00:09:09sharpewell, that was only this afternoon. :)
00:09:21HeibonJooHey, how is work going on the Ipod's for detecting how much RAM is on the device?
00:09:42HeibonJooIm asking because My info says My buffer is < 32MB
00:09:49markunBagder: what was that guy thinking?!
00:10:03BagderI don't think it thinks at all
00:10:18linuxstbHeibonJoo: Someone in the forums figured out how to build Rockbox for the 5g with support for 64MB of RAM, but the detection isn't done at runtime - you need to change the source and recompile.
00:11:07HeibonJooThey made an already built one, but its built off the May 25th CVS build
00:11:19HeibonJooAnd I just got done reading that article in its entirety.
00:11:34HeibonJooand it said at the end they are working on a way to detect RAM
00:12:27HeibonJooThey're working on a better way to detect RAM, because it's possible that future device (and 80gig 5G?) will happen, and it'd be better not to depend on HD size. Especially since if a good method is determined, one could use it for other targets that may have multiple RAM sizes, if I understand.

00:12:39linuxstbIt's not as simple as just detecting how much RAM is available - the codecs and plugins expect to be loaded and run at the end of RAM. So if the end of RAM is different for different players, then it won't work.
00:13:25HeibonJoo... just what the administrator says :(
00:13:40linuxstbIt's been discussed before though - a possible solution is to move the codecs and plugins to the very start of RAM, instead of the end.
00:13:50Bagdermoving the plugins/codecs should be hard
00:13:54BagderNOT
00:14:01Bagderdarn, can't type today either
00:14:05HeibonJooThen do it muahahaha!

00:15:25Bagderkiaxdc: correct
00:15:32kiaxdcoh well lol
00:16:03HeibonJooAny howtos on how to compile the build yourself?
00:16:08Bagderyes
00:16:17Bagdercheck the docs and wiki links
00:16:22linuxstbFebs: That should mean everything's OK - i.e. the rockbox.whatever file has been loaded and the checksum/model verified.
00:16:41HeibonJoochecking
00:17:07linuxstbFebs: So it's not an error - just a status message.
00:17:25FebsHmmmm. I'm trying to help out this guy: http://forums.rockbox.org/index.php?topic=4486.0
00:17:52FebsHe says the bootloader gets to that point and then stops. He never sees the Roickbox splash screen.
00:18:41FebsRoickbox/Rockbox
00:19:40HeibonJoosweet. Rockbox wiki extremely helpful
00:20:17linuxstbFebs: The next (only) thing the bootloader does after displaying "Result:0" is to jump to the entry point in Rockbox. So it would seem that Rockbox itself is crashing before it displays anything.
00:20:44sharpedid he build rockbox himself? or is he using a daily/cvs build?
00:21:17FebsReading the thread, he seems to have tried the latest daily build.
00:21:23sharpeooh

04:29:19aghasteri'm fine
04:29:25aghasteri've been building my first build.
04:29:45Falco98oh, have you made changes?
04:30:20aghasternot yet
04:30:28aghasterexcept half-translating it to esperanto
04:30:29aghasterlol
04:30:35aghasterbut i wanna mod it
04:31:11aghasterFalco98, I'd like to see the dejavu font added to rockbox
04:31:31aghasteri don't have the time to look at it tonight, because i'm going. but if you have time and would like to check that :P
04:31:32Falco98what's that?
04:31:50aghastera font that supports lots of foreign characters
04:32:04aghasterit would be very useful as the default font for rockbox
04:32:32Paul_The_NerdJust use fontforge to convert it, no?
04:32:47aghasteri'll do that, i need to convert it to fnt?
04:32:53aghasterhttp://dejavu.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php/Main_Page
04:33:05Paul_The_NerdTo BDF
04:33:28Paul_The_NerdThen use bdfconv to make it a fnt, if I recall
04:33:29aghasterthe fonts folder i needed to add to my rockbox dir was loaded with .fnt files
04:33:33aghasterok

05:21:26KratosI'm compiling rockbox, and I cant seem to find the bitmap where the boot-up logo is
05:21:36KratosI'm on a iPod5g
05:22:39JdGordonFalco98: did u see hardeep fixed the bug :D
05:22:47Falco98oh, the shuffle bug?
05:22:51JdGordonye
05:22:52Falco98no, where can i read about it?
05:23:13JdGordonits the most recent cvs commit
05:23:25Drazzyhmm, do i have to format my ipod before installing rockbox?
05:23:34Falco98oh yeah, just saw it
05:23:36JdGordononly if u dont have a fat32 partition
05:23:40Drazzyum
05:23:41Drazzy:P
05:23:45Drazzyi dont know if i do
05:23:50Falco98i wonder if it works 100% with our patch, jd?
05:23:53Kratosgo to my computer
05:23:55Drazzyi always formatted using the apple software
05:24:00Kratosassuming that it is a winpod
05:24:08Drazzyits win
05:24:08JdGordondunno... i would guess it would
05:24:16Drazzyi went properties on my ipod drive and it says fat32
05:24:27Kratosright click on your iPod and go to the properties
05:24:30Kratosoh
05:24:31Drazzyyeah, i did.
05:24:39Drazzy16.7gb used, 1.81gb free
05:24:40Drazzyfat32
05:25:18Drazzydo i have to format it at all now?
05:25:18JdGordonso your good to go
05:25:25Drazzyi dont need to get rid of all my music?
05:25:28JdGordonnop
05:25:36Drazzy:O and rockbox will read all my current music?
05:25:42Drazzyi transfered it all using Anapod, not iTunes
05:25:44JdGordonyes, but u need to use tagcache
05:25:53Drazzyhm
05:25:56Kratosdont worry about that
05:26:01Kratosit's in the latest build
05:26:03JdGordondoes anapod put it into dirs? or fucks it like itunes?
05:26:10Drazzyi have no idea, JdGordon
05:26:27Falco98Drazzy: the easy way to find out is just look on the ipod's disk
05:26:40Falco98if it's a recognizable file / dir structure you should be good
05:26:43Kratoshe means, dies anapod irganice your music into folders for like artists/albums
05:26:47Kratos*does
05:26:48Paul_The_NerdJdGordon: I think it tried to do directories, but will crop names if they're over the limit. I could be wrong, as I haven't used it, just seen it discussed.

