#rockbox log for 2007-03-02

00:00:11roolkusaratoga: I took Basic at Uni - there was no C course at the time - don't generalise from your own experience
00:00:56preglowthe soldering -> c experionce crossover is a bit... optimistic too
00:01:10LinusNwe have supplied 8mb builds for years, and now we are debating a build that has 10 times more users
00:01:23|Rincewind|you don't to know c to compile, just the ability to follow a guide and search the whole rockbox wiki for the bits of information you need
00:01:28preglowLinusN: i don't really think it's a debate, i'd just go ahead and add the build
00:01:34pixelmano - I'm fine with the extra daily
00:01:42 Quit kaaloo ("Leaving.")
00:02:37amiconnLinusN: That supplying of 8MB builds is one thing I wonder about
00:03:07LloreanI just like the idea of "hardware mod" builds being in the daily, and maybe even compiled for the build table, but not in the download table on builds.rockbox.org, as I think they'll confuse a lot of users, especially if we get more in the future.
00:03:14amiconnI think the question here is whether we want to support all mods or no mods in th eofficial builds
00:03:20preglowamiconn: i think we could supply it, but i'd like to remove it from the current build table
00:03:30preglowlet's not make it an "all or nothing" question
00:03:40amiconnBut only supporting some of them sounds like an unfair thing
00:03:48roolkupreglow: but then nobody will know if it is broken?
00:03:55Lloreanpreglow: It might be nice to keep it in the actual error/warning table, but remove it from the download portion of that page, so that only archived dailies of it are downloadable, for neatness in that aspect?
00:03:59preglowroolku: well, yes, the daily build will be broken...
00:04:16 Join FordGT [0] (i=4a470f22@gateway/web/cgi-irc/labb.contactor.se/x-3e713c9d7208a64a)
00:04:16amiconnAnd including mods in the svn builds causes longer build cycles
00:04:16preglowLlorean: then what's the point?
00:04:28roolkupreglow: but not visible in the table and hard to track back to the commit that caused it
00:04:28preglowLlorean: if it's actually compiled, let's let people download it
00:04:42preglowroolku: i think breaking an alarm_rtc target will be easy to track down, though
00:04:42Lloreanpreglow: My concern is end-user confusion. People who've done a hardware mod know to look for it. People who don't know it exists don't necessarily realize there are two builds for their target.
00:04:46scorchewe could implement a separate build table for all the mods underneath the extras in downloads, or even create a new entry
00:04:53LinusNhow many mods are we talking about?
00:05:05LloreanLinusN: I think the assumption is that we don't know how many there will be in the future.
00:05:09LloreanWe have 3 right now, right?
00:05:11amiconnroolku: Any mod could break in theory. Does that mean we should provide builds for all mods, even in combination?
00:05:33Nico_Pwhy not add runtime detection in the plugins and when they are run on a H120 that doesn't have the mod they would fail gracefully and siaply a message like "sorry, but this only works on modded devices"
00:05:51pixelmaI think it's 4 mods (at least)
00:05:59Nico_Ps/siaply/display
00:05:59LinusNNico_P: they would clutter the plugin browser
00:06:18Nico_Phow many plugins are we talking about ? one, two ?
00:06:19 Join JdGordon [0] (n=jonno@rockbox/developer/JdGordon)
00:06:30LinusNsomething like that
00:06:33roolkuNico_P: yes and add an advert for the clock chip manufacturer. :)
00:06:35pixelmaNico_P: would you want to see a plugin that never works - even if it fails "gracefully"?
00:06:41 Join SirFunk [0] (n=Sir@cpe-74-71-205-222.twcny.res.rr.com)
00:06:49*amiconn knows about at least 6 mods or "behaviour variations" against svn
00:06:57n1sJdGordon: we want the left from browser -> root menu back!
00:07:02amiconnSome of them apply to multiple targets
00:07:08n1s:-P
00:07:10amiconn...and some of them can be mixed...
00:07:18Nico_Ppixelma: i would probably just delete them
00:07:29roolkupixelma: there are loads of plugins I never user one more or less doesn't matter to me
00:07:30 Join Kevinaswell [0] (i=4ba1a0bc@gateway/web/cgi-irc/labb.contactor.se/x-e939887e0abdbeac)
00:07:36Nico_Psame here
00:07:39pixelmayou'd have to do that everytime you update
00:07:39Kevinaswellso now that I got rockbox finally running, i have another question XD
00:07:39*|Rincewind| cries the same as n1s
00:07:43 Quit lee-qid ("aufwiederbyebientotsayonara")
00:07:57Kevinaswellhow do i get my computer to recognize it again?
00:08:08Kevinaswelli tried to plug it in to add themes, but nothing happened at all.
00:08:35roolkupixelma: write a script :)
00:08:37LloreanKevinaswell: Shut it down, and then turn on the hold switch immediately after turning it on.
00:08:44Lloreanroolku: And you want all of our users to write a script?
00:08:49JdGordonn1s: im with you there...
00:08:55LloreanJdGordon: Everyone is.
00:08:59KevinaswellLlorean: shut it down while it's unplugged or plugged?
00:09:05Nico_Pwtf i hadn't seem that left in browser root didn't go to rockbox menu anymore... why ??
00:09:07LloreanKevinaswell: Unplugged.
00:09:13pixelmaJdGordon: yes we changed our minds...
00:09:13LloreanKevinaswell: Don't plug it in until you're in the Apple OS.
00:09:16roolkuno, i think most users won't bother with having another (for them) useless file there
00:09:20JdGordonpixelma: haha really?
00:09:24LloreanJdGordon: Yes.
00:09:27LinusNJdGordon: really
00:09:29LloreanNico_P: Don't worry, it should be fixed.
00:09:31*JdGordon can access svn.rocbkox.org again :D
00:09:40Kevinaswellokay. thanks.
00:09:41JdGordonok, ill put it back in today
00:09:46|Rincewind|JdGordon: something is very strange about the root menu and my patch. If I call playlist_viewer() from my patch and then exit it, it wants to enter the database
00:09:46preglowJdGordon: with the amount of people changing their minds here: good for you :)
00:09:47Lloreanroolku: I think users will try it, and complain that it doesn't work. Many users.
00:09:55roolkus/bother with/mind/
00:10:00amiconn(1) 8MB mod: possible for all sh based archoses - 6 targets. (2) RTC alarm mod for recorder v1. (3) Backlight for Ondio FM and SP. (4) disk poweroff for archos player (it's a hardware revision thing whether this works properly). (5) autorock, for all targets. (6) RTC for H1x0 - 2 targets.
00:10:01Nico_PI was afraid it was because there had been too much complaining from nostalgics of the old interface
00:10:06|Rincewind|JdGordon: the same happens with rockbox_browse()
00:10:08LloreanKevinaswell: You'll have to use Menu+Select to reboot out of Apple OS to get back to Rockbox, after you're done.
00:10:22roolkuLlorean: how many users have complained yet?
00:10:49KevinaswellLlorean: thanks. how does the file tree work for rockbox? do i have to re add all my music to my ipod?
00:10:53roolkuLlorean: vs. one user who said he will now do the RTC mod because it is included in the SVN
00:10:54amiconnCombinable: 1, 2, 5 / 1, 3, 5 / 1, 4, 5 / 5, 6
00:11:01LloreanKevinaswell: No, investigate the "Database" in the manual.
00:11:05amiconnNow how many extra builds does that yield?
00:11:19KevinaswellLlorean: thanks, mate. sorry if this is annoying.
00:11:25Lloreanroolku: Yes, but we're talking about a single day here, many of our users don't update but maybe monthly anyway.
00:12:04preglowbut please let's not debate whether we should include non-working plugins or not
00:12:07barrywardell_amiconn: while you mention it, did you ever figure out if the disk poweroff problem was the same as I was having with the H10?
00:12:09preglowbecause we really shouldn't
00:12:17|Rincewind|roolku: I wouldn't want to have plugins that don't work
00:12:17LloreanLinusN: We could leave the HAVE_RTC (or whatever the define is) plugins out of the H120 build no matter what, maybe?
00:12:25roolkupersonally I'd rather have something extra instead of something missing
00:12:28Lloreanpreglow: Roolku is trying to debate it.
00:12:44Lloreanroolku: You'd rather have extra broken things, than no broken things at all?
00:12:46amiconnbarrywardell_: I can't; it is LinusN's player which does have the problem.
00:13:13barrywardell_ah, so did he ever check that?
00:13:20roolkuif the broken thing (i.e. not existing thing in my mind) implies an extra thing in certain cases - yes
00:13:23amiconnHe did some investigation, it seems to be a different problem, but it's mysterious
00:13:26LinusNbarrywardell_: my player is sick atm
00:13:56roolkuI can only say my opinion
00:13:58preglowit's really simple for me
00:14:09preglowi don't want to waste time answering users why their plugins don't work
00:14:10preglowit wastes my time
00:14:22preglowlike i do with repeating thingsg
00:14:33Lloreanroolku: How are plugins that don't work how they should "extra" in any sense but "extra buggy"?
00:14:37roolkuanyway - I would appreciate if the code was compiled and available for users who can't compile it themselves
00:14:50amiconnLinusN: Battery contacts? Or still the batteries?
00:15:00LinusNboth, i guess
00:15:06JdGordonlame... nothing in either ml or the forums about the new menu :p
00:15:18 Quit Febs (Read error: 110 (Connection timed out))
00:15:27LloreanJdGordon: People outside this channel just don't update that much
00:15:28preglowno one seems opposed to a daily build of the rtc mod
00:15:32amiconnIt seems I have no luck with those high-capacity NiMHs. This new generation of low-self-discharge NiMHs might work better
00:15:45roolkuLlorean: I don't fancy a polemic debate - you can twist words as much as you like. In the specific case here I have voices my opinion. I can accept that other people have a different one so please do the same
00:16:08amiconnMy archoses do work, but if I don't use them for a few days, batteries are empty...
00:16:27preglowamiconn: i've got a couple of nimh devices that are the same
00:16:39preglowmost noticably a camera
00:16:46Lloreanroolku: I just don't understand yours at all. You're advocating including extra things that don't work as if it were good. Why then shouldn't we compile all plugins for all targets?
00:16:47saratogadoes anyone have any idea why I can't get ipodpatcher to properly patch a 3G without screwing up the bootloader?
00:16:49roolkupreglow: any advice on how I go about it
00:16:52saratogaI assume its still supported?
00:17:04amiconnI already have one set of these new-generation NiMHs (not in an archos) which works very well, so probably I should get a few more
00:17:10preglowroolku: i dunno, linus has said he thinks it's ok, so just assumed he's on it in some way
00:17:14Lloreansaratoga: Use the older IpodInstallation wiki page for now.
00:17:19preglowroolku: few of us others have access to the build servers
