#rockbox log for 2006-10-25

00:00:36linuxstbThey may read the IRC logs and reply anyway, but generally it's best to hang around and ask here.

00:21:44linuxstbI'm not at home, so it's easier to just download some new ones. But it seems archive.org's search is broken...
00:21:45preglowat least the bloody file i've got here should be able to be played without skipping...
00:22:12linuxstbPossibly other formats like wavpack are better for 24-bit though - I don't think FLAC gets a very good compression ratio.

00:28:52preglow24 bit i don't care much about
00:28:56preglowhigher sample rate would be nice, though
00:29:02preglowif only for not having to resample
00:29:16hcsI'd like the resampling to work better for 32KHz
00:29:29Paul_The_NerdResampling seems to be an inspiration for a lot of complaints about our sound quality
00:30:42preglowwell, small wonder, the resampler sucks rod
00:31:14hcs22KHz to 44KHz seems to work fine, but then again that's trivial

00:35:27Davide-NYCGenre9mp3: LOL
00:36:18Genre9mp3Davide-NYC: Check first and last from here: http://www.rockbox.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/WebHome?topic=GoldenQuotes
00:36:43Davide-NYCAmazing!
00:37:14Paul_The_NerdDavide-NYC: I think it'd be better if the function of the button were more hard-coded, rather than configurable.
00:38:14Davide-NYCI agree with you. Having said that I find it nearly ludicrous that the Rec button not take a user to the Recording screen from file tree menu and WPS.
00:38:27Genre9mp3Paul_The_Nerd: The point is though, what it should do?
00:38:33*Davide-NYC the 'nearly ludicrous bit will not get me on the quotes page
00:39:02Davide-NYCI find it apocalyptically block headed~!
00:39:09*Davide-NYC trying too hard
00:39:20Paul_The_NerdGenre9mp3: In the filetree, Holding it goes to the record screen, tapping it is one-button insert, Play+it is one-button Queue. In the WPS, holding it goes to the recording screen, tapping it shows you the current playlist, and Play+it is... I dunno... Playlist Catalog? EQ Preset list?
00:40:02Davide-NYCHold Rec button should go to the Recording screen.
00:40:07Genre9mp3Paul_The_Nerd: Sounds nice...
00:40:37Paul_The_NerdI think that covers what most people want to use it for.
00:40:49Genre9mp3I agree...
00:42:01Davide-NYCWhat about from Menu?
00:42:11Davide-NYCMust we exit menu to go to recording?
00:42:36Davide-NYCI say in all possible screens: hold rec = recording screen
00:42:49Genre9mp3Actually, you have to enter in the Menu to go to the recording screen ;)
00:45:05Genre9mp3But yes... I guess holding Rec could be used universally

00:45:14Davide-NYCYay! Lets do it!
00:45:36*Davide-NYC waits for a dev to save us
00:45:43preglowheh
00:45:48preglowwell, unless some better use for it comes up
00:45:50preglowi say that's a good idea
00:46:11Davide-NYC(in my best Cali voice) It's been like, forever.
00:46:19preglowit is a record button, after all
00:46:44Paul_The_NerdI think long hold of record should *definitely* be the record screen, pretty much everywhere (except places where quick-exiting doesn't make sense for some reason, if those exist)
00:47:14preglowyup
00:47:15preglowi agree
00:47:18Genre9mp3Should be tap = insert and play+Rec = queue or vice versa?
00:47:34Genre9mp3Also... taping rec in the menu doesn't get you back?
00:47:41Paul_The_NerdI can't imagine a better use for long-hold, since any real 'feature' we'd want to put on a button universally available, and recording is only available on recording targets anyway.
00:48:10Davide-NYCGenre9mp3: On H1x0, no
00:48:11jhMikeSdon't forget the FMRadio screen. There's no use of long rec there.
00:48:27Davide-NYCThat should go to Rec with FM enabled and chosen as source
00:48:40Paul_The_NerdGenre9mp3: Actually, tapping should be queue, holding should be insert, just so you can't accidentally permanently change playlists very easily.
00:48:49jhMikeSAlready does, just need to do it with the key instead of the menu
00:49:03Paul_The_NerdI can imagine tapping it, skipping over the song once you realize you've done so, and then saving it later and being irritated to find it was in there.
00:49:06Davide-NYCright, I was just being explicit
00:49:27Davide-NYCI can;t believe there's no feature request for this
00:49:30Genre9mp3Paul_The_Nerd: Yes... so it's better the opposite from your very first proposition
00:49:33Davide-NYCIf there is I can't find it
00:49:54Paul_The_NerdGenre9mp3: The original proposition was based partially on *my* usage habits, but I realized that swapping them is better for the general public. ;)
00:50:04Genre9mp3cool
00:50:09Genre9mp3I think we all agree
00:50:22Genre9mp3Now as Davide said... we need a Dev! :)

01:02:52holstit was previously an issue with the orig. firmware from iriver, however they fixed it
01:02:53jhMikeShmmm...on x5 there'd be no menu access then since the rec button is menu and long rec = quickscreen from most places.
01:03:16Davide-NYCholst: try clearing your settings
01:03:32Davide-NYCif not let me know as I had this happen but it went away
01:03:57Davide-NYCjhMikeS: I'm going to go back to the office but instead of working I'm going to test your patch

01:04:12jhMikeSDavide-NYC: good use of time at the office imo
01:04:16Davide-NYCwhat exactly would you like me to do? Same as last time?
01:04:37holstPaul_The_Nerd: i will check if the sound disapears if im not using the remote

01:06:20Davide-NYCis the LCD on your remote is updating it produces a f*ck*ng ticking noise
01:06:29holstyes

01:07:27Davide-NYCif you have peakmeters enabled (these update a lot) you'll here it during quiet passages
01:07:29holsthmm, not really a fix in my world, i guess i must deside: update or flac
01:07:29jhMikeSThe mono works and is really software only
01:07:48Davide-NYCjhMikeS: so no need to test channels
01:07:54Paul_The_Nerdholst: Just enable the "reduce ticking" option.
01:07:56jhMikeSno, those are fine
01:08:11Davide-NYCwill report back either here or in the forums.
01:08:16Paul_The_Nerdholst: The issue is a hardware flaw, so the only solutions are working around it, it can't actually be fixed entirely. The iRiver firmware update surely works around it as wlel.
01:08:31Davide-NYC^^ what paul said ^^^
01:08:37jhMikeSSee, them problem sometimes is that people "know" how the problem is fixed rather than magically being fixed by the manufacurer.

01:29:08markunamiconn: what about keeping i2c generic and linking with inline functions, or wouldn't that work?
01:29:10linuxstbmarkun: Is info about the hardware available anywhere? Is there much in common with your gigabeat?
01:29:19 Quit TeaSeaLancs (Remote closed the connection)
01:29:30amiconnmarkun: You can't link inline functions, they have to be compiled in
01:29:45amiconnThat's how inlining works
01:29:52markunlinuxstb: don't know much about the hardware yet. The CPU is a ARM+DSP
01:31:03linuxstbDo you own an S, or are you just exploring the firmware?
01:31:14jhMikeSI'd think you could use the same driver and just #define the which ports and bits are used really.

