#rockbox log for 2005-12-06

00:00:17Paul_The_NerdYes
00:00:20Paul_The_NerdThat's a common complaint
00:00:33Paul_The_NerdI also like the visual style in 1 better. (Possibly just because Shion had glasses)
00:00:50ender`there's two of us

00:01:13Paul_The_NerdIt's that "geek girl in glasses" weakness
00:01:15ender`i only started ep2, but in some shots kos-mos looks just horrible
00:01:31ender`i can't really decide on shion though
00:01:36Paul_The_NerdHehehe
00:01:47Paul_The_NerdHave you seen the art for Kos Mos in Ep 3?
00:01:48LinusNPaul_The_Nerd & ender`: while we do appreciate good conversation, we kind of prefer to have rockbox development discussions in this channel
00:01:55Paul_The_NerdSorry LinusN.
00:02:05ender`ok ok :)
00:02:06LinusNno worries
00:02:18cannardso anyways, i was playing xenosaga on rockboy...
00:02:23LinusN:-)
00:02:25Paul_The_NerdHahaha
00:02:39Paul_The_NerdI don't think the Coldfires are *quite* fast enough
00:02:58ender`hey, if they ported FFX to NES, why not?

00:03:49Paul_The_NerdY'know, an NES emulator on Rockbox would be kinda neat.
00:04:13Paul_The_NerdGameboy's resolution is vertically 16 pixels more than the H1xx screen, I think. At least, rockbox trims 16 rows iiuc.

00:10:52Bagderman
00:10:58Bagderis that gui code filled with this
00:11:17*Bagder puts on his Code Police badge
00:12:36Paul_The_Nerdender': Mode Mix, 3 seconds for each of the durations, I think?
00:13:06ender`i'll try...
00:13:13Paul_The_NerdI haven't really used it much. I played with it briefly back when the options were all new and shiny, then decided I liked my songs to end crisply.
00:14:01ender`i like them to overlap a bit when shuffling

00:19:19Soul-EI would play it all day
00:19:36Soul-Eand a SCUMMVM emulator too. I'd just play monkey island and maniac mansion
00:19:48Karnyhiya!
00:19:55Karnyi hope someone can help me
00:20:00Paul_The_NerdScummVM would apparently be rather hard to port, due to the large amounts of C++ and etc.
00:20:12Soul-EIsn't Rbx programmed in C?
00:20:27KarnyI'm trying to compile rockbox by source... but I ca't seem to find sh-elf-gcc
00:20:28Paul_The_NerdC and C++ aren't the same thing.
00:20:45ender`use a C++ to C translator :)
00:21:00Bagderit using C++ should not be a very big problem
00:21:16Bagderunless it uses very fancy parts of it
00:21:20*Paul_The_Nerd shrugs.
00:21:29Paul_The_NerdThis is just what I've been told.
00:21:42Karnyany ideas?
00:21:54LinusNKarny: windows or linux?

00:23:08Karnyawesome!! just what I've been looking for!
00:23:16Karnythanks LinusN!
00:23:31MoosLinusN,markun: think you ReplayGain can be moved in Sounds Settings too (like Crossfeed)?
00:23:32LinusNKarny: where did you look?
00:24:58Mooswith those clipping mode things, it could be cool to have the prevent clipping ReplayGain option in Sound Setting (here all music collection ReplayGain tagged)
00:25:28Moosno?
00:25:57cannardSoul-E, your best bet would be zork :p
00:26:37LinusNMoos: sounds reasonable
00:26:53KarnyLinusN, I searched the wiki a bit and tired a fair amount of googling
00:26:58*amiconn wants this clipping modes to go away again
00:27:06Moos:D
00:27:10*amiconn should post to the dev ml
00:27:30KarnyI was also lazy I looked thru a lot of debian and ubuntu repos to see if anyone had rockbox binaries ;)
00:27:33*amiconn has a working patch with dB volume and no artificial volume limit
00:27:35LinusNi'm with you amiconn
00:27:38Moosamiconn: why you didn't reply to len0x in ml, for give your opinion?
00:28:16Moosamiconn: good luck for this
00:28:23LinusNKarny: both those links are in the "documentation" section at rockbox.org
00:29:03amiconnMoos: For one, I was away for 3 days. Then, he changed a thread topic instead of starting a new one. This somewhat distracts attention if you aren't interested in the start of the thread
00:29:18KarnyLinusN, I know... but It's kinda vague as to what the whole process is... sorry for wasting your time

00:31:35Moosis the function of this IRC no ?
00:31:44KarnyI might try to write a faq if I get this to work... sure there are other debian/ubuntu/linux users who could use a simple howto

00:35:36LinusNmerci
00:35:41 Part LinusN
00:36:03amiconnMoos: Yes, somewhat. For one, the clipping mode options really annoy me. Then, some experiments I did convinced me that we should not limit artificially. We don't do so on the recorders and Ondios for a long time, so why should we do so on the player and iriver?
00:36:21Karny'nother stupid question...
00:36:37amiconn(especially since the maximum possible volume of the iriver is low compared to the archoses)
00:36:46Karnyiriver h320... is that sh-elf or m68k-elf?

00:38:12amiconnPercent just don't make much sense for a logarithmic scale, and 100% not being 0 dB (on archos) is another reason to switch to dB
00:39:12Karnyamiconn, thanks!
00:39:28Moosall said, go, go for dB switching :)
00:39:36amiconnAll this was on my personal todo list (except the non-limiting thing which resulted from experiments), but with low priority
00:40:02Paul_The_Nerdamiconn: Also, I just tried to apply it against a fresh CVS and I think it didn't fully apply in sound_menu.c
00:40:11amiconnThe drawback of todo lists is that they are always too long and even tend to grow :(
00:40:20Moosamiconn: I assume you've got a big todo list, no?
00:40:27Mooshehe :)
00:40:40amiconnPaul_The_Nerd: Hmm, maybe this is because of the crossfeed move
00:40:48*amiconn goes to update his patch
00:41:11Moosamiconn: how look the unicode thing?
00:41:21Paul_The_NerdI'm not good at reading the .rej file and figuring out how to manually apply

01:01:53markunIt would be nice if a language file contained a string with most (or all) of the used chars so they can be preloaded into the cache, just an idea
01:02:21Bagderit would be easy to write a script to do that
01:03:28markunMaybe no so useful for a chinese language file maybe, might become quite a big string :)
01:03:54Bagderwell, it could still be useful if done right
01:04:03Bagderespecially for a language like chinese
01:05:34markunIf we could order the charst with with the most used first we could limit the number of chars to read to the size of the cache

01:20:41markunamiconn: I fixed the language problem. Shall I add a message "Language file too big" when it is? Or just leave it like this because it shouldn't happen?
01:21:28amiconnWhat was the problem?
01:22:22amiconnI don't think it's necessary to add a message, at least not together with unicode
01:22:32markunfirst the language buffer was filled and then it was checked if the file was small enough.. leaving the language buffer corrupted
01:23:05amiconnoops...
01:23:33markunI'll commit this fix. When the language file is too big nothing will happen.
01:24:03markunBut we might get some questions from translators if their files stop working
01:24:16markunwithout warning them that the file is too big
01:24:43amiconnThe != itself check should have worked
01:25:11amiconnThe read() call is limited to the buffer size
01:25:55amiconn...but of course, the buffer will be corrupted instead
01:26:15amiconn(and the != check 'wastes' one buffer byte)
01:26:33markunI think I solved it quite ok. Better than reloading the old file.
01:27:21amiconnfilesize() ?
01:27:45markunyes
01:27:54markunand renamed filesize to fsize
01:28:33amiconnThe cookie & version check also happen too late in current cvs code

01:28:58amiconnyes.
01:29:27amiconnIn current cvs, the file gets loaded first, corrupting the currently loaded language.
01:29:53markunso we should read the first 2 bytes to variables first
01:30:00amiconnThis corruption is only resolved if (1) the file is small enough and (2) cookie and version both match

01:48:35amiconnThe fix is rather simple, Bagder just overlooked some of the macro calls he wanted to remove
01:49:14markunI still think we might give some feedback if the language file cannot be loaded

01:52:32w98hey all, last irc client was acting goofy ... can someone describe how I can get the 'mkboot' utility to patch my H320 firmware?
01:53:08linuxstbw98: It's described here: http://www.rockbox.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/IriverBoot
01:54:15w98it describes a 'tools' folder that I don't see after unzipping the rockbox software though
01:54:31linuxstbYou need to download the Rockbox source.
01:55:05linuxstbAnd then type "make mkboot" in the tools directory (and similarly for any other tools you need).
01:55:18w98thanks, that's what i was looking for
01:55:36w98are the makefiles set up for a 'make all' instruction?
01:55:51linuxstbOr if you are running Windows or have Wine installed, just use the fwpatcher.exe application.