00:17:28barrywardell_LinusN: :( If you ever get it working, it was just matter of waiting 1 tick after turing disk power on to allow the voltage to stabalize
00:17:40LinusNbarrywardell_: i understand
00:18:00preglowroolku: bagder is also a nice chap to bother about build server stuff
00:18:05LinusNpreglow, roolku: it's a matter of adding the RTC build as a target in tools/configure
00:18:06amiconnbarrywardell_, LinusN: That reminds me - the weird behaviour in the ata driver is still there
00:18:41amiconnAt initial poweron, the ata driver waits one full second for the voltage to stabilise, but at normal spinups it doesn't wait at all...
00:18:41roolkuLlorean: no, but I think it is a negible price to pay for something that is of use for some people
00:18:46pixelmaroolku: I take it to the extreme... should all of the other users have backlight settings on their non-modded Ondios?
00:18:52|Rincewind|JdGordon: have you done something important to the main loop in gwps.c when you wrote the root menu?
00:19:08Lloreanroolku: That's because it's a price you don't have to pay, but I personally will probably have to pay on a daily basis as people begin upgrading their builds.
00:19:23JdGordonnothing really major... but possibly adding the returns where I did could afect it
00:19:27markunalienbiker99: what are the flaws in the new main menu?
00:19:28Lloreanroolku: It's also a 'price' that makes Rockbox look vastly less professional because it packages non-working programs.
00:19:29JdGordonsomthing broke?
00:19:33roolkupixelma: sorry I don't understand your analogy
00:19:38 Join fasmaie [0] (n=yohann@c-71-233-79-102.hsd1.ma.comcast.net)
00:19:52preglowroolku: problem is that a negligible price like that soon grows big if we continue with that practice
00:20:02preglowso i say let's not start it in the first place
00:20:04|Rincewind|my patch broke, leaving functions like playlist_viewer() or rockbox_browse() now want to enter database
00:20:05roolkuLlorean: read again: "I think"
00:20:29Lloreanroolku: Yes, but I feel particularly slighted by the fact that you're perfectly willing to pay for it with my time.
00:20:37|Rincewind|even when database is not ready/in use
00:20:54roolkuLlorean: and "Llorean: I don't fancy a polemic debate - you can twist words as much as you like. In the specific case here I have voices my opinion. I can accept that other people have a different one so please do the same"
00:21:04JdGordon|Rincewind|: which patch?
00:21:04preglowhe's not exactly twisting words now
00:21:11barrywardell_amiconn: I think it's only a fringe case in practise. Only happens if ide power is off already
00:21:17|Rincewind|record button config
00:21:26LinusNi think the biggest problem with always having RTC enabled is the added, nonworking plugins. And the reason that it will be a problem is that users who don't know about the RTC mod *will* ask about the nonworking plugins in the forums, mailing list and IRC.
00:21:31amiconnbarrywardell_: Yes, that too.
00:21:32barrywardell_amiconn: but I think it should be removed
00:21:38|Rincewind|JdGordon: #5555
00:21:40preglowLinusN: amen
00:21:46*preglow goes back to code
00:22:05roolkuLlorean: I and I feel particularly slighted by the fact that you're willing to waste others people time
00:22:07amiconnbarrywardell_: Maybe it's a good idea to always wait a little bit for the voltage to stabilise
00:22:20amiconnJust one tick, as required on H10
00:22:24preglowroolku: they are themselves choosing to do so, that's the difference
00:22:26Lloreanroolku: You suggested doing so before I began to do so, so I feel vindicated by it being your idea, if you want to put it that way.
00:22:34barrywardell_amiconn: for the H10 at least, that is done in ide_power_enable()
00:22:57roolkuLlorean: I guess you'll have to live with that then
00:23:04amiconnYes, but maybe it would be a good idea to do it in general
00:23:08LloreanLive with what? I feel fine.
00:23:30 Join donvito [0] (n=Snake@71-89-49-84.dhcp.stpt.wi.charter.com)
00:24:13barrywardell_amiconn: yes, I think so
00:24:21LinusNstill, i think if any mod "deserves" a svn build, it would be the RTC mod
00:24:46markunit is a pretty cool mod :)
00:24:48LinusNit is vastly more popular than the other ones
00:24:48preglowagreed too
00:25:15pixelmathe problem is that it's hard to draw the line
00:25:18amiconnbarrywardell_: Regarding the player - it's strange that even the archos fw of the earliest players which had ata power control (the very first generation didn't) has a pair of ata power control functions - which are not identical with the initial ata poweron, that happens in a separate place
00:25:18LloreanLinusN: I'm all for it having a build, of any sort other than "The only H120 build we offer"
00:25:19LinusNand it's not like we need to set a policy either
00:25:55saratogaLlorean: is there some easy way to just remove the rockbox bootloader?
00:26:11saratogai'm mostly interested in getting the retail OS to work
00:26:18Lloreansaratoga: ipodpatcher -w bootpartition.bin is probably what you want to do, I assume you kept your original backup?
00:26:22LinusNit makes quite a few users (and devs) happy
00:26:27linuxstbsaratoga: dan_a has reported that ipodpatcher is working fine on his 3g.
00:26:27saratogafollowing the old instructions gets rockbox working, but the bootloader dies loading the retailos
00:26:33JdGordon|Rincewind|: ok, rockbox_browse returns an int now which could be your problem... and you need to return GO_TO_REC (or something similar.. check root_menu.h) to load the recording screen
00:26:41preglowit'd probably make me happy if i dared opening my h120 one more time
00:26:43amiconnLinusN: Depends on how you measure popularity. If you put the number of modded devices in relation to the number of all devices of that type running rockbox, I doubt it
00:27:00preglowamiconn: we're not doing a statistic here
00:27:07LinusNamiconn: that is irrelevant
00:27:27|Rincewind|JdGordon: ok, that probably is the problem, I still use it as a bool and true = usb in this case
00:27:37LinusNthe ratio of modded/unmodded devices is irrelevant
00:27:42preglowif ten people have a h120 mod and five people have an fmrecorder mod, then the h120 mod is the most popular one
00:28:00LinusNexactly
00:28:21saratogaLlorean: yes I've kept the extracted firmware, though running that command just rendered the ipod unable to boot again
00:28:24JdGordonnot it the only 5 ppl with a recorder are the same 5 using the mod
00:28:32Lloreansaratoga: "Extracted firmware"?
00:28:34JdGordonbut we dont leep stats do we?
00:28:36linuxstbSo is anyone against adding mods to the current builds table (but not making the build servers return the .zips), and adding them as daily downloads?
00:28:41JdGordons/leep/keep
00:28:44preglowi'm so, so tired of white noise now
00:28:48Soapit would be nice if someone with a vested interest simply ran a parallel build server with "mod builds"
00:29:01LinusNlinuxstb: why not offer the zips?
00:29:16linuxstbAn extra load on the build servers, slowing down the builds.
00:29:16roolkulinuxstb: could be a good compromise, but requires some more effort than just adding a build
00:29:20LloreanI think the .zips should be on a separate page, or in a separate table, at the very least.
00:29:45*amiconn thinks that providing mods as daily builds would be more than enough
00:29:48saratogaLlorean: the bootpartition.bin, although given that ipodpatcher.exe had already blotched my bootpartition I suspect its no longer good
00:29:48LinusNyeah, the mod builds could be in a separate download section
00:30:00LloreanI really, _really_ don't want normal users accidentally trying to install officially-modified builds because they don't realize there's two builds for their target.
00:30:01preglowLinusN: do you know if doing a build table for the dailies would make for a big hack?
00:30:07*JdGordon requests archos without tagcache as mods also
00:30:19Lloreansaratoga: Yes, the bootpartition.bin is supposed to have been created before you install anything...
00:30:21 Nick midkay_ is now known as midkay (n=midkay@c-24-19-236-139.hsd1.wa.comcast.net)
00:30:23roolkuLinusN: but it would still be good if failure to build them would be visible
00:30:48LinusNpreglow: i think it wouldn't be that easy - it depends on the amount of hardcoding in the scripts
00:30:53scorcheas per JdGordon's suggestion, at least just rombox
00:30:59preglowLinusN: yeah, no point if it's a bother
00:31:04saratogaLlorean: oh the original, I don't konw what happened to it, its been a year or so since I installed the bootloader
00:31:10 Quit petur ("Zzzzz")
00:31:14saratogais there someway to get another one?
00:31:31Lloreansaratoga: If you've managed to damage your apple OS image at all, you need either the original, or a properly extracted apple_os.ipod
00:31:50pixelmascorche: is rombox still buildable without tagcache after all?
00:31:52linuxstbsaratoga: http://www.felixbruns.de/iPod/firmware/ - the .ipsw file linked from there is a zip file. Unzip it and you'll get a Firmware-X.Y.Z file which is an image of your firmware partition.
00:31:53Lloreansaratoga: You pretty much have to extract it from an ipod update tool, or restore your ipod, or find someone with a 3G who can give you one.
00:32:33linuxstbsaratoga: But note that when you restore that Firmware-X.Y.Z file, your ipod will want to flash itself, so let it...
00:32:38scorchepixelma: it should be
00:32:58markunJdGordon: I would like to have (mostly) global volume button keys for the Gigabeat. Any idea how it could be done in a nice way?
00:33:34 Part midkay ("Leaving")
00:33:35|Rincewind|JdGordon: it seems that the root menu introduced a bug at USB handling. I had music playing, connected usb, disconnected. Now it says "Lese Festplatte..." (="read disc...") and is frozen
00:33:38 Join midkay [0] (n=midkay@rockbox/developer/midkay)
00:33:43saratogalinuxstb: just to be clear, I should use ipodpatcher -w Firmware-xyz ?
00:34:08roolkuright. So what is the conclusion wrt to the RTC build?
00:34:21JdGordonmarkun: eaisest way is to add actions and then the kepmap to each major context
00:34:39JdGordonbut #ifdef around the action because most targets wont be able to do that
00:34:56LinusNroolku: *my* conclusion is that i want a svn build of the rtc mod, but we have no concensus
00:34:58 Join linuxstb_ [0] (i=5343d4aa@rockbox/developer/linuxstb)
00:35:01linuxstb_saratoga: Yes.
00:35:16JdGordon|Rincewind|: hmm... damn
00:35:54|Rincewind|In the sim I got a core dump but thought the problem was with the simulated usb
00:36:14|Rincewind|it should go to root menu, right?
00:36:33preglowLinusN: i'd say the people with the build server have a bit more say than the rest, though
00:36:37barrywardell_ok
00:36:39JdGordon|Rincewind|: what should?

