#rockbox log for 2006-04-27

00:00:06linuxstbjulius: f you look at the diff, it just enables for the 4g ipod what they used to do for the 3g ipods. Plus they've added some comments.
00:00:49juliuslinuxstb, so the code shoud be this one: ipod_i2c_send(0x8, 0x24, 0xf5);
00:00:52 Join Aditya|Nap [0] (n=aditya@c-69-138-7-5.hsd1.md.comcast.net)
00:01:03amiconnThe if() in sh.md:7138 always evaluates to false even though sh.h 2593 and sh.h:2595 should set the flag
00:01:29preglowweird
00:01:33 Part Aditya|Nap
00:02:54amiconnI have 2 choices without further hints what's going wrong here: (1) Drop the unsigned byte case and let gcc switch to word sized table for >127 or (2) Drop the signed case and always insert an extu.b for byte-sized table
00:02:55juliuslinuxstb, anyway, I will try to send this commands to my Ipod, lets see what happens, but before I can do that, where is the right place to send this commands using rockbox?
00:02:58preglowi wish i understood this gcc stuff
00:03:24preglowamiconn: i can't really see where the signed case would be useful
00:03:31preglowamiconn: ever seen a jump table with a negative jump?
00:03:32amiconnIt saves an instructin
00:03:38preglowright
00:04:26linuxstbjulius: There are three different writes - check the pcf50606 datasheet for the details of what they are doing. Basically, they enable the DCREG1, DCREG2 and DCREG3 to 3.0v, 3.3v and 3.0v respectively. So I'm guessing DCREG2 is the 3.3v power-out on the dock connector.
00:05:08amiconnBut yea, I've never seen a jump table with negative offset in gcc's output. But check SH1 memcpy, there I do use such a table...
00:05:27preglowi like the fact that the sh backend is actually bigger than the m68k one
00:05:31linuxstbjulius: Register 0x24 is DCREG1, 0x25 is DCREG2 and 0x26 is DCREG3
00:05:39preglowperhaps it's due to all the other processor revs

00:08:07goldschlagerdoes anyone in here has x5? i just have a Q
00:08:22juliuslinuxstb, aaa ok, I see now what you mean, I will try to send all the tree commands, just to be sure :) anyway, where should I add this commands? (I did a cygwin devel platform on my win box, so I can recompile rocbox, I already did for some changes for my theme, but anyway, is there a .c file which handles this things in rockbox source?) (ps Thanks for your greate help, I really apreciate it!!!)
00:08:31linuxstbjulius: I'm not sure where this should be added into Rockbox. You could just add them to the end of i2c_init() in firmware/drivers/i2c-pp5020.c for testing.
00:08:32Bagdergoldschlager: ask and you'll find out
00:09:12goldschlagerok.. so after i turn off my unit my screen goes dark green..

00:10:48goldschlagerno.. i asked on the forums someone told me its VGA controller chip..
00:11:07goldschlagerbut can it be firmware?
00:11:49BagderI don't even understand your first question
00:12:39goldschlagerhm.. my question was whats the problem?
00:12:53Bagderand what exactly is the problem?
00:13:43goldschlagerlike after i turn of my x5 instead of black my screen goes dark green
00:14:10goldschlagerand you can see vertical lines.. light green
00:14:12Bagderyou mean it actually did turn green forever
00:14:26goldschlagerno.. it works normally
00:14:41goldschlagerbut only when i turn it off

00:45:50thesonorkno error-output or anything
00:46:17midkaythesonork, low battery possibly?

00:53:28midkaysounds like it should be working, yeah.
00:53:40thesonorkwhat about i try that daily build stuff?
00:54:51midkaywhat are you trying as it is? CVS build?
00:54:59thesonorkya
00:55:13midkayyou could give it a try, no reason the cvs one shouldn't work though.
00:55:52thesonorksame stuff
00:56:15linuxstbthesonork: one or two other people have reported similar problems with their 5g/video ipods - it seems that in a tiny number of cases (you are #3), Rockbox is mis-detecting USB, and always giving a false positive.
00:56:17midkaystill doesn't work, you mean?
00:56:51thesonorkya thats ewhat i mean
00:57:21thesonorkthats bad man
00:57:28thesonorkim just using a damned mini ipod ^^
00:57:42thesonorkany patch available or any suggestions to do?
00:58:06linuxstbI could easily make a patch for you (to disable USB detection) if you were able to compile Rockbox yourself.
00:58:19thesonorkusing make ?

00:58:40thesonorksure
00:58:51midkayi could compile it if you aren't set up to do it and if linuxstb doesn't want to.. just started VMware. :)
00:59:18thesonorkthat sounds great mates
00:59:22linuxstbThen it's almost as simple as just running make. You need to install a gcc cross-compiler.
00:59:33thesonorklinuxstb, if u could do that patch, would be really glad
00:59:55linuxstbmidkay: I don't have a clean source tree handy, so please go ahead and build it.
01:00
01:00:51midkaylinuxstb, sure.
01:01:00linuxstbJust edit the usb_detect() function in firmware/usb.c to always return false.
01:01:16thesonorkbuttt
01:01:37thesonorkdoes that mean the usb-detection isnt working? so, how to apply songs and stuff?
01:02:10linuxstbIf you want to enter USB mode, you just need to manually reboot - either into the Apple firmware, or into the emergency disk mode. All Rockbox does on USB detect is to reboot into the emergency disk mode anyway.
01:02:30thesonorkalright
01:02:32midkaylinuxstb, got it. by the way, not sure where it would go, but an ata_sleep before rebooting to disk mode for iPods would be nice. cutting power to the drive like that probably isn't very healthy. :)
01:02:33linuxstb(which is why you are getting the constant reboot cycles)
01:03:19linuxstbmidkay: We should do a proper shutdown - saving settings etc.
01:03:45midkaylinuxstb, even better.. should be very simple but i'm not sure where that's handled.

01:05:26linuxstbNo, I'm not sure either.
01:05:48Presenceaah, THATS the difference between "disk modes" from apple's vs rockbox's: Rockbox's is the "emergency" disc mode.
01:05:50Presencehah.
01:06:05linuxstbThat's what I call it anyway... But yes, there are two different disk modes.
01:06:20midkayPresence, yes, that's hilarious. :)
01:06:20linuxstbBoth of them are "Apple's" though.
01:06:35amiconnNow, let's see what happens...

