00:06:36DerPapstwhat?
00:06:45DerPhilhow can i view album art?

00:07:48LloreanDerPhil: Album Art isn't an official feature of Rockbox at this time.
00:07:54DerPhilwell i think the prob is that theres only a solution in which you can show a bitmap placed in the folder beside the songs but no version for showing album art saved in the id3 tags, no?
00:08:18DerPhilwhat does it mean: database is not ready?
00:10:45LloreanDerPhil: It's not supported period. What you're talking about is an entirely unofficial patch.
00:10:53Llorean"Database is not ready" means you haven't initialized the database.
00:11:30 Quit petur ("sssssssssss---------PLOP!")
00:11:58DerPhilbut the patch exists?
00:12:14DerPhilk one thing left: can i change the height and the font of the header?
00:13:22linuxstbNo
00:13:43linuxstbBut a WPS can have a fully-customised status bar
00:14:42tehsmoeww, album art comes in id3s?
00:15:03n1ssometimes...
00:15:04DerPapstyes
00:15:21tehsmothat must be a hell of a nasty hack
00:15:26DerPapstno
00:15:42tehsmogranted, id3 tags in general are a hack
00:16:01DerPapst^^
00:16:14DerPapstitunes can sore albumart in id3 tags
00:16:19tehsmoah
00:16:29DerPapstand i think windows mediaplayer to
00:16:38DerPapstit displayes them at least
00:16:42tehsmoah
00:18:17*DerPapst starts hating maya
00:18:52LloreanThe advantage of the patch's way of doing it include only having one file per album, the option to easily have art per individual file with it defaulting back to an album file if not present for that one, and the ability to include album art even for untaggable formats.
00:19:23*DerPapst hopes maya didn't hear it... otherwise it will crash instandly

02:01:28SimonSelkiHi all.
02:01:50SimonSelkiI just installed rockbox on my friends 30gig iPod Video for him
02:02:11SimonSelkiis it typical for the menues to operate so slow?
02:02:39SimonSelkiand also, when running the original firmware, it still doesn't drain the battery twice as much, does it?
02:05:27hcsany advice on defragging my DAP's FAT32 drive under linux? the best advice I've found online so far is just to copy everything off and reformat
02:05:43LloreanSimonSelki: Yes, and no.

02:15:01SimonSelkithanks a bunch
02:18:34LloreanSimonSelki: I guess, technically speaking, the menus aren't *supposed* to be slow, but they are right now until certain optimizations can occur in the uncertain future.
02:19:47 Part yossa
02:25:38Falco98paul, is that something that only affects the ipod port at the moment?
02:25:46Falco98or is it more in general?
02:26:33LloreanIt's almost entirely an iPod issue.
02:26:42 Quit markun (Read error: 54 (Connection reset by peer))
02:28:44SimonSelkiWell, the menues work more or less fine on my Nano
02:28:50SimonSelkiBut it has a Flash memory

02:28:53LloreanThe Nano has a much smaller screen.
02:28:58SimonSelkioh oh oh
02:29:07SimonSelkiI didn't think about that one
02:29:16SimonSelkiwould a more basic theme make it smoother?
02:29:18Soap(Soap beat LL to an answer!)
02:29:30Soap(even if it wasn't as well worded)
02:29:37SimonSelkihah
02:29:57SoapSimonSelki: it's about the amount of data that needs refreshed.
02:30:02SimonSelkiI thought it had something to do with the hard drive disk having to spin an junk
02:30:03LloreanSimonSelki: Not very much smoother no, other than choosing to use a background color instead of a backdrop image.
02:30:22SimonSelkiah, so I was sort of right?
02:30:39Soapon the theme theory?
02:30:44LloreanMost of the slowness relates to how much data has to be redrawn when the highlight bar moves.

02:33:45SimonSelkiI see... Hey, just because I'm interested, how can Rockbox play FLACs so well at like 800kbps, but studders at Mp3s with anything over 228kbps?
02:34:12LloreanBecause the bitrate really has very little relationship across formats.
02:34:17JdGordonbecause the flac decoder is much better
02:34:28JdGordonand what Llorean said
02:35:30LloreanA 320kbps contains more data than a 128kbps MP3. An 800kbps FLAC and a 700kbps FLAC of the same song contain the same amount of data, but the 700 one is a more complicated version of that data, so actually the bigger a FLAC file is for the same song, the less work is needed to be done.
02:36:43thegeekan mp3 is packed harder, so it takes greater force to unpack it
02:37:36Presencellorean, best explanation ever, re: flac. Thanks. :)
02:39:00Falco98interesting trivia: my PC will randomly BSOD if i compress to FLAC at quality 6, but not if i compress at 2 or 3
02:39:14Falco98it kinda makes me pull my hair out, a little bit...
02:39:28hcsdoes it do that when otherwise under full load?
02:40:03Falco98i could have *nothing* going on other than the compression, and be nearly guaranteed that 1 of every 2 or 3 level-6 encodes will make it go
02:41:02LloreanIs that 6+ or just 6?
02:41:05Falco98but i've been aware for years that i have a bug somewhere, like some subtle conflict between chipsets or something, since i'll BSOD at other random times... like certain specific MP3s seem to make it BSOD about 50% of the time, but usually in the same spot
02:41:09Falco986+
02:41:11Falco98well
02:41:21Falco98for FLAC the different encode levels are merely different optimizations
02:41:38Falco98levels 7 and 8 are so ridiculously slow that they may as well not be used
02:41:53Falco98they're slow and the increase in filesize efficiency they give is minimal
02:41:58LloreanRidiculously slow in what context? How long it takes you to encode?
02:42:09Falco98this is FLAC encoding in general
02:42:11Falco98not just for me
02:42:27LloreanWell, I meant "encode time, as opposed to decode time"
02:42:32Falco98it will hold true for anyone who uses the command-line FLAC encoder
02:42:40Falco98yeah
02:42:56Falco98encoding time increases exponentially between levels 5, 6, 7, and 8
02:42:56LloreanI mean, I really don't care how long my encode times are, as long as they're faster than realtime, since I'm only encoding to an archive format once.
02:43:13Falco987 and 8 are slower than realtime
02:43:21LloreanHaven't been for me.
02:43:23Falco98when i said "ridiculously slow" i meant it ;-)
02:43:41Falco98do you typically encode at 7 or 8?
02:43:48LloreanI was using 8 at the time.
02:43:49Falco98i haven't done the benchmark test on a very fast PC though
02:44:05Falco98but i encoded the same song across all 8 levels and recorded encoding times
02:44:12*Llorean shrugs
02:44:26Falco98and the times get parabolically larger (as i said) from 5 - 6 - 7 - 8
02:44:28Falco98plus
02:44:31LloreanThen I transcoded to wavpack anyway.
02:44:41Falco98at 7 and 8, the filesize benefit may actually be negligible, or negative
02:45:45Falco98why wavpack?
02:46:00LloreanBecause at the time it was performing better than FLAC on Rockbox?
02:46:08LloreanThis predates our move to the other FLAC decoder.
02:46:35Falco98gotcha.
02:46:41Falco98makes sense :)
02:46:54Falco98personally i love FLAC in almost every way
02:47:09Falco98except for the lack of a decent GUI winamp vorbis-comment viewer / editor
02:47:26Falco98plus the viewer that exists actually abuses the way vorbiscomment is structured
02:47:55 Quit Thundercloud (Remote closed the connection)
02:47:57*Llorean doesn't use winamp.
02:47:58Falco98[though it's shitloads better than nothing, and of course, also loads better than having no track info, such as in SHN]
02:48:08Falco98what's your PC music player of choice?
02:48:10Falco98foobar?
02:48:22LloreanFoobar, but I don't really use my PC much at all.
02:48:27LloreanThere's not terribly much cause to.
02:48:36Falco98what do you use, then?
02:48:39Falco98or just RB?
02:48:45LloreanJust Rockbox.
02:49:16LloreanI mean, if I need to hook it up to speakers, my home stereo is better sounding than my PC anyway.
02:49:32Falco98the only reason i don't is, i don't feel like unnecessarily draining my iriver's battery
02:49:59*Llorean has a charger to plug in...
02:50:08Falco98i'm not convinced at how healthy it is for the battery to leave it sitting there plugged into the AC adapter while playing, if i could be using something else that isn't battery-powered
02:50:50Falco98doesn't the iriver power itself through its battery, even if it's plugged into the charger?
02:51:03Falco98or is it smart enough to draw power straight from the wall and completely bypass the battery?
02:51:17Falco98[i have reason to believe it doesn't do this, but you might have info i don't]
02:52:14LloreanIt should be irrelevant anyway since it's liion battery.

