00:01:04donvitohas there been any updates to mi4code to allow rhapsody signing yet?
00:01:20Bagdersigning?
00:01:25Bagderyou really want that?
00:01:36Bagderit requires a patched BL as well

00:04:15donvitoBagder: sorry, i guess thats what i meant, has there been any progress?
00:04:42Bagderwell, in what way doesn't it currently work then?
00:04:50BagderI didn't know anyone ever tried it
00:04:53aliaskBagder: Did we make it in time for the SoC?
00:05:22donvitoBagder: well, i have a e260r, dan_a and i were trying to get rockbox to boot on it one night, and the bootloader doesn't boot
00:05:34donvitoBagder: it gives the load main image failed..etc every time
00:05:48Bagderaliask: yes, I'm about to apply

00:06:12aliaskBagder: Great!
00:06:16Bagderdonvito: and you tried it without the "all plaintext" trick?

00:08:28donvitoBagder: http://download.rockbox.org/bootloader/sandisk-sansa/e200R/
00:08:39Bagderthat one has the "all plaintext" thing
00:08:46donvitoBagder: tryed signing it with rhapsody, dummy, both without success
00:08:49donvitoBagder: ok
00:09:16Bagderthe all plaintext means that it isn't encrypted at all
00:09:35Bagderwhile the original one is, only having the header part unencrypted
00:09:37donvitoBagder: right
00:11:07donvitoBagder: so would i want to try to encrypt the bootloader with the rhapsody key? because ive tryed it to no avail

00:12:58Bagderit would probably be better if you took the original mi4 file and tried your tricks on that
00:13:22BagderI mean, resigned it and re-encrypted it etc

00:13:39donvitoBagder: well, we concluded that signing the orig fw with the rhapsody key, using mi4code, does boot fine.
00:14:12Bagderyou mean encryption, not signing
00:14:27Bagderwe can't sign with any "original" signatures
00:14:30donvitoBagder: sorry :X
00:14:43donvitoBagder: i know, sorry, thats just me being hasty
00:14:58BagderI just want to be clear
00:15:04donvitoBagder: understood
00:15:24donvitoBagder: so what do you propose i do, to try to get rockbox to boot?
00:15:51 Quit zylche (Remote closed the connection)

00:16:51Bagderyes

00:21:41Bagderdonvito: you can take the original fw and just do 'mi4code sign mi4 newmi4 dummy'
00:21:53donvitoBagder: ok, will do
00:22:05Bagderit should only modify 160 bits x 2 in the mi4 header
00:22:18donvitoBagder: ok
00:22:35Lloreanscorche: You here?
00:22:53scorchei am
00:23:25LloreanSee my post in response to the guy in the Hardware forum that you were upset with, I think you'll find it a little more favorable when you see what the actual intent with a wiki page was.
00:23:35scorchealright
00:23:37LloreanThough, maybe not, I can't predict the future.
00:23:45scorchedid he PM you before posting it or something?
00:23:48LloreanYeah
00:23:54 Quit efyx (Remote closed the connection)
00:24:10LloreanWe talked about it a little in advance, he hadn't thought of a wiki page, and didn't really clarify on what I'd suggested to him in regard to one.
00:25:14Bagdermarkun and petur, PM me your gmail-address for the GSoC application
00:25:30donvitoBagder: ok, well now we know that it doesn't work anymore
00:25:50BagderI was afraid that was the case
00:26:05Bagderit means we need to step up a bit
00:26:35LloreanBagder: Do you think this might be something Sandisk may actually be willing to help with?
00:26:49Bagderno
00:27:04Bagderthis is a deliberate "fixing" of the loading process
00:27:09donvitoBagder: exaclty
00:27:14donvitoBagder: bastards :]

00:29:02Bagderpreglow: yes, there are some application notes saying it is possible to add more even after the initial application
00:29:49Bagderdonvito: well, the next step would be a bit risky...
00:29:59preglowat least we have a couple of worthwhile projects
00:30:06donvitoBagder: ok, what would it include?
00:30:11Bagderdonvito: and it would be to try to replace your BL
00:30:18donvitoBagder: i see...
00:30:24donvitoBagder: thats what i figured
00:30:26Bagderusing the one I have on the site
00:30:36donvitoBagder: link?
00:30:44Bagderbut you'd need to modify something in it to know that the new one is in place

00:32:56Bagderyeps
00:33:04donvitoBagder: ok, well what would i need to do, hex edit something?
00:33:35Bagderyes, figure out string that you can see, like the recovery mode string or something and patch it with a hex editor
00:33:49Bagderreplace a single letter or similar
00:34:03donvitoBagder: would that allow the dummy sig to work?
00:34:15 Join cmptrgy412 [0] (n=cmptrgy4@70.255.40.223)
00:34:26Bagderwell, the first step would only be to verify that we in fact can replace the BL this way

00:34:36donvitoBagder: ok
00:34:48donvitoBagder: can i do that in recovery mode?
00:35:11Bagderyes, supposedly
00:35:15*Llorean sometimes wants to tell people that skipped section 2.2.2 "Yes, your iPod is dead" just to be spiteful.
00:35:18*Llorean is a bad person.
00:35:43*scorche would rather tell them that their ipod is dead and to send it to me because i recycle them
00:35:51donvitoBagder: so just put the bl on the 16mb format and reboot /
00:35:53donvitoBagder: ?*
00:35:58Bagderyes

00:36:35donvitoBagder: haha
00:36:39donvitoBagder: i think ill try it
00:36:58donvitoBagder: would there be possibilities of unbricking, with e200 tool or something, in case
00:37:08Bagderhopefully, yes
00:37:34BagderI'm quite sure the e200tool can recover the BL
00:37:41Bagdereven on the R models
00:37:55donvitoBagder: ok, so just put the BL_SD_boardSupport.btl on the sansa or on the recovery drive?
00:37:55 Quit muesli__ ("ich will Kühe!!!")

