00:20:51Lars_GI wonder, recoding aside, do you think the cpu in an ipod would be able to handle mikmod?

00:21:46Lars_Gcan ipodloader load rockbox? including the new rockbox that afaik changed load method?
00:22:07linuxstbAraknis: loader2 doesn't load Rockbox in the right way for the COP to work.

00:22:26Araknislinuxstb: On the kernel_on_cop_6.diff patch I also see a bootloader-color.bin is that why my COP did not work
00:22:54linuxstbAraknis: Only the official Rockbox bootloader (the latest version) will work.
00:23:27Lars_Glinuxstb: What do you think, would an ipod have enough juice to play mods?
00:23:50linuxstbI don't know enough about mods, but I thought there was already a patch for it?
00:24:19Lars_Ghmmm I'll check
00:25:11Araknislinuxstb: can the Rockbox bootloader also load iPodLinux?
00:25:34linuxstbYes. Put "linux.bin" (the Linux kernel) on your FAT32 partition, and hold PLAY whilst booting.
00:26:01linuxstbYou can also "rolo" it, if you convert it to .ipod format using the tools/scramble tool.
00:26:10Lars_Gthat's sweet

00:28:04Lars_Gto be sincere I've not tried IPL because my nano's memory is small. and rockbox makes me so happy as a DAP
00:28:08Araknislinuxstb: But I thought iPodLinux was on a ext2 partition not on a FAT32 partition
00:28:27linuxstbThe kernel can be wherever you want it to be.
00:28:31Lars_GShawn_K: Yes and someone... I think linuxstb told me rockbox's posix anyhow
00:28:36BagderAraknis: the kernel isn't loaded by linux itself
00:29:12Mikachulinuxstb: i'll check
00:29:28Shawn_KLars_G: well, half of the code is tied to iPodlinux...so I would assume so anyways :P
00:29:34AraknisSo will I need to reformat to change bootloaders and reinstall iPodLinux and Rockbox?
00:30:00Bagder"half of the code is tied to iPodlinux" ?
00:30:17Bagderhalf of what code?
00:30:28Shawn_KBadger: the bootloaders and all and cross-compatable...just alot of the ideas are similar to each

00:35:55Mikachurolo means you load it from rockbox
00:35:59 Quit muesli__ (Read error: 60 (Operation timed out))
00:36:42LloreanAraknis: If you use the scramble tool on the .bin file to make it a .ipod file, you can just click it from inside Rockbox to load iPL
00:37:04LloreanYou still need the ext2 partition to exist, but to get linux to start you just click the linux.ipod file on your fat32 partition
00:38:47AraknisHow do I change bootloaders from Loader2 to Rockbox
00:40:03LloreanYou'll need to remove Loader2 first, which will require you kept your bootpartition.bin
00:40:31bluebrotherrolo = "ROckbox LOader". It loads a different firmware (usually a different RB version)
00:41:22JimmyScan you remove the original iPod firmware and store it as a backup and install Rockbox only?
00:41:27AraknisLlorean: does a "rolo" waste more iPod resources (memory, etc) because Rockbox is loaded or does it release everything switching to iPodLinux
00:41:49linuxstbIt reboots into IPL- so Rockbox disappears.

00:42:40AraknisDoes it matter how I installed iPodLinux, you have the choice of shrinking the firmware or shrinking the Fat32 Partition
00:42:42linuxstbAlthough it's not very well tested - all I (and Llorean) have tested is booting a kernel up to the point where it fails to mount the rootfs because we don't have one installed.
00:43:37LloreanI'm actually betting on it working though. No more than hunch, mind you, but it seems it ought to.
00:43:50LloreanJimmyS: Yes.
00:43:55 Join moixa [0] (n=moixa@80-218-153-1.dclient.hispeed.ch)
00:43:57linuxstbAraknis: You could try the following with ipodpatcher - "ipodpatcher N -r bootpartition.bin" (to make a backup of your current install). Then "ipodpatcher -a bootloader-ipodXXXX.ipod".

00:44:31Lloreanlinuxstb: The current iPodPatcher will probably complain though about it not detecting the apple os or whatever that complaint was?
00:44:42bluebrotherhmm. We don't want dependencies from firmware/* to apps/*, right?
00:44:54LloreanYou know, the topic that led to discussion the option of a −−force flag?
00:45:15 Quit mueslii (Read error: 60 (Operation timed out))
00:45:17Araknislinuxstb: do I need bootloader-color.bin from the kernel_on_cop_6.diff patch page?
00:46:01linuxstbAraknis: No - use the links (ipodpatcher and bootloader-ipodcolor.ipod) from the IpodInstallationBeta wiki page (or the manual).
00:46:29linuxstbThe wiki page will be better (until the next manual is built tomorrow).
00:47:04linuxstbOr if you have a development environment, just compile yourself.
00:48:01AraknisWhat if I want more than one podzilla does the Rockbox bootloader handle this? That is what I liked about Loader2 I could load more than one podzilla, Apple's Firmware, etc.
00:48:30Araknislinuxstb: I have been trying the VMWare development image
00:49:00linuxstbAraknis: No, the Rockbox bootloader doesn't support the Loader2 arguments thing.
00:49:09Araknislinuxstb: one thing I have noticed is that mpegplayer craches in the sim
00:49:23linuxstbWhen?

01:01:59linuxstbAraknis: Are you able to install a new version of loader.bin if I gave you one?
01:02:30Araknis-AwayYes but I can not istall it now
01:02:40LloreanAraknis-Away: That would be feedback on the patch, so yes, it's valid to post that there. But out of curiosity, why is there any reason to expect any non-Rockbox bootloader to work with Rockbox? The problem isn't with Kernel on Cop, it's with Loader2 not doing things properly
01:02:56JimmySwhat on earth
01:02:56linuxstbWhen you can, it's here: http://www.davechapman.f2s.com/rockbox/loader.bin
01:03:06JimmySit's saying that my iPod isn't an iPod
01:03:06JimmyS:S
01:03:18LloreanIt's not any part of Rockbox's responsibility to maintain compatibility with non-Rockbox software, is it?
01:03:30linuxstbPatch is here as well: http://www.davechapman.f2s.com/rockbox/loader-rockbox.diff
01:03:32LloreanJimmyS: ipodpatcher?
01:03:38JimmySyes
01:03:51linuxstbJimmyS: What did you do to it?
01:04:06Araknis-AwayLlorean, iPodLinux has instructions for booting into RockBox
01:04:19linuxstbJimmyS: And what command are you running?
01:04:22Lars_Glinuxstb: Each time I see you talk I read "linuxstd"
01:04:29JimmySmy iPod, well I just restored the original firmware from the iPod linux installer
01:04:59LloreanAraknis-Away: So what? If ipodlinux has instructions, they should update them to say "This doesn't work with coprocessor builds"?
01:05:01Araknis-AwayLlorean: I have also seen many tutorials on the web to load both iPodLinux and Rockbox by installing iPodLinux first and unzipping the Rockbox zip to the ipod
01:05:11JimmyS./ipodpatcher /dev/sdc2 -r bootpartition.bin
01:05:19Lars_GAraknis-Away: why is it so hard for you to beleive the rockbox guys about this?
01:05:26LloreanIf I write instructions on how to boot into windows from a piece of hardware I made, should Microsoft be forced to then adapt to any future changes I make to my hardware?
01:05:28linuxstbJimmyS: Use /dev/sdc
01:05:44JimmySum, okay, if you're sure

01:06:28LloreanAraknis-Away: Again, Loader2 is NOT part of Rockbox. Just because it could do that in the past doesn't mean it'll always be able to, as THEY have to keep it up to date if they want it to work.

