#rockbox log for 2005-06-27

00:00:45Bagdert0mas: http://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/openneo-cvs
00:00:48CassandraHmm. Do you think we should have a "design an iRiver default WPS" contest?
00:01:04t0masah, that's not fair to do in vacation time...
00:01:10t0masand not without conditional images
00:01:11rasherHrm, I'd put it off a bit
00:01:18t0masindeed
00:01:21Cassandra*nods*
00:01:28t0maswait a little more... we can't do an iriver release anyway
00:01:30rashera case-like construct would be nice to have as well
00:01:57t0masor atleast a simple if()
00:02:10rashercase shouldn't be much harder?
00:02:23Coldtoastbed
00:02:25Bagdernope
00:02:27rasher%_fc<FLAC:something|MP3:somethingelse|default>
00:02:30 Quit Coldtoast ("Peace and Protection 4.22")
00:02:43rasheror something like that
00:02:53t0masyes
00:03:02t0masthat, and conditional images
00:03:05kenshinrasher: i'm starting in on trying to do exactly that (long way to go, though)
00:03:07t0masand maybe dynamic images...
00:03:17CassandraI love the WPS language. All the readability of ADA with non of the functionality. *grins*
00:03:21rasherkenshin: excellent
00:03:30Bagderhehehe
00:03:42rasherI don't believe I've ever seen ada
00:03:52CassandraHave you seen line noise?
00:03:58CassandraIt looks quite a lot like that.
00:04:10amiconnSlasheri: Shouldn't dsp code provide peakmeter data?
00:04:12Bagderyou mean like sendmail config? ;-)
00:04:20preglowamiconn: 'course it should
00:04:27preglowamiconn: rome wasn't built in one day, etc
00:04:44kenshinBadger: like Apache's mod_rewrite voodoo.
00:05:11t0maskenshin: Apache's mod_rewrite is read- and usable...
00:05:11preglowwhat, regex is pretty
00:05:15t0masindeed
00:05:29kenshinyeah, once you know how it works
00:05:31tucozrasher:http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Programming:Ada:Basic
00:06:23preglowsomeone embed perl in rockbox!
00:06:24Cassandrabadger: I was just thinking that.
00:06:27t0maswtf...
00:06:27t0masResponse: 550 5.7.1 Rejected: 66.35.250.200 listed at spamcop.net
00:06:35t0masName: sc8-sf-fw1.sourceforge.net
00:06:35t0masAddress: 66.35.250.200
00:06:39rashertucoz: doesn't seem too bad
00:06:40t0masthat's sourceforge...
00:06:52tucozno, not hello world at least :)
00:07:11rasherwell, I meant the language constructs
00:07:19rashera bit verbose perhaps..
00:07:27amiconnLinusN: Were you able to test the modified MFDR(2) values (i2c clock)?
00:08:31tucozit definitely looks nicer than ml
00:08:55rasherML is cute.. in a twisted horrible sort of way
00:09:02rasherNow, prolog..
00:09:02 Quit TBoy ("CGI:IRC")
00:09:18 Quit TCK- (Read error: 60 (Operation timed out))
00:11:28kenshinoooh. embed elisp instead of perl? ;)
00:11:40tucozI had a course in those lauguages, and found prolog nicer than ML. But, they do have their different uses I guess.
00:12:04Cassandralisp'd actually be a good choice.
00:12:14CassandraLightweight and good for string handling.
00:12:15Bagdertucoz: and all of them only in weird academic contexts ;-)
00:12:16 Quit Sucka` ("a bird in the bush is worth two in your house")
00:12:19kenshini had to write a scheme interpreter in univ.
00:12:30preglowban lisp!!!!
00:12:45CassandraOr forth, maybe.
00:12:52kenshinvive lisp!!!
00:12:57CassandraBut not Fortran. Ever under any circumstances.
00:13:03tucozBagder: true, I will never use either again
00:13:15t0maswhy not BF?
00:13:18rasherI'm told ML makes for nice compilers
00:13:25kenshinooh. Fortran brings up bad memories...
00:13:32t0masI wrote an interpretter in C long ago
00:13:37tucozrasher: for type-checks?
00:14:03t0masstill... brainfuck is the funniest language I know
00:14:08rashertucoz: yes
00:14:21t0mashttp://www.muppetlabs.com/~breadbox/bf/
00:14:25Cassandrafunnier than Intercal?
00:14:41preglowhahaha
00:14:45rasherI'd say whitespace has them both beat
00:14:46preglowi wrote a bf interpreter once
00:14:50BagderI
00:14:54preglowyou
00:14:54Bagderoops
00:15:00tucozBut, the type checking algorithm that ML uses is probably used in other compilers
00:15:41rasherSure, but you don't have to worry about it yourself
00:16:14preglowhttp://treskal.com/kalle/spl/ <- language for heros
00:16:22tucozguess nto
00:16:27t0maspreglow: it's easy to write 1
00:16:27tucoznot
00:16:34t0masI even wrote a debugging tool for BF programs
00:16:38rasherAnyway, I'm not going to touch ml if I can help it
00:16:51t0mashttp://tomas.salfischberger.nl/bfdebug
00:16:54t0masthat one is just to funny
00:16:57CassandraML is only for nerdy compscis. :)
00:17:08t0masdebugging brainfuck with an ncurses tool :P
00:17:22kenshinCassandra: thanks for that vote of confidence!
00:17:32CassandraYou're welcome.
00:18:54tucozis the iriver build shaky at the moment?
00:19:16BagderI would say so, yes
00:19:18crwlhm, i seem to have a bunch of mp3's that crash the current build
00:19:26crwlabout a day or two ago they just didn't play
00:19:55rashernot crashing here..
00:20:05preglowi had an mp3 hanging me on play
00:20:16preglowand 48khz oggs will hang your player given time
00:20:25tucozBagder: in fuopl mode. i.e. frequent use of paperclip
00:20:33preglowit's just seen a big audio engine update, it's not surprisinmg
00:20:37tucozfuopc
00:20:51Bagderfuopc here indeed
00:20:55tucozhehe
00:21:04*Bagder fuopcs tonight ;-)
00:21:08Bagdergood word
00:21:14Bagderhard to pronounciate
00:21:22preglowi can pronounce it just fine
00:21:39tucozfju-pik
00:21:48tucozmaybe
00:22:44crwlhm, these files that crash my iriver seem to be normal VBR MP3's
00:22:53crwlthey're encoded with some lame 4.0 alpha though, it seems
00:22:54Bagderyes, mine are too
00:23:04Bagderno lame alpha though
00:23:17crwlbut others i tested work fine
00:23:19Bagderplain 3.9X series
00:23:25rasherAnything wrong with https://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1163135&group_id=44306&atid=439120 ?
00:23:58Bagderrasher: sounds like a good thing to me
00:24:11crwlw0w, now i got WPS data before it crashed
00:24:30Bagdermy crashes don't repeat on the same file when played again
00:24:41*Cassandra isn't getting crashes often.
00:24:50rasherBagder: same here.. patch looks correct too
00:25:06rasherand the fact that the id3v1 code does this already just adds to this
00:25:16*rasher hasn't had a crash in 30 minutes
00:25:17crwli haven't been getting crashes either (and these don't give illinstr, it just freezes), but these files didn't work earlier either
00:25:28crwleven though they seem to work fine in other players, including iriver original firmware
00:25:44preglowi don't get illinstr
00:25:46preglowi get i00
00:25:50BagderI get I00 too
00:25:50preglowunless that _is_ illinstr
00:25:50preglow:-)
00:25:58tucozMine crashed today when I was out running. Good thing I remembered a paperclip
00:26:12CassandraIn fact, I'm feeling as though I'm getting better bass from the new code. That can't be right can it?
00:26:20BagderI00 is _not_ illinstr
00:26:26preglowa rockbox user soon learns to be crafty when it comes to reset his h1x0
00:26:33preglowBagder: what is it?
00:26:33tucozhaha
00:26:38crwlwell, it just freezes here
00:26:46preglowso far i've used a piece of wood and a small brancjh
00:26:47rasherI ended up taking apart a keyring one day
00:26:47Bagderpreglow: I don't know, it has no name in the code for a reason I guess
00:26:49preglowbranch
00:27:13rasherbut now I have a paperclip in my keyring
00:27:21Bagderhehe
00:27:25Bagderwise move
00:27:28kenshini slid a paperclip into the belt loop on my 120's case. the loop's purpose finally revealed itself to me! :)
00:27:36tucozI just put a paperclip in the case
00:27:39Bagderyou don't wanna get caught stranded without a paperclip
00:28:13tucozThat was after it crashed on the bus.
00:28:22preglowunless you happen to be a crafty man of the woods, like me!
00:28:30Bagderhahah
00:28:36Bagdera buscrash!
00:28:41preglowoh, i've also reset it with a piece of chocolate wrapper
00:28:50preglowahaha
00:28:52rasherI used some tinfoil
00:28:53preglowand a shop receipt
00:29:01kenshinpencil tip
00:29:02preglowthe memories
00:29:06tucozyep, and no paperclip in sight. Once I uced a piece of a match
00:29:15CassandraThe best thing I have is a pushpin.
00:29:22CassandraI should put one in my purse.
00:29:52rasherI've been using one of those nails-with-plastic-attachment to fasten cables with
00:29:56rasherit has just the right size
00:30:22tucozpreglow, how the hell did you manage to get a paper for that use?
00:30:46crwleven mpg123 plays those crashing files fine without complaining anything
00:31:17Bagder"even"
00:31:34rasherarghdsklfjal
00:31:35Bagderthey've had years to mature
00:31:46tucozI tried on my bustrip. Didn't get it to work. Lecture notes, different types of papers. No use.
00:31:48preglowtucoz: like i said, i'm a crafty man of the woods, i'm used to surviving on gravel and pine needles, shaping paper into a resetting device posed no problem ;)
00:31:55crwlbadger, but mpg123 complains often if there's something wrong :)
00:31:56tucozhaha
00:32:06crwlit plays, though, but complains
00:32:15Bagdercrwl: right, but I'm quite sure these are problems in Rockbox and not with the files
00:32:23Cassandracrwl: The current code has bugs. This is the meaning of "alpha"
00:32:40*t0mas has found 4 iriver reset tools in different sizes :)
00:32:55*rasher tires out the "removing traling spaces" patch
00:32:59Bagdercrwl: do you get an error repeatably on certain files?
00:33:02tucoza pine needle might work. If you're gentle.
00:33:11crwlBagder, yes, i'm just interested why these particular files don't play, but others that seem quite alike, do
00:33:32t0masok, time to leave :)
00:33:36t0masc ya all in a week
00:33:37BagderI'm interested in getting a copy of a troublesome file, for my collection
00:33:37crwli've already played hundreds of mp3's with rockbox on iriver, but these don't seem to work :)
00:33:46amiconnrasher: What does that patch do?
00:33:52 Quit t0mas ("bye!")
00:33:54 Quit thegeek (Read error: 104 (Connection reset by peer))

