#rockbox log for 2006-07-22

00:00:07randiit's irc. does work ever happen?
00:00:15Paul_The_NerdYou'd be surprised.
00:01:00Paul_The_NerdSome of these guys, notably the ones who aren't scorche or midkay, come in here to exchange ideas and talk about obscure bits of hardware in some of the devices that I am not at all familiar with.
00:01:17midkayhaha. excuse me.
00:01:32randisomeone replied to that ad with a myspace url and they said 'u' instead of 'you'. disqualification.
00:01:49midkaylook at you! chatting with someone in the middle of #rockbox. how dare you point ME out as a slacker.
00:01:59midkayget an IM window, you two.
00:02:00randito be fair, i only joined to harass him.
00:02:13randii googled him, found the url, and found the irc bits mentioned.
00:02:31midkay:o
00:02:40Paul_The_NerdI have to chat off-topic in here. That way people can yell at me for being hypocritical when I tell them not to.
00:02:57Paul_The_NerdI like leaving people at least one means of griping at me, since I always have about 50 reasons to gripe at them. Fair's fair.
00:03:09midkayyes, well... i win.
00:03:26Paul_The_NerdAnyway, *you* have a Rockbox Developer host mask.
00:03:31Paul_The_NerdI don't get fancy stuff like that.
00:03:49randigetting a vanity host isn't any superhero feat.
00:03:52midkaynot like you asked for it!
00:04:12Paul_The_NerdI know! A certain someone snuck in behind my back and finally added me to the credits.
00:04:33midkayhaha. finally indeed.
00:04:44midkaywe couldn't stand your not-asking-for-it any longer.
00:05:21Paul_The_NerdIf I recall, it was more of a subtly-hinting-that-you-shouldn't. But I suppose it doesn't hurt anything.
00:05:44midkayhaha.
00:05:44Paul_The_NerdGoogling my real name finally shows me rather than some silly famous Titanic expert.
00:05:51midkayhaha.
00:06:43midkaypaul louden-brown.
00:06:56Paul_The_NerdWell, minus the brown for me.
00:07:48midkaybut that's the Titanic tart.
00:08:56Paul_The_NerdIs hardeep doing tagcache stuff still or just Slasheri?
00:09:22Paul_The_NerdI want to pester someone about adding the ability to disallow caching of certain folders, now that we've got SID support.
00:09:50Paul_The_NerdAlso, randi: Do you have some other means of communication than stalking me here, and email?
00:10:45amiconnPaul_The_Nerd: There's a very simple method to not cache the sid dirs: disable dircache ;)
00:11:45randioh dear. you aren't that titanic expert?
00:11:48Paul_The_NerdWell, it's the simplest way to search for songs, say titles containing the word X, isn't it?
00:11:50randimy dreams are shattered.
00:11:55randihmm
00:11:59randii've got AIM and skype.
00:12:12Paul_The_NerdI don't yet have skype.
00:12:21randiskype is neato. i dig the voicemail.
00:12:29randii no longer have a cell phone, so it's a necessity.
00:12:49Paul_The_NerdAh. I just recently upgraded (or rather was forced to upgrade) my cellphone.

00:13:29Paul_The_Nerdamiconn: TagCache.
00:13:46amiconnBtw, for me the fastest method to find a song is to go into the dir where it's stored
00:14:24Paul_The_NerdBut what if I'm looking for say, every remix of Tetris music I have. Many folders because many artists, but every one has "Tetris" in the title.
00:14:54midkaySearch by Title: "Tetris"?
00:15:26amiconnBut why would you want to exclude some dirs then?
00:15:36amiconnSIDs are music files as well...
00:17:10Paul_The_NerdBecause there are too many SIDs to index at the moment, and I don't really have any interest in my cache being that big. I personally am okay with leaving them out of the cache.
00:18:16 Quit lodesi ("Parti")
00:18:19*amiconn wonders how big the cache will become with all those sids

00:23:42randiit's somewhere in tiny pieces in atlanta. not a nice person.
00:23:56randiI plan on picking up either a blackberry or the new sidekick 3.
00:24:00scorcherandi: Skype is even neato-er now that they have that thing about free calls to anywhere in the US or Canada 'till the end of the year.

00:26:30Paul_The_Nerdrandi: I recently ended up with a Cingular 2125 and am more impressed than I thought I'd be.
00:26:39Paul_The_NerdBeing as I was previously rather minimalist in my cellphone choices.
00:27:28randii *hate* cingular.
00:27:33randitheir unlimited data plan is $80/month
00:27:36randithat's just absurd.
00:27:39Paul_The_Nerd$20/month
00:27:44randieh?
00:27:47randiunlimited GPRS?
00:27:50Paul_The_NerdAt least, that's what I'm paying for EDGE
00:27:50randinot in atl.
00:27:52Paul_The_NerdUnlimited.
00:27:58randiinteresting.
00:28:04randiso they are finally offering it at competitive rates out here.
00:28:06Paul_The_NerdI mean, my total bill is about $70 with everything else.
00:28:28Paul_The_NerdBut the unlimited data service is $20, and since the cellphone doubles as a USB modem, it's quite convenient.
00:28:29randisince the sidekick 3 has bluetooth, i'm probably going to end up going with it. i love tmobile, even if they are asshats when it comes to equipment replacement.
00:29:07Paul_The_NerdI can't stand phones that open, slide, or otherwise have hinge-like bits.
00:29:11Paul_The_NerdI have very bad luck with hinges.
00:31:53sharpemy phone's finally starting to die off.
00:31:58Paul_The_NerdThough in all honesty the last phone I had with one was an ancient StarTAC (I think that was it) and I just wore it out.

01:09:49Paul_The_NerdY'know what irritates me? The fact that that turns some girls off letting a guy pay for meals. I've met a new friend, female, gone to eat dinner and chat, offered to pay because I could afford to and I'm a nice guy, and they wouldn't let me, and later I would find out they were afraid that I'd feel they were obligated or something because I'd paid.
01:10:49earHertzwell, they do feel obligated. You're in tech, right?
01:11:03Paul_The_NerdWhat does that have to do with it?
01:11:15earHertzyou make more $ than other people your age, probbaly
01:11:28earHertzwhat to you is not much money id much to them
01:12:35Paul_The_NerdActually, at the time they were probably making more than me.
01:12:49Paul_The_NerdIt wasn't that it wasn't much money, just simply that I could afford it, and like to do nice things like that.
01:13:16earHertzyeah, see, you were being nice. chicks don't dig nice
01:14:02markunmy girlfriend doesn't even want me to pay for her in a restaurant
01:14:15earHertzNow if you'd smile at her and said, "hey thanks for payinf" and then she'dwas all "what do you mean I'm paying" and then you said "just kidding, I'll take care of it" she'd think you were a cool bad boy

01:27:09Paul_The_NerdThen yeah, it should be no more dangerous than that update was.
01:27:11blackvdso no risk to installing it
01:27:18blackvdalright
01:28:17blackvdalso I'm running Linux and heard some people talking about problems compiling the boot loader?
01:28:40Paul_The_NerdYou shouldn't compile your own bootloader.
01:28:50Paul_The_NerdThere should be a binary of the bootloader itself on the IriverBoot wiki page.
01:29:00blackvdok so just d/l the bootloader and firmware
01:29:02Paul_The_NerdYou will need to compile the program to merge your bootloader, or run the fwpatcher program in WINE
01:29:22blackvdah thats what they were talking about
01:29:24PaulJami think the easiest way would be to use the fwpatcher.exe with wine

03:46:06manoshey, i want to buy a new car stereo and i've heard some good words about alpine's ipod full speed. Does anyone knows if this is gonna work woth with rockbox?
03:46:41earHertzmanos: i9f it connects to the headphone jacks yes, itf it connects to tteh usb, no
03:47:03manosgot it
03:47:33manosisn't the sound from the jack going to be a little bit crappier than the usb?
03:47:46earHertzmanos: in my experience it is better
03:47:51manosreally?
03:47:58earHertzI got a $50 itrip
03:48:11manosdoing a good job?
03:48:19earHertzbut the sound tended to incoude electrical "noise" from the ipod
03:48:29earHertznoisee that incresed when teh hdd spun
03:48:36manos?
03:48:40manoswell
03:48:56scorcheI have heard that the Monster transmitters are very good. Haven't tried them myself though.
03:48:58manosif i use my headphones, what's the difference when u use speakers?

