#rockbox log for 2006-07-02

00:02:10LinusNnot necessarily
00:03:07Rincewind_12I just observed that some patches do it this way (which would be some kind of "object oriented" ^^)
00:04:22LinusNwe are KISS followers here
00:04:57Rincewind_12what does KISS stand for (googling this wouldnt get the right answer I suppose...)
00:05:07LinusNKeep it Simple Stupid

00:12:08x1jmpis it possible to control the leds of the h1x0? the led function has no effect...
00:12:26 Join petur [0] (n=petur@rockbox/developer/petur)
00:12:59Rincewind_12I don't think so, but it would be cool to have the green led flashing on recording
00:13:59LinusNno, you can't control the leds
00:14:55x1jmpso they are completely controlled by the hardware?
00:15:00LinusNyes
00:23:23x1jmprockbox freezes when i often use pcmbuf_beep without having a longer pause between the calls
00:23:34x1jmpcan someone explain that?
00:24:26LinusNno i can't
00:25:48LinusNhow long does the pause need to be?
00:26:28LinusNok i see it
00:26:57LinusNthe beep function mixes the beep tone into existing pcm data to be played
00:27:32LinusNand there has to be a free chunk of pcm data in the queue for it to work
00:27:52LinusNbut it shouldn't freeze...

00:32:36MoosHello
00:32:44*petur hands LinusN the bug-zapper device
00:33:01LinusNhmm, maybe i'm wrong
00:33:13*petur asks it back ;)

00:34:10*LinusN drops the bug-zapper device
00:34:15*LinusN goes north
00:34:43peturmoo?
00:35:19x1jmpis there an alternative to pcm_beep? preferly one which is already in the plugin api
00:35:31LinusNno there isn't
00:35:37LinusNand it shouldn't freeze
00:36:32LinusNx1jmp: are you playing music at the same time?
00:36:44x1jmpno
00:37:06LinusNthen i think i see a problem...
00:37:26LinusNhow long is the duration of the beep?
00:37:56x1jmp100 and 300 msecs
00:38:33LinusNif no sound is playing, it looks like the duration has to be shorter than the interval
00:39:23LinusNi still don't see how it should freeze though
00:39:42x1jmpso if i play music it shouldn't crash? ;)
00:40:15LinusNwell, you will probably see other interesting problems :-)
00:41:41x1jmpworks perfectly while playing music :)
00:42:08LinusNok
00:42:24x1jmpbut it's not a solution for me...
00:43:39LinusNi know
00:44:11LinusNdoes it work if you do 100ms beeps in 110ms intervals?
00:48:57x1jmpseems not
00:49:13LinusNhmmm
00:49:34 Quit akaidiota (Read error: 104 (Connection reset by peer))
00:49:40x1jmpbtw when does it load the original firmware after a reset and when not?
00:50:00 Join akaidiot [0] (n=not@217.28.34.35)
00:50:43Rincewind_12I think it depends on the RAM, if the unit is off for a while rb gets loaded, but if started immideatly the original firmware is "faster"
00:50:49LinusNit always loads rockbox unless you reset in the bootloader
00:51:46Rincewind_12if i reset (in rockbox) and start again immediatly afterwards I almost ever get the original firmware
00:52:12LinusNwhich device?
00:52:15 Quit lds_ ("Parti")
00:52:16x1jmpsame sometimes for me
00:52:19Rincewind_12If think this is "warm boot" versus "cold boot"
00:52:22Rincewind_12iriver h120
00:53:16LinusN"and start again"?
00:53:26x1jmpi have the same device and it sometimes starts the rockbox even if i restart immediately
00:53:31 Join scorche [0] (n=scorche@208-110-158-188.customer.csolutions.net)
00:53:35LinusNwhen you reset the h120, it always starts automatically
00:53:42Rincewind_12reset with the pin -> unit shuts down -> press ON to start again
00:53:53x1jmpyes, it shuts down
00:54:57LinusNmy h1x0 device start when i push the reset button
00:55:08LinusNin fact, all my h1x0 devices do
00:55:33ender`mine doesn't, though IIRC it used to
00:55:36Rincewind_12when my player was new it reseted for my too, but for quite a while it just shuts down
00:56:10LinusNthat's weird
00:56:31Rincewind_12I hope this is not a sign that the reset won't work some time in the future...
00:56:36x1jmpmaybe changed by an update of the original firmware?
00:56:52LinusNit's a hardware thing
00:57:05LinusNtha firmware can't control the reset
00:57:37Rincewind_12I didn't open my player yet, btw.
00:57:59x1jmpI also didn't and it never restarted
00:58:50LinusNwell, if you only have the original firmware, it may look as if it turns off
00:59:19LinusNbecause the original bootloader turns off if the On button isn't pressed when it starts
00:59:25|apo|I just watched a 45-minutes-firework.
00:59:27|apo|:D
00:59:53LinusNsome versions of the rockbox bootloader does that too
01:00

