#rockbox log for 2006-04-03

00:00:11Cassandralinuxstb, I'm saying that there are a lot of dependencies in the code on the default font being 8 pixels high.
00:00:21Genre9mp3XavierGr, how many lines you get with that?

00:00:33linuxstbNo - there are dependencies on the built-in system font being 8 pixels high.
00:00:44CassandraOr rather that sorting them all out is a non-trivial and non-urgent task.
00:00:47linuxstbI'm talking about the font that user can change.

00:02:23CassandraWe seem to have wondered a bit though.
00:02:35Mikachuboth wondered and wandered
00:02:38CassandraI still have to figure out how to sort out the WPSes in CVS.
00:02:55preglowhmm
00:02:59RaeNyeDoes anyone know how to prevent alsa conf.c segfault when running the uisim on linux ?
00:03:08CassandraI propose to make subdirs below /wps
00:03:08preglowwe do want to support more than 16 bits output precision in the future, yes?
00:03:16Cassandrapreglow, yes.
00:03:23preglowthen we need to have a more precise pcmbuf anyway
00:04:16Genre9mp3insted of having different versions of one wps, why not use a single wps file that stores all the code and a folder with all the required bitmaps?
00:04:24CassandraFor text based wpses I propose a "xl" dir ("2l" being wpses that require at least 2 lines, "3l" being at least 3 lines etc.)
00:04:54*amiconn updated the device chart
00:04:57sharpenickelodeon's kid's choice awards is on again.
00:05:10CassandraFor graphical WPSes 'wxhxd(c|m)'
00:05:16Cassandraw = width
00:05:20Cassandrah= height
00:05:23Cassandrad = bit depth
00:05:34Cassandrac= colour, m = monochrome
00:05:53Cassandra(c|m) not necessary for bit depth 1, obviously.
00:06:17CassandraSo a H100 WPS is "160x128x1"
00:06:33*RaeNye wonders whether he is being ignored because of breaking some channel rule
00:06:55CassandraAn ipod Nano WPS is "176x132x16c"
00:07:19Mikachudoesn't the depth imply colorness?
00:07:20midkayCassandra, well, there's no such thing as "16m" is there?
00:07:20midkay:)
00:07:29midkayit must be c if it's 16..
00:07:33sharpeso, essentially... the way images are generally defined, 64x32x24?
00:07:34midkayso you don't really need C or M..
00:07:37Cassandramidkay, true. but there might be 8c and 8m
00:07:48Mikachuyou have 8bit paletted targets?
00:07:50midkayreally?
00:07:52midkayhmm.
00:07:55CassandraNot currently, no.,
00:08:00amiconnWell, in theory there might even be a 3c
00:08:08Mikachubut i guess you have a point there, it could be anything of either
00:08:20Mikachuyou can have a grayscale with 16 million values if you wanted
00:08:20 Quit RaeNye ("CGI:IRC 0.5.7 (2005/06/19)")
00:08:25CassandraMaybe we should assume depth < 8 = mono depth => 8 = colour
00:08:31amiconnCurrently it makes no sense, as we have 1m, 2m or 16c
00:08:55amiconnIf the gmini 2xx series ever gets support, we would also have 4m
00:09:19Cassandraamiconn, I think my last statement is the way to go then.
00:09:35CassandraWe're unlikely to get a 256 greyscale display, aren't we.
00:09:47CassandraOr a 256 colour one, actually.
00:09:57midkayno chance in hell, i think.. :)
00:09:57amiconn..or (yuck!) the grayscale lib gets into the core, it would be 5.04m
00:10:07midkayhahaha
00:10:59CassandraHas anyone ever seen a 256 colour/greyscale display on an MP3 player
00:11:03amiconnReally, you can#T give an exact bit depth for the highest possible number of grayscale with the grayscale lib
00:11:25amiconn5bits would allow 32 shades, but the grayscale lib can do a maximum of 33 shades...
00:11:35midkayCassandra, no, i don't think they exist..
00:11:39Cassandraamiconn, I think we can round under those circumstances.
00:11:40midkay:)
00:11:45 Quit Nico_P (Remote closed the connection)
00:12:13Mikachui don't think there is a bitmap standard for 5 bits
00:12:25amiconnIndeed
00:12:26CassandraOK, in which case lets say "wxhxd" where w = width, h = height, d = depth, d=8 undefined currently.
00:12:44amiconnMikachu: Well, in fact there is, but PC software tends to ignore it
00:12:46sharpewhat about an emulator for the altair 8800? :)
00:12:51Cassandrad< 8 = mono, d > 8 = colour/
00:13:13amiconn.gif files can handle any depth from 1 to 8. PC software usually only offers 1, 4, 8
00:13:59Mikachuah, by bitmap i meant windows bitmaps, which was probably a bit stupid
00:14:10amiconnyou meant BMP
00:14:37amiconn'bitmap' has a more general meaning for me
00:14:43sharpegah, my eye has been twitching all day...
00:14:49Mikachuyeah, i'm just tired :)
00:15:04*linuxstb notices it is now 00.15 CET...
00:15:17linuxstbs/CET/CEST/
00:15:20Mikachusince i have a lecture at 8.15, i'm going to bed now
00:16:19amiconnt0mas! Bagder!!
00:16:36*Bagder checks
00:16:45XavierGrSo we have a feature freeze?
00:17:02 Quit damaki_ (Read error: 110 (Connection timed out))
00:17:18amiconnBuilds hanging with neither t0mas nor Bagder around is annoying...
00:17:25CassandraSo, the dir structute would have /wps/112x64x1/boxes.wps, /wps/112x64x1/boxes/ for graphics /wps/160x128x1/boxes.wps /wps/160x128x1/boxes.rwps and so on and so forth.
00:17:33Bagderindeed
00:17:36Mikachubut Bagder is around
00:17:37Bagderbut it is a strange problem
00:17:42CassandraEach resolution requiring its own independent bitmaps.
00:17:46Bagderits not meant to be like this
00:17:56CassandraIs there a more sensible wiay to do this?
00:18:54CassandraXavierGr, sort of. I really have to try to commit this thing we've been discussing for the last hour, since 3.0 will contain WPSes that shouldn't be there otherwise.
00:19:22*XavierGr dance the "Feature-freeze" Dance!!!! :D
00:19:28XavierGr^dances
00:19:32midkayHEY. i still have 8 hours to bloat rockbox!
00:19:38midkay8h 41m!
00:19:39CassandraOh f***.
00:19:48XavierGrmidkay: Bloater! :P
00:19:50Mikachuyou should make the date secret next time
00:19:56midkayXavierGr, PartyPooper!!
00:19:57midkay:)
00:20:02XavierGrhaha
00:20:05Mikachuor just say 'okay, now it's a feature freeze!!1'
00:20:17Galoisis the battery indicator a feature??
00:20:20CassandraNow I've remembered why I wanted to stop calling rwps rwps.
00:20:35CassandraSo that WPSes and RWPSes wouldn't share a bitmap directory.
00:20:41MikachuGalois: uh, you think it got there by accident?
00:20:54*Cassandra swears. Why does this whole thing have to be so bloody complex.
00:21:17GaloisI mean, it would be nice if the ipod non-5g got a working indicator before the freeze
00:21:19midkayCassandra, what about keep .wps and .rwps, but have .rwps load from a different folder, e.g. filename_r/ ?
00:21:46midkayGalois, i think something as small as a battery indicator could still be added during the freeze..
00:21:50midkayyou could almost call it a bug..
00:21:51midkay:)
00:21:52Cassandramidkay: I suspect /filiename/r/ would be better, since it doesn't restrict the wps namespace.
00:22:04midkayCassandra, aha. that sounds better.
00:22:09midkaybrb..
00:22:10CassandraBut then the wps and rwps loader code has to be different.
00:22:23 Quit midkay ("Leaving")
00:22:47CassandraI wonder i
00:23:21CassandraI wonder if we should just insist that you can't have wps and rwps files with the same name in the same directory.
00:23:46 Quit bluebrother^ ("Leaving")
00:23:58CassandraSo boxes.rwps -> boxes-r.rwps
00:24:48CassandraBut then that makes rwps selection less user friendly.
00:24:56CassandraOuch,.

00:25:41 Quit Lost-ash (Read error: 104 (Connection reset by peer))
00:25:48CassandraThe other alternative is to have the zip builder script parse the wps files and only copy across bitmaps referenced in the (r)wps.
00:26:34linuxstbI've also thought about that solution. I think it could work.
00:27:00Cassandra(Bear in mind that we're still ending up with the same directory structure as before on the target. This is only about how we store the files in CVS.
00:27:36Cassandralinuxstb, OK - we'll go with that, pain in the arse though it is to code.
00:28:16CassandraActually, if we do it that way, we don't need the bitmap dirs to be in the resolution subdirs.
00:29:09linuxstbMaybe we could have a naming convention similar to the bitmaps in Rockbox itself - something like boxes.220x176x16.wps which is then copied to the target as boxes.wps
00:29:11CassandraIn fact, get rid of the damn subdir idea already. Just use a field in WPSLIST to store our "2l" or "160x128x1" designation for each WPS.
00:29:35CassandraThat's kind of what WPSLIST is supposed to be for anyway.
00:30:18Cassandralinuxstb: Sorry - your way is right.
00:30:24linuxstbSo a <wps> entry could have Source: boxes.220x176x16.wps and Name: boxes.wps for example?
00:30:27CassandraI was talking crap there for a moment.
00:31:25CassandraWell ideally it'd have wps: boxes.wps and the script would intelligently work out that it actually needed to copy boxes.220x176x16.wps to that file name.
00:31:49CassandraThen if it couldn't find the source, it'd know that that WPS didn't have support for that resolution.
00:32:49CassandraRight. I *think* I know what I'm doing now.
00:32:56CassandraThis is good.
00:33:54amiconnBagder: You could add a mini (1g or 2g) sim now...
00:34:07Bagderok
00:35:44CassandraHmm. Text wpsen need to have the minimum number of lines in the WPSLIST. Then all WPSes smaller enough to fit on a particular platform can be copied.
00:36:11 Quit JoeBorn ("Leaving")
00:36:43CassandraAnd if they fit on the remote display they get copied twice, once as .wps, once as .rwps.
00:36:51CassandraAnd everything just works.
00:36:54CassandraOh good.
00:36:56amiconnCassandra: How do you decide whether a text wps is small enough?
00:37:07amiconnThe number of displayable lines depends on the font...
00:37:09webguest26ew, yellow
00:37:42Cassandraamiconn: I was going to say assume the default.
00:37:58CassandraBut that makes no sense, because you can go smaller than the default.
00:38:06CassandraHell, always copy text wpses.
00:38:19Cassandra(Except then that doesn't work for player.)
00:38:49 Quit Genre9mp3 ()
00:39:01Cassandra(Also some text WPSes are probably too big for recorder too. F***.)
00:39:04linuxstbA text wps will (I think) need a minimum number of lines - we could compare that with the maximum lines available on the target (i.e. the number of lines with the smallest available font). But maybe that will always be true...
00:39:26CassandraSmallest font is currently 6px high.
00:39:29 Join ScoTTie_ [0] (n=scott@unaffiliated/scottie)
00:39:41Cassandralinuxstb: Yeah, lets do that.
00:39:47CassandraBest we can do, I feel.
00:40:58amiconnlinuxstb: It is possible to fix the mirrored original firmware on greyscale ipod.
00:41:10linuxstbIs it an easy fix?
00:41:11preglowhah
00:41:15BHSPitLappyI thought there was a 5px font
00:41:16preglowthis new crossfeed will be even faster than the old one
00:41:20amiconnUnfortunately there are 2 solutions, one of which is hackish and the other requires quite some work
00:41:36 Nick BoD[] is now known as BoD[Zzzz] (n=BoD@JRAF.org)
00:41:38*Cassandra still wants to make a 5 px high font, just for a laugh.
00:41:51Cassandra(It's so small you can't do non-capitals.)
00:41:58amiconnThe apple firmware uses reverse control of the lcd, i.e. it switches scan direction and writes the GRAM top-down (within a line)
00:42:19preglowwhy?
00:42:36amiconnThe hackish solution would be to keep our lcd driver as-is, and switch scan direction before loading apple fw
00:42:52amiconnThe clean solution would be to use the same method as apple in our lcd driver
00:43:11BHSPitLappyCassandra: look at "Tiny-Prop-5"
00:43:26amiconnIt's straightforward, but involves changing the bit orientation in the blocked pixels
00:43:42preglowany advantages to using apple's way?
00:44:03amiconnIt doesn't really matter, both ways should be equally fast
00:44:40amiconnIt's just that with our way, lsb is left in each 4-pixel block, and msb is right. In the apple way its reversed
00:44:50BHSPitLappyI have 46 Lines of text on my 5G iPod with that font...
00:44:58BHSPitLappyand that's WITH a status bar
00:45:18XavierGrBHSPitLappy: Can you read it though?
00:45:26CassandraBHSPitLappy, oh, that'll save me the effort then.
00:45:30amiconnThat means chaging the whole lcd-2bit-horz.c, the grayscale lcd-ipod.c, and bmp2rb -f 6 output
00:45:40BHSPitLappyXavierGr: it's barely legible
00:45:48BHSPitLappyXavierGr: definitely not for in-car use :)
00:46:22webguest26what's the largest font in rockbox, and how many lines does that give on 5g?
00:46:34webguest26(just curious, not particular important)
00:47:02amiconnThe largest supplied font is 14px
00:47:03BHSPitLappy16pt I think
00:47:13BHSPitLappyI'm using 16
00:47:17amiconn..but rasher.dk has larger ones
00:47:23CassandraFuck!
00:47:25amiconnI'm using 24px on H300 in the car

00:49:28 Quit ScoTTie (Read error: 113 (No route to host))
00:49:55CassandraIn fact, I think I'll do that.
00:49:59preglowCassandra: definitely worth a shot, yes
00:50:03amiconnlinuxstb, preglow: I verified this by making a test bootloader which just switches the lcd data entry direction. All garbled display in our bootloader (of course), but apple fw displayed just fine...
00:50:17BHSPitLappydoes anyone forsee an mp4 player for the 5G in rockbox :P
00:50:22BHSPitLappyforesee*
00:50:25CassandraStill, that's bloody annoying.
00:50:31preglowCassandra: agreed
00:51:00preglowamiconn: well, i don't really think using apple's approach in our driver would be all bad
00:51:09preglowamiconn: if it saves work and has no disadvantages, i think it sounds ok

00:54:39pussfellerheh
00:54:51pussfelleryes i see a bunch for bigger 5g screen
00:54:52Cassandraamiconn, sounds like the simpler solution to me in that once it's working, it should "just work" with no edge cases.
00:54:57BHSPitLappypreglow: he said it's MORE work
00:55:03BHSPitLappythan the hackish way
00:55:08linuxstbamiconn: My instinct is that it makes sense to use Apple's format. But is it worth the effort to switch now?
00:55:24preglowdoesn't sound like too much work?
00:55:42linuxstbamiconn: I think only you can answer the question - as you're doing the work. I don't think anyone would object to either choice.
00:55:48webguest26sounds like it'd avoid some complications in the end
00:56:19linuxstbThe only complication is a need to reprogram the LCD before starting the apple firmware.
00:56:26amiconnWell, apple's way means more work, but less special-casing in the bootloader
00:56:36amiconnIt also means deviating from what ipl does

00:59:24webguest26Ah
00:59:46amiconnlinuxstb: I wonder why ipl didn't use the apple format. It seems that a substantial part of information was gained by reversing the oriinal firmware
00:59:57Bagderlots of yellow
01:00
01:00:20amiconnBagder: Yes, blame Slasheri. Commit - and run....
01:00:32Bagderwe should beat him with a stick!
01:00:35Bagder:-)
01:01:12linuxstbamiconn: I think the IPL people normally start by reversing the bootloader/diagnostics mode part of the firmware - this is much smaller than retailos. Maybe the diagnostics mode uses the LCD differently (different development team?).
01:02:07linuxstbBut yes, it's odd.
01:02:27amiconnBtw, I don't think that our bootloader initialising things disturbs retailos by itself
01:02:59amiconnIt seems to me that retailos doesn't init much by itself, but instead relies on things being initialised by the flash loader
01:02:59BHSPitLappyhey, I was wondering something earlier...
01:03:14BHSPitLappythe rockbox loader is a minimal rockbox, right?
01:03:21amiconnSo, if we change hardware status, that is what disturbs retailos...
01:03:41linuxstbamiconn: Yes - this LCD issue seems to prove that retailos doesn't do much initialising itself.
01:04:11linuxstbBHSPitLappy: It is, yes.
01:05:02BHSPitLappylinuxstb: in that sense, since the bootloader can boot linux or retailos... why couldn't rockbox?
01:05:25BHSPitLappyis it just a matter of "it can, but why?"?

