00:04:20saratogaare we trying to keep libfadd synced with the official source?
00:04:27saratogabecause the code right now is just bizzare
00:04:34 Part peppo ("part")
00:05:05saratogalike the way it checks for non power of 2 block sizes in the FFT even though we only have tables for 128 and 1024 sample blocks
00:05:44saratogaoh never mind that #define out of the compiled code
00:06:09linuxstbI think preglow was working on syncing it.
00:07:36 Quit Thundercloud_ (Read error: 110 (Connection timed out))
00:07:45saratogado they make text editors that can be configured to shade out code inside certain #define blocks?
00:09:05krazykityou could probably modify the hilighting scripts of your favorite editor to do that

00:13:43amiconnYay, now I have an optimised *and* working version of my SH1 grey phase blit :)
00:14:53linuxstbHow much IRAM is left?
00:15:20amiconn80 bytes on recorders
00:15:33amiconn(with reducing MAXTHREADS to 10)
00:15:49linuxstbHow much does a thread take?
00:18:03amiconn80 bytes of IRAM taken per thread
00:18:17amiconnRight now it's a perfect fit when not reducing MAXTTHREADS
00:18:44amiconnBut compiler differences could make it fail *very* easily

00:20:32amiconnMy new function needs 204 bytes of IRAM. I also saved 4 bytes in another function, leaving a net iram usage increase of 120 bytes (with reduced MAXTHREADS)
00:20:53amiconnI tend to think that the thread management structures don't need to be in iram on SH1
00:21:11amiconnIf we take them out, that would save 900 (or 820) bytes of iram

00:29:50picard_pwns_kirkwhat are some feasible button mappings for the RockBoy plugin?
00:29:55picard_pwns_kirk(on the ipod nano)
00:31:26saratogais libfaad short on IRAM?
00:32:02picard_pwns_kirkumm...
00:32:04saratogalooking at the code i see it allocates a 4KB buffer in IRAM that could easily be shared with another buffer
00:32:12 Part picard_pwns_kirk ("In Soviet Russia, channel leave YOU!!")
00:34:25amiconnlinuxstb: I found another place where we can save some iram
00:35:02amiconnlcd_update() and lcd_update_rect() are in iram right now. Taking them out there lowers performance by only ~0.6%
00:35:20amiconn...but it saves 288 bytes of iram
00:36:03amiconnThe crucial point for performance is that lcd_write_data() is in iram (and it still is, of course)

00:38:00linuxstbsaratoga: I've no idea, but it's always good to reduce IRAM usage if you can - so feel free to commit a fix ;)
00:38:56*amiconn thinks that those performance test plugins were a really good idea
00:40:13linuxstbamiconn: I've another LCD question - is it possible on greyscale targets to implement an lcd_clear_viewport() function with lcd_fillrect? I confess to not fully understanding the drawmodes...
00:41:11amiconnI don't remember the full details right now, but I think it would be possible
00:41:26amiconnThe drawmode would need to be changed temporarily
00:41:53linuxstbWould BG+INVERSEVID be correct?
00:42:13amiconnIt depends on what drawmode is currently active

00:44:48linuxstbAh yes...
00:45:07amiconnIf the current mode does *not*
00:45:22amiconninclude INVERSEVID, you'd need BG+INVERSEVID
00:45:40amiconnAnd if the current mode includes INVERSEVID, you'd need (plain) FG
00:45:49csc`does the flash memory in their respected ipod models have a specific amount of read cycles?

00:47:18linuxstbamiconn: Thanks - that makes sense.
00:48:22 Quit obo ("bye")
00:49:27amiconnOf course you could simplify it by setting: temp_drawmode = (~drawmode & DRMODE_INVERSEVID) | DRMODE_SOLID;
00:50:19amiconnThat inverts the INVERSEVID bit and sets the basic mode to SOLID

01:10:43billeniumdoes rockbox have a text viewer thing?
01:10:50LloreanYes.
01:10:55LloreanI do believe it's mentioned in the manual
01:11:03billeniumah
01:11:12billeniumi see
01:13:18markunbillenium: there are some things I would like to improve in the viewer, but it works quite nice already
01:13:44stripwaxsoap - for the logs - my original firmware lasted somewhere between 21 and 23 hours (missed the actual shutoff). So we can rule out my battery dying. Will determine if remaining main difference between your runtime and mine is vorbis vs mp3 or peakmeters-vs-main menu
01:13:47billeniumanything like the one Apples firmware has?
01:14:11stripwaxwhat does the Apple one do?
01:14:34billeniumits text reader is straight forward

