00:41:29 | Bagder | oh |
00:41:33 | Bagder | wrong |
00:41:49 | Jet8810 | hehe |
00:41:52 | Bagder | int lcd_getstringsize(unsigned char *str, unsigned int font, int *w, int *h) |
00:41:59 | Bagder | if propfonts is used |
00:42:56 | Silly_Fly | so it puts the height and width in h and w, right? but then what it returns? |
00:43:56 | Bagder | the width there too |

00:53:43 | Zagor | yes |
00:53:51 | mecraw | ok |
00:55:58 | Bagder | adi|home: remember the q for the faq about changing the player font? ;-) |
00:56:58 | Bagder | Zagor: check this |
00:57:18 | Bagder | "The PBDR stays at FBBF no matter what button I press! (I tried all of them once I found that ON had no effect)" |
00:57:37 | Zagor | lovely... |

00:58:44 | Zagor | ok. hi lohap. |
00:58:57 | lohap | hi all i was just wonmdering is there any walkthroughs showing you how to mnt a recorder 20 in linux |
00:59:23 | lohap | as ive just ported to linux and im a newbie |
00:59:28 | Zagor | lohap: plug it in, run "mount -t vfat /dev/sda1 /mnt/archos" |
00:59:49 | Bagder | ... if you have the proper modules, yes ;-) |
01:00 |
01:00:00 | Zagor | riht |
01:00:02 | Zagor | right |
01:00:23 | Zagor | lohap: which linux distro are you using? Red Hat? |
01:00:32 | lohap | mandrake 8.2 |
01:00:51 | Bagder | you run usb2 or usb1.1? |
01:00:59 | lohap | both |
01:01:22 | Zagor | ok. you need to patch your kernel to get usb2 running, so let's just start with usb1.1 |
01:01:34 | lohap | ok then lol |
01:02:02 | Zagor | d you have a directory called /proc/bus/usb ? |
01:02:46 | lohap | barr with mounting it now |
01:03:36 | * | adi|home hmmms to Bagder? |
01:04:02 | Bagder | adi|home: that q about changing font on the player is a good faq subject |
01:04:36 | lohap | its says sda1 dosnt exsist brb need to reboot |
01:04:38 | | Quit lohap ("Client Exiting") |
01:05:33 | adi|home | ahh.. got ya... |
01:05:35 | adi|home | will do |
01:05:50 | adi|home | so is the 'games on the player' questions |
01:07:00 | Bagder | yes |
01:07:13 | adi|home | btw... |
01:07:31 | adi|home | if we are willing to load a config file at boot/exit usb mode |
01:07:39 | adi|home | i thin i have a nice little scheme for menu options |
01:07:50 | adi|home | ie: having menus/functions listed that only the user wants |
01:08:25 | adi|home | Zagor have you discussed the use of a 'rockbox' directory under root yet? |
01:08:58 | Zagor | no, but someone mentioned it the other day and I think .rockbox would be good dir name |
01:09:22 | Bagder | .rockbox is however crap for windows people |
01:09:24 | adi|home | nods |

01:09:37 | Zagor | is it? why? |
01:09:40 | Bagder | I tried on my NT at work |
01:09:45 | adi|home | what _might_ work... |
01:09:49 | adi|home | is looking for both |
01:09:49 | Bagder | I can't make a dir named like that |
01:09:54 | lohap | woo mounted it is there anyway to like click on summat and have it do it for you |
01:09:57 | adi|home | and giving one precedence over the other |
01:10:04 | Zagor | Bagder: even from the prompt? |
01:10:08 | adi|home | ie: you can put your files in either .rockbox or rockbox |
01:10:13 | Bagder | Zagor: I didn't try that |
01:10:19 | Bagder | I was in shock |
01:10:58 | Zagor | Bagder: what did you expect? this was windows! |
01:11:01 | adi|home | Bagder: the graphics.. for the t-shirts |
01:11:11 | Bagder | yes? |
01:11:11 | adi|home | is there any way we could make the ones on the main page thumbnails? |
01:11:18 | adi|home | the full image takes way to long to dl. |
01:11:32 | Zagor | heh, they *are* thumbnails... |
01:11:42 | mecraw | FYI: i have no problem creating .rockbox directory in windows |
01:12:03 | Zagor | mecraw: in explorer or from the prompt? |
01:12:09 | mecraw | prompt |
01:12:20 | mecraw | it doesn't work in explorer |
01:12:37 | Zagor | mecraw: but you can see it and navigate into it with the explorer? |
01:12:38 | lohap | i have it working with usb1.1 how do i get ti working with usb 2.0 in mandrake 8.2 |
01:12:51 | adi|home | really.. those are thumbnails.. damn they took forever to pull down :) |
01:12:55 | Zagor | lohap: you need to download, patch and compile a new kernel. |
01:12:56 | mecraw | i think so, one sec |
01:13:41 | mecraw | Zagor: no problem going into it in explorer once it's created |
01:13:56 | Zagor | mecraw: excellent. ".rockbox" it is, then |
01:14:05 | adi|home | hmm win2k i can make .rockbox with no prob from prompt.. |
01:14:29 | Bagder | I guess from prompt is the keyword |
01:14:40 | adi|home | hmm let me try from icon |
01:15:58 | Zagor | lohap: hmm, looks like you don't have to patch anymore. just update to 2.4.19 |
01:16:11 | Bagder | really? cool |
01:16:40 | lohap | right then btw when i download something to the desktop in kde3.0 its dosnt show although it show in /home/lohap/Desktop in the filebrowser |
01:16:41 | Zagor | "The 2.4.19 kernel is the first to bundle a 2.4 based version of the ehci-hcd driver." |
01:17:02 | Zagor | lohap: learn to love the command line... :-) |
01:17:35 | lohap | lol |
01:17:47 | lohap | i am but but im also a windows user |
01:17:56 | Zagor | stop that ;) |
01:18:41 | Zagor | hmm, it says Mandrake already includes (patched) support for USB 2.0 |
01:18:54 | Zagor | too bad I don't know Mandrake at all, so I don't know how to test that |
01:19:07 | | Quit Jet8810 (Read error: 110 (Connection timed out)) |

01:20:27 | lohap | hgerm it only does it if you use the shortcut on the menu bar |

01:24:14 | Bagder | shortcut to the command? |
01:24:36 | Bagder | make it a script, make a shortcut that runs the script |
01:24:49 | lohap | yea i mean like a desktop icon so all you have to do is clcik on it |

01:26:03 | adi|home | wrong |
01:26:06 | adi|home | ;) |
01:26:14 | adi|home | a batch file is dos-speak for a script |
01:26:16 | * | adi|home smirks |
01:26:16 | lohap | k how you change permission in terminal |
01:26:19 | Bagder | well, I simply here ;-) don't ruin it now |
01:26:21 | adi|home | unix came first! |
01:26:23 | Bagder | simplify |
01:26:36 | juergen | this is juergen, wants to buy a recorder 20 with USB2, would rockbox work? |
01:26:50 | lohap | yea |
01:26:54 | Bagder | lohap: chmod a+rw [file] to give read+write permission to all |
01:27:07 | Bagder | juergen: oh yes |
01:27:12 | lohap | thanks |
01:27:26 | juergen | good to know, thanks! what are the hw differences |
01:27:34 | Bagder | juergen: compared to what? |
01:27:43 | juergen | the old 500204 onw |
01:27:52 | juergen | change onw to one |
01:28:17 | Bagder | 500204? |
01:28:28 | * | Bagder is clueless |
01:28:51 | juergen | this is the archos prod no for the old 20G recorder sold by retail stores |
01:29:15 | juergen | the new one has a prod no of: 500277 |
01:29:18 | Bagder | so you say there's a rec20 that isn't usb2? |
01:29:27 | lohap | brb |
01:29:34 | | Quit lohap ("Client Exiting") |
01:29:34 | juergen | it looks like it |
01:29:50 | Bagder | I've never heard about that before |
01:30:21 | juergen | this is what I did: shopping.yahoo.com shows you companies with 500204 prod ids |
01:31:08 | juergen | archos.com shows you USB2.0 models with different keys (4 way split vs big round) |
01:31:56 | Bagder | the big round is not a recorder, that's a player/studio |
01:32:38 | juergen | that might be the mix up, thanks |
01:32:47 | Bagder | don't confuse the studio 20 with the recorder 20 |
01:33:06 | juergen | got it, may just buy it on ebay then |
01:33:36 | Bagder | its a neat box |
01:33:50 | Bagder | and its fun to program too! ;-) |
01:34:09 | juergen | looks like it, certainly! Good code, I read through it! |
01:34:41 | Bagder | :-) |
01:34:59 | juergen | thanks for your insight |

01:41:44 | Jet8810 | hobby, you can downlod the latest versions if you want, before they are publicly released |
01:41:48 | Jet8810 | buggy sure, but you get the latest |
01:41:55 | adi|home | damnit.. |
01:42:00 | adi|home | Bagder.. do me a favor |
01:42:06 | adi|home | look at the FAQ in the cvs |
01:42:16 | adi|home | and tell me if you see a question #39? |
01:42:31 | h0bby | i have but i wondering more for the sake of seeing all the new stuff after |
01:42:51 | Bagder | adi|home: I see it, yes |
01:43:16 | adi|home | okay.. thats been there a while... |
01:43:24 | adi|home | and since then other changes have been made |
01:43:38 | adi|home | but WTF has that question not shown up on the website.. but the other changes have? |
01:44:13 | Bagder | I bet there's a flaw in the auto update somehow |
01:44:14 | h0bby | also i am leaving for australia soon and would like to have a solid version since i will not have a chance to usb often |
01:44:30 | Bagder | adi|home: and I can guess what it is... :-) |
01:45:45 | adi|home | yeah? whats that? |
01:45:50 | Bagder | a problem in the makefile |

04:32:01 | nunya | is it mebbe somehow not reading the new mod file? nothing seems different |
04:33:10 | mecraw | what does firmware say? it doesn't sound like rockbox loaded |
04:33:35 | nunya | ver 4.53.. dat's it! |
04:37:31 | nunya | if i'm using the daily build, do i still need the 1.2 mod file? i thought i just needed to plop the daily build mod into the root directory, renaming it to archos.mod |
04:38:51 | mecraw | that sounds like all you should have to do |
04:39:07 | mecraw | i have a recorder, so my player knowledge is a little weak |

05:00 |
05:01:32 | nunya | i dunno.. i just put the 1.2 version on there named archos.mod, shut it off, pulled batteries, waited a little, put batteries in, booted up and i still just get what i had before - ver 4.53 - the original archos 'stuff' |
05:07:24 | pimlottc | 1.2 is working fine for me |

07:06:56 | LinusN | morning hes! |
07:07:11 | hardeep | MeRWiN: I haven't noticed it |
07:07:58 | mecraw | Hi, Linus |
07:11:14 | MeRWiN | that's 3 snake games so far |
07:11:15 | MeRWiN | :) |
07:11:50 | LinusN | yeah |
07:14:55 | LinusN | anyone here with a recorder 6? |
07:15:37 | hardeep | LinusN: I do |
07:15:53 | LinusN | and you have no problems with ON? |
07:16:08 | hardeep | Works fine for me |
07:16:17 | LinusN | whar ROM version? |
07:16:42 | hardeep | 1.17i |
07:16:53 | LinusN | same as the guy who has problems... |
07:18:08 | LinusN | does the stock firmware use the ON button for something? |
07:18:52 | hardeep | Hmmm, I can't think if anything it's used for... let me confirm |
07:20:21 | hardeep | Oh, yeah, it's used for lock/unlock |
07:20:26 | hardeep | if you hold on 3s |
07:21:21 | LinusN | ok, so chances are that the guy has never used it |
07:21:22 | hardeep | Also for enabling playing while charging |
07:22:04 | LinusN | hardeep: you mean turn the unit on when in charge mode? |
07:24:22 | hardeep | no, use the jukebox when in charge mode (get out of the charging screen) |
07:25:00 | LinusN | that's what i mean |
07:25:21 | hardeep | oh, then, yeah. :) |
07:27:38 | hardeep | Wow, it's been a while since i've used the stock firmware. |
07:29:12 | h0bby | hello |
07:29:49 | h0bby | i was just wondering if anyone could aswer a few questions |
07:30:05 | hardeep | we only ask questions here, we don't answer |
07:30:13 | h0bby | heheh |
07:30:20 | LinusN | h0bby: and no stupid questions! :-) |
07:30:27 | h0bby | well ill throw some more out there |
07:30:34 | LinusN | shoot! |
07:31:33 | h0bby | i was wondering if it would be possible to bypass the load of rockbox and load the original ware |
07:31:49 | LinusN | h0bby: not at the moment |
07:32:04 | LinusN | we are working on a loader alled RoLo |
07:32:30 | LinusN | with that you can load any MOD/AJZ file in the file browser |
07:32:53 | LinusN | so you can keep several versions on disk |
07:32:56 | h0bby | would it reload back though |
07:33:07 | h0bby | if switching to archos |
07:33:10 | LinusN | no, not the original archos ones |
07:33:16 | LinusN | you will have toi reboot |
07:33:49 | h0bby | i was thinking that for playlist making and recording archos could still be used |
07:34:09 | LinusN | yup, as long as we don't have it that will be the only way |
07:34:12 | h0bby | and for the rest use the best |
07:34:21 | LinusN | just load the old firmware with rolo and then reboot |
07:34:39 | h0bby | but im taking my archos backpacking in a week |
07:34:42 | LinusN | when you have created the playlist |
07:34:51 | LinusN | h0bby: what model? |
07:34:57 | h0bby | recorder |
07:35:00 | h0bby | 10 |
07:35:17 | LinusN | ok, we haven't had it working on the recorder yet |
07:35:28 | h0bby | oh well |
07:35:30 | LinusN | it works on the players |
07:36:26 | h0bby | so is it possible or even simple to have a way when rockbox loads to somehow bypass the load and load the original |
07:36:36 | h0bby | on boot up |
07:37:07 | LinusN | hmmm... |
07:37:13 | LinusN | no |
07:37:13 | h0bby | or is there no going back once the jrec patch has been found |
07:37:25 | LinusN | it is the ROM firmware that loads the rockbox |
07:37:56 | h0bby | but without any it loads the original harware? |
07:38:30 | LinusN | yup |
07:38:45 | LinusN | if there is an ajbrec.ajz file it will be loaded |
07:39:04 | h0bby | so once it is detected there is no going back |
07:39:23 | LinusN | nope |
07:39:35 | h0bby | would have been nice though |

