| 00:00:26 | linuxstb_ | Does the patch affect code-size on single-core targets? |
| 00:00:45 | dan_a | linuxstb_: Yes - it should shrink the core by about 100bytes |
| 00:01:08 | linuxstb_ | How do you manage that? Did you add extra code in the past, just so you can remove it and gain points? |
| 00:01:32 | dan_a | Yes - I waited until there was a table I could get green points on! |
| 00:01:54 | linuxstb_ | Cunning. |
| 00:03:33 | LinusN | dan_a: what an odd patch, you don't use svn? |
| 00:03:53 | LinusN | dan_a: 2 failed hunks |
| 00:04:16 | dan_a | LinusN: I use git for local development, because branches are really easy to do so I can work on 10 different things at once |
| 00:04:43 | LinusN | i use 10 repos for that |
| 00:04:48 | dan_a | I bet the failed hunks are the change I've just posted |

| 00:19:50 | Llorean | Rather than the button specifically marked "play", it just so happens to align with the play button on most of the targets I own. |

| 02:28:00 | preglow | pearldiver: it always does that unless you've spent some time in the eq screen |
| 02:28:01 | pearldiver | linuxstb 0224 is where it all starts |

| 02:28:45 | pearldiver | preglow but if i just do EQ on / off, same? |
| 02:28:45 | pixelma | hmm... seems like no one has corrected Björn Stenberg in onplay.h (for Kate ...err... JdGordon ;) ) so far but I'm about to leave... |
| 02:29:04 | Llorean | XavierGr: For the H300 and H100 it's not wise to compile your own bootloader. |
| 02:29:24 | linuxstb | pixelma: OK, I'll do it. |
| 02:29:50 | Shaid | Kate? |
| 02:30:25 | Mikachu | an apparently not perfect text editor |
| 02:30:29 | linuxstb | Hmm, it looks fine to me - iso8859-1 encoded like all the other files... |
| 02:31:22 | pixelma | onplay.c |
| 02:31:52 | linuxstb | Ah yes, plus main.c, screens.c and sound_menu.c.... |
| 02:32:17 | XavierGr | Llorean: yup, but if things are like the wiki says it is pretty straight forward |
| 02:32:19 | linuxstb | ... and gui/gwps-common.c |
| 02:32:31 | XavierGr | Llorean: but something is wrong with the bootloader code atm |
| 02:33:01 | XavierGr | the new bottloader.bin file (compiled from current svn) is wrong, cause the old one still builds fine |
| 02:33:09 | XavierGr | so i will have to wait for linus |
| 02:33:13 | Llorean | XavierGr: Even if it's straightforward, if anything at all goes wrong you have a bricked unit. Better to wait for a binary bootloader that you know will work. |
| 02:33:45 | XavierGr | Llorean: of course you will have a bricked player, that's the sweet risk you take when you flash it alone :P |
| 02:33:50 | pixelma | linuxstb: thanks for looking a bit closer too :) I'm really off now |
| 02:34:19 | | Part pixelma |
| 02:34:43 | XavierGr | is there any md5 built in command on linux? |
| 02:34:57 | Mikachu | would you believe it is called 'md5sum'? |
| 02:35:01 | Llorean | XavierGr: The thing is, the flash can succeed, but if what you've compiled won't execute properly for some reason, it'll also be bricked. |
| 02:35:18 | XavierGr | Llorean: yes I realise that |
| 02:36:02 | XavierGr | flashing with impoper file or code will end up bricking the player. |
| 02:36:42 | XavierGr | that's why most of us are waiting Linus to try it first because he can unbrick it with his magic :P |
| 02:37:38 | Llorean | I was just warning because it seemed like you were trying to. |

| 02:38:14 | Llorean | I can't imagine bootloader USB mode being so important as to even take a very faint risk of bricking a player. |
| 02:38:24 | XavierGr | I was trying to built the bootloader, I know very well what will happen if there is something wrong with it |
| 02:38:49 | XavierGr | but even if I would take the risk (which I won't) I can't make the final bootloader file |
| 02:38:50 | preglow | linuxstb: the very first bloody thing the bootloader does is enable wake on alarm... |
| 02:38:58 | linuxstb | hehe |
| 02:39:22 | XavierGr | because the tools won't let me do it (there is obviously an error) |
| 02:39:30 | JdGordon | can someone paste the o with the dots please? |
| 02:39:40 | linuxstb | preglow: Now you need to write yourself a flash driver and patch the bootloader... |
| 02:40:01 | preglow | linuxstb: exactly! |
| 02:40:33 | linuxstb | Didn't I say rtc alarm would be easy? |
| 02:41:06 | XavierGr | now that I think of it I remember Linus saying something about the bootloader size |
| 02:41:19 | XavierGr | but I can't remember exactly what he said about it |
| 02:41:34 | preglow | linuxstb: i would have been done days in the past if had taken the sane route and just implemented date increment logic |
| 02:41:41 | preglow | what is that, five lines of c code? |
| 02:41:57 | JdGordon | you got the alarm working? |
| 02:42:16 | Mikachu | yeah, mine and linuxstb's ipods wake up every day at 10pm now |
| 02:42:19 | preglow | JdGordon: yeah, long ago, i just need a reliable way to figure out if we woke on alarm |

| 02:43:21 | | Quit blithe (Connection timed out) |
| 02:43:22 | XavierGr | well anyway linus' commit seems to be just a minor reorganization in the bootloader sequence, I hope it does the trick in the end |
| 02:43:53 | preglow | what, the alarm disable code i gave you didn't work? |
| 02:44:02 | Mikachu | i didn't try it |

| 02:44:25 | Mikachu | Llorean: so we can turn it off |
| 02:44:28 | TwilightInZero | Hi there, guys. |
| 02:44:30 | Mikachu | the alarm, that is |
| 02:44:53 | Llorean | We could just turn it off, if it's on, no matter what. |
| 02:44:55 | * | JdGordon looks forward to alaram on the h300 :p |
| 02:45:13 | Shaid | just check when rockbox is loading whether time now => alarm time |
| 02:45:17 | Mikachu | Llorean: you mean if you set the alarm and reboot, the alarm is unset? |
| 02:45:17 | Shaid | if so, turn it off |
| 02:45:33 | linuxstb | preglow: So you don't set the date fields in the alarm at the moment? |
| 02:45:35 | Llorean | Mikachu: Yes. |
| 02:45:41 | Shaid | though that'd stop it turning on for the next day. |
| 02:45:48 | preglow | linuxstb: if i were to do that, i would have to calculate them first |
| 02:45:53 | Shaid | hmm |
| 02:46:20 | Shaid | maybe if it's within >5mins of alarm time turn it off. |
| 02:46:28 | Llorean | Mikachu: Or, never unset it automatically, and put a menu entry for it. |
| 02:46:29 | Mikachu | actually i don't know if it turns on every day, i always have it plugged in |
| 02:46:30 | preglow | for some absurd reason, i don't want any date increment logic, but i see i'll probably need it |
| 02:46:57 | linuxstb | Doesn't the date/time setting screen already do that? |
| 02:47:11 | preglow | i set alarm seconds to 00 and minute and hour as specified, and mark the rest as irrelevant |
| 02:47:20 | JdGordon | hang on.. whats so hard about date increment logic? |
| 02:47:26 | preglow | it's not hard |
| 02:47:57 | preglow | linuxstb: i haven't seen any code like that, at least |
| 02:48:05 | preglow | but now that you mentiond it, i think amiconn talked about it once |
| 02:48:46 | preglow | mktime has some such logic, i see |
| 02:48:51 | preglow | but i can't use that |
| 02:49:05 | TwilightInZero | You guys seem to be involved into some important code-related conversation, so I'll go ahead and ask my question so you guys can get back on that... |
| 02:49:09 | XavierGr | bah! I just read in the logs that Linus send a new bootloader for the USB problem but that person didn't replied to it |
| 02:49:50 | TwilightInZero | I'm having major issues setting up a compiling environment. I first attempted to use cygwin, but if I try to do anything at all in it, it says this: "bash: fork: resource temporarily available."... |
| 02:50:05 | XavierGr | ah mikachu thanks about the md5sum command |
| 02:50:19 | linuxstb | TwilightInZero: Do you have two cygwin.dll files on your computer? That's a common cause of cygwin trouble. |
| 02:50:22 | TwilightInZero | Then I tried the VMWare one, and it worked alright, except that Samba didn't work at all. In other words, \\debian\user gave an error in Windows Explorer. |
| 02:50:27 | TwilightInZero | Two of 'em? |
| 02:50:30 | Shaid | odd. |
| 02:50:37 | TwilightInZero | I'll give a quick search real quick. |
| 02:50:56 | TwilightInZero | To finish off my question, I last tried coLinux, but it couldn't connect to the SVN server. |
| 02:50:57 | Soap | TwilightInZero: the most common cause of Samba problems is ZoneMFingAlarm. |
| 02:51:15 | scorche | Soap: heh |
| 02:51:27 | TwilightInZero | Soap: I don't have ZoneMFingAlarm. ;) |
| 02:51:36 | Soap | for the coLinux install did you enable ICS on your primary network connection? |
| 02:52:00 | * | linuxstb thinks maybe TwilightInZero should choose one system to debug... |
| 02:52:09 | TwilightInZero | Soap: I'm not sure about that. I'll check real quick while I'm running this search |
| 02:52:15 | * | TwilightInZero probably should, but he's not that smart. :P |
| 02:52:38 | linuxstb | I guess there's more chance of a solution if you have three problems. |
| 02:52:49 | TwilightInZero | I just want to get one working. |
| 02:53:02 | TwilightInZero | It doesn't matter to me which one. |
| 02:53:14 | Soap | get them all working and report back some speed benchmarks! |
| 02:53:20 | linuxstb | preglow: I'm not sure how it works, but the data/time settings screen seems to have a lot of knowledge about dates. |
| 02:53:30 | preglow | i'll have a look once i'm through with this |
| 02:53:57 | TwilightInZero | Good idea. Ah, here we go... ICS is disabled. Shall I go ahead and check that off? |
| 02:54:19 | Soap | ICS needs to be enabled on your primary network connection. |

| 03:04:54 | linuxstb | If we want to flash rockbox, we need to document all the hardware init'ing it does... |
| 03:05:04 | preglow | true enough, i guess |
| 03:05:19 | preglow | at least i've mapped out whatever it does with the pcf fairly well |
| 03:05:26 | linuxstb | Now we can rolo the diskmode app, that's the biggest issue. |
| 03:05:42 | preglow | hmm |
| 03:05:51 | preglow | i guess i can do a proper i2c multiple read routine too now |
| 03:06:04 | Llorean | Is the diskmode app the one you get from Select+Play, or the one you get from connecting a USB cable in Rockbox? |
| 03:06:10 | preglow | also, our i2c routine differ somewhat from the ones in the bootloader |

| 03:06:57 | linuxstb | Yes, I doubt there would be two separate disk modes in flash. |
| 03:07:53 | linuxstb | I've never noticed a difference, apart from the forced (SELECT+PLAY) disk mode requires a reset to leave. |
| 03:08:37 | preglow | but ok, with date increment logic i can set all the alarm fields to the exact time |
| 03:08:38 | Llorean | That and I believe one of them actually says "Disk Mode" and the other doesn't. Or some string. I can't remember what exactly it said right now, but it doesn't display in both. |
| 03:08:43 | preglow | so that the alarm will never trigger again |
| 03:09:08 | preglow | but that still does not solve the problem of the ipod triggering the alarm, the user shutting it down immediately, then turning it on again |
| 03:09:13 | preglow | the alarm will then trigger again |
| 03:09:26 | linuxstb | Llorean: Yes, I've just tested, and the "rockbox" disk mode doesn't display "Disk Mode" |
| 03:09:52 | Llorean | linuxstb: It doesn't seem likely they're actually different, I was just curious why there are any differences like that. |
| 03:10:39 | linuxstb | Rolo'ing the diskmode app gives you the "Disk Mode" text... |

| 06:57:12 | donvito | yes, yes it is |
| 06:57:20 | printfXh4 | Indeed. |
| 06:57:22 | donvito | are you a fellow R owner |
| 06:57:30 | printfXh4 | I own a Sansa E260. |
| 06:57:31 | printfXh4 | So no. |
| 06:58:12 | donvito | i see, i have a e260r |
| 06:58:27 | printfXh4 | What's the difference? |
| 06:58:31 | donvito | i know that someones working on it, and probably making some progress, i just want in on it haha |
| 06:58:45 | donvito | r is for retarded.... just kidding |
| 06:59:13 | donvito | r is for the best buy only rhapsody edition, leave it to my parents to get the one that isnt rockbox compatible |
| 06:59:20 | donvito | but hey, it was a very nice gift |
| 07:00 |
| 07:02:13 | donvito | i meant the unit is retarded, not you |
| 07:02:28 | donvito | lol i thought about how that came out, no offense meant! |
| 07:06:26 | printfXh4 | None taken. :P |
| 07:06:42 | printfXh4 | I don't use Rockbox on my Sansa actually. |

| 08:02:18 | XavierGr | What's up with the update on the bootloader? |
| 08:02:45 | XavierGr | I tried to make the bootloader but the scrambler will refuse to create the hex file |
| 08:02:45 | LinusN | JdGordon: hmmm, to be honest, i don't care much if it returns to the root menu, since the browser location is remembered |
| 08:03:00 | LinusN | XavierGr: reconfigure |
| 08:03:18 | XavierGr | I think I did... |
| 08:03:28 | XavierGr | so is it safe to make the bootloader with your changes? |
| 08:03:33 | LinusN | yes |
| 08:03:34 | XavierGr | are you going to realease one? |
| 08:03:41 | LinusN | not yet |
| 08:03:54 | LinusN | i'll fix rtc and charging first |
| 08:04:01 | JdGordon | and alarm? |
| 08:04:03 | XavierGr | ah nice :) at last! |

| 08:05:25 | LinusN | my findings with the multimeter contradict the OF disassembly |
| 08:05:41 | LinusN | so i'll have to do some more research |
| 08:05:46 | XavierGr | did the guy yesterday contacted you about the test bootloader you gave to him? |
| 08:06:13 | LinusN | pondlife? |
| 08:06:27 | XavierGr | it was pondlife? |
| 08:06:46 | LinusN | or was there another guy? |
| 08:06:47 | XavierGr | uhm I think it was someone else |
| 08:06:54 | LinusN | in the logs? |
| 08:07:11 | XavierGr | it was at the time that you asked someone for an H300 that has the USB bootloader problem |
| 08:08:22 | JdGordon | LinusN: oh, did you fix the nonlcd problem in the bootloader? (I tihnk it was that one which always thought hold was on?) |
| 08:08:34 | LinusN | JdGordon: not yet |
| 08:08:49 | XavierGr | Linus: so does your commit fixes the USB bootloader mode in the end? |
| 08:09:31 | LinusN | http://www.rockbox.org/irc/reader.pl?date=20070227#23:00 |
| 08:09:40 | LinusN | i only see pondlife there |
| 08:10:06 | LinusN | and yes, it worked for him |
| 08:10:18 | XavierGr | bah idiot I am! Sorry... |
| 08:10:37 | XavierGr | perfect! I am gonna test it too, when I manage to make the bootloader |
| 08:11:10 | amiconn | LinusN: Does it fix the nasty click? |
| 08:12:10 | JdGordon | LinusN: last thing.. are you going to add a killswitch for the bootloader this release? |
| 08:12:16 | LinusN | amiconn: yes |
| 08:12:27 | LinusN | JdGordon: possibly |
| 08:12:36 | XavierGr | killswitch? |

