00:01:26ioboundbadger/amiconn, thanks for help, i got it working by rewriting the assignment to an explicit call to a memcpy-ish method i wrote in my plugin
00:01:39Bagdergoodie
00:01:52amiconnBagder: Hmm, I don't seem to get it right :(
00:02:07andy_anyone get this when compiling from cvs?

00:02:44andy_gcc 3.4.3, binutils 2.16
00:03:14andy_only happens in dev build, normal builds fine
00:03:39preglowyes, dev build doesn't use -fomit-frame-pointer
00:03:42preglowand that routine needs it
00:03:55preglowdoes rockbox have a debug define?

00:05:54andy_:)
00:07:09preglowthere's no reason to not -fomit-frame-pointer anyway
00:07:14preglowwe have no target debugger
00:07:17preglowexcept for the bdm :>
00:07:45andy_true
00:08:21andy_and rockbox crashdumps doesnt include stacktrace either :)
00:08:56preglownow there's an idea...
00:08:58andy_wee.. peakmeter for iriver recording
00:09:10BBubreally?
00:09:10preglow:-)
00:10:05andy_BBub: sure.. but i want to fix the bug with stop before i commit
00:10:44BBubyou havent looked into the file-splitting, also? :)
00:10:49preglownow, time for implemeting tick counter on nano
00:10:52Cassandraamicon, when you're doing fonts, do you usually include a column of white space pixels at the end, or does the renderer put whitespace in automatically?
00:11:10preglowno, now time for fixing the broken resampler...
00:11:19andy_BBub: I've read about that problem and I think I know how to fix it
00:11:31BBubah, that sounds good
00:11:31CassandraCommiting code with known bugs is a bad idea in general.
00:12:35amiconnBBub: What file-split problem?
00:12:45*amiconn curses Makefiles
00:13:54CassandraOh, never mind. I just looked at some bdf files, and it appears the whitespace is usually included.
00:14:08BBubamiconn: for me the recording stopped at 2 gb with the 2nd part only being 0 byte in size. the player told then told me the hdd was full when there were still 3gb left

00:14:50amiconnHmm, that's indeed strange
00:15:02*amiconn didn't try recording on iriver yet
00:15:22BBubyes, and any recording after that point only caused new 0byte files until i restarted the player

00:16:55 Quit Membrillo (Client Quit)
00:16:58andy_BBub: i think the problem is that the file split limit is 2 GB - 1 MB, but on irivier writes 32 MB at the time so before "recording.c" detects that it's time to split we are alread over the limit
00:17:11BBubah, i c
00:17:16amiconnThat sounds plausible...
00:17:21markunpreglow: yes, some of the update files are not encrypted
00:17:25BBubeven though i tested it on the h110 which has only 16 mb

00:18:06markunBut the fwimg*.dat (they are in the romfs image and on the gigabeat's HD) are
00:19:23preglowmarkun: and there's no code you can see that decrypts it?
00:19:30preglowmarkun: if not so: good luck
00:19:31andy_amiconn: would it be ok to change MAX_FILE_SIZE (in recording.c) to 2 GB - 64 MB just to be safe?
00:20:01markunI don't know. I sent an email to dave hooper, maybe he wants to help out a bit
00:20:06preglowamiconn: so, you getting another player?
00:20:15preglowamiconn: and how come you don't like the clickwheel?
00:20:40amiconnThe wheel is just plain ugly. It's unusable without looking at the screen
00:20:40 Quit webguest07 ("CGI:IRC (EOF)")
00:20:51preglowamiconn: not with audible feedback
00:21:08amiconnI want plain buttons, and not on the sides please
00:21:15preglowamiconn: but no, anyway, i always look at the screen when using controls, so i haven't noticed that
00:21:39preglowand for controlling when you look at the screen, it's plain unbeatable
00:21:47preglowscrolling lists becomes a breeze
00:21:50amiconnWell, not really
00:21:57amiconn...for me
00:22:15preglowi get tired really quickly of just holding a button down and waiting for scrolling to finish
00:22:20preglowwith the clickwheel i have an active part in it
00:22:23amiconnYou can scroll relatively fast, but precise navigation is tricky
00:22:35preglowyeah, but so it is with a button and acceleration
00:22:52preglowanywho, it's a matter of preference, of course
00:22:56amiconnBut that's _only_ when scrolling fast
00:23:04preglowyup
00:23:12amiconnWith a button you can scroll element by element

00:23:55amiconnAnother drawback of the wheel is that the wheel doubles as 4 buttons
00:24:07preglowdepends how you look on it
00:24:15preglowit's nice to not have to move the fingers too much
00:24:16amiconnAlmost impossible to press the buttons without accidentally triggering wheel events
00:24:19preglowespecially not to a side panel...

00:26:37amiconnTook me quite a while to find out how to back out the sub menus
00:26:56preglowlucky me that i have no intention at all of using the apple firmware
00:27:30amiconnYeah, anyway, the only positive thing for me about the nano is that it is so thin
00:27:43preglowyeah, the thinness really amazed me when i first got it
00:28:09amiconnYou can stack 3 nanos and they are still thinner than the ondio
00:28:24preglowwow, that much thinner
00:29:25ioboundwell my plugin kinda worked but crashed after playing about 0.2 seconds of audio. any hints on how to debug that?

00:30:37 Quit muesli- (Read error: 110 (Connection timed out))
00:30:46amiconnOn archos it increases gradually, as the data is read from the MAS

00:36:35amiconnandy_: Imho this shouldn't matter
00:36:59amiconnThe pcm recording continually updates num_rec_bytes
00:37:16amiconnThis resembles file size + buffered data
00:37:28andy_amiconn: also true..
00:37:37 Join San [0] (n=Test@212.2.163.159)
00:37:44amiconnWhen the size approaches 2GB-1MB, the recording thread signals the recording engine to start a new file
00:38:29amiconn...and the engine flushes the buffered data (which was already included in num_recorded_bytes), then starts a new file
00:38:52amiconnThe only posible problem I can see would be too much latency
00:38:54ioboundwhat's with the "sector 3d" ?
00:39:07amiconniobound: It's the simulated config sector
00:39:25ioboundok, is sector 3d used as config in the real version too?
00:40:17amiconnThe real version uses (sector_number_of_first_partition - 2) to store the configuration
00:40:36ioboundok
00:40:44amiconnThis is calculated at runtime; on most harddisks this is sector 0x3d == 61
00:41:06amiconnThe simulator always uses 0x3d, and simulates this in a file
00:41:10ioboundyeah, cause usually there's just the mbr and then 62 unused sectors, since partitions start on aligned offsets
00:41:16ioboundok, thanks for the info
00:41:19amiconnyup
00:41:28ioboundis there any risk of having a corrupted file system if rockbox hangs?
00:41:57ioboundare there many (cached/unflushed?) writes at any given time?
00:42:03amiconnFlash cards are usually formatted with 32 sectors/track, so on Ondio, the config sector is 0x1e
00:42:10ioboundok
00:42:31amiconnThe is no big risk
00:42:38andy_amiconn: yep.. hum.. should read the problem description again
00:42:40andy_2nd: Rockbox tries to split the file after reaching the 2gb limit (i thought the limit was 4 gb for fat32 as stated in the wiki? 2 gb is the limit for old avi-containers afaik), but it doesn't succed doing that and prompts "Harddisk full - press OFF to continue" and leaves a 2nd file with 0 byte in size. When you try to record again you will only create more 0 byte files - yes, there was enough space left, about 3 gb.
00:43:07 Join LinusN [0] (n=linus@labb.contactor.se)
00:43:24LinusNandy_: do you know for sure that there was 3gb left?
00:44:01amiconnandy_: Technically the FAT limit is 4GB-1, but a number of programs runs into problems when presented with files >=2GB
00:44:10amiconnSo we're just playing safe here
00:44:33andy_LinusN: no, it's from the forum :) however, "harddisk full" might not be the real reason - it is shown when audio_status returns error..
00:44:48LinusNah
00:45:01BBubLinusN: i posted that and yes i am sure :)
00:45:09LinusNyes, the only possible error on the archos was "disk full"
00:45:14amiconnI can't get my Makefle to behave :(
00:45:25LinusNBBub: how did you verify that?
00:46:00BBubi looked at the free space in the info screen and also let rockbox rescan the hdd to be sure
00:46:08LinusNok, good
00:46:28BBubit also showed the correct free space of 5 gb before recording
00:46:45andy_hm.. is_error is only set when open or write fails
00:47:26LinusNthere is a slight risk that the rockbox file system driver has issues with >2gb files

01:01:52ioboundyeah, pretty shocking
01:02:09preglowshocking and completely insane
01:02:15preglowthis is in the standard distribution?
01:02:37ioboundyeah it's basically 0.9.3 with a couple of one-lines to get it to compile without memcpy()
01:03:24preglowyou can use memcpy if you just include a 'extern struct codec_api *rb' at the top of all the files, somewhere, preferably in a common header
01:03:26LinusNDocBrown: i have a test for you
01:04:01ioboundi don't really see how an exported "_rb" symbol helps with linking against a missing "_memcpy" symbol..
01:04:01 Part webguest19
01:04:19preglowiobound: ahh, you'd have to do some #define memcpy rb->memcpy as well, yeah
01:04:34LinusNhttp://linus.haxx.se/H300.zip
01:05:08ioboundpreglow, i did that for the various strcpy/fopen/realloc() calls it does, but the memcpy() in question is generated automatically by gcc (the code in question copyed a struct using "=" operator)
01:05:19preglowiobound: how nice
01:05:49ioboundi even implemented a poor man's realloc() since it seems to want to do that a lot during loading
01:06:32ioboundunfortunately it never reclaims freed space so it's bound to crash sooner or later
01:06:40***Saving seen data "./dancer.seen"
01:07:21preglowhrmph

01:07:39BBubthe timer is counting on though
01:07:54ioboundi skimmed the source, it seemed to have something to do with you don't know how long / how many patterns/rows/something you need until you're done, kind of
01:08:45ioboundi didn't look like a 5 minute job removing the realloc calls, to put it that way. but hey, i'm not an C expert in any way

