02:04:14JdGordoncorrect
02:04:42JdGordonim not exactly sure if it will get all the cases, but it works for cabbie (in git) on the progressbar
02:04:46[Saint]that takes so much fuckery out of my cabbie theme (or, will do)
02:04:46JdGordonmight need some tweaking
02:04:51[Saint]the bar magic is not pretty.
02:05:24[Saint]Does it account for reversed bars?
02:05:28JdGordonyes
02:05:45[Saint]*nooooooooooooiiiiice*
02:06:09[Saint]Oh, derp. I skipped the line where you explicitly state this. :-S
02:07:26[Saint]Is the modified wps/cabbiev2.480x800x16.wps in the patch set intentional?
02:07:46JdGordonyes
02:08:31[Saint]Ok...just seemed a bit weird to me.
02:08:46[Saint]thought it snuck in there.
02:09:04JdGordonlook at the change, it removes the %T(progressbar) line
02:10:55[Saint]Yes, but, there's several other touch cabbies.
02:11:07[Saint](which is why I thought it was weird)
02:11:20JdGordoni hadnt found them yet :)
02:11:31[Saint]I just had a thought, though, and, you're /probably/ not going to like me very much... :)
02:11:38JdGordonuh oh!
02:11:55[Saint]Can one still define their own touch region?
02:11:59[Saint](for bars)
02:12:00JdGordonyes
02:12:07[Saint]Ah...*phew* :)
02:12:13[Saint]Crisis averted :)
02:12:54[Saint]There's several places where the touch region extends far beyond the bar itself. I suddenly thought "Ohhhhh...crap"
02:12:55JdGordonwierd shit mighjt happen if you do thoguh
02:13:13[Saint]If you don't do so, its not possible to seek to the highest/lowest values in the bar.
02:13:23[Saint]so, this may be a problem.
02:13:39 Quit prof_wolfff (Ping timeout: 248 seconds)
02:13:48JdGordonshould I add some space on either end?
02:13:55JdGordon10% or something?
02:14:08[Saint]that's probably wise, perhaps a percentile of the ba
02:14:10[Saint]..yes, that.
02:15:32 Quit liar (Ping timeout: 245 seconds)
02:25:13JdGordon[Saint]: ok, try the link again, it adds 5% on either end of the bar
02:25:26JdGordonerr... only for horizontal bars though, so ill fix hat
02:26:36 Join bitcraft [0] (~bitcraft@173-23-42-120.client.mchsi.com)
02:27:05[Saint]I also make use of extending the bar's touch region above and below the bar (so its more similar to Android's bar behaviour where you can "pick up" a bar and move off it whilst still scrolling)...but, this can't really be done automagically I don't think.
02:27:11[Saint]I can fake it, though.

02:43:57*[Saint] doesn't like being "thinks o9f things" guy today.
02:44:06[Saint]perhaps "hindsight guy"?
02:44:45amayerwhat does "hindsight guy" do?
02:44:51[Saint]While if it happened, its /probably/ just bad design, this new bar behaviour may make for a situation where two touch areas overlap.
02:45:08[Saint]amayer: he thinks of thing he should have thought of before now :)
02:46:03amayerpertaining to rockbox? like the "come up with new ideas" guy?
02:46:41[Saint]The ony thing I can think of (presently) is negating the new bar behaviour if a touch area is defined for said bar...but, that's likely not a: pretty, or b: non-trivial
02:46:45JdGordon[Saint]: yeah, but you cant deal with everything
02:46:52[Saint]JdGordon: this is true.
02:47:11[Saint]As I said, its likely down to shitty UI design if it happens :)
02:47:16JdGordonyes
02:50:04JdGordon[Saint]: I'm not sure i really want to add padding on the ends
02:50:30[Saint]fixing edge detection would be "the right fix"
02:50:38[Saint]but, its very screen dependant.
02:50:41JdGordon?
02:51:28[Saint]the touch areas seem to not be able to scroll to the highest/lowest limits...it it could, there'd be no need for packing.
02:52:19[Saint]this is likely *very* screen dependant though.
02:52:37amayeris the themes section of the website down?
02:53:18[Saint]seems so.
02:55:37amayerdo they host that on a seperate server or is it just apache acting up?
02:57:08amayer$ host returns different ip's so i guess its different servers
02:57:15*[Saint] nods
02:57:21*[Saint] also pokes rasher
02:58:08amayer[Saint]: are you guys talking about rockbox on touch devices?

