00:00:40amiconn...and perhaps even feed analog input signals to s/pdif out
00:00:57preglowamiconn: echo spdif in to spdif out?
00:01:02amiconnyes
00:01:11preglowwhere would we get a proper clock?
00:01:21amiconnErm, from input?
00:01:33preglowright, sclk1-4
00:01:36 Quit dpro (Connection timed out)
00:01:37preglowi thought those were the iis clocks
00:01:44preglowbut they're not, obviously
00:02:00preglowwell, sure, not a bad idea

00:02:34preglowi'd actually say it's a good one, so agreed
00:02:41preglowi can't test it, though
00:03:12amiconnI can't test it as I would need a second toslink cable + a second toslink->mini adapter
00:03:32preglowi'd need another spdif input capable device
00:03:34preglowwhich i haven't got
00:03:43amiconnThen I could feed dvd player -> h140, and h140 -> opt/coax converter -> archos recorder
00:03:45preglowi have the extra cable
00:04:31preglowbut no
00:04:35amiconnI'll try your s/pdif recording next
00:04:45preglowgo on
00:04:51preglowi'll try to update the patch tomorrow
00:04:55preglowi don't have my player here now
00:05:03preglowso can't test

00:05:23amiconnThe analyzer shows symbol error with no signal attached, an when pulling the plug half-way I also get parity error (of course)
00:05:38preglowyep
00:06:09preglowif you discover why dma suddenly stops when unplugging several times, i'll be very happy
00:06:12preglowi have no idea

00:10:41m0nk_awesome i will check it out laterish
00:10:42amiconnpreglow: This is somewhat strange. (1) I get no monitoring although I think I should?
00:10:55m0nk_i wanna see whats going down here for now
00:11:05preglowamiconn: indeed you should
00:11:17amiconn(2) When unplugging, the size counter keeps running. After repeated plug/unplug, recording stops
00:11:32preglowyep, that's what i get too
00:11:36amiconnI think this is normal behaviour, as the recording dma isr checks for dma errors
00:11:37preglowbut the monitoring should work, afaik
00:11:54m0nk_grr i need a hot chik to goto the movies with:|
00:12:02amiconnBut: if I then start recording again, it hangs after 8KB (1 dma block)
00:12:04m0nk_I havent been out with a girl in too long
00:12:15preglowamiconn: exactly
00:12:23preglowamiconn: you need to exit, then reenter the recording screen
00:12:25preglowthen it'll work again
00:12:25 Quit egtrippen ("CGI:IRC (EOF)")
00:12:33preglowso something in the init code fixes the situation
00:13:08amiconnI can't, rockbox hangs
00:13:21preglowyes, before you try to record again
00:13:27preglowat that point, it's too late
00:14:07amiconnI'm still puzzled by the fact that the transfer keeps going with no signal
00:14:14preglowyes, it's weird

00:17:25preglowhaha
00:17:26preglowhooray!
00:17:35preglowdid you just rolo the new firmware?
00:17:48preglowthe first time, that is
00:17:48 Part m0nk_ ("Leaving")
00:19:07amiconnmyes
00:19:10preglowthen that explains it, probably
00:19:14amiconnwhy?
00:19:46preglowhardware regs not being left in the state i expect them to be, i guess
00:20:07amiconnBtw, DMA only drops out on parity error. When pulling s/pdif fast, it keeps going, but when pulling slow, causing parity errors, it drops
00:20:29preglowyou sure? i thought i noticed parity errors when the dma didn't drop as well
00:20:39preglowi've hardwired the status display to show me the interrupt status flag
00:20:46amiconnIf so, that needs investigation. There should be no difference between rolo and boot
00:21:28preglownot much work has been done with spdif init
00:21:49preglowso some regs might be left in some weird state

00:31:16Genre9mp3this is a bug, right?

