01:34:48Benacoola little question ;-) ... do the playback speed is supposed to be on the H300 builds ?
01:37:07LinusNhuh?
01:37:22Benacoolwhat ?
01:37:35LinusNi didn't understand your question
01:37:37Benacoolmy english is so bad ??
01:37:40Benacoolok ;-)
01:38:14LinusNyou want to change the playback speed on the h300?
01:39:12Benacoolthe playback speed control ... is it on the h300 too now ?
01:39:18LinusNyes
01:39:19Benacoolyea it's what I meant
01:39:22Benacoolwhere ?
01:39:26Benacooli don't found it lol

01:42:44golf7you know if its possible to change the speed, but not the pitch on the h300
01:42:52golf7it might be a hardware limitation
01:43:18golf7like doesnt it have to have 2 mp3 decoders or something
01:43:40Benacoolthey are some distortion when you slow down pitch
01:44:08LinusNgolf7: it takes some serious DSP algorithms to change speed without changing pitch
01:45:25LinusNBenacool: yes, the resampling algorithm has a glitch
01:46:37markunSetting the display boolean in wps_data_load to false is claimed to fix a crash with loading WPS'
01:46:41BenacoolIt's normal (know bug) that when you hold a button for a long time that the song skip ?
01:46:41Benacoolok
01:46:57markunLinusN: do you know anything about it?
01:47:55LinusNmarkun: i saw that, yes
01:47:59markunWith grep I discovered that with this change in filetree.c the display boolean is always false now
01:48:30markunIs it used to dump the WPS on the screen after loading?
01:49:59LinusNyes
01:50:59markunIf it crashes the player maybe it should be removed, or do people find it a useful feature?
01:51:51LinusNwe should remove it
01:52:41markunok, I will then
01:53:06BenacoolLinusN: Is it normal (know bug ;-)) that when you hold a button for a long time that the music skip ?
01:53:17markunbtw what do you think about loadable keyboard layouts?
01:53:32LinusNBenacool: when does it do that?
01:53:54Benacooleverywhere
01:53:59Benacoolanywhere*
01:54:24LinusNBenacool: what makes you think that it is the actual holding of the button that is the problem?
01:54:41Benacoolyou know when you search a music file and you scrool down for exemple
01:55:03LinusNthen i believe it is the scrolling that causes it, not the holding of the button

01:56:55 Quit xmixahlx ("blah blah blah")
01:57:04Benacoolwhen i change the pitch it do teh same thing but the music skip a sec., play a sec., etc but in the browser it stops untill a sopt holding the button
01:57:17Benacoolsorry ^^'
01:57:17 Quit ts-x ("CGI:IRC (EOF)")
01:57:54LinusNit's always better to find a specific situation when it happens, so i know how to reproduce the error on my player
01:58:21Benacoolok
01:58:26LinusNi can tell you that it is the LCD update that causes it, it is currently very slow on the h300
01:58:27Benacoolso the browser is the best place to reproduce it
01:58:34Benacoolok
01:58:50Benacoolthanks ^^
01:58:56LinusNthat's also why the scrolling continues when you release the button

02:04:01golf7i dont think i can go back to the 3-4 second gap inbetween songs, im loving the crossfade
02:04:07lostlogicis there any followup I have to do after submitting the profiling patch to the sourceforge tracker?
02:05:34webguest23Hi, has anyone noticed that scrolling through files on h1xx is now not eating button events fast enough? (for me, at least). Bleeding edge from earlier today. I *think* it happened first after unicode, but am not sure.
02:05:54LinusNyes, harass the developers in this channel until we cave in and commit it
02:06:26lostlogic*giggle*
02:06:35LinusNwebguest23: it is quite likely to be because of the unicode build
02:07:03webguest23It sounded like a likely explanation
02:07:28webguest23But then, I'm not going to jump to conclusions when I really have no idea
02:07:48LinusNwebguest23: which font? is it different if you play music and if you're not?
02:08:17webguest23Hm, let me test..
02:09:19 Join XavierGr [0] (n=XavierGr@ppp41-adsl-4.ath.forthnet.gr)
02:10:38webguest23Font is 6x10
02:10:52webguest23When playing music, the music will start skipping (guessing the buffer empties)
02:11:10webguest23But the scroll will be fine.
02:11:21webguest23When not playing, the scroll will lag behind
02:11:40LinusNwow
02:11:43webguest23Seems reasonable, because of the lower cpufreq, I'm guessing?
02:12:42LinusNwell, it looks like the scroll takes too much cpu
02:13:23webguest23I'm not even using any glyphs outside of latin-1, which I set as my default codepage
02:13:56LinusNi don't think that matters
02:14:17webguest23I don't know if that would even be an issue, I'm kinda guessing those would be loaded when entering the dir?
02:15:04LinusNi think so
02:15:29webguest23It's a large dir - it filled the dir buffer at the default size
02:16:23webguest23It does not seem to happen with the default font.
02:16:31LinusNfigures
02:17:22LinusNi believe it takes slightly longer to render a font which height isn't a multiple of 4
02:17:49webguest23Let me try with a non-unicode font
02:17:53webguest23say, snap
02:18:12markunLinusN: the quickmenu is not displayed for non-latin1 users because it uses the internal font
02:19:03webguest23It's not happening with snap, but is with 6x10
02:19:08amiconnLinusN: I don't think so. The font height itself shouldn't matter at all on displays with >= 8 bit depth
02:19:27LinusNamiconn: it's h1x0
02:19:34amiconnAh
02:20:11LinusNmarkun: oops
02:20:13webguest23That doesn't seem to be it though.
02:20:24amiconnwebguest23: Do you have the remote connected?
02:20:31webguest23Nope.
02:21:22webguest23There's no noticable difference between snap and the default font. With 6x10, it's all wrong.
02:22:11webguest23unifont is no better, it seems
02:23:13markunThe quickscreen looks still ok on a H1x0 with unifont
02:23:35markunshall I change the quickscreen to use the UI font?
02:24:16amiconnIt will look all wrong on archos with any font >8 px
02:24:30amiconnIt's already tight with the default in some languages
02:24:53amiconnThe default fonts should get unicode support, I'd say
02:25:24markunsome languages like korean will never have a small font size..
02:25:45amiconn8859-1 code page part compiled in (or just ascii if we want to save some more), and the full version on disk
02:26:08amiconnThe default could be a bit larger on iriver, imho
02:28:01LinusNtime to sleep
02:28:20LinusNnite all
02:28:24 Part LinusN
02:29:42markunamiconn: happy with the addition of unicode to rockbox?
02:30:03amiconnI think it's a move in the right direction
02:30:19amiconnStill some quirks to iron out of course
02:30:32amiconn(like the default font problem)
02:30:48 Quit actionshrimp ("a bird in the bush is worth two in your house")
02:31:22amiconnI'd say we will need a method to mark possible font/language combinations, to protect users from nasty surprises
02:31:25markunyes, and educating people. Saab will write a wiki page with his experiences, I hope that lowers the number of questions
02:31:32amiconn(like a menu consisting of all spaces)
02:32:02amiconnSame goes for the built-in player 'font'
02:32:09markunyes, that would be a very useful feature.
02:32:19amiconnSome languages won't be possible there, of course
02:32:20lostlogicLinus's commit of the higher max frequency, does that work w/o a new bootloader, or will it also be in v4?
02:32:35amiconnlostlogic: No new bootloader needed
02:32:57lostlogichawt.
02:33:35markunamiconn: how do I enter the quick menu on the recorder?
02:33:55amiconnThere are 2, on F2 and F3
02:34:58markunyou were right, the quickscreen with unifont is a disaster :)
02:36:05markunWith 6x13 it's still normal.
02:37:00markunwell, almost. The lower row of pixels from the clock is gone

02:49:26XavierGrcan i use this when i compile?