01:04:46peturbtw, Linus, am I correct that we still miss something for h3x0 power management (that usb hub/pc selection in retailos)? (sorry to bump into the conversation)
01:05:02LinusNpetur: correct
01:05:13***Saving seen data "./dancer.seen"
01:05:41peturdoes it depend on some connection on the pcb we don't know yet?

So just adding a FAT32 partition to that disk won't work - you'll either need to add APM support to Rockbox or repartition to use a MBR partition map.

16:15:48PaulJamyes, the peakmeter eats a lot of cpu time.
16:16:11user01thats the two horizontal bars at the bottom?
16:16:19PaulJamyes
16:16:27user01how do i turn them off?
16:16:51PaulJamyou need to load another wps/theme that has no peakmeters

16:17:57user01is there a way to figure out what theme uses the least?

16:37:15PaulJamuser01: or you could try if it helps to create a wps that shows only minimal info and without graphics

16:38:01linuxstb_Schu: All of the supported ones on the front page apart from the Archos models. The iriver H1x0 and H3x0 are the best supported in Rockbox at the moment.

16:42:06linuxstb_Schu: Yes - they have a very slow CPU but a DSP which takes care of the MP3 decoding. The CPU probably wouldn't be able to decode FLAC, but WAV playback has just become possible.

16:44:32Genre9mp3Schu: Most probably
16:44:33Paul_The_NerdGenre9mp3: You should suggest to them that they create a http://www.rockbox.org/twiki/bin/viewauth/Main/IaudioRuntime page in our Wiki for Rockbox runtime tests, to go along with the IpodRuntime and IriverRuntime ones
16:45:32linuxstb_Genre9mp3: I'm surprised by that - it's worse than the ipods...
16:46:14Genre9mp3Paul_The_Nerd: Sure but I am not posting on iaudiophile.net actually... I was just curious one day and searched for that... besides, I don't have an X5
16:46:22Paul_The_NerdAh
16:46:57Genre9mp3AFAIK, it's 15 hours with iAudio original fw
16:47:19PaulJammaybe it is a similar problem like on the h300, the iaudio also has usbotg.
16:48:11Genre9mp3PaulJam: Yes, it could be that, too... but besides that, the Power managment is on early stages on X5
16:48:15Paul_The_NerdYeah, I was reading to see if they say more about the test conditions later on.
16:50:24Paul_The_NerdWhat we need is a .cfg file, and a playlist of Free audio files (mp3s preferably) available at the battery_bench wiki page, so that in the future everyone can run battery bench under as identical conditions as we can come up with.
16:50:42Genre9mp3Does anybody know, if H300 is capable of 24bit 96Khz wav playback? Does rockbox support that on swcodec targets?
16:51:05Paul_The_NerdIsn't the max for the Hxxx's 20/48? Or 20/44?
16:51:08linuxstb_Yes, it's supported. But it will be downsampled to 16-bit/44.1KHz.
16:51:25Genre9mp3ok...thanx guys
16:51:50linuxstb_The ipods should be able to support it (the DAC goes up to 24-bit/96KHz) but it's not implemented yet.
16:52:22Genre9mp3linuxstb_: Hmmm...didn't knew that about iPods
16:52:55Genre9mp3So it depends on the DAC and not on fw
16:53:18linuxstb_Yes, the Coldfire-based players are limited to 11.025KHz, 22.050KHz and 44.100KHz. The ipods can do a much wider range of samplerates up to 96KHz.
16:54:15linuxstb_In theory the Coldfire players can do 20-bit playback, but AFAIK, it would mean not using DMA, and it hasn't been implemented.
16:55:16Schuis there a list of features for rockbox anywhere?
16:55:21Genre9mp3Cool to know that with rockbox you can playback these files, downsampled at least
16:55:47Paul_The_NerdSchu: The "Why Choose Rockbox" link on the front page.
16:55:54linuxstb_Yes, but you would be better off by converting to 16-bit/44.1KHz on your PC using a higher quality resampler.
16:56:05Schuah, cheers
16:56:28Genre9mp3linuxstb_: ok, good to know
16:56:43linuxstb_Genre9mp3: Also, I'm not sure how many codecs support it. I know FLAC does (I tested it), and I would expect the WAV codec to as well.
16:57:15Genre9mp3linuxstb_: I think also vorbis supports that, but I'm not sure
16:57:20preglowcodecs support what? 24 bit output?
16:57:38linuxstb_24-bit/96KHz files.
16:57:39SchuAHA! Minesweeper plugin, I love rockbox now!
16:57:54preglownot much point in supporting 96khz files for lossy codecs
16:58:00preglowmost of our codecs can do 24 bit output
16:58:04Schushame I can't plug a mouse in or something! :P
16:58:04preglowalready do, as a matter of fact
16:58:34Genre9mp3preglow: Yes, you are right, 24bit lossy is pointless

