00:02:24midkayamiconn, hm, no it doesn't, it uses the user's background/foreground color.
00:02:49midkayamiconn, i even tried it by setting a variety of bg colors.. plugins that weren't specific about it (e.g. clock) indeed used my settings.
00:02:55XavierGrthe same appears to be here http://www.rockbox.org/tracker/task/5191 (close the previous because this is more detailed)

00:05:01BagderXavierGr: you want powers to do such "cleanups" on your own?
00:05:17XavierGrof course!
00:05:30Bagderthen try now!
00:06:00XavierGrIt just happened that I have some free time and I want to code some bugfixes. I saw those duplicates and reported the,
00:06:08XavierGr^them
00:06:17Bagderthat's goodness
00:06:43Bagderit works the best if we all do a little cleaning from time to time, sharing the burden
00:07:34XavierGrI wasn't aware of the 'hell' that resides in the bug tracker. I will try to ease your pain. :P
00:07:42tucozargh. I cannot get this to work. I commited a file that shouldn't have been commited. I got the older the revision from cvs, but I can't get the patch to apply.
00:08:18tucozor miraculasly it worked now, the second time I applied the patch
00:10:08amiconnpreglow: As you weren't around when I asked first: What do you think about my way to get rid of function sections on ipod (w/o dropping functions from iram)?

00:16:33preglowwhatboutbob: you got cables enough to patch them together?
00:16:40whatboutbobi'm such an idiot sometimes...
00:16:41preglowamiconn: you know how much effort is involved in fixing gcc?
00:17:16amiconnNot really. Didn't find the place where this decision is made.
00:17:24whatboutbobpreglow: i'll need a toslink to mini converter (or a mini to mini cable)
00:17:29preglowright
00:17:44amiconnRather, I found a place which I think might be the correct one, but didn't really understand how it works
00:18:20amiconnwhatboutbob: Use 2 cables, wait for spdif monitoring, and then produce a feedback loop ;)
00:18:28XavierGrHmm I found a bug regarding the remote.
00:18:35whatboutbobhehehe
00:18:42amiconnXavierGr: Only one?
00:19:14XavierGrWhe the user changes the scrolling settings these changes aren't applied on the remote until a reboot.
00:19:30XavierGr(On the normal unit the changes are applied as normal)
00:19:34amiconnThe remote should have its own scroll settings
00:19:44XavierGrI agree
00:19:45preglowamiconn: when would spdif monitoring of analogue input be useful, btw?
00:19:56XavierGrI will see if i can make a patch about it?
00:19:58pirokoanyone know where linuxstb is?
00:20:14preglowmia
00:20:22pirokodonde?
00:20:27whatboutbobwhat sample rates does optical ut support?

00:21:07 Join JdGordon [0] (n=jonno@c211-28-95-208.smelb1.vic.optusnet.com.au)
00:21:20preglowprobably doesn't suck any more battery anyway, so why not
00:21:40amiconnCorrect, since spdif power needs to be enabled anyway
00:21:58amiconn(nah, only for spdif recording)
00:22:02preglowi was planning to disable optical out when recording from analogue...
00:22:05preglowyeah
00:22:18 Quit bluebrother ("Leaving")
00:22:21preglowbut it's nice if you've got optical output enabled in options
00:22:25amiconnoptical out should obey the global setting when recording from analog input
00:22:30preglowyes
00:22:44XavierGralso it would be a good idea to stop optical out when there is no sound output. Like iriver does
00:22:57XavierGrAFAIK currently in Rockbox once set to one it is alwasy on
00:23:06XavierGrc/one/on
00:23:19amiconnThen it would need to be handled in pcm_playback.c
00:23:27whatboutbobXavierGr: yup.
00:23:39XavierGrprobably yes
00:23:47 Quit mirak ("Ex-Chat")
00:24:00amiconnOtherwise voice or plugin sound wouldn't work via spdif
00:24:38amiconnIt might not always be wise to disable optical out in such cases
00:25:11amiconnIirc there are some spdif devices which need a bit more time to sync themselves to the spdif signal
00:25:17preglowindeed
00:25:28amiconn...so the beginning of the music might be swallowed
00:25:42amiconn_usually_ syncing to spdif should only take a few msec

00:47:08amiconnJust use an almost-empty bin instead of apple_os.bin
00:47:30amiconnI tested increasing file sizes; the minimum that worked for me was 128 bytes

00:55:16darklesson the topic of disabling spdif out when not playing... I'd strongly advice against that. I use an external DAC (an AQVOX USB 2 D/A) and from the moment I switch to the optical signal (same as switching from no playback to audio if optical was disabled while not playing), it takes ~ 1.5-2 secs until it has locked on to the signal and I start hearing sound.
00:56:01amiconnYeah one of those slowwww devices
00:56:30darklessand it's not uncommon for highend DACs to be that slow, at least that's been my experience so far
00:56:54darklessalthough I don't know if an $800 DAC qualifies as "highend"
00:57:01XavierGromg which are the sim keys for ipod colour?
00:57:11XavierGris there a page with all sim keybindings?