00:34:04amiconnAh, that one
00:34:07crwlBagder, yep, all songs in this album (which i 'acquired' from the 'net) seem to cause an instant crash
00:34:17rashervery small patch
00:34:27rasher(fortunately - had to apply it by hand)
00:34:43amiconnI noticed that some settings string have trailing spaces, supposedly to make sure that no remnant of another string are left behind
00:35:06amiconnHowever, that's not necessary, since lcd_puts() clears the rest of the line
00:35:46amiconn*settings strings; remnants
00:36:55Moosrasher: hehe and what's about the patch of this morning (about editing id3 tag)?
00:36:57amiconnOne day I'll clean that up, if I'm bored...
00:37:33rasheroh and checking for new rockbox in the usb-disconnect handler - please!
00:37:52rasherI more often than not find myself forgetting to rolo because I'm in some subdir
00:38:01amiconnI looked into this - it's not as simple as I though

00:39:46rasherOkay, patch worked (unsurprisingly).. want me to commit it?
00:40:27Bagdersure
00:40:53amiconnLinusN ?
00:40:55LinusNamiconn: no, i haven't had time to measure the i2c
00:41:01amiconnok
00:41:13LinusNgoing away again tomorrow
00:41:31amiconnI know, that's why I asked
00:41:52LinusNcame home from the island last night at 2am
00:42:15LinusNand the elevator was broken (my wife is in a wheelchair)
00:43:04LinusNbut they sent a repairman promptly, took 20 minutes, phew
00:43:09Bagderhttp://daniel.haxx.se/rockbox/probbs/ <= now with crwl's problem as well
00:43:46LinusNBagder: a description of the problem with each file would be nice
00:44:18Bagderyes, I'll start to name them after who sent them and what the problem is
00:45:54Moosrasher: do you still think about this? http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&atid=439120&group_id=44306&aid=697085
00:46:34LinusNMoos: i have an updated version of that patch

00:48:18Moosunfurtunatly i can't do it :( , just rasher speaked of that this morning maybe can interested hiM
00:48:24rasherMoos: not really, since it was nowhere near compiling.. would take much more than what I could do
00:48:36Moosme too :(
00:48:36rasherLinusN: how much closer is it to working?
00:48:52Bagderand.... I00!
00:49:06Bagderfuopc it is
00:50:42LinusNLinusN: takes some work to apply, but you can try it
00:50:47MoosLinus: thanks nonetheless, i know you are too busy
00:50:53LinusNi haven't tried it myself
00:51:17amiconnI thought a bit about remote wps...
00:51:18BagderLinusN: maybe you should just submit your version to the tracker entry
00:51:30Moosexcellent idea
00:51:39LinusNBagder: sure
00:51:50amiconnit might be necessary to introduce a second gui thread for the remote
00:52:04amiconn..but that leaves the question how to distribute button events
00:52:10Bagderamiconn: I've been thinking about that too
00:52:12 Quit cYmen ("zZz")
00:52:19Bagdera lot ot tricky things pop up
00:52:50preglowugh
00:52:59preglowi need to get back to writing before i cry myself to sleep
00:53:00CassandraI think this is another argument for rewriting the UI thread with virtual keyboard and screen handlers.
00:53:05preglowLinusN: have a nice trip
00:53:09preglowlater, all
00:53:17 Quit preglow ("bah")
00:53:26amiconnCassandra: Too much virtualisation won't do any good. I'm afraid
00:53:46CassandraVirtualisation solves many problems.
00:54:06amiconn...and introduces many other

