| 00:00:07 | randi | it's irc. does work ever happen? |
| 00:00:15 | Paul_The_Nerd | You'd be surprised. |
| 00:01:00 | Paul_The_Nerd | Some 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. |
| 00:01:17 | midkay | haha. excuse me. |
| 00:01:32 | randi | someone replied to that ad with a myspace url and they said 'u' instead of 'you'. disqualification. |
| 00:01:49 | midkay | look at you! chatting with someone in the middle of #rockbox. how dare you point ME out as a slacker. |
| 00:01:59 | midkay | get an IM window, you two. |
| 00:02:00 | randi | to be fair, i only joined to harass him. |
| 00:02:13 | randi | i googled him, found the url, and found the irc bits mentioned. |
| 00:02:31 | midkay | :o |
| 00:02:40 | Paul_The_Nerd | I have to chat off-topic in here. That way people can yell at me for being hypocritical when I tell them not to. |
| 00:02:57 | Paul_The_Nerd | I 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. |
| 00:03:09 | midkay | yes, well... i win. |
| 00:03:26 | Paul_The_Nerd | Anyway, *you* have a Rockbox Developer host mask. |
| 00:03:31 | Paul_The_Nerd | I don't get fancy stuff like that. |
| 00:03:49 | randi | getting a vanity host isn't any superhero feat. |
| 00:03:52 | midkay | not like you asked for it! |
| 00:04:12 | Paul_The_Nerd | I know! A certain someone snuck in behind my back and finally added me to the credits. |
| 00:04:33 | midkay | haha. finally indeed. |
| 00:04:44 | midkay | we couldn't stand your not-asking-for-it any longer. |
| 00:05:21 | Paul_The_Nerd | If I recall, it was more of a subtly-hinting-that-you-shouldn't. But I suppose it doesn't hurt anything. |
| 00:05:44 | midkay | haha. |
| 00:05:44 | Paul_The_Nerd | Googling my real name finally shows me rather than some silly famous Titanic expert. |
| 00:05:51 | midkay | haha. |

| 00:06:56 | Paul_The_Nerd | Well, minus the brown for me. |
| 00:07:48 | midkay | but that's the Titanic tart. |
| 00:08:56 | Paul_The_Nerd | Is hardeep doing tagcache stuff still or just Slasheri? |
| 00:09:22 | Paul_The_Nerd | I want to pester someone about adding the ability to disallow caching of certain folders, now that we've got SID support. |
| 00:09:50 | Paul_The_Nerd | Also, randi: Do you have some other means of communication than stalking me here, and email? |
| 00:10:45 | amiconn | Paul_The_Nerd: There's a very simple method to not cache the sid dirs: disable dircache ;) |
| 00:11:45 | randi | oh dear. you aren't that titanic expert? |
| 00:11:48 | Paul_The_Nerd | Well, it's the simplest way to search for songs, say titles containing the word X, isn't it? |
| 00:11:50 | randi | my dreams are shattered. |
| 00:11:55 | randi | hmm |
| 00:11:59 | randi | i've got AIM and skype. |
| 00:12:12 | Paul_The_Nerd | I don't yet have skype. |

| 00:13:46 | amiconn | Btw, for me the fastest method to find a song is to go into the dir where it's stored |
| 00:14:24 | Paul_The_Nerd | But 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. |
| 00:14:54 | midkay | Search by Title: "Tetris"? |
| 00:15:26 | amiconn | But why would you want to exclude some dirs then? |
| 00:15:36 | amiconn | SIDs are music files as well... |
| 00:17:10 | Paul_The_Nerd | Because 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. |

| 00:27:28 | randi | i *hate* cingular. |
| 00:27:33 | randi | their unlimited data plan is $80/month |
| 00:27:36 | randi | that's just absurd. |
| 00:27:39 | Paul_The_Nerd | $20/month |
| 00:27:44 | randi | eh? |
| 00:27:47 | randi | unlimited GPRS? |
| 00:27:50 | Paul_The_Nerd | At least, that's what I'm paying for EDGE |
| 00:27:50 | randi | not in atl. |
| 00:27:52 | Paul_The_Nerd | Unlimited. |
| 00:27:58 | randi | interesting. |
| 00:28:04 | randi | so they are finally offering it at competitive rates out here. |
| 00:28:06 | Paul_The_Nerd | I mean, my total bill is about $70 with everything else. |
| 00:28:28 | Paul_The_Nerd | But the unlimited data service is $20, and since the cellphone doubles as a USB modem, it's quite convenient. |
| 00:28:29 | randi | since 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. |

| 01:29:02 | Paul_The_Nerd | You will need to compile the program to merge your bootloader, or run the fwpatcher program in WINE |
| 01:29:22 | blackvd | ah thats what they were talking about |

| 02:21:15 | earHertz | tagcahce has to put as many tracks' tag data in memory as it can, becaus eit has to sort or search them |

| 03:46:06 | manos | hey, 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? |
| 03:46:41 | earHertz | manos: i9f it connects to the headphone jacks yes, itf it connects to tteh usb, no |
| 03:47:03 | manos | got it |
| 03:47:33 | manos | isn't the sound from the jack going to be a little bit crappier than the usb? |
| 03:47:46 | earHertz | manos: in my experience it is better |
| 03:47:51 | manos | really? |
| 03:47:58 | earHertz | I got a $50 itrip |
| 03:48:11 | manos | doing a good job? |
| 03:48:19 | earHertz | but the sound tended to incoude electrical "noise" from the ipod |
| 03:48:29 | earHertz | noisee that incresed when teh hdd spun |
| 03:48:36 | manos | ? |
| 03:48:40 | manos | well |
| 03:48:56 | scorche | I have heard that the Monster transmitters are very good. Haven't tried them myself though. |
| 03:48:58 | manos | if i use my headphones, what's the difference when u use speakers? |
| 03:49:09 | earHertz | an $18 ugly thing from walmart produces far better sound connected to the headphone jaqck |
| 03:49:23 | earHertz | no, nop, the jack is the thing |

| 03:50:43 | UrbanNightmare | earHertz: I'm in the process of that now. |
| 03:50:54 | earHertz | UrbanNightmare: good |
| 03:51:53 | Paul_The_Nerd | manos: 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. |
| 03:52:05 | earHertz | Paul_The_Nerd: is right |
| 03:52:32 | UrbanNightmare | earHertz: I first thought I would try patching in a different order. Sometime thats the best fix. |
| 03:52:41 | earHertz | UrbanNightmare: indeed |
| 03:52:50 | manos | thnx guys |
| 03:53:19 | manos | so i just need a cable then? |
| 03:53:21 | manos | :P |
| 03:53:32 | manos | line out to line in? |
| 03:53:46 | earHertz | you need a car stereo with a line in |
| 03:53:54 | manos | yeah |
| 03:54:02 | manos | and a cable right? |
| 03:54:10 | earHertz | um, yeah |
| 03:54:22 | manos | any specific type? |
| 03:54:33 | manos | i mean stereo.. |
| 03:54:39 | earHertz | minijack to whatever the line in takes |
| 03:54:45 | earHertz | oh |
| 03:54:51 | earHertz | god knows |

| 03:55:16 | manos | god is not intereted about ipods |
| 03:55:24 | manos | interested* |
| 03:57:43 | manos | the truth is though, that i'm not going to achieve cd quality using my ipod connected to my stereo right? |
| 04:00 |
| 04:00:32 | manos | oi |
| 04:00:53 | earHertz | well, mp3s are not "cd quality" |
| 04:01:17 | Paul_The_Nerd | Well, it also depends on how you define CD quality |
| 04:01:23 | earHertz | if you want cd quality, record flac and use a device with digital out |
| 04:01:34 | Paul_The_Nerd | Technically lossless files are CD quality, but it may or may not sound as good as a CD if you have bad cabling. |
| 04:02:43 | earHertz | technically, 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 |
| 04:03:33 | earHertz | spend $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 |
| 04:03:43 | earHertz | $20,000 |
| 04:03:50 | manos | :) |
| 04:03:55 | Paul_The_Nerd | I think season tickits to the Houston Symphony are a lot less than even $1000 |

| 04:04:59 | earHertz | digital out is the digital data from the vcd, not the results iof convertign the digital to analog |
| 04:05:15 | manos | ok |
| 04:05:23 | manos | how do i achieve that |

| 04:05:37 | manos | yeah |
| 04:05:38 | earHertz | for that you use the usb |

| 04:06:35 | earHertz | dude, your car is not silent eniough, nor are the echo-characteristics of the spce inside it, conducibe to "perfect" sound |
| 04:07:03 | manos | i'm just serious about my sound, being a musician |
| 04:07:16 | Paul_The_Nerd | Yeah, in a car, any format someone claims is "transparent" in secluded listening will probably be more than suitable for use. |
| 04:07:19 | Paul_The_Nerd | Barring major artifacts. |
| 04:07:26 | S0ap | dude, 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. |
| 04:07:35 | earHertz | then you know that clmmercsil music is mastered, etc, such that the "origiobal" sound is lost |

