#rockbox log for 2007-11-20

00:00:58linuxstbWhen did you install the Rockbox bootloader?
00:00:59amiconnJdGordon: around?

00:01:23chucklast week
00:01:30JdGordonwhich part
00:01:31JdGordon?
00:01:35amiconnWhat needs fixing in the existing formatters?

00:02:30amiconnAh, hmm, I thought you meant all int value formatters...
00:02:36chucki have actually installed the bootloader several time, after updating my ipod version
00:02:43JdGordonno, just the ones using table_setting

00:03:08pixelmachuck: did you only install the build for 60GB/80GB Ipod Videos?
00:03:21chuckyes
00:04:59pixelmacould you try the other one (the 30GB version)? It is safe for you, in the worst case it doesn't use all available RAM
00:06:45chuckok, i'll try that one
00:06:45*stripwax wonders if translucent selection and drop shadow fonts are achievable on target
00:06:54amiconnForget it
00:06:56stripwaxreckon I can get a feel for target performance from the sim build?
00:07:19amiconnAlpha transparency would be slower - I'd expect a factor of 10 or more
00:07:23amiconnNo, you can't
00:07:31 Quit Redbreva ("ChatZilla 0.9.79 [Firefox 2.0.0.9/2007102514]")
00:07:36amiconnThe sim is tons faster than the targets
00:07:37PaulPositionstripwax - even pre=rendered greyscale antialiasing has been refused, so...
00:08:01 Join mirak [0] (n=mirak@m94.net81-66-75.noos.fr)
00:08:16stripwaxamiconn - right but I wonder if I can get any meaningful results from a profiler
00:08:16 Quit jhMikeS (Read error: 104 (Connection reset by peer))
00:08:23amiconnPaulPosition: That's due to size though, not performance
00:08:29 Quit mirak (Connection reset by peer)
00:08:30LloreanPaulPosition: Prerendered grayscale antialiasing would only work with very light backgrounds, wouldn't it?
00:08:37stripwaxyeah that's no good
00:08:47PaulPositionamiconn - Ah, right.
00:08:48 Join mirak [0] (n=mirak@m94.net81-66-75.noos.fr)
00:08:57Lloreanstripwax: There was a "Fast antialiasing" algorithm on the tracker, I think
00:09:30preglowstripwax: don't expect too valuable profile information on the sim either
00:09:31stripwaxa flat translucent selection should be easy to achieve. and I have a hacky drop shadow routine
00:09:32PaulPositionllorean - It wasn't a fast antialiasing at all, or anyway all I could find was a rejected page for fake-antialiasing by using greyscale fonts..
00:09:38stripwaxpreglow - okie doke
00:09:43PaulPositionOr maybe I understood it wrong. :o
00:09:57*PaulPosition shuts up before saying any more stupidities.
00:09:58stripwaxLlorean- I'm not looking at doing antialiasing
00:10:01pixelmaI still doubt that aliased fonts in the size we currently use will look that much better (maybe later with larger screens and smaller pixels)
00:10:18pixelmaand a larger font of course
00:10:31linuxstbstripwax: BTW, did you notice that about 5 minutes after you updated some themes last week with the new %s tag, we changed it to %m?
00:10:43LloreanPaulPosition: No, I think you're right there.
00:10:46stripwaxlinuxstb - yep, and I already updated those themes
00:10:51stripwaxbut yeah
00:11:02PaulPositionpixelma - I'm going way off topic.. But I'd have love to port the pen and paper wps to the (very) small h10 device. But handwriten pixel-fonts at 8 or 9 pts doesn't work. :p
00:11:03chuckok, i downloaded build 1709 for the 30 gig, and when i tried to play a mp3, i go the following message "data abort at 000089F0 (0)

00:11:55linuxstbchuck: When you said other things in Rockbox worked - what have you tried?
00:11:56pixelmahmm... then that's not what I suspected, sorry.
00:11:59stripwaxbut if I was going to take a look at antialiasing, I'd probably take a font four times bigger than I need and scale it down in the lcd_bitmap_mono_part fn
00:12:56chuckgames, themes, fonts, files, even loaded my database from my itunes partition
00:16:52stripwaxchuck - you don't happen to have two rockbox.ipod on your device do you?
00:16:52pixelmacould something be up with the mp3s themselves, did you try other music formats?
00:16:52chuckthere is only one .rockbox folder on my ipod
00:16:52stripwaxchuck - is there a file named rockbox.ipod in the root
00:16:52 Quit petur ("here today, gone tomorrow")
00:17:20chuckpardon my newbie question, but when i display even the hidden files i don;t see a rockbox.ipod. what folder would it be in
00:18:27linuxstbIt should be in .rockbox
00:18:35stripwaxchuck - if you don't see it it isn't there so that is fine

