#rockbox log for 2005-08-22

00:00:28amiconnLinusN: Do you remember where these SWAB16() and SWAB32() macros are used on iriver?
00:00:30Bagderhshah: that happens when you've changed things that were change in the repo
00:00:40]RowaN[leftright: that would b a waste of time and space, and needless duplication
00:00:54]RowaN[and you cant sync coz id3v1 has 30char limit
00:01:10stripwax_just looking at cvs logs for songdb.pl −− we're on database v3 already?! so are both the TagDatabase and DatabaseV2 wiki pages out of date?
00:01:34Bagderstripwax_: I would guess that only HCl can answer to that
00:01:49Bagdertoo many things in db land happens without docs

00:02:03stripwax_Bagder - yeah
00:02:17stripwax_]RowaN[ - how long is the file?
00:02:25]RowaN[a few minutes i think
00:02:28Paul_The_NerdJust wait it out
00:02:40Paul_The_NerdIt takes quite a bit longer than the file.
00:02:44]RowaN[5 "tracks" in the midi
00:03:05Paul_The_NerdLet me know if you get any audible output, or a resulting file or anything

00:05:35Paul_The_NerdSee, takes a while.
00:05:38Paul_The_NerdAny results?
00:06:24]RowaN[wheres it supposed to be? root?
00:06:39Paul_The_NerdI do not know
00:06:47Bagderopenneo surely has very little rockbox resemblence these days
00:06:57Paul_The_NerdIn fact, it's only on someone else's "I think it's supposed to..." that I even assume there *might* be a file
00:07:05]RowaN[i dont see anything
00:07:12Paul_The_NerdI suspect that it renders it to WAV, but never actually saves it, or something
00:07:14amiconnI have shortened the SWAB32 code on iriver from 38 to 18 bytes, with asm...
00:08:01]RowaN[oh well, i tried =]
00:08:27Paul_The_NerdYeah
00:08:41]RowaN[and failed ='[
00:08:43Paul_The_NerdI look forward to MIDI support should it ever come, but I'm not gonna lose sleep over it.
00:09:09stripwax_Bagder - lol. yeah ,what *do* those options actually do :-)
00:09:20leftrightjusr curious, what would you use MIDI for ?
00:09:35]RowaN[midi = digital sheet music
00:09:40]RowaN[fun to hear sometimes =]
00:10:11Paul_The_NerdMusic from a bunch of old SCUMM games, here.
00:10:57leftrightwhat would a practical application of it be on your player ?
00:11:43Paul_The_NerdHow do you mean leftright?
00:12:03leftrightwhy would you have MIDI on a DAP
00:12:27stripwax_to listen to presumably
00:13:23Paul_The_NerdYeah
00:13:27Paul_The_NerdSame reason I have any other format.
00:13:40leftrightmp3 =midi ?
00:14:08Paul_The_Nerdmidis are very very much smaller, not counting the patchset, and if you have enough of them it makes up for it.
00:14:10stripwax_Bagder - thanks, by the way. songdb.pl seems realy slow but then again, I'm running it on a 133Mhz nas
00:14:32Bagderstripwax_: yeah, its the dreaded crc stuff that makes it slow
00:14:38Bagderwe should make an option to disable that
00:14:47Bagderthat's only needed when the runtimedb is used
00:15:26Bagderit loads 32K out of every song and runs a crc32 on it
00:15:44stripwax_Bagder - yep; that's what I'd like to try out anyway so I guess I need it to be slow ... does songdb.pl still rebuild the entire tag database every time it's run? e.g. if I rerun it again, will it take ages next time too?
00:15:54Bagderyes
00:16:10Bagderlots of room for improvement ;-)
00:16:49stripwax_definitely. hrm, maybe I'll take a look at it
00:21:07Bagderok, I added a −−nocrc option

00:41:37]RowaN[whats rockbox like on iriver h320 compared to on h120?
00:42:37]RowaN[or.. not on h320 yet?
00:42:47LinusNnot on h320 yet
00:43:02]RowaN[h300 isnt h320?
00:44:21LinusNyou're referring to the daily builds?

00:50:25Paul_The_NerdY'know, I've always meant to ask, what's the non-effort iFP stuff?
00:50:38stripwax_"non-effort"?
00:51:27Paul_The_NerdYeah, there's a page that says little more than "We're not porting to this, but this page is here to collect data for the non-effort."
00:51:57stripwax_heh, yeah. well, the firmware's decrypted but I think that's probably about it
00:53:13Paul_The_NerdI was just curious why the page is there if it's officially not a target, or maybe just why it isn't one.
00:54:01LinusNthe guys working on the decryption used the wiki to document it
00:54:16Paul_The_NerdIt says 'overall project | not happening, see above' but "above" offers no more information.
00:54:22*Paul_The_Nerd shrugs.
00:54:27Paul_The_NerdJust a curiosity thing, really.

01:12:05edkentHi. Today rockbox(running on an IRiver 140) has stopped recognising when the usb cable is unplug, and just sits there in usb mode. This happens in both the bootloader usb mode and the main firmware, and the only way to get out is to push the reset button. The original IRiver firmware still works fine. Any ideas anyone? Thanks.
01:12:29LinusNthis was fixed a few hours ago
01:12:47LinusNtry the bleeding edge build or wait a few hours for the next daily
01:13:13edkentThanks, will give it a try...
01:13:20LinusNenjoy

01:16:41leftrightsire=sure
01:18:22leftrightedkent: to be sure, the bleeding edge builds are located at the bottom of the web page
01:18:53LinusNedkent: wait, you say this happens in the boot loader usb mode as well?
01:19:15LinusNmaybe i didn't read your error description thoroughly
01:19:34edkentyep, positive
01:19:54LinusNthe "stays-in-usb" bug is not fixed, and seems to only affect a few of the players out there

