#rockbox log for 2006-09-13

00:00:11linuxstb_Yes, I would bet money on it being the same PP/Broadcom combination inside.
00:00:36preglowindeed
00:01:01Bagderit'd surprise me if they changed that
00:01:54BagderI mean given the looks and specs
00:02:02linuxstb_A new LCD wouldn't surprise me though...
00:02:44Bagderthe LCD seems to be changed since they mention a brighter one
00:02:53Bagderbut it might still be controlled the same way
00:03:02linuxstb_gopp: Go on, install Rockbox...
00:05:28dionoealinuxstb_: he doesn't have one :( bad joke
00:05:58linuxstb_You mean someone lied to me on the internet?
00:06:00SeymourGlassdunno , maybe its just me , but screen seems a bit brighter on full brightness as it used to be
00:07:10SeymourGlassI turn it down to 1/3 of brightness
00:07:14 Quit maara (" Like VS.net's GUI? Then try HydraIRC -> http://www.hydrairc.com <-")
00:09:17Avewill rockbox work with the revamped ipod nano product line?
00:09:27hardeephmmm, ipod video may still be same/similar hardware but it sounds like the nano is different
00:09:33BagderAve: possibly, yes
00:09:34Ave"everything is changed but the name" .. really now
00:09:54SeymourGlasswho care apod nano, when it reaches at least 20gb mark I might consider it a player
00:09:56Aveif only it was just a cosmetic upgrade
00:10:00SeymourGlassabout
00:10:05BagderI wonder if they went PP5024 on the new nano...
00:10:22Avewell I have 2G nano and its pretty spiffy for the size
00:10:41Avethe "tens of gigs" models are just way too bulky
00:10:50 Quit ender` (" I'd kill for a Nobel Peace Prize.")
00:10:51preglowBagder: doubt it
00:10:53Aveand fragile
00:10:59linuxstb_Bagder: That seems unlikely - would need a lot of firmware changes...
00:11:22BagderI would assume that they mostly need a new set of libs from PP
00:11:28Bagderbut you're right, its not likely
00:12:20linuxstb_I guess we'll find out in the next few days - people are sure to try Rockbox or IPL on them soon (or dissect them and publish photos).
00:12:32Bagderyeah
00:12:42Bagderthat's the benefit of a high profile player
00:12:53preglowaff
00:12:58preglowi want the bloody runtime issues solved
00:13:14preglowi don't think cpu usage is the only key
00:13:21Bagderme neither
00:13:33BagderI think its some initializing/HW usage
00:14:08Bagderin a similar style how that was the key to runtime issues on h300 and x5

00:14:34Arathissometimes scrolling goes just till the end and than scrolls back to start and doesn't scroll thourgh. can I make this static? or is it really just when the line isn't long enough and there would be a bigger space?

00:24:53midkayArathis: check Bidirectional Scroll Limit in the scrolling menu.
00:25:06midkayi think 0% means it always loops, if that's what you want.
00:25:16Arathisfor WPS?
00:25:21midkayeverywhere.
00:25:40Arathissorry, I didn't mention it. I just wanted it a a specific line in the WPS
00:26:00midkaythe higher the number, the longer the string can be before it decides to loop it.. e.g. 25% means that the string can be 25% wider than the LCD and it will go back and forth, otherwise loop..
00:26:04midkayfor one line? you can't do that.
00:28:56 Join webguest58 [0] (i=c33ae48c@gateway/web/cgi-irc/labb.contactor.se/session)
00:30:11webguest58hello...
00:30:59midkayhello...
00:31:00Arathismidkay: I think some works on the WPS creation is still needed :(
00:31:42midkayArathis: most definitely.. but it's very flexible as-is, i'm not aware of any other player that lets you change a single thing about the playing screen :) why do you need that, can i ask?
00:32:13webguest58excuse me, but how can i install boot loader for H-10 20 Gb? there is no info in manual =(
00:32:27midkaywebguest08: http://www.rockbox.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/IriverH10Port
00:33:09webguest58ok, thks
00:33:47midkaynp.
00:33:54Arathismidkay: for usability issues. I have a line for next track lformated "artist - track" and with normal scrolling it isn't that good to read because the space between ending and start is quite short
00:35:00midkayyou could always put a few spaces after the %ia - %it, e.g. "%ia - %it " so that there's a larger space when it does scroll, and when it doesn't scroll you can't see the spaces..
00:35:04Arathisalso positioning of progressbar isn't as fexible as I'd like it to be. only full line positioning for text at all isn't that designerfriendly too. :/
00:35:40midkayArathis: right, that aspect is hard because the WPS is entirely line-based otherwise.. making the progress bar x/y positionable introduces a bit of confusion i think.. that and it simply hasn't been done :)
00:35:57midkayentirely line-based except for bitmaps, that is..
00:36:19Arathistried that, but then when a artist+track text is short enough not to scrall even with the spaces at the end and align is center its left and lokks terrible..
00:36:29 Part Paul_The_Nerd
00:36:42midkayalign center, i see...
00:37:02midkayno way out really then.. i also agree that the space is too short though. that should be changed globally..
00:37:05Arathisprogressbar isn't x/y positionable. only line, hight and x1-x2 ;)
00:37:07midkaywhat about a space on each side or so?
00:37:19midkayArathis: exactly, that's why i said it'd be a problem to MAKE it x/y positionable. :)
00:37:31Arathisahh ^^
00:37:34mirak_amiconn: I get 0,4 fps in plus by doing the trick of inverting row and columns I talked about
00:38:03midkayArathis: so, have you tried a space on each side? " %ia - %it ".
00:38:15midkaythey should cancel each other out..
00:39:25Arathismidkay: for my WPS I had a square where current trackinfo is shown and I wanted it to be 3px from screenborder left and right which worked cause it's an image, but the text scrolled over the square border xD
00:40:01midkayArathis: aha.. those borders are also tricky.. but that's an entirely different problem from not having a far enough distance between a looping line.. :)
00:40:04Arathis..but would make small text scroll just because of the spaces. I'll leave it as is for now
00:40:32midkayArathis: it'd have to be so close to being long enough to scroll that you wouldn't even notice..
00:40:44midkaya space is only a few pixels.
00:41:17Arathisif my tracks all had the same name that would work, but the are named too different to work like this everytime
00:41:38Arathisone pixel sometimes is even too much ;)
00:41:43midkayhuh? two spaces total means the same exact distance regardless of the length of the name..
00:41:48Arathiswoo, bad grammer ..
00:42:08midkayso you're saying that you can tell if one pixel is causing the line to scroll? why does it matter then?
00:42:16Arathiswas speaking about the scrollproblem coming with this
00:42:27midkayand the scrollproblem is.. what?
00:42:40Arathiswhat you said right now
00:43:09Arathisa bit complicated. perhaps I'm already too tired right now. sry
00:43:31midkaya one-pixel difference? but my point is why does it matter? if it's only one pixel away from having to scroll, what's the problem with scrolling it? :)
00:45:16Arathisno, I ment it could be one pixel above scrolling so it scrolls one pixel left and back again
00:45:40Arathisdiscussion in a foreign language when being tired can be confusing ..
00:46:21Arathisbtw: you can't change the font for one line, do you? ..
00:46:47nudelynthe "this is part of a gapless album" tag in itunes doesn't seem to be needed for gapless playback of the album if crossfading is disabled globally. probably does just disable crossfading when playing the album, if crossfading is turned on globally.
00:46:58BagderArathis: nope
00:47:11Arathishmpf
00:47:28amiconnmirak_: (1) That's with the idct block in IRAM or DRAM? (2) How many fps do you reach now (and with what video)?
00:47:49mirak_that's with dct block still in sdram
00:47:56mirak_on a video of mine
00:48:16mirak_not full screen, that's 16/9
00:48:22 Quit Kohlrabi ("Quit")
00:48:36mirak_I doubt we can ever have a full screen video at 25fps :-/
00:48:39Arathismy playback time is on pixel on top within the bottom of my progressbar and if I place it one line below it just doesn't look right. And because I can't place the prograssbar where I want there is no solution for this :(
00:48:54nudelyngah, used to the rockbox controls, keep skipping tracks when i mean to enter menus :)
00:50:03midkayArathis: if you set Bidirectional Scroll Limit to 0%, no line will ever scroll back and forth. :)
00:50:14linuxstb_mirak: What FPS do you get with your video with the CVS version of Rockbox?
00:52:39mirak_amiconn: ok using the movem as much as possible including loading all row in one shot gave 1 fps boost.
00:52:57mirak_linuxstb: something around 13.5
00:52:59Arathisokay, scaled the progressbar, now progresbar and tracktime touch each other but won't cross :)
00:53:08mirak_I mean the peak at some point in the video
00:53:19Arathiswee. just finished my first WPS :D
00:53:22mirak_I get 2 fps overall
00:53:36mirak_with all the asm, and without iram for the block.

00:58:25mirak_linuxstb: the yuv to rgb could benefit of asm a lot
01:00
01:01:02amiconnmirak_: It would be more interesting to know the speedup with the idct block in iram
01:01:40amiconnI guess that's what we want, as it gives more speedup than the asm idct by itself
01:01:55amiconnAnd the yuv->rgb conversion is already assembler optimised
01:02:03amiconnlcd_yuv_blit() in the core
01:04:22amiconnmirak_: Coldfire has no bit rotation instruction, unlike cisc m68k

01:23:29thickso u build it by urself?
01:23:52LandusBuild from July 28th this year.
01:23:54LandusYeah.
01:24:06LandusI download the source, apply the patches, then build it.
01:25:13thickhm, daily rockbox cvs version doesn't include them?
01:25:42LandusCVS is bleeding edge. There may be problems. I don't use the CVS versions.
01:26:17thicki thought cvs and bleeding edge versions are not the same
01:26:50LandusCVS and bleeding edge versions are the same.
01:27:05LandusWhen you get the CVS version, you get the most current, up-to-date version there is.
01:27:17thicki mean builds
01:27:23LandusWhich also may have inherent bugs and problems that haven't been noticed.
01:28:24thickso patches are external?

02:33:31Paul_The_NerdThat there are rules?
02:33:36LandusNo. Those rules.
02:33:51Paul_The_NerdWell, those rules were proposed several months ago
02:33:56LandusI've been asking questions posting replies for several months.
02:33:59Paul_The_NerdThey were stickied in the old general discussion before the reorganization
02:34:07LandusMaybe one of them related to installing.
02:34:08Paul_The_NerdThey went into affect after the reorganization
02:34:18Paul_The_NerdYou *did* notice the reorganization right?

