06:02:54Andrew179I like the looks of the iaudio x5, but I haven't noticed any activity in the wiki about it
06:03:45Andrew179rockbox on the iriver was very nice, but new irivers are selling for way too much for me to get another one
06:04:17Andrew179so I guess my question is, does anyone know about the status of rockbox on the x5?

10:11:56Toni1Ah no, the issue on archos..
10:13:10LinusNToni1: you mean that you want to handle the case when the %F info isn't available?
10:13:57Toni1I did not investigate yet, but yes.
10:15:46LinusNwhat are the symptoms of your problem?
10:17:07Toni1I mainly like to get some more greens in the ReleaseToDos. So I thought, this might be a good starting point.
10:17:42LinusNoh
10:19:33Toni1If there is nothing to be done on that item, how about the playlist issue? Do you know, wether it is reproducable?

10:54:14B4gderHCl: how come you treat a zero crc32 as no crc?
10:54:39 Join mbr [0] (n=mb@stz-softwaretechnik.de)
10:54:44B4gderin the runtimedb
10:54:57HClum, why not 0? o.o..
10:55:05B4gderbecause a crc32 is 32bits
10:55:18B4gder0 is thus a valid crc32 value
10:55:22HClits either that or adding an extra field to the tagdatabase whether a file has an valid crc or not
10:55:27HCli know
10:56:13B4gderI just think it is a way too weird thing to do, imagine the day someone actually get a file with crc zero
10:56:38HClthen that one file won't work in the runtime database
10:56:43B4gderyes
10:56:54HCli need a way to determine whether a file has a valid crc or not
10:56:58B4gderwhy?
10:57:09HCli can take out the code entirely but that would work rather icky
10:57:18HClcause all files with no crc would share the same runtime data
10:57:28HClwhich is hardly what you want
10:57:48B4gderif you disabled the CRC on purpose you surely don't care
10:58:22HClwell, the 0 value is used elsewhere as well, like when for unknown reasons an io error occured when reading the file for crc.
10:58:42HClin any case
10:58:55HClits only an improvement over the proposed "1" value
10:59:24B4gderthat "improvement" showed a problem in the implemtation that I was unaware of
11:00
11:00:52HClwelp, i can bump the database version and add an crcvalid field, if you'd prefer that?
11:02:00HCli personally don't think that assuming a crc of 0 is invalid is so terrible
11:02:07B4gderI would prefer documentation
11:02:12HClsince there's a chance of 1 in 4 billion that one would actually encounter such a file

11:02:27B4gderCRCs aren't random
11:02:40B4gderso yes, until found out the chance is in a 4 billion
11:02:41HCli know that
11:03:15B4gderso
11:03:20B4gderif this would've been documented
11:03:27B4gderI would've reacted a long time ago
11:03:42LinusNB4gder: read the source code :-)
11:04:13HClshall i add a comment on the wiki saying that crc 0 means the crc is invalid?
11:04:18B4gderyes please
11:04:41B4gderI'll make sure songdb.pl never creates a zero crc

11:06:45HClSlasheri: well, the only alternative is adding a field that says whether the crc is valid or not to the fileentry
11:07:02LinusNyes
11:07:15LinusNso we should do that
11:07:51B4gderthe alternative is to hack the crc32 functions to never return 0
11:07:55RickI don't think that's much of a problem
11:07:59Rick1 byte
11:08:03Rickoooooh... ahhhh...
11:08:04Rick:P
11:08:47B4gderthe one byte is not the problem
11:08:54B4gderthe all-people-need-to-adjust is the problem
11:09:13LinusNi don't see the problem
11:09:43HClyea, what B4gder said
11:09:55HCli'm just glad that the tagdatabase is detached from the runtime database
11:09:56LinusNsure, people will need to regenerate their databases
11:10:02HClso it won't invalidate the runtime database
11:10:48LinusNwe can't strive for backward compatibility for the daily builds
11:11:06HClyea, it would require way too much new code added
11:19:27Rickwell