03:23:22golf7cause isnt it like using some of the files
03:23:27golf7just a thought

03:23:54golf7ROLO = ????
03:24:05lostlogicrockbox loader, quick reboot basically
03:24:11golf7ahh
03:24:16golf7aight
03:24:30golf7and when i update the .rockbox folder will i have to redo all my settings?

03:26:24golf7yeah they are only 2100 but they ARE 2100
03:26:30lostlogicahhh
03:26:30golf7this one i got rockbox says is only 1300
03:26:31lostlogic*nod*
03:26:35lostlogicno no
03:26:38lostlogicyou set that
03:26:39thegeekyou have to set it
03:26:44golf7ooooo
03:26:45golf7really?
03:26:47lostlogicyar
03:26:49thegeekso that rockbox can estimate remaining time
03:26:50golf7=)
03:26:54lostlogicit can't detect the battery size
03:27:00lostlogic1300 is the stock battery
03:27:06lostlogicso it will estimate time based on stock battery
03:27:17golf7haha
03:27:18PaulJis there a setting to enable tis rolo thing? because my h320 doesnt ask if i want to reboot after i have copied the new rockboxfolder on it.
03:27:21golf7i knew that
03:27:42golf7im sure its not 2200 though
03:27:51golf7im thinking like 1700-2000 mah
03:27:52lostlogicPaulJ: I may have noticed that you have to be in the root folder when you start USB for it to work right
03:28:01lostlogicor perhaps it just detects when you load the root folder
03:28:03lostlogicnot sure which
03:28:21lostlogicgolf7: batteries always lie ;)
03:28:21webguest23The latter
03:28:23golf7ill just load the .rockbox folder with iriver firmware to be on the safe side till v4 comes out
03:28:27lostlogicwebguest23: ty
03:28:47golf7but hard drives dont, well they kinda do, haha, but 60 gigs is till 55.7 gigs
03:28:49golf7=)
03:29:13lostlogic60g = 60*10^9B != 60*2^30

03:33:01golf7=)
03:33:05golf7i modded the hell out of it
03:33:13golf7only thing left was rockbox, and now i got it
03:33:15golf7and killing it
03:33:20lostlogicgolf7: not GiB ;) GB
03:33:25golf7whatever
03:33:30golf7bigger than yours =P
03:33:45lostlogichehe, I'm not even using half as is, otherwise I'd have upgrade
03:33:46lostlogicd
03:34:13golf7i like that you can output at 0db cause i dj, and i would always have to run the iriver side of the mixer about 2-3 steps higher than the cd player side
03:34:32golf7then when i play vinyl, it is always too loud, and created a bad feedback
03:34:37golf7so that solved that problem =P

03:35:27lostlogiccan anyone suggest a good way to estimate how large a function would be after compilation?
03:35:36lostlogicgolf7: 0db on headphones!? OUCH?
03:35:41golf7even if it does, ill play with it and get it just below clipping =P
03:35:47golf7yeah, i barely could stand it
03:35:48lostlogicyarr
03:35:52golf7i stood it for like 2 secs
03:35:56lostlogichehe
03:35:57golf7i have some sony ex-51's
03:36:07golf7and i could only stand one in for like 2 seconds
03:36:08golf7hah
03:36:16golf7ive been listening at -25 db
03:36:22golf7and thats a little loud
03:36:23lostlogicget some Shures, at -40dB they'd be too loud ;)
03:36:36golf7i was debating some shure e2,3,4,5c's

03:42:29golf7however i dont think charging is implemented in h300 yet
03:42:37lostlogiccharging is done in hardware
03:42:45lostlogicanti-trickle just involves turning off the charging hardware
03:43:46golf7i was just reading the manual on the wiki and just realized it though
03:43:49golf7thats pretty cool
03:44:00golf7cause thats what ruined my other battery
03:44:04golf7i charged it ALL THE TIME
03:44:14golf7this one, no charge unless less than 50%
03:44:31golf7and only leave it on there until it gets done, then take it off charger
03:45:05lostlogicLiION doesn't like deep cycling, so charging from 50->100 is a pretty good condition for the battery, but yes, being kept at 100 is also not good.
03:46:28golf7yeah
03:46:42golf7i kept it at above 60% at all times
03:49:39webguest23I don't think Rockbox controls anything charging-related on the iriver platforms
03:50:43lostlogicah, wasn't sure if that feature was non-iriver only. my bad.
03:52:23Jungti1234hehehe
03:52:28golf7yeah
03:52:32golf7neither was i
03:52:41golf7i just read it on the manual
03:52:51golf7even if it isnt, good thing for the arcos
03:53:02webguest23Only on the Recorders, too
03:54:44webguest23markun: The playlist viewer is having issues with non-ascii characters it seems? Is this right?
03:56:08golf7ive noticed it takes a while to go back the first directory when in the filetree on rockbox
03:56:12golf7like from the WPS
03:56:22golf7hit NAVI then left
03:56:29golf7and it takes a little while
03:56:45golf7then you can go faster than iriver firmware, maybe i gotta set the hdd spin up or something
03:57:30lostlogicwhat's the difference between IDATA_ATTR and ICONST_ATTR?
03:57:39webguest23golf7: Better yet, use the directory cache
03:57:45golf7true that
03:58:14webguest23It will eat a bit of ram, but browsing is lightning fast
03:58:16golf7will it cut down on boot time?

04:12:00ShaikotenI know what you mean, that's why I stay away from coding these days :P
04:12:03golf7im gonna be so happy when i actually learn c++ and C#
04:12:14golf7cause then i will know what yall is talking bout

04:13:12lostlogic(this is the guy who programs Java all day talking)
04:13:48lostlogicso, how much of the code cache do we think I can expect vorbis to be able to hold onto?

