#rockbox log for 2006-11-03

00:00:11rasherAh
00:01:08 Join daurn|laptop [0] (n=quae@124.243.137.107)
00:01:18Bagderrasher: I think I'm in favour of that patch
00:01:45Nimdaehmmm...
00:01:52Bagderwe need to make it easier for people to make voices
00:02:06preglowhow hard is it currently?
00:02:10rasherSounds good. Ideally it'd be using the regular path in the configure script and generate a Makefile at the same point, but I'm not sure how to add the needed stuff to the regular Makefile
00:03:02Bagderrasher: well, it could possibly just add a voice target unconditonally, and have that call the voice script that would do most magic
00:04:27Bagderbut now I'll go sleep
00:04:30rasher(that would enable language setting for one thing)
00:04:34rasherI'll give that a shot
00:05:30rasherpreglow: On windows you run a .vbs file and pray. On Linux you write your own script.
00:05:35rasherat least, that's how it is now
00:05:54Nimdaewell, i thought maybe the image was going out of range by a pixel so i shifted it left one pixel, still no show :(
00:06:07rasherMy patch adds it as a configure option along with manual and simulator (on Linux anyway)
00:08:31Nimdaei should probably build the uisimulator
00:08:57rasherSomehow I forgot that you cannot chose language in the configure script anymore, although that was removed ages ago.
00:09:06rasherNimdae: linux or windows?
00:09:26Nimdaei have both available to me ;)
00:09:37Nimdaebut doing my theming on linu
00:09:39Nimdaelinux
00:09:44rasherAh, then you probably won't need a prebuilt simulator.
00:13:00preglowhow hard would it be to write some gui .exe that does it? refuse to think it'd be very hard

00:13:47rasherVoice building? Probably not very
00:14:34rasherI guess having it as part of the build environment is not very useful for most users
00:17:34 Part tim66
00:17:42rasherBut would improve the chances of automatically built voicefiles

00:25:02preglowwhy a vbscript script anyway?
00:25:06preglowjust what happens to exist?
00:25:20markunrasher: and with lang v2 there can be different voice files for different targets
00:25:56rasherpreglow: yeah, just coincidence I think
00:26:59rashermarkun: Yeah, I
00:27:22rasherI'm adding the language question back into configure now, and using the general makefile
00:27:34rasherSo you'll just go ../tools/configure; make voice

00:43:52rasherOr that.
00:44:16webguest84thanks
00:45:00rasherI don't see uninstallation in the FAQ, actually
00:45:48webguest84yeah neither do i
00:46:12rasherAre you using an ipod Video, because I just picked a random Ipod
00:46:33webguest84yep
00:47:12Nimdaeok, got me a uisimulator now, got the same problem, so it looks like it's accurate between ipod and sim
00:47:16Nimdaenow to fix it :)
00:47:36Nimdaekinda cool that works like the ipod, including with sound
00:47:51rasherOnly thing missing is volume
00:47:58Nimdaeerm
00:48:06Nimdaewell, i guess i just need it to display
00:48:14Nimdaeonce ig et that far, i can try on ipod again
00:48:21rasherYou can change volume, but it doesn't affect the sound
00:48:23webguest84right, i don't want to uninstall it i just want to start the apple firmware
00:48:28webguest84but it's not working

00:48:50webguest84and then i held menu
00:48:54Nimdaethis image is 64 pixels wide
00:48:59webguest84but rockbox is still loading
00:49:19rasherwebguest84: Ah, there's a trick to the timing of that, someone with an Ipod should be able to explain.
00:49:36Nimdaewebguest84: as soon as you see the apple logo, with no light, press and hold that menu button...sometimes i have trouble with timing it
00:49:53oboholding menu right from the start is enough.... ie hold to turn on, and keep holding
00:50:03obobut you need to keep you finger still
00:50:10Nimdaei've run into odd issues doing that
00:50:19Nimdaelemme try it real quick
00:50:30Nimdaeyeah, works

00:51:20rasherThat's because it's not a regular plugin, but a viewer. You simply "play" a .rb file to play that rom.
00:51:28webguest84oh ok
00:51:43StarrrQuick noobish question −− is Rockbox getting developed for iPod nano second gen?

