00:19:03sugecan rockbox read pdfs, or any non .txt ebooks?
00:21:02linuxstb_suge: Not until someone writes such a plugin.
00:21:44evilnick*ahem* does anyone have a backup of a H140 flash? In my haste to check out the flashable .irver file, I didn't take a backup of mine so can't now access the iriver f/w...
00:23:57safetydanSenphet, that's in the rockbox source.
00:24:09safetydanSenphet, as far as I know, those images aren't actually separate bitmaps
00:24:21Senphetahh, damn
00:24:24Senphetthanks for the help
00:27:50linuxstb_evilnick: You don't need a backup - according to Slasheri's wiki page, you just download the .hex file from iriver, decrypt it to .bin (see the IriverBoot wiki page for links) and then flash that.
00:28:22evilnicklinuxtb_: thanks (the part on how to decrypt was the bit I'd missed)
00:28:37linuxstb_But if I was you, I would talk to Slasheri first...

04:48:27safetydanShould give you control over your hardware equalizer.
04:48:40safetydanWARNING, not tested on actual hardware as I don't have an iPod
04:49:19safetydanIf it breaks, you get to keep both pieces.
04:51:35BHSPitMonkeyhmm
04:51:53BHSPitMonkeyif you built it... and my iPod was in working condition... I'd try it ;)
04:52:33Paul_The_NerdIsn't that only for 5Gs safetydan?
04:52:44Paul_The_NerdOh, right, somehow read right over the word "video"
04:53:29sharpesafetydan: what are the chances it'd break into exactly two pieces? :)
04:55:05safetydanPaul_The_Nerd, yeah video/5g

06:22:26*Moos is going to check cvs logs
06:22:41Paul_The_NerdYou could try reverting Tomasz's changes.

07:09:36fatherforkwhat are we talking about?

07:10:00***Saving seen data "./dancer.seen"
07:10:10fatherforkneed a beta tester or something?
07:10:15safetydanFebs, cool, it's the same differences anyway, just a different format
07:10:49safetydanfatherfork, testers are welcome but should be warned that this is my first attempt at a hardware interface. And it's for hardware that I don't even own :)
07:11:03*Febs waits for cygwin to compile.
07:11:42fatherforkhaha, I understand that, but i need a little more information about what you're actually doing
07:11:56FebsI'm doing a make zip now. Is there anything in particular that I'm going to be looking for when I try this?
07:12:09safetydanFebs, Sound Settings -> Equalizer -> Hardware Equalizer
07:12:19safetydanshould give you full control over the available settings in the hardware
07:12:48safetydanfatherfork, if you want to test it, grab the patch from http://iocaine.org/wm8758_eq.diff compile and let me know if it works
07:13:14safetydanfatherfork, basically it's an interface to the hardware equalizer settings in the iPod 5G audio chipset
07:13:39fatherforkso it basically uses the same hardware the original iPod firmware uses?
07:13:59fatherfork...making it actually work
07:14:20safetydanI've no idea if the original firmware made use of the hardware equalizer.
07:14:31Mikachuit would make very little sense to put it there if it didn't
07:14:55fatherforkah, ok well you'll have to give me some time to familiarize myself with aplying and compliling patches
07:15:29Paul_The_Nerd"making it actually work"?
07:15:51fatherforknot exactly what I meant to mean to say...?
07:16:24Paul_The_NerdI was wondering, because I thought the software equalizer we offered worked fine on 5g. Other than the skipping, but that's only slightly related
07:16:26fatherforksure it works, it does what it says it does not, it's just not quite ready for actual full time use
07:16:45fatherforkdoes what it says it does*
07:17:07safetydanfatherfork, the hardware equalizer is substantially more limited than the software equalizer that Rockbox provides.
07:17:17Paul_The_Nerdfatherfork: The software equalizer is perfectly ready for fulltime use.
07:17:32Paul_The_NerdThe problems aren't in the equalizer itself
07:17:34fatherforkexcept for the skipping
07:17:43fatherforkright, it's in everything else that's going on
07:17:54Paul_The_NerdSo saying the equalizer isn't ready is wrong.
07:17:55fatherforkI understand that
07:18:02fatherforkfair enough
07:18:14Paul_The_NerdThe equalizer is fine. Everything else just needs work. ;)
07:18:39safetydanAnyone know what key to press to get the iPod simulator to actually save a config file?
07:18:46fatherforkI should learn all this stuff so I could help
07:19:02Mikachusafetydan: hold down select
07:19:06fatherforkI've got wps pretty much down, not that it's hard
07:19:29safetydanMikachu, apparently KP5 is what I wanted which I think is button_play
07:19:48Mikachuthat would be select then i think
07:19:57Mikachuif you run with the bitmap background it will have helpful text drawn skillfully on it
07:20:13safetydanMikachu, actually you're right it is select, I just misread the define's
07:20:39Febssafetydan, the gain setting appears to be reversed.
07:20:54FebsLow shelf -12dB is full boost, 12db is full cut.
07:21:06safetydancool, that's easy enough to fix
07:21:39 Join qwx [0] (n=qwm@h229n1fls34o1010.telia.com)
07:21:46safetydanand of course, rereading the data sheet, that's exactly what it says
07:22:22FebsI assume these increments for the cutoff frequency are limited by the hardware?
07:22:28safetydanyup
07:22:30fatherforkPaul_the_nerd: about the built in equalizer; I've just not minamalist enought to use the default wps, which would help I'm sure
07:22:32safetydanfour choice per band
07:22:41FebsI see what you mean about it being much more limited than the software EQ.
07:22:43safetydanfour choices even
07:22:47Mikachufatherfork: the default wps is the worst due to the peakmeters actually
07:22:52safetydanand the bandwidth is either wide or narrow
07:22:56safetydanwith no definition of what that means
07:22:57fatherforkoh I forgot about that
07:23:13fatherforkcrap
07:25:49fatherforkI could just take it out
07:26:06Paul_The_Nerd's what I usually do.
07:26:20safetydanFebs, any popping noises when you change the eq settings?
07:26:20FebsThe shelving filters work, but the peaking filters don't seem to be having any effect.
07:26:32FebsNo popping noises.
07:26:56FebsGlitchiness when I scroll the gain up or down, but I think that is the usual scrolling glitch.
07:27:26JdGordonPaul_The_Nerd: are the forums ever going to be rearanged?
07:27:27safetydanIt's interesting that it works at all as the datasheet says I should be disabling the adc/dac when I turn the eq on or off
07:27:36fatherforkwhat app do you guys use to compile this stuff?
07:28:54Paul_The_NerdJdGordon: At some point, yes, I think they will. It's not gonna be fun though. But first I'd like to try to get the software updated a little bit.