02:37:02Paul_The_NerdIt's fairly simple.
02:37:08Paul_The_NerdWhy is it a load of bull?
02:37:12LandusIt's why inactivity on the forums is decreasing.
02:37:18Paul_The_NerdYour question wasn't actually iRiver specfic
02:37:21Paul_The_Nerdspecific
02:37:23LandusYes. It was.
02:37:31LandusGo load the source for an iPod.
02:37:33LandusThen Iriver.
02:37:41LandusThat's why it was under Iriver.
02:37:48Paul_The_Nerd"load the source" doesn't mean anything
02:38:13LandusI've seen questions similar to mine asked before under the Iriver sub-topic and no one started causing waves.
02:38:18Paul_The_NerdAnd "inactivity" is a load of bull. August, the month after the reorganization, had 1100 more posts than July
02:38:34Paul_The_NerdLandus: REORGANIZATION. Perhaps you missed it. It's no the same "iRiver" subforum as before.
02:38:52Paul_The_NerdThat's why there's a POSTING IN THIS FORUM post, and wasn't before.
02:39:04LandusHow many posts were about the status of the reorganization, rather than actual questions.
02:39:34Paul_The_NerdLess than 50
02:39:39LandusHa.
02:39:53Paul_The_NerdOkay, go find me 1100 questions about the reorganization.
02:40:06LandusI never said all 1100 were about the reorganization.
02:40:12LandusPlease stop putting words in my mouth, thanks.
02:40:18Paul_The_NerdI never said you did.
02:40:21Paul_The_NerdSo stop putting words in mine.
02:40:22LandusYes. You just did.
02:40:29Paul_The_NerdNo, I told you to find 1100 posts about it
02:40:37Paul_The_NerdThat doesn't say "you said there were 1100 posts about it" now does it?
02:40:48LandusYes. It does.
02:40:52Paul_The_NerdHow?
02:40:56Paul_The_NerdI don't see the word "said" anywhere
02:40:58LandusOtherwise, you wouldn't have asked the question.
02:41:07Paul_The_NerdMaybe my question had another purpose?
02:41:14Paul_The_NerdPerhaps if you think about it, you'll see it
02:41:22Paul_The_NerdIt relates to the original topic of the forum inactivity increasing.
02:41:33LandusYes. Of course.
02:41:48LandusIt's the dozens of topics being locked and being started again!
02:42:03Paul_The_NerdThe dozens of topics wouldn't ever be locked if people followed the rules.
02:42:09LandusWhether or not there's rules on it, the forums have gotten extremely retarded.
02:42:11Paul_The_NerdAre rule breaches supposed to be ignored?
02:42:22LandusIt's against the law to download music and movies.
02:42:27LandusDo people still ignore those laws?
02:42:30Paul_The_NerdI hate to tell you, but on average people who've spoken up about the new rules and reorganization have been in favour of it.
02:42:42Paul_The_NerdIt is *especially* beneficial to people who actually use the forums to find and collate bug reports.
02:43:01Paul_The_NerdLandus: And the people who do ignore those laws shouldn't complain if they actually get busted for it.
02:43:15LandusFew have.
02:43:20LandusActually, my mistake.
02:43:21Paul_The_NerdBy posting in our forums, you agree to the rules. You lose any sympathy from me.
02:43:30Paul_The_NerdIf you don't like the rules, leave.
02:43:34LandusI agreed to the way it used to work.
02:43:41LandusThere weren't any troubles.
02:43:49Paul_The_NerdThere were plenty of troubles
02:44:13Paul_The_NerdFor one, people would frequently bring up playback issues that affected all targets in multiple places because nobody realized the playback code, much like the UI code, is cross platform
02:44:43Paul_The_NerdThe idea of the existing forums is that the vast majority of the source is cross platform, and should be discussed based on what the code tries to DO, not what it's doing it ON.
02:45:03Paul_The_NerdIf you'd posted yours in the UI customization area, anyone who knows the UI code could've responded.
02:45:09LandusWhen a topic is locked because of a pathetic reason as mine was, there's a problem.
02:45:16Paul_The_NerdA pathetic reason?
02:45:20LandusYes.
02:45:27scorcheoh wow...
02:45:31Paul_The_Nerd"You didn't follow the POSTING IN THIS FORUM" is a pathetic reason how?
02:45:40Paul_The_NerdDid you knowingly break the rules, or did you not know the rules?
02:46:01LandusUh.
02:46:10LandusGo look at all the topics under the Iriver subtopic.
02:46:11nudelynCan't you move topics to the right place? Or is that not possible with the forum software?
02:46:13LandusNot all of them are about installing.
02:46:24LandusSo don't give me that excuse.
02:46:30Paul_The_Nerdnudelyn: It's plenty possible, and I'll move them if it's clear that the person misunderstood where it belongs. But this isn't such a case.
02:46:34 Join scottder [0] (n=sdexter@ip70-188-142-96.ri.ri.cox.net)
02:46:44Paul_The_NerdLandus: Many of them are also about running the software from Flash Memory.
02:46:47nudelynfair enough. i don't know the details
02:47:04LandusEven if I did agree, my topic wasn't moved.
02:47:11Paul_The_NerdLandus: And this isn't about those posts. This is about yours. Some of those posts are grandfathered, or various other reasons.
02:47:28Paul_The_NerdLandus: As I said, yours wasn't moved because it was clearly a case of you not even bothering to try to put it in the right place
02:47:34LandusYeah. Another forum that's hit rock bottom.
02:47:47Paul_The_NerdA post that would be moved would, for example, be one that has problems with "Voice" and puts it in "Playback" because they thought the audio in voice was a playback issue
02:48:05LandusThe problem was specific to the Iriver source.
02:48:14LandusThere isn't another subtopic that deals with the Iriver source.
02:48:15Paul_The_NerdThere is no "iRiver source"
02:48:21LandusYes. There is.
02:48:26Paul_The_NerdThere is the "Rockbox source" which has iRiver specific portions of it.
02:48:36LandusOh bloody hell.
02:48:52LandusThat doesn't even deserve a response.
02:49:08Paul_The_NerdIs it in an #ifdef block that makes it only compile for iRiver targets?
02:49:19Paul_The_NerdBecause I seriously doubt there's coldfire-specific status bar cod.e
02:49:36scorcheLandus: ever considered the compiling and development forums?
02:49:36LandusNope. Settings, statusbar, and several other things are different depending on what DAP is used.
02:50:00LandusAfter this, I doubt I'll ever look at the rockbox forums again.
02:50:05Mikachuwhat a loss
02:50:09LandusI've had better luck with MisticRiver in the past.
02:50:10Paul_The_NerdOh no. I'm crying. Really.
02:50:21Paul_The_NerdThe "Compiling" forum is there for source-code related questions
02:50:22Paul_The_NerdALL of them.
02:50:35Paul_The_NerdHere's the kicker. Rockbox is written in C
02:50:46LandusNo. Really.
02:50:47Paul_The_NerdEven if someone doesn't have your DAP, they can read the C and figure out what it's doing, and change it
02:50:59Paul_The_NerdMeaning iPod users can quite easily help you with your problem, even if it really *does* only apply to iRivers.
02:51:14Paul_The_NerdThat's why the compiling forum *doesn't* have platform specific questions
02:51:18LandusThey could, but the problem is still Iriver specific.
02:51:24Paul_The_NerdNo.
02:51:27Paul_The_NerdThe problem is with the Rockbox source.
02:51:28LandusYes.
02:51:31LandusGoddamn it.
02:51:36midkayhaha.
02:51:39LandusIf I was using an iPod, I wouldn't be having this problem.
02:51:45LandusSo don't tell me no.
02:51:47Paul_The_NerdBecause the patch exists for it?
02:51:48midkayLandus: what is the problem then?
02:52:02midkaywhat sort of problem only affects one device?
02:52:16Paul_The_Nerdmidkay: He wants to use jBlackGlass
02:52:17LandusTrying to change the position of the statusbar, and nothing I've done has made any difference.
02:52:29Paul_The_NerdWhich, by the way, requires a patch on iPods too
02:52:36Paul_The_NerdBut he seems to have missed that.
02:52:48midkayso what's the problem with posting this in a general source code help forum? there are no iriver boards for it, so put it there. that's why we have it.
02:53:10LandusI'm done debating how my mind works.
02:53:17Paul_The_NerdIt doesn't matter how yours works.
02:53:18Mikachunot?
02:53:20Paul_The_NerdIt matters how ours does.
02:53:24Paul_The_NerdUnfortunately, they're not your forums.
02:53:41LandusYeah. That's why several decent people aren't active there anymore.
02:53:43Paul_The_NerdThis forum redesign was put up for discussion months ago
02:53:47Paul_The_NerdThere was *plenty* of time to offer objections.
02:54:02LandusI didn't know it was going to be run like a police state.
02:54:09*Mikachu mentions basements and leopards
02:54:09Paul_The_NerdLandus: If you consider yourself a "decent" person, I don't think I'll miss them.
02:54:09LandusIf I had, I would've.
02:54:13*scorche recalls the hitchhikers guide to the galaxy
02:54:13midkayLandus: what exactly about the problem REQUIRES you to put it in an iriver board? now, not only will iriver devs look at it, but EVERYBODY.
02:54:17Paul_The_NerdLandus: "Police state" meaning "We enforce the rules that we post"?
02:54:32LandusYes. Exactly.
02:54:59Paul_The_NerdI'm sorry, but it's somewhat inconceivable that we'd post rules then consciously ignore violations of them.
02:55:20LandusIf your going to have an Iriver subtopic, don't have it right there in the middle of the forum.
02:55:33midkayit clearly says "getting started/installation"..
02:55:43Paul_The_NerdLandus: There's also a handy "POSTING IN THIS FORUM" topic.
02:55:47LandusHave you given it thought that perhaps newcomers are going to have the "Oh, I own <insert DAP model here>! I guess my question goes here."
02:55:53Paul_The_NerdThe posting guidelines for the whole forums tell you to read those before posting.
02:56:16LandusNo one reads them because posting guidelines are common sense.
02:56:21midkayLandus: so paul corrected your mistake, and now you're complaining. Now You Know, so get over it and put it where it belongs, hm?
02:56:22LandusYou don't have obscure rules.
02:56:37Paul_The_NerdLandus: The rules aren't obscure. It's stickied and in all caps
02:56:42LandusYes. They are.
02:56:44Mikachunot reading guidelines and then complaining is just plain old stupid
02:56:54Paul_The_NerdLandus: And the Getting Started / Installation is on the front page as the category for those forums
02:57:01Paul_The_NerdThe category headers aren't just "fluff"
02:57:07Paul_The_NerdOverlooking the rules is understandable though
02:57:14midkayLandus: i can see making the mistake. i can't see learning the mistake you made and complaining on IRC about it instead of learning from it.
02:57:22LandusYes. You do.
02:57:26Paul_The_NerdComplaining when you get called on it, instead of just saying "Oops, I missed the rules" and putting it in the right spot next time, is NOT acceptable behaviour though
02:57:34LandusBut everyone's making a big stink about it.
02:57:41LandusIt was the way it was went about.
02:58:35Paul_The_NerdWhat, I locked the post, because it was clearly in the wrong place.
02:58:40*midkay likes the way Landus went about "we need to get that guy removed from mod status because he corrected one of my mistakes"...
02:58:45LandusIf it's just installing only, the line above subtopics for each model shoudn't say Getting Started / Installation / Removal
02:58:56Paul_The_NerdIf I move the post, if you have it bookmarked or watched, you can go back to it without ever knowing it was moved
02:59:04midkayit's for getting started, installation, and removal. it is NOT for coding or patching problems..
02:59:12Paul_The_NerdWhat about programming has to do with any of those three?
02:59:21LandusGetting Started.
02:59:35Paul_The_NerdNo.
02:59:43scorcheprogramming is advanced material...far from "getting started"
02:59:47Paul_The_NerdVery, very far.
02:59:49LandusI'm done with this.
02:59:55Mikachufinally
02:59:57midkayhaha. because people who want to Get Started with rockbox reaally wanna learn how to modify the source..
03:00
03:00:12Paul_The_NerdAt this point it's quite clear you're just trying to make excuses.
03:00:24LandusNope. I'm going to make it quite simple.
03:00:37Mikachui thought you said you were done :(
03:00:37midkayand three forums down i see "Getting started and compiling".. now i wonder which suits the problem better..
03:00:54LandusIt is your forum. Unfortunatly, if the majority of people using Rockbox don't like the way it's run, it won't be as popular as it should be.
03:01:02scorchehave you taken a poll?
03:01:05midkaymajority of people, or one user with a grudge?..
03:01:36Paul_The_NerdAs I've said, more people have complimented the new layout than spoken against it.
03:01:37LandusI know I'm not the only user disgusted.
03:01:53Paul_The_NerdAnd so far, you're the second person who's actually spoken to us about it and not eventually realized the redesign was much more efficient
03:01:54LandusBecause anyone that speaks against it will get this.
03:02:04Mikachuwhat is "this"?
03:02:13Paul_The_NerdLandus: You're not speaking out against the design. You're speaking out against the fact that we enforced it.
03:02:15Paul_The_NerdThere's a big difference
03:02:18nudelynSo you knew it was the wrong place to post it already? If not how can you have know other people want to post things in the wrong place?