07:03:37khermansi finally got that Rockbox article up on LinuxJournal.com
07:03:38khermanshttp://www.linuxjournal.com/node/1005957
07:03:49***Saving seen data "./dancer.seen"
07:03:52khermansit is aimed at n00bs...
07:05:15krazykiti noticed an error. rockbox won't destroy your device forever.
07:06:42krazykitand the fact that the script installs an unofficial build...
07:06:50JdGordonoy good... another guide which doesnt tell the user to use the official installer...
07:07:28krazykitnot only that, you're only supporting the ipod video, which isn't explicitly stated
07:08:07krazykityou're also using the ipodlinux bootloader? geez, anyone using this won't be able to get any official help at all.
07:11:41 Quit JdGordon ("Konversation terminated!")
07:11:57khermansi tell them about the official installer
07:12:21khermanskrazykit, some people want one click install on iPod
07:12:30krazykitand rbutil will do that.
07:12:39khermanskrazykit, your automated installer failed for me
07:12:57khermanskrazykit, i had to rebiuild from svn to get it working
07:13:20khermanskrazykit, i link to the automated installer and warn them up front
07:13:52khermansi donated $20 to you guys earlier, loved the project, but you have to keep in mind that some people are not too bright
07:14:05khermansthe warning is for "broken" in terms of "i have no data"
07:14:16khermansi don't want people to lose their data
07:14:49krazykityou don't, however, warn the user that by using your script they can't get support from Rockbox, nor do you tell them what build they need to use to update
07:14:51LloreanYes, but you really shouldn't call what you're doing "Installing Rockbox" if it's both an unofficial build and bootloader
07:15:01LloreanThat's like handing someone an Ubuntu CD and saying "Here's your Debian install disc"
07:15:35khermansLlorean, i warn them though and say "try the automated installer"
07:16:16khermansLlorean, i would relate it more to handing someone a customized distro
07:16:28Lloreankhermans: Yes, but you lie about WHY you do it.
07:16:37khermansLlorean, where do i lie, i can fix it?
07:16:38LloreanUnofficial builds are no easier to install than official build
07:16:51LloreanYou could just as easily have installed an official one with your script.
07:16:52khermansLlorean, i told you already, your rbutil is broken
07:16:59krazykitkhermans, your little script could easily have used the official rockbox.zip and used ipodpatcher
07:16:59LloreanYes, but our ipodpatcher isn't
07:17:10LloreanThe ipodpatcher tool is actually Rockbox's tool
07:17:17LloreaniPL just bundles it with their bootloader instead of ours
07:17:18 Quit miepchen^schlaf ("Verlassend")
07:17:25khermanseither way, just wanted to get some press out
07:17:34LloreanYes, but you've done so in a way that's very misleading
07:17:35khermansi like the project
07:17:49LloreanYou don't say "This install method means that the Rockbox support team will not help you" as far as I can see
07:18:13LloreanAnd you've claimed that the reason for doing it your way is to make the install easier, when in fact the steps would be *exactly* the same for an official build using the manual install method in the manual
07:18:26khermansbut i didn't know this ahead of time
07:18:33LloreanThen you went on to suggest it could destroy their iPod forever
07:18:40khermansonce your automated installer broke, i came here, and no one was around
07:18:51LloreanWhen in fact Rockbox installation is unable to destroy an iPod, or even corrupt the disk, if performed according to the manual
07:18:59LloreanAnd is in fact less likely to damage your iPod than an Apple firmware update
07:19:01khermansLlorean, people do dumb things
07:19:16LloreanYes, but you make it sound like Rockbox could do it.
07:19:17khermanslike dd if=/dev/foo of=/dev/sdb2
07:19:18LloreanRockbox can't
07:19:28LloreanUsing dd could ruin an iPod yes
07:19:31LloreanBut that has nothing to do with Rockbox
07:19:31khermansLlorean, ok i give you the power and you rewrite it
07:19:41LloreanAnd even that can't destroy an iPod forever.
07:19:50LloreanAll it can do is require rebuilding the disk contents.
07:19:55khermansLlorean, pm me for info and ill let you rewrite it
07:20:19LloreanI've told you what's wrong with it.
07:20:26LloreanChange the information to be factual.
07:20:43LloreanI'm curious where you got the idea that it could destroy an iPod forever, in fact.
07:21:12khermansLlorean, jeez this scenario is just like end user comes to #rockbox and says "yeah i like rockbox, but you guys dont support WMV playing, this sucks
07:21:37 Join countrymonkeyweb [0] (n=4b05639a@gateway/web/cgi-irc/labb.contactor.se/x-97dc36abb31e1af3)
07:21:44khermansLlorean, dd'ing over the data would likely result in user having to go to Appple
07:21:46LloreanNo, it's like an end user going around saying Rockbox does support WMV, and then we have to pick up the pieces when people start posting in our forums asking how to do it.
07:21:51Lloreankhermans: Nope
07:22:03khermansLlorean, we are not talking about smart guys dude
07:22:08Lloreankhermans: We have a page in our wiki describing how to restore an iPod should you completely erase the partition table
07:22:14khermansLlorean, no one is going to read it
07:22:23khermansLlorean, i read it
07:22:27countrymonkeywebI had an idea. Why don't we get rbutil's translation function to use rockbox langv1? It would make it simpler for translators.
07:22:45Lloreankhermans: So what does "no one's going to read it" have to do with anything?
07:22:50khermanscountrymonkeyweb, you guys should rls a new build of rbutil that works
07:22:56LloreanIf someone's stupid enough to dd something to their iPod, what does it have to do with Rockbox anyway?
07:23:10khermansLlorean, that people who are not inquisitive will no read it
07:23:18Lloreanipodpatcher works fine
07:23:22LloreanAnd ipodpatcher is in the bloody manual
07:23:24countrymonkeywebI am not a rbutil dev. You should talk to bluebrother. I just have an idea.
07:23:33khermanscountrymonkeyweb, i rebuilt rbutil to work correclty
07:23:40khermansso the code is fine, just the rls is bad
07:23:56Lloreankhermans: Use real words in here
07:23:58countrymonkeywebI know 0 about this stuff.
07:24:03khermansLlorean, real wordS?
07:24:07LloreanMany of our users are blind or speak other languages, and "rls" is not going to work for them
07:24:14khermansrelease
07:24:26LloreanSeriously, the channel topic isn't kidding
07:24:42scorche(except aboutt he last part)
07:24:42countrymonkeywebIs rbutil offtopic?
07:24:49Lloreancountrymonkeyweb: No.
07:25:06countrymonkeywebAlright, could this idea be considered?
07:25:32Lloreancountrymonkeyweb: langv1 is the old language system. The one that isn't in use any more. I'm not sure what you think rbutil should be doing with it.
07:26:14countrymonkeywebI think rbutil should use langv1 instead of the .ts xml-like files that it uses now.
07:26:48LloreanOh, for the translation of rbutil itself?
07:26:54LloreanI do believe that's the standard Qt translation stuff
07:26:58countrymonkeywebYes! :)
07:27:24countrymonkeywebI would think langv1 would be easier for translators.
07:27:58krazykitcountrymonkeyweb, that's a restriction of Qt, not something that you can really get around easily
07:28:15Lloreancountrymonkeyweb: I don't think so.
07:28:24countrymonkeywebOk. Just thought I would throw that idea out.
07:28:24Lloreancountrymonkeyweb: There's already tools for working with Qt translations
07:28:31LloreanI don't see why we should reinvent the wheel
07:28:50Lloreanhttp://doc.trolltech.com/3.1/linguist-manual-3.html
07:29:13countrymonkeywebI feel that langv1 is easier for translators.