11:43:16LinusNHCl: good idea
11:43:21kurzhaarrockeramiconn, in case you are interested: When I compile gcc for sh1 with knoppix it fails to compile embed-bb.c because it doesn't find stdio.h, sys/types.h, (and more) included from tsystem.h
11:43:47LinusNHCl: psst: it's "algorithm"

11:44:05*HCl will print it down somewhere to remember
11:44:32LinusNkurzhaarrocker: then you need the newlib fix
11:44:34thegeekhehehe
11:44:37thegeek"print it down";)
11:45:11kurzhaarrockerI already have put newlib in the gcc directory
11:45:24LinusNthen it should work
11:45:59HCli hate altering the runtime database, but. i should add the hashtype field to the runtime database as well
11:46:12LinusNwhy do you hate altering it?
11:46:23HClbecause it completely invalidates all runtime info gathered by users
11:46:38HCland requires them to start from scratch
11:46:39LinusNah, the *runtime* database
11:46:49LinusNi should learn to read
11:47:12HCli will write a java converter to update an old runtime database to the improved format.
11:47:19HClso people won't lose their database
11:47:53LinusNwrite a small script to migrate it
11:49:03HClyea
11:49:10HCli guess perl should work fine too
11:49:17HClits a simple adjustment
11:52:12kurzhaarrockerlet me guess: there's a -i missing in the parameters that are passed to xgcc: <snip>-isystem /home/knoppix/gcc-3.3.6/newlib/libc/include </snip>

13:21:03amiconnHmm. It seems the voice entries in the .lang files need some attention. http://forums.rockbox.org/index.php?topic=1416.msg8580#msg8580
13:21:33amiconn(or it's just me needing to create up-to-date voice files)
13:22:30preglowhmm
13:22:37preglowi wonder how rockbox would work with a preemptive threading system
13:23:19B4gderwe'd need to add lots of locks and mutex calls all over
13:23:20Slasheriat the moment it absolutely would not
13:23:25Slasheriyes
13:23:37Slasheribut indeed, pre-emptive threading would be nice
13:23:47preglowperhaps
13:24:30preglowit's just that yield() bugs are pretty obscure, but i'm not certain preemptive threads would make our lives easier
13:24:49amiconnI think they would do the opposite
13:25:03B4gderI agree
13:26:12preglowi tend to agree as well
13:28:53amiconnThe yield() bug with the archos was so obscure because it was not just a missing yield()
13:29:28amiconnThe audio_beep() *did* yield before, although it wasn't visible. The i2c code yields when waiting for the device
13:30:18amiconnThe real problem was that both main and mpeg thread tried to use i2c and didn't yield explicitly., So one could block the other as i2c access is mutexed
13:49:13LinusNimho, preemptive multitasking opens the door to way more obscure bugs than the yield() bugs
13:50:22preglowvery probably true
13:50:37preglowi've bumped into my share of obscure threading bugs
13:51:15preglowand anyway, cooperative threading makes it easier to properly use things like code cache
13:57:28amiconnI think preemptive multitasking would also increase code size
14:00
14:00:31preglowbut anywho, if i were to code a wavwriter, any thoughts on how it should be implemented? i was thinking something along a file context menu entry
14:02:19LinusNwould be cool
14:02:25LinusNa transcode plugin :-)
14:02:26preglowamiconn says he doesn't want one
14:02:47preglowLinusN: yeah, linuxstb says he wants to code it as a plugin, problem is, we then need a way for plugins to load codecs
14:02:58LinusNwell, it would primarily be a debugging tool, so kind of agree
14:03:17preglowsure, me too, but this is a debugging tool that also has uses for those thusly inclined
14:03:34amiconnLinusN: I noticed that VBRI headers aren't fully supported in mp3data.c. I wonder why, there's quite some documentation on the net...
14:03:50preglowarbitrary seek support, perhaps?
14:03:51LinusNwhen i wrote it, there were no docs
14:03:59preglowwe'll need a dynamic buffer
14:04:28LinusNplus, the seek table is bigger than the xing
14:04:43LinusNand seeking involves more calculation than xing, iirc
14:04:43preglowi think it can be as big as you want it to

