#rockbox log for 2006-08-07

00:02:06 Join suge [0] (i=gd@is.krazy.us)
00:02:14dionoea'night
00:03:04sugehey. Does rockbox have a "remember playback position" feature so you can pause audiobooks, podcasts, and radioshows, listen to something else, and then pick up where you left off?
00:03:15Mikachulook at the 'bookmarks' feature
00:03:21linuxstbOK, fixed it.
00:03:27sugethanks
00:03:38Mikachulinuxstb: was it #ifndef IPOD_4G\n crash(); #endif ?
00:03:45linuxstbThat was it...
00:03:52linuxstbFancy testing on your Nano?
00:03:58Mikachusure
00:04:46Mikachuvideo only?
00:05:06linuxstbhttp://www.davechapman.f2s.com/rockbox/mpegplayer.tgz
00:05:15linuxstbYes - MPEG1 or MPEG2 raw video stream.
00:05:33Mikachuyou may have to provide me with a sample file then
00:05:52Mikachudo i stick that in apps/plugins/ and add to SUBDIRS?
00:05:54linuxstbExtract that tgz to apps/plugins and add "mpegplayer" to apps/plugins/SUBDIRS and to apps/plugins/viewers.config
00:06:01Mikachuheh
00:06:48linuxstbUploading a test file for the Nano now.
00:07:00Mikachui only ever encode avi files
00:07:21linuxstbavi containing what?
00:07:39Mikachuvarious stuff, but i don't know how mpeg (de)muxing tools work
00:08:03sugeapple has ipod nano refurbs for $129. Is That a good deal?
00:08:17Mikachuwhat size?
00:08:46suge2gb
00:08:54linuxstbYou can demux easily using mplayer - mplayer -dumpvideo -dumpfile video.m2v file.avi (if the AVI file contains mpeg video...)

00:09:04Mikachuah
00:09:18Mikachubut i would have to scale it for the nano screen too
00:09:45linuxstbYes, to a multiple of 16x16 - so 176x128
00:09:48*BHSPitMonkey 's ears perk up at talk of video playback in #rockbox
00:09:57linuxstbBut anyway, a test is here: http://www.davechapman.f2s.com/rockbox/testnano.zip (about 10MB)
00:10:36linuxstbBHSPitMonkey: Yes, hell's frozen over.
00:10:51Mikachuokay, testing now
00:10:56Mikachuer, soon
00:10:58Mikachudisk full
00:11:10*S0ap rather liked it when the noob question could more simply be answered "Boot Apple Firmware"
00:11:12amiconnlinuxstb: What about the greyscale targets? Does the decoder allow to skip chroma decoding completely?
00:11:20*petur thanks Bagder and says goodnight
00:11:30 Quit petur ("Zzzz")
00:11:45BHSPitMonkeylinuxstb, I'll go fetch my coat :D
00:11:46linuxstbI was thinking about that, but haven't looked at the decoder to see. Hopefully it should be easy to disable.
00:12:04BHSPitMonkeyhow does it do on your photo?
00:12:46BHSPitMonkey@ linuxstb
00:13:09Mikachulinuxstb: it just said "Loading" and dropped me back to the filebrowser, i'll try again with plain cvs
00:13:49linuxstbNot that impressive - a 224x176 MPEG-2 file is decoding at around 10fps-11fps - but there's lots of scope for optimisations.
00:14:22Mikachuactually i'll just change plugin_get_audio_buffer to plugin_get_buffer
00:14:48Mikachuokay, and now i'll try cvs
00:15:38linuxstbMikachu: Ah, you will also want to reduce the size of BUFFER_SIZE in mpegplayer.c - your test file is less than 10MB, so you can set it to that. It currently attempts to malloc 25MB.
00:16:07 Join thebug [0] (n=thebug@unaffiliated/thebug)
00:16:39Mikachuhooray, that did it
00:16:40Mikachuno cvs for me
00:17:14Mikachu20fps
00:18:18Mikachu20.4 if it matters
00:18:24Mikachuup and down a bit
00:18:29linuxstbNice.
00:18:49Mikachuwhat am i looking at?
00:19:37linuxstbStacy's Mom by Fountains of Wayne... It's the only 4:3 video I had lying around.