01:11:09amiconnlinuxstb, preglow: I was wrong - on mini there is a disadvantage in using apple's way
01:12:10amiconnWith our current way, flipped lcd mode has a slight disadvantage on mini because of the necessary bitshifting. With apple's way, the bitshifting would be necessary in non-flipped mode...
01:12:20sharpeokay... how about a c64 emulator?

01:18:53CassandraHuh?
01:18:53linuxstbamiconn: Could we load retailos, clear the LCD, reset it, and then start retailos?
01:19:16amiconnIf we keep our format, but switch the lcd before loading retailos, the bootloader display would look garbled. We could clear the screen to avoid that, but then nothing is displayed before retailos takes over

01:20:11JdGordonare the sim and boot builds really needed in the cvs build table??
01:20:13amiconnlinuxstb: Perhaps, but I'm not sure how the bootloader actually starts retailos
01:21:21linuxstbIt simply memmoves it to the start of DRAM and then branches to it. It has already been loaded into RAM by the apple flash bootloader.
01:21:34amiconnIt memmoves something, then returns an entry pint address, but to which caller?
01:21:41amiconnThis return is from main()...
01:21:44CassandraI'm going to sort out wpsbuild.pl tomorrow, I think.
01:21:57linuxstbamiconn: That returns back to crt0.S
01:22:06linuxstbI forget why...
01:22:13CassandraTechnically this is a bug fix, since Rockbox installing incompatible WPSes is a bug.

01:32:32kkurbjunI guess I should be more specific in my descripions : )
01:32:56Kyomikkurbjun: The addon thing works fine :)
01:33:15linuxstbkkurbjun: No, people just need to look at the "where" column as well as "what" :)
01:33:17KyomiAlthough... can someone.. for the love of god.. increase the files in dir buffer to above 400?
01:33:27linuxstbKyomi: You can do it yourself...
01:33:42linuxstb(it's a setting)
01:33:48KyomiI know that
01:33:52XavierGrkkurbjun: yo said that doom has sound, well not in my case. I can't hear anything
01:33:54KyomiBut it doesn't go above 400
01:33:58KyomiIt stops
01:34:00muesliiilinuxstb lol..true ;)
01:34:21KyomiXavierGr: Sound - yes, Music - no
01:34:27kkurbjunXavierGr, What player are you using?

01:35:05XavierGr;atest build
01:35:06kkurbjunKyomi, the limit on addons is a problem with doom not the file limit in rockbox
01:35:22Kyomikkurbjun: I wasn't talking about that limit ^^;
01:35:29KyomiI can deal with that limit with copy and paste
01:35:41linuxstbKyomi: Do you mean you can't change the setting, or that you can still only see 400 files after you change the setting?
01:35:46KyomiI'd just like the "Max Files in Dir Browser" option to go above 400
01:36:07Kyomilinuxstb: I mean you can change that setting.. but it stops at 400 and wont go any higher
01:36:18KyomiI can set the max files in playlist to 20,000 fine though
01:36:21kkurbjunXavierGr, are you talking about the sim?
01:36:28XavierGrno the target
01:36:35XavierGrdo you have sound?
01:36:38KyomiJust the max files in dir browser doesn't go above 400... which it should
01:36:38kkurbjunI don't know, it works fine for me

01:36:55KyomiYes
01:36:58KyomiAlthough
01:37:21KyomiWhenever I open a door or something like that.. it hangs for a sec then picks back up again
01:37:29linuxstbKyomi: It goes up to 10,000 for me... I assume you are using a H300?

02:14:35Paul_The_NerdAs for Linux, define "Out of the Box." Some distros come with Cedega
02:14:48Paul_The_NerdBut that's unimportant, an OSes worth is *hardly* inherent in how well it games

03:51:13linuxstbBut it's probably about 6 months faster.

04:29:12enzymeyou know on the ipods the treble and bass dont work
04:29:36Paul_The_NerdI'd been led to understand that was more a hardware thing than anything
04:29:46enzymeok
04:29:48Paul_The_NerdOh, wait
04:29:49Paul_The_Nerd5G
04:30:09Paul_The_NerdThe 5G has a different codec. There's not a datasheet, so the hardware needs to be figured out somehow
04:30:27jd|unitick tock...
04:30:32jd|unibored as fuck!
04:32:37linuxstbPaul_The_Nerd: There is a datasheet (sort of). It tells us there is no hardware bass/treble control in the codec. But there is a five-band EQ that can probably be used for that purpose.
04:33:31Paul_The_Nerdlinuxstb: Ah. I'd thought it was undocumented (at least, enough for implementation of that?)
04:33:39linuxstbFor the 5g's codec, the WM8983 datasheet seemed to match.
04:33:52Paul_The_NerdAaaah
04:33:58enzymeis there a battery fix for the ipod
04:33:59enzymes
04:34:19Paul_The_NerdWhat kind of battery fix?
04:34:20linuxstbPaul_The_Nerd: No, we have datasheets for all the ipod audio codecs (or very close matches)
04:34:24Paul_The_NerdAh
04:34:37Paul_The_NerdHopefully I remember that once my head's clear. :)
04:35:07KyomiAnyone having a shortened battery life problem?
04:35:08linuxstbThe LCDs are also quite well documented. The problem is the portalplayer chip, and all the hardware integrated in it.
04:35:24KyomiIt may be just the stuff I do with it but I have to charge it like everyday
04:35:24linuxstb... the external chips are easier.
04:35:42KyomiI'm guessing Doom uses alot of battery power?
04:35:47Paul_The_NerdYes
04:35:50Paul_The_NerdDoom uses a lot
04:35:54KyomiMore then videos?
04:35:57KyomiOr about the same?
04:36:08Paul_The_NerdDunno. We don't support video, so it's hard to compare.
04:36:11enzymewhat are some ways to save battery power
04:36:11KyomiOh! I have one other question
04:36:22Paul_The_NerdBut as it is H300 Rockbox uses more power than the iRiver firmware anyway
04:36:30KyomiWhy does the light randomly come on when playing music?
04:36:33enzymebecause im averaging about 9hours on ipod video
04:36:46KyomiI had that happen friday night
04:36:48Paul_The_Nerdenzyme: Make sure your anti-skip buffer is set low, and use the least processor intensive features you can (no peakmeter, simple WPSes without graphics, no equalizer...)
04:36:53enzymeand i got it for xmas
04:37:08KyomiIt'd come on and then go off after the time i set
04:37:15KyomiThen it'd come back on like 15 mins later
04:37:19Paul_The_Nerdenzyme: Rockbox has greatly shorter battery life than retail at the moment. It *is* a work in progres.
04:37:21Paul_The_Nerdprogress
04:37:32enzymeok
04:37:44KyomiSoo... eventually rockbox will use less bat then retai;?
04:37:47Kyomi-; +l
04:37:50Paul_The_NerdHopefully, yes.
04:38:01linuxstbBut it's better value per charge :)
04:38:01Paul_The_NerdI mean, it'll still be dependent upon what you're doing with it.
04:38:03enzymewhere is the anti skip
04:38:17KyomiI'm thinking that Doom probably uses about the same amount of as watching videos?
04:38:31KyomiTechnically.. all Doom is, is an interactive video

04:39:05enzymenope it doesnt work
04:39:20Paul_The_NerdKyomi: Doom also has to read button inputs, and calculate 3D graphics, instead of just decompressing an image and audio and updating the screen. Depending on how their video is handled, and how well doom is optimized, it could potentially go either way.

05:32:27imphasinglinuxstb: (delayed) I don't think there's enough iram to hold a single framebuffer..
05:32:44imphasingI think it's about 154k for a 16bpp 320x240 fb
05:33:28linuxstbYes, that's why I asked...
05:33:34imphasingah
05:33:53imphasingDoes the LCD controller store the data anywhere before it writes it?
05:34:02imphasingOr does it just write your framebuffer as it sees it?
05:34:36nave7693it would be interesting to see rombox eventually grow over 22xKB and can't fit into flash on the archos anymore
05:34:40linuxstbWhat do you mean by "LCD controller" ? Rockbox has an internal framebuffer, and the lcd_update() function transfers that framebuffer to the GRAM inside the lcd controller.
05:34:54imphasingAh, so there's storage inside the controller?
05:35:02linuxstbYes.
05:35:06imphasingAh, handy..

05:35:54linuxstbYes, that should work. Assuming it's a vaguely similar version of Debian.
05:36:07XavierGrit is the same distro debian sarge
05:36:22XavierGrshould I include something to the path then?

05:38:30goffakinda read through the change log.. i left after color was implemented for asteroids
05:38:35linuxstbXavierGr: Yep... :)
05:38:47XavierGrI woke up at 9.00pm and I have college lesson at 10.00 am so.... I couldn't sleep
05:38:51linuxstbI was wondering why another European was still awake...
05:38:58XavierGrhehe
05:47:26goffaon my x5, when i go into the file viewer, and pick a track, it makes a playlist of that dir
05:47:46goffais there a way to have it just play that track, then go to the next song in the playlist?
05:48:07Paul_The_NerdIf you choose to queue just that track
05:48:08goffaor just play that track, then resume where you were in the playlist?
05:48:26Paul_The_NerdIf you click and hold on a track, you get a variety of options. "Queue" is "Insert, then remove after played"
05:48:27goffayeah... but you can't change it to just insert by defalt?
05:48:33goffadefault
05:48:47goffai know how to queue it
05:49:00goffabut i'm thinking about when i'm driving down the highway
05:49:09Paul_The_NerdWell you asked " is there a way to have it just play that track, then go to the next song in the playlist?"
05:49:22goffaah... well i asked that question wrong
05:49:38Paul_The_NerdThere's no one-button queue feature
05:50:10goffai could care less if i used a playlist, but that seems to be the only way i've found to play it :)
05:50:22goffaat least it auto generates
05:50:34Paul_The_NerdRockbox is entirely playlist based
05:50:45Paul_The_NerdSo there's always one in the background
05:50:53goffai guess one button que would probably keep me alive longer :)
05:51:32goffai'll probably get in a wreck trying to play a song by the same artist as the one playing
05:52:04Paul_The_NerdWell, I mean one button queue saves you maybe three or four button presses. If you're already browsing to the music, that's not much
05:52:06goffai guess its not that hard to reload the playlist, its just kind of a pain
05:52:24goffait is if you are driving like i say
05:52:36Paul_The_NerdYeah, but you really shouldn't be browsing *at all* while driving
05:52:43goffayeah.. i know
05:52:54Paul_The_NerdSo arguing that it's "less dangerous" is moot, since you can easily make it not dangerous at all
05:53:13goffaactually no
05:53:21goffayou can hit the button
05:53:24goffaglance down
05:53:30goffaglance at the road
05:53:40goffago down 3 tracks or whatever then instantly queue
05:53:52goffaand save 4 more looks down to the player
05:54:07goffabut more convenient could be better wording if that makes you happy
05:54:27Paul_The_NerdWell that's still not as safe as just watching the road
05:54:38goffai'll give you that
05:54:50Paul_The_NerdAlso, remember, the entire series of button presses for queueing is constant, so you can memorize them and never have to look at the player while doing it
05:54:56goffatechnically you shouldn't change radio stations or tcarks
05:55:01Paul_The_NerdFrom the point that you find the song
05:55:03goffayeah
05:55:12goffabut its still not as convenient
05:55:19goffaso a toggle on/off would be nice
05:55:32Paul_The_NerdToggle on/off of what?
05:55:38goffa1 button queuing
05:55:55goffacould be in the playlist submenu
05:56:25goffaer
05:56:26goffaplayback
05:56:28goffasorry
05:56:45goffai don't know how to program or i'd do it myself and submit it
05:56:56Paul_The_NerdOr it could just stay the way it is, and not increase binary size any further, since it works fine, adds maybe a second of time to how long it takes to queue a song, y'know? I mean, I'm not sure the cost/benefit ratio is in favor of yet another option that exists only to trim 2 or 3 button presses
05:57:19goffayeah.. we wouldn't want to make things more convenient
05:57:36goffaor useable/custamizeable
05:57:42Paul_The_NerdCustomization comes at a cost
05:57:53goffai'm aware, but that's what makes rockbox great
05:57:53Paul_The_NerdThere are very strong arguments for not increasing the size of the binary
05:58:05Paul_The_NerdSuch as "It will make it stop working on some players"
05:58:06goffayeah... but 1 option wouldn't be much
05:58:19Paul_The_NerdYeah, but what makes your 1 option more important than someone else's?
05:58:28goffait doesn't
05:58:29Paul_The_NerdOr a new feature rather than a convenience?
05:58:31goffathats why its a toggle
05:58:41Paul_The_NerdPutting in the toggle costs binary size too
05:58:55Paul_The_NerdEvery line of code to implement makes the file bigger
05:59:11goffabut shutting someone down and calling their idea stupid isn't very productive either
05:59:16Paul_The_NerdWhen the feature is already there, and those lines could be used for something new, rather than just helping someone save 3 button presses
05:59:24Paul_The_NerdI didn't call your idea stupid
05:59:35goffawell you seem pretty anti my idea
05:59:37Paul_The_NerdI explained why it's unlikely to be something that will be in CVS some day
05:59:51Paul_The_NerdI am anti your idea. I don't think it's stupid. I think that it's not worth the cost
06:00

06:11:45Paul_The_NerdOh, I'm almost positive it won't work out of the box
06:12:02goffayou mean patched?
06:12:05Paul_The_NerdYeah
06:12:12Paul_The_NerdThe patch itself is over a year old
06:12:47DrumRBoy320Paul_The_Nerd, i want to use it with my h300
06:12:53Paul_The_NerdBut if you politely posted in the forums asking if anyone's interested in the ability for one-button queuing, and then point a link to that saying that it's outdated, but might be a good place to start if any C programmers would be willing to help out, it's possible you'll get some help
06:13:03DrumRBoy320but... will that make it usable by my h300?
06:13:11Paul_The_NerdDrumRBoy320: Well, windows doesn't like formatting about 32gigs with Fat32, so get Swissknife or some other partitioning utility
06:13:39DrumRBoy320ive been using the HP format utility, but i have swill knife, ill try that
06:14:08Paul_The_Nerdgoffa: I'd recommend general discussion, since this is a feature that could interest people on all targets.
06:14:14goffaand btw.. i'm not trying to be rude... but there are features i want...
06:14:15goffaok
06:14:50Paul_The_Nerdgoffa: There's nothing at all wrong with wanting features. There's just a lot of reasons why features that are "convenience" but a relatively minor convenience, probably won't show up in CVS
06:14:54Paul_The_NerdNote the "probably"
06:15:07goffaand trust me.. that's not minor
06:15:12Paul_The_NerdIt's not minor to you
06:15:37goffaevery time i have to go through that clunky menu it grates at me
06:15:40Galoisthe patch seems to imply that party mode implements one-button queuing
06:15:45Paul_The_NerdThere were people a lot more upset than you about the volume change to dB, and they didn't put in an option to show it as either dB or % because of feature bloat.
06:15:49Galoisand isn't party mode already part of rockbox?
06:15:54goffaGalois:
06:15:57goffai'll try that
06:16:18Paul_The_NerdGalois: I know that with party mode you can't accidentally stop playback. I don't know if it queues, inserts, or what.

