00:26:56Soapno problem
00:27:03Soapgoing to do stock 0.4 now.
00:27:12TrueJournalsHey... real quick question... does rockbox support playing ABR MP3 files?
00:27:27Soapdon't do it TrueJournals!
00:27:32TrueJournalslol
00:27:35SoapYour iPod will EXPLODE!
00:27:38Paul_the_NerdTrueJournals: Rockbox supports all valid MP3s.
00:27:40TrueJournalsdon't have an iPod
00:27:43Paul_the_NerdOr it should.
00:27:44TrueJournalsI have an iRiver H10
00:27:47Paul_the_NerdIf it doesn't, it's a bug.
00:27:47Soaplucky you
00:27:51TrueJournalsok, thanks
00:27:53Soapit would explode an Apple.
00:27:57TrueJournalslol
00:28:22linuxstbWhat's ABR?
00:28:28SoapAverage Bitrate
00:28:36TrueJournalsDoes anybody know anything about ABR MP3s? I just found out about them... what would you say the quality is compared to VBR and CBR?
00:28:43Soapworse than VBR
00:28:46Soapbetter than CBR
00:28:54Soapbasicly it is a hampered CBR.
00:29:00Soaps/CBR/VBR
00:29:05Soapa hampered VBR.
00:29:14TrueJournalsI've heard that rockbox has problems with VBR a lot though... (I've never had any problems with VBR...)
00:29:29Soapthe only reason to use them is if you MUST know what the filesize will be +-N%
00:29:35linuxstbSo it's VBR, but with the encoder aiming for an average bitrate, rather than quality?
00:29:41Soapyep
00:29:46*linuxstb shudders
00:29:54TrueJournalsI'll go for VBR then :-p
00:29:55TrueJournalsthanks
00:30:06EsoterikQuick question.. the CVS builds for the ipod video. do those work for the 5.5g to?
00:30:19SoapTrueJournals: Lame 3.97 - standard switches, no fancy stuff.
00:30:23linuxstbEsoterik: Yes.
00:30:50 Join JdGordon [0] (n=jonno@rockbox/developer/JdGordon)
00:31:15SoapTrueJournals: throw out any switches you learned in the past. Stick with the stock -v new switches.
00:31:20linuxstbEsoterik: The only part of the 5.5g puzzle that isn't "official" is the bootloader. The official ipodpatcher, ipod_fw and daily/cvs builds are all compatible with the 30GB 5g.
00:31:37linuxstb^ I meant 30GB 5.5g
00:32:01linuxstbBut it hasn't really been announced anywhere yet...
00:32:12TrueJournalsSoap: Well, I don't go for just the LAME encoder... I'm using MediaMonkey... it has a bunch of presets so I was wondering what I should do... I saw "Near CD - ABR ..." and was curious
00:32:15 Quit Criamos ("( www.nnscript.de :: NoNameScript 4.03 :: www.XLhost.de )")
00:32:31Soapno
00:32:36Soapgo Lame 3.97
00:32:37TrueJournalsI decided to go for "Standard - ~192 kbps VBR"
00:32:38Soapnothing else.
00:32:41TrueJournalslol
00:32:45SoapI'm serious
00:32:50TrueJournalseh :-\
00:33:18*idnar goes with FLAC :)
00:33:31SoapI don't know what encoder MediaMonkey uses, but LAME is far and away the only MP3 encoder people should be using. Its maturity is leaps and bounds above all others.
00:34:20Soapyou can go with a VBR that will output files smaller than 192 average and sound superior in every way to a CBR or ABR 192.
00:35:28SoapPaul_the_Nerd: FWIW I get the same error with 0.4 he did.
00:35:36TrueJournalsI'm willing to bet MediaMonkey uses LAME
00:35:53TrueJournalsI'd be a bit surprised if it didn't...
00:36:36 Part homecable
00:36:45TrueJournalsah, not by default, but you can switch it to use LAME
00:36:57TrueJournalsdarn it... now I have to download LAME and reencode:-p
00:36:58Esoterikthats good to know, thanks. Well then can you help me with this, i got the CVS dailt build for my ipod 30gb and i extracted it to the ipod... when i boot it i get an error: -1. whats the cause?
00:37:11Soapmediamonkey standard does NOT use LAME by default.
00:39:01Soapcommand line switch
00:39:03Soap-V2 −−vbr-new
00:39:16Soapwill give you excellent quality at +- 192kb/s
00:39:31Soapsorry all for the off topic.
00:43:02linuxstbEsoterik: That means the bootloader can't find rockbox.ipod in the root of your ipod (i.e. E:\ if Windows shows it as drive E:)

00:48:27EsoterikHmm , the files are the but im still getting an error....the previous boot partions i made during the installation, do those need to be copied to the ipods root folder?
00:49:02 Quit MarcoPolo ("Bye !")
00:50:58Paul_the_NerdEsoterik: So, there is a file E:\rockbox.ipod (or whatever drive your ipod is, F:\, D:\, whatever)?
00:51:17Esoterikyes
00:51:31Paul_the_NerdAnd the iPod is fat32 formatted?
00:51:32 Quit TrueJournals ("See Ya")
00:51:39Esoterikyes
00:52:08Esoterikand when i disconnect the ipod , it boots up and then gives me the error and keeps reseting
00:53:50 Quit shnee (Operation timed out)
00:54:34Paul_the_NerdThat's very strange, because the -1 error specifically means that it can't find rockbox.ipod in the first Fat32 partition on the drive.
00:54:48 Quit My_Sic ("Miranda IM! Smaller, Faster, Easier. http://miranda-im.org")
00:54:54Paul_the_NerdSpecifically in the / or /.rockbox folders of that partition.
00:56:07Esoterikwell im curious about this... the partions that you make in the beginning of installation.. do i need to move those onto the ipod after they have been created? better yet is there any renaming of files that needs to be done?
00:56:27Paul_the_NerdWhat partitions are you talking about?
00:57:13Paul_the_NerdUnless you're fixing up an HFS+ formatted iPod, you don't do any partitioning during the install process.
00:57:48Paul_the_NerdIf you're referring to the bootpartition.bin file, that's not a partition you've created, it's a file containing the contents of one, and you're done with them once you've got the bootloader working (though the original bootpartition.bin should be kept as backup)
00:58:10Esoterikumm like rockboot , bootpartition , apple_sw_5g_rcsc and apple_os ... sorry i was using the wrong word... i ment BIN files, my mistake
00:59:04Paul_the_NerdThere are no install steps necessary beyond those in the instructions, so I'm not really sure why you're asking if any renaming or copying of those files is necessary, as if we left out steps that would be required for installing.
01:00
01:00:09Esoterikno no , i just thought i may have forgot to do something with the files as a possible fix thats all , sorry.
01:00:57Paul_the_NerdHonestly, the problem is either with the bootloader not seeing the rockbox.ipod file, or the rockbox.ipod file not actually being where the bootloader's looking, if that's the error message you get.
01:01:05Paul_the_NerdThere are other errors, but that one's pretty specific.
01:02:10EsoterikHmm, im gunna try a few things and see if i can get anything to work
01:03:36***Saving seen data "./dancer.seen"
01:03:48Esoterikthere is a line however after just booting it now that reads, "no boot partion found" , does this mean i messed up during my install?

