#rockbox log for 2007-10-07

00:00:12amiconnThat's why there is a delay, so clips are only read when you stop for a short while
00:01:23amiconnThere is one mechanism that avoids unnecessary spinups for file .talk clips though: The file browser caches the presence/absence of a .talk clips for each file as an extra file attribute, so it doesn't spin up the disk when there is no clip for a file
00:02:13*amiconn only uses .talk clips for folders, not for files

00:14:13zichoHm, how come no one has ported nethack to rockbox?
00:14:18 Quit BigMac (Client Quit)
00:16:43Soapzicho: I think it would be hard to play nethack on a DAP, or any other device, with such a limited selection of keys.
00:17:06PaulJamDon't you need text input for nethack? i could imagine this to be very anoying with the virtual keyboard
00:17:37zichoIt works on the GP2X
00:17:52tdtookethanks for your time guys..

00:18:05zichoIt would be a little harder on rockbox yes, but I think it would be perfectly playable

00:19:31Soaplooks like the GP2X has 7 buttons + directional pad (8 more buttons?)
00:19:36amiconnPaulJam, Isolinear: Solid mode is faster than gradient mode, but the separate setting could be removed if rockbox would auto-switch to solid colour drawing if first_colour == second_colour
00:20:22jhMikeSmega-commit cometh :) (well, not that "mega")
00:20:39zichoSoap: That is correct.
00:20:43Isolinearamiconn: Faster in what manner? LCD drawing? Processor power?
00:21:13amiconnAll gfx is drawn into the (memory based) framebuffer first
00:21:33Soapzicho: counting volume buttons it has 19 total. The iPod has 8, the gigabeat 10.
00:21:37amiconnDrawing a solid rectangle is a bit faster than drawing a bunch of lines (in fact not much)
00:22:11IsolinearGotcha.
00:22:14amiconnThat actually depends on what pixel format the target uses, but all colour targets use RGB565 packed into 16 bits
00:22:30IsolinearAlso, the gradient option does not apply to non-color targets, correct?
00:22:33zichoSoap: You would have to extensively use menus if you would like to play it on rockbox. With some key actions on shortcut-buttons
00:22:52amiconn(we _might_ switch to RGB444 on c200 for better speed. The framebuffer would stay 16 bit though)
00:23:00SoapI'll admit never playing nethack, but don't you need to use the buttons in realtime? Is it not a real-time RPG?
00:23:13amiconnIsolinear: correct
00:23:32amiconnIn fact also the solid colour option does not apply. Just pointer and inverse bar
00:23:56zichoSoap: No. Turn-based.
00:24:08zichoYou should play it, it is a mighty fine game.
00:24:57SoapThat does change things quite a bit. One last fact in favor of my original argument, though ;) is that the GPX2 allows button combos, most the DAPs do not.

00:42:09jhMikeSjust what it says but it does make the code more robust and gets some stuff ready for dual-core.
00:42:52*jhMikeS consoles himself in the fact he saved 512KB by elimating one swap buffer though
00:44:15*amiconn is a bit puzzled
00:45:18amiconnIt's around +800 bytes for non-recording PP targets, and around +1600 bytes for recording PP targets, but much less for other swcodec targets
00:45:41jhMikeSyeah, I'm looking closer wondering what's going on here

01:41:04IsolinearDoes the amp draw enough power to make a difference in battery life in the iPod 5G (or any other targets for that matter)...
01:41:33IsolinearIn other words, will I save battery by keeping my volume at say, -30dB instead of 0dB?
01:41:52jhMikeSamiconn: it definitely has a huge delay for playing video. why's that?

01:45:17*jhMikeS will admit the graylib code is a bit complex even though it only took about 15min to understand the kernel :p
01:48:17 Quit jhMikeS (Read error: 104 (Connection reset by peer))
01:48:32amiconnIsolinear: It depends on the actual load.
01:48:46IsolinearDefine "load"?
01:49:40amiconnIf you connect low-impedance headphones (or even passive speakers), the amp will draw more power when increasing volume. The lower the impedance is, the more power it will draw (within the amp's limits)
01:50:21 Join jhMikeS [0] (n=jethead7@rockbox/developer/jhMikeS)
01:50:31amiconnBut if you hook it up to a stereo set (line input), you can put it at 0dB (and in fact should) without significant currents
01:50:42amiconnjhMikeS: What delay do you mean?
01:51:23amiconnThe high load on PP that makes it stutter is due to the high cpu load in the graylib timer isr, due to the slow transfer through the PP "mono" lcd bridge
01:51:55IsolinearDoes the physical amount of energy used depend on the impedance at any given volume level?