07:33:01amiconnThat doesn't look like it makes any sense....
07:33:09B4gderMikachu: yeah, well that was over a year ago :-)
07:33:09Bg3ryep
07:33:13midkayif TREE_MENU_PRE is defined, it's used. if it's not, TREE_MENU is.
07:33:22MikachuB4gder: oops missed the year :) i'm so used to it being 2005
07:33:29B4gderhaha
07:33:34midkayif TREE_MENU_PRE is defined, that means TREE_MENU is on a BUTTON_REL event.. afaics.
07:33:38amiconnYes, but TREE_MENU is *always* defineas
07:33:41amiconn*defined
07:33:54Mikachubut it looks at _PRE in the #ifdef
07:34:05midkayyes, but TREE_MENU_PRE isn't. we only need it when it is defined, because that means it's the version of TREE_MENU sans a BUTTON_REPEAT event.
07:34:12Mikachuwhere is that by the way?
07:34:18midkaytree.h
07:34:19amiconn...and is the _PRE is also defined, both should be checked as a sequence (with lastbutton)
07:34:57midkayamiconn, but TREE_MENU *is* TREE_MENU_PRE. _PRE just doesn't have the release event. and we don't want a release event. that causes the menu to pop up as soon as it's exited.
07:35:16amiconnNo, it's not
07:35:17Mikachuthere is a bug like that in a place on ipods at least

07:35:43Bg3rXavierGr ?:)
07:35:47amiconnThe _PRE is there when we have two actions on the same button, depending on short/long press
07:35:49Mikachuwps -> playlist -> view current playlist -> press menu
07:35:55XavierGrGuess how I spent my night.
07:36:08midkayamiconn, i meant "release" instead of "repeat". e.g. recorder, BUTTON_MENU = BUTTON_F1. but iPod - BUTTON_MENU = (BUTTON_MENU|BUTTON_REL) and _PRE exists in this case as just BUTTON_MENU.
07:36:09JdGordonBagder: $50 to add a patch! http://forums.rockbox.org/index.php?topic=3298.0 seen it?
07:36:11amiconnIf you just trigger on the _PRE instead of the correct action, the other action becomes unreachable
07:36:12Bg3rprobably not sleeping :D
07:36:32midkayamiconn, in playlist_viewer, we *don't want* BUTTON_MENU if _PRE exists.
07:36:40XavierGrtrying to set up samba between vmware and windows
07:36:51midkayor else it has a release event attached = bad.
07:37:59Bg3rso, is there already a feature freeze ? :)
07:38:08midkaywhy do we need to trigger on TREE_MENU when we're triggering on _PRE? same thing.
07:38:09Mikachuamiconn: is this related to the location i wrote?
07:38:34XavierGrI already have danced the feature-freeze dance Bger
07:38:44Bg3rhaha
07:39:54Paul_The_NerdBang the feature freeze hammer, change the topic, post on the front page, and be done with it!
07:40:10amiconnmidkay: As I already said, the other action associated to the same button as longpress (with BUTTON_REPEAT) becomes unreachable if you just use the _PRE instead of the proper #define
07:40:32CassandraI guess the question is, can anyone think of a good reason not to feature freeze now. If not, we should tell the world Rockbox is in lockdown.
07:40:38Bg3rbtw, are the builds stoned again ?
07:40:45B4gder*freeze*
07:41:00Mikachubut i was so happy that the snow was melting
07:41:01amiconnIf there is a _PRE, you should still trigger on the event itself, and *additionally* check the _PRE against lastbutton.
07:41:06B4gderBg3r: well, they were at least
07:41:38B4gderand when I killed the job it doesn't rebuild the table

07:42:20Slasherimorning
07:42:22midkayamiconn, what in playlist viewer is accessible with TREE_MENU "longpress"?
07:42:34Mikachuamiconn: i think in this case, there is no other event that collides
07:42:35midkay_nothing_, as far as i ever heard or figured out.
07:42:46***Alert Mode OFF
07:42:49midkaythis is only a playlist_viewer small bugfix.
07:42:51Mikachuand now that i think, i changed TREE_MENU to TREE_MENU_PRE in my tree and it fixed the bug
07:42:51amiconnApart from that, I don't see how triggering on the release instead of the press makes it not working??
07:43:14midkayamiconn, when you tap TREE_MENU to exit the menu, the release triggers it to be called up again.
07:43:21midkayso it's effectively unexitable, except with the l
07:43:23midkayLEFT button.
07:43:37Mikachui never figured out the left button would work :)
07:43:45Mikachumidkay: did you close my bug too?
07:44:01midkayi always use it to navigate menus, but it's nice to have it fully working anyways. Mikachu, oh, that was yours? :) yes, that prompted me to fix it.
07:44:17amiconnmidkay: Then the place which is calling it is doing something wrong
07:44:20midkayi noticed it a few times in the past few weeks, but never got around to fixing it until i came across your report and already had everything ready to fix it..
07:44:27amiconn...like not checking the associated _PRE
07:44:32midkayamiconn, what? it simply uses the standard menu system..
07:45:08midkayamiconn, have a look if you like. this works fine and simplest.. you might be able to do it a more complex way involving checking the PRE and whatever, and you apparently desire that, so.. go ahead..
07:46:04Mikachui think the bindings for ipods in that area of the menu system should be redesigned later anyway
07:46:09Mikachuright now it's 100% confusing
07:46:22Mikachuin every second menu, MENU goes to the menu, and in the others it exits back to the wps
07:46:31midkayi don't really get all the _PRE stuff.. but this works fine anyways, and it's to-the-point..
07:46:52midkayMikachu, what? menu goes up a level, or if at the first level, back to the browser or WPS..
07:47:04midkayat least last i used it..
07:47:10amiconnI don't desire the complex way. I just think the button binding macros should be used in the way they were intended.
07:47:19Mikachui mean in the context menu and playlist menu reached from context menu in wps
07:47:26midkayamiconn, i have no idea how they were intended..
07:47:34midkayor why they were done that way if they work in a simpler way..
07:47:40Mikachuand in some menus, the only way to leave is by pressing LEFT, i would expect menu to exit them too
07:47:48Mikachunot open the main menu from the context menu..
07:48:05amiconnThere's already quite a number of them, and 'bending' them makes porting to new platforms harder, makes the UI less consistent, etc
07:49:05midkayMikachu, @ main menu from context.. agreed.
07:49:24midkayamiconn, i didn't realize there were rules or that this didn't follow them, sorry.
07:49:25amiconnmidkay: Btw, leaving the playlist viewer with TREE_MENU doesn't make sense from an UI consistency point of view
07:49:41midkayamiconn, hm? this is talking about the playlist viewer menu..
07:49:45Mikachuthe issue is the mini settings menu you reach from within the playlist viewer
07:49:51amiconnIf there's a menu associated to the playlist viewer, TREE_MENU should call that. If not, it shouldn't do anything
07:49:59midkayamiconn, it does call that. that's all.
07:50:10amiconnExiting a tree view is done with TREE_EXIT
07:50:29Mikachubut this is a menu in a tree view
07:50:39midkayamiconn, i'm not sure why you're telling me this. we're talking about a menu.
07:50:47midkaymenu brings up the menu; menu or tree_exit exits the menu.
07:50:51amiconnMikachu: Nope. The playlist viewer *is* a tree view
07:50:53midkaymenu has nothing to do with exiting the playlist viewer.
07:51:54amiconnBut Mikachu pointed out why the playlist viewer was unexitable. Calling the menu from a tree doesn't check the _PRE
07:51:55Bg3rlol "Vogg Orbis"
07:52:16Mikachuit's not easy with these fantasy names
07:52:19amiconn...so leaving the context menu with Menu calls the main menu, which shouldn't happen
07:52:53Mikachui don't think that was quite it actually, but i have to go to school now

08:01:49CassandraJdGordon, if it's stable and works cross platform, I don't see a reason not to.

08:02:36Bg3rCassandra that's my idea ...