07:40:10 | LinusN | h0bby: next question? |
07:41:17 | | Quit coutta (Client Quit) |
07:41:19 | h0bby | i guess there will be no recording or playlist making for me for the next little while |
07:42:11 | h0bby | untill i can hook it up in a net cafe that will allow me |
07:42:12 | LinusN | h0bby: i'm pleased that you still choose rockbox :-) |
07:42:24 | MeRWiN | when are we plopping 1.3 onto the masses? |
07:42:24 | h0bby | there is no going back |
07:42:37 | LinusN | h0bby: create some playlists beforehand |
07:42:47 | LinusN | MeRWiN: any day now |
07:43:02 | MeRWiN | LinusN: coolio... :-) |
07:43:09 | LinusN | we just have to verify that everything works, especially the new ATA delay |
07:43:39 | LinusN | and it will rock! |
07:43:46 | Hes | I'm worried about my disk working or not |
07:43:54 | Hes | or rockbox not working with it |
07:44:05 | LinusN | Hes: what's the prob? |
07:44:11 | MeRWiN | LinusN: agreed. I'll be happy when 1.3 is out and we can discuss taking my Custom WPS out of #define... The code is a mess of #defines now :-) |
07:44:26 | LinusN | MeRWiN: roger that |
07:44:26 | Hes | The one discussed yesterday... just posted a mail about it to the list |
07:44:48 | LinusN | aha, that one |
07:45:07 | LinusN | I have seen the same problem on my disk, same brand |
07:45:19 | hardeep | Did it turn out the skip problem was something else? |
07:45:20 | LinusN | you want me to test your code to see if the problem is the same? |
07:45:31 | Hes | Sure |
07:45:32 | LinusN | hardeep: no i don't think so? |
07:45:37 | Hes | I'll stick it somewhere |
07:45:39 | MeRWiN | the skip problem doesn't exist anymore |
07:46:08 | LinusN | MeRWiN: maybe zagors last fix did it, the dont-sleep-while-sleeping fix |
07:46:26 | LinusN | MeRWiN: the new ata sleep makes it less likely to happen |

08:26:24 | Hes | This _could_ be a problem with the disk. |
08:26:33 | LinusN | i don't think so |
08:26:48 | LinusN | well, maybe the toshiba is more shock sensitive |
08:27:11 | LinusN | but i don't think your unit is different than mine or zagors |
08:27:13 | Hes | Hey, as I don't have a remote, could I wire the serial output to the serial input of the phone plug to get the DEBUGF()'s? |
08:27:58 | LinusN | sure, but make sure that you don't short circuit it when the phones are attached |
08:28:05 | MeRWiN- | What does "Up to date check failed" mean when dealing with cvs? |
08:28:21 | LinusN | that pin will be grounded when they are inserted |
08:28:27 | mecraw | Bagder: I have a patch to "improve" the shuffle mode behavior that went in a few weeks ago |
08:28:38 | LinusN | Hes: you will still need the serial-in |
08:28:51 | Hes | I don't think it is getting any serious shocks while driving, I keep it in the breast pocket of the jacket |
08:28:55 | mecraw | Bagder: it also allows resume to be turned on while a playlist is playing |
08:28:55 | LinusN | the gdb protocol has ACK's |
08:29:09 | Bagder | mecraw: sounds fine! |
08:29:21 | Hes | surely less bumps than while walking with the unit on the belt pouch |
08:29:42 | Hes | Could i simply make it write the DEBUGF()'s to the serial out in simple ASCII without gdb involved? |
08:29:53 | LinusN | Hes: sure |
08:30:20 | LinusN | Still, you have to solve the short circuit problem |
08:30:28 | Hes | Hmh. |
08:31:02 | Hes | Put a resistor in series and hope that the PC's serial port still reads it? 8-) |
08:31:18 | LinusN | You will still need a converter |

08:32:29 | Hes | oh. |
08:33:41 | * | MeRWiN- thinks that we need to get rid of the improper "End of list" message when switching more than one track (pressing right or left like 3 or 4 times). It's really a trivial matter, because it goes away, but still... |

08:38:26 | MeRWiN | heya bob |
08:38:37 | rwood | LinusN: doesn't appear to be part of the problem i am chasing |
08:39:41 | LinusN | rwood: you saw lots of IRQ0? |
08:40:01 | rwood | LinusN: yes - rep rate of 14+ us |
08:40:24 | LinusN | so we should disable all irq's and their sources |
08:40:44 | rwood | LinusN: at least i am getting back to 100 every 14 uS |
08:41:11 | LinusN | back to 100? |
08:41:46 | rwood | LinusN: interrupt vector location 0x09000100 |
08:41:56 | LinusN | aha |
08:42:18 | rwood | LinusN: that interrupt is the alarm from the RTC - that is how i got off on the i2c bus |
08:42:39 | LinusN | aha, now we're on to something |
08:42:44 | rwood | LinusN: i was trying to save the RTC on entry and restore it on reload |
08:43:26 | rwood | LinusN: the RTC may be part of the problem, but i was confused by the comparison of archos and rockbox i2c timing |
08:43:48 | LinusN | yea, i wonder why they are so slow |
08:44:37 | * | Hes gets some coffee and digs into IPv6 DNS reverse zone generation again. |
08:45:04 | Bagder | Hes: for rockbox? :-P |
08:45:11 | * | Bagder hides |
08:45:28 | * | LinusN thinks Bagder needs some coffee too |
08:45:38 | Bagder | I do |
08:45:40 | Bagder | lots of it |
08:45:41 | rwood | LinusN: is SCL a TTL output, if so, doing open-collector via software seems potentially dangerous |
08:46:07 | rwood | LinusN: we live with it, archos designed it |
08:46:11 | LinusN | rwood: what are you talking about? |
08:46:47 | MeRWiN | LinusN: it just happened again... in the middle of a song it went to the next song by itself |
08:47:33 | MeRWiN | it's usually nearer to the end of the song |
08:47:36 | rwood | LinusN: is there a possibility of a device holding SCL or SDA low while the firmeware is trying to drive the pin hi? |
08:47:46 | LinusN | rwood: disable the ALE bit in rtc_init() |
08:48:02 | LinusN | rwood: sure, why not? |
08:49:07 | rwood | LinusN: isn't the pin driving into a ground in that case? |
08:49:34 | LinusN | rwood: it will, yes, but only when we have a bug in our driver |
08:49:47 | LinusN | we are the only i2c master |
08:50:52 | Hes | Bagder: rockbox doesn't support perl scripting yet 8-) |
08:51:10 | LinusN | i know the recorder I2C bus is different |
08:51:16 | LinusN | from the player |
08:51:23 | rwood | LinusN: or if one of the i2c part failed - cooking an output on the processor wouldn't matter then anyway |
08:51:24 | Bagder | darn |
08:51:35 | LinusN | the player uses a diode and a pullup to simulate open collector |
08:51:53 | LinusN | the recorder probably doesn't |
08:52:14 | LinusN | but it still has a pullup, so we can set the pin to input for a weak drive |
08:52:42 | LinusN | i hope we do that on the wais states... |
08:52:45 | LinusN | wait |
08:52:57 | mecraw | Bagder: The patch is on its way, it was my first time dealing with RTC, it works for me :) |
08:53:12 | LinusN | when i come to think of it, we don't need a weak drive |
08:53:35 | MeRWiN | mee-krob |
08:53:50 | LinusN | mecraw: what are you talking about? |
08:54:12 | LinusN | perl scripting? :-) |
08:54:37 | mecraw | LinusN: a patch to enable toggling resume while playing and to start shuffling from where you left off |
08:54:53 | Hes | LinusN: For badger's ipv6 on rockbox... |
08:55:20 | Bagder | I think LinusN is getting a subject overload right now ;-) |
08:56:57 | mecraw | you guys need coffee and i need to go to bed |
08:57:07 | LinusN | mecraw: roger that |
08:57:13 | * | LinusN gets some coffee |
08:57:19 | * | Bagder obeys and leaves for coffee |
08:57:21 | * | mecraw goes to bed |

08:57:40 | | Nick mecraw is now known as mecraw|snoring (~mecraw@67.41.113.92) |
08:58:11 | MeRWiN- | OK, something definately isn't right... this whole changing tracks by itself in the middle of a song is really happening a fair amount |
08:58:53 | Hes | Could we isolate what changed in the code and caused this? |
08:59:02 | rwood | LinusN: 2nd topic, I am using a power supply in place of the batteries. |
08:59:28 | MeRWiN- | It's actually happening almost every song? |
08:59:30 | MeRWiN- | whoah |
08:59:42 | rwood | LinusN: with rockbox idle - backlight off the meter reads 0.10 amps |
09:00 |
09:00:18 | rwood | LinusN: with 1.27d idle - backlight off the meter reads 0.09 amps |
09:00:19 | LinusN | ok |
09:00:39 | Hes | It's actually happening on almost every song, yes ! |
09:00:56 | Hes | I told you it was bad 8-) |
09:01:14 | MeRWiN- | Hes: what problem are you talking about... same as me? |
09:01:50 | rwood | LinusN: has zagor taken any reading to compare the idle current draw in the idle state |
09:02:03 | LinusN | i think so |
09:02:09 | Hes | Same as you. |
09:02:16 | MeRWiN- | Hes: so i'm not going insane? |
09:02:25 | Hes | No you're not. Mine is skipping a lot. |
09:02:44 | MeRWiN- | usually towards the end of the song? |
09:02:54 | Hes | Or middle. |
09:03:03 | rwood | LinusN: I don't know what the next digit down is, but it seemed unusual to have much difference when idle |
09:03:15 | LinusN | MeRWiN: i think it is when data is loaded, and that differs depending on the bitrate |
09:03:31 | LinusN | rwood: i think they sleep, while we don't |
09:03:47 | MeRWiN- | the fact that it's not 100% reproducable isn't very re-assuring :) |
09:04:02 | rwood | LinusN: ok - i saw the sleep thread last week |
09:04:59 | Bagder | I don't think they sleep |
09:05:15 | Bagder | they draw too much current when idle |
09:07:06 | rwood | it would be interesting to compare the two idle and playing since zagor has his new meter (at least i think it was zagor who got the meter) |
09:07:35 | Bagder | he measured the stock firmware to around 80mA on idle, IIRC |
09:07:54 | Bagder | while we should now be slightly lower |
09:09:24 | rwood | i'm still running pre 1.2 rockbox - my readings may not reflect the current truth |
09:09:53 | Bagder | gosh ;-) |
09:09:53 | MeRWiN- | rwood: why are you running pre 1.2? |
09:10:53 | rwood | MeRWiN: i'm to lazy to put my rolo changes into a new set of code - shouldn't matter for what i'm doing |
09:11:26 | MeRWiN- | hehe |
09:12:45 | hardeep | Hmmm... I'm not seeing this changing track problem with latest cvs |
09:14:20 | Hes | Could it be the fortune code being installed? 8-) |
09:14:41 | Bagder | woo new mozilla |
09:14:44 | MeRWiN- | hardeep: player or recorder do you have? |
09:14:58 | hardeep | MeRWiN: recorder 6 |
09:15:05 | MeRWiN- | hardeep: may it be player only? |
09:15:11 | hardeep | Hes; let me remove the fortune code and see. :) |
09:15:41 | hardeep | Hmmm... Hes, do you have player also? |
09:15:45 | Hes | Recorder 20. |
09:15:51 | MeRWiN- | I honestly haven't listened to a full song on my rockbox in about 2 weeks |
09:15:52 | Hes | With a 40G disk installed. |
09:15:58 | MeRWiN- | ok, so it's both player/recorder |
09:16:05 | MeRWiN- | so i don't know when this started for me |

09:24:31 | merwin | he needs to be added to the irc list |
09:24:40 | Bagder | me fix |
09:24:43 | merwin | k |
09:26:03 | hardeep | okay, i think i'm finally done with ffw/rew for 1.3. |
09:26:16 | hardeep | unless any of you know of other bugs |
09:26:32 | merwin | i didn't know ff/rw had anymore buggs? |
09:26:42 | merwin | OK, if Enya skips on me i'll be pissed off |
09:26:47 | merwin | I love this song :) |
09:27:00 | hardeep | enya sang beautifully for me |
09:27:06 | merwin | hardeep: ? |
09:27:20 | hardeep | heh, one of her songs was just playing. :) |
09:27:25 | merwin | hah |
09:27:52 | merwin | I never seem to remember how much I like Enya until I hear her... then immediately afterwards i forget |
09:28:02 | merwin | SHIT, it skipped |