02:59:31[Saint]amayer: yes, yes we are.
02:59:39scorchei wasnt, actually - been going through some stuff off-line
02:59:40amayerthats awesome
02:59:42*scorche investigates
02:59:58[Saint]not specifically, but mostly, pertaining to my cabbie touch work.
03:00
03:00:22[Saint]it applies to all touch devices with RB, but, I discovered it though localisation work.
03:01:09[Saint]I'm working on a theme that "just works" with both LTR and RTL langs, and, its not terribly easy (and, impossible with git HEAD)
03:05:48amayerquestion: what is the default theme that is shipped with RB?
03:06:39scorcheserver is rebooting - cause of interruption in service unknown as of yet - looks like an issue with just my system though
03:09:02[Saint]amayer: its called "cabbieV2"
03:09:26amayerif i have an improvement/bug fix for that where should i submit it?
03:09:43[Saint]gerrit. and, remember to poke me as a reviewer.
03:09:43scorchewell, the server is up - i will investigate later...
03:10:13[Saint]amayer: what's the issue (I know there are many)?
03:10:37[Saint]I have around ~10 mins to discuss this if you're free.
03:11:00amayer[Saint]: in the config file if you change themes then change back it doesnt reload the icons
03:11:17amayerif you put /.rockbox/icons/... then it works
03:11:42amayer(not a huge issue but it was confusing)
03:12:29[Saint]I'm really not sure that's the ideal fix.
03:13:00[Saint]Its a nasty issue, one theme sets something another unsets, etc.
03:13:32 Join T44 [0] (~Topy44@f049099045.adsl.alicedsl.de)
03:13:45amayeri understand. im saying when you switch back to cabbieV2 it doesnt reload the icons
03:14:38amayerit just doesnt work on my ipod im not sure how it will work on other devices
03:14:52[Saint]that's because its respecting the current setting, which the prior theme unset.
03:15:11[Saint]its *supposed* to respect the current setting, but, switching themes makes this a bit weird.
03:15:40amayerso its looking for it in the wps folder since its a relative path?
03:15:58 Quit Topy (Ping timeout: 260 seconds)
03:16:03[Saint]No, its not looking for it at all, since display icons gets unset by the prior theme
03:16:14[Saint](I assume this is the issue here)
03:17:32[Saint]My assumption is, from seeing this before, this is happening when you apply a theme that doesn't set icons, and then switch back to cabbie?
03:17:44amayeryes
03:17:47amayerin /.rockbox/themes/cabbiev2.cfg it says:
03:17:49amayer iconset: icons/tango_icons.16x16.bmp
03:17:50[Saint]While its not expected behaviour, its *teachnically* "correct" behaviour.
03:17:51amayerviewers iconset: icons/tango_icons_viewers.16x16.bmp
03:18:14[Saint]amayer: yes, that's just telling it what iconset to use.
03:18:23amayerbut the icon sets dont load
03:18:27[Saint]whether or not to display is is a different config item entirely.
03:18:38[Saint]*it is
03:19:04[Saint]just setting the iconset doesn't=="show icons", but, it just so happens that show icons is the default.
03:19:58amayerwell if i put
03:20:00amayer/.rockbox/icons/tango_icons.16x16.bmp
03:20:02amayerand
03:20:04amayer/.rockbox/ icons/tango_icons_viewers.16x16.bmp
03:20:05[Saint]For this particular case, its /probably/ best to add "show icons: true" or whatever it is to the theme config for cabbie...but, its not very nice to override a potentially user set config item.
03:20:06amayerthen the icons load
03:20:11[Saint]in fact, its plain ugly.
03:20:36[Saint]Wait...huh? That's....that's just weird.
03:20:51*[Saint] needs to look into this when he has some more time.
03:21:23amayerjust figured i would bring it up

