#rockbox log for 2006-09-15

00:00:27LandusI've even deleted .rockbox and rockbox.iriver, and reinstalled Rockbox.
00:00:33LandusNo change, apparently.
00:00:57LinusNbluebrother: that trademark seems to be registered in germany only. you need to register separately for a EU trademark.
00:01:17 Quit mirak_ (Client Quit)
00:01:48bluebrotherLinusN, ok.
00:02:04linuxstbWhy don't we register Rockbox?
00:02:16LinusNin which country?
00:02:24linuxstbIn the EU.
00:02:40linuxstbIf I'm understanding what you just said...
00:02:53bluebrotherdifferent thing, I just noticed your comment on FS #5990. I've made some mockups after discussion earlier today. If you're interested, http://www.stud.uni-karlsruhe.de/~uhcn/rockbox/
00:03:10 Quit mirak6 ("CGI:IRC (EOF)")
00:03:16LandusWhat's FS mean?
00:03:26LandusOh wait.
00:03:28LandusNevermind.
00:03:29LandusDuh.
00:06:48bluebrotherFlyspray ;-)
00:06:51LinusNhehe, there is a EU registration of the Rockbox trademark: Deutsche Rockwool Mineralwoll-GmbH
00:07:15bluebrotherRockwool?
00:07:24*bluebrother knows that name.
00:07:25LandusMan, I really hate how bad my coding skills are.
00:07:31LandusOtherwise, I'd be fixing this myself.
00:07:40GaloisI've seen products named rockbox in Future Shop
00:07:45Landushjkharadfhjjhadfhdas
00:13:26LinusNbluebrother: as far as i can tell, with my severly limited knowledge of german trademark law, rockbox-lounge should be clear if they stop offering rockbox builds
00:13:58 Part billodo
00:15:28bluebrotherLinusN, from what I know from the press there is still a chance they get trouble because of their site being "confusing" to customers.
00:15:44LinusNyeah right
00:15:55LinusNeat my shorts
00:15:57*preglow hates assholes

00:22:35preglowcan anyone tell me what's so grand about the ipod 5g hw eq?
00:22:46preglowsome people seem to think it's the second coming of christ
00:22:47LinusNless cpu?
00:23:19preglowthe sound is supposedely beyond grand
00:23:27LinusNoh?
00:24:01preglowhttp://www6.head-fi.org/forums/showthread.php?t=194390
00:24:01LinusNwell, it's probably because the software eq that this norwegian loser wrote is so lousy
00:24:12amiconnpreglow: The main difference is that you can use the hw eq without skipping, unlike its software twin

00:26:24preglowand i don't think i've done any major mistakes in coding the sw eq
00:27:35LinusNwell, could it be that the hw eq has different parameters, so it's only a matter of selecting a matching set of F/Q for the sw one?
00:27:57preglowshrugs
00:28:20preglowpeople only seem to be able to spout audiophile nonsense when they're talkinga bout it, so it's really hard to tell where the actual difference lies
00:28:28peturone guy says just enabling it makes it sound better - not even configure any band...

00:33:21amiconnpreglow: Speaking about passing signals through some filter - do you think recording the loudness characteristics of the MAS would be helpful?
00:33:23preglowbelze: ?
00:33:27belzebut only at sepcific volume-levels
00:33:31amiconnWould be a quite large set of recordings...
00:33:33belzei could record it, if you like

00:34:25preglowamiconn: well, it would be cool to see what kind of a filter they're using
00:34:27amiconnpreglow: loudness is by its very nature volume dependent, then loudness is adjustable itself (0 to 12 db), and the center frequency can be switched
00:34:36preglowamiconn: oh, right...
00:34:44preglowamiconn: then it's less helpful
00:34:49preglowand too much work
00:35:05amiconn1kHz is standard, and you can switch to 2kHz (Micronas calls that "superbass")

00:35:53*amiconn checks the datasheet
00:35:59preglowbelze: and you're absolutely sure it's the eq causing it? what volume levels?
00:36:19belzeyes, when i disabled it, it was all gone
00:36:27belzei am looking at it now
00:36:33amiconnOh, loudness is even adjustable from 0 to +17dB
00:36:36preglowthe only thing i can imagine happening that would make the eq produce noise at all with no input, is limit cycles
00:36:41preglowand i use far too much precision for those to be audible
00:36:52preglowplus, the filter structure i use isn't very susceptible to limit cycles
00:36:54amiconn...in 0.25dB steps
00:36:57belzeat first i noticed it on some classical music-files

00:37:39preglowhmm
00:37:43amiconnHmmmm.................
00:37:49preglowperhaps i should do some rounding on the shelving filter coefficients
00:37:57preglowthey're only 25 bits...
00:38:04preglowaka. more than bloody enough
00:38:26amiconnAs it is, we're not doing true loudness on archos....
00:38:27linuxstb_petur: That comment about just enabling the hw eq improving the sound is amusing - the hw eq has always been "enabled" in Rockbox, you can't turn it off...
00:38:33amiconn(iiuc)
00:38:48LinusNoh my god!
00:38:50linuxstb_All that's changed is the ability to change the gains from 0db...
00:39:12Bagderhahaha
00:39:15LinusNi enabled the hardware EQ on my 5g and it sounds HORRIBLE with the default settings
00:39:24peturrofl
00:39:33Bagdernothing beats a good placebo
00:39:49preglowespecially if it's laced with enough audiophile gibberish
00:40:41amiconnThe loudness setting of the MAS doesn't adapt itself to changing volume
00:41:39LinusNsomething is fishy with the default hw eq settings
00:41:45belzepreglow: ok, do you want it as a wave-file?

00:44:05amiconnpreglow: The frequency responses of the MAS treble & bass filters are given in the datasheet
00:44:13amiconn(but not the loudness curve)
00:44:36preglowamiconn: didn't we agree we'd let the sw eq do the job of the treble/bass setting anyway?
00:44:36belzethat clicking comes from changing the volume, so there must be some very deep noise
00:44:47LinusNwith the hw eq gains at 0dB, there is absolutely no difference if you enable it or not
00:44:56preglowbelze: sounds like i've got a dc offset going
00:44:56LinusNhardly surprising