07:31:34safetydanFebs, yeah silly mistake on my part, peak filters won't work at the moment
07:31:44safetydanor wait...
07:31:45FebsGood, I'm not going deaf.
07:31:46safetydanignore that
07:31:50safetydanhrmm...
07:32:01safetydanno, peak filters should work
07:32:29FebsBoth parameters of the shelving filters work as I'd expect them to, but I'm not hearing anything with the peaking filters.
07:32:53safetydanthe datasheet has a graph of the peak filter effect.
07:32:56safetydanit's pretty broad
07:33:43 Quit qwm (Read error: 110 (Connection timed out))
07:35:19FebsNope, I just tried -12dB and 12dB at 1.1kHz with the "narrow" filter, and there's no audible effect.
07:36:30safetydanokay, I'll see what I can dig up
07:36:44safetydanso the shelving filters work, peak filters don't. Anything else?
07:37:08safetydannote that the setting won't kick in until you exit the menu
07:37:17FebsRight. Got that.
07:37:18safetydan(i.e. the gain won't take affect until you exit the gain menu)
07:38:02FebsJust to double check, I just tried all three peaking filters at +12dB (which I guess is really -12dB right now) and the "wide" setting, and then toggled the hardware EQ setting on and off.
07:38:04FebsNo difference.
07:39:19safetydancool
07:39:32safetydanwell, not cool, but certainly seems like there's a problem
07:39:58Paul_The_NerdIt's cool to know that something's wrong.
07:40:08Paul_The_NerdHeh
07:40:32fatherforkI'm reading about compiling and I just don't get it. Maybe learning this is for sometime when I'm not pulling an all-nighter.
07:41:05safetydananyway, I have to go away again. Thanks for testing so far Febs. I'll see what another dev with iPod has to say about the peak filters.
07:41:38FebsNo problem. I'll be around tomorrow and I'm happy to test further.