14:05:32amiconnLinusN: The seek table is variable size with VBRI, however, I think that shouldn't stop us from supporting it
14:05:33preglowanyway, i don't think it's too widespread
14:05:38LinusNthe vbri reference code uses floats
14:06:19LinusNamiconn: the vbri seek table can be pretty big, and it uses longs instead of bytes
14:06:30LinusNso it will be considerably bigger
14:06:39LinusNbut that should be a big problem
14:06:44preglowwhat, xing seek table uses _bytes_ ?
14:06:46LinusNshould *not*
14:06:55preglowno wonder it has such low granularity
14:07:01LinusNbah, me silly
14:07:15LinusNpreglow: of course it doesn't
14:07:29LinusNi'm just babbling
14:07:34preglowgoodie
14:08:05*preglow plays with his new iram
14:08:05LinusNanyway, the reason we don't support vbri is that the docs weren't there when i wrote the vbri parser, and i just haven't cared since

15:06:27amiconnLinusN: I have a slight problem with my intended playtime calculation changes. I have to prevent overflows, which are more likely with a formula like filetime = framecount * framesamples / frequency than with the current filetime = framecount * frametime / 1000

15:07:13LinusNint64
15:07:19LinusNlong long
15:07:46amiconnI'm hesitant to use long long just for this. It would cause the multiplication and division routines to be linked to the binary

15:22:28preglowso, replaygain support wont yield anything more than mp3gain support

15:25:00LinusNrasher: no, i don't know much about the hebrew fonts
15:25:30rasherThey don't work with the current translation, that's for sure

15:26:54rasherUsing an iso8859-8 font from rasher.dk/rockbox/fonts/hebrew/">http://www.rasher.dk/rockbox/fonts/hebrew/ looks right
15:27:18rasherNot that I know hebrew, but I'm pretty sure it's supposed to be written using only those letters

16:11:51amiconnIiuc both do the same thing, only in a different waY
16:12:17preglowthey both do the same, mp3gain additionally alters each frame to make all players support it directly, however, the intrinsic mp3 gain granularity is 1.5 db
16:12:48LinusNpreglow: but does mp3gain add replaygain tags?
16:12:53preglowLinusN: probably not
16:12:59preglowbut i have no idea
16:13:01amiconnWhile replaygain adds tags that store a level-correction value and works for various formats, mp3gain modifies all frames directly, and works for mp3 only
16:13:05LinusNso there is no connection then
16:13:11preglowi believe mp3gain adds tags as well

16:30:58preglowamiconn: sounds more like they're talking to other people
16:31:02rasherThey still need to define the glyphs, or there'll be blanks
16:31:30preglowrasher: ahh, i thought the format allowed non-existing glyphs
16:31:40rasherAh, no.
16:31:57preglowif they're not even the same size as the hebrew portion, they sound kind of useless
16:32:06amiconnpreglow: Ah, seems I slightly misread the statement
16:32:12rasherSpeaking of - there should be some "missing glyph" bitmap

16:44:58rasherWhy I think a "no glyph" bitmap is a good idea: http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1208986&group_id=44306&atid=439118
16:45:07amiconnYou will always ever need only one voice file per language. You can choose from several voices
16:45:22amiconnOne voice takes ~5 minutes on my laptop
16:45:29amiconnErgh, wrong
16:45:44amiconn*All* voices together take ~5 minutes
16:45:52preglowall voice files?
16:45:54preglownot bad
16:46:06amiconn(a total of six voice files; 5 english and 1 german)
16:46:19rasherAny objections to committing the 8859-8 versions of the Hebrew-* fonts? They lack some of the characters from the current versions, but I'm not sure how they'd ever be used.
16:46:23amiconn~50 seconds/voice
16:46:58preglowstill some problems with the new macsr setup
16:47:05rasherAlso, the current versions aren't compatible with the current hebrew.lang
16:47:19HClhi
16:47:20amiconnThe upload takes much longer; that's why I asked for a way to automate it when localisation v2 will be added
16:48:03preglowhmm
16:48:08amiconnThis will cause the number of voice files to multiply. If I wanted to support all 6 voices, there would be 36 files
16:48:16preglowdoes the voice ui work with wavpack playing for you guys?
16:48:17amiconn(6 voices * 6 platforms)
16:49:19amiconnPlatforms: Player, recorder v1, recorder fm/v2 (they're identical), ondio sp, ondio fm, iriver H1x0
16:49:38preglowit doesn't here, and i suspect that's a result of the CODEC_DSP_ENABLE thing
16:49:54rashermore than likely I'd say
16:50:05amiconnThe first 5 would be in bitswapped mp3 format, the last one in non-swapped mp3 or whatever voice code we will decide upon
16:51:12amiconnAutomated upload should be easy with curl, only precondition is that I'd need an account on the rockbox.org server

