00:00:49lokkilistening to my flac collection on my iriver...awesome!
00:01:00 Join ashridah [0] (i=ashridah@220-253-123-51.VIC.netspace.net.au)
00:01:59preglowi agree
00:02:17lokkiyou can hear the difference
00:02:30lokkimp3 <−−> flac
00:02:34preglowhell yes
00:02:42preglowwithout too much bother
00:03:16lokkii used mp3 for like two years... now i reencode everything
00:03:35muesli__could one of you send me a flac-file? never heard one before
00:03:52lokkiwhy not create one for yourself?
00:04:00preglowi've got too much music to encode losslessly
00:04:08preglowand when i do encode lossless, i tend to use wavpack
00:04:14muesli__lokki just want one to test..
00:04:15lokkiwhy?
00:04:22preglowit's slightly better
00:04:29preglowimho
00:04:32lokkibetter? == smaller
00:04:34preglowyeah
00:04:40preglowand it has other nifty features i like
00:04:40lokkiok
00:04:42preglowlike hybrid compression
00:04:53lokkithat's nice indeed
00:05:06preglowand flac for rockbox used to be really slow
00:05:07ashridahanyone happen to know why i'm getting "address 0x100183a8 of /home/ashridah/rb/src/cvs/rockbox/firm/apps/codecs/vorbis.elf section .iram is not within region PLUGIN_IRAM" whenever i try to build rockbox these days?
00:05:11preglowwhich made me hate it a bit
00:05:12preglowhehe
00:05:19preglowashridah: target?
00:05:37lokkihmm i use linux exclusively, flac seemed to be easyer to get...
00:05:40preglowashridah: unmodified tree?
00:06:21preglowlokki: yeah, it probably is, i tried to compile wavpack under linux once. wasn't as easy as i'd hoped
00:06:33preglowbut it most certainly is possible
00:06:42lokkishould be imho
00:06:52preglowit is, it's just that the main author doesn't use linux
00:06:56preglowso he can't test it himself
00:07:06lokkiah ok..
00:07:12preglowbut yeah
00:07:19preglowwavpack support in rockbox used to be waaaay better than flac
00:07:29preglowbut then linuxstb found a better decoder, and we optimised it
00:07:33preglownow it's the fastest codec we have
00:07:34 Join matsl [0] (n=matsl@1-1-4-2a.mal.sth.bostream.se)
00:07:42lokkiwell i'm happy with my flacs now...:-)
00:07:48lokkiyes i saw that
00:07:59lokkibut seeking is only partially implemented
00:08:02preglowhe did some tests, and you can listen to flacs for around 12 hours if you don't skip too often
00:08:11lokkiwow!
00:08:49lokkiand seeking back to the previous track is also not possible, is this true for all codecs?
00:09:17preglowoh?
00:09:19preglowweird
00:09:54lokkii mean seeking from track 2 back until you get to track 1
00:10:02 Join einhirn [0] (n=Miranda@p5486175A.dip0.t-ipconnect.de)
00:10:24preglowyeah, i know
00:10:25preglowweird
00:10:42lokkiso it's not a known bug?
00:10:52preglowi don't know, can't say i remember it
00:10:58preglowbut it's been a while since i hacked on the flac codec too
00:11:52lokkiit just stops at the beginning of the file, no matter how long you press left...
00:12:01preglowahhh, like that
00:12:01lokkiwell ok, no big problem for me
00:12:03preglowthat's a feature
00:12:05preglownot a bug
00:12:15lokkiwhy?
00:12:18preglowrockbox has always worked like that
00:12:20preglowwhy, i don't know
00:12:24preglowask the elders
00:12:34lokkiok i will
00:12:40*preglow points to amiconn
00:12:52lokkiis he around?
00:12:53preglowprobably no one has complained until now :>
00:12:56preglowdon't know
00:13:09preglowbut yeah, i'd like it if it continued seeking myself
00:13:30lokkihmm it should be a option... like always
00:13:45preglowhehe
00:13:48preglowno, i don't think it should
00:14:13preglowif someone implements seeking across tracks, i think that should be the only behaviour
00:14:34lokkiok... i agree
00:14:58ashridahpreglow: H1xx, unmodified tree (cvs up doesn't find any conflicts)
