01:11:54domonokylinuxstb: as far as i know, he needs a full blown memory manager, (ie buflib isnt enough). So dbestfit is better as something selfwritten :-) Dont know if moving it into the plugin lib is a good idea (we dont want to encurage use of this, when not really needed).

01:18:39saratogaFS #9885 - Add malloc library to codeclib

01:20:47 Quit andrewbeveridge (Client Quit)
01:20:59saratogacan codec and plugin code be shared?
01:21:02Unhelpfulbuflib does as much to manage memory as you can do without virtual memory. the major barrier to using it in imported code is that it does *not* have an API anything like malloc.
01:21:30 Join andrewbeveridge [0] (n=chatzill@88-109-101-174.dynamic.dsl.as9105.com)
01:21:45Unhelpfulsaratoga: surely the same methods used for pluginlib scaler/bmp/jpeg would work for importing items from the codec lib...
01:21:53 Part andrewbeveridge
01:23:09Unhelpfulbuflib can compact free space, while dbestfit can't possibly do that - *but* dbestfit gives you a pointer to your allocation that will never change until you free it.
01:24:32saratogadoes pda have a way to flush the malloc buffer? thats the only thing I couldn't figure out in the codeclib
01:25:34Unhelpfuli'm sure if you free al allocations you can get back to one contiguous block, if that's what you mean...
01:26:19saratogai needed someway to reset the malloc on codec changes so that a leak in one codec coudln't crash a different codec later on
01:26:40Unhelpfulactually, buflib can now make *one* allocation with a fixed address, via the buffer_in/buffer_out method
01:27:32domonokysaratoga: woulnt it be better to check for leftover buffers and warn after a codec exits ? Then those leaks could get fixed :-)
01:27:33Unhelpfulsaratoga: you might need to look at how that particular malloc initializes, and add a function to reset its state, if it doesn't have one
01:28:13saratogai tried adding such a function but never got it right
01:28:38saratogai don't see any sense in looking for leaks in the codecs, if I'm going to do that I might as well start rewriting them to not use malloc in the first place
01:29:06saratogaleaks are harmless with the current malloc anyway
01:29:27saratoga(since we don't even have a free!)
01:29:41Unhelpfulthat's not always practical, if they have a certain maximum total allocation, but it's split different ways depending on the file...
01:32:17domonokyand couldnt those leaks build-up if you play many files with the same codec ?
01:33:20 Join andrewbeveridge [0] (n=chatzill@88-109-101-174.dynamic.dsl.as9105.com)
01:33:28 Part andrewbeveridge
01:33:32Unhelpfuli think a malloc reset between files, even with the same codec in use, might be a very good idea...
01:33:48saratogadomonoky: no codecs reset their mallocs on track change
01:33:56saratogathey have to since we don't actually have a free()
01:34:16***Saving seen data "./dancer.seen"
01:34:28domonokyah, now i understand..
01:34:48*Unhelpful thought you just said you were never able to work out a malloc reset...
01:35:39saratoganot for a real malloc
01:36:04saratogafor the current one its really easy, you just reset the malloc pointer
01:36:25saratogaand since this is what free looks like: #define _ogg_free(x) do { } while(0)
01:36:27saratogait works fine
01:36:37Unhelpfulguh!
01:37:16saratogabut for dbestfit trying to reset the thing typically crashed on track changes

01:38:13Unhelpfuli seem to recall that the "init" function for dbestfit just adds a new chunk to the buffer?
01:39:15saratogaUnhelpful: yes it does, but readding the same chunk does not work
01:40:03Unhelpfulright, because the chunk is already in whatever list dbestfit keeps... where does it track that? perhaps we just need to be able to reset that list?
01:40:57 Part andrewbeveridge
01:41:39saratogait uses some sort of tree structure that I didn't understand
01:43:02*domonoky would think that to reinit dbestfit it would be enought to reinit top[].
01:43:15*mcuelenaere wonders how hard it would be to get splashf to learn \\n
01:46:06CIA-38New commit by mcuelenaere (r21048): Lua: add stack traceback when erroring out
01:51:54domonokywincent_balin: we are thinking about moving dbestfit from your plugin into pluginlib/codeclib as others could benefit from it too (see FS #9885) what do you think ?
01:52:37wincent_balinI say yes. Less for me to take care of :-)

01:53:15|unjustice|Hi,
01:53:28 Quit HellDragon (Success)
01:54:13|unjustice|I am trying to format my 4G ipod mini with two partitions, but I am not sure how big to make them it says (1-1032) when I try fdisk
01:56:13gevaertsyou could download the mbr from http://www.rockbox.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/IpodConversionToFAT32 and see what's there
01:56:57domonokywincent_balin: did you already use dbestfit successfully in PDa ? i only see it with #if 0 in your patch.
01:58:00wincent_balinThe next step is to run the messaging system in the allocated memory.
01:59:16|unjustice|I already tried to autodetect my ipod and it did not work becaus of HFS+, but in order to make it FAT32, I have to partition the hd for a filesystem...not sure how big to make the partitions, I erased the pre-existing ones

