ? Rockbox uses the extension as the first part of the format detection.
13:54:52patrakovyes

13:55:26patrakovyes
13:56:22JdGordonpondlife: ok, ill have another try at it
13:57:37pondlifeWell, you did say you were bored :)
13:57:47*pondlife sadly lacks that problem
13:57:53amiconn_JdGordon: The clipping in each function needs to be adjusted for viewports, but that's not really a problem
13:58:28JdGordonnot clipping... offsetting
13:58:42JdGordonalthough clipping does have a similar problem
13:58:57JdGordonunless the viewports are done at the lowest lcd drawing functions
13:59:30amiconn_of course
13:59:49JdGordonok, so they all need redoing anyway, so maybe its not a big deal
13:59:50amiconn_Yes, and the offsetting happens directly after clipping... still not really a problem
13:59:55pondlifeI'd think that all offsets would only be relative to a viewport, never the screen. The initial screen would itself be a viewport, of course.
13:59:58 Part LinusN
14:00
14:00:11amiconn_Why would you need to redo all the functions???
14:00:25JdGordonumm
14:00:28amiconn_pondlife: Of course
14:00:54patrakovlinuxstb: now about the aac codec. Should it recognize only *.aac files, or are *.m4a/*.mp4 files also acceptable?
14:01:36linuxstbpatrakov: Only m4a/mp4 files. But they need to be "streaming" format - I believe Nero has an option for that (but I'm not 100% sure - I'm not an AAC expert)
14:01:44pondlifeThe only time screen co-ords are used would be when defining a viewport, right? Otherwise viewports would have to have "parents"... urgh.
14:01:51patrakovI use Linux and have no Nero
14:02:16patrakovI need a command line for either ffmpeg or faac
14:02:25amiconn_pondlife: yes

14:03:08 Part KiOui
14:03:22JdGordonpondlife: does it get put in iram or dram?
14:03:33pondlifeDRAM I'd think.

14:10:30JdGordonyeah, but when apps calls some lcd function wtith an x,y pixel value, it will need to know what offset into the screen that pixel actually is
14:10:50JdGordontrying to see how it can be added without modifing the apps layer too much to start with

14:13:43pondlifeWon't margins be replaced by viewports ultimately?
14:13:55JdGordonI would tihnk so
14:14:05pondlifeThey'll also work within a viewport initially.
14:14:06linuxstbpatrakov: I've just tried a flac file encoded by ffmpeg, and it doesn't work for me either... I don't have time to investigate any more now though, but I think it's related to the metadata blocks (or lack of them)
14:14:19Zagorviewports should definitely replace margins
14:14:22*JdGordon hopes this frustrates amiconn_ enough to start coding it :D
14:14:22amiconn_JdGordon: Yes, modified, but that modification is dead simple
14:14:26Zagorhaving both would be ... ungood
14:14:26pondlifeI think of a viewport as being like the current screens
14:14:48pixelmalinuxstb: already left...
14:14:48JdGordonhehe ungood
14:14:56pondlifei.e. the remote would be a viewport (one or more) too.
14:15:10linuxstbpixelma: I just noticed. He was there when I started typing that sentence though...
14:15:18amiconn_Zagor: The margins as they are implemented now will go away
14:15:49amiconn_pondlife: That won't work. The app layer needs to distinguish main & remote
14:16:20pondlifeOf course, but it would still work like screens do at the moment.
14:16:31JdGordonviewports is going to go between the screens api and the lcd drawing functions?

