00:04:54domonokyCasainho_: by default rockbox touchscreen is in grid mode, you virtual (invisible grid of buttons on the screen). up /down etc, if you change to absolute mode, you can just touch the list elements, to select something.

00:13:51 Quit faemir (Read error: 110 (Connection timed out))
00:14:32gevaertstomers: I'm not sure. Normally global_settings shouldn't be used in firmware/. There's probably another common way to handle this sort of thing, but I don't know (maybe a callback in firmware/ that gets called when the setting is loaded/set?)
00:15:18gevaertstomers: did you see my patch in FS #10666? That one should have the logic for the actual disable right

00:19:16gevaertstomers: I think the setting should be separate from the keypad mode. People are working on other drivers as well (MTP), and we'll need settings for each device class then anyway
00:19:51*gevaerts has never done settings code. Probably someone else can say what the proper way to do firmware/ settings is
00:21:27 Quit bmbl ("Bye!")
00:21:34gevaertsMaybe we can rework the usb.c logic a bit so the settings code can call usb_core_enable_driver() directly?
00:22:09gevaertsthat gets in the way of the charge-only handling a bit of course

00:24:16 Quit dfkt ("-= SysReset 2.53=- Ph'nglui mglw'nafh Cthulhu R'lyeh wgah'nagl fhtagn.")
00:24:48gevaertsWilliamC: the manual has a chapter about that I think
00:25:13markunWilliamC: I usually just keep the "select" button pressed in the file browser and then add stuff
00:25:37markunbut yes, maybe check the manual
00:25:41TheSeven17...18mA without undervolting
00:25:50TheSevenand 16...17mA with 0.95V
00:25:54TheSeventhat's not too good
00:26:01gevaertstomers: of course if we do that sort of selectability, we need to find a way to tell the user that what he asks isn't actually possible, which involves both some more USB logic rework and possibly some settings GUI creativity
00:26:10*TheSeven tries 0.925V
00:26:24markunTheSeven: what's the normal voltage?
00:26:29TheSeven1.075V
00:26:35*gevaerts isn't sure if we currently have settings that when set may make other settings unavailable
00:26:40WilliamCmarkun, I want to add everything
00:27:18JdGordon|gevaerts: tomers: the usual way to do firmware/ settings is have a firmware/ function which the settings code calls when the setting changes... that would then set a global variable in the relevant file.... i.e loook at the backlight setting
00:27:40*shotofadds was about to say that ;)
00:27:52*TheSeven needs a way to change clocks and voltages without rebooting rockbox :-)
00:28:01 Quit tomers (Read error: 148 (No route to host))
00:28:19markunTheSeven: a job for the debug menu :)
00:28:27shotofaddsTheSeven: people have hacked the debug screen to do that kind of thing in the past
00:28:30gevaertsJdGordon|: thanks! I suspected that it was something like that, but I wasn't entirely sure :)
00:28:41WilliamCgot it
00:28:58markunWilliamC: not too difficult, right?
00:29:15gevaertsTheSeven: write a plugin that lowers the voltage a bit, builds a playlist, starts playback, and when done lowers the voltage a bit more :)
00:29:31*TheSeven wonders why rockbox's playback is more sluggish at 75MHz than at 50MHz
00:29:35WilliamCmarkun, turns out, I don't need to create a playlist, it creates one on the fly
00:29:59TheSevengevaerts: and when I wake up again I'll have a wiped FTL and know nothing about the results
00:30:09WilliamCWhenever a song is selected from the File Browser with Select or Right, Rockbox will automatically create a playlist containing all of the songs in that directory and start playback with the selected song.
00:30:15WilliamCWhich is what I wanted
00:30:31markunWilliamC: I thought you wanted to make a playlist with all the music on your player..
00:30:48WilliamCIt's all in one folder
00:31:00gevaertsTheSeven: you use usb serial or HID to log to your PC :)
00:31:19 Quit AndyI (Read error: 110 (Connection timed out))
00:31:21TheSevenUSB may start to fail earlier than playback
00:31:40TheSevenwow. still alive at 0.900V
00:31:49gevaertsdoes that matter? Surely any failure is good enough to decide to stop?
00:31:58TheSevencurrent slightly below apple's now.
00:32:14TheSevengevaerts: what do i need USB for if i'm running off battery?
00:32:33gevaertsTheSeven: data connection?
00:32:50TheSevendata connection = charging
00:33:14TheSeventhis thing easily charges at 100mA USB
00:33:54gevaertsah, and you also want to log current I guess...
00:34:33TheSevenwell, I can disable the charger for that
00:34:33TheSeventhe bigger problem probably are current measurements affecting the current themselves
00:35:01 Quit Rob2222 (Remote closed the connection)
00:35:42TheSevenheh, funny. the CPU is specified at 1.1 to 1.3V, so apple is already undervolting it :-)
00:35:53 Quit ender` (" When I was a child... We had a quick-sand box in the backyard... I was an only child... eventually.")
00:36:44TheSevenrunning at 0.875V now
00:36:59TheSeven...but current isn't decreasing by much
00:37:13TheSevenI guess the total consumption of the SoC is around 5mA at most now
00:38:09TheSevenwhat do I need to implement to get boosting to work?
00:38:22gevaertsactually... How do you read the current measurements? From the screen?
00:38:23*TheSeven wants to go down to 50MHz when idle
00:38:29TheSevengevaerts: yes
00:38:40gevaertsis that readable without backlight?
00:38:43 Quit shotofadds ("Leaving")
00:38:45TheSevenyep.
00:38:49gevaertsah, ok.
00:38:54*gevaerts was getting suspicious
00:39:32TheSevenbut I guess doing ADC readings on both battery voltage and current 5 times a second isn't really reducing current :-P
00:40:00gevaertsmaybe not :)
00:40:28TheSeventhe backlight is quite efficient, too, it's around 10mA
00:40:56TheSevennow what's needed for boosting?
00:41:51TheSevenand does it hurt if the tick and user timers are a little sluggish during the process?
00:42:34 Quit arohtar (Client Quit)
00:42:39markunTheSeven: you have set_cpu_frequency implemented and CPUFREQ_* defined?