02:53:20Falco98don't li-ion batteries lose their potency after use / recharging?
02:53:37Lloreanli-ion batteries lose their potency with aging.
02:54:08LloreanThe aspect of use that will affect their potency is I believe the heat of charging them.
02:54:15Falco98ahh okay
02:54:24LloreanThough I'm not an expect on the matter, so I could've misunderstood something
02:54:39Falco98so i shouldn't be overly worried about affecting the useful life of my battery by using it while keeping it plugged into the charger
02:54:43Falco98is what you're saying?
02:55:18LloreanWell, I've had an h120 that I've used almost equally from the charger as from battery, maybe more, and I still get good battery life despite its age.
02:55:28Falco98cool.
02:55:56LloreanWhile I can't speak in any scientifically speaking manner, the anecdotal experience I can offer is "It isn't bad, at least for me"
02:56:05Falco98i have noticed, though, that if the charger successfully fills the battery up while it's playing, and the charge-light goes off, that it stops attempting to charge altogether until it's unplugged and plugged back in again
02:56:11SimonSelkiman, it's too bad I onlt have a 2 gig nano, or I would use a lot more FLACs
02:56:47Falco98simon: you could always keep your FLACs on your HDD or a dvd-r, and crosscode them to nice compact OGG's temporarily for DAP use..no?
02:57:12Falco98(of course you could use MP3 also, though i have no idea why anyone would choose MP3 over OGG when they have rockbox at their disposal)
02:57:51LloreanFalco98: If you can't hear the difference, MP3 can result in a good deal better battery life.
02:58:28Falco98of course, 128kbps ogg-vorbis can be noticeably better (and more filesize efficient) than 128 kbps mp3 :)
02:58:46Falco98plus, the only thing i have at all on my iriver is Oggs, and i've had no battery life issues
02:58:55Falco98(of course perhaps i don't have a point of comparison)
02:59:10LloreanBut a user who can't hear the difference between 128mp3 and 128vorbis will get better battery life because MP3 doesn't require boosting to decode.
02:59:55LloreanOf course, they could just encode to even lower quality vorbis, for the filesize benefit.
02:59:57Falco98aw dang
03:00
03:00:12LloreanAnd I don't think anyone's done a solid test to see if file complexity or filesize affect battery life more.
03:00:15Falco98i'm not sure what you're referring to with "boosting" tho
03:00:30LloreanOf course, as filesize goes up beyond a certain point, it'll be the worse one, the question is "below what point in filesize, does decode time cost more?"
03:00:44Presencethe ipod switches between 30mhz and 75mhz, to keep the PCM buffer full.
03:00:55LloreanAnd the iRiver between 45 and 120.
03:01:03LloreanOr somewhere thereabouts.
03:01:11LloreanWell, the iRiver Hxxx series.
03:01:11Falco98oh, and it can't decode ogg in realtime at the lower speeds?
03:01:24LloreanMost formats boost to keep the buffer full.
03:01:41LloreanMP3 is more an exception. It, FLAC, and MPC.
03:01:47Falco98so what, do they both have built-in hardware mp3 decoders?
03:01:53hcsand ADX
03:01:58 Join menosm [0] (n=menosm__@user-11fadfo.dsl.mindspring.com)
03:02:04LloreanNah, no hardware decoders.
03:02:06Falco98or is it just something in the nature of the encoding in mp3 that makes it easier to decode?
03:02:10LloreanThe codecs are just more efficient computationally.
03:02:20Falco98gotcha
03:02:33Falco98yeah i suppose i knew ogg was slightly more demanding
03:02:35idnarmusepack is incredibly fast to decode
03:02:43Falco98though i thought the difference was rather slight?
03:02:50SimonSelkiDoing all of that sounds cool, 'cept I don't know what an OGG or DAP is...
03:02:51Falco98like 20% or less?
03:03:00idnarI generally go for musepack when I transcode to a lossy format (although I just stick with my FLACs myself, 30GB gives me enough room to play)
03:03:15Falco98SimonSelki: OGG is short for Ogg-Vorbis, a different kind of encoding... like mp3 but better in most ways :)
03:03:28SimonSelkiawesome
03:03:32Falco98SimonSelki: DAP is what some people call an MP3 player, it stands for "digital audio player"
03:03:51SimonSelkiThat gives me a reason to burn of 2x the battery life =P
03:04:01SimonSelkiI just got a new iPod batter
03:04:03SimonSelkiy
03:04:08Falco98since my iriver doesn't actually HAVE any mp3s on it (but 21 gigs of ogg's, comprising my CD collection), it is technically a DAP and not an mp3 player :-P
03:04:20SimonSelkihah
03:04:29Lloreanidnar: The problem with FLAC is that it has to spin the disk up a lot more, which costs a good deal of battery each time.
03:05:59Falco98k i gotta run for a little while, see everyone later probably... thanks again to jdgordon for pushing my patch into cvs :-D

03:27:19SimonSelkiThey sounds heaven scent
03:27:19LloreanMy statements about relative codec efficiency applied primarily to the Coldfire targets. The ARM targets (iPods, H10) have Vorbis and MP3 codecs much closer to each other.

03:28:07LloreanYou have to convert from a CD, not any existing file
03:28:17excitatoryLlorean: unless it's flac or wav
03:28:23SimonSelkiwhat if I burn an Mp3 to a CD?
03:28:25excitatoryor any other lossless
03:28:39excitatorySimonSelki: still lose quality
03:28:39SimonSelkilike, for a CD player
03:28:44Lloreanexcitatory: FLAC, ALAC, AIFF, WAV, or Lossless Wavpack, specifically, but I was giving greatly simplified directions.
03:28:44SimonSelkihmmm
03:29:06LloreanAnd that's just formats Rockbox supports, there are plenty of other lossless ones in the wild
03:29:07LloreanOh, and SHN
03:29:14excitatorymp3 is a lossy format.. it inherently doesn't have the full data of the original audio file
03:30:11SimonSelkiwhat does iTunes use? I mean, before it chops them all up
03:30:31excitatorySimonSelki: most people have a mix of formats.. for me, it's a blend of mostly ogg, some flac, and maybe 1/10 mp3 from years past..
03:30:48excitatorySimonSelki: by default, it uses aac, but you can set it to use mp3
03:31:12excitatoryaac is a horrible, restrictive format, but it sounds alright.

03:31:35SimonSelkiI'm trying to correct my ways. I have libraries and libraries of Mp3s. Are they obsolete now? I can't sleep at night knowing there is a more efficient format and I'm still using Mp3s.

03:31:50excitatorySimonSelki: nah, don't worry
03:32:01excitatorythe one nice thing about mp3 is that EVERYTHING supports it
03:32:23TheCollectorSimonSelki: there is no "perfect" format
03:32:29excitatoryfrom car stereos, to dvd players, to cheaper mp3 stereos..DAPs, etc.
03:32:36TheCollectorthey all are trade-offs in one respect or another
03:33:18excitatorySimonSelki: my comment was misleading too since ogg generally drains batteries more..just not on the nano
03:34:02excitatorySimonSelki: ogg is nice because it's open and free and ever improving. if you rip your mp3's using the oss LAME encoder, it's pretty much the same thing.
03:34:24SimonSelkiI only have a 2 gig iPod Nano man. You tell me there's a better smaller format and I'm going to slit my wrists the next time I don't have enough space to for my new favorite single from Justin Timberlake because my self-help audio Mp3s are too damn beefy.
03:35:06excitatory..and unless you're a neurotic golden ear with studio quality audio gear, it's hard to tell the difference between ogg and mp3..
03:35:27LloreanNot to mention Ogg isn't very much smaller.
03:35:48excitatoryuntil you start getting into various ogg and mp3 encoders at different bittrates, you won't notice.
03:36:13SimonSelkiI can usually tell the difference between inly 128 and FLAC
03:36:18SimonSelkionly...
03:36:32excitatoryyea, well who cant
03:36:44SimonSelkiI guess I'll be okay
03:37:08excitatorystick with at least 192 and everything will sound great.
03:37:24SimonSelkiMan, this changes everything
03:37:27excitatory256 range is where it's next to impossible to tell for me
03:38:05SimonSelkiI have a Zappa album on my iPod that takes up a quarter of the space because it's in FLAC
03:38:22excitatorySimonSelki: many people still maintain that one should stick with mp3 just for compatibility reasons and the fact that it sounds pretty damn good.
03:38:45excitatoryyes, for only a 2gb nano, i wouldn't put any flacs on there
03:39:01excitatoryencode them down to a reasonable bitrate
03:39:30SimonSelkiKnow of any good Ogg encoders?
03:40:09excitatoryyea, the aotuv vorbis encoder
03:40:15excitatoryi'll grab you a url
03:41:03SimonSelkiis it freeware or do I have to find other means?
03:41:03SimonSelkiThanks, I do appreciate it a lot.