00:58:38Nimdaelet me check the image next to it
01:00
01:00:03webguest04Nimdar: does your wps use lots of graphics? there is limited memory to store the bitmaps (i think 2x screensize). does the image show when you use only %xdz ?
01:01:18Nimdaei'm thinking i'm hitting a size limit
01:01:37Nimdaei moved the images to a totally different location so it's not a range issue
01:01:42Nimdaei'm gonna try trimming up the images
01:02:43Nimdaehmmm...
01:03:28Nimdaefound an image i'm loading but not using that's not exactly small, heh
01:04:09Nimdaehad a stop image...there's no stop on the ipod
01:05:21webguest04the conditional for stop is shown on no target.

01:17:40Nimdaeplay music
01:17:51coldsteal...
01:17:54Paul_the_Nerdcoldsteal: Read the WhyRockbox page at rockbox.org
01:18:00coldstealwill it work with linux?
01:18:30Paul_the_NerdThat question doesn't really make sense...
01:18:36rasherAll current rockbox players are just USB Mass Storage devices
01:18:47hcsit'll work with anything with fat32 support...
01:19:00rasher(except one of the old Archos Jukeboxes which is Almost, But Not Quite UMS)
01:19:01hcs(as USB Mass Storage, of course)
01:19:38coldstealwell im asking how is the updaiting done
01:19:44rasherJust unzip a file
01:19:46*Nimdae installs his theme on his ipod to test
01:19:59rasherOn the drive. That's it
01:20:19coldstealokay well i have an ipod and right now im using it with amoroock

01:20:36rasherOh, you meant "updating" as in copying files to and from?

01:20:57Nimdaelike copying files to any other usb drive
01:20:57rasherCopy it to the drive's harddisk

01:22:13coldstealso all i do is get the ziped file and extract it into thhe ipod
01:22:25coldstealwill it dule boot?
01:22:37rasherNot quite, the first install is a bit more involved. It's all described in the manual.
01:22:44rasherYes, it'll dual boot just fine

01:23:18Nimdaesweet, my whole theme works now
01:23:35rasherNimdae: what was the problem? Size limit?
01:23:59Nimdaeyeah
01:24:22Nimdaethere was a change i had planned making later to reduce the size, didn't think the bloat would affect it like this
01:24:39Nimdaething is, it doesn't look really graphic intense
01:24:45Nimdaeit just happens to be so, i guess
01:25:09Nimdaeis there a way to make a screenshot on the ipod?
01:25:12Nimdaeor rather rockbox
01:25:53coldstealdo i need to wipe my ipod b4 i do this/
01:26:03webguest04turn on screendump in teh debug menu and insert the usb cable to amke a screenshot

01:26:29roolkuslasheri / pondlife: a recent change seems to have buggered (technical term) the runtime data display in the wps. It seems to be an issue with track_buffer_callback - it gets set correctly in tagtree_init, but when I check the value just before its execution it is somehow reset to 0 (and is not called as a result)

02:43:44hcsAdamKili: Iit has nothing to do with MAME, it specifically emulates the Pacman arcade hardware. Possibly other games using the same hardware could be made to work.

02:45:09AdamKiliand does anyone have firsthand experience getting a different game to work?
02:45:26hcsI don't think there are any compatible at the moment, it'd require modification to the pacbox.
02:48:15AdamKilithen why don't they work on modify it? then we could have access to a large MAME library of games. I'd help or do it myself if i knew how to do programming
02:48:43hcsIt probably wouldn't be very many games.
02:49:07Paul_the_NerdIt might be expandable to say, Ms. Pacman.

02:50:52Paul_the_NerdMAME also emulates the pacman hardware, which is why it uses the same ROM files.
02:51:26JdGordonaliask: howd methods go?
02:51:30Paul_the_NerdStarrr: Google would serve you better. In general, there just aren't really many/any depending on what hardware you're talking about.

