#rockbox log for 2007-03-01

00:00:33jhMikeSrather astounding I don't make that typo more often
00:00:41jhMikeSor ever, even
00:02:04obopetur: I think 5495 should be fixed by changing the way that the changed_event callback works instead of calling scrobbler directly within the playback code - otherwise there would be issues with the HWCODEC targets? (calling /apps from /firmware?)
00:02:38amiconnahaaaaa!
00:02:43amiconnMy theory was correct
00:02:51jhMikeSeverything seems to end up getting hacked into playback.c somehow
00:02:52peturobo: I'm not familiar with the code but maybe I should dive into it
00:03:08preglowamiconn: i get a lot of compiler warnings from functions taking function pointers when taking a function with ICODE_ATTR before its declaration here
00:03:08*amiconn now has an even more weird progress bar with 36 marks spread onto only 112 pixels
00:04:09obopetur: I tried to fix it that way, but got lost in playback.c - I think I managed to get the first track to log, but all others then caused 2 events
00:04:18linuxstbDoes hwcodec load the next track info even if the next track isn't buffered?
00:04:21amiconn...and apart from the fact that the subtrack skip doesn't unpause, it works now (!!!)
00:04:31amiconnlinuxstb: nope
00:04:56amiconnNext track info is only available on hwcodec if the track is at least partially buffered
00:08:28 Quit bluebrother ("leaving")
00:09:09 Quit midkay ("Leaving")
00:10:43jhMikeSpreglow: like pcm playback stuff? you have to use far pointers now or something? (in re: to removing long calls)
00:10:46preglowamiconn: how do you think we tell gcc that mem* is long_call when it uses them itself for struct init and such? :/
00:11:00preglowjhMikeS: pointers are always far
00:11:07preglowjhMikeS: it's just a semantic issue
00:11:13 Quit roolku ()
00:11:15amiconneurgh....
00:11:18preglowjhMikeS: the functions have a section attribute, but a function type can't have a section attribute
00:11:23jhMikeSdin't know if the changes changed that :\
00:11:25preglowbut gcc still nags
00:12:00*preglow wonders if gcc has a flag for not using mem*
00:12:04preglowbut i think it requires them

00:13:43jhMikeSmisread even
00:13:58peturobo: if the logfile says S it means skipped, right? Well I played the track 3/4 pressed stop and is is marked 'S'
00:14:00 Quit Febs (Read error: 110 (Connection timed out))
00:14:31oboYup, S is skipped. Is that with 6213 applied?
00:14:41peturboth
00:15:41oboweird - I thought the end of play issues were solved by that patch - I'll have to take another look at it again tomorrow
00:16:07obowhich target was that on?
00:16:19peturh300
00:16:29oboI guess those have a real stop button?

00:16:50petur...which I used
00:16:59obookay - I've only got an ipod, so might have missed something there
00:17:02Nico_Pamiconn: well done and thanks for looking into it
00:17:14Nico_Pi'm sorry i didn't answer, i was on the phone
00:17:23amiconnNico_P: I'll commit the gwps-common fix soonish
00:17:30Nico_Pcool :)
00:17:32jhMikeSpreglow: dllexport? :P
00:17:37amiconnJust want dmdfan to test whether it also fixes his issue
00:17:42Nico_Pso what's the state ? it works on HWCODEC ?
00:17:52amiconnNot fully, and it's a hack
00:18:01Nico_Pok
00:18:23amiconnFirst issue is that I did tha badness and just declared two apps/ functions directly in mpeg.c
00:18:34amiconnThat's for testing of course
00:18:49amiconnThe other issue is that skipping subtracks doesn't unpause
00:19:22jhMikeSpreglow: I think it's long_call/short_call, fer real. "This attribute specifies how a particular function is called on ARM."
00:19:22amiconn...so that if you skip, playback ends up paused. Manual unpausing makes it continue from where it should (i.e. the skip destination)
00:19:43Nico_Pthat would be in cuesheet.c:curr_cuesheet_skip()
00:19:54jhMikeSdoes it have that attribute or am I just spewing?
00:20:11Nico_Pactuallay no, seek()
00:21:04Nico_Pthere's a special #ifdef for HWCODEC and it does lack un unpause call
00:21:12preglowdllexport?
00:21:22preglowwhat?

00:28:42amiconnNico_P: I think the audio_pause() call is unnecessary
00:29:22Nico_Pwell at some places where seeking is done there is such an #if to call audio_pause() for HWCODEC targets
00:29:39Nico_Pi just assumed it was required, having no targets to test on
00:30:26 Join fasmaie [0] (n=yohann@71.233.79.102)
00:30:36amiconnAfaik that's just to pause while seeking interactively, i.e. while holding 'left' or 'Right'

00:32:12Nico_Pok
00:34:05pregloweven with ICODE_ATTR both at def and decl, i still get truncated relocations from time to time
00:34:12jhMikeSpreglow: no, long_call/short_call? :) doesn't work?
00:35:36jhMikeSpersonally I'd try those out
00:35:42preglowlong_call is embedded in ICODE_ATTR
00:35:51preglowso i use that
00:36:02jhMikeSah...so never mind my bs ;)
00:36:05preglowusing short_call would mean tagging everything not ICODE_ATTR with an attribute, which is a bit of work :)
00:36:15amiconnNico_P: Hmm, seems you're right

00:46:33amiconntpf *is* included in the assembler
00:47:09amiconnBut you can't use it the way it makes most sense - putting another instruction as the data part of tpf.w or tpf.l
00:47:22preglowexactly
00:47:39amiconnI honestly can't imagine how that should look in clean assembler syntax...

00:51:17jhMikeSI think if I saw tpf.l in the assembler I'd get the idea :)
00:52:07amiconnIt's either 0x51fa or 0x51fb

01:05:22amiconnNothing new...
01:06:18amiconnjhMikeS: trap and trapf are related insofar as trapf means "trap false", i.e. a trap that is guaranteed to be never taken...
01:08:35jhMikeSi understand. it seems gcc spits out a whole different bunch of mnemonics esp. with branch instructions so doesn't suprise me it has aliases for tpf
01:09:51 Quit fasmaie (Remote closed the connection)

01:33:28amiconnI'm still against the concept. Strictly.
01:33:39amiconnBut I'm even more against half-working features
01:35:20Nico_Pwell thanks for making it work
01:35:20amiconn...and the subtrack support might be useful for when multi-track files get supported
01:35:44Nico_Pwhat do you have in mind ?
01:35:48amiconnThat's another odd concept imho, but those files exist and unlike with .cue there is no easy workaround
01:36:03amiconnI mean things like multi-track mods
01:36:27Nico_Pi tjink i tried to have a look at those, but they are strange things
01:36:33Nico_Pthey have no length
01:36:48amiconnIt depends on th eformat whether they have a length
01:37:07amiconnI'm not (only) talking sid here, in fact I'm not interested in sid
01:37:25Nico_Pah yes i'm probably confused with sid
01:38:10preglowif they have no lengths, you use a default length until we have metadata support
01:38:21pregloweven sids can have length, but they're all stored in a long textfile database
01:38:34amiconnThe build system seems to be almost asleep....
01:39:54barrywardell_Domonoky: you want me to test rbutil on my H10?
01:39:57Nico_Pi'll try to have a look at MOD
01:40:11Nico_Pthe one i'd love to have is MP4 chapters
01:40:23amiconnNico_P: The only place where I actually use .cue files is when copying audio CDs. I prefer to rip with EAC but EAC can't handle my burner, so I rip to .wav+.cue then burn with nero

01:42:55barrywardell_I do
01:42:59Nico_Pamiconn: probably, yes. but that makes it cool to have cue support in rockbox
01:43:01Domonokynice, thx
01:43:10amiconnMy CD I used for making the test cue/mp3 is a live dj set, and I can play it gapless on all my targets when split into multiple mp3s
01:43:18barrywardell_what do I need to do? just compile and run it?
01:43:29barrywardell_from SVN?
01:43:45Nico_Pamiconn: that's what i used to do too, but it's nice not to have to bother cutting the files

02:14:27LloreanBigMac: It doesn't look like it's fully cross-target yet.
02:14:52BigMacOh, a patch has to be committed for all targets?
02:14:57amiconnIt would give us 2 calendards which aren't cross-target

02:17:21BigMacLlorean: I am not sure, but i thought rockboy did not work on the nano
02:17:44LloreanBigMac: Rockboy dates back to before there was a Nano port. When it happened, it ran on the one single target that could support it.
02:17:52preglowwhat would be cool is if the calendar could record small voice clips

02:18:48barrywardell_could the one in FS not replace the existing calendar? or would it be better to update the calendar in SVN for newer targets?
02:18:49LloreanBigMac: Basically, a plugin should work on all targets where it makes sense before it's included, then _hopefull_ people will update it to new targets as Rockbox comes to them, but sometimes larger hurdles (like the Nano's screen attributes) keep it from happening for a while.

02:19:54BigMacH3xx,H100,iPod 3/4 G, Archos Ondio/Recorder, iAudio X5
02:20:02amiconnbarrywardell: No it can't, because it doesn't work on the target where the svn calendar does
02:20:08BigMacwell what other targets would it need to be on
02:20:30LloreanBigMac: Which leaves off Gigabeat, 5G iPod, H10 20gb, H10 5/6gb
02:20:39LloreanAnd probably Sandisk Sansa e200 should be done too, at this point.
02:20:41amiconnThe Ondio has no RTC
02:20:50Lloreanamiconn: Neither did the H100 back then.
02:21:03barrywardellamiconn: yes, but if it was adapted to the remaining targets
02:21:03LloreanIt'd still be useful for marking down events on specific dates.
02:21:14MonkeyTamerhas the root menu been committed or not? Sorry if I'm just blind and did not see the commit on the front page, but I tried to patch and it claimed the svn had already been patched on a free revision
02:21:25preglowMonkeyTamer: no, but i don't think it'll be long
02:21:25amiconnbarrywardell: Yes, sure, but that didn't happen, even though suggested. More than once.
02:21:25barrywardellit does work on H10 20GB too
02:21:39BigMachmm
02:21:49MonkeyTameroh ok, cool, thanks
02:21:56pixelmaMonkeyTamer: that is because the patch is not clean - hasn't been committed yet
02:22:00amiconnIt's a question of adapting to varying screen sizes (small screen in this case)
02:22:02BigMacI thought it said somewhere that it was on the 5g but I was probably just reading what I wanted to see
02:22:03Lloreanbarrywardell: I was just responding to BigMac's list.
02:22:58*amiconn would still like to disable rtc support in the official H1x0 builds
02:23:00preglowamiconn: it can't be commited because it doesn't support the one target the one in svn does, even when commiting it would add support for loads more targets than just the old one?
02:23:15preglowodd reasoning
02:23:40LloreanIt really should be updated to support 'all' targets, though
02:23:40preglowbut it should of course support all targets
02:23:43preglowindeed
02:23:47amiconnIt could, but it shouldn't
02:24:06amiconnThen we would have 2 completely disjuct plugins for the same purpose in svn
02:24:15preglowamiconn: no, we boot out the old one and put in the new one
02:24:19barrywardellLlorean: ah, ok
02:24:34preglowamiconn: it seems like tons less work to adapt this one to the other platforms than the old one to the newer platforms
02:24:48amiconnpreglow: And remove calendar support from the target where it already exists?
02:24:53*barrywardell agrees with preglow
02:25:01preglowamiconn: no, support should of course be added to the one in flyspray
02:25:04pixelmabarrywardell: what about the 5/6GB H10?
02:25:25amiconnpreglow: Yes, but then that should happen *before* removing the other
02:25:51barrywardelldunno. haven't tested that in the sim. obviously that should be added it would go into svn
02:25:54amiconnI have no problems with new plugins being a superset of old ones

02:27:28preglowindeed
02:27:44LloreanBut others can pitch in.
02:28:03barrywardellamiconn: why not keep the existing one for the target it works on and have the new one for the newer (bitmap?) targets
02:28:30Lloreanbarrywardell: How is that better than just getting the new one more cross-target?
02:28:53jhMikeSpreglow: anything in particular that's oob? the asm is a pain to keep that way but the c should be < 80

