01:09:54preglowand i've never seen that again
01:10:04preglowoh, and another time, but that was rockboy's fault
01:10:59linuxstb've had a quick play with loading/saving config files, but couldn't make it crash. Maybe it's dependent on the codec being played.
01:14:35preglowdont deal with config files too often
01:14:43preglowmore or less only when there's been a change to the config block

08:11:16amiconnImho good news: My frame count estimation for long recordings seems to work.
08:11:42amiconnOnly problem in my current test version is that I forgot to multiply the time by 10 (mpeg thread counts in ticks but mp3data.c expects milliseconds...
08:12:08amiconn...so my estimated frame count is 1/10 of the reality...
08:12:12LinusN:-)
08:12:17amiconnWill fix and start a new test
08:12:42amiconnBut the bad thing is that the recording engine has race problems...
08:13:17LinusNoh?
08:13:23amiconnYes.
08:13:53LinusNnot that surprising, though
08:14:51amiconnIf you trigger file splits in quick succession, or stop quickly after file split, framecount, filelength (and recording time) may be incorrect...
08:15:11amiconn...in case the first save has not yet finished when the next event is received

08:15:54 Quit t0mas (Read error: 104 (Connection reset by peer))
08:16:11amiconnThe code has to store the values at the point of split/stop, then starts saving
08:16:20 Join t0mas [0] (n=Tomas@unaffiliated/t0mas)
08:16:46amiconnSaving does multiple chunks (at least 2 when wrapping, more on 8MB boxes or Ondio)
08:17:07LinusNyes
08:17:22amiconnIf another split/ stop event is received in between, it overwrites the old values before they get used.
08:17:46amiconnI don't know how much effort we should put into this right now
08:18:08amiconnSounds like a bigger rewrite is due, especially if we also want to unify playback...
08:18:11LinusNhow likely is it to happen?
08:19:24amiconnWithout timesplit it's rather unlikely I'd say. I doubt someone will deliberately split in such short intervals, or press "split-stop"
08:19:59amiconnWith timesplit it might happen that the user triggers a split or stop just when the time split triggers automatically...
08:20:10LinusNah yes

08:21:34amiconnNothing really bad will happen, only the xing header will be totally off...
08:22:03LinusNok
08:22:22 Part hubbel
08:22:37amiconnThe thing is that we can't simply lock split/stop events while another split is going on. I'd like to be able to interrupt a split with stop.
08:22:48amiconnI think I have an idea how to work around it...
08:33:54amiconnLinusN: What do you think about my playtime calculation stuff, btw?
08:34:25LinusNi think it's great
08:34:43amiconnI noticed that the archos playback engine also mixes up file and playback offsets, leading to the time display being several seconds off when resuming a vbr track
08:35:29LinusNyes, it only keeps track of the file offset
08:35:38amiconnI observed up to 9 seconds with a 10-minute track (with toc). This isn't introduced by my new code, it also happens with the old
08:35:38LinusNafaicr
08:36:07LinusNafaik, the resume info only saves the file offset
08:36:16amiconnThe problem is that the code mixes up the real file offset (from the start of the file) with playback offset (from the start of the first frame)
08:37:32amiconnBecause of this the toc search can be off by a full percent...
08:37:42LinusNif the tag is big
08:38:29amiconnDoesn't need to be big, just the chance of being off gets bigger
08:38:51LinusNthe larger the file is, the more inaccurate is the toc
08:38:58amiconnE.g. if the tag is half the size of one percent of the file bytes, the chance of being off is 50%

08:39:57LinusNamiconn: isn't this more about toc accuracy than tag size?
08:40:29amiconnNo
08:40:39LinusNi agree that it should take the tag size into account, but isn't the time calculation problem more related with the toc inaccuracy?
08:41:18amiconnI'd expect way higher accuracy when a toc is present, at least with "ordinary" music
08:41:30LinusNas long as the file is small
08:41:40amiconn9 seconds of 600 is more than one percent
08:42:02amiconn...and the toc should allow for at least one percent precision
08:43:12LinusNtrue
08:43:49LinusNbut how is the time calculation done?
08:44:43LinusNok i see
08:45:10LinusNset_elapsed()
08:46:31LinusNok, so we should subtract id3->first_frame_offset
08:49:37amiconnI don't think so
08:50:03amiconnDuring ordinary playback, id3->offset tracks the playback offset
08:50:18amiconnImho we should restore this properly when resuming
08:51:34 Join Zagor [0] (i=foobar@h63n1fls31o265.telia.com)