01:20:41edkenthmm. It only started doing it today after I installed bootloader v5
01:21:03edkentHave tried going back to v3 with no joy though
01:21:06LinusNwhich loader did you have before that?
01:21:09LinusNok
01:21:56edkentIt was v3. Worked fine then, but not any more
01:22:18LinusNit seems that rockbox doesn't detect the usb in the correct way
01:22:51XavierGrHmm I just got a very annoying bug.
01:22:52LinusNbut i have problems finding out how we do it wrong, because it works on all my players... :-(
01:23:04edkentAnything i can do to help?
01:23:57XavierGrI just recorded something within the iriver firmware and now Rockbox refuses to boot.
01:24:17XavierGrUSB works on the bootloader but when I start the player it hangs.
01:24:18LinusNedkent: i'd like to have your email address
01:24:24amiconnLinusN: I noticed a bug in the file type association
01:24:25LinusNXavierGr: scandisk
01:24:33LinusNamiconn: oh?
01:24:35XavierGrStrange is that the iRiver firmware is booting fine..
01:24:47amiconnIt happens since you bound .nfo to the text viewer
01:25:03LinusNamiconn: oops :-)
01:25:09amiconnI have a disk.info file in my archos root (guess what that is ;) ).
01:25:18amiconnIt shouldn't show up as supported...
01:25:51amiconnObviously .info != .nfo
01:26:37LinusNoh
01:26:52midkgood going, LINUS. sheesh! :)
01:27:11LinusNmy amiga doesn't even have usb
01:27:21XavierGrAlso my main concern is that I think my player is faulty...
01:27:29amiconnLinusN: Mine has :)
01:27:43amiconnHigway USB with Poseidon USB stack

01:28:35XavierGrLinus in the normal firmware when you set the volume (from 30 - 40) can you hear a faint pop whenever the volume changes?
01:28:52LinusNXavierGr: haven't tried
01:29:10LinusNyours does?
01:29:34XavierGrI was waiting Slasheri's pop fix. When I found that I get again the starting pop. Then I loded iRiver and it pops too.
01:29:47Paul_The_NerdAre you listening through the remote?
01:29:51XavierGrAlso the volume change pops in the high volumes
01:30:04XavierGrNo i know about the remote which it pops too.
01:30:14Paul_The_NerdOkay, I figured you would, but you never know.
01:30:16edkentLinusN: Would be possible to add a manual usb mode exit command until the bug is fixed?
01:30:28leftrightI'm using latest and it doesn't pop
01:30:55XavierGrleftright: I believe you I just say that even in iriver firmware it pops.
01:30:55LinusNedkent: i'll look into it
01:31:03edkentThanks
01:31:11amiconnLinusN: wut have you done to the fmr builds?
01:31:41XavierGrAnd I remember that some days before (though I am not sure I use rockbox a lot) there wasn't any popping in iriver firmware.
01:31:50amiconnHmm, no A-B for Ondio?
01:32:14LinusNamiconn: /usr/local/sh-gcc/lib/gcc-lib/sh-elf/3.3.4/../../../../sh-elf/bin/ld: region FLASH is full (build-recorderv2/apps/rombox.elf section .rodata)
01:32:39LinusNamiconn: not yet, i guess he didn't have an ondio to try with (keymap props as usual)
01:32:46LinusNprobs
01:34:09amiconnHmm, the A-B repeat event code sends an event on every tick??!!??
01:34:35LinusNyes i think it does that right now
01:35:28amiconnWho is Bj�n Stenberg? ;)
01:36:31amiconn(aka why did you change that line to utf-8?)
01:37:03LinusNwhy i did it?
01:37:12LinusNor why Ray Lambert did it?
01:39:04LinusNfixed now
01:39:52LinusNi committed the a-b repeat just to have it in 2.5, i intend to clean up some things before release
01:40:28amiconnLinusN: The error for fm and v2 is a different one:
01:40:36amiconn Build firmware file
01:40:36amiconnerror: max firmware size is 200KB!
01:40:36amiconnmake[1]: *** [build-fmrecorder/ajbrec.ajz] Error 255
01:40:59LinusN error: max firmware size is 200KB!
01:41:00amiconnbooom! :(
01:41:02LinusNouch
01:41:26LinusNi guess we have a problem
01:42:00LinusNi'll look into that tomorrow, now i have to get some sleep
01:42:00amiconnYes we do, and I expected that rather sooner than later with the current rate of featuritis
01:42:10LinusN:-)
01:43:08amiconnBtw, did you actually try if the 200KB limit still holds for the fmr?
01:43:08 Quit edkent ()
01:43:31amiconnIiuc this was tested on player back then, and perhaps on rec v1
01:43:42amiconnI know that it does not hold for Ondio
01:44:09LinusNamiconn: i did try it the last time i applied the patch, but it must have grown since then
01:44:52LinusNanyway, i gotta sleep now, cu tomorrow
01:44:56XavierGrwow only 200kB?
01:45:01XavierGrbye and good night/
01:45:25 Part LinusN
01:45:50amiconnI warned him this evening... [23:24:34] <amiconn> LinusN: 1632 bytes left for fmrecorder... (gcc 3.3.6)
01:47:35leftrightguess there's going to be some culling then :)
01:48:29XavierGrso is that going to be the end for fmrecorder improvements?
01:49:08amiconnI think it is the beginning of serious cleanup & optimisation
01:51:05amiconnInteresting: I'm using sh-elf-gcc 3.3.6, and leads to slightly smaller binaries than 3.3.1 used on the server.
01:51:13amiconngcc 3.3.6 makes it fit!
01:51:25amiconnIt is a really really tight fit though:
01:51:54amiconn200KB == 204800 bytes. Binary size is 204768 bytes, so there are 32 bytes left (!!)
01:52:47XavierGr!!
01:53:15XavierGrso if you make a char array 33 characters longer it will hit error. haha
01:53:18 Quit leftright ("(later)")
01:53:19 Quit ender` (Read error: 110 (Connection timed out))
01:54:09XavierGrIt will be fun to see those 32 bytes will be used to... :p
01:54:20XavierGr^where
02:00
02:02:50Paul_The_NerdI kinda love the fact that it's 32 bytes left. A nice, upstanding number.
02:09:46amiconnI'll look into the code where to save some bytes. I already saved 48 (ok not much, but that's just one source file)
02:10:21Paul_The_NerdSo, it's time for an audit, 'eh?
02:12:51amiconnI know there are more inefficient things and unnecesary code duplication
02:13:22amiconnI consider it a serious bug if rockbox doesn't build due to being too fat
02:15:38Paul_The_NerdIt's kinda sad that it's hitting the size limitation.
02:17:23amiconnWell, only partially
02:17:38 Quit ]RowaN[ ()
02:17:48amiconnIt forces us to optimise, and optimisation is a good thing
02:18:20Paul_The_NerdQuite true, I guess.
02:18:34amiconnI have some candidates which I know will save at least a little space
02:20:15amiconn(1) Hunting unused functions. I already did this once, I will do it again
02:20:26Paul_The_NerdDo functions get orphaned often?
02:21:00amiconn(2) Turning empty functions (per platform) into empty #defines. Saves 4 bytes for the function itself, plus some space for every call
02:21:46amiconn(3) There are multiple places that define various endian conversion functions
02:22:31Paul_The_NerdWhy are there empty functions?
02:22:31amiconn(4) Things like those I did for the switch(){} in mp3data.c I just committed
02:23:18amiconnSome functions are only needed on certain platforms, but encapsulating each call of these with #ifdef BLAH ... #endif doesn't exactly help readability,
02:23:36amiconnso the typical solution was to #ifdef the function body
02:23:45Paul_The_NerdAaah
02:23:46amiconn...leaving an empty function
02:23:52Paul_The_NerdGotcha
02:25:32amiconnre orphaned functions: There are some functions just defined for completeness of a certain sub-system which aren't used by any current code
02:25:41amiconnThe menu system is one such example
02:26:19amiconnIt has functions for moving entries around which aren't used
02:26:39Paul_The_NerdBut they're there on the assumption that in the future they may be needed?
02:26:51amiconnYes
02:27:22Paul_The_NerdFair enough
02:27:34XavierGrgreat now I will have to format my player.
02:30:37XavierGrOh it is getting better it says that it cant format it.

