#rockbox log for 2007-02-22

00:00:02SoapO112358: Who knows? Doubt it. It's a flash based player - odds are there isn't an iPod Nano inside. ;)
00:00:08preglowamiconn: sure, but that's just a matter of using the correct define, yes?
00:01:18O112358i can't get over my poor h300 :(
00:01:29O112358how can i make sure my next battery doesn't break?

00:01:49bluebrotheryou can't −− it's life
00:02:08O112358but there must be a reason why it broke so quickly..
00:02:19O112358i mean.. batteries aren't supposed to leak are they?
00:02:25scorchemanfacturing defect possibly
00:02:25Soapno
00:02:35Soapand definately not lithium batteries.
00:02:43Shaidwell...
00:02:48bluebrotherthey are also not supposed to explode, and some laptop vendors had problems with that recently ...
00:02:55Shaidlithion ion batteries are actually not the safest things in the world
00:03:01Shaida poorly made one will explode
00:03:07O112358i think my battery was in too tight.. (it was a replacement off ebay)
00:03:17Shaidsince the contents don’t like each other very much at all if they come in contact with each other. :)
00:03:22O112358it's wasn't ion.. it was poly..
00:03:27SoapMost likely a manufacturing defect as scorche said, I wouldn't buy from that place again, though all the no-name batteries probably come from only one or two factories, at least you can try to avoid getting a new battery from the same lot.
00:03:50O112358maybe get a more expensive one?
00:03:56bluebrotherit's always the same thing: the more complex technology gets the more problems arise to keep it controllable
00:04:10Soaplipoly is a subset of li ion.
00:04:20peturO112358: which batt did you buy? I'm expecting one I bought on ebay (li-poly)
00:05:05amiconnpreglow: Yes, correct
00:05:11*amiconn needed to check how that works
00:05:13Soapand if it leaked, it very well likely wasn't li poly, regardless of what bridge in New York they sold you.

00:05:39amiconnpreglow: This only applies to alac, flac and tremor, btw
00:05:47preglowyep
00:05:54preglowi'll see it when converting anyway
00:06:13O112358petur: can you link the one you're getting? it's probably the same..
00:06:52peturO112358: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=250085230175
00:07:34pixelmasomeone in the forums reported problems with a cheap replacement battery for his H300 too
00:07:41petur:(
00:08:00Shaidremember the old adage?
00:08:04ShaidYou get what you pay for.
00:08:44preglowamiconn: hmm, should software bass and treble be applied to voice codec too?
00:08:53preglowi guess "yes", but i really don't want to deal with that now :/
00:09:14O112358looks pretty similar..
00:09:20Soapthe problem with replacement Lithium batteries is that you can't easily tell the difference between products of varying quality levels. There are many cheap products sold at high prices to attract the "quality" buyers.
00:09:26O112358i might have to go for a more expensive one..
00:09:39O112358hmm.. :'(
00:09:48LinusNbah, -ffunction-sections makes it not load the IRQ handlers :-(
00:09:52Soapunless you buy from a namebrand with a warranty, you might as well buy the cheapest you can find.

00:38:51spasmy question is does rockbox support album art and any other kind of video playback on ipod vid?
00:39:03webguest01do you have to make a folder to save the pix you make in rockpaint
00:39:08webguest01spas i think so
00:39:18scorchevideo playback - yes
00:39:26 Join RogerBacon [0] (n=carl@bas3-sherbrooke40-1177840585.dsl.bell.ca)
00:39:27scorcheAA - only by an unofficial patch
00:40:08linuxstbwebguest01: I think rockpaint saves whereever you ask it to - it will bring up the keyboard where you enter the full path and filename.
00:40:58webguest01oh casue i was making a picture in english and clicked save and then i typed a name and i couldnt find/load it so i did somthin wroung
00:41:07preglowthe aa patch is _still_ not in a state where we might want to commit it?
00:41:38JdGordonafter rooot menu goes in and the browser code is a bit easier to work with, does anyone like the idea of using it as a file open/save as screen?
00:41:42linuxstbMost people object to AA until metadata-on-buffer is in.
00:43:07webguest01<linuxstb> so what would i type to save just to the root of my ipod?
00:44:13JdGordonwebguest01: /filename.bmp
00:44:23linuxstbwebguest01: I've never used Rockpaint, so I'm not sure how it works, but you would type something like "/mypicture.bmp" to save in the root. I'm not sure where it would go if you missed out the /
00:44:24 Part spas
00:44:35pixelmaJdGordon: I was actually wondering about the occurance of the selector-type/lcd-inverse-problem... that was something I mentioned a few times when testing your earlier patch :) (but obviously didn't test again now)

00:56:15webguest46Hi. today I want to buy a Sansa E250, but as I heard, it has very poor sound quality. Could the rockbox make much better sound quality than the original firmware? and all of rockbox powered devices has the same sound quality, or it depends mainly on the hardvare?
00:56:29webguest46w
00:56:37preglowwe wouldn't know since we don't yet support sound on it
00:56:48printfXh4webguest46, poor sound quality my ass.
00:56:50preglowthe sound quality is the same as far as we can make it
00:56:56preglowbut the hardware is the deciding factor
00:57:02printfXh4It's all about the headphones, webguest46.
00:57:27webguest46thank you.

01:13:30dan_aIt looks like switching to GCC 4.1.1 might save about 100 bytes on the Archoses.

01:14:08scorchemadmodder: which chip is it exactly?
01:14:51preglowdan_a: meagre in comparison with arm, then

01:15:31Mikachupreglow: ah, that's only happened to me once or twice though
01:15:37LloreanOh, wait, it was just the Nano bootloader that was all crazy with the old GCC, wasn't it?
01:15:53dan_apreglow: The player is compiled with -Os, I don't think ARM is. An ARM normal build works - I've not tested bootloader yet
01:16:27madmodderscorche: I will ask "bruce" and put the answer on the forum thread I started, that ok?
01:16:27linuxstbdan_a: Have you had a chance to look into why the 4g bootloader is failing to load retailos?
01:16:34scorcheyup
01:16:41scorchejust edit your last post please
01:16:48preglowMikachu: happened to me about 50% of the time, bloody annoying
01:16:57preglownow seems to be gone \o&
01:16:59pixelmadan_a: so that number was for the Archos Player or any other Archos device?

01:43:27Mikachuit'll make glibc ignore such errors, with usually worse consequences
01:43:33Nico_P_preglow: kubuntu edgy
01:43:41linuxstbdan_a: Adding "return (void*)DRAM_START;" at the very top of bootloader/ipod.c and see if that starts retailos. If it does, then slowly move it down the file and see which kernel init is breaking it.
01:43:50Nico_P_preglow: and you ?