02:51:48JdGordonwell done

02:53:01Nimdaeso yeah, any suggestions on how to improve my wps?

03:22:32Soap.wad was a generic extension by ID. It was nothing more than a renamed .zip with resources, so many things other than doom used WADs.

06:47:30midkaysomething that just kinda hit me that i'm near-certain we don't implement (i'd be very "wtf?" if we did) but i expect has been suggested before - whenever the user initiates a spinup and audio is playing, check the buffer level, and if it's under like 20% full then totally refill it so you don't have to spin-up again just a moment after the disk stops..
06:48:23JdGordonhaha, thats ingenious :D do we really not do that?
06:48:32midkaydoesn't sound too hard to do from a coding standpoint (though i couldn't, i don't know enough about playback) - a simple check, then either top off the buffer or don't..
06:48:46midkayi can pretty safely say that we don't, i've heard of/experienced/noticed it.
06:48:49JdGordonalthough it should be <70% or something
06:48:51midkay+never
06:49:44Paul_the_NerdWhy not just, if the spinup was not called explicitly for the purpose of rebuffering, fill up the buffer immediately before a spindown happens.
06:50:07midkaythat's a good way to look at it, i thought after JdGordon said that - even if it's like 90% it'll only take half a second to refill..
06:50:07Paul_the_NerdReally, at 90%, a rebuffer will take so little time anyway, it's still not gonna be a bad thing, right?
06:50:36JdGordonyou have to be careful tho, it is possible, without good sanity checks, that refilling could never stop
06:50:51midkaybut that also means you'll clear it of the last played song or segment of the current song, so it's not so good for skippers.. maybe if an entire previous song is in the buffer, clear it and top that off (e.g. only clear completed songs) so you can still rewind in the current one and restart it or something.
06:51:33JdGordoni tihnk playback is pondlife or preglows domain...
06:52:32midkaymight be worth asking about/discussing, sounds nice (i was thinking about our delayed write system and suddenly wondered why i haven't ever thought of or heard about having the buffer refill itself on a disk spinup).

09:07:23midkaywell as i said it'd pose a problem for clearing already played buffer - you couldn't then rewind in the current track. i personally think that a nice medium would be to clear out all the already-played tracks and rebuffer that space (leave all of the current track buffered) - but then again with longer files it's a different story..
09:07:43midkayit needs some thinking out, but yeah - basically refilling at least sometimes on manual disk spinups (at least when buffer is low or something).

09:10:58midkayan option might be a good idea.. if you aren't a rewinder/skipper, always purging everything that's already been played as an option would be good.. also one that keeps the current track data but nothing older.. and maybe one more that only refills when the buffer is like 50 or 75% empty.

09:41:59Paul_the_Nerdrasher: This is true.
09:42:08LinusNthose who do should use it imho
09:42:23Paul_the_NerdHow many recording targets that don't have a recording button, have that F3 button (or equivalent) the Recorder has?
09:42:29bluebrotherit could also get used as a generic quick button. But maybe that's option bloat.
09:42:39rasherYeah, it's an unfortunate consequence of gradual development
09:42:49LinusNi'm in favour of using hold+repeat to get to the recording screen
09:42:55LinusNrec+repeat
09:43:15*bluebrother agrees
09:43:18peturbluebrother: the moment you enter recording screen, prerecording starts, maybe you'd like to change some settings before it does that?
09:43:44bluebrothermaybe, but if you change settings mustn't the prerecording start again?
09:43:49LinusNunfortunately, rec+repeat is the quick menu on x5 :-(
09:44:32Paul_the_NerdLinusN: My suggestion was that Long-Record (Rec+Repeat) go to the recording screen from WPS and Filetree. In Filetree, Rec on its own is Queue Next (or just Queue), Play+Record is insert. In WPS, Rec shows current playlist, and maybe Rec+Play is playlist catalog (or some other function, that last combo leaves me baffled)
09:44:33bluebrotherI don't see any problem there. Also, the recording settings could get their own submenu e.g. below the general settings.
09:44:36peturbluebrother: for encoder settings I think it does, for all other settings it keeps on buffering
09:44:47Paul_the_NerdLinusN: But then someone pointed out that the X5 uses Rec for useful stuff already
09:44:57 Quit bawb2 (Remote closed the connection)
09:45:01rasherPaul_the_Nerd: too bad for the x5 I say
09:45:06Bagderyeah, the x5 has a shortage of useful buttons
09:45:13rasherbutton assignments don't have to be the same
09:45:14bluebrotherhmm. But I don't see any reason why not to start prerecording over when settings change.
09:45:18Paul_the_NerdBut I think it'd overall cover *most* of what people want from the button on iRiver
09:45:29LinusNPaul_the_Nerd: it's funny how the manufacturer labels the buttons, and then afterwards find out that they have too few of them
09:45:40peturbluebrother: not for all settings changes *please*
09:45:49Paul_the_NerdI'm not a fan of that second quickmenu the soft button on Recorder gets to, the screen related one.
09:46:07bluebrotherhehe ... I won't do that, I'm only suggesting.