00:36:45LinusNpreglow: :-)
00:37:07preglowlet's not make some great big deal out of it and add the build. the day people come in here whining for the 8 meg build, we can discuss adding that too
00:37:08|Rincewind|if I unplug usb, then the music has stopped playing, so it should show the root menu
00:37:14saratogalinuxstb_: thanks for your assistance
00:37:15LinusNi'm just a little tired of the "if we do X, we have to do Y" arguments
00:37:22preglowLinusN: exactly
00:37:48preglowi don't think adding a build to the table implies any kind of policy
00:37:56LinusNme neither
00:37:58preglowit's just one more build people have requested
00:38:13LinusNexactly
00:38:26Soapbefore you add the build, do a survey, and make them tell you what about the three build enviroments they had trouble with ;)

00:39:50barrywardell_why doesn't sleep() work in bootloader builds for ipod/h10
00:40:34|Rincewind|JdGordon: the problem is, the WPS returned with SYS_USB_CONNECTED, but you don't handle this case in root_menu.c
00:40:36SpAwNwow rockbox is realy cool.
00:41:02markunSpAwN: yes, it is :)
00:41:06*roolku is still confused what he should do now
00:41:11SpAwNonlything i cant seem to fix is the scroll speed...i see the options for it..but they dont sem to make adifference
00:41:11JdGordon|Rincewind|: the wps returns SYS_USB_CONNECTED ?
00:41:11DerPapstlinuxstb: i have a question about ipodpatcher and OSX. The dmg file is automounted by the system and then executed?
00:41:19LinusNbarrywardell_: interrupts are disabled
00:41:34SoapSpAwN: ahh, you are on an iPod.
00:41:38|Rincewind|JdGordon: gwps.c on line 639
00:41:44SpAwNSoap, yes ipod video
00:41:45linuxstb_DerPapst: I've no idea...
00:41:49n1sSpAwN: they don't do what you thik they do
00:41:51SpAwNSoap, is this a known issue?
00:42:05roolkuadd build target/remove run-time detection/do nothing?
00:42:13SpAwNn1s, hmm what u mean?
00:42:14barrywardell_hmm. can't we implement a sleep without interrupts?
00:42:15linuxstb_DerPapst: What makes you ask that?
00:42:15LinusNroolku: add build target
00:42:18Soapyes, if you are up to compiling your own build you can add the Kernel on COP patch, which will help some.
00:42:25preglowroolku: in any case, runtime detection should nolonger be needed, so you can remove that
00:42:28n1sSpAwN: look for them in the manual, they control line scrolling for text.
00:42:35barrywardell_even just a wrapper around udelay() would work?
00:42:44preglowroolku: then you can add a build target like linusn says. model it on the way mods are handled for the other targets
00:42:58SpAwNn1s, hmm but i can make it go faster?....

00:43:18JdGordonshould it go back to the screen you were in? or the root menu?
00:43:39n1sSpAwN: scrolling a list with the wheel thingy−− not really, text scrolling −−- sure
00:43:40roolkupreglow: okay, I'll try :)
00:43:47LinusNJdGordon: root is probably the easiest for now
00:44:05SpAwNn1s, hmm yea im looking to be able to scroll though my music list quicker.
00:44:11|Rincewind|i think it should go to the root menu, because the file on disc that was playing could have been deleted
00:44:13DerPapstlinuxstb: heh.. but you've made it ^^ It's because i'm trying to help s.o. over at the iPL forums to install loader2 on his nano 1G but he... well... is not very good at describing what happens. so i don't know how to pass args to ipodpatcher.
00:44:19SoapSpAwN: in the Wiki, under DocumentationIndex you should find guides for the three maintained ready-to-go build enviroments, there is also a forum board dedicated to compiling.

00:55:29LinusNpreglow: yeah
00:55:42preglowLinusN: btw, h300 can dispense of the 2099 hack and instead use the wake on rtc bit to signify an enabled alarm
00:56:07SpAwNSoap, do you know of a place where i can find more inf on the COP patch? i cant seem to find it on the rockbox site.
00:56:15LinusNpreglow: ah, yes

01:07:06|Rincewind|What happens in this scenario: I enter playlist viewer directly from the main loop in gwps.c. (in my patch). While I am in there, I connect usb. Now the playlist_viewer() function exits with "true", signalling that usb is connected. What happens if I don't pass this information on to the loop in gwps.c? (what I mean is, is the SYS_SUB_CONNECTED event only created once or will gwps notice it the next time it polls the buttons?

01:31:14preglowyou can enable it during normal use, yes
01:31:17talking-headthe only time i can get the o/p to turn on (light up) is when recording using the opto in
01:31:30preglowtalking-head: you need to enable it separately
01:31:35talking-headis it a menu option to turn it on?
01:31:40preglowyes
01:31:52JdGordonpixelma: yeah, with the a-b on it gets used for ab instead of quickscreen
01:32:19talking-headanybody know where it is? i only ever see any options for it on the record screen
01:32:30preglowtalking-head: this is a good place to use the manual, but since it'm such a nice guy, i'll tell you: general settings -> playback settings -> optical output
01:32:46talking-headi even looked at the manual and that's stretching it for me ;]

01:34:15talking-headso i want to use the iriver as a transport to play flacs into it
01:34:34preglowtalking-head: be aware that due to hardware limitations, spdif out is locked to 44.1khz during playback, though
01:34:36SpAwNdamn i had to close my irc client and i cant find out what patch i was supposed to install to help speed up scrolling on my ipod video
01:34:43SpAwNit was like 5775
01:34:47SpAwNor 5575
01:35:01preglowtalking-head: currently it's also limited to 16 bit audio, but that can be extended to 20 bits as soon as someone codes the support into the driver
01:35:03talking-headyeah 44k is ok, it has an internal upsampling chip in it that triples the sample rate
01:35:23preglowtalking-head: yeah, just don't be surprised when your 48khz flacs get resampled (badly) internally in rockbox
01:35:35talking-headok good tip
01:35:40talking-headi think all of my stuff is 44k tho

01:39:57|Rincewind|JdGordon: there is a problem with 'u' = usb in the simulator. If you press 'u' again to "disconnect" then the buttons don't work anymore

01:40:25Doomed_9unless you deleted it all
01:40:27saratogai've deleted it

01:40:49|Rincewind|the only button that works is 'u'
01:41:05saratogai don't know, it was a long rant and I didn't bother to read beyond the YOU GUYS SUCKS part
01:41:54|Rincewind|i had a look in the code and the problem seems to be with the variables new_btn and btn
01:42:20scorchelets keep it in the to be deleted section....it is entertaining =D
01:42:32|Rincewind|but I don't understand the code enough to fix it quickly and for you it is probably easy since you commited it

02:07:41HoffmannPWhat do we already have?
02:07:47jhulstNot a whole lot
02:07:58jhulstI looked through the wiki and that's pretty much it
02:08:01SpAwNdan_a, ahh well thats good to know...that will plan b :-)
02:08:25jhulstFirst off, do you guys have 60 gb or the 30gb?
02:08:34xenon243430gb
02:08:45HoffmannP30gb
02:08:45amiconndan_a: I would expect a sleep using the microsecond timer to be dead simple, and it would also yield like the full blown version
02:09:02jhulstshoot, I have the 60, makes me wonder how much difference there is
02:09:14xenon2434well, i dont think they are too different
02:09:21HoffmannPprobably not too much
02:09:25xenon2434there is the usb host function, which has some differences inside
02:09:28dan_abarrywardell_: I think so - a quick grep for create_thread doesn't turn anything up
02:09:31xenon2434theres also separate firmware
02:09:46xenon2434but as far as the actual differences in hardware and firmware, probably not much

02:10:15HoffmannPLike Firmware?
02:10:36xenon2434i mean, we could get the actual firmware files from creative's site
02:10:47xenon2434but we havent managed to do anything with them yet
02:11:08HoffmannPbut a collection of older firmware would be god as well
02:11:16barrywardell_amiconn: could you elaborate a bit?
02:11:32HoffmannPdo we now whats on that circuit? Beside the Texas Instrument Chip?
02:11:43preglowamiconn: would you kill me if i modified sound.c to enable stuff like sw tone controls for sims? there'll be more #ifdef SIM but i don't think it'll be too unmanagable
02:11:53HoffmannPAnyone disconnected the HDD and checked that?
02:12:09preglowbut it does involve making sim use most of the ordinary functions, not the current stubs
02:12:11xenon2434i personally havent, but i know of a few people who did
02:12:15jhulstThere are some decent sites that have it taken apart, as of yet, I have not done any disassembling of my own

02:15:09menubitcould someone close FS feature request 6628 please ?, JdG has incorporated that with latest menu
02:15:22xenon2434alright, who has a good scanner and could get good scans of all the hardware?
02:15:39amiconnThis scheduler copies back and forth between obscure lists and pretty much relies on a working tick
02:15:56jhulstI have a scanner and I live 40 minutes from the person with the machine so it would be cheap to ship it here
02:16:06preglowamiconn: is relying on a working tick so bad?
02:16:13xenon2434oh yah, thats perfect!