02:04:11pagefaultbarrywardell, sometimes it does lock up the player it can't turn the disk back on
02:04:24pagefaulti've experienced it if I leave it idle
02:04:55jhMikeSiirc correctly they do
02:05:25amiconn?
02:05:32barrywardelli'm not sure what the source of that problem is. it seems like something that should affect all targets with disk power off enabled.
02:05:53pagefaulthmm only h10 affected
02:05:54pagefault?
02:06:16amiconnbarrywardell: I don't think so. It can be hardware dependent.
02:06:26jhMikeSI don't know, guess I'll ask later or if you see him. Haven't been around when he's here
02:06:35pagefaultperhaps the disk needs time to turn on back again

02:07:29pagefaultthe disk spins up then it just locks up
02:07:40barrywardellamiconn: true, but the poweroff is only really two lines of code. maybe we're missing a step?
02:07:40pagefaultlike it was trying to read then crashed before the disk was ready
02:08:09hcsbarrywardell: I'll be testing again with cpufreq5, with that one line I'd missed removed, but I'm not expecting much of anything
02:08:24barrywardelli wonder if we should force a delay after re-enabling disk power???
02:08:30pagefaultmaybe
02:08:36pagefaultit might be HD model dependant
02:08:43amiconnbarrywardell: Example: The archos player comes in 3 hardware versions. Version #1 has no disk power control at all. Version #2 _can_ power off the disk, but will crash when powering on again. Version #3 has no such problems
02:08:58pagefaultthe default iriver firmware gives it like 5 seconds to spin up
02:09:16amiconnVersion #2 is the reason why official rockbox builds for the player have no disk poweroff option. My local version has that option

02:10:21amiconnIf you have a closer look at the hardware of an arbitrary rockbox targets, you will find a bunch of hardware design error/drawbacks/whatever
02:10:35barrywardellamiconn: i see. so maybe disk poweroff isn't meant to be be done on the H10
02:10:37hcsand now, to dinner
02:10:59barrywardellit's an option that's defaulted to off anyway is suppose

02:13:27pagefaultI have an idea

02:14:47pagefaultit could be that when the disk is powered back on it is still in standby mode as well

02:16:22barrywardellpagefault: yes, quite possible
02:16:26amiconnWhen the disk is powered back on, it will _always be in standby_. The driver will activate it

02:18:03amiconnThe hdd firmware implements the ata protocol, which is standardized
02:18:27pagefaultI see
02:18:51amiconnIf the ata driver doesn't work correctly on a certain target, there must be a mistake in the very low level part for that target

02:59:09Davide-NYCThe recording end seems to work, but I see you've disabled some of the 11kHz availablilty
02:59:10jhMikeSuh oh... :)
02:59:22jhMikeSDavide-NYC: from where?
02:59:30Davide-NYCMP3
02:59:48jhMikeSYou can't use 11kHz for MP3 because that's only for MPEG2.5
03:00
03:00:10jhMikeSIt should never have been there
03:00:11Davide-NYCOK. I will never object to removing 11kHz as an option
03:00:27jhMikeSDoes it work on WAV and for playback though?
03:01:22Davide-NYCdoh!
03:01:44*jhMikeS will be able to fiddle with it himself by the 30th
03:02:04Davide-NYCThe WAVs playback perfect on the PC w foobar2k

03:06:11jhMikeS:)
03:06:54Davide-NYCActually it's a bit glitchy in that I can hear some "shearing" between lower samplerates

03:07:39jhMikeSI don't think it's a concern to be able to switch sample rates live without any glitch and probably unavoidable in most cases.
03:07:40preglowshearing?
03:07:52Davide-NYCThat's what I call it.
03:08:16Davide-NYCI'm imagining some infinite slope sections of the waveform
03:08:23Davide-NYClike a vertical line
03:08:37Davide-NYCbut of course that's just my imagination
03:09:05Davide-NYCjhMikeS: check out my menu idea: http://forums.rockbox.org/index.php?topic=7118.0
03:09:36Davide-NYCIt's all about IDCs... Input dependant Configurations
03:09:59Davide-NYCand a little bit about nested sub-menus.
03:10:19*Davide-NYC guesses that nested sub-menu is redundant
03:11:00jhMikeSnature calls...then will look...
03:11:10 Quit funky ("leaving")
03:12:41midkayDavide-NYC: nested submenus are inconsistent altogether with rockbox's current menu system.. and if it's just two entries it's pretty pointless to have a submenu at all.
03:12:56Davide-NYCMic/MP3/160kbps/Mono and Stereo at both samplerates sounds good to me as well.
03:12:57midkayi mean "long-hold-button-popup" submenus.
03:13:38Davide-NYCmidkay: I know, but where else are the menus dependant on another selection?
03:13:51midkaywhat?
03:14:03Davide-NYCIf another scenario like this exists I'd like ot take a look at how it has been implemented.
03:14:07Davide-NYCLemme 'splain
03:14:09midkayah, i see what you mean.. submenus are fine, but not ones that expand if you hold a button. that's just inconsistent.
03:14:29Davide-NYCIf you chose MP3 your available bItrate and samplerate options change
03:14:57Davide-NYCif you choose a certain MP3 bitrate your samplerate options change
03:15:05midkayi see.
03:15:33Davide-NYCall of these things depend on one another. Should a similar situation exist elsewhare that better conforms with the RB menu paradigm I'd be interested in studying it
03:15:52*Davide-NYC must learn to type eventually
03:16:08linuxstbDavide-NYC: Why not just normal submenus? i.e. one for MP3 settings, one for WAV, one for Wavpack.
03:16:23Davide-NYChttp://forums.rockbox.org/index.php?topic=7118.0
03:16:32midkayDavide-NYC: so you're arguing in favor of inconsistent menus, or just submenus? i've no problem with the latter..
03:16:43Davide-NYCJust sub menus.
03:16:59Davide-NYCread the forum post I think it's pretty clear
03:17:09Davide-NYCif not let me know and I'll make changes
03:17:21midkayexcept the part about, oh, inconsistent hold-button-to-expand submenus :)
03:17:28midkaywhich is what i wanted to clarify, everything else is clear.
03:17:38Davide-NYCI was thinking of it like htis
03:17:59 Quit |AhIoRoS| (Remote closed the connection)
03:18:03jhMikeSDavide-NYC: Was debating putting channels in the format submenus at the beginning and am still thinking about it.
03:18:07Davide-NYCshor click selects the encoder type and auto-inherits the settings "inside"
03:18:10jhMikeSNice glowing text BTW
03:18:48Davide-NYClong click opens the menu for modification of said inherited settings
03:18:56hcsbarrywardell: back from dinner, freezes as expected, I'm going to play around with the COP patch
03:18:57midkayDavide-NYC: but that's weird and kinda un-intuitive, and certainly inconsistent.. why not just MP3 Settings, WAV Settings, Wavpack Settings, and then Encoder Selection where you choose MP3/WAV/Wavpack.
03:19:02jhMikeSSome like it some don't but I'm really concerned about the need of those who have recording as a priority with this.
03:19:21Davide-NYCGuys let me explain the last paret of the post
03:19:30Davide-NYCIt's all about inheritance
03:19:48midkayand Encoder Selection would *inherit* [codec] Settings that you already set via standard submenus.
03:19:57jhMikeSoy
03:20:33Davide-NYCWell it's sort of "upward inherit"
03:20:56midkaywhich is a style of inheritance that i don't use in my suggested method of encoder/setting selection.
03:21:01Davide-NYCthe last bit in the post would be that the source you select inherits upward the settings you gave it last
03:21:10barrywardellhcs: did you experience any freezes with v3?
03:21:24midkayinstead i go for interface consistency and intuitiveness.
03:21:31Davide-NYCmidkay, how would you tackle the interdependance problem?
03:21:38hcsbarrywardell: once, I think, in the several weeks I used it
03:21:41*jhMikeS 's head is spinning at the thought...
03:21:50Davide-NYCI think it's awesome
03:21:53Davide-NYC:-)
03:21:54Davide-NYClol
03:22:07midkayDavide-NYC: didn't i explain? Encoder Selection chooses MP3, WAV or Wavpack. the selected encoder will then use the MP3, Wav or Wavpack settings you've specified on a per-codec basis.
03:22:20jhMikeSYou want sources to have encoder preferences
03:22:42Davide-NYCThat's the way it works now (with jhMikeS patch) and the way it would work under my system
03:22:48Davide-NYCthe only diff is the presentation
03:22:49midkaybitrate/frequency based on codec based on source? insane..
03:23:10Davide-NYCOK, take the source bit out
03:23:19jhMikeSsource selects preferred way to record it...makes sense to me really
03:23:25midkayDavide-NYC: exactly - it's a kinda-neat-but-inconsistent-and-requires-a-manual-to-figure-out presentation versus a standard-menu-system-we-use-all-over presentation.
03:23:26Davide-NYCYeah!
03:23:45Davide-NYCBut midkay (in my best scotty voice)
03:24:00Davide-NYCMP3 dictates certain freq at certain bitrates
03:24:12jhMikeSand channels at certain bitrates :)
03:24:19Davide-NYCso it's based on encoder regardless
03:24:26midkayDavide-NYC: so use a "source preference" menu too where you have three entries - Mic, Digital, Line In and you set either MP3, WAV or Wavpack in each of those. problem solved.
03:25:01linuxstbThat could just be done with .cfg files... It seems too complex otherwise.
03:25:10Davide-NYCmidkay, have you patched with jhMikeS big recording patch?
03:25:11 Part pixelma
03:25:25midkayit should be all configurable in a standard menu system (or not at all, it's pretty complex) or it'll be weird to nearly everybody... i can nearly guarantee its rejection if you want to get funky with menu systems.

