00:01:01 | earHertz | It's a music playre than you carry in your ass |
00:01:02 | juxtap | much better than itunes |
00:01:13 | earHertz | oh, ANApod. sorry |
00:01:25 | preglow | you thought it said anuspod? :P |

00:02:04 | juxtap | but if i want to set up a dual boot thing |
00:02:13 | lou | its already there |
00:02:20 | lou | just hold menu while booting |

00:02:28 | juxtap | i tried that, didn't work |
00:02:31 | lou | and it boots into the apple firmware |
00:02:34 | lou | well |
00:02:37 | lou | try again |
00:02:49 | lou | sometimes it takes me 2-3 times before it works |
00:03:03 | juxtap | i think when i installed rockbox i overwrote apple os |
00:03:10 | scorche | it didnt |
00:03:13 | lou | no |
00:03:15 | lou | not possible |
00:03:35 | juxtap | oh,k |
00:03:58 | | Quit petur ("here today, gone tomorrow") |
00:04:02 | lou | press play for 5 seconds until it shuts off the ipod |
00:04:07 | scorche | when you are holding menu, try not to move your thumb much....i think movement on the wheel interferes with it in some way (just a guess) |
00:04:11 | Paul_The_Nerd | It is possible, but you have to do something pretty wrong. |
00:04:11 | lou | press and hold menu then |
00:04:19 | lou | it should boot into the original FW |
00:04:36 | lou | scorche, yeah |
00:04:41 | lou | takes time sometimes |

00:04:46 | juxtap | "loading original firmware" |
00:04:50 | lou | see? |
00:05:15 | juxtap | heh, what i was doing wrong: i pressed the select button THEN pressed menu |
00:05:21 | amiconn | Hehe |
00:05:23 | juxtap | (instead of just pressing menu) |
00:05:36 | amiconn | If I'd do that on my mini g2, it would just reboot again |

00:11:55 | juxtap | btw i have my stuff stored in /rokcboc/music but apple os can't read that |
00:11:59 | juxtap | that's why i mentioned anapod |
00:12:11 | juxtap | doesn't it need to be stored in a special way? |
00:12:52 | juxtap | thanks dionoea |
00:13:00 | lou | apple os stores stuff in a special way |
00:13:01 | lou | yes |
00:13:10 | lou | rockbox does not and can access that directory |
00:13:24 | juxtap | yeah i know |
00:13:27 | juxtap | but that's ugly. |
00:13:48 | lou | whats ugly? |
00:14:15 | juxtap | the way apple os stores stuff (itunes anyway) |
00:14:20 | juxtap | guess i'll try with anapod |

00:14:49 | Paul_The_Nerd | Well then don't use music in apple OS |
00:14:50 | lou | why do you want to store stuff in the apple way now? |

00:16:55 | juxtap | seems my idea is outnumbered though :p |
00:17:22 | lou | your idea would use the double ammount of space |
00:17:38 | lou | well |

00:19:26 | lou | no |

00:20:47 | lou | oh tagcache |
00:20:49 | lou | yeah |
00:20:58 | gpoo | is thier a way that rockbox thru some wifi dongle |

00:23:06 | gpoo | he was able to get wifi to work on his newton |
00:23:17 | Paul_The_Nerd | lou: TagCache is useful because it allows you to create groups, like "All songs with the word Zelda in the title" for quick auto-playlisting. |
00:23:37 | heff | gpoo: the newton has different interface options |
00:23:44 | lou | i am not arguing that paul :) |
00:24:02 | lou | just think its messed (at least the way i tried to use it) |
00:24:07 | Paul_The_Nerd | lou: I was just pointing out. I use filetree too, but some people don't seem to be aware of the options beyond simply browsing by tag. :) |
00:24:14 | heff | gpoo: it would maybe be possible by implementing USB host mode and then using a usb wifi dongle |

00:24:31 | gpoo | why does rock box reboot every so often |
00:24:49 | Paul_The_Nerd | lou: I don't use it, but I've never had problems with it. But then, all of my files are painstakingly tagged, none are M4A/AAC, and none have album art. |
00:24:53 | gpoo | heff yes that his and my idea |
00:24:56 | juxtap | Paul_The_Nerd, so how would you create a playlist with 'all tracks from 1990' say? |

01:53:45 | flithm | does rockbox play (unencrypted) mpeg4? |
01:54:29 | toxicfume | i just installed rockbox, but how do i boot into the original firmware? |
01:54:49 | toxicfume | using ipod video |
01:54:55 | | Quit midkay ("Leaving") |
01:55:14 | Amien | hold menu while booting |
01:55:14 | Mikachu | http://www.rockbox.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/IpodFAQ |
01:55:18 | Paul_The_Nerd | I'm sure that's in the Manual or the FAQ, if not both |
01:55:22 | linuxstb | flithm: What kind of mpeg4? |
01:55:32 | flithm | linuxstb, m4a? |
01:55:46 | toxicfume | Paul_The_Nerd: not as far as i could see, really. |
01:55:56 | Mikachu | it's in IpodFAQ |
01:56:08 | linuxstb | flithm: Even .m4a is vague... I'm guessing you mean AAC, and yes, Rockbox just about plays it. |
01:56:24 | flithm | linuxstb, just about? :) |
01:56:30 | Paul_The_Nerd | toxicfume: Apparently it's in at least the FAQ, as I just verified it's there. |
01:56:37 | | Part baobab68 |
01:57:34 | linuxstb | flithm: Yes. :) There is an AAC decoder, but it's not that good. It works for low bitrates (128kbps and maybe slightly higher) on the ipod, but can't decode in realtime on the iriver/iaudio players. |
01:57:56 | * | flithm nods |
01:58:36 | linuxstb | We're waiting for either the ffmpeg project to perform another miracle and implement their own AAC decoder or for someone to work on optimising the one we've got. |
01:59:05 | flithm | commercial players should really start shipping with rockbox... personally I love the ipod hardware but right from the first time it booted up I was astounded at how crappy its OS is given how popular it is |
02:00 |
02:00:15 | toxicfume | it's not crappy IMO, the interface is intuitive and simple and just works for majority of the people who use it |
02:00:44 | Paul_The_Nerd | It was quite counterintuitive to me. |
02:01:00 | Paul_The_Nerd | I kept trying to press the button labelled "Menu" with the expectation that it would bring me to a Menu from most screens. |
02:01:39 | flithm | nah it's total crap. the eq is shite, the way songs are organized is idiotic... give me a directory structure anyday... everything about it is weak. It's in no way made for people who like music −− which is what portable music players are all about. |
02:01:59 | Paul_The_Nerd | Naah, iPod's aren't about people who like music. |
02:02:04 | toxicfume | not here, once you figure out that center button is select, and menu goes back, it's really simple to navigate around |
02:02:11 | Paul_The_Nerd | They're about people who install huge subwoofers in their car and think it improves the way music sounds |
02:02:15 | flithm | hahaha |
02:02:24 | flithm | yeah I suppose you're right |
02:02:48 | Paul_The_Nerd | toxicfume: Yes, but *why* does menu go back? Why not the key labelled "Left" since that's back considering the direction that menus point is to the right? |
02:03:08 | Paul_The_Nerd | You shouldn't have to figure out that keys don't do what their labels say in the STOCK firmware. |
02:03:14 | toxicfume | lets not get into philosophy here, but really for me i had no trouble getting used to it. |
02:03:43 | | Quit obo ("bye") |
02:03:53 | flithm | at the very least a music player should have a fully tweakable EQ... I simply can't imagine releasing a music player without one, yet sure enough... apple did it and got away with it |
02:04:13 | Paul_The_Nerd | I thought the definition of "Intuitive" pretty much implied that a user could pick it up and have things do what they expect without having to learn quirks... |
02:04:23 | toxicfume | flithm: not everyone will mess about with a full EQ, that's useless for most people who only want to listen to their music. |
02:04:28 | Paul_The_Nerd | flithm: There are very few MP3 players that DO have one. |
02:05:00 | toxicfume | Paul_The_Nerd: I picked it up really quickly. |
02:05:12 | flithm | Really? that's madness! |
02:05:14 | toxicfume | not trying to blow my horns but yes |
02:05:25 | Paul_The_Nerd | toxicfume: To the contrary, a non-customizable one is useless for people who actually want to use it properly (lessen the effects of a setup that in some manner distorts their audio). And "Picked it up really quickly" is different from "Intuitive." Easy to learn is still by definition of the word intuitive, not intuitive, simply easy to learn. |
02:05:51 | Paul_The_Nerd | I'll give Apple that their interface is simple, and really easy to learn. |
02:06:07 | Paul_The_Nerd | But at BEST it's counterintuitive since many things do the opposite of what one would expect from button labels. |
02:06:19 | toxicfume | well, the Apple designed the player not for audiophiles who want to mess about with specific EQ settings |
02:06:20 | Paul_The_Nerd | We're talking definitions here, not your seeming assumption that "intuitive" means the same as "easy" |
02:06:42 | | Quit PaulJam (".") |
02:07:10 | Paul_The_Nerd | toxicfume: Then why have EQ settings at all. All the presets just distort the public's conception of what an EQ really is. |
02:07:36 | scorche | intuitive is not asking someone what to hit to go back, then saying "oh. that was easy" |
02:08:00 | Paul_The_Nerd | scorche: Exactly, intuitive is pressing the first button that comes to mind when thinking "back" and having it work. |
02:08:16 | Paul_The_Nerd | scorche: Unfortunately, my thought was "If deeper is right, back is left" |
02:08:19 | | Quit mirak (Remote closed the connection) |
02:08:32 | flithm | I had a friend with an ipod who didn't know you could turn it off by holding pause, or hit select and then rotate to seek inside a track for a year after he'd has his :) |
02:08:42 | scorche | that too |
02:09:01 | scorche | i know many people that though how they turned their players off was to switch the hold on and wait |
02:09:03 | toxicfume | i dont get it, most people who i know who have ipods know how to navigate right away. Maybe it's not intuitive as in being clear with the symbols and words on the interface |
02:09:25 | scorche | *thought |
02:09:28 | Paul_The_Nerd | toxicfume: So the first button they press to go back is always Menu, the first time they use it, without asking? |
02:09:47 | scorche | without seeing it be used before? |
02:10:04 | toxicfume | ofcourse by "right away" i meant the first few uses. Lol, such nitpicking on my words i better give up now. |
02:10:21 | Paul_The_Nerd | Well, you used "Intuitive" |
02:10:25 | Paul_The_Nerd | Which has a very specific meaning |
02:10:27 | Paul_The_Nerd | Which you seem to have missed. |
02:10:28 | toxicfume | I'm sprry. |
02:10:31 | toxicfume | *sorry |
02:10:43 | Paul_The_Nerd | Besides, Apple MADE the iPod |
02:10:47 | toxicfume | i beg for your forgiveness? |
02:10:52 | Paul_The_Nerd | Why did they write "Menu" on the button, if that's not what it's for? |
02:11:27 | Paul_The_Nerd | Believe it or not, they actually got to pick what was written on the player AND what the buttons do. |
02:11:34 | * | scorche exits the conversation just as quickly and seamlessly as he came into it |
02:11:44 | Paul_The_Nerd | :) |
02:11:45 | toxicfume | well, they've outsold every other player, they have done something right. |
02:11:52 | | Quit sandoaway (Read error: 110 (Connection timed out)) |
02:12:00 | scorche | toxicfume: it is called advertising |
02:12:06 | scorche | errrr....im out |
02:12:18 | Paul_The_Nerd | Yeah, sales aren't representative of quality. |
02:12:21 | * | Paul_The_Nerd points at VHS. |
02:12:38 | toxicfume | and i really dont think that deeply about what "Menu" means and what it's supposed to do and what the right symbol means, I press it, see what it does, and remember it. |
02:13:03 | Paul_The_Nerd | toxicfume: By that definition any interface is fine, since it's all trial and error. Why label buttons at all? |
02:13:16 | flithm | this is so awesome |
02:13:18 | toxicfume | Menu deals with Menus for me |
02:13:19 | flithm | eq with precut |
02:13:23 | flithm | deargod I'm happy :) |
02:13:31 | toxicfume | and i understand the ipod that way |
02:13:37 | Paul_The_Nerd | How does it "deal with menus"? |
02:13:42 | toxicfume | if I press Menu, it's going to take me to the top level Menu |
02:13:49 | Paul_The_Nerd | But it doesn't. |
02:13:51 | Paul_The_Nerd | It goes back one level. |
02:13:57 | toxicfume | and if i hold it, it'll take me to the Main menu |
02:14:06 | toxicfume | sorry top level = one level above the current position. |
02:14:11 | toxicfume | english isn't my first language. |
02:14:30 | | Quit tongas (Read error: 110 (Connection timed out)) |
02:14:51 | Paul_The_Nerd | But from the Song list, hitting Menu takes you to the Album list, rather than any Menu. |
02:14:51 | toxicfume | there it is, it deals with menus |
02:15:05 | toxicfume | Album list is the Menu |
02:15:14 | Paul_The_Nerd | No, it's a list of Albums |
02:15:24 | Paul_The_Nerd | Otherwise the only place that ISN'T a menu is the While Playing Screen, and the games. |
02:15:33 | toxicfume | i dont know, replacing that word with Menu works for me |
02:15:47 | Paul_The_Nerd | So, it works because you've chosen to redefine what things are until it does. |
02:15:48 | Paul_The_Nerd | Gotcha |
02:15:54 | Paul_The_Nerd | Fair enough |
02:15:56 | toxicfume | wow, the interface must have been way too confusing the first time you sed it |
02:16:02 | toxicfume | *used |
02:16:08 | Paul_The_Nerd | No, I had no problems using it. |
02:16:18 | Paul_The_Nerd | I just said it isn't intuitive. There's a difference. |
02:16:57 | Paul_The_Nerd | There are very few truly intuitive interfaces. I think a one-button mouse in a black and white paint program is about as close as you can get. |
02:17:06 | toxicfume | well, it seems logical enough to me. But i guess maybe i dont have the perfect definition for the word intuitive |
02:17:42 | toxicfume | well but the interface just works, it's really simple and logical i think. |
02:17:59 | toxicfume | ofcourse no one would get it on the first go |
02:18:23 | Paul_The_Nerd | It took me about 15 seconds to have a pretty firm grasp on it. |
02:18:34 | scorche | toxicfume: you are on the edge again with the word "logical" instead of intuitive |
02:18:37 | Paul_The_Nerd | And about 5 more to think "Man, that's pretty stupid. Menu should open up a menu, and left and right should actually go left and right." |
02:18:51 | Paul_The_Nerd | Logical and Intuitive are almost opposite concepts. |
02:19:12 | xoder | Paul_The_Nerd: there are many ways to do an "intuitive" interface. The problem is that they are all misrepresenting themselves. There is no Intuitive Interface. If you're lucky, you can base your interface off of someone else's and then its intuitive to those former users. If you're lucky, you can make an interface intuitive to a certain subgroup of people. |
02:19:14 | Paul_The_Nerd | Logical relating to reasoning, and Intuitive meaning that it requires no reasoning whatsoever, instead springing from instinct and intuition. |
02:19:17 | flithm | my ipod has never sounded so good. Now if only I could fit a subwoofer into its case somehow |
02:19:28 | scorche | Paul_The_Nerd: however, it isnt logical that menu wouldnt take you to the menu |
02:19:51 | toxicfume | a menu is a list of items for me |
02:20:01 | Paul_The_Nerd | xoder: Yup, as I said there aren't any *truly* intuitive interfaces really. That's why Rockbox is nice. By definition it's mostly intuitive to previous Rockbox users when they switch devices. |
02:20:26 | xoder | Yay! Agreement! |
02:20:54 | Paul_The_Nerd | toxicfume: So, "Explorer" shows you a menu of your drive? |
02:21:38 | toxicfume | if it was on another device, and they used the term menu, i would understand it |
02:23:38 | Paul_The_Nerd | Understanding it is completely different from expecting it. |
02:23:51 | toxicfume | I dont expect much anyways :P |
02:24:14 | Paul_The_Nerd | The whole idea of intuitive is "does what the user is most likely to expect" for interfaces. At least, in general |
02:24:26 | Paul_The_Nerd | That's why my point was that the Menu button doesn't do what I'd expect it to. |
02:24:47 | Paul_The_Nerd | I've already said that the interface is easy to use, and simple. |
02:24:57 | | Quit jd_ () |
02:25:07 | Paul_The_Nerd | So clearly the only point we have left to disagree on is intuitiveness. Which you gave up on, but then for some reason kept responding and arguing. |
02:25:15 | toxicfume | well the only thing that i remember thinknig when i saw the Menu button for the first time was that this button has something to do with Menus, and the definition worked for me, ofcourse it may not work for everyone else. |
02:25:53 | Paul_The_Nerd | "Something to do with Menus" |
02:25:54 | Paul_The_Nerd | Hehehe |
02:25:57 | Paul_The_Nerd | Wonderfully vague. |
02:26:13 | * | Paul_The_Nerd is going to make a remote with 10 buttons each labelled "Channel Number" |
02:26:32 | toxicfume | yeah, i didn't thnik anything in specific |
02:26:48 | toxicfume | Menu = this button has to deal with menus, that's it. |
02:26:53 | | Quit flithm ("Leaving") |
02:26:57 | toxicfume | and then i started using it |
02:27:11 | Paul_The_Nerd | On *most* devices, the menu button calls up the menu. |
02:27:16 | toxicfume | and whenever i pressed it, it would take me to a menu one level above the current position. It worked for me. |