02:16:26menubitthanks
02:16:28jhulstWhat do you think HoffmanP?
02:16:32barrywardell_preglow: i think it depends on interrupts, which are disabled in the bootloader
02:16:34HoffmannParen't their allready scans out there? what ever, make sure to post the info, it's unnesecary
02:16:35dan_aSpAwN: Post any errors up on pastebin.ca and post the link in here - I'll have a look for you

02:18:09amiconnThe gigabeat bootloader already defines a sleep() without yield. I don't think that's good,, even though the current bootloaders only use a single thread
02:18:13HoffmannPsorry, unnecesseary for other ppl to do the same
02:18:34barrywardell_amiconn: it works for me here

02:19:47jhulstAs soon as I get them, they will go on the wiki, that was my first plan
02:19:48amiconnpreglow: I'm not saying bootloaders should use more threads, but it means different code with different behaviour between core and bootloaders, and this difference isn't obvious from the bootloader source
02:19:54SpAwNSoap, oOoO ok let me try it with the p1 thanks

02:32:13jhulstwebguest97: we are still figuring out what needs to be done
02:33:05webguest97favoriteZEN: Well I am guessing you need to write just a lil code for the DSP core, reverse engineer one of the .exe firmware updates, which will have most of the code. Take some of the code from the games for the Ipod and just change it to work on the ZV:M

02:57:07favoriteZENAlright, apparently there is a chip exactly like it in another player. possibly this one would be easier to crack and give us an easier look into the programming of the DSP, or how to program it.
02:57:14preglowhas anyone ever managed to brick one doing a regular update?
02:57:25Lloreanjhulst: One of the most important things is to learn if the player has any method for recovering from a bad firmware install, and how to install your own code as 'firmware'
02:57:26Brandonson112I haven't yet bricked mine

02:58:12preglowjhulst: there are two courses of action here. either the dap has some kind of crash-proof rom that is always available to flash a dead unit
02:58:18preglowjhulst: or you need to connect a unit up with jtag
02:58:29preglowthis if for when you will inevitably kill your unit with bad code
02:58:52preglowthen you need to find out how to get code to execute on the device, for this you'll need to analyse a lot of firmware
02:59:02preglowin parallel, people should find out exactly what is in the dap

02:59:26favoriteZENAlright, according to some statements made by some members of RockBox, and from some other testing, the unit boots off of built in chips, and the hard drive is ONLY for media

03:00:59favoriteZENyou hit the reset and hold the power
03:01:12LloreanBrandonson112: The trick is, to get it to load Rockbox, if it doesn't load the firmware from disk every boot, you're going to have to add _something_ to flash, which means you need to be prepared for that something you add to flash to not work.
03:01:36LloreanBrandonson112: So you need a method of recovering from flashing a firmware image that prevents the player from running.

03:03:44favoriteZENWell, there is a player, that has the same processing cores as the ZV:M, you could try it on that. It doesnt have a hard drive, its a flash video player.
03:03:44saratogapreglow: yeah the reason I was interested in this chip last year was because of the cpu power, it does something like 6 MACs a clock, plus the ridiculously fast main core
03:04:02preglowsix macs a clock would be fast even for a dsp
03:04:03favoriteZENWait
03:04:06LloreanfavoriteZEN: That doesn't sound 100% identical.
03:04:24LloreanfavoriteZEN: Particularly because it has a different storage medium, and one of the things your bootloader will need is a driver for the disk.
03:04:49saratogathe DMS320 is supposed to be pretty fast, IIRC its made with MPEG4/H.264 decoding in mind
03:04:52LloreanfavoriteZEN: When I said 100% identical, I meant every single piece of hardware is the same, hooked up in the same way.
03:05:11saratogaso it has lots of MACs, though offhand I forget the details, and the pdf I found last year on ASU's site is down

03:05:43preglowsaratoga: i'm not an expert, so it might very well be true
03:05:45favoriteZENIt has a HDD made by hitachi, which does some Zen hard drives
03:05:48Lloreanjhulst: Well, supposedly it's booted without a disk in, but I personally don't know.
03:06:14Lloreanjhulst: I'm just saying that if the firmware isn't on the HD, and loaded into RAM from the HD each boot, you're going to need your very own in-flash loader, which means you need a way to recover from bad code being flashed
03:06:35jhulstLlorean: Okay, I understand now
03:06:50 Part n1s
03:07:06favoriteZENIt has the same loading of the ZV:M off of the built in RAM
03:07:06Lloreanjhulst: My point to favoriteZEN is that you cannot test bootloader code on another machine, unless that machine happens to be internally 100% identical to the one you're testing for.
03:07:37jhulstLlorean: I completely agree, I was just wondering if we had proof that it did not boot off the hard drive
03:07:37 Quit webguest69 ("CGI:IRC (EOF)")
03:08:26Lloreanjhulst: favoriteZEN mentioned it, but hasn't provided a link. It should be pretty easy to find out though: Is there a system folder or anything (may be hidden or even marked as system files), or a mysterious extra partition that doesn't have a filesystem?
03:08:51favoriteZENIt does not boot off of the HDD, the Zen will start WITHOUT a hard drive
03:08:59favoriteZENA member of Epizenter started his without the HDD
03:09:11Brandonson112yeah there is flash memory for the firmware on the mb
03:09:13saratogapreglow: looking online, most of the 320 cores seem to have 2 MACs, so I could be remembering wrong
03:10:05LloreanfavoriteZEN: That just means at least part of the boot process is in flash.
03:10:13saratogawell if it can start without the hard disk, then you should be pretty safe
03:10:22saratogafigure out how to run your own ARM code on it
03:10:37LloreanfavoriteZEN: For example, the Archoses will run firmware from flash, but if a newer firmware is on the HD load it instead, but not flash it.
03:10:37saratogadid any of those people doing firmware hacks ever get that sorted out?
03:10:45saratogabecause if so, that'd be a great place to start
03:10:46favoriteZENAll of it is
03:10:59favoriteZENIt will boot up to the regluar GUI
03:11:09jhulstsaratoga: I'll check it out, I'm not sure how far they got

03:12:40jhulstBrandonson112: Thanks for your help as well
03:12:45favoriteZENWell, I only have 100k, so it takes about 15 sec, for me to see what I type, and other people type in the chat box
03:13:04 Quit Brandonson112 ("CGI:IRC")
03:13:04preglowjhulst: you're welcome, always fun with new ports
03:14:07Lloreanjhulst: I think the main things to start with is just going to be getting the datasheets on chips, and coming up with a safe way to try out firmwares. That means finding out what the recovery mode is capable, and whether it's protected from being overwritten by a firmware flash
03:14:42favoriteZENWell, that would be hard to test, without damaging the unit itself
03:15:16jhulstLlorean: Someone had mentioned JTAG, I looked it up a little, could you give me an example, I haven't heard of that before
03:15:35LloreanfavoriteZEN: Well, you either figure out a way to find out, or you find out by trying to recover from a bad bootloader. In the end, you WILL find out if it's possible to have software-based recovery.
03:16:14Lloreanjhulst: It's a kind of hardware interface, that will let you reprogram the unit from your computer in the case of a bad flash. A recovery and debugging tool. I think. Honestly, I'm not 100% certain myself.
03:16:39Lloreanjhulst: But in the case of the recovery mode not doing the trick, you'll need to learn more than I know about it, I should say.
03:16:45toffethe jtag is also use to debug program direct on the cpu
03:17:08favoriteZENI know that the Zen will run without the hard drive, also if there is a problem on the hard drive, it will ask you to reformat. It also can reload firmware so if you run into a problem you can reload the origional firmware.
03:17:31favoriteZENAll in the recovery menu
03:17:32jhulsttoffe: How do you interact with it? Through the USB connection, is there a site that I can look at
03:19:01 Quit Thundercloud (Remote closed the connection)
03:19:04toffeyou need an interface , the simplest one go through the parallel port, or you can buy some which connect to the usb, after you have to find the software opencd is a free one but only for arm I think
03:19:44jhulstokay, thanks
03:20:06toffedo you have good picture of the board ?
03:20:14favoriteZENIf you damage the flash chips firmware upload, as long as you dont damage the recovery menu, you can easily revert back to the origional firmware

03:20:32jhulstThat is the best we have so far
03:20:40jhulstI am working on getting the scanning going
03:22:23saratogalooking around online, it seems like this chip or varients of it are used in countless different products and even some research/accademic stuff
03:22:30saratogadatasheets must be out there for it
03:22:41Lloreansaratoga: We have a page in our wiki listing several MP3 players that seem to use it, or variants
03:22:56Lloreansaratoga: The big problem is the lack of compiler for the DSP part of it, really.
03:22:58saratogamight be worth going onto various mailing lists and seeing if anyone there will slip a copy of it to us
03:23:01jhulstThere is a pdf of the datasheet I believe, but it is backwards
03:23:14toffeyou have to check first if there is a connector missing (a row of solder point,) on the gigabeat F,S and zune, you can see it easely on the board
03:23:36saratogaLlorean: I'm actually thinking more about how to actually run code on the chip, IE register maps and such
03:24:02saratogatheres plenty of people using these chips, so maybe we can get one of them to tell us about it
03:25:36jhulsttoffe: and that missing connector will be the parallel port?
03:25:52Lloreansaratoga: Ah, gotcha.
03:25:58toffeno , it will be perhaps a jtag or a console port
03:26:44jhulstokay

03:29:52saratogai'm going to walk over and take a look
03:31:06 Quit saratoga ("CGI:IRC (EOF)")
03:33:25jhulstLlorean: How likely is it that the port will be possible and how hard do you think it will be with this particular device?
03:34:27Lloreanjhulst: I can't speak for the second part. How hard it is depends entirely on what kind of information you're able to gather about different components.
03:34:58Lloreanjhulst: As for whether it's possible, as long as you can find a way to make the player load your own code, it's possible. The rest is just a matter of how much you and others can put into getting it done.
03:41:57toffeif you search on ebay : zen m vision as is , you will find some broken one,perhaps you could buy one to open it and work on the hardware
03:42:25jhulstWe have a broken one that is being donated
03:42:43toffeexample : this one as a broken lcd 120092908633
03:42:45jhulstThe only thing broken on it is the screen
03:42:53toffeok
03:43:49toffeLike I said this morning, I bought a tool to take of cpu and memory of the board, if you need it I can do it. So after you can trace all the signal
03:44:38jhulstokay,

03:58:34jhulsttoffe: So other than that, how do we make sure it doesn't turn into a brick?
03:59:37icantusefizzI have a 5.5G video ipod with the latest build of rockbox and it is not showing any of my AIFF files in the database.
03:59:50toffeI don't know :(
03:59:51icantusefizzAnybody have a suggestion?

