00:03:07stripwaxhello
00:03:19*stripwax finds this rather amusing
00:03:34webguest70how hard is it to reprogram MP3 Player?
00:03:39stripwaxvery
00:03:47stripwaxwebguest70 - which mp3 player?
00:03:48webguest70Ok
00:04:05webguest70Coby MP-C7082
00:04:47stripwaxI don't think I've heard of that one before. Certainly rockbox doesn't currently run on it.. are you a developer?
00:05:00webguest70No. Not really

00:06:45webguest70stripwax?

00:07:10 Quit robin0800 (" HydraIRC -> http://www.hydrairc.com <- Would you like to know more?")
00:07:33webguest70well they claim that if needed be, they will have firmware available for download on their website
00:07:39webguest70but they don't have anything
00:07:50webguest70and the firmware is really bad
00:08:36*gevaerts 's previous player also claimed firmware upgradability, but google hadn't ever heard of the brand...
00:08:52stripwaxwebguest70 - can you find out more about the hardware itself? what processor it has for example.
00:09:37LawliPop|Len|Hmm, looks like the video and sound is way off sync.
00:09:54stripwaxwebguest70 - does it have any firmware files (even if a file for the current version of the firmware is available would help identify its innards)

00:23:30crzyboysterI have noticed something odd about the brickmania game. A while ago (1-2 months maybe) the scrolling in the game was "smooth" and not "blocky" like it is right now. I remember when I first started using rockbox, the paddle scrolling was "blocky" and then some time ago it became "smooth" and now it's back to "blocky".Anyone know what I'm talking about and why it happened?
00:23:43webguest70OK
00:24:03webguest29not realy helpful. I looked through all of the reecent ones, but i couldent find the one i was looking for.

00:33:20stripwaxEZ-Surfer - it depends what you're looking at exactly. I think the opcode contains a relative address rather than absolute.. but the convention in disassembly output is to show the (calculated..) absolute address.
00:33:33stripwaxsorry if that wasn't clear

04:00:11asdrubalthere is no option to set anything regarding usb in my sansa
04:00:16asdrubalthis is OF

04:04:53ddaltonwhere do I get rbutil from and is it gtk? (linux one) if it is gtk does anyone know of a command line version? and can the cli version do talkclips?
04:04:55LloreanIf you turn on the hold switch and hold a button (I can't remember which, left maybe) while inserting USB, it'll do UMS mode
04:05:12 Quit Thundercloud (Remote closed the connection)
04:05:39krazykitddalton, read the manual for the link, they're all written in QT, and the command-line version is still very new, though the recent SVN commits should give you some indication of usability
04:06:01maxftballi have a sansa e260 and when i play movies there is 1/8th of an inch at the top that is not being used and the video is cut off on the right (using it turned sideways)
04:06:24maxftballis there any way to get it centered?
04:06:30ddaltonoh qt... damn. so thats not accessible at all?
04:06:34Lloreanmaxftball: What resolution did you encode at?
04:06:50maxftballlet em check
04:07:10krazykitddalton, it's supposed to be.
04:07:16ddaltonso if I update my svn to the latest can I just build the cli version of rbutil?

04:10:01Lloreanasdrubal: Did you follow the actual method as posted, wherever it's posted, or just try to get it from my brief guess here?
04:10:09asdrubalWith the device off, engage the hold switch, press and hold the rewind button, plug the device in your computer. If done correctly, the Sansa will be recognized as an MSC device.
04:10:23maxftball240 high 320 wide
04:10:27maxftballpixels
04:10:29asdrubalLlorean, doesn't work
04:10:31Lloreanasdrubal: Not with the device off.
04:10:44asdrubal?
04:10:58Lloreanasdrubal: Boot the device into the firmware. Once it's fully booted, and not plugged into the computer, THEN engage the hold switch. Then while holding down the rewind button, insert the USB cable
04:11:17asdrubalill try
04:11:18Lloreanmaxftball: That's far larger than the dimensions of the sansa's screen.
04:11:25rashermaxftball: That's the wrong resolution. The e200 is 176x220 (or 220x176 when rotated)
04:11:40LloreanEncode at 220x176 for the e200, yes (or smaller)
04:11:45maxftballyea i didnt think about it when i encoded it
04:12:12asdrubalLlorean, ok that worked
04:12:17Absinthedoes anyone know about the status of the sansa view port?
04:12:22Lloreanmaxftball: Well, generally speaking, you should follow the directions for using software before asking why it's not working.
04:12:27LloreanAbsinthe: There is no status
04:13:04Absintheso it's in the "why dont you learn assembly and get to work if you really want it" stage?
04:13:23LloreanMore or less
04:14:45Absinthealright. Hardware's pretty different, though the mi4 format remains, right.

04:39:38speeddemon8803How exactly do i put rockbox on my ipod nano 1st gen? i tried...and i almost succeded into turning it into a paperweight, I had to reinstall my os to get it to mount it.
04:41:00LloreanAt what step in the manual did you encounter that problem?
04:42:11ED209I'm wondering how difficult it would be to make a realtime pitch shifter, that takes a signal from the line in and pitch shifts it, then sends it out the headphones... for an iriver h300
04:42:29speeddemon8803i basically grabbed rockbox, I copied all the files to the ipod itself....deleted the original ipod firmware (but i had it backed up)
04:42:50speeddemon8803i thought it would be as simple as copy/paste....not so
04:43:10psycho_maniacwow you really should of read the manual first.
04:43:46LloreanED209: You already asked that.
04:43:53speeddemon8803I skimmed the manual!
04:44:08Lloreanspeeddemon8803: READ the manual. How did you even delete the original firmware, it's in a hidden inaccessible partition.
04:44:24ED209nobody answered my question so I thought I'd elaborate
04:44:58speeddemon8803when i open up my ipod in linux..what are the files and folders that i see?
04:44:59LloreanED209: "Elaborate" generally means add more information. Perhaps you meant reiterate?
04:45:03speeddemon8803is that the firmware?
04:45:06Lloreanspeeddemon8803: No.
04:45:33Lloreanspeeddemon8803: Just either files you've copied to it, settings, or crud that will be recreated each time you use the original firmware.
04:45:52speeddemon8803ok...so..i actually didnt do anything "major"
04:45:53speeddemon8803phew
04:45:58ED209I meant elaborate, I added one extra "spec"

