#rockbox log for 2007-02-28

00:00:08pixelmadan_a: do you want another hwcodec tester too?
00:00:25dan_apixelma: The more the merrier!
00:00:26linuxstb_Does the patch affect code-size on single-core targets?
00:00:45dan_alinuxstb_: Yes - it should shrink the core by about 100bytes
00:01:08linuxstb_How do you manage that? Did you add extra code in the past, just so you can remove it and gain points?
00:01:32dan_aYes - I waited until there was a table I could get green points on!
00:01:54linuxstb_Cunning.
00:03:33LinusNdan_a: what an odd patch, you don't use svn?
00:03:53LinusNdan_a: 2 failed hunks
00:04:16dan_aLinusN: I use git for local development, because branches are really easy to do so I can work on 10 different things at once
00:04:43LinusNi use 10 repos for that
00:04:48dan_aI bet the failed hunks are the change I've just posted
00:04:59LinusNmain.c and config.h
00:05:06preglowdan_a: sounds clever
00:05:07dan_aI wanted to save bandwidth on the SVN server
00:05:15preglowi also want to have loads of repos, but i don't have space for ten checkouts
00:05:29dan_aI'll update the patch
00:05:55LinusNgood
00:06:31pixelmadan_a: the 3g build has some red...

00:18:57 Quit Everybody ("( www.nnscript.de :: NoNameScript 4.02 :: www.XLhost.de )")
00:19:00pixelmabut I'm not sure if it was his reason
00:19:12Lloreanpixelma: Well, by "play" I refer to the "resume playback and/or re-enter the WPS button"
00:19:44pixelmaok.. then I don't know
00:19:50LloreanRather than the button specifically marked "play", it just so happens to align with the play button on most of the targets I own.
00:19:54LloreanI suppose I should refer to it as "resume"
00:20:08LloreanBasically, I seem to recall there being a good reason not to resume from the menus, but can't recall it right now.

02:18:44preglowheh
02:19:31linuxstbheh?
02:19:43pearldiveri see his changed for coldfire
02:19:50pearldiverchanges*
02:20:13preglowlinuxstb: not surprising, is all
02:20:23linuxstbI think they affected all targets, but he also added coldfire optimisations.
02:20:32pearldiverah
02:21:57linuxstbBut I've only heard a glitch once, all the other transitions since that one have been fine.
02:21:58pearldivertrying 0223
02:23:20preglowthe bootloader does a shitload of writing to the pcf
02:24:00linuxstbOff-topic question, but does anyone know why I can't email a sourceforge mailing list I'm the admin for? My emails just disappear, they don't even appear in the admin interface...
02:24:19preglowsourceforge for you
02:24:26XavierGrbah iriver H300 bootloader won't let me scramble it onto the final H300.hex file
02:24:33XavierGrit says incorrect file size
02:25:30linuxstbI seem to recall someone saying it's now too big...

02:26:44preglowbootloader digging is more fun when stuff starts to trickel out

02:27:17XavierGrbut I will have to wait... even if I want to I can't flash it right now, the scramble tool just won't let me to do it
02:27:33pearldiveralso, it takes like 4 seconds for EQ to kick in while playing FLAC?
02:28:00preglowpearldiver: it always does that unless you've spent some time in the eq screen
02:28:01pearldiverlinuxstb 0224 is where it all starts
02:28:13pearldiverthe corruption
02:28:45pearldiverpreglow but if i just do EQ on / off, same?
02:28:45pixelmahmm... seems like no one has corrected Björn Stenberg in onplay.h (for Kate ...err... JdGordon ;) ) so far but I'm about to leave...
02:29:04LloreanXavierGr: For the H300 and H100 it's not wise to compile your own bootloader.
02:29:24linuxstbpixelma: OK, I'll do it.
02:29:50ShaidKate?
02:30:25Mikachuan apparently not perfect text editor
02:30:29linuxstbHmm, it looks fine to me - iso8859-1 encoded like all the other files...
02:31:22pixelmaonplay.c
02:31:52linuxstbAh yes, plus main.c, screens.c and sound_menu.c....
02:32:17XavierGrLlorean: yup, but if things are like the wiki says it is pretty straight forward
02:32:19linuxstb... and gui/gwps-common.c
02:32:31XavierGrLlorean: but something is wrong with the bootloader code atm
02:33:01XavierGrthe new bottloader.bin file (compiled from current svn) is wrong, cause the old one still builds fine
02:33:09XavierGrso i will have to wait for linus
02:33:13LloreanXavierGr: 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.
02:33:45XavierGrLlorean: of course you will have a bricked player, that's the sweet risk you take when you flash it alone :P
02:33:50pixelmalinuxstb: thanks for looking a bit closer too :) I'm really off now
02:34:19 Part pixelma
02:34:43XavierGris there any md5 built in command on linux?
02:34:57Mikachuwould you believe it is called 'md5sum'?
02:35:01LloreanXavierGr: 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.
02:35:18XavierGrLlorean: yes I realise that
02:36:02XavierGrflashing with impoper file or code will end up bricking the player.
02:36:42XavierGrthat's why most of us are waiting Linus to try it first because he can unbrick it with his magic :P
02:37:38LloreanI was just warning because it seemed like you were trying to.

02:38:14LloreanI can't imagine bootloader USB mode being so important as to even take a very faint risk of bricking a player.
02:38:24XavierGrI was trying to built the bootloader, I know very well what will happen if there is something wrong with it
02:38:49XavierGrbut even if I would take the risk (which I won't) I can't make the final bootloader file
02:38:50preglowlinuxstb: the very first bloody thing the bootloader does is enable wake on alarm...
02:38:58linuxstbhehe
02:39:22XavierGrbecause the tools won't let me do it (there is obviously an error)
02:39:30JdGordoncan someone paste the o with the dots please?
02:39:40linuxstbpreglow: Now you need to write yourself a flash driver and patch the bootloader...
02:40:01preglowlinuxstb: exactly!
02:40:33linuxstbDidn't I say rtc alarm would be easy?
02:41:06XavierGrnow that I think of it I remember Linus saying something about the bootloader size
02:41:19XavierGrbut I can't remember exactly what he said about it
02:41:34preglowlinuxstb: i would have been done days in the past if had taken the sane route and just implemented date increment logic
02:41:41preglowwhat is that, five lines of c code?
02:41:57JdGordonyou got the alarm working?
02:42:16Mikachuyeah, mine and linuxstb's ipods wake up every day at 10pm now
02:42:19preglowJdGordon: yeah, long ago, i just need a reliable way to figure out if we woke on alarm
02:42:44JdGordon:)
02:43:21 Quit blithe (Connection timed out)
02:43:22XavierGrwell anyway linus' commit seems to be just a minor reorganization in the bootloader sequence, I hope it does the trick in the end

02:44:02Mikachui didn't try it

02:44:18Lloreanpreglow: Why exactly do we need to know the alarm woke it?
02:44:25MikachuLlorean: so we can turn it off
02:44:28TwilightInZeroHi there, guys.
02:44:30Mikachuthe alarm, that is
02:44:53LloreanWe could just turn it off, if it's on, no matter what.
02:44:55*JdGordon looks forward to alaram on the h300 :p
02:45:13Shaidjust check when rockbox is loading whether time now => alarm time
02:45:17MikachuLlorean: you mean if you set the alarm and reboot, the alarm is unset?
02:45:17Shaidif so, turn it off
02:45:33linuxstbpreglow: So you don't set the date fields in the alarm at the moment?
02:45:35LloreanMikachu: Yes.
02:45:41Shaidthough that'd stop it turning on for the next day.
02:45:48preglowlinuxstb: if i were to do that, i would have to calculate them first
02:45:53Shaidhmm
02:46:20Shaidmaybe if it's within >5mins of alarm time turn it off.
02:46:28LloreanMikachu: Or, never unset it automatically, and put a menu entry for it.
02:46:29Mikachuactually i don't know if it turns on every day, i always have it plugged in
02:46:30preglowfor some absurd reason, i don't want any date increment logic, but i see i'll probably need it
02:46:57linuxstbDoesn't the date/time setting screen already do that?
02:47:11preglowi set alarm seconds to 00 and minute and hour as specified, and mark the rest as irrelevant
02:47:20JdGordonhang on.. whats so hard about date increment logic?
02:47:26preglowit's not hard
02:47:57preglowlinuxstb: i haven't seen any code like that, at least
02:48:05preglowbut now that you mentiond it, i think amiconn talked about it once
02:48:46preglowmktime has some such logic, i see
02:48:51preglowbut i can't use that
02:49:05TwilightInZeroYou 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...
02:49:09XavierGrbah! I just read in the logs that Linus send a new bootloader for the USB problem but that person didn't replied to it
02:49:50TwilightInZeroI'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."...
02:50:05XavierGrah mikachu thanks about the md5sum command
02:50:19linuxstbTwilightInZero: Do you have two cygwin.dll files on your computer? That's a common cause of cygwin trouble.
02:50:22TwilightInZeroThen 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.
02:50:27TwilightInZeroTwo of 'em?
02:50:30Shaidodd.
02:50:37TwilightInZeroI'll give a quick search real quick.
02:50:56TwilightInZeroTo finish off my question, I last tried coLinux, but it couldn't connect to the SVN server.
02:50:57SoapTwilightInZero: the most common cause of Samba problems is ZoneMFingAlarm.
02:51:15scorcheSoap: heh
02:51:27TwilightInZeroSoap: I don't have ZoneMFingAlarm. ;)
02:51:36Soapfor 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...
02:52:09TwilightInZeroSoap: 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
02:52:38linuxstbI guess there's more chance of a solution if you have three problems.
02:52:49TwilightInZeroI just want to get one working.
02:53:02TwilightInZeroIt doesn't matter to me which one.
02:53:14Soapget them all working and report back some speed benchmarks!
02:53:20linuxstbpreglow: I'm not sure how it works, but the data/time settings screen seems to have a lot of knowledge about dates.
02:53:30preglowi'll have a look once i'm through with this
02:53:57TwilightInZeroGood idea. Ah, here we go... ICS is disabled. Shall I go ahead and check that off?
02:54:19SoapICS needs to be enabled on your primary network connection.