03:22:06 Quit T44 (Read error: Connection reset by peer)
03:22:07amayerlike i said not a huge contribution but i figured i would bring it up
03:22:07[Saint]rather than the semi-broken but actually expected behaviour.
03:22:32amayer(since its the theme that ships with RB i figured it should work)
03:22:44 Join T44 [0] (~Topy44@f049099045.adsl.alicedsl.de)
03:23:27[Saint]Oh, definitely. when you say "add /.rockbox/ icons/tango_icons_viewers.16x16.bmp" etc. do you mean config.cfg, or, cabbiev2.cfg
03:24:05amayercabbiev2.cfg
03:24:11[Saint]it *should* already be in cabbiev2.cfg, and, it definitely shouldn't magically disappear.
03:24:34amayer(take the space out after /.rockbox/(space) icons
03:24:38amayerthat was my typo
03:25:07[Saint]yeah, np. I gathered.
03:25:43[Saint]No I have to figure out why this is happening, this should be a fun afternoon :)
03:25:45[Saint]*Now
03:25:55amayerso your saying it should already be there(and its missing in mine)
03:26:20[Saint]Yes, the theme should define its own iconset.
03:26:20amayeror it should be there and isnt?
03:26:57amayerwell it does define an icon set. it just doesnt have /.rockbox/ in the front so it wasnt loading
03:27:19amayeri have to go but i will be on tomorrow.
03:27:23[Saint]Aha! Right...I totally misunderstood.
03:27:35[Saint]Sorry about that. I thought it was missing entirely.
03:27:54amayerwell i hope i helped out
03:28:16[Saint]Catching things that shouldn't be definitely helps :)
03:29:26amayerim glad. see you tomorrow

10:34:02fs-bluebotGerrit review #284 at http://gerrit.rockbox.org/r/284 : skin_engine: Automatically create touch regions for skin bars by Jonathan Gordon (changes/84/284/5)
10:34:42kugelinstead of just defaulting to notouch we now need extra code for backward compatibility
10:34:56kugelobviously I'm not a fan of that
10:40:16JdGordondefaulting to notoisnt going to happen, /discussion
10:41:07kugelwhy?
10:42:01[Saint]Do non-touch devices even give a shit about touch areas? I thought not...
10:42:28[Saint]If they did, I suspect my 240x320 theme wouldn't work on non-touch devices, which it does happily.
10:42:31kugelthe problem isn't non-touch devices
10:43:07[Saint]Ohhhh...I get you, yes. Sorry.
10:43:50kugelmy problem is that (existing) themes get extra touchregions which the author didn't have in his mind during creation
10:44:07kugelthat means a) possibly nasty side-effects for existing themes
10:44:20[Saint]Yeah, there's situations where I don't want this to happen with bars, but, overall I think that its less likely you won't want a touch region drawn for the bars.
10:44:51[Saint]and, skin breaking changes happen. Authors need to keep on top of this.
10:44:54kugelb) extra code is now needed to detect the "touch-enabled-ness" of the theme, since there's now implicit regions even for not touch-enabled themes
10:45:16kugelthe presense of touchregions indicates whether a theme is touch-enabled
10:46:10kugel[Saint]: *all* themes that want the touchregion for the bar already have it. this creates a second one in each which possibly doesnt play nice with the existing region
10:46:23[Saint]the "nice" way to handle this (IMO) would be to prepend a tag to a bar tag to say "I want the core to draw a touch area for this"
10:47:32kugelextra tag isn't needed, a param for the bar tag will do. the question is whether to default to creating the region or not
10:50:26kugeldefaulting to on essentially breaks existing themes (for IMO no gain)
10:50:43 Quit MethoS- (Ping timeout: 265 seconds)
10:50:46[Saint]how does it break them?
10:51:05kugeli just explained it
10:51:55kugelskin breaking changes do happen yes, but this one is unecessary
10:52:27kugelwe should try to avoid them if possible
10:52:54kugelespecially if doing the change means we need extra code to handle old themes (or non-touch ones)
10:53:21kugelwhile not doing the breaking change doesnt need the code
10:53:57*[Saint] seems to have a habit for needing things for his work that cause arguments.
10:54:08[Saint]You'd swear I tired for this, but, just lucky I guess :)
10:54:41kugel[Saint]: don't get me wrong, I'm not against the general change, I think it's a very elegant solution to your problem
10:54:50kugelI just question the default
10:54:59[Saint]TO be perfectly honest, I really wasn't thinking about non-touch themes when I was running this through.
10:55:05[Saint]And I should have done so, so, my bad.
10:55:41kugelin the current patch you supress the auto-region with "notouch" param, IMO you should need to explicitely enable it with a "touch" param or so
10:57:04[Saint]One way it could be viewed, I guess, is that if the theme in question automagically becomes "touch enabled" with this change, and it also shares a resolution with a touchscreen device...it should probably cater for touch regions anyway.
10:57:18[Saint]And if it doesn't share a resolution, the only issue is a bit of extra code.
10:57:42[Saint]But, you're /probably/ right about the default. I just wan't thinking about non-touch at the time.
10:57:49kugelit doesnt make the theme touch-enabled, as it still can't handle playback controls and stuff
10:58:19[Saint]right, my point is, if it shares a resolution with a touchscreen device...it should already.
10:58:34[Saint]But, you can't force people to code proper themes (believe me, I've tried :0)