08:07:28LinusNplaylist.c is huge
08:07:29amiconnI'll also check for empty functions, dead code etc
08:07:35LinusNgoodie
08:07:44amiconnsee last night's log about some points
08:08:28LinusNi'm reading
08:08:32amiconnI already did one such things in mpeg.c during my cleanup. Changing an empty function into an empty macro does not only save the 4 bytes of the function itself
08:09:06amiconnIt also saves some code for every call
08:09:33LinusNno need to save registers etc
08:09:49LinusNbetter register allocation
08:10:14amiconnYes, and not loading the function address, call, and perhaps fill the delay slot with a nop
08:11:31amiconnBtw, I agree that the bookmark code is really big compared to what it does
08:24:03LinusNi'm trimming it now

08:33:54Zagorhi
08:43:40LinusNhmm, it hasn't struck me that a bookmark also contains the repeat mode and shuffle settings...
08:43:55LinusNso it will change those when loading a bookmark
08:44:16LinusNi can't decide if it is a good or a bad thing :-)
08:44:31Zagorsounds wrong to me
08:44:34B4gderI think its good
08:44:44B4gderat least the way I'd use the bookmarks
08:45:02LinusNwhen you think about it, you don't want to start listening to an audio book and keep the shuffle enabled
08:45:09Zagori can see it both ways actually
08:45:39B4gderhttp://forums.rockbox.org/index.php?topic=1325
08:47:01LinusNB4gder: here we go... ;-)
08:47:07B4gderyeah
08:47:08LinusNquite expected
08:47:24B4gderand that's why I'll dismiss this immediately
08:48:24LinusNabsolutely
08:54:09amiconnLinusN: I think it is correct that bookmarks contain the shuffle & repeat settings
08:54:33LinusNme too
08:55:12LinusNsomehow you would wish that they were temporary, but that would be a nightmare to implement
08:59:13amiconnThat would require a way to detect when a bookmark has 'finished' playing
08:59:31B4gderthe nightmare part that would be ;-)
08:59:38LinusNexactly
08:59:55amiconnThere are basically 2 points when this would happen
09:00
09:00:11Zagor...or an option to ignore the settings of the bookmark. which tends to get quite messy user-wise.
09:00:21amiconn(1) User starts playing another dir/playlist without using a bookmark
09:00:36 Join einhirn [0] (i=Miranda@bsod.rz.tu-clausthal.de)
09:00:43amiconn(2) The bookmark sets repeat to off, and the playlist ends
09:01:17amiconnHowever, that would need to be tracked across reboots, with the original shuffle & repeat settings saved as well...
09:01:33B4gderlet's not go there
09:01:40LinusNmy brain hurts!
09:02:13LinusNnobody has complained so far
09:05:37amiconnIf you see bookmarks as an extended resume feature, the current behaviour is correct
09:05:53LinusNi think so too
09:08:26CoCoLUSwith the feature freeze in place, such thoughts are inane anyway for some time, right? :)
09:08:51LinusNCoCoLUS: that depends if it is a bug or not :-)
09:09:01LinusNlet's just forget it
09:09:22*B4gder forgets
09:09:37LinusNforgets what? ;-)
09:10:11***Saving seen data "./dancer.seen"
09:10:33CoCoLUSi wonder how many exceptions are going to be made
09:10:42amiconnB4gder: I hope you don't forget localisation v2 ;)
09:10:54LinusNa huge bug! :-)
09:10:54amiconnThat might help saving some space btw...
09:11:00B4gderhehe
09:12:59amiconnI have some thoughts how to save space that are in the "grey zone" towards feature changes. I wonder what to do about these...
09:14:49LinusNamiconn: i'd say it depends in each case
09:15:14LinusNbring them up for discussion
09:16:09amiconnFor one, I'd like firmware_flash.rock to detect whether this is a first time flash, and save the flash rom contents in that case as backup (with request & recommendation)
09:16:24amiconnThen the dump ROM item in the debug menu can go away
09:16:48LinusNthat's a good idea
09:16:58CoCoLUSdoesn't sound like a bug fix, though
09:16:59LinusNhow about always saving?
09:17:31LinusNCoCoLUS: in this situation, everything that reduces code memory is a bug fix
09:18:01LinusNCoCoLUS: the V2 and FM recorder firmwares are too large at the moment