00:38:23Bagderit works in both modes

00:38:29donvitoBagder: ill try it
00:38:34Bagderat least the "normal" e200 ones do
00:39:32donvitoBagder: /me is crossing fingers...
00:39:49linuxstbAre there any known differences between the e250/260/270/280 apart from size of the flash?
00:40:01Bagderno
00:40:21donvitoBagder: ..umm ok heres what happened... it said upgrading fw, then went back the the menu, but if i try to do anything the "locked" icon shows up..
00:40:22Bagderlinuxstb: only US/euro models having or not having the radio chip
00:40:44dan_a_donvito: Have you tried turning locked on and off?
00:40:45donvitoBagder: nvm now it works, but it didnt reboot itself, should i reboot?
00:41:06Bagderdonvito: did you hexedit it?
00:41:20donvitoBagder: no this was just plain, just to see if it worked
00:41:25Bagderah, ok
00:41:41donvitoBagder: reboot?
00:41:44Bagderyeah, you should probably reboot an extra time just to make sure it still boots
00:41:54donvitoBagder: k
00:42:11donvitoBagder: boots just fine :]
00:42:29Bagderok, fine.
00:42:42Bagderthen you need to make sure this actually upgrades to the new BL
00:43:01donvitoBagder: ok..
00:43:18donvitoBagder: how?
00:43:22donvitoBagder: im sorry
00:43:25donvitoBagder: haha
00:44:01Bagderthere's a string saying "Welcome to Recovery Mode" in the BL image
00:44:24Bagderchange a letter in that string to something else
00:44:34donvitoBagder: really? thats it??
00:44:43donvitoBagder: ooooo
00:44:50donvitoBagder: ic what you mean, to test it
00:44:55Bagderyes, well that's just an easy way to detect that your new BL is the one that runs
00:45:03donvitoBagder: roger that, very clever
00:45:06donvitoBagder: ok ill do that
00:45:29preglowdan_a_: pp5024 sound chip doesn't have treble/bass?
00:45:43Bagderpreglow: nope, doesn't look like it
00:45:53preglowjust had a look at the config, yeah
00:45:56preglowthere aren't
00:46:07preglowthere's still the 1.5 db volume increment problem
00:46:19preglowi've got the patch to fix it to be possible, but i wonder how to handle it in wps
00:46:21jhMikeSpreglow: then your efforts were well timed, no doubt
00:46:39preglowassume there's room for a ".x" as well?
00:46:42nlspreglow: force 3db steps :-P
00:46:43preglowor just trunc
00:46:47preglownls: hah
00:47:18preglowjhMikeS: i wish there was a good solution to the bloody eq shifter wrap problem :///
00:47:19preglowit's driving me nuts
00:47:24jhMikeShrph
00:47:57jhMikeSthe shame is there's not without both int and frac modes even for emac
00:48:00preglowperhaps i should just go for the easy route and add another couple of int bits in the output format :/
00:48:09donvitoBagder: ok trying now...
00:48:11jhMikeSyou don't think one more is enough?
00:48:21*Bagder holds his breath
00:48:26preglowjhMikeS: well, we could scale the freq coefs to not require shifting, but then we'd need another emac based gain another place too, which would mean slowdown
00:48:30*donvito does the same
00:48:40preglowjhMikeS: s/freq/eq/
00:49:07jhMikeSor just limit the dsp bits down couple in general ?
00:49:23donvitoBagder: hmm well it didnt upgrade it
00:49:32donvitoBagder: would i maybe need to do it in recovery mode
00:49:35jhMikeScould it have come about when shoving it up to 28?
00:49:59preglowjhMikeS: yeah, and that'll apply for all platforms too
00:50:12jhMikeSit's not like 26 is gonna make for crummy sound :)
00:50:16preglowheh
00:50:18preglowno
00:50:24preglowbut 27 might be enough too
00:50:43 Quit ender` (" To err is human; to really foul things up takes a computer.")
00:50:49preglow24 db gain = a bit less than 16x gain, afaik
00:50:51jhMikeShave you actually tested that an overflow occurs in the shifter?
00:50:56preglowwhich means four int bits should suffice
00:51:03preglowjhMikeS: there is no other explanation
00:51:08preglownot that i can think of
00:51:44jhMikeSI'd still just trap if to see if it _actually_ happens before changin everything around ...
00:51:58preglowi will once i can be bothered to deal with it anyway

00:53:20preglowyeah, it's _JUST_ enough

01:09:37vertzJdGordon: sure
01:09:47*JdGordon put a scroll accel patch on last night that needs testing
01:10:10vertzreally?

01:58:18jhMikeSif button-clickwheel.c is the one used it looks to me like it'll stuff both the button queue and backlight queue with messages
01:58:46linuxstbI thought it checked the button queue, and only added more button events if the queue was empty?
01:58:48JdGordonbugger... that means its either a keymap problem, or a sucky ipod button driver :p

01:59:20jhMikeSbut it calls backlight_on too all the time

02:17:42DaggyDundid some coding, now i hav to wait ten minutes before i can figured out if it will work :'(
02:18:27linuxstbjhMikeS: There's still mirak's old patch with Coldfire improvements to mpegplayer on flyspray that needs reviewing and cleaning up. Optimising the IRAM usage would seem to give significant gains, but now that libmad is linked with mpegplayer, there's big competition for IRAM...
02:18:58linuxstbDaggyDun: If I was you, I would just reduce the buffer size mpegplayer is using.
02:19:07ryanpgin fact I'm searching through section 4.4 Working with Playlists now
02:19:40Lloreanryanpg: That doesn't answer the question I asked you. Did you use a search function of a PDF viewer. It sounds like you're searching by eye, which means you can overlook things.
02:19:53jhMikeSI'm thinking for cf if the data is alignent a movem used, the difference will be negligeable. Burst transfers or parallel loads on colfire compete pretty well with it.
02:20:10Lloreanryanpg: I assure you, I am 100% certain that it is in the manual, and I am 100% certain that opening the manual PDF in a PDF viewer and searching for the word queue will give you a useful result.