09:47:11dan_a_I've thought in the past that maybe rec+repeat for the recording screen, play+repeat for the WPS and menu+repeat for the main menu might be logical
09:47:31bluebrotherwhat does rec on the x5? Main menu?
09:47:44LinusNyes
09:47:57peturbluebrother: I was just thinking of this: you want to record line-in but source is still set to mic. If you start to record too soon you'll have a part of mic included in your recording...
09:48:27bluebrothersure, but when you restart prerecording this shouldn't happen.
09:48:37peturso only restart prerec for source change and format change
09:48:41GnelikBagder: Where can i read about changing keymaps
09:48:56bluebrotherand I guess you'll start recording only when you set things right.
09:49:05bluebrotheror am I wrong with that assumption?
09:49:15BagderGnelik: I'm not sure there's much else than source code to read
09:49:37peturbluebrother: yes
09:49:43bluebrotherbut if the recording settings are below general settings this problem also shouldn't arise.
09:50:04bluebrothercurrently it's the same issue if you access the recording settings from the recording menu.
09:50:48bluebrotherpetur, yes to my assumption being wrong?
09:50:54peturbluebrother: would you dupleicate the settings menu then?
09:50:57GnelikBagder: than what is "Prereq button code" my english is not very good
09:51:34petur[09:48] <bluebrother> and I guess you'll start recording only when you set things right. <−− yes
09:52:01bluebrotherduplicate? no.
09:52:31peturwould you remove recording settings from recording screen then?
09:52:36bluebrotherIt's the same as now, you can access the recording settings from the recording screen and from some menu. I only would put that menu somewhere else
09:52:37dan_a_Gnelik: prereq is short for prerequesite - the button that must be pressed before
09:53:07bluebrotheradd a "Recording Settings" entry to the main menu, or put it below the "General Setting"

10:15:05BagderGnelik: build a simulator and see

10:16:24BagderGnelik: and how are the keys working?
10:16:53GnelikBagder: bad
10:17:05LinusNpondlife: probably because holding OFF generates a stream of button events

10:18:14Gnelikok,
10:18:19pondlifeHmm, but how to solve...?
10:18:32pondlifeAnyway, time for work.
10:18:54LinusNpondlife: i can imagine one simple fix: only send the backlight_on event if the backlight is off
10:19:45pondlifeCould that not risk a backlight on being missed?
10:19:57LinusNbut that opens up a can of worms with races
10:19:59pondlifeI assume the queue reader is quite low priority here.

10:27:12LinusNroolku: ok
10:27:39roolkupondlife: slasheri / pondlife: a recent change seems to have buggered (technical term) the runtime data display in the wps. It seems to be an issue with track_buffer_callback - it gets set correctly in tagtree_init, but when I check the value just before its execution it is somehow reset to 0 (and is not called as a result)
10:27:49GnelikPaul_the_Nerd:second.