02:14:28Mikachubut what?
02:14:38luckzdoes it always assume UTF?
02:14:47Mikachui'm not sure you understand your question
02:15:13luckzokay. I have a m3u file created with foobar pointing at file names using umlauts.
02:15:19luckzrockbox cant play those.
02:15:26luckzat least not using that playlist.
02:15:29luckz13:18:27 < preglow> luckz: 2) that's probably a codepage issue. rockbox might think your m3u files are utf-8 encoded

02:16:59biffheroze: there you go, I have cursed you.
02:17:17biffheroze: the bash manpage seems long. working my way through it now.
02:18:39Mikachubiffhero: try {a..z}*
02:18:46Mikachuit will complain about no such file, but it should work anyway
02:18:57zewell i found the shell option 'nocaseglob'
02:19:03zebut unsetting it doesn't seem to help
02:19:35zeactually it seems to be off by default
02:19:39zeif it were on, that'd explain it
02:19:45zebut its not on here and yet my bash still does that
02:20:09Mikachu$ ls [a]*
02:20:09Mikachua
02:20:12Mikachu$ ls [a-a]*
02:20:12Mikachua
02:20:14zeit doesn't seem to be respecting it
02:20:14Mikachu$ ls [a-b]*
02:20:14Mikachua A b
02:20:19Mikachui think i have realized the issue
02:20:33MikachuLC_ALL=C
02:20:36Mikachu$ ls [a-b]*
02:20:36Mikachua b
02:20:45Mikachuit simply uses the locale collation order
02:21:11Mikachuin C, a-z comes before A-Z, but in english, it's aAbBcC...
02:21:24Mikachubiffhero: ^
02:21:32zeah damn locale crap
02:21:49zeLC_COLLATE seems like the more appropriate one, but i dunno
02:21:52Mikachui don't feel matching should depend on locale
02:21:58MikachuLC_ALL overrides everything
02:22:02zeand/or LC_CTYPE
02:22:16zeyeah maybe LC_ALL is best
02:22:17zeheh
02:22:40Mikachuyou could also do [abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz]*
02:22:44Mikachuonly takes 3 seconds to write
02:22:58zeand yeah i didn't think matching was locale-specific
02:23:13zethough i gotta say in my experience, A-Z always came before a-z
02:23:13zeheh
02:23:16Mikachuit's just the expansion of a-z that is locale-specific, in bash
02:23:34Mikachuthe actual matching is not locale specific :)
02:23:53biffhero'ls {a..z}*' was interesting, it gave me errors for everyone I didn't have.
02:24:13zeah yes A-Z does come before a-z in LC_ALL=C
02:24:13zeheh
02:24:15biffheromy nocaseglob was the same as yours.
02:24:44zeheh what a bunch of crap
02:24:45ze:p
02:25:08Mikachubiffhero: {} is a generator, [] is a matcher
02:25:23biffheroMikachu: abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz.... 3 seconds.... how lazy do you think I am? I will spend 30 minutes figuring it out, instead of 30 seconds doing the other 5 times.
02:25:25zenocaseglob and locale-specific expansion/sorting both together seems screwy
02:25:41Mikachubiffhero: that was sort of a joke :)
02:25:45zebiffhero: indeed
02:26:01biffheroexport LC_COLLATE=C did it
02:26:08zei've many times spent an hour figuring out the 3 second way to do something that'd other wise take 10 seconds
02:26:24zejust on principle, its better to know those things
02:26:31zeespecially if you need to do it several times in a row
02:26:43zelearning is less tedious than the manual methods
02:26:46zeeven if it takes longer
02:26:48Presencemakes yah more useful on IRC, too.
02:27:17zeand yeah the bash man page is like entering some underground labyrinth

02:42:38Paul_The_NerdIt's supposed to be pretty powerful
02:43:05sharpei've never used any syncronization software...
02:43:07mrsyncdoes it have spyware? the websit looks a little iffy

02:46:32mrsynchmmm well i cannot get my rockbox firmware to show my album art
02:46:45mrsyncbut i see album art on amorok
02:46:46TeaSeaThere's a plugin for amarok which will generate cover.bmps for all the albums in your collection, but that's about it.
02:46:53mrsyncahh
02:46:58TeaSeamrsync: Ah. Album art hasn't been implemented except via a patch.

02:47:32Paul_The_NerdI think they should keep making Rockbox better.
02:47:37TeaSeaI think so also!
02:47:46TeaSeaThere's far too many itunes replacements out there anyway.
02:47:48mrsyncim still getting used to it
02:47:56mrsynci was trying to shut it off today lol
02:47:57Paul_The_NerdEspecially since I don't think *any* of them like to use their devices in a non UMS way anyway
02:48:05mrsynci spend like 3 min trying to find out how to shut off my ipod
02:48:11Paul_The_NerdIt's in the FAQ
02:48:13Paul_The_NerdAnd the Manual.
02:48:13Hotfusionlol
02:48:19mrsynci dont RTFM
02:48:24Hotfusionyeah mp3 player manuals don't seem to be the best
02:48:38Paul_The_NerdHotfusion: Not the iPod manual. The Rockbox manual.
02:48:40mrsyncthings should be user intuitive enough to just press shit lol
02:48:57Hotfusionrockbox manual is much better than most manuals
02:48:58Paul_The_NerdYeah, well the iPod doesn't have a button labelled 'power'
02:49:00mrsynci figured it out... so it must be ok
02:49:18mrsynci like how you pause and the sound fades
02:49:21mrsyncthere some nice touches
02:49:30Mikachumrsync: it took you 3 minutes to find out it's the same button as in the apple firmware?
02:49:36Hotfusionyou'd think apple would print power on it. lol.
02:49:44mrsynci just am having a hard time when i dont see 'artists' 'albums' videos' etc
02:49:49MikachuHotfusion: thye should print Power on the play button?
02:50:00Mikachumrsync: maybe you should read the manual after all

02:51:11mrsynchow do you guys have your stuff arranged im curious? do you listen to podcasts a lot
02:51:15HotfusionI need to see if my player has a dual boot option for rockbox and iaudio x5 firm
02:51:21mrsyncdo you use a sep synching tool for podcasts
02:51:40Mikachui have a nano so i don't "sync"
02:54:22Paul_The_NerdHotfusion: I don't believe the iAudios dual boot yet.
02:54:31Paul_The_NerdI don't do podcasts.
02:54:52mrsynci love them. thats all i listen to i dont believe in radio anymore

03:04:45v3l0ctit is there

03:05:02Paul_The_Nerdv3l0ct: You compiled ipod_fw.c from the tools folder?
03:05:12Paul_The_NerdInteliWasp: With what build of rockbox?
03:05:13lostlogicbiffhero: pfft, there are 30 other devs who could also pick up on the playback engine (I'd pray for them to do so if I was a religious man)
03:05:29biffherov3l0ct: are you running ./ipod_fw ?
03:05:50Paul_The_NerdTeaSea: The main problem isn't that it doesn't charge, but that it seems to draw more power than *some* USB controllers want to give it for some reason. For example, my Nano charges perfectly fine.
03:05:52v3l0ctPaul_The_Nerd, I created a folder named rockbox in my desktop (using linux) and copies ipod_fw.c and the two addition files

03:09:07Paul_The_NerdThat's the normal upgrade process, but for the purpose of bug reporting, it'd be much appreciated if you installed it completely cleanly (delete the old rockbox.ipod and .rockbox folders, and reset settings while booting for the first time) to make sure that it's a clean test.