01:16:21preglowiobound: that's what we'll use anyway, it's way faster than any taylor approx we can do
01:16:32ioboundexp would do for lookup, but how to make a small enough lookup table for pow() which takes two doubles as parameters?
01:16:47preglowiobound: i'm willing to bet the base number is more or less always the same
01:17:02preglow2, i'd imagine

01:24:51preglowlostlogic: it's not that simple, you more or less have to do a proper profile, cache plays a huge part in coldfire performance
01:25:11preglowlostlogic: just by switching the placement of a couple of functions in libmad, i improved performance 25% once
01:26:02preglowlostlogic: the code cache is implemented in such a way that functions can collide by sharing the bottom 12 or so bits of an address
01:26:14lostlogicI see what you're getting at...
01:26:29lostlogicwhich would explain some of the weird results I was getting moving things around in IRAM yesterday.
01:26:39preglowlostlogic: iram is not cached
01:26:42lostlogicright
01:26:50lostlogichence the lightbulb
01:27:08preglowi was toying around with a CACHE_FUNC define some while ago, which would be used on all important functions, so that they would be placed right next to each other

01:33:30lostlogicso how would we go about getting real profiling on coldfire? I guess I'll have to read more about how gcc's profiling symbols work, and see if there's a way for rockbox to generate them for a particular thread in a way that can be referenced against the object files...?
01:38:06preglowwell, it's not impossible that gprof's profile library is ported to m68k
01:38:19preglowit will take some porting anyway, but might be worth checking out
01:39:33preglowright now i'm thinking perhaps some profile function support in rockbox itself would be nice, like perhaps a rb->prof_start() call and a rb->prof_end() call, and then rockbox caches the results for you, pretty much like logf works
01:39:39lostlogicfrom reading about profiling on gnu.org, what I'm getting is that the basic functionality should work on m68k... the problem is more with getting a profil() syscall into rockbox for the 'real' profiling (time in function)
01:39:43preglowthen rockbox could use timer.c for timing
01:39:53lostlogicyes, I was thinking along those lines as well
01:40:33preglowsimple, and quite effective
01:40:51preglowthe essence is the functions should be really simple to use
01:40:57lostlogicyeah
01:40:57preglowso profiling becomes easy
01:41:12preglowand afaik, it shouldn't really be much work
01:41:21preglowyou could even share the logging facility with logf
01:41:39preglowlogf and profiling could be one option
01:41:40lostlogicthat was the part that was most intimidating to me actually −− getting the info written out.
01:41:51preglowlostlogic: well, there you see, that functionality is already implemented
01:41:55lostlogic*nod*
01:42:43amiconnI doubt that a plain timer gives even half-decent values, without disturbing execution too much
01:42:59amiconnThe timing would need to be really fine-grained, correct?
01:43:06preglowcan't timer.c deal with that?
01:43:12preglowbut yeah
01:43:15preglowpretty fine-grained
01:43:26lostlogicrockbox is preemptive, right?
01:43:28amiconntimer.c just offers an interval timer, like the tick
01:43:31preglowlostlogic: correct
01:43:33amiconnlostlogic: nope
01:43:37preglowehh, no
01:43:38preglowcooperative
01:43:41preglowi mix terms
01:43:47lostlogic:(
01:43:48lostlogicI see
01:43:52lostlogicthat makes profiling harder
01:44:00lostlogicbecause we have to use a userspace timer call.
01:44:19preglowamiconn: but one should be able to fix the timed value when you know a) the timer interval, and b) approximate number of cycles needed by the timer interrupt?
01:44:23lostlogicin preemptive systems, the timer interrupt would do it
01:44:30amiconnpreglow: The interval is variable, but the lower you set the interval, the more overhead the timer will produce
01:44:42amiconnTimer operation will also disturb caching
01:44:50preglownot if we iram it
01:44:58amiconn...and you need to boost all the time to get reliable timings
01:45:03preglowso be it
01:45:14lostlogicprofiling isn't for the weak of battery.
01:45:28amiconnlostlogic: There is no distinct 'user space' in rockbox
01:45:43amiconnThe CPU runs in supervisor mode all the time
01:45:48lostlogicamiconn: aye, the point being there's no kernel space timer because there's no kernel space ;)
01:45:58amiconnokay
01:46:14preglowlostlogic: i don't see why that matters
01:46:17amiconnBtw, there is a 'kernel space' timer
01:47:03amiconnIt might be possible to do some trickery with the timer, but that requires handling it outside of timer.c
01:47:12amiconn...or even inside, but with a special method
01:47:35lostlogicI obviously need to read way more of the rockbox system code before starting to tackle this.
01:48:20amiconnInstead of just using timer interrupts and setting the rate high, it might be possible to set the rate low, and use both the interrupt counter and the timer counter itself for calculating the deltas
01:48:55preglowrockbox id3 info viewer has no stereo/mono indicator?
01:49:48amiconnThis is somewhat tricky, because the profiling function needs to stop the timer, wait a couple of cycles in order to process an eventually pending interrupt, then read both interrupt counter and timer value, the let the timer continue
01:50:08amiconnThis would also account for the processing overhead in the profiling function...
01:50:13CassandraRockbox has a new font. Woo and yay! ;)
01:50:27amiconn...because the timer would be stopped while in that function
01:50:29preglowi find it strange that a mono file shows different peaks on the peak meter...
01:50:35preglowCassandra: what font?
01:50:50CassandraIt's called jackash - see my last checkin message.

01:53:43AnInternetUseri thought i saw a list where all the stuff was checked off
01:53:49AnInternetUserbut i can't find a link to it anywhere
01:53:56preglowAnInternetUser: ahh, yeah, but that might be inaccurate
01:54:20preglowhttp://www.rockbox.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/IriverPort
01:54:31amiconnpreglow: The only problem with that method I can see is that the value will become wrong if interrupts are disabled for too long...
01:54:45lostlogicamiconn: my goal really is to reuse gprof functionality rather than writing something for rockbox from the ground up.
01:55:05amiconn...but that would also happen with a short-intrval timer (even more likely)
01:55:21amiconnlostlogic: I have no idea how that works, I never used it
01:55:53preglowlostlogic: would indeed be great, but i foresee a host of problems
01:56:35lostlogicit works by 'simply' recording the PC every timer tick (on modern systems) and then counting the ticks at each PC in order to determine time in function

01:58:04preglowbut the base binaries we want to test are stripped of everything after they've been linked and relocated to the plugin base address

01:58:22lostlogicugh
01:58:40amiconnI don't see a problem here
01:58:45preglowthe .elf files that still have symbols haven't yet been relocated to the base address
01:58:56preglowbut you can probably fix that quite easily
01:59:04amiconnYou can map PC->function with the .map files
01:59:04lostlogicnot a big problem... that's basic remapping

02:01:21preglowthat shouldn't be a huge problem

02:02:17lostlogicwell if we can do both of those things effectively...
02:02:45lostlogicis there a limit on how long a given thread can hold the CPU if it never yields?
02:02:51preglowno
02:02:58preglowit's not enforcable
02:03:02lostlogicok
02:03:22preglowour thread context only saves a subset of cpu state, so we can't just steal control of a thread
02:03:31lostlogicgotcha
02:03:31pregloweven though it is possible by interrupt
02:04:27preglowwe save all registers that aren't scratch, plus stack pointer, that's that

02:04:41XavierGrwow TiMiD is now idle for a 6th consecutive day! TiMiD: Were are you? We are missing you. :)
02:04:49lostlogicok, so can't we count execution time in functions by time between mcount calls less yields or something?
02:05:46preglowyou need to rephrase the last part of that so it's understandable
02:06:44lostlogicok, so the system is cooperative, which means that while the thread we are profiling has control, time spent in A is the time between when A calls mcount and when B calls mcount
02:06:57lostlogicso unlike preemptive system profiling we don't have to have two separate calls
02:07:11lostlogicunless of course I'm totally wrong.
02:07:12preglowyep
02:07:44preglowsounds right, as long as nothing here actually calls yield, heh
02:07:57lostlogicso, can we just record RTC values in mcount, and at every yield and do the calculations later?
02:08:28preglowwell, if you exchange 'rtc' with 'some high res timer', then yes
02:08:57lostlogictime-mcount-B - (time-mcount-A - (time-resume - time-yield)) = time-in-A
02:09:34lostlogicwe have high res timers that don't suck, I hope?

05:39:59*XavierGr wonders when an official release for H100 will be out! :)
05:40:22DreamTactix291probably can't be all too long from now
05:40:35DreamTactix291just minor things now probably
05:40:40ashridahthere's a cycle of feature freeze to get through first
05:40:46DreamTactix291the firmware runs very stable nowadays
05:40:47DreamTactix291yeah
05:40:52XavierGrImagine it: With our installer and the pics on the supported models page! :D
05:40:53ashridahand i suspect they'd like to have recording working against least one codec

05:41:36XavierGrwavpack seems nice, though I don't know how much of use it would be for me.
05:41:40DreamTactix291well
05:41:43DreamTactix291for me