01:52:51Mikachuyou killed kenny
01:52:55PloujI bought an ipod battery for my h320 iriver, and the battery cables apparently are backwards
01:53:00Mikachuoh, pretty close though
01:53:17preglowPlouj: resulting in...?
01:53:27Ploujmy iriver not working with the new battery
01:53:35preglownot surprising
01:53:44Mikachuis it working with your old battery?
01:53:45preglowi don't think they have too much protective circuitry for that

01:53:53preglowwow

01:53:56Ploujoh, after the fact
01:53:57PloujI dunno
01:54:03Mikachui fried a usb mouse and gamepad by just plugging them in to a reversed usb port, not fun

01:54:35Mikachupossibly on the data line, who knows

01:54:56Mikachuepox and asus make identical usb expansion cards that plugs in to the motherboard
01:54:56preglowi know you're backwards in sweden, but damn...

07:52:24amiconnJdGordon: The samsung tuner code is needed for the archos FM recorder, recorder V2, and Ondio FM. FMR and V2 always have the samsung, Ondio FM can have either samsung or philips so needs code for both
07:53:41JdGordonok
07:54:21JdGordonhaving to check for a fm tuner on some targets makes the recording menu code just a bit more sloppy than it could be
07:54:24amiconnAnd the radio_hardware_present() check is in theory only necessary on the recorder v2
07:54:43JdGordondoes that one have recording from fm?
07:55:00amiconnAll fm archoses can record from fm
07:55:05JdGordonok
07:55:25JdGordonI was afraid of that :p
07:55:44 Part toffe
07:55:49amiconnOfficially, the recorder v2 has no radio, but the first series were in fact fm recorders in disguise
07:56:05JdGordonoh, would it be ok to split the recording menu code into one file each for hwcodec and swcodec? do they share code there?
07:56:26amiconn...so the radio is there, and rockbox will give the owners of these a little extra that the archos firmware denies :)
07:57:00amiconnThat's the whole reasoning behind radio_hardware_present()
07:57:16JdGordon:) makes sense
07:57:27JdGordonmakes the code annoying.. but it does make sense :)
07:57:35amiconnWhy would you want to split the whole menu?
07:57:43amiconnMost items are identical for both
07:57:59JdGordonthey are? I got the impression hardly any was the same
07:59:00amiconnThen that changed recently...
07:59:05*amiconn would need to check
07:59:14amiconnI'm not recording much, so to say
07:59:59amiconnThe handling of radio recording is different in hwcodec and swcodec, that's one difference I don't like
08:00
08:00:48amiconnSwcodec has fm radio as a separate source selection, and for radio recording one needs to go to the recording screen,
08:01:17JdGordonoh.. If you get a chance, could you please fix up the archos keymaps for the root menu? or tell me the global menu and wps button to use? I really want to get it commited soon :p
08:01:18amiconnwhile hwcodec records from fm by just pushing the recording button (-sequence) in the fm screen
08:01:51JdGordonthat sounds logical... swcodec needs fixing then..
08:02:02*JdGordon hardly ever records, and never uses the radio
08:02:50amiconnI find the hwcodec method much more convenient, but it has one single drawback over the swcodec method: you cannot adjust recording gain, it's fixed
08:03:00 Quit nick89 ("Gotta Go")
08:03:24amiconnNot that the hardware wouldn't allow that, but there are no controls to do that in the fm screen
08:03:55 Quit Mouser_X (Read error: 110 (Connection timed out))
08:03:56JdGordonall thats needed then is a shortcut from fm <-> recording to fix that
08:04:09JdGordonor even a menu for it in fm
08:04:41amiconnThe recording options *can* be set from the fm screen on fm archoses
08:04:57amiconn..but the level is not an option.
08:05:06JdGordonso add the option...
08:05:58combrainshi all
08:06:02combrainsquick q
08:06:23JdGordonquicker z
08:06:25combrainsdoes the rb svn repo support proxies
08:06:33combrainshehe :) quick wit
08:07:06amiconnJdGordon: Just a setting wouldn't make sense. In order to set the optimum level you need a recording peakmeter
08:07:11JdGordonyou can download a bzip of the sources if the svn doesnt...
08:08:19combrainswell its just that I have a kinux box that I wanna make use of - the only way I can get it on the net is through proxy and the best way to get sources is SVN
08:08:54amiconnBtw, one advantage of the hwcodec way is also that if prerecording is enabled, you can always catch your favourite song from radio, because rockbox is ready for recording even in the fm screen
08:09:12combrainsfrom my research I *should* be able to get in using the squid proxy server but it was too damn hard to set up
08:10:03JdGordonamiconn: prerecording in the radio screen would be nuts.. 32mb ram to buffer the radio :)
08:10:22JdGordonwell... 27 while rb is actually running, but still plenty
08:10:41amiconn...but since the mas draws more power in recording mode, it's a thing I want to make optional for a long time... :/
08:10:49JdGordonsounds like a shortcut between the 2 screens would be the best way for it tho

08:19:42jhMikeSamiconn: I have somethings in mind which might ease that by separating the backend machinery from the display of data.
08:19:58amiconnJdGordon: Not much sense
08:20:28JdGordonit makes as much sense as the wps screen...
08:20:28amiconnFor playback, one can choose from a truckload of information that's nice to know but not essential
08:20:41JdGordonbut the fm screen is booring :p
08:20:48amiconnFor recording, there is less info, and what's there is mostly important
08:21:11amiconnFor fm there's also not much to display
08:21:42amiconnThe hwcodec fm screen is less boring than the swcodec one :P
08:22:28jhMikeSthere's too much functionality tied up with the graphical display and that makes adding all those things much harder if not infeasible
08:22:36JdGordonwhats it got that swcodec doesnt? (apart from less room)
08:22:57amiconnA peakmeter.
08:23:44amiconnAnd the reason we can do that is that the peakmeter doesn't require much on hwcodec, just polling the mas for the peak values
08:24:09amiconnOn swcodec we would effectively have to record all the time to calculate the peaks
08:24:09midkayspeaking of peak meters.. with swcodec targets, shouldn't we be able to do spectrum analyzers?
08:28:20jhMikeSok...no opinions on what I'm proposing? a bad idea? imho no, but I believe atm it's the best way to get all the flexibility that seems desired.

11:14:58Lhademmorokay...
11:15:10linuxstb_Lhademmor: It's free to install, and you can either dual boot or easily uninstall, so just try it.
11:15:28LinusNother than that, i think it's fairly stable on the nano, someone correct me if i'm wrong
11:15:36pixelmaJdGordon: tbh I'm not very motivated to test the root menu on my Ondio since I know it adds ~2500 bytes to binary size...