04:18:57golf7yeah

04:24:40lostlogicXavierGr: 4 classes or so in college.
04:24:54lostlogicXavierGr: but converting to assembly isn't my first step right now.
04:25:09XavierGr4 classes you mean subjects or hours?
04:25:22lostlogic4 subjects involved assembly, 2 m68k and 2 mips
04:25:44lostlogicdoes that mean I remember it well? no.
04:26:00XavierGr2 m68k? OMG are your classes THA specific??!!!
04:26:06XavierGr^THAT
04:26:12lostlogic61k of data in the vorbis codec, what and how much should go in IRAM?
04:26:40lostlogicXavierGr: the classes weren't all about m68k assembly, they were teaching other fundamentals on m68k hardware and therefore in m68k assembly.
04:27:18XavierGrso assembly is a whole different matter on each target?
04:28:12lostlogicquite different, yes. MIPS is 3 address, small instruction set, m68k is 2 address, large instruction set

04:50:43DreamTactix291so i fought hard to find my H140
04:51:37ts-xI ran out of space and was faced with that decision
04:52:04ts-xVideo and the prospect of album art swayed me
04:52:18ts-xBut that optical out on the H1xx series is sweet
04:52:23DreamTactix291album art i'd never use
04:52:29DreamTactix291and i have a PMP for video
04:52:37DreamTactix291so i wanted to stick with the H1xx line
04:52:57DreamTactix291plus i really much prefer the design of the H1xx over the H3xx
04:53:03DreamTactix291but that's of course personal preference
04:53:51ts-xI actually like the H3xx control layout better, but I agree the form factor of the H1xx is superior
04:54:06DreamTactix291the H3xx prototypes looked a lot nicer

04:54:48DreamTactix291i know :|
04:55:28DreamTactix291the H10 probably wouldn't half as bad as it is if i had better firmware

05:06:55*ashridah nods
05:06:59ashridahgood to optimise anyway
05:07:26lostlogicI mean afterall I just spent like a week making a profiling patch for _some_ reason, I hope!
05:07:44DreamTactix291and since it's general coldfire optimisations it'll benefit more than just the H3xx
05:08:49DreamTactix291and as a Vorbis user the more optimisations the better for me
05:09:00lostlogicDT, you and me both.
05:09:25DreamTactix291it runs well on the H1xx currently

05:13:15lostlogicno code in IRAM, only DATA leaves about 12k, and is a little bit worse than what is currently in CVS.
05:13:29lostlogicDT: no need yet.
05:13:33DreamTactix291ok
05:14:14DreamTactix291this was an experimental encoder (actually two of them) made about 18 months ago i guess
05:14:35DreamTactix291they threw bits like crazy to see if that would solve some of the issues Vorbis had at the time

10:03:01SlasheriHmm, in fact on remote wps bmps do flicker considerably

10:04:43 Nick thomjoha is now known as preglow (n=thomjoha@hekta.edt.aft.hist.no)
10:05:15Slasheri_FireFly_: ah, then that is probably a problem with the lcd driver
10:05:48Slasheriit might erase the entire screen but that shouldn't be necessary
10:06:49_FireFly_Slasheri i think the "problem" is caused due the reduced transfer-speed for remote-lcd-commands
10:06:50amiconn_FireFly_: Is the flickering BMP a background image, and is/are there scrolling line(s)?
10:07:32_FireFly_amiconn no scrolling lines on the pos where the bmp is set
10:07:36Slasheri_FireFly_: yep, but why that should cause it? I can't think other reason but that the lcd is entirely cleared before redrawing it
10:07:58amiconnSlasheri: The lcd driver doesn't erase anything by itself. However, the problem might have to do with overdraw
10:08:08SlasheriAh, that's true
10:08:23amiconn_FireFly_: Is the flickering BMP located to the right of any text?
10:09:16_FireFly_the bmp is between two texts left is the volume and on the right side it's the battery-value
10:10:12_FireFly_the other side -effect of the remote-ticking fix is that the bmp gets slighty brighter when holding e.g. the vol-up button
10:12:00amiconn'Educated' guessing: An lcd_update seems to happen before the BMP is redrawn, and if the text to the left changes, this causes short periods where the bmp isn't displayed,
10:12:18amiconnso it flickers/gets brighter when the text to the left changes

10:15:21linuxstbamiconn: What was your idea for implementing background images? Are you planning on doing it?
10:15:38amiconnIt's on my list.
10:16:14amiconnMy idea is to allow to set a fullscreen background image, which replaces the background colour/shade while in effect
10:16:47amiconnIt would be handled directly in the driver, hopefully with very little overhead
10:18:53linuxstbI guess the main overhead would be the second copy of the framebuffer needed - which I assume will need to go into the slow SDRAM

14:13:22Membrillothe ipod video is pretty damn sexy, although the touchwheel has become harder to use with the new version
14:14:18saa[b_r]idermarkun: yeah, i thought so... for example, when you're at the bottom and decide to go left or right, it get's complicated
14:14:45saa[b_r]idermembrillo: I hear the click wheel is small compared to the overall size
14:15:17saa[b_r]iderI also hear that the quality of the new click wheel doesn't compare well with previous generations

14:27:45saa[b_r]iderBadger: if you're asking me, I like the UMS, drag-and-drop functionality of iRiver players...
14:27:48Bagderyou wimps, you can port it to a NEW platform! ;-)
14:28:00Bagdersaa[b_r]ider: there are many such players
14:28:13Lynx_XavierGr: is what right?
14:28:26markunThe archos gmini of my friend didn't look too bad either.
14:28:42saa[b_r]iderwell the X5 is nice and all, but some of the specs are short of the already 1 year old H340
14:28:47XavierGrthat you want a new DAP that is rockbox compatible and you can find easily to buy it.
14:29:06Bagdersaa[b_r]ider: actually I think the x5 is nicer than h3x0
14:29:13Bagderapart from the rockbox of h3x0
14:29:20Lynx_hmm, the h340 can play videos?
14:29:29LinusNa lot nicer form factor
14:30:03saa[b_r]iderBadger: the X5 looks nice, I agree very much... but the color LCD is inferior, and what's with the audio port being on the side?
14:30:16Bagdersaa[b_r]ider: inferior for what?
14:30:19XavierGrdoes X5 has a 40GB model?
14:30:24Bagderand the sound seems fine enough
14:30:51Bagdersure there are some things that aren't perfect, but what player is?
14:30:56saa[b_r]iderLynx_: yes, the h340 plays videos, but @ 10fps only, and a very specific format
14:31:21Lynx_saa[b_r]ider: ok
14:31:23saa[b_r]iderBadger: hang on, I'll check the X5's specs
14:31:32markunThe X5 only has 16MB memory, right?
14:31:47BagderI'm not sure of all the specs
14:32:05markunhttp://www.rockbox.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/IaudioX5HardwareComponents
14:32:15saa[b_r]idervery handy :)
14:32:22saa[b_r]iderthanks markun!
14:33:20markunThe USB ATA bridges can only be used for UMS right?
14:33:52Bagderyes, unless there are more fancy ones
14:34:23Bagderbut both h3x0 and x5 have separate usb host ports
14:34:24markunBecause I told the people in the Gigabeat forum to stop dreaming about USB 2.0 in the Windows Media Player mode.
14:34:37Bagdercoffee time
14:35:24XavierGrBagder: Again?
14:35:42XavierGrYou drink too much coffee!
14:35:50saa[b_r]idera man needs his fix :D
14:36:01markunThe Gigabeat cradle has a 4 port USB 2.0 hub, so I could connect a keyboard and mouse to it maybe :)
14:36:22saa[b_r]iderI never use my H340's cradle
14:37:21markunsome things on the gigabeat player are not possible without the cradle.
14:37:36Lynx_so the x5 could also be attached to a card reader?
14:37:40markunThe USB host connector and the line out are not on the unit.
14:38:00saa[b_r]iderI hate it when they do that... but it helps keep the device more compact
14:38:40markunI made a backup copy of my photos with a card reader connected to the Gigabeat.. but the software is so nice that you cannot view the pictures after transfering them!
14:39:04markunYou have to connect it to a PC and transfer the pictures to a special folder with Toshiba's special software..
14:39:24saa[b_r]iderreminds me of Sony and sonicstage
14:39:25Lynx_markun: well, that's not great but better than nothing

