00:01:25Mikachui would recommend xchat but i hear their windows binary isn't free
00:01:31Mikachuas in beer
00:01:53*petur would have triggered if his stomach was ok
00:02:03Echelongrab the silverex binary
00:02:05XavierGrmirc is the best for me in windows though sadly it isn't free
00:02:07Echelonthats the free win32 xchat
00:02:11*preglow has gin and tonic
00:02:16BigBambiMikachu: there are free versions available
00:02:28BigBambiHa, beaten to it
00:02:33*amiconn doesn't like xchat
00:02:46*preglow neiher
00:02:47Mikachume neither :)
00:03:22amiconnIt's ok-ish, I like the clean look of hydra much better
00:03:34preglowi like the text mode look
00:03:38Echelonmidgey, mind not slamming me with every CTCP request in the book?
00:03:41preglowhence love of irssi, heh
00:03:48amiconnAnd the free win32 version of xchat crashed on me a lot, while hydra is rock stable
00:03:51XavierGrwell I tried hydra once, but I felt quite limited with it
00:04:10preglowhydra looks pretty much like mirc to me

00:04:13MikachuEchelon: what do you expect with that nick? :)
00:04:13Echelonirssi + cygwin ;)
00:04:28*Mikachu waits for midgey to slap Echelon around with a large trout
00:04:38EchelonMikachu, a port scan, strip search, etc.
00:04:44*midgey will do no slapping
00:04:56preglowtoo bad forehead's not around, i feel like slapping
00:05:13Echelonhead on, apply directly to the forehead.

00:07:01*linuxstb_ reads about a Fujitsu 300GB 2.5" disk, but it's SATA...
00:07:16ender`SATA or SAS?
00:07:52linuxstb_The article I read said SATA
00:08:00Mikachuwhat is SAS?
00:08:20ender`SCSI Attached Storage (serial SCSI)

00:08:53preglowscsi needs to die
00:09:31*petur had scsi until 2 years ago
00:10:40linuxstb_Seems that 2.5" PATA is stopping at 160GB... :(
00:10:47ender`scsi is dying
00:10:59ender`new servers are SAS only
00:11:09Bagderscsi is still used widely like in usb-storage etc
00:11:18preglowi don't see much of an advantage with it
00:11:27preglowwouldn't usb do the job nice-ish?
00:11:28BagderI mean, the transport, not the physical
00:12:08amiconnpreglow: USB is way slower than SAS
00:12:15peturscsi used to be your only hope in PATA-only land, because PATA sucked, SATA changed that
00:12:32ender`SAS is backwards-compatible with SATA
00:12:40amiconnSAS uses the same physical links as SATA,
00:12:45Mikachudoesn't usb suck in many ways?
00:12:50preglowMikachu: it does
00:12:56amiconninitially at SATA-2 speed (3GBit/s)
00:13:23ender`you can connect SATA devices to SAS controller, but not vice-versa
00:13:37preglowamiconn: yes it is, i can't think of many things requiring speeds above what usb2 offers
00:13:44preglowinsert "but"
00:13:54amiconnHard disks in servers surely do
00:14:07preglowah, yes, but those'd do nicely with even just sata
00:14:52linuxstb_Dealing with video, especially hi-def...
00:16:23preglowi can imagine realtime transport of that requiring a ton of bandwidth, yes
00:19:50dionoeai've seen talk about using bmps for background images in the bootloader. Is that already available ?
00:19:52ender`you probably don't want to deal with completely uncompressed hi-def video - that'd need 180MB/s, which you're unlikely to get off hard disks
00:20:02Mikachu% units '1920 * 1080 * 24 bits * 29.97' MiB -t
00:20:02Mikachu177.80054
00:20:11Mikachudamn
00:20:12SoapIt doesn't take /that/ many USB drives to saturate the bus, esp. if you make the mistake of trying to RAID them.
00:20:12ender`1088
00:20:26LearWhat, only 30p? :)
00:20:27Bagderwell, there are many systems that deal with fully uncompressed video
00:21:12amiconnender`: A moderate scsi or sas raid with 15krpm disks should be able to handle that
00:21:38linuxstb_It's not simply realtime processing though - you want to do manipulations as fast as possible.
00:21:54linuxstb_So you can never have enough speed.
00:22:08Mikachuone hour of that would be 632GB

00:23:04Mikachui wonder if hdtv cameras compress straight to mpeg2
00:23:27Mikachuor if they have some sort of crazy multi terabyte magnetic tapes
00:23:28ender`it probably depends on the camera
00:23:35Bagderhdtv is mpeg4 at places... :-)
00:23:37linuxstb_dionoea: The gigabeat bootloader can load images in a raw bitmap format, not bmp. That's the only bootloader that does it though afaik.
00:24:20Mikachudoesn't rockbox load like 1 second after the bootloader?
00:25:00Soapoh, no one said it was a useful feature ;)
00:25:04linuxstb_Yes, but I can see the point if Rockbox itself then doesn't clear the LCD until the file browser appears.
00:25:33preglowMikachu: they usually compress straight away, yes
00:25:42preglowbut it all depends what segment you're in
00:25:48Mikachui made the bootloader not clear the screen, keeping the apple the ipod puts there, then i show a worm-eaten apple in the rockbox splash

00:40:23RogerBaconhi, im still trying to find someone that have freetime in the next week to analyse the gigabeat S firmware (reverse engennering)
00:40:45RogerBaconwe dont need the device, because we are trying to find a buffer overflow, bug in the bootloader.
00:40:49linuxstbMikachu: You'll need to dump the flash from your ipod.
00:41:05RogerBacon*you
00:41:22preglowRogerBacon: not an easy thing to look for when you don't have source code
00:41:32linuxstb(in the bootloader, before Rockbox remaps it. Just write(fd,0,512*1024*1024) will do it)

00:55:58RogerBaconSoap : In new audio quality tests conducted by the PC World Test Center, the Gigabeat S earned an overall score of Very Good. The player generated a very clean signal (its signal-to-noise ratio was the highest we measured), and it achieved a very high volume before its audio reached 1 percent distortion (an industry-standard measurement). Also, its total harmonic distortion was very low. See details on how we test audio player

00:59:25RogerBaconnot copy protection.

01:24:33linuxstb_petur: All the recent FAT bugs seem to be related to longnames, maybe we should find out how other systems do it (e.g. Linux, or even Windows if it's documented), and copy it.
01:25:10Mikachulinux has some mount options for shortnames
01:25:17peturwell windows has no solution to this issue as it tris to access the first file
01:25:21Mikachuthe default is the ~ stuff i think, but you can just truncate too

01:25:37linuxstb_Ah, so the bug exists in WIndows?
01:25:47Mikachuit's more like a bug in the spec if you ask me
01:25:58peturnot a real bug, no
01:26:18peturit's handled as if the file already exsts
01:26:49linuxstb_I misread... I assume creating config01.cfgA followed by config01.cfg works?
01:27:08peturso writing config01.cfg should see that its shortname already exists AND it can't randomize because its not a longname
01:27:19peturthat order fails

01:28:23linuxstb_Always randomising the longname seems a sensible solution though, without much impact.

01:29:14peturnot a simple hack to fix :(
01:29:20linuxstb_I mean randomising if it isn't 8.3.

01:31:23peturJdGordon: read the irc log of tonight...

02:26:43Mikachuhello
02:26:51JdGordondefining config_none to 0 looks like it would be ok.. but yeah, still need a base config to actually set it
02:27:00linuxstb_Would putting #ifndef CONFIG_XXX -> #define CONFIG_XXX 0 in config.h be a solution?
02:27:34JdGordonI was just thinking that
02:27:47Mikachuthat would keep all typos in a single file :)
02:27:49JdGordonit wouldnt get everything.. but it would a few
02:27:53preglowif it doesn't defeat the whole reason -Wundef is used, then go ahead, i'd say
02:28:09linuxstb_So only the CONFIG variables we know should be defined as 0 are - I think that's the difference compared to the old way.
02:28:23linuxstb_So CONFIC_CODEC wouldn't be...
02:28:24Mikachubut then you have to be sure you're not using #ifdef somewhere
02:28:45JdGordon#define CONFIG_UNDEFINED 0 ? or not even bother with a name and just define them 0?
02:28:49preglowsure, but that we have to anyway

02:57:57linuxstbJdGordon: The approach seems logical to me - it means we need to use #if CONFIG_XXX to see if the hardware has that feature, and #ifdef HAVE_XXX for those defines.
02:58:22linuxstbAlthough I would probably just use 0 instead of CONFIG_UNDEFINED - makes it clearer IMO.

03:46:01pintreeok just got another window
03:46:09combrainsyou can still access all of the music that itunes put on ur ipod - you just have to convert the ipod database into a rockbox database
03:46:12pintreesee what i can do there back in a sec
03:46:24combrainsthere is a section in the manual on how to do that i believe
03:46:49combrainsif no then have a look at the ipod port page on the wiki - im pretty sure that there is somthing there
03:47:17pintreehi anyway of getting the fonts bigger or something i can barelly read the thing
03:47:33combrainsany new music you can just drag and drop if you dont wanna use itunes

04:18:44pintreeso album art, regardless of theme will not be displayed−−am i understainding this righ?
04:20:15pintreeOk so as I am going FF from file to file I will see it but once a file is playing the art will disappear, is this correct?
04:20:50Soapno
04:21:08pintreeok then no art whatsoever ever yes
04:21:22SoapIf you use a WPS which supports album art, in most all instances the WPS will not work properly, you will never see album art.
04:22:26pintreeshoot−−as i use my ipod mor often then not as i am driving, album art is the only way i could see what there
04:22:29Soap(in some instances, very few, the WPS creator has made the art displaying code a conditional statement so that a generic "no album art" present image is displayed)

05:40:12w1ll14mehhh s/stack/thread/
05:40:31JdGordonw1ll14m: that doesnt sound like a good idea
05:40:42JdGordonall ata stuff should eb handled in the 1 thread
05:41:20w1ll14mJdGordon: true, but on CPU you have audio and ata thread, those both use a lot of cpu power
05:41:38w1ll14mmaybe you can use some power from COP with a ata2 thread
05:42:21JdGordonno, because the ata depends on the disk more than the cpu (i assume anyway)
05:42:43JdGordonif you put the ata thread entirely on the cop, there might be a performance increase...
05:42:57JdGordoni doubt ata would slow down the cpu tho
05:43:01w1ll14mJdGordon: that means almost a total rewrite
05:43:13JdGordon...
05:43:53w1ll14mwhat i mean is: when audio thread is used (when playing) then filling the buffer takes up to 2 or 3 times as it would when paused
05:43:58w1ll14mplayback paused*
05:44:32w1ll14mand if you change ata to COP it's faster, but a lot of data aborts
05:44:41JdGordonthe thing is.. you have to be careful about which thread tries to use the disk... and make sure they never try at the same time
05:44:48JdGordonas well as keeping buffers seperate
05:45:05JdGordonata has a mutex which might be enough... i dunno