01:28:35JdGordonwhat is the best way to figure out the stack usage of a function as it runs?
01:29:43linuxstbCan't you tell by just looking at what local variables are defined?
01:30:05linuxstbOr do you mean all the other functions it will call?
01:30:17JdGordonthe second
01:31:31linuxstbI don't know, but the debug screen tells you the maximum amount of stack a thread has used. Would that help?
01:31:58linuxstbIf you're getting stack overflows, then just increase the stack and then look at the debug screen to see what's being used.
01:32:17JdGordonIf i could get a better estimate for just the 1 functio and its calls it would be best... but if thats all there is i guess ill takeit
01:32:33linuxstbI think you're too late to get advice from people that know more than me...

01:38:05JdGordondamn, doesnt look like rockbox keeps a stack_top pointer or similar... oh well
01:39:00linuxstbI guess that's the SP register...
01:39:30JdGordonthats not available to the c code is it?
01:40:15linuxstbYou could probably use inline assembler to move it to a variable. But don't ask me how, especially on Coldfire.
01:40:44linuxstbOr when a thread yields, the registers are moved into the thread context buffer.
01:40:52*JdGordon gives up on this idea

03:58:59Paul_the_NerdI love it, we have one of the most advanced EQs on a portable device, and people dislike it because we don't have presets that completely negate the purpose of an EQ. :)

04:01:01Paul_the_NerdA simple WPS, or turning off the EQ, or any of the other normal methods of reducing skipping should work for your problem.
04:01:04scorcheso nothing that is time consuming is worthwhile?
04:01:19Paul_the_NerdAs well, ripping the CD to a faster format such as MP3 will also solve it
04:01:54scorcheeven if you know how to work an EQ, you still have to basically move the bars till it sounds right...you just know which bars to move

04:11:12Paul_the_NerdQ is the opposite of "how wide", so the lower the Q, the wider range it affects.
04:11:24Paul_the_NerdGain is, simply put, "How much is added or subtracted to the range"
04:11:34Paul_the_NerdAnd the other value affects where the range is measured from.

04:15:27SimonSelkiI can't hear any change in the way it sounds when I alter the EQ
04:15:40scorchedo you have the EQ on?
04:15:43Paul_the_NerdSoap: Well, I can't be angry with him for not understanding how the command prompt works. It's understandable that the average computer user is clueless as to how to get around without a mouse these days.
04:16:17Paul_the_NerdSoap: But not being able to make the connection between "error message" and "it doesn't work" pushes things a bit.
04:16:36SimonSelkioh, man
04:16:41Soapthe pictures were pretty, though.
04:16:43SimonSelkiI didn't know that was a seperate setting
04:17:10Paul_the_NerdEsoterik: Still getting the Error: -1?
04:17:21SimonSelkihah, that's amazing
04:17:22SimonSelkiAmen
04:17:34Paul_the_NerdSoap: The pictures made it immediately recognizable what was going wrong, which was handy
04:17:39Esoterikyes yes... ive tried reinstalling 3 times...and now im restarting over again and extracting it all out
04:20:08Paul_the_NerdIs yours a 5G or a 5.5G?

04:25:30Soap1 - backlight is the bane of all existance
04:25:45Soap2 - rockbox consumes significantly more power than Apple.
04:25:47egotrippenyou asked me if the 'insert fandom folders' patch still applies cleanly, i checked it out
04:25:49egotrippenit does =-)
04:25:58Soap3 - rockbox's battery gague is not the most accurate on the iPods.

04:31:06Paul_the_NerdAnd this is the original bootpartition.bin, created from a working iPod, you haven't done an ipodpatcher -r since then, at all?
04:32:01Esoteriknot that i know of... i am afraid however that i may have written over it when i tried reinstalling the second time... can that happen?
04:33:32Esoterikthe boot partion i have is 96mb
04:34:09Paul_the_NerdIt's possible that you extracted the file a second time, if you try installing twice in a row without restoring your iPod, and don't skip the first step.
04:34:39Paul_the_NerdIn which case, your best bet is to just use the Apple restore tool

04:34:55Soapwhat model ipod?
04:35:02jbahey guys, does rockbox random create a random list or just pick songs at random?
04:35:07Esoterikand i can get that just from a google search right?
04:35:14jbaas in if i press back, can i go to the last played song, or is it no capable of knowing that?
04:35:21JdGordonegotrippen: ok, just need to talk to the swedes abou lettng it be comited :p
04:35:30EsoterikSoap its 5.5g 30gb video
04:35:32Paul_the_Nerdjba: There is no "Random"
04:35:49jbaoh no
04:35:52Paul_the_Nerdjba: There is a Shuffle though, which shuffles your playlist, so you can even go to playlist view and see what the previous song was.
04:35:53*jba reals in horror
04:36:07jbaaah, that's mauch better, exactly what i wanted
04:36:44jbagigabeat random is shite, it either randomises everything or current directory only, so no luck if you want to randomise a particular genre and listen to it
04:38:39EsoterikPaul where can i get the restore utility?
04:39:20Paul_the_NerdEsoterik: The apple site? Make sure to back up your music from your iPod, if that's your only copy, as it'll reformat the device.
04:39:50Esoterikwill do
04:40:30jbaanyone know of any quick itunsdb to tag cache export tools around?

04:47:15egotrippenJdGordon: cool. good luck with it :)
04:47:18Esoteriki cant seemed to find one off apple so im trying this datadoctor recovery tool
04:47:35Paul_the_NerdWhich has nothing to do with iPods...
04:47:39Paul_the_NerdAnd isn't what I told you to do.
04:47:45Paul_the_NerdIt won't do what you want, at all.

