#rockbox log for 2006-12-30

00:00:07linuxstbLlorean: MPEG-1 or MPEG-2 program stream.
00:00:52Lloreanlinuxstb: Got it.
00:00:58linuxstbPaulPosition: No, I don't. I'll be encoding test files for all LCD sizes (we now have too many...), so I'll try and remember 128x128. I assume your LCD has square pixels?
00:01:05 Join webguest36 [0] (i=91740560@gateway/web/cgi-irc/labb.contactor.se/x-d71bcf58abb222fa)
00:02:26linuxstbdionoea: The Nano can do about 29fps full-screen with audio. My ipod Photo can just about manage 24fps at 16:9 "full-screen" (i.e. letterboxed 224x128). The gigabeat can handle fullscreen 320x240 with audio...
00:02:37linuxstbColdfire targets will struggle...
00:02:42 Part atrus_ ("Ex-Chat")
00:02:58linuxstb(and the patch won't work on Coldfire at the moment).
00:03:08PaulPositionlinuxstb - Indeed, the H10 has square screen of 128x128 so I assume square pixels :p
00:03:10dionoeanice :)
00:03:36linuxstbThis is with video decoding on the COP for the PortalPlayer targets.
00:03:41linuxstbThe main CPU is doing the audio.
00:04:28PaulPositionlinuxstb - I'm well aware that it is about utterly pointless to look at video on a device such as mine. Yet I'd like to see it work. :p
00:04:38dionoeavideo decoding includes conversion from YUV to RGB and display ?
00:04:58linuxstbYes. That's something I'm considering splitting between the two cores.
00:06:15linuxstbPaulPosition: You could try the 176x128 video. I _think_ mpegplayer will just crop it for you.
00:07:12PaulPositionlet's see :)
00:08:16midkaylinuxstb: what do you think about video+audio on the 5G?
00:08:22LloreanCan I ask for command line help with the VLC transcode?
00:08:25linuxstbhahaha

00:08:55linuxstbIt seems embarrassing to try and compete with the Broadcom chip...
00:08:57LloreanI'm not all too familiar with VLC, but I figured a quick hack of the .bat would be fine, but "−−sout=#transcode{vcodec=mp2v,acodec=mp3,vb=256,ab=128,width=%WIDTH%,height=%HE

00:10:07PaulPositionlinuxstb - Nope.. With larger file, Plugin returned error. No problem, though, I'll fiddle around with playing some music and see if I can trigger a freeze or two .. :p
00:10:07linuxstbLlorean: You may need to resample the audio as well, depending on the input.
00:10:32dionoeaerrr ... file.mpg
00:11:14Lloreandionoea: Thanks, I'll see if that works
00:11:21tychverdo we really need to decode video at such high fps? I think the ipov videos use 15 fps
00:11:25 Join tipok [0] (n=tipok@officesw.wnet.ua)
00:11:50linuxstbmidkay: Currently, mpegplayer can decode 320x240 video at around 21fps on a single PP core. That's without the conversion from YUV to RGB and blitting to the LCD. So if the second core could handle the yuv2rgb and blit _and_ audio, then we could get around that speed.
00:11:58Lloreandionoea: The problem is, video isn't showing along with the audio in media player classic like that
00:12:20dionoealike what ?
00:12:30Lloreandionoea: The file output by that command line
00:12:35linuxstbmidkay: So with optimisations, and using every cycle of both cores, it _may_ be possible to get 25fps or more out of it.
00:12:36LloreanI think it's audio only, the filesize is tiny
00:13:04midkaylinuxstb: cool :) though second-core access is also probably rather far in the distance too, i guess?
00:13:13linuxstbLlorean: What about viewing the file in VLC itself?
00:13:23linuxstbmidkay: No, mpegplayer (the patch I posted) is using the second core...

00:14:28linuxstbmidkay: It's never been _that_ unknown. dan_a has done the work to implement a kernel on the COP, and there's a patch in the patch tracker from lostlogic which builds on that and runs the codec thread on the COP.
00:14:34Lloreandionoea: Also, a different VB
00:14:36TerinjokesLlorean, I assume your computer is set up so it compiles rockbox correctly (unlike mine...)

00:15:47webguest00hey. sorry to inturupt the vlc conversation but i'm having a problem with rockbox on my ipod. Well its a problem with the boot loader. I've just installed it and it works fine but i cannot load the original apple OS - it just keep cycling. Any ideas?
00:15:52midkaylinuxstb: that's very cool.. i've been out of the loop for too long :)
00:15:53dionoeaLlorean: append -vvv −−extraintf=logger to your command line and see what error messages VLC outputs
00:16:11dionoeaLlorean: or just try adding fps=25 in transcode
00:16:25dionoeampeg2 doesn't accept all framerates ... maybe your source frame rate is incompatible
00:16:58linuxstbwebguest00: Which ipod do you have?

00:18:36webguest00i did see it on the forums but didn't see much else
00:18:42Terinjokesmy guess would be to restore the apple os, and manually install the bootloader/rockbox
00:18:47webguest00just checking if there was any more indo
00:19:03Lloreanlinuxstb: It seems to play a 700kbps video with 128kbps audio at 25fps just fine
00:19:11LloreanAt nano resolution
00:19:13linuxstbNice.
00:19:18midkaylinuxstb: i don't see lostlogic's second-core patch.
00:19:27webguest00manually? i thought thats how we did it anyway?
00:19:41Lloreanmidkay: It's at the end of the comments on the coprocessor patch
00:20:13Lloreanlinuxstb: Scratch that, it is doing some framedropping, but the audio was fine the whole time

00:20:57 Quit ender` (" A psychiatrist is a fellow who asks you a lot of expensive questions your wife asks for nothing.")
00:21:17linuxstbBut is it skipping a lot of frames, or just occasionally?
00:21:20Lloreanlinuxstb: Yeah, I was just trying 700 because that was in the sample that dionoea used and I wanted to remove any stupidity I might have caused. I'm trying 256 now
00:21:41linuxstbThat may be too low... But probably a good place to work up from.
00:21:45LloreanThat's what I figure
00:21:59LloreanLots of frames at the end of the video, but it was a very very very active scene

