#rockbox log for 2005-07-04

00:00:24 Join Cassandra [0] (~cassandra@82-70-230-150.dsl.in-addr.zen.co.uk)
00:02:33ColdtoastI'd hate to suggest your HDD's faulty....
00:02:45Coldtoastor becoming so
00:02:58stripwaxbut only faulty when using rockbox fw? seems suspicious..
00:03:08Coldtoastoh? yeah
00:03:12Coldtoastthat is weird
00:03:17stripwaxyeah
00:04:21Coldtoastonly thing I hear is the usual slight whirring noise of a spinnin gHDD and the head moving
00:04:30stripwaxit's a really quite beep/squeal by the way. i'd imagine i don't even notice it a lot of the time, unless the room is pretty much silent.
00:04:36stripwax^quite^quiet
00:05:07stripwaxbut it only happens during first bootup / first access of the file tree / first buffering of a file. after that, it doesn't seem to happen again.
00:05:13stripwaxunless I turn off/on the player again
00:06:37stripwaxhm, any good utilities to thoroughly disk-check a usb drive?
00:06:50stripwaxor would i have to pull it out and fit a 1.8"/3.5" adapter?
00:07:18HCldoes anyone happen to know a good way to get adrenaline out of your system?
00:07:27Coldtoastgoogling doesn't offer any very promising info
00:07:35Coldtoastjust stuff about imminent failure
00:07:47ColdtoastHCl: meditation
00:07:51HClColdtoast: hm.
00:07:57HClgood idea.
00:08:01HCli'm buddhist after all.
00:08:08Coldtoastthere you go then
00:08:18stripwaxbeep,clunk. beep/clunk.. repeatedly while trying to scandisk from windoze :-(
00:08:18amiconnMrf, I *hate* that remote hold switch
00:08:35HClstripwax: sounds like a faulty harddisk... :/
00:08:40stripwaxbah
00:08:41HClit shouldn't react like that in usb mode :/
00:08:49stripwaxHCi quite ... :-(
00:09:19stripwaxooooh, very noisy, it's scaring me now
00:09:26*HCl goes afk to try to meditate around the various game sounds coming from gta san andreas to the left and burnout3 on the right
00:09:51Coldtoaststripwax: and you're sure it NEVER does it with the iriver fw?
00:10:15stripwaxnever. could be a horrible coincidence tho if it's doing it in usb mode :-(
00:10:25HClyea :/
00:10:27stripwaxscandisk with 'attempt repair of bad sectors' by the way.
00:10:31HClouch.
00:10:42HClreplace or reflash with iriver firmware, strip rockbox off it and claim warranty
00:10:44Coldtoastwhat about trying USB mode via the iriver fw?
00:10:54stripwaxColdtoast hm, worth a shot
00:11:01Coldtoastyeah
00:11:13HClthey shouldn't differ since usb is all handled by the usb chip
00:11:18HClbut you can try, i suppose
00:11:35*HCl is still running on stress/overdrive cause of adrenaline... x.x
00:11:37Coldtoasthe says it doesn't beep with the iriver fw
00:11:39HCli'd better go afk completely...
00:11:44stripwaxerk, battery too low for iriver fw to boot. hm, wonder if that's related?
00:11:56Bagdercould very well be
00:12:14stripwaxi'll try checking again tomorrow after a full recharge
00:12:14Coldtoastyeah. there's no chance rockbox drains the batt too low is there?
00:12:23Coldtoastthat's been confirmed to be unable to happen?
00:12:35stripwaxColdtoast it definitely drains it lower than iriver fw
00:12:46Bagderhow would that hurt the disk anyway?
00:12:47Coldtoastnot too low tho?
00:13:15stripwaxand i've had it in the case before where rockbox couldn't boot: disk would spin up, stop, spin up, stop, as if there wasn't enough power for disk. hope that wouldn't hurt disk?
00:13:31Coldtoastoh yeah. that was only the other day right
00:13:33Coldtoast?
00:14:10HCli'd really prefer an auto shutdown before it hits 3volts... afk now..
00:14:18stripwaxColdtoast i last noticed that maybe four weeks ago - i've been careful to not let batt get too low since then
00:14:22ColdtoastI'm down to 1 bar myself
00:14:27stripwaxalthough maybe it already is too low, dunno
00:14:45Coldtoastcan you still RMA if you need to?
00:16:09stripwaxColdtoast - not sure. probably not, got it 18months ago.. but someone says European players have a 2yr warranty? I'll see if I still have the box somewheres..
00:16:17stripwax.. or i could just buy a 30GB hdd...?
00:17:04Coldtoastyeah. you may as well upgrade it if you do have to replace the drive
00:17:07ColdtoastI would
00:17:32ColdtoastI'd also stick a 2200mAH battery in there while I was at it cos they're SO cheap :)
00:17:46stripwax:-)
00:18:11stripwaxhm, am I imagining that cpu is boosted while the backlight fades out?
00:18:41CassandraCurse this digital transfer mode. Really shows up the limitations of my crappy 5.1 speakers.
00:18:46stripwaxseems a spooky coincidence that the info always shows boost when screen fades in/out
00:18:55stripwax^when^while
00:19:17amiconnyes it is
00:19:30stripwaxamiconn - why is that?
00:19:40amiconnThat is so just to avoid flicker, which would occur when the frequency changes while fading
00:20:03amiconnThe fading is timer interrupt based, and the timer depends on the cpu clock
00:20:51stripwaxBatt 17% apparently. Too low for iriver fw to boot
00:22:07stripwaxamiconn hmm ok. could it use TIME_AFTER or something instead and be independent of cpu clock?
00:22:08Coldtoastwhere do you get batt as a %?
00:22:24amiconnstripwax: No and no
00:22:36stripwaxhm ,just jumped to 22%. silly. Coldtoast - view IO ports in Debug
00:22:42stripwaxamiconn - why not?
00:23:27amiconnTIME_AFTER() is a macro using current_tick, which (1) also glitches a little while changing cpu freq and (2) is much too low resolution for flicker-free fading
00:23:57 Quit Aison ("( www.nnscript.de :: NoNameScript 3.72 :: www.XLhost.de )")
00:24:15amiconncurrent_tick also happens to use a timer
00:24:16stripwaxamiconn - how do you mean by 'glitches' ? but understood on second point
00:24:54amiconn...and a timer counts cpu cloks, so the count cycle has to be adapted when cpu freq changes
00:25:00*HCl feels a bit better :/ are there still reds caused by HCl ?
00:25:29BagderHCl: yes, those lacking functions in the archos version
00:25:31amiconnHCl: yes :(
00:25:43amiconnNo, the sims are red
00:25:48HClamiconn: do you think you have time to implement those functions or should i just define them for iriver only for now?
00:25:55Bagderaha, only sums
00:25:55HClor maybe non simulator only
00:25:56HCl?
00:26:02Bagdersims
00:26:10*Bagder types so very crappy
00:26:24HClah... in my stress i misread h300 as h100 and thought there were errors not caused by me..
00:26:50amiconnThe simulators should have stub functions instead (probably in playback.c)
00:26:52HClshould i just disable the runtime database on the simulators for now?
00:27:20amiconn..so the runtimedb registers, but will just never be called back
00:27:21HClthe archos targets don't have playback.c in sim though
00:27:29amiconnAh, yes
00:27:29HClright?
00:27:38amiconnThat's probably the reason
00:27:45amiconnThey don't have playback.c at all
00:27:47Bagderso add the stubs in a simulator-specific file, I say
00:27:50HClyea, since iriver sim doesn't red
00:28:01amiconn...and I wonder why the target builds are *not* red
00:28:13HClyou haven't added the functions, i assume?
00:28:16Bagdercrappy script
00:28:29Bagderthe target builds fail as well
00:28:34HClokay..
00:28:42HClso should i add stub functions in mpeg.c or?
00:28:47HCli really don't know much about archos..
00:29:25Bagdershouldn't these function be common for either platform?
00:29:29Bagderfunctions
00:29:35HClouch.
00:29:39amiconnI'd say just disable the registering in database.c for archos for now
00:29:40HCllet me correct that logf define a bit
00:29:49HClthat find function does way more than just a check
00:29:55HClits required to be called, just without the if
00:29:56amiconn...with a comment
00:29:58HClwithout a logf
00:30:07BagderHCl: sorry
00:30:09amiconn...then it can be reenabled once the funcs get implemented
00:30:38amiconn...and yes, they'll go into mpeg.c for archos
00:31:16HClits okay
00:31:22amiconnBagder: Could someone pls fix these colouring scripts?
00:31:28*amiconn hides
00:31:42HClamiconn: k, will do
00:32:06amiconnI often rely on the last status line. All green means don't worry for me, unless I see something going wrong myself
00:32:19Bagderyes
00:33:37HCljust fixed the red builds and corrected the findrundbentry thing, hopefully
00:34:07 Quit cYmen ("zZz")
00:36:05HCli'd appreciate it if more people could test runtime database functionality on iriver
00:36:22HCli haven't had much time to check it properly, i only confirmed that it worked
00:36:54 Quit matsl (Remote closed the connection)
00:37:12HClsorry about the commit earlier :/ i was far too stressed
00:37:16Bagderwell, what can we do with it?
00:37:21HClmmm
00:37:22HClwell
00:37:22Bagderif I enable it I mean?
00:37:28HClyou can use the search engine
00:37:38HClto make search querys containing the playcounta
00:37:40HClplaycount
00:37:42HCland autorating
00:37:49HClwhich is a rating based on playcount ranging from 1 to 10
00:38:09HClafter enabling the database and playing some songs
00:38:10Bagderhow?
00:38:21HCldatabox will be able to generate a search query file for you..
00:38:32Bagderis that the file name it asks for?
00:38:36HClyes
00:38:38HClsorry
00:38:47HCli still need to put a lot of work in databox and searchengine
00:39:11HClafter the search query is created just play it and searchengine will run and create a /search.m3u with the results
00:39:17Bagder_some_ docs would help ;-)
00:39:23HCli know i know :/
00:39:27HCli'll add it to my todolist..
00:39:30HClalso
00:39:44HCltry recreating a blank database while keeping the old database
00:39:50CassandraBagder: do you know who did the last revisions on the Windows Installer? If it were checked in, I could try to get it working for iRiver too.
00:39:55HCland check whether it self-repairs properly, it will tell you in the logf log
00:40:16HClsorry, thats a lot of bugtesting, i'll do part of this myself as well
00:40:17BagderCassandra: it might've been Linus
00:40:33HClwhile keeping the old runtime database*
00:40:41amiconnCassandra: I did the windows installer extensions. Dunno if Linus did some further changes
00:41:01Bagderah, ok. I may be hallucinating
00:41:21BagderI blame linus for that too ;-)
00:42:09amiconnBagder: Just to make sure, I think Cassandra means the windows installer supporting all archoses so far, not the windows fw patcher for iriver
00:42:19CassandraGuess we'll have to check with Linus before we can get the most recent version into CVS.
00:42:31Bagderamiconn: yes, I meant that too
00:43:04*Cassandra thinks evil thoughts about including the fwpatcher in the installer.
00:43:10Bagderamiconn: now check the cvs table ;-)
00:43:13amiconnI still have that package laying around, but I don't think this can be checked in as-is
00:43:22stripwaxCassandra - someone was working on something like that already. Possibly 'paul'?
00:43:38Bagdernot really perfect, but...
00:43:41stripwax.. now that fwpatcher accepts cmdline args, and all...
00:43:45CassandraWell, we should check in whatever's currently being used to build them.
00:43:48amiconnBagder: linklinklinklinklinklinklink ???
00:43:59Bagderyes
00:44:02Bagderred

