00:09:07miner49erwhy, when I try to checkout from cdv, do I not get the latest stuff. i.e. spacerocks not asteroids?
00:09:31webguest03You get the current state of Rockbox..
00:09:54miner49erhi Paul_the_nerd!
00:10:11Paul_The_NerdSpacerocks? Asteroids?
00:10:15seanhey i found one problem with rockbox
00:10:23seanthe battery display?
00:10:35seananyone else notice its always full?
00:10:36peturonly one? ;)
00:10:59Paul_The_Nerdsean: You're on some sort of iPod, I'm guessing?
00:11:25miner49erahh, uuh?
00:11:55miner49erman, i'm listening to some cool music at the moment...
00:15:11seanyeah ipod
00:15:13sean40gig
00:15:19sean4gen
00:15:35*sean np: Diamond Head - Am I Evil "Lightning to the Nations"
00:15:39sean8D
00:17:12KyomiPaul_The_Nerd: Are you doing the experimental build?
00:18:13seanis there a known glitch with the battery display not being acurate?
00:18:24seanwell, more unacurate than it already was =P
00:18:30Paul_The_NerdKyomi: Nope. I have nothing to do with the experimental builds. I'm 100% for people doing their own personal builds.
00:18:36webguest03sean: I don't think it has been calibrated yet
00:18:41Paul_The_NerdThe experimental ones often lead to confusion and erroneous bug reports.
00:19:18KyomiI only asked because the one doing it... said it was in-sync with mar 31 CVS.. but I boot it up and it still says mar 30
00:19:21Paul_The_Nerdsean: There's a well known "it's not enabled on all ipod types yet, and for those where it isn't it should read 100% all the time" :)
00:19:47*webguest03 thought battery status was sortof-working on some models
00:20:17seani see....so how would one go about knowing how much battery he has left....booting to disc mode?
00:20:24Paul_The_NerdKyomi: Odd.
00:20:34Paul_The_Nerdsean: Yeah, basically.
00:21:10 Quit petur ()
00:21:33seanand the only way out of disc mode is a hard restart? menu + select?
00:22:27Paul_The_NerdYeah
00:22:27KyomiIs the Doom guy still here?
00:22:32seancool
00:22:34Paul_The_NerdThe Doom guy?
00:22:37*webguest03 rummages through Misticriver and finds no "If you think you've found a bug, STOP. Then install a clean build and try to reproduce"
00:22:41seandoom was an awesome game
00:22:43sean:D
00:22:47webguest03This might be a problem..
00:22:49KyomiYeah the one that made the doom game for rockbox :)
00:22:55Kyomidoom I/II
00:22:57sean:o
00:22:58sean!!
00:22:59Paul_The_Nerdwebguest03: I've said that on several threads.
00:23:08seandoom 1 and 2!!!
00:23:11seansean interested!
00:23:20KyomiYou still need to have the wad files for it :P
00:23:26Paul_The_NerdKyomi: That's Karl. He's in the room right now, but he's got no iPod so he's not the one to look to with "It doesn't work on iPod" complaints.
00:23:27seanhahahaha i think i have em
00:23:30webguest03Paul_The_Nerd: Yeah, I meant in the announcement threads etc.
00:23:58KyomiThe only way I know of is to get the experimental build on http://rockbox.audiostuff.info
00:24:10KyomiAnd you have it :)
00:24:10Paul_The_Nerdwebguest03: That was part of the intention with getting it changed from "Optimized" to "Experimental" but there are still actual bug reports filed about bugs that don't exist in CVS.
00:24:11seanhey kyomi got a question for ya....ever play doom3
00:24:21KyomiYep
00:24:26seancdoom?
00:24:27KyomiNever finished it though
00:24:31KyomiYes again
00:24:35seanamazing?!
00:24:37KyomiAlthough... awhile ago
00:24:37webguest03Paul_The_Nerd: Yeah, people need more disclaimers, probably
00:24:46seanthey released the whole first epi
00:24:51 Quit miner49er ("using sirc version 2.211+KSIRC/1.3.11")
00:24:52seanit came out pretty godly
00:25:08KyomiSo they did finish it :)
00:25:11seanyep
00:25:14KyomiThe one I had was only like 3 random levels
00:25:20KyomiIt was looking pretty neat
00:25:21seanand online coop via last man standing
00:25:28seanit really came out astonishingly good
00:25:53Paul_The_Nerdwebguest03: That's why I'm willing to go through hours of responding to posts on the forums helping people get through the process of building their own. At least that way they're much more aware of the fact that there are significant changes being made by patching.

00:50:41 Quit BHSPitLappy (Connection timed out)
00:54:32Paul_The_NerdAnother problem common with them is that people make WPSes that only work in the experimental builds, and it confuses new users when WPSes they download don't work right. So then there are bug reports saying something like "wps doesn't display right" and the build is CVS, but the WPS requires patches.
00:55:02webguest03That's quite unfortunate
00:55:22webguest03More unfortunate is all this artistic talent "wasted" on building wpses that will never work with mainline rockbox
00:55:37webguest03(using the margin-patches)
00:55:41Paul_The_NerdYeah
00:56:04webguest03don't know if that's more unfortunate, but it is also unfortunate, at least
00:56:05Paul_The_NerdWell, I'm sure the patches will be adjusted to use viewports when they become available.
00:56:13 Nick imphasing is now known as imphasing_ (n=imphasin@c-69-250-93-218.hsd1.dc.comcast.net)
00:56:21webguest03Won't they simply be obsolete?
00:57:49Paul_The_NerdWell, yes and no. Ideally viewports should allow old WPSes to work just fine, they will assume for text a viewport the height of one line, and the width of the screen (for each line of text) so that old WPSes display the same.
00:58:13Paul_The_NerdSo, all someone would have to do is strip the margin tag out, and set up narrower viewports for those lines, and it'd probably work again.
00:59:09webguest03Yeah, so you'd use a more general approach to changing the margins of all elements, instead of the ones now used for progressbar, being a part of the %pb tag itself?

01:00:56Paul_The_NerdI really don't know
01:01:39Genre9mp3Paul_The_Nerd: How exactly viewports will work?
01:02:17webguest03Hrm, the WhyRockbox page needs some sort of hwcodec/swcodec split
01:02:56Paul_The_NerdGenre9mp3: Ideally you'll either set an upper left and lower right corner, or an upper left, width, and height. Inside of that you can put text or images and each viewport is treated like its own screen (only scrolls to the edge of the viewport, each one can have its own font hopefully, so on)
01:03:23Paul_The_NerdGenre9mp3: But the proposal isn't finalized yet by any means.
01:03:48 Quit RoC_MM ("Leaving")
01:04:06Genre9mp3so you could use simple text with viewports...
01:04:22Genre9mp3this could solve many aligment problems
01:04:51Genre9mp3And I don't think that it will be hard to update those margin tags
01:04:52Paul_The_NerdGenre9mp3: Yes, it would allow you to position text wherever you wanted.
01:05:44 Join RoC_MM [0] (i=dragon@dsl-29-8.cofs.net)
01:06:22Genre9mp3So, is there a progress on this or just a proposal?
01:07:02Paul_The_NerdAt the moment, it's more proposal than anything else. I don't know if anyone's working on it, but it's one of the features that's hope for 3.1
01:07:13RoC_MMWhat feature is that?
01:07:19Paul_The_NerdViewports

01:07:35RoC_MMWhat's that essentially?
01:08:00Paul_The_NerdCheck the log, I just explained it once already. :)
01:08:09RoC_MMok
01:08:37Genre9mp3So, if I get it right, since viewports will behave like a small screen, we could use different fonts on each?
01:08:52webguest03Not inherently
01:09:01Paul_The_Nerdwebguest03: that's one of the intents of it though
01:09:53Paul_The_Nerdwebguest03: Another one is to open up the Menu in a viewport, to allow some more customization there.
01:10:05webguest03Good to hear, not sure I understand how the two are related, but I guess that's why I'm not a developer
01:10:16 Join linuxstb_ [0] (n=5343d4aa@labb.contactor.se)
01:10:35Genre9mp3...or maybe view the playlist...
01:11:01Genre9mp3I really like this vieport idea...
01:11:29linuxstb_The idea will be to have pop-up windows - so on the larger LCDs, the menu will appear on top of the WPS for example.
01:11:35linuxstb_(I think...)
01:12:02RoC_MMthat would make "press menu to show and menu to hide menu" more intuitive
01:12:07Paul_The_Nerdwebguest03: One of the big problems with multiple fonts on one screen is the fact that scrolling is based on font height. So, limiting one font per viewport, but allowing viewports to have different fonts requires less rework of the scrolling code.
01:12:34linuxstb_RoC_MM: Exactly. Menus act like pop-up menus at the moment, but it's not obvious.
01:13:15RoC_MMSound sweet.
01:13:34webguest03Paul_The_Nerd: I see. Makes sense.
01:13:52***Saving seen data "./dancer.seen"
01:13:58Paul_The_Nerdwebguest03: So yes, while no direct correlation, viewports makes multifont somewhat less difficult if I understand correctly
01:14:40Genre9mp3This could be used also for the rwps....
01:14:46 Quit kclaf (Read error: 110 (Connection timed out))
01:15:56RoC_MMAnybody want a working 10.4gig hard drive (you pay $7 shipping)?
01:17:14Genre9mp3And what about scalability in the wps? Would this be possible?
01:17:34Genre9mp3Have one wps file work for all targets?
01:19:13Paul_The_NerdGenre9mp3: That's *much* more difficult.
01:20:08Paul_The_NerdGenre9mp3: I mean, how do you pick which font to use for each target? Do you design small and scale the images up, or big and scale them down? What if the screen has a different height/width ratio?
01:20:37Genre9mp3The ratio would be a problem...
01:20:48Paul_The_NerdThe fonts would be a problem too.
01:21:13Galoisoperating systems have vectorized fonts just for this purpose
01:21:15Genre9mp3But I think it would be better scale the images down
01:21:34Paul_The_NerdGalois: Operating systems can afford to waste CPU time on vectorized fonts.
01:22:21Genre9mp3Or, we could use target definitions but this would result on huge wps files
01:22:42Paul_The_NerdGenre9mp3: Yeah, but how is that any different from people just making separate WPS files for separate targets?
01:22:47Galoiswell I'm just bitter because none of the wps's work really well with unifont on nano
01:23:13Paul_The_NerdGalois: Well, there aren't many WPS creators making Nano ones...
01:23:51Genre9mp3When creating would make no difference
01:24:13Genre9mp3But would be more user friendly to have a wps file work for all targets
01:24:18GaloisI'm not interested in a plethora of choices, I'd be happy with just one that worked...
01:24:38Paul_The_NerdGenre9mp3: Why's that? The WPS gallery is already split so you know which ones work on what targets...
01:24:45Paul_The_NerdGalois: Then why not just make one, if all you want is one?
01:25:11Galoisbecause there are other things competing for my time right now that I want more
01:25:44Paul_The_NerdGalois: Then I don't really see it as something to be bitter about.
01:25:59 Quit bluebrother^ (Read error: 110 (Connection timed out))
01:26:17Galoisokay okay I apologize, it's a bit early for the april 1st
01:26:34Genre9mp3Yes...the wps galleries are seperated, like the wps creators, making wps for specific targets...
01:27:02Paul_The_NerdGenre9mp3: But what makes you think they'd bother to put in definitions for all targets, if they don't bother to make ones for other targets now?
01:27:31Paul_The_NerdGenre9mp3: All you'd get was a bunch of WPSes that when you try them tell you "Unsupported Target" rather than now where you know in advance you're not supported.
01:27:47Genre9mp3You are right...they probably would not...
01:28:24Genre9mp3but they wouldn't have to if there was a scalable wps system
01:28:50Genre9mp3BTW, are there any plans for album art in the CVS?
01:28:56Paul_The_NerdGenre9mp3: Again, who do you handle the Font question, the "Images would look horrible" question, the "Text in images would quickly become unreadable" question, and the aspect question?
01:30:05Paul_The_NerdAlbum Art is one of the proposed features for Fireworks, but I wouldn't be surprised if it made it into CVS earlier than that. It all depends on the patch author, I guess, or if someone adopts it.
01:30:49Genre9mp3I see some work by the author lately...
01:31:14Paul_The_NerdYeah, he's definitely clearly getting things done.

