#rockbox log for 2009-06-23

00:00:54Zagoryes that would be a lot better
00:01:08rasherAny reason to not put runclient and rbclient in tools (or some other place in trunk)?
00:01:19rasherwould make the barrier to entry even smaller
00:01:42Zagorthe reason was simply that we didn't want to trigger builds for every commit...
00:02:05Bagderwe can put it there later on
00:02:15linuxstbIsn't there a script to prevent that?
00:02:15gevaertsalso, this shouldn't be very rockbox specific. It could be useful for other things
00:02:34rasherMakes sense. With the added bonus that it ensures things are in the right location

01:13:12SarangBut am hesistant for c200v2 not having any recovery mode (yet).
01:13:15Sarang:D
01:13:27saratogatheres probably no recovery mode for the c200v2
01:13:38linuxstbSarang: It's probably as safe now as it will ever be...

01:50:47rasherAnd yes, if the active file is not in the relevant dir, it won't work, and it will simply pick the first file. I don't think that's so terrible
01:51:43JdGordon|yeah the 2nd point was just a fyi.... english.lng is not the language used if none is set... the internal one is and they *could* be different
01:51:59 Part heftig
01:52:03JdGordon|sure it wont happen often, but I dont see the need to special case that one
01:52:38rasherIt can't be different unless people have modified Rockbox
01:52:53rasherIn which case this is just something else they should modify
01:53:11rasherJdGordon|: The special case is there so that the language selection is correct on first run
01:53:57JdGordon|anyway, its not really a big deal, just I dont see the need for it.. but ok
01:54:19rasherWhy not? If the user has not selected a language (ie. first run), arabic will be selected, which is clearly wrong
01:55:12JdGordon|which is why I tihnk it would be better to change the icon for the item instead of the selection
01:55:21rasherAnd we *know* in that case that the builtin language is used. And we *know* that that is English.
01:55:52JdGordon|someone could change their build to use a different one as the base
01:56:14rasherIf they go to that lengths, that's not our problem at all
01:56:46rasherChanging the icon won't work if icons are turned off by the way

However the tick-marks used by the A-B-repeat-mode suffer from heavy graphical glitches (they are basically huge [top of the bar down to the corner of the window] inverted triangles. When both ticks are set they are displayed as thin inverted lines)

02:27:37stripwaxwhat's wrong with calling the wps screen the wps screen?

02:28:26stripwaxhm, good point
02:28:44stripwax'the playing screen' ?
02:28:57Mikachuwhy not call it "the wps"?
02:29:01JdGordonI want to move the wps specific code into apps/gui/wps<or something> and have the actual screen code seperate from the buisness logic of the wps engine
02:29:23JdGordonthinking ahead to it being used by other screens like fm and maybe rec
02:30:19*JdGordon actually contemplates using it for drawing simple screens like the top of the time/date screen... save a bunch of code by pushing that logic off to code that exists already
02:30:33stripwaxok so there's the playing screen, the recording screen, the radio screen; all implemented using the "wps logic(tm)" ?
02:31:07stripwaxadmittedly the wps acronym no longer makes sense in that context but it doesn't really need to be renamed
02:31:26SarangJDGordon, that's a great idea!

Think SMARTDRV on DOS! This isn't quite how it's ended up, but might be a useful way to look at it...

08:45:17pondlifeI think it's inevitable that it will end up with non-contigiuous space, but that's why we have the guard buffer and memcpy.

08:46:29pondlifeCodecs and other users can only assume one guard buffer (32K?) will be returned. i.e. a read of less that you wanted doesn't indicate an error or EOF.

09:57:07funmanyou can use current_tick (10ms precision)
09:57:34funmanelse any function available on UNIX (and OSX) & windows
09:57:37 Join Grahack [0] (n=chri@ppp-193.net-62-100-132.static.magiconline.fr)
09:58:26mtThanks. Will try.
09:58:27funmanmt: aren't clock_gettime/gettimeofday more suited?
09:59:35mtfunman : I don't want to get the current time, I want to determine how much time is needed to execute a certain part of the code.
09:59:56funmani would get the current time before and after the code and make the difference
10:00
10:00:18mtI tried in the test program (rm-wav converter) to measure the average time needed for decoding.
10:00:29mtIt's in the order of microseconds
10:00:42funmanclock() is a C89 function so it's more suited i believe
10:01:10funmanand its precision is 1µs
10:02:02mtYes, that's what I used in the test program. I was just asking for something equivalent to it in rockbox, because I couldn't find it in firmware/time.h.
10:02:57mtsorry , firmware/include/time.h
10:03:05funmanthere is nothing that much precise on target, except target-specific timers. If you only need it in the sim then clock() is a good choice
10:06:47mtI'm a bit confused, when using time.h for example in a sim, isn't it the one in firmware/include/ ?
10:09:59funmanperhaps you need to use <time.h> ? firmware/include/time.h has a special case for CHECKWPS
10:11:30mtOK. Thanks :)

13:44:07mtPeople, I want some opinions on this please : I'm trying to measure the speedup gained by using our mdct code vs the current cook mdct code. what I'm doing is just measuring the average decoding time using both mdct's, timing is done by calling clock() before and after decode_frame(), adding up the time till the sample is finished and then dividing by the number of frames.
13:44:51linuxstbmt: Speedups in the sim are not that interesting - you want to know the speedup on target...
13:45:26mtlinuxstb : I thought it would give a rough figure of the speedup on target.
13:45:34linuxstbAlso, this seems like optimising too early - do you have the codec working on target yet?
13:47:18mtNo not yet. I was just changing the code to use rockbox's mdct and thought I'd do this comparison too.
13:47:54mtBut now I'm reminded I shouldn't be really focusing on this now. ;)
13:48:17linuxstb;)
13:49:06linuxstbWhat's more important (IMO) is checking that the output is accurate - e.g. comparing WAVs produced with the two versions.
13:49:11mtI'm going to make a patch soon so you and saratoga (and anyone else who wants to) could be able to see what's going on.
13:49:28mtI see.
13:49:34Torneit's not outside the realm of possibility for the results to be reversed between sim and target performance-wise :)
13:50:05Tornehilarious microoptimised loops behave weirdly when run on radically different architectures to the ones they were written for
13:50:43mtThe results where pretty close on the sim anyway, so I'll just be patient till I have something on target. :)
13:51:34linuxstbIt's also easier to measure things on target, as there's no pre-emptive multi-tasking getting in the way. You just time how long it takes using the system tick.
13:51:45linuxstbtest_codec does that for you...
13:52:31funmanwell there is still the tick_tasks
13:53:18funmanbut test_codec is still accurate
13:53:19linuxstbYes, but I guess they're predictable. i.e. two runs of test_codec should give the same time.
13:54:37mtlinuxstb : by the way, the test program might probably have its copies of rm.[c/h] back. (I don't know if you have seen that in the logs)

