#rockbox log for 2006-12-26

00:00:51ASiDiEmaybe I will just stick with my iriver..
00:01:07ASiDiEplay movies... and does just what I want it too
00:02:34lostlogicASiDiE: you cna get at least a 30 if not a 40g drive for it for ~200
00:03:17Llorean40gb for $189.99
00:04:35lostlogicfor the 5mm drive?
00:04:39lostlogicwow, those have come down.
00:05:37LloreanYeah
00:05:41Lloreanhttp://www.ipodmods.com/shop/microsoft-zune-parts.html
00:05:47LloreanThe MK4009GAL
00:05:56LloreanIt tempts me for my H120
00:06:23lostlogicdamn, makes me want a h120->40
00:08:08LloreanI keep thinking that the drive of the size I want is about the right price, then a new drive shows up and I think "I'll wait for that to come down"
00:09:38lostlogichehe, how hard is it to change drives in a ipv, anyone know?
00:09:43lostlogicI could use 10 more gigs in my 5g
00:09:58*Llorean doesn't know.
00:10:11*cd_rom googles for the manual
00:10:16linuxstblostlogic: Just buy yourself an 80GB 5.5g...
00:10:23cd_romXD
00:10:34lostlogicnot that rich this month
00:10:35Lloreanlostlogic: And then get Rockbox working on it for us. :-P
00:11:30cd_romhaha
00:11:34*cd_rom nods
00:12:55dan_alostlogic: (going back to the COP subject) I did tests a while ago where I did a logf() if the codec thread was running on the CPU instead of the COP - and it was, at least some of the time. It might be worth trying that instead if the if(CURRENT_CORE == COP) since playback will still work if the thread is on the wrong core.

00:14:54RaverDavehello!
00:15:22 Quit [Gino] (Read error: 110 (Connection timed out))
00:16:28RaverDaveI was wondering why I cannot see the pluginzxbox, the spectrum emulator, in the list of plugins,or am i meant to??
00:18:23LloreanRaverDave: It's a viewer plugin, as it says on the plugin page
00:19:43cd_romrockbox source code is written in C?
00:19:59linuxstbC with a small amount of assembler.
00:20:24cd_romjeez
00:20:46cd_romi like to work on something but i think i need to learn C first!

00:21:44ydohmm.. how do I sleep?
00:22:16ydoon an ipod nano that is
00:22:32dan_aydo: Put it under your pillow?
00:22:36linuxstbYou don't sleep, you power-off by holding PLAY/PAUSE for a couple of seconds.
00:23:45ydook.. but bootuptime.. is there any plans on implementing sleep?
00:24:52ydo4s bootuptime.. not that much :)
00:24:59bagawkydo: nothing for rockbox really has a definate "will do by this date"
00:25:19bagawkIt is really up to the developers leisure, and interest
00:25:59linuxstbydo: I think the interest would be in decreasing bootup time even further.
00:27:10*dan_a wonders whether we can turn on cache earlier now with the new bootloader (for loading Rockbox, at least) to decrease bootup time
00:27:11ydooh, of course, I'm really happy I found this project and will rtfs any day now.. but now its time to sleep
00:27:42Lloreanlinuxstb: I think Rockbox from Bootpartition is almost as fast as I could ask for, though I guess Rockbox from Flash *could* be even faster.
00:28:07ydois it possible to profile?
00:28:24ydoor debug? perhaps through remote-gdb?
00:29:04linuxstbI think the WPS reading is one of the main ways we could speedup boot time.
00:29:18*Llorean agrees.
00:29:28LloreanThat's actually a good chunk of boot time isn't it?
00:29:46linuxstbydo: Yes, there is profiling code in Rockbox. You can use remote-gdb on targets with a serial port...
00:30:44ydoserial port huh ;)

00:51:22RaverDaveso its the same for gameboy then huh,you just put the roms in a folder and select em,as with spectrum
00:52:40linuxstbRaverDave: I think it's limited to 48K Spectrum games, but the wiki page _should_ say.
00:53:10RaverDaveyes,i think i just realised i got the 128k version of sabateur
00:54:41hotwire_I don't suppose anyone here can post on the main rockbox.org front page the news re gigabeat sound?
00:55:03tehsmoyay, dosfsck seemed to work well
00:56:36spugthe norwegian language file isn't up to date with the cvs, i can just change it, right?
00:56:56spugcvs says it's 4 weeks old, so unless that's just a "4 weeks or more", i guess someone is updating it regularly
00:56:57Lloreanhotwire_: Is Gigabeat sound in CVS yet?
00:57:26hotwire_Llorean: nope. Still in fork status.