02:28:32 | toxicfume | this one does too, but it wont for you because of your strict definition of Menu |
02:28:48 | toxicfume | but i have a vague one |

02:29:43 | toxicfume | a flexible definition+ slight learning(like you said less than 15 seconds), made it work for me. |
02:29:50 | amiconn | Paul_The_Nerd: On Saturday? Highly unlikely imho |

02:30:19 | toxicfume | Paul_The_Nerd: are you a programmer? |
02:30:28 | Paul_The_Nerd | toxicfume: Why? |
02:30:29 | amiconn | Hmmmmm |
02:30:30 | toxicfume | sorry for generalizing. |
02:30:35 | Genre9mp3 | I just couldn't resist and checked the battery level of my H340 |
02:30:54 | pixelma | Genre9mp3: thanks for the work ;) |
02:30:56 | Paul_The_Nerd | amiconn: I got a read receipt confirmation hours ago, but that doesn't necessarily mean much. |
02:31:18 | toxicfume | they tend to be really specific and nitpicky about words and definitions people say. It's not an insult btw, just an observation. |
02:31:26 | toxicfume | *say/use |
02:31:27 | Genre9mp3 | After 5 hours the battery is at 81% which is more than expected! :) |
02:31:37 | Genre9mp3 | hi pixelma |
02:31:57 | Paul_The_Nerd | toxicfume: I'm more nitpicky about them in arguments than in normal, because it's really important to have a clear understanding about what's being disagreed on. |
02:32:19 | amiconn | For some reason I thought portalplayer was asian... |
02:32:27 | Genre9mp3 | pixelma: can't see hardeep around though.... |
02:32:48 | Paul_The_Nerd | amiconn: Well, the guy I contacted is in San Jose, California |
02:33:03 | toxicfume | okay question |
02:33:08 | Genre9mp3 | maybe someone else with CVS access can commit the updated files |
02:33:12 | pixelma | Genre9mp3: I also mean the fmr-files and especially updating the zips |
02:33:14 | amiconn | Yeah, and that's the headquarters according to their website |
02:33:23 | Paul_The_Nerd | amiconn: Though they're also in Hyderabad, India |
02:33:32 | Genre9mp3 | Oh...np |

02:34:05 | toxicfume | if I unhide the Ipod_Control folder, will rockbox be able to be the weirdly organized mp3 files and would they still work in the Apple firmware? |
02:34:14 | Paul_The_Nerd | I like to pretend that the lack of response despite the read receipt means that it's actually gone somewhere for discussion, since I didn't just receive an outright "no" |
02:34:35 | Paul_The_Nerd | toxicfume: TagCache doesn't care if the folder's hidden or not, I believe |
02:35:01 | Genre9mp3 | At a previous battery bench I made some time ago, the battery went to 81% after 2 hours and 15 mins...Now it went to that level after 5 hours!!! |
02:35:14 | Paul_The_Nerd | So, about twice as long |
02:35:20 | Paul_The_Nerd | Pretty much what is expected, right? |
02:35:26 | Genre9mp3 | more than twice I could say |
02:35:31 | Paul_The_Nerd | A wee bit more |
02:35:53 | Paul_The_Nerd | 2:15 * 2 == 4:30, you said ~5 hours, fairly close. |
02:36:08 | amiconn | linuxstb: Hmm, it seems we could save some energy on PP5022: |
02:36:55 | amiconn | "...uses ultra-low 1.2V core supply voltage and *system enabled dynamic voltage scaling*" |
02:37:10 | amiconn | Now if we only knew how to control it... |
02:37:16 | toxicfume | okay, i think im' conditioned to be comfortable with apples interface, because now i'm finding rockbox confusing |
02:37:40 | Paul_The_Nerd | Hehehe |
02:38:45 | Genre9mp3 | Paul_The_Nerd: I would say it's about 120% more |
02:39:29 | Paul_The_Nerd | Genre9mp3: It's possible. We'll see on the full benchmark, 'eh ;) |
02:39:42 | Paul_The_Nerd | Either way, it'll make you guys happy |
02:39:42 | toxicfume | Paul_The_Nerd: in the Rockbox File browser I dont see the iPod_Control folder, is it because it's hidden? |

02:48:37 | xoder | So, has anyone thought about taking the JPEG viewer and turning it into a PNG viewer? |

02:48:56 | Paul_The_Nerd | Nobody's done it. |
02:49:10 | xoder | I've been looking at the jpeg plugin viewer, and the decoding is pretty easily seperated from the UI |
02:49:17 | Paul_The_Nerd | It'd be neat if someone also hooked up BMP display as well |
02:49:37 | Paul_The_Nerd | Right now BMPs have no default action, but are supported because you can set proper resolution ones as backdrops. It'd be nice if you could view all the rest of 'em. ;) |
02:49:58 | xoder | so, then could the display be handled by a system call? |