03:04:06LloreanAt least more is known about the flash bootloader now.
03:04:23preglownot that it'll help much
03:04:54linuxstbIf we want to flash rockbox, we need to document all the hardware init'ing it does...
03:05:04preglowtrue enough, i guess
03:05:19preglowat least i've mapped out whatever it does with the pcf fairly well
03:05:26linuxstbNow we can rolo the diskmode app, that's the biggest issue.
03:05:42preglowhmm
03:05:51preglowi guess i can do a proper i2c multiple read routine too now
03:06:04LloreanIs the diskmode app the one you get from Select+Play, or the one you get from connecting a USB cable in Rockbox?
03:06:10preglowalso, our i2c routine differ somewhat from the ones in the bootloader
03:06:14LloreanDid we ever determine if there was a difference between those other than the string displayed?

03:06:57linuxstbYes, I doubt there would be two separate disk modes in flash.
03:07:53linuxstbI've never noticed a difference, apart from the forced (SELECT+PLAY) disk mode requires a reset to leave.
03:08:37preglowbut ok, with date increment logic i can set all the alarm fields to the exact time
03:08:38LloreanThat 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.
03:08:43preglowso that the alarm will never trigger again
03:09:08preglowbut that still does not solve the problem of the ipod triggering the alarm, the user shutting it down immediately, then turning it on again
03:09:13preglowthe alarm will then trigger again
03:09:26linuxstbLlorean: Yes, I've just tested, and the "rockbox" disk mode doesn't display "Disk Mode"
03:09:52Lloreanlinuxstb: It doesn't seem likely they're actually different, I was just curious why there are any differences like that.
03:10:39linuxstbRolo'ing the diskmode app gives you the "Disk Mode" text...

07:39:30amiconnI don't like its nick colouring scheme and its window layout. And the win32 version I once tried was ustable, crashing every few hours
07:39:47amiconnOn linux it's stable at least, hence usable
07:41:21scorchewell, did you compile it yourself?
07:41:32amiconnnope
07:41:41scorchei have had good luck with the silverex version if you are too lazy

08:02:09XavierGrHello Linus
08:02:18XavierGrWhat's up with the update on the bootloader?
08:02:45XavierGrI tried to make the bootloader but the scrambler will refuse to create the hex file
08:02:45LinusNJdGordon: hmmm, to be honest, i don't care much if it returns to the root menu, since the browser location is remembered
08:03:00LinusNXavierGr: reconfigure
08:03:18XavierGrI think I did...
08:03:28XavierGrso is it safe to make the bootloader with your changes?
08:03:33LinusNyes
08:03:34XavierGrare you going to realease one?
08:03:41LinusNnot yet
08:03:54LinusNi'll fix rtc and charging first
08:04:01JdGordonand alarm?

08:04:45LinusNthe sad part is that i still don't fully understand the usb on the h300
08:05:25LinusNmy findings with the multimeter contradict the OF disassembly
08:05:41LinusNso i'll have to do some more research
08:05:46XavierGrdid the guy yesterday contacted you about the test bootloader you gave to him?
08:06:13LinusNpondlife?
08:06:27XavierGrit was pondlife?
08:06:46LinusNor was there another guy?
08:06:47XavierGruhm I think it was someone else
08:06:54LinusNin the logs?
08:07:11XavierGrit was at the time that you asked someone for an H300 that has the USB bootloader problem
08:08:22JdGordonLinusN: oh, did you fix the nonlcd problem in the bootloader? (I tihnk it was that one which always thought hold was on?)
08:08:34LinusNJdGordon: not yet
08:08:49XavierGrLinus: so does your commit fixes the USB bootloader mode in the end?
08:09:31LinusNhttp://www.rockbox.org/irc/reader.pl?date=20070227#23:00
08:09:40LinusNi only see pondlife there
08:10:06LinusNand yes, it worked for him
08:10:18XavierGrbah idiot I am! Sorry...
08:10:37XavierGrperfect! I am gonna test it too, when I manage to make the bootloader
08:11:10amiconnLinusN: Does it fix the nasty click?
08:12:10JdGordonLinusN: last thing.. are you going to add a killswitch for the bootloader this release?
08:12:16LinusNamiconn: yes
08:12:27LinusNJdGordon: possibly
08:12:36XavierGrkillswitch?

08:16:27XavierGrbecause if the disk isn't readable then iriver wouldn't know :P
08:16:56JdGordonif the bootloader works but the disk doesnt, iriver will see the rb bootloader and deny the return
08:17:08XavierGrexaclty
08:17:12JdGordonnot that it really matters anymore seen all hxxx's would e out of warrenty by now
08:17:21XavierGrindeed
08:17:22amiconnIf the disk isn't accessible that doesn't mean it can't be made working again
08:17:43XavierGrnot to mention that iriver won't be able to replace his unit with another H100
08:17:45amiconn...and then iriver would still see rockbox
08:18:17XavierGryes but still it would mean that they will have to repair the disk/board and then search his files
08:18:44DataGhostafaik they're not even allowed to do that
08:18:47LinusNamiconn: i still have to fix the click for the application
08:18:53DataGhostby company policy
08:19:12DataGhostbecause there might be illegal stuff on it and they don't want it to be their responsibility

08:21:16*JdGordon is game - i mean.. crazy... Ill try a new bootloader
08:22:03XavierGrwell I am afraid to try it even if I manage to create the firmware file :P
08:22:06 Part toffe
08:22:51JdGordonare the instructions the same as whats on the wiki?
08:23:35XavierGrI think yes
08:23:47XavierGrit worked for me until the scrambling
08:24:21 Part decayedcell
08:24:33XavierGrLinus: It should work normally with all (official iriver) H300.hexes right?
08:26:01JdGordonscramble worked..
08:26:08XavierGrnice
08:26:14XavierGrI guess I did something wrong
08:26:22JdGordonLinusN: have you got a md5 of the hacked .hex I can compare against just to make sure?
08:26:36XavierGrthe command was right it is just that the tool would give me a file size error
08:26:51LinusNXavierGr: that is wrong
08:27:02LinusNit should not give a file size error
08:27:20LinusNis your svn up-to-date?
08:27:21XavierGrlet me try again then
08:27:38XavierGrIt should be but I am just svn updating as we speak
08:27:59LinusNafter updating, you must run ../tools/configure again
08:28:10LinusNotherwise the binary will be too big
08:28:30JdGordonok... here we go...
08:30:39JdGordontick tock...
08:30:50JdGordonstupid thing takes a while doesnt it ? :p
08:31:09XavierGrhmm i think it will work now, because the bin is 3.99 and not 4mb
08:31:34JdGordonwell it booted back into rb so it worked :)
08:31:54XavierGryup I have the hex now

08:35:50DataGhostheh
08:35:54DataGhostthat's what I thought this morning
08:36:00*JdGordon has a stupid version string in the bootloader now
08:36:16JdGordonversion: rootpatch-12500M or something :p
08:36:17XavierGrhmm strange why it doesn't respond to button presses when in USB bootloader mode?
08:36:25DataGhostand 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

08:46:23LinusNif you leave the charger connected
08:46:25XavierGreven when runing rockbox?
08:46:41XavierGrso shouldn't I leave it to charge into rockbox?
08:46:50LinusNno, only in the case when it doesn't react when you insert the charger
08:46:54JdGordonwhy is the backlight being turned off in the usb loop?
08:47:02LinusNto save battery
08:47:19XavierGryeah better that way
08:47:35LinusNi think we could leave it on if the charging is enabled
08:47:36XavierGrjust it would be nice to have backlight on keypress as you said
08:47:38JdGordonbut the buttons dont work.. so you can forget its connected
08:47:45LinusNright
08:47:51LinusNwill fix that

09:10:35GodEaterI think he might have been a bit hasty locking a forum thread...
09:12:01JdGordonLinusN: doing a remote_type() check should be enough to get aroudn the h300 non-lcd remote right?