01:09:52Lars_Grockbox's bootloader, yes. and unzip the rockbox zip in your dev's root
01:10:07akjdfdI have an ipod mini 2g and read about rockbox it seems great, but i wanted to make sure that my itrip will still work any ideas?
01:10:07LloreanJimmyS: No, you can actually load a rockbox.ipod there instead of a bootloader.ipod, but then you have to replace it every time you update Rockbox.
01:10:10LloreanLars_G: Untrue.

01:10:49LloreanLars_G: On the iPods, you can put a Rockbox.ipod in the bootpartition rather than a bootloader, if you know for absolute certainty you don't want to boot the Apple OS. The only downside is you have to repeat the step every time you update your build
01:10:52Lars_GLlorean: hmm? afaik OF's loader can't load rockbox
01:10:53LloreanIt does result in faster boot times though
01:11:04Lars_GAh ok.

01:37:33midkayLars_G: sure. maybe you can hunt out the (very few) posts by the leader trio if you want (daniel stenberg, linus nielsen feltzing and bjorn stenberg)
01:37:40gotthardtI looked at the code quickly and saw the size and position changes for laryouts for screens - if that is what you mean
01:37:59pixelmagotthardt: I think RedZZR implemented additional x-coordinate defines
01:38:00Lars_Gmidkay: Daniel's post was clear and concise enough, that's all I needed
01:38:11LloreanShawn_K: It helps a little bit, but the scheduler is not the whole problem. I can still make audio skip when it's alone on the second core, which implies that somehow the audio thread is being held up by something other than the scheduler.
01:38:24LloreanShawn_K: Sorry, when the codec thread is alone on the second core.
01:38:24gotthardtpixelma: ok - so do you have a patch? or?
01:38:26midkayLars_G: gotcha :)

01:39:47LloreanJimmyS: Most 'Themes' included with Rockbox *just* change the font, within the menus. If even that.
01:39:50pixelmagotthardt: I could prepare one for you
01:39:55LloreanThe WPS is what will look different.
01:40:48Shawn_KLlorean: yeah, I still want to disable the scheduler and see how much it helps w/ my builds
01:41:06Lars_GThe trick is very simple, look at the themes gallery, if it has a screenshot of the WPS only, most surely only the WPS screen changes
01:41:17Lars_Gif there are shots of the file list, then that changes noticeably too
01:41:24Shawn_KLlorean: anyways, I can't seem to find the define for it....config-ipodvideo..h is what I am looking at
01:41:42LloreanIt may be in the main config.h then
01:41:53linuxstbgrep is your friend.
01:41:53LloreanIt's... I think HAVE_PRIORITY_SCHEDULING maybe?
01:42:09LloreanYeah, I grepped for it last time I needed it, but I had someone to tell me what to grep for.
01:42:24pixelmagotthardt: pm
01:42:29LloreanI think #define HAVE_PRIORITY ought to come up with a single result being the one you want
01:42:40Shawn_KLlorean: ok, that helps...I'll do a search

01:57:51AngryYou mentioned howfast the adc_scan reads... I am thinking about making something like a smoot on ten values and grab the result of this ten adc values. Do you think that would work or are this too much values and lead to a delay
01:58:00Lloreanneutralrobotboy: Nobody has ever said they've started work on one.
01:58:28AngryI made a test and smoothing out ten values gives a reliable result

02:05:03Lloreanneutralrobotboy: Basically, a stripped down version of Rockbox that instead of being a music playing firmware, is just a game emulator, you could then launch it from within Rockbox using ROLO

02:10:39Angrymuch greater delay= cause iz produces a visual output

03:19:39statikk:D thx guys
03:19:53statikki thought i had a really shiny brick here....
03:20:01pregloweven i've done that and asked here, and i coded the bloody ipod startup code
03:20:18statikk:)
03:20:28statikkthx again, I go play with my rockbox now
03:20:54LloreanSo far nobody has managed to brick an iPod successfully.
03:21:12Mouser_XGive me an iPod, and I'll see what I can do!
03:21:24Mouser_X(I'd never intentionally brick it, if I paid for it...)
03:21:51Mouser_XYah, I doubt it's going to happen (both that someone would give me one, and that I'd actually brick the thing).
03:21:53LloreanI'll tell you what, send me an iPod you've bricked with Rockbox without writing over the contents of Flash, and if it's really bricked, I'll buy you two. If it's not though, I get to keep it. Sound fair?
03:22:06Mouser_Xlol
03:22:08Araknislinuxstb: A Big Thank you for fixing the loader2 :) I see it was you who made the change in the iPodLinux SVN
03:22:59Mouser_XLlorean: The deal makes sense. I, however, am far too much of a cheapskate to take you up on it.
03:23:32Mouser_XBesides, I doubt I'd brick it, unless I caused some hardware faults.
03:23:38Shawn_Ksee ya guys, I'm out...

03:23:47Mikachuif he does brick it, how will you determine whether or not he overwrote the flash?

03:24:57Mouser_Xlol
03:25:02preglowapple voodoo
03:25:11LloreanHonestly though, short of melting individual components intentionally with strange codes, or writing to flash, it shouldn't be brickable.
03:25:18Lloreancode
03:25:50gotthardthey goffa - whats up?
03:25:50*linuxstb can think of a way to at least give the impression of a brick
03:25:50Mouser_XThat's what I figure.

03:29:20Mouser_XSomeone said that you can replace the batteries in an iPod in 10 minutes, or less...