03:02:28jdGordon|Unihey all
03:02:28Paul_The_NerdIf you came in here and said "Guys, I really don't like the new forum layout and rules" we might have listened
03:02:32LandusYes. Because you run it like a grammar Nazi calls someone on crappy spelling.
03:02:42Paul_The_NerdBut you came in and complained about the fact that your post was actually *subject* to the rules
03:02:59Paul_The_NerdLandus: Guess what: MANY of our users depend on machine translation or text readers
03:03:07Paul_The_NerdBad spelling makes the forums *vastly* harder for them to use
03:03:07MikachuLandus: a grammar nazi complains about grammar, not spelling. that would be a spelling nazi.
03:03:12Paul_The_NerdAnd anyone can have good spelling if they try
03:03:22LandusThat's the proper term.
03:03:26*Mikachu does his best to help the situation
03:03:33LandusBut you hear grammar Nazi the most.
03:03:40LandusYou still understand what I'm referring to.
03:03:40nudelynmade me laugh Mikachu :)
03:03:43Paul_The_NerdActually, "Nazi" in this context is never the proper term
03:03:55Paul_The_NerdSince it's actually referring to a specific political party that has nothing to do with grammar or spelling
03:04:19Mikachuit is perhaps a humoristic reference to the fact that they would kill anyone who disagreed with them
03:04:25LandusTrue, but you still understand the example.
03:04:27Paul_The_NerdBut the thing is, we ask people to watch their spelling to make the forums more usable by everyone
03:04:31LandusYou're just trying your best to deface it.
03:04:33Paul_The_NerdIs it really *harmful* to you to try to spell properly?
03:04:41LandusNo. That's where your wrong.
03:04:46Paul_The_Nerd"you're"
03:04:54LandusYeah. Yeah.
03:05:00LandusYou're trying to make them more useable for yourself.
03:05:05Paul_The_NerdMyself?
03:05:06LandusAnd those that use them the most.
03:05:18Paul_The_NerdI speak English natively, and can read the screen
03:05:24Paul_The_NerdI can decipher and understand nearly every post in there.

03:05:40Nuky:O
03:05:47LandusIf someone asks a question in the wrong forum and instantly gets it locked.
03:05:55Paul_The_NerdLandus: They also get told *why* it's locked.
03:05:59LandusDo you think they're going to continue to try and use the program.
03:06:00Nukyumm
03:06:12Nukyi have a question about rockbox
03:06:13Nuky:/
03:06:15Paul_The_NerdLandus: It's common etiquette upon entering a forum to read its rules.
03:06:20scorcheNuky: feel free to ask
03:06:24Paul_The_NerdNuky: Go ahead. I can help you while arguing with him. :)
03:06:29LandusYeah. That might make you feel better, but it doesn't help the user that's now probably upset along with confused.
03:06:34Nukyis it possible that it can fuck up my ipod?
03:06:46Mikachuonly you can do that :)
03:06:49Landus^
03:06:54Nukyhm
03:06:56scorcheLandus: how is the user confused?...he gets told why it was locked
03:06:58Nukyis it easy to install
03:07:00Mikachudon't pay too much attention to me
03:07:05Paul_The_NerdLandus: One thing you might have noticed is that in *many* cases, I'll answer the question and move the topic, especially if it's clearly a new-user type question.
03:07:11LandusBut you didn't.
03:07:15Paul_The_NerdLandus: You seem to be judging the whole system based upon your experiences with it.
03:07:25LandusNope. I've seen other people become irritated.
03:07:39LandusI've heard people come into #misticriver and complain a few times.
03:07:42Paul_The_NerdOther people who also didn't follow the rules?
03:07:46LandusNote, that channel isn't on FreeNode.
03:08:03Paul_The_NerdIf they want the rules changed, perhaps they should actually start a topic in general discussion voicing how they think they could be improved.
03:08:14LandusYes. Because your rules are retarted and poorly thought out with the current way the topics are set up.
03:08:17Paul_The_NerdAs I said, they had months of time to offer suggestions on the concept we posted.
03:08:38Paul_The_NerdThe rules have a goal, which is to put discussion where *we* feel it belongs
03:08:47LandusWhich is my point.
03:09:03Paul_The_Nerd"We" being primarily those people who designed the software, and know it best, and what topics discussion of it most likely belongs divided into.
03:09:07LandusWhat 'we' feels is pointless, because 'we' isn't new people using Rockbox.
03:09:12Paul_The_NerdThe core developers were a source of primary feedback on this reorganization.
03:09:27Mikachuwhere did you get the idea that new people are important in any way?
03:09:38Paul_The_NerdAlso, what does this have to do with new people at all?
03:09:42Paul_The_NerdYour post was clearly not a new-people post.
03:09:49*Mikachu puts on his "i don't represent anyone" hat
03:09:52Paul_The_NerdAnd honestly, it's rare that I get an "installation" question in the wrong place
03:09:57Paul_The_NerdWhich is what a "new people" post is.
03:09:59LandusNope. Not really. I actually did this on purpose just to see what would happen.
03:10:10LandusI had every intention of asking on MisticRiver later.
03:10:13Paul_The_NerdYou intentionally broke the rules, to see if you would get called on it?
03:10:19Paul_The_NerdGood job, we enforce them.
03:10:22LandusYes. Just so I could point out what I'm saying.
03:10:28Mikachuthat you are an idiot?
03:10:29Paul_The_NerdThat was rather silly of you.
03:10:32LandusYes. You enforce them. And your going to drive people away.
03:10:42Paul_The_NerdIt would be easier to say "Hey, guys, you actually enforce your new rules. I don't like it."
03:10:48Paul_The_NerdDrive people away?
03:10:52LandusEnforcing them is besides the point.
03:10:57Paul_The_NerdDo we *want* people that can't deal with the fact that we enforce rules?
03:11:05Paul_The_NerdMost people can rather easily say "Oops, there are rules" and then follow them.
03:11:05scorche<Landus> Yes. You enforce them. And your going to drive people away.
03:11:10scorchebesides the point?
03:11:12***Saving seen data "./dancer.seen"
03:11:17LandusDude. Get off the 'enforcing rules' thought. That isn't the big problem.
03:11:32LandusIt's getting a bit annoying too.
03:11:53Paul_The_NerdIf you don't like the rules, offer up better ones.
03:11:59Paul_The_NerdDo you even know what the focus of our redesign was?

03:12:32Paul_The_NerdIf it's not the rules, what *exactly* is your problem?
03:13:00LandusYou've got four subtopics that have the most common models that Rockbox is used on and expect people to post installation only questions.
03:13:05Arathishaving a problem with my WPS. the progressbar shows weird pixels that shouldn't be there: http://www.sinlos.net/dirk/h10/pb-error.png
03:13:26LandusMake one subtopic called 'Installation Problems' and through those four subtopics to make sub-subtopics.
03:13:28Paul_The_NerdBecause they're in a category called "Getting Started / Installation / Removal" and have nice, stickied, all caps posts called "POSTING IN THIS FORUM" in them
03:13:32Paul_The_NerdMOST people seem to actually get the clue
03:13:37MikachuLandus: is it hard to get through your thick head that if you have a problem that isn't installation specific, you don't post in in a player specific forum?
03:13:38LandusBull.
03:13:47Paul_The_NerdBull? I read *every* post on the forums, period
03:13:59LandusThe several hundred topics being closed because people don't do that is why I did this.
03:14:02Paul_The_NerdI think if anyone is actually in a position to have a feel for the distribution of posts, it's me.
03:14:06LandusThe same thing keeps happening.
03:14:11Paul_The_NerdThe several *hundred*?
03:14:20LandusSomeone posts in the wrong subforum and it gets closed.
03:14:39LandusThey usually never post again.
03:14:55Paul_The_NerdThere are ~270 posts in the whole installation section
03:15:09Paul_The_NerdIf "several hundred" were closed, that would mean less than 70 were open
03:15:21LandusPerhaps it feels like several hundred.
03:15:21SoapOMG, Landus is still being the provocateur?
03:15:26LandusI never kept count.

