00:44:37Papricaohh 10xx
00:44:42amiconnHow do you mean, stream music?
00:45:14muesli_-you plug an external hdd via usb2go and play music from it
00:46:09amiconnIf usbotg and mass storage support gets implemented, then rockbox can access external HDDs, card readers etc
00:46:27amiconnThe type of access shouldn't matter, so all applications should be possible
00:46:39amiconn...be it copying files, playing music etc
00:46:48muesli_-thats a yes?
00:47:13amiconnYes - if someone starts working on it

02:15:01BreakStufi am trying to modify engenier2 WPS
02:15:08Jungti1234yes. It must wait very much.
02:15:15BreakStufi moved all the codecs down, 9PX, and they don't show up
02:15:30BreakStufif i move them back, they get partially hidden by an image
02:16:00BreakStufwhen i skip, the coded picture will flash, but disapera
02:16:09BreakStufi mean disapear really quickly
02:17:28Jungti1234Does no one have a person who know?
02:18:20saa[b_r]iderjungti: is that just a design for a new UI, or is it from an iRiver player?
02:19:05Jungti1234It's new UI that we want.
02:19:42Jungti1234It's just a design.
02:20:04saa[b_r]iderfor the H300?
02:20:09Jungti1234yes
02:20:47saa[b_r]iderare the koreans working on Rockbox as well? or do they have something else?
02:21:27Jungti1234Korean doesn't have a person who is working in rockbox.
02:22:02Jungti1234There is no programmer.
02:22:38saa[b_r]iderhow do they plan to implement that design? or are they just wishing that someone can implement it :)
02:23:01Jungti1234hahaha
02:23:27Jungti1234They can design only.
02:24:08saa[b_r]idernice ideas really... but I think we're still so far away from having something like that.....
02:24:18Jungti1234They can't make it.
02:24:46saa[b_r]iderI really wish they implement album art support....
02:24:59hyarionHCl: ping?
02:25:06Jungti1234Just it's dream.

02:26:07Jungti1234I desire it too.
02:26:32saa[b_r]ideryeah I saw that earlier.... I don't think this would be impossible.
02:26:59saa[b_r]iderthe H10 supports album art, doesn't it?
02:27:52Jungti1234I don't know.
02:28:33Jungti1234hmm..
02:28:43saa[b_r]idermost the koreans I know buy flash players, many of them are iRiver, but i've never seen anyone with an H100/H300....
02:28:48Jungti1234It doesn't support in H10.
02:29:04Jungti1234hahaha
02:29:13Jungti1234yes

02:30:32Jungti1234I don't understand. I don't well English.
02:31:08saa[b_r]iderno problem.... well I guess iRiver are lucky, cause the iPod is not so popular in korea :)

02:43:50Jungti1234But, it's plain that it doesn't fit in Korean.
02:44:34saab_rideryeah, you love different designs.... iPod only comes in one basic design, and basically in only two different colors

