#rockbox log for 2005-08-23

00:00:28Shebbto get it to work you will require a .lrc file in the same directory as the file you are playing
00:00:29Shebbhttp://www.geocities.com/henriksens2710/lyrics.c
00:00:47Shebbnamed the same as the file you are playing just wil .lrc as its extension
00:01:22stripwax_Hm, I like the idea (on the mailing list) about 'unboosting' to 11Mhz if we've been stuck at 48Mhz for a while.
00:01:32 Join webguest77 [0] (n=d5ee4e12@labb.contactor.se)
00:01:38stripwax_So I guess my games plugins didn't make it into the feature freeze :-(

00:03:40 Nick Shbb is now known as Shebb (n=5271043c@labb.contactor.se)
00:04:18ShebbI used: http://www.geocities.com/SiliconValley/Hub/6086/ALLLyrics/A_Ha_Take_on_me.zip which is correct
00:04:57LinusNstripwax_: which ones?
00:06:14stripwax_http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&atid=439120&group_id=44306&aid=1239851 (which I think amiconn was looking at) and http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&atid=439120&group_id=44306&aid=1264727 (which is pretty recent)
00:06:44stripwax_Although - is iriver not part of 2.5? if not I guess it's not relevant anyway
00:08:56Shebbpatches like those are nice for the cvs users though
00:09:30stripwax_definitely!
00:09:47ShebbAnd as they almost like optimisions or fixes couldn't they get through the freeze?
00:10:24stripwax_If iriver isn't part of 2.5 it's not important
00:10:46stripwax_(I'm not sure if it is or isn't - it's not very clear)
00:12:26LinusNShebb: i created my own elapsed display plugin, and it is accurate
00:12:41ShebbNo its not, the iriver port will be released when all the completion things are done
00:12:58ShebbLinusN: What did you do different from me?
00:13:04LinusNShebb: your time display is not based on the real elapsed time
00:13:17LinusNint t = mint;
00:14:08LinusNfirst of all, don't add the latency
00:14:39LinusNhmm, you display a lot of different times :-)
00:14:46Shebbthat was just a test thing I should have removed that
00:14:58Shebbthe important one is the top one by the while(1)
00:15:09Shebbthat is based off file->elapsed
00:15:25Shebbif you ignor the latency which should not be there
00:16:50LinusNi now pasted your code into my plugin, and i don't see any difference from the wps
00:19:01ShebbI will get my build right up to date... I need to start using cvs to make this easier
00:21:37 Part stripwax_
00:25:41hardeepis the elapsed time on the wps accurate though? I know there's a fudge factor added to the resume offset in the playback code
00:27:35MoosHi hardeep, what's about your idea to add the patch about a warn if dynamic playlist modified ?
00:28:02hardeepMoos: Yeah, I liked that patch... just didn't get around to committing it
00:28:12hardeepwill have to wait until after 2.5 is released now
00:28:17Moosah ok :)
00:29:53LinusNhardeep: yes, the pcm buffer latency
00:30:39LinusNbut the "elapsed" time in the id3 struct is the same whether it is read by the wps or a plugin
00:32:12ShebbOk I can be more specific now
00:32:35ShebbIf I stop playback then play my song the laggin will occur
00:33:12Shebbhowever, if I rewind the audio file whilst it is playing
00:33:20Shebbthen restart my plugin
00:33:28ShebbMy plugin will show the correct time
00:34:00LinusNweird, i start a file, then start the plugin
00:34:07LinusNshows the correct time
00:35:38Shebbno, each time I stop and restart playback I have the wrong time until I rewind the audio a little
00:35:52Shebbthis is the latest cvs
00:35:58Shebbwith only my pluggin added
00:40:56LinusNrunning your plugin now
00:41:44LinusNthe .lrc file says "we're talking away" is at 0:36:0, but both the wps and your plugin time display say it happens on 0:34:0
00:42:10LinusNbut i don't see a difference between the wps and your plugin
00:43:38LinusNfunny, the lyrics catch up later in the song
00:47:09ShebbIf you play that, then rewind the audio
00:47:24ShebbDo the starting lyrics match up as they should?
00:47:26ShebbThey do for me
00:47:45Shebb"we're talking away" happens on 36 for me if I do that
00:47:58 Quit Strath ("Client closed")

03:06:33webguest68does rockbox use same ogg codec as orig firmware?
03:09:32FebsAs far as I know, no. Rockbox was not based on the original firmware at all. I don't know if anyone even knows what the original firmware used.

03:22:15Febswebguest68, just press the up button at the top of the directory.