03:15:34Paul_The_NerdLandus: Evidently you aren't much for "real" numbers.
03:15:45MikachuLandus: are you just going on about this because you've got nothing better to do?
03:15:46Soap45 minutes.
03:15:57LandusYeah. About right.
03:16:00Mikachu(and Paul_The_Nerd too apparently)
03:16:01LandusUntil someone listens.
03:16:10LandusNow, the only reason I went this way because if I came here and said this, everyone would disagree.
03:16:15LandusThis way, I have proof.
03:16:15Paul_The_NerdLandus: The Archos, Apple, iRiver and Cowon forums *are* in a subcategory for installation. It can't be our fault if people don't actually *read* the category header.
03:16:28Paul_The_NerdProof of *what* exactly?
03:16:30LandusNo one rarely does.
03:16:39Mikachuyou could name the subforums "installation problems with $model"
03:16:41LandusBecause 9 out of 10 times, you get the same general rules.
03:16:53Paul_The_NerdSo, your problem is that "People don't read the category" not actually that there's anything wrong with the forum other than we expect people to read before posting.
03:16:57LandusDon't ask stupid questions, don't flame, etc.
03:17:06SoapAccusing Llorean of being out of line, even if legit, is kind of like the pot calling the kettle black at this fucking point, is it not Landus?
03:17:12LandusHey. I'm just pointing out a common fact.
03:17:28Paul_The_NerdA common fact: "People make assumptions about the forum before posting, then get irritated when those assumptions are wrong"
03:17:32Paul_The_NerdThis is what you've said.
03:17:39Paul_The_NerdOr at least, this is how it can best be summarized
03:18:04TrueJournalsHey... I'm having some trouble building rockbox on Windows XP SP2 using cygwin... You can see the errors I get at http://www.kangodo.com/Rockbox.txt ... can anyone help me?
03:18:06 Quit Nuky ("« Ë×Çü®§îöñX » Info«v10B.3.3» Released«March 01 2006» Channel«#Excursion o")
03:18:14LandusActually, I started mentioning Llorean because I thought I heard Paul him say he was him ages ago.
03:18:27TrueJournals(I just put the last couple of lines with errors from running make)
03:18:54Paul_The_NerdLandus: And because Llorean locked your post for being in a horribly wrong place, and you complained to him about it, TRYING to justify it being in the right place, clearly showing you didn't know the rules of the forum.
03:18:54LandusTrueJournals: There's a line filter. Join #flood and post the errors in there.
03:18:58MikachuTrueJournals: more details, what player etc?
03:19:11LandusNope. I just felt like debating.
03:19:11TrueJournalsTrying to build for the H10 20 GB
03:19:21SoapI mean, seriously Landus, follow the posting guidelines or not. Be an adult. Follow the rules, leave, or get the thread locked. What is the big fucking deal. Make an aduld decision.
03:19:22jdGordon|Uniim boooorreeedd.. and half asleep
03:19:29LandusI did.
03:19:30MikachujdGordon|Uni: read the last hour of log
03:19:31Paul_The_NerdLandus: You felt like debating that it was valid, even though you knew that it wasn't?
03:19:31Soap*adult
03:19:34MikachujdGordon|Uni: sure to get you sleeping
03:19:37LandusUh.
03:19:48Paul_The_NerdTrueJournals: I heard BMPViewer needs to be removed from the H10 builds until it has keymappings.
03:19:51jdGordon|Unino i need to wake up....
03:19:57LandusIf I really wanted my question answered right now, do you honestly think I would've kept debating this long?
03:19:58MikachujdGordon|Uni: oh heh, don't then
03:20:07LandusI would've gone and put it in the right subtopic.
03:20:18TrueJournalsPaul_The_Nerd: ah! Thanks! How would I do this? Just remove the files for BMPViewer or what?
03:20:23SoapSo then be an adult and STFU about it.
03:20:27MikachuTrueJournals: you can remove bmpviewer.c from apps/plugins/SOURCES
03:20:29Paul_The_NerdTrueJournals: In the /apps/plugins/SOURCES file, remove the BMPViewer line
03:20:37TrueJournalsok, thanks
03:21:00LandusSoap: I keep on it just to see you get red in the face.
03:21:01Landus:P
03:21:08SoapLet's say you are right. You have no power. No power to change the forum rules. Obviously no power to change the forum mods' minds. Be an adult and back the freak down.
03:21:13Paul_The_NerdLandus: There are rules. Follow them, post as to why you think they're harmful to the forums, or shut up and leave. It's fairly simple.
03:21:34Paul_The_NerdEveryone has the power to change the rules, by coming up with better ones that achieve the same goals for the forum and suggesting them.
03:21:35Landus...
03:21:46Soapimpotent imbecile
03:21:46Paul_The_NerdBut bear in mind, you have to change *my* mind about the existing ones, or get me thrown out.
03:21:50LandusOkay.
03:22:00LandusLast time I'm repeating myself.
03:22:10Paul_The_NerdLandus: You said it's not about the rules, I know
03:22:12LandusEverything I did was for the sole purpose of proving what I've been saing.
03:22:15LandusSaying, rather.
03:22:29Paul_The_NerdBut you've not proven anything.
03:22:34LandusYeah. I did.
03:22:36Mikachuthat you wanted to troll for a couple of hours?
03:22:41Paul_The_NerdWhat did you prove, exactly?
03:23:02LandusWhat I've been saying.
03:23:03Mikachumaybe we can hook you up with protricity
03:23:15Paul_The_NerdLandus: Just put it as a simple statement
03:23:18Paul_The_NerdYou've been wandering all over the place
03:23:23Paul_The_NerdComplained about the fact that rules are enforced
03:23:24SoapAnd you have made your point, you have been heard. We are validating your feelings. Your feelings are real. But that doesn't make them right in this context/.
03:23:31Paul_The_NerdComplained about the fact that we expect people to read categories
03:23:37Paul_The_NerdComplained that we reorganized the layout
03:23:43Paul_The_NerdWhat *exactly* is your point, summarized?
03:23:48Paul_The_NerdWhat *exactly* did you prove?
03:24:15LandusThat the forums aren't entirely new-user friendly, and enforcing the rules to the point doesn't keep many people around.
03:24:27SoapPoint taken
03:24:30 Nick Nibbier is now known as Nibbler (n=sven@e181082042.adsl.alicedsl.de)
03:24:33Paul_The_NerdAh. No, you haven't proved that. But, now I know your point.
03:24:34Paul_The_Nerdbegone.
03:24:35Mikachuhow did you prove that, you're still here?
03:24:45LandusA few people /msg'ed me.
03:24:59SoapPaul_The_Nerd said the number of posts is increasing, not decreasing. So the validity of your point, Landus, should be brought into question.
03:25:01LandusSo I know it isn't just me that thinks this.
03:25:17LandusWhether or not that's true, that's really not a big deal.
03:25:18SoapBirds of a feather/.
03:25:40Paul_The_NerdLandus: As I've said, people with a complaint in the forums are free to bring up that complaint.
03:25:41LandusIt could easily mean that people that have been here for awhile are asking alot of questions.
03:25:42Mikachucan't see all the trees until you cross the river
03:25:44Paul_The_Nerdstart a thread in General Discussion
03:26:03Paul_The_NerdI won't lock a thread just because it's critical to me, as long as nobody swears (and even then, I'll just edit out the curse words)
03:26:13Paul_The_NerdI don't care if you call the rules stupid, or whatever, as long as you try to come up with a way to make them better.
03:26:28LandusDebating over a message board is like competing in the special olympics.
03:26:43 Quit jdGordon|Uni ("CGI:IRC (EOF)")
03:26:44Paul_The_NerdAnd IRC is better?
03:26:45Mikachuhahaha, are you calling yourself a retard now?
03:26:59Paul_The_NerdOn the message board ideas can actually be collated into an improved set of rules
03:27:00LandusI never kept this debate on the forums.
03:27:02Mikachucan you come to my house? i want to frame you and put you on the wall
03:27:05LandusYes, they can.
03:27:11Paul_The_NerdI promise you, when I leave this channel I will forget 100% if what you said.
03:27:17LandusBah.
03:27:25LandusThen I'll have to bring it up when you come back.
03:27:26Paul_The_NerdBut if you take it up in the proper place, maybe you and some other discontents can come up with some suggested changes I'll like
03:27:31Landus*wink*
03:27:35Paul_The_NerdSo far you've been entirely non-helpful in how we can improve it
03:27:37 Part Mikachu ("_")
03:27:40Paul_The_NerdYou've offered "evidence" that's untrue
03:27:46LandusOh, it's true.
03:27:49Paul_The_NerdWe have both more registered users, more posts, AND more multiple-post users.
03:28:04Soapand that's just BigMac
03:28:08Paul_The_NerdHahaha
03:28:10LandusSeveral people have told me that they agree.
03:28:20LandusYou, however, might have your opinion that it isn't.
03:28:23Paul_The_Nerd"Several people" does not mean inactivity is increasing.
03:28:36LandusI said that just to keep the debate going.
03:28:40Paul_The_NerdSo, you lied
03:28:47LandusIt's like adding paper to a simmering fire.
03:28:49Paul_The_NerdAs I said, "evidence" that is untrue.
03:28:59LandusMaybe I did, maybe I didn't.

03:29:27Paul_The_NerdHell, file a feature request with a new rules outline
03:29:39LandusAnd have to check back every hour or so and reply to each and every person.
03:29:40Paul_The_NerdThere are better ways than complaining that we actually enforced our current rules.

03:31:55Paul_The_NerdBut, remember, *nothing* will change unless you come up with a suggestion for something that's better and keeps our goal in mind
03:31:55LandusWhat I was saying before X-Chat died, is that if I don't reply to someone that has a disagreement over the forums, it'll look like I'm avoiding a question.
03:32:11LandusIt's a small problem that can be easily fixed. Not something I'm going to take a week to debate over.
03:32:28Paul_The_NerdHow would you fix it then, while keeping the current goal in mind?
03:32:42LandusAgain, I'm not in charge of anything on Rockbox, so I'm not going to affected as much as the project itself would be.
03:32:58LandusI'm just pointing this out so it doesn't become a bigger problem in the future.
03:33:10*Paul_The_Nerd waits for how it can be easily fixed.
03:33:33LandusI already gave at least one possible way to fix it.
03:34:29Paul_The_NerdWhat was that, exactly? I don't remember anything like that.
03:34:53LandusDon't have subtopics that have the model of DAPs that Rockbox runs on in plain sight.
03:34:58LandusIt gives the wrong impression.