09:05:19linuxstbMorning all. Does enabling FM presets for the iriver constitute a feature or a bug-fix?
09:19:49B4gderI vote for a release asap anyway
09:19:57B4gderlike within days
09:22:01linuxstbAre there any bugs on the ReleaseTodo page that are considered show-stoppers?
09:23:13B4gdernot according to me
09:23:51linuxstbSo if everyone agrees with that, then we just need to finish the documentation?
09:24:25B4gderwell, I think we should release it anyway with everything as it is right now
09:24:51B4gderthe docs could be better
09:25:01B4gderbut I don't think they should delay the release
09:26:14B4gderwhat's your position on this, LinusN and amiconn?
09:29:20LinusNi don't think the remaining issues are that critical
09:29:48LinusNbut i would like to let amiconn finish his mpeg fixes before release
09:47:02*B4gder fights general cluelessness from taking over the world
09:47:20B4gderor something like that
09:47:24ZagorB4gder: a brave fight
09:47:40B4gderme vs debian-devel
09:48:10Zagorheh, what's it about?
09:48:42B4gdershortly put, they want to throw out libcurl built with openssl support and only provide libcurl built with gnutls support
09:48:48*Zagor opens his 37MB unread debian-devel mail file...
09:49:55B4gderhehe
09:50:13B4gderwell, I moved my fight to specific bug report entries instead
09:50:31B4gdersince the debian-devel is just too much for my taste

10:11:07amiconnB4gder: I'd like to see some of the critical things on the todo list fixed before a release
10:11:19amiconnImho some of the are critical
10:14:06B4gderI really don't think we should keep a feature freeze much longer
10:14:24B4gderso if these last issues are gonna take multiple days I vote for branching
10:14:32 Quit linuxstb (Read error: 110 (Connection timed out))
10:15:58amiconnI think at least the software poweroff issue and the ahrddrive power in panic() needs to be fixed, in addition to the recording issues
10:16:08amiconnThe fix for splitedit should also be applied imho
10:16:54 Join Lynx_ [0] (n=lynx@tina-10-4.genetik.uni-koeln.de)
10:21:15LinusNamiconn: the soft poweroff issues are not as critical on the archos as on the iriver
10:21:50amiconnB4gder: I don't think a branch would be a good idea. I detracts developers from bugfixing
10:22:06LinusNi think the splitedit fix might make things worse
10:22:21amiconnWhy?
10:22:25LinusNsince it might refuse to save even if there is room on the drive
10:22:39B4gderthe bugfixing developers are amiconn and LinusN
10:22:44LinusNjust because the fsinfo lies about the true remaining space
10:22:47B4gdera branch doesn't detract you
10:23:18amiconnLinusN: It uses fsinfo?? That's... strange...
10:23:30LinusNamiconn: you didn't look at the bugfix?
10:23:31amiconnB4gder: It does detract all devs more or less
10:24:04B4gderand the freeze detract them from developing
10:24:20amiconnI'm really disappointed that so few devs are actually bugfixing
10:24:36LinusNamiconn: that's life, unfortunately
10:25:10LinusNi'm disappointed too...
10:25:36amiconnImho new features aren't worth much if the existing code has problems
10:25:58amiconnThe freeze was a really good chance to fix bugs for iriver as well...
10:26:15LinusNabsolutely
10:26:29LinusNand the iriver code is quite bug-ridden
10:26:34B4gderI would say that the explanation is that very few devs consider themselves "core" enough
10:26:49LinusNwhy should only core developers fix bugs?
10:26:50B4gdermost just do "border"-developing
10:27:24B4gderthis is just my theory
10:29:43B4gderso, during this feature freeze I think most people have just backed off and waited
10:29:55LinusNreally bad
10:32:46zhilikHi 2 All! What do I need to do to start developing Rockbox for the HD200? I did the scans, found most of the documentation for the ICs. Now I have to find out what gets connected where, but to do that it seems i'll have kill my player - and I don't want to do that.
10:33:09zhilikMayde there's some place where I can buy a dead one cheap?
10:33:16LinusNebay?
10:33:40zhilikI guess the shipping would cost more that the player - I'm in Moscow...
10:34:00B4gderor try find an online forum for your player and post a question/call for dead units and volounteer rockbox hackers
10:34:12Zagorzhilik: are you talking about the mpio hd200?
10:35:47zhilikYes.

