00:31:53linuxstbitaly: Are you sure you mean apple's bootloader, and not the main Apple firmware?
00:34:37italyi mean the firmware
00:35:12linuxstbThat's different then... Which ipod do you have?
00:35:36italy4g
00:35:43italygrayscale
00:36:51linuxstbYou can create a firmware partition image containing just the Rockbox bootloader using the "scramble" tool in the Rockbox source. Do you have a development environment set up?
00:37:51italynope

00:38:40linuxstbJust write it to your ipod using ipodpatcher (I'm assuming you're running Windows).
00:39:11linuxstbYou should notice Rockbox booting a lot faster.

01:57:11JdGordonwhats the problem?
01:57:37BronYAurStompit says "In that folder type ../tools/configure which will bring up a list of all possible devices"

02:01:13BronYAurStompso am i using the wrong file? i downloaded the daily build for iPod Video
02:01:33JdGordonoyu need to download the sourcecode
02:01:44JdGordonthen you can compile it yourself

02:02:20scorcheuse cvs to download it
02:02:29JdGordonyes, but doesnt the page explain how to get it form cvs?
02:02:38scorcheit does
02:02:44BronYAurStompit has two options, From CVS or From Daily Build page
02:02:52scorchedo it from cvs
02:03:11BronYAurStompi'll be "Downloading (checking out) the source", right?

02:33:50TerrorByteDoes that have Rockboy on it?
02:34:21Paul_the_NerdThe screens aren't anything alike, which is what needs to be adapted for Rockboy
02:35:37TerrorByteI see.
02:35:39TerrorByteIs that all though?

02:37:08TerrorByteI see.
02:37:18TerrorByteIs anyone working on it currently?
02:37:26Paul_the_NerdProbably not.
02:37:31TerrorByteDamn, I wish I had enough knowledge of C to work on it myself.
02:37:53Paul_the_NerdThere are about a thousand more beneficial things to be done for the H10 port, and overall, right now anyway.
02:38:03Paul_the_NerdGaming is hardly the focus of Rockbox.

02:38:41TerrorByteIt won't hurt to get it done.
02:38:50TerrorByteShould I file a request?
02:38:55Paul_the_NerdIf you must.
02:39:05Paul_the_NerdI think we all know it doesn't work.
02:39:05TerrorByteOr is that a useless idea?
02:39:30Paul_the_NerdThere's probably already a request for the X5 (which would mostly cover the H10 20gb at least)
02:39:56JdGordonwouldnt the h10 button layout make it pretty difficult to use?
02:40:38TerrorByteRockboy?
02:40:41TerrorByteWell for some games I guess.

02:55:03***Saving seen data "./dancer.seen"
02:55:23PitchforkYeah, anyways, my brand new Video iPod is not under warranty, because it was sent as a replcament unit for a 30gb ipod that was not under warranty. Long story...
02:55:38TimGHey, can someone give me write access to the wiki? I'd just like to make some minor tweaks to the "how to write a plugin" page
02:55:42Paul_the_NerdPitchfork: Actually, at least an Apple Canada rep has said it doesn't void warranty. Since we only put data on disk, and don't actually alter the firmware, it *may* be okay on iPods, but this has never actually been tested in a warranty claim attempt yet.
02:56:08TimG...but I'd like to put a little documentation about the tagcache stuff too, as I figure out how it works
02:56:33PitchforkAnyways, what are the chances they will check if Rockbox is intalled. I don't think Apple's reapir service has time to waste.

02:57:43scorchePaul_the_Nerd: why havent we done the buying/selling/trading forum under hardware yet?
02:57:54scorcheDavide-NYC: well, forum staff
02:58:07Davide-NYCi see, I thought you and I had discussed trading remotes
02:58:09Paul_the_NerdDavide-NYC: I've been working on coming up with a solid set of rules for a Sales/Trades forum, but haven't yet. Put it in General Discussion for the moment, with a topic that starts with TRADE:, and I'll move it if I get the sales forum up soon
02:58:17Davide-NYCI was beginning to question my sanity

02:59:01*TimG is listening to 2. The Birthday Party - Happy Birthday
02:59:09scorchewe dont care =)
02:59:17TimGOops, sorry... dumb open-source UI...
02:59:32PitchforkAnyways, Rockbox is very promising. With divx support, it would be awesome
02:59:54*scorche ponders about the choice to include "open-source" in that comment
03:00
03:00:07Paul_the_NerdDavide-NYC: I want to make sure that we never have an issue of backing out on trades/sales etc, nor do I want people "fishing" for bids, or auctioning items. I want people putting an item up at a fair price, and selling it for the first person to meet that price (that seems likely to be reliable as a buyer)
03:00:25Paul_the_NerdSo I'm trying to establish a clear set of rules and limits before there's a section for any sort of hardware exchange/sales.
03:00:25scorchePitchfork: video isnt really a large goal for us, but im sure it will be done eventually
03:01:12Davide-NYCPaul_the_Nerd: Good luck with that. We would need some sort of feedback mechanism
03:01:14scorchePaul_the_Nerd: didnt we already discuss that in the thread?....or was those thoughts not fully expanded upon?

03:03:06SoapWith the current forum software, unless you have a secret module up your sleve, is there any sort of structure that can be imposed except "buyer beware"?
03:03:18Paul_the_NerdDavide-NYC: Essentially the plan is for people to be unable to post in the forum unless they contact us first, they're given permission (anyone can reply), if the seller doesn't sell to the first valid reply, and we receive a complaint. If the seller's story doesn't wash, they lose selling privileges.
03:03:44 Quit Pitchfork ()
03:03:46Paul_the_NerdSoap: There's a bit of one. It's easy enough to ensure people cannot start topics without our explicitly having given them permission to.