03:38:19LandusYes.
03:38:26LandusYou did understand what I was saying.
03:38:41LandusThanks.
03:38:51Paul_The_NerdLandus: As I said about 50 times, I'm willing to listen to reasonable suggestions.
03:38:58Paul_The_NerdBut complaints about the fact that I enforce the rules, are not reasonable.
03:40:32Febs<Landus> Now I'm beginning to see why the forums on MisticRiver are more active that the ones at rockbox.
03:40:44Landusadjdshdskhakwldfjakldsfja
03:40:45FebsFor the record, I close WAY more threads at Mistic River than I close here.
03:40:58LandusPhew.
03:41:05LandusI didn't feel up for another round.
03:41:10LandusWell, now that that is out of the way, there was some truth to what I originally posted.
03:41:19LandusI can't get the statusbar to change it's position.
03:41:23LandusAnyone want to take a swing?
03:41:57LandusI've got both the .c and header file open.
03:43:26Paul_The_NerdBeyond just changing STATUSBAR_Y_POS's value?
03:44:37LandusIs the Y axis value what moves it farther down?
03:44:40Paul_The_NerdYes
03:44:47Paul_The_NerdIncrease it to move it further down.
03:44:52LandusI have.
03:44:55 Part pixelma
03:45:09LandusI've got it set at 8 and it won't budge.
03:46:10LandusIs there anything else that needs to be done?
03:47:01FebsCatching up with the logs:
03:47:02Febs<Landus> Nope. Not really. I actually did this on purpose just to see what would happen.
03:47:11Paul_The_NerdLandus: Did you increase statusbar height as well?
03:47:43FebsYou pull shit like that, and YOU'RE going to drive people away.
03:48:11FebsPeople like me, who enjoy helping people, but are getting *really* sick of people whining about the way that we choose to provide help.
03:48:19Paul_The_NerdLandus: What I would do first is leave STATUSBAR_Y_POS at 0, change the height to 16, and then go to one of the calls, like the one that draws the clock or volume level, and find the Y part of the call (should have STATUSBAR_Y_POS in the call) and do like, +8 to it, and see if that moves that icon.

07:54:27fatherforkI use rockbox on my iPod, but I'm thinking about going back to the original firmware because the simplicity is almost enough to make me not care. rockbox is a hassle.
07:54:39fatherforkjust a thought.

07:58:52aliaskfatherfork: Any particular parts that you think we should focus on?
07:59:50fatherforkya know.. maybe on the installer front, it would be a lot easier to upgrade if we had a supported...installer
07:59:59fatherforksupported
08:00
08:00:44fatherforkand while there are customizable wps's, the other screen still seem cluttered
08:00:48fatherforkscreens
08:01:06aliaskWhat do you mean by cluttered? Like how the menu isn't really intuitive?
08:01:24fatherforkyes, but i know that's being actively worked on...
08:02:07fatherforkthe menubar at the top... it, takes away from any simplistic look
08:02:16fatherforka lot
08:02:20scorchewell, i do admit that an installer would be nice, but you only have to replace the bootloader once, and that is just typing the commands on the wiki word for word

08:02:43aliaskI'm actually sorta thinking about doing something about the statusbar - it's by far the ugliest part of rockbox IMO
08:02:50fatherforkthis is true, however a little knowledge is still required
08:03:13aliaskAlso, because the bootloader is the first thing you have to do - it scares away new users.
08:03:28fatherforkwow that would be fantastic, and I agree about it being the ugliest part
08:03:42fatherforkyeah, it was a little daunting when I first saw it
08:03:50aliaskMy C skills are pretty limited, so what I come up with probably won't get into CVS.
08:04:17aliaskPerhaps someone will take the idea and go from where I'm up to, who knows.
08:04:30fatherforkwould be a step forward for sure

08:04:51nudelynAnyone know the history of "A bright coloured fish" in the ID3 APIC tag specification? :)
08:05:12scorchei wonder how people would respond to me making an installer...i wouldnt think that the devs would have an issue with it as long as i make it simple, disclose source and everything
08:05:48aliaskWe just need someone with windows GUI coding experience, I'm sure there are people out there...
08:05:55aliasknudelyn: No, what is it?
08:06:06scorchewell, the problem is, is i would make it in python...
08:06:22scorche(most liekly)
08:06:34nudelynI dunno! I think it's a joke, but I wonder where it came from. :) http://www.oreillynet.com/digitalmedia/blog/2004/02/a_bright_coloured_fish.html and http://www.id3.org/id3v2.4.0-frames.txt
08:06:34aliaskI think a cmdline app would defeat the purpose... (python is shell right?)
08:07:07scorchei could make an executable
08:07:30*scorche <3 wxpython
08:07:50aliaskBut is the executable GUI or still commandline?
08:07:54fatherforktoo bad it wouldn't help me
08:08:01*fatherfork is a mac user
08:08:04scorchegui
08:08:28aliaskYeah, we also need to consider mactarded people.
08:08:33scorcheas you said...command line would defeat the purpose
08:08:35fatherforkhaha
08:08:41scorcheah..yeah
08:09:04fatherforkI tried to learn cocoa once. yeah I remember that day.
08:09:35scorchebut macs have python integrated (dont they?)....command line would be easy
08:09:41amiconnWe don't need yet another installer
08:10:01aliaskamiconn: What's the harm?
08:10:02scorchei know we dont need it, but it would be nice for many people
08:10:05amiconnWhat would be nice are 2 things. (1) Adapt the existing installer to be usable for all targets
08:10:41 Quit volt ("( www.nnscript.de :: NoNameScript 4.02 :: www.XLhost.de )")
08:11:33scorcheall the existing installer does is extract to the root of the device right?
08:11:35amiconn(2) A tool which can be used by the installer to handle the special, target-specific operations. Patch of with bootloader for iriver, inject the bootloader for ipod etc
08:11:42*aliask checks out this existing installer
08:11:49*scorche thinks that the installer is/was only for the archos players
08:12:50amiconnscorche: Yes it is, but the installation process is the same for all targets, apart from the first-time installation that involves patching on most newer targets
08:14:01scorchei was suggesting creating a "tool" which would handle the bootloader (non extract parts)
08:16:31amiconnOkay, that would be part (2) from my list
08:17:13amiconnBut I don't think using a scripting language for that would be a good idea,
08:17:14scorcheit isnt like python cant interact with C

08:23:37aliaskHrm, on that topic, does anyone know if Apple changed the guts of the players?
08:23:44Paul_The_NerdNobody's confirmed either way yet.
08:24:06Paul_The_NerdThe Nano 2G is clearly changed at least minorly since it's smaller and yet has a good bit more battery life
08:24:07scorchei am guessing the new nanos use the samsung
08:24:28Paul_The_NerdIt seems likely
08:24:35aliaskThey're also claiming 75% more video playtime, no broadcom chip? :D
08:24:36BagderI doubt that
08:24:46scorcheoh?
08:24:48scorchewhy?
08:24:56Bagderseems like a pretty major change
08:24:57Paul_The_NerdThey probably just put a bigger battery in the 5.5G
08:25:43Paul_The_NerdI wouldn't be at all surprised if it's a functionally identical LCD that happens to have a brighter light, a bigger battery, and in some cases a new HD.
08:25:52scorcheyeah...it would be...but ya never know
08:25:56Paul_The_NerdOh, and of course "Rockboxalike features"
08:26:34aliaskI like the way the search appears to work though - dynamically updating as you enter text.
08:27:07scorchei love those kind of searches...
08:27:21Paul_The_NerdI'm sure text prediction could be added to tagcache in the future.
08:27:32fatherforkbold
08:27:45aliaskPeople seem to have forgotten about playlist searching on rockbox... I use that so much more than tagcache.
08:27:46scorchetext prediction...not so much
08:28:10Paul_The_Nerdaliask: It could be used in a playlist as well.
08:28:17Paul_The_NerdI've never ever searched in a playlist though
08:28:29Paul_The_NerdOf course, I don't use TagCache either.
08:28:39Paul_The_NerdSo I haven't exactly searched in that either.
08:28:52aliaskI tend to create large playlists on shuffle and search if I want to listen to something specific.
08:28:59Paul_The_NerdAh
08:29:08Paul_The_NerdIf I want to search for something specific, I browse to it and "Queue Next"
08:29:24aliaskI do that too sometimes... oh rockbox - the choices! :)
08:30:02Paul_The_NerdI'm still surprised that they're finally claiming gapless. I wonder how well it works
08:30:30fatherforkdoes "queue next" insert the song between the current and next song?
08:30:40aliaskSure does.
08:30:48fatherforknice
08:30:59aliaskiTunes didn't use to rip in gapless - it'd insert them.
08:31:06Paul_The_NerdThere's also "Queue Last" which appends to the end of the playlist, and "Queue" which queues after the most recently queued song
08:31:42fatherforkand if there is no recently queued song? it goes next?
08:31:43Paul_The_NerdIf you Queue Next A, B, and C you get them in your list as CBA, so you need to Queue Next, Queue, Queue to get ABC (I never remember what Queue defaults to, so I never bother using it first)
08:32:21fatherforkgotcha
08:33:18Paul_The_NerdY'know what phrase that arbitrarily irritates me, that I shall bring up here? MP4 player.
08:33:39Paul_The_NerdI seriously doubt there's a device out there that plays everything that qualifies as a valid MP4 file.
08:34:02aliaskIt's basically come to mean H.264 (or whatever it is)
08:34:28BHSPitMonkeyI swear... of all the channels I /autojoin, this is the one that never sleeps.
08:34:39fatherforkthe should have a disclaimer (there is no way on earth that this device could possibly ever play every mp4 file, so stop dreaming)
08:34:44Paul_The_Nerdaliask: It often means AAC as well.
08:34:51BHSPitMonkeyI guess that's because it has a good European presence, though.
08:34:55aliaskAh yes, I forgot about audio...
08:35:09Paul_The_NerdIt seems to be somewhat arbitrary, and far too vague for my liking.