03:27:29Davide-NYC*domain
03:27:42jhMikeSYes. It's just a matter of shuffling settings around and once the recording code and samplerate code is up that can be shuffled around np.
03:27:43Davide-NYCand an dap that records
03:27:47Davide-NYC:-P
03:28:03midkayi don't tend to display enthusiasm towards weird new menuing systems for only very certain areas of the menu where everything else uses a single other method...
03:28:17Davide-NYCyou're missing the forest for the trees
03:28:17jhMikeSThe encoder menus are not locked to a certain context and can be displayed anywhere
03:28:52Davide-NYCjhMikeS: what do think about persisten input dependant configs?
03:28:52midkayDavide-NYC: stop with the "you can't record so you don't know what i mean" stuff. i understand perfectly. it's just too weird versus the rest of rockbox.
03:29:24Davide-NYCI'm not on about that. I'm saying that the recording enthusiast has different requirements.
03:29:25AdamKilihmm.....Creative Zen Vision: M, or rockbox'd 80 GB iPod 5.5 (when supported)?
03:29:31hcsbarrywardell: so you say dan_a's patch doesn't work on the h10?
03:29:42jhMikeSDavide-NYC: I think if the ones who do a lot of recording would find it useful I like it too :)
03:29:47midkayDavide-NYC: i think requirements have nothing to do with using a weird menuing setup.
03:29:57Davide-NYCOK.
03:30:01midkayit might require about two more clicks to achieve the same thing.
03:30:03linuxstbAdamKili: You would only get one answer here - any Rockbox'ed device.
03:30:04midkaywhat's the big deal?
03:30:31barrywardellhcs: yes, i don't get two main threads, just the one on the main cpu
03:30:37*jhMikeS knows some of these points were controversial so he preserved the current Encoder Settings/Frequency/Channels setup.
03:31:04Davide-NYCIf you fully understand the domain (encoder restrictions) and can generate an interependant menu system that adheres to the rockbox menu paradigm please put up a rebuttal post in the forum.

03:31:12AdamKililol ya. just can't decide
03:31:14Davide-NYCI don;t see it
03:31:23midkayi don't think mutilating and destroying rockbox's nice consistency, simplicity and intuitiveness is worth saving a couple clicks.. especially when you might need to totally stop to read the manual - that certainly negates the few clicks you save.
03:31:40hcsbarrywardell: could you try it with a kernel running on the COP but just starting all threads on the CPU? I'm going to try out a patch that does that here
03:31:47linuxstbbarrywardell: I got the same the first time I tried it on my 5g - just a codec thread. But I tried it a few days laters, and got a main thread, so it's a mystery to me... I tried lots of earlier versions of the COP patch on my Photo, and never got a COP thread running.
03:31:48midkaysure, i iwll.
03:32:09jhMikeSI don't think source dependent settings should remove the current global setup though.
03:32:33Davide-NYCmidkay your point is valid, and I think you should put up a forum post using similar "glow" formatting as I did so that the two designs can be properly discussed
03:32:39jhMikeSThey would use the global settings until explicitly set somehow.
03:32:41midkayi am.
03:32:48barrywardellhcs: can you provide me with a patch and i will try it?
03:32:49Davide-NYCsweet
03:33:16Davide-NYCjhMikeS: so yet another menu?
03:33:20linuxstbjhMikeS: The standard Rockbox way to handle things like that is allowing the user to load .cfg files with the settings - so users can set them up for different recording environments.
03:33:21jhMikeSThat way no behavioral change takes place
03:33:29barrywardelllinuxstb: yes, i noticed that. seems there is still some work to be done on the patch
03:33:45Paul_The_NerdDavide-NYC: I don't understand, what qualifies as an "independent" setting anyway?
03:34:06barrywardelli've been trying to get jtag working with my h10. it could make debugging this stuff a lot easier!
03:34:20jhMikeSUnder source options: "Use Global Settings" or the like would be the default.
03:34:41barrywardelli'm still looking for good (free) software for using jtag with arm
03:34:44Davide-NYCPaul_The_Nerd: Codec independant = Source, Channels, File split, etc..
03:34:59Davide-NYCdependant = encoder, bitrate, samplerate
03:35:03Paul_The_NerdDavide-NYC: So, why are specialized menus necessary at all?
03:35:18jhMikeSChannels and Frequency are currently the only settings whose selection depends on file format
03:35:22Paul_The_NerdOnce you pick an encoder, why not just have the available bitrate and sample rates show different lists depending on the encoder?
03:35:26linuxstbbarrywardell: Try finding davidc in #ipodlinux or #ipodlinux-dev - he's succeeded in using JTAG with a PP5020 ipod.
03:35:50Paul_The_NerdHave sane defaults so that if someone changes the encoder without manually changing the others, it resets to something semi-happy.
03:35:51linuxstbbarrywardell: He's got a wiki page on ipodlinux.org about it as well.
03:35:59 Part AdamKili ("Ex-Chat")
03:36:05Paul_The_NerdBut I don't understand any benefit of a custom menu structure rather than simply a standard settings menu
03:36:22jhMikeSIf you have WAV selected at 11kHz and the you select MP3 you'll find your Frequency automatically set to 22kHz for example
03:36:25Davide-NYCBecause visual heirachy should relate to logical heirarchy?
03:36:37hcsbarrywardell: http://pastebin.ca/220168 , its just the kernel_on_cop_4.diff without the patch to run the codec thread on the COP
03:36:43Davide-NYCHey, if I'm the only guy for this it's a dead point
03:36:58Davide-NYCbut I'd like it discussed at some length first
03:37:24barrywardelllinuxstb: thanks. i'll ask him about it
03:37:30Davide-NYCBut, if I can generate a config file now that sets up my rec settings based on source, I'll shut up and just make one
03:37:43*jhMikeS should probably commit the i2c driver change w/o the asm enabled since the improvement is so huge.
03:37:48Davide-NYCand forget the whole ugly incident. ;-)
03:37:54linuxstbIs 11.025KHz MP3 the only problem? If so, then we should try and fix the MP3 encoder to handle it.
03:38:14Paul_The_NerdIt seems to me that it'd be logical to save independently for each source, what you've got the settings at, but I don't think custom menuing is at all necessary.
03:38:23jhMikeSlinuxstb: no...if you have 88.2 WAV selected it's the same sort of thing.

