#rockbox log for 2002-08-14

00:01:26RipnetUKam i right in saying that the screen buffer is 1 byte for the first 1x8 column on the top left, then another byte for the 1pix wide column directly to the right of that and so on?
00:02:23Zagoryes
00:02:27adi|homegod damnit
00:02:37adi|homeare ppl ever giong to stop the 200 files limit discusion
00:02:40adi|homejesus
00:02:44RipnetUKta
00:03:23*adi|home wasn't commenting at RipnetUK, he was commenting at the emails
00:06:02 Part aku ("Client Exiting")
00:08:52RipnetUK:) how fast is this thing? is it worthwhile shifting screen data around a byte at a time (in which case you wont be able to easily smoothly scroll in the y direction) or is a bit at a time gonna be OK?
00:09:45Zagorwe've got about 50fps frame rate, so we probably want to be able to go bit-for-bit
00:12:03RipnetUKsorry, are u saying we have enough processing cycles left over to do it bit-by-bit, as opposed to a 8 bit column in one hit?
00:12:13RipnetUKthat would be easier
00:12:16adi|homeRipnetUK: whatcha working on?
00:12:29ZagorRipnetUK: are you talking horizontally or vertically?
00:12:39Zagorstart with whatever is easiest
00:12:55RipnetUKadi - im working on an experimental scrollbox, ie a large window a bit of which can be displayed on the screen at a given time, to allow the entire 3/4 lines of id3 to scroll as a block
00:12:59***Saving seen data "./dancer.seen"
00:13:05RipnetUKzag - vertically, hoz wouldnt be a problem either way
00:13:33RipnetUKzag - you are right... i will start with bit by bit, and optimize if it works/is too slow
00:17:20matslZagor: Playlist browsing seems wanted. I have a simpler idea.
00:17:42Zagormatsl: tell me
00:18:13matslWhy not just display the playlist.index
00:18:46matslIf next song is hit again, just increase the index and display it.
00:19:04matslWhen no more activity. Start playing that song.
00:19:11Zagorumm, that's an int
00:19:17Zagori don't get it
00:19:59matslok. Let say your on song nr 2.
00:20:35matslPress + and 3 is displayed. If you continue holding + the numbers 4,5,6.. etc will fly by on the screen.
00:20:42matslRelease + when you are there.
00:20:57Zagorwell, people want to see the names of the files. not just the number.
00:21:42matslI know but it will be rather slow and some filenames isn't that descriptive either in the beginning.
00:22:39matslWhen using id3 display you will also be confused since you will be browsing the playlist which contains filnames.
00:23:04matslZagor: just an idea anyway.
00:23:25Zagoryes. i'm not sure it will silence the wolfs, though :-)
00:24:10matslZagor: Probably not but probably much easier to implement.
00:25:21matslZagor: besides. When the wolfs see how sliw it will be to browse the playlist they come whining for the fast browse ;-)
00:25:38matslslim/slow ;-)
00:27:24Zagor:)
00:48:19RipnetUKgot the basics working... (at least a seperate buffer, which can be displayed on the main screen, at a given position, and a given amount of it), will continue tommorow... gotta sleep, thanks for yer help cu later

06:30:31telliottI must be missing something but how do I record with Rockbox (Archos Jukebox Recorder). I'm pretty sure I downloaded the right version.
06:32:03dwihn0rIt's not possible
06:32:21dwihn0rRockbox does only support playing music ... (at least, right now)
06:35:56telliottI'm still getting used to it. It does load playlists faster than the default software, and more than 999 tracks.
06:36:04dwihn0rYeah :)
06:36:06dwihn0rIt's rather kickass!
06:37:08telliottcan I create playlists "on the fly" while playing music?
06:37:31dwihn0rThat is not possible yet.
06:38:47telliottIs it possible for future firmware to improve record quality, using Lame or uncompressed WAV?
06:39:01dwihn0rerhm
06:39:04dwihn0rwhat do you mean?
06:39:33telliottbetter recording quality than with the default software.
06:39:59PsycoXulif somebody can figure out how to program the MAS's DSP they can do something with it
06:40:22dwihn0rYeah...
06:40:26telliottCool.
06:40:30dwihn0rProgramming the MAS is the key.
06:40:40PsycoXulbut otherwise its stuck with the mp3 encoder/decoder chip's default functionality
06:40:42dwihn0rBut it might require a combination of ninja tricks + zen
06:42:21PsycoXultelliott: ChanServ should have msg'd you with a reference to information
06:42:53telliottThat would be cool. I'm moving from a Rio Volt SP-250. This dosen't seem to have all the playback options that I've seen but it does play WITHOUT skipping while walking.
06:43:23telliottI did read the FAQ
06:44:17PsycoXul"`You know they've reintroduced the death penalty for
06:44:17PsycoXulinsurance company directors?'
06:44:17PsycoXul`Really?' said Arthur. `No I didn't. For what offence?'
06:44:17DBUGEnqueued KICK PsycoXul