00:14:58markunMan, flashing your player with the firmware of a different model.. and editing the firmware file with a text editor.. WHY!
00:15:11ashridahonly thing i can think of is that i'm using gcc 4.
00:15:18lokkiit could stop for 1 or 2 secs at the beginning of a track
00:15:20ashridahmight compile 3.4.x up and try again
00:15:47preglowashridah: that's it
00:16:03preglowashridah: no doubt at all, gcc 4 probably makes bigger code, so the iram code doesn't fit anymore
00:16:19preglowashridah: i really wouldn't recommend gcc4, everything i've seen points to it being worse for our target
00:16:46lokkiseeking back across tracks is very cool if you like bass solos :-)
00:17:17ashridahhmm. 3.4.4 is still the latest isn't it?
00:17:43preglowno
00:17:44preglow3.4.5
00:18:09ashridahah
00:18:12*ashridah leeches a patch
00:18:34*amiconn doesn't get the point of seeking across tracks
00:18:58lokkiamiconn: it's very practical for musicians
00:19:06amiconnIt's indeed a feature that seek stops at the track boundaries, and decelerates before
00:19:32lokkiif you want to transcribe something for example
00:19:33preglowit decelerates?
00:19:35amiconnIf I want to go forward/back through tracks, there is skip
00:20:00amiconnpreglow: Yes, at least it does on archos. If it doesn't on iriver, it's a bug
00:20:08preglowi don't know
00:20:10preglownever tried
00:20:28preglowit does
00:20:36lokkiyes it does
00:20:39amiconnlokki: Shouldn't A-B repeat be more helpful for that?
00:20:46lokkiyes shure
00:20:58lokkiis it going to be implemented?
00:21:15amiconnThere is A-B repat in the archos playback engine, though not yet in the swcodec playback engine afaik
00:21:20*ashridah mutters vile things about his mobile phone carrier
00:21:46lokkiwould be great...
00:22:12amiconnOn the archos platforms, A-B repeat is only enabled for the recorder models, because we couldn't find a way to enable it for player & Ondios - too few buttons...
00:22:36lokkion iriver the a/b button is allready very busy
00:23:16amiconnThe archos recorders still are the targets with the largest number of buttons
00:23:16lokkibut i guess there needs to be done more work then just button assignments on swcodec platforms
00:23:23 Join linuxstb [0] (n=426b3142@labb.contactor.se)
00:23:28amiconnlokki: Yes.
00:24:05amiconnFor archos player & Ondio it's just an UI problem. For iriver, the playback engine needs to be extended to support A-B
00:24:06*preglow hugs ubuntu
00:24:28preglowi wonder what we should use the record button for
00:24:34preglowit seems like such a waste to use it for recording
00:24:59lokkii think you should move the settings menu to the record button
00:25:19lokkii mean move a/b button to rec button
00:26:40lokkihow would you have to extend it? start to fill the buffer when a/b is pressed and stop it when it's pressed again, then loop buffer content?
00:27:35amiconnI don't know the details, but afaik on archos A-B works by setting marks during playback
00:27:41amiconnI never tried it myself
00:27:44 Quit einhirn_ (Read error: 110 (Connection timed out))
00:28:37lokkiah ok, would be better that way, no limits
00:29:13lostlogicin the multicodec arch, there are marks to indicate where to read and fill from in the circular buffer, right? A-B would be a matter of putting 2 more marks for between where to play, and the limit of A-B length would be the size of the codec buffer...?
00:29:36preglowmyeah
00:29:42preglowaround there, at least
00:30:12preglowwe'll probably want to limit it a bit more, to avoid special treatment of watermarks when using a-b repeat
00:30:25lokkiwatermarks?
00:30:34preglowthe marks that decide where to start buffering
00:31:02lokkiah ok...
00:31:46lostlogicis anyone working on coding this?
00:31:59lokkii don't think so