09:17:03LinusNJdGordon: it might not be that easy, since the remote_tick handler must be running before we can detect the remote type

09:17:32JdGordonoh ? nuts :p

09:18:11JdGordonspeaking of tik handlers.. what happens if it takes longer than 1 tick to complete?
09:18:23LinusNamiconn: yes
09:18:27amiconnIf so, the remote check could be done "manually"
09:18:39LinusNJdGordon: then you're in for a surprise :-)
09:18:56LinusNamiconn: yes
09:19:02JdGordonhaha ok
09:19:15amiconnA side effect of checking the accessory voltage is that it also tells you the hold state for the lcd remotes
09:19:16amiconnNo extra check necessary
09:19:52JdGordonLinusN: please let me know if you find any bugs bad enough that I should go back to the old bootloader

09:43:25Shaidif you can get one, the Toshiba Gigabeat X60 is a good player for rockbox.
09:43:32Shaidjust make sure it's not an S60.
09:43:45GodEateror the F60 - that's nice too
09:43:48GodEaterand easier to find

09:47:26LinusNi wonder why i can't hear a thump when booting my h300
09:48:02LinusNi hear a slight click when rockbox has started, but nothing else
09:50:17GodEaterLinusN: clearly you don't have it hooked up through a 1000W Sub Woofer ?

09:52:44JdGordonLinusN: I think it might depend on whats plugged into the headphone outs... with my stereo its very annoying, also before it was doing an annoying zzap sort of sound
09:52:53JdGordonfor abiout half a second
09:53:04LinusNwhen does the zzap come?
09:53:23JdGordonboth stop just before the lcd turns on
09:53:52LinusNso it's basically right when you press ON?
09:54:24JdGordonpretty much..
09:54:35LinusNJdGordon: is the problem the same when you boot the OF?
09:54:49 Join pill [0] (i=pill@sloth.shellfx.net)
09:54:50LinusNor even when you use the original rom without the bootloader?
09:56:04JdGordonits no where near as bad holding rec
09:56:10JdGordondunno about using the original bootloader
09:56:14LinusNthe UDA1380 reset is performed right before lcd_init()
09:56:28LinusNi could do it earlier
09:56:58LinusNJdGordon: do you build your own bootloader?
09:57:10JdGordonI dont think rockbox inits the sound hardware properly.. I get whitenoise in rockbox (with nothing playing) and none in the OF
09:57:13JdGordonyep
09:57:43LinusNcan you move the call to audiohw_reset(); to right after power_init()?
09:57:59JdGordonbah, sorry, the OF has the whitenoise also
09:58:07JdGordonthats safe?
09:58:12LinusNor perhaps right after the ON button check
09:58:16LinusNyes, it's safe

10:00:48vjthello, rockbox rocks! :) i'm about to compile it with the COP patch for 5g ipod, which arm-elf-gcc version should i use? 3.3? 4.0? this post http://www.rockbox.org/mail/archive/rockbox-archive-2006-03/0012.shtml tells me to use 4.0.2, but it's also from march 2006
10:00:50*JdGordon wishes the flash process was a bit faster :p
10:01:07GodEatervjt: 4.0.3
10:01:17vjtGodEater, thank you
10:01:52JdGordonLinusN: nothing :) ill try a few more times to make sure tho
10:01:56GodEatervjt: if you used the tool/rockboxdev.sh script - that's what will get installed for you
10:02:06LinusNJdGordon: putting it there is however *not* safe for the h100 bootloader
10:02:34LinusN(because of the sleep call)
10:02:37JdGordonbah, nope.. didnt fix it
10:02:56LinusNJdGordon: but is it better?
10:03:28JdGordonno change... its not every boot unfortunatly
10:03:31GodEaterJdGordon: Are you going to be commiting the root menu patch today ? Or are there still issues to thresh out ?
10:03:51JdGordonIf im allowd to I probably will :)
10:03:52LinusNJdGordon: would be interesting to know if it is better with only OF installed
10:04:01JdGordonbut I have to go now for a few hours
10:04:12JdGordonLinusN: ok, ill check for you when i get back unless someone else does

10:47:37LloreanThe E10 is the television remote / MP3 player, right?
10:48:27B4gderit seems so, yes
10:48:45LinusNyes
10:49:32B4gderbut very few buttons, I bet it would be awkward to use as a remote for real
10:49:43LloreanVery probably.
10:49:55LloreanI used to have a PDA whose IR function I used for such things.
10:50:30B4gderI 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
10:50:40B4gdercontrolled
10:50:41LloreanBecause 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.
10:51:21DataGhostLlorean that probably just means that they don't interfere :P
10:51:34LloreanWhen 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.
10:51:48B4gdermy remote can "learn" from the original remote, and put that on any key
10:52:03LloreanI wish I had one that could learn. I keep meaning to buy one.
10:52:06B4gderand such "macro" functions
10:52:34LloreanI just want to have the volume keys correspond to one device, the channel keys to another, a power key for each, and maybe input selection for the TV as an added bonus.

11:58:00Kasperleit's this: http://www.rockbox.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/WpsIpod5g#Black_Glass_Album_Art_Version
11:58:08bluebrotherdamn, I'm dreaming again ;-)
11:59:13Kasperlei guess i'll try that album art patch, then ;)
11:59:30BigBambiAs bluebrother said, I think %m is scrolling margins
11:59:30LinusNi like the skin proposal in the wiki
12:00
12:00:11BigBambiGiven 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
12:00:20BigBambiLinusN: Have you a link?
12:00:35LinusNhttp://www.rockbox.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/CompiledSkinProposal
12:00:39BigBambiCheers
12:02:23bluebrotherI'm not sure if I get the exact point. So it's moving the skin functionality out to separate code?

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

12:04:41cadutoday i did a quick read at rockbox's toshiba gigabeat homepage... it shows some devices at 50% support like power management / lcd driver...
12:05:03caduany caveats at all ? i've been thinking about getting me one of those all day long :)
12:05:21GodEatercadu: That may just mean those items have not been fully optimised yet
12:05:24markuncadu: which one are you planning to get?
12:05:29LinusNcadu: it's still a work in progress, but i hear that it works just fine
12:05:47GodEatercadu: it's still a fantastic player IMO
12:05:51LinusNcadu: make sure you get an F or X series, and not S

12:06:25cadumarkun, 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
12:06:36tickLinusN: I'd rather interpret the skin proposal in the bluebrother's way
12:06:45markuncadu: 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)
12:07:15tickNice idea indeed
12:07:25BigBambiLinusN: 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
12:07:30cadumarkun, nice, but i see these parts aren't really *vital* for the device operation....
12:07:47caduwakeup from sleep is a nice feature who pause it for a while, i usually turn the damn thing off already :P
12:08:16tickBigBambi: there could be an "interpreting" skin that would parse a wps file. Other skins could hard code the displaying
12:08:34LinusNBigBambi: from the wiki page in question: "So it is possible to easily change some Parts of the user interface without programming in C"
12:08:42BigBambiOK, missed that bit
12:08:50BigBambiGood plan though
12:09:13tickLinusN: I don't get this point. How's that supposed to be?
12:09:16markuncadu: 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.
12:09:38BigBambiWould go nicely with viewports...
12:09:54cadumarkun, so these smart portable audio players don't get really 'off' at all ?
12:09:54markunBigBambi: yes, that's what I thought as well
12:09:57bluebrotherso it's basically a "wps" like parsing for list views, wps, radio and recording screen?
12:10:10LinusNhmmm, maybe i am interpreting it wrong...
12:10:21cadumarkun, like the ATX vs AT mobo paradigm
12:10:39tickSo a skin could be something like the plugin API now: just a bunch of funcs for rendering of different screens.
12:10:40LinusNit certainly looks like he is suggesting a plugin-like interface after all
12:10:42markuncadu: well, they preserve what's in RAM and a few special registeres, but the rest is turned off.
12:10:53LinusNand that plainly sucks
12:11:26BigBambiI 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
12:11:49tickLinusN: why that? The current state of the things could be easily implemented with the skin concept
12:12:02markunLinusN: 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.
12:12:07cadumarkun, usb and cradle charging are okay? rockbox detects it or it's just charging in hardware-only ?
12:12:11pondlifeIs there a limit to the number of times flashing can take place before any hardware fails?
12:12:29LinusNi think skins with C code is doomed to break
12:12:32pondlifei.e. 1000 flashes and that's yer lot
12:13:00markuncadu: it's hardware controlled and rockbox detects when the battery is being charged.
12:13:23tickLinusN: it will be dangerous, yes. But very flexible.
12:13:41LinusNit will be a burden to keep synchronized
12:14:13tickSo 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
12:14:19LinusNand a nightmare to support when there are 3rd party skins
12:14:42perplexitypondlife ?? nice! current svn code ?
12:14:48cadumarkun, nice :)
12:15:05pondlifeA small mod or 2, still working out what
12:15:13cadui think i'll buy (whatever is available at the stores, Fxx or Xxx) this weekend :P
12:15:28markuncadu: are you a programmer?
12:15:37cadumarkun, 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 ()
12:15:54markuncadu: right now rockbox doesn't require any flashing
12:16:12cadumarkun, i can do some basic C/pascal , some knowledge in linux/networking, can do some Python, but that's it
12:16:34markuncadu: well, if you want to help out, there is always something to do.
12:16:42cadumarkun, oh i've read it..the firmware stays on a partition on the hard drive....
12:16:43tickLinusN: but still: it's a nice idea IMO
12:16:43 Quit tick ("CGI:IRC")