02:08:00|unjustice|Llorean: I need to know how to partition a filesystem prior to adding the mbr thing, I cannot seem to mount the device
02:08:51linuxstbThe mbr _is_ the partitioning. It's simply written to the first sector of the disk. You don't need to (or want to) mount it before doing that.
02:09:35andrewbeveridgeAlexP: nope
02:10:14|unjustice|linuxstb: but I need a filesystem so that I can write a partition table
02:10:33|unjustice|linuxstb: FAT32, this just says plug it into a windows box with itunes
02:10:37|unjustice|but I do not have that
02:10:37AlexPandrewbeveridge: You'll have to ask the wiki admins - that'd be Bagder probably. Unfortunately it is currently 02:10 in the morning, so they are probably asleep
02:11:32andrewbeveridgeAlexP: ah, ok. no problem. Can you confirm that it is a problem with TWiki, and not just me?
02:11:49gevaerts|unjustice|: I think you're seriously confused about what filesystems and partition tables are
02:11:51AlexPandrewbeveridge: I can't confirm it but it seems likely
02:12:16|unjustice|gevaerts: doubtful
02:12:36andrewbeveridgeAlexP: ok. I already emailed twiki@haxx.se but it's been a week so I guess I should just come back here at a less antisocial hour and hope Badger or somebody else can help me

02:12:53Llorean|unjustice|: Since a filesystem is unnecessary to write an MBR directly to the disk, I'm going to have to agree with gevaerts and AlexP
02:12:58|unjustice|gevaerts: the problem I have is this: there is no /dev/sdN, so I cannot move the mbr to that device
02:13:04AlexPandrewbeveridge: I'll try to remember to prod him if I see him :)
02:13:13|unjustice|the link you suggested recommeds I use FAT32

02:13:54Unhelpful|unjustice|: there are no disk devices *at all* for it?
02:13:57Llorean|unjustice|: A lack of /dev/sdN is completely different than a lack of filesystem, and unrelated.
02:14:15LloreanWell, the lack of filesystem might be a symptom, but not the cause
02:14:22AlexPYou do not need a filesystem to write a partition - in fact, without a partition you cannot have a filesystem

02:24:14andrewbeveridgeor, what thought process was used to choose it?
02:24:30AlexPlots of the devs use debian
02:24:46Lloreanandrewbeveridge: It was what the person working on it decided to pick.
02:24:51gevaertsMost probably the person who made the image just chose what he prefers
02:25:03andrewbeveridgeyeah, thats what i assumed.
02:25:05LloreanAs far as I know, I don't think there was really much debate or anything
02:25:10AlexPnone at all
02:25:35AlexPIt just happens that many here favour debian (or debian derivatives), and the person that made it choose that
02:25:54|unjustice|I find this URL vague and not helpful, since the first step recommends unmounting
02:25:57|unjustice|which I cannot do
02:26:05AlexPSo don't
02:26:11andrewbeveridgeits just that for new linux users, that image is probably very scary.

02:28:11|unjustice|"xxxx" means what?
02:28:14Lloreanandrewbeveridge: Someone who has no experience of Linux should probably be able to manage to learn the minimal knowledge needed if they're planning on developing Rockbox
02:28:18gevaertsandrewbeveridge: this is a bit off-topic, but it isn't any harder to use than those things you mention
02:28:31|unjustice|linux is easy to use
02:28:45AlexPandrewbeveridge: They are given instructions though - it isn't meant as a "proper" VM, just as a linux environment that they can follow instructions in
02:28:54AlexP|unjustice|: It is the mbr that you downloaded
02:29:09|unjustice|okay, so I put that filename into the command?
02:29:16AlexP|unjustice|: yes
02:30:02AlexP|unjustice|: You saw the line that says "Replace mbr-xxxx.bin with the name of the MBR file you downloaded in step b). " I assume?
02:30:10|unjustice|I did
02:30:22AlexPSo what is unclear about that?
02:30:34andrewbeveridgeok, i guess i understand that logic. and to be honest, if somebody wants to develop rockbox, its gonna help if they are happy with linux anyway.
02:31:23AlexPandrewbeveridge: I don't see why this choice is any harder than any other given its function (or just anyway)
02:31:24andrewbeveridge"mbr-xxxx.bin" means "a file starting with "mbr-" and ending with ".bin"
02:31:47AlexPandrewbeveridge: Even if he didn't get that I think "Replace mbr-xxxx.bin with the name of the MBR file you downloaded in step b)." is fairly clear

02:34:26andrewbeveridgeAlexP: I guess i measure "difficulty" of distro on a "similarity to MS windows" scale, for most new users. and Debian is pretty low on the scale compared with a couple others. mainly because of the lack of KDE (or even Gnome)
02:34:50gevaertsplease, this is getting far off topic
02:34:54Lloreanandrewbeveridge: But Rockbox development *requires* terminal use.
02:34:54|unjustice|agreed
02:34:59AlexPthat is a choice for the VM to keep the download size down, nothing to do with Debian
02:35:09|unjustice|so, how do I figure out the name of the ipod?
02:35:15LloreanIn that context, "difficulty" is basically equal for the compiling part, and everything else can be done outside of the VM
02:35:31AlexPandrewbeveridge: but yes, #rockbox-community is good for stuff like this
02:35:44Llorean|unjustice|: For which step?
02:36:05andrewbeveridgeokies, topic dropped (it was reallt just a whimsical thought anyway)
02:36:07|unjustice|um...several anytime it says diskN after unplugging