03:04:28SaidinUnleashedcan someone help me with a minor theme issue?
03:04:32Davide-NYCbut it should work very well
03:05:05Paul_the_NerdDavide-NYC: I can't imagine we'll have *too* many people wanting to sell often, and when we do, action is only necessary for the first sale, and the occasional conflict resolution, so probably not *too* bad.
03:05:41Davide-NYCI'm not privy to the volume of users and I like to believe there are MILLIONS of rockbox users.
03:05:42SaidinUnleashedin this theme I got from a friend, the progress bar is in the wrong place. I am not familiar with messing with themes. What element in the .wps file controls the progressbar's position?
03:06:14Paul_the_NerdDavide-NYC: There's only 6737 members registered at the forums right now. And less than half have posted, last I checked. :(
03:06:37Davide-NYCI don;t need to have my dreams shattered in such a manner

09:22:10markunWill you do the honours then?
09:22:55LinusNno time right now, can you?
09:23:12LinusNdoes it compile on all platforms?
09:23:19markunDidn't try
09:23:36LinusNcan it be voiced?
09:23:38markunDo some people still need the percentage mode?
09:24:53LinusNi dunno
09:25:54rasherIs the current pitch screen even voiced?
09:26:01LinusNit would be awfully nice if there was a manual change in the patch as well, but i guess that is asking a bit too much
09:26:20LinusNi don't know if the pitch screen is voiced atm
09:26:25rasherDon't think so
09:26:53rasherBet it's part of that talk-more patch
09:28:18rasherNope, nothing
09:28:53rasherso no regression there at least
09:28:57LinusNok then
09:29:42webguest30The percentage mode is still needed IMHO. If my guitar tune difference isn't exactly an integer number of semitones with the song played...
09:32:57 Quit dan_a ()
09:33:59rasherThere should be room for a "switch mode" button
09:34:16rasher(which would have to reset, I suppose)
09:36:50webguest30rasher: There IS the "switch mode" button (A-B on H1xx, don't know about other platforms)
09:38:28rasherI meant a button to switch between percentage and semitone mode
09:38:47rasherAnd my point was that there should be leftover buttons on all devices
09:39:02webguest30rasher: yes, that's the button I'm talking about.
09:39:29rasherSo this is already implemented?

09:49:48LinusNi mean, instead or adjusting the pitch in delta steps, it could keep track of how many semitones it has been adjusted from the base frequency
09:50:09markunyes, exactly
09:50:42preglowwell, it should
09:51:20LinusNJdGordon: yes, i've seen it
09:51:43JdGordonwhatcha think?
09:53:40rasherJdGordon: I have a complaint by the way. It was you who changed settings to be shown as lists, right?
09:53:48JdGordonyes
09:54:07rasherwait, let me just check if this is still relevant
09:54:14rasherbefore I make a fool of myself
09:54:19JdGordongo on :D
09:54:33rasherThe volume setting wraps
09:54:36rasherThis is not good
09:54:46JdGordonyeah, ill have a look into that now
09:54:47LinusNyeah, that's really nasty
09:55:10JdGordonshould it be a special case?
09:55:55rasherAdding a "do not wrap" parameter to lists might be useful
09:56:12LinusNJdGordon: i'm curious about the ata callback in the playback code, which calls ata_spin()
09:56:28JdGordonby wrap, do you mean that you should never be able to go from the max <-> min in one step? or just while holding down the button?
09:56:35preglowmy cpu fan seems to be trying to eat its way out

09:56:42JdGordonok
09:56:51LinusNpreglow: run and hide
09:57:27JdGordonLinusN: I put that in because it is possible that the ata driver turns off the hdd before the audio thread is reactivated, using ata_spin minimises that chance
09:57:55LinusNJdGordon: i haven't run the code, but i suspect that the disk might never spin down if the disk timeout is long
09:58:00 Join Rob2222 [0] (n=Miranda@p54B1638A.dip.t-dialin.net)
09:58:19LinusNespecially on players with a small audio buffer
09:59:01JdGordonLinusN: yeah, um I tihnk that is very possible.. maybe the ata spin can be removed if the callbacks are called whenever the disk is idle, not just when its about to shutdown
09:59:36JdGordonwhat is considered small?
09:59:46LinusNi think trying to sneak in a buffer refill while the disk is spinning is walking on thin ice
10:00
10:00:11LinusNsmall is 2mbytes
10:00:15JdGordonok, what do you think about the actual callback stuff tho?
10:00:33LinusNbut i think the archos playback code shouldn't use that callback
10:00:55LinusNJdGordon: i think it looks good
10:01:37LinusNfor some reason, i don't like the function names
10:01:46LinusN"accesslater"
10:01:54JdGordonwith 2mb buffer, does the disk acxtually spindown? that isnt all that much time
10:02:03JdGordonyeah, neither.. got a better name?
10:02:06LinusNoh, yes, it spins down
10:02:12scorcheit doesnt take that much time to fill up either though
10:02:29LinusNin fact, the spindown timer isn't used when playing audio
10:02:39webguest30LinusN: I think separate tracking of normal and semitone steps would make the patch 6145 more complicated. For me, it's very useable as it is now.
10:02:42LinusNit spins down as soon as it has buffered the data
10:02:45rasher2mb is a long time as mp3
10:02:54JdGordonalrighty
10:02:59 Part nave7693
10:03:01LinusNwebguest30: i agree, it can be done later if needed
10:04:16JdGordonback to the volume... is that the only setting which shouldnt wrap? its going to be annoying to add an extra parameter to set_int() if it is just the one
10:04:22LinusNJdGordon: not sure i have a better name, perhaps "ata_idle_xxx" or something?
10:04:37LinusNJdGordon: i think bass/treble too
10:04:38JdGordonata_delayedaccess?

