#rockbox log for 2009-03-29

00:00:02saratogai think thats pretty typical, that way you don't make each codec specific to one container [though in rockbox each codec is specific to a container anyway]
00:01:54MTI see .. by the way, I won't be able to work on the demuxer till ~10th of april because of my mid-terms :(
00:02:41MTI told linuxstb. Just thought I should tell you too.
00:02:48saratogaMT: thats fine, i don't think the project is meant to begin until may anyway
00:02:52scorcheis that in your application?
00:03:16saratogawere you working on this before you became interested in GSOC?
00:03:52scorcheMT: accepted student proposals are listed on the 20th, so... ;)
00:04:33MTscorche : no I didn't include this in the application, because the plan I wrote there was meant to start on May 23rd anyway ..
00:04:48scorcheMT: yeah...that is fine =)
00:06:17MTsaratoga : not for a long time before gsoc though :)
00:08:02MTscorche : we have a fest here in Egypt on the 20th (it's a holiday too ) so I hope it ends well :D

04:20:23dreamlayersTwo people who have encountered FS #9926 think that the bug should be in 3.2 release notes. (On Color and Photo iPods, System -> Rockbox Info always says battery is charging)
04:21:07***Saving seen data "./dancer.seen"
04:22:09rasherThe Known Bugs section of the release notes didn't really get much attention. I'm not sure if that particular bug is worthy of getting in there though?
04:23:32dreamlayersI also have a patch there. It accesses an unknown PP5020 register. Based on what I saw in the OF, 0x70000088 may be an input for GPO32 bits. The OF first writes a zero word and then reads the word to test the bit.
04:24:42rasherHonestly, I'm not sure who you'd want to talk to for this kind of stuff. I seem to remember Buschel doing some PP related power stuff
04:25:19rasherIt's not the most active time of the week, middle of saturday night in Europe
04:26:01dreamlayersYeah, I don't really know if it's worthy of getting in there. I rarely even look at that screen. I just thought I should bring it up because two people asked.

04:26:57dreamlayersFS #10051 is a duplicate of the same bug.
04:27:10rasherdreamlayers: Is charging broken in any significant way, or is it just that screen showing wrong info?
04:28:31 Join JustKemp [0] (n=matt@d58-110-133-67.bla3.nsw.optusnet.com.au)
04:28:48dreamlayersCharging from USB is probably broken, but that's unrelated. This is just the issue of reading the wrong bit and displaying status incorreclty there.
04:29:19dreamlayersThanks for taking care of the duplicate.
04:29:50rasherThat doesn't seem release-note worthy. Broken charging does, but is that FS #8802?

04:43:42dreamlayersFrom the point of view of USB power hardware, it doesn't matter whether there is a USB connection or whether it's a USB charger or a USB port. Software has to see what's connected and respond accordingly.
04:46:06 Quit XavierGr ()
04:47:03dreamlayersActually, there is one difference: firmware in flash should enable charging if it sees a supported USB charger at power-on.
04:53:16rasherHonestly I'm not qualified to discuss, it just seemed one task concerned the Rockbox USB stack not requesting 500mA power, and the other is completely failing to charge from AC adapters
04:59:06dreamlayersOkay, I'll bring this up another time when more people are around. (Rockbox already requests 500 mA, but a request doesn't change how much current the device uses. It just makes sure that the requested current is available.)

05:18:45LambdaCalculus37dreamlayers: Question about your work on FS #9787 and FS #9890... since you seem to have an idea of how to talk to the BCM chip in the iPod video, do you believe that we may be able to utilize it at some point in the future?

05:19:43ufomanyea I probably had some problem with disk read
05:20:13LambdaCalculus37ufoman: Better make sure the disk is in good shape and not going south.
05:20:45ufomanit was stopping playback for like 500msec and retrying
05:21:09ufomanI could not feel that it was actively reading data
05:21:33dreamlayersLambdaCalculus37: I think figuring out more about the BCM will be difficult. The firmware in osos is very complex, and a bunch of threads are devoted to the BCM.
05:21:54ufomanLambdaCalculus37: I'll do it. I hope I won't have to hunt for MK4007GAL anytime soon...
05:22:42saratogawithout a compiler i'm not sure what good the BCM chip would be, aside maybe for color space conversion if it can do that in hardware
05:23:29dreamlayersCould we use the BCM firmware from the resource partition?
05:23:44LambdaCalculus37dreamlayers: Not sure if it's possible.
05:23:59LambdaCalculus37But we could pick it apart to see how it works, perhaps.
05:24:12saratogadreamlayers: you mean like the decoder on HWCODEC?
05:25:44dreamlayersYeah... I guess the situations are simillar
05:26:27dreamlayersRockbox is already using BCM firmware from the vmcs part of the flash.

07:47:45Lloreankugel: We should be discussing this here, where it's logged
07:48:16LloreanRockbox as an app should, where possible ,strive to us the UI widgets appropriate to the OS it's running on. That means, for example, file browsing should not use our list. It should use a more "standard" file browser widget for the OS it's on
07:49:00LloreanPreserving "the list" for menus and files just makes the UI less appropriate for normal use. It's used now because it's the best we can do where we are, and not something we should force on users when a better option can be made available
07:49:07kugelwhy should it not use our lists?
07:49:18LloreanBecause they're _worse_ to use than other options
07:49:34kugelif you can click on a list item with the mouse? that's just fine, using actual rockbox
07:49:40kugelreally, I
07:49:58kugelI'm saying using only codecs and plugins wouldn't satisfy me