00:46:13preglowof course your should make them on your own, but it's still fun to have presets
00:46:46Genre9mp3I know that someone made 5 presetes in the MR
00:47:06XavierGrGenre on my H100 your WPS fits perfectly on both screens (remote, main) with and without the status bar.
00:47:24Rincewind_12pilot's experimental build for h100 has some eq presets too

00:48:36preglowamiconn: hwere?
00:48:53amiconnThe pcm recording is simplistic. A bit too simplistic. It _assumes_ the transfer succeeded when receiving the DMA interrupt
00:48:57preglowfirst person to make fun of my lousy typing gets killed
00:49:03XavierGrGenre9: I just did

00:49:11XavierGrand nothing seems wrong
00:49:18XavierGrI will try on H300 too

00:49:43preglowbut why would it fail?
00:49:52Genre9mp3XavierGr: maybe this is only for the H300 LCD Remotes??
00:50:22amiconnIt looks like the recording dma is supposed to run all the time while in recording screen, even if no recording is going on
00:50:49preglowit is
00:50:51preglowfor the peak meter
00:51:09preglowwhich is always on
00:51:38amiconnA stop-from-error posts PCMREC_STOP, and pcmrec_stop() in turn calls pcmrec_dma_start();
00:52:24amiconnI think it's already this restart which fails, but due to the simplistic logic the recording code thinks one full block was transferred

01:00:40PaulJamisn't the cpu supposed to stay boosted all the time when the codec-buffer gets refilled?
01:00:58Paul_The_NerdIt's supposed to boost while filling, yeah.
01:01:18preglowamiconn: i have, but it depends for what you mean
01:01:19Paul_The_NerdAt least it *used* to be supposed to.
01:02:24PaulJamon my device it changes between 124 and 45Mhz. but i will check again with a cvs build.
01:03:45Paul_The_NerdWell it's also possible the buffering behaviour's changed recently. I wouldn't really be even close to an authority. ;-)
01:04:39PaulJami just wanted to mention it, in case this isn' right
01:05:21amiconnpreglow: As I suspected: dma error fires twice in a row, effectively disabling dma
01:05:52preglowamiconn: and again, only on parity error?
01:06:27amiconnNot sure, it happens when pulling/plugging
01:06:42amiconnThe weird thing is that it says DMA error 0x41
01:06:51preglowset the sample rate: display in recording.c to display the interrupt status register
01:06:54preglowit helps

02:14:40whatboutbob_preglow/amiconn: sounds like you've found why spdif recording hangs?
02:16:05preglowsounds more like amiconn has
02:16:10preglowi don't even have my h120 here
02:17:05amiconnThere's a strange thing: The DMA error reports as 0x41, which means 'configuration error', i.e. the transfer size and/or addresses don't match the data size
02:17:29amiconn(not integer multiple of bytes, or not aligned)
02:17:50amiconnBut I displayed, SAR1, DAR1 and BCR1.
02:18:23amiconnThey look fine, but BCR1 is zero (apart from the upper 8 bit which are reserved)
02:19:11amiconnSo it seems the DMA error is delayed until the actual end-of-transfer (unless the controller fiddles with these values on error, which I don't think it does)
02:21:02preglowsounds unlikely
02:22:08amiconnI just hard-crashed the unit...
02:22:39amiconnIt switched off and started to reboot into iriver - which hung at the start screen, ata led on
02:23:27preglownot bad...
02:23:36amiconnReproducable...
02:23:45preglowhow'd you manage that?

02:36:47whatboutbob_nice one!
02:37:46 Part synth7
02:38:27amiconnIt currently forces the DMA to run again. We'll need proper handling, but now we know what happens, and how to recover
02:39:03amiconnOf course such a recording won't be glitch-free,
02:39:37amiconnbut in fact I think we should continue recording when there is an error. Better a slight glitch than a stopped recording...
02:42:20amiconnOf course it would be better to trigger on the symbol error/ parity error interrupts, and stop DMA until the errors go away
02:48:21whatboutbob_amiconn: i agree. better an errored something than nothing.

03:30:34RhapsodyI would have preferred not to have to compile Rockbox at all but this is no problem because I already have to recompile for the CODEC I want.
03:30:51Galoisoh and there's no reason to wait for tonight's source, this patch is in the bootloader, and the bootloader is different from the usual rockbox.zip
03:31:16Galoisyou have to reinstall the bootloader to use the patch (see, it gets complicated already)

05:37:58biffheroso that would work to turn on the light.

05:47:31midkaypretty pointless on the iPods, since merely touching the wheel will turn on the backlight..

09:10:34whatboutbob_If this optical recording patch does iron out the bugs, is there any chance it would be committed for 3.0...or is it considered 'new' functionality, therefore out of scope?