03:26:00Febsbillytwowilly, not sure about your 2nd question, but as to the first, I believe delete is in the file menu. Navigate to the file, press and hold select, and when the file menu appears, choose "delete."
03:28:34billytwowillyI don't have select. I have a archos jukebox 6000

03:32:12Febsbillytwowilly, press ON+PLAY or press and hold PLAY.
03:32:21Febswebguest68, yes.
03:32:22Paul_The_NerdWebguest68: General Settings -> Playback, top of the list.
03:33:40webguest68record button does nothing right now?
03:33:47Febswebguest68, you can also toggle shuffle from the quick menu. Press and hold the A-B button.
03:34:53webguest68nice
03:35:04webguest68rockbox..well rocks
03:36:10FebsMuch of this stuff is in the manual. The manual is for the Archos models, but much of it applies to iriver, and you can use this wiki page to figure out the correct buttons: http://www.rockbox.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/ButtonAssignments
03:36:46FebsOr you can look in the wiki manual, although that is very much a work in progress: http://www.rockbox.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/GeneralFAQ?topic=WikiManual
03:37:27*Paul_The_Nerd always forgets about the quick menus.

08:23:55tvelocityit is:P
08:24:36CoCoLUSthey are a bit pricey, though
08:27:49amiconnLinusN: You idea to simply cut the HD power on a crash to avoid it spinning all the time should be good enough, although it will probably cause the HD to perform an emergency park
08:28:00amiconnCrashes shouldn't happen too often
08:28:43amiconnBtw, we have 2 places where dead-end crashes are handled: panic() and UIE()
08:29:39amiconnThe handling of button check for rebbooting, powering down HD, setting low CPU frequency etc for these 2 places should be unified
08:32:05CoCoLUSreminds me of the worst case scenario... happend to me yesterday, while i was in the train, rb hang, disk kept spinning
08:32:22CoCoLUSand i had nothing small enough with me to press the reset button :)
08:33:46CoCoLUSlet me tell you, that thing gets -hot- aber running continously for an hour
08:33:51CoCoLUSafter
08:34:42amiconnI know
08:35:49amiconnElevated temperatures will shorten the lifetime of a LiIon battery... bad
08:35:56CoCoLUSnice
08:36:40CoCoLUSbut what could i've done...
08:37:35CoCoLUSi tried fidgeting a "pin" out of some paper tissue i had with me... then i tried to bend the keychain... nothing was small enough to fit in the reset hole
08:37:58CoCoLUSsure was funny as hell for the seat neighbour...
08:39:30CoCoLUSyou think that one-hour-long experience will noticable shorten the liftetime of the battery?

09:50:46B4gderyou're right in it!
09:53:41B4gdergood to see the fm build fit within 200K now
09:54:56CoCoLUSif i would want to write an entry into a textfile for every file thats played longer than 40 percent, where would such code fit best? :)
09:55:31B4gderit should use the same logic the runtimedb already does, imho
09:55:56CoCoLUShcl wrote that, right?
09:56:00B4gderbut it would requires some new thinking if we want to be able to choose what runtime code to run
09:56:22CoCoLUSi'm still avid about that audioscrobbler
09:56:28B4gderhcl wrote the runtimedb parts, Slasher added the callbacks and amiconn did them for the archos parts
09:57:42CoCoLUSi know hcl did already implement "times played" into his db

09:58:43ReKleSSwrong one
09:58:44ReKleSSn/m
09:59:11B4gderCoCoLUS: yes, but either that code should be corrected to do the same, or we should work out a way to allow a user to chose what runtime code/counter to use
10:00
10:00:47CoCoLUSasking hcl to implement it into his code seems a lot easier
10:01:08LinusNCoCoLUS: don't hold your breath, hcl isn't very active nowadays...
10:01:16CoCoLUSi noticed
10:01:25LinusNthat bothers me
10:01:29CoCoLUSwhy?
10:01:33B4gderthe whole runtimedb is in limbo
10:01:42LinusNwe might have to remove the runtimedb from the release
10:01:54LinusNand the database plugins
10:02:52CoCoLUSwould be a shame; maybe some other dev would be willing to look after those parts?
10:03:08LinusNlet's hope so
10:03:36B4gderunfortunately all those are very undocumented
10:03:48B4gderso its a lot of reading up
10:04:06B4gderactually, I don't think it is so much of a shame
10:04:13B4gdersince this is the situation right now
10:04:22B4gderand we don't see many people asking for this
10:04:25B4gderthus no one uses it
10:04:29B4gderand no one will miss it
10:04:42B4gder!
10:04:52CoCoLUSmaybe it works so flawlessly nobody complains? :)
10:04:55LinusNhow could they use it? afaik, nobody knows how to...
10:05:07B4gderCoCoLUS: you ever used it?
10:05:59CoCoLUSnope, and i'm not going to, however, as i said, i'm avid about that audioscrobbler idea, and if hcls already existing code could provide support with only some small changes...
10:06:18B4gderI agree
10:06:27B4gderI would personally like to extract stats from it
10:06:45Bgerimho the idea behind the runtimedb is good, but it needs more work on it ...
10:07:02Bgerat least for documentation/bugfixes
10:07:24CoCoLUSthere's no way for rockbox to actually "look at" the files transfered during usb mode, is there?
10:07:33B4gderno
10:08:08BgerCoCoLUS: rockbox doesn't have controll over the hard disk once the player is attached to computer
10:08:12CoCoLUSbecause if rb would build the database transparently during/after transfer, the whole db-thing would be a lot easier to handle... no perl/java scripts, etc.
10:08:18Bgers/controll/control
10:08:30BgerCoCoLUS: no way
10:08:39B4gderwell, there's a C implementation partly done

10:09:45B4gderbut he said that before he committed
10:09:49LinusNyes i know
10:09:50B4gderI asked him to commit
10:10:45LinusNi played with a pre-alpha of the lyrics plugin yesterday, quite amusing
10:11:00B4gderdid you sort out the time problem?
10:11:06CoCoLUSjeez, sounds like the original firmware
10:11:07LinusNi can't make it happen
10:11:21LinusNnot with my mp3 and not with his
10:11:29B4gderodd
10:11:32LinusNindeed
10:12:05CoCoLUSis lyrics support actually wanted by users?