04:48:49Lost-ashthe flashing really needs to be solved with a proper z-buffer, or something, i suspect, and/or region updates.
04:51:47kkurbjunthat was what I was thinking (more a z buffer), but I havn't found the code that does the updates yet
04:52:05kkurbjunright now I'm just checking to see if it'll work ok without a backgroung and color icons

05:31:48lostlogicgah, how am I getting more ticks allocated to functions than the time totals
05:31:53lostlogicI must be fecking it up.
05:32:02ashridahheh.
05:32:09ashridahone of the things i used to love about gprof.
05:32:24ashridahthe sample rate was 10ms/sample
05:32:36ashridahso functions running quicker than that used to get bogus numbers
05:32:42ashridahso my programs would run 2-3 seconds
05:32:51ashridahand gprof would say "this program ran for 30 seconds"
05:32:55ashridahand i'd go "wtf?!"
05:33:00lostlogichehe, do you think that 100us timer pulses is reasonable on the coldfire?
05:33:15ashridah.1ms? hmm.
05:33:34lostlogicactually... now that I think of it, I base that on CPU_FREQ so it's somewhat longer at 90mhz than 100us
05:33:38ashridahkeep in mind that the cpu speed changes tho
05:33:48ashridahyou might need to record boosts too?
05:33:54ashridahso you can change the calculation rates
05:33:56lostlogicdoesn't change during profiling, always boosted cuz profiling is SOOO SLOOOOWWW
05:34:01ashridahaah
05:34:21lostlogicI have a todo on my forum post about this to setup a timer that specifically doesn't recalculate timer interval on boost changes for profiling, but it's a low priority.
05:34:31ashridahheh. i remember bringing my issues up with my lecturer about gprof. he didn't know what to do. useless tool.
05:34:50ashridahso i basically submitted a report with analysis, and a footnot that said "these numbers are completely inaccurate due to XYZ"
05:34:59ashridahstill got perfect marks. silly
05:35:03lostlogicI submitted some like that in school
05:35:12lostlogicteachers like it when people are smart enough to know that stuff.
05:35:31ashridahthe thing that annoyed me was that he never really addressed it
05:35:38lostlogic*nod*
05:35:48ashridahall i got was some other moron going "use gprof, it rocks!"
05:35:59ashridaheven tho i WAS using it, and it doesn't. ;)
05:36:10ashridahwish the uni had sprung for a decent commercial compiler
05:36:35lostlogicmeh, they should have just done a project to improve gcc... :)
05:38:11ashridahat second year level C programming?
05:38:27lostlogicnot for _you_ to do it, but as a project at the UNI

08:04:44amiconnkkurbjun: (1) There is a difference between lcd_mono_bitmap and lcd_bitmap on all units except the pure b&w ones
08:05:21amiconn(2) For proper colour support in wps, the bmp loader is the simplest part
08:11:21 Join ender` [0] (i=ychat@84.52.165.220)
08:12:41MrShleeI've noticed on the H3XX. that the LCD isn't actually turned off.. the backlight is off but you can see see the faded updated lcd.
08:16:18amiconnA lot more needs to be changed if we want to do it right, like allowing colour attributes for text
08:17:17amiconnThe scroll thread is one such place that needs work, and imho we should switch to textboxes for scrolling at the same time
08:18:28amiconn(3) I have some ideas for colour support, e.g. possible global background image support in the LCD driver, with almost no slowdown
08:20:22amiconnMy idea for the BMP loader was to make it work similar to bmp2rb, but without all the intermediate buffers
08:21:08amiconnIt should allow all BMP colour depths for input, and output either a mono bitmap or a native bitmap (greyscale or colour)
08:21:36amiconnFor b&w targets both output formats are identical

09:02:14BagderI agree

09:02:35BagderRockbox does so on Archos since years back, definitely a good thing
09:02:47Slasheripreglow: yes, i will do that (at least when crossfading is not activated and instant audio skipping is not possible to do)
09:02:55preglowyup
09:03:07preglowwhen crossfading is on i agree it should not stop audio
09:03:16Slasheribut i still haven't figured out how to detect if instant skipping can be done or not
09:03:42Slasheriprobably easiest is to check that if we need to buffer from disk, then stop audio
09:03:45preglowwe should also implement some way to fade out audio, so we don't get clicks

10:15:13XavierGrlucky you...
10:16:30linuxstbBagder: Did you read my questions in the log about your char/unsigned char changes? I was wondering why you decided to make (some) strings unsigned char.
10:17:11BagderI didn't do any closer analyses, I've just been scanning through the sources attempting to stomp out the warnings
10:17:37Bagderin the cases where there are/were mixed uses, I mostly did the smallest change
10:17:57Bagderin general, we should remove lots of unsigned char * uses
10:18:07Bagderwhich I think my changes make clear
10:19:11BagderI'm tempted to switch off the warning inhibit soon
10:19:15linuxstbBut, for example, in gui/splash.c you changed the type of a string parameter (fmt) from char to unsigned char.
10:19:24Bagderyes
10:19:33Bagderbecause that is almost always used with a str() input
10:19:34linuxstbWhich means you have to do (unsigned char*)"my string"
10:19:42Bagderwhich is made to return an usigned char *
10:20:19linuxstbShouldn't str() be changed then? All the functions in string.h (and gcc's interpretation of literal strings) make strings plain char*.
10:20:25Bagderyes imho it should
10:20:37Bagderbut that's a big change
10:21:19Bagderwe should use "char *" for strings all over, unless especially motivated
10:21:48Bagderthe thing is, I feel a slight need to rush in my changes
10:21:53Bagderto disable the warning inhibit
10:22:04Bagdersince I see the same errors are going in while I'm working on this
10:22:43linuxstbBut the unicode patch could change things - it defines strings (with good reason) to be unsigned char.
10:23:13Bagderyes, when the unicode patch is applied we should have it sorted or sort it out
10:23:18XavierGrok tell me your opinion on a performance matter.
10:23:56preglowthere
10:23:57preglowgot it fixed
10:24:09preglowgod damn piece of shit computer here obviously doesn't work
10:24:40XavierGrCurrently the midi2wav plugin is set to 30,000 bytes output. It is too low IMHO and I will get it fixed with a big pointer buffer. But can this small buffer affect the performance of the plugin?
10:25:05BagderXavierGr: it can, but I doubt you'll notice any significant speed change
10:25:42XavierGrso the disk doesn't hog down the cpu?
10:26:08XavierGrI mean that maybe the cpu waits the okay from disk to continue processing.
10:26:54linuxstbBagder: With unicode in mind, I think you were right to change strings to unsigned char. We just need to carry that through everywhere - which will always mean casting to (char*) when using the string.h functions.
10:26:58BagderXavierGr: you'll find out when you increase the buffer size
10:27:23preglowamiconn: nice patch, i like it
10:27:49XavierGrwell then I will. But I am not an optimization expert so this is the only I thing I can do for this poor soul.
10:27:54linuxstbXavierGr: Simply do a test with disk writing disabled, and see what difference there is. In my early codec tests, I never found the writing to make much of a difference.
10:28:30preglowdoubt it'll make a difference
10:28:34BagderXavierGr: real performance gains are made by improving the stuff that take the most time and is used most frequently
10:28:53Bagderoddly enough
10:29:20XavierGrnow that you mention it: I was fiddling with filenames (wanted to output to a new file instead of a fixed one) and it had errors so there was no file output but the results were the same. That's dissapointing. :(
10:29:45XavierGrBagder: You mean loops and stuff?
10:29:49Bagderyes
10:29:55Bagderand math
10:30:34XavierGrYes but it probably has to come to ASM base optimization, so no go for me. But I will try for the fun of it nevertheless.