00:33:19lostlogicugh −− the A-B button in WPS already has a function −− and this needs to be a short press.

00:33:39lostlogicwas my think.

00:41:10amiconnlostlogic: Again I'm not sure, but iirc A-B on archos is limited to one track, but _not_ by buffer size
00:41:40 Join einhirn [0] (n=Miranda@p5486175A.dip0.t-ipconnect.de)
00:42:01amiconnIt's in fact a special case of 'repeat track'
00:42:26lostlogicamiconn: don't think there's a reason to be so limitted here −− the iRiver firmware supports AB across track boundaries, I think
00:42:49 Join crazymonkey [0] (n=52278849@labb.contactor.se)
00:42:55lokkihaven't used the iriver firmware for years
00:43:07lokkican't remember
00:43:44crazymonkeyhey there, just wondering what stuff you guys think will be added to the iriver h100 project, or is the port virtually completed?
00:43:50lostlogicI'll look at the code this weekend and come up with a design for A-B, probably tonight. Speaking of tonight, it's time to go home from work and start working on rockbox instead. ;)
00:44:09lokkiyes!
00:44:14amiconnlostlogic: I can't think of an application for A-B across tracks, but as long as implementing it this way isn't significantly more complex than for just one track, why not
00:44:15lokkiwhat time do you have?
00:44:46crazymonkeytry making the record button do somehting on FM radio!;) and as if that hint want enough, will we be able to record radio?
00:44:47lostlogicamiconn: the only complication added by track boundaries is the codec load on the reverse portion of the loop, imo
00:45:05amiconnBtw, one-track A-B on archos is usually less limiting than the buffer size would be
00:45:23crazymonkeyit would be great to use A - B to que songs
00:45:31crazymonkeyqueue*
00:45:36lokkicrazymonkey: you are able to record radio
00:45:43amiconn??
00:46:04crazymonkeyso when your browsing the file tree, tap A - B and the song is added to the last song in the playlist
00:46:05amiconnlostlogic: Hmm, that could be a severe problem
00:46:45crazymonkeyyou can record radio now? lol better update my builds (havnt done so for a while, thought not much had happened)
00:47:42lokkiit was there for a long time, just go to the fm screen, start radio and then go to recording screen and select line-in... there you are
00:47:48amiconncrazymonkey: Context menu->Playlist->Insert last
00:48:01 Quit gibbs (Read error: 110 (Connection timed out))
00:48:31crazymonkeybut that requires an HD spinup, is there anyway to aviod that? its just REALLY slow, just like when you arte trying to make a playlist.
00:48:39amiconnlokki: There's still something missing. On archos you can record from within th FM screen. No need to select input or adjust level.
00:48:59crazymonkeyI once spent an hour adding songs only to find that i was doing it too fast, and so i had a plyalist of 3 songs lol
00:49:24lostlogicamiconn: yeah −− the start mark for a-b would have to also remember the beginning of the track that it belongs to to get the codec info or some such
00:49:30lostlogicsimilar to a bookmark
00:49:42crazymonkeyyes, you should be able to be on the FM screen, then "oh, i really like the song thats coming up!" and "click" the record button to instantly record
00:49:58lokkihmm i like to adjust the level
00:50:06crazymonkeyplus youd have to agree that changing to the recording screen is hardly a good user interface is it?
00:50:23amiconncrazymonkey: Adding a song to the playlist requires a spinup to read the metadata. This has nothing to do with the way to invoke the function
00:50:49crazymonkeywould it be possible to include metadat in the dir cache?
00:50:54lokkiit's not completed as amiconn said
00:50:59crazymonkeymetadata*
00:51:01lokkibut at least it works
00:51:21lokkiin the iriver firmware it was removed
00:52:00 Join Mmmm [0] (n=mscarrat@cpc2-hem13-3-1-cust77.lutn.cable.ntl.com)
00:52:04crazymonkeyit would be loaded into ram, and so adding songs to playlists wouldnt require an HD spinup, am i correct? or would this use up too much of the 32MB cache?
00:52:22amiconnlostlogic: A tricky constellation would be if the start mark would be so far into the track containing it that the data size between track start and A marker is larger than the buffer, and the next track needs a different codec
00:52:49lostlogicamiconn: how would a bookmark at that location work?
00:52:49lokkiamiconn :-)
00:53:02lostlogicDoes a bookmark save the codec info?
00:53:15Mmmmcrazymonkey: have you given Rubbergloves patch a go? http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&atid=439120&group_id=44306&aid=1274907

00:54:10saratogaas I understand it has no D-cache and 96k of on board IRAM?
00:54:13saratogais this right?
00:54:16amiconnlostlogic: I don't know how this is handled in the swcodec playback engine.
00:54:33lostlogicamiconn: another thing I'll have to lookup
00:54:43lostlogicanywho, I'm off for 30-40m.
00:55:07amiconnIn fact, while I would want a unified playback engine, I'm afraid to actually do it
00:56:07crazymonkeyi mean directory cache, where on boot rockbox reads the file tree and saves a file, so on subsequent staretups it loads the directory cache and the disk does not spinup on entering every directory. I was simply extending this to databasing the metadata to allow instantaneous adding of songs to playlists without the HD spinning up (and resulting battery loss and time wasting)
00:56:21amiconnThe hwcodec playback engine is complex. The swcodec playback engine looks like the invention of complexity.

00:58:22amiconnNo, but I heavily extended and modified it
00:58:31lokkii really like it
00:58:44crazymonkeyah well your obviosuly not interested in a noob users opinions, but seriously, the metadata thing would be great for playlists.
00:58:55Mmmmcrazymonkey: Here's another point then... :) http://www.rockbox.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/SimpleGuideToCompiling
00:59:05crazymonkeyand im sure others would agree?
00:59:20linuxstbsaratoga: The ipod has two CPU cores, each with an 8KB unified cache. The older ipods have 96KB of IRAM, the Nano and Video have 128KB.
00:59:29lokkihmm, would it be complex to add a julia set?
00:59:40amiconncrazymonkey: Slasheri is working on tagcache, which does cache metadata, and will eventually replace the current tag database

02:02:13mirakis that normal I should include the types for the protoype ?
02:02:24mirakmarkun: not that much
02:02:43mirakI encoded a mpeg2 stream in 220*176 it's really ok
02:02:52mirakat 300 kbit
02:02:54markunWhich fps?
02:02:58mirak25
02:03:31mirakI realise that the xvid used by iriver firmware are 10fps and 300kbit
02:03:38markun:)
02:03:41mirakI tried down to 50
02:03:47mirakit's still watchable I think
02:03:51mirakI tried very low bitrates
02:04:08markundo they decode faster?
02:04:13mirakI did not tried with the plugin
02:04:44markunCan you try?
02:04:49mirakno
02:04:50miraklol
02:05:09mirakmmm
02:05:14miraknot tonight at least

02:12:20linuxstbSound will be a problem - you will have both the audio and video codecs fighting for IRAM. Without IRAM, the audio codecs won't work in realtime.
02:12:54mirakthat's why I talk about uncompressed wav
02:13:00mirakthe battery will die
02:13:40mirakI am not sure how long it's possible to record with wav
02:14:00mirakit could be a good indicator about battery esperance of life
02:14:39mirakI know that when I plug the usb cable and forgot to plug the battery and let it like that, the battery goes to zero in about an hour

