#rockbox log for 2005-12-05

00:01:14 Nick ashridah is now known as Lost-ash (n=ashridah@69.55.227.55)
00:01:51amiconnyes
00:03:06FebsIs it worth my while to write documentation for len0x's recent patch?
00:03:21FebsOr do you think that you (or others) will change or revert it?
00:03:36amiconnI don't know. If it was just me, I would revert it immediately
00:03:52Bagderwhat patch?
00:03:57Bagderthe clipping thing?
00:04:02FebsYes.
00:04:05amiconnyes
00:04:43BagderI still wait for him to rever the wrapping integers
00:04:46Bagderrevert
00:05:09amiconnWrapping integers were introduced by TiMiD
00:05:16Bagderah, my mistake
00:05:31BagderI have no real opinion on the clipping thing, it has never bothered me
00:06:06amiconnIt's the option clutter that really annoys me, plus so much happening behind the scenes
00:06:20_FireFly_wrapping integers ?? what's that
00:06:21 Quit lostlogicx (Read error: 110 (Connection timed out))
00:06:23BagderI'm against option clutter as well
00:06:27*DrumRBoy320 says 'sorry for making it an issue'
00:06:31DrumRBoy320:)
00:06:35 Quit lostlogic (Read error: 110 (Connection timed out))
00:07:11amiconnI'm working on the volume % -> dB transition, with removed limting by the prescaler
00:07:12Bagder_FireFly_: when you move beyond max integer it wraps to 0
00:07:18Bagderand vice versa
00:07:33Bagderfor bass/treble/volume etc
00:08:04FebsYikes, that's a bad idea. I can see why you want it reverted.
00:08:15FebsIf I'm reducing the volume to zero, I don't want it to jump back to 100!
00:08:16amiconnThe prescaler thing was really trivial, just moving two lines of code...
00:08:27BagderFebs: yeps
00:08:29mirakFebs: I agree that's not good
00:08:37amiconnme too
00:08:53BBubamiconn: cant you just revert the other approach and add yours? :)
00:08:54_FireFly_Bagder: ah thanks
00:08:57amiconn(but by far less annoying than the clipping option thing)
00:09:14linuxstbBagder: I've found some problems with the new tools building system. If you create a build directory for the Archos Player or iPod (for example), type "make", then "make clean", then "make", then not all the required tools are compiled.
00:09:26linuxstbFor the Player, it's convbdf, for the iPod, it's scramble.
00:09:29amiconnBBub: Sure I could
00:09:41amiconnThe question is whether I should
00:09:47Bagderlinuxstb: player doesn't neec convbdf
00:09:58linuxstbBagder: It complains that it's not there.
00:10:10Bagderfor the sim?
00:10:33Bagderit just struck me it doesn't make any tools for the sim
00:10:34linuxstbI'm just checking again now...
00:10:45linuxstbNo, these are "normal" builds.
00:10:55Bagderok
00:11:06BagderI'll check it out
00:11:09amiconnBagder: While you are at the Makefiles, could you perhaps have a look at integrating the self-extractor?
00:11:20linuxstbYes, player builds complain when compiling sysfont.o
00:11:29*Febs decides not to work on documentation for the prevent clipping option.
00:11:48Bagderlinuxstb: ok, the player shouldn't need that
00:11:54FebsThere are some other things that need attention anyway, like documentation for crossfeed and crossfade.
00:11:56mirakit would be nice to have two bootloaders, one that default to rockbox, the other to the original firmware
00:12:04mirakjust to have the choice
00:12:10Bagderso make your own
00:12:11*amiconn wants crossfood ;)
00:12:25*Febs laughs out loud.
00:12:25linuxstbBagder: I thought Players had some custom characters - do they not use convbdf?
00:12:33Bagdernope
00:12:36mirakBagder: I am scared you know
00:12:38mirak:)
00:12:54BagderI know
00:13:25Bagderwe don't need a bootloader to load the original firmware, imho
00:13:52amiconnmirak: Why would you want that?
00:13:53mirakfor H300 that's not enough mature
00:13:59mirakimho
00:14:01Bagderso don't install it
00:14:05Bagderor help us fix it
00:14:08mirakBagder: comeon
00:14:12*amiconn was about to say the same
00:14:13mirakBagder: sure
00:14:38mirakdon't take that as an offence
00:14:48BagderI just find it a sorry attitude
00:14:56Bagderand you're hardly the first to suggest it
00:15:15mirakso what's the problem ?
00:15:22Bagderthere's no problem
00:15:40FebsMirak, what's the problem with simply pressing REC + ON?
00:15:45mirakok so let's say I asked nothing
00:16:14mirakFebs: there is no debate
00:16:38mirakit was just a suggestion ...
00:17:16MoosI never heard here any player die cause Rockbox ;)
00:18:09Mooslot of people are scaring for "nothing"
00:18:13mirakFebs: just that for now I see more rockbox as the second option. I am sure this will change
00:19:07Bagderit is specificly said to be for developers
00:19:29mirakI plan to develop
00:19:30XavierGrI think that the first bootloader fo the H100 was the other way around
00:19:32Bagderwhy would Rockbox h300 developers boot anything else?
00:19:35mirakthat's not the issue
00:19:42XavierGryou would have to press REC+ON to start Rockbox.
00:20:09Bagderstill, you're asking for just another load to put on someone else's shoulders
00:20:26Bagderthus, my opinion
00:20:37Moosneed to sleep here, good night all
00:20:46 Quit Moos ("Glory to Rockbox")
00:21:02mirakBagder: I would change it myself. Linus advise to not build our own bootloader
00:21:09mirakI think I will follow his advice
00:21:47BagderI know he says that
00:22:02Bagderbut then he doesn't provide any "reversed" options either
00:23:01Bagderamiconn: care to repeat to me how I builds a compressed image?
00:23:09Bagders/builds/build
00:23:20BBubmake zip
00:23:25BBubif you meant that
00:23:27amiconnFirst, the Makefile needs to be fixed to use the correct dirs
00:23:29Bagderhehe
00:23:48muesli_-who is hosting rockbox.org?
00:24:02Bagdermuesli_-: we do
00:24:03amiconnThen, building the .ajz will need rockbox.ucl as a prerequisite
00:24:48amiconnFinally, the rule for building the .ajz/.mod from the bin needs to be replaced by a script, which should do the following:
00:25:15amiconn- call scramble with rockbox.bin, and check the return code
00:25:28Bagderlinuxstb: fixed
00:25:33amiconn- if ok, then the script has done its work
00:26:21amiconn- if the return code says the firmware is too big:
00:26:26amiconn- call 'make' in firmware/decompressor
00:26:52amiconn- call scramble again, this time using 'compressed.bin' built in the last step
00:28:09amiconnThe Makefile in firmware/decompressor should do the majority of its work in <build_dir>/firmware/decompressor, but use <build_dir/rockbox.ucl as input
00:28:23amiconnCurrently it does all its work in the source dir
00:28:50amiconnI couldn't figure out how to use the make.inc magic :(
00:30:11Bagderok, I'll start working on it
00:30:17linuxstbBagder: You forgot to add scramble to the ipodbitmaptools. But I could do that.
00:30:20amiconnIt would be really good if someone with an unflashed (unflashable?) archos could test a compressed ajbrec.ajz
00:30:27Bagderlinuxstb: sorry, please do
00:30:38linuxstbnp
00:30:51amiconnI'm convinced that it will work, but it could be interesting to compare boot time with uncompressed vs. compressed

00:32:22_FireFly_Bagder: for the wrapping integers to stop is a simple change only needed
00:32:40BagderI'm sure
00:32:53_FireFly_gui/select.c:80 change from gui_select_limit_loop(select, false); to gui_select_limit_loop(select, true);
00:34:15amiconn_FireFly_: Does this prevent the wrap for numeric settings only?
00:34:33amiconnBecause, it makes sense to allow wrap for list-like settings
00:35:01_FireFly_not tested
00:35:28_FireFly_hmm it seams that this change it for all
00:36:01XavierGrcan someone please explain to me what this declaration means? int currentSample IDATA_ATTR;
00:36:35XavierGrit decalres an integer with the name currentSample but what's with the IDATA_ATTR extension?
00:36:38 Quit JonSenior ("using sirc version 2.211+KSIRC/1.3.10")
00:36:53BagderXavierGr: it puts the variable in the internal memory
00:37:22XavierGrfor faster access?
00:37:24Bagderyes
00:37:32amiconnYes. Apart from that, the declaration isn't 100% correct (anymore)
00:37:50amiconnIt should be int currentSample IBSS_ATTR;
00:38:02amiconn..because the variable isn't initialised
00:38:09_FireFly_amiconn: to have it only for integers two changes are needed
00:38:19XavierGrit will give better performance or...?
00:39:23_FireFly_remove the line gui/select.c:80 and change the line option_select.c:42 from opt->limit_loop=false; to opt->limit_loop=true;

00:52:19*amiconn now has a working volume setting in dB
00:52:23 Quit cwncool ("CGI:IRC (Ping timeout)")
00:52:32amiconnThere are 2 minor problems though.
00:53:11_FireFly_amiconn: have you got the needed changes to stop the wrap around for integer-options??
00:53:22amiconn(1) For archos recorders an Ondios, very low numeric values don't fit in the status bar space for the volume icon
00:53:23_FireFly_or should i make a patch
00:53:55amiconn(MAS3587 and MAS3539 go down to -115 dB which means 4 chars)
00:54:27amiconn(2) If an old .cfg file is loaded, it sets the volume way out of range.
00:55:04JdGordon_FireFly_: y stop wrap around of int options??? it just makes for a PITA :(
00:55:19linuxstbJdGordon: Can you test a build for me on your H300?
00:55:27JdGordonsure
00:55:33_FireFly_JdGordon: ??
00:55:36XavierGrwhat a PITA?