03:41:32linuxstbWhy did that only affect the Gigabeat?
03:41:50Lloreanlinuxstb: Could it be "screeching whitenoise" on iPods?
03:42:12gotthardtnot sure - but misaligned buffers was the prob
03:42:15linuxstbOr are we talking about the ATA fix?
03:42:24debauched_slothyes
03:42:27gotthardthe DMAs the aligned and byte copies misaligned
03:42:42gotthardtthis is in the ATA DMA
03:42:48gotthardtfor GB specific
03:42:48debauched_slothand linuxstb suggested this way back
03:43:10debauched_sloththough I still think this should work and I have a problem with cache clears on odd boundary buffers
03:43:42debauched_slothgotthardt: note that if we require even boundary buffers, we need to go into the sound code...
03:44:06gotthardtso be it - i think it should be done - wont hurt
03:44:17gotthardtand will help maybe more than GB
03:44:46debauched_sloththink it will, it should help just about everywhere
03:45:00gotthardtusing the aligned buffs is good - we just have to make sure we dont break anything making them aligned ;)
03:45:16debauched_slothseems worth it to waste a few bytes here and there

08:20:08LloreanYeah, I tried lowering it down to 128 for Nano. These were TV encodes, so the quality wasn't great anyway, and 128 is actually watchable though compression artifacts are noticeable even on the tiny screen.
08:20:22LloreanBut I had a goal of fitting 5 seasons of a TV show on a 4gb Nano, I wasn't too concerned with visual quality

08:22:42tychverit was encoded from a very high quality mpeg4
08:22:47Mouser_XLlorean: Are there plans (at all, obviously not soon) to add support for AVI, DivX, and XviD? I'm only curious, because it would save re-encoding a bunch of stuff. If not, no big deal. I was simply curious.
08:23:48tychversupport for avi as a container format wouldn't be too hard, mpeg 4 codecs (divx and xvid) are far too cpu heavy to contemplate on anything other than a gigabeat
08:24:25*Mouser_X is getting a Gigabeat...
08:24:32Mouser_X:P

08:28:36Lloreantychver: MP4 seems more likely in the end, for mpeg4 video.
08:28:51LloreanSeeing as there's already a bit of an MP4 container parser used for AAC / ALAC

08:29:37tychveryeah that's very true, matroska is usually only used where subtitle support is essential
08:30:03Mouser_XBah. Thanks for the answers. I had to read the logs to see them though.
08:30:17LloreanHeh
08:30:32LloreanBut you'll still probably need to convert your video
08:30:40Mouser_XI figured.
08:30:40LloreanEven if MPEG-4 support is added, you'd need to pre-scale it to your screen.
08:30:50Mouser_XAh, good point.
08:31:56Mouser_XAlso, instead of " :P " I should have used " ;) " as it doesn't imply haughtyness/rudeness as much.
08:32:02LloreanSo the only argument for MPEG-4 would become either better visual quality, or better battery life (less disk spinups even if more decode time)
08:32:10Mouser_X(Which :P can, depending how you want to interpret it.)
08:32:52Mouser_XWell, I can re-encode. I was just curious to know what I might able to expect in the future.
08:33:28Mouser_X*might be able
08:35:25LloreanI wouldn't be at all surprised to see MPEG-4 available in the future, but it might be years yet.

08:35:34Mouser_XHeh.
08:36:01Mouser_XUnderstandable. Rockbox has been in development for like, 4 years, hasn't it?
08:36:15Mouser_XAt least, I saw some dates going back to 2002, as I recall.
08:38:35LloreanI'm honestly not sure when it started.
08:39:01LloreanI consider myself one of "the new guys" still.
08:39:04Mouser_XOh.
08:39:10Mouser_XHeh.
08:39:13LloreanI'm just deceptively not new seeming.
08:39:36Mouser_XWell, I've been in the channel for a week, maybe...
08:39:37LloreanPeople keep mistaking me for a developer. I need a mask that says /rockbox/not_a_developer/Llorean
08:39:39Mouser_XYou've definatly got me beat there.
08:39:50Mouser_Xlol
08:40:00tychveryeah I thought you were a developer too
08:40:10Mouser_XI keep forgetting that you're not...
08:40:22LloreanI just listen a lot, and try very hard to remember.
08:40:27scorche2001-ish
08:41:08Mouser_XCool.
08:41:15scorcheLlorean: you are just as good as one ;)
08:41:17Mouser_XSo, nearly 5 years...
08:41:21scorcheminus the programming aspect...
08:41:32Lloreanscorche: I've once more been branded a villain on the mailing list, I think. :)
08:41:51scorchemeh...who cares ;)
08:41:59LloreanI was beginning to worry because Misticriver seems to have stopped hating me these days, and nobody on the forums was calling me totalitarian any more.
08:42:46scorchelooks like you need to step it up again
08:42:57LloreanOne day I'll write a plugin of some sort, or fix a bug and post a patch or something, just so I can say "Yes, I've done Rockbox programming."
08:43:12Mouser_XHeh.
08:43:24scorcheyou havent gotten a patch committed yet?
08:43:31Lloreanscorche: Not directly.
08:43:45Mouser_XWant to try your hand at porting a player to Rockbox?
08:43:51Mouser_XI've got a suggestion...
08:43:54LloreanUsually it goes "Llorean: Theres a problem on line X of Y.c" "Dev: Oh, let me go and fix that"
08:44:05Mouser_X(I don't actually expect you to take up that offer.)
08:44:08LloreanWhen like, someone asks me to try out a patch before they commit it.
08:44:14scorcheah
08:44:22LloreanThough I did do part of the dice plugin
08:44:29scorcheeven i have a few patches that have been committed =/
08:44:34scorchehaha
08:44:36LloreanMostly a few keymaps and modifying it so that it fits a few screens.
08:44:47amiconnMouser_X, scorche: rockbox is already older than 5 years
08:45:01amiconnIt started 7 Dec 2001
08:45:16scorcheamiconn: i just said 2001
08:46:35amiconn/ping lostlogic
08:46:55LloreanCan someone with commit access do me a favour in regards to the manual?
08:47:10*Llorean really should just ask for commit access by this point.
08:47:18Mouser_XHeh.
08:49:11scorchei would, but i dont really know tex
08:49:20Lloreanscorche: It should just be a matter of editing a line.
08:49:55LloreanThe ipod installation says ipodpatcher N -r (or -w or -a), but the uninstallation says ipodpatcher -w N bootpartition.bin, the -w and the N are in the wrong order, and the new ipodpatcher cares about the order.
08:50:45scorcheaye...but i still need a bit mroe
08:50:50LloreanAh
08:50:52*Llorean shrugs
08:50:55scorchelearning that is...both C and tex

09:13:39Lloreandecayedcell: There's a bitmap with it that shows the buttons to press.
09:13:50Mouser_XI'd say the answer is yes, due to the fact that that's one of the goals of Rockbox. Being able to dual boot, if need be.
09:13:53ZerapheiPod Simulator?
09:14:05Mouser_X^ @ bernard__
09:14:50bernard__ok, and do you know the button to press at boot or something like this, <Mouser_X> ?
09:15:11bernard__I remember a friend of mine who had a iriver H120 could do that
09:15:17LloreanMouser_X: I'd say it definitely does, because the installation instructions say that the original firmware needs to be renamed to a specific name for the purposes of dual boot. :)
09:15:25LloreanUnfortunately, I have no clue what button needs to be held.
09:15:31Mouser_Xbernard__: No, I don't... I don't use Rockbox yet.
09:15:43Mouser_XLlorean: Ah, good point. I forgot about that.
09:16:01*Mouser_X has no portable player to put Rockbox on, yet.
09:16:18LloreanMouser_X: I don't have a Gigabeat, but I try to keep familiar with as many players as I can.
09:16:33Mouser_XWhich is a good idea.
09:16:41bernard__I guess I will try to install rockbox and maintain a button pressed to see what happens
09:16:47Lloreanbernard__: It will most likely either be hold one specific button down while booting, or boot with the hold switch on.
09:17:09Mouser_Xbernard__: Or you could, you know, read the manual. I'm sure the button presses are in there.
09:17:18LloreanMouser_X: Well, saying "The answer to your question is in the manual" when it's not causes you to lose all semblance of authority. :)

09:17:26Mouser_XOh, it's not?

