#rockbox log for 2007-10-17

00:01:38amiconnPutting the whole decoder struct in IRAM doesn't help... at least not when sacrificing map_frame_overlap being in iram for that
00:02:19preglowjhMikeS: oy?
00:02:34amiconnpreglow: Would you happen to know which part of libmad profits least from using iram? (preferably a large part - need to free at least 1.2KB on X5 and 17.2KB on H300)
00:03:01preglowamiconn: no
00:03:10jhMikeSpreglow: ?yo
00:03:12preglowamiconn: 17.2 kb????
00:03:14preglowjhMikeS: had a look at fs #7972
00:03:19preglow?
00:03:32jhMikeSlooking
00:03:34amiconnObviously the whole libmpeg2 decoder struct needs that much...
00:04:39jhMikeSI wonder why that's coming up suddenly
00:04:43 Join BigBambi__ [0] (n=Alex@86.66.198.150)
00:04:54keanuquestion (well, two) - once USB support is added, would the bootloader still boot the OF when the USB cable is attached, or only on <<|? Second - will SD(HC) cards be readable right when it's ready, or will that take a few more days/weekS?
00:05:24preglowkeanu: when usb support is added, we'll pretty much never boot of voluntarily
00:05:37keanupreglow, 'k
00:06:26Zagorkeanu: the card slot won't be supported in the first version

00:07:16bluebrotherZagor: will it be easy to extend it to the Ipods?
00:07:20keanuZagor, ok, thanks for confirming ;)
00:07:25jac0bif you want the original images (which are pretty big) just let me know
00:07:39preglowjhMikeS: i'll just leave that entry to you, should just be a quick commit anywa
00:07:58Zagorbluebrother: I should think so, yes
00:08:08bluebrothercool :)
00:08:08jhMikeSpreglow: now I'm wondering if that the _real_ problem

00:08:54jhMikeShehe...sure. I'm just saying.
00:09:12kugelhow's usb working?
00:09:59jhMikeSticks me off that GCC never warned about that occuring
00:10:03keanukugel, getting there ;)
00:10:14amiconnOk, I think I'll settle with just putting the idct block in iram. We can always improve further
00:10:23bluebrotherusb works by transmitting data over a cable :P
00:10:33keanukugel, as pointed out a few mins ago, the card slot won't work yet
00:10:35kugelhehe, nice one
00:10:37keanubluebrother, heh
00:10:51kugelkeanu: did i ask for that?! ;)
00:11:07keanukugel, you said how's it coming...
00:11:12bluebrotherit uses differential signals
00:11:36bluebrotherkeanu: he asked how it's _working_, hence my "explanation" ;-)
00:11:51keanubluebrother, I know ;)
00:12:03kugelguys, i meant, how is the progress of getting usb to work!?
00:12:09*amiconn awards jhMikeS the title "red delta king of the month" :\
00:12:09kugel-?
00:12:31keanukugel, getting there ;)
00:12:38keanukugel, as pointed out a few mins ago, the card slot won't work yet
00:12:42kugellol
00:12:47preglowbut such pretty red deltas!
00:12:53bluebrotherkeanu: you're repeating yourself :)
00:12:56amiconnmrf
00:12:59*preglow looks forward to preemptive multitasking :>:>
00:13:09keanubluebrother, I know ;) oh wait - even that'd be repeating...
00:13:18jhMikeSthose can't be right

00:14:22keanubluebrother, FS#?
00:14:35jhMikeSpreglow: that'll just burn my butt if if that's the real trouble SWP has been having. OTOH, I'll be happy as well to be able to use it. Will test.
00:15:07kugelkeanu: 7962
00:15:15preglowjhMikeS: i'll laugh myself to death if so :>
00:15:17keanukugel, thanks
00:15:58amiconnjhMikeS: Moving data out of iram means red delta (because dram usage increases), and moving code into iram also means red delta (calling code gets larger because calls to iram are longcalls)
00:16:21*bluebrother was too slow once again ...
00:16:27amiconnmpegplayer is very usable now on X5 :)
00:16:46jhMikeSamiconn: there's not that many calls. seems excessive.
00:18:14jhMikeSpreglow: I'll laugh too and then go whack those GCC guys over the head. :P

00:19:58preglowwell
00:20:10preglowit would be weird if only those targets were affected anyway
00:20:18preglowi guess they could have a different arm core
00:21:22jhMikeSI think it's weird but that is listed as UNPREDICTABLE in the docs so I guess that mean it may or may not work too.
00:21:58preglowyeah

00:30:18barrywardellIn that case, feel free to close if it's not going to be useful any more
00:30:54Zagorlets keep it until the usb code goes into svn
00:32:58rasherIf anyone knowledgable about libxml, perl, xml could have a look at http://pastebin.com/m389aa2b1 and http://pastebin.com/m6d6cc351 and explain why I'm getting latin-1, I'd be ever so grateful
00:34:44jac0bmarkun: did you take a look?
00:36:05 Quit bluebrother ("sleep")
00:37:23Zagorrasher: have you read the perluniintro and perlunicode man pages? some useful info there.
00:37:49preglowjhMikeS: sooooo?
00:38:15rasherZagor: No.. I guess I should
00:38:42rasherI have a sneaking suspicion that perl is trying to be smart at me
00:39:14Zagoryou are probably right. a quick test is to add "use encoding 'utf8';" to the top of your script
00:40:10jhMikeSpreglow: nope, all lock. test_queue won't run now
00:40:11markundo we need a mi4 key to boot rockbox on a portalplayer device or just for disassembling the OF?
00:40:22rasherZagor: woo!
00:40:27rasherAnd also, boo
00:40:33preglowjhMikeS: won't run??
00:40:37markunjac0b: yes, I did
00:40:42jhMikeSjust freezes up
00:40:48barrywardellmarkun: for decrypting the of
00:41:07barrywardellso we can boot an encrypted of if we know the key
00:41:24barrywardelland we can decrypt it for disassembly too
00:41:25*jhMikeS hasn't need a paperclip for awhile for H10 and lost it
00:41:34preglowjhMikeS: as in worse than before?
00:42:08jhMikeSthe same I think. it runs a few seconds then freezes.
00:42:38jhMikeSI guess that verifies again that swp is actually broken
00:42:39preglowshrugshrug
00:42:50preglowpatch should be commited anyway, yeah?
00:43:06saratogabarrywardell: did you write up the procedure for removing the sandisk bootloader on the e200 anywhere?
00:43:28jhMikeSI think so. Let me test e200
00:43:33barrywardellsaratoga: no, I can if you think it would be useful? It's very straightforward
00:43:47jhMikeSor did you test nano already?
00:43:54preglowno
00:44:10jhMikeSok, have to make for that
00:44:12markunbarrywardell: I was asking because of this: http://forums.rockbox.org/index.php?topic=13282.0
00:44:18jhMikeSfor e200 that is
00:44:24saratogabarrywardell: well it didn't sound hard, but if I botch this, i do need to use recovery mode right?

00:44:59barrywardelle200tool recover is needed if things go wrong
00:45:08barrywardellit happened to me and I was able to recover fine
00:45:08saratogabarrywardell: alright, sounds easy enough
00:45:10preglowjhMikeS: i figured it woldn't really change much
00:45:36jhMikeSit shouldn't change anything actually for any c code
00:46:21scorche|wsaratoga: heh...i totally forgot one could do that to the nanos (re: more storage)
00:46:21preglowif it tests fine on any of the targets that used to work, i don't think that small patch should matter on any of them
00:46:35scorche|wsaratoga: it added a new project to my list :)
00:46:47barrywardellmarkun: scanning for the key is easy with mi4code
00:46:53jhMikeSpreglow: if you want to commit feel free
00:47:11saratogascorche|w: yeah i know of one person who did, but soldering those chips looks really hard
00:47:17preglowjhMikeS: am in windows right now, can't
00:47:49jhMikeSokie
00:47:57scorche|wsaratoga: yeah, but i can do it if i take a few breaks...the key to that type of soldering is solder braid ;)
00:48:25saratogai never could
00:48:43scorche|wa good iron and tip helps too..
00:48:47saratogai remember screwing up moto HC11s in 40 pin DIP packages the size of my finger