07:51:39LloreanYou're saying our menus aren't restrictive, that's an example where they are.
07:51:48kugelthere
07:51:51LloreanOur menu structure doesn't allow quick movement from one part of the menus to another
07:52:15kugelthere's always the way of having "standard menus" or even shortcuts for stuff like tools
07:52:31LloreanI thought you wanted to preserve the list for menus
07:52:57kugelif rockbox-as-an-app means doing a new media player I'm certainly not interested in it, and just fgo with some random mpd client or amarok/rhytmbox
07:53:24LloreanSo basically, "if I can't have my restrictive UI, I don't want to use it"?
07:54:03kugelLlorean: using rockbox lists where it makes sense to use lists at all. if a list is totally unsuited, than use what can be solved better by using native widgets
07:54:17LloreanThat's *everything* then
07:54:26LloreanThere's nowhere that a Rockbox list is more suited.
07:54:30kugelyou're equaling rockbox ui with restricting, which I don't
07:54:45LloreanThe Rockbox UI would be restricting to someone expecting an actual PC application
07:55:25kugelthe whole windows explorer is a list, with just some file/edit/etc menus too. That's what raap can do too
07:55:50kugelI don't want just a pcc app. I want ROCKBOX as a pc app
07:55:55LloreanWindows explorer is not just a list
07:56:06LloreanIt also has a second list to the left showing parallel folders
07:56:12LloreanIt has a selection of other things as well.
07:56:21kugelthat's the whole point of doing the project under the name of rockbox
07:57:09kugelwhat pieces of rockbox are you expecting to still be active in raap?
07:57:44LloreanCodec support, playlisting functionaliy, themable playback screen, settings and options. Basically the actual *features* rather than the UI.
07:58:35kugel90% of which isn't unique at all
07:58:49LloreanSo we should keep unique things even if they're bad or restrictive?
07:59:01LloreanClearly we should then keep our buffering the way it is. It's definitely unique for a PC player.
07:59:16kugelagain, I don't think there's any restriction
07:59:35LloreanYou honestly think our file browser can let you see the collection on your player, and access them, as quickly as Windows Explorer / Nautilus / Whatever?
07:59:59kugelbut it's rally hard to descirbe how I'm imagening raap. And again, there's just about everyone having a (at least slightly) different expectation
08:00
08:00:06LloreanIt's a yes/no question.
08:00:36kugelour list code is used much more than just in the file or database browser
08:00:43LloreanIt's a yes/no question.
08:00:59kugelNo, then
08:01:23LloreanSo then you agree there is some degree of restriction.
08:01:49kugelThe windows explorer might be perfect for selecting files. But our list code is also responsible for browsing plugins, settings, the playlist and more
08:01:51 Quit fyrestorm ("ChatZilla 0.9.84 [Firefox 3.1b3/20090305152042]")
08:02:18LloreanThe settings can be accessed via a more standard menu structure for the native OS (again, less restrictive than our list)
08:02:42LloreanThe playlist can be shown in a list, sure. Probably extended from our own (for example, on PCs the 'context' menu should be on right click)
08:02:56kugelI'm nor particularly interested in using OS apis where possible. Only where it makes sense
08:03:07kugeland where it makes it worth leaving the rockbox path
08:03:15LloreanThey should be used anywhere it increases usability.
08:03:39kugelwhich seems to be everywhere for you
08:03:53LloreanWell, you agree for the file browser.
08:04:02LloreanAnd you refused to answer my question about hopping quickly from one menu tree to another
08:04:22LloreanThe database browser is the same case as the file browser.
08:04:26kugelhow's raap rockbox, if a user cannot recognize rockbox on his player and rockbox on his windows?
08:04:27LloreanAnd I've yielded on Playlists.
08:04:30LloreanWhere else, really, is there?
08:05:01LloreanPlugins are a separate can of worms anyway
08:05:24kugelwell, if you want native OS function, then install a codec pac, srs wow, use windows media player and be happy
08:05:26kugelthat
08:05:28kugelthat
08:05:41kugelthat's what I want from raap
08:05:42Lloreankugel: RaaP's point is to make it easier to use native UI widgets. Separate the code out, and compile with them, so that it's easier to make targets use them. So that, for example, on smartphones where more of our UI needs to be preserved for usability it's easier to adapt
08:05:47LloreanRaaP is NOT just for PC apps
08:06:52kugel"RaaP's point is to make it easier to use native UI widgets" I disagree. It's porting rockbox to x86/amd64 to be an actual (and usable) pc app
08:07:01JustKempwhat is raap?
08:07:03LloreanAnd it will be.
08:07:20Lloreankugel: The point is for other devices. But if the PC app is usable, that's fine. You want to make it LESS usable.
08:07:22LloreanWhich is silly
08:07:28LloreanJustKemp: Rockbox as an App
08:07:36kugelas I said, your expectation seems to be only have codecs (and some dsp features) avalailable on the desktop to me
08:07:40JustKempkool
08:07:54Lloreankugel: And your expectation is to intentionally restrict users to preserve a look.
08:08:02kugelfine
08:08:09LloreanYou've admitted your way is more restrictive.
08:08:24kugelI've discussed enough. your arguments get pointless
08:08:36 Join wangxiang_ [0] (n=wangxian@203.86.76.219)
08:09:14LloreanBy "pointless" I assume you mean "I can't actually tell you where the list will offer more functionality than a native widget, so I'm going to get vague again"?
08:10:04kugelwhatever, I'm done. This is not going to get anywhere if you're repeatedly claiming I want to restrict users
08:10:06LloreanI mean, I do assume if you had more reason than "It should look like Rockbox" you'd have offered it by now.
08:10:15Lloreankugel: You've admitted your way would be more restrictive
08:10:22LloreanDo you deny that admission, just a few lines ago, now or something?
08:10:28kugelno
08:10:38LloreanSo why do you say "claiming" when it's true?
08:10:42LloreanBy your own admission
08:10:48kugelI said it may be more restrive in terms of browsing for music. That's all
08:10:59kugelrockbox is more than just abour browsing for music
08:11:01LloreanTell me how it would be less restrictive for menus, then. Or database.
08:11:19LloreanBecause those are the three places I've said we should use native widgets so far, and you've disagreed with me.
08:11:22LloreanSo surely you can point out how.