02:24:11*jhMikeS can't remember what does what now
02:24:19linuxstbDaggyDun: An easy way would be to increase the amount of memory allocated to libmpeg2 for its internal use - change the "2" in the line "#define LIBMPEG2BUFFER_SIZE (2*1024*1024)" to something like 20 - that will give 18MB more space to libmpeg2 (which it won't use), leaving a lot less for mpegplayer to use as a buffer.
02:25:16linuxstbjhMikeS: There are currently three threads - one for video, one for audio, and one (the main thread) which is intended to be for rebuffering. On PP targets, the video thread is on the COP, and audio on the main CPU.
02:25:52linuxstbAudio couldn't be run on the main thread, as the stack was too small - libmad is optimised to use all of its available stack (the codec stack is in IRAM).
02:25:55jhMikeSall stacks are IRAM?
02:26:19linuxstbYes.
02:26:49linuxstb9KB for audio, 4KB for video.
02:27:35linuxstbSomething that could be useful would be to steal the core codec thread's stack for use in mpegplayer - that's 9KB of IRAM currently unused whilst mpegplayer is running.
02:27:40jhMikeSBut we have huge amounts of main stack in IRAM on cf...very handy for working buffers

02:28:39linuxstbI also allocate a 4608 byte buffer for libmad on the main stack, so it's not completely unused.

02:29:31jhMikeSI'm just thinking the arrangement could change per target...whatever is best for it
02:30:29linuxstbYes, it could. I've also thought about simplifying it to two threads, and interleave disk reading with audio decoding - as long as the PCM buffer never empties.

03:23:29LloreanSoap: Probably wasting effort. Doesn't work on my Nano, didn't work on someone else's 5G. I think it was decided it's because of how Rockbox prevents the scrollwheel from filling up the button queue.
03:26:06SoapAfter 4 days playing with the Gigabeat, I have come to the conclusion that Portrait mode makes for a more-efficient usage of screen real estate, and that the iPod scroll wheel beats the cross pad for navigation. IMHO.
03:26:27LloreanSoap: I love the pad for navigation personally, but that's because I like buttons.
03:26:48LloreanI'm not a fan of having to move my finger constantly while scrolling through a list or adjusting volume.
03:26:58jhMikeSLlorean: I'm thinking some problem come from the fact that backlight_on is called in a completely unfilter manner and just blasts the backlight queue with messages. Maybe you saw already :P

03:38:17LloreanAh
03:41:07jhMikeSIs popping the bl once for a few seconds every 3-5 minutes gonna really kill the batter _that_ badly?
03:42:37LloreanKeeping the backlight on for like, 20 seconds every song hurts it a lot for the iPods.
03:43:11LloreanThat's what the example that comes most to mind was, a 10 second caption backlight set, so 20 seconds total per song of backlight time.
03:43:22jhMikeSah...I've run my x5 (when the battery was ok) with backlight on almost continously on 5-6 hr road trips and harly been drained at all (not an L either).

04:01:37jhMikeSYeah, the archos models share different one it looks like
04:02:12SoapMP3 = ~50% boost = 2.5x 4 minute songs =15 songs per hour = 150 seconds per hour of backlight = 225 seconds of equivelent power draw per hour.
04:02:22SoapNot bad, every hour costs you 64 minutes.

04:02:56Soap*seconds of _additional_ equivelent power draw
04:03:07Soap(due to caption backlight)
04:03:35LloreanSoap: 8 minutes in the case I was talking of, since a 10 second caption actually means 20 seconds of backlight per song.
04:03:47jhMikeSNot likely backlights will get more efficient either
04:03:49Soapahh - even worse
04:03:56LloreanSoap: Which costs you about an hour to an hour and a half of total battery time on the Nano.
04:03:59Soap13% wastage
04:04:15Soapnow we're talking real money.
04:04:22LloreanEnough to really ruin a battery bench
04:04:47jhMikeSIF you can do PWM fading how could brightness not be an option? <= odd
04:05:04Soapthere is a brightness patch.
04:05:43SoapIs there any reason to be concerned for the backlight's longevity switching it on and off so fast?
04:06:19jhMikeSSince perceived brighness is logarithmic, you could save mounds of backlight mAhs without a serious dimming
04:06:51jhMikeSIt's not hardware PWM?
04:06:59LloreanI think it's hardware.
04:07:16LloreanThe 1GB Nanos actually have a dimmed backlight in the stock firmware.
04:07:18SoapI thought I had read that varied by target.

04:09:03jhMikeSBut dimming an EL panel will extend the life
04:09:21LloreanOddly enough, I think the 1GB Nanos just have a dimmer backlight, since they don't run a different firmware or advertise improved battery life. But I'm not sure.

04:20:54jhMikeSI just say: whatever the heck installation instruction are linked to your player's model
04:20:54LloreanjhMikeS: The main problem is that people always skip 2.2.2, and just do 2.2.3 (2.2.2 is "Unzip rockbox.zip to the device", 2.2.3 is "Install the bootloader")
04:21:17LloreanThey're cleverly titled "Installing the Firmware" and "Installing the Bootloader"

04:30:12LloreanEbErT: You're wrong for thinking it's 'a lot'

04:34:35EbErTi didn't say "more than it should"
04:34:51LloreanYou said it accesses the disk a lot.
04:35:00*jhMikeS will certainly listen to that from someone that really knows how often it should ;)
04:35:00LloreanAnd that it might be a big factor in the battery issue.
04:35:16EbErTit wasn't a good statement in the first place, because that all depends on how you use your player Llorean
04:35:23LloreanConsidering the context, that suggests it hits it more than it should. If it's hitting it as much as it should, then clearly it _couldn't_ be a factor in the battery life issue.
04:35:28saratogaor if your player even has a HD

05:57:03webguest70Anyone know?
05:57:06Lloreanwebguest70: There is no official dual boot.
05:57:12LloreanFor the X5, at least.
05:57:51webguest70Really :(
05:57:54midkayok.. not sure if you were aware but BUTTON_REPEAT on the iPods (i.e. touch wheel) is always true as long as your finger is held on the wheel.. so even if you stop mid-list you're still BUTTON_REPEATing. that should be factored in if it isn't (i.e. if you stop scrolling, even if your finger is on the wheel, you need to reset the acceleration.)