02:18:06markunDoes it take a lot of time to copy the code in and out of IRAM?
02:20:51mirakit's probably worth if the code is called a lot of time, but as said preglow there is a cpu cache for often called code
02:21:05mirakfrom what I have tested I gained a bit by putting some code into iram
02:21:22mirakI gained by putting structures
02:21:34mirakbut what I gained was not much I found
02:22:56markunMy mistake.. does it take long to swap DATA in and out of IRAM? (to switch between video and audio decoding)
02:23:57mirakoh
02:24:21mirakI think it could work
02:24:31mirakin fact it could be a kernel feature don't you think ?
02:25:17mirakmarkun: it would be interesting if we decode 1 second of frames, then 1 second of mp3 etcetera
02:25:27markunyes
02:25:34mirak1 second of frame might be huge in memort though
02:25:42mirak-t+y
02:26:24markunWe will worry about audio later :)
02:27:57markun1.8MB for 25 frames
02:29:02linuxstbmirak: Have you thought about MPEG-1 video at all?
02:29:13markunMaybe if we can do a LCD update from a different location then the normal LCD buffer..
02:30:04linuxstbmarkun: That's what the lcd_blit function does. It's not implemented for the color lcds yet, but should be trivial, and would seem a good idea for video.

02:32:19markun"ibmpeg2 is a free library for decoding mpeg-2 and mpeg-1 video streams."
02:34:22lostlogicwoah, woah! if I'm playing a song from buffer, and the passed buffer is still in RAM, and I hit skip back to go to the beinning of the song, it dumps the entire codec buffer!?!??!

02:35:10mirak?

02:36:33lostlogicseeking back to the beginning of the song does not cause a disk read though

02:38:36markunwhich is our most efficient lossy decoder? ac3?
02:40:57linuxstbI don't know how fast libmad has become, but I would guess ac3 is still the best. I've never tried lossy wavpack though.

10:32:12amiconnOf course every dev is free to work on what he wants,
10:33:32amiconnbut if development continues this way, in some months we will have a bloated rockbox with a ton of features that feels very different on the different targets,

11:28:43mozettihowdy
11:29:06VagueRantI was just curious as to whether anyone's looked into streamed audio formats in Rockbox. Being streamed, they take very low processing power.
11:29:53VagueRantThat said, the only players I know are plugins for Winamp and foobar2000.
11:30:08VagueRantSo I don't know how useful their source would be.
11:30:25mozettihow would you receive the stream?
11:31:16VagueRantJust from file.
11:31:29VagueRantThey're rather large, of course.
11:31:33_FireFly_if you would stream from the hd then the reduced cpu-usage might be negligible to the power consumption of the hd spinning
11:31:44VagueRantGood point.
11:31:53mozettii'd imagine it might even take more power

14:33:15lokkiso what are you worrying about?
14:33:25peturashridah: I had the same compile problem, it's gcc 4.x that causes it.
14:33:33ashridahyeah
14:33:35petur3.4.5 works perfectly
14:33:38ashridahi sorted it with gcc-3.4.5
14:34:26lokkifor me it's a feature that i use very often... depends on the user
14:34:46peturmay I ask what you use it for?
14:35:11lokkifor transcribing...
14:35:23*saa[b_r]ider thinks A-B could be amusing to beer drinkers
14:35:46peturok, for dictaphone use it could be usefull
14:35:52lokkithat too
14:36:11peturmaybe we should define operating modes that each can have a key mapping
14:36:30peturlike: recording, dictaphone, ...
14:36:59lokkimaybe we should even let the user choose all keys freely? depending on a config file :-)
14:37:11peturthat would be a support nightmare
14:37:17lokkiyes indeed
14:37:47*petur is dreaming too much of future things i.s.o. implementing what he's busy with ;)
14:37:53lokkii personally don't mind if i have no one button recording screen popup feature
14:38:20peturit's a pitty the rec button isn't used at all atm
14:38:29lokkithat's why i think the menu should be there
14:38:44mirakpetur: maybe a gui would be simple
14:38:46miraksimpler
14:39:00mirakI mean in theory we could live with just a button plus the directions
14:39:33peturI'm not sure GUI's make it simpler
14:39:51mirakoh my god there is dust on my keyboard !
14:39:54peturI can give a big list of SW with nice GUI that isn't usable at all
14:40:05lokkimaybe we could implement a new "wps" by making a plugin that handles playback
14:40:30mirakpetur: like what ?
14:40:34lokkiso instead of wps, the plugin is loaded
14:40:55mirakIt's easier to know where to click on the screen instead of memorising what a key do on a particular screen
14:41:20lokkii think the plugins would allow album art and display of song info for example

14:58:33peturyes?
14:58:34lokkiit's mapped to the record button currently
14:59:43b0brprerecording is great feature but it could be good to have one button to start recording with it and one without - i think play button is not mapped in recording screen..
15:00
15:00:28peturyou mean a way to start recording without looking at the prerecording setting?
15:00:50b0brlokki: i use record button to turn on my display..
15:01:42lokkib0br: h3x0 ?
15:02:20peturH1xx or H3xx I think
15:02:21b0brno, i mean if you set prerecording to 30s, record button strarts recording with 30s prerecording and play button starts recording without prerecording