10:12:22LinusNand it's a fun toy
10:12:28B4gderits fun
10:12:31B4gderkaroake time!
10:12:32B4gder;-)
10:12:56CoCoLUSi'd rather see the darth vader vocoder :P
10:13:20B4gderwe are many, we can do them all
10:13:28LinusNnow *that* would be much more useful than lyrics support, wouldn't it? :-)
10:13:52CoCoLUSwell if we are on the topic of practically useless additions... ;)
10:13:55B4gder"finally a music player that can make me sound like darth vader" ;-)
10:14:24LinusNin the feature comparison table as well
10:14:36B4gderyes, that's be very good in the table
10:14:37LinusNDarth Vader mode: Yes No No
10:14:49*B4gder giggles
10:14:57CoCoLUSalthough i would not look away from a decent equalizer as well
10:15:17B4gderthen you better start hacking!
10:15:20LinusNthat will definitely come
10:15:30LinusNi have faith in preglow
10:15:55CoCoLUSb4gder, you should have noticed by now, i'd rather complain then code :P
10:16:02B4gderhehe
10:16:03LinusNthat was his initial goal, before he got trapped in codec optimizing hell
10:16:26B4gderand I don't think we should let him out of that cage just yet
10:16:32LinusNoh no
10:16:49CoCoLUSi guess he already got nightmares about that... trapped in the infinite darkness between assembler and emac, or whatever

10:17:45eplHas anyone ever talked about creating a integer encoder for OGG?
10:18:13B4gderit wouldn't surprise me
10:18:14kurzhaarrockerThank you LinusN for committing the a-b repeat patch. Finally another _useful_ feature for rockbox.
10:18:45LinusNkurzhaarrocker: long time between the useful additions nowadays, eh? :-)
10:19:37webguest45after the Darth Vader mode, do you think you could implement "Playlist reset" ?
10:19:43CoCoLUSseems reasonable though, during a feature freeze period ;)
10:19:43kurzhaarrockerWell - obviously its more fun to investigate new hardware architectures. (which is a good thing, too)
10:19:43B4gderI would actually go for any good lossy format integer-encoder
10:20:16webguest45hmm, just thinking, as a workaround, could I not just load an empty playlist ?
10:20:46LinusNwebguest45: try it
10:21:33CoCoLUSbe sure to have something small at hand, though, something that fits into the reset hole ;)
10:23:02webguest45hmm, just realized, just off/on empties the current playlist
10:23:18webguest45not too elegant, but working
10:24:16 Quit kurzhaarrocker (Remote closed the connection)
10:27:57CoCoLUSso, i guess i have to delay the coding of my scrobblerbox-audioscrobbler-plugin :(
10:31:03B4gderwhy?
10:32:14CoCoLUSbecause of the obviously imminent removal of hcls code?
10:32:53B4gderwell, if the situation would be changed, the situation would be... eh, changed
10:33:12B4gderin its current state it is useless
10:33:16CoCoLUSi really have no problem coding the helper/submitting tool for the pc, but that whole playback code/runtime db thing is over my head

10:44:11amiconnLinusN: I don't think the runtimedb code should be removed for release
10:44:44amiconnRemoving it might introduce other bugs, and the runtimedb code seems to run quite stable
10:45:10amiconnThere is some documentation as well, and using the database isn't too difficult either
10:45:18B4gderyou used it?
10:45:35amiconnB4gder: Obviously I had to, since I wrote the arhos hooks
10:45:39amiconn*archos
10:46:08B4gdertrue
10:46:23B4gderbut saying it isn't too difficult is an understatement imho
10:46:37B4gderits hard as hell
10:46:41amiconnHuh?
10:46:48B4gderenabling the db is easy
10:46:53B4gderplaying music is easy
10:46:56B4gderbut then...
10:47:02amiconnJust enable it, and it will collect runtime data if you have a suitable tagdb
10:47:06B4gderhow the heck do you search or extract data from it?
10:47:16amiconn(suitable == containing hashes)
10:47:21B4gderI know that
10:47:23B4gderI've done that
10:47:49B4gderI gave up the last part though
10:48:13amiconnYou can then make search request files with databox
10:48:31B4gderif you understand it
10:48:45B4gderI guess I wasn't motivated enough
10:49:03amiconnRunning them will start searchengine, which will run the request against the tagdb and rundb, and generate search.m3u containing the result
10:49:07B4gderbut I don't think many users will be able to penetrate that
10:49:26amiconndatabox is quite simple, although a bit cumbersome in some points
10:49:46B4gderI felt like I was tricked into a maze
10:49:52amiconnHuh?
10:50:14B4gdertrying things blindly
10:50:14amiconnDatabox itself is quite logical, just some details need to be made more user friendly
10:50:29B4gderhoping it would be what I thought it is
10:50:56amiconnLike, we need a simple number entry screen. Currently databox uses the vkeyboard, which is sub-optimal for numbers
10:51:19amiconnAnd, our vkeyboard should have a caption saying what to enter
10:51:29Bgermaybe something with up-down buttons (inc/dec)
10:51:44Bgeramiconn: and maybe a "charset"
10:51:44amiconnYes, and left-right to choose the position
10:51:54Bgeryep :)