02:51:22 | midkay | the response was that we should probably wait and turn the jpg plugin into an image viewer supporting multiple formats or so.. |
02:51:33 | xoder | The biggest concerns for me about PNG are: whether I can just drop the CRCs (This is an embedded system, and we shouldn't waste time), how to best impliment COMPRESS, and the proper color decimation for 24bit PNGs (as well as the proper mapping for palletted ones) |
02:52:09 | Paul_The_Nerd | midkay: Well, I was just suggestiong implementing BMP viewing in the Jpeg viewer... so... :-P |
02:52:10 | xoder | midkay: I disagree about making the jpeg viewer multiformat. It uses quite a few JPEG-specific rendering tricks |
02:52:29 | midkay | i don't necessarily mean converting the jpeg viewer itself, sorry.. i just mean a general image viewer. |
02:52:40 | Paul_The_Nerd | The plugin itself should be imageview.rock |
02:52:40 | midkay | having different viewers entirely for jpg, bmp, png, etc... is not a good idea. |
02:52:46 | midkay | right, like that. |
02:52:47 | Paul_The_Nerd | With the UI code separate from the format-specific portions |
02:53:06 | amiconn | midkay: (1) Why? (2) On archos it might be necessary to have separate viewers |
02:53:19 | Paul_The_Nerd | xoder: Look at the existing Rockbox code for 24-bit bitmaps and you can probably use their existing conversions for the colors. |
02:53:22 | midkay | amiconn, haha, it was in fact you who suggested this, if memory serves me right.. |
02:53:25 | earHertz | midkay: the GUI shoould be the same. Teh implemtation should be differnt. The gui should call a set of rendring functins. |
02:53:29 | | Quit Poka64 ("night") |
02:53:39 | midkay | earHertz, did i suggest otherwise? |
02:54:00 | Paul_The_Nerd | Oooh... ooh... Image Codecs! For rendering them to WPS as well! :-P |
02:54:01 | earHertz | make a common viewer gui, and establish a siomple AI for rendering functuions |
02:54:10 | earHertz | Paul_The_Nerd: yeah, more or less |
02:54:10 | xoder | the JPEG viewer uses several shortcuts that only work in YUV space. PNG uses RGB space |
02:54:22 | midkay | sigh.. i'll slip on out of this discussion.. |
02:54:23 | xoder | (especially for monochrome or 2-bit displays) |
02:54:29 | amiconn | Above all, the JPEG viewer uses idct scaling |
02:54:44 | amiconn | The colour space is much less of a problem |
02:54:45 | xoder | which simply wouldn't work for any other format |
02:54:52 | earHertz | holy crap! speed freaks eat cats!? |
02:55:14 | * | earHertz is watching a sdocumentary on drugs |
02:55:48 | xoder | amiconn: on second thought, you're right about the colorspace thing |
02:56:28 | xoder | I'd also be concerned that since we can't use something like idct scaling, we'd have to render the whole image to memory and then zoom/decimate, which would suck memory hardcore |
02:57:39 | amiconn | Not necessarily |
02:57:56 | amiconn | We could load stripes into a buffer and scale down |
02:59:00 | xoder | i like that idea |

05:39:56 | midkay | bolt of lightning i think. |
05:40:07 | spifwand | i did it while it was plugged into the wall |
05:40:15 | spifwand | and now its got a check mark with "Safe to disconnect" |

05:40:44 | midkay | yeah, that sounds right.. |

05:43:25 | midkay | dongs, how about googling.. |
05:43:29 | spifwand | i don't know much about bluetooth transmission rates, the ones i have are made by jensen |

05:48:08 | dongs | what a waste, i bet audiophiles are puking right now |
05:48:21 | midkay | spifwand, rockbox can't detect the difference between USB or charger since they both use the same port. |
05:48:37 | midkay | and so it assumes USB, reboots to disk mode, and then disk mode says "hey, this ain't usb.. let's reboot back to rockbox".. |
05:48:38 | midkay | and so on. |
05:48:51 | spifwand | makes sense |
05:48:59 | midkay | forcing disk mode is the best option for charging from wall.. which is how i told you.. select+play on boot. |
05:49:09 | midkay | that way it won't automatically reboot after it decides it's not USB. |
05:49:15 | spifwand | sounds good, i'll remember that |
05:49:24 | | Part Paul_The_Ner1 |
05:49:30 | spifwand | so now that and video are the only quirks that irk me |
05:49:39 | spifwand | but i still love rockbox to teh max |
05:49:45 | spifwand | all the girlies love it |
05:49:46 | midkay | don't expect it soon.. :) |
05:49:49 | midkay | haha. |
05:49:49 | spifwand | pssh im not |
05:49:50 | midkay | nice. |
05:50:05 | midkay | apple's firmware plays really nice video anyways, i'm not holding my breath at all.. |
05:50:26 | spifwand | yeah i actually put ipod defualt firmware back on it cuz im like "oh well rockbox can't play videos" |
05:50:33 | spifwand | but then... i never loaded any videos on it for 2 months |
05:50:37 | midkay | you know you can dual-boot, right? |
05:50:47 | midkay | with rockbox installed you can still access the default firmware. |
05:50:53 | spifwand | yeah but i already changed the layout of my songs |
05:51:10 | spifwand | they're all in subfolders made with mediamonkey |
05:51:21 | midkay | ah, but if you ever wanted videos, you could do that.. |
05:51:31 | spifwand | yeah good point |
05:51:59 | spifwand | i'll dual boot next time i update it, i gotta put the theme tweaks on it too |
05:52:06 | spifwand | after i figure out how to do that |
05:52:08 | spifwand | lol |
05:52:24 | spifwand | i'm learning flash, and final cut pro right now- and i'm adhd. so one thing at a time |
05:52:32 | | Quit rotator ("zzzzzzzzzzz") |
05:52:34 | midkay | what do you mean, next time you update it? rockbox doesn't even have the capability to *not* dual-boot.. you could access the apple firmware *right now* if you wanted. :) |
05:52:42 | midkay | ah, cool. :) |

05:53:04 | spifwand | whats the basic dual booting method? |
05:53:25 | spifwand | like if i wanted to get into ipod i woulnd't be able to just hold down buttons right? |
05:53:29 | spifwand | i'd need to partition somthing? |
05:53:43 | midkay | just power off, and to get into the default firmware, instead of pressing menu to turn on, just hold it down until you see "booting default firmware".. |
05:53:56 | spifwand | wow. im an idiot |
05:53:57 | spifwand | :) |
05:54:05 | midkay | haha, nah.. lots of people overlook it. :) |
05:54:36 | idnar | it's not supported on some players, though |
05:54:42 | idnar | not supported yet, I mean |
05:54:45 | spifwand | i'll tell u if it works in 2 seconds |
05:54:50 | spifwand | (approx_ |
05:55:04 | midkay | idnar, what isn't? |
05:56:16 | idnar | midkay: booting the original firmware |
05:56:18 | spifwand | doesn't seme to work |

05:57:02 | idnar | yes, sorry, I should have been more clear about what I meant |
05:57:04 | midkay | spifwand, that's kind of an iffy way to do it.. might try again. be careful not to move you finger while you hold it.. |
05:57:12 | midkay | idnar, :) |
05:57:29 | spifwand | hold down menu not center |
05:57:30 | midkay | spifwand, also you might try tapping menu and then holding it.. quickly, e.g. before the apple logo comes up. |
05:57:35 | midkay | yeah. |
05:57:42 | spifwand | that workjs |
05:57:43 | spifwand | :) |
05:57:45 | spifwand | yay |
05:57:51 | midkay | yay yay. |
05:58:09 | spifwand | i just left it in that mode while it charges |
05:58:17 | spifwand | then i'll throw some videos on there to celebrate |

06:31:58 | * | Paul_The_Nerd is somewhat distracted, so may miss questions in general. |
06:32:00 | xellaphan | I just used the IpodLinux installer and put on the bootloader 2 on my 5g |
06:32:11 | xellaphan | can i also add rockbox? |
06:32:24 | | Quit ZenMasterJG (Read error: 104 (Connection reset by peer)) |
06:32:32 | midkay | well, this isn't really the place for iPL's bootloader questions.. but rockbox should appear automatically, it did for me. |
06:32:39 | xellaphan | the tut im using says i have to use an app manager |
06:33:06 | Paul_The_Nerd | You should be able to just extract Rockbox.zip into your fat32 partition, and Loader2 should handle the rest |
06:33:29 | Paul_The_Nerd | But if you have problems with it, you need to ask the iPodLinux people. |
06:33:35 | xellaphan | the specific ? is how to multi boot rockbox under a current iPL 2.2 install? |

08:41:11 | aliask | Jungti1234: Yes, we think it has. I don't think anyone has actually done a new runtime test yet. (H300) |
08:42:34 | Rekoil | will rockbox feature video for compatible players ?... i mean when it is done |
08:42:57 | aliask | When it's done? :) |
08:43:19 | Rekoil | because if it is to be considered an alternative it needs all possible features |
08:43:30 | aliask | A few people have given video a shot, but so far I don't think it's been developed to a point where you could actually watch anything. |
08:43:37 | Rekoil | well first release thats not considered "developers only" |
08:43:49 | aliask | It's not planned yet. |
08:43:57 | Rekoil | it has for iPL but only uncompressed video |
08:44:39 | Rekoil | and those take up a humongous amount of space |
08:44:48 | aliask | All it takes is someone with enough motivation (and the neccessary skills) to start work on it. At the moment nobody has really stepped up. |
08:45:23 | Rekoil | aegray did but i think hes dropped it yet (hes the guy who developed it for iPL) |
08:45:32 | Rekoil | dropped it now* |
08:46:06 | Rekoil | havent seen any changes in the video development for a while |
08:47:31 | Jungti1234 | hmm |
08:47:46 | Jungti1234 | 'Rudimentary driver for the ISP1362 USB on-the-go controller. For now it just sends the chip to sleep' |
08:47:48 | Jungti1234 | what's mean? |
08:48:38 | aliask | It means that amiconn was able to access the USB-OTG chip and tell it to go to sleep, so it uses less power. |
08:48:49 | aliask | Which means more battery :) |
08:49:27 | Jungti1234 | So.. |
08:49:52 | aliask | So for H300 maybe we get 15 (?) hours now. |
08:50:30 | Rekoil | what about iPod ? more batt. too ? or is it a different driver |
08:50:46 | Jungti1234 | amiconn sent to sleep it approaching to USB-OTG chip, and does its battery time become much so? |
08:51:13 | aliask | The ISP1362 chip isn't in the iPod's, so it wasn't taking up any power. (Which means no change for iPod) |
08:51:31 | Jungti1234 | Does its meaning guess right? |
08:51:57 | aliask | Jungti1234: Yes |
08:52:13 | Jungti1234 | ok, Thanks |
08:52:16 | Jungti1234 | and.. |
08:52:29 | Jungti1234 | Then, can it use later? |
08:52:50 | aliask | USB-OTG? Not yet. |
08:53:37 | Jungti1234 | He's accessed to it. |
08:53:39 | Jungti1234 | no? |
08:54:43 | aliask | Yes, but we havn't coded for the chip to access other USB devices yet. It just goes to sleep. |
08:56:00 | Jungti1234 | ah. :) ok |
08:56:43 | Jungti1234 | and.. |
08:58:38 | chendo1 | what's the faster ATA timings do? |
08:59:16 | aliask | I think it gives the harddrive reading a slight speed boost. |
08:59:37 | Jungti1234 | Now, can WPS make to be different in each device? |
08:59:51 | Jungti1234 | 'Added support for multiple rwps for same theme for different devices' |
09:00 |
09:01:15 | Jungti1234 | and, 'Also updated wpsbuild to support different fonts for same theme depending on target screen.' |
09:01:18 | Jungti1234 | what's mean? |
09:02:06 | aliask | I don't know, actually... :) |
09:02:50 | Jungti1234 | ... |
09:03:27 | Jungti1234 | Can it use other font in theme? |
09:03:37 | dongs | no |
09:03:43 | dongs | you can specify a font |
09:03:45 | Jungti1234 | Various fonts |
09:03:50 | dongs | but you cant use multiple fonts |
09:03:56 | Jungti1234 | what's mean |
09:04:03 | dongs | (another misengineering on the developers part) |
09:04:11 | dongs | bcause htey're still trying to support devices with 100x100 monocrhome screens |