15:06:19lokkithe first mark (a) just goes to the nearest seekpoint, but the second mark (b) is on the right place
15:06:40lostlogicthat makes sense, unfortunate.
15:06:43lokkiso i guess you calculate the second with the first one?
15:07:29lostlogicthey are both just millisecond elapsed markers from the beginning of the file, so the AB code tells the codec to seek to that elapsed point
15:08:02lokkiah, and stopping works always... unlike seeking
15:09:10lostlogiclokki: right, it can tell that it's reached the B mark, and just pauses the playback, asks to seek back to A and resumes, and the codec apparently treats any seek request as a request for the nearest seek point
15:09:39lokkilostlogic: so your next project is real seek support with flac files :-)
15:10:15lostlogicnever used flac, so that's not likely ;)
15:10:29lokkijust kidding
15:11:30Xerion_is there any way to log played songs yet?
15:11:33lostlogicit's too bad that A-B across track boundaries wouldn't have fit neatly into the arch, but I guess that wouldn't be a feature in high demand.
15:11:43lokkilostlogic: how can i swap the a/b button and the rec button? simply changing the hex values in button.h does not work...
15:12:11lokkino, i think a-b like it is now is good enough for 99%
15:13:23lostlogiclokki: it'd be in gwps.h
15:14:02petur_don't_ switch the hex values in button.h
15:14:36lostlogiclokki: at least to change access to the menu and the ab function −− but then the AB button would still have it's same function everywhere other than WPS, so you'd have to change it in several other files as well to completely switch them up

15:21:17peturI must admit I don't know that part of RB (yet)
15:21:23lostlogicif you really want to change it, you have to switch them in button.c lines 723 and 725 actually.
15:21:52b0brpetur: what are you working on right now? is there any chance of implementing this feature: http://forums.rockbox.org/index.php?topic=2138.0 in future? or at least playback while recorging?
15:22:09lostlogicbut then the AB button will be needed to do actual recording things so that doesn't sound ideal at all.
15:22:17lokkithanks lostlogic, i'll give it a try
15:22:47lokkiyeah, but maybe i change it back there, instead of changing it everywhere else
15:23:09lostlogiclokki: it doesn't exist that many places −− only 5 or 8 header files
15:24:05peturb0br: as Linus wrote in a related post: we can't play and record at the same time, it's a hardware restriction.

15:24:58peturI'm busy getting the recording gain names right (also in the code) and move the decimator setting into the recording screen for otf changing
15:25:03lostlogiclokki: sounds like the best approach... I'm sure before release they'll do a big remap on HXXX buttons just to confuse all of us early adopters :-P
15:25:05b0brpetur: oh no, that's bad news :((((
15:25:39peturit is
15:26:08lostlogicis it because of the lack of additional DMA channels on the coldfire 5249?
15:26:16webguest86Hi, i'm new, this is my first install of rockbox on a ihp-120, build 20060107, after reboot the screen reads: Rockbox boot loader version 6 batt: 4.23. Nothings hapens, other builds have the same problem. I read almost all the documentation on rockbox.org.
15:26:54lostlogicwebguest86: sounds like you installed bootloader only but didn't copy teh actual rockbox firmware over to the hard disk.
15:27:13peturlostlogic: it's because recording and playback uses the same bus I think, so you're either playing or recording.
15:27:43lostlogicah −− does that also eliminate the possibility of mixing line-in with pcm out for push-to-hear mode?
15:27:54peturno
15:28:05lostlogicbecause that's handled separately on the audio chip?
15:28:32peturyes, the audio chip can do the mixing...
15:28:38lostlogicgotcha, thanks
15:28:54peturmust be investigated more tho...
15:29:27peturmaybe after I got this stuff done. But I don't have much time atm :(

15:29:55Matzewell and i think even if it would be possible to get audiodata into the cpu while playing the power wouldn't be sufficent to encode and decode mp3 at the same time
15:30:26Matzei mean the cpu power, not the battery power :)

15:53:24lostlogichmm −− type sorting falls through to alpha, numeric should too −− use a goto, or let type sorting fall through twice?
15:53:54_FireFly_?
15:54:41lostlogicI'm trying to add numeric sorting −− sort ordering is handled by falling through a switch statement −− the type sort falls into the alpha currently −− I want numeric to fall through to alpha.
15:55:01lostlogicif I put it between type and alpha then type will fall through to numeric ahead of alpha, or I could use a goto to avoid that.

16:12:25preglownice to see a debian based distro that doesn't suck rod
16:12:53preglowdebian itself requires a bit too much setup to work properly for a desktop for my tastes
16:12:57preglowon the server it does nicely
16:13:01lokkiwell i use gentoo... never made it into debian... but maybe i'll try ubuntu
16:13:06preglowi used gentoo on my server

17:42:03Matzeokay mario is okay :)
17:42:41Matzewell i think rockboxdeveloping is quite hard work... thats why noone tries it :)
17:42:49lostlogicmake sure to have some way to charge −− if rockboy uses constant boost, it'll eat battery

17:45:21Matzeyeah :)
17:45:23Matzei need it ^^
17:49:41Matzeam i right that there is no voltage regulator in the batteriepack? cause i made my own just with 4 batteries connected to the powerconnector...
17:50:01Matze(yeah late to ask this ^^ it charges since 5 minutes ago)
17:50:41lostlogicMatze: that is correct −− it's just a pack afaik −− the power supply in the player can handle charge input between 4.5 an 6.5 V if I recall correctly.