02:30:54preglowjhMikeS: i'll tell you if i see anything else
02:30:55barrywardelltrue. i agree that the best route is to adapt the new one to all targets.
02:31:21jhMikeSpreglow: did I suddenly create a pita situation with all the pointer calls in dsp.c for arm or anything ? :o
02:32:01preglowjhMikeS: don't think so, no
02:32:16jhMikeSgood 'cause it work so durn well for that :)
02:32:18preglowwhy would pointer calls matter for arm?
02:32:38jhMikeSI have no idea...just wondering given what's going on removing long calls
02:33:05Lloreanbarrywardell: I also think that allowing plugins in without cross-target support pretty much removes any incentive for the original author to even try for it outside their own desire, since their desire for having their code included can then be attained without it. Which means, to me, there's a chance of more fractioning between target 'features'
02:33:08preglowthose instructions are only used for fixed position relative calls
02:33:23preglowif you jump through a pointer, you always load the pointer to a reg first then jump to that, so no worries there
02:33:35barrywardellLlorean: yes, I do agree with that point

02:34:51*JdGordon 's connection to svn. is still down, so wont be commitning before sunrise your time...
02:35:05preglowjhMikeS: you're absolutely sure doing a seperate pass for each channel in the sampler is faster?
02:35:09preglowjhMikeS: seems a bit counterintuitive to me
02:35:41preglowseparate, even
02:37:08preglowresampler...
02:37:35pixelmaJdGordon: just make sure that some agreement is there
02:37:56JdGordonthats the impression I got from the logs
02:38:23jhMikeSpreglow: I never got to doing both channels at once but the channel loop was better then being unrolled
02:38:49jhMikeSRegister allocation might be ok if I don't have to preserve the original address registers
02:39:55preglowah, yes, i can imagine rolling that loop would be faster
02:39:58preglowsmall point in not doing so
02:40:12pixelmaJdGordon: yes, got the same impression. I just don't want to be the last one to comment on this ;)

02:54:58jhMikeSnot guaranteed anyway
02:56:11jhMikeSwith not being allowed to write to the codecs buffer, it's back to using the temp buffer anyway :))
02:57:35preglowwhich iram buffer? the resampler buffer?
02:57:38preglowisn't that iram everywhere?
02:57:59preglowwriting to the codecs buffer isn't allowed? eh?
02:58:05preglowi thought that happened throughout
02:58:20jhMikeSI don't know. ...and doesn't it cheat and end up doing channel processing into the source?
02:58:49 Part Domonoky
02:59:39jhMikeSI guess if conversion to internal format isn't done, gain isn't applied, and resampling isn't done, then yeah, that is what happens.

03:02:53preglowi don't see why we'd ever need a helper buffer unless resampling
03:03:06jhMikeSyes and I learned crossfade atm doesn't like huge chunks
03:03:13preglowthen it should be fixed
03:03:30jhMikeSI should ... one of those things the mixboard would just make go away
03:03:42preglowbut yeah, if you ask me, we should try to keep all the action in the buffer we get from the codec as far as possible
03:03:44jhMikeSIt should
03:03:56preglowit's big, and it's almost always iram

04:29:31mrmemewell i'm not really interested in doing that anyway
04:29:39SoapEspecially when you are talking about doing it to rented songs, not purchased ones.
04:29:44alienbiker99than rockbox isnt for you i guess
04:30:24mrmemeIf you rent the songs legally why would it be illegal for rockbox to allow you to play the songs
04:30:28SoapRockbox won't support DRM because DRM depends on security through obscurity.

However, the player cannot read the hard drive. This could be because of the system files or because the hard drive no longer works as it should have!

04:53:56jhulstGot it, thanks
04:55:34AaronAny thoughts on that Soap?
04:55:51SoapNope, I don't have an archos.
04:57:49AaronFrom what I head the Archos should have as good of sound quality as my 5g ipod, I can put a big HD in it, and I don't care about the size
04:57:56AaronAnd the battery life would be way more than my Ipod
04:59:31alienbiker99what size hd do you want in it
04:59:46Aaron160 gigs
04:59:59AaronI think thats the biggest that I could get

05:06:44JdGordonaliask: i might just do that...
05:06:50JdGordonnot much other options
05:07:02JdGordonbut there was more argument last night about the path... so i dunno :p
05:07:15aliaskgood to finally meet you too by the way
05:07:22JdGordon:)
05:07:23AaronDoes anyone have a comment about my battery situation?
05:07:46SoapIs the iPod under warranty?
05:07:54JdGordonim about to head off for a 2 hour lecture at caulfield... hopefully wireless works :p
05:08:00AaronYeah, but this is my issue
05:08:12AaronIf I use Itunes to restore it, it will update my firmware
05:08:28JdGordonaliask: can you get to svn. yet?
05:08:44Aaronand if I bring the Ipod in they may either A, put a new battery in in which case my firmware is the new kind, or B, try to give me an 80 gig ipod which isn't Rockbox compatible
05:08:56aliaskJdGordon: I'll leave a ping -t running :)
05:09:04JdGordonna
05:09:09AaronI should be able to download old firmware to use that installer to restore my Ipod with old software
05:09:09SoapI don't understand A
05:09:28AaronSince I don't think the Apple store would be thrilled with me if I came in and Rockbox loaded up
05:09:55SoapApple will replace the battery. If it is in Best Buys warranty period they will replace the iPod. (in my experience)
05:10:06AaronI have Best Buy's warranty too
05:10:23Aaronbut it depends if you have a Product Service Plan or Product Replacement Plan, and I'm 99 percent sure Ipods are the Replacement plan
05:10:26Soapyou only have one at any given point in time.
05:10:47AaronI don't think Bestbuy has 60 gig Ipods laying around anymore, but i could be wrong
05:10:51Soapplug it into itunes and restore that way.
05:11:06AaronItunes will update it to the newest firmware though when I restore it
05:11:16AaronAren't there issues with the newest firmware and gettin Rockbox on?
05:11:27SoapIf a 5th gen 60 gig has a dead battery already, I would suspect defective battery, and I would want to get it taken care of ASAP.
05:11:46Soapthere are no issues with apple firmware outside the 80 GB, and that will eventually get solved.
05:12:45 Quit JdGordon ("Konversation terminated!")
05:14:58AaronSo you don't think theres any chance this has somethign to do with my bootloader or software? Did you read my theory about Rockbox possibly underestimating my battery life? How does my Ipod have the energy to tell me its shutting down when everyone elses just dies?
05:15:47AaronI'm going to restore and update to 1.2.1 and see what the battery is like using Apple firmware
05:17:11SoapI firmly believe you have a flaky battery.
05:17:49AaronAnd you think Best Buy will just give me a new Ipod to walk out with that day for my batter issue?
05:17:58Soapbut, yes, until you test with Apple firmware we know nothing and assume much.
05:18:14SoapAaron: you don't have a BB AND an Apple warranty.
05:18:22SoapThe BB one kicks in after the Apple one expires.
05:19:05AaronAlright. And at the Apple store do you think they'll replace the battery while I wait or give me a new Ipod?
05:19:34SoapI don't know - I'm assuming the third option - they will replace the battery and you'll get it later.
05:20:06SoapBut from what I've heard they won't hand you a new player because of battery issues, they'll replace the battery.
05:20:36SoapBut that might depend on how much leg you flash to the clerk.
05:20:56AaronWell they gave me a new one when my Ipod dock connector was being sketchy and very selectively outputting left and right audio
05:21:16Soapyea, that's a hardware issue, not a drop-in battery issue.
05:22:00AaronBut theoretically that could have opened it up, or sent it in and put in a new female dock port
05:22:42AaronThree years ago the plastic casing over my 3g ipod lcd got corroded from this cleaner I used. I took the Ipod, put it in three plastic ziplocks, froze it for four hours
05:22:43Soapand they do - and sell them as refurbushed. The battery replacement is an order of magnitude simpler fix than any board replacement.
05:22:54AaronI then sent it into Apple and they sent me a brand new one three days later
05:23:06Soapwhy did you freeze it?
05:23:13 Quit atsea-145193 (Excess Flood)
05:23:22AaronSince I couldn't see what was going on with the screen
05:23:30AaronUnless the backlight was on
05:23:51AaronIt was all totally my fault and it was unethical of me
05:23:53Soapand the point of the freezer in this (way off topic to Rockbox) story??
05:24:14 Join atsea-145193 [0] (i=ariel@gateway/tor/x-d534b3dcb587d9dc)
05:24:22AaronThis was just a story related to Apple and there Ipod repair program
05:24:29AaronWhich is also totally off Rockbox I guess
05:25:02AaronOkay the Ipod is restored. I guess I'll throw an album on there and put it on repeat
05:25:37Soapdid you use the wiki instructions IpodInstallationBeta to install the bootloader before?
05:25:48Soap(or the manual)?
05:25:59AaronThe IpodInstallationBeta
05:26:04AaronI used that to Update it thought
05:26:10AaronTo the bootloader with the black background
05:26:19 Quit Thundercloud_ (Remote closed the connection)
05:26:19Soapand you couldn't dual boot?
05:26:22AaronBefore that the Apple OS worked, I had the blue bootloader
05:26:47AaronI can't say for sure if the problems started happening after I updated the bootloader
05:27:14AaronBut it seems like it
05:27:39AaronWhenever I charge my Ipod for a long time it almost always reports 83 percent battery life when its unplugged
05:27:59AaronI am in the Apple OS software and it says Charged right now
05:27:59Soapyep - your battery is shot.
05:28:14AaronWhile I was still running Rockbox the battery life was in the 70's
05:28:14SoapI'm willing to bet some cash.
05:29:11AaronLet me put an album on. If it lasts many hours then something was going on with Rockbox
05:30:44Soaplarger than 64MB album.
05:31:06AaronOkay
05:31:44AaronI'm going to have it put a 115 meg album on repeat
05:36:24AaronIts outputting sound through my headphone port but not through my dock
05:37:39AaronI don't see anything in the Apple OS settings to enable the line out
05:37:56Soapit is always on.
05:38:29AaronI use this Ipod dock all the time and when I plug my mini jack from the stereo the the headphone port it works but not from the Line Out on the dock
05:38:45AaronI never had single problem using it with Rockbox. The connection appears to be perfectly fine
05:42:15AaronI've tried jiggling it a lot and still not a single peep of sound of the dock
05:42:42 Join pseudo_ [0] (n=pseudo@ppp41-145.lns1.syd6.internode.on.net)
05:42:51AaronHowever its been on for 10 minutes and it still shows perfect battery life. In rockbox I wouldn't have ever showed being full and it would have dropped 10 percent by now
05:43:00 Quit printfXh4 (Read error: 113 (No route to host))
05:43:14Soapthat means nothing.
05:43:28 Nick pseudo_ is now known as printfXh4 (n=pseudo@ppp41-145.lns1.syd6.internode.on.net)
05:43:36SoapNeither you nor I know the discharge curve Apple uses to calculate their analog battery meter.
05:43:47AaronThats true
05:44:07AaronWe'll see. I want to know why my freaking dock isn't outputting sound right now
05:44:47Soapone issue at a time.
05:45:07AaronWhy would it work normally with Rockbox but not Apple OS