03:44:48AdamKiliit didn't find it that way. that's y i was confused. maybe i typo
03:44:51Davide-NYCI still think visual heirarchy should relate to logical heirarchy but if I'm alone (and I'm not convinced I am until the recording comunity chime in) I'll drop it.

03:45:34barrywardellmidgey34: check my latest cvs commit ;)
03:45:56midkayPaul_The_Nerd: ah, i see.. that's a very good way to look at it.. mine was kinda a direct translation of the expanding menus into a submenu system.
03:46:06Davide-NYCwhy, where else would there be benefit from expanding sub-menus?
03:46:53midkayDavide-NYC: nowhere else. there'd only be a benefit from not having them - no missed recordings due to a required manual read by most people, no consistency or intuitivity complaints.
03:47:03Paul_The_Nerdmidkay: Have you given any thought to adapting the clock sliding highlight bar an option for the main menu code, like that one person was pestering about? (It was you that did it, right?)

03:49:34Paul_The_NerdI think that menu navigation should *never* require long vs short presses.
03:50:01Paul_The_NerdMenu navigation is a pretty basic concept, and should be kept as absolutely uncomplicated as possible
03:50:07linuxstbHow about moving all the recording settings into the codec settings? i.e. Recording Format (mp3/wav/wavpack), and then "mp3 settings", "wav settings", "wavpack settings" which include source, samplerate, channels etc.
03:50:30midkayconsistency and intuitivity is important. all rockbox menus can be used the same way - in, adjust, out. if you go and set up one menu to use long presses and expanding submenus, that consistency is lost.
03:50:44Paul_The_Nerdlinuxstb: I think you could get away with just setting the currently selected codec's settings, if there were some way to query the codec for what valid options were for each.
03:50:44jhMikeSI think showing a setting at the right and changing it in place like many OF and appliances do would be nice though.
03:50:57Paul_The_Nerdlinuxstb: I think that would then be more easily extendable without having to explicitly expand the menu for new formats.
03:50:58barrywardellhcs: with that patch i just get all threads running on the cpu, and just the one main thread
03:51:02midkayjhMikeS: that's an entire firmware change, though.
03:51:28midkaysomeone coded it actually.. i've seen it on the forums. it's nice, but certainly not for a single menu.. that's a very WTF situation to come across when everything else behaves another way.
03:51:40linuxstbI just think it's confusing that changing codec (or something else) will magically change another setting.
03:52:13hcsbarrywardell: I messed up, it won't even start up on my ipod
03:52:31linuxstb(e.g. if you have 11.025KHz or 88.2KHz selected, but then change the codec to MP3)
03:52:50*Paul_The_Nerd shrugs
03:53:04Paul_The_NerdIt seems to me it'd be fair that when you select MP3, it defaults to sane MP3 settings that you can then change.
03:53:10jhMikeSlinuxstb: yes...a bit. Like I said, that can be shuffled around rather easily though.
03:53:23Paul_The_NerdBut I'm not a big recorder, I was just thinking for menu neatness, not having duplicated options for every single codec
03:53:55*jhMikeS points out why he left it alone as much as possible :D

03:57:59jhMikeSStill is but I may just restrict those low bitrates to mono since 16kbps stereo = 2*8kbps mono
03:58:22Davide-NYCI have a file of myself speaking where I have to presume it says "MP3, 8 kilobits per second, 11 kiloHertz, Stereo"
03:58:43Davide-NYCNo way of knowing otherwise, unless you're a droid
03:58:50jhMikeSThe lowest samplerate available for the MP3 is 22050
03:58:55Davide-NYCperfect

04:00
04:01:08Davide-NYClinuxstb: you earlier mentioned that you found it 'wierd' that your settings could change based on other choices. If you have a design idea to alleviate that please post it in the forum.
04:01:09jhMikeSI think having a complete useless and unintelligible setting is a bit "insane"
04:01:20Davide-NYCThat's what I like to hear
04:01:56jhMikeS8kbps is quite intelligible for mono though so I don't have problem with that combo
04:02:23jhMikeSIf it's useful for voice only it's good
04:02:47Davide-NYCOh dear, you didn;t restrict it though
04:02:57jhMikeSnothings restricted yet
04:03:01Davide-NYC8kbps/22k/stereo is beeps and boops only
04:03:15Davide-NYCyou're telling me mono is OK?
04:03:34jhMikeSYeah...for voice.
04:04:09jhMikeSI figure for voice all that really matters is that it be easily understood
04:04:42Davide-NYCI don't want to get into subjective ramblings, but please define "OK"... ;-)
04:05:31Davide-NYCI'll quickly present a theory. If you can record stuff this 'crappy' we're going to get a lot more GoldenQuotes from all corners.
04:05:32jhMikeSFor voice I don't care about artifacts. Only that it be about as clear as a telephone.
04:05:53Davide-NYCcan't we split the difference? Compromise
04:05:58Davide-NYC:-)
04:06:16jhMikeSWell, if some bonehead wants to do DAT archiving at 24kpbs, let 'em.
04:06:31Davide-NYCyeah, you're right
04:06:43Davide-NYCIt's in the statusbar the whole for crying out loud
04:06:48Davide-NYC*whole time
04:07:05jhMikeSIt's just NOTHING is able to be made out at 8kpbs stereo. Maybe if it did joint stereo it would work.
04:07:22jhMikeSThat's for later though
04:07:25Davide-NYCSo the question is from what bitrate will you restrict to mono?
04:07:59jhMikeSAnything under 16 for sure
04:09:00Davide-NYC16k/22kHz/stereo is junk as well, equal voice to artifact (subjectively
04:10:12Davide-NYCHow about all of the exclusively 22kHz settings should be restricted to mono?
04:10:22jhMikeSI may just nix all the 8kbps.
04:10:29Davide-NYCand 16 then!
04:10:35Davide-NYCand 24
04:10:38Davide-NYCstart at 32
04:10:42*jhMikeS is listening to Davide-NYC's voice files
04:10:45Davide-NYCleave everything else as is
04:11:51jhMikeS22k mono is good
04:12:07jhMikeSI mean 16kbps mono
04:12:45jhMikeSand start at 32kbps for stereo
04:13:28Davide-NYCI can agree with that
04:13:35Davide-NYCyou are sage
04:14:23jhMikeSThe voice sounds very good at those rates, better than the answering machine
04:14:46jhMikeSWay better than the drive-through window even
04:15:47Davide-NYCnot familiar with the drive through window (NYC) :-)
04:16:00Davide-NYCNo car even!
04:16:18jhMikeSMaybe actually "driving-through" the window then
04:16:30Davide-NYChehe
04:16:43jhMikeSLess noisy than a drive by