00:46:49belzebut what i found out is it doesnt appear when you play a silent file right after booting rockbox
00:46:51amiconnpreglow: http://www.rockbox.org/twiki/pub/Main/DataSheets/mas3587f_2pd.pdf page 9
00:46:59belzeit only happens when you play a music-track before
00:47:47preglowbelze: and you're still sure it's caused by the eq? sounds more like a value being left in the dac to me
00:47:53linuxstb_LinusN: Are you going to fix the default gain settings, or shall I?
00:48:08belzepreglow: if i disable the sw eq, its gone
00:48:52preglowamiconn: looks like second order shelving filters
00:48:53LinusNlinuxstb_: i'll do it
00:49:21preglowbelze: could you tell me exactly how you do it? i'll try to reproduce on h120
00:50:32belzeok, i just played back some random song and after that played back a file consisting of only silence
00:50:54belzeboth were ogg-files if that is important
00:51:19 Quit KlrSpz ()
00:51:29preglowhaha
00:51:39preglowyou know you're cool when you actually have an ogg file of only silence lying around
00:52:15belzei know its a lossy compression
00:53:07preglowbelze: no dice, no sound at all
00:53:32belzebut when i play back that ogg file consisting of silnece right after booting the device this effect doesnt occure
00:53:53preglowogg is good with silence, 1kbit/s
00:54:39belzei created the file with audition if thats what you mean
00:54:44belzeits no recording or sth like that
00:54:53preglowthis reminds me, the eq filter coefficients should be zeroed on forced track change
00:55:10scottderHmmm ilounge is saying the new nano is using the new chipsets....I assume this is bad news for Rockbox?
00:55:23preglowscottder: indeed
00:55:37preglowbelze: i've got an ogg track of pure silence anyway
00:55:44belzeok
00:55:55preglowbelze: but i can't hear a sound when playing it
00:56:00preglowno matter what i play before it
00:56:06preglowwhat are your eq settings
00:56:07preglow?
00:56:22belze+2db on the lowest and +4db on the highest band
00:56:27scottderthat sucks :(
00:56:32LinusNso, this "amazing sound" when enabling the hardware eq comes from the fact that all bands default to +12dB. how's that for an audiophile sound experience? :-)

01:00
01:00:03preglowweird, weird
01:00:13preglowdc level is constant
01:00:23preglowbut at some volume levels, i get some other sound as well
01:01:15preglowargh!
01:02:06preglowbelze: well, thanks for reporting, i know what's wrong now
01:02:14preglowand i don't bloody like it at all
01:02:50LinusNthat sounds bad
01:02:55preglowprecision problems
01:03:01LinusNouch
01:03:03preglowi'm almost certain it is
01:03:15preglowand this is using 32 bit wide coefs
01:03:23LinusNouch ouch ouch
01:03:45preglowi bumped into it doing the eq grapher and wondered why it wasn't biting me in the filtering
01:03:48preglowturns out it is
01:03:54preglowfilter coefficients are very sensitive at lower cutoff frequencies
01:04:36LinusN8.24?
01:04:39preglowyes
01:04:52preglowi need a ton of mantissa for the shelf filters
01:05:08LinusNwould 4.28 help?
01:05:10preglowi'll see if seperating the gain out of the coef will help
01:05:20preglow4.28 isn't enough to represent 24 db gain
01:05:23preglowit'd overflow

01:13:22LinusNwell, 1200 bytes isn't much to argue about, is it?
01:13:24amiconnLinusN: Play some music, the start playing jewels, or run oscilloscope, or plasma, and you'll see what I mean
01:13:46LinusNamiconn: stuttering gfx?
01:14:27amiconnYes, and with plasma, I have the impression that it doesn't even boost before switching priorities
01:14:51amiconn(but the impression can be wrong and its difficult to check)
01:14:55LinusNaha, but it's not the kernel responsibility to boost, is it?
01:15:13preglowshouldn't be
01:15:18amiconnNo, but it's also not the kernel responsibility to switch priorities
01:15:29LinusNah, of course
01:16:00belzepreglow: i havent tried a silent wave-file, if you mean that
01:16:02synicanyone have an iPod video? How can I prevent the current track from stopping when I'm scrolling?
01:16:03amiconnI think +1200 bytes, while not being that important on swcodec in general, are quite a lot for the kernel

01:28:10amiconnLinusN: Most of the added binary size is contributed by thread.c. It's .text part is almost exactly doubled, both on archos and coldfire
01:28:40preglowman, oh man, some people do know what fixed point is all about

01:37:32amiconnTalking about coldfire - do you think the various "32x32->64bit + some shift" implementations we are using suffer from an emac stall?
01:37:52amiconnIt's a suspicious sequence - mac.l followed by mulu ...
01:37:58preglowyeah, exactly
01:37:59preglowi think they are
01:38:07preglowthe mul instruction uses the mac unit
01:38:14preglowso it should stall
01:38:34amiconnThat's the big question - it all depends on how itÄs implemented internally
01:38:34preglowthe freescale docs doesn't mention it, but it sounds logical
01:38:54amiconnMultiple mac instructions in sequence don't stall
01:39:31preglowsure no, it's pipelined to work like that
01:39:39preglowthey don't stall until you involve a moveclr or move.l %acc
01:39:59preglowbut i don't think mac/mul play that nicely together
01:40:14amiconnYes, and the muls/mulu include the move from the multiplier's output stage - that's why they take 4 cycles
01:40:23preglowexactly
01:40:33amiconnIf it's all pipelined mac.l/mulu.l shouldn't stall
01:40:44preglowi've got a feeling it stalls anyway
01:40:47preglowbut it should be possible to measure
01:40:55preglowwould be very interesting
01:41:25amiconnI did a (coarse) experiment where I could find no speed difference when moving the shift amount preloading between mac and mulu
01:41:39preglowhow coarse? the difference won't be huge
01:42:14amiconnI just ran mandelbrot and measured the time for zooming in 12 times in sequence
01:42:48amiconnHmm, not very scientific...
01:43:37preglowstill
01:46:00amiconnThe first zoom stages use low precision, which doesn't use emac...
01:46:28preglowsafetydan: i wonder what the 'remez' thing they mention is. the expressions look like standard mclaurin/taylor series expressions, and the only remez i know about is a fir filter design method

03:34:58webguest32This place is packed.
03:35:06belzeit is
03:35:07Kevinphm and .. i couldn't really find a _clear_ outline as to why rockbox is better than ipods actual firmware
03:35:22webguest08hi
03:35:34belzeKevinp: you have to decide that for yourself. a big advantage is the number of codecs it includes
03:35:42belzeso you can play ogg, flac, ...
03:35:58Kevinpperformance wise is it any better? in terms of things like ... battery life, sound quality etc?
03:35:59 Quit webguest08 (Client Quit)
03:36:13SoapKevinp - ogg / flac / other support. Crossfeed. GAPLESS. pluggins. customisable.
03:36:25belzei think battery life is not better, maybe even worse atm
03:36:29Soapworse
03:36:35Kevinphm
03:36:39Kevinpcrossfeed? gapless? ugh
03:36:41Kevinplemme google lol
03:36:48Soap60-70% of apple firmware. I'll have solid numbers this weekend.
03:37:18webguest32Sorry, but could someone answer one or two question I have please? I just deleted an old rockbox off my H140 (the old one was an experimental build and had a few errors)... anyway, I put the latest daily build on (sep 14) and it's working fine. Just two things really, how can I set it so when I hold left, it goes to the main menu, instead of having to press left a few times to get there. and another thing, ho
03:38:44 Quit Brock (Read error: 104 (Connection reset by peer))
03:38:57Soapgapless - Even on albums where track1 is supposed to blend seamlessly into track 2, the Apple firmware introduces a really frickin' annoying gap. Crossfeed is an audio effect where part of the right channel is added to the left, and vise versa. This is good as sunshine to use with headphones, as most (all?) modern albums are mastered for play through speakers where obviously your left ear can hear the right speaker's output.

03:39:36belzesounds a little blurry to me
03:39:41Soapwebguest32 - I don't believe you can set that at this time. Button assignments are not fully customizable.
03:39:52Soapbelze - not blurry at all.