01:34:37Paul_The_NerdIt wouldn't help much, especially with text in images. And remember, these are pretty slow processors you're dealing with.
01:35:04Paul_The_NerdWhat you're basically proposing is "Make WPSes take MUCH longer to load, make them eat more battery life, but hey, at least you don't have to think before downloading them"
01:35:11Galoisyou can benefit somewhat from subpixel antialiasing on the color screens, as long as the color is on
01:36:02Paul_The_NerdGalois: That only really works will with B&W images though. With color it becomes much more difficult, and you still need some sort of edge detection if you're using raster images. If you went to vector images, it becomes even worse because of how slow the processors are.
01:36:25Galoiswell, I'm not concerned about images, I only care about text
01:36:42Paul_The_NerdGalois: Again, bitmapped fonts are used for a reason. It's very unlikely this will change.
01:36:59Paul_The_NerdGalois: Also, remember that text color can be chosen, and text can be displayed on top of a color background image.
01:37:20webguest03Subpixel rendering and antialiasing are two very different things
01:37:49Galoiscall it subpixel rendering if you wish
01:37:58 Quit linuxstb_ ("CGI:IRC")
01:38:35DBordellois it possible to have a different font for the WPS than the menus? I find that the one i like for the wps is too small
01:38:46Galoissubpixel rendering can be done on bitmapped fonts as well, as long as the subpixel order remains constant. Changing the text color would indeed screw it up though.

01:39:13linuxstbDBordello: No, not yet.
01:39:14webguest03Antialiasing seems more likely than actual subpixel rendering
01:39:24webguest03Don't even know if the screens are suitable for subpixel rendering?
01:39:45Genre9mp3DBordello: There's a multifont patch in the patchtracker
01:39:45Galoiscolor lcds, pretty much by definition, can do subpixel rendering
01:39:48Paul_The_Nerdwebguest03: I think that the H300 isn't, but others are.
01:40:00DBordelloah, would that slow it down too much, or is it going to be incorporated at some point?
01:40:31Paul_The_NerdGalois: Some of them have RGB vertically instead of horizontally I believe. I could be wrong on that one though. So you get an increased resolution along the other axis, which isn't quite as helpful.
01:40:46Paul_The_NerdDBordello: There's actually a patch for different fonts in different screens in the tracker.
01:40:53Galoisoh, but the increased vertical resolution is especially helpful for chinese and japanese characters!!
01:41:21Galoisso unifont users could still benefit
01:41:37Paul_The_NerdGalois: It is indeed. But it's a moot point, since it doesn't fit well with color text and backgrounds.
01:41:43webguest03Except unifont is bitmapped
01:41:45webguest03;)

01:42:34Galoisthat .gif is a bitmap
01:42:36Paul_The_Nerdmidkay: It seemed likely, yes.

01:42:43webguest03Galois: not unless they're prepared for it
01:42:48Paul_The_NerdGalois: Yeah, but the calculations are done while drawing the font, not after its drawn.
01:42:52Galoisthus proving, in principle, that you can do subpixel rendering with a bitmap
01:42:54afruff23in here: http://www.rockbox.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/CustomWPS#Alternating_Sublines
01:42:59afruff23isn't the xample wrong?
01:43:09afruff23because the middle subline has no time specified
01:43:15afruff23or am i wrong?
01:43:19Galoisyou can cut and paste letters out of that .gif and get the font bitmaps without doing the calculations
01:43:23Paul_The_NerdGalois: You'd have to do edge detection, which really isn't that hard in a monochrome image.
01:43:51Paul_The_NerdGalois: Cutting and pasting letters out of that would assume a White background, and black text, *and* require that the font file use something other than a 1-bit image.
01:43:56linuxstbGalois: How well does that work with different font colours and background colours (and background images)?
01:44:13Kyomi!np
01:44:14Galoisit doesn't. You'd have to trade away color selection.

01:46:29Galoispeoples opinions of features differ. I'd personally much rather have subpixel rendering than user-selectable text colors.
01:46:37Galoisbut yeah yeah I know how this open source thing works
01:47:24Paul_The_NerdGalois: Subpixel rendering requires that you calculate whether the vector lands on the left or right side of a single pixel, so that you can choose to either turn off the blue, or turn on the adjacent red. This essentially requires vector based fonts, or that you do edge detection, calculate the vectors, and then use subpixel rendering on them. It doesn't work well with pure raster images.
01:47:34afruff23I want to switch between shuffle and repeat status using sublines; is two seconds enough to view each one's status?
01:47:35*webguest03 thinks that subpixel rendering might work if pixels were physically much smaller than they are
01:47:51GaloisI strongly and vigorously dispute the ridiculous notion that subpixel rendering requires vector calculations
01:47:56Genre9mp3I'd make it 3 sec but you can always test this to see what is best
01:47:59Galoisyou can do it with a stored bitmap. Store a pre-rendered a
01:48:09Galoisdisplay that a whenever an a is needed
01:48:12Galoispoof! done
01:48:17afruff23yea, I was thinking 3 seconds as well
01:48:18afruff23thanks
01:48:52Paul_The_NerdGalois: Then A) It only applies to fonts, B) You need different fonts for RGB and BGR screens, and C) You need different fonts for the H300, and D) You need different fonts for the monochrome targets.

01:49:33Paul_The_NerdGalois: So how again is this in any way a good idea, since all it really does is make things very very slightly prettier?
01:49:46Paul_The_NerdWith so much cost in so many other areas?
01:49:59Galoisyou could say the same thing of user-selectable text colors, or crossfade, or any number of features in rockbox that *I* find useless
01:50:10linuxstbThat's not the issue though - it's possible for the Rockbox build system to render the fonts specifically for each target LCD. But I think the fact that it means Rockbox is forced to have a certain fg and bg colour everywhere is the sticking point.
01:51:03Paul_The_NerdI also don't think subpixel rendering looks very good, especially on many displays that have fairly large pixels. But that's just me.
01:51:51webguest03I'm of the suspicion that displays with pixels small enough that I'd accept subpixel rendering won't need it
01:52:26Paul_The_Nerdwebguest03: I'm of the opinion that monochrome shouldn't contain hints of colors here and there, but that's just me. :)

02:12:58midkayI don't have enough time (or the desire) to create and maintain an offical 'fork' (competing project), but check out my current wish-list if you fancy collaborating on a particular feature.
02:13:14midkayso he says in text that he's not.. what do you see that makes you think he is?
02:13:40webguest03The fact that he won't give back and will probably be releasing his code
02:13:55midkayhe _can't_ give back.
02:14:07midkaywhat else can he do to let people use his stuff?
02:14:15webguest03That doesn't make it less of a fork
02:14:27midkay"good riddance" why, then, i guess?
02:14:37Galoisforks are normal. libvorbis has tons of forks.
02:14:39webguest03Not that that's necessarily a bad thing
02:14:52webguest03I'm just stating that he's forking
02:14:59midkayand commenting? ;)
02:15:33webguest03And good riddance because, well, his attitude was a bit annoying, but the best of luck to him, I guess

02:16:28midkaywebguest03, he has some very cool ideas and features.. it's too bad he can't have them accepted, i'd personally expect an attitude..

02:36:44Galoison a CRT you'll see strobe images of the pencil, with the exact number depending on your refresh rate

02:38:25Paul_The_NerdGalois: The difference with an LCD vs a CRT is that the there's no space *between* frames. It doesn't mean that they aren't updating slower, just that there's no reason *for* there to be a flicker.
02:38:51Paul_The_NerdI'm kinda surprised there's any noticeable strobe on my laptop even
02:39:18Galoisit depends on what kind of work you do, but for certain types of work, slower updates and no flicker is better than faster updates with some flicker

03:17:29sharpei need to get some paper... :D
03:18:41webguest03Heh, http://slashdot.org/
03:18:42Paul_The_Nerdwebguest20: That depends on a lot of things, really. The format can make a difference, other options you enabled can make a difference... the answer is "Maybe"
03:19:46webguest20i dont know, i seem to randomly get skipping....even w/o the eq
03:19:47 Quit Vertigo_tdl (Read error: 104 (Connection reset by peer))
03:19:50webguest20but the eq makes it worse
03:20:26Galoismaybe you can turn off the peak meters?
03:20:34Paul_The_Nerdwebguest20: Well yeah, if you're already getting skipping the EQ will definitely make it worse.

03:21:34webguest20any reason why id be getting skipping?
03:21:47Paul_The_NerdBecause the codecs aren't optimized?
03:22:02webguest20ummm 192kb/s mp3?
03:22:11webguest20what do you mean by codec?
03:22:16Paul_The_NerdMp3 is one of the worst codecs on ipod at the moment.
03:22:23ashridahwebguest03: does the audio thread debug view show the pcm buffer hitting bottom?
03:22:44Paul_The_Nerdwebguest20: Try using a simple WPS that does not have a peakmeter, and little or no graphics
03:23:34webguest20which one of the wps's are the least?
03:23:37webguest20of the default included
03:23:57Paul_The_NerdWell, if you took rockbox_default and stripped the peakmeter, it'd probably qualify
03:24:40webguest20how do i get rid of the peakmeter?
03:25:14Paul_The_Nerdwebguest20: Edit the .wps, though with rockbox_default you'd actually need to create a whole new one. The text for the default one is at the WpsGallery page though, I believe.
03:25:24webguest20i see how it can use some resources
03:26:37webguest20eee how would i go about editing a wps lol
03:27:28Paul_The_Nerdhttp://www.rockbox.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/CustomWPS
03:28:01Paul_The_NerdAnd the default WPS'es code is here http://www.rockbox.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/WpsArchos#The_Rockbox_default_for_Recorder
03:28:16Paul_The_NerdYou should be able to just copy that into a text file named whatever.wps, click on it, and it should set your WPS to that.
03:28:25Paul_The_NerdYou want to delete the %pm line though
03:32:30 Quit xmixahlx ("blah blah blah")
03:32:42webguest20i see
03:32:55webguest20i actually changed it to a more graphical wps....and its not skipping
03:32:57webguest20lol
03:33:01webguest20does that make sense?
03:33:05Paul_The_NerdDid the more graphical one not have a peakmeter?
03:33:09webguest20yeah
03:33:17webguest20its the peakmeter thats doing it isnt it
03:33:19Paul_The_NerdYeah, the peakmeter causes it in a lot of cases on the ipod.
03:33:29webguest20interesting
03:33:41Paul_The_NerdWell, the iPod is pretty strained during MP3 playback at the moment
03:33:59webguest20whys that?
03:34:20*afruff23 is angry that the X5 can't display as much info as others on the WPS
03:35:02MrStaticVoidhow much do you really need to know about what you are playing?
03:35:20Paul_The_Nerdwebguest20: Because we're only using one of the cores, and the codecs haven't been optimized for ARM, and because a lot of relatively new features are pretty processor intensive
03:35:54afruff23I need to know genre of the next song, title, album, artist
03:35:59afruff23all for the next song
03:36:10afruff23it'll be hard to fit all that and still have the basics
03:36:13webguest03Use a smaller font
03:36:20afruff23then it's hard to read
03:36:27webguest03Them's the breaks
03:36:44afruff23what's a small, readable font?
03:36:49Paul_The_Nerdafruff23: Then sell your X5 and get another player
03:37:09afruff23but the X5l has the best battery lfie
03:37:13afruff23life*
03:37:38afruff23does anyone know the mAh for the X5L battery?
03:37:42Paul_The_NerdThen complain ye not about a feature you willingly sacrifices in favour of another one
03:38:03afruff23change what I said earlier from angry to upset
03:38:58MrStaticVoidwell, looking at just the default wps, you can add the genre under the album title
03:39:10MrStaticVoidand then add all the necessary info under the peak meter for the next song
03:39:20MrStaticVoidno need for graphics or anything
03:39:25MrStaticVoidjust plain and simple
03:39:40webguest20the graphical ones are mad nice looking
03:39:43Paul_The_Nerdafruff23: A lot of people use just one line for the next track info, and have it cycle through it
03:39:48webguest20they kill battery life?
03:40:08Paul_The_Nerdwebguest20: Not "kill" but do have an impact I believe
03:40:18afruff23paul, that seems logical but how would one know if it is the album, title , or artist?
03:40:32webguest20whats the avg battery last with rockbox....about 4hrs?
03:40:37MrStaticVoidare you that unfamiliar with what you have?
03:41:09afruff23static, who are you talking to?
03:41:09Paul_The_Nerdafruff23: Include the words "Album:" "Artist:" and "Title:" in the cycle?
03:41:16MrStaticVoidyou afruff23
03:41:23afruff23I knwo but that would take up losts of space
03:41:42Paul_The_Nerdwebguest20: It would kinda depend on a lot of things. For example, which of the many many many assorted players you have, and what settings you have enabled.