04:51:26Esoterikcan i use HP fomrat tool and just repartion the entire drive?
04:52:16Paul_the_NerdYou need to use a tool specifically designed to restore iPods.
04:52:30Paul_the_NerdiTunes 7 will do it for you, as well there are older versions of stand-alone restore tools.
04:52:38Paul_the_NerdIf you're referring to the HP iPod tool, that ought to work

06:07:05Paul_the_NerdSo, which part of Texas are you in that you're not from? I'm curious now, because outside of Austin, most people tend to want to claim belonging to this massive lump of land.
06:07:24SimonSelkiI guessed that right when you said "bloody hell, another Texan."
06:07:33SimonSelkiI'm actually 20 miles from Austin
06:07:55SimonSelkiI am a Texan, but I know people who live here and aren't
06:08:02Paul_the_NerdWell then, I'm going to tell you right now, no matter how badly you screw up your iPod, I will never ever come take a look at it.
06:08:24Paul_the_NerdHeh
06:09:06SimonSelkibecause I live so far away, or because you disagree with austin? Or with Texas?
06:09:28SimonSelkiI've no loyalty to this state, it's political awareness and general education is a joke
06:09:34Paul_the_NerdHahaha
06:10:27SimonSelkiI'm not joking. I don't know what you know about austin, but it's basicly the liberal capital of the south

06:34:45Sumguy21It'll play them, it just won't make a database for them.
06:35:05Sumguy21It's teh format ipods use with default firmware
06:35:22Paul_the_NerdThe iPod uses mp4, m4a, and m4b
06:35:26amiconnJdGordon: For me the easiest way to find out how much stack a single function needs is checking the function head in assembler
06:35:43amiconnThat's where the space is reserved on stack

06:36:46Sumguy21Maybe I'm just doing it wrong?

06:39:47Paul_the_NerdSo, it's in a structure like \Artist\Album\Song.mp4 ?
06:40:09Paul_the_NerdOr Blah\Album\Artist\Song.m4a? The important question is whether it's in an album folder that's in an artist folder.
06:40:12Sumguy21In the ipod folder itself, or in the database?
06:40:19Paul_the_NerdYou said it wasn't in the database at all.

06:40:52Paul_the_NerdAnd I was asking about how the files were on the iPod
06:40:59Sumguy21Just in the root
06:41:27Paul_the_NerdAh, then if it's showing artist and album then yes, the metadata's fine. Many WPSes use the folder structure to make up for it if it's not found.

07:31:35JdGordonamiconn: hmm.. thats beyond me... I ended up creatiung a new thread to check it. the setting saving function is about 1.8kb!
07:32:02JdGordonand the ata thread is only 1kb
07:32:10amiconnyes
07:32:11JdGordonso either it gets added, or the saving stays async
07:32:22JdGordonadded/ increased
07:32:23amiconnOr the saving gets fixed
07:32:33amiconnWhy does settings save need 1.8KB?
07:32:48JdGordonive been playing in the function and there really isnt anything thats not needed
07:32:50amiconnThat makes no sense
07:32:50JdGordonno idea
07:33:29JdGordonthe only large vairable is a 256 byte array
07:33:59JdGordonmost of the functio is just fdprintf and strcpy
07:38:22JdGordonfor the time being, should I increase the ata thread stack to 2048 bytes?

07:42:28amiconnhmm
07:43:47Shadowimmagesomeone is here.
07:49:57amiconnJdGordon: open() (and hence creat() ) need quite some stack...
07:51:44amiconnopen itself has one file name buffer (260 bytes). It needs opendir in turn, which has another name buffer (260 bytes), and a struct fat_direntry, which is about the same size (a 256 byte buffer and some numbers)
07:52:51JdGordonok
07:53:07amiconnTogether with the buffer in settings_save_config() this already makes for >1KB
07:53:22amiconnNot yet sure where the rest comes from
07:53:44amiconnSeems we cannot get around increasing the ata stack size
07:54:10JdGordon:(

07:56:58amiconnSaving in the root would need less stack, but I don't think this is desirable
07:57:10amiconnI'd suggest trying 2K stack first
07:57:57JdGordonincreasing the stack mks the calbacks a bit more flexible anyway
07:58:39amiconnThe MMC stack is already big enough when hotswap is defined
07:58:50amiconnIt's even 3K
07:59:05JdGordonand without hotswap?
07:59:53amiconnThen it's only 1K
08:00
08:00:10amiconnWould need to be increased as well, just in case
08:00:31amiconnNormally hotswap is always defined for Ondio, but who knows...
08:00:39JdGordonwhat if the open buffers are moved to globals?
08:00:49*amiconn wonders how this stuff could be handled in ata_flash()
08:00:56amiconnata_flash.c even
08:01:19ShadowimmageI'm installing (trying to) rockbox on my H340, but theres like 8 versions of the firmware that I can download... so does it matter which one I use?
08:01:26amiconnThey can't. Imagine more than one thread doing file operations...

08:04:27LinusN?
08:04:28JdGordonata_flash.c is only used byt he ifp, and the ata callback stuff is disabled on it
08:04:33JdGordonso its no big deal
08:04:52amiconnYes, but how does the iFP save settings then?
08:05:06JdGordonin the main thread
08:05:21JdGordonsettins_save() will just run the actuall dumping funciton
08:05:37*Slasheri wonders why wont we just save the settings on every shutdown
08:05:41Shadowimmageok, not 8, but theres 4 in each version... http://www.rockbox.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/ManualRockboxInstall#iriver_jukeboxes 1.66US, 1.66EU, 1.66JP, 1.66K, ...then the 1.63US, 1.63EU, ....
08:06:09LinusNShadowimmage: it doesn't really matter
08:06:10amiconnSlasheri: This might not be possible (crash, empty battery, ...)
08:06:13JdGordonSlasheri: we do... but people want the settings saved more often in case is crashes

08:07:31Shadowimmagejust realized that I was looking at the wrong ones... sorry, mine are at the bottom for the H340... so nevermind
08:07:35LinusNSlasheri: we still want to save before the battery runs out
08:07:44amiconn(or, as it sometimes happens on Ondio, disconnecting batteries)
08:09:07LinusNSlasheri: also, the Recorder V1 and the Player can be shutdown at any time by holding the OFF/STOP button, and there will be no time to save the settings
08:09:52Slasherihmm, true
08:10:42LinusNbesides, i don't want my player to spin up when i shut it down if it isn't absolutely necesary
08:11:29amiconnJdGordon: Did you already try to separate these often-changing values from the 'normal' settings?
08:12:22JdGordonI did, but dont really see the need, because its stil writing to disk, so there is only a tiny speed difference between writing the whle file and writing just the frequently used ones
08:12:48LinusNJdGordon: the speed isn't the issue
08:12:57amiconnThe speed is not the only issue
08:13:12JdGordonthere is an increase in bin size if we add a special case for them
08:13:16amiconnThese ever-changing values are not really settings, and hence shouldn't be stored in a .cfg
08:13:26LinusNwe want to avoid a spinup on shutdown
08:13:44LinusNamiconn: that too
08:13:46amiconnI don't want that loading a .cfg changes my resume position, or battery runtime
08:14:17JdGordonhmm.. forgot about those settings
08:14:21amiconnAnd on targets with non-volatile memory (rtc ram, serial eeprom), these settings wouldn't be saved on disk

