01:15:17Bagderthe more the merrier!
01:15:34RaeNyeBTW, i've been thinking of rebuilding the main menu
01:15:59RaeNyeI think it's becoming less logical to navigate it as time passes
01:16:09 Join TCK [0] (n=tckocr@81-178-90-57.dsl.pipex.com)
01:16:25RaeNyee.g., maybe have all "Browse .XYZ directory" in a single submenu
01:17:10Paul_The_NerdIt might be even easier to drop them from the menuing system entirely.
01:17:32RaeNyeor divide settings to categories such as "users change this settings only once" / "change this setting every song"
01:17:57Paul_The_NerdAll of the 'browse' ones could simply be user-accessible folders not hidden in .rockbox any more, and you reclaim that little bit of code.
01:17:58RaeNyebut if your browsing is not "all files", you can't enter .rockbox
01:18:32RaeNyeI personally dislike having many subdirs in /
01:18:37Paul_The_NerdI was thinking, you could have a Rockbox folder, and a .rockbox folder in the future.
01:18:43Paul_The_NerdSo you'd just have one extra visible subdir
01:19:07Paul_The_NerdUnder it would be Themes, Configs, Rocks, EQs
01:19:16Paul_The_NerdWPSes, and Fonts too, I suppose
01:19:23RaeNyebut when you enter the filebrowser, you start from current directory which could be too deep...
01:20:01Paul_The_NerdHolding Left will get you to root very quickly
01:20:26RaeNyeand if you're not using dircache, will spin HDD too much
01:20:54Paul_The_NerdMake long-left a shortcut to root.
01:20:59Paul_The_NerdSkip over in-between folders.
01:21:09Paul_The_NerdThat's beneficial anyway.
01:21:19RaeNyethat's a good idea w/o organizing menu at all
01:22:25RaeNyeadd a FS?
01:22:33Paul_The_NerdAnyway, organizing the menu might be fine. My idea was more of "A way to trim tiny bits of code out, without harming functionality *too* much"
01:22:33Paul_The_NerdFS?
01:22:53RaeNyefeature request in the tracker
01:23:10Paul_The_NerdOh, right
01:23:14Paul_The_NerdYes, I shall go do that.
01:23:17^jhMikeS^RaeNye: I was thinking: It doen't cause any noticeable delay to turn off the visible dislplay only with the backlight. I can standby the chip when the switch is flicked however.
01:23:28amiconnPaul_The_Nerd: The problem with 'just' using subdirs as-is is localisation
01:23:40Paul_The_NerdRaeNye: I think I've only ever added one feature requests to the tracker, and it was a request to disable "Critical" feature requests.
01:23:40 Quit xoder (Remote closed the connection)
01:23:45Paul_The_Nerdamiconn: Oh, right. This is very true.
01:23:49RaeNyepaul_the_nerd: And I might very well implement it :)
01:24:03RaeNyejhmikes: the problem is when you wake it up
01:24:31^jhMikeS^RaeNye: It's very fast if the chip is left on. 80ms.
01:24:46RaeNyepaul_the_nerd: I saw it. funny indeed.
01:25:12RaeNyejhmikes: so when do you shut it off completely?

01:25:38^jhMikeS^When you explicitly do so or when it times out. Do we need another thread for that or just use the BL thread?
01:26:38RaeNyeI think the BL thread is ok for that. I'd prefer a more general power management thread replacing BL thread though...
01:27:57^jhMikeS^I have a routine to just do the visible display as well as a full power mode selection routine but I'm thinking that might be too elaborate? (but it is compact :)
01:29:15^jhMikeS^You don't really gain anything from sleep mode. Startup is basically the same.
01:29:44Mikachuwhat platform are we talking about? couldn't find it in scrollback
01:29:59^jhMikeS^Mikachu: x5
01:30:03Mikachuah
01:31:03^jhMikeS^Well, the BL thread can become the power thread. Don't change the code for other ports. Should work the same...I think.

02:45:39BigMaci typed that originally
02:45:44BigMacbut changed it
02:45:46Mikachuthe good thing about it would be the menu at startup that allows you to select what to boot
02:46:06BigMaci heard it causes problems
02:46:08Mikachuthe bad thing is it will probably take a little bit longer to load
02:46:19BigMacah nvm
02:46:22Mikachui haven't tried it myself
02:46:40BigMaci just hate how it takes me 2-3 tries to get into apple os

02:47:59BigMacperhaps jd could do that because hes fiddlin with the button mapping
02:48:20Mikachuone thing to be aware of is that you will fail if you move your thumb around, because the scrolling interferes

02:49:51Mikachuone thing i fiddled is a menu to boot apple without having to press anything
02:50:11Paul_The_NerdThe iPodLinux bootloader really *shouldn't* cause any problems, but if Rockbox doesn't load for some reason, and you're using it, you'll need to go to them for help, or switch to our bootloader and see if it still doesn't load before asking, i sall
02:50:41BigMachow hard would it be to get video support in 5g
02:50:48Mikachuvery
02:50:58BigMacbecause im trying to learn c and arm so i can actually contribute
02:51:01BigMacaww
02:51:02Paul_The_NerdVery is a soft word.
02:51:14Mikachunobody knows how that piece of the hardware works
02:51:18Paul_The_NerdFor good video support, you need to do some reverse engineering.
02:51:41BigMaci hate going to apple os its like eating hamburger after youve been eating filet mignonyour entire life
02:52:11Mikachuheh
02:52:26BigMacis anyone working on video support?
02:52:31BigMacon 5g
02:52:43Paul_The_NerdNobody in Rockbox is working on 5G-specific video support, I believe
02:53:18JdGordonor any video support really..
02:53:20BigMacthat sucks. what are they working on for the 5g
02:53:46Paul_The_NerdBigMac: You seem to be missing the point. People for the most part work in things that affect everyone, not just one player
02:54:08BigMacoh i see
02:54:23Paul_The_NerdBesides, the 5G, and iPods in general, have *problems* that need to be fixed before someone does something as frivolous as working on a feature that would only benefit one player, and only a subsection of its users at best. :-P
02:55:23Paul_The_NerdThere has been a little work toward a generic video playback plugin, that would simply work on any player that was fast enough. But it's really not gotten far.
02:55:29BigMaci believe everyone who bought an ipod video, intended on using video. Otherwise they could have just bought a photo:-P
02:55:45FebsRight. Like, it would probably be a good idea to get skip-free *audio* playback working before worrying about video.
02:56:14BigMaci have never had a skip in audio
02:56:19Paul_The_NerdBigMac: Considering nowadays if you want a *new* HD iPod you have to get a Video, that's a very bad assumption to make
02:56:24FebsBigMac: Well, you're off by at least one, because the availability of video had zero influence on my decision to buy a 5g.
02:56:43Paul_The_NerdBigMac: As well, just because you don't get skips doesn't mean it isn't a problem. It's a very major problem, as is battery life.
02:56:56BloodySorcererEEK! battery life
02:57:02BloodySorcererthe curse of practically all the ports

02:58:06BigMacso did you here my suggestion?
02:58:06Paul_The_NerdBigMac: H300 and X5 aren't iPods. Some people want iPods for silly reasons like "style" or the scrollwheel, or the iTunes integration, rather than simply video support.

03:00:39JdGordonim not touching the booloader code
03:01:16BigMacawww
03:01:26 Part pixelma
03:01:35BigMacwould that be hard to do? changing play to select?

03:01:49FebsBigMac, I think that it is safe to assume that making it easier to boot the apple firmware is not very high on Rockbox developer's to do lists.
03:01:51JdGordoni doubt it
03:02:19BigMacwell then that is what im going to try to do

03:02:55Paul_The_NerdSo do it?
03:03:24BigMaci i have to learn c to a good extent first and learn arm.
03:03:25Paul_The_NerdIf you read the ipod bootloader's .c file, you can probably find where it does the button check to see if it's being held down.
03:03:32Paul_The_NerdYou don't need to know ARM for this one.
03:03:32JdGordonPaul_The_Nerd: remember we were talking about how noone ever uses do.. while() loops? well i changed the while into a do while in the action code and got rid of 2 variables! so they are usefule!
03:03:36BigMacim not in college so i can't take a course on it
03:03:50Paul_The_NerdJdGordon: I admitted they're useful, just wondered if they were ever *necessary*.
03:03:51BigMacoh ok
03:04:10JdGordonBigMac: just look for BUTTON_SELECT in the bootloader and change it to BUTTON_PlAY
03:04:50BigMacwere is the code do i have to download with vmware?
03:05:10BigMacand i have to learn how to compile because i *still* cant do it
03:05:28Paul_The_NerdYes, you need to learn how to compile.
03:05:45Mikachuit is not very hard
03:05:54BigMacyah im trying just can't successfully do it
03:07:07Paul_The_NerdWith vmware all you need to do is open a terminal window, cd into the rockbox source folder, mkdir build, cd build, ../tool/configure, and then make
03:07:16Paul_The_NerdAt least for your first compile
03:07:43Paul_The_NerdThe VMWare image should have like, 90% of the setup work done for you already
03:07:45BigMaci have a question, what does vmware download? like what file type