09:18:00linuxstbwhatboutbob: I don't know what others think,. but if it's relatively bug-free, I think it should be in 3.0 - it comes under "core functionality", rather than as a new feature.
09:22:22amiconnI would even call it a bug fix (the recovery from DMA error surely is)
09:23:18amiconnThe recovery from stopped DMA still isn't bulletproof (namely an overrun due to inability to save in time, e.g. harddisk shaking) will cause the same symptoms
09:24:05amiconnThe dma/spdif error counter should be displayed somewhere, to make the user aware errors occured, and blocks dropped

09:34:32amiconnmidkay: I wonder what your sokoban fix should fix, resp. why it's necessary
09:34:48amiconnColours should be reset to standard anyway by the plugin loader
09:35:27shrizzaAlso, how can you force rockbox to shut off.
09:35:39shrizza(on an iPod)
09:36:42shrizzaOh, nevermind on that question.
09:36:48shrizzaThough I'm still wondering about Firewire.
09:37:08Paul_The_NerdRockbox doesn't really support USB either, but we don't automatically reboot you for firewire connections.
09:37:34whatboutbob_amiconn: do you know if the DMA error is caused only by a faulty signal? ie there is nothing 'wrong' with the patch that causes the errors (previously hangs)...and now rockbox just handles the faulty signal better?
09:37:58 Join ender` [0] (i=ychat@84.52.165.220)
09:38:05amiconnIt seems so. I didn't change the way how DMA is set up
09:38:29amiconn(though I still wonder why a faulty spdif signal can cause a DMA 'configuration error')
09:38:37amiconnMust be a glitch in the coldfire
09:38:46shrizzaRight now, in order to connect my iPod to my computer, I shut off rockbox and boot back into the original Apple firmware, then connect the firewire. I'm just wondering if this is the best way to connect the iPod to the computer.
09:39:04shrizzaOr if there's a faster way to achieve this without having to switch firmwares.
09:39:18Paul_The_NerdWell, when you plug in a USB cable, it shuts down Rockbox and reboots into the Disk Mode anyway.
09:39:30Paul_The_NerdA little bit faster, but not much.
09:39:38shrizzaAh.
09:39:53shrizzaI've never tried USB and don't plan on it because my computer doesn't support USB2.
09:40:02amiconnLinusN: Is there a reason why you reserved vectors for the interrupt controller 2 in the vector table, but never set INTBASE nor SPURVEC? Interrupt controller 2 is totally uninitialised...
09:40:15Paul_The_Nerdlinuxstb: Are you around by chance?
09:40:25LinusNamiconn: of course there is a reason
09:40:40shrizzaOh, I'm also wondering about the sensitivity of the click-wheel for activating the backlight. It's awfully sensitive isn't it?
09:40:50B4gderyes, but is there another reason that fascism? ;-P
09:40:52amiconnAlso, it seems you used 'reserved' areas for a couple of interrupt vectors
09:40:55B4gdertthan
09:40:59*B4gder stops trying
09:41:23LinusNthe reason is that i started with the vector table, and didn't find a use for any of the interrupts

09:41:40amiconnWell, we will need the GPIO interrupts for usbotg

09:43:57linuxstbPaul_The_Nerd: Yes, for a few minutes.
09:44:56Paul_The_Nerdlinuxstb: I was just gonna say, the USB resetting continually problem has shown up on a user's Nano. And if you extract Bootpartition.bin and then write it back, it has the problem, but if you restore the iPod it doesn't, so it sounds like it's a ipodpatcher.exe bug.
09:45:35Paul_The_NerdOooor...
09:45:37Paul_The_NerdHmm.
09:45:39linuxstbYes, I read that.
09:45:56Paul_The_NerdActually, did they say they use iPodPatcher.exe? I just realized, I don't know which method they used.

09:53:22linuxstbBut most of them apply to the Archos line of players.
09:54:24Paul_The_NerdSome of the reasons are perhaps a bit outdated. The ROM can only access FAT32 for example.
09:54:46qwm"EXCEPTION: Certain newer players (i.e., the international version of the iriver H300) are capable of acting as a master." - what about the ipods?