17:51:40preglowor at least i'd strongly hope so
17:51:51Matzei tried with a regulateable ac adapter (dunno right word, has stepless regulation option ^^) and it charges even if the voltage is 0,1V above the actual batteryvoltage (b ut then only very slow)
17:52:08***Saving seen data "./dancer.seen"
17:54:47lostlogicMatze: at 4.3V it charged? That's out of spec, I'd worry about burning up the power supply chip doing that too much
17:55:26preglowdinner time
17:58:30Matzelostlogic: i only tried it for a short time... but why should it burn up with a too low voltage? charging system is only a current/voltage limiteer I think, so just a small mosfet... if there is not enough "primary voltage" it cant charge, thats all i think
17:58:58Matzewell i've never looked at the schematics or datasheets of the charging circuit but i think it works like this
17:59:36Matzeand... i tried charging with 3,8V btw, when battery had 3,7V it draw about 50mA from my source
17:59:59Matzewell i can not guarant that battery was charging, but i assume this
18:00
18:01:13lostlogicMatze: hmm, you may be right −− hmm..... I know the power supply has step up and down modes, but those must be for the output to the internal components, not for the input from the charger −− low voltage burnups occur when step up hardware is forced to operate out of spec...
18:02:21Matzeyeah that is true
18:02:33Matzebut there is definitively no stepup for charging
18:03:00Matzenice undervoltage protection for rechargeable batteries you charge with...
18:03:00lostlogick
18:03:25Matze0,9V*4=3,6V
18:03:56Matzeand if internal battery is nearly full ne need over 4,2 volts to charge it further
18:04:12lostlogicok, so here's the question −− people haev burned up the charging circuit by using bad AC adapters −− how do you think they did this?
18:04:21Matzeso "normal" alkalines wouldnt even be drawn empty
18:04:33Matzei think this was done by wrong polarity
18:04:44Matzeor maybe unstabilized (correct?) adapters
18:05:00Matzeadapters that output 7V with no load for example, and 5V with 2A drawn...
18:05:11Matzeor even worse
18:05:37Matzeoriginal power supply is a switching supply with nearly exact 5V output
18:05:42Matzeno matter what load
18:05:51lostlogic*nod* burned the mosfet from too large an Voc meaning the voltage would climb as the battery neared full charge... ouch.

18:09:29lostlogicno, would have to search on misticriver
18:10:04Matzeokay
18:10:05lostlogicactually the datasheet for the PCF50606 shows 0-15V Vchgvin (charger voltage) with 2.7 volts as the threshold for detecting a charger.
18:10:20Matzeyeah that's what i measured
18:10:38Matzesoftware shows charging symbol even with 3,0V connected
18:10:43Matzebut it drains no current from that :)
18:10:48lostlogic*nod*
18:10:59Matzeso battery will DISCHARGE (cause LCD is powered from battery)
18:11:36Matzecant we measure the Powersupplyvoltage with internal ADC? or is it only connected to battery?

18:13:04Matzei dont this this would be in datasheet.. or maybe charging circuit outputs this over I2C? (does it have that?) sorry i have little time so i'm not searching myself ^^ but i thought about the coldfire CPU, it has ADC which is connected to the battery. doesnt it has a second adc channel?
18:13:14Matzeoh first this=think
18:14:07lostlogicthe coldfire would have to read the charger state from the PCF50606, which looks like it's just 1 bit of a status register so it doesn't show voltage, just says whether it's over 2.7V or not
18:14:33Matzeokay
18:14:57lostlogicit has an I2C interface, I'm seeing if there's a way to read it there.

18:21:15Matze2 of them can handle up to 6.0V
18:21:26Matzeand in reference design one should measure charging current...
18:21:44Matzethis is quite interesting i think, we only need to know if it's connected like reference design
18:22:21Matzeoh 50606 has own rtc? do we use that one or is there another one
18:22:21Matze?
18:22:22lostlogicperhaps we want to set the detmod to 1 so that we only detect a charger when the voltage is > Vbat+100mV
18:22:26lostlogicwe use that
18:22:31Matzeokay
18:22:41Matzeyeah detmod=1 would be great
18:22:55Matzeso we are sure it is charging...
18:23:22lostlogicI wonder if that's hardwired or configurable
18:23:25lostlogic*pokes around a bit*
18:24:31Matzethat must be reachable through I2C