07:32:25khermansLlorean, i updated the article
07:32:27khermanshttp://www.linuxjournal.com/node/1005957
07:32:34krazykitkorn788, well, the only way to get an answer is to ask, of course
07:33:08korn788sorry i have an RCA and philps mp3 player and i was going to ask are they supported
07:33:34countrymonkeywebI'll get around to writing the patch when I am not so busy.
07:33:46khermansi hope that rockbox team is not upset with installer script i threw together to make "no brains" installation easier
07:33:49krazykitkorn788, the only supported players are listed on rockbox.org
07:34:01khermanslike i said, i would have geared the article toward rbutil had it worked correctly
07:34:19Lloreankhermans: I don't see what you changed
07:34:25khermansrefresh?
07:34:28LloreanI did refresh
07:34:34khermanssecond paragraph
07:34:38LloreanIt still says the iPod could be destroyed forever
07:34:42khermansno
07:34:51krazykityou changed the link to "automated but buggy" to rbutil?

07:35:29khermansLlorean, maybe LJ does not immediately publish changes
07:35:41korn788ok thanks for the help i saw this internet show called HAK5 and they talk about rockbox and well i thoght i should try it out
07:35:46Lloreankrazykit's comment is quite accurate.
07:35:55khermanskrazykit, it was always like that
07:36:00LloreanReally, the manual installation should work for everyone.
07:36:10LloreanRButil is only buggy in that it may not autodetect an iPod.
07:36:19khermansLlorean, that is not true
07:36:26khermansit detected my ipod, although not 80
07:36:28Lloreankhermans: The themes site problem was the site being *down*
07:36:34LloreanIt's impossible to distinguish an 80
07:36:47LloreanBecause it's not the disk size we need to distinguish
07:36:49khermansLlorean, yes themese site being down was the issue
07:36:54countrymonkeywebIf you want to try it, may I suggest the simulator. Go to rasher.dk/rockbox and click on win32 simulators.
07:37:01Lloreankhermans: That's not an RBUtil issue in any way though
07:37:09Lloreankhermans: Your method won't distinguish an 80 properly either
07:37:23khermansLlorean, actually, i got an error even partially hrough installation at the end
07:37:34khermansLlorean, check back here in irc logs, i wrote about it
07:37:35LloreanWell, why didn't you file a bug report on it?
07:37:41khermansLlorean, it is not a bug in svn
07:37:49khermansi verified this
07:37:54khermansso i did no tfiel one
07:37:58LloreanWell, what was the bug?
07:38:07khermansLlorean, let me check my google search history :-)
07:38:23LloreanI mean, so far you've told me "The themes site was down" (not RBUtil) and "It detected my iPod" (which is as good as your script can do)
07:38:45LloreanAnd there's no good reason for your script to use unofficial builds. You still haven't justified that.
07:39:26khermansextra addons, freedoom, custom themes?
07:39:44Lloreanfreedoom works with the official build
07:39:49LloreanSame with many custom themes
07:39:54khermansLlorean, and is installed by default?
07:40:01LloreanNo
07:40:06LloreanThe plugin's there by default
07:40:10LloreanThe .wad files never change
07:40:11khermansincludes the Ubuntu theme i am using?
07:40:18LloreanSo we have them as a separate download for bandwidth reasons
07:40:29LloreanWhat does your theme being included have to do with it being a custom build?
07:40:35LloreanYou could include your theme with a svn build.
07:40:42LloreanAs long as it doesn't require a modified binary for use.
07:41:10LloreanAnd none of that justifies using the iPL bootloader still.
07:41:50LloreanI mean, it just seems like you've gone out of your way to deny them official support
07:43:24khermansLlorean, you keep harping on support
07:43:30khermansLlorean, i went out of my way to make it painless
07:43:39khermansat least initally :-)
07:43:55krazykitand later, it's very painful when they want support.
07:43:59LloreanYes, but "painless" can still be achieved with the official build
07:44:04LloreanSo you can't justify it with painless.
07:44:15Lloreanipodpatcher and unzip are the only two tools needed to install an official build
07:44:49LloreanYour script could just as easily install an official build, with freedoom, as many themes as you wanted as long as they don't require patches, and not deny them the ability to come and ask questions.
07:45:15 Quit countrymonkeyweb ("CGI:IRC (EOF)")
07:45:47Lloreankhermans: Even with your updates, the article still says "This is for ease of installation" which is a lie
07:46:02khermansLlorean, why do you call me a liar?
07:46:06LloreanBecause it is.
07:46:07khermansit is for ease of installation
07:46:09LloreanNo.
07:46:13khermansLlorean, how not so?
07:46:19LloreanOfficial Rockbox can be installed as easily as ANY custom build
07:46:23krazykitkhermans, what happens when the ipod isn't on /dev/sda or /media/IPOD?
07:46:23khermansyou run one script, and it "just works"
07:46:31khermansthats true
07:46:41LloreanSo "ease of installation" is not why you chose a custom build.
07:46:49LloreanBecause you could've installed the official one just as easily
07:46:59khermanswell i could fix the script sure
07:47:08khermansor tell them how to do manual installation
07:47:28LloreanOr you could change the language so that it doesn't suggest that the official build is harder to install than unofficial ones, just because you didn't read all the documentation and didn't know so yourself.
07:47:46LloreanThere are several ways you could fix it.