05:41:56DreamTactix291so i'm more than familiar with it
05:42:18lostlogicwho here thinks I'll actually succeed in making a profiling system for rockbox?
05:42:39XavierGrat least I managed to record my concert without those iriver damn clicks! :D
05:42:40DreamTactix291you can succeed at anything if you keep at it
05:42:48DreamTactix291woohoo
05:43:18lostlogicDreamTactix291: thanks :) I've basically ripped out one good function from the GCC implementation of profiling and we'll see where it gets me.
05:43:26XavierGrI was very worried because 2 week ago recording was still at the debug menu
05:43:43XavierGrand very buggy.
05:43:49DreamTactix291yeah
05:44:02DreamTactix291once stuff gets up in priority it usually gets done fast
05:44:03XavierGrbut no it is lovely, only peak meter remains.
05:44:30DreamTactix291yep
05:44:52Paul_The_NerdAnd encoders.
05:45:11XavierGrwell I will not hold my breath for them...
05:45:27DreamTactix291well here's the thing
05:45:35JdGordon:'( my box is fucked
05:45:38DreamTactix291fixed point mp3 encoders aren't of high quality
05:45:55DreamTactix291so if you really care about archiving a recording that's probably not the way to go
05:46:04JdGordondoes chanign tracks with repeat stall the player for any1 else?
05:46:05Paul_The_NerdWho said MP3 encoders?
05:46:12DreamTactix291well that's one encoder
05:46:28Paul_The_NerdThere's already a working lossless WV encoder on Rockbox, it's just not hooked into the recorder
05:46:33DreamTactix291yep
05:46:38DreamTactix291i've used the wv encoder
05:46:43DreamTactix291it works fine
05:46:47Paul_The_NerdSame here
05:47:00XavierGrwhy it isn't comitted yet, any problems with it?
05:47:06Paul_The_NerdIt's comitted Xavier
05:47:14Paul_The_NerdIt's only useable as a viewer on .wav files
05:47:14XavierGr?
05:47:31XavierGrah so you can encode the wav files later?
05:47:36Paul_The_NerdYep
05:47:37DreamTactix291yes
05:48:00ashridahthere's just currently no framework for encoding files on the fly
05:48:07XavierGrwhat about an unnoficial mp3 plugin with a good encoder?
05:48:18DreamTactix291read what i said above
05:48:26DreamTactix291fixed point mp3 = like sine
05:48:27DreamTactix291shine*
05:48:30DreamTactix291not really of quality
05:48:55XavierGryes but we could find non-open source good wuality mp3 encoders
05:49:02XavierGrit is just that it would be illigal
05:49:11FingerSoupI'm looking at some of the plugin code, and I see a bunch of hex for the graphics. Is there a helper utility to make these graphics? if not, how do I go about encoding my own? (I've figured out how it works with minesweeper, but I don't know about sudoku...)
05:49:15XavierGrbut if it is unofficial hehe
05:49:43JdGordonFingerSoup: there is a tool to ocnvert bmp to hex, or just load them as bmps on the player
05:49:45DreamTactix291XavierGr: yeah but fixed point mp3 encoders still aren't very great
05:50:27Paul_The_NerdDreamTactix291: "great" isn't really necessary. If you want to preserve quality, you do lossless anyway. If you're using lossy on-site, you're *probably* just doing voice anyway.
05:50:36FingerSoupso opening a BMP in a hex editor should do it?
05:50:37DreamTactix291true
05:50:39XavierGrwell iriver has a good one. It is copyrighted though. And there comes the Unofficial!
05:50:51DreamTactix291iriver's mp3 encoder isn't that good
05:50:57Paul_The_NerdFingerSoup: There's a tool, bmp2rb or something. Don't quote me on the name, I don't remember. =/
05:50:59DreamTactix291it's just better than shine :P
05:51:02XavierGrI thought it was...
05:51:40FingerSoupahh, I see it - in the tools directory of rockbox-devel.... thanks
05:51:53XavierGrwell as I said wav is enough for me. I am happy with it anyway.
05:52:08DreamTactix291yeah
05:52:20DreamTactix291and you can losslessly compress on the unit anyway

06:25:47lostlogicthere is a sim for H300, keep in mind that the rockbox sims are just UI simulators, not full sims
06:27:07FingerSouptrue, but if I want to test a plugin for a connect 4 game i should test it in the sim before I ask to have it added to the CVS, right?

06:47:18JdGordoncan i disable it so the build works?
06:47:35ashridahit's being merged in and may cause random breakages atm because they need to get the rockbox firmware compressing for some of the older targets that have limits on how much data they can load on boot

07:28:29aliaskDid you get that WPS patch for the play mode running
07:28:30JdGordonwassup?
07:29:08JdGordonits a dead simple patch, but i dont know if its the firmware in general, or my playaer or what but it easily locked up the player
07:29:28JdGordonand switching from shuffle -> sorted list (and vice verca) doesnt work so well
07:29:33aliaskLocked up your player?
07:29:55JdGordonye jumping to next track with any repeat mode set
07:30:07JdGordonso dunno if it was the patch or what causes it
07:30:43aliaskIf you hold the A-B button when nothing is playing, you can alter the shuffle, etc, but not while something is playing. That might have something to do with it.
07:31:30JdGordonOH.. i didnt know the music had to be stoped to do it
07:31:39*JdGordon has been wondering where that damn screen went
07:31:42Paul_The_NerdIt *shouldn't* have to be.
07:31:59aliaskLet me double check it, but I think that's how it went.
07:32:01Paul_The_NerdBut for some reason that screen isn't showing up during WPS on the H300.
07:32:35aliaskYeah, you have to stop the music.
07:32:39JdGordonye, try it.. music has to be stopped, not even paused to get the screen
07:34:08*JdGordon hates the damn key mapping... NAV should cancel the track nav and play should play the song.. not the other way arround...
07:34:19aliaskAlso, on a side note, do the BMP's in peoples h300 WPS screens flicker?
07:34:31JdGordonye a bit...
07:34:44aliaskOk good, just as long as I'm not the only one.
07:34:47Paul_The_NerdPlay is actually Resume.
07:34:52Paul_The_NerdIt plays what's already playing.
07:34:57Paul_The_NerdNav selects an object
07:35:06Paul_The_NerdIt makes sense from one perspective.
07:35:10JdGordonye, thats what i mean.. its confusing :p
07:35:17*Paul_The_Nerd shrugs.
07:35:31Paul_The_NerdOther people think it's perfectly logical. I thought it was confusing initially, but now think it's really more logical
07:35:42Paul_The_NerdYou launch *any* file by "selecting" it. .txt or .mp3 or otherwise

07:38:12aliaskIt's a shame, it has such potential. And it's so close too. Pity my C skills fall a bit short. (I started learning yesterday, and have so far made extremely basic plugins)
07:38:39Paul_The_NerdThe menu that's A-B on the H300 is also A-B on the H100

07:39:55Paul_The_NerdNope
07:40:04Paul_The_NerdI think the estimate was about 72% speed or something like that?

08:03:09Bgri don't have anything particular in mind
08:03:30Paul_The_NerdWell, no the H300 bitmaps flicker, but thats not so much a bug in the WPS code as the display code I think. Wouldn't really know about that.
08:04:09Paul_The_NerdOtherwise, I'm pretty sure it's all "working as intended" at the moment.
08:04:33Bgri've seen only one bug in wps and it's the fact that when the statusbar is on and i load another wps ... the first line of the wps goes on the top of the statusbar
08:04:40Bgr(at least on the remote)
08:04:45Paul_The_NerdHrm
08:05:04Bgrsomeone confirmed this
08:05:05Paul_The_NerdDo your WPS have the %we or %wd tag in them?
08:05:21BgrPaul_The_Nerd: i haven't digged into WPSes
08:05:42Bgrjust loaded other wps than the default
08:05:44Paul_The_Nerd%we and %wd enable or disable the status bar.
08:06:01Paul_The_NerdI *think* they're necessary now for WPS to function properly
08:06:07Bgrand the first line (artist) didn't showed
08:06:32Paul_The_NerdHrm
08:06:35Bgrthen i loaded rockbox_default (is that the correct name)
08:06:54Paul_The_NerdBgr, was that one of the included WPSs or is it from the WpsGallery or elsewhere?
08:07:47Bgrand it showed on the top of statusbar (the artist name was long and i was able to see flickering statusbar/wps artist)
08:07:58Bgrafter reboot it was OK

08:12:47Paul_The_NerdLemme try to manually load the rwps
08:12:51FingerSoupIs there a restriction on my bitmap sizes?
08:12:59JdGordondont tihnk so
08:13:12BgrFingerSoup: it's up to the screen size iirc
08:13:29MembrilloI just finished iPodVOL optimisation for h3xx
08:14:05Paul_The_NerdBgr: If you use Browse Themes it works fine.
08:14:18Paul_The_NerdIf you browse the .rwps it behaves as you describe.
08:14:21BgrPaul_The_Nerd: but if you use the browse .rwps ... :)
08:15:00FingerSoupWell, it's a small bitmap.... 22x19
08:15:11Paul_The_NerdBut is default the only one that does this Bgr?
08:15:14JdGordonhas any1 tried enabling the fm reciever on the h300 and seenn if it works without mod?
08:15:20BgrPaul_The_Nerd: no idea :)
08:15:22Paul_The_NerdThe default wps/rwps are actually handled differently than all the others
08:15:33Bgrbut if it's the default, it's in the rb code
08:15:50Bgrsee, i haven'
08:15:57Bgrt had time to dig into this
08:16:40FingerSoupI'm getting mixed 16 and 8 bit digits outputted. ie: 0x3c, 0xfcfc,0xfc, 0x50, 0x00,
08:16:49JdGordonthats fucked :D
08:17:01FingerSoupCan I split the 0xfcfc to 0xfc 0xfc?
08:17:11JdGordontry it and find out :p
08:17:23BgrFingerSoup: isn't 0x3c = 0x003c ?
08:17:25JdGordonworst thing that will happen is it wont display properly
08:18:06FingerSouptrue... If not, is there an *ick* manual way to calculate?
08:18:19FingerSoupie: plotting on graph paper?
08:19:29JdGordonwhich player? i tinhk thats doable on the archos...
08:19:42FingerSoupalso, is it normal for the output to end in a comma? ie:0x00, 0x00,};
08:20:08Bgrhm, the last isn't supposed to be normla
08:20:10Bgrnormal
08:20:33FingerSoupSomething's funny in there...
08:21:43FingerSoupI am supposed to feed it a 1-bit BMP, right?
08:22:25BgrFingerSoup: r u using rb2bmp ?

08:22:40Bgroh, yeah
08:23:18Bgriirc the wps loading code supports only 1 (and maybe 2) bit bitmaps for now
08:23:41FingerSoupIt's not for wps.... it's for a Connect 4 plugin...
08:23:58Bgrhm
08:24:17FingerSoupSo I need the bmp2rb to make my bitmap...
08:24:25Bgrthen u should be able to use 16bit bitmap ...
08:24:30Paul_The_NerdBgr: I suspect the internal default rwps needs to be updated.
08:24:48FingerSoupok, I'll give it a shot, changing my bit depth...
08:24:50BgrPaul_The_Nerd: i suspect the same
08:25:22BgrFingerSoup: why don't u take a look at how the rb logo is showed ?
08:27:00FingerSoupI've been looking at plugins such as minesweeper and bejeweled. I want the graphics to be self-contained.
08:28:13FingerSoupthey have something that is SIMILAR to what bmp2rb outputs, but it's always a 2 hex-digit number, never 4, and the array ends with a hex digit, not an empty spot before the curly brace....
08:28:41Bgrhm... doesn't the bejeweled use a 1bit bmp as mask
08:30:00Bgri think it does, because of the color defines
08:30:06Bgr#define COLOR_BLACK LCD_RGBPACK(0,0,0)
08:30:06Bgr#define COLOR_RED LCD_RGBPACK(255,0,0)
08:30:11Bgrand so on...
08:30:52FingerSoupstatic unsigned char jewel[8][66] = { {0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00,...
08:30:58Membrillois there any way you can align text by pixel rather than left center or right in WPS's?
08:31:15FingerSoup 0x00, 0x00}
08:31:26BgrMembrillo: i don't think there is such way (for now)
08:31:32FingerSoupThat's the part I need to convert from BMP.....