05:32:56J3TC-It seems if there is too much viewport code, it freezes while shutting down
05:35:41LloreanJ3TC-: "too much" isn't a terribly objective term. Done much testing to quantify?
05:36:55J3TC-Well, I'm not the one testing. Hweb21 does a lot of x5 themes and he uses my builds. We noticed that 2 of out 3 of his themes freezes while shutting down.
05:37:28J3TC-I don't know anything about wps coding so I can't say much but that's what he commented. He did say he'll do more testing tomorrow
05:37:49LloreanSo what you're saying is "I haven't tested it with only the one viewports patch"?
05:37:53J3TC-I also used the viewports theme in the wiki and those didn't give me the freezing shutdown behavior
05:38:48J3TC-Well, it's tested using viewports, viewports list and multifont. One of them doesn't used the viewports list code but still gave the same freezing shutdown.
05:38:58LloreanBut it could be multifont.
05:38:59J3TC-So the two patches responsible is multifonts and viewports
05:39:00LloreanPlease test without it.
05:39:16J3TC-I will but more than likely it'd be viewports so just saying
05:39:23LloreanAnd once you've verified which patch causes the problem, report the issue and what needs to be known to reproduce it in the task for that patch
05:39:45J3TC-I think it's probably too much being for the buffer?
05:40:35LloreanIf there's too much data for the WPS buffer, then you simply don't get all the images in the WPS.
05:40:49LloreanUnless multifont is abusing the buffer somehow.
05:40:58LloreanBut please, just do some testing, and report it on the task
05:40:58J3TC-Hrmm, I see
05:41:14LloreanWhoever maintains the patch may not be around ,and anyone new interested in working on it may not see it here
05:41:36J3TC-Of course, I'm just saying what's happening right now to find out more about it

06:21:47Davide-NYCFour reasons
06:21:50Davide-NYC:)
06:26:18JdGordonCF in the irivers would make them amazing
06:29:03LloreanDavide-NYC: I'm pretty sure someone mentioned that the fix in the forum thread isn't a "fix" so much as a hack anyway
06:29:39Davide-NYCI think there is a piece missing to some of these success stories.
06:30:57Davide-NYCThe question is, when using a particular CF card, whether the bootloader loads and *then* rockbox fails, which is solved by the ata.c sleep hack, or whether the bootloader fails with an ATA error. (as in my case)
06:31:57Davide-NYCbecause the ata.c hack doesn;t touch the bootloader. Which to me means that the failure happened after the bootloader stage.
06:32:24Davide-NYC(in those instances where the ata.c hack actually produces a successful result)
06:34:06LloreanI don't see how the bootloader can work without an ata driver.
06:34:46Davide-NYCThe bootloader isn't being compiled in this instance. So the ata driver is there as it always is.
06:35:42LloreanBut as it is, if I recall it was said that we aren't doing timing properly
06:35:55LloreanA real fix would require a bootloader change, it may be more or less chance that it's getting past it.
06:36:38Davide-NYCBy more or less chance you mean brand and model of CF card, right?
06:36:58LloreanDavide-NYC: But what confused me was that you said "the changes don't touch the bootloader." If They do, but you didn't install a modified one, that's different.
06:37:08psycho_maniacwould be nice if it was just a bootloader change. then could there be a chance that bootloader would be hosted on the rockbox wiki page?
06:37:34Davide-NYCIs this the timing you speak of? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Programmed_input/output
06:37:55LloreanDavide-NYC: I honestly don't know, I wasn't paying much attention and someone else was talking about it.
06:38:04LloreanI think amiconn
06:38:32***Saving seen data "./dancer.seen"
06:39:07J3TC-Llorean: You maybe right
06:39:35Davide-NYCamiconn: why is it that certain CF card seem to work with RB on an iRiver H1x0 and other's do not? Is there a way to correct this across all targets for most (if not all) CF cards?
06:39:43J3TC-I just compiled three builds. First was viewports..the said theme shut down just fine then the 2nd build with viewports list. Again that worked
06:40:01J3TC-And using the multifont along with those 2, it froze up while shutting down
06:40:34J3TC-I would apply just the multifont but it's dependent on both of them I think.

08:44:06GodEaterI still fail to see the necessity for XML as a parser
08:44:15GodEaterpresumably Rockbox already has code to parse it's existing format
08:44:18GodEaterwhy not use that ?
08:44:32LloreanI don't see the need to use XML as a parser.
08:45:02GodEaterI don't see the need to use it ever anywhere :)
08:45:22Bagderhaha
08:45:48LloreanWe just need something like features.txt but describing the settings menu, and valid values for each setting, to be included with builds so that RButil can be pointed at a device with Rockbox installed, and know what the settings are named, and their ranges. It has no need to know what they actually to, or have anything complex, to create a valid .cfg file
08:47:05*amiconn doesn't see the need for that, but then he has no use for rbutil in general either

08:53:41GodEaterand where are the allowed values held currently then ?
08:54:33amiconnIn the settings tables in the code
08:54:54GodEaterso again, already existing code....
08:54:57amiconnWhat I mean is that with the old settings code, the written .cfg files also contained that info

09:18:32JdGordonGodEater: the existing format is macros and C, so no.. its gcc which does it atm. I'm using a plugin to dump that to text, and yes it doesnt have to be xml.. but thats how it is untill someone comes up with a better format
09:19:09GodEaterJdGordon: ah ok - that makes things much clearer - thanks :)

09:21:56GodEatercool - I'd just run out ;)
09:22:03peturtea please (for me)
09:22:13LinusNi think that feature goes into the "fluff" category, but i do think XML looks appropriate in this case