08:26:50JdGordonok, system setings are saving to system.cfg
08:29:04amiconnThey are not really settings. I think saving them to a binary file and not needing all those min/max/step/name entries should be code size neutral
08:29:16*corevette is tired.
08:29:43JdGordonits easier this way, they wont get the min/max/step text anyway
08:29:56JdGordonI implemented it using 2 fd's so just switchin between them
08:30:03amiconnIt's not easier
08:30:27amiconnIt's perhaps easier for targets without non-volatile memory, but it means more ifdefing
08:30:42JdGordonwhy?
08:31:06JdGordonand system "settings" and non-volatile "settings" are not nessaceraly the same
08:31:08amiconnIf you make it a separate function, this function would then be filled with the appropriate nvmem access code instead of file code
08:31:30amiconnWhere are they different?
08:31:42JdGordonwhy are they the same?
08:31:50JdGordondoh, misread
08:32:41amiconnI can only think of the follwoing values which I see as status values rather than settings: resume position, battery current runtime & top runtime, dircache size
08:33:13 Quit menosm_ (Read error: 110 (Connection timed out))
08:33:24JdGordondoing it as text means that we dont have the current problem of outdating the config file
08:33:38amiconnThose values won't outdate easily
08:33:55JdGordonthe order may change, so they could
08:33:56amiconnThe settings should of course be text
08:34:16amiconnWhy would the order of these few values change? How often would that happen?
08:35:07JdGordonbecause with the list, you dont have to add new values at the end like currently, you add them where they are logically placed. Adding new rtc/system values would invalidate the bin file
08:35:36amiconnNo, it wouldn't if you add them at the end
08:35:46JdGordonbut why add that restriction?
08:35:52amiconnWhy not?
08:35:56JdGordonsettings get lost that way
08:35:59amiconnHey, they are just 4 values now
08:36:09JdGordonnot lost, but order is nice
08:36:14amiconnPerhaps you don't understand what I mean
08:36:36amiconnThe _configurable settings_ should of course be text, and the order doesn't matter anymore
08:36:39JdGordonno, i do.. i guess it depends how the file is written
08:36:55amiconnBut the _status values_ should be binary, and the order does matter
08:37:19amiconnHowever, the status values will change very rarely, if ever
08:37:35amiconnOf course I mean their number, not the contents ;)

08:38:08JdGordonthe way rtc settigns are written now is like this. the list is iterated through, and each rtc setting uses the next 4 bytes of the ram. no other information is needed except the rtc veriso which is saved. it makes very simple loading but means you cant add rtc settings between 2 other ones without invaliding it
08:38:21amiconnLinusN: Did you read my statements regarding CACR? Turned out I was wrong about CINV (bit 24), but what about bit 9?

08:40:03amiconn..at least on some targets without other nvmem devices
08:40:34Slasheriwriting to flash from core?
08:40:45amiconnYeah, not very nice...
08:41:12Slasherii have also thought something like that but didn't see it really useful enough
08:41:46Slasheriand flash will wear out something like 10x sooner than eeprom
08:42:11amiconnHow many cycles does the eeprom datasheet state?
08:42:16 Join ender` [0] (n=ender@84.52.165.220)
08:42:30amiconnThe flash eproms in our targets are specced 100.000 cycles
08:42:36Slasherii am not sure if iirc, but i think it was 100 000 for eeprom and for flash 10 000
08:42:42Slasheribut might be even more
08:43:00amiconn...and with a full block, you don't need to erase & rewrite every time
08:43:13Slasheriok, then it was probably 1M for eeprom
08:43:24Slasherishould be enough if we save just on every shutdown
08:43:28amiconnJust append until block is full, then erase once
08:43:32Slasheritrue
08:44:08Slasheribut then it would be necessary to move the CFI code from a plugin to the core..
08:44:24Slasheriand on irivers, last block is reserved for the bootloader
08:44:36Slasheriand there is no free blocks unless original fw is removed
08:45:50Slasheriand with OF removed, we could as well use the eeprom

11:15:51JdGordonto disk
11:16:15JdGordonwell, the ata_write_sectors() returns 0 which it shhuold
11:17:21peturallright, let me try again

11:21:28peturmaybe it shuts down before it gets the time to actually write to disk?
11:21:43JdGordonno, logf shows it does do the write
11:22:06peturno it doesn't. The disk does _not_ spin up
11:23:09 Quit Arathis (Client Quit)
11:23:11Slasheriah..
11:23:19Slasherii think what is wrong with that
11:23:46JdGordonit does do the write.. it does it when boot finishes and the dsk spins down, if nothin changes between then and shutdown it shouldnt spin the disk
11:23:49Slasheriit has settings_save() after building the dircache but global_settings.dircache_size has not been set yet
11:23:55Slasheriso it basically saves nothing
11:23:58JdGordonOH!
11:24:06Slasheriit needs to do: global_settings.dircache_size = dircache_get_cache_size();
11:24:10Slasheribefore calling settings_save()
11:24:13JdGordonwhen goes that var get set?
11:24:20Slasheriin tree.c on shutdown
11:24:33JdGordonwtf? why the hec there?
11:25:06Slasheriit may change while rockbox is running
11:25:08JdGordonit shhuold be don in dircache_build().. no?
11:25:12Slasherino
11:25:16LinusNit should definitely not do a settings_save on shutdown
11:25:56Slasheridircache itself is firmware level code, so it doesn't know about global_settings
11:26:06LinusNSlasheri: it should probably do a settings_save when the dircache size changes, but not on every shutdown
11:26:29LinusNcould it perhaps keep track if the size has changed since the last save?
11:26:33SlasheriLinusN: hmm, maybe. Probably a callback function needs to be implemented then
11:27:03Slasherihmm, yes. Or for example on shutdown, we could compare dircache_size and the value returned by dircache
11:27:08Slasheriand if it's different, then call settings_save
11:27:15LinusNsounds fair
11:27:32JdGordonshould the dircache code call settings_save() when the size changes?
11:27:39JdGordoninstead of the apps/ code?
11:27:39Slasherino
11:27:54Slasherino firmware -> apps level calls
11:28:03JdGordonah, righto
11:28:44JdGordonyou mentioned the callback then, thats not technically a firmware->apps call
11:28:53JdGordonI dont think tree.c shhuold handle this
11:29:02Slasheriyep, call back could be one (more complex) solution too
11:29:51Slasheritree needs to handle at least disabling and re-enabling dircache when usb connection occurs
11:30:23amiconndircache_size isn't a setting (in the terms I explained this morning), but a status variable
11:30:25 Join spiorf [0] (n=spiorf@host38-158.pool8252.interbusiness.it)
11:30:59amiconnAnd these should be handled on shutdown, as they're practically always changing
11:31:26LinusNagree
11:32:04JdGordonthat bassically forces a write every shutdown
11:32:33peturonly if dircache changed
11:33:00JdGordonruntime is another status variable which is guarenteed to be different every reboot
11:33:28LinusNi think runtime should be optional
11:34:42Slasherii think it should be allowed for disk to spin-up on every shutdown and do as much processing as possible to get a fast bootup
11:35:04Slasheriof course with archos that wouldn't be possible
11:35:55amiconnresume position will also be different every time
11:36:21amiconn...unless you don't play any music during the session, or have no resume pos both before & after
11:37:04amiconnAnd we can ensure that disk only spins up when the values have changed for real
11:37:34JdGordondoh! I found out why it writes twice on shutdown... tree_flush() should be before call_ata_idle_notifys() not after in system_flush();
11:37:39JdGordoncould explain why nothing saves
11:39:32*amiconn thinks the whole ata flush in special situations (shutdown, usb) needs to be doubled-checked
11:40:31JdGordonyay! its really working this tim