07:46:18Shaidtwo clicks is too many?
07:48:52*amiconn doesn't 'safely remove'
07:49:24amiconnIf caching is disabled (which it is by default for usb mass storage device), just pulling the plug works fine
07:49:39amiconnOne big advantage over linux...
07:50:34amiconn*write caching
07:51:11joshua_amiconn, that's fine on FAT32 devices, but on NTFS or ext devices you wouldn't want to do that, because that would not mark the "clean unmount" bit
07:51:15Slasherithat isn't "advantage" at all. Of course you can disable caching with linux too
07:51:31amiconnPer device?
07:51:38Slasherisure, just edit the fstab
07:51:48amiconnjoshua_: True, but then I don't use external ntfs drives
07:51:49Slasheriand use sync option or something like that
07:52:20amiconnFor some reason linux (or maybe just nautilus in this case) doesn't like surprise removal
07:52:47joshua_recent kernels have gotten better at dealing with USB devices going away
07:52:52pearldiverShaid it never works on 2nd click for me somehow
07:53:01amiconnIf I just pull one of my targets from linux (knowing nothing was written to the disk), the icon doesn't disappear, and further hot-plugs don't work
07:53:02pearldiveri have to do it all over again all the time
07:53:15joshua_in the past, that used to be a huge issue with usb serial; a serial drvice that was open would hang the system if removed (!)
07:53:24Slasheribut disabling caching also greatly slows down transfer speeds. just type umount /something and wait until writing finishes
07:54:10amiconnusb support in linux seems to be shaky in general.
07:54:40Slasheriamiconn: probably the system is not configured for hot plugging/umounting by default. I have seen that is possible but never tried to do that myself
07:54:41amiconnI got data errors in copied files; never happened on other os'es
07:55:17Slasheriwith fat32 and cleanly unmounted drive?
07:55:23amiconnyes
07:55:33Slasherinever happened to me..
07:56:00amiconnThe fat structure was intact, but I was wondering why track changes between flac files causing clicks
07:56:22amiconnTurned out that rockbox skipped prematurely due to data errors
07:56:37amiconnRe-copied the files via windows, and all was fine
07:57:27amiconnThat was in several files all copied in one go. Not reallyimproving my trust in linux' usb abilities :/

09:37:01linuxstbDataGhost: What was your approach to IPL-on-FAT32?
09:37:18Kasperleand now podzilla just says it can't contact mpd, so i guess it's not starting
09:37:19DataGhostoh and you can delete libstdcxx unless you actually have a use for it. it's huge and doens't do anything for most people
09:37:29Kasperleoh. i see
09:37:36DataGhostmpd probably can't start because the modules are taking too much memory
09:37:39Kasperlethought it was loaded as a dependency for smth
09:37:55DataGhostlinuxstb a few binaries, only the very basic folders and a file, containing ext3
09:38:15Kasperleoverall i wonder whether i have much use for ipl. rockbox cares to all my needs right now
09:38:23GodEaterLinusN: I'll pay you to work fulltime on RockBox - just don't expect the world's largest salary ;)
09:38:29LinusNlol
09:38:31Kasperleand ipl documentation seems flaky at best
09:38:40Kasperleall i see is a bunch of howtos
09:40:08DataGhostand in a few days there will be another one with the no-partitioning installation method :P
09:40:23DataGhostbut I have to wait for my kernel patch to be merged into cvs
09:40:36DataGhostbecause the thing I constructed cntains that patch in the kernel
09:40:38KasperleDataGhost: thanks for your work on 5.5g support though :)
09:40:42linuxstbDataGhost: Why not use a tiny ramfs for the /dev folder, and everything else on fat32?
09:41:09DataGhostlinuxstb I think that can be done as well, but I think symlinks were the main problem
09:41:25linuxstbAh yes, busybox...
09:41:29DataGhost:)
09:42:42DataGhostthe reason why iPL is installed the way it is on winpods (with a separate ext3 partition) is because (quote) "FAT32 is not suitable for iPL"
09:42:43linuxstbSo you'll need a /bin in the ramfs as well...
09:42:58DataGhoston HFS+ iPods the files are just extracted to the HFS+ partition
09:43:11DataGhostI don't need ramfs?
09:43:22DataGhostand that's probably not wanted since the kernel can't free memory, afaik :)
09:43:35Kasperlei think a file-backed fs is just fine
09:43:35DataGhostI just need /dev /etc /proc and /sbin on FAT32, that's it
09:43:46DataGhostno need for /bin :)
09:44:11linuxstb /dev on FAT32?
09:44:16Kasperlewhy do you need those folders on FAT32?
09:44:20DataGhostwell, it still wants to mount /dev
09:44:36DataGhostKasperle because it needs to boot off fat32, there is no other partition on winpods
09:44:47DataGhostand the file is on fat32 (in etc)
09:45:09linuxstbBut I didn't think you could have device nodes on fat32?
09:45:25DataGhostno but devfs is a separate filesystem which is just mounted in that folder
09:45:42DataGhostoh and yes some device nodes are made, but that happens in /etc/rc (on the ext3 thing)
09:45:47DataGhostit's not needed :)
09:45:50Kasperlehmmm
09:45:54DataGhostfor starting iPL in that way*
09:46:34DataGhostanyway, after it's booted it looks just like a normal iPL installation, so that's very compatible :)
09:46:37Kasperleheh. booting linux off a loop-device is a bit of a chicken and egg problem ;)
09:46:47DataGhostyeah but luckily there are tools for that :)
09:46:53linuxstbBut anyway, I think it's a good thing to be doing - it's long overdue.
09:47:05Kasperleunless you could create some initrd foo that can create the device from a file on FAT32
09:47:15DataGhostyeah linuxstb it's mainly needed for the new iPods anyway
09:47:16Kasperlebut i've not used linux in ages
09:47:17GodEaterDataGhost: is anybody besides you still *doing* any development work on iPL ?
09:47:30DataGhostas you said a few minutes ago, older iPods have iPL installed in the firmware partition
09:47:30*Kasperle is more of a bsd person
09:47:43DataGhostnewer iPods hibernate right over the iPL install when it's in firmware:(
09:47:57DataGhostGodEater I don't know.. probably they are
09:48:15GodEaterif they are - they're very quiet about it

09:48:51DataGhostyes the kernel.. it works on every iPod now, so there's no real push to release a new one

10:40:03GodEateramiconn: who is it useful to ?
10:41:29amiconnWell, it's used for battery runtime estimation and charging time estimation
10:42:01amiconn...and since you can have different batteries installed, the setting isn't constant
10:46:35GodEateryes but I can't remember the last time someone who asked about it on the forums was answered with anything other than "it hasn't been calibrated for your target, so it's pointless"
10:47:10GodEaterso what I'm asking is - which targets does it work properly on, and which ones doesn't it ?
10:48:54amiconnThere is no much point in calibrating for ipods until the runtime issues get sorted

10:52:40pondlifeJdGordon: Quick settings question?
10:52:52GodEaterand I think there's EVERY point calibrating it for iPods since we have not even a vague clue of when the runtime issues are likely to get sorted
10:53:36pondlifeIt still needs recalibrating for H300, doesn't it?
10:53:51n1spondlife: sure does
10:53:56pondlifeI can do that if there's a procedure...
10:54:16pondlifei.e. standard file type/bitrate?
10:54:23DataGhostlet's hope this isn't any ordinary infinite loop and that access is actually performing something that'll end with a usable result
10:54:28JdGordonpondlife: only if your very quick.. or can wait an hour?
10:54:28DataGhostand let's hope it's done after my shower :P
10:54:35pondlifeVery quick
10:54:39amiconnpondlife: Just run a battery benchmark, preferably with our kinda-standard 192kbps mp3
10:55:02amiconnIdeally we'd need such benchmarks from more than one unit of a type
10:55:08pondlifeJdGordon: When I go into a numeric setting and exit without changing, it displays cancelled. Is this a bug?
10:55:38pondlifeIt doesn't do that for option settings unless the selection changed.
10:55:46amiconnThere are a couple of currents to calibrate, one of which is the backlight current
10:56:02amiconnNot sure about what brightness we should measure at
10:56:04JdGordonpondlife: you sure? I thought it did that for everything...
10:56:14JdGordonwe decided left will accept so that will be fixed
10:56:19pondlifeNo!!
10:56:19JdGordonbut I have to run off now
10:56:24pondlifeLeft cannot accept
10:56:25JdGordonhehe
10:56:38JdGordonback in an hour or so
10:56:44*pondlife trusts you are joking, good luck in all you do!
10:57:35BigBambiI find the battery setting useful in my H140 - I have a 2200 mAh battery installed, and changing the setting in rockbox gives a much better estimation of runtime
10:58:18pondlifeamiconn: OK, so just run battery_bench from full to death with a set of 192kbps mp3s? Backlight won't be involved in that much, so I assume you'd measure that seperately somehow?
10:58:46pondlifeThis is with a standard battery, about 9 months old but seems to be holding up ok
10:59:12amiconnIf we can't measure that separately, we'd need two runs, one without backlight active during playback, and one with backlight on all the time
10:59:20pondlifeOK
10:59:29GodEaterBigBambi: that would imply then that it's been cailbrated for the H1x0
10:59:34*amiconn thinks he already did such benchmarks a while back
10:59:41amiconnHave to dig up the files...
10:59:43BigBambiYes, afaik
11:00
11:00:15pondlifeamiconn: OK, I'll do a run anyway, the more the merrier.
11:00:27pondlife(2 runs - backlight on/off)
11:00:57*amiconn thinks we should probably take backlight brightness into account on H300 and X5
11:01:28amiconnLinusN: Do you have some wires attached to a H300 so you can measure current consumption?
11:02:04LinusNyes i have, at home
11:02:43amiconnCould you measure current consumption of the backlight versus brightness setting?
11:03:06LinusNsure, remind me when i get home :-)
11:04:20amiconnAnd could you also do the same for X5?

11:13:48XavierGrpondlife of course left will be accept, it always have been that way, someone changed it to cancel and it plain, annoying confusing and unintuitive
11:14:00XavierGr+is
11:14:06BigBambiI agree
11:14:44XavierGrback = not cancel
11:14:51XavierGrback = I want to go in the previous menu
11:14:55*n1s doesn't see it as 'accept' but more as 'leave setting without cancelling' but yeah

11:19:43pondlifeXavierGr: Left = go back without changing setting
11:20:00pondlifeSTOP is awkward to use
11:20:09pondlifeBetter to stick to just the arrows if possibl

11:20:26pondlifeWhat device do you use?

11:20:49pondlifeI don't think if it as cancel.

11:21:23pondlifeI didn't know it had been changed, it always seemed intuitive to me
11:21:24XavierGrlet me tell you another example
11:21:30XavierGryou just want to look at the value
11:21:41XavierGrright now you will have to press right to see the value then right to exit again
11:21:48XavierGrthen left to go to the previous menu
11:21:50pondlifeNo
11:21:52XavierGrthat is just horrible
11:21:59pondlifeJust press RIGHT or SELECT once
11:22:17pondlifeI'm running with the root_menu patch, maybe it's changed?
11:22:19XavierGryeah but then if you want to go further back you will have to press left
11:22:36pondlife?
11:22:48pondlifeSorry, I don't understand
11:22:50XavierGrprevious the option menu that you are in I mean
11:23:15XavierGrnavigation should stick to left/right without having to wait for spash screens etc
11:23:20pondlifeOK, I go into an option menu and want to change an option, so I select the new option and press RIGHT
11:23:28pondlifeIt goes back out immediately, without a splash
11:23:29XavierGryes
11:23:37XavierGrbut if you push left
11:23:50XavierGrit cancels you get the spash
11:24:07XavierGrand then exits the option
11:24:09pondlifeIf I push left it should not change the option.
11:24:33pondlifeThe splash should only be displayed if I had selected another option, but there is a bug where it displays too often
11:24:48XavierGrif you changed an option and don't want to change it then that's what stop is for
11:24:53pondlifeYou already have both RIGHT and SELECT/NAVI to change
11:24:53XavierGrbecause that is rare
11:24:57pondlifeNo STOP is to stop playback
11:25:19pondlifeSTOP and PLAY are not involved in the menus
11:25:20XavierGrwell I don't agree with that at all
11:25:31XavierGrcanceling an option is just so rare
11:25:39pondlifeIt's not Cancelling
11:25:42pondlifeIt's leaving
11:25:45XavierGrbut navigating fast is very common
11:26:07pondlifeJust press RIGHT or SELECT , it works very fast
11:26:10*linuxstb finds left-to-cancel 100% intuitive
11:26:30*n1s finds it 100% stupis :-P
11:26:32XavierGr:D
11:26:37n1ss/d/
11:26:48*linuxstb also knows his brain is wired differently to everyone else when it comes to the Rockbox UI so has given up
11:26:52XavierGrback != cancel
11:26:59*pondlife is the same as linuxstb then
11:27:09pondlifeIT'S NOT CANCEL!!
11:27:13pondlifeSorry to shout
11:27:25XavierGrbut right now it is
11:27:27pondlifeThe splash is annoying
11:27:33pondlifeThat is a bug though
11:27:37pondlifeI will fix it
11:27:42fejfighterfor me its oops wrong setting i want to go back ie left
11:27:50n1sheh, I try to stay out of as many UI discussions as I can because they always turn into an agument about opinnions....
11:28:01pondlifeFor me it's I want to leave without risking an accidental change
11:28:07linuxstbThe splash is good, because cancel is a rare action, and it's good to get confirmation that your change hasn't happened.
11:28:21pondlifeYes, but it shouldn't display if you didn't change
11:28:22XavierGrfor me it is I want to get back whatever the option is now
11:28:26pondlifeThat's the bug
11:29:03n1sfor me it's like change setting, press left "cancelled" darn, go back change again press select, I will *never* use right to go back *never*!!111 :-P
11:29:17XavierGrexactly
11:29:21XavierGrI get this all the time
11:29:33XavierGrI want to change a setting and I always get the splash screen
11:29:51linuxstbThen the splash screen is doing its job...
11:30:11XavierGryeah that's why my preference is STOP = cancle
11:30:15XavierGrcancel too
11:30:22linuxstbNot all targets have a STOP button though.
11:30:25pondlifeSo how do I stop playback?
11:30:37XavierGrin the menu?
11:30:48n1swe can use rec to cancel if we don't want to use stop tho
11:30:55pondlifeUrgh