08:49:18matslBagder: Organizational Q about the simulator icons. Did some more experiment with it yesterday and though I create the code under uisimulator/common ...
08:49:37Bagdersounds wise
08:49:53matsl... just to realize that this would create the first dependency from firmware to uisimulator!?
08:50:14Bagderno
08:50:26matslno!?
08:50:43Bagderseveral firmware functions are replaced with sim stuff when the sim is built
08:51:10matslI had to include a -I../common
08:51:34Bagderah, well the first include file to go into the common, yes
08:51:50Bagderbut that should not be made in the firmware makefile
08:52:03Bagderwe should pass it to it from the sim's makefile somehow
08:52:08Bagderpreferably at least
08:53:12matslI just added it in the x11/makefile
08:53:49Bagderaaaah, right, it never uses the firmware's makefile in the sim build
08:54:52matslBagder: OK. So I'm on the right track then!

09:18:30Zagorso even if the slower bit swap means we have to start the disk a few seconds earlier, we actually gain spindown time

10:10:15Zagorthe stack trace is ok, and a DEBUGF confirms this is the function that stops.

11:10:13Zagoruhhh, this odd address problem is not so easily solved :-(
11:10:54Zagoryou're right, linus. it's lseek's "fault"
11:12:25 Part bobTHC
11:12:51PsycoXulyeah all the values are the same as the first time except the PLL's which are what i said last
11:12:52Zagorthe problem is this: lseek(511); read(2000); *bang*
11:13:20Zagorthe read get's an odd address
11:13:27 Join bobTHC [0] (~bobTHC@AMarseille-206-2-1-9.abo.wanadoo.fr)
11:13:42Zagorhow the heck do we fix that...
11:14:09aakilZagor: It works when you do an lseek(510) though right?
11:14:18LinusNZagor: why would the read get an odd address for that?
11:14:19Zagorthe only thing I can think of is to read into a local buffer and memcpy to the odd address buffer. but that ain't no fun for 1MB mp3 data...
11:14:22Zagoraakil: yes
11:15:03ZagorLinusN: because read() copies single left-over byte from the previous sector and then calls fat_read() to read the next, into the next byte
11:15:36PsycoXulso i don't suppose any of you knows how to setup so that a loaded effect into an sblive dsp effects what you hear from the mic input... heh
11:16:02LinusNZagor: ah, i see
11:16:06aakilZagor: Could this be related to the fact that you need to read info a word-aligned buffer
11:16:19Zagoraakil: that is precisely the problem
11:18:04LinusNZagor: the easy approach is to round off the seek amount in mpeg.c
11:18:21PsycoXulheh guess not.. oh well
11:18:38LinusNwe don't need to skip the *entire* id3 tag
11:18:41Zagoryes, but it will bites us sooner or later somewhere else. it's a file.c problem
11:18:51LinusNZagor: yes it is
11:19:10Zagordoes the mas search byte-for-byte for the header? so a single bad byte doesn't affect much?
11:19:30LinusNno, a single bad byte doesn't hurt it
11:19:55Bagderit is a quick-fix for the immediate problem at least
11:19:58LinusNit will, however, lose the sync
11:20:17LinusNbut it loses it anyway today, when playing ID3 tags
11:20:22Bagderlose? it can't have one before, can it?
11:20:45LinusNsure it can, from the previous song
11:21:04Bagderright, if the following has no id3 tags or oddities
11:21:27LinusNit will lose it anyway because of the V1 tag...
11:21:34Bagderhehe
11:21:38Bagderit needn't
11:21:43Bagderyou could stop before that
11:21:45Zagorwe should skip that too
11:21:59LinusNand it *may* be a Good Thing to lose the sync...
11:22:10Bagderwhy so?
11:22:19LinusNotherwise we may hear strange sounds between songs
11:22:39LinusNbecause of the bit reservoir and stuff
11:22:49Zagorare you sure about that?
11:22:55BagderI think it would be better to skip the tags anyway and possibly go off sync on purpose

