00:22:24 Quit bluebrother (" sleep")
00:22:36jhMikeSIf it's not line aligned, it's four longword accesses
00:22:46preglowyeah, but stil...
00:23:07pondlifeThat will affect all codecs that use the MALLOC_BUF I assume, not just vorbis?
00:23:19preglowdepends how optimised they are
00:23:36jhMikeSI just align the start address...it's size is already aligned
00:23:36preglowi don't think gcc ever uses movem for regular accesses

00:25:46linuxstbBut the codec_malloc() function only aligns to 32-bits, so the affected buffer was the first one to be malloc'ed? (or am I missing something?)

00:27:57preglowjhMikeS: you mean for the encoded data?
00:28:06linuxstbI guess all mallocs are likely to be a round (binary) number of bytes anyway...
00:29:40jhMikeSpreglow: yes, but no codec should depend on that...yet. I guess such an optimization could be introduced into a new buffer scheme.
00:29:52preglowjhMikeS: shouldn't matter, it's mostly read on a byte by byte basis
00:30:20jhMikeSvorbis does a lot of movem.l with four regs
00:31:28pregloweven from the source buffer?
00:31:34preglowwould surprise me somewhat

00:31:50jhMikeSno...the malloc buf I think
00:32:23jhMikeSIt must or this wouldn't help

00:35:19jhMikeSright, seems to be irrelenvant but longword alignment does seem to...only mildly though

01:53:57Stalwartbefore i used build of 4th march
01:54:37BigMachmm
01:55:02roolkuokay: I can't recreate the problem on h120 with any voice file. gigabeat before your commit didn't play when the new (bigger) voice file was in place, but it did with the old (smaller) one. Now it plays with either voice file.
01:55:13roolkuI thinkI will consider it fixed. :) Cheers

02:14:59jhMikeSwhen I use the font I normally use, I don't get scroller out of place.
02:16:30jhMikeSprobably some kind of x % m problem
02:21:17roolkujhMikeS: yes, could be possible that only fonts with heights greater than 2x sysfont height are affected
02:21:58jhMikeSnot greater cause I have one that is greater and not affected, but it's not an even multiple either

02:34:38roolkujhMikeS: but now it has the same bug, but the scroller is sysfont height below the line

03:45:08Snufkinoh, it's more than that. the video was way behind the audio
03:45:31omega21Hi there, I had rockbox on my iPod Video (5th gen) and the battery life was horrible compared to Apple's firmware. Has that improved at all over the last 3 months or so?
03:45:41decayedcellthats an mpegplayer problem. If the video and audio are synced then its not the mpg's fault. mpegplayer doesn't sync video and audio properly yet
03:45:52*jhMikeS can't find a single instance of mac.w or mac.l in the mpegplayer
03:45:55decayedcellomega21 yes but only by an hour or two I believe
03:46:01omega21okay
03:46:04omega21also
03:46:24jhMikeSno wonder it's a pig
03:46:29omega21I would leave my iPod plugged in and when it fully charged, it would reboot. is that normal?
03:46:37Snufkinthe audio keeps gaining on the video. it's like the video is twice slower
03:46:41omega21(only in rockbox)
03:47:02decayedcellomega21 plugged into the AC adapter or computer?
03:47:10omega21it was an AC adapter.
03:47:20decayedcellthis issue has been fixed now, you used to have to hold Menu to plugin to the AC adapter
03:47:27Snufkini'm trying to specify fps=25 for vlc. maybe it will help
03:47:28omega21oh
03:47:31omega21i always did
03:47:39omega21but when the battery reached 100% it would still reboot
03:48:16decayedcellomega21 so you're saying that when the battery charged up to 100% it would automatically reboot? Weird I've never had that problem before, and I just charged to 100% yesterday with Rockbox + AC adapter
03:48:41omega21hmm
03:48:52omega21maybe it was a different version or something
03:49:00omega21but yes
03:49:03SnufkinIs turning off the unit intentionally disabled while charging?
03:49:06omega21that was exactly what happened
03:49:23omega21like
03:49:30decayedcellRockbox updates just about everyday, theres a good chance that it is fixed now. I suggest you download one of the daily builds and see if you have the same problem
03:49:37omega21ill try that
03:49:45omega21thanks for the help everyone
03:49:48omega21all the best.

03:56:23decayedcellwell there you go Snufkin
03:56:33decayedcellthat would be NTSC content I think
03:56:53decayedcellyou'll need something like DGIndex to convert it from 23.976 to 30 or 25 first

04:21:51Lloreanlachlan1224: Threads can be put on the coprocessor, and will run there
04:22:16lachlan1224are the increases in performance significant?
04:22:48LloreanNoticeable, but they don't seem to be as significant as they should be, it's suspected that something is still getting in the way.

04:25:12lachlan1224hmm, thats a shame
04:25:44LloreanWell the expectation would've been, if anything, that battery life might've gotten worse.
04:25:51LloreanSince we'd have even more hardware active.