10:39:27pondlifeIs it the track_buffer or _unbuffer that is at fault?
10:39:54pondlifelostlogic redid the buffering a short while ago, that is most likely when it changed...
10:39:58roolkupondlife: (wps tag %rp for example)
10:40:28pondlifeIs this data from tagcache runtime stats?
10:40:40roolkupondlife: if printing the address of the call back function immideatly after it is set it is correct
10:41:20roolkupondlife: but when checking it just before it is supposed to be called it is reset to NULL (and obviously doesn't execute)
10:41:54roolkupondlife: looks like a buffer overflow or something overwriting the value with 0

11:34:13pondlifeOK - that's another 3.0 bug fixed!
11:34:16jhMikeSpondlife: one thing that floods the backlight queue is the Caption Backlight option being on. but I think for that the most recent state requested should be the one used and those message should never be queued at all. Just something I thought about some time ago but never tried out.
11:34:54pondlifeJust scrolling flooded the backlight queue, or shutting down.
11:35:25pondlifeTesting the end condition before queuing could introduce a race, so best not IMHO.

11:43:02Slasheriamiconn: yes, but in fact that's not so bad anymore because now there is also a (hidden) flag when track number has been guessed
11:43:31Slasheriin future it should be possible to detect that flag in tagnavi configuration and ignore guessed track numbers if user likes it that way
11:43:49linuxstb__Is the generation of tagcache now robust? i.e. are we still getting reports of failures to initialise?
11:43:54 Nick linuxstb__ is now known as linuxstb (n=linuxstb@i-83-67-212-170.freedom2surf.net)
11:44:19amiconnThe guessed track number is always wrong here
11:44:19Slasherilinuxstb: currently there is no that kind of bugs i would know about of
11:44:52amiconnThe only tracks where it guesses are those which _deliberately_ have no track number, and then it uses some random number (from artist or so)
11:47:52Slasherihmm, i wonder if that guessing causes more troble then than it's worth of
11:48:26*amiconn has lots of tracks listed as having a track number of 66
11:49:22Slasheriit would be easy to remove that guessing but i still wonder would it be better for user to be able to disable it (through a custom tagnavi configuration) or completely remove the guessing
11:49:39Paul_the_Nerdlinuxstb: There's still at least one active thread in the forum where someone is having it fail to initialize
11:49:55Paul_the_NerdSlasheri: http://forums.rockbox.org/index.php?topic=7217.msg56547;topicseen#msg56547 <−− But it may be a bad file.
11:50:23Paul_the_NerdI really *really* think that "Initialize" should not be a background function, but rather provide progress and maybe even some sort of failure report
11:50:53jhMikeSis it the sort of guessing where not even a human would have a reasonably high chance of being right?
11:51:02Paul_the_NerdI think the vast majority just set their player down and wait for initialize to finish anyway
11:51:39SlasheriPaul_the_Nerd: ah, that kind of reports/problems are hard to solve because there is no way to know what has really happened
11:52:02Paul_the_NerdSlasheri: Indeed.

11:54:12Slasheria syslog that could open a "pop-up" message or something like that when an error has occurred
11:55:02Slasherihmm, true. Maybe it could be an option so that when starting initialisation, it would start in a foreground. And pressing some button, would bring it to background

11:57:09SlasheriPaul_the_Nerd: at least that would be possible to implement with a reasonable effort
11:57:21roolkuSlasheri: I now know the problem, but not the solution (don't understand playback)
11:58:13roolkuSlasheri: audio_preinit is called *after* audio_set_track_buffer_event and overwrites the vector for the callback with NULL :(
11:58:13Slasheriroolku: yep, but i haven't got a time to investigate that yet.. I am running a somewhat older (a few days) build so I don't have that problem.. It might have something to do with pondlife's recent commits

13:35:15pondlifeHaven't put much thought into it, but if you test outside of the queue, then you are surely risking a race situation. That's assuming the queue is there for a good reason...
13:35:24jhMikeSoh, no. that wasn't where I was going with it. that would occur that way.
13:35:35pondlifeAh, I misunderstood then
13:36:11jhMikeSThe message would exist but only in its final state. It would be "dequeued" by the thread still. Just in a variable on the side that says it exists and what the final message was.