05:30:40Drazzywhen i type ipod_fw -o apple_os.bin -e 0 bootpartition.bin, it says that ipod_fw isnt a recognized command
05:31:48Drazzyany ideas, guys?
05:32:42JdGordonwhve u got the ipod_fw program?
05:33:09Drazzywhat?
05:33:25Drazzythe guide doesnt say to download a program called ipod_fw
05:33:34Drazzyoh yes it does
05:33:36Drazzyim an idiot.
05:33:46Drazzycan i close ipodpatcher now, or should i keep it open
05:34:20Drazzynevemrind, figuredit uot
05:36:50Drazzyk one last question
05:37:10Drazzyim about to copy over the rockbock files to the ipod now.. do i just view the ipod in Explorer and drop .rockbox there?
05:37:23JdGordonyup
05:37:29JdGordondont forget rockbox.ipod
05:37:32Drazzyyeah
05:37:43Drazzyk copying
05:38:18 Quit TeaSea ("Leaving")
05:38:20Drazzyk so.. if i want to go back to the original apple software.. im sure thats just as easy right
05:38:54JdGordonsome1 else will be able to tell u.. but i think pressing a button (dunno which) starts the oriiongal firwmare
05:39:01JdGordonso u can "dual boot"
05:40:03Drazzyokay cool
05:40:06Drazzynow... im in rockbox
05:40:10Drazzyi dont see any of my music
05:40:10Paul_The_NerdHolding Menu while it boots, yes.
05:40:29Paul_The_NerdDrazzy: iTunes hides the music. You can either copy it over in disk mode, or use TagCache to search for and index your music by Tag. Either method works
05:40:52Drazzyhow do i do the tagcache method
05:41:27Drazzyah found a guide online for it
05:41:31JdGordonmenu > settings > file > force tagcache update
05:41:37Drazzyhow much space am i going to need on the ipod for this?
05:41:45JdGordon2mb..
05:41:53Drazzyok :)
05:42:09Drazzyhope it doesnt take TOO long
05:42:34JdGordonfor this? <- rockbox or tagcache?
05:42:45Drazzytagcache.
05:42:51Drazzyi did the force tag cache update
05:42:53Drazzybut i dont know if its done or not
05:42:57JdGordonoh, dunno... not much space..
05:43:00JdGordonit will take a while
05:43:15Drazzyfuck i think it froze..
05:43:24Drazzyi cant use the scroll wheel right now and the backlight is stuck on
05:43:34JdGordonu can se its progres in the menu > info > debug > tagcache
05:43:56Drazzywhat should i do now>
05:44:48JdGordonwiat... or reset..
05:45:07Drazzyhaha holy crap
05:45:13Drazzyprogress: -`%
05:45:23Paul_The_NerdThe progress isn't reliable on iPod

05:48:27Drazzyshould i just.. leave it on like this for a bit? or restart and try again?
05:48:30Paul_The_NerdTagCache has had issues with files that have embedded album art in the past, though I don't know if that's whta this is.
05:48:37Drazzyoh shit
05:48:43Drazzyalot of my mp3s have embedded album art.
05:49:41Drazzyugh, so i pretty much have to wipe my ipod clean and start over i take it?
05:50:26Paul_The_NerdWhy would you have to wipe your iPod?
05:50:45Drazzytag cache seems to hate my mp3s that are on there
05:50:57Drazzyso i figured id have to wipe it and put them in manually once rockbox was on there.

07:26:43B4gderthe nano is way lighter it seems
07:27:53daurn|laptopgrr
07:27:57daurn|laptopi don't like apple
07:28:20B4gderthen join the work on the ifp-799 port for the iriver flash players ;-)
07:28:59daurn|laptopi'm actually looking to buy the smallest mp3player i can find
07:29:03daurn|laptop(for a good price)
07:29:14daurn|laptopand thought i might check with good 'ol rockbox
07:29:14daurn|laptop:P
07:29:29B4gderthat's probably one of those USB stick/memorycard combos
07:30:00Paul_The_NerdNah
07:30:05Paul_The_NerdIt's the MobiBlu Cube
07:30:08daurn|laptopsmallest seems to be eg, mobiblu
07:30:09Paul_The_NerdVery small
07:30:12daurn|laptop:P
07:30:19BHSPitLappythe nano is weirdly small
07:30:20B4gderheh
07:30:23Paul_The_NerdThere's one smaller, but it actually has larger dimensions in two of them, it's just thinner
07:30:25Paul_The_NerdSo less volume
07:30:28daurn|laptopbut mobiblu supposedly has HORRIBLE battery life
07:30:29daurn|laptop:P
07:30:43BHSPitLappyis that the little cube Phillips makes?
07:30:45Paul_The_NerdThe iFP-799 isn't terribly small (not big either) but it's much more sturdy feeling than the Nano, and all around quite nice
07:31:29daurn|laptopiriver?

08:36:36Slasheriamiconn: hmm, i am working with implementing the file removal. The simpler way of first just marking all deleted entries wouldn't be hard to do. But to remove the entries from the db for real requires temporary file to be built from the db and then the db should be committed from scratch against that file (should be still faster than rebuilding db from scratch)
08:39:36amiconnI think just marking the deleted files should be sufficient. Maybe one could force a cleanup from time to time
08:40:14Slasheriyes, that sounds good
08:41:11amiconn(or maybe force a rebuild if more than x percent free space)
08:43:04Slasherihmm, yep. or just if we have for example more than 15% of deleted files from all files in db, then force a rebuild
08:43:52 Join muesli|delhi [0] (n=muesli_t@125.23.48.113)
08:43:53Paul_The_NerdOr how 'bout make the "Force TagCache update" do both proper removal and use marking for the automated updates?
08:45:27amiconnThat would probably make an update on archos significantly slower
08:45:34Slasherithat proper deleting would be still quite battery hungry at least if we do it every time one file has been removed
08:45:46amiconn..or for anyone who is using tagcache without dircache
08:46:09Slasheriyep
08:46:25Slasherieven without dircache searching for the new and deleted files will be much slower
08:48:01Slasherior one possibility would be even to enable dircache for archos with a special mode to index only supported files just before starting tagcache update
08:48:14Slasheribut that would still eat more ram from the code space..
08:48:37Slasheriand then it couldn't be done on background