05:46:06w1ll14mi thought if you would add a ata2 and let diskcache and buffers get their data from ata2 and the system would still use ata (when saving config or when booting)
05:46:28w1ll14mthath would give the audio thread more power and buffers will fillup faster
05:46:36w1ll14matleast that is what i think ....
05:46:52w1ll14mas of now i have a ata2 thread on cop running, but it's not used yet
05:47:18w1ll14matleats i would like to try, but i don't know how to let the buffers read ata2 instead of just ata
05:49:15JdGordoncant you just move the whole thread onto the cop by changing the create_thread call?
05:49:46w1ll14mJdGordon: that can, but it makes rockbox a lot more unstable more data aborts and sudden reboots
05:50:28w1ll14mofcourse i've tried that ;)
05:50:40JdGordonprobably because of the ata_idle_nopfity stuff
05:51:17w1ll14mcan you explain why the ata_idle_notify has to do with those datababorts ?
05:51:46JdGordonbecause it runs functions expecting to be called on the main cpu i guess?
05:52:02JdGordonim not entirley sure how the multi-cpu stuff works
05:52:14w1ll14myeah that was my guess to .... but the whole problem is, how can you change those calls ?
05:52:36w1ll14mi've moved audio thread to, but i think it had a problem accessing iram
05:52:57w1ll14mso pcm and codec buffers 0/0 bytees :|

05:53:30w1ll14mso i've moved audio back to main core

06:18:58dewdudeParker, http://www.rockbox.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/WhyRockbox
06:19:10dewdudepintree, yes. so, you couldn't see your itunes loaded music because of the way rockbox works
06:19:15pintreei had/have is all my files alrady in my ipod as i installed rockbock sinc itunes was being used before so
06:19:33Parkerok, thats what i was thinking
06:19:34pintreei am assumng what i am doing now is loading the stuff from itunes−−is this right?
06:19:35dewdudeyes, all your music is in the ipod control folder. database mode will load the tags.

06:19:49Parkeris there any kind of rockbox for the gigabeat v
06:19:50dewdudeit's scanning for mp3 files and reading the tag information
06:19:53Parkeri have one
06:19:57dewdudeParker, look on the website.
06:20:11Parkeri looked, they don't say they have any
06:20:17dewdudewell, it's scanning for all media files it can play
06:20:26dewdudeParker, then i would assume that means they don't have it yet.
06:20:34Parkerok.
06:21:27dewdudepintree, if you've converted from itunes, then, database mode would be your best bet. but, rockbox normally accesses music off the ipod hard drive.
06:21:46dewdudewhich also means the original firmware can't see anything you load for rockbox.

06:38:51w1ll14mi ca't live a day withput it....
06:38:57pintreeok going nuts−−website info says to go2 general settings−−Files view i do so
06:39:01Mouser_XBasically same here.
06:39:22Mouser_XWhen my battery dies, it's quite disappointing.
06:39:30Mouser_XThough, that's only happened 2 or 3 times.
06:39:47Mouser_X(I usually get 15+ hours of play out of it.)
06:39:49w1ll14mpintree: go to general settings −−> file view −−> show files
06:39:57pintreethen i see 'sor case sensitive, sort directories etc and then in the 'show files' windowt
06:40:16ParkerMouser_X: its really nice, i like it a lot. most people seem to be put off with its ability to only play wmv files, but i found a free video converter before i bought it and haven't had any trouble. the sound is great, the battery is excellent, and its a pretty awesome overall
06:40:20pintreei have 'all' which takes me back to the previous window
06:40:25Parkeri found it on amazon.com for 150
06:40:30w1ll14mset it to Supported if you wan't to use normal file browser, or set it to database if you want to use music allready stored by itunes

06:41:34pintreeyes did go to database and i have load to ram autoupdate etc which is all the steps i had done before
06:41:41w1ll14mok
06:41:45w1ll14mthen go to main menu
06:41:48w1ll14mand press menu again

06:42:19w1ll14mpress menu button again, what do you get ?
06:42:49Parkerdoes the firmware from an mp3 player determine what file types it read, or the hardware?

06:43:17pintreei get ' .rockbox' calmedars., contacts, ipod coontgrol , notes and rockbox.ipod
06:43:34w1ll14mok, then it's still switched to file view
06:43:44w1ll14mpintree: do you want to use the music itunes allready stored ?
06:44:11w1ll14mor do you want to add new music (using your harddisk as a regular removable harddisk)
06:44:19pintreeif by that you mean the music in my ipod with all my btags then yes or what other choice?
06:44:19w1ll14mwithout itunes*
06:44:36w1ll14mthen you just browse with directories and filenames
06:44:54w1ll14mthat is what you have selected right now
06:45:00pintreeok, will i still be able toplay 'all'?
06:45:15pintreeor mst i p[lay one album at a time?
06:45:31w1ll14myou can set rockbox to auto jump to next folder
06:45:42w1ll14mwhich could be a different album ;)
06:46:02pintreeok fine let's do it the rockbox way−−which is what it was designed to do
06:46:09pintreenow how do i play music?
06:46:18w1ll14mok, then you have to connect to a computer (shut down itunes)
06:46:32pintreeitunes is not on
06:46:54pintreeby connecting to my computer i ahve a Q to ask−−what haooens to the music already in the ipod?
06:46:55w1ll14mremove all directory's from ipod drive(You must leave .rockbox and rockbox.ipod on the drive)
06:47:12w1ll14mthen your ipod is clean
06:47:32pintreeOK that would mean delete all my music correct? which also means all my album art corect?
06:47:41w1ll14mnow you can drag and drop music to your ipod
06:47:47w1ll14mindeed
06:47:50pintreeif so then no I don't want to do that
06:47:56w1ll14mthat removes totaly everything from the ipod
06:48:02w1ll14mok, you can leave those
06:48:10pintreeback to the drawing board−−too much work done for album art
06:48:13w1ll14mthen you could just copy new music to your ipod
06:48:27w1ll14mpintree: lol :)
06:48:33 Quit rotator ()
06:48:55pintreewhat do u mean ccopy? isn't it already there?
06:49:24w1ll14mcorrect... but it's only availible from database if you want to use music that was stored by itunes
06:49:39pintreeBTW it's nice to c ur laughing, makes me feel better since I ont the other hand want to throw my ipod out the window
06:49:46pintreenever liked the damned thing
06:49:55w1ll14mhehhe :) how come ?
06:50:59pintreewell 'cause i'm old i guess−−i like things to be like on a discman a real button to ff rewind play etc
06:51:09w1ll14mlol
06:51:24pintreethis thing instead brings me to a shitload of menus i couldn't care about
06:51:48w1ll14myou have 2 choices, use the music allready stored on ipod by itunes using database, or use file mode (which cannot use itunes music because itunes renames music to xxxx.mp3) and add new songs to ipod
06:51:49pintreeall i want is play/listen to music and se what i am playing (preferably w/ art)
06:51:58JdGordonawesome :) I have done every commit on the front page :D
06:52:01*JdGordon rules :D
06:52:24pintreesince i think most mp3 downloaded sound like crap i prefer ogg flac etc
06:52:55w1ll14mpintree: rockbox can play those ;)
06:53:10w1ll14mnot shure if of does that too ....
06:53:39pintreeyes it can YEAHHH that's why i'm here i just wish u didn't need a PHD in 'rockbox tech' to operate the damned thing (sorry for my lingo) ;-)
06:53:55w1ll14mPHD ?
06:54:03w1ll14mnever heard of that word ;)
06:54:27pintreeyes i am exqagerating one does not need a PHD (a univeristy doctorate degree)
06:54:43w1ll14mpintree: ok ;)
06:55:03pintreeu know 2st is aBachelor's degree (BA) then a MAsters (MA) then a PHD
06:55:28w1ll14msorry, never heard of it ;)
06:55:38w1ll14mbut what would you want to use ? database (can play itunes stored songs) or add new songs to ipod ?

07:00:11w1ll14mok
07:00:40w1ll14mwhat was it that you saw ??? ;)
07:00:51pintreeok figured out how to play except−−n ur gonna hate me for this−−the list showing is a bunch of numbers
07:01:05pintreeand not the actual album/artist song name
07:01:21w1ll14mok, then you are still in filebrowser mode....
07:01:33pintreeonce playing i see the corect info but not b4, which would be helpful so i know what i wanna choose
07:01:38w1ll14mthat is what itunes does rename the songs to xxxx.mp3
07:01:42decayedcellso w1ll14m your patch just sets the CPU at different frequencies for different tasks?
07:02:25pintreei know I am seeing what itunes names it−−does this mean i need aplugin opr something so i could c the actual files
07:02:25w1ll14mdecayedcell: it changed the normal freq and boost freq. normal:60MHz boost:90MHz (should work for all PP50xx targets)
07:02:40w1ll14mpintree: no you need to change to database mode
07:02:51pintreeok will c how to get there
07:02:55w1ll14mgo to generel settings −−> file view −−> show files −−> scroll to database and press select
07:03:06w1ll14mthen it should be switched to database
07:03:16decayedcellpintree you need to let Rockbox scan for the tags on your mp3s first, hence I like my idea of Rockbox asking :D

07:17:46w1ll14mthat was very unexpected.....
07:17:54*MonkeyTamer gets ready to write them down for the a future lottery ticket...
07:18:06decayedcellw1ll14m is that cop10 + w1ll14m patch
07:18:16pintreeu mea the code" it says data abort at 0003E868
07:18:22w1ll14mdecayedcell: no as far as i know
07:18:22Mouser_Xw1ll14m: What happens if you don't have a database initialized?
07:18:41Mouser_X(I've never used the DB, and it's unlikely I ever will.)
07:18:41w1ll14mMouser_X it should tell you that database isn't ready
07:18:46Mouser_XAh.
07:19:00w1ll14matleast no dataabort ;)
07:19:04Mouser_XThat sounds like a good idea (crashing isn't).
07:19:05Mouser_XYEs.
07:19:07MonkeyTamerwhat's wrong with the DB?
07:19:28w1ll14mpintree: did you rebooted your device ?
07:19:40w1ll14mand wrote the number of the data abort ?