09:24:33peturBagder: I have not followed much of the discussion about the iriver+CF giving ata -80, any thoughts? It was set_features(), right? Maybe the PIO mode setting?
09:24:54LinusNpetur: probably

09:25:34*JdGordon wonders how adding this would be more fluff than say the downloading the doom wads in rbutil
09:25:57BagderJdGordon: that's just downloading a single stupid URL
09:26:13JdGordon... and even if it is... its rbutil so why cant it have some extra fluff?
09:26:14Bagderthat's fluff too, but less fluff
09:26:19*petur has an A-DATA card giving the same result. The other two cards just give a Div0
09:26:21LinusNJdGordon: because downloading doom wads don't reguire syncing to a specific version of rockbox
09:26:56LinusNand don't require adding a new plugin or complicating the build system
09:26:57BagderJdGordon: I'm already stated my reasoning, I don't think I need to repeat that here
09:27:10JdGordonit doesnt force a specific version... it suggests a minimum version.. and might still work if the versions dont match anyway

09:27:31LinusNi understand that
09:27:45LinusNhow do you intend to create the xml file?
09:27:47*JdGordon also said tha the plugin is a once off thing and the xml would be mostly static anyway
09:27:52LloreanJdGordon: I haven't looked at your method. how does it deal with target-specific settings?
09:27:55LloreanLike the volume range differences.
09:28:10JdGordonit doesnt yet because I dont know how it should.. thats why i put the email out
09:28:36LinusNi think the xml should be created by the build process and be included in the rockbox zip file
09:28:46LinusNlike the language support files
09:28:46Lloreanit seems to me that the build system should generate a file describing all the setting and their ranges, and RButil should grab that file from the build on the target (like the rbinfo file) rather than downloading it.
09:28:54Bagderindeed
09:28:56LloreanUhm, yeah, what LinusN said. :)'
09:29:00LinusN:-)
09:29:08Bagderto make it follow the version you got
09:29:23JdGordonby all means, create the script.. I suck at perl/scripting so thats beyond me
09:29:54JdGordonbut i'm saying thats a waste because 1) we usually say people shold be runing the svn version anwyay, and 2) it will be static
09:30:05JdGordonwhen was the last time settings_list.c was changed?
09:30:26Bagder1) the svn version is downloaded as a zip and it would then contain the xml
09:30:35peturJdGordon: tomorrow
09:30:49LinusNpetur has a time machine?
09:31:27peturLinusN: easy to predict, the moment somebody says it hasn't been done in ages, the next day it happens
09:31:29JdGordonBagder: well the .xml would be in the source so thats not a problem
09:31:38LinusNpetur: :-)
09:31:56Bagderit would be in the source?
09:32:00LinusNhardly
09:32:11BagderI don't see how that would be any good
09:35:16LinusNBagder: it depends on if the xml is generated from settings_list.c or the opposite
09:35:22Bagderyes
09:35:31Bagderbut I will be scared the day we use xml in the rockbox code
09:35:44LinusNit could make sense to generate settings_list.c from the xml file
09:36:01LinusNin this case xml might make sense
09:36:10LinusNcan't believe i said that :-)
09:36:18Bagderwell, perhaps compared to the current macro mania... :-)
09:36:43Bagderbut I would rather avoid xml

09:40:04*petur votes for a tracker cleanup week to get JdGordon's head off xml (1027 entries currently!)
09:40:35pondlifeThat's a bit of a gut feeling, I've not had time to track it through yet.
09:41:49*JdGordon really cant see what the fuss is all about.. it it had any connection to the main binary then I wouldnt care.. but there is none
09:42:14peturyet
09:42:18BagderJdGordon: all code that goes into rockbox has association with the main binary
09:42:29pondlifeNo fuss, you do it if you want. Personally it smells like you'd end up having to sync two settings structures and add a dependency...
09:42:50pondlifeBut there are far more pressing problems to be solved.
09:43:38JdGordonBagder: rbutil/ has no bearing what so ever on the binary
09:43:43*pondlife just has a general aversion to any new features until all the bugs have been fixed...
09:44:03BagderJdGordon: of course not, but you're talking about doing things in the rockbox end as well
09:44:04pondlife...but not enough time to help
09:44:16JdGordonBagder: no im not...
09:44:33JdGordonits the others that want to add docs into the bin/plugins
09:44:36Bagderok sorry, then I misunderstood
09:44:36JdGordonim against that
09:45:29pondlifeDo we have a dedicated plugin buffer?
09:45:38pondlifei.e. a bit of memory only used for plugins
09:45:45JdGordonyes...
09:47:13pondlifeOK, how about we update the implementation of the plugin load/unload so that the last plugin can remain loaded and be reused without disk spinup? Only usable for plugins that tell us that they don't assume memory has been zeroed, of course.
09:47:29JdGordonbecause that was rejected already
09:47:33pondlifeWhy?
09:47:36*JdGordon did that patch and had it working
09:47:37Lloreanpondlife: Isn't that a new feature, rather than a bug fix? :-P
09:47:42pondlifeYes
09:47:54pondlifeBut JdGordon wants to work on a new feature
09:48:49pondlifeIt seems that would be a sensible precursor to a settings plugin. The settings could live in there all the time unless the user selected another plugin.
09:49:21pondlifeWe could load it at startup so there would be no extra spinup first time.
09:49:46pondlifeThat should free up a nice bit of audio buffer

09:55:46Bagderrombox is a lost cause
09:55:53pondlifeI just like the idea of the core being small and dedicated to crashless audio playback :)
09:55:59LinusNDA-AtWork: it only happens with the database?
09:56:19JdGordonpondlife: rebuilding the playback system would do a better job of that

09:56:48DA-AtWorkLinusN: I haven't tried using it with the file browser
09:56:59LinusNi think offloading core stuff to plugins is a bad idea in general