11:50:16JdGordondid you update the codecs also?
11:50:33silentalexnop
11:50:39JdGordonthts your problem
11:50:45silentalexcheers
11:51:06silentalexi just downloaded the latest release
11:51:17JdGordonyou need to extrct the whole rockbox.zip file

11:53:19JdGordonnot just rockbox.ipod
11:57:43*petur tries latest cvs
11:57:49silentalexwhen i click the 'latest' it just gives me the .ipod file
11:58:06bluebrothersilentalex: that page has only zip archives
11:58:24bluebrotherand in that archive is a folder called .rockbox
11:58:33bluebrother(and the file rockbox.ipod)
11:58:41JdGordonsilentalex: right click on the .zip and go extract
11:58:43bluebrotherdepending on your OS that folder may be hidden.
11:58:54silentalexi'm using a mac .
11:58:55JdGordondont open it, because you cant see the .rockbox file inside
11:58:58JdGordonbah
11:59:09silentalexthats why i can't see the hidden folder!
11:59:10bluebrotheron windows you can see the folder
11:59:16JdGordonyou can?
11:59:23*JdGordon hasnt used windows in quite a while
11:59:31silentalexcheers guys!
11:59:32bluebrotheryes. Only unix hides files starting with a dot
11:59:42silentalexthats true
11:59:53bluebrotheron linux I usually just do "unzip -d <path to player> rockbox.zip

12:00:07bluebrotherwindows uses a special file attribute to hide files
12:00:22peturJdGordon: seems like your commit solves the dircache scanning splash issue. Great work.

12:00:54silentalexi'll swith to windows for the download job then and i'll come back to tell you what happened
12:01:02silentalex:)
12:01:20bluebrotherthere is no problem in downloading the file from a non-windows system
12:01:29bluebrotherI do that frequently (linux)
12:01:48silentalexhow can i see the hidden in mac?
12:01:56bluebrotherunzipping from a terminal works without any problems.
12:01:58silentalexi'm a new user in mac
12:02:33bluebrotherI don't know os x. But I guess you could also open up a xterm and run unzip manually from there.
12:05:39silentalexi prefer to swith to windows for now , and experiment later on this. rockbox is a priority for the time
12:06:21silentalexmay i ask another 'silly' question?

12:50:10jhMikeSnever noticed too much lag myself though...only on the H120 with fading

13:36:29CassandraI'm with amiconn on that.
13:36:58JdGordonSlasheri: unless you want to split these vars out of global_settings that cant be done
13:37:08Slashericould be even something like firmware/eeprom_settings.h struct (containing checksum at the end of struct)
13:37:16jhMikeStext is better since there's no need for a version or particular positions of items
13:37:27JdGordonjhMikeS got it on one!

13:37:56Slasherifor example global_settings and global_state or something like that :D
13:38:32CassandraJdGordon, I thought that was precisely what the old archos disk sector stored config was.

13:42:14jhMikeSHaving a lists of structures with the size, name, and data for each setting could be binary and be version free
13:43:31JdGordonthis has all the info for every setting used.. http://rafb.net/paste/results/xbbQh561.html only settings made with the SYSTEM_ITEM() macro are the ones we are dealing with. If we store in binary then a versio number needs to be kept or you have to keep adding system items after the last system_item (regula items will be skipped). saving as text means we dont need to worry abou the order
13:44:38JdGordon... of course, that version will need to be kept for nvmem settins anyway, but I stll prefer the text :p
13:45:39jhMikeSso my global_state (a.k.a. "the big board") idea mentioned a couple weeks ago is catching fire...? ;)
13:46:47JdGordon... silence means I win.... :D