02:36:56Llorean|unjustice|: As it says at the top of the page, those are Mac instructions.
02:37:09|unjustice|I am not getting any output from the first command that contains the name of the ipod
02:37:14gevaertsHave a look at the IpodManualRestore page. That will probably help
02:37:16Llorean/dev/diskN is the Mac equivalent for /dev/sdN
02:38:08|unjustice|I guessed that, but the sdb command does not work, perhaps it was a typo, I will double check

02:39:06andrewbeveridgeunjustice: pastebin the output from "dmesg | tail" after plugging it in?
02:39:37kuberhm. i have an ipod video black 80gb... I can't seem to play m4a files, though the manual lists them in 'Supported audio formats'.. when i go to files -> and try to play it just skips to the next file
02:40:08|unjustice|newfs_msdos is not a command
02:40:17Lloreankuber: What SVN revision are you running?
02:40:35Llorean|unjustice|: That's not the first step you should be doing
02:40:43kuberLlorean: i just grabbed the current build link , r21048
02:40:44|unjustice|oh? what should I be doing?
02:41:04Lloreankuber: Are you sure they're not encrypted? Did you encode them yourself?
02:41:10kuberyeah, encoded with faac
02:41:12 Quit Dauron (Connection timed out)
02:41:15Llorean|unjustice|: You should be doing them in order, not skipping to the filesystem one
02:41:29Llorean|unjustice|: Or you could try the link at the top of the page, the one with the red text, that says it's for people using Linux...
02:41:44Lloreankuber: It may be a metadata issue then. Do they have embedded album art?
02:42:04kuberno, this was just straight from a flac ripped to from cd then to faac
02:42:12|unjustice|ahhhh MUCH better thank you
02:42:26Llorean|unjustice|: You still need to do other things *before* making the filesystem
02:42:32LloreanPlease don't try to do things out of order
02:42:53kuberwhen i try to play i get a now playing screen momentarily, with "TB\n(root)\n(root)"
02:43:05Lloreankuber: Unfortunately, you seem to have some sort of problem file. You'll need to figure out what's different about it, probably
02:44:17kuberhm. i wonder where i can find a reference file that should play
02:44:38JdGordonso, I've just come up with the wierd idea to write a function to put touchable buttons on screen (for touchscreens...) 1) do I bother making it multi-screen aware? I mean its probably not going to be wanted to be shown on remote screens, and 2) how programatically customizable do I make it? right now im only thinking text for the buttons...

02:45:33gevaertsfor what context is this?
02:45:39Lloreankuber: Files encoded with iTunes should play. Usually it's a metadata issue, so you could find a tool for manipulating MP4 containers and play with it
02:46:53LloreanJdGordon: I'd say touch buttons kinda need to be able to use images as well.
02:47:22LloreanSome things work much better as icons than text, since icons don't need to resize to fit translated strings
02:47:23JdGordonyeah, but not just yet I think... eventually icons would be nice
02:47:54LloreanWell, you were asking whether text was enough. :-P
02:48:46LloreanI'd also say try to make it multi-screen aware. Who knows when we'll get a DAP with the second screen being the touchscreen, or with multiple touchscreens. If possible, I'd say try to plan for this possibility (within reason if it really makes it far too complex, of course)
02:49:08LloreanI can pretty easily see a DAP with a touchscreen remote happening.
02:49:39JdGordonyeah, um... what I meant was do I let things specify where on the screen each button goes? or just the viewport to put them in and make a nice row of buttons?
02:50:03JdGordonand by multi-screen aware I meant draw it on both screen... the mr500 already has a remote lcd
02:50:15JdGordonbut I doubt we'd ever get a remote lcd touchscreen
02:50:37LloreanI think a non touchscreen main unit with a touchscreen remote isn't too unlikely.
02:51:18JdGordonactually... hmm.. this could work anyway
02:51:41JdGordonseen as each screen would need to have the area set differently anyway

04:27:07andrewbeveridgeno need to shout
04:27:07andrewbeveridgehi
04:27:07andrewbeveridgehave you mounted it?
04:27:18andrewbeveridgewait, is this in windows or linux?
04:28:40ipodvideo5git is windows it was working fine ive been using rockbox for about a year now...
04:29:09krazykit`what revision are you using?
04:29:22ipodvideo5gi beleive it might be related to the md5sum...cause stupid me i was wondering what the plugin was..so i ran it
04:29:34_unjustice_BLKRRPART failed: Device or resource busy I get this error now that I am retrying this command "hdparm -z /dev/sdb"
04:29:56andrewbeveridgegoogle it?
04:30:20ipodvideo5gi am using version 3.2-090323
04:30:25krazykit`_unjustice_, it sounds like it's still mounted or something.
04:30:36krazykit`ipodvideo5g, then you're using apple's firmware for usb, which rockbox doesn't affec
04:30:40krazykit`affect
04:31:07_unjustice_when I try to unmount, it says device not mounted, however it shows up when I list mounted devices
04:31:32krazykit`so run "sync", wait, and just unplug it
04:31:46ipodvideo5gkrazykit, i dont understand your response
04:32:23krazykit`ipodvideo5g, if you're using the 3.2 release, when you're in a usb transfer mode, you're not running any rockbox code
04:32:23_unjustice_oh....it was sdb2
04:33:45ipodvideo5gok so what should i do?
04:34:14andrewbeveridgehave a look in device manager?
04:34:14andrewbeveridgesee if it is listed
04:34:38andrewbeveridgeif it isn't, and other USB devices work fine, then there is something faulty with your iPod, I would guess.
04:34:52_unjustice_es
04:35:36ipodvideo5gno it doesnt list at all..i have tried it on both my laptop and my desktop and it reboots when i connect the usb then shows the do not disconnect...then immediately ok to disconnect
04:36:13andrewbeveridgewell, that it nothing to do with rockbox. try it in safe mode or whatever its called with iPods

