#rockbox log for 2008-09-13

00:02:10 Quit bmbl ("Woah!")
00:04:39amiconnThe ipod video seems to be able to support all the standard sample rates (and even non-standard ones), unlike the other ipods
00:07:32XavierGrmarkun: ping
00:07:39funmanmaybe they needed to resample in hardware
00:07:55amiconn?
00:08:31funmansoftware resampling was too demanding
00:08:43amiconnThere is no resampling in hardware going on
00:08:57amiconnThe audio codec used in the video supports all sample rates

01:58:00chris2255hey can somebody told me the correct format and size to have a video that plays smooth in the rockbox i have an ipod of 30gb
01:58:22Unhelpfulwhich ipod is that?
01:58:48TaiWhen I try to install themes to my Sansa through Rockbox it says that www.rockbox-themes.org isn't found~
01:59:03chris2255ipod 30 gb video
01:59:24TaiWhen I try to install themes to my Sansa through Rockbox it says that www.rockbox-themes.org isn't found~
01:59:45mcuelenaereTai: that's normal the theme site is offline
02:00
02:00:06TaiAny solutions? -.-
02:00:06 Quit culture (Success)
02:00:07mcuelenaerethe themes in the wiki work though
02:00:12scorche|shchris2255: does the wiki not say?
02:00:30Unhelpfulchris2255: the video has one of the slowest processors, and relies on a hardware video decoder for video playback in the original firmware. it is best if you use that for video, rather than rockbox.
02:01:04TaiSo it's not gonna screw up my installation? <_<;;
02:01:16chris2255ou
02:01:28scorche|shand what he said...the ipod video devices (amusingly enough) are likely the worst of our devices that use mpegplayer
02:01:30Unhelpfulscorche: the wiki basically says that you'll not even get film framerates, let alone tv ones, on the video.
02:01:31chris2255so you dont suggest it to use it for video
02:01:35chris2255?
02:01:42scorche|shTai: it is a theme...
02:01:43chris2255or to use it for video?
02:01:52scorche|shUnhelpful: unsurprising
02:01:52 Quit Tai (Client Quit)
02:02:04Unhelpfuli suggest you use the apple firmware for video, if you're going to use it for video.
02:02:05scorche|shchris2255: i wouldnt, no
02:02:17chris2255mm ok
02:02:28chris2255and wich ipod is the best for it
02:02:49chris2255using rockbox
02:02:51scorche|shwe support many other devices that are better at video than ipods
02:02:56Unhelpfulchris2255: i don't think any of the ipods are best for video
02:03:04scorche|shi would recommend the gigabeat F
02:03:26 Quit massiveH (Read error: 104 (Connection reset by peer))
02:04:00Unhelpfulthe wiki says gig F as well. gigabeat S can probably do even better, can't it clock up to something really ridiculous for a DAP?
02:04:01chris2255thats horrible because i cant buy one of those in my country
02:04:11scorche|shwhy not?
02:04:28chris2255i dont know
02:04:44chris2255i will try to buy one at amazon
02:04:54scorche|shebay is the suggested place to get one
02:05:28Unhelpfulyou'll probably need to look for one used. it's quite old, and i don't think it's widely available new, anymore.

03:24:02toffe82jhMikeS: back to rockbox :)
03:25:24jhMikeStoffe82: hello there. :)
03:31:41UnhelpfuljhMikeS: things have mostly been working since i modified stop_charger to clear errors unconditionally. think it might be a good idea to add the modified patch to flyspray?
03:32:23toffe82jhMikeS: you don't want to work on the gogear sa9200 ? I propose one for free the other days, just have to buy the special usb cable and noody seems to be interested :)
03:34:00jhMikeSUnhelpful: The main thing is that the errors should be there to protect against restarting without intervention and they should indicate a true problem
03:35:43jhMikeStoffe82: hmmm...is there a wiki page on that one? I feel like a bit flooded atm. If it's a simpler device than an IMX31 perhaps.
03:36:34toffe82jhMikeS: http://www.rockbox.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/GoGearSA9200info
03:36:54toffe82it is similar to the sansa
03:37:20toffe82it has sound but no touchpad, only 4 button working
03:37:40toffe82and the sound is not too good
03:39:17jhMikeStoffe82: hmmm...a partially broken device could make things difficult to work with.
03:39:47UnhelpfuljhMikeS: is there a way, maybe, to test power has one, when the ADC read fails, and not set the error then?
03:39:49toffe82jhMikeS: I was spewaking of rockbox running on the player, the player itself is fine
03:39:51Unhelpfuls/one/gone/
03:41:05Unhelpfuls/test/test if/ also... this is not my most articulate night, apparently.
03:42:01jhMikeSUnhelpful: that would be a serious error condition and not one I would expect that to be the cause of the error. The initial filtering probably detects that the charger is no longer connected and bails out.
03:43:24 Join BHSPitLappy [0] (n=BHSPitLa@unaffiliated/bhspitmonkey)
03:44:20Unhelpfulmy *suspicion* is some sort of race condition between charging_state being set, and the actual non-availability of charging data. but i'm not sure how best to test that :/
03:44:41jhMikeStoffe82: ah...hmmm. I'll certainly accept a freebie and hopefully I'll have time to actually do something.
03:45:21toffe82jhMikeS: I don't have the cable to charge it, you will have to buy it, special connector :(