00:56:12JdGordon404
00:56:18linuxstbAs you can probably guess, it enables reading the date/time from the RTC (I hope).
00:56:31linuxstbSorry - http://www.davechapman.f2s.com/rockbox/rockbox-h300rtc.zip
00:57:37JdGordoncant find my reset button pusher :(

00:58:19JdGordonno, but ill set it correct
00:58:29JdGordonit likes to flash 00:00
00:58:31amiconnBlergh, why is the player wps broken??
00:58:35JdGordondone it twice already
00:58:56JdGordonhaha wed 2035 :D
00:59:19linuxstbThe time/date setting in Rockbox doesn't work - you'll need to set the date/time in the iriver firmware.
00:59:25JdGordonah ok
00:59:28linuxstbIt's read-only at the moment in Rockbox.
00:59:38_FireFly_have to go good night everybody
01:00
01:00:23LinusNlinuxstb: zip?
01:01:02linuxstbwhat zip?
01:01:15LinusNah, that wasn't the patch?
01:01:26linuxstbNo, just a binary to see if it worked.
01:02:25JdGordondoes the 1.29K fw not have the clock?

01:02:53JdGordonno, found it

01:10:45JdGordonlooks like it
01:11:06dropandhohey linus! just wanted to see how the tick pcb was commin along
01:11:28linuxstbAt least it doesn't seem to break the h300, so I'll probably commit it when I commit my related ipod changes (the ipod and h300 have similar RTCs)

01:30:49BBubpcm i guess
01:30:54LinusNXavierGr: yes, we feed it PCM data
01:31:53XavierGrso we could always redirect a xxx2wav plugin to transfer the wav data to the chip instead of a physical file right?
01:32:09LinusNin theory, yes
01:33:15XavierGrI am playing with the mid2wav plugin which needs the old xxx2wav files (god bless you that you kept it in the attic)
01:33:30LinusNhave fun
01:33:35XavierGrit is can playback more than realtime in 11025Hz sample rate

01:44:08amiconnIf I don't commit before the next daily build, the strings in englih.lang need to be deprecated properly.
01:44:23amiconnI just removed them in my patch
01:44:50*amiconn goes bug hunting
01:45:23amiconnThe default player wps doesn't display anything...
01:46:42LinusNouch
01:46:55amiconnYes
01:56:27amiconnLinusN: I've updated my patch (just 2 default values changed)
01:57:40LinusNyou removed all scaling
01:57:42LinusN?
01:58:11amiconnYou mean the options added today?
01:58:29LinusNyes, and the scaling we had before that
01:58:39amiconnYes and no
01:58:46amiconnI removed the options
01:59:45amiconnPrescaling is done to prevent clipping at lower volume, as long as it can be corrected by boosting the main volume
01:59:57amiconn...but prescaling no longer limits max volume
02:00
02:01:18amiconnIf prescaling would require to boost the main volume above the max, we used to limit the volume before. Now prescaling is reduced instead (with the possibility of clipping)
02:01:40LinusNbut no bass/treble scaling?
02:01:45amiconn??
02:02:15LinusNlowering bass/treble to prevent clipping at high volume
02:02:19amiconnAh, no
02:02:46amiconnThat was never an option for me as long as treble/bass use dB (which they should continue to use)
02:02:50LinusNi thought that was one of the points with the new scaling options
02:03:33amiconnAll these options contradict KISS
02:03:48amiconnEven before we had something happening behind the scenes.
02:04:33amiconnWith these options, much more is happening behind the scenes
02:04:49LinusNyes
02:04:51amiconnThe settings don't represent reality anymore
02:06:09amiconnBefore, only volume was wrong, and in a somewhat consistent way. Now all of volume, bass and treble can be wrong, and even in an unpredictable way if the option to adjust the non-current value(s) is select
02:06:11amiconn+ed
02:06:49LinusNi think i agree
02:07:16LinusNhow about the player, is it the same there?
02:07:34amiconnYes
02:07:53LinusNit used to scale the volume if the bass was raised, didn't it?
02:08:27amiconnYes. Before today, player and iriver were handled the same apart from the actual ranges
02:08:50amiconnWith my patch, both are handled the same again, apart from the actual ranges
02:09:07 Join YouCeyE [0] (n=YouCeyE@unaffiliated/youceye)
02:09:19LinusNwhich means that a volume > 0dB may clip
02:09:26amiconnyes
02:09:41LinusNand a volume <= 0dB will not
02:10:02YouCeyEis there fwpatcher.exe for linux?
02:10:05amiconnOne more (slight) difference is that volume on iriver goes -60 ... +24 dB with my patch, accounting for the max. bass boost of 24 dB
02:10:07LinusNYouCeyE: no
02:10:31YouCeyEhow do i go about setting up rockbox on linux for h120?
02:10:33amiconnOn the player, the maximum bass boost is 15 dB, yet the volume goes from -78 to +18 dB
02:11:06LinusNYouCeyE: you have to build and run the mkboot utility
02:11:09amiconn...and not -81 .. + 15 dB
02:11:22YouCeyELinusN, thanks.. any direct webpage help link?
02:11:30LinusNYouCeyE: you want to patch 1.66?
02:11:32 Join Rick [0] (i=rick@pool-71-108-9-40.lsanca.dsl-w.verizon.net)
02:11:34amiconnThe datasheet says the volume is specified as -78 .. +18 dB, so I just adhere to the datasheet here
02:11:41YouCeyE1.65 is also fine
02:11:43FebsSo if EQ is flat, the maximum volume will be 0dB? And then if bass boost is applied, the volume will display > 0 dB?
02:12:04LinusNYouCeyE: i can patch 1.66 for you
02:12:25amiconnFebs: No. The maximum volume on iriver is +24 dB with my patch, but values >0 dB *may* clip depending on the bass/treble boost
02:12:30YouCeyEonce i load rockbox bootloader, can i choose what firmware to use? similar to dual booting system either with windows/linux?
02:12:41YouCeyEgreat :) LinusN

02:13:03 Quit thegeek (Read error: 110 (Connection timed out))
02:13:34amiconnSince the probability of clipping also depends on the actual track, there is no point in making the 0 dB point slide (and it would confuse the user)

02:13:47LinusNYouCeyE: eu, us, kr or jp version of 1.66?
02:13:56YouCeyEus version please
02:14:12YouCeyEi dont know if there is any big difference except the language
02:14:59FebsSo if EQ is flat (i.e., no bass or treble boost), 24dB is equivalent to the current 100.
02:15:06amiconnyes
02:15:26FebsBut there is no possibility of clipping.
02:15:30amiconnyes
02:15:51LinusNYouCeyE: http://linus.haxx.se/youceye.zip
02:15:59YouCeyEthanks LinusN :)
02:16:22amiconnThere is also no possibility of clipping if you have volume at +24, bass at +24 and then play a track that doesn't contain bass
02:16:37YouCeyELinusN, can you please save the history of commands and pm me?
02:17:01LinusNYouCeyE: it's all in the IriverBoot wiki page
02:17:16LinusNin this case, i ran fwpatcher.exe with wine
02:17:34LinusNjust for the kick of it :-)
02:17:36FebsI understand that, but it's contrary to the accept convention for what 0dB represents. I think that this is the same point that preglow made the other day ...
02:17:42Febsaccept/accepted
02:18:40amiconnYes, it's debatable, but I think it makes a good indication for the possible clipping limit
02:19:20YouCeyEcool LinusN
02:20:19amiconnI could also define 0 dB to be the real maximum (simple), but then we don't have this nice indication...
02:20:36YouCeyEwhere can i dl tools for scrambling and descrambling.. is it in rockox dev kit?
02:20:51YouCeyEi have mkboot in ubuntu already
02:21:02LinusNYouCeyE: i don't know if they're in the devkit
02:21:07leftrighthmm, now that you have explained your "0" limit, it makes sense
02:21:11LinusNthey're in cvs
02:21:23LinusNi think it makes sense too
02:23:22webguest53amiconn: when i set the volume to 0 db and then set bass boost to +18, will the volume be 0db or change to 18 db?
02:23:43amiconnNo, it will stay at whatever value you set it
02:24:17amiconnIncreasing the bass boost will just do what the user expects - boost the bass
02:24:24leftrightgood, there's no trickery in the background
02:24:30amiconnExactly
02:25:04amiconnThe only 'trickery' is the (compensated) prescaling, but that's inaudible
02:25:09webguest53so 24 db (without bass boost) equals todays 100% ?
02:25:14amiconnyes
02:25:31*Febs has a sense of deja vu.

02:57:16YouCeyEIf you have the bootloader installed and your jukebox still boots into the iriver firmware, check to ensure that the rockbox.iriver file and .rockbox directory are both located in the ROOT of your jukebox.
02:57:26YouCeyEwhat is this rockbox.iriver file?
02:57:40linuxstbIt is the main Rockbox binary.
02:57:44YouCeyEi just installed bootloader and copied .rockbox to /media/ihp120
02:57:50YouCeyEstill noluck
02:58:01YouCeyEboots into iriver firmware
02:58:08linuxstbYou need to download a rockbox.zip file for the h120 and unzip it to /media/ihp120/
02:58:48linuxstbThe very latest version is always here: http://www.rockbox.org/auto/build-h120/rockbox.zip
02:59:06linuxstb(automatically rebuilt after every CVS commit)
02:59:32YouCeyEk..
02:59:45YouCeyEso basically i missed rockbox build files..
02:59:54YouCeyEi thought i didnt need to install them
03:00
03:00:49YouCeyEdo i need to copy .rockbox dir to /media/ihp120 or to /media/ihp120/root?
03:01:09linuxstbunzip -d /media/ihp120/ rockbox.zip
03:01:22YouCeyEthanks
03:01:22linuxstbThe rockbox.zip file contains both the .rockbox directory and rockbox.iriver
03:02:00YouCeyEmy bad..
03:02:07YouCeyEi unzipped in local dir
03:02:18YouCeyEand didnt see rockbox.iriver separately..
03:02:25linuxstbYes, that can be confusing.
03:04:19linuxstbSorry, the unzip command should be "unzip rockbox.zip -d /media/ihp120"
03:04:36YouCeyEi got it working now..
03:04:46YouCeyEjust got confused with rockbox.iriver file
03:04:48YouCeyEcool..
03:04:53YouCeyEhow can i change the theme?
03:05:43linuxstbThe "themes" are limited to the WPS (while playing screen). Press the A-B button to bring up the menu and then choose Browse Themes.
03:06:04linuxstbThere are lots of other options to configure if you want to play though - just explore the menus.
03:06:37linuxstbYou probably want to change the font - General Settings -> Display -> Browse Fonts

08:43:46FebsAh. Not being a programmer, that's a bit above me. But I'd be happy to test if you want to e-mail me the files I'd need to test it.

