#rockbox log for 2005-01-19

00:00:27amiconnThis produces a looong list of output that looks like mentioning every file in the repo
00:00:32Bagderyes
00:00:36Bagderits horrible
00:01:00Bagderthe diff was easier to read
00:02:32amiconn[IDC]Dragon: The only differences between 2.4 and the build I put in my old player flash package are irrelevant for players, so I can use 2.4
00:03:29[IDC]Dragonah, ok, and what was your concern?
00:04:10amiconnMaybe something had changed which was important to make it work. Fortunately not.

00:05:36amiconn2.4 looks like it was built 2004-12-21. At least the file date says so.
00:06:08Zagoryes it was
00:07:11[IDC]Dragonamiconn: will you send me that dump?

00:07:25 Join jyp [0] (~jp@225.3-136-217.adsl.skynet.be)
00:07:47amiconnYes of course. I just wanted to build the _norom firmware first, to include that.
00:08:05[IDC]Dragonah, ok
00:08:20quelsarukamiconn: i forgot to use spanish voice.. so i have a strange spanish with english accent
00:08:21quelsaruk:D
00:08:39quelsaruki'll try to repair that right now
00:09:47amiconnFirmwares rebuilt (both ordinary and _norom), going to flash ordinary version for a test...
00:09:51***Saving seen data "./dancer.seen"
00:11:40amiconn..works :)
00:12:07[IDC]Dragonyou've put my "platform ID" in your template, right?
00:12:30amiconnYes. platform_id == 2, bootloader_version == 1
00:14:46[IDC]Dragonthe _norom doesn't need a "real" template
00:14:56[IDC]Dragonnothing in there anyway
00:15:35[IDC]Dragonbut I kept the little content, just to play safe
00:16:19amiconnMail sent.
00:17:10[IDC]Dragongot it, thanks
00:18:31jypI'm editing http://www.rockbox.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/CrossCompiler with instructions for calmrisc
00:18:39Bagderneato
00:19:41amiconn[IDC]Dragon: I have a fresh player flash package here. I'd prefer to distribute this one, because it also contains 2.4 instead of cvs in the ordinary firmware.
00:20:20amiconnI also rebuilt the bootloader (newer gcc) for the ordinary variant
00:21:08Zagorbed time. see you all tomorrow.
00:21:12 Quit Zagor ("Client exiting")
00:23:10[IDC]Dragonamiconn: we can do that together with _norom then
00:23:40[IDC]Dragonor what do you mean?
00:23:41amiconnYEs, that's what I meant. The zip already contains both.
00:24:19[IDC]DragonI'm trying to do my own right now, to countercheck
00:26:17amiconnThe bootloader will only be identical when you use the same gcc version as me (3.3.5)
00:27:14amiconnBtw: The make_firmware help says that one has to use a scrambled bootloader. This is not true for _norom...
00:27:39[IDC]Dragonoutdated, yes
00:32:41quelsarukamiconn: how can i find out the L&H TTS3000 spanish voice name?
00:33:24amiconnYou really want to use a TTS3000 voice? I tried a German TTS3000 voice, it sounds awful...
00:33:43quelsaruki can't find another spanish sapi file
00:33:47quelsaruk:/
00:33:52quelsarukseems that AT&T has one
00:33:54quelsarukbut..
00:33:54amiconnThe TTS3000 voices seem to have simple names, the German one is called "Anna"
00:34:04quelsarukdon't know how to download it
00:34:16quelsarukwhere did you find your german voice?
00:34:53[IDC]Dragonamiconn: have you used rombox for these?
00:35:02amiconnyup.
00:36:13amiconnquelsaruk: Which german voice do you mean? If you mean the AT&T voices I am using for the voice files: I bought them.
00:36:25quelsarukoh
00:36:32quelsarukbought them...
00:36:33quelsarukhmmm
00:36:45quelsarukwhat an interesting point of view
00:36:46quelsaruk:D
00:36:58amiconnUnfortunately AT&T doesn't have european spansih, only latin american spanish.
00:37:03*jyp thinks... you should have sampled some Rammstein
00:37:14 Quit midk ("Leaving")
00:37:27quelsarukthen, i don't want to use those AT&T voices :/
00:41:03quelsarukno
00:41:21quelsaruki don't like "Rosa", the latin american voice
00:41:37quelsaruk(AT&T voice)
00:42:35quelsarukanyway amiconn, where was that TTS3000 voice? to find out her name
00:43:15amiconnScanSoft Realspeak is interesting: http://www.scansoft.com/realspeak/ . Many languages...