10:57:58rasheramiconn: might happen by accident
10:58:06rashera min->max wrap could be pretty damaging
10:58:12rasherto equipment or hearing
10:58:36linuxstbamiconn: I played star for the first time since your rewrite, and it's looking nice. But it's far too slow on my 5g - both the object movement animations, and the fades between levels. It could do with being at least twice as fast.
10:59:19JdGordonamiconn: im indifferent, but others are really against the wrap... shall we do a quick vote in the channel or something?
10:59:25BonusbartusI posted it on the forum already, but I didn't get the answer I looked for ;) I'm trying to build a IR remote control for my h340 and h120, the receiver part is ready, but I need to connect it to my player
10:59:54rasherOh nice. I managed to crash Rockbox for the first time in ages. By pressing play to resume, and then stop quick after
10:59:55amiconnThe wrap might be somewhat problematic for volume, but for all other settings I vote for keeping it
11:00
11:00:08amiconnBut that makes volume a special case
11:00:16aliaskBonusbartus: How do you intend connecting the IR receiver?
11:00:28LinusNBonusbartus: the remote buttons are connected to a resistor network, which is in turn connected to an A/D converter
11:01:13BonusbartusI have an unused h100 remote with a damaged display so I could use the cable from it, I found the resistor values you put somewhere on the site linus, so that s not realy a problem

11:01:40Bonusbartusbut How do I get the player to See and recognise the remote
11:01:57Slasherieasier would be to connect a bluetooth module to the internal serial port of the player

11:14:40amiconnMaybe we should adjust animation step size depending on lcd size
11:15:00BonusbartusLinusN: As far as I can tell with the docs on site, The A/D converter is connected directly to the cpu and no parts of the remote plug are connected to the RC_Detect

11:21:32BonusbartusLinusN: Only one cable is connected directly to the ADC, RC_BTN, I hope that means that I only have to simulate the voltages in the button resistor network, so it wouldn't be a problem to not simulate the display and such?

11:22:42Paul_the_NerdjhMikeS: You use left/right to navigate the *vast* majority of settings, but you can't see that an INT setting looks different, so left/right will no longer navigate menus but instead change the setting, causing at least some confusion, I imagine.
11:23:02Paul_the_NerdYou don't have the visual feedback of the bar, so you don't see why the controls have changed just for those specific screens, right?
11:23:21obocouldn't you voice the value as it's changed?
11:23:23LinusNBonusbartus: no, it is not the RC_BTN pin
11:24:29amiconnBonusbartus: The LCD i/f is write-only, so the CPU doesn't even notice when there is no LCD
11:25:32Bonusbartusjust iunstalling vmware again, my pc crashed so it'll take a few minutes to set up everything again...
11:26:28BonusbartusSo I would have to simulate the resistor network for the buttons to function, an another value for the rc to be detected as an H100 remote

11:43:36Paul_the_NerdSome differentiation could definitely make it easier to tell where you are at a glance though.
11:43:40DeefI blame lack of sleep for being too tired to think hard enough
11:43:44jhMikeSuse up/left for decrement and down/right for increment and select for setting it. use another convenient button on the player to cancel. could reverse the up/down if that makes more sense.
11:43:58Deefyeah
11:44:10DeefSorry for the tension anyway
11:44:27Paul_the_NerdEh, I'm a bit of a jerk about semantics, and it gets on people pretty easily.

11:46:01barrywardelllinuxstb: not yet. he hasn't been on there the times i have checked
11:46:13Paul_the_NerdDeef: Way I see it, what could help a lot would actually be making the icons both themeable and able to be full color bitmaps instead of mono. Then they'd be quite a bit more visible at a glance, possibly.
11:46:27Paul_the_NerdIt would make things look 'nicer' and add an additional visual cue.
11:46:51*Deef nods
11:47:12linuxstbPaul_the_Nerd: Which icons are you talking about?

11:47:26DeefJust icons and the like
11:47:36jhMikeSand larger ones on less cramped screens
11:47:40Paul_the_Nerdlinuxstb: Filetree icons for folders and such, as well as those defined in viewers.config.
11:47:55linuxstbThe problem with those is that they need to match the font size...
11:48:06DeefBut dammit the iriver navigation is killing me as well heh
11:48:29Paul_the_Nerdlinuxstb: Make lines the height of the icon or the height of the font, whichever is larger?
11:48:33LinusNbarrywardell: no, i haven't had time to work on that
11:48:42Paul_the_NerdBesides, if the icons are themable, then you design the icon to the fontsize of the theme anyway.

11:52:47jhMikeSWhy not include icons of various sizes available in general? Maybe even a new file format with multiple images of different sizes for each icon.
11:53:02rasher.ico!
11:53:25jhMikeSkind of, but more flexible for our purposes
11:53:48Paul_the_NerdWhy not leave the icons for the default font size for the target, and just give themers the option to create their own for their theme?
11:53:53jhMikeSno size restrictions, and a library of all needed images
11:54:14rasherThe man has a point
11:54:28jhMikeSIf I change my font I'd like the images to follow
11:54:32Paul_the_NerdThough I'm honestly not sure how to integrate it with viewers.config
11:54:55jhMikeSdon't
11:55:22Paul_the_NerdjhMikeS: Instead of "Browse Fonts" have a Font folder with .cfg files that load the font, and a size-appropriate icon-only theme for that font. :-P
11:55:43linuxstbOr add icons to the font (every font...)
11:56:20rasherOr make it work like voices, which are in the same files as languages, but in a filename that is hidden usually
11:56:56jhMikeSnah, it can be made pretty simple, like a rockbox-XxY.icons file
11:59:25jhMikeSThe theme deginer could use the stock file or design their own with images of special size or appearance to go with the theme then.
12:00
12:00:44Paul_the_NerdThe way I see it, you could drop the icon hex from viewers.config
12:00:48jhMikeSEven have images default back to the stock icon lib when not in the theme.
12:01:00jhMikeSPaul_the_Nerd: yes, use an icon id instead
12:01:08Paul_the_NerdThen you have an icons.config that is a list of icon filenames, and the associated file extension (with perhaps a keyword for "Music" and "Playlist" files)
12:01:32Paul_the_NerdAnd of course, themes can include an override icons.config that points to replacement images in their theme folder.