09:18:15amiconnLinusN: Always saving would be possible as well, but there is a slight chance for error
09:18:29amiconn...in case someone uses an old bootloader without version code
09:18:32LinusNamiconn: a "yes/no" if the file exists?
09:19:04amiconnLinusN: For me, the fm/v2 firmwares aren't too large ;-P
09:19:13LinusN:-)
09:19:14amiconnBut they're dangerously tight
09:19:25amiconnLinusN: Want a current fmr package?
09:19:25LinusNthe "official" builds are too large
09:19:31LinusNno need
09:21:00B4gderwe use gcc 3.3.4 for the sh builds
09:21:25LinusNB4gder: want me to upgrade to 3.3.6?
09:21:37B4gderif you feel like it, sure
09:21:41LinusNoki
09:23:38CoCoLUSlinus, does the current shortage of code memory mean that over the long run, features won't be added to these player firmwares anymore, because there's no space?
09:25:05LinusNCoCoLUS: not really, but the archos users will probably have to use a new boot loader
09:25:11LinusNeventually
09:25:53Bgeror splitted file ...
09:26:07LinusNor something
09:26:18B4gderbut not all archos users _can_ flash their players... :-O
09:26:38LinusNperhaps the archos firmware file will just be a secondary boot loader
09:26:53LinusNthat loads rockbox
09:27:01B4gderyeps
09:27:09Bgerthat's what i thought
09:27:10LinusNthat's the simplest solution methinks
09:27:11B4gderit would be a quick and easy fix
09:27:17CoCoLUSso, there's no chance some features might get "newer players/iriver" only?
09:27:26amiconnI think there's quite some room for saving space in the current code
09:27:36LinusNCoCoLUS: one of those days, maybe
09:27:41B4gderCoCoLUS: there already are numerous features that are iriver only
09:27:55LinusNCoCoLUS: the archos has quite a few limitations
09:28:21CoCoLUSthe lack of a bitmap display, eg?
09:28:24Bgerimho the 2MB ram are one of the biggest drawbacks of archoses ...
09:28:49B4gderCoCoLUS: no, most of the archoses have bitmap displayes
09:29:12CoCoLUSok, i have to admit i'm not all too familiar with the archos-familiy
09:29:32BgerCoCoLUS: http://www.rockbox.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/DeviceChart
09:29:51CoCoLUSi think they're ugly! ;)
09:30:08LinusNno doubt about that
09:30:48BgerLinusN: while on this topic, why do you think that h1x0 are far superior than h3x0 ?
09:31:07BgerSPdif and better case ?
09:31:13Bger*s/pdif
09:31:15LinusN1) it has a display that can be viewed without backlight
09:31:25Bgerok, for 1) i use the remote :)
09:31:26CoCoLUSthey are made of brushed metal, not plastic... that's important, imho
09:31:27LinusN2) more robust casing
09:31:31LinusN3) s/pdif
09:32:14Bgerbtw h3x0 are with metal case also (under the plastic one)... am i right ?
09:32:23LinusNnope
09:32:41Bgerhm
09:32:42CoCoLUSi can't believe some users actually value that h3x0 15fps video playback feature
09:33:06BgerCoCoLUS btw 1) it's 10fps, and 2) it looks better than u can believe
09:33:40Bgerand 3) i don't use it regularly
09:33:44B4gdercan't wait for rockbox on h3x0 and the crowd of people shouting for weird video format support.... :-)
09:34:31BgerB4gder: as always u can say them "if you want it, do it":)
09:34:55B4gderoh yes
09:35:06Bgeranyways, it's nice to have
09:35:27Bgerat least for funny clips etc ... :)
09:35:46Bgerin fact i've used it *only* for such things
09:35:59B4gderI wonder how much movie code we can use from xine or mplayer etc
09:36:18Bgeri don't think this is good idea ...
09:36:29Bgerat least the mplayer code is very very ... ugly
09:36:40B4gder:-(
09:36:49CoCoLUSbger: isn't the display way too small to comfortable watch video?
09:36:51Bgerthe mplayer's author said this ...
09:37:11BgerBger: as i already said, i used it only for some small funny movies
09:38:40Bgeri don't remember his name, but his words were something like " i want to start a new player and to use all i've learned from mplayer. the current mplayer code is nasty"
09:52:04CoCoLUSit's quite often used, though
09:52:20Bgerhm, maybe i'm wrong
09:52:20*CoCoLUS thinks of his xbox
09:53:42CoCoLUSwell, it can be ugly code -and- widely distributed at the same time :)