00:23:24linuxstbSoap: We need someone to do all that kind of testing and come up with good encoder settings for Rockbox use...
00:23:25Lloreanlinuxstb: Actually, 256kbps video still looks pretty good.
00:24:26LloreanFor the Nano's screen, I'd say it's actually good enough
00:24:26Soapkind of funny when your audio is almost the same bitrate as your video.
00:24:52linuxstbI was just thinking that... These .mpg files are smaller than my FLACs...
00:25:16dionoeaLlorean: i guess that you could improve quality and keep the bitrate low by tweaking some ffmpeg options (like I frame ratio and stuff ...). But i don't have a clue about how that works
00:25:58linuxstbIs it skipping any frames at 256kbps?
00:26:05Lloreanlinuxstb: Not noticeably
00:26:09LloreanIf it was, I couldn't tell
00:26:26LloreanI'll run it again with frameskip off and without the limited framerate, shall I?
00:27:06tychver320x240 @ 15 FPS is 384kbps :S
00:27:06linuxstbThat could be interesting. In the past, ffmpeg-encoded files have been slower to decode than my mpeg2enc-encoded elephants dream clips.
00:27:25linuxstbtychver: How do you work that out?
00:27:35linuxstbAh, based on the Nano at 256kbps?
00:27:49tychverthe mpeg 2 profiles page on wikipedia
00:28:32SoapTMPGEnc is free for MPEG1 encoding, and it allows you to play around with the quantization matrix, which might explain the performance difference between same-bitrate encodes between two different encoders.
00:29:09Lloreanlinuxstb: 30fps, give or take 1 in variance.
00:29:24linuxstbSo about the same as the ED video.

00:35:31tychverthat would probably be me then
00:36:11midkaylinuxstb: hm, so what have you got for 5G so far on mpegplayer? is it using both cores? decoding audio?
00:36:21tychverit might be worth the motion trade off if you could go to a higher bitrate
00:36:42Lloreantychver: I'd rather have smoothness with artifacts than frameskipping with clarity in most cases.
00:37:47linuxstbmidkay: mpegplayer is the same on all portalplayer targets (the patch I posted earlier, not CVS) - video on the COP, audio on the main CPU, playing .mpg files.
00:38:34midkaylinuxstb: that's great.. any thoughts on it getting CVS'd soon? gotta run in a few minutes, but it sounds really cool, i'll have to try it when i get back.
00:38:45Lloreanlinuxstb: I think there's something wrong with frameskipping
00:39:19linuxstbmidkay: It relies on the kernel-on-cop patch being submitted first. It's also needs a lot of cleaning up.
00:39:20webguest00Terinjokes: thanks for the advice - installing everything the old fasioned way workes like a charm. Guess the beta version isn't good for the 4th gen ipod yet

00:40:17Terinjokeswebguest00, glad it worked
00:40:25tychverok
00:40:42tychverwell I shall run a clean CVS, patch and try 24fps
00:40:47Lloreantychver: Even 25fps is not *wholly* consistent on the Nano, depending on the file, for example it dipped to about 23 in this one
00:41:12tychverah right, maybe I shall stick with 15 then..
00:41:23Lloreanlinuxstb: Should video be able to catch up with audio if it falls behind?
00:41:32LloreanBecause mine fell out of sync and has caught up.
00:41:41 Quit amiconn (" HydraIRC -> http://www.hydrairc.com <- The dawn of a new IRC era")
00:42:57linuxstbLlorean: mpegplayer doesn't attempt a/v sync yet. It just plays audio at full-speed and attempts to play video at the correct speed if you enable the limit fps option.
00:43:31Lloreanlinuxstb: There's definitely *something* funny going on then
00:44:07Lloreanlinuxstb: This scene plays at 27 fps with speed limit on. The video falls behind the audio, and then catches up a bit later if the limit is on, and if frame skip is enabled, there's some heavy frame skipping in the scene.

00:51:20linuxstbThat sounds normal to me...
00:51:55linuxstbmpegplayer is always trying to display frames at the correct time. If it falls behind, it will catch up (if the CPU can).
00:52:01Lloreanlinuxstb: The file is 25 fps. It runs faster than its native framerate throughout the entire scene, but if I have the limit on, it runs slower than its native framerate at a certain portion.
00:52:29LloreanThat's more the interesting thing, it's frameskipping on a file that can be decoded faster than realtime
00:52:40amiconnThe build table is looking really odd...
00:53:13linuxstbThe displayed framerate is the average since the start of the file. So if it decodes a second of audio too slowly, that may not affect the average.

01:00:22LloreanWell, I have to be off for a bit. As far as I can tell then, mpegplayer is working as intended, and 256kbps video seems about right. The quality looks fine to me at least (in fact it may even be able to go a bit lower) but there was that little bit of frameskipping when the whole scene panned, so it's still maybe much to decode.