06:57:03Ikariussorry, Jungti, you still around/
06:59:12Ikariuslooking for anyone whom can help me with where to get ver 2.5 bootbox
07:00
07:00:44IkariusI downloaded bootbox from the bootbox page to get the firmware_rec.bin file, and flashed that, and then tried to run "rombox.ucl", and it says "incompatible version"
07:01:06Ikariusso where the heck am I sposed to get the 2.5 version of bootbox?
07:09:26Ikariusmmm, ok, got it figured out
07:09:41Ikariusjust had to "run" the rombox.ucl file
07:09:52Ikariusdifferent than how I used to do it
07:11:49Slasheriamiconn: hi, did you get it working? :)
07:13:11Ikariushi slasheri
07:14:06SlasheriIkarius :)
07:14:28Ikariusheheh, ok, how does one build the id3 tag database?
07:14:37Ikariusis it done on the player with a plugin?
07:14:43Ikariuscant find this in the documentation
07:15:04Ikariusonly the release notes mention this functionality, and they just say "with the provided tools"
07:15:25Slashericurrently you need an external program (either java or perl version to do that)
07:15:37Ikariusok, where do I find that external program?
07:15:51Slasheribut with the new version (should be ready soon), you can build it much more easier on the player itself
07:15:53IkariusI have perl and java on my windows boxes, as well as my linux boxes ;)
07:16:00Slasherihehe :)
07:16:14Ikariusman, been a long time since I used rockbox
07:16:22Slasheriat least you will find the perl version from tools/songdb.pl if you have cvs version installed
07:16:39Ikariusmm, ok, I'll go hit up your cvs tree
07:17:12Ikariusif I generally want to select an artist then an album, will the ID3 database work well for that?
07:17:19Ikariusor does it not cascade categories?
07:17:28Ikariusor rather, the ID3 browse mode
07:18:27Slasherii don't know how well the current implementation works.. i couldn't get it working at all! :D
07:18:43Slasheribut i think you should be able to do that
07:19:31Slasheriat least with the new tagcache you can do that - with genres also
07:20:18Ikariussweet
07:20:40Ikariusgood thing I
07:20:50Ikariushave been totally anal about how my MP3s are tagged
07:21:11Ikariusgenerally rip with EAC then redo the tags with tag&rename
07:22:19SlasheriHmm, interesting. I pull the tags directly from some internet db at the encoding phase
07:22:35Ikariuswell
07:22:47Ikariuscddb is OK, but spotty on quality
07:22:49Slasheri(with kaudiocreator one can specify the format also)
07:23:02Slasheriah, ok :)
07:23:04Ikariustag&rename pulls tag info from amazon
07:23:14Ikariusand supports mass tag editing
07:23:25Ikariusand puts JPGs of album covers into the tags
07:23:41Slasherihehe, interesting. That is probably a better then
07:23:42Ikariusand can rename files based on the tags
07:23:55Ikariusit's vastly superior to any other tagging program I've seeen
07:24:12Ikariuseven if it is a windows app ;)
07:24:23Slasherieasytag for linux is quite nice too. It can rename by tag or fill tags by filename also :)
07:24:36Ikariuscool
07:24:46IkariusI'll check that out sometime
07:24:54Slasheri:)
07:25:15Ikariuslong ago I spent quite a bit of time looking through tagging programs
07:25:29Ikariusand every single one I checked out sucked except for tag&rename
07:25:42IkariusI had to get my tags straight for my audiotron ;)
07:26:18Ikariussome time, I'll think about getting a roku or something like that to replace the audiotron
07:26:55Ikariusbut for now, audiotron + archos do pretty much everything I want with my MP3s
07:27:20IkariusI cant wait to demonstrate speaking menus on my archos to my iPod wielding friends ;)