14:27:25amiconn_My idea of identifying viewports is by their address. The root viewport can then be set by passing a NULL pointer
14:27:57pondlifeEach viewport would start with a header structure defining size etc?
14:28:31JdGordonyeah, I thought passing the viewport id instead of the pointer would be easier
14:28:47pondlifeI was thinking there wouldn't be a heirarchy (i.e no root), just an initial viewport (number 0) plus a second one for targets with remotes.
14:29:23*JdGordon wants z-ordering built into viewports
14:29:40pondlifeNo
14:29:43pondlifeNot needed
14:29:49JdGordonyes it is
14:29:56pondlifeWhy overlap?
14:29:59pondlifeSplash?
14:30:07JdGordonmore than splash, but yes
14:30:22pondlifeI thought that the initial one would not support overlapping
14:30:22JdGordonI have some ideas for the list which would need it
14:30:34petur_please_ keep it simple
14:30:39pondlifeKISS it better
14:30:47linuxstbJdGordon: What ideas?
14:30:58JdGordonwell, I figured if it was drawing staright intot he lcd buffer anyway, just draw the lowest first, then draw each one above it beore the lcd update
14:32:02JdGordonwell, an idea... have a small rect which would make it painfully obvious roughly where int he list you are if its an alphabeticle list.. e.g it would show the first letter for the first item in a larger font
14:32:20gammyhm
14:32:21JdGordonor first fw letters if they are the same
14:32:24pondlifeHmm, multiple fonts too?
14:32:38*JdGordon 's grand vision for them :p
14:32:48pondlifeNice idea, but maybe not in the first cut.
14:33:55JdGordonbut yeah, even splashes in todays code are "z-ordered".. just that the bottom screen isnt redrawn
14:34:07JdGordonbut it wouldnt be in the viewports any mostly...
14:34:42amiconn_A viewport would have a struct holding its parameters. Normally there wouldn't be a hierarchy, with one exception
14:35:10JdGordonhmm... ok, maybe it wouldnt need it after all... the screen could do its own heighrachy and redrwa them in the order it wants
14:35:22amiconn_The scroll code needs to inherit from the active viewports, in order to be able to destroy the correct scrolling objects when clearing a viewport
14:36:58amiconn_And no z-order either; if viewports overlap the one which draws last wins

15:17:53Zagormaybe you'd want that for the "delete all" button, but not basic menus
15:18:26JdGordonbig icons is for fat fingures...
15:18:47JdGordonand yeah, the select then click is needed or else your bound to do something you dont want

15:22:14linuxstbThe only touch-screen device I have is a GPS, which is single-click, and I have no problem with it.
15:22:24ZagorEven the tomtom in my car doesn't have it
15:22:51JdGordonactually.. to tell you the truth, I never actually tried it with single click
15:22:54Zagorwe don't exactly have a lot of destructive actions anyway
15:23:03JdGordonI did it 2 clicks because i hadnt got the scrolling working yet :p
15:23:10Zagorhehe
15:23:41JdGordonwe have 1 killer destructive action... load track
15:23:49JdGordonaccidentl click will wipe your playlist
15:24:12linuxstbIsn't there already a setting for that?

15:30:03linuxstbZagor: Yes, I looked at that - it wasn't at all clear what was happening...
15:31:16RincewindZagor: You are responsible for the web page, right?
15:31:25ZagorRincewind: yes
15:31:32Rincewindwould it be possible to have 10 commit messages on the front page?
15:31:44*linuxstb wanted to ask the same question
15:31:47*markun also votes for more than 4
15:32:09linuxstbAlso, the timestamps on the front page and "last 4 weeks" page are in different timezones...
15:32:11Rincewindbecause with the current 5 i always have to check further to get all commits since the last day
15:32:12Zagoryou have 15 if you click the header
15:33:04Zagorwe can't have everything on the front. it's already very crowded.

15:34:15Zagorvery very long
15:34:20Rincewindthen it is sometimes more and sometimes less and if I check regularly I don't have to click to a second page
15:34:35ZagorRincewind: the front page is not the "development status" page.
15:34:37peturZagor: but you could add the 'since 4 weeks' link back
15:34:38scorcheespecially is JdGordon is committing anything that day...