01:52:16 Quit random_desu_is_s (Read error: 110 (Connection timed out))
01:52:29IsolinearFor example, will the amp draw less power at 0dB with low impedance headphones as opposed to 0dB with high impedance?
01:52:32amiconnThat's unavoidable. Fortunately this slow transfer will (hopefully completely) shadow the extra calculations needed for the 128 shades idea
01:52:44amiconnIsolinear: The other way round
01:53:32 Quit ender` (" On the contrary, if you never procreate, neither will your kids.")
01:54:20jhMikeSamiconn: It seems graylib has a lag to it that doesn't exist on other slow targets. Compare video on H100 and x5. x5 is more synced. graylib tends to lag really slow and then pop forward alot.
01:54:43IsolinearImpedance = resistance, right?
01:54:58 Quit fleebailey33 (Connection reset by peer)
01:55:12jhMikeSIsolinear: not at all. Resitance is a special case of resitance where current and voltage are in phase.
01:55:20amiconnjhMikeS: That lag is caused by the sloo-oow lcd panel
01:55:24jhMikeS*of impedance
01:55:56amiconnOn M5 it's way better. Same lcd controller as in the H1x0, but other (way faster) panel
01:56:19IsolinearAhh, I see.
01:56:28jhMikeSamiconn: hmm...interesting.
01:56:50 Quit tedrock (Read error: 110 (Connection timed out))
01:57:22IsolinearWell in any case, the amount of power required by the amp depends not necessarily on the set volume level, but on the impedance of whatever is connected to it.
01:57:32IsolinearCorrect?
01:57:35amiconnjhMikeS: It's even more visible with the grayscale lib due to the fact that gray<->gray changes are slower that black->white changes on *all* LCDs without special tricks

02:01:47parafin|awayafaik
02:03:07amiconnTMM: You can't "clear" the pixels as there's no such state
02:03:21amiconnThe main trick is using overdrive
02:03:31TMMamiconn: what is that?
02:04:02amiconnThat means if the pixel is e.g. dark grey and should become light grey, it's first set to white a very short time, and then to its final value (light grey)
02:05:10amiconnUsing this properly requires precise knowledge of the panel's speed (which vastly depends on temperature). The short white period shouldn't become visible, it should only help to reach the light grey state faster
02:05:10jhMikeSamiconn: why not simply square pulse between black and white?
02:05:40amiconn?
02:06:11jhMikeSjust use black and white and pulse black a variable amount of time? need more updates for that?
02:07:06amiconnThat's how how the greyscale lcds (and also the grayscale lib) actually achieve the greylevels
02:07:40jhMikeSah,ok. I thought you were saying you used the two grays as well.
02:07:56amiconnNo, that doesn't work
02:08:58amiconnIt's because the internal greylevels are achieved by the same mechanism. Putting another such mechanism on top of that without being able to synchronise the clocks just causes a lot of graininess
02:08:59jhMikeSI do know the HW does that. That seems to be true of color panels as well.
02:09:08amiconnYes and no
02:09:29amiconnPassive (CSTN) colour lcds work the same way (e.g. the one in the c200)
02:09:52amiconnActive (TFT) colour lcds actually use different (analog) voltages

02:31:23SoapSince most people don't feel like cracking open their device (assuming they have the required meter) to do the testing, battery_bench tests (properly done) are a functional alternative.

05:06:33webguest44hi i just got the new ipod classic with 80gigs and I want to know if I can install rockbox on it?
05:07:00ddaltonwebguest44: You can't read the rockbox.org website?
05:07:07ddaltonsee the front page
05:07:19ddaltonand the answer is no
05:07:52webguest44do you know when and if i'l be able to do that?
05:10:09TMMwebguest44: when and if someone figures out the encryption used in the firmware, some datasheets for the portalplayer stuff would be nice as well :)
05:10:59webguest44so yo guys need the data sheets?
05:11:14TMMwebguest44: that would help, have them? :)
05:11:20webguest44i can get them is there a way i can give them to you guys?
05:11:39TMMwebguest44: wtf? really?
05:11:54webguest44my friend for apple.
05:12:12ddaltonwebguest44: you have the data sheets?
05:12:19webguest44if i can get them how can i give them to you guys?
05:12:22TMMwebguest44: if he can get them, just send them to anyone with a rockbox email address
05:12:38TMMwebguest44: bagder would be best. probably
05:12:44webguest44oh ok!! :)
05:13:01webguest44i'll ask him 1st thing in the mornig tomarrow!
05:13:05ddaltonTMM: but don't they have to go to someone who wants to start the port?

05:16:49webguest44i have another question i just downloaded a folder from rockbox called rockbox-bleeding can some one plz tell me what thats for?
05:17:03webguest44>TMM: Thank You!
05:17:25TMMwebguest44: that's the sourcecode to the latest version of rockbox, if you are not a developer, you might want to go for the binary builds
05:17:38webguest44oh..
05:18:08ddaltonwebguest44: rockbox-bleeding is the source code.
05:18:23alienbiker99wow the usb stack kinda works on the sansa, my computer recognized it as Rockbox serial driver but thats it. its cool though.
05:18:23webguest44how or where do you guys usually get the data sheets?
05:18:24ddaltonI usually check out from svn though.
05:18:51TMMwebguest44: usually we don't, actually, but usually the manufacturer doesn't go out it's way as much as apple does to prevent us from writing code for their devices
05:19:16ddaltona number of beniforts: -easy to create a diff -easy to update -easy to revert your changes -And there is svn info
05:19:26TMMwebguest44: we don't get any HELP, but apple's the only one that I know of that actually actively tries to stop us :)
05:19:46webguest44lol!!
05:20:20TMMwebguest44: so, specs would be good
05:20:32ddaltonTMM: So apple know about rockbox? And the do everything they can to stop our development? If so do they spend lots of time and research on writing secure fw
05:20:58alienbiker99not just rockbox though, theres also ipod linux that they might want to stop