00:57:42AghasterHi
00:57:43Lloreanhotwire_: Then wouldn't it be odd to announce it on the official page, if it's not in the official repository?
00:57:45hotwire_but if that's the requirement, good to know.
00:57:57AghasterA quick question, is video playback now supported in rockbox?
00:57:59*linuxstb is still waiting for the traditional "Gentlemen,..." email
00:58:00LloreanI don't know if there's a requirement
00:58:04LloreanIt just seems odd for me.
00:58:12LloreanA Gentleman, ... email is also customary, yes
00:58:29linuxstbAghaster: Yes, _video_ playback has been in Rockbox for a while..
00:58:40Aghasterin which formats?
00:58:41hotwire_Makes sense. There are some rockbox builds for the gigabeat floating around that readers of the gigabeat irc channel have been playing with.
00:58:53Aghasterwhat, not playback on an iPod video. playing videos.
00:58:56Aghasterjust to make sure
00:58:57linuxstbMPEG-1, and MPEG-2 video elementary streams.
00:59:03Aghasterok
01:00
01:01:25hotwire_linuxstb: what email is this?
01:01:48RaverDaveright,i got the game loaded,but hell i cannot get to play it,must have to setup the controller somehow
01:03:22linuxstbhotwire_: It's a tradition started here: http://www.rockbox.org/mail/archive/rockbox-archive-2002-05/0016.shtml and continued by everyone who has got sound working on a new target

01:16:02lostlogicmaybe this year we should do a US and EU devcon, video-linked
01:16:14Soapa video of a pie isn't as sweet
01:17:11*dan_a wonders if we could hold devcon in Austin, Texas. At around the same time as SXSW...
01:17:19lostlogicSXSW?
01:17:54dan_aSouth By Southwest. It's a band showcase, with several hundred gigs over a week or two.

01:22:11AghasterI wonder if many people use my Esperanto translation of rockbox.
01:22:34lostlogicvast majority still in EU, guess we'll just hafta get our travelin' shoes on.
01:23:27linuxstbQuick Rockbox question, to increase the main stack (for Coldfire and ARM), do I just change the 0x2000 in line 175 of app.lds?
01:24:16amiconnYes, but take care of iram size
01:25:02linuxstbI just noticed that....
01:25:18amiconn8KB stack is quite large imho
01:25:43amiconnMost ohread's stacks are smaller
01:25:58Aghasterare the new iPod nanos supported yet?
01:25:58amiconnMost other thread's
01:26:20*amiconn blames the Ins key
01:26:26spughmm, is LANG_TAGCACHE_DISK in english.lang supposed to be deprecated? both the desc and source are empty
01:26:41linuxstbamiconn: I'm trying to run the old mpa2wav plugin, and I'm getting crashes on my ipod, and stkov on the h140. So I'm wondering if it's really a stack overflow, or something else going wrong.
01:26:58 Quit spiorf (Remote closed the connection)
01:28:04linuxstbAghaster: No, the new Nano is about as far as the Zune is from being supported. (a long, long way).
01:29:50dan_alinuxstb: The Zune is based on the i.MX31, for which there is a 2000 page reference manual on the Freescale website. Once we get past firmware encryption, the Zune should be easier than the new Nano!
01:30:35linuxstbOK, so the Nano is even further away than the Zune...

02:00:02RaverDavecan i just ask, the spectrum emulator seems fine with 2 frameskip,but of course it has no sound,the gameboy emulator is slow as hell but has sound, so if the spectrum emulator had sound it would also be slow as hell right??

03:14:41metateckwhat possibilities are there that my ipod will be completely destroyed when i try to install rockbox?
03:14:56metateckit looks like if the firmware got messed up i could just restore it from itunes
03:15:01metateckbut what about the bootloader?
03:17:44RaverDavei have just installed it,its ace man..
03:17:57metatecki know i really want to
03:18:09metateckbut is it possible to restore the boot loader if that some how crashed?
03:18:14RaverDaveyes!you really do!!i am playing doom on the ipod atm
03:18:50metateckbut that doesnt answer my question
03:19:12linuxstbmetateck: The bootloader is just stored on the hard disk, so an itunes restore will wipe it.
03:19:21RaverDavei think you can?! wait for someone else to answer,i am as new as you,and to be hinest,i wouldnt want that itunes crap back..ever

03:20:16metateckoh
03:20:28metatecki thought it replaced the ipod bootloader on the cf card?
03:20:55metateckoh i guess it could just replace firmware
03:21:00metateckinstead of the bootloader
03:21:02metateckok im convinced
03:21:04metateckinstalling
03:21:11metateckthanks for talking me into it linuxstb
03:21:38RaverDave:(
03:21:48linuxstbThere is an Apple bootloader in flash, which normally loads the Apple firmware from disk. The Rockbox bootloader attaches itself to the Apple firmware on disk, so the Apple bootloader runs it.
03:21:55metateckokk coo
03:22:24metateckRaverDave, i was already convinced it was cool, just worreid about problems with it. i couldnt install it without my question being answered
03:23:06RaverDaveyeh ok,i wasnt as caution..whateva as you,but then again i couldnt have given a toss if itunes were wiped off the planet
03:23:34RaverDavenever mind from my ipod
03:23:39metatecki was worried about destroying my ipod on the first day
03:23:43metatecknot itunes

03:40:55metateckturn it on at the POST?