14:08:35mtrm.h is needed by the codecs and the parser for the different decalrations. (like RMContext ), but, the only part of rm.c that is actually used by cook (or, later, any rm codec) is the get_packet function. So it's actually just a matter of removing some unneeded code than rewriting it.
14:11:06linuxstbI think I would just the test code into your main.c
14:11:15linuxstb^move the test code
14:11:45linuxstbAnd if possible, use that get_packet function from rm.c

14:19:31linuxstbmt: I think so, yes.
14:20:56linuxstbmt: Although why is there cook-specific data in the RMContext? Is that still needed?
14:23:47mtin cook's init function, it needs to copy some parameters from RMContext.
14:24:14linuxstbI thought those were stored in the "id3" metadata struct?
14:26:15mtI wanted the test program and the codec to use the same cook library. So I copy back RMContext from id3 into a new instance of RMContext and send that to cook's init()
14:27:51mtlinuxstb : I'll try not to do any more 'heavy' modifications and get the patch ready asap for the sake of an easier discussion. :)
14:27:56linuxstbMaybe this test program is just confusing things, and it would be better to forget it (for now at least), and just concentrate on getting it in Rockbox.

15:00:29GrahackHi, I'm playing with the lua plugin on my iPod video and I'm having problems to separate clicks on SELECT and RIGHT. I'm reading the spacerocks.c file which uses rb->button_get(false); and doesn't use the ACTION_STD_... constants, but on the lua side, rb.button_get(false) always returns 0. How can I get distinct codes?
15:01:14Torneif it returns 0 then there's no keys pressed..
15:02:03Torneare you trying to wait for akeypress or just get what keys are pressed at that instant?
15:02:17linuxstbbutton_get() returns a bitmask of the different buttons currently pressed - which is completely different to the "action" API.
15:02:19 Quit barrywardell ()
15:02:39Torneif you want to *wait* for a keypress you need to do rb.button_get(true)
15:02:55Tornepassing false means it returns immediately, so if no button is pressed at that exact moment it will return 0
15:03:06GrahackHere is the lua code I have to test this: http://pastealacon.com/3450 I commented the ACTIONS test and tried rb.get_button
15:03:16Grahackok I'll try with true then
15:03:46Grahackworks with true thanks
15:03:49Torneif you're going to use button_get you don't want to be calling any of the action stuff
15:03:56Torneone or the other
15:04:20Tornespacerocks polls for buttons while it's doing other things (moving the rocks around :)
15:04:23Torneso it doesn't want to block

15:12:46GodEatertry reading the linux source some time. *That's* huge :)
15:13:23GodEaterfinding out how to call something in the rockbox code should be as simple as grepping for the function definition
15:14:02linuxstbGrahack: plugin.c and plugin.h would be the first places to look. And then, as GodEater just said, you can always look for where that function is actually implemented to see exactly what it is doing.

15:16:08Grahackok sorry guys, once again :) and thanks for the answers and explanations
15:16:17GodEaterno problem :D
15:16:28linuxstbNo need to apologise - we're here to help ;)
15:18:50fmlHello. I have a little problem with the "goto wiki page" field (in the top right corner). I visit some wiki pages from time to time. To do that, I just enter the page name into the field and press Enter. If I start to enter the name of a page I visited before, the browser shows a list of visited pages with matching names. I select the desired name in the list (using UP and DOWN) and press TAB to let the list disappe
15:19:46GodEatertry again - we only saw up to "the list disappe"
15:20:07fmlA remedy would be to have a "Go button" right to the input field. Pressing TAB while in the input field would move the focus to that button which, when pressed, would submit the HTML form.
15:20:28fml...ear. But then the input focus seems to have moved somewhere else so that pressing Enter does not take me to that wiki page.
15:20:52GodEaterI would say that's a bug in the browser
15:20:59linuxstbCan't you press other buttons, such as the right cursor, or enter, instead of TAB?
15:21:35GodEaterworks with enter
15:21:59fmllinuxstb: yes, Right works! I'm just used to press TAB in such cases
15:22:36fmlPressing Right leaves the focus in the input field. While pressing TAB not only hides the list but also moves the focus.
15:23:12GrahackAbout the lua plugin, it could be nice to have a kind of repository page for rb-lua apps/demos. Does someone here have some code like this already ?
15:23:29GodEaterdon't think so
15:23:34GodEaterfeel free to start a wiki page for them :D