16:54:05preglowdoing it with usb2? :]
16:54:23rasherTake out the harddisk, connect it using a 2.5->3.5 adaptor?
16:54:46preglowbah
16:54:54preglowthe CONFIG_DSP_ENABLE flag has to go
16:55:14kurzhaarrockera good idea - but it's not worh the effort, rasher

16:56:23rasherLooks like curl can do HTTP POST with binary data
16:56:28amiconnWrite a simple plugin that generates (2GB-1)-sized files

17:43:23kurzhaarrockerWhy does the build date have to be in the fat driver?
17:44:43amiconnWell, the non-rtc units need some faked date to use when writing files
17:45:02kurzhaarrockerok
17:45:15amiconnThe starting date used to be fixed at 2003-08-01
17:45:31amiconnIt's certainly better to let it start at the build date
17:45:57kurzhaarrockerSo you have to build rockbox faster than you write the file....

17:57:35HClsure, i agree with that
17:57:49HClthe only problem is that i looked at directly adding to the playlist a while ago and couldn't figure it out
17:58:05rasherI guess that can be left out
17:58:14HClnaw
17:58:20rasherWell, not permanently
17:58:21HClwe need that feature
17:58:27rasherBut for starters
17:58:31HClhmm.
17:58:33HClone thing though
17:58:42HClwhat about running searches that we previously saved?
17:59:00rasher"If the plugin is opened using "Open with" on an .rsp file, the file should come up in "edit mode", the way databox does right now if you enter an existing filename."
17:59:12HClso then you have to browse it before you can run it?
17:59:26rasherHm.. is that a problem?

18:01:24rasherIn fact, with my proposal that's *the way* to edit a search
18:01:30amiconnYou would then use "Open with..."->databox to edit
18:01:42rasherOh, my idea is to unify the two

18:03:22rasherI know, I just think having it be a two-step process is not very userfriendly

18:03:49HCli know, the original idea was that we were going to have an interface where you can do an exec() like operation for plugins
18:03:51rasherBut it'd be a question of running the file, pressing select (or whichever button), and it's run
18:04:01HClso you'd call the searchengine plugin from databox

18:05:57NewbyoneIf I want to use your plugin, is it harder to understand how is work
18:06:03rasherHCl: I understand that this would be a bit slower, but I think the benefits and increased userfriendlyness is worth it
18:06:19Newbyonesyntax is complicated for lambda people
18:06:33HClrasher: thats my problem.. it would decrease userfriendlyness to actually run a search..
18:06:47rasherI don't think so
18:06:54Newbyoneis it possible to have in databox words not sign
18:06:54amiconnrasher: Independently whether the plugins get merged or not, we still need a way to make a plugin both a viewer and a standard plugin
18:07:09HClNewbyone: i don't understand what you mean with words not sign
18:07:25rasherYou get to see the query, and have the possibility of editing if you want to
18:07:34rasheramiconn: That's true
18:07:38Newbyone< >... are word signifiant, no? :)
18:07:56HCl< > tags mean tags that belong to the song
18:08:09Newbyonefor exemple
18:08:18HClrasher: we could add an item "run and play" on top of the main menu to reduce it to 2 clicks
18:08:42HCland open the menu by default when opening an existing query
18:08:47rasherYeah, the second menu could be removed
18:08:50NewbyoneHCl: but for user lambda is not very intuitive, can it be more readable?
18:09:06HCllambda? last time i checked thats not in databox
18:09:08Newbyonefor you guys is easy
18:09:41Newbyonescuse lamda people=x user
18:09:44HCli highly suggest that users use the search song / artist / album options in the browse tagdatabase for basic searches
18:10:15Newbyoneyes but in this way we can't use your plugins
18:10:26HClpersonally, i don't really see how databox could be made more intuitive, without resorting to graphical widgets
18:10:37Newbyoneare they just for you dev? or something?
18:10:37HCllet me put it this way
18:10:51HClno, but i highly suggest that people that don't understand it don't use it o.o;
18:11:06Newbyonepitty for us
18:11:07HClif you get databox to allow you to save your query, then its correct