09:30:30 | * | Bagder runs emacs diff-mode and smiles |
09:31:08 | hardeep | merwin: hmmmm, why not make the second line customizable as well? |
09:31:24 | Bagder | right |
09:31:33 | merwin | hardeep: the second line contains the time, which is updated numerous times per second. It will take a lot of work to harness that power :) |
09:31:33 | Bagder | and for recorders, there could be 8 customizable lines... |
09:31:43 | merwin | basically rewriting how the time is displayed in the wps |
09:32:04 | merwin | Bagder: you can already do the 8 customizable lines in the recorder really... there is an x and y option in the function |
09:32:16 | Bagder | neato |
09:32:26 | merwin | I just don't want to mess with the recorder since I've never actually used one |
09:33:36 | merwin | well, it looks like we have a successful Preview "feature" now! |
09:33:48 | merwin | it previews half of the song and skips on. It's a feature, not a bug |
09:33:55 | hardeep | laugh |
09:35:03 | hardeep | merwin: what's your disk spindown set to? |
09:35:16 | merwin | 5 seconds |
09:36:43 | merwin | give or take a few milliseconds |
09:38:25 | * | merwin thinks that when you have shuffle on and you select a file, that file should become #1 in the playlist |
09:38:55 | Bagder | merwin: that is not really not possible |
09:39:08 | | Quit MeRWiN- (Read error: 113 (No route to host)) |
09:39:14 | Bagder | you must understand our shuffle system to see why |
09:39:23 | hardeep | he obviously didn't like that answer.... =) |
09:39:42 | merwin | Bagder: can't you just swap the two? |
09:39:57 | merwin | it shuffles, and swaps the first one with wherever the fiel that you selected is |
09:40:08 | Bagder | in the list in memory just now, sure, but we need the resume to be able to repeat the exact behavior later |
09:40:31 | Bagder | and then it gets messy if we start replacing entries after shuffle |
09:41:05 | merwin | It's just a huge pet peeve of mine :-) |
09:41:20 | Bagder | why does it matter where in the list the selected song ends up? |
09:41:31 | Bagder | when you switch off repeat-all in the future you mean? |
09:41:44 | merwin | what if you don't have playlist repeat? |
09:41:56 | merwin | yeah |
09:42:10 | merwin | it could end up as the last song :) |
09:42:28 | Bagder | it'll be easier to store a "end entry" separately and use that as end-of-list |
09:42:39 | Bagder | when playing dirs |
09:43:02 | Bagder | it'll make the same effect |
09:44:40 | merwin | that's true. Really, what is seemingly strange to me is that normally when you select random, the track numbers are shown on the display as randomized (ie: track 6 then track 1) so you know that they're random. Our system of randomize is fine, I just need to get used to it i guess |
09:45:48 | Bagder | I don't get it, what is the strange part? |
09:46:04 | Bagder | that we don't see track numbers? |
09:46:29 | Bagder | ah, you see index numbers and they just increase!? |
09:46:57 | Bagder | (they're now shown on recorders) |
09:47:29 | LinusN | Bagder: not on mine |
09:47:42 | merwin | well, normally you have, say, 10 tracks on a cd... on the cd player it would display track 8 as being track 8... with ours, the 5th song in a normal play could be the 200th in shuffle. |
09:47:45 | Bagder | what is not on yours? |
09:47:48 | | Join Blaster_Master [0] (~noone@firewall.scribona.com) |
09:47:59 | LinusN | i don't see track numbers in my wps |
09:48:46 | Bagder | oh, well I guess merwin has more fancy oppptorunities with the custom wps |
09:49:18 | Bagder | merwin: I get it now, yes we have no way to tell the original track number after having shuffled |
09:49:40 | merwin | yup... it's just mentally throwing me off a bit. |
09:49:46 | LinusN | what is most interesting, the index or the track numnber? |
09:50:04 | Bagder | I think he means the index in the unshuffled list |
09:50:09 | LinusN | i know |
09:50:16 | merwin | Bagder: bingo |
09:50:18 | LinusN | let me rephrase |
09:50:34 | LinusN | what is most interesting, the shiffled or the unshuffled track numnber? |
09:50:38 | merwin | God dag! |
09:50:52 | merwin | I'd rather have the unshuffled track number |
09:50:59 | merwin | it makes it seem more random |
09:51:17 | LinusN | many people (including me) like to see how far the list has played |
09:51:26 | merwin | my computer is spitting out swedish now |
09:51:42 | merwin | LinusN: but in random mode it doesn't really matter, since it can start halfway through the playlist |
09:52:00 | LinusN | merwin: no, it always plays the entire list |
09:52:15 | LinusN | it doesn't start somewhere in the middle |
09:52:19 | LinusN | or does it? |
09:52:24 | Bagder | yes it does |
09:52:34 | LinusN | that is not good imho |
09:52:40 | merwin | LinusN: have shuffle on, go into the dir browser, and select a file. it could come up as number 100 in the playlist starting |
09:52:42 | hardeep | Wait, i thought it started at index 0 |
09:52:52 | hardeep | of the shuffled list |
09:52:55 | Bagder | hardeep: if you play a playlist, yes |
09:52:55 | merwin | LinusN: my point exactly :) |
09:53:07 | LinusN | now i remember |
09:53:14 | Bagder | if you play a dir, it has to do like this |
09:53:30 | LinusN | Bagder: no, it doesn't have to |
09:53:37 | LinusN | it is just easier like that |
09:53:46 | Bagder | and how would a "fix" look like? |
09:53:56 | Bagder | rotate the entire list N steps? |
09:53:59 | merwin | Sju skצna sjצsjuka sjukskצterskor pו skeppet Shanghai. |
09:54:07 | Bagder | and store N when resuming ? |
09:54:15 | LinusN | merwin: sex laxar i en laxask |
09:54:20 | LinusN | Bagder: possibly |
09:54:26 | merwin | I liked the english translation of that one |
09:54:39 | merwin | Six waxed salmons in a waxed salmon box |
09:54:46 | Bagder | I actually ruled out that kind of drastic ways :-) |
09:54:47 | merwin | :-) |
09:55:02 | LinusN | Bagder: but you do see the problem? |
09:55:11 | Bagder | no, I don't see it as a problem ;-) |
09:55:23 | merwin | LinusN: Do you guys teach these tongue twisters to kids? - Sju sjuka sjukskצterskor tvהttade sina skitiga stjהrtar i rosa champagne |
09:55:24 | LinusN | if repeat is off it will be silly |
09:55:29 | Bagder | why? |
09:55:37 | Bagder | yes, if we stop at the end of the list |
09:55:40 | Bagder | but we can move the stop-entry |
09:55:44 | LinusN | it may start at the last song |
09:55:50 | Bagder | which is far esier |
09:55:51 | Bagder | easier |
09:56:05 | Bagder | so that it starts at N and stops at N-1 |
09:56:16 | LinusN | Bagder: that is a good idea |
09:56:18 | merwin | Bagder: then it would stop at the starting song, which could be song 100... wrapping around the playlist gets confusing to the end user |
09:56:39 | Bagder | I know it makes things slightly more confusing |
09:56:46 | LinusN | merwin: playlists always start at the first song |
09:56:49 | Bagder | but it makes the internals so much better |
09:56:56 | Bagder | this is only for all-dir plays |
09:57:39 | merwin | LinusN: yes, but if you're starting with track 100 and ending with track 99, that may be confusing for the end user... it should start with track 1 and end with track 100 |
09:57:58 | hardeep | the index could be updated based on the stop entry |
09:58:08 | hardeep | so it would start at 1 and end at 100 |
09:58:19 | LinusN | merwin: the playlist index should be internal to the playlist code |
09:58:26 | Bagder | yes, we could just display a modified index |
09:58:49 | merwin | hardeep: interesting idea |
09:59:18 | LinusN | Still, it may be interesting to display the unshuffled track index |
09:59:23 | LinusN | somehow |
09:59:43 | merwin | hmm... hasn't skipped tracks in a while... it seems to go through bad moods or something |
09:59:50 | Bagder | LinusN: that would require some funny hacks to get that working |
09:59:52 | LinusN | that will probably double the mem usage |
09:59:57 | Bagder | yes |
10:00 |
10:00:10 | Bagder | at least 50% up |
10:00:15 | Bagder | since we can do with 16bit |
10:01:00 | | Quit bobTHC (Read error: 104 (Connection reset by peer)) |
10:01:06 | LinusN | maybe an option that uses the playlist buffer for that, lowering the playlist size limit? |
10:01:27 | Bagder | that could be an idea, yes |
10:01:42 | LinusN | a fair tradeoff, imho |
10:01:43 | Bagder | very low prio in my mind though |
10:01:50 | merwin | Although I really like the 400 limit |
10:02:09 | merwin | Bagder: it's one of those novelty things |
10:02:18 | LinusN | merwin: that is a different limit |
10:02:28 | Bagder | LinusN: hey, for dir-plays we can use the playlist buffer |
10:02:32 | merwin | oh. heh |
10:02:41 | Bagder | I mean already now |
10:02:44 | rwood | has there been any thought of nested playlists in some future release? |
10:02:46 | LinusN | i'm talking about the 10000 playlist-entries limit |
10:03:07 | LinusN | rwood: of course |
10:03:16 | Bagder | rwood: there's very little point in nested ones, you can just merge them all into one |
10:03:38 | LinusN | Bagder: on dir-play? |
10:03:52 | Bagder | nested on dir-play? |
10:03:58 | LinusN | maybe i misinterpreted the question? |
10:04:10 | LinusN | Bagder: recursive |
10:04:32 | Bagder | ah, recursive all-dir would build a temporary playlist and play that |
10:04:42 | merwin | I could be up for cutting the 10000 limit in half and store double entries for the display of the true track |
10:05:10 | LinusN | merwin: i think that would be the way to go |
10:06:07 | Bagder | the track number would fit within 16 bits so you can have the limit at 6666 to get the same memory size |
10:06:07 | merwin | I don't know many people who hit the 10000 limit very often |
10:06:42 | * | Bagder updated the roadmap on the rockbox front page |
10:07:03 | merwin | gotta see this roadmap |
10:08:15 | merwin | woo, i'm on 1.4 :-) |
10:08:38 | Blaster_Master | Just an sugestion : Is it possible to cache the directory structure or reserve some memory for it, including filenames. would it not speed up directory browsing quite a bit. |
10:08:51 | LinusN | Bagder: so file system writes is 1.4? |
10:09:06 | LinusN | Blaster_Master: everything is possible |
10:09:10 | Bagder | LinusN: that's what we've talked about previously, yes |
10:09:19 | Bagder | time will show if we're up to it ;-) |
10:09:20 | merwin | Blaster_Master: caching would use up more memory |
10:09:23 | LinusN | it just takes memory, and some code to do it |
10:10:01 | Hes | 1.3 has mucho better charging than 1.2, maybe could add that |
10:10:04 | merwin | Blaster_Master: but with not spinning down the disk during browsing anymore, it goes alot quicker |
10:10:50 | Bagder | Hes: true |
10:11:44 | merwin | we need to fix the charged voltage for the player... it's definately off. Takes a long while to get below 100% |
10:12:11 | LinusN | merwin: different units have different voltages |
10:12:28 | LinusN | we should probably adjust the scale though |
10:12:51 | merwin | isn't there a variable dependant on player/recorder? |
10:13:16 | Hes | It doesn't depend much between player/recorder |
10:13:27 | Hes | different batteries matter much more |
10:13:40 | Hes | It's way off on my recorder too, but I don't care a lot |
10:13:57 | LinusN | it just makes me happy to have 100% all that time :-) |
10:14:04 | Bagder | hehehe |
10:14:06 | merwin | i'm just using the standard 1500's |
10:14:14 | Hes | But yes, it could be adjusted a little, and made smarter (something along the lines suggested by Uwe) |
10:14:37 | LinusN | merwin: it also depends on the age and wear of the batteries |
10:14:57 | LinusN | the condition |
10:15:06 | merwin | we should probably tailor the max towards decently fresh batteries |
10:15:21 | LinusN | rwood: have you tried to disable AFE? |
10:15:35 | LinusN | merwin: yeah, probably |
10:15:50 | merwin | Hes: what was Uwe's opinion on it? |
10:16:12 | LinusN | he had a suggestion about a conversion table |
10:16:46 | LinusN | to account for the non-linear voltage curve |
10:16:54 | merwin | hmm |
10:17:09 | merwin | yeah, since it drops quicker as it gets lower |
10:18:13 | LinusN | yeah, the user expects the battery meter to show "time left" rather than "voltage left" |
10:19:04 | Bagder | right |
10:19:23 | Bagder | they would even probably prefer "minutes left" ;-) |
10:19:37 | *** | Saving seen data "./dancer.seen" |
10:19:49 | merwin | that would be a fun feature |
10:20:30 | Bagder | I agree |
10:20:35 | Hes | At some point I wondered about measuring the average playtime and voltage points in RTC or disk |
10:20:47 | Hes | Replacing batteries would mix it up, though |
10:21:02 | Bagder | yeah |
10:21:09 | LinusN | Hes: but it could try to adapt |
10:21:14 | Hes | Yes |
10:21:26 | merwin | a saved file on disk that performs the measurements and adapts to the specific batteries could work |
10:21:32 | merwin | Hes: delete the file |
10:21:48 | LinusN | i think it's perfectly acceptable that the time-left prediction fails after replacing the batteries |
10:21:55 | merwin | It's the same concept as an ECU in a car.... it adapts to the current condition of the car. If you change those conditions drastically, you just reset it |
10:23:39 | rwood | LinusN: yes, i've tried clearing 0xa and restoring the origional value - no change in the hang |