12:04:23linuxstbDon't forget different icons might be needed for main unit and remote...
12:04:40rasherOnly if different fonts become possible..
12:04:42jhMikeSlinuxstb: that's a must have
12:04:53linuxstbe.g. color for H300 main LCD, mono for remote.
12:05:10jhMikeSIt shouldn't have any bearing on fonts being different
12:05:47linuxstbIf the user can choose a small font for the remote, and a large font for the LCD, the icons need to match as well.
12:05:48jhMikeSmaybe I misunderstood that ?
12:06:27linuxstbi.e. At the moment, it's just color-depth that can vary between screens, but in the future hopefully size can vary as well.
12:06:32Paul_the_Nerdlinuxstb: But that's the same as separate WPS from RWPS, you just have /icons/ and /ricons/ or whatnot
12:06:33jhMikeSWould be about time for that imo. Right now trying to display things on both screens tends to sacrific the larger one to the smaller

12:11:57rasherwith a nice frame etc, of course
12:11:58Paul_the_NerdMy understanding was that they essentially allow subscreens to be rendered to, so you could have the menu popup within its own frame, or text scroll within a limited area, etc.

12:22:08linuxstbThat would just be how the initial implementation would work - to maintain backwards compatibility.
12:22:28linuxstbi.e. a default full-screen viewport.
12:22:37Paul_the_NerdIf a theme doesn't define viewports, then they default to looking like Rockbox does now, right?
12:23:06jhMikeSnot sure why that's needed for backwards compatibility. spashes could be updated right away to take advantage.

12:25:06Kasperlewhat does rockbox want to tell me with "error accessing playlist control file"?
12:25:12jhMikeSAll screens as currently implemented should use a fullscreen viewport, yes but the splash screens needn't heed that.
12:26:00Paul_the_NerdKasperle: Honestly, Rockbox occasionally tells users that even on 'working' iPods, on occasion. It's *possible* that you've found a way to agitate an existing bug into consistency.
12:26:01jhMikeSThen the yes/no can be a message box. It's not themed either except maybe with colors.
12:26:53Paul_the_NerdjhMikeS: It would lose its backdrop, but that could be replaced with the "background color" whatever that's set at.
12:28:29linuxstbWe should have more colours defined in Rockbox - so splashes (and message boxes if we go that route) can have their own colours. Can users even have different colours in the WPS at the moment?
12:28:32jhMikeSI think additional color preferences should be added. But yeah, the current splash uses another color but always light gray.
12:28:39jhMikeSheh

12:40:27Kasperleit's also more standards compatible
12:40:43rasherDepends what you mean

12:40:59rasherBash implements posix and a whole bunch of other stuff
12:41:24rasherI wouldn't really call one more standards compatible than the other
12:41:25Kasperlethe other stuff is what makes people use bash and thus break compatibility with systems without bash and especially /bin/sh not being bash

12:41:53rasherWell, that's not a problem you need to consider if you're selecting a default shell, really
12:42:30Kasperlesometimes people need to be educated "the hard way" ;)
12:42:56jhMikeShmm...the H120 gets way better radio reception than the x5
12:43:13rasherI'm sure most people will just set their shell to bash and get on with their lives
12:43:22*linuxstb wonders why POSIX chose a single = for comparisons
12:43:52Kasperlerasher: that's fine. but they might learn that /bin/sh is not necessarily bash in the process.
12:44:48rasherPerhaps. I usually start out as /bin/bash, then test with dash and change to /bin/sh if I need to. Of course, that's assuming I don't cock up as I did just now.
12:45:11FireFly_linuxstb: because the syntax for an assignment is BLA="blub" and not BLA = "blub" i guess

12:58:00jhMikeSAs long as you can develop the reflex about what it represents in context
12:58:34jhMikeSI think killing text outright would be a mistake too
12:59:05rasherIcons and a single text string at the bottom of the screen describing the currently selected item

13:00:14linuxstbI'm perfectly happy with Rockbox's current text-only UI - it just needs making a little prettier (better use of colour, larger fonts for large LCDs, better icons etc).

13:01:19amiconnEven though I do like graphical UIs
13:01:32jhMikeSthat could be a theme. it looks nice and has the gloss I like
13:02:01rasherTango icons are nice
13:02:07jhMikeSIf we're careful, "textual" could be a theme itself
13:02:16rasherExcept the blue folder icon. Don't like that.
13:02:31aliaskChange the hue in photoshop :)
13:02:33jhMikeSfolders are manilla...period ;)
13:02:51amiconnWith icons, I often have to guess what they mean (or move to them in order to see some popup text)
13:03:03linuxstbamiconn: I'm with you there.
13:03:18aliaskI think if all icons have accompanying text, it shouldn't be a problem.
13:03:29amiconnMany newer cellphones have their main menu implemented as icons.
13:03:32jhMikeSbut there's text there...once I have a strong association with them they only need be recognizeable
13:03:38amiconnaliask: Then it's just a waste of space
13:03:52jhMikeSno it's not
13:03:53aliaskBut it looks much nicer

13:04:09linuxstbaliask: No it doesn't - it just looks like Windows 3.1...
13:04:26rasherI really think that icons only, and a single, changing piece of text is the way to go if you want an icon-interface
13:04:31aliaskDo those icons in the image I linked look like Windows 3.1?
13:04:53rasherMy phone has that, but the icons are hideous, so I use a text-menu with small icons instead
13:05:17hcsrasher: Nokia?

13:05:21rasherhcs: yup
13:05:29jhMikeSThey make navigation speedier when you gain experience. I can look at the icons in my context menu for WinRar and such and find it faster with a pictue
13:05:33aliaskrasher: Anything wrong with that?
13:05:35linuxstbaliask: No. I was referiing to Linus's grid suggeston.