12:17:26markunbut right now I don't know what else can be done to improve the battery life for example.
12:17:50cadumarkun, 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)
12:17:52bluebrotherhehe ... LaTeX macros are quite different to C preprocessor ones :)
12:18:10*JdGordon hates LaTeX
12:18:24*bluebrother doesn't understand this
12:18:28markuncadu: perhaps we can port some nice things over from the gp2x software?
12:19:12cadumarkun, i would like to see the opposite happening too....a rockbox port to gp2x :P
12:19:30markunanyway, I'm several hours late for work already (strange dreams). Talk to you later.
12:19:41JdGordonall it needs it cross compiler for sdl arm and you should be ok
12:19:43caduit has 2 arm processors (one lacks a MMU and has some specialized instructs) and all hardware documented :P
12:19:50perplexityI reckon rockbox would make an awesome userspace application for my palm :)
12:20:03caduJdGordon, i would love userspace rockbox on gp2x (arm linux really)
12:20:13markuncadu: good thing all our hardware was documented as well (besides the LCD module)
12:21:00JdGordonLinusN: 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
12:21:10JdGordonmaybe its faulty hardware and not software?
12:23:09JdGordon... and if your there.. just making sure the svn bootloader should be safe?

12:57:27GodEaterI find it bizarre that the routing dies so far away from Sweden though
12:57:47GodEateryou'd have thought that at that distance you wouldn't even get the website either
12:57:57aliaskSingtel's international lines are particularly unreliable in my experience with them.
12:58:08aliaskEither crappy speeds or dropouts
12:58:37B4gderyeah, but clearly these must be using two different routes
12:59:03JdGordonisnt the point of tcp/ip that if one route dies another can take over?
12:59:29GodEaterthat's the theory - but only if the router has alternate routes configured

13:19:06pondlifePause is not good as voice stops.
13:19:07LinusNpondlife: sure, but is that what the user would expect, for instance after resuming playback after boot?
13:19:43pondlifeAfter boot, I'd be happy to go to the root, but would prefer to go to the last played in the browser
13:19:54 Join pixelma [0] (i=pixelma@rockbox/staff/pixelma)
13:20:03pondlifeBut stop is quite common, booting is not
13:20:11vjti've compiled a rockbox with the cop patch for the ipodvideo, it is available at vjt/rockbox-ipodvideo-r12519+cop_patch.zip">http://signalos.org/~vjt/rockbox-ipodvideo-r12519+cop_patch.zip if someone needs it :)
13:20:38pixelmayes, I'd expect to be in the screen I came from too
13:20:40LinusNpondlife: all i want is a consistent and intuitive behaviour
13:20:44pondlifeMe too.
13:21:11***Saving seen data "./dancer.seen"
13:21:12pondlifeBut when going back to the menus or browser, I want to always go to wherever I last was.
13:21:21LinusNi guess previous screen might be good enough, but what if the last screen was the plugin browser?
13:21:31pondlifeThis should cover the settings and everything ideally
13:21:55pondlifei.e. regard it as just 2 parts - the menu heirarchy and the WPS.
13:21:55JdGordonLinusN: you cant go plugins > wps
13:22:04LinusNok
13:22:09pondlifeWhat about pressing play?
13:22:11JdGordonit will always be either root or files
13:22:16JdGordonits disabled
13:22:28 Quit aliask ("Chatzilla 0.9.77 [Firefox 2.0.0.2/2007021917]")
13:22:37LinusNindeed it is
13:22:44pondlifeWhy is that?
13:22:47 Quit DataGhostUni ("Peace and Protection 4.22.2")
13:22:50JdGordonbecause.. :)
13:22:57pondlifeWhy not have play always work as a resume? Consistency ;-)
13:23:08JdGordonthat was being consisteant with svn
13:23:22pondlifeWell, we can improve it, can't we?
13:23:31LinusNthe code in svn is not very consistent, is it? :-)
13:23:42pondlifeStop means go to heirarchy, play means go to WPS
13:23:52LinusNi would expect Play to take me to WPS at all times
13:23:59JdGordonamiconn: have you still got everything setup to make voice files?
13:24:19JdGordonits a simple change.. but it does feel wierd going wps > plugins :p

13:24:34JdGordoni mean, that will happen if stop == go to previous
13:24:37pondlifeCurrently, in settings, play selects. That's been wrong for a long time..
13:24:54pondlifeThat's the one that's annoyed me most
13:24:57amiconnI didn't make any new voice file since the langv2 transition... and I'm not allowed to publish the bearable ones :(
13:25:01LinusNJdGordon: that's why i think it should go to the root when you stop
13:25:19LinusNthen the file tree is one click away
13:25:22pondlifeI don't understand?
13:25:30pondlifeWhy not go back to the last place?
13:25:35LinusNand since it remembers the location, it shouldn't be a problem
13:25:43JdGordonamiconn: ok, i was wondering why the ones from you on the wiki are so old :p
13:25:58LinusNpondlife: because it's potentially confusing
13:25:59pondlifeSeems inconsistent to me. Why should the browser be special...
13:26:00pixelmaLinusN: still one click too many
13:26:20LinusNpixelma: yes, if you want to go to the browser
13:26:22pondlifeIf it goes back to the heirarchy, it's only one long left back to the root.
13:26:48LinusNpondlife: the last screen could be the plugin browser or the theme browser
13:26:50pondlifeI know you don't see it as a heirarchy, but I have to for consistency...
13:26:53pondlifeWhy not
13:26:57JdGordonpixelma: did you try the latest patch? hopefully left will act properly for you in the tree
13:27:06pondlifeUseful if selecting a theme, certainly
13:27:06amiconnI should adapt the vbscript one day.... probably before the per-target voice split :/
13:27:32pondlifeI can see that plug-ins might be a bit pointless, but consistency is much improved, no?
13:27:44pixelmawant to repeat my suggestion: make it go to the screen one has set as start screen - could make everyone happy
13:27:50LinusNpondlife: consistency is always going back to the root, imho
13:28:08pixelmaLinusN: that's what I do the most, I don't change settings too often...
13:28:11pondlifeTrue, but that's a useful feature lost.
13:28:11LinusNpixelma: sounds reasonable
13:28:20pondlifeCan I set start screen to be browser?
13:28:25LinusNyes
13:28:30pondlifeSo "root"="browser"
13:28:42JdGordonstart != root tho
13:28:50pixelmaJdGordon: yes, repeat left works now
13:28:59GodEaterstart is first screen displayed, root is always the root menu
13:29:02LinusNmy only concern is that it may not be obvious to the user what screen it will return to when you stop
13:29:14pondlifeThe last one they selected
13:29:35GodEaterthat wouldn't make any sense to me if I'd been listening to music for 6 hours
13:29:39pondlifeAlthough I could live with the start screen I guess, as long as follow playlist works properly
13:29:44GodEaterI'd have forgotten where I was by then
13:29:49JdGordonHow about we leave it stop > root, and if we get heaps of requests for something else we change it?
13:29:54pondlifeStop -> start
13:30:12pondlifeWhich will be root for most
13:30:13markunJdGordon: sounds fine
13:30:24LinusNpondlife: that might be kind of irritating it the start screen is the wps
13:30:31pondlife:-)
13:30:34pondlifeTrue
13:30:37*amiconn sure as hell won't set the root menu as his start screen, and would hate to be thrown there by a simple 'Stop"
13:30:41LinusNor the fm radio