10:33:46XavierGreven without the xxx2wav it will work but it will not output anything
10:33:49XavierGrnot a file nor sound
10:34:00XavierGrI emailed the coder.
10:34:18XavierGrHe is interested about it, but he has no free time or a target to test.
10:34:47XavierGrHe said that he will get back to it when he finds the time or buy an actuall Rockbox compatible DAP.

10:36:40LinusNi'm getting pretty tired of all these ifdefs for different hardwares
10:37:10XavierGrHi Linus, what's your advice then?
10:37:17Bagderwe should strive to decrease ifdefs
10:37:27LinusNwell, we don't have much of a choice really
10:37:46LinusNmy major source of grief is the ifdef policy
10:37:55Bagderthe aim should be to push ifdefs to lower-level code, and attempt to keep higher-level ifdef-free
10:38:06LinusN"check for features, not for platforms"
10:38:28BagderI disagree with that conclusion
10:38:38LinusNthat policy works for the higher layers, but not the lower
10:38:40BagderI would even argue that policy has helped us a lot
10:38:53Bagdertrue
10:39:10LinusNfor instance, we will have plenty of platforms with the uda1380
10:39:24LinusNbut it is connected in different ways on all of them
10:39:43Bagderperhaps we should make target/ dirs
10:39:48Bagderfor target-specific code
10:39:53Bagderdrivers etc
10:40:04Bagderand cpu/ for cpu
10:40:07LinusNor allow #ifdef IRIVER_H100_SERIES in the drivers
10:40:39Bagderyes, but the problem with that is that people will read those and re-use them in other code
10:40:48Bagderso they'll spread
10:41:09Bagderperhaps we should name them something that sounds driver-ish
10:41:17LinusNso we should let it be a mess in the drivers to prevent a mess in onther places?
10:41:29Bagder?
10:41:33Bagderdid I say that?
10:41:48LinusN(in response to your "the problem is..."
10:42:16Bagderwell, you can't pretend the problems don't exist, you need to think of them
10:42:22Bagderand then consider what the proper action is
10:42:37BagderI'm not saying what to do, I'm just thinking out loud
10:42:38LinusNi have a few suggestions
10:42:41preglowLinusN: doing some x5 work?
10:42:50LinusNpreglow: no
10:43:32LinusNbut none of them reduces the #ifdefs in any significant way
10:44:31LinusNone approach would be a target/ dir, with all the gory hardware details
10:45:08LinusNsmall functions for all the necessary stuff, like enabling ata power, usb power etc
10:45:19LinusNmight even be macros
10:45:20Bagderthat's how u-boot does it and I like that
10:45:35Bagder(it supports ~200 boards and ~30 cpus...)
10:46:10*preglow supports anything leading to fewer ifdefs
10:46:37Bagderthe linux kernel does it like that too
10:46:47preglowyes, and let's split crt0.S while we're at it
10:46:48LinusNi'll ponder about the target/ approach for a while
10:47:19BagderLinusN: and a separate cpu/ dir for the cpu-specific things that are shared between targets using the same cpu

11:27:37preglowLinusN: some proprietary thing, lake huron
11:27:52preglowit's got a bunch of 56002s in it
11:28:06LinusNamiconn: bad soldering is my guess
11:28:23amiconnI observed similar behaviour on my recorder v1 (spurious BUTTON_OFF events) lately
11:28:33amiconnIt only happens when batteries are low
11:28:37LinusNwe decreased the button poll rate because of this phenomenon
11:29:03amiconnThis didn't happen some weeks ago...
11:29:11LinusNoh
11:29:24LinusNmaybe we have increased it again? :-)
11:29:28Jungti1234hi
11:30:22amiconnThe strange thing is that while I would suspect changes in the button driver, I can't find any which might cause this behaviour
11:31:37 Join criis [0] (n=criis@0x52b4226b.static.bcbnet.dk)
11:31:39amiconnThe spurious OFF events are also annoying when playing bejeweled...
11:31:44LinusNit may be caused by a voltage drop for some other reason
11:34:58amiconnHmm....
11:35:34amiconnIs it possible that my backlight handling cleanup causes this?
11:36:04amiconnThere used to be a (dirty) call to backlight_tick() from button_read()
11:36:34amiconnNow backlight_tick() is properly registered as a separate tick task
11:37:27amiconnThat may cause it to be called before the button tick
11:37:46LinusNbut how can that cause a spurious OFF?
11:37:56muesli_-g'mornin
11:38:24amiconnSwitching the backlight might cause voltage changes
11:38:41LinusNamiconn: ay, yes
11:38:41amiconnHmm, but then the backlight tick just sends events to the backlight thread...
11:39:34amiconnWhat puzzles me most is that it causes OFF events, but no others
11:39:45amiconnOFF is connected to a port pin...
11:40:39preglowbtw, shouldn't current_tick be declared volatile?
11:40:58amiconnIt's simple to check whether it's connected to the backlight thing, I should do so
11:41:14amiconnJust set backlight to always on (or always off)
11:41:18preglowand why isn't it unsigned?
11:42:20amiconnIt's signed to make it easier to compute time differences
11:42:26LinusNpreglow: why volatile?
11:42:39ashridahisn't volatile basically ignored by the compiler these days?
11:42:46ashridahor am i thinking of 'register'
11:42:46Bagderashridah: indeed not
11:42:51Bagderregister is, yes
11:42:53preglowi thought the optimiser would really need volatile as a hint
11:42:55ashridahaah, okay
11:42:57LinusNashridah: you mean "register"
11:42:57preglowwhat if current_tick changes in a function

11:43:18*Bagder searched for days for a bug involving volatile the other day...
11:43:22LinusNthe compiler knows that
11:43:25preglowLinusN: alrightey

11:46:41preglowXavierGr: i know, but nothing in rockbox should use mallocs
11:46:42LinusNpolling current_tick without calling a function in between will fail
11:47:00preglowXavierGr: the only places in rockbox we use mallocs, is in codecs, because we haven't bothered to remove them yet
11:47:00XavierGrwhy you included then in the first place?
11:47:06LinusNfortunately, we usually call yield() or sleep() between polls

11:49:57preglowLinusN: yeah, i thought about that, i was just trying to clarify whether you'd thought of it or not
11:50:01linuxstbXavierGr: There is a function called something like get_audio_buffer() - the jpeg viewer uses it for example.
11:50:04XavierGrlinuxstb: *mp3buf ?
11:50:22preglowXavierGr: you're going to use the mp3 buffer for storage space once the midi codec is turned into a real codec anyway
11:50:47preglowi'm just used to seeing all variables which are manipulated by isrs declared volatile
11:51:02preglowand then: why isn't it unsigned? :P
11:51:14XavierGrxxx2wave.c has an *mp3buf that relates to the audio buffer. (or so the comments say so.)
11:51:34ashridahpreglow: to allow differences to be calculated easily apparently

11:52:51BagderI doubt many users have experienced a tick counter roll-over ;-)
11:53:11preglowbtw, we still have a 'prevent clipping' option we can use to include bass and treble clipping
11:53:35ashridahBagder: what, no-one's kept their player running for more than 400 days? (assuming it's a signed int, not a long or something)
11:53:57preglowshould we use that for that purpose as well, or should we just ignore the bass and treble limiting people are going to be nagging about?

