#rockbox log for 2005-09-08

00:00:03rasherstrike that "amiconn"
00:00:05amiconnlol
00:00:18pill:)
00:00:24rasherI blame tab-completion.
00:00:24amiconnhttp://www.computerbase.de/lexikon/Liste_der_ID3v1-Genres confirms it
00:00:45pilldamn
00:00:53pillthat's why i didn't seen crossover too
00:00:55pillsee*
00:01:15pilland drumnbass
00:01:21pillall my favorite genres
00:01:25pilli guess i'm doomed
00:01:52rasherWell I assume adding them to Rockbox is a good idea
00:01:58pillof course
00:01:59pill:)
00:02:23pilli could have done it

00:02:52stripwax_evning
00:03:17pillhey stripwax
00:04:21rasherHm, looks like the >125 ones were added within the last few years
00:04:36pillas if these genres didn't exist in 2k2
00:04:44pillwell probably
00:05:12rasherSome php I wrote (don't ask why I was using php for id3 parsing) has the same list as Rockbox
00:05:17pilli agree genres like "christian gangsta" sound really 21st century, but drum & bass is old as shit
00:05:42***Saving seen data "./dancer.seen"
00:05:52stripwax_experiencing a bit of weirdness with latest daily build w.r.t Move To Next Folder (again). Seems I now get a popup saying "Codec Error" when it switches from the end of the last track in the folder to the first track in the next folder. My folders contain all oggs.
00:06:18stripwax_Not sure whether the problem is caused by the change to Move To Next Folder or by the macsr changes
00:06:55stripwax_at least Move To Next Folder now works ;-) (the Codec Error popup doesn't hamper playback, it carries on anyway)
00:08:35stripwax_I also got a weird message, "Dir List Is Full" or somesuch, earlier today before Rockbox completely hung. Can't find a way to reproduce that tho..
00:09:26pillthis is a folder limitation
00:09:29stripwax_What's the status of the code freeze?
00:09:55rasherIt'll be a while
00:09:58 Quit San (Read error: 104 (Connection reset by peer))
00:10:18stripwax_I mean, it's still frozen (right?). So cvs commits are exclusively for Archos bugfixes?
00:10:45rasherAny bugfixes
00:11:34stripwax_Oh, ok. I might take a look at getting Move To Next Folder do the right thing at the end of the last track of the last folder ...
00:11:35pillstripwax: for the dir list full: go to "General Settings" "System " Limits"
00:11:48pilland increase the limits
00:11:52stripwax_pill - I've ruled that out because I can't reproduce the problem I saw this morning..
00:12:06pillk

00:12:57stripwax_Oh, here's another one: I remember seeing a cvs log saying that Inverse Bar was now the default selector- but today I put on a new build, did a Reset Settings, and the selector is that little arrow. Did I imagine the default changing to Inverse Bar?
00:13:02pillrasher: so basically all there is to do is add the genres > 147 to the genres array?
00:13:10pill> 125
00:18:48rasherNo idea if that'll do it
00:19:01rasherTry it?
00:19:28rasherLooks like it will work
00:21:00amiconnShould be as simple as that. The function returning the genre gets the limit via sizeof(genres)/sizeof(char*)
00:21:51pillwell i never committed anything and to be honest i dont know what i need to do to do it properly
00:22:03pilli'd like to though
00:22:44rasherDo you have access?
00:22:50pillno

00:28:34rasherusually it works such that you submit a few patches, and one of them gets fed up with applying them and give you write-access
00:28:46rasherMat: Didn't get one.. Freenode is probably blocking it
00:28:56preglowstripwax_: i sincerely doubt the macsr changes enter into it
00:29:21stripwax_preglow cool. must be the Move To Next Folder logic then. which has been broken for a while now?