00:54:28 Join elinenbe_ [0] (elinenbe_@207-237-225-9.c3-0.nyr-ubr1.nyr.ny.cable.rcn.com)
00:54:38elinenbe_bonjour!
00:54:42CassandraTrue. However, in my opinion, Rockbox is now so big and complex that virtualisation would actually significantly simplify the code.
00:54:53amiconnI'm not so sure
00:55:15 Join courtc [0] (~courtc@adsl-154-38-214.asm.bellsouth.net)
00:55:19CassandraAnd allow us to do stuff that just isn't possible under the current model eg timed recording.
00:56:01 Quit ac ("CGI:IRC (EOF)")
00:56:08amiconnVirtualisation will increase memory usage, code size and complexity, imho
00:56:18CassandraThe thing that would worry me most about virtualisation would be how it affects the executable footprint.
00:56:38amiconnMy idea is to introduce a second gui thread for units with a LCD remote
00:57:01amiconn...which handles all remote stuff, that is buttons, menu, wps etc
00:57:16amiconnThat requires a second button queue
00:57:22LinusNamiconn: sounds like a good approach
00:57:31amiconnInteraction would be done via some additional messages
00:57:38CassandraOnce you have two button queues, you might as well virtualise it, surely?
00:57:54elinenbe_any help here? I am setting up cygwin for the iriver enviroment −− previously it was set up for the archos enviroment, but when I checked out the wiki here: http://www.rockbox.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/CygwinDevelopment −− it says it will not work? is there any workaround?
00:58:10CassandraYou're half way there anyway, and your interthread communication is going to be incredibly complex.
00:58:11amiconn...like, 'requesting' the remote lcd from the main thread, for use in plugins
00:58:12LinusNbuild your own compiler
00:58:36amiconnCassandra: I don't see why this should get overly complex
00:58:46rasherSpeaking of building compilers, I failed to build 3.3.4 sh-elf earlier today
00:58:48rasherspectacularly
00:58:48amiconnIt's not much more than what is currently done
00:59:09elinenbe_yeah −− I'll just do that... following the directions here should work −− right? http://www.rockbox.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/CrossCompiler
00:59:14amiconnCassandra: Right now, playback happens in a different thread that UI
00:59:20 Join ac [0] (~5078751e@labb.contactor.se)
00:59:30amiconnA remote ui thread would provide just a second interface
00:59:44CassandraHmm. The problem is that pressing a button on the remote affects the main display and vice versa.
00:59:52LinusNrasher: what failed?
00:59:59amiconnCassandra: Not directly
01:00
01:00:28rasherLinusN: make.. let me finde the error
01:00:43LinusNrasher: http://www.rockbox.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/CrossCompiler#GCC_3_3_X_for_SH1
01:00:51amiconnImplementing my idea would allow to do crazy things... like browsing 2 different parts of the filesystem at once...
01:01:02LinusNamiconn: me likes it
01:01:20rasherLinusN: Yes, I saw.. not sure I did it correctly though
01:01:22Cassandra*mutters* Usability nightmare.
01:01:34rasheramiconn: And a new setting "link remote and main display" !
01:02:04amiconnWell, I think we should start with a partial interface
01:02:20rasherLinusN: the last error I get is "make: *** [configure-target-newlib] error 1"
01:02:27amiconn...like a second wps, which is replaced with our generic rockbox logo when nothing is playing
01:02:28LinusNlinking them could be as easy as replicating the events to both ui threads
01:02:40CassandraIt could be cool, I agree.
01:03:02*amiconn imagines browsing id3db on one screen, and filesystem on the other
01:03:08LinusNrasher: are you sure you put the soft link in the right place?
01:03:13 Quit markun ()
01:03:20rasherLinusN: no.. where does it go?
01:03:42amiconnLinusN: Is there a remote without lcd for iriver?
01:03:48CassandraWhy don't we have the id3db as a virtual directory in the root of the filesystem anyway?
01:03:50LinusNgcc-3.3.4/newlib
01:04:04rasherI have gcc-3.3.4/newlib -> ../newlib-1.11.0/newlib
01:04:08amiconnCassandra: Hmm, good question
01:04:14LinusNrasher: sounds right
01:04:14elinenbe_amiconn: could you do something like a split-screen tree browser/WPS?
01:04:15rasheramiconn: I think there is for h300
01:04:19amiconnCould be done the same way as multivolume on Ondio
01:04:37CassandraExactly.
01:04:51rasherThat sounds like a lovely idea
01:04:54amiconn...only showing the <ID3DB> virtual volume if a valid database is found
01:04:56rasherswitching back and forth is a pain
01:05:05CassandraAnd then we wouldn't need the seperate ID3db Show Files setting.
01:05:13rasherit needs a better name than id3db, too
01:05:13amiconnyup
01:05:36rasheractually, tagdb is used in a lot of places already
01:05:37amiconnrasher: RockDB
01:06:11amiconnYes, tagdatabase is better as well
01:06:43amiconnThere is not only id3 support, even on archos one day
01:06:55amiconn(afaik mp3 can also have apev2 tags)
01:07:11elinenbe_we need "on target" database creation...
01:07:12CassandraTag is good.
01:07:19CassandraIt's what iRiver used.
01:07:49CassandraSomething snappy like "Tagbank" or "Tagbase" only less naff.
01:07:54LinusNamiconn: i believe there is an lcd-less remote for iriver
01:08:14amiconnLinusN: Hmm, that could be tricky then
01:08:44amiconnWe need to re-route remote button events depending on whether an lcd or an lcd-less remote is connected
01:08:58amiconnHope that's detectable at least...
01:08:59CassandraYou know what'd solve that problem?
01:09:02CassandraVirtualisation.
01:09:05Cassandra*grins*
01:09:09amiconnNo it wouldn't
01:09:28amiconnYou'd need to re-route anyway
01:09:48amiconn...and need to probe what's connected, virtualised or not
01:10:13CassandraIf you can't probe, you can always have it as a config option.
01:10:52amiconnLinusN: You don't happen to have such a remote, or know someone who has?
01:11:50LinusNnope
01:12:08LinusNi think it comes with the h300
01:12:21amiconnDidn't you acquire one?
01:12:27MO-Pantsu0.0 http://forum.fucktheinter.net/viewtopic.php?t=24584
01:12:31CassandraHow about we just call the database the "Tag folder"?
01:12:54LinusNamiconn: yes, a used one, without the remote
01:13:07amiconnAh, pity
01:13:18CassandraI thought they didn't actually come with a remote.
01:13:39amiconnLinusN: The H1x0 and H3x0 remotes are exchangeable, right?
01:14:09amiconn(I guess that because there are some offers of remotes for H1x0 and H3x0 on ebay)

01:30:30LinusNenjoy
01:30:42rasherI'm sure I won't
01:31:12rasherguess I should get any other changes out of the way first
01:34:19CassandraThis is the problem with patches. They go off faster than carrots.
01:36:28rasherI say we allow anonymous changes to cvs
01:36:34rasherworks for the wiki
01:36:45rasher(no, not really)
01:41:00LinusNthe problem with patches is that they seldom are ready for direct inclusion in cvs
01:41:15LinusNso we need the author to do some changes before we can commit it
01:41:37LinusNthen the author gets tired/annoyed and disappears
01:41:44Cassandra*nods*
01:42:23*rasher remembers to run make in /tools/
01:43:12amiconnDifferent topic - the codec api should support version control the same way as the plugin api
01:43:40rasherDifferent topic still - it seems that building a simulator without logf support breaks if a plugin does logf
01:44:11amiconnrasher: Yes, that's because logf() is included conditionally in the api
01:44:31amiconn...so logf and non-logf api are incompatible
01:44:54***Saving seen data "./dancer.seen"
01:45:10rasherBut it works for the main code
01:45:29amiconnHmm, it should behave the same way for main
01:45:36amiconns/main/target/
01:45:50rasherHm, I'm not sure
01:46:27CassandraWhat is logf anyway?
01:46:28amiconnWe would need a logf() stub for non-logf builds, but I don't like that either...
01:47:53amiconn...and when I was asked to include logf while I sorted the api, I even tried that
01:48:17amiconnFor some reason I didn't get it to compile, that's why I didn't add logf() back then
01:48:32amiconnNext day someone else did, with that conditional...

03:27:33rasherit's flaky though

03:31:02rasheraw, dammit
03:31:08rasherit's crashing outside the plugin
03:32:09kenshinooooh. :-o

03:35:40rasherI'd say preload

08:10:44B4gdernew lang format suggestion posted
08:11:30Bgerwiki ?
08:11:35B4gdermailing list
08:12:09B4gderI'll make a wiki page later when the biggest flaws have been corrected :-)
08:12:41Bgerregarding translations: i can help translating bulgarian
08:18:20B4gderyou know any other bulgarian users?
08:19:28Bgerin fact - no
08:19:32B4gder:-)
08:19:47Bgerbut someone must be using it ... at least the one who translated it...
08:20:06B4gderyes, at least someone once did
08:20:14Bgeryes
08:21:09Bgerok, then i'll skip it for now
08:27:18amiconnB4gder: Imho it might be a good idea to introduce the SOURCE mechanism to the plugin library build
08:27:35B4gderindeed
08:28:11B4gderit is an oversight that it isn't already
08:32:32amiconnThat would save quite some compilation time, at least for cygwin users
08:32:55amiconnThe grayscale lib would then only be compiled on target, for the archos bitmap lcd
08:33:07amiconnThe player gfx lib for charcell display only
08:34:02B4gderhm, isn't SOURCES already used there?
08:34:49amiconnHmm, you're right...
08:35:03amiconnJust the #ifdef for the grayscale lib is wrong
08:35:27B4gderyes
08:36:29amiconn-> #if CONFIG_LCD == LCD_SSD1815
08:36:34amiconn(for now)
08:36:38B4gderseems right
08:38:07amiconnHmm, this #dfeine is partially defined for simulators as well
08:38:15amiconn(currently only for H1x0)
08:38:46B4gderah, right
08:40:23amiconnI think you changed that, because else the recorder lcd driver was used for H1x0 simulators, which caused graphical glitches
08:40:59amiconn...because of having too small fill bitmaps
08:41:02B4gderI think Linus fixed that
08:41:10B4gderbut yes, it was due to those rasons
08:41:13B4gderreasons
08:41:23amiconnThat's unnecessary atm; they no longer use fill bitmaps
08:41:41amiconn...but it will become necessary again when 4-grey mode is added
08:42:14B4gderimho, if you want it to not be build for the sim, you should check SIMULATOR
08:43:08amiconnYes, as well as the lcd type
08:43:15B4gderyes
08:43:34B4gderthat way, we can have the LCD type or not in the sim build without it affecting the build
08:44:51amiconnI'm thinking about adding buffering to grayscale, perhaps as a secondary library
08:47:36amiconn...but to utilise it fully on archos (fullscreen + many shades), we would need to increase plugin RAM on archos