12:00:41 Nick ashridah is now known as Lost-ash (n=ashridah@69.55.227.55)
12:07:06linuxstbI'm just thinking aloud, but what about a sound settings screen that makes everything (volume, bass, treble, loudness etc) visible together, with some indication where a certain combination could cause clipping. If a "prevent clipping" mode was added, then this would visibly auto-adjust the other settings when a change to one setting introduced clipping.
12:08:25LinusNlinuxstb: i like that idea
12:09:11XavierGrNow just great! I used the ready buffer from xxx2wav and the wave file is all garbage sounds.
12:09:59XavierGrI will try the get_audio_buffer.
12:09:59LinusNlinuxstb: the problem still remains, the application doesn't have the necessary knowledge about the dac to do those adjustments
12:10:18justsomepersonhaving sound adjustments at app level is a good idea
12:11:22justsomepersonin fact that what I'd do if I had time originally instead of current "prevent clipping" option
12:11:51justsomepersonwhat knowledge we don't have about DAC ?
12:12:40LinusNthe application has only the set_xxx() API
12:13:04LinusNit doesn't know the limits and the relations between the bass/treble and the volume

12:13:34LinusNmarkun: yes
12:14:45LinusNof course, we could extend the sound driver api with get() methods

12:24:14LinusNZak1392: you're welcome
12:24:17leftrightreplay gain already has a "prevent clipping" menu, this conflicts with the "prevent clipping" menu under volume, very confusing
12:24:24Jungti1234XavierGr, Why do you hate DRM?
12:25:15linuxstbJungti1234: I think it's obvious - DRM removes your freedom to do what you want with the music you buy.
12:25:44Zak1392hey linus, do you know why rockbox sucks up so much battery life?
12:25:54Jungti1234I think so.
12:26:03LinusNZak1392: no
12:26:18LinusNZak1392: some people claim it's the lcd, but i haven't measured
12:26:30Zak1392any ideas at all?
12:27:03LinusNit could be the lcd, but it may very well be a port pin collision somewhere, draining power and heating up the cpu
12:27:04Bagderthose people blaiming the LCD hardly knows that anyway, they just guess
12:27:24Bagdersince it is an obvious difference to the original fw
12:27:44Bagderbtw, can the original h300 firmware shut off the lcd on demand?
12:27:52amiconnLinusN: I think it should be possible to do those adjustments at the app level. Just make sure current_volume + MAX(bass_boost, treble_boost) <= max_volume
12:28:03Zak1392but sometimes when the battery goes down to about 60% in rockbox it shows full battery in iriver firmware
12:28:05amiconnThe thing is, I start to believe that it doesn't make sense
12:28:34BagderZak1392: well, you shouldn'y judge battery life based on ther percentage shown
12:28:40Bagderonly pure run-time counts
12:28:54LinusNthe battery level hasn't been calibrated on the h300
12:29:13LinusNamiconn: doesn't make sense?
12:29:20amiconnWe will have (and already have) more factors than just treble and bass which influence the point of possible clipping
12:29:30LinusNoh yes
12:29:43Zak1392but sometimes it shows the battery down in iriver firmware too
12:29:55Bagderagain, only pure run-time counts
12:30:13amiconnLoudness on MAS3587/MAS3539, probably software EQ on iriver, replaygain on archos...

12:30:42amiconnFurthermore, quiet tracks don't clip as early as loud tracks (of course)
12:31:44LinusNexactly
12:31:57Zak1392how come it says 2h 36min remaining at 100% battery life but when it goes down to 98% it says 8h 47min?
12:32:04amiconnYou see, I changed my opionion. We shouldn't limit the volume artificially. If it clips, the user will notice and reduce the volume
12:32:18LinusNstill, i think it could be useful with a mode where the user can crank the volume safely
12:32:23amiconnThis is in fact the case with most other equipment
12:32:31BagderZak1392: what in everything we write doesn't reach you?
12:33:00BagderZak1392: you can help us fix that, or you can continue asking those questions
12:33:25linuxstbThe behaviour some users want (iriver firmware users) is to automatically scale back the bass when the volume is increased, and also to automatically return the bass to the high setting when volume is decreased.
12:33:31XavierGrI agree with Linus on that
12:33:57BagderI guess the problem is to define "safely"
12:33:57LinusNi wouldn't use that mode, but i believe it has a use
12:34:07Zak1392bagder: it's just that 2h is kinda scary lol
12:34:13LinusNclipping can destroy a tweeter
12:34:21LinusN(so i've heard)
12:34:26BagderZak1392: why? If the estimate is wrong?
12:34:58Zak1392it just freaked me out when i first saw it
12:35:05leftrightwhyy not treat the volume as most hifi's do, with no behind the scenes trickery, turn your hifi up too much distortion, simple
12:35:25amiconnleftright: That's exactly how my patch handles it
12:35:32Bagderthat's what I think too
12:35:36Bagderlet's do that first
12:35:53Bagderand only if it reaaaaally gets annoying, add a weird way to avoid it
12:36:36justsomepersonI can already see flaming in the forum about that :)
12:36:41amiconnI doubt that it will get annoying. We do this on archos recorders for years...
12:37:07Bagderjustsomeperson: users will complain no matter what we change, that's not a reason to not change
12:37:25 Part criis
12:37:25linuxstbI agree - let's take this one step at a time. amiconn's patch is a much better basis for whatever we may want to change in the future.
12:37:26justsomepersonfirst users ask for a feature for several months, then they get it for couple of days and then it gest taken away :)
12:37:32LinusNyou just switch between complaining crowds
12:37:36Bagderjustsomeperson: I disagree
12:37:46Bagderjustsomeperson: they mostly wanted the previous behaviour removed
12:37:49leftrightI honestly dont expect the bass/treble to change if I fiddle with the volume,
12:37:50Bagderand this still has that removed
12:38:19justsomepersonnot a single user complained about new options I did... but whatever...
12:38:19Bagderand again: users will whine no matter
12:38:46Bagderjustsomeperson: you haven't been around here enough then!
12:39:31justsomepersonI haven't, but the option now is very customizable, however I do agree that internally it looks ugly...
12:39:38leftrightprevent clipping appears twice in different menu's why, do they do the same thing
12:41:02Bagderjustsomeperson: yes, but the existance of the option itself is also a problem
12:41:08leftrightI prefer the tradtional "audiophile method of volume control, which I can control
12:41:16justsomepersonbut all user sees is the ability to do whatever he wants - app level options do make more sense though, I agree
12:41:53justsomepersonleftright: which is why OFF option should be always there
12:42:18justsomepersonbadger: why option is a problem ?
12:42:45Bagderwe have too many
12:42:52justsomepersonso what ?
12:43:05Bagderso users are confused, can't find them, can't understand them
12:43:20justsomepersonif you worry about user-friendliness - half of the option should be removed...
12:43:23Bagderwe fight hard to limit the amount
12:43:55justsomepersonits a personal choice what do you want to change
12:43:55Bagderwell, we certainly don't improve usability by adding more
12:44:08BagderI mean, if avoidable
12:44:17leftrightjustsomeperson: a lot of the confusion appeard because no-one knew/understood what your menu options did, and the wiki wasn't updated

12:45:14LinusNi don't like that idea
12:45:17preglowanyway, a general prevend clipping option would be nice
12:45:26justsomepersonit will hide all tricky options from newbie if you don't want to see them

12:45:34Bagderso what is a "tricky" option?