03:50:54earHertzUrbanNightmare: good
03:51:53Paul_The_Nerdmanos: Get a car stereo with a line input. Ignore the idea of using to actually *control* the iPod, as that's silly and locks you in. Then, you can plug any MP3 player's headphone OR line out to the car stereo.
03:52:05earHertzPaul_The_Nerd: is right
03:52:32UrbanNightmareearHertz: I first thought I would try patching in a different order. Sometime thats the best fix.
03:52:41earHertzUrbanNightmare: indeed
03:52:50manosthnx guys

03:57:43manosthe truth is though, that i'm not going to achieve cd quality using my ipod connected to my stereo right?
04:00
04:00:32manosoi
04:00:53earHertzwell, mp3s are not "cd quality"
04:01:17Paul_The_NerdWell, it also depends on how you define CD quality
04:01:23earHertzif you want cd quality, record flac and use a device with digital out
04:01:34Paul_The_NerdTechnically lossless files are CD quality, but it may or may not sound as good as a CD if you have bad cabling.
04:02:43earHertztechnically, there's acabling fo your cd to your amp to your speakers too. if you wan tto be an audiophile, go to hydrogen audio and talk about low-impednece gold cabling
04:03:33earHertzspend $20,00 on your home hi-fi system, or spenf $1000 on season tickerts to the opera, or just hire a strung quarteet to live in your rec room
04:03:43earHertz$20,000
04:03:50manos:)
04:03:55Paul_The_NerdI think season tickits to the Houston Symphony are a lot less than even $1000

04:06:35earHertzdude, your car is not silent eniough, nor are the echo-characteristics of the spce inside it, conducibe to "perfect" sound
04:07:03manosi'm just serious about my sound, being a musician
04:07:16Paul_The_NerdYeah, in a car, any format someone claims is "transparent" in secluded listening will probably be more than suitable for use.

04:07:26S0apdude, I can tell the difference between a FM modulator in the headphone jack and a line-out to line-in connection on my '85 Ranger w/all metal interior.

04:11:10manoshm

05:55:27Paul_The_NerdThere's a line where it's just irritating.
05:55:34webguest98there was another sky level in special world where you had to like fall off the screen to beat it i think
05:55:37Paul_The_NerdBasically the point where luck factors into your completion.

05:58:00Paul_The_NerdWasn't that done using an emulator?
05:58:08ShyKyeah it was
05:58:15webguest98oh
05:58:20scorcheShyK: It is not.
05:58:25Paul_The_NerdIf I recall I read it was played at half speed.
05:58:32ShyKscorche: :o
05:58:43Paul_The_Nerd"Tool assisted"
05:58:47scorcheShyK: There are a few subtle changes.
05:59:15ShyKcosmetic?
05:59:28scorcheShyK: From Wikipedia: Neither of these rereleased versions of the game are absolutely true to the original. Aside from the save feature and improved graphics, extra power-ups and 1-ups were peppered throughout the levels, and hidden power-ups were placed in plain sight. Red Piranha Plants, which would originally come out even if Mario or Luigi were next to or on the edge of the pipe, would not emerge if the player was standing on th
05:59:28scorchee center of the pipe.
05:59:53webguest98someone did supermario lost levels in like 8 minutes
06:00
06:00:19ShyKscorche: wow.. weird, had no idea.
06:00:50scorcheShyK: There are other changes specific to the Allstars incarnation. See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Super_Mario_Brothers_2:_The_Lost_Levels
06:01:35ShyKspeaking of super mario, this is one of the most awesome tools ever made :) (some of you must know it) http://fusoya.panicus.org/lm/index.html
06:02:20ShyKnever got around to creating something truly good with it though. the super mario level designers are complete geniuses

07:30:40scorche`Errrr.

07:30:53gursikhSo, is there an admin around, or must I e-mail someone somewhere about it?
07:31:10midkaydoesn't appear to be..
07:31:16Paul_The_NerdThere are only three wiki admins
07:31:22midkayBagder: wake up!
07:31:34scorche`Bagder is on vacation.
07:31:43Paul_The_NerdBagder, Zagor, and LinusN. None of them are actually here right now
07:31:51scorche`And neither Zagor, nor LinusN are here.
07:32:01scorche`Paul_The_Nerd: Bah you.
07:32:18scorche`I would have had that, were I not typing "correctly".
07:32:23gursikhok, which of them is the best choice to e-mail, and where may I find his/her address?
07:32:52gursikhwow, one hour leases on page edits?
07:33:04scorche`gursikh: We can always mention it to them when we see them come on.
07:33:25Paul_The_NerdBah, seeking an email for Linus, I went here: http://linus.haxx.se/
07:33:26midkayscorche`: maybe it's a good time to stop then.
07:33:27Paul_The_NerdIt was somewhat lacking
07:33:44midkaywe could always just kinda wait til one's on irc..
07:33:51gursikhok, because I had mentioned it here earlier in the day, and i'm sure the people here at that time already forgotten,
07:33:57scorche`midkay: I already said that. >_>
07:33:59Paul_The_Nerdgursikh: http://www.rockbox.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/LinusNielsenFeltzing if you must email him.
07:34:16midkayscorche`: my bad. -=^_^=;;
07:34:22scorche`...
07:34:50midkay.. imitating you with ugly smilies.
07:36:01sharpemidkay: no, no, you're just being modest with the ugly smilies.
07:36:15midkayhuh?
07:36:44sharpenevermind.
07:36:46midkayit's generally accepted that jokes ought to make sense for them to be funny.. if that was even a joke.. i can't tell.
07:36:56scorche`It made sense to me.
07:37:06midkaybeing modest with ugly smilies?
07:37:23midkayenlighten me.

07:38:14sharpehe just left.
07:38:14midkayhe *just* left..
07:38:17gursikhah
07:38:26midkayscorche`: i called the smilies ugly.. not myself.
07:38:31midkayso that doesn't make any sense at all.
07:38:32gursikhexciting, he was editing a page I would like to edit....
07:39:11sharpechips-ahoy, in the new snack and seal package.
07:39:17scorche`midkay: It was a sharpei joke - it isn't supposed to make complete sense.
07:39:34midkaybut you said that you understood it.
07:39:58sharpemidkay: he's right on my level of intellect.
07:40:06sharpeand humor, apparently.
07:40:13scorche`Notice how i said _complete_ sense.
07:40:29scorche`I was barely able to piece it together.

07:47:57gursikh_Yes, exactly- Because I was NOT usuing that as the generally regarded english language phrase refering to roughly: "all-right"
07:48:58sharpeof course, because wiki editing always relates to judaism and food practices. :)
07:49:52gursikh_Sorry, I'm new to this whole wiki thing (though I do host the rockipedia development wiki), you will have to bear with me (or not) as I learn.
07:50:11sharpei'm not much of a wiki person.
07:51:34midkaygursikh: yes, that's a nice thing to do; also know that whatever you do is logged and all previous revisions are kept so it can be very easily undone (partially or fully) in case something wanted got removed (which is unlikely).
07:52:05gursikh_Excellent. I'm just going to be doing clean-up mostly
07:52:28midkaygood to hear, shouldn't be any problems..
07:53:05sharpemidkay: i finally got around to putting up the source for the c64 emulator and side port...
07:53:11gursikh_Are external links and internal links treated the same here? as I see above the "external" section all but 2 of the links are internal, with those 2 having no indication to the user that they are leaving the wiki
07:53:33midkaysharpe: congrats.
07:53:52sharpemidkay: yes. sharpe.strangled.net/">http://sharpe.strangled.net/ should work.
07:54:19midkaygursikh: so what's your question? are they created the same, or is it alright to have external and internal ones mixed in the same section?
07:54:24midkayboth are 'yes', afaik.
07:54:45gursikh_part two of you question is the answer, and Ok, thanks.