03:31:15Mikachuv3l0ct: are you sure it's a windows ipod?
03:31:32v3l0ctIpod was used on a windows machine but i bought it as a refurbished unit from Apple
03:31:39biffherov3l0ct: you got me. your fdisk output shows /dev/sdc2 * 6 497 3951990 b W95 FAT32
03:31:42v3l0ctmaybe that's the issue
03:32:02v3l0ctbiffhero, i know
03:32:02Mikachuah, you already checked that, sorry
03:32:12Mikachumaybe they are crazy and have it as hfs+ anyway
03:32:26biffheroyeah, maybe that's the issue. maybe even though the partition table lists it as a vfat, the ipod software makes no difference, and mounts both ways. can he mount hfs+ under linux?
03:32:31v3l0cti did get some HFS+ when i did the original dmesg
03:33:03Mikachuif you boot apple firmware, does it say windows or mac?

08:39:17 Quit Arrogant ("Leaving")
08:39:54RoC_MMfast forward is quite needed
08:40:55RoC_MMI've tried a couple April builds on my 4G, but usually these have bugs, or at least they did until the 15th when I stopped trying them...I'm currently running a March 30 build....do you remember how stable the end of March builds were?
08:41:01Galoiswell I just fast forwarded/rewinded an ogg file without trouble
08:41:36Galoisvoice menu users swear by the march 23 build, iirc
08:41:43RoC_MMAny rough edges on the standard play/seek/bookmark/crossfade/browse sort of operations?
08:42:01RoC_MMOK.
08:42:09Galoisug you want me to test bookmark/crossfade???
08:42:29RoC_MMBookmark not important
08:42:40RoC_MMIt would be helpful to know if crossfade works
08:42:44RoC_MMand what your build ID is
08:43:07Galoisthe bookmark looks broken
08:43:19RoC_MMSince Rockbox hasn't been released for the iPod target yet, I'm trying to find a "known good" build.
08:43:21Galoisif you select a bookmark it starts from the beginning of the file
08:44:50Galoishm I just crashed it by selecting a song with crossfade on
08:45:01Galoiswell, crashed the UI at least, the music is still playing
08:45:39Galoisthe last known good daily for me was april 6, I think
08:45:59RoC_MMHow certain?
08:46:11RoC_MMThanks for the help :-)
08:46:25GaloisI'm completely certain of the date, I'm not certain how good the build is :P
08:46:35Galoisbecause I normally don't use crossfade, or voice menus, or even seeking
08:47:50RoC_MMI suppose a end of March build might work if APril 6 does not... it was right before the freeze and code churn
08:48:11GaloisI thought a freeze was supposed to prevent code churn?
08:48:23RoC_MMDoesn't look like it from here.
08:48:35RoC_MMbut yes

09:03:50linuxstbInteresting side-effect of the distributed build system that someone mentioned on the forums - builds are now made in random time zones, so the file timestamps and the version info depends on the build server...
09:04:18linuxstbMaybe an "export TZ=Europe/Stockholm" in the build scripts could be useful.

09:06:31linuxstbIt's obviously not a huge problem, but if it can be fixed easily, then why not?
09:07:00JdGordonwould that change the timezone just for hte script?? coz if not it would be painful
09:07:04linuxstbAt least the date/time in the version info is useful when people report bugs.
09:07:16linuxstbJdGordon: Yes, it just sets the timezone for that script.

09:28:55amiconnB4gder: Did you see linuxstb's findings regarding distributed builds & timestamps?
09:29:10B4gderI replied to it just now in the forum
09:29:26B4gderthat timestamp is the one displayed within Rockbox, isn
09:29:30B4gder't it?
09:29:58B4gderslightly amusing I think ;-)
09:31:00amiconnIt is
09:31:14B4gderwe need to switch to UTC time
09:31:22amiconn(and also the timestamps of the files)
09:31:57amiconnEither UTC, or a suggested by linuxstb, Europe/Stockholm
09:32:16B4gderI think using Europe/Stockholm is a lot trickier
09:32:33amiconnwhy?
09:32:35B4gderand possibly more confusing to users
09:32:40linuxstbB4gder: Isn't it as simple as "export TZ=Europe/Stockholm" ?
09:32:41amiconnCheck the log starting 09:05
09:33:07B4gderright not trickier really, as you can just pass on the timezone in the time string
09:34:14linuxstbThe website seems to use GMT for timestamps, so the build system should probably do the same.
09:34:30B4gderwe try to use GMT all over
09:34:42B4gderin the CVS build table too etc

10:07:54linuxstbmyth1: The codec itself can be up to 512KB (code and data), plus there is a 512KB malloc buffer, but we want to get rid of that malloc buffer.
10:08:08linuxstbIf you need more memory than that, you will somehow need to use the audio buffer.
10:08:24linuxstbBut your codec will be the first to do it.
10:09:21myth1how can I use the audio buffer for this?
10:09:46linuxstbSomeone will need to invent a way, and implement it.
10:10:01myth1Currently I have the mod codec with 512kbyte and this not very much. I'm thinking about doing XM, but 512kb with xm would be far too less
10:10:13linuxstbWhat do you need the memory for? Is it to hold the mod file, or for working memory?
10:10:32myth1ok, then this is my official request: Someone please invent a way for more memory and I will do a working xm player
10:10:37myth1I need it for the samples
10:10:44myth1and for the pattern data of course
10:10:51linuxstbWhere do these come from?
10:11:00myth1the samples come from the file
10:11:06crwlwouldn't it be easier to get DUMB working than to write your own XM player (and later perhaps IT, which is even more difficult...) :)
10:11:10linuxstbIn which case, they are already in RAM in the audio buffer.
10:11:25linuxstb(assuming the whole file is buffered)
10:11:37myth1mmh, this is an interesting idea
10:11:54myth1doing an own xm player is no big deal, it works on my intel machine, I just have to port it
10:12:07myth1same as for the mod player which now works quite nice
10:12:26linuxstbYou should try and avoid copying the contents of the audio buffer to your own buffer if you can.
10:13:14myth1how can I directly access the audio buffer?
10:13:49myth1lets say I want a pointer to the complete 1MB file, how do I get it?
10:14:50linuxstbYou use the ci->request_buffer() function to get a pointer to your file. But you may have to call this twice if the file is at the wraparound point in the audio buffer (it's a ring buffer).
10:15:18linuxstbBut calling it twice won't work....
10:16:23myth1so what will work?
10:16:29linuxstbSo I think we either need to make sure that .mod files are always stored in a contiguous block of RAM in the audio buffer, or add a new API function which will potentially return two pointers.
10:17:01 Quit lostlogic (Read error: 110 (Connection timed out))
10:17:22myth1two pointers would slow down the mixing-routine, i would not recomend this. a flat buffer is highly recommended
10:18:12myth1if you could make sure .mod files are always stored in a contiguous block, i can continue working on the tracker routines
10:19:56linuxstbI'm not sure if storing some files as a contiguous block is desirable behaviour though. I'm curious to know what others think.