14:39:46Lynx_i wonder why so many cameras can't act as usb mass storage
14:40:11saa[b_r]idermarkun: it doesn't support filetree browsing does it?
14:40:14markunI have a small USB card reader in my camera bag.
14:40:19markunsaa[b_r]ider: no
14:40:21amiconnLinusN: Lately I had a look at the X5, even held it in my hands
14:40:45Lynx_markun: i don't like to swap compact flash cards in and out of the camera all the time...
14:40:57saa[b_r]ideryeah, card readers are the best way for transfering files off memory cards
14:40:57amiconnIt's a matter of personal preference, I like the H300 form factor way more than the X5
14:41:50saa[b_r]iderthe X5's LCD is just 160X128, that's what's bad about it... but badger is having coffee :)
14:42:09SlasheriLynx_: Hmm, in fact professional photographers usually have a bunch of CF cards which they use on different situations :)
14:42:22saa[b_r]iderLynx: what camera do you have? Canon?
14:42:42Lynx_saa[b_r]ider: yes, recently bought a 350d
14:43:00Lynx_Slasheri: i always think one of the little pins will break ;)
14:43:08*saa[b_r]ider checking out the 350d
14:43:21amiconnWhat I dislike about the X5 compared to the H300: (1) Side buttons. (2) Joystick (3) Bulkier at the top than at the bottom. The lower display resolution isn't relevant for me
14:43:47SlasheriLynx_: ah, i think that is very unlikely because the card is aligned very tight before it reaches the pins
14:44:23Lynx_Slasheri: i guess you're right. but aren't the cards specified for only so many insert and retrieven events?
14:44:55saa[b_r]iderI never heard that before
14:46:03SlasheriLynx_: maybe, i am not sure about that.. anyway, the connectors are gold plated so they should be able to handle many insertions before breaking. I just know that many people swap the cards regurlarly and i haven't heard yet about that kind of problems :)
14:46:25preglowme neither
14:46:29preglowthey can take quite a beating
14:46:44*amiconn wants a H3x0 now. The other options are all inferior
14:46:52Lynx_ok, so i will buy a new card reader tonight :)
14:47:04Slasherihehe :D
14:47:17Lynx_my old (aldi) one killed 2 cards, for some reason.
14:47:23saa[b_r]iderCF cards are one of the most popular memory cards, if they were vunrable, people would of reported it

14:47:34preglowcan't see a reason for buying a h3x0 when i've got my trusly h120
14:47:37preglowtRUSTY
14:48:07Lynx_amiconn: amazon germany still has 340 for 349,- euro
14:48:10*saa[b_r]ider envies H100 for optical in/out!
14:48:15amiconnSlasheri: Really? One of the two things that annoy me about the H1x0 are also present on the X5, but not on the H3x0
14:48:45Slasheriand buying a h300 for development isn't so interesting at this point because h140 is better music player for me and rockbox already works on h300 and it's discontinued also..
14:48:45amiconnThese things are one reason why I still don't use the H1x0 too often
14:49:14Slasheriamiconn: Hmm, what are those things? The joystick?
14:49:27amiconnYes, the joystick and the buttons on the sides
14:49:35Slasheriah :)
14:50:24amiconnThe H3x0 just has front buttons, as it should be :)
14:50:39Slasherihehe, then it could be a good choise, maybe :)
14:50:40preglowi don't have a preference right there
14:50:42preglowi'd want both, heh
14:50:50preglowdepends on how you're carrying it
14:52:33Lynx_does the h340 come with a remote?
14:52:52Slasheriyes, lcd-less remote i think :)
14:53:01saa[b_r]idercomes with an LCDless remote, yes
14:53:08saa[b_r]iderthe LCD remote is optional
14:53:36Lynx_ok...

15:06:06LinusNi like the fact that the x5 firmware image isn't encrypted
15:06:24Bagderthat's neat indeed
15:06:40Bagderand a very simple checksum, if the wiki is correct
15:07:03XavierGrso do you think that you can make it? It seems impossible to me to write code with a gun pointing at me that will shoot on a compiler or execution bug...!
15:07:43Bagderno risk, no fun ;-)
15:08:02XavierGrAlways the first time I compile I get like what? 40-50 errors maybe :D
15:08:29XavierGrBagder I don't know about you but I just hate taking risks...
15:08:58Bagderwell, the risk involved here is pretty mild compare to other risks really

15:16:09LinusNthe flash is bga too...
15:16:15Bagderlovely!
15:16:29lostlogicthat's how they made it so damn thin?
15:16:53amiconnThere's a H340 with LCD remote on ebay germany...
15:16:58Slasherioh, that's nice
15:17:10LinusNthe x5 pcb is incredibly small
15:17:25preglowhahah
15:17:26SlasheriLinusN: hmm, do you know if there is any traces on the pcb that connect to the bdm port pins?
15:17:32preglowbga = socket for enthusiasts
15:17:54LinusNSlasheri: doesn't look like it
15:17:59Slasheriah :/
15:18:59Slasherione way could be still to replace the bga flash chip with some sort of adapter, so you could easily program the flash by computer and then try code on the device
15:19:07XavierGrhow did they do the development themselves then?
15:19:11Slasheribut that soldering would be hard
15:19:35SlasheriXavierGr: probably they programmed the flash before soldering it on the unit
15:19:43Slasheriand of course they had a modified development device..
15:19:57XavierGrthat's more like it.
15:20:36XavierGrbut then fixing a bricked player on warranty will be impossible for them, right?
15:21:19Slasherimight be..

15:28:30LinusN(couldn't figure out how to remove the lcd, but now i have)
15:29:02LinusNthe cpu is under the lcd panel
15:29:26LinusNso i will be able to connect a bdm after all
15:29:51Bagderwimp
15:29:54Bagder;-P
15:30:59LinusNi am so impressed by how small the damn thing is
15:31:06lostlogicthere's a __attribute__ ((no_instrument_function)) so I stuck it on all of the inlines I wanted to not profile.
15:31:26lostlogicI've also made a NO_PROF_ATTR define for convenience locally, but it's not in the patch I submitted yesterday :(
15:34:21LinusNthe best part is that since it is a 52xx platform, I don't have to investigate the ATA interface
15:34:53lostlogicmmm, bootloader by guesswork! :-P
15:34:55LinusNand probably not the SDRAM or flash interface either
15:35:21LinusNwe need to find out how to program the DA202 FM tuner