08:12:00JustKempok, imm not very IT handy. but here goes. rockbox can be installed on selected mp3 players, to basically give them a new theme/watever . am i right??????
08:12:09kugelsure, now you've only apply your arguments for browsing. I'm sorry I've missed that early and thought you want OS widgets everywhere
08:12:19LloreanJustKemp: It's not a theme. it's a wide range of features, replacing the host firmware entirely when running
08:12:32scorcheJustKemp: rockbox is a complete replacement firmware...not just a theme...check out the WhyRockbox wiki page
08:12:33Lloreankugel: I want OS widgets *where they expand or ease functionality*
08:12:39Lloreankugel: How would you have an OS widget for the WPS?
08:12:39JustKempbut it looks just like a different theme?
08:12:53LloreanJustKemp: What do you mean by that?
08:13:13 Join Rob2223 [0] (n=Miranda@p4FDCD1D7.dip.t-dialin.net)
08:13:13JustKempnevr mind. i'll just read the page
08:14:27Lloreankugel: I don't want to remove any features, but I don't see "limited list-based browsing" as a feature so much as a limiting factor imposed by the inputs available to us on most players.
08:15:11JustKempok i think i get it......... so its like how most laptops come with vista, but a linux can be installed instead.
08:15:54JustKempis that right?
08:15:56LloreanJustKemp: Something like that, only there aren't many players you can put Rockbox on. The list isn't short, but it's definite. If your player isn't on the list, Rockbox needs to be ported first.
08:16:06LloreanAnd that's an awful lot of work
08:17:09JustKempthats still pretty kool
08:17:46kugelLlorean: for raap, I'd e.g. expect to have click on a "play" icon actually do something. which would also apply to touchscreen
08:18:22Lloreankugel: This is something common to most PC-side audio players anyway
08:18:41LloreanThe WPS would probably always be visible, and the Play/Pause/Stop button would toggle basic playback state.
08:18:47LloreanThere's already plans to do this for touchscreen
08:19:00kugelbut actually, I'm kinda doubting you get me entirely, I and I also doubt that I get you entirely. I'm just too tired for an in-depth discussion right now.

09:49:28LloreanThat doesn't change the fact that it's a goal.

09:52:11JdGordonscreens arnt drawn as collections of widgets like "real" OS's expect
09:52:23LloreanMost screens won't even exist any more.
09:52:24JdGordonapart from the list view... everything is custom
09:52:34LloreanIt's the list that I'm mainly talking about
09:52:39Llorean90% of User Input is the list.
09:52:46JdGordonthen whats the point? you're takeing a below standard playback engine and tacking on a custom frontend?
09:52:47LloreanOr just next/prev on the WPS etc

09:53:33JdGordon? its not rockbox as an app anymore... its a new ui for rockbox's cruddy playback engine

09:55:50LloreanIf you can't define what Rockbox is, you can't say "your idea is less Rockbox than mine" justifiably.

09:57:59JdGordonwho ever said anything about making it better? since when is that a goal
09:58:32LloreanWhat the is the point of making Rockbox as an app, if we're not trying to make it good?
09:59:10JdGordon1) to get it on more targets, 2) some people actually dont mind using the sim as their audio player

09:59:18Llorean1) We don't get targets where we're not good.
09:59:55LloreanIf I had to navigate the list menus of Rockbox to use it on my phone, I probably just wouldn't use it on my phone, ever.
10:00
10:00:21LloreanThere's no reason to restrict it to that solely for the purpose of restricting it to that.
10:00:40LloreanAnd if the sim is good enough to use on a PC, why don't we just use the sim as Rockbox as an App?
10:01:50LloreanSo again I ask - why is it beneficial to restrict the UI like this?
10:02:40JdGordoni ask again, why are you argunign stupid side things? I never said anything about restricting it.. I just said that the goal was very unlikely
10:02:57LloreanYou said it's not Rockbox as an app if we do it.
10:03:15LloreanSo, you're against it for Rockbox as an app
10:03:28LloreanSo yes, you said we shouldn't do it.
10:04:18JdGordonright, then why dont you open up a text editor and get to it? apparently you know how everything must be done and the likes of us who actually code dont...
10:04:44amiconnImo the whole rockbox-as-an-app idea is weird
10:04:49LloreanJdGordon: Right, don't actually argue the points do you.
10:05:00LloreanJdGordon: "Oh look, he caught me in a contradiction, let's change topics."
10:05:08LloreanIf you don't want to actually defend what you say, don't bother to say it.
10:05:20LloreanBut for heaven's sake, if you actually say something, own up to it.
10:05:27LloreanEither defend it, or say "No, I didn't mean it like that. Sorry for being unclear."
10:05:39lucentplease take this to privmsg
10:05:42amiconnIf you take rockbox as-is (i.e. similar to the sim) it would be a pita to use, but if you change the UI, what difference to other pc based audio players remains?
10:06:08Lloreanamiconn: Database compatibility, format support, probably the ability to use most player-specific themes.
10:06:25JdGordonLlorean: you're the one reading way too much into what I've said...
10:06:27Lloreanamiconn: Not to mention, RB as an app isn't just for PCs. Smartphones and PDAs too
10:06:35amiconnThe themes are an UI thing - if you change the UI the themes won't be compatible anymore
10:06:39LloreanJdGordon: How so. You're the one not defending his points, and changing the subject.
10:07:05Lloreanamiconn: The main UI changes would be to the list. The WPS wouldn't necessarily have much to change, and 99% of themes is the WPS
10:07:10amiconnAnd other pc apps have the same, if not better, format support
10:07:18JdGordonI never read his points... so why should i go defedning them? i'm just saying changing the ui is pointless
10:07:18Lloreanamiconn: Again, not just PC apps.
10:07:26LloreanJdGordon: I said you need to defend YOUR POINTS
10:07:32LloreanHow the heck is this "his?"
10:07:34JdGordonno, you said his
10:07:57LloreanJdGordon: Quote me the "his" then?
10:08:02LloreanThe only "he" I used refers to me.

10:08:06*amiconn tends to ignore smartphones and pdas
10:08:14JdGordon[01:06:47] <Llorean> JdGordon: How so. You're the one not defending his points
10:08:36amiconnLlorean: The WPS would also need changing at least for a pc app. I'd want clickable buttons for prev/next/pause/stop...
10:08:40LloreanJdGordon: Yes, YOUR points
10:08:52LloreanJdGordon: "You're the one not defending his points." The pronoun obviously refers to you in that sentence.
10:08:54JdGordonbecause your and his magically mean the same thing now?