02:59:18LloreanThere are a couple people hacking away at it though, so I imagine in time one of them will solve it
02:59:26Craig_i'm sure :-)
02:59:53Craig_i really hope it's soon. just wish i had a bit more knowledge and could help!
03:00
03:00:44krazyndn411quick question - on an autoupdating ipod, is all the music from before installing rockbox accessible with rockbox?
03:00:54LloreanWell, once the disk problem is solved Rockbox ought to work as well on the 80gb as it does on any other iPod.
03:01:09Craig_i look forward to that!
03:01:40Lloreankrazyndn411: Rockbox does not cause the contents of your music partition to be modified other than the files that you copy onto it.
03:02:27Craig_from what i have read you can use database for rockbox to read the contents of your "itunes" music files
03:03:04krazyndn411cool
03:03:25Craig_what ipod have you got?
03:03:43krazyndn411video - 30gb
03:03:58krazyndn411i wanted to play flac content :-\
03:04:26Craig_i almost wish i had one of those - i got the 80gb unexpectedly for xmas and can't install rockbox :-(
03:04:29LloreanIs there some reason you can't?
03:04:31krazyndn411plus - rocbox sound customization is so much nicer
03:04:46krazyndn411i can't browse any music right now
03:05:01Craig_:-/
03:05:24Craig_was it all transferred with itunes?
03:05:33krazyndn411yeah
03:05:35krazyndn411before i installed rockbox
03:05:35LloreanYou shouldn't be able to transfer flacs with iTunes though
03:05:51krazyndn411i haven't transferred any yet
03:05:51krazyndn411i just wanted to
03:06:33LloreanIf you're planning to use Rockbox for music, iTunes really isn't the way to go anyway.
03:06:43LloreanBut database can find and index all your non-protected iTunes songs
03:07:21Craig_i wish companies would just see how much they're shooting themselves in the back with all this DRM crap
03:08:02Craig_all i want is to use my ipod as a harddrive with a regular folder structure that can access all my music
03:08:05krazyndn411all of it is non protected...i think i will reformat anyways...i tunes 7 really pisses me off because
03:08:18SoapApple's choice to use a database system has nothing to do with DRM
03:08:44LloreanSoap: But their choice to obfuscate filenames was likely to make it difficult for users to copy files off it
03:08:46Craig_it has to do with stopping you from copying as easily back to computer
03:09:01LloreanSoap: What thread did you think I'd killed, by the way?
03:09:08SoapLlorean: the argument has been made that the database is faster because of the consistant and small file names and sizes.
03:09:33SoapLlorean: and that if they /really/ didn't want you moving files off they would remove the (unneeded) metadata/tags.

03:10:12SoapCraig_: copy them back, any decent tagger will rename and organize them for you.
03:10:52 Quit Mouser_X (Read error: 110 (Connection timed out))
03:11:09LloreanSoap: I don't imagine the consistency of the filenames was necessary to make the database faster, especially since until recently it was possible to allow the database to use longer names which means it wasn't hardcoded to depend on or expect short ones, or optimized to use them in some special way.
03:11:09Craig_i know there are ways and i know exactly how to do them. it's just a pain that i can't drag my music folder straight onto my ipod and browse it
03:11:26krazyndn411hmm
03:11:33krazyndn411i like this new way of browsing
03:11:39krazyndn411i think i'll reformat
03:11:48LloreanSoap: I'm not saying that there wasn't a performance advantage, just that it seems unlikely to be a primary reason (to me, but I'm not invested in this, I honestly don't care why they did it, it's silly either way)
03:12:20Craig_if the filename argument is true, how come other manufacturers don't do it?
03:12:35Soapit is silly, and I still believe the existance of tags proves they didn't do it to screw anyone.
03:12:56SoapCraig_: name another system with as fast of a database when dealing with 60GB of music?
03:13:06Soapsorry
03:13:09Soapenough OT.
03:13:29LloreanSoap: I think the existence of tags is laziness. I don't think it was a *deep* effort to screw anyone, just a token effort to keep the most casual users (which honestly, is what iPod sells to primarily) confused.
03:13:50LloreanBut, on the plus side, the remaining tags makes our Database able to incorporate iTunes infected iPods with ease.
03:14:09Craig_and also to try and make sure they use itunes to transfer music, which would probably encourage them to buy from the iTunes store
03:14:26Craig_i'm just a bit cynical
03:14:34*Llorean wonders if anyone has written a Rockbox-sync for a popular music manager yet.
03:15:10Soapwhen Foobar2000 gets opened and ported there will be only one popular music manager! ;)
03:15:19Llorean"When" or "If"?
03:15:31Soapnot if
03:15:32SoapIF
03:15:35Soapit's a big one.
03:15:38LloreanHehehe
03:15:47Craig_gotta love foobar
03:16:06linuxstbI've never understood developers who release "free" software, but keep the source to themselves.
03:16:06LloreanApparently you don't have to, I do see diehard winamp fanatics.
03:16:34Craig_but foobar is just so economical on cpu/memory usage
03:16:53Craig_winamp is nowhere near as good from that point of view
03:17:16Lloreanlinuxstb: I think there's a fear of someone forking and showing you up.
03:17:48LloreanI mean, there's always the option of a license that doesn't allow redistribution.
03:18:15tehsmoperhaps they also don't want to deal with a development community, and working with patches and such
03:18:44tehsmoit's easy to merge changes when you're the only developer. ;)
03:19:04Soapjust because you release the source doesn't mean you need to offer public CVS, or even more support than "Here. Are you happy now?"
03:19:10tehsmotrue
03:19:20tehsmobut then people will fork, and you get to llorean's argument
03:19:33Craig_nice speaking guys, i'm off
03:19:35 Part Craig_
03:19:35Lloreantehsmo: If you have a no-redistribution license, people can't fork.
03:19:40tehsmohmm. .true
03:19:44LloreanWell, not legally
03:19:56linuxstbThat's hardly Free software then..
03:19:57Soapyea, which is a new one to me. The two theories i had always heard were 1-contains code it shouldn't and 2-It is a royal mess.
03:20:10Lloreanlinuxstb: Aye, 'tis true.
03:20:45LloreanBut I mean, closing the source only seems to imply that there's something in the source that the user doesn't want other people to see.
03:21:04Soapor that you're a sucker and a free beta tester.
03:21:09LloreanHehehe
03:21:29LloreanHey, as long as it doesn't have some self destruct code in it that eats it when the retail product goes live, I'll be happy with the final beta.
03:21:42linuxstbBut I agree it's hard to open-source an existing closed-source application. It's completely different if it's been open source from the very early stages.
03:22:37*linuxstb is frustrated that mpegplayer is _just_ too slow for fullscreen video at 25fps on his photo... Too much framedropping.