15:35:34JdGordon:) cheers
15:35:51*DerPapst thinks "who" should be the 2nd column on the svn table
15:35:56Rincewindanother thing, if I click the "subversion" header, it should go directly to the anchor Subversion
15:36:17DerPapstRincewind: that is what JdGordon just requested ;)
15:36:42amiconn_DerPapst:: Imo 'what' and 'where' is more important information than 'who'

17:52:04JTD121Ah, so you need someone that knows the hardware a little better than most people?
17:53:11Nico_Pit's actually more than that. Apple has implemented a protection to prevent users from running custom code on their players, so we'd need a workaround before even considering a port

17:53:52JTD121I would imagine it was, since it seemed so effetive in the 2nd gen

18:16:51kfazzNico_P: what on?
18:17:01kfazzno i don't

18:17:30bluebrotherand it seems it has become a *huge* problem for the industry (they gave an example on Harting, which are making industry connectors)
18:17:30Nico_Pkfazz: I've been cleaning it up and now I'm adding separate modes for solid colour and gradient colour
18:17:38Nico_Pkfazz: I'm hoping to commit it
18:17:48kfazzawesome
18:18:07markunDark_Apostrophe: sure, just hold select and choose "delete"
18:18:15markunselect = center of cross
18:18:26Dark_Apostrophemarkun: If I push select, it starts playing off the files
18:18:26kfazzdo you think it's better to draw the gradient in FG or BG?
18:18:43kfazzif in FG you can see it over bitmaps
18:18:51Nico_Pkfazz: FG makes more sense to me
18:18:56Nico_Pkfazz: what bitmaps ?
18:19:02nls_Dark_Apostrophe: hold it down a little longer
18:19:31kfazzdid you see the screenshot in the forum thread with black background and just the selected text color changed?
18:19:33Dark_ApostropheHmm, you're right - thanks
18:19:39kfazzbitmaps as in a background pic
18:19:46Dark_ApostropheAlso, there are certain directories I don't need to have visual in the file browser
18:20:00Dark_Apostrophefonts, fwimg, image
18:20:03Nico_Pkfazz: ah, the backdrop... well I believe the line selector should hide the backdrop
18:20:13Dark_ApostropheIs it possible to make them not show in the file browser?

18:20:49markun:)
18:20:51kfazzso do i, which was why i changed it, but that eliminates the possibilty of using a different font color as the selector
18:21:09kfazzwithout the gradient
18:21:09Nico_Pkfazz: also I fixed a slight display glitch... the gradient was drawing one line too much
18:21:11Dark_ApostropheSo can I make those directories invisible?

18:21:31kfazzthat was pretty much trial by error code
18:21:33markunDark_Apostrophe: if you don't plan to use the original firmware anymore you can replace the GBSYSTEM folder with our dummy one (+ the bootloader)
18:21:43Nico_Pkfazz: I hadn't realised that
18:21:44bluebrotherDark_Apostrophe: set the hidden flag using the PC and then select something different than "all" as filetype view
18:21:53markunDark_Apostrophe: http://www.rockbox.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/GigabeatFXPort#Improved_Boot_Time_Optional
18:22:08Dark_Apostrophebluebrother: hidden flag = a dot before the directory
18:22:41Dark_ApostropheAlso, all of the video, music etc... dirs are within gbsystem/
18:23:31bluebrotherDark_Apostrophe: no.
18:23:56bluebrotherthere are two types of hidden files: (1) files starting with a dot. That's the way to hide files on *nix systtems.
18:24:09Dark_ApostropheWell, I use Debian on all my computers
18:24:26bluebrother(2) set the "hidden" flag in the filesystem. FAT has a hidden flag. If that is set the file won't show up in the browser
18:24:40bluebrotheryou can use mtools for that
18:25:05Dark_ApostropheWait, can I just move the music and video directories to /?
18:25:20Dark_ApostropheI don't plan to use the original firmware for anything.
18:25:26bluebrotheryou can move the data files to any place you like
18:25:28Dark_ApostropheHell, I think it's not even there any more.
18:25:30Dark_ApostropheGreat
18:25:39Dark_ApostropheWhat about the existing music database though?
18:26:06markunDark_Apostrophe: be careful not to remove GBSYSTEM/FWIMG/FWIMG01.DAT (which is the bootloader)
18:26:11bluebrotheriirc the OF will automatically set the hidden flag on the system folder
18:26:34markunsome other files need to have a minimal file size or else the Gigabeat refuses to boot
18:26:46Dark_Apostropheok
18:27:14Dark_Apostrophecan I just set the hidden flag on gbsystem/ and ignore it all?