10:16:34LloreanJdGordon: If you didn't mean it, feel free to take responsibility and say something like "I didn't mean 'It wouldn't be Rockbox as an app if we changed the UI'"
10:16:43amiconnLlorean: I mean the database differs in content, depending on what audio tracks are stored on the device
10:17:08scorchecan we just stop all "i _______; you ______" comments and stick to the technical aspects?
10:17:28JdGordonheaven forbid... Llorean doesnt know the technical difficulties
10:17:33Lloreanscorche: Well right now, he's got two contradictory technical arguments, and I don't know which one's his actual point - the things he said or the other things he said
10:17:34amiconnDifferent endianess is handled by the db engine (and I still think this is unnecessary)
10:17:47JdGordonLlorean: i never said it wouldnt be rockbox without it... i said it would be a pointless excersize

10:37:24LloreanIt would be rather silly to use a pronoun to refer to a person paragraphs ealier.
10:37:42markunperhaps, but I still read it as such

11:00:44scorcheJustKemp: this channel is about rockbox and rockbox only...if you are looking for something else, perhaps it might be ebtter if you looked elsewhere..
11:01:01JustKempim not looking for anything else
11:01:07JustKempi was just wondering is all
11:01:41LloreanJustKemp: The website should explain most of it. Including the list of what it runs on
11:02:56JustKempthe website does explain most of it. and im not looking elsewhere for anything. i am simply wondering if there are such programs for phones. i figure u might know
11:03:18n1spixelma: is it teh keymap or the manual that is wrong? (http://forums.rockbox.org/index.php?topic=21140.0)
11:04:00LloreanJustKemp: That would be "something else" as scorche said then.
11:05:40JustKempIM NOT LOOKING. IM NOT INTERESTED IN LOOKING. I FIGURE THAT PEOPLE WHO ARE ON THIS CHAT ROOM MIGHT NO IF THERE IS/ISNT SUCH THING FOR PHONES
11:05:48JustKempor was that too harsh?
11:06:55pixelman1s: the manual should be correct and I think the virtual keyboard too but I'm not sure - that's a part where I use a patch...
11:07:33n1spixelma: they don't match, deleting a char is doen with rec+down but the manual says rec + select

11:15:49n1si think your keymap for the vk is much better, i'd say commit :)
11:16:28pixelmaoh, and the version I use currently doesn't have a page flip in favour of short select for quit - maybe there could be a button combo open for page flip?
11:17:02n1syeah, page flip is not as important as exiting so i like that
11:17:31pixelmaI also thought of finding a button combo for enabling morse mode but didn't actually try yet

11:18:21n1show about rec+select or rec+power to toggle Morse mode?
11:20:01JustKemprockbox is a great thing. one of the greatest things. it would be a shame if there was another program on a completely different product (for example, phone) that could potentially ruin the potential of rockbox. what would the estimated threat of that be, do you reckon?
11:20:01pixelmanthe other part of that patch I still use is resume but since it "disables" the possibility to adjust volume in the lists I'm not sure how other see it (to me a one button resume is much more important)
11:20:27pixelman1s: need to try
11:22:04pixelman1s: are simple button repeats (of Rec) still possible then? I find it quite convenient for deleting a longer part of the line but know that this isn't done on some other targets either

11:24:02LloreanJustKemp: In the manual.
11:24:14pixelman1s: I'll play around with it after lunch
11:24:20n1sotherwise maybe vol u/down + select or power could work to toggle Morse
11:24:25JustKempthanx
11:24:40n1spixelma: great :)
11:24:43LloreanJustKemp: Please don't use things like "thanx" or the "u" earlier in here. There are IrcGuidelines linked in the channel topic.
11:24:49scorcheJustKemp: due to the themeability of rockbox though, keep in mind that many screens can look a bit different...
11:25:37JustKempdefine thermeability
11:25:43pixelman1s: what do you think about resume on VolUp in the menus/browsers?
11:25:47scorcheability to be themed
11:26:00scorche- to have the look changed by themes
11:26:13JustKempoh. Thank you kind sir/madam.
11:26:30n1spixelma: that sounds rather strange to me but i dont' really use volume in lists or resume that often...
11:27:03n1sshort power could resume maybe?
11:27:20pixelmashort power is used to bring up the menu
11:27:48n1sah, ritght, darned lack of good buttons
11:30:04JustKempGSoC2009 ???
11:30:17n1sGSoC2009 !!!
11:30:29pixelma*I* could also imagine to use short Select for resuming and having Select and context menu on Right/long Right only. But that's because it's similar on Ondio... (Right and Select are redundant on other targets though)
11:30:43JustKempnls:?
11:31:07Lloreanpixelma: Could long-right be resume maybe?
11:31:23n1spixelma: that's a possiblility
11:31:26linuxstbJustKemp: Just ask google.
11:31:28LloreanIt's a little odd, but it's also a "press" people almostn ever use otherwise
11:31:37JustKemptoo much trouble
11:31:40LloreanWhereas some people are going to expect center to be select.

11:32:13Lloreann1s: You use long-right, or you have a question?
11:32:21pixelmaLlorean: well, if you can do without forced horizontal scrolling... I definitely could
11:32:24JustKempis everybody here developers?
11:32:38n1sI expect select to be the center butt, sorry for the unclarity :)
11:32:41Lloreanpixelma: I'd say "resume playback" trumps that. maybe we could put forced scrolling on a combination of some sort.
11:32:48n1sbuftton*
11:32:52*n1s gives up
11:33:03LloreanJustKemp: No, but many are.
11:34:03pixelmaLlorean: it is a combo on Ondio and this way it could be scrapped completely IMO - I never use it but never saw a need to
11:34:16pixelmaof course it could
11:34:28LloreanI use it on my H120 for one of my folders
11:35:14LloreanBut I think it's moderately nonessential relative to getting more core functionality mapped well
11:36:41pixelmanext after lunch project - I'll try to get the virtual keyboard part commitable and try to post a patch for resume and the other thing that I use which deviates from SVN (long Select for the WPS context menu)
11:37:02*Llorean personally thinks Long Select being context menus wherever possible is important
11:37:27LloreanSomehow it feels like "Right click" on the PC, just something I "expect" to be there. I know it's something Rockbox trained into me, but it begins to feel very natural
11:37:33pixelmaLlorean: you already have experience commiting a change for WPS context menu ;)
11:38:20Lloreanpixelma: I try to only commit keymap changes people *won't* like. It's no fun if it actually improves things. :-P

12:20:54n1sLlorean: yeah, that's a bit backwards, they got the volu up/down right though, they feel backwards on the c200 for me
12:21:06n1sAleMaxx: is it listed on the frontpage?