00:44:28Cassandrastripwax: Cool - even less work for me.
00:44:32HCli see a few that don't seem to have errors though...
00:44:36HClthe win32 sim...?
00:44:41HClfor the player

00:44:56 Join webguest48 [0] (~c3c9210d@labb.contactor.se)
00:44:57stripwaxwhatever happened to 'paul'?
00:45:06BagderHCl: they failed to link as well
00:45:10HCl#if CONFIG_HWCODEC == MASNONE
00:45:12CassandraI know him not.
00:45:14HClsorry, mispaste
00:45:24HClBagder: mmm, didn't see that, but ok
00:45:42CassandraIs it true that the H3xx doesn't have Optical in/out, or did I imagine that?
00:45:54HClno, i think thats correct
00:46:08*HCl sees the musquitos buzzing around him, thinks its time to move to his room
00:46:16CassandraWhat is this thing manufacturers have about removing features from their products.
00:46:31CassandraI wonder how difficult it is to retrofit a H300 screen to an H100.
00:46:37Bagdercost and/or DRM I guess
00:47:00CassandraIf it's DRM, they need to get a freaking backbone.
00:47:11CassandraWe're the consumers, not the record industry.
00:47:40Bagderyes, but then we are not forced to buy h3x0 players ;-)
00:47:47CassandraWell, quite.
00:48:02CassandraDoubt I'll be "upgrading", although a colour screen would be nice.
00:48:02 Quit webguest48 (Client Quit)
00:48:45stripwaxCassandr
00:48:51stripwaxoops!
00:53:02HClwhy is it still failing..
00:53:11HClah.
00:53:15CassandraSod's law.
00:53:53*HCl fixes
00:53:53HClyea
00:54:18HClIf it stinks, it's chemistry. If it moves, it's biology. If it doesn't work, its computerscience!
00:56:09CassandraIf it's false, it's statistics.