10:40:45*linuxstb looks at the xvidcore library, and it's 10 times the size of libmpeg2...
10:43:55BHSPitMonkeywhat's mp4 (the variation the iPod Video firmware uses) look like?
10:44:02BHSPitMonkey@ linuxstb
10:44:21markunBHSPitMonkey: h264?
10:45:47BHSPitMonkeynah, wouldn't that be harder?
10:46:28BHSPitMonkey5G's play both h.264 and MPEG-4
10:47:54linuxstbThe Broadcom chip inside a 5g plays h.264 - that's different....
10:48:40linuxstbThe video player I'm working on is generic for all Rockbox targets (with colour LCDs), so it's nothing to do with the Broadcom chip.
10:49:39BHSPitMonkeyI know you can't use the chip, but I wonder what the format looks like from your approach.
10:49:52Bunkey<daurn|laptop> Bunkey: you've got the ears around the wrong way :P <−−no, i play it once on rockbox and on original fw, rockbox reversed channel
10:50:48BHSPitMonkeyBunkey, I think there's a setting somewhere.
10:51:46linuxstbBHSPitMonkey: The quality is excellent to my eyes - encoding at around 450kbps.
10:52:40BHSPitMonkeythe nature of my question is more about how well it could potentially be decoded, in the way you are doing them now.
10:52:53linuxstbBy "well" you mean "fast"?
10:52:58BHSPitMonkey(without Broadcom acceleration)
10:53:06BHSPitMonkeyspeed is a factor, yes
10:53:35linuxstbWhat other factors are there?
10:55:32markunimage quality, size, speed
10:55:59BHSPitMonkeythere you go. :P
10:56:29BHSPitMonkeyI'm just wondering if it seems likely that I would be able to switch between firmwares and watch the same files
10:56:39markunBHSPitMonkey: no
10:56:55BHSPitMonkeyk
10:57:41BHSPitMonkeyin that case, how much monetary persuasion would you figure Broadcom needs to open up their specs on that chip?
10:57:47BHSPitMonkey:P
10:57:51linuxstbThe 5g is the ipod least likely to get useful video playback from mpegplayer - because of the size of the LCD.
10:58:14BHSPitMonkeyyeah... big, slow, clumsy 5G :'(
10:58:43linuxstbBHSPitMonkey: I also have to say that the Broadcom chip isn't that interesting to me - Rockbox works on many players, and only one has a Broadcom chip. And Apple will probably not be using it in any future ipods.
10:59:34linuxstbIt's more useful for targets with small LCDs (such as the Nano), or future Rockbox targets with large LCDs but fast main CPUs such as the Toshiba Gigabeat.
11:00
11:00:24BHSPitMonkeyso, you don't think that rockbox should ever be a viable "replacement" firmware for the 5G? or that you would sooner leave such development to somebody else
11:00:32JdGordonhey linuxstb, i know you like the idea of using a slider for the integer settings, but i got them working in the list properly, and imo adding a sepearet widget for the int settings would just increase code size... if you want to try it its fs#5795
11:01:38linuxstbBHSPitMonkey: I'm just speaking personally. Many people buy their 5gs only for audio playback (it's the only large capacity ipod Apple sell), and don't care about video.
11:02:29linuxstbBHSPitMonkey: But I included support for the Broadcom chip in the ipod port "to-do" list here: http://www.rockbox.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/IpodStatus
11:04:22BHSPitMonkeywell, I don't really see why someone would spend on a car just to listen to its stereo in the driveway... but I guess that's some people's choice.
11:04:37safetydanlinuxstb, want to try/review a patch for me? http://iocaine.org/wm8758_eq.diff
11:06:56linuxstbBHSPitMonkey: As I say, there's no choice - you want to buy an ipod, you have to get a 5g.
11:07:09BHSPitMonkeynot really
11:07:34BHSPitMonkeyI can walk into CompUSA and pick up a 4G, color or not
11:07:37JdGordonyes really.. you can only get the nano or the video..
11:07:44JdGordonout here anyway..
11:07:52linuxstbThe 5g is widely reported to have much better sound quality than the 4g.
11:08:03linuxstbMy ears back that up.
11:08:09linuxstb(I have both a 5g and a Photo)
11:08:16BHSPitMonkeyit's also widely reported to mess up headphones... and mine back THAT up :P
11:08:31BHSPitMonkeyand I can't really tell that kind of thing
11:08:46BHSPitMonkeymy ear is for music, not audio, if that makes sense
11:09:13markunBHSPitMonkey: can't you work on the broadcom video support?
11:09:22BHSPitMonkeyheh
11:10:03***Saving seen data "./dancer.seen"
11:10:12markunperhaps it's possible to call the video playback routine directly from the OF..
11:10:22BHSPitMonkeyif that was a standard request to a user feature demand, save it... I never claimed someone needed to work on it, I just reacted to linuxstb say "Who cares about the 5G's features" pretty much
11:10:48linuxstbBHSPitMonkey: I never said that - I just said I didn't care, and that there are also some other people like me who only ever want to use their 5g for audio.
11:11:21linuxstbOf course I know that there are people who bought their 5gs for video.
11:11:35BHSPitMonkeythat's why I switched from a nano.
11:12:48markunBHSPitMonkey: maybe the ipodlinux guys will figure it out
11:12:52BHSPitMonkeyheh
11:12:56BHSPitMonkeymaybe
11:13:24BHSPitMonkeybut most of the developments have been stirred up over here lately
11:13:39BHSPitMonkeythere's a definite concentration on software over there
11:14:26linuxstbThere's not much low-level development here either...
11:14:31BHSPitMonkeyalthough the interest for figuring out all of the iPod's secrets is higher over there, as opposed to "let's just get what we want out of this" over here
11:15:13linuxstbI would say the main interest in the hardware "over here" is in increasing battery life.
11:15:36BHSPitMonkeyI'm not going to get into a project comparison again, so I'll leave it there
11:16:32BHSPitMonkeyoranges and grapefruit...
11:16:33linuxstbI wasn't going there either. Just saying what Rockbox people are likely to be working on.
11:16:58BHSPitMonkeyyep- whetever that person wants the most.

11:36:38OwlieIf your looking at getting something 20GB+
11:36:53anrdewmel@owlie, it depends on what features you want, and how much you can spend
11:37:08Owliemainly the amount of storage on it
11:37:19OwlieNot sure about anything else with them.
11:37:40Owlieand i have vouchers to use at Harvey norman >.< Not sure what i could or should buy
11:37:47OwlieI've only looked at iPods so far.
11:37:48anrdewmelwell I think all (or nearly all) harddrive based daps use the same toshiba hard drive

11:39:23Owliei just want something small, with large capacity that's going to last a while.
11:39:39Owliei bouht an mp3 player when they first came out, and mine was horrible.
11:40:11anrdewmeli expect my video ipod to last about 2 years.......
11:40:24Owlieit's only 5GB though right?
11:40:41anrdewmelno, it is 60 gb
11:40:52OwlieO.O wow
11:41:07OwlieI thought you said 5GB, must have read wrong somewhere
11:41:11OwlieHow much was it?
11:41:15anrdewmeli had a 20 gbi iRiver, but its battery died, and it was full.
11:41:26anrdewmeli paid AUD$560 from Dick Smiths
11:41:35Owlienice
11:41:50Owlieooh, Your australian too?
11:42:17anrdewmelyep, i only put the dick smiths as I noticed you mentioned hardly normal