09:16:01amiconnSlasheri: Tagcache adds about 8KB to the archos recorder binary size. Main buffer size is decreased by 48KB (dircache still disabled). Building the dircache takes ~16 seconds on my recorder (4774 files, 393 dirs). The dircache itself takes 402KB. It seems to be working fine.
09:18:53amiconnNot really desirable on standard archos, but if someone has done the 8MB mod, and is browsing a lot, he could enable dircache in his personal build

09:20:44peturamiconn: would recording from s/pdif require more cpu than from analog in?
09:20:57amiconnThe interesting thing is that building the dircache is quite fast even on archos
09:21:13amiconnpetur: Nope, but it requires a tiny bit more battery power
09:21:23peturhttp://forums.rockbox.org/index.php?topic=4534.0
09:21:26amiconnWe need to power the spdif circuit
09:21:58peturunboosted recording wasn't ok. I do need to test line-in recording with a pure sine to check for glitches
09:22:07peturonly tested with an audio track
09:26:06amiconnSince he tested with a sine, maybe it's not a glitch caused by the boost/unboost, but something completely different I was hunting on archos for several weeks before the 2.5 release?
09:26:59peturI'm sure it's not the boost/unboost since he had the glitches at the beginning. I only boost/unboost when writing wav to disk
09:27:23peturI just asked him to test to be 100% sure
09:27:44amiconnIf the recording is about to save, and the file write needs to *search* for the next free cluster because the fsinfo block was invalid, the search took very long due to other things eating too much cpu power, so the buffer wrapped meanwhile and the beginning of the recording was completely garbled
09:27:50peturbtw, did you see the post about the remote adding noise when recording?
09:27:59Slasheriamiconn: ah, interesting. it should be fast, because it uses fat_ functions directly to do the recursion
09:28:51amiconnThis was very hard to find until I enabled mp3 frame numbering in the mas. Then I could see that the garbage at the beginning had higher block numbers than the following part...
09:29:44petursooo... lower the watermarklevel a bit... a bit more frequent saves, more batt power :)

09:30:56amiconnThe question is whether this may be the case here. Iirc the pcm recording stops when it's about to wrap, so it won't overwrite unsaved data
09:31:21amiconnBut of course this will still cause a glitch, because then a part of the recording is missing
09:31:26peturand recording stops if buffer wraparound is detected
09:31:32amiconnyeps
09:31:38peturhmmmm
09:31:45amiconnHmm, you mean the whole recording stops?
09:31:49peturI do need to test line-in with a sine too
09:31:56amiconnI thought it only pauses until save
09:32:12peturmust check the code but I think it kills dma
09:32:19amiconnA good test method would probably be to record a slow sine sweep
09:32:30peturyeah

09:54:16whatboutbobJust ran one 3 min recording then four 15 second recordings. The first 3 had glitches...on the first one it *may* have been me changing the volume (not the gain)

12:30:03LinusNdo they?
12:30:29preglowwell, long (outside current buffer) flac seeks fail and he said it applied to all codecs
12:30:40preglownasty bug
12:31:59preglowlostlogic: any reason why codec_pcmbuf_insert_split_callback doesn't just wait with calling dsp_process until it has room for the entire chunk to fit in the pcmbuf?
12:33:53LinusNmaybe it's a latency thing?
12:34:35 Join Moos [0] (n=d596b23e@labb.contactor.se)
12:34:36preglowsounds dubious, unless i'm mistaken, there's always room for the whole chunk unless we're at the top end of the pcm buffer
12:34:49MoosHello from Tunisia guys
12:34:52preglowso it'll trigger rarely, but when it does, it splits the chunk all over the place
12:35:22Mooswow, freeze was extended?
12:35:44preglowMoos: it'll probably be extended a while more
12:35:52preglowno point in a release if it isn't good

12:36:42Moosthat make sense
12:36:46preglowindeed
12:37:06preglowyeah, it did occur to me too
12:37:17preglowhardware bugs aren't to be trifled with
12:38:07preglowLinusN: anyway, if i'm right, it'll just waste cpu for those codecs that keep the buffer filled, since several smaller dsp_process passes will be slower (not by, though...) than one big dsp_process pass
12:38:22pregloweh, "not by much, though"
12:39:00linuxstbpreglow: lowlight suggested a fix for it last night - I've tested it and it seems to work, but given my complete lack of understanding of playback.c, I'm hesitating about committing it.
12:39:48LinusNis there a patch somewhere?
12:41:02linuxstbNo, but I'll do it now and add it to the bug report.
12:41:14linuxstb(assuming you were talking to me...)
12:41:31preglowlinuxstb: sounds great
12:42:23preglowi've been thinking of trying to dive a bit into the playback system

12:42:59LinusNi'm also working myself into it
12:43:24preglowstruggling a bit with time these days, though, but looks like i'll have some time coming up now

13:43:11JdGordonmaybe it might be good to set the cvs builds to that untill the playback issues are fixed? assuming it would give enough info to actually make tracing the pugs possible?
13:43:54LinusNi can't tell if the "quality" of the logging info is good enough
13:44:26LinusNJdGordon: the "problem" with logf() is that it captures the remote lcd for output

13:46:42linuxstbpreglow: I'm not sure what FLAC does which is special. The seeking code simply looks in the seektable for the byte in the file to seek to, seeks to it, and then continues decoding frames.
13:46:56LinusNi think we should enable logf() without the remote lcd in the cvs builds

13:53:02LinusNyes
13:53:34B4gderstill having it not touch a file is useful at times too
13:53:53B4gderlike when logging a lot or when logging in context you don't can or want file access
13:53:54JdGordonwell you would only have it enabled if u actually wanted it to debug..
13:54:05LinusNbtw, the exception handler could then display the latest entries in the log below the "illinstr:xxx" info
13:54:24Slasherihmm, i already started to look implementation of "syslog" or something like that which includes the loglevel as first parameter
13:54:36JdGordonmaybe things like use the plugin buffer as its temp buffer and dump to disk every 5min or so or when a plugin is loaded?