00:32:20stripwax_preglow - I didn't check out your changes so I don't know how much of the code was moved around. Move To Next Folder looks like the most likely candidate since it wasn't working before the change and it's not working (in a different way) after the change

00:35:18Mathieu1what is the command for freenoode registration please I forget

00:40:45rasheramiconn: Any reason why I shouldn't commit this?
00:40:54amiconnrasher: You need to reconfigure. This is caused by my change that the fat driver uses the build date as start date on non-rtc units
00:41:17amiconnNo more 2003-08-01 :)
00:41:55rasherIndeed
00:42:06rasherIt wasn't meant as a complaint

00:42:48stripwax_rasher - "hardcore" ?
00:43:04rasheras ID3v1 genre
00:43:20stripwax_heh
00:43:27amiconnrasher: I think the genre list complement is a bugfix...
00:43:57rasherI'd say that as well
00:44:04rasherThey seem widely accepted
00:44:30rasherAnd Rockbox really should have them
00:44:46pillerm
00:44:50pillof course
00:45:06pilli cant live without crossover, hardcore, drumnbass and christian rock
00:45:11rasherI'll have a look if anything's depending on the genre-list being a specific size
00:45:35rasherNot to mention BritPop!
00:46:07stripwax_man... watching The Apprentice USA is painful.
00:46:44webguest40hey ami you know the other day linus came in and we talk about the igp100? any more thoughts on that or if it is a possible target for a port of RB at a later stage?
00:46:57pillnd Negerpunk
00:46:58pillhahaha
00:47:17stripwax_ooh, iGp100?
00:47:18*stripwax_ googles
00:47:29pill1GB minidisc like drivers
00:47:31pilldrives*
00:47:33webguest40igp-100 with the dash
00:47:35rasherPretty much a repackaged ihp100 with smaller drives
00:47:37amiconnrasher: I already checked. The only reference is in id3_get_genre(), and that one gets the array size as I already mentioned
00:47:44stripwax_oh, neato.
00:47:52webguest40uses 1" drive
00:48:33stripwax_is it a 'current' model?
00:48:36pillno
00:48:40pill2YO
00:48:49rasheramiconn: For some reason I was under the illusion that id3_get_genre returned the genre number
00:48:55rasherWhich would be... silly.
00:48:58webguest40but h100 isnt exactly current either since they dont manufacture it anymore
00:49:00stripwax_pill ok thx..
00:49:08stripwax_webguest40 well, ... yes.
00:49:55amiconnrasher: No. It directly returns the genre string if there is one (id3v2), otherwise it returns a pointer into the genre list, derived from the genre number
00:50:13rasherYeah.. braindump here
00:50:13stripwax_Hrm. Googling suggests the igp100 uses 1.5GB of *flash*. But I'm sure that's crap
00:50:13amiconn...or NULL if out of bounds
00:50:27rasherStripwax: It is, I saw pictures
00:50:42webguest40just thought it might be real easy to port at a later stage when h100 rb is considered complete. nah it uses 1" hd.
00:51:09stripwax_rasher cool. yeah, seems to 'branded' a flash player even though it's got an hdd. weird.
00:51:13webguest40could be replaced with an even larger capacity 1"
00:51:17amiconnwebguest03: igp-100 should be an easy one, certainly easier than h-300
00:51:28webguest40k
00:51:44webguest40but is it worth it?
00:52:20amiconnI think so
00:52:28webguest40i mean i have never owned an archos so dont know if you took similar decisions in past with porting rb concerning archos players at that time which were 'out of date'
00:53:04rasherI actually wanted to buy a ihp-100 instead of the h120
00:53:07amiconnIt increases the user base, and hopefully the developer base, and it's a device with very similar hardware to one we already support
00:53:16rasherBut the only Danish shop claiming to have them didn't.
00:53:29amiconnThat means, it should be worth it even if the absolute number isn't that high
00:53:44stripwax_rasher - why would you want an ihp100 instead of h120?
00:53:54rasherEh, igp-100
00:53:56pillah
00:53:58pillheh
00:53:58amiconnWe ported to Ondio when it already was out of production
00:54:01webguest40so what can i do to help? i guess you would need some hardware (igp100)
00:54:02stripwax_heh..
00:54:26webguest40donation to rb fund or perhaps try to find an igp100 for sale?
00:54:59rasherI'm still curious about the economics of the rb fund
00:55:30amiconnI expext porting h-100 -> igp-100 will be easier than archos recorder -> ondio
00:55:37stripwax_do we see what the donations are being used for (like, e.g., the fund on www.nslu2-linux.org)
00:55:59rasherstripwax_: not directly