01:01:17Coldtoastnight
01:01:35 Quit stripwax (Read error: 104 (Connection reset by peer))
01:01:47HClwhat does the h300 sim look like? just the same as h100?
01:01:51Coldtoastwee! look at all that red. Makes me want to go watch War of the Worlds again
01:01:52Bagderheh, the script did wrong on two of the three win32 sim builds
01:02:14BagderHCl: yes, there's no adjustments made for the colour lcd done yet
01:02:21Bagderonly for size
01:02:50BagderI haven't actually ran it though
01:02:59HClohyea, size differs..
01:03:20HClbah... gay flatmate is playing loud music while its 1 am.. :/
01:03:33muesli-kick him like bekcham :D
01:03:36muesli-beckham
01:03:39Bagderok, the two existing red "link" table cells are due to script flaws
01:03:54Bagdershould be fixed in the next build
01:03:59HClk
01:04:10 Quit Coldtoast (Read error: 104 (Connection reset by peer))
01:04:12HCli think i fixed archos builds till the events are added
01:04:23HCli'll bugtest a bit tomorrow
01:04:25muesli-sorry, are you talking about working h300 display?
01:04:35HClmuesli-: sim
01:04:48muesli-you mean theoretically?
01:04:53HCli was just wondering cause the build table says it compiles an h300 simulator
01:04:53Bagderno
01:05:00Bagdermuesli-: the simulator builds and runs
01:05:18Bagderbut it isn't fully simulating a 300
01:05:26HClhardly simulating, i'd say
01:05:28HClbut anyways
01:05:43Bagderit simulates lots of the code that will run on the 300
01:05:50*HCl goes to nap/rest a bit
01:05:52Bagder"simulates"
01:05:52HClhm, okay
01:06:21muesli-kewl :D i am seriously thinking about exchanging my 140 for a 3xx
01:06:33BagderI wouldn't
01:06:43muesli-why not?
01:07:02Bagderthe only plus it has IMHO is the LCD
01:07:04CassandraCrap plastic case, lack of optical support.
01:07:17CassandraCrap control keys.
01:07:19muesli-i love its color display
01:07:24amiconnw00t!!
01:07:32*amiconn wouldn't have expected that
01:07:36muesli-sorry, amiconn ;)
01:08:03amiconnIt seems my greyscale drawing routines are running. This was the first try!
01:08:16muesli-:D
01:08:21CassandraShame the controller chips are different. If they weren't Rockbox could theoretically drive a 3xx display on a 1xx.
01:08:43amiconnCassandra: I wouldn't want that
01:08:59CassandraThat's OK. You wouldn't have to have it. :)
01:09:07amiconnMost colour lcds are battery eaters
01:09:17BagderI assume this is one
01:09:26muesli-yeah true..but watching jpg's would be great
01:09:26Bagderthe iriver firmware shuts off the h300 display
01:09:41amiconnThere *are* some that don't need a backlight to be readable, but so far I only know of one device series that uses them
01:09:42Bagderwhen the h100 displays without backlight
01:10:06CassandraAFAIK the 3xx series has a slightly longer advertised runtime than the 1xx.
01:10:15amiconn...and that are the Blackberry 72x0 cellphone/email push clients
01:10:28muesli-Cassandra because of the missing lcd remote probaby
01:10:29BagderCassandra: but that is at the price that you can't see what it does
01:10:29muesli-l
01:11:01amiconnI remember someone saying the H3x0 lcd is also pitch black when not backlighted
01:11:08amiconn...so it is the bad type
01:11:12Bagderamiconn: I don't think it is without backlight
01:11:13muesli-yeah, notthin 2 xc
01:11:14muesli-c
01:11:16BagderI think they shut it off
01:11:17Bagdercompletely
01:11:31CassandraI'll stcik with the 1xx.
01:11:31 Quit ghostiger (Remote closed the connection)
01:11:33muesli-yepp, u cant see anything
01:11:52muesli-but i would work with my 1x remote anyway
01:12:01CassandraUnless someone proposes to send me a 3xx so I can get the manual right.
01:12:06Bagderhehe
01:12:08muesli-but would love as i said before to watch jpgs
01:12:08Cassandra(That's so likely to happen)
01:12:14muesli-taken with my cam
01:12:25*Bagder runs off to bed
01:14:01*muesli- steals it
01:15:11CassandraWish I had an Ondio and a Player. Would make my life a lot easier.
01:18:04muesli-whats so special about an ondio?
01:18:49HClondio would be way too small for my needs..
01:19:58CassandraIt's hard to write the manual without one in front of me.
01:20:04CassandraNot impossible.
01:20:05CassandraBut hard.
01:20:36amiconnHmm, good news and bad news
01:20:51amiconnThe good news is that my code is working
01:21:44amiconnThe bad news is that it seems the 4-grey mode of the lcd seems to use the same mechanism to generate the grey levels as the grayscale lib for the archos does
01:22:00amiconni.e. dithering in the time-domain
01:22:47amiconnThat means it won't be possible to add our own temporal dithering to that and get more shades of grey
01:22:56Cassandra:(
01:23:12amiconnWe could still do this, but with the display itself in b&w mode
01:24:01amiconn...but that means the grayscale lib will have to take over the whole display; no overlay mode like on archos possible
01:24:17HClhrm
01:24:21HClmaybe a mode switch?
01:24:26CassandraYou can do overlay on Archos?
01:24:28HClbeing able to switch to b&w for dithering
01:24:35HCland just native 2bit grayscale normally
01:24:35HCl?
01:24:38amiconnHCl: Yes
01:25:01HClokay, sorry, i didn't see that you already had that in mind :)
01:25:14amiconnOn archos we don't have to switch, so the greyscale area can take just a part of the display, with the other parts still being able to display in b&w
01:25:25 Quit thegeek (Read error: 131 (Connection reset by peer))
01:25:25amiconn...using the core graphics routines
01:25:43amiconnThat won't be possible on iriver when we switch the mode
01:26:03 Join thegeek [0] (na@ti521110a080-1839.bb.online.no)
01:26:22CassandraYuck.
01:26:32amiconn...and of course my calculation of possible shades of grey is rendered invalid. It will be the same as on archos, provided the display doesn't flicker too much
01:28:46amiconnI will add a slight effect to make greyscale mode visible in the UI until more conversion is done
01:28:49HClwe could probably display the rest in black and white rather than the 2bit grayscale when switching to grayscale lib?
01:29:12HClor maybe even simulate the 2bit grayscale using the grayscale lib itself
01:29:14amiconnHCl: Yes, but that would require another set of graphics routines for b&w mode
01:29:40amiconnThe lcd framebuffer differs between the modes
01:29:40HClwhat about the second bit?
01:29:49HCloh, yea
01:29:59HClah well, never mind me
01:30:04HClyou're the expert on this :p
01:30:07amiconnBut I'd say, one step after the other
01:30:19amiconn(1) 4-grey mode for the ui and some plugins
01:30:21HCli'd better sleep
01:30:35amiconnThe grayscale lib may come later...
01:30:53HCli agree
01:32:00amiconnBtw, the slight effect will be a light grey background in the splash() boxes
01:32:21CassandraSounds good. :)
01:34:52amiconnI won't believe *how* slow the lcd is in 4-grey mode
01:35:13amiconnIt's significantly worse than in b&w mode when grey is actually used

