00:43:59 | ironi | it has stopped charging batteries |
00:44:13 | ironi | so i have an GP charger |
00:44:26 | ironi | thought of selling it witht he charger and double sets of batteries |
00:44:37 | ironi | is $70 expecting too much? |
00:44:51 | ironi | actually i'd be satisfied with $60 |

00:52:08 | tracktheripper | and I have a recorder 10 |
00:53:17 | diddystar5 | never mind I need to talk to someone that is a pro at it right now like HARDEEP |
00:54:47 | tracktheripper | well no-one is here |
00:54:49 | tracktheripper | what JB do u have? |
00:55:09 | diddystar5 | r20 |

00:56:03 | tracktheripper | what was the player like? |
00:56:09 | diddystar5 | sad |
00:56:25 | diddystar5 | the recorder is so much better |
00:57:48 | diddystar5 | gotta go |
00:57:50 | | Part diddystar5 |
00:58:37 | ironi | yeah the player is not much of value |

01:11:16 | diddystar5 | thanks |
01:11:28 | diddystar5 | the clock in bouncer dosen't work! |
01:11:55 | hardeep | diddystar5: bouncer? as in the bounce demo? |
01:12:08 | diddystar5 | yep |
01:12:28 | hardeep | it used to have a clock? |
01:12:48 | diddystar5 | before it became a plugin yes |
01:14:14 | ironi | i do... |
01:15:39 | ironi | sounded like i was the only one in the world still owning a player =) |
01:16:44 | hardeep | diddystar5: looks like it was intentionally removed by Zagor when he converted it to a plugin... he'd be the one to ask |
01:18:06 | diddystar5 | i don't know in bounce.c, the code for the clock is still there |
01:19:17 | diddystar5 | never mind it looks like your right, the clock is defined but never used |
01:19:18 | hardeep | diddystar5: yes, but it's been #ifdef'd out (USE_CLOCK) |
01:20:08 | diddystar5 | should have looked before i yelled :) |

03:41:20 | Neo | hey guys |
03:41:25 | Neo | reading on the requests |
03:41:34 | Neo | and there is the chip8 emulator |
03:42:33 | Neo | how do i install a patch |
03:42:38 | Neo | and where do i download it |
03:45:06 | thu | my suggestion would be to wait until it sneaks its way into a nightly build |
03:45:17 | thu | to use a patch you have to compile your own rockbox |
03:46:33 | Neo | o |
03:46:36 | Neo | complicated? |
03:46:56 | thu | requires more work than just dragging a file to your jukebox |
03:47:00 | Neo | yeh |
03:47:06 | Neo | but how do i download a patch |
03:47:14 | Neo | the one i want is under patches |
03:47:16 | thu | like any file |
03:47:43 | thu | patch = set of modifications to the rockbox source code |
03:47:56 | Neo | ye |
03:48:02 | Neo | how do i get the modifications |
03:48:06 | Neo | or the patch |
03:48:08 | thu | you can't use a patch w/out compiling your own rockbox |
03:48:17 | Neo | how |
03:48:23 | thu | read the site |
03:48:26 | thu | under docs |
03:48:31 | Neo | ok |
03:48:33 | Neo | i will tomorrow |
03:48:40 | Neo | u gona be here in the morning |
03:48:49 | thu | probably not |
03:48:52 | Neo | o |