07:50:26LloreanIn the next day or two, I'm probably going to be closing 1/3 to 1/2 of the patches used in his unofficial builds.
07:50:54LloreanThere's also a very good chance that within a week, almost every single one of those WPSes that requires patches, assuming any of them do, will be incompatible with even the unsupported builds.
07:51:22khermansLlorean, ok i cant find the error in google search, but i posted it here in last few days
07:51:25LloreanReally, in all, that whole script is going to be useful for less than a month.
07:51:28khermanssomeone was helping me through it
07:51:32khermansand suggested i rebuild form svn
07:51:34khermanswhich then worked
07:51:36Lloreankhermans: What does the error have to do with installing the official build?
07:51:49Lloreankhermans: The MANUAL INSTALL doesn't use Rbutil.
07:52:13khermansLlorean, yes yea −− what is the number of required inputs for manual install?
07:52:13Llorean"ipodpatcher&&i&&unzip rockbox.zip -d /media/IPOD" could install Rockbox.
07:52:16*khermans goes to check
07:52:28Lloreankhermans: I just told you.
07:53:24khermansLlorean, if rbutil sucks, why not label it beta
07:53:25LloreanAs I've said a half dozen times by now, installing unofficial builds is NOT easier. It's the exact same process as the manual install.
07:53:33Lloreankhermans: BECAUSE ROCKBOX IS UNRELEASED
07:53:33khermanswould have saved me some effort
07:53:39LloreanIf you read the manual, it says DRAFT in the PDF
07:53:42LloreanEVERYTHING is Beta
07:54:06LloreanThat's why we tell people to use the manual install if the automated one doesn't work...
07:54:11khermansyou also have wiki entries on your site which say to install via anothe method
07:54:15LloreanYes
07:54:17LloreanIt's a wiki

07:54:21LloreanStupid people write stupid things
07:54:26khermansLlorean, my point exactly

08:08:47khermansi see the next section, yes
08:08:51khermansi saw it then
08:09:00LloreanSo, you prefer to instead force them to download a build of Rockbox that will likely become unavailable, install themes that won't work in a couple weeks, and otherwise screw them over?
08:09:52khermansLlorean, if i had known that was true, i obviousl wouldn't do it to spite a reader base of oucrse
08:10:17khermansLlorean, i also didn't think a little publicity would hurt rockbox

08:11:04khermansanyways, thx for all your help over the last week
08:11:07LloreanLying to potential users about the difficulty of the official installation, not giving them fair warning that they won't receive support, and creating an installation process that depends on a third party continuing to host files and otherwise complicating matters though, is bad.
08:11:22khermansLlorean, i gave them the warning?
08:11:25khermansyou see it

08:13:07khermansi cant believe you blow this way out of proportion
08:13:14LloreanIt still says you use an unofficial build for ease of installation
08:13:36LloreanThere still aren't warnings that it is very out of date, and will likely be incompatible with future themes starting in the next few weeks.
08:13:59LloreanAnd it still doesn't warn that even if you unzip an official build onto the player, you're still using an unsupported bootloader.
08:14:08LloreanSo you HAVE to redo the full installation to get official support one way or another
08:14:09krazykitkhermans, i don't think it's being blown out of proportion at all. you're potentially causing a large amount of grief for users by suggesting your unofficial script.

08:18:43LloreanIf his bandwidth runs out, he will take it down. If he gets bored, he will take it down. If we make changes that break the patches he uses beyond his ability to resync, he will take it down
08:19:17khermansLlorean, when will rockbox be at release quality?
08:19:35LloreanWhat does that have to do with anything I've said?

08:29:41khermanssometimes i dumb things down for people, because so many people just dont get it
08:31:05Lloreankhermans: Well, for the later iPods, the *most* likely solution is going to require investigating what the original Apple firmware does when interfacing with various hardware, powering it down, etc, that we don't do. This is probably going to require knowledge of both ARM assembly and anything we've already learned about the hardware, which is mostly what the iPL project has documented here and there
08:31:11conandowhat article are you talking/argueing about?
08:31:12khermansLlorean, do you have any tools like gprof that can pinpoint deficiencies?
08:31:40LloreanIt's not a code efficiency issue, so profiling wouldn't do much good (I assume that's what gprof is, from the name)
08:31:54conandoyes it is ;)

08:34:07Lloreankhermans: Unfortunately that won't help too much.
08:34:55LloreanWe've got 80gb iPods in the hands of several developers as it is. And unfortunately I'm not too knowledgeable about all the issues concerned, but I think it's most likely to require some investigation of what Apple actually does.
08:35:07LloreanSince we have no hardware documentation.

08:40:52LloreanWell I think your article could be okay with just one more warning, honestly
08:41:58LloreanJust add in a "While using this build might be a good way to try it out, it's may be gone soon, and will most likely be quite outdated. If you decide you like it and want to try the official version, or if you need to ask for help, reinstall with the official instructions in the manual.