08:05:38Paul_The_NerdJdGordon: Why not test it on the sims?
08:05:48JdGordoncoz im busy :p
08:05:53CassandraJdGordon, I'll settle for "it works in the simulator for Archos and H100".
08:06:09amiconn...but while looking into it I found a bug in tree.c...
08:06:46CassandraThen I'd have to say I'd prefer if it waited till post 3.0, since no-one else really has the time to test it either.
08:07:26CtcpIgnored 1 channel CTCP requests in 0 seconds at the last flood
08:07:26*JdGordon fixing up the patch now.. real work can wait :p
08:08:24*Cassandra proposes to announce feature freeze in a couple of hours, if no-one has any objections.
08:09:39Topic"count-down to feature freeze" by B4gder (n=daniel@rockbox/developer/bagder)
08:09:45amiconnB4gder: Do you have an idea why the builds freeze that often?
08:10:00YouCeyEhow can i create dynamic playlist?
08:10:06B4gdernot really, sometimes a build just hangs
08:10:09amiconnAlso, why is the number of build boxes varying so much?
08:10:18B4gderbecause they _do_ vary
08:10:24B4gderthey're not up all the time
08:10:32Paul_The_NerdYouCeyE: Define how you mean "dynamic"?
08:10:37B4gderLinus' and Björn's are not around 24h
08:10:45YouCeyEPaul_The_Nerd, i mean on the go playlists
08:11:29Paul_The_NerdYouCeyE: Once you've inserted the songs you want, you can save your playlist. There's an option under the Playlists section of the main menu
08:11:37B4gderamiconn: I want the build system to better monitor the single builds and to kill "hanging" ones
08:12:43amiconnB4gder: I would like to understand what "225 Server rbclient@amiconn.dyndns.org finished, but 1 builds left. Sleep and recheck." means in the log
08:13:24B4gderamiconn: it means that server looped over all jobs it can do, and thus considers itself done. But there is 1 build still not done and thus it waits and goes over the list again.
08:13:34YouCeyEthanks Paul_The_Nerd
08:13:43B4gderbecause when a build fails, it puts the job back in the list and one of the other servers can get the job and perform it instead
08:13:50YouCeyEPaul_The_Nerd, how do i insert the songs?
08:14:02amiconnB4gder: Hmm, but why is that number higher further down in the list (reported by another server)?
08:14:06YouCeyEtoo many options, too less buttons
08:14:06B4gder(and in this context I mean a build fail == a server error)
08:14:07Paul_The_NerdYouCeyE: It's in the context menu, when you long-click on songs or folders
08:14:21amiconnDo the build servers disagree about the number of outstaning builds?
08:14:25Paul_The_NerdYouCeyE: Have you seen the manual? It contains a lot of common and useful information.
08:14:27B4gderamiconn: because the number can raise again if builds fail
08:14:48YouCeyEPaul_The_Nerd, i think its time i shld check the manual :)
08:14:56CassandraHmmm. I really ought to look at finalising the list of plugins for 3.0 (as in what we're going to remove). We've already decided to dump snake in favour of snake2, I believe. What else?
08:14:57B4gderthey shouldn't disagree on that amount
08:15:00YouCeyEthanks anyway.. for all ur help..
08:15:22amiconnB4gder: Then the builds seem to fails really often??
08:15:38B4gderamiconn: thet do?
08:15:40B4gderthey
08:16:02amiconnLooking at the last masterlog, the number goes 5...1, then 2..1, then 8..1, then 7..1 etc
08:16:13B4gderyes, but check the time
08:16:33amiconnAh, now *that*s confusing....
08:16:37B4gderindeed
08:16:41Bg3rJdGordon did you fix it ?
08:16:47JdGordon.. fixing...
08:16:49amiconnI expected the whole log to be in chronological order...
08:16:59B4gderits more a limitation in how the logging is done by multi-thread perl
08:17:04B4gderthreaded
08:17:23B4gderits not that we want it done like this!
08:17:57amiconnIf the log timestamps were fixed-width (or with some number-sorting) the masterlog could be sorted at the end
08:18:07B4gderah, good idea
08:18:27B4gderI'll look into that
08:18:48 Join DaveP [0] (n=chatzill@c-68-49-69-25.hsd1.md.comcast.net)
08:19:20CassandraHmm. Why do we have Calendar and RockCalendar. Is that a mistake on the wiki?
08:19:26 Quit DaveP (Client Quit)
08:19:39B4gderI believe they are two different ones
08:19:51B4gder...which we don't like
08:19:57CassandraWe should pick one.
08:20:17CassandraAnyone used them?
08:20:41B4gderPaprica is author of one of them
08:20:44Paul_The_NerdIsn't RockCalender the "New and shiny that will hopefully replace Calender" or is it the other way around?
08:21:00YouCeyEPaul_The_Nerd, i am using iriver h120.. the manual seems to cover archos models
08:21:05amiconnRockCalendar is not yet committed, as it has quirks
08:21:11YouCeyEwhat is right click in iriver?
08:21:25B4gderYouCeyE: there's a manual for h120 as well
08:21:37CassandraRockCalendar looks kind of cool. Does it work?
08:21:39YouCeyEB4gder, ic..
08:21:40B4gderhttp://www.rockbox.org/manual.shtml
08:21:57CassandraIf so, I propose dropping support for Calendar.
08:22:07JdGordonBg3r: im all set, cept i need key configs for targets... each needs a select, cancel/quit and menu button... i only have full defines for ipod and iriver..
08:22:33Bg3rJdGordon as i have only h300, i'm not the one to answer you
08:22:39Paul_The_NerdYouCeyE: If you follow the link B4gder posted, there's manuals for each target.
08:22:41amiconnB4gder: Sorting the masterlog makes it look like it makes way more sense. But now there is another interesting point:
08:22:45JdGordonk
08:22:52YouCeyEthanks ..
08:22:57CassandraAlso is Databox/Search tagcache compatible?
08:23:00YouCeyEi am checking the faq first..
08:23:02amiconnThe last actual log entry was 251 Server rbclient@www.haxx.se done (left=0).
08:23:08Bg3rCassandra no, it isn't
08:23:20amiconn...but the 'all done' happens *much* later: 382 all done.
08:23:22CassandraOK, they don't make the cut for 3.0 then.
08:23:40Bg3rwhat about removing the battery_test ?
08:23:41amiconnWhat happens in these 131 seconds?
08:24:04B4gderamiconn: the really interesting tim is the "buildtime" line as that's where it rebuilds the cvs table
08:24:05Bg3rsnake2 needs resize/colorisation ...
08:24:07B4gdertime
08:24:42B4gderand that 'buildtime' is the time it adds to the moving average displayed on the cvs page
08:24:55CassandraBg3r, oh dear.
08:25:01 Join cismo_ [0] (i=cismo@adsl-85-217-33-85.kotinet.com)
08:25:02CassandraWell it can't be worse than snake.
08:25:17amiconnB4gder: Yeah, but what happens in the next 131 seconds?
08:25:21Bg3rCassandra i suppose u're right
08:25:32CassandraI propose dropping mosaic, on the grounds it's a bit pants and we have better graphics demos.
08:26:23amiconnAlso, the build system seems to sometimes not catch a commit happening during a build cycle, or catch it with some delay. I experienced that yesterday.
08:26:23SlasheriB4gder: btw, does the feature freeze mean that tagcache may still get some small feature enhancements during that period which would make it more stable and usable?
08:26:48amiconnSlasheri: Yeah, chunked browsing....
08:26:51B4gderamiconn: that's by design
08:26:56CassandraSlasheri, it you can justify it as a bugfix, you can commit it.
08:26:58Slasheriamiconn: hehe, yes
08:27:09B4gderamiconn: the next 131 seconds is just other ordinary house keeping
08:27:12CassandraSo no additional functionality, but you can fix missing stuff, since that's a bug.
08:27:16B4gderrebuild tables and doing the source package
08:27:16SlasheriCassandra: yep, most of them
08:28:07B4gderthe detect-cvs-changes thing _always_ sleeps 60 after a build round
08:28:12B4gder60 seconds
08:28:23B4gderso it never detects any changes until 60 seconds after a complete build
08:28:38*amiconn wonders whether adding that virtual directory idea instead of having a separate tagdb browser mode also counts as a new feature
08:28:49CassandraI think I'd like to drop one of VU meter and osciloscope.
08:29:12Cassandraamiconn - if you do it, just make sure I'm looking the other way at the time. ;)
08:29:21amiconnB4gder: The observed delay was much longer than 60 seconds when it hit me
08:29:43amiconn(that was saturday, not yesterday)
08:29:51amiconnThink it was 5 minutes or so
08:30:00Paul_The_Nerdamiconn: Virtual directory idea?
08:30:19Paul_The_Nerdamiconn: Is that "A folder in your root, that is in essence the Tagdb?"
08:30:21midkayCassandra, @ vu/oscilloscope - what?
08:30:26B4gderamiconn: well, it is of course those 131 seconds (or so) and then the additional 60 seconds
08:30:27amiconnPaul_The_Nerd: yes
08:30:40CassandraI propose dropping one of osciloscope and VU meter. I appreciate they're not the same, but they're both "proof of concept" rather than useful app.
08:30:48JdGordoncan any1 help with key configs?
08:30:54CassandraAnd proof of essentially the same concept.
08:30:55midkayproof of concept in what way? they're both fully-featured plugins..
08:31:05Paul_The_Nerdamiconn: My vote is for in TagDB you have the bottom line be "File Browser" so that you can access the files from TagDB, but if you prefer just the file browser don't even really see evidence of it.
08:31:07midkaywhich do the same basic thing, in a very different way.
08:31:14amiconnI agree with midkay
08:31:21CassandraOK.
08:31:29amiconnvu_meter needs fixing for the higher display resolutions though
08:31:31midkayno reason to get rid of them, binary size is unaffected, they're just addons..
08:31:39amiconna *lot* of plugins still do, btw
08:31:54midkayamiconn, i'd enjoy adapting VU meter for larger displays.
08:32:01midkayi have a few changes/updates i want to do to it as well..
08:32:07Cassandramidkay, every plugin we remove is less code to test and support.
08:32:30CassandraThis doesn't mean that we should be seeking to remove plugins that add useful functionality though.
08:32:30midkayCassandra, test? nobody has to test anything.. i dunno about support. they both work fine.. what's the support problem?
08:32:40amiconnPaul_The_Nerd: The virtual directory would only be there if the db is present.
08:32:49midkaywell, games aren't "useful".. let's get rid of them all! ;)
08:33:00Cassandramidkay, they do have to be tested, if only to ensure they run correctly on all targets.
08:33:14midkayum, "check" for 5G..
08:33:25midkayi'm sure we'll get bug reports for ones that don't work on certain targets.
08:33:37Paul_The_Nerdamiconn: Fair enough. Only reason I suggested it, is that it seems more intuitive to me the way I suggested. Since I don't really use TagCache, I don't really have a lot of feeling invested in it either way. :)
08:33:38CassandraWell, supported targets. And they have to be fixed if they don't.
08:33:44CassandraThat's the support work.
08:34:14midkayeverybody fixes everything.. amiconn basically rewrote oscilloscope, for example, and i know he must have tested it on an iriver..
08:34:28midkayi'm sure he could handle any potential bugs if nobody else.
08:34:58midkaythat's like saying we should disable tagcache because it's not entirely working yet... yes, bugs happen, but you get nowhere if you don't try..
08:34:59Cassandramidkay, I gave up suggesting we remove one of them about a page ago.
08:35:09Paul_The_NerdHehehe
08:35:09midkayCassandra, now you're suggesting removing others, or what?
08:35:12CassandraI'm just explaining why less plugins is good.
08:35:14amiconnmidkay: Oscilloscope is tested on all my targets (that it runs on, i.e. except player)
08:35:32midkayamiconn, which is.. recorder, ondio.. H100?.. mini, if that's going yet?
08:35:34 Quit DJ_Dooms_Day (Connection timed out)
08:35:56amiconnmidkay: recorder v1, Ondio SP, Ondio FM, H140, H340, mini
08:35:59midkayCassandra, removing ones that aren't really working i don't object to.. but anything that's there and expected to be working should stay, IMO.
08:36:10midkayamiconn, oh, didn't know you had an H300. cool. :)
08:36:27*amiconn now has 7 rockboxes, all different
08:36:43midkayi still only have two..
08:36:45Cassandramidkay, currently snake, one of Bounce or Logo, Mosaique,
08:37:11midkaybounce is a bit weirded out on my 5G. mosaique works fine and it should.. logo also does, and it also should.
08:37:24midkaysnake works too, and it should. :) just maybe could use a bit of sizing for larger LCDs..
08:37:36 Join jbauman [0] (i=Johnq@JBAUMAN.RES.cmu.edu)
08:37:46CassandraAnd Search and Databox to be missed from 3.0 but return in 3.1
08:38:02midkayi'm fine with that, since i never use them..
08:38:07Cassandramidkay, snake is redundant. Snake2 does everything snake does and more.
08:38:23 Join tvelocity [0] (n=tony@84.254.38.34)
08:39:41CassandraI'm proposing removing mosaique and demystify on the grounds that Rockbox graphics capability has moved on. Fire, Mandelbrot, Cube etc are all better demos.
08:40:12Slasherii think the bugs caused some crashes with tagcache loaded in ram, should have been fixed now
08:40:13amiconnbounce (on targets with rtc) has a fixed sine table that needs to be changed into using a sine function for variable resolution
08:40:15midkayCassandra, @ snake/snake2, that's cool. there's a snake2 patch on the tracker which is very good, scales it to all LCD sizes..
08:40:19Slasherithere was a division by zero case
08:40:30midkayamiconn, i can also handle that, since i use a circle generator in the clock.. simple
08:40:34Slasheriand buffer overflow in the mp3 metadata parser
08:40:38Cassandramidkay - excellent. That should be commited for 3.0.
08:40:58midkayCassandra, and in full color, yes, it's quite nice. :)
08:41:08CassandraDoes anyone feel strongly about keeping bounce?
08:41:09amiconnCassandra: 'search' has nothing to do with the db. It was disabled by Slasheri by mistake. I reenabled it
08:41:22amiconn'search' just searches m3u playlists
08:41:39Cassandraamiconn, oh, in that case I take it back for search.
08:41:53midkayCassandra, me, in a way.. i just don't see why you'd want to remove it. i'll scale it for all LCD sizes and it should be pretty cool..
08:41:54amiconnCassandra: You mean 'searchengine' and databox
08:42:14Cassandraamiconn, yes, thank you.
08:43:00midkayCassandra, my POV is that "if it's working fine it should stay", in general..
08:43:08Cassandramidkay - OK. Bounce stays for now then.
08:43:09amiconnCassandra: I don't see why we should remove any of the plugins from the package except the ones which are targeted at developers only

08:43:30amiconn(which is already done - helloworld and grayscale)
08:43:30midkayi'll probably do a lot of scaling for different targets now that the feature freeze is in effect and there's nothing much else to do except bugfixes..
08:43:52 Join einhirn [0] (i=Miranda@bsod.rz.tu-clausthal.de)
08:44:00Cassandraamiconn, it's a quality thing, I feel. Now we have more plugins I think we can afford to be pickier about what we ship with Rockbox.
08:44:25midkayCassandra, and "demystify" - i can't recall if that's scaled for all targets, but i'd like to add color support to it and another mode in which there could be multiple trails bouncing around. maybe then it'd be a bit easier to want to keep.
08:44:27amiconnBounce should just use a quick fixed-point sine like a number of other plugins do.
08:44:53amiconnmidkay: demystify properly scales. Only colours/ grayshades are missing
08:45:05midkaythat's another thing i'd like to do then..
08:45:15CassandraI don't feel particularly strongly about removing the graphics demos. If people want them, lets keep them.
08:45:37midkaythey're fun to have, i think.. even if just for a few seconds of entertainment before you never touch them again.. ;)
08:46:00amiconnSome of the demanding gfx demos need to be revised because they sometimes don't yield enough, so playback is disturbed
08:46:10amiconn(e.g. fire)
08:46:34CassandraIn that case, I think we're just losing snake (permenantly), databox and searchengine.
08:46:42JdGordonok, done. all fixed
08:46:49JdGordoncept it needs some key defines

08:49:17midkayCassandra, i'd agree with that.. rename snake2 to just "snake" also..
08:49:18Bg3rJdGordon any progress ?
08:49:24midkayJdGordon, um.. you have 11 minutes on my end.

08:49:34Cassandramidkay, yep.
08:49:43JdGordonserious???
08:49:46midkaybut i'd love to see it in. once in a while i really need to edit something and i have to boot to ipodlinux to do it.. ugh. :)
08:49:52Bg3rCassandra and battery_test ?
08:49:56amiconnThe freeze should already be in effect, if we're strict
08:50:10midkayamiconn, well, i think a few hours of slack should be tolerable :)
08:50:23CassandraBg3r, good point. Battery_benchmark is better, isn't it?
08:50:28amiconnIt said 0:00 CET (which even gave us 1 hour more as was probably intended)
08:50:45midkayamiconn, ah. :)

08:51:13JdGordonhttp://www.rockbox.org/tracker/task/4864#comment7107 even
08:51:20*Cassandra nods. I think the editor is useful, so I'm for an exception being made, but only if it's demonstrably 99% working on all platforms (player excepted).
08:51:50JdGordonit works on all targets that the list works on.. except it needs button mappings first..
08:51:54midkayCassandra, ouch.. apparently it needs a few button mappings.. :)
08:52:02midkayJdGordon, well, i could define a few..
08:52:22JdGordoni need select, menu and quit/cancel
08:52:30*amiconn demands it has to work on the player ;)
08:52:32midkayRECORDER_PAD - select: BUTTON_PLAY; menu - BUTTON_F1; quit - BUTTON_OFF.. :)
08:52:54Cassandramidkay: if you would do that and test in the sims, I'm happy to withdraw my objections to letting it in before the freeze.
08:53:13midkayCassandra, i have a recorder i could test it on..
08:53:24Cassandramidkay, excellent. Even better.
08:53:36amiconnBtw, a number of plugins recently got menus. These seem to be custom made. they behave rather inconsistently :/
08:53:46Bg3ramiconn yeah :(
08:53:48midkayamiconn, what?

08:54:21CassandraRight. Going forever: snake, BatteryTest. Going till 3.1: SearchEngine, Databox, Being renamed: Snake -> Snake2
08:54:22PiXEL8more codecs =)

08:55:51Bg3rhm, do you think that proper plugin resizings should be considered as bugfixes?
08:56:02*Cassandra is determined to get out a release on May 1st if we possibly can.
08:56:08CassandraBg3r, absolutely.
08:56:22midkaybtw, what are the chances of getting iPods supported in 3.0? none? i use rockbox daily on my 5G, i've tested everything there is to test really.. by the end of the freeze it's probably going to be working as well as any irivers..
08:56:40JdGordonCassandra: thats a month away.. relllaaaax... itl be ready in 2 weeks...

08:57:59PiXEL8since there are more ppl here, any word on the tracker and sid codecs?
08:58:03amiconnmidkay: iPod has a long way to go until it's ready for release
08:58:06Cassandraamiconn, that plugin resizings are bugfixes? Yes. I'd rather we didn't ship any plugins with the wrong screen size in 3.0. It looks naff, and it shouldn't be too hard to fix.