08:32:44FingerSoupmunged even....
08:32:57Bgrhm
08:33:07FingerSoupA char is 8 bit... FCFC is 16 bit...
08:33:14BgrJdGordon: i don't think that u should try
08:33:32JdGordonits the same tuner as the h1x0's isnt it?
08:34:02Paul_The_NerdBgr: It only applies to the default, as far as I can tell
08:34:39BgrJdGordon: yes, it is, but you don't know whether it's on the same i2c address ...
08:34:54JdGordonwhats the worst that could happen?
08:34:54Paul_The_NerdBgr: Though poking around, I can't see why yet.
08:35:13BgrJdGordon: to write commands to different chip than the FM tuner
08:35:31JdGordonso what? crash? or crash and burn?
08:35:44Bgrmaybe crash ...

09:45:51Paul_The_NerdI upgraded to a newer version of my IRC client, and it doesn't display channel joins any more
09:46:29ashridahLinusN: SDL works across X11 just like any X11 client does
09:46:40ashridahLinusN: unless you're using it to get a GLX context.
09:46:53LinusNPaul_The_Nerd: it's propably fixed in the next daily build of your client ;-)
09:47:02LinusNashridah: good
09:47:04ashridahit'd probably vastly simplify input handling, drawing to the screen (the same code would work on windows and X11, pretty much)
09:47:13LinusNyeah
09:47:18ashridahof course, it means devs would need an SDL library for cygwin
09:47:21ashridahand headers
09:47:29ashridahbut there should be instructions for that on the SDL website afaik.
09:47:31LinusNthat was my next question
09:47:40Paul_The_NerdI should really use a real client, rather than ChatZilla
09:47:52LinusNPaul_The_Nerd: i use xchat2

10:17:45amiconnLinusN: For 16bit output, the conversion of 8bit channel brightness to 5/6 bit is done by a simple right shift
10:17:51amiconnThis is cheap, but imprecise
10:18:18LinusNwhat do you suggest?
10:18:29amiconnTook me quite a while to figure out how it has to be done correctly.
10:18:44 Join linuxstb [0] (n=linuxstb@i-83-67-212-170.freedom2surf.net)
10:19:21amiconnThe problem is that e.g a right shift by 3 maps 8 source values to one destination value (0..7 becomes 0, 8..15 becomes 1 etc),
10:19:31amiconnand this is wrong with graphics,
10:19:47amiconnbecause it should round to the _nearest_ value
10:20:06amiconnand that makes the ends of the whole interval half the width of the rest
10:20:33amiconnExample, disregarding scaling for the moment:
10:20:54*LinusN prepares his brain for a learning experience
10:21:56amiconnIf we map source intervals of 8 to one destination value, the first and the last source interval has to be cut in half
10:22:20amiconnSo 0..3 would map to 0, 4..11 would map to 1, ...
10:22:46amiconnThe inverse has to be done (and is done in bmp2rb) when expanding
10:23:07amiconn...otherwise white would never be white again

10:23:52amiconnThe right shift essentially does dv = sv / 8 which is equal to dv = (sv * 32) / 256
10:24:47amiconnWe need to do dv = ((sv + 127) * 31) / 255

10:44:24JdGordonactually, no, lost interest...
10:45:59Jungti1234Membrillo
10:46:52linuxstbJdGordon: I guessed that by the way you are searching Rockbox looking for something interesting to do :)
10:47:07JdGordonhmm.. ye
10:48:05JdGordonseen as the iriviers have a decent amount of ram.. is it possible to allow them to store the current playlist indicies twice? once for the sorted order and once for shuffled? that way we could jump between the 2 redicoulously quickyl...
10:48:45Paul_The_NerdI *do* keep accidetally generating shuffled playlists.
10:49:00Paul_The_NerdI'll add 4 or 5 folders, then check it before I save and it's all shuffled up because I forgot to turn it off.
10:49:25Paul_The_NerdOr at least the first bunch of songs are.
10:50:00JdGordonwhat id really like to do is put back the shuffling ability like the iriv fw.. but turning on/off shuffle stalled it..
10:50:05preglowlostlogic: you can't use iram for storing pc values, it's very tight there
10:50:35Paul_The_NerdWhat do you mean "like the iriver firmware?:
10:51:13JdGordonlong is 16bits ye?
10:51:30FingerSoupyes
10:53:01FingerSoupJdGordon - Just make an "All" Playlist, then use the "Shuffle Playlist" option....
10:53:19amiconnlong is 32bits
10:53:29amiconn(or more on 64bit CPUs)
10:53:55JdGordonno, i like quing up a directory or 3 and then have it on shuffle, but be able to turn shuffle of if i want to
10:54:31FingerSoupOops. How'd I screw that up....
10:54:37JdGordonamiconn: i told u guys yersterday my brain was asleep... i have nfi y i thought long was 16 :p what i meant to type was 64
10:55:12JdGordon... 64 = int*2...
10:55:14FingerSoupOh, Wait, it's 2:00 AM here....
10:56:07FingerSoupInt is 16 bits on 16 bit processors, 32 bits on 32 bit processors, and 64 on 64 bit processors, AFAIK...
10:56:41FingerSoupOr am I mixing that up with long? Aren't they synonyms?
10:57:22JdGordoni tinhk this is why we r tought in uni not to assume anything :D
10:57:29FingerSouphttp://www.phim.unibe.ch/comp_doc/c_manual/C/CONCEPT/data_types.html
10:58:31FingerSoupthere's a table for 32 bit processors in there.... 64 bit makes life more "Interesting"
11:00
11:00:03FingerSoupWhen in doubt, use sizeof()
11:00:26linuxstbThere's no reason not to always use sizeof()
11:00:53Paul_The_NerdClean, green build table. :)
11:01:07JdGordonso.. about the 2nd array idea? is it possibly doable? or stupid waste f ram?
11:01:15 Join TCK- [0] (n=tckocr@81-178-189-33.dsl.pipex.com)
11:03:36FingerSoupIt's not supportable with the current architecture, I thought.... Rockbox is supposed to work like rockbox. Changing the shuffle might take a lot more work, and may break other platforms with low memory (Archos stuff probably)....
11:03:37preglowFingerSoup: not alwayas true, amd64 has a 32 bit int
11:04:24FingerSoupIs that built on 32 or 64 bit OS? Does it change, or is it always 32?
11:04:44FingerSoupie: AMD can run in 32, 64 or hybrid mode
11:05:05FingerSoupat least that is my understanding from the initial tech docs I saw...

11:08:27preglowFingerSoup: for both 32 bit and 64 bit oses
11:08:40preglowFingerSoup: it depends on the compiler, of course, but afaik, all current compilers enforce it
11:08:55preglowFingerSoup: the 'long' is 64 bit, though
11:09:45FingerSoupahh, that's where I get mixed up. It's the long that changes, not the int (unless you go lower than 32 bit)
11:09:52merbananFingerSoup: what is hybrid mode ?
11:10:15preglowFingerSoup: the int usually changes as well, but not for amd64
11:10:24preglowFingerSoup: guess they were afraid of lots of code breaking
11:10:46FingerSoupmerbanan - It's a predominantly 32 bit mode with access to some 64 bit registers...
11:11:10preglownah, i think it's the other way around, 64 bit mode with possibility to run 32 bit code, like current v86 mode
11:11:25FingerSoupok, could be...
11:11:36preglowit makes no sense for 32 bit code to use 64 bit registers
11:11:55FingerSouptrue enough...

11:23:42LinusNamiconn: that would be nice indeed
11:23:43amiconncygwin provides all windows drives as /cygdrive/<drivelettr>/
11:23:44perplexityamiconn: Could the wps perhaps be extended with some form of metadata tag listings it's applicable targets?
11:23:50JdGordon.. but understands its too mcuh effort and not really needed
11:24:14Membrillowho wants to check out my ipoddy based WPS?

11:24:34LinusNJdGordon: yes, the directory structure was good back in the old archos days, but not anymore
11:24:46LinusNMembrillo: rar?
11:24:46Paul_The_Nerdamiconn: I think the WPS packager could do that if it read the "Width" as being equal to, rather than being the minimum required width.
11:25:15t0masMembrillo: do you have a screenshot?
11:25:15Membrillooh i can do it as zip if you want
11:25:16LinusNPaul_The_Nerd: nah, it should pick the highest
11:25:26LinusNhighest that fits
11:25:30Paul_The_NerdAh, the highest that fits.
11:25:46Paul_The_NerdMy brain is on its way to shutting down. That should've been obvious.
11:25:47amiconnThere's another problem in the wps packager that I noticed.
11:25:49JdGordonthe devs are eurpoeans or yanks?