09:41:39peturwoodensoul: put it in the tracker please (if it isn't there already)
09:41:45amiconnDMA engines are usually independent of cpu caches, so that if the cpu has a data cache, you need to flush the cache if the data going to be transferred was changed by the cpu, and the other way round, if data read by dma is going to be processed by the cpu, invalidate the cache after the dma transfer

09:42:55woodensoulpetur: I didn't know if that was necessary because the bug existed before and was quickly fixed.
09:43:22eigmain this case, I'm DMA'ing out of SDRAM; I see SDRAM marked as cached in system-dm320.c, but only the framebuffer appears write-buffered - does this mean I don't need to flush the cache out to SDRAM? (I'm transferring from an area outside of framebuffer)

09:46:30amiconnWell, I don't know the details of the TI cpus. Usually write buffering means something different than caching, although it's somewhat related
09:48:26amiconnIf you have some transfer buffer that would require to flush the cache rather often due to dma usage, it might be better to mark that buffer as uncachable (if that's possible)

10:02:42BagderLlorean: indeed
10:03:26LloreanAnyway, I think 16MB is a reasonable "minimum", for a software codec target. Less than that and the lossless formats are gonna be spinning like crazy, I think. Same with video.
10:03:39amiconnThe iFP7xx only has 1MB ram
10:04:02BagderLlorean: unless it's flash based, for which I guess 8MB will suffice
10:04:03LloreanSorry "software codec with a disk"
10:04:46Casainhoso, please, for flash players, 8MB?
10:04:51Casainhoand for HHD?
10:05:05Casainhofor lossless formats!! :-)
10:05:19LloreanYou could probably go less than 8MB for Flash, but then you might butt heads with the database and other things
10:05:27amiconnFlash targets only need little ram, unless they should also support stuff which needs to buffer larger amounts of data at once (like viewing images). I'd say 4MB for flash, 32MB for hdd based
10:05:36Llorean4MB for flash sounds good to me too
10:05:44LloreanThe 2MB was before I thought about some of the extra crud I don't use. :)
10:05:49CasainhoWhat do you think about have a company interested on make free/open hardware to run RB? - I remember to read something about that with Neuros....
10:06:17GodEaterexcept Neuros want to use some hardware that's not that open
10:06:25GodEaterwe've argued with them about it before
10:06:33GodEaterwell - Bagder has anyway :)
10:07:21Casainhookok - I will register this 2 diferent values of RAM on TWiki :-)
10:07:50Lloreanamiconn: Don't the iAudios get by quite fine with 16?

10:40:09Casainhobecause there are MCUs with 512kb of flash, would be cheap and simpler not put a flash IC on the hardware, just a connector for a memory card

11:26:23Bagderyes sure
11:26:30Bagderalthough slightly inconvenient perhaps
11:26:38Bagdersince you can't swap memory cards easily
11:28:38Casainhois important to swap cards? - I am thinking in a MCU with USB...
11:29:15Bagderwell, I've heard about people swapping cards with different contents
11:29:28Bagderif its important or not, I figure is up to each user
11:29:31Casainhomusic files, you mean?
11:29:34Bagderyes
11:30:03Bagderyou sit on the bus with 22 memory cards in your pocket, and then usb isn't a very big help...
11:31:02Casainhowhat do you pretend to say? flash memory is not ok? you prefer HDD memory because of the capacity?
11:31:14BagderI don't pretend at all
11:31:35BagderI'm just noting side-effects of what you asked about
11:32:16Casainhoso, what the alternative of that 22 memory cards?
11:33:09BagderI don't think I follow. I was merely trying to give you a scenario in which multiple cards work better than usb
11:33:47linuxstbCasainho: Not having Rockbox installed on the device itself means every memory card you use has to be updated with the latest Rockbox version whenever you upgrade - not fun...
11:34:11Casainhoah, okok :-) I understand now :-) :-)
11:34:26Casainhothat's something I didn't think about :-)
11:34:31eigmaWOW. "dsp_message.msg = 0xbeef;" and "*&dsp_message.msg = 0xbeef;" do two different things :\
11:34:33linuxstbPlus the settings are stored as a file on disk - so you would get different settings depending on which card you used...
11:36:03Casainhoso the good should be a 4MB IC flash for RB code and a memory card for music?

13:25:45amiconnAfaik cygwin uses 64 bit file i/o by default

16:39:48YippMNwhen i want to copy music files and folders over , do i just drop them onto the .rockbox folder, and also videos too?
16:40:13YippMNi don't see anything about this in the manual
16:41:04krazykityou could, but i don't recommend putting them there.
16:41:20krazykitput them anywhere else you like
16:41:38YippMNok where do they go then, or is there a doc that tells what to do with music and video?
16:41:59krazykitthey go anywhere. i like to put music into a directory called "music"
16:42:28YippMNwell if i put a video in say the video folder i see , won't that be the video folder for the sansa os?
16:43:49YippMNi'm looking at the folders on my e260 through a file browser in linux, so i see all the folders that sansa uses , such as Music and Video , and others , and the .rockbox foldeer
16:43:51krazykiti don't think the original firmware will see files it doesn't support, so it doesn't really matter. that being said, the Sansa's stupid OF sets the Hidden attribute on several folders including Music, so you'd have to change rockbox's "display" options to "all", or just use the database
16:44:56GodEateryeah, I think most sansa users create a "My Music" directory, so that the sansa doesn't hide it for them
16:45:32GodEaterbut as krazykit says - you can put the stuff anywhere you like - Rockbox will find it.
16:45:44GodEateralthough we generally say "don't put it in the .rockbox" directory
16:45:58GodEatersince that will just make a mess
16:46:07YippMNi see , so i would have to creat the folder while in rockbox , or can i do it from the file browser on my machine

16:47:02GodEateryour filebrowser is fine
16:47:04YippMNso your saying that if i just drop the files to the e260 , rockbox will put the files into the database on reboot?
16:47:19GodEaterno - it will put them in the database when you ask it to
16:47:32GodEater(i.e. you choose to "Intialise Database"
16:47:50GodEaterRockbox will then go and search the entire drive for all supported music files
16:47:58GodEaterand record them in its database
16:48:48YippMNahh i see , and what about the folders rockbox has for poto and video and such , i suppose it will put any jpg or mpg file there such as it does with music files when updating the database
16:49:10GodEaterthe database is for audio files only
16:49:23GodEaterany other files will require you to use Rockbox's filebrowser to navigate to them
16:49:54YippMNbut if i drop a video file into it , or a photo how will rockbox find them or work with them ,
16:50:19GodEateras I just said, you find them using Rockbox's file browser
16:51:03YippMNahh ok just want to make sure i'm clear onwhat it does , so far rockbox is pretty darn nice and i accually won solitare after about 4 trys this morning woopieee! :)
16:51:35YippMNtnx for the help
16:54:03YippMNone more thing , about backdrops , would i just drop them in and then find them in rockbox again with the filebroswer or make a folder for them also ?