00:51:45markundidn't find one
00:51:52barrywardellmarkun: yes, it can scan the bootloader for the key
00:52:18markunthere is non included with the firmware update. Should there be one on the player?
00:52:29barrywardellsaratoga: assuming nothing broke in the bootloader since I last looked (I'm thinking maybe the major scheduler changes?)
00:52:48saratogabarrywardell: nice to mention 1 second after i hit enter
00:53:12barrywardellsaratoga: you'll be able to recover anyway
00:53:20saratogaah well if i break it its karma for making fun of that guy who flashed his bootloader with a .patch file
00:53:28barrywardellhaha
00:53:36scorche|w=>
00:53:44preglowsomeone did that? :PP
00:53:55saratogayes
00:54:03saratogahis rom too, not bootloader i think
00:54:04preglowmarvelous
00:54:16scorche|wpreglow: our famous DWGR
00:54:19saratogathe bad one, whatever its called
00:54:22barrywardellhe should still be able to recover
00:54:29barrywardellthe i2c rom?
00:54:34saratogaalso, should sansapatcher take forever to do this? 2 minutes at 100% cpu
00:54:48preglowouch
00:54:49barrywardellsaratoga: no, it was almost instant for me
00:54:59barrywardellsaratoga: make sure you build a new sansapatcher
00:55:09barrywardellold versions lock up like that

00:55:30barrywardellsaratoga: yeah, kill it
00:55:52barrywardellsansapatcher seems to have a bug with unknown switches. it locks up like that
00:56:04barrywardelland I only added -bl a couple of days ago
00:56:08saratogais teh source included svn checkouts?
00:56:13barrywardellyeah
00:56:24barrywardellyou need to build a e200 and c200 bootloader
00:56:32barrywardellcopy the mi4 files to rbutil/sansapatcher
00:56:40barrywardellthen run make in rbutil/sansapatcher
00:57:02saratogai thought it was the .bin file?
00:57:22barrywardellmarkun: the bootloader is probably in flash, and the mi4 on the hdd
00:57:42barrywardellsaratoga: the mi4's are just needed for building sansapatcher
00:58:39preglowthis guy truly is the king of clueless
00:59:04markunbarrywardell: could we make a mi4 file to dump the flash?

01:05:33saratogamaybe 3 seconds to boot
01:05:52saratogatakes longer to spin up a disk on my 3g I think
01:05:56barrywardellsaratoga: I was working on adding the rockbox logo to the bootloader too. I think it would be a nice addition
01:06:05saratogayeah that would be cool
01:06:06CalcipherI use a sansa e280r, and am loving the experience, I also use extra large fonts and the voice menus
01:06:15barrywardellsaratoga: you wanna try the patch?
01:06:18preglowbarrywardell: logo in bootloader? why?
01:06:25preglowwe've cut that from all other bootloaders
01:06:36barrywardellbecause, otherwise we have just a blank screen
01:06:44barrywardellit would be compiled in
01:06:55saratogalogo makes sense on a flash player IMO, not like the disk access costs anything
01:06:57preglowwhy not do it like on ipod?
01:07:09preglowbootloader says nothing unless anything actually happens
01:07:19barrywardellbecause the ipod already has the apple logo shown
01:07:27preglowtrue
01:07:29barrywardellon the sansa, we'll just have a blank screen
01:07:33preglowfor how long?
01:07:37barrywardelland it won't cost anything
01:07:43saratogapreglow: about 1 second i guess
01:07:43barrywardellpractically
01:07:53preglowthen please make a new rockbox logo while you're at it :>
01:07:58saratogamore like 2 seconds
01:08:16saratogayes a low res logo would be nice
01:08:18CalcipherAnyone know if there is a 90 degree display rotate rotate capability using rockbox on a e200?
01:08:19saratogai want one for the default theme
01:08:26preglowthe current one really does lack style

01:08:43saratogaCalcipher: not going to work too well on a non square screen
01:08:57rasherLet me restate my praise for the logo used for the "H300 experimental build"
01:09:01 Quit BigMac ("Leaving")
01:09:08barrywardellyou also need to copy apps/bitmaps to bootloader
01:09:18Calcipherreally, I thought that it might be nice since the larger fonts wouldnt have to scroll as much
01:09:37saratogai can try it later though
01:09:37saratogabarrywardell: sorry, i'm not at the computer that can run sansapatcher anymore
01:09:42Calcipherlike only in the rockbox menus, for easier reading
01:09:54preglowrasher: it is pretty nice inded
01:10:10barrywardellpreglow: the logo would only show while booting, and it would be compiled in so there's no extra disk access
01:10:13*_jhMikeS_ 's editor whines about CREDITS and chars not in CP-1252 even if opened as UTF-8 now :\.
01:10:16amiconnsaratoga: The bootloader should either show the same logo as main rockbox, or no logo at all
01:10:23 Nick _jhMikeS_ is now known as jhMikeS (n=jethead7@rockbox/developer/jhMikeS)
01:10:23amiconnJumping logo would look strange
01:10:24CalcipherIt would kind of be like widescreen look
01:10:31preglowless cluttered, high contrast, sleek
01:11:22CalcipherI wish I could help, I really would put some time into this, since I'm one of the people who can benefit from all the accesibility features rockbox has
01:11:24rasherjhMikeS: it's times like these you wish they'd just created utf8 back when they were wiring up the first computers
01:11:47***Saving seen data "./dancer.seen"
01:11:57*barrywardell agrees with amiconn
01:11:58preglowrasher: think i'll try replacing the current one to find out how it looks
01:12:34*amiconn much prefers the current logo over any alternative suggestions so far
01:12:36jhMikeS:) ... only problem is the editor is not _supposed_ to be complaining because I'm telling it what it is.
01:12:47preglowi'm starting to hate the current one :/
01:12:56preglowit's just... cluttered
01:13:08*jhMikeS was going to say "too busy"
01:13:14rasherIt's not so much a logo as a collage
01:13:20preglowexactly
01:13:22saratogathe current logo will look interesting on the c200 anyway
01:13:26barrywardellthat h300 experimental build on is nice indeed
01:13:37amiconnsaratoga:?
01:14:09saratogathe c200 has a really tiny screen IIRC
01:14:11jhMikeSsome simple design with few colors (maybe just two) would be nice.
01:14:20preglowsucky thing about the h300 experimental one: it contains small sized text
01:14:21amiconnsaratoga: Not as tiny as the archos screens
01:14:31preglowjhMikeS: agreed
01:14:36saratogayeah but the archos is B+W right?
01:14:45amiconnYeah, and?
01:14:48pixelmasaratoga: even harder...
01:14:54amiconnThe current logo doesn't need many colours
01:14:57saratogawe use the color logo on that?
01:14:58rasherpreglow: I pretty much mean only the square logo left of the text
01:15:07amiconnJust black, white, grey, and orange
01:15:14amiconnyes

01:16:35*markun just wants to say he also likes the "H300 experimental build" logo

01:17:11krazykitCalcipher, it was, actually, but the patch may be able to be converted for e200... though you'd need to make custom WPS's and such

01:17:38amiconnjhMikeS: Did you see my question earlier today?
01:17:49amiconn(or in fact already yesterday for me)
01:17:58CalcipherI just started working with rockbox last night, I still don't know what wps's do
01:18:14krazykitCalcipher, they make the What's Playing Screen look different
01:18:22Calcipherah I see
01:18:26saratogai still like the idea of a small text only "logo"
01:18:28saratogahttp://www.duke.edu/~mgg6/rockbox/small.png
01:18:30jhMikeSamiconn: haven't travelled any logs yet
01:18:30saratogasomething liek that
01:18:52n1sCalcipher: to do that in a nice way, would be a _major_ task, almost all of rockbox' gui code relies on fixed width and height of the display
01:18:59CalcipherShiiet, If thats all it takes, I'd put in the time, when ever someone can port the gigabeat version for e200
01:19:06amiconnjhMikeS: Did you write mpegplayer idct_arm_c.c yourself, or is that something ported from libmpeg2 we didn't have before?
01:19:24amiconnI'm asking because I want to convert it to an .S file