03:23:58LloreanWhat bitrate are you encoding at for Photo?
03:24:40linuxstbI've been trying mencoder. First at 500kbps, then at 400kbps. The quality is still OK, so I'll try dropping it further.
03:25:19LloreanI imagine there's still room for optimizing too, anyway, right?
03:26:03linuxstbYes, I'm sure there is.
03:27:32SoapI'm making room for some benchmarking videos. I assume for benchmarking purposes it would be beter to encode to a small size, so that the FPS average has a higher degree of "resolution" (45 compared to 41 being more meaningful than 10 to 11?)
03:28:04SoapOR - should I benchmark at higher resolutions because low resolution tests aren't indicitive of high res performance?

03:28:58LloreanOr at least, something like it
03:29:05jeffbhehe
03:29:43LloreanI have to say, until today I've felt fairly indifferent about Video support, and suddenly, after watching 10 minutes of a TV show on my Nano I find myself thinking "I wish rebuffering worked..."

05:38:43Soapyou don't like the second half of that one?
05:39:10scorcheit was "meh"
05:39:36mdkescorche: boots now (loads faster too :)
05:39:41mdkescorche: about this patch...
05:39:51mdkegimme!
05:40:15scorcheSoap: heh..."can i get the link through a private message?"
05:40:22mdkeit crashes a lot especially when a bit low on battery, I think
05:40:27scorchemdke: look on the forums
05:40:35mdkeok
05:40:36Soapscorche: yea, I thought that one needed moved now.
05:40:45Soapwith LL and Febs gone.
05:41:29mdkewhile I'm here, I've also noticed that I seem to get random loss of my settings (such as font size and file view), is this a known bug, a fixed bug, or am I doing something wrong?
05:41:46scorchehow are you shutting off the device?
05:41:58scorcheor rebooting
05:42:18scorcheif you hard reset it (menu+select), it will not save them
05:42:35mdkeoh, probably I do some of those. Generally I do play+select
05:43:16scorchewhy?...it should go into disk mode automatically whenyou plug in the cable
05:43:40mdkeplay+select seems to make it shut down
05:43:59scorcheonly because holding play makes it shutdown
05:44:12mdkeah.
05:45:01mdkeis there a way to make it save my settings no matter what?
05:45:31bagawkhumm make sure the disk spins up before you shut it off
05:46:11bagawkplaying a song from another album or runing a plugin should do it
05:46:35scorchemdke: you can also save your settings to a file you can load yourself
05:46:51mdkeI tried that, but found that I couldn't figure out how to save the filename
05:47:03mdkewhich was so frustrating, I gave up
05:47:13scorchereading the manual helps
05:48:28mdkeI didn't think of that... I thought of it for a serious task like upgrading, but not something trivial like operating the thing
05:49:12scorchethe manual is...well, a manual...it has a variety of topics from simple, to advanced
05:49:30mdkeyes, I see that.
05:49:54mdkeBut I didn't have to read the Apple manual to operate it, so I guess it just didn't occur to me
05:50:04mdkeI'll read it
05:50:16mdkeand maybe file some usability bugs if I am not satisfied after that :)
05:50:24***Saving seen data "./dancer.seen"
05:53:43mdkescorche: I've found the custom build you referred to. What's the affect on battery life, do you know?
05:54:22scorchenot anything to worry about
05:54:30mdkeI'll give it a try then
05:56:57mdkescorche: sorry to keep bugging you, on http://mikeage.net/content/rockbox/index.php, is the correct one "noscaling" or "cpufreq3"?
05:57:11Soapgo with noscaling
05:57:20mdkeok, that's what I figured. Just to be sure :)
05:57:20Soapit locks the CPU at 75, and prevents the crashes.
05:57:21scorchewrong
05:57:32SoapI though cpufreq3 was still unstable?
05:57:35mdkeno?
05:57:39SoapI was getting to that though.
05:57:58scorchecpufreq3
05:58:13mdkeok. it's the good stuff?
06:00
06:00:03scorcheyou can use the noscaling build as well...it will drastically reduce battery though, but it is the only "for sure" way of getting rid of the issue
06:00:15scorcheuse that if cpufreq doesnt work for you
06:00:24mdkei'll try this cpufreq3 for now
06:00:25mdkethanks guys
06:02:09mdkekeep up the good work

06:21:03scorchewhat is wrong with it?
06:22:14tehsmoJackalSMP: if you mean, have they implemented support, sort of. there's an mpeg player that uses the cpu and gets 15-ish fps. but there's no support for the broadcom chip as of yet IIRC
06:23:41JackalSMPdoes the audi work /?
06:24:37tehsmowith the mpeg player? yeah, IIRC. although the whole thing is experimental and not in CVS or anything

11:02:12Coldtoasthow? it's not like there aren't craploads of other options
11:02:17nudelynif you have an ipod you can only buy from itunes. if you buy from itunes you can only play what you bought on an ipod (or computer with itunes)
11:02:52nudelynapple have 80% of the market. when MS got sued there were other options but they were still found guitly because they abused the monopoly they had with windows for force other things on people
11:03:24nudelynthough TBH i don't agree with much of the MS case. shipping IE for free didn't stop anyone using firefox.
11:03:29nudelynor netscape at the itme
11:03:44nudelynnetscape not being updated for a couple of years stopped people from using netscape :)
11:03:48linuxstbIf you have an ipod, you can buy non-DRM-protected music and play that. You don't have to buy music from ITMS.
11:03:54Coldtoastit's not Apple's fault they have an 80% marketshare
11:04:01Coldtoastunlike Windows, where if you want certain things you HAVE to use Windows
11:04:03nudelynhaving a monopoly isn't what's illegal <<<
11:04:19nudelynif you want to buy music online much of it is only available on itunes
11:04:26cynicalliberallinuxstb: you're overestimating the average tech-user
11:04:29nudelynand apple refuse to licence their DRM system to anyone else
11:04:52nudelynso they lock people in to using one of their products because they're already using another one

11:05:41nudelynSony and Microsoft are just as bad, but they don't have enough market share to be considered a monopoly, I guess. Or they'll be sued next once Apple is out of the way, if the case succeeds, perhaps.