13:56:03JdGordondedicated buffer isnt so good coz then u have wasted ram if its not used (which i would think it wouldnt for 80% of users..)
13:56:31SlasheriJdGordon: keeping the buffer small enough for normal builds should be ok

14:08:32peturso being unable to properly use a certain remote is indeed critical
14:08:33LinusNthe h300 lcd remote control button mappings are lame
14:08:56*petur has a h100 lcd remote soon :)
14:10:15crwlthere's something kind of weird with h100 remote mapping stoo
14:10:51LinusNtell me
14:11:01*LinusN never uses the remote
14:11:07zigfordAnyone had a look at the current ipod freeze issue on greyscale?
14:11:19crwlhum, let's see
14:11:50JdGordonlinus send it my way then... /me wants one :p
14:12:00crwlLinusN, the context menu doesn't pop up with a long press of the navi/menu jogwheel, but a short press does enter directory/play file
14:13:02crwlLinusN, instead, the context pops up with a long press of the large play button
14:13:06crwl+menu
14:13:13LinusNit would be nice with a complete table of the mappings, didn't someone compile one a while ago?
14:14:03crwland because there's a separate jog wheel for volume in the remote, i think it should work from everywhere, not only WPS
14:14:06LinusNdaurn|laptop: btw, what would you use lua for if there was a lua plugin?

14:18:14LinusNJdGordon: of course it is limiting
14:18:26B4gdera dap is limited too
14:18:45LinusNthat comes mainly from the width of the remote lcd, and to keep the logf buffer small

14:48:14aliaskWill I need to run a custom build of rockbox, or is this just to find out what the base draw is going to be?
14:49:11LinusNwell, you would have to try to find out what rockbox does or doesn't do that causes this consumption
14:49:52LinusNbasically monitor the current and fiddle with the driver code
14:50:16JdGordonany1 know the define for /.rockbox of the top of your head?
14:50:22XavierGrand we are talknig about a big consumption issue. Double the normal, right?
14:51:02aliaskI haven't had much of a look in the driver code, I'll start getting myself acquainted with it so I can actually end up doing stuff. Thanks for the point in the right direction Linus.
14:52:07LinusNone of the main suspects is the usb2go chip

14:54:18LinusNtrue
14:54:43LinusNi'm working on h300 schematics btw
14:54:49XavierGrLinusN: BTW, is there a difference between H110 and H120 except the battery?

14:55:10LinusNXavierGr: h110 and h120 have the same battery
14:55:18XavierGroops I meant memory
14:55:37LinusNthe difference is the memory, the disk size and the s/pdif ctrl polarity
14:56:58XavierGryeha the disk size is obvious. I kust wondered the differences between the 2 in the source. Is it just a line or two?

15:00:27XavierGrLinus: The same applies for iPod5g (different RAM size) wouldn't it be possible to make those share the same builds? Though I think this would need restructurtin some parts of code about memory placeing...
15:00:32 Join damaki_ [0] (n=Chocolat@ALille-153-1-72-160.w86-196.abo.wanadoo.fr)
15:01:36B4gderXavierGr: yes it would be possible
15:01:39LinusNyes, it should be possible, if the plugin/codec buffers would be moved
15:02:22LinusNthe problem is that we would lose plugin compatibility, as the plugin buffer location wouldn't be constant anymore
15:02:37JdGordondo we want to show all errors greater than a level.. or be able to show all msgs from diff parts of the system?
15:02:38XavierGrThat would ease up the servers (not that they have a problem) and the confusion on some newcomers to download a specific build.
15:03:09LinusNJdGordon: maybe both
15:03:21linuxstbLinusN: Couldn't we just put the plugin/codec buffers at the very start of RAM - before Rockbox itself?
15:03:22LinusNa bitmask for the subsystem and an integer for the level
15:03:23JdGordonboth isnt so easy...
15:03:36JdGordonok, that will work
15:03:48LinusNlinuxstb: good idea
15:03:55JdGordoncept im only using char for the level to save space.. still should be ok tho
15:04:17JdGordonnope, char wont be big enough..
15:04:26XavierGrSo is the plugin buffer going to be 1024K for iPod 5g?
15:04:45LinusNJdGordon: it doesn't have to be in the same argument
15:04:50linuxstbXavierGr: Why would it need to be bigger?
15:05:07XavierGrbecause I think there is an analogy between RAM and plugin buffer
15:05:18JdGordonstoring the level in an array with the actual message.. so trying to keep mem usage down
15:05:22Mikachuthat would just lead to plugins only working on ipods
15:06:22B4gderXavierGr: there really is no such connection
15:06:50XavierGrlinuxstb: Iirc that was the reason why we reduced the H100 plugin buffer to 512 from 768.
15:06:50JdGordon6 bits for system section, 2 for error level.. thats enough ye?
15:07:03JdGordoninfo/warning/error and 6 subsystems..
15:07:03Mikachumaking the codec buffer smaller and the pcm buffer larger on nanos/other flash devices would be good
15:07:06linuxstbXavierGr: IMO, the plugin buffer should only be as large as the largest plugin needs it to be.
15:07:18LinusNJdGordon: make it 16
15:07:24LinusNbits
15:07:29B4gderor rather as small as the largest requires ;-)
15:07:30JdGordonshort int is 16?
15:07:41linuxstbXavierGr: I can't remember but I'm sure that's why it was reduced to 512KB.
15:07:54B4gderJdGordon: yes
15:07:58JdGordonk
15:08:48XavierGrRAM size / 64 is the formula.
15:09:05XavierGrThat's why on archos is 32kb and later on it was reduced to H100 to match that.
15:09:15B4gderno
15:09:20B4gderthat's not the reason
15:09:22linuxstbThat was probably just an excuse...
15:09:26B4gderand its not the logic we use
15:09:41B4gderlike the h100 and h120 use the same plugin size
15:09:49XavierGrah yes
15:09:53B4gderand x5 and h300
15:09:54B4gderetc etc
15:10:15XavierGrnow that seems more logical.
15:10:35XavierGrI just connected the plugin reduction on H100 with that.
15:11:37XavierGrWhat about dynamic change in plugin Buffer? A menu to select how many kb you want and then a reboot to apply changes. :D
15:11:59XavierGrI think I am starting to become annoying :p
15:12:01B4gderyeah, and another option "do you want to shoot yourself in the foot?"
15:12:35peturoh no, dynamic memory allocation :D
15:12:36MikachuXavierGr: a plugin buffer of 28MB also works fine
15:12:39linuxstbXavierGr: That won't work because it will mean the start address of the plugin buffer changes - and plugins are compiled to run at a fixed address.
15:12:40B4gderwhich then would be enabled automatically ;-)
15:12:44XavierGrMikachu: I know
15:12:55XavierGrI said about the policy of defining the size.
15:14:36JdGordoni need a define for log me no matter what.. should i do it SYSLOG_RUN_FOR_YOUR_LIFE ?? :D
15:14:47XavierGrbut anyway, it was just a scenario that I came up with. I remember someone from here compiled a build with huge plugin buffer to be able to view large jpegs while playing music!