13:31:27pondlifeLong left takes you back to root from most places too, right?
13:31:33LinusNit's probably not as confusing as i fear
13:31:34pondlifeSo it's easy to get back
13:31:36linuxstbWhy don't we use the "startup screen" setting as the place that STOP takes you to?
13:31:46LinusNpondlife: Menu takes you to the root
13:31:46pondlifeBecause it might be WPS or radio
13:32:02pondlifeLinusN: Of course, even better
13:32:04LinusNlinuxstb: read my comment a few lines up
13:32:29JdGordonI think start screen with a sanity check would be best
13:32:43pondlifeI prefer last
13:32:50linuxstbI still think STOP should go to the root menu, otherwise it's no longer a root menu.
13:32:50pondlifeStart screen is a compromise IMHO
13:33:00pondlifelinuxstb: MENU does that
13:33:23linuxstbAnd SELECT takes you to the file browser...
13:33:31pondlifeNo
13:33:34pondlifeSelect selects
13:33:38JdGordonwhatever happens... can someone please build a updated voice file? make voice does nothing :p
13:34:12MikachuJdGordon: did you configure for voice?
13:34:14B4gderthe last time I tried, make voice built a voice file
13:34:16pondlifeHow about select in the WPS goes to the last screen but doesn't stop playback?
13:34:28JdGordonMikachu: configure seems to have done nothing
13:34:40JdGordonwhich target needs to be chosen?
13:34:54GodEaterJdGordon: any of them I'd guess
13:35:01GodEaterand the V for voice
13:35:01JdGordonpondlife: select goes to the last browser, and doesnt stop
13:35:04GodEaters/the/then
13:35:22B4gderJdGordon: you should select the target you want the voice for
13:35:29B4gderthey will be target-specific soonish
13:35:42JdGordonconfigure for voice does nothing :(
13:35:58GodEaterJdGordon: does here
13:36:01linuxstbpondlife: What you're saying is that you don't want a root menu, but want to keep the existing Rockbox behaviour 100%?
13:36:08pondlifeNo
13:36:17JdGordonGodEater: is it telling you You need Festival, eSpeak or Flite in your path to build voice files ?
13:36:36pondlifeI want consistency
13:36:38JdGordonespeak btw is installed and in the patch
13:36:40JdGordonpath
13:36:40linuxstbIn my mind, the root menu is the place you go to when you exit a screen.
13:36:48JdGordon^ amen
13:36:49LinusNpondlife: and going to root is not consistency?
13:36:53linuxstbBut in addition, we have short-cuts between screen.
13:36:58GodEaterGodEater: yes it is
13:37:01GodEaterargh
13:37:05GodEatertalking to myself
13:37:08GodEaterJdGordon: yes it is ;)
13:37:14GodEaterand I have all three
13:37:20B4gderJdGordon: it works for me with festival installed
13:37:22JdGordonwhisky tango foxtrot!
13:37:24GodEateralthough I think the Festival install is broken
13:37:43pondlifeSorry, on the phone...
13:37:48GodEaterI don't appear to have a festival_client :(
13:37:58GodEaterso I just went with espeak instead
13:38:03GodEaterwhich appeared to work
13:38:25JdGordonB4gder: is there a script i can run instead of make voice?
13:38:31GodEaterafter you've done make voice - what then ? I'm left with a bazillion .mp3 files
13:38:47pondlifeLinusN: Going to root would be consistent, yes. But going to root on MENU and last screen on STOP is also consistent and better (IMHO).
13:38:56B4gderGodEater: there should be a single file with them all merged
13:39:02LinusNi can go with last screen
13:39:10B4gderJdGordon: sure, just do what make voice does manually
13:39:15GodEaterB4gder: called what ?
13:39:24GodEaterah - english.voice
13:39:30JdGordonwhich is? I get no Makefile
13:39:59GodEaterJdGordon: do you *have* those things in your path ?
13:40:11 Part fasmaie
13:40:22pondlifelinuxstb: 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.
13:40:26JdGordonI have espeak
13:42:20*JdGordon gives up... GO_TO_PREVIOUS it is
13:42:38linuxstbI 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
13:43:05amiconnYes it does. It's cumbersome if you're used to classic rockbox navigation
13:43:26JdGordonit takes 5 min to get used to the new menu
13:43:35amiconnI once tried Ondio original firmware... and was immediately annoyed by the root menu
13:43:50amiconnIt requres extra button presses
13:44:16GodEaterhaha - espeak sounds like robbie the robot
13:44:25amiconnThe root menu is probably a good idea... but only if you're not forced to use it everytime

13:44:39markunGodEater: but it's a nice 1 man project
13:44:46linuxstbamiconn: It requires one extra press. Just press SELECT to go the file browser, then stop playback.
13:45:20pixelmawhich could be avoided...
13:45:44pondlifeIt just seems more logical to regard the WPS as an overlay on the menu system (including the browser etc.)
13:45:46linuxstbIf 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.
13:45:48GodEatermarkun: Only one guy works on it ? Wow - impressive!
13:46:10markunGodEater: it was designed to run on very simple machines (12MHz ARM initially) and to be understandable, but did not have to be human sounding.
13:46:16JdGordonpondlife: if thats the case then for sure you would expect off to take you to the root menu
13:46:17pondlifelinuxstb: If you want to go to the root menu, why not just press MENU?
13:46:28pixelmalinuxstb: currently you're taken back to the root menu when playback has stopped
13:46:29pondlifeNo, to the last screen I was in
13:46:37GodEatermarkun: well it's pretty good - I wasn't complaining, I actually like the mechanized voice sound :)
13:46:51pixelmalinuxstb: I mean at the end of the playlist
13:46:52markunGodEater: well, he got some help with support for other languages
13:46:53pondlifeI want to go to the root menu only on boot up or when I navigate left into it.
13:47:03JdGordonGodEater: can you put up voice files for the patch please?
13:47:13Shaidthe amiga could do robotic speach synthesis on a 7mhz 68k.
13:47:29ShaidI was impressed back in 1987.
13:47:30markunGodEater: if you have some spare time, a port to rockbox is on my wishlist
13:47:45linuxstbpixelma: 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.
13:47:47ShaidBut now in 2007 it's not really alot better...
13:47:57GodEaterfor comparison, flite is terrible
13:47:57JdGordonespeak doesnt use as many languages as rockbox does tho
13:48:03markunShaid: yes, I was impressed too, but wasn't there some special hardware for it?
13:48:25GodEaterJdGordon: would that mean building a voice file per target ?
13:48:26markunJdGordon: I added Dutch, didn't take me long (although it's far from perfect)
13:48:34pixelmalinuxstb: and in this case I don't see why there should be a difference depending on the reason why playback has stopped
13:48:37markunJdGordon: so other people can just add their own languages
13:48:38*linuxstb is starting to get persuaded...
13:48:43JdGordonGodEater: I dont thin so.. dont know tho
13:48:43pondlifeWhat's the best quality voice generator that allows the end product to be distributed?
13:49:13GodEaterI wish I could try out festival - the gentoo ebuild doesn't seem to install the binaries that the make procedure expects though
13:49:23GodEater:(
13:49:37*JdGordon has already caved in.. we are goign to previous.. im _not_ changing that to previousbrowser
13:49:48linuxstbWhy previous, and not previousbrowser?
13:49:59pondlifeNo, previous is the one. Previous browser would be wrong.
13:50:01JdGordonbecuase tihnk its wrong to
13:50:04ShaidI think the Paula chip helped, but it was mostly a kernel device
13:50:10*linuxstb is confused now
13:50:10Shaidof course, my amiga days are quite some time ago.
13:50:19JdGordonmarkun: 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
13:50:41linuxstbWhat other previous screens could be useful when you press STOP?
13:50:46JdGordonthe point is select in the wps :p
13:50:49pondlifeDatabase? Settings?

13:51:42JdGordonwe can go from any screen to any screen with this
13:51:47LinusNi think rockbox will never be able to evolve if we always have to retain the old behaviour
13:51:55l33chhi all
13:52:02*GodEater agrees with LinusN
13:52:13Shaidwell, yeah, evolution means change, it's part of its nature, really.
13:52:13linuxstbCan someone summarise the current/proposed behaviour? I'm confused now.
13:52:14*pondlife does too
13:52:20markunJdGordon: 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
13:52:21JdGordon... and retain the charcell compatability :p
13:52:24Shaidwe're not reactionists, are we?
13:52:27pondlifelinuxstb: It's much simpler
13:52:29LinusNi can go with previous screen
13:52:46JdGordonmarkun: ok, sounds like fun :)
13:52:46pondlifeJust navigate the menus, PLAY -> WPS, STOP -> menus
13:52:50markunJdGordon: let me check if I have my initial file, perhaps you will them see what I mean
13:53:02JdGordonna dont woryy about it
13:53:05pondlifebrowser is regarded as part of the menus
13:53:08JdGordoni was just curious..
13:53:16*JdGordon only speaks english
13:53:27linuxstbStarting 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?
13:53:30JdGordonpondlife: no its not...
13:53:42pondlifeNo?
13:53:43JdGordonlinuxstb: yes
13:53:45LinusNlinuxstb: yes
13:54:02pondlifelinuxstb: Yes!
13:54:03JdGordonpondlife: they arnt part of the menu, the menu just ties everything to gether
13:54:17pondlifeNo, I mean conceptually in the UI
13:54:22linuxstbThen I don't understand the STOP behaviour - either the root menu or last browser would seem more useful.
13:54:23pondlifeI know they're not really
13:54:29JdGordonthere also..
13:54:43*pondlife would like SELECT to go to previous too, not previous browser
13:54:52LinusNconceptually, the root menu is, well, a menu from where you can go to different screens
13:55:04pondlifei.e. SELECT in WPS is same as STOP but playback continues.
13:55:50linuxstbThat just seems very confusing - I would prefer buttons to be predictable in terms of going to absolute places.
13:55:50LinusNpondlife: 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 :)
13:56:06pondlifeFair enough