10:39:32LinusNwhat kind of hard disk is in there?
10:39:32Zagorwell since it has a BGA cpu it will definitely be difficult to trace the board without removing it.
10:39:39LinusNzhilik: no
10:39:51zhilikStrange...
10:39:54ZagorLinusN: looks like the hitachi square type
10:40:00LinusNzhilik: probably because of the new freenode policy
10:40:02B4gderfreenode blocks private messages
10:40:10B4gderunless you've "identified"
10:40:28zhilikAnd how do I get "identified"?

10:43:24Zagorzhilik: can you navigate the player at all without the remote?
10:44:00B4gderthere are buttons on the side
10:44:07zhilikI don't use the remote at all - it's rather primitive and has a bad connector.
10:44:39Zagorahh, the side "volume control" is for navigation
10:45:54zhilikYes. One of the reasons why I want to play around with RockBos is that I want to connect the iRiver remote to it.
10:46:05zhilikTo the HD200 that is.
10:46:06*Zagor spots "Tomato" written on the HD200 LCD :-)
10:46:20zhilikYeah. I even found the documentation for it.

10:47:48B4gderzhilik: how do you update the firmware on it?
10:48:01B4gderflash-update procedure similar to iriver?
10:48:04zhilikhttp://www.wolfsonmicro.com/uploads/documents/WM8750.pdf
10:48:27zhilikNo, I copy the new firmware to the SYSTEM directory
10:48:45B4gderit loads it from disk and uses it?
10:49:00zhilikIt updates itself and deletes the files leavin only unicode.sys of the three.

10:59:35LinusNit will be hard to figure out without removing the cpu
11:00
11:00:26LinusNi found no hd200's on ebay :-(
11:00:38zhilikWell if we COULD find a dead player, we might also be able toread the program from the flash and dissassemble it - that may help.
11:00:43zhilikNeither did I.
11:04:50amiconnThere's one from Taiwan: http://cgi.ebay.de/MPIO-HD200-Hello-Mr-Big-5G_W0QQitemZ5241972685QQcategoryZ98342QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem
11:05:02zhilikI've included the links to the docs
11:05:29amiconnI wonder whether the HD300 is similar. I found a number of HD300 offers
11:05:31LinusNwow, the hd200 firmware doesn't seem to be encrypted
11:05:40B4gdergosh
11:05:47B4gderthat'd be a first
11:06:15LinusNonly a tiny header
11:06:44LinusNwow, not even a header
11:06:52B4gderno checksum?
11:07:04LinusNmust be a checksum somewhere, perhaps in the end of the file
11:08:30amiconnHmm, HD300 seems to be different from HD200...
11:08:37zhilikSome more links (to documentation)
11:08:50zhilikhttp://www.rockbox.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/InsideMPIOHD200
11:09:15zhilikWell, if the firmware is unencrypter, maybe it can be dissambled?
11:09:24B4gderyeps
11:10:03LinusNi'm disassembling it as we speak
11:11:24Rickworking on a new device?
11:11:56zhilikD200_UPG.SYS
11:12:06zhilikis probably for the flash
11:12:11LinusNyes it is
11:12:15B4gderRick: zhilik's mpio hd200
11:12:29zhilikICON.. is probably the icon's :-)
11:12:50zhilikAnd unicode.sys - the main program, loaded from the hard disk.
11:13:24Rickis the player any good?
11:13:29Ricki've never heard of it
11:13:41B4gderRick: coldfire 5249 based one with a 5GB disk
11:13:58Rickah
11:14:04zhilikRick: it's OK
11:14:06B4gderseems similar to h1x0 spec wise
11:14:07LinusNi can imagine that unicode.sys isn't code at all, but fonts and string data
11:14:21zhilikThe sound's goos, loud
11:14:34zhilikBut the firmware stinks...
11:14:50zhilikI meant good ofcourse
11:16:14zhilikIf you have a close look, you'll see that one of the capacitor's broken - the one next to the CF connector and crystal resonator C616
11:16:16LinusNwow, hd200_upg.sys seems to be a pure image of the flash
11:16:27Zagorrefreshing
11:16:28B4gderwhoa
11:16:44zhilikNow taht's GOOD news.
11:21:45LinusNwe can find out most things by disassembling
11:21:53LinusNbut it's tedious
11:22:04zhilikI mailed MPIO with a request for the curcuit (it'd be cool if they gave it, but I guess that's highly improbable) - they didn't even answer.
11:22:20Zagorzhilik: are you a programmer?
11:22:23LinusNhardly surprising