00:19:19stripwaxchuck - can you play back any music at all (something not in .mp3 perhaps)
00:19:57chuckall i have is mp3, apprx 700, some music, some podcasts
00:21:32chuckall i did was build my database from the things that i had loaded on my ipod theu itunes
00:23:48 Part linuxstb
00:24:39stripwaxchuck - are you using rbutilqt to install/upgrade rockbox?
00:24:57chuckyes,
00:25:36stripwaxok, and when you click on Info, does that report the correct version?
00:25:52chucki just did a rest on my settings after installing the build for the 30 gig and my first mp3 has playeed for a minute w/o locking up
00:26:13 Quit ZEA ("leaving")
00:26:36 Quit PaulPosition (Read error: 104 (Connection reset by peer))
00:26:59chuckmy wife is calling me for dinner, can we talk later?
00:27:07stripwaxchuck - ok. resetting the settings may have been what you needed, so if you're up and running now you should put on the 60/80GB build
00:27:21 Quit MethoS- (Remote closed the connection)
00:27:23chucki'll try that
00:27:37chucki sure appreciate your patience and your help
00:28:27preglowhrmrmr
00:28:49 Quit chuck ("Leaving")
00:31:51stripwaxI wonder if the ability to reset settings should be added to rbutilqt, whenever the config version changes. Then again I thought rockbox handled that automatically
00:32:30preglowi'm starting to think this clicking is caused by the speex output not dying out fast enough, we should probably leave a full frame of silence after the end of each clip
00:32:32 Join PaulPosition [0] (n=noneofye@modemcable228.133-82-70.mc.videotron.ca)
00:32:49 Quit roolku ()
00:33:12Lloreanstripwax: There is no "config version" issue any more...
00:33:31stripwaxLlorean - but what happens when something is no longer compatible?
00:33:56LloreanWhat do you mean?
00:34:02LloreanIf a setting isn't recognized, it's just ignored.
00:34:51LloreanSettings version mattered with the old binary config method, but with the .cfg file it's not the same concern.
00:36:34 Quit Thundercloud (Remote closed the connection)
00:36:36stripwaxTrue - so, I'm presuming, probably incorrectly, that chuck's configs were working at some point but with a rockbox upgrade they cause rockbox to crash. Under what circumstances would that happen? The alternative, I suppose, is that chuck has changed some setting himself which causes rockbox to crash.
00:37:02LloreanUnder no circumstances can that happen unless there's a significant bug in config parsing.
00:37:47stripwaxWe should have asked chuck to mail us his old settings to figure out why rockbox could not play audio without crashing
00:37:56PaulPositionDoesn't the apps/rockbox.map file help pinpointing data aborts ?
00:38:01LloreanI doubt it actually had anything to do with the settings.
00:38:05LloreanPaulPosition: It can.
00:38:39Lloreanstripwax: He did the reset after installing the 30gb version. I don't recall him saying he tried playing music with it on the 30gb version without resetting
00:38:51 Quit Nico_P (Remote closed the connection)
00:38:52LloreanAnd using the 60/80 version when you only have 32mb of RAM would create the exact symptom he described.
00:38:59pixelmamy idea was that he might have a 60GB with only 32MB RAM and people reported that too, not sure what the reset did there.
00:39:17stripwaxchuck: ok, i downloaded build 1709 for the 30 gig, and when i tried to play a mp3, i go the following message "data abort at 000089F0 (0)
00:39:33LloreanWhat is build 1709?
00:39:48pixelmaI guess it misses a "5"
00:40:01 Join AceNik [0] (n=AceNik@117.98.44.80)
00:40:02stripwaxI guess so
00:40:12LloreanBut also, it's possible he tried to resume playback rather than actually play a new file
00:40:21pixelmahmm, but we aren't at 15709 yet
00:40:30AceNikguys pleasee include thi patch in svn #7538
00:40:44PaulPositionacenik - thi ?
00:40:53LloreanAceNik: It's not implemented in a way that is acceptable
00:42:09AceNikllorean: ok, bt an you claer one more doubt for me, why is the h10 able to use 24-bit bmps only
00:42:32LloreanAceNik: Ask the patch author...
00:42:47stripwaxpixelma - hm..
00:43:13AceNikLlorean: its not concerning the patch , its a general statement, why is the h10 restricted to 24-bit bmp's
00:43:53Lloreanstripwax: There really should be no way that settings can cause such a crash. If they do, odds are high there's a bug in whatever setting is enabled, rather than the settings themselves being problematic
00:44:01LloreanAceNik: It's not.
00:44:21 Quit stripwax ("Miranda IM! Smaller, Faster, Easier. http://miranda-im.org")
00:44:53AceNikLlorean; whether it be the wps's files, or the backdrops, all only support 24-bit bmp
00:44:58pixelmawhat do you mean it's restricted? The display only uses bit-depth of 16-bit anyways (and Rockbox can scale down to it from higher depths)
00:45:12LloreanAceNik: You can also use 8-bit and 1-bit.
00:45:28LloreanThough not for the backdrop, probably.
00:45:52AceNikpixelma: thats what i didnt know, you gave the answer, tell me is a higher bit better or lower?
00:46:19pixelmaLlorean: I would assume it could also handle that but haven't tried
00:47:12AceNikwil 8-bit bmp's be better in terms of looks than 24-bit
00:47:38LloreanNo.. 8-bit means less colors
00:47:46LloreanThese are things you can google, and really have nothing to do with Rockbox
00:47:50 Quit moos ("Rockbox rules the DAP world")
00:48:05SoapI hate to be the bearer of bad news - but it appears the "conventional wisdom" that the Sansa acheives better battery runtime than the other PP targets is mistaken.
00:48:15 Quit ForgottenMemorie ()
00:48:26preglowjmspeex: hmm, for how many frames can the tail of the lpc filter go on with no input? i guess that's completely up to the coefs...
00:48:37LloreanSoap: Doesn't testing show it generally has a better *ratio* relative to the OF?
00:48:47jmworxpreglow: one frame
00:48:58SoapMind you, this is only the results from the first of my set of tests, but when comparing the Original Firmware to Rockbox I'm only seeing 70% of OF runtime.
00:49:01preglowjmworx: that matches my findings nicely
00:49:24PaulPositionSoap - Which is better than what the h10s and most iPods are getting, relative to OF, no?
00:49:37SoapLlorean, I haven't seen any controlled comparison before. There are some battery benches in the wiki, but no corresponding numbers from the original firmware.
00:49:54preglowjmworx: some of our voice clips end very suddenly, and it sounds like the filter tail is still not done if we cut immediately at the end of the frame
00:50:12SoapPaulPosition, Nobody has done the Nano recently - but the Video is @ 66% post HDD poweroff - and obviously that beast is spinning a disk.
00:50:15preglowso i just do one frame with bits = NULL to help the tail die
00:50:18 Quit ompaul (Client Quit)
00:50:25 Quit spiorf (Remote closed the connection)
00:50:38SoapSo I do not find it hard to believe at all that the Nano is at ~70%.
00:51:16amiconnPaulPosition, Soap: all PP5022 and PP5024 targets get about the same ratio
00:51:22AceNikh10 with the equalizer enabled is fantastic, but on the 20 GB i manage to get only 4 hrs, with eq off it gives atleast 5.30hrs, unlike OF that gives mre than 12 hrs with crappy quality
00:51:22amiconnPP5020 targets are worse
00:51:26jmworxpreglow: Also, because it needs integer number of frames and because of the lookahead, you might have lost some samples in the last frame
00:51:31preglowjhMikeS: seems i need to add that last green delta back, then :/
00:51:38AceNikamiconn: precisely
00:51:41LloreanSoap: I've always thought it was just better than the disk based targets (at least until recent optimizations in that area)
00:51:59preglowjmworx: so i really should do some padding on the encoder side as well, then
00:52:09Soapamiconn, I understand they should - the talk-around-the-water-cooler was that the Sansa was an exception for some reason - speculation abounded that the OF was inefficient or something else.
00:52:13PaulPositionSoap - Interresting. I guess I should try some OF bench on my h10.. Same files, no eq, and a lot of patience to "give a hear" every 15 minutes.. :p
00:52:35SoapPaulJam, yea - that is the resolution of my tests.
00:53:11amiconnPaulJam: Just start a (low quality) recording of the H10's output with your PC. Then you don't need to check every 15 minutes
00:53:24jmworxpreglow: I'd recommend padding one extra frame on the encoder side.
00:53:35preglowjmworx: btw, what was that i needed to do extra for lookahaed to be correct when encoding nDb for use in a wb decoder?
00:53:39Soapamiconn, I do that when I'm at home - but I've been on the road pretty constantly for months now.
00:53:43AceNikguys how about the field strength patch for radios, that seems to be pretty good an addition ?
00:53:45preglowjmworx: s/nDb/nb/
00:53:52jmworxyou can even "encode" it at 250 bps if you care that much about space
00:54:10amiconnLlorean, AceNik: The rockbox bmp loader supports all common bit depths, i.e. 1, 4, 8, 15/16, 24 and 32 bit
00:54:11preglownah, i'll just append a frame and let speex do what it wants
00:54:15Soapand 15 minute resolution is ~ 1.5% resolution @ 16 hours.
00:54:36amiconnExotic bit packings aren't supported for 15/16, 24 and 32 bit though, only the standard ones
00:54:37*PaulPosition 's no PaulJam. Don't insult that honest dev. guy by mixing him up me :o
00:54:51jmworxpreglow: If decoding nb with a wb decoder, you need to double the lookahead value (because the sampling rate's twice as high)
00:54:59 Quit iamben (Read error: 110 (Connection timed out))
00:55:07jhMikeSpreglow: what broke?
00:55:38AceNikamiconn: so how can i makea 32bit bmp, wont it hav better quality, but then why is there a thing where it does not accept bmp's saved from windows i presume they are 32-bit by default
00:55:49preglowjhMikeS: i found part of the reason why some short clips are cut too abruptly
00:55:59preglowjhMikeS: giving a nasty clicky sound
00:56:07amiconnI.e. 15 bit must be XRGB1555, 16 bit must be RGB565, and 32 bit must be ARGB8888 (with the A ignored) or XRGB8888
00:56:11Shaid32bit wont look any different, the extra 8 bits are just an alpha channel.
00:56:25jhMikeSpreglow: should I read back? or is it simple to just say?
00:56:52preglowjhMikeS: when a clip ends very abruptly, the lpc filter in speex doesn't always have time enough to reach zero level
00:57:03preglowjhMikeS: then it'll get cut and you'll have a click
00:57:07amiconnLlorean: Sansa *was* better than the disk based PP502x targets, but no longer is :)
00:57:13jhMikeSsimilar to mpa...to flush the filter banks out?
00:57:28pixelmaAceNik: re. accepting the setting - have you tried or do you base this on information in the wiki or the manual (because I know there are place which state it wrong)
00:57:35preglowjhMikeS: i tried to fix it a bit by decoding a zero frame after the last proper frame, using the code i removed during the last green delta commit...
00:57:42LloreanAceNik: The screen is only 16-bit, any bitmap more than 16 bit can't look better anyway
00:57:44SoapAnd why is battery-bench recording log entries every five seconds now? It did not use to do that.
00:57:47 Quit Workaphobia (Read error: 110 (Connection timed out))
00:57:51preglowjhMikeS: and that helps for most of the click, but jmspeex says i should pad one frame in the encoder too, and i'll try that
00:58:10jhMikeSI wouldn't think decoding an extra frame would help but not trimming the source so soon.
00:58:55jhMikeSwhy don't I hear clicks in any voice I've got?
00:59:00AceNikamiconn; yes i have tried loading a normal bmp, when i had started using rockbox, but it did not work, then i read up n saved to 24-bit
00:59:06amiconnLlorean: In fact it can, as both 24/32 bit formats and <= 8 bit formats use dithering, while 16 bit does not. But if the 16 bit bmp is pre-dithered, it will look as good as a 24 bit one, and you save a bit of loading time
00:59:16AceNikLlorean: so basically the h10 lcd itself sucks ?
00:59:22jhMikeSwere they encoded with more silence at the end?
00:59:26PaulPositionAcenik - You mean for that SplashScreen patch?
00:59:31Lloreanamiconn: Okay, so how 'bout "can't look better than a properly created 16-bit image"?
00:59:39amiconnyeah
00:59:59pixelmaSoap: it records everytime the measured voltage changes, on sansas this seems to happen very often (maybe the readout is not "stable"?)
01:00
01:00:08PaulPositionAcenik - Well, 16 bit is over 65k colour. Sucks is a loose term.
01:00:13LloreanAceNik: 16-bit color is 65,536 colors. Is that not enough for you?
01:00:16preglowjhMikeS: no
01:00:25preglowjhMikeS: the clips in question are cut really abruptly
01:00:36preglowlike numerals with espeak voice
01:00:44preglowespecially "two" and "three"
01:00:46AceNikguys is there a way my recordin in rockbox can be improved i do not follow the settigs, everytime i record, it frstly reduces the volume, n the recorded file is pretty low quality n mp3
01:00:59jhMikeSwait...the letter "a" was one with a problem. I think I mentioned it.
01:01:10jhMikeSJust a short "eh"
01:01:28AceNikpaulposition,Llorean: well yeah, but how come its not as bright & better like the ipods obviusly thier lcds are better
01:01:32preglowjmworx: an extra frame appended worked perfectly
01:01:43amiconnpreglow: We need to trim, otherwise the pauses between clips will become unbearable.
01:01:44PaulPositionAcenik - Line in or internal mic? Anyway, recording's settings are (duh!) in settins->recording.
01:01:53preglowjmworx: i assume speex uses 250 bits for that anyway, in vbr mode
01:01:54LloreanAceNik: LCD brightness and sharpness has nothing to do with the bit depth...
01:02:01preglowamiconn: trimming isn't the problem, i got that wrong
01:02:10PaulPosition(And I personnally find my h10 LCD *too* bright. So there... :p )
01:02:26preglowamiconn: unfortunately, this seems to be another bug that needs to update rbspeexenc :/
01:02:34 Join keanu [0] (n=keanu@unaffiliated/keanu)
01:02:49jhMikeSpreglow: does this mean the decoding need to reset on every clip when strung together or do any trimming?
01:02:52keanuWhat could cause usb_find_busses() to return something less than 0?
01:02:52amiconnAnd btw, the talk code plays a silence clip at the end for a reason - if it wouldn't, the end of the final clip would be swallowed on hwcodec
01:03:06AceNikWhat kind of seetings do i need to have recording on mic on h10 like the OF
01:03:11preglowjhMikeS: decoder isn't reset on every clip now?
01:03:13AceNikPaul Position: ok give up, just anted to get to know, because i find, ipod 5G's wps's way better than h10's
01:03:16jmworxpreglow: I don't think Speex can currently reduce the bit-rate *that* quickly
01:03:17amiconn(the mas stops without playing the last few frames when it runs out of data)
01:03:26preglowjmworx: makes sense
01:03:30amiconnI wonder why this silence clip doesn't help for speex
01:03:40preglowjmworx: how would i go about forcing that last frame at 250 bps, then?
01:03:45jhMikeSpreglow: at the start of a clip yes but only once for a string of clips (such as saying "123456")
01:04:00 Quit scorche|w ("CGI:IRC (Ping timeout)")
01:04:06preglowjhMikeS: probably should reset there as well
01:04:14amiconnjhMikeS: Hmm, then the silence clip should do the trick, shouldn't it?
01:04:16LloreanAceNik: Maybe the WPS designers working on H10 ones just aren't as clever then. The only real difference between *what* can be displayed is the size of the screen.
01:04:28preglowahh
01:04:33preglowthe silence clip should do the trick
01:04:37preglowi didn't know of any such
01:04:38amiconnpreglow: Why would the decoder need to be reset for every clip??
01:05:00preglowamiconn: so that decoder state for one clip doesn't affect another? sounds quite logical to me
01:05:07jmworxpreglow: disable VBR and set mode to 0.