13:57:34Mikachuyes, swedish works fine
13:57:49markunyes, utf-8 is the default encoding

14:11:41LinusNlike using the root menu
14:11:42preglowthe day i don't, i think i'll just throw myself in a lake
14:12:04preglowi think the root menu rocks
14:12:05peturand swim a bit...
14:12:14LinusNi love the root menu
14:12:34LinusNbut i think "root menu" is a somewhat misleading name
14:12:34preglowmakes rockbox a nicer place overall
14:12:38GodEaterI also fear the change of fearing change if you see what I mean ;)
14:12:45preglowand probably easier for noobs
14:12:53preglowLinusN: agreed
14:13:15LinusNi think perhaps "Start menu" or "Main menu"
14:13:25LinusN"root" implies a hierarchy that doesn't exist"
14:13:28preglowstart menu gets my vote
14:14:06preglowit's not like we really need to call it anything anyway
14:14:11preglowapple calls their main menu "ipod"
14:14:13preglow:)
14:14:17LinusNwell, we might have to, in the manual
14:14:33pixelmaso JdGordon would have to rename root_menu.c ? ;)
14:14:36LinusN"Menu" takes you to the xxxx
14:14:45LinusNpixelma: lol * 2
14:14:52linuxstbI always thought the idea of the root menu was to create a hierarchy...
14:14:58JdGordonI was actually going to ask if root_menu.* should be moved and renamed
14:15:14LinusNlinuxstb: where is the hierarchy?
14:15:22JdGordonmoved into gui or menus and named ?
14:15:24preglowi think of the point of the root menu as just organising things in a more logical place
14:15:26linuxstbThe root menu is at the root, and everything else underneath.
14:15:47LinusNyou can go from any screen to another
14:15:54LinusNvia the root menu
14:15:56Febs"Main Menu" might be confusing as there is a main menu now which serves a different function.
14:16:07linuxstbLinusN: Exactly - _via_ the root menu.
14:16:12JdGordonMain Menu is renamed to Settings in te patch
14:16:22JdGordonnot via... you can go any to any skipping the root!
14:16:23markunbut start menu is also not right if you have the settings menu defined as the start screen :)
14:16:24linuxstbApart from the small number of short-cuts which by-pass the root menu.
14:16:34pondlifeLinusN: What's the harm in regarding it as a heirarchy?
14:17:00preglowyou might get surprised when it doesn't act as such
14:17:15LinusNexactly
14:17:17roolkuroot menu is not so intuitive for technically challenged users - I like main menu
14:17:17preglowanyway, i believe it's quite redundant
14:17:23preglowpeople will use it, find out how it works, and then remember that
14:17:28markunpondlife: same problem as "why doesn't left bring me back to the WPS?"
14:17:34preglowyou don't need a perfect concept of anything to be able to use it
14:17:51FebsBut you do need to be able to have a consistent name for it to be able to document it.
14:17:59LinusNyes we do
14:18:11LinusNi think "Main menu" is the best
14:18:14linuxstbHow about "Rockbox menu" - with "Rockbox" as the title?
14:18:23pondlifeI vote "Main menu"
14:18:25LinusNlinuxstb: not bad
14:18:41markunbut then again, all menus in rockbox are a rockbox menu
14:18:48linuxstbBut not The Rockbox Menu.
14:18:56markunah no :)
14:19:00preglowmain menu gets my vote
14:19:09LinusNok, so we have "Main menu", "Start menu" and "Rockbox menu"
14:19:12GodEaterhe definite artcile
14:19:14FebsNotwithstanding my earlier comment, I think "Main Menu" makes sense as well.
14:19:19GodEaterI vote Rockbox menu
14:19:20preglowhmm, rockbox menu isn't bad either :P
14:19:26linuxstbMain Menu works, but is boring...
14:19:28LinusN(here we go again) :-)
14:19:32pondlifeNah, there are lots of Rockbox menus ;)
14:19:35*GodEater remembers this isn't a democracy :)
14:19:40preglowi definitely like rockbox menu now
14:19:43preglowcommit!
14:19:46LinusNhaha
14:19:58JdGordonthe title now is Rockbox Menu (it should be ROCKbox but meh..), settings is Settings

14:24:57bospaadjeI like "Rockbox menu"

14:25:13LinusNi think "Rockbox menu" should work

14:25:27preglowhaha

14:25:41pondlifeNo, there are lots of menus in Rockbox!
14:25:44pixelmaJdGordon: I don't see a change in the stop behaviour with the latest patch
14:25:51LinusNall other menus have names too, like "Settings" etc, so I don't think there would be much confusion
14:25:54bospaadjethe rest is submenus (sort of), right?
14:26:09preglowroolku: do we really want runtime detection for something almost no one will have?
14:26:09Febs"Go to the Rockbox menu." "I'm in the Rockbox menu. The one with the sound settings." "No, go to the ROCKBOX menu."
14:26:20LinusNhowever, "Main menu" has more meaning to it

14:27:44linuxstbHow about referring to it as the main menu, but keeping the "Rockbox" title onscreen?
14:27:53pixelmapondlife: that worked for me with the previous patch (at least when going to filebrowser from WPS)
14:27:54GodEaterJdGordon: hahaha - good plan :)
14:28:10preglowlinuxstb: sounds extra good
14:28:14bospaadjelinuxstb, refer to it as "Rockbox main menu" then..

14:28:37GodEatermarkun: what is the "STOP" button on the Gigabeat ?
14:28:38pixelmapondlife: then I'm back in the root main menu atm
14:28:41LinusN"Rootbox" :-)
14:28:44preglowLinusN: yeah, but that doesn't add binary size, does it?
14:28:44GodEateris it "A" ?
14:28:57preglowbut i guess binary size isn't that much of an issue on h1x0
14:28:57pondlifepixelma: Go into Files and find a track 02...
14:29:07pondlifeThen play it and press STOP. What happens?
14:29:13markunGodEater: it's A, but I wish it was POWER
14:29:13LinusNpreglow: 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

14:30:35pixelmapondlife: I said root menu atm, I'll try again
14:30:36markunmaybe 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 :)
14:30:36pondlifeJdGordon: Can you try this too? Navigate to a track 2 in the file browser and play it. Then press STOP in the WPSS

14:31:23linuxstbJdGordon: How is "previous screen" decided? If you enter the WPS from the root menu, is the root menu the previous screen?
14:31:32JdGordonyes
14:31:32LinusNpreglow: sure we do
14:31:50linuxstbJdGordon: So which screens have a shortcut button to the WPS?
14:31:54pondlifeI think of follow playlist as meaning "update the previous screen"
14:32:07JdGordonbrowsers, menus atm...
14:32:12pondlifePLAY should work from everywhere soon, right?
14:32:18JdGordonshortcuts can be added on a target by target basis after

15:03:39LinusNwe have finally gotten rid of the existing hierarchy
15:03:47LinusNand now we have a flat structure
15:03:52pondlifeHierarchies are good though
15:03:55pondlifeIMHO
15:04:13LinusNnot when you mix the file system hierarchy and the menu hierarchy
15:04:28pondlifeIt certainly looks like a hierarchy to the uninformed (i.e. me).
15:04:42LinusNi.e the main menu is not the parent of the root folder
15:04:54pondlifeI understand that now, but didn't get that from using the UI
15:05:38pondlifeI saw MENU -> root, PLAY -> WPS, STOP -> last place in a hierarchy.
15:05:49LinusN*but* i think Left-to-mainmenu is a bad thing in this
15:06:05pondlifeYes, very probably now.
15:06:26LinusNleft-to-anything from the file root is a bad thing imnsho
15:06:37pondlifeMy main objection to left-to-WPS was for blind users, so you can be sure that an extra left won't go somewhere unvoiced.
15:07:12pondlifeIf the root IS regarded as a level above the browser, it works fine. Left at root does nothing I assume...

15:13:31Mikachupreglow: maybe you can encode state in the second register?