03:46:27excitatorywell, i feel silly
03:46:53LloreanWell, as open as MP3, roughly
03:46:57LloreanThey're both patented, just not enforced.

03:51:58excitatorySimonSelki: well, to finish, you'll want to get off win98. if interested in linux, you will want a distribution of it (a collection of software packages, settings, drivers, and the linux kernel). a distro's website will provide you with instructions for downloading a CD image to burn to a CD-R, which you can boot off of, which will then install your new operating system. I recommend ubuntu (ubuntu.com) as a good starting point.
03:51:58excitatoryperhaps read about it and decide if it's for you.

04:45:28Omega_XiUmm, I think I bricked my iPod
04:45:40Soapyou'd be the first.
04:45:42Soapnano?
04:46:05Omega_XiI followed the instructions in the manual, and now it keeps rebooting and displaying rockbox error-1
04:46:21Soapso you have installed the bootloader.
04:46:29Soapdo you have rockbox itself on your player?
04:46:42Omega_XiYeah, I copied rockbox to the root of the player
04:47:10Soapthe zip?
04:47:35Omega_XiNo, I extracted the *.zip to my player, sorry I should have specified
04:47:37LloreanAlso, what sort of player is it?
04:47:48Omega_XiIt's an iPod video, 5.5
04:47:52LloreanError -1 means "We could not find the file rockbox.ipod in the root of your iPod"

04:48:13Soapdid you copy the zip, or did you /extract/ the zip to the root of your player?
04:48:13Omega_XiYeah 30Gb
04:48:29maquisOmega_Xi: don't worry... i thought i'd bricked my ipod once too, and people here were able to show me that i hadn't... i had just run into a very odd bug
04:48:41Omega_Xi*phew* ^_^
04:48:44maquis:)
04:48:51Omega_Xi(grown man nearly cried here, lol)
04:48:51LloreanWell, the continual reboot means you installed the bootloader improperly (you likely won't be able to use the Apple firmware, though Rockbox should work fine), and the error: -1 means it can't find teh file I mentioned.
04:48:57falco98_awaybesides don't ipods have a rather clean master-reset function built-in?
04:49:36Omega_XiI'm not so worried about the apple firmware, I got the thing purely for rockbox ;)
04:49:56Lloreanfalco98_away: What they have build in, is a in-flash disk mode and a hard reset, that we don't really have access to (nor would we bother modifying if we did, since it's entirely unnecessary to ever do so)
04:50:09LloreanOmega_Xi: So, on your drive, say X:\, is there a file rockbox.ipod and a folder .rockbox?
04:50:17LloreanYour iPod drive
04:50:42falco98_awayLlorean: i just mean.. like, if someone bricks their ipod.. can't they do a master-reset?
04:50:42Omega_XiThere was, yes, but I can't access it as F:\ anymore

04:54:15Omega_XiYeah, it's FAT32, I used the instructions from the *.pdf at http://download.rockbox.org/manual/rockbox-ipodvideo-20061218.pdf
04:54:53LloreanI suggest uninstalling and following the new instrcutions.
04:55:22Omega_XiSo, delete rockbox.ipod and the .rockbox folder?
04:55:26Soapbad timing, linuxstb just added a warning to the manual to follow the new instructions in the wiki.

05:10:06LloreanI think many of the interesting innards have already been identified, but I'm not sure they're *not* needed.
05:10:19LloreanThe real problem right now, though, is the difficulty of the firmware being encrypted
05:11:05TheCollectorah - I remember seeing a bit about that on the wiki yesterday
05:11:45TheCollectortoo bad Apple had to screw up a good thing instead of just throwing more flash in there
05:12:06LloreanApple doesn't like us, I don't think.

09:09:30LloreanI was wondering if anyone has a view regarding "Official" threads at other forums, such as "Official" progress threads and such. My concern specifically is the word official itself, since while the source of the progress is official (often CVS logs) what gets chosen, and even interpretation of it, or meaning, is often not.
09:11:28 Join petur [0] (i=d4efd6a6@gateway/web/cgi-irc/labb.contactor.se/x-5ff3402fd46e3d13)
09:12:04BagderI agree with that sentiment
09:12:13BagderI'd rather just have the lot unofficial
09:14:08cynicalliberalAre we speaking in terms of official in the purest sense of the word? Because sometimes its the word 'Official' to consolidate anything that might have to do with the subject into a single thread.
09:14:17linuxstbI see them as being "official" in terms of whatever forum the thread is on. I'm not sure how people can think that they are official in terms of being written by Rockbox.org.
09:15:18linuxstbPersonally, I'm more concerned about people sharing their own builds of rockbox without any source or licensing statements.
09:18:13 Quit GodEater_Web ("CGI:IRC (EOF)")
09:20:11Lloreanlinuxstb: That's a concern to.
09:20:45LloreanNow that I feel our forums are reasonably stable, I've decided I'd like to try to clarify the image of Rockbox externally. You know, lessen the misinformation, clarify where "official" news comes from, and so on.
09:21:09 Quit cynicalliberal ("Chatzilla 0.9.77 [Firefox 1.5.0.8/2006102516]")
09:21:22LloreanI can easily see "Official" meaning "Maintained by these forums" rather than "Provided by Rockbox.org" but it still seems to have the potential to confuse users.
09:21:30linuxstbMaybe we should have an RSS news feed - if some people populate it with news...

09:22:09LloreanThe thing is, most of these threads try to aggregate news related to their specific target.
09:22:22LloreanAlthough I suppose that could be handled by metadata tags on the news or something.
09:22:30LloreanAll "contextual web" and that jazz.
09:22:33GodEater_Webre: RSS feed, it'd have to be updated more frequently than the "news" items on the frontpage at rockbox.org
09:22:55*Bagder once tried to edit such a news feed but failed rather soon
09:23:19*linuxstb fails to avoid thinking rockblog
09:23:19GodEater_WebLlorean: is there some particular "official" thread somewhere that has peaked your ire in this case ?
09:23:28LloreanGodEater_Web: There have been many.
09:23:55GodEater_Webcare to share so I can see what you mean ?
09:24:30linuxstbBut to be fair, there is no "offiicial" equivalent to those kinds of forum threads.
09:24:41LloreanBut I was just going over to iAudiophile to clarify that "Rockbox voids your warranty" "Rockbox is very unlikely to damage your player" and "Even if your damage wasn't caused by Rockbox, they can still deny your warranty claim if it was installed" because there seems to be some debate over all that.

09:26:03LloreanGodEater_Web: http://iaudiophile.net/forums/showthread.php?t=8231 for example. A post in there links to a forum thread as a "confirmation" of an improvement. While a valid link, it still depends on an outside source to decide what qualifies as an "announcement"
09:27:09LloreanGodEater_Web: My biggest concern is that I've seen at times complete misinterpretations of CVS comments, and then spread that misinterpretation among outside communities until a decent sized group thought Rockbox did or didn't have Feature X where the other case was true.
09:28:07GodEater_WebI see your point - but how do you propose fixing that?
09:28:19 Join mathgl [0] (n=mathgl@81.80.150.139)
09:28:23GodEater_Webeven having an RSS feed still relies on people actually subscribing to it
09:28:23LloreanI'd like a guideline such as "Official" progress threads should only contain CVS log information, and statements by developers, for example.
09:28:46LloreanSo when they run an official thread at their site, we can at least hope that they only quote Devs or the CVS.
09:28:51GodEater_Webplus you'd have to have someone acting as a "rockbox mythbuster" checking these other forums constantly and correcting any misinterpretations
09:29:12LloreanI've often seen quotes taken from our IRC channel on progress threads that were made in jest, or suggested a slight improvement in an area that got blown into "Bug Y is gone!"
09:29:32LloreanNot constantly, or anything. It's an unenforceable rule, by definition.
09:29:41LloreanBut a lot exists on good faith.
09:30:01GodEater_Webtrue
09:30:12LloreanI'd rather ask politely that they try to make sure that if they stamp a thread "Official" it follows some recommended guidelines than ignore the matter altogether.
09:30:43GodEater_Webotherwise post a list on rb.org stating "We do not codone any statements made on site X whether they claim to be official or not" :)
09:30:51Lloreanlinuxstb: And yes, I'd *definitely* like to go after all those people providing builds without full source.