03:09:20Paul_The_NerdVMWare is intended to be used with the cvs command to check out the whole sources from the repository.
03:09:35BigMacis that what i need to change the button?
03:10:13FebsPerhaps you should start with something a bit less ambitious.
03:10:29Paul_The_NerdFebs: The button is actually a really simple change, I think.
03:10:35jnhey rb pauses/skips every so often when the icon all the way to the top right shows up i tried enabling anti-skip and disk cache but that didnt help... is there a solution for this? im using a ipod-photo
03:10:42Paul_The_NerdBut really, the first thing he should do is get compiling working
03:10:58FebsYeah, but "really simple" is relative. If you don't know how to compile ...
03:11:19Paul_The_NerdFebs: Well yeah, I meant really simple in the context of "once you're ready to make source code changes, it's one of the easiest you could make"
03:11:28Paul_The_Nerdjn: What format files are you using?
03:11:36BigMaci dont think i could use it anyway so i guess i cant do it
03:11:47jnPaul_The_Nerd: mp3 vba
03:11:52BigMacim using jbuild so id have to apply it ove it
03:12:13jnjbuild freezes for me
03:12:18jntoo often
03:12:34Paul_The_Nerdjn: And it only skips when you the icon is displaying?
03:12:57jnyeah
03:13:11BigMacjn:never freezes for me
03:13:14Paul_The_NerdIt sounds like it's the usual skipping when the CPU is too tasked. There's probably not anything you can do for it.
03:13:24jnBigMac: have you changed any settings?
03:13:27Paul_The_NerdBigMac: He has a 4G, which has its own set of problems. Remember, not all players perform the same.
03:13:41Paul_The_Nerdjn: Ignore the fact that it doesn't freeze for him. The 4G has a known freezing bug that the 5G doesn't have.
03:13:47jnah
03:13:52Mikachujn: do you use the default wps with the peak meters?
03:14:00jnyep
03:14:04Mikachuchange to one without them
03:14:05jndefault everything
03:14:11jnwhat's it called?
03:14:26Mikachufind something called browse themes and select anything there
03:14:36Paul_The_NerdAnything but rockbox_default, that is
03:14:46Mikachuright
03:15:07jnloading dancepuffduo
03:15:16Mikachuheh
03:15:27Paul_The_NerdThat one seems to be popular, since it's available by default.
03:16:07BigMacdance puff duo? 4g only?
03:16:34Paul_The_NerdI don't believe there's a 5G version of it, no.
03:17:52FebsDoesn't Dance Puff Duo have some animation on the WPS? That can cause skipping. (Though it's probably less of an issue on the 4g than on the 5g.)
03:18:09jnwhat theme do you reccomend i use?
03:18:17Paul_The_NerdFebs: Apparently the animation causes less issue than the peakmeters, if the results of the people in the forums is any indication.
03:18:59Paul_The_Nerdjn: Try iCatcher
03:19:17FebsOn the 5g, ANY updates to the wps can cause problems. For example, I can use the EQ without skipping if I keep Rockbox on a menu rather than the WPS.
03:19:49Paul_The_NerdFebs: What about a non-scrolling WPS without progress bar / time?
03:20:24FebsI had the same thought, but I haven't gotten around to making a simple WPS to test it.
03:21:20jnok thank you guys
03:21:38Mikachuecho > empty.wps
03:21:47Paul_The_NerdI'm kinda curious how much drawing can occur before it starts skipping. Maybe there's something funny in the WPS code too
03:23:05Mikachumaybe it refreshes the whole screen after every printed line or something stupid? but not likely
03:23:48FebsBigMac, I'm guessing that the change that you would want to make is in line 416 of bootloader/ipod.c.
03:24:21FebsEmphasize the word "guessing." I am no programmer.

03:30:12Paul_The_NerdBigMac: Indeed, changes that only affect the bootloader don't require using a different build
03:30:19BigMacso how could i overwrite my bootloader and apply it
03:30:35sharpeeasy, follow the installation instructions.
03:30:47BigMaco
03:30:48 Quit TeaSea ("Leaving")
03:30:56sharpeand just *don't* extract a new build.
03:31:01BigMacso i could dl the bootloader.bin
03:31:08Paul_The_NerdAssuming you've still got apple_os.bin, you do the ipodfw -g 5g (or video or whatever) blah that merges apple_os.bin and bootloader.bin
03:31:12BigMacthen open it in wordpad?
03:31:15Paul_The_NerdAnd then you do the ipodpatcher -w step
03:31:18sharpeno...
03:32:09sharpewhat... would you open it in wordpad for, besides the fact it's a binary file?
03:32:28BigMacso i can change it?
03:32:42JdGordonyou have to change it in the code!
03:32:42sharpewhat are you wanting to change?
03:32:46JdGordonnot the binary
03:33:05BigMacthe way to go into apple os from menu to select
03:33:32sharpefor any change to the bootloader you're going to have to compile the bootloader.
03:34:00BigMaclmao
03:34:21BigMaci really have to learn how to compile eventuallly...
03:34:32sharpeunless you could probably get by using a hex editor to change a string, but not much else, changing a string isn't going to help you here.
03:34:39JdGordonno.. dont.. we get more enjoyment this way
03:34:47JdGordonnot a string
03:34:56sharpelike i said, it wouldn't help him here.
03:34:57JdGordonan actual bonafide int
03:35:23sharpei can't remember, ARM is little endian, isn't it?
03:35:48JdGordondunno
03:35:57sharpei think so...
03:36:19BigMacso on my list of stuff to do: learn to compile, c, and arm assembly
03:36:21Paul_The_NerdIt's the opposite of m68k.
03:36:27Paul_The_NerdIf that's at all helpful
03:36:32BigMacanyone learn to compile from a book
03:36:44sharpeokay, just need to know what endian m68k is then.
03:36:58sharpeBigMac: actually, compiling is pretty straightforward.
03:37:07BigMacive tried it
03:37:09Paul_The_NerdBigMac: Learning to compile Rockbox is something you learn by reading the documents at the Rockbox website. It's not like there are books published on the Rockbox development process...
03:37:26BigMacbut i don't know any of the commands, i have to use the tutorial
03:37:26Paul_The_Nerdsharpe: I think ARM is LE
03:37:26S0apBigMac - Follow the wiki instructions and build a stock CVS one, just to exercise the steps yourself. Baby steps.
03:37:49sharpeit's what i thought too, i remember something about it before.
03:38:11Paul_The_Nerdsharpe: I honestly can't remember if it was betoh or letoh that I needed to fix some bugs. =/
03:38:18S0apFor if you start with a modified build of ANY kind, and you have problems, it becomes impossible to troubleshoot if you don't know what a stock build should do.
03:38:25BigMacwooops, i meant learn c from a book
03:38:59sharpeyou can use, online material...
03:39:12BigMacno i would like to use a book
03:39:19sharpethere are books that are now online.
03:39:20sharpe:)
03:39:27scorche`actually, ARM is middle-endian
03:39:30S0apYou don't need to know jack about C to enact the change in the bootloader you want, BigMac. Learn to compile by paint-by-numbers, and then start playing...
03:39:57Paul_The_NerdBigMac: As for learning C, your very best bet is to go to a bookstore and flip through the books they have, and see which one feels least boring to read.
03:40:05Paul_The_NerdIf you *must* use a book
03:40:16sharpescorche`: have you seen the pirate video?
03:40:20BigMacS0ap: i want to learn c so i can contribute to the development on the 5g
03:40:38Paul_The_NerdAlso, I might recommend picking up an O'Reilly pocket reference for C or C++, just so you have something convenient to look things up in for syntax and basics.
03:40:39scorche`sharpe: eh?
03:40:51scorche`does it have anything to do with me correcting you on endianness?

03:41:27S0apDae - checkout the freenode FAQ referenced in the MOTD
03:41:46Paul_The_NerdBigMac: It's a small book, pocket-sized, fairly handy.
03:41:54BigMacS0ap: hence me putting it on the to do list after learning to compile:- )
03:42:06Paul_The_NerdBigMac: It'd also be useful if you wanted to read the Rockbox source and try to understand what's going on.
03:42:08BigMaccool ill check if borders has it
03:42:21DaeS0ap: I can't find the FAQ
03:42:24Paul_The_NerdI got mine at a Borders.
03:42:57S0apDae - www.freenode.net
03:43:02Paul_The_NerdI mean, everything in it *should* be in any other book you get, and it's not good for learning from, but it's really handy for if you can't quite remember the syntax of something. It's kinda like a dictionary. If you can speak English, it doesn't necessarily mean your spelling is perfect.
03:43:39sharpei have a book like that on c#. like a reference guide, i suppose you're talking about Paul.
03:44:10BigMacwait my spelling or the book, and yes i can speak english.

03:48:59sharpeBigMac: nope.
03:49:24Paul_The_NerdRockbox is C only, with bits of assembly here and there (which isn't necessary to know for most stuff)
03:50:15DaeS0ap: That's a proxy, but I want something cool
03:50:18BigMacPaul_The_Nerd: any recommended tutorial for learning c? (or anyone else for that matter)>
03:50:44S0apDae - then read the FAQ.
03:51:16Paul_The_NerdBigMac: I honestly don't even remember how I learned C/C++. Most of what I know, I just realized I had picked up along the way, by the time I took a course in it I found out I already knew everything that course was teaching, and so far I've managed to keep ahead of what various courses have tried to teach me.
03:51:47S0apBigMac - once you learn to compile, an active project (RockBox) you are interested in (RockBox) is about as excellent a tutorial as you can get.
03:52:53BigMacso youre saying just learn to compile and i should be good?