| 04:09:33 | earHertz | essentail advice: neceer trust midkay |
| 04:10:40 | Paul_The_Nerd | essential advice: Buy a car stereo that accepts a line in. If your music is _all_ mp3, instead get one that can read from a USB Mass Storage Device. But only if your music is all MP3 (or supported formats of the car stereo) and you do not care for future possibility. |
| 04:11:10 | manos | hm |
| 04:11:12 | manos | yeah |

| 05:37:58 | ShyK | super mario brothers: the lost levels was best ;) |
| 05:38:14 | Paul_The_Nerd | I dunno. I'm quite the fan of New Super Mario Bros. |
| 05:38:45 | webguest98 | there are new ones? |
| 05:39:08 | webguest98 | thought they died when it went 3d |
| 05:40:37 | webguest98 | the buffer misses do slow it down a little so it sounds more like normal speed |
| 05:40:44 | webguest98 | maybe thats the key... |

| 05:43:14 | Paul_The_Nerd | The graphics are 3D, but the gameplay is straight old-school. |
| 05:43:21 | Paul_The_Nerd | Side scrolling Mario. |
| 05:43:34 | webguest98 | ok as long as he is side scrolling |
| 05:43:44 | Paul_The_Nerd | Very much so. |
| 05:43:55 | webguest98 | i lost so much respect for mario when they started to make him talk |
| 05:43:57 | Paul_The_Nerd | It feels like a cross between Super Mario 1, Super Mario 3, and a little bit of Super Mario World. |

| 05:45:22 | webguest98 | a gameboy emulator would be cool for rockbox |
| 05:45:35 | * | Paul_The_Nerd points to Rockboy |
| 05:45:43 | sharpe | hahah... |
| 05:45:48 | Paul_The_Nerd | A DS is easily worth the money though. |
| 05:46:07 | sharpe | Paul_The_Nerd: guess what i'm finally getting around to posting on the internet! |
| 05:46:14 | ShyK | DS itself maybe. but as always, nintendo's games cost as much as the platform :D |
| 05:46:28 | Paul_The_Nerd | sharpe: SIDE port? |
| 05:46:33 | webguest98 | instead of the playstation prtoable thing? |
| 05:46:33 | sharpe | nope, but close. |

| 05:47:54 | sharpe | indeedy. |
| 05:48:42 | webguest98 | hmmm cant figure it out...i think my ipod has problems with usb 2 or something...on my newer computer it has difficulty in disk mode...older usb 1.1 computer it works fine... |
| 05:48:46 | sharpe | i don't really work on either anymore, i'm going to just post the source to both. (not forum-wise). |

| 05:48:56 | Paul_The_Nerd | Pass the buck |
| 05:49:02 | Paul_The_Nerd | webguest98: What kinds of problems? |
| 05:49:25 | webguest98 | i put it on disk mode, connect it, try to transfer files and it states ok to disconnect |
| 05:49:29 | ShyK | Paul_The_Nerd: you should try The Lost Levels some time, it's seriously an insanely well made game. basically super mario 1 improved and made more fun. probably the game i had most fun playing ever. |
| 05:49:37 | webguest98 | lost levels is awesome |
| 05:49:39 | Paul_The_Nerd | I've played it. |
| 05:49:54 | ShyK | it's addictive :) |
| 05:49:59 | Paul_The_Nerd | Played the original NES cart, pirated, while I was in Pakistan. |
| 05:50:11 | webguest98 | i got to like level 8 on it i think last castle...could not beat the thing |
| 05:50:28 | Paul_The_Nerd | New Super Mario Bros is a little bit on the easy side, by my standards, but I could just be a better gamer now. |
| 05:50:53 | ShyK | yeah sadly most games nowadays are too easy |
| 05:51:20 | webguest98 | the later special levels on super mario world i think some of the hardest to do with the except of lost levels |
| 05:52:24 | webguest98 | like to one where you had to exactly hit a few special blocks to become balloon mario or u died |

| 05:55:04 | webguest98 | paul: it was challenging though :) |
| 05:55:13 | Paul_The_Nerd | It was. |
| 05:55:22 | Paul_The_Nerd | Actually, that's the one level I wouldn't qualify as challenging. |
| 05:55:27 | Paul_The_Nerd | There's a line where it's just irritating. |
| 05:55:34 | webguest98 | there was another sky level in special world where you had to like fall off the screen to beat it i think |
| 05:55:37 | Paul_The_Nerd | Basically the point where luck factors into your completion. |

| 05:58:47 | scorche | ShyK: There are a few subtle changes. |
| 05:59:15 | ShyK | cosmetic? |
| 05:59:28 | scorche | ShyK: 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 |
| 05:59:28 | scorche | e center of the pipe. |

| 06:00 |
| 06:00:19 | ShyK | scorche: wow.. weird, had no idea. |
| 06:00:50 | scorche | ShyK: There are other changes specific to the Allstars incarnation. See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Super_Mario_Brothers_2:_The_Lost_Levels |
| 06:01:35 | ShyK | speaking 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 |
| 06:02:20 | ShyK | never got around to creating something truly good with it though. the super mario level designers are complete geniuses |

| 07:36:15 | midkay | huh? |
| 07:36:44 | sharpe | nevermind. |
| 07:36:46 | midkay | it's generally accepted that jokes ought to make sense for them to be funny.. if that was even a joke.. i can't tell. |
| 07:36:56 | scorche` | It made sense to me. |
| 07:37:06 | midkay | being modest with ugly smilies? |
| 07:37:23 | midkay | enlighten me. |
| 07:37:29 | | Part Paul_The_Nerd |
| 07:37:32 | gursikh | ok e-mail sent |
| 07:37:34 | scorche` | As in, you were being modest (understating) your ugliness with the smilies. |
| 07:38:06 | gursikh | is PaulLouden on? |

| 07:38:14 | midkay | he *just* left.. |

| 07:38:26 | midkay | scorche`: i called the smilies ugly.. not myself. |
| 07:38:31 | midkay | so that doesn't make any sense at all. |
| 07:38:32 | gursikh | exciting, he was editing a page I would like to edit.... |
| 07:39:11 | sharpe | chips-ahoy, in the new snack and seal package. |
| 07:39:17 | scorche` | midkay: It was a sharpei joke - it isn't supposed to make complete sense. |

| 07:51:34 | midkay | gursikh: 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). |
| 07:52:05 | gursikh_ | Excellent. I'm just going to be doing clean-up mostly |
| 07:52:28 | midkay | good to hear, shouldn't be any problems.. |

| 07:53:11 | gursikh_ | 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 |

| 08:00 |
| 08:00:07 | sharpe | we pride ourselves on capitalization |
| 08:00:17 | gursikh_ | as per: http://www.rockbox.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/IriverFAQ#iRiver_or_iriver |
| 08:00:40 | gursikh_ | as many of the category names and page titles as capatilzed incorrectly |
| 08:02:01 | gursikh_ | and, would changing the titles,etc. break anything (links) |
| 08:02:10 | amiconn | yes |
| 08:02:28 | scorche | gursikh_: In many wikis (not sure about Twiki), the first letter of the title must be capital. |
| 08:02:34 | amiconn | Not internal links (afaik twiki auto-adapts them), but external ones |
| 08:02:59 | gursikh_ | Ic, so I will leave that for later. |

| 08:04:18 | gursikh_ | 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 |
| 08:04:45 | gursikh_ | or do they not count as there is no "release" for those ports? |
| 08:04:55 | scorche | Example in context? |
| 08:05:21 | sharpe | i'd say many wiki pages which haven't been edited in years. |
| 08:05:34 | scorche | Indeed. |
| 08:05:45 | scorche | But, it can be situational... |
| 08:05:52 | sharpe | of course. |
| 08:06:08 | gursikh_ | yeah many of these pages are old |
| 08:06:24 | gursikh_ | mostly minor edits |
| 08:06:51 | gursikh_ | example: http://www.rockbox.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/LiIonBatteryFAQ add iriver's to this as it has liion battery. |
| 08:08:13 | amiconn | Almost. Irivers and iPods have LiPo batteries |
| 08:08:31 | gursikh_ | and thats why I only do cleanup |
| 08:08:34 | amiconn | But most of the questions in there are archos fm/v2 specific anyway |
| 08:08:38 | scorche | I 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 ;) |
| 08:09:15 | gursikh_ | or updating the blindfaq for iriver,ipod,iaudio |
| 08:09:16 | sharpe | never offset any work to sharpe, :\ |