| 08:12:48 | JdGordon | cool.. just as long as its not really possible to activate it accidently :p |
| 08:13:01 | LinusN | we'll see |
| 08:14:10 | * | amiconn wonders hy we would want that |
| 08:14:24 | JdGordon | for warrenty returns |
| 08:14:31 | JdGordon | if the disk isnt accessable |
| 08:14:43 | LinusN | i.e fraud |
| 08:15:58 | amiconn | JdGordon: Well if the disk isn't accessible you can't remove rockbox from it either. So why worry about the bootloader? |

| 08:16:27 | XavierGr | because if the disk isn't readable then iriver wouldn't know :P |
| 08:16:56 | JdGordon | if the bootloader works but the disk doesnt, iriver will see the rb bootloader and deny the return |
| 08:17:08 | XavierGr | exaclty |
| 08:17:12 | JdGordon | not that it really matters anymore seen all hxxx's would e out of warrenty by now |
| 08:17:21 | XavierGr | indeed |
| 08:17:22 | amiconn | If the disk isn't accessible that doesn't mean it can't be made working again |
| 08:17:43 | XavierGr | not to mention that iriver won't be able to replace his unit with another H100 |
| 08:17:45 | amiconn | ...and then iriver would still see rockbox |
| 08:18:17 | XavierGr | yes but still it would mean that they will have to repair the disk/board and then search his files |
| 08:18:44 | DataGhost | afaik they're not even allowed to do that |
| 08:18:47 | LinusN | amiconn: i still have to fix the click for the application |
| 08:18:53 | DataGhost | by company policy |
| 08:19:12 | DataGhost | because there might be illegal stuff on it and they don't want it to be their responsibility |
| 08:19:28 | XavierGr | DataGhost: well my (un)-repaired H300 came with some mp3s from the technician LOL |
| 08:19:35 | DataGhost | heh |
| 08:19:49 | LinusN | XavierGr: any luck creating the H300.hex file? |
| 08:19:52 | DataGhost | well that's forgivable |
| 08:20:02 | XavierGr | sucky though I immediately removed them nothing of my pleasure |
| 08:20:17 | XavierGr | Linus VMware refuses to svn update right now |
| 08:20:43 | XavierGr | I will let you know, though I might not manage to make it before I go to work |
| 08:21:16 | * | JdGordon is game - i mean.. crazy... Ill try a new bootloader |
| 08:22:03 | XavierGr | well I am afraid to try it even if I manage to create the firmware file :P |
| 08:22:06 | | Part toffe |
| 08:22:51 | JdGordon | are the instructions the same as whats on the wiki? |
| 08:23:35 | XavierGr | I think yes |
| 08:23:47 | XavierGr | it worked for me until the scrambling |
| 08:24:21 | | Part decayedcell |
| 08:24:33 | XavierGr | Linus: It should work normally with all (official iriver) H300.hexes right? |
| 08:26:01 | JdGordon | scramble worked.. |
| 08:26:08 | XavierGr | nice |
| 08:26:14 | XavierGr | I guess I did something wrong |
| 08:26:22 | JdGordon | LinusN: have you got a md5 of the hacked .hex I can compare against just to make sure? |
| 08:26:36 | XavierGr | the command was right it is just that the tool would give me a file size error |
| 08:26:51 | LinusN | XavierGr: that is wrong |
| 08:27:02 | LinusN | it should not give a file size error |
| 08:27:20 | LinusN | is your svn up-to-date? |
| 08:27:21 | XavierGr | let me try again then |
| 08:27:38 | XavierGr | It should be but I am just svn updating as we speak |
| 08:27:59 | LinusN | after updating, you must run ../tools/configure again |
| 08:28:10 | LinusN | otherwise the binary will be too big |
| 08:28:30 | JdGordon | ok... here we go... |
| 08:30:39 | JdGordon | tick tock... |
| 08:30:50 | JdGordon | stupid thing takes a while doesnt it ? :p |
| 08:31:09 | XavierGr | hmm i think it will work now, because the bin is 3.99 and not 4mb |
| 08:31:34 | JdGordon | well it booted back into rb so it worked :) |
| 08:31:54 | XavierGr | yup I have the hex now |
| 08:31:57 | XavierGr | it seems that I didn't update my repository |
| 08:32:03 | XavierGr | damn it and I was almost sure about it |
| 08:32:14 | JdGordon | logging on the remote :) awesome |
| 08:33:05 | JdGordon | LinusN: ill keep an eye on usb and let you know if its any worse than before (mine either works for days on end or doesnt :p ) |
| 08:33:09 | XavierGr | JdGordon: md5sum? |

| 08:33:51 | XavierGr | ah I used 1.29 korean |
| 08:34:04 | XavierGr | ok here it goes |
| 08:34:09 | * | XavierGr crosses fingers |
| 08:35:12 | DataGhost | aaaaaaaaand then the power went offline. too bad |
| 08:35:15 | DataGhost | :p |
| 08:35:35 | XavierGr | SHIT! |
| 08:35:38 | XavierGr | it works :P |
| 08:35:50 | DataGhost | heh |
| 08:35:54 | DataGhost | that's what I thought this morning |
| 08:36:00 | * | JdGordon has a stupid version string in the bootloader now |
| 08:36:16 | JdGordon | version: rootpatch-12500M or something :p |
| 08:36:17 | XavierGr | hmm strange why it doesn't respond to button presses when in USB bootloader mode? |
| 08:36:25 | DataGhost | and after that I noticed that I'd been up all night, as planned... but didn't do the planned work. instead, I kept on tinkering with my iPod |

| 08:45:26 | XavierGr | thanks again Linus bye |
| 08:46:07 | LinusN | and it is potentially harmful |
| 08:46:19 | JdGordon | the fix or the problem? |
| 08:46:19 | XavierGr | :O |
| 08:46:23 | LinusN | if you leave the charger connected |
| 08:46:25 | XavierGr | even when runing rockbox? |
| 08:46:41 | XavierGr | so shouldn't I leave it to charge into rockbox? |
| 08:46:50 | LinusN | no, only in the case when it doesn't react when you insert the charger |
| 08:46:54 | JdGordon | why is the backlight being turned off in the usb loop? |
| 08:47:02 | LinusN | to save battery |
| 08:47:19 | XavierGr | yeah better that way |
| 08:47:35 | LinusN | i think we could leave it on if the charging is enabled |
| 08:47:36 | XavierGr | just it would be nice to have backlight on keypress as you said |
| 08:47:38 | JdGordon | but the buttons dont work.. so you can forget its connected |
| 08:47:45 | LinusN | right |
| 08:47:51 | LinusN | will fix that |

| 09:10:17 | GodEater | is saratoga around ? |
| 09:10:35 | GodEater | I think he might have been a bit hasty locking a forum thread... |
| 09:12:01 | JdGordon | LinusN: doing a remote_type() check should be enough to get aroudn the h300 non-lcd remote right? |
| 09:12:33 | GodEater | anyone else care to unlock it (assuming you agree with me) ? It's in the Gigabeat install forum... |
| 09:12:34 | JdGordon | e.g http://rafb.net/p/BPuZt446.html (assuming I didnt stuff up the logic :p |
| 09:14:45 | JdGordon | yeah, that logic is wrong |
| 09:16:58 | | Join linuxstb_ [0] (n=linuxstb@rockbox/developer/linuxstb) |
| 09:17:03 | LinusN | JdGordon: it might not be that easy, since the remote_tick handler must be running before we can detect the remote type |
| 09:17:20 | LinusN | i.e the button check must be done later in the code |
| 09:17:32 | JdGordon | oh ? nuts :p |
| 09:18:11 | amiconn | LinusN: Do we have adc? |
| 09:18:11 | JdGordon | speaking of tik handlers.. what happens if it takes longer than 1 tick to complete? |
| 09:18:23 | LinusN | amiconn: yes |
| 09:18:27 | amiconn | If so, the remote check could be done "manually" |
| 09:18:39 | LinusN | JdGordon: then you're in for a surprise :-) |
| 09:18:56 | LinusN | amiconn: yes |
| 09:19:02 | JdGordon | haha ok |
| 09:19:15 | amiconn | A side effect of checking the accessory voltage is that it also tells you the hold state for the lcd remotes |
| 09:19:16 | amiconn | No extra check necessary |
| 09:19:52 | JdGordon | LinusN: please let me know if you find any bugs bad enough that I should go back to the old bootloader |
| 09:20:08 | GodEater | Llorean: thanks for that - I got the impression he was trying to install Rockbox too - it does sound like he's managed to bugger his unit up though |
| 09:20:23 | LinusN | JdGordon: there is a bug that can give you an I04: error when loading rockbox |

| 09:32:07 | Jaxx | GodEater1: judging by the battery juice that rockbox sucks compared to the apple firmware .. i am guessing that it is chip based decoding |
| 09:32:38 | GodEater | Jaxx: well I'm pretty certain that's a false assumption - ipods don't *just* decode mp3s - what about AAC ? |
| 09:33:23 | Jaxx | maybe |
| 09:33:27 | GodEater | the working theory on battery life issues with ipods and other PortalPlayer based targets here is that we're not powering down enough of the iPod when it's not required. Because we don't know how. |

| 09:36:14 | Shaid | yeah |

| 09:38:22 | Shaid | I'm tempted to do the 3.5" hdd 'mod' to my 4th gen |
| 09:38:28 | Jaxx | does it involve hardware decoding on the Archos? is battery life good? |

| 10:48:27 | B4gder | it seems so, yes |
| 10:48:45 | LinusN | yes |
| 10:49:32 | B4gder | but very few buttons, I bet it would be awkward to use as a remote for real |
| 10:49:43 | Llorean | Very probably. |
| 10:49:55 | Llorean | I used to have a PDA whose IR function I used for such things. |
| 10:50:30 | B4gder | I got myself a "universal remote" thing for my living room just a while ago, and with a bazillion buttons it still is hard to get all devices controller in a nice and intuitive way |
| 10:50:40 | B4gder | controlled |
| 10:50:41 | Llorean | Because every IR-equipped device I've owned has come with a 'programmable' or 'multi-purpose' remote that seems unable to be programmed to interact with any of the other ones despite the vast list of 'supported' devices in the product manual. |
| 10:51:21 | DataGhost | Llorean that probably just means that they don't interfere :P |
| 10:51:34 | Llorean | When I visit my parents, they have one with an LCD screen, and these crazy multipurpose buttons. You press one thing and it turns on a TV, the DVD player, a receiver unit, and ejects the DVD tray, for example. |
| 10:51:48 | B4gder | my remote can "learn" from the original remote, and put that on any key |
| 10:52:03 | Llorean | I wish I had one that could learn. I keep meaning to buy one. |
| 10:52:06 | B4gder | and such "macro" functions |

| 11:49:28 | GodEater | good point |
| 11:53:22 | LinusN | the manual will need a major overhaul, and unfortunately the menus will change a lot in the time to come, because of the root menu |

| 11:54:58 | petur | poor Jd |
| 11:55:01 | * | bluebrother raises his hand for voting :) |
| 11:55:47 | Kasperle | i have a wps file here that doesn'T seem to work correctly. and those parts that seem off are not covered by the docs, either (at least not like that). one example: %s%m|49|318|%?ia<%ia |%?d2<%d2|(root)>> |
| 11:55:58 | LinusN | i think the root menu is destined for svn inclusion, and there is no reason to wait |
| 11:56:23 | bluebrother | Kasperle: isn't %m part of the scrolling margins patch? |
| 11:56:25 | LinusN | but it is vital that the keymaps are up-to-date for all targets |
| 11:56:46 | BigBambi | %m isn't official, as bluebrother says |

| 11:57:55 | * | bluebrother thinks about a packaged wps format that can handle situations like that ... |
| 11:58:00 | Kasperle | it's this: http://www.rockbox.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/WpsIpod5g#Black_Glass_Album_Art_Version |
| 11:58:08 | bluebrother | damn, I'm dreaming again ;-) |
| 11:59:13 | Kasperle | i guess i'll try that album art patch, then ;) |
| 11:59:30 | BigBambi | As bluebrother said, I think %m is scrolling margins |
| 11:59:30 | LinusN | i like the skin proposal in the wiki |

| 12:00:11 | BigBambi | Given it is a Senab theme, you might want to look at his unofficial build and see what is in it, seeing as it almost certainly will have the patches you need |

| 12:02:23 | bluebrother | I'm not sure if I get the exact point. So it's moving the skin functionality out to separate code? |

| 12:02:58 | LinusN | bluebrother: no, it's a suggestion for a system that can apply a skin to all screens |
| 12:03:07 | cadu | hello guys, i have a small question about the toshiba gigabeat series |
| 12:03:15 | LinusN | much like the wps is today, but for all screens |
| 12:03:16 | bluebrother | ah, so mostly a wps-for-other-screens thing? |
| 12:03:28 | LinusN | yes |
| 12:03:31 | GodEater | cadu: go ahead |
| 12:03:31 | cadu | yesterday i talked with a couple of pals here about it and both say this player is okay for use, good :P |
| 12:03:38 | bluebrother | ok. Sounds much more reasonable to me than what I thought first ;-) |
| 12:03:46 | LinusN | haha |
| 12:04:26 | bluebrother | I'd be interested in something like that. But no time for the next 3 month :( |

| 12:04:41 | cadu | today i did a quick read at rockbox's toshiba gigabeat homepage... it shows some devices at 50% support like power management / lcd driver... |
| 12:05:03 | cadu | any caveats at all ? i've been thinking about getting me one of those all day long :) |
| 12:05:21 | GodEater | cadu: That may just mean those items have not been fully optimised yet |
| 12:05:24 | markun | cadu: which one are you planning to get? |
| 12:05:29 | LinusN | cadu: it's still a work in progress, but i hear that it works just fine |