08:15:21CassandraHello
08:16:30Slasherihi
08:16:38SlasheriHmm, can i enable logf for simulator?
08:23:15 Join B4gder [0] (~dast@static-213-115-255-230.sme.bredbandsbolaget.se)
08:23:23Slasherior how am i supposed to output debug information, DEBUGF?
08:23:44CassandraUnder Linux, printf should work.
08:23:55amiconnDEBUGF() it is
08:24:20CassandraWhat does logf do anyway?
08:24:25amiconnCassandra: printf() is bad because it isn't conditional, i.e. such code will fail to compile for target
08:24:54amiconnlogf() is similar to debugf(), but it logs into a memory buffer instead
08:25:05amiconn(and displays on the remote for H1x0)
08:25:18CassandraThat's kind of cool.
08:25:31Slasheriamiconn: Maybe logf can be defined also to DEBUGF for simulator targets?
08:26:04amiconnI agree, it's kinda redundant for the sims
08:26:08SlasheriEh.. :D after i ran the rockbox simulator, now my keyboard repeat is totally off :D
08:26:20amiconnImho this could be done another, possibly easier way though
08:26:33amiconnSlasheri: Did you kill it?
08:26:42Slasheriamiconn: yes, it crashed
08:26:59amiconnThe sim has to disable autorepeat for its own button handling
08:27:00Slasheriah, rerunning it worked
08:27:04Slasherinow repeat works too :)
08:27:05B4gderthe fact that logf works the same in the sim is good for debugging the logf functionality
08:27:23amiconnIt's supposed to restore it, but obviously can't if it crashes
08:29:42amiconnB4gder: Agreed, but otoh it would be easier to only have one debug output macro. It's rather unlike to use logf() and debugf() at once
08:29:55B4gderI agree
08:30:32B4gderwe could have an unset define to set when we want to debug logf
08:30:57B4gderand make logf() basically do printf() in the sim
08:31:40amiconnMy idea was to drop the LOGF() macros, and make DEBUGF() == logf() for logf builds, and DEBUGF() == debugf() for debug builds and the simulator
08:31:50B4gderworks for me
08:32:06B4gderbut then we probably need to cut out a few existing DEBUGF() calls
08:32:21amiconnHmm, perhaps
08:33:02amiconnOr we could make LOGF() == DEBUGF() for the sims,
08:33:19amiconn...and leave it like it is for target
08:34:06B4gdereither way, it also makes sense to use local versions for specific debugging, like the linux kernel sources do
08:34:15B4gderlike if you want to debug a specific module:
08:34:32amiconnDifferent topic: I'm still a bit undecided about the names for the various bitmap functions
08:34:35B4gderyou add a #define MYDEBUG DEBUFG() in the top of the file
08:35:25amiconnFor all current code, lcd_bitmap() would become lcd_mode_bitmap() with my current proposal
08:35:44amiconnErm, lcd_mono_bitmap() of course
08:36:01amiconnA bit long...
08:36:33amiconnB4gder: Local debugging makes sense, yes
08:45:56ashridahhrm. the vorbis codec doesn't do resampling yet does it
08:47:09B4gdergood to see the table going green again
08:47:56amiconn:)
08:48:18amiconnB4gder: What do you think about the bitmap function names?
08:49:01amiconnI have 4-grey mode already running on target btw, optimsed. Some functions are still missing tho, and the simulator display is looking funny
08:49:10B4gderI haven't read the proposal in detail lately so I don't remember
08:49:33amiconnhttp://www.rockbox.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/GraphicsAPI#Functions
08:49:52B4gderis the win32 sim capable of showing greyscale?
08:50:02amiconnSimulators only display the top half, stretched vertically by 2
08:50:12amiconnIt will be before I commit
08:50:54amiconnI can't do that for the X11 sim though, I'll at least adapt the x11 sim to map dark grey->black and light grey->white
08:51:10B4gderok
08:51:25B4gderI'll have to dig up some code that does colours in x11 and see how we can do it
08:51:32amiconnI have no clue how to use more than foreground and background pixels
08:52:02amiconnI wonder why the x11 sim uses such a starnge mechanism (setting/resetting individual pixels) instead of just using a bitmap
08:52:39B4gderI made it just because I didn't know how to do a bitmap
08:52:43amiconnThe windows sim uses a bitmap object; it's quite simple to adapt to greyscale
08:52:51amiconnAh ;)
08:54:03B4gderand apparently nobody has cared enough to fix it ;-)
08:54:12amiconnThe win32 simulator bitmap will need some more adaption when it comes to >8 bit depth
08:54:31amiconnShouldn't be too hard either

09:16:37CassandraMaybe there should be something in "Features we won't implement"?
09:17:01Coldtoastfine. I'll never mention it again

09:18:06amiconn_Like RLD was :)
09:18:19B4gderyes

09:21:39*B4gder stands corrected

09:22:22Cassandra(I'm thinking if I fix it, people will quit whining about it.)
09:22:32B4gderthe problem is to update a scrolling line with info, without resetting the scroll