05:21:57webguest44why does apple try to stop you guy's from doing this is it illegal? i mean, you guy's paid for your ipod so once you pay its yours and can do what ever you want to do to it.
05:22:04TMMddalton: I'm not sure it's specifically about rockbox, might be some DRM measures or something... however, apple's doing their best to make it hard to run your own code on them, which is a bit arrogant imho, I mean, you buy the device, you SHOULD be able to run your own code on it imho

05:24:33ddaltonLike how can I find a song on my ipod using the apple firmware I can't. What about if I want to change a setting I can't.
05:24:39webguest44it was PC something?
05:24:41ddaltonwith rockbox I can do this fine
05:25:14ddaltonAnd itunes is just about 100% not accessible. But im sure apple don't really care
05:25:20TMMddalton: I think you are preaching to the chore here :)
05:25:29webguest44apple shouldn't try to stop you guy's . You guy's are actually helping them sell more!!
05:25:34webguest44:)
05:26:37ddaltonTMM: but think about it they are basically stopping blind users from having access to an ipod

05:40:14ddaltonrename it to english.voice and put it in .rockbox/langs make sure voice menus is on yes and you should here voicing of the menus

06:37:06TMMddalton: so do you have your computer read the drivel from the channel to you? or do you read it by braille?
06:37:07ddaltonyes but can't hook it up to this pc (no serial) so I will use it on linux once I get my machine
06:37:26ddaltonno I have to listen to it all
06:37:40sin613ha
06:37:52TMMddalton: dear god, doesn't that... suck? :)
06:38:08sin613it wouldn't suck if it were a sexy-sounding voice reading it all back
06:38:37sin613speaking of which, how difficult would it be to go about making a custom voice file?
06:38:42ddaltonyes especially with all the rubbish that is on here sometimes
06:38:46ddaltonnot very hard
06:38:56ddaltonsin613
06:38:59maxkelleyheh. for a moment, I thought blind=deaf, and thought "wait, why are you helping a project for digital audio players if you cannot hear it anywho?
06:39:01TMMsin613: I'd find it disturbing to think that someone is listening to my drivel in a sexy female voice
06:39:26maxkelleythat's what I get for being up late.
06:39:30ddaltonno it is a computer voice and it sounds like a guy.
06:39:42sin613but maybe the intention is to make people that know you're listening to the sexy voice feel uneasy
06:39:55ddaltonmaybe
06:40:11sin613anyhow, a sexy female voice for the rockbox menus would be nice
06:40:16maxkelleygoodnight.
06:40:22ddaltonit compiled now the question is "Will it work?"

06:42:09ddaltonit reads it as we would speak it. but in the text editor I use for programming I have it say "commer" and speak it all out.

06:43:52webguest94will the rockbox support the sansa c240?
06:44:15ddaltonsin613: can you test a patch for me?
06:44:23sin613i'd test... but mine is sitting just out of arm's reach. i'd need to stand up to get it. i know you'll understand.
06:44:30sin613j/k
06:44:32sin613sure

06:45:31ddaltonit is from ddalton (me!)
06:45:32sin613that sucks. i bought 10 of them two januarys ago

06:45:47sin613one for me, one for my wife

06:59:22sin613attempting to apply it. i've never used patches before, so i have no idea why the patch utility is telling me it can't find the file to patch
07:00
07:00:03ddaltonfrom a shell in your sorce root type: patch -p0 < study_mode.patch or .diff what ever it is called.
07:00:14ddaltondid you get the one from the last comment?