10:20:28B4gderI figure there will be some codecs that would prefer that
10:21:12B4gderbut I'm not the man to judge the impact
10:21:39myth1if this is only for some files the case impact shouldn't be too large

10:22:04B4gderwell, it will require some new intelligence in the music data loader system
10:22:07linuxstbThe main impact IMO is how much this would complicate the buffering code. But I don't think the RAM impact will be that great.
10:22:33B4gder"oh this type of music needs to be loaded into one chunk so we need to take these actions..."
10:23:11B4gderfun like when you want to load N megabytes into a single chunk and there's only N-1 available
10:23:27B4gderand it is at the end of ram
10:23:44linuxstbmyth1: If I was you, I would continue developing the codec, and assume that your mod file is in a contiguous block. So you can just return an error if ci->request_buffer() doesn't give you the entire file.
10:24:50linuxstbBut lostlogic or Slasheri are probably the people to judge the impact of this change.
10:27:09myth1if I implement the codec with ci->request_buffer() and assume i get the whole mod file I guess some modules will randomly not play, is this correct?
10:27:24myth1at least with the current behaviour when the ringbuffer is at its end
10:28:28linuxstbYes - that's the problem.
10:28:56myth1is there a chance to reload the file so it won't use the "ringpart" of the buffer?
10:29:12linuxstbI don't know if lostlogic is still around to comment - he said he can't do any more Rockbox coding until next Tuesday.
10:29:35linuxstbNo, I don't think so.
10:30:14myth1honestly, I do't want to publish a codec which randomly skips playing files ;)
10:31:11myth1so I guess for now the 512kb have to suffice until we have a solution
10:31:14linuxstbWell, it's easily documented. The only other solution which would work today would be to change it to be a plugin. You can then claim the entire audio buffer.
10:32:07JdGordondoes any1 know how to setup samba so my windows boxes can connect without any passwords?
10:32:48myth1if we can not find a solution for the ringbuffer I will think about coding a plugin, however direct playback is more what I would prefer
10:33:09B4gderJdGordon: you can set passwd level required somewhere, I don't remember exactly but I did it years ago
10:33:22linuxstbI'm sure we can find a solution - it's just that the people that know about that part of Rockbox aren't around at the moment.
10:33:44myth1should be open a task in the tracker for this?
10:34:04myth1so it doesn't get lost?
10:35:41linuxstbYou could try posting your problem to the rockbox-dev mailing list - lostlogic and Slasheri will hopefully see it there if they miss this conversation in the logs.
10:36:16myth1how can I join this mailing list?
10:36:17linuxstbIMO, it's more of an issue for discussion, than a bug/feature request.

11:13:57webguest50i need help please
11:14:16Paul_The_Ner1webguest50: Where are you experiencing problems?
11:14:38webguest50dealing with rockbox for my ipod photo
11:14:53Paul_The_Ner1I meant specifically, what problem have you encountered?
11:16:17webguest50i get a menu containing calenders, contacts, notes, photoes, and rockerbox, but no music, and when i hover over rockerbox then click the next button it flashes the word loading"and does nothing
11:16:56Paul_The_Ner1Okay, you're not seeing a menu
11:16:59Paul_The_Ner1You're seeing the filetree.
11:17:14Paul_The_Ner1That file is the "rockbox.ipod" you installed, but it's already running at this point which is why clicking on it does nothing.
11:17:22wehnOr maybe he's still in AppleOS?
11:17:27Paul_The_Ner1wehn: No, he's definitely not
11:17:54wehnsorry, not familiar with whats on the iPod HD.
11:17:55webguest50ok, how can i get to rockbox then?
11:18:03Paul_The_Ner1webguest50: I just told you, it's already running.
11:18:12Paul_The_Ner1webguest50: I'm guessing you mean "How do I play my music?"
11:18:18webguest50then how can i access my music ?
11:18:20webguest50yeah
11:18:50webguest50are you there man?
11:18:53Paul_The_Ner1webguest50: There are two solutions here. One is that you can use our database, TagCache, to index the music that iTunes has hidden on your iPod. The other is to clear the iTunes music off, copy over your files into a reasonable directory structure, and browse using the filetree.
11:19:07webguest50wow
11:19:11Paul_The_Ner1Which would you prefer?
11:19:30webguest50mmm
11:19:45Paul_The_Ner1The Database method will give you "Artist, Album, Genre, All Songs" like you're familiar with.
11:19:58Paul_The_Ner1The filetree lets you organize your music however you want, just by where you put it on the disk.
11:20:15webguest50cool then the second, man, thanks for being so helpful
11:20:17 Nick Paul_The_Ner1 is now known as Paul_The_Nerd (n=Paul_The@cpe-66-68-93-2.austin.res.rr.com)
11:20:48Paul_The_NerdWell in that case you simply want to use iTunes to remove the music from your iPod, then just copy the music over in disk mode wherever you want to place it. Just drag and drop MP3 files or folders to it.
11:21:08Paul_The_NerdWhen you're in Rockbox, you're actually seeing the layout of your disk, so you'll be able to browse into those folders, and load whole folders or individual songs to play.
11:21:09webguest50thanks man
11:21:34Paul_The_NerdIf you want to try the database, instructions are here: http://www.rockbox.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/TagCache it can be used alongside filetree mode as well.
11:26:13webguest50that's really good
11:26:15webguest50btw
11:26:25webguest50how to switch between rockbox and apple firmware?

11:29:14Paul_The_NerdTurn off Rockbox by holding play/pause.
11:29:29Paul_The_NerdWhen you press Menu to turn on your iPod, just hold it down instead of just tapping it.
11:29:50Paul_The_NerdOnce it says "Loading original firmware" you can let go of menu.