11:51:16Godeaterthere are ebuilds for the m68k toolchain ?
11:51:26BgerGodeater :
11:51:34Bgerfirst emerge crossdev

11:52:52Bgerno, w8
11:53:07Godeaterok
11:53:12Bgeryou must put something like following in /etc/make.conf
11:53:36BgerPORTDIR_OVERLAY="/usr/local/portage"
11:53:46Bgerand mkdir PORTDIR_OVERLAY
11:53:58Godeaterthis is before running the crossdev command line ?
11:54:01Bgerafter that run crossdev
11:54:05Godeater'k
11:54:10Bgeryes, but crossdev will complain about it
11:54:47Godeatercan't you just run PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/blahblahblah" crossdev blah ?
11:54:48Bgerand all that follow is binutils-config -l => get the profile you need -> binutils <profilenumber> or <profilename>
11:54:50Godeaterwithout editing the make.conf ?
11:55:30Bgerand gcc-config -l => get the profile => gcc-config <profilenumber> or <profilename>
11:55:45Bgerand don't forget to comment out PORTDIR_OVERLAY
11:56:35Bgerbtw, u must run gcc-config & binutils-config as root (maybe it will work with a "portage" user, but i didn't test this)
11:56:39GodeaterI think I get it
11:56:51Bgerand

13:10:59rasherBagder: can't see any problems with your language-file proposal.. other than the danger that people may forget to update all translations, but no format-change will solve that
13:11:12 Quit Musicmad_ ("Trillian (http://www.ceruleanstudios.com")
13:12:12B4gderI'm currently thinking on how we can throw in translated plugins too into the concept
13:13:07 Quit edx (Read error: 110 (Connection timed out))
13:14:03rasherIt would be nice if the plugins provided the English text themselves somehow, such that they'd still only be one source file
13:14:18amiconnB4gder: I already made a suggestion for localised plugins
13:14:47B4gderamiconn: URL?
13:15:00amiconnNo URL; discussed it herein with Linus
13:15:11amiconn(about a month ago iirc)
13:15:20B4gderwe've discussed this many times
13:15:37amiconnThe idea was based on our current localisation system
13:15:41amiconnShort:
13:16:13amiconn(1) A second lang directory in apps/plugins/, with translations split by language
13:16:41amiconn(it's more likely that one translator will translate all plugins than a plugin author knows all languages)
13:17:44amiconn(2) All strings for languages that are available for a plugin would be compiled into the plugin, as several 'string chains' the way the core works now
13:18:23amiconn(3) The plugin would then read the global UI language from the core, and switch to the same internally if that's available
13:18:41amiconnIf that is not available, english would be default
13:19:09amiconn(4) The system would be available for plugin authors as part of the lib
13:19:23B4gderI don't get (2). Would all strings for all languages be built in each plugin?
13:19:32amiconnyep.
13:19:41amiconn(all valid ones for that plugin)
13:19:47B4gderwon't that become a problem?
13:19:52amiconnThere aren't too many
13:19:59B4gder24 languages
13:20:08B4gdertoday
13:20:15amiconnyeps, and just a handful of strings perlanguage
13:20:18B4gderjust seems... like a potential waste
13:20:35amiconnAll other systems I can think of have just disadvantages
13:21:25B4gderwhat's the major disadvantage of loading the strings into a plugin buffer like the main lang system works?
13:21:47 Quit ac ("CGI:IRC (Ping timeout)")
13:22:44amiconnThe problem is splitting the files
13:22:56Coldtoastoh wow! that's awesome!
13:23:14Coldtoasthadn't seen the quick menu you get when you hold down ON in the file browser
13:23:25rasherIt's new as of yesterday
13:23:36B4gderamiconn: I would imagine system where a single file contains strings for multiple plugins
13:23:38amiconnSplitting per plugin would be basically the same as having the strings builtin, only that there is one more file per plugin -> unnecessary, imho
13:23:38Coldtoastsaw the other one
13:24:04amiconnSplitting perlanguage makes even less sense, because it destroys plugin independency
13:24:08B4gderits just that we have all strings for all languages
13:24:16B4gderso 10 strings in english, makes 10 strings in all languages
13:24:21B4gderso 24 langs, makes 240 strings
13:24:26amiconnSplitting per language *and* per plugin is just too many files
13:24:27B4gderwhen 10 is used
13:24:38amiconnYes, and?
13:24:44B4gderamiconn: that's why I think of combined files
13:24:53amiconncombined files?
13:24:57B4gderamiconn: it wastes memory
13:25:12B4gderamiconn: having strings for multiple plugins in a single file
13:25:27amiconnThat's the worst variant, imho
13:25:34B4gderbut only load the part for the plugin you use
13:25:39B4gderwhy?
13:25:47amiconnIt destroys plugin independency
13:25:55B4gderno one uses that today
13:26:10B4gderand we could support indenpendent as well
13:26:13amiconnIf the translation for one plugin is updated, you need to update the whole file
13:26:22B4gderthe script does that
13:26:27amiconnWhat's so bad about building the strings into the binary
13:26:31B4gderno one generates those things manually anyway
13:26:42amiconn10 strings * 24 languages * 20 bytes = 4800 bytes
13:27:07B4gderand if you write a plugin that uses 50 strings?
13:27:15B4gderit isn't impossible
13:27:21amiconnThen there are some more bytes needed
13:27:27B4gderI don't think it scales very well
13:27:35Coldtoastjust got "I04: IllInstr at 10000C84"
13:28:05 Quit rasher ("CGI:IRC")
13:28:15B4gderand I'm a bit amazed that you, amiconn, of all people is in favour of wasting thousands of bytes! :-)
13:28:48amiconnB4gder: Having strings for all plugins in one file creates another serious problem - ID number consistency
13:28:56B4gderno
13:29:06B4gderit would only load the chunk for the particular plugin
13:29:36B4gderhaving an index in the start of the file
13:29:38amiconnYes. But what happens if the author of the first plugin adds 2 new strings?
13:29:49B4gderwe generate a new file
13:29:53amiconnAll subsequent IDs would shift
13:29:57B4gderno
13:30:02B4gderthe IDs are per plugin
13:30:21amiconnThat means we need a plugin id as well

13:31:07amiconnB4gder: Hmm. I'm still not convinced...
13:31:14CassandraAnyone have any idea where I can find a list of UTF-8/unicode equivalents for the old codepage 850 ASCII codes?
13:31:25amiconn...although this might have advantages when it comes to voicing plugins
13:31:49B4gderI'll do some further thinking and then write down my ideas/suggestions
13:32:06amiconnYour new language handling proposal has some disadvantages
13:32:16preglowwith a lot of strings, which some plugins will undoubtedly have, it WILL waste tons of space
13:32:20amiconn...or rather, areas of possible improvement
13:33:00preglowwhen we have plugins with the complexity of rockboy, you can't rule out much
13:33:04amiconnB4gder: It should be possible to assign an adapted translation to more than one target, to avoid unnecessarily repeating it
13:33:05B4gderamiconn: I'm all ears
13:33:21B4gderamiconn: right, I thought about that but couldn
13:33:23amiconnLike, a specific string for ondiosp *and* ondiofm
13:33:26B4gdert think of a nice way
13:33:45amiconnor even worse: for recorder v1, v2 and fm
13:33:59amiconnor for ondiofm and recorder fm
13:33:59amiconnetc
13:34:26B4gderany idea on how?
13:35:06amiconnFirst thought - comma separated target list left of the colon
13:36:45amiconnYour proposal creates a file size problem for voicing, but that can't be avoided I think
13:37:04B4gder?
13:37:30amiconnToday I am building 6 voices, which total to ~9 MB
13:37:32B4gderhwo does it make any different size?
13:38:01amiconnWhen I am building per target, this will multiply by 7 (currently)
13:38:32B4gderyou mean the totaly size of all voices?
13:38:35B4gdertotal
13:38:47B4gderthen yes, it will be more outputs
13:38:54amiconnyes
13:38:59B4gderbut each voice will be better
13:39:03amiconnUploading all them will get tedious
13:39:10B4gderor at least they can be better
13:39:16preglow9 megs isn't that much
13:39:16amiconnYes of course
13:39:19preglowdo you do it that often?
13:39:29amiconnNot that often
13:39:49amiconnI could automate the upload, but probably not when uploading to the wiki
13:40:13amiconn63 megs *will* take a while via ADSL with 128 kbps upstream
13:40:54preglowoh, indeed
13:40:56CassandraWould it be possible to have a "common" file and a suplemental platform file.
13:41:01amiconnI'll probably drop the MS voices soon
13:41:09B4gderI could offer a different upload way to allow automation
13:41:12amiconnThey don't sound that nice
13:41:21CassandraSince the majority of strings are common to all platforms.
13:41:29amiconnI'll possibly buy some UK english AT&T voices instead
13:41:40CassandraThat would be cool ami.
13:42:04CassandraI'll happily throw in a tenner towards them.
13:42:36preglowhow much do they cost?
13:42:42amiconnI think about complementing my female german with a male, and buying the 2 uk english voices as well
13:42:43preglowisn't this was the rockbox donation money is for anyway?
13:42:50amiconnpreglow: about 28 EUR
13:42:52B4gderamiconn: I like the idea with a comma-separated list on the left side of the colon
13:42:56amiconnper voice
13:43:44preglownot too bad, actually