09:33:27peturwow, you got a Japanese city for free!
09:33:32Bagderhahha
09:33:37JdGordonhow about putting a nice message at the top of rockbox.org saying this is the only place to get anything official... ?
09:33:59GodEater_Webhehe - no idea what I'm going to do with it petur :)
09:34:22*Llorean got a free soda with his sandwich tonight.
09:34:42*petur runs off to make tea
09:34:49linuxstbLlorean: If you do, remember they don't have to make source available to download with their builds, just respond to requests for the source. But they do have to include an offer to provide the source, valid for three years.... (IIUC)
09:36:17*GodEater_Web has had a thought re: 80G disk problems
09:36:21Lloreanlinuxstb: I wasn't sure about the period it had to be available, but I did know it had to be the full source needed to compile the binary (excluding standard libraries, etc) that they were distributing, and that it needed to be provided on request, but not necessarily posted.
09:36:36GodEater_Webanyone care to comment on the liklihood that apple don't use PIO, but rather DMA instead?
09:36:56GodEater_Weband that there may be a bug with the 80G drive's PIO support that they therefore wouldn't hav enoticed ?
09:37:20GodEater_Webor is that a dumb train of thought ?
09:37:31GodEater_Webin which case please enlighten me
09:37:44GodEater_Webonly use a small hammer though
09:37:48GodEater_Web:)
09:39:20GodEater_Webor I suppose they might have noticed but not cared if they knew they were going to use DMA
09:39:32linuxstbI'll leave that for one of the hardware gurus to answer.
09:40:01GodEater_Webheh - thought you wrote the original ipod ATA driver ?
09:40:02GodEater_Web:)
09:40:10linuxstbCTRL+C, CTRL+V
09:40:20GodEater_Webhahahah - my favourite way of coding too :)
09:40:29GodEater_Webstanding on the shoulders of giants an all that
09:41:00linuxstbAll I did was work out the #defines for the different addresses. And those were just extracted from the IPL kernel source.
09:41:16GodEater_Webgod bless the IPL guys
09:41:25linuxstbPlus I fixed all the endian issues. Previously, the Rockbox ATA driver only ran on big-endian CPUs.
09:41:45GodEater_Weboooh, that sounds more nasty

09:42:19linuxstbNot really. Although I did get an amusing bug in the Rockbox text viewer where every pair of characters was reversed...
09:42:27GodEater_Webhehe
09:43:28amiconnI think it's very unlikely that apple uses ata dma
09:43:37GodEater_WebI'll post that thought to the forum thread as well - incase any of said "hardware gurus" don't catch up with today's IRC log
09:44:06amiconnEven if they use some pp dma controller to transfer data from the ata port, this would still be pio as seen by the drive
09:44:50amiconnBut I think LinusN knows more about these things than me
09:45:41amiconnDon't be too impatient, I'm quite sure there is a solution
09:45:58LloreanBy definition doesn't there have to be a solution, if Apple's firmware work? ;)
09:46:33GodEater_Webamiconn: you sure the drive still sees it as PIO ? The ATA spec seems to include a suite of DMA specific commands...
09:46:50*amiconn remembers how long it took to get the SH1 serial i/f to access MMC the way it should
09:47:16GodEater_WebLlorean: quite :)
09:49:13amiconnGodEater_Web: I already suggested a method which needs quite some work, but should produce results almost for sure.
09:50:05GodEater_Webis that you're piezo dumping suggestion?
09:50:11GodEater_Webs/you're/your
09:50:39amiconnYes, but not piezo. Standard audio should be more reliable and faster
09:51:00 Join LinusN [0] (i=linus@rockbox/developer/LinusN)
09:51:15GodEater_Webah well - I'll have to leave that to someone else - out of my league
09:51:38GodEater_WebI may have a poke at this DMA stuff and see if I can make any headway with it, it can't hurt :)
09:51:50amiconnIt would also be helpful if one dev had access to (ideally) 3 devices: a standard 5th gen, a 30GB 5.5th gen and an 80GB 5.5th gen
09:53:19JdGordonis rsync -r src dest enough to make sure every file in src is in dest ?
09:53:31Bagderyes
09:53:35JdGordont
09:53:35JdGordona
09:53:56amiconnOne thing I would try then would be swapping disks around and checking what works and what doesn't (in retailos, of course changing the firmware partition content)
09:54:56LinusNi have a 5gen and a 5.5gen
09:55:05linuxstbThe firmware partition has a version number (displayed with "ipodpatcher [device] -v −−list"), so we could check if the same firmware version is used on all 5g/5.5g targets.
09:55:59linuxstbPlus of course, extracting the main firmware to apple_os.ipod and comparing.
09:56:15amiconnHmm, isn't that one encrypted?
09:56:35linuxstbNo, the main (5MB+) image isn't encrypted. Only the AUPD (flash contents).
09:56:52linuxstbOn the G2 nano, they are both encrypted.
09:57:15amiconnSomewhat strange...
09:57:39amiconnThe flash content cannot be encrypted in flash, otherwise it wouldn't work. So why encrypt it on disk?
09:57:46linuxstbThe mi4 devices are the opposite - the bootloader image isn't encrypted, but the main firmware is.
09:58:20amiconnDo we know the encryption type and/or key(s)?
09:58:28Bagderactually, some of the mi4 targets have encrypted boot loaders too
09:58:47Bagderthe h10 "hex" format
10:00
10:00:18GodEater_Web0xb012 is the version reported here
10:00:43GodEater_Webif anyone wants me apple_os.ipod to compare with something else shout

10:00:50 Quit nudelyn ("Hammer of Dawn is offline.")
10:03:52 Quit JdGordon ("Konversation terminated!")
10:03:58linuxstbThe 5g image I have is 0xb012 as well.
10:04:15linuxstbI'll extract the apple_os and compare.
10:04:23linuxstb(I also have a 0xb012 5.5g image)
10:05:49linuxstbYes, the checksums for 5g and 5.5g match.
10:06:34GodEater_Webso nothing funny going on between the two versions then
10:07:21linuxstbIt could well use runtime detection though, and do things differently on the various different 5g/5.5g models.
10:07:55LloreanSo it's the same apple_os between 5G and 5.5G?
10:08:01GodEater_Webpossible
10:08:04GodEater_Webbut I don't believe that
10:08:18GodEater_Webthat would have shown considerable foresight when they were writing for the 5G
10:08:22LloreanWell he said the checksums match.
10:08:35LloreanGodEater_Web: I assume it's the newest firmware for 5G that he's comparing.
10:08:47GodEater_Webah I see what you mean
10:10:54amiconnlinuxstb: Are there older (pre-5.5th gen) versions of the 5th gen firmware available?
10:11:14*amiconn wonders what would happen when running such an older version on a 5.5th gen
10:12:59linuxstbI've got a copy of the original firmware partition from my 5g from December 2005.
10:13:24amiconnIt might also be interesting to disassemble both an older version and the most recent version, and then search for differences in the code
10:13:38amiconn...especially in places where the ata i/f addresses appear
10:14:05GodEater_Webcurious, just replacing CMD_READ_SECTORS with CMD_READ_DMA and I get status:0x50
10:14:12GodEater_Webi.e. no error
10:14:36GodEater_Webmind you - not a lot else happened :)

10:20:51amiconnThis way it may be executed more than once, but since it just checks hw mask bits I don't think that it will cause problems
10:21:02dewdudeunder "Which Ipods does rockbox support"
10:21:14dewdudeit doesn't specify the 30 gig model as working
10:21:18amiconnIt also saves one function call, saving a tiny bit of code

10:21:42Bagderthe curse of having the same info on more than one place...
10:21:45amiconnDo you think I should commit that right away, or would you prefer to test on some more targets first (e.g. fmrecorder)?
10:21:46linuxstbdewdude: It's only been a day or two since it became officially supported, so not every reference has been updated.
10:21:56amiconnI tested on recv1 and player, no problems