08:50:52amiconnpreglow: I have a patch that again removes the optionitis introduced yesterday, and replaces the volume setting with a dB scale, without capping
08:51:22preglowand what does it do to make everyone happy without an extra option?
08:51:39Bagderhaaha
08:51:56amiconnI started with my idea to set the 0 dB volume point 24 dB below maximum, to cater for the possible distortion with up to 24 dB of bass boost
08:51:59Bagderthese days we can't change anything and still keep everyone happy
08:52:30amiconn...but now I changed my mind and will set 0 dB to be the real maximum, like the UDA1380 datasheet defines it
08:53:11amiconnIn fact we did almost the same for a long time on the recorders and Ondios
08:54:28amiconnWhile the MAS3587 datasheet calls the real maximum +12 dB, even setting it to (12 - MAX(bass, treble)) doesn't guarantee a distortion-free signal
08:54:51preglowi think defining 0db to be anything but the maximum is ludicrous
08:55:11preglowbut ok
08:55:21amiconnWell, both the MAS3587/3539 and MAS3507+DAC3550 datasheets do so
08:55:54Bagderamiconn: try this => http://daniel.haxx.se/rockbox/compress.patch
08:56:06amiconnMAS3587/3539: max. is +12 dB, DAC3550: max is +18 dB
08:56:09Bagdershould build a compressed image
08:56:12amiconnThe UDA1380 datasheet says the maximum is 0 dB
08:56:14preglowyeah, but they might not be constructed like the uda, it might seem like the amplitude value affects the d/a in another way
08:56:46amiconnSo now I think it's best just to use the scale that the DAC defines. This ensures line level at 0 dB volume setting
08:56:54Bagderamiconn: it doesn't use a proper check so this builds a compressed image even though it fits uncompressed
08:58:41amiconnpreglow: The latest version of my patch will give you -84..0 dB on iriver
08:59:05preglowamiconn: and how does it handle eq?
08:59:17amiconn(-78..+18 dB on player, -115..+12 dB on all other SH1 archoses)
08:59:18preglowi assume no one around here has got a 56k assembler lying around?
09:00
09:01:07amiconnpreglow: In order to avoid distortion, it prescales the signal when treble and/or bass are boosted, but it compensates by boosting the main volume instead. If the main volume can't be boosted further, it reduces the prescaling instead (possibly causing distortion)

09:17:46Slasheriyes, it delays the track skipping
09:17:58Slasheriso the problem is probably with playlist_next blocking
09:18:36MrShleeDoes anyone know actually how many more cycles it takes to decode ogg then it does to decode mp3?
09:19:05SlasheriMrShlee: you can look at the cpu boost ratio
09:19:27amiconnpreglow (and others): Wanna try my volume patch: http://amiconn.dyndns.org/volume.diff
09:19:38MrShleeim looking at batt life more then anything.
09:19:47MrShleeif the cpu is idle/normal/boost
09:20:17MrShleeand cpu life is fairly static for each period.. Id like to monitor the difference.
09:20:44Slasheriamiconn: Hmm, it has volume in dB-scale?
09:21:55Slasheriand compared to a line level signal?
09:22:01Slasherithat looks really good

09:29:20amiconnpreglow, Slasheri: The patch currently has one drawback (that was also there before but usually didn't hit) - if a .cfg file contains an out-of-range volume: setting, funny effects may happen

09:29:54amiconn(that was also there before)
09:30:37_FireFly_amiconn why does the cfg-loader doesn't check if the settings are valid ?
09:31:38MembrilloJungti1234: whatever rocks your boat :) I like the battery time left on mine, but yours is more simple, and that might be what you want
09:31:40amiconnThat's another story...
09:32:38amiconnThis will have to change, definitely, if we want to switch to a .cfg file for standard settings
09:33:28Jungti1234:) Yes. It was going to do analogously with iPod.
09:39:28Slasheri.cfg file is a good idea as long as the loading is fast
09:40:04amiconnYes, it has several advantages over the config sector

10:05:46Jungti1234hehe
10:09:52Bagderwell, it seems rockbox runs out of battery a lot faster than the original on the h3x0
10:10:05Bagderand there is a reason for that
10:10:20Bagderperhaps that reason helps making the unit slightly warmer
10:16:34preglowweird for a unit that's so close to h1x0 in design

10:40:03XavierGramiconn: What if the user sets the bass to maximum and volume to maximum as well? Won't this reproduce clipping?
10:40:18preglowit will possibly clip, yes
10:40:34preglowwith bass on +24db, it will most certainly clip
10:40:59XavierGrIf it clips we will have users running here that Rockbox sounds like "crap" (remember the other thread?) and it clips while iriver fw is nice.
10:41:14XavierGrBecause of their ignorance they are going to blame rockbox
10:41:31preglowand because of their ignorance, i am going to ignore them
10:41:39preglowsomeone put up a faq or seomthing
10:41:51MrShleeXavierGr.. you CAN blame Rockbox, its in alpha and made line by line..
10:42:05MrShleethe rockbox might have problems but they WILL get fixed
10:42:10MrShleethats the difference.
10:42:11XavierGrYes but it will be a bad hit for no reason.
10:42:27preglowXavierGr: i believe in giving the users who know what they're doing the tools to do so
10:42:33XavierGrMrShlee: I think you missed the point
10:42:37Bagderthe clueless masses will remain clueless to the end of time
10:42:41preglowXavierGr: i wont limit rockbox because some people don't care to find out how stuff works
10:43:20XavierGrstill an option to cap the bass seems nice for the ignorant masses. I don't care because I never use eq.
10:43:29preglowit's not like rockbox was started to win a popularity contest anyway
10:43:31MrShleeI personally think sound quality is better. the volume gain is less and it sometimes skips
10:43:37MrShleeyou lose some you win some.
10:45:44XavierGrpreglow: Some had other opinion on this as I can remember. Some said that they want Rockbox more user friendly and idiot proof. Again I just say that an option is better for the newbies, either way I know that Rockbox will be better.

10:46:19Bagdermarkun: I committed a fix for the sed case in configure
10:46:28markunAh, thanks!
10:46:43preglowXavierGr: an option isn't better for the newbies, an option is never better for the newbies
10:46:54preglowan idiotproof default is better for newbies
10:47:15preglowand i don't want rockbox to end up idiotproof
10:47:21preglowit'll probably suck for people who know they're doing, then
10:47:29XavierGrwell you right you said it.
10:47:41XavierGr^you are right

10:52:10Jungti1234hehe
10:52:11preglowlinuxstb: agreed
10:52:31XavierGrmarkun: how the porting on the Gigabeat is going?
10:52:36preglowlinuxstb: i'll try to some ipod coding later, btw
10:52:38linuxstbpreglow: Will your ipod button driver need to communicate via i2c from an interrupt?
10:52:45preglowlinuxstb: very probably
10:53:08linuxstbSo we'll have the same problem as the H300 when reading the RTC.
10:53:22preglowrtc is connected via i2c?
10:53:36preglowi thought it was just a couple of plain registers mapped somewhere in memory
10:53:46linuxstbYes - it's on the pcf50605 PMU
10:54:05linuxstbThe H300 has a pcf50606 (they are almost identical)
10:54:15preglowthen hooray
10:54:44preglowbut yeah, we access the rtc like an ordinary register in ipodrockbox right now
10:54:52preglowor is there some i2c secrecy hiding behind it?
10:54:57linuxstbThat's a different rtc...
10:55:03preglowoh, there are several
10:55:04preglownice
10:55:25linuxstbIt's not really an rtc - the one we read now is equivalent to Rockbox's current_tick variable.
10:55:35linuxstbi.e. it's reset to zero when you reboot.
10:55:39preglowriiight
10:55:47preglowcalling it an rtc is a bit... weird then
10:56:17markunXavierGr: not much progress. I was trying to make a cross-compiler to make ARM Linux binaries from FreeBSD, but I want to make sure I use the same glibc, gcc and linux versions as they did.
10:56:17linuxstbYes - but that's how IPL refers to that register.
11:00
11:00:49preglowbut anywho, i'll see if i can't get some general interrupt handler code going afterwards
11:00:57preglowthe code i have now deals only with the tick timer
11:03:36XavierGrmarkun did you saw jlo's post about crosfeed adjustments? Seems that he knows about that stuff.
11:06:16preglowyes he does
11:06:17markunI read it now, but one thing can't be right. By changing -0.2 to +0.3 it is not longer a hight pass filter, but a low pass filter.
11:06:31preglowthat filter needs to go anyway :-)
11:06:35markunyes :)
11:07:20XavierGrso is it possible to have crossfeed without volume loss?
11:07:27Bagdermarkun: try crosstool, neat little thing for cross compiler build for linux
11:07:40Bagderfor anything really
11:08:07markunIt would maybe be better to just leave out the high-pass filter, instead of changing it to a low-pass one
11:08:12linuxstbpreglow: Linus's suggestions for reading the RTC were either to disable interrupts during the read, or to read the RTC from an interrupt.
11:09:07preglowmarkun: he does suggest leaving out hrtf compensation
11:09:38***Saving seen data "./dancer.seen"
11:13:37preglowmarkun: his highpass has the same cutoff as the lowpass, it seems
11:13:44preglowthat makes the code even faster, so i hope that's the case :)

11:21:26amiconnpreglow: One point that convinced me to allow clipping is that we do exactly this on the recorder for years. No-one really complained, there was just the occasional 'why does it do this'? question
11:22:04amiconnThen we explained that 0 dB equals 92 %, and going higher might cause clipping
11:22:27amiconn(even without bass boost that is)
11:22:48amiconnWe should just make an appropriate FAQ entry

11:30:55XavierGrwhy would someone wants to playback with a sample rate over 44.1Khz?
11:31:05XavierGra signal must be sampled at over twice the bandwidth of the desired signal. For instance, to reproduce signals in all the audible spectrum, which includes frequencies of up to 20 kHz, it is necesary to use DACs that operate at over 40 kHz.
11:34:42preglowwhich they do
11:34:46linuxstbXavierGr: I'm not sure what you're asking. I have lots of 48KHz files which mainly come from digital TV/Radio broadcasts.
11:35:04preglowtodays dacs operate at well above a megahertz
11:35:19preglowwith a somewhat reduced bit depth, heh
11:35:41XavierGrMy question is why use more than 44.1 if the audio spectrum is between 20Hz-20Khz?
11:36:20preglowyou're trying to explain it scientifically, so you're bound to get nowhere
11:36:27XavierGrwhat's the point? You will get bigger filesize and no better quality
11:36:43preglowthe people who claim they need 96khz aren't exactly trying to be objective about it
11:37:41XavierGrHa! So there are people that declare they can say the difference between 96Khz music and 44.1 khz?
11:38:23preglowyes
11:38:29preglowand i believe a number have in blind tests as well
11:38:37preglowbut again, there are a lot of factors
11:38:40XavierGrany blind tests?
11:38:53preglowand it's not _impossible_ to hear frequencies above 20khz either
11:38:59preglowi can myself, but i don't hear them as such
11:39:05Zagorscientifically, it's not so strange actually. consider a 20kHz sine and square wave. at 40k sample rate, they will look the same.
11:39:05preglowit's more a strange sensation in the ear

11:39:24XavierGrwell how long beyond that? maybe 22Khz, more?