11:06:45Coldtoastthe ol' PS3 doesn't seem to be doing so well at the moment
11:07:22nudelynnot surprising. it costs a crazy amount and has only one good game at the moment, and is no more powerful (in real terms) than the year-old 360.
11:07:52nudelynnice to see the arrogant bastards at SCE fail at least a little, though i'm sure the PS3 will still be a success due to brand loyalty. (and i'm sure i'll buy one eventually for some exclusive title)
11:08:15Coldtoastfail a little? they've failed spectacularly in recent years
11:08:30nudelynnot the SCE part (the console division)
11:08:34Coldtoastoh. yeah
11:08:50Coldtoastpersonally, I never did like the Playstation
11:08:56Coldtoastno version
11:09:06Coldtoastloved the xbox tho. amazing things when modded
11:09:29nudelynI don't like the PS2 hardware but there were some good games for it. THey could've been done on another platform though.

11:10:09Coldtoastmaybe if I were a bit younger I'd be more into consoles
11:10:11nudelynor lie about why they had to remove rumble from their controllers
11:10:49Coldtoastheh
11:11:10nudelyni like consoles. much less hassle than pc gaming in terms of drivers and keeping hardware up to date, and you can play them on the sofa. :)
11:11:20Coldtoastweird how everybody (who I've ever talked to) never used rumble but when they dumped it, everybody was up in arms

11:11:42nudelynrumble is used in just about every game these days
11:11:52Coldtoastyou don't have to enable it tho
11:12:08Coldtoasteverybody I know never has it enabled
11:12:10nudelynit's enabled by default. you'd have to go out of your way to disable it. (or use a Wavebird)
11:12:22nudelynyou know strange people :)
11:12:31Coldtoastwell.. on the PSX controllers it's a one button operation if I recall
11:12:55nudelynthat's the Analog toggle not rumble, if it's what i'm thinking of
11:13:05Coldtoastoh. probably
11:13:28Coldtoastanyway. on teh xbox, I only ev er enabled rumble to show my friend how I'd connected LEDs to the rumble. heh
11:13:49nudelynhehe
11:14:29Coldtoastthe most gaming I've ver done on a console is on my DS tho
11:14:49Coldtoastas in I've picked that up more than I've used any home console I've ever owned

11:17:16norlatchmy player is shutting don suddely after upgrading to anewer build
11:17:44norlatchi have the battery fully charged but it says its empty and shuts down
11:19:15linuxstbHave you tried the original firmware?
11:19:27 Quit Mouser_X (Read error: 110 (Connection timed out))
11:19:47norlatchi did
11:19:48linuxstb(and does reverting back to an older build fix it?)
11:20:02norlatchand strangly it also says the battery is empty
11:20:14norlatchi dont have an older build
11:20:29norlatchat least i cant find one on the website
11:20:29linuxstbYou can download them from the "older" link on the daily builds page - going back 30 days.
11:20:49norlatchi doubt that will be enough
11:21:04linuxstbBut if the OF is also showing an empty battery, it doesn't look like a Rockbox issue.

11:22:26norlatchi recharged the battery
11:22:52norlatchthe voltage was at about 4.12V
11:22:59norlatchthen updated the software
11:23:06Juice^does themes work on the sansa e2xx yet?
11:23:20norlatchand when i started the player it showed 2.97Volts and shut down
11:24:28linuxstbIt's the bootloader that displays the voltage at boot-time - and that hasn't changed for months afaik.
11:24:38norlatchi just tried to download an older bild the website seems to havesome problems
11:24:48linuxstbBut you should wait until a hardware guru is around who might have more ideas...
11:25:53norlatchok i wont be here for a couple of days (new year and all) now but thanks anyway

13:00:10muckerHi I was thinking of buying a sansa c200 player. I was wondering if it is possible to port rockbox to it?
13:01:04bluebrothermucker, you're aware of the fact that porting Rockbox is a major task?
13:01:24bluebrotherread the NewPorts wiki page for some information about porting
13:01:32linuxstbi.e. months of hard work...
13:01:41Genre9mp3mucker: why not going for an e200 instead?
13:02:19muckerI'm interested in starting it as a hobby
13:02:46muckeri've got a working knowledge of C but don't have any knowledge of embededded programming
13:02:55bluebrotherwhy not start working on Rockbox with an already working device?
13:03:18bluebrotherthe e200 series needs still work ... and the other ports also have room for improvements
13:03:47doktoreassorry is this line ok for backup firmware? ./ipodpatcher /dev/sda2 -r bootpartition.bin
13:03:56muckeri already a h120 running on rockbox
13:03:57doktoreasor /media/IPOD ?
13:04:02linuxstbmucker: You should find out some things before trying a port - mainly what CPU is in the device, and how easy it will be to safely run your own code (i.e. is the firmware encrypted, is there a safe recovery method when your code crashes).
13:04:22linuxstbThat will make the difference between a (relatively) easy and hard port.
13:04:43doktoreasdf -h says that my ipod is here /dev/sda2 3.8G 2.1G 1.8G 54% /media/IPOD
13:05:13linuxstbThe CPU needs to be supported by GCC, and it will be a great help if a datasheet is publically available. If there's no datasheet, you'll need to reverse-engineer the existing firmware.
13:05:20muckerI had did a search on it and found some system schematics which I'd assume come in handy with embedded programming?
13:05:36bluebrotherdoktoreas, while I don't know exactly as I don't own an ipod I guess you'll need to use the disk instead of the partition, i.e. /dev/sda
13:05:37linuxstbmucker: Yes. Does that list the major chips?
13:05:48doktoreasnow fine sorry
13:05:57doktoreasi need to run by root