15:42:53B4gderSlasheri: shouldn't it be audiobuffer_pos + copy_n ?
15:44:57SlasheriHmm, nope :)
15:45:08SlasheriThe fillpos itself means audiobuffer_pos + audiobuffer_fillpos
15:45:12B4gderwell it looks weird

15:45:28B4gdersetting it to an absolute value when it can loop
15:45:41B4gderand then afterwords, you add 'length'
15:45:47Slasheriyep, but pcm_flush_fillpos will reset it to zero :)
15:45:51B4gderadding some comments in that code wouldn't be bad
15:45:56Slasheriso that should be ok
15:46:25Slasherisure, comments would be good..
15:46:28B4gderso why first set it and then reset it to zero if lengh >0 ?
15:47:05Slasheripcm_flush_fillpos looks from that variable how many bytes to add in a chunk, then it will reset it to zero
15:47:31B4gderso a if(length > 0) flush; else fillpos = copy_n would make sense
15:48:00B4gderjust trying to understand
15:48:01Slasherino, that fillpos has to be set before calling that flush. Just check the function
15:48:40B4gderI think it is dubious to make such a use of a global variable

15:52:30SlasheriIt loops if buffer wraps

15:58:52godzirraHrm.
15:59:09amiconnB4gder: ...and another driver to directsound?
15:59:15godzirraWhen I try and delete a directory, it gives me the normal prompt "Delete hit play, else hit anything" but when I hit play to delete the directory, it won't delete it.

15:59:41B4gderyes
15:59:49B4gderit would be very useful for playback debugging
15:59:52godzirraShould I just report that in here for iriver? The website says don't report them on the site.
16:00
16:00:13amiconngodzirra: PLAY in that sense means SELECT on iriver
16:00:17godzirraAhhh
16:00:33amiconnThat's because we do not yet have platform specific strings
16:00:45godzirraUnderstandable.

16:05:31godzirraIS next song data available on irivers, out of curiousity?
16:10:20B4gderamiconn: that would also... be totally cool
16:10:22godzirraCrap. I got *PANIC* Updating size on empty dir entry 36
16:10:27godzirraand now I can't turn off my iriver.
16:10:42HClwhat?
16:11:05godzirraWhich part?
16:11:18HClUpdating size on empty dir entry 36
16:11:20HClwhat?
16:11:24godzirraThats what I got.
16:11:31godzirraon my iriver when trying to go into an mp3 directory.
16:11:32HClon rockbox or normal firmware? what does that even mean?
16:11:47godzirraI think it was because I didnt reset after deleting and updating my .rockbox directory maybe?
16:11:51godzirrathat was on today's daily build.
16:11:54godzirraon rockbox.
16:12:22HClmaybe.
16:12:28godzirraafter resetting it worked fine.
16:12:34HClits never a good idea to not reset after an update.
16:12:46amiconnHmm, that's a fat driver panic
16:12:47godzirraYeah.. was early morning stupidity on my part.
16:13:26amiconnMaybe we should close all files by force before usb?
16:13:52amiconn(Same thing we do with hotswap if the card is removed)
16:14:53amiconn...at least all files opened for writing
16:15:09godzirraIt would keep it from killing stuff when people forget to reset, in that case, wouldnt it?
16:15:33HClsounds like a good idea to me, as long as you restore the open files afterwards.
16:15:39HClwhich may be impossible
16:16:00amiconnI think closing them is better even without reopen.
16:16:19godzirraWon't the code reopen them when it needs them anyways?
16:16:21amiconnWhen the fat driver doesn't find the entries it expects, it will panic (bad)
16:16:33HClum.
16:16:37HClif you don't reopen the files
16:16:41HCli know that at least the database
16:16:48HClwill crash horridly.
16:16:58godzirraoh. That'd be bad.
16:17:10amiconnHowever when it does find the expected entries, but these are the wrong ones, it may corrupt the filesystem
16:17:31amiconnHCl: The database is closed and reopened correctly
16:18:20HClkay.
16:18:26HClif the database is the only thing
16:18:31amiconn..and the database is not a big problem (yet), cause it is read only
16:18:37HCli dunno whether we have other constant open files
16:18:39HClum.
16:18:46HCli have a patch laying around here that opens it in read write
16:18:50amiconnI'm thinking of .playlist_control
16:19:07amiconnThat is opened read/write
16:19:41godzirraWell, I got am emssage telling me .playlist_Control couldnt be read, and then it went away and started playing.
16:19:44godzirraafter I hit reset.
16:22:18godzirraAnother problem I'm having... with the daily build. If I hold down play to get my playmode menu, I get the new one (where I can hit left to change shuffle, right to change repeat mode and down to change show files) and when I change it to repeat mode all and shuffle mode on, it will only play files in the current directory... Is that normal?
16:22:39godzirranevermind.. apparently I need repeat mode shuffle.

16:35:08godzirraACtually I Was wrong... it still does only repeat in the current directory.
16:35:16godzirrano matter how you set the repeat mode...
16:35:26godzirraI cant figure out how to shuffle through all mp3s on the new iriver build
16:36:10B4gderit only plays the current playlist, yes
16:37:12godzirraThere's no way to shuffle through all mp3s on the device anymore?
16:37:17godzirraother than adding them all to a playlist?
16:37:23B4gderno, there never was
16:37:33godzirraOn the iriver firmware there was, which is why I ask.
16:37:58B4gderwe don't write that and never did
16:38:40B4gderand actually, I never understood how the iriver firmware did
16:38:46godzirraI realize that. I was just asking if there was a way to do that.
16:38:49godzirralol
16:39:01godzirraOh well. I loved that function.
16:39:15B4gderI see, but with phrases like "anymore" you give the impression we have taken something away
16:39:21B4gderwhich we haven't
16:39:44godzirraSorry for my grammatical faux pas. I just changed to rockbox Friday so I didnt know it wasn't a feature.
16:40:32B4gderautomatically going from folder to folder is not easily done, without sacrifising some of our basic beliefs
16:40:59B4gderand it is so easily done by simply making a playlist and using that
16:41:18godzirraThats fine. I'm still getting used to how everything works. I havent made a playlist yet.
16:42:56ColdtoastI used to use dir skipping myself
16:43:08Coldtoastreally liked it
16:44:22godzirraHmm. About how long should it normally take when you hit "next" before it plays the next song?
16:45:57amiconnIt *should* be instantaneous if the track is buffered, and take disk spinup time plus a few 1/10 seconds if not. It currently takes much longer on iriver
16:46:26B4gderI figure crossfade makes it longer as well
16:46:34B4gderat least feel longer
16:46:36Coldtoastnah
16:46:48ColdtoastI tested withand without and there was no diff I don't think B4gder
16:46:59B4gdersure, but that's a problem
16:47:02B4gdernot how it should be
16:47:04amiconnB4gder: Imho it shouldn't crossfade when skipping tracks
16:47:09Coldtoastthought it might even be linked to the anti-skip buffer length
16:47:12Coldtoastbut no
16:47:18amiconn...but then that's me, I think it should *never* crossfade
16:47:28B4gderI kind of like crossfade on next
16:47:39B4gderat least sometimes
16:47:42ColdtoastI agree with amiconn. no crossfading when you skip tracks
16:47:59Coldtoastbut it doesn't work once you get to the end of the buffered tracks B4gder
16:48:02B4gderbut it kind of goes with the concept that crossfaded next is slower
16:48:16B4gderwhat doesn't work?
16:48:18Coldtoastso you get FADE... FADE... FADE...abdupt skip... abrupt skip... abrupt skip
16:48:30B4gdersure, if there's no data it can't fade
16:48:38B4gderthat's not much to do about it
16:48:47Coldtoastthen disble it all together on skip cos it sounds a bit didgy
16:49:02west-acrei cant seem to get hold of the grayscale patch 1162865 for iriver h1xx
16:49:05west-acreany suggestions
16:49:07B4gderso you rather have "didgy" all the time?
16:49:11west-acrethe sourceforge page dont worx
16:49:26Coldtoastmy idea was to disable crossfade for, like, the first 5 secs or something
16:49:31godzirraWhen I hit "next" I get about 4 seconds before the next song starts.
16:49:46Coldtoastso if you skip quickly along, no fading but if you leave it longer, it fades
16:50:15B4gderI think the current concept holds fine
16:50:27Coldtoastok. I disagree tho
16:50:28B4gderif it can, it fades, it if can't it doesn't
16:50:42west-acrei cant seem to get hold of the grayscale patch 1162865 for iriver h1xx
16:50:47B4gderbut I could agree with an option that disables fading on next
16:50:59B4gderwest-acre: so wait until the sf page is up again
16:51:08Coldtoastthat'd be better I think
16:51:09west-acresf?
16:51:10B4gderwest-acre: I trust you know the patch is a source code change
16:51:11godzirraDisabling fading on next would be nice, I agree.
16:51:22west-acreindeed