01:00:23XavierGrPaulJam: So what exactly do you do to reproduce it? Show in wide mode a very long line?
01:00:26darklessamiconn: the sync-to-signal itself is prob. less than 50 msecs, but the mechanical relay switching on/off isn't
01:00:43amiconnmechanical relay???
01:01:21darklessat least that's what I think it is... it makes a "click" sound and sound appears a short while later
01:01:27*amiconn wouldn't expect a high-end dac to use a mechanical relay
01:02:00PaulJamXavierGr: i just opened a textfile with one very long line (the viewer was set to not break long lines)

01:02:15darklessthe clicking sound is coming from the DAC itself, it's not part of the signal
01:02:42 Quit shrizza (Remote closed the connection)
01:02:57preglowrelay in a dac?
01:02:58preglowweird
01:03:24preglowbut yeah, one pro device i used had close to 500 msec lockon tie
01:03:26preglowtime
01:05:07preglowbut yeah, sleep time. good night
01:06:35darklessI don't know if it's a relay or not, all I know is that it makes an audible "click" when I plug in the toslink cable to my iriver while the DAC is on
01:07:12darklessand at the same time a light indicator turns on, indicating the detected sample rate

01:14:00PaulJamis it worth a bugreport that the characters "1/4","1/2" and "3/4" are not to distinguish from spaces in the virtual keyboard?
01:14:07XavierGrMikachu: Do you know if the ipods can scroll out of view?
01:14:32Mikachuhow do you mean?
01:14:55XavierGrMikachu: was that for me?
01:15:00Mikachuwho else?
01:15:59XavierGrMaybe PaulJam. :P Well on iriver you can press Play + Left/right on file tree (or playlist view) and all large text will scroll to that direction
01:16:27XavierGrIs that pocible on iPods
01:16:29Mikachuhm, don't know if you can do it manually, but the selected item scrolls
01:16:55XavierGrI can see the option but I can't find the correct keycombo

05:01:17BHSPitMonkeythe only risk is losing the music.
05:01:21dongsok.
05:01:25dongsit can always be factory reset?
05:01:28dongsincase shit happens?
05:01:30BHSPitMonkeythey're 100% always restorable.
05:01:36blindNOT ALWAYS
05:01:44BHSPitMonkeyyes, always.
05:01:48blindno, not always
05:01:53blindi just had to send mine back to apple
05:01:57BHSPitMonkeyI don't include hardware failure in the realm of possibility

05:07:51Paul_The_Nerdblind: Well, if it wouldn't boot in disk mode then Rockbox didn't do that, because all the steps in that process take place before any of our software is accessed.
05:08:21blindwell then it was a well timed coincidence.
05:08:47Paul_The_NerdPerhaps
05:09:39Paul_The_NerdWould yours freeze at a certain point, or not power on at all?

05:10:04blindit would turn on, and i would get the infamous sad ipod

05:25:07XavierGrWhat an idiot I am!!!!!
05:26:00XavierGrI said that I didn't had an optical device except my H140 and then I realise that except my DVD player I have another H115 that I can test cross over! :P
05:26:24Paul_The_Nerdhehehe
05:26:48XavierGrAnd imagine that I bought 2 optical cables today with the thought that I didn't had another device with optical in/out
05:27:19XavierGrWell I can't get distortion on monitoring between H100s.

05:27:42XavierGrI can't really understand how on earth the DVD player disterted only on monitor.....
05:28:23Paul_The_NerdWas the DVD player outputting at 48khz? Maybe that has something to do with it?
05:28:46hii dont like dvd players
05:29:06hii like blu-ray players
05:29:09XavierGrIt didn't matter whether it was 48 or 96kHz. The distortion was the same....
05:29:39Paul_The_NerdYeah, but neither of those are 44.1 ;-)
05:30:11Paul_The_Nerdhi: I'm anti-anything with as much DRM as they try to load into those.
05:30:42hino i no a way to take drm off of dvd's
05:31:01hiits just mildly consly
05:31:10hicostly*
05:31:27Paul_The_NerdI was talking about blu-ray disks.
05:32:30XavierGrPaul_The_Nerd: Ah yes if it was 48 then it should be a problem.
05:32:41XavierGrlet me check again
05:32:47hiyeah i know a way for those 2 seriously
05:33:15higo to archos.com
05:33:27hiand look at the av500
05:33:35hi100gb
05:34:16Paul_The_NerdAre you saying "Use the analog recording features of GadgetX" as a method for that?
05:34:25XavierGrPaul_The_Nerd: yup it is either 48 or 96

05:35:09Paul_The_NerdBecause it resamples the file to play it back, but it probably *doesn't* resample while monitoring.

05:35:30hihopefully i can play midis now

09:12:51LinusNyes and no :-)
09:12:55JdGordonhaha
09:13:02LinusNit's a requested feature
09:13:04B4gderpeople have whined about that feature since aaaages
09:13:18LinusNbut i think it has to be global
09:13:34LinusNmeaning, it currently only works in the browser
09:13:34JdGordonhow u mean global?
09:14:05LinusNi think it has to be implemented with a SYS_xxx message
09:14:30qwm:)
09:14:36LinusNbut it's a good start
09:17:06JdGordonu mean call the SYS_ message from the button driver itself?
09:19:52 Nick hannesd_ is now known as hannesd (n=light@gate-hannes-tdsl.imos.net)
09:21:04LinusNwhat i mean is that rockbox should send a SYS_WPSTIMER message to the button queue when the timer expires
09:21:31JdGordonah ok
09:21:32LinusNthen it will be possible to return to WPS from anywhere
09:21:48LinusNnot that easy to accomplish, but it would be nice

11:02:57amiconnRegarding text_editor, I'll check something to be a bit more specific
11:03:08LinusNJdGordon: i think it would be cleaner if you implemented it in the button interrupt
11:03:09JdGordonhmm ok that makes sence then.. shoudl i edit the uisims version so the patch could work (if it gets added) ?
11:03:54JdGordonLinusN: i put it there coz it needs to check if we r gonna return BUTTON_NONE... isnt that the best spiot for that then?
11:04:06LinusNthen the button_get() and button_get_w_tmo() functions wouldn't be affected
11:04:34LinusNwhy would it have to check for BUTTON_NONE?