12:47:25Bagderjustsomeperson: there are currently several threads on exactly that topic going on
12:47:48justsomepersonyes, but that's basic functionality - clipping is not one of them...
12:47:55LinusN"why not use the xxx button to do yyy instead?"
12:48:17LinusNall users have different opinions on what basic functionality is
12:48:26justsomepersonlike I want radio to be accesible in one click is a valid request for instance...
12:48:37BagderI don't think you've been around long enough to make such general statements about rockboc users
12:48:37justsomepersonwhile the same don't applyfor clipping
12:49:02XavierGrthat's why TiMiD wanted to make a full configurable button map and menu positions! :p But that is way too difficult and tricky

12:50:10amiconnpreglow: Well, if we assume worst case: 24 dB of bass boost together with +12 dB of some eq band means reducing volume by 36 dB
12:50:18amiconnThat's too quiet even for my taste
12:50:19preglowamiconn: don't reduce volume, just clip bass
12:50:43preglowamiconn: i think volume should always be the last thing to be capped
12:50:50LinusNme too
12:50:51preglowmore bass doesn't matter to me if the volume is lowered as an effect
12:50:55justsomepersonme too
12:51:18LinusNlet's cite fletcher-munson or whatever they were called
12:51:28amiconnReduceing the bass is possible... (when indicated properly) ... but how would you do this for the EQ
12:51:59preglowamiconn: exactly like that? if the volume is 0dB and someone tries to amplify, then hell no if you've got "prevent clipping" on
12:52:19preglowthe eq will come with a preamp so you can fix the levels
12:52:28amiconnAt 0 dB volume there is no problem, but at slightly lower values there is
12:53:04amiconnEQ band and hardware treble/bass might be additive or not, depending on which bands they act on
12:53:26preglowahh, indeed, again, we'll pretty much have to assume worst case
12:53:33preglowassume they overlap and prevent it
12:53:44amiconnE.g. 12 dB of bass boost + 12 dB of lowest EQ band mean a maximum boost of 24 dB
12:53:58preglowi don't think "prevent clipping" is an option for people who would dislike such behaviour anyway
12:54:16amiconn...but 12 dB of bass boost and +12 dB of highest EQ band mean a maximum of 12 dB
12:54:24preglowyou use "prevent clipping" if you want to avoid clipping at all costs
12:54:32linuxstbDoes it make sense to enable both the software and hardware EQs together?
12:54:40preglowwell, perhaps
12:54:44amiconnIt might
12:54:47preglowi don't know what the hardware eq filters looks like
12:54:52preglowthey might be one pole shelving filters
12:54:59preglowin which case they'll sound slightly different than mine
12:55:07amiconnTreble boost range is rather low on the UDA
12:56:18linuxstbFrom a user's point of view, it could be confusing to have bass settings in two different places.
12:56:29Bagdertrue
12:57:05preglowindeed
12:57:06XavierGrWe can always say to them RTFM!!!
12:57:10preglowso do you suggest we leave the uda ones out?
12:57:17preglowthey're still useful, since they take no cpu
12:57:17LinusNi would
12:57:23preglowi kind of would
12:57:30preglowbut like i said, they're free, no extra battery required
12:57:33preglowand that's a good point on a dap
12:57:38linuxstbI would prefer them to both be adjustable on the same screen.
12:57:54Zak1392see ya guys
12:57:55LinusNhow does it work in the original firmware=
12:57:57LinusN?
12:58:00preglowLinusN: that's all they have
12:58:02preglowLinusN: the uda ones
12:58:16Bagderand then the SRS stuff etc
12:58:18linuxstbSo somehow combine the software and hardware EQ settings - but I've no idea how.
12:58:21XavierGrno
12:58:23amiconnpreglow, LinusN: Perhaps make them selectable?
12:58:27preglowbut yeah, if we put the uda ones in the eq screen, then the proper ones wont really make sense for most users
12:58:29XavierGryes
12:58:31 Quit Zak1392 ()
12:58:40amiconnIf EQ is enabled, only use EQ, else use UDA treble/bass
12:58:48LinusNdon't they have those silly Jazz, Rock presets? Are they just uda settings?
12:58:56Bagderyes, I vote for the selectable approach
12:58:58preglowyou can choose
12:59:00Bagderuse either one
12:59:05preglowbut yeah, selectable approach sounds good
12:59:07LinusNamiconn: makes sens
12:59:09LinusNe
12:59:36preglowbut yeah
12:59:43preglowsoftware eq will introduce a volume control
12:59:48preglowwill this fit better some place else?
12:59:54preglowi don't think so
13:00
13:00:03amiconnpreglow: Why?
13:00:15amiconnMy idea is as follows:
13:00:29preglowbecause eqs usually have them
13:00:35preglowpeople expect them
13:00:35 Part leftright
13:00:57preglowand they might be nice if you want to do some manual prescaler action
13:01:03amiconnThe EQ needs to scale down the whole signal by the same value as the highest boost in one band, to prevent clipping
13:01:24preglowyes, the good old prescale/postscale thing
13:01:32amiconnThis can be auto-corrected by boosting the main volume, like it's done for the UDA/MAS3507 presclaer now
13:02:14amiconnThe EQ just needs a way to tell it that it should reduce prescaling, to avoid global volume cap
13:03:22preglowbtw: now that we will have an extra software gainer, it becomes possible with amplitudes higher than 0dB
13:03:42preglowi think it should be possible to have higher gains than 0dB if "prevent clipping" is not enabled
13:03:54preglowhmm, or that might not be the correct way
13:04:07preglowit'd be too unobvious that 0dB isn't the "real" maximum
13:04:46amiconnIt's no different from the treble/bass boost as I see it
13:05:06preglowno, it is no different
13:05:18amiconnThe only difference is that you can apply positive gain values to all EQ bands
13:05:51 Quit justsomeperson ("CGI:IRC")
13:05:52preglowbut about this software gainer thing, am i the only one that wants to be able to digitally amplify the signal?
13:05:56amiconn...but that doesn't change the meaning of the main volume control, imho.
13:05:57preglowi've got some albums that are really quiet
13:06:13amiconnReplaygain does in fact the same
13:06:32preglowdoes what? gain the signal?

13:07:22preglowwhich again does only work for files that are tagged with replaygain, which almost none of my files are
13:09:29amiconnSame here, as I don't use replaygain
13:09:40markunreplaygain is nice
13:09:40preglowi'd plain and simple just like to be able to use positive db values, just like on some of the archoses, with the software gain taking action once you go over 0dB

13:31:33linuxstbHe's added a _lot_ of assembler to the decoder - possibly too much IMO.
13:31:37preglowcertainly, gimme a sec
13:31:48preglowhow does it perform as it is?
13:32:16linuxstbIt's extremely fast already. Only a tiny boost with the CPU at 24MHz IIRC
13:32:53XavierGrNow THAT is totally strange.
13:33:03preglowhe also does a ton of c based opts
13:33:17XavierGrPlugin-Api didn't got boost those days right?
13:34:01XavierGrMy old compiled jpeg.rock (with same plugin verion) half-worked.
13:34:14preglowlinuxstb: have you/he tested this? i can't even find the macsr init
13:34:20XavierGrIt could display the pics and load picures while playing music.
13:34:44XavierGrBut it couldn't scroll pictures. I recompiled it and all is fine. But why this happened?
13:35:38linuxstbpreglow: He's tested it, but I haven't. He also said he can't find any SHN files using LPC compression - so that part is untested. I'm not sure if the other parts even use the EMAC.
13:36:15 Part leftright
13:37:37preglowi'd also love to know what performance improvement we'll see
13:37:43preglowcouple of notes you can relay/fix, whatever: 1. macsr needs to be initalised 2. i don't like the mcd5249_ prefix, use emac_ or something instead
13:38:39preglowman, this patch will really remove us from the ffmpeg code base
13:40:29preglowbtw, the suggestion about different peak meter colours sounds decent. i'd love to see more use of grayscales/colours
13:44:01linuxstbpreglow: Yes, the patch does make it very different from the original decoder. I think I'll ask the author to reduce the number of changes to just those that make a significant speed improvement. I'll mention your notes as well.

14:14:51linuxstbLinusN: Thinking about the RTC, do you have any preferences for implementing it on the H300? You suggested either disabling interrupts during the read or reading it from an interrupt.
14:16:03markunShall I throw in some unicode fonts or do it in the next commit?
14:17:26LinusNlinuxstb: i think it doesn't matter, so do it with disabled interrupts
14:17:57LinusNhowever, it might be a good idea to read one byte at a time and enable the irq in between

14:45:35Bagderthat's the uncompressed size
14:45:53Bagderit compresses it fine down to 127000
14:47:27markunBagder: it still shows the error?