10:44:38myzareasier said than done.
10:44:40myzarbut a schema
10:44:43myzaror a plan of attack will help
10:44:53amiconnSomehow I doubt that dma mode is the issue. According to the identify info, no dma mode is enabled
10:45:19GodEater_Webamiconn: that's not what I read in the identify nfo
10:45:40GodEater_WebI think the stuff I dumped yesterday was after set_features() was called
10:45:46amiconnI know. But the identify info indicates whether dma transfer modes are enabled - and they're not
10:45:48GodEater_Webwhich forces PIO mode
10:46:11GodEater_Webwhen I looked before, when LinusN had me turn set_features() off
10:46:18GodEater_Webit was specifying dma mode 4
10:46:33amiconnYou mean ultra dma?
10:46:37GodEater_WebI've commented out set_features() again now
10:46:40GodEater_Webthink so
10:46:43GodEater_Weblet me check again
10:46:49*GodEater_Web goes hunting for the right word
10:46:50amiconnMulti-word dma only knows modes 0..2
10:47:18amiconn...and I doubt that the ipod hw will come even close to any ultra-dma timing
10:48:00GodEater_Webpessimist :)
10:48:42amiconnDumping identify_info right after power-up without calling set_features beforehand should tell
10:49:09linuxstbThe PP chips support ATA-66 IIRC from the product briefs.
10:49:31GodEater_Webword 63
10:51:30GodEater_Webcomes back with 0x7
10:51:38GodEater_Webso all multi-word DMA modes are supported
10:52:21amiconnYes, supported, but not enabled
10:53:01amiconnAll ata devices since at least 12 years ago are supposed to support mw-dma
10:53:38amiconnWord 88 would be interesting
10:54:02GodEater_WebI was just getting that one :)
10:55:16amiconnHmm, your dump from yesterday tells that UDMA4 is enabled...
10:55:19GodEater_Web101F
10:55:40amiconnYes, UDMA0..4 all supported, UDMA4 selected
10:56:08GodEater_Webknew I wasn't imagining having seen a mode 4
10:56:42amiconnNow go ahead and find out how to use UDMA on PP...
10:56:59*amiconn is surprised
10:57:00GodEater_Webpah - easy, and with my free hand I'll be a fusion reactor
10:57:07GodEater_Web*build
10:57:38amiconnHmm. I'm curious how the identify info does look on the various other ipods
10:57:48amiconnI can check on mini G2 myself
10:58:09GodEater_Webdigital camera - don't do what I did and type out by hand :)
10:58:22GodEater_Webalthough I suppose on the G2 you can dump it to a text file
10:58:30GodEater_Webwhich would be much better
10:58:42amiconnThe others won't need a digicam. Just read identify_info at boot and save it to a file later
10:59:00GodEater_WebI need more coffee - back in a bit
10:59:04amiconnI did that yesterday on X5 to see what the MK2006GAL gives back

11:58:27linuxstb_I'm catching up now...
11:58:35scorche=)
11:59:35linuxstb_I assume that under the DMA write section, "destination memory address" should be "source memory address" ?
12:00
12:00:17GodEater_Webthat would make sense
12:00:37LinusNehum, i don't see how this in any way relates to ATA DMA
12:01:44GodEater_WebI'm sort of struggling with that too
12:01:46LinusNthe dma described on that page is just a simple generic dma
12:02:03GodEater_WebI thought ATA DMA generated an interupt when it's done reading
12:02:20LinusNi bet you can poll that status as well
12:02:32LinusNstill, the ata dma is an entirely different beast
12:03:05*amiconn cannot find anything dma realted on Bagder's page
12:03:14GodEater_Webwell I'm stumped for other ideas to try

12:11:23*JdGordon hears someone calling.... "cooming" *runs away*
12:11:28amiconnPowering on from the charging screen still uses the wrong button on the player, and on the recorder it's easy to confuse the screen

12:14:34JdGordonwell, im just lookign at the view runtime screen code, and its not using the multi-screen api at all, and that screen has annoyed me for a long time.. so im redoing it :p
12:15:48GodEater_Webwhich version arm controller is in the pp chips ?
12:15:54Slasherithat runtime screen also seems to be very unreliable.. for me it resets once in a while, so the displayed runtime is not correct
12:16:00JdGordonit also doesnt use lang, which is crap
12:16:05Slasheriand holding a button in the screen, stops the runtime counter!
12:16:41markundaurn: dongs used to come here to tell us how stupid we all are for not doing things the way he does (windows is the only OS, gvim is the only editor, ...)
12:17:02amiconnSlasheri: It doesn't reset 'once in a while', but when you charge the unit (on purpose), and on settings version change (which will go hopefully soon)
12:17:02JdGordongood old dongs, always happy to give us a laugh
12:17:17amiconnWhen charging only the current runtime is reset of course
12:17:17markunI think he's still on freenode

12:17:30scorchedont forget how horrible we were for using GCC and how we should pay thousands for a "real" compiler

12:19:33daurnew
12:19:38daurnvi
12:19:39daurnew :S
12:21:12amiconnJdGordon: The runtime info screen doesn't use multi-screen and language because it's under debug. Perhaps it should go into the standard info menu instead
12:22:04JdGordonyeah, its not really a debug screen anyway, just because thats where it is in the menu
12:22:19JdGordonmove it to screens.c?
12:23:14Slasheribut there is no way to know if battery has been charged when player has been switched off
12:23:30Slasherian uptime and total uptime screen could be more useful in fact
12:25:01amiconnSlasheri: True, but then the H1x0 is the only target (with internal charging) that can charge while the unit is off
12:25:42amiconnOndio has a similar problem though, as it doesn't charge internally at all, but you change batteries. The Ondio has no way of knowing when that happens

12:32:22pillis a port for the nano 2G to be expected? or is the encrypted firmware a definite blocking point?
12:33:13LloreanIt's by no means guaranteed to happen, as it pretty much depends on the efforts of those who have the player
12:33:40pillwell i have it, but i don't think i can be of any help

12:34:11markunand the hardware is quite different from the other ipods so it will be a completely new port
12:34:26pillyeah i read about that on IPL forums
12:34:34pillit's no PortalPlayer
12:37:05GodEater_Webthink we already have the firmware dumped - it's just unreadable because of the encryption

12:54:46Dksaarth_?
12:55:09n1sDksaarth_: don't know for sure but I don't think so
12:55:27Dksaarth_hmmm
12:55:33linuxstbI don't believe so. The first hurdle is getting the low-level serial driver in the ipods working.
12:55:48barrywardelln1s: yes, I was very verbose with that commit message. It's all pretty much summed up in the first sentence though :)
12:55:59scorcheJdGordon: ick...we have a spin-up before shutdown now? =S
12:56:00amiconnJdGordon: Forcing a settings save on shutdown without reason is _bad_
12:56:08Dksaarth_and hows that coming along linuxstb ?
12:56:08scorchehaha
12:56:11linuxstbThen it's reverse-engineering the Apple Accessory Protocol (which is already at least partly done).
12:56:15scorcheamiconn: nice one...
12:56:18amiconnImho this should be reverted asap
12:56:18JdGordonthe reason is the settings are being rude and for some reason not saving
12:56:19linuxstbDksaarth_: I don't believe anyone is working on it.
12:56:34Dksaarth_hmm
12:56:45Dksaarth_has it been started at all ?
12:56:47linuxstbDksaarth_: Personally, I just use generic accessories, not ones tied to a specific mp3 player.
12:56:52JdGordonamiconn: I figured it would be better having this temporarily and fix the problem than have settings not saving
12:57:09Dksaarth_im totally new to the rockbox thing, but am interested in trying to do some coding
12:57:17amiconnA kludge is usually worse than leaving the problem there for a proper fix
12:57:29linuxstbDksaarth_: There is some code in the ipodlinux kernel for the serial port, but according to the IPL developers it doesn't work.
12:57:30amiconnKludges make people forget that there is a problem
12:57:33scorcheJdGordon: i would agree if there wasnt an option to save your settings to a file, which there is of course
12:57:54JdGordonok, ill revert it if thats the general concensus?
12:57:59amiconnSpeaking about settings - for some reason the backlight timeout on h1x0 doesn't behave...
12:58:27*Dksaarth_ goes off to read about the serial port for the IPL kernel
12:58:31scorchewell, so far, just amiconn and i have spoken out
12:58:31Dksaarth_thanks
12:58:38scorchethirded anyone?
12:58:48amiconnIt seems that it loads the correct timeout on boot, but doesn't tell the backlight driver

13:00:01Lloreanamiconn: When rockbox.ipod is loaded into the firmware partition on iPods, the first button press won't turn on the backlight, but as soon as the timeout occurs and fading begins, the backlight lights up solely to fade out, then works as normal. I don't know if that's related at all.