11:44:54tucozThat is, for the irivers? Should we just add a pointer to the bootloader page in the wiki?
11:45:19JdGordonLinusN: the reason it should wait for BUTTON_NONE is coz if a button was actually pressed we dont want it skipped... ?
11:45:51LinusNin that case, you would send two events
11:46:31tucozLinusN, what do you think?
11:47:50JdGordonLinusN: u mean just add the check and que_post(..SYS_WPSTIMEOUT) anywhere in the function? that sound odds to me.. but ok...
11:47:50LinusNtucoz: i'm not sure. i think you could point to the wiki, since you must download stuff from there anyway
11:47:59tucozAs a user anyway would have to go to the bootloader page to get the patcher/.bin file, then it's maybe best to leave those instructions out of the manual

13:02:49markunyes
13:02:53dongsmarkun: about hebrew
13:03:00dongs<iTayb> hebrew should be rtl in ipod as well, but cuz programmers are lazy to change the code especially for hebrew,
13:03:03dongs its ltr there
13:03:12dongsin tha screenshot i did with hebrew
13:03:15dongstext needs to be right-aligned
13:03:17dongsfor track names
13:03:22dongsor dir names etc
13:03:25dongsif its hebrew
13:03:27dongswoudl that be hard to do?
13:03:30markunyes, allignment isn't right
13:04:23markunIf you want your text rtl you probably want the whole interface mirrored
13:04:42amiconndongs: text direction should be correct for arabic and hebrew afaik
13:04:57amiconnAlignment is not, as is the scroll direction for scrolling text
13:05:11markunbut strange that it shouldn't be rtl on the ipod..
13:05:23markunDon't think that has anything to do with us being lazy
13:06:19markundongs: you have a ipod as well, right? I thought you told me arabic and hebrew were rtl for you
13:06:46amiconndongs: What ipod?
13:07:18dongsamiconn: nano
13:07:28dongsmarkun: in original firmware?
13:07:41markunAh, original firmware..
13:07:43dongsamiconn: 'direction' may be correct, but a jew is telling me it should be right-aligned on screen
13:07:46dongsi can check.
13:07:54dongsi guess..
13:07:58dongsthough i don have itunes.
13:08:01dongsor any jewish mp3s.
13:08:15markunWe would need something like a is_rtl function to fix scrolling and allignment
13:08:45dongshm waht about hebrew language file
13:08:50dongsthat doesnt switch the menus rtl either
13:08:58markunIt does
13:09:04dongsoh?>
13:09:06amiconnmarkun: I don't think this makes sense. What if some mp3s have hebrew names, and others have e.g. english names?
13:09:06markunJust not the allignment
13:09:23amiconnDo we want to align the lines different? Might look really strange
13:09:26markunamiconn: yes, that would look very nice :)
13:09:33dongsamiconn:
13:09:57dongs<dongs> what happens if there's like 2 english and 2 jew tracks?
13:09:58dongs<dongs> english ones are normal, hebrew is to the right?
13:09:58dongs<iTayb> yeah
13:10:07amiconnThe menus could be mirrored when an rtl .lng is loaded
13:10:07markunWe should ask jewish and arab people how they prefer it.
13:10:14amiconn(would need a flag in the .lng)
13:10:54markundongs: well, it's possible of course. Does he know how to program?

13:14:42amiconns/striked/stroke/
13:14:42preglowindeed it won't
13:15:19amiconnIs it possible to switch between monitoring and pcm out without disturbing recording? (guess it is)
13:15:51preglowshould be
13:17:04amiconnI expect another problem with my spdif passthrough tests. It might be mechanically impossible to plug 2 optical cables (with toslink->mini adapters) at the same time
13:17:18preglowamiconn: good work, i can't kill recording however hard i try
13:18:00Mikachuamiconn: shouldn't you use a named definef or that 3<<20 too/
13:18:05preglowit might be possible here, i just need to cut some plastic off my adapter

13:32:51preglowamiconn: at least i couldn't see any flags in the channel config reg that indicated double rate, did you?
13:33:08whatboutbobi really should just read the manual, but rockbox playback always samples back to 44.1, doesn't it?
13:33:13qwmmarkun: nope, i got bored with it. ;)
13:33:19whatboutbobie there's no way for me to test higher sample reates recording between h1xx's?
13:33:48preglowplayback is always 44.1khz at the moment, yes