15:24:27*GodEater wonders if kkurbjun has come to tell us off for being so fearless with our gigabeat flashing
15:24:32LloreanIs target-agnostic lua code easy/likely?
15:24:36kkurbjunhaha
15:24:50kkurbjunNo, technically it should always work
15:24:54GodEaterLlorean: good question
15:24:58kkurbjunthe only problem might be with dual booting
15:25:06GodEaterwho wants to do that ? :)
15:25:08LloreanGodEater: Otherwise more organization than a single page is probably wise.
15:25:19GodEaterindeed
15:25:53linuxstbI guess it could just start as a single page, and then split if needed - something like the WpsGallery used to be.
15:25:58LloreanIdeally I'd have a single page for simple demo scripts that must be target agnostic, and then anything more complex that's useful rather than just a scripting demo should be submitted for inclusion like normal plugins.
15:26:19linuxstbBut I just imagine it being a big table, with one line per lua script, so a single page may be easier to use.
15:26:41linuxstb(with perhaps separate tables for different types of scripts or target groups)
15:26:58gevaertskkurbjun: it does dual booting?
15:27:22GodEatergevaerts: hush. No-one in their right mind would want that. :D
15:27:25linuxstbAre we talking F/X?
15:27:33GodEaterlinuxstb: we are
15:27:38GodEaterwell, F at least
15:27:51linuxstbThen no need to think about or mention dual-boot ;)
15:27:52*GodEater is well impressed with the boot speed of his F now
15:28:16kkurbjunGodEater: the flasher modifies the reset vector which immediately jumps to the rockbox bootloader, as long as there is nothing wrong with the bootloader in memory you should always be able to boot back to rockbox, the only problem might be is in the dual boot. if that original reset vector points to a different address than is coded in the rockbox bootloader then the doal boot function won't work right
15:28:36kkurbjunso far I have not seen a flash image that uses a different reset vector location
15:28:45fmlShouldn't we strive to incapsulate the RB API (for Lua) in such a way that all code is runnable on all targets? Lua should be platform independant IIUC.
15:29:03kkurbjunand with everyone turning up different flash versions I'm wondering if there is something unique to each player stored in flash
15:29:11markunkkurbjun: I also have the bootloader in flash now :)
15:29:20linuxstbfml: Yes, but it would still need the script author to take account of differences. Although #ifs will be runtime ifs.
15:29:31gevaertsmarkun: you still need to upload your backup.bin and md5!
15:29:38kkurbjunIt should work on the X too, but I've never seen a flash image for one
15:29:39markungevaerts: can do that now
15:29:43kkurbjunmarkun: nice
15:30:12fmllinuxstb: I mean, all this stuff should be #if'ed in the wrappers.
15:30:18kkurbjunYou can dual boot by holding menu while pressing power
15:30:19Lloreanfml: Hardware's too different to be able to ensure all scripts work everywhere without developers doing some of the work.
15:30:27kkurbjunand it should follow the OF boot routine
15:31:01GodEaterkkurbjun: assuming you didn't do as gevaerts did, and delete the GBSYSTEM folder ? :)
15:31:05kkurbjunthe main reason I wanted to dual boot is so that I could use the gigabeat to copy pictures from my camera
15:31:13fmlLlorean: couldn't we agree on some standard Lua API and implement that API for all platforms? I.e. drawing color lines on b/w platforms would produce grey lines
15:31:18kkurbjunGodEater: :), yes
15:31:25Lloreanfml: And what about buttons? Do we just limit the number of buttons they get?
15:31:28GodEaterfml: what about different screen sizes ?
15:31:36LloreanLines can only be within a 112x64 range because that's our smallest screen?
15:31:42gevaertsGodEater: I was using the dummy gbsystem before anyway :)
15:31:51GodEatergevaerts: I think I was too :)
15:31:59LloreanYou *could* make sure Lua scripts would be universal, but it would be very restrictive of them./
15:32:01GodEaterlike I said, I'm not in any way interested in dual boot
15:32:06markungevaerts: where should I upload my files?
15:32:16fmlLlorean, GodEater: procentual coordinates? Or virtual screen (i.e. always 1000x1000)?
15:32:17gevaertsmarkun: FS #7505
15:32:29Lloreanfml: Doesn't work for use of bitmapped graphics. So we ban those?
15:32:33 Quit kachna|lappy (Success)
15:32:46PaulJamyou forget the charcell displays. lines shouldn't be possible at all ;)
15:32:50fmlLlorean: we can scale those
15:33:13GodEateryou still didn't cover buttons
15:33:14fmlPaulJam: that calls would translate to NOP on those platforms
15:33:20Lloreanfml: So we force bad graphics and slowdown. But even ignoring that. Buttons?
15:33:50LloreanPaulJam: Does hwcodec even run Lua?
15:33:55LloreanSomehow I guessed it'd be a larger plugin.
15:33:58fmlI just thought that we have enough hell with #if in C and could get rid of that in Lua.
15:34:34Lloreanfml: I think if it were possible to get rid of it in Lua, we'd have gotten rid of it for the C plugins too.
15:34:51LloreanBy providing a library that makes it unneeded in the actual plugins, for example.
15:35:45markungevaerts, kkurbjun: ok, uploaded my files. Don't know if they are the same as some of the other ones
15:35:54PaulJamLlorean: i must admit i havent really looked at the lua stuff. i have no idea if it runs on hwcodec.
15:36:06fmlLlorean: maybe. How does it work now? Are there some predefined magic objects (e.g. LCD) for testing the HW capabilities?
15:36:10kkurbjunLlorean: I think with some clever thought quite a few of the target specific stuff could be removed in the plugins
15:36:15GodEaterI don't think it does run on hwcodec
15:36:59kkurbjunbrickmania is one good example, scaled graphics on the targets would not loose much information for the user, they are just blocks that could be linearly scaled for most of the targets
15:37:07Lloreankkurbjun: Yes, but keymaps and use of the screen are always going to be target specific (though the screen can be generalized if performance and graphics quality isn't an issue)
15:37:14kkurbjunand then the positions of the text and menus could be relatively placed
15:37:28Lloreanfml: "testing"?
15:37:59fmlLlorean: like "if LCD.width > 1000 then blah"
15:38:40kkurbjunyes, keymaps will be specific more plugins could use the pluginlib buttons though which would make supporting new targets and screens less of a PITA
15:39:24Lloreanfml: Isn't that essentially the same as #ifs anyway, just doing it runtime instead?
15:39:32kkurbjungetting 640x480 and 480x640 working on the M:robe 500 takes alot of time to scale the graphics and make sure the hard coded positions are right, etc.
15:40:00kkurbjunso at the moment I'm looking at potentially changing brickmania around, but there's a ton of plugins that are similar
15:40:05fmlLlorean: yes, it's the same. Is this the way it must be done now?
15:40:34kkurbjunmarkun: thanks for uplaoding those
15:40:40fmlI mean, is the advantage of Lua just in avoiding write-compile cycle?
15:40:55Lloreanfml: As far as I know, there are defines for LCD width and LCD height, plugins usually test those early on to determine which images to use, as well as where to position them
15:40:56kkurbjunI need to take a look at the different images and see where the differences are
15:40:59markunkkurbjun: do you think we'll ever have a sleep mode?
15:41:20Lloreanfml: That's always going to be the advantage of lua. That and being another language people can learn instead of C.
15:41:34kkurbjunthat would be nice, but it will take quite a bit of code for rockbox to support it
15:41:52LloreanIdeally any problem we could solve in the Lua wrappers to make programs need less ifs is a problem we could also solve in the plugin libraries to make plugins need less #ifs
15:42:03fmlLlorean: so the goal was not to avoid the target specific code? Then I'm ok with it.
15:42:07kkurbjunsince you need to account for conditions where other devices need to be re-initialized, but rockbox itself can just resume from where it left off
15:42:09Grahackplease where can I find constants like BUTTON_LEFT (rb.buttons.BUTTON_LEFT?) as there is rb.actions.ACTION_NONE ? I think they are not exposed to lua.
15:42:17linuxstbkkurbjun: sleep mode is also needed for the 1g/2g (original big bars of soap) ipods as well, so it's generally useful...
15:42:25kkurbjunamiconn had some ideas on how to do a sleep mode
15:42:26linuxstbBut yes, it's far from trivial.
15:43:57kkurbjunsleep mode is something I would like to look at someday, but I have enough to do already with the M:robe 500 and eventually getting that flash writer in SVN
15:44:18linuxstbGrahack: It looks like they're not.... They're defined in a target-specific way in the button-target.h file for your device (under firmware/target/)
15:47:07 Quit fml ("Bye")
15:47:19Grahackmmf, here is the first lua cross-target issue I meet
15:48:13linuxstbYes, buttons will be tricky. The cross-target way will be to use actions, but they're very limited.
15:51:52Tornei don't think lua makes any effort to export target-specific constnats at all atm
15:53:01linuxstbThere are some - LCD_WIDTH and LCD_HEIGHT
15:53:33Tornethat actually exists on all targets, though, i guess :)
15:54:09CIA-71New commit by funman (r21477): Sansa AMS debug: small fixes ...
15:54:37linuxstbTorne: Yes. What kind of things do you mean then?
15:55:13linuxstbI guess we need things like:
15:55:16linuxstb#ifdef BUTTON_MENU
15:55:20Torneyeah..
15:55:54linuxstband then define that to be a constant containing the value of BUTTON_MENU or (e.g.) 0 if it's not defined.
15:56:09Torneeurgh. :(
15:56:35Tornebutton mapping appears to be a perpetual issue for everything :)
15:57:15LloreanIf your plugin can survive with just up, down, left, right and select it shouldn't be a problem. :-P
15:57:35LloreanDisclaimer: May not hold true on Ondio
15:57:49linuxstbAnd things like "up+left" may work on some targets, but not others...