12:21:58Llorean n1s: On the c200 they're "left/right" instead of "up/down" and I guess that's why they're different.
12:22:02AleMaxxn1s: i dont see a list on the frontpage but its mostly listed by player and not cpu anyway
12:22:10LloreanIn both cases it's a matter of taste, but I do think "up" on volume and "next" on tracks should be the same direction

12:25:21LloreanAleMaxx: We're not psychic.
12:25:32AleMaxxbut youre right, displays and keyboard layout may change
12:25:37LloreanIf you ask if something's supported, and the only thing we ever claim supporting is specific players, we can't really know you're asking about something other than a player
12:26:14AleMaxxLlorean, well, to be honest Im pretty sure its not supported
12:26:27LloreanIt's not.
12:26:43LloreanOr rather, no player using it is.
12:27:17AleMaxxLlorean are you a developer?
12:27:19LloreanFor example, we support a few players using PP5020 SoCs, but there are others that use it we don't support. There's no requirement that firmware be encrypted or stored the same way for a given SoC, often, so even if we did support some players with it, that's not really indicative of the potential for supporting others.
12:27:53LloreanAleMaxx: Not often.
12:28:25AleMaxxwell, ive been doing some research on rk270x players recently and i do own one
12:29:40AleMaxxthere is a partial sdk available to mympxplayer.org and im confident that i can include my own code into the players firmware but that i fear that its quite dangerous
12:30:36AleMaxxLlorean, is rockbox easy to port?
12:30:55AleMaxxis there a svn/cvs with web interface?
12:31:06Lloreanhttp://svn.rockbox.org/viewvc.cgi/
12:31:35LloreanRockbox is a full replacement firmware. How easy / difficult it is to port would depend a lot on your experience in the related areas. It's not just an application you run inside another firmware.

14:46:11BdN3504on that wiki there's a link fo the flashwriter on flyspray

14:53:40BdN3504hm, but there are many major rockbox hackers who are interested in this task (kkurbjun, saratoga, chronon and bigbambi) who are quite often online in this channel, so i thought chances be good to get a helpful answer here.

15:04:53amiconnNow we'd need a real fix...
15:06:27kugelamiconn: I didn't remove the yield, I moved it into the while loop
15:06:50amiconnThe yield in that while loop is wrong, btw
15:07:06amiconnThe loop already yields; further yields only disturb timing
15:07:16amiconnI've commented that one out
15:07:55kugelthe loop already yields?

15:08:37kugeljust by being a loop?

15:09:54kugeloh
15:10:13amiconnYeah, the yield you moved had the same problem
15:10:20kugelamiconn: the yield thing wasn't really a change though. it was in gui_wps_display before, which was always called on timeout
15:10:21amiconnIt shouldn't have been there
15:10:46amiconnIt seems that patch uncovered various problems elsewhere...
15:13:14kugelamiconn: well, it wouldn't be a bad fix I think. the wps is pretty much supposed to die without id3

15:14:30kugelhm, true

15:32:08pixelmanot sure if morse mode makes much sense on the c200 - the table with the code doesn't fit completely on the screen and I'm not sure I'm doing something wrong in defining the actual morse button but I can't figure out how to use it (never used it as my other targets don't have it either, will look at a sim now)

15:34:55amiconnkugel: Do you have an idea why in gui_wps_show() the wps is redrawn once before the while loop? This initial redraw protects the calls to gui_wps_display() with a check for valid id3
15:35:38amiconnThe whole thing seems unnecessary to me. Instead it might be a good idea to wait a certain amount of time for the id3 to become available.
15:38:49Unhelpfulpixelma: not sure if you saw, the reason i used long off for quit on ondio was due to short off being mapped to cancel in CONTEXT_STD. i guess the real problem is knowing how many users actually use these alternate cancel mappings - quite a few other targets use this same one, even though the power button isn't very convenient while operating the directional controls
15:39:23amiconnOtoh, checking for valid id3 as an indication for playback sounds very wrong.
15:39:33kugelamiconn: no, I don't really have an idea. I just know that id3 is immediately available on swcodec swcodec. That was before my change too though
15:39:51 Join wangxiang [0] (n=wangxian@203.86.76.219)
15:40:25amiconnkugel: It is, but that seems to be just a coincidence. Swcodec playback is handled by a separate thread the same way as it is on hwcodec, and the start is asynchronous
15:41:15pixelmaUnhelpful: I guess that on the Ondio no one really uses this - the Off button is quite a bit away from the main button pad but maybe it was done this way to stay consistent with the short/long Off for Pause/Stop?
15:43:50Unhelpfulhrm, perhaps at least *some* of the targets with that mapping should just use short off for quit? cancel in the album list is a quit, anyway, so the real question is "will the user expect this button to take them back to the album list from the track list?"
15:44:27pixelmaah, it's a history thing - when "left" wasn't cancel but "accept and leave"... *I* got used to it now though, others don't
15:46:26amiconnkugel: I think the wps should exit depending on audio status, not depending on id3 availability
15:51:31kugelsounds reasonable
15:52:08Unhelpfulso, you don't think changing it would surprise too many users?
15:52:41amiconnThe question is what the wps should do when audio is playing but id3 isn't (yet) available. Just defer drawing?
15:53:02kugelamiconn: I don't really understand what broke it exactly. I didn't really change that much

16:03:26pixelmaI don't think it would be confusing if it was only changed this way in the plugin. But ask amiconn, he said he would use short Off as cancel in the settings... ;)

17:59:45pixelman1s: I don't know where to put ACTION_KBD_MORSE_SELECT without interfering with the rest. What I think could work nicely is using Left or Right but then they are used as alternative left/right on the input line (which I wouldn't need because I have VolUp/Down for it everywhere), I saw related things in keyboard.c but couldn't figure out yet how to disable it
18:00
18:00:29kugelit's updating every HZ/5 anyway, I'm not sure if that's needed. But you may know better with a target where id3 can actually be NULL
18:00:43amiconnExiting at end of playlist works. It is caught by an if() that was already there, I just made the test a bit more specific
18:01:32amiconnkugel: Problem is that if 'update_track' or 'refresh' are cleared when the update didn't work, the next update will not update the whole wps.