04:28:19lachlan1224but wasn the second processor running anyway before the patch?
04:29:24LloreanWe thought it wasn't, but since the battery life didn't change in a statistically significant manner, that suggests it was.
04:29:46JdGordonanyone know why there is a seperate scroll thread function in each lcd-*.c file instead of 1 sroll.c ?
04:29:53Colt^onLinuxGeneral question, not in your faq... i want to get a new flash based player to run rockbox, which one runs it best/ is the best?
04:30:21LloreanColt^onLinux: The only good one so far is a hardware codec target, any of the supported Ondios.
04:31:14Colt^onLinux hardware codec target?
04:31:21JdGordonColt^onLinux: if you can get a gen 1 nano then thats pretty good.. or the sansa if you can wait till sound works
04:31:51JdGordonunless battery life is really important (gen1 nano gets about 9.5 hours atm)
04:32:10LloreanJdGordon: Less than that, for me. I'd say closer to 7.5ish
04:32:23LloreanBut mine's about a year old, I guess.
04:32:25Colt^onLinuxthats pretty decent, enough for a day of tunes
04:32:38JdGordonexactly.
04:32:40LloreanColt^onLinux: Hardware Codec meaning "Only plays MP3 because decoding is handled by a piece of hardware"
04:33:59 Quit mirak (Remote closed the connection)
04:34:12Colt^onLinuxso the Ondios are different because of that?
04:34:24JdGordonyes
04:35:01JdGordonwhich also means they dont have anywhere near as good codec support as the newer targets
04:35:33cmptrgy412HOw is sound coming on the sansa btw?
04:35:59Colt^onLinuxso they decode mp3 by hardware only wheras others use software?
04:36:04SoapI think it is taking the red-eye from Cleveland into Chicago.
04:36:10Colt^onLinuxi thought they all had mp3 decoder chips n stuff
04:36:14LloreanNo.
04:36:24DaggyDuni read mention of a fading lcd in the sansa forums. How do i go about doing this?
04:36:27JdGordoncmptrgy412: last i read in the logs was we have distored noise in one ear?
04:36:35LloreanMost of the players just have microprocessors and use software codecs to decode various formats.
04:36:52LloreanJdGordon: I believe it's up to 'no distortion' now, actually
04:36:54Colt^onLinuxoh i see.
04:36:56cmptrgy412I just looked at the log. apparently the fixed that
04:36:58cmptrgy412yeah
04:36:59JdGordonoh awesome :)
04:37:16JdGordonstill one ear? or both?

05:06:58LloreanInsectoid: What exactly do you mean by 'it sticks' and what happens if you manually reboot into disk omde, and then plug in the USB cable?
05:08:07InsectoidI just did that, booted it, waited for it to get to the file explorer. Once it was up, I plugged it in, windows recognized it, so I tried to go to the drive so I could cut all the data off prior to formatting it and repatching it.
05:08:45InsectoidIt stuck when I went h: then ls at shell but the autoplay dialog just came up so let's see.
05:08:55Soapbooting rockbox is not the same as putting it into Apple's Disk Mode.
05:09:07InsectoidOh didn't see your disk mode bit

05:15:16Soap30 or 60 GB?
05:15:33InsectoidI have some theories as to why it's not working including Mojopack and Rockbox disagreeing over something... Thirty.
05:16:19SoapRockbox has nothing to do with your computer's USB disk interaction with an iPod, that is entirely Apple OS.

05:17:18InsectoidNo. I'll do that as soon as I check one other thing

05:17:53InsectoidOk so we see it with ipodpatcher −−scan
05:18:09Soapwhat does that have to do with anything? Nothing.
05:18:40Soaptake that back - that has something to do with it...
05:18:54InsectoidWell, I was thinking that perhaps I broke something hardwareish like this cable or the thrice-repaired USB ports on the laptop
05:19:16LloreanThat's entirely possible.

05:20:05LloreanMost iPod USB problems reported to us turn out to be unreliable cables, or computers that either have bad ports, software issues, or otherwise.
05:20:49InsectoidAh H: is responding now how kind of it
05:21:08LloreanRockbox doesn't actually have a USB mode, it just kicks you into one of the ones Apple provides. The only problem Rockbox can cause is if your computer's USB systems hang up while waiting for the iPod to restart into the Disk Mode.
05:23:17InsectoidAnother question, earlier I happened to glance in here and heard something about coprocessor support −− does that take the place of the CoP8 patch?

05:56:18 Quit rotator ()
05:59:17Soapthat is going to take considerably longer.
06:00
06:00:08SoapIf it is a huge deal, you can eBay a 2nd generation Nano for what a 1st generation one costs (refurbished = better than new IMHO) from the Apple store.
06:01:33lachlanwhy wuld a refurbished be better than new?
06:01:36lachlanwould*
06:02:03Soap(unless we are talking the 8GB model which has no 1st generation equivelent.) (Though you could sell that for enough money to get a Mini 2g, a new battery, and a 8GB CF card) (or you could sell it for enough to get a new Sansa, which is small, flash, and will have audio sooner than the iPod 2nd gen)
06:02:29SoapRefurbushed = better than new because it was tested better than the average product to come off the assembly line.
06:02:53lachlanbut ti comes with a shorter warranty?
06:03:05jbwanI contemplated ebaying my 60 GB video and snagging a Sansa until I found Rockbox
06:03:20Soapif it does, does it have a shorter warranty than what you have left on the 2nd gen?
06:03:21jbwandon't get me started on warranty
06:03:48LloreanAlso, Rockbox very likely voids the warranty anyway.
06:03:57jbwanApple doesn't honor the warranty anyway. I've been run around the bush about 12 times over 6 months
06:04:13SoapApple is pretty tight with their warranty anyhoo. I've heard great things about Best Buy's extended warranty, though.