16:00:28GrahackOn iPod left and right are ACTION_STD_CANCEL and ACTION_STD_OK, and the select button is also ACTION_STD_OK, so these two last are coupled. That's why Iinvestigated thorough the buttons code

16:01:17Torneyah, the actions lib tries to map buttons to what they generally do in the main rockbox ui
16:01:26Tornethe above is what they mostly do there. :)
16:01:38TBOL3Dumb question, how can I unsubscribe to the rockbox mailing list? I've tried going to the unsubscribe button, and it claims it sends me a conformation email, but I don't get it.
16:01:52TBOL3The next day, I get the rockbox updates, on schedule.
16:02:01GodEaterTBOL3: did you check your spam folder ?
16:02:18TBOL3Also, when clicking on send me my password (I don't remember making one), I still don't get anything.

18:47:00HillshumDoes battery_bench fully drain the battery or end with some left to prevent damage?
18:47:42linuxstbI would expect it to drain until Rockbox's normal low-battery shutdown happens.
18:48:10gevaertsbattery_bench doesn't care. It just logs things
18:48:19Tornegenerally the hardware makes it impossible to drain the battery to the point of damage anyway
18:48:26Torneunless you explicitly go and program the power controller wrong
18:48:40bertrikTorne, that depends on the specific target I think
18:48:54Tornewell, yes.
18:49:05HillshumOn the Clip, when's the shutoff point?
18:49:06bertrikok, you said "generally"
18:49:15Tornebut generally it's true :)
18:49:31bertrikHillshum, I'll look it up
18:49:35Tornepower controllers rarely need software control to prevent li-ion fires
18:49:50Tornethat's a bit of an extreme tradeoff between cheapness and safety :)
18:50:18bertrikHillshum, it shuts down at 3.3V

18:52:47HillshumCan that damage the battery?
18:52:49bertrikthe discharge curve is from 3.3V (0%) to 4.14V (100%)
18:53:07Hillshumthe other direction though
18:53:29LloreanHillshum: The whole point of cutoffs like that is to insure the battery *isn't* damaged
18:53:56HillshumSo it won't go too low?
18:54:46LloreanIsn't that answered by my previous sentence?
18:55:45Hillshumjust making sure (yes, it was implied)
18:55:48bertrikHillshum, the sansa hardware shuts down when the battery voltage is < 2.7V

19:02:17bertrikmarkun, for the interrupts on the meizu m3, we can keep using the "default_interrupt" macro and don't need to create a "handled_interrupt" macro or something
19:03:05bertrikI think the "weak" attribute maps the interrupt to the default UIRQ, but allows other modules to override it

19:07:47markunhow do you assign another function to it?
19:08:14bertrikI didn't, I just declare a function called TIMERA_INT
19:08:34bertrikINT_TIMERA rather
19:09:59markunbertrik: what do you want to get working now? USB? Then maybe we can dump the NAND to a file and start on the FTL driver
19:11:00bertrikI thought about doing the RTC driver, it should be very easy to get that running
19:11:13bertriknot very useful though
19:11:53markunbertrik: I remember someone wrote code for it, might be in the tracker or maybe on my PC somewhere
19:12:07bertrikradio and communication with the codec would be nice too, to see if we can get some audio out of it
19:13:07markunI don't know why communication over i2c didn't work. Probably something stupid.
19:13:39bertrikUSB just looks quite complicated to get working to me
19:14:25markunaccording to gevaerts it shouldn't be too much work. Most of the code is there.
19:15:00markunbtw, the meizu's have 2 RTC. Don't know why.
19:15:16markunMaybe the internal one doesn't get power when the device is off
19:16:06bertrikor maybe it took too much power, IIRC the dedicated external ones generally use less current

19:23:59Blue_DudeAll right. I've been working on this thing for a couple of weeks and it looks ready for public criticism: FS #10375. It adds a transparent lookahead buffer to the DSP functions to allow a process to look into the future and process current samples referring to future samples. Any comments gratefully accepted.

19:52:12Blue_DudeThe attack buffer is integrated with the DSP process, and holds back 512 samples during processing. So yes, it's before the PCM buffer.