11:14:45amiconnSlasheri: here now?
11:15:46Slasheriamiconn: yes, hi. Just configuring my new internet connection :)
11:16:59amiconnI have some results for you. I got tagcache sort-of working on archos
11:17:40amiconnFirst, I tried your idea to just align the entries (in line 710 of tagcache.c)
11:17:55amiconnThis didn't work right, the lists were very incomplete
11:18:29amiconnThat's understandable, as you use the length to 'walk' the list, but the length then no longer matches the true distance
11:18:53amiconnThen I tried to adjust the length itself. I changed line 700 to read:
11:19:00amiconnint len = (strlen(data) + 2) & ~1;
11:19:23amiconnThis actually works, but there are still problems, but first some benchmark data:
11:19:27Slasheriah, interesting
11:19:58amiconnStarting without any tagcache_* file, I called "Force tag cache update"
11:20:56amiconnDisk activity for ~ 9 min 30 sec, _tmp.tcd with 524399 bytes was created (there are 3233 mp3 files on my recorder)
11:21:16Slasherioh, that sounds quite good
11:21:23amiconnRoLo'ed to start again
11:21:32amiconnBoot time was extended by ~30 secs
11:22:45amiconnFile sizes: _0.tcd: 13344, _1.tcd: 7754, _2.tcd: 212, _3.tcd: 67041, _4.tcd: 233942, _idx.tcd: 66172
11:23:35amiconnInteresting detail: the length alignment only changed the size of _0, _1 and _2; the other file sizes remained constant
11:23:57Slasheriyes, that looks normal because not all tags are uniqued
11:24:08Slasherionly artists, albums and genres are uniqued
11:24:23amiconnYes, but that also means the length values aren't used in _3 and _4
11:24:33amiconn...otherwise it would crash on archos
11:24:50amiconn=> you could leave them out, saving 2 bytes/entry
11:25:00Slasherino, length is used (the same struct) but it's written directly to disk without loading to ram
11:25:15Slasherihmm
11:25:24amiconnI know that it's the same struct, but the value is never used again (?)
11:25:59amiconnBrowsing the db sort-of works, but with 2 significant bugs
11:27:14amiconn(1) Entering 'Artists' or 'Songs' splashes "Dir buffer is full!", and then only a fraction of the entries is shown
11:27:32Slasheriamiconn: that is to be expected if the dir buffer is too small..
11:27:43Slasheriso not all entries can fit to the buffer
11:27:44amiconnThe old db had a chunked browsing mechanism to go above the standard dir buffer size
11:27:52Slasherioh
11:27:56amiconnThis needs to be retained for archos
11:28:05Slasherii will look about that then
11:28:09amiconn...otherwise the tagcache isn't really usable
11:28:50amiconn(2) Entering 'Albums' and then an arbitrary album shows no (!) tracks at all
11:29:50amiconnGoing through 'Artists' -> artist -> album works...
11:30:51Slasheriinteresting, that must be a bug
11:30:53 Quit DreamTactix291 (Read error: 110 (Connection timed out))
11:31:00Slasheribut i will investigate those problems
11:31:24Slasheriit still looks quite good that the cache almost works on archos
11:32:12amiconnAnother (minor) thing: empty tag values are shown as empty string
11:33:13amiconnI did not yet check whether playback is working properly during background update
11:34:16amiconnBtw, the file size increase caused by the word alignment in unique_insert() is so small that we should do this for all platforms
11:34:47amiconnIt's just half a byte per entry on average
11:43:52Slasherisounds good :)
11:46:07amiconnBtw, the statistics are interesting too. It seems that disk access is indeed the bottleneck, and not CPU speed
11:46:48***Saving seen data "./dancer.seen"
11:47:01amiconnI'll test on Ondio next; depending on what part of disk access (seek or read) is the bottleneck, it will be faster or slower
11:47:36amiconnOf course the absolute numbers will be significantly smaller, as it's not possible to fit 1000s of tracks on a flash player
11:48:25amiconnOne big advantage with tagcache on Ondio will be that it's possible to have the db contain tracks from both internal flash and MMC, which is impossible with the offline db
12:00
12:05:20amiconnOkay, test data from Ondio:
12:06:19amiconn'Force tagcache update' => ~40 sec MMC activity (314 mp3 files, 302 on MMC + 12 internal)
12:06:40amiconnRoLo: Boot time increased by ~10 sec
12:07:37amiconn_tmp.tcd before RoLo: 52262; _0.tcd: 1520, _1.tcd: 548, 2.tcd: 62, _3.tcd: 6485, _4.tcd: 24830, _idx.tcd: 6292
12:07:42Slasherihehe, quite good :)
12:07:51amiconnBrowsing works, with the same quirks as on recorder
12:08:18Slasheriok, nice
12:08:22amiconn(Buffer full when browsing songs, and 'Album' -> arbitrary album is empty)
12:14:18amiconnThe point with the dir buffer is that one usually structures the files in a way to avoid too large dirs, and the advice is to set 'max files in dir' as little as possible above the largest dir size
12:15:03amiconnMy largest dir on recorder (and iriver) contains a little above 400 files, so I have 'max files per dir' set to 500
12:16:16amiconnThe database is different in that it might show more entries in one list (the song view should show all music files, which are >3200 on my recorder), so Zagor implemented the chunked browsing
12:18:26amiconnIncreasing 'max files per dir' just for db browsing would be a waste, and impossible for a fully upgraded archos
12:18:59amiconnA 120GB disk can easily contain >10000 audio files

17:35:11Slasheriok, so sorting while committing should solve that :)
17:35:54amiconnYes, if it's not too difficult to implement
17:37:37amiconnIt would even save sort runs, sorting once during commit instead of each time during display

17:46:09amiconnI don't understand what this is good for
17:46:14amiconnyes
17:46:35Slasheriyes, it was before it allocated only smaller buffer and did the committing on the background
17:46:54Slasheribut i think it's better to do on the foreground because it might need more memory
17:46:57***Saving seen data "./dancer.seen"
17:47:01Slasheriand with sorting it definately needs more
17:47:53amiconnWith your variable-length string structures the database gets smaller, but the old-style tagdb can easily exceed the archos RAM size
17:48:13amiconnThat's why there was discussion about using merge sort for sorting

18:08:20webguest04hello everybody
18:08:35webguest04i have a question concerning the recording monitor
18:09:22Nibblerhi webguest
18:09:26webguest04i'm a musician and play the bass... sometimes there is no amplifier around and i want to practice... so here's what i do:
18:10:07webguest04i connect the bass to a minidisc and hit record and pause... this way, i am able to hear myself
18:10:09amiconnSlasheri: Some more test results, iriver h140 this time:
18:10:12webguest04with earphones
18:10:21lostlogicamiconn: I wonder if I could profile it :-D yeah, I'll probably just do that.
18:11:00webguest04now the problem is, that the signal from the bass is only mono, i hear it on one side only...
18:11:07amiconnForce tag cache update: 4 min 10 sec (3157 audio files), _tmp.tcd 497145, Rolo: boot time +20 sec
18:11:52amiconn_0.tcd: 11248, _1.tcd: 7452, 2.tcd: 208, _3.tcd: 62985, _4.tcd: 222207, _idx.tcd: 63192
18:12:01amiconn...and the same quirks as on archos
18:12:28webguest04is it possible to write a plugin for rockbox that makes a mono signal from line in stereo and redirects it to line-out and headphone out?