06:04:49Lloreanjbwan: You've still voided the warranty, you'd just be lying to them about it at that point.
06:04:51jbwanI'm sure if you fry the device it's null and void :)
06:05:30LloreanInstalling Rockbox is actually safer than updating the Apple firmware.
06:05:34jbwanwhat I do with the device after I purchase it is my business unless I'm physically damaging it intentionally and try to get a new one
06:05:42jbwanagreed
06:05:52Lloreanjbwan: Yes, but they aren't require to provide ANY service on the device after you buy it.
06:06:13SoapRockbox only gets 1/2 the battery life of stock. How do you know that isn't harming hardware? How do they?
06:06:17jbwandon't I know it..even with their purchased extended warranty
06:06:18LloreanThe warranty explicitly states terms under which they'll service it, and if you exercise your right to do whatever you want with it, and break those terms, then you've exercised your right to say "I no longer need your service"
06:06:30SoapIt definately is adding wear-and-tear to the battery.
06:06:40jbwanwell I definately have now....
06:07:03jbwanand I do have doubt about the fact I'll ever buy another Apple device in particular

07:30:08amiconnx5
07:30:41jhMikeSyou have a battery bench right?
07:30:59amiconnI'm doing this mainly because both the curve and the estimation are way off

07:32:34aliaskmitch04: I don't think anybody has really started anything much yet
07:32:36jhMikeSI have a good run for an x5l though from someone. The two batteries need different treatment I think.
07:32:45mitch04oh k
07:32:55amiconnjhMikeS: Getting which info? Some battery benches will tell us all we need to know
07:33:40amiconnjhMikeS: Afaik it's impossible to tell x5/x5l and m5/m5l apart in firmware
07:34:08jhMikeSwell...till we can, could have two curves available
07:34:28jhMikeSThat's why I wanted to see if reading the serial chip would tell that
07:34:38amiconnAnd I doubt we need 2 curves
07:34:39JdGordonamiconn: you know the scroll code right? is the scroll thread code the same for all bmp displays?
07:35:09jhMikeSThe L battery stays near the charge voltage quite a bit longer
07:35:11amiconnI think that we should even be able to use the same curve for all LiPo targets
07:35:42 Quit mitch04 (Client Quit)
07:36:11jhMikeSit doesn't have the steeper initial curve
07:36:37amiconnThat'd make 4 curves in total (not counting scaled ones for multiple cells in series): NiMH (player,v1,Ondio), alkaline (Ondio), LiIon (fm/v2), LiPo (all newer)
07:37:21amiconnJdGordon: Atm it is, but that will probably change
07:37:32JdGordonoh? why?
07:37:37jhMikeSwould be nice that way but I think x5l will show 100% for way too long with the same curve as non-L. It's very flat all the way to 3.55V or so.

07:43:25JdGordonmidkay: ??
07:44:06JdGordonapart from being a bit out of date, I think FS4817 should be commited
07:44:15JdGordonso we can fix a new scroll bug

07:45:09*amiconn doesn't know about a new scroll bug
07:45:22jhMikeSthere is one
07:45:30JdGordonmidkay: hmm.. yeah, sorry, i got lazy because of the auto linking :)
07:45:34amiconnJdGordon: I wanted to unify the common lcd code of all drivers, not only bitmap
07:45:38JdGordonamiconn: use a large font and scroll in the list
07:45:49amiconnBut that first requires factoring the charcell driver
07:46:01jhMikeSJust use the system font
07:46:02amiconn...which I am planning to do
07:46:09JdGordonuntill then, would unifiyng all the scrolling code into 1 file be worthwile?
07:46:13midkayJdGordon: haha, the auto linking helps a *lot*.. it's almost not worth mentioning to you. but every time i see it happen like once a week it bugs me a teeny bit more. :D
07:46:24JdGordonhehe ok
07:46:57LloreanYeah, just one shortish line like "Clears up stop not backing up in filetree on iRiver remotes" would be nice.
07:47:28JdGordonbut with a really short msg we can move onto the next bug so much quicker :p
07:47:36amiconnJdGordon: I don't see a problem when scrolling a list with a large font...
07:47:39midkayright, that's what i mean. something short like the flyspray entry title.
07:47:40midkayJdGordon: haha.
07:47:53Lloreanamiconn: Not list scrolling. When a line scrolls
07:48:09jhMikeSsystem font will do too :)
07:48:10Lloreanamiconn: For some reason the scrolling text is not aligned with the original text, it's a bit above it in some circumstances.
07:48:12amiconnNo problem either...