04:38:35ipodvideo5gyes thats what i have always doen but when i do that it freezes in ok to disconnect
04:38:49ipodvideo5gits the select and play
04:39:18ipodvideo5gbefore this it didnt require the 2dle button hold
04:39:34ipodvideo5g*double button button hold
04:41:00andrewbeveridgedoes the ipod work fine otherwise? try plugging it into a linux system and check if dmesg reports anything
04:41:55ipodvideo5gyes the ipod works fine
04:41:59_unjustice_http://www.rockbox.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/IpodManualRestore....so I followed these instructions all the way through and I cannot get my ipod to start it only gets to a folder with an exclamation point, I still want to install rockbox, is this a sign that the ipod is broken?
04:42:23ipodvideo5gwhat is the everything.md5sum file for can i delete it
04:44:21krazykit`it's what happened when you ran the md5sum plugin.
04:44:30krazykit`you can safely delete it
04:49:29ipodvideo5gi dont understand how... i have googled like crazy and found that many have gone thru this yet no one has posted how to fix it
04:50:28_unjustice_does anyone know how to get vfat onto the ipod in linux, so that I can install rockbox?
04:50:44krazykit`_unjustice_, yes, you follow the wiki page you linked. that's the method.
04:51:25_unjustice_okay, but it doesn't work
04:51:47_unjustice_the ipod works with hfs+, which means it probably isn't hardware
04:52:21_unjustice_krazykit`: every command on that page works fine, but the ipod still does not start up
04:52:26krazykit`that suggests that you're doing something wrong
04:52:56_unjustice_I am copying and pasting the instructions\
04:53:02_unjustice_into terminal
04:53:16andrewbeveridgeunjustice: would you be willing to run a vnc server so i can do it for you?
04:54:02krazykit`_unjustice_, you're substituting the proper filenames and device names in the commands, right?
04:54:10_unjustice_yes
04:54:17_unjustice_sdb and 4.3.1.1
04:54:49andrewbeveridgeunjustice: is that a yes or a no?
04:57:22_unjustice_andrewbeveridge: I would prefer to understand it first hand\
04:59:01andrewbeveridgeok, well you would if you saw me do it. i think too many people have tried and failed to explain what to do. and if there is something unusual going on which is causing the instructions to fail, it would be a lot easier to figure out if I could *see* what was happening
04:59:16_unjustice_you want pastebin?
04:59:27andrewbeveridgeof...?
04:59:53_unjustice_exactly.
05:00
05:00:04andrewbeveridgewhat are you on about?
05:00:27_unjustice_none of the commands give errors, so I am not sure what is going on. I tried this manual restore page, and I cannot get vfat onto the ipod
05:00:36_unjustice_the partition table worked fine
05:01:11_unjustice_sdb, sdb1, sdb2 are all there...but I cannot seem to get the ipod to start up
05:01:27andrewbeveridgeright, ok, so from this point as far as i'm concerned the only way i can help you is if i can access the terminal
05:01:38 Quit miepchen^schla (Read error: 101 (Network is unreachable))
05:01:38_unjustice_what would you do?
05:03:29andrewbeveridgefirst i would ask you to unplug and re-plug in the ipod. then i would do "dmesg | tail", process the output to see if anything unusual was happening. if not, i would then do a 'dd if="/dev/zero" of="/dev/whatever" bs=512 count=1'. then i would start fdisk and make some partitions.
05:04:17_unjustice_that is funny
05:04:24_unjustice_I tried each of those in that order
05:05:00andrewbeveridge.....
05:05:27andrewbeveridgewell, if it is funny, and you are unwilling to let me try and help you by accessing the terminal myself, there is no point me being here
05:06:25_unjustice_basically, I do not see how granting you access to my terminal will help me, if you plan on doing things that I have already attempted
05:07:09_unjustice_that, and I am not sure I can trust that you have my best interests in mind, as was suggested to me earlier by someone in this room
05:07:32andrewbeveridgeclearly, if you had done the above and succeeded, you would have what you wanted right now. so the fact that you are still here means something must have gone wrong. i have no way of knowing what exactly went wrong unless i can see the commands, and outputs, myself.
05:07:59_unjustice_but you can see them without terminal access
05:08:22andrewbeveridgeyou want to copy and paste outputs from commands into pastebin for me to read? it would be so much easier for you to run a vnc client.
05:09:44_unjustice_I would rather do it myself because if someone else fixes my problem then I learn very little about the nature of the error and how to fix it
05:10:01_unjustice_*poof* it works