22:01:53fm2Anybode here who's familiar with .lang file format and genlang script?
22:02:02stevenmNico_P, ooh what's it do?
22:02:17maxkelleytell me, sister morphine.
22:02:21Nico_Pstevenm: look at FS #7808
22:02:33*maxkelley looks
22:03:37fm2I had the problem that not all of VOICE_xxx symbols were added to the generated lang.h file, e.g. VOICE_EXT_RWPS which led to compile errors in filetypes.c. Checking out RB anew didn't help.
22:04:05fm2So I looked into genlang and saw that entries with ": none" are ignored. Am I right?
22:04:59maxkelleyI'd like that committed.
22:05:12fm2genlang:399: ""none" as dest (without quotes) means that this entire phrase is to be ignored"
22:05:38fm2But how should it work then? There are many entries with "none" in them.
22:05:54fm2Bagder: could you shed some light?
22:06:19maxkelleywould it be possible to log gpio status while in OF?
22:06:34maxkelleyer, well, nevermind.
22:07:02Bagderfm2: I don't quite understand the question
22:07:52fm2Bagder: the question is: why is VOICE_EXT_RWPS ignored by genlang whereas other entries with "none" are not.
22:08:17BagderI have no idea
22:08:21amiconnAll entries while evaluate to none: are ignored. That's intended behaviour
22:08:22fm2I replaced "none" with "" in that entry and it found its way into the generated lang.h
22:08:34Bagdernone or not equal to ""
22:08:40Bagdernot is not equal I meant
22:08:47Bagder"" means the string is nothing
22:08:57Bagdernone means the string isn't used and isn't used in the output at all
22:09:09amiconnOf course not all entries that have none: as one possibility evaluate to none. That depends on the selected target and its features
22:09:28amiconnE.g. VOICE_EXT_RWPS only makes sense on targets wtih a remote lcd.
22:09:45HardDisk_WPhallo

22:10:43HardDisk_WP[amsg] hallo

22:43:07bluebrotherwe should better remove all eye-candy to disencourage ipod users installing Rockbox −− until all other bugs are fixed ;-)
22:43:07pixelmafm2: IIRC tortoise didn't like that but ask petur; I think he uses that too (or did)
22:43:19Lloreanmaxkelley: Then please never say it *does* again. You mentioned usability in relation to a patch that doesn't affect it.
22:43:29fm2Bagder: yes. Hua, the world is round again! :-)
22:43:50Lloreanmaxkelley: You also have to remember, every piece of eyecandy code added negatively affects every user who doesn't want it, so you *have* to take both sides into account
22:43:58peturtortoise converts to native, you have to configure cygwin to native too
22:44:23maxkelleyLlorean: that's what options are for.