10:17:53Kohlrabiah
10:18:04LinusNB4gder: yes they are
10:18:15KohlrabiDoes anyone know somethign about CUE-support in rockbox?
10:18:16B4gderaren't most of them windows limits?
10:18:21Paul_The_NerdKohlrabi: It does not exist.
10:18:25LinusN4gb image files and fat32 file name limits
10:18:25Kohlrabiplans?
10:18:40KohlrabiOr unofficial patches?
10:19:00Paul_The_NerdKohlrabi: It wouldn't work well with the playlisting method currently used, and nobody's actually named a real benefit. And the people who want it haven't made any patches, I believe.
10:19:01LinusNKohlrabi: no real plans
10:19:14KohlrabiSince f2k dumped mutifile-CUE-support I have to encode to single file :\
10:19:23Kohlrabiaw, too bad
10:19:42Mikachurockbox plays losslessly with multiple files too
10:19:42Kohlrabithx
10:19:47LinusNwhy single file?
10:20:18Kohlrabiback then I used EAC to rip and encode to mutiple files without gaps, and had the gaps appended to previous track
10:20:27KohlrabiWhich is stated noncompliant
10:20:30LinusNso split the file then
10:20:33KohlrabiBut still worked in f2k0.8.3
10:20:40Kohlrabihmmya
10:21:34Paul_The_NerdWith proper formats there's not much use for a CUE file relating to playback.
10:21:42LinusNthe problem is that cue file support is really hard to fit into the playlist structure of rockbox
10:22:00LinusNit requires major changes to work well
10:22:09B4gdercue files are a hack anyway
10:22:11*B4gder ducks
10:22:11Kohlrabiyeah, I understand that, jsut asking
10:22:17LinusNi know
10:22:18Kohlrabi:)
10:23:44linuxstbBut there are more reasons than just ".cue" to break Rockbox's "one file = one track" - the tracker formats have multiple tracks in one file, we can have chained Ogg files, and chapter marks in .mp4 files (I'm guessing podcasts and audiobooks use them).
10:24:29LinusNtrue
10:25:51Paul_The_NerdWhat exactly is the big conflict with the current playlisting system?
10:27:02linuxstb1) Playlists only specify a file, not a track within a file.
10:27:37Paul_The_NerdLike, if you didn't allow reordering of the internal tracks (and just treated multi-track files as one long single track in a normal playlist, or as a playlist of their own if opened individually so a user can actually browse chapters) would that be doable?
10:27:39Mikachufor files with subtracks that may have to change anyway... sid and nsf etc
10:27:45linuxstb2) The get_metadata() function would need to return a list of metadata structures (one per track) instead of just a single metadata structure.
10:27:55Paul_The_NerdAaah
10:28:59LinusNthere is a patch from the stoneage which implements cue file support
10:29:02linuxstbNot related to the playlists problem, but we can't accurately seek in VBR MP3 files - meaning .cue support for MP3 will never be perfect (unless we frame-walk the entire file which will be very slow).
10:29:20linuxstbLinusN: Yes, I did that... But you're right, it's from the stoneage.

12:00:40daurnimatorhi all
12:00:48daurnimatorhow does one make an audio codec?
12:00:48daurnimator:P
12:02:46CassandraOne gets lostlogic to do it for you. :)
12:03:00CassandraOr someone else who understands codec magic.
12:03:09CassandraFailing that, RTFS.
12:03:50Cassandrapreglow: Should be. It's still being greedier than I want it to be though for some reason.

12:05:15CassandraEither there's a bug in perl, or I'm subtly failing to understand regexp syntax.
12:05:22CassandraGuess which my money is on.
12:05:27preglowdaurnimator: you make a codec plugin, there are a tons of them in apps/codecs
12:05:37preglowdaurnimator: usually, you just wrap a codec library you've imported from somewhere else

12:10:54CassandraHah! worked around it. Take that, interpreted language of Satan!
12:12:39whatboutbobpreglow/amiconn: the patch is looking pretty good. I'm just analysing a recording now that i pfaffed about with for an hour.
12:12:49Mikachui thought '?' is 0 or 1 matches
12:13:40CassandraMikachu, a lot of the character meanings in regexps are overloaded depending on context. (cf ^)
12:14:26CassandraPersonally I think it's kind of sloppy and creates extra confusion, but they never bothered asking me when they were designing them.
12:16:10whatboutbobpreglow/amiconn: any chance either of you could auto-enable spdif out when entering digital recording screen?
12:16:46Mikachuhm, i guess so
12:16:57Mikachuregex is a write-only language
12:17:05Mikachuat least, i can't read it

12:56:48amiconnpreglow: :shrug: Do you mean for input or output?
12:57:11amiconnwhatboutbob: It writes whenever the buffer is almost full
12:57:36whatboutbobis the buffer a set size?
12:58:03amiconnIt's the audio buffer
12:58:30whatboutbobk. thanks.