15:18:20Mikachuokay
15:18:45preglowbut no, i'm leaning towards just putting in a seconds threshold now, and encoding the full date in the alarm register

15:24:53LinusNTheSphinX^: it looks bad in my notepad too
15:25:10markunTheSphinX^: (like courier new or something)
15:25:44amiconnpreglow: 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?
15:26:16Mikachuhm yeah, can't you just set the wake-up time to invalid after it matches once?
15:26:20LinusNTheSphinX^: btw, the fm and recording will not be accessible from the menu in the future
15:26:27amiconnI thought that the alarm wake-up disables alarm as about the first thing it does...

15:53:51LinusNamiconn: it stops the playback
15:54:32LinusNok, if you start playing in the database, turn it off and then resume, Select in WPS takes you to the file browser
15:55:05LinusNfair enough, i guess
15:55:40LinusNperhaps it should remember that it was in the database, but i wouldn't call it a showstopper
15:57:02amiconnI 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
15:58:06pondlifeWhat does the SVN code do?
15:58:28markunpondlife: did you look at my pdf?
15:58:30LinusNamiconn: i agree
15:58:31Lloreanamiconn: Follow Playlist in DB still wouldn't work.
15:58:41pondlifemarkun: No, where is it?
15:58:43LinusNpondlife: the svn code has only one browser
15:59:01amiconnLlorean: Why not?
15:59:05markunpondlife: http://130.89.160.166/rockbox/rockbox-structure2.pdf
15:59:10Lloreanamiconn: 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?
15:59:37LloreanHow is it to know, from a filename, which series of filters you followed to get to that song in the database?
15:59:47amiconnHmm, I think playlists created from the db should store db pseudo paths instead of filesystem paths
16:00
16:00:02LloreanDynamic ones probably could/should.
16:00:03LinusNthen the playlist code would be a nightmare
16:00:18amiconnwhy?
16:00:47amiconnThe db->file mapping has to happen anyway at some point
16:00:59amiconnIt's just that this point would be deferred
16:01:13Lloreanamiconn: 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?
16:01:26roolkuamiconn: since the path can change dynamically I don't think this is a good solution
16:01:34LinusNLlorean: yes, but playlists are not database related
16:01:42preglowLinusN: what would you say is a reasonable maximum time from alarm to rockbox start? 15 secs?
16:01:47preglow10 would perhaps be more sane
16:01:58preglowLinusN: from alarm to rtc_init(), even
16:02:00LinusNpreglow: 10 sounds fair

16:09:53pondlifeYes
16:09:55preglowamiconn: ok, so i should use 2064 as "alarm disabled" year, then?

16:24:56markunGodEater: of course, with the GBSYSTEM.ZIP from the wiki you don't need the original firmware
16:25:02LloreanGodEater: 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.

17:13:19Mikachuthe spec says the tag can refer to tags in other mp3 files, but i don't think anyone ever has implemented that :)

17:13:34Kasperlepreglow: <3
17:13:44preglowbah, if they're going to depend on each other anyway, why not just keep it as an external file?
17:14:07LloreanKasperle: Having them in-tag means you have multiple copies of the album art, one per song, for each album.
17:14:21Mikachui don't know, maybe they were high when they made the spec. that would explain the bright coloured fish too
17:14:24Kasperlejust wondering because i tagged a lot of mp3s to include album art (just used mp3tag in windows, which does that quite nicely)
17:14:55Lloreanraphi: What do you mean by "fast/stable"?

17:17:17linuxstbraphi: It's simply that the CPU in the X5 can't handle it.

17:18:12raphiI'm a little bit confused..
17:18:12linuxstbraphi: When you encode your .mpg file, you need to reduce the fps.
17:18:26raphiwhat about 25fps? too much??
17:18:26linuxstbxvid at a very low framerate.

17:19:34Lloreanraphi: I believe the Xvid that the native firmware supports is something like 10fps?
17:19:44linuxstbAccording 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.
17:20:07linuxstbAlthough with more optimisation, those speeds should be increasable.
17:20:08raphito be honest... I haven't really tried the original firmware :-D I preferred yours!!
17:21:03linuxstbraphi: But back to your original question, mpegplayer isn't a priority for anyone at the moment.

17:53:45Mikachupreglow: it started and began playing music, when i rebooted it didn't resume, so it seems to be working
17:54:26perl|workjhMikeS its weird actually, when the fade out starts, the upcoming tracks has this corruption sound and the old one just stops right away
17:54:32perl|workhard to explain
17:54:44preglowMikachu: it should work now, yes, despite the gigantic hack
17:54:50preglowMikachu: it'll turn on again one time in 2099 :)
17:54:55Mikachuhaha
17:55:21preglowi've put an comment to that effect in the source, so it's all good
17:55:23Mikachuwill it start playing music at a set time even if rockbox is on?
17:55:28preglowno
17:55:40Mikachuwould it be possible to detect the alarm triggered from inside rockbox?
17:55:43preglowthe alarm is really supposed to shut rockbox down when you set it
17:55:47preglowbut that doesn't happen for some reason
17:55:50perl|workjhMikeS my crossfade settings: 3, 4, 3, 6, crossfade
17:55:52preglowsure, possible it is
17:56:04preglowbut it's not specified behaviour right now
17:56:20preglowif anyone with a 3g ipod would test the patch, i'd be happy
17:56:28preglowdo we have any of those around? :>
17:57:30*Mikachu remembers to revert patch to avoid conflicts later
17:57:46preglowalways a good idea
17:57:49preglowone i too seldom remember
17:57:54jhMikeSI 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
17:59:03pondlifeDid anyone mention http://www.theregister.co.uk/2007/02/28/mp3_patent_suit/ ?
17:59:47Lloreanpondlife: It's been discussed in the forums some, I suppose.
18:00
18:00:04pondlifeAh, ok
18:00:05Kasperlepreglow: "wake-up alarm"?
18:00:08Kasperleis that it?
18:00:48jhMikeSbah...will double check on that anyway
18:01:03MikachuKasperle: yes
18:01:20Lloreanpondlife: Actually, wait, different patent suit.
18:01:29Kasperlei 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?
18:02:19pondlifeI thought so. This ones a bit more serious-looking.
18:02:37jhMikeSyep, I sure do get a little glitch doing 1s
18:02:51Lloreanpondlife: Actually, this one's less serious looking, since it's on a hardware device only.
18:02:56Lloreanpondlife: Less serious, for Rockbox, at least.
18:03:27perl|workjhMikeS so you figure out where it comes from?
18:03:30LloreanSince 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
18:04:36jhMikeSperl|work: well, can't be positive but I'll switch something back and see it is stops
18:04:56perl|workjhMikeS thanks for looking into it
18:05:39Slasheri|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

18:10:11|Rincewind|I read the wiki page and don't understand the bit about changing the boot sequence when installing a new build.
18:10:14GodEatermental 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...
18:10:59Slasheri|Rincewind|: it's easy, that menu will automatically show after first boot. And can be switched off with hold switch during boot
18:11:04Kasperlepreglow: 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?
18:11:06Slasherino, you don't
18:11:47Slasherinormally 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
18:11:52perl|workjhMikeS aha
18:12:05|Rincewind|that makes sense
18:12:36markunSlasheri: 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?
18:12:47Slasheriand when running rockbox for longer time without upgrading/programming, it might be the best choice to run rombox (the hardest one to upgrade)
18:13:17Slasherimarkun: hmm, it depends how much that code needs changing
18:13:22|Rincewind|why is rombox hard to upgrade?
18:13:29Slasheriif it needs major changes, then new plugin would be the best
18:13:30jhMikeSperl|work: I'll undo the change and test again too see that it comes back since if that's the "fix" it should
18:14:05Slasheri|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
18:14:38amiconnSlasheri: Just rolo should do, shouldn't it?
18:14:39Slasheriyep
18:14:46Slasheriamiconn: that should do it too
18:15:12amiconnThat's the recommended sequence on archos when upgrading flashed rockbox
18:15:39amiconnWith flashed rockbox.ucl rolo is recommended, with rombox.ucl it's required