03:53:05S0apBigMac - you can read patches, try to follow what they do and how, and ask the authors for _specific_ clarification on _specific_ troubles you have understanding. You'll wear out your welcome shortly if you as for hand-holding, but if you show an honest attempt to track the code yourself, and have _specific_ questions you'll most likely get answers.
03:53:49BigMack will do
03:53:50S0apCompiling is a hurdle which, once you cross it, allows you to play and experiment w/o reliance on others.
03:54:01BigMacim ordering the book tomorrow
03:54:55BigMacS0ap: should i learn to compile to the extent were i know the commands by heart, or just enough to be able to go through the tutorial
03:55:38Paul_The_NerdOnce you get to a point, there's only a few things you'll need to know
03:55:44S0apStep one would be simply follow the tutorial with a stock build to ensure you have everything set up right. Rule out as many variables as you can.
03:56:11Paul_The_NerdOne: How to make a build (mkdir build, cd build, ../tools/configure, make, make zip), how to patch (learn to use the patch and diff commands) and how to update to the newest sources (cvs update -dP)

05:27:25rus1Hey, I just put rockbox on my iPod Nano and somehow it seems to have removed my iTunes database because when I boot into the stock firmware it acts as if I have no songs on it. What are my options for rebuilding that?
05:27:38rus1(Is there an easy way, or will I have to remove everything and put it back?)
05:28:15rus1I tried the rewrite database feature in the foo_dop plugin for foobar2000
05:28:28scorcherus1: it should still exist...did you format your device?
05:28:32rus1No
05:29:34rus1I still have all my music and stuff on it - in ipod_control or whatever those hidden directories are and can play them through the file browser in rockbox.
05:29:46midkayrus1: in my experience, and many others', the foo_pod rewrite feature is broken and will not rebuild your database, instead just kind of screwing it up if it existed.
05:30:17midkayrus1: i don't know of any other way to rebuild it.. either you'll have to google for another tool, or reload all the music.
05:30:17rus1I'm not using foo_pod, because that's not compatible with foobar2000 version .9 and later. I'm using one called foo_dop
05:30:42midkayif it didn't work, you probably just need to reload it all, or keep searching.
05:31:00rus1And foo_dop is able to read the iTunes database from the iPod and load all the songs into a playlist.
05:31:37midkaythere's no reason it shouldn't show up in apple OS if the database is intact..
05:32:01rus1That's what I would think.
05:32:06rus1But it isn't showing up.
05:32:23midkayif you can, i'd just suggest recopying everything - it's a nano, so that won't take long.
05:32:55 Quit philth ("quittin' time")
05:35:26rus1I wonder if I can do that without installing iTunes. I'll try foo_dop first I guess.
05:36:19midkaywhy not just install itunes, even if you uninstall it afterwards?

05:37:53rus1But I think I can handle re-adding my music.
05:38:22*midkay doesn't get people who hate some pieces of software so much they won't install them, even if just for a few minutes, in order to just get something done instead of looking for alternatives...

05:45:12*rus1 isn't as frustrated as scorche` thinks he is.
05:45:17scorche`why do you even want to have music in apple firmware, if you have rockbox?
05:45:44rus1Little things. Like playing high bitrate MP3s without skipping.
05:46:33rus1Smart playlists.
05:46:39rus1That kind of thing.
05:47:02rus1Basically, take a look at "known issues" with iPod rockbox, and those are my reasons.
05:54:13 Quit sando (Read error: 113 (No route to host))
05:54:20rus1However, I'm very impressed by rockbox in general - non-retarded photo display, playing other formats, and the many options and settings available are awesome.

07:38:45JdGordonbecause the ram is better used by the audio buffers ye?
07:39:14amiconnyes
07:39:15JdGordonwhat would you think about temporarily using the plugin buffer for dc instead of the auidovbuffer?
07:40:04amiconnStrange idea.... and may be too small depending on the number of files
07:40:32Bg3ralso, what would happen when u run a plugin ?
07:40:55JdGordonye, paul sort of put it in my head... i just checked on my h300 and its about 340kb so it would fit in the plugin buffer
07:41:09amiconnI don't have any problems using rockbox without dirache. Imho dircache is much hassle for little benefit
07:41:26JdGordonwell it would releoad itself next time you enter the tree after loading a plugin

07:42:05JdGordonye, i guess so, ignore me, just a wierd idea that shouldnt happen

09:20:11Bg3ramiconn: because we use it on some places, and, imho it's better to use a define then a const
09:20:47amiconnYes, saw that now
09:21:37amiconnI thought the value didn't exist before, since 'no remote' is indicated by a different method
09:25:56Bg3rit's used by the remote_type() func
09:27:19amiconn^jhMikeS^: There's a slight bug in your x5 lcd driver optimisations:
09:28:15amiconnWhen lcd_write_two() sends the second 9bit of the first pixel, the controller receives the msb of the first 9bit of the second pixel as lsb
09:28:37amiconnThis means the blue lsb of the first pixel is determined by the red msb of the second pixel
09:29:22amiconnThis wouldn't hurt at all if dithering in the lcd controller would be switched off (then the blue (and red) lsb wouldn't be used at all) - but dithering is enabled
09:29:24JdGordonwoot! fixed the problems :D
09:29:52peturJdGordon: again? :p
09:30:02JdGordonhopefully for the last time
09:30:22amiconnTwo options for fixing: (1) disable dithering. (2) change px2 >> 15 into (px2 >> 16) << 1
09:30:41amiconnI would suggest (1) since the source data is 16bit anyway, and it's faster
09:31:03Bg3rJdGordon: :D
09:31:06Bg3ri hope too
09:31:32amiconnApart from that, an asm version of lcd_write_data() would be helpful especially since the framebuffer was moved to dram now

10:07:03amiconnLinusN: What would you think we should call a target specific asm driver part? lcd-x5-a.S ?
10:07:06LinusNit would be awfully nice if we could burst the reading from the frame buffer
10:07:27LinusNamiconn: is asm() painful?
10:08:01amiconnNot exactly painful, but ugly for complete functions
10:08:23LinusNok, then i guess lcd-x5-asm.S would be fine
10:08:55LinusNspeaking of asm, i wonder how we should handle the ata driver
10:08:56amiconnasm() _within_ a function, while being rather flexible, has some limitations which don't apply when writing an all-asm function
10:09:06LinusNit should go to target/coldfire/
10:09:17LinusNamiconn: yes, i see

10:09:40 Join webguest29 [0] (n=ca07b086@labb.contactor.se)
10:09:58amiconnI use this in the h300 lcd driver, and memset() etc
10:10:56amiconnA call with a short run (not using the line-burst loops) doesn't need to save registers and hence lowers call overhead
10:11:29LinusNah yes
10:12:09amiconnI think this is less relevant for x5 though. The bit fiddling needs a number of extra registers anyway
10:13:19 Quit webguest29 (Client Quit)
10:13:25LinusNguess so
10:14:00amiconnTop-level asm() blocks sometimes cause problems, btw. If you switch section within the block, gcc sometimes doesn't notice (depending on target, -O flag etc)
10:14:16amiconn...and so subsequent function(s) might end up in an unwanted section
10:14:21LinusNouch
10:14:30amiconnYeah, ouch indeed
10:14:52LinusNnot surprising though, as asm coding is done behind the back of gcc
10:15:18*Bagder has learned a new gcc error output to dislike
10:15:27Bagder"sorry, unimplemented: called from here"
10:15:30amiconnI ran into that problem when converting system.c parts to assembler for sh (to circumvent the braindead _alias_ decision for gcc4.0+)

10:19:38aliaskIs there any way to stop gui_synclist from reserving the space at the top of the screen for the statusbar?
10:20:29aliaskProbably something obvious...

10:29:44amiconnyes
10:30:12pondlifeJust noting your objection to allocating a fixed thumbnail clip buffer on Archos. Seems reasonable.
10:30:28pondlifeAre tagcache or dircache allowed on Archos?
10:30:34pondlifein RAM I mean