22:44:28fm2petur: ...and then ask Bagder why genlang doesn't work?
22:44:39Lloreanmaxkelley: Options don't make binary size increase and increased RAM usage go away.
22:44:40maxkelleyand I never said that it increased the usability of rockbox, just the appeal.
22:44:47peturhmmm gtg, back in 30 min
22:45:07fm2petur: if I setup cygwin for CRLF, do all the text utils and the shell also use that setting?
22:45:09maxkelleythat is true, but how come OF's can fit eyecandy in, and still have room for more?
22:45:30Lloreanmaxkelley: I didn't say it *can't* be fit, I said it comes with a cost.
22:45:38maxkelleythat's true.
22:45:50LloreanOFs are mostly crap
22:45:54LloreanIn fact, most people agree on that.
22:45:58LloreanIn a lot of cases they perform poorly
22:45:59maxkelleyyep, that's why I switched :)
22:46:11maxkelleymy OF would corrupt my MP3 files after a short time.
22:46:13LloreanSo why are you suggesting we do what the OFs do, if this could be part of why they ARE crap?
22:46:19bluebrotherpixelma: what do you think about this? http://www.stud.uni-karlsruhe.de/~uhcn/rockbox/wikiicon.png
22:46:25LloreanMany OFs have very sluggish responses to screen changes, etc, due to the added eyecandy
22:46:47LloreanWe also beat the battery life of several OFs because of good buffering and lean code
22:46:48maxkelleyNo, I'm not. In fact, I myself like the simplicity of rockbox's interface, but I'm thinking about people that like the eyecandy.
22:46:59LloreanPeople who like eyecandy over added features can keep using the OF
22:47:07 Part fm2 ("Thnaks again master Bagder!")
22:47:08maxkelleyheh, Ok.
22:47:14LloreanI don't see that it necessarily pays to attract people who *only* want the eyecandy.
22:47:40Lloreanbluebrother: That's to be the icon for "Wiki Page"?
22:47:55Lloreanmaxkelley: That being said I'm in favour of the gradient patch, though I'd like it to be a gradient between two colors.
22:48:05bluebrotherwell, it's the first icon I came around which didn't looked too bad.
22:48:10bluebrotherbut I'm free for suggestions.
22:48:17maxkelleybluebrother: look again.
22:48:21Lloreanbluebrother: I don't mind it.
22:48:30maxkelleyor am I looking at the wrong thing?
22:48:46Nico_PLlorean: a gradient between two colors is perfectly possible, but it requires an additional setting
22:48:48maxkelleyI got a screenshot of XPDF.
22:48:56LloreanNico_P: It'd be much much preferable I think.
22:49:05LloreanNico_P: Considering background color changes, etc.
22:49:09bluebrotherit's \Laserbeam of the marvosym package. An overview of icons is here: http://tug.ctan.org/info/symbols/comprehensive/symbols-a4.pdf
22:49:16maxkelleyI believe that would be helpful, too.
22:49:19Lloreanmaxkelley: Bluebrother works on the manual.
22:49:32bluebrotherI'd like to keep using marvosym as we already use that and don't want to add more dependencies.

22:49:53bluebrothermaxkelley: is _is_ a screenshot of xpdf ;)
22:50:08maxkelleyoh. :)
22:50:14LloreanNico_P: Some people using solid color backgrounds may want the highlight bar to seem to fade into the background (or out of) and choose one of the two colors as their background color, for example.
22:50:29maxkelleyheh, I apologize if I'm being annoying.. I'm being distracted from my homework :)
22:50:41pixelmabluebrother: maybe that icon (or a similar) that you can see in wikipedia, used there for "link opens in another window/tab"?
22:50:42Nico_PLlorean: good one :) I'll start implementing the second colour
22:50:55bluebrotherI already tried \Ecommerce (page 14) but didn't like that too much
22:51:21pixelmaNico_P: that's already a lot of added options... *shrug*
22:52:24maxkelleywhat if the line selector menu is consolidated into one, with options: bar, dot, gradient (and gradient is a sub-menu, which has options for the gradient)
22:52:29pixelmabluebrother: if there is one
22:52:42LloreanNico_P, pixelma: Could it not be easier to simply use a .bmp for the highlight bar, instead of gradients or anything, and just let that be part of themes?

22:52:54bluebrotherwell, I'm still searching that pdf. Quite a lot of characters ...
22:52:58LloreanThen you can use a gradient, a pattern, a color, two colors, or whatever?
22:53:07LloreanAnd less needed "options"
22:53:14pixelmaLlorean: that's what low_light already suggested and I like the idea too
22:53:21maxkelleya bmp makes sense, but it'd be nice to configure it on the player.
22:53:25Nico_PLlorean: this was suggested and it's indeed a nice idea, but it's less flexible
22:53:33bluebrotheran option to underline instead of inverting the complete line would be interesting too.
22:53:39pixelmamaxkelley: use "rockpaint"...
22:53:45maxkelleypixelma: point taken :)
22:53:48LloreanNico_P: Less flexible how?
22:54:11Nico_PLlorean: a bitmap doesn't scale, it's harder to change on target
22:54:19maxkelleywouldn't using a bmp make it more complicated, because you'd need a seperate bmp for each target.