00:19:52Mikachuand you know this already of course, but -vf field would have been nice here
00:20:03linuxstbYes, I've spotted the interlacing...
00:20:36linuxstbYou can probably try decreasing the bitrate as well - could push up the fps.
00:20:48Mikachudo you read the whole file into ram?
00:21:30Mikachuyou don't have to on the nano at least, playback started after 3 seconds
00:21:31linuxstbIt reads BUFFER_SIZE at a time. So for these test files, yes.
00:21:38Mikachuah okay
00:21:51Mikachuno exit button yet
00:21:52 Nick kclaf is now known as kclaf47 (i=kclaf@crj95-3-82-237-150-15.fbx.proxad.net)
00:22:12linuxstbI think a proper player would use one processor for video decoding, and the other for reading data from disk and decoding the audio.
00:22:45linuxstbAnd no, no exit button...
00:22:57Mikachuhm, any reason select+play shouldn't trigger the normal softoff? (normally just play but you know me)
00:23:23linuxstbYes, because it doesn't read the events from the button queue.
00:23:41linuxstb(and then call the default-handler for SYS_POWEROFF)
00:24:21 Join arow [0] (n=arow@arow.broekut.nl)
00:24:32arowhi
00:25:12arowuploading to my ipod nano is really really slow
00:25:17arow( 0,30 MB/s)
00:25:23arowthats USB 1.1 speed
00:25:38arowdoes anybody know why it is so slow?
00:26:14linuxstbApple made it that way.
00:26:28Mikachuarow: you have to boot apple's os first, it's a nano-specific bug/feature
00:26:36Mikachulinuxstb: and this was mpeg2?
00:26:42linuxstbMikachu: Yes.
00:26:47Mikachumight mpeg1 be faster?
00:26:59linuxstbI thought so, but in my tests, it was the same.
00:27:10linuxstbBut feel free to experiment with different files.
00:27:15Mikachuwhat do you use to encode mpeg?
00:27:25 Join midkay [0] (n=midkay@rockbox/developer/midkay)
00:27:25linuxstbI use mpeg2enc from mjpegtools.
00:27:28Mikachuah
00:27:38arowMikachu: when i tried the apple disc mode it is faster
00:27:48Mikachuarow: yes
00:27:55arowMikachu: why?
00:27:56linuxstbBut that's mainly because it's the best encoder I've found for generating DVD-compliant files. For Rockbox, something else may be better.
00:28:32Mikachuarow: like linuxstb said, that's the way it's built
00:28:41arowMikachu: is there a way rockbox automatic boots apples disc mode?
00:28:55Paul_The_NerdIt already does automatically boot to their emergency disk mode.
00:29:07Mikachuarow: not yet
00:29:19Paul_The_NerdYou could modify the code so that it automatically boots into the retail firmware instead, but that requires a manual reboot once you disconnect to get back into Rockbox. Not ideal.
00:29:27arowMikachu: that will solve the problem easily
00:29:32Paul_The_NerdIt won't solve the problem
00:29:36Paul_The_NerdIt just changes what the problem is.
00:29:40MikachuPaul_The_Nerd: you can hack around that
00:29:59Paul_The_NerdMikachu: You can make the Apple firmware reboot to Rockbox on disconnect?
00:30:02Mikachuyes
00:30:04jhMikeSwhat's this about an MPEG player now?
00:30:05Paul_The_NerdHow?
00:30:06arowPaul_The_Nerd: you are right, but it is easy for nano users
00:30:21Paul_The_Nerdarow: Well, here's the deal: Rockbox on Nano doesn't have users. Only testers.
00:30:34Paul_The_NerdRight now the current method is a lot simpler for people actually doing work on it.
00:30:34MikachuPaul_The_Nerd: on linux, echo -n '{' > /dev/$IPOD will make it reboot after unmount because it thinks it has a new firmware written to it
00:30:48Paul_The_NerdMikachu: That's not a universal solution then. It depends on the computer being set up to deal with it.
00:30:50Mikachui made a 'ipodeject' script
00:31:01Paul_The_NerdI thought you meant there was a way to make the iPod itself deal with it.
00:31:10Mikachuyes, hence my use of the word 'hack' :)
00:31:20Paul_The_NerdWell, it could be an iPod-side hack. :-P
00:31:51Mikachui guess if you can find the piece of code that checks if firmware was written and reboots, and reverse the check it will have the wanted effect
00:31:58Mikachubut that is beyond me
00:32:24Paul_The_NerdI don't transfer lots of files to my Nano enough for it to matter.
00:33:05arowPaul_The_Nerd: but that also doesn't solve the problem :)
00:33:16Paul_The_Nerdarow: I didn't say it did.
00:33:24Paul_The_NerdThe solution for the problem is for Apple to fix the bugs in their firmware.
00:33:39S0apha
00:33:41Paul_The_NerdOr for Rockbox to have its own USB mode, which is unlikely to be soon without more information.
00:34:07arowbut i don't know why it is a fault of apple, the apple software is faster..?
00:34:19S0aparow - apple
00:34:30Paul_The_Nerdarow: You're missing the fact that they're BOTH the Apple software
00:34:33S0ap's own disk mode is the 1.1 speeds you see.
00:34:35Paul_The_Nerdarow: As I've said already.
00:34:50arowyes, now i understand, thank you
00:34:55Paul_The_Nerdarow: We boot into the emergency disk mode, because once you're done with that, it can automatically reboot you back into Rockbox. Very handy for developers.
00:34:56*S0ap grumbles about the placement of the '/" key.
00:35:03Mikachulinuxstb: i'm a bit tired, what range of bitrates is good for this res?
00:35:11Paul_The_NerdAnd on all the iPods except the Nano, it's fine.
00:35:17S0ap400 would be about SVCD equiz.
00:35:26S0ap*equiv.
00:35:30Mikachuon some nanos it's also fine
00:35:32arowi just having bad luck :)
00:35:36linuxstbI think that test file I gave you was about 370kbps
00:35:45S0apif you were using B frames...
00:35:52Paul_The_NerdMikachu: So far, what, two of them?