01:20:24jhMikeSI am
01:20:30Calcipherhmm, let me take a look at the screen sizes, hopefully they may be similar or atleast nearly proportionate
01:20:35n1sCalcipher: the gigabeat patch is basically a seperate build with width/height swapped and a hacked up bootloader allowing you to choose orientation on startup
01:20:40jhMikeScan't credit anyone though since my editor will mess up the file
01:20:49pixelmasaratoga: I wouldn't call that a logo (even less than our current one) - to me a logo is all about less text, more a sign
01:21:00preglowjhMikeS: what kind of crap editor is that?
01:21:11preglowrasher: tried on target now, the font of the main logo is too thin as well
01:21:18saratogaor maybe menu back drop
01:21:18saratogawell ok, mainly i just want to put the word "rockbox" somewhere in the default wps
01:21:21Calcipherthats a pretty cool feature

01:21:41preglowit's not utf8
01:21:45preglowit's latin1, afaik
01:22:03preglowiso-8859-1 or wtf
01:22:08amiconnjhMikeS: But you wrote the actual asm?
01:22:16Calciphergigabeat LCD is 320x240
01:22:17jhMikeSThen it says "not in CP-1252" or whatnot. doesn't matter. I tried UTF-8 after the whining.
01:22:25jhMikeSamiconn: yes
01:22:34amiconnThen it's your code, imo
01:22:41Calcipherand the e200 series LCD is 220x176
01:23:11Calciphernumbers would def need tweaking
01:23:28preglowrasher: main problem with that logo is that i wastes too much space. i kind of like that, but i don't know if we can afford it if we are to use it on all our targets
01:23:31Calcipherhow do you guys usually go about deving GUI fixes

01:27:58jhMikeSorange? eck
01:28:08n1sCalcipher: that's c code you'll have to deal with
01:28:18rashern1s: getting an actual graphic artist to jot something down might not be too awful, but paying for would probably be a bit over the top
01:28:19preglowrasher: why, that's not the one i was looking at :>

02:03:02rasherI don't think it's interesting to add voice to some db sections. The strings depend entirely on the db-config file used
02:03:33Mouser_XApparently I'm way late on asking this (the build I was using was 3 or more months old), but why did controls on the Gigabeat get changed?
02:03:34Calcipherbasically its dependent on the player?
02:03:35rasherIt'd be more reasonable to create something like .talk clips for the db
02:03:50rasherCalcipher: it's dependent on the user's configuration

02:06:21Mouser_XAbout the only thing I check (at all) is what commits were made.

02:07:12rasherCalcipher: I think I pretty much have it figured out: 1) Create a client-side script that reads the db and the db-config, and creates .talk clips for all strings needed (menu entries and artist/album/track names), hooks in the db code to check for these clips at some predefined location
02:07:43krazykitMouser_X, guess you missed that commit :P
02:07:45Calcipherhm
02:08:19Calciphersounds like a plan
02:08:45CalcipherDoes the tts system support any other synthesizers?

02:09:57Calcipherdoes that support sapi5 voices if theyre installed?
02:10:07rasherCalcipher: then that's because that's what you have installed. It supports festival, flite and another one
02:10:16rasherAnd sapi4/5 on cygwin
02:10:43amiconnSAPI4 is not really recommended though. SAPI5 is.

02:11:13Calcipherlet me take another look
02:11:19Calciphermaybe I can use the voices
02:11:29amiconnSAPI support is most probably not in rbutil

02:32:20Calcipherwell is most of the dev work done on linux?

02:32:47Billthen i put the file into the folder on my ipod (j:\videos)
02:32:55Billthen when i play it says the video is 0:00
02:33:20Mouser_XOddly enough, I have had videos that crash other players (Media Player Classic, VLC) convert with WinFF. As such, I'd have to say it's pretty good.

02:39:07SoapCalcipher, I saw earlier how you said you wanted to help...and are someone who can benefit from all the accessibility features. There is someone who goes by the IRC nick of ddalton...he is working on a series of patches he finds useful as a blind man. He is also always looking for feedback and testers of his modifications. You might want to get with him and see if there is any testing or help he needs.
02:39:38SoapFeedback even, I'm not sure he needs another coder - perhaps just someone to test and bounce ideas off of?
02:40:21Calcipherthat sounds good
02:41:25CalcipherI'd like to help, I'd also be interested in helping in any way I can with a port gigabeat patch for the e200
02:42:30Calcipherthank you for the info rasher, I'll keep an eye out for the name Soap, thanks
02:42:59Mouser_XCalcipher: I'm pretty sure that the Gigabeat rotation patch is largely built off of the iPod, which has a 320x240 resolution. In other words, I think much of their code derives from the iPod port.
02:43:08CalcipherI'll be afk for about an hour, so if anyone wants they can leave me a PM, thanks again
02:45:01CalcipherI thought the process would be a kind of find and replace when it came to certain positioning values...I wouldn't really know though, but again I'll be back later

02:51:39amiconnPermanent rotation (i.e. a special build) shouldn't be difficult
02:52:05amiconnRuntime rotation, however, would require changing lots of the inner workings of rockbox

03:02:05Mouser_XI'd like a utility to use my Winamp Media Library tags (specifically song ratings) in Rockbox's DB... Obviously, to do this, one would have to know something about the format of each (Winamp can export its DB, as can Rockbox. Perhaps something can be done with that?)

03:08:13safetydanrasher, the code isn't terribly good documentation for anyone unfortunately. Anyway, I believe each tcd file is just a list of every single tag value of a single type.
03:08:33safetydani.e. database_0.tcd is a list of every single song title, database_1.tcd is a list of every single album title, etc

03:34:40Lloreansafetydan: That's why I'm having a problem understanding what he's wanting. The only thing I could think of that he wanted to do, but couldn't, was "Sort by an Album Year" rather than simply "Order the list by the Year tag" which as far as I can see is already doable.
03:35:30safetydanLlorean, I didn't think you could order the list by anything at the moment which was why people were asking for sort tags? But I don't use tagcache so I can't really know I guess.
03:35:52Lloreansafetydan: You can order the list by any supported tag.
03:36:01LloreanOr combination of supported tags using printf syntax
03:36:03LloreanApparently
03:36:26LloreanPeople could already simply put an alternate form of "Title" in the Comment tag and support by that, I think.
03:36:37LloreanSort tags just give handy scratch tags that can be used in that format string universally

03:39:01rashersafetydan: two of my database files are identical, with only a difference in two bytes before each string, where one database has 0xffff, and another has some sort of value.. do you know what that might be?
03:39:24rasher_3 and _8 if that tells you anything
03:40:01safetydansafetydan, seems you're right. Or at least I think you're right since the tagnavi syntax isn't easy to read
03:41:03safetydanrasher, that's either an offset to the next tag or... well actually I have no idea
03:41:37rashersafetydan: those two bytes are not necessary to read the db at least - I have code working that reads out all strings from a database file
03:43:25safetydanrasher, if you look at the tagcache.c file and the tagfile_entry struct that might give you a clue
03:44:00rasherI guess it's the idx_id "Corresponding entry location in index file of not unique tags"
03:44:18rasherWhatever that means, it's not important for what I'm trying to do, I suppose
03:44:31Lloreansafetydan: The tagnavi syntax is a terrifying mess, I think
03:44:45LloreanI think the problem might be that you can't have nested custom format strings.

04:38:38Mouser_Xalienbiker99: I've had something like that happen on my Gigabeat.

05:21:58kkurbjunwell, I plan to, but I would rather spend my time getting the main build loading right now
05:22:06jhMikeSkkurbjun: it's just not been done yet. they should be though but inlining must be preserved.
05:22:18jhMikeSIt shouldn't break operation, no
05:23:03kkurbjunok, great, I was looking at the asm for the s3c.. and it looks like most of it would also apply to any other single core target correcT?
05:23:27jhMikeSI don't know about any other. It's based on the behavior of that particular chip.
05:24:31jhMikeSIf interrupts can stay disabled in cpsr and the core can still wake up, that's a simpler thing to do. s3c nor SH can do that so some timing tricks are used.