10:59:14kugelwhy would you want to force a themer to touch-enable his ipod theme? he just wants it for his ipod
10:59:33[Saint]If a themer doesn't cater for touch when the theme they create has both touch and non-touch targets, its kinda broken IMO.
11:00
11:00:00[Saint]in the same league as not doing proper hardware checks
11:00:15[Saint]...but, people make crap themes, this is unfortunately a fact.
11:01:00kugelI don't agree that all themes must always work on all devices with the resolution, but that's another story anyway
11:01:36[Saint]I think they should, but, we can't force it..so...yeah.

13:40:35wodzwhich seems tad wrong
13:44:18Tornewait, i'm not sure what you're referring to
13:44:27Tornesurely things that are relocated are not *in* the binary
13:45:29wodzsure they are
13:46:08wodzyou read relocate table to get offset then you read value from load_base + offset the value to fixup
13:46:34Tornewhat specific thing in the binary is bigendian?

14:00:21Torneso, it's also bigendian.
14:00:47Torneyour loader needs to interpret that as network byte order and call the appropriate conversion
14:01:14wodzI can't see anything like this in uclinux loader
14:04:50wodzhmm maybe the conversion is done with uninion trickery

14:33:57wodzOk it seems to do endian conversion somewhere deep in macros traversing. Thats a pitty description of bflt doesn't mention that not only tables are network ordered
14:34:16Tornewell, as i said, the data at the relocation site is also part of the relocation
14:34:21Torneits format and meaning is determined by the relocation type
14:34:33Torneso, it's also part of the relocation entry (just using some existing space to reduce the table size)
14:35:43wodzacked, but it is not obvious at first spot
14:40:58wodzTorne: so basicaly: fixme = (uint32_t *)((uintptr_t)load_base + reloc); *fixme = be32toh(*fixme) + load_base;
14:41:24Tornentoh really..
14:41:31Tornebut yeah, i think so
14:41:52wodzhmm not for every relocation type I guess
14:43:05wodzv4 of bflt seems to be just that
14:43:26wodzv5 do different things but I think it is abandoned

However the code is using %Vdb instead of %Vd(b). So the theme fails. Look at line 19 and 24 (sansa fuze v2 version).

20:39:37wodzbut even accounting for this I am unable to get proper image with dma transfers and your code
20:40:57mortalisDid you noticed my change in lcd_data_transform. You should remove it, as your display need transform for initialization.
20:41:09mortalis*?

21:00:10wodzmortalis: http://www.pastie.org/4149924 <- thats agains master
21:01:42wodzIt sends something to lcd and you can somehow recognize what it is but whole display is covered with colour strips slightly changing with every update
21:02:34bluebrotherhmm. Why do the manuals on the website say "version unknown-120625"?
21:03:00wodzcommented out change to lcd_update_rect() works I mean sending rgb565 data to this lcd works ok
21:03:17bluebrotherand it seems the html manuals haven't been rebuilt the last two or so weeks
21:03:54wodzearly spot :-)
21:04:26wodzthat supports thesis that noone reads manuals
21:05:26kugelwodz: why? it's not unavailable
21:05:57kugelit only shows nobody reads them carefully enough to notice they're outdated
21:06:36bluebrotherwell, have there been (important) changes to the manual the last couple of weeks?