01:05:39preglowand even mp3 should have its state reset between streams that don't belong together
01:05:44Soapthank you pixelma. I was assuming it was new behavior. My recent iPod benches also contained more entries than I was used to.
01:06:16SoapBut looking at the voltage levels - I see they are jumping back and forth quite a bit.
01:06:27jhMikeSpreglow: but mp3 prepends and appends silence instead as part of the format

01:07:32preglowso we're currently getting a zero clip? that makes little sense, then, i shouldn't be having these clicks
01:07:56preglowhow is this zero clip encoded?
01:08:01AceNikbye guys im off
01:08:02 Part AceNik
01:08:21amiconnLike normal, just that wavtrim isn't applied (of course)
01:08:22jhMikeSwhy would stringing an encoded 0 clip onto encoded audio work anyway?
01:08:23PaulPositionAceNik - Recording with the mic, I suggest Format:mp3, bitrate:at least 128, channel:mono... Then in the recording screen try with both 0db or 20db gain and see if there's clipping. You're better off with no clipping at all, at worst you'll just have to amplify your file in some post-processing program. Else, if it clips, you'll need filters and such.
01:08:38PaulPosition(I'm assuming voice, of course.)
01:08:43amiconnjhMikeS: Read back 6 minutes
01:08:50preglowjhMikeS: to allow the decoder enough time to let the lpc filter tail die before clipping audio
01:08:58PaulPositionAcenik - Cause to record music, any voc-recorder sucks big time.
01:09:01preglowjhMikeS: if the filter tail isn't dead, you'll hear it when it's cut
01:09:29PaulPositionPaulJam - Well, I'm a fanboy too, alrightee then ;)
01:09:48jhMikeStrue it has delays, but silence appended while encoding would have the proper gapless die out...well in mp3 anyway.
01:09:59preglowjhMikeS: just tried it, works great
01:10:12***Saving seen data "./dancer.seen"
01:10:18pixelmaSoap: maybe that's something else then, just repeating here what I've been told ;)
01:10:20preglowbut i'm thinking this encoded silence might as well be applied in the voice thread instead of in the encoder
01:10:22preglowto not waste space
01:10:39jhMikeSthough mpa would still have dieout time in that case too...yeah
01:10:39amiconnThe silence clip *is* applied in the talk code
01:11:04*jhMikeS doesn't want to waste space and if it work, well, it works.

01:11:54preglowit's pitched...
01:12:17amiconnThe silence clip is pure digital silence, not generated by the tts engine
01:12:46amiconnThe one shipped is 300ms

01:12:51preglowp_silence = get_clip(VOICE_PAUSE, &silence_len);
01:12:57preglowVOICE_PAUSE is " " in english.lang
01:13:00jhMikeSpreglow: why should the voice thread append it? it's done in talk.c already.
01:13:08amiconnpreglow: That's not used - check voice.pl
01:13:09preglowjhMikeS: then we need to find out why that doesn't work
01:13:14preglowamiconn: ok
01:13:30 Part pixelma
01:13:50preglowjhMikeS: fact of the matter is, if i append one frame, that is 20ms of audio with silence in the encoder, it works ok. no clicks, and if we add 300ms, something else must be wrong
01:13:50jhMikeSthe silence clip isn't available for some reason? is it trying to use it?

