#rockbox log for 2008-03-04

00:00:13linuxstbmoos: It's described in the patch - there are some outstanding bug reports, plus I'm not really happy with how images were handled (not respecting the viewports, but being drawn globally).
00:01:33mooslinuxstb: sorry was lazy to check myself :), full viewports with multifonts is probably the main patches remaining "against" unofficials builds
00:02:06 Quit MethoS- (Remote closed the connection)
00:02:06gevaertsActually there's one issue left that isn't mentionned on the wiki. If a sansa is plugged in while booting, it goes to usb mode correctly, but the sd card is not initialized yet so that isn't accessible.
00:02:10linuxstbmoos: So people are using viewports rather than the older patches?
00:02:52gevaertsBut as long as there are write problems on sansa, and the bootloader still boots to OF by default, I don't think that's too important
00:03:20 Quit bttb ("leaving")
00:03:20mooslinuxstb: just a guess
00:03:35linuxstbgevaerts: It could be worth adding it to the wiki page - you never know, someone may fix it for you...
00:03:40 Quit Domonoky (Read error: 104 (Connection reset by peer))
00:04:00*gevaerts edits the wiki now
00:05:20*gevaerts tries to think if there are other minor issues
00:06:43gevaertsActually, that's feature. If the sansa is plugged in while booting, there is no write corruption on the sd card :)
00:07:44LloreanHehehe
00:09:33pixelmahmm... the screenshot pngs should probably be renamed to have "context-menu" instead of "file-menu" in it, too
00:10:02barrywardellhave other people reported success with UMS on H10? or is it just me so far?
00:10:26gevaertsThere is still this issue that causes Windows to be annoying when you switch from UMS to serial to charging-only. It remembers what you did last time, and ignores new information. I'll test tomorrow if that can be fixed by adding a digit to the serial number that's used as a bitmap of enabled class drivers
00:10:39 Quit moos ("Buenas noches")
00:11:09gevaertsbarrywardell: amiconn has used it, and he has no signal quality problems with it.
00:13:13amiconnWell, almost
00:14:26amiconnI saw very few resets when having it connected to the front port of my linux box (3 resets while playing a whole album from usb disk)
00:15:05gevaertsCould you try that test again with the OF and the same port ? Maybe it's just due to the port
00:15:18amiconnCompare that to the dozens... hundreds of resets I get by just browsing my mini. Mini on rear port works flawlessly though (and H10 too)
00:15:42amiconnNo problems with OF on any port, H10 and Mini

00:16:39amiconnSame applies to my windows box and connecting to my hub vs. root port. Hub produces errors, root port works
00:16:50amiconnHub works for all OFs
00:17:27gevaertsAnyway, I should be able to get signal testing done tomorrow on my c250, hopefully both on FS and HS. That might provide some hints (and of course if soap manages to get these voltage measurements done, that should give even more hints)
00:18:55*gevaerts hopes to get this solved before his gigabeat f arrives, so he only has to worry about one driver at the same time

00:31:28gevaertsActually I got a mail today from someone who owns two e200s, one of which absolutely refuses to connect to his front ports, while the other does connect to one front port, but not the other; all using the OF. The one that connects has newer firmware (1.02.18P vs 1.02.15P). Back ports work for both. I'm not sure what that implies, but it is interesting
00:32:37 Join midgey [0] (n=tjross@westquad-188-46.reshall.umich.edu)
00:33:05amiconnOut-of-specs front ports, perhaps?
00:33:35amiconnI guess my front ports are noiser than the rear ports, but still within specs (it's a HP business PC...)
00:34:34*amiconn now has a working gamma test plugin
00:35:00*amiconn used it in a sim to test the display gamma of his laptop as a verification
00:35:21gevaertsDon't be too sure of that. I've heard about devices that pass electrical tests perfectly and don't connect to HP front ports, from the people who did the tests.
00:35:43amiconnHP business pc or consumer pc?
00:36:00gevaertsI think both. I'll ask

00:39:01scorche|shlinuxstb: yes...full and absolute control
00:39:20scorche|shwell, short of kernel modules
00:39:40linuxstbI really just mean ssh access so we can run scripts on it?
00:40:00linuxstbAnd build things like checkwps automatically from svn checkouts.

00:42:31linuxstbgevaerts: What are you planning for the gigabeat f?
00:42:32scorche|shlinuxstb: which means i should probably edit the code to use the zip function instead of just exec() (or whichever function i used..)