18:12:55webguest04nice
18:13:31mirak_webguest04: I did that trick with a tape player
18:13:54webguest04it's good for playing on long train "rides"
18:13:55mirak_I used a dummy tape you put into cars players
18:14:09mirak_and puted it into the walkman
18:14:11amiconnSlasheri: I noticed another quirk, not sure if we could/should do something about it. On my iriver, I have the very same album stored 3 times in different formats (mp3, and for testing flac and wavpack).
18:14:33mirak_webguest04: well at this point I don't mind playing without amplification at all :D
18:14:45amiconnIn 'Artists'->(artist), the album is shown only once, but when entering the album dir, all tracks are shown 3 times
18:15:00webguest04yeah, but it's quite different without amplification
18:15:53webguest04do you have experience in rockbox programming?
18:15:54mirak_webguest04: well I sweet most with the big sound
18:16:14amiconnI also found the reason why my first try on archos gave an incomplete _tmp.tcd, as I reproduced the same problem on iriver by accident:
18:16:41amiconnThe background update thread seems to react on SYS_ messages by stopping the background scan
18:17:38mirak_webguest04: not much
18:17:38amiconnTry it yourself: Start a fresh scan with the charger unplugged, then plug the charger after a minute or so => the background scan will stop
18:17:48webguest04mirak: do you know if it's possible?
18:18:14webguest04mirak: i mean write a plugin that redirects its mono input to a stereo output
18:19:49webguest04should be trivial i think
18:20:06webguest04but i never had a look at the plugin architecture
18:22:43mirak_can't you record mono from line in ?

19:21:05amiconnWe can't fit the whole framebuffer in IRAM
19:21:17lostlogicmirak_: yeah
19:21:25lostlogicamiconn: see post on the dev list
19:22:36mirak_I need a little resume. for a plugin, a variable declared outside a function is part of the binary code of the plugin.
19:22:42amiconnI don't see how using IRAM will speed up LCD updates if the framebuffer itself is in SDRAM
19:22:58lostlogicam testing
19:23:02mirak_the variables inside functions are put on the stack
19:23:17amiconnWhat will help update speed is using burst mode for reading from SDRAM, but we don't need IRAM for that
19:23:22mirak_the stack is in iram right ?
19:23:23amiconnJust 4 registers
19:23:36lostlogicyep, doesn't help, oh well was worth testing.
19:23:49amiconnmirak_: Depends on the thread. Not all thread stacks are in IRAM
19:24:12mirak_amiconn: for a plugin you can have more than one thread ?

19:26:36mirak_I wouldn't buy a H300 actually
19:26:39mirak_it's a bit to old
19:26:53lostlogicsigh, was hoping that that idea on the devml would speedup the LCD update, I'm going to try copying bytes to registers as well, but I doubt that will help either
19:27:01mirak_no but we are expecting one amiconn

19:28:40mirak_the multidirectional cross is a pain to use
19:29:09mirak_well not that horrible, but it could be better
19:30:07mirak_but well if you want rockbox support
19:30:19mirak_I would think of the ipod video because of video
19:30:58amiconnI won't buy an iPod, for several reasons
19:31:10amiconnVideo should be possible on H300 as well
19:32:18mirak_amiconn: well if you an help to optimise xvid :D
19:32:21amiconnI don't really care about video; it's a nice gimmick, nothing more
19:32:22mirak_can
19:32:52mirak_that's what I though, but I used it sometimes in the train
19:32:59amiconnIf I would care, I would buy a PMP like one of the archos AV series
19:33:05mirak_if you don't want to read or sleep it's nice
19:34:16mirak_I am not sure it's worth working on video. I am not sure we can beat what iriver did with his firmaware amiconn
19:34:52mirak_I don't know rockbox enough to be sure of that, but it seems hard
19:34:56mirak_at least for mpeg4
19:35:24mirak_maybe with a less compressed format we could have a better frame rate
19:36:13amiconnI'd think mpeg2 should be within reach for usable frame rates

21:05:26LearNot at all on coldfire, afaik.
21:05:30amiconnmovem always reads longwords, and there is no postincrement or predecrement
21:05:43lostlogicoh, so I see (just got to that page in the PRM)
21:05:54lostlogicthat simplifies in a way.