14:48:04Bagdersince it now isn't really an error
14:48:08Bagdermore an information

14:52:19markunalso in the codecs there are big tables in .h files..

14:52:55LinusNyes, but we try to not modify the codecs, to be able to patch them
14:53:20LinusNmarkun: no, but it's generally a bad think to declare data or code in a .h file

15:12:02lostlogicwow, rock on.
15:12:39preglowred build
15:12:58preglowa nice one at that :-)
15:13:14Bagderregion IRAM is full
15:13:27LinusNbah
15:13:29preglowdoes bootloader even _USE_ iram?
15:13:34preglowi thought it only used it internally
15:13:41lostlogicpreglow: I've fixed several ugly bugs in my profiling stuff, but now I'm stuck on recursion breaking timing.
15:13:43LinusNit runs entirely in iram
15:13:54preglowyes, exactly
15:14:22preglowlostlogic: oh?
15:14:57*linuxstb wonders why the ipod bootloader still is OK
15:15:26tucozNow that the space issue is solved, what do you think of linuxstb's solution to have user configurable menus (.menu-files)? I have been using that for a while.
15:15:28lostlogicpreglow: yeah, in order to time individual functions right, I remember each function's parent as I descend... recursion causes breakage.
15:16:27markundamn, the bootloaders..
15:16:52preglowtucoz: i'd like something like it, but i don't think that particular solution is very elegant
15:16:55LinusNunicode.o takes a huge amount of ram
15:17:41tucozpreglow, I think it is quite elegant, but it does force the user to have a certain directory structure which is perhaps not that nice.
15:17:47preglowtucoz: exactly
15:17:59preglowplus, it breaks if you change language
15:18:06preglowyou need to rename everything
15:18:24tucozah, that was the problem. Right. Ok, I then I am with you on that one.
15:18:30Bagdermarkun: unicode.c needs some code policing

15:27:24ep0ch|how did the user configurable menus work again? you have one file in a directory for each menu item? or one plain text file in a directory file that contains a list of all the menu items?
15:28:08LinusNwhat configurable menus?
15:29:08 Join hshah [0] (n=hshah@shahassociates.plus.com)
15:29:15tucozep0ch|, the menu-files work as shortcuts to for instance "General settings". I.e. you place a "General settings.menu" in your root, and when you select that file you are sent to "general settins"
15:29:24linuxstbLinusN: This patch (by me) - http://www.davechapman.f2s.com/rockbox/menu_files.diff.gz
15:29:32linuxstb(it's a few weeks old but will probably still apply)
15:29:56tucozep0ch|, or "Browse plugins.menu" or whatever.
15:29:58LinusNwhy gzipped?
15:30:06hshahnow when is that TiMiD going to commit my WPS?
15:30:30ep0ch|hmm so its not possible to rearrange the menu? i.e. they will always be alphabetical?
15:31:07LinusNmy browser doesn't unpack .gz files automatically, so i can't review the patch online
15:31:24linuxstbLinusN: I'll fix it for you...
15:31:37tucozep0ch|, unfortunately not :\
15:31:45linuxstbLinusN: Fixed.
15:32:20tucozBut, as preglow said. It breaks if language is changed.
15:33:03ep0ch|and as he said it would mess with my direcotory structure
15:33:19linuxstbI've never thought of this patch as the _only_ way to customise menus. Just one way. Personally, I like having some things integrated into my directory structure.
15:33:42LinusNand it strcmp's all the strings in the language array
15:34:06preglowouch
15:34:07linuxstbLinusN: So? It doesn't need to be efficient.
15:34:21linuxstbAs long as it reacts immediately to the user's button press - which is does.
15:34:23LinusNjust feels...brutal :-)
15:34:35tucozep0ch|, no it will not mess with you directory structure. It is in a way more usefull if you organize your root like "Browse Music", "Browse Data", "General Settings" etc.
15:34:56linuxstbLinusN: Yes, but brutal is sometimes good :)
15:35:36ep0ch|i think one text file in '.rockbox/' called something like 'root.menu' would be good idea. And when you hit previous in the file system root this file creates the root menu, i'm finding it difficult to explain
15:35:48tucozYou could have a "Settings"-folder, where you keep the settings.menu files
15:36:17ep0ch|tucoz: i like my root directory holding all my artists
15:36:46LinusNi must say that it's quite a nice and simple approach
15:37:07XavierGrspeaking of it I must update Greek.lang and correct some mistakes....
15:37:21tucozep0ch|, then this solution is not good for you. But, if you look at the root of the player as not really the root, and instead keep you music root under "Browse Music", then you get the point.
15:37:30ep0ch|yeah
15:37:32linuxstbI think I worked it out that the code impact was about 160 bytes, plus about 20 bytes for each supported menu item. (on Coldfire)
15:37:34ep0ch|i may try that
15:37:48ep0ch|but ordering of the menu is a problem
15:37:54tucozep0ch|, true
15:37:57preglownah
15:38:04preglowcould just include order in the filename
15:38:09preglow1-Sound Settings.menu
15:38:10ep0ch|1. 2. 3. etc
15:38:33preglowlanguage is a bigger issue
15:38:35ep0ch|ugly imho
15:39:25linuxstbpreglow: I agree. But how many users would use both this feature and frequently change languages?
15:40:20preglowwho would do that at all
15:40:24preglowit's not a big issue

16:02:58linuxstbep0ch|: Yes, that patch doesn't include FM radio. Just a minute...
16:03:03ep0ch|:) cool
16:03:07preglowand shouldn't the filename be kanjii, btw? :)
16:03:24ep0ch|but shouldn't .fmr files be associated with the radio somehow?
16:04:10XavierGrabout fmr
16:04:17markunpreglow: I'll take a look at it. The filename could be in kanji yes :)
16:04:25XavierGrIn my previous patch fmr files could trigger the radio and load the fmr preset.
16:04:44ep0ch|ahhh thats what i was used to i think

16:08:19MoosSlaute markun :)
16:08:27Moosoops Salute
16:08:40Moosbegining to be dislexique??? :)
16:09:32markunHm, I'm messing things up with my latest commit :(
16:09:42pregloware ye now
16:10:11linuxstbep0ch|: (with FM Radio): http://www.davechapman.f2s.com/rockbox/menu_files.diff
16:10:13markunwill the be a build for every commit?
16:10:59linuxstbmarkun: A build is started every 60 seconds, if needed. Each build includes all changes since the last build (IIUC)
16:11:33ep0ch|linuxstb: cheers, the configurable menu is pretty neat actually :)
16:12:14webguest28is it possible to write capital letters with the morse-code input?
16:12:16Paul_The_NerdIs there anything special I need to do for the unicode support to function properly? Like, the unicode.txt that had been linked to in here yesterday, it does not display correctly on rbx.
16:12:21tucozhmm, I get an error on when trying to build the h120 sim. on arabjoin
16:12:39markuntucoz: yes, I broke it
16:12:41markundamn
16:12:43tucoz:)
16:13:17preglowwebguest28: you could ask slasheri to add a toggle for caps
16:13:27preglowmakes we want to learn morse code, this
16:13:45 Part tucoz ("Leaving")
16:20:01markunlinuxstb: is the previous build aborted?
16:20:13linuxstbmarkun: No.
16:20:32markunPaul_The_Nerd: I just added unifont.bdf. It should display all the strings in unicode.txt
16:20:34linuxstbA new build only starts when the previous one finishes.