12:18:30preglowJdGordon: you don't
12:18:45JdGordon... :'(
12:19:02*JdGordon is trying to be helpfull... but hurting brain
12:19:23LinusNbut if we started distributing rockbox zips with rockbox.iriver in .rockbox, people withj older bootloaders will have problems
12:19:38 Quit wett (Read error: 110 (Connection timed out))
12:19:44LinusNthat's why we'll wait until more people have upgraded
12:20:00amiconnLinusN: What's wrong with the installer builds?
12:20:07preglowJdGordon: there is a simple malloc for codecs, but its use is frowned upon, you should allocate statically all you need
12:20:11lamedah, you are so right about that.
12:20:13LinusNi have no idea, B4gder was supposed to check the logs
12:20:28JdGordonok, i think ive figured it out
12:20:28B4gderthey didn't give me much clues
12:20:32CassandraIs the installer going to get checked into CVS any time soon?
12:20:43lamedxaviergr: let me know if it's any better. thank for the link.
12:20:46B4gderWine exited with return code 1
12:20:46B4gder./installer/src/update-dailybuild: build-installer process failed: 31
12:20:49LinusNCassandra: that's a good idea
12:21:21Cassandra*nods* I think so.
12:21:37amiconnLinusN: Different matter - while I agree that exceeding the potential clipping limit for volume, I'm strongly against yet another option
12:21:44B4gderactually, most build system stuff should get checked in
12:21:50amiconnI know that you also want volume to be in dB
12:22:12LinusNyes i do
12:22:21XavierGrlamed: no, part 2 actually sucks big time. Don't watch it. I expected something more funny. pitty. I will probably head to smashmyxbox.com HAHA
12:22:31amiconnI have an idea how to account for both, but I'm not sure about the best way
12:22:38LinusNamiconn: shoot
12:23:28amiconnWe could just define the maximum volume guaranteed to not clip as 0 dB
12:23:50amiconnThen negative values never clip, positive values clip potentially
12:24:21LinusNexactly how i want it
12:24:23amiconnThe problem with that is that the 0 dB point would move with varying bass/treble
12:24:44Cassandrawhich would be very confusing, I feel.
12:25:03LinusNhmmm
12:25:08amiconnWe could simply define 0dB as the "minimal maximum" i.e. the one which doesn't clip at maximum bass+treble
12:25:51amiconnIn fact the MAS3587/MAS3539 do it almost the same
12:25:52LinusNlike the 93% on archos recorder
12:26:15lamedLaunch!
12:26:16amiconnOur 92% equal 0dB, 100% is +12 dB
12:26:27LinusNyup
12:27:00amiconnSo we could define today's 83% as 0 dB on iriver
12:27:14amiconnIt would go up to +24 dB then...
12:28:42LinusNsounds fair
12:29:01*perplexity just spotted the Chip-8 emulator... wooooooooo!!
12:29:27perplexityI remember programming on an original homebrew machine with the chip-8 rom years ago :) Now that takes me back
12:29:34LinusNare there any no-boot-black-lcd h300 owners here?
12:29:36amiconnBtw, I think using the full 24dB range for bass boost is silly
12:29:58*Cassandra uses a value of 16dB.
12:30:04amiconnReally?
12:30:14CassandraMy ER-4ps need the bass driven hard.
12:30:24LinusNwe've had this discussion before (not using the full potential of the dac) with bluechip, remember?
12:30:34amiconnNo?
12:30:38 Quit Bagder (Read error: 113 (No route to host))
12:30:51LinusNthat's why he made that mas3687 plugin
12:30:57LinusN3587
12:32:34preglowi think defining 0db that way would be kind of silly
12:32:54preglowi've never seen a system that defined 0db as anything other than full scale output
12:33:02preglowand we shouldn't break with too many conventions
12:33:37B4gderwell, I don't like the idea of db as volume scale at all
12:33:59CassandraIt does tend to be rather confusing.
12:34:14preglowi don't really see the big point in making the volume control use decibels as a unit
12:34:18preglowit wont be accurate anyway
12:34:35preglownot unless we map the scale we use to the one the uda chip uses
12:34:46LinusNtrue
12:35:06amiconnpreglow: That was the idea
12:35:17amiconn(mapping to the actual DAC scale)
12:35:21LinusNthe point of using dB would be that it's obvious that >0dB risks clipping
12:35:22preglowyup
12:35:52LinusNi once had an idea of using >100% for the same reason, but i liked db better
12:35:55preglowLinusN: why? you assume that people know about how digital audio works. there are analogue products out there that can be driven to 6db and higher without clipping
12:36:15B4gderI don't think very many people will see the connection of 0db vs clipping
12:36:17preglowLinusN: i agree if you map 0db -> 100%, but not if you map 0db -> 83% or whatever
12:37:06lamedxaviergr: there was some debate on an oldish misticriver post, that the battery thick is 3.2 mm, not 3.8. it seems like a mistake, but are you sure with the data you gave me? - another question. is it totally squarish - i mean, are the coreners round off? is the battery tapered at the tips?
12:37:23preglowa bit tapered here and there, yes
12:37:44preglowwhy don't you open it up and see?
12:37:52XavierGrlamed I cant be sure about these details, sorry
12:39:02amiconnI' also in favour of a dB scale for volume
12:39:18amiconnThe volume scale is logarithmic, so % don't make much sense
12:39:32CassandraMy old one is square
12:39:44LinusNthe only problem is that Joe User isn't familiar with dB
12:39:49FebsThere would be much confusion about using a db scale. You've got people who just can't understand why 20 on the iriver doesn't equal 50 on Rockbox. How will they understand a volume setting with negative numbers.
12:40:04*Paul_The_Nerd votes for dB
12:40:04XavierGrIMHO volume on rockbox is already confusing
12:40:05LinusNon the other hand, who cares about the scale?
12:40:15preglowLinusN: does it matter? i thought we did this for internal reasons anyway
12:40:19XavierGr50 isn't half the volume...
12:40:21 Join Wett [0] (n=Wett@d02v-62-34-192-173.d4.club-internet.fr)
12:40:31CassandraAnd approx 2mm thick.
12:40:31LinusNyou adjust the volume until it is right for your ears
12:40:36amiconn..and that > 0 dB mean potential clipping isn't my own idea... it's just how the newer MAS' do it
12:40:43Paul_The_NerdIf they're already confused, think that 1% is a set increment, then does it may even force them to realize it's not the expected scale.
12:40:54CassandraI believe that the replacement is thicker though.
12:40:57Paul_The_NerdWow, that sentence doesn't even read like I'm a native English speaker...
12:41:09XavierGrhaha Febs you got my ignorance
12:41:16B4gderPaul_The_Nerd: no, you can't be! ;-)
12:41:19 Quit Zak1392 ()
12:41:29Paul_The_NerdIn my defence it is 5:40 in the morning.
12:41:37preglowanyway, the display shouldn't be decibel anyway
12:41:45preglowanyway anyway anyway
12:41:47CassandraArbitrary units for volume are fine, since it's entirely subjective what the 'correct' volume is anyway.
12:42:26amiconnThere is quite a number of consumer devices with a dB scale... even using negative values for less than full volume
12:42:46XavierGryes I have seen that a lot.
12:42:47preglowwell, anything else would be plain wrong, so they should
12:42:50Paul_The_NerdMy home stereo does.
12:43:06CassandraMost peak meters do.
12:43:24CassandraBut then my rather nice stereo uses 0-100 just like Rockbox.
12:43:30ashridahand lets not forget every self-respecting equalizer uses +ve/-ve scales
12:43:35amiconnMy home stereo happens to use a scale of 0..100 though
12:43:54B4gderI would say that _most_ devices use 1-100, 0-100 or 1-10
12:43:59Paul_The_NerdMy cheap stereo uses a scale from 1 to 30 though.
12:44:15amiconn...but I also know a fairly old panasonic compact stereo that uses dB
12:44:28Paul_The_NerdI think you've got two decisions to make then
12:44:51preglowstill: why are we switching to db?
12:44:55Paul_The_NerdOne: Do you have some means of indicating where the "possible clipping may occur" point is (>100% or >0dB)
12:44:59ashridahgive people yet-another-option! yay!
12:45:01CassandraI just don't see the point in all these clipping options.
12:45:03Paul_The_NerdThen, if the answer to that is definitely YES, then what scale?
12:45:08preglowCassandra: why not?
12:45:30CassandraWell, the default has always seemed to work fine for me.
12:45:42preglowCassandra: well, yeah, but other people use rockbox as well :)
12:45:43 Quit merbanan (Read error: 110 (Connection timed out))
12:45:48Cassandra(And I use obscenely high boost settings and very quiet headphones.)
12:45:51FebsThe present default is probably THE single biggest complaint about Rockbox.
12:45:58preglowyeah
12:46:01LinusNFebs: yup
12:46:03preglowi think it's a decent option
12:46:12Cassandrapreglow, no other *important* people though. ;)
12:46:46preglowCassandra: of course not, but we've got to toss the other masses an option or two from time to time to give the impression we care about them
12:47:03XavierGrso if the volume scaling change: I will be able to raise volume in such way that clipping will occur?
12:47:19preglowXavierGr: yes
12:47:33XavierGrwithout an option to disable such thing?
12:47:33preglowthat is, not with the volume scale change itself
12:47:47preglowwe're talking about an option that will let you choose as well
12:47:48XavierGr(with bass,right)
12:48:00CassandraI say if we must do it leave the volume as is and add another option.
12:48:01XavierGrah then I am with it too.