00:44:08TheSevenmarkun: do you know what's the difference between CPUFREQ_NORMAL and CPUFREQ_DEFAULT?
00:44:11ercaniit is also valid for jz4725 ?
00:44:20markunTheSeven: no, I don't remember
00:44:28markunyou also need to define HAVE_ADJUSTABLE_CPU_FREQ
00:46:05TheSevenand what should I take for CPU_FREQ?
00:46:07markunI wonder why I don't see the CPUFREQ_ defines in the other config- files
00:46:49markunI'm also just reading the source now..
00:47:20TheSevenno boosting expert around?
00:47:47TheSeventhe nasty part is that I'll need to re-sync some PLLs before switching
00:48:15markunah, maybe DEFAULT is the value you get after the bootloader
00:48:52markunbut perhaps better to wait for someone who knows more about it yes :)
00:49:16markunI experimented a bit with boosting on the gigabeat, but it didn't give us any runtime gain

02:37:40evilnickAlthough as the 2nd gen nano is *such* a new port, I would not be surprised if it doesn't work
02:37:46james12131oh
02:37:54james12131well after I unplugged it and played around with it
02:38:01james12131I plugged it back in and now I don't see any folder
02:38:15james12131I know the folders are on there because I can unplug and listen to music or play games

10:57:24amiconnTheSeven: There must be some pcm fifo...
10:58:30TheSevenamiconn: yes, for one single sample
10:59:15TheSeventhey probably designed this for auto-reloading DMA, which we can't do because of rockbox's pcmbuf architecture, i think
11:00
11:00:12TheSeventhe problem I'm having right now is that the interrupt lockout while boosting/unboosting is high enough to result in a pop/click
11:00:15amiconnNah, a larger one
11:00:22amiconnWhat's auto-reloading dma?
11:00:55amiconnOther targets don't lock out interrupts during boosting, for that reason (and more)
11:00:59TheSevenyou can tell the DMA to just go back to the beginning of the buffer once it's finished, and you have a half completion interrupt
11:01:39TheSevenamiconn: *if* a FIQ manages to come in during boosting, it'll starve because of the CPU clock being at 1.8MHz
11:02:26TheSevenso you can usually just update the buffer half the DMA has just played while it's playing the other one
11:02:51 Quit Ubuntuxer (Read error: 110 (Connection timed out))
11:03:19amiconnHmm, weird thing
11:03:33 Quit JackWinter (Read error: 104 (Connection reset by peer))
11:04:02amiconnWhy would it starve? Ok, that clock *is* low, although on the coldfire targets the base clock is ~11MHz
11:04:30TheSevenamiconn: on the other S5L8700 targets it's even worse (32kHz)
11:04:32amiconnUnboosted clock in rockbox is 45MHz (4* base), boosted is 124MHz (11* base)
11:05:17amiconnDuring clock change, the cpu runs from the base clock. PLL relock can take up to 10ms (yes *milli*seconds), typically 2ms
11:05:26TheSevenamiconn: S5L8700: base 32kHz, unboosted 48MHz, boosted 192MHz, S5L8701: base 1.8MHz, unboosted 48MHz, boosted 192MHz
11:05:58TheSevenamiconn: yes, and we have an FIQ latency requirement of ~20µS right now
11:06:27amiconnAudio is played using DMA on coldfire, and the completion interrupt just sets up the new dma
11:06:52amiconnThere's an 8-sample fifo in the i2s controller iirc
11:07:08TheSevenyes, which means you've got a lot more time
11:07:39amiconnI think it should be doable to use this dma reload and half-completion without changing the whole architecture
11:07:49amiconnIt will mean memcpying data though
11:08:11TheSevenanother issue is that this auto-reloading DMA doesn't seem to work at all for me right now