11:42:48Owliewe have a dick smiths in town
11:43:05Owliewhat part of australia are you from? (I'm from northern NSW, Lismore)
11:43:05anrdewmelthey might be doing them for less than 560 now.
11:43:20Owliepity my vouchers are only for harvey norman =(
11:43:23anrdewmeli am currently in tassy. but have lived in many places. i like lismore
11:43:34Owlieooh, you've been here? Wow =D
11:44:02anrdewmelhave peobably been to lismore about 15 times?
11:45:02Owlie=P
11:45:11anrdewmeli was hoping to find out how the video implementation is coming along for the ipods and if sound is around the corner, or a litte further off?
11:45:57OwlieYeah, sadly i'm not one that knows alot
11:46:08OwlieFriend gave me the website to rockbox about 30minutes abou
11:46:10Owlieago*
11:46:25Owliethen i noticed the IRC channel and came for infomation ^-^
11:46:57anrdewmeli would not have bought an ipod without rockbox. without rockbox you need a program called itunes to put music onto your ipod and there are a number of steps you need to go through to get it off.
11:47:17anrdewmeli prefer to be able to just plug it in, drag and drop the music on or off it, and then play it.
11:47:29OwlieYeah
11:47:33Owliethat was my main concern
11:47:34anrdewmelrockbox is the best way to do that on an iPod
11:47:43Owliethat and whether it was worth the money, or whether there was something better
11:48:05OwlieOther then ipods, what else is good for a decent music collection =P?
11:48:25linuxstbanrdewmel: All ipods have two ARM CPU cores, so the first thing to do is to add the infrastructure into Rockbox to use the second CPU - currently it only uses one. Once that's done, I plan to try to move video decoding to the second CPU, and start using the first CPU for audio playback.
11:48:33anrdewmelthe only other new player worth the money, imo, is the iAudio X5.
11:49:21Owliestill something to do with apple isnt it though
11:49:36Owliemm what about the Creative mp3 Players
11:49:40Owlieare they okay?
11:49:41anrdewmelthanks linuxstb :) i am a patient man. it is really more from interest. I dont use my dap for video, i prefer to just listen to music or lectures :)
11:50:12anrdewmelno, iAudio is a different company. the creative players are not bad, but I dont know a lot about them.
11:50:25Owlieooh i see =O
11:50:47anrdewmelsecondhand iRiver H320 or H340 are good, if you can find them. But their batteries will need to be replaced soon or now
11:51:12Owlie=(
11:51:24Owlieso i guess iPods are the best
11:51:47anrdewmelwill the iaudio is as good, but a little bigger as it offers a couple of extra features.
11:51:47OwlieI'm going to the snow at jindgerbine on saturday next weekend, tomorrow's my only shopping chance

11:56:58safetydanlinuxstb, not the peak filter thing no. I can't see what's wrong.
11:57:18safetydanI need to work on simplifying the eq ui code a bit
11:57:22anrdewmelIt wont. if you stick with cheap earbuds it isnt too much of a problem but if you have anything like decent headphones you will hear artifacts
11:57:53safetydanlinuxstb, oh and that patch will still have the gain inverted. I've only fixed that locally

12:10:36safetydanThe other thing it doesn't do is disable the ADCs/DACs before enabling the EQ. The datasheet says they "must be disabled" before changing.
12:12:43linuxstbsafetydan: Is that the EQ3DMODE bit? Or something else?
12:12:52 Join MadDog011 [0] (n=MadDog01@212-200-212-95.adsl.sezampro.yu)
12:13:37safetydanlinuxstb, yup. The exact quote from page 64 if "Note: The ADCs and DACs must be disabled before changing the EQ3DMODE bit."
12:14:16linuxstbI don't think we need to change it - all that does is switch the EQ between the ADC or DAC. The default (i.e. what's happening today) is that the EQ is applied to the DAC path.
12:15:12linuxstbi.e. the default behaviour is for the EQ to be applied to the DAC path, but all the EQ settings default to a gain of 0dB.
12:15:35safetydanwow, I've been totally misreading that part for the past day
12:15:53linuxstbI misread it the first time, but read it again yesterday.
12:17:11 Join ender` [0] (i=null@84.52.165.220)
12:18:01linuxstbAnyway, about to test now. Did you say I have to leave the settings screen for the changes to be applied?
12:18:15safetydanYou just have to leave the individual setting screen
12:18:22safetydani.e. back out of the gain screen and the setting is applied
12:18:32linuxstbOK, so it's a set of 5 screns?
12:18:37linuxstb^screens
12:18:41safetydanpretty much
12:18:57safetydanIt works in the simulator if you want to look at it first
12:20:57linuxstbI'm testing on my 5g now. The Gain settings seems badly broken. It goes in the wrong direction, and there seems no upper limit... I've gone up to 343dB, and can't make it go back down.
12:21:08safetydanokay... that doesn't seem right
12:22:22safetydanyeah okay that's broken
12:23:24safetydanlinuxstb, quick fix, change EQ_HARDWARE_GAIN_STEP to 1 again
12:23:45linuxstbWhy don't you just keep the gain how you had it originally, and convert the gain from -12 to +12 to the register value in the driver itself.
12:25:12linuxstbi.e. reg |= (12-gain) where gain is -12 to +12
12:25:19 Join lodesi [0] (n=lds@d01m-89-83-157-93.d4.club-internet.fr)
12:25:52safetydanWell, I do that to show the value to the user. It does work if the step size is +1
12:27:40linuxstbWhy is GAIN_MIN 0 and GAIN_MAX 24, instead of -12 and +12?
12:28:31safetydanbecause that's the value range of the chip
12:28:43safetydanwhen the value is displayed to the user, it's converted to +/- 12 dB
12:29:10linuxstbI would say the value range for the hardware is -12 to +12, it's the register values that are in the range 0 to 24.
12:29:54linuxstbBut that's easily converted with reg |= (12-gain)