15:21:30michaelconnerhi all... quick question
15:21:48michaelconnerhow much does replaygain affect battery life on ipods?
15:21:54michaelconner(or does it?)
15:22:01amiconnpreglow: Yes, when building with -mlong-call and the function doesn't go into a special section
15:23:48preglowurgh
15:23:59preglowi want all calls but iram calls short :/
15:24:20preglowbut i guess that would almost certainly mean overhauling gcc
15:24:27amiconnThe gcc heuristics whether a function should be long call is rather bad
15:24:31ThreeMwow, im really impresst what you people done with rockbox. Its soooo much more compfortable, and very useful 4 ipod users. thx to all . and sorry for my bad english
15:24:37midkayamiconn, you said the viewer needs fixing badly, which i am in complete agreement with, and although i've tried re-introducing filepos-saving.. this is kind of holding me back, maybe you have an idea. http://www.rockbox.org/tracker/task/4729
15:24:52amiconnIn fact it doesn't depend on the called function but also on the caller
15:24:57preglowsure
15:25:15preglowif the caller is placed in some non-default section, it should long-call
15:25:20amiconnIdeally we would only want long calls for calls dram->iram or iram->dram
15:25:31peturwhatboutbob: ok I gave in :D
15:25:33amiconn..and short calls for dram->dram and iram->iram
15:25:53preglowi refuse to believe it can be hard
15:26:10preglowif we included the ICODE_ATTR define in all .h files, it should work
15:26:29amiconnThis is impossible to achieve with the current options offered by gcc (function attributes, #pragma, and -mlong-calls)
15:26:45amiconn..and even therein, gcc has bugs
15:27:00*JdGordon prays for malloc and free in plugins... :'(
15:27:45*amiconn doesn't understand what malloc should be good for, *perhaps* except for porting large third-party apps (like doom)
15:27:53preglowagreed
15:28:02JdGordonso linked lists arnt a complete mind rape :D
15:28:07preglowhaha
15:28:25preglowif you think linked lists with no malloc is a mind rape, you need more linked lists experience and should start coding :)
15:28:29amiconnJdGordon: Why would you need malloc for linked lists?
15:28:43Mikachuin rockbox you already have all memory

15:29:15JdGordonim doing with pointers in a static array, and its just bloody confusing...
15:29:43preglowamiconn: but my reasoning goes like this: gcc should always assume shortcall, unless it sees that a funtion it's about to call into/out of is in some non-default section
15:29:58dprowhatboutbob: well france is a little smaller than half the size of alaska so you must live in an previously unknown state ...

16:01:10whatboutbobamiconn: i can't figure out when it doesn't save...
16:01:35whatboutbobXavierGr: I'm pretty sure you recorded 48kHz earlier...
16:01:44XavierGryes I am too
16:01:51whatboutbobincreased pitch until you correct headers. :)
16:02:28XavierGrinteresting
16:02:50whatboutbobI believe preglow's upcoming patch *should* fix that (detects sample rate better).
16:03:06amiconnI tried 48kHz. It worked fine, wrote the correct wav header
16:03:18XavierGramiconn: with rockbox right?
16:03:21amiconnThat's without the freqmeas code
16:03:29amiconnXavierGr: Yes of course, what else?
16:03:47XavierGrwell yesterday I tried to use optical in/out with default firmware
16:04:36XavierGrit worked okay with 44.1 signal but once I tried 48kHz monitor was distorted and the recording was pitch shifted (thouh I am not sure I must recheck)

16:06:58amiconnXavierGr: Monitoring is supposed to be a bit distorted with input != 44.1kHz
16:07:08XavierGrah okay then
16:07:10amiconnSomething with different audio clocks, not sure
16:07:19amiconnThe recording should be fine though
16:07:36XavierGrmaybe I was wrong I must retest about the shift
16:07:43amiconnMy recording wasn't pitch shifted; it depends on what is written to the wav header
16:08:19amiconnThe current patch relies on the channel status bits for figuring out the sample freq, so it depends on whether the source sets them correctly
16:08:39amiconnThe upcoming patch will measure so it should always be correct
16:08:44 Quit TCK ("well, if you say so.")
16:09:24XavierGrthen we will have to ask some users to make some tests about the known glitch of the optical recording.
16:09:49XavierGrsome users have reported than using iriver firmware's optical in results in some lost samples.
16:09:54whatboutbobamiconn: care to hazard a guess on the likelihood of ever being able to record 20bits w/ rockbox on the h1xx? 1%, 10%, 100%?
16:10:46whatboutbobXavierGr: I can absolutely confirm lost samples w/ iriver f/w optical recording.

16:36:29B4gderI understand

16:38:19preglowXavierGr: if the wav is pitched up, then my next patch should fix it
16:39:21amiconnpreglow: Do you know why it is distorted? I'm not sure...
16:40:32preglowbecause i'm using the uda iis clock to drive the output clock
16:40:56preglowyou can't use the spdif incoming clock to clock any of the fifos

16:45:45preglowamiconn: and as far as i can see, there is no way to clock any of the iis channels from the ebu clock
16:46:00whatboutbobamiconn/preglow: boy...either my puter isn't happy with me...or its not happy with my 'messed with' optical recording...it just took ~40 mins to load a 2GB file, which usually takes ~10 mins.
16:46:16amiconnHmm, so it's the clock mismatch that causes the distortion?
16:46:18preglowamiconn: so i always use 44.1khz clock coming from the uda, which will distort noticably at other rates than 44.1khz
16:46:30preglowamiconn: as a matter of fact, it'll distort at 44.1khz too, but not noticably
16:47:09preglowwhatboutbob: heck if i know why
16:47:14Mikachuwhatboutbob: maybe you should use an editor that supports inplace loading of .wav files

The something else succeeds and the error number is reset to 0 ("success"). It's a program but, not a Windows bug, though there may be parts of Windows with the bug I suppose.