00:46:10linuxstbJust today.
00:46:13Mikachuheh
00:47:28jhMikeSX5 or no?
00:48:14linuxstbYes, it should work.
00:48:35 Join MossImo [0] (n=MossImo@d154-20-147-236.bchsia.telus.net)
00:49:02Paul_The_NerdAnything with a color screen, right?
00:49:34linuxstbIt seems very slow on Coldfire at the moment. Without the yuv2rgb conversion (i.e. decoding only, no display), my h140 is only managing about 21fps on a 176x128 test file at 124MHz.
00:49:44linuxstbThis is probably because there's almost no IRAM use.
00:49:46Mikachuit doesn't like the files avidemux2 produces
00:49:54Mikachuevery other second the whole picture just blurs
00:50:06linuxstbIs it a raw MPEG video stream? What does "file" tell you?
00:50:18Mikachui did the mencoder command you said and got an identical file
00:50:25Mikachutest.mpg: MPEG sequence, v1, progressive Y'CbCr 4:2:0 video, 29.97 fps, Constrained
00:51:12Mikachuand i selected 'mpeg video' as output in avidemux
00:51:18Mikachuand it plays back correctly in mplayer
00:51:23jhMikeShmmm...where does it do the conversion? Yuv->rgb and put it in a buffer?
00:51:29Mikachubrb
00:51:29linuxstbEverything plays back correctly in mplayer :)
00:51:47linuxstbjhMikeS: Yes, there's no real optimisation yet.
00:51:57jhMikeSI can see. :)
00:52:21linuxstbIt does the yuv2rgb conversion and copying to the lcd framebuffer in one function. lcd_update() then transfers the framebuffer to the lcd.
00:52:26jhMikeSWas gonna try to get it to compile then mess with some stuff
00:52:59linuxstbYou can try disabling the call to yuv_bitmap_part() and see what fps you get without that function.
00:53:08linuxstb(in video_out_rockbox.c)
00:53:31linuxstbBut as I said, it's only 21fps on my H140 - so I would expect the same on the X5.
00:53:43linuxstb...with that function disabled.
00:54:03jhMikeSGotta parse it into separate files yet or is there an easier way?
00:54:27linuxstbYes, it just accepts a raw video stream - MPEG1 or MPEG2.
00:55:35 Join sven_ [0] (n=sven@port-212-202-193-252.dynamic.qsc.de)
00:55:37jhMikeSlinuxstb: I gotta separate out all the files by hand? :(
00:56:14linuxstbI would use a program to do it, but if you want to use a hex editor...
00:58:11jhMikeSI got the source open in a text editor all bunched together. WinRar just opens it and show one file "mpegplayer"
00:58:47Mikachuthen i would suggest using another program
00:59:24jhMikeSOk, I'm dumb, should I just use GZIP from the Linux cl?
00:59:35linuxstbAh, you're talking about the source? "tar zxvf mpegplayer.tgz" will work.
00:59:42jhMikeSyes!
00:59:52Mikachuheh, it probably gave you the tar file
00:59:59linuxstb:)
01:00
01:00:29jhMikeSI think it was missnames just .gz and not .tar.gz or .tgz
01:00:50linuxstbThe mpegplayer directory goes in apps/plugins/. Then add "mpegplayer" to apps/plugins/SUBDIRS and an entry for mpegplayer to apps/plugins/viewers.config
01:01:06jhMikeSI just renamed the extension to "tgz" and WinRar opened it fine.

01:10:34linuxstbyuv4mpeg :)
01:11:00linuxstbMy pipeline for that test file was: mpeg2dec -s -o pgmpipe < /video1/FOW/stacy_original.vob | pgmtoy4m -r 25:1 -a 4:3 | y4mscaler -O size=176x128 | mpeg2enc -a 2 -f 8 -q 6 -D 10 -E -10 -K tmpgenc -4 1 -2 1 -o stacys-176x128.m2v
01:11:38Mikachuhrm
01:12:58linuxstbDo you have mpeg2dec ? That could be useful to test the files that don't work with my mpegplayer - mpeg2dec also uses libmpeg2
01:13:30 Part barrywardell
01:14:11Mikachuwhat do you do if the source is avi?
01:14:52linuxstbI never reencode AVIs - normally MPEG-2 transport streams (captured from DVB broadcasts).
01:14:55jhMikeSadd mpegplayer right by databox
01:15:14Mikachuwell, this is a special case
01:15:54linuxstbMikachu: I'm not the best person to ask about video re-encoding. I always like to keep the original, in whatever format it is.
01:16:15Mikachuokay
01:16:53linuxstbjhMikeS: Personally, I've got it next to pacbox (in the same #if)
01:17:03Mikachudo you know how to do single field extraction in the above pipeline?
01:18:13linuxstbNo, sorry.
01:18:14jhMikeSNot a damn clue! =) I'm just getting familiar with linux.
01:18:24jhMikeSoh different comment, oops
01:18:45Mikachuwell, i have a progressive mpeg2 video lying around luckily :)
01:20:09jhMikeSWhat extensions? I've got m2v there, mpeg too?. Do you need the extra 6 bytes of data? What's that, just a header sig?
01:20:12Mikachulinuxstb: what if the input is already a video stream?
01:20:20Mikachulooks like a video stream, not system stream
01:20:25Mikachuit says that repeatedly
01:20:43Mikachuwait i think i got it :)
01:20:51linuxstbjhMikeS: I've just put .m2v in viewers.config. The six numbers are an icon - just copy another entry, or use zeros.
01:21:04linuxstbMikachu: Just remove the -s option.
01:21:09Mikachui tried that but no dice
01:21:27linuxstbWhat does "file" say on your input?
01:21:30jhMikeSThanks. Ends up in viewer or rocks?
01:21:31Mikachuambitious.m2v: MPEG sequence, v2, MP@ML interlaced Y'CbCr 4:2:0 video, CCIR/ITU NTSC 525, 4:3, 29.97 fps
01:21:35MikachujhMikeS: viewer
01:21:38Mikachus
01:21:41jhMikeS!
01:22:08linuxstbMikachu: Looks like an elementary stream to me... If you just type "mpeg2dec ambitious.m2v", does it play it?