13:16:40FebsI *did* notice your lack of trimming on the ipod backlight discussion ;)
13:17:41rasherI did trim, just only the stuff below what I wanted to answer. Forgot the bits above it for some reasons.
13:18:19*jhMikeS hopes there's no code anywhere in rb that calls buffer_alloc after initializing audio without explicitly obtaining the pointer first. Just a pitfall of using that interface...
13:31:49oboafter audio_init or mp3_init?
13:31:59*JdGordon is back, did i miss anything interesting?
13:33:52jhMikeSobo: yes. audio and voice must be stopped first and buffer marked as trashed before using it. a call to audio_get_buffer will do that.
13:33:59*amiconn thinks the cellphone UIs are getting worse instead of better
13:34:23*aliask generally agrees
13:34:50amiconnMy first had a pure text menu. Nice and simple. The second one too. My current one has a main menu with icons which takes longer to operate than a text menu
13:35:26jhMikeSbuffer_alloc nibbles away at the start of RAM right where the voice file is stored or the file buffer starts if no voice.
13:35:32amiconnAt least the icons have a selected state that can be recognised. The last cellphone UI I saw (Siemens CF75) doesn't even have that

13:53:53JdGordonamiconn: playback.c will refill the buffer if it is under 75% if the disk is spinning, linus doesnt want that for low mem targets because its possible it never shutsdown the disk

13:58:04jhMikeSthat's maybe worth 15s of audio at 44100Hz
13:58:08Paul_the_NerdjhMikeS: The theory is that the disk is already spinning, so before it stops it may as well top off the buffer.
13:58:10Life^just their prescence?

14:04:08JdGordonthe problem is, the topping off (i assume) must be done by the audio thread, but the callback is from the ata thread, so the callback sends the Q_AUDIO_FILL_BUFFER to the audio thread, where it is possible that the disk has already spundown
14:04:22jhMikeSPost to the audio thread and wait for it.
14:04:41JdGordonunless I add a new Q_AUDIO_FILL_BUFFER_IF_ATA_ACTIVE which checks the disk befoe calling the rebuffer?
14:04:42jhMikeSSpindown shouldn't finish while in the callback
14:05:29JdGordonfs 6289 has the patch btw
14:06:15JdGordonmaybe ill do that, more elegant than using ata_spin()
14:06:23jhMikeSThe callback should be synchronized and spindown should only occur after it returns or after all register callbacks have returned
14:06:40JdGordonit is
14:07:02JdGordonbut the callbacks are run from the ata thread, not the main thread.. which can cause problems (i tinhk)
14:07:23JdGordonI don want to add semaphores and such
14:07:50JdGordondo we have counting semaphores in the core?
14:07:55jhMikeSthen you'll have a race condition
14:07:58jhMikeSno we don't
14:09:12jhMikeSafaik there's no order in which the scheuler releases the waiters other than normal but it may have been changed if the waiters are queued or something
14:12:47JdGordonhow does this look? ata_fillbuffer_callback(void) is called when the disk is idle but still spinninng (or about to shutdown), the callback puts the rebuffer requests onto the queue but it only gets filled if the disk is still spinning http://rafb.net/paste/results/pygUmF12.html

14:13:02jhMikeSWe need something to release all waiting threads on an event. pcm_record.c for example doesn't see trouble because it's not being accessed by multiple thread for controlling recording...yet
14:13:27JdGordonwhich means, its possibly safe for archos
14:16:03jhMikeSThe spindown doesn't involve interrupts does it?
14:16:20JdGordoni dont tihnk so.. not sure...
14:16:51jhMikeSthat's important cause it could spin down after the ata_disk_is_active call if so
14:17:31JdGordonthe liklyhood of that happening is pretty slip i would think
14:17:34JdGordonslim
14:18:13jhMikeSIt's a race condition. What if it spins down after that? Will it just respin and buffer normally?
14:18:53jhMikeShmmm...I guess it it'll just drop to the buffer fill as usual
14:18:55JdGordonconsidering ata_disk_is_active() would be called from a different thread, so to spin down the disk between a check and a ata access there needs to be a yield to the ata thread first, which wouldnt happen then
14:19:58jhMikeSok...sounds good to me :) So I guess it's done by the ATA thread only
14:20:11JdGordonwhat is?
14:20:19jhMikeSThe spindown?
14:20:38JdGordonyes, afaik only the ata thread can shutdown the disk
14:23:08JdGordonbtw, the 15s of aduio quoted before.. where did that come from? 25% of 32 is 8mb of ram, or 8min of a standard mp3
14:23:09jhMikeSyes, it's not a tick task or anything
14:23:45jhMikeSI came up with it from 44100Hz PCM on an x5 with 16MB.
14:24:08JdGordonah, but its the codec buffer, not the pcm one..

14:27:35jhMikeSAt any memory level for that matter
14:27:57JdGordon? it wouldnt..
14:28:19JdGordonthe idea of this is to get this idle access stuff into the code, with it actually being used when it does
14:28:27LinusNJdGordon: doesn't really matter at the moment, since the low-mem targets (archos) use a different playback engine

14:44:41amiconnThe MAS PCM codec officially supports only 8,11,12,16,22,24,32,44 and 48kHz
14:44:52Paul_the_NerdSo how would 96 work?
14:45:03amiconnBut the MAS can easily be overclocked to 200% (we do this when pitching up for mp3 as well)
14:45:28amiconnAnd pitching to 200% then produces 64,88 and 96kHz
14:45:48jhMikeSThen you can't pitch up 96 from the pitch screen any more
14:46:04amiconntrue
14:46:29amiconnBut I know it works, I used this when testing the s/pdif frequency measurement on the H140
14:46:42JdGordonhmm.. watching the aduio thread debug, it sounds/looks like the hdd turns off as soon as the rebuffering finishes (this is without the callback)
14:47:07amiconn96kHz PCM will cause the archos to rebuffer every 5 seconds though