05:10:35andrewbeveridgeuh, have you learned anything in the past hour or two? many very intelligent people have tried to help you. you would see anything i did, and i would happily explain anything

05:11:01andrewbeveridge?
05:11:03_unjustice_everyone directed me to the link
05:11:06_unjustice_it was helpful
05:11:22_unjustice_however, I am left with the same problem I entered with, an ipod with partitions but no vfat
05:11:27andrewbeveridgeok... so what are you saying? you have got it working now?
05:11:44andrewbeveridgewell, what did you create the partitions with?
05:11:51_unjustice_originally?
05:11:52_unjustice_fdisk
05:11:56_unjustice_then, hdparm
05:12:00andrewbeveridgei mean right now
05:12:06_unjustice_hdparm
05:12:18krazykit`_unjustice_, you didn't dd the partition table over?
05:13:14_unjustice_krazykit`: if that is on the link, then yes...
05:13:16krazykit`that wiki page doesn't mention fdisk at all
05:13:20_unjustice_I kow
05:13:24_unjustice_*I know that
05:13:58andrewbeveridgewhat is your aim? i must have missed your initial request. i thought it was simply to partition an ipod
05:15:41 Quit efyx_ (Remote closed the connection)
05:15:48_unjustice_I was partitioning with fdisk, I wanted to know the sector size, I was redirected to the wikipage, which had an alternative method for partitioning. fine. I used the mbr-mini2g-4g to partition and I get 3 (sdb, 1 and 2)
05:16:01_unjustice_BUT, I cannot get vfat onto the ipod
05:16:18_unjustice_which is necessary for rockbox installation
05:17:18andrewbeveridgehello?
05:17:20krazykit`so you dd'd the firmware over as per the instructions, making absolutely sure you have the right firmware file?
05:17:47andrewbeveridgelook, fdisk cannot create filesystems. use parted for that.

05:20:11ipodvideo5g have updated my itunes thinking that maybe somwhow the drivers would help me enter diskmode...but nope no cigar

05:21:16krazykit`andrewbeveridge, it sounds like confusion over how to turn a macpod into a winpod at this point.

05:23:20krazykit`_unjustice_, you downloaded the wrong firmware file. that looks like the "4g iPod", rather than the "mini 2g"
05:23:20andrewbeveridgekrazykit`: uh... why? surely then he would just follow the usual instructions for installing rockbox on it? what am i missing?
05:23:55krazykit`andrewbeveridge, you're missing the fact that the device currently doesn't work?
05:24:48krazykit`_unjustice_, on the firmware download page, look in the dropdown box for "Mini 2g (7/1.4.1)", since you said you have a 2nd gen ipod mini
05:25:07andrewbeveridgekrazykit`: ugh. i'm confused. i shall drop it as i am cluttering up this channel
05:25:29ipodvideo5gandrew: could you help me
05:26:21ipodvideo5gi am still unable to connect to my ipod
05:26:51_unjustice_krazykit`: okay, I already did that
05:27:30andrewbeveridgeipodvideo5g: please? =P sure. though it isn't rockbox related so we should switch to #rockbox-community. if device manager isn't recognizing your ipod at all, no matter what buttons you press or hold or whatever, then all i can recommend is plugging it into a computer running linux and telling me what dmesg says.

05:45:17andrewbeveridgehow does the rockbox database read meta info from tracks managed by iTunes?
05:45:34krazykit`by id3 tags and whatever metadata aac files use
05:45:57Unhelpfulthere are mp4 atoms for metadata
05:46:18andrewbeveridgedoes iTunes store tags in the actual files then?
05:46:33andrewbeveridgei thought it stored them in its own database
05:46:52andrewbeveridgei've never actually used it, just seen friends and clients ipods.
05:46:57UnhelpfuliTunes has a database, but i'm pretty sure tracks from iTunes should already have proper metadata. tracks from elswhere, that becomes your problem.
05:48:45andrewbeveridgeah, ok. i assumed if it had a database of its own on the iPod, and it moves all tracks to funky locations and filenames, then it would wipe the tags in the files.

05:50:19andrewbeveridgeok, second question. if i got hold of an ipod, plugged it into a linux box, zeroed the whole thing with dd, then created a single partition + vfat filesystem with parted, would it work?
05:50:30Unhelpfulwhy do that? it's complicated, and the space savings would be miniscule, and actually almost zero in terms of actual filesystem space saved (since files are allocated in whole block)
05:50:42Unhelpful...i wouldn't do that if i were you.