10:22:44preglowanyone know if we'll be able to record spdif at other sample rates than 44.1khz?
10:22:56Bgeri guess no:)
10:22:59preglowseems the iriver firmware does it, if the manual is to be believed
10:23:04Bgermaybe 22.05 ?
10:23:07Bgeretc ?
10:23:51preglowlooks like it does 48khz
10:24:48Zagorregarding mplayer, there's a ton of licensing issues in there. debian won't go near it.
10:25:02Bgeri just saw it
10:25:20Bgerthe problems are regarding codecs ...
10:25:23LinusNpreglow: 48khz s/pdif is possible
10:25:46Bgeror i'm wrong
10:25:53LinusNpreglow: even 20 bits is possible
10:26:06zei thought 48khz was pretty standard for s/pdif
10:26:11zelike dat-quality
10:26:46LinusNze: we're not discussing what is standard or not, it's about what the iriver hardware can handle
10:26:56zei see
10:27:09zestill seems like anything that supports it oughtta at least support whats common for it
10:27:18preglowwell, say that to iriver
10:27:20LinusNand the iriver hardware can handle 48khz s/pdif but not 48khz analog
10:27:32BgerLinusN: so it can record 48khz, but cannot play them ? ah, right
10:27:43preglowno, it can record it from spdig
10:27:46preglowspdif, even
10:27:48LinusNit can play 48khz s/pdif too
10:27:54preglownot from analog inputs
10:28:11Bgerok, i got it
10:28:22preglowLinusN: is there something to be saved in not enabling the spdif output until music is actually played?

10:29:04LinusNze: the problem is the coldfire cpu itself
10:29:13zehmm
10:30:07LinusNhmmm, maybe 48khz s/pdif playback isn't possible after all
10:30:18LinusNonly recording
10:30:19zeok thats pretty confusing if it can do 48khz digital but not 48khz analog while the A<->D converter(s) can do 48khz
10:30:43LinusNze: the problem is that the coldfire can't generate a 48khz clock
10:31:06zethe cpu generates the clock for the converters?
10:31:12LinusNbut it can *receive* a 48khz clock
10:31:20LinusNze: exactly
10:31:37zeweird, i thought stuff usually at least had a crystal or something to do that
10:32:13LinusNze: it's very common to let the cpu generate the clock
10:32:25LinusNthat way you only need one crystal in the system
10:33:00preglowooh, a wav playback patch
10:34:09zeso that makes more sense then i guess, if it can only record 48khz digital, and not do anything else with 48khz... still, only makes any kind of sense within that contex, more generally its still pretty senseless :p
10:34:44zeoh well, i oughtta sleep

11:04:03amiconnpreglow: Using icons in the form of user chars on the player is actually good because it will save display space, and the display is only 2x11 chars...
11:04:14amiconnBger: WSUS is really nice compared to SUS
11:04:26amiconnB4gder: mops??
11:04:36B4gderno, 'm' then ops ;-)
11:04:39Bgeramiconn: yes, it is, but it approves about 0.5updates/s ...
11:04:51preglowi wonder how it's actually possible to use an mp3 player a char cell display that small :/
11:04:58B4gder('m' being my shortcut in my shell for starting my mail reader)
11:05:20amiconnpreglow: It works better than you might think
11:05:21B4gderpreglow: the blind people don't mind that ;-)
11:05:52preglowB4gder: hehe
11:06:01Bgerpreglow: there are many mp3 players who lack the display of other info than "current track number" ...
11:06:34Bgerof course, they are older and not HDD-based
11:06:45solex...and they suck :)
11:06:52Bgerfor sure :)
11:10:15***Saving seen data "./dancer.seen"
11:10:40solexIn fact, I was searching for an MP3-Player for a long time
11:11:09amiconnpreglow: The charcell display is not the biggest annoyance with the player for sure
11:11:11solexI must have overlooked the Iriver H1x0...
11:11:29amiconnI think USB1.1 is the biggest drawback of the player
11:12:20amiconnIt takes hours to fill even the 10 GB model...
11:12:23Bger5-6s for 1 track ... even more
11:13:24Bgeramiconn: any idea what's the actual speed of USB1.1?
11:13:32Bger700-800kb/s ?
11:13:34preglowi used a 1.1 interface with my h120 for a long while, so i know all about that, hehe
11:14:07amiconnBger: I usually get around 1 MByte/sec
11:14:22Bgerhm, close to the theoretical limit
11:14:34amiconnTheoretical limit would be 1.5 MByte/sec
11:14:43Bgerbecause you can reserve up to 90% for one device of the bandwidth
11:15:00amiconnYes, and with MSD there is quite some overhead
11:15:06Bger10mbit including protocol overhead
11:15:11Bger10.8mbit
11:15:18amiconnMSD encapsulates SCSI protocol in USB data blocks
11:15:31amiconn...which have a max. size of 64bytes
11:15:45amiconn(at least that's the limit with USB1.1)
11:15:51Bgeryep
11:15:54Bgersomething like this
11:16:26Bgerusb2.0 has 1023 and even more, but i don't remember whether this was only for INT and ISO transfers
11:20:02preglowthink i'll leave the voice entries to other people, it just takes too long
11:21:18BgerThe USB defines the allowable maximum bulk data payload sizes to be only 8, 16, 32, or 64 bytes for full-speed endpoints and 512 bytes for high-speed endpoints.
11:23:48preglownow, what the hell is 'rating' in norwegian :-)
11:24:01Bger:P
11:24:32preglowso far i've translated "Set Song Rating" with "HVA FAEN", which is more a sign of frustration than a correct translation :PpPp
11:25:16Bgerok, this doesn't explain why i had such slooow transfers with my h3x0 to other h3x0 ... i uploaded the .hex file (2 547kb) in 30 secs or more ...
11:25:44Bger ~84kb/s ???
11:26:01Bgerok, 84.9
11:28:18preglowa lot of the new english strings doesn't follow the capitalized form of the rest of the english rockbox
11:28:33preglowlike Enable replaygain, Prevent clipping
11:29:36preglowme fix?
11:29:50Bgeri vote for fixing :)
11:32:51preglowthen again, a lot of older entries do as well. you've got Channel Configuration then Stereo width
11:32:54preglowwhat's the rule anyway?
11:37:23CoCoLUSi vote for every first letter capitalized :)
11:38:35Bgerme too
11:39:01Bgerbut you can see from miles that my english is not good at all :)
11:45:08CoCoLUSstart with using a decent system for describing lengths, like the metric ;)
11:46:21Bgerheh, the used metric system in my country is exactly the metric one ;)
11:46:57CoCoLUSthen why do you say "miles" :)
11:47:16Bgerask my sick brain :)
11:47:32Bgermaybe because 1 mile is more than 1 km? and sounds better:)
11:47:58CoCoLUS1.6, i believe
11:48:15Bgersomething like this
11:48:29Bgerthere are 2 kinds ... "sea miles " and ordinary miles
11:49:20CoCoLUSbut i think it has nothing to do with "english", imho every first letter capitalized is more readable in any language... well excluding chinese, maybe ;)
11:49:32Bgerheheh
11:49:42Bgerit's just a habbit
11:50:03CoCoLUSon a rather small display like the iriver ('s -remote), that is
11:50:05amiconnIt should just be used consistently within one translation
11:50:05Bgeri wouldn't like every first letter capitalized in bulgarian...
11:51:31Bgeramiconn: so, in english ? all first letters capitalized ?
11:51:53CoCoLUSsomeone has to declare an offical rule :)
11:53:59preglowamiconn: yes, and for english the rule is capitalized first letters in all menu items, and not in messages?
11:55:30Bgermaybe we should ask some british ?
11:56:38preglowi don't think it's so much an english rule as it is a rockbox rule