10:33:03 | Blaster_Master | crap ! the that is not an option :( |

10:34:16 | Bagder | anyone tried the second snake game? |
10:35:12 | LinusN | i havent yet |
10:35:14 | merwin- | I haven't found a snake game that is as good as Nokia's snake... it's got little subtle differences... like waiting an extra split second when you run into yourself to give yourself a chance to get away |
10:35:29 | LinusN | and i feel bad about it because i promised him to test it |
10:35:51 | LinusN | the current game is pretty unfair in that respect |
10:36:02 | LinusN | it may put a block right before the nose |
10:36:06 | merwin- | We could be the first software ever to offer 3 versions of snake :) |
10:36:40 | LinusN | or we could combine them to make the BEST version ever |
10:36:49 | rwood | LinusN: doesn't work - i think it kills DRAM refresh |
10:36:54 | merwin- | that is definately true |
10:38:57 | LinusN | rwood: ah, yes. OK, try changing only the IRQ0 pin |
10:40:06 | rwood | LinusN: i'll try it, but according to the code, rockbox doesn't change the state of that pin |

11:52:31 | matsl | ... I'd thought I could start that activity. |
11:52:44 | Bagder | aha |
11:53:03 | Bagder | but still, there has to exist some ideas on what the database would be used for |
11:53:13 | Bagder | seems silly to make a database without a purpose |
11:53:20 | LinusN | what database? |
11:53:27 | matsl | Good point. |
11:53:55 | matsl | A data base with id3-info that could be used instead of browsing the dir I guess. |

13:28:57 | coutta | Gents, is there something in the .m3u format which allows you to designate that the playlist is to be shuffled ? |
13:29:06 | Bagder | no |
13:29:18 | Bagder | the .m3u is a very simple and stupid format |
13:29:22 | Bagder | plain file names |
13:29:42 | coutta | Are there "comments" in .m3u ? |
13:30:04 | Bagder | winamp added comments, lines starting with # |
13:30:46 | Phil | didn't it store the duration of the songs in those comments? |
13:30:51 | | Quit Moof (Remote closed the connection) |
13:30:53 | coutta | Could we extend the format for Rockbox to include a shuffle indicator, using something like #rockbox ? |
13:30:56 | Bagder | Phil: yes it does |
13:31:22 | Bagder | coutta: it would be possible yes, but I fail to see the big advantage |
13:32:39 | coutta | I'm lazy. My common usage seems to be going from large shuffled playlists to listening to a complete un-shuffled album |
13:33:32 | Bagder | hopefully we'll soon have an easy-access key to toggle shuffle on/off |
13:35:09 | coutta | My little programmer mind was mulling over the use of the # indicator in the .m3u, or using an indicator in the name of the .m3u file |
13:36:00 | coutta | easy-access key would be good because it's the most common function I use in both Rockbox and the std Archos firmware |

13:56:17 | Zagor | we discussed that during lunch, me and Linus |
13:56:32 | Zagor | we need to find a way to know when the disk has spun down |
13:56:47 | matsl | I think it is weird that id3->index is used together with playlist.amount in the 1 line id3 view. But it has beein in CVS now for weeks. What am I missing? |
13:56:50 | Zagor | apparently, soft_reset() does not "bite" while it is doing the spindown |
13:57:42 | Hes | Ok, I see. What about the read errors which cause the intro play feature? |
13:58:29 | Zagor | that will most likely be solved with a simple retry |
13:58:46 | Hes | Do you have any idea why I have so much of them now? |
13:58:58 | Zagor | are you using latest cvs? |
13:59:11 | Hes | and merwin too. |
13:59:21 | Hes | I built from CVS this morning. |
13:59:25 | LinusN | Zagor: it is wait_for_start_of_transfer() that fails |

14:00 |

14:01:30 | Hes | And I believe I have the same disk as LinusN |
14:01:32 | Zagor | Hes: wow, that much? and it became worse since the new sleep code, or since when? |

14:05:26 | matsl | Anybody: Comment on the id3->index playlist.amount problem? |
14:05:46 | LinusN | Hes: put some debug LCD output in mpeg.c |
14:06:04 | LinusN | matsl: what prolbem? |
14:06:12 | matsl | I think it is weird that id3->index is used together with playlist.amount in the 1 line id3 view. But it has beein in CVS now for weeks. What am I missing? |
14:06:35 | Zagor | matsl: isn't it simply trying to make an "index/total" display? |
14:06:41 | Bagder | it's the song number, isn't it? |
14:06:46 | Hes | LinusN: will do... and ata |
14:06:54 | LinusN | Bagder: the shuffled song number |
14:06:58 | Bagder | of course |
14:06:58 | matsl | yes, but shouldn't it be playlist.index/playlist.amount |
14:07:06 | Bagder | no |
14:07:13 | Bagder | the playlist doesn't know what plays |
14:07:18 | Bagder | the id3->index does |
14:07:27 | Zagor | playlist.index can be several tracks ahead of the currently playing |
14:07:28 | Bagder | iirc |
14:07:34 | LinusN | matsl: there may be many tracks in memory |
14:07:51 | matsl | ok. All my id3-indexes seem to be 0 |
14:08:04 | Bagder | that is not good |
14:08:46 | matsl | So its a problem with my mp3s then. |
14:08:55 | LinusN | i don't think so |
14:09:17 | Zagor | id3->index is created by playlist.c and assigned by mpeg.c |
14:09:32 | | Join coutta [0] (coutta@adlax7-192.dialup.optusnet.com.au) |
14:09:39 | matsl | OK. Then we have a bug. |
14:10:00 | Zagor | will you guys stop finding bugs? I want to release... ;-) |
14:10:53 | matsl | I'm sorry. I thought id3->was an id3-tag saying what song on the album it was. |
14:11:07 | Bagder | id3 is more 'mp3 info' |
14:11:12 | matsl | id3->was id3->index was |
14:11:33 | Phil | Is there a rough date when the next release is released? |
14:11:35 | Bagder | we should rename the variable |
14:11:45 | Bagder | Phil: as soon as possible ;-) |
14:12:33 | LinusN | matsl: id3->index/playlist.amount shows 1/20 on my 20-file directory play |
14:12:44 | matsl | I'll revert to the current version of wps.c and see if I can find the bug. |
14:13:09 | Phil | Badger could we wait until tomorrow? |
14:13:17 | matsl | LinusN: And when you select song number two? |
14:13:25 | LinusN | 2/20 |
14:13:26 | Bagder | Phil: we won't release today, and hardly tomorrow |
14:13:32 | Bagder | Phil: we still chase down bugs |
14:13:48 | matsl | LinusN: Didn't do that for we yesterday |
14:13:50 | Phil | Badger: uff. So do I. |
14:14:04 | matsl | LinusN: I'll revert and try again. |
14:14:31 | Bagder | Zagor: I modified the roadmap on the front page this morning |
14:14:41 | Zagor | Bagder: ah |
14:14:52 | Bagder | I guess you haven't noticed ;-) |
14:14:59 | LinusN | Bagder: change the faq too |
14:15:02 | Zagor | nope :-) looks good, though |
14:15:14 | Bagder | LinusN: okidoki |
14:17:14 | * | Bagder made docs-commits get mailed too |
14:18:44 | PsycoXul | damn |
14:18:49 | Phil | Bagder: Concerning roadmap V1.5. Next weekend I'll do some investigation and after that I'll decide wether I feel addicted to do an editor for splitting mp3. That'll be hard and deep work but it's a feature I really need and thus someone has to do it. If nobody else does I'll try to. |
14:18:50 | PsycoXul | i just made my screen go compleetely blank |
14:18:54 | PsycoXul | and it won't come back |
14:19:23 | Bagder | Phil: hehe, I don't think you'll face much competition in the race to reach to that feature first ;-) |
14:19:38 | PsycoXul | i was in the root dir and had the mp3/m3u filter off and scrolled down towards the end of the list, then i went and turned the filter on, and then it all went screwy heh |
14:19:41 | *** | Saving seen data "./dancer.seen" |
14:19:55 | Zagor | PsycoXul: ah. buuuuugg |
14:20:42 | Phil | Badger: Sometimes I crave for competitors winning the race. |
14:20:52 | Bagder | :-) |
14:21:40 | Phil | Badger: What I intended to say is: You might want to include mp3 splitting to the feature list of 1.5 |
14:21:58 | LinusN | Zagor: we must not try to do software reset when the drive is BSY |
14:22:36 | Zagor | Phil: no. if you write it, it will be included when it's ready. the roadmap is what we are planning, not including code submitted from others |
14:22:37 | LinusN | ata_soft_reset must wait until !BSY before resetting |
14:23:04 | Zagor | LinusN: is it BSY while spinning down, you mean? |
14:23:16 | Phil | Zagor: The better for me: Doesn't put me into trouble. |
14:23:23 | Zagor | Phil: :-) |
14:23:40 | LinusN | Zagor: possibly so |
14:24:00 | LinusN | I just read about the soft reset |
14:26:10 | LinusN | BSY is cleared when the drive has gone to sleep, according to the spec |
14:26:17 | Zagor | ok, nice |
14:26:20 | Zagor | i'll add it |
14:27:10 | LinusN | This command causes the device to set the BSY bit to one, prepare to enter Sleep mode, clear the BSY bit to |
14:27:10 | LinusN | zero and assert INTRQ. |
14:27:35 | LinusN | The host shall read the Status register in order to clear the interrupt pending and |
14:27:35 | LinusN | allow the device to enter Sleep mode. |
14:28:16 | LinusN | Because some host systems may not read the Status register and clear the interrupt pending, a device may |
14:28:16 | LinusN | automatically release INTRQ and enter Sleep mode after a vendor specific time period of not less than 2 s. |
14:28:48 | LinusN | so we should read the status register to avoid an extra 2s sleep delay |
14:29:04 | Zagor | yup |
14:29:10 | LinusN | You fix? |
14:29:14 | Zagor | yep |
14:29:19 | LinusN | greatness |
14:30:27 | LinusN | that should fix the "fortune cookie bug" |
14:30:31 | | Join Fridolin [0] (~Fridolin@sun26.isip.mu-luebeck.de) |
14:30:49 | LinusN | hallo, Fridolin |
14:30:54 | Fridolin | Hi ! |
14:31:13 | LinusN | if you have bugs to report, please don't :-) |
14:31:41 | Fridolin | ;-) I haven't had the time to play a lot with my rockbox recently... |
14:32:00 | LinusN | that must be horrible for you |
14:32:19 | matsl | Zagor: Now you'll be happy. I have unfound a bug. |
14:32:41 | LinusN | you misplaced it? |
14:32:47 | Fridolin | ?! |
14:32:50 | matsl | my head yes! |
14:33:20 | LinusN | :-) |
14:33:29 | matsl | id3->index isn't updated in the simulator. I was fooled by that! |
14:33:34 | LinusN | haha! |
14:33:50 | matsl | It works ok in the real hardware. |
14:33:53 | Zagor | ah, nice |
14:34:08 | LinusN | simulators, who needs them? :-) |
14:34:16 | matsl | So maybe it is abug in the simulator then ;-) |
14:34:25 | Bagder | matsl: go fix it! ;-) |
14:34:37 | Bagder | the mpeg thread is not simulated (very well) |
14:34:47 | matsl | I know. |
14:35:07 | matsl | I might look into it. Have some other stuff to do now. cu |
14:35:16 | Bagder | bye matsl |
14:35:21 | | Quit matsl ("Client Exiting") |
14:36:25 | LinusN | Hes: you should only wrap between words in the cookies |
14:39:59 | Hes | LinusN: Yeah, should make showtext.c show from a buffer |
14:40:14 | Hes | didn't get around to doing that yet. |
14:42:18 | Hes | should be a library-like function for displaying a long piece of text properly wrapped. |
14:42:26 | Hes | Either until a key is pressed or with a timeout. |
14:42:44 | Hes | (timeout could be overriden with a keypress) |
14:43:08 | Bagder | you should make it just a function that prints with word wrap |
14:43:11 | Zagor | LinusN: we already do this... |
14:43:16 | Bagder | the waiting for keys could be made separately |
14:44:32 | LinusN | Zagor: i saw a wrap in the middle of a 3 letter word |
14:44:50 | Zagor | i'm talking about waiting for BSY after SLEEP |
14:45:28 | LinusN | oh |
14:46:17 | LinusN | but do we read STATUS? |
14:46:27 | LinusN | and not ALT_STATUS |
14:47:08 | Zagor | no, but the point is we aren't leaving until BSY is off |
14:47:23 | LinusN | true |
14:47:58 | Zagor | but, yeah, I'll test with a "real" STATUS read |
14:48:39 | LinusN | still, ata_soft_reset() should wait for !BSY before resetting |
14:48:52 | Zagor | yep |