15:45:18 | eXus | anybody there got a FM recorder ? |
15:45:26 | eXus | or know the specs of the charger ? |
15:46:08 | eXus | or knows any other Archos products related IRC ? |
15:46:42 | Neo | i have an archos recorder |
15:46:44 | Neo | not fm |
15:46:51 | Neo | ive heard the fm tuner isnt that good |
15:46:57 | eXus | it's really good... |
15:47:02 | Neo | o |
15:47:04 | eXus | even if it doesn't work for me ;) |
15:47:07 | Neo | ok |
15:47:12 | Neo | no |
15:47:19 | Neo | it tuning into radio stations isnt clear |
15:47:26 | Neo | the product itself is probably good |
15:47:30 | eXus | I'm in France, so it won't matter there |
15:47:33 | Neo | all archos products are good |
15:47:34 | Neo | ;) |
15:47:38 | eXus | :) |
15:47:57 | eXus | just before it died, I tried to hear at some radio stations.... |
15:48:00 | eXus | worked great |
15:48:16 | eXus | (it's not dead, it's just... hmmm... sleeping) |
15:48:48 | eXus | seems like they gave me the wrong charger... they gave me the same as u'r |
15:49:02 | eXus | v u the specs ? |
15:49:11 | Neo | 1 sec |
15:49:14 | Neo | leme see |

15:49:52 | Neo | output: 9v dc 600mA |
15:49:55 | eXus | LOL |
15:50:04 | eXus | ok; they're almost stupid.... |
15:50:21 | eXus | now the charger they gave me is dead, and my player has it's batteries down |
15:50:37 | Neo | that sucks |
15:50:38 | Neo | i gtg |
15:50:40 | eXus | in fact I believe it should be a 5V 1200mA for me ! |

20:03:50 | Neo | *an |
20:04:07 | adi|home | okay.. we don't do 'already built patches' |
20:04:17 | adi|home | patches are intended for developers to play with.. |
20:04:21 | adi|home | but if you want one.. |
20:04:29 | Neo | yeh? |
20:04:36 | adi|home | or to try other patches... |
20:04:48 | adi|home | follow the docs on building a cross compiler, then build rockbox yourself... |
20:04:55 | Neo | yeh |
20:04:58 | Neo | i cant do that |
20:05:02 | Neo | i got to step 5 |
20:05:04 | Neo | then no more |

20:06:19 | Neo | and i need the calinder and memos |
20:06:19 | adi|home | but i can try and help if you want ;) |
20:06:20 | Neo | ;) |
20:06:35 | adi|home | neo.. no one is going to build it for you... |
20:06:47 | adi|home | give you a fish.. you eat for a night.. teach you to fish, you eat for a life time |

20:07:05 | Neo | yeh |
20:07:07 | Neo | ok |
20:07:08 | adi|home | got to rather |
20:07:21 | Neo | well, im no sure how becasue each patch is a differnt file |
20:07:33 | adi|home | have you read the patches doc? |
20:07:37 | Neo | if you could teach me how to make th calender/memo |
20:07:39 | Neo | yeh |
20:07:51 | Neo | could u teach me now |
20:07:56 | Quelsaruk | adi|home: i get *PANIC* ATA -1 |
20:08:21 | Quelsaruk | it's a strange problem, i just get it using RomBox |
20:08:33 | adi|home | ahh.. that i cant help ya... |
20:08:43 | adi|home | i have no experiance with the flash branch |
20:08:46 | Quelsaruk | i've just mailed idc-dragon to tell him, but... i'd like to talk with zagor or linusn |
20:08:55 | adi|home | neo.. you don't learn how to work a specific patch.. |
20:09:01 | Quelsaruk | it's ant ata error.. something with the drive |
20:09:06 | adi|home | you have the source tree as a whole... |
20:09:17 | adi|home | and the patches are chunks of code that ppl wnat to add... |
20:09:36 | adi|home | you need to add that code using the 'patch' command as per the doc |
20:09:43 | Neo | patch command? |
20:09:56 | adi|home | in other words you didn't read the doc neo ;) |
20:10:08 | Neo | on the site? |
20:10:16 | adi|home | nods |
20:10:28 | Neo | i read that |
20:10:28 | adi|home | neo... have you built rockbox w/o any patches yet? |
20:10:46 | Neo | someone built one for me with the chip8 emulator |
20:10:51 | Neo | but i dont know how to myself |
20:10:57 | adi|home | well... |
20:11:01 | Neo | so i do have the chip 8 emulator |
20:11:04 | adi|home | you have 3 choices.. |
20:11:22 | adi|home | 1. learn how to do this all on your own and add patches/test code whenever you want |
20:11:34 | adi|home | 2. keep relying on the random acts of strangers |
20:11:54 | adi|home | 3. wait for the patches to get integrated into the main tree (if/when) happens. |
20:12:04 | Neo | yeh |
20:12:06 | Neo | id like one |
20:12:13 | adi|home | okay.. |
20:12:14 | Neo | can u briefly explain how to do this |
20:12:19 | adi|home | so.. are you on linux or windows? |
20:12:23 | Neo | because the other dox confused me |