11:17:19LinusNLhademmor: we certainly hope so
11:18:07linuxstb_Lhademmor: On almost all other players (excluding ipods and the iriver H10, which has the same CPU), Rockbox has either equivalent or longer battery life than the original firmware.
11:18:51pixelmalinuxstb_: nice tactic ;)
11:19:03LhademmorCool. I'm all for free firmware, but I think the reason why my iPod went dead last time was because I unexpectedly dried up the battery too fast.... iPod does generally have a sucky battery
11:19:48LloreanLhademmor: And the iPod hardware doesn't seem to react well to a dead battery, though this is apparently true in the original firmware too.
11:19:50Lhademmorlinuxstb_: How big is the difference (Apple >< Rockbox)?
11:20:00LinusNLhademmor: huge
11:20:19JdGordonhuge is an understatement even
11:20:24linuxstb_Lhademmor: It depends on the ipod, but I think it's around 50% to 60% of Apple's firmware.
11:20:25LloreanOne could say 100% ;)
11:20:40*GodEater wonders what we're measuring
11:20:47LinusNbattery time
11:20:51JdGordonaccessories
11:21:16LloreanLhademmor: I get about 6-7 hours on my Nano with Rockbox, depending on how I use it.
11:21:26JdGordonpixelma: hmm your right.... root menu would make the ondio fm build red again (dunno what the size diference is.. but its big :( )
11:21:28LloreanApple advertises 12 I believe?
11:21:43JdGordonI got 9.5 with my nano running batt bench
11:22:19LloreanJdGordon: My Nano's a bit over a year old now, and has some higher bitrate files than it needs.
11:22:47LhademmorSince I'm a heavy user of iPod nano, I think I'll remain spectator until the battery 'leak' is plugged. I'll be watching closely
11:23:05linuxstb_Or buy another one - and double your battery life :)
11:23:27BagderLhademmor: don't hold your breath
11:23:29Lhademmor:P
11:23:30Mikachuaren't there replacement batteries with like 4 times as much energy?
11:23:38GodEaterLhademmor: I still recommend trying it out - there's no problem with dual booting on the nano
11:23:44ShaidI get 1.5hours on my 4g.
11:23:48Shaidyou’re all very lucky.
11:23:59LhademmorI'll miss the ogg-decoding tho...
11:24:02linuxstb_I get 5 or 6 hours playing FLAC on on my IPOD Color.
11:24:11LhademmorBut I've got dbpoweramp so I'll just convert everything
11:24:33ShaidThough I should try the new kernel_on_cop patch
11:24:39linuxstb_Shaid: How long does the Apple firmware run for on your 4g?
11:24:47Shaidno idea
11:24:52Shaidmy screen is so dead I can’t tell what I’m doing
11:25:07Shaidand since all my music is in rockbox dirs now...
11:25:11linuxstb_Then you can't compare Rockbox's battery life - it just sounds like you have an old battery.
11:25:37linuxstb_Rockbox's battery life is bad, but not that bad.
11:25:39ShaidI also had to disable frequency scaling.
11:25:43Shaidwhich lowers the life.
11:25:57Shaidand I’ve got to run the screen at max contrast.
11:26:01Shaidwhich probably doesn’t help either.
11:26:23Shaidthe only reason I can still use it is thanks to rockbox though :)
11:27:20pixelmaJdGordon: well... rombox is still broken on standard OndioFMs in svn - it only doesn't show red in the build table
11:28:59LinusNpixelma: do you have a good idea what we should do to support the archos targets in the future?
11:30:52LinusNwe need a plan, and a good one
11:31:00preglowjhMikeS: arbitrary clipping limits?
11:33:04jhMikeSpreglow: the DSP_SET_CLIP_MIN/MAX stuff.
11:33:21 Quit GodEater ("CGI:IRC (Ping timeout)")
11:34:34jhMikeSonly a couple codecs set that and always to a value based on the depth...doesn't make much sense to me. can clip after scaling more efficiently really.
11:35:06amiconnLinusN: Even with [IDC]Dragons's bootbox optimisations, rombox will break sooner or later
11:35:18jhMikeSpreglow: the exception being dither of course
11:35:19LinusNamiconn: yes, that's why we need a plan
11:35:20amiconnBut keeping code compact is always a good idea
11:35:32JdGordonwasnt the plan get rombox going again then fork and freeze the archos targets?

11:37:25LinusNsupporting the archos targets is increasingly getting harder
11:37:51amiconnI think we should try to get rombox going again (btw, there are still 2 targets where rombox is working), but forking would be a very bad idea
11:38:07LinusNa bad idea for archos, yes
11:38:25amiconnIt would be a bad idea in general, imho
11:38:27pixelmaLinusN: I don't have a plan and I cannot comment on coding but it would make me sad if work there would be stalled (anyone who's seen my Ondio knows)
11:38:57LinusNfor example, i want to have a nice themable gui
11:39:30*jhMikeS looks forward to implementing gradient fill and alpha blending ;)
11:39:31LinusNwhich will definitely increase the binary size
11:39:34luckzI still protest how I can listen to over 50% and further than 2 minutes, yet the .scrobbler.log declares it skipped. did anybody ever fix that?
11:40:00LinusNluckz: no, i don't think anyone has bother looking into it
11:40:21luckzwell, I could of course skip by turning the machine off, on again and then skipping. every time.

11:43:33preglowforking will be bad for archos, but if we're going to keep stressing archos binary size, we'll have feature freeze-like conditions where, sooner or later, people will stop coding
11:43:34*jhMikeS forgot pasal too many times to count
11:43:49preglowa direct result from most coders not using archoses
11:44:18Bagderwe can't continue to both develop Rockbox *AND* fit within very tight boundaries on archos in the long run
11:44:32preglowjhMikeS: i agree those options are pointless, yes, but we do need some way for codecs to tell dsp their real data resolution
11:44:50preglowjhMikeS: not that those options fill that spot, so they should be removed
11:45:33ShaidI’ll have a look at the audioscrobbler plugin tomorrow, luckz
11:45:39ShaidI need to refresh my C skills anyway. :D