16:43:33illogic-alhi, i'm having problems getting rockbox to start on an H300
16:44:07peturwhat problems?
16:44:14illogic-alI patched the firmware (1.28) and installing the rockbox files but it doesn't boot up (anymore)
16:44:43illogic-alit goes straight to the iriver screen
16:44:50MassaNobody with knowledge about WPS parsing?
16:45:07peturillogic-al: you flashed it correctly?
16:45:42illogic-alpetur: yeah, it was at 1.30 before, i patched it and the md5sum is correct
16:46:02peturdo you see the bootloader?
16:46:08illogic-albut it goes from the charging... screen, directly to iriver.
16:46:12illogic-alpetur: nope
16:46:31locoMikachu: i'm not too familiar with programming anymore. where would i define those variables? right at the beginning of the function? but then they will be allocated regardless of whether i'll need them later, won't they?
16:47:12peturthe bootloader doesn't do charging yet and will boot straight into iriver fw. start it without external power
16:47:20Massaloco: what do you want to do?

16:48:28illogic-aland it _was_ working last night while in charge mode.
16:48:42illogic-alpetur: the battery doesn't seem to hold a charge
16:48:50locoMassa: there's a strlen that gets calculated twice and Mikachu suggested to keep it in a variable, but i don't really know how to do that anymore. :|

16:53:30Slasheriloco: committed, i did small modifications to the code
16:54:03illogic-alI thought that caused the problems and just using rockbox would fix whatever problems it was having.

18:47:23A_Mthis is what I'm currently working on: http://web.telia.com/~u16106552/menusettings.png
18:47:24A_MSettings display in menus (right-aligned). Is this something people would like to see as a patch and/or in CVS?
18:48:44preglowsure
18:48:50preglowa patch couldn't hurt
18:49:05linuxstbA_M: I quite like it. But how well does it work on smaller LCDs, or with large fonts - i.e. when the settings name needs to scroll?
18:49:23linuxstbThe contents of the remote on that screenshot doesn't look ideal...
18:50:05A_Myeah, currently strings merge to the left when they overlap
18:51:12FebsObviously that is something that would need attention, but I do like the concept.
18:51:55A_Mimo it's not really a big deal if the actual changing of settings is still on a separate screen. but I'd like to have it so the settings editing is (as an option) done within the menu as well. and in that case it could become annoying.
18:53:25FebsRight now, the 'right' button and select button have the same function in menus (at least on the platforms that I'm familiar with). Perhaps that button could be used to scroll through the settings.
18:53:50FebsThe left/back button needs to be used to navigate to previous menu though.

18:58:56preglowman, speex is heavily non-realtime on coldfire
18:59:11FebsFor settings that have a small number of options, it could save several keystrokes.
18:59:49FebsFor example, in the equalizer menu, it would allow the user to toggle the eq on or off with a single button press, rather than 3.

19:00:38 Part Jazzs-
19:00:48A_Mwell so am I :)
19:01:06preglowonly disadvantage i can think of is the fact that strings will collide
19:01:06A_MI'm not really familiar with the different controls on different platforms. On which platforms are there multiple keys that do the same thing in the menus?
19:01:32preglowbut all in all i'd say this approach is something i've missed anyway
19:01:43A_MSo, any suggestions on what better handling when text is wider than screen might be, instead of the current merging and scrolling? Truncating the description to fit the current value on screen doesn't seem much better...
19:02:18preglowscrolling just the first string would probably be best
19:02:25preglowbut that's not possible
19:02:58A_Myup, already looked into that, would require almost an entire rewrite of scrolling code I guess. (not something I'd want to do)
19:04:53preglowit's on our list anyway
19:05:01preglowbut it requires a lot of other code to be done properly

20:32:13Spidalinuxstb: hexdump? sleuthlit?
20:32:42linuxstbI bought myself a new MP3 player today - a no-name (Logik) 1GB MP3 player with DAB radio.
20:33:07jhMikeSI've got assembly lcd_update(_rect) routines on FS for x5 (#5807). No yuv yet thought but that will come soon.
20:33:32preglowmp3 player with dab radio?
20:33:33preglownot bad
20:34:11linuxstbMounting it in Linux gives me an 884MB FAT16 disk (no partition table), and I've dd'ed a copy of it to my hard disk.
20:34:57linuxstbThe odd thing is that it came pre-loaded with some music. If I do "madplay diskimage.bin", then madplay skips through some rubbish, and starts playing some music. But according to Linux, the disk only contains two tiny config files, nothing else.
20:35:22*jhMikeS notices RaeNye doesn't seem to stick around much.
20:36:02Massalinuxstb: maybe it has several partitions?
20:37:18linuxstbA cool feature is that it can record DAB radio as you're listening, and give you the ability to pause/rewind the radio (but sadly, not save the recording). This works for up to 1hour of a 192kbps, which I calculate to be about 82MB. So that (along with the FAT overhead) probably fills up the 1GB FLASH.
20:37:35linuxstbMassa: There's no partition table...
20:38:34Massalinuxstb: no "official" one - but maybe it does uses some "build in" table?
20:38:53linuxstbBut my real problem is I can't find the firmware on the device, and no updates on the web...
20:39:44linuxstbMassa: Maybe, but when I mount the image, it tells me it's an 884MB disk.
20:41:15linuxstbSo it's a valid 884MB FAT16 disk image, but full of data with no directory entries... The device also supports MTP (as well as UMS), so I'm guessing it hides the MTP-transferred files somewhere in the FAT16 disk image.
20:42:09linuxstbAh, dosfsck is listing some files...
20:42:13Massasorry to be ignorant - but what is MTP and UMS?
20:43:19linuxstbMTP is the method used by Windows Media Player (and maybe other software) to sync music to a portable device. UMS is the standard USB Mass Storage we know and love - all Rockbox devices use UMS.
20:43:32linuxstbSeems there is a directory on my disk called "\/:*?"<>"
20:44:33MassaOh - I didn't know about MTP and I didn't know that the short form of "USB Mass Storage" is UMS :$