07:59:49gursikh_for consitancy, would i get toasted for changing all the "Iriver" "iRiver" and "IRiver" to "iriver"
08:00
08:00:07sharpewe pride ourselves on capitalization
08:00:17gursikh_as per: http://www.rockbox.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/IriverFAQ#iRiver_or_iriver
08:00:40gursikh_as many of the category names and page titles as capatilzed incorrectly
08:02:01gursikh_and, would changing the titles,etc. break anything (links)
08:02:10amiconnyes
08:02:28scorchegursikh_: In many wikis (not sure about Twiki), the first letter of the title must be capital.
08:02:34amiconnNot internal links (afaik twiki auto-adapts them), but external ones
08:02:59gursikh_Ic, so I will leave that for later.
08:03:20 Quit gursikh (Read error: 110 (Connection timed out))
08:04:18gursikh_Do you guys not think we should use an arbritrary name for the device since we now have iriver and ipod ports? In many places it says archos, when the page is talking globally
08:04:45gursikh_or do they not count as there is no "release" for those ports?
08:04:55scorcheExample in context?
08:05:21sharpei'd say many wiki pages which haven't been edited in years.
08:05:34scorcheIndeed.
08:05:45scorcheBut, it can be situational...
08:05:52sharpeof course.
08:06:08gursikh_yeah many of these pages are old
08:06:24gursikh_mostly minor edits
08:06:51gursikh_example: http://www.rockbox.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/LiIonBatteryFAQ add iriver's to this as it has liion battery.
08:08:13amiconnAlmost. Irivers and iPods have LiPo batteries
08:08:31gursikh_and thats why I only do cleanup
08:08:34amiconnBut most of the questions in there are archos fm/v2 specific anyway
08:08:38scorcheI would hold off on that page, as changing it would have to add a lot more information. Perhaps we can pass on that to someone such as paul...or...uh.... amiconn ;)
08:09:15gursikh_or updating the blindfaq for iriver,ipod,iaudio
08:09:16sharpenever offset any work to sharpe, :\
08:09:20gursikh_http://www.rockbox.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/BlindFAQ
08:09:28scorchesharpe: Of course not!
08:09:37Jungti1234hello
08:10:32gursikh_is there a plaintext 2.5 manual?
08:10:41scorchegursikh_: I would keep to minor edits (while keeping a list of these types), unless you are very familiar with that topic.
08:10:52gursikh_yeah
08:11:42scorcheamiconn: Perhaps, get some of the main manual people working on these if they are interested?
08:11:50gursikh_i'd like to update a link to the plaintext 2.4 manual to the 2.5 manual, But I dont see plaintext version of 2.5 manual?
08:12:09scorchegursikh_: that is not worth updating...
08:12:21gursikh_for the blind?
08:13:29scorcheoh...on that page
08:14:17scorcheuse WikiManual to link if need be for now
08:14:34gursikh_I think What I will do is this: Since I dont know anything. I will create a document outlining all the things I see that need to be updated, but dont/cant/wont do. Then more informed people can have at it. I see that such a thing kind of exists for the manual (manualtodo) so maybe I will create WikiUPdateTodo ?
08:15:05scorchei dont see why not
08:15:19*scorche has run out of patience for typing "correctly" =(
08:15:33gursikh_so default back to incorrectly ?
08:15:37gursikh_how bad is it?
08:15:43scorchejust this
08:16:00scorcheno capitalization (sometimes), slightly less punctuation
08:16:07scorchenothing unreadable
08:16:43gursikh_I say this isn't english class. Be confortable, rockbox is supposed to be fun (apparently) anyways :0D
08:17:12scorcheyes, but it was an attempt (successful i might add) to annoy midkay
08:17:35gursikh_annoy by being proper?

08:40:15Slasheriok, sounds good
08:40:51amiconn...provided that doesn't break some tagcache operations (but iiuc it shouldn't, since ramcache is optional anyway)
08:41:35sharpeamiconn: what is the limit of the firmware size for the archoses?
08:41:40amiconnI'll check how much ram it actually takes
08:41:41Slasheriyep, it shouldn't break anything (it's already enable by #ifdef HAVE_TC_RAMCACHE)
08:42:51amiconnsharpe: There are various limits.
08:43:09amiconn(1) for firmware loaded from disk: max. 200KB for player/studio and recorder v1, 400KB for the others (recorder fm/v2 and Ondios)
08:43:46amiconnThis is relaxed a bit in that if the firmware exceeds this limit (currently the case for recorder v1), we build a self-decompressing version
08:44:03sharpeah...
08:44:15amiconn(2) for flashing rockbox: max. 232KB for player/studio, 228KB for all others
08:45:16amiconnIf the uncompressed size exceeds this limit, flash firmware can be compressed too, but that obviously forbids running _directly_ from flash rom
08:45:42sharpealright, i believe i get it now.
08:45:52amiconnWe're now a little below 226KB for fmrecorder...
08:46:08sharpeah, i see the concern then.

09:20:46earHertzSlasheri: does ramcache actually work on ipods?
09:21:05SlasheriearHertz: hmm, it should. Do you have problems with it?
09:21:16earHertzwell, perhaps
09:21:30Slasheribut i don't have ipod to test with :/
09:22:05earHertzif I go to Info|view tagcache info, it tells ne Ramcache:no
09:22:21Slasherihowever, on flash players there is no need to enable either dircache or tagcache ramcache
09:22:48Slasherihmm, do you have selected "load tagcache to ram: yes" and rebooted?
09:22:55earHertz\indeed, I have
09:22:59Slasheriinteresting..
09:23:19Slasheriand tagcache works but it just loads entries from disk?
09:23:28earHertzalso, the disk is accessed when I page through long tagcach elists
09:23:47earHertzwell, i'm not sure what the behavior is SUPOSED to be
09:23:52Slasheriweird.. could you access the logf debug console?
09:24:01earHertzSlasheri: I could
09:24:03Slasheriit could be useful if you could provide the logf dump

09:34:07Slasheriplease do ;)
09:34:22earHertzah, rebboting now!
09:35:27earHertzSlasheri: tagcacjhe uses the same struct gui_list for all its liosts; I'm assumeing you must record the structs data somewhere else, because when I go back to a prior list, tagcache remmebers my place in teh lsit
09:35:31amiconnRetailos inhibits diskmode when battery is really low, and just charges instead
09:35:39amiconn(with the big battery icon displayed)
09:35:55earHertzah
09:37:39earHertzSlasheri: why not use different gui_list instances?
09:38:15SlasheriearHertz: ah, that code is based on the old tagdb browser
09:38:32Slasherithe current level is stored in the tree context

09:39:18amiconnearHertz: Does the filebrowser behave different?
09:39:32earHertzamiconn: I do not know; it's a good qurestion
09:40:13earHertzthis list re-use makes one of my patcghes have to do extra work

11:36:39JdGordoni want to automate the patching process.. does anyone know how to run patch with a script so it fails if the patch is bad instead of it asking for a fix?
11:37:18JdGordonTnadeN: ? to copy music to the ipod use explorer, it should come up as a usb hard disk, to listen use whatever u want..
11:37:28jhMikeSsafetydan: true...I've done it for test ones, but it slows it down and you have to edit files with lots of stuff that has nothing to do with your own plugin
11:37:41JdGordonno u dont...

12:55:44blackvdquestion
12:55:51Slasheribluebrother: hi
12:55:56orthogonalanswer
12:56:03linuxstbbluebrother: No - all of Rockbox assumes 1 file = 1 track. So it's not a trivial thing to change. But hopefully someone will take up the challenge - it would mean cue-file and mp4 chapters support could happen as well.
12:56:04blackvdmy videos dont show up in rockbox?
12:56:18orthogonalblackvd: rb does not play videos
12:56:20bluebrotherI think it would be better to warn before starting an "initialize now" on tagcache, as it can eat up lots of battery.
12:56:27blackvdwhaaaaaaaaaaaaa?
12:56:30orthogonalhowever, videos in the filesystem will show up as files
12:56:37blackvdhm mine dont
12:56:47Slasheribluebrother: hmm, you can abort that by shutting down the player
12:56:50blackvdthis is crazy talk
12:56:56blackvdno video?
12:56:57Slasheribut warning might be good, because it will erase all tagcache files
12:57:02orthogonallinuxstb: I'll be glad to do that −− as soon as someione offers a bounty
12:57:09blackvdthey've gone mad
12:57:12bluebrotherlinuxstb, I'm aware this would need major changes, but the way it's handled now is ... strange
12:58:12bluebrotherSlasheri, sure, but what if I don't want to shutdown the player (or am not aware of that)? Also, IIRC the "initialize now" will remove your old tagcache files, so it should be warned about that (especially if tagcache was already initialized)
12:58:40blackvdoh hey whats with the jblackglass theme does it work with the H320?
12:59:04Slasheribluebrother: yes, true. Warning sounds good, especially because all runtimedb data will be erased when erasing the files
12:59:10Slasheriunless you export the data first manually
12:59:26bluebrotherjust happend to me unintentionally ...

13:00:03bluebrotherfor now it's not that important but its kinda nasty. And usual "users" will most probably start to whine about it.