16:15:54zigfordgoodnight rockbox!
16:17:26 Part LinusN
16:21:00linuxstblowlight: I don't think the resume bug is related.
16:21:58linuxstbIf you look around line 1725 of playback,c, you'll see that the resume code appears to be very codec-specific. It doesn't simply tell the codec to seek to a certain point.
16:22:08 Join qwx_ [0] (n=qwm@h147n2fls32o1010.telia.com)
16:22:23linuxstbBut I'm not sure how it's supposed to be working...
16:24:15lowlightI think the reporter means resume on startup, in which case it should "rebuffer_and_seek" which will cause the same flac error.
16:26:20linuxstbI don't think resume works at all with FLAC files (and others). If you look in vorbis.c, you'll see that the codec checks for a value in rb->id3->offset, and then seeks to that point. The FLAC codec doesn't include the same check.
16:26:53linuxstbAlso, vorbis calls rb->set_offset() after decoding every frame. Not every codec does that either.

17:01:13lowlightI guess I assumed that if a file was resuming (after startup) that seek_time would be non-zero and the codec would seek to the proper place to start.

17:11:07linuxstblowlight: But yes, it doesn't work like you assumed. One reason I expect is that we can't seek accurately in VBR MPEG files. So instead of asking the codec to seek to a specific time, the codec keeps track of the byte offset, and simply resumes to that byte.

17:38:31B4gderhaha, yeah that'll fix the usb ;-)
17:38:40larryoneso I'm looking for ways to get around the USBOTG problem
17:38:50HansmaulwurfToday on university I noticed that sometimes on some songs, Rockbox calculates the runtime wrong. Sometimes too short, sometimes too long. As far I could see it had something to do with the bitrate of these mp3 files which where also wrong (well, this said the WPS).
17:39:03larryoneand I have heard that there is a way that involves soldering a connection in the machine
17:39:10Hansmaulwurfi searched in the bug report page but couldnt find anything, is this bug known?
17:39:17B4gderlarryone: so read markun's link
17:39:40B4gderHansmaulwurf: it could also be messed up files
17:39:48B4gderor rather, that is very likely
17:40:14goffayeah.. i don't have that trouble on mine
17:40:15Hansmaulwurfbut when I change the track and go back to this messed up song everything is fine
17:40:19markunHansmaulwurf: VBR files?
17:40:50Hansmaulwurfand the song is played completely, only the ID-infos on the wps screen are wrong
17:41:02Hansmaulwurfmarkun: yes vbr
17:41:24Hansmaulwurfdont know if all are vbr, but the most should
17:42:03markunHansmaulwurf: see if the vbrfix plugin helps. It helped for my files where the time was wrong.
17:42:14Hansmaulwurfok I will try
17:42:45larryonehave read that link - is that red wire all that is needed to mod the US version so it will give usbotg - is there other ways using external power sources, etc?