11:26:55Topic"rockbox - how hard can it be?" by Bagder (~daniel@as3-3-2.ras.s.bonet.se)
11:26:58Bagder:-)
11:31:06ZagorLinusN: can we do an 8-bit access to ATA_DATA ?
11:32:09LinusNi don't think so
11:32:28LinusNand why would we want that?
11:34:35LinusNi'd rather have read() return an error when the buffer address is odd
11:34:54Bagderwe need to support lseek() to an odd index
11:35:05Bagderimho
11:36:18LinusNbut i'd rather not impede performance because of it
11:36:31Bagdertrue
11:36:41Bagderwe need to detect the special occation somehow
11:38:45Zagorwe can read just the first and last byte of the sector 8-bit and the rest 16-bit. that wouldn't affect performance.
11:39:07Zagorbut i guess the ata interface doesn't work like that :-)
11:40:09LinusNi'm sure it doesn't
11:52:11Zagorhmm... we have the exact same problem in id3.c
11:52:46aakilHmmmm... it looks like the two bytes are being swapped due to endianness. Does the result buffer for swap.b also need to be word aligned?
11:54:20Zagorthat's not really relevant, since it's the storing of the 16-bit word in the odd address that crashes
11:55:07Zagorthe result buffer is a register :-)
11:55:58LinusNZagor: an odd-address aware ATA read loop will do it
11:56:16LinusNread 16 bits, write two bytes, read 16 bits...
11:56:35Zagoryes. will be slow, though :(
11:56:38LinusNslow, yes, but non-crashing
11:56:45Zagoryup
11:56:54LinusNand it will only choose to do it if the buffer address is odd
11:57:04Zagori'll test it
11:57:21LinusNso it will have one fast and one slow loop, and choose between them
11:58:02LinusNit can even be smarter than that, by shifting the register contents
11:59:40Zagorumm, you got some code for that? sounds too complex to be fast in my ears
12:00
12:00:29LinusNi don't. it would probably require some assembler code
12:04:26LinusNStill, the mpeg code must make sure that it doesn't seek() an odd number of bytes
12:04:39LinusNfor performance reasons
12:09:36Zagorthe dma is 16-bit, right?
12:10:04LinusNyes
12:10:07LinusNbut no
12:11:45Zagorcare to explain?
12:12:43LinusNi think it is 8-bit
12:13:20***Saving seen data "./dancer.seen"
12:13:33LinusNbut we give it addresses in 16-bit DRAM
12:13:46LinusNso it must be aligned
12:14:41LinusNstill, it only reads 8 bits at a time
12:14:42Zagori was just thinking how much chance we have at feeding only the exact mp3 data and no garbage
12:14:59LinusNi don't think the DMA cares
12:16:10LinusNi'd rather ditch that idea and go for performance
12:16:44Zagornow, yes. but it would be nice to only send mp3 data, to minimise the gap btwn tracks
12:16:59LinusNwe can do it half-hearted
12:17:21LinusNwe can load the entire file in memory, but advance the DMA pointer between tracks
12:17:45Zagordoesn't help if the address must be word aligned
12:17:46LinusNwe lose a few K of MP3 data, but it may be simpler
12:18:03LinusNi don't think the DMA address must be aligned
12:18:47Zagorok, nice then. we could just seek to the odd address and then read to mp3buf_write+1
12:19:47LinusN?
12:20:22Zagorseek(511); read(odd_addr);
12:20:41Zagora little too much low-level knowledge to be really kosher, but it would work
12:21:15LinusNso the read() would copy the leftover byte to the odd address and then perform word reads for the rest?
12:21:22Zagoryes
12:21:30LinusNyuck
12:21:40LinusNbut doable
12:22:05LinusNthen it has to store two pointers in the id3 info structure
12:22:16LinusNboth start and end of the track
12:25:18Zagorwhy? id3v1len tells us the end of track (adding that now)
12:25:56LinusNi am silly
12:26:26LinusNi still had the "reead-the-whole-shebang and advance the dma pointer" idea in my head
12:26:32Zagorok
12:42:00RipnetUKare there any docs on how fotns are stored? are they store in native (column) format? are they padded to a fixed width? im talking about the normal fixed fonts here
12:42:04RipnetUKfonts
12:42:27Zagorthat's being changed right now, so no docs
12:42:45Zagornot even the code is necessarily true :-)
12:43:13Zagorcopy lcd_putsxy() and you'll be fine :-)
12:43:45RipnetUKok, are we gonna dump the fixed width and prop. fonts, and go with only loadable fonts for simplicity