13:27:50B4gderI fiddled with the credits list
13:27:56B4gderto make it scroll in a sinus
13:28:02B4gderso that it stops occationally
13:28:12B4gdersince the current version is completely unreadable on iriver
13:28:29LinusNwhat a good bugfix! :-)
13:28:30B4gderturned out pretty good
13:29:11B4gderwell, showing a list of names is rather useless when you can't read the names ;-O
13:29:23amiconnB4gder: I thought about scrolling in from left & right alternating per line, delaying the lower lines a bit
13:29:27amiconnThe whole thing paged
13:29:47LinusNor maybe having them fly in from the horizon :-)
13:30:12amiconnWould look a bit like a zipper
13:30:16LinusNor write them on each side of the cube
13:30:33amiconnLinusN: Are *you* going to implement texture mapping? ;)
13:30:39LinusN:-P
13:30:57B4gderthat'll be in his h300 bootloader for sure!
13:31:03LinusNin any case, being abla to pause the scroll would be good
13:31:16B4gderyes, pausing makes sense
13:31:22amiconnablakadabla?
13:31:38LinusN:-) chinese magic
13:33:07hshahthis whole rockbox thing is getting better and better every day :)
13:33:10amiconnIt seems the lcds are differing in response time a bit per unit
13:33:24amiconnI *can* read the credits list on iriver (but hardly)
13:33:47hshahi can JUST about read them on mine
13:34:02hshahthats if i strain my eyes though...
13:34:34amiconnLCD response times are also temperature dependent, meaning there's a higher chance for the credits to be readable in summer...
13:35:12B4gderhehe
13:35:26LinusNif we only had an RTC... :-)
13:35:29preglowit's really hard to read here
13:35:40hshahjust curious - is there an optimum operating temp for the iriver, so for example u get more out if it in terms of battery in different temps?

13:56:19B4gderjust do it again, to get an updated makefile

14:00:00preglowright
14:00:18webguest22but this case, im getting errors even without the patches applied
14:00:49B4gderI'd guess that there's a file or two missing in the tarball

14:09:02preglownot much you can do apart from waiting for a tarball that contains what you need
14:09:19preglowthat, or using cvs, which you shouldn't be unless you're capable of helping yourself
14:10:25webguest22hmm do you think it could be the problem, or incapability of the dev tool?
14:10:50B4gderyou mean dev kit?
14:10:53preglowno, not your fault, it seems
14:11:14webguest22yeah dev kit
14:11:35webguest22for example, i patch the source with this korean patch some guy made
14:11:40webguest22and it patches convbdf.c
14:11:49amiconnUsing cvs is the better way anyway. The tarballs sometimes cause problems which wouldn't happen with cvs
14:11:51preglowlibmad is quite obviously not included in the tarball
14:11:56webguest22it compiles fine on cygwin, but refuses to compile on devkit
14:12:04amiconn(like the leftover file problem Joerch got last week)
14:12:06preglowehh
14:12:14preglowisn't bc's devkit really cygwin in disguise?
14:12:19webguest22oh i guess on this one, the missing file is the only problem
14:12:23webguest22yeah thats what i thought
14:12:37webguest22but i keep on getting the message that im missing "ctype.h" file
14:12:43webguest22which doesnt make sense
14:12:44amiconnpreglow: Yes, it's a cut-down (and outdated) cygwin
14:13:27webguest22i tried to replace ctype.h file from the latest cygwin to devkit but that didnt do any good
14:13:55webguest22so i jus replace again the convbdf to original before make on tools dir
14:14:12webguest22anyways, i guess ill just use cvs

14:22:30preglowonly difference is a gain change, which i dont know if iriver does implicitely or not
14:22:37webguest43so its actually a line/mic/spdif plug ?
14:22:40webguest22B4gder: so can i dl it right now then?
14:22:52B4gderyes

14:23:40webguest43is the pcm recording stable enough to record 2 hrs straight ?
14:24:43preglowwebguest43: might be, you'll have to find out yourself
14:25:01preglowas you've probably seen, recording is in the debug menu, and such it is for a reason
14:26:01webguest43bugger, i am new to recording, and want to record our choir/orchestra performance in two weeks
14:26:18webguest43cant decide if I record with orig. firmware or rockbox
14:26:23preglowwell
14:26:30preglowif you're worried it wont cope, use the original
14:26:48webguest43its got a time limit though hasnt it ?
14:27:09webguest43i cant really monitor it during record as I have to sing !
14:27:19preglowhmm, it might
14:27:23preglowbut why don't you just do a test?