13:07:01bluebrotherI had the sid collection on my player once, and tagcache ran like hours
13:07:03Slasheriyep, true. but that will be a problem with dircache too..
13:07:11Slasheriif you have downloaded HVSC on your player
13:07:26Slasheriit can't index that many files
13:07:31BockBilbocan someone tell me if the album cover patch supports , for instance, bmp files of 100x90 files?
13:07:36orthogonaltheytagcache is customizable, right? I can change All artsist to actually exclisude some artists?
13:07:42bluebrotherit can't? Ok, maybe that was the cause.
13:07:57BockBilboim asking this cause i want to know if its arbitrary to have square album covers
13:08:17Slasheriorthogonal: excluding ("not" operation) is not yet possible but will be in future
13:08:40freqmodi think sid files are indexed (in tagcache) if metadata is parsed ( in metadata.c )
13:08:41orthogonalI do want to exclude podcasts from everything
13:08:42k8toSlasheri: are you willing to briefly outline the limitation on the file indexing counts, ie. the cause?
13:09:01k8to(just curiosity)
13:09:04Slasherik8to: it's purely a memory limit
13:09:06*orthogonal feels bad for Slasheri
13:09:29k8toSlasheri: some per file structure exists in memory, and the player or overall table is exhausted?
13:09:56bluebrotherSlasheri, have you thought about adding the possible tagnavi.config tags to the TagCache wiki page? Would make it way easier to add them to the manual (once we manage to start describing the tagnavi.config)
13:10:30Slasherik8to: dircache allocates memory only as much as is necessary (no fixed amount per file), but probably even 10 MB isn't enough to index the whole HVSC
13:10:43Slasherihmm, maybe i will try and find out how much it really takes memory..
13:11:16Slasheribluebrother: yes, sure. but that syntax is not yet ready :)

13:42:36DoubleThink2Heya, is doom, rockboy and the video player and all that stuff ever going to be supported on greyscale ipods?
13:42:51mordovlast commetn :) it has been blinking stady for several minutes now so I guess it will be working when it stops :) thanks for teh help

13:43:20dumbkidill rebuild it after make clean
13:43:31DoubleThink2doesn't rockbox play videos?
13:43:40freqmodwhen i build rocbox with simulator logf and profiling i get this linking error http://pastebin.ca/95869
13:44:22orthogonalI suspect profiling is not supported on the sim

13:45:10orthogonalfreqmod: ah, profiling is not supported on ipod
13:45:35dumbkidis there a possibility to copy/paste lines from/to cygwin?
13:45:37orthogonalI can give you teh files you need to make profiling compile, but so far the output cannot be paarsed
13:46:05orthogonalif you need to know the caller of a function, I can give you a kludge that wil tell you that
13:46:27orthogonaldumbkid: are you suing teh default shell for cygwin?
13:46:40freqmodis there any other platform that support sw codecs and profiling with the simulator
13:46:59orthogonalfreqmod: profiling in the sim is pretty much useless
13:47:20 Quit Mmmm ("Byeee")
13:47:20dumbkid@ortho i think so.. just started it from my desktop
13:47:32dumbkid(what does profiling do?)
13:47:47orthogonaldumbkid: hold down teh left mouse and select text to copy iit. it is copied when you release the left mouse
13:47:52orthogonalto paste, use the right mouse
13:48:15orthogonaldumbkid: profiling tells you teh caller, callee, and time taken by teh callee
13:48:17freqmod(i hope) it tells me which functions/lines that uses most cpu time
13:48:34orthogonalfreqmod: that will depend on teh cpu on which it runs
13:49:19dumbkidbut you could try to get the tick and post it before and after calling some functions and then post it using logf
13:49:33orthogonaldumbkid: is cortrect
13:50:13orthogonalbut don't do taht onm a sim build, it's meningless
13:50:23dumbkidright mouse dont work for me
13:50:30dumbkidit doesnt happen anything
13:50:37orthogonaltry middle mouse
13:50:44freqmodok, but i don't know which functions that i would check, i just wanted a place to start to try optimizing (even if I don't know how to optimize)
13:50:54orthogonaldumbkid: what is your native language?
13:51:07dumbkidgerman
13:51:24orthogonalfreqmod: as Andrew Koenig wrote "Premature optimization is the root of all evil"
13:51:30orthogonalor wa s tat Knuth?
13:51:57orthogonalhowever, I can tell you a good place to optimize. Unroll loops.
13:52:06freqmodyes, but I am bored with speex only working up to 16kHz... so there is a need...
13:52:42orthogonalfreqmod: what device do you own?
13:52:48freqmodiPod Video
13:53:26orthogonalok, test timing on teh device, not the sim'use logf to get USEC before and after teh call, and take teh differnce
13:53:31dumbkidin my cygwin it looks like my mouse wouldnt work, no clicks, no select...
13:53:39orthogonalat all?
13:53:45markunfreqmod: is it too slow for ultra-wideband mode?
13:53:58orthogonaldumbkid: then run rxvt
13:54:03dumbkidhow?
13:54:11orthogonaltype rxvt at teh prompt
13:54:49freqmodnot the ultra wideband mode code but to process enough samples... (it works at 50% pitch)

14:15:39orthogonalwhat do you mean by developer point
14:16:19dumbkid_when using the configure script, 1st i select the platform, then i have to choose beetween normal sim dev ...
14:16:27dumbkid_thats the dev i mean
14:16:48dumbkid_and in the submenu i can select the debug options (for examble logf, sim)
14:16:53orthogonaldev just allows you to select logf or debug or sim
14:17:21dumbkid_but sim i can also select the "menu" before

14:47:22dumbkid_is it possible that the error is due to a misstake in the tagcache.c (i changed it)
14:48:29Landus: (
14:48:46k8towithout knowing much of anything about rockbox, i would move that .o and try building again
14:48:48LandusI just woke up and someone was logged on to my VNC server.
14:48:59k8toLandus: whoops
14:49:10LandusAs far as I can tell, nothing serious was done.
14:49:29LandusSee, I woke up, saw My Computer and the Windows calculator open.
14:49:31LandusI closed then.
14:49:37LandusHalf a minute later, they opened back up.
14:49:57LandusIt hit me that the only way that could be happening was someone on the VNC server.
14:50:00k8toperhaps you should set some kind of passwording on it? or firewall to restrict access or both
14:50:09LandusThere is.
14:50:24LandusTwenty character password.
14:50:27LandusLetter's and numbers.
14:50:31LandusLetters, rather.
14:50:44k8toare you sure that this password is always required and that there is not another mode?
14:51:09LandusYes.
14:51:26LandusThe only two was of accessing it are using a viewer or going to my computers IP address.
14:51:28dumbkid_exploit?
14:51:31LandusThe latter gets a java viewer.
14:51:46LandusDoubt it.
14:51:47LandusRealVNC.
14:51:51k8togiven your certainty in the face of uncertainty i can advise you to become less certain
14:51:56dumbkid_i own it too xD
14:52:01dumbkid_but its not running
14:52:12k8toalso: consider restricting the addresses which may connect
14:52:16LandusI can't.
14:52:17k8toor running it only on demand
14:52:28dumbkid_maybe your password is bad chosen / easy to crack
14:52:29LandusBecause I'll connect from so many different ones.
14:52:33dumbkid_what is your password ?
14:52:34LandusIt isn't.
14:52:36LandusNot telling.
14:52:36*dumbkid_ ;)
14:52:44linuxstbdumbkid_: Your error looks like you've previously tried to build a different version of Rockbox in the same directory. Try a "make clean" followed by "make".
14:52:52k8toLandus: so ssh in and add access from the IP address you are using
14:53:04LandusI don't have an SSH server running.
14:53:05Landus: (
14:53:09LandusIs there one on Freshmeat?
14:53:21k8toi am certain that you can run an ssh server on windows
14:53:30LandusYou can. I've done it before.
14:53:40LandusIt just like running in DOS.
14:53:41linuxstbAt the very least, you can run openssh in Cygwin.
14:53:58LandusIt'd be buggy as hell.
14:54:19k8totake charge of your own security or suffer the consequences
14:54:23dumbkid_made a make clean
14:54:28LandusAnd being able to access the folder with the IP list is wouldn't be possible without a crapload of changes.
14:54:29LandusI did.
14:54:51dumbkid_and a configure -> devel -> l(ogf) and s(imulator)
14:54:54k8toyes you have suffered the consequences
14:55:02dumbkid_lets see it itll work

14:56:23LandusThe server icon in the taskbar inverts the color if someone is connected.
14:56:34k8tothat's foolproof!