07:20:51pintreehld on
07:20:52Mouser_Xw1ll14m: Never used iTunes, though you do have a point.
07:21:07Mouser_Xdecayedcell: heh.
07:21:13decayedcellMouser_X you don't need to use iTunes to use the database, it just grabs the tags and buidls one
07:21:16MonkeyTameralthough it really wouldn't make that much of a difference if I used the filetree; it's all organized the same way that I use the DB; by artist that is
07:21:22pintreeyeahhhhhhhhhhhh ;-) ;-) :-) :-):-):-):-):-):-):-):-):-):-)
07:21:30w1ll14mMouser_X: the reason i bought my ipod was bacause there was linux for it, i allready had an mp3 player
07:21:41w1ll14mpintree: i guess it works ... ;)
07:22:01w1ll14mthen i lost my mp3 player.... and used OF for 3 months.... then i found rockbox ;)
07:22:08pintreei guess now i hav to figure out how to remeber all thisa luv yas lots ;-) hugs and all
07:22:19MonkeyTamerit's painful using the OF these days
07:22:26w1ll14mpintree :) nice.... then it's bed time ;)
07:22:27pintreeOK now back to the pacth which u said shows the album art
07:22:31pintree where is it pls
07:22:33MonkeyTamerno crossfade is a huge minus
07:22:38MonkeyTamer*feed
07:22:39Mouser_XMonkeyTamer: I don't use the DB because I've been (attempting) to keep my Gigabeat organized. I have it organized by album (organizing by artist isn't so good, when dealing with video game soundtracks, IMO).
07:22:54MonkeyTamerthat's valid
07:22:57*w1ll14m sometimes haves nightmares about OF taking over my device....
07:23:06Mouser_XHeh
07:23:20*w1ll14m but then he reminds his self that it sin't possible and in his dream he was listening to rockbox again ;)
07:23:29Mouser_Xpintree: You'll need to compile your own copy of Rockbox, to apply patches.
07:23:32w1ll14mehh s/sin't/isn't/
07:23:33MonkeyTamereveryone has their own system, as long as you recognize which albums are according to which artist :P
07:23:47Mouser_XIn other words, you might need to find another method of getting a patched copy.
07:24:00pintreeOK guess i gotta do some learning first but it's good to know it exists
07:24:08pintreeoh apacthed copy? cool
07:24:13w1ll14mpintree: indeed, that's a little more complicated
07:24:17Mouser_Xpintree: Check the forums.
07:24:27decayedcellpintree indeed. You need to make a bmp file blah blah etc etc
07:24:32Mouser_XSome people post patched copies of Rockbox on the forums.
07:24:34decayedcellit doesn't read straight from the mp3
07:24:38pintreegot it will do for sure
07:24:56Mouser_Xdecayedcell pintree: This is true.
07:24:57w1ll14mpintree: have fun with your new brockboxed device ;)
07:25:00pintreealright dude seriously tme to go to bed

07:25:34Mouser_Xpintree: Rockbox will last roughly half as long as the default firmware (on the iPod, that is). Just letting you know.
07:25:40Mouser_XUsually better, but not a whole lot better.
07:25:46Mouser_XAt least, this is what I've heard.
07:25:57Mouser_X(This is for how long it can go on one charge.)
07:26:08decayedcellMouser_X its improved with the cop patch, by a couple hours on my ipod
07:26:17Mouser_XOh, that's good!
07:26:19pintreewait a munte−−one says 'half as long' and the other says 'usually better' what gives?
07:26:22decayedcellcouple hours over half that is :D
07:26:37Mouser_Xpintree: It depends on how you use it.
07:27:06Mouser_XRoughly 50% is about how long you can expect, but you might get slightly better.
07:27:06MonkeyTamerwell, it depends on the ipod
07:27:06pintreehow I use it? I use it to make coffe, do my reports and.... what do u mean how i use it−−to play music
07:27:13MonkeyTameripod video does much better than the 4g
07:27:26Mouser_Xpintree: Different formats take more power to play.
07:27:43pintreeOK so rockbox consumes more battery power is the conclusion here and lots of it
07:27:43MonkeyTameryes, depending on bitrate, size, etc.
07:27:44Mouser_XMP3 takes less battery than OGG or FLAC, for example.
07:27:54decayedcellpintree i.e. FLAC is super power hungry because it reads from the disk a lot
07:27:58Mouser_XADX takes less battery than MP3, from what I've seen.
07:28:18pintreethis sucks for I believed the ipod pre-rockbox consumed to much battery power as ti was (hence another reason for me hating it)
07:28:34Mouser_X(ADX isn't a common format. I wouldn't expect you to be familiar with it, or use it much, if at all.)
07:28:47decayedcellpintree the ipod port is still under development, over time Rockbox should be able to squeeze more hours out of it
07:28:56Mouser_XIndeed.
07:29:02MonkeyTamerwell, the advantage to FLAC however is that it uses much less cpu; so when those ssd's come out, flac will be a viable option
07:29:34Mouser_XADX uses a lot less CPU, which is why it's better than MP3 (in regards to battery life).
07:29:40pintreeOK got it, well since i figured ipod OS was to power consuming as was, and now rock box is worst it seems I have done all this for nothing
07:29:44decayedcellthe problem is, is that Rockbox needs to run the CPU at higher frequencies compared to the OF to do the same task, i.e. OF runs 33Mhz to play music, whilst Rockbox needs 75Mhz
07:29:46Mouser_XThough, it's a much larger format, so it reads from the disc more often.
07:29:46MonkeyTamermp3 is terrible in cpu usage
07:30:05pintreemust uninstall rockbox and revert back to ipod itunes
07:30:12decayedcellhow about the AAC decoder is that more efficient than mp3
07:30:21Mouser_XNo idea.
07:30:25decayedcellpintree your ipod is dual bootable you know
07:30:33pintreethe power consumtption drainage level b4 drove me nuts so this will make me commit suicide
07:30:36MonkeyTamerunfortunately, but flash memory has no moving parts, so I would imagine that an ssd would have a decreased drawback with flac
07:31:10decayedcellnot all ipods are flash based, i.e. the larger 20GB+ models
07:31:26MonkeyTamerno, I mean solid state drives
07:31:31 Join neutralrobotboy [0] (n=nrb@177.169.233.220.exetel.com.au)
07:31:39MonkeyTamerthere are IDE 1.8" ssd's coming out
07:31:52neutralrobotboyhey, is there a known bug with tbattery recharging in rockbox on the h320?
07:32:08MonkeyTamersupposed to be around spring... but who knows
07:32:20pintreei guess i cuod try dual booting−−but i hav a funny feeling i'l jst revert back to it−−actually selling the bloody ipod may be a good idea as well
07:32:31MonkeyTamerget a gigabeat
07:32:34MonkeyTamerhaha
07:32:37Mouser_XIndeed
07:32:48Mouser_XGigabeat+Rockbox=GOLD!
07:32:50pintreetel me about 'gigabeat' pls
07:33:07Mouser_XI get 15+ hours off of one charge.
07:33:08MonkeyTamerthe only reason I'm not getting a gigabeat is because I intend on outfitting my ipod with an SSD
07:33:10pintreedoes it have 60Gig or more HDD?
07:33:16Mouser_XYes.
07:33:22Mouser_XI have a 40 GB drive.
07:33:24pintreewhat's an SSD
07:33:27Mouser_XF40 is what I have.
07:33:32MonkeyTamerflash drive
07:33:33Mouser_XSolid State Drive
07:33:40Mouser_XBasically, what he said.
07:33:46pintreeand what does the SSD do?
07:33:55MonkeyTamerbut, Gigabeats are very good DAPs
07:34:04MonkeyTamerit's the same as a hard drive
07:34:12MonkeyTamerbut flash -> no moving parts
07:34:15pintreeand?
07:34:16Mouser_XThough, it'd take less battery to operate.
07:34:25Mouser_XSince there's no moving parts.
07:34:25MonkeyTamerexactly
07:34:29Mouser_XAlso, it's less likely to break, that way.
07:34:37MonkeyTamerthus last longer
07:34:40Mouser_X(Moving parts on a HDD can scratch the drive)
07:34:43pintreeok so u attach the ssd to the ipod is this correct?
07:34:49MonkeyTamerkind of
07:34:54MonkeyTameryou'd have to open it
07:35:05Mouser_XWell, he was going to replace the HDD in his iPod with a SSD.
07:35:05pintreeopen the ipod or the SSD?
07:35:10MonkeyTamerbut it's the same size as a regular hard drive, more or less
07:35:16MonkeyTameripod
07:35:24MonkeyTamerthere is a constraint however
07:35:26pintreeOk got it
07:35:35MonkeyTamerit will likely only fit in 60gb 5gs
07:35:36pintreewhat happens to your ipod hard drive then?
07:35:42MonkeyTameror ipod colors
07:35:55Mouser_XHe doesn't use the iPod HDD anymore.
07:35:58MonkeyTamertrash? frisbee? donate to to someone?
07:36:03Mouser_XHe could sell it on eBay.
07:36:08MonkeyTamerthat too
07:36:35MonkeyTamercould fetch like $20? :p
07:36:38pintreewait since it is a hard drive can't you simply by a hard drive box connect it and use it as an exteranl hard rive with your PC?
07:36:54Mouser_XMonkeyTamer: I'd think more.
07:37:04MonkeyTamerit's only 20 GB
07:37:08Mouser_XDepending on the condition, and size, of course.
07:37:24Mouser_XWell, I'd still think you'd get more than $20 for it.
07:37:32MonkeyTamerthat would be nice
07:37:38MonkeyTamerpintree: why?
07:37:41pintreer u saying that 'depending on the condition ' of the ipod HD u can do this?
07:38:00MonkeyTamerno, depending on the condition I could sell it
07:38:06Mouser_XNo, depending on the condition of the drive, you could get more than $20 on eBay for it.
07:38:11MonkeyTamerlol
07:38:16Mouser_XYes, what he said.
07:38:28pintreewhy? cause it's something i could consider if I can still use the ipod hard drive−−i was planning on buying an extrenal hd anyhow for backups
07:38:28MonkeyTamerthere was something funny about how matter of face that statement was
07:38:52MonkeyTamerno no no... you can't use flash for an external
07:38:56MonkeyTamerthat'd be wasteful
07:39:05 Part neutralrobotboy
07:39:08pintreeno, not the flash the HD
07:39:15MonkeyTamerthe 1.8?
07:39:20Mouser_Xpintree: You could use the iPod's old drive as an external for your PC. You might need to build an adapter for it though.
07:39:23MonkeyTamerit's still useless...
07:39:27Mouser_X(I don't know on that one.)
07:39:32MonkeyTamerthose drives are not very durable
07:39:33pintreethought so
07:39:40pintreehey when r u gonna sleep?
07:39:44Mouser_XMe?
07:40:56pintreewell actually <w1ll14m> but i think he's gone
07:41:07Mouser_XYes, so do I.
07:41:14 Join Juddy [0] (n=adb@124-168-92-106.dyn.iinet.net.au)
07:41:27pintreeok so back to the flash, how confident r u about it?
07:41:35pintreehow much does it go for?
07:41:37MonkeyTamerwell, they're rated for 10 years
07:41:38Mouser_XWhat do you mean?
07:41:41MonkeyTamerand they're not out yet
07:41:47Mouser_XOh, I'd have no idea how much it'd cost.
07:42:04Mouser_XIt'd be expensive though, based on prices for flash-based memory.
07:42:06MonkeyTamerI heard $169 for a 16GB
07:42:12MonkeyTamerstill very expensive
07:42:17Mouser_XSee? Expensive.
07:42:24pintreewell perhaps then, if it's as much as a new ipod or the giga thing mentioned earlier then it may not be a good didea
07:42:41MonkeyTamercould be better to get a gigabeat, and probably is
07:42:45Juddyhey guys i have found this really cool video encoding program to use for encoding files for mpeg viewe Its called blaze media pro. anyone tried it? comments?
07:42:46MonkeyTamerbut it's more for fun
07:42:59Mouser_XPersonally, selling your iPod, and getting a Gigabeat sounds like a good idea, to me.
07:43:14pintree$169 for a 16GB would mean more than 2X for a 60G
07:43:14MonkeyTamerI wouldn't doubt it
07:43:24Mouser_X(Take note: I love my Gigabeat. As such, I will of course talk it up the best I can.)
07:43:32pintreewill look into the gigabeat