10:53:01B4gderI ran away screaming
10:53:10BgerB4gder: don't run too far :)
10:53:16amiconnThere is just one problem unsolved with databox, and that is you can't really enter requests that don't fit the screen, because you won't see what you select
10:53:17B4gder:-)
10:53:24amiconnThis is a real problem on the player
10:53:35[IDC]Dragonhi guys
10:53:55B4gderhi [IDC]Dragon
10:54:20amiconnB4gder: Just ask me what you don't understand, because I wouldn't know what needs more documentation.
10:54:49CoCoLUSamiconn, since you seem to have a deeper understanding, what do you think, how much work would this "only count when 40% played" idea be?
10:54:58Bgerbtw, i must agree with B4gder that on first sight the things look very complicated ...
10:55:06B4gderamiconn: 1) a link from tha runtimedatabase wiki page to a page describing how to use the runtimedatabase to start with

10:58:33[IDC]DragonI came back for a minute to help Bootbox into v2.5
10:58:49CoCoLUSis there a way for plugins to read this runtime db, ie, is it in the plugin api?
10:58:56[IDC]Dragonit's all ready now
10:59:21[IDC]Dragontoday I've built images for all the Archos targets
11:00
11:00:02[IDC]Dragonand fixed the ROM start addresses to Bootbox requirements (not yet committed)
11:00:04amiconnDid you use latest cvs for that, i.e. containing yesterday's standby fix for USB mode?
11:00:26[IDC]Dragonyes, I've built it this morning
11:01:19amiconn[IDC]Dragon: I want to do 2 more things for full bootbox support, and work against our current code size tightness
11:01:31[IDC]Dragonwhich is?
11:01:41amiconn(1) Integrate ROM saving into firmware_flash, and remove it from the debug menu
11:01:57amiconn(2) Add the start address check for rombox images to rockbox_flash
11:02:09[IDC]Dragon(2) is done
11:02:16amiconnOkay, nice :)
11:02:39[IDC]DragonI needed to link that address into the image
11:02:47 Quit ghode ("CGI:IRC (EOF)")
11:02:55[IDC]Dragonsee rom.lds
11:03:44amiconnLooks like a clean way, but would not have been necessary
11:03:59[IDC]DragonI hope I didn't violate the feature freeze
11:04:14amiconnWe could just have used the start address from the vector table
11:04:40[IDC]Dragonthat is the reset vector, not the start address
11:04:46amiconnWe know the offset from start of image is constant as long as we don't change the linking convention
11:04:53[IDC]Dragonbrr
11:05:23amiconnbrr?
11:05:43[IDC]Dragonisn't the reset vector pointing anywhere?
11:05:59amiconnI'm not talking about the reset vector
11:06:13[IDC]Dragonrelying on that would rely on code ordering, optimization, etc.
11:07:21[IDC]Dragonafaik there is no such thing as a start address in the vector table
11:08:21[IDC]Dragonabout (1): there is also a "proposal" to unite the 2 flash plugins

11:13:42amiconn[IDC]Dragon: ..and the very first entry in the vector table is the start address
11:13:54amiconnI checked with the RAM version (easier to check)
11:14:17amiconnImage starts at 0x09000000, .init.text section is at 0x09000200
11:14:30amiconnFirst vector table entry is - 0x09000200
11:15:07[IDC]Dragonand the reset vector is the second entry?
11:16:19[IDC]Dragondoesn't seem so
11:17:22amiconnThis first entry is the power-on reset vector, and it does point to our start() function
11:17:27[IDC]DragonI'll check later
11:18:13[IDC]Dragonperhaps the vector just looked odd, since rombox has an extra 0x10 offset to be behind my flash header

13:06:26B4gder've never understood why they are two and not one
13:07:12B4gderis it because it isn't easy to make it both a normal and a viewer perhaps?
13:07:26LinusNi think it's so you can save queries as files and then run the search engine as a viewer
13:08:04LinusNit's a pity that the query files have a binary format