07:01:19jmspeexHi, is it just me or a lot of info disappeared from your website?
07:01:22sin613yeah, it did
07:01:27sin613running make now
07:01:32ddaltonok
07:01:54ddaltonso you don't use patches? then how do you get the new features?
07:01:58ddaltonthat patches have
07:02:05jmspeexI'm trying to get more info on supported players, so I can make a decision and I can't find anything beyond "we support X, Y and X".
07:02:37jmspeexCan anyone recommend a player that can actually be bought today.
07:02:39sin613i just use svn
07:02:54ddaltonso you just the normal build?
07:02:59ddaltonuse the normal build
07:03:04ddaltonwith no changes?
07:03:07sin613yeah, i've only started poking around in the source
07:03:12sin613no, i make changes
07:03:23sin613but it's mainly to familiarize myself with the source
07:03:34sin613i'm at 15006, this patch didn't cleanly apply
07:03:48ddaltonok because there are some good patches and if you just compile a clean svn build you my as well get the build from the rb site
07:04:08ddaltonsin613: where did it fail?
07:05:09sin613oh f. it's not your patch, it's something else
07:05:25ddaltonok
07:05:41sin613rockbox/build/librockbox.a(pcm.o):(.bss+0x10): multiple definition of `pcm_paused'
07:06:11sin613i know the pcm code was changed today
07:06:17***Saving seen data "./dancer.seen"
07:06:42ddaltonwhat was changed?
07:10:39sin613i think i just needed to make clean
07:13:27ddaltondoes anyone know what is displayed on the screen when the charger is removed?
07:14:17sin613is there any reason why almost every single codec has it's own mdct/idct/fft? wouldn't it make more sense to pull those algorithms into a single library of algorithms to simplify making target-specific code?
07:15:49TMMaren't they all slightly different implementations?
07:16:27sin613what would the differences be? how the output is quantized?
07:17:08ddaltonsin613: did your build compile?
07:17:27sin613making right now
07:17:57sin613sorry, i wanted to make sure the clean source would build before i tried building with the patch again
07:18:05TMMsin613: I don't really know, I thought there are slightly different ways of doing the transformations
07:18:36ddaltonok you don't need to type make clean when you go to apply my patch just make
07:18:36sin613yeah, mdct is different from idct, but fft gives results that can be quantized back to dct/idct
07:18:46sin613ddalton: done, testing
07:18:49TMMsin613: I didn't know that :)
07:18:51sin613tell me what i'm looking for
07:18:54ddaltonand it works fine here actually I might be using r 15000
07:19:11ddaltonis my patch in that build?
07:19:14sin613but there are still multiple implementations of mdct in the source
07:19:19sin613ddalton: yes, it built fine
07:20:08ddaltonok when you go to the wps and tap power what happens?
07:20:29sin613copying the build to my player, just a minute
07:21:56ddaltonok
07:22:11*ddalton that reminds ddalton of something
07:22:21sin613it just seems like it would make sense for a library of common existing algorithms for a/v codecs be centralized so people don't spend time re-implementing
07:24:13sin613ddalton: i heard a voice say "on", i believe
07:24:27sin613and track advance is disabled
07:24:30sin613so it works
07:24:41sin613how do i turn it back off? another short 'power'?

07:25:14lymecaHow do I play video with Rockbox?
07:25:31ddaltonlymeca: the mpeg player plugin
07:25:36sin613ddalton: when it was "on" i couldn't skip tracks
07:25:49sin613that was the patches intention, wasn't it?
07:25:53lymecaAh that would make sense that the decoding software not be distributed with ROckbox proper
07:26:06lymecaDoes Rockbox at least ship with decoding support for Theora?
07:26:14sin613no
07:26:32sin613only mpeg video at the moment
07:26:40sin613and it's in the earlier-ish stages
07:28:07sin613ddalton: is there anything else about this patch i should test?
07:28:08lymecaah
07:28:32lymecasin613: Where can I download the mpeg decoder plugin?
07:28:41lymecaIt can decode MPEG-1 through MPEG-4 right?
07:28:41sin613ddalton: wait, you're right... it jumps 5 seconds. i must've pressed the button right when the backlight kicked in or something
07:28:53sin613no, it can decoce 1 and 2 i think
07:28:55sin613decode
07:28:56lymecaCan it decode both MPEG-4 ASP and MPEG-4 AVC?
07:29:03lymecaAw no MPEG-4?
07:29:16sin613it's an included plugin
07:29:24sin613no mpeg-4. i wish
07:29:28lymecaHow do I access it?
07:29:30sin613maybe some day
07:29:39sin613you play an mpeg video file
07:29:45sin613just like you'd play an mp3
07:29:53lymecaMy AVIs don't show up in 'Files'
07:30:08sin613needs to be mpeg
07:30:30lymecathats silly
07:30:39lymecaYou can put MPEG-2 video into an AVI container
07:30:49lymecaWhy can't Rockbox recognise AVI files?
07:31:05sin613there's the problem, i don't think mpegplayer was written to read AVI containers
07:31:17sin613it was written to play mpeg files
07:31:26TMMhence the name ;)
07:31:43sin613otherwise movieplayer would have been a better choice for a name
07:31:51ddaltonthanks for testing it
07:31:56sin613no problem, ddalton

07:33:28ddaltondon't worry about it all it is meant to do is change a setting and speak it. If it changed the setting it will voice it as well
07:33:37sin613dunno, where is that file?

09:20:10ddaltonyep well I think it is good. It is all to do with voice.
09:20:18ddaltonso it should be in talk.c not main_menu.c
09:20:58ddaltonand then it is good that you can call the time function from anywhere and just need to give the argument true or false to have "current time" voiced or not.
09:22:30ddaltonJdGordon: just an idea I had would a quick menu for blind users be excepted? Maybe a long press of rec? it might contain "time and battery" "volume" "voice" and what ever else might be used
09:22:41ddaltonby blind users.
09:22:56ddaltonand then if voice menus was off a long rec would do what it does now