03:52:59linuxstbThat just isn't implemented yet in Rockbox.
03:54:07metateckok good.
03:58:17Kingsqueakanyone that worked on this, thanks! somehow I never saw this project until tonight and it 'fixes' many things I didn't like about the stock iPod
03:58:35metatecksuch as?
03:58:38metateckim just curious
03:58:46Kingsqueakparametric EQ is a major one for me
03:58:46metatecki installed it 10 minutes ago
03:59:04Kingsqueakit actually works well and the frequencies are pretty accurate as well as the 'Q' widths
03:59:43Kingsqueakgetting rid of the insane iPod folder hierarchy was another major bonus, I only use linux, don't even have a Win machine so dealing with that is a pain
03:59:57metateckthat would bug me
04:00
04:00:01KingsqueakI'd rather just copy files over
04:00:13metateckyeah i hate itunes
04:00:49KingsqueakI was using gtkpod, but I'm just not a fan of being bound into a GUI
04:01:06metatecki want a gui
04:01:20metateckim browsing wps files now
04:01:26metatecki wouldnt mind if i had a keyboard
04:01:54Kingsqueakoh a GUI on the iPod itself, yeah that's o.k. just didn't like having to use gtkPod....though it worked well
04:02:06metateckoh
04:03:20Kingsqueakthe stock iPod EQ settings were so horrible, this is really great
04:03:34metatecki havent listened to music yet with it
04:03:40metatecki actually dont even know how yet
04:03:51KingsqueakI was a sound engineer for years, so being able to just poke out the frequencies I already know I want adjusted is fantastic
04:04:36Kingsqueakanyone know, does the EQ in rockbox affect line-out feed as well as the headphone out?
04:04:48metateckisnt that the same?
04:05:14KingsqueakI *think* that's a hardware restriction in the iPod, as far as the signal path
04:05:25Kingsqueakno, line-out is what you get via the dock connector
04:05:38Kingsqueakit's a fixed gain level output, doesn't go through the headphone amp circuit
04:05:40metateckoh i didnt think about those
04:05:47metateckthe only thing i dock to is my computer
04:06:11KingsqueakI'll be using this with a headphone amp and have dock connectors coming to make my own line-out cables for that
04:06:14Cazovwell...this is inconvenient
04:06:18Kingsqueakit's also handy for car use
04:07:59metateckdoes this still play video?
04:08:20KingsqueakI don't believe so, I never use that anyway
04:08:33metatecki do for diggnation podcasts
04:09:20Soapplays only mpeg 1 and 2 elemental video streams.
04:09:26Soapno sound yet.
04:09:30metateckok
04:09:47metatecki guess i can still just use the appleware for that

05:20:48scorcheno way to tell
05:20:55scorcheand i cant answer for ipl
05:21:25scorchei can tell you that it wont happen if things keep going as they are with no one stepping up that wants to make a port happen
05:21:44doopyoh
05:22:11doopyI do, but im not as good with C as probably is required
05:22:24scorchethen get to learning! ;)
05:23:26*doopy looks online at his local library for a book on C
05:23:51scorchei recommend *the* C book, but it might be a little heady for beginners
05:24:10scorcheat least, that is the one i hear being recommended each time..heh
05:24:12CazovA Book on C is decent
05:24:22Cazovit is pretty dry though

05:38:24Cazovhmm...that version sounds more outdated than the one I have
05:38:33Cazovthough I do admit that there are portions that are pretty dated

07:50:58TheCollectorno
07:51:04tychverit's a little early to draw conclusions but that could mean that we will struggle with playing 320x240 mpeg2 with sound
07:51:07TheCollectorthe mini was a line before the nano

07:53:35tychvertakes far too long to compile for my liking

07:55:23JdGordon_i'd stay with etch, but its not quite ready yet
07:55:28tychveryeah that's true, usually it's painless, but updates to large packages can take a couple of hours to fix

08:02:24Cazovfor all its bloat, portage is a pretty nice package manager
08:03:07tychverfeatures wise portage is the nicest CLI package manager, it's just slow as a drunk sloth
08:03:11Cazovyeah
08:03:37TheCollectorI fiddled with gentoo once, but the install was just way too much of a pain
08:03:41tychveralso gentoo now has a basic gui installer
08:03:46TheCollectorhuh
08:04:06Cazovyeah, the install can be a pain the first few times
08:04:45tychverI've only used the GUI gentoo installer once but it pretty much dumps a stage 3 install and a generic kernel on there for you