10:05:06Lloreanbooyah: Explicitly, what color is the text itself, and what color is the backdrop?
10:05:15LloreanThere are two versions of the bootloader.
10:05:21LloreanOne is black text, very light blue background
10:05:25LloreanOne is white text, black background
10:05:29Llorean"Black and white" doesn't tell me which of those it is.
10:05:44booyahSorry, my bad. Its light blue
10:05:51LloreanSo, dark text, light background
10:05:53LloreanYou're using the old bootloader.
10:06:03LloreanFirst, hold Menu+Select to reboot, and *immediately* hold Play+Select.
10:06:17booyahRoger. doing that now
10:06:17LloreanIf it doesn't work the first time, try again, shifting your timing somewhat
10:06:22LloreanEventually you'll get to emergency disk mode
10:06:35LloreanThen, ipodpatcher N -w bootpartition.bin (I hope you kept that file, you were supposed to).
10:06:48LloreanThat should restore your iPod to its original status (boots apple OS, no rockbox)
10:07:07LloreanThen delete all the files you downloaded, as they're all old, and use the files here: http://www.rockbox.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/IpodInstallationBeta

10:38:42RedZZRhi
10:39:08perldiverRedZZR are you aware of a little WPS problem with latest builds?
10:39:08Lloreanscorche: Yeah, if you want to. Just let him know that we felt it might cause some confusion and would like him to pick something else as an avatar.
10:39:14RedZZRjust built the lastest CVS, how is the sound problem?
10:39:19LloreanEven though it says "Noob" people who just glance may not read it.
10:39:20tucozah. great. is Scroll up clockwise, and Scroll down counter-clockwise?
10:39:22JimmySLlorean, I changed the email address and it worked, thank you for the offer though
10:39:22RedZZRwhats the WPS problem
10:39:27perldiverRedZZR thanks for the rockblox btw!
10:39:38LloreanJimmyS: Yeah, I've noticed that happen before. I had to change mine to get notifications of PMs. :)
10:39:48perldiverRedZZR sound problem seems to be gone for me
10:39:53perldiver(sped up issue)
10:40:11RedZZRNo Problem, Marianne Arnold has expanded the background to fill the screen
10:40:17perldivernow the WPS, it adds an extra "pink" line to the progress bar area
10:40:28Lloreanscorche: Since the entire point of the badges originally was so that people could, at a glance, tell who were considered Knowledgeable, and at a second glance, tell where they were. The second glance shouldn't be a correction to say "Nowhere"

10:41:35tucozlavid, ok. I would assume it is the same in rockbox
10:41:39tucozthanks
10:41:44perldiverRedZZR yeah its not there cause its all white and doest have any elements in that area
10:41:46RedZZRall I see wrong is one extra pixel on the progress bar, but its not pink
10:42:05perldiveri meant pink as invisible color
10:42:10perldiveroh so you see it
10:42:18*scorche doesnt see a reason for Llorean's laziness if he just posts the PM in here anyway ;)
10:42:19Lloreantucoz: I can't find my sansa, but I thought clockwise was down.
10:42:20perldiverits not really one pixel
10:42:20RedZZRok.... I get it now...
10:42:29Lloreanscorche: Alt-tab is so many keys.
10:42:37RedZZRso the transparancy is not working properly.
10:42:40scorchehehe
10:42:45perldiverRedZZR probably
10:43:02perldiverbut why it moves stuff as well?
10:43:27RedZZRthat is odd, nothing seems to have changed in that area has it?
10:43:36tucozLlorean, hmm. ok. Isn't it more intuitive to increase (Scroll up) by scrolling it in a clockwise motion?
10:43:39lavidtucoz: yeah, i made an oops
10:43:47perldiveri tried old build, it was OK
10:44:06perldiverbut all 2 days old and new ones break it
10:44:06Lloreantucoz: Clockwise scrolls down, it's actually this case on iPods too though, isn't it?
10:44:07RedZZRmaybe the DMA screen updates?
10:44:18LloreanI believe the idea is that 'The right side of the wheel is moving downward"
10:44:19lavidtucoz: yes, it is more intuitive, like winding up a clock
10:44:38Jsunui think it effects wps with progress bars that are bmps
10:44:51perldiverJsunu yeah
10:44:53tucozLlorean, lavid. i am puzzled ;)
10:45:23Lloreantucoz: In the original firmware, Clockwise moves downward on the screen.

10:46:04tucozLlorean, lavid. that makes sense. I was thinking of using the wheel for increasing volume etc.
10:46:16RedZZRIt sounded good yesterday - except for the odd garbled song from halfway..
10:46:17tucozthat is why i was confused
10:46:25tucozthanks to both of you
10:46:31lavidtucoz: yeah, so for that usage, CW should be increase
10:46:36perldiverRedZZR yeah im not experiencing that anymore
10:46:46perldiverand i had it alot
10:46:57RedZZRgood... hope that has been fixed..
10:46:59Lloreantucoz: Yeah, it should increase the volume. Really it should mimic the behaviour of the scrollwheel on iPods with Rockbox, so that the interface is consistent across targets with a scrollwheel-type thing
10:47:14RedZZRI got the button leds working on my build.
10:47:23perldivernow the screen, as you said, i dont reckon anybody changed anything in that area
10:47:32perldiverso i dont know whats happening
10:47:45tucozI am fixing the key reference image, that is why i wanted to know
10:47:46perldiverRedZZR nice, are they dimming?
10:47:54RedZZRYep
10:48:06perldiverfantastic
10:48:32Lloreanbluebrother: Did you see the thing about -w being before N in the uninstallation instructions for the iPod in the manual?
10:48:40lavidLlorean: the sansa scrollwheel is somewhat different from that of an ipod since as you move the sansa's feels like discreet movements, which i think is different from the touchwheel thing the ipods have
10:48:48perldiverRedZZR maybe you can take a look at dma updates?
10:48:53RedZZRI did add a menu item, but can't seem to get it to save and load, so I might just add the button leds as a patch and if people want it then can install it.
10:48:59bluebrotherLlorean, no.
10:49:17RedZZRI'll take a look, but I don't have commit privs so could not post a fix
10:49:17lavidllorean: but that's trivial for the moment
10:49:18bluebrotheris that still needed with the new ipodpatcher?
10:49:23Lloreanbluebrother: You even posted in response to the thread.
10:49:28RedZZReven if I can find it :)
10:49:48perldiverwell at least we would know what it is
10:49:50 Quit tychver ("Leaving")
10:49:53Lloreanbluebrother: Well, the uninstallation method is actually ipodpatcher N -d, but N -w bootpartition.bin works still. The real problem is that the manual as -w N bootpartition.bin, which doesn't work.
10:50:20LloreanNothing is required after the -d, by the way. It's just "ipodpatcher N -d" and it should remove the bootloader safely.
10:50:24perldiverall bmp based progress bars get affected
10:50:25LloreanUnless I got my arguments mixed up.
10:50:33bluebrotherah, I thought you meant an error in the manual first
10:51:02Lloreanlavid: Yes, it does feel like discrete movements, but from an interface standpoint it rotations in the same direction should have the same effect on the same screens.
10:51:45perldivercame with the 0103 build
10:52:27perldiverRedZZR oh and pacman got broken on the way as well :P
10:52:33lavidllorean: yeah, i agree, at least in the case of the volume
10:52:41perldiverstarting from the same build i think
10:52:47bluebrotherdo we have a description of ipodpatcher -d in the manual?
10:53:09*bluebrother greps for it
10:53:12perldiverhang on load but menu still works
10:53:29perldiverseems like dma issue as well
10:53:42lavidllorean: but i think the sansa wheel could control the rotation of the snake on the snake plugin or the tetris blocks while the ipod wheel wouldn't work as well for that purpose
10:53:42RedZZRyes I assume that must be a dma issue
10:53:53lavidllorean: as i said, a very minor issue
10:53:58Lloreanlavid: How could having discrete movements in any situation suggest the wheel should be turning the opposite direction of a non-discrete wheel?
10:54:06bluebrotherso ipodpatcher -d will remove the bootloader without needing a clean bootpartition.bin?
10:54:18Lloreanlavid: My statement *only* applied to cases where the iPod wheel was used, which is why I phrased it the way I did.
10:54:35LloreanI never said it shouldn't have additional uses, just that it should be identical in the places where the iPod wheel is used.