| 08:09:28 | scorche | sharpe: Of course not! |
| 08:09:37 | Jungti1234 | hello |
| 08:10:32 | gursikh_ | is there a plaintext 2.5 manual? |
| 08:10:41 | scorche | gursikh_: I would keep to minor edits (while keeping a list of these types), unless you are very familiar with that topic. |
| 08:10:52 | gursikh_ | yeah |
| 08:11:42 | scorche | amiconn: Perhaps, get some of the main manual people working on these if they are interested? |
| 08:11:50 | gursikh_ | 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? |
| 08:12:09 | scorche | gursikh_: that is not worth updating... |
| 08:12:21 | gursikh_ | for the blind? |
| 08:13:29 | scorche | oh...on that page |
| 08:14:17 | scorche | use WikiManual to link if need be for now |
| 08:14:34 | gursikh_ | 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 ? |
| 08:15:05 | scorche | i dont see why not |
| 08:15:19 | * | scorche has run out of patience for typing "correctly" =( |
| 08:15:33 | gursikh_ | so default back to incorrectly ? |
| 08:15:37 | gursikh_ | how bad is it? |
| 08:15:43 | scorche | just this |
| 08:16:00 | scorche | no capitalization (sometimes), slightly less punctuation |
| 08:16:07 | scorche | nothing unreadable |
| 08:16:43 | gursikh_ | I say this isn't english class. Be confortable, rockbox is supposed to be fun (apparently) anyways :0D |
| 08:17:12 | scorche | yes, but it was an attempt (successful i might add) to annoy midkay |
| 08:17:35 | gursikh_ | annoy by being proper? |
| 08:17:41 | midkay | .. taken a bit too far, i might add.. |

| 08:37:30 | Slasheri | currently it's only speed optimized |
| 08:38:46 | Slasheri | amiconn: and maybe the ramcache feature could be dropped for archos.. not sure if that's useful at all |

| 08:39:30 | ShyK | gursikh_: if it was ever true, i would find another ISP quickly :) |
| 08:40:02 | amiconn | Slasheri: I'll check out ramcache this we... but probably it can be dropped. |
| 08:40:15 | Slasheri | ok, sounds good |
| 08:40:51 | amiconn | ...provided that doesn't break some tagcache operations (but iiuc it shouldn't, since ramcache is optional anyway) |
| 08:41:35 | sharpe | amiconn: what is the limit of the firmware size for the archoses? |
| 08:41:40 | amiconn | I'll check how much ram it actually takes |
| 08:41:41 | Slasheri | yep, it shouldn't break anything (it's already enable by #ifdef HAVE_TC_RAMCACHE) |
| 08:42:51 | amiconn | sharpe: There are various limits. |
| 08:43:09 | amiconn | (1) for firmware loaded from disk: max. 200KB for player/studio and recorder v1, 400KB for the others (recorder fm/v2 and Ondios) |
| 08:43:46 | amiconn | This is relaxed a bit in that if the firmware exceeds this limit (currently the case for recorder v1), we build a self-decompressing version |
| 08:44:03 | sharpe | ah... |
| 08:44:15 | amiconn | (2) for flashing rockbox: max. 232KB for player/studio, 228KB for all others |
| 08:45:16 | amiconn | If the uncompressed size exceeds this limit, flash firmware can be compressed too, but that obviously forbids running _directly_ from flash rom |
| 08:45:42 | sharpe | alright, i believe i get it now. |
| 08:45:52 | amiconn | We're now a little below 226KB for fmrecorder... |
| 08:46:08 | sharpe | ah, i see the concern then. |

| 09:20:46 | earHertz | Slasheri: does ramcache actually work on ipods? |
| 09:21:05 | Slasheri | earHertz: hmm, it should. Do you have problems with it? |
| 09:21:16 | earHertz | well, perhaps |
| 09:21:30 | Slasheri | but i don't have ipod to test with :/ |
| 09:22:05 | earHertz | if I go to Info|view tagcache info, it tells ne Ramcache:no |
| 09:22:21 | Slasheri | however, on flash players there is no need to enable either dircache or tagcache ramcache |
| 09:22:48 | Slasheri | hmm, do you have selected "load tagcache to ram: yes" and rebooted? |
| 09:22:55 | earHertz | \indeed, I have |
| 09:22:59 | Slasheri | interesting.. |
| 09:23:19 | Slasheri | and tagcache works but it just loads entries from disk? |
| 09:23:28 | earHertz | also, the disk is accessed when I page through long tagcach elists |
| 09:23:47 | earHertz | well, i'm not sure what the behavior is SUPOSED to be |
| 09:23:52 | Slasheri | weird.. could you access the logf debug console? |
| 09:24:01 | earHertz | Slasheri: I could |
| 09:24:03 | Slasheri | it could be useful if you could provide the logf dump |
| 09:24:10 | Slasheri | great |

| 09:33:38 | Slasheri | hmm, i am wondering if anybody has yet tried the runtimedb |
| 09:33:52 | earHertz | Slasheri: wilst we wait, can I bug you about a tagcache pucliarity? |
| 09:34:07 | Slasheri | please do ;) |
| 09:34:22 | earHertz | ah, rebboting now! |
| 09:35:27 | earHertz | Slasheri: 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 |
| 09:35:31 | amiconn | Retailos inhibits diskmode when battery is really low, and just charges instead |
| 09:35:39 | amiconn | (with the big battery icon displayed) |
| 09:35:55 | earHertz | ah |
| 09:37:39 | earHertz | Slasheri: why not use different gui_list instances? |
| 09:38:15 | Slasheri | earHertz: ah, that code is based on the old tagdb browser |
| 09:38:32 | Slasheri | the current level is stored in the tree context |
| 09:39:00 | earHertz | and current level offset |
| 09:39:18 | amiconn | earHertz: Does the filebrowser behave different? |
| 09:39:32 | earHertz | amiconn: I do not know; it's a good qurestion |
| 09:40:13 | earHertz | this list re-use makes one of my patcghes have to do extra work |
| 09:40:57 | earHertz | Slasheri: ok, I have teh logf.. should I send it to you or can you tell me what I should look for? |
| 09:41:17 | Slasheri | earHertz: you should see something like loading tagcache to ram |

| 09:52:12 | Slasheri | yep, the status structure has not been initialized |

| 10:55:28 | JdGordon | TnadeN: rockbox uses wheterver directory sturcture u have on the ippd |
| 10:55:37 | JdGordon | so u can copy them straight across in exploerer |

| 11:36:39 | JdGordon | i 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? |
| 11:37:18 | JdGordon | TnadeN: ? to copy music to the ipod use explorer, it should come up as a usb hard disk, to listen use whatever u want.. |
| 11:37:28 | jhMikeS | safetydan: 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 |

| 12:55:51 | Slasheri | bluebrother: hi |
| 12:55:56 | orthogonal | answer |
| 12:56:03 | linuxstb | bluebrother: 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. |
| 12:56:04 | blackvd | my videos dont show up in rockbox? |
| 12:56:18 | orthogonal | blackvd: rb does not play videos |
| 12:56:20 | bluebrother | I think it would be better to warn before starting an "initialize now" on tagcache, as it can eat up lots of battery. |
| 12:56:27 | blackvd | whaaaaaaaaaaaaa? |
| 12:56:30 | orthogonal | however, videos in the filesystem will show up as files |
| 12:56:37 | blackvd | hm mine dont |
| 12:56:47 | Slasheri | bluebrother: hmm, you can abort that by shutting down the player |
| 12:56:50 | blackvd | this is crazy talk |
| 12:56:56 | blackvd | no video? |
| 12:56:57 | Slasheri | but warning might be good, because it will erase all tagcache files |
| 12:57:02 | orthogonal | linuxstb: I'll be glad to do that −− as soon as someione offers a bounty |
| 12:57:09 | blackvd | they've gone mad |
| 12:57:12 | bluebrother | linuxstb, I'm aware this would need major changes, but the way it's handled now is ... strange |
| 12:58:12 | bluebrother | Slasheri, 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) |
| 12:58:40 | blackvd | oh hey whats with the jblackglass theme does it work with the H320? |
| 12:59:04 | Slasheri | bluebrother: yes, true. Warning sounds good, especially because all runtimedb data will be erased when erasing the files |
| 12:59:10 | Slasheri | unless you export the data first manually |
| 12:59:26 | bluebrother | just happend to me unintentionally ... |
| 13:00 |
| 13:00:03 | bluebrother | for now it's not that important but its kinda nasty. And usual "users" will most probably start to whine about it. |
| 13:00:57 | Slasheri | i will try to add some kind of warning to it soon |
| 13:01:29 | bluebrother | thanks :) |
| 13:01:37 | Slasheri | :) |
| 13:02:02 | linuxstb | Slasheri: Why is the runtimedb data lost when you rebuild the tagcache db? |
| 13:02:15 | Slasheri | linuxstb: that data is stored in the tagcache db |
| 13:02:41 | Slasheri | it's just additional tags: playcount, playtime, lastplayed |
| 13:02:57 | Slasheri | but exporting/importing data manually will avoid that |
| 13:03:19 | orthogonal | people will want to save that crap even if the re-run tagcache buil |