03:46:57webguest20well im glad it doesn't skip anymore
03:47:20afruff23at static, I had already considered doing taht, but I keepd ebatign the loss of screen space
03:48:01Paul_The_Nerdafruff23: You can cycle between Artist: %blah, Album: %blah, etc
03:48:32afruff23I know
03:48:33MrStaticVoidwell, i can sympathize, sort of. im more frustrated by the size of the pixels more than the amount of them. but then i remember how cool the x5 is.
03:48:37afruff23that's what you said earlier
03:48:41afruff23and what I was considering
03:48:54Paul_The_NerdYou didn't respond, so I wasn't sure if I was clear enough in how I said it. :)
03:49:12afruff23what player do you use, paul?
03:49:19 Quit webguest20 ("CGI:IRC (EOF)")
03:49:47Paul_The_Nerdafruff23: Iriver H120. Same number of pixels as the X5, but mono. Also a Nano. More pixels, tiny tiny tiny screen
03:50:18sharpewho wants to know what i use?! :D
03:50:24afruff23I've sued a rockboxed nano
03:50:36afruff23is it jsut me or does the scrllwheel soemtiems get screwy
03:50:44afruff23like it goes up isntead of down
03:50:51afruff23for half a second
03:51:00afruff23used*
03:51:29afruff23what you use sharpe? I know you typed it up, so hiit ENTER
03:51:31Paul_The_Nerdafruff23: That was a really old bug.
03:51:50afruff23oh, I used it just 3 weeks ago
03:51:56afruff23or is that really old
03:52:03sharpeactually, i haven't typed it yet
03:52:08sharpeipod video
03:52:15sharpenow i have.
03:52:47Paul_The_Nerdafruff23: Odd. It was quite a bit before then, are you sure it wasn't a very out of date build? Of course, if you aren't used to an iPod's wheel, it's very easy to have that happen when you put your finger down, pick it up, or just stop moving.
03:53:15afruff23it didn't hapen all the time
03:53:22afruff23I didn't use a cvs build though
03:53:28afruff23I used daily I believe
03:53:33sharpewere you intoxicated at times of it happening?
03:53:38afruff23no
03:53:40sharpebecause that may have something to do with it.
03:53:46Paul_The_NerdWell, if it was just accidental from finger placement it wouldn't happen often
03:53:55afruff23maybe I lifted my thumb too late
03:54:01Paul_The_NerdThe bug itself only occurred at the top of the wheel (or maybe it was the bottom. It was where the number went from 95 to 0)

03:59:37afruff23it was soemwhere though
03:59:43Paul_The_NerdI believe there's a patch
03:59:49sharpehowever i do get made fun of for my background.
04:00
04:00:00MrStaticVoidive been having the hardest time getting replaygain to work at all
04:00:29MrStaticVoidi think ive settled on mp3gain just not liking id3v2.4 tags
04:00:35MrStaticVoidbut i have no evidence for it
04:00:53 Quit TCK (Read error: 110 (Connection timed out))
04:00:56scottderI use foobar2000 to do my replaygain tagging

04:01:28scottderAhh :)

04:04:33MrStaticVoidh120 does to, doesnt it?
04:04:34afruff23am Iright?
04:04:48afruff23i wouldn't know
04:05:23Paul_The_NerdThe H120 has a physical LED for the HD
04:05:25scottderNow i wish I had a 5G Ipod :)
04:05:27Paul_The_NerdThe iPods and H300 do not
04:05:45afruff23what do you guys think of a volume meter with the shuffle and repeat status inside of it?
04:09:42scottdersounds neat :)
04:14:01afruff23I did that, but the problem is I don't knwo how nice it's going to look on the different screens
04:14:14afruff23It would probably look best on the X5 since it's pixels are huge
04:15:55Paul_The_NerdI personally see no problem with making wpses for just one screen size, though it'd be nice if the WPS zip was named Whatever_160x128x16.zip for clarity
04:16:28afruff23what's the x16 for?
04:16:31afruff23BPP?
04:17:02sharpeoh, hey paul, did i ever tell you about the progress of the packaged wps idea?
04:17:20afruff23what's that?
04:17:34Paul_The_Nerdsharpe: No, what news?
04:17:45sharpein essence, it works.
04:18:10sharpewith uncompressed zips, and at the moment, one wps per zip.
04:18:18Paul_The_NerdWhich is really how it should be
04:18:28afruff23can you care to explain?
04:18:29sharpethink so?
04:18:39sharpeabout?
04:18:40afruff23it autmatically updates your cfg file or something?
04:18:43Paul_The_NerdI think one file / wps is *exactly* how it should be.
04:18:48afruff23oh
04:18:52sharpeheh...
04:19:00Paul_The_Nerdafruff23: Basically, all the .bmps, the .wps, etc would be in one uncompressed .zip
04:19:09afruff23I thought wpses are already zipped...
04:19:14sharpeso it's easier to handle/distribute
04:19:14Paul_The_NerdNope
04:19:23sharpenot on the player...
04:19:46afruff23oh, on the palyer
04:19:50Paul_The_Nerdsharpe: The way I see it, the .cfg exists outside the .zip though. The zip is just the .wps and the images it loads.
04:19:52afruff23I thought you meant online
04:21:09afruff23anybody know any free image hosting sites which support PNG files and batch uploading and require no username or password?
04:21:19Paul_The_NerdHehehe
04:21:48sharpedo you think it matters if it extracts it to a temporary directory, as i don't see how it'd be possible without doing so, but some people don't like the idea of a temp directory...
04:22:41Paul_The_Nerdsharpe: Hmm... I really don't know. I can see that as being a problem if people fill up their unit, and then switch WPSes, expecting it to work...
04:22:56afruff23ok, does anyone know a site that matches my criteria but requires a username and password?
04:22:56Paul_The_NerdSo, while I wouldn't mind a temp folder, I can see some confusion occurring because of one
04:23:25sharpebut it could also clear the temp directory when different WPSes are chosen
04:24:34Paul_The_Nerdsharpe: Yeah, but the way I see it, you'd have to have a temporary empty file the size of the WPS buffer. Delete it, extract the WPS to the folder, load the WPS. Then, since the WPS is loaded into memory now, clear the folder and rebuild the temp file (is that possible?) That way a user can never use the space reserved for it.
04:25:33sharpethe odd thing is, last time i checked, there were no functions to remove a directory from within a plugin without adding one.
04:25:46Paul_The_NerdOdd
04:26:06sharpecan create, not remove...
04:26:11afruff23http://s2.simpload.com/0331442de4b0848bd.png
04:26:17afruff23will the pink part be transparent
04:26:31afruff23I want to dispaly an image in the middle of it
04:26:40Paul_The_Nerdafruff23: Is the pink 255,0,255?
04:26:40afruff23display another*
04:26:43afruff23yes
04:26:44Paul_The_NerdThen yes
04:27:06afruff23what about my secodn question?
04:27:11afruff23second*
04:27:13Paul_The_NerdI personally think we should've chosen 254,0,254 just in case someone really did want that pink, so they wouldn't have to slide the sliders slightly back to get it.
04:27:22sharpeyeah, for directory functions, only : opendir, closedir, readdir, and mkdir...
04:27:28Paul_The_Nerdafruff23: I only see one question...
04:27:40afruff23oh, hehe
04:27:42 Quit maeck ("Chatzilla 0.9.72 [Firefox 1.5.0.1/2006011112]")
04:27:51afruff23will I be able to display another iamge on top of the middle part?
04:27:52Paul_The_Nerdsharpe: Odd. How does the context menu delete function work on directories, or can it?
04:28:26Paul_The_Nerdafruff23: You should be able to. I would try to make sure it didn't cover the edge bits (or cut out pink bits of it where they are) so that neither tries to draw on top of the other
04:28:49sharpeoh, it uses a static function in... let me find it...
04:29:00afruff23yea, it wouldn't overla the pink part
04:29:06afruff23overlap8
04:29:09afruff23I eman
04:29:16afruff23it wouldn't overlap the non-pink part
04:29:31Paul_The_Nerdafruff23: Then it should work, yeah
04:29:56afruff23what would the pink part be in the final product, will it jsut allow the backdrop to show a biut
04:29:58afruff23bit*
04:30:10afruff23if no image is dispalyed on top of it that is
04:30:15afruff23displayed*
04:31:01Paul_The_Nerdafruff23: Yeah, backdrop
04:31:31afruff23couldn't they have integrated transparency another way
04:31:36afruff23isntead of using aanother color
04:31:42afruff23?
04:31:57sharpeyeah, it uses a static function in apps/onplay.c "remove_dir" which does it recursively over all the directories and files...
04:32:04Paul_The_NerdIsn't the only other way either mask-images (more disk reads) or alpha layer (32-bit images necessary, plus processing power)
04:32:12Paul_The_Nerdsharpe: Aaah
04:32:43afruff23are you guys PMing each toehr, because sharpe just comes in with random posts
04:32:59afruff23other*
04:33:03Paul_The_NerdNah, he's answering questions I've asked.
04:33:09sharpeline 333...
04:33:17sharpehooray for grep
04:33:29Paul_The_Nerdgrep is your friend
04:33:42sharpemmhmm.
04:33:46afruff23will the following patches be commited to CVS?
04:34:06afruff23font scaling in WPS, album art, eq in WPS
04:34:22sharpeprobably eventually...
04:34:24Paul_The_Nerdafruff23: only time will tell.
04:34:27Paul_The_NerdI suspect the font scaling one won't
04:34:34Paul_The_NerdThe album art almost definitely will though
04:34:44afruff23why not fon scaling?
04:34:46afruff23buggy?
04:34:53afruff23font*
04:35:16Paul_The_NerdBecause it really doesn't do much, and only works well with one or two fonts.
04:35:27Paul_The_NerdIt's better just to do true multi-font, and prerender proper resized fonts
04:35:35afruff23oh, is it because the fonts are bitmaps
04:35:38Paul_The_NerdYup
04:35:38afruff23or are they vectors
04:35:41Paul_The_NerdBitmaps
04:35:55sharpelets make up a vector based rockbox font system
04:36:05Paul_The_NerdYes, because the menus need to be *slower*
04:36:07afruff23that's just what I was going to say
04:36:13afruff23oh
04:36:15sharpeheheh
04:36:20Paul_The_NerdAnd WPS drawing needs to take up more CPU time.
04:36:25Paul_The_NerdAnd the whole thing wants to make me cry.
04:36:29Paul_The_Nerd:)
04:36:52afruff23well, is there a multifont patch
04:36:59afruff23or is ti already in the CVS
04:37:00sharpepaul, should the extension be .zip, or should it be some other extension to prevent confusion with .zip files without a wps, if there ever is support for them of course...
04:37:03Paul_The_NerdThere's a patch that lets you have different fonts in WPS and Menus
04:37:10Paul_The_Nerdsharpe: .wzp?
04:37:38Paul_The_NerdIt seems like the extension should be something you can put in viewers.config to allow one-click loading, so definitely not .zip in my opinion
04:37:49Paul_The_Nerdafruff23: Nothing in-cvs for multifont yet
04:37:49sharpei'm thinking something similar, but midkay thinks there'd be too much confusion with how to create said packaged wps file...
04:37:49afruff23.WPS already occupies a known extension
04:38:00Paul_The_Nerdsharpe: .wzip?
04:38:29sharpeeh, maybe...
04:38:32afruff23doesn't some word processor already use WPS for it's docs?
04:38:32CtcpIgnored 1 channel CTCP requests in 0 seconds at the last flood
04:38:32*Paul_The_Nerd shrugs
04:38:37afruff23from corel I think
04:38:37sharpe.wpz?
04:38:46Paul_The_Nerdsharpe: .wpz is fine with me.
04:38:47sharpe'while playing zip'
04:38:56Paul_The_NerdAs long as it's not .wps or .zip, I'm happy with it. :)
04:38:57afruff23oh eya
04:38:59afruff23MS works
04:39:06sharpewhat about you afruff, is .wpz fine with you?
04:39:15afruff23I don't care
04:39:29afruff23jsut don't make it anything other than 3 letters
04:39:37sharpei think my ipod's the only one that *had* support for uncompressed zip files...
04:39:59afruff23wait
04:40:01sharpeas i accidentally deleted the source for the plugin that handled the menu and everything for zip files... in a cygwin accident.
04:40:05afruff23I think winamp already uses it
04:40:11afruff23search google for WPZ file
04:40:48Paul_The_Nerdafruff23: It doesn't matter if some program uses it, as long as it's not used by some other aspect of rockbox.
04:40:57sharpeyeah...
04:41:11afruff23I knwo, but ti might confuse people with a programassociated with the filetype
04:41:12sharpewho knew ". sf" was a windows system file :\
04:41:25afruff23SeeYou is a planning and analysis tool for glider pilots. It is designed for the desktop and notebook PCs.
04:41:31afruff23that program uses WPZ
04:41:42sharpethat's all i could find.
04:41:55sharpewhat percentage of rockbox users, use "SeeYou" ?
04:42:04afruff23what about WPF?