10:30:43BuckfastHi all
10:30:51amiconntagcache in ram is currently enabled, dircache is not
10:31:06pondlifeOK, well there may still be a problem.
10:31:12amiconnI'll probably disable tagcache in ram as well because of code size considerations
10:31:37amiconnOn archos, voicefile and talk clip are never loaded at the same time as audio data
10:31:47 Join Jungti1234__ [0] (n=jungti12@124.60.8.152)
10:32:05pondlifeThe original issue I was looking into was that dircache/tagcache allocated memory from audiobuf, resulting in the pointer to the thumbnail buffer being wrong - so loading a voice clip overwrote dircache data.
10:32:07amiconnvoice only works when music is stopped anyway (only one audio decoder), so the voicefile is loaded into the audio buffer
10:32:21pondlifeThis resulted in crashes sometimes
10:32:27amiconnThe thumbnail buffer is located behind the voicefile up to the end of the audio buffer
10:32:45pondlifeVoice file is irrelevant here.
10:32:46amiconnI don't see why this could cause problems
10:32:50 Join SereR0kR [0] (n=serer0kr@Fd334.f.strato-dslnet.de)
10:33:00amiconnNo it's not (on archos).
10:33:06pondlifeWhy?
10:33:13amiconn[10:33:10] <amiconn> The thumbnail buffer is located behind the voicefile up to the end of the audio buffer
10:33:53amiconnSo if tagcache/dircache shift te audiobuffer start, and voicefile loading wouldn't notice, it would already corrupt memory when loading the voicefile
10:33:54pondlifeThe problem was that dircache allocation increases the value of audiobuf. But nothing informs talk.c of this change, so it uses it's cached old value to load thumbnail clips
10:34:09pondlifep_thumbnail points to the dircache
10:34:34amiconnOn archos this can't happen. p_thumbnail is _behind_ the voicefile
10:34:51pondlifeWhat if there's no voice file in use?
10:34:59pondlifei.e. .talk clips, but no talking menus
10:35:07pondlifeOr no English.voice?
10:35:27BuckfastJust a question :/ Do u know a nice site with Sansa e200 firmware ar cool stuff for this mp3 player ? Ty
10:35:51pondlifeI guess I need to see a memory map..!! You mean that the same area is used for voice file and .talk clips?
10:36:15LinusNBuckfast: i have no idea, we are only hacking it, we don't use the damn thing :-)
10:36:23amiconnHmm, not sure. But on archos we don't need a fixed talk clip mem size
10:36:47BuckfastWhy not ?
10:36:57amiconnpondlife: Archos, music playing: audiobuf|<−−−−- audio data −−−−>|audiobuf_end
10:37:01LinusNBuckfast: because rockbox doesn't run on it yet
10:37:08BuckfastOkay thx :-)
10:37:14pondlifeOK, where does dircache/tagcache fit in?
10:37:24BuckfastMMh could u tell me what time is it plz ?
10:37:31BagderBuckfast: firmwares are available from sandisk ;-)
10:37:32amiconnArchos, no music playing: audiobuf|<−−- voicefile −−−−>|<−−−− talk clip buffer −−->|audiobuf_end
10:37:32pondlifeaudio data = voice file OR .talk clip OR music?
10:37:48BuckfastYes but i seek a firmware to unlock the radio with a EU version
10:37:49pondlifeOK
10:37:50LinusNBuckfast: it's 10:37am here in stockholm
10:37:56BagderBuckfast: and you can probably soon patch your own "skin" using h3mod
10:38:11LinusN:-)
10:38:11BagderBuckfast: I don't think it has the HW for it
10:38:22BuckfastSandisk said it has
10:38:22Bagderotherwise you could just install the US version
10:38:35Bagderthe US version firmware plays radio fine
10:38:41Buckfastbut when u install the US firmware the radio doesn't sound anything
10:38:45pondlifeSo we have tagcache | dircache | audiobuf on Archos too? (With audiobuf subdivided as above)
10:38:53dionoea_workmaybe you just don't have a radio
10:39:14amiconnALmost. (without the dircache in cvs builds, but it could be enabled, and if done, works)
10:39:27pondlifeOK, so we still have a problem.
10:39:33Buckfast:-( U think they made a different version only for the EU ?
10:39:43BagderBuckfast: so I find it likely that the EU version has no code for playing radio
10:39:50BagderBuckfast: I do
10:39:54dionoea_workwhy would they disable the radio if it's in the hardware ?
10:39:58Bagderthey did it for the X5 too
10:40:03BuckfastFu#####idea ...
10:40:07Bagderits some customs things
10:40:26BagderI believe
10:40:37pondlifeWhen dircache allocates from audiobuf, it changes trhe value of "audiobuf". But talk.c uses a cached value stored in "p_thumbnail" which is out of date. So it needs to just use "audiobuf" each time on Archos...
10:40:46pondlifeI'll update the patch for that.
10:40:51amiconnpondlife: There are 2 reasons why keeping the voicefile loaded on archos isn't possible and wouldn't even make sense. (1) The small ram. The voicefile almost takes the whole audiobuffer.... (2) Playing music and voice at the same time isn't possible with just one decoder
10:41:08pondlifeI'm not talking about voice files
10:41:09BagderBuckfast: you can dissassemble the US and the EU versions and compare! ;-)

10:41:30Buckfastthe only difference was 2 chips
10:41:33Bagderdissassembled?
10:41:35amiconnBut I think it _might_ be useful to statically reserve the talk clip buffer on swcodec. This way talk clips would also work during playback the same way as voice
10:41:42BagderI doubt they did
10:41:47pondlifeIt's not a nicety, it's a crash fix.
10:41:51Buckfastbut nobody found what there were used to
10:41:58BuckfastArf ...
10:42:02BagderI talk about code
10:42:05Bagdernot chips

10:42:12Buckfastok
10:42:16BuckfastSo
10:42:22Buckfastthere is 2 files
10:42:28Buckfastdifferent
10:42:33pondlifeIt's nothing to do with voice files, just a fix for bad memory allocation between dircache and .talk clips.... sorry to repeat myself ;-)
10:42:33Bagderyes
10:42:38Buckfastin the us
10:42:48Bagderno need to tell _me_ that
10:42:49Buckfastthe version is xx.xxx.xxA
10:42:51Buckfastant ud is
10:42:55Buckfastxxx.xxx.xxE
10:43:01Buckfastsi when you change it
10:43:11Buckfastyou can upgrade with an US firmware
10:43:16Buckfastso you have the radio menu
10:43:18amiconnpondlife: I don't see why it could crash on archos. reset_state() does p_thumbnail = audiobuf;
10:43:31Buckfastbut there is only a strange noise ... no radio reception
10:43:47amiconnAfaics audiobuf is the global value, so if something else changes it (e.g. tagcache), talk.c would use the new value
10:43:49BagderBuckfast: ... which indicates HW differences, don't you think?
10:43:50pondlifeNo, it probably doesn't crash on Archos. This is a SWCODEC-only problem.
10:44:11BuckfastYes but ...
10:44:26Buckfasti think HW difference cost money
10:44:36Buckfastand i don't know why they made that
10:44:39Buckfastthis is stupid
10:44:39dionoea_workamiconn, pondlife: just curious, what patch are you talking about ?
10:44:44Bagderso how else do you explain the non-function?
10:44:45pondlifeNo,. talk.c didn't have code to re-setup p_thumbnail (reset_stat not being called)

10:46:29amiconnpondlife: talk_init() and talk_buffer_steal() both call reset_state()
10:46:45pondlifeHmm, well I can repro a crash on the H300 and H300 sim.
10:47:14pondlifehttp://www.rockbox.org/tracker/task/5662 has the details
10:47:55pondlifeI'll investigate some more, talk_buffer_steal should have been called at some point after dircache did it's allocation..
10:48:02pondlifes/it's/its
10:48:03 Nick Jungti1234__ is now known as Jungti1234 (n=jungti12@124.60.8.152)
10:48:33amiconnYeah, maybe it's an init order problem
10:48:34pondlifeInspecting values of p_thumbnail and audiobuf revealed that they did not stay in sync though
10:49:03amiconnA case for the realloc thing already talked about multiple times
10:49:05amiconnLinusN?
10:49:13pondlifeIt shouldn't really matter which order they are inititalised in though.
10:49:44LinusNamiconn: yes?
10:49:54pondlifeI can probably fix it.; talk_buffer_steal should be called later anyway..
10:50:37pondlifeRather that than put more #if CONFIG_CODEC == SWCODEC in.
10:51:21LinusNdoes anybody know if ipod video has a jtag connector?
10:51:48pondlifeI just thought a 32K buffer wouldn't matter too much and would be cross-platform. But all the little buffers add up...
10:52:09amiconn32K is the size of the whole plugin buffer on archos
10:52:48amiconn...or around 2% of the audio buffer
10:52:53pondlifeThis is only allocated when a .talk clip is first played, not universally.
10:53:16amiconnYeah, but on archos it's till a waste
10:53:19pondlifeI thought a 2% loss was worth a potential crash fix. But as the crash doesn't occur, I'll pop some #ifs in.
10:53:32amiconnCalling talk_buffer_steal() later is probably the better method
10:53:36pondlifeYep
10:53:41pondlifeLeave it with me
10:53:41preglowLinusN: i don't think anyone's opened one yet...
10:53:54amiconnpreglow: why not?
10:54:00LinusNwell, someone has: http://arstechnica.com/reviews/hardware/video-ipod.ars/6
10:54:04amiconnLinusN: Weren't you working on that realloc thing?
10:54:12preglowwell, sure, but not verified if there's a connector on it
10:54:20preglowonly recently did someone find out if this was the case even on 4g
10:54:51LinusNamiconn: yes, i gave it some thought, but but it on ice when i realized that there are a few places where buffer_alloc() isn't used
10:54:55linuxstbLinusN: Crack your 5g open and have a look...
10:54:59LinusNs/but/put/
10:55:18amiconnput but? ;)
10:55:23LinusN:-)
10:55:28pondlifebuffer_alloc could do with taking an "alignment" parameter. The places it's not used need to be word aligned I think.
10:55:38LinusNpondlife: yes
10:56:03amiconnbuffer_alloc() could always align
10:56:04linuxstbShouldn't it just word-align everything?
10:56:15pondlifeHmm, think of the wasted bytes ;-)
10:56:17preglowthat's the better choice
10:56:25pondlife(says the 32K buffer eater)
10:56:30amiconnpondlife: 3 bytes vs. 32KB. See?
10:56:32linuxstbpondlife: I'm assuming it's not called many times
10:56:40pondlifeNah, I was just joking
10:56:45amiconnIn fact it's 1.5 bytes on average