14:49:18JdGordonthe kills any benefit thiis idel stuffs would have
14:49:21jhMikeSsuppose I understand the intent was to stop the disk if only started for rebuffer
14:50:53JdGordonthe plan is to use the idle callbacks to save playlist position, settings, etc.. and the most common way to get the disk spinning is by a audio rebuffering.. but the ata_sleep() bypasses the callbacks

14:53:31JdGordonor is that coz im being an idiot with the excessive track sckipping to test rebuffering?
14:53:44JdGordon97% doesnt leave much room
14:54:01linuxstb97% means it's been judged perfectly...
14:54:46JdGordonok, well if its not going to grow anymore, then yes
14:54:59linuxstbBut yes, it does look risky.
14:55:17linuxstbIs the % in the debug screen the current usage, or the maximum usage?
14:55:18JdGordonand usb is down at 10%..
14:55:18jhMikeSThe pcm record stack needs adjusting. It overflowed a little the first time I tested changes. I guess it should be calced from the max but that one's simple.

15:08:47SoapThe reason I ask is I am getting one free in a week or two from the Key Bank offer, I have no use for it, and would be willing to donate it IF there was someone serious about its port who needed one. Otherwise I might as well sell it and donate cash.
15:09:34SoapI know donations sometimes get spent getting hardware in the hands of developers, and I thought I might as well cut out the middle man.
15:09:59JdGordonhmm... just trying in the sim... it looks like the nano will buffer at 75% full every time.. is that bad enough to not commit this?

16:45:14tim66anyone know if I could use the h140's remote data line for output, or is it wired for input only?
16:45:38tim66though, what I meant was the opposite, can I use it for serail input !
16:46:36tim66i know the remote is wired for input only, but can the iriver do bi-directional comms on this pin?
16:48:22n1stim66 how can it be input only and still manage to write to the remote lcd?
16:53:45amiconntim66: You could use the lcd data lines for bidirectional communication if your remote replacement doesn't have an lcd
16:54:09amiconnOf course that'd mean writing your own driver and disabling the remote lcd driver in your custom build

20:09:09*amiconn needs to check the SCF5250 datasheet to fix one of the conflicts :/
20:09:25Davide-NYCbecause they cost a fortune
20:09:32scorchebut they are oh so nice
20:09:35Davide-NYCI sold that.

20:15:10[g2]lowlight IMHO you miss the whole point of the purchase
20:15:49SoulDeaDis it possible to run rockbox in an emulated environment?
20:15:50[g2]lowlight and actually probably quite the contrary

20:18:37[g2]lowlight you are aware of the AMD/ATI purchase right ?
20:18:38SoulDeaDiīd like to run the kernel of rockbox and maybe optimize it
20:18:48Ana|Anyone here using Linux & Rockbox? Why is it telling me that .rockbox is read only even as root and why is themes filled with a lot of .. uh... crap? (big files)
20:18:56SoulDeaDok, iīll try it
20:19:08SoulDeaD10x
20:19:10Ana|It actually tells me .rockbox is 70 gigabytes in size
20:19:10jhMikeSBetter double check if I left anything in that shouldn't be there
20:19:24amiconnAna|: Sounds like a messed up file system
20:19:58jhMikeSoops, left a reference to a testing plugin :P
20:20:21*amiconn is building for archos recorder now
20:20:24Ana|amiconn: Yup... However rockbox works. After mounting, writing to the root level is possible.
20:20:37lowlight[g2]: of course...at least that one makes sense.
20:20:48Ana|but writing to .rockbox is rendered impossible after browsing the folders

20:20:56amiconnAna|: Access works as long as the fs driver doesn't trip over the messed up area
20:21:17amiconnI would recommend a file system check before writing anything to that disk
20:21:27[g2]lowlight for $165M net (pennies for NV) they get dual core high volume (10M units) proven ARM cores
20:21:29jhMikeSnever mind, I'm exhausted, wrong SOURCES file
20:22:22amiconnjhMikeS: I'll try removing aiff for hwcodec. Wonder what's going on there...
20:22:48Ana|Mhhh... I have installed the bootloader for Rockbox and such... So I should generally be able to just format the iPod via mkfs.vfat, or am I wrong?
20:22:53amiconnDo you remember the error message it caused?
20:23:05[g2]lowlight NV is now fully vertically integrated in the PDA/Cellphone market and can probably spin PC based on ARM core by Q1 or Q2 '07
20:23:06jhMikeSIt's in the switch statement in metadata.c
20:23:19Ana|It actually only contains the regular Apple OS database, so Rockbox won't read it anyways
20:23:29jhMikeSIf it's not declared it's an error
20:23:29amiconnmetadata.c? That shouldn't be compiled for hwcodec afaik...
20:24:01jhMikeSThat's where it reads the table or was it id3.c...wait a minute
20:24:25jhMikeSyeah, metadata.c
20:24:51jhMikeSIt had it's own table but now there is only the one
20:25:32Ana|amiconn: If I'd just create /dev/sda2 as a new filesystem, that should work, don't it?
20:25:57Learamiconn: maybe metadata.c is used by the tagcache?
20:25:59Ana|Does rockbox expect the partition to have any standard name?
20:26:00amiconnDunno, never tried that
20:26:19jhMikeSAFMT_NUM_CODECS must be the correct value
20:26:22amiconnThe name is irrelevant for rockbox, even the partition type is
20:26:39Ana|mhh... How do I go on repairing the filesystem else?
20:26:55amiconnchkdsk
20:27:03amiconn(on windows)
20:27:32amiconnOr some fs check on linux... don't remeber how it's called
20:27:46scorchefsck
20:27:54amiconnFor fat?
20:28:58LearSomething with fsck in it, yes...
20:29:02Ana|fsck.vfat, should do it
20:29:02Ana|^^
20:29:17Slasheriyep, metadata.c is used for tagcache. It's just necessary to interface with the id3 tag functions
20:29:28Slasherionly id3 parsing is compiled in for hwcodec
20:29:48scorcheactually, isnt it dosfsck or something like that?
20:30:07scorcheit is
20:30:07LearBut if only used for id3, it shouldn't be hard to skip that... But maybe you want it future-proofed for wav support. :)
20:30:07Slasheriscorche: that is the same program