| 12:06:25 | cadu | markun, haven't taken a look at the stores yet, but as i'm in japan, i would not expect anything but the bleeding edge models...things here vanish from the stores quickly, and are quickly supplanted by new models and whatever :P |
| 12:06:36 | tick | LinusN: I'd rather interpret the skin proposal in the bluebrother's way |
| 12:06:45 | markun | cadu: I could split out the some of the items on the todo so you can see which part of the power management is done and which not (wakeup from sleep for example) |
| 12:07:15 | tick | Nice idea indeed |
| 12:07:25 | BigBambi | LinusN: nice idea, but I think it's have to be WPS like rather than moving code around - the vast majority of people who would want to write skins (me included) don't have the knowledge either in C or rockbox to do it that wy, whereas I can deal with WPS style tags |
| 12:07:30 | cadu | markun, nice, but i see these parts aren't really *vital* for the device operation.... |
| 12:07:47 | cadu | wakeup from sleep is a nice feature who pause it for a while, i usually turn the damn thing off already :P |
| 12:08:16 | tick | BigBambi: there could be an "interpreting" skin that would parse a wps file. Other skins could hard code the displaying |
| 12:08:34 | LinusN | BigBambi: from the wiki page in question: "So it is possible to easily change some Parts of the user interface without programming in C" |
| 12:08:42 | BigBambi | OK, missed that bit |
| 12:08:50 | BigBambi | Good plan though |
| 12:09:13 | tick | LinusN: I don't get this point. How's that supposed to be? |
| 12:09:16 | markun | cadu: you can turn it off with a small battery switch, but when you shutdown from within rockbox it just enter the sleep mode. But right now we just reboot rockbox when we wakup from sleep. |
| 12:09:38 | BigBambi | Would go nicely with viewports... |
| 12:09:54 | cadu | markun, so these smart portable audio players don't get really 'off' at all ? |
| 12:09:54 | markun | BigBambi: yes, that's what I thought as well |
| 12:09:57 | bluebrother | so it's basically a "wps" like parsing for list views, wps, radio and recording screen? |
| 12:10:10 | LinusN | hmmm, maybe i am interpreting it wrong... |
| 12:10:21 | cadu | markun, like the ATX vs AT mobo paradigm |
| 12:10:39 | tick | So a skin could be something like the plugin API now: just a bunch of funcs for rendering of different screens. |
| 12:10:40 | LinusN | it certainly looks like he is suggesting a plugin-like interface after all |
| 12:10:42 | markun | cadu: well, they preserve what's in RAM and a few special registeres, but the rest is turned off. |
| 12:10:53 | LinusN | and that plainly sucks |
| 12:11:26 | BigBambi | I don't know from an architecture point of view, but from a me being able to write a skin, it would seem to make it hard |
| 12:11:49 | tick | LinusN: why that? The current state of the things could be easily implemented with the skin concept |
| 12:12:02 | markun | LinusN: I read his proposal as separating the interface form the rest or rockbox. Might be nice for blind users as well with text-to-speech. |
| 12:12:07 | cadu | markun, usb and cradle charging are okay? rockbox detects it or it's just charging in hardware-only ? |
| 12:12:11 | pondlife | Is there a limit to the number of times flashing can take place before any hardware fails? |
| 12:12:29 | LinusN | i think skins with C code is doomed to break |
| 12:12:32 | pondlife | i.e. 1000 flashes and that's yer lot |
| 12:13:00 | markun | cadu: it's hardware controlled and rockbox detects when the battery is being charged. |
| 12:13:23 | tick | LinusN: it will be dangerous, yes. But very flexible. |
| 12:13:41 | LinusN | it will be a burden to keep synchronized |
| 12:14:13 | tick | So the skins should be tested thoroughsly. But the API would stabilise quite fast I think |
| 12:14:19 | * | pondlife just started his H300 with a non-LCD remote |
| 12:14:19 | LinusN | and a nightmare to support when there are 3rd party skins |
| 12:14:42 | perplexity | pondlife ?? nice! current svn code ? |
| 12:14:48 | cadu | markun, nice :) |
| 12:15:05 | pondlife | A small mod or 2, still working out what |
| 12:15:13 | cadu | i think i'll buy (whatever is available at the stores, Fxx or Xxx) this weekend :P |
| 12:15:28 | markun | cadu: are you a programmer? |
| 12:15:37 | cadu | markun, mind you, i'll arrive home...turn it on to see if it's okay, and flash rockbox onto it :P |
| 12:15:37 | * | fejfighter offers thumbs up to pondlife |
| 12:15:48 | | Quit fejfighter () |

| 12:17:26 | markun | but right now I don't know what else can be done to improve the battery life for example. |
| 12:17:50 | cadu | markun, well i don't think i could help with coding, i don't have any useful C or arm/whatever asm knowledge at all , i can do some hacks when i want or when i'm pissed off (like i did to xmms...patch applied, and some simple mods on Nethack for gp2x) |
| 12:17:52 | bluebrother | hehe ... LaTeX macros are quite different to C preprocessor ones :) |
| 12:18:10 | * | JdGordon hates LaTeX |
| 12:18:24 | * | bluebrother doesn't understand this |
| 12:18:28 | markun | cadu: perhaps we can port some nice things over from the gp2x software? |
| 12:19:12 | cadu | markun, i would like to see the opposite happening too....a rockbox port to gp2x :P |
| 12:19:30 | markun | anyway, I'm several hours late for work already (strange dreams). Talk to you later. |
| 12:19:41 | JdGordon | all it needs it cross compiler for sdl arm and you should be ok |
| 12:19:43 | cadu | it has 2 arm processors (one lacks a MMU and has some specialized instructs) and all hardware documented :P |
| 12:19:50 | perplexity | I reckon rockbox would make an awesome userspace application for my palm :) |
| 12:20:03 | cadu | JdGordon, i would love userspace rockbox on gp2x (arm linux really) |
| 12:20:13 | markun | cadu: good thing all our hardware was documented as well (besides the LCD module) |
| 12:21:00 | JdGordon | LinusN: I dont think you need to worry about the thump sound... I just put on the OF bootloader and its only a bit quieter.. and happens at a differnt place, but is still there |
| 12:21:10 | JdGordon | maybe its faulty hardware and not software? |
| 12:23:09 | JdGordon | ... and if your there.. just making sure the svn bootloader should be safe? |
| 12:23:55 | JdGordon | did svn.rockbox.org die? |

| 12:56:55 | JdGordon | ok, that must be it then... |
| 12:57:27 | GodEater | I find it bizarre that the routing dies so far away from Sweden though |
| 12:57:47 | GodEater | you'd have thought that at that distance you wouldn't even get the website either |
| 12:57:57 | aliask | Singtel's international lines are particularly unreliable in my experience with them. |
| 12:58:08 | aliask | Either crappy speeds or dropouts |
| 12:58:37 | B4gder | yeah, but clearly these must be using two different routes |
| 12:59:03 | JdGordon | isnt the point of tcp/ip that if one route dies another can take over? |
| 12:59:29 | GodEater | that's the theory - but only if the router has alternate routes configured |

| 13:21:12 | pondlife | But when going back to the menus or browser, I want to always go to wherever I last was. |
| 13:21:21 | LinusN | i guess previous screen might be good enough, but what if the last screen was the plugin browser? |
| 13:21:31 | pondlife | This should cover the settings and everything ideally |
| 13:21:55 | pondlife | i.e. regard it as just 2 parts - the menu heirarchy and the WPS. |
| 13:21:55 | JdGordon | LinusN: you cant go plugins > wps |
| 13:22:04 | LinusN | ok |
| 13:22:09 | pondlife | What about pressing play? |
| 13:22:11 | JdGordon | it will always be either root or files |

| 13:22:47 | | Quit DataGhostUni ("Peace and Protection 4.22.2") |
| 13:22:50 | JdGordon | because.. :) |
| 13:22:57 | pondlife | Why not have play always work as a resume? Consistency ;-) |
| 13:23:08 | JdGordon | that was being consisteant with svn |
| 13:23:22 | pondlife | Well, we can improve it, can't we? |
| 13:23:31 | LinusN | the code in svn is not very consistent, is it? :-) |
| 13:23:42 | pondlife | Stop means go to heirarchy, play means go to WPS |
| 13:23:52 | LinusN | i would expect Play to take me to WPS at all times |
| 13:23:59 | JdGordon | amiconn: have you still got everything setup to make voice files? |

| 13:24:34 | JdGordon | i mean, that will happen if stop == go to previous |
| 13:24:37 | pondlife | Currently, in settings, play selects. That's been wrong for a long time.. |
| 13:24:54 | pondlife | That's the one that's annoyed me most |
| 13:24:57 | amiconn | I didn't make any new voice file since the langv2 transition... and I'm not allowed to publish the bearable ones :( |
| 13:25:01 | LinusN | JdGordon: that's why i think it should go to the root when you stop |
| 13:25:19 | LinusN | then the file tree is one click away |
| 13:25:22 | pondlife | I don't understand? |
| 13:25:30 | pondlife | Why not go back to the last place? |
| 13:25:35 | LinusN | and since it remembers the location, it shouldn't be a problem |
| 13:25:43 | JdGordon | amiconn: ok, i was wondering why the ones from you on the wiki are so old :p |
| 13:25:58 | LinusN | pondlife: because it's potentially confusing |
| 13:25:59 | pondlife | Seems inconsistent to me. Why should the browser be special... |
| 13:26:00 | pixelma | LinusN: still one click too many |
| 13:26:20 | LinusN | pixelma: yes, if you want to go to the browser |
| 13:26:22 | pondlife | If it goes back to the heirarchy, it's only one long left back to the root. |
| 13:26:48 | LinusN | pondlife: the last screen could be the plugin browser or the theme browser |
| 13:26:50 | pondlife | I know you don't see it as a heirarchy, but I have to for consistency... |
| 13:26:53 | pondlife | Why not |
| 13:26:57 | JdGordon | pixelma: did you try the latest patch? hopefully left will act properly for you in the tree |
| 13:27:06 | pondlife | Useful if selecting a theme, certainly |
| 13:27:06 | amiconn | I should adapt the vbscript one day.... probably before the per-target voice split :/ |
| 13:27:32 | pondlife | I can see that plug-ins might be a bit pointless, but consistency is much improved, no? |
| 13:27:44 | pixelma | want to repeat my suggestion: make it go to the screen one has set as start screen - could make everyone happy |
| 13:27:50 | LinusN | pondlife: consistency is always going back to the root, imho |
| 13:28:08 | pixelma | LinusN: that's what I do the most, I don't change settings too often... |
| 13:28:11 | pondlife | True, but that's a useful feature lost. |
| 13:28:11 | LinusN | pixelma: sounds reasonable |
| 13:28:20 | pondlife | Can I set start screen to be browser? |
| 13:28:25 | LinusN | yes |
| 13:28:30 | pondlife | So "root"="browser" |
| 13:28:42 | JdGordon | start != root tho |
| 13:28:50 | pixelma | JdGordon: yes, repeat left works now |
| 13:28:59 | GodEater | start is first screen displayed, root is always the root menu |
| 13:29:02 | LinusN | my only concern is that it may not be obvious to the user what screen it will return to when you stop |
| 13:29:14 | pondlife | The last one they selected |
| 13:29:35 | GodEater | that wouldn't make any sense to me if I'd been listening to music for 6 hours |
| 13:29:39 | pondlife | Although I could live with the start screen I guess, as long as follow playlist works properly |
| 13:29:44 | GodEater | I'd have forgotten where I was by then |
| 13:29:49 | JdGordon | How about we leave it stop > root, and if we get heaps of requests for something else we change it? |
| 13:29:54 | pondlife | Stop -> start |
| 13:30:12 | pondlife | Which will be root for most |
| 13:30:13 | markun | JdGordon: sounds fine |
| 13:30:24 | LinusN | pondlife: that might be kind of irritating it the start screen is the wps |