20:18:01 | MT | true |
20:18:02 | hardeep | Quelsaruk: yes, we should.... unfortunately, mkdir() hasn't been implemented yet in the fat code |
20:18:45 | hardeep | MT: you can also access latest CVS from rockbox site... e.g. rockbox.haxx.se/apps |
20:18:59 | hardeep | MT: combine that with wget and you have another way of getting latest cvs |

22:11:38 | [IDC]Dragon | Yes! |
22:11:42 | midknight2k3 | :) |
22:12:07 | [IDC]Dragon | I released it today to Jose Maria. |
22:12:15 | midknight2k3 | it is fully functional? |
22:12:33 | [IDC]Dragon | I'd like to do one at a time currently, to avoid broken boxed piling up. |
22:12:41 | midknight2k3 | lol |
22:12:55 | midknight2k3 | so it'd done? |
22:12:56 | [IDC]Dragon | It works for him, but the HD startup is unstable. |
22:12:58 | midknight2k3 | basically? |
22:13:07 | midknight2k3 | very cool |
22:13:23 | midknight2k3 | is there a way to replace archos rom? |
22:13:32 | [IDC]Dragon | It gived ATA error -1, but gets out of it if USB is plugged and unplugged. |
22:13:43 | midknight2k3 | that's weird |
22:13:51 | [IDC]Dragon | You have the wrong chip? |
22:13:57 | midknight2k3 | me? |
22:14:02 | [IDC]Dragon | yes. |
22:14:07 | midknight2k3 | I meant is there a way to restore archos firmware to rom |
22:14:16 | [IDC]Dragon | You mentioned replacing it. |
22:14:23 | midknight2k3 | oh lol |
22:14:42 | [IDC]Dragon | Yes, certainly, you can burn the old stuff back in. |
22:14:42 | midknight2k3 | I meant replacing rockbox in rom with archos firmware |
22:14:47 | midknight2k3 | yeah |
22:14:52 | midknight2k3 | a good idea i just had! |
22:15:01 | [IDC]Dragon | Which is? |
22:15:05 | midknight2k3 | make a program where you load any AJZ file and it will load it to rom |
22:15:21 | midknight2k3 | so you can have new dailybuilds and restore archos and stuff |
22:15:37 | [IDC]Dragon | As I said in the group, that's not so easy because of memory restrictions. |
22:15:45 | midknight2k3 | oh |

22:18:12 | [IDC]Dragon | slow enough, you mean. |
22:18:15 | Stevie[FP] | err |
22:18:20 | Stevie[FP] | something like that |

22:19:06 | Stevie[FP] | in order for it to be ready at a certain time |
22:19:07 | [IDC]Dragon | I need to find out if USB is plugged, and for that some ADC measurements must have happened. They work from a different thread. |

22:20:34 | Stevie[FP] | actually that's not quite accurate |
22:20:35 | [IDC]Dragon | tick |
22:20:43 | Stevie[FP] | if you read the spec sheet |
22:20:54 | Stevie[FP] | when we set it to sample channel 3 |
22:20:59 | Stevie[FP] | the adc actually samples channels 0, 1, 2, and 3 |