00:46:08amiconnquelsaruk: Did you already install it?
00:46:13quelsarukyes
00:47:56quelsarukscansoft voice was nice.. portuguese is even better than spanish (i could understand it better)
00:50:21amiconnI put together a little VBScript that lists all installed SAPI5 voices
00:53:30quelsaruk¿?
00:56:15amiconnLook at http://www.rockbox.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/VoiceBuilding#Tools
00:56:53quelsarukoh
00:57:03quelsaruki didn't notice that
00:57:04quelsaruk:(
00:57:05quelsaruksorry
00:57:57amiconnI just added it. No worry :)
00:58:14quelsarukgreat... this says i only have those 3 english voices
00:58:24quelsarukmaybe what i have are sapi4 spanish voices
00:58:31amiconnArgl.... TTS3000 is SAPI4 :(
00:58:40 Quit edx ()
00:58:43[IDC]Dragonamiconn: my _norom build is identical
00:58:45amiconnThen building the voice will take a while
00:59:01quelsaruki'm trying to get a sapi5 voice
00:59:03quelsarukbut...
00:59:11amiconn[IDC]Dragon: Already tried with your simulator?
00:59:15quelsaruki don't know if i'll be able to
00:59:21[IDC]Dragonno, not today any more
00:59:53[IDC]Dragontook me a while to compile on the notebook, never used the dev environment there yet
01:00
01:02:47amiconnquelsaruk: I have similar code for listing SAPI4 voices. There'll soon be another script :)
01:02:57quelsarukhahahaha
01:03:02quelsarukperfect
01:07:19amiconnNow look again at http://www.rockbox.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/VoiceBuilding#Tools
01:08:06amiconnThe SAPI4 voices are a bit cumbersome.
01:08:31[IDC]Dragongoodnight!
01:08:38 Quit [IDC]Dragon ()
01:08:55amiconnThere are 2 name-like fields, "ModeName" and "Speaker". For most voices, only one of the fields is really descriptive, the other contains a generic name.
01:09:36quelsarukamiconn: error
01:09:38amiconnJust use the name that is more descriptive
01:09:41quelsaruk:/
01:09:58amiconn?? What error?
01:11:46quelsarukline 2, char 1 −−-> error (i don't know how to translate this... but says something about ActiveVoice.activeVoice.. something like can't locate or something like that :/
01:12:41amiconnAh. I have an idea what might be going on...
01:14:59amiconnTry the updated version.
01:15:29amiconnIf this also doesn't work, it is likely that voice file generation won't work either.
01:15:51amiconnIf this is the case, you'll probably need to install the SAPI4 SDK.
01:16:01quelsaruknow it's line 8, char 5.. cant find again the activevoice.activevoice.1
01:16:03quelsaruk:)
01:16:43amiconnThat means you don't have either ActiveX control that is needed for SAPI4 scripting.
01:16:53quelsarukstrange
01:17:09quelsarukas i have installed this
01:17:10quelsarukbut..
01:17:14quelsarukif it says so..
01:17:14quelsaruk:D
01:17:20quelsarukanyway
01:17:22quelsarukis quite late
01:17:30quelsarukmaybe tomorrow i can think a bit better
01:17:32amiconnYou have the SAPI *4* sdk installed?
01:17:32quelsarukcu
01:17:35quelsarukand thanks
01:17:48amiconnAnyway, nite!
01:18:02quelsarukamiconn: i thinki installed when i made the "folder and file" voice
01:18:38amiconnYou can't have used the TTS voice for files & folders.
01:18:58amiconnThe files & folders voice script doesn't support SAPI4, it uses SAPI5 *
01:19:02amiconn*only*
01:19:46amiconnThe SAPI5 SDK doesn't include SAPI4 support; SAPI4 and SAPI5 are entirely different.
01:21:44quelsarukyes, but i installed a lot of things
01:21:45quelsaruk:D
01:22:02quelsaruki installed TT
01:22:10quelsarukTTS3000 then
01:22:36quelsarukand i think i installed or at least tried to install SAPI4
01:22:38quelsaruk:/
01:22:40quelsarukcan't remember
01:22:42amiconnYes. However, it looks like TTS3000 doesn't include the necessary ActiveX controls.
01:22:48quelsarukpossibly
01:22:50quelsaruk:)
01:23:22amiconnSAPI4 SDK is huge (but not as huge as SAPI5 SDK) - about 40 MB. And it is rather hard to find nowadays....
01:23:47amiconnThere is also a runtime distribution, which is small, but maybe not sufficient.
01:23:59quelsarukanyway
01:24:12quelsaruki'll try to get a sapi5 voice
01:24:22quelsaruki really like loquendo spanish voices