20:24:02SpenceHello
20:24:44SpenceJust a quick question, I'm considering buying an .mp3 player for this rockbox thing- the OS and restrictions have long put me off.
20:25:21SpenceIt's kinda stupid, but can I get like a spectrum visualiser for rockbox, so it goes in sync with the music?
20:25:56*HCl wonders what restrictions and os put you off o-o
20:25:57Mikachunot a spectrum visualizer yet that i know of, but there is an oscilloscope type plugin
20:26:01linuxstbNot at the moment, but I'm sure someone will code one someday.
20:26:46SpenceI'm on a Mac, though I do use iTunes and like it- the Windows/iTunes divide is kinda lame.. I don't think I want an iPod
20:26:49Hansmaulwurf"It could be you!" (tm) Llorean
20:27:11linuxstbBuy an ipod and put Rockbox on it - it's then no longer an ipod.
20:27:14HClrockbox runs on more devices than just ipod o-o
20:27:25Spencehaha, yeah i was considering an iRiver over an iPod
20:27:34Hansmaulwurfyeah, the X5 are great players
20:27:38Spencetend to have better sound quality in reviews
20:27:40Hansmaulwurffor example
20:27:48Hansmaulwurfthe iPod?
20:28:03Hansmaulwurfwhat reviews? some from ipod fan sites?
20:28:06linuxstbThe irivers supported by Rockbox are no longer sold by iriver. Only the ipods and the iaudio X5 are easily available.
20:28:36SpenceWhat about that Toshiba Gigabeat thing I saw..?
20:29:00linuxstbRockbox isn't working yet on the Gigabeat, but the people porting it are making fast progress.
20:29:29linuxstbI've no idea what the sound quality is like on it compared to the irivers and iaudio though. markun?
20:29:56SpenceGenerally the hardware has been solid for the Cowon kit, it's the software reviewers feel plagued it : )
20:30:17Spencecomes with line in and out doesn't it with that little dongle?
20:30:27Hansmaulwurfi tested the H300 and the X5 in our local computer-shop, didnt hear a difference
20:31:05Hansmaulwurfoh, misunderstood linuxstb
20:31:29linuxstbSomeone needs to write some comparative reviews of the different Rockbox targets running Rockbox...
20:31:47*Spence nods
20:31:54 Quit rconan ("Leaving")
20:32:04Hansmaulwurfcomparing the audio-quality?
20:32:37Spencesurely that would be entirely dependant on the hardware not rockbox?
20:32:55 Quit larryone (Remote closed the connection)
20:33:40amiconnI don't know the X5 audioo, but imho the irivers have the worst sound quality in comparison of archos-iriver-ipod
20:34:28amiconnThat doesn't mean the sound quality is outright bad, but the iriver output signal is quite noisy
20:35:18Spencedoes rockbox record and encode on the fly to say .mp3 or any other compressed format?
20:35:30linuxstbYes, I find the same on my h1x0. The 4g ipod's sound is quite lifeless, so I find the 5g is my favourite to listen to out of my h140, 4g Color ipod and 5g ipod.
20:35:54linuxstbSpence: Not yet, but I would expect it in the relatively near future. Reliable recording to WAV is the priority first.
20:36:23Spenceawesome, i'm so glad i clicked this link on flickr- i'm sold
20:36:26XavierGrstrange most people claim that iriver has better audio quality
20:36:28linuxstbThere is an MP3 encoder plugin in Rockbox already, so you can record to WAV, and then encode afterwards.
20:36:32Hansmaulwurfbut I think on rockbox is a wav to mp3 encoder right?
20:36:41Hansmaulwurfyes, right :)
20:36:58SpenceXavier, i'm onlly basing this on an audiophiles review of the H320,
20:36:59linuxstb:) And it works faster than realtime, so realtime encoding is feasible.
20:37:37Spencei've not read much about other iRiver systems
20:37:54XavierGrSpence maybe I will be called a fanboy but the best thing you can get right now (if you can find one) is either an H100 on an H300
20:38:09Hansmaulwurf(amiconn) I don't know the X5 audioo, but imho the irivers have the worst sound quality in comparison of archos-iriver-ipod <−−−− imho the ipod sound quality is worse than the iriver
20:38:23linuxstbHansmaulwurf: Which ipod?
20:38:30linuxstb(and which iriver) ?
20:38:51Hansmaulwurfat least all ipods from 1G to 4G
20:38:58Hansmaulwurfcompared to the H100 series
20:39:12amiconnBoth of my irivers sound the same, with all the hiss in quiet passages (and the slightly clicking remote)
20:39:17linuxstbI don't know about 1G-3G (or the minis), but the 5g is a big leap in quality from the 4g.
20:39:25amiconnI can't hear any hiss on my ipod (mini g2)
20:39:37Hansmaulwurfmy brother has a 4G ipod and we mean both the H120 sounds better
20:39:38amiconn..and neither on archos
20:39:39Spenceyeah i've heard the 5G has nearly hit the clarity of the shuggle
20:39:45linuxstbHansmaulwurf: I agree with that comparison.
20:40:31linuxstbIt's a shame the shuffle is so unhackable - everyone says it's an excellent sounding player.
20:40:32amiconnAfaik the mini g2 has the same (or almost the same) dac as the 4g ipod
20:40:56Spencethe pez .mp3 player is based on the same chipset i think
20:40:59amiconnWhile it has no tone control at all, I still deem it better sounding than the irivers
20:41:05Spenceyou can change the heads, i suppose that's a hack
20:41:11Hansmaulwurflol
20:41:20XavierGramiconn: the hiss can't be the only argument to compare quality.
20:41:22Spencesamsung chipset, can't remember the model number
20:41:27linuxstbIt seems to be the headphone amplification in the 4g ipods that ruin the sound - i.e. what's between the DAC and the headphone socket.
20:41:35 Join webguest21 [0] (n=5686d47d@labb.contactor.se)
20:41:59amiconnXavierGr: The hiss is what's annoying me. The only other thing would be distortions, and I don't hear any distortions on any of my rockboxed players
20:42:04Hansmaulwurfamiconn: btw, what headphones or earpluges are you using?
20:42:12Spencemost of my library is 256-320kbps VBR lame .mp3s.. i can't quibble that much on quality : )
20:42:34Spence lot of you guys will use .wav/.ogg right?
20:42:44Mikachuwav for music is insane when you have flac
20:42:53amiconnSennheiser MX450
20:43:10amiconnBut most of the time I connect it to a car/home stereo
20:43:11Hansmaulwurfi have not one wav file Spence, but half of my songs are ogg
20:43:32Mikachui convert songs to ogg first (to save space, i have a 2GB nano)
20:43:33amiconn99% mp3 here, mostly lame −−preset standard
20:43:34XavierGrI am a slave of mp3...
20:43:44XavierGrme too
20:43:54linuxstbFLAC and MP2...
20:43:56Spencei only did it so i can share..
20:44:14amiconnOther formats basically for testing only, plus one album as ogg
20:44:31Hansmaulwurf(amiconn) Sennheiser MX450 <−−−− and you can really hear ANY difference in soundquality with them?
20:44:41amiconnyes
20:44:43amiconneasily
20:45:02amiconnThe hiss is noticeable even at lower volumes
20:45:02Hansmaulwurfhm
20:45:26Hansmaulwurfi use the Etymotic ER4P and i cant hear a hiss
20:45:30Spencei've got little to no experience of coding- if i tried to make that spectrum visualiser thing how far would you think i could get?
20:45:37Spencei think a lot of people would use it
20:45:45linuxstbHansmaulwurf: I use the same, and can definitely hear a loud hiss on my h140.
20:45:46HansmaulwurfSpence: can you code in c?
20:45:51Mikachui think it would be hard to do realtime fft and render in realtime
20:45:55Spencei have the time to learn :)
20:46:04Mikachumaybe you can take shortcuts with mp3?
20:46:11amiconnMikachu: Depends on the fft. It doesn't have to have many points
20:46:11qwm:)
20:46:18Hansmaulwurflinuxstb: when the remote is plugged in and no song is playing?
20:46:19Spenceunemployed in 4 weeks
20:46:30Mikachuthe oscilloscope already struggles a bit, and that calculation doesn't look so hard
20:46:33linuxstbHansmaulwurf: I don't use the remote. But yes, when no song is playing.
20:46:53XavierGrAlthought isn't it Apple that refuses to say the Signal to noise ratio? (or the manufacturer of the hardware)
20:47:04amiconnI don't use the remote either, except for coding
20:48:16Spencethe oscilloscope thing looks pretty good, just found some pictures
20:48:20amiconnHansmaulwurf: Do you have the ticking remot eproblem?
20:48:30Hansmaulwurflinuxstb: well , i can hear it only when i use the remote
20:48:35Hansmaulwurfamiconn: not at all
20:49:33amiconnMaybe both problems are connected - ticking remote and hiss even without remote
20:49:53XavierGrSomeday I must catch an iPod in my hands to compare sound quality and overall use with default firmware
20:49:57amiconnIt seems some irivers have a grounding problem somewhere
20:50:04XavierGrI still can't understand why this thing sells so much
20:50:22Spenceit's got a mirror on the back
20:50:26Hansmaulwurfits the "coolness" XavierGr
20:50:29XavierGrhahaha
20:50:39linuxstbIt's obvious why it sells - it's marketed to "normal" people, not geeks.
20:50:43XavierGrF*ck trends :)
20:50:57Spenceexactly what puts me off the iPod
20:51:19MikachuSpence: only for 3 minutes
20:51:22Hansmaulwurfi would buy an iPod if i could use them without iTunes
20:51:24HansmaulwurfWAIT
20:51:25Spencei can't deny that it is not a nice piece of hardware.. it's got li-polymer
20:51:27Hansmaulwurf;)
20:51:28Mikachuthen it is a more like the bottom of your sink
20:51:31XavierGrlinuxstb: Ok, but still why someone would pay more for an underfeatured DAP...
20:51:45*amiconn 's ipod doesn't have a mirror on the back
20:51:54linuxstb "reassuringly expensive".
20:52:06Mikachuif i polish it a bit, it gets mirrory (and more scratchy) until the next time i touch it
20:52:11HansmaulwurfXavierGr: your friend has an iPod, you see it, he tells you its a great player, so you buy one
20:52:44XavierGrHow on earth can someone pay 400-500 bucks without even researching first?
20:52:53Spencerich parents.
20:52:56*amiconn thinks the mini has the best case of all ipods
20:53:02Hansmaulwurfif I tell my friends the H120 can play ogg and have a digital in/out etc. they say "who fucking cares"
20:53:23linuxstbHansmaulwurf: Tell them it can play Doom...
20:53:31 Quit webguest21 ("CGI:IRC (EOF)")
20:53:35Spencei told 2 friends that the H320 did that and they bought it, but to be fair the rest of them would laugh at me
20:53:36Mikachuogg is vital for me, mp3 at 100kbps would sound like crap even to me :)
20:53:47Hansmaulwurflinuxstb: that is working, but the iPod can it too, and with colors!
20:53:55linuxstbHansmaulwurf: But don't tell them that...
20:53:57amiconnogg at 100kbps probably doesn't sound a lot better
20:54:03XavierGrSpence: why laugh at you?
20:54:10XavierGrWhat are their arguments?
20:54:20Spenceerm, that's geeky and i would never use it
20:54:42Hansmaulwurflinuxstb: why not? doom is the best advertisment for rockbox
20:54:45crwlamiconn, it sure does