09:57:39JdGordon:)
09:58:07DA-AtWorkLinusN: And so far, only with FLAC, I don't use MP3s much so I don't know if it afflicts them too
09:58:11LinusNDA-AtWork: i see, but we really need to find a way to trigger the problem, or we can't fix it
09:58:20*JdGordon wishes he had some idea how a dsp/software mixer needs to work to put some of jhMikeS's ideas into code
09:58:20pondlifeJdGordon: If you have spare time, seriously consider getting into playback.c. We always need SWCODEC playback gurus.
09:58:41pondlifeOr pcmbuf if you prefer
09:59:02DA-AtWorkLinusN: I know...
09:59:11DA-AtWorkDoes that output tell you anything? It's just obscure to me
10:00
10:00:23Slasherirewriting the pcmbuf side would be a good place to start. and fixing that crossfade thas has became unusable because it crashes the system
10:01:12DA-AtWorkOk, I just switched track like 15 times using the file browser, and it's still running
10:02:00SlasheriDA-AtWork: does it happen for other filetypes than flac too?
10:02:41LinusNDA-AtWork: unfortunately, the error message is of little use, all it says is that it crashed in the __udivdi3 routine, but not which function that called it

10:21:02DA-AtWorkAlso, battery life sucks when using FLAC, but that's expectable, I suppose. :P
10:21:02pondlifeI mean, is it when you skip from track 9 to 10 (and tracks 1-9 were buffered in memory, but 10 was not)
10:21:30DA-AtWorkNo, I open all tracks from a single artist and just select randomly among albums

10:21:46DA-AtWorketc...
10:22:04pondlifeOK, so it's probably having to buffer each time
10:22:06GodEaterpondlife: given the use case, I suspect none of the tunes he's selecting are buffered
10:22:45GodEateralso - if they're all flac, then there's probably never more than one or two on the buffer in any case
10:23:35pondlifeDA-AtWork: Another useful thing you can do is set up a build environment, then work out which version first suffered the problem. This is only really practical if you can guarantee a crash within a certain number of skips though.

10:32:07pondlifeSelect the "old" link and a particular date
10:32:53DA-AtWorkok

10:33:45pondlifeNo rush

10:34:55DA-AtWorkWhy that number?
10:35:26pondlifeThe last 30 days daily builds are available. If you want older ones you have to build your own (which is pretty easy).
10:36:08linuxstbUnless they've "fixed" it, many of the download mirrors even have older builds than that.
10:36:31BagderI think "they" fixed it by now
10:36:56DA-AtWorkok
10:37:04linuxstbNot all - I've just seen a server with builds going back to May 2007...
10:37:10Bagderah ok
10:37:26Bagderthen it was more than one server before... as I know one who fixed it
10:37:36linuxstbYes, I'm pretty sure it was all of them.
10:38:37***Saving seen data "./dancer.seen"
10:42:26DA-AtWorkBTW, is there anything I can do to improve battery life?
10:42:36pondlifeSkip less
10:42:51pondlifeUse a more compact format
10:43:15pondlifeBasically try to avoid use of the hard disk
10:43:21DA-AtWorkI know that FLAC uses a lot, but even for the MP3s I have, battery life is rather short compared to my old MP3 player
10:43:27DA-AtWorkWhat do you mean skip less?
10:44:34pondlifeLet it play from a playlist or album, so it knows which tracks to buffer. When you select random tracks it has to spin up the hard disk each time.
10:45:23pondlifeIf you play an album (or a playlist) it will buffer as much as it can then spin down (or even power down) the disk
10:46:02DA-AtWorkI see
10:46:04linuxstbDA-AtWork: FLAC uses less battery than MP3 (in my tests on an ipod Color)
10:46:12pondlifeIf that's using MP3s on a shortish album it might read the whole lot in one read.
10:46:19DA-AtWorklinuxstb: I have the exact opposite experience
10:46:25DA-AtWorkFLAC drains my battery much faster
10:46:32DA-AtWorkI've got a Gigabeat F20
10:46:35pondlifeThat's probably your usage pattern
10:46:58pondlifeFLAC is cheap to decode, but the Gigabeat has a powerful CPU
10:47:00linuxstbHave you done a proper runtime test? i.e. fully charge your F20, then play an album on repeat (do nothing else) and measure the runtime?
10:47:05DA-AtWorkOgg Vorbis provides me with by far the best battery life, for some reason
10:47:13linuxstbBut yes, it may well be different on the gigabeat.
10:47:16DA-AtWorklinuxstb: No
10:47:51pondlifeIf Rockbox knows what you are going to play, it will use less battery.
10:47:59pondlifeSadly, it's not (yet) psychic
10:48:12DA-AtWorkOkay
10:48:23DA-AtWorkWell, the database more or less tells it what it's gonna play, no?
10:48:43pondlifeYes, but when you make a new selection, it starts anew
10:48:48linuxstbDo you skip often?
10:48:50DA-AtWorkAha, I see
10:48:57DA-AtWorklinuxstb: yes
10:49:17DA-AtWorkStrange, the monitor turns on every time it switches to a different song
10:49:19linuxstbThat's probably the reason than - Rockbox can probably buffer about 8 MP3s in RAM, but only 1 flac.
10:49:35DA-AtWorkI see
10:49:42pondlifeDA-AtWork: That's the "Caption Backlight" option, you should probably turn that off
10:49:44linuxstbSo every skip with FLAC requires a disk spinup and the buffer to be completely refilled.