04:42:40afruff23nvm WPF is in use too
04:42:41Paul_The_Nerdafruff23: There are so many file associations out there, it's almost impossible to avoid one. I think .wpz is safe, the SeeYou people can deal
04:42:51sharpeheheh
04:43:10afruff23http://filext.com/detaillist.php?extdetail=WPF
04:43:16afruff23nothing uses it
04:43:23afruff23so WPF would eb good
04:43:25afruff23be*
04:43:43sharpethe cool thing is, i had redone most of the code for the zip plugin and just applied it to the packaged wps plugin, so it should be easy to go back to the normal zip viewer
04:43:49sharpefrom memory too
04:43:50afruff23actually wordperfect uses it for text files
04:44:09afruff23wouldn't it jsut eb easier to make rockbox read zipped files
04:44:11sharpei like wpz... because it has a 'z' in it...
04:44:30Paul_The_NerdI like wpz too
04:44:42sharpeif someone made a plugin to deal with all the forms of compression, without using 'malloc'
04:44:47Paul_The_Nerdafruff23: Easier than saying "We both like WPZ, so that's it?"
04:45:30sharpefrom this moment henceforth, i declare packaged wps files to have the extension ".wpz" muahahah...
04:45:32afruff23I don't knwo how complicated it is to create a new filetype
04:45:35 Quit DBordello (Read error: 110 (Connection timed out))
04:45:43afruff23is ti jsut renaming the extension in this case?
04:45:49sharpeyep
04:45:55afruff23oh
04:45:56afruff23nvm
04:46:34afruff23does rockbox already handle wpz files
04:46:37sharpepaul, i've an idea, what about a custom made file format, which would just have the basics of file information in the headers, to cut down on the space used in the zip headers...
04:46:40sharpenope
04:47:21Paul_The_Nerdsharpe: You mean, basically have a tool to append the bitmaps all on the end sequentially, and create a header for parsing the file?
04:47:41sharpemore or less... :)
04:47:58Paul_The_Nerdsharpe: I think the only problem with that is that it makes it difficult for completely lay users to edit it. A zip-compressed one can be unzipped by anyone, and then it's all bitmaps and a text file.
04:48:02sharpeor have like a trimmed down zip format
04:48:27Paul_The_NerdI mean, *I* like the idea, but it needs to be something that anyone can do, on nearly any computer and OS.
04:48:40sharpeyeah, tis the only real problem with it
04:49:29Paul_The_NerdIt clears overhead at the cost of ease of use.
04:49:39Paul_The_NerdOr most specifically, ease of editing someone else's work
04:49:53sharpeyeah
04:50:50sharpeso, there should be just one wps per package, ye think?
04:51:02Paul_The_NerdAbsolutely
04:51:09scottderI want to build a theme around this:
04:51:13scottderhttp://alpacainfo.com/newsite/magazine/issues/2kspr.html
04:51:21scottderAlapaca's and Betty White
04:51:22scottder:)
04:51:22sharpebitmaps in their own folder, or just the root of the zip?
04:51:40Paul_The_NerdHm
04:51:52Paul_The_NerdOwn folder I suppose.
04:51:54sharpewell, you do that...
04:52:10Paul_The_NerdJust so that if someone extracts a bunch of wpses into the same folder for some silly reason it's not too much of a jumbled mess.
04:52:19sharpeheheh
04:52:34Paul_The_NerdSo, WPSName.wps and /WPSName/blah.bmp
04:52:40sharpeyeah...
04:52:41Paul_The_NerdLike how it works now. :)
04:52:47sharpewhat other features should there be...
04:53:21afruff23include theme(.cfg file)
04:53:25Paul_The_NerdI think that's really about it, in my opinion. I think rwpses should be packaged on their own, since in reality they're just a wps for a lower res and depth screen, so could really be used elsewhere
04:53:35Paul_The_Nerdafruff23: The theme.cfg should absolutely *not* be in the archive.
04:53:49sharpescore! less work for me.
04:53:59afruff23but don't soem WPSes require certain things to look right
04:54:13Paul_The_Nerdafruff23: Yeah, but you can click on the theme.cfg which then loads the .wpz
04:54:16afruff23such as fonts
04:54:48Paul_The_Nerdafruff23: Meanwhile, if you prefer a different font, or color combination, you can load the .wpz manually and then set the color and font yourself. That's why there are .wps files and configs separate right now
04:55:04Paul_The_NerdAll the .wpz should do is consolidate the information in the .wps, and its bitmaps, into one file
04:55:14Paul_The_NerdIt shouldn't include any functionality from the next level up like themes
04:55:29Paul_The_NerdOtherwise it's a compressed theme, not a compressed wps
04:55:40sharpeand for the plugin to work, it requires at least two additions to the plugin api, and if there are to be the removal of previous wpses, three.
04:55:50sharpewait, add one to each of those
04:55:54Paul_The_NerdHehehe
04:56:30sharpei don't like commenting my code much...
04:56:38afruff23so how would a WPS creator submit WPS files? Just rename the .zip?
04:56:44afruff23or is a program needed?
04:56:55sharperenaming should do just fine
04:57:58sharpethink /.rockbox/wpspkg is an okay temp directory, or should it be something more general...
04:58:05Paul_The_NerdThat seems fine
04:58:43Paul_The_Nerdafruff23: Well, if they wanted to submit a whole theme, then they'd zip up /themes/mytheme.cfg /backdrops/mybackdrop.bmp /wps/mywps.wpz and submit that.
04:59:04sharpehow many zip entries should there be a max of, i'm thinking... 55...
04:59:25Paul_The_Nerdsharpe: Hm. .wps, and 52bmps for the moment, right?
04:59:42sharpeyeah, and then an entry for the bmp dir...
04:59:53sharpeand maybe one for a credits and whatnot file
05:00
05:00:09Paul_The_NerdYeah
05:00:14Paul_The_NerdSo 55 seems reasonable.
05:00:15afruff23what is bmp.dir?
05:00:26Paul_The_Nerdafruff23: The directory where the bitmaps go?
05:00:31afruff23oh
05:00:46afruff23I didn't know fodlers were counted as files
05:00:47afruff23hehe
05:00:54afruff23folders*
05:01:06sharpein zip files, folders are essentially blank file entries
05:01:18afruff23do you think the 52 image limti will ever be removed?
05:01:28afruff23the only reason it is like that is ebcause of the alphabet
05:01:36sharpenot much point in it...
05:01:37afruff23limit*
05:01:53Paul_The_Nerdafruff23: It's possible. The main reason it's like that was because 50 seems like enough, and 52 works well with the alphabet.
05:01:56afruff23You could make a custom progress abr
05:02:06afruff23bar*
05:02:11Paul_The_Nerdafruff23: You can already make a custom progress bar.
05:02:24Paul_The_Nerdafruff23: It draws more of the image the further along the pb goes.
05:02:25 Quit tianjing (Read error: 110 (Connection timed out))
05:02:26afruff23ok, custom volume
05:02:29afruff23with 40 steps
05:02:45Paul_The_Nerdafruff23: Remember, every image you load with a WPS exists in RAM. It decreases space for the audio buffer.
05:02:54afruff23oh
05:03:06sharpethe more images, the more chances of it skipping during audio playblack
05:03:12sharpe... playback
05:03:16afruff23well a small graphic volume wouldn't take up much RAM
05:03:21 Join maeck [0] (n=chatzill@c-24-5-215-181.hsd1.ca.comcast.net)
05:04:03Paul_The_Nerdafruff23: if it's small, why would you have 40 steps?
05:04:03afruff23nvm then
05:04:11afruff23the X5 had 40 steps
05:04:15afruff23in the orig FW
05:04:20afruff23and it was pretty small
05:04:30Paul_The_NerdI think we have different definitions of small...
05:04:47afruff23what, the X5's volume bar was big?
05:04:52Paul_The_NerdI haven't seen it
05:05:05Paul_The_NerdBut to me, small is "less than 1/4 of the screen in width" for say, a volume bar.
05:05:13afruff23it is
05:05:17Paul_The_NerdThat's 32 pixels wide
05:05:19afruff23it's like a 6th
05:05:21sharpewhen i think small, i think filesize... :)
05:05:30afruff23heh
05:05:31Paul_The_NerdErr 40 pixel
05:05:37afruff23oh nvm
05:05:45Paul_The_Nerd1/4 is 40 pixels
05:05:50afruff23it's really small though
05:05:52Paul_The_Nerd1/6 is even less. I don't see how you would get 40 steps.
05:05:58Paul_The_NerdAt least not visibly
05:06:09afruff23that's why i said nvm
05:06:13Paul_The_NerdBut remember, the volume bar could be done just like the progress bar
05:06:17Paul_The_NerdShow x% of the image
05:06:21Paul_The_NerdRather than using 40 images
05:06:22afruff23or maybe it only showed every 2 volume steps
05:06:31sharpefrom 40 images to one...
05:06:39sharpesuch a wonderful idea.
05:06:44Paul_The_NerdYeah, I like my idea better too. :-P
05:07:01Paul_The_NerdI mean, most of the code is already there with the progress bar.
05:07:33Paul_The_NerdHeck, it's possible you could reuse it with peakmeters, and maybe even that EQ in WPS thing, and save a *lot* of images people seem to want to use.

05:08:39afruff23well, I need at least 18 images to jsut show just my volume, repeat status, and shuffle status in the WPS I'm kaing
05:08:47sharpereally, really bad timing for my router to die on me.
05:08:48afruff23just*
05:09:03afruff23what router you got?
05:09:16sharpeno idea really
05:09:48afruff23I got mine for $10
05:09:50sharpejust when there is a considerable amount of traffic for an extended period of time over my wifi, it cuts off.
05:09:54afruff23802.11g wireless
05:10:06afruff23Belkin
05:10:17afruff23never had any problems
05:10:25Paul_The_Nerdafruff23: There's also the combined bitmaps idea
05:10:38afruff23what's that?
05:10:55afruff23show jsut a bt of the bitmap as you go?
05:10:57Paul_The_NerdOne big image that you use parts of basically
05:10:58afruff23just*
05:11:00sharpei can say i'm not responisble for that idea.
05:11:16Paul_The_NerdIt really wouldn't solve any of the RAM issues, but it does make WPSes load a good bit faster
05:11:26Paul_The_NerdReally, if you run out of images for your bitmap, you're using too many
05:12:17afruff23well, as i said i'm already at 7 images for the repeat status and shuffle status
05:12:36afruff23look at this code
05:12:37afruff23%?mm<%?ps<"off1"|"off0">|%?ps<"all1"|"all0">|%?ps<"one1"|"one0">|%?ps<%s%t3"off1";%s%t3"shuf"|"shuf">|%?ps<%s%t3"ab";%s%t1"off1"|"ab">>

05:13:23scottderNot a HUGE deal but would be nice
05:13:29afruff23that's pseudo code BTW

05:15:48afruff23do toher countries use Social security numbers?
05:15:56afruff23besides the US
05:16:04afruff23other*
05:16:26Paul_The_NerdWell, since the whole SSN thing is for US Social Security, technically no.
05:16:37afruff23that' what I thought
05:16:48sharpethey have different number systems
05:16:52sharpeer, for such a thing
05:17:01afruff23but I thought other countries might have given people a barcode or number to identify them
05:17:06sharpestill base ten, and the real number system.
05:17:06afruff23oh
05:17:10afruff23I guess so
05:17:27scottderCan't give you my SS, tattooed on the back of my neck...can't see it without a mirror
05:17:30*Paul_The_Nerd wants an SSN with an imaginary component

05:21:46afruff23can anybody guess the 3 biggest complaints about the X5 pre-rockbox?
05:21:56afruff23the third will shock you
05:21:56Paul_The_NerdNo gapless
05:22:05Paul_The_NerdAnd, umm, X and Y.
05:22:17afruff23no, not really asicn eonly the Rio karma people really wanted it
05:22:25afruff23no ID3 database
05:22:28sharpe"firmware not named 'rockbox' ?"
05:22:34afruff23crappy screen
05:22:40Paul_The_NerdLack of Gapless was a pretty huge complain about the H1x0 and H3x0 and iPods, it seems
05:22:41afruff23and no hebrew support
05:22:49Paul_The_NerdActually the lack of hebrew doesn't surprise me at all
05:22:55afruff23that's because now they have rockbox
05:23:06afruff23why not?
05:23:15afruff23Israel's pretty small
05:23:26Paul_The_NerdI saw how many people were interested in it for the iRivers, as well as when unicode was being worked on
05:23:31afruff23and there's about 0.2% JEwish people in the world
05:23:36sharpeactually...
05:23:39sharpehold on.
05:23:46afruff23but doesn't that seem a bit wierd to you
05:24:10sharpethere are approximately 16,600,000 that belong to the jewish faith
05:24:30Paul_The_NerdIt seems a bit odd that there's that much music tagged in Hebrew I suppose