11:31:57XavierGr(and apply my change)
11:32:04pondlifeRight/Select are both SELECT
11:32:24pondlifei.e. they perform a sensible action on the highlighted option.
11:32:41pondlifeIn this case, it's most sensible to take that setting on.
11:33:11amiconnlinuxstb: Before button actions, Left and Right worked the same in settings (as well as play/select on targets where that exists as a center button)
11:33:12BigBambiI dislike left to cancel mainly because it was for ages left to accept, and I got used to it
11:33:25XavierGrthat too
11:33:30amiconn...and Stop/Off was cancel, as cancelling a setting is a rare operation
11:33:31pondlifeI used to prefer that too, but am now used to the new way
11:33:35BigBambiI could learn this I suppose, but as has been said, the most annoying thing is the bloody splash
11:33:46XavierGrI fully agree with amiconn on that
11:33:52XavierGrcancel needs a special button
11:34:04XavierGrin all GUIs back is not changing the options you changed
11:34:15XavierGrin most rather
11:34:18BigBambiI would vote for the original left and right both accept, but I don't really care ;)
11:34:19linuxstbWhat about targets without a dedicated STOP/OFF button? For example, on ipods a long-press on PLAY/PAUSE isn't an intuitive way to cancel a setting.
11:34:25amiconnCancel should be stop or off depending on target, and probably rec on X5
11:34:34pondlifeI like left on H300 though
11:34:38pondlife;)
11:35:10pondlifeIt's like the file browser. I decided not to play that track..
11:35:35pondlifeAnyway, in other key map news... does anyone know the key combo to display the pitch screen on H300 WPS?
11:35:40BigBambipondlife: just kill the splash and I'll change my position and agree with you!
11:35:49pondlifeOnly the unneeded splash
11:35:52BigBambiyeah
11:35:55pondlifeYep
11:35:57linuxstbI just think we have the three most consistently available buttons (left/right/select) doing the same thing is a waste...
11:36:15linuxstbs/we have/having/
11:36:19amiconnThe splash isn't unneeded, *especially* when cancel stays on that unintuitive 'Left' button
11:36:35pondlifeNo, it is unneeded if you didn't change anything
11:36:40pondlifeThat's when it's annoying
11:36:54pondlifeCompare a numeric setting to an option..
11:36:57BigBambiIt really slows down navigation (when not changing anything)
11:36:57linuxstbpondlife: Only if you _know_ you didn't change anything.
11:37:10linuxstbAnd how does Rockbox know what you know?
11:37:19markunamiconn: useful for what?
11:37:38BigBambilinuxstb: because you didn't go up or down the list?
11:37:38JdGordonlinuxstb: we can easily remeber the value it started in
11:37:51pondlifeWe already do, it just doesn't quite work properly
11:38:08*JdGordon gone again
11:38:18linuxstbBigBambi: So if you move down, and then back to the old option, the splash should appear?

11:38:54markunamiconn: if it is we shouldn't remove it of course, but I thought it was only used in runtime calculation, which I think is not working very well on SWCODEC targets
11:39:06BigBambiIf you haven't changed anything, you haven't really cancelled and don't need to be told
11:39:21BigBambiIs it possible to remember the setting on entering the screen and compare it?
11:39:41amiconnmarkun: It is working if it's calibrated
11:39:44XavierGrmarkun: what's wrong with runtime calculation?

11:40:10preglowif you're like me switching wildly between ogg, flac and mp3, you won't get very good readings
11:40:11amiconnpreglow: Sure does, it's an estimation not a prediction
11:40:38XavierGreven if it is a wrong estimation I still think it is good that exists
11:40:46markunI don't see how it is better indication of the runtime than just looking at the battery percentage..
11:40:48preglowi'd just as soon remove the entire feature
11:40:56preglowthe battery reading is pretty much all i need
11:41:10XavierGrwell some people like other things :P
11:41:12preglowmarkun: agreed...
11:41:33XavierGrI always use it to see something more than the battery meter
11:41:35amiconnRuntime estimation does *not* only take the percentage into account
11:41:37markunalso depends on the age of the battery
11:41:54markunand if you have dircache on or not and how much you browse
11:42:21XavierGrI still think it is a nice feature to have
11:42:33XavierGrnot only that but it can always be extened to be more accurate

12:28:47pondlifeAlso if Database browser had "Database" rather than "Browse By..."
12:28:50pondlifeConsistency
12:29:03pondlifeCurrently it has no heading in the root, only in subdirs
12:29:22preglowit has a heading in subdirs?

12:29:39pondlifeObviously no headings if not configured
12:29:44preglowghahaaah
12:29:45decayedcellhmm the top is called Rockbox, not Root Menu
12:29:54preglowi think i updated without reverting the patch :///
12:29:58pondlifeNo build
12:30:08preglowdecayedcell: yeah, see

12:37:46JdGordon__hey daurnimator
12:38:13pondlifeSeems inconsistent that other options all go back with a press of left, except Files and Database :(
12:38:28*decayedcell feels the same

12:40:30JdGordon__thanks safetydan
12:40:43LinusNpondlife: i could possibly go with the left-to-root, but the browser will still remember the position
12:40:49JdGordon__is it on build.rockbox yet?
12:41:11safetydanJdGordon__, don't think so. root_menu.c:143 and 144 seem to be an issue
12:41:19hcsLinusN: I'd think left to root only at root of file browser
12:41:27pondlifeLinusN: That would be fine. But I think a bit of thought could resolve this both ways.
12:41:27LinusNof course
12:41:39pondlifeAnd database browser
12:41:48LinusNwe should be consistent in either case
12:41:53*decayedcell boots into windows

13:27:41pondlifeIt just doesn't warn if you hadn't changed the option.
13:27:49XavierGrit just won't show a splash if you didn't change anything
13:27:50preglowah, that's ok
13:27:56 Part DerPapst
13:28:08preglowjust thought it didn't tell you if you actually cancelled
13:28:08pondlifeI know better than to change the button maps ;)
13:28:10preglowand that would be bad
13:30:52XavierGrI will have to learn all those actions I keep pressing the wrong buttons to navigate
13:31:06JdGordonBagder: can you get it to start the source gzip before the compiles start (in a seperate thread) instead of doing it after they are finished?
13:31:10*JdGordon is imaptient :p
13:33:10preglowtake it easy
13:33:10XavierGrso lets say that I am in the root menu, except selecting the Files option isn't there any other way to go to the file browser?
13:33:29LinusNamiconn: 2 builds because it
13:33:54LinusNis convenient to not have to build your own, and to see if a commit breaks the h100 rtc support
13:34:30preglowhe does raise a valid point with the 8 meg mod build, btw, can we drop that? :>
13:34:31amiconnWith the same reasoning all the other mods should get their own builds...
13:34:36preglowit's hard to break that build
13:34:42amiconnWould make the number of builds explode
13:34:58preglowit should depend on how popular a mod is too, if you ask me
13:35:04preglowthe h120 rtc mod seems to be fairly popular
13:35:06LinusNwhat other mods?
13:35:13amiconnHow do you measure popularity?
13:35:31amiconnLinusN: autorock, Ondio backlight, alarm on recv1, ...
13:36:05JdGordonautorock should be enabled by default imo
13:36:05LinusNpopular == more than X people are using it regularly
13:36:22JdGordoneven tho i doubt anyone ever uses it :p
13:36:26preglowautorkc+
13:36:27amiconnMore than X in relation to the total number of users for a target?

13:39:28preglowi don't think building all mods is a bad idea, really, but it shouldn't happen at every commit
13:39:44preglowbut then we'd need a build table for that too, which probably is a bit of a bother
13:39:49linuxstbThat's good for checking broken builds though...

13:43:47pondlifeA bit like the term "root" menu..
13:44:23pondlifeIt would be nice to be able to skip from Database to File system just using the arrow keys..
13:44:24hcsseems that the hierarchy is implied by having file browser accessible from a menu
13:44:29XavierGrJdGordon are you going to adapt the Recording menu on the new systemn too?
13:45:04JdGordon__XavierGr: I tihnk im going to cheat and fix the old menu backend to use the new code

13:47:07JdGordonpondlife: sunday hopefully
13:47:18XavierGrthat doesn't apply for the radio though, if you press play it will get you to the radio (if you are in the root menu) but not if you are anywhere else
13:47:18JdGordonassuming i can access svn by then
13:47:27JdGordoncorrect
13:47:41XavierGris that intended?
13:48:03preglowJdGordon: eh, so we'll have two menu apis then? the new, and then the old which is just hacked to use the new?
13:48:11pondlifeAlso info, version, running time and the plugin browser should map PLAY to WPS.
13:48:18JdGordonplay in the menu/browser will take you back to the previous music screen (fm/wps/rec)

13:48:29ShaidI still can't get to svn either

13:48:58preglowJdGordon: quick fixes are ok as long as they don't stay in the code
13:49:05JdGordoni agree
13:49:27JdGordonthe problem is all the plugins using the menu code need to be rewriteen which will suck

13:50:42JdGordonalso so a build can be automated..