06:24:53webguest34Hi will wma ever be supported on rockbox?
06:25:12scorcheif someone codes it into rockbox it will
06:25:30webguest34would it be hard?
06:25:44scorchefor someone with no knowledge of C, yes
06:26:18webguest34i know that but would it be hard for one of the coders
06:26:43scorcheone of the Rockbox developers?
06:26:52webguest34yer
06:27:04scorchethe issue is more a matter of spare time
06:27:10scorcheand benefit
06:27:35JerryLangedo alot of people have wma files? i only have mp3. I usually try to avoid to get wma files because they dont work on rockbox.

06:28:33webguest3470% of my files on my sansa are wma
06:28:33LloreanJerryLange: Many people don't do research in advance, or don't do _good_ research in advance, and/or just let Windows Media Player rip their CDs for them.
06:29:29JerryLangei understand
06:30:03Lloreanwebguest34: The main problem is that it'll take someone a decent amount of effort to fully convert one to fixed point, then more time optimizing, and WMA isn't really that good of a codec to begin with.
06:30:19Lloreanwebguest34: Most of the people with the skill to do this don't see it as a good use of their time, because they already use better codecs to begin with.
06:30:44webguest34is there a special video convertor that you need to change the video type
06:30:44Lloreanwebguest34: To paraphrase one of our core developers, "It'd take someone with a clue to port a WMA codec, and people with a clue wouldn't use WMA"
06:31:14scorcheLlorean: not an exact quote, mind you ;)
06:31:20Lloreanwebguest34: As for video, that's covered in the PluginMpegplayer page, but it's at an early state
06:31:28Lloreanscorche: That's why I said I was paraphrasing. :)
06:32:06JerryLangeits easier to convert your music then to wait for a wma codec
06:32:16LloreanOr re-rip.
06:32:34webguest34yer isnt wma smaller than mp3
06:32:43scorchepreferably re-rip to avoid a transcode, but it is wma anyway ;)
06:32:55scorchewebguest34: that doesnt mean it is better
06:33:56Lloreanwebguest34: Microsoft claims it is, but most double blind tests have shown that LAME encoded MP3 tends to be equal or better sounding at the same bitrate.
06:34:18webguest34k
06:34:51lavi1or use ogg vorbis
06:34:51webguest34Can you use any video convertor that converts to mpeg2?
06:34:53cynicalliberalWebguest34: if you want smaller, try ogg. Won't work on the original firmware though.
06:35:06JerryLangespeaking of codecs how is the ogg codec compared to the mp3 codec on rockbox?
06:35:13Lloreanwebguest34: Yes.
06:35:21LloreanJerryLange: How is it in what way?
06:35:26webguest34could you name any
06:35:37webguest34convertors*
06:35:39Lloreanwebguest34: Have you read the page I referenced you to yet, it mentions one.
06:35:39JerryLangeplaying and listening to songs
06:35:50LloreanJerryLange: That's not a valid question.
06:35:56LloreanWhat are you trying to compare?
06:36:07LloreanYes, you can play and listen to songs with both of them.
06:36:17amiconnmo0ning
06:36:29scorcheLlorean: i was typing the same thing, but i thought i had better things to do =P
06:36:30lavi1as opposed to only play or only listen :-p
06:36:33cynicalliberaltwo on that page even
06:36:51Lloreancynicalliberal: I thought there were two, but I was 100% sure there was at least one. :)
06:36:53JerryLangeare there any bugs in the codecs?
06:37:04LloreanNone known.
06:37:20cynicalliberalLlorean: yeah, I double checked to make sure >.>
06:37:22safetydanJerryLange, ogg is faster on arm, slower on coldfire. MP3 is faster on coldfire, but slower on ARM. Or something like that anyway.
06:37:36safetydanWhere faster means "decodes with less boost"
06:37:37amiconnJdGordon: Some menus are still not converted to the new system. Browsing those looks rather odd to me now...
06:39:54JerryLangesafetydan: what do the Ipods have?
06:39:54 Quit webguest34 ("CGI:IRC (EOF)")
06:40:03safetydanJerryLange, ARM
06:40:30LloreanI think on iPod/ARM, MP3 and Vorbis are fairly close now
06:40:45LloreanI think there were some optimizations to MP3 that brought it down to a similar level, but I could be wrong
06:40:48safetydanBe aware that my recollection may be subject to the mists of time, vagaries of memory, and is probably void where permitted.
06:41:08LloreanI think MPC is faster than both on ARM still, though
06:41:40scorchesafetydan: void where permitted?
06:42:17safetydanscorche, just silly phrasing to say "I'm not sure if I remember correctly"
06:43:02scorcheyes, but if it is void, one would assume it isnt permitted
06:43:50midkay'void where prohibited'?
06:44:00midkaypermitted seems like the wrong word.
06:44:00scorchemuch better
06:44:20JerryLangeis there still skipping on the ipods when using a theme with a peak meter?
06:44:26scorchewhich is what i was trying to point out =P
06:44:29safetydanIt's the sort of phrasing you see in warranty or competition fine print. Googling for the phrase shows I'm not crazy and other places use it :)
06:44:55midkaysafetydan: i'm nearly positive it's "prohibited" not "permitted". :)
06:45:04scorcheditto
06:45:16*Llorean thinks everyone should stop and go laugh at a pun here or something: http://www.xkcd.com/
06:45:21midkayvoid where permitted.. like.. disallowed where it's allowed? that doesn't make sense.
06:45:49scorcheLlorean: i check it daily....good comic =)
06:45:51*safetydan waits for the "off topic" ban hammer to come down