| 13:31:46 | pondlife | Because it might be WPS or radio |
| 13:32:02 | pondlife | LinusN: Of course, even better |
| 13:32:04 | LinusN | linuxstb: read my comment a few lines up |
| 13:32:29 | JdGordon | I think start screen with a sanity check would be best |
| 13:32:43 | pondlife | I prefer last |
| 13:32:50 | linuxstb | I still think STOP should go to the root menu, otherwise it's no longer a root menu. |
| 13:32:50 | pondlife | Start screen is a compromise IMHO |
| 13:33:00 | pondlife | linuxstb: MENU does that |
| 13:33:23 | linuxstb | And SELECT takes you to the file browser... |
| 13:33:31 | pondlife | No |
| 13:33:34 | pondlife | Select selects |
| 13:33:38 | JdGordon | whatever happens... can someone please build a updated voice file? make voice does nothing :p |
| 13:34:12 | Mikachu | JdGordon: did you configure for voice? |
| 13:34:14 | B4gder | the last time I tried, make voice built a voice file |
| 13:34:16 | pondlife | How about select in the WPS goes to the last screen but doesn't stop playback? |
| 13:34:28 | JdGordon | Mikachu: configure seems to have done nothing |
| 13:34:40 | JdGordon | which target needs to be chosen? |
| 13:34:54 | GodEater | JdGordon: any of them I'd guess |
| 13:35:01 | GodEater | and the V for voice |
| 13:35:01 | JdGordon | pondlife: select goes to the last browser, and doesnt stop |
| 13:35:04 | GodEater | s/the/then |
| 13:35:22 | B4gder | JdGordon: you should select the target you want the voice for |
| 13:35:29 | B4gder | they will be target-specific soonish |
| 13:35:42 | JdGordon | configure for voice does nothing :( |
| 13:35:58 | GodEater | JdGordon: does here |
| 13:36:01 | linuxstb | pondlife: What you're saying is that you don't want a root menu, but want to keep the existing Rockbox behaviour 100%? |
| 13:36:08 | pondlife | No |
| 13:36:17 | JdGordon | GodEater: is it telling you You need Festival, eSpeak or Flite in your path to build voice files ? |
| 13:36:36 | pondlife | I want consistency |
| 13:36:38 | JdGordon | espeak btw is installed and in the patch |
| 13:36:40 | JdGordon | path |
| 13:36:40 | linuxstb | In my mind, the root menu is the place you go to when you exit a screen. |
| 13:36:48 | JdGordon | ^ amen |
| 13:36:49 | LinusN | pondlife: and going to root is not consistency? |
| 13:36:53 | linuxstb | But in addition, we have short-cuts between screen. |
| 13:36:58 | GodEater | GodEater: yes it is |
| 13:37:01 | GodEater | argh |
| 13:37:05 | GodEater | talking to myself |
| 13:37:08 | GodEater | JdGordon: yes it is ;) |
| 13:37:14 | GodEater | and I have all three |
| 13:37:20 | B4gder | JdGordon: it works for me with festival installed |
| 13:37:22 | JdGordon | whisky tango foxtrot! |
| 13:37:24 | GodEater | although I think the Festival install is broken |
| 13:37:43 | pondlife | Sorry, on the phone... |
| 13:37:48 | GodEater | I don't appear to have a festival_client :( |
| 13:37:58 | GodEater | so I just went with espeak instead |
| 13:38:03 | GodEater | which appeared to work |
| 13:38:25 | JdGordon | B4gder: is there a script i can run instead of make voice? |
| 13:38:31 | GodEater | after you've done make voice - what then ? I'm left with a bazillion .mp3 files |
| 13:38:47 | pondlife | LinusN: Going to root would be consistent, yes. But going to root on MENU and last screen on STOP is also consistent and better (IMHO). |
| 13:38:56 | B4gder | GodEater: there should be a single file with them all merged |
| 13:39:02 | LinusN | i can go with last screen |
| 13:39:10 | B4gder | JdGordon: sure, just do what make voice does manually |
| 13:39:15 | GodEater | B4gder: called what ? |
| 13:39:24 | GodEater | ah - english.voice |
| 13:39:30 | JdGordon | which is? I get no Makefile |
| 13:39:59 | GodEater | JdGordon: do you *have* those things in your path ? |
| 13:40:11 | | Part fasmaie |
| 13:40:22 | pondlife | linuxstb: FWIW, I certainly do want a root menu, I like the idea of going from file to database browser and settings in a single heirarchy. |
| 13:40:26 | JdGordon | I have espeak |
| 13:42:20 | * | JdGordon gives up... GO_TO_PREVIOUS it is |
| 13:42:38 | linuxstb | I just think "last screen" isn't logical. Does it really matter if it takes a couple of clicks to enter the file browser after you press STOP? Or just press SELECT, then STOP. |
| 13:43:03 | * | JdGordon agrees soo much there... exit shoud goto root |
| 13:43:05 | amiconn | Yes it does. It's cumbersome if you're used to classic rockbox navigation |
| 13:43:26 | JdGordon | it takes 5 min to get used to the new menu |
| 13:43:35 | amiconn | I once tried Ondio original firmware... and was immediately annoyed by the root menu |
| 13:43:50 | amiconn | It requres extra button presses |
| 13:44:16 | GodEater | haha - espeak sounds like robbie the robot |
| 13:44:25 | amiconn | The root menu is probably a good idea... but only if you're not forced to use it everytime |
| 13:44:26 | | Quit barrywardell ("Konversation terminated!") |
| 13:44:34 | pondlife | amiconn: My thoughts exactly |
| 13:44:38 | | Quit Spida (Read error: 113 (No route to host)) |
| 13:44:39 | markun | GodEater: but it's a nice 1 man project |
| 13:44:46 | linuxstb | amiconn: It requires one extra press. Just press SELECT to go the file browser, then stop playback. |
| 13:45:20 | pixelma | which could be avoided... |
| 13:45:44 | pondlife | It just seems more logical to regard the WPS as an overlay on the menu system (including the browser etc.) |
| 13:45:46 | linuxstb | If you're intending to choose a new album, why stop playback at all? Just use SELECT to go the browser, and choose your next song. |
| 13:45:48 | GodEater | markun: Only one guy works on it ? Wow - impressive! |
| 13:46:10 | markun | GodEater: it was designed to run on very simple machines (12MHz ARM initially) and to be understandable, but did not have to be human sounding. |
| 13:46:16 | JdGordon | pondlife: if thats the case then for sure you would expect off to take you to the root menu |
| 13:46:17 | pondlife | linuxstb: If you want to go to the root menu, why not just press MENU? |
| 13:46:28 | pixelma | linuxstb: currently you're taken back to the root menu when playback has stopped |
| 13:46:29 | pondlife | No, to the last screen I was in |
| 13:46:37 | GodEater | markun: well it's pretty good - I wasn't complaining, I actually like the mechanized voice sound :) |
| 13:46:51 | pixelma | linuxstb: I mean at the end of the playlist |
| 13:46:52 | markun | GodEater: well, he got some help with support for other languages |
| 13:46:53 | pondlife | I want to go to the root menu only on boot up or when I navigate left into it. |
| 13:47:03 | JdGordon | GodEater: can you put up voice files for the patch please? |
| 13:47:13 | Shaid | the amiga could do robotic speach synthesis on a 7mhz 68k. |
| 13:47:29 | Shaid | I was impressed back in 1987. |
| 13:47:30 | markun | GodEater: if you have some spare time, a port to rockbox is on my wishlist |
| 13:47:45 | linuxstb | pixelma: Ah, I can see how the "stop at end of playlist" case is different. I agree it makes sense there to take the user to the browser. |
| 13:47:47 | Shaid | But now in 2007 it's not really alot better... |
| 13:47:57 | GodEater | for comparison, flite is terrible |
| 13:47:57 | JdGordon | espeak doesnt use as many languages as rockbox does tho |
| 13:48:03 | markun | Shaid: yes, I was impressed too, but wasn't there some special hardware for it? |
| 13:48:25 | GodEater | JdGordon: would that mean building a voice file per target ? |
| 13:48:26 | markun | JdGordon: I added Dutch, didn't take me long (although it's far from perfect) |
| 13:48:34 | pixelma | linuxstb: and in this case I don't see why there should be a difference depending on the reason why playback has stopped |
| 13:48:37 | markun | JdGordon: so other people can just add their own languages |
| 13:48:38 | * | linuxstb is starting to get persuaded... |
| 13:48:43 | JdGordon | GodEater: I dont thin so.. dont know tho |
| 13:48:43 | pondlife | What's the best quality voice generator that allows the end product to be distributed? |
| 13:49:13 | GodEater | I wish I could try out festival - the gentoo ebuild doesn't seem to install the binaries that the make procedure expects though |
| 13:49:23 | GodEater | :( |
| 13:49:37 | * | JdGordon has already caved in.. we are goign to previous.. im _not_ changing that to previousbrowser |
| 13:49:48 | linuxstb | Why previous, and not previousbrowser? |
| 13:49:59 | pondlife | No, previous is the one. Previous browser would be wrong. |
| 13:50:01 | JdGordon | becuase tihnk its wrong to |
| 13:50:04 | Shaid | I think the Paula chip helped, but it was mostly a kernel device |
| 13:50:10 | * | linuxstb is confused now |
| 13:50:10 | Shaid | of course, my amiga days are quite some time ago. |
| 13:50:19 | JdGordon | markun: how do you add voices? just lots of reaing or is there set words to say? |
| 13:50:20 | * | pondlife can't see the point in PrevousBrowser |
| 13:50:41 | linuxstb | What other previous screens could be useful when you press STOP? |
| 13:50:46 | JdGordon | the point is select in the wps :p |
| 13:50:49 | pondlife | Database? Settings? |
| 13:50:59 | linuxstb | Database is one of the previous browsers. |
| 13:51:00 | JdGordon | files, database, root |
| 13:51:09 | JdGordon | rec? fm? |

| 13:51:19 | GodEater | B4gder: which version of festival does rockbox expect ? |
| 13:51:27 | pondlife | Hmm, play -> radio at last?? |
| 13:51:33 | JdGordon | sure |
| 13:51:40 | pondlife | :) |
| 13:51:42 | JdGordon | we can go from any screen to any screen with this |
| 13:51:47 | LinusN | i think rockbox will never be able to evolve if we always have to retain the old behaviour |
| 13:51:55 | l33ch | hi all |
| 13:52:02 | * | GodEater agrees with LinusN |
| 13:52:13 | Shaid | well, yeah, evolution means change, it's part of its nature, really. |
| 13:52:13 | linuxstb | Can someone summarise the current/proposed behaviour? I'm confused now. |
| 13:52:14 | * | pondlife does too |
| 13:52:20 | markun | JdGordon: well, I just started to add the most likely phoneme for each letters in the dutch language, then just made it read some words and corrected the mistakes by coming up with new rules |
| 13:52:21 | JdGordon | ... and retain the charcell compatability :p |
| 13:52:24 | Shaid | we're not reactionists, are we? |
| 13:52:27 | pondlife | linuxstb: It's much simpler |
| 13:52:29 | LinusN | i can go with previous screen |
| 13:52:46 | JdGordon | markun: ok, sounds like fun :) |
| 13:52:46 | pondlife | Just navigate the menus, PLAY -> WPS, STOP -> menus |
| 13:52:50 | markun | JdGordon: let me check if I have my initial file, perhaps you will them see what I mean |
| 13:53:02 | JdGordon | na dont woryy about it |
| 13:53:05 | pondlife | browser is regarded as part of the menus |
| 13:53:08 | JdGordon | i was just curious.. |
| 13:53:16 | * | JdGordon only speaks english |
| 13:53:27 | linuxstb | Starting with the WPS, is the proposal that: SELECT goes to last browser, MENU goes to root menu, and STOP goes to the previously entered screen? |
| 13:53:30 | JdGordon | pondlife: no its not... |
| 13:53:42 | pondlife | No? |
| 13:53:43 | JdGordon | linuxstb: yes |
| 13:53:45 | LinusN | linuxstb: yes |
| 13:54:02 | pondlife | linuxstb: Yes! |
| 13:54:03 | JdGordon | pondlife: they arnt part of the menu, the menu just ties everything to gether |
| 13:54:17 | pondlife | No, I mean conceptually in the UI |
| 13:54:22 | linuxstb | Then I don't understand the STOP behaviour - either the root menu or last browser would seem more useful. |
| 13:54:23 | pondlife | I know they're not really |
| 13:54:29 | JdGordon | there also.. |
| 13:54:43 | * | pondlife would like SELECT to go to previous too, not previous browser |
| 13:54:52 | LinusN | conceptually, the root menu is, well, a menu from where you can go to different screens |
| 13:55:04 | pondlife | i.e. SELECT in WPS is same as STOP but playback continues. |
| 13:55:50 | linuxstb | That just seems very confusing - I would prefer buttons to be predictable in terms of going to absolute places. |
| 13:55:50 | LinusN | pondlife: i'd rather see SELECT in WPS as a shortcut to the browser |
| 13:55:52 | * | JdGordon finaly sees a massive advantage of svn over cvs... I can sitll make a patch :) |
| 13:56:06 | pondlife | Fair enough |
| 13:56:08 | markun | JdGordon: example of spanish: http://130.89.160.166/es_rules |
| 13:56:59 | markun | JdGordon: the english rules are very very complex compared to this as you can imagine :) |
| 13:57:26 | JdGordon | does it handle non-english alphabets? |
| 13:57:34 | Mikachu | yes, swedish works fine |
| 13:57:49 | markun | yes, utf-8 is the default encoding |
| 13:58:07 | JdGordon | those rules... does it try to transliterate the text? |
| 13:58:34 | JdGordon | looks interesting :p |
| 13:58:43 | markun | JdGordon: well, if by that you mean change text to phonemes then yes |
| 13:59:00 | Mikachu | markun: is there any way to handle words that are pronounced differently based on context? |
| 13:59:10 | * | JdGordon is a comp geek... not an english one.. wtf is a phoneme? |
| 13:59:16 | markun | Mikachu: not really (like 'read' and 'read' right?) |
| 13:59:23 | Mikachu | yeah |
| 13:59:54 | JdGordon | or, letters being pronounced differently if they are in the middle or at the end of the word? |
| 14:00 |
| 14:00:01 | Mikachu | that's no problem |

| 14:03:55 | roolku | petur: any chance of a quick test if my re-shuffeling has broken it? |

| 14:09:48 | JdGordon | thats wa sinevitable tho |
| 14:09:55 | LinusN | of course |
| 14:10:03 | JdGordon | as long as we are mostly in agreement its all that matters |
| 14:11:12 | preglow | and then it's time to start working on being able to skin it! |
| 14:11:13 | preglow | :) |
| 14:11:15 | LinusN | i'm just glad that i'm apparently still young enough to be able to learn new things |
| 14:11:29 | preglow | haha |
| 14:11:41 | LinusN | like using the root menu |
| 14:11:42 | preglow | the day i don't, i think i'll just throw myself in a lake |
| 14:12:04 | preglow | i think the root menu rocks |
| 14:12:05 | petur | and swim a bit... |
| 14:12:14 | LinusN | i love the root menu |
| 14:12:34 | LinusN | but i think "root menu" is a somewhat misleading name |
| 14:12:34 | preglow | makes rockbox a nicer place overall |
| 14:12:38 | GodEater | I also fear the change of fearing change if you see what I mean ;) |
| 14:12:45 | preglow | and probably easier for noobs |
| 14:12:53 | preglow | LinusN: agreed |
| 14:13:15 | LinusN | i think perhaps "Start menu" or "Main menu" |
| 14:13:25 | LinusN | "root" implies a hierarchy that doesn't exist" |
| 14:13:28 | preglow | start menu gets my vote |
| 14:14:06 | preglow | it's not like we really need to call it anything anyway |
| 14:14:11 | preglow | apple calls their main menu "ipod" |
| 14:14:13 | preglow | :) |
| 14:14:17 | LinusN | well, we might have to, in the manual |
| 14:14:33 | pixelma | so JdGordon would have to rename root_menu.c ? ;) |
| 14:14:36 | LinusN | "Menu" takes you to the xxxx |
| 14:14:45 | LinusN | pixelma: lol * 2 |
| 14:14:52 | linuxstb | I always thought the idea of the root menu was to create a hierarchy... |
| 14:14:58 | JdGordon | I was actually going to ask if root_menu.* should be moved and renamed |
| 14:15:14 | LinusN | linuxstb: where is the hierarchy? |
| 14:15:22 | JdGordon | moved into gui or menus and named ? |
| 14:15:24 | preglow | i think of the point of the root menu as just organising things in a more logical place |
| 14:15:26 | linuxstb | The root menu is at the root, and everything else underneath. |
| 14:15:47 | LinusN | you can go from any screen to another |
| 14:15:54 | LinusN | via the root menu |
| 14:15:56 | Febs | "Main Menu" might be confusing as there is a main menu now which serves a different function. |
| 14:16:07 | linuxstb | LinusN: Exactly - _via_ the root menu. |
| 14:16:12 | JdGordon | Main Menu is renamed to Settings in te patch |
| 14:16:22 | JdGordon | not via... you can go any to any skipping the root! |
| 14:16:23 | markun | but start menu is also not right if you have the settings menu defined as the start screen :) |
| 14:16:24 | linuxstb | Apart from the small number of short-cuts which by-pass the root menu. |
| 14:16:34 | pondlife | LinusN: What's the harm in regarding it as a heirarchy? |
| 14:17:00 | preglow | you might get surprised when it doesn't act as such |
| 14:17:15 | LinusN | exactly |
| 14:17:17 | roolku | root menu is not so intuitive for technically challenged users - I like main menu |
| 14:17:17 | preglow | anyway, i believe it's quite redundant |
| 14:17:23 | preglow | people will use it, find out how it works, and then remember that |
| 14:17:28 | markun | pondlife: same problem as "why doesn't left bring me back to the WPS?" |
| 14:17:34 | preglow | you don't need a perfect concept of anything to be able to use it |
| 14:17:51 | Febs | But you do need to be able to have a consistent name for it to be able to document it. |
| 14:17:59 | LinusN | yes we do |
| 14:18:11 | LinusN | i think "Main menu" is the best |
| 14:18:14 | linuxstb | How about "Rockbox menu" - with "Rockbox" as the title? |
| 14:18:23 | pondlife | I vote "Main menu" |
| 14:18:25 | LinusN | linuxstb: not bad |
| 14:18:41 | markun | but then again, all menus in rockbox are a rockbox menu |
| 14:18:48 | linuxstb | But not The Rockbox Menu. |
| 14:18:56 | markun | ah no :) |
| 14:19:00 | preglow | main menu gets my vote |
| 14:19:09 | LinusN | ok, so we have "Main menu", "Start menu" and "Rockbox menu" |
| 14:19:12 | GodEater | he definite artcile |
| 14:19:14 | Febs | Notwithstanding my earlier comment, I think "Main Menu" makes sense as well. |
| 14:19:19 | GodEater | I vote Rockbox menu |
| 14:19:20 | preglow | hmm, rockbox menu isn't bad either :P |
| 14:19:26 | linuxstb | Main Menu works, but is boring... |
| 14:19:28 | LinusN | (here we go again) :-) |
| 14:19:32 | pondlife | Nah, there are lots of Rockbox menus ;) |
| 14:19:35 | * | GodEater remembers this isn't a democracy :) |
| 14:19:40 | preglow | i definitely like rockbox menu now |
| 14:19:43 | preglow | commit! |
| 14:19:46 | LinusN | haha |
| 14:19:58 | JdGordon | the title now is Rockbox Menu (it should be ROCKbox but meh..), settings is Settings |
| 14:19:58 | pondlife | no, wait, preglow changed his mind ;) |
| 14:20:18 | preglow | it's set now that i've cycled through all three alternatives |
| 14:20:19 | preglow | haha |

| 14:24:14 | pondlife | You know, if it goes in as Root Menu (TM), it'll become another Tagcache (TM) eventually ;-p |
| 14:24:19 | Febs | I predict "Rockbox menu" will cause confusion. |
| 14:24:38 | preglow | you're predictions are noted |