16:04:19*taladan has an Archos FM Jukebox & is thinking about getting the rockbox software for it (just found out about it today), wondering how it handles playlist creation and such...stability issues...stuff like that?
16:04:31Bagderwow
16:04:41Bagdera fresh archos user, that is rare these days ;-)
16:04:54Bagdertaladan: we have lots of docs online
16:05:08Bagderrockbox has worked on Archos for many years and I'd say it is very solid
16:05:33LinusNexcept for right now, that is in the unicode turmoil
16:06:07LinusNi'd recommend installing the 2.5 release
16:07:18taladanBadger - going over the documentation right now. Distressing lack of info on how to flash the Archos (New Paragraph text goes here is all it says) but that's okay.
16:07:28taladan2.5...looking
16:08:26*taladan uses linux, so cherishes the idea of open source firmware driving his mp3 player ;)
16:08:52taladanMy biggest question is:
16:09:03XavierGrtaladan: did you get your archos now, or it has been for a long time.
16:09:27taladanIs there a way to make a playlist up while the unit is plugged into the box via USB instead of having to use the nav-keys?
16:10:04Bagderwhen plugged in to USB, rockbox can't do much
16:10:05taladanXavierGr: I've had the Archos for....4 years? Something like that. Right after Radio Shack started carrying it for the first time (Used ot work for RS)
16:10:27XavierGrpitty that you have been using default fw for so long...
16:10:45Bagderyou're up for an adventure! ;-)
16:10:49taladanBagder: So is there any way to manipulate a playlist (creation, editing and such) in linux that Rockbox will recognize & play?
16:10:57Bagdertaladan: certainly
16:11:07Bagdera playlist is just a plain text file with file names
16:11:50Bagderfind . -type f -printf "/%p\n" > playlist.m3u
16:12:20taladanBagder: Ah...so I can VI a playlist...good. What format do the names need to be in? And I'm assuming a full pathname is required with the Archos drive main folder being the root of the path
16:12:25XavierGrdoes anyone knows a good simple free hosting site?
16:12:31Bagdertaladan: correct
16:12:40XavierGrfile host I mean.
16:13:10Bagdertaladan: but you can also make them using Rockbox, in case you'd like to
16:13:15taladan*nods*
16:13:26Bagderand in comparison to the original...
16:13:27taladanwhat's the /%p\n in that command?
16:13:32Bagderrockbox _flies_
16:13:36Bagderwhen reading playlists
16:14:07_FireFly_taladan: man find ;)
16:14:09Bagdertaladan: it makes an absolute path from your local one, if you for example have your songs in /home/user/mp3 and you run the command in there
16:14:17taladanAhhhh
16:14:32taladanMakes sense
16:15:04taladan_FireFly_: Yeah, yeah, I know...but sometimes it's just quicker for me to ask the person than dig through the man pages...esp when I've got class in a bit
16:15:30_FireFly_taladan: you can search within the manpages
16:15:41taladanShhhh, don't remind me :p
16:15:49_FireFly_with shift+7 and then search-text
16:16:02_FireFly_when man-page is shown
16:16:08taladanCall it a lack of good human interaction within linux users, hence why I'm creating a LUG
16:16:10taladanhah
16:16:11taladan!
16:16:24taladanThe / lets you search ;)
16:16:30*taladan loves /
16:16:30_FireFly_yepp
16:16:57taladanI didn't realize that firefox uses / as find until yesterday either.
16:17:30_FireFly_taladan: or strg+f ;)
16:17:57*taladan chuckles
16:18:06*taladan goes back to reading documentation.
16:19:02taladanOne question: Putting the firmware on there while I've got music on the jukebox, will that mess it up in any way, or do I need to format it out with ext2/3 and then put the firmware on it first and then re-load my music up to it?
16:19:18*eli_sherer thinks it's going to be along time before a working version of his AVI player will be ready
16:19:25Bagdertaladan: it won't mess up anything
16:19:39_FireFly_taladan: rb support only fat32 as fs
16:19:40taladanAhh...kay.
16:19:47taladanreally??
16:19:52Bagderreally
16:20:23_FireFly_why support other fs when all original fws of the supported players uses also fat32
16:20:24taladanThat's good to know then. Wonder why it doesn't support ext2/3? No journalling! *weeps* ;)
16:20:37_FireFly_ext2 has no journalling ;)
16:20:44taladanyes, but ext3 does ;)
16:20:55Bagdertaladan: well, for starters you must have your player using fat or you can'r un rockbox as it is read from disk
16:20:56taladanAnd with tune2fs you can turn journalling on in ext2 ;)
16:21:00Bagder(unless you flash)
16:21:13_FireFly_taladan: then it is ext3 ;)

16:24:47Bagderspeaking menus
16:24:55Bagderand more
16:24:57taladanoooooh...for the sight impaired!
16:25:00taladanNeat as shit!
16:25:05Bagderor for using in the car etc
16:25:20*taladan has a blind friend in Atlanta that might be interested in that....
16:25:47Bagderwe have a huge blind user base
16:26:38taladanI can imagine
16:27:38taladanI don't know who wrote this software, but it does my heart good to see someone thinking of the blind like that. If you know who the maintainers are, please pass along my personal thanks to them....Man, that's awesome!

16:28:30mdeboerhi.
16:28:57taladanone note - the link to the voice files via twiki in the PDF manual seems not to exist
16:29:46preglowwho made the voice ui feature again?
16:29:48preglow[idc]dragon?
16:29:52Bagderyes
16:30:10mdeboeri just compiled rockbox from cvs, and when running in the uisimulator (on linux/x11), when i try to run a plugin (tried several), it freezes saying [Loading]
16:30:18mdeboerany idea?
16:30:30Bagdermdeboer: you did make install, right?
16:30:31preglowi think the software codec voice ui approach needs polishing
16:30:36preglowcurrently, it's very laggy
16:30:39mdeboeryes.
16:30:53mdeboerah, i see some work. logo for example. but calculator doesn't
16:31:00Bagderweird
16:31:07BagderI don't know why that would happen
16:31:33mdeboeri build for H3xx
16:32:21Bagderthen it might be a color lcd problem
16:32:29Bagderthere's no color lcd support in the x11 sim
16:32:35mdeboeri see
16:32:50mdeboerbut rockbox itself does do color lcd on the h3xx?
16:32:55Bagderyes
16:32:58mdeboercool
16:32:59Bagderits a simulator flaw
16:33:03mdeboerok.
16:33:13Bagderand only in the x11 version too
16:33:18mdeboeri see...
16:33:27mdeboeris anyone working on this problem?
16:33:34Bagdernot that I know
16:33:37mdeboerhm...
16:34:04mdeboerso the windows version does do color?
16:34:09Bagderyes
16:34:21mdeboera port to a crossplatform library would be nice...
16:34:32Bagderyes indeed
16:34:34mdeboerinstead of having to seperate versions.. SDL comes to mind...
16:34:35taladanhmmmm....this isn't good.
16:34:43taladanI just got a bunch of scsi1 (0:0): rejecting I/O to dead device