03:46:03jhMikeSUnhelpful: It does poll the immediate CHGDETS in stat_battery_reading

03:47:07toffe82http://www.gomadic.com/philips-gogear-super-slim-2gb-sa9200-17-coiled-power-hot-sync-charge-charger-usb-cable.html
03:47:09toffe8218$
03:48:22jhMikeStoffe82: that's not too bad I guess
03:48:25UnhelpfulCHGDETS is true on charger present, i'm assuming?
03:48:49jhMikeSUnhelpful: It's high if at least one source is available, yes.
03:49:11toffe82jhMikeS: it's up to you if you want it ;)
03:50:50jhMikeStoffe82: sure, why not? thanks. :)
03:51:38Unhelpfulif i'm reading this condition right, though, getting ADC_READ_ERROR will cause stat_battery_reading to signal failure, even if CHGDETS is false: if (reading == ADC_READ_ERROR || !(mc13783_read(MC13783_INTERRUPT_SENSE0) & MC13783_CHGDETS))
03:52:42toffe82I can send you the one with rockbox installed but I didn't find a way to power it down , so the battery discharge, if not I can send one with the OF fully charged
03:52:50jhMikeSUnhelpful: correct. I wouldn't expect ADC_READ_ERROR to have much chance of happening (in fact it should be almost zero chance). The ADC will read even if the charger isn't connected.
03:54:54UnhelpfuljhMikeS: hrm. is there a debug mechanism available other than LOGF, or is there something special i need to do to use it? i tried to add some debug logging to be able to trace how and where the error condition starts, but calling LOGF crashed rockbox.
03:56:37jhMikeSUnhelpful: not much other than to use splashes or other screen dumping. logf might overflow the stack so you could increase the stack size for whichever thread it's used on.
03:59:01Unhelpfuli was trying to call it from inside charging_algorithm_small_step. not sure which thread that's being called from... if you can say without too much trouble how i'd give it more stack, it'd be a help. if you're too busy, i can go looking myself.
03:59:33jhMikeSUnhelpful: that stuff is called on the power thread in powermgmt.c
04:00
04:00:52jhMikeSincrease power_stack.
04:05:12Unhelpfulthanks. hopefully i can find something useful before i bug you again.

04:23:06Unhelpfulis the FPS shown by the mpeg plugin averaged? it's not really stabilizing much.

04:24:48scorchewould you like to?
04:25:11LloreanLet's wait to find out where the guy on the ML found that site from
04:25:35LloreanMaybe we can find a better contact address first. If not, I'll contact him sometime after the weekend.
04:27:43jhMikeSUnhelpful: The FPS is derived from the total number of frames drawn during the entire duration of playback and grows more accurate as it plays.