07:46:46LloreanJdGordon: Your acceleration in the iPod list is _okay_ but it has some major problems.
07:46:58LloreanJdGordon: The most important being, even if you take your finger off the wheel, it doesn't reset the scroll amount.
07:47:25JdGordonyeah, I saw that.. dont really know how to fix it :(
07:47:31LloreanJdGordon: I currently have it scrolling fast enough to get through a list of 100 entries in 3 screen updates.
07:47:37Llorean1000 entries
07:47:49JdGordonsometimes thats not so bad :p
07:48:15LloreanJdGordon: Yes, but how to I slow down to pick just one that happens to be two entries above the one I have highlighted?
07:48:17JdGordonthe list button code isnt called for ACTION_NONE so we dont know when the button was released
07:48:25JdGordonchange directions
07:48:32LloreanYeah, but that's entirely nonsensical for a normal user.
07:48:38JdGordondw, its not going to be committed untill thats fixed
07:48:57JdGordonwell, you probably overshoot more often than not, so its not soo bad
07:49:45LloreanOverall I don't really like the feel of it anyway.
07:50:12LloreanOn the iPod you can't treat scrolling similarly to how you do on the other targets.
07:50:24LloreanOn the other targets it's basically an on/off state.
07:50:46LloreanOn the iPods, you're moving your finger, and can vary the rate you move your finger at, scrolling needs to be reactive to this _somehow_ because to most users that's what's expected.
07:50:49*JdGordon understands....
07:50:56LloreanI'm not exactly sure _how_
07:51:02amiconnOn non-ipod, scrolling is accelerated by the button driver
07:51:20amiconnButton repeat gets faster while holding the button
07:51:49JdGordonyes, but you still only move up/down 1 item, so in large lists this takes way to long
07:52:01JdGordonthis works great on my h300
07:52:10amiconnFor really large lists you can use page-wise scrolling
07:52:24JdGordon2 fingure navigation is annoying
07:52:40JdGordon.. and dangerous while driving :p
07:52:50LloreanI think that allowing more acceleration than currently exists wouldn't be a bad thing, so long as the current behaviour is reproducable.

07:53:12amiconnI don't like 2 finger operation that much either, but for lists it's acceptable imho. Really long lists are very rare...
07:53:39amiconnAbout the only really long list I know of is the all-tracks list in the db
07:53:57JdGordondepends how you organise your files...
07:54:08JdGordonmost of my lists are long
07:54:16LloreanI have a 1400 file folder that can only really be split up through a rather tedious process of going through and hand sorting them.
07:54:21scorchethe thing is, we arent working with a button...we are working with a wheel....logically, it should work as apple does it
07:54:27amiconnThe longest file list I have is something between 400 and 500 files
07:54:31LloreanBut other than that, the longest list is my list of albums.
07:54:43scorchepaged scrolling like that wont really work and wouldnt be intuitive
07:54:50amiconnThe wheel is a different thing
07:55:06Lloreanscorche: I think it could accelerate up to paged scrolling if your finger were moving fast enough, after a certain amount of time.
07:55:12Lloreanscorche: But we're discussing button scrolling.
07:55:21amiconnI accept that it needs acceleration, but so far I didn't see any nicely working implementation for that
07:55:39*JdGordon almost has it perfect
07:55:44LloreanI haven't tried JdGordon's patch on a button target yet.
07:55:56LloreanBut judging from how it worked on the iPod, were it configurable I think it could be acceptable.
07:56:01JdGordonwith the added bonus of saving a few bytes :p
07:56:34LloreanOne thing that's important to me, though, is making sure the user has the option to say "Don't skip any entries" and can configure the speed.
07:57:04LloreanMost times if I'm scrolling a long list, it's because I can't even vaguely remember the title of a song, I just know I'll recognize it when I see it, and the current scroll speed pretty much ensures I'll see most/all of the titles in a long list.
07:58:35amiconnPersonally I prefer slower scrolling rather than overshooting all the time
07:59:49LloreanYes, same here.
08:00
08:00:07amiconnI tried apple scrolling (very) briefly, just with the menus as I don't have any apple recognisable files on the ipod
08:00:16amiconnIt feels too fast for my taste
08:00:32LloreanIf you need to get somewhere specific in a long list, there are much better solutions than 'quick, inaccurate scrolling' such as perhaps a "GoTo" entry in the context menu with 0-9 and A-Z as choices.
08:00:47amiconnThe piezo tick is somewhat helpful though

08:28:44*Llorean eagerly awaits the day the Sansa can replace his Nano
08:29:47GodEater_you have one too ? Are there any targets you don't own ? ;)
08:29:56LloreanI don't have an X5.
08:30:01LloreanOr an H10.
08:30:04Llorean:-P
08:30:06GodEater_hehe
08:30:46LloreanThe Sansa still has a bit of a ways to go. There's a noticeable glitchiness to the screen, and such.
08:30:53GodEater_wow - there's a Sansa forum already. That was quick!
08:30:58Lloreanpatate: If you have a specific question, it's generally best to ask the question.

08:31:22LloreanGodEater_: I was actually a bit slow on doing it. I should've done it when I closed the "New Ports" thread, but I forgot to until Saratoga mentioned it was missing.
08:31:26GodEater_Llorean: are you fearful of a flood of support postings for the sansa now ?
08:31:32LloreanI'm terrified.
08:31:36LloreanI know what those people can do.
08:31:37GodEater_yeah me too =/
08:32:00LloreanBut, I solved that legion guy's Gigabeat problems. There were four pages of that thread, so I decided to finally step in and solve it. :-P

08:32:48LloreanI figured the only two things it could be were still missing system files, or that he'd formatted something other than FAT32 (nobody had yet asked him that)
08:33:13GodEater_good point - I didn't think of that
08:33:45patateI extracted both the rockbox.e200 and the /rockbox dir directly to my sansa hd and when I restart the player the sansa firmware still boots..
08:33:54Lloreanpatate: You need to install the bootloader
08:33:59patatehow so ?

08:34:05GodEater_sheesh it's *freezing* in the office this morning. We had a building powerdown over the weekend - so the 100 plus PCs (heaters) in my room have all been off all weekend.