16:59:29preglowGenre9mp3: 24 bit lossy isn't pointless, and as a matter of fact, most of our lossy codecs output at around 24 bit or even higher
16:59:36preglow96khz lossy is pointless
16:59:50preglowsince the encoder would toss away all frequencies above 20khz anyway, since we can't hear them
17:00
17:00:01Genre9mp3I was wondering though, if someone can detect differences between 16bit & 24bit or 44Khz/96Khz...
17:00:08telliott_Does TagCache handle large drives and collections yet?
17:00:32preglowGenre9mp3: there are people who claim the can
17:01:41merbananGenre9mp3: 16bit & 24bit should be easy to differ if you reach the high or low end of the dynamic range of 16bits
17:01:49preglowespecially the low
17:02:04Genre9mp3preglow: claim or do? (ABX testing)
17:02:12preglowGenre9mp3: most just claim, heh
17:02:39preglowsome very quiet passages of classical music probably do sound bad in 16 bit audio
17:02:47preglownot as bad if dithered, but anyway
17:03:20Paul_The_NerdJust wondering: I recently ended up with a free sound system, has a digital in and out, but they're COAX. Anyone know how likely there will be of a noticeable delay for a coax -> Optical, or Optical-> Coax digital conversion?
17:03:32*Genre9mp3 wonders what will be the next standard after Audio-CDs
17:03:41preglowPaul_The_Nerd: not likely at all
17:03:59linuxstb_Genre9mp3: Lossy downloads with DRM...
17:04:15Genre9mp3with what? ewwwwwwwwwwww
17:04:33preglowhahaha
17:04:38preglowthat'll mark the point at which i stop buying music
17:04:39Paul_The_NerdI mean, in most cases (music output from the DAP) there's no reason for a small delay of any sort to bother me, but the other use for a converter would be gaming, where sound sync is more noticeable.
17:04:56preglowPaul_The_Nerd: in that context any latency would be 100% neglibable
17:05:03Paul_The_NerdOkay
17:05:12preglowjust spelled correctly
17:05:18linuxstb_I like the dvd-audio standard - not so much for high-resolution audio, but its flexibility to use any samplerate from 44.1KHz up to 192KHz and the long playback time.
17:05:20Paul_The_NerdHahaha
17:05:22merbananPaul_The_Nerd: look up the latency of tp -> fiber converters

17:22:36maekaThat, I don't know. I've been told the reason for the skipping is less than idealy tweaked codecs.

17:27:49maekausual tricks being no replaygain, no eq, and no crossfade?
17:27:58linuxstb_Yes :)
17:27:58LloreanAnd no peakmeter in your WPS.
17:28:10linuxstb_Or at least, not everything.
17:28:32linuxstb_Or leaving the WPS during playback and leaving your ipod sitting in a menu.
17:29:39Lloreanlinuxstb_: You could also just remove all the %s'es from a WPS, and no peakmeters or progress bar.
17:29:58Genre9mp3linuxstb: So you'll end up with a WPM! :)

19:40:15MrShleeIt ran low on battery.. turned itself off and hasn't restarted
19:40:25MrShleeno spin.. no activity..

19:44:57Genre9mp3I suggest leave it for some period of time and then insert the charger to see if it makes it to charge
19:46:45Genre9mp3or better try to boot into rockbox and if it does insert immediately the charger
19:48:36MrShleeMaybe i'll get lucky
19:48:40MrShleeohh well
19:49:42Genre9mp3But if it's only a battery problem, your player is not bricked
19:50:05PaulJambtw, i think on the iriver devices it's normal if you get shocked when you touch the metal parts if the charger is inserted and you are well grunded yourself.
19:50:08MrShleeI don't know if it was low battery..
19:50:14MrShleeor if the thing just blew
19:50:44Genre9mp3How much battery life did you get before that happens?
19:51:18MrShleeno idea..
19:51:28MrShleeGuessing.. it was fairly low
19:52:17MrShleeI was in my car. driving around for a few hours
19:52:17Genre9mp3As I said leave it for the night and then try to boot rockbox...maybe it's just the battery

20:03:48Genre9mp3I suppose that BDM is not possible with the PortalPlayer chip, right?