05:26:45afruff23hwo recent does it say it is

05:27:06Paul_The_NerdIt shouldn't make *that* big of a difference if its a decade old or a year old
05:27:10Paul_The_NerdAt least for percentages
05:27:57afruff23no, this site I'm looking at says that the jewish opulation has grown 0.3%
05:28:08afruff23while the earth's population gre 1.4%
05:28:11afruff23gre*
05:28:21afruff23in one year
05:28:26afruff23http://www.simpletoremember.com/vitals/world-jewish-population.htm
05:29:46Paul_The_NerdI think the reason that Hebrew support is so wanted is because it's one of the less supported languages.
05:30:05Paul_The_NerdIn terms of DAPs, you can expect to see English, Korean, Japanese, and many many other languages very commonly
05:30:10sharpewhich makes as much sense as supporting uncompressed zips ;)
05:30:34sharpetell me a number, and i'll pick a religion.
05:30:41afruff23but to haev such a demand for it, there needs to be a great number of people demanding it
05:30:50Paul_The_Nerdafruff23: Or just very vocal people.
05:31:05Paul_The_Nerdafruff23: I mean, what hard numbers do you have that it's actually the 3rd most wanted feature?
05:31:13afruff23I don't
05:31:22afruff23but I've seens everal posters on iaudiophile.net

05:37:37sharpeyeah, scientology

06:05:48Paul_The_NerdI would pick a company that *doesn't* seem likely to ever pick on rockbox
06:05:49maeckand rockbox is really getting ground in their ipod space.
06:05:53Paul_The_NerdY'know, so you don't agitate anyone

06:17:20afruff23any plans to support variables within WPSes?
06:17:29afruff23user-defined that is
06:17:39Paul_The_NerdWhat exactly for?
06:17:45sharpeyou mean like, with a scripting language for wpses?
06:17:49afruff23so it's easier to display conditional images
06:17:59afruff23for the x and y coordinates
06:18:24afruff23isntead of typing so and so coordinate
06:18:36afruff23you make a variable set to so and so plus x amount
06:18:51Paul_The_NerdThat seems kinda pointless
06:18:52afruff23so you could port it much easier to other targets
06:19:01 Quit Rob2222 (Read error: 113 (No route to host))
06:19:04afruff23adn if you ever found a design error it would be easy to fix
06:19:09afruff23and8
06:19:36afruff23so you could set locations of things relative to other things
06:19:53sharpescripting language! yay!
06:19:56Paul_The_NerdWell, when you have viewports you set them relative to the upper left corner of the viewport they're in
06:20:28Paul_The_NerdBut it seems like variables just for relative positioning is saying "Here, let's make the code needlessly more complex and waste space so that designers can be lazy"
06:20:50Paul_The_NerdRemember that the WPS code is essentially the same on all targets, and the Archoses have a very limited maximum size for rockbox
06:21:16Paul_The_NerdSo, for something to be a worthwhile feature, it really has to *add* something
06:21:29sharpelike packaged wpses ;)
06:21:45sharpenot really much though.
06:21:58sharpejust organization and uniformity in distributing wpses
06:22:49XavierGrrockbox has opened up major fronts
06:22:50Paul_The_Nerdsharpe: http://forums.rockbox.org/index.php?topic=3064.0 <−−- Look at the proposed 3.1 features. Then think "Hmm, which one have I just basically implemented?" :-P
06:23:22sharpeexactly :)
06:23:34XavierGreven the H series which is going for realese has many things which have to been corrected added

06:25:38sharpehmm... any other major ideas for the packaged wpses?
06:27:00Paul_The_NerdI think they should be kept fairly simple, really
06:27:27sharpeyeh, tis the plan
06:27:59sharpeso far... 55 max zip entries, one wps per zip... bitmaps in their respective folder...
06:28:49sharpethen i've just got to clean up the code and take out some stored stuff in the headers, so less space is taken up by the 55 entry array
06:29:07Paul_The_NerdFrom my personal perspective, that's exactly what it should be. But then again, I'm one person. :)
06:29:14sharpeheh
06:30:37fiftyfour123add hfs to rockbox
06:31:21Paul_The_NerdIs there even a real benefit to adding another file system support?
06:31:35fiftyfour123yes, i will be able to use rockbox
06:31:49Paul_The_NerdYou *are* able to use rockbox
06:31:55Paul_The_NerdYou choose not to take the steps necessary to do so
06:32:02fiftyfour123without converting to fat32
06:32:13Paul_The_NerdAh, but you didn't specify that.
06:32:15afruff23fat32 is superior anyway
06:32:23sharpeyeah, it's 'fat'
06:32:32sharpewhich is phonetically the same as 'phat'
06:32:33Paul_The_NerdSo again, what's the actual *advantage* to Rockbox of supporting HFS?
06:32:45sharpewhich is essentially the same as 'fucking cool'
06:33:08fiftyfour123it saves me the time
06:33:13fiftyfour123lol
06:33:19Paul_The_NerdI said "the advante TO rockbox"
06:33:23afruff23fiftyfour123, I think you meant HFS+
06:33:23Paul_The_Nerdadvantage
06:33:49sharpepaul, should i put the crc32 check in, or leave it out?
06:34:09fiftyfour123hfs hfs+ same thing
06:34:15afruff23no they're not
06:34:26Paul_The_Nerdsharpe: How much does it cost?
06:34:35sharpespacewise or timewise?
06:34:39Paul_The_NerdTimewise
06:34:55sharpegive me a minute..
06:35:06fiftyfour123ok fine can someone port rockbox to HFS+
06:35:08Paul_The_NerdThere are already some core devs that feel the WPS load takes too long.
06:35:24Paul_The_Nerdfiftyfour123: Or.... you format your single iPod to fat32

06:36:48afruff23can't*
06:37:16fiftyfour123right
06:37:19Paul_The_Nerdfiftyfour123: If you're using Rockbox, there should be little incentive to update your Apple firmware anyway. And updating it requires restoring your iPod by one means or other to Pure Apple first anyway
06:37:21ashridahi assume you don't mean rockbox when you say "firmware", which is why i'm confused :)
06:37:21afruff23so don't use iPo'd stock firmware
06:37:54sharpei really don't see a point in crc32 for the wps loading...
06:38:33Paul_The_Nerdsharpe: then leave 'er out. If someone complains, tell them to implement it themselves
06:38:46sharpeheh, true.

06:40:15Paul_The_NerdChoices choices
06:40:22sharpeyeah...
06:41:02Paul_The_Nerdfiftyfour123: HFS+ support doesn't really give *rockbox* anything in the end. Especially since it's aimed as a replacement firmware, so the expectation is that you won't be using the apple FW once you use it. I wouldn't go holding your breath for it.
06:41:17fiftyfour123w/e
06:42:04sharpemeanwhile, lets do ext2 support ;)
06:42:28maeckHaving HFS would only make sense to play video in the retail FW and you own an apple

06:43:55maeckI am not affected, and I do not care
06:44:14Paul_The_Nerdmaeck: I'd say that iTunes on OSX not playing well with Fat32 iPods is apple's problem. That sounds like a bug.
06:44:58maeckNo it is a very deliberate decision on Apple's part. Just like not supporting WMA...

06:47:42maeckbut then again, from an Apple point of view. They could support hfs from itunes in windows. They just wont.
06:47:56sharpeit's discrimination!
06:48:47Paul_The_NerdI guess "w/e" means "whatever" or something like that?

06:52:23maeckdid you hear, Apple is trying to shut down rockbox
06:52:33ashridahi think rockbox needs an X11 server implementation. and a usb-network driver.
06:52:36ashridahit's unusuable without it
06:52:50ashridahi'll never recomment rockbox to anyone until that happens :)
06:52:55ashridahrecommend even

07:10:10amiconn'Unsupported' in the ipl sense doesn't mean that it doesn't work
07:10:34amiconnIt just means that they don't deem it stable enough to support you if there are problems
07:11:20amiconnThat said, I tried ipl on my mini 2g ('unsupported' as well) and it worked exactly once, after the first reboot
07:11:22Ricky28269i don't much like apple
07:11:38amiconnFurther reboots just hung.
07:11:39Ricky28269apple tries to keep everything way too simple, they dumb things down too much
07:11:49Ricky28269like the ipods - those things need more buttons
07:12:02amiconnAfter 5 hours of hacking, I got rockbox running on it :)

07:24:57Paul_The_NerdI don't think anyone *has* one of those
07:25:14Ricky28269lol, im sure plenty of people do
07:25:25Paul_The_NerdI meant "anyone doing development work"
07:25:33Ricky28269well, most of those people probably dont have rockbox... yeah.......
07:26:09Ricky28269but that would be awesome. one of the devs should give me some sort of debug program thing to run and capture the input, and then design cradle support based on that :)
07:26:28sharpeoh, i'm in a better mood.

07:26:40Ricky28269?
07:27:19Ricky28269i've always wondered... what "services" does that message mean, when it says "Nick collision from services."
07:27:29Paul_The_NerdNickServ(ice)
07:27:56sharpetwo people, both named 'nick,' were in a head on collision with each other.
07:28:05Paul_The_NerdIt means that midkay told nickserv "Hey, I'm back. Kick of midkay so that I can change to that nick, because it's not really me any more"
07:28:20Ricky28269well yea i kno how it works, the ghost command and all that...
07:28:22Paul_The_Nerdoff
07:28:31Ricky28269but how is it a service when your irc client closes unexpectedly? lol
07:28:48Paul_The_NerdThe service is Nickserv kicking your ghost.
07:28:53Paul_The_NerdNot the crash that caused the ghost
07:28:54Ricky28269i consider it more of an annoyance than a service, when windows randomly decides "hey, no talking right now!" and performs an "illegal operation"

08:41:43XavierGrwhat works?
08:42:05sharpepackaged wps plugin i be working on
08:42:07midkaysharpe, so what's the overall status? :)
08:42:36sharpeseems to be stable
08:42:46midkaywhat works + how, i mean?
08:42:59sharpejust got to add the function to remove previous temp folder...
08:43:38sharpewell, correctly extracts and identifies if there is any compression or absence of wps file, and fails gracefully.
08:44:19sharpealso made some string functions on the way
08:44:58midkaycan you view zips without extracting?
08:45:09sharpethat's saved for another plugin
08:45:17midkaywhat plugin is this then? :)
08:45:17 Join ScootScat [0] (n=yeahrigh@71-80-131-108.dhcp.hspr.ca.charter.com)
08:45:27sharpethis is the plugin for specifically packaged wpses :)
08:46:04sharpeand the extension is going to be .wpz, just a renamed zip to avoid confusion with zip files
08:46:13sharpeand there is only one wps per zip
08:46:54midkaygood luck getting it accepted with .wpz, i think..
08:47:25 Quit ScoTTie (Connection timed out)
08:47:27sharpeeh, paul and a few others like the alternate extension
08:47:32midkaythey didn't even like the idea of my .rbp or whatever it was some years ago for "rockbox preset" - sound settings saved from the menu.. even if it was generated by rockbox itself..
08:47:47midkaythey don't like new extensions, and i see why..
08:48:09Paul_The_Nerdmidkay: But wouldn't that just be a .cfg that only had select lines included?
08:48:11midkaye.g. windows has "show file extensions" off by default - so i can see a lot of questions coming up about how to make rbz files..
08:48:15midkayPaul_The_Nerd, right.
08:48:29sharpeit'd be the same process with making .wps files
08:48:35sharpe*renaming*
08:48:51Paul_The_NerdYeah, a .wps is already a .txt with a different extension.
08:48:54*Paul_The_Nerd shrugs.
08:48:59midkayyou can save a file from notepad as .wps - but how can you rename an _existing_ .zip to .rbz?
08:49:18Paul_The_NerdAh, windows and its extension hiding in that aspect. Gotcha
08:49:24midkayyes, you can disable it..
08:49:32midkaybut i don't think they'll enjoy the questions..
08:49:49Paul_The_NerdWell, I suggested .wpz so that a zip handling plugin later, if one happens, has no conflicts.
08:50:01midkaywhat's the big deal with .zip?
08:50:01sharpewell, with 7zip you can select the file name... if i remember, with winzip... and with winrar...
08:50:04Paul_The_NerdWell, I suggested something similar. .wpz was sharpe's alternative
08:50:28midkaywpz is cool with me. but i don't know how cool it will be with others, i don't think "very"..
08:51:29sharpecompressed error: "What part of *uncompressed* is confusing?"
08:51:31Paul_The_NerdWell, if they prefer .zip I doubt it'll be deal breaker of any sort.
08:51:45sharpeand the extension isn't set in the plugin anyway.
08:51:50midkaysharpe, funny but corny :)
08:52:01midkayPaul_The_Nerd, i'm just wondering why not zip from the start..
08:52:27midkayyou already scan the file for a WPS - what's the difference in erroring out if there isn't one, or viewing the zip like normal if there isn't one?
08:52:33sharpetechnically it is a zip...
08:52:41midkayyes, but i'm talking about extensions.
08:53:06sharpei redid that code into the one loop that looks... professionalisher
08:53:26midkayso.. instead of splashing the error string, browse_zip().
08:53:50sharpeyeah, but you never get to degrade the users if you just show the zip contents.
08:53:53midkaythere's your zip viewer and wps loader in one package with a universal well-known format.
08:54:11midkaysharpe, degrade_users() and then browse_zip() :)
08:55:35sharpei should set the font...
08:56:09midkayi guess no further discussion means you're sticking with "wpz" - again, good luck.
08:56:15sharpe;)
08:57:11sharpeshould i have it automatically clear out previous entries from the temp directory?
08:57:19Paul_The_NerdYeah
08:57:23midkayof course.. :)
08:57:28sharpe'kays.