11:41:06Jungti1234By the way, a person who make the patch is fine.
11:41:13preglowsure, but his patch isnt
11:41:13preglowheh
11:41:25XavierGrJungti1234: If you just want to compile and don't care about that plugin (rockblox) type make -k to see if you get more errors
11:41:30Zagorpreglow: yeah, well they will both be a sawtooth wave (and sound like it). obviously, with a couple more samples per wave the difference can be recorded.
11:41:44preglowZagor: hell no, they'll both be sines
11:41:51Jungti1234ok
11:42:33preglowat that frequency it's more or less down to luck what they'll look like anyway, but they should both be sines
11:42:34merbananXavierGr: with higher sf you dont need so sharp cutoff filter at sf/2
11:42:37preglowbut now: lunch
11:42:44Zagorpreglow: sines require post-processing, doesn't it?
11:42:53XavierGrwell, what's the sample rate in human ear after all? It must be a cap there too, right? ;p
11:43:29BBublol
11:43:42BBubthe cap is actually at about 20 khz
11:43:50BBuband its lower when you're older
11:44:27XavierGrBBub samplerate is different from audio spectrum
11:44:38BBubi know
11:44:48BBubyou gotta go at least twice as high
11:45:25XavierGrThat's what I read, but some claim that sample rate must be higher than double.
11:45:51XavierGrAnd here I ask. Which is the internal samplerate of human ear.
11:46:09BBubthen it would be about 40 kHz
11:46:21ZagorXavierGr: the human ear is analog
11:46:37BBubbut a 60 year old man might still "sample" at 36 kHz
11:46:57 Quit KN|stiff (Read error: 104 (Connection reset by peer))
11:46:59XavierGrZagor: But it will have a samplerate even if analog.
11:46:59cannardi was just thinking that, its no like the brain can only processes in cycles
11:47:04Zagor40kHz is enough to produce sound at 20kHz. but not enough to reproduce *any* sound at 20kHz
11:47:06XavierGrIt is like the eye.
11:47:14BBubXavierGr: the human ear doesnt sample
11:47:20XavierGrHuman eye can't see more frames than a set number.
11:47:37BBubit has little hairs for every frequency
11:47:41ZagorXavierGr: it's not that simple
11:47:43Jungti1234hey XavierGr
11:47:52BBuband from that it measures the intensity
11:47:58Jungti1234Also, error happens.
11:48:50XavierGrWell the brain processes the hearing so it must devide it into samples, no?
11:48:55Zagorno
11:48:58BBubnope
11:49:04Zagorthe brain is not a digital computer
11:49:23Zagorif we heard samples, mp3 compression would not work
11:49:35XavierGrBut that's the way with th ears. AFAIK

11:49:49Jungti1234XavierGr?
11:50:09XavierGrJungti: What you want to do?
11:50:17BBubwell, your eyes dont even see a whole picture
11:50:20Jungti1234Error happens why.
11:50:38BBubyou can only see a small spot and your brain completes the scenery
11:50:50XavierGrJungti: compile the rockblox plugin with the patch or just compile the code?

11:52:06XavierGrJungti: that you made? Or that you applied?
11:52:15merbananXavierGr: well there is one such limit also
11:52:20BBubthe eye has a maximum resolution
11:52:35Zagorlunch
11:52:35merbananbased on the properties of the eye
11:52:47XavierGrso eyes have a samplerate and resolution but not ears?
11:53:14Jungti1234I applied it.
11:53:31merbananonly resolution can be derived from the eyes fysical aspect
11:53:55XavierGrJungti: I cannot help then. If it is a patch it means that it is out of date.
11:54:00preglowZagor: how requires post-processing?
11:54:28XavierGrYou can go to the line that the error occured (in the file) and see fo yourself if you can fix it.
11:54:32preglowears have bandwidth, not sample rate

11:58:21amiconn(2) It says 'LD rockbox.elf' where it should say 'LD compressed.elf'
11:58:56amiconn(3) When compiling uclimage.c, it shows the full path instead of just the filename

12:18:16Zak1392hey
12:18:33Zak1392anybody know what crossfeed is?
12:18:34Jungti1234hi
12:18:45cannardyes
12:18:58Zak1392what is it?
12:19:47cannardit mixes a tiny bit of left/right channel to the right/left channel, to simulate listening with speakers
12:19:50cannardinstead of headphones
12:20:13cannardsome people dont like that wierd headphone feel when there heavy panning in songs
12:20:51Membrillowhen installing a new version of rockbox, is it ok to just overwrite the old version? or should you delete the old and put the new one in?
12:21:04Lost-ashcannard: when done right, it can also move audio from inside your head to infront of you.
12:21:18Lost-ashof course, there doesn't seem to be a minute delay in rockbox's crossfeed afaict
12:21:27cannardharder to do with ety's i would say :p
12:21:30Jungti1234it is ok to just overwrite the old version
12:21:36Membrilloawesome

12:21:49markun13 samples
12:21:57Lost-ashMembrillo: i always just unpack over the top. rockbox deliberately forgets the settings when someone bumps the version

12:53:21SlasheriHmm, it seems that tagcache becomes a reality :) But at first it will be available only in wps and in future for browsing too
12:53:43SlasheriZak1392: Hmm, not quite fan that much but i like it ;)
12:54:40Zak1392i'm listening to their live cd Tokyo Warhearts on my h340 and it sounds amazing gapless :)

12:58:31SlasheriZak1392: i like the most industrial/gothic genre but some metal bands like that children of bodom are not bad either :)C
12:58:39XavierGrSlasheri: What is tagcache?
12:58:42Slasherilinuxstb: yep, no pc is needed for that
12:59:00Slasheriit uses the same idea as dircache: do as much on background as you can
12:59:03linuxstbDoes it use the code in get_metadata() to read the tags?
12:59:10Slasheriyes
12:59:23Slasherii already have a working cache initialization routines
12:59:23linuxstbCool. So it obviously supports every file format that Rockbox does.
12:59:32Slasheriit takes about 5-10min. to build the cache
12:59:37linuxstb(unlike songdb)
12:59:38Slasheri(10 min. with music playing on background)
12:59:42Slasheriyes
13:00
13:00:03XavierGra database biult on the go?
13:00:19Slasheriand in future when browsing support is added, it is possible to browse the cache file on disk before it's loaded into ram completly
13:00:26linuxstbWhy does it take so long to build?
13:00:46SlasheriXavierGr: yep, and it's then loaded into ram
13:00:58Slasherilinuxstb: reading metadata from >5000 songs takes some time.. :)
13:01:03ZagorSlasheri: why not expand the existing database rather than build a new?
13:01:08Slasheriand it seeks disk a lot
13:01:13XavierGrthe whole tag database to ram?
13:01:30XavierGrhow big?
13:01:30SlasheriZagor: i have tried thinking that too, but it would be hard to do
13:01:38XavierGrin size?
13:01:42Zagorwhy?
13:02:03SlasheriZagor: tagdb is not designed to be loaded into ram, and i couldn't even get it working so i could have tried it..
13:02:18SlasheriXavierGr: i have not an idea yet, but it seems to be smaller than the dircache
13:02:34ZagorSlasheri: the solution is not to reinvent the wheel again...
13:02:38Bagderit depend how much tags you have of course
13:02:44SlasheriZagor: yes, that's true..
13:02:47BagderI fail to see how it can be smaller than the dir cache
13:02:52Bagderif all files are tagged
13:02:56Bagderand you have mostly music
13:03:07XavierGrSlasheri: Your multicrafts always amaze me!
13:03:31SlasheriBagder: currently the tagcache file (with _full_ filenames) was ~500 KiB and dircache 450 KiB. But, when tagcache is on ram, it doesn't have the filenames at all (only pointers to the dircache)
13:03:39Slasheriso it must be smaller (at least with my files)
13:03:48Bagderbut the tags are longer than the file name
13:03:54Bagderat least in my files
13:04:06Bagderof course it depends on what tags you keep
13:04:16Slasheriyep, that's weird indeed.
13:04:33Zagor50KB tags for 5000 files is 10 bytes per file. not many tags in your music... :-)
13:04:44SlasheriBut i will know better when i get the ram loading work
13:04:53XavierGrIt can easily climb to 1MB for a full player.
13:05:07Slasherihehe, true. Might be some bugs :)
13:05:36BagderI have full tagging on my 6000+ files
13:05:45Bagderit should be way over 30 bytes per file
13:05:52Slasheriin fact that doesn't make sense at all.. with full filenames, the tag file should have been much bigger
13:05:57Slasheriso there must be a bug
13:06:00Bagderthat's 180K
13:06:05XavierGrBagder then take the patch and test it.
13:06:14Bagder*shrug*
13:06:22BagderI don't use those things
13:06:41BagderI probably use a smaller portion of Rockbox than most users ;-)