16:52:02west-acreoh yeh
16:52:02west-acrelol
16:52:03west-acresoz

16:52:27west-acrerite
16:52:28Coldtoastcool. got Windows crappy task scheduler to run curl every 20mins or so
16:52:35B4gderI'm quite sure it doesn't apply cleanly
16:52:52amiconnToo many gfx changes... with yet more to come
16:53:22B4gderI believe amiconn's path is the better grayscale road
16:53:48ColdtoastB4gder: if you disable crossfade on next, would you also do it on Prev?
16:53:58Coldtoastit tries to fade Prev too doesn't it?
16:54:02godzirraColdtoast: where is your wps file you use?
16:54:03HClmarkun made it as a quick hack to get it to work anyways...

16:58:25godzirraB4gder: do yours take 3+ seconds to switch directories?
16:58:48B4gderif the disk isn't already spinning, I guess it is about that time
16:59:02FlemmardB4gder: wit the original firmware, it taked a long time to start, i've defragmented, i've won half of the time

17:20:28godzirraOH, I knew that.. I meant smaller in diskspace.

18:13:41Coldtoastas I said. change the USB mode to Charge and see if you can play tracks
18:13:42bill20r3so it's powering it like I want, but it stops it from actually playing.

19:40:10amiconnMaybe the lcd init is incomplete somehow
19:40:17Stryke`yeah, it just takes a normal shot (non-inverted)
19:40:37amiconn...and sometimes an internal value of the lcd controller is wrong because of that

19:51:54preglowaye
19:51:59preglownegative codec buffer value
19:52:01preglowthat's strange
19:52:07Slasheriyep, that's really bad
19:52:14preglowand never above 10% pcm buffer?
19:52:16preglowthat's insane
19:52:17Slasherii have even myself noticed it sometimes
19:52:34preglowespecially for a 192 kbps mp2
19:52:52Coldtoastamiconn: non-inverted is perfect tho. I have the line cursor set to Bar and that's perfect too
19:52:56Slasherihmm.. i will need to find some mp2 to test the performance..
19:53:05SlasheriMaybe i have some DAB recordings
19:53:17preglowi've got some mp2 files
19:53:21preglow192 kbps, as it happens
19:53:24preglowthey work perfectly
19:53:32preglow44.1khz, tho
19:54:10preglowit does, however, not work very fast :/
19:54:47preglowit is conceivable resampling might choke it
19:54:59preglowas the current resampler is dog slow
19:55:36preglowouch
19:55:39preglowouch indeed
19:55:44preglowit BARELY runs when buffering
19:55:53preglowit's constantly at the 10% mark
19:56:00preglowresampling would have choked this easily
19:56:10Slasheri:/
19:56:22preglowi wonder why the flaming hell mp2 is so slow
19:56:35preglowit should be faster than mp3, really
19:57:12Slasheriwhile buffering, the system tries to keep the audio buffer around 10% by slowing down reading from hard disk
19:57:23preglowhmm
19:57:26preglowwill it always succeed?
19:57:32Slasheriit should
19:57:43preglowto the point where it doesn't buffer at all if it needs to?
19:57:47Slasheriit will give all performance to codecs if that's necessary
19:57:59Slasheriyep
19:58:03preglowif it notices it can't buffer without having pcm empty itself, it should give a warning in some way
19:58:10preglowthat might save us a lot of problems
19:58:14Slasherihmm, a good idea
19:58:27preglowpeople WILL experience this, once we get heavier dsp going
19:58:37preglowand having an explicit warning will save us much debugging
19:59:03preglowwell, ok

21:11:15amiconnlong long is definitely less evil than floating point
21:11:16preglowit's just one place
21:11:52amiconnYes, but that one place lets gcc include some library functions, depending on what operations you will use
21:11:59preglowyup
21:12:05preglowthat's right

21:12:43preglowit does like with floating point, and adds some libgcc functions
21:12:48amiconnAddition is likely to be inlined, but multiplication probably not
21:13:09Moosamiconn: i've got this "problem"
21:13:13amiconnWhat about sacrificing that last bit instead going for long long?
21:13:24preglowi don't want to sacrifice precision when i don't have to
21:13:29preglowbut anywho
21:13:34preglowit's not much of an issue
21:13:48preglowusing the linear interpolator for anything above 65khz will sound very, very bad
21:13:58preglownow that i think about it
21:14:05amiconnMoos: I'm just preparing a test build with fixed up display init. Hold on
21:14:27Moosoki
21:14:29amiconnpreglow: Didn't you talk about sophisticated filtering in the iriver firmware?
21:14:34preglowamiconn: indeed
21:14:46Learpreglow: I'm about to submit a patch with int64_t... :)
21:14:53preglowLear: doing what?
21:15:13Learpreglow: better metadata support for ogg vorbis (comments and stuff).
21:15:15preglowamiconn: i guess them being able to do such things really demonstrates how much faster their codecs are than ours :/
21:16:39preglowlear: do you happen to know how hairy it will be to support multiple ogg streams in one file?
21:16:59preglowi'd love for us to support that
21:17:29Learpreglow: well, pretty much, yes. At least the reading the information part. Not sure how it should be shown to the user though.
21:17:54amiconnMoos, Coldtoast: Here is a test build (current cvs with modified lcd init): amiconn.dyndns.org/rockbox-h100.zip">http://amiconn.dyndns.org/rockbox-h100.zip
21:17:59preglowlear: just wonder how seeking, for example, would handle that, there's not advanced warning that there are multiple ogg streams in one file, no?
21:18:30preglowunless i remember incorrectly, you can pretty much just concatenate a couple of files into one file and it'd be perfectly legal
21:18:46Learpreglow: as it is now, my patch detects if there are several streams and calculates total play time (well, sort of), but doesn't support reading tags for the other streams (the codec could be used for that as well, so it might not be needed).
21:19:00preglowlear: nice
21:19:12 Join Sucka [0] (~NNSCRIPT@host81-156-208-19.range81-156.btcentralplus.com)
21:19:18Learpreglow: it's easy to detect chaining, and seeking isn't much harder because of it; just need to keep track if which stream to seek in.
21:22:58Moosamiconn: it's work very fine now
21:23:04Mooscongrates
21:23:16amiconnTried switching off/on multiple times?
21:23:25Moosi trying
21:24:23Slasheripreglow: i fixed the negative buffer indicator, unfortunately it wasn't a bug i think
21:24:37Moosamiconn: never work for me before this
21:24:49amiconnNice :)
21:25:08Moosi tested stop an reboot few times and always work, good work
21:25:18amiconnBtw, I just reordered the init sequence according to the datasheet, and inserted the required pause of 100 ms
21:25:26amiconnThen I'll commit this
21:25:44 Quit Zoom2 ("CGI:IRC (EOF)")
21:27:20preglowslasheri: how?
21:28:22Slasheripreglow: codecbuflen was increased before cur_ti->available was increased. So the buffer length went temporarily to negative side. Of course that was a bug but i doubt it caused any harm
21:30:08Slashericommitted
21:30:42preglowhaha
21:30:44Slasherioh, that was vice versa. codecbuflen was increased too late..
21:30:49preglowseems people are starting to ask for ipod rockbox