07:48:40amiconnhuh?
07:48:42 Quit safetydan ("Ex-Chat")
07:48:44JdGordonthe problem is the y value isnt stored for the scroll line
07:48:50amiconnI've never seen this on any of my targets...
07:48:51jhMikeSstatus bar on as well
07:49:01amiconnI always have the status bar enabled
07:49:28JdGordonit was introduced last night... the problem is the list drawing code rightly sets the margin back to the old margin after finishing, but the scroll code assumes the margin hasnt changed
07:49:32jhMikeSh120 does it np
07:49:56*JdGordon wants to overhaul the scroll code to scroll both directions, and on any x,y pixel
07:49:56***Alert Mode OFF
07:50:05JdGordonand of course, the scrolling margins
07:50:07amiconnOne step after the other...
07:50:20jhMikeSwhy not have a global_status of the available screen area?
07:50:21JdGordonfirst step is unify the scroll thread
07:50:42JdGordonjhMikeS: the button bar does this correctly, but te status bar doesnt.. which is wierd
07:50:52*amiconn thinks that he could already have done viewports if he wouldn't get demotivated all the time
07:51:00JdGordonhaha :(
07:51:09amiconnNo, really
07:51:26JdGordonmotivation... ill forfiet my commit access if viewports goes in... that should motivate you :D
07:51:28amiconnWhy does the list code reset the margins, btw?
07:51:33jhMikeSwho's responsible for painting the invalidated screen areas? we need drawing message and rectangles now
07:51:38JdGordonbecause it changes them.. which it should
07:51:44amiconnjhMikeS: urrrrrgh
07:52:04amiconnJdGordon: It should change them back when it leaves, not earlier
07:52:23amiconnThat problem also exist in another place
07:52:33JdGordonnot really.... it should all be handled in the drawing funciton... not later
07:52:41amiconn...when the quickscreen resets the font immediately after drawing
07:52:52jhMikeSnot like I want to save the covered screen area in ram
07:53:04amiconnIf one of the option string then needs to scroll, it changes font, looking really weird
07:53:40amiconnThis is because the scrolling is line based
07:54:42JdGordonas apposed to?
07:54:46amiconnWith viewports, scrolling lines will inherit the current viewport, properly storing things like font, colour etc
07:55:09 Part smably
07:55:19amiconnI'd rather not want hackish incomplete parameter storing in
07:58:15 Part toffe82
07:58:37jhMikeSAre there any major delays when the wolfson codecs are initialized? I poked around and didn't find any but could have missed something.
08:00
08:07:39amiconnJdGordon: With the current scroll code, the rule is that you must not change font, margins, and colours as long as there are scrolling lines on the screen
08:08:27amiconnThis cannot be changed in a straightforward way, as the code is line based, and those lines depend on font height and margins
08:09:30amiconnThere's also a limitation to a maximum of 32 scrolling lines on large lcds, because it uses bits in an int to store whether a line is scrolling
08:10:48jhMikeShrm...the owner of the scroller should store that info
08:11:10amiconnThere is no 'owner'
08:11:15jhMikeS:)
08:11:25amiconn...and there won't be either with viewports
08:11:55amiconnThe viewport based code won't have this problem, and I hope to introduce a nice optimisation for the G5 as well
08:12:11amiconn...even though I don't have a G5
08:14:33amiconnBut that will require me to actually work on viewports, instead of arguing about weird ideas, and fixing esoteric features nobody seems to care about making them work *properly*
08:14:56aliaskPerhaps if you had the time to document the viewports someone might pick up the project
08:15:23aliaskUnless documenting it will be harder than writing it... :P
08:15:35amiconnDocumenting will probably take more time than implementing
08:15:53aliaskDamn.
08:15:57amiconnJdGordon: There will be more unified lcd code than just the scrolling
08:16:33jhMikeSwhat sort of method for redrawing uncovered bits? invalid areas or saving the bits? can't think of a third option atm if there is one.
08:17:21amiconnI hope to also make it easier to keep charcell code in, by making a number of bitmap lcd functions also available on charcell, in a way that they can be used the same way wherever possible

08:21:48khalsaHey guys, how to make rockbox use playlists larger than 20k ?
08:23:23JdGordonamiconn: sure, but unifying the scroll code would be a good start wouldnt it... seems out of place int he lcd code imo
08:23:48*JdGordon will revert the commit and do it in the naughty-but-working place
08:24:01midkay"do it in the naughty-but-working place" - oh dear!
08:24:11amiconnJust unifying the scroll code wouldn't fix the problem
08:24:35amiconnAnd fixing the problem in the scroll code will be rather difficult
08:24:40JdGordonno, but it would make it easier.... why doesnt the scroll line store the y value when its setup?
08:24:47JdGordonno it wont...
08:24:52amiconnBecause it's line based, as I said
08:25:24amiconnThe scroll code just works on the same grid of lines that lcd_puts() uses
08:25:50amiconnChanging margins or font will change that grid
08:26:28amiconnChanging the font will not only change the position of the scrolling line, but also the font within that line
08:26:42amiconn...immediately
08:26:50JdGordonthis sounds backwards to me.... the y should be stored when the scroll line is set
08:26:54JdGordonjust like the x val
08:27:11amiconnHmm, maybe I was unclear
08:27:26amiconnStoring the x is also a hack
08:27:58amiconnThere is a whole set of parameters that needs to be stored if don't want to keep the current approach
08:28:47amiconnBut I'd rather want this in a clean way
08:28:57JdGordonclean is always good
08:29:04amiconnStoring the y will mix up the lines
08:29:12amiconnStoring the x didn't
08:29:52JdGordonso the big problem is changin the font? why not make the font loader call a scroll_init() or something to adjust the y values?
08:30:01JdGordondropping any lines which dont fit anymore?

09:14:57midkaywhat?
09:14:59JdGordonalso, how can something have a severity of critical but not be very high priority?
09:15:12midkayi didn't change that... i set it to 0% complete.
09:15:17midkayor did it get changed anyways?
09:15:18JdGordonoh... woops :p
09:15:29midkaythere.. :)
09:15:35JdGordoni dunnno, i didnt notice the severity before
09:16:07midkayi think it was brighter red like high or critical.. can't remember.
09:16:34LloreanIf you modify one with no severity set, and you have the power to change severity, it defaults to critical unfortunately
09:19:10midkayupgrade flyspray!
09:19:31midkayi wish there were more bug/etc trackers out there. flyspray seems a little limited to me.

09:22:01LloreanWell, I can't think of very much of anything I'd consider 'really nice' :-P
09:22:26midkayexactly - thus my statement about the lack of bug/etc trackers out there. :)
09:22:53midkaythere's sourceforge which we had.. ugh.. flyspray.. bugzilla? seems way complicated... can't think of anything else. there isn't much else.