22:21:25 | Stevie[FP] | we could actually update those samples about four times as fast as we do now |
22:21:26 | Guest | hi all |
22:21:43 | [IDC]Dragon | No need to worry, I think. |
22:21:47 | Guest | what's new about the flash rom?? |
22:21:48 | Stevie[FP] | but anyway |
22:21:48 | | Join Wurst [0] (~jirc@pD9E55117.dip.t-dialin.net) |
22:21:56 | Wurst | hi all! |
22:22:04 | Stevie[FP] | you said that the drive is ready by the time we check usb |
22:22:05 | Stevie[FP] | right? |
22:22:32 | [IDC]Dragon | I check USB after the ATA init (which waits for the drive). |
22:22:39 | Stevie[FP] | okay |
22:22:57 | [IDC]Dragon | If it's plugged, I don't auto-rolo |
22:23:01 | Stevie[FP] | <[IDC]Dragon> It gived ATA error -1, but gets out of it if USB is plugged and unplugged. |
22:23:05 | Stevie[FP] | what is 'ata error -1'? |
22:23:36 | [IDC]Dragon | look into the code, I didn't yet. |
22:23:43 | Stevie[FP] | ok how about this |
22:23:51 | Stevie[FP] | how do you know you're getting 'ata error -1'? |
22:24:09 | [IDC]Dragon | The box gives a panic srceen |
22:24:36 | Stevie[FP] | if (master_slave_detect()) |
22:24:36 | Stevie[FP] | return -1; |
22:24:58 | Stevie[FP] | the status bit is indicating busy |
22:25:32 | [IDC]Dragon | Yea, I'm browsing through that now, too. |
22:26:02 | Stevie[FP] | i don't see where |
22:26:06 | Stevie[FP] | according to the code i have here |
22:26:11 | [IDC]Dragon | my wait code is in check_registers(), which is the thirs step. |
22:26:12 | Stevie[FP] | usb is checked before ata |
22:26:17 | [IDC]Dragon | third step. |
22:26:26 | Stevie[FP] | now, it may be a little old |
22:26:31 | [IDC]Dragon | I should move that higher up. |
22:26:48 | Stevie[FP] | the code i have right here says |
22:26:49 | Stevie[FP] | adc_init |
22:26:51 | Stevie[FP] | usb_init |
22:26:55 | Stevie[FP] | ata_init |
22:27:07 | Stevie[FP] | actually there's a backlight_init and button_init in there |
22:27:09 | [IDC]Dragon | USB after ata in main::init |
22:27:19 | Stevie[FP] | ok, they must have moved it |
22:27:21 | [IDC]Dragon | not init, using values. |
22:27:41 | Wurst | sorry, is there anybody who knows about a opensource-project for the ajb multimedia? |
22:27:53 | Stevie[FP] | Wurst: not I |
22:27:56 | [IDC]Dragon | The init is before, whis is what I want. So the thread is installed and collects measurements. |
22:31:33 | [IDC]Dragon | Does anybody know the registry keys to disable autoplay per drive? |
22:31:52 | [IDC]Dragon | I'ts just pissing me off. |
22:36:33 | devZer0 | IDC: i`m not sure - but perhaps this helps: http://www.jsiinc.com/subh/tip3700/rh3733.htm |
22:38:19 | [IDC]Dragon | Hmm, I'm also not shure. The Powertoys can do it, but I was trying to avoid installing them just for this detail. |
22:39:04 | devZer0 | google: disable autoplay xp gives lots of hits - but very different ones :) |
22:39:34 | devZer0 | for me, it is "off" - but i don`t remember anymore, how i did disable that :D |
22:40:01 | [IDC]Dragon | I tried google, too, but no success at first glance. |
22:40:49 | | Quit Wurst ("Leaving") |
22:42:20 | devZer0 | idc: don`t badly dissapoint us :) you are the god of rockbox-flashing - so you just should do a quick magic spell to your windoze box to disable autoplay ;) |
22:42:52 | [IDC]Dragon | Thanks for the credits, I'm just too lazy to bother. |
22:43:08 | devZer0 | :) |
22:43:13 | | Quit _aLF ("bye") |
22:43:23 | [IDC]Dragon | I'm working on the plugin that flashes the second image. Almost there. |
22:44:31 | devZer0 | greatest new "feature" in rockbox for long :D |
22:44:39 | devZer0 | but also the most dangerous one :) |
22:44:58 | devZer0 | but nevertheless: COOOOOOL! |
22:45:00 | adi|home | Dragon.. so whats the advantage of having Rockbox in the flash? |
22:45:12 | adi|home | im very ignorant about that... |
22:45:13 | devZer0 | adi: didn`t you see the video? |
22:45:30 | adi|home | nope... |
22:45:44 | adi|home | give me a url agaikn.. and ill spend the next 6 hrs downloaidng it :) |
22:45:45 | devZer0 | 3 seconds too boot and resume playing music... |
22:46:10 | adi|home | what is being overwritten in the flash? |
22:46:30 | devZer0 | http://joerg.hohensohn.bei.t-online.de/archos/rockbox_flash_boot.avi |
22:46:39 | devZer0 | divx , 1.5mb |
22:46:54 | devZer0 | the original firmware :) |
22:47:21 | ironi | fast |
22:47:36 | ironi | very nice |
22:51:27 | [IDC]Dragon | adi: everything's overwritten in the flash ;-) |