11:32:52amiconno.O 9 DMA channels
11:33:18TheSevenyes, we've made lots of such baffling discoveries
11:33:48amiconnThat's.... plenty. Almost as strange as the 5 timers in the SH7034
11:34:03kugelnano2g as 5 times too apparently
11:34:11kugeltimers*
11:34:45amiconnMost other SoCs only have two
11:35:44TheSevennano has 4 programmable 16bit timers and a 64bit timer that counts the CPU clock / 1024
11:36:56kugelso it's dependant on the cpu clock? i.e. will count different when unboosted? that doesn't make up for a good usec_timer
11:37:43TheSevenkugel: we'll find a hack for that
11:37:59TheSevenbut yes, it seems to behave like this
11:38:22TheSevenas far as i can tell, apple is always running that thing at full speed, so it didn't hurt them
11:38:49amiconnThe PP usec timer is actually nice. The PP's programmable timers are also based on that 1MHz clock

13:10:47distant_voicehi, I have a question. I plan on buying a Sansa Fuze. The trader on ebay says the installed firmware is V01.02.28F. On another item the trades says the firmware is v02.01.09a. Will I be able to install Rockbox on both?
13:11:39distant_voiceI have read the SansaFAQ. Since it says that the version 2 Fuzes all have firmware starting with 03.xx.xx both items should be version 1 Fuzes right?
13:13:40topikno fuze firmware starts with 03.
13:13:55topikfirmware that starts with 01 is rev 1, and has 'unstable' rockbox support
13:14:07topikfirmware that starts with 02 is rev 2 and is not supported
13:14:20gevaertsthe SansaFAQ doesn't say that
13:14:51gevaertsit's outdated, but it's talking about c200 and e200 there, not fuze
13:15:28topiktry this one, distant_voice : http://www.rockbox.org/wiki/SansaAMS
13:16:55distant_voicethanks for the help
13:17:16distant_voiceI'll go with the V01.02.28F then if that'll work for sure.

13:19:05distant_voiceyeah I heard it works pretty well
13:19:29topiki use it intensively without meaningful issues
13:19:51distant_voiceV01.02.28F is going to be okay then? what are the issues you encounter?
13:20:41topikhaving to reboot to the original firmware for usb use could be called an issue

13:21:16distant_voiceso I have to use the old firmware to put files on it? what about charging it?
13:21:46topikcharging works in rockbox, but when you put in the usb cable it will reboot to the original firmware. unless you hold the select button while doing so
13:22:38distant_voiceI can use SDHC cards with up to 16gb with it right?
13:22:55topikthe specs says so yes. i have only tried up to 8GB myself
13:23:11distant_voicethat's awesome
13:23:20distant_voicedo you scrobble your tracks too?
13:23:33distant_voicebecause that's one of the main reasons I want to put Rockbox on it
13:24:11topikwhat's a scrobble?
13:24:34distant_voicedo you know last.fm? it's a social networking site for music
13:24:44topikah, i don't do that
13:24:56distant_voiceok, maybe you should check it out
13:25:10topiki should rent some friends first then though
13:25:23distant_voicehaha, I don't have friends on there neither
13:25:31distant_voiceI just registered for the statistics
13:25:39distant_voicewww.last.fm/user/distant_voice
13:26:34topikcan't rockbox keep playback statistics itself?
13:27:16topikit does have a last.fm log option though, so i guess that's what you want
13:27:17distant_voiceyes, that's why it CAN submit your listened tracks to last.fm. most other firmwares don't support it
13:27:43distant_voiceI think ipod can do it and that's it

15:00:54Tornecheap "brick" style power adapters are likely to fall into the "get hot and maybe catch fire" category. Switchmode power supplies generally fall into the "charge slower" category. But I wouldn't rely on that too much :)

16:52:29rasherkugel: hm?
16:53:27vandenHi. Love rockbox; thanks bunches. Currently have a big problem.
16:53:28vandenUsing recent build of rockbox on a Sansa e200 with ubuntu 9.04. 9.04 has broken gphoto so I cannot access my player as a MSD.
16:53:32vandenUsed to access fine via nautilus. Still can access, but no files I add can be seen by rockbox.
16:53:35vandenThey are all there when I browse the player with nautilus on the desktop. But, cannot be played as rockbox can't see them.
16:53:39vandenI've googled around, but no joy. Any suggestions?
16:53:56kugelrasher: I want to remove the brackets around the LANG_ID3_* strings (for all languages), how would I do it best?
16:54:34kugelalso, can I do it without deprecating?

16:55:33rasherkugel: I'm not sure there's a simple way. You can use langtool to change the source in all languages. Other than that, I think we're back at manual editing. Are brackets used anywhere else? If not, you could just sed them out..
16:56:55vandengevaerts: Thanks. I will look into that (just skimmed it). But, I was able to add files via nautilus until quite recently.
16:56:55vandenAny ideas as to why that used to work and has now stopped working?
16:57:34gevaertssorry, no. hal+gphoto are mysteries to me that I avoid at all costs
16:57:35kugelrasher: I can live with manual editing. So can I change source without deprecating?
16:58:02rasherkugel: I don't think that should be a problem
16:58:14vandengevaerts: OK, well thanks. Perhaps the work around for gphoto will also solve the problem I came here with :-)
16:58:44kugelalright. the brackets can be added at runtime. but they're nasty when used in the wps (using %Sx)

If developers have been careful to bump the plugin API version correctly, though, then in the cases where it doesn't work, Rockbox will tell you that it can't load the plugin, rather than load it and then go horribly wrong.