| 13:04:13 | bluebrother | Slasheri, how are sid files handled in terms of tagcache? Do they get indexed too? |

| 13:05:46 | BockBilbo | good morning |
| 13:05:48 | BockBilbo | :) |
| 13:05:49 | | Part blackvd |
| 13:06:31 | bluebrother | maybe it would also be a nice feature to exclude file extensions from inclusion in tagcache. Like "don't index .sid files" |
| 13:06:42 | bluebrother | (assuming tagcache indexes sid) |
| 13:06:58 | BockBilbo | im making a script to get the album covers from the mp3 id tags so i can make the covers available to be seen on rockbox with the album cover patch |
| 13:07:01 | bluebrother | I had the sid collection on my player once, and tagcache ran like hours |
| 13:07:03 | Slasheri | yep, true. but that will be a problem with dircache too.. |
| 13:07:11 | Slasheri | if you have downloaded HVSC on your player |
| 13:07:26 | Slasheri | it can't index that many files |
| 13:07:31 | BockBilbo | can someone tell me if the album cover patch supports , for instance, bmp files of 100x90 files? |
| 13:07:36 | orthogonal | theytagcache is customizable, right? I can change All artsist to actually exclisude some artists? |
| 13:07:42 | bluebrother | it can't? Ok, maybe that was the cause. |
| 13:07:57 | BockBilbo | im asking this cause i want to know if its arbitrary to have square album covers |
| 13:08:17 | Slasheri | orthogonal: excluding ("not" operation) is not yet possible but will be in future |
| 13:08:40 | freqmod | i think sid files are indexed (in tagcache) if metadata is parsed ( in metadata.c ) |
| 13:08:41 | orthogonal | I do want to exclude podcasts from everything |
| 13:08:42 | k8to | Slasheri: are you willing to briefly outline the limitation on the file indexing counts, ie. the cause? |
| 13:09:01 | k8to | (just curiosity) |
| 13:09:04 | Slasheri | k8to: it's purely a memory limit |
| 13:09:06 | * | orthogonal feels bad for Slasheri |
| 13:09:29 | k8to | Slasheri: some per file structure exists in memory, and the player or overall table is exhausted? |
| 13:09:56 | bluebrother | Slasheri, 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) |
| 13:10:30 | Slasheri | k8to: 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 |
| 13:10:43 | Slasheri | hmm, maybe i will try and find out how much it really takes memory.. |
| 13:11:16 | Slasheri | bluebrother: yes, sure. but that syntax is not yet ready :) |
| 13:11:16 | k8to | i am surprised a dircache is necessary |
| 13:11:25 | k8to | at least for flash devices |

| 13:12:10 | mordov | heolle :) is the tagchase suposed to be working on a fully loaded h120? |
| 13:12:46 | bluebrother | mordov, I think so. At least I had it working on a pretty loaded h120 before. |
| 13:13:45 | BockBilbo | Slasheri, do you know if the abum art patch supports files which are not true squares? |
| 13:13:52 | mordov | It worked with the tag DB and I have had some small moments where it is able to find 1% of my files in tagnavi but I just vant make it work properly.... |
| 13:14:18 | orthogonal | BockBilbo: that';s not Slasheri's thing |
| 13:14:47 | BockBilbo | orthogonal, Im just asking if he knows about it |
| 13:15:02 | k8to | Slasheri: thanks |
| 13:15:07 | bluebrother | mordov, do you have enough space on the disk to actually store the database files? |
| 13:16:00 | orthogonal | BockBilbo: yeah, ok. But Slasheri is being very kind rto answer a raft of questions about what he does work on, and asking about patches is −− iot's not something teh offical devs are supposed to support |
| 13:16:05 | mordov | good question :) |
| 13:16:16 | mordov | how big can it be? |
| 13:16:28 | BockBilbo | orthogonal, i know that |

| 13:18:36 | orthogonal | mordov: NMMY GOD, YOU TYPE EVEN WORSE THAN ME. i DID not think that possible |

| 13:19:18 | orthogonal | oh, of you're gwerman, it'sd ok |
| 13:19:26 | k8to | a kilobyte per file seems a bit large. I wonder if you had more at some other point or whatever |
| 13:19:36 | linuxstb | BockBilbo: It's simply that (afaik) none of the "official" developers have used the album art patch, so we don't know the details of how it works... |
| 13:19:40 | mordov | hah norwegian,,, just have to use the only german word I learned at school |
| 13:19:47 | bluebrother | mordov, I'd suggest ensuring you have about 10 MiB free and rebuild the database ... then reboot rockbox. |

| 13:25:03 | BockBilbo | Slasheri, sorry for asking you about that, I didnt mean to bother you. |
| 13:25:08 | k8to | is it possibly building the cache at this time? |
| 13:25:13 | k8to | ^mordov |
| 13:25:23 | mordov | nope,,, grey light |
| 13:25:45 | mordov | but I gues it because it hangs or turns it selfe of i I do initialize tagchace |
| 13:26:18 | freqmod | is it possible to restastart rockbox... (to commit the tagcache) |
| 13:27:00 | mordov | think If I*m able to get the tagchce files made I'll nevver tutch initialize |

| 13:36:29 | dumbkid | im using the rockbox simulator to "debug" my hacks, |
| 13:36:29 | dumbkid | is there a possibility to write some debugmessages to a logfile or something like that (something like echo ;)) |

| 14:26:50 | yip | linuxstb_: what is a dev environment? |
| 14:26:56 | dumbkid_ | so it deletes it? |
| 14:27:02 | Slasheri | dumbkid_: "update now" only adds or removes entries from the database and "initialize now" re-creates everything (including removal of the runtimedb data) |

| 14:47:22 | dumbkid_ | is it possible that the error is due to a misstake in the tagcache.c (i changed it) |
| 14:48:29 | Landus | : ( |
| 14:48:46 | k8to | without knowing much of anything about rockbox, i would move that .o and try building again |
| 14:48:48 | Landus | I just woke up and someone was logged on to my VNC server. |
| 14:48:59 | k8to | Landus: whoops |
| 14:49:10 | Landus | As far as I can tell, nothing serious was done. |
| 14:49:29 | Landus | See, I woke up, saw My Computer and the Windows calculator open. |
| 14:49:31 | Landus | I closed then. |
| 14:49:37 | Landus | Half a minute later, they opened back up. |
| 14:49:57 | Landus | It hit me that the only way that could be happening was someone on the VNC server. |
| 14:50:00 | k8to | perhaps you should set some kind of passwording on it? or firewall to restrict access or both |
| 14:50:09 | Landus | There is. |
| 14:50:24 | Landus | Twenty character password. |
| 14:50:27 | Landus | Letter's and numbers. |
| 14:50:31 | Landus | Letters, rather. |
| 14:50:44 | k8to | are you sure that this password is always required and that there is not another mode? |
| 14:51:09 | Landus | Yes. |
| 14:51:26 | Landus | The only two was of accessing it are using a viewer or going to my computers IP address. |
| 14:51:28 | dumbkid_ | exploit? |
| 14:51:31 | Landus | The latter gets a java viewer. |
| 14:51:46 | Landus | Doubt it. |
| 14:51:47 | Landus | RealVNC. |
| 14:51:51 | k8to | given your certainty in the face of uncertainty i can advise you to become less certain |
| 14:51:56 | dumbkid_ | i own it too xD |
| 14:52:01 | dumbkid_ | but its not running |
| 14:52:12 | k8to | also: consider restricting the addresses which may connect |
| 14:52:16 | Landus | I can't. |
| 14:52:17 | k8to | or running it only on demand |
| 14:52:28 | dumbkid_ | maybe your password is bad chosen / easy to crack |
| 14:52:29 | Landus | Because I'll connect from so many different ones. |
| 14:52:33 | dumbkid_ | what is your password ? |
| 14:52:34 | Landus | It isn't. |
| 14:52:36 | Landus | Not telling. |
| 14:52:36 | * | dumbkid_ ;) |
| 14:52:44 | linuxstb | dumbkid_: 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". |
| 14:52:52 | k8to | Landus: so ssh in and add access from the IP address you are using |
| 14:53:04 | Landus | I don't have an SSH server running. |
| 14:53:05 | Landus | : ( |
| 14:53:09 | Landus | Is there one on Freshmeat? |
| 14:53:21 | k8to | i am certain that you can run an ssh server on windows |
| 14:53:30 | Landus | You can. I've done it before. |
| 14:53:40 | Landus | It just like running in DOS. |
| 14:53:41 | linuxstb | At the very least, you can run openssh in Cygwin. |
| 14:53:58 | Landus | It'd be buggy as hell. |
| 14:54:19 | k8to | take charge of your own security or suffer the consequences |
| 14:54:23 | dumbkid_ | made a make clean |
| 14:54:28 | Landus | And being able to access the folder with the IP list is wouldn't be possible without a crapload of changes. |
| 14:54:29 | Landus | I did. |
| 14:54:51 | dumbkid_ | and a configure -> devel -> l(ogf) and s(imulator) |
| 14:54:54 | k8to | yes you have suffered the consequences |