05:29:31kkurbjunah, I think I'm starting to see a bit how the s3c works.. what does setting the idle bit do?
05:29:38jhMikeSs3c sets the idle bit before reeabling the interrupts in cpsr _but_ it takes many cyces for the core to sleep so it gets past the msr instruction
05:30:01kkurbjunis that the idle on the SOC?
05:30:30jhMikeSyeah, just turns off the core clock
05:31:54kkurbjunhuh, I see, howd you find the timing on the idle bit? was that documented?
05:32:27Calciphernow I don't know how well you guys can pick apart the OF on the sansa players
05:32:29kkurbjunreally interesting too by the way
05:32:37jhMikeSthere's some pages about that in there.
05:33:12ddaltonwhat were your suggestions
05:33:39CalcipherI was thinking since so many people ask about the USB support, and the OF has this support is it possible rockbox can just read that part of the OF and implement the features?
05:34:01ddaltondon't know
05:34:07kkurbjunI definitely wouldn't have understood that if you hadn't explained it, so the PP chips can set an equivalent idle bit and will still restart the clock when an interrupt occurs even when they are masked?
05:34:08ddaltonwhat about accessibility?
05:34:11LloreanCalcipher: One of the biggest points of Rockbox is that it's not supposed to depend on or use the OF for things
05:34:13Calcipherwould that be harder than having it built right in to the softwa
05:34:23ddaltonread his message
05:34:44jhMikeSkkurbjun: the small delay loop was what was there and what the C-compiler produced ... I figured that was some aspect that shouldn't change.
05:34:59CalcipherAh I see
05:35:18Calcipherthen having it rely on foreign code would actually make it less stable
05:35:18LloreanCalcipher: Rockbox is intended as "replacement" firmware, meaning it should function even without the original firmware present at all when "complete"

05:37:37jhMikeSkkurbjun: It's really basically the same thing but with interrupts disabled so the waking list can be checked to abort the sleep. If that's not done, the CPU might wait 10000uS when a thread should be running _now_.

06:06:34Calcipheranyone here familiar with tom tom linux?
06:07:46CalcipherI just want to figure out if the text to speech voices set up I have for a tom tom 510 can be of any use to you guys
06:08:04CalcipherI see an Install.bif file in one of its directories
06:08:23LloreanRockbox isn't Linux.
06:08:59Calcipheralso a libaec.so
06:09:29Calcipheryeah I realize that, but it seems most of the dev work is being done in linux environment
06:10:10Calcipherwanted to see if any of those files sound familiar to the linux users
06:10:13scorcheCalcipher: what he was getting at, is this channel is about rockbox only
06:11:01Calcipherok, the reason I brought that up was to possibly help with the voice menu features development for rockbox
06:11:16LloreanEither you're talking about creating the pre-created voice files, in which case any TTS engine that can take a test string and output a wav can be adapted for use with Rockbox's speech generation routines, or you're talking about incorporating TTS directly into Rockbox, which requires a GPL licensed engine that can be converted to fixed point.
06:11:20Calcipherbut yeah I see your point on avoiding off topic stuff
06:11:24LloreanWhich requires not binaries, but source code.
06:12:45Calcipherfunny enough I think I saw a link for the sources, but I was refering more to using an existing external tts engine
06:13:18LloreanThat couldn't work, except as previously mentioned, using the pre-recorded clips as Rockbox currently does.
06:14:23Calcipherhttp://gpl-violations.org/news/20041024-linux-tomtom.html
06:15:43Calcipheryeah, I just wanted to see if anyone doing voice clip related work was interested in using the engine I have here from the linux tom tom install
06:17:38scorchetypically, that is handy information to know up front ;)

10:06:23safetydanthat's almost watchable
10:09:28amiconnNah, H1x0 is quite limited in its fps due to all the bit shuffling in the graylib
10:10:22amiconnOn X5, video playback is now smooth if there's not too much "action" in the video.
10:11:03Lloreanamiconn: What sort of framerate then?
10:11:30amiconnWith fullscreen it's around realtime on average
10:11:39amiconn24..25fps

10:12:02LloreanDid the OF have video on the X5, or only the H300 had that?

10:13:29GodEater_I was about to ask what codec ;)
10:13:40LloreanIt's been a little hard to claim mpeg2 was "good for performance" when our player was still as slow or slower than the OF one
10:14:29amiconnWell, it's not anymore
10:14:57amiconnBut H300 still needs work to get it near realtime
10:16:36pixelmaGodEater: I just saw them listed in the browser.... :)

11:52:14PhilusWouldn't it be nice if you could toggle the backlight on and off by the flick of a switch? Like, if you toggle the keylock on and off within, say, 2 seconds it disables all backlight, and if you do it again it's back on..
11:53:18ZagorPhilus: have you seen the "backlight on hold" setting?
11:54:07Philusyes, isn't that just to disable all light while the keylock is on?
11:54:13Zagoryou can choose
11:54:21Zagori'm off to lunch
11:56:28LloreanZagor: I think he meant "hold on/off quickly turns the backlight on, permanently, until a second toggle of hold on/off"
11:57:05LloreanPhilus: A simple thing you can do is have two .cfg files in your root, one that permanently enables backlight, and one that sets it to a very short timeout so you can still access the menus but otherwise have it off
11:57:23PhilusI meant toggle the keylock twice to disable all backlight, and toggle twice again to go back to normal mode
11:59:16PhilusLlorean: that still means if I need to enable the backlight in total darkness (when we're in bed and the wife beats me if I turn the light on) I'd have to fiddle around in the menu to change settings

12:21:54linuxstbamiconn: Have you tried disabling the calls to lcd_yuv_blit() in mpegplayer to see what speed the decoder is running at? I tried that once for the ipod video, and IIRC it could only decode at about 22fps (fullscreen I think).
12:22:29amiconnNo, but it's a simple calculation now that I know the pure yuv framerates
12:23:11amiconnIt's like parallel resistors: 1/total_frame_rate = 1/decoder_frame_rate + 1/yuv_frame_rate

12:24:32amiconnFor H300 fullscreen, that equation yields ~17fps for the decoder

12:49:12amiconnI was puzzled about the _o, _x, _y and _xy variants; thought those have to do with the offset. But each x and y mean an additional movement by half a pixel
12:50:12amiconnAnd the destination is obviously guaranteed to be 32 bit aligned, otherwise the arm code would throw a data abort on PP
12:52:40preglowmotion compensation is bound to suck huge amounts of cpu on coldfire, i think
12:52:50preglowno data cache :/
12:53:18amiconnYeah, hence I want to put asm
12:53:41amiconnAsm can fetch larger amounts at once, making efficient use of burst accesses
12:53:55amiconnThe C code fetches and stores single bytes...
12:56:50amiconnUmm, that reminds me of something
12:57:14amiconnlinuxstb: How did you manage to seize the core's codec stack in test_codec?
12:57:57preglowsingle bytes? :PP
12:58:47preglowthat's a good point, can't the video codec use the codec stack?
12:59:04preglowshould work for now, at least
12:59:11amiconnEven better:
12:59:30amiconnRight now libmad is given a separate stack in mpeg player, put into iram
12:59:38amiconnAnd libmad is quite stack hungrry.
13:00
13:00:09amiconnIf we could seize the core's codec stack for libmad in mpegplayer, we could give the video thread a stack in iram as well
13:01:02amiconnOh, didn't notice that the video stack is already in iram
13:01:06preglowlibmad is very stack hungry, yeah, i think it puts entire frames in iram
13:01:12preglowan entire frame, at least
13:01:28amiconnBut still, seizing the core's codec stack for libmad would free quite some iram for other purposes
13:02:49preglowyeap
13:03:01preglowi don't really know what i think about reusing stacks either, that won't work when/if we go preemptive
13:03:27preglowbut could be a nice trick for now
13:05:34amiconnbah, preemptive :(
13:06:03 Nick Maha` is now known as tictoc (i=tabac@gateway/gpg-tor/key-0xB9002659)
13:06:03preglowthe way i see it, the code is becoming too complex to continue with the cooperative stuff
13:06:07preglowalso, it hides bugs
13:06:48preglowand keeps us from implementing features like proper realtime dsp (which i of course would like...)
13:10:12amiconnWhy is that?
13:10:20preglowwhich of them?
13:10:35amiconnboth
13:11:22amiconnI can't see why cooperative threading hides bugs, and how preemption would allow for realtime dsp
13:11:38amiconnI think the can-of-worms to benefit ratio of preemptive threading is rather bad
13:11:51preglowit hides bugs because some erronous thread communication might not malfunction until some yields() are added or shufflDed around
13:11:55preglowwhy is it a can of worms?
13:11:59amiconnRight now rockbox code is written for execution in a cooperative threading environment
13:12:08preglowyes, and it shouldn't
13:12:09***Saving seen data "./dancer.seen"
13:12:18preglowwriting that kind of code breaks when the yield() pattern isn't as you expect
13:12:33amiconnImo it should, because it's less complex
13:12:49preglowyou should keep thread communication to a minimum anyway, and do it properly when you do it
13:13:09amiconnPreemptive threading would need a ton of additional checks where you can now simply assume that nothing changes inbetween (because you're not yielding)
13:13:18preglowi think the preemptive scenario is less confusing than the cooperative one, at least with preemptive multitaskin, i know i can't trust _anything_ to work in the order i think