15:09:37 | manitee | hi folks |
15:09:44 | Bagder | hi |
15:10:04 | LinusN | manitee: hi |
15:10:32 | manitee | can I ask a question about bug 588867, the mp3 skipping due to read error one? |
15:10:45 | LinusN | shoot |
15:10:51 | manitee | whats the deal with it heh |
15:11:06 | LinusN | manitee: do you get it when the unit is still? |
15:11:09 | manitee | just wondering if you decided that it was actually do to file inconsistancies? |
15:11:16 | manitee | yes Lin I do |
15:11:22 | LinusN | strange |
15:11:36 | manitee | (thanks for the great software BTW - its very nice) |
15:11:40 | Bagder | I think the sleep stuff has introduced this |
15:11:53 | Bagder | but I can't explain how |
15:12:04 | manitee | is the sleep stuff in the daily builds now? |
15:12:12 | Bagder | ATA_SLEEP yes |
15:12:18 | manitee | oh HD spindown |
15:13:05 | LinusN | not sure though |
15:13:13 | LinusN | it works great for me |
15:13:24 | LinusN | no skips |
15:13:26 | manitee | huh maybe im unlucky - or have bad quality mp3's |
15:13:35 | LinusN | no, you're not alone |
15:13:37 | manitee | it's not every song, in fact it seems to be the same songs |
15:13:44 | LinusN | same songs? |
15:13:50 | manitee | yeah i just thought of that |
15:13:59 | manitee | same song, same place even |
15:14:10 | manitee | duh can't believe i didnt think of that before |
15:14:12 | LinusN | ...? |
15:14:27 | manitee | but the mp3 is fine in the archos firmware or other players |
15:14:39 | manitee | no skips or distortions through that portion |
15:14:44 | LinusN | does it skip to the next song? |
15:14:47 | manitee | yes |
15:14:58 | LinusN | this is interesting |
15:15:07 | manitee | i can send you the mp3 if you like |
15:15:14 | LinusN | what rockbox version? |
15:15:15 | manitee | not sure if that would help |
15:15:38 | manitee | hardware? studio 20 - Rom? 5.08 |
15:15:47 | LinusN | no, rockbox |
15:16:01 | manitee | oh sorry heh - 8/26 daily build |
15:16:31 | LinusN | ok, send me the file, linus at haxx.se |
15:16:47 | manitee | pulling from archos now |
15:16:47 | LinusN | or can you publich it on HTTP? |
15:16:56 | manitee | yes i can one moment |
15:17:03 | LinusN | great |
15:17:11 | * | LinusN has a theory |
15:17:35 | manitee | whats that |
15:17:51 | LinusN | that it has to do with the track change detection |
15:18:40 | manitee | uploading file to web server - just a moment |
15:18:55 | adi|home | howdy all... |
15:18:58 | adi|home | i miss much? |

15:20:50 | LinusN | alphawave: hi |
15:21:19 | adi|home | ummm Bagder .. the last FAQ commit you made |
15:21:27 | adi|home | there were no changes... so like.. umm.. what? |
15:21:42 | | Quit Fridolin ("ChatZilla 0.8.9 [Mozilla rv:1.1/20020826]") |
15:21:46 | Bagder | adi|home: there was, but the mail's diff hides whitespace-only changes |
15:21:56 | adi|home | no.. look at the cvs diff |
15:22:04 | adi|home | and i did a cvs diff from what i last had last night |
15:22:06 | adi|home | and no change |
15:22:17 | Bagder | hehe |
15:22:30 | adi|home | else.. what was the change? |
15:22:39 | LinusN | why did CVS accept that commit? |
15:22:58 | Bagder | because there were changes |
15:23:06 | LinusN | or why doesn't it show the diff correctly? |
15:23:06 | Bagder | I removed three spaces |
15:23:12 | adi|home | from where? |
15:23:15 | adi|home | what line? |
15:23:18 | LinusN | the file :-) |
15:23:21 | Bagder | from the roadmap "table" |
15:23:35 | Bagder | line 159 and line 162 |
15:23:41 | elinenbe | not really a bug, but an annoyance... when you fast forward or rewind on the recorder, the status bar (bar at the bottom) moves to the new location, then jumps back, and then jumps forward to the place you fast forwarded or rewound to. |
15:23:54 | * | adi|home shrugs... |
15:23:54 | adi|home | okay |
15:24:13 | Zagor | elinenbe: yes, that's because we don't really know when the disk is busy spinning instead of reading |
15:24:19 | Bagder | http://cvs.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/rockbox/docs/FAQ.diff?r1=1.16&r2=1.17&diff_format=u |
15:24:24 | Bagder | that shows the diff |
15:24:42 | Bagder | that colored things is for weenies |
15:24:43 | adi|home | is that why the new line additions weren't taking before? |
15:24:44 | Bagder | ;-) |
15:24:46 | adi|home | because they are now.. |
15:24:54 | elinenbe | Zagor: so would a fix even be possible? |
15:25:00 | alphawave | just curious, since the 2 middle lines on the layer are bitmap, can games be played? |
15:25:02 | LinusN | elinenbe and Zagor: when does this happen? |
15:25:09 | alphawave | *player |
15:25:09 | Zagor | elinenbe: everything is possible :-) |
15:25:17 | adi|home | not true :) |
15:25:23 | adi|home | not _everything_ |
15:25:24 | Zagor | LinusN: when searching in a track with the disk still |
15:25:25 | LinusN | alphawave: they are not bitmapped |
15:25:25 | adi|home | ;) |
15:25:42 | alphawave | what? |
15:25:44 | adi|home | alpha.. check the FAQ.. #39/40 |
15:25:45 | adi|home | :) |
15:25:57 | LinusN | Zagor: i can't see it |
15:26:10 | elinenbe | LinusN: whenever you fast forward or rewind on a song −− try going ahead or behind 45 seconds or a minute or so... |
15:26:26 | elinenbe | LinusN: and look at the status bar on the bottom... |
15:26:35 | LinusN | ah, now i see it |
15:26:52 | elinenbe | from funmp3players.com forum : |
15:26:53 | elinenbe | I tried Rockbox yesterday for the first time (daily build). I like the 2-like ID3 tag display. However, it is sort of frustrating that the 2nd line scrolls but the top does not. |
15:26:53 | * | adi|home points out htat he added questions 39/40 last night.. so anyone not seeing them previous are not at fault |
15:26:53 | elinenbe | Personally, I like the option I have on my AudioTron - which is where you choose if the line will scroll ONCE, ALWAYS, NEVER... and I use the "Once" option. |
15:27:40 | adi|home | oh.. btw.. i CANT WAIT for disk writing... |
15:27:50 | Zagor | elinenbe: all this will be configurable soon |
15:27:53 | adi|home | having to hand edit files that are chopped is killing me :) |
15:28:16 | elinenbe | Zagor: that is just a request from a user... I think it is a nice idea too though. |
15:28:46 | * | Bagder votes that the id3v2 question is added to get FAQ |
15:29:02 | alphawave | humm ok |
15:29:39 | adi|home | okay.. what was the question :) |
15:29:56 | * | adi|home hasn't paid attentiong ot that thread on the mailing list |
15:30:06 | Bagder | adi|home: why rockbox doesn't find their id3v2 tags |
15:30:14 | Bagder | see my reply just posted |
15:30:43 | LinusN | "soap opera" :-) |
15:31:19 | adi|home | okay... |

15:37:48 | adi|home | i still say that the ipod has the nicest interface of any unit ive seen yet... |
15:37:50 | Zagor | it's so clueless, the whole thing |
15:38:05 | adi|home | the comparison page Zagor? |
15:38:06 | alphawave | i know can the archos firmwar do that? |
15:38:10 | Bagder | the transfer rate is fine too ;-) |
15:38:15 | manitee | the ipod is hard to beat |
15:38:35 | Zagor | nah, the ipod is very easy to beat. archos is a harddisk, iPod is not. |
15:38:38 | alphawave | i would have gotten one but i cant afford it |
15:38:46 | Zagor | we can do whatever we like, iPod owners can not. |
15:38:51 | manitee | let me rephrase: the ipod UI and GUI is hard to beat |
15:39:07 | Zagor | ah. well grab the best bits and we'll use them. |
15:39:15 | manitee | the design and packaging is very clever and clean |
15:39:29 | manitee | dont get we wrong, you'll notice I happily own an archos |
15:39:40 | alphawave | hey zagor have you seen the light mod here http://www.mctubster.com |
15:39:50 | Zagor | the horrible horrible proprietary 1394 interface is reason #1 i would never even think of getting an iPod |
15:39:59 | Zagor | alphawave: yes |
15:40:24 | manitee | *shrug* I like the job dial |
15:40:27 | manitee | JOG dial |
15:40:36 | _seb_ | yeah, and the ipod actually is a hard disk |
15:40:39 | _seb_ | you can copy files to it |
15:40:49 | alphawave | but not in explorer |

15:41:21 | _seb_ | of course for windows you need specialized software |
15:41:28 | Zagor | _seb_: so it shows up on your mac desktop like any other harddisk? |
15:41:30 | adi|home | would it make sense to start adding more of those links to the website? |
15:41:33 | _seb_ | Zagor: yes |
15:41:35 | alphawave | it is a hard rive but you cant use it like a hard drive that what i like about archos |
15:41:36 | adi|home | for archos modding etc? |
15:41:39 | elinenbe | and I like the treeview showing folder depth: http://www.angelfire.com/electronic2/mymamboxjb/front1.jpg |

15:41:49 | Zagor | _seb_: ok, i was misinformed then. |
15:42:01 | _seb_ | no prob |
15:42:18 | _seb_ | i got an archos anyway, i don't have enough money for an ipod, and it doesn't have a lot of space |
15:42:37 | adi|home | see.. i don't like that dir. display.. its a waste of precious space to me |
15:42:41 | Zagor | elinenbe: I always wonder why they never show anything but the second level... |
15:42:42 | alphawave | they no have the 20 gig you know |
15:42:45 | alphawave | *now |
15:42:48 | _seb_ | yeah, but it's so expensive |
15:42:56 | alphawave | yea 500$ |
15:43:09 | _seb_ | that's ridiculous |
15:43:28 | alphawave | yeah get the 20 gig archos for 300$ |
15:43:37 | _seb_ | exactly |
15:43:54 | alphawave | or the recorder for 500$ i think |
15:44:32 | adi|home | recorder 20 gig goes for 350$ |
15:44:33 | _seb_ | i think the recorder is only $320 |
15:44:42 | _seb_ | yeah, it's barely more expensive than the player |
15:44:42 | alphawave | what? |
15:45:10 | alphawave | i bought my 5 gig player(icouldn't aford a better one) for 25$ |

15:50:57 | elinenbe | I just wanted to tell share some info with you all that I have not mentioned yet: when I used to plug my recorder 6k into the power in my car there was an AWFUL buzzing background noise (very loud) with the archos firmware, but with the jukebox it is no longer there... |
15:51:05 | alphawave | that happens alot to me |
15:51:09 | Bagder | nice adi |
15:51:16 | alphawave | that happens |

15:52:26 | LinusN | ok |
15:52:36 | manitee | Linus: did it do it for you? |
15:52:41 | LinusN | i'll have to go in a few minutes... |
15:52:48 | LinusN | i'm at 1:20 |
15:53:12 | adi|home | Bagder or LinusN could you please fix http://rockbox.haxx.se/manual-1.2/rec-general.html |
15:53:17 | adi|home | you forgot the footer again |
15:53:24 | adi|home | and manual-1.2 is not in the cvs |
15:53:39 | Zagor | it's not supposed to be |
15:53:43 | alphawave | darn 1:20? |
15:53:52 | alphawave | its 8:53 here |
15:53:55 | Zagor | manual-X.Y is a snapshot of the manual for the last release |
15:54:01 | adi|home | nods |
15:54:02 | LinusN | 1 minute 20 secs into the song |
15:54:06 | adi|home | but i keep updating those files |
15:54:06 | manitee | ba ha! |
15:54:10 | adi|home | and they don't actually update |
15:54:14 | adi|home | ie... |
15:54:15 | alphawave | i had that befor |
15:54:17 | adi|home | rec-general.html |
15:54:26 | alphawave | i defragmented and it worked then |
15:54:29 | Zagor | adi|home: that's because 1.2 doesn't change. go to manual/ instead... |
15:54:34 | adi|home | sighs |
15:54:37 | adi|home | okay |
15:54:39 | LinusN | didn't i add balance control? |
15:54:45 | Zagor | LinusN: you did |
15:54:50 | * | LinusN is reading the feature request |
15:55:04 | adi|home | then why do we have the 'snapshot' then? |
15:55:14 | LinusN | manitee: worked for me |
15:55:15 | LinusN | :-( |
15:55:17 | * | alphawave says ahh how long untill 1.9? |
15:55:17 | manitee | sheesh |
15:55:39 | Bagder | 1.9? |
15:55:41 | bobTHC | alphawave : heheh |
15:55:43 | LinusN | alphawave: defragmentation solved it? |
15:55:49 | alphawave | yes |
15:56:00 | alphawave | skiped at 1:20 every time |
15:56:05 | alphawave | that fixed |
15:56:07 | alphawave | it |
15:56:10 | LinusN | not good. looks like we have a FAT driver bug then |
15:56:19 | Zagor | adi|home: because people will be confused to see features in the manual that are not available in their firmware |
15:56:25 | alphawave | for some reason also my hd would spi for a wile |
15:56:28 | adi|home | guys.. have we given any thought to if ".rockbox" is a pre or post 1.3 addition? |
15:56:34 | adi|home | got ya zagor.. |
15:56:38 | LinusN | post |
15:56:39 | Bagder | I think post |
15:56:44 | Zagor | post, definitely |
15:56:48 | manitee | sub-modules? |
15:56:52 | Zagor | 1.3 doesn't have anything that uses .rockbox |
15:57:06 | adi|home | then we need a way to garuntee that foot.t and head.t are on the files before they are posted |
15:57:07 | elinenbe | configurable WPS could use .rockbox |
15:57:15 | Zagor | elinenbe: it's not in 1.3 |
15:57:25 | adi|home | nods |
15:57:26 | adi|home | okay... |