19:59:31preglowmarkun: i think it's worth waiting a little but anyway, just to see if more people wakes up again
19:59:37preglowwould be nice having timid around for it, hehe
19:59:41mirakthere is a caching thread or something ?
19:59:51preglowmirak: no, the playback thread does it
20:00
20:00:02preglowmirak: and yes, it takes resources, as the hard drive is spinning and working
20:00:10*lostlogic plays with enabling manual charge control for H3x0 and initializing the PCF50606 instead of counting on it to be in a sane state.
20:00:14mirakcan it shout down the playing ?
20:00:24mirakpreglow: it's done in background, right ?
20:00:28preglowwell, yeah
20:00:41markunmirak: researching buffering for the video player?
20:01:00mirakwell the libmpeg2 have a status flag
20:01:23mirakin fact you just give him a buffer and run a parse, then it says if it decoded something or if it needs more data
20:01:38markunHow far are you from a simple mpeg player?
20:01:55mirakactually the buffer is just filed for every 2 frames somehing like that
20:02:07mirakmarkun: it's still not ported to rockbox
20:02:28mirakbut it read mpeg2 and extract to files
20:02:34markungreat
20:02:43mirakI used the sample4
20:02:49markunwithout mallocs?
20:03:04mirakit's like xvid, I created a fake malloc with a static buffer
20:03:14mirakthe malloc are done just once at the begining
20:03:36miraklike xvid other mallocs could happen in case the video is resized in the stream
20:03:41mirakbut it won't happen anyway
20:04:45mirakpreglow: what I was wondering is when you reach the end of a buffer and that you need to rebuffer if the loading of data from file can stall everything
20:05:02mirakpreglow: what I was wondering is when you reach the end of a buffer and that you need to rebuffer, if the loading of data from file can stall everything
20:05:21lostlogicand then I think I fried my player by fucking with the power cord too much.
20:06:15markunlostlogic: really? It's dead?
20:06:44preglowmirak: haven't you tried rockbox or what? :P buffering obviously works while music is playing and buffering is happening
20:06:51preglowlostlogic: ouch, how?
20:06:52mirakmarkun: I think it's time to port it to rockbox
20:06:57lostlogicit got warm, and trying to boot either firmware seems to have issues spinning up.
20:07:24lostlogicpreglow: the power adapter I have at home has been a little bit iffy and I was plugging and replugging it repeatedly.
20:07:35mirakpreglow: lol, yes I have. I was wondering how it worked. I will not bother with that for now
20:08:19mirakpreglow: what I was wondering is when used with a very intensive codec. If it uses 98% of cpu, I guess it will stop playing music when caching
20:09:10mirakin fact the xvid exemple uses a buffer that is refilled when it reaches the half of it

22:35:57preglownow, one game left:
22:36:00preglowpuyo pop
22:36:19preglowwhere'd you get the gfx, btw?
22:36:29RotAtoRfrom frozen bubble
22:37:14saa[b_r]iderso RoTaToR, can this be implemented?
22:38:05RotAtoRsaa[b_r]ider: it looks good, it should be fairly easy to implement
22:38:30saa[b_r]idervery nice...
22:38:37saa[b_r]iderI can do a splash screen as well
22:38:59RotAtoRi don't know if i want to outright right rip off all the frozen bubble graphics though...
22:39:12preglowwhy not?
22:39:14preglownot gpl?
22:39:20RotAtoRit is gpl
22:39:22preglowgoodie
22:39:30RotAtoRbut it still seems like cheating :p
22:39:38preglowhaha
22:39:41preglowbut the gfx are nice
22:39:49RotAtoRthat they are
22:39:50saa[b_r]iderwe can add it as a port of their game, on their official page
22:40:13RotAtoRbut no need for the penguin motif, rockbox is not linux...
22:40:55RotAtoRsaa[b_r]ider: but it's not actually a port per se... it's written completely from scratch
22:41:18saa[b_r]ideronly the graphics and stages... right
22:41:48RotAtoRright, just used their data, not their code
22:42:00preglowstill, i like the gfx
22:42:17preglowi didn't even see they were penguins, heh
22:42:25RotAtoRfine, i'll use them for now :p

22:44:24saa[b_r]iderbtw, what image format are the "bubbles" in?
22:44:45mc_365I love the iPods egronomics but I absolutely need gapless
22:45:13saa[b_r]iderI thought iPods supported gapless AAC or something
22:45:14mc_365should I get an iriver and do rockbox or get an iPod and wait for the port
22:46:03mc_365you have to make 1 big file and bookmark it
22:46:08saa[b_r]idermc_365: depends on your prioraties
22:46:36saa[b_r]iderwhich iRiver are you considering?
22:46:59saa[b_r]iderH300 or H100?
22:47:00mc_365I can wait but I need gapless as it would be primarily hooked to the stereo so I don't have to always play from my network
22:47:30mc_365Are the H10 20gb supported yet
22:47:35saa[b_r]idernope
22:47:46saa[b_r]ideronly the two I mentioned
22:48:15RotAtoRsaa[b_r]ider: the graphic just need to be bmps so they can be run through bmp2rb
22:48:18preglownow look at this
22:48:26mc_365I thought I read on dapreview it was working on the H10
22:48:29preglowthe good david bryant has mailed me with a possible solution to the musepack problem
22:48:35RotAtoRnice!
22:48:49preglowgood thing i didn't start debugging already, then
22:48:54preglowi'll give it a test now
22:48:58RotAtoRworks on codecs that aren't even his!
22:49:06RotAtoRdoes he even have a rb capable player?