| 14:56:07 | Landus | I'll know if they are. |
| 14:56:13 | k8to | you might |
| 14:56:23 | Landus | The server icon in the taskbar inverts the color if someone is connected. |
| 14:56:34 | k8to | that's foolproof! |
| 14:56:36 | Landus | There's only one place I've logged into my server that has the ability to log keystrokes. |

| 14:57:24 | k8to | your approach offers no security against people viewing your desktop when you're not looking at it |

| 14:58:01 | Landus | No ones not really asking for help at the moment either. |
| 14:58:14 | obo | Landus: there is a bug/feature/restriction with a lot of VNC servers where it only checks the first 8 characters of passwords |
| 14:58:34 | Landus | I'm using my NT login password. |
| 14:58:39 | k8to | obo: is this the age-old lousy crypt algorithm problem? |
| 14:58:49 | Landus | Which is 20 characters. |
| 14:58:56 | Landus | And the eight charater bug doesn't work. |
| 14:58:58 | Landus | I tred it. |
| 14:59:16 | obo | fair enough |
| 14:59:17 | Landus | Oh yay. |
| 14:59:19 | dumbkid_ | good to know |
| 14:59:33 | Landus | "Prompt local user to accept incoming connections." |
| 14:59:40 | dumbkid_ | ^^ |
| 14:59:53 | k8to | that isn't going to be very useful when you're somewhere else |
| 14:59:54 | dumbkid_ | well |
| 15:00 |
| 15:00:15 | Landus | I'll switch everything back when I leave the house, change my password, and lock the desktop. |
| 15:00:17 | dumbkid_ | the connection isnt established until you accept it |
| 15:00:31 | k8to | what a pain |
| 15:00:39 | k8to | if it were me, I'd forget half the time |
| 15:00:43 | dumbkid_ | maybe a trojan/rootkit...? |
| 15:00:46 | Landus | I don't. |
| 15:01:00 | k8to | yeah you really have no guarantee your machine isn't owned at this point |
| 15:01:08 | k8to | but hopefully it isn't! |
| 15:01:09 | Landus | There is. |
| 15:01:59 | k8to | the only way you can detect a machine ownage in a guaranteed way is to extensively analyze the traffic from outside the machine |
| 15:02:08 | k8to | but even then, the ownage might be waiting to activate |
| 15:02:57 | k8to | depending upon how you use your machine, that might not matter |
| 15:03:04 | dumbkid_ | http://www.milw0rm.com/search.php?dong=RealVNC |
| 15:03:40 | Landus | k8to: And if any changes done over VNC are logged? |

| 15:03:48 | k8to | uh |
| 15:03:53 | k8to | the log is editable |
| 15:04:08 | dumbkid_ | youre paranoid xD |
| 15:04:12 | Landus | True, but no one knows it exists. |
| 15:04:17 | k8to | ?? |
| 15:04:22 | Landus | Save for me and everyone else in this channel now. |
| 15:04:26 | k8to | dumbkid_: it's basic security |
| 15:04:39 | k8to | they're logged via a VNC feature or an OS feature? |
| 15:04:55 | k8to | surely both are widely known |
| 15:05:05 | Landus | Search google for it. |
| 15:05:08 | k8to | unless you've deployed your own custom logging solution |
| 15:05:23 | Landus | Either way, the only thing that was happening was My Computer and Calculator being opened up. |
| 15:05:27 | dumbkid_ | [Saturday 15:02:39] k8to: the only way you can detect a machine ownage in a guaranteed way is to extensively analyze the traffic from outside the machine |

| 15:05:27 | dumbkid_ | [Saturday 15:03:37] k8to: depending upon how you use your machine, that might not matter |
| 15:05:31 | dumbkid_ | ^^ this isnt paranoia? |
| 15:05:37 | k8to | dumbkid_: no |
| 15:05:41 | Landus | There wasn't anything on the calculator. |
| 15:05:45 | k8to | dumbkid_: it's like "how do i get rid of a computer virus" |
| 15:05:50 | Landus | Nothing wasy happwning with My Computer. |
| 15:05:55 | k8to | dionoea: you analyse the system externally |
| 15:06:00 | k8to | whoah, mistab |
| 15:06:14 | k8to | dumbkid_: if you don't analyze it externally you can't guarantee any intrusion is removed |
| 15:06:24 | k8to | dumbkid_: that's factual, not paranoid |
| 15:06:46 | dumbkid_ | k8to, it would be reasonable if he had critical data on his pc, |
| 15:06:46 | dumbkid_ | and a hacker would try to attempt |
| 15:06:55 | DoubleThink2 | ahmm.... how does the ipod partition with the firmware work.... is it mountable? are there files on it or does it work somehow else? |
| 15:06:56 | k8to | you cannot analyaze a compromised system using the compromised system and be able to trust the results |
| 15:07:04 | Landus | First, the term hacker is incorrect. |
| 15:07:04 | k8to | that is all |
| 15:07:17 | Landus | Second, the only critical data would by system files. |
| 15:07:20 | dumbkid_ | but in most cases attacks (on private pcs) come from scriptk., (i think) |
| 15:07:20 | k8to | most likely, his intruder didn't do anything |
| 15:07:22 | dumbkid_ | cracker |
| 15:07:22 | k8to | but |
| 15:07:22 | dumbkid_ | sry |
| 15:07:25 | k8to | whatever |
| 15:07:26 | Landus | I've checked. Nothing has been changed. |
| 15:07:39 | k8to | so they were not terribly naughty |
| 15:07:42 | k8to | or really good |
| 15:07:43 | dumbkid_ | how did u check? |
| 15:08:05 | Landus | First, nothing in the log noted any file changes. |
| 15:08:18 | Landus | But, it could be modified. |
| 15:08:29 | Landus | I had all the system files and DLL's sorted by date. |
| 15:08:30 | dumbkid_ | i heard about a hacker who replaces the windows distribution by a linux with root controll and then fakes the windows system ;) |
| 15:08:39 | dumbkid_ | date is fakeable ;) |
| 15:08:49 | k8to | yeah everything can be faked but |
| 15:08:49 | Landus | Only the ones that are changed on a daily basis were modified today. |
| 15:08:53 | k8to | most likely nothing happened |
| 15:08:59 | Landus | No one is going to fake every bloody DLL. |
| 15:09:08 | Landus | It'd be pointless. |
| 15:09:09 | dumbkid_ | ^^ |
| 15:09:10 | k8to | they can restore the dates |
| 15:09:17 | k8to | and hide the added files |
| 15:09:18 | k8to | etc |
| 15:09:23 | k8to | it's not rocket science! |
| 15:09:29 | Landus | I mean, if it was the NSA doing this, yeah, sure, they'd be able to break the encryption. |
| 15:09:30 | k8to | (that's when you blast things into space) |
| 15:09:46 | k8to | there is no encryption |
| 15:09:55 | dumbkid_ | maybe u forgot to close the calc this night because you were too tired :P? |

| 15:11:35 | obo | no, it's not mountable |
| 15:12:10 | DoubleThink2 | any way to see what's on it in a comprehendable format? |
| 15:12:16 | k8to | is it not really a filesystem at all, or a special filesystem? |
| 15:12:36 | linuxstb | There's nothing to see - it just contains a short header followed by a firmware image (or multiple images) |
| 15:12:58 | linuxstb | Some documentation about it is here: http://ipodlinux.org/Firmware |
| 15:13:15 | DoubleThink2 | yeah I was on that page |
| 15:13:18 | DoubleThink2 | which got me wondering |
| 15:13:44 | linuxstb | Or 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. |
| 15:14:37 | DoubleThink2 | yeah I can read C... suppose I'll check that out |

| 15:43:09 | rasher | logf() |
| 15:43:12 | linuxstb | Then I would use the sim with DEBUGF |
| 15:43:44 | rasher | don't listen to me |
| 15:43:50 | theprodukkt | is there a difference between debugf and logf? |
| 15:44:06 | rasher | I think logf acts like DEBUGF in the sim or something like that? |
| 15:44:28 | linuxstb | In the sim, DEBUGF writes to the console. I'm not sure about logf's behaviour in the sim... |
| 15:44:59 | theprodukkt | logf writes to the remote window |