20:55:26crwl*anything* newer than mp3 kicks mp3's ass on low bitrates
20:55:32linuxstbHansmaulwurf: I thought you were trying to persuade people to buy iriver
20:55:44crwllow being maybe <128 kbps
20:55:46Spencewell, it is vaguely.. a poor argument but there are 2 reasons leading to the conclusion of laughter
20:56:20amiconncrwl: Well, maybe it sounds better than mp3, but it's probably still far away from sounding transparent
20:56:35crwlamiconn, yes, i wouldn't claim it transparent
20:56:38Hansmaulwurflinuxstb: no, it was just an example that normal people want a simple to use player which looks cool, but no great technical features
20:56:41amiconnThat does of course depend on the type of music
20:56:51Mikachui sure don't hear any difference, but i think mp3 is good at 140kbps and higher
20:57:06crwlamiconn, but i think i would be myself quite happy listening to about 80-90 kbps oggs on the road, probably happier than to ~128 kbps VBR mp3
20:57:19SpenceJust one more question, how long would you say it will take for RockBox to be a polished open product like FireFox?
20:57:22amiconnThere is music that sounds transparent with mp3 @160kbps, and there is music that needs >240kbps mp3 to sound transparent
20:57:29XavierGramiconn: of course not transparent, but make the following ogg and mp3 at 48kbps
20:57:30crwlsure
20:57:48Hansmaulwurfmy MP3 are 192kbps, i dont think you can hear if a song is 192.kbps or 256kbps
20:57:49crwli encode to -q4 ogg (~128 kbps) to my h120 and i find it more than satisfactory for my use
20:58:04amiconn...and mp3 also depends a lot on the encoder
20:58:08crwlanything more would be waste everywhere else than home, IMO
20:58:16Mikachuand cbr vs vbr/abr
20:58:18XavierGrwith mp3 you can't here a thing on such low bitrates while on og at still it sounds decent without distortion artifacts
20:58:21amiconnHansmaulwurf: I can for some songs
20:58:28XavierGr^here =hear
20:58:37Hansmaulwurfyeah i have some too, but not normal rock songs
20:58:46amiconnThat's why I use lame −−preset standard
20:59:25XavierGrwow you sure have sensitive ears, to be able to hear difference with alt preset standart
20:59:35amiconnno, I can't
20:59:49XavierGrI haven't made an ABX test but beyond 160 I can't tell the difference
20:59:51crwllame −−preset standard is very, very good
20:59:52Mikachueven if i hear differences, it usually doesn't bother me too much
20:59:57amiconn..but I can hear a difference between 192kbps cbr and −−preset standard for some songs
20:59:57Spenceso subjective anyway, seeing as each of our ears are entirely different
21:00
21:00:00XavierGrI just rip to alt preset standard just in case
21:00:04Mikachuit's still the same music
21:00:14crwlbut then again, i haven't been able to ABX ogg vorbis at ~160 kbps (and not always even at 128) so...
21:00:16amiconn(those songs come out at 240..250 kbps with −−preset standard)

21:00:56Spencea lot of what you say you can't hear is what you are meant to be feeling anyway, it is frequencies that our ears can't detect but can feel- that is what bass and trebble really is
21:00:57amiconnI'm not concerned much about space, so I don't need ogg
21:01:04XavierGrat what bitrate mp3 stops busing the mp3 algorithm and starts to encode as mp2?
21:01:12XavierGr^busing = using
21:01:21Mikachui think never?
21:01:25amiconnOf course I don't have unlimited space either, otherwise I would use something lossless
21:01:25Hansmaulwurf"bass" with earphones is a joke
21:01:27Hansmaulwurfnothing else
21:01:35Hansmaulwurfyou cant call that "bass"