07:44:17MonkeyTamerBlaze media pro sounds familia
07:44:19Juddyits like so uber now.
07:44:20Mouser_Xpintree: I've heard you can find a Gigabeat F on eBay for about $80, if you keep a good watch on things.
07:44:36MonkeyTameryes, I have used it
07:44:40Mouser_X(That'd be the F40 though. If you're wanting a 60 GB model, it'd probably be more than that.)
07:44:43Juddyany good monkeytamer?
07:44:49MonkeyTamerseemed fairly decent
07:44:52t0dk0nis there any tutorials on using the new "recording" option for ipod videos?
07:44:55MonkeyTamerdid a good job more or less
07:44:58MonkeyTamerbut what's the price?
07:45:04t0dk0nor documentation, rather
07:45:05decayedcellMonkeyTamer lol Blaze Media Pro... I used to use that to convert something forgotten now
07:45:14pintreenow the ipod video 60G i bought at CDN $600 the new 80Gig one costs 150 less hmmm! wonder what i culd sell it for?

07:52:21pintreeso I donwload mirc, register it, and voila. it's done and legal?
07:52:27MonkeyTamerif you use firefox, chatzilla is fine
07:52:42MonkeyTamerI think registering it costs something
07:53:01MonkeyTamerwhether or not anyone actually registers? beats me..
07:53:05decayedcellotherwise you can use Opera's built in IRC, that's free
07:53:11pintreeusing chatzilla w/ firefox gets no reminders? and is free?

07:59:10decayedcellHe could have at least said something exciting, like you guys bricked my iPod or something
07:59:36MonkeyTamerhahaha
07:59:52MonkeyTamerit takes a REAL effort the brick an iPod
08:00
08:00:27 Part t0dk0n
08:00:48MonkeyTamerwhile the screen scratches fairly easily, the inside of the device is fairly solid
08:01:18Mouser_XDrop it in cement.
08:01:24Mouser_XThere's one way to brick it.
08:01:27Mouser_X:P
08:01:44Mouser_X(A cube of cement, I should add.)
08:02:05*MonkeyTamer wonders if anyone has actually tried that yet
08:02:08Mouser_X"Hey, I bricked my iPod. Now I have an iBrick...
08:02:09Mouser_X"
08:02:15decayedcellWell I read up on some website where they ran a car over a Nano and it was still working
08:02:23Mouser_XWow...
08:02:29MonkeyTamerthat's surprising
08:02:39decayedcellYeah they're quite well built
08:02:52Mouser_XSounds almost like a Nintendo product...
08:02:53MonkeyTamerit sucks if you *want* to destroy it
08:03:08decayedcellhaha well theres always C4 MonkeyTamer
08:03:16Mouser_Xlol
08:03:17MonkeyTamerlol
08:04:43MonkeyTamerwith a nintendo product, everything was fixed by blowing the dust out of them; definitely an uncommon occurrance these days
08:05:03decayedcellhaha true that. Good old days of cartridges
08:05:14Mouser_XWell, I've seen a Gameboy that survived a bomb attack.
08:05:36Mouser_X(It was in Iraq during Desert Storm, as I recall. I'm not 100% sure on that.)
08:05:37MonkeyTamerI suppose that thick plastic was designed for something
08:05:51Mouser_XIt was burned, black, and bubbly.
08:06:01Mouser_XThe keys were fused to the casing. Even so, it still ran.
08:06:12Mouser_XThe guy ran Tetris on it.
08:06:15MonkeyTamerthe developers probably designed it for soldiers, l ike M&Ms
08:06:23Mouser_XHeh.
08:06:35ShaidYou guys bricked my iPod!
08:06:40Mouser_X:P
08:06:48ShaidIt's now going in the iToilet!
08:06:49MonkeyTamerdid you read the manual?
08:06:53MonkeyTamerhaha
08:06:55ShaidiFuck you iAll!
08:07:02MonkeyTamersection 2.2.2.
08:07:05ShaidActually, rockbox let me use my ibrick again.
08:07:10ShaidI broke the screen
08:07:24Shaidcouldn't see anything in OF due to it being really really light
08:07:39Shaidrockbox let me boost contrast really high so I could read bits and pieces AND navigate by the spoken menus.
08:07:54MonkeyTamerthat's useful
08:08:10Mouser_XAccording to Nintendo's warranty, they were not obligated to replace it (it was still under warranty, so they tried to use it. However, it did still run). But, Nintendo was nice, and replaced it, considering the uniqueness of the circumstances.
08:08:10Shaidand then I got an 80gig 5.5 for christmas, and I'm looking forward to using rockbox in colour and seeing it, actually. :D
08:08:12decayedcellgood so Shaid, if you ever find your iPod in a bomb attack, it should still be able to read out the menus
08:08:22Mouser_XI think it's in a museum or something somewhere.
08:08:51ShaidM&Ms were designed for soldiers?
08:08:56Mouser_XYes.

08:13:05Mouser_XIn regards to the burned GB:
08:13:08Mouser_X"This "news" is older than the internet itself."
08:13:13MonkeyTamerlol
08:13:15Mouser_XThis is true, as I recall it.
08:13:27Mouser_XIt was featured in a Nintendo Power (we used to get those, years and years ago).
08:13:27MonkeyTamersounds so
08:14:30MonkeyTamerI remember those; that's when learning about new games was exciting
08:14:38Shaidhaha
08:14:40MonkeyTamernow it's just going to gamespot or IGN
08:15:25MonkeyTamerbut now, we get to wait in excited anticipation of new 'c'-based games
08:15:33MonkeyTamerlike chopper
08:15:43Mouser_XHeh.
08:15:56Mouser_XI know some people who really want Sabatoge on Rockbox.
08:16:09Mouser_X(I think that's how it's spelled.)
08:16:18MonkeyTamerwhat is it?
08:16:34MonkeyTameroh
08:16:37decayedcellthey want to haxor other iPods using a virtual wireless connection
08:16:48decayedcelloh Sabatoge the game
08:16:50MonkeyTamerthat game's ok
08:17:15MonkeyTamermy favorite game is still bubbles for Rockbox personally
08:17:30Mouser_XI don't play games on my Gigabeat.
08:17:49Mouser_XMainly because I don't want to interupt my music playback.
08:17:55Mouser_XRockboy is the one that I find most useful.
08:18:08Mouser_X(And playing that would interupt my music.)
08:18:16MonkeyTamermakes sense
08:18:43decayedcellYeah bubbles is awesome
08:19:05MonkeyTamergameboy did have some great games, such as final fantasy legends and the original pokemon
08:19:21Mouser_XI like Zelda4: Link's Awakening.
08:19:24decayedcellgotta catch em all
08:19:25MonkeyTamerI heard rockboy won't really run well on the iPod, so I don't even bother
08:19:34MonkeyTameroh yes!
08:19:36MonkeyTamerand stealing?
08:19:45Mouser_XWell, I've heard that if you disable sound, that's it's playable.
08:19:48decayedcellwell you could use iPL and iBoy
08:19:55Mouser_XI don't like being called a theif.
08:19:57decayedcellthat reportedly runs near full speed on iPod targets
08:19:59Mouser_XAs such, I never stole.
08:20:00MonkeyTamerlink's awakening was the best zelda game: you could steal
08:20:10decayedcellYeah the Zelda series is awesome
08:20:16Mouser_XMonkeyTamer: You can steal in Twilight Princess as well.
08:20:27Mouser_XIn one location, anyway.
08:20:27MonkeyTamerawesome; I was unaware
08:20:39MonkeyTamergotta love easter eggs
08:20:45BHSPitLappyIt's not an easter egg
08:20:51BHSPitLappyIt's a character choice
08:21:00Mouser_XAlso, bomb arrows were first implemented in LA.
08:21:01BHSPitLappyAt an obviously honor-code-based shop.
08:21:03Mouser_X:D
08:21:08BHSPitLappyMouser_X, I know. :)
08:21:16MonkeyTamerI suppose, but it's not like you have to steal for any reason
08:21:17Mouser_XI was telling MonkeyTamer.
08:21:34BHSPitLappyMonkeyTamer, it's quite profitable in LA...
08:21:43BHSPitLappyI mean, damn. I'm not waiting around to get myself a bow.
08:21:49MonkeyTamerlol, that is true
08:21:49BHSPitLappyI don't mind being called THIEF.
08:22:38MonkeyTamerit was especially useful for stealing that shovel
08:23:45Mouser_XI do ming being called theif.
08:23:48MonkeyTamerI think that review sites should have a "screwing around" factor, which makes games much more enjoyable imo
08:24:10Mouser_XI was rather upset when, accidently (I didn't understand how to pay), I stole in Twilight Princess.
08:24:20Mouser_X*I do mind being called a theif.
08:24:47MonkeyTamerbetter to steal in a game than in real life
08:25:07Mouser_XOkay, I guess that's true.
08:25:57MonkeyTamerthat's what's good about rockbox I personally think though; it allows you to not resort to finding *ways* of obtaining music
08:26:19Mouser_XHeh.
08:26:26MonkeyTameryou're given the freedom of virtually any codec you wish to use
08:26:44decayedcellMonkeyTamer more correctly, the freedom of choosing between
08:26:57Mouser_XI like ADX.
08:26:59decayedcellgah can't find list
08:27:07Mouser_XIt supports looping of music.
08:27:26MonkeyTamer"I like APE"
08:27:26Mouser_X(It's used in video games a lot, which is what most of my collection comes from.)
08:27:29MonkeyTamerjust kidding
08:27:47MonkeyTamerI haven't tried other formats other than FLAC, aac, and mp3 really
08:27:50*decayedcell checks Wikipedia, confirms
08:28:42MonkeyTamerI know many people like ogg in my dormm
08:28:44MonkeyTamer*dorm
08:28:51Mouser_XIf I had the right software, I'd convert a TON of my music to ADX, since I would like my files to loop, where possible.
08:29:29MonkeyTameryou could have a virtual soundtrack wherever you go
08:30:15Mouser_XOn that note (offtopic) anyone have any idea what I should look for, or where to look, to find a program that can compare a WAV file to itself? I'd want to do this, to find where in the file it would loop at.
08:30:53Mouser_X(Well, it relates to Rockbox through ADX. I wouldn't mind if all my music was ADX...)
08:32:33Mouser_XThat's what I thought. I figured it couldn't hurt to ask though.
08:32:49MonkeyTamerno idea tbh