03:40:41belzenot blurry in means of quality, but i find it harder to locate the instruments
03:40:54Soapheadphones create a very unnatural sound. at a concert both ears hear the same thing, just at different times, and sometimes in different phases. With headphones your right ear can't hear the left channel at all. That is not only unnatural, it is not the situation taken into account when a CD is mastered.
03:41:19webguest32soap - are there patches available with these features because they were definitely on the one I had before I deleted it and I remember ages ago, before the one I justhad on, that I downloaded a patch for keeping the line selector in the middle while scrolling?
03:41:42Soapbelze - again, proper crossfeed can dramaticly improve soundstage and seperation as you are hearing the music the way the producer intended, not through the artificial sound of headphones.
03:42:19belzewell, then i have to play with the settings a little more
03:42:27Soapwebguest32 - I can't speak for certain, as button assignments aren't something that interest me. ;)
03:43:19Soapbelze - crossfeed is, and always will be an aproximation of how properly set up speakers will sound, but it is at least an aproximation.
03:43:55SoapOr you could seek out biaurial recordings, then headphones will be the right way.
03:44:18belzeyup
03:44:23Soap*biaural
03:45:33belzebut you are right on some recordings (keane) it sounds more natural

03:51:03webguest32Does anyone know if roxkbox will be ported onto the new 80GB iPod? May finally be tempted to move on from my beloved H140 :( the 80GB hd is just too tempting. Is video available on the current ports to the 60GB iPod?
03:52:03belzevideo is only available without sound
03:52:38Paul_The_NerdWhy not get an 80gb drive for your H140 if you love it so?
03:54:23webguest32sure they are probably pretty much as expensive as the iPod itself?
03:54:57Paul_The_NerdWell, that somewhat remains to be seen.
03:55:16Paul_The_NerdIf the iPod's cheaper, you could always get the iPod, swap the drives, and use the iPod with the 40gig drive or something
03:55:56newbyx86So is there gonna be a RockBox for the Zune?
03:55:56newbyx86:D
03:56:04newbyx86I am gonna get them when they come out since my dad works for M$, so I can start working on one maybe. :P
03:56:11SoapIs there any reason to believe the 80GB ipod is any different than the 60GB (in ways which matter to RB)
03:56:17webguest32I don't really use the recording/optical/remote on the H140 anyway and if RockBox will be on the iPod, well a lot of gripes I've previously had with iPod (i tunes/taged broswing) would be gone. File Tree, for me, is the best way to browse.
03:56:28Paul_The_NerdSoap: There's no reason to believe it's any different other than possible a new LCD.

03:56:47Paul_The_Nerdwebguest32: Well, the iPod battery life is still pretty bad.
03:56:50Soapwhereas the rumors (more than rumors) are that the Nano is samsung?
03:57:17webguest32Battery life on new 80GB is supposed to be 20 hours for music!
03:57:19webguest32not too bad
03:57:20belzefrom the facts i've heared i would get a zune right away
03:57:20Soap(should be a question mark after my second "rumors"
03:57:29Paul_The_NerdSoap: Well, Apple announced they'd be moving to Samsun. And the new Nano is both smaller, and sporting significantly improved battery life, so one has to assume *something* has changed internally
03:57:30belzethe wifi-module is so nice
03:57:40Soapwebguest32 - that is the same battery life as the 60 gig was quoted with.

04:02:31belzethe wiki says the h10 hs a Wolfson WM8731
04:02:44belzeand the one in the 5g ipod is also a wolfson afaik

04:03:17belzeso no hw eq on that platform?
04:03:22Paul_The_NerdNope.

05:13:27Paul_The_NerdUpgrading to the newest Rockbox doesn't include changing the bootloader
05:13:41Paul_The_NerdThere's no reason that functionality should change as long as you didn't touch the bootloader.
05:13:54RaiderXthats wut i thought
05:13:54Paul_The_NerdI do assume you followed the instructions and *just* extracted a new rockbox.zip, and didn't redo the ipodpatcher stuff?

05:18:57Paul_The_NerdYeah.
05:19:01Paul_The_NerdIt *is* iLounge.
05:19:13Paul_The_NerdIt's like iPod Porn for those people. Not really concerned about technical merit. :-P
05:19:28scorcheyeah...the pictures look nice and all...nice pose
05:19:35Paul_The_NerdAnyway, I'm gonna go out on a limb here and bet that Rockbox won't work on it. :)
05:19:50scorchefrom what it looks like
05:20:25BHSPitLappyyou know, I wonder why no 3rd party ever made replacement cases, for those willing to disassemble their iPods
05:20:41scorchecan you read the chip to the left of the apple chip?
05:20:45Paul_The_NerdNaah
05:20:50BHSPitLappysomeone could have made these aluminum cases for the 1G nanos already
05:20:51Paul_The_NerdI'm fairly certain there's no PP on it
05:21:12scorchealthough, that apple chip seem slike it has to be the processor with arm and all of the transistors
05:21:18Paul_The_NerdBHSPitLappy: I've seen re-cased iPods on sale, with various things like brushes steel casing, or gold, or wood.
05:21:31Paul_The_Nerds/brushes/brushed
05:22:08BHSPitLappycool
05:22:16BHSPitLappywell I did see the infamous wooden iPod mod
05:22:17Paul_The_NerdOf course, that could just be a rebranded PP chip to throw off hackers, or something
05:22:19BHSPitLappywhich was awesome
05:22:54Paul_The_NerdBut it seems more likely its the new Samsung one that was supposed to be happening.