21:12:22tvelocityyou can script x-chat in python and perl. even in C
21:12:37Mikachuyou can "script" all open source clients in C :)
21:12:50XavierGrwill that highlight only the word (that I want) or the whole line?
21:12:56tvelocitynot without recompiling:P
21:13:07Mikachuyou can add modules to irssi dynamically

21:18:36InfiritHiya, when the the battery indicator in rockbox is 0 (zero) would it then shutdown by itself (not the hardware forcing to power off)
21:18:43XavierGrZendefera: ABout the 3.0 release.
21:18:55Zendeferaoh, I see.
21:19:02XavierGrZendefera: It seems that it won't be released soon....
21:19:10Zendeferao.
21:19:15InfiritI am trying to find out more about the batterylife issues on the h300
21:19:21Zendeferano big deal. :) more time for fixing bugs.
21:20:23InfiritThe reason i ask is that the Iriver firmware is reporting much higher values then rockbox
21:20:44Infirit63 in rockbox but completely full in the iriver firmware
21:21:10pixelmaXavierGr: in HydraIRC you can set diffferent types of highlighting/notifications (to give only one word a certain colour and/or backgroundcolour is possible)
21:21:25ZendeferaI'm sure that the bettery level algorithms haven't yet been optimized.
21:21:49Zendeferabattery I mean
21:22:31Infirittrue but if rockbox decides to shutdown when it thinks the battery is empty but in reality the battery is half empty
21:23:03InfiritIt could be the explanation why it is reported as being bad
21:24:06Infiritwhile it realy is not ;-)
21:24:33XavierGrpixelma: seems I missed that. Then I used mIRC learnt how to script and did the feature myself. Now there is no turning back. But at least I got rid of Trillian.

21:31:17lowlightlinuxstb: kind of...but I'm having a problem with the sim if I play mp3 > flac I get a "FLAC: Error initialising code"
21:31:53lowlightbut it doesn't happen on my h140
21:33:14Infiritso the question is would rockbox shut down the player if the battery level is 0?
21:33:30linuxstbInfirit: I don't think it does, no.
21:33:50lowlightlinuxstb: I think resume would be fairly easy to add to flac. Just adapt flac_seek to find a seek point based on the byte offset rather than the sample number.
21:37:06linuxstblowlight: Yes, FLAC should be OK to just resume from a byte offset. The frames themselves contain a timestamp, so after decoding the first frame, the codec can update the elapsed time accurately. You don't even need to use the seektable.

21:46:48InfiritIs there also a bug report for this pn flyspray
21:46:52Infirit*on
21:47:29linuxstbYes: http://www.rockbox.org/tracker/task/4786
21:47:35amiconnThe battery level meter is only roughly calibrated on iriver
21:47:58Mikachuimo it should never show 0 :)
21:48:06amiconnBut I wouldn't say the ability to run at 0% is a bug - it's a nice extra of that unit
21:48:34amiconnThe critical levels seem to be slightly different from unit to unit
21:48:37Infirityeah but if it is in the hours more something is wrong, right
21:48:57amiconnAfter all, the remaining runtime estimation is just that - an estimation

21:50:27linuxstbMaybe the iriver firmware is wrong...
21:50:28lowlightlinuxstb: yes. I believe updating set_offset will properly save the offset value for resuming. However, there's a "latency" adjustment (playback.c:522) so I was unsure if the offset would correspond to an actual seekpoint.
21:50:31*amiconn has no idea what the original firmware reports
21:50:51amiconnThe only thing that I use the original firmware for is usbotg.
21:50:52Mikachuapple firmware reports "full" "almost full" "almost empty" and "empty" :)
21:51:10Mikachupossibly half too

21:55:18amiconnThere's slightly more to draw into the framebuffer on H300, but to account for that, the H300 battery has slightly more capacity, and during my test, the display backlight was off, which implies the display is completely switched off on H300
21:55:34amiconnRuntime was >19 hours on H140, but a mere 11 hours on H340

23:14:29lostlogicthe pcmbuf is always at least 2 seconds, which means the latency is up-to 2 seconds by default. the crossfade time is added to _that_
23:15:13lostlogicwait, I might be wrong, and it might be 3 seconds by default, or 2 seconds plus crossfade length
23:15:20lostlogicsee set_crossfade in playback.c
23:15:30linuxstbI was wondering about that - when crossfade is in progress, the first track has already been decoded, and the decoder has moved onto the next one.
23:15:31lostlogicoh, and lowlight left before I started yapping, blah.
23:15:43linuxstbAh, I didn't notice that either...

23:17:45amiconnWhy 2 full seconds?
23:17:52amiconnSounds quite much to me...
23:19:48resetIs there any way to use my iTrip with Rockbox and iPod Nano?
23:19:49lostlogicamiconn: beats me... it depends on the cost of boosting the CPU how much is worth having.
23:20:24amiconnHmm, the boost...
23:21:18linuxstbreset: No, I don't think they work. Rockbox doesn't communicate with any ipod accessories yet.
23:22:11resettoo bad.. hope they manage to fix this :)

23:22:18linuxstbI hope they do as well.
23:22:46Acksawdoes anyone know what the term for things like VBR and CBR is?
23:23:08Acksawsay someone is asking what the .... is i would say either cbr or vbr
23:23:09linuxstbreset: You can use any generic FM transmitter instead though.

23:25:16resetlinuxstb: Yeah, but i already bought my iTrip ;)
23:25:24linuxstbACK54W: No, I don't think there's a term for that. Someone would just ask if a stream was CBR. (or if a stream was VBR).
23:25:37ACK54Wi see
23:25:38ACK54Wthanks
23:26:45linuxstbreset: Have you tried it?

23:46:45preglowlostlogic: reiterating a question here, any reason why codec_pcmbuf_insert_split_callback doesn't just wait with calling dsp_process until it has room for the entire chunk to fit in the pcmbuf?