16:34:53Bagdershe is?
16:34:54taladanin dmesg and it dropped my mount....
16:34:57Bagderit would be great
16:35:01mdeboeror i might run the uisimilator under wine ;-)
16:35:17Bagdermdeboer: it is said to work pretty well
16:35:23mdeboerok.
16:35:35_FireFly_Cassandra: i don't know it correctly but she is trying code somthing with wxwindows
16:35:43mdeboerbut i suppose an sdl port would be feasible. i'll have a look at the code.
16:35:47mdeboerwxwindows... hmm.
16:36:02LinusNsdl sounds like a good solution
16:36:09preglowyeah
16:36:10taladanWeeeeeird...it's switched from sda1 to sdb1...
16:36:14taladanon its own
16:36:17preglowi've used it a quite a bit, and it works fine
16:36:19Slasherisdl should be quite universal
16:36:19taladananyone know why it would do that?
16:36:20mdeboeror maybe fltk
16:36:24preglowand is agreeable to work with
16:36:37Slasheritaladan: is battery fully charged?
16:36:37preglowwe don't need any widgets
16:36:43preglowso no need to use wxwindows or fltk, really
16:36:47mdeboerok. than sdl would be good indeed.
16:36:49taladanshould be, I left it to charge overnight
16:36:58taladanvia USB
16:37:04Bagderit would be really neat to go with a portable lib to get rid of all the win vs x11 related diffs
16:37:10mdeboerso the windows code base would be the most up to date to create an sdl port off?
16:37:14LinusNi'd love it
16:37:17taladanmy charge port is scragged on it for some reason, so it only charges via the USB now
16:37:20amiconnmdeboer: You can run the win32 simulator under wine
16:37:39Bagdermdeboer: they're pretty similar except for the color support, afaik
16:37:46Bagderuse the one most similar to the target lib api
16:37:54Bagderor both
16:37:56Bagderor none
16:37:57Bagder;-)
16:38:04mdeboer:-)
16:38:29mdeboeri'll have a look at the code, and see if i can find the time.
16:38:54mdeboeri have no SDL experience, but it would be a nice project to get some
16:39:55preglowhmm
16:40:04preglowsdl is nice
16:40:13preglowpretty fast to get into it
16:40:26mdeboeryes, i've been looking at documentation and sample code
16:41:01preglowdoes anyone know how the hell one uses scrollbars with winapi? :/
16:41:18preglowhow i hate winapi
16:41:28preglowa great big steaming turd of an api
16:42:04mdeboeryeah, i'm now looking at the uisimilator win32 code, and my stomach is revolting already ;-)
16:42:20preglowoh, i vomit regularily
16:42:31preglowit's a cleansing ritual i have when working with winapi
16:42:37mdeboernot that low level X11 is such a pleasure to look at...
16:42:42preglowno, no it's not
16:42:47preglowbut i can ignore that, since i don't need to use it

16:49:30taladanquestion...Can Rockbox be made to play files in subdirectories of the current directory?
16:49:31Slashericurrently we boost the cpu to get much higher read performance
16:49:35LinusNboosting the cpu increases the memory bandwidth, so it is still a good idea to boost

17:45:26XavierGrLinus: Is there any rule on what happens if I get a stov error?
17:45:46LinusNthen you have overflowed the stack
17:45:51XavierGrI mean what' triggers that error , what makes the stack overflow?
17:46:08LinusNeither by allocating a huge array on the stack, or by overwriting a global array
17:46:48LinusNeli_sherer: could you have a look at the rockbox bmp loader and adapt it to load color bmp.s?
17:47:00XavierGryes I have a huge array, if you remember it is on the jpeg filescroller.
17:47:55XavierGrit will show an stack overflow once I reach the 103rd file when scrolling.
17:49:32eli_shererLinusN: sure... but your bitmaps are stored in arrays and color bitmaps will need more buffer size which will slow thing down
17:50:44 Join steveb [0] (n=dave@ircguide/director/about/fish/about/uk/steveb)
17:53:34XavierGrHa I just had a brilliant idea on how to make the jpeg scroller independent from large arrays and buffers! (I will tell you just in case I am wrong)
17:55:14XavierGrWhat if... instead of storing a LARGE buffer with all jpeg filenames on memory, we will just make a temporary file (in current folder) with all filenames in there. (and a pointer to where we are in that list.)
17:55:46XavierGrThen every time the user changes file we just change the pointer and no need for big arrays. What do you think?
17:56:11XavierGrAnd we don't have to worry about performance either, on way or the other the disk will have to spin to load the picture.

19:06:10XavierGre.g I want to count a specific number of linefeeds and read that line. Is that possible with a file fucntion or I will have to load data to a buffer first?
19:07:03_FireFly_XavierGr: read_line

19:07:31XavierGrah yes I remember that from radio.c
19:08:11_FireFly_and now also in the wps_data_load fn ;)
19:08:29XavierGrso read_line synat is: file_descriptor, and the other 2 arguments?

19:20:47XavierGrwebguest76: I cant use fixed size in the entries.
19:21:00webguest76Why not?
19:21:02XavierGrThey are file names which I split with linefeeds
19:21:52webguest76Pad them with \0 instead and make each entry be the same size
19:22:01XavierGrokay lets say that I put all the strings together, then how could I extract a filename without knowing length and position on the file?
19:22:22webguest76fseek(pos*length)
19:22:28webguest76or seek
19:22:30webguest76or whatever it is
19:22:45_FireFly_webguest76: but he can't know how long a filename is
19:23:06webguest76I don't see why not, if he pads them such that each entry is the same length
19:23:26XavierGrso you are saying to make an entry padded with spaces? I will need 360 spaces
19:23:47_FireFly_that is waste of space for me
19:23:47XavierGr(worst case scenario 260 is the biggest filename possible)
19:23:48webguest76Why 360?
19:24:06XavierGr260 sorry
19:24:14webguest76Well, I'd think wasting a few kb of disk space is better than having to read through the entire file each time you skip
19:24:23XavierGrwell something less than 260
19:24:41XavierGrI will try both and see.
19:25:00XavierGrit is more easy right now to test with the readline.
19:25:07_FireFly_read_line ;)
19:25:15XavierGrbest would be to let me search for a linefeed in the file
19:25:17amiconnAcksaw: Are you saying that rockboy runs faster when you boost the cpu manually beforehand?
19:25:41XavierGramiconn: I don't think so.
19:25:43_FireFly_XavierGr: look at the sources of read_line
19:26:00XavierGrI got the same speed last time I tested it.
19:26:32XavierGr_FireFly_: I got how it is working. Or do I need to know more on that?
19:26:37_FireFly_this fn reads on char form the file an checks if it is an new-line or not if not then the char gets into the buffer otherwise the function returns the number of read chars
19:26:49_FireFly_XavierGr: no afaik not
19:27:52XavierGramiconn: what's your opinion, read_line or seek?

19:28:41Acksawwel
19:28:43Acksawdoesnt for me..
19:29:00_FireFly_XavierGr: you need an buffer to hold the searched filename
19:29:36_FireFly_why not then use read_line which this buffer and after the loop the buffe holds the searched filename/filepath
19:29:41sanitarium_damn, i am a linux n00b
19:29:45sanitarium_how do I install a tar.gz i downloaded? Do I extract it?
19:30:04XavierGrAcksaw I just tested, I get the same speeds with or without manual boost.
19:30:38amiconnXavierGr: If this is for your temporary file name buffer, I'd say fixed field length and using lseek() is the simpler solution
19:30:57webguest76I win!
19:31:05_FireFly_XavierGr: int i=0;
19:31:05_FireFly_char buffer[261];

19:31:05DBUGEnqueued KICK _FireFly_
19:31:05_FireFly_ i++;
19:31:10XavierGr_FireFly_: I will use a loop and hold the search in the buffer. Eventually the loop will go to my specified line and store there the filename.
19:31:48amiconnVariable line length will almost certainly be slower
19:32:03PaulJ_amiconn: this would explain why the people were able to play rockboy when the buttondriver acted weird at 124MHz on h3x0
19:32:37amiconn...and if it's for buffering a list where you want to go back and forth, variable line length will be even more complicated
19:33:05amiconnPaulJ_:^ When 124 MHz wasn't stable for H3x0, it was capped at 90 MHz instead
19:33:09XavierGrok then I will try with seek once I get this running with read_line first.
19:33:39_FireFly_yeah at least it depends what it should be done
19:34:23PaulJ_amiconn: yes, but before the cpu was capped the people were playing rockboy without problems
19:34:31amiconnHuh?
19:35:00webguest76There's no way rockboy is not boosting on h3x0.