01:27:40thebuganyone know if (when the bootloader is closer to ready) the irivier H10 20GB US version will support usb-mass-storage without doing stupid reset + o-on-poweron tricks?
01:28:46linuxstbRockbox won't be able to implement its own UMS mode on the H10 in the near future, so you'll have to use whatever the iriver firmware gives you.
01:29:22Paul_The_Nerdthebug: Until there's documentation or further reverse engineering of the PortalPlayer chip, it's pretty much impossible for us to implement a USB mode for Rockbox itself.
01:30:00thebugok, so here's a further question ... as long as I can use the ums that's built in, will I be able to use the normal play library stuff in rockbox w/o browsing for each file (like I have to when I use ums to load media onto it) ?
01:30:35Paul_The_NerdRockbox won't use the iRiver's library.
01:30:41linuxstbI've no idea how the H10 firmware works, but it sounds like you could use tagcache in Rockbox.
01:30:47thebugok, that's cool
01:30:51Paul_The_NerdBut Rockbox can index the files itself with a scan, and show you them by Aritst/Album/Genre
01:31:02thebugI've just not used rockbox on a player before, so I'm not 100% on what it does and does not do
01:31:23thebugexcellent, that's exactly what I'm looking for ... thanks Paul_The_Nerd

02:52:28tommeyerHi, just starting rockbox dev, and trying to work out basic debugging stuff in the simulator. Why doesn't printf show up when I'm using the sim?
02:53:10tommeyerand is there some other way to log debugging info?
02:54:09linuxstbYou can use DEBUBF() in the sim - it works the same as printf.
02:54:19tommeyerthanks
02:54:19linuxstbDEBUGF()
02:54:43safetydanyou can also attach gdb if you really want to get in to debugging :)
02:55:48tommeyerI've been trying to get it working well with gdb, but how do you use configure to build with debugging info?
02:56:44linuxstbI think debugging info is turned on by default in the sim. Or you can modify the Makefile created in your build directory.
02:57:24tommeyersomehow gdb can't find line numbers, etc., when I'm running sim.
02:58:12safetydanit's on by default and works for me
02:58:24safetydanso... not sure what's going for you
02:58:29tommeyerOK. thanks. I'll poke at it a bit more.
03:00
03:01:12_jhMikeS_somewhere deep inside the decoder actually writes the YUV components when decoding the blocks but I'm kinda lost at the moment. know where?
03:02:01amiconn_jhMikeS_: I think it won't be possible to go without intermediate arrays for the yuv data
03:02:29amiconnIf mpeg works similar to jpeg wrt color components (and I think it does), the components are encoded separately,
03:03:32amiconnand so the colour components for a pixel are decoded at different times
03:03:35_jhMikeS_they'd have to be IRAM but I probably is ok if they're separate.
03:03:46_jhMikeS_do they have to be?
03:03:55_jhMikeS_or can it be interleaved
03:04:44amiconnI thought you were looking for a way to remove the intermediate storage, which I think is impossible
03:05:08_jhMikeS_I'm getting to that but it's long path. I have to understand this well first.
03:06:20_jhMikeS_It decodes zig-zaggy, right? Maybe an 8x8 block would be enough
03:06:44***Saving seen data "./dancer.seen"
03:08:40 Part BigMac
03:09:37tommeyerYeah, it decodes zig-zaggy, into Y, Cb and Cr blocks.
03:11:16linuxstbDoesn't it also need to buffer complete previous/future frames, in order to decode the P and B frames?
03:11:25_jhMikeS_1 row of 8x8 blocks might work interleaved Y,Cb,Cr to increase locality.
03:11:57_jhMikeS_Is that the buffer it acually uses? Anyway, there should be no RGB buffer at least.
03:12:19amiconnlinuxstb: Different Q - would pacbox work with the greyscale lib on the greyscale ipods?
03:12:34linuxstbamiconn: Shouldn't be hard - it needs 16 colours.
03:12:56amiconnIt works on the H1x0...
03:12:58_jhMikeS_18 would probably be faster for the x5
03:13:04_jhMikeS_18bits
03:13:19amiconn_jhMikeS_: 18bits will most probably be slower on X5
03:13:26amiconn...for everything
03:13:38linuxstb_jhMikeS_: Internally, libmpeg2 is only yuv. The code that you commented out (and still only got around 15fps) is the only yuv2rgb code in the player.
03:13:39_jhMikeS_The driver must pack it AGAIN to make it 18-bit to be sent over the bus
03:13:45amiconnyes
03:14:02amiconnBut if you want to avoid bitshifting, you would have to make the framebuffer 32bit
03:14:13_jhMikeS_that is very bad. It's no problem to just pack to 18bit
03:14:24_jhMikeS_the YUV buffer?
03:14:34amiconneh?
03:14:45tommeyeris anyone working on Java or Flash support in rockbox?
03:14:57linuxstbtommeyer: Don't think so.
03:15:43amiconnThe yuv data is usually 8bit precision
03:15:52_jhMikeS_It should pack into xxxxxxxrrrrrrggg and xxxxxxxgggbbbbbb
03:16:14amiconnYou can do that if you're going to write directly to the lcd
03:16:19_jhMikeS_8-bit per component correct.
03:16:27amiconnThe maths itself won't become very different
03:16:37_jhMikeS_amiconn: that's the plan