12:30:10LloreanZeraphe: Essentially, someone wants to be grandfathered into an exception to the rules, because he was an exception before. But he made the change that altered the situation, I proposed that the rules should now apply, people agreed, and he's acting like we're "shutting him down" or some such.
12:30:43LloreanMy proposal was simply that he move his unsupported build from the wiki to some offsite hosting now that it's moved from "A single bugfix to the 2.5 release" to a full modified build.
12:31:50ZerapheSounds reasonable. If everyone did the same, there'd be a terrible confusion over which version was current, supported, modified, et cetera.
12:33:14ZerapheHosting's not that hard to come by. Neither is a free DNS mask. And anyone searching for Rockbox + (player) would be able to find it, I'm sure. I found Psiuyo's site that way.

12:41:35mlindYes. Thanks. So. Instead. Is there someone with a Mac here? :-)
12:41:47ZerapheAt least, that way if it foobars your player, you have only yourself to blame.
12:41:58ZerapheOr if more work needs to be done, et cetera.
12:43:20scorcheamiconn: there?
12:43:52Lloreanmlind: I believe rockboxdev.sh (Did I get the name right this time?) mostly works on macs now, with the small change from here: http://www.rockbox.org/tracker/task/6499
12:44:27*scorche applauds Llorean
12:44:49mlindLlorean: and that is a what?
12:44:50scorche;)
12:45:14scorchemlind: a script that does most of the work of setting up the cross-compilers/toolchain for you

12:45:41mlindMmm... Seems nice. I'll try. Thanks.
12:45:44LloreanAll you have to do is execute the script, and then add the locations of the compilers to your path.
12:45:47bluebrotherit's in the tools/ folder
12:45:56LloreanBut it does need an edit to the .sh file as mentioned in the patch tracker entry
12:46:02*bluebrother doesn't think building a cross compiler is hard at all
12:46:33scorchewe all know that just because we dont, doesnt mean other people dont as well though =S
12:46:41Lloreanbluebrother: I did it back when you had to download the GCC, binutils and gdb (optional) sources yourself, and hand type the whole line telling it to be built as a cross compiler etc. :-P
12:47:04LloreanThis whole "rockboxdev.sh or VMWare image for windows users" thing is like the land of milk and honey.
12:47:16LloreanActually, the VMWare image works for any users, I suppose
12:47:19bluebrotherhehe.
12:47:43bluebrotherbut the vmware image is really nice. Especially as it provides a build environment one can safely refer to
12:48:00LloreanYeah, it's very consistent and reliable.
12:48:06tucozand it's not cygwin
12:48:10LloreanAnd it's not cygwin.

14:32:42 Part pixelma
14:32:57jhMikeSI figure as much. Anything with a transition from high-low in one sample makes for non-harmonic components.
14:33:26preglownot necessarily
14:33:34preglowthe problem is when the transition occurs between samples
14:33:41preglowin the analogue waveform you are sampling
14:33:43RedZZRGigabeat Button LED patch uploaded FS #6511 if anybody is interested
14:33:44jhMikeSthat's even worse
14:34:06preglowif the transition lines up with the sampling instant, then the harmonics generated fall on top of the already existing correct ones
14:35:13jhMikeSWell, in CoolEdit generating an A882 square wav gives you an unwanted undertone of 442 Hz. Doesn't really sound like A882 in that case.
14:35:21preglowthe blit (bandlimited impulse trains) method isn't that much code, really, but i never could make it work with fixed point math
14:35:54preglowA882 ?
14:36:38jhMikeSThe period of that lines up nicely with 44.1Khz wheras A880 doesn't. No beating but still unwanted components.

18:52:01booboohawhat versions are the 1st gen nanos
18:52:03Soaprockbox WILL NOT work on the 2nd gen.
18:52:07booboohacuz the 2nd gen is only 1.1.1
18:52:15Soapthat means nothing.

18:53:24SoapSo...where did you hear rockbox or Ipod Linux would work on your 2nd gen Nano?
18:53:39booboohahttp://www.binrev.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=25902
18:54:58Soapok, I read that entire thread and no where does it mention the 2nd generation Nano.
18:55:18booboohawell its implied
18:55:34booboohacuz the 1st post says that the nano is not supported by the ipodlinux
18:55:47Soaptake it up with the poster.
18:56:28booboohaand i got the idea that its possible b/c ppl replied to that with good responses
18:56:28Soapimplications on a random forum be damned, I'm telling you it flat out will not, can not, work on a 2nd gen.
18:56:47booboohais there any firmware that will?
18:56:51Soapno
18:56:59booboohais rockbox workin on it?
18:57:08Soapbarely
18:57:37booboohaok well i guess i can deal with just the normal firmware
18:57:42booboohano biggie
18:57:44SoapThe 2nd gen nano is the first iPod ever, the first ipod ever (except the shuffles) not to use the PortaPlayer chips.
18:57:56booboohao
18:58:08booboohaand what were those used for b4 and what do the new ipods use now
18:59:12Soapmain processor and half the other components. A "system on a chip"
18:59:22booboohauhuh
18:59:22SoapI believe samsung makes the new ones.
19:00
19:00:01bluebrotherSoap, do you know what processor it is? Still ARM7 core?
19:00:04booboohawell thx for all ur help, at least that saved me some frustration
19:00:22Soapbluebrother: everything I've read says it is, but I don't know how they know that.
19:01:13bluebrotherok. Lets see when someone manages to run code on it ...
19:01:46Soapmaybe the front page should be changed from "Nano 2nd gen and 80GB Video 5.5th gen are not supported)" to "Nano 2nd gen and 80GB Video 5.5th gen do not work.)"
19:02:10Soapsince IPL runs well on multiple devices they "do not support"