04:00:24 Quit pingosimon (Client Quit)
04:01:03Lloreanicantusefizz: And how, exactly, are the AIFF files tagged?
04:01:21icantusefizzWhat do you mean?
04:01:50LloreanThe 'Database' is a database of metadata. File tags. I'm not even sure there is a tagging format for AIFF, but that's something I'm uncertain of.
04:03:28icantusefizzWell, im only on my third day of rockbox, and i set up the database view for my files on my ipod. Every file shows up, except files that are AIFF format.
04:03:40 Quit Arathis ("Bye, bye")
04:04:00icantusefizzWhen my ipod is connected to my laptop the AIFF files show up.
04:04:05Lloreanicantusefizz: You've already said all that. File tagging itself has nothing to do with Rockbox.
04:04:41icantusefizzOh
04:04:47icantusefizzWhat is file tagging then
04:04:57LloreanLike ID3 tags for MP3 files
04:05:04LloreanIt's information that stores Artist, Album, Genre, etc.
04:05:05icantusefizzohhh
04:05:08icantusefizzhold on i'll check
04:05:12LloreaniTunes stores them in a database.

04:09:29LloreanSpAwN: The same conditions apply to it as any other accessory.
04:10:00LloreanSpAwN: Rockbox supports the line in, and line out, and accessory power pin (I think on this last one)
04:10:09SpAwNwhich im guessing is hit or mmiss
04:10:22SpAwNi put it in..the itrip lights up.

04:13:10bonbonthejonSpAwN: i have a thing like that, the ipod plugs in to a holder which transmits and charges, rockbox works great with it
04:13:23SpAwNbonbonthejon, OoO well thats good.
04:13:41bonbonthejonSpAwN: i think it was called RoadTrip
04:13:44SpAwNi plug mine in it lights up...but it doesnt show the numbers like it does on the normal os
04:14:30LloreanSpAwN: If your thing actually interacts with the Apple_OS, then it's the sort of thing that needs to be uniquely supported

04:15:15icantusefizzok, so when i look in my ipod (as the drive, not under itunes) and look at where the actual music files are, all the files are 4 letters like CRSG or similar, and it seems like only some of them will show details like song and album in the detailed file view
04:15:27SpAwNLlorean, yea i figured it might be like that. :( ..but i wasn sure if the ipod did it or if it was just a out port that the accesory did all the work.
04:15:47Lloreanicantusefizz: Any of them that won't are likely to show up under the big <Untagged> category in the database then
04:16:27LloreanSpAwN: Even then, Rockbox would still have to be able to talk to the accessory to tell it to do all the work, and right now Rockbox can't talk to accessories at all. If they use more than line in, line out, and power, as I said, they don't work.
04:17:03icantusefizzWhat is the easiest way to get them where they belong?
04:17:25Lloreanicantusefizz: Find a program that can properly add tags, and tag them all.
04:18:20icantusefizzok, do you have any suggestions on what program might be good for that?
04:19:29Lloreanicantusefizz: No clue. As I said before, I'm not even wholly sure AIFF can be tagged.
04:19:35LloreanI'm not at all familiar with the format
04:20:28icantusefizzOk, Thanks alot for your help, I really appreciate it.
04:20:45icantusefizzI should be able to figure the rest out now
04:20:47saratogai don't think AIFF can be tagged

04:29:09SpAwNhcs, interesting. i complied from svn tonight. so i have the newest. did you have to do anything special?
04:29:21saratogaicantusefizz: if you want to use lossless, flac is a good choice, if you want to use lossy, MP3 is a good choice since its widely compatable and well supported in rockbox

07:15:31merwinHi
07:16:56merwinI've got a couple questions... I've got the Sansa E200R, and noticed that someone cracked the code for it. I tried setting everything up according to the instructions on the wiki. The only thing I changed was using the E200R bootloader as opposed to the E200 one
07:17:13merwinI still get the "Failed to load main boot image" message when I boot
07:17:27merwinIs support for the e200r working yet?
07:21:49LloreanSupport for the e200 isn't even working properly yet.
07:22:20LloreanIt's intended for developers only, overall.
07:22:45merwinYeah, understand that
07:22:59merwinjust trying to get it to boot, now that there is a bootloader for the e200r
07:24:25LloreanHave you followed the progress of R work in the forum thread, or did you just 'hear' that 'the code' was cracked, and decide to just try something?
07:24:26 Quit desowin ("use linux")
07:24:36merwinI've been following it, read all of the threads
07:25:00merwinFrom what I understand, all I need to do is flash the e200r bootloader, and extract the latest e200 build to the root of the player
07:25:16merwinalong with putting the OF.bin that I made from the sansa firmware in the /system folder
07:25:40LloreanIf you've been following the thread thoroughly, it's mentioned there that R support still isn't working properly.
07:26:07LloreanIf you intend to help with development, that thread is something you should keep very careful track of.

08:07:47amiconnWhen going there by accident, I can't leave it again with the menu button
08:08:06rkMerafelEr
08:08:10rkMerafelSorry to bother everyone
08:08:16LinusNthe menu isn't something you "leave"
08:08:21amiconnAnd when setting another screen as startup screen, then calling the root menu, the cursor isn't placed on the item I came from
08:08:22rkMerafelBut could someone help me with this
08:08:34rkMerafelI'm not very tech-y.
08:08:43LinusNamiconn: that would probably be a nice thing
08:09:13amiconn...so to go back where I came from by accident, I have to navigate the menu
08:09:14LinusNrkMerafel: cough it up - what is the problem?
08:09:24 Part Drkepilogue
08:09:37rkMerafelWell, I installed rockbox as it said to on the installation page
08:09:43LinusNamiconn: i think preselecting the last choice, or the screen you came from, might be a good idea
08:09:44rkMerafelOn an iriver h10 btw
08:10:02rkMerafelAnd it all worked fine, I've got the funny new menu
08:10:18rkMerafelExcept it won't go into files or database
08:10:34LloreanLinusN: I think maybe 'Menu' should toggle the Root menu. If you came to it from somewhere, a second press should return you there.
08:10:34rkMerafelIt just says "database is not ready"
08:10:47LloreanrkMerafel: It says that for files too?
08:10:51amiconnLinusN: It is as soon as the menu was used once, but not when first entering it from a set startup screen
08:10:57LinusNLlorean: maybe that isn't such a bad idea
08:11:15rkMerafelOn files it goes into a directory that has a Text folder and a rockbox app
08:11:20LloreanLinusN: I think it's a very friendly behaviour.
08:11:36LinusNLlorean, amiconn: i think you're right
08:11:54LloreanrkMerafel: That would be the root of your device, probably in the "Supported" show files mode.
08:12:08LloreanrkMerafel: Database won't be ready until you use the Initialize option for it as described in the manual.
08:12:09LinusNrkMerafel: could it be that the music directory is hidden?
08:12:42rkMerafelEr
08:12:57rkMerafel"Initialize"?
08:13:11LinusNrkMerafel: also described in the manual
08:13:42rkMerafelRight
08:14:19LinusNwhat is on your device when you connect it to the computer?
08:14:38LinusNare there more folders than the TEXT folder?
08:15:08rkMerafelYeah
08:15:20rkMerafelThere's like 18GB of music
08:15:44LloreanHe means, visible in the root of the device, I believe
08:15:47LinusNin which folder?
08:15:53rkMerafelMusic
08:16:10LloreanrkMerafel: Is it MTP or UMS?
08:16:12LinusNok, so the "Music" folder isn't shown in the file browser?
08:16:20rkMerafelNot on the device, no.
08:16:31rkMerafelI've done the "initialize" thing as it said to in the manual
08:16:45rkMerafelIt says it may take some time, the player is almost full.
08:17:15*LinusN gets some black goo in a cup
08:17:35amiconnHuh?

08:27:24merwinLinusN: Is there anything I can do to help get rockbox running on the E200R?
08:27:25LinusNjust sliently deleting it looks like abuse of power to me
08:27:28LloreanLinusN: His posts were already removed by the time I returned from dinner. But his posts didn't belong in the Zune thread anyway, which I explained in my response to him.
08:27:34scorchenot sure why the original one was...i believe saratoga was the one who started
08:27:56scorcheprobably the wrong section was the reason
08:28:30LloreanLinusN: I think the fact that his posts were blatantly breaking the specific guidelines for the New Ports forums and were off topic for the thread they were posted in was reason enough for deletion, without beginning to take into account the tone or delivery of his message.
08:28:41GodEatercan someone give me a rundown on what his beef was (I'm burning with curiousity now)
08:28:49LloreanLinusN: But I think my response is a mostly good one, and it does offer to take up proper discussion of any points he feels important in a better place.
08:29:12LinusNGodEater: his beef was that we should port Rockbox to Zune, because it is a popularo target
08:29:41GodEaterah - a sort of "drop everything else you're doing and listen to me dammit!" post ?

08:31:06LinusNi think it's bad to leave his accusations unanswered, and only talk about breaking the rules

08:34:30scorchethat rockbox currently supports, yes
08:34:33amiconnHrmm, on the player Stop which goes up file system levels also goes file browser->main menu. I don't think that's good
08:35:12LinusNamiconn: it's the same as left-to-root on the other platforms
08:35:19AaronDo you think the 90 dB SNR on the Archos is noticably worse than a DAP with 95 or 96?
08:35:27amiconnhmmmmm......
08:35:44AaronAnd does the SNR affect just the headphone output or also the Line Out of a player?
08:35:57 Part rkMerafel
08:36:28LloreanLinusN: You are welcome to move his post to the general discussion forum and respond to it, of course.
08:36:34amiconnAaron: I don't know which actual daps you are referring to, but e.g. the archos recorder is significantly less noise than e.g. the iriver h100 series
08:36:43LinusNLlorean: i'm tempted to do that
08:37:02amiconnLinusN: Yes, but on other platforms you can go any level->root with long Left
08:37:20amiconn...which won't be possible with long Stop on player of course
08:37:26LinusNamiconn: ah, right
08:37:35JdGordonamiconn: fix the player keymap then... just put ACTION_TREE_STOP there instead of ACTION_STD_CANCEL
08:37:49AaronWait, so the Archos Jukebox sounds better than the h100? I thought a higher SNR was better
08:37:52amiconnACTION_TREE_STOP would be wrong
08:38:07ShaidSNR isn't everything

08:40:14amiconnIt usually is, but then don't take all the numbers dap manufacturers tell you for granted
08:41:02amiconnI doubt that the H100's real snr comes even near 80dB snr, at least not with the headphone output
08:41:40AaronThe h100 has a 80db SNR? Numbers wise isn't that horrible compared the Archo's JBR?
08:42:12LloreanAaron: There's no reason to fixate solely on the SNR.
08:42:40AaronOkay. Do any of you know if the sound output of the Archos will be as good as that of an Ipod Video?
08:42:51scorchemuch better IMO