09:07:29 | dongs | 10:53 < aliask> Is rockbox.org down? |
09:07:30 | | Quit chendo1 ("( www.nnscript.de :: NoNameScript 4.02 :: www.XLhost.de )") |
09:07:31 | dongs | that was like 6 hours ago |
09:07:39 | aliask | Because I just logged on? |
09:07:43 | aliask | I don't idle in IRC. |
09:07:44 | dongs | well yes? |
09:08:09 | aliask | What exactly are you getting at? |
09:08:12 | scorche | dongs: one does not have to be in IRC to be of use...for all you know, he could be a core dev that simply doesnt come into irc |
09:08:32 | dongs | could would |
09:08:34 | dongs | but is he? |
09:08:41 | aliask | And anyway, what do you have against rockbox? |
09:08:44 | scorche | no....but does that matter? |
09:08:46 | dongs | nothing |
09:08:48 | dongs | its great |
09:09:03 | Jungti1234 | stop |
09:09:06 | aliask | No I'm not. I have submitted a few patches, and been hanging around for about two years. |
09:09:12 | scorche | he may have not been in here that long, but he has been of MUCH more use in here than you have been your whole time |
09:09:26 | dongs | Jungti1234: why are these people so angry. |
09:10:09 | scorche | dongs: cause you do nothing but announce to the channel how the devs are horrible, do things the wrong way...and lets not forget the utter nonsense that you spew |
09:10:57 | * | ashridah notes his first memory of dongs is him being all indignant about his settings getting wiped by a bump in the config version in rockbox. |
09:11:13 | Jungti1234 | I don't speak English, situation isn't grasped.... |
09:11:32 | ashridah | nevermind the fact that from a purely functional stand point, i've seen commercial firmware do the exact same thing |
09:11:42 | scorche | Jungti1234: it is not important...just trying to take care of someone that causes trouble =) |
09:11:43 | ashridah | except flashing the firmware isn't as common there, so you simply dont' care. |
09:11:44 | aliask | Jungti1234: Don't worry, it's not important talk. Dongs is stupid. |
09:12:04 | dongs | ashridah: what, if you thought i was upset about my settings getting wiped, you need to ease off irc |
09:12:34 | scorche | ashridah: you havent seen him at his "high" points |
09:12:51 | ashridah | dongs: i said 'indignant', that's not really the same as upset, but a bit further than irritated. but that said, if you were't upset, why did you start paying out on the developers |
09:12:58 | ashridah | scorche: i've seen enough |
09:13:18 | ashridah | like him ragging on linux based on some fonts from a gnome screenshot (which was actually from freebsd) for instance. |
09:13:26 | scorche | ashridah: i've seen too much =) |
09:13:29 | dongs | pfft |
09:13:31 | dongs | like that matters |
09:13:48 | Jungti1234 | stop fight |
09:13:50 | scorche | ashridah: please dont get him started on linux... =P |
09:14:07 | ashridah | dongs: apparently it does, since everyone in here thinks you're overly negative, and have stopped listenign to your GOOD suggestions. |
09:14:08 | dongs | Jungti1234: ya, they need to STOP_ABUSE |
09:14:10 | Jungti1234 | 'Added support for multiple rwps for same theme for different devices', 'Also updated wpsbuild to support different fonts for same theme depending on target screen.' |
09:14:19 | ashridah | and now start bitching about you whenever you say something. |
09:14:20 | Jungti1234 | I want to know its meaning only. |
09:14:20 | dongs | ashridah: what good suggestions? |
09:14:21 | scorche | Jungti1234: we are trying....and trying to stop future fights (doubt that will happen though) |
09:14:29 | dongs | ashridah: anything I would suggest in here wouldnt be taken seriously because it acutally makese sense |

09:14:54 | dongs | ashridah: last time i suggested compiling rockbox with a real compiler, i was laughed at |
09:14:54 | Jungti1234 | I don't know his mistake. |
09:15:17 | dongs | ashridah: last time i suggested making all the hardware platforms separate instead a mess of #ifdefs in one file, etc etc. |
09:15:19 | ashridah | dongs: just how many free cross compilers do you know of, out of interest? |
09:15:27 | dongs | ashridah: i said real, not free. |
09:15:32 | scorche | dongs: cause that compiler costs an exorbant amount of money |
09:16:19 | dongs | scorche: giving those who own it a choice would be nice. |
09:16:35 | dongs | but using a shitload of (questionable) GNU extensions and GNU asm makes it rather difficult |

09:18:02 | scorche | Jungti1234: basically, it promotes better interoperability between the different units |
09:18:38 | dongs | scorche: i would, but i somehow dont feel like porting pages and pages of gnu asm to a real compiler |
09:19:04 | scorche | Jungti1234: and your last message did not come through clearly (at least not on my screen |

09:33:07 | dongs | what would it do |
09:33:08 | midkay | cool.. |
09:33:10 | daurnimator | what speed arm7 does ipod have? |
09:33:16 | Paul_The_Nerd | Rekoil: Then see if there's an existing feature request, and if there's not one, post one. |
09:33:25 | dongs | 80mhz? |
09:33:29 | dongs | or someshit |
09:33:30 | Rekoil | and where do i do that ? |
09:33:39 | daurnimator | and video ipod? |
09:33:40 | Rekoil | 75mhz i believe |
09:33:45 | Paul_The_Nerd | Rekoil: The link that says "feature Requests" on the main page. |
09:33:48 | dongs | the specs are on ipodlunix website |
09:33:51 | Rekoil | dunno if its model specific |
09:33:52 | amiconn | midkay: I started it ~1.5 hours after commit. Needed to charge the unit completely first |
09:33:53 | dongs | you can find them |
09:34:00 | Paul_The_Nerd | We clock it to 75, but they range from 80 to I think 100 in the minis? |
09:34:00 | Rekoil | Paul_The_Nerd: righto |
09:34:21 | daurnimator | is the video ipod higher? |
09:34:21 | thePianoMan | daurnimator: it's generally clocked back to 30mhz in idle (under RB) |
09:34:23 | scorche | daurnimator: 80 |
09:34:30 | Rekoil | so why do we clock them to 75 if they can do more |
09:34:32 | midkay | amiconn, right. cool. :) |
09:34:36 | amiconn | midkay: Btw, without the fix, the test would have ended ~1.5 hours ago... |
09:34:41 | dongs | Rekoil: because the battery life already sucks |
09:34:47 | Rekoil | oh yeah |
09:34:51 | Rekoil | true |
09:34:59 | midkay | great to hear.. do you have any way to see the percent right now? or see how full the battery appears? |
09:35:06 | amiconn | Paul_The_Nerd: Only the PP5022 (mini g2) is specced up to 100MHz |
09:35:20 | amiconn | mini g1 uses PP5020 (80MHz) |
09:35:25 | Paul_The_Nerd | amiconn: I was close. :-P |
09:35:32 | Rekoil | how come mini 2g runs faster than the video lol |
09:35:49 | Paul_The_Nerd | Rekoil: Because Apple didn't need it to run faster? |
09:35:51 | midkay | dongs, although your mostly-random guesses might occasionally happen to be nearly correct, they aren't generally too useful to people looking for actual information.. we wouldn't clock the cpu down 5mhz because "battery life sucks". |
09:36:01 | scorche | Rekoil: cause it uses a faster processor =) PP5022 vs pp5021 |
09:36:05 | amiconn | Probably because the PP5022 was deemed too expensive, and apple didn't need the extra power |
09:36:07 | Rekoil | yeah that kinda makes sense |
09:36:25 | amiconn | The video uses PP5021 |

09:37:46 | dongs | midkay: then why |
09:37:48 | scorche | midkay: so i was a little late with that remark...sue me |
09:37:59 | Rekoil | ill have a look |
09:38:13 | dongs | last i heard one of the arm cores on nano was turned off to save battery. |
09:38:20 | scorche | daurnimator: nano uses the same as video indeed |
09:38:22 | midkay | dongs, honestly, i think it's because we're being very general about iPod models' cpu. we certainly wouldn't reduce the clock by 5mhz when we're already at 75.. |
09:38:28 | daurnimator | ok |
09:38:33 | daurnimator | and thats 80mhz? |

09:38:51 | scorche | daurnimator: correct |
09:38:58 | Paul_The_Nerd | Apparently the PP5022 claims 200mips, and so does the PP5024, so I wonder if it's safe to assume for the moment that it also is 100mhz. |
09:39:00 | yeahx | hi |
09:39:05 | yeahx | how goes it? |
09:39:25 | Paul_The_Nerd | dongs: Because there's no good reason to run it at full speed and risk generating too much heat? |
09:39:45 | yeahx | I haven't updated rockbox on my nano for a few months now, wouldnt I notice a change if I updated soon? |
09:39:54 | dongs | doubtful |
09:40:02 | dongs | they're not doing anything to ipods |
09:40:07 | dongs | just fixing bugs on all platforms. |
09:40:08 | yeahx | ok |
09:40:26 | yeahx | I was using it exclusively for a while |
09:40:31 | scorche | yeahx: please ignore anything dongs says |
09:40:31 | Paul_The_Nerd | That statement doesn't make sense. Wouldn't "all platforms" imply iPods? |
09:40:44 | dongs | yeahx: why "was"? |
09:40:45 | midkay | honestly.. that should be set as the channel topic. :) |
09:40:59 | scorche | no kidding. |
09:41:06 | scorche | along with no support of vid =P |
09:41:16 | amiconn | The 75MHz were probably chosen for 2 reasons: (1) ipl uses the same value afaik. (2) The pll setup is done in a way that we can increase / decrease in 3 MHz steps |
09:41:23 | midkay | haha. |
09:41:39 | yeahx | dunno, just decided to switch back |
09:41:57 | yeahx | and wait until it matured a little longer |
09:42:08 | amiconn | dongs: |
09:42:09 | amiconn | [09:39:33] <dongs> they're not doing anything to ipods |
09:42:09 | amiconn | [09:39:38] <dongs> just fixing bugs on all platforms. |
09:42:12 | yeahx | I noticed the battery meter was at least trying to work though |
09:42:16 | amiconn | You're contradidcting yourself... |
09:42:32 | midkay | does he ever not? *sighs* |
09:42:34 | scorche | amiconn: nothing new =) |
09:42:42 | yeahx | I think he meant nothing but bug fixes, which would mean i wouldnt notice much of a change |
09:42:52 | thePianoMan | I think what dongs was trying to say is that there are no new features being added, they're just bugfixing in the lead up to the 3.0 release. |
09:42:53 | dongs | amiconn: what now? ive been told more than once that 3.0 has nothign to do with ipods |
09:43:09 | dongs | as its still an 'unsupported' target. |
09:43:12 | dongs | and wont be so until end of htis year |
09:43:18 | midkay | that's not entirely true.. for example the new star/sokoban bitmaps. those affected ipods.. |
09:43:26 | scorche | however, he said "a few months" |
09:43:28 | thePianoMan | some bugs will be fixed in iPods though... if they're cross-platform bugs |
09:43:35 | dongs | gee, well, i kinda doubt thats what yeahx was looking for |
09:43:39 | amiconn | No, and? The higher-level code is more or less the same for all targets |
09:44:06 | midkay | dongs, gee, well, it might be nice to note that "ipods aren't being touched at all for 3.0" is not true. |
09:44:42 | amiconn | e.g. fixing bugs in the playback engine / playlist handling / tagcache / .... affects all platforms |
09:44:55 | yeahx | Id like to mess with the now playing screen more but dont want to bother with it too much |
09:45:15 | midkay | so mess with it, but just be careful not to do it too much. :) |