19:06:11Soap"not supported" in IPL lingo means "use at your own risk"

22:36:58Lloreansenab: That build by "sentertainment" probably causes a performance hit, since the Codecs make up most of the processing anyway, and should very likely keep the 2nd core to just them
22:37:26senabi thought that, why on earth would you move the backlight to the same core as the codecs?
22:37:47LloreanHe seems very enthusiastic to "try things" and "challenge things" to see if he can make things better.
22:37:55tamacrackeroh oh one more question, with rockbox on the F series Gigabeat work with linux?
22:38:11tamacrackerI use kubuntu and if my mp3 player works with linux... i will never use windows again.
22:38:14senabgood on him, he could use his brain a bit though
22:38:16GodEaterhe's an enthusiastic idiot :)
22:38:40Lloreantamacracker: Rockbox plays files from UMS mode, so if you can copy the files to the drive as normal MP3s (or any supported format), Rockbox can play it.

22:39:24tamacrackerwell this is the situation, with the gigabeat, in order to drag wma files.. it has to be on the docking station

22:39:58senabeverything but lol
22:39:59LloreanMany formats
22:40:04tamacrackerlol

22:47:14LloreanOh?
22:47:34senabwhy not order builds by platform instead? eg. portalplayer, coldfire
22:48:05linuxphileYes, the gigabeat is telling me to update or restore portable media center using pc application
22:48:10LloreanBecause there's no reason not to have an H300 / H10 / iPod Photo build.
22:48:29senabexactly
22:48:37LloreanBut that's Coldfire/PP/PP
22:48:59LloreanMaybe I'm missing something

22:50:34LloreanYeah. :(
22:51:03LloreanThat's why I just want a list of targets, in alphabetical order, in front of the build name.
22:51:15senabwell not really, i had a look at them today and really can't be arsed with those patches lol
22:51:21LloreanHahaha
22:51:26LloreanWell, I meant in the broadest sense.
22:51:32senabi know, haha
22:51:39LloreanI'm not a fan of the patches anyway, since they're just sorta fluff and not really features aiming for inclusion.
22:51:59senabthey're just one big huge mess
22:52:13tamacrackerHey Llorean, my operating system recognizes my gigabeat as of now as a Mounted Removable Medium, is this correct?

22:57:06tamacrackerah ok senab
22:57:42tamacrackeri have one more dumb question, am i goin to lose all my .sat files or if not will they be read by rock box?
22:57:42Lloreansenab: My favorite unsupported build used to be the "2.5.1" because it was just a backport of a relatively major bugfix to the 2.5 codebase for Archos users, but there's been drama on that front recently.
22:58:01Lloreantamacracker: Rockbox doesn't support .sat. You won't lose them, but Rockbox won't play them.
22:58:17senabwhat are *.sat?
22:58:26tamacracker>.> well i guess i have a crap load of songs to get again
22:58:36tamacrackerit's what toshiba converts the audio files into
22:58:39BagderLlorean: pathetic guys
22:58:47Mouser_Xtamacracker: There's a way to revert them back to MP3.
22:58:47tamacrackerso it will be .mp3.sat
22:58:54Mouser_XI don't know how to do it though.
22:58:55tamacrackerreally?!
22:58:56tamacrackeroh damn

23:05:07senabmalakai: doesn't cygwin use DOS line endings anyway?
23:05:41GodEatersenab: I believe it can use either - it's a choice on the install
23:05:43orkidbootloader missing (that's the problem). linux doesn't recognize it as a storage device, but does see it as a sandisk usb device with 'tango digital media platform'
23:06:05gotthardtsenab: you can tell cygwin which ending to use
23:06:10Malakaii think it's fine with dos endings. I think the CVS client I used auto converted the line endings, because I can open up configure in notepad and it's acting like dos line endings
23:06:20gotthardtif you want to change them go back to the setup prog and rerun
23:06:40GodEaterI think that'll be the problem then
23:06:57Malakaii'll look at the setup
23:07:12senabmalakia type the command 'mount'
23:07:14orkidso Malakai? any ideas?
23:07:37senabdoes /usr/bin show up as binmode / text mode?

23:08:13Malakaiorkid: don't know any details on Sansa stuff. Most players have a recovery mode in their firmware
23:08:23Lloreanorkid: This is the wrong place to ask about random MP3 players.
23:08:32Malakaiorkid: or at worse, you remove the harddrive, and boot the player, forcing recover mode (like gigabeats)
23:08:50senabmalakai, i'd personally just use CRLF endings
23:09:02orkidbut the firmware has been wiped from the player's flash memory. i know it's not the right place, but don't know of a bette rone, and forums/googling didn't give much info
23:09:13Malakaii guess if i want to edit files easily on the laptop it'd make more sense
23:09:30Bagderorkid: the sansa recovery mode is in the bootloader, not the firmware
23:09:32Lloreanorkid: Have you tried contacting Sandisk?
23:09:33Bagderso it works even if you've installed rockbox
23:09:33orkidit's a flash only device, wioth th efirmware stored in flash.. and a bootloader in flash too that loads the firmware.
23:09:35senabunless you use a good text editor, my fave on win32 is notepad++

23:10:17Malakaii use visual studio any time i'm coding. just more familiar with it.
23:10:31tamacrackeris the root location called Gigabeat or Gigabeat/GBSystem?
23:10:35orkidBagder: the boot loader has been toasted though, and i'm looking for a way to put it back on.
23:10:44Malakaiorkid: pull the flash, boot, then put the flash in. see if it goes into USB mode
23:10:51Lloreantamacracker: "Root" refers to the \ on the device.
23:10:54senabnotepad++ has a batch mode for converting lf −−> crlf iirc

23:12:57Lloreanorkid: Support has only been worked on for the e2xx series. Honestly, contact sandisk first.
23:13:07Malakaiahh. if /media/ is the 'root' for the Gigabeat drive, then yes, /media/GBSYSTEM is where the FW images go
23:13:17tamacrackerso I wasn't sure if it needs to go to Gigabeat or Gigabeat/GBSystem
23:13:17Malakaier /FWIMG
23:13:17orkidnvm, the paste is dumb.
23:13:27Lloreanorkid: The c-series isn't even listed on our page as a potential in-development port other than someone suggesting it in the forums. This is not a random hardware support channel.
23:13:28Bagderorkid: really, you should ask sandisk first anyway
23:13:28orkidnvm mind then. i'll go research elsewhere....