08:35:47BHSPitMonkeyPaul_The_Nerd, well, then you must hate Digital Audio Player, etc
08:35:48aliaskThere are so many terms which have become like that though
08:36:00BHSPitMonkeyname one device that can play everything that qualifies as Digital Audio.
08:36:01aliaskBHSPitMonkey: Nono, "MP3 player"
08:36:12BHSPitMonkeyI hear DAP used around rockbox all the time.
08:36:32aliaskI suppose names have to be a bit ambiguous.
08:36:33Bagderwell DAP is genericly playing digital audio
08:36:41Bagdermp4 is just weird to say
08:36:45fatherforkI hate how people come in to the store and ask me what the difference is between an iPod and an "mp3 player"

08:37:25fatherforkhey scorche
08:37:36Paul_The_NerdBHSPitMonkey: DAP means it's capable of playing digital audio. Digital Audio doesn't actually refer to a specific standard.
08:38:01BHSPitMonkeyand neither does mp4, right?
08:38:04scorcheand mp3 is not a container format
08:38:23Paul_The_NerdMP4 is a container format
08:38:28Bagderwell saying mp4 without further details is pretty vague
08:38:31Paul_The_NerdIt's actually clearly defined in the MPEG-4 standard

08:38:52fatherforkit's not THAT great

08:42:31Bagderand bigger hdd
08:42:32aliaskBetter battery, 60% brighter
08:42:34nudelynand i think more video support
08:42:54fatherforkjust an expansion on h264 support
08:42:57scorcheand the rest we shall find out in time =)
08:42:57Paul_The_Nerdnudelyn: It was okay.
08:43:04BHSPitMonkeyis it a firmware upgrade?
08:43:15fatherforkmostly
08:43:16BHSPitMonkey(not the hdd of course, and the brightness)
08:43:24BHSPitMonkeybut I mean, is it applicable to current 5g's
08:43:26modai say it again
08:43:27*moda kicks stingy parents
08:43:31aliaskI'm disappointed there was no wide/touch screen iPod. Rockbox would be an awesome experience.
08:43:32nudelynthere's a firmware update for the 5G players. nobody is sure if the new hardware is actually different or if it's just diff HDDs and firmware improvements
08:43:45fatherforkwell there is brightness control on the firmware update, just no brighter on the 5G
08:44:19nudelynI've installed the new firmware on my 5G iPod and gapless works for iTunes-encoded AAC (drag & drop of WMA Lossless file). Didn't seem to work for LAME-encoded MP3 but I haven't investigated yet.
08:44:23BHSPitMonkeynudelyn, would I be the first to try the update out if I did it right now
08:44:26BHSPitMonkeyah.
08:44:38Paul_The_Nerdnudelyn: I wouldn't be surprised that LAME-mp3 don't work gapless
08:44:52nudelynthe update seemed to nuke the rockbox bootloader BTW, so be prepared to reinstall that
08:44:59Paul_The_Nerdnudelyn: Apple's views on MP3 is that the iPod ONLY officially supports those encoded in iTunes. So until iTunes creates gapless MP3s, they probably won't bother.
08:45:01BHSPitMonkeywell duh
08:45:11fatherforkit's supposed to analyze the actual audio to determine the gap...less...ness
08:45:31nudelynit does but it doesn't seem to work very well :)
08:45:41BHSPitMonkeynudelyn, you could have dumped the firmware from the updater program, and used it with ipod_fw
08:45:59nudelynthe gap is much better than it was though... sounds like the mp3 frame gap, rather than the "ipod has gone to sleep for 2 seconds oh shii, the buffer's empty!" gap
08:46:21modayay new house, MOTHERFUCKER!
08:46:22modayay
08:46:28fatherforkthat's about the gap I get in rockbox on most stuff
08:46:33Paul_The_Nerdnudelyn: Try some made with the actual nogap flag, like you'd prepare them for the Archos then
08:46:41BHSPitMonkeyit makes me mad they didn't give an official new title to the new 5G's
08:46:47Paul_The_Nerdfatherfork: If you get a gap in Rockbox, something is wrong with your files.
08:46:48nudelynfirmware update seems to be part of itunes now, there's no link to a standalone installer... but it probably is there ina temp file somewhere
08:46:54nudelyngood idea paul, i'll try that at the weekend
08:47:04fatherforkhmm
08:47:13BHSPitMonkeynudelyn, did that also enable that games functionality (not that I really care for it)
08:47:15BHSPitMonkeyjust curious
08:47:18Paul_The_NerdBHSPitMonkey: It's really a firmware update though, for almost entirely the most part.
08:47:18nudelynyeah it does
08:47:29BHSPitMonkeythey're offering us, to buy, what we've had for months ^^
08:47:40scorchewell, with 20 more gigs
08:47:40modaat a cheaper price...
08:47:42BHSPitMonkeyspeaking of which, a thank-you to all the devs
08:47:43BHSPitMonkey:)
08:47:54fatherforkPaul_The_Nerd: there's really not much i can do about it then.
08:48:09Paul_The_Nerdfatherfork: I take it you didn't encode the files yourself?
08:48:21fatherforkehh... not most of them, no
08:48:47nudelynif apple added a proper equaliser (none of this preset crap) and a GUI theme that wasn't fugly (I want my greentheme back!) then I'd be totally happy with the official firmware, I think. USB MSC would be nice but I doubt they'll ever do that.
08:48:50BHSPitMonkeynudelyn, on the site, it looks like the new "WPS" has a gradient background... is that so?
08:48:55BHSPitMonkeybecause that'd be GREAT
08:49:09nudelynit looks like the same boring white background to me
08:49:12BHSPitMonkeydang
08:49:44nudelynit's fugly compared to rockbox
08:50:27fatherforkit's fugly compared to rockbox's wps
08:50:28BHSPitMonkeyright
08:50:34BHSPitMonkeyif they had added a gradient background, though
08:50:44BHSPitMonkeythat would make the background changeable ^^
08:51:02nudelyni might try the official firmware for a while though... i didn't use the EQ in rockbox due to skipping problems, so i won't miss that (even though I think apple should provide a better EQ). battery life will be better.
08:51:06BHSPitMonkeyyou can replace all the bitmaps the firmware is full of. unfortunately, the wps/menu backgrounds are just coded colors
08:51:32Paul_The_Nerdnudelyn: If you've got a 5G you should've tried the Hardware EQ
08:51:41Paul_The_NerdIt doesn't skip.
08:51:56nudelyni only just heard about that. i haven't been keeping up with what's new :(

09:04:32modaits a linux iso, so it doesnt matter anyway

09:04:43BHSPitMonkeyInteliWasp, uhh, a computer that has firewire also
09:05:03BHSPitMonkeyoh, need "to do"
09:05:09InteliWaspand yes i have firewire capability on my comp
09:05:29BHSPitMonkeyInteliWasp, Original Firmware, or diskmode.
09:06:22InteliWaspso not yet then... darn, i was kinda hopeing that i could get faster then usb 1.1 speads
09:06:47fatherforkwhat do you mean? is something preventing you from booting into disk mode?
09:07:07Paul_The_NerdRockbox doesn't have *any* USB or Firewire support
09:07:18Paul_The_NerdBut when you plug in a USB cable, it detects it an reboots into emergency disk mode
09:07:30InteliWaspwhen i plug it in, it does nothing in reaction
09:07:33Paul_The_NerdFor Firewire, you have to shut down and manually boot or reboot into a mode that supports it.
09:07:54BHSPitMonkeyInteliWasp, hold play+select during boot

09:31:30Bagderyes, that's the single one since may 15
09:32:00linuxstbAh, misread your message... I forgot you like making up statistics :)
09:32:07Bagderwebguest62: in case you read, I changed it to a patch now
09:32:12LinusNSlasheri: why would you want the ui to have priority?
09:32:18Bagderlinuxstb: :-)
09:33:20SlasheriLinusN: well, there was a discussion earlier that some users might prefer ui to have priority over playback.. and we can't have both, so now user can select that :D
09:33:35LinusNwhy would those users want that?
09:33:42Slasherii don't really know that..
09:33:47Bagderthat seems like a very odd settting
09:33:57LinusNi think it's a useless option
09:34:00Bagderthat the majority of people won't understand
09:34:02Slasherihmm, so you think it would better not to have that setting at all?
09:34:07LinusNabsolutely
09:34:08Bagderyes
09:34:12Slasheriok, so then i will remove that :)
09:34:46LinusNrockbox is still about playing audio
09:35:37Bagdernoooo
09:35:40Bagderrockbox is about doom!
09:35:44*Bagder runs
09:35:53aliaskAnd the gameboy emulator!
09:36:21SlasheriLinusN: do you think that priorities should be always used when they are enabled compile time?
09:36:27modahow optimized is rockboy on the ipod video btw?
09:36:32Slasheriat least i don't see any need to disable them
09:36:41LinusNyes i think so
09:36:43Paul_The_NerdClearly Rockbox is about pretty While Playing Screens. Why else would people continually request the ability to see the WPS even when playback was stopped?
09:36:55Slasheriok, sounds good. then there is no need for that setting at all
09:37:05LinusNexactly
09:37:39modaLAG WOO
09:37:57Bagdermoda: behave

10:00:12linuxstbFrom what I've read, it seems that itunes doesn't modify existing MP3s when adding the gapless info - meaning any extra info must be stored in the itunesdb...
10:01:50Paul_The_NerdI'm surprised Apple even bothers with MP3 at all.
10:02:12Paul_The_NerdMP3 has pretty much been treated as "unwanted, but necessary for the unwashed masses to buy our gadget" since the iPod began I think.

10:05:34linuxstbThat was a few weeks ago.
10:06:01peturah... I stopped looking for one months ago - just gave up ;)
10:06:21Paul_The_NerdIf they sold 40gb single platter iPods, I'd probably buy it for the disk, swap it with my H120, and use the 20gb iPod Video for videos, and the 40gb H120 for music.

10:23:15BabbelaarWell I have had Rockbox on my Iriver for about a week
10:23:21LinusNthats big
10:23:24BabbelaarWAIT
10:23:28LinusN:-)
10:23:29Babbelaarthe quesiton is about to come! :D
10:23:40BabbelaarNow my computer doesn't recognise my iriver at all
10:24:09Babbelaarwhen i connect to it AND when I am on my iriver firmware it says I have 0 Folders and 0 Files when clearly i have +1000
10:24:49BabbelaarWhen my Iriver (H340 that is) says that it is connected to the computer it doesn't appear on the computer at all :(
10:25:01Babbelaarand now my question is how to fix that :D
10:25:28LinusNthere is a risk that the hard drive is either bad, or badly connected inside the iriver
10:25:47BabbelaarDoes that mean it will stay like that forever? :(
10:25:53LinusNuntil you fix it
10:25:58BabbelaarHow do i fix it lol?
10:26:05LinusNis the computer a laptop?
10:26:09BabbelaarA mac
10:26:14BabbelaarImac
10:26:38BabbelaarIt comes up on my Windows but doesn't come up on my Mac and at school it didin't come up on theri computers either when usually it does
10:27:01LinusNwait a sec, does it work on your windows computer?
10:27:12BabbelaarIt does
10:27:23BabbelaarBut on the windows computers at school it doesn't work when it used to
10:28:06LinusNthen it's 1) not a rockbox problem and 2) not a problem with your iriver
10:28:34Babbelaarbut it only happened after i d/l Rockbox
10:28:50BabbelaarI have had Rockbox for about a week mind you
10:28:54LinusNyou should connect it to the windows computer and perform a scandisk
10:29:22Babbelaarok :)
10:29:41BabbelaarBut if its not a problem with my Iriver or Rockbox then what is the problem lol?
10:29:55LinusNthe file system may be corrupt
10:30:10Babbelaarok
10:30:27LinusNpossibly because you have disconnected from usb it in a bad way
10:30:42Babbelaar..
10:30:44LinusNwow, that was some nice grammar...
10:31:00BabbelaarI have been doing that ..
10:31:45BabbelaarIs their any reason though why on my Iriver Firmware it says I have no songs but on my rockbox firmware it does?