11:37:02Slasherilostlogic: currently i am planning to separate, reimplement and design a buffering api for the buffering
11:37:15LinusNpreglow: i figured that, but what do we think about using it for some heavy lifting?
11:37:26Slasherithat should hopefully solve the existing issues with file buffering
11:37:35LinusNSlasheri: what are those issues?
11:37:44*amiconn is still under the impression that the swcodec playback engine is too complex for what it does
11:37:50*LinusN too
11:38:40SlasheriLinusN: currently mainly crashes and other restrictions (such as moving metadata to the same buffer)
11:38:43amiconnLinusN: Tried disabling dithering yet?
11:38:49lostlogicSlasheri: can't we just start with separating and clearly defining the APIs we have now?
11:38:55LinusNamiconn: no
11:39:02lostlogicSlasheri: and I already wrote a preliminary patch to move the metadata to the buffer
11:39:04Slasherilostlogic: sure
11:39:08lostlogicit's on the wiki page, but surely doesn't apply at all right now
11:39:18Slasheribut still i would like to completely redesign the buffering..
11:39:27Slasherias the current system has some restrictions
11:39:38preglowLinusN: dunno, i haven't really thought much about it. i'm pretty much content with one core as of right now
11:39:47pondlifeDocumentation would be my #1 priority. Especially better definition ot the responsibilities of each routine.
11:39:56Slasheriand then have a simple api playback engine could use for the buffering
11:40:00LinusNpreglow: but the performance sucks right now, doesn't it?
11:40:17lostlogicSlasheri: also, do you know the actual broken code path that the Q_CODEC_REQUEST_PENDING caused?
11:40:42Slasherifor example, playback engine could still read the files and use the buffering api to store that data (one possible way of doing it)
11:40:50lostlogicit's a very innocent event that simply stops playback when a track change will require a rebuffer
11:41:02lostlogicSlasheri: don't overengineer the world.
11:41:18Slasherilostlogic: i think clear_tracks() yielded, causing codec thread to finish and trying to load undefined codec
11:41:38Slasheriyes, and it exits the codec
11:42:01Slasheriwhile rebuffering is still going to happen
11:42:12Slasheriso the new codec then fails to init
11:42:34lostlogicI don't follow −− what does Q_CODEC_REQUEST_PENDING have to do with clear tracks yielding?
11:42:52preglowLinusN: sucks and sucks, it's more than usable
11:43:26lostlogicproblem with ipod is really battery life (as always with everything)

11:44:20preglowi happen to not to either
11:44:22preglowdo
11:44:23Slasherilostlogic: looking from the logf, when playback thread yields, it causes codec thread to finish "New codec:0/3" and it thinks there is new codec to load. But codectype 0 is incorrect because metadata and codec has not yet been loaded

11:58:05compubombbattery dies much sooner running it.
11:58:19safetydancompubomb, what mp3 player? iPod, iRiver?
11:58:19amiconnLinusN: Yes, but that doesn't tell anything about the pixel format with dithering off...
11:58:20LinusNcompubomb: which player?
11:58:33amiconnDoes white stay white with dithering off?
11:58:42preglowsafetydan: http://www.pvv.org/~thomj/rockbox/eqgraph.c
11:58:43preglowsafetydan: that'
11:58:43LinusNamiconn: that may be because they don't expect you to use 9-bit mode without dithering
11:58:54preglowsafetydan: that's the main code which calculates the graph, not too much
11:58:56LinusNamiconn: white is purple-ish
11:59:14safetydanpreglow, wow, smaller than I thought it would be
11:59:20amiconnLinusN: Hmm, but if we keep dithering enabled, we need to solve the blue lsb problem
11:59:30amiconn(will be solved with asm lcd_write_data() )
11:59:38LinusNi suggest we solve that instead
11:59:48compubombsafetydan: ipod 30gb video
11:59:54compubombit's really thin, and black
12:00
12:00:04safetydancompubomb, I think battery life on iPod is a known issue
12:00:09safetydanlack of batter life I mean
12:00:13LinusNyes it is
12:00:54compubombpersonally, i find the usability in the rockbox os far exceeds that of the default ipod functionality.
12:01:37compubombin part to it's customizability and OSS nature, but also because i can browse my music via folders vs. ID3 tags which are not always labeled
12:01:51linuxstbLinusN: So far, I've been ignoring the COP because I'm expecting battery life to take a big hit if we try to use it and would like to try to get at least the basic features of Rockbox working nicely together on one core. Using the COP just feels like cheating...
12:01:57compubombmost of my music is dj rips etc which normally have the title in filename, not id3 tags
12:02:20preglowi can't exactly see battery life improving by using the cop either
12:02:25LinusNlinuxstb: how is the current draw when you enable the cop?
12:02:34compubomblinuxstb: if i pump the volume up 100% the ipod looses percentage on battery like crazy
12:02:41linuxstbNo idea.... We need someone like you to test :)
12:02:42compubombit goes atleast 3 to 5 times quicker
12:02:46dionoea_workmaybe two slow cores are better than 1 boosted core in terms of battery life
12:02:46LinusNpreglow: why not?
12:02:58preglowpreglow: the same work pretty much needs to be done anyway
12:03:08preglowyes, i'm talking to myself
12:03:36linuxstbdionoea: That's been suggested, but needs testing.
12:03:54preglowi don't think we'll be rid of the boosting anyway
12:04:02compubombwish functionality was kept a bit when fast forwarding on music via the wheel
12:04:10preglowbut sure, some testing most definitely needs to be done
12:04:30LinusNlooks like i should investigate the jtag issue
12:04:33dionoea_workdoes the ipod firmware do the audio decoding with the CPUs ? or do they use some other chip ?
12:04:36amiconndionoea: That's not to be expected. Two cores running at 50% should draw the same as one core running at 100% clock −− as long as core voltage stays constant. Due to synchronisation overhead, I'd even expect two cores to draw more
12:04:46linuxstbdionoea_work: There is no other chip...
12:05:02dionoea_workeven the broadcom chip on the Video ipods ?
12:05:06dionoea_workor is that video only ?
12:05:08amiconnThings would of course change if we learn to adjust core voltage (should be possible at least on PP5022, and I guess also PP5021)
12:05:10preglowif you decode video, it does audio
12:05:14preglowif you just play audio, it does nothing

12:06:13LinusNso how bad is the battery life with rockbox compared to the OF?
12:06:26preglowvery
12:06:30linuxstbProbably about 50%.
12:06:39LinusNand is it the same with ipl?
12:06:45preglowipl is tons worse, afaik

12:09:09LinusNruntime detection would be nice, but then we would have to solve the issue with the plugins

12:12:56LinusNi mean, the performance today is bad, so how much do you think we can improve it?
12:13:12preglowLinusN: responsiveness would probably go up much if we used two cores, and that in itself might be worth sacrificing a little battery time, in some people's opinion
12:13:44LinusNpreglow: i suspect that the battery issue is similar to the x5 and h300
12:13:48preglowme too
12:14:07linuxstbI'm also worried about how much CPU time the button handler is taking - I could be wrong, but it seems that the scroll wheel seems to generate a lot of button events, which translates to lots of lcd_update() calls in the code.
12:14:07LinusNand that using two cores won't be as painful as we suspect
12:14:21preglowi don't think it'll be very painful at all, to be honest
12:14:24linuxstbThe cache coherency seems at least a little painful.
12:14:28preglowdepends on how many threads we want to migrate
12:14:49LinusNthe guilist code is inefficient, and we should take a look at the patch suggested in the mailing list
12:14:51preglowlinuxstb: some clever code restructuring might elimiate most of the cache coherency issues

13:11:20compubombafruff23: i'd wager they are better than the ones you have.
13:11:25safetydanpreglow, there's been a few goes at redoing the WPS parser. mostly just tokenising the WPS and using that for display instead of reparsing each time
13:11:45markunpreglow: he's right.. /* Not yet implemented - this is the wm8975 code*/*
13:11:50afruff23Then I don't know, use a better codec?
13:12:12crwli wonder how well you can drive hd580's or hd600's with a portable player
13:12:24markuncompubomb: yes, trebble and bass are not implemented for the ipod video
13:12:24crwlthey are pretty high impedance phones after all
13:12:26afruff23yeah, do you have a headphone amp?
13:12:28amiconnpreglow: The WM8711/21/31 (ipod g1..g3 and mini g1, g2) don't have tone control at all, and the WM8758 (video) does have a hw 5-band eq instead which we don't use (yet)
13:13:25amiconnMaybe we could (and should) use the hw 5-band eq as treble/bass on video?
13:13:32compubombwhen i turned off crossfeed, shit started to sound more clear
13:13:36compubombslightly
13:14:14afruff23also the ipod video has 2 cores, but rockbox only uses one (so far)
13:14:18compubombamiconn: when i set the eq, i started to notice it works good as treble / bass control
13:14:31compubombbut it started clipping every 5seconds or so.
13:14:38amiconncompubomb: I'm not talking about the software eq here
13:14:46compubomboh.
13:14:47compubombheh