| 14:24:42 | preglow | your... |
| 14:24:44 | LinusN | lol |
| 14:24:57 | bospaadje | I like "Rockbox menu" |
| 14:25:11 | * | linuxstb is moving towards "Main Menu".... |
| 14:25:13 | LinusN | i think "Rockbox menu" should work |
| 14:25:16 | bospaadje | since it's essentially 'the' menu rockbox uses |
| 14:25:27 | preglow | haha |
| 14:25:34 | preglow | welcome to the rockbox decision making circus |
| 14:25:41 | pondlife | No, there are lots of menus in Rockbox! |
| 14:25:44 | pixelma | JdGordon: I don't see a change in the stop behaviour with the latest patch |
| 14:25:51 | LinusN | all other menus have names too, like "Settings" etc, so I don't think there would be much confusion |
| 14:25:54 | bospaadje | the rest is submenus (sort of), right? |
| 14:26:09 | preglow | roolku: do we really want runtime detection for something almost no one will have? |
| 14:26:09 | Febs | "Go to the Rockbox menu." "I'm in the Rockbox menu. The one with the sound settings." "No, go to the ROCKBOX menu." |
| 14:26:20 | LinusN | however, "Main menu" has more meaning to it |
| 14:26:24 | markun | Any left-to-wps guys in here? |
| 14:26:39 | JdGordon | pixelma: oh? nuts :p |
| 14:26:39 | GodEater | markun: stirrer :) |
| 14:26:45 | markun | :) |
| 14:26:46 | pondlife | JdGordon: It's almost working |
| 14:26:49 | roolku | preglow: I implemented it as a suggestion from LinusN |
| 14:26:54 | preglow | ok |
| 14:26:56 | pixelma | JdGordon: maybe because the patch didn't apply cleanly? I'll try again |
| 14:26:58 | pondlife | But Follow Playlist is only going to the folder still, not the file. |

| 14:27:44 | linuxstb | How about referring to it as the main menu, but keeping the "Rockbox" title onscreen? |
| 14:27:53 | pixelma | pondlife: that worked for me with the previous patch (at least when going to filebrowser from WPS) |
| 14:27:54 | GodEater | JdGordon: hahaha - good plan :) |
| 14:28:10 | preglow | linuxstb: sounds extra good |
| 14:28:14 | bospaadje | linuxstb, refer to it as "Rockbox main menu" then.. |
| 14:28:17 | pondlife | pixelma: Try this. Play track 2, then press STOP |
| 14:28:22 | LinusN | preglow, roolku: much like the 8Mbyte recorder build |
| 14:28:32 | markun | The Rockbox main root menu ;) |
| 14:28:34 | JdGordon | pondlife: flow playlist only works if audio is actually playing |
| 14:28:37 | GodEater | markun: what is the "STOP" button on the Gigabeat ? |
| 14:28:38 | pixelma | pondlife: then I'm back in the root main menu atm |
| 14:28:41 | LinusN | "Rootbox" :-) |
| 14:28:44 | preglow | LinusN: yeah, but that doesn't add binary size, does it? |
| 14:28:44 | GodEater | is it "A" ? |
| 14:28:57 | preglow | but i guess binary size isn't that much of an issue on h1x0 |
| 14:28:57 | pondlife | pixelma: Go into Files and find a track 02... |
| 14:29:07 | pondlife | Then play it and press STOP. What happens? |
| 14:29:13 | markun | GodEater: it's A, but I wish it was POWER |
| 14:29:13 | LinusN | preglow: a few hundred bytes i guess, but only on the h100, i hope |
| 14:29:38 | * | GodEater is bemused by how it appears impossible to ever have the WPS display the "stop" graphic |
| 14:29:39 | preglow | and i definitely guess it's worth it to avoid having another build |
| 14:29:43 | preglow | or have someone maintain custom build |
| 14:29:44 | preglow | s |
| 14:29:56 | pixelma | pondlife: in the filebrowser? |
| 14:30:02 | pondlife | No, in the WPS |
| 14:30:05 | JdGordon | pixelma: stop works correclty here.... |
| 14:30:35 | pixelma | pondlife: I said root menu atm, I'll try again |
| 14:30:36 | markun | maybe we should even put some code in a #if 0 to jump to the WPS when you press left tree to keep some people happy :) |
| 14:30:36 | pondlife | JdGordon: Can you try this too? Navigate to a track 2 in the file browser and play it. Then press STOP in the WPSS |
| 14:30:44 | JdGordon | pondlife: just tried.. works fine |

| 14:31:20 | pondlife | Aha, I see |
| 14:31:23 | preglow | roolku: i guess you don't have the ability to wake up on rtc alarm? |
| 14:31:23 | linuxstb | JdGordon: How is "previous screen" decided? If you enter the WPS from the root menu, is the root menu the previous screen? |
| 14:31:32 | JdGordon | yes |
| 14:31:32 | LinusN | preglow: sure we do |
| 14:31:50 | linuxstb | JdGordon: So which screens have a shortcut button to the WPS? |
| 14:31:54 | pondlife | I think of follow playlist as meaning "update the previous screen" |
| 14:32:07 | JdGordon | browsers, menus atm... |
| 14:32:12 | pondlife | PLAY should work from everywhere soon, right? |
| 14:32:18 | JdGordon | shortcuts can be added on a target by target basis after |
| 14:32:19 | LinusN | pondlife: i think of follow playlist as "update the browser" |

| 14:32:50 | pondlife | LinusN: OK |
| 14:32:53 | preglow | more files i need to include in my patch :/ |
| 14:33:09 | preglow | i renamed HAVE_ALARM_MOD to HAVE_RTC_ALARM |
| 14:33:51 | JdGordon | LinusN: do you know what needs to be fixed for the h300 bootloader for the alarm to turn it on? |

| 14:47:22 | LinusN | and that patch is not trivial |
| 14:47:38 | linuxstb | Why don't we just add it as an extra build then? |
| 14:47:44 | LinusN | we could |
| 14:47:45 | preglow | ah, but you can commit it without adding it as default for all h1x0 builds |
| 14:47:46 | tucoz | like the 8MB? |
| 14:47:52 | preglow | but anyway, i don't mind much |
| 14:47:58 | linuxstb | Seems like run-time detection of RTC would be more trouble. |

| 14:51:53 | tucoz | Slasheri: sure. but not at the moment. I just moved to a new apartment, and i wait for my internet connection to be set up |
| 14:51:55 | LinusN | and perhaps degrade the ds1339c variant to "optional" |
| 14:52:08 | Slasheri | you should try adding audiohw_reset() to the apps/main.c |
| 14:52:15 | amiconn | preglow: The bin for recorder8mb is as compressed as the normal recorder bin |
| 14:52:18 | Slasheri | do it just after the kernel init stuff and see if the problem is gone |
| 14:52:33 | Slasheri | if it works, that can be committed |
| 14:52:39 | amiconn | But the binaries aren't identical; there are a few special measures added for 8MB |
| 14:52:42 | roolku | LinusN: the startup problem with the ds1339c doesn't exist anymore |
| 14:53:22 | tucoz | ok. I can take my laptop to a friend some time later this week. I'll let you know if it helps |

| 14:53:52 | tucoz | yep |

| 14:55:24 | | Quit petur ("worrrrk") |
| 14:56:25 | roolku | Slasheri: well strictly speaking it only detects if there is an I2C device at that address, but the likelyhood of someone soldering in a temerature sensor with the same hardware address are minute |
| 14:56:40 | amiconn | preglow: There's an easy way to find out where the declarations and definitions are clashing: add __attribute__((long_call)) to ICODE_ATTR for arm and the try to compile... |

| 15:01:01 | pixelma | pondlife: there is but it is used as "resume" |

| 15:01:16 | LinusN | the main menu is not the parent of the root directory |
| 15:01:25 | pondlife | It's almost there now, surely that would be an improvment? |

| 15:01:56 | LinusN | i don't want to start over browsing from the root just because i have entered the main menu |
| 15:02:28 | LinusN | the browser is a separate component, which happens to be selectable from the main menu |
| 15:02:35 | LinusN | and from the wps |
| 15:02:50 | LinusN | and it remembers the position for convenience |
| 15:02:52 | pondlife | Darn it. I thought this was aimed at clearing up this mess. |
| 15:02:57 | LinusN | it is |
| 15:03:02 | LinusN | and it is no mess |
| 15:03:12 | LinusN | where is the mess? |
| 15:03:23 | pondlife | In my head I guess! |
| 15:03:39 | LinusN | we have finally gotten rid of the existing hierarchy |
| 15:03:47 | LinusN | and now we have a flat structure |
| 15:03:52 | pondlife | Hierarchies are good though |
| 15:03:55 | pondlife | IMHO |
| 15:04:13 | LinusN | not when you mix the file system hierarchy and the menu hierarchy |
| 15:04:28 | pondlife | It certainly looks like a hierarchy to the uninformed (i.e. me). |
| 15:04:42 | LinusN | i.e the main menu is not the parent of the root folder |
| 15:04:54 | pondlife | I understand that now, but didn't get that from using the UI |
| 15:05:38 | pondlife | I saw MENU -> root, PLAY -> WPS, STOP -> last place in a hierarchy. |
| 15:05:49 | LinusN | *but* i think Left-to-mainmenu is a bad thing in this |
| 15:06:05 | pondlife | Yes, very probably now. |
| 15:06:26 | LinusN | left-to-anything from the file root is a bad thing imnsho |
| 15:06:37 | pondlife | My main objection to left-to-WPS was for blind users, so you can be sure that an extra left won't go somewhere unvoiced. |
| 15:07:12 | pondlife | If the root IS regarded as a level above the browser, it works fine. Left at root does nothing I assume... |
| 15:07:19 | * | pondlife tries |
| 15:08:06 | pixelma | btw... don't know what I did wrong earlier but "stop" works as expected now |
| 15:08:15 | pondlife | I just can't get my head around the paradigm of this UI. |
| 15:08:25 | pondlife | Seems to be lots of bits glued together |
| 15:08:28 | markun | pondlife: then just wait till it's finished |
| 15:08:51 | preglow | pondlife: you're trying to think too much about it |

| 15:10:56 | LinusN | left-to-main-menu implies a hierarchy that doesn't exist |

| 15:12:51 | tick | LinusN: with the root menu, I'd say LEFT should NOT go to the root menu from the root dir. Before root menu I was for LET-to-WPS |

| 15:13:14 | preglow | LinusN: i disregard seconds completely, since i don't know how long a startup will take. so i just compare minutes and hours, and you've got ample time to switch rockbox off then on again before the current minute changes |
| 15:13:20 | LinusN | tick: full ack |
| 15:13:31 | Mikachu | preglow: maybe you can encode state in the second register? |
| 15:13:31 | preglow | but i guess i could do some kind of threshold based on the seconds value, but that might break nicely during a long dircache update |
| 15:13:41 | LinusN | preglow: surely it can't take a minute to boot? |
| 15:14:04 | preglow | LinusN: i don't know, i just know it can take long |
| 15:14:07 | LinusN | and couldn't you clear the rtc wakeup interrupt flag? |
| 15:14:09 | preglow | what with dircache, database, etc |
| 15:14:12 | tick | LinusN: b/c if we'd do this we'd make the user to feel the root menu as the parent of the root dir. Which is not the case. |

| 15:15:17 | preglow | LinusN: ah, right, i haven't actually checked the order yet, i just did a stupid assumption :) |

| 15:16:11 | Mikachu | Pill: look in the log |
| 15:16:15 | preglow | LinusN: rtc_init is called pretty quicly, so i guess i could do a threshold based on the seconds value |
| 15:16:19 | pondlife | LinusN: Sorry, phone rang. I agree that the left to menu makes it feel like a hierarchy. |
| 15:16:27 | LinusN | it currently does left-to-mainmenu |

| 15:16:47 | l33ch | btw..when I build bootloader from source codes is it only for iRiver H10 UMS .. not MTP ? I have MTP model ... coz when I put the new one on player it wrote some error and goes to emergency mode. |

| 15:17:29 | Mikachu | preglow: i may be completely confused about how it works, i meant the place you tell the rtc chip what second to wake up on |
| 15:17:48 | preglow | Mikachu: i can't put anything in that, then it becomes a valid wakeup time |
| 15:18:14 | Arathis | l33ch: 5/6 or 20 gb? |
| 15:18:20 | Mikachu | okay |
| 15:18:45 | preglow | but no, i'm leaning towards just putting in a seconds threshold now, and encoding the full date in the alarm register |
| 15:18:53 | l33ch | Arathis: 6GB |
| 15:18:53 | preglow | not just minute and hour with the rest marked as irrelevant as now |

| 15:20:05 | LinusN | preglow: full date is a good thing |
| 15:20:18 | Mikachu | preglow: you can't mark the seconds as irrelevant and still store something in them then, i guess? |

| 15:21:56 | preglow | rockbox has some already, just not usuable by me for this purpose, i think |
| 15:22:29 | Mikachu | preglow: could you save something in nvram.bin then? |
| 15:23:13 | l33ch | Arathis: I use this precompiled from that link ... but I wanted to try if new is working too coz I had problems with shutting down player ... now it looks working after upgrading to the latest firmware build. I go test another Theme maybe it was caused of it ;-) |
| 15:23:43 | TheSphinX^ | LinusN: : http://mitglied.lycos.de/djflib/rockbox/root_menu/menu-strukt.txt <- is there any false in it? |
| 15:24:02 | LinusN | TheSphinX^: it's a total mess |
| 15:24:04 | Mikachu | it looks even stranger now |
| 15:24:18 | Arathis | l33ch: When did you last update your bootloader? They were changed at the end january |
| 15:24:34 | TheSphinX^ | ok i try to let it look better in the browser, <3 notepad ^^ |
| 15:24:34 | preglow | Mikachu: i'm not too familiar with that |
| 15:24:37 | markun | TheSphinX^: what kind of font are you using? |
| 15:24:51 | markun | TheSphinX^: try one with fixed width in notepad |
| 15:24:53 | LinusN | TheSphinX^: it looks bad in my notepad too |
| 15:25:10 | markun | TheSphinX^: (like courier new or something) |
| 15:25:44 | amiconn | preglow: Maybe I don't understand the real problem, but shouldn't the fact that a valid wake-up time is set tell you that it woke up from alarm? |
| 15:26:16 | Mikachu | hm yeah, can't you just set the wake-up time to invalid after it matches once? |
| 15:26:20 | LinusN | TheSphinX^: btw, the fm and recording will not be accessible from the menu in the future |
| 15:26:27 | amiconn | I thought that the alarm wake-up disables alarm as about the first thing it does... |
| 15:26:46 | amiconn | So normally there shouldn't be a valid alarm time, only in the wake-up case |
| 15:26:59 | LinusN | TheSphinX^: there will be no duplicates |

| 15:28:43 | Mikachu | preglow: won't it work just as fine if you use a config setting for it instead? |
| 15:28:53 | preglow | Mikachu: it will, i'd rather just avoid it |
| 15:29:35 | LinusN | TheSphinX^: you can remove all links from the menu to the other screens |
| 15:29:39 | Mikachu | so if you leave the registers intact anyway, can't you just change the seconds field to mark that it's been triggered? |
| 15:29:51 | markun | TheSphinX^: what's 'root'? |
| 15:29:56 | Mikachu | like if it's :01 you want to trigger and if it's :02 you don't |