09:23:02Cassandra*nods* Tricky, but it ought to be feasible.
09:23:07B4gderyes
09:23:14B4gdergood summary :-)
09:23:25CassandraOK. I'll have a look at it later in the day when I'm awake.
09:23:54amiconnB4gder: I have plans for a substantial rework of the scrolling
09:24:07B4gderfor multiple fonts etc?
09:24:23amiconnMultiple fonts will come even later
09:24:29B4gderok
09:24:37amiconnMy first steps will be pixel-wise positioning and right-clipping
09:24:41CassandraMmmm. Multiple fonts.
09:24:49amiconnSo we can have a scrolling box
09:24:52B4gderamiconn: ah, neat
09:25:04amiconnI need that for some of my ideas for menus & settings
09:25:14B4gderand scrolling in the splashes
09:25:16CassandraErm, btw, did anyone who knows something about the WPS check out that formatting patch?
09:25:35 Quit Musicmad ("Trillian (http://www.ceruleanstudios.com")
09:25:38B4gdernot to my knowledge
09:25:50B4gderbut the WPS using it looked nice
09:26:15Cassandra*nods* Wonder if it can do multiple formattings on the same line.
09:26:19CassandraI suspect not.
09:26:42amiconnB4gder: While at it, I could also try to add changing content without resetting the scroll pos, but this will get really tricky with proportional fonts
09:26:52B4gderyes
09:26:59B4gderbut some "flicker" must be accepted
09:28:03CassandraI'll leave it to you then ami. You know more about the display code than I do.
09:28:33B4gderamiconn is quickly becoming mr lcd ;-)
09:29:21CassandraI think he's got that one in the bag.
09:29:29amiconnCassandra: The wps code would still need fixing once scroll-text-change-without-reset is implemented
09:29:46amiconn...to actually use it
09:29:53Cassandra*nods*

09:32:44Coldtoastsorry to have been irritating B4gder. you're all doing such an awesome job on the whole rockbox project. and to be honest, rockboc is pretty much the only reason I didn't end up selling my player
09:32:50Coldtoastlaters
09:32:57B4gderno worries Coldtoast
09:32:57 Part Coldtoast
09:33:15B4gderanother issue we should fix is to alter some paths/dirs
09:33:30B4gderto make it easier to upgrade without erasing your own customized stuff
09:34:07Cassandra*nods*
09:34:14B4gdersince we use .rockbox for both stuff we deliver in releases and forces users to add custom thinhs in there
09:34:16B4gderthings
09:34:49B4gderbut I haven't figured out an approach I like for that yet
09:35:09CassandraI think two seperate dirs in the root is probably the best option.
09:35:20CassandraAlthough even that's clumsy.
09:35:20Bgerwhat about /.settings folter
09:35:33Bgeror other
09:35:38B4gderthe userdir should probably then be without dot
09:35:53Bgerfor example /.rockbox/settings
09:36:05Bgerand /.rockbox/settings/default <= this is overwritten
09:36:24B4gderthen plugins, codecs, fonts etc where would they go?
09:36:25CassandraBger: Don't like that. It's nice to be able to say to user "open up your jukebox and delete the foo folder"
09:36:56CassandraI think we should keep .rockbox for system data, and create a new dir for user stuff.
09:37:07B4gderI lean towards that too
09:37:07Cassandrarockbox-settings, perhaps?
09:37:15Bgeryou just say "open your /.rockbox/settings
09:37:42CassandraBger: You usually want to delete /.rockbox, but not the settings dir.
09:37:58Bgerand what about rockbox.iriver to be in the .rockboxfolder, i.e. /.rockbox/rockbox.iriver
09:38:26BgerCassandra you're right
09:38:33B4gderBger: that's a separate issue, but I could agree with that
09:39:11Cassandra*sighs* So much to fix.
09:39:21B4gderindeed
09:39:55CassandraWhy does fixing one thing cause three more issues to raise their heads. It's like that scene from Fantasia.
09:41:07CassandraHmm. I think I favour "rockbox-config" over "rockbox-settings". WPS bitmaps aren't really settings as such.
09:41:39amiconnI *never* delete /.rockbox ...
09:42:00B4gderthen you have some old cruft in there by now ;-)
09:42:13CassandraI do it all the time. Clean out old plugins etc.
09:42:36CassandraAnd it often solves weird problems that users are having.
09:42:46amiconnB4gder: No, I usually delete old files from time to time
09:42:52B4gderok
09:43:42CassandraIt's our OS directory. Definitely has bitrot problems from time to time.

09:45:50 Nick Lynx_awy is now known as Lynx_ (~lynx@tina-10-4.genetik.uni-koeln.de)
09:47:15B4gderbut... I guess that would force us to start checking for things in two dirs instead of the single one we do today
09:47:48CassandraScrew backwards compatibility. :)

09:49:01B4gderno
09:49:14B4gderjust some added logic that isn't present today
09:50:23CassandraI think this whole thing falls in the "when we get around to it" category.
09:50:30B4gderyeah
09:51:16CassandraI had a preliminary shot at converting the manual to LaTeX the other day.
09:51:35CassandraTeX choked on the output. I think that one's going to be interesting.
09:51:43CassandraIn the Chinese curse sense.
09:51:50B4gder:-O
09:52:33CassandraBadger: You release manager these days?
09:53:05B4gderpossibly, but I think I can shake zagor into doing it
09:54:02CassandraBasically I'd like to have a week or two's notice (and feature freeze if possible) before release.
09:54:19B4gderyes, I like that too
09:54:24CassandraSo I can whack the manual on the head and release simultaniously with 2.5.
09:54:29B4gderand I think we should have it as soon as possible
09:54:57CassandraI agree. We're ready for a new release.

10:22:03LinusNa long time ago, my brother was playing his stereo really loud, and my father cut the main power to the house, just to make a point
10:22:36HClLinusN: heh
10:22:40LinusNwhat he didn't know was that i had been hacking all night on my c64, without saving
10:22:53HClwell, its the stereo in the livingroom
10:22:54LinusNi was *this* close to strangling him
10:23:04HClwithout it turned on, we don't have sound on our tv
10:23:13HCland it actually costs more power to turn it off and on than to just keep it on
10:23:19HCland its very annoying when you want to watch tv
10:23:32LinusNno remote to the stereo?
10:23:39HClits just an amplifier

10:23:49Cassandralinus: :(
10:24:06HCljust the crap that my flatmates didn't need anymore, hooked up to be a stereo set for the tv
10:24:31HCli'm already happy we got stereo now, heh, a while ago only one speaker worked
10:26:49LinusNCassandra: would you have time to work on making the installer scripts more generic?
10:28:43CassandraLinus: Probably.

10:51:19amiconnCassandra: Use 3.3.5 for SH1
10:52:09amiconnBoth 3.0.x and 3.4.x produce bigger binaries than 3.3.x on SH1
10:52:18CassandraOK. Will build that and try again.