10:54:41pondlifeOther things you can do to save battery: don't use EQ/crossfeed/peakmeters/album art. Keep the backlight on time as short as you can.
10:54:45 Quit homielowe (Remote closed the connection)
10:54:58*pondlife wonders if FLAC + AA works
10:55:21DA-AtWorkFLAC + AA?
10:56:30pondlifeFLAC (using up your entire buffer with one track) and Album Art (also needing buffer space)
10:57:07DA-AtWorkAh
10:57:10LinusNwouldn't large mp3 files have the same problem?
10:57:20DA-AtWorkPodcasts
10:57:21linuxstbpondlife: All my music is FLAC, and AA works fine.
10:57:32pondlifeI was only wondering
10:57:55DA-AtWorkWait, I got an idea... isn't it possible just to make Rockbox buffer parts of the FLAC file instead of the whole damn thing?
10:58:04DA-AtWorkBuffering the next minute, for example
10:58:23Bagderand then ?
10:58:36Bagderload a minute at a time?
10:58:52Bagderspinup up the disk every minute?
10:59:23linuxstbIIRC, Apple's ipod firmware does something like that - buffering the beginnings of upcoming tracks, on the assumption that users skip a lot. I assume that after a certain time (30 seconds?) the rest of the track is then buffered.
10:59:40linuxstb(or so I've heard people claim...)
10:59:57Bagderyeah, and we have this idea brought up every now and then
11:00
11:00:00DA-AtWorkBadger: Good point...
11:00:20DA-AtWorkBattery life would suffer
11:01:01BagderDA-AtWork: believe it or not, but the current concept has gotten a bit of thought already
11:01:04linuxstbDA-AtWork: You could stop skipping ;) e.g. create playlists or delete songs you don't like...
11:01:30Bagderor just accept that this is the battery life under these conditions
11:02:10linuxstbDA-AtWork: How long is your battery life? I can't recall my gigabeat ever running out, and people have reported about 18 hours (I think) in runtime tests.
11:02:48pondlifeI guess the fairest check is to compare with the Original Firmware, but Gigabeat can't dual boot, can it?
11:03:04linuxstbNo, and for good reason :)
11:03:15pondlifeGood reason?
11:03:19linuxstbIt sucks
11:03:23pondlifehah
11:03:35pondlifeI've never seen it
11:03:42linuxstbBut also, it can only play its own encrypted format (.sat), so you'll need two copies of the music.
11:03:56pondlifeUrgh, that *does* suck
11:04:08pondlifeAn OF that can't play MP3?
11:04:09DA-AtWorklinuxstb: about 10hrs with MP3, 3-4 with FLAC.
11:04:13linuxstbWhich requires a windows app to transfer.
11:04:32DA-AtWorkVery low, compared to my old Zen Touch, which could do 22hrs (it was stolen :( )
11:04:37linuxstbDA-AtWork: You must either do a _lot_ of skipping, or your battery is in need of replacing.
11:06:10linuxstbI use FLAC all the time on my gigabeat, and as I said, it never seems to run out - so I would guess it could last for about 15-20 hours. (I probably use it for about 2 hours a day, and it seems to last for a couple of weeks)
11:06:25DA-AtWorklinuxstb: I do skip a bit, but not all the time.
11:06:52DA-AtWorkThe MP3 player is from ebay, it's probably not exactly new... where can I get a replacement battery?
11:07:08linuxstbI'm not sure - I don't think they're easy to find. markun may know...

11:27:30DA-AtWorkI think I usually use q8 when I use ogg vorbis
11:27:33DA-AtWorkOr something like that
11:27:45markunit surprises me that there is such a big difference with MP3 and FLAC on you player.
11:27:50DA-AtWorkBut either way, it's bound to be an increase over what I have now
11:27:59markunsince linuxstb gets a normal runtime
11:28:00DA-AtWorkMaybe it is my skipping that's causing it
11:28:09DA-AtWorkbut I do the same with mp3s
11:28:30markunreading from the HDD is very power consuming
11:28:51DA-AtWorkSo I was told
11:29:05LloreanAnd skipping would cause a lot more reads with flac than with mp3
11:29:07DA-AtWorkHow about the screen? does it suck a lot of power too?

11:30:27DA-AtWorkhehe
11:30:28pondlifeOr just remove it
11:30:35GodEaternah - too many people would ask what "Expedient" meant
11:30:36DA-AtWorkCaption Backlight was annoying me a lot
11:30:38markunif we ever support players with an amoled screen (like the iriver clix2) we can tell people to use a black background to save power :)
11:30:42LloreanPeople apparently use Caption Backlight.
11:30:43pondlifeI've never understood what use it is
11:30:45DA-AtWorkThanks for pointing out how to turn it off, guys
11:31:03pondlifeIt used to annoy me back on the JBR, it was on by default IIRC.
11:31:04DA-AtWorkpondlife: Whenever a track is changed, the backlight turns on
11:31:13pondlifeYes, but why would you want that?
11:31:24GodEaterin case you wanted to know what the new track was ?
11:31:27linuxstbI guess it's useful in a car
11:31:40pondlifeIf you want to see the display, push a key
11:31:57pondlifeUse the "First Keypresss..." option if needed
11:32:08GodEaterpondlife: that's what I'd do yes, but other people are lazy :)
11:32:08pondlifeBut why light the screen when just playing?
11:32:22linuxstbIn a car, isn't it better to not press buttons?
11:32:34pondlifeI'd find reading the screen harder than pressing a button
11:32:38GodEaterlinuxstb: yes, but it's also good to keep an eye on the road
11:32:43DA-AtWorkJust a question, BTW, guys
11:33:20DA-AtWorkIs it possible to connect the player to USB, but without losing control of the player (so that I can still use it), unless the player is mounted by the USB host?
11:33:39DA-AtWorkBecause I got no charger and always use USB to charge it, yet I'd like to be able to use the player while charging
11:33:48linuxstbWe can't detect if it's mounted, but holding MENU as you insert USB will stop it registering as a USB device.
11:34:04*pondlife really must put an option in for that
11:34:05DA-AtWorkOh
11:34:22DA-AtWorklinuxstb: Will that make it usable while charging from USB?