16:49:56BBubare you in scanning mode?
16:50:12BBubif not, hold play >1 second
16:50:13webguest80?
16:50:33webguest80I'm not refering to auto scan, but Manual scan
16:50:43preglowdoes it say 'mode: scan'
16:50:44preglow?
16:51:09webguest80it says mode preset
16:51:18preglowthen press and hold play
16:51:22preglowthen try again
16:51:25BBublike i said :P
16:51:43webguest80the morse code key thingy comes up
16:52:27BBubnot on my iriver
16:52:50preglowthen you're doing something wrwong
16:52:54preglowenter radio screen
16:52:58preglowpress play for a second
16:53:01preglowPLAY
16:53:02preglownot a/b
16:53:07preglowthen it should switch to mode: scan
16:53:41BBuband play is in this case not the joystick-button, but the one on the left side of the player
16:53:49webguest80I have done exactly that and it says, "no presets"
16:53:58preglowyou're not pressing play
16:54:05preglowyou're pressing select
16:54:08preglowyou need to press play
16:54:20webguest80and it has know lockedup, yippee

16:56:27preglowwebguest80: top right button
16:56:30preglowwith the play symbol
16:56:40preglowyou keep that pressed until it says 'mode: scan'
16:56:52preglowshould just need a half second or something
16:57:05ep0ch|good job the morse code screen has a lookup table on screen :)
16:57:28preglowep0ch|: yeah, that's a real life saverf
16:57:30Moosep0ch: very fine for who want to learn it :)
16:57:38linuxstbYes, I was about to ask for that, but then saw it was already there...
16:57:46webguest80ok, now I have it, I was too quick with the play button, thanks gents
16:57:46ep0ch|yes gives me something to do on the train :)
16:57:56Mooshehe :)
16:58:06Mooslot of plugins too ;)
16:58:23ep0ch|would be even better if another button could be used other than joystick, pressing the joystick is tiring ;)
16:58:57Moosthe irivers joystick isn't very good pitty
16:59:04Moos*are'nt
16:59:20webguest80the trick is to press and hols the Play buttin for >=.5sec
16:59:35ep0ch|really?
16:59:43BBub[16:50:18] <BBub> if not, hold play >1 second <- ;)

17:02:33webguest80I didn't think that the play button had two functions, pause and mode select, stopped looking after I saw it did pause
17:04:02ep0ch|hmm a sortof problem with the user menus is you must have the display filetype to "supported".
17:04:50webguest80and the side play button should perhaps be referred to the "pause"button, technically h140 has two play buttons, just my .02c
17:04:53ep0ch|i changed it by mistake and wondered where all the menus went
17:06:52ep0ch|i think "play" should be known as "play" and the joystick button known as "select", but i don't have 0.2c.
17:07:38webguest80yes but jotstick has 5 different select positions
17:07:57webguest80where press = play
17:08:16ep0ch|eh? it has one select button and 4 directions :p

17:23:17webguest87hi there guys! just want to say how amazing rockbox is and how much i appreciate your volunatry work :D
17:24:21chopped_pork:DDDDD unicode
17:25:06webguest87Oh, and i was just wondering, I have just aquired an iriver which was completly water damaged (everything corroded) but amazing the HD worked, and bdecause i had a spare mainboard i was able to get this working (still not sure on teh abttery) ANYWAY! what is the LCD screen for the iriver h100 series? model number would be great !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
17:25:23preglowi don't think it's that easy
17:25:23webguest87i REALLY need this :(
17:25:33ep0ch|forgive me for being so ignorant, but what is so good about unicode?
17:25:49preglowep0ch|: 1. you can forget about code pages, 2. it supports all languages
17:26:19Paul_The_NerdOkay, I was bored, so now there's a .zip of the FMPresets page with each city in its own FMR, organized under a friendly directory structure.
17:27:13webguest87hello? sorry to be annoying but i reall have searched the web for hours trying to find replacement LCDs for my H120, i just thougt that with you guys writing drivers for the hting you'd at least know what LCD it was?
17:27:14markunep0ch|: you can use the same fonts for different language files
17:28:11ep0ch|okayyy so you need unicode compatible fonts?
17:28:31linuxstbwebguest87: Have you looked at the Rockbox Wiki? http://www.rockbox.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/IriverPort

17:31:13webguest87thankyou very much, didnt see that lol!
17:31:26preglowstill
17:31:30preglowi don't think it'll be easy to get
17:31:49linuxstbI'm curious, does anyone _not_ use the dircache?
17:31:56preglowamiconn :>
17:32:03linuxstbObviously :)
17:32:13preglowbut no, i can't live without it
17:32:19*amiconn doesn't like the dircache
17:32:43linuxstbI'm just thinking it should be enabled by default, now that it's proved itself. (assuming it has)
17:32:44amiconnI'd say 90% of the time the dirscan is done for nothing
17:33:12amiconn...since I moften just connect the player to my car stereo, power on & resume
17:33:35markunI like dircache
17:33:41preglowi believe i actually save battery using it
17:33:45preglowi browse pretty much
17:34:00Bgeri like it too
17:34:07amiconnApart from that, only 1 of my 5 rockboxes has dircache
17:34:14markunI have all my music on my iriver and browse a lot when I try to decide what I want to listen to
17:34:18amiconn...and it's still one of the lesser used
17:34:29preglowwasn't someone going to test dircache on an archos?
17:34:31*amiconn still uses recorder v1 most of the time
17:34:49amiconnYes, me, but that's definitely for testing only
17:35:00preglowyeah, but did it work?
17:35:07amiconnI did not yet try it
17:35:14preglowright
17:35:31amiconnIt might be of some use for those who applied the 8 MB mod
17:35:42preglowyou can't fit more than 8 megs?
17:35:47amiconnNope

17:43:30Bgerwebguest08?? march 1994 ?
17:43:56ep0ch|ahead of its time then :)
17:44:27webguest08lol probably
17:44:59webguest08i thought was same as h1x0's except a smaller version but apparently it was the granddaddy coming even before those
17:46:07amiconnLinusN: Something is still wrong with the h100 bootloader. h120 is okay
17:46:50webguest08http://www.rockbox.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/IriverInfo at the bottom is the pics i uploaded a while ago of igp
17:49:06preglowfebs has done a lengthy port on the mailing list
17:49:10preglowgotta say i pretty much agree with him
17:49:32preglows/port/post/
17:50:26webguest08last time i spoke on irc about this, i asked if igp was possible considering that rockbox still supports those little archos flash players and ami said should be easy because technology is basically same as h1x0. has anything changed this?
17:51:10preglowwebguest08: not much, no
17:51:18preglowjust need to find someone to do it
17:51:24preglowi think linus has his hands full
17:51:51markunamiconn: for the player? I don't know enough about japanese to decide if it's useful
17:52:59webguest08k well i dont mind. i think he mentioned a problem in that no firmware was available but that going through some port or something (same as how he messed around with h1x0 originally) he would be able to get it
17:53:45webguest08im just happy to send it. even if nothing is done, it will be worth a look hardware-wise probably
17:54:00webguest08and in any case what am i gonna do with 2 igps :)
17:54:52preglowyou write all japanese with katakana, i think
17:55:27linuxstbwebguest08: Do you know the basic details about the hardware, such as which CPU it uses? Also, is the firmware upgradeable in the same way as the H1xx/H3xx?
17:55:44webguest08well coldfire same as h1xx
17:56:06webguest08firmware upgrade option is in there but no extra firmware upgrades were released to my knowledge
17:56:51webguest08or iriver america may of been doing one but igp was phased out before it got finished or they withheld it knowing it was being phased out
17:57:25webguest08screen is identical to h1x0 and so is the gui

21:39:17_FireFly_markun where in the cvs-tree should the codepages be

22:36:00amiconnI'm a bit undecided...
22:36:14amiconnIt seems to have support from most other devs
22:36:22Moosamiconn: please do :)
22:36:35amiconnI would also like to commit it before my language file cleanup
22:36:56_FireFly_and the missing remote-settings what about these ??
22:37:07amiconnI should at least write a reply in my own thread
22:37:17amiconn...but I can't decide which mail to reply to
22:37:20leftrightwell lenox's options does have a off feature, which I understand is similar to your mod, why nit refine his patch
22:38:23Moosamiconn: your first one?
22:38:33amiconnThe main points are that (1) it has too many options. Scaling back volume doesn't make much sense, and scaling back the non-current adds even more confusion
22:38:51amiconnJust off and scaling back bass/treble might make sense
22:38:54leftright?me puts hands in air and gives up
22:39:13amiconn(2) It does it the wrong way, behind the scenes
22:39:41amiconnThe good thing with switching to dB for volume is that a prevent clipping option is possible without much knowledge about the dac
22:40:02*leftright nods and agrees with everything amiconn says
22:40:11Mooshere too :)
22:40:27amiconnSo 'prevent clipping' can be implemented at the app level, uniform for all platforms and with proper indication
22:41:09_FireFly_iirc if the volume is >0db then clipping is possible
22:41:14amiconnNo.
22:41:44amiconnClipping is possible if current_volume + MAX(bass_boost, treble_boost) > max_volume
22:41:59amiconnSince all values will be in dB, this is simple...
22:42:07Moosyeah indeed
22:42:07_FireFly_ah ok