13:20:21HClB4gder: its pretty simple, really. you start the databox plugin, enter a filename to edit, then make a search query with the joystick o.o
13:20:35B4gderI tried
13:20:36HClthen when you're done you click the <end> thing and it writes it to disk
13:20:39B4gderI gave up
13:20:43HCland then you click the file it made
13:20:45preglowi wonder if cassandra started the latex conversion
13:20:46HCland the searchengine runs
13:20:54HCland executes the search
13:21:00HCland writes the search results to search.m3u
13:21:03B4gderHCl: there's no docs saying all this
13:21:16B4gdernot easily accessable at least
13:21:37HCli can write it down in the databox section, i guess
13:21:49LinusNthere is no databox section :-)
13:21:54B4gder:-)
13:21:56HClmhm, well i'll make one
13:22:08HClthere deserves to be a PluginDatabox, at least
13:22:16B4gderyes
13:22:16LinusNi'd like the two plugins to be one
13:22:23HClthe searchengine plugin is pretty much low level
13:22:39HClLinusN: that would eliminate all possibility of having predefined searches, or searches in a list that you can select easily.
13:22:40B4gderLinusN: that would probably not count as bugfix
13:22:50B4gderHCl: not at all
13:22:51LinusNHCl: why?
13:23:11HClbecause the plugin would have no way of knowing whether it has to execute the file or edit it
13:23:34B4gderwell, you can't click on one to edit it now either, can you?
13:23:47HClno, ofcourse not, that opens it with the searchengine
13:23:49HClif you want to edit it
13:23:55HClyou simply have to put in the filename in databox
13:24:11B4gderthen there will be no difference
13:24:18HCl?
13:24:25HClyes there would be?
13:24:36B4gderyou'd start it without a file and then load one to edit
13:24:45HClin the end, i'd like to have something like .rockbox/searches/
13:24:46B4gderor you'd click one and execute it
13:24:56B4gderagreed
13:24:56HClwith searches a user has made, and can execute immediately
13:25:03B4gderbut we want them searches to be plain yext
13:25:06HCland they end up in the current playlist
13:25:11B4gdereditable on your pc
13:25:14HClwhy do you want searches to be plain text?
13:25:18HClthat is so not idiot-proof
13:25:21B4gderno
13:25:22LinusNyes, plain text .rsp files would be nice
13:25:23HCldatabox *enforces* at the moment
13:25:26B4gderbut user-friendly
13:25:32HClthat the search engine querys are incorrect
13:25:41HCli so do not want to deal with retards who cant form a proper search query
13:25:52HClso databox enforces it to be correct or tells them to go to hell
13:26:04preglowwell, those people will still probably use databox
13:26:04LinusNHCl: databox can still enforce it
13:26:06HClit simply refuses to save a query
13:26:07preglowso it can still enforce
13:26:08HClif its not correct
13:26:18B4gderit could still be a picky parser
13:26:21preglowpeople who have no clue, wont try writing queries by hand
13:26:32LinusNas it is now, i can't generate the searches on my pc
13:26:49HClLinusN: i'd have to write a lexical scanner for databox, which isn't *that* much of a problem
13:26:50B4gderwe could even have a search query generator web pge
13:26:57HClbut users would get things like
13:27:11preglowB4gder: neat idea
13:27:16HCl"number found where string compare expected"
13:27:18HClstuff like that
13:27:24LinusNmy first try was actually to write a query in a text editor, because i couldn't imagine that the query files were not ascii :-)
13:27:38preglowi agree they need to be ascii anyway
13:27:40preglowbinary is badness
13:27:48HClwell
13:27:58HCli absolutely refuse to deal with retard users who mess it up cause of that..
13:28:04preglowthen dont
13:28:05HClso you'd have to deal with that
13:28:07B4gderwelcome to rockbox
13:28:12B4gder:-)
13:28:17B4gderwe have end users
13:28:22LinusNwe deal with retard users every day
13:28:24HClB4gder: i specifically made databox in such a way that they *can't* screw it up
13:28:29B4gderwell
13:28:30preglowyou still can
13:28:36B4gderthey can't use it at all :-)
13:28:39preglowpeople can STILL edit your binary files
13:28:41CoCoLUSlet the mr-users vote :)
13:28:46LinusNHCl: no, you made it in a way that nobody would be able to use it :-)
13:28:52HClpreglow: yea, but thats their own fault if they edit the binary files
13:28:55preglowyes
13:28:58HClLinusN: its really not *that* hard to use
13:28:59preglowas it is if they edit the ascii files
13:29:04HCldatabox is pretty straightforward
13:29:04B4gderHCl: it really is
13:29:18preglowanywho
13:29:25preglowi'm moving to faster internet land, so gotta get packing
13:29:26preglowlater
13:29:28B4gderbut it is only due to the lack of ocs
13:29:29B4gderdocs
13:29:32LinusNusing the databox plugin is pure guesswork today, as there are no docs at all
13:29:35 Quit preglow ("CGI:IRC")
13:29:36HClyes, so i'll write some documentation
13:29:49CtcpIgnored 1 channel CTCP requests in 0 seconds at the last flood
13:29:49*amiconn feels like a nobody as I am able to use it...
13:29:57LinusNi am too
13:30:16LinusNi know how to use it, and i have even made searches with it
13:31:31B4gderI fired it up once and got so scared I've never tried it again
13:32:10B4gderI felt like writing a compiled regex
13:32:30amiconnNah, regex is certainly harder to understand than databox
13:32:41B4gdernot to me