11:20:20HCli know
11:20:26HClby checking the elapsed field, right?
11:20:41amiconnJust let the playback code count the seconds played (it probably knows best) and store it in the id3 struct (if it's not already there)
11:21:02amiconnThe you can decide at the track unbuffer event whether to up th eplaycount
11:21:06amiconn*Then
11:21:10LinusNi think the trackchange event should broadcast a SYS_TRACK_CHANGED message

15:15:39SatNavdo i have to patch cywin and look for that package or something?

15:24:04SatNavwhoa. well good to know it wasn't entirely my bad :)
15:25:03amiconnWell, a number of them are irrelevant for building (stuff like README etc), but some are relevant
15:25:55amiconnE.g., a source package wouldn't allow building uart_boot because the Makefile is missing.... etc pp
15:26:30amiconnI'll try to fix that
15:26:40SatNavi see: cool
15:26:55amiconnBtw, the FILES mechanism is cumbersome. This tends to always lag behind
15:27:31amiconnBagder: Couldn't the source packages being built from CVS (using cvs export or something like that)?
15:27:33B4gderamiconn: you have a better idea on how to do it?
15:27:46B4gderyes it could
15:28:14amiconnThis way it would be automatically in sync with cvs
15:28:26B4gderit would include more files than today though
15:28:32amiconnHmm?
15:28:37B4gderlike firmware/test/
15:28:51amiconnYes, that's one of the dirs that are missing
15:29:00amiconnI don't see a problem including it
15:29:14B4gderno, not me either
15:29:16amiconnThe other is uisimulator/common/player_icons

16:09:27amiconnLinusN: There is a nice section in the UDA1380 datasheet: "8.12 Plop prevention"
16:09:58amiconnI think most of the playback code dealing with plop prevention is based on that...
16:10:31CassandraHmmm.
16:10:36LinusNbut that isn't the kind of plops we have, is it?
16:10:48CassandraWonder if they knew that plop is a kids word for defecation.

16:28:19LinusNperhaps
16:28:34LinusNwe need a stable tag database implementation
16:29:05CassandraIt seems to me that the code is still maturing quite fast, and if we can leave it as "unofficial" that gives us more room to change things about before the next release.

20:06:33t0masscream if you don't like it...
20:06:56t0maswhy not power off after a few seconds on players with sw_poweroff if we have an unhandled exception?

20:18:06amiconnrubberglove: They don't get informed
20:18:12amiconn(currently)
20:18:22amiconnLinus is working on changing that
20:18:57amiconnt0mas: It would be better to reboot on a button press instead
20:19:16*Cassandra wonders if we could have a three finger salute somewhere in the button driver.
20:19:43amiconn(Play/Stop are the only possible buttons, since they can be checked without the button driver working
20:20:34amiconnOr we could mimic archos here: Holding Stop for 10 seconds to power off
20:21:02rubbergloveamiconn: ah. thanks. . . i'll stop searching through the code....for now.
20:21:28 Part rubberglove
20:22:41amiconn4-grey screendump feature is working...
20:25:12t0masamiconn: how do I wait for the stop button?
20:25:33amiconnYou have to check the port pin yourself (low-level)
20:25:48amiconnYou can't rely on the button driver in a crash situation
20:26:31t0masI know
20:26:39t0masthat's why I wanted to just wait 10 seconds or something
20:27:01amiconnThe 10 seconds are also a bit tricky, as you can't rely on the button tick either
20:27:10t0mashm...
20:27:13amiconns/button tick/timer tick/
20:27:18t0masthen just wait for stop and ~HOLD
20:27:54amiconnYou can use a delay loop, but that depends on the clock frequency (of course)
20:28:21t0masor do the stop button? and check for !hold?
20:29:08amiconnWe do such things in crash situations on archos, but not consistently
20:29:30amiconn...i.e. we do it in panicf(), but not in UIE()
20:30:06amiconnAnd btw, switching of isn't as good as rebooting
20:30:28amiconnThe hd might be unparked, and switching off forces it to do an emergency park
20:32:53t0masok, but does iriver support rebooting=
20:33:03t0masdidn´t find that in powermanagement code..
20:33:10t0mas(rolo?)
20:34:07amiconnRoLo might be impossible, as it requires the ata driver and file system access working
20:34:58t0masok, how do I reboot then?
20:35:53amiconnWe would need to jump into a certain address in the ROM
20:35:59amiconnLinus should know where
20:36:15t0masok, so a simple inline asm to jump?
20:36:33amiconnYes I think so
20:36:47t0masbut... how does the bootloader deal with already init-ed hardware?
20:37:20amiconnI think the bootloader does its own init
20:37:30amiconn...so it shouldn't matter
20:37:54amiconnOtherwise we would have to de-init this or that before rebooting
20:37:57t0masok, then we need Linus to tell us where to jump to
20:38:11t0masand we need some way to check the stop button... and hold switch
20:38:28t0masas just short pressing the stop button is ok with me... as long as it checks for the holdswitch
20:39:23amiconnWhy do you think checking Hold is necessary?
20:39:56dionoea'lo
20:39:58t0maswell... you can accidentally press stop short when you get it out of your pocket
20:40:14t0masand then you won't see the error...
20:40:17amiconnThis check will happen only if crashed...
20:40:20dionoeais the rockboy plugin still under developement ? (great plugin btw :) )
20:40:21t0masand long press stop is difficult to check
20:40:26amiconnAh, that you mean
20:40:41t0masso combined short press hold button would be nice
20:40:57amiconnWe could check for combined Play and Stop press
20:41:03t0masas you normally set it to hold when it's in your pocket
20:41:14amiconnI don't use hold
20:41:24t0masthat would be ok too... but wouldn't stop !hold be more convinient?
20:41:36amiconnstop & play & !hold ;)
20:41:40t0mashuh?? why don't you use hold?
20:41:48t0masyes, that's ok too
20:41:56amiconnI don't need it, and it irritates me all the time
20:42:03*t0mas starts reading button.c for the ports to check
20:42:07amiconn...like: Why the *** do the buttons not work???
20:42:20t0masthere is an icon in the screen... lol...
20:42:36t0masI have my iriver in my pocket a lot
20:42:45amiconnI don't
20:42:58amiconnImho it's too bulky for a pocket...
20:44:12t0mastry skater wear ;-)
20:44:26t0mashm... and it fits my swimming pants too...
20:44:28amiconnif ((GPIO1_READ & 0x62) == 0x60)
20:44:37amiconnThat's Play & Stop & !hold
20:44:49amiconnErm, wrong
20:44:58amiconnif ((GPIO1_READ & 0x62) == 0)
20:45:01t0masok, but is GPIO1_READ usable in the crashed state?
20:45:25amiconnIt's a plain i/o port, so it should always work