13:37:58amiconnImho the backlight could do with bool current_state; bool last_state and a last_update timestamp
13:38:11amiconnThen it wouldn't need a queue at all
13:38:12pondlifeYes, the whole thing needs simplifying.
13:38:26jhMikeSIt's get set in queue_post to the final state. It gets cleared in queue_wait and the correct on/off message returned. A three state variable.

13:38:51pondlifeWell, I'll leave that to the backlight experts.
13:38:51jhMikeSBut I'm not saying to modify the queue functions, just whatever the backlight would implement.

13:48:53the_dando i need to remove all my music from the iriver and reload it
13:49:08the_dan?
13:49:17Bagderno
13:49:35the_danawesome
13:49:56the_danand all i need to do is drag and drop the music, and rockbox reads tge ID3s?
13:50:12amiconnH20 ?
13:50:26the_danyeah
13:50:27markunBagder: for the gigabeat owners the answer to this question will be 'yes' :(

13:50:50Bagdermarkun: :-/
13:50:51the_dani was just on mistic river and they call it H20

13:54:33linuxstbmarkun: What will installing Rockbox on a Gigabeat involve? Is it just a matter of copying some files to the FAT partition?
13:55:00markunyes
13:56:19markunoverwrite the kernel file FWIMG01.DAT with our rockbox bootloader and unzip the rockbox zip.
13:57:17peturso there will be an extra file in the root?
13:57:31markunno, the extra file is in GBSYSTEM/FWIMG

13:57:51markunyes
13:58:03peturand if it gets deleted?
13:58:20markunthem you need to do a little surgery :)
13:58:35Bagderreally? no recovery mode?
13:58:57markunit enters recovery mode when you start the gigabeat with the hdd removed..
13:59:16Bagderoh, but how do you restore it without hdd?
13:59:21markunafter that you can connect the hdd while it's on and connect the USB cable.
13:59:26Bagderah
13:59:34Bagderpretty awkward
13:59:49markunBefore we had a 'rescue mode' in our bootloader that was how we had to develop..
14:00
14:00:22linuxstbDoes the disk show up as a UMS device?
14:00:32markunToshiba still is not sure if they want to give me the datasheet for the LCD driver IC
14:00:45markununtil then I don't think we will work on a bootloader to be flashed.
14:01:47markunWe can copy the LCD init code from the original firmware, but that would be copyright violation and I would rather know exactly what the commands do.

14:32:20markunNo, still not. I traced the problem down to somewhere in gui_list_draw

14:37:36linuxstbNot afaik. It's on my todo list (cleaning up the patch, mainly the ASF parsing side of things), but no time/motivation yet.
14:40:15markunlinuxstb, amiconn: what is your opinion on a seperate gigabeat branch?
14:42:23amiconnWhy a separate branch?
14:42:53markunbecause it would make development for us faster and we don't want to break the other targets all the time
14:43:02*amiconn doesn't see the point in branches. They just mean more work without benefit afaics
14:43:26markunWell, if you can convice us there is no benefit I will not ask about it anymore
14:43:56markunIt's just that we have a lot of tetscode and it's hard to keep it in sync with patches
14:44:31markunwhen rockbox is working a bit better we can all work on different parts and don't need to branch anymore
14:46:29 Join the_dan [0] (i=cb3b7570@gateway/web/cgi-irc/labb.contactor.se/session)
14:46:38amiconnThere is firmware/test/ for testcode
14:46:56linuxstbBut you'll still have the problem of merging the branch back into Rockbox eventually.
14:47:09markunyes, I know that
14:47:48amiconnWell, I never really worked with branchen, so maybe I don't get the whole purpose of them
14:48:06markunwhat would be the problem for the non gigabeat devs if we have this branch?
14:48:07 Quit pleXa ("Lost terminal")
14:48:32amiconnThe only case where branches make sense for me is when there is a defined release version which should still receive bugfixes but no new features
14:48:51linuxstbI guess the problem is that you are more than one person hacking away at the same "unofficial tree" - so you want to keep your local copies in sync with each other...
14:49:05amiconnEven then it means additional work
14:49:25markunlinuxstb: exactly
14:49:32the_danright so ive gotten rockbox onto my H10, but the tracks are 'skipping'. Ive swapped to a non default WPS and its still doing it
14:50:28Arathisthe_dan: a non default wps without peakmeter?
14:50:31linuxstbSo does CVS allow you to resync your branch to changes made in HEAD after the branch?
14:50:38amiconnDoesn't git allow to set up sub-repositories?
14:51:16the_danArathis: didnt know i had to take away the peek meter, can i just disable it in settings or does it need to be written out of the wps?
14:51:21amiconnNote that I never worked with git, but it was mentioned at devcon and I've read a bit about git afterwards
14:52:30Arathisthe_dan: it has to be written out of the wps
14:52:40Arathisbut that isn't difficult at all.
14:53:04the_danim guessing there are some without it on the rockbox forums?
14:53:40the_danah in the wiki