21:02:59uskihaha, on telechips website you need an id/password to get the datasheets
21:03:16linuxstbYep, noticed that...
21:03:45preglowlinuxstb: any reason why it should refuse that?
21:03:58preglowas in anything special with that particular multiplex?
21:04:15preglowbtw, what bitrate do dab broadcasters usually use?
21:04:47Ribs128k, I believe
21:04:55*Ribs checks
21:05:18Ribs"128kbps stereo" according to my DAB system
21:05:41linuxstbpreglow: I've no idea... In the UK, most music stations are 128kbps. A couple are 160kbps or 192kbps.
21:06:06preglowugh, 128kbps
21:06:23Ribsit sounds pretty good, actually
21:06:28preglowwell, it's ok
21:06:30Ribsa lot better than FM, very clear
21:06:31preglowbut could be better
21:06:41TeaSea128kbps in WHAT though?
21:06:41TeaSeamp3?
21:06:42Ribswell, my experience of 128k mp3 files is 'urgh'
21:06:44preglowmp2
21:06:46linuxstbRibs: A lot better than bad FM. It doesn't touch good FM though.
21:06:51TeaSeaOwch
21:07:00TeaSeaWhat the fuck is the world's obsession with mp2 and mpeg2?
21:07:07preglowthey're just now starting to introduce dab radio in norway
21:07:13Ribslinuxstb, well, it's clear enough for me to think it can't get much better
21:07:15TeaSeampeg2 should never have been kept on for a DVD compression format.
21:07:17preglowi really wish they'd go with some other standard
21:07:23RibsI can enjoy it without worrying about it, put it that way :)
21:07:27preglowTeaSea: it's not even mpeg2, it's mpeg1 layer 2
21:07:40TeaSeapreglow: Ow
21:07:49preglowTeaSea: a codec that's been around for probably fifteen years
21:08:26uskii suppose it's easy enough to encode/decode for cheap DSPs
21:08:28preglowsome other digital broadcasting systems with more efficients codecs exist
21:08:29preglowlike drm
21:08:34preglowas in digital radio mondioale
21:08:38preglowmondiale too
21:09:00preglowuski: yeah, but todays dsps can decode aac without even breaking a sweat
21:09:01uskia friend of mine is working with mpeg2 encoders and they are having problems encoding high definition streams in mpeg2 in real time

21:09:10uskiyea but encoding is hard
21:09:13preglowyou don't even need a dsp, just a cpu

21:10:50linuxstbIt could well be MPEG-4 - I was watching the BBC's high-definition (MPEG-4) coverage of the world cup, and the picture was very poor compared to their pre-recorded broadcasts.

21:15:39Paul_The_NerdWouldn't that kinda depend on what you make the new behaviour?
21:17:18MassaCurrently a WPS line will be send to wps_data_preload_tags-function; if that function detects one of the preload tags the whole line will be removed from further parsing.
21:18:03MassaIf it does not directly detect a preload tag it will put the whole line in the format_buffer for later "normal" parsing.
21:19:10MassaBecause of that behaviour currently tags which are handled by the wps_data_preload_tags function must be the only tag in a line and must start at the beginning of the line.

21:28:44Paul_The_NerdI imagine as long as whatever you do doesn't break existing WPSes, and provides an actual benefit, then it'll probably be okay.
21:29:08BHSPitMonkeyMikachu, so I ran testdisk, and it tried to recover it, and now it's more messed up

21:32:12Mister_XI've had it working on another now broken nano. Know about the tricky timing. But I think the thing is messed up..
21:32:33Mister_Xbecause, transfers to the device are super slow, and I can't get it to boot original firmware, ever.
21:32:34BHSPitMonkeyMikachu, if only I had the hard drive space :S
21:33:02Paul_The_NerdMister_X: Does it ever say "Loading original firmware"?
21:33:03MikachuBHSPitMonkey: what ipod is it?
21:33:13Mister_XIt tries. but then just jumps into the rockbox
21:33:16MassaPaul_The_Nerd: I want to do two things: first I want extend the parsing in wps_data_preload_tags so that it also detects tags which don't start on the first column.
21:33:16BHSPitMonkeyMister_X, on the nano, hardware diskmode is usb 1.1, and firmware diskmode is 2.0
21:33:16linuxstbBHSPitMonkey: Have you tried repartitioning in the same way you had it before?
21:33:18Mister_XIt does say it yes.
21:33:35BHSPitMonkeyMikachu, 30gb 5G
21:33:40Paul_The_NerdMister_X: It sounds like you may have improperly created the bootloader.
21:33:44Mister_XI think it's partition tables are screwed up. I think I may have tried to partition it twice. (install rockbox twice)
21:33:50Mister_Xmaybe yeah
21:33:52Mister_XHmm
21:33:52MikachuBHSPitMonkey: did you partition it exactly as the ipl install instructions said?
21:33:56Mister_XYep
21:34:01BHSPitMonkeylinuxstb, I don't know that I could nail the cylinder values, etc
21:34:03Mister_Xuh.. I did that twice