09:51:42 | midkay | well, 'cept for the MajorChanges wiki page.. |
09:52:01 | ceh | I have heard that rockbox drains battery on the iriver3xx any news on that beeing improve? |
09:52:02 | yeahx | I used to update every monday before work |
09:52:07 | midkay | there might be some technical info in the cvs logs, but it should all make sense to anyone.. |
09:52:25 | yeahx | I could swear it drains my battery more too, but its hard to say |
09:52:27 | midkay | ceh, sure, that problem was more or less entirely solved just today (yesterday for some?) |
09:52:53 | ceh | sounds cool :) |
09:53:02 | yeahx | not that it matters now because my work no longer allows headphones now :( |
09:53:16 | midkay | :\ |
09:53:23 | yeahx | so I only get to use it on the way to work or if I jack it into the radio |
09:54:21 | midkay | oh well.. |

10:10:21 | midgey34 | amiconn: just checking in before sleeping. the h320 is at 4% and has been running for about 13.5 hours |
10:10:34 | midgey34 | if I remember my start time correctly |
10:10:41 | amiconn | What format? |
10:10:48 | amiconn | music format I mean... |
10:10:50 | midgey34 | mp3 192 kbps cbr |
10:11:27 | amiconn | Hmm. I would expect more... What runtime did you get before? |
10:11:41 | midgey34 | eh about 8 hours or so |
10:11:52 | midgey34 | I'm running the iCatcher wps |
10:11:59 | midgey34 | so lots of bitmaps |
10:12:11 | JdGordon | didnt we decide the wps made no difference? |
10:12:27 | midgey34 | I may have missed that, I've been inactive for a while |
10:12:52 | amiconn | Runtime will of course depend on things like backlight etc. My runtime test just plays the same album (192kbps mp3) in 'repeat all' mode. No backlight involved, and logging with battery_bench |
10:12:54 | Paul_The_Nerd | I think it was "little difference" |
10:13:06 | pixelma | maybe because iCatcher updates a lot for animation? |
10:13:29 | amiconn | I use a wps comparable to the default |
10:13:33 | midgey34 | oh, and I have disk poweroff set to no |
10:13:45 | midgey34 | but otherwise same test you described |
10:14:05 | * | amiconn has disk poweroff always enabled on units where it's supported |
10:14:44 | midgey34 | I forgot to change the setting before starting the test |
10:15:06 | midgey34 | all my settings were lost since I havent updating in a while |
10:15:11 | hardeep | directory cache/tag cache in ram will also affect battery life |
10:16:07 | Paul_The_Nerd | amiconn: On my H100, disk poweroff seems to let the buffer empty with flacs with the default 5s anti-skip buffer. |
10:16:09 | amiconn | We need to decide whether it's better to keep the 'disk poweroff' option and just make it enabled by default, or remove the option altogether |

10:16:45 | amiconn | Paul_The_Nerd: That's a known bug in the swcodec playback engine. It doesn't calculate buffer margins as it's supposed to be |
10:16:59 | | Join petur [0] (n=petur@rockbox/developer/petur) |
10:17:20 | amiconn | This bug exists since the swcodec playback engine was committed to cvs... |
10:17:27 | Paul_The_Nerd | amiconn: Yeah, that's kinda what I figured. 15 seconds resolves it for flacs anyway. |
10:17:33 | Paul_The_Nerd | Or at least, my flacs |
10:18:32 | amiconn | The swcodec playback engine doesn't use the setting as an extra margin (as it's suppposed to be), but directly uses it as the margin |
10:19:21 | amiconn | On hwcodec, the engine monitors disk spinup time (using a safe default when the value is not yet availabe), and calculates the buffer margin from that and the track's bitrate |
10:19:32 | Paul_The_Nerd | Aaah |
10:20:09 | chendo | speaking of disk poweroff... that powers off the disk instead of spinning down yeah? |
10:20:09 | amiconn | The anti-skip buffer setting starts from zero on archos, and I never needed a different value than zero |
10:20:35 | Paul_The_Nerd | Yeah, mine's set to 1 second and I've noticed no concerns. |
10:20:48 | Paul_The_Nerd | Is there some reason the Bass and Treble default to 6 instead of 0? |
10:20:51 | amiconn | It's purely extra buffer, for when you're e.g. jogging with the box and the harddisk can't read due to heavy shaking |
10:20:56 | Paul_The_Nerd | 0 seconds, not 1 second. |
10:21:32 | amiconn | The sound defaults are historic, and later we didn't want to change them. |
10:21:38 | Paul_The_Nerd | Aaah |
10:22:21 | amiconn | Iirc Linus or Bagder said that in the beginning users complained that rockbox sounds "thin" compared to archos |
10:22:33 | amiconn | That was even before I joined... |
10:22:43 | Paul_The_Nerd | My very first thought was "Hmm.... this doesn't sound right" and found the settings were up. |
10:22:59 | amiconn | On player, treble and bass default are +7 dB |
10:24:03 | * | Paul_The_Nerd shrugs |
10:24:19 | * | amiconn actually uses roughly those values with earphones |
10:24:57 | Paul_The_Nerd | On mine it sounded too bass heavy. |
10:25:12 | Paul_The_Nerd | But I think the PX100s have a little more bass to them than I'm sure I like |
10:25:19 | amiconn | Since the player's MAS doesn't have loudness, it actually makes sense to boost treble & bass somewhat |
10:25:41 | Paul_The_Nerd | Ah |
10:25:44 | amiconn | ...at least when you're listening at volumes like me |

10:27:25 | Paul_The_Nerd | Low volumes, I take it? |
10:27:51 | amiconn | Same goes for all other targets except archos recorders and Ondios (their MAS chips do have loudness) |
10:28:44 | amiconn | I'm usually listening at -50..-30 dB with earphones |
10:29:24 | Paul_The_Nerd | If I get below about -45 or -50 my headphones start sounding thin. Loudness will help with that? |

10:49:04 | Jungti1234 | hmm |
10:49:13 | Jungti1234 | So.. |
10:49:24 | hardeep | both of those refer to changes to the script used to create themes for each device |
10:49:39 | hardeep | not any new features in the firmware |
10:50:30 | Jungti1234 | Is it meaning that can set to each device and create theme? |

10:50:48 | amiconn | hardeep: Do you know the bookmarking code? |
10:50:59 | hardeep | amiconn: somewhat |
10:51:00 | thePianoMan | it means that one theme can be set for many devices with different displays |
10:52:30 | * | scorche finally finds a moment to go to bed |
10:53:04 | amiconn | hardeep: There are 2 bugs in the bookmarking code which most probably are related. (1) Bookmarking doesn't work when starting a playlist by choosing Playlist->Insert (or Insert Shuffled) on a folder. (2) Bookmarking also doesn't work with tagcache |
10:53:29 | amiconn | It does work fine when starting a playlist by choosing a track from within a folder, or loading an .m3u |
10:53:44 | hardeep | amiconn: both are because bookmarking doesn't work with dynamically created playlists |
10:54:09 | * | JdGordon thinks the playlist code is overly complicated, prob coz /me doesnt undertsnad it :p |
10:54:15 | | Part daurnimator |
10:54:17 | hardeep | we need to change the bookmark format to include the .playlist_control file to handle them |
10:54:28 | amiconn | Hmm, is that documented somewhere? I didn't find anyting in the maunal at least |
10:54:33 | amiconn | *manual |
10:54:43 | hardeep | hmmm, dunno, let me check |
10:55:41 | ceh | im sitting in at a place where I cant install acrobat, thus not being able to read the manual. can anyone tell me where i get the app to patch the hex file for the bootloader? |
10:55:55 | JdGordon | what target? |
10:56:05 | JdGordon | all install instructions are in the wiki.. |
10:56:15 | ceh | ahh thanks :)' |
10:56:35 | * | midgey34 updated the wiki and goes to sleep |
10:57:53 | hardeep | amiconn: yeah, i don't see any references to it either... will update |
10:58:32 | hardeep | i'm going to look into adding support post-3.0 |
10:59:20 | Jungti1234 | thePianoMan |
10:59:30 | JdGordon | u can add cue support while your at it then :D coz they could be handled the same way |

10:59:50 | hardeep | nah, cue support is different |
10:59:57 | Jungti1234 | Is 1 theme included to build setting to device? |
10:59:59 | JdGordon | y? |
11:00 |
11:00:06 | Paul_The_Nerd | Why are bookmarks associated with a playlist, rather than a specific file? |
11:00:30 | thePianoMan | Jungti1234: before, one theme was only for one device; now, one theme can be for many devices |
11:00:41 | Jungti1234 | auto? |
11:00:43 | hardeep | JdGordon: bookmarking a dynamic playlist has no relation to cue support |
11:00:48 | thePianoMan | Jungti1234: there is a theme included with the download I think |
11:00:50 | Jungti1234 | what's mean.. |
11:00:56 | Jungti1234 | oh |
11:01:01 | Jungti1234 | um.. |
11:01:04 | thePianoMan | the change is mainly for theme creators |
11:01:13 | JdGordon | hardeep: it does.. a bookmark is just a position in a audio file.. a cue is just a list of positions in a audio file.. same thing |
11:01:32 | Jungti1234 | I mean.. |
11:01:44 | hardeep | Paul_The_Nerd: no real reason... i'd actually like to see both options available |
11:02:41 | Jungti1234 | A person who create theme makes correct WPS to devices that is many. |
11:02:53 | amiconn | Currently, bookmarks resemble resume points. I actually like it that way |
11:02:58 | hardeep | JdGordon: sure, for loading an individual track. But I'm assuming you're referring to full cue support without our playlist framework |
11:03:28 | Jungti1234 | To each build, is correct theme included to it? |
11:03:29 | hardeep | amiconn: yeah, i like bookmarking playlists... but being able to bookmark individual tracks would also be useful |
11:03:42 | amiconn | Yeah, probably |
11:03:43 | hardeep | JdGordon: s/without/within |
11:03:45 | thePianoMan | Jungti1234: yes, the build has a theme |
11:03:50 | thePianoMan | included |
11:03:51 | JdGordon | ye, i was.. ok |
11:03:54 | Jungti1234 | :D |
11:03:59 | | Part midgey34 |
11:04:03 | Jungti1234 | Thanks thePianoMan |
11:04:12 | thePianoMan | no problem |
11:04:35 | * | JdGordon has an idea for redone playlist code to support cue and bookmarks, but cant figure out how to unshuffle the list |
11:04:50 | JdGordon | but everything else would work, so i dont know if i should start coding or not |
11:05:45 | hardeep | JdGordon: maybe document it first? the playlist code does a lot so it would be good to make sure you have everything covered |
11:06:30 | ceh | when i look under downloads on the rockbox.org and under dailybuilds it seems to be the same zipfile rockbox-h300-20060617 that I download. Is it the same? |
11:06:47 | JdGordon | add track to beinging, end, randomly. shuffle entire list, load from .m3u, save to .m3u and unshuffle. anything missing there? |
11:07:32 | hardeep | JdGordon: in terms of what the playlist code does? |
11:07:37 | JdGordon | ye |
11:08:01 | JdGordon | ..beraing in mind i would keep all the external functions the same so no other code should need major hacing |
11:08:05 | JdGordon | bearing* |
11:08:29 | hardeep | resume is a big one missing from your list |
11:08:41 | hardeep | (most of the complexity in the code revolves around that) |
11:10:13 | JdGordon | resume is just reload from the control file and get it back where it was, thats not all that comlicated is it? |