21:09:36PwnsomeWinright now i'm trying to make a new port
21:09:43PwnsomeWini opened the mp3 player up
21:09:56PwnsomeWinbtw its a Creative MuVo v100
21:10:04mortaliswodz: llp_setup(FBADDR(0,i), (void*)(&LCD_BUFF+(i%4)*LCD_WIDTH), &scr_llp[i], LCD_WIDTH/2); whould be replaced with llp_setup(FBADDR(0,i), (void*)(&LCD_BUFF+(i%4)*LCD_WIDTH/2), &scr_llp[i], LCD_WIDTH/2);
21:10:35mortalisbecause LCD_BUF unsigned long in master
21:11:14PwnsomeWindo i have to use a flatbed scanner to get a pic of the inside of the mp3 player
21:11:31PwnsomeWincause i have a pretty good camera
21:11:45wodzPwnsomeWin: you can use digital camera with good macro lens as well

21:17:38wodz<wodz> PwnsomeWin: you can use digital camera with good macro lens as well
21:17:48wodzmortalis: yes
21:17:58PwnsomeWinok
21:18:02gevaertsPwnsomeWin: basically the point is to be able to identify the chips in there. If your photos are good enough for that, that's fine
21:18:12PwnsomeWinwell my camera is refusing to take a picture
21:18:14mortalisand what if you uncomment it?

21:22:09PwnsomeWinok how do i make a wiki page? does somebody need to give me permission?

21:26:33PwnsomeWinthank
21:26:33PwnsomeWins
21:26:57PwnsomeWincan i add my port page also?
21:27:14gevaertsThat should work, yes
21:27:27PwnsomeWinokay
21:29:27bertrikPwnsomeWin, do you know what kind of processor is in there?
21:29:40wodzmortalis: definitely not for my lcd - it looks like if it skip every second column of pixels
21:29:43PwnsomeWintrying to figure that out
21:30:46PwnsomeWinthe mp3 player is actually two parts, one comes off and connects to the computer. i opened up the other part, and im not sure which one has the processor
21:31:02PwnsomeWinhow do i make a wiki page?
21:31:25bertrikIt's probably not much use yet to start a port page until you have at least an idea of the kind of processor in the player, IMO
21:31:26wodzPwnsomeWin: simply enter unique, valid wiki address
21:31:47PwnsomeWinokay
21:32:13PwnsomeWini'll see if i can figure out the processor
21:32:27 Quit Neelark (Quit: Page closed)
21:32:31wodzmortalis: the image jumps up and down occasionally producing distorted image. This pretty much looks like it misses whole 4 line transfer
21:33:15wodzmortalis: switching to bypass mode produce glitch also
21:35:51mortaliswodz: sounds similar to what I can see when while (DWDMA_CTL_L(0) & (1<<27)) yield(); uncommented
21:36:05PwnsomeWinis there like a site that shows different processors?
21:38:23wodzPwnsomeWin: simply show your photos - some of us are more or less familiar with typical uC used in mp3 players
21:38:44PwnsomeWinok
21:39:02PwnsomeWini dont even know if i opened the part with the processor, but ok
21:39:05PwnsomeWin>_>9
21:40:23PwnsomeWinalso i dunno if the quality is enough to tell
21:41:06wodzmortalis: interestingly show_logo() at the very begining has wrapped around lines - first 4 are garbage, then logo is quite ok and final update places version string in place of this garbage lines instead of the bottom
21:41:50bertrikour wiki page http://www.rockbox.org/wiki/SigmaTelSTMP3xxx mentions a "Creative MuVo" as having a STMP3520