20:30:22voyeurdid i mistaked ?
20:30:43amiconnLear: That's why I said it's good placement to put aiff (and wav) right after mp1/mp2/mp3
20:30:49jhMikeSSuppose you could put the AFMT_AIFF _after_ the definition of AFMT_NUM_CODECS for HWCODEC
20:30:49SlasheriLear: yes, sure :) tagcache engine shouldn't need to the file type
20:30:54amiconnBut it can be moved into the ifdef for now

21:43:36bluebrotherSoulDeaD, when building Rockbox you can build it as simulator. Hardware specific stuff gets wrapped so everything that's not hw-dependend runs on the host.

21:44:10jhMikeSpreglow: probably. you'll have to generate silence at first or start playback on the first available data out
21:44:56 Quit dpro (Read error: 104 (Connection reset by peer))
21:44:57jhMikeShmmm...thinking...could use the same buffer really
21:45:00SoulDeaDbluebrother i am interested in the hardware specific part...
21:45:01preglowjhMikeS: this might be made more problematic by the fact that playback and recording aren't syncronous, i guess
21:45:18jhMikeSthey are in terms of the rate of data
21:45:22preglowyes, sure
21:45:30bluebrotherhmm. I believe ther is nothing out there that emulates that.
21:45:32jhMikeSthat's about it
21:45:53preglowbut what would be best by far would be for recording and playback to be ready at the same time :>
21:46:04jhMikeScould probably use one buffer though
21:46:21SlasheriMy_Sic: can you compile rockbox? try enabling devel - logf
21:46:24jhMikeSyou'll always end up starting one slightly before the other
21:46:39Slasherithen you can use the logfdump feature in debug menu to create a log file containing error messages
21:46:46Slasheribut now i need to go ->
21:47:02My_Sicyes i can
21:47:10My_Sici will try
21:47:20My_Sicthey can take some minutes the time i start linux
21:47:50preglowseems like playback still needs to be stereo too
21:48:13amiconnroflmao
21:48:26*amiconn now has a nice hall effect machine
21:48:33jhMikeSif you have four indexes in one circular buffer |DMA read|Wet Mix Out|Dry Mix In|DMA Write| it should go.

21:50:10preglowjhMikeS: btw, in what context is the pcm callback called, really?
21:50:13amiconnI set the archos recorder to mic in, and connected it to my hifi set via s/pdif out
21:50:17jhMikeSinterrupt
21:50:21preglowjhMikeS: if it's interrupt, i pretty much need to do double buffering, i guess
21:50:36amiconnThe s/pdif->analog converter (in the cd player) has a long delay (about half a second)
21:50:42preglowamiconn: _THAT_ long?
21:50:50jhMikeScould use the irq level as a mutex. can plugins do it?
21:50:58amiconnNow talking/making noises creates nice decaying echoes...

21:52:17desowinExclamationD: no
21:52:17preglowjhMikeS: basically what i should do is calculate one buffer while waitinf for the pcm callback to use the other one
21:52:36preglowjhMikeS: also, whatever i pass along frmo the pcm callback just gets copied, right?
21:52:42ExclamationD:( thx,
21:52:58jhMikeSyes...it uses the buffer directly for the transfer over i2c

21:54:30jhMikeSbut like I said, a circular scheme might avoid the need for it
21:54:34gh0sti hope this is not a silly question, but i REALLY want to use rockbox for ipod 5g, so my question: is the battery life issue "fixed", because for me battery life is extremely important. If no, when will it "approximately" be fixed? thanks!
21:55:04Bagdergh0st: no its not "fixed"
21:55:10Bagderand no it can't be estimated
21:55:23gh0stthat's what i tought, thanks for info
21:55:44preglowjhMikeS: circular as in how? if i am to just use one buffer, then i would have to need to know how much of the buffer is already transmitted at all times, no?
21:55:54gh0sti just can imagine it surpassing the original firmware- how cool is that!?
21:56:00desowinI also would love to have 'fixed' battery life, damn apple don't support rockbox :P

21:57:29Soapgh0st - 10 hours continious is all I get out of a 60 gig 5th gen.
21:57:40gh0stdesowin: yeah, but a VERY important aspect ;-)
21:57:40Soapgh0st - expect less from a 30 gig.
21:57:54gh0stSoap: with rockbox?
21:57:56Soapthere is a battery runtime page on the wiki.
21:57:59Soapgh0st - yes.
21:58:15gh0stis it possible to completely turn off the display while playing
21:58:26gh0stbecause again, with apple's it's not possible
21:58:43 Part n1s
21:58:45SoapI got 11 hours of continious playback with unpatched rockbox, and routinely get about that "in the field" so to speak using the 64 meg patch.
21:58:58Soapgh0st - display completely off is not possible.
21:59:02Soapbacklight is.
21:59:14Soapbut that does not appear to be the main source of battery drain.
21:59:19desowingh0st: I made patch for it (not released it though, as it's rather dirty)
21:59:27gh0stbut wouldn't considerably make the battery life longer?:
21:59:35desowingh0st: and I didn't notice longer battery life
21:59:51desowingh0st: I have iPod mini 2nd gen
21:59:55gh0stbecause, after all, why showing the displa while it's in the ... POCKET?
22:00
22:00:07Soapconsiderably? no - I say that based on the fact that rockbox only accheives ~55% of apple runtime all things being equal, so there is obviously a problem which is not the screen.
22:00:35gh0stSoap: 55% only?
22:00:35Soapa major issue.
22:00:38Bagderindeed, also considering that Rockbox surpasses the OF on most other players
22:00:40jhMikeSpreglow: this one: |DMA read|Wet Mix Out|Dry Mix In|DMA Write|
22:00:48Soapgh0st - 55%.
22:01:27gh0stwell, that makes me think again about the installation of rockbox as an end user ...
22:01:37jhMikeSIf you keep the DMAs going and read/write between them they'll maintain they're relative position if they read/write at the same rate
22:02:23jhMikeSDon't read dry mix ahead of the write position and always keep wet mix ahead of the read position
22:02:28Soapgh0st - 60gig or 30gig?
22:02:43gh0stSoap 30gig
22:03:02Soapahh, so you are looking at 8ish hours.
22:03:03jhMikeSguess you just adjust the spacing as needed