03:17:14_jhMikeS_True...most of the time is spent decoding
03:17:30linuxstbIt could also be worth trying to get other mpeg decoders working, to see how they perform against libmpeg2.
03:17:52tommeyeris most of the time spent in DCT, or in other parts of the decoding, Mike?
03:17:59_jhMikeS_I got ffmpeg and core pocket in my list
03:18:09amiconnlinuxstb: Hmpf, the 0.5x scaling in pacbox doesn't fit the mini lcd :(
03:18:24_jhMikeS_tommeyer: I'm just getting to learning this...I really have no idea. Sorry.
03:19:28amiconnOh, I thought pacbox would use the grayscale lib...
03:19:38amiconn...but it doesn't seem to
03:19:50linuxstbNo, it doesn't. I think I misunderstood your question...
03:20:08linuxstbI meant that getting pacbox to work in general with the greyscale lib should be straightforward.
03:20:37amiconnprobably
03:21:27linuxstbThe rotate-and-scale operation is the bottleneck on most targets though, so it benefits from assembler.
03:23:07tommeyerit seems that a set of math & geom xform libraries would be of benefit, so fast cos and sin, etc are implemented once
03:23:09amiconnThe grayscale lib eats some more cpu power...

04:44:52Mikachui offer no support for getting it working
04:46:05ShadowdogMUHehe, I'll wait for it to go mainstream
04:48:07tommeyertrying to get it to work on my ipod video right now, but i'm still feeling my way around the whole dev't process...
04:48:32Mikachui will not be surprised if it finds its way into one of those crazy 'experimental' builds
04:49:40ShadowdogMUI want video support
04:49:49ShadowdogMUit's one of 2 things that keeps me from using Rockbox fulltime
04:49:54ShadowdogMUthe other is iTrip support
04:49:58Mikachualso let me point out it's only video, and only mpeg1/2, no audio yet
04:50:24Paul_The_NerdWhy not just get an FM transmitter that isn't locked to the iPod?
04:51:13ShadowdogMUI dunno, aesthetics mostly
04:51:50Paul_The_NerdSo, looking pretty is more important than saving money and better playback. Good stuff.

09:18:07Slasherihmm, how?
09:18:31Slasherii wonder if it works now :)
09:18:47peturit didn't work for me until i changed it
09:19:11peturlemme check
09:19:13Slasherihmm, so you "fixed" a non-working driver by inverting the return value? :D
09:20:17peturoh oh...
09:20:38Slasherihehe :)
09:20:54peturI must have confused it with the sw_i2c_xxx calls :(
09:21:04peturaaargh
09:21:10Slasheritrue, they return a different type of value..
09:21:31Slasherihmm, maybe it could be better to modify those exported functions to return int type also
09:21:36Slasheribut feel free to fix that :)

09:26:20peturmust also check why the pcf driver vommits if I leave the i2c lines high
09:27:00Slasheriyes, the eeprom chip seems to be very strict about the correct i2c signaling
09:27:11Slasherihmm, then it sounds like a bug in the pcf driver..
09:27:17Slasherinormally the bus should float hight
09:27:18Slasheri-t
09:27:59peturif I leave it high I get a keypress 'right' and battery empty indication. It locks up too
09:28:15Slasheriinteresting
09:28:32Slasheriyou should check in what state the pcf driver leaves the bus after generating the stop signal
09:29:14peturthe normal implementation sets them high, but there's an asm one too
09:29:54peturI've been doing this inbetween other stuff and it's not a good way to work on something like that
09:29:59Slasherihmm, after setting the line high in the eeprom code, try to set the bus floating too (both lines as input)
09:30:05Slasherimaybe that could fix it
09:30:29peturah right, you were setting them as output...
09:30:33Slasheriyep
09:30:46peturthat must be it then...