01:15:36jhMikeSbut is it being returned and used is what I'd like to know and how big is it?
01:16:28amiconnpreglow: The silence clip is *only* appended if the queue runs out, not in case of shutup(). But that's acceptable imo. shutup() should be fast
01:17:17jhMikeSthe voice thread won't cut itself off when decoding is finish. it just exhausts the data and lets pcm play till that runs out.
01:18:14preglowhmm
01:18:29preglowi can only see two clips passed to voice for each file number say
01:18:33preglowthat would be "file" + number

01:20:22preglowinserting a printf at the silence queue inserts does claim it gets inserted after both "file" and number
01:21:50amiconnThere's something that's now quite fishy for swcodec voice (not related to the current problem though)

01:23:47amiconnSince swcodec can stop mid-frame and restart without delay, that's most probably not a problem (but wasted code)

01:25:23preglowjhMikeS: well, i don't know how that exact mechanism works
01:25:42preglowin this case it does reset between the clip for "file" and the clip for a number

01:35:34preglowjhMikeS: i guess it is possible that the encoder is retaining some data it needs to spit out
01:35:41preglowthat would explain why one frame extra helps
01:36:02preglowjhMikeS: it does make sense, after all, i has some lookahaed
01:36:38amiconnEncoding the very same .wav, both with and without padding, and then comparing the produced speex bitstream might tell you...
01:36:47preglowamiconn: and indeed it shall!
01:39:26*jhMikeS is just going to get rid of the strange unboost cpu on block_w_tmo now but retain the per-thread boost control. much more sane.
01:39:49jhMikeS'course this decision has independent of any voice things
01:39:53jhMikeS*is
01:40:07preglowamiconn: yes, it does indeed seem to be the case, the file ends in the middle of an impulse if i don't encode an extra frame
01:41:25jhMikeSso the silence clip plays but the clip is abruptly cut off?
01:41:48jhMikeSthe non-silence clip that is
01:41:56preglowyes
01:42:04jhMikeSowey
01:42:05preglowproblem is that the silence clip should still be helping more than it is
01:42:16preglowright now it doesn't seem to be helping at all
01:42:37preglowif i do a null decode on a frame after the last frame, it helps, and that is essentially what the silence clip should be doing
01:43:21amiconnIt might be that the silence clip isn't needed at all on swcodec
01:43:25jhMikeSin speex, what's a NULL-decode?
01:43:56preglowjhMikeS: calling speex_decode_int() with NULL as bits poitner, that'll make speex assume we lost a packet
01:44:12jmworxjhMikeS: there's two things here you may be confusing
01:44:12amiconn(it might improve things slightly while music is playing, bevause it lengthens the period of reduced music volume)
01:44:21jhMikeSjmwork: quite likely
01:44:34 Quit Jon-Kha (Remote closed the connection)
01:44:35jmworxThere's the packet loss concealment you get when you pass a null pointer for the bits −− you most likely don't want that
01:44:51preglowgood, then i can keep that code commented out :>
01:45:09amiconnThe packet loss thingy might be useful for talk_force_shutup()
01:45:09jmworxAlso, there's a "null mode" which is mode zero, aka 250 bps, aka null excitation that just let's the LPC filter ring.
01:45:31amiconn(iiuc)
01:45:32preglowahhh, i thought they were the same
01:45:46jmworxamiconn: why would you use PLC?
01:45:57preglowhe probably means null mode
01:46:14amiconnIn order to avoid a click when a clip is cut
01:46:31jmworxpreglow: no, the PLC will actually make up a "plausible" excitation using the pitch and other stuff. null mode just drives everything to zero in a clean way
01:46:42preglowjmworx: that's good to know
01:47:13amiconntalk_force_shutup is for when the previous queue contents is flushed immediately and replaced by something new
01:47:14jmworxamiconn: you'd need to decode a "crafted packet" that basically contains a null byte
01:47:45jmworx(the null mode is mode zero, so its content is five zeros in a row)
01:47:53jmworx(I'm talking at the bit level)
01:48:14preglowjmworx: but yeah, if we want the output to die after a clip, the right thing to do would be appending an extra empty frame when encoding, right?
01:48:28jhMikeSyou literally send one byte of "0"?
01:48:35preglowjhMikeS: no
01:48:39jmworxpreglow: You could alternatively do that at decoding time.

01:49:44preglowjhMikeS: it s...
01:49:47jmworxpreglow: exactly, one byte of zero contains 8 zeros :-)
01:49:50preglowjhMikeS: i forgot that the mode bits are placed first
01:50:02preglowif you see it in a speex file, it'll be 250 bits, no?
01:50:23jmworxpreglow: 5 bits per frame * 50 frames per second = 250 bps
01:50:38jmworx(not 250 bits, that's an awful waste for encoding zeros)
01:50:51preglowheh
01:50:56jhMikeS:)
01:51:04preglowso it's nb/wb bit + 4 bit mode per frame?
01:51:08jhMikeSthat's easy to add in there
01:51:23jmworxpreglow: exactly
01:51:37preglowjmworx: but the encoder would retain nothing of value to flush even if the last frame ended really abruptly?
01:51:49jmworxand there's no need to specify the 3 wb mode bits even if it's a wideband stream
01:52:01jhMikeSwhich bit is the nb/wb bit? the leftmost?
01:52:05preglowthe first
01:52:15jmworxpreglow: what you you mean?
01:52:35jhMikeSis anything compelled to byte alignment?
01:53:01jmworxjhMikeS: It's not exactly a nb/wb bit in that even for wb, you'll see a nb bit first. Then after the wideband, you'll see a "high band" 1.
01:53:02preglowjmworx: i'm just thinking that the lookahead might mean we should allow the encoder to go on for one frame more than we actually have
01:53:06preglowand pad that with zeroes
01:53:35jmworxtrue if you care about all your samples
01:53:47preglowand we do, like i say, the samples end really abruptly
01:53:50preglowand we want those last samples
01:54:12amiconnspeex does not have variable last frame? (just curious)
01:54:13pregloweh, those _clips_ end really abruptly
01:54:23preglowamiconn: no variable frames if you mean size in samples
01:54:30amiconnI do mean that
01:54:38preglowframes are always 160, 320 or 640 samples wide
01:54:47preglowamiconn: gapless is handled by ogg
01:54:50amiconnSo gapless speex would be problematic? (not that it really matters for speech)

01:55:17amiconnSo the container just specifies a point to cut?
01:55:32jmworxamiconn: gapless works fine. You just encode (indirectly through Ogg) the number of samples to drop at the beginning and at the end.
01:55:42amiconnThat's not really different to the lame tag for mp3 iiuc
01:55:42preglowjmworx: but then it wouldn't make sense to force the last frame at a low bitrate either, no? since the encoder still has valid data to spit out and all
01:55:53jmworxpreglow: indeed
01:56:45bsaintdoes anyone know where i can get more information on the flash translation layer used in the 1st gen ipod nano?
01:57:09preglowjmworx: second thing, is it possible to pre-compensate for the differing lookahead of nb decoded in wb mode at the encoding side? the decoder won't really know if it has a nb file or wb file, and always decodes in wb mode
01:57:14preglowbsaint: there's a datasheet on it
01:57:20preglowbsaint: it's a separate chip
01:57:22amiconnWhat happens if I use non-standard rates for speex? Since the number of samples per frame is fixed, I'd expect the frame duration to change...
01:57:39preglowamiconn: frame duration in samples remains the same
01:57:50amiconnI mean duration as in time
01:57:57preglowthat changes, of course
01:58:07preglowit pretty much has to if frame size is constant

04:08:47Guerini've now reinstalled the suspect x5l batteries (looks like 3x110mAh) to see how that goes

04:11:08LloreanIf Rockbox is getting >= to the OF, then the battery is a problem.
04:11:29jpt9ah.
04:11:36LloreanIt's not unheard of for off-brand batteries to have significantly less capacity than is claimed
04:11:41psycho_maniacand it is also on the wiki.

04:27:53LloreanDoes your WPS have a peak meter?