23:02:01amiconnThere are two lcd types
23:02:16amiconnThe newer type has katakana built-in
23:02:16LearAh, you mean the 8 "soft-char" ones...
23:02:22amiconnyes
23:02:27LearOh...
23:02:46LearBut even greek, at eight (or four) chars at a time... Is it really useful?
23:03:18amiconnhttp://www.rockbox.org/docs/rocklatin.html
23:03:45BagderLear: remember that amiconn is slightly insane ;-)
23:04:07amiconnLear: The thing is that quite some greek and cyrillic characters look the same (or almost the same) as latin characters
23:04:47amiconnI 'just' need to extend the dynamic remapping which is already there to support almost full latin1
23:04:56LearHm... Maybe they do... Haven't really looked closely at that.
23:05:06Bagderfixed configure
23:06:34LearIf you feel like some more code policing, there's a small thing in mpeg.c... C98 variable declaration. :)
23:07:21amiconnNot only in mpeg.c ...
23:07:39Bagderyou mean mixed with code?
23:07:40linuxstbLear: I've looked at that bit of code you mentioned, and I think the w and h vars can just be removed completely, and NULL passed to the lcd_getstringsize() functions.
23:07:51LearExactly, done like that in playback.c.

23:11:12Bagderthe question is, should we remain C89 compatible or not?
23:11:43CassandraSo this new unicode support - does convbdf read unicode values from the bdf fonts?
23:12:02CassandraBagder, can't think of a good reason why we should.
23:12:05amiconnBagder: It looks more clean most of the time, but with a lot of ifdefs it might be different
23:12:16CassandraDoesn't really gain us anything in terms of portability, does it?

23:12:52Jungti1234http://jungti1234.netcci.net/iriver/h300/rockbox/12.JPG
23:13:13amiconnI mean, if there are a lot of ifdefs, it might help readability to allow C99-style declarations
23:13:17Jungti1234Why does error happen?

23:13:26BagderI'm with you now, misunderstood
23:13:27t0masfeature proposal: sleep mode
23:13:29amiconnThat's the reason for them in sound.c afaics
23:13:29CassandraBagder, well techically I think making it compile without warnings under gcc does more for practical portability.

23:13:55t0masor make it beep after the song, wait 20 secs for a button... and then shutdown
23:13:59Bagderamiconn: that's very often easily fixed with just a pair of { and } in the right place
23:14:00t0masideal for podcast listening etc
23:14:04Cassandrat0mas, it's already there. It's called "idle timer".
23:14:18t0masyeah, but the beep idea might be usefull...
23:14:42t0masand with "skip to next dir" on it never gets idle

23:15:11CassandraYou see, this is why we should never have bowed to pressure and included "skip to next dir".
23:15:12amiconnIt will announce the current file after returning to the browser
23:15:38CassandraI don't think it's a good idea, t0mas. Seems like extra complexity for little to no gain.
23:15:54t0masyeah, it is possible to disable the skip to next thing...
23:15:57t0masand then use the idle timer
23:16:01amiconnWake-up timer will be more useful imho
23:16:04CassandraBut that's just a personal opinion.
23:16:12*t0mas is still thinking about this...

23:16:21t0masmaybe a beep every 10 minutes, and a button to press to keep it on
23:16:23Jungti1234Can no one help me?
23:16:33t0masit would make listening to audio books in bed so much easier
23:16:34amiconnFeasibility depends on how low we can get the power consumption
23:16:41t0mas(sleeptimer never gets my sleep time right :))
23:17:12amiconnWake-up timer is on my todo list
23:17:18t0masamiconn: on iriver we can get quite low iirc... someone checked how long it could run w/o disk at 11 mhz...
23:17:21leftright:)
23:17:31t0masif we even disable the screen it would be even longer
23:17:39amiconnCassandra: Yes, we have it on archos fmr/v2, and v1 with mod

23:18:27CassandraJungti1234, not sure - I assume you're using Bluechip's Windows dev kit? That's kind of a black box for us, I'm afraid.
23:18:28t0masthen it will last until the next snowstorm
23:18:32t0mas(in Holland at least :P)
23:18:43amiconnt0mas: I plan to do more. Put lcd in power-save, run timer code in IRAM only and put SDRAM to sleep, and even run _lower_ than 11 MHz if that helps saving power
23:18:59amiconnOh, and the tick interval will be reduced to 1 Hz while sleeping
23:19:00t0mascan we get < 11?
23:19:04amiconnYes
23:19:14t0masI tought disabling PLL was as low as we could get
23:19:17Cassandraamiconn, Ah, so you're thinking of implementing software RTC for H100?
23:19:22amiconnIf my calculations were right, we can get down to 6.25 MHz
23:19:33CassandraIf so, it gets my vote, for whatever my vote's worth.
23:19:44CassandraI'd considered doing it myself.
23:19:52t0masCassandra: so have I
23:19:59amiconn...but that needs the PLL, so it might be running at 11 MHz saves more power, because it allows to disable the PLL
23:20:18Jungti1234Cassandra: What meaning is it?
23:20:25t0masamiconn: I can lookup some things I've already tried... so you can focus on the cpu speed and IRAM exec thing
23:20:33amiconnCassandra: No RTC, just a wake-up timer
23:21:29amiconnI think a delay of 1 day or more is possible without running out of power
23:21:33CassandraThat's not so good, amiconn. It's kind of hard to use in conjunction with the sleep timer.

23:33:47t0mashm
23:34:17t0masBagder? About 'The volume issues'... isn't it possible to calculate where the volume stops getting higher
23:34:22t0masand to make the setting stop there?
23:34:41_FireFly_linuxstb: it can be found here : home.arcor.de/s.wezel/wrap-int-fix.patch
23:34:55t0masso people notice that with bass boost on +20 the volume setting doesn't go any higher than (for example) 70
23:35:00amarjust want to check; when programming for rockbox, you can't use floting point/real numbers
23:35:03Bagdert0mas: I leave the audio magic to amiconn and preglow, they master those areas far better than I do
23:35:23t0masit's more of an interface thing :)
23:35:36Bagderamar: correct
23:35:39t0masmakeing the setting stop at 70% is that's what we're limiting it too in a lower level...
23:35:45linuxstb_FireFly_: Do you need someone to commit it, or do you have CVS access? (I've lost track now)
23:35:46t0masthen it's clear what's happening..
23:35:54Bagderamar: you _can_ in fact use floats since they are emulated, but there's a huge penalty
23:36:30amarand another piont, if you do Int1/int2, it rounds to the nearist integer?

23:37:14linuxstbI always thought it did "floor" ?
23:37:16Bagderit doesn't round at all
23:37:21Bagderme no thinking

23:38:02_FireFly_linuxstb: the patch won't be compile because some macros gots deleted i will make a new-one
23:38:03amarso it rounds down to the nearest integer
23:38:09Bagdernot nearest
23:38:20Bagderit cuts off any "decimals"

23:39:00_FireFly_amar: eg when the result of a calculation is 5.9234 then only the 5 will be saved in an integer var

23:39:57t0masthat got me once calculating prices...
23:40:18t0massometimes you have to calculate in the right order

23:40:53linuxstbAnd then you get overflow problems...
23:41:14t0masnot with reasonable prices ;)