11:25:11safetydanWell apparently it's worth it as there's quite a few plugins that do it.
11:26:12linuxstbIIRC, gcc won't inline functions automatically unless you specify -O3 (or explicitly use -finline-functions).
11:26:34JdGordoni read somehere it can online inline functions that are in the .h or the same file?
11:26:35amiconngcc does inline functions without -O3
11:26:54amiconnSometimes even with -Os (if the function is only used in one single place)
11:27:13safetydaninteresting, I would have thought it would avoid that for -Os...
11:27:17safetydanoh, single function makes sense
11:27:46 Quit dj-fu (Client Quit)
11:27:52amiconnYes, it saves the call overhead
11:28:06amiconnOf course the function must be static for this
11:28:58 Join Arathis [0] (n=doerk@p508A72D3.dip.t-dialin.net)
11:29:46linuxstbThe manpage says that -finline-functions-called-once is enabled when -funit-at-a-time is enabled, which it is at -O2 and -Os... But -finline-functions is only enabled at -O3.
11:30:51dan_aYou can use __attribute__((always_inline)) too
11:31:17astecpyou can't always trust the gcc manpage on optimisations :)
11:32:43safetydanit's not that performance critical... I just hate thinking of the function call overhead for all these deg_to_rad/rad_to_deg calls I have in this plugin

12:24:25aliaskI actually already have a bug report, I tried a 1200kb stream because the quality on this file was TERRIBLE (even compared to computer rendering it) and it went rainbow on me (can provide test file)
12:25:01linuxstbFirst I need to decide where my lcd_yuv_blit() function should live. It's currently in lcd-ipod.c, but I don't think it belongs in the core.
12:25:14safetydanplugin lib maybe?
12:26:49linuxstbI think so.
12:27:09safetydanSpeaking of the plugin lib, what do people think the chances are of getting a libm port to the plugins included?
12:27:31safetydanIt's either that, or start looking at rewriting some algorithms in fixed point... which will either be interesting or horrible.

15:02:20JdGordonSlasheri: is the (struct entry*) tc->dircache always the same value for the same directory? and if yes, is it also the same if DC is off?
15:03:49MmmmJdGordon: The only differences in the remotes are the extra +10/ -10 buttons on the LCD remote. These should be mapped the same as Bitrate/Source on the H100 remote. Everything else the same as the main unit and it works perfectly. I know..I've tried it! :)
15:04:21JdGordonMmmm: isnt the menu/on buttons reversed on one of them also?

15:10:32JdGordonSlasheri: the dirwalker uses tc_load and tree_context, is that wrong?
15:11:40MmmmHmm, I haven't looked at your code so I dont really know what you've done but yes, the 'Navi' button acts as 'on' on the LCD remote but, (as the code stands now) mapping this to BUTTON_SELECT does the trick nicely. (It still remains the 'on' button as this is handled separately)
15:12:17JdGordonk, so that needs handling, which isnt a problem
15:13:20Mmmmbut for this remote the NAVI button is by far the best choice for the on button. The play button is one of those plasticky rubbish rocker buttons that could easily be pressed by accident.
15:13:37 Nick Arathis is now known as Arathis_ (n=doerk@p508A72D3.dip.t-dialin.net)
15:14:06JdGordonk, but its defined wrong in the code then? its a simple fix to support all the different remotes
15:14:20 Nick Arathis_ is now known as Arathis (n=doerk@p508A72D3.dip.t-dialin.net)
15:15:25MmmmIt is pretty simple yes, but you still need to be sure it is a remote key you are pressing and not the main unit, so it cant be mapped in button.c straight to the main unit keys
15:16:12JdGordonsimple fix i mean the patch handles it very easily.. and if as you say its 2 buttons which need changing its about 3 min work
15:16:27MmmmAh..ok great! :)
15:17:12Bg3rMmmm: really, h300 lcd remote mappings aren't good atm
15:17:12MmmmMaybe if you get it committed and then I can sort out the other remotes (as I have one)

17:20:21ziphadok if i understand correctly on the same menu that notes contacts and claender is there is supposed to be music?
17:20:59Mikachusort of, but you have to change the mode first
17:21:17Mikachuhold down menu for a second to get to the quickscreen, then play until it says id3 database

17:21:21ziphadhow do i enable tag cahce browser ?

17:27:23ziphadeverything i do results in tag not ready
17:27:53dan_aziphad: Have you done the "initialize now"?
17:27:59linuxstbYou need to shut down your ipod and turn it back on again after initialising tagcache.
17:28:14ziphadhow do i initialize?
17:28:48ziphadi cant get to the tag cahce menu
17:29:53ziphadim on the 23rd page of the manual and it only tells me the options not how to get there
17:30:16markunziphad: General Settings -> File View -> Tag Cache
17:30:28linuxstbPress (and release) the MENU button to go to the main menu.
17:30:41linuxstbThen what markun said.
17:34:25ziphadok thanks guys

19:09:31lamedcvs commit: Using deprecated info format strings. Convert your scripts to use the new argument format and remove '1's from your info file format strings.
19:10:03Bagderlamed: we all get that and we've forgotten why and how ;-)
19:10:15amiconnlamed: It's a cvs configuration thing on the server. Just ignore it
19:10:27ShadowdogMUfatherfork, I do
19:10:34ShadowdogMUa quick mockup
19:10:38amiconnBagder: You should know iiuc...
19:10:40fatherforkalright, lets see it