I am trying to learn some C to get involved further down the line, but for now I thought I'd get involved in testing and documentation. I have already posted some detailed instructions for iRiver OTF playlists on the forum and intend on doing some Wiki manual updating soon too. Every bit helps!!

15:52:10LinusNthe problem is that some disks spin down immediately when getting the STANDBY command
15:52:29amiconnHmm, is that a problem?
15:52:46LinusNfor people with weak batteries it is sometimes better to remain spinning
15:52:53amiconnBtw, I observed something strange concerning USB and disk spindown
15:53:12LinusNbetter set the power management mode instead, like we discussed earlier
15:53:40amiconnAfaiu the USB bridges of archos recorder (usb2.0) and iriver are almost identical, and windows uses a standard driver as these are USB MSD compatible
15:54:24amiconnHowever, while the recorder HD will spin down when not accessed via USB, the iriver HD remains spinning all the time
15:55:06LinusNthe default power management mode is programmed in the i2c eeprom connected to the isd chip
15:55:31amiconnAh ok.
15:55:54amiconnHmm, maybe that means regardless how we set the power management mode, the bridge chip will overwrite it?
15:57:09LinusNnot necessarily, that depends on if the driver resets the drive or not
15:57:23LinusNand if it sets the power mgmt mode
15:57:53LinusNin any case, sending the standby cmd was a bad idea
15:57:55amiconnHmm, I don't get what you mean...
15:58:14LinusNthe operating system drive can do what it wants with the disk
15:58:17LinusNdriver
15:58:29LinusNit can set the management mode as it wishes
15:58:37LinusNand spin it down when it wants to
15:58:38amiconnHmm, yes

15:59:09LinusNyes

15:59:31amiconnFor me that sounds like setting the power management mode from rockbox wouldn't have any effect

16:07:48amiconnThe point is that while I could provide you with these, I can't say what parameters you would need to make them work :/
16:08:22amiconn...and I can't test myself, at least not now
16:08:34rooomishamiconn: Understand - that is why, I am waiting here so long without success.
16:08:35amiconnI need to hook up a player and try
16:09:21amiconnI even have a player to hook up, but I'll need a replacement button before doing so
16:10:10amiconnI'm already waiting for that button for a while...
16:11:06rooomishamiconn: after receiving it please let me know! Thnx
16:11:36rooomishor pls update the wiki
16:12:01amiconnuart_boot is in cvs, so it should be possible to build it
16:12:18amiconnHowever, this still doesn't guarantee a working version
16:12:56rooomishamiconn: I have not skills to work with cvs :-(
16:16:18amiconnHmm, I can build a version and provide it, but I still can't guarantee it will work
16:16:43amiconnI think it should work though, I just checked the source a bit to see what is needed
16:17:22rooomishamiconn: I will be grateful for this
16:17:31rooomishmany thanks

16:19:42B4gdernow here's a fan! ;-)
16:19:52RockboxLover:D
16:20:08RockboxLovera litle question please
16:20:26RockboxLoverbtw very very thanks for this best fw in the world
16:21:15RockboxLoverI see in the patch tracker one patch for colorize the cards in the solitaire Rockbox game
16:21:23RockboxLoverit's just one detail :)
16:21:25amiconnrooomish: Hmm, iirc the bitrate switching is done with the -test option in the cvs version of uart_boot, so just avoid using that ;)
16:21:36 Join hicks_ [0] (n=hicks@zeus.mups.co.uk)
16:22:07RockboxLoverbut think you it could be implemented, I guess few users use this game and it could be very cool for us
16:22:45amiconnrooomish: amiconn.dyndns.org/UART_Boot.zip">http://amiconn.dyndns.org/UART_Boot.zip
16:23:00amiconnTry that and pls tell me whether it worked...
16:23:43RockboxLoverLinus, Bagder...? I don't have build environment and I can't see if all is good with patch, think ypu is good?
16:24:02B4gderI don't know, but I think it is good
16:24:35RockboxLoverOne core dev like you Bagder or someone with CVS access can add it?
16:25:06B4gderanyone with CVS can add it, but it would take testing and reviewing of it first
16:25:11rooomishamiconn: thank you - I will try it!