14:58:01LandusNo ones not really asking for help at the moment either.

14:58:39k8toobo: is this the age-old lousy crypt algorithm problem?
14:58:49LandusWhich is 20 characters.
14:58:56LandusAnd the eight charater bug doesn't work.

15:01:00k8toyeah you really have no guarantee your machine isn't owned at this point
15:01:08k8tobut hopefully it isn't!
15:01:09LandusThere is.
15:01:59k8tothe only way you can detect a machine ownage in a guaranteed way is to extensively analyze the traffic from outside the machine
15:02:08k8tobut even then, the ownage might be waiting to activate

15:05:50LandusNothing wasy happwning with My Computer.
15:05:55k8todionoea: you analyse the system externally
15:06:00k8towhoah, mistab
15:06:14k8todumbkid_: if you don't analyze it externally you can't guarantee any intrusion is removed
15:06:24k8todumbkid_: that's factual, not paranoid
15:06:46dumbkid_k8to, it would be reasonable if he had critical data on his pc,
15:06:46dumbkid_and a hacker would try to attempt
15:06:55DoubleThink2ahmm.... how does the ipod partition with the firmware work.... is it mountable? are there files on it or does it work somehow else?
15:06:56k8toyou cannot analyaze a compromised system using the compromised system and be able to trust the results
15:07:04LandusFirst, the term hacker is incorrect.
15:07:04k8tothat is all
15:07:17LandusSecond, the only critical data would by system files.
15:07:20dumbkid_but in most cases attacks (on private pcs) come from scriptk., (i think)
15:07:20k8tomost likely, his intruder didn't do anything

15:07:22k8tobut
15:07:22dumbkid_sry
15:07:25k8towhatever
15:07:26LandusI've checked. Nothing has been changed.
15:07:39k8toso they were not terribly naughty
15:07:42k8toor really good
15:07:43dumbkid_how did u check?
15:08:05LandusFirst, nothing in the log noted any file changes.
15:08:18LandusBut, it could be modified.
15:08:29LandusI had all the system files and DLL's sorted by date.
15:08:30dumbkid_i heard about a hacker who replaces the windows distribution by a linux with root controll and then fakes the windows system ;)
15:08:39dumbkid_date is fakeable ;)
15:08:49k8toyeah everything can be faked but
15:08:49LandusOnly the ones that are changed on a daily basis were modified today.
15:08:53k8tomost likely nothing happened
15:08:59LandusNo one is going to fake every bloody DLL.
15:09:08LandusIt'd be pointless.
15:09:09dumbkid_^^
15:09:10k8tothey can restore the dates
15:09:17k8toand hide the added files
15:09:18k8toetc
15:09:23k8toit's not rocket science!
15:09:29LandusI mean, if it was the NSA doing this, yeah, sure, they'd be able to break the encryption.
15:09:30k8to(that's when you blast things into space)
15:09:46k8tothere is no encryption

15:12:10DoubleThink2any way to see what's on it in a comprehendable format?
15:12:16k8tois it not really a filesystem at all, or a special filesystem?
15:12:36linuxstbThere's nothing to see - it just contains a short header followed by a firmware image (or multiple images)
15:12:58linuxstbSome documentation about it is here: http://ipodlinux.org/Firmware
15:13:15DoubleThink2yeah I was on that page
15:13:18DoubleThink2which got me wondering
15:13:44linuxstbOr if you can read C, look at tools/scramble.c in the Rockbox source - I've just added basic support to create an ipod firmware image to that tool.

15:22:19*linuxstb is now booting Rockbox directly from the firmware partition on his 5g ipod.
15:22:32obonice!
15:22:53linuxstbMakes upgrading a pain though...
15:22:58XavierGrI forgot to add the bidir option in the bit_entry last time, that's why it wouldn't store the settings
15:23:04obowhat's the boot time like?
15:23:15XavierGrlinuxstb: Thanks for noticing it
15:24:01 Quit damaki_ (Read error: 110 (Connection timed out))
15:24:25XavierGrlinuxstb: new patch sent.
15:25:01linuxstbobo: From off, it's still about 4 seconds to the file browser. But that's about as fast as we can get without flashing our own bootloader.
15:25:59linuxstbAnd for some reason, the backlight doesn't get turned on when Rockbox starts.. So you need to wait for the timeout, and then it will come back.
15:26:37linuxstbThe bootloader normally turns the backlight on, so no-one has noticed that bug.
15:27:57linuxstbXavierGr: Thanks - received. I'll look at it this afternoon.

15:41:53theprodukkt whats the best way to debug if my source dont work as i want?
15:42:36linuxstbDepends what you're writing...
15:42:54theprodukkt changes in the tagcache.c
15:43:09rasherlogf()
15:43:12linuxstbThen I would use the sim with DEBUGF
15:43:44rasherdon't listen to me
15:43:50theprodukkt is there a difference between debugf and logf?
15:44:06rasherI think logf acts like DEBUGF in the sim or something like that?
15:44:28linuxstbIn the sim, DEBUGF writes to the console. I'm not sure about logf's behaviour in the sim...
15:44:59theprodukkt logf writes to the remote window
15:45:10theprodukkt and i can check it under the info point too
15:45:13theprodukkt menu
15:45:58JdGordoncommit my logf patch and then you wont have any problems :D
15:46:09theprodukkt i dont have any problem
15:46:24theprodukkt my only problem is i have to rebuild my changes which takes about 1 min
15:47:08oboccache to the rescue
15:47:12linuxstbXavierGr: Committed.
15:47:22theprodukkt and i again need help with handling of string,
15:47:22theprodukkti need a if instruction which is true when i a string ("abcdefg") contains a specific char ("e")
15:48:08rashercan't you just write that function?
15:48:23DoubleThink2Hey I got the arm-elf stuff.... which switches would I use to disassemble the firmware?
15:48:40theprodukkt im not that experienced, and maybe there are already (faster then ownwritten) solutions

16:45:49dumbkiddo u know a function with deletes the spaces (" ") at beginning and end from a string?
16:46:01JdGordonshouldnt the menu system be changed from returning bool to returning an int? 0 if ok, 1 if exit menu, 2 if go up one level? etc?

16:48:00dumbkidI can write? i know that u can, but me...

16:48:30dumbkid(from today i hates strings in c.... in vb it was that easy)
16:49:27JdGordonhehe
16:49:34JdGordonone min..
16:49:36Febslinuxstb, this is an interesting exercise for me in how the code works (or at least this small part of the code). But I'm well aware that I'm basically hacking my way through it.
16:50:18dumbkiddo u know a good site which gives introducton to strings in c?
16:50:56linuxstb_dan_a: Using the stack means extra memory accesses, which are slow. The aim is to just use the banked FIQ registers.
16:51:38linuxstb_But both normal interrupts and the FIQ have their own stacks assigned (about 256 bytes IIRC), so they can use the stack if they need to.

16:55:36linuxstb_dumbkid: An important concept is that C doesn't really have strings as you know them from other languages. All it has is pointers to characters.

17:01:56k8todumbkid: strings are a bit of a special case
17:02:23k8todumbkid: a string literal evalutes as a pointer to the string location
17:02:29bluebrotherdumbkid, I don't think it's difficult. Just get used to the fact that a pointer holds the address of the thing it points to. So you need to get the address (& operator) of your string.
17:02:42S0apLate to the party, but Landus's insistance that he has nothing he is worried about being seen is beside the point. His machine's value in a botnet is much higher than his machine's value as a treasure trove of info. k8to isn't paranoid, rootkits are real, easy to deploy and effective.
17:02:52dumbkid i have a pointer
17:02:55dumbkid to a string
17:03:03bluebrotherlinuxstb_, unfortunately no (not yet)

17:03:55bluebrothermaybe strcat helps ...

17:04:29linuxstb_dumbkid: That's not always easy in C because you have to manage the memory yourself.
17:05:26bluebrotherdumbkid, maybe it helps if you try thinking of string as what they are in memory −− an array of char.
17:05:34linuxstb_You should try to think of ways to do things without those kind of operations if you can. Especially in Rockbox where you want to minimise memory use.
17:06:09k8toi assume the rockbox environment is mmuless?