12:48:40XavierGrtrully though I don't care I never use eq. ;p
12:48:42preglowbut yeah, are we changing to decibel scale to ease detection of possibility of clipping, or not?
12:48:44LinusNi dislike optionitis as well
12:48:50preglowXavierGr: me neither
12:49:10XavierGrbut why dislike too many options?
12:49:11LinusNpreglow: my idea is using db in both the interface and internally
12:49:26XavierGrI thought that this is the good part of Rockbox
12:49:27*Cassandra ponders the idea of moving advanced configuration (or extreme tweakability) to a plugin, thus keeping the main binary small and simple.
12:49:32XavierGrUser configurable
12:49:53LinusNCassandra: the main application still has to understand the settings
12:49:59CassandraXavierGr, confusing, and takes up more memory.
12:50:19CassandraLinusN, true, but you don't need to have all the menus for configuring it in the binary.
12:50:22XavierGrI see as problem only the second
12:50:27preglowthe menus aren't the space eater
12:50:36preglowafaik
12:50:54XavierGrit is better to have more happy users instead of some confused
12:50:59CassandraXavierGr, well, I'm actually concerned with making Rockbox more accessible to mainstream users, so both are a concern for me.
12:51:04XavierGrthat's why there are manuals you know
12:51:12FebsPeople don't read them.
12:51:24XavierGrtheir problem IMHO
12:51:29Paul_The_NerdI think that there's already a pretty significant division in users.
12:51:30preglowwell, yeah, a bit
12:51:39preglowbut we also know they don't, so have the possibility to adjust
12:51:43Paul_The_NerdThose who understand why the volume seems different than iRiver FW, and those who don't.
12:51:54CassandraXavierGr, yes and no. If it puts them off using Rockbox, it's not a good thing.
12:52:24preglowbut i also like having options, it's what sets rockbox apart from the other oses
12:52:25Paul_The_NerdAnd I think the former group will probably nod and think something like "those kooky developers" then shrug and go back to normal life with a change in the volume scale.
12:52:26XavierGrAll well known programs (that are famous and very Joe user friendly) are full of options.
12:52:31CassandraSince we rely entirely on word of mouth to 'market' Rockbox.
12:53:21CassandraRockbox is currently the Microsoft Word of MP3 players.
12:53:28XavierGrWell these options make rockbox to shine over all the other firmwares. This sweet taste of configurability ;p
12:53:39CassandraSure, it's neat to have all those options, but your average user doesn't need 90% of them.
12:53:42preglowhowever, we might want to hide some advanced options somehow
12:53:46preglowwithout cluttering things too much
12:54:03XavierGrwel that's an option too
12:54:36perplexityput all the *advanced* type configuration options into a plugin
12:54:37preglowi've got one leg in each camp, really, i think rockbox is a better os with more configurability, but i also see that lots of people never want to deal with them
12:54:43XavierGrbut setting an option limit to rockbox is not good. Rockbox should be limitless.
12:54:51preglowperplexity: why into a plugin? why not just a separate menu?
12:55:03 Quit Wett_ (Read error: 110 (Connection timed out))
12:55:07preglowthe menu code isn't what takes space, the code to handle the different options is what takes space
12:55:11perplexityJust thinking of binary size mainly
12:55:24perplexityOh well, then a separate menu
12:55:25preglowand that code needs to be in the main binary, mostly
12:55:29Paul_The_NerdHrm
12:55:50XavierGrThough still if you make a poll you should see that most of the users like all sorts of options.
12:56:05 Quit linuxstb (Remote closed the connection)
12:56:07preglowmost of our current users, yes
12:56:18preglowwe also want the ones we aren't getting because of our current profile

12:56:52FebsI've mentioned this before, but one thing that would help with useability would be to move the Playback setting to the main menu.
12:56:53preglowfools and idiots!
12:57:08perplexityMy father has a h320 and I have the h340.. I showed him rockbox yesterday.. he liked the 8 second startup to sound, but the menus and options just put him off..
12:57:22XavierGrDo you now such a person? That owns a rockbox compatible device and refuses to operate it.
12:57:26XavierGrI know only 1
12:57:38preglowXavierGr: nah, but i don't know too many people with rockbox capable devices
12:57:48preglowXavierGr: primarily myself and... that's that
12:58:06FebsSure, there are a number of people on Mistic River who have chosen to stick with the original FW. They're in the minority, but they certainly exist.
12:58:08XavierGrwell I meant from forums irc and stuff.
12:58:09preglowthat is, i know people with ipods, but those don't count yet
12:58:46XavierGrFebs: what percentage we are talking about. I know only Haku that didn;t want to use rockbox because of WMA
12:58:49linuxstbamiconn: Yes, a separate HAVE_RTC_RAM was what I was thinking of. Maybe we'll need a CONFIG_RTC as well, but I'll see when I try and implement it.
12:58:51preglowFebs: do you know what the most usual complaint is?
12:58:58XavierGr(the first was a question)
12:59:14MoosFebs: it's because they needed option don't working yet or just working (remote, rec...)
12:59:36FebsProbably the most important factor to them is WMA support, but I think that there are some who just don't want to be bothered.
12:59:48CassandraI suspect a lot of iPod users won't want to re-encode their iTunes libraries.

13:00:05FebsThe recent inclusion of themes and WPS in the rockbox build is a BIG step towards getting some of the latter people over to RB.
13:00:28preglowCassandra: the ipod is a pretty different matter altogether, we are in no way targeting apple firmware users the way we're currently targeting iriver firmware users
13:00:37XavierGrIt seems crazy to me that more than 5% of Husers (that know rockbox exists) would choose iriver fw
13:00:43preglowCassandra: we know from the start we probably wont be able to convert the apple users
13:00:55FebsXavierGR: I don't think that MR is representative of the general population.
13:00:59Paul_The_NerdI still suspect you *could* implement an on-target iTunes decryptor.
13:01:12linuxstbXavierGr: Those 5% are probably the people with large WMA collections.
13:01:22MoosXavierGr: when rockbox will be "full" why don't use it ;)
13:01:24XavierGrFebs we are talking about users that know that rockbox exists.
13:01:27preglowPaul_The_Nerd: yes, but i believe there are certain legal implications in certain countries...
13:01:35Cassandrathe Apple format uses DRM. Philosophically we should not be supporting DRM.
13:01:40XavierGrHow could an Huser that never gets to internet to hear about rockbox?
13:01:45preglowand i wouldn't want to either, no
13:01:54preglowi'd just shun any way of supporting it
13:01:59CassandraXavierGr, from their friend that uses Rockbox.
13:02:09preglowand rather at least do a good _try_ at educating people
13:02:16FebsThere is a huge different between a user who "never gets to the internet" and a user who doesn't frequent an "iriver enthusiast" forum.
13:02:27Paul_The_Nerdpreglow: I didn't say it should or anything. I'm just saying that if the right people get bored, reencoding libraries won't be a barrier. It wouldn't even have to strip the encryption.
13:02:43preglowPaul_The_Nerd: definitely possible, yes
13:03:15XavierGrCassandra: do you know many persons in your physical life to use rockbox. I know only 1. And that's the only user I know with an iriver.
13:03:22Paul_The_NerdNot me mind you. I've never had an AAC file, let alone an encrypted one. I'm a fan of CD-Roms.
13:03:52XavierGr(excuse "physical" I mean real)
13:04:03preglowwhat, this isn't my real life? ;)
13:04:15*preglow tries to wake up
13:04:17CassandraNope. But you asked me how they would hear about it.
13:04:19XavierGrehm you know off the internet
13:04:25CassandraThat's the only possible mechanism.
13:04:44MoosXavierGr: like preglow already said just few Rockbox devices owners
13:04:51Paul_The_NerdI suspect that once the iPod port is playing music on 4gs and/or Nanos, you could get another front page on Slashdot and generate a huge amount of interest in both the project, and the other ports (assuming a list of in-progress and current targets was part of it.) That might be a solid way to get 'word of mouth' out, as it's a high profile target.
13:04:52Moosbut soon lot news one
13:05:24CassandraPaul_The_Nerd, precisely why I was so happy to see Rockbox for iPod happening.
13:05:26XavierGrThe user must be at least a little techy to know about rockbox. Or keep up with news about his device.
13:05:26preglowPaul_The_Nerd: indeed, let's just hope we can get the port done in reasonable time
13:05:36B4gderand then we can snatch over some IPL users ;-)

13:10:03XavierGrFebs: How this "gapless gapless" thing started. I can't catch the joke. Is it about the fraud attemp of iriver to emulate gapless?
13:10:16Paul_The_NerdIn the future DAP makers should just port rockbox to their targets for you guys. It'll probably be cheaper than writing firmware from scratch for them.
13:10:36XavierGrThey will not do such thing Paul
13:10:44Paul_The_NerdYes, but they *should*
13:10:55XavierGrCompanies don't like to have a "best" player on the market.
13:11:08Paul_The_NerdTrue. They also want to be able to be compatible with music stores.
13:11:09XavierGrThen people would had no need to upgrade to another player.
13:11:25XavierGrThat's what I hate most.

13:13:16lamedguys, rb isn't playing your files with better quality. it does not prolong your battery life for sure. -every player is sold with _it's own_ firmware. if you've installed rb on an iriver, i guess you know what a playlist is and you need that. why not buying an ipod? - because the h hardware was better. - it has line in/out and stuff. why not stick with the old firmware? - well, if it hadn't came to your interest, you probebly shouldn't! - I vote

13:15:40lamedouch. no that was my opinion. I'm sorry i'm not a native english speaker as you can see.
13:16:53lamedlater
13:16:55XavierGrwell it sure sounds strange for a rockbox fun lamed.
13:17:07Paul_The_NerdAh. Well, in an effort to explain why I'd switch to the new firmware: I like lossless music formats. I like the option to have the information I want displayed on the screen while playing music. I like to play Sudoku and Bejeweled on my player. Yes, it doesn't guarantee better battery life. But it does offer a lot of other stuff.
13:17:20Paul_The_NerdBy "the new firmware" I mean Rockbox.
13:18:03Paul_The_NerdAh well
13:18:38XavierGrI like rockbox as being the most configurable and versatile firmware on the world. I will never buy another DAP without rockbox compatibility.
13:18:42Jungti1234I want to translate plugin in Korean.
13:19:03XavierGrPlugins aren't translated iirc
13:19:51JdGordonwhat top time in the runnig time debug screen?
13:20:54XavierGrtop time that the battery survived.
13:22:44Moosbut those datas don't update fine, need to charging in same time I believe
13:23:14markunI also vote for db
13:23:28MoosXavierGr: your plugin is surly better for this ;)
13:23:30markundamn, should scroll down before typing :)
13:23:39Moos:-)
13:23:47Paul_The_NerdHehehe
13:23:51XavierGragain I will pester. If you want accurate battery results use my battery_benchmatk tsr plugin. ;p
13:24:04XavierGrlol thanks Moos :d
13:24:11Moos;-)
13:24:39Paul_The_NerdWell, at the very least a patch could be put into the tracker to either add an option, or just change it, so those who would like it can use it, and those who are unsure can try it and form an opinion?
13:33:08JdGordondoes any1 else like the idea of adding a get_setting and save_setting sort of function for plugins to use, and then "force" them to load key mappings from their setting file?
13:33:36JdGordonby force, i mean nag the plugin dev, not a software restrcition..
13:34:47JdGordonany1 still here?
13:35:21Paul_The_NerdI've been distracted by videogames.
13:35:30Paul_The_NerdTo what purpose would you do that?
13:35:51JdGordonso key mappings arent hard coded, coz they are stupid :D
13:36:10JdGordonalso, to get plugin devs to make more user configurable settings
13:36:22ashridahdoes anyone maintain a working build of rockbox with unicode support? or just the patch
13:36:31markunashridah: I do both

13:37:09markunWell, I just keep it working here locally.
13:37:22markunIt's not on a webpage if that's what you're asking for
13:37:29ashridahah, i meant a release other people could use. bummer.
13:37:40ashridahjust someone asking about it in MR that's all.
13:38:12Mooslet's hope it will be commited soon :)

15:00:30perplexityPerhaps, but there is something that is causing the pcm buffer to underrun.. when I modify sound.c to just wait until more data becomes available it plays 1 second, pauses for 2, and cycles like this..