18:28:46thegeekwith 50 I could still hear some white noise
18:28:57thegeekand 100 only removed more volume
18:29:02whatboutbob...so you've just got a 3.5mm plug on each end?
18:29:09thegeekwell
18:29:20thegeeka female plug on one and and a male on the other
18:29:28thegeekI placed the resistors inside the jacks themselves

19:54:16Paul_The_NerdSettings don't save to the config block when you plug in USB either. So if you hadn't shut down properly since you changed them, they wouldn't be stored that way either.
19:54:45Aveoh so they get saved on shutdown
19:56:24Paul_The_NerdThey get written to the config block on shutdown, and I think possible disk spinups. Since the nano doesn't go through the spinup process, I think they're *only* saved on shutdown right now.

20:03:42Falco98i haven't been in IRC in awhile :-P
20:04:39amiconnPaul_The_Nerd: I implemented it this way on Ondio (saving settings immediately) back then, but was reminded by others that it isn't a good idea
20:05:00amiconnIt causes more flash wear
20:05:22amiconnInstead, the nano should save on 'spinup' as all other targets
20:05:51amiconnThe nano is the only target that never 'spins up' (in firmware logic). The Ondio does
20:06:26amiconnThere's no reason why it should stay this way, the spinup can be faked
20:08:01Paul_The_Nerdamiconn: If you only saved settings on a complete menu exit (to filetree/wps), after they had been changed, and never saved them otherwise, wouldn't that essentially be a minimum case on saves? Especially if you didn't save settings changed in the quickmenu.
20:09:05amiconnIn fact nano does not only save settings on shutdown, even without faking spinups
20:09:23amiconnIt saves settings on the next ordinary disk access, as all other targets
20:09:32Paul_The_NerdHmm.
20:09:58amiconnThis doesn't depend on faking spinups, it's hardwired into ata_read_sectors() and ata_write_sectors()
20:10:21oboamiconn: how does ata_disk_is_active behave at the moment on nanos?
20:10:22amiconnBoth functions will save the 'delayed sector' if it exists
20:10:23Paul_The_NerdWell then, it's odd that people on Nano seem to run into the problem of unsaved settings more than others. Ah well. :)

20:13:04hardeepamiconn: yes?
20:13:06Aveok I cant seem to be able to reproduce it, I guess it was case of 'settingsblock' weirdness
20:13:48hardeepoh, the nano doesn't spinup?
20:13:54hardeepyeah, that would be a problem
20:16:15hardeepactually, maybe not... does the nano have the directory cache option? (that's what we use to enable the delayed writing of playlist control commands)

20:20:25Paul_The_NerdYeah, right now it's only beneficial with TagCache, right?

20:31:39Falco98well in a perfect world, i'd like to code up an additional folder context-menu item called something like "insert shuffled folders", etc
20:32:10Falco98where instead of shuffling all songs, it only shuffles the order in which folders are added, but then the tracks therein will play in order
20:32:27Falco98(basically accomplishing the "album shuffle mode" that a few people are clamoring for)
20:32:48Falco98but i'm afraid at this point my programming skills might not be up-to-task
20:33:29Falco98anyway, i've been reading the code, and i can't figure out how the "insert shuffled" command picks what position each track is inserted
20:33:31hardeepFalco98: it would be a little messy because of the recursion... we don't have a complete list of all the subdirectories available
20:33:43Falco98yeah
20:33:54Falco98that seems to be the biggest obstacle
20:33:56hardeepinsert shuffled inserts the next track at some point between current playing track and end of playlist
20:34:04hardeepbut that's not what you'd want to use
20:34:22hardeepinstead, take a look at playlist_insert_directory()... that's where you'd want to make the changes you suggest
20:34:29Falco98how about when you "insert shuffled" on an entire file tree?
20:35:00hardeepsame thing, it inserts randomly between 1 and N where N is number of tracks
20:35:03Falco98i'm already in "add_directory_to_playlist", which seems to be the true recursive function
20:35:08Falco98what, it inserts in-order?
20:35:23hardeepinsert what in-order?
20:35:34hardeepit goes through the directories in order and inserts each track randomly
20:36:07Falco98ah
20:36:26Falco98for some reason i thought if i did "insert shuffled" on my root music folder, it would basically be a random-all
20:36:27Falco98no?
20:36:28hardeephmmm, there might be an optimization I can do there... if we're inserting shuffled, no reason to sort the tracks
20:36:53hardeepFalco98: yeah, it would be a random-all
20:37:14hardeepsince the tracks are being inserted randomly
20:37:16Falco98oh.. it steps through every track (recursively) inserting *that track* into a random position in the playlist-so-far?
20:37:30hardeepyes
20:37:33Falco98ahh
20:37:36Falco98that makes sense
20:37:40Falco98hmm
20:38:05hardeepif directory cache is enabled, you may be able to get a list of all subdirectories
20:38:18Falco98i wonder if it would be possible to do that kind of thing for "random folder insert".. it would only need to keep index positions for where each "album" ends
20:39:12Falco98how much more code would that take, do you think? having it create a temporary index list, indexing the album start/end positions for the playlist it's generating?
20:39:13hardeepyeah, that may work
20:39:31Falco98then when it goes to insert the next folder, it picks one of those positions at random and inserts the whole folder in order...
20:39:56hardeephmmm
20:40:51Falco98that would completely negate the need for any current directory listing
20:41:14Falco98and wouldn't put any (or much?) more stress on the system than the current "insert shuffled"
20:41:15 Quit damaki_ (Read error: 110 (Connection timed out))
20:41:38hardeepi don't think it would be all that hard to add actually
20:42:04hardeepjust thinking if there are any corner cases you'd need to watch out for
20:42:21Falco98maybe some really weird ones
20:42:34Falco98but as long as the "index" idea handles "first" and "last" cases well..
20:42:55hardeepeasiest way would be to limit the number of directories to a few hundred so that you could just use the stack for storage
20:43:14Falco98the big problem i can think of is it would require fucking with the current way the recursive function determines a random position.. but then again, i'm new enough to this code so it may be easier than i think
20:43:21Falco98yeah
20:43:33Falco98well the H140 says it only handles 2000 folders anyway
20:43:37hardeepyou wouldn't want to use the insert_shuffled option
20:43:45Paul_The_NerdYou don't even need to save end-indexes for albums
20:43:46Falco98and the "index" would only thus be 200 or so integers
20:43:48Paul_The_NerdJust star-indexes
20:43:50Paul_The_Nerdstart
20:43:54Falco98yeah
20:43:58Paul_The_NerdThen, when randomly inserting, you do it at "random start-1"
20:44:09hardeepinstead, you would specify an exact position
20:44:14Falco98well when i mention start-and-end i am only being complete :-P
20:45:00Paul_The_NerdBut all ends are going to be start-1 of the next one anyway. Save on a bit of storage. ;-) The only problem case there is if it's the start of the first album, or if you want to place it after the last one.
20:45:10Falco98indeed
20:45:40Falco98really all you need is a list of numbers separated by .. arbitrary non-integer (whitespace, newline, comma)
20:45:51Falco980,12,25,etc
20:45:54hardeepi think an array would be easier
20:46:14Falco98oh i guess the index list would change every time something is inserted in the middle though
20:46:29hardeepkeep track what albums have been inserted where
20:46:30Falco98yeah an array makes more sense
20:46:32klrspzahhh
20:46:37klrspzmy settings were wiped :(
20:46:40hardeepand then randomly choose a "slot" for the next album
20:46:50Falco98at this point i'm still thinking visually instead of code :-P
20:46:56hardeep(somewhere between beginning and last album)
20:47:35Falco98yeah
20:47:54Falco98so what would the array contain.. just the number of tracks on each album?
20:48:23hardeepindex where either the first or last track of the album is located
20:48:28hardeepin the playlist
20:48:40Falco98and when you choose a "slot", you tell it to insert the tracks at array[0] + array[1] .... +array [i]
20:48:54klrspzdoes the latest CVS build wipe configs?
20:48:56Falco98hmm
20:49:06hardeepno, it would be array[slot]+1, array[slot]+2, etc
20:49:23Falco98klrspz: i think so.. you should save your settings by doing "write .cfg" before you update to latest build
20:49:43klrspzyeah, i had an older one luckily.. but stil gotta make some changes... oh well..
20:49:55Falco98hardeep: but then when a new album is inserted somewhere in the middle, wouldn't all the other array members need to be shifted?
20:50:12hardeepFalco98: yes, that's the idea