21:49:37PwnsomeWinthere is a black thing above the usb connector that says 2206x

21:52:06bertrikpamaury, I think you looked at stmp3500 before, right?
21:52:23pamaurythat's the dsp based one right ?
21:53:08 Quit bitcraft (Remote host closed the connection)
21:53:53wodzmortalis: thats my crappy diff which works best (but still not 100% correct) http://www.pastie.org/4150275
21:54:39pamaurybertrik: why this question ?
21:55:11PwnsomeWinbecause i have a mp3 player that may use it
21:55:15PwnsomeWinand i want to port it
21:55:21bertrikI suspect that's the SoC inside the Creative MuVo that PwnsomeWin has
21:57:22pamauryPwnsomeWin: I don't want to prevent you from anything, but that will really really really be a hard task
21:57:39PwnsomeWinwell i thought it might be
21:57:46PwnsomeWinbut why?
21:57:48pamaurythe main problem here is the cpu
21:58:00PwnsomeWinwhat about the cpu?
21:58:05pamaurythat's a dsp, it can only do word accesses iirc and a word is 24-bits
21:58:39bertrikand possibly the muvo doesn't have dram, so probably limited to the on-chip memory
21:59:00 Quit kevku (Ping timeout: 272 seconds)
21:59:06PwnsomeWinoh
21:59:13pamaurythere is only one compiler I know for it, it's based on gcc 1.37, it doesn't even compile without ugly hacks
21:59:36PwnsomeWinwhat would be the first step to making a port for it?
22:00
22:00:36pamauryit has a weird memory architecture too (dsp) with two data buses, no bus can access the entire memory so you really want to have both so it's a nightmare c-wise
22:00:36pamauryand the compiler source code has comments like "this won't generate correct code". The first step would probably be to rewrite a compiler :-/
22:01:08PwnsomeWinand that'd take a while i assume?
22:01:11pamauryOr trust this one but there won't be anyone to help you since it's so old and not documented
22:01:29PwnsomeWinwhat language would i use to write a compiler? c?
22:01:43pamaurywell, the word=24-bit part is really weird, I guess most compilers will choke on that
22:02:30pamaurydepends, the best option is to port either gcc or llvm. gcc is in c (+lots of macros and said to te difficult to hack), llvm is in c++
22:02:57mortaliswodz: I tried to run wps with your previous diff, and I see issues with partial updates as you described. I think the reason of it is frequent switching between 24bit and 16bit
22:03:01pamauryhonestly, if you want to hack something, I think hack a more modern mp3 is a better idea :)
22:03:09PwnsomeWinok
22:03:24PwnsomeWinwell, i have 4 other mp3 players
22:03:35PwnsomeWin3 of them are sansa, and all have a stable port
22:03:45pamauryand it's real old also so the amount of memory on it is ridiculous
22:03:48PwnsomeWinthe last is my ipod shuffle 2g, but i have no idea where it is
22:04:18PwnsomeWinany ideas of a modern mp3 player that doesnt have a stable port?
22:04:45pamaurydepends on what you want to do, on the amount of work you are ready to to, and your knowledge
22:04:52mortaliswodz: in last diff you changed only vert_period and partial updates?
22:04:58bluebrotherdo you want to _hack_ or do you want to hack _a new port_? There is plenty of work that can be done using the existing ports
22:05:06PwnsomeWini have knowledge in a few programming languages if that helps
22:05:18 Join [Saint_] [0] (~Saint]@unaffiliated/saint/x-8516940)
22:05:32PwnsomeWini guess id hack an existing port, makes more sense since im new to this stuff
22:05:53wodzmortalis: and reordered things slightly in lcd_update()
22:06:20pamauryin any case you need to know c and low-level programming in c most precisely. When you are used to hack an existing softyware, you can move to a more challenging hack :)
22:06:23bluebrotheralso, there is other stuff than the firmware part of Rockbox you can look into if you're interested
22:06:45bluebrotherhow about fixing nano2g USB issues? ;-)
22:06:58PwnsomeWinfirst i gotta get a nano 2g
22:07:01PwnsomeWinhow much?

22:07:08[Saint_]Not necessarily.

22:12:14bluebrotherother stuff that comes into my mind are (a) TTS in Rockbox (b) test system (need to get my prototype cleaned up and published somewhere)
22:12:25bluebrotherPwnsomeWin: that would be (a)
22:12:30bluebrotheror write unit tests :)
22:12:44bluebrotherI really like to see unit tests but nobody is motivated to work on that :)
22:12:49wodzport png into core
22:12:59PwnsomeWinwhat is TTS?
22:13:05wodztext to speach

22:13:12*bluebrother too slow
22:13:15PwnsomeWinthat would be awesome
22:13:23PwnsomeWindo any ports already have tts?
22:13:33wodzPwnsomeWin: no
22:13:43bluebrotherno port does have a TTS
22:13:43PwnsomeWinok
22:14:02bluebrotherwe use prerendered clips for voice support, but that obviously only works for stuff we can prerender.
22:14:11bluebrotherand it requires the user to prerender the clips first
22:14:24PwnsomeWinshould i make tts for the clip+ or clip?
22:14:26wodzPwnsomeWin: if you are interested in TTS stuff I can share my work in this area.
22:14:27bluebrotheroh, and then there's always http://www.rockbox.org/wiki/MrSomeonesTodoList
22:14:36PwnsomeWinim interested in tts stuff
22:14:58bluebrotherPwnsomeWin: if you want to include a TTS in Rockbox it should work on all players (well, all that have the necessary capabilities)
22:15:05PwnsomeWinoh ok
22:15:08wodzPwnsomeWin: basically you have two options - eSpeak or flite.
22:15:16bluebrotherthere has been a GSoC project for that but it failed
22:15:19PwnsomeWindifference between them?
22:15:40bluebrotherhttp://www.rockbox.org/wiki/TTSInCore
22:15:44bluebrotherunfortunately
22:15:54wodzcrude port of eSpeak exists but in its current shape is not any near to be commitable
22:16:30*bluebrother suggests the pdf linked on that wiki page
22:16:34wodzflite is more advanced, gives better results but is technically harder to adapt and needs considerably more runtime resources
22:16:43webguest23do any of you guys deal with the builtin theme codes? only i noticed an error in the classic_statusbar theme which comes as default
22:16:46PwnsomeWinill go for eSpeak
22:16:54bluebrotherthere's also a potential license issue with espeak
22:16:59PwnsomeWinoh
22:17:30*bluebrother suggests to do some research before deciding which engine to use
22:17:31wodzit is not - we agreed that keeping good code separation with defines is enough
22:17:45PwnsomeWinokay
22:17:45bluebrotherwe did? Ok, fine with me then.
22:18:06wodzI mean we need to be able to compile v2+ only part or v3 if one wants