11:57:49 Part LinusN
11:58:23preglowwhat lex said
11:59:19amiconnLooks like the new nano has got a metal case like the minis
11:59:24preglowdeed
11:59:32amiconnAt least one change for the better
11:59:37preglowmore curious about the internals
12:00
12:03:52Paul_The_NerdIt's smaller and yet has more battery life.
12:04:02Paul_The_NerdOr at least "Thinner"
12:04:16Paul_The_NerdSo, that almost guarantees some components have been replaced considering how full it is, right?

12:05:54amiconnBetter battery life might point towards PP5022
12:06:41dan_aPerhaps they've done some reverse engineering and managed to getter a better battery life in the same way we do on Archos...
12:06:42amiconnPerhaps also less power-consuming flash and backlight
12:12:36Paul_The_NerdAlso maybe just a better battery as well
12:13:07*SeymourGlass laughs
12:14:10SeymourGlassI see often people here say that ipods & apple sux, but when they release anything new theres a lot of discussion , wishful thinking etc
12:14:33Bagdereh

12:16:22belzethe actual one sounds quite bad with the apple firmware
12:18:43SeymourGlasshm
12:18:46SeymourGlassI can confirm
12:19:18SeymourGlassthat I'm able to play 720x306 H264 @ 1.5mbps perfectly with firmware 1.2

12:19:39lex:O
12:20:01Paul_The_NerdWhat does that have to do with Rockbox though?
12:20:16belzenothing so far ;)
12:20:35SeymourGlasswho cares
12:20:41Bagderwe do
12:21:11SeymourGlassas long as rockbox has that ticking sound when using ipod, its only a very good project to keep an eye on
12:21:16Bagderhence #rockbox and not #ipod
12:21:45SeymourGlassof course it is not a problem for other players, so rockbox rules, I tried it, but couldn't really listen to that ticking
12:22:02Bagdernever heard about that before
12:22:20Paul_The_NerdNobody's actually reported a ticking on Rockbox on iPod, have they?
12:22:31Bagdernot that I've seen
12:22:32lexnope
12:23:12SeymourGlassBagder: I reported it about a week ago
12:23:21SeymourGlasstheres also a forum post about this
12:23:33Paul_The_NerdDid you actually file a bug report in the tracker?
12:23:36SeymourGlassthe people here said that its a known bug but they have no solution for it right now
12:23:38Paul_The_NerdAnd, could you point me to the forum post?

12:27:28BagderSeymourGlass: so shutup then
12:27:49SeymourGlassI just got the bug, asked here and they explained me that its known
12:27:51Bagderwhining but not helping
12:27:53SeymourGlassI believe it was linuxstb
12:28:15Paul_The_NerdIf Rockbox isn't good enough for you yet, feel free to use the retail firmware.
12:28:39Paul_The_NerdBut as has been said more than once, this isn't the place for discussing firmwares that are *not* Rockbox except in the context of trying to guess how they did something so that Rockbox can improve.

14:36:53amiconnSo no, the clipping has to stay
14:37:07preglowit usually just happens as a direct consequence of the original data being reconstructed from just some of its coefficients

14:37:24preglowthat's why mp3 files clip so badly all the time

16:14:03bluebrotherwasn't that done by changing the category?

17:06:43tucozwhat should I look for?
17:07:06netmasta10btwell your interface is prolly eth0 −− it should have an inetaddr

17:08:06netmasta10btis there no eth0?
17:08:14tucozno. There isn't
17:08:47netmasta10btjust eth1, thats odd −− is it a laptop or desktop machine
17:09:17tucozlaptop. I think eth0 is my wireless card
17:09:32tucoznot sure. i really suck at this stuff
17:10:07netmasta10btahh −− ok most likely is xubuntu didn't configure your wifi card cuz it doesnt have a driver −− i've never used xubuntu though
17:10:16bluebrothertucoz, vmware has its own, "virtual" network devices.
17:10:38bluebrotherthe loopback device usually should be named lo
17:10:55tucozI have my wifi card turned off. I am connected to the router by a cable
17:10:55netmasta10btyeah sorry, it should have received an ip from the vmware dhcp server
17:11:26***Saving seen data "./dancer.seen"
17:11:39bluebrotheralso, it depends on the configuration of vmware how you get connection to the network. I assume the rockbox image uses NAT, so your IP will be in a private network
17:11:55bluebrotherbut that doesn't necessarily need to be 192.168.1.0/24
17:12:28tucozshould I select bridged, NAT, or host only=
17:12:28tucoz?

17:55:22preglowDS isn't exactly hyper-powered
17:56:06preglowbut i guess the 67mhz arm9 core should do
17:56:44timofonicIt has two cores
17:56:47timofonicSo...
17:56:51preglowthe other one is a 33mhz arm7 core
17:56:52preglownot very fast
17:57:02timofonicBut you can use both at same time, no?
17:57:05preglowtell ya what. buy me one of those new ds and a flashcart, and i'll look into it :>
17:57:19timofonicpreglow: What about a public bounty? :)
17:57:41timofonicpreglow: I have no money ATM, and I will save for Wii and DS with flashcart heh
17:57:50preglowsure you can use both cores, but it's not as simple as that
17:57:59preglowthe arm7 core can only be used for relatively cheap stuff
17:58:00timofonicI suposse
17:58:01preglowlike the ui, perhaps
17:58:05timofonicyep
17:58:12preglowthen again
17:58:18preglowi bet we can do a hw accelerated gui on ds
17:58:24timofonicuhm
17:58:31timofonicEven it can do 3D, hehe
17:58:58timofonic(it seems it have 3D hw functions)

18:00:00timofonicWhat about a public bounty for a Nintendo DS + a flash cart?
18:00:44timofonicIf I get a work soon, then I can buy it. Sadly, it's very unprobably :P
18:00:51preglowi don't know what interest there would be for it
18:00:54preglowhow can you put music on it?
18:01:02timofonicflash cart, they use SD

19:39:15mirak_amiconn: was it you who optimised yuv2rgb fonction on ipod ?
19:39:36amiconnnope
19:41:01amiconnAnd afaics it isn't optimised. It's the plain C version derived from the yuv->rgb conversion in jpeg.c (which isn't made for speed but for accuracy)

19:50:58Learamiconn: blocked == waiting in queue?
19:51:15Slasheriamiconn: Hmm, there was a reason for the current_tick to be volatile but maybe that was only with my first patches.. I will check that again and declare it as non-volatile if volatile isn't necessary
19:53:42amiconnI wonder about the functional difference between sleeping and blocked
19:53:52Slasheriamiconn: sleeping - task is waiting until current_tick is high enough and scheduler will wake up the task. Blocked - task is blocked by a semaphore or queue. One semaphore / queue can contain many blocked tasks (but only single bloked task with timeout). Blocked with timeout - task is basically same as sleeping task but it's pointer address is stored also in queue so it can be woken up either by scheduler or queue_post event
19:54:15Slasheriblocked task remains blocked until an external event wakes it up
19:54:27Slasherischeduler doesn't even know that blocked threads exist at all
19:54:50Slasheribecause those tasks are not stored in scheduler lists at all
19:54:56amiconnI also wonder whether the constant moving of threads between the assortment of double linked lists really makes things more efficient. I suspect the opposite
19:55:33Slasheriamiconn: i have made a test with a vorbis q8 file
19:55:50Slasheriboost counter before the patch was about 81% and after the patch 78-79%
19:56:28Slasheriso it seems like the improvement is about 2% when task switching doesn't happen very often
19:56:43Slasheriit might be more when task switching happens more often -> more reduced battery usage
19:56:49amiconnYeah, but is that due to priorities, or due to the list handling changes
19:56:50Slasheribut that needs to be tested somehow..
19:56:56amiconn?
19:57:02Slasherii think that is due to the list handling
19:57:09amiconnI would expect one single thread list to be more efficient
19:57:30Slasheribecause unnecessary task switches have been eliminated
19:57:42amiconn...just walked along in a round-robin fashion, maybe storing the state (running, sleeping) in the list

20:12:53Slasheriamiconn: then there would be a problem how to store many blocked tasks in one mutex if lists are not used at all
20:13:19Slasheriif we want to treat blocked tasks also a special way and not task switch every time
20:13:19amiconnThe thread list is neither very long, nor does it manage variable-length data
20:13:24mirak_oh ok it's in target folder
20:13:58amiconn(unlike tagcache very linked lists are necessary to keep things efficient)
20:14:06amiconns/very/where/
20:14:49amiconnSlasheri: Do it the other way 'round... store the mutex id in the thread list
20:15:09Slasherihmm, true. that might work
20:15:15 Quit bluebrother ("Leaving")
20:16:21Slasheribut it's hard to say switch one method would be more efficient
20:16:46amiconnI would like to see how now using linked lists but keeping sleeping/blocked markers influences code size, ram and iram usage, and efficiency
20:16:47Slasherifor example unlocking a mutex, in worst case we would have to loop the entire thread list to find the correct id
20:16:53amiconns/now/not/
20:17:03amiconnNo
20:17:21amiconnA thread blocked by a mutex would have that mutex id in its thread entry

20:18:05amiconnThe scheduler would check whether that mutex is still locked, and if so, skip that thread for scheduling
20:18:17Slasherihmm.. interesting
20:18:37amiconnBut if it's no longer locked, it would let that thread run, which the locks the mutex itself
20:19:11amiconnThe thread holding the lock would of course not have this entry set, only those threads which are waiting for the mutex to become free
20:19:35amiconn(i.e. are blocked by it)
20:22:12Slasheriok, i will think about redesigning the patch later. removing the lists could make the code slightly cleaner