21:08:05lookupi have a question, where do i put my music files?
21:08:13Paul_The_NerdPeople seem to think 3.0 will magically solve all the world's problems
21:08:19lookupfor rockbox on a 4g ipod
21:08:24Paul_The_Nerdlookup: I don't understand the question... you put them wherever you want.
21:08:33lookupo ok
21:08:59Falco98personally i put them in Music/artist/album/
21:09:03klrspzlookup, i put them in the root.. i have a folder for songs, a folder for audio books,
21:09:04klrspzetc
21:09:04Falco98but that's completely up to you
21:09:27klrspzthen i tell RB to only show supported files
21:09:39Falco98paul_the_nerd: i admit it will be nice, at least, having an "official" iriver release
21:09:56Falco98even though i suppose it won't make much of a real difference
21:10:30Paul_The_NerdFalco98: Yeah, but people seemed to think we were somehow "holding out" when it wasn't out on the 1st.
21:10:54Paul_The_NerdFalco98: Even though if we had released on the 1st it would've been exactly the same as essentially the daily build for that day, plus maybe an installer to make it a bit easier to install.
21:11:30Falco98oh, an iriver installer?
21:11:35Falco98what would it do, per se?
21:12:26Paul_The_NerdProbably ask you to point it at a firmware.hex, patch it for you, copy the patched file, a rockbox.iriver and a .rockbox to your unit, then tell you to turn it on, and upgrade firmware, I imagine. I don't know if it's really been discussed too much
21:12:42lookupmy ipod has all of my music files as different letters without the full name is there anything that i could do? (these are full Albums
21:13:12lookuplike the title of a song would be TREW
21:14:05Falco98lookup: do you use iTunes to transfer all your music?
21:14:14lookupi used to...
21:14:20lookuplol i started using sharepod
21:14:37Paul_The_Nerdlookup: Have you read about TagCache in our wiki?
21:14:46lookupno..
21:14:53lookuphow do i use it?
21:15:16Paul_The_NerdIt's explained on the wiki page named TagCache, and it sorts your music by ID3 tag similar to the original Ipod interface
21:15:30lookupok thanks i'll go check it out