11:11:36Bagdercan that be the reason?

11:29:00[IDC]Dragonamiconn: r u there?
11:29:03Bagdermicrosoft doesn't use sourcesafe
11:29:21Bagderit isn't safe
11:29:28Bagderand that's not a joke
11:30:10[IDC]Dragonat least it behaves better than ClearCase here
11:30:30Bagderpossibly
11:30:31Zagorlunch
11:30:47[IDC]Dragonbut it's only suitable for local projects
11:30:55Bagderbut if you google for 5 mins, you'll find hundreds of shocking stories about sourcesafe
11:31:11Bagderplus the fact that MS themselves don't use it
11:31:33[IDC]Dragonthey perhaps don't use it because it's not powerful enough
11:31:45LinusNlike clearcase
11:31:54Bagderit is a wellknown fact that sourcesafe repositories break every now and then
11:31:54[IDC]Dragonno sophisticated branching, multisite, etc.
11:32:23quelsarukBagder: uplang should not have a line like >> print "voice: ".$all{$id, 'voice'}."\n"; in the *output new phares not translated* ???
11:32:36[IDC]Dragonyou have to sortof "checkdisk" them
11:32:43amiconn[IDC]Dragon: I am here (sort of)
11:32:44BagderMS use some perforce
11:32:54Bagderdeveloped for them
11:33:02[IDC]Dragonamiconn: I traced the player image, seems OK
11:33:24Bagderquelsaruk: why not?

11:33:48Bagderaha
11:33:50quelsarukright now, that doesn't exist
11:34:02Bagderif that fixes a problem, go ahead
11:34:12[IDC]Dragonamiconn: I've checked it both decompressing image 1 and going there, plus executing image 2 (rombox)
11:34:45amiconn[IDC]Dragon: So I'll put up the zip to my webspace now.
11:35:01[IDC]DragonI'm fine with it, yes
11:35:37[IDC]Dragonbut still, ask somebody if he wants to volunteer and tell results asap
11:37:18[IDC]DragonLinusN probably didn't mod his player yet?
11:38:11LinusNi did the uart mod last night, but then my kids woke up... :-(
11:39:00quelsarukand Bagder, there's a problem with uplang checking voice lines :/ it changes all voices to default (english)
11:39:18Bagderthat's bad
11:40:15[IDC]Dragonmust be a noisy uart mod... ;-)
11:41:56LinusNlol
11:42:20[IDC]Dragondid you exchange the chip?
11:42:45LinusNno, i want to make sure theu boot mod works before i do that
11:42:57[IDC]Dragonyes, fair
11:45:27*LinusN has a nice soldering tip that heats an entire row of pins at once
11:45:38LinusNsoldering the flash is a breeze
11:45:55[IDC]DragonI have such a tip as well
11:46:14[IDC]Dragontwo, in fact, it's a tweezer
11:46:26[IDC]Dragonwell, my company has it