18:11:52HCli specifically designed databox in such a way so that its idiot-proof, it simply refuses to save invalid queries
18:12:26HClin theory, as long as you mess around with it enough and try to understand it
18:12:35HClas long as it allows you to save, your search query should be correct.
18:12:44Newbyonejust for exemple before you did this plugins, you wanted something for "create me 1980's songs..., this is very understandable for newbiees
18:12:58HClin databox it would be something like
18:13:06HClyear >= 1980 and year <1990

18:14:27HClso that newbies can use predefined searches
18:14:33rasherNewbyone: That's simply not going to happen. You have to formulate the query in a precise manner - which is the databox syntax
18:14:37HClwithout having to worry about them editing and screwing them up or them having to understand how it works
18:14:50Newbyonemake sentences more easy no, it's why said you "words"

18:54:29HClmaybe we can add some extra parameter when called from browse .rps files?

19:04:27rasherStill needs a way for the plugin to be in two places
19:04:32rasherdon't know how that'd work
19:10:48amiconnrasher: Imho, /.rockbox/searches should simply be shown in a sub-browser from the core, rather than as an extra choice in the plugin
19:11:04amiconnSame method as the .fnt / .wps etc... browsers
19:11:18rasher Any Hebrew people here/reading logs?
19:11:23rasherHebrew-speaking/reading
19:12:24amiconnWe would have a far easier job with these search thingies if we would have a way that a viewer plugin can distinguish whether it was invoked via "open with" or via running the file
19:12:38amiconnopening an -
19:12:59amiconn.rsp with "open with" would then open it for editing, while playing would execute the query
19:13:25amiconnThis wouldn't be a problem when both plugins stay separate though

19:14:09rasherI don't think they'll stay seperate?
19:14:17amiconnWhy not?
19:14:20rasherAnd I agree, that'd be a nice way of handling it
19:14:49rasherWell, because having them split is a usability nightmare in my opinion
19:15:03amiconnNot if we have a way to chain them
19:16:16rasherIt'd still be very non-obvious
19:16:42rasherAnd require creating a way of chaining them
19:17:00 Join Maxime [0] (n=flemmard@fbx.flemmard.net)
19:17:01rasherAnyway, Run, select edit is quicker than opening context menu and then open with
19:17:21rasherSo I withdraw my support of seperating run from open with
19:17:57amiconnImho that'd be the best approach brought up so far...
19:19:08amiconnChaining would also use that method, only without requiring to be able to distinguish in the plugin
19:19:40rasherWhat's wrong with the "Run and play / Run and save playlist / Edit" menu?
19:21:18amiconnExecuting the query would take longer
19:21:18 Quit webguest80 ("CGI:IRC (EOF)")
19:21:23rasherYou'd still need to differentiate between "run and play" and "run and save playlist"
19:21:45rasherAnd "edit" would be hidden in non-obvious obscurity
19:22:08amiconnWhat would be the benefit of having these 2 modes?
19:22:34amiconnYou can always run a saved playlist with a simple click, and you can also save the current playlist
19:23:04rasherSo you want it to always play the query?
19:23:16amiconn...apart that the latter doesn't make much sense to me for a playlist resulting from a query. You can always re-run the query
19:23:30rasherBut it might give different results next time
19:23:35rasherdepending on the query, of course
19:24:14amiconnWith your proposal, reaching edit mode would faster, but I think queries will be way more often just run than edited
19:24:42rasherA lot of people would need to ask how to edit a query
19:24:49rasherIf it was hidden in "open with"
19:25:05rasherAnd running a query is just pressing right twice
19:25:09rasherinstead of once
19:25:23rasher(differing keylayouts apply)
19:26:18amiconnHmm.
19:26:40amiconnWe still need a solution for the plugin being bivalent
19:27:20amiconnWhile thinking about this, I'd suggest to make the viewers.config mechanism a bit more flexible
19:27:41amiconnCurrently we always show all viewers in "open with"
19:28:25amiconnWhile I do not want to restrict the list to just these plugins that support the extension (that would e.g. prevent viewing a .cfg with the text viewer)...
19:29:09amiconnI would like to have a mechanism whether a viewer is a catch-all, like the text viewer, or a specialised one
19:29:56 Join webguest97 [0] (n=8ddfd339@labb.contactor.se)
19:31:00rasherYeah, a flag field in viewers.conf would be helpful