18:03:12amiconnWhat about refresh?
18:03:18kugeland gui_wps_update updates everything that's non-static (which includes id3 info, currently)
18:03:52amiconnYeah, but it doesn't even draw the static parts if id3 isn't available, iiuc

18:07:43kugelwhat refresh? You mean restore?
18:07:52amiconnerr, yes
18:08:21kugelthat doesn't do anything to id3. It checks for valid wps, and calls gui_wps_refresh, which does nothing without id3
18:08:45kugelforcing it until id3 is available doesn't make sense
18:08:45amiconnWhy does it even exist then?
18:09:28kugelbecause it checks for a valid wps file and reverts to the build-in one if invalid, and does a full update always
18:09:59amiconnYes, and I need a full update when id3 info becomes available for the first time
18:10:09kugelit's really only meant to be used if the wps was left in the meantime, which is why it's under restore, restore is only true after quickscreen, etc, or entering

18:24:42Unhelpfuli guess the question now is, "when should i mask a normal core mapping with a new action?". there are a number of targets where i've done basically the same thing as ondio, and assigned long power as quit because CONTEXT_STD maps short power to cancel

18:43:43archivatorsaratoga: Am I right to assume that there isn't a way to give it real input and I'd have to do the real->complex conversion myself? Not that it's that hard, it's just one more thing I might screw up :)

18:44:07saratogawhat real to complex conversion?
18:44:16Unhelpfulreal->complex means adding 0-valued complex components
18:45:34archivatorThat's one way. Most libraries prefer to split the data throughout the array, placing some values in the imaginary components. It _should_ be faster.. See audacity's RealFFT and kiss fttr.
18:45:40gevaertsCan someone with arm knowledge help look at my latest patch in FS #10015? I get a data abort on gigabeat S, but not on e200
18:46:03saratogaoh that, yeah you'll have to interleave 0s in with each real datapoint

18:46:56archivatorI wonder how messed up the results would be if I use right channel for real and left channel for imaginary :P
18:47:14 Part nsyncbx
18:47:45saratogayou can actually do that using the symetry of the fft
18:47:58saratogabut its probably easier to just sum the two channels and do an fft of one
18:48:29Unhelpfuli could swear that a 1D FFT of real data has real outputs...
18:48:46saratogait does not!
18:49:00archivatorsaratoga: That's what I'm currently doing, only I'm averaging. Have you looked at the pastebin? I *feel* like it's something obvious!
18:49:13saratogaIIRC a 1D FFT of real valued, even symetric data does though
18:51:05saratogaarchivator: i skimmed it briefly but didn't really understand it
18:51:25saratogai also didn't get your 1024 points to 512 real points remark
18:52:14kugelgevaerts: in your latest patch the buffer size isn't increased anymore? but that's probably not causing the data abort
18:52:27archivatorsaratoga: With 1024 real values, it only returns 512 complex values...
18:52:31kugelweird that the beast gets the data abort, not the e200. It's usualy vice versa

18:53:16saratogaarchivator: you should be giving it 1024 complex values and getting 1024 complex values
18:53:36gevaertskugel: ah yes. I forgot that bit. And no, that shouldn't cause any issues (except that it won't get the speed benefits)
18:53:46saratogaunless you're throwing away the negative frequencies?
18:54:04archivatorsaratoga: is that the patch or the pastebin that you skimmed? The pastebin in question is : http://pastebin.ca/1375789 - my cos/sin work is shaky..
18:54:21webguest20hi :) I have a short question :D
18:54:28gevaertskugel: also, the data abort isn't really new. It's the reason why the old patch didn't do proper length handling
18:54:28amiconnkugel: Also _display always redraws fully, the other variants don't
18:54:41kugelgevaerts: I guess the beast specific code in the usb driver (for fixing the mbr) isn't causing a problem too?
18:54:57gevaertsthat shouldn't be involved at all
18:55:06webguest20would it be hard to port modules from ipodlinux?? Because they have a lot of interesting stuff there and its written in c, right? :D
18:55:48kugelamiconn: there's only 1 other variant, _update. This is the one called frequently and doesn't need to push full updates always
18:55:49saratogaarchivator: i'll look at it, but if your only problem is trig functions, you can precompute them
18:55:54saratogaand put them in a header file
18:56:00gevaertsthe data abort is in a bit only looks at control structures, not at actually transferred data
18:56:03kugelgevaerts: ok, no ideas then ;)
18:56:17kugelusb isn't my business
18:56:36archivatorsaratoga: What I'm doing is, I get N samples from the stream, pass them over to KISS FFT (as real values), it gives me back N/2 complex numbers, I take the magnitude, discarding the phase and plot it on the screen...
18:57:14amiconnkugel: Both of them call _redraw internally, which is also called directly from gui_wps_show (for peakmeters)
18:57:21saratogaQ15_DIV looks wrong
18:57:28saratogayou shouldn't need to be dividing anything

19:02:49saratogaarchivator: where do you think it breaks?
19:03:33saratogahave you tried computing these numbers in fp and comparing to your fixed code?
19:03:53archivatorsaratoga: in computing the actual sin() and cos() values. I don't think my version is equivalent to the floating point original.
19:04:00Nicky2009would it be hard to port modules from ipodlinux?? Because they have a lot of interesting stuff there and its written in c, right? :D
19:05:13archivatorsaratoga: I've only compared the final output and the only change between my fixed-point implementation and the original fixed-point mode lies in that macro - the original fixed-point code actually uses the sin() and cos() standard library functions, I am trying to replace them..
19:05:24saratogaarchivator: your DEGREESPERRADIAN is a float
19:05:35archivatorsaratoga: I know, phase is also a float.
19:05:43archivatorsaratoga: that's a temporary measure.
19:06:05saratogasin_int takes a float?

19:14:27archivatorUhm, not a fractional one - just degrees - from 0 to 360 IIRC. Then it just returns the appropriate precompiled value in 18.14. I don't have the code with me right now, so I might be off on the details..
19:15:35saratoga2so it can only compute 360 total sin values?