11:49:54pixelmagot a 4GB MMC ;)
11:50:00preglowjhMikeS: those endian dependent lines below my fix in dsp.c yesterday, are they necessary? seems like you decide channel order based on endianness...
11:50:20luckzLinusN: generally when skipping and stuff should IMO be declared listened to for long enough. the first track never gets scrobbled (with autoresume), as it has been scrobbled on shutdown
11:50:36jhMikeSpreglow: it's so funny how coldfire does multiplies faster than the "simulated" division using shifts which have to be coerced to round -> 0 when the numerator is negative
11:51:29jhMikeSpreglow: I generally found it better to just load the 32 bits and manipulate that
11:51:56preglowjhMikeS: yes, but these values aren't written as 32 bits, they're written as 16 bits, which kind of voids the endian issue
11:52:00 Join lee-qid [0] (n=liqid@p549671D0.dip.t-dialin.net)
11:52:17preglowjhMikeS: meaning they're written the same order no matter what endian
11:52:56jhMikeSIt's which channel ends up in which half that's endian dependant. not the write.
11:53:11amiconnBagder: I disagree here
11:53:21BagderI know you do
11:53:24amiconnFirst, archoses aren't dead, they're still on sale on ebay
11:53:28Bagderwe repeat this discussion almost every day
11:53:42LinusNi don't think anyone has declared it dead
11:53:48amiconnSecond, the archoses aren't the only targets where space is tight, and they're not even the tightest ones
11:53:50preglowit doesn't really matter if they're dead or not
11:53:51Bagderthey're not dead
11:53:57preglownot many coders have them, that's what matters for me
11:54:08amiconnThink about the iFP: 1MB of ram, and swcodec...
11:54:10Bagdernot many users run recent code either
11:54:10pixelmapreglow: go get one ;)
11:54:18LinusNamiconn: and who works on the ifp?
11:54:20preglowhaha
11:54:25preglowi will if someone buys me one
11:54:36preglowi almost never use mp3 so they're pretty worthless in daily use for me
11:54:40amiconnThird, many new features just don't apply to archos, so they don't affect it
11:55:02LinusNamiconn: all gui features will apply
11:55:17jhMikeS??
11:55:26amiconnBut the archos still profit from general development, e.g. bugfixed in the fat code, gui rearrangements which make usage more consistent etc
11:55:43LinusNevery change we do to the ui will affect (or rather, be hampered by) the archos
11:55:54amiconnWhy hampered??
11:55:54jhMikeSpreglow: if you want it gone, can do. I'm trying to shave everything off I can.
11:56:09LinusNamiconn: the player, mostly
11:56:32amiconnKeeping code compact should be a general goal, if we do not want to end up with bloatware
11:56:33LinusNamiconn: for example, themable ui with loadable bitmaps for the status bar
11:56:59preglowjhMikeS: i still fail to see how channel order is endian dependent, so i'll need that one fed to me with a teaspoon, please :>
11:56:59amiconnAnd I don't see why the player should be a problem
11:57:24amiconnNo bitmap display -> no loadable bitmaps. That's it
11:58:25LinusNamiconn: that's true, but always having to cater for the player makes the ui coding a struggle
11:59:02jhMikeSpreglow: in memory it's always |LLLL|RRRR| ...but for little endian |LLLL| is in the least sig. 2 bytes, where in big endian, |LLLL| is in the most sig. 2 bytes.
11:59:06LinusNand the loadable bitmap status bar will increase the binary size again
11:59:06amiconnMaking the ui code a bit more modular should help here
11:59:40amiconnThe we should exclude mono targets from loadable bitmap ui. That also applies to the iFP...
11:59:45amiconn*Then

12:00:04 Join Domonoky [0] (n=Domonoky@p549ACFB3.dip.t-dialin.net)
12:00:32LinusNamiconn: ...meaning that we have to maintain two sets of ui code
12:00:33amiconnNot two sets...
12:00:51LinusNno, it will in fact be three
12:01:03LinusNplayer, mono targets, and the rest
12:01:11amiconnNah, I don't think so
12:01:27 Quit fejfighter ()
12:01:27amiconnWith a bit of modularity, just the 'loadable' part would differ
12:01:55preglowjhMikeS: eh, why? that would be true if the codecs wrote their data in 32 bit ints, but they don't, the ones that output 16 bit interleaved write with 16 bit writes, where the left word always comes first
12:02:02amiconnMost status bar components already are bitmaps
12:02:08preglowi certainly hope i'm right here, or i'm being increasingly daft today
12:03:03LinusNmore modularity would probably solve it, and this is what i am constantly talking about, it will require more and more work to keep the archos targets on the map
12:03:09amiconnpreglow: Yes, but iirc the interleaved data is read from memory as 32 bit words and then separated
12:03:14jhMikeSpreglow: The left channel is in byte 0,1 and right in 2,3. Bytes 0,1 being the least significant for le, and the most for be.
12:03:24preglowahaha
12:03:25preglowforget it
12:03:26preglowi got it now
12:03:33preglowit's all correct, of course :-)
12:03:35amiconnLinusN: ...and I keep saying that it's *not* only the archoses
12:03:54preglowmove along, nothing exciting here
12:03:58amiconn...and I don't think it will be hard
12:04:02LinusNdoes rockbox even work on the ifp?
12:04:11amiconnAccording to tomal it does
12:04:16preglowsomewhat, but with laggy codecs
12:04:17jhMikeSpreglow: thanks for fixing that bugaboo btw. that was awful I didn't catch it...downside of cutting and pasting I suppose :)
12:04:20amiconnNot all codecs working yet though
12:04:27LinusNi must admit that i haven't tried a daily build of it
12:04:50preglowyou've got an ifp?
12:05:11LinusNheck, i don't even see a daily build of the ifp
12:05:17LinusNpreglow: no
12:06:08GodEaterwouldn't that imply we have no users of iFP too ?
12:06:10LinusNi believe we have one person alone who runs rockbox on the ifp
12:06:19preglowi've only heard of that one, at least
12:06:28preglowso it does face the same problems as archos does, heh
12:06:31preglowcoder support
12:06:38LinusNabsolutely
12:07:41preglowjhMikeS: but okiedoke, how do you think moving dsp.c and eq.c to firmware sounds? :>
12:07:53preglowas in firmware/
12:08:55jhMikeSpreglow: for which part? all of it?
12:09:04linuxstb_Why do they need to be in firmware? I would have thought moving more code to apps/ would be a better idea - i.e. only keep very low-level stuff that's needed by both the bootloaders and Rockbox itself in firmware.
12:09:46jhMikeSI'd put dsp_cf.S in firmware in a heartbeat though and have dsp_target.h.
12:10:04jhMikeSor in target/ rather :)
12:10:36LinusNcpu specific stuff is nice to have in the target tree
12:10:44preglowlinuxstb_: one example is what i need to do now for software based tone controls, i have to hunt down every call of sound_set_volume and ifdef in a dsp_set_volume too
12:11:19preglowlinuxstb_: all because all the volume, bass and treble stuff are in sound.c, while dsp based approached have to live in dsp.c
12:11:36jhMikeSthe'll be more cf asm around now too as it just helps too much
12:11:37preglowi already have to hack around the set_sound() based settings approach
12:11:58pixelmaLinusN: from following the binary size table I had the impression that there is some code that can be improved. I'm thinking of the latest bookmarks.c commits by Lear - and the table seems to be a bit of motivation
12:12:03linuxstb_We couldn't move sound.c into apps/ ?
12:12:30preglowi guess we could, but it is low-level enough to justify its current spot, if you ask me
12:12:37LinusNpixelma: yes, but optimization will only get us so far
12:13:07LinusNwe will inevitably grow beyond the limit again
12:13:19LinusNit's only a matter of time
12:13:24jhMikeSpreglow: was dithering ever intended for the voice codec? if not, it probably shouldn't be in dsp_config even though it is now a write_samples stage which is WAY more efficient.
12:13:43LinusNand further size optimizations will likely end up in code that is far from KISS
12:13:57pixelmaI can imagine that it is more boring than coding a new feature and that there will be a limit somewhen
12:14:13preglowjhMikeS: i don't see why dithering should matter for the voice codec
12:14:33preglowjhMikeS: the noise floor is likely much higher than the precision would indicate for those heavily compressed clips anyway
12:15:14jhMikeSguess that should change then
12:15:14LinusNpixelma: size optimization may be boring per se, but having to reduce the functionality of the more capable targets because it won't fit on the smaller ones is even more boring
12:15:20jhMikeSwhere it is, that is
12:16:30LloreanLinusN, preglow: I own an iFP, but I've never used Rockbox on it. Usually just used it to record voice notes.