08:57:52sharpewell, it's the /wpspkg/ directory...

08:57:57Paul_The_NerdHehehe
08:58:50amiconnI accidentally wrote 22 < 5 instead of 22 << 5, and wondered why it didn't work...
08:59:00sharpewhee, time to do the recursive file/directory removal function.
08:59:29*amiconn is making progress towards display flip for greyscale iPods :)
08:59:32sharpemaybe you just wanted to be sure five wasn't greater than 22, so you doubled up.
08:59:49Paul_The_NerdYou gotta watch that 22. It's sneaky.
09:00
09:00:21midkaysharpe, rockbox has a recursive file/dir removal function..
09:00:22*amiconn will soon need a tester with an iPod 4G greyscale
09:00:42sharpeyes, but i have problems with trying to include it in the plugin api
09:00:58midkayjust like you did with wps_data_load.. sigh. :)
09:01:06sharpei don't think so :)
09:01:10amiconnPaul_The_Nerd: The 22 is correct. It's the difference between the maximum number of lines the LCD controller can handle (132) and the number of lines of the mini LCD (110)
09:01:18midkaysharpe, face it - you suck. ;)
09:01:52Paul_The_Nerdamiconn: Ah. So they're 110 by what again?
09:02:01amiconn138x110
09:02:15amiconnThe controller can handle 168x132
09:02:20Paul_The_NerdAh
09:02:33amiconn..and the standard !g..4g have 160x128
09:02:37amiconn(same controller)

10:28:11midkayPaul_The_Nerd, are you familiar with draw modes?
10:28:32Paul_The_Nerdmidkay: Not in the slightest. :) Why?
10:28:42midkayso extremely confusing. :)
10:28:58midkaycan't figure out how to invert things really..
10:29:07midkayCOMPLEMENT is supposed to invert, but it doesn't quite invert..
10:29:14Paul_The_NerdDoesn't quite?
10:29:24midkayit draws, like.. a brownish foreground instead of the set background color, which for me is black.
10:29:41amiconn?
10:29:49Paul_The_NerdOh, because it doesn't swap FG and BG, it uses the complements of their colors, right?
10:29:55midkayamiconn, on color targets..
10:30:05amiconnCOMPLEMENT inverts all pixel values
10:30:28midkayDRMODE_COMPLEMENT .. it basically works, but "foreground" doesn't become "background"..
10:30:32Paul_The_NerdThe selection bar used to look really nice when it did COMPLEMENT (in my opinion)
10:30:32midkayit becomes.. dark brown. :)
10:30:33amiconnIf you draw with COMPLEMENT on the default rockbox-blue background, you'll get brown
10:30:57midkayamiconn, ah - how can i just invert...
10:31:05midkayis there a way?
10:31:08amiconnmidkay: No, as I said, COMPLEMENT doesn't swap foreground & background, it COMPLEMENTS
10:31:21midkayamiconn, i get that - so you can't actually invert?
10:31:24amiconn(one's complement of the pixel values)
10:31:45Mikachu~value ?
10:31:46amiconnDepends on what you're going to do
10:31:47 Join tvelocity [0] (n=tony@84.254.38.34)
10:32:16midkayamiconn, just like invertrect used to work.. bg -> fg; fg -> bg... and do that for a rectangle.
10:32:23amiconnINVERSEVID switches foreground & background
10:32:42midkayDRMODE_SOLID|DRMODE_INVERSEVID?
10:33:00amiconnOn b&w targets you'll get the invertrect behaviour with DRMODE_SOLID|DRMODE_INVERSEVID
10:33:09midkaywhat about color?
10:33:13*tvelocity np Gabriel Le Mar - Ta2ed (Liquid Dubmix)
10:33:20amiconnbah
10:33:34amiconnI mean, On b&w targets you'll get the invertrect behaviour with DRMODE_COMPLEMENT
10:33:47midkayah, right, that makes sense, sure..
10:33:54SugardadPaul_The_Nerd.. i save my bitmap under the rockbox/backdrop eh
10:34:06amiconnThat complements all pixels, which is *visually* equal to switching foreground and background
10:34:11Paul_The_NerdSugardad: If you want it to save, yes.
10:34:15Mikachuyou have to have it there if you want it to be remembered across boots
10:34:44midkayamiconn, right - but it doesn't on color targets iiuc.. so how is switching the fg/bg for a rectangle done?

10:35:58midkaywelcome back
10:36:12amiconnOn colour targets, it's *not possible* to get the same visual behaviour (swapping foreground & background) just with one drawing operation
10:36:38amiconn...because once the pixels are drawn, there is no memory that tells whether the pixel is foreground or background
10:36:48midkayah..
10:36:49amiconnIt just has a colour, which can be complemented
10:37:10midkayi guess i need to set FG as BG and BG as FG, and then complement those?
10:37:15midkayor. wait..
10:37:19midkayno.
10:37:35midkayargh. i'm confused. :)
10:37:47Mikachushould your drawing operation care about what's already drawn?
10:37:57amiconnSo if you want to invert foreground & background, you need to swap the FG and BG values, then redraw all the things you want to invert
10:38:03midkaymine? yes..
10:38:15midkayamiconn, i only want to do the invert to a rectangle..
10:38:51amiconnYou *cannot* just invert a rectangle with arbitrary graphics in it on a colour or greyscale target
10:39:02midkay:(
10:39:16amiconnYou need to switch foreground & background, then redraw anything inside the rectangle
10:39:38Sugardadi cant get my bitmap to be the backdrop of my menus
10:40:00Paul_The_NerdSugardad: It's 160x128 pixels, and 24-bit?

10:41:04 Part XavierGr
10:41:39midkayso.. draw everything, swap FG and BG, then redraw everything that goes into that rectangle and then updaterect it?
10:42:18amiconnThe only cases where COMPLEMENT looks like you want it is when foreground and background colour are the complement of each other
10:42:36amiconn(e.g. black on white)
10:43:24Sugardadgt it
10:43:30amiconnmidkay: Yes, but take care not to draw outside the rectangle. lcd_update_rect() may update a bit more than the exact rectangle you tell it to update
10:43:37Sugardadi had to show all files n then i could go under backdrop
10:43:51midkayhmm.
10:46:19amiconnIn fact it would be possible to write a function that just replaces some colours in a rectangular area. If it would replace fg with bg and bg with fg it would to what you want. But it would be very slow.
10:46:46amiconnReading each pixel, checking it for 2 special values, replace them if found, and write back...
10:47:27midkayamiconn, yeah... unfortunate. thanks for the assistance, though. :)

10:56:33bluebrother^hi tucoz
10:56:43tucozhello
10:56:45midkayyep - i was wondering why you changed the model names to Ipod and Iriver when iPod and iriver are the correct cases.
10:57:18tucozmidkay, that was discussed some time ago and we wanted to use the english language rules for names
10:57:32midkayenglish language rules? ew..
10:57:36tucozhehe
10:58:02midkayabsolutely ugly and quite incorrect, but.. whatever, i guess.. even though pretty much every page on the entire site refers to them as iPod and iriver, if not ipod or iRiver..
10:58:20tucozI know. Thats why we wanted to be consistant
10:58:32bluebrother^maybe we should write a short section in the manual explaining this.
10:58:41bluebrother^like "about this manual" or so.
10:58:50tucozsure, that sounds good
10:59:09midkaytucoz, what? consistent? how is Ipod and Iriver consistent with every other page on the site?
10:59:34Paul_The_Nerdmidkay: It sets a rule to follow in the future.
11:00
11:00:06tucozmidkay, iriver for instance changed their name to make their logo look better. We can not stick to their graphic designers need to make their logo look pretty
11:00:20midkayPaul_The_Nerd, why? apple calls it iPod as does everyone else.. iriver calls it iriver. our entire site calls it iPod and iriver.. why are we changing to something uglier, wrong and inconsistent?
11:00:22tucozwill it be iRiVER next time?
11:00:48midkaytucoz, i don't think they change weekly or anything..
11:00:56tucozwould you call iriver, iRiver, iPod, ipod consistent?
11:00:57Paul_The_Nerdmidkay: Because we're using them as words instead of logos. If it's a proper noun, you capitalize the first letter.
11:01:18midkaywhy is it proper? it's an mp3 player..
11:01:48tucozin the manual, it will be something like. 'don't throw your Ipod against a wall'
11:01:51midkaytucoz, more consistent than adding yet another (case system), yes..
11:02:06Paul_The_NerdBecause Iriver is a corporation, and Apple itself uses Ipod as a proper noun, never referring to it as "The iPod" but simply as "iPod"
11:02:22tucozand rockbox, should it be ROCKbox (as the logo), rockbox or Rockbox?
11:02:38midkayPaul_The_Nerd, they have slipped up in a few places by referring to it as "Your iPod" and stuff like that, but they're just being stupid.. ;)
11:02:49midkaytucoz, whichever you want.. Rockbox seems to be most common.
11:03:14Paul_The_Nerdmidkay: Anyway, it's not my rule. I sat out most of the "How should we capitalize" debate.
11:03:28midkayjust because the logo says ROCKbox doesn't mean everything else does or needs to. our entire site, apple's site, everything, says iPod, not Ipod.
11:04:00tucozmidkay, it's not really that important. If we on a later state find out that iPod is the proper thing to use, then we simply change the platform file
11:04:00Galoistrying to establish Ipod capitalization is more futile than hackers trying to redefine the word hacker
11:04:22midkaytucoz, how would that be found out? just check apple.com..
11:04:23Mikachuyou mean stopping the media from redefining it?
11:04:56tucozmidkay, sure. I just say it's not that big of an issue at this stage. I just changed the naming for all the current targets
11:05:00midkayNow iPod plays video, changing the way you experience your music and more. Again. In lighter, thinner 30GB and 60GB models starting at $299, the new iPod is music to your eyes.
11:05:04midkayfrom apple's site..
11:05:14tucozis it apple, or Apple?
11:05:28Galoisit's not aPple, that's for sure
11:05:30midkayApple.
11:05:32midkayGalois, haha.
11:05:38tucozhehe
11:06:37tucozand should we write iPod(tm) at each occurance of the word in the manual as well?
11:06:53midkaytucoz, why?
11:07:12midkaynot even apple's site does that.
11:08:08tucozI don't want it like that. Just to point out that iPod is a trademark. Anyway, it is a macro that changes the name. If we decide later on that iPod should be used, then fine. It's an easy change
11:08:16Galois[Aa][Pp]ple is going to lose the (tm) status just as surely as Xerox and Kleenex and aspirin
11:08:38midkaytucoz, i understand - i'm just curious why the debate came out that way..
11:08:40tucozthe manual is in draft-mode at the moment
11:08:46Paul_The_NerdMan, I hate how many people say to me "Is that your iPod?" to my iriver.
11:09:00Mikachujust punch them in the face

11:09:23bluebrother^strange.
11:09:28midkaytucoz, i noticed..
11:09:29tucozmidkay, in my case, it's irivers fault. I never knew what the proper thing to write was.
11:09:42midkaytucoz, i thought some debate decided on Iriver, not you..?

11:11:29midkaynow it's iriver, yes.
11:11:56midkayjust after i went through a bunch of wiki pages correcting the case of "iRiver" to "iriver", no less..
11:11:58tucozand by looking at the old logo, it was iRiveR
11:12:30Galoiswell you said above these kinds of changes were really easy to make just by changing a macro, so I don't see why it has to be fixed in stone as Iriver
11:12:53tucozGalois, for now it's Iriver
11:13:02tucozas it is a name
11:13:28tucozand their logo is written iriver

11:22:12bluebrother^latex fails badly :(
11:22:30tucoz:(
11:22:33bluebrother^I managed to modify \warn to be useable inside of tables.
11:22:49bluebrother^in floating text it behaves as a new paragraph.
11:23:06bluebrother^while in item lists and tables it only modifies the text given.
11:23:14tucozOk
11:23:34bluebrother^also it seems to be impossible (as far as the way I tried) to generate side icons from within tables.
11:24:07tucozmaybe we need to change the tabularx .sty file for that
11:24:11bluebrother^I think \warn and \note shouldn't be used inside tables, but who knows ...
11:24:36bluebrother^the problem is that in tables latex isn't in paragraph mode anymore.
11:24:45midkaytucoz, btw, i looked at the manual the other day for the first time.. very cool. i know you do a major amount of work on it, so nice job, don't get me wrong - i just disagree about the case choice. :)

11:30:32midkaywell, you don't want to change the global setting..