13:14:01doktoreasyes
13:14:29doktoreasselect?
13:14:39linuxstbmickael___: You could use the "loader2" bootloader written for the ipodlinux project. That gives you a boot menu.
13:14:52linuxstb(and also loads Rockbox).
13:15:18doktoreasok rebooted
13:15:37pixelmahold menu+select (center button) to reboot (unplugged usb) - then when you see the apple while it's rebooting press select+play - then you'd have to install an older daily (27th worked here)
13:15:44doktoreasi see a menu with clanedar Contacts Notes and rockbox
13:15:46mickael___linuxstb: i install the linuxipod boot loader, and put the rockbock files into the root directory of the ipod?
13:15:50daurnimatorlinuxstb: what are you thinking about the 402?
13:15:56linuxstbdoktoreas: That's the file browser, not a menu.
13:16:02doktoreasif i select rockbox it bring me back to this
13:16:06doktoreasahhhhhh
13:16:11doktoreasso i can put file in there?
13:16:28daurnimatori just haven't gone further for: 1, lack of time; 2, i can't brick it - i have no money, it has NO recovery things, one bad flash and its gone.
13:17:07linuxstbmickael___: Yes.
13:17:30linuxstbdaurnimator: I haven't decided. I'm busy with mpegplayer at the moment.
13:17:32muckerlinuxstb: thanks I've tried doing a web search for the device CPU but nothing has come up, I'll try a more thorough look later on or find a forum where I will get info
13:18:10mickael___ok linuxstb, but i saw that the ipod nano is not officially supported by ipodlinux
13:18:11daurnimatormucker: why have you picker the c200?
13:18:30linuxstbMaybe start a thread in the Rockbox "New Ports" forum (if there isn't one already). If you post the link to that dissection article, maybe someone can help identify the components.
13:18:59linuxstbmickael___: IPL doesn't officially support anything newer than the third generation. But it works.
13:19:12mickael___ok linuxstb thanks
13:19:42muckermickael___ : nobody's done it which makes it a challenge and it's relitvely cheap
13:20:23linuxstbmucker: One thing you could do is to try and find a firmware upgrade file (if any exist), and examine it.
13:20:39daurnimatori don't know why anyone would buy a player with a hard limit of less than 4gb
13:20:40linuxstbThat should give you a hint about how easy it will be to add your own code.
13:23:37mickael___just another question : installing other os can damage my ipod, reduce its lifespan?
13:24:24mickael___(without changing anything in the debug menu ;)
13:24:37linuxstbAny H300 users around who want to test mpegplayer with audio?

13:31:08Genre9mp3thanx!
13:32:11linuxstbThat includes a lot of PortalPlayer-specific changes to Rockbox as well (the kernel-on-cop patch), but that shouldn't affect the h300 builds.

13:45:01Genre9mp3224x128 that is
13:45:23Genre9mp3first time was earlier but I was pushing some buttons
13:45:51linuxstbIs the sound working perfectly, or are there any skips?
13:45:51 Quit Angryman_H10 (Client Quit)
13:46:06Genre9mp3no skips
13:46:39Genre9mp3sound... sounds perfect! :)
13:47:22linuxstbIf you have chance, it would be interesting if you could test the .m2v versions of those .mpg files with the old mpegplayer and post the framerates you get for comparison.
13:47:48Genre9mp3sure
13:48:00Genre9mp3224x128 @ around 11fps! :)
13:48:21Genre9mp3and didn't crash till now
13:48:54linuxstbCan you try changing line 180 of firmare/app.lds to 0x2200 instead of 0x2400?
13:48:56 Quit fleytin (Read error: 104 (Connection reset by peer))
13:49:07linuxstbThat will reduce the stack size (it's 0x2000 in CVS).
13:49:10Genre9mp3of course everything is out of sync, should I try with skip frames, too?
13:49:38linuxstbI think your random stackov crashes are caused by something else overwriting the stack - i.e. not a "real" stack overflow.
13:50:08linuxstbskip frames probably won't help. You'll need to encode a file with a lower framerate.
13:50:24linuxstbIf you enable skip frames, it probably won't display any frames at all...

13:50:41JdGordondid I read audio+vid in mpegplayer?
13:50:48linuxstbJdGordon: Indeed :)
13:50:57Genre9mp3ok the second one (224x128) didn't crash... It played (the sound till the end)/ the video was still back) and then exited
13:51:00JdGordonawesome, wel done
13:51:04linuxstbScroll back for the patch I gave Genre9mp3
13:51:16JdGordonGenre9mp3: what target are you testing on?
13:51:22Genre9mp3H340
13:51:34 Nick Everybody|Determ is now known as Everybody (n=everybod@harpo.demon.co.uk)
13:51:45JdGordonok, ill grab my sisters nano and see wha happens
13:51:45linuxstbIt can do almost 30fps full-screen with audio on the Nano...
13:51:52JdGordonnice
13:52:08linuxstb(making use of the COP for the video decoding)
13:52:58JdGordonactually, I cant get it
13:53:03linuxstbGenre9mp3; If you encode your own videos, make sure to resample the audio to 44.1KHz. It can be either mp2 or mp3, and multiplexed into an MPEG-1 or MPEG-2 program stream.
13:53:14JdGordon11fps is only slightly leess than the OF on h300 so well done
13:53:42*Genre9mp3 recompiles with 0x2200
13:53:43linuxstbThere are still mirak's optimisation patches in flyspray which haven't been applied yet, so it should do more.
13:54:08Genre9mp3linuxstb: Wouldn't these patches need updating?
13:54:11linuxstbAlso, that test video has relatively high bitrate audio (170kbps lame-encoded VBR).
13:54:33linuxstbGenre9mp3: What do you mean?
13:54:38linuxstbOh, mirak's patches?
13:54:41Genre9mp3yes
13:55:08linuxstbI've no idea... The ASM optimisations should still apply cleanly, but the IRAM patches may now conflict with libmad's use of IRAM.
13:55:37Genre9mp3ok... I'll retry now with the change you've point to me
13:56:34linuxstbI'm not sure what to do about the stack size - whether it would be acceptable to increase Rockbox's main stack by 10%, or if I should dig into libmad to reduce its stack usage...
13:58:43Genre9mp3hmmm... I got a PANIC stkov dircache :/
13:58:52Genre9mp3while booting
13:59:04linuxstbThat's odd...
13:59:12linuxstbYou changed it to 0x2000 ?
13:59:18Genre9mp3yes
13:59:25linuxstbI mean 0x2200?
13:59:36Genre9mp3eer... yes... 0x2200