21:31:41rasherIt's not the most common type of cable
21:32:22]RowaN[aparently its quite standard for pc soundcards to have this kind out digital out, so im surprised it wasnt easier to find a cable to buy

21:43:40rasherAlthough I suspect he may be doing something wrong, because screenshots show characters that are no longer in the font
21:47:14amiconnHmm, perhaps he didn't install everything, and still has the old fonts

22:11:31rasherLear: The answer to that question lies in the end of your sentence.
22:11:35 Quit arkascha (Remote closed the connection)
22:12:13LearHm... Don't know, is it tricky to know exactly when the track change occurs? Because that's when the volume needs to change.
22:12:41LearBut only partial support is possible anyway (clip prevention isn't possible)...
22:12:53LinusNof course
22:13:25LinusNLear: audio_set_track_changed_event()
22:13:55LinusNhmmm, maybe not
22:13:57amiconnLinusN: Not quite
22:14:08LearHaven't really looked at it, but maybe I should. I do have a player lying around, so I can't blame it on not being able to test it. :)

22:15:20LinusNall these silly callbacks are annoying me

22:15:39 Join webguest09 [0] (n=5087f038@labb.contactor.se)
22:15:50amiconnLinusN: I don't see why callbacks are silly
22:16:07LinusNamiconn: how about calling system_reboot() instead of rolo_load() in panic.c?
22:16:11webguest09wwhich is technically superior, flac or wavpack ?
22:16:28rasherI'd say wavpack.
22:16:43LearHeh, is there even room for replaygain support on the archos? :) If the volume function takes a db value, that would save some code...
22:16:45LinusNthe callbacks are silly because all they do is add a level of complexity
22:16:52amiconnIn the case of runtime db on archos, directly calling the runtimedb functions from the playback code would mean direct calls from firmware layer to application - certainly not any better
22:18:00LinusNyes, that's why the playback code should be moved
22:18:24LinusNthe callbacks are there only to solve that problem
22:18:50amiconnIn fact they were there before I added runtimedb for archos
22:18:53LinusNif the playback code had been in apps, the callbacks would not be needed
22:19:05LinusNyes, they were added by the a-b repeat
22:19:12amiconnOtherwise I would had to add them
22:19:24amiconnNo, they were added way before that
22:19:44amiconn...by Slasheri, for better runtimedb support
22:19:59LinusNah ok
22:20:10rasherHrm.. Hebrew fonts are small... any objections to adding a larger one from my fonts-page?