13:01:22preglowamiconn: input
13:02:03preglowamiconn: in the patch you got, i just find the sample rate from the control channel register, and it's sometimes wrong, it seems
13:03:34amiconnWhen do you read the register?
13:04:14amiconnIt worked for me, but then I only have one source, and can only test 44.1kHz (CD) and 48kHz (DVD)
13:04:16preglowEBU1RCVCCHANNEL1
13:04:38preglowi just ripped that code from the debug screen analyzer, i don't have the specs for it
13:04:45preglowbut linus got the values from a spec
13:05:04preglowhowever, i've got some newer code that uses direct clock measurement
13:05:10preglowwhich should work in all cases
13:05:15amiconnPerhaps I should get the optical sender chip as well, then I can convert coax->optical and test 32kHz
13:05:28amiconn(by playing a 32kHz mp3 on my archos)
13:06:47preglowi think the optical out on my chipset is locked to 48khz

13:44:27B4gderpetur: yeah, that woudl've been handy
13:44:38lostlogicyou're called in the ISR, so not long at all...
13:44:47lostlogicbut I don't actually have numbers on that.
13:45:02LinusNit depends on the fifo setting
13:45:15lostlogicLinusN: in the DAC?
13:45:15preglowlostlogic: ahh, right, so if i am to actually generate data, the wisest is to generate it outside the callback
13:45:23lostlogicpreglow: yeah
13:45:28preglowthat explains why i get crackling all over the place
13:45:35preglowbut i still get some when i do it the other way
13:45:38preglowjust very, very occasionally
13:45:40LinusNlostlogic: the coldfire fifo
13:46:20lostlogicLinusN: which is where it the DMA pulls from to send to the DAC?
13:46:42LinusNthe dma pulls from memory to the fifo
13:46:43preglowsends to
13:46:49preglowthe fifo is six deep, no?
13:46:52LinusNyes
13:46:52lostlogicah.
13:46:57preglowsix samples isn't really much time
13:46:58preglowhmm
13:47:06preglowapparently not at any rate
13:47:06LinusNbut i believe you can set the threshold for the interrupt

13:53:02preglowthe only thing the callback does now is set the address and length of the buffer, then schedule another synth round
13:53:28preglowdoes pcm_play_data copy the buffer?
13:53:34lostlogicno
13:53:38lostlogicit plays it in place
13:53:39preglowthat'd explain it, then
13:53:51preglowwell, i should have ample time for memcpy
13:54:00preglowi could also do double buffering
13:54:24LinusNlooks like the programmable threshold is only for recording
13:54:49LinusNthat means that you have less than a sample period to handle the dma irq
13:54:59preglowhaha, ouch

14:00:14Cassandrapreglow: Better implement pre-emptive multi-tasking then. ;)
14:00:15lostlogicpreglow: why was using the pcmbuf_get_latency (or wahtever itis) to determine the currently playing freq?
14:00:29lostlogicthat should get you very close to accurate latency numbers
14:00:45pregloweven when the buffer isn't entirely filled?
14:00:50lostlogiccourse
14:01:01lostlogicit measures the unplayed bytes + the number of bytes waiting on the DMA or fifo
14:01:11preglowohh, that might be good then
14:01:37preglowneed to stuff a host of new functions in the plugin api, then
14:01:56lostlogicgee fun :(
14:02:22preglowbut it would be very convenient
14:02:34LinusNpreglow: doing a frequency sweep?
14:02:51preglowLinusN: yeah, febs wanted one, and i figured it'd be a quick deal...
14:02:57LinusNhaha
14:03:27preglowworking fine, the sweep is just a bit inaccurate
14:04:04preglowdelta = (endfreq - startfreq)/(duration*SAMPLE_RATE) <- and god knows why...
14:04:52*amiconn doesn't think the frequency sweep is 3.0 stuff...
14:04:58preglowcorrect
14:07:16LinusNpreglow: looks like that formula would give very small deltas
14:07:22preglowLinusN: exactly
14:07:30LinusNno wonder it's inaccurate then
14:07:35preglowi need to do some fixed point stuff
14:07:37preglowi can't just cut of the fraction
14:07:43preglowit's important when the sweep is thirty seconds
14:07:48preglows/of/off/
14:08:59LinusNyeah, just shift the delta <<16 or something
14:09:12LinusNor rather (endfreq-startfreq)<<16

15:17:08midkayamiconn, you wondered what this fixes - the problem was that sokoban sets its own foreground colors (black text, brown boxes, etc) - but it doesn't set a background. so if one has a black background selected with white text, they'll have black-on-black text, and dark brown on black.