21:05:55linuxstbAlso, do we want to use a pre-processor to produce target-specific manuals?
21:06:03preglowyes we do
21:06:08preglowanother nice thing about using latex
21:06:13preglowbesides
21:06:20preglowi think that might be easily doable from within latex itself
21:06:24preglowit does have conditionals support
21:06:55*linuxstb goes to find his LaTeX book
21:07:36preglowi just bought the second edition of the latex book, too bad it's a 100 miles away
21:07:55webguest76preglow: it looks like this effort is using a file pr chapter, afaics
21:07:56*linuxstb returns with The Book
21:08:06preglowwebguest76: which is probably fine
21:09:27preglowthat's what i've always used to do
21:10:08merbananlinuxstb: "the not so short" is a good read also

21:45:50preglownot much
21:46:00preglowwhy would knowing that relation help you in any way anyway?
21:46:32saa[b_r]iderum.. I'm not sure to be honest.. but CP1252 is the "page code" for english, and ISO-8859-1 is "charachter encoding"
21:47:17saa[b_r]iderfor english as well
21:47:20_FireFly_boths are charakter encoding
21:47:39saa[b_r]iderare they just different names for the same thing?
21:47:51saa[b_r]iderlike two different standards?
21:48:11_FireFly_not at all afaik cp1252 has more charakters defined
21:48:25saa[b_r]iderI'm writing up a simple Unicode Guide for the wiki, and I want to use the right techincal names... that's why I want to understand

22:00:32mirakpreglow: you can't play real time with just C code ?
22:00:37preglowmirak: i would not be surprised to discover that the bigger parts of the mp3 codec is assembler

22:01:39preglowand iram, but that's another matter
22:02:11mirakwhat's iram ?
22:02:16preglowfast internal ram
22:02:32preglowone of the biggest, if not the biggest, optimisation technique we employ
22:02:40mirakhow much is there ? 64kbyte ?
22:02:46preglow48kb for codecs

22:03:01 Quit muesli_- (Read error: 104 (Connection reset by peer))
22:03:16preglowjlo: the crossfeed that is in rockbox now has to go, or at least the highpass filter
22:03:24preglowwhich is a bad joke
22:03:31mirakpreglow: swapping iram data to slow ram is slow I guess
22:03:41preglowmirak: well, yes, of course
22:03:42XavierGrLinus: sort.rock will not run out of memory even with a very long file list, right? (like 2000 lines/ 30 chars each)
22:04:40mirakpreglow: still wonder how they managed to include a xvid decompressor ...
22:04:53mirakan image would be bigger than the iram
22:05:36preglowit's not necessarily the finished product that should be kept in iram
22:05:42preglowwhatever data sees the most accesses should be in iram
22:05:55jlopreglow : the highpass has a too high FC and should also be shelving (limited to about +4 dB, not more)
22:05:58_FireFly_if they fit
22:06:15preglowjlo: the highpass filter isn't really highpass
22:06:24mirakpreglow: since mpeg is per block ...
22:06:26preglowjlo: ok, so there's no way around not having shelviung filters?
22:06:55preglowmirak: but yes, i wont argue that implementing xvid is a good feat, it'll be quite some time before you see that in rockbox
22:06:59LinusNXavierGr: sort.rock depends on being able to load the entire file, so it uses the entire audio buffer
22:07:25LinusNif you want so sort files larger than the available memory, google for "merge sort"
22:07:29preglowjlo: shelving filters will be somewhat slower to implement
22:09:26jlopreglow : the highpass is only to keep a balance between low freqs and high, bass is mainly correlated so it adds at +6dB and treble is uncorrelated so it adds at +3dB, that's why you have to push up treble by about 3 dB
22:09:44preglowjlo: yeah, that's true
22:10:13preglowso the filtering isn't done to do a rough simulation of filtering done by the head?

22:11:56 Quit MrStaticVoid ("Lost terminal")
22:11:59jlopreglow : it's the lowpass function to filter like the head, that's about -12dB at higest freqs
22:11:59XavierGrLinusN: I see that as a last resort in sorting. I would like to make jpeg.rock to be able to scroll files without stopping playback (when I include the don't stop playback patch) (of course that is for small pics that can be handled without the need of the audio buffer.) But anyway a filelist should never be more than 1MB (at most).
22:13:00mirakI have seen it's possible to use tags for C in editors, anyone is using that ?
22:13:41jlopreglow : sorry but the lowpass has also to be shelving !
22:13:48_FireFly_mirak: ??
22:14:02mirak_FireFly_: mmm ?
22:14:08mirak_FireFly_: it's called etags
22:14:18ts-xI installed Rockbox on my H340 for the first time today...it's a thing of beauty! Thank you all for your efforts.
22:14:21preglowjlo: but ok, what i'd like before embarking upon this is good test results, at least
22:14:30_FireFly_mirak: do you mean for syntac-highlighting??
22:14:35mirakit's used to have references on types etceetera in the EID
22:14:51mirak_FireFly_: more like what eclipse is doing for java
22:15:05mirakyou have a variable, eclipse can tell you the type, where it's declared, etceetera
22:15:06preglowts-x: nice to hear you like it
22:15:17jlopreglow : I looked at dsp.c, I'm no programmer but where are the Fc of filters ?
22:15:28preglowjlo: there are none, the coefficients are hard coded
22:15:36mirak_FireFly_: I remember it can be used with VI and various editors
22:15:49mirakI hate vi so I haven't tried
22:17:05jlopreglow : what I'll do is take a Yamaha DME24 or 64 (DSP engine) and make simulations on it, then I'll tell you if it works before you do too much work
22:19:24mirakpreglow: I am not sure what is the fasted mpeg codec
22:20:01mirakdon't know if theora, the vorbis video codec is fine
22:20:17ts-xA few oggs are still skipping with the newest H3xx build. I've got a q9 example I can provide to any interested dev.
22:20:32 Part LinusN
22:20:56preglowjlo: that sounds great
22:21:02preglowjlo: samples would be cool as well
22:21:05jlopreglow : when you do those dsp function, do you test it before on wavewarp or some other mathlab/audio programms ?
22:21:22preglowjlo: ordinarily, i would have modelled it either in sync modular or reaktor5
22:21:37preglowi only have sync modular available, though, and that can't load samples
22:21:42preglowit's great for realtime testing
22:22:16jlopreglow : samples is a good idea, h
22:23:09jlopreglow : tell me if you know which samples would be interese
22:23:46preglowold rock would probably do
22:23:55preglowlucy in the sky with diamonds by the beatles is a nice example

22:45:14jlopreglow : is it easier to do a filter and then do its complementary (1-filter) instead of highpasss and lowpass ?