15:36:44perplexitylostlogic: I have moved no further on the profiling..
15:38:38lostlogicperplexity: I'm knee deep in writing a profiling architecture for rockbox so we can profile on the unit, no ETA as of yet.
15:39:08perplexityDid you look at the link that LinusN posted yesterday for the rockbox profiling patch that has already been started?
15:39:18lostlogiceek, no, do you have it?
15:39:41perplexityhttp://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&atid=439120&group_id=44306&aid=1157222
15:40:02perplexityIt's fairly simple, but it makes it easy to instrument selected pieces of code..
15:41:04perplexityI have given up on the profiling idea myself and gone off to learn about (i)mdct and (i)fft to see if I can a) become a little more useful/enlightened, and b) pick a more efficient algorithm for the mdct in Tremor..
15:41:31lostlogichehe cool
15:42:03perplexityTremor first.. video codec next ;p) (Said mildly tongue in cheek)
15:42:16lostlogicI'll probably use the PROFILING_WRITE function from this patch in my stuff, but I'm working to leverage the -pg option of GCC and more automagic profiling...

16:04:13amiconnThe reason for a scrolling line is that the text is longer than the line, so what's the use of it stopping arbitrarily in-between?
16:04:25amiconnThe text should be readable during scrolling of course
16:04:38B4gderLinusN: thanks, got something like a bug report on the u-boot mailing list... :-)
16:04:42B4gderI'll see what he means
16:04:43amiconn...which requires to adjust the scroll step & speed accordingly
16:05:20markunamiconn: arbitrarily in-between? I pause at the beginning of the line.
16:05:37LinusNi got an international h320 today
16:05:37amiconnYes. For me that's still arbitrary
16:05:58LinusNbut it didn't have the bootloader black-lcd issue :-(
16:06:02amiconnA useful thing would be to implement jump-scroll for bitmap targets, imho
16:06:23LinusNthat's good
16:06:39LinusNi can simulate it woth 150px step size and a slow scroll speed
16:06:58markunHow does just-scroll work?
16:07:02markunjump
16:07:48lostlogiccan anyone think of a good reason to use a separate counter for profiling ticks from the main tick counter?
16:07:50amiconnJump scroll is implemented for the player
16:08:21amiconnIt shows the whole line in 'chunks', each for a set amount of time
16:08:59Lynx_lostlogic: maybe for profiling the main tick counter? ;)
16:09:00amiconnThe chunk is the viewable width of the LCD, but adjusted so that the next chunk starts at the beginning of a word
16:09:04amiconn(if possible)
16:09:29markunsounds nice
16:09:51amiconnYou can select whether you want jump scroll, and how many times it should jump scroll until it resorts to normal scrolling
16:10:02lostlogicLynx_: that's the question −− is that a reasonable way to count ticks spent in each function, or do I need to create a separate tick counter
16:10:03amiconn(iirc 1x ... 5x or always)
16:10:36markunwhat's the use of switching to normal scrolling?
16:11:05amiconnWell, I have jump scroll enabled on my player, jump-scrolling once

16:12:08amiconnDo you have wine?
16:12:12markunyes
16:12:29amiconnThen you can try it with the windows sim...
16:13:12markunI used to do a lot with the simulator, was quite a useful tool. Maybe I should try to convert the sed code that broke it.

16:21:43markunrotation will complicate a lot of things so I understand you don't want it, but it's still nice on the Gigabeat
16:24:21markunamiconn: did you try rockbox with the scrolling delay or do you just assume it sucks?

16:28:41LinusNmarkun: hmmm, i now discovered that i don't like it either :-)
16:28:54LinusNi'd like it better if it stopped at the end of the scroll instead

18:26:19mirakI want to try, but I am afraid ...
18:26:20mirak:)

18:26:46mirakI don't want you to say me go ahead, just to know what are the exact risks actually
18:27:08rockriver140so how do I get video working on my H140 !:-) wooo!
18:27:13LinusNthe biggest risk is to "miss the flash"

19:18:52Slasheriprobably you should start reading from apps/main.c. That is where the code starts (or it start from crt0.S in fact)

19:23:39leftrightHi Slasheri
19:23:45Slasherihi leftright :)
19:23:57leftrightgot a bug for you :)
19:24:01leftrightcrossfade shuflle mode doesn't deselect if shuffle mode is disabled
19:24:03Slasherihehe, nice :P
19:24:19SlasheriHmm, interesting
19:25:21SlasheriOr do you mean it will crossfade always when manually selecting a song if crossfade is activated?
19:25:34leftrighter no
19:25:51Slasheriok, i will try.. just a moment :)
19:26:23leftrightIf the crossfade "shuffle" mode is selected, it should then only crossfade if shuffle is enabled
19:26:31ioboundrock & roll, i'm playing 2nd_pm.s3m PERFECTLY in the win32 ui sim with my own plugin.
19:27:09ioboundi got the necessary exp(), log(), floor() methods from freebsd's libmsun, and found out that pow() could be expressed as exp(log(x)*y)
19:27:09leftrightbut if shuffle is deselected it should then disable the crossfading, or do I have it wrong
19:27:16ioboundwonder if it compiles for m68k too
19:28:06Slasherileftright: Hmm.. it disables it if i deselect the shuffle mode.. Then it will not crossfade when skipping tracks
19:28:36leftrightbut it continues to crossfade, is this correct ?
19:29:07Slasherileftright: if it's already crossfading when you disable the shuffle mode, then it has no effect
19:29:09_FireFly_crossfade doesn't have an mode shuffle only repeat has an option/mode shuffle

19:31:24leftrightok, so if I only want to enable crossfading if I shuffle songs I dont need to select crossfade on ?
19:31:27_FireFly_i can't see such an mode in the crossfade option
19:31:33ioboundwhat does it mean when i get a green screen with I04:IllInstr 1000115A
19:31:35leftrightlast option
19:31:47ioboundi guess it means an illegal instruction?
19:31:48Slasherileftright: no, then you should select the shuffle mode
19:32:03_FireFly_i have only shuffle or mix as an option
19:32:16_FireFly_in fade out mode
19:32:20Slasheri_FireFly_: Hmm, there should be on, off and shuffle

19:36:32iobounddoes anyone know how I can find out where in my .rock file the illegal instruction at 1000115A is?
19:36:43ioboundi assume i have to use m68k-objdump −−disassemble?
19:37:01Slasheriiobound: if you have compiled rockbox, you can look from the .map files
19:37:20ioboundbut the map files all have addresses like 0x32f4047e
19:37:29ioboundi guess rockbox loads the .rock file somewhere else in memory or something?
19:37:36SlasheriHmm, 0x1... is on iram
19:38:07leftrightgapless also seems to be broken, it's not as seamless as it used to be (crossfade off ofcourse)
19:38:07ioboundokay? do I have to do something special to get my code on iram? it probably in my own code
19:38:15Slasheriyep, the .rock files are separate
19:38:29ioboundi just need to find out what instruction is illegal
19:38:37Slasheriin generally yes
19:38:37ioboundand it played so well in the win32 simulator :(
19:38:47Slasherinormally code is not in iram
19:39:11ioboundis that those IATTR things i've seen specified on some functions and data structures?
19:39:30Slasheriyep, excactly
19:39:33 Join Maxime [0] (n=flemmard@fbx.flemmard.net)
19:39:47ioboundok, so that means the error was not in my code? that's too weird.
19:40:04Slasheriit doesn't mean that.. =)
19:40:20iobounddo you know how I can find out exactly which instruction it is? i'm not afraid of objdump and 68000 assembly, although it's been a while since i did anything with it
19:41:04_FireFly_Slasheri: i have just tested it i can't here that the player crossfades if crossfade is set to shuffle and shuffle is off
19:41:10Slasherihmm, you could try the m68k-objdump but that is not the easiest way to figure it out..
19:41:36Slasheriiobound: probably you should check the plugins map-file
19:41:52ioboundyeah but nothing in the map file looks anything remotely like "1000115a"
19:41:58Slasheri(apps/plugins/your_plugin.map in the compiled directory)
19:42:13ioboundyeah i'm looking at it
19:42:17leftrightFirefly: try it with 3 sec fadeout and fade-in only
19:42:21SlasheriHmm.. then it could be something like incorrect pointer etc.
19:42:27ioboundit's all "0x32f41362" and so on, nothing like "0x10001234"
19:42:29_FireFly_leftright: i had it set to 6sec each
19:42:40ioboundok
19:43:00Slasheriiobound: just try debugging where the problem occurs.. use logf for example
19:43:03ioboundany debugging hints in general? should I just add a lot of rb->splash calls? :)
19:43:05leftright6 secs ought to do it :-)
19:43:12ioboundok
19:43:18ioboundwhere does logf log to?
19:43:28Slasherilogf is generally better, because it goes to the remote lcd
19:43:29_FireFly_the only thing which i have noticed is that the played-time-display stops ca. the amount of choosen fade-out time
19:43:42ioboundoh, ok. i guess i have to dig up my remote, i'm not even sure if it has an lcd
19:43:45Slasheriand you can see many logf messages at once
19:44:10ioboundtoo bad one can't debug across usb :)
19:44:21Slasheri:D
19:44:26ioboundthis is gonna take all night, rebooting into iriver firmware, uploading a new .rock file, rebooting back to rbx etc
19:45:16_FireFly_iobound: why booting into iriver fw ??
19:45:24Slasherireally? that's not so hard.. i have a script put.sh so that i just need to plug usb cable, run make && ./put.sh and unplug :)
19:45:25_FireFly_the bootloader has an usb-mode
19:45:43ioboundfirefly it does? i thought it wasn't implemented for h300
19:45:50_FireFly_oh ok
19:45:54_FireFly_that's true
19:45:54Slasheriah, h300 might be different..
19:46:02ioboundoh, sorry i forgot to mention that :)
19:46:06_FireFly_;)
19:46:59 Quit B4gder ("time to say moo")
19:47:03ioboundanyway, the .map file says .text starts at 0x324f0000, maybe that get mapped to 0x10000000 ? in which case i should look for 0x324f115a
19:47:20Slasherino
19:47:27ioboundno?
19:47:33Slasheribut there might be some variables in iram or something like that
19:48:05ioboundit would make sense, "duh_render" is at 0x32f41142, just below the crash address, which makes sense because that's the methods called when it crashed
19:49:08Slasheriah.. that could be possible, i am not really sure what the address codes means that rockbox prints out
19:49:47ioboundcalculating 115a-1142 gives 18, and objdump on libdumb.a shows duh_render starting at 0x1a in its compile unit, so addin 18 to 1a yields 0x32, and at that address, "clrl %d0"
19:50:12ioboundthat just clears register d0, doesn't it?
19:50:20ioboundthat couldn't possibly be an illegal instruction?
19:50:25ioboundi guess i'm on the wrong track after all
19:50:27Slasheriyes, interesting
19:51:31Slasheristill i would say that logf or splash works better to locate which part of the code crashes
19:51:45_FireFly_yepp
19:52:05ioboundok
19:52:31leftrightDark Side Of The Moon is not a nice listening experiance with the gap(less) modified