14:01:01*linuxstb wonders why there are so many reports on misticriver and not here...
14:02:13Genre9mp3nope... again PANIC stkov while playing the 176x128 mpg
14:02:44linuxstbCan you try again and see if it happens in the same place. A "real" stkov should be repeatable.
14:03:36Genre9mp3hmmm... seems like it was in the same place
14:03:44Genre9mp3I'll retry
14:04:05linuxstbOK, then you'll probably need to increase the stack size again.
14:04:33Genre9mp33rd time in the same place
14:04:49Genre9mp3so what I should test now?

14:30:56linuxstbGenre9mp3: I'm impressed at the speed. I was expecting more of a slow-down, but I guess libmad is very well optimised for Coldfire, so it's not affecting video speed that significantly.
14:31:15linuxstbBut I can't remember the old fps figures...
14:31:46Genre9mp3Well I can try with a clean CVS build... just a moment
14:32:00linuxstbI'll try to encode some more versions of elephants dream at 12fps - that should work OK with frameskip enabled.
14:32:53linuxstbBut my preferred mpeg encoded (mpeg2enc) refuses to encode at unofficial framerates, so I'll have to use mencoder/ffmpeg.

14:44:16linuxstbAnd thanks for the "old" fps value. So it looks like audio decoding is about 35% of CPU.

15:05:32daurnimatorit uses the dsp
15:05:34Genre9mp3while If I select an .m2v file it plays it immediately
15:05:34linuxstbGenre9mp3: Yes, that's a temporary fix because the menu no longer works in the video player itself. So it shows the menu at the start to allow you to change settings.
15:05:42daurnimatorwhich - unless we steal closed code from neuros
15:05:47daurnimatorwe can't use for video decoding
15:06:00Genre9mp3linuxstb: Ah ok.... good to know that
15:06:22Genre9mp3and I noticed that I couldn't go to the menu when playing so this explains it
15:06:22muesli-Genre9mp3 wud decreasing audio bitrate to ie 128k fix increase fps?
15:06:41Genre9mp3muesli-: haven't tried... probably a little
15:06:54linuxstbdaurnimator: Sounds similar to the ipod 5g's Broadcom chip. We could run the Apple firmware on the broadcom chip and try to communicate with that, but that kind of thing isn't really satisfactory.
15:07:02daurnimatoryou will most likely end up just having an arm9 @ between 81 & 180mhz
15:07:13muesli-i mean sound quality isnt that important in movies (if you ask me)
15:07:29daurnimatorbut, we still can do scaling ;)

15:07:50daurnimatortheres a chip on dm320 just for scaling
15:07:58linuxstbmuesli: mpegplayer uses libmad, so it will play any audio libmad accepts. Main limitation is that (at the moment) it needs to be 44.1Khz. But it should be relatively easy to support 22.050KHz if there's a demand.

16:57:42bluetthey all link to that page

17:16:33linuxstbElPenguin: You're preaching to the converted :) But don't forget that without ipodlinux, Rockbox wouldn't be running on the ipods (we used their knowledge to port Rockbox).
17:17:16ElPenguinlinuxstb: yeah. i found rockbox purely by accident. never got ipodlinux running because their documentation for manual install was so sparse and their linux installer sucked.
17:17:20linuxstbSoap: What encoder(s) are you trying?
17:17:58ElPenguinlinuxstb: is iRony worth an attempt or should i just go for a manual install?
17:18:02SoapI'm going to use TMPGEnc because I'm familiar enough with it to take full control over ever aspect of the mpg stream.
17:18:33linuxstbOK. I'll be interested to compare the output with mpeg2enc.
17:18:46Soapif I find a great balance of quality/size/speed it shouldn't be hard to dupluicate the settings with another program.
17:19:08Soapbut it will be easier (for me) to find said settings with a program I am very comfortable with.
17:19:14linuxstbDoes TMPGEnc transcode from all the common formats?
17:19:35linuxstbElPenguin: I don't even know what iRony is.
17:19:36SoapWindows has the advantage of being able to take anything as input you have a directshow filter for.
17:19:53ElPenguinlinuxstb: some rockbox installer by mako.cc
17:20:13linuxstbThen no. I wouldn't trust any unofficial Rockbox installers - do the manual way.
17:20:18Soapso, TMPGEnc (in theory) can transcode anything you can play.
17:20:21ElPenguinokay
17:20:22ElPenguinta
17:20:31linuxstbThe new instructions are just a couple of commands, so if you're happy in the terminal, it's a breeze.
17:20:40Soapand anything it has problems with can be frame-served by a better front end.
17:20:59ElPenguini'm happy in the terminal :) i'll do that
17:21:37ElPenguinlinuxstb: how bleeding is the bleeding edge? i'm unfamiliar with the state rockbox devs commit code in

17:22:17linuxstbThe bleeding edge build is what is generally recommended to use. So developers shouldn't break it...

17:36:03mdkehi there. the helpful people in here yesterday pointed me towards a cpufreq3 patch to try and see if it stops my ipod 1st gen mini from crashing. It has worked ok, but now the ipod is getting low on battery I'm seeing regular crashes. Is there some way I can help by giving a bug report/trace or something?
17:36:03Coldtoastdon't care how it's done. if I hear no gap, it's gapless. heh
17:36:17Soapbecause a-"gapless playback" has a specific definition which apples implementation does not do. B-Apple's guesstimation fails on some albums.