09:23:57potato_ok, brb goign to a different computer to compile

09:25:48potato_o sweet
09:26:02Lloreanrobotgeek: By "the FM radio problem", to what exactly do you refer?
09:26:37potato_ok, so what am i lookking out for?
09:26:38robotgeekLlorean: the reception on my fm player is weak, however it works fine from the sansa firmware
09:26:48robotgeekhttp://www.rockbox.org/tracker/task/7562?histring=fm%20radio
09:27:25Lloreanrobotgeek: See, there's a few other issues with it, so saying "the" fm radio problem is very unclear
09:27:46LloreanIs there any chance you could post your patch to the task so that people interested in the problem can actually find it?
09:27:47robotgeekpotato_: if your fm reception is weak with the current firmware, see if it gets better with this one (try picking a weak channel to begin with)
09:28:21robotgeekLlorean: sure, will do. sorry about the ambiguity. just frustrated that I can't test it out myself
09:28:46LloreanDo you have a MicroSD card?
09:28:55potato_yep
09:29:12*Llorean was asking robotgeek
09:29:21potato_my bad xD
09:29:48robotgeekLlorean: yes, i do
09:29:59Lloreanrobotgeek: You could always use that to transfer the new build onto your player.
09:30:39robotgeekLlorean: ah yes, ty. all i need to do is browse to it, and execute the new build, right?
09:31:55Lloreanrobotgeek: I'd recommend actually extracting Rockbox to the card, boot your current Rockbox build, delete the .rockbox folder, copy the .rockbox folder over from the card, then reboot.
09:32:19robotgeekokay
09:32:51LloreanWhile executing the new build *should* work, it'll cause problems with plugins and codecs (which don't matter for a radio test) and it won't persist across reboots (which you may need to do since I'm guessing you're playing with hardware init, haven't looked at the patch yet)

14:35:59mcuelenaereis it possible that lcd-16bit.c access illegal memory addresses?
14:36:05mcuelenaereaccesses*
14:36:38amiconnNot afaik
14:37:11mcuelenaerehmm, but I saw clearpixel(u8 *addr) just sets *addr, could there be some code who feeds it an illegal address?
14:37:28mcuelenaerebecause the MIPS targets almost always gives a TLB exception in this function
14:37:33mcuelenaeretarget*
14:38:01amiconnThose functions are only called from within lcd-16bit.c, and addr always points to an address inside the framebuffer
14:38:15mcuelenaerehmm that's what I thought
14:38:28mcuelenaerecould stack corruption cause this?
14:38:40mcuelenaereor could you think up of something which could cause this?
14:38:57mcuelenaereI've tried several things, but nothing worked
14:38:57amiconnLots of things could
14:39:36amiconnStack corruption, out-of-bounds array accesses even in completely unrelated code, wrong hardware setup, bugs in gcc...

14:41:09mcuelenaereoh yes, and an other (unrelated) question: how come GCC accepts this: void XX(void){ irq = get_irq(); } when irq is not defined?
14:41:37mcuelenaereit didn't differ whether I did 'int irq = get_irq();' or just plain 'irq = get_irq();'
14:42:06amiconnEverything is of type int unless otherwise specified
14:42:16amiconnIt should throw a warning though
14:42:26mcuelenaereit didn't
14:42:44funman-Wall ?
14:42:46mcuelenaerebut this is normal?
14:42:50amiconnThen irq must have been defined somewhere (include file?)
14:42:54mcuelenaerefunman: -Wall is defined in Rockbox
14:43:10mcuelenaereamiconn: that seems most likely
14:43:14funmanmcuelenaere: use cpp instead of gcc, and look for the declaration of irq in the preprocessed
14:43:25funmanit should include file and line where the variable was declared
14:43:26mcuelenaerebut shouldn't it throw an error because it's defined twice?
14:43:38funmanno you can change the scope of a variable when defining it
14:43:50amiconndefined, or declared?
14:44:00funmanint i; while(1){ int i; i = 0; }
14:44:02amiconnThat too
14:44:34funmanhum what's the difference between definition & declaration ?
14:44:43funmandefinition is assignement ?
14:44:47amiconnGcc would throw a warning in that case though "blah shadows global variable bla" (iirc)
14:44:49mcuelenaere#define i and int i ?
14:44:55mcuelenaere@funman
14:45:07amiconndefinition is int i;
14:45:16amiconndeclaration would be 'extern int i;'

14:46:13amiconnFor functons it looks a bit different
14:50:54mcuelenaereI'm trying to set up threading for MIPS targets, but don't really get how load_context() works
14:51:17mcuelenaereI mean, it jumps to start_thread() the first time it is executed, but the second time (when it's NULL), it doesn't change the PC
14:51:39mcuelenaereso how is it supposed to continue thread execution?
14:51:51amiconnIt sure does.
14:52:00amiconnChanging the PC is part of loading the context
14:52:35mcuelenaereyou mean part of load_context() or part of switch_thread()?
14:52:40mcuelenaerebecause I don't see it part of neither
14:53:17mcuelenaeretake for example the ARM targets, they load R4-R11, SP & LR
14:53:19mcuelenaerebut not PC
14:53:35amiconnYes, it loads lr
14:53:51mcuelenaerebut isn't LR loaded from stack in switch_thread()?