11:31:31midkayi disagree with xobox's forcing of backlight on..
11:31:56paulheuso just do backlight_set_timeout (1); to turn on and backlight_set_timeout(global_settings.backlight_timeout); to restore..
11:32:05Mikachuyes

11:58:44amiconnRockbox already suffers from optionitis :/
11:58:49midkayamiconn, instead of having the scrollbar displaying the current "page"'s location based off the number of files, absolute mode would display the cursor's pos out of the entire number of files.
11:58:58midkayoptionitis. haha.
11:59:32midkayipod's default firmware does that ('absolute') as well as many other players i've used, i thought it'd be a nice option..
11:59:33safetydantucoz, it works if you gunzip it first, then un tar it
11:59:34amiconnI don't think this makes sense.

12:04:32midkayhaha. :)
12:05:14amiconnWindows explorer, nautilus, konquerer... all do it like rockbox.
12:05:39midkaywell, yeah, of course explorer/GUI browsers do.. what else would it be based off? the mouse cursor position? :)
12:05:50midkaywith text single-line entries it seems to vary though..
12:05:51amiconnScrollbar know equals visible window in relation to whole list, and no scrollbar at all if list fits in window
12:06:30midkayamiconn, works exactly the same with absolute mode, only it equals selected item in relation to whole list.. not displayed at all if it fits, the same way relative works..
12:07:57*amiconn doesn't see the point
12:08:34midkayi didn't think some would, but i thought some people would be used to it that way and prefer that mode..
12:08:39amiconnIn the current implementation, you already have visual feedback when moving through lists
12:08:49amiconnEither the cursor moves, or the scrollbar

12:09:08Mikachui'm not sure if this is what you're talking about, but if the knob is smaller, you know the list is longer
12:09:15midkayright.. but in the ipod firmware for example, you have the scrollbar and the cursor moving. :)
12:09:21amiconnWith your idea, the scrollbar knob would give the impression that there are way more entries than there actually are
12:09:36Paul_The_Nerdmidkay: I always thought seeing both moving looked kinda funny.
12:10:00midkayamiconn, well, no, it remains 'accurate'.. if you're used to seeing both move, you're used to seeing a smaller knob for fewer files..
12:11:00amiconnYeah, but you can't easily estimate the total number of files from the knob size without actually going through the list
12:11:31amiconnToday, I know that there are approx. twice as many files as I can currently see when the knob fills half of the bar
12:11:58midkaynot when the cursor is at the very top, no.. as soon as you begin to move, the scrollbar starts to scale with the cursor and you get a very good idea of how many pages there are. much better a feeling than the standard bar..
12:12:16tucozbluebrother^, wonder what a suitable symbol would be to use for the fixme macro
12:12:29midkayit's not so much an improvement, amiconn, as just a preference..
12:12:33bluebrother^I used \Lightning for now.
12:12:55amiconnImho it would be an almost useless option, but it bloats the binaries...
12:13:02bluebrother^as I don't want to use too much different packages only for symbols.
12:13:03amiconn...something we don't need
12:13:11Paul_The_NerdI was gonna say, whichever one ends up preferred, only one should be picked instead of an option
12:13:13tucozgood. I actually thought about that as well

12:13:58bluebrother^yes.
12:14:15tucozok
12:14:51amiconnWhat rockbox needs is option & code consolidation, not further bloat
12:15:02tucozhehe, you could also use the \MartinVogel or \Womanface

12:21:51midkayreally? i was thinking it did, but it's been.. well.. years.. :)
12:22:16amiconnBg3r: Depends on the architecture. For most it's unsigned, for some it's signed
12:22:25midkayamiconn, so does their scrollbar show the page like us or the absolute position like i advocate? :)
12:22:39amiconnWhich 'their'?
12:23:04amiconnArchos does absolute position. Iriver pages, and the knob size doesn't seem to relate to anything
12:23:58amiconnIndeed. The iriver knob has a fixed size, and the scrollbar is always visible, even if the list fits the screen

13:04:48linuxstbWhat do people think about making an exception for WMA support and adding it to CVS after the feature freeze (assuming a working patch appears)? I wouldn't have any objections.
13:05:27JdGordonwma would be nice.. to keep the masses happy.. but a rule is a rule..
13:05:38JdGordonadd my text editor before the freeeeze.... :'(
13:05:52JdGordon.. or tell me what needs to be done so ti deos get added..

17:35:46bl1hello everyone
17:35:55 Nick bl1 is now known as raf82 (n=raf82@brn91-1-82-234-3-71.fbx.proxad.net)
17:36:32Slasheriand then you just increase buf_widx and change filepos and start_pos.. but that's not enough
17:36:49Slasheriwhen skipping backwards for example, the buffer position will go very wrong
17:37:06Nico_Pi do change buf_ridx at some places, but it still isn't enough
17:37:25Slasheriyeah, it would be very hard to fix it
17:37:35Slasheriproper way to do it would be to wait for the metadata storage :)
17:37:45Nico_P:p
17:38:01Nico_Pbut how is that going to be easier to do ?
17:38:43Nico_Pbecause you're going to make the codec buffer big enough to store the metadata too ?
17:39:02Slasherinow, there is a separate metadata storage layer in the playback engine
17:39:16Slasherithen you wouldn't need to worry about those buffer indexes at all
17:39:32Slasherijust to tell the engine how much you want to store metadata and what type
17:39:37Slasheri-w
17:40:12Nico_Pyes, but reserving a space in there for album art is a waste of memory for those who don't use it and for tracks without album art
17:40:20Nico_Ptha'ts what i did before
17:40:35Slasherithere is no need to reserve any space
17:40:46Slasheriwe would allocate the space while filling the buffers
17:40:58Slasheriif there is album art, then that is loaded and space allocated
17:41:05Slasheriotherwise, no space are to be wasted

17:43:04realnickHrm, quick C question: How do I get the unsigned integer value of a char? (int) buf[i] gives me a negative value.. I assumed (unsigned int) buf[i] would help me, but it doesn't
17:43:42Nico_Pok, then i think i'll wait... i'll probably go back to a memory wasting solution that works well and add things like scaling
17:43:42Slasheri(unsigned char)buf[i]
17:43:47realnickah
17:43:50realnickthanks
17:43:52SlasheriNico_P: good
17:44:26Nico_Pand then it should be quite easy to move to the new system
17:44:37Slasheriyep
17:44:46Nico_Phave you started looking at it ?
17:44:46*Nico_P is hoping
17:45:10Slasherii have had some ideas.. but i can't make it before the feature freeze..
17:45:21Slasheriso you will have to wait for a month
17:46:04Nico_Pi'm not in a hurry... as long as i have album art showing on my screen i'm pleased :)
17:46:48Slasheri:) then you may consider some quick temporary fixes but you will need to read the sources more carefully to understand what are the problems
17:47:38Nico_Pi think i'll just go back to my old system... i don't care about the 'memory waste' because i actually use the space so it's not a waste
17:47:51Nico_Pit worked fine

17:50:27Slasheriah, interesting. i don't know about that
17:50:35Slasheriprobably you should just use hex codes
17:50:43Slasherithose are pretty easy to convert to binary in mind
17:50:59Slasherias one symbol means 4 bits
17:52:00linuxstbYes, but in this case the binary would be much more readable - I'm using it to define templates for a Sudoku game generator. I'll have to write a script to convert them to hex...
17:53:09 Join davinci [0] (i=alexande@Oe192.o.pppool.de)
17:53:15Slasherihmm, true. or maybe you could make a define.. something like BIN(1,0,0,1,0,1,1)
17:54:13Slasherior even BIN(01001011);
17:55:36davincihello. can somebody please commit this patch: http://www.rockbox.org/tracker/task/4942 and close the task?

19:35:12egotrippen'patch: **** unexpected end of file in patch'
19:35:38linuxstbMaybe it's a DOS/Unix line endings problem. You should make sure all the files have UNIX line endings.
19:36:02egotrippenforward slashes, right?
19:38:13egotrippeni ran dos2unix on it as suggested, but i get the same error

19:40:25linuxstbThat's all you need to do.
19:40:57linuxstbBut maybe your local copies of the files have DOS line endings. Try the command "file file.c" and see what it tells you.

19:46:06egotrippenwhen i try to apply patches i've made
19:46:45Paul_The_NerdHave you opened up the patch in a text editor and looked at it?
19:46:51egotrippenyeah
19:46:58Paul_The_NerdIs it reproducing any whole files?
19:47:23egotrippenwhen i created the patch, it made a text with -(entire file) and +(entire file plus changes)
19:47:33egotrippeni changed it so it only removes and adds the lines i changed
19:47:50linuxstbThat definitely sounds like a line-ending problem.
19:47:54egotrippenas far as i can tell, it looks like patches i've downloaded
19:47:55egotrippenok
19:47:57Paul_The_NerdThat's definitely a line ending problem
19:48:06egotrippenso.... what do i do?
19:48:10Paul_The_NerdThe file that got added completely has DOS line endings in your local copy
19:48:25Paul_The_NerdRun dos2unix on IT (or any files that get reproduced wholly) before cvs diffing

20:07:10egotrippenmine are small enough that there probably won't be a problem
20:07:17egotrippenbut i get the idea, yeah
20:07:22egotrippenthanks for helpin me out
20:07:31paulheuI actually just did my own first patch which adds teh option to keep backlight on when you urn a plugin..
20:07:52egotrippencool
20:08:05paulheuI wondered why no-one came up wit the idea before.. took a little fiddling, but the actual code is simple..
20:08:37egotrippenmine are just little, getting '..' files to display and swapping 'BUTTON_SELECT' for 'BUTTON_REC' in gwps.h
20:09:00egotrippeni have two or three albums that begin with '...' and it freaked me out the first time they didn't display

20:11:43egotrippenyeah, but i'd rather have it on 'supported'
20:11:57egotrippenand at the time i didn't know about 'all files shown,' i think
20:12:22egotrippeni went in to iriver FW to make sure it still existed, and the mp3s played when i added the 'artist' folder
20:12:57egotrippeni figured it out, but i like having those displayed on 'show supported' while still hiding the .rockbox folder
20:15:34egotrippenok, just another check to make sure things are right
20:15:51egotrippenwhen i run update -dP it has an M next to the files i changed
20:16:05egotrippeninstead of CVS update: file
20:17:22egotrippenand this is good, yes?

20:45:18skwadjust a question about doom
20:45:36linuxstbNot sure if I can help, but you can ask...
20:45:39skwadthe wad file should be put in /games/doom/ right ?
20:45:53linuxstbYes.
20:46:09skwadis /games/ dir, at the root or in .rockbox ?
20:46:15linuxstbThe root.
20:46:31Bgerskwad it seems that doom needs prboom.wad ...

20:51:59Bgerskwad this is a feature :D
20:52:01linuxstbBut the game loaded and started?
20:52:14skwadit did computing
20:52:45skwadit writes some stuff on the screen
20:53:19skwadnow it seems to hang at init status bar
20:53:59linuxstbDoom is only known to work on the H300 - but it's built for various other players as well. A developer with an X5 needs to investigate.
20:54:11Mikachui guess no ipod yet either?
20:54:18Mikachunot that i'm dying to play it
20:54:28linuxstbNot unless you've fixed it... :)
20:54:35Mikachuheh, sorry
20:55:08skwadok, I tought it was working cause of this : x5: lets build doom...
20:55:09linuxstbThe code is a nightmare. It just doesn't work....
20:55:34Mikachui think having the cvs log on the front page is only causing you trouble :)
20:55:55skwadwhy this ?
20:56:15linuxstbThat's a perfectly accurate commit message... But maybe it could have had "But it doesn't work." added to it.
20:56:22skwad^^
20:56:30Mikachuyou wouldn't have to be so picky with commits if you didn't
20:56:44Mikachuyou could have a CHANGES file in the cvs instead that you could write the "nice" messages in
20:57:01linuxstbWho would remember to do that with every commit. That's what the cvs logs are for.
20:57:16skwadyep but I don't understand why somebody would build something not working :S
20:57:30linuxstbBecause that's the first step to getting it working.
20:57:43skwadI'm stupid :D
20:57:57linuxstbRemember that Rockbox is still very much "under development".
20:58:13skwadI know I know
20:58:40linuxstbBut I agree the commit message should have mentioned the status of Doom on the X5 as well.

22:42:28paulheuyes
22:42:31Mikachui have a halfassed life plugin going, should i add it to the patch tracker or just keep it to myself until it works better? (the one i urled earlier)

22:43:10linuxstbDoes the patch work after amiconn's lang cleanup?