19:54:17saratogaso far no, but i probably haven't gotten rid of all of them yet
19:55:32stripwaxBlue_Dude - in what cases do you need to look at future samples? (is it equivalent to holding back past samples and outputting only when the future samples become present?)
19:55:55saratogaunfortunately, cook uses the new staticly defined huffman decode that ffmpeg added after i forked wma, while wma uses the old dynamic way but hacked to allocate into fixed buffers
19:56:12saratogaso i can't just drop cook's files into wma without changing how huffman decoding works
19:59:29Blue_Dudestripwax: I intend it for a DSP process I'm writing. I need to implement an attack function and the only way to do that is look ahead for a bit. And you're exactly right, it only let's through samples when the attack buffer is full and more samples come in. But the buffer is so much smaller than the PCM buffer that it is imperceptible.

20:56:09Tornedo most targets use the hold switch for dual boot and/or resetting settings? (assuming they have one)
20:56:28Torneor is that just ipods?
20:56:33linuxstbTorne: No, most don't. The ipods only do because that's the only button we can reliably detect at boot.
20:56:56Torneah
20:57:03Tornei was wondering because i'd rather like it not to do that ;)
20:57:22Tornethe ipod bootloader goes to OF if you hold down menu to power on..
20:57:31Tornei've not noticed that being unreliable but i've not done it often :)
20:57:38Mikachui have a patch that doesn't reset settings with hold on if the phones are plugged in
20:57:53Tornewell yah i can do a patch for it myself pretty trivially :)
20:58:00Tornei was just wondering why it was like that
20:58:29linuxstbTorne: I think it depends on the user... Lots of people complained that MENU wasn't working for them, so hold was added as an option

21:00:46Tornethe alarm timer that you mentioned, combined with me accidentallybooting OF by turning hold on too early
21:01:34Torne..talking of that, does rockbox already know about the alarm timer?
21:01:51Torneif so it would be fairly easy to check if it was already set to test if that theory was correct..
21:03:20Mikachuyou can set a wakeup time from rockbox, if that's what you mean
21:03:34soapthat's a neat trick, Mikachu, (headphones + hold = no reset)
21:04:02Mikachusoap: yeah, since you often want those two properties to be true while having it in your pocket

21:04:42Torneactually i say "you mentioned" but iirc that was dreamlayers actually
21:04:54Torneso i'm probably talking to the wrong person
21:05:01Mikachu:)
21:05:06soapan issue I see, though, (perhaps a minor one) is that I would consider the settings reset to be a basic core function, and complicating it makes it less reliable. How sturdy is the headphone-detect switch?
21:06:01Tornewell, i was just going to patch my build to not have settings reset at all
21:06:03Torne:)
21:06:07Tornesince i have no use for that

21:09:16Mikachui know i fiddled a lot with this, for example if hold was on, but the usb is in, it booted OF instead
21:09:27Torneah
21:09:29Mikachui haven't updated my bootloader in those two years :)
21:10:05Tornei only boot of because i haven't gotten around to testing the dma patches yet

21:12:40Torneyah, that's what i have too, Horscht
21:12:46stripwaxHorscht - EDM is USB1.1 for me I think, but more recent OF versions improve that (but I never upgraded by ipod OF)
21:13:00stripwaxBut I find rockbox >> EDM
21:13:04Tornefor me EDM is still faster than rockbox
21:13:08Tornebut not as fast as OF

21:20:02Horschtwell, Torne. my ipod still charges, but the drive drains the battery faster than the usb port charges...
21:20:10Torneyah
21:20:12Horschti can make my own build, thanks :)
21:20:18Tornei've got the current measuring patch as well and tested it in various combinations
21:20:23Torneso i'm pretty sure it works
21:20:55Horschti think i might give it a shot... later... bookmarked, though
21:20:55Tornethe concern about it being committed is potentially overloading accessories and htings i think
21:21:15Torneapple have *some* kind of way for a device attached to the dock port to signal how much power it can deliver
21:21:19Mikachucould you not throttle disk writes when battery level is under some threshold?
21:21:22Torneand the patch doesn't pay any attention to that
21:21:34TorneMikachu: the problem is that current ipod builds only charge from usb at 100mA
21:21:34Horscht"overloading accesories"... that sounds bad. I have an alarm clock i plug my ipod into every night (via dock)
21:21:48TorneHorscht: tat would be a good data point for the patch
21:21:53Mikachuwhy does what it does with usb affect what it does with accessories?
21:22:06Tornethe usb-power-present thing is what's used to trigger charging
21:22:14Tornesome accessories might activate that
21:22:28Tornebut not have sufficient regulation to prevent themselves being damaged by the ipod pulling 500mA
21:22:30Horschtwell, my alarm clock charges the ipod, that's for sure.
21:22:38Mikachuah, accessories that also provide the ipod with power?
21:22:50TorneMikachu: accessories that are not *intending* to provide the ipod with power
21:22:56Mikachuwhen you use the word accessory, i think of something that draws power, not gives it :)
21:22:57Tornebut may be doing so somewhat unwillingly :)
21:22:58Horschtso... my alarm clock might break/melt/catch fire?
21:23:03Tornemaybe.
21:23:05Torneit's just a theory
21:23:10Tornenobody has any evidence that this will happen
21:23:14Torneit's just a concern :)
21:23:23Mikachucan't you make it an option for now, with some appropriate big flashing red warning?
21:23:27HorschtI will give it a shot then. I hope it won't burst into flames.