14:54:33DeefIs there any kind of nifty visualisation thing for Rockbox?
14:54:46DeefLike the things you sit and stare at in Winamp
14:54:58ArathisiCatcher is without and it's with rockbox by default, but in the forum (@misticriver) and at rockbox-themes.org and in the wps gallery in the rockbox wiki there are too. I think all H10 exclusive wps' are without cause it wouldn't make sense to implement it anyway
14:55:30Arathisthe_dan: do you prefer icandy or simple wps?
14:56:04the_danright now, anything that will work
14:56:07the_dansimple is fine
14:56:36the_danalso none of the WPS's fit on my screen properly
14:56:37the_danwhich is odd
14:56:59Arathisthe_dan: do you have a 5/6gb or 20gb h10?
14:57:05the_dan20
14:57:18the_danand its skipping with iCatcher
14:57:41the_danhmm
14:57:46the_danit seams to depend on what im doing

15:01:44the_danor take them apart and add to the .rockbox folder?
15:03:18Arathisextract them and put them on the player. they should have the same filestructure as the rockbox folder

15:04:06Arathisand then choose one through the options/theme menu

15:05:57Arathisthe_dan: and perhaps reset your settings by switching hold while booting
15:07:57ArathisEQ, peakmeter in WPS should be disabled at all. crossfeed won't affect playback that hard that it skips
15:08:34the_danhmm
15:08:46the_danjust reinstalled rockbox
15:08:49the_danetc etc
15:08:55Arathisit can also skip if you play a game or other CPU intesive plugin. but barrywardell works on activating the second CPU core so this won't happen anymore
15:08:58the_danand itll only skip with an EQ preset on
15:09:09the_dandual core? haha thats nuts
15:09:57Arathisthe_dan: so playback doesn't skip anymore for you (at least without EQ and pekameter)
15:10:27the_danyeah it good now
15:10:56Arathisgreat
15:11:03the_danthanks
15:11:18the_danalthough, eq presets would have been nice :(
15:12:17Arathisif they aren't too hard it should work though
15:13:37the_dancould the amount of files on disk effect the cpu load?

18:45:45bluebrotherwhile the sansa port is work in progress there isn't a working build suitable for users.
18:45:51Larsiehuh, so how do they use the simulator?
18:46:05LarsieI have build the simulator already
18:46:16bluebrotherthe sim is different −− simply as it doesn't simulate the complete hardware.
18:46:23bluebrotherit's a simulator, not an emulator.