17:43:28linuxstbCan you provide a reliable recipe to recreate it?
17:43:54linuxstbThe most important thing is for a developer to be able to recreate the bug, otherwise he/she can't attempt to fix it.
17:44:31mdkelinuxstb: it makes a pop sound and turns off. It happens every time I try to play a song and am low on battery, I think
17:45:10linuxstbThat's sounds like normal low-battery behaviour.
17:45:10Soapthat sounds like a battery which drops voltage under load.
17:45:27mdkeoh.
17:45:36mdkeI would have expected some kind of message when the thing is out of battery
17:45:56mdkeglad it's not a crash then, anyway :)
17:45:56linuxstbNo, Rockbox doesn't shutdown on low battery, but your ipod does.
17:46:00Soapas in the hard drive spins to load up the song, and a battery which measures 3.3 volts with no load all of a sudden measures 3.0 volts when load is applied.
17:46:22maxkelleysay, how do I setup a rockbox dev environment on linux?
17:46:44mdkelinuxstb: with the Apple firmware, I get a little picture that tells me the battery is out, so I expected something similar with Rockbox. There is nothing like that?
17:46:46linuxstb1) Download the Rockbox source; 2) cd tools ; 3) ./rockboxdev.sh; 4) wait...

19:26:28linuxstbSoap: I guess you're not using the system font?

19:28:18nls_webmaybe put rb->lcd_setfont(FONT_SYSFIXED); somewhere?
19:28:43linuxstbDo I need to restore the user's font?
19:29:00nls_webdon't think so
19:29:17linuxstbI'll check plugin.c to see what it does when the plugin returns.
19:30:17linuxstbIt seems plugin.c does nothing with the fonts, so I should restore.
19:30:19SoapI should have a stack of 4thGen sized movies ready by tomorrow, but at 100mins each, it will take me a while. Thank god for batch encoding.

20:31:37bro2baseballi believe so...
20:31:41bro2baseballhow would i know

20:31:53linuxstbDid you type "cvs co ....." or download the .tar.bz2 file?
20:32:09nls_webanyway, look here http://www.rockbox.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/WebHome?topic=WorkingWithPatches
20:32:24bro2baseballyes i've been looking at that for the last hour

20:32:53bro2baseballi'm pretty sure i've checked it out
20:33:06linuxstbUsing the "cvs" command?
20:33:33bro2baseballwell i did" cvs -z3 -d:pserve"r ect
20:33:33bro2baseballis that it?
20:33:39linuxstbEasy way to check is if you have lots of folders called "CVS" in all the source folders.
20:33:46bro2baseballyep i do
20:34:03bro2baseballi'm sure of that
20:34:16bro2baseballon the wiki it says
20:34:17bro2baseballdiff -u oldfile newfile > patch
20:34:23linuxstbFrom the rockbox-devel directory, just type "cvs diff -u > mypatch.diff"
20:34:23bro2baseballto create a diff file
20:34:27bro2baseballalright
20:34:39bro2baseballi'l try that
20:34:59linuxstbYou can then look at that file in a text editor, and see if it reflects the changes you made.

20:36:28Genre9mp3linuxstb: Is mirak's patch for any reason not acceptable in CVS or something?

20:44:57karimGenre9mp3, you implemented sound ?

20:49:32LloreanSoap: Well, it's not a correct installation if it doesn't work wholly my my standard, but I guess my phrasing could've been a bit less literal. :-p
20:49:55Soapand mine could have been a bit more verbose.
20:50:25LloreanSoap: I was worried that they'd expect to be able to boot Apple_OS the manual way after getting Rockbox running.

20:51:10karimlinuxstb, there are not much changes, only the idct block is extended to 128 byte instead of 64, the struct is put into iram. also, and hem just idct.c have some function in assembly.

22:16:22SoapHow old is the build you are running?
22:17:37firenxi think its the cvs.. been trying a few builds
22:18:24firenxoh i'm using the ace version right now..
22:18:31firenxace build even
22:19:02firenxi will try cvs
22:19:22Soapyea, that ace build is pretty old
22:19:46SoapYou will find that audio doesn't skip due to scrolling anymore.

22:21:03Kingsqueakhow is the iRiver so much better optimized than the iPod 5g ? Did someone who worked for iRiver help out with the codecs?

22:44:22Genre9mp3Does it require a good level of soldering skills?
22:44:31LloreanPhul: It's just Rockbox. Rockbox is software that runs on MP3 players, so it'll have all the features of Rockbox.

22:45:46yossaI want to try and make some plugins work on the sansa, I need to know though how to make those plugins compile for this target.
22:45:59HawkSlayerits probably right in front of me too
22:46:15amiconnGenre9mp3: You need SMD soldering skills & equipment (that's why it took me a while until I finally did it - first had to get a soldering iron with a fine enough tip)
22:46:26amiconnThe pin spacing of the SM8141B is 0.8mm
22:46:27LloreanHawkSlayer: Typle PluginIndex in the go box in the wiki... or the search box on the site...
22:46:36KingsqueakGenre9mp3: that looks like SMD work, easy to burn something up if you aren't used to it or have a solid soldering station
22:46:45Lloreanyossa: Change where they are in the SOURCES file.
22:46:55DanielFaulknorhmm.. if i have the money (just) is it worth getting a 80gb ipod instead of a 30gb one? (5.5gen, video)

23:22:42GodEater]MrFWorK[, if there were - we'd have said so
23:23:31amiconnlinuxstb: The daily builds do have 2 advantages over the cvs builds:
23:24:02amiconn(1) all of them are made consistently with the recommended gcc versions for each architecture
23:24:04linuxstbBagder: Another video for the collection... http://www.davechapman.f2s.com/rockbox/elephantsdream-q6-224x176-469kbps.mpg
23:24:40amiconn(2) Their timestamps match the actual build time, expressed in CET (or CEST part time of the year)
23:25:11GodEateramiconn, does (1) mean they're built on a different box than the CVS builds ?
23:25:16linuxstbBoth are fixable... The build scripts that run on the remote servers should set the TZ variable to something consistent.
23:25:31linuxstbAnd all build servers should install the recommended versions...

23:48:56GodEaterlinuxstb, you're mean - but you're right :)