19:10:59Bagdersince I've forgot I no longer know
19:11:02lamedyou too couldn't have told me if i'm right or wrong on the H300...? never mind. bagder I made some changes to pong
19:11:29fatherforkthat's too minimal, I wanted it to display the extra stuff
19:11:36ShadowdogMUI can add
19:11:38ShadowdogMUwhat do you want?
19:11:53Bagderlamed: no I couldn't
19:11:56fatherforkwell I could add it.
19:12:07fatherforkjust tell me what's wrong with what I have
19:12:29fatherforklike I said, it's based on iRock by Baston, so it's bound to look similar
19:12:38ShadowdogMUeverything looks un-anti-aliased
19:12:52ShadowdogMUand the battery and play logos are too big, imo
19:12:55fatherforkWhen I want a completely new skin, I'll start from scratch
19:12:57lamedbagder: I think I'm right because of button.c:1013, I don't own it as well
19:13:28*amiconn now has some asm optimisations for the grayscale lib on ipods
19:13:49amiconn..after fixing a really silly bug, a missing '!'
19:13:50ShadowdogMUI made that thing real fast to look just like the iPod
19:14:09fatherforkthey re a little large, but it's just because this insn't a complete new skin
19:14:18amiconnarm asm can be confusing...
19:15:08fatherforkok here's what your's is missing:

19:15:56fatherforknaxt song is a big one; volume level; playlist position; virtual hard drive activity icon
19:16:00fatherforknext*
19:16:42fatherforkhowever, I do agree it would look better with the progress bar above the track time
19:17:40ShadowdogMUdo volume like the iPod does, or is that not possible with themes, and I have playlist position, HDD icon can be a simple add, and flash battery life where Now Player is
19:17:42ShadowdogMUhave them alternate
19:17:48ShadowdogMUcluttered looks bad
19:18:13fatherforkI dono't like alternating text
19:18:42fatherforksure, it's alittle cluttered, but I'm not advertising this to be the cleanest theme ever
19:18:51ShadowdogMUWho are you making the skin for, you or the public
19:19:17ShadowdogMUBecause look at the popular skins, and see what they have that makes them that way
19:19:31fatherforkit's not supposed to look like the original iPod firmware, just have close formatting
19:19:43fatherforklook at the iRock skin.
19:19:55ShadowdogMUStill, are those XP icons as well?
19:20:04fatherforkXP icons?
19:20:07fatherforkwhich?
19:20:15ShadowdogMUthe battery and one of the 2 volume icons
19:20:27ShadowdogMUand the shortcut icon for the next song
19:20:56fatherforkI have no idea. they aren't original.
19:21:13fatherforkthe shortcut icon is from the jBlackGlass theme
19:22:43ShadowdogMUDid you steal all the graphics from that iRock thing?
19:23:04fatherforkbasically
19:23:11fatherforklike I said, it's a rework
19:23:12ShadowdogMUHowever he made them, they suck
19:23:21ShadowdogMUlook like something from the 1990s, no AA
19:23:25fatherforkI didn't say they didn't
19:23:38ShadowdogMUHa

19:55:13Bagderno
19:55:23Bagderbut feel free to port Rockbox to it
19:55:41markunne0futur: well, a good start is to collect as much info as you can

19:57:08ne0futurFace it, if you want Rockbox ported, be prepared to do most of the ground work yourself. You will need skills in electronics and embedded programming in C and assembler.

19:57:53linuxstbne0futur: IMO, the first thing is to identify the CPU (and other chips). Then find out if documentation is available. That will tell you if a port will be easy (relatively) or hard.

20:16:11Bagderreally?
20:16:24Bagdermost days it isn't a lot to get with updates
20:16:33ne0futurI got the firmware, could the name ( at85413a_FM.bin ) or firmware be useful to see if its near an existing port ?

20:29:52markunhi mirak
20:30:01markunmirak: linuxstb is working on a mpeg player
20:30:04mirakwhat's the frame rate on doom ?
20:30:08mirakmarkun: ah ?
20:30:29mirakmarkun: but not the codecs ?
20:30:39markunask him
20:30:59mirakhe is around ?
20:31:06*linuxstb is around
20:31:20miraklinuxstb: hi
20:31:52miraklinuxstb: you got some new challenge I see
20:32:01mirak?
20:32:13linuxstbHi. I took libmpeg2, (the original source, not your port), and have a basic player working - just playing raw video streams. It seems much better on ipods than Coldfire targets though.
20:32:34linuxstbOn the Nano, it can do around 24fps for a full-size (176x128) MPEG-2 file.
20:32:52linuxstbBut I think it's only around 8-9fps on Coldfire.
20:33:32lamed.... can I tell 'patch' to output rejected into a form of a patchfile?
20:33:34mirakdamn
20:33:58miraklinuxstb: how did you ported ? you needed to change a lot of code ?
20:34:11linuxstbSo I'm confident it can work at 25fps on ipods (with audio playback) using one CPU for the video, and the other CPU for audio and disk reading. But Coldfire looks much harder - mainly due to the need to use IRAM as efficiently as possible (for both video and audio).
20:34:14miraklinuxstb: do you use assembly or iram ?
20:34:45miraklinuxstb: well we could live with uncompressed audio
20:35:01linuxstbNeither. There's a tiny bit of IRAM usage, but no assembly. There wasn't that much that needed to be changed in libmpeg2 itself.
20:35:01mirakI would in fact
20:35:27mirakI think the boost could be huge on the idct in assemblt
20:35:31mirakassembly.
20:35:35mirakNice work indeed
20:36:08mirakI didn't knew ipods where that powerfull, and especially not they had two cpus
20:36:19linuxstbIf you check the logs (search for mpegplayer.tgz) you'll see a link to it and a patch.
20:36:29linuxstb(today's logs)
20:36:35mirakok
20:36:59mirakin fact the 8-9 fps is what I obtained though I didn't knew I could boost the cpu
20:37:12mirak8/3
20:37:16mirak:p
20:37:36mirakbut well, the 25fps seems a bit out of reach :(
20:38:04miraklinuxstb: did you tried with a mpeg1 stream ? libmpeg2 can decode it, and it should be less cpu intensive
20:38:28linuxstbYes, but the framerate seemed almost identical.
20:40:10miraklinuxstb: the iriver screen is twice the ipod surface
20:40:15dan_alinuxstb: (since you're likely to be one of the first ones to use them) how do the threading API changes I've suggested look to you?
20:40:18miraklinuxstb: you tried wth the same stream ?
20:41:53merbananlinuxstb: ffmpeg should have arm assembly for the idct