14:28:59preglowbtw, i _think_ iriver fw got some enhanced recording features in 1.65
14:29:04preglowmight wanna check that out
14:29:22preglowi hear some people say rockbox recording works ok, but still, no promises, it might crash horribly
14:29:51webguest43the recording glitch on the iriver firmware is another problem
14:30:14preglowyeah, but it's easily fixable with an audio editor

15:51:31preglowooh, niceness
15:51:45preglowouch
15:51:57*preglow spots a libmad spot needing asm
15:52:51coobpolyphase? or is that already done?
15:53:15coobalso do you guys only use libmad at 16 bits?
15:53:20preglowfirst thing i did
15:53:27preglow16 bits? you mean the output?
15:53:37coobyeah
15:53:46coobi though libmad rendered at 24
15:53:49preglowit does
15:53:56preglowwe dither it down to 16
15:54:08preglowdac doesn't support dma for bps over 16
15:54:23preglowthat is, we used to dither it down, i disabled it 'cause of being too slow
15:54:24coobdoesn't that seem a little wasteful?
15:54:30preglowwhy wasteful?
15:54:36preglow16 bits are enough for me, certainly
15:54:45coobto render at 24 when the output only supports 16
15:54:57preglowahh, no
15:55:10preglowthe result wont be the same if you only use 16 bits throughout, believe me
15:55:34preglowwe had a limited precision polyphase stage some months backj
15:55:42preglowthe quality really went up when i fixed it to use full precision
15:55:53coobah ok
15:56:01preglowbesides, you'd have to hack libmad quite a bit to make it use another precision internally
15:56:16preglowand you wouldn't save much on most platforms unless you went really low
15:56:36preglowthat is, on arm i believe you save something for every bit you make zero in the muls
15:58:26coobi'm no optimisation freak heh
15:58:33coobi'm lucky if i can get something to work :)
15:58:49coobthere's so much we could do but donn't out of a lack of dedication/time
15:59:03B4gderisn't that always the case? ;-)
15:59:24preglowbut i always use the best precision i can in the lossy codecs

16:20:48amiconnIf we could use some of the optimisation ideas... I think we have a higher chance to get layer 2 encoding realtime than layer 3
16:21:03preglowoh, yes
16:21:04preglowby far
16:21:29amiconnJust for comparison: lame runs at 3..10% realtime on 68060/50...
16:21:40preglowlame would also be a bad encoder to choose

16:23:31amiconnLayer 2 isn't all that bad at adequate bitrates
16:23:32preglowwe'll see
16:23:38preglowi think layer2 is quite good
16:23:56preglowi've got some 192kbps layer2 files that are excellent quality
16:24:02amiconnDAB uses layer2 at 192 kbps
16:24:11preglowyup
16:24:20coob128 also
16:24:20amiconn(and sometimes 128 kbps)
16:24:29coobnearly all dab stations in the uk are 128
16:24:37coobbecause the multiplexes are jammed
16:24:43coobi think there's like 2 192 stations
16:24:56preglowi also think i prefer the layer 2 artifacts to the layer 3 ones
16:24:59preglowno glitching imdct
16:25:44amiconncoob: Here in germany practically all stations use 192 kbps
16:26:06B4gderpeople there actually use dab?
16:26:18amiconnpreglow: The pegase encoder is quite good, imho it's even better than toolame
16:26:36amiconnB4gder: I have a DAB car stereo...
16:26:48*preglow never tried dab

16:44:40Zagorpreglow: yes, codecs are a special case since it's not our own code
16:44:46amiconnI throw them out whenever I encounter them...
16:45:14Zagoramiconn: I know, it's not so strange. I'm just pointing out that we already know how we want it, so nobody has to wonder.
16:45:38preglowi don't mind tabs, i do mind using both tabs and spaces
16:45:41preglowthat's just nasty
16:46:06Zagortabs are nasty as soon as you reindent, print or pretty much do anything other than look at the code
16:47:05preglowi even like tabs for being able to change the indent size people use
16:47:24preglowZagor: why nasty when reindenting?
16:47:41coobthey're actually easier to use :/
16:47:48Zagorbecause when you add four spaces in front of a tab, it doesn't do what you want it to
16:48:02coobso don't mix tabs and spaces
16:48:07coobyou're not supposed to.
16:48:10Zagorno. don't use tabs.
16:48:20Zagorredefining the size of tabs breaks EVERYTHING
16:48:22preglowyeah, but then you're suddenly mixing the two
16:48:33preglowas long as you just use either, i don't see much of a difference
16:48:35coobno it doesn't
16:48:36preglowZagor: no?
16:48:43preglowZagor: not if you just use tabs
16:48:44coobi suggest you learn what a tab actually is.
16:48:58preglowbut anywho, gotta get food
16:49:31coobusing tabs is like using <div>'s to markup a page, where as using spaces is like using <img src="spacer.gif">
16:49:37Zagorcoob: fine, grab some code with tab=3 and put it on the web. or print it. or prettyfy it. have fun.