11:36:12crashdPaul_The_Nerd: it's a cvs build from yesterday with SID and the libmad patches
11:36:32crashdtbh, it might well have been fixed by one of brandon's commits from yesterday
11:36:38crashdonly, he's not here to hassle about it ;)
11:36:43Paul_The_NerdThere were a lot of commits yesterday yes.
11:36:49Paul_The_NerdAnd a bug like that has been reported before.
11:37:13Paul_The_NerdBut I don't think I've heard anyone mention it again in the last 24 hours, so I don't know if it's been fixed, or if they just haven't stumbled across it again yet.
11:37:37crashdwell, as i say, this is a cvs build+patches from yesterday
11:37:45crashdso it could be that the stuff that got commited fixed it
11:37:54Paul_The_Nerddwihno_: Oh, so you're just saying that Rockbox doesn't really work with *extremely* low battery, and you need to charge in Retail a bit first? That doesn't really surprise me, I think.
11:38:09dwihno_Paul_The_Nerd: Doesn't surprise me either...
11:38:29dwihno_Paul_The_Nerd: On the archos, rockbox won't play if the battery is beneath some treshold
11:38:52Paul_The_NerdHeh
11:39:05Paul_The_NerdThere's quite a bit of battery-related tuning Rockbox on Ipod needs.
11:39:54wehnI think rockbox on the H300 discharges deeper than the iriver software does.
11:40:25wehnIt'll boot into rockbox while iriver firmware refuses to boot.
11:42:19dwihno_Paul_The_Nerd: true, true
11:49:25PaulJamwehn: according to my observations the iriver firmware shuts down the device at ~3.65V , at this point rockbox shows 10-18% battery left
11:50:50 Join aziiz [0] (i=asysmala@myntti.helsinki.fi)
11:52:20wehnPaulJam: Didn't realise it was such a big difference. I wonder if rockbox goes below recomendend discharge depth?
11:54:46PaulJami could imagine that the original firmware shuts down earlier, because below 3.65V the display flickers at disk activity

12:18:45lostlogi1wehn: it's true that Lithium based batteries do not like to hold at full or empty for extended periods, deep discharge and full charge do not generally do Bad Things (TM) to the battery though unless the battery is held at that charge level afterwards (or worse allowed to self discharge lower).

12:21:40lostlogi1B4gder: any idea how we might get UTC timestamps from all build servers? ntp might be a reasonable requirement, although the exact parameters to require are hard to determine (My server's clock is currently within 2ms of 4 stratum 2 servers, but I may be more obsessive than most)
12:22:00 Join Poka64 [0] (i=Poka64@hd5e241c0.gavlegardarna.gavle.to)
12:22:22B4gderwell, firstly we could make the build just use UTC times for the time stamp
12:22:29B4gderinstead of local time as it does now
12:22:59B4gderif we wanted the times to be _exact_ the same on all builds we could use a time stamp passed on from the build server
12:23:09 Quit ark_112 ("CGI:IRC (Ping timeout)")
12:23:11B4gderI mean from the master
12:23:24B4gderit already kind of passes on the timestamp
12:23:31B4gderas it is used for the cvs update command
12:23:43B4gderto make sure all servers update to the exact same state
12:23:48wehnlostlogi1: I think what the article (and others I read) said was battery lifespan depended on number and depth of discharges
12:24:26wehnlostlogi1: ie x full discharges or 2x half discharges = battery lifespan
12:24:44wehnso more frequent less deep charges are better
12:24:55lostlogi1I think one of two things makes sense: if we're not going to care about precision, then we should just use the CVS timestamp as the build's stamp, or if we want to precisely know when the actual build happened then we should require NTP and use UTC timestamps from the servers.
12:24:58wehnBut that said, I'm happy with rockboxes current discharge cutoff
12:25:12Paul_The_NerdIt's theoretically possible that two *different* builds could have the same time stamp with just UTC if a slow server's a few minutes off in one way, a fast one in the other, and they're two builds in a row. That's probably a bad thing.
12:26:03wehnPaul_The_Nerd: perhaps NTP would help there.
12:26:07Paul_The_NerdIt would.
12:26:09lostlogi1wehn: If I understand correctly, a lithium ion battery constantly cycled in the 40-80% charge range will last push a lot more useable current out it's leads than one constantly cycled 0-100%

12:26:56Paul_The_NerdI vote for the timestamp though, since you've already got it around and since it's then also reflects exactly which CVS co a user could use to get the same sources as the build, right?
12:26:56B4gdersince the builds are started by the master, it really can't have the same time stamp on two builds

13:32:06webguest65vesibility is good, now to find a coder :)
13:32:31webguest65feasibility even
13:32:36Paul_The_NerdWhy do you need actual voltage though?
13:32:52amiconnPaul_The_Nerd: It shouldn't. In fact, the replacement shouldn't have any effect if there were no gcc bug
13:33:19webguest65well, I do alot of file work without the charger, so thought it would be nice to know the status of the battery whilst connected to a pc
13:33:22wehnamicon: ok. hadn't heard that before. Not really a practical charge pattern though.
13:33:28Paul_The_Nerdamiconn: Okay. It's just that people are reporting that the iPod 4G freezes vanished, and it's either that or playback engine changes.
13:33:42amiconnPaul_The_Nerd: These changes were all archos only
13:33:45Paul_The_Nerdwebguest65: "Battery status" is different than voltage though. A % full should be valid for status.
13:34:03webguest65mea culpa, meant battery voltage
13:34:22webguest65battery voltage is way more meaningfull than %
13:34:35amiconnThe bug is that a #pragma interrupt turns _all_ subsequent functions into interrupt handlers instead of just the next one with sh-elf-gcc 3.4.x and any optimisation level > 1
13:34:42Paul_The_Nerdwebguest65: How so if it's just while you're using the unit as an external HD?
13:34:57_FireFly_webguest65: not really if you don*t know the with which voltage the battery is empty

13:35:07amiconnpreglow: around?
13:35:08Paul_The_Nerdamiconn: Aaah, ick. Well, I guess the playback engine overhaul is what fixed the cpu scaling bugs, at least supposedly.
13:35:16webguest653.3 vollts is disc cutoff no?
13:35:38webguest65that means more to me than one bar
13:35:44Paul_The_NerdOne bar?

13:35:57_FireFly_Paul_The_Nerd: or graphical
13:36:03_FireFly_depending on the setting
13:36:07Paul_The_NerdWell, yeah, but it can be shown as a percent
13:36:07webguest65I prefer voltage :)
13:36:16_FireFly_webguest65: then code it ;)
13:36:25webguest65but ofcourse