| 15:30:09 | LinusN | markun: i think "root" is the Root menu |

| 15:53:51 | LinusN | amiconn: it stops the playback |
| 15:54:32 | LinusN | ok, if you start playing in the database, turn it off and then resume, Select in WPS takes you to the file browser |
| 15:55:05 | LinusN | fair enough, i guess |
| 15:55:40 | LinusN | perhaps it should remember that it was in the database, but i wouldn't call it a showstopper |
| 15:57:02 | amiconn | I think rockbox should remember the last browser used for playlist creation. This way it could also store a pseudo path when the last browser was the db, and implement 'follow playlist' this way |
| 15:58:06 | pondlife | What does the SVN code do? |
| 15:58:28 | markun | pondlife: did you look at my pdf? |
| 15:58:30 | LinusN | amiconn: i agree |
| 15:58:31 | Llorean | amiconn: Follow Playlist in DB still wouldn't work. |
| 15:58:41 | pondlife | markun: No, where is it? |
| 15:58:43 | LinusN | pondlife: the svn code has only one browser |
| 15:59:01 | amiconn | Llorean: Why not? |
| 15:59:05 | markun | pondlife: http://130.89.160.166/rockbox/rockbox-structure2.pdf |
| 15:59:10 | Llorean | amiconn: What if you entered a "Genre" heading from the main DB, to insert a whole album, then left and entered an "Artist" one to see the whole list of artists, and inserted two more albums from there? |
| 15:59:37 | Llorean | How is it to know, from a filename, which series of filters you followed to get to that song in the database? |
| 15:59:47 | amiconn | Hmm, I think playlists created from the db should store db pseudo paths instead of filesystem paths |
| 16:00 |
| 16:00:02 | Llorean | Dynamic ones probably could/should. |
| 16:00:03 | LinusN | then the playlist code would be a nightmare |
| 16:00:18 | amiconn | why? |
| 16:00:47 | amiconn | The db->file mapping has to happen anyway at some point |
| 16:00:59 | amiconn | It's just that this point would be deferred |
| 16:01:13 | Llorean | amiconn: What about the Playlist Catalog then. Once you save them, they should become standard M3U, and then once those are loaded, they become un-followable again, right? |
| 16:01:26 | roolku | amiconn: since the path can change dynamically I don't think this is a good solution |
| 16:01:34 | LinusN | Llorean: yes, but playlists are not database related |
| 16:01:42 | preglow | LinusN: what would you say is a reasonable maximum time from alarm to rockbox start? 15 secs? |
| 16:01:47 | preglow | 10 would perhaps be more sane |
| 16:01:58 | preglow | LinusN: from alarm to rtc_init(), even |
| 16:02:00 | LinusN | preglow: 10 sounds fair |
| 16:02:08 | roolku | amiconn: for example you can have playcount in the path, which will move the song out of the playlist as soon as it is played |

| 16:09:31 | amiconn | ...because they use a 35 year offset to how the rtc chip is supposed to be used |
| 16:09:45 | markun | pondlife: I think it's more important what the patch should do, then what it actually does right now |
| 16:09:53 | pondlife | Yes |
| 16:09:55 | preglow | amiconn: ok, so i should use 2064 as "alarm disabled" year, then? |
| 16:10:06 | amiconn | Rockbox uses 36 years and at least gets leaps years right this way |
| 16:10:08 | pondlife | But it's about to be committed isn't it? I'm just testing. |
| 16:10:44 | pondlife | I know what I want the UI to be, and it's not happening... |
| 16:11:09 | amiconn | preglow: Not sure whether iriver of tests the alarm year at all. If it doesn't, the year shouldn't matter much |
| 16:11:20 | preglow | amiconn: indeed |
| 16:11:20 | amiconn | Iirc the rtc driver handles the special offset for h300 |
| 16:11:30 | preglow | it does |

| 16:24:56 | markun | GodEater: of course, with the GBSYSTEM.ZIP from the wiki you don't need the original firmware |
| 16:25:02 | Llorean | GodEater: I believe, the GBSYSTEM.ZIP from the install page actually requires 'dummies' of all the files the flash loader needs to detect other than the one file our bootloader replaces. |

| 16:40:54 | preglow | amiconn: they won't be included in the bss if i init them to zero, will they? |
| 16:40:59 | amiconn | So writing = 0; doesn't change anything in the binary, hence it should be done to make clear this variable is initialised |
| 16:41:27 | amiconn | They will, unless you use -fno-zero-initialized-in-bss |

| 16:49:49 | preglow | i've had server boxes that lasted four-five times that |
| 16:50:01 | Mikachu | you must have several local root exploits open with that much uptime |
| 16:50:07 | B4gder | so set back the time before you shutdown, so that you can advance it 84 days immediately after boot-up! ;-) |

| 16:52:22 | GodEater | "I want a l33t uptime" isn't going to cut it I think |
| 16:52:24 | markun | Mikachu: but how to connect the server to the UPS without taking the power off.. |
| 16:52:37 | Mikachu | just plug it in to the local power net |
| 16:52:38 | GodEater | it's only a desktop anyway |

| 17:12:58 | preglow | Kasperle: i believe there's a patch for it, but also having them in tags is a waste |
| 17:13:19 | Mikachu | the spec says the tag can refer to tags in other mp3 files, but i don't think anyone ever has implemented that :) |
| 17:13:21 | * | preglow now has better working ipod rtc alarm |
| 17:13:34 | Kasperle | preglow: <3 |
| 17:13:44 | preglow | bah, if they're going to depend on each other anyway, why not just keep it as an external file? |
| 17:14:07 | Llorean | Kasperle: Having them in-tag means you have multiple copies of the album art, one per song, for each album. |
| 17:14:21 | Mikachu | i don't know, maybe they were high when they made the spec. that would explain the bright coloured fish too |
| 17:14:24 | Kasperle | just wondering because i tagged a lot of mp3s to include album art (just used mp3tag in windows, which does that quite nicely) |
| 17:14:55 | Llorean | raphi: What do you mean by "fast/stable"? |

| 17:17:17 | linuxstb | raphi: It's simply that the CPU in the X5 can't handle it. |
| 17:17:21 | raphi | oppps, forgat that :-D the problem is also the a/V sync... |
| 17:17:24 | markun | raphi: videos will always have to be converted, even if we have support for other video codecs |

| 17:18:05 | raphi | but as i've seen on the box that it can even handle xvid... |
| 17:18:12 | raphi | I'm a little bit confused.. |
| 17:18:12 | linuxstb | raphi: When you encode your .mpg file, you need to reduce the fps. |

| 17:19:34 | Llorean | raphi: I believe the Xvid that the native firmware supports is something like 10fps? |
| 17:19:44 | linuxstb | According to the PluginMpegplayer page, the X5 can decode full-screen video at an average of 18fps, and wide-screen (160x96) video at 25fps. But those are just averages - during periods of high motion, the framerate will drop. |
| 17:20:07 | linuxstb | Although with more optimisation, those speeds should be increasable. |
| 17:20:08 | raphi | to be honest... I haven't really tried the original firmware :-D I preferred yours!! |
| 17:21:03 | linuxstb | raphi: But back to your original question, mpegplayer isn't a priority for anyone at the moment. |

| 17:36:24 | Llorean | Mikachu: I can see it as being 'playback' oriented since it depends on music being played and tags in files. |

| 17:36:31 | Llorean | Mikachu: But I don't think it's a Playback option |
| 17:36:33 | preglow | like replaygain |
| 17:37:05 | perl|work | no EQ, no replaygain, just crossfade and FLACs |
| 17:37:07 | linuxstb | perl|work: Which svn revision is your 0224 build? |
| 17:37:21 | Mikachu | i moved it to the sound menu in my tree i think |
| 17:37:34 | perl|work | linuxstb cant check now, at work |
| 17:37:43 | linuxstb | You don't have your player? |
| 17:37:57 | jhMikeS | perl|work: only between two FLAC files |
| 17:38:09 | Febs | Now that there is a separate "Settings" menu, does it make sense to have a "General settings" menu? |
| 17:38:11 | perl|work | jhMikeS all FLAC files, randomly |
| 17:38:26 | perl|work | curruption "scratchy" sound, half a second |
| 17:38:36 | perl|work | at the start of the next track usually |
| 17:38:56 | jhMikeS | only thing I did on the 23rd was fix an overflow issue on the spc codec echo |
| 17:39:02 | perl|work | linuxstbi have 0222 build on it |
| 17:39:54 | Llorean | Febs: I think most of us can agree, a significant reorganization could benefit everything under "Settings" now. |
| 17:40:26 | Llorean | Probably more categories than we had before, now that it's a nested menu. |
| 17:40:35 | |Rincewind| | Febs, I made a comment on the root menu with a suggestion for a way to get rid of general settings. It just has to wait until root menu is in |
| 17:40:52 | |Rincewind| | *on the root menu flyspray entry, i mean |
| 17:40:52 | perl|work | jhMikeS 0223 was OK |
| 17:41:00 | linuxstb | Llorean: Maybe introduce an "Advanced settings" menu... |
| 17:41:30 | Llorean | linuxstb: I think I'd still rather have all "Sound Settings" in one place, rather than some be classified as "Advanced" and hidden somewhere else. |
| 17:42:12 | linuxstb | Probably. I agree splitting things will just be annoying. |
| 17:42:21 | |Rincewind| | I thought it was agreed on that anything with "advanced" menues is not the way it should be done |
| 17:42:24 | jhMikeS | ok, so some time on the 24th ... probably 17:06 huh? |
| 17:42:36 | | Quit Criamos (Read error: 110 (Connection timed out)) |
| 17:42:46 | Llorean | linuxstb: An 'advanced' menu is an option, but I imagine it's not a necessary one. I guess time and discussion will tell. |
| 17:43:07 | Mikachu | one way to do it is have an advanced option and suddenly some more options show up in the regular sound menu |
| 17:43:22 | perl|work | jhMikeS what happened around 17:06? heh |
| 17:43:37 | * | amiconn thinks 'playback' is the proper place for both replaygain and crossfade |
| 17:43:45 | Llorean | Mikachu: Then it'd need to be disabled by default, so users aren't constantly asking where options are in the forums, in which case it's mostly pointless. |
| 17:43:47 | perl|work | i was checking log, i ignored your updates when i saw coldfire... |
| 17:43:52 | preglow | i think crossfade belongs in playback |
| 17:43:57 | preglow | but not replaygain |
| 17:43:59 | * | amiconn wonders how many features in rockbox he'll prbably never use |
| 17:44:01 | Llorean | amiconn: I think it is for Crossfade, but not Replaygain. |
| 17:44:52 | jhMikeS | think I know what it might be... I can revert one tiny two line change with no harm to anything and see |
| 17:44:54 | Llorean | Mentally, Replaygain is to me "track-specific EQ Precut" |
| 17:44:55 | preglow | amiconn: i wonder how many rockbox features i have coded that i'll never use |
| 17:44:55 | |Rincewind| | It would be nice to remove some entries from playback. There are about 15 in there, I think 10 items should be a max for one menu |

| 17:53:45 | Mikachu | preglow: it started and began playing music, when i rebooted it didn't resume, so it seems to be working |
| 17:54:26 | perl|work | jhMikeS its weird actually, when the fade out starts, the upcoming tracks has this corruption sound and the old one just stops right away |
| 17:54:32 | perl|work | hard to explain |
| 17:54:44 | preglow | Mikachu: it should work now, yes, despite the gigantic hack |
| 17:54:50 | preglow | Mikachu: it'll turn on again one time in 2099 :) |
| 17:54:55 | Mikachu | haha |
| 17:55:21 | preglow | i've put an comment to that effect in the source, so it's all good |
| 17:55:23 | Mikachu | will it start playing music at a set time even if rockbox is on? |
| 17:55:28 | preglow | no |
| 17:55:40 | Mikachu | would it be possible to detect the alarm triggered from inside rockbox? |
| 17:55:43 | preglow | the alarm is really supposed to shut rockbox down when you set it |
| 17:55:47 | preglow | but that doesn't happen for some reason |
| 17:55:50 | perl|work | jhMikeS my crossfade settings: 3, 4, 3, 6, crossfade |
| 17:55:52 | preglow | sure, possible it is |
| 17:56:04 | preglow | but it's not specified behaviour right now |
| 17:56:20 | preglow | if anyone with a 3g ipod would test the patch, i'd be happy |
| 17:56:28 | preglow | do we have any of those around? :> |
| 17:57:30 | * | Mikachu remembers to revert patch to avoid conflicts later |
| 17:57:46 | preglow | always a good idea |
| 17:57:49 | preglow | one i too seldom remember |
| 17:57:54 | jhMikeS | I changed something to have the dsp process the entire decoder chunk if it could but I crossfade applies the same volume level to any given chunk passed in |
| 17:59:03 | pondlife | Did anyone mention http://www.theregister.co.uk/2007/02/28/mp3_patent_suit/ ? |
| 17:59:47 | Llorean | pondlife: It's been discussed in the forums some, I suppose. |
| 18:00 |
| 18:00:04 | pondlife | Ah, ok |
| 18:00:05 | Kasperle | preglow: "wake-up alarm"? |
| 18:00:08 | Kasperle | is that it? |
| 18:00:48 | jhMikeS | bah...will double check on that anyway |
| 18:01:03 | Mikachu | Kasperle: yes |
| 18:01:20 | Llorean | pondlife: Actually, wait, different patent suit. |
| 18:01:29 | Kasperle | i guess i'll see what it does in 5 minutes ;) |
| 18:01:59 | |Rincewind| | Slasheri: I saw a bootloader commit in the svn log. Are the changes useful for iriver H1x0 with flashed [rock|rom]box? |
| 18:02:19 | pondlife | I thought so. This ones a bit more serious-looking. |
| 18:02:37 | jhMikeS | yep, I sure do get a little glitch doing 1s |
| 18:02:51 | Llorean | pondlife: Actually, this one's less serious looking, since it's on a hardware device only. |
| 18:02:56 | Llorean | pondlife: Less serious, for Rockbox, at least. |
| 18:03:27 | perl|work | jhMikeS so you figure out where it comes from? |
| 18:03:30 | Llorean | Since Rockbox does not include a screen, a battery, or a storage device, I think we don't fall under it. :) |
| 18:04:00 | | Part Llorean |
| 18:04:36 | jhMikeS | perl|work: well, can't be positive but I'll switch something back and see it is stops |
| 18:04:56 | perl|work | jhMikeS thanks for looking into it |
| 18:05:39 | Slasheri | |Rincewind|: those changes are useful, but not very urgent. So it's best to wait for the next official release of the bootloader v7 and then upgrade to it |
| 18:05:39 | Kasperle | ok |
| 18:05:39 | | Quit pondlife ("disconnected has pondlife") |
| 18:05:45 | Kasperle | so rockbox did wake up on my 5.5g |

| 18:07:50 | |Rincewind| | I want to update, but I am not certain about the steps |
| 18:07:50 | Slasheri | oh.. really? and you are still running rockbox from flash? |
| 18:08:16 | |Rincewind| | I haven't updated rockbox since rombox was commited. |
| 18:08:41 | |Rincewind| | but now I have time to do some programming again so I want to run a recent build |
| 18:08:42 | Slasheri | ok, but then i really suggest updating to the 7-pre3.. it contains plenty of fixes |
| 18:08:51 | Slasheri | and no patching is needed |