15:58:12 | Zagor | oh, the power numbers in the battery faq are wrong. they are too high. |
15:58:17 | | Part LinusN |
15:58:27 | elinenbe | a good idea here: similar to how the backlight time works, make the drive timeout work like that 1,2,3,...9,10,15,30,60,90,120,240,480,never... |
15:58:35 | * | Bagder sends the FAQ gnomes on Zagor |
15:58:50 | alphawave | has the disk spindown min been moved yet? |
15:59:04 | Zagor | unfortunately, my cheap multimeter doesn't measure this accurately enough :-( |
15:59:19 | Zagor | alphawave: ? |
16:00 |
16:00:05 | alphawave | the minimum disk spindown time |
16:00:16 | Zagor | alphawave: what do you mean moved? |
16:00:35 | alphawave | yes everytime i move it below4 secs it will never load |

16:12:48 | adi|home | thats fine phil... |
16:12:54 | adi|home | we'll just ignore you the same ;) |
16:13:37 | Bagder | Zagor: what about making PROPFONTS default right this minute? ;-) |
16:13:49 | Zagor | excellent idea :-) |
16:14:01 | alphawave | profonts? |
16:14:20 | Phil | profits? |
16:14:25 | Zagor | Bagder: the question is, do we simply change configure or something else? |
16:14:39 | Bagder | good q |
16:14:53 | alphawave | proponts i mean what is? |
16:15:02 | Zagor | proportional fonts, on the recorder |
16:15:04 | Phil | proportional fonts |
16:15:10 | alphawave | oic |
16:15:26 | Bagder | Zagor: I think we can change configure only |
16:15:41 | Bagder | and then when it proves to work fine we can remove all the old code and the define |
16:16:32 | Zagor | yes |
16:16:35 | alphawave | what are the chances of the buffer mod on the site? |
16:16:52 | Bagder | buffer mod? |
16:16:53 | Zagor | what is the buffer mod? |
16:17:18 | alphawave | if you look at the feature requestes, someone wanted a buffer mod |
16:17:35 | alphawave | instead of 2 mb's 8 mb's |
16:17:39 | Bagder | ah |
16:17:43 | Bagder | forget that ;-) |
16:17:46 | Zagor | well someone was looking at it a week or so ago. not sure it came to anything. |

16:22:08 | alphawave | not sure |

16:23:11 | alphawave | yeah for you recorder users |
16:24:20 | Zagor | Phil: use an external mic. the internal will always be plagued by harddrive noise |

16:32:23 | alphawave | lol *yes* |
16:32:44 | Phil | I told you to make a VM and use Java! |
16:33:41 | Bagder | Blaster_Master: most is C, yes, but it is very fat32, SH and MAS specific |
16:34:11 | Bagder | porting it to other players would need fixing the drivers |

17:09:22 | shampoo | so it will do |
17:09:32 | shampoo | the sound is quite good I must say.. |

17:14:11 | speedmerchant | make any sense? |
17:14:48 | alphawave | are you on linux windows or mac? |

17:15:30 | speedmerchant | no sign of any archos.mod on the disk |
17:15:41 | alphawave | well when you delete afile, its not really deleted |
17:15:54 | speedmerchant | when restarting the jukebox.. archos.mod reappears |
17:15:58 | alphawave | just the registry of the file is deleted |
17:16:21 | alphawave | use a file restore or something to fully delete it |
17:16:53 | alphawave | humm thats all i could think it is |
17:17:06 | speedmerchant | I'll try deleting from the command line |
17:17:13 | alphawave | you did "safely" removed he archos right? |
17:17:25 | alphawave | sometime that does it |
17:17:27 | speedmerchant | errmmm :D |
17:17:58 | alphawave | yeah i never do the safly remove unless i have to |

17:20:23 | alphawave | lol |
17:20:43 | alphawave | it happens |
17:21:02 | bobTHC | of course but it's not a powerfull thing, wait and see the rockbox... |

17:24:28 | alphawave | i would have but i couldn't afford it |

17:25:45 | alphawave | i bought my little 5 gig for 250$ |
17:26:03 | | Quit Snorlax ("gittar ny!") |
17:26:05 | pimlottc | of course there are 8 custom characters on the player... so theoretically you could kinda do pixel graphics on the player, but only 8 characters worth |
17:26:15 | pimlottc | 20 x 16 |
17:26:20 | alphawave | maybe if i break my unit, send it back to best buy and maybe they let me get a recorder hink it will wrk? |
17:26:58 | pimlottc | my player broke and archos replaced it but no free upgrade |
17:27:16 | pimlottc | I did get 8 more batteries and an extra pouch though :) |
17:27:17 | alphawave | i did get their 4 year extended warrently that also takes purposely done damage |
17:27:45 | alphawave | that is the best buy warrently to nothing to do with archos |

17:28:47 | pimlottc | hey now at least you can hit the buttons through the holes |
17:28:57 | alphawave | heh |
17:29:29 | alphawave | did you know you can pull the blue of the pouch without tearing it up though? |
17:29:54 | alphawave | just poke a little hole in the blue and start pulling |
17:30:06 | alphawave | then you have a sexy black case |
17:30:11 | pimlottc | heh cool |
17:30:17 | bobTHC | his dog already make the hole ;) |
17:30:19 | pimlottc | I should try that |
17:30:47 | pimlottc | you should call archos they'd probably send you another pouch |
17:31:17 | alphawave | nah im gonna go to a leather shop and have them make a custom case |
17:31:22 | pimlottc | nice |
17:31:48 | alphawave | with a plastic cocer on the scren so dust osn't get in the screen |
17:32:03 | alphawave | and so it won't get wet on a ccsident or something |

19:43:22 | lohap | well i have used cp -r /$home/mp3/blink182 to /mnt/archos/ |
19:43:31 | lohap | and i have used the mile manager as well |
19:43:34 | lohap | same problem |
19:43:40 | adi|home | hmm? |
19:43:43 | adi|home | whats the prob? |
19:44:00 | lohap | i have chmod -R 777 /mnt/archos |
19:44:18 | lohap | but if anyone but su tried to add a file or folder its says access denied |
19:46:01 | manitee|away | huh |
19:46:11 | manitee|away | adi: he is having an odd linux file copying issue |
19:46:23 | lohap | lol ill just have to su everytime i need to copy owt to it lol |
19:46:38 | pimlottc | just permissions sounds like |
19:46:39 | manitee|away | you sometimes have to do that for removable devices like zips and cd-rw's |
19:46:51 | manitee|away | pim: can't see how, it's 777 |
19:46:59 | Hadaka_ | why don't you mount it as the user you are using it as? |
19:47:12 | pimlottc | huh |
19:47:55 | Hadaka_ | either as root mount /dev/something /mnt/archos -o uid=username,gid=username - or just add it to fstab and put "user" in options and mount it as the user you want it to be |
19:49:22 | * | manitee|away really is away |
19:49:42 | lohap | another one i have which is a real arse is that you need to have the jukebox conx and switched on to mount it in linux if you conx it and the try to mount it, it says mount: special device /dev/sda1 does not exist |
19:49:46 | pimlottc | or make a group for archos access and add yourself to that group |
19:49:52 | pimlottc | and mount it with that gid |
19:50:08 | lohap | well its easiet to su up |
19:50:22 | pimlottc | nah you can change the fstab once and never have to bother |
19:50:24 | Hadaka_ | I didn't understand that last problem at all |
19:50:31 | manitee|away | heh |
19:50:38 | | Nick manitee|away is now known as manitee (~jiffy@rrcs-central-65-31-76-104.biz.rr.com) |
19:50:39 | pimlottc | he says if he boots linux w/o the archos connected then connects it he gets an error |
19:50:59 | Hadaka_ | he's prolly using devfs or something |
19:51:05 | lohap | well if you have to jukebox conx and switched on when you boot you can mount it if you conx after you have booted it will not boot it says that /dev/sda1 doesnt exist |
19:51:15 | pimlottc | personally I have not had that problem |
19:51:24 | pimlottc | do you have the hotplug scripts installed |
19:51:36 | lohap | how can i tell (newbie) |
19:51:58 | pimlottc | it's probably available as a package |
19:52:48 | pimlottc | hotplug automatically loads the proper modules when you plug in a device |
19:53:12 | lohap | right ill have a look using package manager |

20:19:54 | lohap | lol itll be ok ill must have to turn my jukebox on before the computer but its a right arse casue i aint got usb 2.0 support |
20:20:00 | lohap | even though i have usb 2.0 ports |
20:20:09 | lohap | any ideas how to install it |
20:21:05 | manitee|away | usb 2.0 support for mandrake? |
20:21:08 | | Nick manitee|away is now known as manitee (~jiffy@rrcs-central-65-31-76-104.biz.rr.com) |
20:21:20 | lohap | yea |
20:21:43 | manitee | figured they would have had a package by now - i dont really use that distro so im not sure |
20:21:53 | manitee | checking rpmfind.net |
20:22:25 | pimlottc | I would think it's just a matter of kernel drivers for 2.0 support |
20:23:02 | pimlottc | guess you'd have to patch the kernel |
20:23:03 | manitee | yeah thats true - what kernel version have you got lo |
20:23:35 | pimlottc | 1.0 is lamely slow but that's all my s20 will do |
20:24:14 | lohap | kernel 2.4.18 |
20:24:26 | manitee | thats the most current |
20:24:27 | lohap | 1.2.4.18 lol |
20:24:31 | manitee | (non dev anyway) |
20:24:46 | manitee | oh wait, I guess 19 is out now |
20:24:50 | lohap | kernel 2.4.18 |
20:24:58 | lohap | even |
20:25:18 | lohap | right ill have a look is it as easy as just installing hte new kernel |
20:25:39 | manitee | err not sure, i usually compile my own... pim? |
20:26:10 | lohap | well i aint that linuxed up yet lol |
20:26:25 | manitee | heh |
20:26:57 | manitee | i would think that is 18 had usb2 support it would be precompiled in |

20:33:35 | pimlottc | if you want to restart you can hit start and play |
20:33:50 | manitee | start and play? |
20:34:03 | * | manitee looks at his archos |
20:34:10 | manitee | i dont have a "start" button |
20:34:13 | | Quit lohap ("Client Exiting") |
20:35:22 | pimlottc | stop and play I meant |
20:35:32 | manitee | that restarts the current song? |
20:35:35 | pimlottc | well |
20:35:45 | pimlottc | under the regular firmwire it does |
20:36:01 | pimlottc | rockbox doesn't advance the file list when you play songs |
20:36:11 | pimlottc | i.e. you stat on 1 and listen thru to 3, hit stop and it still stays on 1 |
20:36:23 | manitee | gotcha |
20:36:26 | pimlottc | at least on 1.2 it didn't |
20:36:32 | pimlottc | I just got started playing with this stuff last night |
20:37:00 | manitee | yeah me too - i actaully had to go back to the archos firmware, cuz RB was skipping - linus said earlier this morning that it might be a FAT bug /shrug |
20:37:52 | pimlottc | I had no probs with the limited usage I had |
20:38:25 | pimlottc | it could stand to use a few features but that's all in the works |
20:39:00 | manitee | dont get me wrong, im still looking forward to RB, but until i solve the skippiong bit, its kinda unusable |
20:39:16 | manitee | maybe i should go back to 1.2, i was using the 8/26 daily |
20:41:18 | | Quit merwin ("[BX] Save water -- drink beer!") |

21:38:58 | lohap | hi all |
21:40:22 | LinusN | yo |
21:42:24 | lohap | anyone know ho wot patch the kernel |
21:42:35 | lohap | ho wot = how to |
21:45:33 | LinusN | linus kernel? |
21:45:35 | LinusN | linux |
21:45:51 | lohap | linux lol yea sorry |
21:46:12 | lohap | cause i have downloaded the 2.4.19 and im running 2.4.18 |
21:46:43 | Zagor | lohap: didn't you have a recorder 20? |
21:47:23 | lohap | yea i do i need usb 2.0 and 2.4.18 dont support it |
21:47:43 | Zagor | ok, and you downloaded the 2.4.19 patch? |
21:48:08 | lohap | yea |
21:48:24 | lohap | just need to know the commnad to patch it in bash |
21:49:03 | Zagor | go to the 2.4.18 kernel source root dir and run "patch -p1 < ../wherever/linux-2.4.19.patch" |
21:49:17 | juergen | speaking of USB, would the recorder20 not work with USB11 at all? |
21:49:31 | Zagor | juergen: usb2.0 is backwards compatible, so it works |
21:49:42 | juergen | Zagor: thanks |
21:50:55 | lohap | is the default /lib/modules |
21:53:19 | lohap | hermm i cant find the source root arrr |
21:53:53 | Zagor | lohap: if you haven't downloaded it previously, you probably don't have it |
21:54:10 | Zagor | distros rarely use the stock kernel, they love adding their own patches |
21:54:15 | LinusN | Zagor: i am looking at ata_perform_sleep() |
21:54:28 | LinusN | it waits for RDY |
21:54:42 | lohap | so how the hell do i update to 2.4.19 i need to download source and compile? |
21:54:46 | Zagor | look at wait_for_rdy() |
21:54:54 | Zagor | lohap: yes |
21:55:04 | LinusN | Zagor: i have |
21:55:07 | Zagor | no need to be upset |
21:55:18 | lohap | pants is that hard to do for a newbie |
21:55:20 | LinusN | after CMD_SLEEP it should wait for !BSY |
21:55:33 | LinusN | not RDY |
21:55:41 | Zagor | LinusN: it does. the first thing wait_for_rdy() does is wait_for_bsy(). *then* it checks RDY |
21:55:43 | LinusN | the return code will be wrong |
21:55:56 | LinusN | it shouldn't check RDY at all |
21:56:19 | LinusN | onlt BSY |
21:56:23 | LinusN | only |
21:56:24 | Zagor | ok |
21:56:28 | lohap | 2.4 or 2.5 hermm which to choose |
21:56:33 | Zagor | lohap: 2.4 |
21:56:54 | Zagor | 2.5 is the development branch. lots of test code and bugs. |
21:57:10 | lohap | k i love linux so so easy to setup lol |
21:57:19 | Zagor | LinusN: ok, but this really shouldn't make a difference for the bug we see, right? |
21:57:24 | Zagor | lohap: hehe |
21:57:25 | LinusN | no |
21:57:43 | lohap | now gzip or bz2 |
21:57:49 | LinusN | we don't check that return code |
21:58:04 | Zagor | lohap: bz2 if you have 'bzip2' installed (you probably do) |
21:58:14 | Zagor | LinusN: exactly |
21:58:39 | LinusN | however, we do the same check in soft_reset() |
21:58:49 | LinusN | that might be worse |
21:58:57 | LinusN | i'll debug that in a sec |
21:59:02 | lohap | yea but why have to version well im going to watch tv whilst it downloads and get some reports done brb |