13:48:56leonardhi there. any sandisk e200 programer here?
13:49:34Bagderleonard: what do you wanna know?
13:50:38leonardwell, I'm an embeded programer ARM programer (I do nintendo GBA and DS)
13:50:56leonardI want to get info about SDK or something like to display a filled vector 3d cube on my sansa
13:51:14leonardwanted some technical information (speed of LCD VRAM write, etc)
13:51:16Bagderleonard: install the compiler, build rockbox, install it, run it, view the cube plugin! ;-)
13:51:41leonardthere already is a cube plugin?
13:51:44Bagderyeps
13:51:45leonardwoow great ! :-)
13:52:12CassandraIt used to be a wirebox cube but amiconn has too much time on his hands, you see.
13:52:27leonardhumm I have to get CVS to get source code? (no SVN database? :-()
13:52:39Cassandra(way before the Sansa was even a twinkle in Sandisk's eye)
13:52:55Bagderleonard: yeps, get it from cvs and build a crosscompiler with tools/rockboxdev.sh in case you don't have any around
13:53:17Cassandrabagder - any news of that server space yet, btw?
13:53:36leonardhummm unfortunatly I'm not familiar with these linux/gcc stuff (I used ARM compiler for GBA, not GCC)
13:53:57markunleonard: which ARM compiler?
13:54:03LinusNthen use cygwin
13:54:03BagderCassandra: for now, I can copy things there for you as the server isn't yet setup to allow "external" logins properly
13:54:38Bagdercompilers are compilers all over
13:54:48Bagderunless you confuse them with IDEs
13:54:51leonard"arm software development toolkit"
13:54:56BagderI've used that too
13:54:59Bagderits just a compiler
13:55:01Cassandrabagder - not really useful for testing, but thanks. I'll make test versions that use my own web space for now I guess.
13:55:05leonardyep
13:55:09leonardI agree bagder
13:55:15 Quit spiorf (Remote closed the connection)
13:55:21markunBagder: does it produce better code than gcc?
13:55:24leonardjust I have a working "makefile" and I don't touch it anymore :-)
13:55:28linuxstbCassandra: Which version of wxWidgets are you using for rbutil?
13:55:35leonardARM produces better code yes
13:55:42Bagdermarkun: I think they claim so but I've never done any proper benchmarking
13:55:45leonardgcc is a bit slower
13:55:52Cassandralinuxstb, I'll be moving to 2.8 as soon as it's released.
13:55:57leonard(for ARM7 instead, dn't know really for ARM9 cpu)
13:56:03CassandraSince it has some features I'd like to use.
13:56:33CassandraCurrently 2.7.0-1 becaise that was the latest when I last downloaded.
13:56:41linuxstbCassandra: Yes, I'm waiting for 2.8.0 as well and then I'll upgrade all my environments (native Linux, cross-compiling win32 from Linux, and Mac OS X).
13:56:46leonardI do lots of "speed" stuff on GBA (3d filled vector)
13:56:58leonardif someone want to see my gba project, just look on my web page:
13:57:05leonardleonard.oxg.free.fr">http://leonard.oxg.free.fr
13:57:13leonardgo in the "gba" in the left frame
13:58:07Bagderouh, you could _click_ on them...
13:58:22markunleonard: does the GBA have any special DSP or graphics chip or is it all just ARM?
13:58:23leonardi'm browsing the CVS repository, but I don't see anything about 3d "plugins" you told me...
13:58:33Bagder"click here to download plugin" ;-)
13:58:35leonardGBA is only a ARM processor
13:58:44leonardthere is a chip to display 2d sprite (with rotation)
13:58:48Bagderleonard: the cube plugin is a rotating 3d cube
13:58:55leonardbut there is *nothing* for 3d or polygon filler
13:58:56markunleonard: apps/plugins/cube.c
13:59:06linuxstbDoes it have two ARMs, or I am thinking of the DS?
13:59:23JdGordonand two LEGs also :p
13:59:38leonardyou're thinking about the DS
13:59:48leonardDS has a 3d chipset (and hardware polygon filler)
13:59:51leonardGBA has not
14:00
14:00:20Genre9mp3markun: Thinking of a GBA emulator on Gigabeat? :P
14:00:25markun:)
14:00:33leonardI'm reading the cube.c
14:00:34markunhey, stop reading my mind..
14:00:44*Cassandra has been wondering how much work it would be to homebrew Rockbox for the DS.
14:00:47leonardI have done a *very* small filled 3d cube on ARM for a contest
14:00:56Bagderleonard: you can also build and run rockbox as a simulator on your host
14:01:08leonardmy GBA file is 424 bytes long (consider there is 160bytes for nintendo official header)
14:01:34BagderI can see how amiconn will like you ;-)
14:01:42linuxstbCassandra: Also, we (as www.rockbox.org) should be able to do automatic nightly builds of rbutil - I'll try and fix the Makefile for that once 2.8.0 is out.
14:01:42leonardbagder, could you explain? there is rockbox simulator on PC platform? (windows?)
14:01:59Cassandrabagder - re download - it is possible that webdav may be your friend. Or my friend. Or something.
14:02:03Bagderleonard: yes, get the code and build a simulator and it'll simulate all the lowlevel stuff and run in a window
14:02:10Genre9mp3GBA has an ARM7 right?
14:02:19leonardyes genre9mp3
14:02:21daurnimatori've always wanted to dev for gba
14:02:23daurnimatornever had the time
14:02:28leonardwhich processor has the sandisk e200 serie?
14:02:39Cassandralinuxstb, I'm not sure there's a necessity, really.
14:02:39Bagderleonard: PP5024
14:02:47Bagderwhich is an ARM7TDMI core
14:02:55leonarddon't know that ARM. similar to ARM7 ? ARM 9?
14:03:02markunleonard: rasher.dk/rockbox/simulator/">http://rasher.dk/rockbox/simulator/
14:03:03leonardok so similar to arm7
14:03:10Bagderit is arm7
14:03:29leonardnice !
14:03:42leonardI don't put my little cube contest on my webpage
14:03:45Bagdereven two of them ;-)
14:03:49leonardI'll add these context
14:04:01leonardI have written a very fast JPEG display routine for GBA too
14:04:09leonardyou can see my app here:
14:04:15leonardhttp://microphoto.free.fr
14:04:21linuxstbCassandra: OK, but I'll be creating a Makefile for that anyway, so it would be easy to do if it's ever needed.
14:04:34leonardthis is a BMP previous version, but I have a fast jpeg decoder now (on ARM7)
14:05:00LinusNleonard: binaries without source code aren't that impressive
14:05:34leonardwhy linus?
14:05:58Cassandralinuxstb, yeah - we'll certainly be needing a Makefile.
14:06:12CassandraFor Mac if for nothing else.
14:06:21LinusNleonard: because we like open source
14:06:26linuxstbCassandra: Did you see my commit this morning?
14:06:40markunleonard: and because we don't all have a GBA to try your binaries
14:06:46CassandraI hope someone will come forward and take on Mac development, since I don't think I can afford a Mac Mini just for that purpose.
14:06:50leonardyes I get the point :-)
14:07:03linuxstbCassandra: I have that.
14:07:20leonardon my website there is a web gba emulator, you can see two of my productions (a 3d movie and a YM2149 sounchip music demo)
14:07:22Bagderleonard: by all means, feel free to improve whatever you find in Rockbox that isn't good enough ;-)
14:07:32leonardshould run on any java compatible browser
14:07:45Cassandralinuxstb, nah - missed it. main.c was a mistake. Wasn't part of the project.
14:07:47Bagderthat's not mine :-)
14:07:50Cassandramain.cpp
14:07:52Bagderjava enabled that is
14:08:04leonardbagder, I'd really love to change something in rockbox, first I have to get the environment
14:08:12LinusNleonard: if you are a ninja ARM hacker, we could sure use your skills to optimize our codecs
14:08:31CassandraYes, please. Optimise our codecs. We love the battery life.
14:08:40linuxstbCassandra: Hopefully it will "just work" on a Mac... The only thing I think we'll struggle with is finding where the disk is mounted. How do you handle that in Windows?
14:08:47leonardthe project is really cool for me, I'd like to optimize thing.
14:09:02LinusNthen we may even like you ;-)
14:09:04linuxstbWe also have an MPEG video decoder in need of ARM optimisations...
14:09:06leonardwhat kind of codec did rockbox suport? DIVx, MP3, OGG Vorbis?
14:09:06Bagderhahaha
14:09:33linuxstbleonard: Rockbox is 99% audio. Video playback is just in the early developmental stages.
14:09:34Cassandralinuxstb, standard file browser, on the assumption was that that was the most portable way I could do it.
14:09:47leonardother question: why don't switch to SVN instead? CVS is a bit old and has no "atomic" commit
14:09:55leonardaudio ok
14:09:58peturhahaha
14:10:04linuxstbCassandra: So maybe it will just work without any effort on Linux and Mac OS...
14:10:12LinusNleonard: http://www.rockbox.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/SoundCodecs
14:10:16Cassandraleonard, we ask ourselves that question a lot.
14:10:27LinusNwe are planning to move to svn
14:10:36CassandraI think the answer is "no-one really has the time to move the repository".
14:10:53LinusNit's not only about moving the repo
14:11:07LinusNit's about adapting all the autobuild scripts
14:11:11CassandraWell, "and the associated infrastructure"
14:11:15LinusN:-)
14:11:15leonardok I understand. time is really missing to anybody...
14:11:30LinusNamen to that
14:11:43leonardbut if you move to SVN it will help a lot (I'm familiar to SVN and Tortoise under windows os)
14:11:58LinusNhow would it help us "a lot"?
14:12:15peturleonard: there's also a toirtoise for cvs ;)
14:12:17Bagderleonard: cvs and svn are very similar usage-wise
14:12:24CassandraActually what I really need to improve my development is a chair that doesn't leave me in pain.
14:13:09leonardys similar but not atomic commit, which is great feature when several people are working closely together
14:13:17leonardanyway CVS is not a problem I agree
14:13:26Bagderleonard: we have _never_ suffered from the lack of atomic commits
14:13:38Bagderand we are 60 committers in a 5 years old project
14:13:41leonardlooking at the codec page, did these codecs work at full speed on a sansa e200? (especially ogg vorbis?)
14:14:22Bagderwe don't have sound on the sansa yet
14:14:33Bagderbut they're expected to run fine on it
14:14:40amiconnCassandra: Filled triangles aren't really difficult...
14:15:05leonardfilled triangle are not difficuult. FAST cliped and filled triangles are ! :-)
14:15:32markunleonard: but optimising for Ogg Vorbis (Tremor) are always welcome
14:16:01leonardI said ogg vorbis because the decoder is quite complex (and tremor library is already well optimized)
14:16:18leonardI can optimise filled vector routines, and JPEG routine
14:16:31Bagderhehe, not really our primary focus
14:16:31leonardI'm afraid I'm not specialisit in ogg vorbis (neither in MP3)
14:17:20leonardjust for info, wich frequency runs the ARM7 of the sandisk e200? and how many fast RAM is there? (GBA is 14Mhz with 32Kb of very fast 32bits RAM)
14:17:28markunleonard: the imdct could be replaced by a FFT + some other things. Maybe with a FFT in assembler this will speed up things a bit.
14:17:41Cassandralinuxstb, was it you who was asking about portability, btw? I've just added full support for storing local config on the device.
14:18:04markunleonard: the ARM9 in the Toshiba Gigabeat runs at 300MHz :)
14:18:06 Join barrywardell [0] (n=barrywar@dhcp-892b7bf0.ucd.ie)
14:18:06Bagderleonard: there are two cores at up to 75MHz (I believe)
14:18:14amiconnleonard: Dual ARM7TDMI core with 128K SRAM
14:18:23Cassandra(and for installing rbutil to the device, but I'm experiencing technical issues with that.)
14:18:32amiconnWe run it up to 75MHz, it's specced 100MHz afaik
14:18:38Bagderwow
14:18:48amiconnSansa is PP5024, correct?
14:18:52Bagderyes
14:18:53leonardtwo ARM at 75Mhz ?? wooww !! :-) and is it fast to write something on the LCD screen? (is the screen memory mapped, 16bits per pixel, as GBA?=
14:19:20LinusNSlasheri: how about updating the scheduler Wiki page? (nag nag)
14:19:22amiconnWe only use one core right now
14:19:34amiconnGetting the cop to work seems to be somewhat diffcult
14:20:05Cassandraamiconn: have you tried voodoo?
14:20:09leonardI guess. I know multi-threading is not really easy, and even more on unknow system using reverse enginering :-)
14:20:13amiconnBagder: PP5022 (mini G2) is also specced 100MHz, and I successfully ran it at 96MHz
14:20:18SlasheriLinusN: ah, still quite out of time :/
14:20:25LinusN:-)
14:20:38leonardso do you have an idea of how fast is ti to write pixels on MCD? (on sandisk e200?)
14:20:50Bagderleonard: feel free to try and measure
14:20:59leonardLCD sorry (not mcd)
14:21:06amiconnSomeone should run test-fps.rock on Sansa
14:21:14Bagderdan_a did
14:21:20Bagderit doesn't really work
14:21:27Bagderas the LCD on the sansa is different
14:21:40 Quit JoeBorn (Success)
14:21:43Bagderor rather, he got 14000 FPS
14:21:45leonardok. well I don't have my sandisk right now (chrismas gift) I just wanted to know if someone has tryed it yet (is there a Vertical blank, etc...).
14:21:47Bagder:-)
14:22:05leonard14000 fps s a decent framerate :-)
14:22:13amiconnTh3e lcd update needs to wait for the lcd to finish
14:22:15leonardbut maybe its profiler was a bit wrong :-)
14:22:24Bagderamiconn: yeah
14:22:31Bagderleonard: indeed it was
14:23:02amiconnOtherwise the drawing might really mess up. All current drawing relies on lcd_update() being synchronous