04:18:10jhMikeShmmm...if it records at all the rates and plays at all the rates we're good.
04:18:30jhMikeSso I can't think of anything else except for SPDIF
04:18:43Davide-NYCI can test that tomorrow or the day after.
04:18:50Davide-NYCI need access to the studio
04:19:07Davide-NYCOtherwise I can only test at 44.1k
04:19:23jhMikeSWould be good enough ATM to see if it even works still
04:19:30Davide-NYCOK I do
04:19:36Davide-NYCdoh!
04:19:45jhMikeShuh?!?
04:19:47Davide-NYCdon;t have the right cable (we've been over this)
04:19:57Davide-NYCstill need to go to the studio.
04:20:00jhMikeSmmm...got's to get me a cable
04:20:00Davide-NYCsorry
04:20:06jhMikeSit's cool
04:20:13Davide-NYCwell they're usually not toslink to toslink
04:20:39jhMikeSI suppose I'll see what I need when my H120 arrives
04:20:56Davide-NYCmaybe they're all called toslink
04:21:18Davide-NYCone has a square outer connector and one is shaped exactly like an 1/8" jack
04:21:21jhMikeSIs it the same connector used for DVD players and such on the H120?
04:21:25Davide-NYCno
04:21:27jhMikeSoh
04:21:39Davide-NYCthat's the square end I'm talking about
04:22:01Davide-NYCthe other end that interfaces with the H1x0 is the shape of an 1/8" headphone jack
04:22:10jhMikeSok...can you buy that?
04:22:15Davide-NYCyep
04:22:34jhMikeSspecialty item?
04:22:59Paul_The_NerdPretty common
04:23:31Davide-NYCwhat are they called?
04:23:32Paul_The_NerdThough oddly enough when I tried to buy one at Fry's electronics the guy in the audio cables section was clueless about both the terms Toslink and SPDIF
04:23:34jhMikeSok...some cheap cable that works well is good enough. I've seen some for $90...insane
04:23:45Davide-NYCno no $5
04:23:48jhMikeSah
04:23:56jhMikeSabout 5'
04:24:14Paul_The_Nerd5' would probably be in the $10-$20 US range.
04:24:38jhMikeSSaw some on Froogle for like 8.99 but both square ends
04:25:13jhMikeSWhat's the jack type for the H1x0 end called?
04:26:01jhMikeSand the square end is toslink, right?
04:26:22Davide-NYCI presume
04:26:26Paul_The_NerdI think the square end is the regular SPDIF connector and the rounded one is Toslink, but I really dunno
04:26:41Davide-NYCthe other end is shaped exactly like a 3.5mm (or 1/8") headphone jack
04:26:45jhMikeS"Fry's electronics" is a disturbing name
04:26:50Davide-NYCHAHA
04:27:08scorchefrys is a great store =)
04:27:11Paul_The_NerdIt's pretty much the best one-stop store though
04:27:15jhMikeSonline?
04:27:19Paul_The_NerdPhysical
04:27:21Davide-NYCI think SPDIF is the data protocol
04:27:27scorchetheir online store sucks...
04:27:30Paul_The_NerdOnline, I pretty much shop Newegg
04:27:33Davide-NYCyou can have SPDIF over regular RCA jacks
04:27:47Davide-NYCelectrical instead of optical
04:27:48jhMikeSI've got opticals on everything though
04:27:50scorchebut in terms of brick-and-mortar, frys is king
04:27:51Paul_The_NerdI didn't know that digital-coax was still called SPDIF
04:28:07Paul_The_NerdI've always just heard it called 'digital' or 'digital over coax'
04:28:12Davide-NYCI htink it's the transmission protocal much like IP with TCP/IP
04:28:35Davide-NYCtada!

04:28:54Davide-NYCthat, jhMikeS is what you need
04:30:09Davide-NYCto go from one H1x0 to another one would need a dual 3.5mm jack cable
04:30:29jhMikeSpics aren't coming up...hmm
04:31:09jhMikeSI can put two of those together with the TosLinks in my ears

04:31:58Davide-NYCaccording to that auction the jack in question is in fact called TOSLINK and the one on the H1x0 is called "mini-TOSLINK"
04:32:18Davide-NYCso I would need a mini-TOSLINK to mini-TOSLINK cable

04:35:36Davide-NYCI would lose that converter in a sec
04:35:52Davide-NYCthe 1m cables a safer buy fo rme
04:36:23*jhMikeS would just tape it to the cable real tight
04:37:27Paul_The_NerdI bought some cheap cables, and they've got converters like that tethered to the ends, so it can be TOSLINK->TOSLINK, Mini->toslink or Mini->Mini at my whim
04:38:09jhMikeShmmm...sounds nice...I need two to test feed through from the DVD player to the stereo.

04:43:54webguest37hello
04:44:23webguest37I am wondering if anyone knows if Rockbox will work on The Archos 404?
04:45:09scorcheit wont
04:45:43webguest37do you know of anything that might work better or i rockbox is going to suppout the archos 404
04:46:35scorchethe 404 is the new one correct?
04:46:43webguest37Ya
04:46:50scorchethen i dont know of anything yet
04:46:51webguest37the Ne Gen 4
04:47:03webguest37i got it hooked up for 108
04:47:06scorchebut i doubt rockbox will ever come to it
04:47:58webguest37do you know where i mint find plugins for it as i dn't want to pay 20 bux per plugin to play what i want it to play
04:48:26scorchei dont know
04:48:31scorchethis isnt #archos ;)
04:50:04webguest37just out of curiosity why don't you think rockbox will not come to the new line of archos
04:50:57scorchebecause rockbox (now at least) is meant for mainly audio
04:51:14scorcheit would be quite a waste to put rockbox on that device and waste the screen, etf
04:51:15scorchec
04:51:39scorcherockbox is more for DAPs not DMPs
04:52:09webguest37but from what i read it has ogg support and some others
04:52:17scorcheit does
04:52:30scorchewell, i would never get that device for audio playing
04:52:39scorcheand i am not sure who would
04:52:51*scorche shrugs
04:54:47scorcheof course, if someone were to come along who had the capibility to port it and have the device, im sure we wouldnt shoo him away =)
04:54:49webguest37Well see it's not so much i want it for auido i wanted it for video and a bit of auido the problom is it does not support out of the box AAC auido witch alot of my mvoes have
04:55:32Paul_The_NerdOne would think that if your movies were legal, you could encode them with a compatible audio format...
04:55:55webguest37i download them from Usenet
04:56:13webguest37and i havent found a encoder i like have any suggestions>?
04:56:15luckzsee above.
04:56:36Paul_The_NerdMy suggestions are to find another channel, as that's pretty much unrelated to Rockbox, which is primarily and almost entirely audio playback related.
04:57:21webguest37Im just asking some fellow ppl their opinion if you don't want to answer then fucking don't