04:29:15minareti know, but where? sorry
04:29:24LloreanI don't understand what you mean.
04:29:32LloreanThe screen you see while music is playing
04:29:34minareti dont see a bar

04:30:51minareti think that fixed it
04:30:55minaretthanks!
04:31:05LloreanHow much CPU it uses depends on how many filters you use.
04:31:13minaretk
04:31:14LloreanSo, try using only 1 or 2 or 3 of the EQ bars instead of all five
04:31:20minaretI'll mess around with that then, thank you

05:26:20lostlogicor should I jsut be building E200?
05:26:27krazykitthe latter
05:26:31lostlogicthanks.
05:26:57krazykitit's the same hardware, after all. the former target is for the bootloader and such, i think.
05:29:32psycho_maniaci have no reason to compile my own builds now that the acceleration scroll wheel patch has been committed.
05:29:47Lloreanlostlogic: You could fix the build target. :)
05:30:14jhMikeSAny reason there's an e200r build? I've been throwing the same e200 build on both my devices.
05:30:56jhMikeSjust the bootloader I'd guess
05:32:07LloreanAs far as I know, it's just the bootloader, yeah
05:36:38psycho_maniacso we dont need a e200r build?
05:37:39LloreanWe need it for the bootloader
05:38:10psycho_maniacoh alright. i understand.
05:39:47jhMikeShmmm...wonder if it could just run the same bootloader (auto-detect type)
05:42:43jhMikeSwithout yield_codecs, codecs beat buffering to the full point (yield every 1ms in the ata driver which is actually better anyway).

06:22:24LloreanThey shared a backdrop, then the WPS got the %X tag so it could have one of its own

06:25:22LloreanTrusting a theme author to do it is silly, just because you're either saying "Black can't be used as a backdrop" or you're saying something similar to that at least
06:26:23PaulPositionLlorean - Well, logic does say that a background should contrast with the foreground... (???)
06:26:37kkurbjuncan someone give some pointers on how they would expect the build system for a target with an ARM and a DSP to work
06:26:58PaulPositionLlorean - Sudoku uses bitmap tiles, so it needed explicit colours so as not to look shite. But for the rest.. ?
06:27:03LloreanPaulPosition: Yes, but if you use a backdrop image that the text contrasts with, but your previous theme used a background color, that the new text *doesn't* contrast with, but the new theme didn't reset the color because you should never see it...

06:28:25kkurbjunI suppose they could be either, I'll get cat on here and he can comment on what he expects to do since he's writing it
06:28:33kkurbjunspeak of the devil:-D
06:29:01eigma;)
06:29:10kkurbjunright now the build system treats all the C files as if they should be compiled for one arch
06:29:11PaulPositionLlorean - But if it works with the basic rockbox packaged themes, and it is pure logic, surely the onus would be on the theme makers to make it right? Of course it'd be simpler to make them all black-on-white but people would whine, won't they?
06:29:13jhMikeSI'd think loading them in at boot time from disk would be the best way - no mem use - so long as a program loads quickly.
06:29:36kkurbjuneigma the question was: jhMikeS: will the binaries be loaded and fed to the DSP or embedded?
06:29:41eigmajhMikeS: the DSP images? they're like 6 KB
06:30:06jhMikeSStill 6k I wouldn't want hanging around in RAM all the time. :)
06:30:08LloreanPaulPosition: Well, there's two sides to that.
06:30:10eigmaI suppose we could slurp them from disk, but for right now, I have a neat little tool that generates an #include-able dsp_image_*.h
06:30:22LloreanPaulPosition: One: You tell all theme authors to ALWAYS include a backdrop, foreground, and background color line.
06:30:22PaulPositionLlorean - Wait... You speak of the 'browse to new backdrop' sort of function that people may use... ?
06:30:25LloreanThis doesn't seem to work.
06:30:49LloreanTwo: You assume that people won't make perfect themes, and you safeguard against the hazards in plugins by having them explicitly choose color schemes
06:30:51LloreanMuch like Jewels does
06:30:51 Quit webguest73 ("CGI:IRC (EOF)")
06:30:53eigmaso, I was telling kkurbjun, I don't think we should implement this as "two side-by-side toolchains".
06:30:55PaulPositionLlorean - The backdrop isn't important. Rockboxed doesn't use one.
06:31:07eigmathe DSP images are very small, very well-contained and interface minimally with the rest of the code
06:31:18eigmaa few well-placed custom make rules would do the trick nicely imho
06:31:22LloreanPaulPosition: What does this have to do with any single theme?
06:31:57eigmabut 1) I don't know where to put the rules and 2) I don't know how to properly define the dependencies so that they tie in with the rest of the build system
06:32:03PaulPositionLlorean - ... I meant there's no need to make them include a backdrop like you said.
06:32:08kkurbjuneigma, how would we integrate the images into codecs if we didn't load from the disk/build them all in the main image?
06:32:41jhMikeSI wouldn't want any more effort to compling it and throwing it on my device than there is now that's for sure.
06:33:05kkurbjuncodecs are loaded when needed - I guess the codec could include the dsp code it needs to load
06:33:05eigmaby "load from disk", I understood "load from a file in .rockbox, like .rockbox/pcm_codec.out". right now, it's set up for "#include in dsp-dm320.c", and therefore "bundled with main image"
06:33:33eigmaah, I think you may be thinking too far ahead. I don't want to do dynamic loading/unloading yet
06:33:39kkurbjungotcha
06:33:40eigmajust a single system-wide codec that provides PCM passthrough
06:33:42jhMikeSdepends, perhaps anything could be available if needed
06:34:09eigmaonce we have genius DSP programmers who have implemented MP3, OGG, etc., we can think about dynamic loading
06:34:10jhMikeSwell, it can't stay that simple. the codec "thread" must run on DSP eventually.
06:34:10LloreanPaulPosition: No, they need to include a backdrop LINE.
06:34:21LloreanPaulPosition: Basically, they need to explicitly clear the previous one if they're NOT supposed to have one
06:34:25PaulPositionLlorean - Ah right... my bad.
06:35:13*eigma still thinks generalizing the scheduler to the DSP core is overkill
06:35:30*jhMikeS never said anything about generalizing
06:35:55kkurbjunjhMikeS: do you have any pointers on where rules could be added for a different arch, I'm not very familiar with the build system myself
06:36:08eigmayou're saying that there will be a data structure inside the rockbox scheduler that represents the DSP's thread of execution, correct?
06:36:35 Quit joshin (No route to host)
06:36:40*jhMikeS gets the impression people tend to think simple things are complex. The shared memory access would make it just too easy.
06:37:16jhMikeSeimga: maybe, maybe not. I suppose if I did the work, I'd decide on the best course at that time.
06:37:38eigmahmmm... can you clarify "the codec "thread" must run on DSP eventually"?
06:37:42LloreanPaulPosition: That's one of the greatest problems. Most themes, if they don't set something, just leave off the line entirely, instead of explicitly putting the line there to set it to the default
06:37:47PaulPositionLlorean - Actually, now that I think of it, the theme I just tried has its screen cluttered because the maker used some unofficial patches to set margins in the menus.. On official builds, this wouldn't happen and his backdrop wouldn't cut the mustard. :o
06:38:01*lostlogic loads up music on the e200 −− is 40-45 minutes the norm for fully loading one of these here lil' flash doohickers?
06:38:07PaulPositionLlorean - So in a way, I guess I'm hunting windmills..
06:39:09LloreanPaulPosition: Very few backdrops that work in an official menu should cause problems in a plugin, this is true.
06:39:30jhMikeSeigma: the core code wouldn't know the difference and a codec would load on the dsp and interface with core threads using kernel objects. the threading could be really simple since it wouldn't contain context switching code...just sleep/wake code and the sync primitives.
06:39:55PaulPositionLlorean - So out of courtesy for the guy who asked me for it, I'm gonna do a "remove backdrop" patch but WON'T be putting it on the tracker for it to be rejected. :p
06:40:17LloreanI'm not sure it'd be rejected.
06:40:33LloreanBut I feel that just having them trust the themes isn't the most elegant way
06:40:52jhMikeSeigma: btw, does the DSP have an atomic swp instruction or the like?
06:40:54LloreanI'd rather be able to set a "plugin theme" of some sort, just a foreground and background color for plugins to use, separate from the normal one, or something
06:41:54 Quit eigma (Read error: 104 (Connection reset by peer))
06:42:21PaulPositionLlorean - That's interesting. I'll ponder that and maybe try to find the knowledge required to make something out of that idea.. Sort of like the 'radio wps' that's on the tracker... Then again, those two would add to the settings and thus the binary, no?