11:49:22DA-AtWorkTo be frank, I really don't like Rockbox's wiki, it's very difficult to search
11:49:33GodEatera common complaint
11:49:46GodEaterand again, one which is never followed by a good suggestion on how to improve it
11:49:57DA-AtWorkOne word: MediaWiki
11:50:08DA-AtWorki.e. Wikipedia's wiki software
11:50:39*amiconn uses 'Caption backlight' at home
11:52:05DA-AtWorklinuxstb: Holding MENU while inserting the USB cable works :D thanks a lot :D
11:52:11GodEaterchanging the software doesn't change how the information is organised DA-AtWork
11:52:23pondlifeamiconn: Why, in particular?
11:52:37pondlifeI'm genuinely interested, not being facetious
11:52:47DA-AtWorkGodEater: Look at how DD-WRT do it
11:52:58amiconnIn order to be able to see the new trackname on track change, without keeping backlight constantly on
11:52:59DA-AtWorkIt's very clean and organized, everything categorized and in lists
11:53:15pondlifeamiconn: Ah, ok.
11:53:16GodEaterDA-AtWork: that doesn't help us
11:53:23GodEaterwe don't use the same information they do
11:53:33LinusNDA-AtWork: is that thanks to mediawiki or the authors of that particular information?
11:53:48*GodEater suspects it's the authors
11:54:40DA-AtWorkBoth, Mediawiki is far more organized by default, but DD-WRT's wiki authors are pretty good too
11:54:41LinusNi can't even see a search button on that page
11:54:55DA-AtWorkLook at the top right corner
11:55:05LinusNit says "Go"
11:55:07amiconnIn the car I set the backlight to always on, btw
11:55:32GodEaterMediaWiki's syntax is also way more complex than twiki's
11:55:40pondlifeI have backlight always on when powered
11:55:45GodEaterusers struggle with twiki as it is
11:55:59GodEaterMediawiki would just make it worse, and reduce the number of people contributing imo
11:56:11DA-AtWorkBut there are plenty more people who know how to use MediaWiki
11:56:25DA-AtWorkI, for example, used to administer a MediaWiki wiki
11:56:27GodEateramongst rockbox's existing user base ?
11:56:31GodEaterhow do you know this ?
11:56:49pondlifeOur wiki is a font of misinformation... :/
11:57:09GodEaterpondlife: yes, but changing it to different software won't help that
11:57:36DA-AtWorkGodEater: I don't know that, but fact is, there are plenty of people who've contributed to mediawiki wikis, Wikipedia being, of course, the most obvious example.
11:57:41pondlifeIndeed, but the amount of badly organised content is a more basic problem
11:57:56LinusNthere are seldom technical solutions to badly organized content
11:57:58GodEaterwikipedia's userbase, compared to ours, is ENORMOUS
11:58:08GodEaterRockbox's user base is tiny
11:58:26DA-AtWorkI've contributed to Wikipedia, too... is it impossible for someone to be both a Rockbox and a Wikipedia user? :P
11:58:40pondlifeI mean, why worry about the wiki software whilst the content needs such a lot of editing and structuring.
11:58:44GodEaterno, but the intersection of the two sets is smaller than you think
11:58:47DA-AtWorkanyway, be back soon - lunch break :D
11:59:56*GodEater appears to be on his own with his belief that moving from twiki to MediaWiki would decrease the number of contributors to the wiki, so shuts up

12:01:18GodEaterindeed
12:01:26LinusNstill, if mediawiki helps us organize the content better than twiki, i'm all for it

12:41:06GodEateryou mean he didn't use sandpaper to clean the screen ? :)
12:41:12Nico_Pthe front doesn't have one scratch on it
12:41:32GodEaternice
12:41:38GodEaterI keep my in a skin to keep it pretty too
12:43:27LloreanCabbie+AA causes skipping audio?
12:43:44GodEaterdoes on my ipod
12:43:51pondlifeNico_P: Have you got any "insane disk activity" yet? :)
12:43:53GodEaterwhen combined with dircache update anyway
12:44:08GodEaterand without the "spinlock" revert patch
12:44:10Nico_Ppondlife: no, and no audio skips either
12:44:21DA-AtWorkWeird... Cabbie 2.0 looks strange with album art :/
12:44:29GodEatersince I applied the "revert spinlock" patch though - it's been fine
12:44:53GodEaterNico_P: there's not too many tracks on the ipod yet though is there ?
12:45:02*GodEater can't remember if amiconn loaded it up or not
12:45:12pondlifeOf course he didn't
12:45:16pondlifeThat would be illegal
12:45:17Nico_Pit only has 21 GB free, so I think he did
12:45:25*GodEater winks at pondlife
12:45:30GodEaterI think you're right then ;)

12:45:37Nico_PI'm starting to have trouble believing the spinlock commit is fine and only highlighted existing issues
12:45:42Bagderthat must be debug logs only, obviously
12:45:44GodEaterso all you need to do then is load it up with AA stuff
12:46:27*GodEater wonders why it would be illegal anyway - surely it's only illegal if Nico_P copies it off before he gives it back ?
12:47:01Nico_PI can't really be bothered to look for the AA of amiconn's tracks. I'll just copy over my music with its AA
12:47:08GodEatergood plan