05:23:38u238hey whats up
05:23:40u238im kinda drunk
05:23:41scorchei thought that it was the samsung chip, but Bagder said that is too major of a change
05:23:42u238but i got a couple questions
05:24:06Paul_The_NerdWhy would it be too major, I wonder?
05:24:09 Join Xadow [0] (i=c9f39883@gateway/web/cgi-irc/labb.contactor.se/session)
05:24:10scorchegoogle search on the numbers yielded no info (surprise!)
05:24:15Xadowhi ppl
05:24:15Paul_The_NerdYeah, tried that already. :)
05:24:56u238im sick and tired of the random folder names that itunes/ipod puts for the music
05:25:06Paul_The_NerdAh well, I suppose time will tell us what the Apple branded chip is.
05:25:09u238does rockbox does this?
05:25:12u238wow
05:25:17u238does rockbox do this?
05:25:25Paul_The_Nerdu238: Rockbox allows you to access your files in filetree mode if you want.
05:25:32u238well
05:25:38Paul_The_NerdWhich means you can just drag and drop folders of music onto it, and browse them with their real names
05:25:40u238i just bought a new car stereo
05:25:40scorchewell, from the sounds of things, PP doesnt even guve manufacturers datasheets, so im sure they had to use some proprietary tech to create bootloaders and such...they would have ot change for samsung, but i can see them having plenty of time for that
05:25:40BHSPitLappyPaul_The_Nerd, I thought samsung just made the storage chip.
05:25:43Xadowi doubt rockbox does it being a proyect with fully-customizable
05:25:47Xadowpurpose
05:26:10scorcheBHSPitLappy: the deal was for processors as well
05:26:13Paul_The_Nerdscorche: I doubt *that* much would have to change really. Just the drivers for the SoC stuff
05:26:17Xadow(@u238)
05:26:35Paul_The_NerdBHSPitLappy: There was an announcement at some point that the next Flash-based iPod would no longer be Portalplayer. I *think* they named Samsung, but I cant remember for sure.
05:26:35BHSPitLappywhat SoC stuff?
05:26:38scorchePaul_The_Nerd: which is why i was wondering about his too major of a change thing as well
05:26:40BHSPitLappyah.
05:26:51u238my new car stereo: http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?skuId=7689129&type=product&id=1141762608953
05:26:58Paul_The_NerdBHSPitLappy: System on a Chip. The fact that USB is controlled by the PP chipset on the iPods, and so on.
05:27:01scorchePaul_The_Nerd: they did..i looked it up for midk recently because he hadnt heard about it
05:27:03u238and i can plug my ipod in via usb right in the front
05:27:06u238and it reads the folder names
05:27:10u238like it should
05:27:18u238but my ipod has a bunch of random folder names
05:27:19Paul_The_Nerdu238: As I said, Rockbox allows you to use folder names.
05:27:19BHSPitLappyoh.
05:27:37u238ok cool
05:27:40u238thanks
05:27:41u238one more
05:27:55u238can i see some damn screen shots? there are none on the site
05:27:58u238that i an see
05:28:01u238can*
05:28:02Paul_The_Nerdscorche: Okay. I remembered they named *someone* but I'm terrible with names.
05:28:05BHSPitLappyu238, it sounds like this doesn't even have to do with rockbox
05:28:10Paul_The_Nerdu238: Check the manual.
05:28:14u238ok thanks
05:28:16Paul_The_Nerdu238: Or the WPSGallery
05:28:17u238i will

05:28:21u238thanks
05:28:33Xadowi was really wondering about the video
05:28:34u238BHSPitLappy, read again
05:28:39scorchei hate playing the waiting game =(
05:28:42u238im inquiring
05:29:13Paul_The_NerdXadow: You mean the "5.5G" iPod?
05:29:16Xadowis the size on the converting instructions the only size the video can be?
05:30:18Paul_The_NerdNo, but it's the ideal size since the video won't be scaled.
05:30:31Paul_The_NerdWell, an ideal size
05:30:31u238does the FM radio work on ipods?
05:30:41Paul_The_Nerdu238: iPods don't have built in FM radios
05:30:47u238k
05:31:02u238do you have prebuilt responses?
05:31:04u238lol

05:32:36Paul_The_NerdXadow: What page are you looking at?
05:32:43Paul_The_NerdFor the RVF Player?
05:33:00Paul_The_NerdThat page is only valid for the Archos bitmap-screened players.
05:33:12Xadowi thought that rockbox would allow me to get higher video sizes then the ipod's default
05:33:20Xadowi see >_<
05:33:33Paul_The_Nerdhttp://www.rockbox.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/PluginMpegplayer
05:33:34scorcheXadow: the mpegplayer plugin is a work in progress
05:33:58Xadowany way an amateur can help with it?
05:34:08Paul_The_NerdAlso, Rockbox doesn't support output to TV, so at the moment, there's no reason to support resolutions higher than the screen size.
05:34:27scorchePaul_The_Nerd: apparently, according to that article, it isnt quite a straight processor changeout planned...this is because the portalplayer's chip influenced other design decisions as far as other components
05:34:45scorcheXadow: sadly, not really
05:35:10scorcheso it *could* be pretty big
05:35:46scorchebut it is still too early for all of these speculations...as i said...i hate playing the waiting game =P
05:35:50Paul_The_Nerdscorche: I saw that. Considering the size decrease and battery life increase, it seems *more* likely to me now. :)
05:36:05scorcheyeah
05:36:45Xadowactualy, suporting playback of a 1024x movie would be important, unless the size doesn't apply to the playback but just to the size it can be displayed
05:37:00scorcheoh yeah...i was watching a movie
05:37:06scorchePaul_The_Nerd: thanks for the distraction =)
05:37:26Paul_The_NerdXadow: It's rather unlikely the iPod will ever be able to do a 1024 by Anything movie
05:37:38Paul_The_NerdAlso, why is it beneficial or important at all, if you can resize the movies before putting them on it?
05:38:05Xadowbecause i could always keep the original size without using extra space
05:38:31 Quit u238 ()
05:38:55Paul_The_NerdHow does having the file take up at a minimum three times the space (on the iPod) as it has to save space, unless you're planning on keeping your only copy of the file on a portable device?
05:39:07BHSPitLappyXadow, you have a collectionof HD video? that you want to keep on your mp3 player??
05:39:43BHSPitLappyPaul_The_Nerd, I think he wants to have both accessible on the drive either way... and having one file serve both purposes is less space
05:40:09Paul_The_NerdTrue, but I wouldn't want my high definition video in MPEG2.
05:40:15XadowBHSPitLappy: could you fill your mp3 player with mp3 songs you will actualy listen?
05:40:17BHSPitLappynope...
05:40:29BHSPitLappyXadow, but you actually do have HD video?
05:40:47Xadowwhat do you mean with HD?
05:40:50XadowT_T
05:40:54BHSPitLappyhigh definition.
05:40:54Paul_The_NerdHigh Definition
05:41:04Xadow*ignorant*
05:41:04Paul_The_Nerd1280x720, 1960x1080
05:41:05BHSPitLappy1024x??? is high than DVD.
05:41:12BHSPitLappys/high/higher/
05:41:32Paul_The_NerdDVD is / should be 720x480 or 720x something lower if it's 16:9, right?
05:42:08Xadowi see
05:43:09Paul_The_NerdBut the iPod really isn't very powerful at all
05:43:19Xadowi bet
05:44:09Xadowwhat would you guys really recomend me for a high cuality player for video and lossless stuff
05:44:11Xadow?
05:44:42Paul_The_NerdIf you want to actually play video, one of the Archos PVRs
05:44:46Paul_The_NerdLike the 500 series maybe.
05:46:33Xadowfor the 112x64? doesn't realy sound good if i want to share it later
05:46:39Xadow*really
05:46:45Paul_The_NerdLossless on a portable is mostly a silly concept unless you're feeding optical out into a better quality DAC than most of them would come with.
05:46:57Xadowbut i want to do anything =P
05:46:58Paul_The_NerdThe Archos PVRs are not Rockboxable players
05:47:22Xadowdoesn't sound good =S
05:47:26Paul_The_NerdRockbox is focused on Audio Players, and so far most audio players can't really do high quality video.
05:47:33Xadow"rockboxable" ROFL
05:49:28Xadowbut what doesn't sound good is the "not" part of the sentence
05:49:56Xadowi have been looking to the proyect once in a while, i like it
05:50:26belzeits a great project
05:50:40belzeif your player is fully supported of course ;)
05:50:51 Quit sharpe ("Leaving")
05:51:32Xadowi was thinking on getting an 80 gig ipod to listen to whatever i want, whenever i want
05:51:33Paul_The_NerdWell Rockbox focuses on Audio. There's not a "good" video player that Rockbox runs on.
05:52:28belzeXadow: well, you think you can really fill that space with an efficient codec like ogg vorbis?
05:52:29Xadowand i have to admit i don't really want HD stuff, i just want to see the videos on the cuality they originaly are
05:52:43Xadowjust wondering the power of the devices you knew
05:53:36Xadowogg vorbis? meh... i love flac... since ape isn't suported tue to hardware limitations
05:53:44Xadow*due
05:54:21belzewell, as Paul_The_Nerd already said you wont need flac on a portable device
05:54:30Xadowi care about audio the most, hehe
05:54:30belzeor any other lossless codec :)
05:54:45LandusPaul.
05:54:54belzei also do, thats why i keep my music in flac on my pc
05:54:54Xadowso... it just won't be usefull, huh?
05:54:55Paul_The_NerdSeriously, unless your portable device has optical out, and you're running it into a *much* better DAC than the one in the device, you're losing plenty of quality just from the components anyway
05:55:06belzebut i convert it to ogg vorbis when i need it on my iriver h110
05:55:13LandusIt was picking up files in the /Recycled folder.
05:55:23LandusThe playlist trick showed as such.
05:55:24Paul_The_NerdLandus: So, checking the playlist solved it? :)
05:55:29LandusYes. Thanks.
05:55:40Xadowgratz
05:55:52Paul_The_NerdXadow: Basically, high quality Ogg/Vorbis or MPC shouldn't be distinguishable from lossless on a DAC except in the cases of artifacts.
05:56:21scorcheLandus: ha!...i thought you said that you knew for sure that there were no duplicates on the device =P
05:56:23Paul_The_NerdBut if you do want to use FLAC, you should go with the H140, that way you can at least hook it up to higher quality gear when/if it's available.
05:56:29LandusI did.
05:56:55LandusExcept that apparently, the way I checked didn't show the Recycled folder.
05:57:55Xadownow, when there is lost cuality of audio on the device, wouln't there be a larger cuality loss with lower cuality audio?
05:58:40belzeXadow: the thing is, that the components like the dac/amp/... cause more loss in quality than converting the files to a lossy format
05:59:11LandusWell. One problem solved.
05:59:14Xadowwould it be 99% unoticeable or would it just be the same thing anyway?
05:59:26belzehmm, does mp3 really work without boosting on the h1xx series?
05:59:38LandusOne more to go.
05:59:52XadowLandus: may i help you?
05:59:53Paul_The_NerdXadow: I will bet that whatever device you choose, if you were to attempt to ABX *good* lossy files vs. lossless files you would not be able to.
06:00
06:00:19LandusThough, it's more of a new build with Julius' new set of themes and patched.
06:00:32LandusI'm getting a compling error.