21:35:27Slasheripreglow: oh!
21:35:38Slasherithe mp3 decoding is now ultra fast with dithering disabled =)
21:36:13Slasherionly about 20% boost ratio now and with dithering ~60%
21:36:51Slasheriit's even faster than vorbis i think

21:38:19preglowSlasheri: yes, i know
21:38:26preglowSlasheri: like i said, the dithering is rEMARKABLY slow
21:38:27Slasheriboost ratio ~15% for 128k mp3 file
21:38:30Slasheri:D
21:38:39Slasherithis is cool
21:39:34Learslasheri: I browsed the UDA1380 spec today. AFAICT, it supports 24-bit audio. No need for slow dithering then. :)
21:39:53hubbellear: but the CPU only supports 16 bits when using DMA
21:40:13SlasheriHmm, 24 bit audio would be great but that dma support is a problem
21:40:15Learhubbel: argh! so there was a reason it wasn't used.
21:40:24preglowhubbel: do you know what the impact will be on using interrupt driven audio?
21:40:46preglowslasheri: it is faster than vorbis, it's always been
21:40:50Learand I guess the hardware implementation prevents sample rate changes; or is it just that we don't know how to do it?
21:41:09preglowlear: it allows them, but only 44.1khz, 22.05khz, etc
21:41:26hubbelpreglow: not really but we can only write 5-6 samples at the time, so one interrupt for every 5-6 samples
21:41:36preglowlear: and then, we have the optical out to worry about too, that can support a minimum of 32khz
21:41:47preglowlear: so we will probably opt for never leaving 44.1khz
21:41:53preglowthen again, we might make it an option
21:41:55preglowi can't see why not
21:42:07preglowwith all the decision making removed to dsp.c, this should be fairly easy
21:42:16preglowhubbel: ouch
21:42:17hubbelpreglow: definitely
21:42:48 Part hubbel
21:43:45Coldtoastamiconn: you fixed the LCD issue
21:44:09preglowalways using 44.1 should be a nice default
21:44:20amiconnBoost ratio ~25% for 448 kbps mp1. Was >80% before
21:44:38preglowyes, i once again feel obliged to comment on how slow that dithering is
21:44:42Stryke`amiconn: your fixed LCD build, its non-dithering as well?

21:48:49ep0chwhat have you just done to mp3 playback?
21:48:52ep0chah

21:49:00ep0chhow?

21:49:10ep0ch:)
21:49:16ep0chnice job
21:49:18preglowi disabled dithering
21:49:28Learso I tried an ogg (Q5). Boost rate about 30%...
21:49:30preglowdon't tell me you can tell the difference
21:49:30ep0chahh like i said the other day
21:49:50amiconnBoost ratio ~20% for 384 kbps mp2
21:49:55ep0chi can see a huge difference in the debug screen :)
21:49:59preglowoh yes
21:50:02preglowit's heaps faster
21:50:05ep0chhell yeah
21:50:14ep0chnow for wavpack :p
21:50:21preglowwavpack has always been fast
21:50:28preglowand lossless codecs dont need dithering anyway
21:50:39preglowwavpack doesn't even need to boost the cpu here
21:50:48ep0choops i meant mpc
21:50:58amiconnpreglow: They might if the lossless source is >16 bits
21:51:06preglowamiconn: ah, sure
21:51:15preglowamiconn: and i'm thinking we'll want to dither if we do any processing
21:51:19amiconn(not common, I think)
21:51:21preglowep0ch: you do it, i've had it with the stupid codec
21:51:27ep0ch:)
21:51:35preglowouch
21:51:40preglowi just got i00 on a wavpack file
21:51:42preglowfirst file i played
21:52:13preglowoUCH
21:52:17preglowit's consistent
21:52:18preglowwhat the ehll
21:52:49ep0chwhy does the pcm buffer need to be so big?
21:53:05preglowfor increased efficiency and gapless, i guess
21:53:05ep0chhelps with crossfading?
21:53:09preglowi'd like to see it become smaller
21:53:40ep0chi'd rather see the "when to top up the buffer" value lowered
21:53:43preglowalso, the current cpu boosting strategy works best with larger buffers
21:54:05ep0chso the cpu aint switching to boost all the time
21:54:29ep0chbut am sure there's a reason for it being what it is...
21:55:17preglowan
21:55:23preglowwhy does my lossless wavpack file crash
21:55:46amiconnHmm, with resampling the boost ratio is a bit higher. Still, resampling seems to eat less cpu than dithering
21:55:59preglowamiconn: and that's really saying something, if you ask me
21:56:00amiconn~42% with 320 kbps 48 kHz mp3
21:56:33preglowas it is, i should be able to increase resampling efficieny easily
21:57:10ep0chusing asm?
21:57:13preglowno
21:57:19preglowusing a clevrer stereo strategy
21:57:24preglowasm can come later
21:59:03preglowall the deltas and positions only need to be calculated once
21:59:10preglownow it happens twice
21:59:21preglowall the looping also happens twice
21:59:28ep0chah
22:00
22:00:11amiconnThe saved performance should go into some more sophisticated resampling, imho
22:00:28preglowsure
22:00:29amiconnUpsampling doesn't sound nice for higher ratios...
22:00:47preglowoh no it doesn't
22:00:52preglowwe should use fir filters for upsampling
22:01:05preglowand again, lucky us, the emac unit is ideally suited for fir filtering
22:01:39amiconnI'm curious whether and how iriver used the emac
22:01:47preglowmost definitely
22:02:04amiconnPerhaps they use a compiler with emac support?
22:02:05preglowyou'd be foolish not to use it for for example resampling
22:02:12preglowi don't know if there is such a beast
22:02:20preglowi'm under the impression iriver uses assembler a lot
22:02:23Learha, I'm pretty sure I have dithering enabled now, yet CPU boost is only about 17-20%
22:02:36Learthat's for 128 kBit MP3...
22:02:42preglowlear: what did you change?
22:02:44ep0chnah
22:02:48preglowlear: i doubt that
22:02:53ep0ch128 kbps was about 50%
22:03:03ep0chthis morning anyway
22:03:25amiconnOopsss!
22:03:33amiconnFound a bug :(
22:03:35Learwell, first I removed that nedless & 0xffffffff in prng (though I doubt that made much difference), then I moved the dithering buffers to IRAM. :)
22:03:38preglowin what?
22:03:51amiconnI just played a 22 kHz mp3 track

22:39:52preglowBUT, i'm still not sure how to handle files that do not have lame headers
22:40:16ep0chfoobar doesnt do that, and foobar sets the standard :)
22:40:29preglowfoobar doesn't do what?
22:40:31Stryke`foobar does, however, have a DSP Gapkiller

22:54:16Slasheriand now it doesn't start?
22:54:27wintermuteAm I correct in assuming that the current tag database only works on iRiver builds?
22:54:45]RowaN[it starts... stuggles to bring up the initial list of dirs, then when i try to go into a dir the hd access led is very agressive but it doesnt get anywhere
22:54:52Bagderwintermute: no
22:55:02Slasheriah, really weird
22:55:16Slasherimaybe the hdd has failed if your unit is old..
22:55:21]RowaN[anyway, i dropped my iriver last month for those who remember, this is just the final nail in its coffin
22:55:39wintermuteBagder: I just rebuilt the database with the songdb.pl on the TagDatabase page, and Rockbox throws a 'Unsupported database version: 3' error on reboot.
22:55:46Slasheriyou should also try check the disk for bad sectors with computer
22:55:55Bagderwintermute: then you need to update your rockbox
22:56:08]RowaN[scandisk wouldnt know a bad sector if one bit it in the ass