16:50:22Slasheripreglow: hi
16:50:38coobi suggest you calm the fuck down, this is tabs and spaces we're talking about, i wasn't suggesting anything change
16:50:51coobif you're mixing tabs and spaces, then you don't know what a tab is.
16:51:14Zagori'm not mixing. i'm saying "use only spaces in rockbox"

17:05:52webguest44Slasheri, yes, true, but in my humble, honest unassuming opinion, it would be a great feature
17:05:57Slasheribtw, does anybody know how i could set replaygain _tags_ for oggs/mp3s under linux?
17:06:15crwlSlasheri, for oggs with vorbisgain
17:06:23crwlif there's similar tool for mp3 files, let me know too :P

17:07:47B4gderso I would say the world needs a tool that works
17:07:57webguest44doesnt vorbis gain write the info to the header, and foobar to the tag ?, not sure
17:08:11B4gdernot that _I_ use it ;-)
17:08:48crwlwebguest44, no, vorbisgain uses them REPLAYGAIN_blahblah tags
17:08:57crwland iirc it's the original tool to do the job
17:09:21webguest44does it store the info in ape tag or V2 tag ?
17:09:28crwlof course not
17:09:35crwlit naturally uses vorbis comments
17:09:56webguest44silly me
17:10:06linuxstbI know no-one's asked, but it's worth saying that metaflac can calculate replaygain for FLAC files - also using vorbis comments (I assume).

17:28:35crwlsomebody should hack the commandline mp3gain to write id3v2 replaygain tags...
17:30:40amiconnI think mp3gain is the better solution. It doesn't require any tags or special support in the player
17:30:59amiconn(Not that I would care. I never used mp3gain or replaygain, whatever)
17:31:18preglowSlasheri: oh, hi, you didn't actually start on a wavwriter, did you?
17:31:30crwlamiconn, but it has that annoying problem with non-replaygain-aware players that mp3 files will then sound much more silent than oggs/flacs/whatever else you have
17:31:50crwland it's also less accurate and doesn't support track and album gain at the same time
17:32:23preglowindeed not

17:39:01preglowwell, isn't it there for a reason? are there any main unit buttons left?
17:42:03webguest43well, I am not very sure what the "play-pause" button does in record mode
17:42:21webguest43and pressing the stick-thing does not do anything
17:43:23preglowbut doesn't the monitor function actually use the remote for drawing?
17:43:43webguest43no, it toggles the audio on/off on the headphones
17:44:22webguest43i guess you use headphones for adjusting gain, and then switch it off to preserver power
17:45:18webguest43you mean the wave thing, which is.. well,... nice :)
17:46:12webguest43does not help a lot for setting gain, as you can hardly see it
17:47:09webguest43but if you look into that, could you please make it check if a file already exists ? it overwrites files when you exit recording, and come back to do another recording
17:47:33webguest43i know its debug, but it seems to work fine, just some rough edges :)
17:48:01preglowriight
17:48:18preglowcan't look into now, making dinner
17:48:48webguest43would be really nice if you could do that !
17:49:45preglownot promising anything
17:50:04webguest43just a wishlist: 1) check if file exists, if yes increment filename-number 2) move monitor switch to main unit 3) display peak meter on main unit
17:51:29webguest43thats allright, i will do some testing for stability
17:51:49webguest43but i think the main thing is to stop it overwriting files