13:51:03XavierGrwhy?
13:51:04pondlifeJdGordon: how?
13:51:10XavierGreverywhere else it works
13:51:14JdGordonplay in the plugin browser does nothing
13:51:22LinusNwhy?
13:51:25pondlifeIt should do the same as in the menus
13:51:28JdGordonI copyied svn behaviour there... we can change it tho
13:51:39JdGordondid the last build come out green?
13:51:41LinusNwe should change it
13:51:48pondlifeAlso info, version, running time are the same.
13:52:01LinusNversion is a plugin
13:52:03JdGordonthey might be harder to change
13:52:08XavierGryeah JdGordon is right, it does that only in the plugin browser
13:52:11XavierGrplease fix it
13:52:16JdGordonbut anyway.. the code is in svn now.. not your selves out :)
13:52:18pondlifeOK, thought I'd mention it from a UI p-o-v.
13:52:22XavierGrbecause the plugin browser is just a shortcut of a folder

13:58:07pondlifeTrue
13:58:14XavierGrthe only point taken now is that STOP stops music now
13:58:16pondlifeOK, so left to exit with retain would be ok
13:58:21amiconnAnd cancel isn't really cancel, but revert
13:58:22XavierGr(that wasn't the case before the root menu)
13:58:22pondlifeSTOP must still stop music though

14:23:49LinusNpondlife: consistency would be that the playback buttons would only work in the playback screen
14:23:58XavierGrhehe poor pondlife, most poeple here dislike left = cancel

14:24:03pixelmahooray for UI discussions :P
14:24:07linuxstbI could live without a cancel button, but given the choice of LEFT/SELECT/RIGHT being mapped to cancel, I think LEFT makes most sense.
14:24:08XavierGrindeed
14:24:09pondlifeWell, I can always add an option!
14:24:10pondlife ;)
14:24:13BigBambiIf only we all had stop playback buttons :)
14:24:18XavierGrindeed was to pixelma
14:24:27XavierGr(not linuxstb :P)
14:25:24LinusNi seem to recall that the cancel setting feature was a Player issue in the beginning
14:25:25XavierGrthough it is true that I find pondlife's points I still can't really like it
14:25:45LinusNbecause the player has no arrow buttons
14:25:57LinusNand Stop is used to leave a menu
14:26:02XavierGrarchos players are the root of evil :P
14:26:07LinusNhehe
14:26:10pondlifelol
14:26:20BigBambiBut if they weren't, there might be no rockbox!
14:26:25pondlifeRight to select seems wronger than left to cancel if you ask me
14:26:25XavierGrexactly
14:26:32LinusNpondlife: absolutely
14:26:48LinusNpondlife: but most targets map Select to that function
14:26:55LinusN(as well as Right)
14:27:03pondlifeAh, on the H300 maybe it should be SELECT to select and RIGHT does nothinig?
14:27:09LinusNand Select makes perfect sense to me
14:27:32pondlifeSelect means "Do something useful with the highlighted option"

14:27:53pondlifeRight only makes sense if there is a sub menu.
14:27:55BigBambiMy reason for left accepting, is because I enter a screen with right, move to the setting I want, and back out again

14:28:32pondlifeBigBambi: I agree with you totally, but still want to avoid using STOP for cancel.
14:28:41pondlifeI just see STOP/PLAY on there own as music control.
14:28:45LinusNit's not about Left being "cancel", it's about forcing the user to confirm with either Select or Right

14:31:52LinusNwhat about letting the UI mark the current setting somehow, so you know what to set it to if you want to revert?
14:32:13XavierGrah that's a nice idea indeed
14:32:27BigBambiGood idea
14:32:28XavierGrthough I don't know how feasible it will be

14:37:09GodEaterdoesn't the menu just need to move the highlight over the currently selected option when you enter the setting in order to show you which is current ?

16:07:28XavierGrpretty funny and sad at the same time
16:08:05lostlogichard to believe that people can pass one of these so-called computer science courses and be unable to write the example program in the latter article
16:08:19webguest52GodEater: isn't it a major problem of RockBox? (That it supports only discontinued players?) RB will then die eventually
16:08:48webguest52We need fresh blood
16:08:49FebsPerhaps you haven't noticed our port to the ipod?
16:08:51lostlogicwebguest52: who says what about the players we support?
16:09:27webguest52lostlogic: yes, the current list is very impressive. But it's not alive
16:09:48preglowhaha
16:10:11preglowgiven the current market, it's hard to even finish a port before it's off the market again
16:10:21webguest52preglow: but true
16:10:39pondlifeRockbox will probably always be about 1 year behind "current". That works out pretty well.
16:10:47preglowindeed
16:10:49webguest52preglow: RB is hunting a very quickly moving target
16:10:57pondlifeSaves us porting to dead-end hardware
16:10:58preglowwe haven't had any problem attracting developers thus far
16:11:17preglowso i don't think this is a problem in any way
16:11:23pondlifeAnd we can reuse lots of our existing code (most times)
16:13:00preglowrockbox could go on for years even with not supporting any newer players than we do now
16:13:06webguest52pondlife: yes, but it becomes increasingly hard. It's hard to get all the specs etc.
16:13:10preglowwe even develop for archos stuff, ffs
16:13:48 Quit funky ("leaving")
16:13:50webguest52In a few years, it will be like developing software for MS DOS
16:14:19pregloweh?
16:14:22preglowhow come?
16:14:52preglowwhat do you envision to come in newer players that would make that comparison fair?
16:15:14amiconnWell, if all future hardware will be locked down like the nano g2 it will indeed be hard if not impossible
16:15:32pondlifeThere might end up being a Rockbox port to WinCE or something I suppose.
16:15:37webguest52The now discontinued players will die somewhen. And the new models are brought to the market at such a high speed that RB can't be well ported to them (to compete with the OF)
16:16:05markunwebguest52: if someone ports rockbox to any of the TMS320 targets we might get support for a lot more players
16:16:06pondlifewebguest52: Are you on the Zune Linux team?
16:16:14pondlife;)
16:16:40 Quit tri170391 (Remote closed the connection)
16:17:06preglowwebguest52: we don't need to compete with the of
16:17:17markunwebguest52: I think your reasoning was lot more true before the iriver h1xx port than it is now
16:17:57pondlifeC programmers who had not heard of strcpy here - http://davidavraamides.net/blog/2005/05/07/strcpy/
16:18:23lostlogicand the H1x0 port proved that rockbox can go from one "old" generation of players to the next pretty readily and I'm sure that will continue to be the case.
16:18:37lostlogicbesides, we have most of a port to the ipod 5.5G which is the _current_ generation.

16:20:31markunwebguest52: do you also have a solution?
16:21:43webguest52 No. If I had many daps and wouldn't fear to brick one, I'd probably try to port RB to a new platform. But I only own one (H120) and don't dare to do something with it. Even the RTC mod is not for me.

17:44:07linuxstbI'm using Debian (x86). I did a full install (i.e. configure; make ; make install) of wxGTK-2.8.0.
17:44:24linuxstbI'm pretty sure I passed "−−disable-shared" to configure.
17:44:32linuxstbAnd then just "make" in the rbutil directory.
17:45:18pondlifeNope, the problem is that the headings display icons
17:45:25pondlifeEven when you don't want to.
17:45:44Nico_Plinuxstb: basically i'm doing the same thing, just without the make install part
17:45:46pondlifei.e. Headings + no icons results in headings with icons

17:55:11griphiamAhh.
17:55:33linuxstbSome work has been done on it, but the ffmpeg project are working on a new AAC decoder, and the hope is that we can switch to using that at some point.

17:56:16griphiamCool! I'll check that out
17:56:56griphiamThanks!
17:57:04linuxstbgriphiam: ogg and mp3 are far more popular amongst Rockbox developers - none of us use AAC as their main format...
17:57:39griphiamI realize that... I just had most of my CD ripped in AAC before I switched over
17:58:54linuxstbNico_P: How can I check?

17:59:31griphiamThat's why I was inquiring... I wanted to know what the plan was for the codec..
17:59:59linuxstbNico_P: I have /lib/libc-2.3.6.so if that's the same thing...
18:00
18:00:10linuxstbAnd /lib/libc.so.6
18:00:47Nico_Pi don't have one with a version number

18:03:48linuxstbgriphiam: The main issue is that the ffmpeg AAC codec is using floating point. We need a fixed-point version for Rockbox. I don't think it's part of the mainline SVN yet either.
18:03:56griphiamhmmm
18:04:09griphiamHow optimized is the fixed point Ogg codec at this point?
18:04:14linuxstbIt was written by a student as part of the Google Summer Of Code last summer.
18:04:29preglowgriphiam: it's fairly well optimised
18:04:31preglowbut more can be done

18:09:49Nico_Pbut if i have to be capable of writing a vorbis decoder, i'm not sure i have the level :p
18:10:02barrywardell_Domonoky: works great now :)
18:10:03hcsto obtain such a level...
18:10:19linuxstbIt's OK, we have a vorbis decoder - a WMA decoder will be enough.
18:10:38markungriphiam: http://lists.mplayerhq.hu/pipermail/soc2006/
18:10:48barrywardell_Domonoky: one suggestion is that the H10 only appears as a drive if you put it into UMS mode. Maybe adding instructions to do that would be helpful
18:11:32webguest90could rockbox be changed so that the hold switch would turn off an ipod?
18:11:44hcssure
18:11:45Domonokyjeah, i plan on adding more instruction for the installing..

18:11:56webguest90is there a dev kit for windows around
18:12:40linuxstbwebguest90: Firstly you nead a Unix-like environment - either Cygwin or a virtual machine running Linux. There are lots of instructions on the website.