20:23:46gevaertsbertrik: do you remember if the meizu M3 hold switch is software only?
20:23:58LloreanMy point is that a sighted user can learn to use grid by reading, a blind one can't use absolute by any means.
20:24:02Bob_CalexP: when I press edit, it gives me access denied, but it seems to think I am logged in as BobC.
20:24:11LloreanAlexP: It should be part of the install. My point is that until it *can* be, it needs to be in the more accessible mode at first.
20:24:13AlexPBob_C: ah
20:24:43LloreanAlexP: But my bigger point is that the accessible mode needs to not be removed. Despite what people keep saying, it's quite easy to use next/prev and vol up/down blindly in grid mode. Very, very easy.
20:24:47AlexPLlorean: Then we have instructions under a blind mode heading telling people how to edit the settings file
20:24:57LloreanThat's acceptable.
20:24:57*gevaerts thinks that the grid mode discussion and the hold-as-mode-key discussion should be kept separate
20:25:01AlexPLlorean: I completely agree that it shouldn't be removed
20:25:02JdGordon|No one is seriously suggesting out right removing the mode
20:25:08*domonoky long wanted to make a settings editor for rbutil, but i still dont have a way to get a updtodate list of all possible values :-)
20:25:22LloreanAlexP: The manual probably needs a "first time setup for blind users" section that's far more explicit than the basic "how to set up voice"
20:25:35LloreanJdGordon|: Read the mailing list. Rob Purchase and Kugel both are.
20:25:35AlexPLlorean: Yes, that'd probably help a lot
20:26:02domonokyas a first step, we could also just provide a "blind-friendly" config file for download.
20:26:54AlexPgevaerts makes a good point too - I don't know why blind people would be buying a touch screen device

20:27:29Bagderbecause it runs rockbox? ;-)
20:27:36LloreanAlexP: Because with Rockbox they *can* use it.
20:27:46Bob_CIf the screen had a braille overlay, would it be more useful?
20:27:53LloreanIt's a small, light player, flash based, uses full size SD cards, has a radio.
20:28:32LloreanWith the grid based controls it's really barely harder to use than a Gigabeat F's touchpad.
20:30:05JdGordon|"I'm getting tired of hearing "I can't use it that way, so surely nobody can" mentality when someone here (me) has actually done so quite successfully." <- why is that any more annoying than hearing "I can use it that way.. so surely anybody else could too"...
20:30:16Lloreandomonoky: There'd still need to be ones specific to each player, right? Especially if there were player or feature-specific accessibility features like the grid screen buttons.
20:30:51LloreanJdGordon|: That's a silly comparison. "I can use it" is proof that "nobody can" is wrong. "I can use it" is *not* proof that "anybody can" is true.
20:31:38LloreanI never said "anybody can" but Kugel said he highly doubts it can be used that way, and I'm just tired of him saying that simply because he can't use it that way.
20:32:17domonokyLlorean: not really specific to players, more like specific features. For the start it only needs the touchscreen setting. Everything else should be fine at moment :-)
20:32:21LloreanThe fact is, removing grid mode is removing a unique accessibility feature. Arguing that it isn't one because *he* can't use it is wrong.
20:32:44kugelstupid "that's silly" vs "no, that's silly" discussions..
20:33:01domonokyits also removing a working feature.. why should we do that, if it causes no harm ?
20:33:22Lloreankugel: Well, don't claim it's unlikely something can be used in a way someone's long since told you he's using it.
20:33:23gevaertslet's forget about grid mode and discuss what the actual issue is, i.e. do we want an optional hold-as-a-modifier?
20:33:24pixelmakugel: have you ever tried a touch screen device (yet)?
20:33:38AlexPgevaerts: NO, IMO
20:33:44AlexPer, No :)
20:33:53AlexPI didn't mesan to be quite so emphatic :)
20:34:02gevaertsAlexP: I'm not convinced either way yet, so why?
20:34:02kugelpixelma: I've had one in my hands a few times, and the sims with mouse
20:34:15Lloreangevaerts: I don't feel strongly against hold as a modifier. I'm slightly against it, but mostly in the sense "it's a minor feature without any real necessity, and would require yet another option in the settings" than anything else.
20:34:16domonokygevaerts: maybe a configure option to specify which buttons are exempt from hold ? :-)
20:34:17JdGordon|gevaerts: the argument is customisability.... I wouldnt mind that patch as an option... but how can tha be accepted when choosing the rec buttons action is rejected?
20:35:08LloreanAlso, yes, there's no good way to simply make it a modifier other than choosing to replicate explicitly OF behaviour, or come up with some sort of mapping and configuration screen for the button modes while hold is on.
20:35:12AlexPgevaerts: a) hold is hold, it disables buttons and b) where does it stop? Does just volume work? Or if not, then skip too? Then why not xyz
20:35:50pixelmamaybe a mode you cold enable by holding a certain "button" or screen area while switching hold, if that is technically possible? Somehow similar to keep Rockbox running on USB connect
20:35:50gevaertsLlorean: "minor" is subjective. Let's not use that argument :)
20:36:18Lloreangevaerts: Okay, "solves a problem that can already be solved with existing functionality"?
20:36:34gevaertsAlexP: what if the button is called "mode" instead of "hold"?
20:36:41pixelmaso usual switching hold would do nothing only knowledgeable people could do it
20:36:58AlexPgevaerts: Then it'd be unexpected that some buttons stopped working
20:36:59Lloreangevaerts: If the physical label of the button is "mode" that's different.
20:37:09LloreanThe D2 uses a Lock image on the button, though
20:38:02pixelmakugel: sounds more like a "no" to me ;)
20:38:08gevaertspixelma: that could work I think
20:38:18kugelpixelma: it was a yes
20:38:30gevaertsWhy is it acceptable to use hold to exit plugins on ipod?
20:39:07Lloreangevaerts: A _necessary_ evil I think. The iPods are one of the more button-limited players. Weren't we at some point working on removing that?
20:39:14pixelmakugel: having one in your hand doesn't mean real use to me and mouse in sims is quite different than a device in your pocket
20:39:20gevaertsLlorean: "there's another way to do it" sounds like a great argument against the volume buttons. You can set the volume in settings!
20:39:21pixelmadifferent to
20:39:45Lloreanpixelma: To be fair, the touch screen is restrictive in the pocket (but buttons can be too depending on pockets) but the blind use is pretty usable in, say, a car where you're just using it one-handed.
20:40:17bertrikgevaerts, no, the meizu m3 you loaned to me has no hold switch ... so I never tried to do anything with it
20:40:26bertrikI guess it's just a pin that software can read
20:40:28Lloreangevaerts: But there are also explicitly marked physical volume buttons.
20:40:31pixelmaok, still different to using a mouse in the sim in the middle of your monitor
20:40:33gevaertsbertrik: oh indeed... We destroyed it :(
20:40:46JdGordon|gevaerts: the difference between the grid and the mr100 is that the grid doesnt give *any* indication of where to press or why pressing there does something.... the mr100 has some sort of lighting to help you out
20:40:51Lloreanpixelma: Very. Sim+Mouse isn't indicative at all. '