12:48:44PsycoXulheh
12:48:47PsycoXulsure why not
12:48:55LinusNhttp://linus.haxx.se/archos.mod
12:53:47PsycoXulwell i can't get it to distort so far
12:54:59PsycoXul4th try still sounds good
12:55:03LinusNdon't worry, the distortion will return... :-(
12:55:29LinusNit will HAUNT US FOREVER!!! HAHAHAHAAAAA!
12:56:27LinusNZagor: i thought you did the checksum thing with the Player settings saver?
12:56:35PsycoXulheh
12:56:44PsycoXul5th try
12:56:47PsycoXulstill no distortion
12:57:20PsycoXuli tried charging it for a minute
12:57:27PsycoXulbefore the last try
12:57:31ZagorLinusN: yeah, but I forgot to actually ever set last_checksum :-)
12:57:49Zagori'll merge his patch (or that one line of it, at least)
12:57:50LinusNwill you fix it?
12:57:53LinusNok
12:59:53PsycoXulso i read i think on the mailing list at one point one of you said a vu meter would be possible
12:59:59 Quit aakil (Read error: 110 (Connection timed out))
13:00
13:00:05PsycoXulon players too?
13:00:18RipnetUKto whoever is re-writing the LCD code - can we have a generic set of LCD routines which take a pointer to a buffer (and a buffer width) and work on those, so it can be shared between the 'real' LCD buffer, and the virtual ones I am working on?
13:00:30RipnetUKat the moment, i am duplicating all the existing functions
13:03:48PsycoXulLinusN: well it's 10 for 10 distortion-free
13:04:51LinusNPsycoXul: good news, but i just can't understand how this fix could make the distortion go away
13:04:59PsycoXulheh
13:05:06LinusNcan you reproduce it with an older rockbox version?
13:07:29LinusNPsycoXul: the MAS3507D doesn't have any registers where we can read the current output energy (for a VU meter)
13:08:00PsycoXuland thats how you'd do it on the recorder? there's no other tricks?
13:09:01 Join Blaster_Master [0] (~noone@194.19.130.1)
13:11:17LinusNPsycoXul: no other tricks. There are two registers (Left and Right) for exactly that purpose on the MAS3587F
13:11:43Blaster_MasterA quick question : (on the player version)is it at all possible to reduce the textsize and incorporate some kind of progressbar (like on the player) ? or just reserve one of the lines of text to graphics(progressbar)
13:12:29LinusNBlaster_Master: what do you want to accomplish?
13:12:32bobTHChe use another dsp ... Micronas MAS 3587F and perhaps it's implemented in
13:13:11bobTHCsorry for the lag...
13:13:14bobTHC:)
13:13:16ZagorBlaster_Master: there is no graphics on the player, only characters. although a few characters can be redefined to make very simple graphics
13:13:29PsycoXul8 chars at a time
13:13:35PsycoXuland they can be animated
13:13:35LinusN4 on the older LCD
13:14:39PsycoXuland they're like 5x8 but the bottom line only shows in double-height iirc
13:14:41Blaster_Mastereven a | or > like this >>> = 37,5%
13:15:13Blaster_Masterwould help, or just numbers
13:16:23PsycoXulwe could draw a line accross the bottom of the first 8 chars .. heh
13:16:34PsycoXulwith like a little mark on each end
13:16:55Blaster_Masteroh well it is just be bitching :) , if you dont implement it,,, so what ill just buy the player :oD
13:17:20PsycoXulhuh?
13:17:29LinusNYeah, an ASCII progress bar is always possible to do
13:17:37PsycoXulits the recorder's that already have a progress bar i think...?
13:18:09 Nick LinusN is now known as Linus|lunch (~linus@labb.contactor.se)
13:18:28Linus|lunchPsycoXul: keep on testing the distortion
13:18:43PsycoXulheh
13:18:48Linus|lunchtry to get it back with an older rockbox version and then try the new again
13:20:12Blaster_Masterperhaps : >|−−−−-< ... >-|−−−−< ... >−−|−−-< ... >−−-|−−< and so on

13:22:13ZagorBlaster_Master: for a 4 minute song, it would only move every 20 seconds or so. not very exciting.
13:23:07Bagderif you redefine the char in the mean time...
13:23:15Bagderyou can move it more often
13:23:28Blaster_Mastercorrect but if it is possible to subdevice each - with - then / then | then \ and -
13:23:28Zagorright
13:23:41Bagderhow man pixels wide are the player characters?
13:23:45Bagder6?
13:23:51Zagori still question the point. numbers say a lot more than a bar.
13:24:12PsycoXul5
13:24:12Blaster_Masteryes but , still a bar is fancy
13:24:22PsycoXulwith 8 chars you can have 40 pixels wide
13:24:41Blaster_Masterperhaps an option between number or bars ...
13:26:12BagderI'd say that it would take an implementation for people to try in order to judge properly
13:27:24Zagoryes
13:29:49Blaster_Masterif a cahr is 8 pixels wide and can be changes, why not a one dot at a time it world make 8*8=64 point to move around with. (asuming the char can be altered)
13:30:04Bagderit is 5 pixels
13:30:09Bagder5*8 = 40
13:31:31Blaster_Master4 minutes = (4*60)/40=6 seconds for a update
13:31:43Bagderyes
13:31:55Blaster_MasterTHAT world ..... rock
13:32:07Bagderwell, feel free to submit a patch
13:32:18Blaster_Master:D
13:32:25PsycoXulwell
13:32:51bobTHCdistorotion or not distortion ? ;)
13:33:17PsycoXulis there already a 5x8 or 5x7 font that can be put into defined-patterns?
13:37:09Bagderwe have such a font as .bdf sure
13:37:10Linus|lunchYou guys still forget that the old LCD has only 4 user-defined characters
13:37:16Bagderno
13:37:22Bagderthis progress bar would need only one
13:37:27 Nick Linus|lunch is now known as LinusN (~linus@labb.contactor.se)
13:37:40Bagderthe rest would be '-' or something
13:37:51PsycoXulhmm
13:37:52Bagderand that single one would be reprogrammed when moved
13:38:07LinusNoh, i misunderstood. i thought you ditched the −−−−|−−- idea
13:38:13 Quit mistax ()
13:38:24Bagderthe −−−−|−−- idea needs only one reprogrammable letter
13:38:43Bagderto give single-pixel precision that is
13:38:51LinusNoh, i misunderstood. i thought you ditched the −−−−|−−- idea
13:39:54*Zagor gets a sense of Deja Vu
13:40:11bobTHC:)
13:41:03Bagdertoday's subscriber count is.... 210
13:42:31PsycoXulwell if you're only using 1 custom char, you can push that pixel accross the whole 55 pixel width...