22:49:14preglowhe has a h140
22:49:22RotAtoRahh, ok
22:49:32preglowhow else was he supposed to be able to code wavpack support? :P
22:49:48saa[b_r]idermc_365, it does not work on the H10.. h100, yes (sometimes refered to as H1x0 or H1xx)
22:49:48RotAtoRheh, i suppose that would be a td hard...

22:52:41mc_365Why do companies hate gapless
22:52:54RotAtoRsaa[b_r]ider: nope, there is no transparency support for color bitmaps
22:53:03webguest09I would like to try the current version of rockbox on my ipod, just to see what the interface looks like
22:53:11saa[b_r]iderhow are the edges not overlapping then?
22:53:33RotAtoRthe outside circle is monochrome... each bubble is actually two images
22:53:41mc_365so I guess I have no choice accept the iPod or a refurb Karma
22:53:50RotAtoRthe inside color images don't overlap
22:54:17preglowifp port patch posted
22:54:46webguest09I hope Rockbox works on the iPod soon
22:55:03RotAtoRsaa[b_r]ider: it's a bit ugly, but it's the only way i can use color bubbles
22:55:09lostlogicman I just had a waking nightmare about making rockbox work in SMT... there are a lot of places that assume nothing's changed unless they explicitly went to sleep.
22:55:44saa[b_r]ideractually it looks good. I was wondering if there was a way to fix the graphics in bejeweled
22:56:00RotAtoRnope, not at the moment

23:17:33Bagderyes
23:17:35Bagderrename it
23:17:36preglowthey need to be renamed
23:17:45mirakoK :-/
23:17:47preglowthat's the reason _all_ config.h in the codecs are renamed
23:19:18amiconnNot only config.h. Gnuboy had an lcd.h which needed to be renamed for rockboy. Such problems are sometimes hard to track down.
23:19:39preglowindeed
23:19:48preglowon a more positive note, you probably wont go in this trap again :)
23:20:04preglowand it reminded me of its existence
23:20:07amiconnI hope so...
23:22:02lostlogicthe SNR on the wolfon codec datasheet most similar to the iPod video one is indeed worse than the UDA1380
23:23:15amiconnThe UDA has rather poor channel separation
23:25:09lostlogicamiconn: it's a 100dB SNR, 90dB separation on wolfson and 90/100 on UDA 1380 (for the DAC)
23:25:56amiconnI don't believe the 100 dB channel separation. If it's not the UDA, it's some other part of the iriver hardware that produces the poor channel separation
23:26:14mirakpoor channel separation ?
23:26:20mirakwhat do you mean ?
23:26:24preglowi don't think the uda is the culprit
23:26:30lostlogicgah, swap those numbers, the wolfson has the better separation and worse SNR
23:27:18amiconnI did a test: Set volume to max, balance to one extreme. Put the loud earpiece away, preferably under a cushion or such. Put the quiet earpiece into the ear.
23:27:28lostlogicthe headphone driver in the UDA1380 shows between 60 and 74dB separation, so that's where htye get coupled
23:27:32amiconnWhen I do this with an archos, I don't hear anything
23:27:46amiconnOn the iriver I can hear the music very well
23:28:17amiconn..and thats in spite of the fact that the maximum volume of the iriver is lower than that of the archos
23:28:27lostlogicthe wolfson does not list a channel separation number for the headphone driver
23:28:33preglowyou can hear 60db seperation
23:28:53preglowthis should be pretty easily measurable
23:28:54lostlogicif the music is 100dB in one ear, then you should be able to hear it pretty fine?
23:29:13preglowi only have digital inputs on this rig, though
23:29:17preglowso no can do
23:29:52CtcpIgnored 1 channel CTCP requests in 0 seconds at the last flood
23:29:52*preglow notices the a/d unit sitting next to him
23:29:59preglowahh, the problem is now that i don't have a cable
23:30:20lostlogicthe "analog output" channel separation is 85dB on wolfson
23:30:26preglowway better
23:31:13 Quit TCK (Read error: 110 (Connection timed out))
23:31:14lostlogicpreglow: if that's the right measurement −− it doesn't call that the "headphone out" number, which is the number ranging from 60-74 (depending on load) on the uda1380
23:31:42amiconnAh, MAS3587 crosstalk attenuation (headphone output): 80 dB
23:31:59preglowthen ipod beats archos
23:32:07amiconnYes, by a few dB
23:33:33lostlogicdoes it seem like it'll be reasonable to leave the COP off for normal music decoding, and only turn it on for things like rockboy + music, or will we use it as a 'boost processor' for music playing as well?
23:33:55amiconnThis is with 16 Ohm headphones, for which the UDA datasheet lists 60 dB typical (minimum 55 dB)
23:34:05amiconn55 dB is compact cassette level...
23:34:52preglowlostlogic: we'll use the cop for decoding, probably
23:35:19preglowlostlogic: there'll be no dynamic scheduling of tasks, one of the two cores will be used for a specific thing
23:35:32lostlogicpreglow: ahhh... my nightmare of SMT fades.
23:35:33preglowthis is in order to keep the scheduler simple