17:34:39pondlifeSOT: I've just "upgraded" to WinXP/IE7 and now Flyspray is displaying in a messy font. It's not ClearType - that's been thoroughly disabled - but looks like it's badly resized. All other Rockbox sites (and other sites) are ok. Is our Flyspray site expecting a particular font that I may need to install?
17:35:27LambdaCalculus37pondlife: Using WinXP/IE7 at work... try switching to Unicode (UFT-8).
17:35:36krazykitpondlife, obviously the solution is to not use a broken browser ;)
17:35:55pondlifekrazykit: Well, of course - sadly this is a work PC
17:36:13krazykitdon't you people do *work* at work?
17:36:14LambdaCalculus37krazykit: Tell that to the clueless oafs in some IT departments. :)
17:36:19pondlifeLambdaCalculus37: Already on UTF-8.
17:36:30pondlifekrazykit: Much of the time, yes :)
17:36:30LearAnd you can't install something else, like Opera or Firefox?
17:36:44pondlifeI could, but it would be naughty.
17:36:48pondlifeRather not
17:37:15pondlifeThis is a clean install of XP, I suspect a font is missing and substitution is occurring.

17:42:05pondlifeI could do that, or just ignore it.
17:42:22pondlifeI'm an admin on this PC, but they don't like other software being brought in
17:42:28conandopondlife: could it be by any chance that a truetype font named "helvetica" is installed on your PC?
17:42:51pondlifeIt is.
17:43:09conandothen your browser is using that for display instead of verdana...
17:43:48conandoon many websites (the same with the rockbox flyspray page) the browser is instructed to use either helvetica, verdana or sans-serif.. in that order
17:44:41conandoand most of the time on windows you don't have a font installed by the name of helvetica so the browser reverts to verdana.. but when it's installed it's used and suddenly many sites look "strange" ;)
17:45:06YippMNmy sansa e260 just locked up and its showing divide by zero at 00020cab on the screen , help :)
17:45:17idnarI happen to vastly prefer the real Helvetica over Verdana, but often you have some other crummy font masquerading as Helvetica
17:45:20krazykitYippMN, hold the power button for 15 or so seconds
17:45:22YippMNcan't shut it off or do anything
17:45:41conandoidnar exactly ;)
17:46:03YippMNkrazykit, ahh ok didn't hold it quite long enough tnx
17:46:36conandoidnar although somehow even the "good" helvetica versions on windows look strange when used in a browser (at least without any form of cleartype that is) ... :/
17:47:34idnarconando: that's probably because of the resolution handling mess on windows
17:50:43conandowho knows.. however it's a little pain in the *ss if you have to use helvetica for other things (work) and many websites look like sh*t because of it... ;)

17:57:03LambdaCalculus37Info's kind of thin in places.
17:57:51krazykityou're going to have a major problem on the karma; it isn't formatted fat32 and there's no MSC mode
17:58:30Jetonmarkun: any chance about adding bookmarking (more than one that is) to the text-viewer?
17:58:33LambdaCalculus37krazykit: You owned one?
17:58:34krazykitsince it's portalplayer, we don't have USB for it, another stumbling point
17:58:59LambdaCalculus37krazykit: We didn't have USB for the iPods and H10 when we started, but yes, no MSC will pose a problem.
17:59:02krazykitLambdaCalculus37, i owned 2 and am admin of the only active rio forum left
17:59:21LambdaCalculus37krazykit: Link?
17:59:44LambdaCalculus37I'm going to join up to see if anyone's interested.

18:00:04krazykithardly anyone with a karma anymore is, to be honest
18:00:28krazykitreally, a port is not feasible UNTIL we get working USB for portalplayer.
18:00:56LambdaCalculus37krazykit: I can at least research the hardware and look for datasheets in the meantime.
18:02:17krazykitin order, i'd google for the empeg bbs, forums-riovolution.com, then riovolution.org
18:02:17LambdaCalculus37I have a little bit of hardware info up here: http://www.rockbox.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/RioKarmaPort