| 18:09:21 | Slasheri | just install the latest version of rockbox and copy that bootloader to /bootloader.iriver |
| 18:09:54 | Slasheri | then boot from disk, flash bootloader, .rockbox/rombox.iriver and /rockbox.iriver and reboot |
| 18:10:00 | jhMikeS | perl|work: that sure was the reason. the real problem is that it matters at all to the pcm buffer. |
| 18:10:08 | | Join inversions [0] (n=none@cpc3-bele3-0-0-cust660.belf.cable.ntl.com) |
| 18:10:11 | |Rincewind| | I read the wiki page and don't understand the bit about changing the boot sequence when installing a new build. |
| 18:10:14 | GodEater | mental note to self: when building new kernel, make sure to include drivers for the SATA bus. |
| 18:10:51 | |Rincewind| | it says I have to change the boot sequence everytime I install an new build. I imagine this is rather painful when programming... |
| 18:10:59 | Slasheri | |Rincewind|: it's easy, that menu will automatically show after first boot. And can be switched off with hold switch during boot |
| 18:11:04 | Kasperle | preglow: that's pretty nice, two things come to mind, though: 1: if the ipod is on hold, it will boot the original firmware with the current bootloader, 2) is there a way to have it use the piezo to make some noise when it wakes up from rtc? |
| 18:11:06 | Slasheri | no, you don't |
| 18:11:47 | Slasheri | normally there is no need to change the boot sequence. But if you do a lot of debugging, you might want to change it to boot from disk temporarely |
| 18:11:52 | perl|work | jhMikeS aha |
| 18:12:05 | |Rincewind| | that makes sense |
| 18:12:36 | markun | Slasheri: there are some plans to flash a rockbox bootloader to the Gigabeat. Do you think I should extend iriver_flash copy it to a new plugin? |
| 18:12:39 | | Quit Rondom ("Ex-Chat") |
| 18:12:44 | |Rincewind| | so when I have the boot loader and rombox installed, in the future I just copy the new build to the player, Rolo and flash again? |
| 18:12:47 | Slasheri | and when running rockbox for longer time without upgrading/programming, it might be the best choice to run rombox (the hardest one to upgrade) |
| 18:13:17 | Slasheri | markun: hmm, it depends how much that code needs changing |
| 18:13:22 | |Rincewind| | why is rombox hard to upgrade? |
| 18:13:29 | Slasheri | if it needs major changes, then new plugin would be the best |
| 18:13:30 | jhMikeS | perl|work: I'll undo the change and test again too see that it comes back since if that's the "fix" it should |
| 18:14:05 | Slasheri | |Rincewind|: it's not "hard" but you need to load rockbox explicitly from disk or upgrading it isn't possible |
| 18:14:31 | |Rincewind| | ok, makes sense, if I think about it. Cant upgrade running code |
| 18:14:38 | amiconn | Slasheri: Just rolo should do, shouldn't it? |
| 18:14:39 | Slasheri | yep |
| 18:14:46 | Slasheri | amiconn: that should do it too |
| 18:15:12 | amiconn | That's the recommended sequence on archos when upgrading flashed rockbox |
| 18:15:39 | amiconn | With flashed rockbox.ucl rolo is recommended, with rombox.ucl it's required |
| 18:16:27 | |Rincewind| | Ok, I try it. Thanks Slasheri! |

| 18:26:44 | BigBambi | I think you said something before about the ADC not settling in time being a possibility |
| 18:26:47 | jhMikeS | I thinking it should compare the header checksums really to be reliable |
| 18:27:01 | Slasheri | jhMikeS: indeed |
| 18:27:01 | BigBambi | Did you change the wait time in 7pre3 compared to 6 |
| 18:27:18 | Slasheri | BigBambi: yes, i removed it |
| 18:27:23 | endor | would anyone be able to direct me to something to read about disassembling firmware compiled on sigmatel chip? which program would I use for that? is there any information about this? |
| 18:27:24 | |Rincewind| | hm, firefox doesn't want to save bootloader.iriver either it shows garbage on screen or wants to save with the name IrriverFlashing.htm |

| 18:29:13 | Slasheri | BigBambi: hmm.. but i am sure that will be fixed for the v7 at least. Or probably i could do 7pre4 too and it upgrading to it would be optional |
| 18:29:18 | |Rincewind| | I'm on ubuntu linux |
| 18:29:57 | Slasheri | |Rincewind|: hmm.. try konqueror if you have KDE installed |
| 18:30:05 | Slasheri | or just wget the file |
| 18:30:07 | BigBambi | Slasheri: I don't mind about a pre4 - I wanted to use 7 mainly for the voltage readout in bootlader USB. I would of course prefer it fixed in 7 release :) |
| 18:30:26 | |Rincewind| | I try wget. Just have to remember the syntax... |
| 18:30:36 | Slasheri | BigBambi: hehe :) |

| 18:41:58 | Slasheri | i would be more worried if that feature would eat something over 30-50 kB |
| 18:42:35 | Slasheri | it's still very useful for those who have did the mod |
| 18:42:46 | Slasheri | and probably encourages more people to do it too |
| 18:43:03 | bluebrother | how are plugins handled that use the rtc? Like the clock? |
| 18:43:29 | roolku | bluebrother: they get a constant time |
| 18:43:44 | |Rincewind| | the iriver_flash plugin says "Erasing 101%" not very comforting... |

| 18:45:01 | roolku | bluebrother: what would be the best way to include it in the manual? |
| 18:46:23 | bluebrother | roolku: I think adding it to some appendix. |
| 18:46:43 | bluebrother | if a user does the mod he is somewhat experienced ... at least we should safely assume that |
| 18:47:19 | bluebrother | so the clock plugin is now build for h100 series? |

| 18:48:07 | |Rincewind| | ok, the flashing worked. Nice to have 300kb more audio buffer. |
| 18:48:25 | roolku | bluebrother: maybe the rtc related stuff could be included as with the other targets, but with a big red warning that a hardware mod is required? |
| 18:48:37 | bluebrother | sounds reasonable |
| 18:48:57 | bluebrother | I thought about improving the html output ... someone gimme some time! |
| 18:49:13 | roolku | bluebrother: how is it done with the alarm clock mod for Archos? |

| 19:01:39 | saratoga | for the ipods, whats the purpose of the bootloader builds? |
| 19:01:49 | saratoga | i thought the ipodpatcher tool installed the bootloader |
| 19:02:03 | | Join webtaz [0] (n=taz@p5081A50B.dip0.t-ipconnect.de) |
| 19:02:23 | bluebrother | but the bootloader itself need to be build |
| 19:02:25 | saratoga | (i'm thinking of the -Boot builds on http://build.rockbox.org/) |
| 19:02:53 | saratoga | so it just displays the status of the bootloader and core builds seperately? |
| 19:02:55 | bluebrother | ah. To make sure they build clean? |
| 19:03:21 | bluebrother | if not build with the others it would be hard to find when they get broken accidentally |
| 19:03:33 | bluebrother | the same applies e.g. for the iriver bootloaders |
| 19:03:45 | saratoga | ah ok |
| 19:03:58 | bluebrother | you usually install only a released bootloader as the iriver series can get messed up even worse than the ipods |
| 19:04:00 | saratoga | was thinking they were seperate builds for some reason |
| 19:04:11 | saratoga | didn't realize they go into the same .zip |
| 19:04:27 | bluebrother | I don't think they do |
| 19:04:44 | * | amiconn would think the rtc mod should be disabled by default |
| 19:04:45 | bluebrother | you usually install a bootloader that got released, i.e. put on the download page |
| 19:04:46 | Bagder | no, the bootloaders aren't provided as zips from build.rockbox.org |
| 19:04:59 | amiconn | No other mod is enabled by default in the builds |
| 19:05:03 | preglow | this one is :) |
| 19:05:16 | bluebrother | it's similar to the sims: they are also build regularly but you can't download them |
| 19:05:17 | preglow | we've got space to burn, why bother about another set of builds just for 6kb? |
| 19:05:36 | amiconn | preglow: E.g. because it has other implications that just the 6K |
| 19:05:45 | preglow | amiconn: which are that? |
| 19:06:10 | |Rincewind| | how much space does the iriver flash have btw? |
| 19:06:28 | * | Slasheri isn't suprised to what amiconn thinks ;) |
| 19:06:33 | bluebrother | 4MiB iirc |
| 19:06:40 | amiconn | A few minutes earlier.... e.g. the clock plugin is now built for h1x0... and documenting a feature that isn't available for >99% of all H1x0s is ugly to say the least |
| 19:07:19 | Slasheri | |Rincewind|: 2 MiB |
| 19:07:21 | bluebrother | I agree |
| 19:07:25 | Slasheri | H300 has 4 |
| 19:07:27 | amiconn | It's one more thing to confuse unexperienced users... and users up to doing the mod should also be up to building with the option enabled |
| 19:07:32 | * | bluebrother stands corrected |
| 19:07:52 | |Rincewind| | 2 mb and has to hold rockbox, rombox and dircache, right? |
| 19:07:55 | amiconn | There are several other mods which are all disabled by default |
| 19:08:29 | Slasheri | |Rincewind|: just bootloader, rockbox and rombox |
| 19:08:32 | amiconn | Alarm mod for recorder v1, 8MB (somewhat special case), backlight for Ondio, autorock... |
| 19:08:45 | preglow | amiconn: true |
| 19:09:02 | |Rincewind| | I thought with flashed rockbox the dircache hibernates? |
| 19:09:11 | Slasheri | |Rincewind|: bootloader is 64 KiB fixed, rambox and rombox has both about 1 MiB |
| 19:09:42 | Slasheri | |Rincewind|: yes, but it hibernates on disk |
| 19:09:52 | |Rincewind| | ah ok |
| 19:09:54 | Slasheri | flash is not big enoug to hold that |
| 19:10:09 | bluebrother | btw, as we're about restructuring some menus: what do you guys think about my last patch for organizing the plugins folder in FS #5464? |
| 19:10:19 | pixelma | just make it a simple define to uncomment like it is for backlight modded Ondio? I think that's pretty handy |
| 19:10:42 | | Quit webtaz (Read error: 60 (Operation timed out)) |
| 19:10:47 | * | |Rincewind| thinks how cool it would be to have his favorite plugins load from flash |
| 19:11:13 | Slasheri | |Rincewind|: or just preload them to ram? :) |
| 19:11:28 | |Rincewind| | that would be nice, too |
| 19:11:35 | amiconn | Slasheri: The fact that there are plenty of resources still doesn't justify wasting them |
| 19:11:52 | Slasheri | amiconn: indeed, but i don't think that is a waste though |
| 19:11:54 | |Rincewind| | but not all of them, just the 3 or 4 that I use regularly |
| 19:11:57 | amiconn | Bloatware is the domain of some other software company... |
| 19:12:08 | preglow | all others? |
| 19:12:19 | amiconn | Surely not |
| 19:12:23 | preglow | almost all others |
| 19:12:24 | Slasheri | that is still a major feature to some users (and growing number of them) |
| 19:12:24 | preglow | haha |
| 19:13:03 | amiconn | Slasheri: Sure, and I'm not saying that the feature should be removed |
| 19:13:42 | amiconn | It should just be disabled for official builds, easily enabled by users experienced enough to do the mod |
| 19:13:53 | pixelma | but honestly - I think people who do the mod should be able to compile... it's not that hard |
| 19:14:19 | amiconn | I still wonder why the 8MB builds are provided explicitly, imho they shouldn't |
| 19:14:45 | amiconn | ...for the same reasons I just stated regarding the other mods |

| 19:22:19 | saratoga | using -d to remove it and then reinstalling does not help |
| 19:22:39 | pixelma | |Rincewind|: and confuse all the others with that? |
| 19:24:30 | |Rincewind| | well, who is confused? People who don't care had a feature they didn't use and the next update it is gone again. Modders who don't want to compile can use the build from this date or use the REP, where it will be activated, I am sure |
| 19:24:42 | bluebrother | |Rincewind|: I don't see any use of that −− modders can enable it themselve and how do you ensure all modders get the build this day? |
| 19:25:05 | |Rincewind| | well, they had there chance and there are the archives |
| 19:25:16 | pixelma | |Rincewind|: the clock plugin won't go away when updating (unless they delete it) |
| 19:25:18 | |Rincewind| | *their |
| 19:25:27 | bluebrother | if the REP will enable it I don't see any reason why those guys can't wait a couple of more days until that gets updated |
| 19:25:39 | |Rincewind| | I know about the clock, but there is nothing that can be done about that now. |
| 19:25:59 | bluebrother | the svn builds aren't archived. And having a mod in the daily archive would be even worse IMO |

| 19:30:22 | perl|work | how long is your file and how many tracks are in it? |
| 19:30:34 | amiconn | I ripped about the only album I have where .cue would make sense if rockbox wouldn't support gapless anyway |

| 19:32:26 | bluebrother | and how are the tags handled if it's a single entry? They "simply" change? |
| 19:32:32 | amiconn | perl|work: It's "enable the option, *reboot*, then use it" |
| 19:32:56 | * | bluebrother should get something with cue file |
| 19:32:59 | perl|work | single entry, you see the track marks on the progress bar and can skip through the tracks, each track tags are being showed |
| 19:33:04 | jhMikeS | preglow: when you think low latency for playback output, what magnitude comes to mind for time? I have it fairly well worked out by now. |
| 19:34:10 | preglow | jhMikeS: hmm, would have to try, 100ms? |
| 19:34:18 | preglow | jhMikeS: how would you go about it? |
| 19:34:36 | jhMikeS | multichannel with automatic envelopes. probably a thread to do the work |
| 19:35:04 | preglow | automatical envelopes? eh? |
| 19:35:16 | preglow | i mean how would you handle the actual low-latency part? |
| 19:35:33 | preglow | and where does envelopes fit in? |
| 19:36:13 | jhMikeS | the dsp processes the channels, sums them, and then sends them to DMA...so the part between the DSP and DMA is the latency |
| 19:36:42 | jhMikeS | 100ms should be an eternity. |
| 19:36:46 | preglow | so you're moving dsp to the very latest part of the chain |
| 19:37:01 | amiconn | .cue support doesn't work at all on archos |
| 19:37:02 | jhMikeS | Auto envelopes come in with fading |
| 19:37:02 | preglow | i expect you'll have trouble making some people accept the pcm buffer should be 32 bit :> |
| 19:37:21 | jhMikeS | The upstream part won't have to be...it can be codec depth |
| 19:37:23 | amiconn | Neither do the trackmarks appear, nor is it possible to skip between them |
| 19:37:33 | preglow | jhMikeS: well, yes, 32 bits |
| 19:37:45 | jhMikeS | for the most part but not a requirement |
| 19:37:53 | preglow | i guess |
| 19:37:57 | preglow | well, sounds like pure gold to me |
| 19:38:31 | jhMikeS | Four channels: codec1, codec2, voice, beep. beep doesn't need to take buffer space though |
| 19:38:34 | preglow | gonna see if i have time to do some arm resampler work today |

| 19:44:03 | jhMikeS | I guess the pcm buffer would reduce to a simple queue with a few chunks for DMA to send out |
| 19:44:35 | preglow | but yeah, 100ms should be an enternity in that regard |
| 19:44:59 | preglow | but you really don't need lower latencies than that unless you're performing or something |
| 19:45:01 | preglow | and need quick feedback |
| 19:45:04 | preglow | but lower is better :) |