21:34:29Paul_The_NerdThat's the problem right there.
21:34:31MassaPaul_The_Nerd: Second I don't want it to automatically remove the detected tags from the format_buffer - maybe a return value which tells it to remove it...
21:34:35BHSPitMonkeyMikachu, the partition table was like this, [empty][ fat32 ~30gb ][linux]
21:34:39Mister_XAh sorry, responding to the wrong folks.. (I go as cartoonmonkey on the web)

21:35:24Paul_The_NerdMassa: Well, as I said, as long as it doesn't break existing WPSes, and is actually beneficial, it'll probably get accepted. Nobody can guarantee it will.
21:35:42MikachuBHSPitMonkey: i see
21:35:43Paul_The_NerdMister_X: Well, that's what caused your problem. And I doubt you have the bootpartition.bin from the *first* time.
21:35:58MikachuBHSPitMonkey: but i think as long as you have the start of the fat partition right, the end doesn't really matter
21:35:59Mister_XPaul: Yep, that's it.
21:36:07Mister_XArgh!
21:36:24Paul_The_NerdMister_X: THought it's *possible* that if you just write the bootpartition.bin from the second time back, it'll work as it's supposed to, as that would theoretically only have the one bootloader in it.
21:36:46BHSPitMonkeyMikachu, yeah, I think I'm gonna try and recreate the oversized FAT situation, then I'll have my files at least
21:36:46Mister_XSo.. I wonder if I downgrade my ipodupdater to an older version, it will blow away all my rockbox partitions..
21:36:50BHSPitMonkeyI'm fine with the linux one being lost
21:36:50 Quit uski (Read error: 110 (Connection timed out))
21:37:14MikachuBHSPitMonkey: i am guessing you put the partition on a block boundary, so there are only a couple of values to try
21:37:38Mikachuon the nano, the firmware partition is 10 blocks by default
21:37:40Mister_XPaul: I dunno man.. tried that.. it functions.. but everything is slow.. like 1/2 usb 1.0 speeds on transfers
21:37:54Paul_The_NerdMister_X: Tried what?
21:38:11Paul_The_NerdWhat does transfer speed have to do with booting into the Apple OS?
21:38:17Mister_XTried just putting the bootpartition.bin from the 2nd time back again
21:38:21Paul_The_NerdWe were discussing why your ipod cannot boot into Apple OS.
21:38:55tommeyerHi, I was trying to build the cross-compilers using rockboxdev.sh, and when I tried to build all, on two completely different Linux systems (an older Slackware, and a SUSE 10.1 box), it ended up not working in the same part (I think libcrt). However, just building ARM worked fine. Any ideas?
21:39:30Mister_XPaul: Yes, but it can, if I use ipodupdater.. everything is fine. I can then again apply the bootpartition.bin for rockbox from my 2nd try.. but then rockbox works, no original apple firmware.
21:39:53Mister_XAnd very slow transfer speeds
21:40:00Paul_The_NerdYou aren't answering the questions I'm actually asking.
21:40:13Mister_XOh oh
21:40:13tommeyerMore info: it died building the arm compiler, when building "all", but built it fine by itself.
21:40:17Paul_The_NerdI never asked anything about the Apple updater.
21:40:33Mister_XTranfer speed.. is normal usb 2.0 when I'm in the apple OS, when in rockbox, it is very very slow.
21:40:36Paul_The_NerdIf you use the Apple Updater to restore the Apple OS, then you should start the *whole* process over again. Don't reuse files
21:40:44Paul_The_NerdYou're NEVER transferring in Rockbox
21:40:45Mister_Xah
21:40:46Mister_Xok
21:40:53Paul_The_NerdRockbox reboots into Emergency Disk Mode
21:40:57Paul_The_NerdWhich on the iPod Nano is very slow
21:41:11Mister_Xbut looking at the drive using the manager tool in xp.. after updating Ipod using the updater, that rockbox partition is still there. I can see it..
21:41:31Paul_The_NerdWhat Rockbox partition?
21:41:35Paul_The_NerdRockbox doesn't require a special partition...
21:41:53Paul_The_NerdAll you do is install the bootloader, and copy some files
21:42:07Paul_The_NerdAnd to install the bootloader, you need to be working with a *clean* bootpartition.bin
21:42:10Mister_Xbut.. dosen't it create an 80 gig partition or so?
21:42:16Paul_The_NerdWe've already established that the one from your second attempt *wasn't* clean.
21:42:19Mister_Xright
21:42:21Mister_Xok ok
21:42:25Paul_The_NerdAlso.... 80 gigs?
21:42:31Paul_The_NerdWhat player do you have that has that much storage?