17:06:38rasherlinuxstb_: I have the submenu working now, but with a warning I have no idea about, want me to put a patch somewhere?
17:07:24linuxstb_There is no malloc in the core of Rockbox, but there is a very simple implementation used by the audio codecs (because they are third-party code which was already full of mallocs).
17:07:32k8towell then i would say that the rockbox environment is not a very friendly environment for learning C
17:07:38linuxstb_rasher: Sure. Or just pastebin the warning.

17:07:58k8tolinuxstb_: is there some alternate custom allocation scheme (pages etc) or is everything just done statically as much as possible?
17:07:59 Join rotator [0] (n=e@rockbox/developer/rotator)
17:08:20rasherI guess it's because my understanding of arrays is close to nonexistant
17:08:20linuxstb_k8to: Everything is static, with a few things allocated at boot-time.
17:09:30rasherSeems to be working fine though, just that warning to take care of

17:17:13dumbkid lets see if ive done my homework:
17:17:13dumbkidthe function strlen awaits a pointer to an array of chars...
17:17:27dumbkid so i cant give him "abc" as argument
17:17:29dumbkid right?
17:17:34JdGordonyou can
17:17:38rasherstrictly speaking, a pointer to a char
17:17:39 Part DoubleThink2
17:17:40JdGordoncoz "abc" is an array of chars
17:18:09rasher"abc" is the same as { 'a', 'b', 'c' }
17:18:12dumbkid yes
17:18:18dumbkid but it has no adress in the ram
17:18:32dumbkid because i didnt declare a variable for it
17:18:34rasherit does
17:18:38dumbkid ?!?
17:18:39k8todumbkid: all variables live in ram, and thus have addresses
17:18:39linuxstb_If you write char* x = "abc", then the compiler will put the "abc" somewhere in memory for you, and x will be the address of that memory
17:18:49k8todumbkid: but, there are .. issues with how you use them
17:19:19JdGordonbed time for me, gnite all
17:19:29 Quit JdGordon ("Konversation terminated!")
17:20:04*dumbkid is confused
17:20:51k8toeverything lives in ram, or else it doesn't exist, so they have have addresses and can be pointed to
17:21:02dumbkid sounds logic
17:21:19k8tohowever, local variables only exist temporarily, so passing pointers to local variables is a bad idea, they might no longer exist by the time they are used
17:21:24k8towell
17:21:28k8tois a bad idea sometimes
17:22:20k8toalso you often cannot change strings entered literally, like "abc", so they are special in that way too
17:23:02k8tothere are many exceptions and special cases to C pointers and strings
17:23:03k8tooh well
17:23:56k8toin practice, it is best to think of literal strings as constants, I find
17:24:33dumbkid if i want to combine two "strings" to one, i first need to declare a new one where the combination is stored?
17:25:28k8tosure
17:25:47k8toin normal C you often malloc it
17:25:53dumbkid malloc?
17:26:02k8toyou ask for some memory to store the string in
17:26:31dumbkid aaaaah
17:26:53k8tochar * newstring = malloc(strlen(oldstr1) + strlen(oldstr2) + 1);
17:27:01k8tobut
17:27:07k8toin rockbox there is no malloc
17:27:16dumbkid aaaaah
17:27:25*dumbkid 's head explodes...
17:27:34dumbkid thats a nightmare!
17:27:42dumbkid so how can i do it in rockbox?
17:27:43k8toin malloc you can ask for a particular size at runtime
17:27:51k8toyou see in my example, i say, how big is string 1 and string 2?
17:27:56k8toand make something big enough for both of those
17:28:02k8to+1 for the trailing null
17:28:14k8toi didn't say the second line which would be like
17:28:19bluebrotherk8to, but you should multiply by sizeof(char)
17:28:33k8tobluebrother: okay sure
17:28:39dumbkid ?!?
17:28:46k8toalthough char is ansi defined to be 1 byte but it is reasonable
17:29:00bluebrotherdumbkid, sizeof(foo) returns the space that is needed by a type in bytes.
17:29:22dumbkid ok
17:29:27k8todumbkid: in rockbox you have to know how big things will be ahead of time
17:29:28dumbkid so far i understand
17:29:30bluebrotherso when malloc'ing malloc doesn't know anything of the type you want, so you need to take this into account.
17:29:36k8todumbkid: you cannot wait until runtime to figure out how big to make something
17:29:59dumbkid but i cant know how long the tag of an artist will be
17:30:08k8toright, so
17:30:18k8toyou pick some kind of reasonable size that you think will be "big enough"
17:30:50k8toand you drop the extra if you encounter data that is bigger than that
17:30:57k8tois this for displaying on the screen or what?
17:31:02dumbkid yes
17:31:16k8to(does the screen support scrolling etc for arbitrarily wide text?)
17:31:23dumbkid yes
17:31:28rasherlinuxstb_: did you see my patch?
17:31:41k8towell then you have to just guess
17:31:49mordovis there still no way to exclude folders in teh tagchace?
17:31:50k8tothere might be some established value for tag data i dunno
17:31:58k8tobut you do something like
17:32:14k8tochar tagstring[MAX_TAG_LENGTH];
17:32:26rashermordov: no
17:32:39rasheror yes, depending on how you want your answer, but there is no way
17:33:10mordovhope it appears :) I donøt need my audiobooks in the tag DB... sort of messes it up:)
17:33:35k8tostrncat(tagstring, oldstring1, MAX_TAG_LENGTH - 1); strncat(tagstring, oldstring2, MAX_TAG_LENGTH - 1);
17:33:56rasherYou could also use tagnavi.conf once that gets a way of excluding stuff (something like: genre != 'audiobook')
17:34:07dumbkid i know the size of my array during runtime...
17:34:14dumbkid strlen(pch) + strlen(track.id3.artist) + 4
17:34:30dumbkid pch is a pointer
17:34:40k8toi hope they are both strings
17:34:47k8toie. pointers to char arrays
17:34:47dumbkid whichs target stored a part of the artist tag
17:34:49PaulJamrasher: i think a "not" isn't yet implemented in the tagnavi.config syntax.
17:34:58dumbkid stores
17:35:12mordovbut tagnavi.conf don't do that now right?
17:35:16dumbkid they are

17:41:11_FireFly_bluebrother: the atist member of the id3-struct is only a pointer so the id3-artist string is saved somewhere else

17:43:52dumbkid found it
17:43:54dumbkid playback.h
17:44:09bluebrotherwhen speaking of tags ... I think we should rename the "ID3 Info" to something more generic ... like "Metadata".
17:44:23rasherBagder: any idea why rockboxdev.sh creates a 'gcc' executable (as opposed to $ARCH-gcc)? Didn't happen when I built them manually

17:44:51Bagderbbl
17:45:18bluebrotherI vote for changing this in all languages ;-)
17:45:20dumbkid where is struct mp3entry declared?
17:45:23rasherBurnt me today as those dirs ended up first in my path, so `which gcc` pointed to what was in fact sh-elf-gcc
17:45:32rasherdumbkid: firmware/export/id3.h
17:46:14rasherbluebrother: definately, as well as "ID3 Database"
17:46:36rasher(didn't change that though, for some reason)
17:46:40linuxstb_Maybe just "Tag Info", rather than "Metadata".
17:46:55bluebrotherlinuxstb_, I agree with this.
17:46:59rasherSong info
17:47:03rasher"what's a tag?"
17:47:25linuxstb_I've never heard anyone say "what's a tag", but people have said "what is metadata"
17:47:44bluebrotherhmm. With social networks and them usually using tags I assume most people will understand the word "tag".
17:47:45rashernevermind me
17:48:01rasherMost people don't use social networks
17:48:40linuxstb_Also, "Song info" wouldn't work if the track wasn't a song...
17:48:51rasherYeah, I was about to say that
17:48:54rasherin fact.
17:48:55bluebrotherare they still that uncommon? But I also think the word "tag" implies additional information (like a tag on my luggage when travelling)
17:49:17rasherYeah, my objection to "tag" is probably related to not being a native speaker
17:49:19linuxstb_We already use "tag" for tagcache, so it would be consistent in that respect.
17:49:35bluebrothertrue.