06:01:24Paul_The_NerdThere's going to be some work before the Nano 2G has a chance of being supported.
06:01:35scorcheyeah...i am writing a post in there sharing the pics you shared in here =)
06:02:10Xadowmeh... for helping here i'm a good SRO player...
06:02:18safetydanbelze, either no boosting or very close to it
06:02:50Paul_The_NerdLandus: Did any of the hunks fail while patching? I would hazard a guess that the part of the patch that modifies the function didn't work, which is why the function call isn't working.
06:03:50*Xadow thinks that it sounds coherent
06:03:54Xadowhahahaa
06:03:59safetydanLandus, the error tells you pretty much what you need to know. The setmargins function is out of sync with that line some how. You'll probably have to wait for someone to update the patches.
06:04:03belzesafetydan: i am also wondering about the performance speed-ups on mpc, eats less cpu than ogg vorbis
06:04:27belzealmost no boosting
06:05:39safetydanbelze, yeah musepack got a lot of optimisation work when it was added
06:05:46Paul_The_NerdLandus: In pijulius' version of the patch, that call has only two parameters. You're using the one modified by Max Weninger, which requires some other change apparently, though he doesn't actually tell you what
06:06:28Paul_The_Nerdsafetydan: It's actually that someone created a second version of the patch, that seems to have a prerequisite of some sort that calls that function with 3 parameters instead of 2, and so he's using the wrong patchfile from the looks of it.
06:06:47Xadowwhy would someone need less cpu usage? longer batery life?
06:06:54belzesafetydan: i read a while ago, that lossless codecs like flac would even work with 11mhz on the iriver hxxx. do you know if that will be introduced into cvs sometime soon?
06:06:59BHSPitLappyso do we have any tests of rockbox vs. 5.5g or nano2g?
06:07:20belzeXadow: exactly
06:07:25Paul_The_NerdBHSPitLappy: The Nano2G is almost definitely a no-go now.
06:07:35Xadowgood...
06:07:41Paul_The_NerdBHSPitLappy: It would require some amazing work of fate for the Samsung audio codec to work the same as the wolfson. ;)
06:07:50BHSPitLappyoh?
06:08:19Paul_The_NerdBHSPitLappy: Check the Nano2G thread in the forum, it seems someone's reasonably certain about the processor. The part number for it matches the labelling at least.
06:09:02BHSPitLappydoes that mean it won't boot, or the audio codecs will be messed up
06:09:11LandusSorry. Had to move away from the computer.
06:09:18Paul_The_NerdBHSPitLappy: It won't boot, and when it does boot, some work will have to be done to make it have sound.
06:09:36BHSPitLappysucks
06:09:53BHSPitLappyshould just put a 1g's internals into a 2g's casing, then
06:09:54LandusYes, a few hunks failed, but I manually put in the changes that didn't go through found in the .rej files.
06:10:19Paul_The_Nerdbelze: There's probably only minimal benefit in slowing the processor down that much. The user interface would probably get very slow.
06:10:32belzeah, ok, i see
06:10:38scorchePaul_The_Nerd: were you able to find any specs at all for the new processor, like pp's "press releases" or whatever?
06:10:47Paul_The_NerdLandus: As I said, the real problem is that you're using a modified version of that patch that doesn't modify everything it needs. Whoever created the patch had some changes he didn't include in it.
06:10:55safetydanbelze, no idea
06:11:07LandusJulius added the patch himself.
06:11:17XadowLandus: Translation: use another one
06:11:26Landussafetydan: My knowledge of C is rather.. minimal. Dunno what you were saying.

06:29:21LandusThis is a new build from scratch. That must've been added by one of the patches.

06:37:44safetydanLandus, it's under firmware/export
06:37:46Paul_The_Nerdscorche: 66mhz might even be enough for a Nano. Especially if it's dual core like the PP was.
06:37:50safetydanbut #include "font.h" should do it

06:38:16Paul_The_NerdAh.
06:38:28LandusThat line is already in statusbar.c
06:38:42Paul_The_NerdWell, we have MP3 and everything already working at 75mhz, so 66 doesn't seem a huge stretch.