09:23:20LloreanWell another thing is if you get more powerful, you get more complicated, and then you frighten off even more reporters.
09:24:08midkayi don't necessarily mean powerful. i mean flyspray even lacks some simple things. like you click on a username and you get a blank page.. i'd expect to see some information, maybe some contact information, and definitely their recently-submitted items etc..
09:24:16scorchethere is also trac, but meh
09:24:22Lloreanmidkay: I actually think that's a bug
09:24:33midkaysearching seems very limited and finicky.
09:25:48midkaythe whole severity/priority thing is maybe a little overcomplicated.. i think all the filing options overall come off as complicated yet not very powerful to me.
09:26:10LloreanI think severity/priority is a bit confusing, but also meaningful.
09:26:24LloreanSeverity is a rating of how much it affects users, while priority is a rating of how important fixing it is.
09:26:54midkaysome sort of priority setting is of course important. and i can see the difference between them if i think about it. but i can't see many cases that they'd be far apart either.
09:27:02midkayoh, this bug erases the user's hard disk, but it's at the bottom of the to-do list?
09:27:27midkayor this is a tiny rare unimportant cosmetic glitch with the quickscreen display but it's an immediate to-do?
09:27:28LloreanHow about if someone posted a metadata on buffer patch?
09:27:37midkaymeaning?
09:27:49JdGordonLlorean: he would be corwned king
09:27:50LloreanI'd say that's a very high priority, but being that it's a patch that doesn't even change the user-visible functionality, the severity is basically nil
09:27:52JdGordoncrowned*
09:28:08midkayLlorean: i don't think "severity" applies to patches.. just bugs. :)
09:28:28JdGordonand priority for requests??? wtf?
09:28:36JdGordonor severity for that matter
09:28:41LloreanJdGordon: They can't set them, though.
09:28:55JdGordonoh? was that changed? I thought they could
09:29:00midkayi think one "priority" setting would do it.. low/normal/high/critical. and for patches this means how important it is, like metadata on buffer = high. nice to have. bugs, it's how critical it is.. feature requests? i guess higher = stuff we should do sooner.
09:29:24midkaylike, severity is good for bugs only. and priority is good for patches. if they were combined..

10:52:44JdGordonanyone not like the idea of setting a root folder for the database to start scanning in?
10:53:04JdGordonso instead of / and getting the whole disk, start at /music or anythng the user wants?
10:53:17rp-strike, stereo with good quality sound on the sansa
10:54:10JdGordondoes that mean you got it? or not yet?
10:54:53Bagderrp-: yay!
10:55:07rp-seems to work
10:56:03*Bagder watches documentary
10:56:33LloreanJdGordon: I'd like to see something similar to the folder advance plugin, that allows a user to mark folders as off limits for scanning.
10:57:19LloreanThough a single option to set which folder the music is in would mostly work.

10:58:21robin0800i agree that would be great
10:58:32LloreanI personally keep all my music in /Music but at the same time, there's music in there (my SIDs) that I wouldn't want indexed still.
10:59:02JdGordonLlorean: I was thinking that, and also for ppl who have podcasts and dont want them indexed
10:59:34JdGordonactually... we could possibly do both, but I dont know where to chane for the exclusion setting.. so ill leave it
10:59:41robin0800or any other files whether audio or not
11:00
11:00:13LloreanI think something like the folder advance plugin is definitely preferable to setting a single folder, because at least for me that means I'd have to split my music among two root music folders.
11:00:31LloreanSID, SPC, and NSF in one, and everything else in the other.

11:04:09Lloreanrobin0800: That statement doesn't make sense.

11:07:36LloreanBagder: That's what I said. They're handled in a similar way.
11:07:38JdGordonthat adds a root folder setting to the db... just hcecking if it looks correct
11:07:57LloreanJdGordon: Please don't commit a root menu setting for the db.
11:07:58SlasheriJdGordon: do ipod users agree too?
11:08:25LloreanJdGordon: I'd much rather see someone spend time working on doing it in a more flexible way that doesn't constrain how a user has to organize their files to be able to exclude some from the db.
11:08:27JdGordonLlorean: not a root menu setting...
11:08:36LloreanRoot folder. "menu" was a typo.
11:08:36robin0800I sure there usefull for some people but personnaly Ithink mainstream mp3 ogg flac perhaps with one other are enough
11:08:49Lloreanrobin0800: What would be gained?
11:09:05LloreanI think you don't understand what you're suggesting.

11:10:02JdGordongreat

11:10:31merbananjust a note about realaudio cook, there is a fixedpoint patch for it on ffmpeg-dev
11:11:04Lloreanrobin0800: What does that have to do with plugins. And "focus" is based entirely on what developers are interested in anyway.
11:11:10***Saving seen data "./dancer.seen"
11:11:24linuxstbJdGordon: I'm also against a quick hack. e.g. ipod users have their itunes files in iPod_Control, plus maybe a second "Music" folder for files they've transferred outside of itunes. I think other platforms work similarly.
11:11:42LloreanJdGordon: I honestly don't know. The problem is, forcing users to put all their databased music in a certain folder seems to be very, very, very restrictive.
11:11:43*JdGordon starting to be persuaded....
11:12:09LloreanAnd one of the major benefits of Rockbox is supposed to be the freedom to organize your music on disk however you want.
11:12:09robin0800but now were into realaudio as well enough enough please
11:12:09roolkuBagder: if you have some, could you add a build for the rtc mod (and change the 8Mb mod to use the (A)dvanced menu? )
11:12:09JdGordonso how do we do it? by folder or by filetype?
11:12:09*amiconn doesn't understand what that 'music root folder' should be good for
11:12:49linuxstbamiconn: To keep things tidy if you store other files on your player - I don't want my artists mixed in with images, datafiles, videos etc etc
11:12:54roolkuBagder: I have changed the configure script, so it works interactively, but it might need changing depending on how you pass parameters from the distributed build script
11:13:05amiconnlinuxstb: No, I mean the setting
11:13:06LloreanJdGordon: My personal preference is, as I've said, some means of excluding folders. Be that a folder list by plugin, or the option to drop files in a folder, like a text file that tells it "Don't scan this folder, or any deeper folders"
11:13:21amiconnOf course you can have a 'music' folder if you want (I don't)
11:13:30amiconnBut the database only includes music anyway
11:13:38JdGordonLlorean: a Dont_Index file would be easiest actually...
11:13:44Lloreanrobin0800: Please, try to write out complete sentences that explain what you're talking about.
11:13:52JdGordonbut would the users like that?
11:13:54LloreanJdGordon: I personally wouldn't object to that, though I'm not sure how others would feel.