13:15:30LloreanWasn't sure if those were at all related.
13:15:38linuxstbWe need to do things to the COP to prepare it for starting the Apple firmware. Those things happen in the bootloader, but not in rolo.
13:15:45LloreanAh
13:16:02linuxstbAnd barrywardell's commit seems to fix what the bootloader was doing.
13:16:15habanaBagder: played yesterday with a few plugins, really amazing :)
13:16:36barrywardelldoes that mean we could just apply the same fixes to rolo and it would work?
13:16:41LloreanROLO would be quite nice, because then I can have very fast Rockbox boots + the option to boot Apple_OS for transfers
13:17:12barrywardelllinuxstb: have you tested ROLO with the new crt0 yet?
13:17:16linuxstbLlorean: Exactly... No need for a bootloader menu, just click in your "Start Apple Firmware.ipod" file in the file browser.
13:17:44LloreanIt would be lovely.
13:18:13JdGordonok, the most important question for the night.... in the info menu, where should the running time item be? 3rd between version and debug?
13:18:33linuxstbbarrywardell: No. We need to ensure both the COP and main CPU branch to 0x10000000 when starting the Apple firmware. At the moment, I doubt the COP does that.
13:18:35LinusNJdGordon: /*settings_save();*/
13:18:41LinusNwhy not remove it?
13:19:07JdGordonumm...
13:19:53JdGordonI still think the band-aid solution shhuold apply here, I gues its easier to uncomment then type the whole call again if people want to put it back
13:20:03JdGordonshuold I remove it properly?
13:20:04linuxstbLlorean: The IPL kernel probably works with ROLO though - try http://www.davechapman.f2s.com/rockbox/2006-12-10-kernel.ipod
13:20:21LinusNJdGordon: yes i think so
13:20:25linuxstbIt should work, then give you an error about a missing root filesystem.
13:20:57JdGordonbah, ok
13:21:02amiconnlinuxstb: Speaking about linux - I don't understand why ipl requires an ext2 partition
13:21:28*Llorean goes to test
13:21:29Bagderit shouldn't need to
13:21:40amiconnIirc there once was an extension called UMSDOS that allowed a linux kernel to run from a FAT partition
13:21:45linuxstbI think it's simply that no-one has attempted to remove that dependency.
13:21:55linuxstb(or no-one that knows enough about Linux)
13:22:08BagderI doubt hardly anyone builds their own linux kernel for ipl
13:22:13amiconnI wonder whether that could be applied to ipl (not that I'd need ipl, but this way it wouldn't take away too much valuable space)
13:22:29Lloreanlinuxstb: Checksum error
13:22:31Bagderamiconn: it is probably just a matter of reconfiguring and rebuilding
13:22:38linuxstbLlorean: Ah, of course. I'll fix.
13:22:45linuxstb(it's built for my Photo)
13:22:49LloreanHeh
13:23:06LloreanApple_OS.bin at least tries to do something when it says "Executing" because my earphones pop slightly
13:23:44LloreanI bet a version of IPL that could be run from a FAT32 partition (and thusly ROLOd) would actually be rather welcome among the gamer folk that we seem to attract
13:23:58linuxstbTry http://www.davechapman.f2s.com/rockbox/kernel-nano.ipod
13:24:25Bagderwhen you build linux, you enable/disable each file system you want to support. ext2 and fat are equivalent in the eyes of the kernel
13:24:39linuxstbCan you create device nodes on a FAT32 partition though/
13:24:40linuxstb?
13:24:41Lloreanlinuxstb: Much larger than the last file I downloaded
13:24:48Bagderah
13:24:58Bagderdev files might be hard
13:25:07Lloreanlinuxstb: Yup, "unable to mount root fs"
13:25:07linuxstbA ramfs filesystem?
13:25:08Bagderthose would need a small ramfs
13:25:11linuxstb:)
13:25:14Bagderhaha
13:25:57linuxstbLlorean: OK, that's good news. At least rolo seems more reliable now. We just need to fix the COP and hopefully the apple firmware will start.

13:33:46linuxstbI've no idea. I could try...
13:34:16BagderI doubt it does

13:41:34amiconnpetur: NTFS supports reparse points, of which junctions are one flavour (like symlinks on *nix, but not widely used). The windows way of 'symlinks' works on all filesystems
13:42:28peturso you mean shortcuts?
13:42:44amiconnyes
13:43:12linuxstbDoes NTFS allow you to delete open (read-only) files?
13:43:31peturnope
13:43:54peturat least I think it doesn't
13:44:12Bagderisn't that the kernel rather than the fs that decides it?
13:46:05linuxstbI thought it was related to the concept of hard links. i.e. a file will have a count of how many links there are to it, when that link count goes to zero, and nothing has it open, then it's removed.
13:46:50linuxstbi.e. a delete won't immediately delete, just decrement the link count. But I could be making this up...
13:47:23Bagder:-)
13:47:28peturthere's an option when opening a file to have it deleted after closing (for temp files)
13:47:43linuxstb"man 2 unlink"
13:48:06peturand you can have some file stuff done at boot time for files that are in use
13:50:20LloreanI remember reading that if you deleted any hardlinked file's link, it would delete the file (but leave the other invalid links).
13:50:35LloreanBut I can't remember where I read that.
13:50:39LloreanOr how reliable a source it was.
13:50:42linuxstbI think that's soft (symbolic) links.
13:50:47LloreanIt was some Win2K documentation, ages ago.
13:50:51linuxstbAh...
13:51:16LloreanIt may have been symbolic, actually
13:51:19LloreanAs I said, ages ago.
13:51:25LloreanAnd the terms weren't the same.

14:05:35GodEater_Webwhat were we looking at earlier re: differences between 5G and 5.5g firmwares?
14:06:29CassandraI see Barry's done some really nice work with the Sansa/H10 bootloader.
14:07:22LloreanCassandra: It also fixed loading apple_os.ipod from file, on Nano at least.
14:08:14GodEater_WebI have an early 5G firmware with a different checksum to the 5.5G
14:08:23GodEater_Webnot sure if that's any use to anyone
14:08:30CassandraThat's good, although there's very little practical use for that IMHO.
14:09:25LloreanCassandra: Well, it's one step closer to a working ROLO into it, which would allow, at least on Nano, a significantly faster Rockbox boot time.
14:09:41amiconnLinusN: Do you have an opinion on how to use the X5 dual-colour LED?
14:09:57amiconnImho using it just for charging indication is a bit of a waste
14:10:01CassandraIt would? Nano boot time is pretty much instantaneous anyway.
14:10:18GodEater_Webpretty blinkenlights at christmas amiconn :)
14:10:38LloreanCassandra: If you load Rockbox.ipod into the firmware partition, it's quite a bit faster, because you don't have to sit through the bootloader.
14:10:47LloreanIt drops to about 2.5 seconds.
14:10:50amiconnOn archos we also use the red LED for a different purpose that the of, but then this LED isn't labeled, unlike the X5 one...
14:10:50CassandraCan you support it as a seperate screen a la H100 remote.
14:10:56LinusNamiconn: i don't have a good idea, maybe clipping indication when recording?
14:11:31amiconnI thought we could use the green part as charging indicator, and the red part as a hd / recording indicator led

14:12:55LloreanBecause my Nano's closer to 4 seconds with that.
14:13:26CassandraMaybe an extra second with the Apple time.
14:13:41CassandraI still don't really see 3-4 secs as a long loading time.
14:13:52CassandraParticularly compared to the Apple f/w.
14:14:01amiconnGreen LED on h1x0 is charging indicator (hardwired), on archos it's power (also hardwired). So using the green LED for charging indication would match h1x0
14:14:25LloreanCassandra: I don't see why it being not-long is any reason why it shouldn't be shorter, though.
14:14:48amiconnRed LED on archos is ATA/recording (controllable), on h1x0 it's ATA (hardwired, but disableable).
14:14:49LloreanI mean, boot time on H120 is short, but loading Rockbox into flash makes it shorter still.

Spending 2 hours to transfer a few files is not a worthy tradeoff for 2 seconds shorter boot right now.
14:17:08LloreanIt's not a big deal, or anything, having those extra 2 seconds
14:17:13LloreanAnd a native USB mode would solve the same problem.
14:17:18LloreanAt least, from my perspective
14:17:24CassandraBut didn't you say earlier that roloing apple_os already worked.

14:17:50LloreanThe bootloader can load it from apple_os.ipod if it's not found to be in the firmware partition, though.