23:13:55tamacrackerok cool
23:13:55*Llorean wonders why people are so averse to contacting official support.
23:14:07Malakaiif virtual root = /media/Gigabeat/ then yes.
23:14:17Malakaii'm just saying, on the GB itself, there is no 'gigabeat' dir.

23:20:43tamacrackeryeah Llorean that's where i got confused.

23:21:36tamacrackercuz you mentioned something else.
23:21:50LloreanBagder: At least Sandisk can claim having provided us several hundred dollars worth of aid. I'm sure that makes them feel the warm fuzzies.
23:22:02Bagderyeah
23:22:27scorcheand they can claim that they got advertising for geeks on the cheap
23:22:33senabjust looking at some of the 'new ports', rockbox for java???? gps hardware???
23:22:41Malakaionly time you need to be in GBSYSTEM is to backup the GBSYSTEM/FWIMG01.DAT (original bootloader) and then add the new RockBox bootloader in the same direcytor.
23:22:41BagderI can offer a fun quote:
23:22:44Bagder"It would be great to see Rockbox.org release something by September"
23:22:56Mikachuaren't the 3.0 bugs fixed yet? you guys suck
23:22:59GodEaterwho was that from ?
23:23:01scorchesenab: look in the plugins section for a doom 3 request...
23:23:02Bagder(from my contact, dated august 2nd)
23:23:07Malakaiarg, i meant GBSYSTEM/FWIMG/FWIMG01.dat
23:23:09GodEaterah
23:23:18senabyou're joking? lol
23:23:30GodEaterdid he mean Sept. 2006 ? :)
23:23:48tamacrackerunderstood Malakai
23:23:56scorchesadly, im not
23:23:56BagderGodEater: yes
23:23:57senabn64 emulator?
23:23:57LloreanBagder: My response would've been "I feel we can offer some assurance of a September release if we are provided with adequate documentation of these chips: (list)"
23:24:16Lloreansenab: Clearly it's just a matter of renaming a file. (Are you reading that one?)
23:24:21BagderLlorean: I responded in a similar fashion
23:24:24GodEaterMine would have been expect it sometime Sept. 200x
23:24:39Bagderand here's another gem:
23:24:39LloreanBagder: At least you were honest with him about his prospects.
23:24:50Bagder"In our meetings last week with Europe Distis they all knew of you/rockbox.org."
23:24:59Bagderso they know us
23:25:07Bagderdated Oct 12
23:25:08senabLlorean: which one?
23:25:19GodEaterDistis ?
23:25:25Lloreansenab: The N64 one with the guy who was asking which file to rename from an N64 emulator to .rock.
23:25:27senabbadger: they're after you badger, they know where u live lol

23:26:36LloreanGodEater: Someone making errors again.
23:26:46drehomepage of rockbox says nano 2nd gen not supported....so is there anything at all i can do to modify my 2nd gen nano that you guys know of?

23:27:56 Quit bluey- (Client Quit)
23:27:57Lloreandre: It's because the firmware's encrypted.
23:27:57Mikachudre: not to make it work with rockbox, except replace it with a first gen nano :)
23:28:10Mouser_Xdre: From earlier (when someone else asked the same thing): <Soap> your problem is a failure to understand that the Nano 2nd generation has as much in common with the Nano 1st generation as it does with a toaster.
23:28:26Mouser_XIn other words, they can't get it working yet.
23:28:41GodEaterand in more words - no-one's even trying
23:28:50LloreanNot here, at least.
23:28:52drethe firmware is encrypted? so if i try to format the drive with windows
23:28:55drei will kill the ipod?
23:29:07tamacrackerhttp://download.rockbox.org/bootloader/ <- does not have toshiba's bootloader
23:29:14tamacrackeri mean for toshiba.
23:29:30Lloreantamacracker: See the manual... there's a link to a wiki page as well, or should be.
23:29:47MalakaiThe bootloader for gigabeat is checked into CVS
23:29:48Lloreandre: iTunes restore should be able to bring it back.
23:29:52senabis the 5.5g 30gb ipod, basically the same as the 5g 30gb hardware wise?
23:29:56Malakaiwhat else needs to happen for the CVS build process to make it?
23:29:56tamacrackerDownload the Rockbox bootloader. Currently there isn’t a prebuild bootloader available and you’ll need to build it yourself. This is described in the wiki. Once a prebuild bootloader is available the link comes here. Have a look at http://download.rockbox.org/bootloader/.
23:30:08Malakaineed the encrypter in the rockbox build chain?
23:30:29drei havent done it yet, i just want to know if i have any possible alternative to downloading and isntalling itunes i dont want apple's crap on my pc
23:30:29LloreanBagder: Can we put this http://globelock.mine.nu/rockbox/main-cvs/FWIMG01.DAT gigabeat bootloader up?
23:30:29tamacrackeri need to go the wiki page
23:31:09senabdre: the restore program is only in itunes now afaik
23:31:10Lloreandre: You're better off asking in a place where people actually use the Apple firmware regularly, specifically on 2G nanos.
23:31:26MalakaiLlorean: why not let the gigabeat bootloader auto build?
23:31:37BagderLlorean: done, its now on the download site
23:31:47LloreanMalakai: Bootloaders are usually kept as a static version, so that they can't accidentally be broken.
23:31:58LloreanThis is essential on some hardware that is difficult/impossible to recover from a bad bootloader.
23:32:05drellorean do you mean a forum of some sort? i wouldnt have a clue where to find people who use apple firmware for 2g nano
23:32:16LloreanBut it also allows for consistency, since once you have a working one, you always have one until a new major-version of it.