09:10:15JdGordonmorning amiconn, http://rafb.net/p/cpA94u97.html should fix the LCD_PIXELFORMAT warnings, but im not 100% sure there wont be any accidental code because of it... doing a search for LCD_PIXELFORMAT in the coe shows no #ifdefs on it, but there is if pixelformat == horizontal_packing ... else ... so I didnt commit it
09:12:59amiconnLCD_PIXELFORMAT is only used when LCD_DEPTH > 1, and there's a limited set of pixel formats for each depth

09:16:07amiconnI'd say that's an actual bug -Wundef is supposed to find, nothing to suppress by 'just defining' it
09:17:53amiconnHmm, looks like I was slightly wrong
09:18:12amiconnThe code needs the pixel packing orientation also for mono, even though there is only one
09:18:40amiconnSo the correct solution would be to add the correct packing to the config-<target>.h files
09:19:19amiconnThe archoses are VERTICAL_PACKING of course
09:19:45amiconn(the bitmap ones)
09:23:51amiconnJdGordon: It looks like one of your fixes added unwanted code to many targets
09:24:49amiconnLook at the size table: your 02:04 commit added code to 14 targets

10:52:47JdGordonhmm.. on the ipod, play from the menus should goto wps? which would leave left as the only cancel button?
10:53:31LloreanJdGordon: Isn't Menu a cancel button in the iPod Menus?
10:53:45LloreanOr do you mean a "back" button?
10:53:51linuxstbIMO, I don't see a need to always make every button do something - that just leads to confusion when people press buttons randomly to try and work out what they do.
10:53:54JdGordoni mean a "up-one-llevel"
10:54:13LloreanJdGordon: Play never went up one level anyway
10:54:25linuxstbI like the suggestion of removing the cancel feature (at least on targets with few buttons), and make left always accept and go back.
10:54:27LloreanJdGordon: Menu and Left do "Up one level"
10:54:36JdGordonLlorean: sorry, your right, it was hold play
10:54:41linuxstbMENU should be the fast-exit from menus.
10:54:46linuxstb(when it's implemented...)
10:55:15LloreanJdGordon: Hold Play? I never noticed that. I'm going to go on a limb and bet nobody uses Hold Play to get out of the menus except when trying to shut down.
10:55:37JdGordonlinuxstb: yep, that should work in the root menu patch now
10:56:02JdGordonin svn, menuu would go up a level, but with the patch menu will go to root
10:56:25LloreanI'm okay with that, Left makes plenty of sense anyway
10:57:12linuxstbIt's up to you (you're working on it), but I would prefer to see the root menu patch first committed with just the core functionality, and then we can see what the spare buttons can do, if anything, afterwards.

10:59:18BagderI agree
10:59:28Bagderdoing it step by step is a lot wiser
10:59:35amiconnlinuxstb: Even with few buttons, making Left accept doesn't mean to remove the cancel feature

10:59:55PaulJamJdGordon: concerning your menu rework, could you check if the language strings in the "ID3 Tag Priority" setting are interchanged? if i select "V2 then V1" it actually prefers the ID3v1 tag on my h320. but i am too lazy to check with a svn build myself.
11:00
11:00:21JdGordonthat last sentence should have been left off...
11:00:40linuxstbamiconn: I'm just a little against the idea of making every button do something in every screen - it leads to inconsistent button mappings. But if we can cancel consistently, then so much the better.
11:00:41LloreanYes "I don't know if a bug exists in my code or yours, so you should check first."
11:01:10amiconnlinuxstb: On Ondio, Right and Left were accept, and Off was cancel
11:01:32amiconnActions redefined the meaning of Left to be cancel as well, which doesn't make sense

11:11:30Lloreanpintree: You said that you suspected what the problem was, but you didn't mention the charger being connected when trying to shut down, which if you _suspected_ that was the problem seems logical as something to mention.
11:12:04PaulJamLlorean: i meant the status bar overlapping the text in the runtime screen (i think tat was what you were referring to).

11:14:30linuxstbJdGordon: Your root_menu patch is giving warnings and errors - due to the -Wundef I think. It's using #ifdef CONFIG_TUNER...

11:16:32JdGordonI think im going to not allow the database browser to resume... its causing problems, hopefully Slasheri can fix that later :)
11:16:48LloreanResume as in 'resume playback'?
11:16:52*linuxstb wishes there was a standard for the orientation of USB sockets - 50% of my sockets are one way, 50% the other...
11:16:55LloreanOr resume location in the tree?
11:16:56tickThe recent commits bring me to the question: how are on/off config settings defined? And how should they be tested with #if. #ifdef XXX or #if XXX? I've seen different style in rockbox.
11:17:04JdGordonLlorean: the 2nd
11:17:12LloreanAh, yeah, that does seem unreliable at best.
11:17:29Lloreanlinuxstb: I'd have to say mine is closer to 3/4 one way, 1/4 the other, but a standard would be nice. Most of mine are USB logo up.
11:17:33linuxstbtick: IIUC, CONFIG_* should be tested with #if, HAVE_* should be tested with #ifdef.
11:17:53*Llorean wonders if the location of the logo on the cable is standard, or if he just has remarkably consistent cables.
11:18:06SlasheriJdGordon: hmm, probably :) in fact, i wouldn't mind if you rewrote the database browser handling in the tree* code
11:18:08amiconnLlorean: The cable marking is standard afaik
11:18:14linuxstbOr I'm just unlucky, and I always try the wrong way first...
11:18:14LloreanGood to know.
11:18:22Slasherithat handling was based on the previous database and has had many issues
11:18:58ticklinuxstb: that's unlogical IMHO. I'd rather do it all with #if, not #ifdef. That way you make sure that you define all settings for all platforms explicitly and not forget anything
11:19:37ticklinuxstb: and the developers have one clear rule
11:19:40BagderI think linuxstb is right
11:19:41linuxstbtick: It's not illogical. CONFIG_* are for features with different implementations - e.g. CONFIG_TUNER specifies the type of tuner, or is 0 if the hardware doesn't have a tuner.
11:19:53JdGordonSlasheri: I think if set_current_file() was implemented for the DB it would be ok, but I dunno... for now its ok to just start it in /
11:19:54pintreehmm interesting what u guys r writing−−understand very little but i get the picture−−anyhow you're all obviously busy so i'm gonna go
11:19:58pintreethnx for the help
11:20:12JdGordondoes the db use paths like the file browser? or completly differenet?
11:20:25 Quit pintree ("Leaving")
11:20:53linuxstbtick: So what would you suggest as an alternative?
11:20:54SlasheriJdGordon: database would need to know the full selected path in order to able resume
11:21:48ticklinuxstb: I'd like to deal the same way with all of them, i.e. #if, and not #ifdef
11:21:52JdGordonIt doesnt keep track of its "location" ? i.e /artist/album = a/ etc?
11:21:55SlasheriJdGordon: it uses no paths
11:21:59JdGordonok
11:22:00Slasherinope
11:22:05JdGordonshame :p
11:22:15Bagdertick: it doesn't make sense to have to define every feature you do not have
11:22:15Slasherithat depends on the selection and user configured tagnavi menu system
11:22:49Slasheriso it needs to know at least the previously selected menu entry configuration and location
11:23:13*amiconn wonders why the recorder8mb build jumps +/-28 all the time, while the ordinary recorder doesn't do that
11:23:16 Quit kaaloo ("Leaving.")
11:23:22tickBagder: then you can explicitly state that you don't have that feature. And the compiler/preprocessor will tell you if you've forgotten to define the "state" of a feature for a platform
11:23:41Bagdertick: it grows painful to have to do that for all targets
11:23:43tick"state" = have / don't have
11:23:47amiconnJdGordon: Check the Ondio columns :)
11:24:26*Bagder runs off
11:24:31JdGordonnice n clean :)
11:24:36tick Bagder: maybe. But we can have a list of all features and define every single one of them for each platfrom. A feature matrix so to say
11:25:39Juice^if you set a backdrop to a bmp which is pure black, and the font is black too.. is there a easy way to revert the backdrop back to one that makes the font readable? perhaps a button combination that resets the backdrop to default or none
11:25:52tickThere can surely exist dependent features. E.g. if you set e.g. HAVE_TUNER to 0 then you don'd gave to define TUNER_TYPE (just an example from my mind)
11:26:21nlsJuice^: you can reset settings, but you need to tell us which target you're on
11:26:36Juice^nls: sansa
11:26:54amiconntick: There is no HAVE_TUNER
11:27:03amiconn...only CONFIG_TUNER
11:27:13amiconn...which is (now) set to 0 if there is no tuner
11:27:22tickamiconn: that was just an fictious example.
11:27:32amiconn...and you picked a special one, as CONFIG_TUNER is even a bitmask
11:27:50JdGordondo any targets have both tuners?
11:28:08nlsJuice^: hmm, tricky, that is quite new, so I do not know if reset settings on a button cmobination is implemented, try asking dan_a or barrywardell, when thwy are here, or if you can acess the device from your computer, just delete ./rockbox/config.cfg
11:28:13amiconnJdGordon: The Ondio FM exists in several hardware versions, detected at runtime
11:28:21JdGordonah ok

11:29:39Juice^nls: allright thanks, yes im aware of how to reset it when connected to a computer..thought it would be very handy to have such an function to reset with a key-combo when a computer is far far away :]
11:29:46JdGordontick: yeah, but we are lasy, and doing that for every target now would be painful
11:30:24tickJdGordon: I know :-) But doing so would avoid spelling problems IMHO
11:30:26JdGordonyour idea would mean updating 22 different config files, adding heaps of lines of code
11:30:55tickJdGordon: why adding? Not changing?
11:31:51JdGordonbecause atm if a target doesnt have something, its left out of the config.. explicitly stating it doesnt have it would add lines
11:31:54tickJdGordon: you'd just write #if XXX (or #if XXX=yyy) instead of #ifdef XXX
11:32:28Lloreantick: And every time a new thing is added, you'd have to add a #define to every single config file stating that hardware explicitly doesn't have it.
11:32:31tickJdGordon: aha, ok. But in the real code the above statement still holds, no?
11:32:42LloreanRather than simply having the whole system automatically know it doesn't have it because that config doesn't say "Hey, I have this"
11:32:50JdGordonisnt that what we have started doing?
11:33:04tickLlorean: yes, that's true. But that's good IMHO.
11:33:51tickYou consciously describe your platform and don't leave it to the chance of the right default.
11:34:03Lloreantick: As the list changes that could mean dozens of additional lines in each config file when a new one is created, plus dozens or more of files that need updated with every added target.
11:34:11LloreanWhat default?
11:34:16LloreanIf you leave off a piece of hardware, it's not there.
11:34:57tickLlorean
11:35:04linuxstbtick: It's not by chance - for example, you #define HAVE_RECORDING for devices that can record. If it can't record, you don't define it.
11:35:26 Join pixelma [0] (i=54bd6f54@rockbox/staff/pixelma)
11:35:49linuxstbBut most features are now defined how (I think) you want them to be - with CONFIG_XXX which is always defined, and is 0 if the device doesn't support it.
11:36:28tickLlorean: we could define all of them to the value meaning "don't have" and then redefine some of them in the config files. But in the code you'd always have #if and not #ifdef. One style for all.
11:36:52JuddyAnyone know what the most compatable mp3 player for rockbox is? I just wonder cos the gigabeat seems to have a decent battery life with rockbox yet ipod has a relatively bad one.. what other mp3 players work good with rockbox?
11:37:10tickNow, if you use #if where you'd have used #ifdef or vice versa you'll have an obscure bug.
11:37:17linuxstbJuddy: Basically anything that doesn't have a portalplayer processor (ipods, iriver H10 and Sansa).
11:37:26LloreanJuddy: Basically, anything not PortalPlayer based.
11:37:36Juddywould the gigabeat have the highest gain from rockbox?
11:37:52LloreanProbably the H120 benefits most from the Rockbox featureset.
11:37:54linuxstbIt has a pretty bad original firmware by all accounts, so in that respect, yes.
11:37:58Juddyah. so ipods H10 etc they are portal player based?
11:38:20ticklinuxstb: CONFIG_XXX is in the line with my proposal.