14:24:54bkFix for rbutil compiling on linux: http://www.rockbox.org/tracker/task/6430
14:24:59leonardwell I'm trying to run the rockbox simulator (windows)
14:25:08leonardI downloaded the "ipod nano" simulator
14:25:24Kasperlewow. bk? is that you?
14:25:29leonardwhen running "rockboxui.exe", I only get a window with some graphical glitch, nothing more
14:25:30bkyup
14:25:32leonardam I right?
14:26:42linuxstbbk: Why hardcode 2.6?
14:27:34bkBecause it works. :) I don't know much about how wx versions includes, some mailing list postings I came across recommended that fix
14:27:43linuxstbbk: Also, should the hyperlink stuff be #ifdef'd out if it's unavailable on certain platforms?
14:27:51Bagderleonard: you could read up on the details, like on how to create a simulated root dir and you can use −−background etc
14:28:15bkyes, probably #ifdef'd but I'm not sure how bad that breaks the About dlg.
14:28:22Genre9mp3leonard: btw... the numpad is your friend for operating the sim ;)
14:28:42linuxstbbk: I would rather wait for 2.8.0 to be released ("any day now"), and then we can try and make rbutil work with that on all platforms.
14:29:17leonardthanks bagder... humm seems I have a lot of work reading carefully anythin before displaying anything on my sandisk :-)
14:29:33bkfair enough, although the lag will be significant for many/most Linux distros
14:29:37Bagderleonard: I disagree
14:29:46Bagderalmost all the hard work is already done
14:29:54leonardhow can I launch the 3d cube plugin on simulator for ex?
14:29:56Bagderunless you consider reading wiki hard work
14:30:23Bagderview the manu, select view plugins, select the plugin
14:30:25Bagdermenu
14:30:52barrywardelllinuxstb: did you give Bagder my universal ipod_fw?
14:31:06CassandraI'm pretty much going to insist on using 2.8. More and more things I want to do don't work without it.
14:31:18leonardhummm when I click "menu" on the ipod bitmap nothing append :-(
14:31:31Bagderclick?
14:31:38Bagderyou press keys to operate it
14:31:40leonardwhith the mouse?
14:31:41Genre9mp3[15:28] <Genre9mp3> leonard: btw... the numpad is your friend for operating the sim ;)
14:31:43leonardkeyboard only?
14:32:00leonardah ok :-)
14:32:05Genre9mp3press "." for the menu
14:32:09leonard224686
14:32:34leonardsorry
14:32:39leonardbad focus :-)
14:32:49leonardyeah I have a spining cube ! :-)
14:32:54leonardgreat !
14:33:54leonardi understand more well the simulator
14:33:59leonardvery good job guys !
14:34:32Bagder:-)
14:34:32leonardso the cube plugin is compiled for each hardware? (for the screen size I guess?)
14:34:47Bagdereverything is compiled for the specific target
14:34:54leonardok
14:35:17leonardto install the right GCC , is there an installer, or do I have to install the toolchin myself?
14:35:32Bagderthere's lots of help to do that
14:35:39barrywardellBagder: I think linuxstb wanted this put up on downloads.rockbox.org: barrywardell/assets/files/ipod_fw">http://barrywardell/assets/files/ipod_fw
14:35:49Bagderprebuilt cygwin package, prebuilt for vmware or a shell script for any-linux
14:35:55barrywardellit's a version compiled for both intel and ppc macs
14:36:16leonardok
14:36:36Bagderbarrywardell: I bet you forgot something in that host name? ;-)
14:36:38leonarddid the original sandisk e200 firmware work on the simulator?
14:36:58Bagderleonard: no, its not an emulator it doesn't run native ARM code
14:37:15barrywardelloh yeah, it should be barrywardell.net/assets/files/ipod_fw">http://barrywardell.net/assets/files/ipod_fw
14:37:38leonardok bagder I see the point
14:37:49Bagderbarrywardell: done!
14:38:03barrywardellthanks
14:38:19leonardok one last question:
14:38:48leonardis it hard to flash my e200 sandisk with a rockbox, and is it easy to flash back the original firmware?
14:38:58leonard(and is it safe? :-))
14:39:09Bagderit is reasonably safe and it is easy
14:39:50barrywardellleonard: there is a dual-boot bootloader on the way. it will give the option to boot either rockbox or the of
14:40:06leonarddual boot is a very , very cool idea !