21:59:51 | Zagor | lohap-catchingup: because not all (commercial) unices have bzip2 installed. |

22:10:14 | WS64 | Hello :) |
22:10:19 | LinusN | hi |
22:11:28 | WS64 | just a short question about the "HD lock" issue (did not happen to me so far thank god!)... |
22:11:28 | WS64 | For Linux you have a solution where you just have to connect your Archos. |
22:11:40 | LinusN | yes, but only for player |
22:11:50 | WS64 | Is it possible to get a bootable Linux floppy image that includes this deature? |
22:12:07 | Hadaka_ | hmmh, bootable linux floppies very rarely have usb-storage support |
22:12:14 | Hadaka_ | but I suppose it could be possible |
22:12:27 | WS64 | Hadaka, yes, that's what I thought :( |
22:12:45 | Hadaka_ | I don't think any readymade floppy does that, though I might be wrong |
22:12:54 | Hadaka_ | a CD-image is an another matter though |
22:13:10 | WS64 | Why? It's just bigger... |
22:14:43 | LinusN | c |
22:14:46 | Hadaka_ | a CD-image usually has lots more software just because it's bigger |
22:14:55 | Hadaka_ | so a full-blown linux could have usb-storage on that |
22:16:14 | WS64 | Yes, but some people don't want linux at all.. They just want that "unlock" feature without having to remove the HD out of the Archos... *g* A bootable floppy would not need lots of things like HD support and so on... :) |
22:16:24 | pimlottc | it's surely possible as a floppy |
22:16:48 | Hadaka_ | yeah, it's possible |
22:16:52 | Hadaka_ | just that no default setup does that |
22:17:04 | pimlottc | probably not |
22:17:19 | | Join Boogley_ [0] (~chatzilla@ge66kaznosky.cpmc.columbia.edu) |
22:17:30 | Hadaka_ | but a default setup cd-image might do that |
22:18:02 | WS64 | That's why I ask... Maybe it's possible to create such an image (no idea about copyrights here) and share it with the rockbox community. |
22:18:31 | pimlottc | it's certainly a good idea |
22:19:51 | Hadaka_ | no copyright problems ofcourse |
22:19:53 | *** | Saving seen data "./dancer.seen" |
22:23:20 | pimlottc | it may be possible with the dos floppy too though... I have seen boot floppies with USB before |
22:23:38 | pimlottc | like from Norton Ghost |
22:23:54 | pimlottc | dos USB drivers I should say |
22:24:20 | pimlottc | don't know if they do hd's tho |
22:24:26 | LinusN | pimlottc: yes it is very possible in DOS |
22:24:40 | LinusN | but in that world, nothing is free |
22:24:54 | LinusN | no source, nothing |

22:29:31 | pimlottc | you can't format a DOS floppy in winxp anymore can you? |

22:30:59 | WS64 | pimlottc, a rightclick on a floppy in XP still brings me the format option.... Is that what you meant? |
22:32:15 | Hadaka_ | yeah right, I'm having troubles finding a Windows archos user - everybody I know use LInux :) |
22:32:18 | LinusN | Zagor: i see the ATA bug now |
22:32:26 | LinusN | it is a mutex race |
22:33:28 | pimlottc | ws64 - can you make it bootable? |
22:33:32 | LinusN | ata_read_sectors() checks the sleeping flag before taking the mutex |
22:34:23 | WS64 | pimlottc, I'll check... |
22:35:05 | | Join datazone-work [0] (~datazone@chaos.iadfw.net) |
22:35:18 | WS64 | Yes, it has an option "create MSDOS start disk" |
22:35:18 | WS64 | (not tested, should I?) |
22:35:33 | pimlottc | nah I was just checking |
22:40:04 | Hadaka_ | hmmh, gcc-3.2 in toolchain-src in debian - now I could test it if my archos worked correctly |
22:41:27 | LinusN | HAHA! I killed the dreaded "ATA hang bug"! |
22:41:54 | pimlottc | great |
22:41:56 | merwin | what bug is that? |
22:42:33 | LinusN | the one that caused a read error and left the LED on when browsing directories |
22:42:39 | Hes | Oooh? |
22:42:54 | LinusN | if you entered a dir exactly when the disk spun down |
22:43:01 | pimlottc | can't say I've run into that but glad to hear it won't happen |
22:43:09 | LinusN | or when reading a fortune cookie :-) |
22:43:16 | dwihno|gone | Hooray for Linus Felzing Wiezer Snauzer! :D |
22:43:35 | Hes | What was it? |
22:43:36 | pimlottc | hey, fortune |
22:43:41 | pimlottc | that's a game that could be run on the player |
22:43:47 | pimlottc | (well the short ones) |
22:43:58 | * | pimlottc has recorder game envy |
22:43:59 | dwihno|gone | "That wasn't chicken" |
22:44:17 | LinusN | Hes: ata_read_sectors() took the mutex after checking the sleeping flag |
22:44:19 | Hes | I implemented fortune... on the recorder, should be easy to port for the player |
22:44:41 | dwihno|gone | Hey, it's raining(!?) :O |
22:44:42 | Hes | accidentally the disk had a tendency to spin down just as i had read a cookie and wanted another one while testing it 8-) |
22:44:51 | dwihno|gone | Linus: did you cause this with your ATA stuff? :) |
22:44:54 | LinusN | and perform_sleep took it and released it at two occations |
22:44:59 | merwin | LinusN : ahhh |
22:45:04 | pimlottc | tsk tsk |
22:45:11 | LinusN | so read_sectors could sneak in between |
22:45:15 | Hes | Okay |
22:45:26 | LinusN | nasty stuff |
22:45:49 | LinusN | that was only the case when SLEEP-ing, not in STANDBY |
22:45:59 | merwin | pimlottc : i agree... fortune needs to be ported to player :) |
22:46:01 | LinusN | that's why it suddenly reappeared |
22:46:04 | dwihno|gone | Where's Bagder? I need to get my garbage taken out! :) |
22:46:09 | LinusN | when zagor enabled the sleep |
22:46:37 | Hes | How about the intro play feature? |
22:46:49 | merwin | Hes : could be done easy enough |
22:47:16 | merwin | Hes : It'd be hard to put notification on the player that it's in use though |
22:47:33 | LinusN | intro play? |
22:47:43 | merwin | LinusN : first 10 seconds of the song for each song |
22:48:02 | LinusN | that's something i've never had a use for |
22:48:08 | merwin | me neither |
22:48:09 | LinusN | enlighten me |
22:48:23 | merwin | I find it easy enough to press the next button :) |
22:48:29 | Hes | I was actually referring to the intro play introduced by the I/O errors. |
22:49:23 | merwin | Hes: oooooh, that :) |
22:49:27 | merwin | Hes: the new "feature" :-) |
22:49:40 | merwin | Hes: we need to get that fixed before the release |
22:49:45 | LinusN | ah, actually, the resume write may have interfered with the MP3 data loading |
22:49:51 | WS64 | I never had used that intro thing too, but it might be a nice feature in case you wanna find back into a long playlist where the actual position somehow got lost by the player |
22:50:13 | merwin | LinusN: fix it! j/k :) |
22:50:20 | LinusN | but i haven't had that problem, so i can't look for it |
22:50:25 | merwin | I'm just tired of hearing the first couple minutes of each song |
22:50:44 | LinusN | merwin: you have it all the time??? |
22:50:50 | Hes | I have Lots of it |
22:50:57 | merwin | LinusN : yeah, aout every other song |
22:51:08 | LinusN | since when? |
22:51:29 | merwin | LinusN : not exactly sure... yesterday was the first time in a long while that i actually used my rockbox to play music instead of testing code |
22:51:54 | LinusN | it would be good to know which build was the latest that worked |
22:52:51 | merwin | LinusN : it's hard to test since you have to spend at least like 10 minutes to see if it happens... sometimes it'll play a few songs fine and then hit one. Other times it'll do it all the time |
22:52:55 | Hes | bedtime. |
22:52:59 | merwin | nite hes |
22:53:04 | LinusN | nite hes |
22:53:06 | Hes | I'll grab an old build tomorrow morning for driving to work |
22:53:27 | merwin | anyone got a build from a week or so ago? |
22:53:27 | Hes | this morning it skipped on like 7 of 8 songs |
22:53:35 | LinusN | and it always skips to the next song? |
22:53:40 | merwin | LinusN : yup |
22:53:45 | LinusN | wow |
22:54:03 | merwin | LinusN : with no break inbetween, so it has the next song buffered up and everything |
22:54:09 | merwin | LinusN : no disk spinning up or anything |
22:54:15 | pimlottc | heh |
22:54:18 | LinusN | aha |
22:54:33 | pimlottc | well good to hear you have no gap switching working :) |
22:54:45 | merwin | pimlottc : that's the only time it actually works |
22:54:47 | merwin | heh |
22:55:22 | pimlottc | "it's not a bug, it's a feature" |
22:55:33 | merwin | well, and when switching normally i guess... when hitting next or prev it takes a couple seconds to start the next track |
22:56:00 | LinusN | merwin: you use resume? |
22:56:12 | merwin | LinusN : yup |
22:56:18 | LinusN | try to disable it |
22:56:24 | merwin | ok, i'll do that right now |
22:57:18 | LinusN | i think then ATA bug might have caused that bug too |

23:07:29 | merwin | LinusN : seems ok now, 2.5 songs and no skip... i'll try a couple more |
23:07:49 | Silly_Fly | is there a plan to implement an external programs support? |
23:08:21 | merwin | .rmd extension! (rockbox module) :-) |
23:08:32 | pimlottc | so thanks |
23:08:38 | LinusN | We have talked about plugins |
23:08:49 | LinusN | pimlottc: you're welcome |
23:08:51 | merwin | or .rox |
23:09:11 | LinusN | we haven't really talked that much about extensions... :-) |
23:09:14 | pimlottc | you'll have to do some sort of plugins eventually (or make it a full blown os) |
23:09:23 | pimlottc | I mean you already got 3 games in there and people will want to do more |
23:09:32 | merwin | pimlottc : we still have 150kb of firmware left :) |
23:09:52 | LinusN | we will port DirectX to Rockbox :-) |
23:10:10 | merwin | LinusN : why not? wine can do it, why can't we |
23:10:10 | pimlottc | get quake1 running and it'll be front page /. for sure |
23:10:20 | dwihno | Yay! Soon CS will be available for the Rockbox platform :) |
23:10:39 | merwin | pimlottc : all we need is doom to run |
23:10:45 | nsauzede | doom ? |
23:10:55 | pimlottc | network play through the serial port... |
23:10:59 | nsauzede | I've got a bouncing ball for the players :) |
23:11:22 | pimlottc | scary though that's actually doable... I could see head to head archos tetris happening |
23:11:30 | LinusN | well, gotta sleep now |
23:11:37 | merwin | LinusN : couldn't you make some sort of USB remote? or is all of the usb handled internally |
23:11:40 | Silly_Fly | give me Mario on the recorder, and i'll be happy enough...... |
23:11:48 | merwin | Silly_Fly : it's doable |
23:11:49 | pimlottc | gameboy emulator! |
23:11:58 | LinusN | merwin: the USB is nothing but an ATA bridge |
23:11:59 | merwin | pimlottc : if only we had the mhz to do that |
23:12:09 | merwin | LinusN : ahh |
23:12:12 | Silly_Fly | sure... |
23:12:15 | LinusN | we have no control over it |
23:12:22 | LinusN | well night all! |
23:12:25 | nsauzede | linus: 1 question only ? |
23:12:25 | pimlottc | well |
23:12:27 | merwin | night linus |
23:12:30 | Silly_Fly | but, untill I get to an adaquate level of programming |
23:12:31 | pimlottc | you could send really weird ata packets |
23:12:34 | LinusN | nsauzede: ok |
23:12:36 | pimlottc | and use a modified version on the pc side |
23:12:36 | pimlottc | :) |
23:12:39 | merwin | LinusN : looks like resume was causing the problem |
23:12:48 | Silly_Fly | meanwhile, I'm working on a calculator... |
23:12:53 | nsauzede | do you know if it's possible for rockbox to know when host has disc USB ? |
23:12:54 | dwihno | Linus: Did you commit the ATA-fix? |
23:12:57 | LinusN | merwin: then the ATA fix will kill that bug too |
23:13:02 | pimlottc | or just use file operations on a special subdirection on the archos |
23:13:04 | merwin | LinusN : wonderful |
23:13:04 | LinusN | it is committed |
23:13:29 | LinusN | pimlottc: we can't access the ATA when USB is active, and vice versa |
23:13:34 | dwihno | Hail Linus, master of fixes! :-D |
23:13:59 | LinusN | nsauzede: we know when the USB cable is inserted |
23:14:05 | LinusN | nothing else |
23:14:06 | pimlottc | from the archos os, nod |
23:14:16 | pimlottc | too bad |