19:42:41preglowoooh, new boards of canada album
19:44:43amiconnThe recording time based frame count estimation is working really good. Precision is better than 10^-4
19:45:39preglowwhat happens if the estimation is off?
19:46:41amiconnHmm?
19:47:28amiconnThe MAS does VBR recording only, so we always write a xing header
19:48:04amiconnFor a proper xing header we need at least the number of bytes (easy) and the number of frames
19:48:22preglowand you can't count frames properly?
19:48:32amiconnThe latter is a bit problematic. The MAS does have a frame counter, but it saturates at 0x7FFFF
19:48:41preglow_saturates_ ?
19:48:46amiconnYes
19:48:50preglowwhy didn't they make it overflow?
19:48:53preglowwould have been lots better
19:48:57amiconnAsk Micronas...
19:49:50amiconnIt means we can't get the frame count from the MAS for long recordings, or when the MAS was in recording mode for a long time (e.g. when doing prerecording)
19:49:56preglowthe day i send letters to all the annoying people in the world, they'll get their letter too
19:50:12preglowbut yeah, how do players usually react to having a wrong frame count in the header?
19:50:36amiconnWe didn't write a wrong count, we didn't populate the field at all
19:50:42preglowahh, yes, but now
19:50:48amiconn(there's a bit telling whether the frame count is valid)
19:50:52preglownow you write the estimate, yes?
19:51:22amiconnMost players didn't care (they couldn't display the average bitrate though), but some don't like that
19:51:56amiconnNow that I improved the framecount<->playtime conversion precision, it is possible to estimate the frame count from the recording time
19:53:18amiconnBtw, 0x7FFFF equals ~ 03:48
19:53:23preglowhahahaha
19:53:27amiconn(hh:mm)
19:53:36preglowoh
19:53:39preglownot too shabby, then
19:53:57amiconnRockbox is stable enough to record for days on archos...
19:54:01preglowhaha
19:54:11preglowmy brain must be asleep not to automatically assume that
19:54:45amiconnThe 03:48 is at 44.1kHz of course
19:55:06webguest43hmm, sorry as i am just testing long recording, you are not talking about PCM recording are you ?
19:55:22amiconnwebguest43: No, I'm talking about recording on archos
19:55:25amiconn(mp3)
19:55:36webguest43ah, fine then

19:56:57Slasheri~6h
19:57:07flurbledoesn't it depend on the sample rate?
19:57:13amiconnDepends on the sample precision, # of channels and sample frequency
19:57:40webguest43in pcm recording on iriver
19:57:41Slasheriyou can calculate it: 4*10^9 / (44100 * 4)
19:57:59webguest43hanks
19:58:04amiconnFor 44.1 kHz 16 bit stereo it's ~06:45

19:58:54preglow:-)
19:59:09webguest43ah, maybe wont wait that long then.
19:59:18webguest43pcm recording for 2 hours now, no probs at all
19:59:35amiconnSlasheri: In conjunction with bytes, G is always interpreted binary, except by harddisk manufacturers
19:59:39preglowi'd love to see the XiB measurements vanish
19:59:59Slasheriamiconn: and except by _all_ telecommunication devices and data transferring
20:00
20:00:07amiconn?
20:00:31Slasheriall network bitrates are in true SI-prefixes
20:01:15amiconnTell that to the DSL providers. They could save some bandwidth at no cost...
20:01:35amiconnThe 10/100/100 MBit/s are, indeed
20:02:12SlasheriHmm, do you say ISPs are providing for example 512 Kibit/s DSL instead of 512 kbit/s? I haven't seen that to happen
20:02:21amiconnThat's about the only ones I know. And ISDN is 64kbit/s, clearly different from Kbit/s
20:03:52Slasherii think data storage is almost the only place where binary prefixes are explicitly being used
20:05:05zeyeah the *iB stuff doesn't make sense to me
20:05:15ze1024 = 2^10, etc
20:05:37preglowi just think it's annoying and unnecessary
20:05:45webguest43well, having said "no problems"....
20:05:53webguest43i cant stop the recording...
20:06:16preglowhooray! :-)
20:06:17Slasheripreglow: yes, until more people start using that.. fortunaly many programs display the units correctly today
20:06:29amiconnSlasheri: For DSL, I'm convinced they do binary calculation. Otherwise it won't be logical to provide 1MBit/s as the next step above 512KBit/s
20:06:33Slasherize: please check this: http://physics.nist.gov/cuu/Units/binary.html
20:06:49webguest43ah, me being idiot, ... hold button ...
20:06:54amiconnWith decimal bitrates, 500kBit/s would be logical...
20:07:16Slasheriamiconn: Hmm, maybe some do.. but i really think not all
20:08:02zebut 1000 = 2^9.96578428466209
20:08:11Slasheriand for example wi-fi and bluetooth maximum theoretical bitrates are in SI