10:10:16JdGordonoh? they dont
10:10:23JdGordonok, in it goes then
10:10:41GregorHollmigmoin morn
10:11:14GregorHollmigI've got a problem with installing Rockbox on my Sansa E280
10:11:24amiconnJdGordon: yes?
10:11:29GregorHollmigMight so helpme?
10:11:35JdGordondont worry, n1s just fixed me up
10:12:01ddaltonit doesn't matter if it is hwcodec it just moves the original speaking of the time to a function in talk.c. You would need access still to talk.c for it to work from main_menu.c
10:12:14ddaltonfor functions like talk_id
10:14:01GregorHollmigI just installed the Bootloader on my Sansa, then I unplugged it. The problem is, that the original Firmware doesn't start somehow.
10:14:16amiconnGrr, that warning in cfft.c is really a gcc bug
10:14:53JdGordondo they know about it?
10:15:12amiconnIt does complain no matter how I cast the pointer, but if I pass (const complex_t*)NULL it doesn't complain
10:16:01ddaltonJdGordon: what change did you make?
10:16:21JdGordonread my comment
10:17:01GregorHollmigAnyone here to help me?
10:17:36ddaltonGregorHollmig: what with
10:17:51JdGordonamiconn: as nasy as it is.. what about just cast it to void*?
10:18:15amiconn[10:15:12] <amiconn> It does complain no matter how I cast the pointer <== that included a cast to void*
10:18:23JdGordonoh, ouch :p
10:18:57ddaltonJdGordon: like what sort of times?
10:19:00GregorHollmigSince I Installed the Sansa Bootloader on my Sansa E280 two hours ago I cannot boot theold Firmware
10:19:24JdGordonddalton: it can now talk any time oyu would want.. so you maniupulatate the tm structr before passing it in
10:19:40ddaltonso what arguments would it take?

10:47:24Bagderthat would certainly help, yes

11:07:35RedbrevaFolks, general opinion on a recently submitted theme for rockbox-themes: It's a remake of "iPod Simple" but "It uses the original iPod images extracted from the apple firmware" - does that make it a no-go for submission?
11:09:09RedbrevaAfter all you can't CC licence Apples original icons can you...
11:10:12n1sRedbreva: that's pretty much a text book example of copyright violation
11:12:10RedbrevaDaft thing is, I can't see any major difference from the iPod Simple theme it's based on - which has original 'Look Alike' graphics !
11:13:19ddaltonjdgordon: what is wrong with a configurable rec button?
11:13:59TanuvaRedbreva: but its a difference to draw the images by hand or to extract them from the firmware
11:14:53JdGordonddalton: 1) we dont want configurable buttons in rockbox, 2) rec button is already in use
11:14:58RedbrevaExactly, so as the 'drawn' ones are so good - why go to the trouble to 'rip' the original ones with all the possible problems that could bring?
11:15:31GregorHollmigI'm so happy^^... after creating a sansa.fmt File on the 16MB Drive he formatted and now I see the old Firmware
11:15:48TanuvaRedbreva: to be able to say "they're the originals" - but that doesnt help you getting it submitted
11:15:51GregorHollmigi think i'm gonna try to install RockBox again with the Bootloader o.2
11:15:53GregorHollmig:-)
11:15:57GregorHollmigthx 4 your help!
11:16:50ddaltonJdGordon: why don't we want configurable buttons in rockbox?

11:22:30slynki've got a little question.
11:22:46slynkabout rockbox themes for iaudio X5
11:23:33slynki dont know what im doing wrong but i can get the "now playing" page to show any changes except for the background picture.
11:24:48slynkthe menu is amazing with little icons and everything, but im looking at the screen shot of what the "now playing" screen is ment to look like, and my iaudio doesn't look anything like that
11:25:22zichoperhaps the theme needs a custom build or a patch for rockbox
11:25:23slynkits just got this white db meter.. and some shoody text..
11:25:33n1sslynk: the wps file in the there is either broken or needs patches
11:25:52slynkhmm well i've tried 2 different themes..
11:26:10slynki figured it must have been something i was doing wrong...
11:26:18slynkwhat kind od patches??

12:31:33linuxstbDefineByte: I don't understand either - I just applied your patch, and get the same problem.
12:31:44Conspirator45where do i put fonts on rockbox?
12:32:00TanuvaConspirator45: /.rockbox/fonts
12:33:52linuxstbDefineByte: Hmm, changing the opening quote before Autodetect on line 145 fixed it for me...
12:34:05linuxstb(changing to a backtick)
12:35:04Conspirator45im using a build that doesnt have that folder. can i just add it?
12:35:14DefineBytei've already done that (as I said) and I get nothing. Okay, I'll try again. grr. I must be missing something obvious.
12:36:03TanuvaConspirator45: yes
12:36:17Tanuvait wasnt there for me, too. created it and it just works ;)
12:36:25linuxstbDefineByte: I could upload my copy of installation.tex

14:35:06Crash91its very simple
14:35:06Crash91basically
14:35:28Crash91you just replace the original sansa software with the rockbox loader
14:35:55 Quit barrywardell ()
14:35:57Crash91the loader checks at startup if youre holding the |<< key, if so then it goes into the sansa FW
14:36:05bobboso just make a backup of the original firmware files replace them with Rockbox's and im away?
14:36:10Crash91otherwise it loads rockbox from an image on disk
14:36:16Crash91not exactly
14:36:29Crash91i advise you to read the manual on the rockbox page and also
14:36:34Crash91youll have to do several things
14:36:42DefineBytethe manual isn't very good in this area
14:37:04darksaboteurIs the H300 bootloader stable at the moment?
14:37:13Crash91first, you need to obtain the mi4 version of the sansa firmware and decrypt it.....it sounds tricky but simple if you follow instructions..
14:37:14bobboill give the manual a go and come back if i need any more help :D
14:37:26Crash91sure ;)