21:20:01lookuphow do i use it?
21:20:20Paul_The_NerdI told you, it's explained at the TagCache wiki page.
21:21:14lookupwhere's the tagcache wiki page?
21:21:30Falco98http://www.rockbox.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/TagCache
21:21:36amiconnNow, lets see where thi swill lead...
21:21:38Bagderdid you even _try_ to find it?
21:21:38klrspzhas anyone complained about the bookmarking system? i'm not sure if i should submit a bug-type thing
21:21:53lookupof course i did badger
21:21:56*amiconn acquired a TOTX173 ans some components for building a converter
21:23:01Paul_The_Nerdlookup: Odd, because if you type TagCache into the search box at Rockbox.org, the first result is the right one. And if you go to our wiki and type it into the "Go To" box you end up right there...
21:23:08Falco98i just did a simple search for "tagcache" on the wiki (from its front page) and what it returned was unusable
21:23:24Falco98http://www.rockbox.org/twiki/bin/viewauth/Main/WebHome?topic=tagcache
21:23:32Paul_The_NerdFalco98: Yeah, but I didn't ever type tagcache
21:23:39Falco98ah
21:23:51Falco98oh and i did that wrong too.. i typed it into the "go to page:" box
21:24:18Falco98(which is, conveniently enough, right next to a "search" link)
21:24:23lookupjust found it.
21:24:23lookuplol
21:24:24Paul_The_NerdFalco98: I always typed TagCache. The Go To box isn't a search box. Besides, it also points to TagCache in the "Similar Topics" portion if you use tagcache
21:24:40lookuphow will i know when it's done updating the tag cache thing.
21:25:19Paul_The_Nerdlookup: When it stops accessing the disk.
21:25:31klrspzor check the tagcache info in the debug menu
21:25:49Falco98Paul_The_Nerd: i didn't realize it was case sensitive, either :-P

21:27:00buraiantoklrspz, what problem are you seeing?
21:27:08Falco98i haven't used bookmarks yet...
21:27:38blindhell yeah, got my brand new ipod from apple today :)
21:27:44klrspzburaianto, when stopping, if i have it ask, the time that i hold PLAY/PAUSE to hit yes/no vs. saving and going to the file manager is impossible to perfect
21:28:19Paul_The_NerdSo, bad button assignments on the iPod relating to that?
21:28:29klrspzthat's part of it, yes
21:28:41klrspzit seems like i have to hold pause for 1.5 sec, 2.5 sec is stop, but 2.51 is stop; ask for bookmark; then go to menu without letting you decide
21:29:21klrspzi removed the asking cuz it was just doing it anyway and delaying me by about 1-2 secs as it popped up that box saying "Bookmark saved" as if i even had the opportunity to decide
21:29:33buraiantoI am having problems with bookmarking, but I don't have it set to ask
21:29:49klrspzwhat probs are YOU having?
21:30:36buraiantoit seems like when there is a bookmark set in a directory, when I later click on a file to play via the file manager then it displays the wps, then exits back to the file manager and says it created a bookmark
21:30:55buraiantoI need to reclick on the file to get it to play
21:31:06klrspzi think i've had that happen to me a couple times
21:31:21klrspzthe bugs are so skitzy in that area that i'm not sure how to repeat some of the issues i've been having
21:31:33buraiantobut my build is a couple of weeks old and i haven't bothered to check if it's still there in newer builds
21:31:45klrspzi just got the bleeding edge like an hour ago
21:31:51klrspzbut i won't be able to test till tonight anyway
21:33:11Paul_The_Nerdburaianto: There are newer builds many times a day in most cases. You should really try a CVS one before even saying you're encountering problems.

22:02:37Paul_The_NerdGenre9mp3: Well, at least one of them is using the experimental build. Maybe more. It seems odd that nobody in our forums has reported the problem.
22:03:27Genre9mp3Paul_The_Nerd: Yes but it is probably a bootloader issue, right?
22:03:53Genre9mp3How can a build create such a problem?
22:04:02Paul_The_NerdGenre9mp3: Not necessarily. I mean, the H300 bootloader version is essentially ancient. If it was a bootloader problem it *should've* cropped up before now.
22:04:24Paul_The_NerdWell, it depends on where the H300 Retail firmware stores its settings
22:05:34Genre9mp3Paul_The_Nerd: Yes, It seems weird for me, too. So a build with some patches can srew up th settings of the retail OS
22:05:45Paul_The_NerdGenre9mp3: If those settings are say, stored to disk, easily.

22:11:55Genre9mp3Yes, but It could be also a CVS thing if it's because of something with the settings...I'm not in my home city now, when I go back, I'm going to have some tests...

22:18:35PaulJambut i'm using a patched build too, so it can be that a patch causes it
22:18:42Paul_The_NerdPaulJam: The thing is, I've never seen it reported at the Rockbox boards, and I haven't yet read someone confirm they're using the CVS build. With the number of people using it, I'd think someone with CVS would've stumbled across it to. I'm not ruling out CVS, I just am saying what I've seen.