18:18:57pondlifeAnyone object to the File Browser having a heading of "Files" in the root directory rather than nothing?
18:19:00 Quit webguest90 ("CGI:IRC (EOF)")
18:19:10bluebrotherhmm. Shouldn't the database settings be in General Settings rather than below the File View in that? Sounds more logical to me ...
18:19:35markunbluebrother: after today I would say yes
18:20:43 Join courtc [0] (n=court@c-71-199-169-45.hsd1.ga.comcast.net)
18:20:51bluebrotherhmm. Do I need to reinitialize the Database? Update doesn't seem to work, and I guess my database is from before the latest changes to the db format
18:21:03pixelmapondlife: what would it look like when someone has a subfolder called "Files" (?)
18:21:37pondlifeSame as it would if they had a sub-subfolder called "Files"
18:21:51pondlifeHard to draw on IRC, but perfectly sensible
18:22:03bluebrotherwhy not call the root folder "Root Folder" in the title? Should also clarify all these "what is the root folder" questions (at least a bit ;-)
18:22:22pondlifeI'm taking the LANG string from the one used in the main menu
18:22:31markunbluebrother: sounds like a good plan to me :)
18:22:34pondlifei.e. I select Files and the next screen is headed Files
18:22:46pondlifeIf you have path displayed it'll be /
18:22:53bluebrothernot showing a title for / is quite inconsistent
18:22:59pondlifeIt annoys me
18:23:10bluebrotheryou have a path shown?
18:23:12markunpondlife: so it would use the name from the language file, right?
18:23:24pondlifeNo just current
18:23:24pondlifeYes
18:23:29pondlifeSo you could change that to Root Folder if you wanted
18:23:30DomonokyH10 bootloader install fix for rbutil is now in SVN ..
18:23:40bluebrotherI have nothing (but I display the current dir only, not the complete path)
18:23:52pondlifebluebrother: That's what I find annoying
18:24:04pondlifeGoing up and down it appears and disappears
18:24:41bluebrotherhmm. And left from the file tree doesn't go back to the RB menu anymore (with file tree set as startup screen) −− I thought it would go back in all cases?
18:25:09pondlifeNo, that was decided yesterday (although I'd prefer left -> main menu personally)
18:25:34*pondlife is not restarting any more old UI arguments
18:25:40bluebrotherah. For all views or only if the tree is set as startup screen?
18:25:41pondlife...just new ones ;)
18:25:51pondlifeNo idea.
18:26:11bluebrotherI like it that way it currently is, but I thought the decision was different.
18:26:16pondlifeIs there a startup screen setting yet?
18:26:26bluebrotheryes, it's hidden in the System settings
18:26:53pondlifeWow, that is well hidden
18:27:25bluebrotherI commented on the FS task once or twice that I don't think this is a good position. Seems nobody cared.
18:27:49bluebrother(I initially only found it by looking at the sources :o )
18:28:11pondlifeThe UI settings need putting together. File View/Display/System....
18:28:19bluebrotherwould make more sense in the Display or General Settings IMO
18:28:33pondlifeDisplay
18:28:57bluebrotherI think the File View entry is ok, just put the Database right below it
18:29:00pondlifeGeneral Settings should probably be moved up a level too (i.e. removed)
18:29:11pondlifeSo you can go Settings -> Display
18:29:18pixelmabluebrother: about left-to-root... the idea was that only the button that calls the menu will lead you to the root menu - from everywhere - so that you don't get the impression of an hierarchy which isn't there so easily
18:29:20bluebrothergood point
18:29:57pondlifeSo nobody objects to me committing this little heading consistency fix?
18:29:59bluebrotherpixelma: I absolutely agree about the "root" (it's not root, it's Rockbox ;-) menu not to imply a hierarchy that's not intended
18:30:14markunpondlife: go ahead
18:30:17pondlifeYep, that was what confused me
18:30:22bluebrotherwhich is also why I dislike the mentioning of that menu as "root menu". Like in the commit message :(
18:30:44pondlifeI'm careful to call it main menu now
18:30:45markunpondlife: wait, what are you going to commit?
18:31:06bluebrotherjust call it "Rockbox Menu" :)
18:31:38pondlifeIf the file browser heading is set to current level only, display "Files" for the root folder. (And yes, I mean root!)
18:31:47GodEaterhave I read somewhere on the wiki that our docs are supposed to be in British English ?
18:31:55bluebrotherGodEater: yes.
18:32:01pondlifemarkun: OK?
18:32:04pixelmatrue... "root menu" can be misleading und easily mistaken for "root directory"
18:32:08pondlifeYep
18:32:18GodEaterthen when do we supply builds for a "grayscale" target (4th gen ipod) rather than a "greyscale" one ?
18:32:23markunpondlife: files, or the entry from the language file?
18:32:24pondlifeAnd it's not already in the lang/voice files
18:32:31pondlifeYes, from the lang
18:32:37markunyes, sure
18:32:52bluebrotherwe have a "grayscale" target?
18:32:58GodEaterlook at the builds page
18:33:18 Nick HoffmannP is now known as HoffmannP|afk (n=chatzill@static-67-62-231-178.t1.cavtel.net)
18:33:34bluebrotherah. I guess that doesn't apply to the website ;-)
18:33:48GodEaterthat's nice and consistent ;)
18:34:08bluebrotherthe reason for british english is quite simple: Cassandra wrote the initial manual, and she used british. So we stuck to BE.
18:34:16GodEaterthat makes perfect sense
18:34:25bluebrotherbut that unsurprisingly doesn't imply the website
18:34:37pixelmaand not to the UI it seems, for example "initialize now"
18:35:04bluebrothermaybe we should have english-uk and english-us lang files ;-)
18:35:26pondlife"Background Colour" is in there!
18:35:50GodEaterand apparently we don't mention "grayscale" in the manual
18:36:00bluebrotherbut it's correct, the lang file should get adjusted to use at least one spelling consistently.
18:36:00Domonokymarkun: do you have windows ? can you try rbutil on gigabeat ? :-)
18:36:57markunDomonoky: no, don't have windows
18:37:30bluebrotherthe download for the greyscale 4G is even called gray :o
18:37:32GodEaterI have windows and a gigabeat - is there a prebuilt binary for rbutil I can try for you ?
18:37:57*Domonoky needs testers for rbutil with gigabeat and with iaudio
18:37:59pondlifeOK, one more. Anyone think that the Database first level heading should read "Database" instead of "Browse By..."
18:38:11pondlifeThis is a tagnavi.config thing
18:38:55Nico_PDomonoky: i'd be happy to test on gigabeat if i managed to compile :)
18:39:07Domonokyhehe, bad linux :-)
18:39:23GodEaterDomonoky: is there somewhere to get the windows binary from ?
18:39:26Nico_Pmaybe i'll boot windows to try
18:40:54bluebrotherpondlife: not sure ... at least it shows a heading
18:40:54Domonokythe wiki.. ( i am just uploading the fixed versio)
18:41:15pondlifeYep, I'll leave it.
18:41:18bluebrothermaybe "Database Browser"?
18:41:29bluebrotherbut I think the current title is ok.
18:41:34pondlifeI was thinking Database, just like in the main menu
18:41:40Nico_PDomonoky: is munmap_chunk() an rbutil function ? if so, where is it ?
18:42:33Domonokyits not an rbutil function, probably in wxWidgets
18:42:38pondlifeEverywhere else the heading displays the option you just selected.
18:42:48pondlifeWhich is nice.
18:45:59amiconnHmm, is there a description how to open a H1x0 somewhere?
18:46:13amiconnI know that for H300 there is
18:46:40bluebrotherpondlife: I like the new heading for the file view ... but wouldn't it be better to use something that makes it clear it's not a folder? Like "<Files>"?
18:46:56bluebrotheramiconn: rockbox-lounge.com had such a guide once.
18:47:54bluebrotherhttp://www.rockbox-lounge.com/downloads.php?view=detail&id=13
18:47:54pondlifebluebrother: But surely it's the same as if you're in a subdir. The heading is offset so it can't be a folder.
18:48:15pondlifeI thought the name of the thing you just went into was a good bet
18:48:38pondlifeMaybe the LANG file should say "File Browser" not "Files"?
18:48:39bluebrotherhow about using the name of the disk volume for display?
18:48:46bluebrotherok, maybe that's a bit too much ;-)
18:48:47DomonokyGodEater: the new Version of rbutil is now in the wiki
18:48:47pondlifebluebrother: I like that idea
18:48:49pondlife:)

18:50:51bluebrotherhmm, thinking about it: using the volume name might be indeed good −− afaik windows displays only that name

18:56:21Nico_PLinusN: maybe you know... how can i compile rbutil using /lib/libc.so.6 rather than /lib/tls/i686/cmov/libc.so.6 ?

18:56:40lowlightpondlife: yes
18:56:49Domonokyah, that could be it..
18:56:49GodEaterI'm guessing rbutil assumes a direct internet connection
18:57:09pixelmapondlife: could it be that showing the folder name as heading can be switched off - if so I didn't use it anyways...
18:57:24pondlifepixelma: Yes, that's the default
18:57:26Domonokycould be, it just uses download functions from wxWidgets .. i will checl
18:57:47bluebrothermaybe that should default to on (for the fancy gui users)?

19:29:22preglowthat would explain it

19:30:05preglowit has to be that
19:30:11preglowi wonder why the hell i didn't think of that myself
19:30:14preglowit's the only solution
19:30:59jhMikeSideally a mac instruction would have a mode override so you could use int mode to shift left on cf. not sure what the price of changin macsr in a loop is :)

19:36:51preglowfor arm, the carry bit is set if a one the last bit shifted out was set
19:37:05preglowbut that might easily be zero and still overflow
19:38:08preglowi guess the only real solution is creating coefficients with fewer int bits
19:38:53jhMikeSat least make sure that's it first...just saturate before the shift (who cares if it's slow) to check it. *shrugs*

20:01:34*petur agrees
20:02:33LloreanI thought we were going to take everything out of "General Settings" since you're already in the settings menu.
20:02:50LloreanOr some similar sort of reorganization
20:02:54|Rincewind|Llorean: I hope so

20:08:46perl|work2 had very audible glitches in the middle of them
20:09:08perl|worki did the rewind, couldnt reproduce them
20:09:48jhMikeSright: just wondering if you can narrow the date down that first has it. that helped a lot in getting to the crossfade one.
20:10:32jhMikeSso you mean it showed up only last night?
20:10:57perl|work1 Mar 00:26 Jens Arnold was the last change before i compiled
20:11:52perl|workwell its hard to say cause before your fix we had the crossfade trouble

20:16:58Lloreanbarrywardell_: Were you the one who did a bunch of work on unifying the bootloaders?
20:17:46pixelma? nice feature - guess that's because of the recently added "AlbumArtist" tag - but I just initialised database and at the step of commiting the files after reboot it says "committing 8/7"
20:18:39jhMikeSperl|work: what other sound features are on? eq (precut too?), dither, replay gain, etc? voice file or no? are the flacs 44.1 khz?
20:18:49 Quit tvelocity ("ΑποχώÏησε")
20:20:23perl|workjhMikeS, 44.1khz, everything you mentioned is off, except full EQ on including precut
20:25:25perl|workand crossfade of course but no issues during actual crossfading
20:25:47jhMikeSI think the eq filters have had some modification recently. The precut is the same function that handles replaygain but that is not altered.
20:32:20jhMikeSno channel mode or crossfeed either?
20:32:23Lloreanperl|work: Generally when you encounter what might be a bug, you reset the settings to default (or default + the one setting that appears to be going wrong if it's say, a crossfade issue) and see if it still happens like that so you can narrow it down.
20:32:34pixelmaSlasheri: around?
20:33:18perl|workLlorean that what i did with the crossfade issue and jhMikeS was quick to fix it
20:33:47Lloreanperl|work: But it sounds like you've got a whole host of settings changed for this issue.
20:33:57perl|workjhMikeS nope, those are off as well
20:34:58jhMikeSFor this, setting all the sound stuff to plain passthrough should be good. So try with/without eq, and with/without precut.

20:38:46perl|workmight take a while since it occurs rarely
20:38:56Lloreanbarrywardell_: I was just wondering, was there any plan to unify the way they work from a user perspective too?
20:39:09barrywardell_how do you mean?
20:39:30Lloreanbarrywardell_: There are some very significant differences here and there. The Gigabeat one, for example, has that image loading function, and doesn't see the rockbox binary if it's in .rockbox
20:39:34Lloreanbarrywardell_: Or didn't last time I checked
20:39:46Lloreanbarrywardell_: And I understood several others didn't see the rockbox binary in the .rockbox folder either.
20:40:16barrywardell_ah, yes. well the gigabeat one hasn't been unified yet because the unified gigabeat bootloader didn't work for the guy who tested it
20:40:17Lloreanbarrywardell_: As well, the ones we have in flash have USB modes, but on the other targets nothing is done about a USB connection at all, it's just ignored.
20:40:22amiconnAfaik all swcodec bootloaders do, and those are the only ones where it makes some sense
20:40:48barrywardell_all the ones that have been unified look for the rockbox binary in the same place, give the same error messages/codes
20:41:10Lloreanbarrywardell_: Okay, so it's just that gigabeat hasn't been unified.
20:41:13LloreanWhat about USB detection?
20:41:22linuxstbIt seems the "load_raw_firmware()" function (which is what the gigabeat uses, but shouldn't) doesn't check the .rockbox directory.
20:41:33barrywardell_yes. I can't really go further because I have no gigabeat to test with
20:41:35LloreanWith the iPods and such, a boot with a USB cable attached could boot into disk mode, rather than Rockbox and then reboot into disk mode.
20:41:44barrywardell_the gigabeat bootloader code is a bit of a mess atm too
20:42:31amiconnLlorean: Yes, but then the bootloader needs to be able to detect true usb vs. usb charger, and hence fiddle with the usb chip
20:42:44amiconnI don't know whether the apple fw will like that
20:42:58Lloreanamiconn: Ah, that makes sense.
20:43:05linuxstbLlorean: That should be preventable now we can rolo diskmode directly from flash.
20:43:14linuxstbi.e. skip the reboot step.
20:43:33amiconnCan we?
20:43:47amiconnDoesn't work here....
20:43:48Lloreanamiconn: And since our loader is on disk anyway, I assume there won't be a bootloader-USB mode on iPod even when we have USB.
20:43:55linuxstbI think so... SVN Rolo should be able to load the diskmode.ipod file.
20:43:59barrywardell_linuxstb: hmm. you're right there. the load_raw_firmware() takes a full file path
20:44:14linuxstb(dan_a committed COP support for rolo a few days ago).
20:44:21barrywardell_linuxstb: but the gigabeat bootloader doesn't use that function without my patch applied