22:20:47rashercan't imagine we're not
22:20:54rasherI'll find the precise terms
22:21:03amiconnLinusN: I agree that system_reboot() would be way better than rolo_load() both in panicf() and uie()
22:21:14amiconnrolo_load() often doesn't work
22:22:56amiconnI wonder whether there is sufficient time left before release to fix the splash() issue with hebrew/arabic
22:23:08LinusNah, bidi?
22:23:10rasherCripes, /usr/share/doc/xfonts-75dpi/copyright is 75kb
22:23:50amiconnLinusN: Yes. The problem is that splash() lcd_putsxy()s each word in a line separately, so the word order is reversed for rtl languages
22:24:03amiconn...because the rtl handling is done in the lcd driver
22:24:11LinusNaha
22:24:18rasherAh, the font is one of those "Public domain font. Share and enjoy" ones.
22:24:28LinusNrasher: good
22:24:31amiconnsplash() would need to lcd_putsxy() each line as a whole after line-wrapping
22:25:09amiconn...and lshachar probably needs to adjust the hebrew translation back to normal, as it is now adjusted to this reversal
22:25:27amiconnThis won't work well with varying font sizes anyway
22:25:49rasherI'm just going to go with the one he suggested: rasher.dk/rockbox/fonts/hebrew/8x13B-L8.png">http://www.rasher.dk/rockbox/fonts/hebrew/8x13B-L8.png
22:27:10LinusNamiconn: speaking of font sizes, i think the xtal font has a too big line spacing
22:27:38rasherThe nimbus font "fixes" this
22:28:17rasherHoly crap.. The tab completion of bash just scared me.
22:28:37rasher"cvs add <tab>" only cycles through files which are not known by cvs
22:30:07rasherBy the way, I noticed this earlier.. why does the Rockbox source-header not specify a GPL version?
22:30:49LinusNi dunno
22:31:40LinusNwe do refer to docs/COPYING
22:31:43Bagderlet's blame Zagor ;-)
22:31:45LinusNwhich is v2
22:31:55rasherAh, true
22:32:13LinusNbut we could of course be more explicit
22:32:15Bagderit should mention that in the boilerplate anyway
22:32:40rasherThe license says that if you don't specify a version, you can use any version
22:32:48rasherIncluding v1

23:23:10amiconnLinusN: Regarding my quickmenu idea: This would practically replace (or complement) two-button combos by two-button sequences, which has 2 advantages
23:23:43amiconn(1) There are no restrictions as with the combos (buttons that can't be detected together at the same time)
23:23:55amiconn(2) It allows for one-handed operation
23:24:29rasherBy the way, there is a pretty serious problem with non-latin1 translations
23:24:42amiconnIt will probably require a button beep with voice ui, to provide feedback for the first keypress
23:24:57rasherUsing the default font gives gibberish for those translations

23:32:08rasherpreglow: http://www.rockbox.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/ReleaseTodo .. all of the ones marked "investigating" or "not fixed" for now, I think
23:32:12amiconnIt helps here that the player lcd does only show 22 characters at once
23:32:31rasherTrue, but that's still 14 short - how would that work?

23:32:55preglowhmm
23:32:57preglowthat's quite a lot
23:33:04amiconnSo if we have a script that needs only a certain percentage of redefined characters, this will hopefully be sufficient
23:33:36amiconnE.g. cyrillic uses many letters that look equivalent to latin letters