05:02:03webguest37What would you two recomend?
05:02:14Paul_The_NerdI'll ignore the fact that it's not actually a question, and suggest dBPowerAmp.

05:03:21thegeekI'd think virtualdub could do that
05:03:26thegeektranscode audio only

10:11:16pondlifeGreat, if you have time could you try applying http://www.rockbox.org/tracker/task/6241 to CVS and seeing if it still talks properly?
10:12:16pondlifeJust a bit of file/dir spelling, make sure it doesn't confuse the MAS and doesn't cut the clips short.

10:30:44pondlifeleftright has left, right?
10:30:55LinusNhmmm, the eq settings shouldn't be in the archos zip file...
10:31:07LinusNpondlife: booooooo
10:31:22pondlife;/ I thought it was good for am
10:32:19pondlifeHmm, in metadata.c , the code for AIFF is enabled for MASCODEC. That's not needed is it?
10:32:43pondlifeget_aiff_metadata() and the code that calls it
10:32:59pondlifeI've got a metadata.c update coming up; will change that too...
10:33:34LinusNgood
10:34:05pondlifeNoone was planning on added a MAS codec for AIFF? WAV first I suppose..
10:35:19LinusNi don't know if this is new, but sometimes the menu entries aren't spoken
10:35:27LinusN(fmrec)
10:36:00LinusNif i move fast in the menu, it skips some entries, which is ok, but it doesn't play the last one either
10:36:58pondlifeThat might be a new bug. It should definitely skip those as you move but play the last one
10:37:37pondlifeIs that with the patch? If so, does current CVS do that too?
10:37:46LinusNi'll try with cvs too
10:38:04pondlifeOK. And if that's still bugged, maybe yesterday's daily build....?
10:40:58LinusNi can make it happen on current cvs too, but it is a lot harder (only happened once)
10:41:08LinusNso the patch makes it worse
10:42:12pondlifeHmm, back with v2 in a mo..
10:45:24LinusNi really like how the fm recorder doesn't spin up the hdd when you turn it off
10:45:53LinusNi wish the iriver could do the same
10:46:53amiconnpondlife: metadata.c isn't used on archos
10:47:42pondlifeOK, so it shouldn't need #ifdefs for SWCODEC then...

11:30:25tucozso it is basically not possible to use it with rockbox?

11:30:41scorcheit causes issues when people do
11:30:41tucozstrange
11:30:46tucozaha
11:30:54scorcheon the last issue, i checked the manual to see if it was there, and it wasnt
11:30:56amiconnFirewire should work fopr transferring data as well, it's just that rockbox doesn't detect a firewire connection
11:31:09amiconn...so you have to reboot into diskmode manually
11:31:29scorcheamiconn: there was something about the last guy that said he could only transfer 1 gig and nothign past that
11:31:31scorcheit was a bit odd

11:32:21scorcheamong other threads as well
11:32:40scorchebut i guess that thread is just diskmode

11:33:33amiconn(provided mini G2 supports firewire)
11:35:03tucozis it both usb _and_ firewire in the ipods?

12:01:53pondlifeWhen in menus, could Play exit rather than select?

12:12:02PaulJam_it has a patch integrated that changes the behaviour of play in the menus
12:12:13TeknomancerPaulJam_ i see, yeah then that explains it
12:12:18pondlifePaulJam_: 2 questions then!
12:12:35pondlife1) Do you think that this particular use of play should be changed in CVS?
12:12:48pondlife2) Do you still have the white noise problem with recent builds?
12:12:55*Teknomancer goes back to coding in zeta
12:14:01PaulJam_1: what wold the play button do if playback is stopped?
12:14:57pondlifeSame as in the browser? Nothing, or resume last playback.
12:16:18pondlifeI know the arguments about that horrible "left at root goes to WPS" patch, and don't want to subvert anything but this just seems wrong

13:24:35pondlifeI'd think of tagcache as more core than the settings . That's my opinion.
13:24:41aliaskBigMac: They should, but not the iPod control ones
13:25:28pondlifeIt needn't be any slower unless you've been using another plugin.
13:25:36scorchewell, either way, with HAVE_TAGCACHE not defined for FMrecorder, we have rombox.ucl at 216 KB
13:26:11scorcheso even if it is a temp solution, it will give us some room as well
13:26:38pondlifeGreat. I can boot quickly but not use tagcache. Also that room will probably be wasted now the pressure for optimisation is off a bit.
13:26:59pondlife:( pessimist
13:27:35scorchepondlife: well, like i said...you dont have to use it

13:32:28pondlifeThanks.
13:32:44LinusNmy opinion regarding rombox is that rockbox will always gain features and will always grow
13:32:56LinusNso we will eventually hit the roof again
13:33:21LinusNyou can only optimize the code so much
13:33:54LinusNand as far as i can see, the size optimizations aren't happening
13:34:09pondlifeI agree with that, but think there is room for core shrinking. We just need to decide what is core and what can be put in a plug-in.
13:34:41LinusNi'm firmly against moving code to plugins
13:34:48pondlifeNot even the settings?
13:34:54LinusNespecially not the settings
13:36:03pondlifeI'm biased I guess. I have CFG files set up, so rarely use the settings menus.
13:36:42pondlifeIt just seems like an seperate application to me. A CFG editor if you will
13:37:40pondlifeObviously I'm not talking about context menus, recording etc..
13:37:47LinusNi would guess that the major part of the settings is not the menu code
13:38:10LinusNbut the code for loading and storing
13:39:10pondlifeThe loading code is the nub here.
13:39:27pondlifeEspecially as we're moving to text storage.
13:39:39pondlifeOr so it seems
13:40:01*pondlife would have a binary image of the settings and just load by reading it.
13:40:12pondlifeSound familiar?
13:40:32LinusN"The word nub is not in the dictionary!"
13:40:43pondlifeI know, but I like it.
13:41:42LinusNbut what does it mean?
13:42:04pondlifeThe main question?
13:42:14LinusNnub
13:42:48***Saving seen data "./dancer.seen"
13:42:56pondlifeI imagine a plugin that deals with the settings and storage to/from CFG files. But the initial settings load would not want to use that.
13:43:10Genre9mp3Hmmm... about the 24bit FLAC commit for the Coldfire targets...
13:43:16LinusNpondlife: exactly
13:43:16Genre9mp3wasn't the UDA incapable of decoding 20+ bit audio?
13:43:40LinusNGenre9mp3: it's incapable of playing and recording 20-bit audio
13:44:00pondlifeSo keep the current settings in binary form for quick startup and minimal memory use.
13:44:14LinusNpondlife: how KISS is that?
13:44:19pondlifeVery
13:44:41Genre9mp3LinusN: So the 24bit FLAC commit is only for the X5? (don't know what DAC the X5 has)
13:44:42LinusNhow? you suddenly have two file formats for settings
13:44:51pondlifeNo
13:45:02LinusNGenre9mp3: the 24-bit audio is scaled to 16 bits
13:45:05pondlifeWell, no more than we have now.