08:58:55midkayJdGordon, what do i do to have text_editor.c created? parameteres?
08:59:00B4gderthere's no "hehe" here actually
08:59:00midkayparameters*
08:59:09PiXEL8haha?
08:59:16Bg3rJdGordon u've only added txt,rocks/text_editor, 55 55 55 55 55 55 yep ?
08:59:17LinusNhoho
08:59:18B4gdernobody is working on any tracker or sid codec
08:59:27B4gderand I don't see it happen anytime soon
08:59:31JdGordonmidkay: it should compile automatically... if it patched correctly
08:59:32B4gderunless someone steps forward
08:59:34Cassandraamiconn, oh, right. I think the menus work now, and effort spent fixing them might be better spent on other features.
08:59:35JdGordonBg3r: yup
08:59:53CassandraDo you disagree? Is it more serious than I think?
09:00
09:00:15amiconnLinusN, Bagder: The battery definitions in the config-* files are rather limiting nowadays. Like, we have several targets using LiIon/LiPoly now, which all have almost identical discharge curves, but different capacities
09:00:24midkayJdGordon, i mean how do you suggest patching it?
09:00:39LinusNamiconn: yes, those should probably be replaced with target specific defines
09:00:42JdGordonpatch -p0 < text_editor.patch
09:01:12midkayaha.
09:01:18midkayi always forget the -p0
09:01:19amiconnWe should probably change that into only distinguishing between different fundamental characteristics (and turned into a multi-value CONFIG_), and the min/max capacities as extra #defines
09:01:33Bg3rmidkay i'm going to commit it
09:01:39midkayBg3r, commit what?
09:01:48Bg3rmidkay: please, tell me the button defines again
09:01:50Bg3rtext editor
09:01:57midkayRECORDER_PAD - select: BUTTON_PLAY; menu - BUTTON_F1; quit - BUTTON_OFF.. :)
09:02:07JdGordonBg3r: if u commit it it will break the buidl for he ondio and x5 builds...
09:02:23midkaywait..
09:02:33midkayplugin buffer is full for recorder, with it..
09:02:53midkayBg3r, i'd hold off..
09:03:08midkaystill missing a number of defines and apparently it's too big to fit in some buffers..
09:03:22CassandraOh dear.
09:03:28JdGordonreally? wow
09:03:50JdGordonhow small is the plugin buffer on the recorder?
09:03:54midkay32kb
09:04:02JdGordonoh ok
09:04:13Bg3rmidkay just saw that
09:04:16midkaybut keep in mind it compiles at different sizes for different targets..
09:05:21CassandraI think we'll freeze now then, unless there are any objections. We'll try to get the editor in the dailies from shortly after 3.0 release. Opinions?
09:05:41JdGordonok, simple fix for the plugin buffer problem
09:05:41midkayJdGordon, looks rather small and efficient, i have no idea why it doesn't fit.. large variables? many? *scours*
09:05:52midkayCassandra, i object ;) i think the text editor will take less than a day..
09:06:01Bg3rCassandra i object too ...
09:06:03B4gderI say we freeze
09:06:12JdGordonmidkay: #define MAX_LINES needs to be moved up to the keybad config area and changed to 128 for recorder
09:06:13midkaywe have a whole month to fix bugs, and it's one independent plugin...
09:06:16JdGordonthen it should work fine
09:06:16B4gderthere will be a bazillion "oh only this little thing too" issues
09:06:31midkayB4gder, i don't think so... this is the last "major" change, i'd agree to that..
09:06:50B4gderyou think it is that, sure. Just wait and see ;-)
09:06:53midkayif it were a rockbox feature, i'd probably object. but it's a standalone, plugin, and it's soo close.. :)
09:07:01Bg3ryep
09:07:02B4gderwe do this dance during every release
09:07:04midkayJdGordon has toiled over this code for months!!
09:07:20midkayand you REJECT it because it's TWO MINUTES LATE! *goes on a rampage*
09:07:21JdGordonB4gder: its not like im much help on the core anyway.. so its not taking time away from the release...
09:07:41*JdGordon bbl
09:07:44B4gderno? you're just now using midkay's and Bg3r's time
09:07:47Paul_The_NerdDoes it matter if the text editor is part of 3.0, or made available 30 minutes after release?
09:07:53B4gderand you just said it didn't do the keymaps properly
09:07:56B4gderwhich also takes time
09:08:04B4gderthere's no such thing as "won't take time"

09:09:47midkayand refine them later..
09:09:48B4gderthen I don't think we can freeze until the editor goes in
09:09:50midkayodd logic, but .. :)
09:10:07B4gderI don't want us freeze and then break the freeze within minutes
09:10:23midkayB4gder, if the freeze begins i won't advocate breaking it.
09:10:23B4gderit'll make a very bad prejudice
09:10:37midkayi just hope it won't begin..
09:10:38Bg3rB4gder than just wait a little for the freeze :)
09:11:09B4gderand what is "a little" here?
09:11:22midkayBg3r, got it working for recorder or what?

09:16:13CassandraThere's no official gigabeat build yet. You're OK on that score.
09:16:39CassandraJust test as widely as you can to make sure nothing is going to leap up and bite us on the arse.
09:16:40midkaygood. that ought to be it then..
09:16:50midkayi'm testing on recorder right now.. *unplugs USB*
09:17:49LinusNi am quite worried about the h300 freeze period
09:17:58midkayhm, apparently text_editor isn't added to viewers.config wherever that is..
09:18:08LinusNtoo many people run the experimental version
09:18:22LinusNand we can not get any valid feedback on stability
09:18:36goffa__linus... saw your reply to my post
09:18:42midkayput out a request to use the official build and report any bugs possible if you can?
09:18:42B4gderthat's always an issue with the MR and h300 crowds
09:18:45goffa__quick menu doesn't work on the x5
09:18:53goffa__and party mode queues the file at the end
09:18:56LinusNgoffa: then *that* is your problem
09:19:11B4gderof course party mode adds it to the end
09:19:25LinusNB4gder: i'd not say "of course"
09:19:30B4gderI do
09:19:30Bg3rmidkay are there other possibilities for ondio ?
09:19:38B4gderit makes no sense to add it as next
09:19:43midkayBg3r, what? not really, no..
09:19:47B4gdernot if it is meant to be used by "anyone" at a party
09:19:53midkaythere's only left, right, up, down, menu and off.
09:19:58B4gderas then it'll just be a struggle on who adds someting last
09:19:59midkayso dual-using menu is the only option

09:20:18CassandraWe just don't have that many devs with H300s.
09:20:22goffa__when i browse for a file... i just want to play it.. sometimes i bump the right button
09:20:30goffa__that basically erases current playlist

09:21:50Jambonif i install rockbox, does it uninstall the original ipod firmware?
09:22:04CassandraB4gder, I vote for AI that removes the worst songs from the playlist so it fits. ;)
09:22:12CassandraJambon, no.
09:22:15Paul_The_NerdJambon: It coexists.
09:22:18midkayBg3r, it's not woring either, so you can disable building for it..

09:22:33Bg3r:D lol

09:22:45Jamboni just want to be able to use my ipod mic with it
09:22:58Jambonnot sure if it'll work since it's an ipod specific device

09:26:55amiconnThat might not be easily solvable
09:27:14Bg3rAH....
09:27:24Jambonno i mean generally adding music to the ipod
09:27:32goffa__oh.. ok
09:27:32amiconnJambon: Thing is, rockbox does neither need nor use the itunes db
09:27:51CassandraJambon, just copy your files onto the iPod disk.
09:27:56amiconnIt just plays music files you put on your iPod, in the directory structure of your choice
09:27:57goffa__then B4gder is right
09:28:18goffa__open my computer or explorer and slap files where you want them
09:28:23Jambonoh so even if i manage it with itunes rockbox will still work?
09:28:30Bg3rkkurbjun are you here ?
09:28:32amiconnJust use windows explorer or another file management tool of your choice, and copy the files
09:28:45LinusNamiconn: no, i have no news regarding the power consumption
09:29:18*Cassandra wonders if we're going to have to drop the Doom plugin before 3.0.
09:29:28LinusNwhy?
09:29:32CassandraIt really ought to work on H1xx too if it's going to stay in.
09:29:40LinusNwhy?
09:29:57CassandraBecause there's no good reason why it shouldn't.
09:30:00Paul_The_NerdIt really ought to work on at least two color targets. :-P
09:30:08LinusNthe euroconverter is player only, and it's still in
09:30:29LinusNplenty of plugins that only work on some platforms
09:30:29CassandraPaul_The_Nerd, 3.0 only has one colour target.
09:30:58CassandraLinusN, I regard player plugins as a special case, since there really aren't that many of them.
09:31:21CassandraPretty much everything else works on every supported platform that has the necessary hardware.

09:32:50Paul_The_NerdCassandra: Oh, right, 3.0. Hehehe
09:34:04CassandraLinusN: If the issue that amiconn raised isn't fixable, that might also cause problems with Doom.
09:34:26amiconnCassandra: No, that issue prevents the text editor to go in...
09:34:37Cassandraamiconn: Oh, right.
09:35:17amiconnLinusN, Cassandra: I think the player deserves some exclusive plugins since it doesn't have that many plugins at all
09:35:48amiconnFor the bitmap plugins, I'd demand they should work on all targets they can
09:36:29amiconnLinusN: A question regarding target tree: How would it be possible to gradually migrate a target to using target tree?
09:37:02amiconnI mean, as soon as I migrate one feature (e.g. power management) to target tree, I have to define TARGET_TREE
09:37:23 Nick ender1 is now known as ender` (i=ychat@84.52.165.220)
09:37:58amiconn...but then every #ifdef TARGET_TREE in other, not yet migrated parts (e.g. lcd drivers) triggers, which isn't what we need...
09:38:12Cassandraamiconn, that's my opinion too, although I'd have no objection to someone porting the euroconverter to other targets if they want to,
09:38:37amiconnI'm thinking about clearing up powermgmt, as it's currently a huge mess.
09:38:42JdGordonCassandra: u mean after the freeze??
09:38:48JdGordonor during.. ?
09:39:30CassandraJdGordon, I think I'd prefer after, although technically it fits into the bugfix category. That's an edge case.
09:41:25JdGordonto fix the doom incompatibilty u can just add #define screens Screens to line 74 of v_video.h and it works fine.. and u dont have to fiddle in the other files .. (temp simple fix...)
09:42:38 Part Paul_The_Nerd
09:43:54LinusNamiconn: i think you could "cheat" and not define TARGET_TREE until you're done
09:45:00LinusNand use the target defines
09:47:36amiconnHmm, but then the appropriate paths aren't added, so I can't use .h files placed in the target tree?

09:50:03bluebrother^shouldn't the id3 viewer renamed to "metadata viewer"? As most players support a lot of other formats than mp3 now.
09:50:59amiconntag viewer, I'd say
09:51:24amiconnI already did that internally, in the english.lang string grouping comment
09:51:42bluebrother^nice. I think this should be in 3.0
09:52:07amiconnTag viewer is also not 100% correct since the data it displays is not only derived from the tags,

10:05:30B4gderok, cool
10:06:03bluebrother^B4gder: I changed all screenshots to use the new \screenshot macro and adjusted that not to fail if images are missing. So it builds fine.
10:06:21*B4gder considers adding a daily manual for the mini2g too
10:06:33amiconnI will also change the plugin & codec loader again to use your 4-letter identifier instead of the numerical target id from configure
10:06:43bluebrother^I'm building regularly since that change now −− but most of the pictures are missing.
10:07:00amiconnThis is cleaner, and allows sorting the list in configure
10:07:31B4gderamiconn: sorting the list is still painful due to all our automatic scripts
10:07:45bluebrother^B4gder: I also noticed you're building separate manuals for h100 and h120 −− the manuals are identical.
10:07:59B4gderah, right
10:08:15B4gderbut h100 and h120 users are used to pick different ones
10:08:19bluebrother^btw, you can count the number of missing images when building the manual.
10:08:25B4gderI think that's why I did it that way
10:08:27amiconnbluebrother^, B4gder: I'll try to scan my H340 today
10:08:33bluebrother^maybe just link them together?
10:08:40B4gdera good idea
10:09:52bluebrother^if you want to you can look for lines saying "Missing image: <foo>"
10:10:26bluebrother^I still need a screenshot of the id3 screen from the player.
10:10:31B4gderI'll look into producing a little table with that info
10:10:45bluebrother^that'd be great
10:11:54bluebrother^I made some ugly hack for myself counting missing images, warnings about boxes and references.
10:11:57amiconnbluebrother^: Ah, that issue. Maybe I can have a shot at implementing screenshot for the player sim
10:12:33bluebrother^I hope we'll manage to remove all warnings soon.

10:15:39bluebrother^petur: I agree with you, but the manual has a lot of quirks now. I guess we'll need a different progress table.
10:16:00bluebrother^a lot of menus are out of date ... e.g. the pitch screen isn't mentioned anywhere.

10:48:12bluebrother^RedBreva: it's becaused the screenshot option changes the usb behaviour.
10:48:36bluebrother^iirc setting the screendump to on makes a screenshot every time a usb connect is detected.
10:48:55bluebrother^changing this can irritate the "normal" end user.
10:49:12RedBrevaAh OK, cool - Worth mentioning that specifically then?
10:49:18bluebrother^as they will come up like "my players usb is broken"
10:49:49bluebrother^maybe we should explain the debug menu more detailled in the appendix −− like "advanced users only"
10:50:36bluebrother^I also want to add something like "about this manual"
10:50:40Cassandrabluebrother^, nope. Keep the manual for end users.
10:51:02CassandraThat's something for a Rockbox technical / programmers manual if someone ever decides to write one.
10:51:12LinusNi agree
10:51:44LinusNin fact, that section in the manual should not mention any specific debug menu items
10:51:56RedBrevaGood idea.. How about I make a start on the debug menu text - just in notepad - and when it has a home, I can populate it?
10:52:02LinusNthat makes it sound like the other items are safe to use

11:17:00preglowi was planning on commiting the new crossfeed and clickwheel ticking today :/
11:17:19B4gderis that really new features?
11:17:20Paul_The_NerdWell crossfeed is a bug fix, in a way, since nobody likes the volume lessening.
11:17:37preglowwell the last is a new feature, but for ipod, of course
11:17:43preglowblind people seem to want that feature
11:18:20preglowthe crossfeed will bring along a couple of new settings
11:19:43Cassandrapreglow, we can give you a little leeway on the crossfeed settings since you got confused about dates, I think. (Unless anyone objects.)
11:19:44Paul_The_NerdI would still say crossfeed is more bug fix than new feature, just because there's been a lot of complaints caused by crosfeed in general.
11:20:22Paul_The_NerdI've had to field several "Why is rockbox so much quieter than <insert manufacturer here>?" questions that have been answered with a "Try checking if crossfeed is on"
11:20:29Bg3rCassandra haha i thought that the feature freeze is the next monday :D
11:20:44B4gdercurrently we have 28 marked bug reports for 3.0
11:20:47*Cassandra slaps Bg3r.
11:20:55Bg3rouch
11:21:02preglowyeah, it is kind of a bug fix
11:21:07CassandraB4gder, I propose to increase that number greatly in the next week.
11:21:15preglowi wouldn't be doing this if the original one didn't get so many complaints
11:21:34Cassandrapreglow, I think a working crossfeed is a 3.0 release goal.
11:22:02preglowaight, then i'll see if i can push it out during the day

11:29:37Bg3rany news on the langv2 front ?
11:34:59preglowis there still some old tag db code we can remove in rockbox?
11:36:28Paul_The_NerdThat probably needs some auditing.
11:40:46amiconnpreglow: Is that piezo thing a separate driver?
11:43:16amiconnpreglow: I'll probably do some dead code research (function level) by compiling everything with -ffunction-sections -fdata-sections and garbage collection in the linker, then comparing the map file of this with an ordinary build
11:43:27amiconnI did that for archos months ago...
11:45:25amiconnThe tagdb code is another area that needs review. It should be ripped out, and the chunked browsing code needs to be ported to tagcache
11:45:47Paul_The_NerdWhat is chunked browsing?
11:45:47amiconnWe definitely need chunked browsing in 3.0