20:45:54t0masand GPIO1_READ is a macro?
20:46:38amiconnYes it is
20:46:47amiconnSee mcf5249.h
20:47:09t0mastnx
20:48:20t0masis it a problem to check the port in a while (1) loop?
20:48:34t0masshould I check it with some interval for example?
20:48:48t0masor can the cpu handle the continuous checking?
20:48:57amiconnNo, you can just use a simple while loop
20:49:17t0masok, then I just need to restart command from Linus...
20:49:24t0masor I need to find it out myself :)
20:49:33*t0mas starts looking around...
20:49:56amiconnWe can't do much to save energy, and we don't need to give time to other threads, so busy polling is ok here
20:50:37t0mashm... energy saving isn't an issue in the crashed state :)
20:51:10amiconnWe could try to disable the pll in order to run at 11 MHz
20:52:07t0masyes... that would be nice...
20:52:14amiconnIf the cpu happens to run at 120 MHz when the crash occurs, it will get quite warm...
20:52:21t0masI know
20:52:24t0masit did last week...
20:52:31t0masand I had no paperclip
20:52:41t0masso I had to wait for a few hours to get the battery empty...
20:53:08amiconnJust add the first 2 statements of the set_cpu_frequency() default: case before your polling loop
20:53:16amiconnDCR = (DCR & ~0x01ff) | 1;
20:53:23amiconnPLLCR = 0x00000000;
20:53:59t0masok
20:54:04amiconnThe first sets the correct DRAM refresh for 11 MHz, the second sets the pll to bypass (11 MHz)
20:54:23amiconnEverything else doesn't matter, resp. might cause nasty effects
20:54:28t0mashmh.. I knew the second 1
20:55:15amiconnBtw, someone had a good idea this weekend, but I don't remember who it was
20:55:25amiconnWe could set the cpu to 11 MHz while on USB
20:55:32t0masyes
20:55:35t0masand when paused
20:55:49t0maslinus already talked about that some time... but never implemented it
20:55:49amiconnI wouldn't do this
20:55:58amiconnThe UI might get sluggish
20:56:18t0mashm... we talked about 22 Mhz as usefull for the non decoding, but still pcm filling state
20:56:36t0masSlasheri thought it was possible to feed pcm... at 22 mhz
20:56:47amiconnLinus wants to do some experiments how low we can go and still have a responsive UI
20:57:01hardeeplimbo
20:57:02t0masyes, that would be a good idea
20:57:03amiconnI would settle for 30..35 MHz
20:57:18amiconn...for the unboosted state
20:57:21t0masoh... and I was looking at the audio thread debug last week
20:57:26amiconnNo additional state
20:57:26t0masthe trackcount doesn't go down
20:57:42t0masbut maybe it's already fixed
20:57:59amiconnNo idea...
20:58:09amiconnI'm busy with greyscale gfx
20:58:39t0masWOW
20:58:47t0mashas Slasheri optimized playback a lot?
20:59:05t0masI'm looking at the audio thread debug... and it has a way lower boostrate now...
20:59:54Slasherit0mas: Hmm, 22 MHz might be possible

21:03:02amiconnThe 10 track limit is in the playback code; I already talked to Slasheri that this might be too low

21:04:00t0mas4 bytes? 1 pointer?
21:04:08amiconnNo, it's quite a bit more
21:04:15t0mashm... > 100 bytes?
21:04:28Lear4-500 bytes at least, I think...
21:04:35t0maspfew...
21:04:40t0masthen 100 might be a but much...
21:04:41amiconnsizeof struct track_info per track
21:04:50*t0mas checks the struct
21:05:01LearWhere is the track info, btw? I don't remember... :)
21:07:14hardeepi'm looking into fixing the problem with resume info only being saved while in the wps. The mpeg/playback code seems like the ideal place for this, anyone disagree?
21:07:35t0masI agree hardeep
21:07:40t0masLear: I don't know
21:07:40t0mashaha
21:07:45 Quit Zagor ("Client exiting")
21:07:48t0masdamn... 9 days no rockbox...
21:08:02t0masand I start forgetting places :(
21:08:29amiconnt0mas: If I counted correctly it takes 1108 bytes per track
21:08:49t0masdamn...
21:08:55LearThat much? I can see 600 on a quick look...
21:08:56t0masthen 100 takes a lot of mem..
21:09:13amiconnsizeof (struct track_info) = sizeof(struct mp3entry) + sizeof(struct mp3info) + 40;
21:09:17t0masamiconn: http://pastebin.ca/16867
21:09:35amiconnstruct mp3entry is the biggest sucker by far
21:09:39amiconn- 896 bytes
21:09:54LearDidn't do sizeof, but a second look made it more like 800. :)
21:10:07amiconnYes, but as I said users managed to hit 16 with 2 MB ram
21:10:13t0masamiconn: is it on stack now? as we can't just dump 100 * 1108 = 110.800 on the stack..
21:10:24LearCutting 100 bytes per entry should be easy though. MP3 TOC can be found in both mp3entry and mp3info...
21:10:28amiconnNo, it's a static array
21:10:39Leart0mas: not stack, static, so that's not a problem.
21:10:39t0masauw...
21:10:49amiconnWe have 16 times the ram, and 16*16 = 256...
21:11:05amiconnBut I'd limit to 100 because a CD can have a max of 99 tracks
21:11:06t0masok, maybe 50 is a good middle?
21:11:19LearBut increasing the MAX_TRACK for 32 MB platforms makes sense. I'd say 30 should be plenty. :)
21:11:31t0mas30 / 50 = 0.6 MB per file
21:11:36amiconn...and "albums" with such tiny tracks are usually rips from language learning CDs
21:12:05t0masamiconn: but we don't need to load every exceptional big album in ram fully...
21:12:30amiconnHmm, if it behaves correctly otherwise, you're right
21:12:35t0masand the next one... amiconn: http://pastebin.ca/16867
21:12:41amiconnIt might happen that it doesn't
21:12:46t0masit behaves perfectly with 10 now
21:12:52t0masand most of my albums are > 10
21:12:57amiconnOn archos we have the problem that the 16th track repeats over and over
21:13:33amiconn...until you skip once. Then all is fine again (until the next time with 16 tracks buffered
21:13:35amiconn)
21:13:54t0masok... and my pastebin dump?
21:14:16t0mascan we jump to the address where the bootloader loads to?
21:14:40amiconnNo, this would be rockbox
21:14:51t0masyes, is that a problem?
21:15:08t0masoh wait... we want to re-init
21:15:09amiconnYes, rockbox might be partially overwritten
21:15:11t0masnevermind ;)
21:15:12Slasherihuh, over 16 tracks on 2 MB buffer? :D
21:15:18amiconn...because it behaved erratically
21:15:31t0masok, so jump to the beginning of the rom?
21:15:32amiconnSlasheri: Yes, as I said - language learning CDs
21:15:36amiconnt0mas: Yes
21:15:37Slasheriamiconn: ah, ok
21:15:55t0masamiconn: linus knows the addres... and with some searching... I might find it too :)
21:15:56amiconnThese CDs often have tracks with a few seconds length
21:15:56Slasheriamiconn: just change the track limit to something bigger if you feel that way :)
21:16:19t0masI would go to 50... not 100...
21:16:29t0masas it works fine when not everything is buffered
21:16:33amiconnt0mas: Apart from that, you copied from an old init sequence
21:16:40amiconnThe 0x30000000 is wrong
21:16:50amiconn(but works even though it is wrong)
21:17:50amiconnWe should try to correct the behavior on archos too (just don't use the whole buffer when the track number limit is reached)
21:18:03amiconnThen we could lower the maximum on archos...
21:18:16t0masamiconn: I copied it from viewcvs...
21:18:25t0masas I don't have my own files here...
21:18:29amiconnHmm?