06:42:50eigmajhMikeS: sounds like a good direction.. I want to clarify some details though.
06:44:25LloreanPaulPosition: Yes, but at the same time, they're not something that can be handled by say, preprocessing a file on the PC or anything else.
06:44:57 Quit eigma (Read error: 104 (Connection reset by peer))
06:45:06LloreanAnd in terms of plugins at least, it's a real usability concern, and I think the most elegant solution is either having each plugin have its own explicit color choices, or have it read the color choices from settings and use user choices for plugin colors
06:45:33PaulPositionLlorean - Thanks anyway :) Every day I spend some time over here, I feel like I go to bed a lil'bit less stupid than I was getting out of it in the morning.

06:48:02jhMikeSmailboxes can generate interrupts?
06:48:19eigmajhMikeS: there is a shared memory are between the ARM and DSP, and there is also interrupts in each direction. that's it. can the current scheduler code make use of this?
06:49:02jhMikeSinterrupts are used to wake cores when all threads are asleep already.

06:49:51webguest06hey, i've just installed rockbox with the automated installer, and now my ipod shows "can't find rockbox.ipod"
06:50:02webguest06what did i do wrong during install?
06:50:43eigmasounds like a pretty good match to the DM320
06:50:46psycho_maniaci think you just installed the bootloader. extract the rockbox.zip file
06:51:09eigmaanyway, we kind of strayed from the original topic of the conversation
06:51:29jhMikeSeigma: for pp is absoltely symmetrical thought since everything is shared but the caches
06:51:33webguest06the automated installer doesn't extract the rockbox.zip file?

06:52:48JdGordonand compile in the binary
06:53:06JdGordon.. or that
06:53:29eigmathat was Re to your previous message about bin2c btw
06:53:38JdGordonyeah, i figured :)
06:54:00JdGordonwoudlnt it be better having the dsp code in the rockbox binary so we dont have more to read from disk on boot?
06:54:57eigmawell, whether it's in the binary or in a separate file, the net disk read is the same
06:55:20eigmaputting it in a separate file saves main RAM because it can be unloaded as soon as it's put into the DSP RAM
06:55:33JdGordonyeah, but its 6k... not a big deal
06:55:39eigmayeah, I agree
06:56:40webguest06it still gives me the "rockbox.ipod not found" message
06:56:51eigmaI understand that RAM is at a premium, but 1) the image is very small and there's only one.. this will become more of an issue with multiple codecs 2) the m:robe, after all, has 64MB of RAM. 6K/64MB < 0.01%
06:56:54webguest06what do i do?
06:58:05webguest06anyone?
06:58:08krazykitwebguest06, extract it yourself
06:58:13webguest06i'm using the automated installer
06:58:22webguest06i have the .zip
06:58:33webguest06i just don't know how to install it to the iPod
06:58:47psycho_maniacextract it to the root of the drive of your player.
07:00
07:00:13jhMikeSeigma: but I'm realizing there's some sticky details re: thread structs...well, that's what makes it interesting to attempt to make the DSP look like part of the CPU anyway. :)
07:01:35eigmayes, that was the next thing I was going to ask.. can the scheduler handle heterogenous sets of registers, etc?
07:01:43webguest06okay
07:02:01webguest06i copied the zip file to the iPod and extracted it
07:02:06webguest06but i get the same message
07:02:16krazykitwebguest06, do you have a .rockbox directory in the root of the drive?
07:03:16krazykityou should have some path like F:\.rockbox\ with a bunch of folders and some files, including rockbox.ipod
07:03:43jhMikeSeigma: it wouldn't need to since those would be defined based on the core it's made for (as well as what's included). it has no basic need for thread structs to be in an array though so they can be anywhere. I've considered caller-allocated thread struct which would also mean no unused ones and irrelevant placement.
07:03:53webguest06i'm using MacOS 10.4
07:04:06webguest06so all i see is iPod
07:04:19webguest06and there's no .rockbox directory

07:05:00webguest06yeah

07:05:45webguest06yes the bootloader seems to be working fine
07:05:49*krazykit points out that Macs hide .files by default, so you may need to show hidden files
07:05:57webguest06oh right

07:26:12amiconneigma: (1) It is never a wise idea to waste a resource just because you seem to have plenty of it on a target. No resources are infinite. (2) Reading the pcm codec from a separate file does take longer than if it would be built into the main binary. That's because of the extra file open().
07:27:17amiconnThat said, I think a separate file would be easier, and btw, I am thinking about doing the same for the pcm codec on archos when integrating pcm playback+recording
07:28:05amiconnSituation is a bit different there because this codec isn't code we have written, it's not even open source
07:28:28 Quit eigma (Read error: 113 (No route to host))
07:29:07jhMikeSwill anyone actually perceive a file open() if the disk already has to be spinning for some reason? I pull that trick to hide probing the disk for recording filename without RTC when the codec must also be loaded.

07:34:29amiconnA single file as such won't be noticeable, I just wanted to point out the fact that it doesn't come for free. test_disk.rock also measures open() performance. Without dircache (and that's usually the case during bootup, unless dircache needed a foreground scan), open() performance is in the order of 20..50 files/second unless it's a fast flash target
07:34:35woodensoulHey all, anyone around that knows a thing or two about Rockbox on the Archos line and replacing the hard drive in those units?

07:45:02Buschelquestion about the yesterdays submit for ata-timing (fix for nano): in ata_device_init there is now no setting left for non-Nano. As far as I can see this function is called for all targets, not only for nano. Is this correct?
07:45:25woodensoulThanks, that will help. I'm looking for a list of features implemented/unimplemented for the Archos line.
07:46:42woodensoulI think I found it. It's on the 'Why Rockbox' page.
07:47:51woodensoulNo RPG or crossfading support for Archos is a bummer
07:48:54lostlogicis it normal for Sansa to be continuously slowly filling the compressed buffer as opposed to quicly filling the whole thing?
07:49:07woodensoulI was thinking of taking the HDD out of my Creative Zen Xtra and putting it into one of the Archos models so I could have 60GB of Rockbox music.
07:50:58JdGordonlostlogic: seems to be filling quickly on mine...
07:51:18JdGordoncould still be a problem with the ata_is_Active() if thats still being used

09:01:49woodensoulDoes anyone know if the only way to get gapless on the Archos units is by the -nogap switch?
09:02:41woodensoulGapless doesn't work with LAME 3.90.3 or later without the -nogap switch?
09:02:55psycho_maniacyou could by a different player
09:04:59amiconnwoodensoul: Gapless only works with -nogap on archos. This has nothing to do with lame version
09:06:56amiconnThat said, you won't notice a gap between usual album tracks even without -nogap, as the gap will be 26ms at maximum, 13ms on average. It's only relevant for live albums where there is no silence at track change
09:07:32amiconn(or similar things, like dj mix album)
09:10:24***Saving seen data "./dancer.seen"
09:11:10woodensoulI mentioned the version number because it's my understanding that that version and later version added the gap tag info which is how rockbox achieves gapless on Software Codec targets.
09:11:51woodensoulamiconn: what about ReplayGain? Not currently supported, but possible for the Archos line?
09:13:41amiconnThere is a patch for replaygain on the tracker that needs testing and a bit of cleanup/improvement

09:15:09amiconnIt's on my todo list, but not high priority (since I don't use rg at all)
09:17:16woodensoulI'm looking into getting one of the Archos line to put the 60GB hard drive from my Zen Xtra in it to have 60GB of rockbox music. What's your overall impression of Rockbox on them?

09:17:41woodensoulBattery life, etc.
09:18:26amiconnBattery life is quite good. It's better than in the OF
09:18:29linuxstbZagor: Good morning. I assume you've seen FS #8189 ?
09:18:59woodensoulHow many hours for Rockbox? I don't have one yet, so I don't know what the OF gets.
09:19:15amiconnIf you plan on getting one of the models powered by NiMH cells, I'd strongly recommend to get a set of those new generation cells with significantly reduced self discharge
09:19:53woodensoulThanks. Is the old 6000 capable of displaying the default WPS? I read something about the LCD being different on those.
09:19:56Zagorlinuxstb: yes I have. interesting!
09:21:10amiconnThe Player series has a charcell type lcd
09:21:43amiconnOf course it can display its default wps - but it's a different default than on the other devices
09:23:09amiconnWith 2100mAh cells (typical capacity of the new generation) you can expect around 15 hours of runtime if you don't use the backlight often
09:23:50 Join J-23 [0] (n=aldwulf@a187.net131.okay.pl)
09:24:00woodensoulDon't all the devices display the first one listed here as the default?