15:50:20*jhMikeS can't decide if it's better to use intptr_t or uintptr_t as event data in queues. The void * pointer scheme should go.
15:50:25webguest20I see how much effort is made to get the things right on all platforms. I've also read that iPod nano 2G is a completely new architecture. But that also means that the manufacturers also have to implement all the features anew with every device model. And devices are brought to the market en masse...
15:50:33linuxstb(but I see a few of their devs lurking here at the moment...)
15:50:35GodEater_Webthanks for the zip file linuxstb btw - I only just noticed the link :)
15:51:40webguest20linuxstb: really? And you know who they are? Do they try to 'steal' solutions for some problems (e.g. sound codecs)?
15:52:09*GodEater_Web spots someone who doesn't get open source
15:52:11linuxstbBoth projects release code under the GPL, so there's no "stealing".
15:53:14webguest20E.g. apple: they've created an awsome infrastructure. You plug in your ipod and it gets synchronized automatically. Amazing!
15:53:34scorchewhat are you attempting to get at?
15:53:39webguest20linuxstb: what projects do you mean? RB and ...?
15:53:48scorcheipodlinux
15:54:38webguest20scorche: no, I mean the commercial firmwares (in my previous lengthy post)
15:54:55scorcheyes, but i dont see what you are trying to get at
15:55:18scorcheand he meant for that statement to go to GodEater_Web
15:55:56GodEater_Webwho got it, and is wondering what form of narcolepsy is afflicting the poor ipodlinux devs
15:57:29webguest20E.g. iriver firmware. Or sansa FW. Or Philips. Or Thomson... (I can name more) Every FW is a major software project. And they make a new device every year!
15:57:39linuxstbMaybe I've just missed it, but I've never seen real IPL development talk in #ipodlinux (or even #ipodlinux-dev) anyway. I just think they are a more private group than us.
15:57:52GodEater_Webso private they don't even talk to each other :)
15:57:55scorchewebguest20: for the last time, what are you getting at by saying this?
15:58:02GodEater_Webmaybe they've mastered telepathy
15:58:06linuxstbwebguest20: What makes you think they don't reuse existing code? Apple doesn't rewrite itunes from scratch each time they release a new ipod...
15:58:33webguest20scorche: I just wonder where they get capacities.
15:58:39scorchewebguest20: implementing features and porting to a new device is made much easier when you have huge resources and datasheets of the hardware instead of being in the dark about it all
15:58:50linuxstbFull-time paid developers help...
15:58:57webguest20linuxstb: itunes yes. But the FW for nano 2G must be rewritten.
15:59:08GodEater_Webwhat a a load of crap
15:59:12GodEater_Webit just needs to be recompiled
15:59:17GodEater_Webwith a bit of tweaking here and there
15:59:19LinusNi don't think the apple software developers have the data sheets for the portalplayer hardware
15:59:23GodEater_Webthey don't start from scratch
15:59:36scorcheLinusN: but they know much more about it than we do
15:59:51linuxstbThey'll have a nice SDK with APIs and example code...
16:00
16:00:04webguest20LinusN: why not? How do the develop then?
16:00:07GodEater_Webhehehe - can you imagine them stitting there like us trying to work stuff out by guessing ?
16:00:12scorchethey also know how to get past their own encryption and as i said, know much more about the hardware than we do
16:00:20LinusNportalplayer has a huge software library that they use
16:00:21scorchewebguest20: see linuxstb's statement
16:01:12LinusNyou don't just buy the chips from portalplayer, you buy a complete SDK
16:01:38webguest20LinusN: ...which is of course private, right? And not for sale? And if for sale then too expensive for a project like RB.
16:01:49scorchecorrect
16:01:56LinusNvery private
16:02:08linuxstbWe wouldn't/couldn't use their SDK anyway, unless they made it open-source.
16:02:16webguest20LinusN: aha! I never knew how "professional" development of FW goes.
16:02:46dewdudeheh, developing FW is almost as intensive as writing a os...which, is basically what they're doing
16:03:18webguest20 Heh, FW _is_ an OS
16:03:21LinusNafaik, the portalplayer platform sdk includes the os
16:03:43scorchewebguest20: not always
16:03:51linuxstbAs demonstrated by the similarity in the firmwares from almost every manufacturer of PP-based DAPs.
16:03:58LinusNexactly
16:04:24LinusNmost chipset manufacturers have the same concept
16:04:53dewdudebuild-one/supply-hundreds
16:04:59webguest20LinusN: hmm... well but RB has an OS since long time. But there are still difficulties with drivers, right? Since there's no information about the HW.
16:05:24scorcheon some targets, yes
16:05:43 Nick DreamThief|off is now known as DreamThief (n=mathias@p54A8297C.dip0.t-ipconnect.de)
16:05:45LinusNyes, the problem with rockbox is that we need all details about the hardware
16:06:23GodEater_Webhaving ALL the details would be nice - but we don't NEED all of them... just enough to run the bits that RB requires surely ?
16:06:36linuxstbThe more we know, the better RB runs.
16:06:39webguest20I think beginning at some point, creating a RB port for a new platform should be a breeze. Just write a couple of drivers. And their number is also very limited since the chips are the same.

16:08:11dewdudewebguest20, i don't think it'll be entirely that easy
16:08:54LinusNwebguest20: it is the "just write a couple of drivers" that is 90% of the rockbox development work
16:09:15LinusNor rather, 90% of the work is to reverse engineer the hardware

16:58:10scorchedewdude: what WPS are you using?
16:58:14PaulPositionBadger - Okay, so that means there aren't bootloader that are auto-built right?
16:58:18dewdudedark-geek
16:58:30BagderPaulPosition: the autobuilt ones are not provided for download
16:58:37scorcheand are you using the EQ and/or crossfade?

17:08:49amiconnThat would mean something went wrong while trying to set the first feature,
17:09:07LinusNamiconn: it probably can't, but that's the only explanation i could find when looking at the code
17:09:24amiconnbut the first feature is power management, and according to the identify data the drive doesn't support this feature
17:09:38GodEater_Webshouldn't word 88 indicate we've deselected UDMA after the set features call ?
17:09:56GodEater_Webamiconn - nothing returned -10 - don't worry

17:26:46curious1id like to know how much working memory does an apple ipod nano have?
17:27:10curious1also how much memory is available in an iriver 100 (my brother got such a device)

17:28:37linuxstbcurious1: Most devices have 32MB of RAM. Notable exception is the 60GB and 80GB ipod videos which have 64MB. (note the 80GB doesn't work with Rockbox at the moment).

17:29:11curious1oh thanks alot linuxtb! wow 32 is plenty
17:29:32linuxstbOther exception is the old Archos players, which have 2MB RAM.
17:30:21curious1okay one more question how does the iriver coldfire cpu compare to an arm9 or wahtever is inside the nano (i get for christmas)
17:30:46PaulPositionANYONE with some mi4 knowledge would tell me... I scramble the rockbox bootloader with ../tools/scramble -mi4v3 for both the H105gb MTP and 20gb MTP models.. There's a 5gb UMS one, does it need a different scramble scheme?
17:31:07linuxstbThe Nano has two 75MHz arm7tdmi cpu cores. The Coldfire runs at 124MHz.
17:31:17curious1i ask cause i modified the mod playing routines .. i removed all interpolation routines for clearer sound
17:31:39curious1and i need to know if i should remove oversampling from the tfmx routines im working on
17:31:44curious1for the ipod nano
17:32:20curious1i dont have the nano yet, but soon... so i jsut cant wait porting more mod replay routines for different formats
17:32:33linuxstbBTW, the new Nano is completely different to the old one...
17:32:50linuxstbRockbox only works on the older (1st generation) Nano.
17:32:53curious1no i get a generation one, a used one from ebay...
17:32:55curious1;)
17:33:53curious1is the coldfire cpu on irver faster? maybe the arm is more efficent since it is risc (excuse my bad english)
17:34:20preglowit is faster
17:34:46curious1ah thanks! nice ;)
17:35:08curious1i can test may stuff on irver and nano but i cant test for other devices
17:35:22curious1since this ui simulator doesnt really work for me
17:35:54PaulPositionANYONE with some mi4 knowledge would tell me... I scramble the rockbox bootloader with ../tools/scramble -mi4v3 for both the H105gb MTP and 20gb MTP models.. There's a 5gb UMS one, does it need a different scramble scheme?
17:36:30GodEater_Webthere appears to be an echo in here
17:37:22curious1i will also try to get future composer modules running and i saw that someone worked on NSF nes mods
17:37:57curious1so YM (atari st) might be possible too, i just need to find some routines for it
17:38:23GodEater_Webheh - that brings back memories - I used to have an ST back in the day

17:40:49curious1but what did i know back than

17:42:47curious1i dont know if my lousy code will ever make it to your cvs, but at least i will release it as a patch
17:43:08curious1and do a few builds for nano and iriver user (since its the only stuff i can test)

17:55:07crwl"latest" mod formats ;D
17:55:20GodEater_Webcurious1: add them as diffs to flyspray
17:55:52curious1well yeah, theres still a mod scene i think. however i do everything with midi today
17:56:40curious1i dont think we can include v2m though .... which would be the latest "scene" format i know of.... since it relies to heavy on cpu
17:57:09curious1and is basically a virtual vsti with midi
17:57:41curious1but of course, feel free to proove me wrong ;)
17:58:20curious1i admit as of yet i have no idea how to use the second cpu on the ipod nano (apartz form the fact i dont even habe my present now ;)
17:59:01curious1what i do right now is collecting replay routines for old mod formats. change the loader, cut all unecessary libs and build a codec
17:59:30curious1i will then have to test later which players run in realtime without further optimizing