15:24:00webguest56hi, i would like to install rockbox on my ipod 5.5g with a bootloader that lets me choose from the original os and rockbox, does anyone know where i can get step by step instructions on how to do this?
15:27:41dionoeadid you check the manual?
15:29:55 Quit culture (Connection timed out)
15:38:23webguest56yes, but it only has instructions on how to install a different bootloader. I want to install rockbox with the bootloader that gives me a graphical interface to choose the os when starting my like the one shown in this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1I-3tkbKX6c
15:39:31amiconnThat's the ipodlinux loader, not supported by us
15:39:32dionoeawebguest56: then you'll have to ask the ipodlinux people
15:39:35dionoeagra
15:40:14amiconnThe rockbox bootloader can also triple boot (rockbox, OF and ipodlinux), but without a menu
15:41:24webguest56i have seen videos with that bootloader with just ipod os and rockbox on it so i thought it might be supported by you
15:42:39dionoeait works but it's not supported in this chan (ie you won't get help about it)
15:43:10dionoeaand the normal rockbox bootloader works just fine

17:24:18amiconngevaerts: That would be a nice first step
17:25:08amiconnYou could also check whether it *basically* records, i.e. the written .wav file has the expected number of samples, and (nearly) silence in it

I mean if I press the menu-button I can hear a click through headphones, but the screen stays black. If I plug the player to usb-cable the blue light turns on, but my computers do not see my player.

21:33:19BigBambiI would suggest leaving it to charge for a good long time first if you haven't already

21:34:30jdillaBigBambi: Would they still be compatible? I'm sorry for my pretty newbie questions. I could also just wait for it to work properly if that would be better and safter for my mp3 player.
21:34:30gevaertsblue light usually means it's in manufacturing mode
21:34:53BigBambijdilla: No, they are out of date and need fixing
21:35:10strawfIf I put the key lock on, press the rec-button and attach the usb cable the blue light will turn on, but no text is printed to the screen and my computers dont see a thing :/
21:35:20BigBambijdilla: You can do that, there is absolutely zero chance of anything getting damaged

22:20:15antgelhi. i run rockbox on an iriver H340. i have weird battery-related behaviour. i'd change it if it wasn't for the intermittency. machine must be 3-4 years old. basically, i charged it overnight last night. when i tried to play it today, rockbox showed 3.2V and immediately quit...
22:21:10 Quit faemir (Remote closed the connection)
22:21:11antgel... i was out for the day, just took it out to debug, didn't plug it in, switched it on, and it showed about 3.6 and started playing (it still is playing, 10 minutes later)...
22:21:28skatteolaWey, my m6sp lit up
22:22:02antgelbut usual voltage post-charge is just over 4, and most of the time when i switch the machine on, rockbox reports maybe 3.8-3.9V.

22:23:03gevaertsskatteola: I guess it won't do much more right now. The SP uses a different touchpad controller than the SL (it shouldn't be too hard to add though)
22:23:03antgelbluebrother: okay, i don't mind changing it, i just don't get why sometimes it's fine, not like a new battery life, but useable and normal
22:23:24amiconnThe battery recovered due to not being in use. With LiIon this is usually a sign of a dying battery
22:23:56antgelamiconn: interesting. okay, i guess it's not a rockbox issue, thanks :)

22:54:18saratoga378.65% realtime and 21.1MHz
22:54:23saratogait was 202% real time
22:54:50*amiconn wonders what it actually needs to put the codec thread on COP
22:55:12amiconnThe codec thread should never access the disk
22:55:21saratogai looked into it briefly and decided that we'd probably be chacing race conditions in the playback engine for a long time if we did
22:55:50saratogabut that was just my uninformed guess
22:56:00*gevaerts reminds saratoga of http://www.rockbox.org/irc/log-20080817#22:12:11 :)
22:56:21saratogabased on how deeply some of the function calls made by the codecs went into buffering.c and playback.c after I took the tiem to trace them
22:56:33saratogaNico_P would be able to say for sure though
22:57:18amiconnWhat would also be interesting is how test_codec figures compare to actual playback
22:57:46saratogagevaerts: yeah I think at a minimum those 2 functions need to be changed, but I think its more difficult then it sounds