17:53:37DoubleThink2hey I have a bit of a pointless question... (once again)...
17:53:48DoubleThink2Hey instead of attaching Loader 2 to the firmware.... is it possible to make it boot Loader 2 without doing that
17:53:57DoubleThink2by dding the loader straight to sda1
17:53:57dumbkid strncat appends... to the END of the string dest
17:53:57DoubleThink2?
17:54:09DoubleThink2or... doesn't it work that way?
17:55:29_FireFly_dumbkid: you are right but if tagstring is only MAX_TAG_LENGTH long then you could get an buffer overrun with the second call
17:56:07dumbkid ^^ exactly thats what i wanted 2 say
17:56:07linuxstb_DoubleThink2: I've just added that functionality to tools/scramble in Rockbox. Just do "cd tools ; make scramble ; ./scramble -ipod4g loader2.bin loader2.img" and then write loader2.img to the firmware partition.
17:57:13DoubleThink2does setting up everything to compile it take ages?
17:57:20linuxstb_DoubleThink2: I _think_ that will work... But why "loader2" ? If you do that, you'll have no Apple firmware, so why do you need a menu?
17:57:46DoubleThink2because you can make Loader 2 boot the firmware straight from a file
17:57:49linuxstb_DoubleThink2: If you're in Linux, you should already have gcc installed.
17:57:51DoubleThink2Loader 2.3 anyway
17:58:04DoubleThink2it's just gcc...?

17:58:29linuxstb_"scramble.c" is just a tool to run on your PC, so yes, it needs a normal gcc.

18:29:24dumbkid please help me
18:29:29dumbkid ;)
18:30:08k8todumbkid: it reserves 25, to my knowledge
18:30:43dumbkid doest it also reserve the [0]?
18:31:25k8tochar foo[x] reserves space for x char variables, it doesn't care that you need a null
18:31:30_FireFly_dumbkid: it is reserve 25 Bytes and the index is from 0 to 24

18:31:38dumbkid ah ok
18:32:13DoubleThink2hmm.... the loader doesn't work the way it says it should
18:32:41DoubleThink2but thanks linuxstb, the scramble thing worked perfectly
18:33:59dumbkid any ideas whats the porblem of my log?
18:34:03dumbkid http://pastebin.ca/96029
18:35:04linuxstb_DoubleThink2: So loader2 loads OK?
18:35:16DoubleThink2yup
18:36:01DoubleThink2but the " Apple OS @ (hd0,1)/apple_os.bin" line in the loader config file doesn't work right
18:36:19DoubleThink2(hd0,2) actually
18:37:27DoubleThink2oh and not only does loader2 load ok it also loads hell of a lot faster

18:42:17linuxstb_DoubleThink2: Yes, that's because a copy of the apple firmware is no longer being loaded into memory with the bootloader.
18:42:51linuxstb_What happens if you try and load the apple firmware? Does it just crash?
18:43:17linuxstb_dumbkid: Something like 256.
18:44:04DoubleThink2it has the loading status bar type thing then says something along the lines of "load complete, starting...".... the screen goes a bit darker and I am back in the loader 2 menu
18:44:46DoubleThink2and this was exactly what happened before I did the scramble thing
18:44:52*freqmod added speex speed improvements uwb (32kHz mono) realtime with 90% pitch on ipod (gcc4).
18:45:01freqmodit seems like it loades itself
18:45:27DoubleThink2yeah that's what I thought
18:45:30linuxstb_DoubleThink2: How did you create the "apple_os.bin" file?
18:45:37DoubleThink2it is the file you sent me
18:45:43linuxstb_No it isn't...
18:45:43DoubleThink2the extracted firmware
18:45:49DoubleThink2renamed to that
18:46:18linuxstb_The file I sent you was an image of the firmware partition. You need to use ipod_fw to extract apple_os.bin from that image.
18:46:45DoubleThink2oh >.> ... I am an idiot then
18:46:58grimmanDoubleThink2: You should admit such things, ever.
18:46:59grimman;)
18:47:25DoubleThink2*shouldn't ?
18:47:34grimmanDoh. Yes.

18:48:37DoubleThink2lol
18:48:53DoubleThink2I just don't understand how all this works well so I make stupid mistakes
18:49:17grimmanNothing permanent I should think.
18:49:46*freqmod loaded apple os from file (works)
18:49:54DoubleThink2guess I learn from my mistakes
18:50:05linuxstb_freqmod: Which ipod?
18:50:07DoubleThink2freqmod, using loader 2.4 or 2.3?
18:52:55 Nick dan_a is now known as dan_a_away (n=dan-mirc@217.23.173.156)
18:53:29*freqmod didn't use scramble (yet) on ipod Video will check loader soon
18:54:07grimman"Scramble"?
18:54:13linuxstb_freqmod: scramble won't help on the 5g if you want to use Apple's firmware - it doesn't copy the rsrc file to the partition.
18:54:52freqmoddo i need the rsrcfile for using the apple firmware with ipodloader2
18:54:54freqmod?
18:55:23DoubleThink2ok it booted properly
18:55:32linuxstb_freqmod: Yes.
18:55:44DoubleThink2actually no it's frozen
18:56:06DoubleThink2can't do anything (hold is off(not that stupid))

19:04:07dumbkid how can i debug it?

19:23:37dumbkid i thought of that xD
19:23:42dumbkid but would it work?
19:23:43Paul_The_Nerdlinuxstb_: I was wondering how suitable the TCPMP sources might be, since they're GPLed, and when I inquired about the sources (it's an "email to get your GPL source" type thing) they said that they'd looked at Rockbox
19:23:55Paul_The_NerdIn fact, they said it could "EASILY be ported to Rockbox"
19:23:57linuxstb_dumbkid: Also, "!(*pointer==0)" is the same as just (*pointer).
19:24:02Paul_The_NerdBut that they'd decided not to, as it wasn't in their project's direction.

19:26:17linuxstb_Ah, it's just using ffmpeg.
19:26:23Paul_The_NerdAh
19:26:50Paul_The_NerdI hadn't even gotten to checking if it was fixed point or not yet, as I figured the first thing I should do was ask if anyone had looked at it yet.
19:26:56linuxstb_But it coul be useful to see if they have any ARM optimisations not in ffmpeg's cvs.

19:27:21dumbkidhow can i "unregister" a variable / make the space free
19:28:05bluebrotherdumbkid, you can't.
19:28:21bluebrotheryou can do so for dynamically allocated space (malloc) with free.
19:28:41Paul_The_NerdIt runs XVid nicely at 320*240 on my phone, so I figured it's probably at least fairly fast.
19:29:16dumbkidbut i need to declare a pointer which i need only for line, which steals the ram of my iriver then all the time?
19:29:59linuxstb_Ouch, it's using libFLAC for FLAC instead of ffmpeg...
19:30:29bluebrotherjust don't declare it globally. When it becomes invalid by leaving the function it can be used otherwise (by the compiler)
19:30:40bluebrotherthe space for that variable, I mean.

19:34:16bluebrotherptemp is '\0' after the first ptemp while loop, so the second (skipping trailing spaces) does nothing.
19:34:52dumbkidwhy?
19:34:55bluebrotheralso, as you're dealing with chars I'd suggest you use '\0' for marking the string end.
19:35:04dumbkidok
19:35:29bluebrotherbecause ptemp is incremented until its content is '\0', meaning you have reached the end of a string.
19:35:39dumbkidyes
19:35:45dumbkidand than its decremented
19:35:56dumbkidas long as. ! ah
19:35:58bluebrothernow, when you want to skip trailing spaces directly afterwards *ptemp = '\0'.
19:36:26bluebrotherso while(*ptmp == ' ') is false on the first run and thus gets never executed.
19:36:38bluebrotheryou can use do ... while or decrement it manually first.
19:36:39Paul_The_Nerdlinuxstb_: So, do you think it might at least be a good starting point?
19:36:50dumbkidwhile (*ptemp) ptemp++;
19:36:51dumbkidwhile (*ptemp == ' ') ptemp−−;
19:36:51dumbkid *ptemp = '\0';

19:37:03dumbkidptemp−−;
19:37:03dumbkidwhile (*ptemp == ' ') ptemp−−;
19:37:03dumbkid*ptemp = '\0';
19:37:10dumbkidthis should work, shouldnt it?
19:37:36linuxstb_Paul_The_Nerd: Maybe, but there's a _lot_ of unneccessary (and probably unused) source code in the archive. (at least the one I found - http://picard.exceed.hu/tcpmp/test/tcpmp.src.0.72RC1.tar.bz2)

19:39:30bluebrotheryes, it's the same as above. After the last while loop you point to the first character that isn't a space.