11:27:29Llorean .dbdonotindex? Something that starts with a .
11:27:47linuxstbJust to annoy windows and Mac users...
11:27:53JdGordon.. yeah
11:27:56JdGordonthats why I didnt go .
11:28:11JdGordoncould check for both... slow it down even more...
11:28:13LloreanAh.
11:28:27LloreanI was thinking more along the lines of "so you don't end up seeing in in the filetree"
11:28:40JdGordona filename less than 11 chars would be better tho
11:28:46LloreanI would've just included the file in the /.rockbox/ folder, so someone can just copy it in Explorer and paste it all over the place (for windows users)
11:28:51LloreanSo there's no question of typos.
11:30:27JdGordonthe . file is annoying for linux users also, but at least they can create them...
11:30:46*linuxstb is a Linux user and isn't annoyed
11:30:56*JdGordon also
11:31:00JdGordontouch .file is simple
11:31:08JdGordonbut it can be annoying...
11:31:08LloreanIf you threw the file in /.rockbox/ it would mostly be a problem for OSX users.
11:31:09JdGordoni dunno :p
11:31:59LloreanAny filename though, I think the file should be included in /.rockbox/ so we can give easy instructions for setting it up (copy this file and paste it anywhere you don't want the indexing to go any further)
11:32:49JdGordonwell it works... so just pick a filename now...
11:33:09JdGordonBagder: I just add a touch "filename" to buildzip.pl to add it to the zip right?
11:33:44*linuxstb isn't convinced that this is the best approach to the problem though - it's too user unfriendly.

11:35:36LloreanIf you launch a playlist from the file browser, then browse the menus, then go to WPS, why did we choose to have it restore you to the menus when the playlist ends, rather than the file browser?

12:32:26aliaskUnless you can resize on player as some players do.

12:36:30Lloreanaliask: Don't the X-series have decreased battery life? How does that make them better than the F series?
12:36:39JdGordonmarkun: I tihnk there is a wiki page
12:36:45bluebrothernoticed an interesting behaviour on my mini regarding the main menu
12:36:52JdGordon:( shoot
12:37:09markuntHEk|AfK: why did you change your nick to have |AfK behind it? (just curious)
12:37:09bluebrotherif you press "Menu" in the main menu it toggles the settings entry
12:37:22bluebrotheri.e. it goes straight into that entry. Is that intended?
12:37:28decayedcellsounds like the old system?
12:37:28aliaskLlorean: Pretty sure they're almost identical internally. GigabeatRuntime seems to back this up too.
12:37:33markunJdGordon: yes, there is, but we need to add all our targets
12:37:34SirFunkdoes the X60 have a microphone in jack?
12:37:45Lloreanaliask: My understanding was that the screen drew more power.
12:37:49bluebrothermy h120 doesn't do that, but that build is a few days old. I'm just recompiling to see if that happens there as well
12:38:07SlasheriJdGordon: tagnavi.config is entirely parsed in tagtree.c, you should have a look there :)
12:38:07JdGordonbluebrother: im not sure... that doesnt sound so bad, so leave it...
12:38:10Lloreanaliask: The official runtime is listed as about 2 hours shorter, I believe, and the GigabeatRuntime is not useful for comparison since you can't know any of the battery conditions.
12:38:14SlasheriJdGordon: sorry but can't really say more
12:38:14markunLlorean, aliask: it's also possible that the X has a different battery
12:38:24JdGordonSlasheri: I did.. but got horribly lost :p
12:38:26JdGordondamn, ok
12:38:30Slasherihehe :D
12:38:52Slasherii get lost too ;) but you should search some already defined variable names
12:38:55JdGordonSlasheri: oh, to do a search, I just pass an empty tcs* to tagcache_search() with the tag im after?
12:38:56Slasheriand check how those are handled
12:39:00LloreanJdGordon: Differing behaviour across targets like that seems kinda bad. It sounds like a bug. :-P
12:39:09aliaskWell, I wouldn't be complaining really with 15 hours anyway. F series are bigger and uglier. I would prefer the X personally.
12:39:26SlasheriJdGordon: yes, exactly
12:39:33JdGordongreat
12:39:42Slasheritagcache_search() initializes the tcs structure
12:39:43JdGordonI'm really going to do random folder for the db now :p
12:39:54Slasherihehe, nice
12:40:16JdGordonbut I wanted to use tagnavi.config to give it some flexibility.. instead of adding heaps of settingd

12:49:41frafraI've read the guide for install rockbox nano: I've patched it, and I've copied .rockbox/ and rockbox.ipod on my ipod nano (fat32). When I reboot it, it shows me only the apple logo with backlight. The ipod firmware that I applied the patch was the lastest, 1.3. How to fix it?