17:01:38bobTHCit's just an idea, it's not a real need, but it's because i thinking how 32MB of the Iriver would be usefull
17:01:47bobTHC3 or more ;)
17:02:41LinusNi think those 32mb could be used for buffering songs to save battery

17:04:28muesli-LinusN how many mb are used for buffering so far?
17:04:37B4gder30.5MB or so

19:25:06webguest26I have read the manual, but there is no definition for "Disk spin down" and "Disk power off", whats the difference please

19:25:30amiconnMy old 20GB drive was also an IBM. I had no issues with that either, just wanted more capacity
19:25:53ender`guessing: spin down stops the disk spinning, but keeps it powered on
19:26:04amiconnwebguest26: Disk spindown is a timeout setting, determining after how many secs of inactivity it will spin down
19:26:34amiconnDisk poweroff is an on/off setting, determining whether the HD will switched off completely when not spinning

19:27:15amiconnThis saves some extra battery power (the standby current), but leads to a slightly longer spinup time
19:27:43webguest26if it is switched off will it not start again if play or suchlike is requested ?
19:27:47amiconn...because the disk has to be reinitialised on every spinup
19:28:06amiconnNo, that has to be handled in software
19:28:35amiconnOff means physically off, i.e. cutting DC power (by a transistor on the mainboard)
19:28:58rooomishamiconn: Maybe I fount the mistake - I used for pulldown not 1K but 10K resistors. Tomorrow I am going to buy the right ones.
19:29:09amiconnrooomish: That's very likely then
19:29:33amiconn10 k pulldown against 10k pullup on the board won't give a low level for sure

19:30:37amiconnSaving some extra battery power
19:31:05webguest26but surely it has to be restarted for the next load of music
19:31:08amiconnIf the disk is spun down but not physically switched off, the disk electronics will still consume some power
19:31:53webguest26ah ok now I understand, thank you
19:31:55amiconnYes, that has to be done in either case, but without physical poweroff, the disk will spin up by itself when it receives a request that requires accessing the medium
19:32:27amiconnThat's what the electronics still needs power for - waiting for the next request

19:32:48webguest26its a question of saving a few milliamps then ?
19:33:06ender`anything for longer battery life :)
19:33:15amiconnYes, but it's quite some percent of total consuption
19:33:25webguest26understood
19:33:27amiconn(around 10% on archos depending on the disk model)
19:33:34ender`what about iriver?
19:33:45amiconnI guess it's around the same percentage
19:34:21preglowi take it no ones actually dropped by here and announced they're actually working on porting wma?
19:34:38amiconnThe 1.8" disk might have more advanced electronics needing less milliamps

21:45:46bumihey all
21:47:09bumianyone here have rockbox for iriver installed?
21:52:37 Quit hicks (Read error: 110 (Connection timed out))
21:53:55Paul_The_NerdI do. Why?
21:55:06bumiwanted to ask if the latest boot loader is the one that has the bug of the backlight being on when connected to the PC
21:55:19bumiam tring to update my firmware but am having truble
21:55:29bumiso i thoght maybe i shold install the new bootloader
21:56:14Paul_The_NerdThe most recent bootloader doesn't have the backlight issue.
21:56:21Paul_The_NerdWhat's the trouble you're having updating?
21:56:48bumiwell
21:56:59bumii just downloaded the latest build from the CVS
21:57:03bumibut then the player wont boot
21:57:20bumithe last firmware i had was buggy and allso didnt save my font settings for some reson
21:57:31bumiand the one before works great but i dont have the file anymore
21:57:33bumi:P
21:58:55Paul_The_NerdOdd. Are you using any patches, or just building the pure, most recent CVS?
21:59:55bumipure
21:59:57bumiam not building
22:00
22:00:02bumiam downloading it from the site...
22:00:44Paul_The_NerdOh, so the "bleeding edge" .zip?
22:02:11bumiyeap
22:02:45Paul_The_NerdOne sec.
22:03:03bumik
22:04:43Paul_The_NerdHrm.
22:05:24Paul_The_NerdEverything's working on my end with the newest version. I'm not that familiar with the way everything works...
22:05:35Paul_The_NerdWhen you're saying "won't boot" what happens?
22:06:13bumiwell, it does the rockbox checksum
22:06:18bumisaid its wrong
22:06:22bumiand boots to the original firmware
22:06:31Paul_The_NerdHrm
22:06:35bumiok
22:06:39bumirecopyed
22:06:43bumiit was fixed
22:06:48bumilets see if the other thing is fixed
22:06:48Paul_The_NerdI was about to suggest that
22:06:56Paul_The_NerdDid your fonts just reset to default?
22:07:12Paul_The_NerdBecause they did change to a new config version, which means basically, all settings got reset.
22:07:41Paul_The_NerdIt's generally best, once you've picked an WPS you like, and a font, and everything, to go to the Manage Settings menu, and safe a config file with your settings.
22:07:59bumii know
22:08:11bumiam tring to redownload the fonts i want
22:08:16bumithe hebrew ones
22:08:36Paul_The_NerdOh,so if you pick the fonts, then leave the menus, shut down, and restart, it's back to a default font?
22:08:55bumithat was the problem
22:09:03bumiill get the fonts back
22:09:13bumiand see if it still happends
22:09:18Paul_The_NerdYeah
22:10:00bumisay, i heard of a butten combo you can click that is like the reset botten
22:10:04bumido you know what it is?
22:10:11Paul_The_NerdI haven't heard ofi t.