13:33:19B4gderit is possibly because I had a different idea of what I'd meet
13:34:26LinusNprobably
13:36:37LinusNHCl: what's the status on read/write of runtime db in rockbox? (the wiki says 90%)
13:38:52HClLinusN: it pretty much works, doesn't work on archos yet because archos needs the audio hooks that the runtime database uses implemented
13:38:58HClaside from that it should work fine
13:39:09LinusNHCl: those are there now, iirc
13:39:10B4gderamiconn fixed those hooks, right?
13:39:19HCloh, then it should work fine :)
13:39:44LinusNand what is this? " Save info to runtime db on play (fairly decent code in cvs)"
13:40:10HClwe changed the "fairly decent code" to a buffered design
13:40:14HClso that can be changed to done
13:40:21HClthough i could use some more bugtesting on it
13:40:38B4gder... more people will use it once they learn how to
13:41:31amiconnHCl: Don't you check the commits? ;) I added the hooks on Sunday, they seem to work okay
13:41:36B4gderand with plain text searches, it will be a killer
13:41:43amiconn...although I didn't test all cases
13:41:43LinusNabsolutely
13:41:47HClamiconn: i haven't been able to look at rockbox for quite a while
13:42:50amiconnLinusN: Seen my 2 additions for the 2.5 todo list?
13:43:45B4gderI don't think the code size is a problem as long as we manage to keep below 200K until release
13:43:54LinusNamiconn: null pointer and code size?
13:43:56B4gderand then I suggest we go 2-step boot after 2.5
13:45:03*HCl has to charge his iriver..
13:46:27amiconnB4gder: I don't like this idea
13:46:39B4gdertwo step?
13:46:42LinusNamiconn: a 2-step boot loader?
13:46:47amiconnyes
13:46:50B4gderwhat other solutions is there+
13:46:51B4gder?
13:47:01B4gderstop adding features?
13:47:01amiconnReduce code bloat...
13:47:15LinusNamiconn: where is this huge bloat?
13:47:50LinusNi can imagine that we can trim a few kbyte here and there
13:47:53B4gderI don't see how we can continue expanding features while remain at the same code size
13:48:09amiconnIt's not exactly huge, but there are quite some areas where we can save space without removing features
13:48:20[IDC]Dragonfrom the off: stop expanding sounds good ;-)
13:48:42amiconnOne point is localisation v2, but certainly not the only one
13:48:55[IDC]Dragonif we continue growing, there will be no mp3 buffer left
13:49:12B4gderyes
13:49:16[IDC]Dragonmissing the point of an mp3 player
13:49:17B4gderby the year 2043
13:49:28B4gder:-)
13:49:36*HCl made a crude databox usage thing
13:49:47[IDC]Dragonhey, we have so many features, we had to drop the music playing thing
13:49:47amiconnLinusN: One thing I would like to do is to tell gcc to use .rodata.srt1.1 instead of .rodata.str1.4 on SH1
13:49:51HCli have to go in a bit, i know its pretty horrid and such, but i tried to explain the basics
13:49:59amiconnI didn't find a way to do this yet...
13:50:20[IDC]Dragonwhat is this 1.1 / 1.4 stuff?
13:51:16amiconn.rodata.str1 means simple (char) string, as opposed to e.g. .rodata.str2 would mean wchar
13:51:23amiconnthe .1 / .4 is the alignment
13:51:46[IDC]Dragonwewaste space in front of text strings?
13:51:51[IDC]Dragonwe waste
13:52:11amiconnactually between and after them, 1.5 bytes per string on average
13:52:25B4gderI don't see how we can manage to stay below 200K long-term
13:52:47[IDC]Dragon200k sounds reasonable for such a box
13:52:51B4gderwe'll have to remove features
13:53:03B4gderand make things iriver-only
13:53:06[IDC]Dragonor, out-source them
13:53:13LinusNoverlays?
13:53:43amiconnSome things could indeed be removed from the core
13:53:52[IDC]Dragonif you guys keep insisting on a large firmware, you can use bootbox to start it
13:54:00B4gdernot all can flash
13:54:11[IDC]Dragonno, as a 1st leve loader
13:54:16[IDC]Dragon level
13:54:17amiconnE.g, if we bundle some default searches, the built-in database search can and should be removed
13:54:17B4gderyes, right
13:54:43LinusN[IDC]Dragon: who are "you guys"?
13:55:00[IDC]Dragonthose who like >200k ;-)
13:55:07*amiconn doesn't
13:55:12B4gderbuilt-in database search?
13:55:19B4gderisn't that a plugin?
13:55:25amiconnNope
13:55:32amiconnI mean the one Zagor coded
13:55:41LinusNah, the freetext search?
13:56:07B4gderthat could indeed be a plugin
13:56:11*[IDC]Dragon would welcome an option-decluttering
13:56:13B4gderI guess
13:56:24LinusN[IDC]Dragon: agree
13:56:26B4gder[IDC]Dragon: good luck managing that ;-)
13:56:42[IDC]Dragonworks only by authority
13:56:46B4gdertrue
13:57:00[IDC]Dragondon't try demokracy on that
13:57:10LinusNone example is the line selector
13:57:29LinusNit could just as well be an inverse bar
13:57:46[IDC]DragonI always use the inverse bar
13:57:50LinusNme too
13:57:52[IDC]Dragonsaves a char
13:57:54B4gderI agree
13:58:23LinusNsaves a bit of code space
13:58:41*LinusN is tempted to remove it right away
13:58:52[IDC]Dragonso the FM build went >200K?
13:58:56LinusNyes
13:59:03[IDC]Dragonhow come it's green again?
13:59:10LinusNi changed the compiler
13:59:19[IDC]Dragonto which?
13:59:22amiconnThey are 80 bytes less than 200K now with gcc 3.3.6
13:59:39[IDC]Dragonah, I use 3.3.5
14:00
14:00:25amiconnMaybe 3.3.5 will manage that too, but 3.3.4 didn't
14:00:40[IDC]Dragonhow about the credits in a file?
14:00:46LinusNa plugin
14:00:52[IDC]Dragonor that
14:00:53B4gderwe make it a direct-used plugin