08:36:08LinusNi am a little curious about slasheris acceleration patch
08:36:29LinusNlooks a little complicated
08:37:02LloreanB4gd3r: There's not even a sansa_install.tex, which makes this officially outside of my knowledge range for the manual.
08:37:17LloreanLinusN: Has he put up a patch somewhere?
08:37:25LinusNit's in svn
08:37:28B4gd3rLlorean: yeah, for me too really
08:37:56LloreanLinusN: I thought those were the optimizations to prepare for acceleration, rather than the actual acceleration.
08:38:04*Llorean may have missed something
08:38:12SlasheriLinusN: have you seen the actual scrollwheel acceleration code yet?
08:38:16Slasherithat is not in svn
08:38:26LinusNthis frame dropping and boosting stuff looks rather complicated
08:38:28 Quit Stalwart (Read error: 110 (Connection timed out))
08:39:05Lloreanbluebrother: When you're around, I need a manual-related favour. If you see this in the logs, the Sansa manual lacks install instructions, specifically the bootloader bit and preparation for dual boot (they're here: http://www.rockbox.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/SansaE200Install)
08:39:32amiconnI wonder what negative effect this button boost might have. There's a potential of boosting/unboosting quite often, and every frequency change has a penalty
08:39:40B4gd3rthe dual-boot part is pretty important for sansa install
08:41:00LinusNamiconn: exactly
08:41:27midgeyhmm, can someone post an updated gigabeat bootloader to http://download.rockbox.org/bootloader/gigabeat/ ?
08:42:47B4gd3rmidgey: what bootloader should we put there?
08:42:54midgeythe current files are outdated and can cause some users to experience "Rockbox error: -2" I've temporarily attached an updated version to the wiki
08:43:19midgeyon march 3rd, a commit was made to allow the user to put rockbox.gigabeat in ./rockbox
08:43:38LloreanB4gd3r: See the updated http://www.rockbox.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/SansaE200Install and tell me what you think.
08:43:46LloreanI reorganized the information there a little bit.
08:43:46midgeyif you try that on an old bootloader you'll get an error and rockbox wont load
08:43:49B4gd3rmidgey: URL for the newer image?
08:44:19midgeyI've attached one to GigabeatFXPort on the wiki
08:44:38midgey(which should probably be deleted from the wiki...)
08:44:40B4gd3rLlorean: goodie
08:45:14patateAnyone could help me with the mi4 file decryption on the e200
08:46:18B4gd3rpatate: what's the problem?
08:46:39patateInstall a version of the mi4code program on your system (Use the windows binary or the source code under http://daniel.haxx.se/sansa/mi4code.html)
08:46:39patateDecrypt the mi4 firmware with: mi4code decrypt -s SKU_E-PP5022.mi4 OF.bin (If you are using a downloaded mi4 file.)
08:46:45LloreanLinusN: I'm curious, what did you edit in my post?
08:46:46patateI dont understand that
08:47:01B4gd3rpatate: what don't you understand?
08:47:07LinusNLlorean: "succesful" -> "successful"
08:47:21LloreanLinusN: Eeep, that means it's wrong in all the other posts like that.
08:47:29*Llorean goes a'fixin'
08:48:45B4gd3rmidgey: fixed!
08:48:55LloreanAlright, I've now resolved the fact that there were 5 more places showing everyone I can never spell "successfully" right without something that underlines it in red for me.
08:48:56midgeyB4gd3r: great!
08:49:27LloreanB4gd3r: Why do we have two gigabeat bootloaders there, anyway?
08:49:50B4gd3rI just like renaming the former one when I put the latest there
08:49:57LloreanAh, that fair.

08:57:47LloreanB4gd3r: That bootloader doesn't do what it's supposed to do.
08:57:53LinusNamiconn: or is it more like "Rogntudjjuuu!!!"? :-)
08:57:59Lloreanmidgey: That bootloader still doesn't load rockbox.gigabeat from inside /.rockbox/
08:58:15LloreanB4gd3r: In fact, the only noticeable effect from using it is that it breaks the bootsplash functionality.
08:58:35LinusNis the bootsplash really wanted btw?
08:58:41LloreanNot by me.
08:58:41midgeyLlorean: really? I my rockbox.gigabeat in .rockbox
08:58:45amiconnLinusN ?
08:58:50Lloreanmidgey: I got an error -2 using that file
08:58:50amiconnI was reffereing to my isp

09:00:55Lloreanmidgey: For what?
09:01:48midgeyLlorean: it's mentioned in the install instructions, i figured it was required
09:02:25Lloreanmidgey: The new bootloader is definitely running, it's just error: -2-ing when I have rockbox.gigabeat in the .rockbox folder

09:03:52midgeymd5 sums are the exact same
09:04:04midgeyand rockbox.gigabeat is in .rockbox
09:05:06Lloreanmidgey: How big is the file supposed to be?
09:05:36Lloreandownload.rockbox.org is showing it as 44k, but it's 65k on disk here, suggesting I'm not getting the right file somehow
09:05:48B4gd3rthe former one is ~65K
09:05:59midgeyeh, the new one is `43K
09:06:08midgey~43K *
09:06:10LloreanThat's what I thought.
09:06:17LloreanNow the question is, why can't I download it.
09:06:22LloreanI've never had caching issues before.
09:06:27LinusNLlorean: silly caching proxy?
09:06:42LloreanLinusN: I've never had such issues before, but I would assume so.
09:07:26B4gd3ror just silly user ;-)
09:08:57*Llorean wonders how to fix such a thing.
09:08:58LinusNmost probably :-P
09:09:37midgeyyou may have to follow "Gigabeat Recovery Procedures" on the Gigabeat wiki page
09:09:40Lloreanmidgey: Okay, so it does work, including Boostplash.
09:10:01Lloreanmidgey: No, the Recovery Procedures are for much worse things than what I've done. My Gigabeat is fine.
09:10:01*midgey didn't break anything ;)
09:10:27midgeyhow do you fix that since you killed off your OF ?
09:10:33LloreanThe bootloader has a USB mode.
09:10:48LloreanOr at least, the old one I got did
09:11:08LloreanYeah, the new one does too
09:11:13LloreanIf you hold "Menu" while booting
09:11:33LloreanIt enters what they've chosen to call "Rescue Mode" which could just as easily be referred to as "Bootloader USB Mode" like everywhere else does. ;)