00:45:43rasherscorche: Latest wpschecker script: http://pastebin.ca/927021 (TOOLSDIR) needs adjustment, obviously
00:47:05linuxstbLlorean: It's not just about a revision history, it's about allowing people to edit/maintain them in a controlled way, and also without needing server access.
00:47:59rasherlinuxstb: I think "upload a new zip on top of the current one" is fine for maintaining a theme, really

01:00:38pixelmaroolku: did you run mktexslr (I think it was called)? (that was necessary for me to make it find the unicode package files)
01:00:54gevaertsI don't know. It seems to ask for mode pages that should be (IIUC) optional, and fails if those are not available.
01:01:03*pixelma should have read further... :)
01:01:09roolkupixelma: yes, that seems to have fixed it :)
01:01:54amiconngevaerts: Is it possible to find out what data a certain device sends for those mode pages?

01:04:14*gevaerts realizes this eject change probably broke SD-card swapping while connected
01:04:55gevaertsamiconn: most OSes ask for page code 0x3f eventually, which means "all supported pages"
01:04:58*amiconn remembers that he did some experiments with a scsi inquiry program on Amiga way back in the past
01:05:39*gevaerts remembers reading about a disk search command in an old scsi spec
01:06:22*amiconn wonders whether he'll manage to dig up that program, and whether it'll work with the usbscsi.device provided by the usb stack
01:07:50*pixelma remembers reading february's IRC stats ;)
01:08:28gevaertsamiconn: on linux you can do "scsiinfo -c /dev/sd<whatever>" to get the caching page, which is the one that macos asks for

01:42:15saratogais it possible to reboot a sansa into rockbox without resetting the CPU?
01:42:42saratogai'm wondering if it would be possible to leave all the OF's register settings in place then boot rockbox
01:42:53saratogawithout clearing them
01:44:04gevaertssaratoga: I doubt it, but I don't really know
01:46:02linuxstbsaratoga: I think you would have to hack the OF somehow to do it - insert some Rockbox code at a known point in the OF to dump the registers to disk... Or the alternative would be something like jtag, but I don't know if the Sansa has that
01:46:34saratogalinuxstb: it does have jtag but thats not what i was thinking
01:46:49amiconnUmm, rockbox doesn't like sg_modes -e
01:46:59saratogasince we can resign the OF after editing it, i was thinking of maybe just branching back to the bootloader after the OF boots

03:39:39 Part keanu ("Leaving")
03:41:26countrymonkeyNo. You would have to reflash the ipod rom and that is dangerous. I see no reason you would want to do such thing, though.
03:42:04shrimantsno reason, really, I was just wondering how to make it load only the rockbox firmware instead of using the bootloader that first has the apple logo and then the rockbox logos.
03:43:15countrymonkeyYou mean you don't want the rockbox logo?
03:43:40shrimantsno i mean i dont want the apple logo. It wasnt really a question of how, it was just a question of if it was possible or not
03:43:44cool_walking_Yeah, it's not possible currently. Rockbox doesn't have it's own UMS mode yet (you can't transfer files from the computer), so you still need the Apple firmware anyway.
03:43:54shrimantsOh, alright
03:44:27shrimantsBut then how does rockbox transfer? Are you supposed to reboot into disk mode in order to transfer music through syncing?
03:44:58countrymonkeyreboot into disk mode and reboot back again.
03:45:15shrimantsah ok, thanks for clearing that up
03:45:17linuxstbThere is working code in SVN for Rockbox's own UMS mode, but it's not enabled yet.
03:45:45linuxstbRockbox currently automatically reboots to Apple's emergency disk mode when you attach to USB, and then it will reboot back to rockbox when you detach.
03:46:01shrimantsIs it not possible to implement something into rockbox that makes it use sometehing like PlaysForSure or simple USB device mode transfering?
03:46:49linuxstb"PlaysForSure" won't happen - no-one wants to implement support for DRM in Rockbox.