15:30:10webguest20Yesterday I asked about the problem I had with running tools/configure under cygwin. I solved the problem. I run cygwin install without actually installing any packages, and just set the line ends to DOS. That did the trick.
15:31:03webguest20Although cygwin recommends to use UNIX line ends I set them to DOS since wincvs (the program I use for CVS updates) creates files with DOS cr/lf's.
15:32:38webguest20Frankly said I didn't know what cr/lf setting I've been using before. I thought I had all the default cygwin settings, i.e. UNIX. But this was probably wrong.

15:42:36webguest20*mistaken
15:43:08linuxstbcommand-line CVS runs under Cygwin, so it should do whatever Cygwin is setup to do.
15:43:23linuxstbAnd yes, there are text/binary files in CVS.

15:45:58Bagdera "DOS window" is not cygwin, right?

16:27:44webguest99Hello. I've seen some activity in the task FS #5049. Does this mean that the patch is enqueued for working on it? Or was it just tidying up FS?
16:28:03preglowtidying, probably
16:28:41webguest99If there were enough will to incorporate the patch I'd synch it with CVS
16:29:03preglowdoesn't look like a bad idea, really

16:29:36preglowbut i won't ever use it, so
16:30:15preglowbut it kinda makes sense to not restrict the startup screen functionality to recording, that's for sure
16:30:16webguest99One obvious virtue: one setting instead of currently two ("resume on startup" and "start in recording screen") which are contradictory
16:30:42preglowalso a good point
16:31:04linuxstbLast time it was discussed, I thought the conclusion was that someone should implement a higher-level "root menu", and all the other screens are called from there. That FS task would then just specify which of the options in the root menu would be auto-selected on boot.
16:31:11linuxstb(but I could be mis-remembering...)
16:31:56Bagderand we should "flatten" the code that deals with the screens
16:31:57preglowsounds like that would lead to less code
16:32:08webguest99linuxstb: I think you're right. But that would be a major undertaking. The patch makes in a "milder" way
16:32:56webguest99"milder" but (I agree) not very elegant −− less elegant than would be possible with the "flat screens"
16:33:33preglowpeople need to donate more so we can hire contributors to implement features!

19:12:48liquid_ravenHi, I've been using the daily build(s) of rockbox on my iPod Photo (60GB) for a while and it's been running fine, except rockbox, seemingly without any reason, freezes about two to three times an hour, sometimes more sometimes less
19:12:50lowlightso it evaluates like #if a || (b && c)...if that's the case, there's no yield for S3C2440 (gigabeat)

21:20:34amiconnn1s: You can't just remove a function from the plugin api. This makes the api incompatible, so both PLUGIN_API_VERSION and PLUGIN_MIN_API_VERSION would need to be bumped
21:20:58n1syes I know, but I wasn't sure if you wanted to remove those
21:21:06amiconnNo I don't
21:21:31amiconnThere are some more, but I mainly want to do the static'ing first

23:21:24n1sArathis: http://www.rockbox.org/tracker/task/6421
23:21:33Doomedwhich means it will be defaulted to have longer battery life?

23:22:04Arathiscaused freeze ast time I just it. to sad I don't have time atm :/
23:22:10Bagderit was made an option because it actually wasn't the most powersaving on some archos models, iirc
23:23:08Arathisin my opinion a grate deal of open source and rocbox is, that you can _choose_
23:23:23n1sBagder: it is only enabled for recorders currently because it can make players crash, but please elaborate.
23:23:24amiconnBagder: That's not true
23:23:38Bagderthat's my recollection
23:23:48amiconnDisk poweroff always saves more power, but spinups will take a little longer

23:29:43amiconnpreglow: Test builds should tell me...
23:30:36_ken1s, what files do i have to delete if want to do that manually?
23:30:56preglowamiconn: yeah, just mentioning it since assemblers sometimes accept weird stuff ;)
23:31:09amiconnYes, but the linker will complain...
23:31:19n1s_ke: any files named something with database in the .rockbox directory
23:31:38preglowanyways, i guess it's not that important in codecs
23:31:58amiconnNo, the core is most important, but in the codecs it might still be usefull
23:32:52_ken1s, also the database_idx? whats up with tagcache there?