13:13:36preglowwith cooperative, i don't really know, and worst case, it could be essentially preemptive, because some guy might come and shuffle yield()s around
13:13:56ddaltondoes anyone know what variable holds the value of the select item in the file tree?
13:14:12ddaltonSo if I am on item 5 from the top of the list what variale holds 5
13:14:20ddaltonvariable
13:14:36preglowamiconn: and it would allow us to do realtime dsp since we can assure that dsp gets run realtime
13:14:46preglowamiconn: we can't now, since we depend on people yielding properly
13:15:06amiconnYou would still have the boosting problem, that keeps us from going low-latency all the time atm
13:15:27preglowhmm, yeah, the boosting might give us an interesting problem
13:16:03amiconnThe most obvious example for preemtion badness are the iriver and iaudio remote lcd update functions (to me, because I wrote them)
13:16:06 Quit karashata ("Leaving.")
13:16:18preglowi wonder how a scheme with more clock freqs would work. trying to always choose one that gives reasonable load, more like powernowd on linux
13:16:24amiconnThese functions need to know the current cpu clock, because they have to adjust timing accordingly
13:17:11amiconnRight now, they can rely on that the clock *never* changes halfway through a transfer, because they don't yield, and calling them from interrupt context is forbidden
13:17:29amiconnBut with preemption, another thread could boost or unboost during a transfer...
13:17:31preglowyou would of course have means of making sure you're not interrupted
13:17:36preglowlike critical sectionms
13:17:42preglowwhich are dead easy to use
13:18:28preglowso that nothing comes and interrupts the ata driver during a transfer, for example
13:18:41amiconnUnboost would just slow down the transfer, but boost would speed it up - and the lcd contents gets garbled
13:18:58preglowevery os has tons of spots like that
13:19:28preglowas a matter of fact, they're the primary reason for linux' bad low latency behaviour...
13:19:41amiconnThat's not so much because the lcd controller couldn't follow, but due to the wire length. We simply can't push 10MHz over that thin wire to the remote, and expect it to work reliably
13:20:21preglowanyway
13:20:32preglowdual core support pretty much means we _have_ preemptive multitasking
13:20:45preglowwe can control that by selecting which threads go on which cores, of course
13:21:05preglowbut the problem might still come up and bite us
13:21:27preglowsimply because rockbox is getting big, and few people know every part of it well enough to know in what subtle ways threads might be talking to each other
13:22:08amiconnBloat is our problem, not the cooperative threading, imo
13:22:26preglowboth are problems, if you ask me
13:22:46preglowpreemptive threading won't even add much overhead in size, i'm quite sure
13:22:52preglowmost of the needed stuff is already in
13:22:58preglowthanks to dual core

13:23:19amiconnDon't remind me of that :(
13:23:39preglowand if you're going to tell me we should just forget we have an extra core, you're just being silly
13:23:41amiconnI know that we need to utilize it, but I dislike it, completely
13:23:54preglowsure, you can dislike it all you want, it still exists
13:24:07preglowi don't like it myself, simply because i'm not very good at multi-threaded programming
13:24:14preglowbut i intend to learn that, heh
13:24:58amiconnI think that bugs in the threading would be even harder to find with preemptive threading than with cooperative therading
13:25:33*amiconn would really like to stay away from preemptive thread programming
13:26:25amiconnOne reason why I like rockbox coding, and why I don't code for linux or other os'es
13:26:41amiconn(other than simple things where I don't need to worry about multiple threads)
13:27:15preglowi think you'll find you don't really need to worry too much about it unless you write code that works with several threads
13:27:35preglowand why would the bugs be harder to find? i think they'll be simpler to find, since they appear consistently
13:27:43preglowwhich is not the case at all now
13:27:46preglowlook at playback.c
13:27:52preglowobscure bugs which come and go
13:28:27amiconnThread timing would be variable instead of fixed...
13:28:37preglowand execution order more random
13:28:41amiconnyes
13:28:54preglowthat'll contribute more
13:29:02amiconnHence bug which show up consistently in the cooperative model would be random with preemptive threading

14:14:03Crash91is it true?
14:14:17pondlifeZagor's working on it
14:14:39Crash91so theres been a lot of progress?
14:15:16pondlifeQuite a bit I think; you'll need to ask him though.
14:16:03Crash91\O/ yay!
14:16:21Crash91at least someone is now working on it =)
14:16:26ZagorCrash91: things are going forward nicely. basic usb comms is ready, working on the usb-storage protocol now.
14:17:18LloreanZagor: I won't pretend to know how these things work. Will software USB basically give direct access to the disk to the host PC, or will it basically have enough of Rockbox standing between it and the host to, say, hide folders (or show virtual folders, for example, MicroSD cards)?
14:17:21Zagoror, rather, the usb-storage protocol has revealed weaknesses in the basic comms that I'm working on
14:17:36Crash91Zagor: Yay! Thanks a lot for working on it =)
14:17:59ZagorLlorean: usb is on block level, so no hiding
14:18:18Zagors/block/disk/
14:18:38markunalso s/usb/ums/ ?
14:18:41pondlifeSo no transfer PC -> SD card?
14:18:42Zagorit also means we can't do anything with the disk during ums mode, or risk severe corruption
14:19:02Zagorpondlife: oh yes that will be possible, although not in the first iteration
14:19:13Zagormarkun: correct
14:20:18Zagorbasically ums is scsi-over-usb
14:20:28pondlifeAnyone mind if I commit http://www.rockbox.org/tracker/task/7983? I guess a larger tagnavi.config reduces audio buffer a bit?

14:21:27Lloreanpondlife: It should only affect people who've enabled Database anyway. I think we're still working toward a "perfect" tagnavi, but since I don't use it at all I don't know if that's a good addition. Sounds like it though

14:22:14preglowor does the usb protocol only do things block level?
14:22:14Zagorpreglow: how do you mean?
14:22:54Zagorums (scsi) asks for "n blocks, starting at x"
14:22:57preglowZagor: something like the usb protocol working more like ftp than direct block access, for example
14:23:09linuxstbpreglow: I guess that's MTP
14:23:15preglowlinuxstb: yeah, makes sense
14:23:33preglowZagor: so to expose the sd card, you'll have to export it a separate device, i take it?
14:23:44LloreanBut if you could present to the host as "standard UMS", and put some sort of abstraction in, you could probably do some interesting things.
14:23:47Zagoryes. that's how the sansa OF does it too
14:23:50roolkupondlife: I would personally scrap the special "The" treatment, and the bugfix is nice to have
14:23:58preglowZagor: yeah, and i think most people will like it that way anyway
14:24:12linuxstbLlorean: What kind of abstraction. All UMS does is allow the host to read/write raw sectors
14:24:17Lloreanpondlife: I definitely think special treatment for "The" should be scrapped, but I'm in favour of sort tags which would negate a *need* for special treatment.
14:24:32*markun seconds that

14:25:52Lloreanlinuxstb: I guess in that situation there's not too much you can do, can you. =/
14:25:55GodEater_linuxstb: but our USB code could lie about the sectors available
14:26:03markunpondlife: is there anyone interested in all the artists starting with "The" ?
14:26:07linuxstbGodEater_: Yes, like the E200R firmware does...
14:26:18GodEater_Llorean: why do you want this behaviour ?
14:26:34LloreanGodEater_: I don't have anything specific in mind, yet. Just curious about hypotheticals at the moment.
14:27:08*GodEater_ would be against any sort of weird data hiding via our usb code unless there was a *very* good reason for it
14:27:09pondlifemarkun: Not me, but it was in there, so I preserved it
14:27:46pondlifePersonally, I'm definitely for scrapping all of the "The" tests.
14:27:48Zagorwe can do anything we like with usb, just not with ums.
14:28:04Zagorums is the plain disk access protocol, and we should keep it that
14:28:05LloreanGodEater_: I was more wondering about MTP-like features, such as Rockbox scanning metadata for the database during transfers, or tracking dircache changes, or I dunno what really. But that doesn't seem so much in the picture.
14:28:43LloreanGodEater_: Basically, I was hoping that we could, without changing the apparent way UMS transfer works to the user, have Rockbox handle some housework while it's transferring.
14:28:45linuxstbZagor: Couldn't we implement extra "SCSI inquiry" commands - to for example provide rbutil with information about the running version of Rockbox, and what bootloader is running in flash?
14:29:11*linuxstb now wishes all our targets had software USB...
14:29:21*GodEater_ notes Zagor's todo list suddenly getting much longer :)
14:29:47Zagorlinuxstb: the better model for that I think is to add device-specific control messages. that is very easy to do.