20:10:08zebefore all this, harddrive manufacturers (and more recently dvd media manufacturers) were the ONLY ones i've ever seen mean units of 1000
20:10:39zeand honestly, keebee, mehbee? you'd sound like a retard saying that stuff :p
20:10:51webguest43ok, so i repeat 2 hrs recording on h140 worked fine and used 19% of battery
20:12:51preglowi sound like a retard whatever i say, so try to keep it simple
20:13:02preglowwebguest43: so, what was the problem with the stopping?
20:13:18webguest43me retard.... hold button ....
20:13:32preglowhahaha
20:13:33webguest43all worked fine, recording looks ok
20:13:41preglowgood to hear
20:13:48preglowi hope hubbel will come back and finish what he started soon ;)
20:14:09Slasherize: that's because most of the units are not visible to user. Mainly the storage thing is the only one user really sees and care about. And it's naturally that file system size is expressed in GiB. How ever there is no logical reason at all to use that binary prefix anywhere else (especially in telecomm.)
20:14:13webguest43if someone could fine-tune the recording GUI that would really be nice
20:14:42Slasheriuh, typos++
20:14:43Slasheri:D
20:15:04preglowwebguest43: well, it doesn't really look like it should at all
20:15:19preglowwebguest43: it's going to be integrated with the ordinary recording screen, i'd imagine
20:15:33webguest43"ordinary recording screen " ? ?
20:15:34preglowamiconn: or what do you say? is the recording code very lowlevel?
20:15:49preglowwebguest43: well, yes, some of the archoses have been able to record for a long time
20:15:56amiconnI don't know the iriver recording code
20:15:57preglowso rockbox has a recording screen
20:16:21preglowamiconn: i'm wondering more if the iriver recording will be easy to integrate in the existing recording facilities
20:16:24amiconnThe archos recording code itself is part of the mpeg thread, as is the playback
20:16:32preglowor if lowlevel and gui code is very intertwined, etc
20:16:34preglowahhh
20:16:54amiconnThe recording screen is pretty highlevel, it mainly sends messages to the mpeg thread (via functions)
20:17:18amiconnThen there's the peakmeter, which needs to be adapted for recording
20:18:16amiconnTriggered recording integration might need some more thinking
20:18:37preglowhmm
20:18:38amiconn...as it monitors the peak values and acts accordingly.
20:18:47preglowi would think the existing peak meter should be easily adaptable
20:18:48amiconnIt's also app code
20:19:26webguest43well, in my humble opinion, make a simple peakmeter so one can easily adjust gain, some code so it does not overwrite its own files and a few better buttons and all is well
20:19:30amiconnThe messages are something like "start recording", "split and start a new file", "stop"
20:19:47preglowwebguest43: i'd also like to see some kind of volume limiter for those unexpected peaks
20:20:11amiconnTime split and recording size monitoring (for splitting when the file becomes too large) is done at app level, buffer flushing is low level
20:20:24webguest43nice, but once it stops overwriting its last files its fully useable
20:20:50amiconnwebguest43: There is a reason why recording is in the debug menu.
20:21:02amiconnYou can be sure that this is not the final thing...
20:21:06webguest43sure, but not much is missing to make it a useable feature
20:21:35webguest43just preventing it to overwrite files and moving the monitor button on the main unit
20:22:00webguest43all the rest is bells and whistles, (well peakmeter would be nice too)
20:26:44preglowoh, yes

23:51:54MoosHello
23:52:18Mojitolast thursday i ordered a iriver h340 :)
23:52:28Mojitonow i've found the rockbox project
23:52:35Mojitoand i think its very great! :D
23:52:46Moosthe best ;)
23:53:00XavierGrmuesli: Currently I gave up my remote build, too many changes to cope with.
23:53:14Mojitonow i download cygwin ;)
23:53:17muesli-buhuuuu *cry*
23:53:25XavierGrIf I find some time later in this week I will start making the remote build again from scratch
23:53:48muesli-kewl!
23:54:01XavierGrThough I doubt to succeed making it correct, maybe I will stick with the quick hack again, time will tell.
23:54:23Moosmaybe one core devloper will can help you :)
23:54:34Mojitoif i want code for the h340, can i write only in assambler?
23:55:20muesli-XavierGr doenst matter how buggy it is..the main thing is that theres support anyway..no matter how it works
23:56:56muesli-does rbx using a specific language anyway?