21:24:05Tornenamely, when using the apple power brick
21:24:15MikachuHorscht: you don't need an accessory for that, you can set wakeup from inside rockbox, have it plugged into usb, and connect your speakers to the ipod
21:24:17Tornewhich provides loads of current on the usb pins, but no data connection
21:24:29Horschti don't have speakers...
21:24:32Horschtanyways.
21:24:46Mikachuoh, weird :)
21:24:50Tornei think apple's power brick provides particular inputs on the usb data pins to tell the ipod that it's a mains charger and it can draw as much as it wants
21:24:57Torneand other accessories may do similar things
21:24:59Horschtdid anyone ever measure what power the OF pulls?
21:25:01Tornebut we don't have a spec for that
21:25:11Tornei think so, ther eare various numbers on the FS#
21:25:11Horschtbecause I doubt it only pulls 100mA
21:25:15Torneno, it doesn't
21:25:21Mikachuif you want to make an ipod accessory, do you get specs from apple or do you just guess?
21:25:21Tornebut the point is they might be using additional logic to decide
21:25:28Tornethere are specs you can buy from apple
21:25:38Tornesome manufacturers just guess, though, undoubtedly
21:25:40Torne:)
21:25:51Horschtwell... can't one just measure it?
21:26:02Tornewhat do you mean?
21:26:24Horschtby some voltmeter inbetween the charger and the ipod?
21:26:29Torneit's been measured
21:26:37Tornebut my point is that's not enough to know for sure we're doing the right thing
21:26:45Horschtah
21:26:48Horschti see
21:26:51Tornethe OF charges at 500mA after negotiating USB with a host pc, or when plugged into a mains plug
21:27:00Tornebut we don't know *how* it decides that that's ok in the latter case
21:27:13Tornethe suspicion is the mains plug sets certain voltages on D+ and D- to tell it what to do
21:27:16Mikachuand we don't know for sure it's a host pc in the first case either?
21:27:29TorneMikachu: it's some kind of usb host in that case
21:27:36Tornebut it may not be a PC with proper regulators :)
21:27:40soapHorscht, I believe the questing is: "Is there an Apple commandment Rockbox doesn't know which says 'As an accessory manufacturer, if you don't want the iPod to pull 500ma you can drop xOhm across pins y and z and the iPod will only pull 100'"
21:27:45Torneit might be a smart dock that uses the ipod as a disk
21:27:53Tornewhich may be cheaply made and not regulate properly, assuming the ipod will do it for it
21:27:56soap*question
21:28:01Horschtah, i see
21:28:05Tornesoap: yes. that's much better put. thanks ;)
21:28:27Mikachudoes rockbox stop charging when the battery is full, or does the hardware handle that?
21:28:41AlexPDepends on which target I think
21:28:47Mikachuipods :)
21:29:04soapdifferent ipods have different charging circuits.
21:29:12Tornethe ipodvideo is hardware regulated
21:29:15Tornedunno about others
21:29:15soapIIRC they are all HW chargers, though.
21:29:20Torneyou just set bits to turn things on and off
21:29:29Tornethere's just a bit you set that controls 100mA vs 500mA, for this patch
21:29:46Mikachusomeone was concerned the other week that rockbox would overcharge the battery and destroy it
21:30:00soapcould happen on SW charging devices.
21:30:09HorschtTorne, can I set that "on the fly", i.e. is there a setting in the debug menu for example?
21:30:35Horschtor is it a bit in the source?
21:30:40Tornethere's a setting in the regular battery options that says "enable full power usb charging" or similar
21:30:48Torneif you turn that off it behaves as without the patch
21:30:52Horschtah, i see
21:30:56Horschtthat's nice.

21:32:03Horschtit's ok. it's right next to my head
21:32:16Horschti will notice when it's suddenly all bright in the room

21:57:31gevaertsunfortunately, if you do that, people complain
21:57:34Torneand the OF keeps the lcd on while charging too, so it draws most of that just to power itself and barely charges
21:57:39BryanJacobsI never read the USB specs, I just reasoned "if the computer can provide fast charging while it's on it should provide fast charging while off too"
21:58:02BryanJacobsit doesn't have to keep the LCD on... you can click "sleep" and then it doesn't

22:08:28BryanJacobswhat will this do to things like car chargers?
22:08:35Tornewe're not sure
22:08:37BryanJacobstheir inverters might not like high current
22:08:38Tornethat's why it needs testing
22:08:42Torne:)
22:08:57Torneit works fine for PCs and for the Apple mains adapter.
22:09:00Torneanything else is unknown
22:09:06BryanJacobshmm, sounds like danger pay - give me double my normal salary and I'll start next week!
22:11:23saratogapretty sure the inverter in a car can handle a 500mA ipod if it can start a 100 Amp car engine
22:11:37Horschtzero times two is how much nowadays?
22:11:38saratogaerr not start, but sustain
22:11:38BryanJacobsI meant the AC/DC transformer
22:11:51BryanJacobsHorscht: exactly :-D
22:12:14BryanJacobsthat's still called an "inverter" these days, right?
22:12:24BryanJacobsthe thing that takes car power DC and converts into wall-plug AC
22:14:02soapevery charger I've tried works fine with the unrequested 500ma.

22:14:51 Join stripwax [0] (n=Miranda@87-194-34-169.bethere.co.uk)
22:15:14soapthe concerns I've heard raised are regarding accessories (a big unknown) and situations like hubs, where one 500ma device might not break the current bank, but multiple devices on the hub and you're talking real juice.
22:15:17saratogausually a car charger then has a voltage regulator that steps that down to 5v
22:15:20gevaertsI'm not worried about dedicated chargers being unable to supply 500mA. The problem is other devices that do USB host, and hubs
22:15:49saratogai doubt any accessory can't suppy 500mA safely
22:15:53saratogathats not very much power at all
22:15:58BryanJacobsI suppose I could test against my old Zaurus, a USBotG host
22:16:15BryanJacobsif anything's going to fail that'd be it
22:16:19Tornewell the problem is not *testing* so much
22:16:31Tornethere almost certainly *is* a device out there, somewhere on earth, which it will asplode.
22:16:32soapwhat would be the point of failure? The voltage regulator?
22:16:42Tornethe proble is knowing if apple have a magic method to prevent this that we should've implemented
22:16:44saratogai think the only place you really have a risk is when you have multiple devices on an unpowered hub
22:16:55Torneand the only way to find that out is really to reverse it or to get a copy of the accessory spec ;)
22:16:55saratogahow does the USB spec intend to deal with that situation?
22:17:15Tornesaratoga: USB hubs are generally expected not to have enough ports for that to go wrong
22:17:17soapwon't a PC shut off the port if it pulls more than spec?
22:17:20Torneif they are unpowered.
22:17:31gevaertsIf we find a USB data connection, we ask. Easy. If we don't, it gets complicated. This could be a charger, but it could also be something that can only supply 100mA and a broken cable
22:17:40BryanJacobsTorne: you can chain hubs and get problems, I knew a guy who did that
22:17:49TorneBryanJacobs: not if the hubs are implemented properly
22:17:57Tornean unpowered hub should only really be giving its children 100mA each
22:18:02Torneand the second hub should know that the first hub said that
22:18:07Torneso it should in turn probably just refuse to operate :)
22:18:21gevaertsexactly. I don't see chained hubs as a problem
22:18:32gevaertshm,..
22:18:42Tornebasically we should be fine doing the obvious thing for things that actually have a USB data connection
22:18:44gevaertsWhat if you have hubs that don't have power switching?
22:18:49BryanJacobsthis guy had a Pertelian that would brighten or dim based on how many things were plugged into the upstream hub
22:18:58Torneif the host said we can draw 500mA and we do and itt fails it's not our fault really.
22:19:05Torneit's things *without* the data connection that's the issue..
22:19:41Horschthow much are the specs to buy from apple? :p
22:20:04gevaertsTorne: we could take the easy way, and do what the iriver h300 firmware does (and also rockbox on h300), i.e. make it a setting
22:20:17Tornewell the patch does make it a setting
22:20:20gevaertsHorscht: apple can't solve this problem either. They also have to guess
22:20:38Torneer, but we have reasont o believe they don't guess, no?
22:20:52Tornethere was some suggestion somewhere that the D+ and D- pins are used to signal it
22:20:59Tornebut we don't know exactly how
22:21:04LloreanTorne: But that would only work with Apple accessories, right?
22:21:08saratogagevaerts: i am skeptical that powered devices exist that cannot supply 500mA
22:21:09LloreanSo they still have to guess everywhere else.
22:21:11soapapple can solve the problem if they have a spec which says "thou shall set dock pin X high if you can't give 500 or suffer the consequences."
22:21:16Torne'everywhere else'?
22:21:21gevaertssaratoga: can the h300 supply it?
22:21:22Tornethe probelm is already solved for real usb hosts
22:21:25TorneUSB itself solves it
22:21:36Torneand if people don't implement their hosts properly that's not apple's problem any more than it is ours
22:21:37saratogagevaerts: ?
22:21:46gevaertssaratoga: it does USB host
22:22:03Torneand if apple's system defaults to 100mA then it's unlikely that some random device would accidentally do the right magic with D-D+ to trigger fast charging
22:22:07saratogadoes it supply any power at all?
22:22:09BryanJacobsthis is why I was going to test my Zaurus - it's about the smallest device I know that does USB host
22:22:12Tornethis is all speculation, though
22:22:20Tornei have no personal knowledge of this, just going by random stuff from the internet :0