20:45:52barrywardell_oh, I hadn't noticed that. someone must have committed a change since my version
20:46:03linuxstbYes, I think LinusN did a little work on it.
20:46:31LloreanAlright, and what about this Bootsplash functionality that the Gigabeat bootloader got saddled with?
20:46:38LloreanI admit it looks pretty in use.
20:46:55barrywardell_my reasoning was that load_raw_firmware would be used to load an OF which is in different places based on the target
20:46:56LloreanBut something about it feels wrong to me, so I'm kinda straddling the line regarding it, and wondering about where it's going.
20:47:05barrywardell_eg. /System on PP targets
20:47:41linuxstbPersonally, I think a blank screen in the bootloader is the way to go. Keeps things simple, and let the user customise rockbox itself.
20:48:16 Quit |Rincewind| (Read error: 110 (Connection timed out))
20:48:27Lloreanlinuxstb: Just splash an error message if there is one, otherwise show nothing?
20:49:42linuxstbYes. In practice, we'll keep writing the text, but only call lcd_update() if there's an error (or maybe let a user hold a key to show the text).
20:50:06barrywardell_I was thinking about that too. A splash is nice for user friendlyness. Show that first, then do as linuxstb says
20:50:21linuxstbI tried it on my ipod, and removing all those lcd_update() calls gives a noticable increase in boottime.
20:50:29Lloreanlinuxstb: I rather like that.
20:50:49barrywardell_the problem with working with the bootloader is that you have to own the targets and be able to unbrick them
20:50:51linuxstbLlorean: If you want to test, just comment out lcd_update() in the printf() function in bootloader/common.c
20:51:20LloreanThe bootsplash is pretty, but it seemed to me that customization should begin at the point where Rockbox itself actually booted, and that would also allow the use of an actual .bmp file anyway.
20:52:54 Quit Thundercloud_ (Read error: 110 (Connection timed out))
20:53:36barrywardell_I would be in favour of only doing a lcd_update if there's an error
20:53:58barrywardell_and what about only looking for the rockbox binary inside .rockbox?
20:54:24Lloreanbarrywardell_: It's supposed to look first in /.rockbox, then outside, with the plan eventually to have the builds start putting it in there.
20:54:43LloreanOnce there could be a reasonable assumption that users were using a new enough bootloader to have that feature.
20:55:19peturin the bootloader we could swap the dull ligh blue for some nice gradient... at almost no extra cost
20:55:34barrywardell_ah, ok. How long has that been in place? Can that assumption be made yet?
20:56:07Lloreanbarrywardell_: I believe it was when the H120 bootloader went to either v5 or v6, and it was said "We should wait a while to make sure people have upgraded"
20:56:26Lloreanv6
20:56:54LloreanSo, um, I think more than a year.
20:57:28LloreanBut the Archos builds still, by necessity, need to have the firmware image in the root, and the gigabeat build will apparently need so too at the moment.
20:57:39barrywardell_so the question is, how long is "a while"?
20:58:19barrywardell_and can we do it separately for different targets?

21:00:41LloreanSeeing as they've been able to do it since, I think, before there was an iPod port, if people were using the last bootloader released for 'em.
21:01:17pixelmaso would additional firmware files you can rolo in (to try out for example) still work when they are in the root directory then?
21:01:36Lloreanpixelma: RoLo shouldn't care where the files are, I believe.
21:01:44LloreanIt's just a case of where the bootloader itself looks while loading.

21:15:05LinusNi rarely use rolo myself
21:15:14LloreanWhy didn't we just move Browse Firmwares to the debug menu?
21:15:16pixelmaI used it a lot lately
21:15:37Lloreanamiconn: If the bootloader still looks in both places, you can just move your alternate firmwares, and the original .target file, to the root before booting the player that first time.
21:15:39linuxstbIt could actually become useful on ipods though if Rolo is ever 100% working - AppleOS, IPL, Rockbox...
21:15:51preglowif you're going to do a lot of roloing, just set file view to "all"
21:15:59amiconnI use rolo quite often, more convenient a reboot than shutdown + power on

21:34:12amiconnFlashing shouldn't be difficult, the question is whether it'd be wanted (unless we can handle all hardware)
21:34:14bluebrotherep0ch: he's in australia, so at night for us ;-)
21:34:29amiconnAnd it'd mean an ipod would no longer be unbrickable...
21:34:46preglowamiconn: at least the firmware is pretty easily disassembable
21:34:46linuxstbYes, we would definitely need to keep the feature hidden...
21:34:53preglowdisassemblable...

21:35:43linuxstbThe flashing process can keep the original Apple diskmode app in flash, which can be launched when needed.
21:36:08linuxstbBut I know we still have a lot to learn about the hardware...
21:36:08preglowindeed
21:36:22preglowat least for me, the prospect of flashing an ipod doesn't seem so impossible anymore

21:37:01preglowoh, indeed not
21:37:06linuxstbIndeed, that would be nice.
21:37:10*amiconn thinks he should add flash id detection for ipods
21:37:18preglowno more apple logo on boot

21:37:33linuxstbamiconn: I tried that over the weekend, but couldn't get it to work...
21:38:23linuxstbI even went as far as unmapping memory, putting flash back at 0x0, and the DRAM at 0x10000000, but it didn't like it. Hopefully I was just doing something stupid and it will work first time for you...
21:40:16 Quit decayedcell (Remote closed the connection)
21:41:19linuxstbep0ch: Regarding database in the root menu, I think it's good to have it there so new users know it exist. I also think it would be nice if it asks you if you want to initialise it when you first select it.
21:42:08Lloreanlinuxstb: I definitely think it should offer that, though I still feel that there should be some more clear sign that the database initialization is in-progress.
21:43:21LinusNabsolutely, the current silence is horrible
21:43:57LinusNsure, updating in the background is cool and all, but the user wants to know when it is done, and doesn't mind waiting
21:44:16LinusNuser friendliness should be a priority in this case
21:44:50LloreanEspecially since most of our users who use the DB at all, depend on it to even find their music so aren't likely to be doing much else while they wait, but wait.
21:45:07Slasherii hope there would be support for viewports/different windows
21:45:19Slasherithen there could be tagcache statusbar visible while it's building
21:45:25 Join linuxstb_ [0] (i=5343d4aa@rockbox/developer/linuxstb)
21:45:33LloreanI know we have that "DB Status" page in the debug area, could we show users that when they select the Database from the root menu, if it's in-progress?
21:45:36LinusNSlasheri: i don't think many users would care
21:45:38LloreanAnd maybe add a message to reboot when it's done?
21:46:16SlasheriLinusN: but that statusbar would be always top of all screens until scanning is finished
21:46:27Slasheriand user could continue using the player in meanwhile
21:46:46pixelmaspeaking of database... should I be able to "update now"?I think I heard that this is impossible when database is not in RAM - and afaik this is not possible on Archos or maybe I don't remember correctly...
21:47:02LloreanSlasheri: If that were the case, you could just replace the disk access icon with a % complete.
21:47:05LinusNSlasheri: that's what i mean - i don't think many users care about being able to use it while building the database
21:47:11LloreanSince the disk access icon isn't much use while building anyway.
21:47:13linuxstb_Why not display a "database progress" screen (similar to the debug screen I guess) when the user selects Database when the database initialisation is in progress?
21:47:28Slasheripixelma: you can "update now", it should always work if database has been initialized
21:47:39Lloreanlinuxstb_: I suggested that a few lines up. ;)
21:47:40SlasheriLinusN: ah, hmm
21:47:54linuxstb_Llorean: Great idea :)
21:48:05pixelmayeah - but then I have a bug for you...
21:48:06Slasherilinuxstb_: that would be a good solution..
21:48:12LloreanI think it'd get the job done, plus a user can leave it if they want to use their player.
21:48:30Slasherisomebody just needs to have some time to implement it
21:48:35LinusNthe status bar can be turned off though
21:48:40amiconnThis MK8007GAH spins up quite fast :)
21:48:51peturit does?
21:48:54Slasheripixelma: what is the problem with it?
21:48:56amiconnyes
21:49:07linuxstb_Maybe we need some kind of page for "officially approved features" - i.e. things we all want, but no-one has time to do...
21:49:09LloreanLinusN: My favorite is still just having a status screen from the Database root menu entry, while in-progress.
21:49:10peturamiconn: making a h180?
21:49:20amiconnI now have one :D
21:49:25Lloreanlinuxstb_: I think that is a VERY good idea.
21:49:36pixelmaSlasheri: I initialised database, then I removed the MMC, then hit "update now" - this process hangs
21:49:41peturI'm still waiting for my MK8007GAH to arrive
21:49:56Llorean"Developer Feature Requests" as it were.
21:49:59pixelmaSlasheri: "progress" stayed at -1
21:50:04pixelma%
21:50:06SlasheriLlorean: hmm, indeed! the current statusbar could show the percents!
21:50:11ep0chlinuxstb_: but if someone doesn't use database at all then having database in the root menu aint so good
21:50:25Slasheripixelma: is database initialized, so are you able to use it?
21:50:40amiconnThe MK8007GAH spins up almost half a second faster than the MK4004GAH
21:50:44ep0chlinuxstb_: or is there a way to configure the root menu via the settings?
21:50:47Lloreanep0ch: It may not be "so good" but is it actually bad?
21:50:52amiconn(at least my unit does)
21:50:55LinusNLlorean: perhaps, but i still think the user (and ultimately we who answer dumb questions in the forums/irc) would be better off with a simple, modal progress screen
21:51:05Slasheriep0ch: and if someone uses just the database, then having "files" in the root menu isn't good either? =)
21:51:12LloreanLinusN: How do you mean?
21:51:17ep0chall true
21:51:27amiconn(and my H1x0 is quiet again, yay) :)
21:51:30pixelmaSlasheri: yes - and also while committing at reboot the splash showed "committing 8/7" if I saw it right
21:51:34ep0chso i'll will make my own patch then :p
21:51:54Slasheribtw, i was thinking to implement "Delete" in the context menu for database mode also
21:52:09LinusNyou select "initialize", and the player will be "locked" with a progress bar until it finishes
21:52:19Slasherithen selecting some entry, for example a "worst tracks" query, would delete all those files
21:52:33ep0chi'd also still love to see a clear playlist option in the playlist menu :)
21:52:39LloreanLinusN: I'd rather it take them into the progress screen, but allow them the option to leave it if they want.
21:52:42Slasheripixelma: will be fixed
21:53:01LloreanLinusN: I'm all for showing them the screen by default, but since it's updating in the background as is, you might as well let them leave it, if they feel the need to.
21:53:15pixelmaSlasheri: which one? ;)
21:53:20SlasheriLinusN: in statusbar, it could just show a database icon above the disk icon and percents next to it
21:53:29Slasheripixelma: that 8/7
21:53:37amiconnLinusN: You wanted to be reminded of the current vs. backlight brightness measurements on H300...
21:53:40LinusNSlasheri: you mean the statusbar that the theme can hide?
21:53:47SlasheriLinusN: yes
21:53:54pixelmaalright... any ideas about the other problem?
21:53:59amiconnOh, and while at it, petur wanted something traced on H300....
21:54:00LinusNSlasheri: get my point?
21:54:03SlasheriLinusN: i was thinking a different statusbar, but the current one shohuld do it too
21:54:11Slasheriyep, i got that
21:54:29LinusNwhy is it so important to be able to use the player while initializing the database?
21:54:37petur:D
21:54:39*amiconn wouldn't like the database init to lock the whole unit
21:54:44Slasherisome users might prefer it
21:54:49LinusNit only gives us support trouble
21:54:57amiconnLinusN: Because it can take quite a while?
21:55:00LinusNso?
21:55:01 Quit linuxstb_ ("CGI:IRC (EOF)")
21:55:01SlasheriLinusN: or there must be some other way to put the initialization process in background

21:55:23LinusNpixelma: "keep out" ?
21:55:25LloreanLinusN: I initialize it so that I can have some custom searches, but I almost never use it, and occasionally find myself needing to reinitialize it (managed to delete the .rockbox folder, or intentionally did so) . It'd be nice not to have to sit and wait when that happens.
21:55:26SlasheriLinusN: it could be default on fg but pressing some buttons would bring it bg
21:55:30amiconnOne can continue listening to music (file browser mode) meanwhile, or playing a game plugin etc
21:55:54LloreanLinusN: I just don't see why it's essential to force them to stay on the screen either, as compared to forcing them into the screen, but allowing them the option to leave it.
21:55:56LinusNamiconn: i know that, but is it *important*?
21:56:01pixelmaLinusN: maybe that's superfluous then, actually I don't mind
21:56:11amiconnLinusN: Yes. Did you ever try database on archos?
21:56:35 Join Thundercloud_ [0] (n=thunderc@82.153.39.0)
21:56:36LinusNLlorean: maybe i'm misunderstanding things, but don't many users have problems with rebooting the player too early?
21:56:36Slasheriand user can turn off the player while database building is not completed
21:56:55amiconnI think it would work quite nicely when entering the database view while the database isn't ready yet would show the progress screen
21:57:14LloreanLinusN: The most common two problems I've seen is either 1) Assuming it's done instantly and not realizing it's in the background, or 2) Never realizing they needed to reboot at all.
21:57:31LinusNwhy is (2) important anyway?
21:57:40SlasheriLlorean: reboot is not always necessary
21:57:47LinusNis it a buffer_alloc() issue?
21:57:57SlasheriLlorean: that depends if dircache is active and how much space needs to be allocated
21:57:58LloreanSlasheri: It seems to fix things in the majority of cases where the database isn't ready after an init, though.
21:58:30SlasheriLinusN: yes
21:59:10amiconnThe database view could also ask to init and/or reboot as necessary
21:59:12LinusNi can go with having a progress screen when you select "Database"
21:59:15Slashericurrently database is only allowed to steal dircache or tagcache ram buffers
21:59:46amiconnI.e. when you eneter database and it's not initislised, it could ask "Initialise now?", and then show the progress screen
21:59:51LloreanLinusN: I do agree though that when they choose to initialize, the next screen they see should be the progress screen. They should have to consciously leave it if they want updating in the background.
21:59:58amiconn...still allowing to exit to the main menu and use other things