11:17:27 | hardeep | shriphani: sounds like a bad theme... you need to reset settings |
11:17:38 | hardeep | shriphani: see manual on how to do it for your device |
11:17:44 | shriphani | did it a million times |
11:18:02 | hardeep | did what? reset settings? |

11:18:28 | shriphani | yes i reset settings |
11:18:40 | hardeep | and it didn't go back to default? |

11:22:03 | hardeep | we should probably add some basic sanity checks when loading wps |
11:22:09 | | Quit akaidiot (Read error: 110 (Connection timed out)) |
11:22:27 | Paul_The_Nerd | hardeep: It's really the config loading that does it. The WPS can't set foreground and background colors, which is actually a bad thing. |
11:23:33 | psycho_maniac | im hopefully getting a ipod soon and i was fooling around on the ipod 5g simulator and noticed that for volume and setting changes up is down and down is up. is this the same on the actually player? |
11:23:35 | hardeep | Paul_The_Nerd: ah, right... either way, a check to make sure font color != bg color wouldn't hurt |
11:24:12 | Paul_The_Nerd | hardeep: Yeah, but it might ought to be a range, since black, and black+1 can look pretty similar. ;) |
11:24:37 | hardeep | true, a range check sounds reasonable too |

11:24:42 | | Part shriphani ("dinner") |
11:24:57 | Paul_The_Nerd | psycho_maniac: Clockwise moves down a list, and up volume. Anticlockwise moves up a list, and down volume. |
11:25:46 | psycho_maniac | oh i see how it seems opposite on the simulator |
11:25:51 | Paul_The_Nerd | hardeep: The *real* problem is that sometimes a theme might not set a background color, only a foreground color and a backdrop image. Which means while the foreground color conflicts with the background color, the image used makes it not matter. |

11:49:11 | linuxstb | Thinking about the problem of loading a .cfg file that results in the bgcolor and fgcolor being the same - can anyone think of a better solution than just adding a check at the end of settings_load_config() (just before the call to settings_apply()) which restores the fg and bg colours to the defaults if they end up the same after loading a .cfg file? |

11:49:51 | toed | hi, I was wondering if it was possible to use a larger sized font on rockbox |
11:50:23 | linuxstb | MENU -> General Settings -> Display -> Browse Fonts |
11:50:38 | hardeep | linuxstb: nope, that sounds like the best place |
11:50:45 | Genre9mp3 | linuxstb: The screen may became unreadable not only with "exactly" the same fg & bg colours... |
11:51:01 | markun | toed: and if you don't see any fonts there you need to download them from the download page first |
11:51:12 | Genre9mp3 | hello hardeep...I have some files for you |
11:51:19 | toed | alright I'll try, thanks |
11:51:23 | Genre9mp3 | pixelma's updates |
11:51:32 | hardeep | Genre9mp3: sure |
11:51:45 | linuxstb | Genre9mp3: Yes - if someone can come up with a good "these two colours are indistinguishable" function, we can add it. But for now, a simple comparison is better than nothing. |
11:51:53 | toed | there's no myriad font for rockbox is there? (the font the ipod uses) |
11:52:35 | pixelma | Genre9mp3: :) |
11:53:34 | amiconn | linuxstb: I wouldn't care too much about this problem, mostly because there's another situation that may cause unreadable text, but undetectable - using a text colour that matches a background picture |
11:54:25 | Genre9mp3 | linuxstb: Wouldn't be a weird effect for the users to suddenly switch to the default colours? |
11:54:57 | Genre9mp3 | maybe a better idea would be to revert to the previous colours |
11:55:15 | Genre9mp3 | or maybe...even a warning message |
11:55:27 | hardeep | Genre9mp3: did you send them? |

12:10:38 | linuxstb | Genre9mp3: Yes, switching to the default colours could be considered weird, but it's less weird than Rockbox's UI suddenly disappearing. IMO, a .cfg which doesn't set both fg and bg colours should be considered broken. |

12:17:03 | Genre9mp3 | I think that the fix you are talking about will not help |

12:17:19 | | Nick amiconn_ is now known as amiconn (n=jens@rockbox/developer/amiconn) |
12:17:46 | Genre9mp3 | Cause the problem is not the fg/bg colours but the fg colours with a similar colour of a bacdrop loaded by another theme |
12:17:56 | Genre9mp3 | backdrop |
12:19:28 | Genre9mp3 | The reproduction of the bug can be done by: Using a black backdrop, then load a theme that specifies a black fg colour and doesn't specify a backdrop |
12:19:51 | Genre9mp3 | the old backdrop will remain, while the fg colour will be black |
12:19:59 | Genre9mp3 | That's what causing it |
12:20:50 | pixelma | problem is: when a new theme is loaded that does not set one of the both colours, rockbox uses the old one instead - as shriphani experienced with changing from ubuntu theme to apple theme and get white font on white background |
12:21:05 | Genre9mp3 | So I think, we should somehow force the backdrop to get cleared if a theme doesn't specify one |
12:22:06 | Genre9mp3 | pixelma: Yes, but I think most of the themes specify both colours....I think the backdrop situation is more common |
12:22:56 | Mikachu | do themes usually change both the wps bg and the menu bg bitmaps? |
12:23:15 | Genre9mp3 | But then again, a theme is actually a .cfg...and I don't know if it's wise to clear the backdrop whenever you load a .cfg file |
12:23:43 | pixelma | maybe, that's the worse situation anyways |
12:23:54 | Genre9mp3 | Mikachu: A theme is actually a .cfg file...it can change everything! :) |
12:24:03 | Mikachu | hence the word "usually" |
12:24:55 | Genre9mp3 | Mikachu: Well, there are many themes that use backdrops |
12:24:56 | linuxstb | But there is no way to clear a backdrop - unless just having a line saying "backdrop: " (without a filename) will work. |
12:25:03 | linuxstb | (from a .cfg file) |
12:25:30 | Mikachu | i was just thinking that if most themes are for the wps only, a simple fix would be to separate the wps fg/bg colors from the menu fg/bg colors |
12:25:53 | Genre9mp3 | linuxstb: Does this "backdrop: " work now? |
12:27:05 | linuxstb | I don't know - I'm about to test. |
12:27:42 | Genre9mp3 | Mikachu: Themes, now just set a bg/fg...which is universal, if you make it to change only the wps colours, then themes with backdrop may become a mess |
12:27:51 | Genre9mp3 | ...in the menus |
12:28:02 | Mikachu | okay, scratch that then |

12:42:20 | webguest86 | using file tree |
12:42:28 | JdGordon | ashridah: does synergy just move the mouse across screens? or can u use it to setup the slave comp as an extension of the primary screen without installing a full setup on it? |
12:42:50 | stripwax | webguest86 - potentially - if the file is actually corrupted as a result. |
12:43:13 | webguest86 | thanks |
12:43:20 | stripwax | webguest86 - depends what you mean by 'messed up' though .. ? |
12:43:43 | webguest86 | non existant, or only in ape format |
12:44:21 | stripwax | webguest86 - non existant should be fine of course. I don't know about ape format though, I'm afraid. I think that should be fine too though |
12:45:04 | ashridah | it moves a mouse and keyboard input across screens, basically. |
12:45:21 | linuxstb | pixelma: Yes - solitaire is still on my to-do list... |
12:45:38 | stripwax | quick question about "antialiased fonts" - since we can currently set a font color, and the font bitmaps are stored 1bpp, is it that all that's required is to store more than 1bpp for fonts and use that as opacity? |
12:45:48 | ashridah | you need it running on both sides, however, it uses its own protocol |
12:46:03 | Mikachu | stripwax: you would need to implement alphatransparent rendering too |
12:46:04 | stripwax | e.g. 2bpp fonts would probably look pretty good |
12:46:09 | Mikachu | i don't think it currently is |
12:46:19 | pixelma | linuxstb: didn't want to get on your nerves, just reminding |
12:46:24 | | Part webguest86 |
12:46:34 | linuxstb | pixelma: no problem... |
12:46:46 | stripwax | Mikachu - well, not across the board, just for fonts (should be easy on colour targets, I'd have thought) |
12:47:26 | Mikachu | i don't it matters much what you intend to draw |
12:47:58 | Mikachu | think |
12:48:05 | stripwax | Hrm, do we use the same blt functions to render fonts as we do to render full colour bitmaps? (even though the font data is only stored 1bpp?) |
12:48:26 | stripwax | I guess if we do, that makes it quite a bit trickier.. |
12:48:43 | Mikachu | there are some special monochrome functions i think |
12:49:18 | JdGordon | ashridah: ah ok, not want i want then.. :( |
12:49:19 | stripwax | Mikachu - thx. so some simple mono-with-alpha function should be straightforward |
12:49:30 | linuxstb | The general consensus seems to be that alpha-blended fonts would be too resource-intensive. But feel free to prove the opposite :) The font drawing is already too slow for large LCDs. |
12:49:44 | ashridah | JdGordon: well, that's pretty much the same thing x2x does |
12:49:49 | ashridah | what're you trying to do? |
12:50:02 | stripwax | linuxstb - thx. I might just have a play |

14:18:53 | JdGordon | congrats amiconn, now we can release 3.0 and get out fo the freeze :D |
14:19:04 | JdGordon | :D nice improvement there |
14:19:27 | Genre9mp3 | amiconn: me too....and I'm pretty excited about that! :) |
14:19:54 | amiconn | I'm testing with 192kbps, so I expect a little less |
14:20:29 | amiconn | JdGordon: Unfortunately not, I'm afraid. It just means we don't need to exclude the H300 from 3.0 |
14:21:04 | JdGordon | the swcodec bugs still holding it back? |

14:37:46 | chendo | i'll play with people's minds in the park |
14:38:08 | Genre9mp3 | petur also makes a recording battery bench! |
14:40:04 | amiconn | An interesting side note: Since putting the USB OTG controller to sleep seems to almost double battery runtime, that means the chip draws more power (when active) than the CPU (on average) |
14:40:33 | Genre9mp3 | yes..it hungries! |
14:40:57 | amiconn | Why? Because the other half is split further - between CPU, RAM and harddisk |
14:41:00 | chendo | maybe it's trying to power a host device when there isn't any? |
14:41:22 | stripwax | chendo - there should be no draw if that's true |

14:47:22 | Genre9mp3 | Would it be exaggerating to have different ETAs depending the codec and the bitrate? |

14:47:56 | Genre9mp3 | Let people choose beside the battery, the file types they use |
14:47:57 | stripwax | chendo - puzzle bobble doesn't require spinning up the disk iirc, so uses little power.. |
14:48:13 | chendo | yeah i know... but still ;p |
14:48:27 | amiconn | Genre9mp3: 2 facts regarding the LCD will probably compensate each other wrt runtime: H1x0 has a monochrome lcd which means less data changing when drawing, and less data to move over to the lcd, but the lcd itself is updated all the time |
14:48:29 | stripwax | chendo- and as Genre9mp3 says, the battery life on the H3xx is now like 20 hours.. |