11:59:06linuxstbI was simply trying to find out a) Exactly what medios is - i.e. is it a complete firmware replacement like Rockbox, or does it use parts of the existing OS; and b) What devices it works on, and how well each one is supported.
11:59:41JdGordonand pendig those answers.. ill swap my h320 for it if you want :D
11:59:57daurnimator1, depends on device, previously yes, but on newer devices, no one has bothered with a bootloader, and people have used the original firmware as a launcher
12:00
12:01:12linuxstbBut when medios is running, does it then replace the existing firmware. i.e. does medios contain drivers for all the hardware itself?
12:01:41daurnimatoryes, it does
12:02:40linuxstbI also saw a link to a firmware downgrader for the 402 - does that mean you have to run an older version of the Archos firmware in order to use medios?
12:02:43daurnimator2, Archos: JBMM, AV1XX, AV3XX, Gmini 400, Gmini 402, Gmini 402CC, AV400
12:03:30daurnimatorYes, the most stable exploit works best on firmware 1.3.11. We can run it on other firmwares, but it sometimes crashes for no reason during medios boot.

13:42:11dan_aGood point. Nothing seems to, but I'll do it your way for safety. Does playback work correctly with NUM_CORES set as 2 and CURRENT_CORE correctly defined?

13:44:03barrywardellyes, playback works. i don't see a main thread on the cop though

13:59:33dan_a(It might be something as small as needing another thread before the main thread will show up)
13:59:40LloreanJdGordon: I think that I like it, other than the "Replace" name. I prefer something like "Play Next" as that, to me at least, suggests that playback won't stop, but will continue onto the new selection rather than through the current list.

14:00:36JdGordoni agree... its ready to commit, play next is better than replace?
14:00:44JdGordonwont that be cofusing with insert next?

14:01:51LloreanMaybe "Restart Next"?
14:02:57JdGordonhmm play next sounds better..
14:04:07LloreanReplace just sounds to me like it'll interrupt playback, replacing the current song with the selected one.
14:04:28LloreanWhen you "Play" a song by clicking on it, it starts a new playlist, so "Play Next" seems to me like it'll start a new playlist, next.
14:05:29JdGordonrestart sounds odd tho. That really sounds like it will interupt playback
14:06:41JdGordon"so "Play Next" seems to me like it'll start a new playlist, next." <- well thats bassically what it does
14:06:46LloreanYup
14:07:02LloreanThat's why I suggested Play Next first. :-P
14:07:02JdGordonso that wording works?
14:07:04LloreanFor me, yes

16:30:37barrywardelldid you see dan_a's patch he wanted to commit to CVS? it just creates a thread on the second core
16:31:28barrywardellthe only thing stopping him committing it was that the main thread wasn't running on the cop on my h10, but he was happy for it to be committed after that was fixed

17:52:20lostlogicyah, so set_cpu_frequency should be called on 5g and h10
17:53:40barrywardellyeah, should be. and should set the frequency to 75MHz. are you sure there's nothing else causing the sluggishness (eg. eq or something)?
17:54:01lostlogicquite −− it was slower than unboosted.
17:54:06lostlogiceven before I hit play
17:54:48lostlogicplus, I run w/o priority scheduling, so the music woudl skip not the UI sluggish if it was running at normal speed
17:55:09barrywardellset_cpu_frequency() is for when frequency scaling is enabled. ipod_set_cpu_frequency() is for disabled and only gets called once (in system_init())
17:55:33lostlogicyah
17:56:00barrywardellwas the performance like that previously with frequency scaling disabled? or is it the new ipod_set_cpu_frequency()?

18:13:01lostlogicbarrywardell: with the old ipod_set_cpu_frequency and no adjustable, it is full speed UI, but still reports 11mhz in the audio thread screen.
18:15:02barrywardellthe number in the audio thread screen is just a hardcoded value read from config-*.h iirc
18:15:07amiconnThat's because without adjustable cpu frequency, the frequency is just a #define
18:15:30amiconn...which _should_ reflect the true value, but doesn't for ipod
18:15:35lostlogichehe
18:16:27lostlogicamiconn: so it seems that your comment on the memory being the bottleneck was probably on the money because with the codec thread on the COP and not yielding I can still cause audio skips by playing in the UI a lot (w/o priority scheduling)
18:17:00amiconnEither that, or it's a scheduler problem
18:17:18lostlogicwhich seems less likely since I removed the concept of yield from the codec api for those test