11:39:13Juddyoh
11:39:21Juddyand its shit?
11:39:25LloreanOne that's not documented, so our support for it is coming slow.
11:39:36LloreanNo, by all means it's a reasonable processor.
11:39:53Juddyah. what has better processor in general gigabeat or ipod?
11:40:01Llorean'Better' in what way?
11:40:14Juddygigabeat F vs ipod video in terms of processing power
11:40:16nlsThe gigabeat is muuuuch faster :-)
11:40:42JdGordonSlasheri: what path should i tell the db to always start in? setting tc.currdir to / doesnt seem to work
11:41:01 Part tick ("bye all")
11:41:52linuxstbJuddy: I wouldn't go as far as to say Rockbox is bad on the ipods, just not as good as other targets. The main issues are performance (if you want to play high-bitrate lossy files and use the software EQ, then you'll struggle), and battery life. Personally I'm happy with the battery life (I only ever listen for a couple of hours a day), and use FLAC which plays very efficiently.
11:41:56Juddyalso im thinking of upgrading from F40 gb to x60. How do the 2 players compare for rockbox use?
11:42:26SlasheriJdGordon: hmm, in fact db browser does not use tc.currdir at all, so no matter what you set it to
11:42:42Slasherijust tagtree_init() is needed prior to starting the browser
11:42:44nlsJuddy: they are supposed to be basically the same hardwarem but the X models are smaller and lacks buttonlight
11:42:49JdGordonah, nuts... ok
11:42:52Slasheriups, not that
11:43:10Juddynls: ah prob not worth while upgrade then
11:43:23Juddyi heard X has a bigger screen?
11:43:39Llorean.2 inches, yes.
11:43:42linuxstbJdGordon: Root menu looking good... Couple of comments - "Recording" in the settings menu still takes you to the "settings/screen" sub-menu. Also, have my suggestions of "Playlists" and "System" entries in the root menu been rejected?
11:43:42Juddybut i also noted battery life is worse cos screen is LCD
11:43:43Slasheritagtree_load is enough
11:43:45LloreanThat's 0.2 larger.
11:43:57nlsoh, yes that is correct, 2,2"->2,4" iirc but with the same resolution
11:44:15LloreanPersonally, I tend to like smaller screens at the same resolution.
11:44:27nlsdunno about worse vattery tho...
11:44:31Juddyah interesting. yeh i was wonderin bout that cos i noticed the mpegplayer wiki doesnt mention different resolution for X

11:44:42JdGordonlinuxstb: all noted... recording can stay for a while untill that menu gets converted properly... and no to both the other 2

11:50:44linuxstbJuddy: It's a very low priority for me (I've done most of the work on it so far, but am not working on it atm), but a couple of gigabeat owners have expressed an interest in working on it. I don't know what progress they've made though.
11:51:03Juddyawww
11:51:15Juddyi hope they do
11:52:03Juddyi know its not really in the spirit of open source? or maybe it is? but id make donations to rockbox so developers get paid and have more time to make rockbox awesome
11:52:22JdGordonthats very in the spirit
11:52:39JdGordonthere is a donate link on the front page...
11:52:52Juddyrockbox has prob saved me 400 dollars as it is( the cost to upgrade players) since i dont need to upgrade from f40 now cos i can do all the things i wanted from a new player
11:52:58LloreanYou can't really donate to a specific task though.
11:53:04linuxstbI think the "spirit" of open source, if any, is that money is irrelevant. But it's unlikely that anyone will give up their day job to work on Rockbox...

11:57:04Juddyhosting costs?
11:57:13linuxstbNo, hosting is donated/sponsored.
11:57:20LloreanVarious things. Hardware costs when something gets damaged during work, for example.

12:03:04LloreanJuddy: As it is, Rockbox's main focus is audio features. Video's just an 'extra'
12:03:09Juddy(just interested)
12:03:12linuxstbI am interested in it, but as Llorean said, there are other things I want to do first, not least of which is port Rockbox to the AV300...
12:03:38Juddymeh av 300 who cares about that :P
12:03:43LloreanHe does.
12:03:55Juddyit was a joke ;)
12:03:59Juddythat player any good?
12:04:03Juddywhats its specs?
12:04:12LloreanWe're also hoping he works out the problem in ipodpatcher so that dual boot on the grayscale ipods can be fixed. ;)
12:04:26linuxstbIt's old, but the reason I like it is that it takes 2.5" disks, meaning I can carry around 160GB of FLACs.
12:04:55Juddynice
12:05:15*Llorean would like a 2.5" SWCODEC target.
12:05:21LloreanOr even 'mostly SWCODEC' as it is.
12:05:26linuxstbIt's also a relatively easy port, as the archopen project has source-code for drivers for all the hardware.
12:05:35 Join Rondom [0] (n=Rondom@p57A975A6.dip.t-dialin.net)
12:06:12linuxstbProblem is the CPU is relatively slow - a 54MHz arm7tdmi without a cache...
12:06:34linuxstbSo whilst I don't think FLAC will struggle, the lossy formats probably will.
12:06:39linuxstb(without using the DSP)
12:06:58Juddylossy formats are compressed ones such as mp3???
12:07:01linuxstbBut of course MP3 is done in hardware.
12:07:23linuxstbJuddy: Yes. The av300 has a hardware MP3 decoder, but other formats need to be decoded on the main CPU.
12:08:13Juddyi see
12:08:55Juddyquestion: why cant the codec for wma just be added to rockbox and then wa la' wma plays?
12:09:01Juddyits not that simple is it?
12:09:09LloreanThe codec kinda has to be converted first.
12:09:20Juddyis that being worked on?
12:09:20LloreanSo, I don't know what you mean by 'just be added'
12:09:30linuxstbcodecs need to be implemented specifically for Rockbox, like any other code.
12:09:37Juddyah. i didnt know it needs to be converted
12:09:44LloreanI believe the statement was "Getting WMA working requires someone with a clue, and the problem is people with a clue tend to know better than to use WMA"
12:10:06Juddyah yeh. its not actually a bad format tho is it?
12:10:13linuxstb"people with a clue don't use WMA" IIRC.
12:10:27LloreanJuddy: It's not really a good one.
12:10:50Juddyi mean personally i use mp3 cos its the easiest.. but wma is supposed to be comparable or better head to head?
12:11:34LloreanNot in most tests.
12:11:41Juddyah
12:11:59LloreanI believe WMAPRo was comparable to LAME MP3 and Ogg/Vorbis, but not standard.
12:12:07linuxstbI think everyone would like a WMA decoder in Rockbox (just so we match the list of features in the original firmwares we're trying to replace), but no-one likes it enough to work on it...
12:12:23LloreanYeah, I definitely think it should be there.
12:12:24linuxstb(as no-one actually uses it)
12:12:32JdGordonthere is a start in the tracker tho...
12:12:52Juddyyeah. i mean just for convenience it mite be worth while
12:13:03Juddyi only have a few albums in wma
12:13:10linuxstbThat's now very out of date wrt ffmpeg - if I was to work on it, I would start again with the current ffmpeg sources.
12:13:43MonkeyTamerLlorean: that one about "having a clue" cracked me up
12:14:01LloreanMonkeyTamer: I was just paraphrasing someone else. LinusN I believe.
12:14:11linuxstbIt would also be a nice thing to get WMA playing on ipods...
12:14:13Lloreanlinuxstb: WMA support would mean that on the H100 series at least, the last OF feature has been matched.
12:14:15MonkeyTamerthat's a great quote nonetheless
12:16:10Juddyso what is the best format out there
12:16:22Juddysay Head to Head 192kb/s encoding?
12:16:30Juddywhat would u guys/girls go for?
12:17:09LloreanJuddy: Everyone has different preferences depending on whether they care about space, or sound quality, or what ratio between those.
12:17:16LloreanYour best best is just to try different formats blind and see which you like.
12:17:49MonkeyTamerI know Big_Mac's recommendation would be APE :p
12:18:05JdGordonwhy oh why wasnt the eq settings all put in an array? it would make converting that menu soo much easier :'(
12:18:34Juddyllorean what would u choose then?
12:21:12LloreanJuddy: Depends on which player I'm putting it on. I use FLAC for a lot of stuff on my gigabeat just because outside of stuff that's precompressed by the artist, I don't have that much so I can fit all of it.
12:21:34LloreanOn the Nano I tend to use Vorbis at the highest Q I can and still fit all of what I'm putting on it.
12:21:50LloreanWhich is overkill, but since I have no reason _not_ to overkill, I may as well
12:22:13linuxstbJuddy: Musepack seems well-respected around that bitrate I think.
12:22:43Juddyand it plays fine in rockbox?
12:22:51linuxstbVery well afaik.
12:22:58nlsJuddy: The only good way to decide which format to use and which bitrate is to do your own tests, and choos what you liek the most and is supported in rockbox of course ,-)
12:23:01Juddygood battery?
12:23:17LloreanJuddy: Good enough for me, as I said, it depends on your needs. Test for yourself.
12:23:42LloreanMusepack is good quality vs decode speed though, I believe.

12:24:28LloreanJuddy: Then test which is the highest distinguishable by your ear.
12:24:32linuxstbThat's one reason I use FLAC - I'm too lazy to test....
12:24:33LloreanNone of us can tell you THAT one for sure.
12:24:45Juddytrue
12:25:12Juddyill have to find some test files somewhere maybe. anyone know of a site with lots of samples in different bit rates and encoding?
12:25:26safetydanJdGordon, does the config system support arrays?
12:25:42JdGordonit shuold be able to

12:27:06safetydanJdGordon, well when I wrote that I didn't see any examples of array settings. The settings struct is sort of treated as an away by the dsp code though.