13:06:49*amiconn does like the idea, but not the implementation
13:07:01amiconnMore code diversity...
13:07:26Bagderin fact, I've been ponder if throwing out the current db related stuff would be good or bad
13:07:30Bagderpondering
13:07:50BagderI think it blocks development as it is right now
13:08:00Bagderits there, so no one writes anything new
13:08:10Bagderbut its so broken and hard to use so hardly anyone uses it
13:08:17linuxstbI agree. As it seems to be mostly abandoned and not well understood, I don't see a problem in throwing it out.
13:08:39amiconnImho it's not broken
13:08:49amiconnIt works and is usable
13:08:52Zagorit was very simple and easy to understand when I wrote it...
13:08:56Bagderit has numerous bugs
13:09:11amiconnIt's certainly not the best solution, agreed on that
13:09:13BagderZagor: yes, but someone altered that...
13:09:42***Saving seen data "./dancer.seen"
13:09:47amiconnBagder: The only real bug I know about is the minute-long playlist building when selecting somethin in the song list
13:09:56*preglow never used the db
13:10:11amiconnOther than that, there are some not-yet-completed features
13:10:14Bagderwell, I've not even tried to research the reported bugs, perhaps they're all moot
13:10:25Zagormy whole purpose in writing the thing was to set the tone and direction for the simple "rockbox style" design.
13:10:32Slasheriwhen i tried enabling the tagdb, my player crashed immediately without any message in logf..
13:10:38Zagorso those interested in it could continue to build on it
13:10:39XavierGrfucking allergies. I've been snezzing for half an hour!!!
13:11:11Zagormaybe I was naive
13:11:18Bagderwell
13:11:36Bagderlet's say that HCl and I had different views on how to do things
13:11:42Zagor...and now I've been inactive for too long to be able to complain :-)
13:11:42Bagderand I didn't care to resist all the way
13:11:55amiconnZagor: I agree that the KISS principle is a bit disregarded lately, which I don't like as well
13:12:16BagderI've been meaning to re-implement the db one day
13:12:26ZagorBagder: just go back a bit in cvs ;)
13:12:33Bagderyeah
13:12:34preglowcome on, let's just adopt itunesdb!!11
13:12:40Bagderhaha
13:13:11Slasherii think that implementing api to the db (for retrieving data) would be a good thing, now most of the could would need to be rewritten for the ram version..
13:13:11amiconnThis is one reason why I made the volume patch that removes the limiting options again, which are imho overkill
13:13:25Bagderamiconn: I'm with you on that
13:13:34XavierGrspeaking of it, do the daily biuld reach back to the firsts builds when rockbox started?
13:13:42ZagorSlasheri: you're missing the point. having two versions is total waste.
13:13:49BagderXavierGr: certainly not
13:14:00BagderXavierGr: we only keep some 30 days or so
13:14:23XavierGrI thought so..
13:15:03Bagderbut everything is in CVS so you can easily reproduce any at will
13:15:19Bagderfromd day 1
13:15:25Bagderat least day 1 in CVS
13:15:33Zagorif we only write new code and never stop to think of purpose and coherence, we'll end up with a multi-MLOC chaos before long
13:17:25*amiconn fully agrees
13:19:07preglowmloc?

13:22:20*Bagder transfers lots of data
13:22:32ZagorBagder: how many connections are you up to now?
13:22:32Bagderuseless data
13:22:45BagderI'm still measuring the current implementation
13:22:55BagderI'm a bit amazed of its speed ;-)
13:23:02BagderSummary from 500 simultanoues transfers:
13:23:07Bagder390 out of 500 connections provided data
13:23:14Bagder29863 calls to curl_multi_perform(), average 148 alive. Average time: 700us
13:23:35BagderAverage number of readable connections per select() return: 120
13:23:52Bagder700us is not a lot of time
13:24:09linuxstbI've never used the tagdb, but what can that do that can't be done by automatically building lots of playlists and putting them in a directory structure such as Artist/Album/Genre/Year etc ?
13:24:14Slasheriin fact, i think the new tagdb could work on archos too without dircache (and without loading itself to the ram). But i can't promise yet without testing the performance..
13:26:34Zagorlinuxstb: search

15:16:34amiconn_Bagder: One or two months ago I used curl, for the first time, to test something
15:18:02amiconn_It took me a while to figure out what was going wrong. Imho curl should output the http status when doing a http transfer and something went wrong
15:18:41Bagderwell, in curl's view, a non-200 HTTP code is not wrong
15:18:56amiconn_The code was 501
15:19:00Bagderstill
15:19:09Bagderyou asked for it, you got it
15:19:12amiconn_...and I would have expected at least some message
15:19:26 Quit amiconn (Read error: 110 (Connection timed out))
15:19:27 Nick amiconn_ is now known as amiconn (n=jens@p54BD559D.dip.t-dialin.net)
15:19:33amiconn(warning, whatever)
15:21:04BagderI understand your point, but curl is more low-level than so
15:21:26Bagderit does have an option if you want errors on http errors
15:22:56amiconnI don't want errors on http errors, but not displaying any hint for a non-200 http status seems a bit strange to me
15:23:06amiconn(unless silent operation is requested)
15:23:26Bagderwell, curl gets the HTTP you asked for, and you got HTTP back successfully
15:23:55amiconnNo, I didn't.
15:24:17Bagderif you didn't get HTTP back, then were was the status code?
15:24:20Bagderwhere
15:24:38amiconn501 means 'Not implemented', and I don't count this as a successful transfer
15:24:48Bagderthe HTTP transfer was successful
15:24:54Bagderthe server-side request was not
15:25:38amiconnNitpicking? ;) Yes, the *request* wasn't successful
15:25:45Bagderit is far from nitpick to me
15:25:49Bagderit is the essence of curl
15:26:01Bagderit does HTTP
15:26:09Bagdergetting a 501 back is not a HTTP failure
15:26:27Bagderit is perfectly fine HTTP
15:26:45amiconnOf course not, but afaiu curl is for transferring data to and from URLs
15:26:58preglowyou did transfer data, heh
15:27:11amiconnYes, but not successful, that's my point
15:27:13Bagdersure, if you use it as a kind of browser on the command line, you might feel a lack of such extras
15:27:16preglowit was successful
15:27:25preglowfrom curls point of view
15:27:58amiconnpreglow: If I request a resource, and only get back a status telling me it can't fulfill the request, that's definitely not successful afaics
15:28:10Bagderit depends on what you wanted
15:28:17Bagderlots of people use curl to stress test
15:28:23Bagderthey _want_ the 501 back
15:28:30 Join massiveH [0] (n=42c0680a@labb.contactor.se)
15:29:38amiconnBagder: If so, I can imagine curl should still tell what status it got back
15:29:50Bagderyou can make it
15:30:02BagderI mean, with options
15:31:35 Part massiveH
15:33:16amiconnI couldn't find such an option... and since the is the -f option to silence HTTP error output, I somehow expected that it would show errors by default
15:33:49amiconn(also -s for silent operation)
15:33:53Bagderyes it does, it just doesn't consider a HTTP 501 response an error ;-)
15:34:16markunamiconn: http://130.89.160.166/rockbox/unicode4.diff
15:34:35amiconnSo what option should I use to see 50x status codes?
15:35:06Bagderamiconn: I'd say either you'd use -i to get all the headers, or you'd use -w to get the specific code
15:35:43amiconnBtw, afaiu I understand http, 4xx codes mean 'client error', 5xx codes mean 'server error'. Both are errors...
15:36:10Bagderbut you don't seem to understand curl's part in all this
15:36:13Bagderor how I see its part
15:37:07Bagderit is on purpose
15:37:29amiconnI wasn't looking for a specific code, I was investigating what was going wrong. The correct code would have been 201 as I was testing HTTP PUT
15:37:52Bagderbut then you should've checked the server's response headers
15:38:53amiconnYes of course. Somehow I expected curl to display whether something went wrong (informative, without stopping the operation)
15:39:36amiconnThe way curl worked somewhat reminded me of how internet explorer would do it...
15:40:11BagderI disagree, on both
15:42:44markunBagder: Is your compressed.patch finished?
15:43:01Bagderhttp://daniel.haxx.se/rockbox/compress-2.patch
15:43:08BagderI think it works as supposed

15:43:37markunWe could have unicode rockbox tonight :)
15:43:54markunIf amiconn has no problem with it
15:44:22linuxstbmarkun: Will developers have to do anything differently after your Unicode patch is applied?
15:44:37 Quit Sandking ()
15:45:15markunyes, I made a utf8length function which should be used instead of strlen in some cases
15:45:26markunMaybe it should be renamed to something more posix
15:45:49linuxstbSo utf8length returns number of characters, and strlen still returns the number of bytes?
15:45:55markunyep
15:46:34markunAnd all strings internally should be utf-8 encoded
15:47:20linuxstbSo does that mean we should use utf8 encoding for the Rockbox source files?
15:47:43linuxstbIIUC the current standard is iso-8859-1
15:48:07markunIt doesn't matter if there are no hardcoded strings
15:48:55amiconnAll .lang files needs to be utf-8
15:48:57markunBut to edit language files you will need a unicode editor anyway, so we could also have utf-8 as standard encoding
15:48:57linuxstbPlugins have hardcoded strings (at the moment). But I would expect them all to be in English and plain ASCII.
15:49:41markunamiconn: Did you try unicode with compress-2.patch?
15:49:47Bagderwcslen() seems to be the commonly used name
15:50:14amiconnmarkun: unicode4.diff has problems.

15:50:43markunI thought I changed that..
15:51:34linuxstbBagder: Isn't that for wide characters, rather than utf8 ?
15:52:20Bagderum, perhaps
15:52:30BagderI'm really lost when it comes to unicode...

15:54:28preglowit is
15:54:42preglowalmost nothing uses utf8 internally, so you might as well just call it itf8length
15:54:48preglowutf8length, yes
15:55:35linuxstbThere is also the wcswidth() function (for wide chars) that tells you how many terminal columns that string will occupy - which is different to the number of characters...
15:56:30preglowthings can get really hairy if you really want to dive into unicode
15:57:07linuxstbI can't find any POSIX functions for operating on utf8 though.