13:15:23compubombamiconn: i'm not sure how much you've worked on this project, but all i can say is rockbox truely does rock in functionality, it's way better than the ipod software
13:15:37compubombipod software is way too limiting in media and general functionality.
13:15:46compubombatleast for a user such as myself
13:15:50 Quit A_M ("CGI:IRC")
13:16:08amiconnOr we should use the hw 5-band eq as true eq, replacing standard treble & bass
13:16:25*amiconn wonders whether this hw eq is fully parametric
13:16:50*compubomb does not know how to use a real eq :/
13:18:52linuxstbamiconn: If you're interested, I've been working with the WM8983 datasheet for the 5g (available on WM's website) - everything seems to be identical to the 5g's WM8758 so far...
13:19:29compubomb<−− haven't a clue wtf crossfeed does
13:19:55amiconnI won't do any work into this direction as I don't have a video, and this is far too involved to be done blindly
13:20:05afruff23sends sound form the right side to the left, andfrom the elft to the right?
13:20:10afruff23left*
13:20:15Bagdercompubomb: consider reading the manual
13:20:18amiconnIf the hw eq is _not_ parametric, then I would indeed suggest using it for hw treble & bass

13:40:16dionoea_workamiconn: ideas about what ? fixing the display on small screens (i started doing that) ? or something else ?
13:40:58amiconnYes, fixing it for small displays (and using the bitmap build system - perhaps even native bitmaps)
13:41:26amiconnThe latter could be interesting for large displays (like ipod video)
13:41:26dionoea_workyep, i'm using linuxstb's bitmaps and fixing the code
13:41:39dionoea_workand cleaning the code a bit
13:42:11tucozlinuxstb, do you know how to use for to search in sub folders as well?
13:42:29dionoea_workfor i in $(find . -type f)
13:42:36tucozdionoea, thanks
13:43:35linuxstbpreglow: (regarding the hw eq) I was thinking of adapting the current EQ settings screen to work with the 5g's hw eq, and then take it from there - depending on how good the hw eq turns out to be.
13:43:37filRbtw, another option (yes, for works nicely) would be find . -iname *.txt -type f −−exec sed -bla 'bla' {} \;
13:43:58tucozfilR, cool. I'll try that as well
13:44:15linuxstbAlways 1001 ways in Unix to do the same thing....
13:44:19filRtucoz: the result should, hopefully, be the same. but np.
13:44:21amiconnlinuxstb: Why not just use the hw eq for treble and bass?
13:44:44MikachufilR: in zsh you can do sed -i s/whatever// **/*.txt
13:45:07dionoea_workneat, i didn't know about **
13:45:12filRMikachu: now if i could only stop being lazy and install zsh. ;)

13:45:57preglowlinuxstb: well, it's probably decent, but the limited selection of cutoff frequencies is a bit annoying
13:46:21linuxstbWould it give us reasonable bass/treble settings?

13:48:24tucozwell, I didn't get an error so you are probably right
13:49:11preglowlinuxstb: can't remember the exact settings from the datasheet, so i dunno
13:49:32filRhm, yeah, could be -exec. linux command parameters are always annoyingly unique.
13:50:34dionoea_workfind options just don't use the regular shortops/longops scheme ... must be some historical reason
13:50:38linuxstbpreglow: What cut-off frequencies would you suggest for bass/treble? The choices for band 1 seem to be 80Hz/105Hz/135Hz and 175Khz, and for band 5: 5.3Khz/6.9Khz/9Khz/11.7KHz. You can adjust the gain in 1dB steps from -1db to +12db or -12db in each band.
13:51:26preglowdepends on the filter type. i think 105 sounds nice if it's an ordinary 2 pole shelving filter
13:51:41preglowfor the upper one, god knows
13:51:41BagderfilR: find predates linux
13:51:56preglowneeds testing anyway
13:52:23rconanfilR: if you notice old things like gcc dont either
13:52:25linuxstbThat's why I think I would like to write a test patch giving users with better ears than me the chance to experiment with it.
13:52:38filRBagder: that doens't make the parameter options much easier. :)

13:54:46*dan_a does a bigger dance
13:54:58BagderI advocate using xargs instead of -exec anyway

13:55:40linuxstbagabus: It's "hard" because it reformats your disk. "ipodpatcher -w 1 bootpartition.bin" is easier.
13:55:41preglowsure
13:55:48preglowwhen do you wake the cop anyway?
13:56:19agabuslinuxstb - fair enough. it's just i have my bootpartition.bin file on another hard-drive and it would take me a while to plug in that hard-drive and do that
13:57:06dan_apreglow: I put it to sleep just after remapping, and then I wake it manually from a debug menu

14:01:35*linuxstb dreads the time when we need to make all ipod users upgrade their bootloader....
14:02:06dan_aI think it will (though with the COP switched on)
14:03:24preglowlinuxstb: ugh
14:07:00dionoea_workcan't you just switch the COP on after the bootloader ? (i really don't have a clue about how that works)
14:07:03dan_aIt's probably best, if we do use COP code to make it detect in the firmware if the COP can be controlled, so nothing breaks if you've not changed your bootloader
14:07:50dan_adionoea_work: You *can*, but you don't know what the COP is going to be running if you do that
14:08:12rconana lot of ipod users could be using the ipodlinux ipodloader2
14:08:19rconanwhat effect would that have?
14:08:24dionoea_workwhy don't you know ?
14:08:40amiconnDoes that mean you can't switch the cop on & off at will, and still know what code it is running?
14:08:53dan_arconan: The IPL bootloader will need to be changed too
14:09:08rconanwhat is the change?
14:09:39rconanand what effect could it have on the ipl code
14:09:54rconanits a major change your suggesting
14:11:12rconansurely the ipl team wouldnt want to change something in their bootloader if it might effect how it loads ipl and the native fw
14:11:31dan_adionoea_work: I'm a bit unsure on the details, but the addresses where code gets run from is changed by the bootloader, and without the change the COP won't know that
14:11:33linuxstbrconan: No - it's just the Rockbox loading feature that needs to be changed.
14:11:43rconanah ok
14:11:52linuxstb(which I wrote for them anyway...)
14:12:00dionoea_workdan_a: and i guess that this is impossible to do afterwards in rockbox ?
14:12:00rconani didnt realise there was a special rockbox loading feature
14:12:39dan_aamiconn: You can switch the COP on and off at will, but if you relocate code while it's asleep, there may be unexpected results

14:15:39*amiconn wonders how the COP wakeup is done
14:16:20dan_aYou write a wakeup command to the COP controller
14:16:30linuxstbdan_a: So both cores are now executing the memory remapping code?
14:16:44linuxstbAnd the COP then puts itself to sleep after the remapping is done?

15:36:24tucozhmm, would GPL be possible to use on the manual?
15:36:39tucozor is the Creative Commons licence our best bet so far?
15:37:39BagderI'm not very good at the docs licenses
15:37:50Bagderbut yes, it should be possible to use the GPL
15:37:54Bagderif even a bit uncommon
15:38:22tucozYes, but we do use 'source-code' for the manual. And we could definitley benefit from people enhancing that
15:39:01tucozI am not sure the Creative Commons licence gives us the right to use the source-material (I have to look that up).
15:40:50tucozbut if the source code is licence under that, I would assume that enhancements would also be licenced under that same licence.
15:41:32dan_atucoz: Why not licence the text of the manual as CC, and the source code as GPL?
15:41:57tucozdan_a, I am not really sure where the difference is
15:43:04tucozdan_a, if the source code for the manual is licenced as GPL, what licence would the pdf/html manual get?