12:35:09*linuxstb has an idea for the root menu - context-menus on each item. e.g. a long-press on SELECT/NAVI on "Database" would take you to the database settings, long-press on Recording takes you to the recording settings etc.
12:35:21LloreanOooh
12:35:24LloreanI like that.
12:35:49LloreanShortcuts to some of the slightly deeper menus, that and it fits the 'context menu' scheme.
12:36:23JdGordonlinuxstb: hmm.... it should be sort of easy to do... but a pain.. and can wait untill after the initial commit :)
12:36:32linuxstbYes, please don't try to do it now...
12:37:19JdGordonWell, I want to add in custom menus, so contexts could be handled through that, so we barely have to add extra code..
12:37:34barrywardellJdGordon: Do I just need to decide on ACTION_MENU_WPS when fixing my keymaps for your patch?
12:37:36linuxstbWhat do you mean by "custom" ? user-configurable?
12:37:59JdGordonbarrywardell: yes, in the main_menu context
12:38:15JdGordonlinuxstb: yeah, user configurable shortcuts to any accessable menu item

12:45:57*JdGordon does a slightly nicer way of changing the wps text
12:47:31linuxstbWhat wps text?
12:48:08JdGordonthe wps item in the root menu I mean
12:48:23JdGordonI need to add a proper way to do this anyway for the eq menus...
12:48:44linuxstbIf the general view is that LEFT shouldn't cancel in settings, then PLAY gets my vote for cancel on the ipods. Leave MENU as the global shortcut back to the root menu.
12:49:13*Llorean will accept that happily.
12:49:18ShaidI think using play as a cancel is a bit... odd.
12:49:21Shaidbut that's just my opinion.
12:49:29linuxstbI agree, but it's the only button left...
12:49:38linuxstbAlso, CANCEL is a rare action.
12:49:47linuxstb(in the settings screens)
12:50:11JdGordonok, that sounds good
12:51:35LloreanYou should never *need* to cancel anyway. At best it's just if you don't want to scroll back to the prior option.
12:51:47LloreanBut when you hit Menu, it should *cancel* as well as banishing the menu, I think
12:51:56ShaidI agree.
12:52:11PaulJamLittle question: is the main menu title a language string? i can't find it in the english.lang
12:52:24 Join funky [0] (n=repulse@unaffiliated/funky)
12:53:22linuxstbLlorean: I'm now not convinced about my suggestion... Maybe MENU should be cancel, meaning you have to leave the settings screen first, and then press MENU to go back to the root menu...
12:53:49linuxstbIt means the MENU button does two different things, but for one of them you get a splash, so you know what's happened.
12:53:51Lloreanlinuxstb: I did suggest that a while ago, but nobody said anything in response to it. I'm definitely in favour of that, but was willing to settle for Play
12:54:04ShaidI like that idea.
12:54:16linuxstbOK, looks like I outvoted myself.
12:54:19Shaidit makes sense from a usability standpoin
12:54:31Shaidwhereas play as cancel doesn't 'flow' usability wise
12:54:42LloreanWell, Menu as Cancel makes almost as little sense really.
12:54:59LloreanBut since the Apple firmware already did it, and our previous implementation already did it, it begins to make more sense as already being habit.
12:55:00linuxstbYes, but it's also "back" in the apple firmware, so there's a little continuity there.
12:55:19ShaidI always think of it as the back button anyway
12:55:36linuxstbI wonder why Apple didn't just call it BACK...
12:55:53linuxstbAlthough I'm glad they didn't.

12:58:31barrywardellOK, because on the H10 it currently does two things. Going to Files from the root menu, then pressing left brings you back to the root menu

13:00:45barrywardellno
13:00:57barrywardellwe have rew, ffwd, play, up, down, left, right and power

13:07:34barrywardellanyway, I think left from the file browser root should always bring me to the root menu. regardless of which screen I entered the file browser from
13:08:03barrywardellI think that would make sense for all targets
13:08:21JdGordonthats what is supposed to happen

15:08:21LloreanAh
15:08:29LloreanJust lock the thread and let it sink away.
15:08:41SoapSo I finished what I started, but only because I'm compulsive that way.
15:09:10LloreanPost to the thread with a post saying "Static information goes in the wiki, such as here" with a link to your document, and lock it, I suppose.
15:09:19SoapThe problem I see with the wiki page is that it implies the document is more official and legitimate.
15:10:11SoapI don't understand at all why it encourages a reformat to fix problems. I guess the issue I have is I don't understand /what/ problems it is supposed to fix.
15:10:17LloreanAh
15:10:28LloreanMaybe ask in the thread?
15:11:03SoapAnd it encourages the purchace of a wall charger if you /might/ have a dead battery, as if USB charging isn't equally valid.
15:11:26SoapYea, I think maybe asking him head-on is the right way.
15:12:16LloreanJust point out the bits you don't see the purpose of, and ask for specific situations where those become necessary? It does look a bit overcomplicated.
15:13:05linuxstbamiconn: I've been looking at chopper a little, and if you comment out the calls to xlcd_draw_triangle, then it doesn't crash...
15:13:19LloreanBack when I was doing early bootloader experiments, where I'd occasionally typo the DD (or the many times I screwed up the formatting while trying to resize partitions to try out iPL support) the most I ever needed to do was use windows format to reformat the ipod before restoring.

18:15:45SoapWith a September 9th Rockbox build runtime was 50.5% of stock firmware.
18:16:05linuxstbdrum roll......
18:16:23SoapWith a Feb 4th, 2007 build, runtime was 52% of stock firmware
18:16:47linuxstbSo within the margin of error I would guess?
18:16:54linuxstbi.e. no change.
18:17:02Soaplittle
18:17:16SoapI think the numbers are significant as every test was repeated multiple times.
18:17:22linuxstbWhich format(s)?
18:17:46SoapMP3 - I made the conditions as consistant between firmwares as possible.
18:18:17Soap55% of stock when using the KoCOP and 64MB buffer.
18:18:31 Quit robin0800 (Read error: 54 (Connection reset by peer))
18:18:54Soapand conditions, down to charging pratices, were 100% the same between builds.
18:19:31dan_aI suspect we may be able to improve things with the 64MB patch
18:20:06Soapas it stands now, very little improvement with 64MB buffer, and that is under conditions perfect for its usage.
18:20:53dan_aI suspect that only half of the memory is being cached - I'm going to check the patch and find out
18:21:13linuxstbThat's possible. IIRC, it just adjusts the remapping registers.
18:21:18SoapI fear use of it in real-world situations will only worsen battery life, for if you skip, add, or change playlists you will be wasting _more_ disk spinup.
18:21:45linuxstbThat's very true. People could always use the 32MB build...
18:22:19dan_aSearch on Flyspray seems to be broken in Konqueror - does anyone know the task number for the 64MB patch?
18:22:24linuxstbOr I guess it could be an option in some way. ...
18:22:28Soapmy tests were simply a repeated 80MB album, 100% efficient usage of buffer, and only marginal battery life improvement.
18:22:36Soap5472
18:22:42preglowi wonder what we're doign wrong...
18:22:54linuxstbThat's a big question...
18:23:40linuxstbSoap: How many times does the disk spin up during your tests? i.e. what was the runtime, and how long in minutes is your 80MB album?

18:24:36odb|fide1_hello. is there any plan to implement a video palyer function into rockbox ? i.e. for ipods ?
18:24:50linuxstbodb|fide1_: Apart from the one that's there?

18:25:04odb|fide1_oh, did i really missed that part ?
18:25:24odb|fide1_linuxstb: since which release ?
18:25:25Soap11h45 mins runtime. It was the disk spinup which killed it in the end.
18:25:28linuxstbodb|fide1_: It's not finished, but you can read about its progress here - http://www.rockbox.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/PluginMpegplayer
18:25:40linuxstbodb|fide1_: It's been included in Rockbox for about 5 months now...
18:25:55odb|fide1_ok, thank you very much, gonna test it
18:26:16Soap12 disk accesses it looks like.
18:27:29Soapyea, the math works out - 12 accesses, #13 killing the drive = 11h38 minutes, and I round to the 15 min mark.
18:27:30dan_aSoap: Can you try editing firmware/system.c and changeing the line "outl(0x3fc0, 0xf000f044);" to "outl(0x7f80, 0xf000f044);"? I think (guess) that that will tell the processor to cache all the SDRAM.
18:27:48odb|fide1_linuxstb: should it be listed inside plugins ?
18:28:17linuxstbodb|fide1_: No, it's a "viewer" - just select a .mpg file in the file browser to play it. The page I linked to says that.
18:28:31odb|fide1_yeah just seen this part, sorry
18:29:05Soapdan_a: can do - what do you want me to test?
18:29:57dan_aFirst of all, if it boots... and then if it seems to change performance at all
18:30:41Soapconfigure as a 32MB build or as a 64MB build?
18:31:03dan_aI think that none of the audio buffer from 32MB-64MB is being cached - which might make reading and writing slower. Configured as a 64MB build
18:31:10Soapcan do.

19:12:35tomalIt's FS #6670
19:12:39tomallinuxstb: 8kB
19:12:56linuxstbIs that unified code and data?
19:13:01tomalBut the difference is SRAM (external RAM) which is very slow on iFP
19:13:06tomallinuxstb: yes, unified
19:13:14linuxstbSame (in theory) as the PP cache then.