20:12:49ShyKyes
20:14:53linuxstb_As Paul_The_Nerd said, the only interesting parts of tcpmp are their codecs, and they all seem to be from other GPL projects anyway, such as ffmpeg, libmad, libFLAC etc
20:15:26linuxstb_So it doesn't seem that interesting - apart from an MPEG-1 codec they seem to have written themselves.
20:15:59dumbkidwhen i want to use diff the oldfile and the newfile have to have the same name, dont they?
20:18:38linuxstb_No - the names can be the same.
20:18:52linuxstb_(assuming they are in different directories)
20:20:21ShyKlinuxstb_: i would bet the libavcodec mpeg-1 decoder is much better
20:20:23dumbkidbut wont patch search for the renamed file then to patch it?
20:22:41linuxstb_ShyK: Yes, but it's a nightmare to extract from ffmpeg
20:23:20linuxstb_But maybe we should just port ffmpeg as a whole...
20:23:40Paul_The_NerdThat might be a good idea.
20:23:49Paul_The_NerdWe seem to enjoy a lot of their code already.
20:23:58ShyKi'd say yes. no other alternative exists that is fully featured except ffmpeg

20:52:23dumbkidwhat are .o files?
20:53:54bagawkdumbkid: object files
20:54:08 Part UrbanNightmare ("Ex-Chat")
20:54:11dumbkidsomething like binarys?
20:54:21bagawkdumbkid: basicly compiled, ready to be linked into an executable
20:54:31dumbkid^^
20:54:39dumbkidok, dlls :)
20:54:49k8to_no
20:54:53dumbkid?
20:54:54k8to_although similar
20:55:27k8to_a series of .o files can be combined into a .exe, or a .so/.dll
20:55:37k8to_depending upon how they are linked, and the intended purpose
20:55:48k8to_or, also a static library (.a) but this doesn't come up so much these days
20:56:29 Join Febs [0] (n=medifebb@207-172-122-81.c3-0.rdl-ubr4.trpr-rdl.pa.cable.rcn.com)
20:56:53k8to_in C, each file is compiled seperately, and then the results of those seperate compilation steps are joined together
20:57:04k8to_so, the .o is the result of the individual file compilations
20:59:10dumbkidwhats the difference beetween a static library and a dynamic
20:59:12dumbkid?
20:59:46Ribsa static program has all the libraries it needs built into it
20:59:55Ribsa dynamic one loads up the external libraries as required.
20:59:58k8to_dumbkid: so, first we just have .o files
21:00
21:00:07k8to_dumbkid: and we can link these into a program
21:00:30k8to_dumbkid: but if we wanted to make a set of code to use over and over, this is kind of messy, so libraries were invented
21:00:40linuxstb_A static library is linked to the application at compile-time. A dynamic library is linked at run-time.
21:01:33k8to_dumbkid: a static library, or archive is just a pile of .o files stored together. when a program is linked against a static library, the linker pulls out the various .o files which the program actually uses, and combines them with the .o files the programmer built against his program, and a combined executable is created
21:02:02DoubleThink2linuxstb.... using the loader as the only thing on sda1 is not possible without scrambler yet?
21:02:42k8to_dumbkid: a shared library is more complex. instead of just pulling the .o files out of the .a and linking them in, it instead adds special code to the created exeuctable that will cause the shared library to be linked in at runtime
21:03:11k8to_a static library is basically a zip or tar file for .os
21:03:21k8to_it only matters when building the software
21:03:35k8to_dynamic libraries are nice because the memory is shared, and they can be upgraded without recompiling
21:03:39k8to_the end
21:03:41linuxstb_DoubleThink2: Maybe IPL have tools for it, but I've not been following the loader2 development very closely.
21:04:02dumbkidis there the possibility to already link a dll during compiletime, so that the client dont need that file?
21:04:06DoubleThink2nuh I couldn't find anything on iPL
21:04:20DoubleThink2and doing it this way seems to make it hang up
21:04:22k8to_dumbkid: i don't know about windows so much, but that's not the way it is usually done
21:04:47_FireFly_dumbkid: for this static librarys are for
21:05:05linuxstb_DoubleThink2: Does loader2 work reliably if it's loaded in the traditional way (i.e. using make_fw/ipod_fw) ?
21:05:09k8to_dumbkid: for most use cases of dll files, if you had all the source, or the equivalent static libraries, you could change it around so that it would all be linked into the program
21:05:22k8to_dumbkid: i mean, you could build the program that way
21:05:23mordovbugg report: my tagcahce somtimes hang on uppdate and when I reset my H120 the tagchace is gone all the files are deleted.
21:05:37k8to_dumbkid: there's very little advantage to this, so it is not typically done
21:05:52DoubleThink2linuxstf_: yeah it works fine that way

21:22:14_FireFly_svn is similar to cvs but imho better

21:22:43DoubleThink2ok thanks

23:38:48_FireFly_sidolin: no wonder his builds are a bit out of date on his side
23:39:00sidolini know
23:39:18sidolinbut i dont really want to use old plugins
23:39:41sidolinand i think crosscompiling and applying these patches isnt so easy
23:39:57sidolinespecially if these patches are old
23:40:00_FireFly_either you download the build from 30.06.2006 from rockbox.org or you apply the patches yourself and compile it
23:40:22_FireFly_sidolin: it isn't so hard if you know how to do it
23:40:51sidolinok, ive got some time to waste anyway :)
23:40:59_FireFly_http://www.rockbox.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/SimpleGuideToCompiling
23:41:20_FireFly_there is a nice guide how to do it
23:41:25_FireFly_:)
23:41:35sidolinNOTE: This guide is for Windows users only! :/
23:42:07PaulJami guess at least the scrolling margins patch will neet some work to apply cleanly, some recent cahnges broke it.
23:42:18sidolinhmm
23:42:23_FireFly_sidolin: only the cygwin installation
23:43:19_FireFly_sidolin: http://www.rockbox.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/CrossCompiler to setup the cross-compile env
23:44:52linuxstbfreqmod: I'll look forward to the patch... So I assume loader2 can load the apple firmware from the FAT32 partition?
23:45:33freqmodyes, but the apple firmware is a little unstable (i don't really know why) as video works
23:45:58sidolinyeah, compiling gcc, this reminds me of installing gentoo :)
23:46:17dionoeainstalling gentoo is worse :)
23:46:49freqmod(which is the only thing that works) (diskmode doesn't work, nor does audio playing) :(
23:48:05linuxstbWhen I was working on the Rockbox bootloader, I tried to get it to load the apple firmware from a file, and it never worked reliably - so I gave up...
23:48:16_FireFly_sidolin: you can also use crossdev to create the build-env for rockbox ;)
23:48:47Bagdercp PP5022.mi4.my /mnt/archos/PP5022.mi4
23:49:00_FireFly_dionoea: with gentoo you have a bit more freedom of choice ,:)
23:49:10dionoeafreedom to wait too :p
23:49:46_FireFly_thats the only disadvantage
23:49:46dan_aHmmm... can anyone suggest why I get buffer underruns in the WPS, but not while I'm looking at the menu screen?
23:50:06_FireFly_dan_a: mybe too dynamic wps ?
23:50:20PaulJamdo you have peakmeters in the wps?
23:50:23Bagderwow
23:50:27Bagderfailure
23:50:55dan_a_FireFly_: I'm currently using one which just shows the artist and track name, nothing dynamic
23:53:03linuxstbdan_a: I would expect that even a simple WPS will do more work than you just sitting in a menu, but I don't know how WPSs work in detail...
23:53:24linuxstbBagder: Trying a modified firmware on the Sansa?
23:53:29Bagderyeah
23:53:38Bagdernow stuck in a black screen...
23:53:45Bagderwith text
23:54:37dionoeathat sounds like a good first step :)
23:55:24Bagderrecovery mode engaged
23:56:34BagderI tried with a "silly" DSA signing approach
23:56:43Bagderjust to see if a dummy set would work
23:56:52Bagderwould avoid having to patch the BL
23:57:02Bagderit didn't
23:57:03freqmodlinuxstb: do you want the patch posted as a bug, or is it ok with pastebin? (if not apple_sw_5g_rcsc.bin is present the patch does not affect the product) (tested with hexdiff and size check)
23:58:01linuxstbI'ld prefer it if you posted to the patch tracker.
23:58:12linuxstbSo it automatically looks for that file, rather than specifying it on the command-line?
23:58:16freqmodscramble.c: http://pastebin.ca/96398 (posts it in the tracker too)
23:58:18dionoeai wonder why they always have to sign/encode the firmwares ...
23:58:47Bagderthey like to make it hard for us