22:14:44bumiyay
22:14:45bumiit works
22:14:48bumithanks
22:15:09Paul_The_NerdHeh, I didn't really do anything.
22:15:10bumiso whats the advantage of updating to the latest boot loader?
22:16:00Paul_The_NerdNot much. I think it's a little bit faster loading, and a few noises that happen when you plug in / remove usb cable have been removed, if I recall
22:16:21bumioh
22:16:26bumiso its all perty minor
22:16:32Paul_The_NerdSeems that way.
22:16:42bumik
22:16:51bumii love rockbox
22:16:53Paul_The_NerdBasically, if what you've got works, may as well stay with it until there's compelling cause to upgrade.
22:17:11bumithe new BiDi sepport is realy realy goodf
22:17:29bumithere is problems when i switch songs
22:17:30Paul_The_NerdI'm a native English speaker, so it's not too useful for me, but I like the fact such things are there.
22:17:37bumiand then the player freazes
22:17:51Paul_The_NerdWhat format are your songs in?
22:18:10Paul_The_NerdI remember reading sometime in the last couple days about a fix for a freeze, or crash, or something when songs switched.
22:18:14bumimostly 192k MP3's
22:18:25Paul_The_NerdHrm... I think it was OGG that the fix was for.
22:18:36Paul_The_NerdI really can't remember. =/
22:18:46bumidont use ogg too much
22:18:51bumiam a emule lover
22:18:55bumi:D
22:18:57Paul_The_NerdHehehe
22:19:18bumiever heard of something called XSS?
22:19:22Paul_The_NerdMost of my music comes from my own CDs, so it's all lossless wavpacks. (I don't have that much of my own music.) The rest of it is OCRemixes.
22:19:30Paul_The_NerdNope.
22:19:32Paul_The_NerdWhat is it?
22:19:52bumiam going to ireland on wensday
22:20:07bumiso i hope to get into the irish music as well

22:21:51bumiare you a programer?
22:22:26Paul_The_NerdI haven't programmed C in years, though Rockbox tempts me daily.
22:26:40 Join webguest05 [0] (n=4721f9c1@labb.contactor.se)
22:26:54webguest05does rockbox normalize playback volume at all?
22:27:51Paul_The_NerdHow do you mean?
22:28:31webguest05ripped stuff is at different volumes so a lot of the time say on random play i have to mess with the volume because some tracks are louder than others
22:28:49webguest05it would be nice to not have to mess with the volume all the time
22:28:53Paul_The_NerdYes and no then
22:29:01Paul_The_NerdBasically, find a program that can replaygain scan your files
22:29:03webguest05what do you mean
22:29:15Paul_The_NerdFoobar2000, vorbisgain for oggs, mp3gain for MP3s (just scan, do NOT change)
22:29:16webguest05yeah doesn't that affect quality though?
22:29:19Paul_The_NerdNope
22:29:31Paul_The_NerdReplaygain just tells the player an offset for the gain, it doesn't reencode or anything
22:29:40webguest05that runs on the iriver?
22:29:51Paul_The_NerdOnce you've had a program tag the files, yes.
22:30:11webguest05oh so you run it on the pc agains your files then the rockbox reads it from the tag?
22:30:32Paul_The_Nerdthe files get tagged with the offset, and Rockbox reads that tag, and adjusts the gain so that at a given volume, the songs sound the same "loudness" approximately
22:30:38Paul_The_NerdYep, exactly
22:30:39webguest05neat
22:31:22Paul_The_NerdI recommend Foobar2000, though some people have problems with it.
22:31:54Paul_The_NerdBecause it can tag all playable formats, so you can just create a playlist of all the files on your player, then run the replaygain operation.
22:32:08Paul_The_NerdBut it *can* clear ID3 tags, if you have mixed V1 and V2 tags, apparently.
22:32:17webguest05all i have are ogg
22:33:04webguest05don't really care about tags just use dir structure
22:33:13Paul_The_NerdOh, with Oggs it works fine.
22:33:14webguest05thanks!
22:33:23Paul_The_NerdIt's *just* MP3s that it can have issues with, as far as I know.
22:33:37Paul_The_NerdOgg, Flac, Wavpack, etc, have been no problem for me.
22:33:39Paul_The_NerdGood luck!

23:39:43ShebbLinusN: mp3entry::elapsed lags behind what it should be in a plugin. This is rather annoying
23:39:56LinusNok, gcc 3.3.6 is now installed in the build server
23:40:09LinusNShebb: which platform?
23:40:27ShebbH100
23:40:41ShebbJust by a second or two
23:40:49LinusNwhich codec?
23:40:59ShebbMp3 is the only one I tested
23:41:11Shebbslasher recomended I tried pcmbuf_get_latency
23:41:17LinusNso it's 1-2s behind?
23:41:24Shebbbut I did not get the right resutls
23:41:56ShebbYeah, I am making a lyrics plugin and the words come a little after each line is sung
23:42:35LinusNoh, pcmbuf_get_latency() has a rather bad roundoff error
23:42:44LinusNnot related to your problem thogh
23:42:48ShebbI will quote Slasher here:
23:42:48Shebbhmm, interesting. The id3.elapsed -field should have the most recent elapsed time synced with real audio output
23:42:54Shebbso the buffer elapsed time is a few seconds more than the real elapsed time reported by that id3 field
23:43:57ShebbHe recomended I tried to use pcmbuf_get_latency but that value builds up to around 11 seconds which is not the error I am experiencing
23:45:21LinusNthe id3->elapsed value is already adjusted for pcm buffer latency