11:54:26peturaaarg... the AGC patch author readies his patch... one day too late :(
11:54:51Paul_The_NerdIt doesn't really *hurt* a patch to enter CVS the day after 3.0
11:54:56linuxstbIs that a swcodec implementation of something available on hwcodec?
11:54:56preglowamiconn: ok
11:55:03preglowamiconn: it is syncronised to the ui
11:55:12preglowbut i really won't have time to do any remodelling of the code right now
11:55:22dwihnoPaul_The_Nerd: so it's useless if you don't have id3tags?
11:55:38linuxstbdwihno: I think it will try and guess the tags from the filename.
11:55:42dwihnoPaul_The_Nerd: some kind of directory cache would be _SO_ swell (on units with more than 2 megs of RAM)
11:55:44peturlinuxstb: I think it should work on all platforms as it uses peakmeter info
11:55:44linuxstb(.. and path)
11:55:49amiconnHow is it synchronised to the ui? It clicks when the event is generated, not when it's used to actually move the list cursor
11:55:50preglowamiconn: the apple firmware does the exact same thing anyway, without people complaining their asses of. it would of course be nicer to have it click only when something is registered
11:55:59Paul_The_Nerddwihno: That's called "Dircache" and I believe it's in Disk Settings
11:56:07dwihnoPaul_The_Nerd: there is a dir cache?
11:56:13*dwihno still runs rockbox from 2005-05 ;)
11:56:15Paul_The_NerdBeen there for a while, yeah. :)
11:56:30dwihnoWhy fix what isn't broken? :)
11:56:50linuxstbpetur: I was just trying to find an excuse to commit it. If the feature was already there in swcodec, we could use that as a reason to add it to hwcodec...
11:56:53dwihnoI gotta update :)
11:56:58linuxstbdwihno: Which player do you have?
11:57:00Paul_The_NerdAye. I only update often so that I can look for bugs.
11:58:08Paul_The_NerdWell, that and answer six billion forum questions about the new features and how to use 'em. Albeit not always as accurately as I'd like to be able to.
11:59:30dwihnolinuxstb: recorder 2 meg
12:00
12:00:10dwihnolinuxstb: am getting a new ipod in a matter of days
12:00:43preglowamiconn: but ok, not keeping it in the button driver will require us to add code to just about every place in rockbox and plugins that uses the clickwheel
12:01:05preglowthe net result of this will surely be that at least i wont commit it for a good while
12:01:15amiconnHmm.
12:01:35pregloweven though i agree it's the better approach
12:01:47amiconnThe problem with clicking for a single button even would e.g. be that it starts to 'ticker' when repeat kicks in
12:02:03amiconn...and that it clicks twice for shortclicks (press-release)
12:02:11preglowoh, but i only handle the wheel
12:02:12preglownot the buttons
12:02:21amiconnah
12:02:34preglowi don't see the point in handling the buttons, you should feel pretty easily when they have actually been pressed properly
12:02:34amiconnI thought it ticks also for the buttons, like retailos
12:02:47preglownope, just the wheel
12:02:57preglowand this also handles the repeat case
12:02:59Paul_The_NerdRetail ticks for the buttons?
12:03:05preglowi set the piezo click flag in the button isr itself
12:03:18linuxstbAt least on my ipod, the buttons have a firm "click" when you press them. I don't think we need the piezo as well.
12:03:25preglowbut then i don't really know how clickwheel repeat works
12:03:30preglowlinuxstb: mine too
12:03:34amiconnWell, I don't know whether a blind person can feel whether one of the iPod buttons is pressed properly
12:03:52preglowamiconn: you really feel the button giving in when it's pushed
12:03:53amiconnThe buttons have no tactile 'click' feedback
12:04:09preglowif it's quiet, you even hear it
12:04:23Paul_The_Nerdpreglow: Remember, he's got the mini, so it might be a bit different
12:04:37preglowi know, but i think i remember the mini being like that too
12:05:21linuxstbamiconn: Do you have a ruler handy? What is the diameter of your clickwheel?
12:06:03Slasherihmm, soon i have powerful tag filtering at the engine level based on different conditions for numeric and string tags
12:06:13linuxstbMy 4G's wheel is 42mm in diameter. I'm curious if your wheel is the same component, or different.

12:14:41Bg3rSlasheri but the tagcache is a feature for 3.0 ...
12:14:47linuxstbBut maybe porting tagdb features to tagcache is OK.
12:14:53Paul_The_NerdThat's the problem. The very first feature freeze announcement said the 4th, then the later one said the 3rd.
12:14:54preglowBg3r: hahaha
12:14:54Slasheriyes.. so probably i should do that anyway..
12:15:10preglowhaha
12:15:16preglowi thought it was tomorrow too
12:15:25preglowahh, so they changed it...
12:15:42preglowbut yeah, tag cache is a 3.0 release point, so go on
12:15:44Paul_The_NerdThey changed it ages ago, but yes, for a very brief time it was said that it was the 4th
12:15:46preglowdo your thing, heh
12:16:29linuxstbSlasheri: Do you have plans for other tagcache features apart from conditional filtering?
12:16:41linuxstb(I mean for 3.0)
12:16:51Paul_The_NerdYeah, "Disable Tag DB / runtime DB and replace with tagcache" is under "Release Critical"
12:17:37linuxstbPaul_The_Nerd: Have you tested tagcache with voice UI on your Nano?
12:17:56Paul_The_NerdHm
12:18:15linuxstb(I'm wondering about that bug report that's on the TagCache wiki page)
12:18:57Paul_The_NerdLet me just copy over a voice file and see
12:18:59Paul_The_NerdGimme a moment
12:20:46Slasherilinuxstb: not plans for any other big features
12:21:03Paul_The_Nerdlinuxstb: What's the bug report about?
12:21:08Paul_The_NerdOh, wiki
12:21:09Paul_The_NerdLemme go see
12:21:26Slasherithat conditional filtering would allow user to create entirely own view brach, for example year - artist - album - song with all having optional conditions
12:21:27linuxstbSomeone mentioned it on the ipod forum, so I added it to the wiki page.
12:21:35Slasheri*branch
12:21:44Paul_The_Nerdlinuxstb: I have no data abort right now, though my voice file is *completely* wrong with the strings, I would assume because of LangV2 changes
12:22:16Paul_The_NerdIt's spelling out filenames and everything, though I don't recall there being an "X" in Albums anywhere
12:22:18Mikachulinuxstb: maybe you already know but the nano wheel is 30mm
12:22:24linuxstbOK, so we should probably remove that from the wiki page. If someone experiences it, we should ask them to file a proper bug report.
12:22:33Paul_The_NerdYeah. I'll do it, since I'm there
12:23:07linuxstbMikachu: I knew it was different than the 4Gs. Just for the record, the 5g's wheel is 38mm.
12:23:32Paul_The_NerdI'll leave the model specific header, for future potential use.
12:23:34Mikachumaybe you should have the sensitivity depend on model in scrolling lists
12:23:50Mikachubtw i just got home so i have no idea what you're talking about :)
12:24:23linuxstbI think we were talking about piezo sounds on button presses. Currently preglow's only implemented it for the wheel.
12:24:31Mikachuah
12:24:42Mikachui agree it shouldn't be hardcoded in the button driver i think
12:25:51Paul_The_NerdSo, does the "Voice Support" portion of ReleastTodo include making a whole new batch of voice files? And, somewhat related, ever follow up with AT&T?
12:27:05linuxstbI would assume a release requires a new set of voice files.
12:27:27preglowMikachu: but think of the amount of work for doing anything else :/

12:27:52Mikachubut do you want clicking everywhere? not only in treeviews?
12:28:14Paul_The_NerdUntil recently the CVS ones left over from November or whenever, if you had a copy, could be used.
12:30:16linuxstbMikachu: Can you think of anywhere where you don't need it?
12:30:40Mikachumaybe in games etc
12:30:51Mikachubut possibly having a disable_beeps() would be better?
12:33:30preglowor possibly just ignoring it?
12:33:42preglowit's like that in retailos, and it doesn't annoy me too badly
12:35:03preglowit's also very nice to use to count the number of inadvertent volume changes you just did while searching for the next button

13:29:08Mikachumarkun: i'm not sure
13:29:19Mikachui would sort of want to define logical pages
13:29:42Mikachubut since the layouts are user settable, it could be left as an exercise to the user to make them fit with a given font
13:30:48markuna newline now forces a new line, but we could change it to force a new page maybe?
13:30:51CassandraMikachu, in the UK at least, copyright is an automatic right. You don't actually need to assert it.
13:31:02Mikachuhm, yeah, in sweden too
13:31:15B4gderits like almost in every country on the planet
13:31:15Mikachubut don't you still need to mark it with your real name, or is a pseudonym enough?
13:31:28Mikachui guess the us has something different, they always do
13:31:28CassandraWhat is this thing with people not wanting people to know their real name anyway?
13:31:30Paul_The_NerdYou don't have to mark it with anything

13:34:14Paul_The_NerdMikachu: I'm guessing it's more like "The phone vibrates in my pocket and rubs the wheel" and that person misunderstood it?
13:34:37Mikachui assumed the electromagnetic field disturbed the capacitance meters in the wheel
13:34:50Paul_The_NerdMaybe
13:34:57Cassandrapreglow, *laugh* Well, it's a thought.
13:35:06FebsThat's what I didn't understand about his whole point. "I'm not giving my real name ... oh, but my work is still my copyright."

14:12:01*Paul_The_Nerd seconds that
14:12:13CassandraThen they get copied to .rwps files on target if they match the target's remote dimensions.
14:13:19peturWill we only have WPSses that match the target screen _exactly_ ? Using smaller ones kinda looks silly

15:25:27Paul_The_Nerdgodzirra: Well, there's already a patch in the tracker for Album Art, so you can watch for that one to show up in the changelog. Though not in the next 4 weeks.

15:25:39Jungti1234H10 is better than H300?
15:25:42godzirraPaul_The_Nerd: thats the one that reads from a file in the same directory though, corererect?
15:25:45godzirraIck. lag.
15:25:47godzirra*correct
15:26:02Kohlrabi<Jungti1234> H10 is better than H300? | H10 'lost' many features afaik
15:26:03 Quit damaki_ (Read error: 110 (Connection timed out))
15:26:09godzirraAnd where can I find the tracker?
15:26:19Paul_The_Nerdgodzirra: It does at the moment, yes. But Album Art is probably going to enter CVS like that, long before it's from tags (if ever, I know most things that embet it in tags use png or jpg, no?)
15:26:32preglowyea
15:26:33Paul_The_Nerdgodzirra: It's that link that says Patches on the main page...
15:26:33Jungti1234Kohlrabi: and?
15:26:38Kohlrabiwhat and?
15:26:43KohlrabiThat's bad imho
15:26:46linuxstbJungti1234: The H10 is extremely similar to the ipods. It uses the same CPU and some other components.
15:26:48Paul_The_NerdJungti1234: H300 is better than H10 in general.
15:26:59godzirraPaul_The_Nerd: yeah, jpg for the most part I believe. And thanks, I'm reading up on the patches page.
15:27:01Paul_The_NerdBy the standards of many people, at least
15:27:04Kohlrabie.g. the iRiver site states nothing about ogg-support, so I reckon it's gone
15:27:05Jungti1234hm..
15:27:16godzirraKohlrabi: wow, that sucks.
15:27:19Kohlrabidunno if H10 has a remote
15:27:28Jungti1234By the way, why can't H300 raise performance such as H10?
15:27:32Kohlrabi(which I personally use very much ;))
15:27:52Kohlrabiyou mean it amplifies?
15:28:20B4gderraise performance?
15:28:28KohlrabiI consider H10 being a step back in iRiver's portable history ;)
15:28:31Jungti1234wait. um
15:28:54Jungti1234performance...
15:28:59linuxstbgodzirra: As Paul said, it's unlikely that Rockbox will support JPG and PNG artwork in ID3 tags. You should try and find a utility that will extract it to files and use the current album art patch.
15:29:14KohlrabiI mean, the market is full of mediocre players, and iPod is on top, so there is nothing to get there for iRiver
15:29:25Kohlrabithey should focus on alternatives
15:29:55B4gderthey all want ipods numbers
15:30:00B4gderso they all want to make ipods
15:30:09Kohlrabiyeah
15:30:12Jungti1234H300 hardware is can better performance than H10?
15:30:14godzirralinuxstb: Why will it never support jjpg and png in id3 tags? Isn't that a standard?
15:30:36linuxstbIn the view of most (all?) Rockbox developers, it's a bad standard.
15:30:38godzirraAnd it doesnt seem like it would be hard to add I would think.
15:30:54Paul_The_NerdDon't ever say "it doesn't seem like it would be hard" unless you're willing to do it. :)
15:30:55B4gderthink again

15:31:17godzirraPaul_The_Nerd: I've offered numerous times to help in other ways. *shrug*
15:31:28Paul_The_NerdI'd think it'd be very difficult to estimate the difficulty of adding something without both knowledge of C *and* a familiarity with that aspect of Rockbox's code...
15:32:13Kohlrabi<Jungti1234> H300 hardware is can better performance than H10? | I dunno, should be the same I think
15:32:14Paul_The_NerdAt the moment Rockbox doesn't even have access to a .png decoder, for example, so that would need to be written from scratch.
15:32:28markungodzirra: it's great though that you want to help in other ways than coding
15:32:31KohlrabiThe H300 can do all that he is meant for
15:32:39KohlrabiSo he is at 100% performance
15:32:49godzirraPaul_The_Nerd: I misread your post.. I thought you said "Its not long before its read frmo id3 tags"
15:32:51Jungti1234haha.. right... but..
15:32:55KohlrabiAnd I think it's the same for H10
15:32:56godzirraas opposed to "long before its read..."
15:33:05Jungti1234Then, first again.
15:33:13Kohlrabi:)
15:33:29Jungti1234H300 hardware is worse than H10?
15:33:34KohlrabiYou could look what the H10 is made of, componentwise
15:33:37Kohlrabiand then estimate
15:33:38crashdh100 you mean ?
15:33:41KohlrabiI dunno
15:33:50crashdh100 and the h300 are the *similar* models
15:33:51Paul_The_Nerdgodzirra: Album Art is a *hopeful* feature for 3.1, and even then it's a general consensus that "read from file" type is better, if it can be handled well.
15:33:53Kohlrabino, h10, the new iRiver
15:33:56Jungti1234'H10'
15:33:56crashdh10 is pretty similar hardware to an ipod
15:34:00crashdportalplayer, wolfson codec
15:34:01crashdand so on
15:34:02linuxstbI would say the H10's PP5020 is more powerful than a Coldfire. But probably not significantly.
15:34:08markunJungti1234: H10 is a portalplayer player. So expect ipod performance.
15:34:09Kohlrabinomore coldfire?