09:13:27LloreanLinusN: Okay, if it were some proxy issue, do you know where I'd look to investigate?
09:14:18crwlLlorean, try to add, for example, ?something to the download URL
09:14:37crwlcaching proxies (usually) don't cache URLs that have parameters
09:15:28Lloreancrwl: Where would the caching proxy be located? I'm not too familiar with such things (and the ? did it, though I'd already successfully downloaded it by using IE instead of FF as a test)

09:16:43LloreanThen again, it's a file I've never downloaded before, ever, that I received, which suggests to me it can't be a local cache.

09:16:50*petur didn't follow from the start (and shuts up)
09:17:06*Llorean shrugs
09:17:07midgeyhmm, apparently rescue mode doesnt like my dock
09:17:16Lloreanmidgey: Yeah, it requires a direct connection, no dock.
09:17:35LloreanAnyway, the file works, I got the right one now, it was my own problem preventing it, all is well. :)
09:17:46midgeyyep, works fine with a regular usb cable
09:17:53LloreanExcept we need to excise the bootsplash and replace it with simply not updating the LCD, like the iPods do. :-P

09:25:30Lynx_So, is there any info available on the Austrian Microsystems visit? The wiki page is unchanged...
09:25:52B4gd3rLynx_: the most important outcome IMHO, is that we got the data sheet for AS3514
09:27:23Lynx_B4gd3r: cool. Did they really want to develop their own player?
09:27:50B4gd3rI don't know much about those parts
09:28:22peturLynx_: austriancoder was going to write a wiki page about the meeting there
09:28:35Lynx_ok
09:29:43*GodEater_ *likes* the bootsplash on the gigabeat, and would miss it if it disappeared.
09:30:31LloreanGodEater_: I don't think the bootloader should be loading any files other than the rockbox.target. It should basically be as minimal as it can be to do its necessary tasks.
09:31:03GodEater_I'm aware of your opinion - I just happen to disagree with it ;)
09:31:05*B4gd3r removed the terms "cooperation with AMS" from the wiki
09:31:07LloreanA splash screen could be added to Rockbox itself if it's a style issue.
09:31:26B4gd3rhanding over info is not cooperation imho
09:31:52peturand a dev board...
09:31:58GodEater_I don't get why they only agreed to send the datasheet to a few individuals though. Surely having the code we've put together having read it makes it pointless to hide the thing
09:32:06peturand talks about porting to their player...
09:32:15B4gd3rI just think that "cooperation" sounds like AMS does something for Rockbox
09:32:38LloreanI'd say we're, at best, in communication with them.
09:32:54B4gd3ryes, hopefully it can turn out to a cooperation

09:41:07_AmblinThe play time (?), does not start when I press the play button to start a song
09:41:18_Amblinit remains at 0:00
09:41:40LloreanWhat format is the song?
09:41:52_AmblinIts in MP3 encoded at 320 KBPS
09:42:08LloreanWhat format are the tags on it?
09:42:16_AmblinThey should be ID3
09:42:25_AmblinI dont use anything else
09:43:12_AmblinI also tried a song that was just freshly encoded from .wma to mp3.
09:43:17_Amblinno joy
09:43:23LloreanThe problem you're describing can be caused by nonsupported tags. Do your files have anything like, embedded large album art, or Ape tags?
09:43:36_Amblinalbum art
09:43:45_AmblinAll my files have large album art on them
09:43:55_AmblinOook

10:12:42LloreanBut why not store your music on it?
10:13:04prexllorean: i'd like to store more than will fit, need rf remote support, and would like wifi sync

10:14:28prexllorean: fair enough ... right now i have a really nice solution with the rf remote
10:14:39_AmblinThat is a pretty sweet device your dreaming up there prex
10:15:00_AmblinMake it complete with a 100 hour battery and make it double as a mobile game console. :)
10:15:04Lloreanprex: As for accessories that use the accessory protocol, such as remotes, those require someone to reverse engineer the whole protocol, which is probably a long way off.
10:15:21prexamblin: roffle ... if rockbox could read from external device, it'd be done and done
10:15:30prexllorean: got it - thanks for the clue
10:15:33GodEater_don't even think the iPL people have done that, and they've only got one hardware target to work on
10:15:44Lloreanprex: Pretty much whether or not Rockbox will be capable of doing things depends on how determined the people who actually want that thing are to get it done for themselves. One day someone will show up who wants it badly enough to go and make it happen.
10:15:57prexgodeater: i would gladly switch devices if something else fit reqmts
10:16:09prexllorean: thanks, am well aware of linux hacker determinism, etc
10:16:18KasperleGodEater_: aside from the fact that the people working on the rockbox/ipod bits seem way more active than the ipl people ;)
10:16:31GodEater_Kasperle: I didn't like to mention that ;)
10:16:47Lloreanprex: Well with Rockbox, the core focus is audio playback. So most development focus from the core goes toward either A) Audio playback, or B) Features that affect all or most devices.
10:17:12prexllorean: got it, thanks