08:55:56bluebrotheryou're talking about that zune post?
08:55:59amiconnbluebrother: "Main root rockbox menu" ;)
08:55:59LloreanLinusN: Most rants don't actually get deleted.
08:56:13LloreanA lot of them stay around, for a long time.
08:56:43B4gderhm, seems the forums and/or my network is dog slow this morning
08:56:53LloreanBut the New Ports section has generally been treated very strict, so I think the response at the time was in line with the standard for that forum: Non-development posts get trimmed.
08:56:53GodEaterit's the forums as usual
08:56:55bluebrotherforums are slow for me too
08:57:01LloreanI don't think it was relating to the ranting itself.
08:57:10merwinB4gder: Is there anything I can do to help get the e200r firmware working? I assume that you personally don't have one.
08:57:25LinusNa public polite answer to a rambling is often effective, as it really shows that the poster is an ass
08:57:44bluebrotherafk
08:57:56B4gdermerwin: a first test would be to generate an mi4 without the "full plaintext" trick to see if that works
08:58:29merwinB4gder: How to do that?
08:59:08B4gdermerwin: you need to use mi4code manually
08:59:22merwinB4gder: BTW, I used the mi4code to decrypt and then re-encrypt the sansa e200r firmware and it loaded fine
08:59:31B4gderah
08:59:36LinusNregarding the name of the root menu, i think "Main menu" is the best. it's short and descriptive
08:59:42B4gdermerwin: that's very good news
09:00
09:00:06LinusNhey, even "Menu" would be good
09:00:15B4gdermerwin: hm, did that use a "blank" DSA signature then?
09:00:22merwinB4gder: However, decrypting the e200 firmware and re-encrypting it with the rhapsody encryption did not work. I got the error on booting
09:00:39B4gderyes
09:00:41B4gderthat's expected
09:00:49merwinblank dsa signature?
09:00:59B4gderit isn't only the encryption that differs, there's also a different "magic" number in the mi4
09:01:25B4gdermerwin: there's a DSA signature in the mi4 files
09:01:48B4gderso I wanted to understand what DSA you used in the re-encrypted one that worked
09:02:15GodEaterdoes anyone think it's worth point out to Mr. Angry that *most* open source efforts revolve around the PC platform - where you spend money on hardware only once really. Our project is different because every time someone wants a new port, someone somewhere has to go and shell out at least for the player, and in some cases on esoteric stuff like JTAG connectors and whatknot?
09:02:19merwini just used the following: mi4code decrypt e200r_pp5022.mi4 e200r_pp5022.mi4.decryped
09:02:32merwinmi4code encrypt e200r_pp5022.mi4 e200r_pp5022.mi4.rhapsody rhapsody
09:02:38GodEaterI mean - unless you all feel that's just stating the obvious?
09:02:47LinusNGodEater: that's a good point, let's save that ammo for his angry reply :-)
09:02:52LloreanGodEater: I think that can be kept in reserve.

09:16:01merwinah
09:16:11merwinprobably not one around yet, huh?
09:16:14B4gderand that's never been attempted on an R model
09:16:33merwinI suppose a bad flash on that could brick it
09:16:47B4gdernot that likely, no
09:16:53B4gdere200tool is magic
09:16:57merwinoh
09:17:05merwinhm... is it easy to do?
09:17:06B4gderbut still
09:17:22B4gderwe should first make sure mi4code build builds an image of the same size that works
09:17:29merwintrue
09:17:46B4gderI mean, the DSA signing should be the last thing we attempt
09:18:04merwinthere's some other options in build, like the header and plaintext length
09:18:34merwinthe file size is exactly 1024 bytes different
09:18:40merwinold vs new
09:18:46B4gder... and the mi4 header is 1024 bytes...
09:20:15merwinbut the stripped/decrypted version is only 512 bytes smaller
09:20:44B4gderright, I was wrong the header is 512 bytes
09:20:57B4gderthe mi4 files are always padded to aligned 1024 bytes
09:21:39merwinshould i be changing the plaintext length or the header?
09:22:00merwinwhen i build
09:23:17B4gderI think you should debug the reason why it builds a larger image

09:26:59merwinand the original version has data in the first ~68 bytes that looks like a header, while the new one barely has any data in that area
09:30:19B4gderthe new one should too, as the mi4 header is in the first ~68 bytes
09:33:02merwinI think the difference i'm seeing is the lack of the signature
09:34:02merwinis it supposed to do any actual encryption when i use the build command?
09:34:13merwinlike, should i use build and then encrypt?
09:34:14B4gdergood question
09:34:22B4gderI don't remember
09:34:54merwinit looks like the resulting file after "build" is just the decrypted file with a header and padding at the end (along with some other little changes which i think are probably trivial)

09:44:41JerryLangeok what i want to clarify is i download a current version of rockbox. put it in my simulator folder D:\Zip Files\Rockbox\ipod-video-sim-w32\archos\.rockbox and i get errors. when its loading
09:45:01LloreanJerryLange: That's because the simulator IS rockbox.
09:45:15LloreanJerryLange: The rockbox.iriver or rockbox.ipod or whatever file is the same as the simulator executable.
09:45:26merwindan_a: good to know it's just me
09:45:28LloreanJerryLange: You have to build a new simulator, you can't just copy a build to it.
09:45:46JerryLangeok thats what i figured, but i had to ask
09:46:56LinusNJerryLange: the simulator doesn't simulate the hardware, it's just a version of rockbox that runs on your pc

11:08:25LinusNwhat do you mean?
11:08:46amiconnI think that e.g. selecting an (a)dvanced build instead of a (n)ormal one could present a list of mods to select from for all targets
11:09:02LinusNamiconn: that would be damn nice
11:09:19pondlifeIs (A)dvanced a replacement for (D)evel?

11:10:17pondlifeYes

11:22:54LinusNor (o)options, or (e)xtras or whatever
11:23:01markunLinusN, amiconn: the only hardware difference (visible to rockbox) between the Gigabeat F and X is the lack of button lights, maybe they could go into the advanced options as well?
11:23:25LinusNmarkun: can't it be autodetected?
11:23:50markunLinusN: I don't know
11:24:07markunLinusN: The LED controller is there, but there are just no LEDs connected
11:24:22markun(besides the ones for the backlight)
11:24:26roolkuokay, so I rename the existing (D)evel option to (A)dvanced move the 8Mb build there and add the RTC mod? Is this correct?
11:24:27LinusNisn't there any other way of detecting F vs X?
11:24:45LinusNroolku: yes, i think that sounds ok
11:24:55amiconnmarkun: If it's desired that they're running the same build these things should be auto detected, otherwise there should be 2 targets. Imho.

11:52:05BigBambiLinusN: I don't know if you saw, but on the v7 H100 pre-release bootloader that Slasheri did, he removed a sleep that now causes the bootloader to alsways think my remote hold is on, so I can't turn on from remote. Just a heads up to say it seems that is still important!
11:53:30merwinJust curious, is there any news on the AMS front?
11:53:31LinusNBigBambi: aha
11:53:51LinusNmerwin: we are sending a delegation on march 9
11:53:58BigBambiI think he said he thinks that removing the sleep means the ADC hasn't had time to settle
11:54:21 Quit JazzBone ("Trillian (http://www.ceruleanstudios.com")
11:54:30merwinLinusN: Good to hear! I hope it's as productive as I think it will be.
11:55:01LinusNBigBambi: the remote hold is detected with a port pin on the h100
11:55:52merwinI'm really surprised that you got cooperation with a manufacturer. Doesn't usually happen
11:56:04LinusNmerwin: we're not there yet
11:56:20BigBambiLinusN: I'm probably misreporting him then (my hardware knowledge is slim), but nonetheless, there is something that messed up hold detection on my remote, and I'm pretty sure he thought it was down to removing a sleep
11:56:36BigBambiIt works perfectly with v6

11:56:43LinusNBigBambi: i see it now, it looks like the remote type is improperly detected
11:56:50BigBambiah, OK
11:57:16LinusNi think pondlife was looking at this
11:57:30merwinLinusN: Well, if you get the dev boards, data sheets, and programming info... that should help :)
11:57:35BigBambiSo has the remote detection changed from v6?
11:57:36pondlifeThe H300 non-LCD remote type is not detected early enough
11:57:46LinusNBigBambi: v6 had no detection at all
11:57:56BigBambipondlife: LinusN I have a standard H100 lcd remote
11:58:02BigBambiLinusN: OK, that makes sense
11:58:32pondlifeWell, no detection has taken place when the hold check occurs, so it might affect others
11:58:53LinusNcorrect
11:59:01*XavierGr gets excited with all this bootloader talk :D
11:59:22pondlifeIt could be reordered, but will result in a slower hold detect, and IIRC an ATA initialisation at least.
11:59:24BigBambiSo at the moment is v6 assuming the original h100 lcd remote and reading buttons on that basis?
11:59:26LinusNBigBambi: can you update the IriverBoot page with this, so we don't forget it?
11:59:36LinusNBigBambi: yes
11:59:39BigBambiLinusN: sure, will do
12:00
12:00:09pondlifeLinusN: Why not just move the hold check down a bit? Is there a big penalty for this?