21:23:09LinusNyes
21:23:15t0masok

21:24:05LinusNyes, it should be safe

21:24:36Learyou do know that converting between lossy formats is a bad idea as such? ;)
21:24:44t0maserm...
21:24:56t0masamiconn, LinusN: we rolo for the other devices if ON is pressed
21:25:02t0masshould I just add that to iriver too?
21:25:09LinusNsure
21:25:10Learother than that, it depends on the source. No point in using, say q6 for ogg for a 128 kbps wma... :)
21:25:29LinusNamiconn: yes it should be fixed, but it is safe for now
21:25:59t0masamiconn: you agree on just checking the ON button and the hold button? like archos devices do?
21:26:05t0masand rolo?
21:26:18ghode|afkLear, i know but rockbox won't support wma anytime soon, and i actually have some wma albums i want to listern to ;/ my wma's aew 192 btw]

21:27:46LinusNroloing is a bad idea imho
21:27:53amiconnLinusN: Yep
21:27:57t0mashmz... it does rolo load there... but we can also do system_reboot ?
21:28:03t0masah... ok, you agree :)
21:28:06amiconnWe should try to restart the ROM instead
21:28:07t0masslow webchat :X
21:28:08Learghode, then I'd use something that gives about the same bitrate, say q5.5 or 6.0.
21:28:12amiconn(also possible on archos)
21:28:24ghode|afkok, any idea on command line settings?
21:28:26amiconn...an jump to 0x00000000
21:28:32Learpossibly a little lower. Try!
21:28:35t0masso change both archos things to system_reboot() ?
21:28:44t0masand add the iriver to it?
21:29:00HClghode|afk: i'd just get a new rip of the albm
21:29:01HClalbum*
21:29:14LearFor command line, just use -q 5, or whatever you prefer. There are other options, but I wouldn't bother about them (except for the tagging ones that is).
21:29:24LinusNt0mas: each target has its own UIE()

21:32:29t0masare there others for archos devices?
21:32:53HClghode|afk: can't you get them off the internet?
21:32:58LinusNUIE contains asm code
21:33:02HClwhat album do you need?

21:35:06LinusNyes
21:35:07t0masamiconn suggested ON STOP and !hold
21:35:17t0mas* ON STOP
21:35:22LinusNstop is a bad idea
21:35:34t0mashm... the cgi chat doesn't display the plus sign here :|
21:35:36CassandraHCl: Good for you. Doesn't hold for others. However, in general, it's a good idea for the Rockbox project to have as cleae a llegal status as possible. It would be very annoying if people were to accuse Rockbox of encouraging piracy.
21:35:38t0masLinusN: shy?
21:35:49HClyea, i guess
21:35:57LinusNbecause stop is read by the button interrupt handler
21:36:05LinusNwhich might have crashed too
21:36:15amiconnLinusN: Hmm?
21:36:22t0masif ((GPIO1_READ & 0x62) == 0)
21:36:30amiconnOf course we have to check low-level, i.e. reading the port
21:36:30LinusNon and hold are the only buttons that can be read with port i/o
21:36:45t0masLinusN: stop can be read separate too afaik?
21:36:52LinusNnot on iriver
21:36:52amiconnOn (=Play), Off(=Stop=) and hold...
21:36:59amiconnLinusN: Yes it can
21:37:03*LinusN is silly
21:37:26amiconn...but On and !hold might be sufficient

21:39:23amiconn...and Linus wasn't silly
21:39:32amiconn...we can't use Stop

21:41:53amiconnNot the symbolic button constant, the 'data' check is the interesting part
21:42:12amiconnYou can also check your iriver (debug -> view I/O ports)

23:46:16HClwith the feature freeze that was suggested and all.
23:46:54Bagderthere's no freeze yet
23:48:58***Saving seen data "./dancer.seen"
23:49:37HClokay good
23:49:53HCli want to try to get these few last features in to give all our 2.5 only users a little extra
23:50:17HClthough i guess without an up to date search engine its not *that* advanced yet. but still usable
23:50:32Bagderpersonally, I want it for stats
23:50:37Bagdernot searches
23:50:45HClrating?
23:50:48HClor you mean playcount
23:50:51HCland lastplayed
23:50:57HCli haven't implemented lastplayed yet..
23:51:07HClbut yea
23:51:25HClthats gonna be my next thing, trying to make it possible to display it on the wps
23:51:44Bagderthat'll be fun!
23:51:59HClyup :)
23:52:14HClthough i really should improve the playcount handling first
23:52:20HClbut i can do that afterwards
23:52:32HClit still counts songs that you skip

23:54:19pillhola
23:55:09HClouch, thats not good :(
23:55:10 Quit TCK (Read error: 110 (Connection timed out))
23:55:12hardeephmmm, resume is off by several seconds on the iriver... looks like offset is being updated too early
23:55:12HClhits 0... why.. :/
23:55:12stripwax_hmm... what's the range of mas_codec_readreg(0xC) .. looks like 0..45 ?!
23:55:37pilljust a suggestion: would it be possible to add a "queue from" option in the playlist/queue context menu, so that when you choose a track, playback will go on to the next track after the one enqueued?
23:55:48pilli don't know how hard it would be to implement
23:56:20*HCl scratches his head...
23:56:40hardeeppill: probably not too hard, it could be implemented the same way as move to next folder
23:57:26pillyeah probably
23:57:35stripwax_ah nemmind. I'm a fool. found MAX_PEAK