13:46:04Genre9mp3LinusN: Thanx for the clarification
13:46:13pondlifeVery similar to what we have now, but the CFG handling is out of the core.

13:47:11LinusNand the code is in the core
13:47:59pondlifeWell, the user would still open the settings menu to edit their config (although there may be a spin-up if the plugin isn't loaded).
13:48:16pondlifeApplication code being in the core is not necessarily a good thing
13:48:19LinusNi'm mostly talking about code complexity
13:48:35LinusNpondlife: the application is the core
13:49:11pondlifeI think it simplifies things as the settings code is partitioned off. All the core has to do is read (or re-read) a binary block.

13:52:36preglowmoving menus to plugins???
13:52:36pondlifeWe can automate the upgrade process easily though. Just store the name of the last used CFG file in the binary block. Then re-parse it if the version changes.

14:07:16My_Sicsorry
14:07:26My_Sici haven't my "cable"
14:07:30Slasheriit's probably just a syntax error in the file
14:07:31My_Sicto connect my ipod to the pc
14:07:34Slasherior something like that
14:07:36preglowpondlife: i get quite an amount of lockups
14:07:54My_Sicno beacause it's worrking with an old version (some days ago)
14:08:08My_Sicif i downgrade it's working
14:08:08Slasheriwell, the syntax has been changed a little
14:08:15My_Sicif i upgrad it's donc working
14:08:19My_Sicok
14:08:21pondlifepreglow: Hmm, anything you suspect? Random hangs, I suppose...
14:08:24My_Sicso it could be this
14:08:35My_Sicwhat the change in the syntax ?
14:08:52Slasherinot sure before i see the original file you have
14:08:55preglowpondlife: randomish, i've got a couple of locks when accesing directories and the like, a couple of pdir1full when entering audio debug

14:17:31Athens1Maybe I will delete my plugins before installing the next build so I can make sure that the new build is actually copied. Thanks for the input.
14:17:41pondlifeOK. I'll turn off auto-change dir

14:40:04FuZZybut that came up with no commands stuff so i deleted it and i just realised i forgot to put the copy back but now its running normally
14:40:16linuxstbI expect it converted it to a DOS text file - which probably broke it.
14:40:30FuZZynow when i type echo path i get nothing
14:40:37FuZZyo ok
14:40:45linuxstbDid you keep a backup copy?
14:40:50FuZZyyah
14:40:55FuZZyits back to normal now
14:41:19FuZZybut still got the problem of arm error thingy
14:41:49FuZZyi've gor rockbox under rockbox-devel that shouldnt make a diff should it?
14:42:48linuxstbYou still need to edit /etc/profile, just not with Wordpad.
14:43:41LinusNthe odd thing is that the install scripts should have edited /etc/profile and added the path
14:43:54linuxstbOr you can edit with wordpad, but then need to convert it to a Unix text file from within cygwin.
14:44:13FuZZyhow do i do that?
14:44:27blue_lizardor you could use gvim on windows
14:44:27FuZZyor can i just use notbad and ignoe the symbols cause i dont need to see lines
14:44:33amiconnBagder: I have a question regarding Makefiles.
14:44:42blue_lizardand convert filetype by using :set ff=unix
14:44:47LinusNor is it perhaps wordpad that saves it as /etc/profile.txt ?
14:45:07linuxstbHopefully not even wordpad would change the filename...
14:45:07amiconnIiuc, it is necessary to 'export' a variable in order to make it available in sub-makefiles
14:45:14FuZZyyah it did i changed it
14:45:16FuZZystill didnt work
14:45:34amiconnHowever, I wonder how this works for $(SILENT), as that doesn't use export in the toplevel Makefile...
14:45:54LinusNFuZZy: ls /opt/arm/bin
14:46:12Bagderamiconn: SILENT is set by tools/make.inc
14:46:19Bagderwhich is included
14:46:51FuZZyi get a lot of arm-elf files
14:46:55LinusNgood
14:47:05amiconnOh? The toplevel makefile also set $(SILENT) ...
14:47:20Bagderyeah, it gets set on several places
14:47:27*amiconn needs to know where to put the info function
14:48:06amiconnDo we want the info texts (like "LD solitaire.rock") to appear even in verbose mode?
14:48:45Bagderamiconn: it could possibly make it easier for people to know what's actually done when "LD..." etc is mentioned

14:51:15FuZZyso how do i change crlf to lf?
14:51:58blue_lizardbest is to use an editor that can do it himself
14:52:08blue_lizardjedit, gvim and such
14:52:10linuxstbFuZZy: Something like: "tr -d '\015' < /etc/profile > a" followed by "mv a /etc/profile"
14:53:24linuxstbBut as blue_lizard said, if you're planning on doing anything with Rockbox, you'll need a better editor - one that preserves the line-endings.

15:53:40lowlightlostlogic: I put in a check for queue_empty(&codec_callback_queue) in codec_load_next_track() and it's coming back false
15:54:17*JdGordon returns... 3 hours after being pinged :p
15:54:50lowlightthe queue still has Q_CODEC_REQUEST_FAILED in it
15:55:06 Part tiax ("leaving")
15:55:30lostlogicah, so something is returning before it should, leaving the queue in a Bad State (TM)
15:55:37pondlifeHmm. is there a logf around which includes the logf queueing info?
15:55:54JdGordon[21:30] <pondlife> JdGordon: Any idea how far from commit the settings patch is, btw? <- after exams ill get back into it (so about 2.5 weeks)
15:55:56lostlogicbecause all of those callbacks between codec and audio thread should be lock-stepped by the queue system.
15:56:18pondlifeJdGordon: Sorry, didn't mean to pester. I think I know now...
15:56:28JdGordonno problem :)
15:57:08lowlightpondlife: I still can't reproduce the stopping bug with logf enabled.
15:57:44pondlifeAh, so this queuing thing is not related to that? I assume you had logging to find that out.
15:58:41lowlightI've put in selective debugf's
15:59:38pondlifeOK, so we know that the stop occurs when the queuing issue occurs?
15:59:53pondlifeThis is with VBR MP3s?
15:59:59pondlifeSo many questions....
16:00
16:00:27lowlightThis is the "play a directory, let it stop, then play another directory and playback stops after the first track" bug
16:01:41pondlifeDo we know which request failed? I assume that the "normal" end of playback is leaving that in the queue.
16:01:44lowlightseems like something going wrong in the codec_callback_queue when the first directory stops because there's still a request_failed in the queue when it gets to the check_new_track.