22:55:47 | devZer0 | idc: will you make a "dump" option for backup of the original firmware (and possible later restore) |
22:56:14 | [IDC]Dragon | There is already, look at the first entry of the debug menu. |
22:56:30 | [IDC]Dragon | Linus made that for me when I started. |
22:57:05 | Stevie[FP] | yeah |
22:57:29 | devZer0 | is it in the latest build? |
22:57:40 | [IDC]Dragon | That's how it all began, me disassembling the boot ROM. |
22:58:28 | devZer0 | ok -will take a look |
23:00 |
23:02:20 | Stevie[FP] | I doubt having an emulator hurt much |
23:02:21 | Stevie[FP] | ;) |
23:03:02 | [IDC]Dragon | Yes, your LCD findings were also very helpful. |
23:03:11 | Stevie[FP] | ty :D |
23:03:11 | [IDC]Dragon | How is the project going? |
23:03:14 | devZer0 | whooha. coool. somebody interested in some other useful stuff? sorry to be "off topic" - but perhaps someone is interested in a cool way to tunnel a samba share via ssh and mount that on a windows box. i can mount my vserver on the internet now as a "network drive" :) |
23:03:15 | Stevie[FP] | ehh |
23:03:20 | Stevie[FP] | I'm in a fight with Windows |
23:03:25 | Stevie[FP] | I'm trying to emulate a serial port |
23:03:41 | Stevie[FP] | I *almost* have one there |
23:04:07 | [IDC]Dragon | hoe is it emulated? what's on the other end? |
23:04:22 | devZer0 | thats what i asked myself , too :) |
23:04:22 | [IDC]Dragon | how |
23:04:41 | [IDC]Dragon | and what did you answer yourself? |
23:05:09 | devZer0 | it`s still a question :D |
23:05:26 | devZer0 | cut of the "ed" from the asked :D |
23:05:34 | [IDC]Dragon | Do you want to connect it to the PC UART? |
23:05:56 | [IDC]Dragon | then you can connect to yourself using the othe COM port ;-) |
23:06:12 | [IDC]Dragon | (today is typo day) |
23:06:53 | devZer0 | there is already a usenet typo king on the list... |
23:07:00 | devZer0 | what about an irc typo king? |