15:48:31dproit should
15:48:59JdGordonno it shouldnt.. not on targets without the rtc...

15:49:22dproI just read it somewhere grepping through the sources
15:49:49PaulJamJdGordon: but why did your previous patch work? did you get the random number somehow else?
15:50:02JdGordonit didnt did it?
15:51:10amiconnJdGordon: rockbox has a really good prng
15:51:14PaulJamthe second patch with the altered line 26 worked for me.
15:51:22dproJdGordon: so you get the same number no matter if you a) seed at all b) seed with currenttick c) seed with different ints ?
15:51:26amiconnIf you get the same number over and over, you're doing something wrong
15:51:57PaulJami meant line 36
15:52:14Nibbleroi, since when can rockbox do those voice-promts?
15:52:28amiconnmidkay: Thing is that this fix shouldn't be necessary at all, because the plugin loader sets black text on lightblue background before starting the plugin

19:43:05*amiconn had an idea how to save bus bandwidth on coldfire for both playback & recording :)
19:43:14preglowhow?
19:43:48amiconnBu using the DMA autoalign feature, with reading (playback) or writing (recording) whole lines from/to memory
19:44:30amiconnI'm just testing this with s/pdif recording

19:48:02amiconnIt works...
19:48:23amiconnThe question is how much we really save, and how to measure it
19:55:47preglowwhy does autoalign help at all?
19:59:14amiconnWhen SSIZE and DSIZE are different and AA is enabled, the DMA controller aligns the accesses with larger size and tries to access the larger size at once whenever possible
19:59:24amiconn-> line bursts in our case

20:15:39preglowall your changes are in the one area of the patch?
20:15:44preglowi've already fixed the typo here
20:18:07scott666Is there a program that makes it easier to make a playlist for a recursive set of folders than just adding the folder in winamp and saving a playlist?
20:18:28Mikachudir /r > file.m3u or something
20:19:02scott666*that can do batch jobs
20:19:14Mikachu?
20:19:33scott666a whole bunch of folders
20:19:56amiconnpreglow: Yes, only in pcm_record.c: pcmrec_dma_start() and DMA1()
20:20:08scott666and fiddling with the command prompt is really 'easier' than just doing it with winamp
20:20:30amiconnNote that I don't think the code is ready for commit; some ifdefing for coldfire targets without s/pdif are missing,
20:20:55amiconnand somehow the recording source setting doesn't remember 'digital'
20:21:47amiconnpreglow: You can try the auto-align stuff yourself: In pcm_record.c change the 2 lines which setup DCR1 to:
20:21:54amiconnDCR1 = DMA_INT | DMA_EEXT | DMA_CS | DMA_AA | DMA_DINC | (3 << 17) | DMA_START;
20:22:09amiconnand in pcm_playback.c, change line 98 to:
20:22:10amiconnDCR0 = DMA_INT | DMA_EEXT | DMA_CS | DMA_AA | DMA_SINC | (3 << 20) | DMA_START;

21:07:54amiconnYes, laser is a different thing

21:23:02preglowfamous for its speed? it isn't exactly mind numbingly fast
21:23:19preglowyou could transport tops 96000*20*2 bits per second, i think
21:23:24preglowunless you can control the link layer as well
21:23:52preglowhalf a meg per second
21:23:53amiconnI guess s/pdif monitoring for analog in requires setting TXSOURCE to iis1RcvData, and CLOCKSEL to SCLK1 ?

21:27:06preglowhardware bug, possibly
21:27:20preglowit is possible for the channel config register to just contain erronous bits to describe the sample rate
21:27:33preglowmost things, like dacs, etc, would just ignore that data anyway
21:30:21*amiconn just noticed that we can save some more energy on archos when someone just wants to listen to radio with no recording standby
21:30:38amiconnThen we can power off the MAS dsp core
21:31:11scott666my FMR got so awful reception the radio was basically useless