23:27:21preglowwouldn't know anything about that, but it is possible
23:27:30markunadk920: new version of what?
23:27:37adk920rockbox

23:27:44preglowrockbox isn't modded apple firmware
23:27:48preglowrockbox is coded from scratch
23:27:49adk920idk he said he saw it in the in development section
23:28:05adk920I was just curious to know if he was just lieing
23:28:24adk920yea it's very impressive best ipod linux i've seen

23:32:43adk920no one told me it was linux I stumbled upon it and assumbed it was,
23:32:57*petur wonders what's the best way to ship his squeezebox (from Belgium) to the US...
23:33:10preglowjhMikeS: but yeah, play_pcm_data is just supposed to be called once, yes?
23:33:14jhMikeSyes
23:33:30adk920so what type of ipods do you all have?
23:33:31preglowold code seems to wprk, though, so obviously calling it again and again works too :P
23:33:38adk920or mp3 players
23:33:49markunadk920: iriver h120 and toshiba gigabeat f40
23:33:58adk920ah
23:34:24adk920i've got an ipod 4g (original) and 5g 60gb
23:34:38adk920I always tend to buy them right before they release the new model
23:34:49NickDeI dont like ipods at all
23:34:57jhMikeSpreglow: depends on if you just want to play a clip once or not or play data continuously
23:35:03NickDeI audio X5 for me
23:35:17NickDe*iAudio X5
23:35:24hcsI have an ipod photo
23:35:37adk920when I first bought my ipod 4g I broke it 6 times from data corruption
23:35:48adk920good thing it's got a warranty :)
23:35:48jhMikeSx5/H120
23:36:11NickDedoes rockbox on H120 support the Opt. out?
23:36:17Paul_the_NerdYes.

23:36:23NickDeI assume it does.. not sure if its s function of the hardware or software
23:36:24NickDeoh WOW
23:36:25NickDethats cool
23:37:15preglowjhMikeS: continuously
23:37:18jhMikeSthose folks I bought the H120 from _really_ want me to buy their extended warranty for $20.
23:37:50jhMikeSthen pass NULL and 0 for the size and the callback should return the pointer and size
23:38:19preglowyeap, that's what i'm doing
23:38:33jhMikeSah...then everythings ok
23:39:21adk920wait does rockbox play avi files?
23:39:37preglowjhMikeS: and it'll continue calling back until i return 0 in the callback, or do i actually need to call pcm_play_stop?
23:39:41preglowadk920: no
23:39:51jhMikeSit will stop when the size is 0
23:39:57preglowgoodie, then all i do is right

23:41:58jhMikeSYou'll have to sync your patch again
23:42:08JdGordonmeh
23:42:23amiconnjhMikeS: Well, if the warranty is so extended that it covers rockbox hacking... ;)
23:42:26jhMikeSpreglow: awww...but good night. will wait eagerly for progress

23:44:55Paul_the_NerdI've had some good luck with extended warranties in the past, but it always depends.
23:45:34Paul_the_NerdFor example my current one on my Laptop covers everything but intentional abuse (including accidental damage, and to the screen, which is nice)
23:45:37jhMikeSI've never had anything really break on me
23:46:05jhMikeSexcept Dell monitors
23:46:05Paul_the_NerdOnly time I've ever had something break is when a guest knocks over a table, or something similar.
23:46:11Paul_the_NerdIt's *other* people I don't trust.
23:46:18jhMikeSyeah...me neither
23:46:26jhMikeS;)
23:46:42Soapmy last two Dell laptops had keyboards which failed.
23:46:50hcs'scool, I don't trust you guys either
23:47:15jhMikeSDell is crap...had to send back one monitor three times and another once

23:54:22tim66Paul_the_Nerd: hi, did you break an iriver remote recently?
23:55:12Paul_the_Nerdtim66: Not lately, no. But I did finally get a replacement so the opportunity is available again
23:55:12*jhMikeS asks: is a little off-topic discussion really so bad if the traffic is low and it's not watering down on-topic discussion?
23:56:06tim66paul_the_nerd: don't suppose you have a broken one spare, but with a working cable&plug?
23:56:20hcsI'm looking for a handy way to invert a rectangle that will work on any bitmapped display. Is there some code I could use, as I don't see anything obvious in the plugin API?
23:56:48jhMikeS~pixel ?
23:56:59Paul_the_Nerdtim66: I actually have two semi-broken ones, I'm not sure where the damage is, it's most likely in the cable somewhere
23:57:13 Part adk920
23:57:14Paul_the_NerdThey're packed, as I semi-recently moved (occurred after the breaking) but I can try to dig them up
23:58:10amiconnhcs: If you mean invert as in negating all pixels: set draw mode to DRMODE_COMPLEMENT, then use lcd_fillrect()
23:58:25hcsamiconn: yes, that's exactly what I mean, thanks
23:58:48Paul_the_Nerdtim66: One of them actually is *almost* fully functional, except for the play button not working at all, but the damage occurred by the cable catching on something, so I have to assume it's related to the connection somehow
23:58:58jhMikeSthen the calling function has to say "thank you" :)