13:45:08linuxstb_Paul_The_Nerd: I never believed the CPU scaling was the cause of the reported crashes. Maybe it was something like a race condition in the playback code which only happened when the CPU was running at 30MHz, so disabling CPU scaling hid that problem.
13:45:14romanos_melodosjust a final one... if i'm using both ipl and rockbox, does that affects rockbox perfomance?
13:47:11Paul_The_Nerdlinuxstb_: Well, I just called it the "cpu scaling problem" since that's what made it apparent. :)
13:47:26Paul_The_Nerdromanos_melodos: It shouldn't, unless there's something wrong.
13:49:07wehnB4gder: Makes me laugh everytime I think of it. I like the 5th one on that page too.
13:49:40B4gderyeps, but it seems he might be proven wrong soon
13:49:49 Quit quobl_ (Remote closed the connection)
13:49:56romanos_melodoswell basically, i haven't installed ipl yet but it's on my future plans. The main reason is the video playback feature.
13:50:20romanos_melodosany chance for including the ipl video playback in the next rockbox release?
13:50:27B4gderis uncompressed video really that cool?
13:50:33romanos_melodosno
13:50:54B4gderI mean, it would probably be rather easy to support that in Rockbox too
13:50:57romanos_melodosi just wanna test it..
13:51:14Paul_The_Nerdromanos_melodos: The video feature they use is actually pretty miserable if you put it in context. If Rockbox were to do video in the future, my hope is that we'd do it quite a bit more impressively. :) But that's not something to expect for a *long* time if ever.
13:51:43romanos_melodosis it that difficult paul_the_nerd?
13:51:58linuxstb_Or we just wait for IPL to release their next video player (I know a few people are working on things) and steal that.
13:52:04romanos_melodosi mean , they made it for uncompressed..
13:52:22B4gderlinuxstb_: a good plan! ;-)
13:52:26romanos_melodosthey just have to put the damn codecs in it
13:52:28romanos_melodoslol
13:52:37Paul_The_Nerdromanos_melodos: Never ask if it's really that hard. If *you* can't do it, by definition it's "that hard" at least. :)
13:53:14Paul_The_NerdI've found that it's basically impossible to judge how hard something is once it's at the point where it's "too hard for me to do"
13:53:21romanos_melodosyeah.. i'm sure they've already done much..
13:53:32romanos_melodosi mean , i can play doom on my nano..
13:53:33romanos_melodoslol
13:53:47linuxstb_romanos_melodos: The ipods currently struggle to decode some audio files in realtime, so imagine what would happen if you tried to decode audio and video at the same time.
13:53:52romanos_melodosso that made me a little bit greedy
13:55:08romanos_melodosis that clearly a matter of ipod's hardware?
13:55:25romanos_melodosi mean cpu, ram etc...
13:56:25linuxstb_Yes, and how efficient the codecs are, and how well they've been optimised.
13:57:21linuxstb_Also, for the 4G Photo/Color and 5G ipods, the LCD updates are very slow.
13:57:56romanos_melodosis nano a 4G?
13:58:23Paul_The_NerdNo.
13:58:41romanos_melodoswhat is it then?
13:58:45Paul_The_NerdIt's the Nano.

14:16:08linuxstb_No - I just asked if you had tested them on ARM. I thought there might be an issue because the bit-reading functions had been changed to use 32-bit reads.

14:17:47t0mascome on..
14:17:53amiconnThe real bug is in the jumptable size calculation
14:18:26amiconnI'm 99% sure, only have to find the place where the jumptable size is calculated

14:19:38B4gderand the build server info hardly gets us more servers anymore
14:19:38t0masah, you mean that part
14:20:05B4gderbut sure, it can still be mentioned
14:20:10amiconnt0mas: I'm not sure whether additional build servers are that useful.
14:20:25B4gdera larger amount of new servers will make a difference
14:20:28t0masme neither, but I think we're getting short in bandwidth soon
14:20:32B4gderonly a few will hardly be noticable
14:20:33amiconnIt seems there's a saturation effect in the build times, due to ccache and the handout of buiöds
14:20:42amiconn*builds
14:21:00B4gderI don't think we'll have a bandwidth problem
14:21:09B4gderthe problem we have is the slowest servers
14:21:10amiconnThe more build servers, the less likely it is for a specific build server to get the same build twice in a row
14:21:27amiconn...and that makes ccache less efficient
14:21:35B4gderand the slowest servers that get a second build very late in the game and that build takes a long time
14:21:52B4gderamiconn: ccache by default fits all builds in the cache
14:22:14tucozI see that a file in the manual is marked as DOS in emacs. How do I convert this (from within emacs) to unix?
14:22:26amiconnB4gder: yeah, but ccache doesn't help if a source file needs to be recompiled due to changes
14:22:48B4gderamiconn: right, but then how is it a ccache issue?
14:23:02amiconn...and more build servers extend the period for each build server in which this recompilation will hurt the build time
14:23:34amiconnB4gder: I didn't say it's a ccache _issue_
14:23:50B4gderyou said you could make it less efficient somehow
14:23:53B4gderand I don't see how
14:23:57amiconnI said the build distribution among more build servers makes ccache less efficient
14:24:09B4gderonly if the cache isn't big enough, right?
14:24:13amiconnnope
14:24:46B4gderoh, you mean subsequent builds would be faster if done on the same server as the last lap
14:24:56amiconnyes
14:25:02linuxstb_Yes, and with more servers, that is less likely to happen.
14:25:14amiconnIf one server does all the builds, a big change (e.g. in a .h file) makes it refill ccache completely, and the next round will be fast again for all builds
14:25:14B4gderI think that's a very minor penalty
14:25:24wehntucoz: don't know about emacs, but maybe: sed 's/.$//' filename > converted
14:25:28B4gderoverall I mean
14:25:29amiconnIt's clearly visible in the build stats
14:25:42tucozwehn, thanks. I ran dos2unix on the file :)
14:26:22B4gderyes its visible, but it isn't very frequent
14:26:35B4gderis it?
14:26:46amiconnMy impression is that it is quite frequent
14:27:39amiconnWould it be possible to define some kind of automatic build preference?
14:28:13amiconnI.e., make it more likely that a server gets a certain build in the next round if it did this build in the current round
14:29:02B4gderit could be a bit hairy to get it right
14:30:40B4gderI think we could also benefit from handing out the slowest builds first
14:30:58B4gderto top up with smaller and smaller
14:31:27amiconnYeah, swcodec target & sim first, then hwcodec, bootloaders last
14:31:31B4gderyes
14:36:24ravonWhere can I read up on char -> ushort sound conversions?
14:40:49linuxstb_You mean "signed char" to "unsigned short" ?
14:41:00linuxstb_Or unsigned char...
14:41:10ravonSigned char
14:41:21ravonI have my own way, but the sound gets all fuzzy
14:48:01preglowamiconn: no clues on what the real problem is, then?
14:48:31amiconnpreglow: [14:17:41] <amiconn> I'm 99% sure, only have to find the place where the jumptable size is calculated
14:48:44preglowrightieo
14:49:05amiconnAll SH1 insns are 16bit, so jumptable must have even size
14:49:09 Join Siku [0] (n=Siku@f303b.w3.tontut.fi)
14:49:28ZagorB4gder: a simple server speed toplist could be done (with statistics) and start with both the big jobs and the big servers
14:49:33amiconnByte sized jumptables need a padding byte if the number of cases is uneven
14:49:34 Quit wehn (Read error: 113 (No route to host))
14:50:26amiconnIn the case where the bug hit us, there were 5 cases, and the offset to the last one was 127, since the padding isn't considered in the table size decision
14:50:40B4gderZagor: yes but basing on collected data like that can be a bit cumbersome to work with
14:50:50amiconnThe padding in the insn output stage then bumped the offset to 128 - boom
14:50:55B4gderZagor: just sorting the builds in size-order from what we know is a lot easier
14:51:56ZagorB4gder: yes, but simply storing the build times in a file shouldn't be very hard.
14:52:00amiconnThe easy fix is reducing the maximum allowed distance for byte-sized table by 1. I tested it, it works
14:52:13amiconnBut the proper fix would be to fix the table size calculation...
14:52:33B4gderZagor: no, just that I don't think we'll gain a lot
14:53:17Zagorperhaps not
14:53:58B4gderI mean, the order of the builds would be rather static given enough time