18:26:32jernsthello everyone, I'm helping a friend to whom I have installed rockbox (but he is now some thousand kilometers away so I have no physical access to his ipod video)
18:26:59jernstHe says that when he is putting his ipod on the outlet charger it is rebooting continuously
18:27:26jernstI read that pressing "menu" while putting the USB cable in the device could help but it doesn't seem so
18:27:31barrywardelllostlogic: I wonder is my new ipod_set_cpu_frequency() actually setting a really low frequency, or is it doing nothing and leaving the ipod at the default frequency? I wonder what happens if you make ipod_set_cpu_frequency() do nothing?
18:28:30hcsjernst: if the device was off it'll just go through that cycle, he'd need to boot it into disk mode (hold select and play while booting) or the apple firmware (hold menu while booting) to use the charger outside of rockbox

18:36:49hcsjernst: with the computer it will reboot into disk mode and interface via USB, with the power charger it will reboot into disk mode, notice there isn't actually any usb connection besides the power, and reboot, and when rockbox comes up it will just reboot again

19:17:08LloreanBut then, I've had a gut feeling for a long time we were losing power to the COP. Just one of those arbitrary "I have no reason, but it seems like the kinda misfortune that'd happen"
19:17:23lostlogicLlorean: :)
19:17:41lostlogicanother theory I have is to put the codec on the CPU and run the COP at 1/2 clock and put the other threads on there.
19:18:21LloreanWell, do we need to do that?
19:18:35LloreanI mean, we boost to decode, which goes from 35 to 70(75?)
19:18:59lostlogic30-75
19:19:00LloreanMightn't there be a point where we don't really need to boost very often, if at all, that results in a nice, fast UI like the people always say they want?

20:04:30jeffbwhat kind of 5.5g
20:04:40Kingsqueakthis is awesome, just got my headphone amp, between the para EQ in rockbox and now gain staging the 5G iPod, the sound is fantastic
20:05:21The-Thilotest
20:05:31Lloreandan_a: After the number of times I've seen people miss the connection between an error message and their install failing, I think my mind is unbogglable.
20:05:34jeffbThe-Thilo, what kind of 5.5g?

20:06:47The-Thiloomg if i write something it takes about 2min to send
20:07:08jeffbI could sure use the flashrom from your 5.5g 30gb
20:07:13jeffb:) :)
20:07:38The-Thilohave somebody icq who can help me ? -.-
20:08:25The-Thiloif yes my icq nr is 291130265 "Sklaventreiber"
20:09:14LloreanYou haven't even asked any questions yet. What part of the install instructions doesn't work for you?
20:09:38The-Thilojeffb do you have icq ? i cant write here it takes 2 min to send
20:09:51The-Thiloor add me my icq nr is 291130265
20:10:35jeffbLlorean, is it okay for me to post a request on your forums for a specific flashrom dump?
20:11:13jeffbThe-Thilo, I don't have icq
20:11:17Lloreanjeffb: Sure, put it in General Discussion, and I'll move it to Announcements, make the topic "Request for iPod 5.5G 30gb user" or something.
20:11:38jeffbLlorean, I have a special patched build of ipodlinux that makes it easy to dump
20:13:08LloreanHopefully you'll get a useful response then

20:20:32The-Thiloi tried to install rockbox
20:20:35Soapdan_a: and has that been confirmed?
20:20:35jeffbThe-Thilo, are you a linux user?
20:20:45Soapfor Soap loves the runtime testing.
20:20:48The-Thilono i use windows xp
20:21:06The-Thiloif i try to open ipodpatcher
20:21:18The-Thiloit close agan
20:21:23The-Thiloafter a very short time
20:21:35jeffbThe-Thilo, the 5.5g 30gb is a special installation
20:21:42LloreanSoap: I've done a runtime test on my Nano with and without the kernel_on_cop_5.diff with identical runtimes, but there's a new version which actually *might* show the coprocessor slightly increasing runtime
20:21:48Lloreanjeffb: It's not special
20:21:55Lloreanjeffb: The install instructions are the same for all supported iPods
20:22:03The-Thiloso can u explain it to me ? i would be very thanksfull
20:22:09jeffbLlorean, even the 5.5g with a sector size of 2048 bytes?

20:24:09The-Thilocan you explain me why the ipodpatcher is closing after opening ?

20:32:22webguest43does anyone know when rockbox will come out for 2nd gen ipod nanos?
20:32:32dan_awebguest43: No
20:32:43dan_aIt won't be soon.
20:32:56webguest43do you know like how many months?
20:32:59webguest43like 6 or so?
20:33:12scorcheimpossible to say