23:08:29 | devZer0 | ahhh - someone i can ask if i need a regex :D |
23:08:41 | MT | regex i can do :) |
23:09:27 | MT | is the loaded module unable to access 'stuff' in the main rockbox firmware? |
23:09:48 | MT | can it _only_ do things prescribed in the plugin api? |
23:11:05 | devZer0 | mhh - don`t know for shure - but i think so |
23:24:32 | | Join Morel_ [0] (~chatzilla@dsl-200-78-36-232.prodigy.net.mx) |
23:26:32 | hardeep | MT: yes, only what's in the plugin api is available to plugins |
23:27:53 | hardeep | MT: ie. you cannot access the global_settings structure |
23:28:00 | hardeep | directly |
23:28:19 | MT | well, how CAN i access it? |
23:28:48 | MT | and the other stuff, like the menu functions? |
23:29:05 | MT | the plugin idea is good, but it shouldnt restrict what we can already do |
23:29:18 | Stevie[FP] | the problem is doing it right |
23:29:23 | | Quit Morel_ ("ChatZilla 0.8.31 [Mozilla rv:1.4/20030624]") |
23:29:49 | Stevie[FP] | plugins should store their configurations in some sort of dotfile under /.rockbox |
23:30:14 | MT | sure |
23:30:17 | MT | mine already does |
23:30:22 | MT | but it draws menus |
23:30:34 | MT | and it draws them in a style that reflects the users preferences |
23:33:15 | Stevie[FP] | okay |
23:33:27 | Stevie[FP] | i can understand that |
23:33:32 | Stevie[FP] | we need a more solid API |
23:33:58 | MT | also, i found myself having to add really basic functions to the api |
23:34:11 | Stevie[FP] | makes sense |
23:34:23 | MT | like lcd_setmargins |
23:34:31 | hardeep | MT: as Zagor mentioned in his e-mail, he only added functions that were being used by the current set of plugins |
23:34:44 | hardeep | MT: the design is intended so that new apis can be added easily, if needed |
23:34:55 | Stevie[FP] | Rockbox is great, but it suffers from the 'progressive development' syndrome |
23:35:15 | Stevie[FP] | early on, a certain task had to be performed once |
23:35:32 | Stevie[FP] | so the code was put wholesale into the function that needed to perform that task |
23:35:51 | Stevie[FP] | then later on, some other function needed to do the same thing |
23:35:57 | MT | hardeep: thats not_strictly_ true, wormlet did use lcd_setmargins, but in the new pluginform, it wasnt |
23:36:14 | hardeep | MT: in that case, Zagor must have had a reason to remove it |
23:36:32 | Stevie[FP] | rather than split out the task into a function that can be called from either, they just did a copy-and-paste |
23:37:10 | MT | the reason is that the only time it is sensible to setmargins is when you have checked to see whether the user has requested a statusbar or not |
23:37:21 | MT | the only way to see that is to examine global_settings |
23:37:31 | MT | and the API doesnt (yet) provide that |
23:39:07 | ironi | tracktheripper see,s to be interested in my palyer |
23:39:10 | ironi | seems |
23:39:17 | ironi | i missed him again |
23:39:22 | ironi | maybe he wants to buy it |
23:39:48 | ironi | =) |
23:39:54 | MT | im just reading the man page for dlopen |
23:40:23 | Stevie[FP] | MT: I would suggest tthis |
23:40:24 | MT | im assuming there is some reason why we cannot link rockbox with -rdynamic ? |
23:40:24 | Stevie[FP] | this |
23:40:58 | Stevie[FP] | ... lots of technical reasons |
23:41:07 | Stevie[FP] | i would suggest this |
23:41:07 | MT | (im really quite out of my league with loadable modules and whatnot, sorry if im asking stupid questions) |
23:41:31 | Stevie[FP] | lcd_setmargins() is used to account for status bar and cursor type, right? |
23:41:53 | MT | yes |
23:42:04 | Stevie[FP] | thus it would make more sense if instead we had some version of lcd_setmargins() that would automatically account for those settings |
23:42:17 | Stevie[FP] | and then simply return the maximum width/height |
23:42:35 | MT | that would make more sense |
23:42:46 | Stevie[FP] | then you wouldn't need to worry about font height, or the global settings |
23:42:53 | Stevie[FP] | other than maybe the cursor type |