13:48:26mistaxok, Linus I'm back, I've been scandisking and complaining a bit about the sound quality issue on the players
13:48:44mistaxand now I've updated to the newest mod
13:48:56LinusNmistax: try my latest hack: http://linus.haxx.se/archos.mod
13:49:12mistaxk
13:49:22LinusNPsycoXul: this is great news!
13:49:34PsycoXulyeah lets see if it works for mistax
13:49:46mistaxold display, right?
13:49:46LinusNby the way, i mailed a bunch of questions to Micronas
13:50:02LinusNmistax: sorry, it's new. you want old?
13:50:06mistaxyeah
13:50:18LinusNhang on...
13:51:12LinusNTo provide you appropriate support kindly provide us some information about your company and project (application, features, schedule, volume) as well as the version of MAS3507D you are using.
13:51:27LinusNhah...

13:55:01Blaster_Masterwhen my archos distorts, i turn the volume,bass and trebble down to 0 , reboots and turns them down again until the distortion is gone....
13:55:39Blaster_Masterthe distortion disappears then bass is turned below 3
13:55:46LinusNBlaster_Master: does it help for you to turn the treble up instead of down?
13:55:46Blaster_Masteror dampenes
13:56:12Blaster_Masteron werry little
13:56:30Blaster_Masterthe bass is the "main" thing on mine
13:56:38LinusNBlaster_Master: then you have another type of distortion
13:56:45mistaxyeah defenetely need some work on the bass
13:56:59LinusNBlaster_Master: can you hear the distortion through the Line-Out jack as well?
13:57:52Blaster_Masteryep, it is there also... and is not bieng affected by the bass sttting
13:58:02Zagorbah, my root directory starts at sector 0x25320... fat sure is fun!
13:58:11PsycoXulBlaster_Master: have you tried leaving the bass and volume at the defaults and turning the trebble all the way up?
13:58:37LinusNBlaster_Master: you should try my mod too
13:58:59Blaster_Masterhowever if i put the archos 5.07a software on it is still there!! but when i use the Flat option it all goes away. i the put on the rockbox software and the distortion "resumes"
13:59:14PsycoXulhmm weird
13:59:38LinusNBlaster_Master: then you have problems with your headphones/amplifier
14:00
14:00:37Blaster_Masterwerry, i thourght i had broken it, but i fixed as described klater, might it be that the new values (7dB) i added to the allready present value for amplification ?
14:01:06*Blaster_Master spells badly
14:01:44LinusNi don't understand what you mean? New values?
14:03:13mistaxwhat volume have you got, It works fine with 74% and starts distortin at 76&
14:03:17Blaster_Masterwhen rockbox starts up all sound values is set to 70%,7db and 7db , i asume the those values is written somewhere ?
14:03:44Blaster_Master)not now ofcourse, now it saves the values)
14:03:51LinusNyes of course. they are sent to the MP3 decoder and the DAC
14:04:37Blaster_Masterwhat is those values i ADDED instead of set to ....
14:05:07LinusNah, now i see what you mean. you mean that the values are added...
14:05:13LinusNno they are not
14:06:02LinusNthe reason that the distortion returns when you install the rockbox again is that rockbox does not have a Flat setting
14:08:01Zagorboo. fseek() only handles 2G files :(
14:08:13LinusNhow lame :-)

14:23:01Zagormessy
14:23:48LinusNZagor: ?
14:24:54Zagormy fat test code runs on the unix box, accessing an image. but the ideal test image, of course, is my usb connected archos on /dev/scsi/host1/bus0/target0/lun0/part1.
14:25:53Zagorbut fseek() (which I use to read sectors from the image) can't handle that big a file, while lseek seems to be able to do that. too bad symbols lseek/open/close/read are already taken by the code I want to test...
14:26:20Zagori'll have to do sime trick like in the sims

14:28:55Bagderif the option is gonna remain like that
14:29:21LinusNI think we will do it a little different in the future