14:01:28B4gderof the kind of previously removed ;-)
14:01:39B4gder"we previously"
14:02:32*amiconn contemplates applying a similar method to the credits as he did for the language strings
14:02:43amiconn...saving the need to store the pointers
14:03:01amiconn...and circumventing the string alignment problem at the same time
14:03:02LinusNwon't be necessary if we move it to a plugin
14:03:25amiconnWill save ~5.5 bytes per credit
14:03:53LinusNthe plugin will fit in memory without those optimizations
14:04:12[IDC]Dragonwhat size are the credits?
14:04:33B4gderthere are some 130 names now
14:05:22amiconn~2 KB
14:05:33amiconn(with all the alignment waste)
14:05:36amiconnPlus pointers
14:06:03LinusN30k left then
14:06:04amiconnAnother ~500 bytes
14:06:34[IDC]Dragonok, let's add pictures of everybody ;-)

15:40:35Bgergood B4gder
15:41:02B4gderI should make that page get auto-updated
15:41:10B4gderbut not right now
15:43:17BgerB4gder: any idea whether the "player" works with cyrillic chars ?
15:43:26B4gderit doesn't
15:43:41Bgerok, it doesn't have them in its charset, but ...
15:44:09B4gderthe player only has 8 (or 4) reprogrammable letters
15:44:53Bgeri think amiconn said something about remapping cyr. chars to their like-looking latin ones
15:45:12B4gderah, yes that might be a way
15:45:26BgerB4gder: i know for the 4 and 8 chars ...

15:47:14B4gdercurrently the player code strives hard to support iso8859-1
15:47:21ep0chhey, does anyone know if there's is a BPM plugin for rockbox? i.e. calculates the tempo of button tapping?
15:47:32B4gderbut it could of course be changed to do the same for cyrillic
15:47:57Bgeri can help with that .. :)
15:48:14B4gderand it uses a replacement table for the cases where it can't reprogram the letters
15:49:22B4gderep0ch: I believe the metronome plugin have something like that
15:49:27ep0chahhh
15:50:20ep0chdamn and i wanted to write my first rockbox plugin :)
15:59:59amiconn[IDC]Dragon: Here now
16:00
16:00:25amiconnB4gder: I still plan to implement cyrillic for the player
16:00:40B4gder"still" ?
16:00:42amiconnI have a complete replacement table
16:00:56amiconnI already plan to do that for some months
16:00:59B4gderaha
16:01:02B4gderdidn't know
16:01:31B4gderisn't it mostly to make a setting and use alternative tables?
16:01:40amiconnI'm a bit undecided when to start; this will for sure need adjustment for unicode support
16:01:51B4gderoh right
16:02:12amiconnYes, it's "just" using alternate tables, however, the current tables have fixed sizes
16:02:25Shebbep0ch, you could always do a nicer bpm calc, one that averages it all out rather than relying on the interval between each pair of clicks
16:02:53amiconnShebb: The metronome plugin does average
16:03:23amiconnB4gder: My first attempt wil probably be hackish, i.e. support cyrillic *instead* of extended latin
16:03:41B4gdermake sense
16:03:43B4gdermakes
16:05:15Bgeramiconn? i don't think this is really good
16:05:28Bgerif you have both latin & cyrillic tags for example ?
16:06:19amiconnI said extended latin, not latin
16:06:50Bgeraaaa, yeah
16:06:52Bgersorry
16:06:57amiconnPlain latin, i.e. ascii, is part of all codepages

16:58:19webguest24i looked at replaygain.org i couldn't really figure it out. I understand that you can set the gains on an individual track basis, or as an album, but how does it make songs from different albums the same loudness? is there a baseline loudness it uses or does it scan all the files and set them relative to each other? What happens when you buy a new album? Does that have the same relative loudness as the already replaygained albums? I'm guessing it
16:58:46Paul_The_NerdThere's a baseline
16:59:21webguest24thankyou