12:00:45pondlifeI did that here and it Worked For Me
12:00:48LinusNpondlife: the original idea was to detect hold before even turning on the lcd
12:01:02pondlifeYes, but is that very important?
12:01:18LinusNbut we could just as well delay it
12:01:22LinusNno, not important
12:02:28pondlifeIt still displays "Hold detected - shutting down" after all.
12:02:40LinusNok to me
12:02:50pondlifeGo LinusN Go!
12:03:19LinusNi'll commit what i have first
12:03:26pondlifeOK
12:03:43LinusNit's a work in progress, but i think i'd like people to test it before i move on
12:03:53BigBambiLinusN: wiki note added
12:04:11pondlifeI can do that later. My H300 battery needs to charge a bit first though. Was down to 3.05V...
12:04:38pondlifeNot sure I want to flash it without a decent charge
12:04:40LinusNpondlife: my upcoming bootloader has charging :-)
12:04:43BigBambiI can test H1x0 (with trepidation - I would have no way to fix a bad flash)

12:05:00BigBambiBut still, from LinusN I'd be confident!
12:05:04pondlifeBigBambi: Me too, but it's not been a problem so far
12:05:11BigBambipondlife: exactly
12:05:12fejfighteryour lucky i can barely reach 3.70 v befor mine dies, new battery for me
12:05:41pondlifeMine runs from 4.17V on a full charge, it lasted >18 hours yesterday
12:06:13BigBambiI've got a 2200mAh iPod battery in my H1x0, it runs nearly 30 hrs
12:06:14austriancoderLinusN: i think i will change my SoC topic from compiled skins to the usb stack... as sansa players need it
12:06:19pondlifeI was running battery_bench, so should be able to get the exact time after charging
12:06:33pondlifeThis is an original battery
12:06:46pondlifeDid much better than I expected
12:06:49BigBambipondlife: 18 hrs on original battery is very impressive!
12:07:15pondlifeThis was playing 128kbps MP3, I didn't have much 192 around.
12:07:22BigBambinonetheless...
12:07:32pondlifeBacklight off, no database....
12:08:40pondlifeMaybe I got that wrong? I only checked it briefly last night and it still seemed to be reporting 30%... I'll find out the truth later.
12:13:06markunaustriancoder: you will apply as a student?
12:13:14pondlifeHmm, weird battery_bench results.. it goes down to 9% after 7:35, but then jumps suddenly up to 65% at 7:42... I'm certain it was not touched/charged!

12:15:35XavierGrhehe
12:15:37pondlifeDon't worry about it. That explains the super high runtime too... Start again :(
12:16:09XavierGrwell battery_bench can't be wrong about voltage ratings, it captures them from the powermanagement part of rockbox
12:16:12austriancodermerwin: mainly.. or on the new player i will get from AustriaMicroSystems.. but i hope to make it very generic and so support for other player should be done
12:16:41XavierGrpondlife: also the USB charging should be visible in the logfile

12:24:24bluebrotherit's Rockbox menu :P
12:24:26pondlifeMain menu
12:24:38bluebrotherit is not a root.
12:24:39safetydanmerwin, which would be bad for what I want to do :) But there's various ogg tag "recommendation" pages out there that say "thou shalt use year-month-day"
12:24:44fejfighteroh no the argument has started again
12:24:56pondlifeIt says Main Menu in the setting for Start Screen...
12:25:14LinusNit feels good that the main menu is so well received, we usually get heavily bashed for changing the ui
12:25:18*pondlife is going to attempt 1 day without any UI argument
12:25:31pondlifeThat's because it IS good
12:25:36*bluebrother thinks about how to bash that change ...
12:25:38safetydanI didn't think I'd like the new menu, but it's grown on me.
12:25:48LinusNi love it
12:26:10bluebrotherthe point is that you can still have the old ui feeling. Because it is not a root menu :D
12:26:16pondlifelol
12:26:17fejfighteri havent had much of a chance but it looks good
12:26:36bluebrotherif it was designed as a root only menu it would feel different.

13:07:17bluebrotherjust add a directory to a playlist and shuffle that
13:07:21fejfighterhold select on the directory then go playlist> insert>shuffled
13:07:41GodEaterI think he means play the albums in a shuffled order, but not the albums content ?
13:07:48bospaadjeGodEater, indeed
13:08:22GodEaterin which case, I think the answer is no - but don't hold me to that
13:08:34fejfighterrandom folder advance, or am think an experimantal build?
13:08:45GodEaterah - no - you're right - that would work
13:09:01*GodEater awards fejfighter a gold star
13:09:27fejfightertakes and puts on chest, grin from ear to ear
13:10:11GodEaterbospaadje: will that do you ?
13:10:18bluebrotheralways these starred guys ... *shakes head*
13:10:25bospaadjethat would do it, yes
13:11:15GodEateryou know where to find it ?
13:11:21quatrixis there a way to connect externa storage to an mp3 player via a usb host cable?
13:11:28BigBambibospaadje: You need to run the plugin first (called random_folder_advance) I think, then turn on the option in the settings to enable it
13:11:45GodEaterquatrix: none of them that run rockbox
13:12:11quatrixhmm
13:12:32BigBambiquatrix: I think so theoretically using USBOTG, but rockbox doesn't have a USBOTG driver, so players with USBOTG can't currently use it in rockbox anyeway
13:13:22bospaadjeBigBambi, thanks, found it
13:13:27BigBambinp
13:13:49bospaadjedo i have to update the directory list manually again when i put other music on the player?
13:13:54quatrixthere are lots of things one can do if it was possible (if there was a driver) to connect usb devices to a player
13:14:03quatrixi.e wifi
13:14:05GodEaterbospaadje: yes
13:14:13BigBambibospaadje: You can either update it manually or run the plugin again
13:14:16BigBambiI think
13:14:21BigBambiEasier just to rerun the plugin
13:14:30GodEateris the .dat file it generates plain text then ?
13:14:48BigBambiquatrix: Only if they have a USBOTG or similar chip
13:14:52bospaadjeBigBambi, i consider rerunning the plugin manual
13:14:54bospaadje:)
13:15:12BigBambiThat's half manual, real manual is getting dirty in files :)
13:15:34BigBambiquatrix: Most USB mass storage devices just have USB slave
13:16:33bospaadjeit still requires some work :) would be nicer if it generated that directory list dynamically.. but this'll work too
13:17:01BigBambibospaadje: It could, but then it'd have to run the plugin scan everytime you turned the player off or used USB
13:17:12GodEaterit would be slow as hell
13:17:17BigBambiAs rockbox has no way to know if you added or deleted music in USB
13:17:21bospaadjeyeah i figured that
13:17:33BigBambiWhich, as GodEater said, would be as slow as hell
13:17:58BigBambiSlow as hell rather - hell isn't known for being slow (that I know of)
13:18:19GodEaterah - but is it endo or exothermic ?
13:18:41BigBambilol, you seen that supposed student answer on it?
13:18:45ShaidDepends on whether it's a cold day in hell.

13:44:06XavierGrwow now rockbox deosn't boot the OF while charging while off
13:44:15XavierGrthough Linus why the backlight is on forever?
13:44:32LinusNso you can see what is going on?
13:44:33preglowbasically, what has changed in the cutoff point for the filter. i don't know exactly where the old one had the cutoff point, but this has it in the midpoint between cross gain and highfreq attenuation
13:44:35XavierGrI think it will be best that the backlight will light on button activity
13:44:43preglowi don't really know if it's for better or worse
13:44:56preglowLinusN: actually tested the alarm yet?

13:45:49pondlifeThe OF keeps backlight on...
13:45:57XavierGrnope
13:46:06n1sit has a setting
13:46:18XavierGryou are wrong pondlife, OF has an option to leave it on forever or turn off after x seconds
13:46:23LinusNXavierGr: it shouldn't be too hard to do
13:46:30pondlifeOn H300? I thought the Charging screen ignored that setting.
13:46:31XavierGrthough for the bootloader I think that a fixed interval should be defined
13:46:44XavierGrno it really works okay on OF

13:57:50pondlifeYep. I don't think an apology was needed!
13:58:09preglowdepends if he usually apologises when someone thanks him
13:58:32linuxstbWhat are people's views about moving the Sleep TImer from the settings into the new System entry in the main/root/rockbox menu? I've got a patch ready to commit...
13:58:57markunpreglow: I should get rolo to work on the Gigabeat so I can quickly switch
13:58:58pondlifelinuxstb: Why move it to the top level?
13:59:17linuxstbpondlife: Because it isn't a setting - the value isn't written to the .cfg file.
13:59:41linuxstbIt's more an "action" - telling Rockbox to sleep within X minutes, if the user doesn't manually power off before then.
13:59:46LinusNi don't really see the sleep timer as a system entry
13:59:59preglowi don't think it belongs where it is, but it's not a system entry, no
14:00
14:00:01markundo we have more of these actions that don't get saved?
14:00:02pondlifeDoesn't seem important enough for the top level though
14:00:13XavierGrehm? why does he apologizes? Linus said "Wonderful!"
14:00:20preglowbut a system entry might be better anyway
14:00:27LinusNi guess he thought i was sarcastic
14:00:28linuxstbI see "shutdown" and "reboot" options maybe being added to system in the future, so the sleep timer fits with those.
14:00:36pondlifeYes
14:00:46LinusNmaybe "System" is a bad name?
14:01:11markun"Control"?
14:01:17linuxstbIt fits in with "system" in my mind for some reason...
14:01:17pondlifeWould anyone else prefer "Files" to be "File Browser"? And similar for "Database"...
14:01:33linuxstbpondlife: I think it will look ugly with "Browser" everywhere.
14:01:34LinusNi like it how it is
14:01:40markunpondlife: no me
14:01:42markunnot
14:01:43pondlifeOK, just a thought

14:02:13pondlifeSomeone mentioned it, so I thought I'd echo....
14:03:29linuxstbSo is the general view "no", or "yes, but let's rename system to something else" ?

15:37:11amiconnlinuxstb: What do you think would be the best way to add another type of bitmaps to the bitmap build system: (1) Add another set of directories for them, for a total of 6 (instead of 4), or (2) Drop the separation into directories by type, and use a part of the filename instead?
15:37:33voltagexdo I reflash to use the new bootloader?
15:37:48voltagex(for H340)
15:38:30Domonokyyes

15:54:46Domonokyrbutil uses the last official one which is from 30.6.2006
15:55:22voltagexwell nvm
15:55:26voltagexoooh new menu
15:55:31Domonokyand i dont find a newer bootloader in the wiki
15:55:37voltagexcan we have pretty 3d icons next?
15:55:47voltagexlike on the official iRiver firmware?