05:54:15safetydanHow does dbestfit compare to dlmalloc.c that's part of the LUA plugin?
05:55:36krazykit`andrewbeveridge, no, you're not right. the ipod would not function as a music player and likely would reboot into emergency disk mode
05:55:44Unhelpfulandrewbeveridge: "i assumed if it had a database of its own on the iPod, and it moves all tracks to funky locations and filenames, then it would wipe the tags in the files" <- and i was pointing out that no purpose could be served by this

10:01:58*amiconn was thinking about adding the overlay loader capability (actually just handling a non-standard load address) to the core plugin loader
10:02:49amiconnThis would allow to get rid of the separate overlay loader plugins, and make better use of available ram for "jumbo plugins" (they won't be "overlays" anymore)

10:07:04 Join FlynDice_ [0] (n=jack@c-24-19-225-90.hsd1.wa.comcast.net)
10:08:11amiconnThose plugins would no longer need to be loaded before the standard plugin buffer, but they could overlap that buffer
10:09:24FlynDice_what's the best way to pass an argument to a short assembly routine in a .c file?
10:09:59amiconnIt would also allow to ask the user whether he wants to stop playback (localised and with voice support) when such a plugin is about to be loaded
10:10:27amiconn(Voice will only work on swcodec, obviously)
10:11:20Unhelpfuli've summed up >8KB so fare of stuff i'm fairly sure is not needed during cache build :)
10:12:32Unhelpful... plus the ~4.5KB stack for the PF loader thread
10:14:30Unhelpfuli like the chaining idea. it might even be of value on non-tiny-buffer targets, like the color targets with huge screens (and huge cache items)
10:17:25amiconnThe jumbo plugin idea would also save a bit of diskspace (less files - saves 1 cluster per .ovl), and reduce confusion for developers (no duplicate plugin names in apps/plugins/)
10:18:13Unhelpfulwhere are these buffers laid out? is the audio buffer immediately before the plugin buffer?
10:18:20amiconnyes
10:19:08amiconnChaining might be useful for PF, but the jumbo plugin idea is independent of that (there is more than just PF)
10:19:43Unhelpfulright, the other plugins that use overlays on devices with smaller memory, for example.
10:20:00amiconnIt could even be automated in the build system, meaning that making a jumbo plugin wouldn't need special care anymore
10:20:05Unhelpfulwhat about the idea of moving the boundary between audio and plugin buffers?
10:21:12Unhelpfulin particular, that might be *very* nice if we also add the ability to unbuffer the last track and compact the audio buffer, since jumbo plugins could load without forcing a stop
10:21:30 Quit FlynDice (Read error: 110 (Connection timed out))
10:21:55amiconnActually, if plugins are linked in a way that their *end* aligns to a certain bound (that's how overlay linking works now), the plugin buffer size could even be a user setting
10:22:15amiconnI.e. the user would decide how much ram to set aside for plugins to run in parallel with playback
10:23:05Unhelpfulbut, if we make the audio/plugin division something that can change dynamically, that gets even better - there is no space reserved when a plugin is not running, for example. :)
10:23:26amiconnUnhelpful: The buffering mechanism doesn't allow this atm, also, there are two different implementations to take into account (hwcodec and swcodec)...
10:24:21Unhelpfulhow hard would it be to add such a capability? or, we could force stop/restart to move the buffer end, as we already do on AA size change...
10:24:57amiconnCurrently mpeg.c has no mechanism to change buffer allocation once it's initialised
10:25:38*amiconn likes that idea though
10:25:53amiconnExactly zero plugin buffer when no plugin is running...
10:26:43*Unhelpful would think that the extra code to do the added management work couldn't possibly cost more than 32KiB ;)
10:27:19amiconnNo, but it will increase the binsize. There are some limits related to that...
10:28:50 Quit fyrestorm (Read error: 60 (Operation timed out))
10:29:00amiconn(1) The OF loader will only load .mod/.ajz up to a certain size: 200KB on Player and Recorder v1, 400KB on the others. Not all devices are flashable, especially Player and Recorder v1.
10:29:35Unhelpfulwell, *all* of buflib, including the compactor, and the new buffer_in/out functions, comes to 1.2KiB on ARM. less than 800B on SH-1. i can't imagine adding compaction to our existing buffer implementations would approach even that much.
10:30:27amiconnWe have a workaround for that which pushes the limit a bit, and is already in use for recv1: When the binary exceeds 200KB, it will be .ucl compressed (which is done anyway for flashing) and prepended with a small self-extractor
10:31:41amiconn(2) For flashing, the binary needs to fit in the flash ROM. Flash ROM is 256KB; 28KB are taken by the flash loader and bootbox (the rescue firmware in case main rb fails) - that leaves 228KB
10:33:17amiconnThis is what ucl compressed rockbox must not exceed. If rockbox fits uncompressed, it can be run directly from flash rom ("rombox"), leaving ~200KB additional ram for buffering
10:33:43amiconnCurrently this is only possible for Player and Ondio SP - all others have grown too large
10:35:54Unhelpfulso, our major concerns would be 1) making core too large to fit compressed any more 2) making core too large to fit uncompressed on Player and Ondio SP.
10:39:27 Join ender` [0] (i=krneki@foo.eternallybored.org)
10:40:13Unhelpfulalso, on multicore targets, making sure that compaction doesn't introduce concurrency issues. remember, jhmikes and i talked a bit about this when i was writing buflib, and the conclusion we came to was pretty much that each core could run its own buflib allocator for non-shared data, and that shared data would have to be allocated from a common buffer and kept at static addresses.