16:02:30linuxstbI mean a string consisting of the decoded utf8.
16:02:54preglowhe only uses utf8, i believe
16:03:07preglowwhich isn't such a big case for us, since we really don't do much string processing
16:03:43chendo__does rockbox do unicode filenames yet?
16:03:44markunwell, we use a decoded string for the bidi code before printing it

16:45:35FebsI've made some updates to the Main Menu page of the WikiManual: http://www.rockbox.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/ManualMainMenu#Prevent_clipping_iriver_jukeboxe
16:45:51Febsincluding addition of sections for Prevent Clipping, Crossfeed, and Crossfade.
16:46:31FebsSlasheri, if you could either fill in the options chart for crossfade or give me a 2 sentence reminder of what the various functions do, I'd appreciate it.
16:47:33FebsI also changed the "move to next folder" option to "auto change directory" to be consistent with what the option is now actually called ... although I think that "auto change directory" is much less intuitive than "move to next folder."
16:48:14FebsThe "prevent clipping" section contains a disclaimer that the option is still under discussion and may change.
16:49:47amiconnOkay, compressed unicode rockbox seems to be built correctly. I'll test the binary tonight
16:51:41_FireFly_amiconn: http://home.arcor.de/s.wezel/wrap-int-fix.patch
16:52:15SlasheriFebs: hi, the options are: Enable crossfade: always - enables crossfader for all track changes and new track selection, shuffle - enables crossfading only when shuffle mode is activated, off - no crossfading. Fade in/out delay: How many seconds to wait before starting fading the stream (these options will change to a new name in future). Fade in/out duration: How many seconds the fading should take for the selected stream. If duration is 0, there is no ...
16:52:21Slasheri... fading at all (still delay settings have the effect). Fade out style: crossfade - normal crossfading, mix - fade out duration will only mix the stream to be faded out without fading it

16:53:58leftrightFebs, there's feature missing from the Replay Gain type option on the wiki, which is "Track gain if shuffling"
16:54:11amiconnSlasheri: With the 'fade offset' idea, you would both save one delay setting and the style setting
16:54:24FebsSlasheri, got it, thanks. Will update the wiki in a few minutes.
16:54:57Slasheriamiconn: one style setting, how?
16:55:03Febsleftright, I haven't yet used replaygain, so I need to work with it before I can update the wiki. Feel free to add it yourself in the interim.
16:55:19FebsAs Linus would say, it *is* a wiki, after all. :)
16:55:32leftrightI would if I knew how, Febs, I tend to break things
16:55:36Slasheriamiconn: i will add that offset, but there is much more fixes to the crossfade that probably should be done before that
16:57:28FebsSlasheri, is there any difference between Fade out style = mix and fade-out duration=0?
16:57:41amiconnSlasheri: Iiuc the style means whether both streams are faded at the same time, or if the second stream is faded in while the first remains constant, then the first stream is faded out while the second one is already playing at full level
16:58:00amiconnAll these things are possible with just 3 delay settings

17:00:06*leftright goes to look for a wiki tutorial
17:00:40Febsleftright, if you click "edit" on any wiki page, it will provide you with links to wiki formatting references.
17:02:37Slasheriamiconn: Eh, interesting.. It seems you are correct, there is no need for the mixmode at all :)
17:02:59Slasherisetting fade out duration to 0, should do the same thing
17:03:15Slasherii don't know what was the idea adding it..
17:03:26Slasheriamiconn: oh, in fact there is..
17:03:42Slasherifade out duration sets the crossfade buffer length
17:03:53Slasheriso that style setting is necessary
17:04:09amiconnImho it's not
17:04:26Slasheriso setting fade out duration to 0, will not mix the songs
17:04:51Slasherimixing both streams without fading is not possible without that setting
17:05:13amiconnThe crossfade buffer length should be fade_in_delay + crossfade_offset + fade_out_delay if crossfade_offset is positive,
17:05:51Slasheriamiconn: with crossfade offset, there is no need for fade in/out delay..
17:06:14Slasheriit's just |crossfade_offset| + fade_out_delay
17:06:17amiconnand MAX(MAX(fade_in_delay, fade_out_delay), crossfade_offset) if crossfade_offset is negative
17:06:59Slasherioh, i mean |crossfade_offset| + fade_out_duration
17:07:10amiconnHmm, it seems I should draw a little image of how I imagine it could (should) work
17:07:26SlasheriHmm, probably that would help :)
17:07:36amiconnErm, replace fade_*_delay im my descriptions with fade_*_duration

17:08:23amiconnIt doesn't?
17:08:25Slasherino
17:08:35Slasherionly fade out buffer is required

17:10:43Slasheriyes, it saves some buffer space and is not too complicated :)
17:10:51leftrightok, so I've make a change to the wiki, how do I exit and save changes ?
17:10:55amiconnI don't think it saves buffer space
17:11:26Slasheriamiconn: it there is fade_in_delay (the offset) or fade_in_duration is longer, then all that space is saved
17:11:48Slasheri(in fact that is the after crossfade fading)

17:12:46linuxstbleftright: Click on Preview, and then if you are happy, click on save (and tick the "Release edit lock" checkbox)
17:15:22leftrightI assum that the gain mode last used is the mode that is reverted to if shuffle is deslected ?
17:17:38*leftright looks around the room
17:17:47Febsleftright, just looking at the replaygain menus, it seems to me that the only way to deselect "track gain if shuffled" is to select either "album gain" or "track gain."
17:18:13leftrightor deselect shuffle
17:18:25FebsAh, I see your point.
17:18:49FebsIn that case, it seems that "track gain if shuffled" implies that it is album gain otherwise.
17:18:58webguest95amiconn: i like the idea of having only 3 crosfade settings, but i have a question: wouldn't a positive value of crossfade_offset mean that there is an additional gap inserted?
17:19:10leftrightthats what I'm assuming as well Febs
17:19:45amiconnwebguest95: No.
17:20:06leftrightanyway my first wiki addition ever is done,
17:20:14amiconnA gap would only be inserted if crossfade_offset > fade_out_duration + fade_in_duration
17:21:31webguest95amiconn: ah, i thougtht that crossfade_offset would be the overlap of the tracks
17:25:09Slasheriwebguest95: it is
17:25:57Slasheriamiconn: in fact code can't handle that situation, so no gap will be inserted. The fade in delay will be just shortened

17:50:40amiconnThe offset could also allowed to be negative, this would mean both tracls would be playing at full volume during this time
17:52:44amiconnSetting all 3 times to the same value would resemble a 'clasic' crossfade, offset == 0 would resemble mix mode
17:53:13webguest95in my opinion it would be easier if the user would be able to set the overlap (only positive values) instead of the crossfade_offset
17:53:36amiconnHmm, perhaps
17:53:46amiconnThe final result would be the same
17:54:27webguest95i think setting the overlap is more intuitive
17:54:44webguest95(fir me at least)
17:54:48amiconnThen overlap == fade_in == fade_out would be the classic crossfade, and overlap == fade_in + fade_out would be mix mode

21:02:57markundid you test it without this font then? And also with the unicode fonts?
21:03:21jlomarkun : yes that what I should do but I wanted to change the place of the delay (to delay whole crosfeed signal not only high frequencies) and that's not so easy (I just looked at the dsp.c, registers are rare)
21:03:34markunHm, 00-Starmap_r400-8.fnt has a size of 0 here..

21:05:52markunjlo: what exactly are you trying to do? Delay the whole sound by 13 samples? That wouldn't be a natural crossfeed.

21:06:50jlomarkun : yes I was wrong it's low freq, I wonder why you haven't delayed all freqs
21:07:45amiconnI would also think delaying all frequencies by a constant time would be natural
21:08:12DreamTactix291would 13 samples even be detectable by human ears?
21:08:12 Join solexx___ [0] (n=jrschulz@d009241.adsl.hansenet.de)
21:08:24jlomarkun : no the 13 samples that Preglow mentionned is just to compensate dsp calculation in one branch
21:08:39amiconnThe speed of sound is practically constant across the audible frequency range
21:08:51markunjlo: I wrote the code, so I'm pretty sure why I added the 13 sample delay :)
21:09:51***Saving seen data "./dancer.seen"
21:09:57markunThe theory is that your head blocks (some of) the high frequencies from the speaker on the other side of your head.
21:10:21jlo13 samples is impossible to hear, but it just gives some "peigne" filtering (in french !) when added to a non delayed signal
21:11:03markunIt is just an approximation, but I did some listening tests and preglow too and we settled for these values.
21:11:28amiconnThen I would think the cross-feed of these higher frequencies need to be attenuated (more) than for the lower frequencies, but the delay should remain constant
21:11:56markunI made the values ajustable in my own player and the sound was very different when I changed the delay. It changed the direction where the sound came from..
21:12:03jloyes the head gives a delay of about 350 ms from signal coming from a speaker thats opposite and some high frequency attenuation
21:12:22markunamiconn: That's exactly what I am doing I think
21:12:47markunjlo: are you sure it's that big?
21:12:58amiconnjlo: 350 ms?? Should this read 0.35 ms
21:13:02jlomarkun : no you delayed only low frequencies
21:13:11markunI read it was 0.3ms