15:58:07linuxstbamiconn: What other bitmaps are needed? Is it likely to grow beyond 6?
15:58:25voltagexok
15:58:40XavierGronly those that can compile the bootloader from SVN can get it, though I am discouraging you to compile it yourself if you don't know what you are doing
15:59:06voltagexI know how to compile things but yeah I'll stay away
15:59:37XavierGrwell it is true that if you follow close instructions on the iriverboot page in the wiki you can make the bootloader
15:59:49XavierGrbut don't whine if something goes completely wrong :P

16:05:54GodEaterthey deleted that site - it's only available in the wayback machine now :(
16:06:02GodEaterwhich is a shame - I thought it was funny as heck
16:06:11voltagexüeber, hmm that wörkëd
16:06:26GodEaterexcept that's not am umlaut...
16:06:29DomonokyGodEater: build wxWidget2.8 your self :-)
16:06:31voltagexDomonoky: eject on posix systems is umount....
16:06:51voltagexGodEater: the dot-dot is an umlaut right?
16:06:58voltagex¨
16:07:02GodEaterDomonoky: I could - but then it would conflict with the 2.6.3 install I already have
16:07:13Domonokyjeah, but i would have to issue the "eject" command to the system somehow,, will have to research..
16:07:17voltagexGodEater: install it in a VM?
16:07:23GodEatervoltagex: depends on your language, in some it's a dioresce
16:07:34voltagexDomonoky: just umount the location of the player
16:07:51linuxstbamiconn: What will your transparent bitmaps look like? Are you implementing a mask for the 2bpp version?
16:08:00voltagexos.popen("umount player_location")
16:08:15Domonokybut i have to do it in a portable way :-)
16:08:26linuxstbNo you don't...
16:08:29GodEatervoltagex: yep - what's the windows equivalent ?
16:08:42Domonokyrbutil runs on win/lin/mac
16:08:43voltagexDomonoky: umount for posix, then there's only one troublesome os to handle
16:08:49Domonoky:-)
16:09:02linuxstbI think we can do that kind of stuff in OS specific ways. e.g. on Mac, you need to unmount the ipod before installing the bootloader, on Windows and Linux you don't.
16:09:03GodEaterDomonoky: you could just use ifdef
16:09:36*Domonoky noted "eject" on his todo list :-)
16:10:26linuxstbAlso, on the Mac, after you install the bootloader, the Mac will helpfully remount it...
16:10:37amiconnlinuxstb: Yes, transparent bitmaps will use a mask on all non-colour targets.bmp2rb will evaluate (255,0,255) as being transparent to be compatible with the colour targets
16:11:28amiconnAll rockbox bitmaps will get a small struct header carrying its parameters
16:11:54amiconn...so the bitmap drawing functions will have less parameters
16:12:03voltagex:( doesn't seem to be a windblows equivalent of umount

17:09:22bonbonthejonsakuramboo: reinstall the bootloader, see if that helps, did you follow the wiki instructions
17:09:30sakurambooyes
17:10:58linuxstbWhich wiki instructions? For the 4g, you should follow the old "IpodInstallation" version - using the ipod_fw and ipodpatcher tools.
17:11:26bonbonthejonlinuxstb: what is wrong wit the newer installer, its worked on mine so far

17:13:01bonbonthejonlinuxstb: yup, i have used the linux 32-bit installer on the installation beta page, and it works
17:13:06linuxstbsakuramboo: Then the Apple firmware should start fine - assuming you followed the instructions correctly.

17:21:32linuxstbYes. But the combination of the new bootloader and new ipodpatcher results in a failure to load the Apple firmware.
17:21:51sakuramboowell, gah
17:21:52linuxstbIt's mentioned on the wiki page and we're still trying to find a solution.
17:22:12GodEaterdid dan_a get any closer to working out where it broke ?
17:22:38sakurambooi think thats the one i used initially, then
17:23:18linuxstbGodEater: I think he managed to get it working, but only by hacking the bootloader and using gcc 4.1.1. We still don't understand the actual problem.
17:23:39GodEatergcc 4.1.1 for arm ?
17:27:00sakuramboonope, im still getting to the "rockbox loaded." message and it just stops
17:27:28GodEatersakuramboo: so you've now used the old ipodpatcher and the old boot loader ?
17:27:36nlsshould the "root" menu be called Main Menu in the manual or do we have any other suggestions?
17:27:51sakuramboowith the old bootloader and with the new bootloader

18:47:01dpI just installed rockbox on my ipod video by following the instructions at http://download.rockbox.org/manual/rockbox-ipodvideo/rockbox-build.html. when the ipod rebooted, it's sitting at the black screen with the apple, and has been for several minutes. is this normal behavior?

19:37:57Nico_Pi'll try to see if it seems doable
19:40:46pixelmaperl|work: easy fix... just split your music files with a program that can use the info from the cue sheet for that ;)
19:42:21perl|worki was doing that before Nico_P's wonderful patch
19:43:18bluebrotherwhy not present the cue sheet as multiple entries in the playlist viewer / wps and keep it as a single file in the playlist file?
19:44:16Nico_Pbluebrother: because that's much more complicated to do and doesn't apply to files with embedded chapter info (e.g. MP4)
19:44:25perl|workpixelma now that we have .cue sheet support i dont see any reasons to split them and i have quite a lot of mp3s/cues
19:44:41Nico_Pthough only cues are supported ATM, i hope to extend the code to support other types of chapters

22:33:10powers723Hi. I'm new to rockbox, and am planning on modifying it for a science project. I have rockbox compiling and running in the simulator under cygwin on windows. I was wondering if anyone could explain why changing the volume setting in the simulator does not appear to change the volume. This appears to be true in both the iPod Color/Photo and iPod Video.
22:34:06nlspowers723: because it is not implemented

22:35:15powers723nls: Ok, thanks. I'll make do without.
22:35:42LinusNpowers723: the simulator is only for developing the UI, the volume control is not vital for that
22:35:50nlspowers723: you can try to use the equalizer pre amp, I guess that will work to control volume in the sim
22:36:54nlsor rather it will work to lower volume :-)
22:37:12powers723It's ok, its not essential :p
22:37:26linuxstb_It should be able to control the system mixer though - although as LinusN said, it's far from a high priority to fix.
22:38:09*linuxstb_ would like someone to make a Desktop Rockbox
22:38:40linuxstb_(obviously called Deskbox or Rocktop)
22:38:40NuclearDogYeah, it'd be nice.
22:38:57NuclearDogFor a while I was using the rockbox sim to play music on my computer, but using a numpad on a laptop is just too annoying.

23:00:45nlsahh, that is a good reason :-)
23:01:08linuxstbnls: It was partly an accident - I clicked on "reopen" expecting a text box similar to the "close" link, but it immediately reopened it. But the reason is that I think a comparison of Rockboy's source with iboy, and incorporating any useful changes would be a good thing.
23:01:29linuxstbiboy is being actively developed, Rockboy isn't...
23:01:52nlsah, ok

23:13:15linuxstbI'm also confused about that...
23:13:27 Part LinusN
23:13:53bluebrotherthere was some consens to not have it as root. So initially the screens didn't leave with left to the menu
23:14:12mollLinusN: then I've probably found a bug (H120, sim). If there's nothing to resume (as of mp3 playback) and I go to the main menu from the radio i says "Nothing to resume"
23:14:51bluebrotherand calling that thing "root" might also cause confusion about the root folder as it sounds similar

23:16:07linuxstbbluebrother: But I still don't understand how you are visualising it, if it isn't a root menu.
23:16:50bluebrotherI still think of a couple of screens at the same level, bewteen which you can switch. Some screens can call each other, some not
23:17:06bluebrotherand each screen can have its own hierarchy. Like the file browser
23:17:17SoapAhh, but I see those "shortcut keys" as like rope ladders between branches of a tree.
23:17:25nlsmoll: Now you made me use the radio for the third time on my h300 :-P but yes it resumes file playback even if comming from fm
23:17:50Soapwith the "root menu" being the trunk, and file browser, database browser, settings, radio, WPS, recording all being branches.

23:18:40bluebrotherjumping between arbitrary elements in a screen isn't a quite clear thing to me. Jumping between screens is.
23:18:43markunSoap: and they are not really branches, because you can go to the menu and back to the file browser without going all the way to the root of the file tree
23:18:53bluebrotherjust think of the file / database browser remembering its position.
23:19:18bluebrother_If_ the menu were a root one you would _need_ to always start in the root folder when entering the file browser
23:19:35bluebrotheras it doesn't work that way it isn't a root menu.

23:21:26SpAwNwill rockbox eventualy support all types of videos?..or is it gonna be geared toward one video format?. it would be killer if i could(in time) be able to play a divx of xvid video...or any other kinda common video files
23:21:53nlsSpAwN: if someone codes it, sure
23:22:07thegeek_no
23:22:13SoapSpAwN: divx, spell it forward or backwards, takes a lot more CPU than MPEG2.
23:22:17bluebrotherSpAwN: divx needs a lot of processing power ... so that makes it quite unlikely
23:22:18thegeek_atleast not on any current targets
23:22:19linuxstbSpAwN: Rockbox will support whatever people choose to implement. But the CPUs in most devices are very limited, so don't expect it to be able to play any video you can throw at it.
23:22:30markunSpAwN: the size, framerate and audio probably need to be changed anyway, so you could just as well change the video codec..
23:22:34SpAwNnls, well i dont know how to code :( ....but im sure somene could get mplayer on there?
23:22:44linuxstbDefinitely not.

23:25:26bluebrotherok, I think I should really create a picture explaining the menu structure.
23:26:05markunbluebrother: explain to who?
23:26:06barrywardellif I calculated right, it wraps about once every 71.58 minutes
23:26:22bluebrotherto some people in the channel ;-)
23:26:37barrywardellwouldn't want to be doing a frequency change around then!
23:26:40bluebrotherbut maybe something similar would even be good for the manual. I just need to try it first
23:26:41linuxstbI thought the menu structure was self-explanatory - there is one menu which is the starting point in Rockbox, and a number of screens attached to that menu...
23:26:41markunbluebrother: they'll get the picture from using it, don't worry
23:27:19markunlinuxstb: yes, much more logical now
23:27:26bluebrotherthey might get it. But explaining it with nice pictures might draw more attention to the manual (and make more users actually read it)
23:27:40*x1jmp wonders why there are so few patches relating to translation in the tracker
23:27:53x1jmpdo all the translators have access to svn?
23:27:55linuxstbmarkun: Which is why I regard it as a "root menu" in concept (although I agree it shouldn't be called that).

23:28:25bluebrothernls: nice.
23:28:38bluebrotherme is heavily lacking time atm.
23:28:38barrywardelllinuxstb: i suppose it's only a 1 in 2 million chance for the frequency scaling, but with udelay(150000) in the sansa lcd driver, that's a lot more likely
23:28:49nlsx1jmp: basically, translations get committed quite fast
23:29:07Soapthank you for the explination bluebrother
23:29:29SoapI know you have been making this point for a couple of days, I'm glad I finally understand it now.
23:29:32x1jmpnls: so the devs translate everything themselves?
23:29:48linuxstbbarrywardell: I'm pretty sure I tried to fix the wrapping ages ago, but it didn't fix the freezing, and my implementation was hackish, so I never got around to committing it...