03:48:18cool_walking_PlaysForSure isn't a protocol.
03:48:34linuxstbshrimants: But yes, other USB modes are possible - and I've just mentioned that we have a (almost) working UMS mode already
03:48:36cool_walking_It's just a certification that the player works with Windows Media Player
03:49:02shrimantsoh, I did not know that. What was the transfer protocol that windows devices used then?
03:49:08cool_walking_MTP?
03:49:11JdGordon"A helpful friend (carlos tores) translated this patch to spanish for me. Here is the new patch. Beware that even though he is a native spanish speaker, he doesn't know very much about the jukebox world. Additionally, he is a mexican spanish speaker. Here's the patch." i.e not nesacerily the person we want doing the translatino
03:49:12shrimantsyes! that one
03:49:34linuxstbJdGordon: translatino? ;)
03:49:42shrimantsLOL

03:50:45linuxstbshrimants: The transfer protocol is MTP
03:51:00Aloneajust to double check, the wall chargers don't work with the sansa? We have tried and so far no luck. It does not charge the battery.
03:51:25JdGordonit shuold... worst case is you need to use the OF
03:51:35linuxstbAlonea: In Rockbox or the original firmware?
03:51:37shrimantsright, Wouldnt it be possible to implement MTP into rockbox is what my question was. for instance, I dont know how you transfer your files over, but I just copy my "my music" folder over to the HD and rockbox tags it
03:52:01JdGordonshrimants: its possible, but unlikely
03:52:06Alonealinuxstb: rockbox. and if you plug in the charger while the player is off, it loads rockbox in a loop
03:52:13linuxstbshrimants: Yes, it's been mentioned a few times. It's even on the list of possible projects for this year's Google Summer Of Code
03:52:20JdGordonit is?
03:52:24shrimantsneat-o
03:53:10shrimantsDo any of you use an ipod video 30gb with rockbox? if so, how do you manage/transfer your music over?
03:53:24linuxstbI just copy the files over...
03:53:29countrymonkeyWhy does it do that? I noticed that on Jan. 15, 2007, my first ever day of rockbox.
03:54:18Alonealinuxstb: I was looking through the logs and it looks like there is work being done on the usb issues. Does it look like this problem will be fixed sometime soon?
03:54:50countrymonkeyMe too. I have an ipod4g20gb and it is esentially the same.
03:55:02AloneaDad pretty much wants to be able to listen to music, etc. with the charger in like I could on my gigabeat.
03:55:03linuxstbAlonea: I think the effort is concentrated on getting the UMS driver working. I never even knew the Sansas had that problem (I don't own one)
03:55:11JdGordonAlonea: wierd.. are you using a unsupported bootloader? I dont think we ever rebooted on usb on the sansa
03:55:36AloneaJdGordon: not that I know of. Unless a new bootloader has been implemented in the last month.
03:55:49JdGordonnot to my knowledge...
03:55:58countrymonkeybbl. I am having a problem talking on the phone and talking here.
03:55:59JdGordonbut ok, just boot into the OF (hold left)
03:56:04shrimantsHow would you recommend installing rockbox, using the automated installer? or command line?
03:56:12JdGordonAUTOMATED!
03:56:17linuxstbAlonea: When does Rockbox reboot? Immediately on boot, or after while?
03:56:27linuxstbsansapatcher/ipodpatcher!
03:56:29shrimantsalright then, automated it is lol
03:57:19AloneaJdGordon: now, if you put in the usb cable to computer while off, it loads the OF like its supposed to. If you plug in wall charger, it loads the rockbox boot screen, goes black, reboots back to rocobox boot screen in a loop
03:57:41JdGordonwierd
03:58:06AloneaJdGordon: if you plug in wall charger while in rockbox, nothing happens and battery does not charge. if you plug in usb in rockbox, it usually reboots into OF.
03:58:22JdGordone200?
03:58:32AloneaJdGordon: yes. 280 to be exact.
03:58:42JdGordonand your definatly using a supported build?
03:58:51JdGordonI'm sure re otting was never added for sansa
03:58:57Aloneayeah
03:58:59JdGordonbut ill go find my sansa which isnt busy and try it out
03:59:18AloneaI always use rockbox builds. haven't built my own in a lonnnnnng time.
04:00
04:00:24JdGordonoh wow! it did reboot
04:00:27AloneaI meant to mention this a month ago, but I got busy. though I don't know if the loop thing was happening before. its not my player. ^__^
04:00:44AloneaJdGordon: when you plug in the usb cable to compy?
04:00:52JdGordonyeah
04:00:59*JdGordon checks with wall charger
04:01:04AloneaJdGordon: I was told it was supposed to.
04:01:47Aloneasince there isn't usb in rockbox support yet. (*sniffles*)
04:03:05JdGordonnup, wall charger appears to work fine
04:03:09JdGordonnot rebooting and looping
04:03:26Aloneahmm...using latest version?
04:03:39JdGordonnope
04:04:21*JdGordon will try svn shortly.. running between 3 comps atm
04:04:26Aloneaits ok.
04:04:50Aloneaso your charger actually charges your player? while in rockbox? or only in OF?
04:05:15Aloneawhen you plug in your charger, does it load OF or rockbox?