14:55:27Blaster_Masteranytime
14:57:01Blaster_Masterthis might sound like bull, but i think the general sound quality improoved ....
14:57:31LinusNit may very well be so
14:57:49Blaster_Masterwhat did you do ?
14:58:01Blaster_Mastermagic ?
14:58:17LinusNi wrote 0 to a register in the DAC that is 0 by default at powerup :-)
14:58:57LinusNand i flipped the WSEN pin before initializing the MAS3507D, to reset it
14:59:46LinusNthe DAC write ensured that the sample data from the MAS is interpreted correctly and not being shifted one bit
14:59:55Blaster_Masterperhaps it gets odd readings at startup (tri-stated signals)
14:59:58LinusNthat might have been the disatortion problem
15:00
15:00:28Blaster_Masterok
15:00:30LinusNthe MAS reset was because it seemed to ignore the PLL settings otherwise
15:00:42LinusNand played the music at the wrong pitch
15:00:45RipnetUKwoohoo :) got fonts rendering on my scrollboxes - ive had a thought, the actual buffer can be treated as a scrollbox, with its buffer* happening to be the real LCD buffer, and then we can use the same print/line drawing etc routines for both... what dya think?
15:02:30CtcpIgnored 1 channel CTCP requests in 0 seconds at the last flood
15:02:30*Bagder doesn't get it
15:03:15RipnetUKbadger - you mean me?
15:03:23Bagderyes ;-)
15:03:29Mode"#rockbox -o adi|work " by ChanServ (ChanServ@services.)
15:05:44RipnetUKwhat I have done is defiend a struct for the scrollbox info, buffer address, size, current scroll pos, position on screen etc, so we can have mroe than 1 of them. I ahve copied and hacked the line drawing stuff, the SET_PIXEL and CLEAR_PIXEL macros, to take a new first param - a * to the struct, and they now work on those. If we have one where the buffer is the real lcd_buffer, and the width is LCD_WIDTH aetc, those generic routines i made/nicked will
15:06:02RipnetUKive also got a draw_scrollbox function, which renders it, and is called from lcd_update,
15:06:29RipnetUKall working nicely... im a bit worried about the ongoing changes to lcd.c... but im having fun, and my c is all coming back to me now
15:06:49Bagderright, so you can basicly set a pointer to refer to the frame buffer of your choice?
15:08:15RipnetUKyes, but its slightly mroe complex than that, because the drawing routines need to know the size (x,y) of the buffer to calculate the correct addresses for a given x,y
15:08:30Bagderright, I was simplifying
15:08:48BagderI think it is the right way to proceed
15:09:07LinusNRipnetUK: so lcd_update is a little more complex now?
15:09:18RipnetUKcool :) im now going to work on getting it scrolling, and then hook it into tree.c so we can have the entire ist scrolling back and forth...
15:09:59RipnetUKlinux - actually, lcd_update just calls my draw_all_scrollboxes, thats the only change. It copies all the scrollboxes (1 at the mo) into the real buffer, before it does its hardware magic to display it
15:10:17LinusNi'm worried about performance
15:10:20RipnetUKi think it would be too complex if we have multiple buffers to check each pixel to see which buffer it is in
15:10:20Bagderyes, lcd_update() still reads the same frame buffer, right?
15:10:43RipnetUKyeah, but we could find out which region (scrollbox) a given x,y is in as we render the pixels, if my way is too slow
15:10:51Bagderyes
15:11:02RipnetUKafter i get it scrolling left/right, im gonna try it on real hardware...
15:11:07BagderLinusN: it doesn't change performance unless you scroll a lot
15:11:33LinusNoh?
15:11:43Bagdersince lcd_update() still works as today
15:12:00RipnetUKim copying bit-by-bit at the moment, so there is toom for optimization there by doing it byte-by-byte like lcd_bitmap does
15:12:29BagderRipnetUK: also, you're likely to want to use the lcd_update_rect() from the scroll thread
15:12:37LinusNbut lcd_update copies the scrollboxes to the framebuffer before updating, right?
15:12:45Bagderyes

15:12:57 Quit Blaster_Master ()
15:13:06BagderLinusN: of course that takes time
15:13:07LinusNBagder: so then there is worse performance
15:13:13Bagderhuh?
15:13:22Bagderthere's no scroll today, so of course a scroll takes more time than none
15:13:25TotMacherwhat is the disortion problem ?
15:13:41LinusNTotMacher: some player units have crappy sound with rockbox
15:13:48TotMacherahh
15:13:48TotMacherok
15:14:11Bagderhowever, if the scrollbox is a pre-written buffer the scrolling is only done with thay copy without lcd_puts() being used
15:14:17LinusNBagder: all i want is that lcd_update takes the same time as today when no scrolling is done
15:14:42BagderLinusN: yes, and I believe it will
15:15:03LinusNRipnetUK: copying bit-by-bit???
15:15:41Bagderbit by bit is gonna be very slow
15:16:19LinusNhow about using lcd_bitmap()?
15:16:44Bagderno, writing a custom one is much faster