18:46:27Larsieand I have experimentated with the bootloader
18:46:47Larsiehow can I get the simulator to work then?
18:47:16bluebrotherwhen building the sim Rockbox gets compiled for your PC, not for the target. Low-level stuff gets wrapped by usual PC OS functions.
18:47:35bluebrotherI never tried. Just building as sim?
18:47:56LarsieI did, then it say's it misses the rockbox files

19:47:00rasherLooks like my fix for the eqs worked.
19:47:18Larsiethere should be more players out there which focus on music instead of fancy plastic cases and GUI's
19:47:22rasherLet's see if anything else is missing
19:47:43jhMikeSamiconn: modified system memory guard to watch the voice swap buffer and bingo there something writing to it while voice is swapped but haven't gotten to narrowing down the fault :)
19:48:03amiconnHmm, now I'm somewhat confoozled about emac, latency and pipeline stalls :/
19:48:20amiconnThe speedup from shuffling instructions around isn't deterministic
19:48:37zei watched a movie off my mom's ipod the other day, via its tv out. surprisingly, it worked and looked great
19:48:52zelikewise when i watched one on its little screen, it was still surprisingly good looking and perfectly watchable
19:49:17jhMikeSamiconn: shouldn't it be doing something useful while waiting for results? :P
19:49:30zebut as far as music goes, come on... fancy themable GUI's are an mp3 tradition :p
19:50:11amiconnAnyway, current speedup is ~12% on H300 (vs. CVS)
19:50:12rasherJust kidding, I wouldn't mind a colourscreen. But I don't want it enough to ditch my trusty ihp120
19:50:25jhMikeSwe need a suite of gradient fill functions :D

19:51:18zealthough i dunno, i might change my mind on that once rockbox is 100% functional and optimized for ipods
19:51:41LarsieI hate the sansa actually, I just choose it for rockbox. The only other rockbox player I could get was an Ipod but I hate those even more :P
19:51:56Larsiethough I didn't hate the sansa before I bought it

19:53:13jhMikeSamiconn: think the x5 could benefit from the DMA lcd work? Doing 32-bit pixels was easy and really didn't hurt it anyway. What about DMA for rect fills?
19:53:15rasherLarsie: I believe "stupid" is redundant in that sentence

22:02:38amiconnThat swapping business wouldn't be necessary when linking the voice codec into the main binary
22:02:54amiconn(well, for iram it would still be necessary)
22:03:24jhMikeSWhat about the just have _one_ swap buffer idea?
22:03:46jhMikeSIf no voice is needed then there'd be no swap buffer.

22:05:56amiconnNow I get 16.5% speedup in lcd_yuv_blit() :-)
22:05:57jhMikeSit should allocate none :)
22:05:58Learamiconn: no voice codec needed?
22:06:17amiconnLear: Yeah, but then _no_ swapbuffer should be necessary
22:06:25LearAh, see your point now... :)
22:06:32amiconnNo swap, no buffer...
22:07:25jhMikeS...and one when voice is required since one is always in running state.
22:07:45amiconnYeah, but then we need a special memswap() function
22:08:24jhMikeSwhy should that be a big deal? just add it to the lib. :\
22:08:29 Quit theprodukkt (Read error: 145 (Connection timed out))
22:09:17amiconnIndeed no big deal. If we require the swapbuffer to be line aligned (position and size), the swap could be done really fast on coldfire...
22:10:34 Quit bawb2 ("seacrest out!")
22:10:37jhMikeSdoesn't it have to be aligned already? so you'd need 16-byte alignment. If we have a memswap function it should be a generally useful one imo. Anything overlapping is undefined behavior of course.
22:11:10amiconnThe codec ram is line aligned. The buffer isn't (yet)
22:11:44Learamiconn: Originally, there was no buffer when no voice. So it can be done. :)
22:11:50amiconnGeneral use memswap() is way more difficult to optimise for speed
22:13:40jhMikeSwouldn't the initial/final byte/word/longword copies be skipped
22:13:49jhMikeSerr swaps
22:14:09amiconnIt's more complex than that
22:14:23amiconnmemset() is simple, as there is only one address, the destination
22:14:41amiconnSo align, do line fills, and do the remainder
22:15:03amiconnmemswap() has the same difficulties as memcpy() and memmove() - there are 2 addresses
22:15:24jhMikeSwas gonna say it's more like that
22:15:30amiconnOnly one can be aligned, the other has to be accounted for all the time
22:15:52amiconnThat's why memcpy() and memmove() are currently monsters for coldfire