16:22:09FebsI was thinking this morning that it would be useful to set the default directory for Rockbox.
16:22:58FebsFor example, many people have a "music" directory, and it would be convenient to have Rockbox boot into /music, or return to /music when follow playlist is set to off.
16:23:34FebsPersonally, I'd like to have Rockbox start in /settings, where I have a number of config files stored for various applications (car.cfg, headphones.cfg, etc.)
16:23:38amiconnWhat would be the advantage of having a "music" directory?
16:23:54Mikachuto not mix up music with other things?
16:24:29amiconnWhat other things would that be? The main purpose of a music player is playing music....
16:24:34S0apyea, having 800 albums in the root directory is a mess
16:24:36FebsI'm just saying that some people organize their music that way. Plus, IIRC, the H300 series automatically creates such a directory in the iriver firmware, so I suspect most H300 users have that structure.
16:24:59Mikachui have /pics, /lyrics, /audiobooks, /notes, /playlists, /games, /sudoku
16:25:05amiconnAn extra dir level just doesn't make sense to me...
16:25:25S0aphow many albums do you have in your root, amiconn?
16:25:31amiconnNone
16:25:48Mikachualso fat has a limit on how many entries you can have in /, but we probably won't hit that
16:25:50amiconnI have structured my music into /style/artist/album
16:26:06Mikachuthen we have the same number of levels, i don't have style/
16:26:23*S0ap likes to think most of his music defies genre/style classifications :)
16:26:25amiconn...with style being a coarse categorisation related to genre
16:26:45linuxstbI have my audio files split into "music", "comedy" and "bootlegs" (which I like to keep separate from my studio albums in /music) If I had any audiobooks, I would keep those separate as well.
16:26:49FebsEven so, the ability to boot into a /settings directory would be an easy way to select a certain configuration. It would (indirectly) address the concern of people who think Rockbox should boot into the WPS so they can adjust volume before playing music.
16:27:13amiconnGenre is too fine-grained for me; I just have 12 "styles"
16:27:17Febs(Note that I am NOT suggesting that Rockbox should start anywhere but the file browser.)
16:27:20linuxstbHow about just remembering the last folder you were navigating in?
16:27:24S0apFebs - so are you thinking a hardcoded default directory, or a user-configurable default? For I'd not like the former.
16:28:00Febslinuxstb: I thought about that, but it would not address my /settings idea.
16:28:43FebsS0ap: No, not a hardcoded directory. I was thinking more there could be an selection in the folder context menu for "Set as default."
16:28:54amiconnFebs: What about (a) just using 'manage settings' or (b, like I do) keep some .cfg files in the root?
16:28:59Mikachuisn't it a bit difficult to save a path string in the config block? or is there plenty of space?
16:29:13amiconnMikachu: No there isn't
16:29:18linuxstbI can't see a problem with a user-configurable default startup directory. But I think it needs to wait for the switch to .cfg files. (as Mikachu just said...)
16:29:23linuxstb(and amiconn...)
16:29:46Febsamiconn: convenience.
16:30:35FebsFiles stored in the root display under folders in the root, so it requires a number of keypresses to get to them, or to get to browse .cfg files.
16:30:45Mikachupress up instead of down
16:30:47amiconnJust press Up once...
16:30:57linuxstbIMO Rockbox is all about giving the user control over their own DAP... I agree that we need to control the number of features and settings, but we also shouldn't say no to every suggestion, which seems to be the default response nowadays...
16:31:42Febsamiconn: that works only if your config files are the only files in the root (or the last of the files in the root).
16:32:13FebsMy idea would allow a user to select a custom configuration at startup with as few as one button press.
16:32:16amiconnMaybe a default startup directory might be useful in some situations, but we also have to keep more than just one eye at (a) code size. (b) option bloat
16:32:34dionoea_worki second the "change default folder" option
16:32:37amiconnMore and more options also make rockbox more difficult to operate
16:33:41amiconnAfter switching to .cfg files, implementing this default dir idea shouldn't be too complex though
16:33:57S0ap"default" directory could be one of those features which ships set to root, and only gets changed if someone opens up the .cfg file in their text editor, reads the comment on what it does, and decides to change it.
16:34:04FebsI'm well aware of ease of operation issue, considering that I've written a large part of the 100+ page manual and answered a gazillion questions in the forums. ;)
16:34:25amiconnSame goes for the recording dir then. Currently there's just the choice between current dir and /recordings ... rather inconvenient e.g. on Ondio
16:34:28goffawow... that x5 lcd code must have been a mess...
16:34:42S0apthere is no reason features such as that need to be part of the average user's learning curve.
16:34:53goffaseems like every day since the feature freeze they've optimized the code in some way
16:36:18S0apso that addresses option bloat in my mind, but I could see where code size is still a very real issue.

16:39:14dionoea_workand have fun with the second step ? :)
16:39:37amiconnThe second step will improve jpeg viewing...
16:39:58FebsS0ap: I suppose another way to do it could be to have the default path in a text file in the .rockbox directory. Check for that filename, if it exists, make it the default, else default to root.
16:40:45dionoea_workisn't that the same as putting it in the configuration ?
16:41:35Febssame idea, but it avoids the problem of path string in the .cfg file.
16:42:06linuxstbPath string in the .cfg file is easy. Paths in the current binary config sector are troublesome.
16:42:21FebsI misspoke.
16:43:00dionoea_workbtw, is it planned to move the config to some file instead of a hidden disk sector ?
16:43:28linuxstbEveryone seems to agree it's a good idea, but afaik, no-one is currently working on it.
16:43:38fliegenderfroschI've got a problem: i downloaded rockbox a few days ago and installed it on my iriver h140. the installation went well, but I experienced problems with a few songs i tried to play. Rockbox won't play them, shows an other song of the directory in the wps and won't play any song until it's rebooted. Today i upgraded rockbox to the daily build but nothing changed. Has anyone any idee how to solve this problem? With the original firmwa
16:43:41S0apor...how hard would it be to make a computer-side reader/writer for the disk sector?

16:44:21S0ap.me runs off to see what sector is what.
16:44:26linuxstbS0ap: Why would that help? It would be tricky because the sector has a different format for every target (depending upon the enabled features and settings).
16:44:27amiconnS0ap: The problem is that it's just a sector, nothing suitable for storing longish paths
16:44:37dionoea_worklinuxstb: i'll give it a try then ... and post a patch on the tracker for discussion
16:45:17dionoea_workwould the config file be a different format than the .cfg files ? or can we just use one of those ? (or maybe we want to keep it binary ?)
16:45:21linuxstbdionoea: One of the issues is the delayed-writing of the settings - the config sector has a special place in Rockbox, and is written to disk only when the disk spins up.
16:45:35dionoea_workok
16:45:51amiconnsome settings need to stay binary
16:46:17S0aplinuxstb - As to why...I assumed (cough) that allowing manual editing of infrequently changed settings would do more for preventing bloat than creating the structure to change such settings on the DAP.
16:46:19amiconn...but they should go to a file as well, if no special binary storage is available on the target
16:46:47 Quit petur ("worrrk")
16:46:52linuxstbS0ap: OK. But that wouldn't deal with the extra code needed to implement those settings.
16:47:00S0aptrue
16:47:02dionoea_workso like base64 encode the binary settings ? (btw, which settings need to stay binary ?)
16:48:34amiconnNo... the binary settings I mean need to stay binary for several reasons. (a) cumbersome to convert to ascii. (b) they're accessed frequently, so access should be fast. (c) Storing them in a .cfg would be a bad idea because they're rather dynamic things

16:50:11amiconndionoea: That's not the only issue
16:50:23JdGordonamiconn: wasnt it you who said the plan was to goto a text based config system without the hard disk block?
16:50:33amiconnIf it were, we could have switched a long time ago
16:50:40linuxstbfliegenderfrosch: Did you enable id3 tags in grip?
16:50:40amiconnJdGordon: Yes
16:51:00JdGordonso now its not?
16:51:15amiconnIt is
16:51:23amiconnI just say it's not trivial
16:51:29fliegenderfroschlinuxstb: at the moment: yes; when i ripped these tracks: i don't know
16:51:42fliegenderfroschprobably yes
16:52:28linuxstbid3 tags don't belong in Ogg files, so grip shouldn't give you the option to do them. I'm guessing that if you either remove the tags, or re-rip with that option disabled, they'll work.
16:52:30dionoea_workamiconn: what other problems would there be ? access would still be fast since the config is kept into RAM at runtime (or if it isn't it would)
16:53:50amiconnConfig is updated frequently in RAM, and written to disk at the next spinup or at shutdown
16:55:42dionoea_workwell maybe we could split it into config stuff set by the user (doesn't change a lot) and rockbox core changes (frequent)
16:55:48dionoea_workor into sub categories
16:55:59dionoea_workand only write what needs to
16:56:52fliegenderfroschlinuxstb: if i disable id3-tags, are oggs tagged with a special "ogg-tag"?
16:57:51markunfliegenderfrosch: yes, called 'vorbis comments'
16:58:08Mikachuthat is sort of strange though, aren't they saved on the ogg container level?
16:58:23markunno, I don't think they are
17:00
17:00:29fliegenderfroschok. is there an easy way of removing id3 tags of ~4000 songs? and will other programs and the original firmware be able to read the ogg tags?
17:01:38Mikachui have never ever heard of id3 tags on ogg files
17:02:00linuxstbYes, Ogg vorbis players should all support vorbis comments - it's part of the Ogg spec.

17:06:39Bagderisn't a HW shutdown the more likely scenario to cause trouble
17:06:43amiconnToday, when the player runs out of power, resume takes you back to the point of last succesful spinup
17:06:46dionoea_workso basically you'd write it every time the disk spins up ? or like every time the disk spins up and battery is less than 5% full ?
17:07:08amiconnEvery time the disk spins up.
17:07:13linuxstbBut the last disk access could be a number of tracks before the currently playing one on swcodec (and especially the 60GB 5g).
17:07:24Mikachuwhat is the definition of disk spinup on flash players?
17:07:26amiconnThis also protects the resume info against rockbox freeze as much as possible

17:08:52LinusNS0ap: non-graceful battery death is an issue on all rockbox targets

18:34:45preglowFebs: that pretty much implies we should quantise the center freqs to coincide with the plot grid, otherwise the peak on a narrow enough filter might not even show up completely
18:35:15FebsOne possible button configuration for #1: Left/right: select EQ band | select/navi button: select parameter | up/down: adjust selected parameter
18:35:21preglowFebs: if we go for the first one, that is
18:35:43preglowthe first one actually seems to be the nicest too
18:35:54FebsI prefer that one as well.
18:36:09Terinjokescan i play video in rockbox?

18:38:23preglowFebs: actually, that isn't entirely unfeasible, no. that would leave us with about 160 possible frequencies, logarithmically spaced to our choice
18:38:50preglowFebs: one "problem" would be that frequency granularity would be lcd size dependent, but i don't know how much i care about that
18:39:07Terinjokesthe apple firmwire doesn't support videos ;-)

18:39:56FebsWould it be possible to leave the frequency granularity as is and round to the nearest point on the graph for display purposes?

18:40:54amiconnpreglow: What about remote and main LCD differences?
18:41:18preglowFebs: i create the graph from the filter coefficients themselves, which would pretty much mean i need to calculate two sets of coefs, one for actual eq processing, and one for displaying
18:41:23preglowamiconn: *shrug*
18:41:42FebsMaybe text only display on the remote?
18:41:57preglowi'd be very tempted to go for that to not completely kill performance

18:42:52FebsIf the user wants to know what his EQ looks like, he/she can check the main display.