20:41:10JdGordon|sim+touchscreen laptop though :)
20:41:16LloreanThough I'm pretty sure the mr100 is *harder* to use blind than the D2
20:41:28LloreanThe D2 you can feel around the edge of the screen to know orientation without risking touching a touch area.
20:41:43JdGordon|Llorean: I dont tihnk so.. these targets arent going to be used by blind users... its sighted that dont want to look at the screen
20:41:47gevaertsAlexP: the proposed action is skip. The D2 only has two non-hold buttons, so it's either skip or volume, not both
20:41:56LloreanJdGordon|: Okay, "easy to use without looking" then
20:42:00LloreanThe lights only help when you're looking.
20:42:19*gevaerts suspects that Llorean is right about this mr100 vs d2 usability
20:42:20AlexPgevaerts: But if the D2 got it, then why not others? And then you don't have that easy way out :)

20:45:18JdGordon|:D
20:46:00kugelLlorean: no, voice is useful for sighted people too
20:46:05LloreanI mean, why is the assumption "blind users probably won't buy it" the same as "we should make it impossible to use blind"?
20:46:15Lloreankugel: Using the player without looking at it is *also* useful for sighted people
20:46:56gevaertsAlexP: actually, I'm not at all against (optionally) switching to an entirely different button map using the hold switch...
20:47:01LloreanWhy is "able to be used blind" so bad that it needs removed?
20:47:11Bagderme neither
20:47:12*gevaerts now hides
20:47:14Lloreangevaerts: A static one, rather than a configurable one, or?
20:47:18gevaertsLlorean: static
20:47:40gevaertsalthough maybe configurable wouldn't be too horrible in this case
20:47:58LloreanIf it's only there when "hold enables custom keymap" is on, then configurable might not be too bad.
20:47:59AlexPgevaerts: I don't like it much, but I wouldn't throw my toys out of the pram
20:48:05LloreanSince turning off hold will always instantly restore the Rockbox keymaps
20:48:07Torneit's not just a different map, though, no?
20:48:17kugelI'm not entirely against it either, but we should go the same route on other players too if we accept it
20:48:21LloreanTorne: On the D2 it's a 100% remapping of all keys other than Hold, technically.
20:48:31Torneno, i mean it's more than just a different mapping
20:48:34gevaertskugel: of course. If we're talking about just one, I don't see much point
20:48:35Torneit would need to do the same actions regardless of screen to really work, no?
20:48:40Tornewhich isn't how the regular buttons work
20:48:48LloreanTorne: Some buttons work in all screens, others don't
20:48:52Lloreanor try to
20:49:48Torneis it currently possible to map a button to volume up, in a way that will work even if you're in a plugin or whatever?
20:49:53LloreanNot yet.
20:50:04LloreanEach plugin would need to explicitly keep those buttons as volume up
20:50:15Tornecuz *without* that it's far less useful, no?
20:50:23LloreanI mean, it's possible to create the illusion of such a mapping, and on some players I think we should (various Gigabeats for example)
20:50:27Tornekinda defeats the whole using it without looking thing if you have to know what context you are in
20:50:30kugelhey, it would allow me to get rid of the stupid volume in lists in favor of a quick page up/down on the clip <3
20:50:31***Saving seen data "./dancer.seen"
20:51:17JdGordon|Torne: that probably will never happen
20:51:26JdGordon|that means those plugins would lose that button
20:51:41LloreanTorne: If it's going to be customizable, there should be an "all contexts" context that sets buttons to do something for everywhere in the core.
20:51:42bertrikI would like hold to stay mostly like it currently is, but won't mind an exception for some players where it's really troublesome