22:47:18preglowjlo: of course, but you can't use that approach for all filters
22:47:45preglowjlo: for example, i don't think you can calculate a low shelf, then just do 1 - filter and suddenly have a high shelf
22:48:30jlopreglow : sure this won't work but for pure high or lowpass
22:49:29preglowdepends on the phase of the filter, primarily
22:49:30preglowbut yeah
22:49:37preglowwe can't use that if we have to use shelving filters
22:49:54preglowyou can do a shelving filter as 1 + lowpass/highpass, of course
22:50:11lostlogicxpsst preglow: merge profiling patch (or are you not going to merge any of it until you write a non-java parser?) :-D
22:50:22preglowlostlogicx: i want to try it first

22:51:04preglowthe perils of not having a computer where you currently live :/
22:51:17lostlogicxthat's insane man... don't know how you live.
22:51:23preglowit's temporary
22:51:35jlopreglow : but a shelving lowpass is for example lowpass + attenuated signal, no?

22:52:50preglowat least i get some reading done :-)
22:53:16lostlogicxpreglow: yeah, that is nice once in a while :)
22:54:09lostlogicxwith my current optimizations, boost ratio is about 50% on 'normal' Q7 oggs with 124mhz... 50% is still pretty hard on battery life I'd imagine though.
22:54:28preglowso, what have you done?
22:54:38 Join linuxstb [0] (n=5343d4aa@labb.contactor.se)
22:56:42webguest76That's quite an improvement, isn't it?
22:57:07lostlogicx1) ripped out all of the ICODE_ATTRs in Tremor previously, 2) gave a bunch of lookup data that was still not in IRAM ICONST_ATTRs, 3) moved the largest frequently called symbols into IRAM to avoid cache thrashing. the remaining top 50% of symbols (in terms of calls) should all fit in cache.
22:57:46preglowwell, just remember that using iram for data should provide the best boost
22:57:50lostlogicxstill have about 4k of IRAM left, I think, but moving more code in there probably wouldn't help.
22:57:52preglowwe can fix the cache issue in other ways
22:57:55lostlogicxpreglow: all IRAMable data is IRAM'd
22:57:55preglowbut anyway
22:58:05preglowhow much of an improvement have you done?
22:58:19preglowthat is, what was the boost rate before opts?
22:58:23lostlogicxboost ratio wise at 90mhz, I got from 99 to 94% boost.
22:58:45lostlogicxI'll do some better tests this evening (playing single full songs on different optimizations)
22:58:47preglowwhich is pretty decent for just a redistribution of iram
22:59:12lostlogicxyah, but still skips on the really bad parts of q7s at 90mhz :(
22:59:43lostlogicxoh, question for you:
23:00
23:00:05lostlogicxI get a area type conflict or some such when I try to move a couple of const arrays to IRAM
23:02:42preglowdo you use ICONST_ATTR?
23:03:43lostlogicxgah, I must have, when it needs to be IDATA_ATTR, I thought I'd tried both, but apparently not.

23:12:12***Saving seen data "./dancer.seen"
23:16:10linuxstbXavierGr: No. The only operations you have are read, write, seek and (I think) truncate.
23:21:39lostlogicxup to ba50 out of c000 bytes of IRAM used in Tremor.
23:22:34preglowlostlogicx: you're starting to come close to what i use in my local copy of libmusepack, then ;)
23:22:38lostlogicxand why does extracting rockbox.zip take 60-90s in windows and 5-10 in linux?
23:22:40preglowi think i've got something like 48 bytes free
23:22:44lostlogicxhaha, nice
23:23:07lostlogicxso, is there a 'no cache' symbol that can be used to tell coldfire not to cache certain functions?
23:23:14lostlogicxbecause I could use that to pretty good effect too.
23:23:14ender`lostlogic: do you extract directly to the player?
23:23:17preglowlostlogicx: no
23:23:19lostlogicxender`: yes.
23:23:34ender`linux by default caches writes to USB devices, Windows doesn't
23:23:34preglowlostlogicx: what we can do is localise functions that are important to cache
23:23:47preglowlostlogicx: like group them all as tightly together as we can
23:23:59lostlogicxender`: I was including unzip rockbox.zip;cd;umount /mnt/xd in the time.
23:24:30lostlogicxpreglow: sounds good, how do I do this in code?
23:24:32preglowlostlogicx: windows is about as fast as linux for me
23:24:48ender`it's faster to write something from cache than to read from disk, then write again
23:24:50preglowlostlogicx: you can't, yet, we need to intruduce a new section for it
23:26:02ender`simply try this: connect the player on Windows, go to Device Manager, double-click the player's HDD, find the checkbox that enables caching, reboot Windows (required) and try again (you'll need to unmount the drive through the Unplug/eject hardware icon in the system tray then)
23:26:51amiconnI would never enable write caching for a removable drive
23:27:16ender`it does wonders in terms of speed
23:27:18amiconnI got burnt once by doing this; once is enough
23:27:35lostlogicxpreglow: gotcha −− I really wish there was just a "don't cache me" flag in this case, because from profiling, I know that there are some pretty big symbols which are called every few ms which we don't want to polute the cache.
23:27:37ender`i'm careful enough to always use the unplug icon
23:27:43lostlogicxender`: ty
23:28:02lostlogicxamiconn: being used to linux, I know the risks and don't kill myself with them.
23:28:04amiconnSince I have write caching disabled, I can just rip out the USB cable
23:28:41amiconnI like to be able to simply disconnect, lengthy unmount procedures are cumbersome
23:29:11linuxstbIs there a windows equivalent to the umount command?
23:29:16preglowlostlogicx: we can only tell the cache what address ranges we don't want it to cache
23:29:17linuxstb(i.e. a command-line command)
23:29:23preglowlostlogicx: and i don't know how far we can use that mechanism

23:30:01webguest76I don't seem able to disable write caching for my iriver on windows for a non-priviledged user
23:30:09preglowit never was enabled for me
23:30:11preglowdisabled per default
23:30:14preglowwhich suits me just dandy
23:30:27webguest76seems to be enabled here
23:30:35webguest76And I can't turn it off. It's infuriating.
23:30:51amiconnWrite caching for removable devices is disabled by default in WinXP as long as they are 'pure' USB MSD
23:30:56lostlogicxpreglow: *nod* thanks for the information.
23:31:27webguest76amiconn: I'd like to explain my installation of WinXP that.
23:31:28amiconnwebguest76: If you disable it once as admin, it should be disabled for everyone.
23:32:17amiconnHowever, windows remembers this setting per device, so if for some reason your installation sets it to enabled by default, you'll have to configure each device individually
23:32:23amiconn(or find the global switch)
23:32:36preglowgreat, now my ipod earbuds are broken as well
23:32:43preglowi have no means to listen to music anymore

23:33:42webguest76Hrm, if I go to the properties for this device, it shows a greyed-out screen where "Optimize for performance" is ticked
23:34:01preglowbut ok, i need to go
23:34:02preglowlaters all
23:34:09lostlogicx*waves*
23:35:41amiconnwebguest76: Hmm, then for some reason your system thinks this is a non-removable device
23:35:45webguest76However, if I login as an admin-account, I see "Optimize for quick removal" enabled. Dear Windows: wtf.
23:36:07amiconnAh, yes, you need to be admin as I said earlier...
23:36:12amiconnhmm
23:36:29webguest76Well yes, but does setting in the greyed-out screen matter?
23:36:37webguest76Because there, it's set to the wrong option
23:36:43amiconnI'm not sure...
23:37:51webguest76Is there anything like /proc/mounts in windows, where you can see what settings mounted devices have?
23:38:12webguest76Is there anything in Windows like /proc/mounts, rather