21:52:56ToyKeeperBlender wouldn't be a bad tool for rockbox themes.
21:53:48Mister_XNo I'd think you could do some very cool stuff with it
21:54:48ToyKeeperI used it to make web site themes a long time ago... it worked pretty well except that I have absolutely no graphic design skills. :)
21:55:11ToyKeeperDesign by random dabbling doesn't work so well...
21:55:23Mister_Xhaha
21:55:43Mister_XI dunno.. there's a lot of cool "generative" design programs out there that do cool stuff algorythmically..
21:56:19Mister_Xhttp://www.auto-illustrator.com/
21:56:27Mister_XCheck that crazy program out
22:00
22:01:01ToyKeeperI made the background I'm using with Fyre... fun program to play with.
22:01:57ToyKeeperOh, oops. I haven't made ff/rw/stop/pause icons yet.
22:02:03ToyKeeperI should probably do that.

22:53:17RednifreMaybe you can give me an advice. I'm thinking about buying an mp3-player. The iRiver 300 series seems to have a nice screen, but the description says nothing about video playback. I don't know much about rockbox, but does it have video playback and would it work on a H300?
22:53:19amiconn...should I stay or should I go...
22:53:59linuxstbBHSPitMonkey: The original, unmodified partitions?
22:54:44dionoea40 kbps/sec internet is horrible ...
22:55:20amiconnFOr irc it's sufficient :)
22:55:50dionoeakind of :)
22:56:17qwmwow amiconn, you actually smiled. :)
22:56:27Paul_The_NerdRednifre: Rockbox is just beginning to have video support, though right now it's without audio, and quite slow.
22:56:49linuxstbBHSPitMonkey: http://pastebin.ca/129985
22:56:49Paul_The_NerdRednifre: The international version of the original firmware supports 10fps video playback I believe.
22:56:53BHSPitMonkeylinuxstb, original is what I'm hoping for
22:57:01BHSPitMonkeythanks
22:57:01linuxstbBHSPitMonkey: That's the original.
22:57:07BHSPitMonkeythank you

22:57:47RednifreHm. What should I buy if I want video playback? The Video iPod is so expensive...
22:57:48qwmoh, i'll order one then.
22:58:00linuxstbPaul_The_Nerd: Does the Sansa do video?

22:58:56Bagderlinuxstb: it does
22:59:07Bagderbut not any particularly good
22:59:15Rednifrecan the ipod nano play videos?
22:59:23Rednifreor do i need ipod linux for that?
22:59:31 Part LinusN
22:59:36BHSPitMonkeyhow would I find out WHAT is making a resource/device busy? (ipod)
22:59:38linuxstbSo, how do you port Rockbox to a device with no available firmware upgrades from the manufacturer, and no sign of a firmware on the disk?
22:59:39freqmodrednifre: with ipodlinux, but only uncompressed
22:59:40amiconnhrrrmph!
22:59:40Paul_The_Nerdlinuxstb: Yeah, it does.
23:00
23:00:17linuxstbBHSPitMonkey: Are you in Linux?
23:00:26BHSPitMonkeyyes
23:00:36Paul_The_Nerdlinuxstb: I hear it's only MJPEG. You have to put stuff through this media converter it has (which oddly enough won't recognize the format it converts TO so you can't back them up on the PC and use it to sync them back later)
23:00:41RednifreHm, so the best choice for a cheap video player would be an iPod nano with rockbox and linux?
23:00:57linuxstbBHSPitMonkey: Then "lsof | grep /dev/sde" might work (replace sde with the drive)
23:01:13Paul_The_NerdRednifre: Sandisk Sansa is probably a better choice than that, if you're not looking for guaranteed Rockbox support.
23:01:19Paul_The_NerdSansa e200 series rather
23:01:31freqmodno, uncompressed video would fill up a 4 gb ipod nano with a few music videoes
23:01:57linuxstbThere's a new compressed video player for the Nano now in IPL, but I've no idea how good it is.
23:01:59RednifreWhat do you mean "uncompressed"? No DivX?
23:02:14BagderRednifre: uncompressed as in no compression as in far from divx
23:02:40freqmodrednifre: .wav sound and a series of .bmp images
23:02:46Rednifreuah!
23:02:52Bagderbut you should expect to transcode anyway
23:02:54Rednifrethat sounds not good
23:03:03Bagderno matter what I mean
23:03:35RednifreWhat's the best choice, if I want guaranteed rockbox support AND video?
23:04:06preglowipod 5g?
23:04:24Bagderthen there is no other player than ipod video
23:04:35Rednifreno cheap alternative?
23:04:38Bagderno
23:04:38linuxstbWhat about the X5?
23:04:44Bagderno other do video any good
23:04:48Rednifrewhats with the nano?
23:04:50BagderX5 does 13-15 Fps
23:04:59Bagderwith a supertiny screen
23:05:04Rednifreno problem
23:05:11Rednifrehmm
23:06:03linuxstbThere is a work-in-progress video player in Rockbox (video only, no sound), and that's performing best on the Nano so far. So it seems feasible Rockbox might have video playback on the Nano at some point.
23:07:17Rednifre...ANd there is iPod Linux... Maybe the nano is the best choice
23:08:18RednifreDid someone tried the blind interface? I'm not blind, but I like the idea of operating rockbox without looking on the screen (like while driving). How good is the blind interface?