09:29:07hcsmost of rockbox is in C, though, so I shouldn't even need to get much into the specifics
09:29:11Bagderindeed

09:49:57Slasheriamiconn: hmm, that seems to fix the issues with cpu boosting with plasma plugin for example.. i just added very simple feature of cpu auto boosting to thread.c. If it detects that core has been last in sleep long ago (CPU_AUTOBOOST_TRIGGER interval, for example 100ms), cpu will be boosted by kernel. And then unboosted immediately when core goes in sleep. cpu_boost still keeps cpu boosted if requested, so kernel wont override anything. It ...
09:50:03Slasheri... just makes playback code simpler, since it's enough just to trigger the cpu boosting manually if buffer goes low without the need to worry about unboosting the cpu

10:54:39webguest94hey guys im wondering if some one can tell me how to install the album art patch
10:55:37bluebrotherwebguest94, there are some wiki pages about that.
10:55:49webguest94oh really
10:55:55bluebrotherSimpleGuideToCompiling and WorkingWithPatches pops in my mind.
10:56:17bluebrotheryou don't "install" a patch, you apply it to the source. Then you need to build rockbox yourself.
10:56:25webguest94errr do you have to compile and stuff
10:56:30bluebrotheryes.
10:56:38webguest94oh
10:56:45webguest94well il give it a shot
10:56:47bluebrotherpatches can't be "installed"
10:56:56webguest94im not much of a programer
10:56:59bluebrotherthey only contain differences to the sources.
10:57:08webguest94hmm
10:57:10webguest94ok
10:58:23SlasheriLinusN: well, it's not possible to avoid all kind of those "not necessary" changes, because usually one doesn't even think doing such a change. And btw regarding the coding style of that file.. it's a full mess of (...) { and (...) \n { styles. So it's rather hard to stick on any of these
10:58:27bluebrotherit's different to the patches e.g. Microsoft releases. Those are binary patches, but this only works if you know what exactly version those binary patches are build against.
10:58:59LinusNSlasheri: it's very possible to avoid those changes
10:59:12webguest94so will the patch, patch up the rockbox.iriver file to work with album art
10:59:16LinusNSlasheri: just review your own patch and undo the unnecessary changes
10:59:27Slasherihmm, true. that would do it

10:59:51bluebrotherwebguest94, no.
11:00
11:00:22scorchewebguest94: you will apply the patch, then re-compile...please read the pages that he referenced
11:00:26bluebrotherThe patch will change the source. Then you can recompile the source which gives you the rockbox.iriver file (and the other files that rockbox needs)
11:00:43webguest94ok
11:01:00Slasheribut i am not sure if it's for the effort to undo some minimal changes that would just improve the code readability
11:01:04LinusNSlasheri: i'm trying to figure out why idle poweroff would hang
11:01:16SlasheriLinusN: sounds great
11:01:31Slasherii haven't yet seen that to happen with my iriver :/
11:03:51dongsany new things on ipods wrt power management?
11:04:32dongsLinusN: hey wahts this? Set the iPod hardware EQ gain default to 0dB <
11:04:41scorchedongs: the site lists all CVS changes...
11:05:11LinusNdongs: it defaulted to +12dB before
11:05:20dongshrm
11:05:24dongsthat makes it sound bad?
11:05:30LinusNincredibly bad
11:05:40dongsthis is only if EQ is on?
11:05:43dongsor all the time
11:05:44LinusNthe eq is supposed to default to flat
11:05:49dongsah
11:08:34linuxstbhcs: Going back to your loader2 question - are you running exactly the same rockbox build as you did with the Rockbox bootloader? If not, could you test your currently installed build with the Rockbox bootloader? i.e. try and prove conclusively that loader2 helps?

11:54:45preglowyes, there i did
11:55:26mirak6linuxstb I want to do idct_add and idct_copy in asm. for elephant dream in 196*126 I go from 20 fps to 33
11:56:15amiconnpreglow: If the coefficients are always close to 1.0 or 2.0, you can improve precision without needing more bits...
11:56:53linuxstbmirak6: What about without the IRAM change? i.e. can you give figures for the two changes individually? I would prefer to commit them separately, with different commit messages.
11:56:55preglowamiconn: they are always close to that for low cutoffs
11:57:04preglowamiconn: not by any means in other cases
11:59:24mirak6the performance gain is really obvious when you test it. profiling would help though. What I need to test carefully is how memory acces can be optimised, for exemple, is it preferable to acces 4 consecutive bytes in sdram with 4 move.b or is it better to load that long word to iram then acces the bytes with move.b from that iram place. Same for writting..to

12:01:28linuxstbCouldn't you just do it in asm? i.e. read the four bytes into a register, do the processing, then write the register back?
12:02:10 Quit aegray (Remote closed the connection)
12:02:19linuxstbOr preferably, read/write more than 4 bytes at once.
12:03:02 Join aegray [0] (n=aegray@74.135.163.80)
12:08:09mirak6linuxstb the problem is that it's not easy to get the bytes indivdiually. if you look in the asm functions that do clipping and add dest+block, I managed to copy back to sdram in one shot by moving bytes to register then shiffting to left. but getting the bytes from a registery loaded to ram seems harder because you get the bytes and in the wrong order and can't do a circular shift
12:08:12 Quit aegray (Remote closed the connection)
12:08:32preglowreading a byte from memory to a register is one cycle faster for long words than bytes
12:08:47 Join aegray [0] (n=aegray@74.135.163.80)
12:08:58preglowyou should always burst read if possible
12:11:18mirak6I can't find an efficient way to get bytes from a register without putting them each in individual register
12:11:34preglowyou just shift them out each time you need one
12:11:49preglowyou'll need a shift and an and
12:11:50mirak6in fact I don't see how to do that with a low cost
12:12:03preglowcost won't be low, no
12:12:15preglowit might just be cheaper to fetch bytes one by one if the source is in iram
12:12:38scorchelinuxstb: maybe i should have made "some" in caps to match how i said it to myself in my mind =P
12:13:20mirak6that's why I was wondering if using a little iram buffer of a long word wouldn't be easier.

13:01:43jhMikeSinit_voice uses remove_thread but not on itself

13:02:19jhMikeSthe case was handled in the old code btw
13:04:24Slasheriyep, remove_thread might crash in the patched scheduler when removing the current running thread because it doesn't do the proper preparations for the next thread

14:04:33amiconnPutting "album" art into each track's tag is a weird concept
14:04:53Zagortheli_ua: you need to refresh the cache of PluginIndex. I did that now.
14:05:30Magdaamiconn: why do you say that?
14:05:36theli_uaZagor, thanks
14:05:50*jhMikeS thinks plugins/codecs should use import tables instead of the api stucture pointers.
14:05:51peturMagda: 'album' <−−> 'track'
14:06:02ZagorjhMikeS: why?
14:06:07preglowjhMikeS: doesn't go too well with the binary format
14:06:47Magdapetur: you have the album or release that the track comes from in text, so why not an image?
14:06:55jhMikeSto keep binary compatibility so plugins/codecs can be precompiled
14:06:58Magdaits nicer to look at then squinting to read small text
14:07:15BagderMagda: because it is the same image for all songs in an album
14:07:17jhMikeSGive each api or exported data an id that is never reused
14:07:21dongsi got this awesome idea why dont they store ALBUM ART inside CD-TEXT blocks as BASE64 ENCODED binary??
14:07:50ZagorjhMikeS: why/when would you want to install new plugins without the corrresponding rockbox binary?
14:07:51linuxstbamiconn: So you think we should include zxbox in the Archos builds?
14:07:54jhMikeSThe ids should be in the pointer table and sorted so binary search can be used
14:08:07MagdaBagder: if there were individual images for individual tracks, i'd use that instead.
14:08:25BagderMagda: I was only saying why embedded the image in songs is silly
14:08:28Magdaut's also the same text for all tracks on an album.