11:46:55amiconn[IDC]Dragon: Flash package updated in webspace.
11:47:10[IDC]DragonI'll update mine, too
11:47:31[IDC]Dragonprobably the other .bin is identical, too
11:48:52[IDC]DragonLinusN: a breeze? last time you had a short or so
11:50:05LinusNyes, it is not that well suited for soldering, mainly unsoldering
11:50:13dwihnotweezer?
11:50:23dwihnopincett?
11:50:24LinusNpincett på svenska
11:50:29dwihnoah, ok
11:50:36quelsarukBagder: don't you think that uplang should only update the voice line when changes from "" to "some text here"? So it doesn't change translated voice lines...
11:50:39LinusN(eller snarare franska)
11:50:40dwihnomy engrish not guud

11:51:00LinusNlunch time
11:51:14Bagderquelsaruk: uplang is probably lacking in the voice department in general
11:51:18Bagdersince it was added later on
11:51:24quelsarukyes
11:51:26quelsaruk:)
11:53:12amiconnI think uplang should replace the voice: entry with english only if the eng: entry changed.
11:53:28quelsarukmaybe
11:53:29quelsaruk:)
11:53:31[IDC]Dragonthere are some caveats with the voice entries
11:53:58[IDC]Dragonto properly deal with only the truly spoken entries, and voice-only entries

13:45:15[IDC]Dragonit is
13:45:21Zagoroh. where do I look?
13:45:24[IDC]Dragonsince quite a while
13:45:41[IDC]Dragonin dir.c, opendir() or so
13:46:02[IDC]Dragonwhat do you want to "virtualize"?
13:46:08Zagorah, naturally. well then can't do it the same way
13:46:39Zagori need to create a top folder containing folders "Artists", "Albums", "Songs" etc
13:46:55Zagoras per the tree in wiki:TagDatabase
13:46:58[IDC]Dragonjust for the tree browser, I guess
13:47:04Zagoryes
13:47:18[IDC]Dragonok, mine is lower
13:47:40[IDC]Dragonbut only very little code
13:48:25[IDC]Dragonin opendir() and readdir()
13:48:31Zagoryeah I see it

14:00:22[IDC]DragonZagor: Jens raised the issue on how somebody could create a db for the multivolumed Ondio
14:00:54[IDC]Dragonnot that would be very large...
14:01:06[IDC]Dragon... on a flash player
14:02:19[IDC]Dragonit would require 2 script runs into a joined db
14:02:47[IDC]Dragonwith the entries of the 2nd prefixed "/<MMC1>/"
14:08:28amiconnI'm thinking of writing a createdb plugin anyway. This shouldn't run very long on the Ondio...

14:12:43[IDC]Dragonamiconn: true
14:13:24[IDC]DragonI still walk around with the idea of using the true volume name of the partition
14:14:01[IDC]Dragonin sharp brackets, instead of <MMC1>
14:14:32[IDC]Dragonwith hotswat, a db could even spawn multiple cards
14:14:50[IDC]Dragonhotwap, hehe, not hotsweat
14:15:37[IDC]Dragonyou could be queried to insert card <XYZ> to carry on ;-)
14:17:50amiconnA dbmerge shouldn't be too difficult to write.
14:20:27[IDC]Dragonsomething like joining the content, taking the max. field size of both, re-sorting the tables
14:22:18ZagorLynx_: the / path wasn't the problem. the problem was the script tried to open doubleslashed paths sometimes
14:22:20amiconnyup. Not too different from db creation
14:22:33Zagordbmerge should be fairly easy, yes
14:23:24Zagori also plan to write an −−addnew option to songdb.pl, which only scans for added/removed files
14:24:23Lynx_Zagor: ah, my mistake then...
14:24:58Lynx_Zagor: won't scanning for added/removed files take as long as rebuilding the db?
14:25:20Zagorno, since we don't need to open and read all existing files.
14:25:37Zagorwe only read the dir and check that they exist in the database
14:25:44Lynx_Zagor: Ah, of course, forgot the id3 thing ;)
14:25:44[IDC]Dragonwhy not use −−addnew all the time then?