15:50:23Bagderis anyone looking at the rolo problems?
15:50:30LinusNnot me
15:51:24Zagorme neither
15:52:50matslIs balance already added?
15:53:04LinusNi am looking into it now
15:53:34matslI was confused by zagors note
15:53:49Zagori was referring to browsing with the remote
15:53:52LinusNhe was talking about the remote control
15:54:03matslSo I gather ...
15:54:33matslLinusN: yes -100% and 100% for balance is as good as 0-100% for volume. same thing isn't it.
15:54:52*Bagder agrees
15:54:57LinusNok, i'll add Balance this evening
15:55:25Bagderabout the rolo, I think it would be really cool to get that running
15:55:33LinusNyeah, i know
15:55:36Bagderwe could get more people into running rockbox by default
15:56:25LinusNi'll take a peek at it this evening too
15:56:37Bagderyou're a cliff ;-)
15:56:46LinusNi'd like it too, to run the gdb stub easier
15:56:51matslLinusN: An alternative to balance is to have two sliders. One for each channel. Squeeze that one into two lines on the Player!
15:57:20Zagorbalance is much simpler
15:57:24LinusNstill, it has to translate into one or two numbers for the internal processing
15:57:30LinusNthe UI stuff is secondary
15:57:31Bagderwell, with the 55-pixel −−−−|−−- bar it could work
15:57:37*matsl just joking zagor
15:58:20matslI know. I will probably never touch balance except to test it.

17:02:40Bagderprobably
17:02:55BagderI didn't use it standalone though
17:03:08BagderI made it get used from within the sim and printf()ed to stdout
17:03:10matslI see that now when I read again.
17:03:56matslBagder: Something for tools instead?
17:04:18Bagderyes it would be really good to make a standalone bmp => C bitmap tool
17:04:58matslAny comments before I try it.
17:05:35Bagdernot really, just copy n' paste the bmp code and it shouldn't be that tricky

17:25:24bobTHCfor the recorder
17:42:39notchbit small for us getting older.... the recorder screen is so small - 4x6 may be readable if it was a bigger size
17:43:38notchin fact how about 20x30 for use when driving?
17:43:39bobTHC5x7 ?
17:43:52bobTHCwhen displaying listing
17:44:26bobTHC20x30 ! it's a bit large
17:44:44bobTHConly 3 or 4 lines...
17:46:02notchbut you are probably about 1m away from the unit when driving :-) Dont want to have too many crashes whilst squinting at the screen :-)
17:46:33bobTHC2 lines max !

20:23:31Zagorit's not against the latest cvs. i'm working on it.
20:23:45elinenbeah... that is the problem.
20:23:59Zagorlooks like a very good patch, though
20:24:08elinenbewell, Zagor, the rockbox gods wish you good luck
20:24:37dwihno Cool done, by Hardu
20:24:40dwihnoHardeep
20:25:09elinenbeI wonder how hard it would be to make audible fast forward and rewind? :)
20:25:26Zagornot very hard, but this is a great middle-step that I didn't ever think of
20:25:48dwihnoaudible ffw is not required imho
20:25:49elinenbeI think when you hit stop that the audio should fade out quickly −−- just move the volume towards zero.
20:25:58Zagordwihno: of course it is, but this is a good step
20:26:10elinenbethen reset the volume once the audio has stopped. winamp does this and it sounds wonderful
20:26:17Zagorelinenbe: nice idea
20:26:19dwihnosome kind of ffw/rew acceleration would be neat and prove extreme useful for audio tapes
20:26:39 Nick elinenbe is now known as elinenbe|store (trilluser@pcp02254422pcs.wanarb01.mi.comcast.net)
20:26:44dwihnoI agree. nice idea elinenbe|store
20:26:48dwihno:-)
20:27:13dwihnoZagor: that font editing software proved a trifle difficult to use... I've gotten quite far with the conversion though.
20:28:22Zagordwihno: ok. maybe there are better programs, i just sent you the first i found
20:28:54dwihnoZagor: It's ok! :) I just had to get an X server and now it works... Thanks for the link btw.
20:30:43dwihnoIs the font loading code ready for propfonts?
20:31:00Zagorno
20:31:09dwihnoah, okay... it's no stress really...
20:31:09Zagori've been busy with other code
20:31:18dwihnoATA speedups etc. ?
20:31:29Zagoryup, and the id3 tag bug fix
20:31:55dwihnoid3 tag bug?
20:32:07dwihnoIs the speed boost from the ATA stuff big?
20:32:55Zagoryes, quite
20:33:25dwihnoCool! :D
20:33:38dwihnoSpeedups = pleasant surprise :)
20:33:45Zagornow buffer filling takes about two seconds excluding spinup
20:34:19Zagorand the player is probably even faster
20:34:33Zagor(only tested it in debug mode, which is a lot slower due to all debug output)
20:34:37dwihnoThe only thing I think about is the speed difference between the player and the recorder...
20:34:50Zagoryeah, there's something fishy about it

20:36:08Zagorno
20:36:13dwihnoIsn't it possible to do a hw mod on the recorder to use the parallel bus instead of the serial?
20:38:34Zagorpossibly

21:28:26mistaxhow many times have u desoldered?!
21:29:53mistaxand soldered back?!
21:30:36Zagoroh, I don't know. 5-6 maybe
21:30:46mistaxI'm gonna buy an external charger tomorrow
21:31:17Zagorif you have the money, go for a quick charger. they are lovely.
21:31:39mistaxthen I'm gonna wait till I've bought some new LEDs and porhaps some sound mod stuff and then desolder an UPGRADE!
21:32:02Zagorhehe
21:32:23mistaxu've got any tip?!