13:17:59linuxstbHow does USB audio work? I assume it just transfers PCM audio to/from the device?
13:19:10*linuxstb reads the specs
13:20:15gevaertslinuxstb: basicall. I didn't look very hard at the spec yet, but I understand it uses one endpoint (maybe a pair) to control everything (mixer settings, ...) and one isochronous endpoint for the pcm data (per direction)
13:21:01linuxstbSeems it's not just PCM data - you can use MPEG or AC-3 as well...
13:21:18gevaertslinuxstb: we havent' even tried to get isochronous working until now, and there are still lots of issues with the current stack and storage code, so it's still mostly dreaming...
13:21:43linuxstbSo a full implementation would need to use the codecs...
13:22:50 Nick fxb__ is now known as fxb (n=felixbru@h1252615.stratoserver.net)
13:22:55linuxstbIn fact, even PCM can be many formats (fixed-point integer, float, a-law etc)
13:23:42gevaertslinuxstb: as far as I understand a device is allowed to implement all those, but they are not all required
13:24:36pondlifeA USB audio output would want to feed from the final PCM output anyway, no? So EQ etc. could be used.
13:24:50pondlifeSoftware EQ, I mean
13:24:50ZagorI'm undecided about whether I consider it worth making the code more complex (by adding iso transfers) for usb audio
13:25:25ZagorI don't see any real use cases for it, other than "it's cool"
13:25:31pondlifeIn car?
13:25:42linuxstbZagor: I understand what you mean, but I like the idea of supporting things the hardware is physically capable of, but original firmwares ignore...
13:25:48linuxstbi.e. "it's cool" ;)
13:25:51Zagorhow many car stereos have you seen that accept usb audio? I have never seen one.
13:26:00Zagorusb sticks, yes. but not usb audio.
13:26:37Zagorlinuxstb: unfortunately there is no end to that reasoning. usb keyboards, networking, video cards etc etc.
13:26:54pondlifeHmm, keyboard...
13:26:54linuxstbSure, it all depends on _how_ complicated things become...
13:27:22gevaertsI can see a few use cases, some real and some less so. I can imagine iriver users wanting to use their optical i/o from a laptop (unfortunately they won't run this usb stack at all, so that's pretty academical)
13:27:42Zagorhehe
13:27:48linuxstbgevaerts: I was thinking that as well - but we have no targets with digital IO and software USB...
13:27:59gevaertsThere is the fm tuner
13:28:16pondlifeWon't iRivers be able to run some of this USB code one day?

14:38:10gevaertsIs the h120 high-speed ?

14:39:18preglowany way of finding out (linux) ?
14:39:19Zagorgevaerts: are you sure the cable spec changed?
14:39:37gevaertsthen the cabling requirements should be the same. Maybe your cable is a bit marginal

16:54:08peturFrankOtto: that's because the usb is handled in hardware
16:54:14n1spetur: but if you load rb from flash, you could test with a modified rb image and still use the tried and tru bootloader
16:54:28peturnls: ah right
16:54:44peturis there a run-from-flash one for h300?
16:54:56n1sno :(
16:55:13n1sha right you have a h300 not h100...
16:55:28peturerr.... wouldn't help. You still need to modify the code that runs from flash
16:55:49petur"there is no disk"
16:56:37n1sbut if the bootloader still works you can swap back to a hd at least

17:05:03peturit actually flashes two things: bootloader and rockbox itself
17:05:14n1sFrankOtto: it allows the rockbox main binary to be loaded from flash
17:05:58rasherSo really, linuxstb would be better using by-uuid rather than by-id at any rate..
17:05:59peturand updating that rockbox binary in flash is less risky than updating the bootloader
17:05:59FrankOttoum, the current stable bootloader for H100 (V6) does that too...
17:06:13rasherOops, scrollback..
17:06:49linuxstbrasher: ?

17:08:10rasherAh, right
17:08:12FrankOtton1s: I only updated the bootloader once, all rockbox updates since then I did by simply updating the files on the disk.
17:08:47FrankOtton1s: or maybe I'm in error about what constitutes the "rockbox main binary"?
17:09:00linuxstbrasher: Also, once Rockbox's UMS drive is up to speed (literally), I can't see a need for ever using the OF's. So I don't care about consistency any more...
17:09:27rasherThere is that

17:26:12kugelgood point
17:27:44kugelHorscht: C doesn't prevent scaling
17:27:46GodEaterhello dan_a - long time no see :)
17:27:54kugelbut i and d do
17:29:22Horschtbut wouldn'z it be more usefull to have c prevent scaling? as to prevent upscaling?
17:29:23J3TC-Wait, so bmp_resize does upscale the image too?
17:29:38Horschtjust my 2c
17:29:49J3TC-Well upscaling wouldn't be too bad if you have to upscale a tiny bit to fill up a space or something
17:29:54dan_aHi GodEater - I've not had time to do any coding for months... but I thought I'd poke my head in, and see what was going on
17:30:19Horschtwould kill aspect ratio, wouldn't it, J3TC-?
17:30:34GodEaterdan_a: read any recent logs ?
17:30:42GodEaterthe USB stuff has come along leaps and bounds
17:30:42J3TC-Why would it?
17:30:52GodEaterit's usable to actually transfer files now :)
17:30:57J3TC-Let's say a photo is already at 90x90 and need to upscale to 100x100
17:31:18Horschtwould make it ugly. Upscaling never really looks good
17:31:19dan_aGodEater: I saw and was impressed
17:31:38kugelHorscht: you can set the d flag to prevent upscaling, c does allign it to center
17:32:00J3TC-I guess but it's still a matter of preference. I'm just saying why kill upscaling all in all
17:32:05J3TC-Also my 2c ;)
17:32:14GodEaterin other news, the Gigabeat S port is coming along nicely - we can get to the point where we can see the Rockbox menu on the screen, and navigate the filesystem
17:32:45Horschtmy 2 cents are european, and more worth than american ones, J3TC- :p
17:32:48markunGodEater: what are the major problems?
17:33:17Horschtanyways, I think having a Tag that prevents upscaling (d as kugel mentioned) is fair enough

17:34:08n1smarkun: no ums mode is a big annoyance

17:35:23linuxstbGodEater: A relatively easy hack would be to incorporate an "untar" feature in the bootloader - so instead of searching the OF files for a rockbox binary, it would look for a .tar, untar it, then delete it.
17:35:39GodEaterlinuxstb: strangely I was just thinking that too
17:36:09dan_aHow easy are Gigabeat Ss to get hold of nowadays?
17:36:23GodEaterdan_a: there was a recent glut of them on ebay
17:36:31GodEaterrecent being "about a month ago"
17:36:38GodEaterI've not looked more recently than that
17:37:34gevaertsIt should be pretty straightforward though, as far as I know only usb_init_device() and usb_pin_detect() from usb-fw-pp502x.c need to be redone for iMX31. It's probably mostly a question of someone trying things out.
17:39:02gevaertsSo it's basically finding out which device-enable bit controls usb, and which GPIO bit has the plugin-detection.