14:30:36Zagorlinuxstb: sure
14:30:41CalcipherI'm gonna be real curious to see what you guys have done in the next day, good luck all of you, sounds great already
14:31:02LloreanCalcipher: Don't be impatient. It may not even be usable within a day, or several.
14:31:06markunlinuxstb: I've also googled for that a bit (but didn't find anything so far)
14:31:12linuxstbZagor: Sorry for distracting you, carry on with the basics ;)
14:31:35linuxstbmarkun: Yes, I don't think it's standard - I'm suggesting some form of proprietory extension.
14:32:06linuxstbItunes manages to sync the time on ipods via UMS for example, and I'm assuming they've just done something proprietory on top of UMS.
14:32:06 Quit karashata ("Leaving.")
14:33:25Zagoryeah the ums spec has openings for device-specific bulk commands too. but I think it's better to keep those commands on the device level (control) rather than linked to the storage protocol.
14:34:08GodEater_so basically you're saying you'd implement them outside of UMS itself ?
14:34:09Zagor("those": commands not immediately related to the file transfer)
14:34:25ZagorGodEater: time sync and such, yes
14:34:46*GodEater_ only has very rudimentary understanding of how usb works
14:35:13preglowlinuxstb: any idea why skip prev wouldn't work with wma?
14:35:15Zagordatabase-update-while-transferring requires a non-ums protocol, so that's not really an immediate issue imho
14:35:31preglownot at all
14:35:40GodEater_but I assume you basically connect the device, and your usb stack says "Hi, who are you, what do you do?" in the device control bit, and then when the device says "Hi, I'm an ipod, I do UMS", your launch your UMS sub code ?
14:35:54linuxstbpreglow: No...
14:36:16Lloreanpreglow, linuxstb: Isn't the problem because the first time you press it, it seeks to the beginning of the file?
14:36:26LloreanI seem to remember hearing that if you skip next, then immediately skip prev, it works
14:36:28preglowoh, right, that kind of prev
14:36:33preglowi thought he meant double click prev
14:36:34ZagorGodEater: no, an usb device can do many different things. it says "hi, I'm an usb device. talk to me on this control port. then I have these two storage ports for you. and these serial ports. and these...." etc
14:36:34preglowfor some reason
14:36:46LloreanThe second click won't work, because it never got to the beginning of the file on the first one, right?
14:36:53GodEater_Zagor: I was over simplifying :)
14:37:06preglowright, stock wma really, really ignores seeking
14:37:13ZagorGodEater: yeah but the point is an usb device isn't either ums or something else. it can be many things at once.
14:37:33linuxstbZagor: Ah, so for example we could have serial and UMS working simultaneously? (I can't think why though...)
14:37:34GodEater_I realise that sorry - I just picked UMS as one thing to say to avoid my line being enormous
14:37:36*preglow sees if there's a quick fix
14:37:39Lloreanpreglow: I'm kinda surprised that the first press actually uses seeking to get to 0, honestly.
14:37:57preglowLlorean: well, it's efficient
14:38:01GodEater_Zagor: for example, I don't imagine the USB protocol makes much use of the word "Hi" in reality ;)
14:38:03linuxstbpreglow: I think other codecs without seeking implement a special case to seek to the start of the file.
14:38:05preglowLlorean: no need to reinit the codec and all
14:38:08Zagorlinuxstb: yes we can. and if I don't fix my storage problems soon, I'm tempted to add serial capability for debugging...
14:38:14preglowlinuxstb: they do, i've removed several of them :)
14:38:25Lloreanpreglow: I'd just somehow assumed there'd be a "more efficient" special case or something already in place. That's all. :)
14:38:27linuxstbpreglow: ;) Maybe you need to add one for WMA...
14:38:35preglowi think i will
14:38:52preglowif i find a decent way
14:39:05*preglow wonders if saratoga has worked more on seeking

14:52:15bluebrotherpreglow: might be nice for the sim too −− make install also creates a zip first IIRC

15:23:52amiconnIf I play the X5 fullscreen version on H300, it's equally fast
15:24:06markunthe video dimensions don't have to be a multiple of 16 for a long time, shall I change http://www.rockbox.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/PluginMpegplayer#Choosing_a_resolution
15:24:26Lloreanmarkun: Isn't that a requirement of the mpeg standard?
15:24:28amiconnIt could be a bit faster due to the slightly simpler lcd_yuv_blit() if we would fiddle with the lcd waitstates between lcd_yuv_blit() and lcd_update()
15:24:58amiconnWhen boosted, lcd_update() needs 5 waitstates because it uses dma, but for lcd_yuv_blit(), 4 waitstates would be sufficient
15:25:02elinenbeamiconn: are these updates to the mpegplayer, or the LCD driver?
15:25:02markunLlorean: the blocks are 16x16, but the display resolution should just be a multiple of 2

15:27:29Lloreanelinenbe: There's still no good reason for someone to write an mpeg4 codec.
15:28:21preglowsure there is
15:28:28preglowmpeg4 videos use less space
15:28:42*linuxstb would like to see more video codecs supported, just as we support many audio codecs
15:28:48preglowexactly
15:28:55amiconnlinuxstb: Why?
15:28:57Lloreanpreglow: I'm not so sure they will.
15:29:00markunLlorean: I don't think there would be any drawbacks.
15:29:00Avedoes it really make a diffence in low-resolution displays?
15:29:01LloreanThey'll use a little less space
15:29:02preglowLlorean: how come?
15:29:03linuxstbamiconn: Why not?
15:29:10amiconnVideo is different from audio in that you need to convert for the target anyway
15:29:26Lloreanpreglow: In terms of image quality, the screens are so small anyway that I'm not sure mpeg4 will get a significant bitrate advantage.
15:29:26preglowLlorean: there's a possibility you're right, but i would still like to see some numbers on it
15:29:34amiconn...and rockbox is a DAP firmware in the first place
15:29:42linuxstbNot always - 320x240 is a relatively common size for videos such as podcasts to be distributed in.
15:29:43preglowin the first place, yes
15:29:49preglowand now daps aren't only audio devices anymore
15:29:57Lloreanpreglow: As well, with the additional computational overhead, someone with mpeg2 video can just sacrifice framerate for image quality anyway.
15:30:05preglowvideos are distributes to be played on these devices
15:30:06amiconnlinuxstb: What are podcast? :>
15:30:09preglowso we should support these other formats
15:30:10markunif we can find a video codec which is better than mpeg2 in speed, size or quality I'm all for it
15:30:13LloreanI really wouldn't MIND other video codecs.
15:30:19LloreanI just don't think that it's likely to be an "improvement"
15:30:39preglowi don't really care about video, but why the hell not?
15:30:42LloreanWith the exception of maybe the Gigabeat, which might be able to play them at decent quality *and* framerate
15:30:54preglowLlorean: and let's face it, that's the way daps are going
15:30:59LloreanOh, I agree on that
15:31:03markunthe Gigabeat S might be capable of a lot more
15:31:06LloreanFor future targets, multiple video codecs will be a must
15:31:12LloreanI just don't think it's *yet* particularly beneficial
15:31:13preglowgigabeat s can do h264 while standing on its head
15:31:20linuxstbI'm not saying I want to work on other video codecs, but I don't think we should discourage it.
15:31:31Lloreanpreglow: h264 support would be nice, we could then support "iPod" encoded videos

15:32:05preglowLlorean: those videos aren't drmed, are they?
15:32:26Lloreanpreglow: iTunes ones are. Podcasts that are pre-encoded, music videos that authors post to their websites, etc, usually don't tend to be.