12:29:30Shaid‘ '
12:29:36Shaidthey’re slightly different

12:29:43timingokay

12:30:05Shaidyes.
12:30:08timingweird
12:30:12Shaidand no, water DOESN’T go backwards down the sink
12:30:15Bagderno, all "networks" have that "issue"
12:30:33Bagderif you're using charsets other than win1251 or whatever

12:31:29linuxstb_Isn't it a keyboard issue - generating a single quote character, instead of an apostrophe?
12:31:36Shaidprobably
12:31:38ShaidI use a mac keyboard.
12:31:42ShaidI’ll remap it.
12:32:04timingyeah to this one: '''''
12:33:16Shaidapparently I now need to reboot
12:33:33Shaidso I’ll uh, reboot some other time and try not to use an apostrophe until then
12:33:40Shaidexcept I just used one
12:33:41*Shaid sighs.
12:33:45pixelmaLinusN: yes I know - but would be neat to push that date as far away as possible (and for example it wouldn't hurt as much to add 2500 bytes to the binary after another - don't know where it's at - say 1000 bytes were saved)
12:34:13JdGordonI know this is far from KISS.. but how hard would it be (theoretically) to remove the drawing code from actual functionality, and then have the 3 mentioned gui "forks" (player, mono, colour).. (this asumes most of the bloat is in the gui itself)
12:34:18preglowpixelma: problem is pushing that date away as far as possible involved cutting corners on the other targets and boring coders alot
12:34:25preglowwe don't want either of those
12:34:32preglows/involved/involves/
12:34:50JdGordonamiconn: whats more important... bin size, or RAM usage?
12:34:50JdGordon... on the archos'
12:35:04LinusNboth :-P
12:35:11JdGordonpick one! :p
12:35:38pixelmapreglow: but I guess other targets would benefit from smaller code size too.
12:35:38linuxstb_With a large bin size, rombox doesn't work at all. With high RAM usage, it will consume more battery...
12:36:02preglowpixelma: benefit, yes, but not enough that most coders want to do that instead of adding features they want to use
12:36:14pixelmapreglow: meaning optimised not less features
12:36:57preglowi could always optimise if i needed it myself, but optimising for some great pie in the sky i'll never so, no, not so much
12:36:59preglowi'm in this for the fun, really

12:39:46JdGordonso much for that idea :p un-static consting the keymaps added to the bin size not subtract ...
12:40:46pixelmamaybe that didn't come out right. What I mean is something like playback.c (I know doesn't affect Archos) but everyone complains that it is a mess and hell to debug
12:40:53preglowjhMikeS: anything in particular you've found to be beneficient?
12:41:23preglowpixelma: it does affect archos if amiconn's plans of merging the engines ever materialise:>
12:41:57pixelmayes... but he also thought a complete rewrite would be easier...
12:42:06pixelmaor might be
12:42:06jhMikeSpreglow: the channel modes mono, custom and karaoke for cf. mono left and right and just memcpy calls, and stero doesn't even have a function
12:43:05JdGordona complete rewrite of playback? sounds like fun :p we need to rethink how we want to handle the main buffer. then tack playback onto that

12:46:43preglowthis is rather silly!
12:47:06JdGordonnot as silly as keeping the player port on the life support machine
12:48:11pixelmajust because you forget the check for charcell every time?
12:48:19JdGordonyes :'(
12:48:55jhMikeSJdGordon: hehe...you don't just "tack" anything onto things there atm. I've got ideas to change that though. The main buffer will pretty much be left as that afterwords and, if all works out, low latency mixboard style channels for handling everything from voice, beeps, crossfade and any other noise you want added.
12:49:12*preglow rubs hands
12:49:20JdGordonawesome.... what about MoB
12:49:20JdGordon?
12:49:27preglowand there better not be some "hands" person in here

12:53:28XavierGrstrange though I see Shaid's apostrophes perfectly fine
12:53:38XavierGrnot the normal ones but still it is an apostrophe
12:53:53Shaid:D
12:54:14Bagderyou probably use similar charsets then
12:54:24XavierGr(I would say that Shaid's apostrophes are more "normal" than the normal we use here)
12:54:29JdGordonits a ? here
12:54:42preglowlet's just reconcile with the fact that some of us can't see it
12:54:44Mikachuah, he's using some funky windows charset, it's 0x92, some control char
12:54:52preglowMikachu: it's a win1251 aposotropce
12:54:57preglowapostrophe...
12:55:57*JdGordon rolls up sleeves and prepares to get stuck into onplay.c
12:57:29Bagderit might exist in several 125X codepages
13:00
13:00:24jhMikeSnewts shed their skin all the time so flame painting would have to constantly be maintaned
13:00:25JdGordonwhy is the clipboard stuff in onplay.c?
13:01:45preglowjhMikeS: we'll just use that as an excuse to give it a new pattern whenever we grow tired of it
13:02:07preglowor better yet, we time our releases to when it sheds its skin, so we can name our release after the new pattern we give it
13:02:25Mikachuwhat releases?
13:02:29preglowRockbox "Checkerboards" 3.0
13:03:42jhMikeSshould work, but perhaps some genetic manipulation and it can be so permanently...and I'll add the glowing gene for the heck of it
13:04:34preglowbut ok, i'll just continue hacking around sound.c in the meantime
13:04:49preglowwould anyone else be interested in testing software based bass/treble controls?