15:09:26ravonOh speaking of that. Will those patches be a part of the main tree after 3.0?
15:10:42Paul_The_NerdDpK|Cronic: They must be applied to the source code, and then rockbox must be compiled. It's described in the wiki.
15:11:20Paul_The_Nerdravon: The album art patch isn't being included because it doesn't load album art into memory with songs the way it's been decided would be optimal.
15:12:19pregloware anyone looking at what wpses we should bundle?
15:13:07Paul_The_NerdHas anyone actually submitted any WPSes through the proper process recently?
15:13:28B4gderI think we've hesitated to accept any
15:13:54B4gderI'd rather have us arrange them in a new way

15:16:55ravonDpK|Cronic: You need to patch the sources before you build them.
15:16:57Paul_The_NerdDpK|Cronic: No, I told you they have to be applied to the source code, and compiled. See http://www.rockbox.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/WorkingWithPatches and http://www.rockbox.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/SimpleGuideToCompiling
15:17:25linuxstb_Paul_The_Nerd: The album art patch seems much better now - it doesn't waste RAM, but it causes an extra disk spinup just before each track change, and the album art is loaded into the WPS image buffer.
15:17:48linuxstb_But this also only happens if the image is different to the previous one.
15:17:48Paul_The_NerdB4gder: A non-wiki site, where people submit them, the maintainer reviews the WPS to make sure it handles things properly (nothing extra in the .cfg, it explicitly sets font and background colors if that is required for the theme to work well, etc)?
15:18:03B4gderyes
15:18:13B4gderwith previews, sizes, zips to download, all targets
15:18:24B4gderand user rating
15:18:29Paul_The_Nerdlinuxstb_: Well, I understand that lostlogic wants to make metadata on buffer work properly, which would probably then be ideal for integrating the album art into, right?
15:18:30JdGordonPaul_The_Nerd: that could be done with a script...

15:50:01lostlogicPaul_The_Nerd: yeah, I saw that... and I liked your next test request.
15:50:42Paul_The_Nerdlostlogic: I never realized how boring I was. I actually turn my player on and off by hand, and listen to music in either a sequential or shuffled playlist.
15:51:10lostlogicPaul_The_Nerd: I know... me too... which both work fine

17:38:48thesonorkbut my ipod INSTANTLY reboots after sleeping
17:39:04thesonorkso no effect and another waste of power
17:39:40preglowhm? your ipod instantly reboots when it turns itself off? in rockbox?
17:39:54thesonorkyap
17:39:59preglowwhy?
17:40:08thesonorki dont know
17:40:11preglowmine sure as hell stays off when it turns itself off
17:40:17preglowyou got anything connected to the expansion port?
17:40:29thesonorkno nothing, i just tried it in the kitchen
17:40:52thesonorkgot that sleep timer to 1min, and waited, it turned off and booted again
17:41:09thesonorkso i turned that sleeptimer off

17:42:52linuxstbWhat happens if you shutdown Rockbox manually - i.e. press and hold the play/pause button for a few seconds.

17:44:59thesonorkwasn_'t u the one patching my rockbox last night? caused to that usb stuff?
17:45:07thesonork@ linuxstb
17:45:08linuxstbYes.
17:45:16thesonorksee ^^
17:45:22linuxstbmidkay actually did the patch for you though.
17:45:52linuxstbYou seem to have the only ipod mini in the world where the Rockbox USB detection gives a false positive...
17:45:57thesonorkknow that, just wanted to recover the visions in my head
17:46:42dprocan anyone enlighten me again on how to use dd instead of ipod_fw ... my x-dev environment now moved to my freeBSD server and my ipod is connected to my powerbook with only a linux live cd due to a hd failure ...
17:46:44thesonorkI am taking this as a complement
17:46:47thesonork;)
17:47:29dprodamn ... I can't even crosscompile pcfdisk .. maybe parted will do the job ...
17:47:38linuxstbdpro: Yes. Just use "dd if=/dev/sda1 of=bootpartition.bin" to read the firmware partition, and "dd if=rockboot.bin of=/dev/sda1" to write the modified version with the bootloader at the end.
17:47:50linuxstb(replacing /dev/sda with the device assigned to your ipod)
17:48:21linuxstbYou did say you were running Linux?
17:49:00dprolinuxstb: yup
17:49:02thesonorka linux live cd
17:49:18dprowell ... linux on the powerbook and freebsd on the box to compile rockbox ...
17:49:20 Quit PaulJam (Read error: 110 (Connection timed out))
17:49:57linuxstbIt's just that Linux is the only OS that will give you direct access to the first partition. Cygwin and Mac OS X will hide it from you.
17:50:07linuxstb(because it's marked as type 0 - empty).
17:50:33dproah ok, no that shouldn't be a problem then
17:50:36linuxstbThat's why diskdump and ipodpatcher are needed - they access the partition via the whole-disk device.
17:50:56linuxstbThere is an IpodInstallationFromLinux wiki page...
17:51:39 Quit solexx_ (Read error: 110 (Connection timed out))
17:52:43dprobut that also uses ipod_fw, I only need it to merge bootloader and original firmware to make my shiny new video triple boot, but I can do that on the server and then dd it from the laptop (not exactly practical /me knows)
17:53:28*dpro wanders if the live cd supports fuse via ssh that would make all this a little more convenient
17:54:18dprohopefully a friend will give me an unused 2.5" hd tonight so I can start kind of working again tomorrow or so
17:55:05Slasheripreglow: for me, it's enough just to disconnect the cable once and peakmeter dies. However, frequency still updates correctly even after this
17:55:22dprobut if it's just for the partitioning requiring pcfdisk I might be able to find another linux box for those 5 minutes
17:55:34linuxstbSo you're installing IPL as well?
17:55:48*dpro isn't sure if parted likes an empty partition type ...
17:55:52dprolinuxstb: yes
17:56:04linuxstbNo, I think I've read that parted chokes on the empty partition.
17:56:07Mikachulinuxstb: what if you change it to non-empty while doing stuff to it?
17:56:23linuxstbI've never tried, but I can't see why that wouldn't work.