00:58:51webguest40unless i looked in wrong place or for wrong thing..
00:58:58rasherThat'd satisfy my curiousity

01:03:28thegeekthe producer was cornice
01:03:30thegeekatleast I think so

01:04:53thegeekhehe
01:04:58thegeekperhaps I will
01:05:02thegeekI'll hear with him
01:05:17thegeekit still works for radio

01:06:14thegeekin that picture
01:06:18thegeekyou see the "connector"
01:06:43thegeekI think the connector on the harddrive in the igp only has less than 10 wires
01:06:45thegeekbut damn
01:06:45rasherso tiny..
01:06:52thegeekit's so long since I looked at it
01:06:53stripwax_Yeah - from that news article I posted - I'd guess Seagate and Cornice hdds would be compatible
01:07:00thegeekmhm
01:07:18rasherHrm, it looks like the connector I saw yesterday in the FCC pdfs
01:07:25thegeekbut
01:07:27thegeekthing is
01:07:48thegeekI remeber the connector for the harddrive in the igp as slimmer than in those pictures

01:08:33thegeekthere
01:08:35thegeekthat's it
01:08:57webguest40hmm from the picture i took when i opened mine up i see a connector with 5 wires?
01:09:05thegeekyes
01:09:07webguest40yes just like the mobilemag link
01:09:08thegeekthat seems right
01:09:16thegeekI remember there beeing very few wires myself
01:09:18thegeekfor a harddrive
01:09:27rasherEh..
01:09:34*stripwax_ wonders if a rb port to igp would really be 'that easy'
01:09:40thegeekhah
01:09:42rasherThis FCC pdf looks like there are 5*4 wires
01:09:43thegeekwhy bother?
01:09:53thegeekI mean
01:09:58thegeekthere are _extremely_ few users
01:09:59thegeekAND
01:10:03thegeekthe few igp's left
01:10:08thegeekwill probably die in the near future

01:10:57thegeekit's been 9 months since I took a look at the igp;)
01:11:01rasherBut it's 20 wires, rather than 5
01:11:06thegeekoh
01:11:08thegeekyou sure?
01:11:28thegeekprobably right
01:11:55thegeekbut when I looked at the drive itself, the "wires" did _not_ look like they were seperated any more
01:11:57webguest40well my shot shows 5 bands or 4 wires each
01:12:02thegeekoh well
01:12:05thegeek;)
01:12:06thegeekhehe
01:12:07webguest405 bands of*
01:12:08thegeekI give up
01:12:32thegeekthey could be compatible then
01:12:35thegeekjust different connectors
01:12:39webguest40y
01:12:43rasherSounds likely
01:13:13thegeekI remember checking out if the player could take an sd-card instead of a harddrive
01:13:22webguest40hey thegeek whats gonna happen to your bros igp? :)
01:13:22stripwax_v unlikely
01:13:30thegeekno idea webguest40
01:13:36rasher"Please note, actual product may not be exactly as shown. Pictures are for guidance only." so they're telling me that the harddrive platter doesn't actually have a picture of a girl on it!?
01:13:37thegeekyes stripwax_
01:13:47thegeekbut it could perhaps do a cf+ card
01:14:02stripwax_hey; does my name still have a silly underscore at the end of it?
01:14:06thegeekI know there are storage cards for cf+, for pocket pc's and stuff

02:01:50rasherI'll fix them all, but first to make sure it's correctly ordered

02:10:58zeheh
02:11:04 Quit Jason ("CGI:IRC (Ping timeout)")
02:11:11rasherbecause then it wouldn't be the double of 22050!
02:11:25zeyeah but was 22050 in use then?
02:11:35rasherI'm guessing no
02:11:48rasherIt wasn't an actual argument
02:11:49zei thought 22050 stemmed from being half of 44100
02:11:53zeheh
02:12:43amiconn44100 is an ugly number. Few possibilities to reduce ratios containing it...