15:05:24BigBambiHave a look at the fine manual, it tells you all
15:05:32SlasheriLear: either close operation should block until dircache is built and the new filesize and startcluster needs to be cached as well
15:05:42bobboGOd i love RockBox
15:06:28***Saving seen data "./dancer.seen"
15:06:41*Crash91 finsihed doom then brickmania, then bubbles, then got bored
15:06:49Crash91lol
15:06:59LearSlasheri: Block close wouldn't be very nice, as the nvram.bin file is updated a couple of times during boot, it seems. Looks like that from the sim at least.
15:07:04SlasheriLear: i will check if it's possible to extend the caching
15:07:27BigBambibobbo: The only downside is on newer portalplayer units battery life is down a bit owing to undocumented hardware. On other units, battery life is longer than the OF
15:07:40Slasheriprobably a second cache for closed fds (with just startcluster and size) should do it
15:08:50bobboBigBambi: I keep mine plugged in to charge whenever im not using it, not really that much of a problem unless im on a school trip or something
15:09:01BigBambibobbo: No worries then
15:10:17Crash91isnt it about 5-6 hours compared to 15hours in the OF?
15:10:34BigBambiCrash91: Most people report 10+ on Sansa
15:10:38*Crash91 wonders when USB will be enabled...
15:10:44Crash91well i never tried =P
15:10:45BigBambiWhen someone writes it
15:10:54BigBambiIt isn't a case of enabling it
15:10:59Crash91i know
15:11:07Crash91the stack driver?
15:11:10BigBambiIt will be done when it is done
15:11:19Crash91i read about the sending 0s thing lol
15:14:05*Bagder talked to Zagor about USB yday
15:14:21Bagderhe intends to basically do it all over
15:14:39Crash91hmm, well i wish i knew C
15:14:49Bagderand unfortunately, I think that's the only sane approach
15:14:55BigBambiBagder: I hope Google will pay him :)
15:15:01Crash91damn......
15:15:06linuxstbBagder: Do we know how close austriancoder is? Or are you basically not happy with the whole approach? (Zagor's mentioned his thoughts in IRC recently).
15:15:28Bagderhis approach is basically copy and paste from linux
15:15:41Bagderand it doesn't work and is much more complicated that what we need/want
15:16:03Crash91yeah....PC and sansa are completely diff platforms.....
15:16:04linuxstbBut couldn't that be useful if we wanted to port more drivers from Linux?
15:16:12Bagdernot really
15:16:20BigBambiCrash91: It isn't just Sansa
15:16:33Bagderthe linux way is too flexible and structs with function pointers all over
15:16:34Tanuvawhat else would you want to port?
15:17:02Bagderthe better approach is to focus on what we want/need and get that done, first
15:17:04BigBambiTanuva: Depends on future platforms hardware capabilities
15:17:06Crash91btw guys, any wild hope of RB on the iPod Touch/iPhone?
15:17:13BagderCrash91: no
15:17:20Crash91if that ever happened i would wet myself

15:17:39 Quit Temik ("Leaving")
15:17:42Crash91=P
15:18:03linuxstbBagder: I wouldn't argue - I've always found that Rockbox needs code written specifically for Rockbox in order to work well...
15:18:31Bagderyeah, I think we should get a working core first, then extend it when we need to
15:18:46Bagderrather than to build a complex infrastructure to start with
15:18:47Crash91arent the iPod video and sansa both based on the same kinda architecture of PP chips? why not learn from the ipod...
15:18:53BigBambiIt seems silly to overcomplicate for hypothetical future situations
15:19:00BigBambiCrash91: tHE I

15:19:35Crash91damn
15:19:40BigBambiIt automatically reboots into Apple Disk Mode
15:19:55linuxstbCrash91: All the PP targets share code with each other - as soon as one of them gets a USB mode, they will all have it.
15:20:25Crash91yep, exactly what i thought...thats why the c200 took only 2-3months to port
15:20:51linuxstbBagder: So is Zagor intending to work on it?
15:20:54Bagderyes
15:21:30linuxstbIt's good to see him back ;)
15:21:45Bagderyeah, finally we manage to lure him out from his cave
15:21:47BigBambiIt is time for the master toteach the young padawans how to do it :)