13:32:17preglowfor which filter? both?

13:32:56jhMikeSmostly the treble though
13:33:26jhMikeSI think right smack in the vocal formants
13:33:33preglowyou could try adjusting the cutoff frequencies
13:33:39preglowsearch for filter_tone_coefs in dsp.c
13:33:42jhMikeScan do
13:33:46preglowjust don't deviate too drastically
13:33:55preglowthe fixed point format i use for the coefs might not handle it
13:34:34preglowthe frequencies are half-point, that is, they specify where the gain will be halved in decibels
13:34:36jhMikeSWhat are the cutoffs of the uda1380 or is this filter very diffent from that? Those do sound nice
13:34:47preglowif you specify a bass boost of 12 db, then the cutoff freq will have a boost of 6 db
13:34:56preglowi don't know what cutoffs they use
13:35:03preglowi don't even know if they're the same filter type

13:40:46jhMikeSI'm also wondering if maybe sound_set_volume shouldn't just call dsp_set_volume rather than putting calls everywhere next to it :\
13:41:08preglowjhMikeS: sound_set_volume can't call dsp_set_volume
13:41:11preglowit's in firmware
13:42:36jhMikeSugh...but powermgmt.c calls playback.c functions :) exceptions can be made I noticed where practical.
13:42:48Mikachuyou could send a callback function to it
13:43:06preglowyes, i could
13:43:21preglowbut it's quite rapidly turning into a code maze if i go that route
13:43:32jhMikeSwhy? just prototype it in sound.c and call it. dispense with all that it's just retarded imho
13:44:20jhMikeSI did it with the radio_status because audio_status is excepted
13:45:09preglowit sure is less retarded than bloody calling dsp_set_volume everywhere
13:45:43LinusNthe boundary between firmware/ and apps/ is not holy, but we would like to keep some kind of layering

14:05:43preglowdoes the newer ipods do lame gapless?
14:05:46LloreanAnd that silly 'gap cut' feature the H120 had.
14:06:05jhMikeSpreglow: probably literally that
14:06:20preglowjhMikeS: ahahaha
14:06:32Lloreanpreglow: I only know that they do it on AAC with a method similar to the LAME one, other than that I'm not sure. I haven't exactly researched it. :)
14:06:54preglowdo iaudios get good battery life these days?
14:06:55*jhMikeS read that AAC was found to be using the gapless tags
14:06:56preglowx5s, that is, with rockbox
14:07:06jhMikeSpreglow: they do
14:07:19LloreanI haven't seen someone do a proper comparison with the retail life, though.
14:09:08jhMikeSOnly one I know is an x5l that ran like 35h on a battery bench...the x5's battery management and display isn't tuned right at all though.
14:10:00Shaidpreglow: itunes can analyse the mp3s itself, and I think I read somewhere it also reads lame’s gapless tags
14:10:12Shaidbut it might actually only do that when itunes is doing its analyse thing
14:10:21Shaidmy 80g does gapless playback well enough, though.
14:10:25jhMikeSWas trying to fix that and couldn't seem to get a proper bench done on the x5 60GB...it needs different curves for the 2 battery types
14:10:39LloreanHalf the battery benches I see say stuff like "With a 5 second caption backlight, just using the EQ, crossfeed, and replaygain, I get 4 hours less battery life than the original firmware, what gives?"
14:10:56preglowhahahaha
14:13:42preglowwhat daps are still in retail sale and run on rockbox?
14:13:46preglowipods and sansas?
14:14:08jhMikeSI was more interested in the actual curve than battery life though ... but I did get over 9h with a shutoff at what seems to be too high a voltage. Don't know a hd spinup will take it from 3.65V to 3.50V where the pcf cuts it.
14:14:37Lloreanpreglow: I think that's it. And we don't support the E200R series of Sansas, I haven't seen any non-R ones in brick 'n mortar shops around here.

16:19:21bluebrotherunless you use the extension m3u, in which case the selected charset is used

16:20:39Nico_Pit's supposed to go in USB mode, isn't it ?

16:22:12swimaand now I wonder how I can convert all my utf-8 playlists to the format used by rockbox
16:22:30swimabluebrother: it's not about being able to read playlists *from* H340
16:22:40LinusNpondlife: the reset cookie should save you most of the time
16:22:50swimabluebrother: it's about converting playlists from linux (utf-8) to a format which H340 can read
16:22:54swimabluebrother: all entries of it
16:22:55pondlifeReset cookie?
16:23:08pondlifeI mean if my H300.hex is garbage...
16:23:11bluebrotherswima: if the playlist is utf8 you only need to give them the extension m3u8
16:23:25bluebrother(note the added "8" at the end)
16:23:48LinusNNico_P: the usb mode code wasn't changed by this patch
16:24:15Nico_Pi don't think the gigabeat has bootloader usb mode
16:24:17LinusNpondlife: well, the scrambling has checksums etc
16:24:23swimabluebrother: ok - let's see ...
16:24:23bluebrotheralternatively, you can set the "default codepage" setting to utf8
16:24:47pondlifeOK. here goes...

16:24:49bluebrotherRB will use that setting for files ending with m3u, and utf8 for files with m3u8 extension
16:25:07swimabluebrother: the default codepage is already utf-8
16:25:17linuxstb_bluebrother: What about saving? Is there an option to save as .m3u, or are playlists always .m3u8 now?

16:25:37bluebrotherafaik playlists get saved as utf8 with m3u8 extension
16:25:57Nico_Pwhat's strange is that it dod work at first

16:26:15linuxstb_[IDC]Dragon: Hi - how's bootbox coming along? ;)
16:26:15bluebrotherI'm not sure how saving is handled exactly, but I would expect to save at local encoding if the user provides the extension m3u himself