20:26:06Mmmmjust fixed it!
20:26:13 Part billodo
20:26:16Davide-NYC(love)
20:26:23Mmmmlol
20:27:00amiconnDavide-NYC: Which bug?
20:27:21mirak_I am looking in lcd-as-h300.S there is this line inside a loop : /* %d2 = -24 * (Cb - 128) - 51 * (Cr - 128) */ I have seen muls is <= 4 cycle . MAC is 2 cycles. inside a loop this can save thousands of cycles.
20:27:51mirak_MAC is 1 cycle. but + moveclr this is 2 cycles
20:27:56Slasheriamiconn: checking the debug menu, normally there are 14 threads of which 7 are blocked 4 are blocked with timeout and the rest 3 threads are sleeping
20:28:05Davide-NYCamiconn: it's not on flyspray anymore,maybe it's been fixed and closed.
20:28:18Davide-NYCit was a crash during reconding on coldfire target
20:28:22Davide-NYC*recording
20:28:33Slasheriamiconn: that was why i though using linked lists would be a good thing, so those 7 threads are completely removed from scheduling
20:29:12Slasheribut it's true that with sleeping lists there is currently no improvement because of this behaviour as we check the list at every task switch
20:29:40Slasheriother improvement could be to check that list only when current_tick has been changed
20:29:42amiconnYes, and if threads go to sleep quite often, there is a lot of moving between lists
20:29:59amiconn...and that's certainly more overhead than just setting a flag
20:30:01Slasheriyes.. but they shouldn't go in sleep very often, should they? :)
20:30:05Slasheritrue
20:30:24amiconnThreads should go to sleep whenever possible, to save battery
20:30:42amiconnIf all threads are sleeping, the cpu core can go to sleep state
20:30:55Slasheriand if they don't sleep very often, _and_ we would check the sleeping list only when current_tick is changed.. then we wouldn't need to go through the sleeping threads every tie
20:31:15Slasheriof course, but they can sleep more than one tick at once (which is preferred)
20:31:53Slasheriexcept some threads, for example audio thread can't sleep more
20:34:48Slasheriamiconn: i think the current patch could give the best performance when tasks are yielding very often while the other approach would give better performance when tasks are not yielding so often
20:35:33 Join pixelma [0] (i=pixelma@82.193.235.34)
20:35:46amiconnI'm not so sure - your patch has many places which are doing lseep_thread(1)
20:36:35amiconnAnd as you said yourself, the code needs to walk the sleepers list anyway (and also check whether a block-with-timeout thead reaches the timeout)
20:37:13Slasheriyep, but i also noticed that is unnecessary until current_tick has changed from the previous value
20:37:17Slasheriso we can count that out
20:37:41amiconncurrent_tick still changes 100 times per second
20:38:13Slasheriyes.. and if threads are yielding more often than that, then it could give a performance improvement
20:38:20Slasheriand i am not sure if they are
20:39:19amiconnOn hwcodec they are most of the time
20:39:41Slasherihmm, then it can't be so bad thing..

20:42:05amiconnI once measured scheduling round-trip on archos recorder. Got ~600 rounds per second, meaning ~4800 task switches per second
20:42:15amiconn(we had 8 threads running back then iirc)
20:43:08amiconnThat was during playback, and measured with a test plugin
20:43:20Slasherihmm.. do you still have that plugin?
20:43:31amiconnOf course, the mpeg thread has very little to do during playback
20:43:40 Quit karim (Remote closed the connection)
20:43:54amiconnThe MAS is fed via DMA and callbacks from an ISR
20:44:28Slasheritrue.. then linked lists could actually work well on hwcodec targets
20:44:47amiconnIt's the rough equivalent of the swcodec playback thread
20:45:07amiconnThe codec thread has no equivalent
20:45:47Slasherithat would mean there are 48 task switches for one run of the sleeping list check function
20:47:14Slasheriso something like going through 48*6 per one tick or 48*2 + 1*sleep_core()
20:47:34mirak_linuxstb_: how much did he gained with asm yuv blit function ?
20:49:16linuxstb_mirak_: Are you talking about the X5 LCD driver?

20:49:59mirak_linuxstb_: I have an H300

21:22:25amiconnIf the emac multiplier is single cycle and the move is single cycle - why does a plain muls/mulu then take 4 cycles?
21:23:44amiconnI'm quite sure the emac-equipped coldfires perform the muls/mulu within the emac multiplier as well, as having 2 multipliers would be a waste
21:24:08*_jhMikeS_ has wondered why himself. Why no single cycle multiplies in general.
21:24:22_jhMikeS_Isn't the emac part optional?
21:24:59amiconn...and then it's very likely that the 4 cycles of mulu/muls is the added time of performing the multiplication in the emac unit and moving the result back to the standard register bank
21:26:21amiconnI think the emac multiplier is single-cycle, but multi-stage

22:08:39linuxstb_mason: You can download them from the Rockbox wiki - http://www.rockbox.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/IpodInstallationFromMacOSX
22:08:48mirak__jhMikeS_: actually I don't know where it's used, I will look, but I think anything in mpeg2dec struct would be usefull in iram. it's in that struct that DCTblock is. having this one in iram gave 4-5 fps boost direcly.
22:09:12masonlinuxstb_, sweet, thanks for the url
22:09:16mirak_so i imagine it would speed up other parts.
22:10:26linuxstb_Xoliul: I believe a Rockbox install on the H10 is safe - you simply replace a file on the hard disk.
22:10:49mirak_I tried to put the 16k array in iram but it says iram full. If there is 45k iram for plugins, I am not sure what is used to fill as much. there are some lookup tables already. maybe they aren't the best candidates

22:28:57BigMacit can't be that good
22:29:10mirak_linuxstb_: can you tell me how you did it ?
22:31:08linuxstb_mirak_: Just add "static mpeg2dec_t static_mpeg2dec IBSS_ATTR;" before mpeg2_init() in decode.c, and replace the call to mpeg2_malloc with "mpeg2dec = &static_mpeg2dec;" in mpeg2_init()
22:31:30mirak_ok
22:32:01linuxstb_It's about 17984 bytes.

22:34:29_jhMikeS_it runs throught that prescale alot depending upon the frame type

22:41:20mirak_linuxstb_: no I can download a snapshot though. but overall I think I gained 10 fps with my asm plus the iram
22:41:28Chuky1and will it void my warrent
22:41:30linuxstb_Not officially - there are unofficial versions of Rockbox which do.
22:41:33mirak_depending on the video
22:42:10_jhMikeS_what's sort of video is the worst case load on an MPEG decoder anyway
22:42:19linuxstb_Chuky1: Yes, installing Rockbox normally voids your warranty.
22:42:25mirak_the asm idct doesn't speed things very much but that's still to be taken

23:04:08linuxstbquiksilver: 1) If your filenames have spaces in them, surround them by quotes - "E:\Simpsons 16x20 - Home Away From Homer.avi" ; 2) I don't think you need the <> brackets - those were just to show you where to change things.

23:05:20quiksilveryes it is
23:05:58linuxstbThen you'll get nicely distorted video. For normal (4:3) video, 128x96 would look correct.

23:20:50dionoeaquiksilver: you're in the VLC install directory ?
23:21:03linuxstbmpegplayer is for devices without dedicated video chips.

23:24:00SeymourGlassyeah, there are alot
23:24:04quiksilverallright
23:24:08quiksilverim in the messages
23:24:09linuxstbSo why is everyone struggling with the VLC command-line?
23:24:14dionoeaquiksilver: you close the main vlc controler
23:24:16SeymourGlassIve done some heavy dvd authoring
23:24:22mirak_linuxstb: my 220*176 is at 13-14 fps
23:24:29dionoealinuxstb: because you can't output the raw mpeg2 video thing with the interface
23:24:40linuxstbThen don't - just demux it afterwards.
23:24:54dionoeaand the GUI basically sucks when you're doing streaming
23:24:54quiksilverdionoea: it closed teh messages window as well
23:25:12dionoeaquiksilver: now if you re-launch VLC it should open the messages window automatically.
23:25:22dionoeaso you can launch the command line and get all the debug in the window
23:25:58quiksilverdionoea: ok so now i retype the command and see where it goes by looking at the messages?
23:26:03dionoearight
23:26:07dionoeaand look for red lines
23:26:14quiksilverok
23:26:15quiksilverwill do
23:26:51dionoealinuxstb: i don't know if the ffmpeg command line tool works on windows ... but you'd end up with the same issues as VLC in the end i guess
23:27:53dionoeaand if you want to do stuff like burn subs in the movie, read almost any kind of codecs as input, etc. i guess that it doesn't leave that many choices
23:28:06linuxstbSeymourGlass: Going back to the ipod 5g's video capabilities - what's the point in being able to decode 720x400? The LCD is only 320x240, and if I want to watch videos on my TV, I just use an xbox which can play any video format I throw at it.
23:28:16linuxstbdionoea: I'm thinking more about closed-source encoders.
23:28:27SeymourGlasslinuxstb: xbox is heavier, larger
23:28:28SeymourGlassetc
23:28:34dionoeawell closed source stuff will have limitations on inputs

23:28:46toadis there any way to use the ipod video font (myriad pro) in rockbox?

23:29:39toadstripwax: is the process for converting otf to bdf complicated?
23:29:50dionoeamaybe you could try using handbrake
23:30:03stripwaxtoad: I have absolutely no idea.

23:30:15dionoeaquiksilver: any luck ?
23:30:40SeymourGlasslinuxstb: actually i prefer encode larger resolutioni than 320x240 anyway
23:30:41stripwaxtoad - maybe try googling for a font convertor?
23:30:43quiksilverdionoea: yes im working on it give me a second im a bit slow :D
23:30:48dionoeahehe, ok :)
23:30:54SeymourGlassit looks better if u disable the widesceen feature in options
23:30:54mirak_linuxstb: there is a screenbuffer in iram ?
23:31:01stripwaxhey, there's a program called "otf2bdf" .. :-)
23:31:09linuxstbSeymourGlass: Now if the ipod had an hdmi output and could play my hi-def 1440x1080i MPEG-4 AVC streams, I would be interested...

23:31:25linuxstbmirak_: No, it's too big on the colour targets for IRAM.
23:31:34mirak_ah
23:31:39SeymourGlasslinuxstb: i guess its not far ahead
23:31:51stripwaxlinuxstb - ah, is that why we need to read pixels back to do transparency?
23:32:04toadI'll give it a try, thanks
23:32:21SeymourGlassI wonder what exactly are the capabilities of current ipod hardware
23:32:32SeymourGlassmaybe it can do 720p
23:32:33stripwaxlinuxstb - (by we I guess I mean hotdog)
23:33:34linuxstbstripwax: I'm not sure what you mean.
23:33:51dionoeathe next (non bugfix) VLC release will have something called streaming profiles which should make it really easy to do the transcoding process using the GUI with no/limited knowledge of what actually goes on. But that's not ready yet
23:34:21linuxstbstripwax: We have a framebuffer in RAM - just not in the fast IRAM.
23:34:39linuxstbWhat about front-ends to ffmpeg?
23:35:31stripwaxlinuxstb - ah ok. i'm probably just an idiot misremembering some code in the rockbox driver that I thought I also saw in hotdog. lemme see if i can find what I'm thinking of
23:35:37dionoeathose should work too (you loose the ability to burn subs in the movie ... that'd be alright i guess)