23:24:12Lloreanconando: There are a wide range of amounts of RAM, but the way things are currently engineered either Playback gets the whole "buffer" or Plugins do.
23:24:13JdGordon|w\rover.raw
23:24:20amiconn/
23:24:21Lloreanconando: Otherwise Plugins only get a 512kB slice of it.
23:24:27conandoamiconn: i read about the colour requirement...
23:24:28JdGordon|wbah yeah... /
23:24:46Lloreanconando: As it stands, you could probably fit 10-15 album covers in that slice, and just spin the disk like crazy while Pictureflow is being used, I'd imagine.
23:24:59conandoLlorean: oh ok, that explains it all then.. i didn't know about this either-all-or-none policy...
23:25:05eigmachrist
23:25:11eigmaI keep getting stack overflows in the ata functions
23:25:30JdGordon|wdo the reads in mutliple smaller reads?
23:25:40conandoLlorean: i'm mainly using a flash based target so i didn't give the hd-spin much of a thought lately ;) but of course that's right
23:25:41JdGordon|walthough.. that may not be the problem
23:25:45Lloreanconando: Playback will *always* want as much of the buffer as possible. Once it's full, Plugins can't reclaim just part of it, because they don't know which part the playback engine still needs to use, and which part's "at the end" and won't interrupt playing, and such.
23:26:05eigmayeah.. 1 KByte read causes stkov
23:27:20saratoga211amiconn: did you see Buschel's questions about the PLL on the PP?
23:28:48amiconneigma: Then there must be something wrong on your target
23:28:57conandoLlorean: that's true ... but if it would be integrated into the core this would have to be changed somehow as well... at least it had to made configurable.. if picture flow should be used there would have to be reserved some more space for it
23:29:27 Quit webguest14 ("CGI:IRC (EOF)")
23:29:41amiconnread() isn't limited in the size it can handle. My ata test plugin reads up to (nearly) full buffer size, i.e. up to ~62MB on ipod video
23:29:47Lloreanconando: Why?
23:29:48conandoLlorean: or perhaps you could even configure how much memory.. and depending on that picture flow could load as many covers as fit into mem
23:30:03eigmaamiconn: yeah, I hacked this thing up pretty good.. cut out various init calls to speed up my development cycle, etc.. I'll have to track down the problem.
23:30:30JdGordon|weigma: yeah, somethis is definatly wrong.. the mr500 has no problems running themes, so unless youve broken something....
23:30:32Lloreanconando: Picture flow could use the whole buffer if playback is stopped, or provide slower performance if music is playing. You can't zoom through the list, because it has to load them as you go but it'd still probably move at a decent speed.
23:30:34conandoLlorean: hm else it could still only be used while no song is playing...
23:31:06conandoLlorean: that was exactly what i meant ;)
23:31:13LloreanThat requires no "configuration" though.
23:31:15LloreanNo options.
23:31:37LloreanIt wouldn't require more reserved space either.
23:31:51eigmafor open to work, I need ata_init, disk_init and disk_mount_all.. anything else?
23:31:54conandoi thought at least an option to let the user decide the tradeof between performance/scroll speed when music is playing
23:32:10saratoga211that'd be hard to write i think
23:32:24saratoga211i don't think we can resize the playback buffer on the fly
23:32:29Lloreanconando: For that to work, it'd need to *always* reserve that memory, which would then mean that they would see bad battery life even if it's been hours since they used pictureflow.
23:32:59JdGordon|wsandsmark: in theory we shuold be able to chop the end off the buffer.. but its not implemented iirc
23:33:13eigmasweet, it's working
23:33:18JdGordon|w:)
23:33:18eigmathe reading, I mean :P
23:33:24JdGordon|wwhat was the problem?
23:33:31eigmawrong order
23:33:41eigmadsp_init was reading but I accidentally had that above ata_init et al.
23:33:41Lloreansaratoga211: If I recall, they were talking about the idea of "buffering" an item of a certain size, that's not a song but rather the space for Pictureflow's buffer, using the buffering APi. So it sorta resizes the buffer, in the same sense that "putting a codec on the buffer" decreases the space available for songs.
23:33:46conandoLlorean: ok got it.. because of the missing possibility to dynamically reserve/reclaim memory...
23:33:57JdGordon|weigma: better than forgetting an init completly :p
23:34:03 Quit miepchen^schlaf (Read error: 104 (Connection reset by peer))
23:34:07saratoga211Llorean: haha so basically use MOB as a malloc buffer?
23:34:22Lloreanconando: Even if you wanted to dynamically reserve/reclaim memory, you'd have to ALWAYS reserve it, or be able to get the full playback system status, and have playback unbuffer audio so that pictureflow could then use it.
23:34:26Lloreansaratoga211: That's kinda what it sounded like, yes.
23:34:33saratoga211neat idea
23:34:38JdGordon|wno no.. you have it all wrong....
23:34:41JdGordon|wnot malloc!!
23:34:55conandolol
23:34:59saratoga211was actually going to suggest a while back that if people really wanted JPEG in core, they should find a way to run it out of MOB
23:34:59Bagderwell, it will only be neat if the data can go away when the song is complete
23:35:10saratoga211but I didn't want to lose face
23:35:24Bagdermob kind of implies short-lived data that dies when the song ends
23:35:26GodEatersaratoga211, sort of like loading a picture "codec" ? :)
23:35:39LloreanBagder: But codecs die when "there are no songs in the buffer of this format, and we're playing another format" right?
23:35:44saratoga211hell just make people put the jpeg decoder in their ID3v2 tags
23:35:50LloreanGodEater: Gee, I've never suggested image codecs before. ;)
23:35:57GodEaterhehe
23:36:03saratoga211problem solved
23:36:10BagderLlorean: hm, right. I'll admit I'm not sure how they behave...
23:36:12conandoLlorean: that was what i so blatantly shorted to "dynamically reserve/reclaim memory" ;) sorry for not being exact
23:36:38Lloreanconando: That's a lot more than that, it introduces new interactions between subsystems that would *drastically* complicate things.
23:37:01saratoga211it seems like having a way to request memory from the playback buffer would be better though
23:37:03GodEateractually just thinking about it makes my head hurt
23:37:03amiconnsaratoga211: Problem with jpeg is that it also needs a buffer to decode into
23:37:15LloreanIt'd probably be best if Plugins could just query "How much data in the plugin buffer is "consumed" or marked as used, how much is the largest contiguous chunk, and can i have that chunk or if it's larger than X, a chunk of X size?"
23:37:27JdGordon|wi doubt picture flow would like having the data moved around... iirc MoB is moved around in the buffer when tracks are added/removed
23:37:34conandoLlorean: i can imagine.. i'm still at the beginning of getting an idea how it all interacts together.. so i hope you can excuse me being such a greenhorn at the moment :)

23:37:47LloreanJdGordon|w: But it'd have a buffer handle, wouldn't it? Meaning the handle would still be usable after the move?
23:37:54JdGordon|wyes
23:38:21 Quit webguest30 (Client Quit)
23:38:30LloreanSo I bet Pictureflow could be made to work with a buffer handle. Say, ask for 4MB of additional data, or if that much hasn't been consumed by playback yet, then "the largest contiguous chunk you can give me" or something?
23:39:04eigmaHAHAHA it's so broken it's not even funny
23:39:20GodEaterthen why do you laugh ? :)
23:39:42eigmato keep from crying ;)
23:40:37saratoga211looking at the jpeg spec, i think we could limit the decode buffer to just a little larger then the buffer needed for the resized album art pretty easily
23:40:39conandolol
23:40:45LloreanBagder: Would there be a lot of hate if someone did come up with a way for plugins to "Buffer" data for their own use?