18:43:35Terinjokesjust any folder?
18:44:24preglowi guess i could also go for making eq filter specific plotting routines, but that would mean both bigger code size, less flexibility, and more important, lots more developer time for me
18:44:24FebsOtherwise, you'll need to make sure that the .cfg file goes in /.rockbox/themes. The .wps file goes in /.rockbox/wps. There should be a folder with the same name as the wps that goes in /.rockbox/wps/wpsname

20:18:17mirakhi
20:18:47mirakhum, on the H300 the cpu speed is dynamical or it must be set manually (in the code of course)
20:19:38mirakdoes a plugin need to set that or is it always the max cpu usage ?
20:19:46LinusNmirak: it's set by the cpu_boost() function
20:19:57dan_amirak: I think it's dynamic - at least according to firmware/export/config-h300.h
20:20:14mirakLinusN: that's new or was it always like that ?
20:20:18LinusNwhenever you need to do something cpu intensive, you call cpu_boost(true), and then cpu_boost(false) when you're done
20:20:29LinusNhas always been like that

20:23:34dionoeavideo playback ? sounds great :D
20:23:36mirakmarkun: I vaguely used it, but gained not much.
20:23:53tucozLinusN, it says that you should not switch frequency often because the tickcounter looses accuracy. Does this mean the tick timer will be way off after some hours (days) of playing tracks that needs boosting?
20:24:03mirakmarkun: I tried to use it, but it could have been far better, with more experienced coder
20:24:13mirakthe goal is still to reach 25 frames second
20:24:31mirakI am sure we could get that with uncompressed sound
20:24:35amiconntucoz: No, it's not that large an accuracy loss
20:24:35markunIs that the fps of the H300 firmware?
20:24:36mirak:D
20:24:37tucozLinusN, a 100 tracks will possibly be one second off?

20:42:14fraggstadoes anyone know if the USBOTG patches for the X5 were ever merged in? I can't find a clear answer searching the mailing list, and the patch doesn't really seem to work against current CVS
20:42:14tucozdionoea, flash and mplayer at the same time doesn't work
20:42:23dionoeaboth using alsa output ?
20:42:26tucoz(with sound)
20:42:26dionoeaor oss ?
20:42:29obosenab: yeah, I've noticed that too. I'll have to do a bit of digging - freqmod extended my very basic driver so it actually did something :)
20:42:30tucozno idea
20:42:33dionoeahehe

20:42:54dionoeai don't think that you can have more than one app using the oss emulation at once
20:42:56tucozdionoea, mplayer uses oss
20:43:00senabsenab: his patch doesn't seem to work for me
20:43:10dionoeamplayer should be able to use alsa
20:43:15obosenab: although I'm not sure if that section of code is going to be changing soon or not - there is a large button patch on the horizon
20:43:18tucozOk. I'll try that

20:47:08fraggstaIf I can see something in the CVS commits, but it's marked as "Patch", does that mean the patch was integrated committed into rockbox CVS, or just that they're acknowleding that the patch exists?
20:47:50senabobo: just saw in button.c there's a section regarding button_repeat with a beep(1) in the method, i'll try changing it
20:47:50dionoeacommitted into rockbox

20:52:27tucoza new experience. Two sound sources at the same time
20:52:37dionoeatucoz: might i ask what that is ? (i don't think that my flash uses alsa)
20:52:46tucozsure
20:53:20fraggstaDoes anyone else here have sound sync issues with flash? It's been driving me insane for literally years on multiple machines? (different motherboards, soundcards..)
20:53:43tucozI edited /etc/firefox/firefoxrc and changed the FIREFOX_DSP ="none" to FIREFOX_DSP="aoss"
20:53:55fraggstaI'm beginning to think Macromedia just hate Linux..
20:54:03tucozbut I needed the alsa-oss package as well.
20:54:04dionoeatucoz: neat :)
20:54:17dionoeacan it use alsa ? instead of aoss ?
20:54:59tucozthe flash player uses oss, so that is a wrapper for alsa around oss
20:55:08dionoeaok
20:55:12dionoeasounds logical
20:59:12tucozdionoea, and now I confirmed that your conf file works as well. I am running two mplayers with sound at the same time. Hats off
20:59:46dionoeayou should run two VLCs instead
20:59:54tucozhehe

21:04:12dionoeawell VLC doesn't load binary codecs like mplayer. You can load dmo codecs (wma/wmv) if you compile it yourself, nothing about real media yet
21:04:27dionoeaso that kind of sucks if you have anime mkv's with real video
21:05:00fraggstaI've completely given up on Real stuff. If it's in that format, I'm not watching it.
21:05:10dionoeawmv3 decoding now is native in ffmpeg
21:05:19dionoeaso the only thing we'll really be missing is wma3

21:05:36fraggstaI think I found a few weird container/codec combinations VLC didn't seem to like though I can't remember what they were..

21:20:27tucozAstronaut, no installation guide? have you looked in the wiki?
21:20:48fraggstalet's compare and contrast this to Ubuntu, which adopted X.Org nice and early, so I get to keep being leet - and HAL actually worked! I plug in my camera, and it appears on the desktop and says "lol this device contains photos, want to import them?" (may not be exact wording)
21:21:25tucozAstronaut, have you checked this page? http://www.rockbox.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/IaudioBoot
21:21:47Astronauttucoz: yes, I saw that one
21:22:04Astronautdidn't load :\
21:22:09tucozAstronaut, after that, download the latest daily from http://www.rockbox.org/daily.shtml and unzip that to the root of your player
21:22:16fraggstaIt has probably moved on a little since then. I really like Debian, having an actual constitutionand all that is good. Trouble is the distro doesn't progress fast, because they're too busy arguing over political issues, having elections and bickering.
21:22:37tucozAstronaut, I do not have an x5 myself. But, what went wrong?
21:22:53fraggstaand I'm sure as fuck not going run an RPM based distro or Gentoo (oh, I went there!)
21:23:07Astronautjust unzip to root? I'll try that
21:23:31tucozAstronaut, yes. That will install the files needed to get rockbox running, as long as the bootloader is in place
21:23:49Astronautsounds good
21:24:03Astronautno problem to revert to original firmware
21:24:05tucozinstalling gentoo is one of the most painful experiences in my life (not really, but close)
21:24:06Astronaut, right?
21:24:29tucozAstronaut, no. Just follow the steps on the IaudioBoot page
21:24:56tucozand after that delete the rockbox.iaudio file and the the .rockbox folder
21:25:37Astronautit was the last step of the install guide that wasn't 100% clear to me: "Proceed with installing the X5 version of Rockbox from the daily build page."

22:44:59pondlife...and you've nothing better to do!
22:45:55LinusNpondlife: what happens if you try to allocate a thumbnail buffer when audio is playing?
22:46:08pondlifeIt won't do that
22:46:26LinusNwhy not?
22:46:38pondlifeAh, it won't under MASCODEC
22:46:48LinusNsorry, i meant swcodec
22:47:28pondlifeI'll see if I can try that... it will attempt to...! (and updates audiobuf)
22:47:44LinusNkaboom :-)
22:48:02LinusNthis got me thinking a little
22:48:10pondlifeI could just allocate the buf upfront?
22:48:23pondlifeRather than trying to be clever
22:48:27pondlifeand failing
22:48:35LinusNi'm not normally that promiscuous with memory usage, but it feels simpler to just allocate the damn thing regardless
22:48:55LinusNi mean the swcodec platforms have plenty of ram anyway
22:50:20pondlifeDo you think amiconn will agree with this strategy?
22:50:23LinusNno
22:50:24LinusN:-)
22:50:40peturhehe
22:50:56LinusNbut if you use buffer_alloc() for the allocating, we can solve this in a better way later on
22:51:06pondlifeI want to use buffer_alloc, but I need alignment
22:51:15pondlifeSo that's a pre-requisite for you!
22:51:19LinusNyou didn't see my commit today?
22:51:24pondlifeAh, no
22:51:28pondlifeThanks ;-)

23:45:02BuckfastHi all
23:45:09*dan_a is trying to get his head around running threads on different processors
23:45:54fraggstaisn't synchronisation going to be a nightmare with that kind of thing? (it's bad enough with just one)
23:45:59 Part Buckfast
23:47:05dan_afraggsta: I'm not sure yet. I figure that the best way to find out is to play with it though
23:47:41fraggstaas with so many things in life..

23:50:50markundan_a: the COP can only run as fast as the main CPU or slower right?
23:51:22dan_amarkun: So I believe. I don't know how to change its speed at all

23:55:09barrywardellthat's good to hear
23:55:24Bagderhopefully to commit within a day or two
23:55:26barrywardellhopefully I went about it right
23:55:48barrywardelli updated it today to get the simulator to build
23:55:55Bagderbarrywardell: I've focused on the sansa stuff but I've tried to incorporate some of your stuff too to reduce the risk of major collisions
23:56:25amiconnyeehah! Working gamma correction for the grayscale lib :)
23:56:35markunamiconn: nice job!
23:56:36barrywardelli look forward to seeing it. i will try and adapt my stuff to your updates
23:56:38LinusNamiconn: wee
23:56:45amiconnBut the archos lcd is slightly too dark - need to measure natural gamma again
23:56:55markunamiconn: almost ready for commit?
23:57:03amiconnH1x0 is really nice now
23:57:31barrywardellBagder: how is the Sansa work coming along? any more progress?