18:44:59linuxstbHdaackdaa: A "patch" isn't designed to be installed by users (but it can be). A patch is a set of changes to the Rockbox source code, so you apply the patch, and then compile the new version of Rockbox.
18:45:09strabeshow do you apply patches?
18:45:16ArathisPaulPosition: am I right, that if I use current CVS builds I don't have to apply the patch anymore, but still have to build the bootloader (cause there is no solution for automatically build the bootloader and no solution for the problem that you can't use BL and RB from different CVS version?)
18:45:37linuxstbstrabes: With the "patch" command.
18:45:59strabesalrighty
18:46:01Hdaackdaaoh.. um, do the latest builds have patches already instaalled on them?
18:46:03linuxstbThere are various pages in the wiki about compiling Rockbox yourself, and working with patches.
18:46:17GodEaterand an enormous thread on the forums too
18:46:47Hdaackdaadont wanna do that right now. I havent still gone throuugh exploring my rockbox to the fullest yet :). but will do it soon
18:47:21PaulPositionArathis - Exactly, no need to patch anymore as it's been committed to cvs, but you'll need to build a bootloader.. Try with your current patched one first, maybe there hasn't been much changed between last version of patch you applied and the committed changes. :)
18:47:27linuxstbHdaackdaa: Your best option is to try some of the "unofficial builds" (see the forum with the same name) - these are builds made by users who apply patches and compile themselves.
18:47:36Hdaackdaabtw, can anyone send me the pacman.zip (need to try pacman). my ISP has blocked downloading from http and ftp sites for the moment
18:47:40PaulPositionArathis - Or I put a few pre-compiled 'loaders at mistic.

18:52:27Hdaackdaano. i hav already installed rockbox. its working great ! :)
18:52:41Hdaackdaai meant linux, side by side with apple os and rockbox.
18:52:54linuxstbNo, I've never worked on ipodlinux...
18:53:12Hdaackdaaoh ok.
18:53:17GodEaterrockbox is a tough enough commitment :)
18:53:33curious1@all: is someone working on "Weighted Playlists" aka the star ***** rating system from the apple ipod?... i think that'd be even more important than my oldschool module player ;)
18:54:04PaulPositionArathis - No problem but still when you update you'll need to update the bootloader.. It's just that rockbox.org will provide a link to it sooner or later. :)
18:54:27HdaackdaaGodEater: does any wps work (with album art) with the latest official build (cvs frm 18th dec 2006)?
18:54:59GodEaternot as far as I'm aware
18:55:07GodEateralbum art isn't in the official code tree
18:55:08PaulPositionHdaackdaa - If you want album_art you need to either start compiling OR find a pre-compiled build from someone (ie, check the 'unofficial builds' section of rockbox.org forums)
18:55:51Hdaackdaaok. btw, this wiki (the ipodlinux one) still has this old tutorial on installig rockbox on a 5.5G (http://ipodlinux.org/5.5g)
18:56:06ArathisPaulPosition: or someone figures out how to solve the problem so you would just need to build the BL one as it was with the non-dualboot one

18:57:17piquadrathi! I'm in the midst of writing a plugin which needs to read in a text file. Is there some documentation how to read in a file in a sensible way?

18:57:56GnelikHi all
18:57:57PaulPositionArathis - You shouldn't need to change bootloaders once you have one that is up to date with the committed changes.
18:58:49n1spiquadrat: there are lots of plugins that read files, viewer and text_editor comes to mind, maybe take a look there?
18:59:06PaulPositionArathis - When the patch was a work-in-progress, some things changed between builds, but now it should just be a do-once, maybe a re-do if sometime in the future someone finds out how to make it much better.
19:00
19:00:22piquadratn1s: good idea, thanks!
19:00:47PaulPositionArathis - I don't even think 'the changes have changed' since the one you tried yesterday so most probably today's rockbox build should work with your BL.
19:01:47 Quit Daishi ("Client exiting...")
19:02:21Arathis"make it better" means a real bootloader so after shutton OF down you can boot rockbox without doing a reset first?
19:04:26PaulPositionI don't think this would be possible though.. No, I meant something that may or may not have to do with dualbooting anyway. Barry and Dan's changes weren't meant to warrant a bl+rockbox couple yet it did for the H10 platform. Maybe (but just maybe) some such trouble may come again when, for instance, they find out how to use the second cpu core..? I just don't know.

Is the small blurb about installation in http://www.rockbox.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/IriverH10Port all there is right now? And do you have idea of a solid, no-nonsense wikipage for another target which would provide good styling for how install instructions *should* be written?
20:30:18plexnesenReplace [device] with the number (Windows users) or device name (Mac OS X/Unix users) you've been using to access your ipod, and replace the XXXXX to match the name of the bootloader file you downloaded in step a).

21:36:38Helio_NamiI got an old schol 2nd gen ipod 20gb and was wondering if Rockbox would work on it.

21:37:10PaulPositionHmm.. Anyone with edit rights for the wiki willing to give me some access.. ? I might be adding some things regarding installation/dualboot on the iRiver H10 target but for now I would just like to be able to test/draft modifications from my 'personnal' wiki page..
21:37:26Helio_Namiwould I have to ask for a feature request for that then?
21:37:27n1ssure, name please

21:37:41PaulPositionAnd thanks :)
21:38:49dan_aHelio_Nami: None of the devs have 1st or 2nd gen iPods. I don't think there's a huge amount of difference between the 1st, 2nd and 3rd gen iPods, so it might be worth trying it and seeing what doesn't work
21:39:07n1sPaulPosition: done

21:40:25n1s?
21:40:27PaulPositionThen if I (and Barry) are happy with result I could copy-paste 'em in the right place afterward..
21:40:55PaulPositionn1s - I'm UNwilling to put any change in before someone more in the know have a look at it. nevermind. :)

22:52:14martian67ok it turned on
22:52:16martian67weird o.O

23:34:30 Join MarcoPolo [0] (n=MarcoPol@virlet.rez-gif.supelec.fr)
23:35:00PaulPositionDoomed - As it is, those bootloaders are probably dated a few months ago.. (you mean those from the wiki H10-Port page, right?)
23:35:01Doomedkk, cause barry says its now dual boot on the front bag
23:35:08Doomedyeah from the wiki
23:35:29PaulPositionDoomed - Yes, and unfortunately, the new Rockbox build NEEDS the new bootloader (and vice-versa)..
23:35:50Febspetur: I'm looking forward to getting a line-in dock and testing out recording on the ipod.
23:35:57Doomedim starting to think that after the H10 wont boot
23:36:02PaulPositionDoomed - But we're looking at having those autobuilt and linked to. I'm re-doing the install guide at the moment while I wait.
23:36:12PaulPositionDoomed - No need to think, now you KNOW. ;)
23:36:14Doomedok, im looking for the thread now
23:36:34peturFebs: rockbox is a fun recording tool ;)
23:36:36Doomedk im reading now :D
23:36:47BagderPaulPosition: download.rockbox.org is now hosting the updated H10 bootloaders
23:36:55habanaIs there a patch on pastebin that would allow me to test cvs version for sansa ?
23:37:28Bagderhabana: why do you need a patch?
23:38:26Doomedhmm that "new' bootloader from download.rockbox doesnt seem to work for me
23:38:35habanabecause i suppose that a simple e200 file wont upgrade the firmware ?
23:38:39Doomedunless it was just updated
23:39:01Bagderhabana: ?
23:39:27BagderDoomed: it was
23:39:29habanaerr, i'd like to reinstall a dual boot on my sansa
23:39:42peturI convinced a former colleague to install rb on his h10, and he complained that brushing the touch strip can make volume go dangerously loud too easy. He suggests a setting for volume limit. Yes he knows about the hold functionality.
23:40:20Doomedhmmm btw has anybody fgured out how to get control from the whole touch strip?
23:40:20PaulPositionBadger - Ah cool, I'd go and have a look but right now I'm trying to finish writing a stub for a wikipage on installation to H10.. I'll update my links later tonight when I have tested.
23:40:52Bagderhabana: its in CVS, no need for any patch afaik
23:40:53Febspetur: the replaygain preamp or the eq pre-cut control can be used as a makeshift volume limiter.
23:41:13Doomedim getting 2 differnet sizes from PaulPosition and the rockbox site bootloaders
23:41:40petura volume cap setting would be easy to add... just don't know if it would be appreciated...
23:42:11habanaBagder:thank you , lost my brain between two subways
23:42:42peturFebs: replaygain & co won't limit voice volume
23:42:57peturalthough he's not using voice

23:43:20Doomedok well PaulPosition your bootloader works, as of now the download.rockbox.org does NOT work with my H10, maybe its not fully updated yet, dont know