02:23:20rasherI'm not even going to speculate.
02:23:25pillno

02:26:17rasherNot even the winamp forums seem to know what that genre is
02:26:22pillhehe
02:26:48pillit was probably a fantasy from someone at winamp

02:28:06pillwell
02:28:33rasherMy reaction would have been the same if it had used the "other word"
02:28:41pillwinamp added weird genres, and no sue will ever lead to anything..
02:29:27rasherUh-oh.. it's mentioned in the commit-mail again.
02:29:57pillreally?
02:29:59pillwoah$
02:30:12pillcan you paste?
02:30:15rasherWell I changed the line with it
02:30:21rasherSo the diff shows it

02:30:57rasherI like how he just goes "that word" and expects that everyone knows what he's talking about

02:31:22rasherErm. I'll shut up now before I step on more toes.

07:47:22amiconn...and I still don't have a proper soltion for the accuracy problem with 44100/22050/11025 Hz

07:49:44amiconn(1) mp3headerinfo() is wrong about the frame size of version 2 / version 2.5 with layer 1 and layer 2
07:49:58LinusN(1) oops :-)
07:50:08amiconn(2) layer 1 frame size isn't accurate for _any_ frequency
07:50:29LinusN(2) Oops again
07:51:30amiconnThe thing with (1) is that the number of samples / frame is halved for version 2/2.5 with layer 3, which the code correctly accounts for.
07:51:43amiconnBut for layer 1 and 2 this half-size rule is wrong
07:52:30LinusNaha
07:52:34amiconn(2) results from the fact that the layer 1 frame size granularity is 4 byte, while for layer 2 and 3 it is 1 byte
07:52:46amiconnThis also applies to the padding
07:52:56LinusNaha
07:54:26amiconnI'm working on a replacement for this function, but I'm still undecided about the length calculation ...