15:34:03linuxstbI don't know, but maybe mpeg4 encoders are more common then mpeg2, due to the proliferation of original firmwares using it.
15:34:38preglowlinuxstb: wpsbuild.pl also assumes a .rockbox dir...
15:34:46Lloreanlinuxstb: Probably so. Most desktop video seems to be mpeg4, and then you can just pick a smaller resolution for your DAP
15:35:38LloreanAlso the iPod OF supports mpeg4 divx as well as h264/AVC I believe, and the PSP too.

17:23:43printhorizonHey, I just noticed that the build of Rockbox I'm using supports cuesheets. I'm using ye olde Archos Jukebox Recorder v1, which just plays MP3s. Can cuesheets be used with MP3?
17:23:49preglowsure
17:25:18printhorizonOkay... so I've got a cuesheet and an MP3 image in the same directory
17:25:26printhorizonI "play" the cuesheet
17:25:36proppylinuxstb: thanks for the wiki links they work like a charm
17:25:56bluebrotheryou need to enable cuesheet support first (and iirc you need to reboot after that) and play the mp3 file
17:26:11printhorizonOkay. Well, I did enable the cuesheet support and rebooted
17:26:21preglowprinthorizon: you play the mp3, not the cue
17:26:21bluebrotherboth files need to have the same filename except the file extension
17:26:32printhorizonIf I play the MP3 itself, I'm only seeing the MP3 as one big file

17:27:18printhorizonOkay, I think the filenames were "artist - album.mp3" and "artist - album.mp3.cue"
17:27:22printhorizonProblem? :)
17:27:25bluebrotheryes.
17:27:28printhorizonI see.
17:27:41printhorizonthe cuesheet should simple be "artist - album.cue" then?
17:27:44bluebrotherwell, not really a problem but you need to rename the cue to "artist - album.cue"
17:27:50printhorizonGotcha!
17:27:53printhorizonI'll try that
17:30:30printhorizonHmm... cuesheet support was not enabled. Weird. I know I did enable it.
17:31:13printhorizonRockbox doesn't seem to be saving my setting.

17:32:47printhorizonI'm not too sure on the difference. What I'm doing is pressing "Off" once, it says something like "Press OFF again to shut down" and then I do so.
17:33:00bluebrotherwell, I don't have any idea what could be causing this right now.

17:36:05printhorizonWorks like a charm! This is really cool.
17:36:11rasherSpeaking of talkfiles.. anyone up for hacking on adding voice-clips to Database? I've got the clip generation part going, but need to add something in the Database menu code, which I'm not sure I can handle..
17:36:43pondliferasher: What filenames are you using?
17:37:12rasherThe string to speak, sanitized to be FAT-friendly, and truncated at 100 chars.
17:37:22rasherI imagine putting them somewhere in .rockbox
17:37:56pondlifeAh, so it'll just do a lookup
17:38:15rasherYeah, should be fairly simple for someone in the know about the database code, hopefully
17:38:18pondlifeCouldn't that also apply to file browsing too?
17:38:43pondlifeMight save a little space as there would only need to be one clip for an album with a title track
17:38:48pondliferather than 2
17:38:49printhorizonHrm, I'm guessing the database might have some trouble with the MP3 images? Or is it smart enough to work with the cue points and display separate albums, tracks, etc.?

17:39:22rasherpondlife: I suppose so, but I'm not sure how much is gained by that - plus you have then separated the talk clips from the files, which might not be wanted if people move their stuff around
17:39:29pondlifeTrue
17:39:45pondlifeI like the idea of a single system for both browsers though
17:39:59rasherThat's a good point as well..
17:40:16linuxstbprinthorizon: Rockbox just uses cuesheets as points to skip to within a track. The big file is still considered one track as far as the rest of Rockbox is concerned.
17:40:25rasherBut with the current system you can skip the string sanitizing, since you know the string to be a valid filename already
17:40:35rasherdon't know if that means anything in practice though, probably not

17:41:40printhorizonlinuxstb: Thanks. I suppose now I just need to weigh the pros and cons of using a single image and a cue sheet versus individual tracks.
17:41:41pondlifeIndeed
17:42:13linuxstbprinthorizon: For Rockbox, individual tracks will work better - so you can shuffle, add individual tracks to playlists etc.
17:43:30linuxstbproppy: On some Nanos, yes. I'm not sure what the suggested solution/workaround is, but there are a few forum threads and a task on the bug tracker related to it.
17:43:54linuxstbproppy: http://www.rockbox.org/tracker/task/7510
17:43:57proppyoh ok let me search it
17:44:15rasherpondlife: I guess I'll upload a patch with the voice.pl modifications and advertise for people to fix the database side of things
17:44:32printhorizonlinuxstb: I see your point. :) I rarely shuffle or use playlists but I do sometimes prefer to start with a song in the middle of the album, and that'd be easier with the individual songs...
17:44:59pondliferasher: I was thinking for people who use both file and database browsing it would be good not to need 2 sets of voice clips...
17:45:11pondlifeNot sure that came across clearly though :)
17:45:22rasherAh, very good point..
17:45:52linuxstbprinthorizon: The only uses I know of for cuesheets are 1) Making a perfect backup of a CD (but you're using MP3 anyway, so that's not relevant), and 2) For gapless playback with software that doesn't have gapless support (which Rockbox does have, if the mp3s are encoded/split correctly).
17:46:07rasherthat would roughly half the needed clips
17:46:26pondlifei.e. Beatles.talk would be found for either browser
17:46:32rasherIndeed.
17:46:50rasherI suppose database support could come first, then unification afterwards
17:47:16pondlifeYes
17:47:39pondlifeMight be free to support both types in the file browser after that.
17:47:58printhorizonlinuxstb: Right. I enjoy using FLAC with embedded cuesheets in foobar2000 on my computer, but I think individual tracks are perfectly fine for a DAP. Thanks for the advice... it's cool to know Rockbox does do this, though.

19:46:19linuxstbYou mean turning it off?
19:46:38rasherNo, turning it on doesn't help maintaining a/v sync
19:47:34linuxstbYou need both Skip Frames and Limit FPS to maintain A/V sync. But if mpegplayer can't decode in realtime (and drop enough frames), then you won't get A/V sync either.
19:47:51amiconnAnd the audio sample rate must be correct
19:48:05preglowwould you even want to _not_ skip frames?
19:48:11preglowor limit fps, for that sake

20:10:38kkurbjunbut I could see it as an option for people that would like a fast restart.. I don't think anyone's noticed the battery drain
20:11:34amiconnThe 1st/2nd gen ipods not having true shutdown is in fact nasty. You need to recharge every ~4 weeks even if you don't use it at all

20:18:04amiconnkkurbjun: The shutdown and the suspend should work message based. Pressing the power off button combo would send either SYS_POWEROFF or SYS_SUSPEND (depending on target)

20:19:19amiconnAnd finally, when the ata thread is done, the power is cut or the suspend function is entered
20:20:02amiconnWhen waking up from suspend, a SYS_WAKEUP message would be sent that tells all threads that they can continue
20:20:24linuxstbpreglow: I'm doing it now...
20:20:30preglowneato
20:20:31kkurbjuncould it be a SYS_SUSPEND message universsally, and then the target handles it appropraitely if it supports suspend and the user wants it to suspend (instead of shutdown)?
20:20:43pregloww
20:20:49preglowwrong window :/
20:20:52kkurbjunor are you completely against the idea of supporting suspend on targets that have a hardware shutdown?
20:21:02amiconnProblem with that approach is that (1) since I want the powermgmt thread to be the "master" of all this, it needs to be restructured, so that the main loop is outmost, and the function(s) that are called every minute are called from there
20:21:38amiconnThis would have the additional advantage that the target specific code (e.g. software controlled charging for recorder v1) can be easier separated into target tree
20:22:31amiconnAnd (2) since there will be a couple more messages, either all threads need to handle them, adding quite some code to threads which don't need to care, or we need some sort of "event registration"
20:23:33linuxstbpreglow: It's gone.