23:32:22dreor perhaps another irc channel
23:32:24Lloreandre: Try ipodlounge
23:32:52LloreanBagder: Thank you.
23:33:01LloreanMalakai: Just simplifies a whole host of things, really
23:33:02KCChey guys, at this point whats the batterylife like when running rockbox on an f-series gigabeat?
23:33:02Soapyea, the word "supported" is probably the wrong word to use.
23:33:36Mouser_XKCC: I've heard that you can expect at *least* 10 hours, when not using the EQ.
23:33:39LloreanSoap: Supported?
23:33:39Soapshould probably say something like "Ipod 5.5g 80GB and 2nd generation Nano will not work with Rockbox at this time."
23:33:45 Join dan_a [0] (n=dan-mirc@217.23.173.156)
23:33:45Mouser_XKCC: Most likely more.
23:33:48tamacrackerThanks for your help guys :P
23:33:49LloreanAh, yeah.
23:33:58tamacrackeralmost done :D
23:34:01LloreanSupported implies that we just won't help you with it.
23:34:08Soapwhen IPL says "not supported" they mean "works, but don't ask us for support"
23:34:10KCCWow, thats impressive! Why does the EQ drain so much battery?
23:34:23Soapwhen we say "not supported" we mean "does not work"
23:34:30Soapleads to confusion.
23:34:43senabkcc: because it uses cpu cycles draining power
23:34:43scorche...in many cases
23:34:46Mikachuthey imply "supported by us" but you imply "supported by rockbox"
23:34:53Mouser_XKCC: It's all run in software. My guess is that this requires more battery power to run the CPU at a heavier load.
23:35:01SoapKCC - the EQ is in the digital domain and is complex signal processing by the main CPU.
23:35:03KCCok, so if i leave the EQ settings at flat then im good for battylife
23:35:08senabyep
23:35:19Mikachuyou probably want to make sure the EQ is set to Off too
23:35:24KCCwill do
23:35:26senabunless the gigabeat has a hardware eq
23:35:30Malakaisomeone should check gigabeat/GigabeatDecrypter.c">http://www.hack.id.au/files/gigabeat/GigabeatDecrypter.c into CVS too before people forget
23:35:43Mikachui think the math in the EQ is more advanced than the actual decoder
23:35:58KCCabout the WPS... there seem to be 2 pages now... one for GigabeatFseries and one for Gigabeat320x240... whats the diff?
23:36:00Malakaigigabeat hardware EQ is bass/treble only
23:36:19LloreanMalakai: Well, that's not considered EQ in Rockbox terms, that's just "The Bass and Treble setting"
23:37:00*Malakai nods
23:37:04LloreanKCC: Where are you referring to?
23:37:16senabokay, i meant like the hw eq in the wolfson dac in the ipod
23:37:35 Quit kaaloo ("Leaving.")
23:37:35LloreanMalakai: The iPod Video has a 5-band limited hardware EQ.
23:37:35KCChttp://www.rockbox.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/GigabeatFXPort ... scroll down to "Gigabeat WPS Gallery"
23:37:40tamacrackerFont also goes into the root, yes?
23:37:50senabnope, /.rockbox/fonts/
23:37:53LloreanKCC: One of those two links leads to an offsite gallery
23:38:00tamacrackerthank you senab :D
23:38:14Lloreansenab: When you extract it, it creates .rockbox/fonts if you extract in the root, it has subdirs.
23:38:16senabnp :)
23:38:25Lloreantamacracker: Just make sure the .fnt files end up in /.rockbox/fonts
23:38:32fasmaietamacracker: unzipping fonts in root will put a fonts folder in .rockbox/fonts
23:38:34tamacrackeryep :D
23:38:39MalakaiDo any of the other RockBox targets support screen rotation?
23:38:48Bagderno
23:38:53senabllorean: i didn't know that, i only extract the fonts i want anyway
23:38:57Malakai:(
23:38:57LloreanSoap: Perhaps it could be changed to say "Rockbox does not support the 5.5G 80gb and Nano 2nd Gen"
23:39:08MalakaiNice thing about the original FW for Gigabeat was the ability to switch to horizontal themes
23:39:10BagderMalakai: if anyone did, it wouldn't be that big work we keep mentioning for doing it
23:39:27LloreanMalakai: Yeah, none of them do, but that's not because it's unwanted. Just nobody's done it.
23:39:28MalakaiI guess just the GUI thread really cares about it
23:39:34GodEaterI think we're going to need to write up some special instructions for Vista and iPodpatcher
23:39:42Malakainot like you need to notify people you're changing rotation with an event.
23:39:44LloreanGodEater: Yes: "Don't do it."
23:39:45Mikachuwouldn't it be fairly simple to hack the lcd driver to be permanently rotated?
23:40:05GodEaterLlorean: and how many people pay any attention to instructions like that on our forums ? :)
23:40:07SoapLlorean: I still don't like that usage of the word "support" - I still think it is ambigious.
23:40:08Bagderit would be easy to make it fixed rotated, yes
23:40:23GodEaterI think the chap on the forum with all the hassle is running a foul of vista's protection system
23:40:30LloreanSounds like it.
23:40:32GodEaterI know it's possible to disable it
23:40:36GodEaterbut I can't remember how
23:40:37SoapGodEater: two people in the last 24 hours who explicitly said they read that and thought it ment they should try.
23:40:39Mikachuso you could have two builds and rolo to change rotation maybe?
23:40:50GodEaterhaven't had vista on a PC near me for a couple of months
23:40:55senabhasn't the shell in vista been changed loads?
23:40:55BagderMikachu: not a bad idea really
23:41:07Malakaimik: yuck
23:41:10*Llorean likes the idea of making more use of ROLO.
23:41:10GodEaterit's not to do with the shell senab
23:41:21GodEaterit's to do with the lower level stuff in the OS
23:41:35senabi havn't used vista, so ive got no idea
23:41:36MalakaiROLO no go on GB yet.
23:41:48LloreanSoap: Well suggest it to Bagder, then. I like the idea of clarifying it, and that seems to do so.
23:41:55GodEaterI played with RC2 for a while
23:42:02Lloreansenab: I've got a vista disk coming in eventually, since it was free with a hardware purchase.
23:42:14GodEaterI'm waiting for M$ to wake up and smell the coffee with regards to pricing before I get it here
23:42:22GodEaterit's DOUBLE the price in the UK to the US
23:42:29MikachuLlorean: that is like saying the left shoe comes free with the purchase of the right shoe ;)
23:42:36senabi've just got no incling to get it, very happy with kubuntu recently
23:42:46GodEaterthey can just shove off if they think I'm dropping $800 for something they sell in the USA for $400
23:42:46tamacrackercrap
23:42:56tamacrackerthe rockbox splash screen didn't load
23:43:04senabgodeater, why not make use of the $2 = £1 rate then ;)
23:43:14LloreanMikachu: Well the hardware already had Media Center Edition installed, anyway.
23:43:18GodEatercos amazon won't ship it to the UK
23:43:25GodEaterand nor will anyone else
23:43:56drejeez
23:43:59senabi always though amazon shipped abroad
23:44:12GodEaterthey do generally
23:44:15GodEaterbut not in this case
23:44:25 Nick pill_ is now known as pill (i=pill@sloth.shellfx.net)
23:44:35GodEaterI'm going to get a friend of mine in Miami to ship it to me :)
23:44:47scorcheisnt amazon just a bonch of different companies that just list on amazon anyway?
23:44:53senabi need to get a new laptop anyway, i'll just wait until vista is out then get it oem for free
23:45:04tamacrackerIn my /media/gigabeat/gbsystem/fwimg folder i should have FWIMG00.DAT, FWIMG01.DAT, FWIMG01.DAT.ORIG, and FWIMG02.DAT right?

23:52:39Mouser_XKCC: That might have changed though. Many plugins seem to be quite flakey with the Gigabeat port of Rockbox.
23:53:05senabi'm not really seeing a battery life increase with the cop patch

23:53:48tamacrackerim sure i did everything correct, especially the boot files.
23:54:03senabdan_a: i'd thought it'd be more than that
23:54:10tamacrackerwould the fact that my linux assumes that the .dat file is a mpeg file have anything to do with it?

23:58:15dan_aIt was, but it was using full power. I thought it would be powered down, so using it would make battery life worse. I'm going to do some tests to balance things between the two cores, and see what kind of effects I can get