20:51:45gevaertsTorne: slightly hard to do in the current system where the plugins take over the GUI thread
20:51:47TorneJdGordon|: well, i was assuming you would only map the button like that in this mode with the hold switch on, i mean.
20:51:49LloreanTorne: But plugins probably should never be involved in this
20:51:52Tornegevaerts: indeed, that's what i assumed
20:51:59TorneJdGordon|: you wouldn't ever have that as the *normal* mapping.
20:52:10LloreanIf a user leaves a plugin running, turns on hold, and puts it in their pocket, it's their responsibility
20:52:58LloreanAlthough, alternately, the plugin could *be* the context. As long as it's running, it controls the keymaps, so it could be an explicit mode in that sense.
20:53:20JdGordon|plugins are (and always will be) a special beast and shouldnt be taken into account here
20:53:22gevaertsso we'd have a configurable keymap, that works (a) not in plugins, (b) only if people want it (option), and (c) is toggled by hold?

20:54:05TorneLlorean: that's an interesting thought in its own right, actually..
20:54:05JdGordon|this is where loadable keymaps make sense...
20:54:14TorneLlorean: that could almost be a super-WPS plugin
20:54:32LloreanTorne: It's one I've had many times. Plugins as alternatives to the WPS allowing various alternate playback behaviours that don't need to be in the core, etc.
20:54:42JdGordon|you could easily implement a better WPS as a plugin now if you wanted
20:54:51 Join n1s [0] (n=n1s@rockbox/developer/n1s)
20:54:58TorneJdGordon|: you'd probably want the facility to open it in the same contexts the WPS gets opened

20:55:08Tornesimilar to autorock?
20:55:19JdGordon|it could be done
20:55:24Torneanyway this may be diverting the topic somewhat
20:55:27LloreanYeah
20:55:36JdGordon|we need TSR plugins for that to work well though
20:55:46JdGordon|which is something else I've had working before :)
20:55:50TorneJdGordon|: dont' we have that already?
20:56:07*Torne forgets the details of how battery bench works, though
20:56:13JdGordon|sorry... re-entrant TSR
20:56:24TorneHm.
20:56:32Lloreangevaerts: We'd probably need a "keymap gallery" wiki page if we did that. I'm sure people would, at the very least, want to offer adapted keymaps for special purposes, and ones to duplicate the OF.
20:56:53JdGordon|batt bench is the only one which stays in the background.. but if you start it again it will kill the one runing, not rejoin it
20:57:24JdGordon|Llorean: thats a bad thing?
20:57:29Lloreangevaerts: And we'd have to decide what functions can be mapped to keys (for example, some functions like pitch are only available conditionally - to they get their own function name, or are they always conditionally mapped to whichever button got the function they're normally paired with)
20:57:44LloreanJdGordon|: It's not a bad thing. I'm just exploring what else needs discussed.
20:57:57WilliamCHow do you load Last.fm logs from Rockbox again?
20:58:14LloreanJdGordon|: Just because I'm marginally against the idea doesn't mean I wouldn't want to see it done well and thoroughly if it does happen.
20:58:17gevaertsLlorean: indeed. There's a lot to be decided...
20:58:53Lloreangevaerts: I think the "what can be mapped, and how" will be a pretty hard one. While static alternatives will be simpler, but (to me) somewhat more pointless.
20:59:13LloreanOnly a few specific players can benefit much from a static alternative.
20:59:30AlexPWilliamC: Use something like qtscrobbler
21:00
21:00:09WilliamCSomeone had an online utility.
21:00:26AlexPdunno, try the wiki or google
21:00:40kugelJdGordon|: it will not kill the one that runs