23:41:17GodEaterI can't imagine why there would be - since it's a neat way to do it
23:41:18conandothat would be cool i guess.. but if there would be hate.. then better not
23:41:20Bagderbut I have a hard time to see how it can be done nicely
23:41:32linuxstbDoesn't that imply holes will be start appearing in the buffer? IIUC, that's currently avoided.

23:42:48conandonot to rain on anyones parade but... while this is not implemented nicely (which, don't get me wrong, is something that is _always_ preferable) ..would it at least be possible for picture flow as a plugin to somehow "schedule" a song to be played and then immediately exit?
23:42:50JdGordon|wlike i said before... iirc handles are moved around in the buffer to avoid gaps which may cause problems

23:43:43LloreanJdGordon|w: Yeah, but if you have like, 5 Oggs, 1 mp3, and 1 Ogg, doesn't the Ogg codec stick around on buffer until that last one is played?
23:43:47*Llorean thought it did.
23:43:58*JdGordon|w doesnt know
23:43:58eigmaGodEater: can you show me a sample?
23:44:04JdGordon|wlostlogic: Nico_P ?
23:44:29saratoga211regarding holes in the buffer, we could limit plugins to requesting memory from the end of the buffer only, and simply force a rebuffer whenever they do it?
23:44:35LloreanJdGordon|w: Anyway, yeah, the "Plugin BufferData" or whatever would have to be moved to the beginning before rebuffering, I'd imagine, so plugins would have to be happy with moved data.
23:44:37conandoBagder: oh cool.. because as of now picture flow works quite nicely when no song is being played.. but if you select a song simply nothing happens.. and it would be nice to be able to use it at least in it's current state

23:46:03eigmato rockbox-dev?
23:46:04LloreanNico_P: If you have 5 oggs, two MP3s, and another Ogg on buffer, the Vorbis codec exists on the buffer once, or more than once?

23:46:34Nico_PLlorean: IIRC it exists more than once but I'm not 100% sure
23:46:41saratoga211i thought we had 1MB of space allocated that holds whatever codec is currently in use?
23:46:53Lloreansaratoga211: Currently jpeg fails and says "You have to stop playback." If they can't get enough, have them prompt the user to perform a manual rebuffer, but only do it if they need more than is available, *and* the user confirms it?
23:47:02 Quit miepchen^schlaf (Read error: 104 (Connection reset by peer))
23:47:49saratoga211Llorean: seems like it'd be better to just have the codec force a rebuffer if needed. in the case of jpeg it'd only ever happen once per boot anyway
23:48:03saratoga211rather then make people rebuffer manually every time they reboot if they want album art
23:48:30GodEatereigma, rockbox users I think
23:49:05conandoyes.. it would be a weird question for a "normal" user i guess ;)
23:50:37 Quit George_G ("CGI:IRC (Ping timeout)")
23:50:52amiconnImo playback is still the main purpose of rockbox. If a plugin cannot work while music is playing because it'd need more than just the plugin buffer, it should just throw a message and exit, like jpeg currently does
23:51:48Lloreanamiconn: I don't see why it shouldn't be able to claim a part of the plugin buffer, if there's some free.

23:52:29saratoga211well if we don't want to let plugins work from the playback buffer, we could just limit plugins that need more buffer to flash targets and targets with 64+MB of RAM
23:52:30LloreanAnd/or if you stop playback, launch the plugin, then resume playback, why the plugin shouldn't only be using a finite amount of the compressed buffer rather than "all"

23:53:44eigmaanother day, another day.
23:53:48eigmacheers everyone
23:53:48kugelIMO the audio buffer is too high for flash targets (at least on my e200)

23:54:19Lloreanamiconn: There's a "Playback" menu that gives you limited controls over volume, skipping, pause/stop/resume.
23:54:24kugelsince flash targets doesn't benefit greatly from MoB, the RAM could be used for plugins like jpeg viewer and pictureflow
23:54:29conandohm i'm with Llorean on this one...
23:54:51saratoga211kugel: yes a smaller audio buffer on the sansa would be nice, since it would probably help with that annoying flash memory access noise bug in sandisk's hardware
23:55:00Lloreankugel: Saying that isn't beneficial. A proper solution would benefit flash targets too anyway, so why not search for one?
23:55:07conandokugel that's where i'm coming from..
23:55:30JdGordon|wsaratoga211: wouldnt it make it worse?
23:55:46conandoi guess he was being sarcastic :)
23:55:47kugelI think MoB is great, but only for hdd-based targets
23:56:04kugelcan't the buffer for flash targets just reduced?
23:56:15BagderI think mob makes sense on all targets
23:56:28Bagderbut for flash targets, plugin buffer sizes etc could be raised
23:56:44conandokugel: i guess saratoga is somehow right.. i didn't think of the flash memory access noise myself
23:56:57kugelBagder: Agreed
23:57:23pixelmanot for all "flash targets" though... have to remember... ;)
23:57:24kugelconando: I don't even know if I ever heard this noise
23:57:32conandoit's quite annoying and especially noticeable if for example the picture flow plugin rebuilds it's AA cache.. :-(
23:58:04conandokugel: really?! uh then consider yourself lucky! ;)
23:58:33saratoga211JdGordon|w: Its barely noticible now, i think if buffering didn't last 3-4 seconds I would never notice it
23:58:38pixelmaI meant "remind" people
23:58:41*JdGordon|w doesnt hear the noise either
23:59:01saratoga211of course you'd still get the same amount of noise, it'd just be a lot harder to hear if it only lasted 1 second