14:52:37 | Genre9mp3 | amiconn: What do you feel about codec-dependent Battery estimations? |
14:53:27 | thePianoMan | maybe the battery estimation could be just bitrate-dependent coz the bitrate determines the duty cycle of the HDD |
14:53:43 | thePianoMan | and the HDD would use more power than the CPU, no? |
14:54:31 | Mikachu | that would only be true for hdd based players |
14:54:41 | thePianoMan | hmm true |
14:55:01 | thePianoMan | I guess the flash mem access wouldn't be nearly as high a proportion as for a hdd access |

14:55:54 | thePianoMan | Genre9mp3, wouldn't that be (at least in part) due to the larger files/higher bitrate of ogg? I'm not sure on this as I'm not 100% familiar with the ogg format |

14:57:23 | thePianoMan | ahh ok, so more processing required to decode them. fair enough |
14:57:33 | amiconn | What would possibly make sense is extending the (already existing) battery runtime log into a system that monitors battery usage, and adapts the estimation based on past values |

16:00 |
16:00:01 | XavierGr | though many 2200mah batteries are cheap ones that can't manage to give more than 1900mah |
16:00:13 | XavierGr | saa[b_r]ider:of course |
16:00:38 | XavierGr | If the results are great I think I will pester Jeff for another front page news about Rockbox. |
16:00:46 | saa[b_r]ider | I'm still running on the stock 1300, but now I'm encouraged to upgrade! |
16:00:49 | saa[b_r]ider | (I |
16:01:15 | saa[b_r]ider | (I'm still waiting for this news to hit the top of MR's site ) :D |
16:01:25 | Genre9mp3 | saa[b_r]ider: Why upgrade now? There's no need to...NOW |
16:01:30 | Genre9mp3 | ;) |
16:01:39 | * | saa[b_r]ider is greedy |
16:01:44 | saa[b_r]ider | :p |
16:02:54 | saa[b_r]ider | other than amiconn, who else helped with this magnificent update (not that other developments are any less magnificent ;) ) |
16:05:19 | preglow | i believe amiconn did the bulk of the work |
16:05:52 | dionoea | anyone here know if Eli Sherer is on this chan ? |
16:06:05 | dionoea | (person who coded xobox, rockpaint ...) |
16:06:34 | saa[b_r]ider | dionoea: in the past he logged-on as eli_sherer so it doesn't seem like he's here |
16:06:46 | dionoea | ok ... well i'll send him an email then |
16:06:56 | preglow | dionoea: if he is, he usually calls himself eli_sherer, i believe |
16:07:00 | preglow | yeah |
16:08:36 | dionoea | maybe someone here knows if he's still working on rockpaint or not ? |
16:08:42 | Mikachu | i think Paprica knows him |
16:08:58 | saa[b_r]ider | yup |
16:09:12 | dionoea | Paprica: ? |

17:06:50 | JdGordon | bash |
17:07:48 | Mikachu | in zsh you can do for a (*) {mv $a ${(L)a}} |
17:08:14 | Mikachu | which doesn't help you |

17:09:35 | Mikachu | echo $a |
17:09:41 | Mikachu | or you'll lose all files :P |
17:10:08 | Mikachu | yeah, with $a it seems to work |
17:10:20 | Mikachu | no warranty though |
17:11:00 | Mikachu | i guess you could use the "tolower" command if you have that too :P |
17:11:28 | JdGordon | i did it without sudo so it wouldnt actually do it.. but... "mv: cannot move `TEMPEST.ZIP' to `a': Permission denied" they all say to 'a' ? |

17:13:26 | idnar | there's a utility called "rename" or "prename" that comes with perl |
17:15:25 | idnar | basically lets you use any perl expression to manipulate filenames |
17:15:44 | idnar | in this case, you could do: rename 'tr[A-Z][a-z]' path/to/files/* |

19:13:20 | XavierGr | saa[b_r]ider: except the dircache no. |
19:13:55 | saa[b_r]ider | so you have dircache on, and disk power off on as well |
19:14:08 | XavierGr | so yes my battery time can be increased further with some tweaking. Though it will be negligible. |

19:18:50 | Mikachu | Paprica: have you done it already? |
19:19:10 | saa[b_r]ider | let's see if I can replicate anything close to 20 hours on the stock battery |

19:59:33 | juxtap | (plugged directly into plug port with usb adapter) |
20:00 |
20:00:37 | obo | hold down the menu button in rockbox when plugging the cable in |
20:00:44 | juxtap | tried that |
20:00:53 | juxtap | all that does is load apple os |

20:20:24 | saa[b_r]ider | XavierGr: did you use the RB benchmark to time the battery life? or did you just play and take a note of when you started and when it died? |
20:20:50 | saa[b_r]ider | San: hi San, interview as in have a look and tell you what we think? |
20:21:22 | San | no |
20:21:33 | San | i just ask you questions and then you answer them |

20:24:17 | San | ok.. :( |
20:24:39 | San | Paul_The_Nerd: are you a dev? |
20:25:18 | Paul_The_Nerd | I wouldn't say so, no. |
20:25:30 | San | oh, ok then.. |
20:25:45 | Paul_The_Nerd | People frequently mistake me for one. It's kinda funny. |
20:25:49 | San | lol |
20:25:50 | preglow | haha |

20:26:17 | San | well, if anyone would like to then.. just tell me here or on MR |

20:28:57 | saa[b_r]ider | XavierGr: please forgive my ignorance, can you point me to a guide on how to use it, or is it really very simple? |
20:29:33 | XavierGr | saa[b_r]ider: just select the battery_bench.rock and hit play. |
20:29:44 | XavierGr | then you can continue with normal usage of your player. |
20:29:47 | preglow | Paul_The_Nerd: dunno, that's why i ask |
20:29:56 | Paul_The_Nerd | preglow: I see a 13h46m and a 20h30m runtime on the page, both supposedly from Standard batteries. |
20:30:01 | XavierGr | http://www.rockbox.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/PluginBatteryBenchmark |
20:30:18 | Paul_The_Nerd | preglow: The 13h was 192kbps, no disk poweroff, the 20h was 128kbps, poweroff enabled. |
20:30:19 | saa[b_r]ider | XavierGr: play or navi? |
20:30:47 | preglow | Paul_The_Nerd: i've got a feeling disk poweroff is very effective |
20:30:53 | | Quit Poka64 ("brb") |
20:30:58 | XavierGr | preglow: Genre9mp3 just reported 20 hours and 38 minutes with his h300 on default battery and 128kbps mp3s |
20:31:11 | XavierGr | saa[b_r]ider: play |
20:31:16 | preglow | so h1x0 still has better performance, then |
20:31:25 | preglow | to be expected, i guess |
20:32:08 | Paul_The_Nerd | But it's much closer, and the "Rockbox destroys your batteries" folks should be quelled for the time being. |
20:32:13 | XavierGr | preglow : just a tiny bit... |
20:32:22 | XavierGr | 20 minutes so no one is sure. |
20:32:31 | XavierGr | for me it is virtually the same |
20:32:36 | preglow | i got 20:15 out of an old battery on hi bps mp3s |

20:54:53 | Paul_The_Nerd | Well whether you want Rockbox depends on if you want Rockbox's features. |
20:55:23 | Paul_The_Nerd | But most of us prefer it by a long shot over the built-in firmware on our players |

21:30:34 | dionoea | do you get spam with links hidden in smileys or punctation signs too ? |
21:30:41 | dionoea | these are kind of tricky to spot |
21:30:45 | Paul_The_Nerd | Haven't yet. |
21:30:55 | dionoea | we have them all the time on the videolan forums |
21:31:12 | dionoea | so you have to look at the message's source to check ... kind of horrible |
21:31:15 | Paul_The_Nerd | We've *just* started getting spam as far as I know. |
21:31:27 | Paul_The_Nerd | On to forums, that is. |
21:31:40 | Paul_The_Nerd | The wiki has been getting hit now and then for a while |
21:32:18 | * | dionoea wishes that good spam filters existed |
21:32:46 | * | Paul_The_Nerd wishes that spam simply didn't earn money, so they'd stop doing it. |
21:32:53 | dionoea | hehe :) |
21:33:34 | dionoea | does rockbox have float support ? (and stuff like sqrt() ?) |
21:33:51 | Paul_The_Nerd | Seriously, I want to find the 5 people that have to click spam links anywhere on Earth and actually make the practice profitable, and explain to them that 6billion people would like them to stop buying those pills their email keeps recommending. |
21:34:01 | dionoea | :) |
21:34:02 | Paul_The_Nerd | Rockbox is fixed point. |
21:34:26 | preglow | yes, yes it is |
21:34:40 | obo | dionoea: I've just found and used a fixed-point sqrt |
21:34:55 | preglow | it has floating point support, as in it can support floating point operations, but it will be VERY slow since it's emulated |
21:35:01 | preglow | also, we have no libm |
21:35:11 | dionoea | obo: well it's just to draw an oval :) so i guess that i'll do some ugly stuff :) |
21:35:13 | preglow | there already is a fixed point sqrt in rockbox |
21:35:19 | preglow | in eq.c |
21:35:20 | dionoea | oh, where ? |
21:35:22 | obo | doh! |
21:35:23 | dionoea | thanks |
21:35:34 | obo | preglow: don't suppose you know of a log10 then?? ;) |
21:35:43 | preglow | there is a log10 in rockbox as well |
21:35:45 | preglow | in replaygain.c |
21:35:58 | preglow | i'm planning to make a fixed point math library some time |
21:36:16 | obo | that would be good :D |
21:36:17 | dionoea | you even have sin and cos ! great :) |
21:36:27 | preglow | btw |
21:36:28 | preglow | i suck |
21:36:30 | preglow | we have no log10 |
21:36:30 | Paul_The_Nerd | dionoea: Does the oval need to actually be drawn? |
21:36:32 | preglow | only exp10 |
21:36:37 | obo | ah, okay |
21:36:43 | dionoea | Paul_The_Nerd: it's for rockpaint ... so ... yeah :p |
21:36:48 | Paul_The_Nerd | Aaah |
21:36:48 | preglow | dionoea: yeah, really good sin/cos to boot |
21:37:01 | Paul_The_Nerd | Bah, with screens that small, people can hand-plot their curves. |
21:37:19 | obo | I've found a natural log, but to convert to log10 I need to do ln(x)/ln(10), and under fixed point it's throwing away too much precision :( |
21:37:36 | obo | but then again, I could easily be doing something stupid |
21:37:40 | preglow | dividing by ten is throwing awao too much precision???? |
21:37:46 | dionoea | can't you just count the number of digits and then do some simple stuff ? |
21:37:51 | preglow | what the hell are you making, a fractal zoomer? |
21:38:02 | obo | hehe, no, vu_meter... |
21:38:14 | preglow | you don't need that precision for a vu meter |
21:38:17 | obo | shifting to 16.16 |
21:38:18 | preglow | i can pretty much guarantee you that |
21:39:29 | obo | yeah, output wise I only need ints, but somehow I'm killing it before that... anyway, bbiab |

21:52:50 | XavierGr | if a stock battery managed 20 hours I should get at least 29-30 |

21:53:36 | XavierGr | we will see I don't rememver exactly when I started the benchmark |
21:54:03 | preglow | dionoea: no |
21:54:10 | preglow | dionoea: i'd rather we put those in a separate lib |