21:00:55JdGordon|i thought it does?
21:00:55kugelit will show a warning that it's allready running (same if you enter other plugins)
21:01:07JdGordon|oh ok
21:01:29JdGordon|is it a batt bench warning? or the loader?
21:01:50gevaertsLlorean: I guess it's somewhat similar to the customisable quickscreen list, but there are of course some additional complications like things that you can or cannot map sensibly to a wheel
21:02:24WilliamCWhich mode should I boot into when I connect it into my laptop, default or Rockbox?
21:02:38AlexPWhat is it?
21:02:51bertrikWilliamC, depends on the target
21:02:52kugelJdGordon|: the former
21:03:04WilliamCbertrik, both work
21:03:25AlexPWilliamC: Yes, depending on the target and you haven't told us what you have
21:03:34TorneWilliamC: you just need to access the file, so any mode where usb works is fine
21:03:39WilliamCe200
21:03:41Tornethere's nothing special or magic about scrobbling
21:03:55Torneit just reads the file, and you delete the file when it's done
21:03:59JdGordon|at this point I want to butt in and say that completly customisable menus would be relativly simple to implement now, without these concerns...
21:04:00Tornerockbox doesn't know/care that you did so.

21:14:40TheSeventhat's the problem, there is no real plan, i need to work out some hack
21:15:15TheSeveni can't reduce FIQ worst-case latency enough to get rid of the problems even with my pcmbuf hack
21:15:37LloreanBBBradley: To what end?
21:16:09bertrikI thought the options were basically: 1) copy data around to a continuous looping DMA buffer 2) rework the buffer handling so it better fits the samsung DMA 3) mess around to get FIQ faster than 1 sample, right?
21:16:32TheSeven3 proved impossible if you're boosting
21:17:10TheSevenand the other options currently won't work, as I didn't manage to do a wrapping DMA transfer yet

21:19:49kugelI think that could be a known problem
21:19:51TheSevenbertrik: master/slave I2S shouldn't matter for that, as the DMA controller doesn't really know about it. But the Meizu does slave I2S, right? (the nano does master I2S)

21:25:47TheSeventhe root problem is that CPU clock changes involve that the CPU is running at 1.8MHz for several milliseconds, and if a DMA refresh is needed during this time, we can't meet it's latency requirements
21:25:51TheSeven(at least not with the current code)
21:26:48BBBradleyKugel: I can't scroll the wheel until I press menu after the exit... but I did not try pressing the other keys.
21:27:13TheSevenand even if we manage to re-setup the DMA from within 3 instructions within an FIQ that may already be too late at that freq
21:28:08bertrikTheSeven, I was hoping we could change the frequency instantaneously, e.g. by just changing/enabling/disabling a clock divider somewhere (at least keep the PLL running at a fixed frequency)

21:39:07Lloreanshotofadds: Why not "enable volume change on hold" instead then?

21:39:55shotofaddsLlorean: because there is already a key combination to change volume. there isn't one to skip tracks.
21:40:08Lloreanshotofadds: There's a key combination to adjust volume while hold is on?
21:40:20shotofaddsno, that's not what I said
21:40:27LloreanIf I want to skip tracks blindly on a D2 while hold is off, I can do it.
21:40:34LloreanIf you *choose* to be in a mode where you can't, I don't see the prolbem.
21:40:38shotofaddsgood for you
21:40:54LloreanMy point is "why should your feature for use while hold is on be the most important one?"
21:41:10*gevaerts will send a proposal to the ML soon
21:41:15shotofaddsJdGordon|: yes it makes sense, but it still doesn't help skipping tracks "blind"
21:41:15LloreanYou want to add a feature, the job is to justify it.
21:41:40Lloreanshotofadds: Tracks can already be skipped blind. Please, don't pretend like that doesn't exist just because you refuse to use the existing method.
21:41:47LloreanThis is adding an alternative means to do something, not enabling it in the first place.
21:42:03gevaertsshotofadds: what I proposed should allow the skip-track-on-hold as a specific configuration
21:42:11shotofaddsI didn't pretend it doesn't exist, I just think the "grid" mode sucks and should die a horrible painful death
21:42:27Lloreanshotofadds: Yes. You can think that, but that doesn't make it a universal truth.
21:42:49LloreanYou have to accept that right now you're just saying "my method is a better way of doing something that can already be done"

21:44:48shotofaddsThat's basically what you're saying too.
21:44:50gevaertsLlorean: to be honest, no feature at all in rockbox has much more justification than "someone wanted it"
21:44:53LloreanI love the fact that the implication is that I can't have a reasoned discussion because you're unwilling to explain your point of view.
21:45:25Lloreanshotofadds: I didn't call your argument petty. I asked specific questions, and explained the advantages of my point of view. You instead say "I refuse to discuss this here, do it my way."

21:52:25kugeland I'm saying that didn't happen until now, and won't happen in the future
21:52:54LloreanOkay, there's a difference between "a dev wants it ends discussion" and "a dev wants it, but people still voice objections"
21:53:18LloreanIf we're still voicing objections, then saying "a dev wants it should be enough" is pointless, since you don't intend that statement to change the situation.