20:55:45rasherbluebrother: Because we use the checkwps results to filter out non-working themes. Can't do that with just a screensize
20:56:25bluebrotherso you're running checkwps on each access?
20:56:42*kugel hoped he was able to download h300 themes for his fuze (once it's supporte)
20:56:46domonokybluebrother: and the naming of this funcions could be improved. i just want to really make clear what modelname this is. (we have 3 different targenname lists now, and there was much confusion)
20:58:13bluebrotherwell, I was looking into that issue these days and I'd like to clear that up instead of adding more list handling
20:58:56rasherbluebrother: no, we store checkwps results for all targets matching the theme's resolution
20:59:19bluebrotherbesides, I don't think FS #10055 is a good solution −− the displayed size is still ambigous if you have multiple themes selected. I changed that locally the other day but was offline.
20:59:21domonokybluebrother: yes, clearing it up would be good. but you cant collapse those 3 lists into one. there are subtile differences in it..
20:59:59bluebrotherwell, we can at least collapse two lists. Just compare the target name and the section name. There are two differences:
21:00
21:00:29bluebrother(1) sansas have a "sansa" prefix, and iaudios an "iaudio". I have no idea why and I bet we could scrap those.
21:00:38domonokywhich target name ? :-) the one from the build-server or the one from configure ? :-)
21:01:00domonokybluebrother: because configure doesnt name them "sansa.." but just e200
21:01:07bluebrother(2) postfixes to indicate bootloader stuff, as in h10_5gbums. We could mark that as a special extension and handle it internally
21:01:21bluebrotherdomonoky: yes, but the file for download is sansae200.zip
21:01:43domonokyyes, thats because thats the targetname from the buildserver...
21:01:57bluebrothercheck tools/release/bins.pl
21:02:11*kugel doesn't see anything wrong with the model name prepended
21:02:15bluebrotherso the question is: *why* is there a difference in the binary on the download server?
21:02:20*bluebrother slaps kugel
21:02:28domonokyfor things like comparing to rockbox-info or genlang, you need the modelname from configure
21:02:29kugelimagine we supported sansa e100 and irivier e100
21:02:32 Quit dfkt_dt (Read error: 110 (Connection timed out))
21:02:52domonokythere are differences, because there are more binarys then, configure modelnames..
21:02:58bluebrotherkugel: please make yourself familiar with the issue itself first.
21:03:16bluebrotherthe problem isn't some prefix but a *difference* in various places
21:03:58bluebrothereither make all modelnames the form manufacturer-model, which would be the cleanest solution
21:04:29bluebrotheror keep it the current way, which means e200 is e200. Then I don't see a point in adding a prefix to the output zip file on the server
21:04:44bluebrotheras that means we have (yet another) special case
21:04:51kugelI prefer the former one too
21:05:09kugeli use 50, and not e200, for configure anyway
21:05:17domonokythe 3 list have a different size, so its not easy to combine them.
21:05:35bluebrotherBagder: any reason to use sansae200 instead of e200 as the configure model name is for the binary download?
21:05:51bluebrotherdomonoky: what lists are you talking about?
21:05:58bluebrotheri.e. what lists exactly?

21:06:14domonokyie what target names the different things know..
21:06:46domonokyrbutil distinuguishes more targets, then the buildserver, and the build server has more targets then configure..
21:07:18domonokyfor example fmrecorder8mb is "fmrecoder" in configure, but "fmrecoder8mb" for the build server..
21:07:52bluebrotherso how can we detect an fmrecorder8mb build via rockbox-info.txt?
21:07:55 Join Barahir [0] (n=jonathan@Zfce7.z.pppool.de)
21:08:02bluebrotheror even without that?
21:08:14domonokyyou cant.
21:08:25domonokybut we can detect it via the rbutil.log
21:08:28bluebrotherso we have a problem here. And that's the issue
21:08:45domonokyrockbox-info.txt will give fmrecoder (which is save)
21:08:46bluebrotherdomonoky: you sure? rbutil.log logs the files, not the zip filename
21:08:58bluebrotherbut it's wrong
21:09:02domonokywe also store rbutils internal targetname in it..
21:09:23bluebrotheron x5v we'll get x5 which is correct in terms of the main build but wrong in terms of the bootloader
21:09:33domonokythere are more targets with such problems..
21:09:45 Join fdinel [0] (n=Miranda@modemcable204.232-203-24.mc.videotron.ca)
21:10:07bluebrotheryes. And we should think about a better solution than the current one
21:10:58domonokyofcourse it would be good to make a better solution. but that wont be fast because you have to change, configure/buildserver and rbutil.
21:11:26bluebrotherwell, adding more complexity will hit use later.
21:11:48bluebrotherso I don't see a reason to not do it. Speed isn't an issue IMO.
21:12:28bluebrotherit just needs to get coordinated. And maybe some mod_rewrite magic to support the old naming for at least a while the same time
21:12:34*domonoky doesnt have a idea to get a better solution for this problem..
21:13:13 Quit jordoex (Read error: 110 (Connection timed out))
21:13:36bluebrotherfirst, remove the sansae200 vs e200 thing (same for c200 and m5, x5 and m3)
21:13:52domonokymy change didnt add complexity to rbutil. it just made it really clear which targetname is what. They were a few wrong uses there.. (for example the "target missmatch" warning)
21:14:30bluebrotherthe target mismatch warning has a bug by itself (which I introduced a while back, because of this e200 vs sansae200 thing)

21:15:51bluebrotherhaving it fixed means people forget about it ...
21:16:20domonokywhich "people" ? :-)
21:16:45domonokynot fixing means no new release with working themes.. :-)

21:18:21 Quit jfc (Read error: 104 (Connection reset by peer))
21:18:33bluebrotherbtw, there's also a question on how to figure if a theme is working on a build. We have the tested build and the installed one, but those don't necessarily need to support the same wps tags
21:18:38 Join jfc [0] (n=john@dpc691978010.direcpc.com)
21:19:24bluebrotherwhy aren't we using a wps "api" version number for that anyway?
21:19:33domonokyback to the targetname problem: renaming some names (ie sansa prefix, ipodmini(1g) ) is a first step, but the hard thing still remains, what todo with binarys configure doesnt know. Or targets with different bootloader, but same main binary?
21:20:03 Join PaulJam [0] (i=Paule@vpn-3008.gwdg.de)
21:21:44domonokybluebrother: i think the theme site change made it impossible to support the old api.. (because of the way themes are stored in the db).. and ofcourse rasher didnt thought about rbutil :-)
21:21:45bluebrotherwe could consider introducing some "extras" line in rockbox-info.txt for indicating f.e. fmrecorder8mb −− configure needs to know that we selected 8mb anyway, so we _do_ have the information.
21:22:16rasherdomonoky: well the old way of displaying themes based solely on display size was completely broken