19:53:07DreamTactix291The Human Equation sounds really bad with added gaps

21:37:38linuxstbiobound: Have you tried disabling the audio output in your plugin?
21:38:07iobound_no, what would the point in that be?
21:38:25linuxstbFor testing. You're saying it crashes.
21:38:42linuxstbI'm just asking if it works without audio output.
21:39:00iobound_well, it runs until play_pcm_data() and a few callbacks to the get_more() callback
21:39:18iobound_also, it works with audio output in the simulator
21:39:45iobound_and the "I04: Illegal Instruction at 1000115a" seems to point to the "DMA0" interrupt handler
21:39:47linuxstbOK. So you've already narrowed the problem down to the audio output.
21:40:06iobound_well, hm.
21:41:03iobound_i think i'm going to try to write a main loop that just renders into a buffer and does nothing with it, as you suggested.
21:41:35linuxstbIf I was you, I would write the data to a file and check that the decoding is OK.
21:41:45iobound_that's a great idea, thanks

21:42:23iobound_i'll try it later tonight
21:43:25linuxstbDo you know if dumb is endian-safe? The iriver is big-endian, the win32 simulator is little-endian.
21:44:13iobound_i'm not sure. i'm aware iriver is big-endian. i ported (well, copied and pasted, more like) exp(),floor(),log() from freebsd's math library and made sure to modify #if ENDIANNESS == BIG_ENDIAN to #ifdef ROCKBOX_BIG_ENDIAN
21:44:15Slasheriiobound: what are you doing inside the get_more() function? You should not call _any_ system calls from there
21:44:56Slasheribut now i have to go, cu tomorrow
21:44:58iobound_i'm calling duh_render() into my char[] buffer
21:45:04iobound_ok, seeya, thanks for you help so far
21:45:38iobound_i'll try rendering to a file, if that works then I'll know it's not endianess-trouble or anything in dumb
21:45:44Slasheriyou shouldn't do that
21:45:53Slasheriit probably causes it to crash
21:46:12Slasheriyou have to render the file outside and buffer it somewhere
21:46:53iobound_you think it causes the file system to be corrupted?
21:47:16Slasherino, rockbox crashes because you are making system calls inside ISR handler (get_more())
21:47:22iobound_ok
21:47:32Slasherino sleep, disk access or anything like that is allowed inside that function
21:47:55iobound_ok. but would it cause an "illegal instruction"?
21:48:02iobound_is it because rbx is not re-entrant, or something?
21:48:07Slasheriit can cause anything
21:48:14iobound_why? :)
21:48:24Slasherino, isr functions can never have system calls
21:48:32Slasheriyou have to implement buffering
21:48:35Slasheribut now time to go :) ->

22:21:12ioboundso it seems it's somewhere between 3% and 50% of realtime
22:21:26linuxstbThat's normal for a first version of a codec.
22:21:40ioboundit really seems to depend on the tune
22:22:23ioboundalso, this is with default resampling/interpolation.

22:46:47perplexityIt was all they had at that pub that was drinkable on tap.. the only other alternative was Fosters and I'd rather drink cats urine.. (Which is in fact part of the Fosters brewing process I'm sure)
22:47:00preglowthe entire beer market in norway is based on lagers, so i tend to drink anything else when i can
22:47:23preglowperplexity: it is in fact fermented cat's urine
22:47:32preglowwith slight hopping

22:47:47perplexityI thought as much.. we take the finest tomcat, apply a light press and squeeze .....
22:48:06perplexityyou will never find an Australian with any taste that drinks that stuff
22:48:20ashridahperplexity: hahaha. i still can't believe the rest of the world takes our cat urine as a brand of beer.
22:48:27ashridahyou foreigners are crazy :)
22:48:31preglowi don't find stella that much better, but hey...
22:48:34perplexityI know.. it's called marketing :)
22:48:53ashridahno one, and i mean *no-one* ever drinks fosters here

22:49:00perplexityI find stella a little rough.. personally I'll go a Kilkenny if I have to drink beer, otherwise it's onto the scotch
22:49:08perplexityI know ashridah.. it's awful stuff
22:49:39ashridahkilkenny's more of an ale than a beer, isn't it?
22:49:56perplexityMore of a Stout actually.. I like beer and red wine that you have to eat with a fork
22:50:19perplexityWynns Coonawarra 1998 Cab Sav is also a fav of mine
22:50:21ashridahhmm. didn't seem strong enough to be a stout, ah well.
22:50:31preglowstouts are nice
22:50:33*ashridah shudders
22:50:44preglowbut you can't get much better than an ipa
22:50:46preglowi like my hops
22:51:55preglowi believe kilkenny is categorised as an irish red ale

22:52:02perplexityOk, just replaced my vorbis.codec with my ugly version.. it skips on stuff the other codec did not skip with, but it plays.. it sounds good and it has _no_ optimisation at all..
22:52:24preglowperplexity: point is that an ifft is easier to optimise than the imdct in vorbis now
22:52:40perplexityIndeed.. I think I just made a mess in my trousers..
22:52:55preglowa healthy sound of excitement, now go change
22:53:00preglows/sound/sign/
22:53:07preglowi suck
22:53:18perplexitylol.. time for this little black duck to go to bed.. but I can go to bed with a smile on my dial :)
22:53:30preglowdo that, good night
22:53:36perplexityta for the idea on that one preglow.. lets hope it pays off :0

22:59:40ioboundpreglow, should i send my patches somewhere (after cleanup)? the devel mailinglist, for example?
22:59:43ashridahIs it just me, or does saving a playlist not actually show up in the filesystem tree if you have directory cache on?
22:59:59ashridahat least, not immediately.
23:00
23:00:10ashridahiobound: there's a patch tracker on sourceforge
23:00:25ioboundok
23:00:37ashridahhttp://www.sourceforge.net/projects/rockbox
23:00:48ioboundright
23:01:20ioboundshould i just send a cvs diff -u? what about new and removed files? should i use regular diff? are there instructions somewhere?
23:02:20ashridahi remember someone telling me about a funky way to get cvs to allow you to 'add' new files even if you don't have commit access, but damned if i can remember what it is
23:03:09ashridahmight even have been Bagder
23:05:27ioboundunfortunately, i couldn't makefile myself out of a paper bag, so i've put almost all the code in one huge .c file
23:05:53ioboundwell, not that huge, 700 lines, but it would be nice to put the maths stuff in a separate file
23:06:25linuxstbYou could add it to libdumb itself
23:06:55ioboundand the malloc/realloc stuff
23:07:10ioboundi could, but these things would probably be nice to have for other plugins too
23:07:14***Saving seen data "./dancer.seen"
23:07:21ioboundmaybe they could go into a "nano-libc for plugins" thing
23:07:44preglowiobound: nah, please don't put it in a separate file, it'd be nice to not have to delete files when i/someone ports it to fixed point
23:07:59ioboundok then

23:11:00preglowwhat support functions do you currently have?
23:11:17 Part JonSenior
23:11:47hellsaviourI am on Mac OS X and a few days ago I loaded rockbox with a bootloaded firmware from Bger and then had to get the .rockbox folder and such onto my h340 on my PC, because OsX recognises it as a hidden folder. Well, just now I found a way of showing all the hidden files/folders on OsX so that mac user won't have to use a PC to update RB. Its listed here on this website: http://www.osxfaq.com/DailyTips/02-2005/02-01.w
23:11:57ioboundyou can see it here, http://starfall.rootservers.org:36000/rbx/dumbsupp.h and http://starfall.rootservers.org:36000/rbx/dumb.c
23:12:10hellsaviourI thought that the webmasters for RB.org might find this helpfull
23:13:02preglowiobound: dumb uses _DOUBLE_ floating point precision???
23:13:20ioboundi think so. at least it uses pow() and exp() and those work with doubles
23:13:24preglowdamn, small wonder it's slow
23:13:31preglowahh, right
23:13:33preglowof course
23:13:35preglowit doesn't use powf
23:13:48preglowwell, it might still just use floats
23:14:20ioboundthe implementation of exp() and stuff is pure voodoo it seems, full of strange magic hex constants and stuff
23:14:29preglowyeah, i'd expect so

23:50:59leftrighthmm, preglow, I went back a month and those builds also exhibited artifacts at the track transitions, but maybe my memory serves me incorrectly but I do remember gapless being more seamless
23:51:28preglowi did do a change relating to gapelss perhaps a month back
23:51:48preglowbut it shouldn't have affected it destructively, just made more files work
23:52:23leftrightI remember us all being ecstatic a while back that it was damn near perfect
23:53:06preglowwell, i have no time to fix it now
23:53:09leftrightnow its distracting