19:15:09tickHe-he. I think there's some rationale in the idea about the feature matrix (see today's discussion of #if vs. #ifdef). We could have a text/xml/OpenOffice/whatever file with a feature table. Lines would be features, columns would be platforms. From that file, we could automatically generate the config files for the platforms and also an HTML page for the wiki.
19:15:17***Saving seen data "./dancer.seen"
19:15:22tickWe'd then have the 'feature space' well documented. Each platform is a point in that space. If a new platform is adopted to rockbox, its 'coordinates' in the feature space must be defined. If the new platform has a feature that's currently not present, we'll extend the space dimension. All existing platfroms would then have to be defined wrt that new dimension.
19:15:30tickThat would probably make neccesary to split the config files into the automatically generated and manually edited ones.
19:15:48preglowooh, new dct32
19:17:15amiconnNico_P: We had a slider progress bar once. It was removed as it was deemed a useless option
19:17:53Nico_Pamiconn: ah. actually i kinda agree but it was asked for on the forums and i had nothing to do :)

19:20:51Nico_Plinuxstb: that would be great
19:20:52amiconntomal: I hope the removal of sectioned compilation helped a bit getting size down on iFP as well...
19:21:58midgeyi dont think the bitmap slider bar is a useless option. it may be a bit useless on non-color targets though
19:22:32amiconnbitmap progress bar != slider
19:22:34tomalamiconn: I got rid of it much earlier. See arm7tdmicc in tools/configure and the short option.
19:22:59Nico_Pmidgey: the slider is actually a moving bitmap
19:23:11midgeyyah, im aware
19:23:21midgeysimilar to the stock h300 firmware correct?
19:23:36SoapNico_P: can it move (progress) in the Y, or only in the X?
19:23:39Nico_Pyes
19:23:41amiconntomal: Hmm, how do you handle calls to iram then? Or don't you use any iram on iFP?
19:23:59Nico_PSoap: only in the X... it uses the %pb tag just like regular progressbars
19:25:58tomallinuxstb: On the player it still doesn't work in realtime, but there are less dropouts clearly. I have some profiling in my emulator, though. While decoding 5s of audio, dct32 uses now 36M cycles vs 23M earlier (this does not include memory wait states), number of SRAM accesses dropped from 7.5M in dct32 and synth_full to 2.5M.
19:26:07 Part tick ("talk back tomorrow. Please tell me your opinion about the feature matrix.")
19:26:19amiconntomal: Btw, what you mean are short vs. long calls (my question still holds regarding that); what I mean was -ffucntion-sections
19:26:37tomalamiconn: I map IRAM and SRAM close to each other.
19:27:10amiconnAh ok, nice feature of the iFP core then
19:27:18amiconnOn ipods this won't be possible

21:11:28Soapmore sluggish than it used to?
21:11:35Lloreanpreglow: Try turning on the EQ, dithering, and crossfeed, it'll get more sluggish.

21:14:27preglowhmm, but dsp is in the codec thread, yes
21:14:32LloreanThat's what I was told.
21:14:46dan_aThere seems to be something lockstepping the codec and audio threads
21:15:16dan_aOr there's some other problem...

21:15:28preglowtomal: i'm gonna give your patch a spin on ipod now
21:15:44tomaltomal: ok
21:15:53tomals/tomal/preglow/
21:16:14Soapdsp is in the codec thread? so does the audio thread do nothing more than feed the PCM data from buffer to the DAC?
21:16:51dan_aThings should get a bit better with the COP patch when I get a region of uncached SDRAM instead of using IRAM. (I think - although they might get worse)
21:17:24preglowdan_a: uncached sdram? how?
21:17:34preglowhave we figured out how to config the cache yet?
21:19:14dan_aNo, but the PP5XXX's are... erm... interesting in some of the things they do. Memory is aliased to various different locations, but the cache controller doesn't know that

21:20:29DunkelschubWinchester was looking for one
21:20:35dan_aSo if you read from 0x4000000, you are reading an uncached copy of 0x0
21:20:46perl|perlah
21:20:47Winchesterah thanks
21:20:47linuxstbdan_a: Have you tested that theory yet?
21:20:59dan_alinuxstb: I have. It worked :D
21:21:04linuxstb\o/
21:21:28perl|perlon aus ebay there're good chances to get gigabeat X
21:21:29dan_aNow I just need to explain to the linker what I'm trying to do, and all will be well
21:21:30preglowdan_a: yeah, i've noticed that aliasing is rampant on pps
21:21:47perl|perlX30 were around $180-200 US
21:21:50preglowso it just bypasses the cache?
21:22:22linuxstbdan_a: Persuading the linker of that tactic doesn't sound fun...
21:22:33dan_apreglow: It does
21:22:51dan_alinuxstb: Especially when this is my first real visit to linker script land
21:24:29preglowtomal: no visible difference that i can see
21:24:38preglow320 kbps still gives me around 50% boost
21:25:08preglowdan_a: but why should that boost anything?
21:25:17preglowiram sounds perfectly suited to what you're doing
21:25:53tomalpreglow: did you try moving the routine to IRAM? Is there that much space?
21:26:04preglowtomal: i'll tyr
21:26:06preglowtry too
21:27:43dan_apreglow: It's data which wasn't in IRAM to start with, so stealing some of the codec buffer (IIUC), so I thought having it in SDRAM should be more appropriate. When I don't understand things properly, I test to see what works best ;)
21:29:02preglowbtw, how's pre-4g support doing?
21:29:06preglowit doesn't seem to see much action
21:29:12 Quit anathema (Read error: 113 (No route to host))
21:30:14dan_aGetting the COP working seemed to be the easiest way to get a performance boost - so this is pre-4G support!
21:30:45preglowi'm more just wondering how it's doing right now
21:31:10preglowtomal: performance actually seems to have gotten worse...
21:31:23preglowwith iram, that is

21:32:26dan_aAt the moment, it's a bit flakey, but that seems to be because of frequency scaling. I might disable that. I also need to have a look at why being in the WPS hurts playback so much
21:32:47tomalpreglow: interesting. Anyway, seems that SDRAM on Ipod is fast enough so that size of dct32 doesn't matter much.
21:32:55tomalpreglow: thanks for testing
21:32:59preglowtomal: np
21:33:30preglowdan_a: because the screen is being updated all the time?
21:36:48dan_apreglow: Probably, but it happens even on static WPSs (I've tried just displaying the artist name.) Maybe we could put some kind of callback system in so the screen only gets updated when something has changed?
21:37:07preglowdan_a: currently the wps is updated all the time, afaik
21:37:27preglowbut that does sound weird

21:45:50psychoid1yea
21:45:52SoapWhat the_winch's numbers suggest is that turning off hardware might take rockbox on the ipod from ~50% runtime to ~85%
21:45:52psychoid1cos the other day
21:45:57psychoid1i updated my ipod

21:46:17SoapCan't speak as to that psychoid1.
21:46:59LloreanSoap: It does suggest that boosting isn't the primary cause. Double the CPU speed is ~34% more power drain.

21:54:11linuxstbWinchester: Back to your uClinux question, I would say it's because no-one cares... I would hope the world has moved on from the Linux-everywhere mentality...
21:54:12LloreanSoap: Unfortunately identifying which hardware isn't being run properly is probably going to be harder than on the H300.
21:54:43SoapI was only half-joking at the idea of flipping bits until something happens.
21:54:50LloreanWinchester: Frankly, would you rather have your MP3 player become a much better MP3 player, or a fairly bad game playing device that also doesn't really any gain any additional music options?
21:55:13Winchesternuh it was just a random question rather than complaining
21:55:27LloreanSoap: I wasn't talking about that. I was referring to the 'measuring temperatures' solution, since most likely the hardware of problem is on the PP chip, which I don't think we can identify by sight.
21:55:48Soapyea :(
21:56:01LloreanWinchester: I was basically using that as an answer to the question. Most of the people who _could_ port Linux are instead doing something better. ;)
21:56:03preglowbloody annoying
21:56:08Winchesterlol
21:56:16linuxstbDisassembly of the many PP502x original firmwares is probably the best approach...
21:56:18LloreanAs a note, Rockbox.org has an Alexa ranking of like, 28,000, which is actually rather high.
21:56:21Winchesterwell.... yeah that is more constructive....
21:56:22preglowonly things missing before i'd be willing to call the ipod port decent is fix power issue, usb support and more responsive gui
21:56:42LloreanAnd the power issue and USB support _may_ be the same thing.
21:56:48Soapassuming the_winch was performing the test well (power through the battery connector with battery removed, as opposed to power through dock port).
21:57:03hcsaha, a bugotron in the works
21:57:11hcs(ignore me, wiki viewer)
21:57:42linuxstbBut the 5g is always going to be a poor port due to the broadcom chip - people will expect Rockbox to play video like Apple's firmware...
21:57:50Soapboo hoo

21:58:27DogBoyI don't, I just use the apple os for that
21:58:48DogBoyactually I expect apple os to play musepack
21:58:53linuxstbDogBoy: Put another way, Rockbox can't replace the Apple firmware entirely until it can play videos as well as Apple's firmware...

22:05:51pearldiveraustralia was the last country to support them
22:05:56Winchesternuh, I am broke right now so that won't be happening any time soon
22:06:03pearldiverand still has plenty around
22:06:22SoapKoCOP#10 does feel _slightly_ more sluggish than #8, but that is completely subjective, no hard numbers.
22:08:05fasmaiepearldiver: Is the X that much better than the F?
22:08:07Soapcould be someing in the last 200 commits also, I haven't used #8 since SVN 12194.
22:08:10dan_aSoap: Thinking about it, I would guess that is because I made the codec thread yield again
22:08:44markunfasmaie: smaller, lighter, bigger screen
22:08:47pearldiverfasmaie not _that_ much, its mainly just the looks
22:08:59Soapdan_a: it is nothing like what #7 did. Nowhere close to that level of slug.
22:09:12markunbut from the runtime tests it looks likes it has a smaller battery too
22:09:14fasmaieOk, not that I can afford one
22:09:38fasmaieNo 20h runtimes, huh?
22:09:51markunmore like 14 I believe
22:09:55Winchesteryeah...... those damn overpriced things
22:10:00markunbut who knows, maybe the battery was old.
22:11:43Soapwe'll never know when people don't duplicate their tests in original firmware. ;)
22:12:30LloreanSoap: The menu icons do slow down the UI a bit.
22:12:39pearldiverLlorean i concur
22:12:43pearldiverthey do
22:12:52Winchesterhey, I asked this before.... but nobody replied... but is it possible to send/receive data with the USB host on the ipod yet?
22:12:59LloreanWinchester: No.
22:13:05Winchester=O
22:13:07Winchesterat all?
22:13:09linuxstbWinchester: Yes, you just need to write a lot of code to do it...
22:13:10LloreanRockbox on iPod has no native USB support at all.
22:13:16fasmaieIsn't there an option to turn the icons off?
22:13:50Winchesterso.... I take it as that isn't in the RB API and won't be any time soon?
22:14:07fasmaieYes, there is an appreciable acceleration with them off
22:14:29LloreanWinchester: Someone needs to code drivers for it.
22:14:43LloreanI really wish that the menu icons and the filetree icons weren't treated as the same thing, honestly.
22:16:04Winchesterok thanks.... and also... has anyone tried to make the ipod sort of 'sleep' like the original firmware does rather than turn it off completly and would there be a point to it?
22:16:05linuxstbLlorean: You mean in the "show icons" setting, or the fact they use the same icons?
22:16:11peturis there a wiki page on how logf builds work?
22:16:30Lloreanlinuxstb: The 'show icons' setting
22:16:49Winchestersince I assume starting it up every time drains more battery than if it just stayed half powered down
22:17:53linuxstbWinchester: A sleep mode would be nice, but I wouldn't say it's a priority compared to all the other missing ipod features.

22:48:35linuxstbYes.
22:49:58nlspreglow: looking at the start_resume() function in tree.c line 480~520 it seems an alarm triggered wakeup will resume regardless of the setting.
22:50:56preglownls: yeah, just hoping there's some bit toggled in the pcf that tells me why i woke up

23:38:03preglowdoesn't sound like something that would be too hard to implement either, but it'd probably require some pcb tracing