22:28:42linuxstbpreglow: I'm interested in using the EMAC in my ALAC decoder - do you have any pointers to documentation (apart from your source)?
22:29:25linuxstbI'm upset that FLAC is now beating it... :)
22:33:04preglowhaha
22:33:12preglowitll be easy to beat
22:33:27preglowthe filter loop will probably be the only place where you can benefit from it
22:33:45preglowthe things you should be looking to optimise, are thing on the form a += b
22:33:52preglowa += b*c
22:34:01preglowwhere b*c might easily be a 64 bit multiplication
22:35:14preglowb*c might also easily be emac optimisable if its a 64 bit multiplication, but pure 32 bit muls without an additional add will not be faster with emac
22:35:45preglowwhat ive optimised in libflac is just a very long mul and add chain, where the muls are 32 bit
22:35:51preglowall the other codecs use 64 bit muls
22:43:10linuxstbThe calculations I'm looking at in ALAC are of the form (a1-b)*c1+(a2-b)*c2+... etc where a and b are 32-bit and c is 16-bit. The result is stored in a 32-bit variable.
22:44:15linuxstbAny idea if that would benefit very much from an ASM routine?
22:48:42preglowyes, i think it would
22:48:48preglowcould you give me a line number and a file name?
22:48:52preglowin the alac distro
22:51:33linuxstbI've already started optimising the common cases in C, but the general case of the main loop I'm looking at is line 467 of alac.c
22:51:48linuxstb(in the original distribution)
22:52:52preglowwell, yes
22:53:00preglowthis is exactly the part of flac i have optimised
22:53:07linuxstbThat's what I thought.
22:53:11 Quit edx (Read error: 110 (Connection timed out))
22:53:14preglowthe fir filter loop
22:54:25preglowso
22:54:44preglowits clear from the implementation, this is a 32 bit mul
22:54:50preglowso you can use the emac unit in integer mode
22:54:55preglowlike ive done for flac
22:55:56linuxstbThe general cases (the author of the ALAC decoder seems to think these are the only cases) are 4 and 8 order cases.
22:56:46linuxstbWhen you say "32 bit mul" do you mean that the result is 32 bits?
22:56:53preglowyes
23:00
23:02:02linuxstbI don't know if you read it in the logs, but I managed to get libfaad2 compiling (sort of) in Rockbox. It gave me lots of ICE errors with gcc which I had to hack around. But I haven't got as far as trying to implement a codec yet.
23:03:29preglowhmm
23:03:37preglowany nasty hacks?
23:03:55preglowfiled any bug reports to the gcc people?
23:05:04linuxstbNo, I don't think they are very nasty. In fact, most of the problems were caused by the source mixing signed and unsigned variables in the same calculation. Changing the variables to the same type fixed the problem.
23:05:21preglowstrange, still
23:05:36linuxstbNo, I haven't reported any bugs - any idea how actively maintained the m68k parts of gcc are?
23:07:32linuxstbOne thing I noticed is that integer-only mode doesn't support "MAIN profile AAC". But I have no idea what that means, or if it's a problem. I also haven't finished getting the SSR profile decoder working. But again, I don't know anything about AAC, so I don't know if that's an issue either.
23:08:53preglowhmm
23:08:59preglowi think most things use the light profile
23:09:05preglowdont remember what its called
23:09:16preglowi dont think theyre very actively maintained
23:09:18linuxstbCorrection: Fixed-point mode doesn't support MAIN or SSR profiles - it's not an ICE problem that SSR isn't included.
23:10:02preglowwhat is ssr?
23:10:56linuxstbNo idea - just one of the many AAC profiles: MAIN, SSR, LTP and LD
23:11:43linuxstbAnd PS.
23:14:10preglowlc is the common one, i believe
23:15:50linuxstbI need to write a simple decoder (running on my PC) using libfaad2 - so I'll be able to do some tests then. But I don't have very many AAC files.
23:16:08preglowstill, lovely work
23:16:24preglowi wanted to get libfaad2 working myself, but probably would have given up when i hit the ice problems, heh
23:16:51preglowaac files are easily produced with free encoders
23:16:52linuxstbI'm not sure how motivated I am, but it's the major missing codec from Rockbox at the moment.
23:17:11preglowwell, thats more or less why i wanted to as well
23:17:22preglowive never used aac, so thats not why
23:18:50preglowseems lc and main are the most used, yes
23:18:53preglowssr is a streaming thing
23:19:22preglowthat is, mostly used with streaming, since it allows some bitrate/samplerate adjustments to be done on the fly
23:21:28linuxstbMy only hesitation about using AAC myself is that it seems to be even worse than MP3 when it comes to gapless.
23:22:50preglowa really embarassing fact, if you ask me
23:23:08preglowmy only hesitation is that its even more heavy patented than mp3, heh
23:23:12preglowsticking to oggs
23:23:24linuxstbThat's very true.
23:24:04preglowbut yeah
23:24:08preglowlc is the most used profile
23:24:26preglowdid anything happen about the faad2 license thing?
23:24:37linuxstbI do have a slight hesitation about adding ALAC to Rockbox - but as far as I know, Apple hasn't complained to the person who reverse-engineered the decoder.
23:24:54preglowwell, do they have any reason to do so?
23:24:57linuxstbI haven't found anything more about the license, so I don't know.
23:24:58preglowthey cant possibly win a case
23:25:09preglowreverseengineering is legal
23:25:40linuxstbThe only problem could be patents - but ALAC doesn't seem to do anything new from the comments I've read about it.
23:25:46preglowoh, no
23:25:54preglowfrom what ive read, its perfectly standard
23:26:03preglowadaptive fir and rice-like coding
23:26:52preglowbut if youre worried about that, i dont see why youre adding aac
23:26:59preglowwhich is ridden with patents
23:27:19linuxstbTrue :)
23:27:58preglowi say we just ignoreit
23:28:13preglowif someone complains and have a good case, we just remove it
23:28:36linuxstbThat would be a strong argument for making codec plugins completely independent from the core.
23:28:41preglowindeed
23:29:01preglowid really love to see that happen
23:29:04preglowand i expect it will, some day
23:29:12preglowbut i need to go now
23:29:18preglowsee you later

23:55:36FebsEven so, pretending that the word doesn't exist doesn't alleviate any problem of racism. If anything, it validates the negative connotation.
23:55:48t0masindeed
23:55:51rasherFebs: true
23:55:57rasherMakes sense, googling for "negerpunk" gave a lot of Dutch results