09:24:09J-23Hello!
09:24:30woodensoulBut obviously the Archos can't display Gigabeat F WPSs.
09:24:41woodensoulcharcell?
09:25:31Bagderwoodensoul: not graphical, character based
09:25:38woodensoul"The old player has a limited LCD with no support for double line height and only four user definable characters instead of eight." What does this mean?
09:26:07Bagderwoodensoul: you should aim for a recorder model really if you're looking into archos models

09:27:02Bagderdid anyone read the vulnerability report on FLAC?
09:27:11Bagderit is so badly written...
09:27:14linuxstbBriefly...
09:27:27Bagderit just speaks of FLAC and then mentions flaws
09:27:32woodensoulWell I'm actually looking to spend as little money as possible because I have way too many Rockboxed players and I just wanted something to throw the 60GB hard drive from my Zen Xtra into.
09:27:34Bagderbut FLAC is a format, not code...
09:27:45radinpJust curious but is anyone working on the text-viewer search feature?
09:27:55peturit speaks about flaws in a certain lib that is used a lot
09:28:18peturlibFLAC
09:28:22J-23Search in text-viewer?
09:28:27Bagderah, yes it does down in the end
09:28:41woodensoulBadger: what do those (recorders v1) go for on eBay?
09:28:47peturfixed in libFLAC 1.2.1
09:28:47Bagderwoodensoul: no idea
09:29:02Bagderand we don't use libFLAC...
09:29:28GodEateris our flac code all our own then ?
09:29:35peturso all is well....
09:29:37Bagderno, ffmpeg
09:29:47Bagder"libffmpegFLAC"
09:29:53linuxstbThe decoder is ffmpeg, the flac parsing code and vorbis comments parsers are our own.
09:30:01radinpJ-23: There's a feature request to search for a specific string in the text-viewer plugin. I was thinking of adding a regular expression library in support of this feature.
09:30:36linuxstbIt's obvious that our parsers might well have similar vulnerabilities though - and not just FLAC/vorbis comments...
09:31:24Bagdersure
09:32:08woodensoulBadger: why is the recorder v1 superior to the others archos players?
09:32:12linuxstbBagder: But petur said "all is well" ;)
09:32:22Bagder:-)
09:32:43*petur shuts up and concentrates on payed work
09:32:51Bagderwoodensoul: it is really up to each and every one of course, but I like a graphical display and AA batteries
09:33:40woodensoulI will probably leave it in my car and have it plugged in to a cigarette to AC / 3 prong adapter.
09:33:49woodensoulThe other models don't use AA batteries?
09:33:57Bagderwoodensoul: the v2 and fm don't have AA
09:34:00radinpLet me rephrase it, search would be for text_editor plugin not text-viewer.
09:34:09Bagderthe recorder also has slightly better sound than the player
09:34:13woodensoulThe ondio don't, but the 6000 does, right?
09:34:28Bagderwoodensoul: yes, the 6000 ("the player") has AA
09:34:35woodensoulI thought the recorder doesn't have line out.
09:35:50woodensoulIf I were to put in the drive from the Xtra to the 6000, can I plug in the 6000 and format the drive through windows? The Zen Xtra has its own file system.
09:36:20Bagderyes you can
09:36:33Bagderand correct, the recorder has no separate line out

09:37:28woodensoulFor connecting to my car stereo line in, or home stereo, which is better, the recorder or the player?
09:39:02J-23radinp: :) reading ebooks on Rockbox will be more comfortable
09:39:46radinpHey, now there's an idea. How about a bookmarking option?

09:40:34LinusNJdGordon: actually, yes, but i took the liberty to "fix" that as well when i removed the tabs
09:41:10JdGordonah there was tabs int here also?
09:41:15linuxstbI thought it was required for the braces surrounding a function? Although that may not be CONTRIBUTING...
09:41:17LinusNplenty plenty
09:41:34JdGordonthe web diff thing doesnt show whitespace changes.. so ok
09:41:44Bagderonly if you select unidiff
09:42:09linuxstbJdGordon: From CONTRIBUTING - "Braces for function declarations are put in a new line under the name"
09:42:23JdGordonok
09:42:29J-23radinp: Yes!
09:44:22linuxstbZagor: Is that last comment in FS #8189 (about index/mask being wrong, and the endpoints being switched) directed at your patch?
09:45:44ZagorI think so, but I disagree with him. if it was that wrong, nothing would work.
09:45:59linuxstbThat's what I would have thought...
09:46:15Bagderzagor: still time to get that code into SVN now, right?
09:46:25JdGordon.... OR.... with the change everything could work bettererer!!!>...
09:47:00linuxstbZagor: Do you think his patch will have the same problem with 512-byte transfers - hence the panics?
09:47:47Zagorlinuxstb: I did a quick test and indeed it seems his patch has the same problem. the first big transfer fails.
09:50:29Zagorthe panic I saw was a stkov(0), which seems rather strange.

10:08:27markunwould it make sense to replace the 12k text buffer in the viewer by rb->plugin_get_buffer ?
10:09:04Bagderyes, I would say so
10:09:21Bagderthen it could be much bigger on most targets
10:09:39markunthe 12k is taken from the plugin buffer anyway, right?
10:09:44Bagderyes
10:09:57markunI'll change it tonight, have to go to work now
10:10:51markunI see one possible problem:
10:11:07 Join courtc [0] (n=court@c-24-99-230-218.hsd1.ga.comcast.net)
10:11:53markunif you bookmark with a very large top_ptr and the next time you view the file the buffer is smaller you will read past the buffer
10:14:16JdGordonthe buffer size shuold stay constant for the plugin
10:14:25JdGordonunless something major happens
10:14:49Bagderimho, that sounds like a crappy design of the plugin...
10:15:29markunBagder: we should only have to save 1 pointer, right?
10:15:34Bagderyes
10:15:53Bagderand that's an index into the file, so it would work no matter what the new buffer size is
10:16:07markunI'll try to change that as well, but roolku will not be happy if the bookmark file format
10:16:10markunchanges
10:16:36Bagderwell, perhaps you can use a dummy for the second value to keep the syntax consistent
10:16:58BagderI didn't check the details, I'm speculating here
10:17:09markunyes, it's easy to do
10:17:22*markun is off to work now..
10:18:33*Bagder added a "not the v2 models" on the sandisk line on the front page
10:19:18*JdGordon would actually like viewer to buffer the entire file into the audio buffer (with some help from MoB so it doesnt have to stop playback to do it)
10:19:45Bagderwhat kind of super huge text files are you using? ;-)
10:19:59linuxstbRockbox manual?
10:20:00JdGordonim not... but 12k isnt really all that large
10:20:23BagderI bet the rockbox manual as text fits in the plugin buffer on most targets
10:20:55Bagderand really, it can't use the audio buffer
10:21:08Bagdermob is nice, but you'd have to fragment the buffer badly
10:21:30JdGordonanother thing that would be ncie for viewer (apart from renamening it) is multiple bookmarks per file and a nice ui for it.. then we could stick the manual on with preloaded bookmarks for the chapters
10:22:34linuxstbIsn't that another project? i.e. a viewer for hyperlinked documents with nice formatting?
10:23:00JdGordoncould be
10:26:35JdGordonis rom.lds used for rombox ?

11:40:53sqgl_LakeMacq_Bagder, if it was stuck on, then ON would not do it's toggling trick when playign a file.
11:41:07Bagderbut why does it boot when you insert the batteries?
11:41:31sqgl_LakeMacq_Good question
11:41:35LinusNaustriancoder: it is, because you will get a nasty humming sound during boot if we don't reset it

11:42:05BagderI haven't used my recorder in a long time...
11:42:46sqgl_LakeMacq_Bagder, ON button also performs the neat little Rockbox trick of resuming play from where it left off when i pullled the batteries out.
11:43:35amiconnBagder: Yes it is normal. The hardware defaults to on
11:43:49austriancoderLinusN: but we could also call audiohw_init() or?
11:45:07austriancoderLinusN: as it calls the reset...
11:45:55LinusNprobably
11:46:26sqgl_LakeMacq_Bagder, so someone still makes a player with 2.5" drive? Does RockBox work on any such player?