22:43:41amiconn*all* voice: strings are *untranslated*
22:43:53linuxstbpaulheu: Yes, I just noticed that. Should be fine then.
22:44:26paulheuworks very nicely here.. simple, but something to be a bit proud of.. (ahum..) :)
22:44:28Mikachupaulheu: maybe you should rip out the code from xobox, brickmania, tetrox etc (maybe only those three) too
22:44:51paulheuthose have it hardcoded?
22:44:55Mikachuyeah
22:45:20 Quit muesli- (Read error: 110 (Connection timed out))
22:45:20paulheuHmm ok.. would be a good idea I guess.. my patch makes this a global setting..
22:45:41Mikachuit looks like clock does something with the backlight too
22:45:46amiconnwhat setting?
22:46:02paulheuyeah.. it has the option in it's menu.. can be let go as well.;)
22:46:10linuxstbpaulheu: I've only quickly looked at your patch. I think you need to add the new setting at the end of the settings structure - not in the middle.
22:46:27Mikachulooks like fire, demystify, oscilloscope, plasma, spacerocks, starfield do it too, unless i did something funny to them
22:46:28linuxstbamiconn: It's a an option to turn the backlight to "always on" when in a plugin.
22:46:40paulheuI thought it would be best to keep settings together?
22:46:41linuxstbCurrently some of the plugins do it themselves.
22:47:10amiconnImho that should be an option within the plugin.
22:47:17linuxstbIn _every_ plugin?
22:47:48Mikachuwould be a pain if you're out in the sunshine and want to turn the backlight off to save some battery
22:48:16amiconnWell, there are plugins in which I would prefer the backlight to be always on, others where I don't want that, and again others where it doesn't make sense at all
22:48:19paulheuSo if you add settings you should always stick em at the end?
22:48:39Mikachuamiconn: we could make it 'off', 'on in some', 'on' :)
22:49:05amiconnMikachu: Which "some"?
22:49:11linuxstbpaulheu: Yes, unless you increment the CONFIG_BLOCK_VERSION. There's a comment near the top of settings.c that explains it.
22:49:15Mikachuones that you would look at without interacting
22:49:18Mikachulike plasma, fire, oscilloscope
22:49:19amiconnAgain, for me it doesn't make any sense to have such setting in the core
22:49:51Mikachubut i think i made it so tetrox times the backlight out when paused, but not while playing
22:50:04paulheuah, ok.. I will change that then..
22:50:08Mikachuotoh, plugins can still override it even with the setting
22:50:33 Quit JoeBorn ("Leaving")
22:50:43amiconnMikachu: Yes, but then all plugins *have* to override it if they don't want the global setting
22:50:44sharpei'm almost done with the packaged wps patch... i suppose...
22:51:06Mikachuamiconn: hm, looks like it would require some further thought :)
22:51:13paulheu'Problem' is you either midify each plugin or have a global setting
22:51:14Mikachu22:51 is not the time for it for me
22:51:20paulheuI would opt for the global setting
22:51:52paulheuIt could be inetgrated with the 'access playback' patch?!
22:52:26paulheubut then some plugins define their own keys whcih makes this a mess..
22:52:41linuxstbPersonally, I'm happy with the current timeout system. On the ipod I can just touch the wheel to turn on the backlight, and there is the new "swallow first button" option for other targets.
22:52:53paulheuso in my view it is best to have a global setting, at least that gives you a choice either way
22:52:59amiconnpaulheu: Having a global setting (1) bloats the core code without reason. (2) *still* requires modifying each plugin - but this time even those that don't want the plugin backlight setting as well. (3) May still not be what the user wants
22:53:50linuxstbpaulheu's patch doesn't touch any plugins. The backlight is set in plugin.c before/after the plugin is loaded.
22:53:55paulheuif all plugins follow teh global setting you only have to set the ones you want to keep default..
22:54:48amiconnpaulheu: There is a number of plugins where backlight always on makes no sense. These would have to undo the global setting
22:55:04paulheulinuxstb: so all I have to move is {1, S_O(backlight_timeout_plugin), false, "backlight timeout plugin", off_on },
22:55:13paulheuan that shoud be OK?

23:04:19Zoide7777amiconn: let me see, just a minute
23:04:26amiconnI.e., is the screen displayed as it should? No shifted, mirrored etc graphics?

23:09:12sharpei don't like my ide anymore.
23:10:29amiconnZoide777: Ok, so I'll prepare a custom build for you. It has some more changes in the lcd driver, and a working display flip implementation.

23:14:53realnick2It works nice for the hh1x0 remote - it has the wire in the wrong side imho
23:15:02amiconnE.g. if you put your iPod on the desk and use it with earphone. You'll have a slightly longer range, and no bending of the cable
23:15:12amiconnOr, as you say, belt clip. or....

23:22:57Zoide777enzyme: is it connected to the ac adapter?
23:22:58linuxstbenzyme: That's nothing to do with Rockbox - disk mode is part of the Apple firmware.

23:23:08Zoide777amiconn: ok, what should I do now? booted fine and seems to work
23:23:15enzymeyes it does
23:23:19paulheuactually the upside down option was very nice (and built for) the archos recorder which has both power and line input on the bottomside of the unit. Using this option woud allow te unit to still stand up so you could see the display better
23:23:24paulheuor something like that..
23:23:37sharpeis there any problem with it spinning up/down?
23:23:40amiconnZoide777: No graphcs shifted? Everything fully visible from to to bottom?
23:23:56 Quit miner49er (Remote closed the connection)
23:24:17enzymesharpe - nope
23:24:36amiconnThen go to General settings->Display->LCD setting->Upside down and enable it
23:24:41sharpeis it really a problem then? :)
23:24:50Doomed9upside down mode is cool
23:24:54Zoide777amiconn: everything's fine except for upside down mode
23:25:03amiconnWhat happens?
23:25:03Zoide777amiconn: the display is shifted to the left and wraps into the left side
23:25:04enzymesharpe: yeah but i cant load any songs on it
23:25:20sharpeah...
23:25:30amiconnHmm. Can you tell how much it is shifted?
23:25:32sharpedo you have itunes installed?
23:25:36Zoide777amiconn: and the Play and Menu keys don't get swapped (though scrolling direction is as expected)
23:25:46amiconnBtw, it's not shifted vertically?
23:25:47enzymeno i dont use itunes any more
23:25:53sharpeso it's not?
23:25:56Zoide777amiconn: about 2/3 of a letter width with the default font
23:26:07Zoide777amiconn: horizontally

23:26:28amiconnNo, play and menu don't get switched. I'm not sure whether this would be a good idea, as they are specially marked
23:26:32Nvhi all
23:26:42amiconnZoide777: Hmm, so it's 4 pixels...
23:26:59Zoide777amiconn: more precisely, it's shifted the exact width of the scrollbar in the file manager view, minus the line that makes a the right side of the scrollbar
23:27:12 Quit bluebrother^ (Read error: 110 (Connection timed out))
23:27:13enzymeno it isnt
23:27:25enzymesharpe: no it isnt
23:27:47sharpeokay, well, it either is a problem with your windows, or with the apple firmware on it...
23:27:48Doomed9no reason to update my rockbox yet
23:28:20Zoide777amiconn: well, it's a bit confusing for the clickwheel ipods, since when you hold it upside down then the Play and Menu positions get switched
23:28:32amiconnYes I know
23:28:38Doomed9wow wma codec
23:28:43amiconnThe mini has the same layout, just a bit smaller
23:28:51enzymeok if i have a bad apple fw on it where could i get a new fw for it
23:29:00 Quit paulheu ()
23:30:16Zoide777amiconn: looking closely at the screen, i can make out the pixels, and it does seem like it is shifted by 4 pixels "left" if holding the player upside down
23:30:23sharpewell, i'd image it'd be something with windows... but you could try updating/restoring your ipod with the ipod updater, aptly named, from apple...
23:31:39Zoide777amiconn: isn't it inconsistent, though, that FF and REW do get swapped, while Play and Menu do not?
23:32:00enzymeok
23:32:03 Part enzyme
23:32:09sharpewow, deja vu
23:32:16amiconnWell, FF and REW look like their opposite when flipped. Play and Menu don't
23:32:27sharpeof compiling rockbox in cygwin and irc... that's sad.
23:32:32Zoide777amiconn: that's true
23:32:49amiconnMaybe I should switch them. That's quite simple, if we want it
23:32:54BHSPitLappyyeah
23:33:00amiconnThe lcd controller thing is much more difficult
23:33:04Zoide777amiconn: one thing I would change is the default contrast for grayscale ipod. now it's at 40, which is too high imo (try playing Xobox, for example). maybe 35 would be a better default?
23:33:17amiconnI'll make a new test build (rockbox.ipod only this time)
23:33:22Zoide777k
23:33:37amiconnZoide777: I was thinking about the opposite... 40 is too low for my mini
23:33:43amiconnI have it set to 42
23:33:53Mikachuheh
23:33:58amiconnMaybe the default should be different for mini and 'standard'
23:34:03Zoide777yes
23:34:08BHSPitLappyMAYBE it should be easily adjusted?
23:34:09BHSPitLappy:P
23:34:14sharpemaybe a random number would fair better?
23:34:21Zoide777hehe... well it isn't that hard to adjust
23:34:21amiconnThe larger LCD has a different duty cycle, so it might need a different default contrast
23:34:35Zoide777it's certainly too dark at 40 to play xobox
23:34:41Zoide777(on 4g gray)
23:35:01Zoide777and everything looks too "blue"
23:35:02amiconnYeah, and 40 is so low on mini that it makes light grey appear white
23:35:58BHSPitLappythe thing about button swapping shouldn't apply to the 3G, right
23:35:58Zoide777what ever happened to the piezo experiments? any progress lately?

23:38:18kkurbjunamiconn, do you know anything about changing the compact flash cards in ipod mini's?
23:38:23amiconnZoide777: Hmm, interesting. It means that our LCD controller is not the HD66753. It's just very close. Maybe HD66754 if that exists
23:38:37amiconnkkurbjun: It's a microdrive, not a cf card
23:38:47kkurbjunyes, but it's a cf connection
23:38:51amiconnyes
23:39:04amiconncf type2 (i.e. 5mm thick instead of 3.3mm)
23:39:05kkurbjunI can plug the microdrive into a reader and it will read on my computer
23:39:18amiconnMaybe a cf card will work.
23:39:18Zoide777amiconn: does the controller difference imply other things as well or just the shift?
23:39:35Zoide777amiconn: btw, lcd inverse mode works, and it's very cool
23:40:01kkurbjunwell, sort of, the drive is failing, and I've tried cf cards but I can't seem to get them to be recognised.. I guess you havn't messed around with it at all then..
23:40:12amiconnDepends on whether the original microdrive has a custom firmware with some special bits which are checked by the apple loader
23:40:29amiconnZoide777: thx :)
23:40:44Zoide777amiconn: np..
23:41:20Zoide777amiconn: strange... in the Upside Down selection screen, you can only change the selection by moving left for No, right for Yes, but you can't keep on scrolling in one direction to get both options (like you can with the other rockbox settings)
23:41:24 Quit |Josh| (Connection timed out)
23:41:35kkurbjunthe mini doesn't follow the cf specs exactly which is part of the problem, and I tried correcting that but ti didn't seem to help. I see, well I guess I'll just get rid of this mini then; dont' have a drive to fix it with
23:42:07amiconnZoide777: It's somewhat a hit and miss.... sometimes it works, sometimes not. The setting function is the same as for all other yes/no settings
23:42:19sharpewouldn't it suck if my plugin interfered with doom's compiling...
23:42:33amiconnBtw, thanks for testing that stuff. I'll do some fixup to my modification, then commit that
23:42:58Zoide777no problem, it's quite fun :)
23:43:56kkurbjunsharpe, what patch are you working on?
23:44:44sharpeone for a packaged wps type functionality
23:45:00kkurbjunamiconn, does rockbox's bootloader replace the apple one?
23:45:12kkurbjunin flash that is
23:45:14amiconnNo.
23:45:24amiconnWe don't touch the flash at all on iPod
23:45:27Zoide777is there a way of getting a video capture of the ipod screen on rockbox?
23:45:41amiconnZoide777: Info->Debug->Screendump.
23:45:50Zoide777i put lcd inverse mode, ate some space in xobox, and there's a strange repeating moving square
23:45:51kkurbjunI see, and I'm guessing there is no intention to either?
23:45:51amiconnCalling that once enabled screendump mode
23:45:52Zoide777seems like a bug
23:46:15amiconnThat's a driving quirk of the lcd
23:46:20amiconnNo bug in rockbox
23:46:30amiconnYou wouldn't see it in a screendump
23:47:04amiconnBtw, do you also sometimes get a dark horizontal line on the LCD when booting?