20:58:45preglowamiconn: in decode_block
20:58:56markunkkurbjun: any idea how much mA we would gain by turning off RAM? Right now we use 0.71mA in sleep mode
20:58:57preglowdoesn't get run too often, though
20:59:41amiconnmarkun: I think that's what the ram needs in self refresh
21:00
21:00:07markunwow. so perhaps we would be very close to 0
21:00:09amiconnThe ipod draws ~1.2mA in suspend, that's ram self refresh plus the PP running at 32kHz
21:01:31amiconn<10uA is what I would expect from a half-decent, current dap
21:02:19rasherI really can't find heads nor tails of this..
21:02:34preglowamiconn: that's not enough for ram by far
21:02:44amiconn?
21:02:52amiconnI mean when powered off
21:03:00preglowpowered off != suspend
21:03:03amiconnNo ram self-refresh
21:03:06amiconnyes
21:03:10|Rain|I've not measured its power consumption, but the beta 1.03.x sansa OF also suspends instead of turning off completely (though it'll still power off if you hold down the power button for long enough)
21:03:14amiconnI want poweroff, not suspend
21:03:37preglowi want both
21:03:44preglowi like the apple scheme, really
21:03:50preglowsuspend when idling
21:03:56preglowthen power off after an hour or so
21:04:08preglowwhen i press power off, i expect it to power off, of course

21:13:16sarixei'll pastebin
21:13:21amiconnpreglow: Suspend is for the lazy devs who don't want to optimise boot speed ;)
21:13:44XavierGrdoes anyone know a copy command for linux that will not prompt me to overwrite files?
21:13:51rasherXavierGr: cp -f?
21:13:55nardulDoes anyone know if there's development going on for the 5'th generation Ipod CPU usage / battery lfie?
21:13:55XavierGrtried that
21:13:56preglowsounds to me like making suspend work isn't exactly any easier than optimizing boot speed
21:13:57XavierGrstill...
21:13:59*amiconn thinks he found the reason for the pcf i2c glitches
21:14:05rasherXavierGr: rather, stop using cp -i
21:14:07sarixehttp://pastebin.com/m62684e0f
21:14:30rasherXavierGr: it's probably aliased... "alias cp"?
21:14:49XavierGrmaybe let me check
21:15:00XavierGryeah it is :)
21:15:01XavierGrthanks
21:15:07sarixei usually just have a cron'd atuomatic build script running
21:15:08XavierGrdidn't have a clue
21:15:25sarixebut i noticed that my build version didn't change on bootup
21:15:28zesupplying -f should've overwridden it anyway though, afaik
21:15:31rasherimho, -f should still have overwritten even when using -i, but I guess that's debatable
21:15:49sarixeso i ran the compile manually, and it gave me what you see in the pastebin
21:15:58XavierGrthose kind of preset aliases are quite annoying (though they try to play it safe)
21:17:56XavierGrkkurbjun: ah that's why when I turn on my Gigabeat F after some days it is empty even after a full charge since then?
21:23:23sarixeuh, anyone know why i'm getting these compiler errors?
21:25:18kkurbjunXavierGr: that could be the RAM refresh running
21:25:38XavierGrso the gigabeat never turns completely down?
21:25:40markunin theory it would be half full after 24 days
21:26:10markunif it was fully charged when you turned it off
21:26:26rasherSlasheri: any way the database could include/exclude tracks based on the presence of the removable media they are on? So if I remove the microsd card, database won't show songs found on that card
21:26:40markunkkurbjun: do you have a ampere meter connected to your gigabeat?
21:26:47XavierGrcharge it, leave it there off (after I turned it on once) then after a month (or half a month) it was nearly empty)
21:27:03markunXavierGr: yes, that's normal
21:27:04amiconnrasher: The old volume id idea for the database...
21:27:13Slasherirasher: that's not yet possible..
21:27:37rasherSlasheri: Yeah, I sortof figured that - I meant it it is relatively feasible
21:28:11rasherBecause it would be rather neat
21:28:12 Quit sarixe ("(EE) Failed to load "quit" module")
21:28:32Slasheriwell, there could be an extra tag for the volume info or a separate db on the removable media
21:28:47kkurbjunmarkun, no I don't have a setup to measure it, all of my stuff is still in storage
21:29:06markunforgot about that
21:29:38kkurbjunlooks like I might be getting it soon though, might move out of storage this weekend :)
21:30:53kkurbjunwe could shutdown properly until a suspend feature is properly implemented..
21:31:32rasherSlasheri: having it as simply a tag would mean less work on insert/remove, but slightly more work for each search, I assume?
21:31:59markunkkurbjun: yes, that's what I was thinking
21:32:05pixelmarasher: you have an e200 now?
21:32:13rasher(cpu-wise, rather than code)
21:32:20markunbtw, do you ever get the battery empty warning when it's still full and you want to turn on the gigabeat?
21:32:27rasherpixelma: Yeah, I sold my h120 and had a sansa flown in
21:32:51markunmaybe something wrong with the way we turn off the ADC?
21:32:59Slasherirasher: somewhat, yes. and more work for update too if there is no media present during the update
21:33:03kkurbjunit would break the fast resume, but I guess enabling ram refesh could be added to teh patch. I've never seen that

21:33:45kkurbjundo you just have to try turning it on again?
21:33:48rasherHrm.. yes.. I guess having the db on the card makes most sense - since it's more likely to be up to date then - especially if you have multiple cards
21:34:04markunI haven't notice it for a while
21:34:05Learsarixe: make clean
21:34:11sarixek
21:34:14pixelmarasher: I'd say database should handle a simple manual "update now" with removeable data first :\ (at least it didn't work correctly on my Ondio and jhMikeS confirmed on his e200 a while ago)
21:34:17markunmaybe it got fixed by accident
21:35:46pixelmarasher: try initialising the database with inserted card, then remove it and hit "update now"

22:30:50webguest29Markun, can you help me on how to play games using rockbox?
22:31:07markundepends, I might be able to point you in the right direction
22:31:17markundo you have any question in particular?
22:31:44webguest29Well, I'm trying to run a .GBA type file on it, but it doesn't run when i click it on the menu
22:31:50webguest29Is there a plugin or something?
22:32:08markunno, .gba is not supported
22:32:18webguest29only .WAD?
22:32:26|Rain|x_<
22:32:35markunwebguest29: .gbc is supported for example
22:32:57webguest29ooo
22:33:02markunalso, we have a few native games: http://www.rockbox.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/PluginIndex

22:33:55markunjust click on the file
22:34:04markunlike you tried with the .gba file
22:34:04kkurbjunwhich includes .gb and .gbc, I think it also include .sgb but I've never tried it
22:34:26webguest29Any specific folder i have to put it in?
22:34:41|Rain|just something you can find in the file browser
22:34:52markunwebguest29: nope
22:35:04webguest29and running .WADs?
22:35:19kkurbjunthey have to be in a specific folder
22:35:22markunwebguest29: a bit more difficult: http://www.rockbox.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/PluginDoom
22:35:50webguest29is sandisk/games/doom/addons right?
22:35:53markunwebguest29: but if you like games a lot, maybe you should look for a handheld games console
22:36:06markunPSP or GP32X
22:36:15webguest29GP32X?
22:36:54markunGP2X or GP32, my bad
22:37:10markunhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GP2X
22:37:26webguest29ah so running gb/gbc games is just a one click thing?

23:43:54miraklinuxstb: is that random or dependent of the generation ?
23:44:47*preglow wonders if most wma files use noise coding
23:45:09mirakamiconn: thanks for implementing the coldfire idct
23:45:48mirakamiconn: it seems it's possible to optimise it, somebody says that. maybe you changed some stuffs
23:46:06courtcpreglow: probably for low bitrates.
23:46:20amiconnI optimised whatever I found, without changing the basic principle

23:46:43amiconnIt's basically a reimplementation of your idea, with all-asm functions

23:51:46preglowsafetydan: yo, could you sync your remove hw eq patch?
23:51:48courtcpreglow: you can see when libavcodec/ffmpeg uses noise coding starting on line 133 of http://www.irisa.fr/texmex/people/dufouil/ffmpegdoxy/wma_8c-source.html
23:52:39courtclooks like just for very low bitrates.
23:53:00preglowcourtc: pretty low bitrates
23:53:12preglowok, so i need some low bitrate wma files
23:53:12preglowhrmph
23:55:22safetydanpreglow, not until I get home unfortunately and I just started work so that's at least eight hours away
23:55:33preglowsafetydan: no rush, mate
23:56:28safetydanpreglow, you planning on making it work?
23:58:21preglowsafetydan: do you have a video, btw?
23:58:38preglowsafetydan: i'm planning on commiting it and adapting the cutoff freq fucntionality to other targets