| 15:51:50 | DoubleThink2 | damn... that's a lot of assembly code O_O |
| 15:52:20 | linuxstb | DoubleThink2: The problem with arm-elf-objdump is that it's not all assembly code... apple_os.bin will contain lots of data (variables, bitmaps, fonts, strings etc) |
| 15:53:12 | DoubleThink2 | so it's not possible to compile it back after modifying it? |
| 15:53:32 | linuxstb | No. |
| 15:54:04 | DoubleThink2 | hmm =( |

| 16:10:17 | JdGordon | no, u just call check_if_empty(pch); |
| 16:10:37 | JdGordon | or you can just do if (!*cph)) which is the same |
| 16:10:55 | dumbkid | so what does the * do? |
| 16:11:23 | linuxstb | It de-references the pointer. i.e. it will return the first character in the string. |

| 16:42:49 | linuxstb_ | rasher: No, I'm not against it. Although it would possibly be better to find a more flexible generator to use. You could add a submenu to the "Generate" entry with "Random Difficulty", "Easy", "Medium", "Hard". |

| 16:45:49 | dumbkid | do u know a function with deletes the spaces (" ") at beginning and end from a string? |
| 16:46:01 | JdGordon | shouldnt 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? |

| 16:47:33 | JdGordon | dumbkid: you can write one fairly easily.. |

| 16:49:27 | JdGordon | hehe |
| 16:49:34 | JdGordon | one min.. |
| 16:49:36 | Febs | linuxstb, 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. |
| 16:50:18 | dumbkid | do u know a good site which gives introducton to strings in c? |
| 16:50:56 | linuxstb_ | dan_a: Using the stack means extra memory accesses, which are slow. The aim is to just use the banked FIQ registers. |
| 16:51:38 | linuxstb_ | 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. |

| 16:55:36 | linuxstb_ | 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. |

| 17:01:56 | k8to | dumbkid: strings are a bit of a special case |
| 17:02:23 | k8to | dumbkid: a string literal evalutes as a pointer to the string location |
| 17:02:29 | bluebrother | dumbkid, 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. |
| 17:02:42 | S0ap | Late 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. |
| 17:02:52 | dumbkid | i have a pointer |
| 17:02:55 | dumbkid | to a string |
| 17:03:03 | bluebrother | linuxstb_, unfortunately no (not yet) |
| 17:03:18 | k8to | S0ap: yeah it's a decent point, although a botnet add script probably isn't going to poke around opening copies of calculator |
| 17:03:22 | dumbkid | and i need: |
| 17:03:22 | dumbkid | newstring=string_whos_pointer_i_have + ")"; |
| 17:03:55 | bluebrother | maybe strcat helps ... |
| 17:03:55 | k8to | S0ap: I wouldn't really doubt his machine could have been independently owned, although it's possible no one logged in and he just forgot he left it open |

| 17:04:29 | linuxstb_ | dumbkid: That's not always easy in C because you have to manage the memory yourself. |
| 17:05:26 | bluebrother | dumbkid, maybe it helps if you try thinking of string as what they are in memory −− an array of char. |
| 17:05:34 | linuxstb_ | 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. |
| 17:06:09 | k8to | i assume the rockbox environment is mmuless? |
| 17:06:23 | linuxstb_ | Yes, and malloc-less (in general) |
| 17:06:23 | k8to | so realloc etc is not so smart |
| 17:06:26 | k8to | oh |
| 17:06:27 | k8to | neat |
| 17:06:38 | rasher | linuxstb_: I have the submenu working now, but with a warning I have no idea about, want me to put a patch somewhere? |
| 17:07:24 | linuxstb_ | 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). |
| 17:07:32 | k8to | well then i would say that the rockbox environment is not a very friendly environment for learning C |
| 17:07:38 | linuxstb_ | rasher: Sure. Or just pastebin the warning. |
| 17:07:45 | rasher | http://rasher.dk/rockbox/sudoku.patch <−− if anyone would have a look at this and explain "warning: passing arg 2 of `sudoku_generate' discards qualifiers from pointer target type" |
| 17:07:58 | k8to | linuxstb_: 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) |
| 17:08:20 | rasher | I guess it's because my understanding of arrays is close to nonexistant |
| 17:08:20 | linuxstb_ | k8to: Everything is static, with a few things allocated at boot-time. |

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

| 17:35:47 | k8to | dumbkid: which is why i used strncat |
| 17:36:04 | dumbkid | so srtcat could make a buffer overflow? |
| 17:36:10 | k8to | yes |
| 17:36:17 | _FireFly_ | isn't the length of track.id3.artist fixed sized ? |
| 17:36:31 | bluebrother | _FireFly_, no, only in id3v1 |
| 17:36:39 | k8to | it's possible to strcat safely if you do the same length checks that strncat does, but .. why not just use strncat |
| 17:36:57 | _FireFly_ | bluebrother: i mean in rockbox |
| 17:37:00 | BockBilbo | hello |
| 17:37:16 | bluebrother | ah, this I'm not aware of ... |

| 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 |
| 17:41:33 | bluebrother | I'm not sure how the metadata gets buffered. If it's just extracted from the audio buffer I don't see a reason why there should be a fixed lenght restriction. |

| 17:43:52 | dumbkid | found it |
| 17:43:54 | dumbkid | playback.h |
| 17:44:09 | bluebrother | when speaking of tags ... I think we should rename the "ID3 Info" to something more generic ... like "Metadata". |
| 17:44:23 | rasher | Bagder: any idea why rockboxdev.sh creates a 'gcc' executable (as opposed to $ARCH-gcc)? Didn't happen when I built them manually |
| 17:44:31 | rasher | bluebrother: I already did this (iirc) in the Danish translation |
| 17:44:43 | Bagder | rasher: does it? no idea why... |
| 17:44:51 | Bagder | bbl |
| 17:45:18 | bluebrother | I vote for changing this in all languages ;-) |
| 17:45:20 | dumbkid | where is struct mp3entry declared? |
| 17:45:23 | rasher | Burnt me today as those dirs ended up first in my path, so `which gcc` pointed to what was in fact sh-elf-gcc |
| 17:45:32 | rasher | dumbkid: firmware/export/id3.h |
| 17:46:14 | rasher | bluebrother: definately, as well as "ID3 Database" |
| 17:46:36 | rasher | (didn't change that though, for some reason) |
| 17:46:40 | linuxstb_ | Maybe just "Tag Info", rather than "Metadata". |
| 17:46:55 | bluebrother | linuxstb_, I agree with this. |
| 17:46:59 | rasher | Song info |
| 17:47:03 | rasher | "what's a tag?" |
| 17:47:25 | linuxstb_ | I've never heard anyone say "what's a tag", but people have said "what is metadata" |
| 17:47:44 | bluebrother | hmm. With social networks and them usually using tags I assume most people will understand the word "tag". |
| 17:47:45 | rasher | nevermind me |
| 17:48:01 | rasher | Most people don't use social networks |
| 17:48:40 | linuxstb_ | Also, "Song info" wouldn't work if the track wasn't a song... |
| 17:48:51 | rasher | Yeah, I was about to say that |
| 17:48:54 | rasher | in fact. |
| 17:48:55 | bluebrother | are they still that uncommon? But I also think the word "tag" implies additional information (like a tag on my luggage when travelling) |
| 17:49:17 | rasher | Yeah, my objection to "tag" is probably related to not being a native speaker |
| 17:49:19 | linuxstb_ | We already use "tag" for tagcache, so it would be consistent in that respect. |
| 17:49:35 | bluebrother | true. |
| 17:49:38 | linuxstb_ | (even though tagcache itself is perhaps a little cryptic) |

| 17:52:20 | dumbkid | or am i wrong? |

| 17:53:37 | DoubleThink2 | hey I have a bit of a pointless question... (once again)... |
| 17:53:48 | DoubleThink2 | Hey instead of attaching Loader 2 to the firmware.... is it possible to make it boot Loader 2 without doing that |
| 17:53:57 | DoubleThink2 | by dding the loader straight to sda1 |
| 17:53:57 | dumbkid | strncat appends... to the END of the string dest |
| 17:53:57 | DoubleThink2 | ? |
| 17:54:09 | DoubleThink2 | or... 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 |
| 17:56:07 | dumbkid | ^^ exactly thats what i wanted 2 say |
| 17:56:07 | linuxstb_ | 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. |
| 17:57:13 | DoubleThink2 | does setting up everything to compile it take ages? |
| 17:57:20 | linuxstb_ | 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? |
| 17:57:46 | DoubleThink2 | because you can make Loader 2 boot the firmware straight from a file |
| 17:57:49 | linuxstb_ | DoubleThink2: If you're in Linux, you should already have gcc installed. |
| 17:57:51 | DoubleThink2 | Loader 2.3 anyway |
| 17:58:04 | DoubleThink2 | it's just gcc...? |
| 17:58:27 | DoubleThink2 | because I am setting up everything to compile podzilla and iPL stuff... and it's taking a while |
| 17:58:28 | _FireFly_ | linuxstb_: not really if he uses a binary distri |
| 17:58:29 | linuxstb_ | "scramble.c" is just a tool to run on your PC, so yes, it needs a normal gcc. |
| 17:59:04 | DoubleThink2 | oh |
| 17:59:18 | linuxstb_ | _FireFly_: I can't imagine any Linux user not have gcc installed. Not everything will be available in your distro. |
| 17:59:35 | DoubleThink2 | yeah 'course I have gcc |