22:22:51bluebrotherah :)
22:23:19*bertrik wonders about the TTS recently discovered in a range of not-too-expensive mp3 players
22:23:48bertrikthere was a thread recently on the forum about this, I'll see if I can find it again
22:23:50bluebrotherthat would indeed be interesting
22:24:01wodzThe problem with flite is that it heavily uses malloc(). It is virtually impossible to get rid of this allocations so the solution is to live with it.
22:25:37wodzI hacked flite to use tlsf + simple allocator and it works this way. It needs ~4MB of runtime mem IIRC.

23:24:42belakIve got the sansa fuze... and idk if I have a v1 or v2... I installed rockbox a while ago, but I don't remember how to get into the original firmware to check... how can I do that?
23:27:45bluebrotherthe probably easiest way it to either check the file rockbox-info.txt
23:27:55bluebrotheror use Rockbox Utility and autodetect the player.
23:28:26bluebrotheras for booting into the Sandisk firmware you need to hold a button while booting. Check the manual for which one (left? Not sure)
23:28:55belakAh, o

23:45:01belakIs it possible to use the RockboxUtility with the iPod classic and dev builds?
23:46:58bluebrotherno, if by "classic" you mean the Ipod 6G
23:47:07belakYeah
23:47:21bluebrotherthen no, since there is no support for the 6G in Rockbox Utility
23:47:37belakMeh...
23:47:46bluebrotherwe could add support for installing builds though. Bootloader ... no (at least not easily)
23:47:58bluebrotherwell, installing a build is simply unzipping a zip archive
23:48:09belakI've got it installed just fine... just want a decent way to manage themes
23:48:11bluebrotherso it's not that complicated
23:48:16bluebrotheroh
23:48:33bluebrotherif you can compile Rockbox Utility you can get that going rather easily
23:48:54belakWhat would I have to change?
23:49:05bluebrotheror figure a differetn player with the same screen and use that instead :)
23:49:13bluebrotheradd a new player in rbutil.ini
23:49:24bluebrotherlike the gigabeats
23:49:39bluebrotherbut with the correct values for the 6g of course :)
23:49:58 Quit Wardo (Read error: Connection reset by peer)
23:50:02bluebrotherthe you can do almost everything except installing the bootloader
23:50:12*bluebrother considers adding the 6G as disabled target
23:51:53belakIs it possible to use the rbutil to get dev builds?
23:53:30bluebrotheryes
23:55:07bluebrotherhmm. Why does the development builds page not have the classic but the build table?
23:55:15bluebrotherthis is ... inconsistent :)
23:55:17belakYeah
23:55:22belakIt's not listed, but it's there
23:55:34bluebrotherit's listed in the build table
23:56:07bluebrotherso it's listed, but only in one of two tables :)
23:56:27belakheh
23:57:16gevaertsbluebrother: it's "unusable". The dev builds page has "unstable" and up
23:57:47belakgevaerts: "unusable"? Well... it works just fine, apart from the bootloader

23:58:07gevaertsbelak: "unusable a technical term here :)
23:58:13gevaertsbelak: "unusable" is a technical term here :)
23:58:46gevaertsYou can only get promoted to "unstable" if you can install using only rockbox.org tools
23:58:53bluebrothergevaerts: hmm. But it might make sense to add it to the other table as well −− after all they are development builds ;-)