14:26:31Lynx_or does it check for file sizes?
14:26:51Lynx_if changing the tag alters the mp3 file size in the first place
14:27:06Zagornot necessarily

14:28:38preglowyes, i saw some post linus made on misticriver mentioning that
14:28:55preglowi like the coldfire, heh
14:29:18dwihnoSeems like the H10 is going to have countless limits
14:29:36dwihnoOnly ipod-like people will buy it (that is, only people with design in mind)
14:29:56preglowthe windows only limitation is more than enough to make me never look at it
14:30:05preglowseems i got one of irivers last good players with the h120
14:30:19Zagordwihno: i think rather people that don't research before they buy will buy it. sadly, there are many such people.
14:30:23Lynx_Zagor: there is no support for more than one db file, is there? short of renaming them, i mean.
14:30:29ZagorLynx_: no
14:30:53dwihnoZagor: considering the price, people should read up the subject before purchasing

14:36:53preglowi bought the h120 because it had vorbis support and gapless playback was to be added in a future firmware. i didn't know better than to trust them at the time.
14:40:40amiconnZagor: If the filedate would be stored in the db, a tag-only change could be detected as well without opening the file

15:39:41LinusNif the debug menu shows a checksum, then you should use the regular one
15:40:02LinusNif it doesn't show a checksum, you should use the _norom
15:40:23webguest97what point is it in the debug menu?
15:40:34LinusNview hw info iirc
15:41:25LinusNjust copy both .bin files to your archos, the firmware flash plugin will select the appropriate one
15:41:26webguest97and where is now the checksum?
15:41:36webguest97have both there
15:41:48webguest97but the firmware programm cant flash it

17:24:34amiconnHowever, I once tried installing Windows services for unix. Horrible...
17:24:46ripnetukhehe never tried that

19:42:35Quel|awayamiconn:
19:42:39Quel|awaynow i know what happened
19:42:47amiconnyes?
19:43:07Quel|awaythis new xorg-x11 is really strange
19:43:33amiconnI think it's rather clever, as it integrates X11 into the Windows desktop
19:43:52Quel|awayyou have to run X and then i have to go to Start menu and run there xterm
19:44:05Quel|awaymaybe clever
19:44:13Quel|awaybut i'm not used to this
19:44:31amiconnMostly I use it for running the X11 sim, by typing "startx ./rockboxui.exe"
19:44:59Quel|away:)
19:45:11Quel|awayi'll try to learn how to use this..
19:46:18amiconnThe old xfree86 X11 was imho (1) a bit cumbersome, to simulate another desktop within a window.
19:46:45amiconn(2) Running X applications was also sometimes unstable.
19:47:43Quel|awayi don't say it was better, but i was used to that "virtual desktop" in a window
19:47:44amiconnpfaedit crashed numerous times back then. With Xorg-X11 it runs stable (same binary)(

23:41:14[IDC]Dragonhi there
23:41:31amiconn[IDC]Dragon: Did you update the player flash package on your webspace?
23:41:42[IDC]Dragoni see you already did the language mod
23:41:50[IDC]Dragonflash: yes
23:42:23amiconn(language mod) Actually this was fairly simple (apart from the perl part)
23:42:38[IDC]Dragonyes, I was surprized
23:42:45[IDC]Dragonsounded like more
23:43:21amiconnWell, simply walk the string...
23:44:19amiconnBtw, there are some more standard library functions that could profit from asm optimisation: strlen, strchr, ...
23:44:32[IDC]Dragon:-)
23:45:58amiconnI'm currently building voice files. Unfortunately we do have to split the voice file downloads; one set for release 2.4 and one set for current cvs.
23:46:59[IDC]Dragonbecause of deprecated strings
23:47:25amiconnyup.
23:51:00amiconnCrystal is now a bit larger than 1.5 MB. I wonder if I should go down to 12 kHz...