15:34:29Jungti1234hmmm
15:34:32godzirraPaul_The_Nerd: Won't the rockbox interface "play" jpgs though? i.e. if I add a directory to a playlist, won't it add the jpg in that directory to a playlist as well?
15:34:50Jungti1234ok. thanks all
15:34:50B4gderyes and no
15:34:53Paul_The_Nerdgodzirra: No, only music is playlisted. Jpegs are handled by an external viewer.
15:34:59linuxstbgodzirra: No, it doesn't "play" jpegs. There is a jpeg viewer plugin, but that can't be used to load album art.
15:35:19godzirraThats fine... this is actually a seperate question from my id3 tags question...
15:35:31Paul_The_NerdKeeping the ability to decode jpegs out of the core also helps manage binary size.
15:35:38KohlrabiAre you talking about stuffing pictures in id3 tags? :o
15:35:43godzirraI was just concerned that the jpgs would be added. I didnt know how smart the create playlist functions were.
15:35:50godzirraKohlrabi: I was before yes.
15:35:54Kohlrabium, OK
15:36:02godzirraPaul_The_Nerd: makes sense.
15:36:20Jungti1234linuxstb, markun: How about other hardware except CPU?
15:36:22godzirraIs there a place I can read up on TagCache?
15:36:42Paul_The_Nerdgodzirra: In the wiki, there's a TagCache page
15:36:44KohlrabiWouldn't it be better to implement support for a container like matroska or similar?
15:36:44webguest73http://www.rockbox.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/TagCache
15:37:12godzirraThanks Paul
15:37:22Kohlrabi(and I don't want anyone to do it, just a remark ;))
15:37:41Paul_The_NerdKohlrabi: Or just avoid embedding album art and the music in the same file so that you don't have [tracks] number of the same image.
15:37:56Kohlrabitrue
15:38:30godzirraIt doesnt make much difference to me. Assuming an average of 10 tracks and a 10-15k jpg... that doesnt add up to that much.
15:38:45KohlrabiStill 'bad' style imo
15:38:55pussfellerrockbox sounds warmer somehow than apple firmware
15:38:57Kohlrabiredundancy and stuff
15:39:03pussfellermaybe I am just tripping
15:39:08godzirralol pussfeller
15:39:11Kohlrabi:)
15:39:24Kohlrabiwell, 10-15k add up ;)
15:39:43linuxstbgodzirra: Also, what size (resolution) are your images? Requiring Rockbox to resize them isn't a good idea either - that's much better done once on a PC.
15:39:43B4gderand... people tend to use much bigger images than 10-15K
15:39:45Paul_The_Nerdgodzirra: Also, remember, likely it'd have to be an embedded .bmp
15:39:48Kohlrabihow many songs have you got on your HD? ;)
15:39:59godzirraKohlrabi: I have 4000ish, give or take a few hundred. Thats 40 megs over a 30gig player.
15:40:05Kohlrabium
15:40:36godzirralinuxstb: thats true. I'm not sure how to check the resolution on them though.
15:40:39KohlrabiOK, still putting images in tags seems odd ;)
15:40:43godzirraAnd guys, I'm not arguing that its a -good- model.
15:40:50godzirraI'm just arguing that I dont think its as bad as you guys are saying is all ;)
15:41:01Paul_The_NerdOh, nobody said it was *that* bad.
15:41:02godzirraHmm.. I dont have a force tag update in General Settings->Playback
15:41:04Paul_The_NerdJust that the other way was preferred.
15:41:10Paul_The_Nerdgodzirra: how old is your build?
15:41:25godzirrahmmm.. maybe a week?
15:41:28godzirra2 tops.
15:41:32godzirraI'll update and try again.
15:41:36Paul_The_NerdWell, then it might be pre tagcache
15:41:41linuxstbgodzirra: The main problems are 1) decoding the jpeg/png file; and 2) Resizing the image. Converting and resizing the images to .bmp files on a PC makes Rockbox's life easy.
15:41:51*webguest73 finds it somewhat confusing that RockCalendar is listed on PluginIndex
15:41:51Paul_The_NerdIt's generally a good idea not to expect features that came out after the last time you updated to be on your player. :)
15:42:00Kohlrabibtw, in all this albumart discussion, is it implemented on targets right now?
15:42:05godzirralinuxstb: See, that all makes sense. No one has explained it that way. ;)
15:42:09KohlrabiAnd if it is, which ones?
15:42:11Paul_The_NerdKohlrabi: There's a patch so far.
15:42:24Kohlrabiah, ok
15:42:42KohlrabiStill has to be 'code-policed' and reviewed?
15:42:59Paul_The_NerdWell, there were changes that needed to be made about where in memory the album art was kept and such
15:43:07Paul_The_NerdI think it was initially reading the disk on every song change.
15:43:11*Paul_The_Nerd isn't sure
15:43:15Kohlrabium
15:43:17Kohlrabimkay
15:43:33B4gderI still it does that again
15:43:36B4gder"I think"
15:43:39Paul_The_NerdHehehe
15:43:48linuxstbThe album art patch is basically waiting until Rockbox stores all metadata in the audio buffer along with the audio itself. So no extra memory is wasted.
15:44:15Paul_The_NerdIt's listed as a hopeful for Fireworks.

15:45:40LinusNis this the way we would like to solve the backlight issue in plugins?
15:45:42godzirralinuxstb: blasphemer ;)
15:45:42LinusNhttp://www.rockbox.org/tracker/task/4988
15:45:48Bg3rany thoughts about the last mail from gl.tter ?
15:46:04Bg3r"Track skipping & shuffling cause hard lockups. - How long is "long periods" because I took a post-tagcache build on a four hour drive … 3:33 pm
15:46:09LinusNBg3r: yes, my thought is to fix the bug
15:47:15Paul_The_NerdLinusN: I like the option for backlight to be always-on in plugins. But that's just me.
15:47:19Bg3rLinusN i mean is this the exact problem ?
15:47:23LinusNi like it too
15:47:35*Bg3r joins in the liking
15:47:51LinusNthe problem is that it's annoying when the backlight times out in for example sudoku
15:47:52linuxstbI'm not sure about that backlight patch. Personally, I don't see why plugins need to be any different to the core - especially now that we have the "first keypress turns on backlight" option.
15:47:59Paul_The_NerdBg3r: Isn't the most recent devlist thing from gl.tter about the Shuffle+Shuffle Repeat freeze?
15:48:06godzirraPaul_The_Nerd: yeah, March 22nd was my lasst build. oops.
15:48:10Paul_The_NerdLinusN: Or *anything* that you stop and think in.

15:53:07peturregarding different graphics formats for album art, I just found this: http://freeimage.sourceforge.net/ - it's GPL and C code :)
15:53:44amiconnWell, it doesn't make sense for all plugins.
15:54:15amiconnI think the plugins should have a backlight option if it makes sense for them

16:00:14linuxstbPaul_The_Nerd: Yes, that's exactly my thoughts. And langv2 for plugins will be happening soon as well.

16:01:42amiconnMoos: It's not a script mistake. This string once was deprecated, then resurrected
16:01:45webmindPaul_The_Nerd, ah ok
16:02:01Moosamiconn: ok
16:02:03amiconnfrancais.lang was just not updated to reflect this
16:02:09Moosok
16:02:12amiconnBattery support on the iPods is currently in a sorry state, except on the video
16:02:46amiconnHowever, I have the correct scale now on my mini, and it seems we can use the same scale factor for all iPods,
16:03:03amiconnsince they all use LiIon and the same chip (pcf)
16:03:29Paul_The_Nerdamiconn: What is it?
16:03:31linuxstbDoes that mean the 5g code should be applied everywhere?
16:03:45petur42
16:04:25preglowno, just the scale factor
16:04:26amiconnlinuxstb: At least the scale factor. I just did that - and my battery voltage display is correct. I defined LIPOL1300 battery - and the percentage turned correct
16:04:55preglowi'm using the 5g scale factor on the nano now, and at least the voltage reading looks correct
16:04:56amiconnI'll change that LIPOL1300 into a general LIPOL definition, and separate the capacity values
16:05:02preglowbattery indicator is still always full, though
16:05:20amiconnpreglow: Try enabling HAVE_LIPOL1300
16:05:29Paul_The_NerdYeah if you enable that it shows percentage
16:05:37amiconnSorry #define CONFIG_BATTERY BATT_LIPOL1300
16:05:57Paul_The_NerdBut at "full" charge, with the 5G scale factor, it can be anywhere from 88% to 100%

16:10:53 Join dpassen2 [0] (n=0c04dcd4@labb.contactor.se)
16:11:24JdGordon.. and will the release put the rockbox.X file in the .rockbox folder?
16:12:24B4gderI think advocate us starting to support a path system for various stuff, to allow users to put things outside of the .rockbox dir
16:12:52Paul_The_NerdYeah
16:12:59B4gderto move towards a system where a user can wipe his .rockbox or update it, without very much loss
16:13:27B4gderbut perhaps not in 3.0 ;-)
16:13:29linuxstbFor Doom, maybe the "wad viewer" approach would be better. But that has complications with files requiring multiple wads.
16:14:07CtcpIgnored 1 channel CTCP requests in 0 seconds at the last flood
16:14:07*B4gder hesitates a bit with the langv2 commit
16:14:15preglowi think keeping stuff in .rockbox makes sense
16:14:20linuxstbWe also need to package prboom.wad (it just contains data required by the Doom plugin such as trig tables) - I think that's something that should live somewhere under .rockbox
16:14:27Paul_The_NerdI was thinking on that. Why not a .txt file that lists IWAD and then the PWADS so you just create launch files for each of your mods.
16:14:47Paul_The_NerdThen you dump the iwads in the /IWAD directory and the pwads in the /PWAD directory, and just click the plaintext files
16:14:48linuxstbPaul_The_Nerd: Or simply the command-line arguments you would pass to doom normally.
16:14:52JdGordonwasnt this discusse a while back, and there was problesm int he code?
16:15:01Paul_The_Nerdlinuxstb: Or the command line arguments, sure. :)
16:15:55linuxstbSo for simple usage, clicking on a WAD would play it. For more complicated usage, a ".doom" file which is some kind of text file specifying the options.
16:16:30Paul_The_NerdYeah. With a "You can only launch IWADs like this" when you click on a PWAD
16:16:37JdGordon... your gonna get hit with the "feature freeze" stick...
16:17:33linuxstbBug report: Doom requires files in a fixed location.
16:17:42*linuxstb ducks
16:17:44peturhahaha
16:18:10JdGordonhaha.. good enough for me :D
16:18:46*amiconn also doesn't like the /games/doom path
16:18:52Paul_The_NerdI *do* think that since backdrops need to be in /.rockbox/ there should be a "Browse Backdrops" option somewhere
16:19:18Paul_The_NerdJust because it seems like this shouldn't be the only case where you have to set it to view all to get to something
16:19:38linuxstbI did try to implement a "Browse Backdrops" feature, but it's complicated by the fact that just clicking on a .bmp file in the file browser doesn't set it as a backdrop.
16:20:05linuxstbSo it's more than just copying and pasting the existing "browse X" code.
16:20:07*petur likes to keep data and programs in different trees
16:20:11Paul_The_NerdAaaaah
16:20:36Paul_The_NerdAnd "Set as backdrop" probably should never be the automatic .bmp function
16:21:15linuxstbYes, that was the general view at the time.
16:22:22XavierGrwhy don't we have a BMP viewer just like the jpeg?
16:22:32 Quit MulziSAW2 (Read error: 110 (Connection timed out))
16:23:14linuxstbXavierGr: I think simply because no-one has implemented one.
16:23:30XavierGrbut the code exists in the core of rockbox, right?
16:23:43B4gderperhaps because not many developers have bmp files around they want to watch
16:24:00linuxstbNot really. There is a simple bmp loader, but a viewer would need to handle scaling, panning etc.
16:24:09preglowstill need png, gif, etc
16:24:09XavierGrhmmm
16:24:27XavierGrwell bmp is another small step
16:24:33preglowjpeg.c should probably be renamed to imageviewer.c or something
16:24:40peturhttp://freeimage.sourceforge.net/ - it's GPL and C code
16:24:48XavierGrand it should be fairly easy to code. (in contrast to jpeg)

17:10:02amiconnBg3r: Well, if voice isn't actually used, adding voice: strings only bloats the voicefiles and forces application of more compression, making it sound worse...
17:10:16webguest73It will attempt to run the patching routine pretty much whatever you do (change focus, click browse again, etc)
17:10:42B4gderwe won't mind patches

17:56:34*linuxstb builds an iaudio sim
17:57:11kkurbjunlinuxstb, do you know if gray_gray_bitmap works on the sim?
17:57:23kkurbjunlinuxstb, doom runs on the x5 sim
17:57:37kkurbjunfor some reason it's not running on the target though
17:57:53linuxstbI've never tried the grayscale plugins in the sim, but I thought amiconn had implemented it.
17:59:36amiconngray_*gray_bitmap*() take canonical grayscale images, i.e. 1byte/pixel, line-wise, 0..255
17:59:36linuxstbbluebrother^: Keep your finger held down on "/" - it seems to be a long press on record to bring up the menu.
18:00
18:00:19kkurbjunamiconn, I'm looking at the plasma plugin as a reference, when I'm initializing the grayscale lib, how big does gbuf need to be?
18:01:25amiconnThe lib takes as much as you allow it to. If it can't properly initialise with that amount, it'll return 0
18:01:59kkurbjunI was just going to do a malloc to give it it's buffer for doom so I was wondering how much to give
18:02:14amiconnFor fullscreen on H1x0 with the maximum of 33 shades, you'll need 160KB in unbuffered mode
18:02:36kkurbjunok, great
18:02:54amiconnThen you're only allowed to use the gray_ub_* drawing functions
18:02:57 Quit petur ("done")
18:03:20kkurbjunok, that's what I was doing for now, would that be the right call to use?
18:03:34amiconnFor buffered mode, you'll need an additional 40KB
18:04:44kkurbjunok, I'll just give that for now
18:05:00kkurbjunhaha, it works
18:05:12bluebrother^linuxstb: tried different keyboard ... now it works
18:05:35kkurbjunI wonder if it'll work on the target
18:05:58kkurbjunI'll commit the changes, I can't edit the subdirs I dont' think so someone will have to do that
18:06:00bluebrother^seems it doesn't like my laptops keypad mode.
18:06:44linuxstbkkurbjun: There is no technical reason why you can't edit SUBDIRS.
18:07:03kkurbjunoh, I thought my cvs access was limited to doom
18:07:33linuxstbBut that's not enforced through access rights. It's enforced through trust :)
18:08:00kkurbjun: ), I see
18:10:01amiconnkkurbjun: Buffered and unbuffered mode differ in performance, visual appearance when display content changes, available drawing functions, and ram usage
18:10:43amiconnUnbuffered mode uses less ram (no chunky front & back buffer), but only offers a subset of drawing functions (clearing, bitmap drawing and scrolling)
18:11:41amiconnWhen display content changes often, unbuffered mode also causes more flicker, because it always redraws the whole bitmap
18:12:02kkurbjunamiconn, ahh, is buffered faster then?
18:12:09kkurbjunI guess I could test the two
18:13:00amiconnBuffered mode only updates those pixels which actually changed in brightness (in destination brightness terms), and should be faster as long as not too many pixels actually change brightness
18:13:52kkurbjunamiconn, hmm, I would guess that doom would be changing the brightness of most of the screen
18:14:22amiconnIt should be better suited for moving graphics like doom. The occasional full-screen change will be slower because of the extra buffering layer, but when you move around in a room, it should be faster
18:15:21amiconnkkurbjun: Really? I think normally only a fraction of the pixels will change brightness from frame to frame
18:15:50amiconnRemember, this is destination brightness, which has only 33 steps
18:16:02kkurbjunamiconn, I guess it's getting scaled down from 256 colors to 33 grays, but every item pickup flashes the screen..
18:16:34kkurbjunI've committed the unbuffered code, if you or someone could test it on target that would be great
18:16:44amiconnyes, such occasions will become slightly slower
18:17:18linuxstbkkurbjun: I'll give it a test now.
18:17:39amiconnSomeone should just try both and compare...
18:18:09kkurbjunlinuxstb, I just commited the subdirs change
18:18:25amiconnIt's also possible to hack some shortcuts in, bypassing the runtime 256->33 remapping
18:19:31amiconnThis remapping is there because the grayscale lib offers variable depth, but the palette could be precalculated in case of doom
18:19:45linuxstbkkurbjun: One warning: i_video.c:59: warning: 'graybuffer' defined but not used
18:20:18amiconnWe can also trade number of grayscales vs. speed
18:20:29kkurbjunamiconn, oh, I see, I'm already calculating it down to 256..
18:20:35kkurbjunlinuxstb, that's strange
18:20:47kkurbjun#ifndef HAVE_LCD_COLOR
18:20:47kkurbjun graybuffer[y * LCD_WIDTH + x]=palette[paletteIndex];
18:20:47kkurbjun#else
18:20:56kkurbjunthat's the proper way to ifdef it?
18:23:36Mikachuwhat function would i call to make the vkeyboard use a singlecolor background instead of my backdrop?
18:24:00Mikachulcd_set_backdrop(NULL)?
18:26:04Mikachuseems to be it
18:26:06linuxstbkkurbjun: The problem is the #if defined(LCD_H300) - you should be doing #if (CONFIG_LCD == LCD_H300)
18:26:25linuxstbdefined(LCD_H300) is always true...
18:26:47kkurbjunlinuxstb, oh, oops

18:32:01linuxstbSorry, it doesn't freeze. If I press STOP for example, then the hard disk spins up for some reason.