18:14:57tomersA noobs question: The mass storage takes ~5K... When USB classes will be implemented as plugins, and the DAP detached from USB, this space will be spared. What benefit we would get from it?
18:17:54gevaertsFrom that 5K, not really much. It's not the entire picture though, there's also a bit in screens.c (the USB connect screen). As I see it, the real benefit is that it's a lot easier to add class drivers, and to make them more interesting. Some of those "other ideas" on your wiki page aren't really doable in core
18:20:59tomersgevaerts: Thanks for this info. I really couldn't understand how it helps from other aspects. I do agree that it will ease classes development. I'll update my Wiki page. Going now...
18:21:15gevaertsthe usb logo on the connect screen is more than 16K on ipod video, and it's *only* used for mass storage. That means that with careful cutting, the actual benefit of plugins is nearer 20k

19:25:56kugelI thought that a) a cleanup() would be called in exit() which is to be provided by the plugin, or b) the plugin loader handles all possible cleanup
19:25:59mcuelenaereyou can add a new PLUGINLIB_EXIT_INIT_W_CALLBACK(callback) define though
19:26:21mcuelenaerehow could the plugin loader handle all possible cleanup? (e.g. open file handles)

19:27:15*mcuelenaere thinks adding a PLUGINLIB_EXIT_INIT_W_CALLBACK will be the easiest to do

20:03:12AlexP*anyone
20:05:09gevaertsAlexP: if all else fails, you could add a feature in features.txt with the exact same logic as in SOURCES

20:06:19AlexPI do?
20:06:30kugeldidn't you? Someone said that
20:06:40kugelsomeone said, that this someone hesitates I mean
20:06:45AlexPkugel: It may well be true, but it wasn't me that said it :)
20:07:14gevaertsI'd actually like a feature for each plugin
20:07:19kugelI think there's no reason to not do it, especially as there's some plugin localization work ongoing
20:07:39kugelso those features are quite likely to be used for langs later too
20:07:43AlexPI could just do it with \nopt for those that don't have it, but that isn't very nice as then people have to check it for every new target, and adjust it if a target's support changes
20:07:58gevaertskugel: well, features are listed in rockbox-info.txt, they aren't pure internal stuff
20:08:33kugelI'd just do #if PLUGIN_BUFFER_SIZE < 512K;low_plugin_buffer;#endif
20:08:48kugelgevaerts: it still doesn't hurt, does it?
20:09:42gevaertsit doesn't hurt *much*, probably.
20:09:44kugelor a features.txt just for plugins (plugins.txt?). that could then be in a seperate (if at all) section in rockbox-info.txt too

20:41:57BryanJacobssomebody really needs to generate a dependency graph of the files in the rockbox tree and rearrange things so that the graph isn't so connected
20:42:30BryanJacobsfor example, successfully compiling apps/metadata/wavpack.c requires apps/metadata/mp3.c
20:44:05BryanJacobsand EVERYTHING requires misc.c
20:44:11BryanJacobsand misc.c requires everything

20:53:30BryanJacobsI eventually just took metadata_common.c and stripped out all the stuff I didn't need
20:53:50BryanJacobsall I really needed was the read_uintfoo functions
20:53:55kugelthe mp3.c is probably something historical
20:54:27BryanJacobskugel: graph is metadata/wavpack -> metadata_common -> id3 funcs -> metadata/mp3
20:54:46BryanJacobsthe problem is metadata_common having too much stuff in it
20:55:12BryanJacobsit actually keeps going with mp3 -> codepages + unicode -> misc -> everything
20:55:32kugelwell, guess why it's id3 funcs and struct mp3entry. historical reasons. And apparently nobody bothered to clear it up yet

20:56:19kugelpatches are welcome, you know :)
20:56:20BryanJacobswhy don't codecs implement their own metadata parser?
20:56:48domonokyBryanJacobs: thats not possible.. at the time metadat is read, the codec isnt loaded.
20:56:53kugelbecause lots of codecs share the metadata with other codecs
20:56:53BryanJacobskugel: I'm coding stuff now
20:57:07domonokyand the sharing of course too...
20:57:15BryanJacobsah, I see
20:57:40kugelalso, the metadata reading isn't a codec thing, mostly (IIUC)
20:57:50domonokymetadata code is also the second swicth from file extension to codec (in case two codecs can have the same file ending)
20:58:16BryanJacobsI didn't realize file extensions were one-many mapped to codecs
20:58:31BryanJacobswhich extension(s) would that be?
20:58:40BryanJacobswe don't do container formats like AVI, right?
20:58:49domonokythats a little bit hidden, but metadata can switch the codec type..
20:58:57domonokyfor example .ogg i think
20:59:08kugelwe have many codecs. but many codecs share the metadata type (vorbis comment, id3, etc) and many codecs share its container
20:59:25BryanJacobsI didn't know rockbox did ogg-contained flac
20:59:37kugeland AFAIK it doesn't
20:59:48BryanJacobsI think I understand now, though - just having the shared id3 code would be reason enough
21:00
21:00:04BryanJacobsbut still, the dependencies are out of hand
21:00:17domonokywe have some shared containers, but i dont know exactly which ones..
21:00:33BryanJacobsmaybe WAV
21:00:40BryanJacobsaiff/raw
21:02:02BryanJacobswhy do I get a backtrace like "#0 0x00000000 in ?? ()" when I compiled everything with -ggdb?
21:02:41domonoky.mp4 does it (line 653)
21:03:07domonoky(switches between ALAC and AAC)
21:03:21mtBryanJacobs : Instead of taking functions from rb's source tree, you could write your own functions that "look" like what you'd use from rb's source. (That's how it's done in RM)
21:03:23BryanJacobsoh yeah, I forgot about .m4a