| 19:51:28 | amiconn | *100ms |
| 19:51:35 | jhMikeS | it comes to mind that a lot of hacks will disappear. just shove data in the channel and the channel starts |
| 19:51:42 | amiconn | Should be <30ms to be unnoticeable afaik |
| 19:51:52 | preglow | amiconn: sure, i think even 100ms will do very nice |
| 19:52:01 | preglow | amiconn: and in any case be a massive improvement on what we have now |

| 19:55:24 | amiconn | The cuesheet viewer works, but nothing else |
| 19:55:37 | jhMikeS | all this crossfade stuff will be basically as simple as switching the input channel for the codec and applying envelopes |
| 19:56:33 | jhMikeS | exact same mechanism for fade in/out |
| 19:57:03 | jhMikeS | and if I feed like being fancy, soft muting for channels starts and stops |
| 19:57:43 | * | amiconn prefers to stay fade-free |
| 19:57:57 | amiconn | But yeah, there are other advantages |
| 19:57:57 | preglow | then you don't need to enable fades |
| 19:58:09 | preglow | i don't like long fades, but short ones would be good |
| 19:58:10 | preglow | 50ms |
| 19:58:16 | preglow | no clicks on pause, that way |
| 19:58:24 | preglow | also, this way we can do fades when voice clips occur |
| 19:59:04 | jhMikeS | won't matter...every channel should have a volume control and mute ... a mixing board really |
| 19:59:46 | amiconn | Every channel meaning every single channel, or a stereo pair? |

| 20:17:46 | bluebrother | austriancoder: we talked about that a bit earlier today. Sounds a bit like you want to have some binary skins ... |
| 20:18:14 | austriancoder | bluebrother: ah.. will check the logs.. yes binary skins |
| 20:18:28 | jhMikeS | preglow: what do suggest, if soft muting is implemented, to do when the mute runs passed available data? it'll probably have to synthesize something there. finish with the last sample value? |
| 20:18:32 | bluebrother | I don't see any advantages in binary skins |
| 20:19:02 | bluebrother | I'd rather use a more powerful markup like the current wps does |
| 20:19:07 | austriancoder | bluebrother: you can abstract the way everything is drawn in rockbox.. menus link on the original sansa firmware are possible |
| 20:19:32 | preglow | jhMikeS: why would you want to be able to do them in any order? |
| 20:19:46 | bluebrother | but do we want that much abstraction? I like it pretty much RB looks similar on all devices |
| 20:20:22 | austriancoder | bluebrother: even with compiled skins.. rockbox will look the same on every target, which uses the skin |
| 20:20:37 | markun | austriancoder: I think it's a good idea to separate the UI from the rest of rockbox |
| 20:20:48 | bluebrother | and that would work with different screen sizes? |
| 20:21:17 | pixelma | bluebrother: about the root menu comment - that was also discussed here earlier - the outcome was the it couldn't work (at least without sanity check) because the user can set radio, recording etc. as start screen |

| 20:22:11 | bluebrother | pixelma: I thought about that too. But if a user sets recording as startup screen I don't see a problem |
| 20:22:14 | austriancoder | bluebrother: it should be possible to give relative sizes and positions |
| 20:22:25 | bluebrother | only for resuming. But I overlooked that ;-) |
| 20:22:48 | jhMikeS | preglow: at the very least upsteam or downstream resampling but the design might allow it anyway and be simpler for it |
| 20:22:57 | bluebrother | austriancoder: how should that work with the current fixed fonts? |

| 20:24:14 | | Quit dmdfan (Read error: 145 (Connection timed out)) |
| 20:24:22 | austriancoder | bluebrother: fonts.. a nice subtopic... as every skin can define the used font on its own. It can use rockboxs installed fonts or may ship one with the skin |
| 20:25:13 | austriancoder | markun: I also think that seperation UI from general rockbox code give a cleaner code |

| 20:35:23 | preglow | so long i've just got nano |
| 20:35:40 | |Rincewind| | i'm just asking how far the skin goes, if it provides more then just visuals for the standard screens, then the skin doesn't need buttons. but if the skin can define some fancy screens as well... |

| 20:36:17 | |Rincewind| | argh, my logic is skrewed again |
| 20:37:07 | austriancoder | ok guys.. so i think you need a proof-of-concept to get convinced - or? |
| 20:37:33 | bluebrother | don't guess that will convince me ... |
| 20:37:39 | bluebrother | but feel free to try ;-) |
| 20:39:50 | markun | austriancoder: perhaps it would be a good start to split the UI and keep the old interface |
| 20:39:50 | markun | if it keep rockbox nice and simple you can start on your own interface |
| 20:41:05 | jhMikeS | the idea of switching the hw samplerate is a bit bothersome. On coldfire output FIFOs are supposed to be in a reset state before touching the IISCONFIG clock bits. This hasn't been the case though since I arrived on the scene. |
| 20:42:13 | austriancoder | markun: yeah.. i will do a a simple proof-of-concept on one of the screens |
| 20:42:50 | markun | jhMikeS: and what about changing the samplerate because a song is changing but some of the other channels are also playing.. |

| 20:44:13 | amiconn | ah |
| 20:44:29 | jhMikeS | markun: exactly |
| 20:44:35 | amiconn | Nico_P: I tested .cue support on archos... and apart from the cuesheet viewer it doesn't work at all |
| 20:44:38 | jhMikeS | preglow: clicks |
| 20:45:06 | preglow | jhMikeS: clicks when you change sample rate? so what? you shouldn't be playing anything while you do it anyway |
| 20:45:21 | preglow | changing sample rate is never supposed to be a glitch free happening |
| 20:46:05 | Nico_P | amiconn: how so ? |
| 20:46:06 | markun | jhMikeS: and can the channels have different samplerates? |
| 20:46:07 | jhMikeS | preglow: that's why I hate it. it puts so many restrictions on things. late dsp would help though |
| 20:46:15 | Nico_P | it crashes ? |
| 20:46:20 | amiconn | Nico_P: No trackmarks and no skipping possible |
| 20:46:32 | Nico_P | amiconn: have you enabled it in the settings ? |
| 20:46:35 | amiconn | yes |
| 20:46:48 | amiconn | I tried it on H140 first, to check how it should look |
| 20:46:49 | jhMikeS | markun: they'd be filled with data at whatever the codec gives it |
| 20:46:52 | preglow | jhMikeS: how would late dsp help? |
| 20:47:11 | amiconn | The track marks made the progress bar look weird in my test case |
| 20:47:12 | jhMikeS | preglow: because we apply the needed resampling just before sending to DMA |
| 20:47:18 | Nico_P | amiconn: i'll try on a sim... what archos model do you have ? |
| 20:47:23 | amiconn | Recorder |
| 20:47:37 | Nico_P | amiconn: wierd how ? |
| 20:47:38 | amiconn | But I doubt that you can test on the sim - hwcodec playback isn't simulated |
| 20:48:12 | amiconn | Nico_P: 36 non-equally spaced marks on a 160 pixel wide bar do look weird... |
| 20:48:12 | markun | jhMikeS: it's maybe not ideal, but what about setting the target samplerate manually? |
| 20:48:55 | Nico_P | amiconn: i can imagine that :p |
| 20:49:01 | jhMikeS | markun: you mean as in a user option? what I'd hope is that DSP is applied on the lowest load side of things. |
| 20:49:05 | amiconn | Nico_P: The hwcodec playback engine is separate from the swcodec one. It's not even in apps/ |
| 20:49:25 | linuxstb | It just sounds like the cuefile is never read... |
| 20:49:34 | amiconn | yes |
| 20:49:46 | Nico_P | yes that's probably the problem |
| 20:49:49 | amiconn | But I don't really understand hwo and where that's supposed to happen |
| 20:49:57 | amiconn | *how |
| 20:50:36 | linuxstb | It will be in the get_metadata() function - this is the (swcodec only!) function which reads the metadata from a file before it's loaded into the audio buffer. |
| 20:50:41 | Nico_P | amiconn: in principle, it happens at the same time as the loading of the track |
| 20:50:47 | jhMikeS | a good thing is that this should work with current playback and any revision of it and is something I'd like in place before changing all that stuff. |
| 20:51:00 | linuxstb | It's in apps/metadata.c |
| 20:51:24 | amiconn | Hmm |
| 20:51:39 | amiconn | metadata.o is now present in the archos builds, but afaik it isn't supposed to be |

| 21:51:12 | bluebrother | don't know ... maybe you'll need to svn remove them at some point again ;-) |
| 21:51:46 | obo | pixelma: I don't know why it's broken on Archos units - one user reported that it had worked intermittently, but it seems to be a problem with a callback within the HWCODEC (mpeg.c) code |
| 21:51:53 | linuxstb | I can't imagine what kind of side-effects you're worried about. |
| 21:51:57 | |Rincewind| | well, I am starting with a fresh source tree quite often anyway. I give it a try |

| 21:52:31 | x1jmp | and how to create a patch from an already patched source? |
| 21:53:19 | pixelma | obo: that's why I wanted to find out what happened. I first thought it could have to do mith the fact that I watched the playlist almost at creation (or right after) but couldn't reproduce it so far |
| 21:53:25 | |Rincewind| | x1jmp: svn diff > patchfile.patch |
| 21:54:12 | x1jmp | |Rincewind|: that would include the already applied patch as well |

| 21:54:32 | markun | x1jmp: you can edit the patch |
| 21:54:42 | linuxstb | x1jmp: Or revert the first patch. |
| 21:54:44 | bluebrother | or try patch -R first |
| 21:55:07 | obo | pixelma: I wish I had more info - without a unit to hand it's a bit hard to tell what is going on. I had a couple of people try debug builds for me - they didn't get any log entries whilst testing |
| 21:55:41 | bluebrother | i.e. reverting the patch first |
| 21:55:41 | pixelma | obo: the funny thing is that the revision that the log states is the same as the last commit that had to do with the scrobbler log (the callback thing) - I even installed this one again but to no avail |
| 21:55:41 | markun | I think it's a good idea anyway to check the patch with and editor, in case it includes some unwanted changes |
| 21:56:58 | x1jmp | reverting wouldn't help as I want to create a patch based on another patch/source |
| 21:57:21 | * | amiconn is totally confused about this cue sheet patch |
| 21:57:42 | amiconn | How is the wps supposed to trigger a sub-track change, as opposed to a normal track change? |
| 21:57:58 | | Part Llorean |
| 21:58:07 | |Rincewind| | x1jmp: you have patched your source with a few patches and want to create a patch with all of the changes? |
| 21:58:53 | XavierGr | *sigh* I can't really believe that I missed an F40 sold for 50 bucks last week in ebay... |
| 21:59:02 | pixelma | obo: is this debug build the one in the tracker? Maybe I could play around with it for a while |
| 21:59:04 | x1jmp | |Rincewind|: just like a 'diff patched_source new_patched_source' |
| 21:59:25 | pixelma | obo: or the patch to build it on my own |
| 21:59:52 | obo | pixelma: I think I put it in the tracker, but I've been away for a couple of weeks, and have a memory like a sieve - one sec... |
| 21:59:54 | |Rincewind| | I use emacs for this, the command is ediff-directories |
| 22:00 |
| 22:00:35 | * | x1jmp is not familiar with emacs, just vim |
| 22:00:58 | markun | XavierGr: damn! |
| 22:01:29 | |Rincewind| | ediff-directories compares two source trees and gives you the differences between them |
| 22:01:50 | linuxstb | x1jmp: Personally, I would produce a patch including all changes - I don't like patches which depend on other patches. But if you want to, just diff two copies of the rockbox source - diff -ru version1/ version2/ |
| 22:02:01 | obo | pixelma: yup, FS #6639 - it only really debugs the scrobbler code - it needs something in mpeg.c instead to find out what is going wrong |
| 22:02:52 | | Join printfXh4 [0] (n=pseudo@ppp109-233.lns2.bne4.internode.on.net) |
| 22:03:24 | x1jmp | linuxstb: that's what I used once, but it's nasty to copy the whole rockbox tree all the time |
| 22:04:01 | linuxstb | You only have to do it once. You just apply the patch to it, then reverse it. |
| 22:05:49 | * | amiconn *guesses* the cuesheet callback would need to be hooked somewhere in add_track_to_tag_list() |
| 22:06:30 | x1jmp | Though everytime I do an svn up the other tree must be updated, too |
| 22:06:44 | pixelma | obo: so you are saying that this patch won't help you with debugging? |

| 22:07:49 | |Rincewind| | x1jmp: then you have to do the svn up in the other tree, too |
| 22:07:56 | amiconn | ghah |
| 22:08:31 | |Rincewind| | you can write a short script to do that if you plan to have this situtation longer |
| 22:08:40 | obo | pixelma: it make me think the error is in the Archos playback engine - I'm not that familar with that code, and I don't really know where to go from here |
| 22:10:12 | pixelma | which again leads to "playback engine unification" ;) |

| 22:15:43 | Nico_P | amiconn: to know if there has been a change of "subtrack", i compare the elapsed time and the indexes of the current track and the next |
| 22:15:58 | Nico_P | it's done in update() in gwps-common.c |
| 22:17:01 | Nico_P | on line 2613 |
| 22:17:13 | linuxstb | x1jmp: I don't think the root menu part of your patch is svn material though - none of the other viewers get that special treatment. |
| 22:17:23 | amiconn | No, I mean how does the wps tell the engine to change sub tracks? |
| 22:18:52 | Nico_P | amiconn: i don't get what you mean |
| 22:19:05 | Nico_P | when the users presses NEXT or PREV ? |
| 22:19:09 | amiconn | yes |
| 22:19:32 | Nico_P | it's handled in gwps.c IIRC |
| 22:20:29 | | Quit FOAD ("Lost terminal") |
| 22:20:50 | amiconn | hmm? |
| 22:20:50 | x1jmp | linuxstb: ATM the root menu part is just a personal preference |
| 22:21:21 | amiconn | The only code in gwps.c that was added with cue sheet support seems to suppress directory changes when playing a track with cue sheet |

| 22:24:35 | jhMikeS | that's gigabeat S would be nice to get working ... 532MHz ... hrm |
| 22:25:28 | preglow | my, how overkill |
| 22:25:45 | amiconn | Ok, so it seems most things are handled by gwps... but the cue sheet isn't loaded on archos, because archos doesn't use get_metadata() afaiu |
| 22:25:50 | jhMikeS | preglow: sounds good to me. can't wait for something 1GHz |
| 22:26:31 | jhMikeS | has an FPU too |
| 22:26:39 | preglow | would simplify my life a good deal |
| 22:26:54 | amiconn | Metadata loading on archos seems to happen in add_track_to_tag_list() which in turn calls mp3info() directly |
| 22:27:21 | amiconn | No need to handle other things than just id3 tags here (yet) |

| 22:31:17 | Soap | preglow: How about I send you a iPod line-in dock connector, and in linuxstb's words "answer the line-in recording question once and for all." |
| 22:31:26 | preglow | it would take the fun away from achieving things on limited hardware, but it also allows you to do stuff you can't on limited hardware |
| 22:31:47 | preglow | Soap: haha, i'm really not interested in ipod recording at all |
| 22:32:19 | preglow | does nano even do line in? |
| 22:32:19 | linuxstb | preglow: It's just that no-one has tested line-in recording on the nano, so it would be nice to know if it works. |
| 22:32:26 | preglow | oh, right |