22:01:30gevaertsit's a nice goal, but I think that it's not realistic
22:01:51domonokyfor this, we would need a self-updating rbutil :-)

22:57:44gevaertsAnd I increased the USB storage buffer, to actually make use of these chained descriptors
22:58:13amiconnAh, so the zens use the arc driver?
22:58:36gevaertsno. This is the UMS buffer

23:00:34amiconnDoes the storage driver use double buffering?
23:00:50gevaertsah yes. Actually, when I say 16k and 64k, I mean 32k and 128k... UMS uses double buffering
23:01:00jhMikeSgevaerts: IMX31 statically allocates the buffer but that RAM useage isn't included in the measurements. I'm not sure how to fix that up yet.
23:01:03amiconnWell, that explains it
23:01:22gevaertsjhMikeS: ah yes, a different section?
23:01:27*amiconn thinks the zens should use the audio buffer like the other targets

23:02:29jhMikeSnow that memory is mapped flat after moving the framebuffer
23:02:36*gevaerts has some vague ideas about caching a lot more data to reduce disk traffic and maybe improve speed, which would use all of the audio buffer...
23:03:20amiconnWrite caching is potentially dangerous, and I don't think read caching would make much sense

23:19:29Unhelpfulcoffeetime: people work on rockbox in their spare time. for a new device to be supported, somebody who has one has to figure out how. that's pretty much the only way devices get support. there is no "plan" to support any specific device at any specific future date.

23:25:31n1sgevaerts: my real world test of copying a flac album of 364 megs shows a speedup of ~ 40% on the beast :)
23:25:37Bagderbluebrother: I guess we've thought that the shorter version was a bit too vague
23:25:43jhMikeSgevaerts: The beast already has #9708 :)
23:25:45gevaertsn1s: not bad at all :)
23:25:52coffeetimegevaerts: wtf? I just asked something I do not know?
23:26:15jhMikeSn1s: how does the beast compare with OF? Does anyone know?
23:26:21bluebrotherwell, currently it's a bit of a problem. I stubled across it with rbutil (the install mismatch detection I broke a bit back to be exact).
23:26:26n1sjhMikeS: no idea
23:26:28gevaertscoffeetime: ports are done by people who own the hardware, like you.

23:26:54rasherkugel: no idea
23:26:56jhMikeSn1s: what is the actual speed there? it looks faster :)
23:27:04coffeetimescorche: what? do you know the MTOW of AN24?
23:27:04bluebrothercan we easily change that names (as in: also provide some mod_rewrite magic to make older rbutil versions not break)?
23:27:12n1sjhMikeS: unrelated, when starting my beast it alwyas shows an empty battery for a few seconds, is that normal and dou you think it can be "fixed" ?
23:27:39jhMikeSn1s: no, it's not normal to my knowledge
23:27:56scorchecoffeetime: i have no idea what you are referring to, but i doubt it has anything to do with rockbox...this channel is about rockbox topics only...

23:36:33cr08Curious. What are the usual files involved with the secondary (post-bootloader) boot logo? Tried to do some patching for my target but now I have a garbled screen for that logo I need to fix and can't recall exactly -which- files and where...
23:37:13gevaertsOn ipod we're still a lot slower than the OF, even with FS #9708
23:38:14 Part coffeetime ("Reality is that which, when you stop believing in it, doesn't go away")
23:38:27gevaerts11.5MB/s read, 8.6MB/s write. The OF gets 14.7 and 14.0
23:39:47n1sgevaerts: so the flash(driver) is limiting on the sansas i suppose?
23:40:01gevaertsn1s: yes
23:40:27gevaertsIIRC I got 12MB/s or so if I take out the actual reads and writes
23:41:18gevaertsInterestingly, UDMA is *faster* than using a ramdisk, because the test ramdisk code adds a memcpy :)
23:42:27gevaerts(at least it was, with the new speedups I'm not sure)

23:50:14Horschtit was ~54GB of Data/Music
23:50:32gevaertsDid you have issues earlier, or did they start at about r20344?
23:50:40*gevaerts tries some random guesses
23:51:18Horschti can't realy tell... Until about a week ago i was using the Apple OF

23:51:47HorschtI only started using rockbox again after i was able to build the tool that creates the DB while the ipod is connected to the PC
23:52:07Horschtbefore that, the last build I used was an early 19000 build
23:52:08n1sJdGordon: do you need to reboot if you want to load a wps that needs more ram?
23:52:08gevaertsdid you see this once, or has it happened several times?
23:52:58HorschtI only noticed it once, after that I went back to the OF to transfer files (as it is a lot faster for me than the Emergency Disk Mode)
23:53:04JdGordonn1s: when its finished you will if the new one needs more ram than you have allocated
23:53:25gevaertshm
23:53:34*gevaerts needs to think about this, but not today
23:53:43Horschtit was actualy the first time i tried the rockbox usb mode
23:53:55Horschtand until now, the last time :)
23:53:57n1sJdGordon: that sounds annoying to me
23:54:23JdGordonallocated != usage though... you can leave it much higher than needed if you want
23:54:44n1suh, how would i do that?
23:54:45JdGordonbut for now the size is static the same as svn
23:54:48*gevaerts really hates the fact that USB needs undocumented PortalPlayer magic that may be different depending on the player...
23:55:52n1sJdGordon: i just think of the case: new user wants to try a bunch of themes and in the worst case scenario needs to reboot on every change
23:56:04 Quit mcuelenaere (Remote closed the connection)
23:56:21JdGordonwell the default would be about the same size as svn so it wouldnt be such a problem

23:57:29JdGordonthe patch as it is now just buf_alloc()'s the same size as svn statically allocs now
23:57:30n1si dont' like that idea
23:57:43*gevaerts thinks that if we have too many settings for things like this, malloc starts to sound like a useful thing...
23:57:47n1s(the setting and the rebooting)
23:58:18JdGordonn1s: other than that... yes/no? I mean normal people would never have to resize the buffer
23:58:23JdGordonhow often do you change themes?
23:58:41JdGordonand like I said, you would only need to reboot if you want a theme that uses more ram than you have allowed
23:58:55n1sand we can get into situations where one setting limits the range of another etc