22:01:58Slasheripixelma: performance is already optimized quite high
22:02:13linuxstb_amiconn: That's exactly the solution I was thinking of as well.
22:02:50xuHi. I like the new root menu. But would it be possible to make the order of entries configurable? For example, I never use the database but use FM radio quite often (I have H120). So I would like to have FM right after Files.
22:03:16xuWe could have a file rb_root_menu in .rockbox and place text entries there.
22:03:44xuIf this file is not present, the menu will be created in its "default" order
22:03:50pixelmaSlasheri: as you can imagine I don't speak of performance here ;)
22:04:22xuI understand that this is just a part of more general concept of configurable menus but the root menu is so important that...
22:04:28LinusNxu: it is not trivial to do, but we have discussed it
22:04:55amiconnConfigurable menus are a big problem wrt localisation
22:05:22LinusNamiconn: yes
22:05:25amiconnSame problem exists in the database view
22:05:26*Llorean thinks his H120's disk is near death.
22:05:28xuI've looked at the code. The callbacks are passed as va_args. Couldn't the y be passed as an array? Then we could fill the array in the right order. And even hide some entries (e.g. database for me)
22:05:47*alienbiker99 needs a new H320 battery
22:06:14xuamiconn: I think just be able to configure the order of entries in the root menu would suffice
22:06:47LloreanIsn't the FM radio option already less pressed from 'start position' than it used to be, anyway?
22:06:58xuSince it's used a lot. And if it's as I (or you) like it, that would take away much pain
22:07:48 Part Margot_
22:07:57xuThe recent commit by Marcoen Hirschberg shows that there are different views on this
22:07:59Slasheripixelma: and you have a player with 32MB of ram (or more)? with size optimizations, you wouldn't gain anything. But for archoses those would be useful but needs big programming time efforts
22:08:02LloreanI'm just worried about the potential for havoc a customizable root menu would cause.
22:08:13 Quit lee-qid ("aufwiederbyebientotsayonara")
22:08:18LloreanPeople would be breaking their root menu by typos in the file all the time, I suspect.
22:08:30xuLlorean: yes, it's much better now. But while we're at it we could make it not just better but very much better
22:09:01 Join lee-qid [0] (n=liqid@p54966281.dip.t-dialin.net)
22:09:19Lloreanxu: The primary purpose of a DAP is playing stored audio files, which I think is why it makes sense for the first two entries to relate to that.
22:09:20XavierGrLlorean what's up with your H120?
22:09:27xuLlorean: if any error is detected in the file (unknown entries, typos, etc) the menu would take the default form
22:09:35LloreanCustomizability may be up in the air, but I don't think FM should move in the hard-coded version.
22:09:48amiconnSlasheri: Size optimisations are always useful imho. Just thinking about how to optimise often shows clever solutions which are both smaller and faster, at least that's my impression
22:09:54LloreanXavierGr: The disk is making a loud whining noise.
22:09:59pixelmaSlasheri: I think you would gain there too - and if it just makes further coding easier in the end (which I would expect to happen - as a non-coder though)
22:10:18amiconnYou're right that the benefit is larger for small-ram targets, but then the archoses are not the only ones
22:10:20XavierGrLlorean: Then your H120 is fine, the 20 GB disk is near its end! :P
22:10:39LloreanLlorean: That's why I said I think my H120's disk is near death. :-P
22:10:40xuLlorean: Amen to files. No amen to DB. A dap is for listening. According to this logic, FM could be the second entry.
22:10:40XavierGrif it dies change your Disk and there you have a new H120 :D
22:10:49XavierGroops
22:10:50*amiconn thinks about the iFP here, which has to squeeze more functions in less ram than the archos
22:10:53LloreanXavierGr: :)
22:11:01*XavierGr hides in shame
22:11:11linuxstb_amiconn: Although the ifp is flash, so buffering audio is less important.
22:11:16alienbiker99does the root menu settings have an option to change the order around?
22:11:19Slasheriamiconn: true, but i still think performance should be the primary goal
22:11:30amiconnlinuxstb: Yes, but all necessary stuff has to fit....
22:11:32Lloreanxu: How is DB not an access scheme for music files on the disk?
22:11:42xuLlorean: since there is already an entry for playing files (Files). And the second entry to do the same (DB) could be moved down. Just my view.
22:11:48Slasheriif performance would be secondary, it would be possible to shave huge amounts off the code and causing db to be very sluggish, almost unuseable
22:12:03Lloreanxu: Then move Files down, and leave DB there. Population-wise, our users prefer DB.
22:12:25LloreanI don't use it, but if you're going to favour one, you should do it based on population use.
22:12:38amiconn1MB for rockbox core + codec + plugin + buffer *is* tight....
22:12:41xuLlorean: it depends very much on the concrete user.
22:13:19Slasheriamiconn: but there is no need for buffer with flash devices (except some small pcm buffer)
22:13:21xuLlorean: and if wouldn't be much pain to implement why not please everyone?
22:13:35Lloreanxu: It's already been said that it would be both a pain to implement, and probably support.
22:13:55Slasheriamiconn: of course that would prevent using some features like crossfade
22:13:59amiconnSlasheri: There is a need for at least a small buffer if we don't want to change the whole playback concept. Of course this buffer can be quite small
22:14:09Slasheriyes
22:14:17Lloreanxu: Plus, I suspect that if you make the root menu configurable, it'll just inspire people to demand the other menus be so as well.
22:14:19amiconn...and the buffer is also used by some plugins
22:14:48amiconnThat's a reason why the buffer shouldn't be too small even on Ondio.
22:15:05amiconnBattery wise it doesn't make a measurable difference
22:15:09xuLlorean: yes, I see that. But IMHO the root menu is a special case. It's used much more often than the other menues
22:15:36*amiconn hopes to be forced to use the root menu as little as possible
22:15:48pixelmain my imagination optimised, smaller code (not shaving off something) would increase performance too - but maybe that's fiction
22:16:15xuLlorean: it's the main switching point and should therefore be made as to please everyone as much as possible. Every single one and not just the majority (what is that?)
22:16:53Lloreanxu: Well, you are free to submit a patch for customizing it.
22:17:11alienbiker99i agree with xu, it would become the most used menu, so why not have it customizable to be the most productive menu
22:17:18Lloreanxu: But I think it's really unnecessary complexity, and I think that it will encourage people to want the whole menu structure customizable, giving them the excuse to bring that issue back.
22:17:28xuamiconn: me too. But if I want to switch from file playback to FM...
22:18:05*amiconn didn't upgrade to a root menu enabled build yet
22:18:06Lloreanxu: You click on an FM Preset file...
22:18:11pixelmaspeaking of the root menu... now that I tried SVN... not being able to go left-to-main-menu feels a bit strange, too - because you can get back from every other screen (settings etc.) - only not from filebrowser or database view
22:18:30LinusNpixelma: i agree
22:18:41*Llorean cheers!
22:18:42xuLlorean: I could try. But I think the current way the menu is defined (macro + va_arg) does it really hard

22:19:07Lloreanxu: Then make the other change you suggested. I thought you were the one who thought it wasn't too much trouble to go through...
22:19:24Lloreanxu: But as I said, if you want a shortcut to the FM Radio, you can put an FM Preset file anywhere in your filetree and click it.
22:19:26xuLlorean: my file browser shows only music files. As you said, a dap is there for listening. To music. Or to FM (in my case)
22:19:35Lloreanxu: Change it to "Supported" then.
22:19:47LinusNxu: file playback to fm: click Menu and then select FM from the main menu how hard can it be?
22:20:00LloreanLinusN: It's apparently one too many options from the top.
22:20:11LinusNincredibla
22:20:21xuLinusN: more clicks than possible / necessary
22:21:00preglowthere'll always be more clicks than necessary
22:21:09preglowif we were to code every possible shortcut, rockbox would be a mess
22:21:13xuPlease don't get me wrong. I like the new menu and consider it a great step forward in RB usability. But...
22:21:15LloreanThe "necessary" number of clicks can always be reduced to "1"
22:21:23LinusNi'm sure it's one or two clicks away from being optimal - but is it worth cluttering the code (and the support channel) only to save a few clicks?
22:21:32xupreglow: I don't want a new shortcut
22:21:46Lloreanxu: Try the FM Preset method, like I suggested then.
22:21:47preglowxu: well, being able to reorganise the menu is in essence a shortcut, if you ask me
22:21:49XavierGrxu: why don't you do what Llorean says and place an fmr file in your root folder?
22:22:13XavierGrfmr files were made for radio shortcut reasons too
22:22:26Lloreanxu: Then you can set up your player so that you need 0 button presses from power up to Filetree, and Two (Up, plus click) for FM Radio
22:22:30xuLlorean: then I'd always to browse to the root (or to the folder where fmr files are placed)
22:22:59XavierGrbut the file menu is already on top :P
22:23:13XavierGrbrowsing to the root is swift
22:23:15LloreanXavierGr: It's still more button presses than having FM Radio second in the file menu.
22:23:29xuXavierGr: but the FM is not the next to top
22:23:39pixelmaxu: but that became easier - when you use filebrowser, just hold left and you'll be back at the root directory
22:23:59LinusNpixelma: still more than 1 click
22:24:05XavierGrgeesh!
22:24:14xupixelma: yes, but why do I have to lose my file browsing context to switch to the radio?
22:24:14XavierGrthat is more finicky than I am
22:24:15LloreanLinusN: Would it be possible to have "Hold Left" take you to Root of filemenu, and then a left-press from there take you back to the Menu, so it lands between the two extremes?
22:24:32LinusNthat's how it worked a few days ago
22:24:33Lloreanxu: Then make a patch. As I said, you're welcome to submit it.

22:24:53pixelmahehe... you can have it with one click when the playlist is empty...
22:24:57LloreanLinusN: I only tried the version of the patch, and now SVN, where you have to use Menu to leave the file browser.
22:25:18XavierGrLinus: pondlife will be happy that you changed your mind on left-on-root to root menu
22:25:20LinusNmaybe we should reintroduce the left-to-menu feature
22:25:21xuLlorean: yes, that's the way. Sorry if I've brought up a discussed issue. I have not read throughthe recent IRC logs.
22:25:41LinusNxu: that was discussed months ago
22:25:56Lloreanxu: Customizable menus seem as if they'd be much more hassle, both in code and support, than they're worth.
22:25:58pixelmaxu: ...set "FM Radio" as start screen and when you press "resume" it'll start the radio when there's nothing in the playlist
22:26:07LinusNmy general view of configurable ui is: avoid it
22:26:24LinusNpixelma: not if you go from file playback to fm
22:26:26LloreanLinusN: I definitely think it feels contrasting that you can Left-To-Menu from settings, but not Filetree, for example.
22:26:42LinusNLlorean: i understand
22:26:49pixelmaLinusN: yes - just discovered that yesterday
22:27:03linuxstb_That's what