21:31:49amiconnThey use the same philips fm chip as the iriver h1x0 and h300

22:25:25amiconnWileE79: YOu mean batteries don't charge inside the recorder?
22:25:38amiconnWhat if you charge them in an external charger?
22:25:56preglowamiconn: what, and they just drop them?
22:25:58WileE79No they charge fine but after 2 or 3 days they are empty even if I don't use the jbr
22:26:01preglowamiconn: btw, did you find a description of all the bits?
22:26:17amiconnI just used the spdif analyzer debug code
22:26:34preglowah, ok
22:26:43preglowsounds weird they don't give you all bits
22:27:06amiconn..and compared the 2 values I was able to get: CD in DVD player, DVD in DVD player, and no disk in DVD player
22:27:12amiconn*3 values
22:27:25scott666WileE79: whats the problem then?
22:27:26amiconnEven coldfire doesn't give all bits
22:27:49preglowbtw, currently i write the sample rate together with the header at the start of the recording. this will work out rather badly if people start the recording with no cable inserted. how should we deal with that?
22:28:03MikachuWileE79: put in a piece of plastic between the battery and the connector
22:28:46WileE79Well, I put fully charged batteries in my JBR and after 2 days they are empty...they also discharge if I remove them from the device and just have them lying around

22:32:40preglowamiconn: ahh, yeah
22:32:49preglownot the finished patch anyway
22:33:05lookupi have a question about ipod on rockbox. anybody that knows what they are talking about can surely message me
22:33:14WileE79if I remember correctly 2200 - 2500
22:33:31preglowlookup: or you can just ask a question right here
22:33:33scorchelookup: just ask the question...
22:33:59lookupif i install rockbox on my ipod is there a possibility that i could fubar it?
22:34:07preglowthere's always a possibility
22:34:12preglowbut in the case of ipods, it's very, very, very small
22:34:17lookupok
22:34:17preglowno one has done it so far
22:34:43lookupwhen i do change the fw, i will have the oppurotunity to update my songs via Sharepod?
22:34:44preglowno matter how much you mess it up, you can always use the apple ipod restorer program
22:34:57preglowwith rockbox, you just copy files
22:35:00preglowno extra program needed
22:35:08lookupo really
22:35:08lookupthat's nice
22:35:47lookuphow long does an installation like this take?

22:39:00Mikachu[lookup] is this better than ipod fw or is it worse? in quality i mean.
22:39:01amiconnpreglow: tabs slipped in....
22:40:23WileE79So do you guys think its worse to give it another shot with cells with lower capacity before I go and get a new Gmini?

22:58:43amiconnThe app layer knows whether spdif power should be on by default
22:58:56amiconnWhile recording from spdif it needs to be always on

23:00:06 Quit SereR0KR ("XChat Aqua")
23:00:29preglowyes, and that's why i want to do it in recording.c
23:00:49preglowfirmware layer does not know whether to leave it on when deselecting spdif
23:01:11amiconnNo, but app layer shouldn't switch it itself
23:02:59preglowok, so i'll need to read the status of the pin on entry of the recording screen to find out if it should stay enabled or introduce an enabled variable in power.c?
23:03:04preglownone of them sounds very elegant
23:06:40 Join dj-fu [0] (n=deejay@202-169-221-29.worldnet.co.nz)
23:06:43preglowwhat about just having pcm_record.c enable it without checking, then having recording.c call spdif_power_on() if checking the settings struct says it's needed
23:07:04preglowlinuxstb: here?
23:08:11amiconnYou don't need to read status on entry. Recording screen is app layer, and can read the global settings value

23:08:57amiconnHowever, in order to save energy when spdif is not needed/wanted, recording.c would have to tell pcm_record.c what the default state should be
23:09:53preglowrecording.c knows what source is selected, yes? why can't it just switch itself?
23:09:59preglowah, no, that's sound_menu.c code
23:10:18*preglow checks
23:11:44preglowrecording.c does the set_recording_options() stuff itself, so it could work without needing to tell pcm_record anything

23:44:42amiconnSo the xing header will be messed up if the sample rate changes during recoridng

23:45:21preglowi'll just do a note of it in the manual
23:45:28amiconnWith mp3 it will still play correctly (with a slight glitch), but with wav there's no way to tell, so pitch will be off.
23:45:38preglowat least it's very easy to fix
23:45:42preglowyou just alter the wav header
23:45:53amiconnNot if it changes inbetween
23:46:02preglownono, but then you've got problems either way
23:46:09preglowyou can't fix that in a wav except splitting to a new wav
23:46:20preglowand i can't be bothered to do that now