22:32:41Paul_The_NerdI use Foobar2000, but that's because I have a very mixed-format collection, and it was nice to just lump it _all_ together
22:32:43DarkJesusDamn!
22:32:54DarkJesusCan I have another (two)?
22:32:59Mikachuyes ):
22:33:01Mikachu:)*
22:33:11Genre9mp3I use Mp3Tag and The Godfather for tagging my files
22:33:23Genre9mp3mainly Mp3Tag though
22:33:25DarkJesusDoes rockbox support monkey's adio (.ape)
22:33:40Paul_The_NerdNo.
22:34:01Paul_The_NerdAnd it's fairly unlikely that it will on any of the current targets. Too CPU intensive for them, and if I understand very x86-centric
22:34:06DarkJesusDamn
22:34:24DarkJesusWhat would you say is the best lossless codec supported by rockbox?
22:34:29 Quit bluey^afk (Remote closed the connection)
22:34:30Falco98FLAC
22:34:40amiconnlostlogic: Part of this volume weirdness on ipod is very probably the pretended prescaler handling which isn't happening for real
22:34:51DarkJesusNot wavpack?
22:35:03Paul_The_NerdFLAC's codec is faster right now, I believe.
22:35:07DarkJesusCool
22:35:11Genre9mp3I agree with Falco98...FLAC is probably the best
22:35:30Genre9mp3FLAC is generally faster than any other lossless codec
22:35:34Paul_The_NerdIn fact, it's very hard to make FLAC need to boost at all on Coldfire targets
22:35:38 Quit Rhapsody ("Leaving")
22:35:56Paul_The_NerdOn the other hand, I think you can get slightly smaller files with Wavpack, can't you?
22:36:08Falco98maybe
22:36:16DarkJesusBut the difference is pretty negligable though, right?
22:36:17Falco98but is wavpack open-source?
22:36:19Paul_The_NerdWhich may actually result in balancing out the battery life.
22:36:31Falco98and does it have limitlessly extensible tagging?
22:36:34Paul_The_NerdFalco98: Well, we use it, and our code is GPL licensed.
22:36:36DarkJesusWavpack is open-source
22:36:36Genre9mp3Paul_The_Nerd: Yes...and with APE, too...but as you said.....sligtly
22:36:45Falco98ok
22:36:50DarkJesusSo what would/do you lot use?
22:36:59Paul_The_NerdGenre9mp3: Well, the slightly could balance out for the faster decode time, plus Wavpack has better seeking support
22:37:01Falco98i actually don't know anything about wavpack yet so i'm asking for real :-P
22:37:18DarkJesusI don't have a lot of space to encode all my music in lossless
22:37:23Paul_The_NerdDarkJesus: I use FLAC, but there are sound enough arguments for using wavpack lossless as well.
22:37:25Genre9mp3yes...you are right about the seeking...
22:37:27DarkJesusBut I could always do it with some favourites
22:37:36Falco98use FLAC :)
22:37:40lostlogicamiconn: what's this about pretend prescaler?
22:37:45DarkJesusBut it will definitely be between those two, right?
22:37:46Paul_The_NerdOne of them being that our wavpack decoder was written by the guy who wrote wavpack. ;-)
22:37:54Genre9mp3but maybe the problems with seeking get fixed soon
22:37:56DarkJesusNo ape?
22:38:09Paul_The_NerdAs I said, we can't support Ape.
22:38:23DarkJesusI have some ape files, but I can always transcode without losing a single bit of sound quality, right?
22:38:32goffayeah DarkJesus
22:38:35goffaflac works great
22:38:45DarkJesusAwesome
22:39:03Paul_The_NerdI'd suggest FLAC with 1s seekpoints.
22:39:12Paul_The_NerdAt highest compression
22:39:29goffai'm with paul on that
22:40:41amiconnlostlogic: sound.c pretends to handle a prescaler for the WM* codecs, but it doesn't do this for real
22:41:23amiconnThe code looks like copy-n-paste from the UDA1380, and it looks like it was done by someone who didn't really know what this code is for
22:41:34goffahow is whatsHisName from the forum doing on wma?
22:41:46goffaor has he decided to not share and just drop a bomb?

22:58:54Mikachuyes and no
22:58:57marc_in_luxthe ipod screen is very bright in a dark room...

23:02:26Falco98not undisputed

23:03:18marc_in_luxMikachu, just playing that file? It'll recognise? Cool :-)
23:03:19Paul_The_Nerdmarc_in_lux: You can just click on config files, like you do to play music. Store them in the root, or some random folder that you can easily get to them, and you don't need to pass through menus
23:03:47DarkJesusOK, I'm booting into linux

23:06:55preglowall the usual open source jazz
23:07:05lostlogicamiconn: it's really just a matter of starting the playback at the right point −− after ~1/4s of music has been decoded, where for music we don't start until about a second is decoded, IIRC.
23:07:16lostlogicswitch that first music to voice
23:08:06amiconnThe problem is not the start... it's the missing flush when talk.c:shutup() is called
23:09:59lostlogicamiconn: ah, well in that case, yes, we should use the flush functionality −− I just added it in the new 'correct' way when I reworked crossfade the other week.
23:10:20lostlogicit used to be an abuse of the crossfade system instead of what it is now.

23:56:22Paul_The_NerdFalco98: Yup. When the power cuts off, I *think* it shuts down. Or maybe just stops the music. Can't remember which. (Of course, Stopped Music can lead to Idle Off anyway)
23:56:30amiconnpreglow: The iriver does receive it. spdif monitor shows sample rate, category etc, recording monitor thru uda1380 working fine. Just no validity flag...
23:56:47Falco98Paul_The_Nerd: i was hoping it might have something to do with the fact that my tape adapter only plays through the right channel :-/
23:56:58preglowamiconn: is it possible that the archos just doesn't set it?
23:57:08preglowamiconn: on coldfire, i can actually choose whether to have the validity bit set or not

23:57:49Paul_The_NerdFalco98: It sounds like a bad tape adapter then.
23:57:51amiconnThat's what I'm trying to find out. There is a bit for setting the validity of the spdif output, but (1) I believe it has a slightly different meaning and (2) it is set correctly
23:58:24amiconnMaybe the mas is playing tricks, like setting the signal to invalid when not setting the correct channel status for output or such
