15:09:19HesIf the feature name is 'autoplay', i'd suggest /autoplay.m3u
15:10:59Hesand storing the autoplay bit in the first bit of 0x10 of the config block
15:11:06Heswhich the patch actually does:
15:11:09Hes+ rtc_config_block[0x10] = (unsigned char)global_settings.autoplay;
15:11:20Hesit just documents it differently:
15:11:20Hes+0x11 0x25 <autoplay byte>

17:14:00mecraw193kbit avg stopped after 73 seconds
17:14:50mecrawdo we need to calculate it based on avg bitrate?
17:15:22Linuswe could, to optimize buffer usage

18:25:10matpmecraw: i like the idea of your patch. i reckon i'd use something like that
18:25:29mecrawi was wondering if i was the only one
18:43:50 Quit aakil ()
18:48:01***Saving seen data "./dancer.seen"
18:51:01matpI was sat in the car last night, and a song came on that I hadn't heard for years. Of course, then I wanted to play the whole album
18:51:55matpand had to fiddle around loads. i wonder if we could play the album from the beginning.
18:52:47mecrawnot without searching id3 tags or knowing the naming convention
18:54:29mecrawanother usability issue is where do we start the playlist from when the user switches back to shuffle?
18:55:07matpi have "playlist.m3u" in each album directory ...
18:55:52mecrawi'm thinking of going back to the last shuffled song and going to the next song in the shuffled list
18:55:53matpstart from where it was previously
18:56:10matpyes, what does it do now?
18:56:41mecrawit finds the seek position of the song it was just playing, and then advances in the list
18:57:25mecrawthis could theoretically put you at a point in the shuffled list that you've already heard
18:57:57matpim not sure i understand. it reshuffles ?
18:59:34mecrawit reshuffles using the original seed
19:00
19:00:18mecrawwhen it switches shuffle mode, i look up the current seek position in the index list...
19:00:21 Join Lovechild [0] (~david@pc193015.stofanet.dk)
19:00:30mecrawthen sort it, or shuffle it accordingly...
19:00:54mecrawthen loop through the list looking for that seek position and set the index to that position
19:03:05matpi am being thick. how could you be in a position that you'd already heard?
19:04:26mecrawyou switch shuffle mode off and listen for awhile, and eventually get to a song that you already heard in shuffle mode, then you switch shuffle back on...
19:04:48mecrawyou will be back at an earlier point in the shuffled list
19:07:32matpyes, it should store the seek position of the song that was playing when you switched off shuffle
19:08:07matpthen advance from there when you switch shuffle back on
19:08:41mecrawi agree
19:09:43matpphew, i'm glad we sorted that out :)
19:10:18mecrawi was thinking of waiting to update the patch until the first one is incorporated into cvs, if it ever is
19:10:54matpit's a great feature anyway. i really would like to default to first entry in playlist.m3u in the current directory though
19:11:08*Lovechild is away: - diner
19:11:25matpyou sound like you think it might not be accepted into the build
19:12:08mecrawi'm just a humble servant to the cvs committers of the Rockbox world
19:13:07mecrawmy problem with the playlist.m3u is that it's not a convention that everyone else employs
19:13:48mecrawincluding me :)
19:13:54matpsure, maybe it could be an option.
19:14:12matpwhat do you call them. i use grip, and it defaults to playlist.m3u
19:14:59matpbut you're right. people may name them differently for each album.
19:15:29mecrawi don't have a playlist for each album... i just name the tracks <track no> - title - artist - album.mp3 and play the directory when i want to hear a specific album
19:16:11matpi see
19:16:52matpmaybe they could be played in alphabetical order...
19:17:51mecrawthat basically means switching out of playlist mode altogether, and going into directory mode
19:18:24mecrawthe manual solution is to turn off shuffle and hit back a few times until you're at the first song
19:19:17matpsure, but i'm as lazy as you are, so I know you know what I mean :)
19:19:43mecrawaren't all programmers lazy?
19:20:48matpmost definitely. well, i gotta go. i'm just finishing work.

20:22:05Linuswhazzup?
20:22:25Zagorpacking... haven't written a line of code today :-(
20:22:37Linuswhat a drag
20:25:00Zagorfixed the playpack problem?
20:25:59Linusyou mean the low watermark ?
20:26:18Zagoryeah, if that's what causes the 5sec stop reported in mail
20:27:04*Lovechild is back
20:28:09Linusyes it is. since the whole buffer is filled before the bitswap, the first chunk of loaded data is played before the bitswap begins on the large chunk
20:28:31Linusso we need to load a larger chunk before playback starts
20:28:35Zagorah, good. i just didn't see the cvs mail
20:28:49Linusit isn't committed
20:28:52Zagorok

20:30:51Linusthe battery/volume/play status on the player works quite fine now
20:31:41Linusbut i had to stop the work on that until i have fixed the pplayback
20:31:55Zagorok
20:32:17Linuswe probably want to calculate the watermark dynamically
20:33:12Zagoryup

21:06:47Zagorsilly of us. we've always said the recorder is slower, but I only tested the 320kbit on the player

I do it with the latest code and the first mp3 doesn't load. I got as far as throwing up some text on the screen and the file has an extra slash and a garbage char prepended to the file after calling playlist_next. Anyway I resorted to the older playlist_next code and