22:59:29jhMikeSsaratoga: We shouldn't be chasing them at all and a good restructuring of that code would eliminate it.
23:00
23:00:21saratogaamiconn: without using any EQ, the CPU does not boost and the pcm buffer never falls much below 95% full
23:00:23amiconnThe problem is that it needs someone be stubboprn enough to do the restructuring all the way through
23:00:27saratogai need to test it at 24MHz core clock
23:00:38saratogai doubt it will boost much if at all there either
23:01:08*amiconn recently saw what happens if restructuring is done half-hearted, in rockbox :\
23:01:45saratogajhMikeS: well given my relative knowledge of the playback, buffering, and threading I don't think i'd be much use at it
23:02:20saratogaactually, I could probably multithread the transforms in all the main codecs
23:02:57 Join {phoenix} [0] (n=dirk@p54B45553.dip.t-dialin.net)
23:03:00jhMikeStrying to track down simple bugs is difficult because one particular simple function can be implemented through many code paths
23:03:01saratogait'd be much easier from my point of view, since I already have a good understanding of the various codecs
23:04:09 Quit jhulst ("Konversation terminated!")
23:04:57amiconnHmm, but implementing multithreading in the codecs is going to be more work, and probably not all codecs will allow such a nice balanced split
23:04:58jhMikeSsaratoga: I was thinking about how to structure a small library to help in the development of codecs that may want to split their loads. I suppose a few actually being done that way would help reveal the needed api. It shouldn't have to be a scratch job every time.
23:05:14saratogajhMikeS: is there someway for the preprocessor to determine if mad is being built as a codec or part of mpegplayer?
23:05:36amiconnAnd as soon as some more demanding core tasks are added, the split won't be even anymore
23:06:58jhMikeSsaratoga: I think there is something set for mpegplayer. the makefiles for mpegplayer should have the info.
23:07:06saratogaamiconn: yes thats definately a problem, and I agree that we should we work towards getting more then just the back ends of codecs onto the cop
23:07:23saratogaI looked at the defines, and I didn't see something like -DMPEGPLAYER or whatever, but i'll look again
23:07:31amiconnWe still need a decent resampler. The current one is just crap
23:09:32jhMikeSamiconn: should we retain the fast but lower quality resampler. SPC would probably be unuseable on slower targets without it.
23:09:48saratogajhMikeS: parallelizing the other 3 transform codecs shouldn't be that hard since they now all use the IMDCT library
23:09:55saratogathats a natural place to split them in half
23:10:52saratogathough eventually i want to look into splitting up the SBR parts of AAC+ onto the COP
23:10:57jhMikeSWe have a shared IMDCT library now? Hrm...I've been out of the loop. :)
23:11:02saratogawhich will doubtless be more unpleasant
23:11:17saratogajhMikeS: yeah I wrote it over the summer and committed it right after the feature freeze
23:11:33saratogafor now its just the plain Tremor IMDCT, but theres plenty of room for improvement there
23:12:52jhMikeSwhich codecs can use it?
23:12:54saratogastill, it made a huge difference for WMA and AAC, which did not have the benefit of a fast IMDCT before
23:13:04saratogaWMA, Ogg, AAC
23:13:13saratogaall the ones to which it was applicable
23:13:13jhMikeSNot MPA?
23:13:26saratogaMP3 uses a weird IMDCT size, so it didn't make sense
23:14:05saratogaand anyway, I think Tremor's can only do power of 2 transforms, so the 18 point IMDCT is out
23:15:46jhMikeSsaratoga: line 41 of the makefile does "MPEGPLAYER=1"

23:45:00jhMikeSsaratoga: after patching libmad it breaks mpegplayer?
23:46:32saratogajhMikeS: yes
23:46:56saratogaand if i ifdef out the cop stuff mp3 works fine, but mpegplayer just crashes
23:47:25saratogadoes mpegplayer touch any of the internal libmad stuff?
23:47:31jhMikeSsaratoga: what about patched but on a single core device?
23:47:54jhMikeSsaratoga: no, it uses the library a little more extensively than the audio codec though
23:48:01saratogathats probably it then
23:48:14saratogai bet the circular buffer breaks in mpegplayer
23:48:33jhMikeSwhy would it need that if not split?
23:49:33jhMikeSmpegplayer/audio_thread.c has all the stuff it uses there...mostly stream scanning functionality
23:49:59saratogajhMikeS: because I removed the buffer from the frame struct
23:50:36saratogaso that i could change the pointers between threads