22:54:34LloreanNico_P: Most themes don't scale either, though
22:54:35maxkelleywhich just adds to the list of bmps that new ports require to be scaled.
22:54:49Lloreanmaxkelley: The default bar wouldn't be a bitmap
22:54:54maxkelleyI thought themes do, just not wps's.
22:55:06Nico_PLlorean: WPS don't, but any font can go on any backdrop
22:55:51bluebrotherpixelma: the email symbol c't uses is available ...
22:56:34LloreanNico_P: Vertical stretching is a problem I guess.
22:56:44maxkelleyI know! SVG :)
22:57:45Nico_PLlorean: I'm all for adding bitmap as an option, but not as the only one
22:58:03maxkelleyI think the simplest way to do it would be the options, and perhaps add bitmap as an additional option.

23:03:27Nico_Ppixelma: I was thinking of a submenu with FG/BG colours and line selector colours
23:03:31maxkelleyI think having a colors menu at this point would just further complicate things, so I think that it would be nice to have the following options in line selector: inverted bar, dot, gradient, bitmap
23:03:46pixelmabluebrother: which one (can't recall that atm)?
23:04:15Nico_Pmaxkelley: that's what there is (without the bitmap option), but settings to choose the colours are also required

23:07:19Nico_Pmidgey: seen the patch ?
23:07:26midgeylooking at it now
23:07:39midgeyi was planning on implementing gradients, but never got around to it
23:07:49maxkelleyI guess that works.
23:08:01Nico_Pmidgey: kfazz is the one to thank for the gradient
23:08:04***Saving seen data "./dancer.seen"
23:08:09midgeyindeed

23:09:52midgeyNico_P: do you think the invert variable in the scrolling struct should be renamed?
23:10:17midgeysame with invert_cursor in settings
23:10:52Nico_Pmidgey: probably, yes
23:11:05midgeyNico_P: i was thinking the same
23:11:17 Part Domonoky
23:11:27midgeyiirc, jdgordan didnt like the invert_cursor == 1 etc lines
23:11:41Nico_Pthat's understandable
23:11:48Nico_Pwhat about cursor_mode ?
23:12:05midgeysounds good
23:12:38mirakI have a .Wav file with glitches, and conversion to flac fails. Do you have any idea how to repair it
23:13:27midgeyNico_P: it seems like the general approach in 7808 is pretty similar to my original patch, have there been any comments regarding the implementation?
23:13:50Nico_PI'm not sure, and I was interested in that too
23:14:04midgeythere might be a cleaner way to do it
23:14:52amiconnA coloured selector bar probably makes sense, and imho it could even replace the inverted bar on colour targets, as you can make it look the same as an inverted bar
23:15:15amiconnBut I can't say I like the gradient stuff
23:15:30midgeyits also nice to just have the selected item change text color
23:15:55midgeybut leave the background the same
23:15:59Nico_Pmidgey: the invert_cursor setting is referred to in quite a lot of places... I think it would be better to do the renaming in a separate patch
23:16:21Nico_Pmidgey, amiconn: oth can be done with the solid colour setting
23:16:31amiconnyes
23:16:35Nico_PI personally prefer the gradient
23:16:38Zagorweb server update in progress
23:16:44midgeyNico_P: i saw that, i'm glad it was added
23:17:00amiconnGradient slows down things, and doesn't really improve usability
23:17:10midgeyand yes i think if the patch is committed, the rename should be a second commit/code police
23:17:23amiconnMaybe it's not that bad, but I probably won't use it
23:17:39midgeyits only implemented on color targets, correct?
23:17:51Nico_Pyes
23:18:03midgeyim not sure how useful a greyscale gradient would have been :P
23:18:06Nico_Pamiconn: have you looked at the implementation ?
23:18:08LloreanGradients are popular though