17:02:53webguest24cool pretty smart
17:03:07webguest24works really well so nice to not have to mess with the volume every song in the car
17:03:52Paul_The_NerdHonestly, if all rockbox did was offer basic music playback and replaygain, that'd be enough to get me to switch. :)
17:04:20*amiconn doesn't care about replaygain
17:04:36Paul_The_NerdI didn't used to.
17:04:37Learwell, it does that (on the iriver at least), and a lot more...
17:04:49Paul_The_NerdThen I downloaded the OCRemix archive, and... ouch.
17:05:11Paul_The_NerdYeah, I'm loving everything else it does too Lear. I switched before replaygain support was even in.
17:05:51LearAh, I read it as if you didn't use rb... :)
17:06:23Paul_The_NerdNo, I've been using it for a while. I keep trying to come up with some ways I can be more supportive of it.

21:32:15lost|X40yea, that's my next chore
21:32:15amiconnOthers reported that too
21:32:51lost|X40or it might be too great of a chore for me, but i'll try
21:33:08lost|X40*shrug* i blame everything /dev related on udev
21:33:12amiconnWindows doesn't have problems with that. Of course connecting an iriver 20050821 daily doesn't work, but subsequent attempts (new version, bootloader USB etc) work fine
21:33:45lost|X40yea, i noticed that too
21:35:53lost|X40ok, time to reboot to fix usb, thanks for the help

21:44:30phaedrus961amiconn: what did you mean when you said the unicode patch needs proper bidi support?
21:45:21phaedrus961(current bidi code is now working with unicode)
21:47:40amiconnI'm not an unicode expert, but I think there are at least 2 points:
21:48:29amiconn(1) The implementation should know which languages need which direction, and e.g. print arabic and hebrew parts of a string rtl, and latin etc ltr
21:49:10amiconn(2) Iirc there are some 'bidi-mark' codes, usable to manually switch direction
21:49:20phaedrus961(1) is done
21:50:04amiconnIf (1) is done, the option for enabling bidi support can go away. It is only needed for the current codepage-based implementation
21:50:57phaedrus961good point, I'll change that
21:51:10wreckerI'm just updating the WikiManual. Can someone explain to me in easy terms the difference between Track and Album gain on replaygain??
21:51:55phaedrus961also, I dont know if the entire string should be reversed or just blocks at a time, the current code does it in blocks, but has support for both ways
21:51:56paughhrm. usb unplug before unmounting is a bad things i take it?
21:52:42amiconnphaedrus961: The string can contain parts in different languages, so reversing the entire string is usually wrong
21:53:43amiconnUnicode has some more features that are difficult to implement in a compact way, e.g. combining marks
21:53:51amiconn- imho -
21:55:07phaedrus961yes, what I mean is this: the current implementation will change this "hebrew1 english1 hebrew2" to this "1werbeh english1 2werbeh"
21:55:51phaedrus961I think maybe it should be this "2werbeh english1 1werbeh"
21:56:39phaedrus961combining marks are also a problem, yes
21:57:14amiconnhttp://www.unicode.org/reports/tr9/
21:57:22amiconn'Fun' to read...
21:57:44phaedrus961maybe I should ask someone who uses the language how it should look?

22:03:20phaedrus961anyways, I will post the patch to the tracker soon, so that others can test it and give feedback on what could be done differently/better
22:11:06amiconnphaedrus961: There is some reference code for bidi linked in the web page I gave
22:11:40amiconn...even a C implementation exists, although not explicitly mentioned
22:12:54wreckerpaugh, I've just looked up some useful descriptions for this on the foobar website. Thanks anyway. I'll check out your link too.

23:38:47Bagderif you tell me your last name, I'll add your name to the credits
23:39:03Bagderjust committed your convbdf patch
23:39:05phaedrus961Dischner
23:39:20Bagderthanks!
23:39:21phaedrus961great!
23:40:19phaedrus961maybe you could look at this one too? http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&atid=439120&group_id=44306&aid=1249284
23:40:35phaedrus961it's not really a bug fix, but not a feature either
23:41:54Bagderstill, I'd rather wait with that

23:49:03amiconnBagder: What do you think about disabling functions which do exist for completeness, but aren't used by current code
23:49:05amiconn?
23:49:27Bagderyou have an example?
23:49:40amiconnI mean functions like checkbox(), or the menu functions for moving entries
23:49:57Bagderah
23:50:00amiconnWe could disable them with #if 0 and leave a comment
23:50:03BagderI'm for disabling them
23:51:39amiconnOn an unrelated note, I already saved >100 bytes in apps/recorder/widgets.c (from a total of ~620) without disabling checkbox()
23:52:05Bagder:-)
23:52:14amiconnIt is no longer necessary to check coordinate boundaries with the current lcd code
23:52:20 Join thegeek [0] (n=thegeek@s201a.studby.ntnu.no)
23:52:24amiconn...because current lcd code handles clipping
23:52:56Bagderright
23:52:56Bagdermultiple checking for the same things is probably present all over
23:55:18amiconn..and iirc the rockbox philosophy is to not check parameters to just protect from programmer errors