21:24:27amiconn(I use unifont)
21:24:55amiconnDoes the viewer interpet the text as iso8859-1?
21:25:02markunamiconn: that's true. The changes to the viewer are not finished.
21:25:22markunIf you revert to the unpatched viewer it will interpret the text as utf-8
21:26:00markunWe need to add codepage selection in a menu to the viewer. Most of the code is in it already.
21:26:15jlomarkun : Preglow posted on the forum that maybe he 'll try to change the implementation After I can modify the values compile and try. I'll keep you informed
21:26:39markunok, thanks
21:27:46amiconnmarkun: Hmm, now I installed the unpatched viewer. It works unless the viewer applies line breaks
21:28:09markunyes, that was fixed in the patched viewer :)
21:28:15amiconn(switched to wide view in order to avoid this)
21:28:23markunShall I change the patched viewer to default to UTF-8?
21:28:26markunfor now
21:28:29amiconncomparing to your screenshot...
21:29:01markunamiconn: did you try some language files? greek, russian..
21:30:30amiconnNo, not yet
21:30:48amiconnarabic-bbc.txt looks quite different from your screen shot
21:31:07markunHm, that's not good. Can you make a screenshot?
21:31:22markunMaybe it's not joined..
21:31:39dwihnoLear: I'll follow your lead and install some chipset drivers, let's see what happens then.,
21:31:43markundid you try unicode6.diff.gz?
21:32:20amiconnThis is unicode6.diff, minus the viewer
21:32:30markunweird
21:32:59amiconnThe begining looks like Firefox displays arabic-bbc.txt
21:33:36amiconnScrolling right in the viewer seems to have weird effects
21:33:59tucozmarkun, I found something (that you might have seen) on crossfeed. http://www.blackwidowaudio.com/index.htm
21:34:18tucozGo to articles, and click on "natural crossfeed"
21:35:57*Cassandra considers submitting some Rockbox feature requests.
21:36:06CassandraI think we should have Quicktime support.
21:36:11CassandraAnd VRML.
21:36:12CassandraAnd AI.
21:36:18Bagderand touch screen
21:36:32CassandraGood point.
21:36:32Bagderoh, that one was already submitted ;-)
21:36:44*Bagder recalls the days of tracktheripper
21:36:47amiconnmarkun: http://amiconn.dyndns.org/arabic-bbc-topleft-wide-view.png
21:37:04CassandraI do love the Morse support though. That's wonderfully silly.
21:37:09amiconnBagder: The latest compressed.patch seems to work as intended
21:37:15Bagderneato
21:37:25markunamiconn: yes, scrolling right doesn't work reliably in the old viewer.
21:37:27amiconnI'm currently running a compressed .ajz of the unicode patch
21:37:39Bagderamiconn: I leave it to you to commit or adjust as you see fit, to match your work
21:37:59Paul_The_NerdCassandra: How 'bout a true text to speech engine with multilanguage support? Hehehe.
21:38:02amiconnI'd say commit it as-is
21:38:08Bagderok
21:38:08markunamiconn: another thing is that the text is RTL, but looks strange because it's left aligned
21:38:13BagderI'll do it
21:38:29CassandraWhat I really can't understand is why we don't have an emacs plugin yet.
21:38:53CassandraOh yeah, and Linux compatibility.
21:39:20amiconnCassandra: Ehm, because we don't have 8 megabytes of RAM (not on all targets at least)
21:39:30CassandraI want to be able to log in to my Jukebox over the headphone cord.
21:39:35amiconn(regarding emacs)
21:39:57amiconnOh, and of course we don't have virtual memory support ;)
21:39:58CassandraBy whistling 1200baud carrier.
21:40:09ender`well, iRivers have at least 16MB ram, right? :)
21:40:18CassandraSurely that's not too much to ask?
21:40:20tucozmarkun: it looks like the author of the article uses different delay's for different frequences. (in some way)
21:40:51amiconnmarkun: Firefox also shows the text left aligned.
21:40:52markuntucoz: I give up, let jlo do it :)
21:41:11amiconnBut you're right, the viewer will have to support bidi properly
21:41:19tucozmarkun: fair enough. I like it though. Makes the 60's listenable again.
21:41:43jlotucoz : this article is interesting but misses something, the comb filter effect is valid for sinus measurements but first we have a delay on music and secondly the crossfeed is attenuated so the comb effect is much less
21:41:55*Cassandra doesn't really mind weird stereo recordings.
21:42:19SlasheriCassandra: hehe, 1200 baud afsk would be probably easy to use but i don't see currently very much of use for that =)
21:42:27CassandraAlthough there's a bit in "Mr. and Mrs. Mickey Mouse" by the Bonzo Dog Band that always makes me think my headphones are broken.
21:42:38CassandraIt's in mono on the right channel.
21:42:43Slasheri*do
21:43:02tucozjlo: It seems like you know this. Hope you get something out of your tests :)
21:43:17*tucoz knows next to nothing on filters
21:43:22CassandraSlasheri, so you can run a web server via IP over avine carrier, of course.
21:43:45SlasheriCassandra :P or attach iriver directly to some packet radio systems ;)
21:44:02CassandraErm, avian
21:44:11Slasheriwithout the need for computer as terminal :) and then you could type with morse.. haha :D
21:44:53*Cassandra is working on a super secret Rockbox related project.
21:45:02CassandraIf I told you about it, I'd have to kill you.
21:45:20Slasherinice :p
21:45:28CassandraI will ask how the hell you're supposed to copy strings in C++ though, which may provide a little clue.
21:45:33amiconnSlasheri: You could connect 2 irivers (line in - line out and vice versa) and play a two-player game plugin...
21:45:39hshahhas TiMiD commited my WPS?
21:46:15Slasheriamiconn: yep.. then we should probably have some communication protocol driver
21:46:23tucozCassandra, string s = "aaa"; string b = a ?
21:46:28Slasheriamiconn: but do you think that would be really useful?
21:46:30Cassandraamiconn, you scare me. That would actually be no less stupid/cool than the Morse support.
21:46:50amiconnmarkun: Do you have an idea what's wrong (or not) with arabic-bbc? In fact my recorder shows the beginning exactly as Firefox, apart from font differences and a missing dot at the beginning of the second line
21:46:55Cassandratucoz, you'd think, yes.
21:47:02tucozhehe, that went wrong. string s = "aaa"; string b = s;
21:47:10Paul_The_NerdI hadn't thought of two-player games as a use for that. All I'd thought was some crazy scheme to integrate a rockbox equipped player as a peripheral for a PC in some way.
21:47:26amiconnCassandra: Imho morse support can be useful, not only for those who already know it
21:47:27dpassen1Cassandra: using the STL string library? or char* for string?
21:47:37markunamiconn: yes, the problem is that the viewer expects every byte to be a char and can just start in the middle of a UTF-8 encoded char
21:47:51tucozthat works if you use stl at least.
21:48:00Paul_The_NerdWith line in/out, could you potentially set up some sort of token ring networking method, building off of that? Just, as crazy ideas go?
21:48:08amiconnI just tried to input a few letters, and I'm fairly sure this is way faster than the standard vkeyboard with only a little practice
21:48:44Cassandraamiconn, That's why I like the Morse patch. It's a lovely piece of lateral thinking. It really makes sense as an input mechanism for MP3 players.
21:48:59 Quit MiLK ()
21:49:12Cassandratucoz, it's causing my program to dump core.

21:49:53tucozreally? weird. I do that all the time.
21:50:15amiconnmarkun: http://amiconn.dyndns.org/arabic-bbc-firefox.png
21:51:17CassandraHmm. I wonder if my global class is getting initialised properly.
21:51:30markunamiconn: yes, that's how it looks like in my firefox as well
21:52:00Paul_The_NerdFor what it's worth, it looks like that here too.
21:52:05CassandraOh, hold on. Is = calling the constructor?
21:52:22CassandraThat could get messy if the string's already initialised.
21:52:49Cassandra(You know, I thought C++ was supposed to make dynamic allocation easier, not more of a pain in the arse.)
21:52:50_FireFly_Cassandra: it shouldn't
21:52:58amiconnCassandra: Beware, C++ may cause headaches ;)
21:53:17LearCassandra: only when you declare it.
21:53:17_FireFly_wxString only overloads the '='-operator
21:53:41Cassandraamiconn, Oh yes. I've been a C purist until now, but if you want to write wxWindows, it's pretty much gotta be in C++.
21:53:48tucozCassandra, the stl is fairly good documented at http://www.roguewave.com/support/docs/sourcepro/stdlibref/booktoc.html and http://www.roguewave.com/support/docs/sourcepro/stdlibref/functoc.html

21:56:11CassandraHmm. If I use a dummy wxString from the same routine, it doesn't coredump.
21:56:12dwihnoLear: seems like the intel inf update already has installed the suitable driver.
21:56:23dwihnoLear: Then it's just me wanting more performance ;)
21:56:37CassandraLooks like the fact I'm trying to copy into a global class is causing the problem.
21:57:12_FireFly_Cassandra: do you mean a global object of a class don't you ;)
21:57:20LearCassandra: still, a simple assign should work. Maybe you're doing something that messes up the wxString storage?
21:57:27Cassandra_FireFly_, an instance, yes.
21:57:50LearThe fact that it is gobal probably increases the chances for that...
21:59:30CassandraHmmm. Maybe my instance isn't getting initialised.
22:00
22:01:08tucoz...and this has to do with rockbox? My guess is a cross-platform patcher? or maybe simulator...

22:26:34CassandraAh, the answer appears to be yes, you can use new in a declaration of global scope.

22:27:23Cassandrabecause it worked and new didn't?
22:27:52Cassandra(because I wasn't using new in a global context, as it turned out.)
22:28:16*Cassandra is a lazy programmer. I code around damage rather than trying to fix it.
22:28:21_FireFly_Cassandra: you should avoid mixing malloc/new free/delete
22:28:26tucozI see, well I thought new and delete were instead of malloc and free
22:28:31CassandraI find it's a good way to learn what works and what doesn't.
22:29:11Cassandra_FireFly_, I see why now. However, it's nice to be aware when you can do it safely.
22:29:38Cassandra(Try to avoid using malloc on class instances is the basic idea.)
22:30:25_FireFly_i would say generelly avoid malloc/free in c++-code ;)

23:07:02tucozI use mc in windows
23:07:16amiconnCall the task manager, kill all (!) explorer.exe processes, then restart one explorer.exe to get the shell back
23:07:42amiconnDo *not* open an explorer in that dir, start a cmd shell instead, and delete the file from there
23:07:54_FireFly_amiconn: afaik if the last explorer process gets killed a new one is automatically started
23:08:10tucozamiconn, not that simple, and not that nice :)
23:08:32amiconn_FireFly_: Not here, but that wouldn't matter in this case. YOu will want your shell back anyway
23:08:36tucozbut if it works, nice tip.
23:09:29amiconnI can kill all explorer.exe tasks, and end up with an empty desktop (as long as no other programs are running) without taskbar, start button etc