14:08:35Bagderyou'll have the image N times isntead of 1
14:08:42jhMikeSZagor: So people can distribute plugins an binaries for use on rb like program...but I think relocatability would have to be threre too.
14:08:44MagdaBagder: i know. and i cant see why it's silly
14:09:00MagdaBagder: aah ok, now i get you
14:09:02Bagdera matter of opinion of course
14:09:17amiconnlinuxstb: Perhaps. The display resolution speaks against it though. The lack of resolution is even worse than for rockboy
14:09:36BagderjhMikeS: I don't see how we gain much by such a move
14:09:40amiconn(Spectrum: 256x192, Gameboy: 160x144, Archos: 112x64)
14:09:44linuxstbMagda: A bigger reason IMO against Rockbox using album art in tags is that it is normally the wrong size for your LCD - so it needs rescaling. It's also normally JPEG, which is harder for Rockbox to decode, and would mean adding JPEG decoding to the Rockbox core code.
14:10:05ZagorjhMikeS: it's like with linux kernel modules. if it's good it should be in the distribution. making a messy API with dynamic lookup etc is far too much trouble than it's worth
14:10:38linuxstbSo it's a lot more efficient to do the JPEG decoding and rescaling once on your PC, and then just store them as uncompressed .bmp files. itunes does the equivalent job when it creates the album art database on your ipod.
14:10:51jhMikeSBagder: I think it's wierd plugins (which to me are like apps) have to be built with the core.
14:11:07Bagderweird perhaps, but very effective
14:11:14Bagderand makes an easy installation
14:11:25preglowdoing a relocatable format would be very nice
14:11:32preglownot having to do the bloody codec swapping anymore, for instance

14:24:13amiconnThe current system is plain & simple
14:24:14dongshuhu, are the plugins now relocatable?
14:24:22preglowamiconn: i didn't say it wasn't, did i?
14:24:25preglowit's too plain and simple

14:26:18preglowthe plugin format works nice for old limited archos stuff, but it's going to become too limited for newer platforms sooner or later

14:29:01amiconnpreglow: With relocatable plugins we'd need to introduce some kind of dynamic memory management. Certainly not wanted...
14:29:03jhMikeSSlasheri: just want me to checkout the shutdown part?
14:29:11preglowamiconn: why?
14:29:55amiconnWith dynamic memory management every allocation might fail, and has to be checked
14:30:10amiconnI don't want to see out-of-memory errors in rockbox
14:30:11preglowamiconn: why would we need memory management?
14:30:20preglowi know we don't want it, you don't need to tell me that
14:30:29Bagderwe don't need malloc to do relocatable load
14:30:31amiconnWhere would you load the relocatable plugins?
14:30:36preglowamiconn: in the plugin buffer...
14:30:47amiconnHow would that work?
14:30:54Bagderjust that the plugin buffer don't have to be fixed at an absolute position
14:30:57pregloweh
14:30:59preglowyou just load it
14:31:02preglowhow hard can it be?
14:31:07preglowplugin buffer is the same old thing
14:31:10preglowit just floats around
14:31:11amiconnYeah, but where in the buffer?
14:31:22preglowit's wherever we bloody want to put it
14:31:28preglowstraight after all the other rockbox data
14:31:38amiconnHuh?
14:31:50preglowi really don't get what your point is
14:31:55amiconnWhat if the codec changes, and the new codec is larger than the old one?
14:32:06preglowthe plugin buffer is still fixed size
14:32:09preglowjust like now
14:32:19amiconnNot plugins, codecs...
14:32:26preglowwell, plugins, codecs, everything
14:32:29preglowthat part won't change
14:32:31amiconnThat's related to your 2-codec scenario
14:32:48amiconnMost of the time we don't need 2 codecs
14:33:13preglowi don't even know how that's handled now. where do we stuff the extra codec?
14:33:25amiconnhmm....
14:33:49amiconnMaybe that's a point...
14:33:49jhMikeSSlasheri: almost there...
14:33:58preglowthe extra codec buffer would be allocated on boot if voice is enabled
14:34:00preglowsimple as that
14:34:13preglowthrough perfectly ordinary rockbox means
14:34:29amiconnhmm again...
14:34:36 Quit aegray (Remote closed the connection)
14:35:03amiconnWhat about the iram parts?
14:35:12preglowthat will still need extra handling
14:35:22preglowthe loader will always have to pretend iram is used by the loaded object alone
14:35:28preglowand the playback thread needs to swap it out
14:35:30preglowwe can't avoid that
14:35:53 Join aegray [0] (n=aegray@74.135.163.80)
14:36:04preglowbut that copy is a lot faster than the ram to ram copy we need for codec swapping
14:36:09preglowhalf a megabyte of copying...
14:36:34amiconnNot that slow with burst-mode memcpy
14:36:44preglownah, not that slow, but unecessary still
14:36:59amiconnSo relocatable plugins and codecs would solve a few problems, but leave the majority of them
14:37:32preglowthe majority which is what? the iram problem? the need for static buffers? both of those can't be avoided, unless we start doing malloc, which i don't think we should
14:37:58amiconnThe only things it would solve are (1) Codec swap only needs to swap iram, not dram. Swapping and interlocking is still necessary. Plugins using iram also still need to stop playback and mute voice
14:38:30preglowit would solve the need for multiple builds for targets with differing amounts of memory too
14:38:56amiconn(2) It would make it easier to adapt to varying memory sizes (no separate builds for 64MB ipods anymore, and also for 8MB-modded archos)
14:39:23preglowanyway, i'm quite certain this feature would be allowed in rockbox if implemented cleverly
14:39:26amiconnBut then it complicates the loader
14:39:29preglowbut that needs to be done first :>
14:39:43amiconn...and makes the plugins larger, as they need a relocation table
14:39:46Zagorit also complicates the plugins/codecs
14:39:46linuxstbCouldn't we just have a (smaller) voice codec buffer, and compile the voice codecs to run from there?
14:40:03amiconnZagor: Not the codec/plugin code though
14:40:05preglowlinuxstb: i'd rather we just compiled in a custom voice codec
14:40:39Zagoramiconn: well, depending on what form of cosmetics we add
14:40:40amiconn...unless we can convince gcc to produce truly position independent code
14:41:09preglowalso, i don't really know if pic code is any slower than ordinary code
14:41:17preglowso i might of course be overlooking tons of things
14:41:49preglowarm code is pretty pic by default, at least
14:41:50jhMikeSSlasheri: things seem to be working fine...something seems "crisper" in the way its running. My OGG (Aerosmith - What It Takes) went from 85% boost with EQ to 71% !!! wtf

14:42:53Bagderhow does this perform on the arm targets?
14:42:58preglowi intend to find out

15:28:35LinusNvertic23: that's my main complaint about the x5, you need to carry that subpack around
15:28:47vertic23is it big?
15:29:05LinusNno, but you have one extra item to keep track of
15:29:09amiconnEl weirdo subpack.... and the odd placement of the joystick