15:23:57linuxstbmarkun: So what did you learn?
15:25:32Crash91does/will rockbox support somethnig like MTP mode on the sansa
15:25:54krazykitCrash91, no, why would you want MTP? MSC is a better way of diong it
15:26:02BigBambiWhy would we?
15:26:02linuxstbCrash91: It doesn't, and I doubt it ever will.
15:26:20BagderMTP is just... silly
15:26:25BigBambiLets make an open source firmware and tie it to WMP
15:26:34krazykitor libmpt
15:26:37krazykitmtp
15:26:45Crash91well...does rockbox have to restart after transferring files like the OF?
15:26:52linuxstbNo
15:26:56Crash91ah
15:27:00linuxstbWhy would it/
15:27:01linuxstb?
15:27:07TanuvaCrash91: but you might mave to update the database
15:27:10Crash91database or something....
15:27:30BigBambiI don't use the database
15:27:33Crash91my biggest gripe with the sansa firmware is that it force updates it
15:27:46BigBambiBut even if you do auto update will do it in the background
15:28:29Tanuvathe only thing thats annoying about the db at the moment is that it cant sort tracks by id3-track or -cd number
15:28:45markunlinuxstb: we'll talk about it when we get back I think
15:28:45BigBambiIt will do it by track number fine
15:28:59markunit's really early now and we plan to visit SF in an hour
15:29:17TanuvaBigBambi: hu? in the wiki it says it can only sort by numbers preceding the file names
15:29:25BigBambiCustomConfig
15:29:47BigBambiOr maybe I am confusing filtering with sorting
15:29:54BigBambiOne mo, I'll try and check

15:36:29Crash91dont worry it isnt bricked..
15:36:38Bagder"bricked my OF" is a really strange term...

17:36:20bobboi might be able to help, just brand new to rockbox though....
17:36:23pixelmajust ask
17:36:30advcomp2019webguest65, you can just say your questions :)
17:36:49webguest65In the manual, in the install section, it is somewhat ambigious. It states that the rockbox boot loader replaces the sansa one. Does this mean that when I delete it, I will nolonger be able to boot?
17:37:11bobboboot into the original firmware?
17:37:30webguest65Yes, sort of as it was when I bought it.
17:37:55bobboyes, when you turn it on your press the left button and it will boot the original
17:38:23webguest65Um, I mean, when I delete the rockbox bootloader, does it leave the sansa bootloader intact?
17:40:33webguest65It stated it "directly replaces the original bootloader" in the manual.
17:40:45pixelmayou can't just delete the bootloader - but you can exchange it back so to speak
17:41:00webguest65Could you please explain?
17:42:09bobboi think i did it earlier when i used the wrong bootloader, you reboot in recovery mode and put the original bootloader back in, simple as that (i think)
17:42:28webguest65How would one accomplish that?
17:42:55bobboboot into Recovery Mode? Which player do you have?
17:43:27webguest65Sansa c250, and I really mean, how would I restore the original bootloader?
17:43:48bobboyou either back it up or download it from somewhere else
17:44:26 Quit bobbo ("Lost terminal")
17:44:26webguest65Soory ofr my ignorance, but how would I back it up?
17:44:46pixelmahmm... you need the bootloader which in turn will load the firmware. If you want to use Rockbox you need a new one (the Rockbox bootloader) which let's you either use the original firmware or Rockbox. If you want to go back to the original state you can uninstall the Rockbox bootloader (with the same tool) and you'll get the Sansa bootloader again
17:45:18webguest65Thankyou for clearing that up. I appreciate it.

20:58:17DefineByteRockbox also provides an 'iPod bootloader' so I'm not sure about referring to the original as such.
20:59:38Domonokyhow about "original bootloader" ?
20:59:51Tanuvawhich page?

21:00:08DefineByteinstallation
21:00:09*linuxstb has already voted for Apple
21:00:16DefineByte:)
21:01:00DefineByte'original bootloader' is certainly one to consider.
21:01:12DefineByteI'm not sure though
21:01:20spiorf"apple" bootloader is also explicative
21:01:29linuxstbIt would make it easier in the manual - same phrase for every target...
21:01:29spiorfis not rockbox's one
21:01:33spiorfis apple's one
21:02:11DefineByteDoes every target use the original bootloader in some way?
21:02:48linuxstbNo, not every target.
21:02:58Tanuvamaybe basic bootloader?
21:03:07DefineBytedon't think so
21:03:27DefineBytebasic doesn't tell you anything
21:03:53bobboIs there a plugin for Rockbox that can play XviD/DivX Avi's?
21:04:07DefineByteheh, no

21:04:17BigBambiAs per the wiki page
21:04:24bobbothanks
21:04:43Tanuvathought it could fit in because its the first bootloader to load the rockbox/apple one..

21:06:35BigBambiyep

21:07:05DefineByteMaybe he has an opinion on it (hell, maybe he decided on 'Ipod bootloader')
21:08:10linuxstbI think the problem is that the "playerman" macro is defined to be "ipod" and not "Apple".

21:12:12DefineBytehmm maybe they do

21:13:10DefineBytemy brain is frazzled apparently
21:13:16Tanuvaor the playerfam is simply null if playerman is archos? but I dont know how that works exactly :)
21:13:28DefineBytewe liking 'Apple' then?
21:13:46Tanuvame, at least
21:14:54DefineByteit would be playerman = archos playerfam = ondio playermod (model) = SP, or something

21:28:38linuxstbBut yes, as the installation is getting more and more automatic, maybe it could be argued that it can be removed.