23:09:53LinusNmarkun: u there?
23:10:00Paul_The_Nerdamiconn: Which windows are you?
23:10:03markunLinusN: yes
23:10:07amiconnWinXP SP2
23:10:07_FireFly_yeah the desktop depends on explorer.exe
23:10:09amiconn(german)
23:10:25LinusNi think the crossfeed setting should be in the Sound settings menu
23:10:35Paul_The_NerdOdd
23:10:37markunme too
23:10:41tucozSo what do you do with an empty desktop?
23:10:52LinusNmarkun: i suggest you move it
23:10:56CassandraI think the crossfeed setting should be implemented properly so we can use it for stereo width.
23:11:18Paul_The_NerdI know my XP has behaved both ways, though I can't recall when the behaviour changed from reloading explorer automatically to not, or vice versa (can't remember which it does now.) Probably a difference between home and pro, or something
23:11:27CassandraShame I know bugger all about sound processing, really.
23:11:33LinusNmarkun: any chance of adjusting the filter to get rid of the attenuation?
23:11:36markunCassandra: you want the delay and filters to be configurable?
23:12:06ender`Win2k/XP/2003 don't reload exploder automatically if it crashes, while 9x/ME do
23:12:11markunLinusN: jlo and preglow will take a look at the some other filters I think
23:12:12amiconnMaybe it depends on the setting whether to start folder windows in a new process (dunno how that's called exactly in english windows)
23:12:20Paul_The_Nerdender' Some form of XP does.
23:12:32ender`really? never seen one?
23:12:39ender`s/\?/./
23:13:04Cassandramarkun, more that I'd like consistency with the Archos port.
23:13:07Paul_The_NerdYeah, my laptop was doing it in XP for a while.
23:13:16amiconntucoz: You can always use ctrl-alt-del to bring up the task manager, and start a new explorer.exe from there
23:13:29ender`task manager = Ctrl+Shift+Esc
23:13:32tucozAs someone noted here a few days ago, the build table lists 34 builds but it says 35 builds underneath it? What is the 35'th build?
23:13:46tucozamiconn, ah, of course. :)
23:13:47ender`ctrl+alt+del = windows security dialog (at least on machines that are in a domain)
23:14:03LinusNtucoz: a virus!
23:14:08tucozcool
23:14:11amiconnYes, and there is a button for starting the task manager
23:14:15tucozthe rockbox virus
23:14:19Cassandraamicon: KIlling explorer seems to have done the trick, thanks.
23:14:27ender`btw, how do i have to set up the crossfade settings if i just want to mix 3 seconds of the songs?
23:14:46amiconnFor machines not in a domain which use the XP welcome screen, ctrl-alt-del starts the task manager directly
23:15:00ender`yeah, that's annoying
23:15:06LinusNtucoz: i don't know what the 35th build is
23:15:28CassandraUnless you have to turn the welcome screen off, say for fingerprint recognition to work, to pick a totally non-arbitrary example.
23:15:52ender`anyway, Ctrl+Shift+Esc is always task manager
23:15:53tucozLinusN, no biggie. It probably makes the build time for each target a few seconds lower than it actually is. Fake statistics is always good :)
23:16:08LinusNlol
23:16:11amiconnYes, then you'll get the security dialog the same way as for machines that are in a domain
23:16:34amiconnender`: Thanks for the tip
23:17:01ender`want another? Win+Pause = system properties :)
23:17:10amiconnI know some
23:17:20ender`Win+L, the most useful
23:17:25amiconnyup
23:18:10ender`btw, didn't you need a H120 scan with rockbox logo on it?
23:18:17tucozwow, I thought that the win button could only bring up the start-menu. Is it actually used for something else as well.

23:21:39Paul_The_NerdDoes the right-click-thingy-button do anything useful?
23:22:25CassandraWin + D is incredibly useful. Go on - try it.
23:22:28amiconnender`: That scan should replace the current one in the device comparison chart
23:22:54amiconnCassandra: No use for me
23:23:05Paul_The_NerdCassandra: Somehow, that sounds like something I *shouldn't* do.
23:23:20ender`it's just show the desktop shortcut
23:23:22amiconnIt's just 'minimise all windows'
23:23:29ender`same as right-click the taskbar->Show desktop
23:23:43ender`(use it again to restore the windows)
23:23:44tucozCassandra, that is actually good
23:23:45amiconnNo need for this
23:24:11*amiconn has no single icon on the desktop except the trashcan
23:24:12CassandraYeah. I wasn't being sarcastic, for once.
23:24:25CassandraMe neither.

23:24:35 Quit Kohlriba ("Leaving")
23:24:37CassandraAlthough I cheat. I use Objectdock.
23:25:02amiconnI just use that quick launch bar for often used programs
23:25:23*ender` prefers the side button on his mouse + scrollwheel for switching the programs with mouse
23:25:27amiconnFor all others I just use the start menu (or start->execute)
23:25:38ender`you mean Win+R :)
23:25:41CassandraI used to do that, but it got so half my taskbar was taken up with tray icons and launch icons.
23:25:55Paul_The_NerdI created a second taskbar and organized the programs I actually use in it, then got rid of every icon on the desktop, or hid them.
23:26:06*ender` has 37 icons in his quicklaunch bars
23:26:19*amiconn only has 6

23:26:29thegeekyou're not leet until you run your own litestep theme

23:26:50thegeekit's perfect

23:27:05CassandraBesides, ObjectDock is cool, and does that shrinky growy MacOS X icon type thing.
23:27:06thegeekit's actually the one thing holding me back from switching to linux;)
23:27:19*ender` disliked OS X
23:27:19Jungti1234Good Morning~
23:27:31*ender` dislikes eye candy
23:27:41thegeekeye candy is ok
23:27:47CassandraYou're going to hate the new windows then.
23:27:56Paul_The_NerdI'm actually watching ReactOS for it to finally say "Hey, I run all the programs you want to. So there."
23:27:56thegeekbut only second to performance
23:27:57CassandraEye candy is fine as long as it's functional.
23:28:07thegeekexactly Cassandra
23:28:17ender`reactos has ugly shell
23:28:50thegeekI dont think the actual gui is the main focus;)
23:28:56thegeekthey are still developing the os itself
23:29:11ender`i hope so
23:29:28ender`their filemanager looks like the Win3.1 File Manager
23:29:47CassandraBesides, presumably you can always run $WindowsAlternateShell anyway.
23:30:10Paul_The_Nerdender' I use Windows XP with the shell set to that "ugly" gray theme anyway.
23:30:23CassandraI like the grey theme.
23:30:32Paul_The_NerdI do too. ;-)
23:30:36muesli-thats nerd style ;)
23:30:38ender`i use 2003 with themes disabled and colors set to nice dark green shade
23:31:23Paul_The_NerdI'm still looking for a old tan tower for my desktop. Last time I needed a new one, the most basic looking one I could find was all black. The rest had lick... lighting inside, and windows and other crazy stuff.

23:32:19thegeekthat is horrible ender`
23:32:31thegeekso many icons, and _green_ ?
23:32:39Paul_The_NerdScores points for having Xenosaga wallpaper though
23:33:01ender`just finished ep1 on Saturday :)
23:33:19Jungti1234-_-
23:33:58Paul_The_NerdI can't bring myself to finish Ep 2. I don't like it as much. I'll finish it once it gets closer to when 3 comes out
23:34:08ender`also bought ep2 PAL, but i'm playing the downloaded NTSC version, because the movies look ugly in the PAL one (and it didn't let me import the ep1 data)
23:34:39CassandraMine has cats on it.
23:34:45CassandraLike the rest of my house.
23:35:09ender`you mean like this: http://deeperthought.ena.si/imgs/comp/mess4.jpg
23:35:50CassandraYes, except I only have 1 monitor.
23:36:08Cassandra(A Dell 24" widescreen jobbie. It's lovely.)
23:36:11Paul_The_NerdI don't have a desktop wallpaper.
23:36:42Jungti1234ah hahaha
23:36:47Jungti1234me too

23:38:44cannardand its bloody'yuuuge!
23:38:55Jungti1234bye
23:38:56ender`probably won't be widescreen though - i prefer my monitors 5:4

23:39:17Paul_The_NerdThere's always this quality to them, that doesn't look quite right to me.
23:39:35thegeekhttp://ninjarape.net/shell3.png
23:39:37thegeekwidescreen rocks
23:39:49thegeekI'm using a 2005fpw from dell right now
23:39:52thegeekit's awsome
23:39:56thegeekMUCH better than two monitors
23:40:00CassandraI have a complex arrangement involving D clamps, and a triangular wood frame with a wall mount attachment screwed into it.
23:40:02ender`i've got a 82cm widescreen TV, that's enough
23:40:04thegeekyou dont have to deal with all the issues
23:40:22ghode|afkhmmm
23:40:22ender`i don't want a widescreen monitor because the windows would be too wide (i always use all my programs maximized)
23:40:56thegeekafter getting a widescreen I tend to multitask with windows _not_ maximized
23:41:08thegeekI used to have most windows maximized before too
23:41:09*Cassandra nods. Yup. Me too.
23:41:17thegeekbut with a widescreen you have the space to keep them windomized

23:44:15Paul_The_NerdI mean, I have one, but if I had to pick *one* system it wouldn't be that one.
23:45:10ender`what other system has Final Fantasy and Xenosaga? :)
23:45:59cannardsega mega_cd?
23:46:21Paul_The_NerdBah, the PS2 final fantasies have been unimpressive.
23:46:31Paul_The_NerdI'll give you Xenosaga though. Maybe.
23:46:42Paul_The_NerdIt was good.
23:47:43*ender` wishes he could play xenogears on PS2, but he didn't have a PS1 memory card...
23:48:08Paul_The_NerdAh
23:48:20Paul_The_NerdI never understood why they didn't format the first 150k as a PS1 card.
23:48:31Paul_The_NerdUse two partitions, basically.
23:48:31ender`to sell more stuff of course
23:48:36Paul_The_NerdI suppose.
23:48:46ender`well, there's always ePSXe
23:48:57Paul_The_NerdThat's my general choice.
23:49:04Paul_The_NerdEven if the framebuffer effects slow it down a lot
23:49:12ender`i never understood why the PS2 memcards are so damn slow
23:49:28ender`not on my computer :)
23:49:29Paul_The_NerdBecause they used the cheapest flash memory they could, then charged you out the ass for it anyway?
23:49:59Paul_The_NerdMine does the heat glare in the first cutscene at about 35fps. Well, my laptop does, I suppose I should say. After that the game's fullspeed.
23:50:30ender`59,9FPS at 1280x1024
23:51:29ender`i played most of xenogears without FPS limit, made the text much more bearable
23:51:57Paul_The_NerdYeah, I tend to disable it at those points.
23:52:25Paul_The_NerdPS2 has a glitch with Xenogears anyway

23:52:33ender`really?
23:52:49Paul_The_NerdEverything is drawn at about 98% opaquity I'd say. You can VERY slightly see through everything to what's below it.
23:52:55Paul_The_NerdSo if Fei walks behind a wall, you can still see his sprite.
23:53:03ender`haha
23:53:08ender`i need to check that out
23:53:26Paul_The_NerdIt's a *very* faint effect. I didn't notice it first until right before you recruit Rico, but once I saw it, it was noticeable
23:57:19ender`btw, is it just me, or was dubbing in xenogears horrible?
23:57:46Paul_The_NerdHorrible doesn't even BEGIN to describe it. It was Symphony of the Night bad.