16:30:27bluebrotherrename to utf8?
16:30:35bluebrotheryou mean changing the file extension?
16:30:45swimabluebrother: yes of course - renaming to m3u8
16:30:46_FireFly_swima: the postfix is m3u8 for utf-8 playlists
16:31:17_FireFly_swima: sure that the playlist is utf-8?
16:31:29LinusNNico_P: how is it going?
16:31:54swima_FireFly_: vim says it is
16:32:05bluebrotherdoes file agree with vim?
16:32:05amiconnWill become less important when proper langv2 rework will be committed
16:32:06swima_FireFly_: but I'll doublecheck it to be sure
16:32:15Nico_PLinusN: i tried again with the patched bootloader and still got "rockbox.gigageat not found"
16:32:22bluebrothervim usually shows its setting, regardless of the file itself
16:32:23Nico_Pi'm trying the unpatched one back now
16:32:28LinusNgood
16:32:59pondlifeBootloader USB mode still doesn't work here with a self-build. I suppose that's useful...
16:33:40Nico_P"rockbox loaded"
16:34:00Nico_PLinusN: sorry but i was wrong: the patched bootloader fails to load rockbox.gigabeat
16:34:16LinusNNico_P: ok, and what does it write on the lcd?
16:35:11Nico_PLinusN: i'm pretty sure it was "Can't load rockbox.gigabeat:"
16:35:28swima_FireFly_: vim reports "fileencoding=latin1" and "encoding=utf-8"
16:35:43bluebrother... then the file is latin1
16:35:59[IDC]Dragonlinuxstb_: bootbox status is unchanged, almost half the size off, but I broke USB mode somehow
16:36:07bluebrothercopy it to the player, use m3u as extension and set the default codepage to latin1
16:36:28swimabut vim reports the same for a file which can be read by H340 flawless
16:36:45_FireFly_what does file report?
16:36:52[IDC]Dragonsince results are limited, my plan is different: rewrite a bootloader from scratch, with only the bare basics
16:37:02bluebrotherI don't can tell you the difference between the two files ...
16:37:04swimaValses.m3u: data
16:37:05swimaValses-langzaam.m3u8: ISO-8859 text, with CRLF line terminators
16:37:26swimathe first is the one created by H340
16:37:42swimathe other is created by my linux program and converted to dos ...
16:37:42bluebrothercan you post the files somewhere?
16:37:56_FireFly_swima: the second one is not utf-8
16:37:57bluebrotherthat "data" thing is strange
16:38:22LinusNNico_P: doesn't it say anything more that "Can't load rockbox.gigabeat"?
16:38:41linuxstb_swima: Why did you convert the .m3u8 to "dos", and how did you do it?
16:39:15_FireFly_linuxstb_: i guess he used the script/tool unix2dos
16:39:27LinusNi must say that the gigabeat loader is strange, it loads rockbox.gigabeat even when it says it's loading the original firmware

16:45:19swimabut Valses.m3u is the one created by H340 :)
16:45:27swimaand read correctly
16:46:26LinusNNico_P: no, it should work the same
16:46:44Nico_Poh
16:47:03LinusNNico_P: looks like the gigabeat loader didn't check the checksum before
16:47:43Nico_Pyes, at least it didn't use to display the checksum test
16:48:12swimacan it be related to the way I mount the player?

16:49:27Nico_PLinusN: other than that, same parameters ?
16:49:30LinusNyes
16:49:38swimabluebrother: I'm just wondering why file gives different output to the 2 files on the player and the website
16:49:44linuxstb_LinusN: Ah, so rockbox.gigabeat is just a copy of rockbox.bin, no -add header?
16:50:01LinusNlooks like it, can't see why
16:50:21linuxstb_tool="cp" (from configure)
16:50:52LinusNthe best part is the loading of the original firmware
16:51:09bluebrotherswima: that is indeed strange.

16:52:24_FireFly_which one is utf-8 and which one ISO-8859?
16:52:33bluebrotherreally strange. I just file'd a playlist created on my player, it shows up as utf8 as expected

16:54:00Nico_PLinusN: yes
16:54:04LinusNyes, we are adapting it to use the same code as the other loaders
16:54:16swimaon the player file gives me "ISO-8859 text" and in the filesystem "UTF-8 Unicode text"

18:13:29m0s-time to install this mofo
18:13:55bluebrotherwebguest93: if you have a wiki name ...
18:14:11merlin_m0s- for me, rockbox is a huge improvement simply because it can play directories of tunes, something the ipod firmware will just not do.
18:14:23 Nick swima is now known as swimmer (n=swimmer@komalaystefan.xs4all.nl)
18:14:25m0s-exactly
18:14:26webguest93I do, CarlSlomowitz
18:14:50m0s-so do I need to delete all my music b4 installation or I can use the ipod database in rockbox?
18:15:15bluebrotherwebguest93: done
18:15:29merlin_The battery life is clearly reduced, but if you have compilations of songs sorted in many directories, the ipod firmware just can't deal with that without making many many playlists in advance. rockbox does great with that (in addition to the many other cool featues and toys of course)
18:15:38bluebrotherm0s-: you can't use the itunesdb but you don't need to delete your music
18:15:44webguest93thanks, I'll throw my WPS up now
18:15:48bluebrotherread the manual, especially the database section
18:15:59merlin_m0s- I can play songs from my ipod db and the new ones I uploaded

18:16:23bluebrotherRockbox has its own database
18:16:35merlin_m0s-, but you need to convert your ipod db in the rockbox db format
18:17:02m0s-rockbox reduces battery life?
18:17:10merlin_m0s-: for now, yes
18:17:18bluebrothermerlin_: that is not correct. Rockbox has its own database, you don't convert the itunesdb
18:17:45bluebrother... which makes RB database independend of itunes
18:18:17merlin_bluebrother is correct, bad wording from me. you convert and import the IT database into rockbox
18:18:26merlin_they won't be in sync, but that's good enough for me
18:18:36m0s-what u mean they won't be in sync?
18:18:55merlin_if you upload more stuff with itunes, rockbox won't see it unless you import the IT DB again
18:19:05merlin_basically you shouldn't keep uploading stuff from both sides
18:19:16merlin_Just drop IT after you switch to RB

18:19:53m0s-so the battery issue is being addressed I'm sure?
18:20:09bluebrothermerlin_: still not correct. You _don't_ import the itunesdb
18:20:10merlin_m0s-, not sure, it's been like that for a while. It's apparently pretty hard, and platform dependent code

18:20:39bluebrotheryou need dircache enabled for that though.
18:20:56merlin_ah, even better. m0s- listen to bluebrother :)

18:22:12merlin_So does that make ConvertiTunesDBtoTagCache obsolete because it's built in RB?
18:22:33Soapno - unless it no longer works.
18:22:35*jhMikeS just knows he's gonna get merge conflicts if he doesn't hurry up :P
18:22:40m0s-but I wanna use flac
18:22:47SoapThat was always an alternative way of doing it for iTunes users.
18:22:52m0s-so I guess I'll use the RB way
18:23:03merlin_sounds like it's easier, yes :)
18:23:21Soapbut limited, as m0s's case illustrates.
18:24:10m0s-the reason I'm switching to RB is to listen to my flac files
18:25:06merlin_m0s- you'll get much more than that though. You'll see some of the cool features, not counting the plugins, and the cool games :)
18:25:49m0s-oh no doubt