12:55:25linuxstbIf it's freezing with the apple logo and backlight, then it looks like Rockbox itself has been started, but is freezing immediately (before it displays anything). I don't know what could cause that...
12:55:44linuxstbDo you know how to put it in disk mode?
12:55:50frafrasure
12:55:53amiconnSounds like old bootloader without cop support
12:56:26linuxstbAll the old bootloaders have been removed from the site though...
12:56:58linuxstbAnd if the bootloader isn't displaying any text, then it's the latest version anyway.

12:57:42bluebrotherlinuxstb, btw, any idea why I can't start the OF on my mini 2G anymore?
12:57:47linuxstbfrafra: Try resetting, and then immediately turning on the hold switch (as soon as you can). That should start the Apple firmware.
12:57:54bluebrothernot that it bothers me too much ...
12:58:35linuxstbbluebrother: Which bootloader did you install? Is it the version with no text?

13:00
13:00:08Lloreanlinuxstb: It seems that in some cases when the new bootloader doesn't find Rockbox.ipod, it doesn't do the lcd_update to display the text, at least one person had the problem of it freezing at the Apple Logo, and it turned out rockbox.ipod wasn't there.
13:00:31frafraRockbox: boot loader / Version: 1.0 / IPOD version: 0x000C0005 / SST55LD019K-45-C-MWE / No partition found / Press MENU+SELECT to reboot then SELECT+PLAY for disk mode / Hold switch on!

13:19:25bluebrotheris rolo-ing into apple_os supposed to work?
13:19:28JdGordonwill that affect only the ipods? or all targets?

15:53:39jhMikeSone question: is it working for you?
15:53:47rp-Bagder: i don't think we break DRM on the sansa, that ID is read only, and contains the serial number + some data about the manufacturing process
15:53:48amiconn(if I find enough time - want to take photos of course)
15:54:08Bagderrp-: yeah, that's my assumption as well
15:54:47Bagderamiconn: don't hold your breath for kjer being around anytime soon... or that he still remembers those things ;-)
15:55:11Bagderyou can of course try emailing him directly
15:55:14amiconnI know. What I am looking at is 4 years old code :/
15:55:29*amiconn wants to understand the rocklatin magic
15:55:51rp-they have hard opligations to get the drm certificate from microsoft, for example the RTC pins need to be under the chip, so none can manipulate it
15:55:54amiconnI think I understand the basics now

16:08:43tHEk|AfKDon't know
16:09:18madman_but technically it's possible?
16:09:33dan_a_madman_: If enough information is known about it, and if GCC can compile for the processor, and if enough people want to do it then it's possible
16:09:46markunmadman_: I think it's possible
16:09:54madman_thanks

16:12:24madman_too bad :P
16:12:42markunIf you are careful I don't see why you should lose the warranty

16:37:00Slasherithey are not. there are some serious issues atm
16:37:23Slasheriand i just fixed that now codec thread is really running on the cop
16:38:08Slasheribut now codec just jams and keeps its state blocked
16:38:58dan_a_That's odd... there were some tests done back in December, using counters which only incremented when they were run on a particular core, and by removing all yields from the codec thread, which seemed to show it was not running on the CPU

18:07:39linuxstbrp-: So what about future developers coming to the project?
18:07:58linuxstbOr existing Rockbox devs that may buy sansas now sound is arriving?
18:08:15rp-they said that they don't want the docs to be downloadable, and i asked if it's possible to give the docs atleast to some core developers, that i numbered to about 5 people working on the sansa port

18:10:53Ice8luestupid question, how old are u?
18:10:56dan_a_I think the problem is that the AS3514 is an 18 bit codec, not 16 bit

18:24:02linuxstbdan_a: No changes to i2s-pp.c ?
18:24:20DaggyDuncorrect please :)
18:24:55dan_a_linuxstb: Yes - the PP becomes the master, and we have to write a value to 0x70002808 to control the speed
18:25:03dan_a_But nothing major
18:25:16Ice8lueassembler :-~
18:25:59linuxstbWhat about the values in IISCONFIG ?
18:26:22*jhMikeS thinks meaningful number and flags will be history :P
18:26:42dan_a_Bit 25 controls master/slave
18:26:54dan_a_Apart from that it's the same as the other PPs
18:27:28linuxstbSo you didn't change SIZE_16BIT ?
18:27:53jhMikeSbut this leaves out comprehensive header files with meaningful defines? what are the limits...is it open source if it has to be obfuscated?
18:28:16dabyd64id like to know how is programming the pp5024, i mean how are the registers organised, memory, instructions, everithing lik ethat, just for personal interest, is any documentation tike that available? the datasheet is too simple
18:28:50dabyd64I just program Microchip MicroPic microcontrollers hahaha
18:28:56linuxstbdabyd64: The only documentation on the portalplayer chips is the Rockbox and ipodlinux source code, plus a few pages in the ipodlinux wiki.