20:33:42bleakednot sure if anyone knows about this, but i used to throw various games on my TI graphing calculators.. one of the best games by far was Fall Down.. (basically a ball is constantly falling, while horizontal bars with random holes scroll up, while you navigate the ball through the holes so it doesn't touch the top)..
20:33:59bleakedwell, i was wondering if something like this could ever come to rockbox?
20:34:27Lloreanbleaked: There's no reason why someone couldn't program that.
20:35:15webguest43well then does anyone know any 2nd gen ipod nano hacks i can do?
20:35:25scorcheask #apple
20:35:48LloreanThis is #rockbox, and is specifically about the Rockbox firmware, rather than "things you can do to various players"
20:36:06bleakedwell.. i guess to rephrase.. do you know if anyone has considered writing it? to me, it's one of those staple games.. like bricks, tetris, pacman, jewls, etc..
20:36:19 Quit webguest43 (Client Quit)
20:36:33bleakedi think he was asking if there was an alpha or something available for 2nd gen ipods
20:37:01bleakedwebguest43, to which there probably is not at the moment.
20:37:04Lloreanbleaked: There's a game similar to it, in a way, on the misticriver forums. But generally games get made by people who decide they want to make them, and aren't really planned or anything. For example, you could go and make it.
20:38:06bleakedLlorean, oh i would do it in a heartbeat.. but i have basically no programming skills.. but i'm learning ruby with hopes to move to c.. so perhaps in the future :D
20:38:08LloreanYou could always post a feature request, and link to the TI-calc game.
20:38:20bleakedgood idea
20:38:28LloreanI mean, the feature requests tracker is there for exactly that sort of thing.
20:38:40LloreanTo give people who can program, but don't have any idea what they want to make, something to look at.
20:39:00bleakedit's not really a big deal.. i rather see dev resources go into audio playback and UI improvements.

21:17:20Nimdaei love the DMCA, it makes life so pretty
21:17:28LloreanNimdae: You assume that he lives in the US, and with iTunes, burning a CD and reripping doesn't violate the DMCA.
21:17:32Terinjokeserm, use iTunes to burn a CD of the songs....
21:17:46LloreanIt would in most cases, but Apple gives written permission to do so.
21:17:52NimdaeLlorean: right, but that license doesn't allow you to make additional copies, IE: ripping the burned cd
21:18:15Nimdaemicrosoft/urge is the same way
21:18:30Terinjokesit allows a backup copy, if the orginal just happens to be deleted from the computer, i'll just use my back-up...
21:18:38LloreanNimdae: Actually, Apple has told users to rip the CD in the past, for putting music on non-Apple MP3 players. I would say instructing a user to do it is "permission"
21:19:02Nimdaei'd have to see that before i'd commit to it
21:19:12Nimdaebut i have heard of companies saying similar things
21:19:24LloreanOf course, it's not blanket permission.
21:19:36LloreanYou'd have to get Apple to explicitly give you as an individual that instruction.
21:19:38Nimdaei had a video game company tell me to have a friend copy a game cd for me since my cd was damaged and they wouldn'ts end me a new copy
21:20:10 Part Terinjokes
21:20:47Nimdaethe only other way to replace the cd wsa to buy another copy and i told them i'd cancel my account with them if that was their solution
21:21:26LloreanWell, it was an MMO I assume then?
21:21:26Nimdaewow, vlc runs on beos? i didn't think beos was still around

22:15:56LloreanThe-Thilo: It's not hard, but we ask that *everyone* read the manual before asking questions. We have thousands of users, and a lot of people spent a lot of time writing the manual so that they could find answers for themselves.

23:15:45ydoyes, haven't seen anything like it in a while :)
23:15:52 Quit ashes ("leaving")
23:16:06Scottstonehahah
23:16:10*cd_rom nods toward ydo
23:16:25Scottstonebut seriously though
23:16:28Scottstonewhich do i want
23:16:36Scottstonebleeding edge build or daily build?
23:16:43*Scottstone :)
23:17:01Soapdan_a FTW.
23:17:21dan_aScottstone: There's very little difference (24 hours at the most,) so get bleeding edge
23:17:23ydoScottstone: daily
23:17:28ydo:)
23:18:08Scottstonedoily doesnt work
23:18:18Scottstonebut
23:18:19Scottstonebleeding does
23:18:22Scottstoneive got all the fiels now
23:18:53dan_aSoap: I've been seeing Sansa users complaining that not reading instructions doesn't work for the last few days. I've almost achieved the patience of Llorean!
23:19:04ydowhy isn't there any stable releases in over a year? there could at least be a beta?
23:19:42tsuyoshialright.. back from my parents' house
23:19:43Lloreandan_a: I think there's a small bonus to Sansa users: Once their device is 100% unusable, they're not likely to come back.
23:19:52scorchehaha///
23:20:00tsuyoshinow to install arm cross compiler and disassemble firmware
23:20:03Lloreanydo: How is a beta a stable release?
23:21:02Scottstonewtf my rockbox dl didnt have the fonts in it
23:21:06ydoLlorean: do you have several branches in cvs? isn't there ppl commiting stuff that is questionable and half-done?
23:21:09dan_aydo: There was a list of criterea made for the next stable release, which included getting rid of certain bugs. Unfortunately the evil developers were more interested in adding new ports and new features and new bugs than bugfixing so we never got there
23:21:17Lloreanydo: There are no branches in CVS.
23:21:32ydoLlorean: true, switch to svn ;)
23:21:50Lloreanydo: That's planned for about two weeks from now
23:21:55ydocool