18:34:29preglowthat is, at a later time, not today
18:36:49preglowjhMikeS: currently i think i'll be doing one callback set_prescaled_volume() can do to find the biggest gain in dsp.c, then another callback to tell dsp.c when it needs to change the prescale. can you think of anything more clever?
18:36:58merlin_bluebrother, do you know why resume playing on boot is not a rockbox default like in old versions anymore?
18:38:06LearBecause it's so easy to just press play?
18:38:49preglowbecause i don't always want it to?
18:39:03merlin_:) / I guess it's not the default behaviour that people are used to (or even me, coming from the archos firmware, ipod firmware, and an older rockbox that also did that by default)
18:39:05jhMikeSwell, we can set the volume for equal perceived loudness of the altered spectrum based on typical auditory sensitivity ;)
18:39:37merlin_but no worries, I was just wondering :)

18:42:28preglowjhMikeS: just int (*callback)(int msg, int param1), like that?
18:42:39bluebrothermerlin_: I don't know. Maybe that is a bug that got introduced with the new menu stuff
18:42:43toffepreglow : I had a problem with the equalizer a few days ago
18:42:45toffeI was trying to use the graphical equalizer, so I enable the equalizer, and went in the graphics equalizer , change the 3 middle frequency
18:42:47toffego back to listen music and after 3 to 4 mn the sound became distorded, decreasing to no sound, I disable the equalizer, I had a big plop and sound come back normal
18:42:52preglowyou pasted that, didn't you! :)
18:42:56bluebrotherbut it also might have been agreed on changing that behaviour
18:43:06toffeyes
18:43:07jhMikeSyeah...though I have an affection for intptr_t for the data since it's good for passing pointers too
18:43:24merlin_bluebrother, fair enough, no big worry, just a bit weird to the end user IMO
18:43:25preglowtoffe: well, nothing i can do about it unless you can reproduce it
18:43:32preglowtoffe: the error could have been just about anything
18:43:43toffeI could reproduce it several times
18:43:50preglowtoffe: well, i need to be able to do it too
18:44:04jhMikeSno casts are needed for signed or unsigned intergral types either since the cast to a larger size is the same for both

18:57:56merlin_pixelma, I still had to do this with yesterday's build. How else would the ipod know that I plugged into my laptop to sync the drive, or to just power the unit?
18:58:40pixelmaoh sorry - I misread. I thought you meant a wall charger

19:00:57merlin_if all my devices charged from USB, I'd be a happy man
19:01:36merlin_You either plug into a computer, have a AA to usb power box, or a 110/220V to USB power adapter, and you're set.
19:02:27merlin_but if they shipped the video cable, that'd be nice indeed.
19:02:44linuxstb_m0s-: After you initialise the database, you need to shutdown your ipod (long press on PLAY/PAUSE), and then turn it back on in order for the initialisation process to complete.
19:03:27Kasperlevideo cable would'Ve been awesome. and quite frankly, i like power adaptors for wall outlets
19:03:52Kasperleand apple could've made black cables to go along with the black hardware, imho

20:43:07bluebrotherRB has a couple of other advantages ... just read the "why rockbox" page

20:48:11m0s-if I converted my itunesdb can I than move files over using RB such as flac files
20:48:54m0s-because when I navigate through my ipod on RB it uses the same structure as my ipod db
20:48:55IntrospectorI use the windows explorer or free commander to drag & drop my music files
20:48:56SoapIntrospector: why do you say the iPod is average in sound quality?
20:49:20Introspectorbecause I listened many times to Ipod
20:49:20SoapOnce you deal with the sub-32 ohm impedance issue it RMAAs as good as the iAudio x5.
20:50:01Soapthere is no objective data to support an audible difference in sound quality, except for in two instances.
20:50:02Introspectorbut it must be good how its delivered
20:50:20Soap1 - iPod with low impedance loads 2 - iPod EQ put into clipping.
20:50:49Introspectorwhat is this issue? where can I read about it?
20:50:56Soapproper RMAA procedures test "how it is delivered"
20:51:14Introspectora friend of mine would be glad when this issue could be handled
20:51:39Soapthe low impedance issue is hardware. The EQ issue is software and can be cured by rockbox.
20:52:11IntrospectorOk, but how he deal the hardware issue?
20:52:16Introspectorcould
20:53:39miso91My iPod is still not working...

20:59:57 Join busa_blade [0] (n=butlerda@001-836-062.area1.spcsdns.net)
20:59:59Soapm0s-: You must move the music over via iTunes (or an itunes replacement) /before/ converting the databases.
21:00
21:00:00miso91My iPod has a blank screen, but my USB blah works.
21:00:43Soapmiso91: leave it plugged in, untouched, for at least another hour before trying this again. This is common dry battery behavior for Nanos
21:00:52miso91oh
21:01:26miso91I've been waiting for 2 hours though...
21:01:34m0s-Soap but moving forward I ahve to do that?
21:01:44m0s-I wanted to play flac files on my ipod
21:01:59Soapm0s-: if you are using the itunedDb to rockbox DB tool, yes.
21:02:37linuxstb_markun: Did you read the discussion earlier about the gigabeat bootloader? Was there a reason the ".gigabeat" file is just a raw binary, and doesn't have the usual (for swcodec targets) header?
21:02:59Soapm0s-: ahh, then said program won't add the files to the rockbox DB because those files won't be in the iTunesDB. You'll have to do a normal Rockbox DB update.
21:03:00m0s-I just used it once for the initial files on my ipod
21:03:49m0s-doing a normal rockbox db update will still keep the existing files?

21:38:12rp-dan_a: i understand that, very expensive for just 1 or 2 days
21:38:14Lloreandan_a: Early in the days of Rockbox on iPod, we couldn't get it to load Retail_OS. We never solved the problem. We moved from GCC 3.4.6 to 4.0.1 and it worked.
21:38:33Lloreandan_a: In that case, it wouldn't load Retail from within a conditional, unless that conditional always evaluated to true.
21:39:04dan_aLlorean: I'm not sure - I'm going through what I did yesterday in the order that I did it to see if it's something complex
21:39:25dan_aIt should be booting from a true conditional - I'll try rephrasing it to be negative
21:39:43dan_aI've tried with GCC 4.0.3 and 4.1.1
21:39:46Lloreandan_a: If I put if a random number, it would never work, if I waited for a button press, it wouldn't work, but if it wasn't in a conditional of any sort (tried switch as well), or if the conditional always evaluated to the same thing, it worked.
21:40:38dan_aAh... I guess r0 will be set if there's a conditional
21:41:11dan_aBut if it always evaluates to the same thing, then GCC should optimise it away
21:41:25LloreanI figured it probably did.
21:41:40LloreanI tried to obfuscate it somewhat, but since I can't read the output, I never knew if I succeeded.