21:53:50kugelthat's not my point, I'm just saying extreme bloat is very unlikely even if "a dev really wants it" keeps to be enough of a reason to add it
21:54:05Llorean"a dev really wants it" is adding a word to the statement
21:54:12*domonoky thinks that "a devs want it" is enough to justify a feature in general (if it isnt silly), but we still have to agree on the best way to get into rockbox so it doesnt interfere with other things.

21:56:34LloreanRemember, adding a feature is also a communication of intent to the userbase. In this case, customizable keymaps.

21:57:35LloreanOr are you going to hold me to a statement I *admitted* was wrong?
21:58:00JdGordon|can we track down who decided to make "fade on stop" and "repeat all" defaults and kill them?
21:58:09JdGordon|thats *really* what we are discussing here...
21:58:16domonokyif we as devs can agree on a solutions, we shouldnt care about what users might expect.
21:58:17LloreanJdGordon|: I thought we agreed at one point that fade on stop should be disabled these days.
21:58:18kugelrepeat all isn't default
21:58:25AlexPThe repeat all default is a bit odd
21:58:28rasherFade on stop is a bad default if you ask me
21:58:33TheSevenJdGordon|: "repeat all" is default?
21:58:35LloreanSee, we can agree sometimes.
21:58:40*Llorean didn't know "repeat all" was a default.
21:58:46JdGordon|one of the wierd playback mode is default
21:58:47AlexPIt was for a long time
21:58:49JdGordon|or usd to be
21:58:55AlexPIf it has changed, I didn't notice
21:59:06LloreanI don't really know most of the defaults any more.
21:59:13AlexPbut it definately is/was for a long time
21:59:14JdGordon|anyway... I have said that hold patch is a bad idea, but I dont care if it goes in if its disabled by default
21:59:23Lloreanmy first step with a new player is loading *my* default, but the fade on stop was _really_ annoying, whereas repeat all wouldn't bother me too much either way
22:00
22:00:05LloreanJdGordon|: That's more or less how I feel on the hold patch. I think it's negative, but it's not like I'd try to get it reverted. The problem is, stating objections and then asking "please explain your reasons" is seen as being "petty"
22:00:25kugelI think fade on pause is one of the few features that are on by default to show off
22:02:21kugelLlorean: can you show me where I said that I'm on favor of this hold thing?
22:02:22*TheSeven think it just fades too slow on pausing, else it would be nice
22:03:38JdGordon|so maybe we have a use for the RSB now.... can we try getting an agreement on the question "if a patch is controversial, but has no negative effects on users who disable it, its ok to commit"?
22:04:03AlexPJdGordon|: I think that's a bit broad

22:05:04gevaertsJdGordon|: as a member of the RSB, I have to say that if this would indeed be discussed by the RSB, I'd refuse to have an opinion unless it was made less vague
22:05:39Lloreankugel: He hasn't explained why he wants it other than "the OF does it, users think it's good, and I like it"
22:05:53kugelThat's just not enough explaination for you

22:06:03LloreanWell, he's saying the objections are minor.
22:06:04kugelthat's why you don't accept it
22:06:08LloreanBut the reasons for are pretty minor too, then.

22:07:31LloreanWhat problems does it solve?
22:07:55LloreanBlind use is a problem it solves, but why is it the best solution for this problem?
22:08:26LloreanDoes he clearly express a list of problems it solves? A list of uses cases for it? A list of advantages it has over the existing solution to this problem? If so, where may I read these?
22:09:16kugelit's not the first time you refuse to accept arguments to be valid reasons based on subjectives. Always asking for problems it solves is stupid IMO
22:09:38kugelthe world wouldn't move if we always needed problems before actually doing something
22:10:00Lloreankugel: Ah yes. "Wanting more reasons is stupid even if you don't think the current ones are enough."
22:10:52LloreanIf he sincerely wants discussion, he should be prepared for people to ask him to thoroughly justify his side.
22:10:57kugelyou didn't say that he wouldn't have enough reasons. You said he doesn't have reasons at all
22:11:02LloreanIf I ask what problems it solves, he can say "it doesn't solve any other problems"

23:00:30kugelhrm, I'm thinking how to do this "you may not draw into the default vp" in the sbs properly
23:01:30kugelI thought just returning an error if a drawing tag happens to be parsed while the curr_vp is hidden completely is enough
23:01:40JdGordon|?
23:02:02kugelbut if it's rather used as conditional to de/activate hidden viewports it should work
23:02:53kugelbtw, It's stilly that there's only a single way to return error for the parse_* functions, that's hardly telling the real problem
23:03:34JdGordon|yeah, we should have a bunch of erro codes for them
23:03:44JdGordon|or actually something like errorno
23:04:14kugelthere's an enum of various error codes, but it's not used for the parse_* function

23:12:25JdGordon|kugel: any ideas for a nice clean way to temporarily disable the sbs? (i.e from the wps)... and do the %we/d tags still even make sense?