22:57:06preglowSlasheri: man, don't you zero out the resampler structs anywhere?
22:57:22Slasheripreglow: Hmm.. :D
22:57:28amiconnBagder: Some more ideas concerning extended localisation handling...
22:57:30Slasherino, i don't do that ;)
22:57:32preglowit's got a pos variable, you know, heh
22:57:42preglowcould be reading the miles of bounds
22:57:54preglowout of bounds
22:58:09Slasheriok, it should be zeroed then
22:58:23preglowoh yes indeed
22:58:32wintermuteBagder: Okay. Reflashed, and it reads the database, but it gives me the same problem it's always given me, namely:
22:58:35SlasheriHmm, maybe DSP_SET_FREQUENCY is a good place to do that
22:58:46preglowyeah, i'd say so
22:59:03Slasherigood. would you like to add a memset or something there? :)
22:59:21amiconnBagder: *If* we're going for the solution to have the plugin language files per language for all plugins where each plugins just loads its section, it would be natural to extend that concept back to the core
22:59:37wintermuteBagder: When browsing the database, I get quite a few entries in, for example, Artists that are nothing more than a single letter. Same for albums and songs. And I can't seem to figure out why certain songs' tags aren't read correctly.
22:59:49Bagderamiconn: yes, I thought about that too...
22:59:51amiconnThat is, there would be one language file per language, for both core and plugins
23:00
23:00:02amiconnSame goes for voice files
23:00:14preglowSlasheri: no, you do it, please, my dsp.c is hacked to pieces right now
23:00:24Slasheripreglow: ok :)
23:00:50Bagderamiconn: ... and I'm trying to come up with a system that supports both separate individual files for easy user replacements, and one big provided by the default build
23:00:59amiconnThe routines for sectioned loading would then be part of the core anyway, plugins could reuse them
23:01:26Bagderwintermute: sounds like some kind of bug
23:01:26ep0chhow come the pcm buffer refills itself at about < 20% with MP3, but for Vorbis it refills when the pcm buffer is about < 75% ??
23:01:35amiconnAnd when I think about it, we're not giving up independent plugins, only that independent plugins can't have localisation
23:01:39amiconn...like right now
23:01:44Bagdertrue
23:02:27amiconnEach language and voice file would need a platform id, and each section would need a plugin id
23:02:36amiconn...or a special id for core
23:02:40Bagderyes
23:02:42wintermuteBagder: If I were to report this bug, who should I inform? The tracker on the site, the mailing list, or an individual dev?
23:02:57Bagderwintermute: the tracker is the best place
23:02:59Learep0ch: I tend to see it the other way around. Vorbis always filled at very low levels, whereas MP3 often - but not always - refills earlier.
23:03:08wintermuteThanks for your help, sir.
23:03:17ep0chno its the other way :)
23:03:21*Bagder bows
23:03:22Learep0ch: Not that I've tested Vorbis much with the audio track viewer...
23:03:40ep0chsurely its codec independant though, and the pcm buffer controls when to boost?
23:03:50amiconnBagder: To fully exploit the concept, IDs which have neither a string nor a voice for a certain platform should be left out on that platform
23:04:22Bagderindeed
23:04:38Bagderno need to include empty strings
23:04:38preglowdfsdfsdf
23:04:39Learep0ch: should be, but different codecs use different block sizes for filling the PCM buffer...
23:04:54amiconnThat's a task for genlang/binlang
23:04:57Bagder...unless they're marked as DEPRECATED
23:05:03amiconnyes
23:05:08ep0chbut about 512k difference?
23:05:18ep0ch:o

23:06:08amiconnIt's necessary to deprecate per platform if we leave out empty IDs

23:07:23amiconnHaving per-platform voice files automatically solves the codec problem
23:07:31amiconnWe can just use what we want
23:07:32Slasheriep0ch: yes, the pcm buffering controls the boost
23:07:35Bagderah, right
23:07:39preglowman, what the hell
23:07:48ep0chso how come different codecs appear to boost at different pcm levels
23:07:48ep0ch?
23:08:03ep0ch[22:01] <ep0ch> how come the pcm buffer refills itself at about < 20% with MP3, but for Vorbis it refills when the pcm buffer is about < 75% ??
23:08:07preglowmy box just halts at building firmware file now
23:08:14amiconnBagder: I think voicing at least some plugins is very important
23:08:28amiconn(Thinking about our blind guys trying to flash...)
23:08:28SlasheriHmm, interesting.. Only crossfading should affect that
23:08:33Bagderyes, that'll be awesome

23:09:38ep0chthanks for explaining
23:09:40amiconnBagder: ...and having voice per-platform will indeed help to get better voice quality
23:09:55preglowLear: yo, did you make your long long change actually work? :P
23:10:04Bagderpreglow: looks like a lds problem
23:10:08preglowBagder: indeed
23:10:16preglowoh don't think gcc actually generated all that code :P
23:10:18amiconnpreglow: Check the .map
23:11:28Learpreglow: sure. I did need to edit apps.lds though...
23:11:30preglow*default* 0x00000000 0xffffffff
23:11:33preglowis that right?
23:11:37preglowLear: explain...
23:12:04Learfrom my patch: + *(.eh_frame)
23:12:15preglowlength 0xffffffff sounds a bit excessive
23:12:17Learat about line 172 or so
23:12:22preglowLear: what's that do?
23:12:48Learbut that didn't give the problem you have; the linker complained about a section it didn't know to handle, so I had to add it.
23:13:19preglowso you've got it in the ro_data section?
23:13:43Learyes, but I don't know for sure if that is the right thing really.
23:13:50preglowwell, it sure didn't HANG now at least
23:13:54amiconnLear: There's only one sane way to handle .eh_frame, drop it
23:14:00preglowwhat IS eh_frame?
23:14:06Learand how do you do that?

23:14:47Bagder *(.eh_frame)
23:14:47Bagder }
23:14:59Bagdersee plugins/plugin.lds
23:15:02amiconnplugin.lds does that too
23:15:39LearI guess whoever applies my patch does that then? :)
23:16:08preglowwhat is it?
23:16:11wintermuteAlright, the bug is on the Tracker under User Interface. Thanks for the help, all.
23:16:15preglowand why should it be discarded?
23:16:16amiconn.eh_frame contains debug info
23:17:05amiconn...afaiu
23:17:25Bagderthat's my understanding too
23:18:26amiconnLear: You did introduce long long, right?
23:18:53preglowthat's what i've done, at least
23:19:10Learamiconn: in a patch on the tracker yes. But the Vorbis codec uses it as well...
23:19:52amiconnYes, and the codec linking uses plugin.lds, which drops .eh_frame
23:20:05Learchanged to discard, still builds and nothing in the map...
23:20:12amiconnI guess that .eh_frame section comes from a gcc lib routine
23:20:23amiconn...that deals with long long
23:20:31Learamiconn, yes, 64 bit divide, IIRC.

23:26:06MO-Pantsuas in any progress towards a working gui for the lcd?
23:26:44Learamiconn: as in letting the battery_test plugin run for a while...?
23:26:58amiconnBattery_test won't tell us much
23:27:27amiconnThe test should be carried out while playing real mp3 data
23:27:50amiconn...and measuring how long it runs
23:28:04preglowcasting a long long to a long DOES give the lower 32 bits and nothing else, yes?
23:28:08Leardarn, I was hoping not having to redo the kind of measurement I did for the player, where I wrote down the voltage every half hour or so, when using 1800 mAh batteries...
23:28:23Bagderpreglow: it probably sign-extends it
23:28:33Bagderunless unsigned of course
23:28:34amiconn...using a well defined bitrate, sample frequency, and repeat all with total filesize >> 32 MB
23:28:37preglowunsigned, yes

23:30:45MO-PantsuI used to use it a lot with iRiver FW that is
23:30:46preglowit's late
23:30:47CassandraIn the summer, it's too bulky.
23:30:48LearRegarding the dither again, I played a 320 kbps file, boost was 44% with optimizations.
23:30:51preglowi can't spend any more time on this
23:31:05preglowLear: how much iram do you use?
23:31:23CassandraCan someone tell me which iRiver buttons I can pick up keypresses from at the same time.
23:31:34preglowCassandra: ON + any one of the others
23:31:39CassandraI know that PLAY and STOP can be used at the same time as the arrow keys.
23:31:41preglowCassandra: same applies for the remote, afaik
23:31:48amiconnyes
23:32:05Learthe dither buffers aren't large, 32 bytes I think.
23:32:11CassandraI can't use MODE or REC at the same time as the arrow keys though, can I?

23:33:02CassandraI can't really use STOP+key for anything. Too much danger of accidentally turning the unit off.
23:33:11CassandraSo I have to choices.

23:48:49ColdtoastCassandra: the menu with playlist management is an important menu whereas the Quick menu isn't. My suggesstion is put the file display type at the bottom of that, forget the quick menu in the browser and have it as page scrolling, which it looks like is important to some
23:48:54Coldtoastmy 2cents
23:49:35Coldtoastthat way you have quick access to the file disply option in the browser still
23:50:23CassandraWell, the other alternative is to stick the Quick menu on long press on A-B and just live without chording
23:50:24Coldtoastwhat's on the Record button tho? that doesn't seem to have anythign assigned to it
23:51:11CassandraWell eventually it'll have recording assigned to it.