21:03:55BryanJacobsmt: I was trying to use the code in-place because then it automatically stays in sync
21:04:03mtThat's assuming you're trying to get the codec working outside rockbox ?
21:04:08BryanJacobsyes.
21:04:28BryanJacobsI've been pulling things out only when absolutely necessary
21:04:53BryanJacobsbut maintenance gets harder when you increase code duplication, right?
21:05:06domonokyBryanJacobs: while its good that you try to clean up the mess, i would suggest to focus on your project... :-) and maybe take a look at the other codec test programs...
21:05:24BryanJacobsdomonoky: I'm using the test_codec plugin code
21:05:36domonokythats probably a good start :-)
21:05:56BryanJacobsand not actually doing cleanup right now... I was just getting annoyed at how the dependencies made it hard to get things working
21:05:57mtBryanJacobs : The RM parser isn't that big so I had no trouble porting it to rockbox .
21:07:35BryanJacobsanyhow, I've got a whole codec testing program compiling but have to fix a segfault
21:08:15BryanJacobscode at http://q3q.us/harness.tar.bz2 for the interested

23:19:00archivatorQuick question - is there any way a plugin can detect buffer underruns and take measures to reduce its cpu usage?
23:19:56saratogano
23:20:14saratogabut we have a scheduler, so setting the priority low enough should be good enough to accomplish that I think
23:23:43archivatorI'm not sure I follow - the plugin should lower its thread's priority, is that what you're saying?
23:26:06saratogaif you're using so much CPU time that you compete with the codec for CPU time, you can request a lower priority for your thread I believe
23:26:24Mikachuseti@rockbox?
23:27:02Unhelpfulis this about the spectrum visualizer?
23:27:15archivatorUnhelpful: it is.
23:28:12Unhelpfulmy suggestion would be to calculate the FFT in a thread that is of lower priority than the various threads doing decode, buffering, and playback, and display it in the main thread, since displaying it doesn't really cost anything.
23:29:23 Quit SirFunk (Read error: 60 (Operation timed out))
23:29:38saratogahow much CPU time does your plugin really need?
23:29:41archivatorUnhelpful: There's scaling to do before displaying it but I can see where you're going. I've never worked with threads in rockbox, is the overhead significant?
23:30:19saratogai've become interested in getting a fast fft into rockbox once again
23:30:48Mikachuheh, fast fft huh?
23:30:53archivatorsaratoga: hard to say - how would you propose to measure that? I mean, I can only give you updates per second and that's hardly a meaningful number..
23:31:43archivatorMikachu: there's fft and then there's kiss fft (which I'm regretfully using) :)
23:31:48saratogaI would time the execution of one fft using a timer
23:32:17saratogaor else try to estimate how much time you're spending in teh fft by running your plugin with and without fft and observing the difference in clock speed

23:34:41archivatorsaratoga: I can probably get you those numbers in a day or two (I don't have much spare time right now ) .. what are you expecting to see though? KISS FFT is hardly the fastest implementation out there and all the function calls in there must add quite the overhead...
23:34:47***Saving seen data "./dancer.seen"
23:35:54saratogaknowing how much time you're using is helpful for optimization
23:36:12saratogai guess a better question might be how often you call the fft and of what size
23:36:25Mikachuwhat about fftw?
23:36:35archivatorRight, I thought it had to do with your incentive to add an fft lib in core rockbox..
23:36:55saratogai don't think fftw does fixed point
23:37:01Mikachuah
23:37:11andrewbeveridgeMikachu: seti requires networking ;-)
23:37:23archivatorI think much of my troubles will be solved once I figure out a better way to access PCM data and trade speed for precision
23:37:41saratogathe reason to add fft to core would be as part of the codec library's MDCT functions, if in fact a fast fft is faster then alternative ways of computing the imdct
23:38:29saratogaof course that would have the added advantage of making it available to plugins
23:39:27archivatorSure. I don't see any other plugin using that but that's fine..

23:44:57saratogaUnhelpful: on the ffmpeg list people seem to hold the opposite view, and dislike the idea of mixing the two operations
23:45:05saratogabut i've seen people claim both are faster
23:45:35saratogai emailed the ffmpeg developer behind their new IMDCT to ask him about it
23:47:00 Quit merbanan (Read error: 110 (Connection timed out))
23:47:25Unhelpfulsaratoga: it probably depends on the windowing function used, but it might be possible to multiply the IMDCT matrix by the windowing function, and then reduce algebraically to produce an optimized imdct+window