11:50:08austriancoderLinusN: okay.. I will bring the audiohw_reset back
11:50:45sqgl_LakeMacq_LinusN, yes, you are right, makes sense. Thanks.
11:51:12LinusNsqgl_LakeMacq_: it can probably be repaired
11:51:48sqgl_LakeMacq_austriancoder, are you happy with audio quality of iriver? i am looking for small player for a pal, and was surprised how crap audio on my Creative Muvo is.
11:52:06LinusNsqgl_LakeMacq_: i am very happy with my iriver
11:52:17austriancodersqgl_LakeMacq_: I am sorry.. i own no iriver
11:52:18sqgl_LakeMacq_LinusN, repaired eh? I'll open up and have a look right now.
11:52:26LinusNthe h100 series rocks
11:52:44LinusNstill one of the best daps ever made if you ask me
11:52:50BagderI have tin ears, all my players sound good to me ;-)
11:53:10sqgl_LakeMacq_"tin ears"... not heard that oen before :)
11:53:32 Part J-23
11:53:43sqgl_LakeMacq_I use my Creative for spoken podcasts so am not bothered. But was surprised since they were pioneers in audiocards for PC's.
11:54:16sqgl_LakeMacq_*and* the FM tuner doesn't pick up well at all.
11:58:20linuxstbI didn't think Creative had a reputation for quality soundcards - just popular ones...
12:00

12:03:02austriancoderLinusN: fine..
12:04:05LinusNamiconn: there?
12:04:41linuxstbIt doesn't seem very clean to have hardware-specific inits in the bootloader, rather than calling a driver function...
12:06:07LinusNlinuxstb: i don't really mind, since the bootloader is hardware specific
12:06:21LinusNaustriancoder: why is it important to remove audiohw_reset()?
12:06:41austriancoderLinusN: to get a clean api...
12:06:58linuxstbBut if some hardware requires audiohw_reset...
12:07:02LinusNis it cleaner without the reset?
12:07:45LinusNwell, the audiohw_reset() could be moved to the target tree
12:08:30austriancoderLinusN: audiohw_reset is only used by one bootloader.. but wait some minutes.. i will show you then a patch

14:54:04jmspeexat the very least, you get 5 ms for each, either in nb or in wb

17:57:42rotzbouwhi there
17:58:28rotzbouwsince recently, my ipod video (60gb) takes minutes to mount, on any OS. is this a known problem?
17:58:38rotzbouweven when the ipod has just been reset and is empty.
17:59:01lostlogicrotzbouw: no problem for me on my 30g
17:59:14rotzbouwwhat build do you use?
17:59:20lostlogiclatest svn
17:59:26rotzbouwhm :<
17:59:33lostlogicbut rockbox build has _nothing_ to do with mounting to the OS
17:59:38rotzbouwit's weird, because it really only occurs when rockbox is installed.
17:59:39lostlogicthat's handled by the original firmware bootloaders
18:00
18:00:05marazrotzbouw: does it also happen on other computers?
18:00:14rotzbouwyes
18:00:26marazrotzbouw: does it happen if you boot into the apple firmware and then plug into your computer?
18:00:31rotzbouwno
18:00:37rotzbouwor no
18:00:46rotzbouwit doesn't happen if there is no rockbox installed
18:01:03rotzbouwlemme see if it happens with the lock enabled
18:01:11linuxstblostlogic: Rockbox does have a little to do with it - a) It inits the USB controller to distinguish between a charger and a computer at the other end of the cable; b) it reboots into the emergency disk mode, rather than Apple's main OS (which is reportedly slower)
18:01:38marazthis is correct.
18:02:08 Join pixelma [0] (i=pixelma@rockbox/staff/pixelma)
18:02:10lostlogiclinuxstb: sure, I guess I assumed that he was talking about after the USB screen is displayed, may be a wrong assumption.
18:02:11marazthe "rockbox way" of using the USB mode is generally a lot slower than using the "real" apple disk mode.
18:03:17rotzbouwapple firmware is faster
18:03:59lostlogicemergency disk mode is limited to USB1.1
18:04:07rotzbouwbut when rockbox isn't installed at all, it's a lot faster
18:04:31 Join nanok [0] (n=nanok@194.145.183.75)
18:04:34rotzbouwrockbox is only working in usb 1.1 mode?
18:05:15rotzbouwthat'd be an easy explanation but i can't recall it taking so long when i used it first. might have been the general enthusiasm about the program, though ;>
18:05:22krazykitrockbox doesn't touch emergency mode code.
18:05:49lostlogicrotzbouw: read carefully: Rockbox boots to emergency disk mode, which operates in USB1.1. If you used emergency disk mode w/o rockbox installed, it would be 1.1 as well. The only 2.0 mode currently is from within the apple firmware plugging in USB. You can do this with rockbox installed by rebooting and holding menu to get into the OF and then pluggin in USB.
18:06:24parafini think it's hold, not menu
18:06:30rotzbouwit's hold
18:06:33lostlogicokfine
18:06:40rotzbouwand yes, it loads faster that way, thanks

18:11:26crashdipod hold is boot into OF now isnt it?
18:11:50rotzbouwcorrect
18:12:02parafinhold in bootloader code boots OF, hold in rockbox booting clears the settings
18:12:06crashdparafin: might be worth updating your bootloader then
18:12:23crashdoh, i see what you mean
18:12:23parafinthat's not bootloader problem but rockbox firmware
18:12:29pixelmafrom what I have seen (5.5G 80GB) Rockbox boots noticably faster than the apple OS if it needs a full reboot (not starting from suspend)
18:12:33crashdrockbox takes like, a second to boot though
18:13:08parafinmay be it's directory scan that takes time, dunno
18:13:27parafinor maybe i should update rockbox
18:13:32pixelmaboot time also depends on your WPS - if it has to seek for a lot bitmaps, especially if they are scattered across the disk due to fragmentation
18:13:34crashddo you have all your album directories in the root?

18:14:14rotzbouwrockbox booting is very fast. rockbox mounting is very slow (due to usb1.1 limitation, as i know now!)

19:10:30amiconnThat said, iPod EDM *is* slow, but not due to transfer rate (which is quite low, but e.g. updating Rockbox on my Archos Player is significantly faster than on 5.5th Gen, even though the Player actually *is* USB1.1 only)

19:29:43amiconnYeah, and that change breaks everything
19:30:10amiconnJust moving that block won't fix the actual problem, but instead extend it from hampering drag&drop mode to hampering all modes
19:31:11amiconnThis is because voiceUtils.vbs uses ExecuteGlobal to read the parameters
19:31:28amiconnThis cannot work for non-bool parameters, like the Encoder selection
19:32:11*amiconn sighs
19:32:11preglowright
19:32:20preglowi guess we should just revert back, then
19:32:35amiconnIt needs to read the .ini using the same function as the .hta
19:32:45*preglow doesn't get the extensions...
19:33:24amiconnAnd since voiceUtils.vbs is meant to be a resource for both the .wsf and the .hta, it should probably be moved there somehow

19:39:30n1snanok: searching for just usb among patches yields only 17 results, one of them the one you were looking for
19:39:52amiconnSince 'speex' is neither a reserved word nor quotes, it is treated as a variable name
19:40:07nanokaham, got it

23:50:41DerPapstXavierGr: If you are limited to say 2 colors and you want to make a gradient you use "dithering". colors that aren't availabe are simulated by using different pixel patterns of the 2 colors.
23:51:01DerPapstXavierGr: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/de/a/af/Dither2-2.png
23:51:27lostlogicjhMikeS: yeah, so the guardbuf is OK −− what about the buffer low case when a request asks for more than the available data? this could cause a queue bounce before such a request could be satisfied, whcih was avoided before by filechunk being equal to max request guarantee
23:52:00XavierGrDerPapast would it be similar to describe it as "noisification" (to insert noise on quantized values)?
23:54:01DerPapstyeah.. i guess so.
23:55:13jhMikeSlostlogic: no idea really. why should it in any way depend on chunksizes to be a particular value?
23:58:02jhMikeSBottom line is the threading has to balance properly anyway. Suppose I'm gonna do flat indexes so I'll have to scrutinize all those things anyway.