23:22:06LloreanMaybe
23:22:11Scottstonei got a different address..
23:22:27Scottstonefrom Llorean
23:22:34dan_aScottstone: HOW?!
23:22:57cd_romScottstone: i don't think you are serious at all
23:22:57Lloreanydo: There was a feature freeze working toward a 3.0 release, but a few significant mistakes were made in how we began the freeze (for example, we planned to add features DURING it, just specific ones) and so we eventually had to cancel the freeze due to loss of focus, only a few developers were still pounding at the bugs.
23:23:26Lloreanydo: As well, the were a playback code rewrite, but we lost the person who'd done most of that to significant real-world stresses, and nobody else really stepped in to finish stabilizing playback.
23:24:03 Nick myzar|away is now known as myzar (n=myzar@66.199.227.210)
23:24:22dan_aLlorean: So for the next attempt at doing a release, we need to make sure that no-one has any Real Life getting in the way!
23:24:40tsuyoshior do a real freeze
23:24:56Lloreandan_a: The primary thing would be not planning to rewrite the playback engine during the freeze, I think. :-P
23:24:57tsuyoshireal life never actually stops, after all
23:25:04ydoyou need at least two branches and need to commit early and often
23:25:19Lloreanydo: We seem to have survived fine without that so far.
23:25:19ydolalala.. configuration managment cliches, I'm sure you know what I mean
23:25:22LloreanSo I'd hardly say "need"
23:25:23ydo:)
23:25:31dan_atsuyoshi: I was joking :)
23:25:38tsuyoshioh ok
23:25:44LloreanVersion numbers are an artifact of the unwashed masses and are unnecessary for our work to proceed. :-P
23:26:05LloreanBesides, when we do release a 3.0, everyone is going to shout forth a resounding "THAT'S IT?!"
23:26:17Scottstonek guys serious prob now
23:26:34LloreanBecause people can't get it through their heads that the major version number increment is in relation to 2.5, not in relation to the current CVS state, because DUH, the current CVS state is basically an alpha of what may become 3.0
23:26:35Scottstonethat ipodpatcher thing i need to dl
23:26:47Scottstonei open it, a dos thing coems up for about half a sec, then closes
23:27:03ydoScottstone: click start, run, enter "cmd"
23:27:09LloreanScottstone: Follow the INSTRUCTIONS. Don't just click on things.
23:27:13dan_aScottstone: http://www.rockbox.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/IpodInstallationBeta#b_Opening_the_Command_Prompt_or
23:27:51ydoLlorean: how many developers are you, I looked at the credits yesterday, it was something like 248?
23:28:13scorcheydo: i think somewhere around 60 now
23:28:14Lloreanydo: I'd say there are about 15 active core developers, at a rough guess.
23:28:16dan_aydo: Those are people who have contributed.
23:28:28ydoI don't mean to complain, it just a pity if time is wasted mailing around diffs...
23:28:41*Llorean wonders why they'd mail around diffs.
23:29:25LloreanI mean, yes, in some cases, .diffs have to be exchanged.
23:29:25Scottstonebah
23:29:25Scottstonescrew it
23:29:26ydocause they want to try things out on other ppl devices before commiting it to the trunk?
23:29:37Scottstonei was only gonna use it to play doom like once
23:29:45Scottstonetoo many instructions
23:29:54ydoScottstone: you can play .ogg too :)
23:30:16Lloreanydo: The simulators can be used for most non hardware specific stuff, and most hardware specific stuff only needs to be tested on one or a small sample of devices, since it's hardware specific.
23:30:37Lloreanydo: But there's also the patch tracker. If a developer is uncertain about a patch, they post it, and others try it.
23:30:58Scottstonewtf is .ogg
23:31:11SanitVorbis
23:31:22debauched_slothare there known issues running the simulator on a 64-bit linux box?
23:31:51debauched_slothI'm crashing loading codecs - some load and play fine, but others fail and all seem to corrupt memory
23:32:38ydoLlorean: but if several people want to code on the same things at the same time?
23:32:55 Join jeffb [0] (n=Jeff@c-71-229-131-227.hsd1.co.comcast.net)
23:33:19dan_aydo: CVS deals with that
23:33:21Lloreanydo: If two people are working on the same thing at the same time, usually isn't that a sign of poor communication? Or do you just mean "touching the same file"?
23:33:38amiconndebauched_sloth: mp3 (i.e. libmad) is known to have 64 bit problems
23:33:41ydobut do not want to disrupt the trunk, and work could be going on for months.. and the the trunk changes in these places.. the two or more developers need to do a huge cvs up and deal with integrating that.. its a hassle
23:33:50amiconnMost others should work fine
23:33:55debauched_slothogg seems to be corrupting memory, but it is closer to working
23:34:05ydodan_a: no.. CVS is very bad at that.. bitkeeper is much better imho
23:34:05debauched_slothmp3 is very NOT working
23:34:13amiconnLast time I tried, ogg was playing fine
23:34:38Lloreanydo: So, what you're saying is that the whole time you were working, you wouldn't resync with CVS once?
23:34:38debauched_slothogg plays, but then I get glibc memory corrupted skipping to next track - loading codec
23:34:56 Join Juice^ [0] (n=juice@213.167.96.196)
23:35:12dan_aydo: I've never used Bitkeeper - I use CVS for getting/committing Rockbox, and Git on my own machine to take care of the different things that I'm working on.
23:35:15ydoLlorean: not if the changes were so heavy it made no point
23:35:25ydogit is ok