23:05:38 | * | amiconn appears |
23:06:14 | * | Paul_The_Nerd cheers |
23:06:18 | amiconn | Result from my H300 runtime test (192kbps mp3, disk poweroff enabled, no backlight, 0dB line out): 20h 26min (!!) |
23:08:57 | preglow | amiconn: saw my question? |
23:09:33 | * | amiconn scrolls back |
23:09:42 | preglow | an hour ago or so |
23:09:54 | preglow | haha |
23:10:06 | preglow | it doesn't look like bitrate has much to say at all on battery time when playing mp3s |
23:11:02 | amiconn | Hmm, I don't really understand... do you want to put some fixed point fns in the core? |
23:11:38 | preglow | _i_ want them in a separate library that can be linked to whatever needs it |
23:12:02 | preglow | we already have fixed point fns in the core, they're just not exported to plugins |
23:12:45 | amiconn | Well, so far there's a clear approach. If we need a certain function in the core, we put it there, and if plugins/codecs should also be able to use it, we put it into the api |
23:13:18 | amiconn | But if there are functions which are not needed in the core, we put it into a library and link it against plugins/codecs |
23:13:36 | amiconn | s/put it/put them/ |
23:13:53 | preglow | they're needed here and there in the core, but already someone's requested a fixed point fn that's not needed by the core |
23:14:00 | preglow | i can very well see it being useful, though |
23:14:43 | preglow | if it's not needed in the core, it should be added to the plugin source, but i'd like it if all fixed point stuff was put in one place, which then again pretty much means a library is needed |
23:15:38 | amiconn | Thing is, if we put all functions into the core, we bloat the core, and if we put all functions in libraries, we bloat the codec+plugins |
23:15:55 | preglow | sure |
23:15:58 | preglow | there's a tradeoff |
23:16:37 | Paul_The_Nerd | Isn't it better to bloat the plugins? |
23:16:51 | preglow | i'd say so |
23:17:48 | amiconn | I'd say neither the core nor the plugins should be bloated unnecessarily |
23:18:05 | amiconn | What's wrong with the current approach? |
23:18:30 | preglow | that fixed point code is thrown all over the place |
23:19:09 | preglow | anyway, all fixed point code in rockbox should be put in a single file anyway |
23:19:18 | amiconn | 'all over the place'? Just 2 different places... |
23:19:23 | preglow | right now we have some in eq.c, some in dsp.c, some in replaygain.c |
23:19:30 | preglow | plug whatever is used in some plugins |
23:20:31 | preglow | is that general enough to be put in firmware/ or what? |

23:25:53 | amiconn | XavierGr: Expect something around 27:30 |
23:26:18 | XavierGr | yeah that is what I think too. |
23:26:43 | XavierGr | though the ETA is so off, that I was scared for a moment |
23:27:28 | XavierGr | it said 3 hours to shut down and it is playing for more than 5 hours. We should definitely calibrate it with all those benchmarks |
23:28:07 | amiconn | Guess why I'm doing these? |
23:28:14 | preglow | we need more than mp3 benchmarks first |
23:28:20 | amiconn | Collecting data for runtime calibration |
23:28:22 | preglow | we can't use mp3 benchmarks for avg batt runetime |
23:28:27 | preglow | runtime too |
23:28:43 | preglow | an average of mp3, ogg and flac would be nice |
23:28:43 | amiconn | ..varying parameters |
23:29:25 | amiconn | I disagree somewhat |
23:29:35 | preglow | why? |

23:30:04 | amiconn | (1) mp3 is the most widespread format. It's also supported on all targets |
23:30:08 | XavierGr | amiconn: yes I know :p |
23:30:19 | preglow | amiconn: moot point, the runtime estimation won't be cross target |
23:30:20 | amiconn | (2) It's a clearly defined base for runtime measurement |
23:30:24 | preglow | it has to be done per target |
23:30:50 | preglow | in what way is mp3 a better base than ogg? the last point just sounds the like first point again |
23:31:10 | preglow | yes, mp3 is the most widespread, but for those who don't use it, the runtime estimation will be waaay off |
23:31:32 | amiconn | (2) would allow using any format, as long as it's the same for all measurements, with an average and widespread bitrate |
23:31:48 | Paul_The_Nerd | You should do MP3 and WAV, and use them as a range. WAV would be the lowest runtime, right? Most disk spinups? |
23:31:57 | preglow | yea |
23:32:11 | amiconn | The runtime estimation won't be way off. It would be off by a factor not deviating much from 1 |
23:32:30 | preglow | i'd like to see a benchmark before i'll guess too much about that |
23:32:36 | amiconn | Furthermore, runtime depends a lot on actual usage, most probably more than on different formats |
23:32:41 | preglow | i really have no idea how the other codecs perform right now |
23:33:23 | preglow | sure, indeed |
23:33:34 | Paul_The_Nerd | Though I think having an estimated "minimum playback time left" (assuming the user doesn't fiddle with the controls) is better than an estimation that's average or maximum. |
23:33:38 | preglow | but i still say basing runtime estimation on mp3 only is a bit weird |
23:34:27 | preglow | Paul_The_Nerd: then we'd have to base runtime estimation on our worst performing codec, assuming backlgiht gets switched on all the time and tracks changed a lot |
23:34:32 | preglow | not an easy benchmark to do |
23:34:51 | amiconn | Paul_The_Nerd: That would make the user think of it as some kind of guaranteed runtime, which it isn't and will never be. |
23:34:59 | amiconn | It's simply impossible |
23:35:07 | Paul_The_Nerd | True |
23:35:35 | preglow | your proposition to use mp3 benchmarks as time estimation isn't much better |
23:35:38 | Paul_The_Nerd | I was thinking more simply use the worst-performing codec, rather than one of the best. |
23:35:40 | amiconn | What if the user keeps the disk spinning all the time? What if he's operating the device at -20 °C ? |
23:35:46 | preglow | it'll overshoot so much as to be almost unusable |
23:36:11 | Paul_The_Nerd | Not as a guaranteed minimum, but as a "Assuming you just leave it playing right now, you should *probably* get at least this much time left" |
23:36:15 | | Join heff_ [0] (n=felix@84.44.244.148) |
23:37:11 | amiconn | preglow: I doubt that it will overshoot much. Perhaps up to a factor of 2, but even that is unlikely |
23:38:08 | amiconn | And using 192kbps mp3 does certainly not yield the maximum runtime |
23:38:11 | dionoea | does rockbox alread have a write_bmp_file (or equivalent) function ? |
23:38:22 | amiconn | There are user with audiobooks and the like at 32kbps... |
23:38:28 | amiconn | *users |
23:38:31 | Paul_The_Nerd | Ooh, ooh, that's me! |
23:38:33 | tucoz | dionoea, the screen dump perhaps? |
23:38:41 | Paul_The_Nerd | Mono, 32kbps, 22khz if I recall. |
23:38:45 | dionoea | tucoz: hum ... right. thanks :) |
23:39:37 | preglow | amiconn: would be fun to see a benchmark at 32kbps, heh |
23:40:07 | XavierGr | haha |
23:40:12 | XavierGr | or make an idle benchmark |
23:40:25 | Paul_The_Nerd | Or Radio |
23:40:25 | | Quit PaulJam (Read error: 110 (Connection timed out)) |
23:40:35 | XavierGr | how much can rockbox run without doing anything? |
23:40:37 | tucoz | On devices such as the nano, what is the best option (battery wise). Wav or mp3? |
23:40:54 | Paul_The_Nerd | Theoretically WAV I would say, right? |
23:41:36 | preglow | probably |
23:41:39 | amiconn | Radio will probably give a really long time. CPU running at 11MHz... |
23:41:56 | preglow | amiconn: even retailos runs for ages on radio |
23:42:14 | | Join akaidiot [0] (n=not@217.28.34.35) |
23:42:24 | * | amiconn never used radio in retailos |
23:42:32 | tucoz | yeah, the radio has save me lot's of times when I was low on battery |
23:42:39 | tucoz | lots |
23:43:09 | preglow | i've used it a couple of times |
23:43:16 | preglow | once i used it for hours and hours |
23:43:20 | preglow | had almost no impact on battery |
23:43:29 | XavierGr | I can imagine... |
23:43:50 | preglow | yeah, when i used it for the local broadcast on an airshow once |
23:44:10 | preglow | eight hours or so, nothing much happened on the battery indicator |
23:45:34 | * | amiconn still has the idea of a wakeup timer for H1x0 on his todo list |
23:45:46 | preglow | i'd like that too, but i don't really need it anymore |
23:45:48 | preglow | since i got the nano |
23:46:45 | tucoz | would you run it on 11Mhz then? Or even some lower frequency? |
23:46:55 | tucoz | s/on/at |
23:46:56 | amiconn | In addition to running the CPU at 11MHz (or depending on the additional requirements of the PLL, even 6.25MHz), we can put the LCD into standby, and switch off DRAM refresh, running the timer loop in IRAM only. Then set the timer interrupt from 100Hz to 1Hz |
23:47:25 | XavierGr | how long can it last in that mode (theoritically)? |
23:47:32 | tucoz | ages ;) |
23:47:38 | amiconn | I think a couple of days... perhaps a week |
23:48:04 | preglow | a week sounds plausible enough |
23:48:10 | Paul_The_Nerd | More than long enough, either way. |
23:48:10 | gpoo | how do you people use ipod in your car |
23:48:16 | amiconn | It really depends on what we can powerdown, and how the CPU power requirements change with frequency |
23:48:23 | preglow | amiconn: coldfire uses 1ma per mhz, yes? |
23:48:32 | amiconn | No, less |
23:48:35 | preglow | sure? |
23:48:45 | preglow | i think they stated it somewhere |
23:48:47 | preglow | can't remember where |
23:48:54 | preglow | anyway |
23:48:59 | preglow | i doubt the pll sucks that much |
23:50:25 | gpoo | what is your people choose for using rockbox in the car |
23:50:28 | gpoo | I need some input |
23:50:35 | gpoo | my car has a cassete player |
23:51:06 | Paul_The_Nerd | Then use a cassette adapter. |
23:51:13 | gpoo | my question was which is th ebest one |
23:51:15 | amiconn | I just connect one of my rockboxes to my car stereo via aux in |
23:51:18 | gpoo | best one, I tryed three of them |
23:51:29 | gpoo | and they all auto reverse |
23:51:30 | gpoo | a lot |
23:51:45 | gpoo | after like one hour of play then every min it auto reserve it annoys me |
23:51:48 | Paul_The_Nerd | This is really a question you should be asking somewhere else, since it's not really Rockbox related. |
23:52:03 | Paul_The_Nerd | But it sounds like an issue with your tape deck. |
23:52:18 | gpoo | how is the quality of your aux |
23:52:19 | | Quit heff (Read error: 110 (Connection timed out)) |
23:52:28 | gpoo | Paul_The_Nerd do you think something can be done to my tape deck |
23:52:42 | gpoo | oh sorry I knw it not rockbox |
23:53:02 | Paul_The_Nerd | It would really depend on what's wrong with it. And an aux-input would sound noticeably better than a tape adapter. |
23:53:18 | gpoo | I want to get pionner was my final question, which is to say will rockbox work with pionner setup |
23:53:29 | gpoo | as to play and change songs even gapless |
23:54:09 | Paul_The_Nerd | If it uses the accessory protocol, that aspect of it won't work, and it's possible it won't work at all. If it simply uses the line out, it should work. |
23:54:48 | gpoo | oh it uses accessory protocol |