21:01:31linuxstbmirak: Running a full-screen file on my ipod Photo (same size LCD as H300), it gets about 13.5fps. But I have done one optimisation for the ipods - merging the yuv2rgb conversion and writing to the LCD into one function (lcd_yuv_blit). On the H300, one function does the conversion to rgb (and writes to the lcd_framebuffer), and then lcd_update() is called.
21:01:50linuxstbBefore that optimisation, the same file was about 10fps I think.
21:02:23linuxstbmerbanan: Yes, a suitable ARM idct function will probably be the next thing I'll try.

22:40:38amiconnI guess using the grayscale lib for video will cause more flicker than its other uses, as the pattern change happens often, and isn't synchronised. I'm not sure whether we could apply the render algoritm in haltone.c in realtime...
22:40:43linuxstbmirak: ipods don't seem to benefit much from iram, so no, I think everything should be done specificially for the Coldfire targets.
22:40:45Rudy4PezWell I knew that much, that it was an abbreviation for library, but in this context, what is the definition of library?
22:40:47amiconn*halftone.c
22:40:48Rudy4PezHehe.
22:41:23BagderRudy4Pez: a collection of functions

22:45:46linuxstbamiconn: Unless you feel strongly against it, I'm planning to commit lcd_yuv_blit() to lcd-ipod.c and export it via the plugin API - it keeps the low-level LCD stuff together, and means I don't need to duplicate the helper functions such as lcd_cmd_data() and friends.
22:46:10senabJust noticed that on the 5g you can now see the LCD flicker if you look close enough

22:50:13dan_aI don't think fire is working, but it could be
22:51:08dan_aPlasma works
22:51:58amiconnNow that is odd. Plasma and fire use the library in the same mode (in fact all plugins enabled in cvs builds do)
22:52:21dan_aI wasn't sure what fire was supposed to be doing

23:17:47Paul_The_NerdWe're hoping for the Summer of Code AAC bits in ffmpeg to be usable though, I believe.
23:18:14senabi thought so, its just im sure someone said it used faad and i didn't beleive them
23:18:17linuxstbAlthough I think that's only going to be floating point - so still a lot of work to use it in Rockbox.
23:18:26bluebrotherwhat would be the advantage of ffmpeg over faad?

23:25:35Paul_The_Nerdsenab: A lot of people don't realize it, but you're actually required to host the whole of the source code you're providing binaries for, not just a patch or diff against source code at another location, if you want to be fully compliant.
23:25:40linuxstbsenab: IIUC, anyone that downloads a binary from you is entitied to request the source you used to build that exact binary. The easiest way to fulfil that obligation is simply to make the source available every time you release a binary.
23:26:08linuxstb(just make it part of your script that generates the binaries)

23:31:08linuxstbmarkun: No, it's not a requirement to host the source, but the alternative is to provide it on request...
23:31:20*linuxstb know what he would prefer to do
23:31:24amiconnInstead of working around a deficiency, we should remove the deficiency.
23:31:56amiconnImho we should port all screens (except debug stuff) to use the ui font.
23:32:11amiconnThen we could even restrict the sysfont to pure ascii
23:33:01senabmarkun, linuxstb: i get requested for it all the time anyway so its easier to just host it

23:44:50amiconnThe recording screen can be simplified a bit, imho.
23:45:15Paul_The_NerdI wonder...
23:45:26Paul_The_NerdYou could also have a simplified multi-font for that?
23:45:35Paul_The_NerdWhere the font's set, and swapped out while you're on the recording screen?
23:45:48Paul_The_NerdSo you don't need to add space to the buffer, but it takes a spin-up to get to the record screen?
23:46:11amiconnI mean that some screens show the native script (cyrillic, hebrew, hangul, whatever), and others show latin text
23:47:01amiconnPaul_The_Nerd: Multi-font support is another story. It's been discussed for years, and I'm sure it will come

23:55:47lamedah. ok. that I can agree with you. well then, as you can see there are only 48 new strings for now, and for that price people could use their own native languages (as without this they only get squares around some screens, prefering not to use the translation at all). reverting is as easy as SEDing LANG_SYSFONT_ back to LANG_ strings and removing (future to be) unnecessary LANG_SYSFONT_ strings from the .lang files.