18:35:33linuxstbAnd do we need AMS's permission before code is published?
18:35:37jhMikeSbut I guess dan_a_ gave the plan so that would of course have to include that
18:36:04jhMikeSso much for open source if you can't just publish what you "find out"
18:36:04dan_a_linuxstb: Good question. rp-: did they say anything about that?
18:36:09rp-linuxstb: no we don't need
18:36:48preglowjhMikeS: i do assume them to be documented even if not used, yes

18:37:18preglowat least it's a straightforward way to make sure future coders with no datasheets can do their jobs

18:37:30dan_a_jhMikeS: My initial commit won't have every value documented, but I will add those soon

18:43:32jhMikeSI actually had pondered writing a virus on a DAP...good thing they stopped me
18:46:00preglowopen source virus, haha
18:46:02jhMikeSso dsp.c and the pcm buffer need modification to output 18 bit audio?
18:46:27preglowoh well, i guess someone could distribute a virus that hacks mp3 files to something that crashes rockbox when played
18:46:53jhMikeSwas actually thinking about how to infect the host computer ;)
18:47:31preglowdan_a_: so you can't do single decibel steps, then?
18:47:35jhMikeSguess that comes from the old love of things that go boom
18:47:38Ice8luekinda trojan would be interesting^^
18:47:55dan_a_preglow: 1.5dB - which doesn't really fit with Rockbox
18:48:47preglowdan_a_: i have some code which does give volume, bass and treble the possibility to use 1.5 db steps
18:48:57dan_a_Cool
18:48:58preglowwritten for wm8975, which has bass and treble steps at 1.5 db
18:49:32jhMikeSyeah, but what about the 18bit codec which fits even worse?
18:49:47Kailashhow come the sansa isn't in teh daily build table
18:49:48preglowi was just assuming data is truncated to 16 bits
18:50:27preglowjhMikeS: anyway, you have the solution to that anyway, don't you? :>
18:50:35jhMikeSme too, but I guess provisions should be made
18:50:35dan_a_jhMikeS: Is it worth adding 18bit output? Sure, we lose a little dynamic range, but the source material isn't going to be 18 bit... or am I missing something?
18:50:37jhMikeSnot yet
18:50:44preglowdan_a_: it is
18:50:54preglowdan_a_: almost all our codecs generate data at above 16 bits
18:51:07dan_a_Ah
18:51:10preglowdan_a_: at least the ones that aren't lossless
18:51:31preglowdan_a_: as soon as something isn't lossless and you're basically resynthesizing the output, you can have as much precision you want
18:51:34preglowkinda pointless, but there you go
18:51:50preglowmpeg audio is 28 bits, for example
18:52:00jhMikeSwell, I guess if I reduce the pcm buffer to a simple queue, and process late in the game, that would be a simple
18:52:17linuxstbdan_a: So is your current driver definitely working correctly? i.e. can you tell if the DAC is using all 16-bits properly?
18:52:58Slasheridan_a_: disabling cache helped debugging a lot
18:53:00dan_a_linuxstb: There's no horrible noise, but it does sound a little muddy
18:53:36jhMikeSfunny, I know someone that just a few days ago only took his sansa out of the box that he got for Christmas. urgh
18:53:37dan_a_Slasheri: Excellent
18:53:52Slasherinow the codec is running properly and buffer fills but pcm output is not activated and nothing consumes the buffer
18:54:18linuxstbdan_a_: I could be wrong, but maybe you'll need to use all the i2s bits - e.g. send 4 18-bit samples packed into 3 24-bit words.
18:54:44linuxstbUnless the AS3514 can be configured to accept something other than 18-bit data on the i2s bus.
18:55:35jhMikeSI thought i2s had to
18:55:53jhMikeS16,18,20
18:56:36linuxstbDoes i2s have the concept of words, or is it just a stream of bits?
18:57:11dan_a_Damn, red build :(
18:57:28jhMikeSwords are marked by the LR clock
18:57:50Slasherihmm, probably pcm does not like to start when it's initialized from the COP
18:59:03jhMikeSFrom the looks of things I'd say all the audio playback and recording threads have to move
18:59:29jhMikeSpcmrec and codec have to go together for sure
18:59:30Slasherito move where?
18:59:44jhMikeSTo the same core
18:59:50Slasheriah, yes
18:59:58Slasherithat is what i have had in mind too

19:08:57dan_a_Slasheri: All the variables that are shared across cores will need to be in IRAM...
19:09:27Slasheridan_a_: because of performance issues?
19:09:59Slasheriwhat about NOCACHEBSS_ATTR?
19:10:07dan_a_Slasheri: Caching. IRAM isn't cached, where as DRAM is cached separately on each core.

20:00:50bluebrotheraudio support got commited today, don't expect it to be completely flawless atm
20:01:00Slasherihmm, but i think entire audio thread is too complex to be placed in the cop. Now ata and everything fails when two cores are trying to access the same resources

23:07:40timingToday i recorded a gig of my band with a condenser microphone, just with the iaudio firmware. however, after 15 minutes it stopped recording. so this is sucky. someone tried to restart the recording. but the 2nd session stopped after 10 minutes.
23:07:48timingSo, i want to try recording with rockbox
23:08:02timingi run rockbox already a while so that;s cool
23:08:13timingbut do some people have experience with recoring with rockbox here ?
23:08:50timingit just records to .wav files right?
23:09:01timingand what about the quality?
23:09:51timingI'm going to try it anyway, the next time we practice.
23:09:51amiconnYou can record to wav, aiff, wavpack, or mp3
23:09:55timinghmm
23:10:05timingmy encoding menu is empty :-)
23:10:10timingi guess it's not in the package i use
23:11:19timingI read charging with rockbox is not recommended. So i really need a fully charged battery when i'm going to record a gig i guess.

23:11:48scorche...where did you hear that?
23:11:52timingforum i guess
23:12:09scorchemost of the devices have the charging routines in hardware
23:12:29timinglike the dev's where not exactly sure if they filled the battery cells in the right way.
23:12:43timingbut i don't know how charging works, so i might sound stupid

23:14:56scorcheif charging could harm your device, it would only be in a patch for developers testing

23:40:47amiconnHmm, strange
23:41:15amiconnI just noticed because of the size reduction on sansa due to my latest commit