23:15:05 | LinusN | damn |
23:15:14 | | Quit Mathuin (Remote closed the connection) |
23:15:20 | merwin | LinusN : no resume on |
23:15:23 | LinusN | still, try the latest bleeding edge |
23:15:43 | merwin | okey |
23:15:48 | Zagor | LinusN: how do you mean it released it twice? |
23:15:51 | LinusN | and if that doesn't work, we have work to do tomorrow |
23:15:59 | merwin | LinusN : yup |
23:16:16 | LinusN | Zagor: that wasn't entirely the truth |
23:16:43 | LinusN | ata_read_sectors() checked the sleeping flag and took the mutex after that |
23:17:13 | pimlottc | hey ws64 you still here |
23:18:37 | Zagor | LinusN: yes? and why did you add ata_perform_soft_reset? the only thing it does is take/return the mutex, just like ata_soft_reset did. ?? |
23:18:49 | Zagor | not complaining, just not getting it :-) |
23:18:51 | LinusN | Zagor: the opposite |
23:18:53 | merwin | i like big butts and i cannot lie. them other brothers can't deny |
23:19:06 | LinusN | perform_soft_reset does not take it |
23:19:35 | LinusN | we needed that, otherwise the mutex would be released by ata_soft_reset |
23:20:05 | LinusN | when called by ata_read_sectors |
23:20:39 | Zagor | i thought we ruled out a multithread problem from that? |
23:20:56 | LinusN | we created one |
23:21:48 | Zagor | how? |
23:22:46 | LinusN | 1) perform_sleep() takes the mutex, sends the SLEEP command and waits for BSY (yielding) |
23:22:56 | | Quit merwin ("gotta log off for a sec") |
23:23:15 | LinusN | 2) ata_read_sectors() checks the (false) sleeping flag and waits for the mutex |
23:23:40 | Zagor | doh. got it. good catch! |
23:23:43 | LinusN | 3) perform_sleep() is ready, sets sleeping=true and releases the mutex |
23:23:53 | LinusN | *bang* |
23:24:07 | LinusN | gdb rox again! |
23:24:13 | Zagor | indeed |
23:24:43 | LinusN | the multithread problem we ruled out was probably trying to avoid an unnecessary yield() |
23:24:52 | Zagor | i'd say this means i'll whip up an 1.3 release tomorrow |
23:25:14 | LinusN | Zagor: i adjusted the key voltage levels a little too |
23:25:20 | Zagor | yeah, i noticed |
23:25:38 | LinusN | Zagor: merwin still has the hideous skip-to-the-next-file problems |
23:25:51 | Zagor | still? |
23:25:58 | LinusN | that could be caused by the mutex race, but not necessarily |
23:26:32 | Zagor | did he build from cvs himself? |
23:26:55 | Zagor | because the fix didn't build until 4 minutes ago |
23:27:15 | LinusN | he verified by turning off the resume |
23:27:22 | LinusN | and he still had the problem |
23:27:42 | Zagor | hmm |
23:28:01 | LinusN | i have to go to sleep now |
23:28:06 | LinusN | cu tomorrow |
23:28:20 | Zagor | bye |
23:28:25 | LinusN | please test the buttons |
23:28:42 | Zagor | yup |
23:28:43 | | Part LinusN |
23:31:12 | nsauzede | zagor ? |
23:32:09 | Silly_Fly | anyone having problems with the up button on the recorder?? |
23:35:03 | Zagor | nsauzede: ? |
23:35:35 | nsauzede | zagor : do you know where I can find ISD200 datasheet ? |
23:35:38 | Zagor | Silly_Fly: not me, but there's a couple of button bugs reported. try the latest bleeding edge build and see if that changes |
23:35:58 | Zagor | nsauzede: i'll upload it to the rockbox site |
23:36:05 | nsauzede | cool ! |
23:36:10 | Silly_Fly | zagor : ok. i'll reprt back soon :) |
23:36:49 | nsauzede | I asked Linus about the possiblity to see in the ISD200 register when host has disconnected (ie: umount / eject under linux) |
23:37:01 | nsauzede | any idea ? |
23:37:38 | Zagor | no, you won't see it |
23:37:53 | Zagor | it's only a logical operation on the PC side. the usb device doesn't know about it. |
23:38:16 | nsauzede | oh, you mean the host doesn't turn off slave/master mode ? |
23:38:27 | nsauzede | (as I've seen in rockbox) |
23:38:56 | Zagor | no. it just flushes the caches and removes the devices from it's active device list. it doesn't even tell the usb device anything. |
23:39:08 | nsauzede | ahh right :) |
23:39:13 | Zagor | i could be wrong, but I think that's how it is |
23:39:40 | nsauzede | it's because I was bored un/plugging USB cable when trying new firmware |

23:39:55 | dwihno|gone | You ppl should go to sleep :) |
23:40:04 | Zagor | dwihno|gone: go away! ;) |
23:40:14 | nsauzede | so I wondered if it could be possible to insert/extract USB by soft :) |
23:40:56 | nsauzede | (indeed, I'm actually _doing_ that, but manually rather than automagically detected :) |
23:40:56 | dwihno|gone | Zagor: I'm gone already, now you follow my drift and go to sleep. Or watch that nice Steve Martin comedy on TV3 ;) |
23:41:03 | Zagor | nsauzede: well we could just enter/exit usb mode with a key press, but it's too dangerous to be in the normal code |
23:41:19 | nsauzede | -> what I do ;) |
23:41:21 | Zagor | dwihno|gone: I don't have TV3. I don't pay for television. |
23:41:22 | nsauzede | (only for me :) |
23:41:44 | dwihno|gone | Zagor: well, go to sleep, you got work(tm) tomorrow |
23:42:07 | Zagor | hehe. yes daddy... |
23:42:09 | dwihno|gone | I'm off now anyways ... Don't forget to close the t-shirt contest for new submits in a couple of days :) |
23:42:32 | nsauzede | oops, I haven't contributed yet :/ |

23:43:47 | nsauzede | zagor : I finally (re) found the game for the player I told you about. It was done by Psyco Dedman.. |
23:43:57 | nsauzede | Are you interested ? |
23:44:04 | Zagor | nsauzede: nice. have you tried it? |
23:44:08 | nsauzede | (I ported it to rockbox menu) |
23:44:10 | nsauzede | yes |
23:44:16 | nsauzede | works great ! |
23:44:27 | Zagor | is it any fun? |
23:44:37 | nsauzede | well.. that's the point, |
23:44:54 | Silly_Fly | zagor : buttons act much better. thanks. |
23:45:02 | Zagor | Silly_Fly: excellent! |
23:45:18 | nsauzede | Indeed, without a 131x64 bitmap LCD, we can't pretend to prot Doom(tm) for players.. |
23:45:25 | Jet8810 | are games possible for player? |
23:45:38 | nsauzede | Plus there is only one level; Jet : yes |
23:45:43 | nsauzede | one (errr...) |
23:46:07 | Silly_Fly | have you given any thought about including my snake game? |
23:46:12 | Zagor | Jet8810: they are just much more limited since we have very little graphics possibilities |
23:46:26 | Zagor | Silly_Fly: well, we have one snake game already... :-) |
23:46:41 | Jet8810 | heh |
23:46:43 | Jet8810 | right |
23:46:44 | Jet8810 | i realize that |
23:46:47 | nsauzede | zagor: I've done experiments with a 14x20 bitmap screen on my player.. |
23:46:56 | Jet8810 | but as my studio only cost me $70 i am quite satisfied :) |
23:47:03 | Silly_Fly | I know, but mine's more simple. for classic lovers... plus it has a speed setting...... |
23:47:15 | Zagor | nsauzede: data sheet page updated |
23:47:21 | nsauzede | I've done a fly simulation, bouncing ball, and planned some snake game |
23:47:31 | Zagor | (let's hope Cypress doesn't complain about me publishing these) |
23:47:45 | Zagor | nsauzede: fly simulation? does it look good? |
23:47:46 | nsauzede | zagor: isd ? oops.. |
23:47:52 | Jet8810 | currently no, as said (alot) in other threads, the player can only |
23:47:52 | Jet8810 | display text. |
23:47:52 | Jet8810 | if anyone would come up with a way to draw graphics on the player, be |
23:47:52 | DBUG | Enqueued KICK Jet8810 |
23:47:52 | Jet8810 | sure I'll convert it right away... |
23:47:55 | Jet8810 | quoted from an email |
23:48:09 | pimlottc | nsauzede - i'd like to see that code |
23:48:14 | Synthe | did y'all see the news that fraunhofer and thompson are now trying to charge $0.75 license fee for any MP3 decoder? |
23:48:29 | nsauzede | zagor: well, it's just the bouncing ball mode, with random x and y deltas :) |
23:48:41 | Zagor | Synthe: yes. but we're off the hook since every custom has already paid for the micronas chip |
23:48:49 | Silly_Fly | nsauzede : so graphics is available for players too??? |
23:49:00 | | Quit dwihno|gone (Remote closed the connection) |
23:49:01 | nsauzede | pimlott: well, I can post it.. |
23:49:12 | Synthe | aye, but I wonder if that means archos will suddenly stop producing any mp3 players |
23:49:13 | nsauzede | silly: yes, well nearly :) |

23:49:36 | | Nick dwihno is now known as dwihno|gone (dwihno@Bald067.Baldakinen.Umea.SE) |
23:49:45 | Zagor | Synthe: no. the only difference is the Micronas chips they use will cost $0.75 more per unit |
23:49:52 | Silly_Fly | nsauzed : so what are you waiting for? there are thousends of player-users out there craving for games! :) |
23:50:08 | pimlottc | nsauzede - I was just starting to look into doing the same thing myself |
23:50:24 | nsauzede | silly: listen, indeed, bitmap is not possible, but 8 charcells may be custom designed, |
23:50:25 | Synthe | and if they buy a million chips next year for building mp3 players, thats an extra $750,000 they have to pay |
23:50:27 | Zagor | Synthe: hardware units don't have much of a problem with this. software players are much worse off, especially Free Software ones |
23:51:08 | nsauzede | pimlott,silly: So, I've designed a framework (well err..) where I've an array, |
23:51:11 | Synthe | I know that in the rockbox faq they say it'd be very difficult if not impossible to support ogg or wma, but it'd be a great coup if rockbox could :) |
23:51:40 | Zagor | Synthe: start studying dsp programming ;) |

23:52:30 | | Join merwin [0] (merwin@1Cust81.tnt6.new-orleans.la.da.uu.net) |
23:52:32 | kargatron | quick qstn: does latest rockbox have 'goto'? like going to track 50 of a playlist? |
23:52:45 | Silly_Fly | nsauzede : I mean, if you could change them in no-time (and easily), you could use them (well, roghly) to display 'graphics'... |
23:52:49 | kargatron | or for the moment do I just hit 'next' N times? |
23:53:01 | Zagor | kargatron: 50xNext, unfortunately |
23:53:06 | kargatron | thx |
23:53:11 | nsauzede | pimlott,silly: so, with 7x5 pixels per charcell, I've got 14x20 pixels total (plus some extra standard text on remaining chars) |
23:53:21 | kargatron | still most grateful for real resume, so I'll survive |
23:53:23 | merwin | Zagor: that ata problem that linus fixed also seemingly fixed the automatic track skipping "feature" :-) |
23:53:38 | merwin | Zagor: I just tested out with the latest build and it's working after 7 - 10 songs |
23:53:41 | Zagor | merwin: yes, we suspected it would. that's really nice! |
23:53:42 | nsauzede | silly: that's exactly what I do, it's even nearly fluid :) |
23:54:08 | pimlottc | nsauzede - thought it was 8x5 |
23:54:15 | nsauzede | nope :) |
23:54:25 | pimlottc | that's what I get for reading the docs |
23:54:51 | nsauzede | problem is when displaying pixels that are close to inter-charcell, the space is a bit too large.. |
23:55:34 | nsauzede | player-bitmap: if anyone is interested, I can post some clean demo-like.. |
23:55:50 | Silly_Fly | zagor : did you look at my game? I really like it, and I'd hate changing the games menu every time a new firmware comes out..... |
23:55:58 | pimlottc | nsauzede - you mean the gaps between cells? |
23:56:09 | | Part kargatron |
23:56:19 | nsauzede | player-bitmap: pimm: yes; for now, the most probable game to make is snake |
23:56:31 | nsauzede | it would be playable.. |
23:56:44 | Silly_Fly | nsauzee : that'll be nice |
23:56:52 | nsauzede | but zagor, still interested in gamebox ? (psyco dedman) |
23:56:58 | pimlottc | I was thinking the gaps should be accounted for in the 'resolution' just that they are always blank |
23:57:13 | pimlottc | otherwise it would screw up the proportions |
23:57:13 | nsauzede | why ? |
23:57:33 | nsauzede | it would dcrease number of pixels drastically |
23:58:04 | Silly_Fly | what's the resolution of the player anyway? |
23:58:13 | nsauzede | hum ? |
23:58:25 | pimlottc | I mean when you have 2 7x5 cells next to each other consider it 15x5 with the center column of 'pixels' being the intercell gap |