21:09:12lostlogicthe burst read from memory, write to LCD should be ASM, but the loop can be done outside with no penalty, and the writing of the trailing few words can be done outside of assembly...

21:11:41lostlogicthink the framebuffer is line aligned?
21:12:29amiconnYes it is. However, you'll need to handle leading non-aligned words as well
21:12:51lostlogichow ... irritating
21:13:32amiconnlcd_write_data often will often be called for a part of the framebuffer only
21:13:36lostlogicuse %16 on the start address?
21:14:19amiconnYou could do that, however, it would increase the amount of data to be transferred
21:15:12lostlogichowso?
21:16:29amiconnWell, if lcd_update_rect() e.g. requests to write words 4..11, you would transfer words 0..11 if you just line-align the start address
21:17:32lostlogicoh, no no I just meant I would mod 16 it to determine how much to pretransfer.
21:17:47amiconnAh, yes
21:18:27amiconnI would do that loop-less in asm
21:20:09amiconnThere's another possibility for optimisation
21:20:48amiconnThe LCD controller allows to write the GRAM backwards. That'll save one swap instruction per register
21:21:01lostlogicwas wondering about that
21:21:46lostlogicbah, broke the LCD driver atm
21:22:32lostlogicseems like I'm writing to a mode register weird or something, but move.w to f0000002 should only ever write data inside lcd_write_data
21:23:32amiconnpreglow: I'm currently test-building binutils + arm-elf-gcc with −−enable-interwork −−enable-multilib
21:24:18amiconnSeems these options are commonly used for arm cross compilers
21:27:10Slasheriamiconn: interesting. Looks like this describes the one playback bug you recently had: http://forums.rockbox.org/index.php?topic=2196.0
21:28:08amiconnYes, looks like the same problem at least
21:28:10LearBtw, anyone who knows why the expression "(1 << 32) - 1) yields the result 0xFFFFFFFF on target while 0 in the simulator (x86-cygwin)?
21:28:15markunamiconn: do you have a ARM player?
21:28:21amiconnThe weird thing is that it doesn't happen always
21:28:25amiconnmarkun: no
21:29:53amiconnLear: I have no idea. 0xFFFFFFFF would be correct for all 32 and 64 bit platforms
21:29:54preglowamiconn: cool, lemme know how a test build of rockbox turns out with -mthumb and the interwork flag enabled
21:29:58amiconnThe wonders of x86...
21:30:18preglowamiconn: im very curious as to how big the binary ends up, its huge with 32 bit instructions
21:30:36preglowamiconn: and yeah, you probably need to add .asm32 (or something) in the inline asm parts
21:30:39amiconnI know, I've built ipod nano rockbox once for a test
21:30:41Learamiconn: maybe a gcc bug... :)
21:31:01amiconnpreglow: .code 32 or .arm
21:31:10preglowright it is
21:31:12amiconnThe other option is .code 16 or .thumb
21:37:44markun.arm and .thumb look nicer :)
21:37:54lostlogicwhole screen updates are nearly 2x as fast using movem.l than not. (21s/1000 vs 40s/1000)
21:42:54lostlogic(4 line flood) why does this break?
21:42:54lostlogic int precount = (int)p_bytes%16/2;
21:42:54lostlogic while(precount−−)
21:42:54DBUGEnqueued KICK lostlogic
21:42:54lostlogic *(volatile unsigned short *)0xf0000002 = *p_bytes++;
21:42:54lostlogic count-=precount;
21:43:20Learlostlogic: part of your tremor patch applied.

21:43:57lostlogicawesome, thanks
21:44:22Learmakes quite a difference.

22:40:34Learpretty expensive though.
22:45:42amiconnlostlogic: The precount computation you've posted is wrong
22:46:55lostlogicon patch tracker, or in here?
22:47:01amiconnhere
22:47:45lostlogicnot %16/2? why?
22:47:51amiconnYour formula calculates the number of words between the start address and the next-lower aligned address
22:48:10lostlogic16-%16/2 then?
22:48:19lostlogic16-addy%16/2
22:48:38amiconnYes, but with the exception that 16 becomes 0
22:48:56lostlogicah
22:49:30amiconnI'd use the following: ((-(int)p_bytes) & 0xF) / 2
22:50:21lostlogicgotcha
22:50:21lostlogicthanks
22:51:23amiconnIt'll probably end up as the same asm code as ((-(int)p_bytes) % 16) / 2