15:35:50Bagderthe upside with it is of course that the player is somewhat smaller when you carry it around
15:36:43LinusNwell, they could have integrated the subpack by making the player slightly thicker
15:37:14vertic23...so there is no real "USB" plugin
15:37:19vertic23you always have to use subpack
15:37:31Bagderyes

16:06:03davei am sure i should be able to see my music files tho?
16:06:04preglowLinusN: he went from 32x32->32 muls
16:06:15bluebrotherwhere is your music located?
16:06:18preglowLinusN: going from that to 32x32->64 should be a little less overkill

16:08:27bluebrotheroops, h10

16:10:46davei can see the music folder on my PC... but not on rockbox
16:10:57davei use kubuntu dapper btw, not windoze
16:11:26daveor was that a command i run on my iriver?
16:11:35davei am such a noob
16:11:43LinusNdave: and you unmount the h10 properly before you unplug?
16:11:47bluebrotherI guess the folder is marked hidden but Linux hides files differently.
16:12:51amiconnYes, on unix-like systems .dotfiles are hidden
16:13:11amiconnRockbox knows both methods of hiding files
16:13:25bluebrotherdos / Windows has a flag in the file to mark it hidden.
16:13:40bluebrotherafaik when mounted on linux those hidden flags get ignored

16:17:08davei am now showing all files and can see my files + music...so thankyou :0
16:17:46bluebrotheron linux I think you can change the hidden flag with "mattrib"
16:18:02davehow far down the line to an actual release is the rockbox h10 version? is this still in beta or the like?
16:18:22bluebrotherbut I don't know how you tell which file to use ... mtools works with "drive letters"
16:18:34peturimho, that's what attributes are for, not hiding based on the name
16:18:58bluebrotherthe h10 has started recently so it's pretty early.
16:19:24bluebrotherI like the hiding based on filename, makes a lot of things easier.
16:20:21amiconnImho hiding based on filename is an odd concept
16:20:54peturmaybe you can squeeze the write protect in the filename too? ;)
16:21:01daveone more question, does USB mode work atm? as when i connect i get a USB icon on iriver, but nothing on the PC?
16:22:02amiconnFunnily enough, there's one place where *nix and windows behave the opposite way: smb/samba shares. With samba you can set the hidden flag independent of the name, in winodws the name has to end with $ in order to be hidden
16:22:36peturyes, those $name shares are weird
16:23:07peturmost people don't know that $c is available by default unless you disable it ;)

22:35:11FebsBut I assumed, wrongfully apparently, that when people were talking about how the hardware EQ sounded so great, it was because they were actually adjusting the EQ.
22:35:43FebsNot just turning it on and enjoying super bass boost.
22:35:58FebsNo wonder some people complained of distortion.
22:37:10linuxstbFebs: Yes, I think the gain (-12db to +12db) was originally stored as an unsigned number from 0 to 24 (with 12 as the default, representing 0dB). It was then changed to a signed number (-12 to +12), but the default was kept as 12, which then meant +12dB.
22:37:33webguest97Slasheri: Can you explain how does the timeout part of waiting-with-timeout work in your new scheduler? I don't quite understand how the timeout wakes the waiter.

22:42:07Davide-NYCQuestions: What is 'zxbox', how do I access it and does it exist for the Sim?
22:42:24webguest91Hi, I have a process related question. In the bug/patch tracker there are many patches that are just there −− with little chances to be committed. Many are very useful. But if a patch is not committed quickly chances are good that it will become outdated.
22:42:39linuxstbDavide-NYC: http://www.rockbox.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/PluginZXBox
22:42:52webguest97Slasheri: But isn't it only iterating through the sleep list? I must be reading something wrong...
22:42:54Davide-NYClinuxstb: THanks
22:43:21webguest91So wouldn't the following be useful: before committing a patch, it's discussed e.g. on IRC. And if it's found useful it's committed within one or two days.
22:43:28Slasheriwebguest97: yep, and blocked with timeout tasks are stored in sleeping list :)
22:43:54webguest97Ah ... that explains quite a bit :-)
22:44:00Slasheriwebguest97: true, it has already discussed quite a lot here..
22:44:16Slasherithat's why i have already made 10 revisions of it :)
22:44:46webguest91Slasheri: do you mean webguest91? (patch handling?)
22:45:15Slasherioh, yes.. those webguest nicks are just confusing :)
22:45:25webguest91Slasheri: sorry, I haven't followed the previous discussion
22:45:43*dionoea whispers something about /nick
22:45:57Davide-NYCLOL I thought "spectrum emulator" could have soehow been related to "spectrum analyser" and that zxbox was some sort of audio tool extraordinaire.
22:46:07markunpreglow: I'm trying to create a patch from the wma codec dir but cvsdo is being a bitch
22:46:22Davide-NYCOh well, gets added to the 'nofun' patch and removed. :-(
22:46:32linuxstbDavide-NYC: I guess the Spectrum wasn't popular in your part of the world?
22:46:37webguest91Slasheri: "10 revisions" −− isn't it frusrating? It's a waste of energy and time! Commit quickly or don't implement. Or just outline the solution in words.
22:47:21Davide-NYCI don't know, but unless it has serious uses I'm not into it.
22:47:21Slasheriwebguest91: well, there has been a lot of improvement
22:47:29Slasheriit's not a good idea to commit a broken patch
22:49:14webguest91Slasheri: yes. But there are quite a few useful and non-breaking patches (e.g. 5907) that don't get committed and stale
22:50:35linuxstbwebguest91: The author of #5907 has cvs commit access himself, so I don't know why he hasn't just committed it...
22:50:47webguest91Slasheri: ...and fonts, and ... But the devs are working on their own things (which is more fun). They should dedicate, say, 20% of their time to patch monitoring/committing
22:51:29webguest91Slasheri: ehm... didn't know that

23:33:48preglowsafetydan: the lower eq band is buggy, btw
23:33:59preglowit seems precision problems live to annoy me also outside of the grapher
23:34:13stevenmHello. I may have the iriver coming to me again, if my lazy friend remembers.
23:34:35stevenmI am unsure if I commited this, but.. does the midi player skip to the first note in the file automatically, or is there usually a delay?
23:34:45safetydanpreglow, how come no one noticed until now? and is there a solution?
23:35:41merbanansafetydan: what wma tree ?
23:35:57stevenmeq, eh? How is that implemented? fft, or filter, or some other way?
23:36:02safetydanmerbanan, the one that was posted to flyspray
23:36:06preglowstevenm: iir filters
23:36:15preglowsafetydan: because it's hard to trigger
23:36:24merbanansafetydan: do you have a link ?
23:36:28stevenmpreglow, aah cool! I'm finally in the second part of the DSP class, actually know what that is :)
23:36:28preglowsafetydan: you need to play a file, then play a file with complete silence, and sometimes it'll trigger and make a dc offset
23:36:34preglowstevenm: heh

23:36:47safetydanmerbanan, http://www.rockbox.org/tracker/task/4984 but it's not usable yet
23:36:49preglowstevenm: i implemented the eq as a usual cascade combination of five second order iir filters
23:36:54preglowstevenm: nothing fancy
23:37:00stevenmpreglow, aah I see