| 18:42:17 | linuxstb_ | DoubleThink2: Yes, that's because a copy of the apple firmware is no longer being loaded into memory with the bootloader. |
| 18:42:51 | linuxstb_ | What happens if you try and load the apple firmware? Does it just crash? |
| 18:43:17 | linuxstb_ | dumbkid: Something like 256. |
| 18:44:04 | DoubleThink2 | it 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 |
| 18:44:46 | DoubleThink2 | and 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). |
| 18:45:01 | freqmod | it seems like it loades itself |
| 18:45:27 | DoubleThink2 | yeah that's what I thought |
| 18:45:30 | linuxstb_ | DoubleThink2: How did you create the "apple_os.bin" file? |
| 18:45:37 | DoubleThink2 | it is the file you sent me |

| 18:45:43 | DoubleThink2 | the extracted firmware |
| 18:45:49 | DoubleThink2 | renamed to that |
| 18:46:18 | linuxstb_ | 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. |
| 18:46:45 | DoubleThink2 | oh >.> ... I am an idiot then |

| 18:54:13 | linuxstb_ | 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. |
| 18:54:52 | freqmod | do i need the rsrcfile for using the apple firmware with ipodloader2 |
| 18:54:54 | freqmod | ? |

| 19:23:55 | Paul_The_Nerd | In fact, they said it could "EASILY be ported to Rockbox" |

| 19:28:05 | bluebrother | dumbkid, you can't. |
| 19:28:21 | bluebrother | you can do so for dynamically allocated space (malloc) with free. |
| 19:28:41 | Paul_The_Nerd | It runs XVid nicely at 320*240 on my phone, so I figured it's probably at least fairly fast. |
| 19:29:16 | dumbkid | but i need to declare a pointer which i need only for line, which steals the ram of my iriver then all the time? |
| 19:29:59 | linuxstb_ | Ouch, it's using libFLAC for FLAC instead of ffmpeg... |
| 19:30:29 | bluebrother | just don't declare it globally. When it becomes invalid by leaving the function it can be used otherwise (by the compiler) |

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

| 19:37:10 | dumbkid | this should work, shouldnt it? |
| 19:37:36 | linuxstb_ | 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) |
| 19:38:11 | Paul_The_Nerd | linuxstb_: That's the one I've got too. He said they're releasing it as "BetaPlayer" in a month or two. |

| 19:38:26 | dumbkid | it would cut of 1 char to much |

| 19:39:26 | linuxstb_ | Although there seems to be a nice mpeg1 video decoder there... |
| 19:39:30 | bluebrother | yes, it's the same as above. After the last while loop you point to the first character that isn't a space. |

| 20:03:15 | Paul_The_Nerd | Either way, TCPMP plays my videos just fine on my phone, and for Rockbox it's mostly the codecs that are of interest. |
| 20:03:38 | Paul_The_Nerd | So, whether they support it or not, it's GPL code that may provide a decent starting point. |
| 20:03:57 | beoba | hi, i was getting this yesterday, and was told that the ipod needs to have the pc-style partition table rather than the apple-style one, is this resolvable via, say, fdisk?: http://pastebin.ca/95771 |
| 20:04:13 | ShyK | yes, perhaps. though from their history i'd expect you'd have many problems. but i realize there isn't much else available |
| 20:04:30 | obo | beoba: http://www.rockbox.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/IpodInstallationFromMacOSX |
| 20:05:07 | obo | see the section about converting to FAT32? |
| 20:05:17 | linuxstb_ | beoba: You'll need to fully convert your ipod to FAT32 in order to use Rockbox. |
| 20:05:22 | beoba | yeah, didnt see it yesterday |
| 20:05:23 | carini | Any devs around that would be willing to check out a very small patch? |
| 20:05:37 | beoba | i skimmed over that sentence and assumed you just meant reformatting the existing partitions |
| 20:05:42 | beoba | rather than changing the partition tables as a whole |
| 20:05:50 | beoba | i see it as of now, though, thanks |

| 20:12:11 | linuxstb_ | You mean their GPL code? |
| 20:12:49 | ShyK | yes |
| 20:14:53 | linuxstb_ | 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 |
| 20:15:26 | linuxstb_ | So it doesn't seem that interesting - apart from an MPEG-1 codec they seem to have written themselves. |
| 20:15:59 | dumbkid | when i want to use diff the oldfile and the newfile have to have the same name, dont they? |
| 20:18:38 | linuxstb_ | No - the names can be the same. |
| 20:18:52 | linuxstb_ | (assuming they are in different directories) |
| 20:20:21 | ShyK | linuxstb_: i would bet the libavcodec mpeg-1 decoder is much better |
| 20:20:23 | dumbkid | but wont patch search for the renamed file then to patch it? |
| 20:22:41 | linuxstb_ | ShyK: Yes, but it's a nightmare to extract from ffmpeg |
| 20:23:20 | linuxstb_ | But maybe we should just port ffmpeg as a whole... |
| 20:23:40 | Paul_The_Nerd | That might be a good idea. |
| 20:23:49 | Paul_The_Nerd | We seem to enjoy a lot of their code already. |
| 20:23:58 | ShyK | i'd say yes. no other alternative exists that is fully featured except ffmpeg |

| 20:54:39 | dumbkid | ok, dlls :) |
| 20:54:49 | k8to_ | no |
| 20:54:53 | dumbkid | ? |
| 20:54:54 | k8to_ | although similar |
| 20:55:27 | k8to_ | a series of .o files can be combined into a .exe, or a .so/.dll |
| 20:55:37 | k8to_ | depending upon how they are linked, and the intended purpose |
| 20:55:48 | k8to_ | 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) |
| 20:56:53 | k8to_ | in C, each file is compiled seperately, and then the results of those seperate compilation steps are joined together |
| 20:57:04 | k8to_ | so, the .o is the result of the individual file compilations |
| 20:59:10 | dumbkid | whats the difference beetween a static library and a dynamic |
| 20:59:12 | dumbkid | ? |
| 20:59:46 | Ribs | a static program has all the libraries it needs built into it |
| 20:59:55 | Ribs | a dynamic one loads up the external libraries as required. |
| 20:59:58 | k8to_ | dumbkid: so, first we just have .o files |
| 21:00 |
| 21:00:07 | k8to_ | dumbkid: and we can link these into a program |
| 21:00:30 | k8to_ | 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 |
| 21:00:40 | linuxstb_ | A static library is linked to the application at compile-time. A dynamic library is linked at run-time. |
| 21:01:33 | k8to_ | 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 |
| 21:02:02 | DoubleThink2 | linuxstb.... using the loader as the only thing on sda1 is not possible without scrambler yet? |
| 21:02:42 | k8to_ | 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 |
| 21:03:11 | k8to_ | a static library is basically a zip or tar file for .os |
| 21:03:21 | k8to_ | it only matters when building the software |
| 21:03:35 | k8to_ | dynamic libraries are nice because the memory is shared, and they can be upgraded without recompiling |
| 21:03:39 | k8to_ | the end |
| 21:03:41 | linuxstb_ | DoubleThink2: Maybe IPL have tools for it, but I've not been following the loader2 development very closely. |
| 21:04:02 | dumbkid | is there the possibility to already link a dll during compiletime, so that the client dont need that file? |
| 21:04:06 | DoubleThink2 | nuh I couldn't find anything on iPL |
| 21:04:20 | DoubleThink2 | and doing it this way seems to make it hang up |
| 21:04:22 | k8to_ | 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 |
| 21:05:05 | linuxstb_ | DoubleThink2: Does loader2 work reliably if it's loaded in the traditional way (i.e. using make_fw/ipod_fw) ? |
| 21:05:09 | k8to_ | 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 |
| 21:05:22 | k8to_ | dumbkid: i mean, you could build the program that way |
| 21:05:23 | mordov | bugg report: my tagcahce somtimes hang on uppdate and when I reset my H120 the tagchace is gone all the files are deleted. |
| 21:05:37 | k8to_ | dumbkid: there's very little advantage to this, so it is not typically done |
| 21:05:52 | DoubleThink2 | linuxstf_: yeah it works fine that way |