23:48:18Lloreandan_a: The average user has enough patient to get Rockbox running, then say it looks like crap, get Doom running, say the controls suck, I think.
23:48:20 Quit Jelle-k ()
23:48:40Lloreanpatience
23:48:47Soapdon't forget the middle steps.
23:49:01Soap"Where can I get .wad files?"
23:49:08jeffbheh
23:49:12Soap"Where can I get gameboy roms?"
23:49:18jeffbso I guess I have more patience?
23:49:19tsuyoshithis one is hilarious: I know that Opera and Firefox both have ARM versions, so a port to RockBox shouldn't be too hard.
23:49:22yossaDoom controls suck, but I can't fix them :(
23:49:29yossaon sansa
23:49:37LloreanI do have to say though, that anythingbutipod.com users have caused me great fear in what we'll see an influx of once Sansa has sound.
23:50:27Soapso the sansa is brickable?
23:50:29tsuyoshioh this scratchbox thing is cool
23:50:33LloreanSoap: Yes.
23:50:47dan_ayossa: Sorry, your patch had slipped my mind
23:51:12LloreanSoap: Only if you replace the Sandisk bootloader, or write random files to it in recovery mode.
23:51:17Soapit is an inexpensive player. That alone is going to change the demographics.
23:51:31LloreanSoap: Neither of which do you even come CLOSE to doing unless you completely disregard the install instructions and just do random stuff.
23:51:59SoapI'm thinking of picking one up. Recording possibilities?
23:52:05LloreanBuilt in mic.
23:52:07LloreanFM radio
23:52:22yossadan_a: don't get to it just yet. It would appear that it is incomplete. Once fully working and playable versions are done, I will update the patches. Not for doom though (at least anytime soon)
23:53:00yossawell I guess the solitaire one is working as good as it will ever get.
23:53:02LloreanSoap: I'd say if Rockbox gets fully implemented on it, it'll make a very nice recorder.
23:53:20SoapLine in, not just internal mic?
23:53:22Scottstoneok guys
23:53:27Scottstonei have rockbox on my ipod
23:53:39Scottstonehow di i make it so i can choose my stuff at the start
23:53:44LloreanSoap: I'm not sure if it's by way of headphone socket, or dock port, but I'm almost sure there is one.
23:53:44dan_ayossa: OK - give me a poke when you think that anything is ready for committing
23:53:51yossaallright
23:54:00ScottstoneLlorean, when you have a min, could you tell me how to make it so its like dual thingy
23:54:14Soapit is dual boot by default, Scottstone
23:54:43Scottstoneno
23:54:47Scottstoneit auto loads rockbox for me
23:54:50Soapit defaults to Rockbox, and if you boot, and switch the "hold" switch on as soon as you see the Apple Icon, it will boot into Apple firmware.
23:55:05Juice^i tried the dual booting stuff on my sansa last week, and it just showed me some errors when i tried to boot to sansas orig firmware, was that a known problem thats been fixed?
23:55:15LloreanJuice^: It works fine for me.
23:55:26dan_aJuice^: It probably means you've not decrypted the OF
23:56:08Juice^ah. yep thats right. i need to run the decrypting tool
23:56:13Juice^i forgot :)
23:56:31Scottstoneguys help!
23:56:41Scottstonehow do i make make it dual boot
23:56:46Scottstoneit auto starts up as the rockbox os
23:57:07dan_aScottstone: [22:54] <Soap> it defaults to Rockbox, and if you boot, and switch the "hold" switch on as soon as you see the Apple Icon, it will boot into Apple firmware.
23:57:51Scottstoneok
23:57:56Scottstonesweet thanks guys!
23:58:01Scottstonewheres the doom tut??