22:34:21Tornethat's exactly the problem :)
22:34:22saratogaread last clause of sentence
22:34:24gevaertsThere are two main cases there I think. Chargers, and 500mA really shouldn't be a problem at all, and normal USB ports that don't negotiate for whatever reason (software issues, slightly broken hardware,...)
22:34:41LloreanA lot of chargers with USB-style plugs provide 1000mA
22:34:44LloreanDo any provide less than 500?
22:34:50saratogano
22:35:06*Llorean seems to also recall 6V ones.
22:35:09Tornesaratoga: and the evidence for this? :)
22:35:19saratogathey'd blow up if anyone tried to use them
22:35:27gevaertsThose would be broken by design

22:35:34Lloreansaratoga: Unless they came with something, and said "Don't use them with anything else"
22:35:35Torneand thus would only plug into ipods
22:35:46Torneand signalled to the ipod in a way we don't have docs for
22:35:49saratoga"USB-style plugs"
22:35:49LloreanI mean, people regularly plug the Nokia charger into the H100 and break it
22:36:00Tornesaratoga: but they might not be
22:36:10Torneit might be anything that attaches to the dock connector and powers the usb 5v pin
22:36:12gevaertsLlorean: most people only do that once though
22:36:18LloreanI guess the real question boils down to "do we try to be safe with everything you can throw at it, or make the assumption that people won't try to use it with strange chargers"
22:36:39gevaertsI vote for using the h300 way. Provide a setting, and default to 100mA
22:36:47Lloreanif it's the latter, the proposed solution is already good enough because we don't really need to worry about non-USB <500mA device, or at least shouldn't.
22:36:47saratogaa user can always disable any overcurrent protection you try to design if they really want
22:36:54gevaertsexcept of course for real USB connections
22:36:55saratogawe should assume they know what they're doing when they plug in a charger
22:37:06Tornegevaerts: i'm not sure if the patch currently does do that
22:37:13Lloreangevaerts: So default to 100, but try to negotiate, and do 500 if we can regardless of setting?
22:37:25TorneLlorean: the slight issue there is it's not really a negotiation
22:37:27BryanJacobsgevaerts: "most people only do that once"?!
22:37:32 Part Grahack
22:37:33Torneyou say "i want 500mA"
22:37:38Tornethe host says "sod off then"
22:37:40Torneyou now can't connect
22:37:43gevaertsLlorean: yes. If the host tells us that 500mA is OK, and it isn't, well, there's nothing we can do
22:37:43BryanJacobshow many people break their H100 twice the same way? :-P
22:37:51LloreanTorne: Well, by "negotiating" I mean "doing whatever it is USB devices are supposed to do to get 500 from a real host"
22:37:52Torneyou have to actually tear down the usb connection and then start over to re-request with a lower current
22:37:57Tornewhich we don't have code for
22:37:59gevaertsBryanJacobs: there is such a thing as getting anew one :)
22:38:11Torneand thus if someone's host port was *actually working* and reporting it can't provide enough, USB mass storage stops working
22:38:13saratogait breaks the charger or the mp3 player
22:38:14LloreanTorne: But we're open source, so such code can be invented.

22:38:35 Join Horscht [0] (n=Horscht2@xbmc/user/horscht)
22:38:40LloreanBut we're discussing what the patch needs too, since that's part of "can it be used now?"
22:38:50Torneok. so it'd probably be nice if it did do that. :)
22:39:18Tornebut it's not fatal if it doesn't
22:39:19gevaertsit would be nice, but not required I think
22:39:22HorschtTorne, you mentioned a setting which woul allow me to select the current...
22:39:22Tornebecause you can just disable the charging setting
22:39:23Torneand plug in again.
22:39:26Horschti can't find it
22:39:30*Llorean is pretty sure apple claims the iPod won't work on low-power ports on their website.
22:39:41TorneLlorean: rockbox currently does work on low power ports, though
22:39:55*gevaerts wishes that people would stop talking about ipods. This is a general problem!
22:40:04LloreanTorne: Rockbox currently doesn't charge at all.
22:40:06saratogaback in the day apple would provide you with a dock connector that could plug into a USB port and an AC wall socket
22:40:08TorneLlorean: yes it does
22:40:16TorneLlorean: it charges at 100mA minus the power tit takes RB to idle
22:40:18LloreanNot on the iPod.
22:40:19Tornewhich is about 60mA or so
22:40:22saratogathus side stepping the issue neatly
22:40:24Tornei've measured it
22:40:29HorschtLlorean, it does, but not if you transfer files
22:40:30Torneit charges extremely slowly if the ipod is idle
22:40:36Torneand discharges if you are using the disk.
22:40:49LloreanIt depends on your settings
22:40:56Tornewell yes.
22:41:00LloreanMany people have it set to turn the backlight on if plugged in, which I imagine negates that.
22:41:02Tornebut it *tries* to charge
22:41:04LloreanSo perhaps "it doesn't reliably charge"