18:54:11juliusso this is greate, but I tested my itrip with it and it's still not working
18:54:22juliusthan I made some test and found out
18:54:35juliusthat there are two pins which are required by the itrip
18:54:39juliuspin 11 and 17

20:05:09linuxstbThere's a feature freeze...
20:05:20romanos_melodos?
20:05:25linuxstbThe idea is that no new features are added, but bugs are fixed in all the existing features.
20:05:37linuxstbWe then release and start again...
20:05:42amiconnpreglow: I think the idea was to run just a single thread on the second core. If we want more than one, we could run a second scheduler on the second core, and let create_thread() have an argument specifying the core.
20:06:04romanos_melodosyou're right linux
20:06:41amiconnBut I think the biggest problem will be the data exchange. Iiuc this has to be done through iram, unless we find a way to invalidate the data cache
20:06:47romanos_melodosi'm still having some problems during playback and got an annoying sound each time i'm skipping to another dir to hear a song

20:07:18preglowthen i _think_ the only transfer that needs to take place is the decoded data
20:07:23preglowand that is always in iram now anyway
20:07:25linuxstbWe also have the issue of CPU boosting - the two CPUs share the same clock, but I think the COP can be run at half the speed of the main CPU.
20:07:44romanos_melodosare there 2 cpu's on ipod?
20:07:46amiconnCould we actually swap cores then?
20:08:05linuxstbYou mean run the UI on the COP?

20:08:41amiconnRun everything on the cop except the codec thread. Then we could throttle the ui to 1/2 whenever codec boosts
20:08:42DpK|Cronichi anyone here how can me install the source for rock box over WINDOWS DESKTOP REMOTe?
20:09:12linuxstbThat's assuming we can figure out how to run the COP at half-speed. I think I just read this in the PP product briefs.
20:09:23ep0ch_dsp should also be on the fast cpu?
20:09:34romanos_melodosare there 2 cpu's on ipod?
20:09:40linuxstbromanos_melodos: Yes.
20:09:45amiconnep0ch_: dsp isn't on a separate thread
20:09:47scott666_how does the apple firmware delegate it?

20:10:57scott666_DpK|Cronic: no
20:11:07romanos_melodoshow the heck did u guys managed to chroot inside ipod and other mp3 players anyway.. :P
20:11:21linuxstbscott666_: I think IPL mainly work with the bootloader and diagnostics mode code. That's a lot more managable than retailos.

20:11:48ep0ch_did anyone test boost ratio for .mod on ipod?

20:12:28DpK|Cronicscott666_ or can you give me a step by step documention from yoU? ^^ also in qry..
20:12:38preglowamiconn: no, playback engine does that, i'm afraid
20:12:42ep0ch_i see that .mod playback has some icode in it so i may do another test with and without linuxstbs no icode patch

21:29:40bluebrotherhehe ...
21:30:14bluebrotherI'd vote also for removing paragraph indents and instead using a greater parskip. But this seems to be somewhat controversical.
21:30:26preglowhrmph
21:30:33preglowi like parindent
21:30:36klrspzbig update?
21:30:50bluebrotherbtw, I wasn't aware of the capital "H" modifier for floats. Really nice.
21:31:06bluebrotheras I said, its somewhat controversical ;-)
21:31:25tucozYes, it seems to work better than the old way. I am looking at the nonfloat package at the moment
21:33:03tucozwhat does parskip do? more white space between the paragraphs?
21:33:17bluebrotheryup.
21:33:42preglowit just uses parskip instead of parindent to mark paragraphs
21:33:50tucozI see. I have no strong opinion in that camp. What looks good works for me :)
21:34:01preglowthe usual way is for parskip=0 and a parindent of around one em
21:34:15preglowbut i guess i can forgive parskip paragraphs in a manual
21:34:29preglowin other literature i'd shoot however used parskip :)
21:34:43bluebrotherI have this in my local build (to get a vision of it and me likes this better for the manual):
21:34:47bluebrother\addtolength{\parskip}{.4\baselineskip}

22:21:43saratogahay, i just noticed the new libmad changes
22:21:53saratogait looks like an amazing amount of work was done on it
22:22:14saratogaare any benchmarks available for arm or coldfire for the new changes?
22:22:15preglowindeed
22:22:22preglow19% gain for coldfire
22:22:27preglow10% less boost at 320kbps for arm
22:22:39saratogahow much boost is needed?
22:22:45preglowdepends on the file
22:22:50preglow320kbps on arm = 62% boost
22:22:53preglowway too much still
22:22:58preglowbut it used to be higher
22:23:01saratogayeah thats a lot
22:23:15preglowon coldfire it's very fast now
22:23:49saratogawhat makes coldfire so much faster?

22:24:31preglowi'm not too fond of load-store
22:24:38saratogais coldfire all that much better ?
22:24:44preglowwell, i think it's slightly better
22:24:50pregloweven though you do end up with more code most of the time
22:25:04saratogathats why i assumed, but it makes such a huge difference running the same c code?
22:25:12saratogais there a lot of 68k assembly or something
22:25:16preglowwell, apparently
22:25:30preglowsometimes the same code is faster on arm, sometimes not
22:25:32preglowhard to see a pattern
22:25:42preglowbut dsp seems to be faster on coldfire altogether, at least
22:25:50saratogayeah
22:26:00saratogawell arm can't pipeline loads or stores
22:26:11saratogaso its going to lose anytime you have to work on a large data set

23:17:42goffamaybe i'll skim that and learn it in 4... :P
23:17:50amiconn(1) The solid & slow way. First, require a patched gcc 3.3.x. When all build servers are upgraded, introduce -Os, and check for patched gcc in configure. Finally, require a patched gcc 3.4.x

23:18:59goffawould save a TON of battery
23:19:33amiconn(2) The fast way. Start with few build servers: Install patched gcc 3.4.x, update configure with the check, and add -Os. Disable sh builds for all servers which are not yet upgraded

23:20:05amiconn(1) has the advantage of a smooth transition, but requires an additional step of patching & installing gcc 3.3.x
23:20:27amiconn(2) is faster, but requires upgrading gcc in a short timeframe
23:20:29Bagderso why is that smooth?
23:20:52Bagderyou still need to patch and rebuild gcc

23:21:10amiconn(1) is smooth because all build servers can continue to build for archos, upgrading one by one
23:21:25goffaBagder: is your lcd/wps idea in the feature request yet? (probably is but figured i'd ask)
23:21:39amiconnThe problem is that we can't switch to -Os without the patch and that we can't swotch to gcc 3.4.x without -Os
23:21:46Bagderamiconn: I thought you said (1) would "require a patched gcc 3.3.x". how can any build server continue then?
23:22:10ep0ch_is everyone elses ipod hard disk dog slow?
23:22:14Bagdergoffa: I don't think it is, but we've discussed it a lot so it is "common knowledge" among the devs
23:22:37amiconnBagder: (1) is done in steps. The first step would be to install a patched gcc 3.3.x. At this point it's not yet required because we don't use -Os yet
23:22:44Bagderaah
23:22:48Bagdernow I get it
23:22:52amiconnOnly after all build servers are updated, we would introduce -Os