18:32:21kkurbjunhmm
18:32:33kkurbjunso it's running?
18:32:43Kyomi|offOh
18:32:57 Nick Kyomi|off is now known as Kyomi (n=a@ip-152010169023.student.appstate.edu)
18:33:02KyomiQuestion I forgot to ask last night
18:33:22KyomiCan you delete the plugins that are useless/you never use without any adverse affects?
18:33:29linuxstbkkurbjun: Yes, it's running. I can hear monsters....
18:33:49MikachuKyomi: yeah
18:33:52linuxstbIt's just that there is nothing being displayed on the LCD. Is there an lcd_gray_update() that needs to be called?
18:33:57kkurbjunbut no display?
18:34:11webguest73Oh wow, Doom on h120?
18:34:14linuxstbNo - the display is stuck on the text output.
18:34:21linuxstbwebguest73: Yes, audio only at the moment though :)
18:34:44FebsIs there any reason to keep a link to the 2.4 manual on the documentation page now that the draft 3.0 manul builds are available? At the very least, I'm inclined to move the 2.4 manual to the bottom of the page and highlight the draft 3.0 manual more prominently.
18:34:45preglowhow does the plugins use audio?
18:34:56kkurbjunah, I don't think so
18:35:09preglowi take it they don't go through dsp and all that?
18:35:17KyomiWait
18:35:24KyomiWhats the topic *feature freeze* for
18:35:26Kyomi?
18:35:59linuxstbRockbox is preparing for the release of version 3.0
18:36:01Mikachuno more features for a month
18:37:18FebsNo NEW features for a month.
18:37:40kkurbjunamiconn, what would be the effect of using a call like lcd_putsxy while the grayscale lib is running?
18:38:05amiconnIt would draw to the standard lcd framebuffer
18:38:50amiconnYou would see the result after switching of the grayscale lib and issuing an lcd_update()
18:39:19kkurbjunso it wouldn't messup the grayscale lib then.. any reason you can think that the target isn't showing the updates but the sim is?
18:39:45amiconnBut: never call lcd_update() (or other lcd functions which directly communicate with the lcd controller) while the grayscale lib is running
18:40:31kkurbjunamiconn, I'll have to put in a safety for that then in the printf code
18:40:36amiconnlinuxstb: For unbuffered mode, there is no update function. That's why it's called unbuffered mode...
18:41:03linuxstbOK :) You can tell I know zero about the grayscale lib...
18:42:14kkurbjunamiconn, is there any adverse effects of calling gray_release(); more then once?
18:42:28amiconnnope
18:42:50linuxstbAh - could there be a clash with the user timer?
18:43:12amiconnNo, why?
18:43:29linuxstbDoesn't the greyscale lib need it? And Doom uses it itself as well.
18:43:36amiconnOh
18:43:42amiconnright
18:44:03amiconnWhy does doom use the timer?
18:44:14amiconnIs the tick not sufficient?
18:44:15linuxstbTo give a 70Hz tick IIUC.
18:44:18kkurbjunto give the game 35 ticks/sec
18:44:26amiconnHmm.
18:44:38linuxstbI'll try changing it to the same code used in the sim.
18:44:38amiconnThat's not possible when also using the grayscale lib
18:44:41kkurbjunI can use linuxstb's code from the sim
18:44:49linuxstbIt's amiconn's code... :)
18:45:02kkurbjunahh : )
18:45:10amiconnlinuxstb: which one?
18:45:37linuxstbOr at least, the calculation to average current_tick to a 35Hz tick.
18:46:15amiconnHmm. On H1x0, the grayscale lib uses a 70Hz timer.
18:46:33dpassen2Is it possible to find old(er) changelogs than provided from the daily builds?
18:47:06amiconnlinuxstb: If you want to learn more about the grayscale lib, there are many comments in the gray_*.c files
18:47:32preglowhad a look at ipod grayscale lib?
18:47:47amiconnpreglow: patience...
18:47:51preglowjust wondering
18:48:05amiconnI *will* do that. First I need to do some experiments, and learn some arm asm
18:48:09preglowit's not like i'll ever see it anyway
18:48:23preglowjust wondering if my tick timer works right
18:48:31pregloweh
18:48:32preglowtimer.c
18:48:33preglowwhatever
18:48:34amiconnIt does. Check metronome.
18:48:39preglowright
18:48:49amiconn(after I fixed it to use TIMER_FREQ instead of CPU_FREQ)
18:48:53linuxstbOooh. Doom.
18:48:59preglowlinuxstb: for what?
18:48:59webguest73Metronome sure should use the piezo
18:49:01kkurbjunlinuxstb, it works?
18:49:06amiconnBtw, there's a chance to simplify things for coldfire
18:49:07preglowi need to get some wads
18:49:08linuxstbYes. H140.
18:49:11amiconn...in timer.c
18:49:12preglowamiconn: oh?
18:49:19kkurbjun:) great
18:49:32preglowany easy to get free wads around?
18:49:40kkurbjunpreglow

18:49:45kkurbjunoops, freedoom works
18:49:45preglowkkurbjun
18:49:48kkurbjun:)
18:49:51preglowhehe
18:49:53preglowcool
18:49:53linuxstbBut the screen is far too dark.
18:50:07amiconnpreglow: Since we now define TIMER_FREQ anyway, we can #define TIMER_FREQ (CPU_FREQ/2) for coldfire, and get rid of the runtime /2 calculation
18:50:07kkurbjunlinuxstb, try upping the gamma in the menu
18:50:17kkurbjunit's labeled mouse sensativity
18:50:33linuxstbWhich menu item is that? I can't even read the menu.

18:52:10kkurbjunthen press right a few times
18:54:28amiconnkkurbjun: Just nitpicking: the grayscale buffer is unsigned char, not fb_data
18:54:37amiconnfb_data is for core lcd data only
18:54:57Kyomipreglow: I have that wad
18:55:01kkurbjunamiconn, isnt' that the definition of fb_data for <=8bit lcds?
18:55:05Kyomipreglow: Somewhere
18:55:10linuxstbkkurbjun: Do you want me to commit the change to the timer?
18:55:15amiconnIt is, therefore -> nitpicking <_
18:55:32kkurbjun:), I'll update it in my next commit
18:55:56amiconnThe palette calculation is not correct, that might be one reason for badly visible gfx
18:56:28kkurbjunamiconn, how should it be done?
18:56:31amiconnVisually correct rgb->gray is (3*r+6*g+b)/10, not (r+g+b)/3
18:56:53kkurbjunok, I'll add that in too
18:56:56*Kyomi has boothill.wad
18:57:06KyomiSomewhere... I think it's on that alchemy cd
18:57:19*linuxstb thinks more games need to use the grayscale lib.
18:57:28KyomiBut it's.. GRAY
18:57:32KyomiI <3 my color
18:57:46*amiconn thinks the same as linuxstb, probably for a longer timer
18:57:50amiconn-r
18:58:12kkurbjunlinuxstb, could you commit the change to the timer?
18:58:35linuxstbamiconn: I'm sure you have. I've thought it for about 30 seconds.
18:58:57linuxstbkkurbjun: Yes, I'll do it now.
18:59:12linuxstbIs the user timer implemented on the X5 yet?
19:00
19:00:06amiconnShould work on all coldfires
19:01:44linuxstbYep, timer.c is using CPU_COLDFIRE, so it should be working. I'm just wondering why Doom fails on the X5.
19:02:23MikachuKyomi: gray is better than black and white
19:03:18amiconnYes, and more gray is better than less gray
19:03:35amiconnTherefore the grayscale lib on H1x0: 4 shades -> 33 shades

19:38:07preglowlostlogic: what's wrong with it?
19:38:42lostlogicpreglow: it data aborted here...
19:38:54preglowlostlogic: i mean the track skip stuff
19:38:54amiconnCassandra: Very unlikely, I'd say. The 'wett' guy working on it was last seen in december, and he posted no patch.
19:39:16lostlogicpreglow: in track skipping, pcmbuf_* calls are made on both the audio thread and the codec thread, this is a Bad Thing (TM)
19:39:17amiconnThe difficult part is the sound, as the video plugin would have to access libmad
19:39:37preglowyeah, that's a nice pickle
19:39:49preglowi wonder if we should make multi-core operation a 3.1 goal...
19:39:55linuxstbThat shouldn't be too hard though - just link the plugin directly with libmad.
19:40:05preglowlinuxstb: what about iram?
19:40:21amiconnpreglow: Grayscale doesn't take many cpu cylces itself. Plasma is slow on H3x0 as well
19:40:22linuxstbAn rvf viewer shouldn't need it.
19:40:35preglowamiconn: right
19:40:38Cassandraamiconn, shame. Well, I suspect at some point someone'll port a video player as a plugin.
19:40:48preglowlinuxstb: ah, no, but what about better vid codecs
19:41:08amiconnWell, the grayscale frame refresh uses a few CPU percent (~10% is my educated guess) on H1x0
19:41:22linuxstbpreglow: Then we'll need to optimise the video/audio codecs together to make the best combined use of IRAM. Unless we swap them...
19:41:28preglowamiconn: at no cpu boost?
19:41:31amiconngray_ub_gray_bitmap will take some time
19:41:33CassandraHmmm. Does Rockbox not patch over H3xx US firmware at all?
19:41:36preglowlinuxstb: great idea!!1
19:42:12amiconnlinuxstb: That still leaves me with the problem how to control libmad and play the decoded pcm

19:42:52preglowi also want to get rid of the bloody far calls
19:42:53preglowargh
19:43:02amiconnI would really like to work on improving swcodec playback, but first I need to understand it :/
19:43:54Genre9mp3with all these games additions lately, we have a game-flood in the plugins folder...
19:44:18preglowyeah, we should make a separate game menu some time
19:44:40amiconnpreglow: Before even starting with the grayscale lib, I'll flip the lcd-2bit-horz driver into apple format
19:44:41CassandraWe need to rethink plugin browsing in general I feel.
19:44:52CassandraMaybe split them up by categories like in the manual.
19:44:52Genre9mp3yes...it would be better if we had Browse plugins and browse games
19:44:58b00st4is there a rom for kirby's island?
19:45:01preglowamiconn: ah, so you decided on doing that, then
19:45:08amiconnThen I need to implement lcd_blit() and make a test plugin
19:45:09preglowb00st4: almost certainly
19:45:24amiconn...in order to measure the internal refresh rate.
19:45:39amiconnpreglow: Btw, did you get access to that mini 1g?
19:45:48CassandraCan you say "start menu". ;)
19:46:03b00st4hmm, cant find any, only for gba
19:46:14preglowamiconn: no, not yet, haven't seen her for a while
19:46:23preglowthe one with the mini, that is
19:47:07amiconnHmm. Would be nice to test the mini 1g build. Then I would try to unify mini 1g and 2g builds
19:47:14preglowindeed
19:47:25lostlogicamiconn: you're a classic german engineer −− you won't attack a problem until you completely understand it, and you won't be satisfied with a solution until it is 100% correct :)
19:47:46amiconnhehe, probably
19:47:47preglowi prefer to attack them before i understand them :)
19:47:51preglowusually makes for lovely code
19:47:58*amiconn disagrees
19:48:06Slasherihmm, it seems i got the conditional tagcache search engine working :)
19:48:08lostlogicI prefer to sink my teeth in and learn as I go :)
19:48:10amiconnIt makes for mess like this ipl stuff
19:48:19preglowamiconn: yes, i was somewhat ironic
19:49:00CassandraSlasheri - as in databox and searchengine? Cool.

19:49:03amiconnpreglow: E.g: In the bootloader button code, there are some lines which could just be removed.... they don't serve any purpose
19:49:24preglowamiconn: lucky for me i didn't write that, then :)
19:49:27preglowfeel free to remove them
19:49:36preglowthe bootloader button code is sketchy at best anyway
19:49:49amiconnEverything that deals with the had_io variable, to be precise
19:50:00SlasheriCassandra: no, the one integrated in the tagcache engine (i still need to commit that)
19:50:32amiconnIt's only used to make sure to exit the loop - what the following break; already ensures. It's not checked afterwards

19:52:41SlasheriCassandra: with that user can define how the tag browser structure works, for example: "Cool songs" artist ? year >= "2000" & genre = "metal" : album ? year >= "2000" : songs & title !~ "crap"
19:53:04Slasherifor example that would be a legit search-browse string parsed by the browser and tagcache engine :)
19:53:40Slasherithat would generate a browsing structure artist - album - song

19:58:07CassandraOh, I should remind people that we are officially in feature freeze. No new features in CVS, please.
19:58:52Slasherisure.. i just hope anybody minds if i commit that last feature for tagcache.. because it would be a big enhancement for it

20:39:35kkurbjunlinuxstb, yeah, I just realized that
20:39:37linuxstb_Hold MENU
20:39:40kkurbjunsorry about that
20:39:45linuxstb_np
20:40:23kkurbjunlinuxstb, I'm guessing you havn't had a chance to see what is causing the large value for nummappatches?
20:40:49linuxstb_Not yet. But I'm also not really sure where to start looking.
20:41:05kkurbjunthe only structures that I could see being read incorrectly would be in w_wad.h
20:41:24kkurbjunwadinfo_t and filelump_t
20:41:52kkurbjunI don't know if the arm compiler is padding all of those chars out to int's, but if it is that could be an issue
20:42:20kkurbjunotherwise those structs should be alligned properly
20:42:52kkurbjunall the other structs that are on disk have the PACKEDATTR
20:42:58linuxstb_Those two structs look fine. The two char arrays are both multiples of 4 bytes, so gcc shouldn't add any extra padding.
20:43:41kkurbjunthat's what I figured, but when you suggested that the wad loading may be broken that was the only thing I could think of that might be different for the arm
20:43:46*amiconn wonders why 'mouse sensitivity' in doom's menu adjusts gamma...
20:44:28kkurbjunamiconn, I havn't created a graphic for gamma
20:44:38kkurbjunI need to add that into prboom.wad
20:45:08amiconnaha, so this menu's internal function can be changed, and you did so...