20:04:31Paul_The_NerdWell, I've just been told it isn't.
20:06:02Genre9mp3And how hard it will be to make a bootloader without it?
20:06:58Paul_The_NerdWell, progress is being made in reverse engineering the firmware update file format. And it looks like the Sansa might be "safe" (similar to how iPods are) in which case it won't be as bad as it could be.

20:21:31Paul_The_NerdDo you think the Recovery mode is a safe haven in case something goes wrong?
20:21:38BagderI do
20:21:51Paul_The_NerdIt does seem likely.
20:22:03Genre9mp3What's this Recovery mode?
20:22:37Paul_The_NerdThe Sansas can be booted into a "Recovery Mode" which offers USB connectivity with access to 16mb of space. You can upload a bootloader rom and mi4 file and it'll automatically update to them when you unplug USB.
20:22:39sharpea mode in which you can recover it.
20:22:53Paul_The_NerdAlso if there's a sansa.fmt file it will reformat the disk, it seems.
20:23:24sharpeso i suppose then for the sansas, the bootloader has a limit of around 16mb?
20:24:17Paul_The_NerdDunno. That's just how much the "disk" you have access to with recovery mode is.
20:24:25sharpeI see.
20:24:47Paul_The_NerdI wonder if it's a ramdrive. Then it'd be safe even if the disk formatting is broken.
20:25:12sharpemaybe it's on a flash chip?
20:25:35Paul_The_NerdIt's possible that it's that as well.
20:27:09peturmaybe they reserved some space in the prog flash to create a small disk (have done that myself for a project already)
20:27:27peturbut 16mb is a bit big

20:41:29Genre9mp3That's right....Rockbox is the No.1 feature ;)
20:43:41Paul_The_NerdI will say the Sansa has the second least audible hiss of all my players.
20:44:00TeaSeaPaul_The_Nerd: Interesting.
20:44:16TeaSeajooc, what's the progress on rockbox support on the Sansa? I haven't looked into it yet.
20:44:25TeaSeaOr are you not doing that?
20:44:30TeaSeaAnd I totally missed the thing :D
20:44:32Genre9mp3Which player is the first on that?
20:44:32Paul_The_NerdAnd in fact, it's only really audible if there's no sound at all.
20:44:48sharpewooho for low decibel sounds
20:44:52sharpe+o
20:44:54Paul_The_NerdThe Archos JBR has less hiss than even the Sansa.
20:44:58Paul_The_NerdBut you can hear the HD spin up.
20:45:47Genre9mp3Where this hiss come from? Which part of the hw?
20:45:52RedBrevaspiorf: I have just added your theme to http://www.rockbox-themes.org along with the original ipod_Vision theme... Looks good ;-)
20:45:54Paul_The_NerdThen comes the iPod Nano in third, with a noticeable hiss that I hear if I turn my music below about -60 -55 or so. On the iRivers (h120 and iFP-799) I hear it below about -45 or so.
20:46:26sharpeon a flash based 256mb mp3 player i had (before it fell prey to the washing machine), i could hear when the lcd's backlight was on even with music playing...
20:46:46spiorfRedBreva, :)
20:47:58Paul_The_Nerdsharpe: You can hear the LED that lights up the scrollwheel on the Sansa.
20:48:20sharpehmm... fun.
20:48:36Paul_The_NerdThe volume also doesn't go low enough for my tastes.
20:49:12sharpei suppose it's a good thing when i can listen to my ipod at -57db...
20:49:31Genre9mp3Paul_The_Nerd: Someone on MR reported that he hadn't no hiss at all (with his H340) by using an external amp (Ray Samuels hornet) but of course I'm not mad enough to pay $350 just for that (and also have another box to carry with)
20:49:39Paul_The_NerdOn my Nano one night, I kept lowering it and lowering it, and suddenly realized I was at -70
20:50:00Genre9mp3I mean hadn't any hiss
20:50:22Paul_The_NerdGenre9mp3: Yeah, an external amp can help with that alot. Also, not having low impedance phones with a high SPL will apparently help alot too, I've heard. ;)
20:50:30sharpewhenever i lend my ipod for people to listen to, they always end up turning it to around, -10, someone had it at 6 once...

20:53:58Paul_The_Nerdspiorf: Yes, I know. And the Nano is 340.

22:52:23sharpeah.