18:43:49peturfilesize went from 2,5MB to 4MB - does that sound OK?
18:43:55SSnakethen i'll make my thesis, clean the code, add some sound support and commit to svn

21:05:05amiconnobo: I wonder why you changed backlight behaviour. A while ago, I purposely changed backlight behaviour on shutdown. It should stay on until the hardware cuts power, in order to verify that it did shut down for real, and didn't hang
21:05:19bertrikit should be simple using a software USB sniffer

21:05:51bertrikoh ATA, sorry
21:06:01amiconnI want to check whether it's possible to teach the ata driver only to use certain features after checking they're supported by the disk
21:06:27amiconn-> No more special ifdefing for nano, or cf card mods. Also cleaner
21:07:26preglowamiconn: does sound sweet, but how do i go about getting this information?

21:08:14preglowamiconn: i can't use a patch right now, though, so if you want immediate results, you'll have to give me a build
21:08:33preglowif not, i can do my own build in a few hours
21:09:23LearBuschel: Far fetched perhaps, but your patch does affect audio hardware, afaict...
21:09:24bluebrothergevaerts: current patch reports hard disc model and firmware revision instead of "Apple iPod" on my mini. I guess this is intended?
21:09:46bluebrotherand OF reports ANSI: 0 while your patch reports 3.
21:12:00gevaertsbluebrother: we could change the model name, but that could lead to an explosion of ifdefs. There was some discussion a few days ago about this
21:12:32bluebrothergevaerts: missed that. But I have no objections to reporting the drive model
21:13:14gevaertsbluebrother: the ANSI version should be 3. Reporting 0 makes the job harder for the OS for no good reason (note that we actually don't support all needed commands yet to be compliant with what we claim)
21:16:17gevaertsbluebrother: we had a discussion earlier today, and those involved then (linuxstb, Zagor and me) agreed that standards compliance is more important than exactly mimicking the OF
21:17:34bluebrotherI absolutely agree.

21:24:56oboamiconn: it's purely cosmetic to get rid of the white flash - would a call to _backlight_led_off() be better?
21:25:21amiconnThe backlight should stay on - that's what was intended
21:25:47amiconnYes it causes a short white flash (noticeability depends on what background you're using normally)
21:26:14oboyes - I really noticed it today using cabbiev2
21:27:27amiconnBut switching the backlight off would cause the battery to be emptied without even noticeing, if the shutdown hangs after switching the light off
21:27:39amiconnNow tell me what's better...
21:27:57obowell, apart from the Nano you get a fairly noticable HDD spin down?
21:28:10amiconnNot if no setting was changed
21:28:20amiconnThen the disk doesn't spin at all
21:29:03amiconnAnd btw, the flash to white only happens on Video afaik. All other targets don't clear the lcd on shutdown, hence no flash
21:30:11oboThey don't? The existing code was #ifdef HAVE_LCD_COLOR...
21:30:31oboAlso, the flyspray report was for a Nano
21:31:12amiconnMaybe nano too, but certainly no others
21:31:57amiconnAll other colour targets have LCDs of the pitch-black type, hence no white flash, if the lcd is shut down properly

21:40:50BigBambiBut nonetheless it should remain in my inconsequential opinion
21:40:59amiconnBut if this is really wanted (sacrificing safety for prettiness), it should at least be kept to those targets which really experience it (i.e. Video and *maybe* nano)

21:41:38LloreanI definitely think the backlight should stay down during shutdown. The white flash isn't harmful, and knowing when your device is actually *off* is kinda beneficial.
21:42:01amiconnpreglow: Ahem... the #ifndef I checked is set for nano, grr
21:42:02*Bagder will now start setting the toppost-whiners moderated on the mailing list
21:42:21BigBambiLlorean: I mean the backlight staying on until actual shutdown, not turn off before so that you know when it is really off should remain
21:42:32amiconnpreglow: Sorry, will prepare a new build
21:42:43LloreanBagder: I even tried to be very, very polite this time to the first one. =/

21:44:27LloreanBagder: I understand the "you're interrupting the thread" argument from their point of view. And I could send private emails, but I do see some value in making it public as long as it's polite, to help remind everyone.
21:44:49LloreanBagder: Another option is to just take down names, and once a month have a warning email on rule issues, but I suspect it'd just never get read.
21:45:11amiconnpreglow: Same URL, new build. Sorry again.
21:45:16Bagderyeah, I've thought about monthly posts etc but I think it won't help much

23:14:24peturI only removed set_features in the bootloader code :)

23:19:11FrankOttopetur: are you doing your experiments with running rockbox.iriver from flash (instead of from disk), as n1s suggested some hours ago?
23:19:29peturno, regular bootloader flashing
23:19:49FrankOttoyou are brave...

23:23:15peturhmmmm it works almost
23:23:23amiconnDepends on how "precious" the device is for you...
23:23:42petursometimes I can browse and play music, sometimes it doesn't respond
23:23:43*amiconn would probably do this kind of experiments with his H340, but not with his H180
23:24:09peturI do this on my spare h320 ;)

23:24:36amiconnSpare devices == good :)
23:25:12niikoRockbox lets me flip the screen? I LOVE YOU GUYS!
23:26:28peturamiconn: this is strange: when I tap 'files', the disk icon flashes briefly but it doesn't do anything. Reboot it and it works ok
23:27:02amiconnSeems you experience the occasional hang on cf targets, just more often...
23:27:18*amiconn had one of those just today on his H180
23:28:03pixelmapetur: reboot or "need for a paper clip"?
23:28:20amiconnPaper clip I think
23:28:28peturit stays responsive, just will not browse at all
23:28:39amiconnOh, then that's different
23:28:46petur"spinup time: 0ms"
23:28:51pixelmathat's why I asked ;)
23:29:10peturhmmm IORDY support: no
23:30:23peturhrmm.. now it shows an emnpty root

23:56:22FrankOttopetur: nice to see you making progress :) maybe one has to disable powermgmt all over the place?
23:57:30peturI'm mailing A-Data for a datasheet. The powermanagement bit is on so it should work. I also need better CF or ATA specs...