| 23:05:19 | obo | dan_a: what did you do to get it working? |
| 23:05:58 | dan_a | obo: I compliled libmad with -O instead of -O2, and I'm running the CPU at 90MHz |
| 23:06:20 | dionoea | isn't -02 supposed to be better ? |
| 23:06:30 | obo | what's the boost ratio at? and is it getting toasty warm? |
| 23:06:32 | dan_a | dionoea: In theory |
| 23:06:39 | sidolin | it doesnt have to be better |

| 23:08:14 | dan_a | It doesn't feel too hot, but I've set up frequency scaling so it drops back to 30MHz when playing is paused |
| 23:08:26 | dionoea | you're doing that for the 3g ipods right ? |
| 23:08:37 | dan_a | dionoea: yes |
| 23:09:13 | dionoea | does apple also use the CPU to do the decoding ? or do they use another chip which nobody knows how to use ? |
| 23:09:26 | _FireFly_ | afaik some codecs aren't yet optimized for ARM CPUs (used in ipods) |
| 23:11:45 | Bagder | they have two cpus |
| 23:11:51 | Bagder | or cores at least |
| 23:11:59 | Bagder | and Rockbox only uses one of them |
| 23:12:10 | _FireFly_ | at the moment |
| 23:12:29 | Bagder | right |
| 23:12:33 | dionoea | two arm cpus ? |
| 23:12:40 | Bagder | but it explains how the apple version gets the extra power |
| 23:12:44 | Bagder | two cores |
| 23:13:18 | | Join TucknDar [0] (n=Miranda@062016145077.customer.alfanett.no) |
| 23:13:38 | dionoea | so you'll have to implement thread/mutex stuff in rockbox core i guess |
| 23:14:04 | Bagder | not necessarily |
| 23:14:21 | Bagder | or I mean, we already do to some extent |
| 23:14:50 | Bagder | and we could still make an effort to keep things apart once we start using both cores |
| 23:15:04 | _FireFly_ | afaik some synchronization is needed when more then one core is used |
| 23:15:11 | Bagder | sure |
| 23:15:21 | dionoea | like 1 core for the audio decoding thread and 1 for the other threads ? |
| 23:15:29 | _FireFly_ | yepp for example |
| 23:15:30 | Bagder | something like that, yes |
| 23:15:35 | dan_a | I've seem a few chats about how to use both cores - has there been any decision? |

| 23:15:47 | dionoea | do all of the ipods have the 2 cores ? |

| 23:15:55 | dan_a | dionoea: yes |
| 23:16:15 | Bagder | all portalplayer based players even |
| 23:16:16 | dionoea | but i guess that this alone wont help with the 3g software codecs |
| 23:16:42 | _FireFly_ | plus optimized codecs |
| 23:16:59 | _FireFly_ | would gaine enought power to have the decoding faster then realtime on ipods |
| 23:18:42 | dionoea | both cores are always powered ? or can you shut one off ? |
| 23:18:54 | _FireFly_ | currently the second core is on sleep |
| 23:19:01 | _FireFly_ | to reduce power consumption |
| 23:19:36 | dionoea | ok, so that doesn't explain why battery life is lower than on original firmware ? some other chip eating more power than it should ? |
| 23:19:42 | | Part blackvd |
| 23:19:54 | _FireFly_ | could be |
| 23:20:17 | dan_a | As I understand, there's a lot that we don't know about the ipod, like how to use the USB |
| 23:20:33 | dan_a | So at a guess things like that might be left switched on |

| 23:24:33 | PaulJam | sidolin: if you still have problems with the plugins: it sounds as if you have only copied the rockbox.ipod of the patched build on your player, you propably need to replace the .rockbox folder too. |
| 23:25:02 | sidolin | i did |

| 23:28:54 | scottder | I think plugins are built against the kernel...so if they don't match, the plugins won;t work |
| 23:29:01 | scottder | someone correct me if I am wrong |
| 23:29:27 | sidolin | i think so |
| 23:29:54 | XavierGr | Bagder:Are you back from your vacations? |
| 23:30:07 | Bagder | somewhat |
| 23:30:13 | XavierGr | I hope that you had a good time! :D |
| 23:30:36 | _FireFly_ | scottder: you can use plugins from a other build if the plguin api doesn't differ between these two builds |
| 23:30:36 | XavierGr | Where did you go, if I may ask? |
| 23:31:23 | Bagder | nowhere special really, just to the south of Sweden where my parents live |
| 23:31:44 | sidolin | the problem is that jblackglass needs its own kernel or the text wont match the wallpaper |
| 23:31:46 | _FireFly_ | there is a plugin api version number which gets check on plugin load, and this number gets incremented when the plugin-api has changed |
| 23:32:07 | _FireFly_ | sidolin: in which case ? |
| 23:32:23 | XavierGr | Bagder: Ah, I got what you mean. I do this all the time. |
| 23:32:24 | sidolin | _FireFly_: i just want jblackglass and plugins running |
| 23:32:49 | _FireFly_ | sidolin: how does the text don't match the wallpaper |
| 23:33:00 | sidolin | its on the wrong place |
| 23:33:37 | * | freqmod has implemented real rsrc support for scramble.c (iPod video), will post patch soon (TODO: a bit fixing & testing) |
| 23:33:38 | scorche | reading logbot's view of things can be...interesting... |
| 23:33:41 | scorche | "DBUG Enqueued KICK scorche" |
| 23:35:17 | sidolin | and with the jblackglass kernel the text is right but the plugins dont start |
| 23:38:48 | _FireFly_ | sidolin: no wonder his builds are a bit out of date on his side |
| 23:39:00 | sidolin | i know |
| 23:39:18 | sidolin | but i dont really want to use old plugins |
| 23:39:41 | sidolin | and i think crosscompiling and applying these patches isnt so easy |
| 23:39:57 | sidolin | especially 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 |
| 23:40:51 | sidolin | ok, 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_ | :) |
| 23:41:35 | sidolin | NOTE: This guide is for Windows users only! :/ |
| 23:42:07 | PaulJam | i guess at least the scrolling margins patch will neet some work to apply cleanly, some recent cahnges broke it. |
| 23:42:18 | sidolin | hmm |
| 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 |
| 23:44:52 | linuxstb | freqmod: I'll look forward to the patch... So I assume loader2 can load the apple firmware from the FAT32 partition? |
| 23:45:33 | freqmod | yes, but the apple firmware is a little unstable (i don't really know why) as video works |
| 23:45:58 | sidolin | yeah, compiling gcc, this reminds me of installing gentoo :) |
| 23:46:17 | dionoea | installing gentoo is worse :) |
| 23:46:49 | freqmod | (which is the only thing that works) (diskmode doesn't work, nor does audio playing) :( |
| 23:48:05 | linuxstb | When 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 ;) |
| 23:48:47 | Bagder | cp PP5022.mi4.my /mnt/archos/PP5022.mi4 |
| 23:49:00 | _FireFly_ | dionoea: with gentoo you have a bit more freedom of choice ,:) |
| 23:49:10 | dionoea | freedom to wait too :p |
| 23:49:46 | _FireFly_ | thats the only disadvantage |
| 23:49:46 | dan_a | Hmmm... 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 ? |
| 23:50:20 | PaulJam | do you have peakmeters in the wps? |
| 23:50:23 | Bagder | wow |
| 23:50:27 | Bagder | failure |
| 23:50:55 | dan_a | _FireFly_: I'm currently using one which just shows the artist and track name, nothing dynamic |
| 23:53:03 | linuxstb | dan_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... |
| 23:53:24 | linuxstb | Bagder: Trying a modified firmware on the Sansa? |
| 23:53:29 | Bagder | yeah |
| 23:53:38 | Bagder | now stuck in a black screen... |
| 23:53:45 | Bagder | with text |
| 23:54:37 | dionoea | that sounds like a good first step :) |
| 23:55:24 | Bagder | recovery mode engaged |
| 23:56:34 | Bagder | I tried with a "silly" DSA signing approach |
| 23:56:43 | Bagder | just to see if a dummy set would work |
| 23:56:52 | Bagder | would avoid having to patch the BL |
| 23:57:02 | Bagder | it didn't |
| 23:57:03 | freqmod | linuxstb: 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) |
| 23:58:01 | linuxstb | I'ld prefer it if you posted to the patch tracker. |
| 23:58:12 | linuxstb | So it automatically looks for that file, rather than specifying it on the command-line? |
| 23:58:16 | freqmod | scramble.c: http://pastebin.ca/96398 (posts it in the tracker too) |
| 23:58:18 | dionoea | i wonder why they always have to sign/encode the firmwares ... |
| 23:58:47 | Bagder | they like to make it hard for us |