16:21:27JdGordonapps/tagdb/ is really a seperate app and not part of rb right?
16:21:41pondlifeI thought it was obsolete now
16:21:53My_Sicthanks
16:21:54Bagderit is
16:22:11JdGordonso, do i need to undo my last commit on those files?
16:22:23Bagderwe should remove that dir and its contents
16:23:47JdGordondoes that should mean it will be done?
16:24:07pondlifeWho knows about recording, apart from jhMikeS, petur and mmmm ?
16:24:37JdGordonto remove the dir remove it locally then do cvs remove apps/tagdb then commit right?

16:31:01SlasheriMy_Sic: but at least you should rename your menu to "custom" or anything other than main
16:31:08pondlifepreglow: Do you know why recording.c disables voice menus?
16:31:16Slasherior it will overlap with the "main" menu in tagnavi.config
16:31:36pondlifeI have commented out that line and all seems to work ok with no unwanted speech...
16:31:41preglowpondlife: might be because you can't play voice and record at the same time on archos
16:31:54preglowpondlife: doesn't explain why it does so on swcodec, of course...
16:32:02pondlifeVoice has already been turned off.
16:32:10pondlifeThis is just a mod to global_settings.
16:32:18My_SicSlasheri: if i rename to custom, i will have the official menu, with an option custom
16:32:36pondlifeMaybe this is an old fix. The comment reads /* recording_menu gets messed up: so reset talk_menu */
16:32:41My_Sicit's allow to have your own root menu
16:33:06SlasheriMy_Sic: you can say %root_menu "custom"
16:33:09Slasherithat should do it

16:46:31AinulindaleBecause I just installed and choked on "5h left".

16:46:52AinulindaleOh :-)
16:47:18Bagderand the estimation is not calibrated properly, so don't believe it

16:54:02Bagderhere's a fun thread: http://iaudiophile.net/forums/showthread.php?t=11532
16:54:11pondlifelowlight: audio_track_count() is meant to be the number of buffered or part-buffered tracks, I think. I'd like to remove it though, as part-buffered seems a bit useless
16:54:50pondlifeIt's the number displayed on the audio thread debug screen.
16:55:46pondlifeDo you think it might be safe to remove the block in audio_check_new_track() that uses it?
16:56:22pondlifeI would think the memory buffer check should catch that case anyway.
16:56:56pondlifeBut I probably don't understand the full implications of the comment: /* If it is not safe to even skip this many track entries */
16:57:09lowlightpondlife: something seems wrong...when i print that track_count at the beginning of audio_check_new_track(), it says track_count=2 when playback stops at the end of my first directory.
16:57:32pondlifeThis is "normal"
16:57:39lowlightoh?
16:57:51pondlifeAs in, it happens here, every time I think.

17:00:37lowlightyeah...I see the calculation...track_widx is valid even if there's no track there
17:00:47pondlifeI'm not sure why we zero the track and buffer indices, I would think they could be zeroed in audio_preinit, then allowed to run free and wrap naturally.

20:05:39amiconnoh?
20:05:46preglowamiconn: it seems there are several versions, you see
20:05:55amiconnWhich ports do have that feature?
20:06:04preglowamiconn: if you increment the port address so and so, you get the same port, but with an additional bitmask over the value
20:06:10preglowamiconn: don't remember :/
20:06:19amiconnugh
20:06:25amiconnSounds complicated :/
20:06:43preglowamiconn: i'll see if i can find the code in question, i don't remember where i saw it
20:10:37preglowamiconn: but that h10 code just flips bits the ordinary way, no?
20:11:28amiconnYes it does, but I wonder why that works
20:11:37preglowwhy shouldn't it?
20:11:53amiconnBits 8..15 aren't set that way, so they might be all masked out from changing
20:12:18preglowgpio ports are 8 bit, afaik
20:12:42amiconnYes, but the mask is transferred in bits 8..15 iirc
20:12:54preglowyes, but not in those addresses, i think
20:13:07amiconnSO what do those bits contain when doing an |= or &=
20:13:17preglowzeroes, i'd guess
20:14:08preglowanyway, i think there are at least two versions of those ports, one where you do a regular 8 bit read/write, and one where the write is selectively done based on the mask in bits 8-15
20:14:17preglowbut i can't bloody find the code that made me think so
20:14:28preglowit makes sense anyway, this allows atomic port operations

21:02:41amiconnbecause it has to
21:04:25amiconnFor the menus it might not be that important, but the voice playback itself needs to be coordinated with the rest of the audio playback
21:04:59goffaah.. so in order for voice to function.. it has to be included... but for the player to function voice doesn't need to be included?

21:49:52preglowshouldn't the "deleted xxxxxxxx" screen saying "deleting xxxxxx" ?
21:50:08preglowit's really annoying when deleting big directories, it seems like rockbox has hanged
21:50:09Paul_the_NerdYes
21:50:17Paul_the_NerdIt really should say deleting
21:50:37tucozi had forgot about that, but that should be fixed
21:51:07preglowanyone keen on doing so? i'm allergic to lang files
21:52:08amiconnThe delete screen should show progress of some sort
21:52:32amiconnWe don't know the file/dir count in advance, but it could show the raw count as it goes

21:55:39preglowyeah, i was wondering about that
21:57:18preglowprogress really isn't so important, but a way of showing that rockbox is alive is truly needed
21:57:27preglowthe same problem applies to copy/pasting big directories
21:57:29preglowwhere it's even slower
21:57:48preglowi think there's even a patch in the tracker that adds messages to those operations, as those currently don't display anything
21:57:52preglowwhich is very bad

22:02:44amiconnah
22:03:29preglowamiconn: remove_dir is a very short function, so some of the basic file/dir io operations in rockbox have to be very slow

22:28:47webguest50well I dont really use crossfeed, but do use Replay Gain and Eq constantly
22:28:59webguest50err thats crossfade
22:29:17preglowjlo actually wanted to make the crossfeed a bit fancier than it is, but i had to nerf it a bit to make it work fast enough on stuff like ipods

22:38:27preglowdepends on the platform
22:38:33preglowno, not really
22:38:50preglowthey are just used one place, i think, so inlining might be a small net gain
22:39:06preglowno, they're not...
22:39:19preglowlet's just keep them where they are
22:39:39Learpreglow: just moving the dither structs to iram made a big difference.
22:40:11barrywardellpreglow: feel free to change them if you want if you feel it will make a difference
22:40:19preglowLear: all dsp should be coded in asm anyway

22:41:01preglowi've got some dsp.c restructuring coming up one of these days
22:41:32Learyou've been talking about that for a while... :)
22:41:46preglowyeah, but i haven't had time for any rockboxing for a long while now
22:42:16preglowouch, dither_sample is called per sample

22:54:04preglowbarrywardell: if bits 8-15 are non-zero, they decide which of the eight lower bits actually get written
22:54:44preglowbarrywardell: so if you write 0x101 to a gpio reg, the lowest bit of the reg gets set

22:57:15barrywardellwhat do you mean by that?