04:11:18JdGordonit loads rockbox and says its charging
04:12:53shrimantswoah the automated installer has come a LONG way since i installed rockbox last
04:13:30Aloneaodd. I will try again in a sec. I bought the charger that the reviews said didn't break within a week and didn't have any problems. give me a sec to tell you the brand.
04:14:33JdGordonI'm using some generic usb charger
04:14:53countrymonkeyI am wondering: I have an aa quickcharger and a minib-to-ipod tip adapter. How does rb fair with those?
04:14:56Aloneaok, its a belkin.
04:16:44AloneaJdGordon: where would it say "chargin" for rockbox?
04:16:56countrymonkey,In the rockbox info screen.
04:16:58JdGordonin the statusbar
04:17:08Aloneawhat theme?
04:17:31JdGordonany theeme.. just enable the statusbar
04:17:37JdGordonthe battery icno will change
04:18:02countrymonkeyicon
04:18:07Aloneaeh, its hard to tell since the battery is currently full.
04:20:37Aloneaok, i am using cabbie, and the battery thing has no animation or anything
04:20:45Aloneaneither did cassette.
04:21:54Aloneaoh!
04:22:03Aloneathere it goes!
04:22:39AloneaI gues the update fixed it (as for why it did not work a second ago I am using one of the plugs on a box and I forgot that one was bad
04:23:25AloneaI guess I will see if after a while, the green is all the way and double check in OF.

04:27:35Davide-NYCCan you consistently reproduce the bug?
04:27:44Isolinearlol...
04:27:52IsolinearWell it consistently happens over and over again.
04:28:23IsolinearBut it occurs at seemingly random intervals, no telling when or how often it'll happen, nor what triggers it.
04:28:36Davide-NYCBug reports go on the tracker. I think you can attach files there.
04:28:49IsolinearThat's why I took the recording, as the noises it makes are quite distinctive.
04:29:02IsolinearAh really? So a 3MB .wav file is no problem then?
04:29:12Davide-NYCYup, on the tracker it goes. (attachment max 2MB)
04:29:17IsolinearOuch.
04:29:22Davide-NYCcut it down to just the relevant portion.
04:29:31countrymonkey.zip it up.
04:29:36Davide-NYCtrue
04:29:40AloneaJdGordon: so I will check some more on this charging thing and double check it works. lemme see if the loop thing still happens
04:29:48Davide-NYCI know it is not my place to question the devs, but I am wondering why the unfinished projects from last years GSoC aren't on this years wiki page?
04:30:04saratogaDavide-NYC: you're welcome to add them

04:30:39Davide-NYCMy opinion is GSoc2008 should focum on a 3.0 release
04:30:48saratogathats not really possible
04:31:01IsolinearBtw, to whomever is responsible for homepage site design, the little icons on the left next to all the links, as well as including the revision number for each source code update are very welcom improvements. :)

04:31:13*Davide-NYC agreed
04:31:17saratogareleases take basically everyone working on them
04:31:29Davide-NYCsaratoga: I know, but pieces could be targeted, no?
04:31:35Aloneaok, JdGordon, I misread the loop thing. This is what is happening. When the player is OFF and I plug in the wall charger, the sandisk logo comes up, the rockbox screen comes up, and it just stops. the black is the backlight going off.
04:31:50saratogawell yes you could pick a piece and work on it, but i doubt fixing any one thing is going to move much closer to a 3.0 release
04:32:09Davide-NYCFor the iRiver H1x0 series we are extremely close IMO./

04:42:10Davide-NYCYes, which is why I'm asking. I may be unclear as to what should and shoudl not be included in GSoC.
04:42:55saratogawell it has to be something that could reasonably be done by a student interested in the project
04:43:16saratogathings that are already in an advanced state of development and likely to go into rockbox before GSOC begins are not good choices
04:43:35Davide-NYCwhat about APE optimization?
04:43:42saratogaideally it should be things that would take a students roughly the summer to complete and do not involve learning massive amounts about other people's code