22:41:32*gevaerts thinks that the patch is fine as it is, in the sense that more can be added later, except for the questions about suitability for all ipods
22:41:34BryanJacobsLlorean: it does charge, it just usually discharges more
22:41:37Lloreangevaerts: I thought the problem was really just iPods (in terms of the patch under discussion)
22:41:39 Join Thundercloud [0] (i=thunderc@persistence.flat.devzero.co.uk)
22:41:40Tornegevaerts: yes, i would agree
22:41:46Torneit should be fine for ipodvideo, at least
22:41:50LloreanBryanJacobs: "Charging" is a net effect. It draws power, but still discharges.
22:42:11BryanJacobsI viewed "charging" as a gross effect
22:42:16TorneHorscht: settings, general, system, battery, charge during usb connection
22:42:24*soap has had issues getting the patch _and_ battery bench to work at the same time.
22:42:26gevaertsLlorean: yes and no. The patch is about enabling charging on ipods. It doesn't address behaviour when no USB connection is there, and that's a general issue
22:42:35Horschtmh...
22:43:01LloreanBryanJacobs: You could view it as "the iPod draws 90% of its power from teh cable, and 10% from the battery" mentally as well, as opposed to "100% goes into the battery, but then a bit more than that comes right back out"
22:43:02Torneor the general issue of what if the host says no to 500mA
22:43:22Lloreangevaerts: Well, the Sansa's apparently getting away with whatever our current behaviour is without problems? Can't we just mirror that?
22:43:22Horschthm... no menu entry there... Gonna rebuild later
22:43:29TorneHorscht: oh, er
22:43:35TorneHorscht: you need to edit config-ipodvideo.h as well
22:43:40Horschtah
22:43:42Torneto add the "i have usb charging" feature
22:43:46Tornethat's not in the patch
22:43:47BryanJacobsLlorean: except that view doesn't describe what's actually happening
22:43:51gevaertsLlorean: that will happen once the patch is in
22:43:51Torneit says in teh FS# though
22:44:05Lloreangevaerts: I didn't think the Sansas had a menu option.
22:44:06BryanJacobslaptop batteries heat up when the laptop is plugged in
22:44:36*gevaerts turns off the music. He can't think properly
22:44:55LloreanBryanJacobs: It depends on how the hardware is hooked up. Sometimes current goes into the battery first, then out and into the player. Sometimes it doesn't. I don't know what order it happens in the iPods. Can you turn yours on with the battery disconnected?
22:45:00gevaertsThere are about seventeen different behaviours by different players right now
22:45:48BryanJacobsLlorean: dunno, but after running dry it won't turn on for a while plugged in, so survey says all power flows through the battery
22:45:59gevaertsand I think all of them are wrong in some way

22:46:50gevaertsThe beast charges when USB is connected and the host OKs the 500mA, but not in any other conditions (i.e. not on a pure USB charger)
22:47:03gevaertsThe sansas always charge (I think)
22:47:07LloreanBryanJacobs: Have you tried menu+select reset to try to boot it? I've never had problems booting it, at least up until Rockbox checks the battery level, decides it's too low, and immediately shuts back down.
22:47:09gevaertsThe ipods never charge
22:47:40BryanJacobsLlorean: never tried that, but it does go on on its own after a while in OF
22:47:51TorneBryanJacobs: yah, you may be encountering the *other* problem with booting the ipod, the whole hard-reset-needed thing
22:48:01Tornewhich there is also a patch for which needs testing/work, incidentally ;)
22:48:40Lloreangevaerts: Speaking of the Beast - can we do anything about the USB charging capabilities while off or is that something we'd have to reflash for (if you even know)?
22:48:53*Llorean just wonders if it's about the state we leave the hardware in at shutdown, or something else.

22:50:37LloreanThat's my least favorite thing about the Beast. If it's "low" (which can mean at 70% on some days) you can't boot without the real charger attached

23:08:08LloreanI was wondering if there was a way to leave it "waiting" for a USB charge too when we shut down, or something.

23:33:50GodEaterno-one did
23:34:16GodEaterhe seems very full of clue
23:35:44LloreanI did see the nomination. I'm not sure why I didn't comment. I remember at one point not entirely feeling confident in him, but looking back through his posts I can't seem to see what would've made that happen.
23:35:59AlexPSeems fine to me
23:36:19GodEaterhe seems clueful about the H10

23:36:30AlexPNobody else is
23:36:42LloreanAt the time, I wanted experts to be people who were trying to help about everything, when they had time.
23:36:45LloreanThat may have been it.
23:37:08*GodEater thinks that the time for generalists, if not already over, is rapidly approaching
23:37:14GodEaterwe have SO many targets coming up now
23:37:25LloreanThe goal (for me) wasn't to have "many" but to have a very high degree of confidence when they got involved.
23:37:30GodEaterI wouldn't care to try to advise on anything AMS based at the moment
23:37:31AlexPI think that as long as they don't talk rubbish about others, it isn't so important if they just stick to their area
23:37:34LloreanBut definitely now, generalists are less useful.
23:37:56LloreanThe key should always be, they need to be people who won't give advice unless it has a high degree of confidence.

23:52:59LloreanI think
23:53:41JdGordon|notlistening: that would be difficult because i dont think the fm audio goes through the software dsp at all... it goes stright to the headphones

23:54:46JdGordon|well in that case.... /me shuts up
23:54:55*Llorean isn't sure though, as it is a bit unclear
23:55:29notlisteningyeah an increase in pitch to indicate you position in the frequency range
23:56:19LloreanIt'd still be wildly inaccurate. I'm not sure it'd be terribly useful.
23:56:37LloreanA button to "read" the station name to you is probably better.
23:56:48LloreanJust tune until something is coming in, then press the button to read it to find out what you've landed at.
23:57:06Mikachuyou would have to have perfect pitch to know what it is :)
23:57:29notlisteningyeah but to have an idea where you are helps a lot trust me, blind users are not so much into precision at times in the ball park usually does
23:57:41Lloreannotlistening: What does it help with?
23:57:59Mikachulike you know something is around 104?