21:35:23Zagorthe ffwd patch?
21:35:42elinenbe|storeyeah. I am getting CRAZY behavior
21:36:01elinenbe|storeit says it is in the same song, but every 2 seconds it loads a new song up.
21:36:09elinenbe|storebrb
21:36:38Zagoreven if you never use the search feature?
21:37:03elinenbe|storeyeah
21:37:22Zagoralways?
21:38:10elinenbe|storeyeah
21:38:21Zagorvery strange!
21:40:27Zagorit works totally flawless on my rec20 and player-old
21:41:41Zagordid you ever try the fat patch before I added the search code?
21:42:42mistaxdoes your backlight work any good on your player-old, zaGOR?!
21:42:54mistaxoops caps-lock sorry
21:43:02Zagoryup, works fine
21:43:12mistaxmine doesn't
21:43:30mistaxmy god how do I handle my player!
21:43:57mistaxthe DC contact is pressed in the backlight broke
21:48:26dwihnoZagor: optimizing the decoding code perhaps
21:48:37dwihnoZagor: but if a hw mod is required it might as well be skipped.
21:49:45dwihnoZagor: but I still think it would be quite neat with soime kind of toggle for the ffw function for let's say ... audio tapes
21:49:51RipnetUKsorry to be dozy, but would you lot prefer if I made my scrollbox stuff a #ifdef, if so, where is the correct place to declare it, config.h?
21:49:56Zagorwhoa! the player fills the buffer in less than two seconds.
21:50:11Zagordwihno: you can configure the stepping size
21:50:30dwihnoZagor: already? kickass! :)
21:50:32Zagorso set it to 30 seconds and it's be very quick
21:51:10ZagorRipnetUK: if could be good during development. just put it in your Makefile
21:51:16Zagors/if/it/
21:51:17dwihnoZagor: is it easily configured, I mean, if a skip to the configuration menu is required in order to activate a faster searching it's a rather dull environment to work in :(
21:51:34Zagordwihno: the config is saved nowadays, you know?
21:51:37RipnetUKzag - thanks
21:51:43Zagorbut, yes, i'm working on repeat accelleration
21:51:58mistaxwhat is that rs232 converter mod goog for?!
21:52:07mistaxgood
21:52:15Zagormistax: target debugging with gdb
21:52:19Zagorit rocks
21:53:01dwihnoZagor: I know, but if I listen to a 5 minute track and then switch to an audio tape, I need to go to the configuration and modify the settings...
21:53:10mistaxand the line in 2 way serial port mod?!
21:53:36dwihnoZagor: ffw speed should be togglable with let's say a function button
21:56:08Zagordwihno: no. it's too special and underused to be on such an important function. how often do you toggle search speed on your cd player?
21:56:19Zagoraccelleration and step size config will be enough
21:56:41dwihnoZagor: how often do you have several audio books on CD? :)
21:56:43Zagormistax: that's what you use for gdb debugging
21:57:03mistaxok..

23:04:20Zagorelinenbe|store: still getting crazy behaviour? did you run the bleeding edge or compile yourself?
23:08:28mistaxok
23:08:53LinusNZagor: did you reset the config block version to 0?
23:09:54Zagoryes, we never understood why you bumped it

23:10:21Zagorand added two bytes for contrast
23:10:30Zagorevening
23:10:50LinusNthe reason was to make sure that the checksum check fails on older versions that has the contrast setting set to 0
23:11:06LinusNthe double contrast was a mistake
23:11:32LinusNto avoud that bug report we got anyway
23:11:54LinusNi just couldn't understand why he got contrast=0
23:12:03LinusNas i had taken countermeasures
23:12:05Zagorok, so we should set it back to 1?
23:12:19LinusNyes
23:12:37LinusNi'll do that
23:12:42Zagorgood
23:13:33mistaxlinus:http://www.elfa.se/elfa/produkter/se/20/2019145.htm

23:42:37RipnetUKdoes sleep implicitly yield as well? i assume it is a kind of 'yield and I do not want to be called again for x seconds' is that correct?
23:42:58dwihnoYay!
23:43:02dwihnoWarcraft 3 sure is addictive
23:43:06ZagorRipnetUK: yes
23:43:10RipnetUKthanks Zagor