22:49:09rasheramiconn: have you tried the old infrared thermometer trick with the ipods?
22:49:34amiconnNope, because it won't help
22:49:44rasherFigure it'll just be the main chip?
22:50:06DefineByte\rightarrow seems to have some quite strange side effects
22:50:07jhMikeSamiconn: just keeping that one there for messing around until all get converted
22:50:12amiconnThe PP is an SoC, in the H300 the battery drainer was a separate chip
22:50:13rasher(I don't really remember how the ipod guts look)
22:50:51amiconnjhMikeS: Ah ok. A comment would have been helpful imho

22:51:56n1sDefineByte: ah, right, didn't remember that
22:52:12rasheramiconn: yeah, that's what I meant.. I guess I just figured on the off-chance that the problem was outside the pp chip
22:52:18DefineByteno harm no foul :)
22:52:22jhMikeSamiconn: It's probably just going to be a setup like e200, one like H10, and one for PP5002. e200 may in fact just be able to use the same FIFO format as H10 since it didn't show any change for values 4-7.
22:52:41amiconnjhMikeS: Different Q - in the assembler yuv routine, you used up to r12. Iirc I could use r13 too?

22:55:05amiconnMeh, for the color bridge and ipod video, the function will look different anyway
22:55:30jhMikeSTrying to keep it unified as much as possible?
22:55:51amiconn(not possible to output double-lines like for memory-mapped and c200)
22:56:09 Part DefineByte
22:56:31jhMikeSMight be worth saving chromas to a line buffer then?
22:57:14amiconnHmm, perhaps it will be possible to do it for the color bridge - it just feeds an ordinary lcd controller after all. If that allows to set the update direction and frame, it will be possible
22:57:25 Join soapsuckedmydick [0] (n=erer@68.118.181.77)
22:57:38*amiconn should port the double-line method to X5 and H300
22:58:19amiconnAnd we need the darn asm idct plus iram opts...
22:58:57 Part soapsuckedmydick
22:58:59amiconnThe question is what needs more cpu - saving the chroma or recalculating it
22:59:10jhMikeShow do you do double-line on x5 and h300?
22:59:19amiconnSame way as on c200
22:59:41amiconnSet the update direction in the controller to vertical, and the update window height to 2 pixels
22:59:42jhMikeSon ARM, recalculating is definetely more expensive than loading cached data
23:00
23:00:50jhMikeSah, yes. but then you have to change the window every two lines. isn't that sort of costly?
23:01:00amiconnnah
23:01:12amiconnJust 2 lcd commands
23:01:32amiconnThat's still less than all the data writes
23:02:03amiconnIn fact it might be just one command, depending on how the controller works
23:02:31jhMikeShmmm...probably pretty cheap then
23:02:45amiconnCheck out my last commit (yuv for c200) - it already implements the idea
23:03:14amiconnThe calculation code is heavily borrowed from your e200/gigabeat implementation, just some registers changed
23:03:24amiconn...and the actual write is different
23:03:40linuxstbamiconn: What FPS are you getting on the c200 in mpegplayer?
23:03:54amiconnNo skips with elephants dream
23:04:07linuxstbSo the full 24fps?
23:04:09jhMikeSthe double line method has good cache coherency and is really good for dither
23:04:13amiconn(using the widescreen version originally made for ipod mini)
23:05:02amiconn144x80, height is perfect match and width is the smallest that covers the lcd width

23:19:21ClausterphobicGuWhere? To iTunes?
23:19:35n1sto the ipod
23:19:51ClausterphobicGuOkay... So is there an app for it?
23:19:51linuxstbTo anywhere on the disk - most people create a top-level folder called "Music" and put their music in a sensible folder structure in there.
23:20:06ClausterphobicGuOkay
23:20:07linuxstbWindows Explorer...
23:20:30ClausterphobicGuCause iTunes makes really weird names for the music in these folders labelled 01 and stuff with names like HSUE
23:20:36ClausterphobicGuThanks
23:20:54ClausterphobicGuAnd for games I created a directory called Gameboy and I put the stuff in there
23:21:02ClausterphobicGuI can access and play it right?
23:21:18ClausterphobicGuOh, and are there other games I can put on it...
23:21:21linuxstbYes, via the "Files" menu.
23:21:26ClausterphobicGuSorry, I'm brand new to Rockbox
23:21:35linuxstbWe have a fine manual...

23:32:47webguest03I had an idea, but it is not working. I wanted to run linux on my c250, using the GameBoy port and running it in the rockbox emulator. The image does not show up in the file browser. It is a .bin image. Am I doing anything wrong?
23:33:09Bagderlinux on your c250?
23:33:15webguest03yeah.
23:33:42Bagderyou mean you use it as a disk to hold your linux installation for a PC?
23:34:18webguest03Nope, there is a GBA ROM image on the net. I thought that it could be run inside the rockbox gameboy emulator on the c250.
23:34:33Bagderthere is no linux for the c250

23:38:44linuxstbAnd your commit said there is still more optimisation potential?
23:39:06amiconnThere's not much more to gain. A bit would be gained by moving the output of the second byte a bit back, around halfway towards the next pair
23:39:57amiconnThis way the time waiting for the bridge to be ready would be used too. Atm that's only done for the first byte of each pixel

23:46:02amiconnlinuxstb: It may be that moving the output of the 2nd byte doesn't help - if the bridge is so slow that the complete calculation is already covered by the 1st wait