19:02:25saratoga(i'm thinking of the -Boot builds on http://build.rockbox.org/)
19:02:53saratogaso it just displays the status of the bootloader and core builds seperately?
19:02:55bluebrotherah. To make sure they build clean?
19:03:21bluebrotherif not build with the others it would be hard to find when they get broken accidentally
19:03:33bluebrotherthe same applies e.g. for the iriver bootloaders
19:03:45saratogaah ok
19:03:58bluebrotheryou usually install only a released bootloader as the iriver series can get messed up even worse than the ipods
19:04:00saratogawas thinking they were seperate builds for some reason
19:04:11saratogadidn't realize they go into the same .zip
19:04:27bluebrotherI don't think they do
19:04:44*amiconn would think the rtc mod should be disabled by default
19:04:45bluebrotheryou usually install a bootloader that got released, i.e. put on the download page
19:04:46Bagderno, the bootloaders aren't provided as zips from build.rockbox.org
19:04:59amiconnNo other mod is enabled by default in the builds
19:05:03preglowthis one is :)
19:05:16bluebrotherit's similar to the sims: they are also build regularly but you can't download them
19:05:17preglowwe've got space to burn, why bother about another set of builds just for 6kb?
19:05:36amiconnpreglow: E.g. because it has other implications that just the 6K
19:05:45preglowamiconn: 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 ;)
19:06:33bluebrother4MiB iirc
19:06:40amiconnA 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
19:07:19Slasheri|Rincewind|: 2 MiB
19:07:21bluebrotherI agree
19:07:25SlasheriH300 has 4
19:07:27amiconnIt'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?
19:07:55amiconnThere are several other mods which are all disabled by default
19:08:29Slasheri|Rincewind|: just bootloader, rockbox and rombox
19:08:32amiconnAlarm mod for recorder v1, 8MB (somewhat special case), backlight for Ondio, autorock...
19:08:45preglowamiconn: true
19:09:02|Rincewind|I thought with flashed rockbox the dircache hibernates?
19:09:11Slasheri|Rincewind|: bootloader is 64 KiB fixed, rambox and rombox has both about 1 MiB
19:09:42Slasheri|Rincewind|: yes, but it hibernates on disk
19:09:52|Rincewind|ah ok
19:09:54Slasheriflash is not big enoug to hold that

19:12:19amiconnSurely not

19:12:24Slasherithat is still a major feature to some users (and growing number of them)
19:12:24preglowhaha
19:13:03amiconnSlasheri: Sure, and I'm not saying that the feature should be removed
19:13:42amiconnIt should just be disabled for official builds, easily enabled by users experienced enough to do the mod
19:13:53pixelmabut honestly - I think people who do the mod should be able to compile... it's not that hard
19:14:19amiconnI still wonder why the 8MB builds are provided explicitly, imho they shouldn't

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
19:24:42bluebrother|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
19:25:16pixelma|Rincewind|: the clock plugin won't go away when updating (unless they delete it)
19:25:18|Rincewind|*their
19:25:27bluebrotherif 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.

19:32:06bluebrotherperl|work: I know that, but how is it represented? Does it get a single entry in the playlist or multiple?
19:32:26bluebrotherand how are the tags handled if it's a single entry? They "simply" change?
19:32:32amiconnperl|work: It's "enable the option, *reboot*, then use it"
19:32:56*bluebrother should get something with cue file
19:32:59perl|worksingle entry, you see the track marks on the progress bar and can skip through the tracks, each track tags are being showed
19:33:04jhMikeSpreglow: when you think low latency for playback output, what magnitude comes to mind for time? I have it fairly well worked out by now.
19:34:10preglowjhMikeS: hmm, would have to try, 100ms?
19:34:18preglowjhMikeS: how would you go about it?
19:34:36jhMikeSmultichannel with automatic envelopes. probably a thread to do the work
19:35:04preglowautomatical envelopes? eh?
19:35:16preglowi mean how would you handle the actual low-latency part?
19:35:33preglowand where does envelopes fit in?
19:36:13jhMikeSthe dsp processes the channels, sums them, and then sends them to DMA...so the part between the DSP and DMA is the latency
19:36:42jhMikeS100ms should be an eternity.
19:36:46preglowso you're moving dsp to the very latest part of the chain
19:37:01amiconn.cue support doesn't work at all on archos
19:37:02jhMikeSAuto envelopes come in with fading
19:37:02preglowi expect you'll have trouble making some people accept the pcm buffer should be 32 bit :>
19:37:21jhMikeSThe upstream part won't have to be...it can be codec depth
19:37:23amiconnNeither do the trackmarks appear, nor is it possible to skip between them
19:37:33preglowjhMikeS: well, yes, 32 bits
19:37:45jhMikeSfor the most part but not a requirement
19:37:53preglowi guess
19:37:57preglowwell, sounds like pure gold to me
19:38:31jhMikeSFour channels: codec1, codec2, voice, beep. beep doesn't need to take buffer space though

19:49:47jhMikeS.1s should be fine for that really

19:56:33jhMikeSexact same mechanism for fade in/out
19:57:03jhMikeSand if I feed like being fancy, soft muting for channels starts and stops
19:57:43*amiconn prefers to stay fade-free
19:57:57amiconnBut yeah, there are other advantages
19:57:57preglowthen you don't need to enable fades

19:58:16preglowno clicks on pause, that way
19:58:24preglowalso, this way we can do fades when voice clips occur

20:17:46bluebrotheraustriancoder: we talked about that a bit earlier today. Sounds a bit like you want to have some binary skins ...
20:18:14austriancoderbluebrother: ah.. will check the logs.. yes binary skins
20:18:28jhMikeSpreglow: 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?
20:18:32bluebrotherI don't see any advantages in binary skins
20:19:02bluebrotherI'd rather use a more powerful markup like the current wps does
20:19:07austriancoderbluebrother: you can abstract the way everything is drawn in rockbox.. menus link on the original sansa firmware are possible
20:19:32preglowjhMikeS: why would you want to be able to do them in any order?
20:19:46bluebrotherbut do we want that much abstraction? I like it pretty much RB looks similar on all devices
20:20:22austriancoderbluebrother: even with compiled skins.. rockbox will look the same on every target, which uses the skin
20:20:37markunaustriancoder: I think it's a good idea to separate the UI from the rest of rockbox
20:20:48bluebrotherand that would work with different screen sizes?
20:21:17pixelmabluebrother: 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
20:21:21austriancoderbluebrother: i hope i get this..
20:21:46markunpixelma: and especially the WPS..
20:22:11bluebrotherpixelma: I thought about that too. But if a user sets recording as startup screen I don't see a problem
20:22:14austriancoderbluebrother: it should be possible to give relative sizes and positions
20:22:25bluebrotheronly for resuming. But I overlooked that ;-)

20:49:46Nico_Pyes that's probably the problem
20:49:49amiconnBut I don't really understand hwo and where that's supposed to happen
20:49:57amiconn*how
20:50:36linuxstbIt 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.
20:50:41Nico_Pamiconn: in principle, it happens at the same time as the loading of the track

20:55:26linuxstbfirmware/mpeg.c etc
20:55:44Nico_Pok, i'll have a quick look
20:55:53mashonperhaps you can all help.. Im new to rockbox but own a nano 2. Why wont the nano 2 run rockbox? Is it just undeveloped or are there some sorts of nasty binary signing going on? In other words: can we expect sometime to have 2nd gen or not?

20:56:43linuxstbThe 2nd gen Nano is completely different internally to the other ipods.
20:57:09linuxstbNico_P: The problem is that firmware code can't call apps/ code...
20:57:40preglowmy favourite issue
20:57:41Nico_Plinuxstb: hmm that's a problem indeed
20:57:56preglowi had to install a plugin from firmware/sound.c to apps/dsp.c
20:58:13jhMikeSpreglow: one of my top 10 at least...not that I have a list written down
20:58:29linuxstbNico_P: I think you have two options - move the cuesheet code to firmware/ or unify the playback engines...
20:58:52amiconnlinuxstb: Some other features already use callbacks afaik
20:58:55Nico_Plinuxstb: i'll leave the second to amiconn if he doesn't mind

20:59:50Nico_Pi'll have a look

21:46:09pixelmamaybe someone has an idea... I'm still trying to figure out why I had a scrobbler-log all of a sudden the other day on my Ondio, where it's been said that it wouldn't work on Archos
21:46:10jhMikeSso what's a fair going price on a Gigabeat anyway?
21:46:22preglowlinuxstb: so, you conclude it works nice on 4g now, tjen?
21:46:23preglowthen too
21:46:33linuxstbYes, two tests, both worked.

21:48:12preglownot at all
21:48:15preglowit's just for easy testing

21:48:42preglowthe 4g bootloader code is quite similar to the nano code

21:49:52linuxstbI think of the color as a 4g, but try to distinguish...
21:49:54pixelmaI wanted to find out what caused the scrobbler-log to be created. It contained the content of two folders that I listened to but IIRC I listened to some more that day. I let the feature set to on but nothing's been added since then - does anyone have an idea what I could look for?
21:50:05bluebrotherdiff -u /dev/null file.c >> diff
21:50:15bluebrotheror svn add them first
21:50:21|Rincewind|i want to use svn diff
21:50:21linuxstbYou can just do "svn add file.c" before the diff.
21:50:22bluebrotherbut I prefer the first way
21:50:38linuxstbsvn add doesn't require write access, unlike cvs.
21:50:47|Rincewind|is there a bad side effect if I svn add?
21:51:12bluebrotherdon't know ... maybe you'll need to svn remove them at some point again ;-)
21:51:46obopixelma: 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
21:51:53linuxstbI can't imagine what kind of side-effects you're worried about.

21:55:41bluebrotheri.e. reverting the patch first
21:55:41pixelmaobo: 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
21:55:41markunI think it's a good idea anyway to check the patch with and editor, in case it includes some unwanted changes
21:56:58x1jmpreverting 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