23:33:41rasherAh, like that
23:33:58amiconnThe player code already does dynamic reuse of the 8 definable characters
23:34:17rasherI'm thinking some of those bugs are less critical (at least the "sometimes shuffle may play the same song more than once")
23:34:24preglowheh
23:34:52amiconnThat means, as long as the current display content needs at max. 8 redefinable characters, it will look perfect
23:34:54preglowis it easily reproducible?
23:35:03rasherpreglow: Don't think so
23:35:29amiconnWith more alien characters, the code would resort to using replacement characters for some of them
23:35:51rasherHrm, cyrillic has "A E K M H O P C T Y B"
23:36:13rasherand, interestingly, 4
23:36:21rasherdepending on how the player shows that
23:36:28amiconnThe replacements will be sorted by "ugliness", i.e. the most ugly replacements will be used last (hopefully practically never)
23:36:54amiconnI alraedy worked out a complete replacement table with a russian user
23:37:19rasherAh, excellent.
23:37:27amiconnrasher: http://www.rockbox.org/docs/rocklatin.html
23:37:57rasherAll these hidden pages
23:38:29amiconnIt's linked from the DocsIndex page...
23:38:50amiconnWhat more direct link did you expect?
23:39:15amiconn(It's under Rockbox Design Docs)
23:39:39rasherNothing specific, it just reminded me
23:39:57rasherthat the rockbox website has a lot of semi-hidden pages
23:40:00rasherand duplicated pages
23:40:11amiconnGrr, I can't find the default wps in the code...
23:40:59rasherwps-display.c
23:41:07rasherline 1560 ish
23:41:16amiconntnx.
23:41:26amiconnDidn't expect this to be within a function...
23:41:51rasherSomewhat obscure place
23:41:51 Quit TCK (Read error: 110 (Connection timed out))
23:43:23rasherhttp://www.misticriver.net/boards/showthread.php?t=28405 gotta love the optimism
23:44:02*amiconn did his first wps change in more than 18 months...
23:46:19rasherHm, would be nice if "codec failure" contained a error return value
23:46:35preglowand a message, heh
23:47:13preglowi daresay we've got enough code space left for that kind of user friendlyness on iriver
23:47:44preglowthe codec plugins are littered with errormessages that have been commented out
23:48:13rasherThey should just use the standard rockbox way of passing errors
23:48:23preglowwhich is?
23:48:47rashera negative int, and if the error comes from another function, add that times 10
23:48:50rasherehm
23:49:14rasherres = somefunction(); if (res < 10) return res * 10 - 3;
23:49:16preglowyes, but that's a far cry from anything the user might understand
23:49:21rasherSure
23:49:31rasher< 0, of coures
23:50:05amiconnCommon errors should be reported to the user in cleartext, localised
23:50:06preglowit would be nice to avoid posts like 'what does codec failure: -50 mean?#?#??#' when the message could have been 'codec failure: chained streams not yet supported'
23:50:24amiconnThis is done in a number of places on archos too
23:50:47preglowamiconn: sure, but passing temporary messages as english shouldn't be too nasty
23:51:02preglowsane people use english lang file anyway :]
23:51:03 Quit Maxime (Read error: 110 (Connection timed out))
23:51:04amiconnObscure errors that shouldn't happen during normal operations can be reported as short english text along with the error value
23:51:32amiconnpreglow: The passing should be done the standard rockbox way
23:51:50amiconnThe ui thread is responsible for displaying the cleartext messages
23:51:54preglowamiconn: would be nice, yes, but then it'd be pretty much up to the callee to decide what it means, yes?
23:52:07preglowand that's a pretty nasty place to put codec specific messages
23:52:44amiconnWhat codec specific messages do you want to throw at users???
23:52:47preglowbut anywho, permanent error messages should of course be localised anyhow
23:52:53preglowsomehow, i means
23:52:59preglowamiconn: like the example above
23:53:06preglowwith the chained ogg streams
23:53:39preglowamiconn: or perhaps 'he aac profile not supported'
23:53:57amiconnEither a codec doesn't manage to decode some stream, the a general error message should be sufficient, perhaps accompanied with the error code to give the devs a clue what's going on
23:54:12amiconnEverything else would be too techy for the average user
23:54:40preglowaight
23:54:43amiconnE.g. the jpeg viewer just displays "unsupported -4" if it encounters a progressive file
23:54:43iMarki recon the released builds should have some kind of logging support
23:55:00preglowi dont
23:55:07amiconn..and that string isn't localised just because it's not yet possible to localise plugins
23:55:11iMarkwhy not?
23:55:40preglowbecause error messages should tell the user all he needs to knwo
23:55:42preglowknow
23:55:56iMarkyeah, but when the developer needs info on a random crashbug
23:55:56preglowand log buffer takes space that should be used for music
23:56:03iMarktrue...
23:56:12preglowiMark: if it's crashed, you can't view the log buffer anyway
23:56:21iMark:/
23:56:39preglowiMark: and if you're suggesting we spin up the disk to write every log line, you're clearly had too much vokdka today :P
23:56:52amiconnpreglow: Yeah, an average user probably won't have a bdm wiggler... ;)
23:57:25preglowamiconn: so they say
23:57:26iMarkthey should put the bdm wiggler in the board next to the firewire800 port and wifi chip :P
23:57:56preglowiMark: of course, there's a very lucrative modding business just waiting to get started here