22:52:35sharpejust a shot in the dark, fron the firmware? :)

22:54:49linuxstb_The firmware also includes expat - sadly that's under the MIT license...
22:55:10sharpewhat embedded systems were there in 1986?

22:55:27Bagderah

22:55:48merbananBagder: have you tried flashing a corrupt image to the player?
22:55:55Bagdernot yet
22:56:18BagderI was gonna try to just alter some text and flash that too see that this whole process works
22:56:33sharpeno! then the corrrupt image would make the player corrupt and evil!

22:58:06linuxstb_There are a few references to PP5022 and PP5020 - so maybe that means it's register compatible with those. Meaning the existing ipod code will work.
22:58:27Bagderyes, it does seem promising
22:58:45sharpewhy, why does all partitioning software seem to need to be run under dos...?
22:58:47linuxstb_The ATA driver for example should just work, as well as i2c and i2s.

23:40:42Paul_The_NerdNot that I know of.
23:40:46Paul_The_NerdBut at least they talked to Daniel at all.
23:41:06Paul_The_NerdAt this point I'd be happy with a "Shoo" from PortalPlayer to at least know somebody read it.
23:41:15preglowheh

23:42:51amiconn25°C in London, just 3 more than here...
23:43:15Genre9mp3maybe they don't actually willing to help in anyway...
23:43:35Paul_The_NerdIt's 30.5 C here, but at least it's cloudy.
23:43:38Genre9mp3Maybe all these was a part of their promotion or something? (just a thought)
23:43:45BagderI don't speak with the president of Sandisk
23:43:51Paul_The_NerdWell it's definitely all part of their promotion.
23:44:15Paul_The_NerdBut their promotion will look a lot better if we can actually support their player _well_

23:45:42amiconnPaul_The_Nerd: Surely a different time of day (soon midnight here)
23:46:17Genre9mp3What I want to say is, that maybe, all "they" were interested in was a Rockbox-rumor than an actual Rockbox-port
23:46:46peturit came from marketing, so probably it is
23:46:50linuxstb_But surely the negative PR of failing to help a Rockbox port will outweigh anything positive they've had so far...
23:46:52Paul_The_Nerdamiconn: That's true. It'll probably get lower than that tonight here, with the weather the way it is.
23:48:55Paul_The_NerdHonestly, I doubt word will *really* get around as to how much they did or didn't help us.
23:50:02Paul_The_NerdI suspect that once there's a Rockbox port available there will be a big blurb that they post about it on iDont.com.
23:50:44Paul_The_NerdOn a very unrelated note, I hate their "Media converter"
23:51:28preglowi think the news of them offering to support us will spread lots more than the news of them perhaps failing to do so after all
23:52:25Genre9mp3iDont.com is run by Sansa??? [innocent face] :)
23:52:43linuxstb_Paul_The_Nerd: What's the audio quality like? (am I right in thinking you bought an e200?)
23:52:47BagderGenre9mp3: yes
23:53:48Genre9mp3Bagder: hehe... I already knew that... I just pretended that I was surprised!
23:53:50Paul_The_Nerdlinuxstb_: I'm no audiophile by any means, but overall there's less background noise than with most of my other players, so I like it quite a bit for that. I don't really know what to look for in actual playback quality though. Nothing stands out to me at least.

23:56:57Paul_The_NerdThe original firmware's playback is pretty horrible. The "shuffle" is actually true random, so you sometimes get the same song twice in a row, and skipping to the next song takes *ages*.
23:57:06Paul_The_NerdWell by "true" I just mean, random
23:57:07amiconnugh
23:57:23linuxstb_Paul_The_Nerd: I was just curious because the Sansa's PP5024 has the DAC built in.
23:57:28Genre9mp3Paul_The_Nerd: Doesn't even have a "History" or something?
23:57:44Paul_The_Nerdlinuxstb_: Well, in my opinion it sounds better than the iPod Nano. Much less hiss.
23:58:17Paul_The_NerdGenre9mp3: Yeah, if I recall I couldn't go back to a previous song. Previous and Next both essentially do the same thing in shuffle, pick a random song.
23:58:20Bagderin my damaged ears it sounds as fine as my other players ;-)
23:58:28*amiconn remembers Paul_The_Nerd being surprised that the archos has much less hiss than ipod as well
23:58:46Paul_The_NerdNo, I was surprised that I couldn't hear *any* hiss on the Archos.
23:58:57Paul_The_NerdIt wasn't relative to the iPod, so much as relative to anything I own.
23:58:59amiconnIriver and ipod have quite noticeable hiss. For me they're a step back in sound quality