10:38:06B4gd3rnow we just need a fearless soul to test it

10:39:31scorchewhat is this idea, o 1337ful one?
10:39:42LloreanMy ex-girlfriend has a e260R but I know she won't let me test anything that risks permanent harm.
10:39:52LinusNscratch the "R" away from the plastic
10:39:58preglowB4gd3r: how do the ml mails tell my server the mails are to me? the to: field just specifies the list address?
10:40:04LloreanLinusN: Brilliant!
10:40:41scorchehaha....i can just imagine calling up an ex: "Hi...can i use your mp3 player for testing?"
10:40:52B4gd3rpreglow: the server hands the specific address to the mail server
10:41:07preglowB4gd3r: doesn't seem like it's available for me to filter by :/
10:41:20B4gd3rpreglow: no, it can be tricky to filter on
10:41:36preglowthe delivered-to address is not what i want
10:41:36B4gd3ryou should then rather filter on deliveries from the specific list or similar
10:41:42preglowyeah, probably should
10:41:45Lloreanscorche: She and I are still on good terms. She was willing to let me test some things on it, but our schedules never aligned for me to borrow it, and now all that has been tested.
10:41:54preglowi'm still a procmail n00b, so i'll just look for a bit
10:42:23B4gd3rI'll hand you a rule, hang on
10:42:38Kasperleyou can filter by "List-Id: ..."
10:43:05B4gd3ryeah, or X-BeenThere
10:43:29B4gd3r* ^X-BeenThere: rockbox.*@cool.haxx.se
10:44:06preglowhow does procmail string the rules together? if any match, it delivers to what target i specify? or do all need to match?
10:44:56B4gd3ryou mean with several rules specified after each other?
10:45:09preglowyeah, * ^regexhere \n * ^moreregexhere \n
10:45:13preglowthen a target

10:53:51LloreanIt's still got a little ways to go before it's at the same level as the iPod ports.
10:54:34LinusNLlorean: and i wouldn't say that the ipod port is especially good either
10:54:38markunI think the DAC's .h file should have some defines like AUDIOHW_HAVE_BALANCE because the code is becoming a mess this way, don't you guys agree?

10:56:10LinusNi see
10:56:14markunB4gd3r: it makes it very hard to add a new target
10:56:49LloreanAnd the scrollwheel is less responsive than it is on my Nano, at least. But I think now that audio's working, interest will grow.
10:57:13B4gd3ryeah
10:57:24B4gd3rI expect the sansa port to become quite used
10:57:30markunB4gd3r: also, there are some #else defines in the code which are sometimes the archos targets or irivers and are also not really nice when adding a new port

11:13:29LinusNhmmm, just found a nasty bug with the talk clip playback
11:13:58LinusNit seems to crash if the last playback codec is not MP3
11:15:05amiconnSpeaking about talk clips: There will be a problem if we switch to speex for the voice files on swcodec (which, by itself, is a good idea):
11:15:11nlsLinusN: re voice: do you think FS #6159 should go in soon, i'd like it to be done before the lang cleanup if it's going to be comitted at all that is
11:15:28amiconnThe talk clips will then need to be in speex format as well
11:15:48amiconnOtherwise voice would need 2 different codecs
11:16:18LinusNwell, looks like talk clip playback crashes if the playback codec is not mp3
11:16:31LinusNamiconn: is that a problem?
11:17:03amiconnDunno... speex encoders aren't that widely used (yet), and speex is specialised for voice
11:17:45LinusNyes, that's why we would use it for voice
11:17:52LinusNno point otherwise
11:18:07preglowi don't see a problem in any of that
11:18:13LinusNme neither
11:18:15amiconnThe .talk clips don't necessarily need to be voice
11:18:27LinusNnls: i have totally forgotten about that patch
11:18:43amiconnAnd I don't know how difficult it would be to addd dual codec support to the voice thread
11:18:45preglowamiconn: why would you want them not to be?
11:18:59LinusNamiconn: are you aware of anyone not having speech in the .talk clips?
11:19:01preglowcome on, this is ".TALK" clips here
11:19:05nlsLinusN: it seems like a good one and it messes with the lang file :-)
11:19:12nlsgtg
11:19:13preglowthe intended use is for speech
11:19:59amiconnAnother point would be that voicebox needs to know whether it is generating clips for swcodec or hwocdec
11:20:08amiconnIirc it already does that though
11:22:13LloreanEven if someone didn't want voice in their .talk clips, speex can accommodate non-voice, it just won't sound very good. I think that's something they can just choose to deal with.

12:06:59decayedcelli wonder how the Apple Firmware does it
12:07:27JdGordonthat goes by the speed of the wheel... which we cant do just yet
12:07:37*JdGordon is doing this for all targets except the ipods :p
12:08:21*decayedcell awwwww
12:08:28amiconnHmm?
12:08:41amiconnAfaik the wheel events do tell the delta...
12:09:10JdGordonbut I'm going by the action driver and it saying when an action was repeated
12:09:23JdGordonwe can change that for the wheel targets tho
12:09:43Kasperlemaybe one could try something like (1 + some very small x)^(scaled time). but i have no idea how that would feel in practice
12:10:02Kasperlemaybe add a "cut off value", too
12:11:06JdGordonHZ/2 should show 500... shouldnt it?
12:11:23safetydanhrmm... speex stereo decoding works if you play a mono speex file first... weird

12:17:15JdGordonwell, If we can get some mostly generic way of getting this value from all available targets we could do this easily
12:17:41markunyes, also the H10 slider
12:17:47JdGordonthe only code that would need changing is the check to decide to increase/decrease the step size
12:18:42markunI would prefer it if no code had to be changed, but just a function in the button driver and a define in the config file
12:19:23JdGordonwell, atm the step is increaed after Xms if the same action keeps getting returned...

13:59:26JdGordonwell.. not in plugins.. but its all the same code
14:00
14:00:37PaulJambut when you accidently stop playback in a plugin you can't resume playback without leaving the plugin
14:01:06LloreanSo be careful, or do a feature request for the plugins to include playback controls.
14:01:23LloreanSeveral of them already do, though I don't believe the current set of playback controls includes a "Resume" option yet.

14:10:39JdGordonbecuase that option pauses... not stops
14:10:45JdGordonand the fix wasnt so simple :(

15:41:55LloreanThe Sansas are remarkably easy to almost-brick.
15:42:30dukemanHas anybody else seen the thing where the e200 rockbox bootloader starts fading to some kind of deep purple?
15:42:33dukemanScary shit
15:42:48Lloreandukeman: That seems to be a side effect of the early state of the code.
15:42:59dan_adukeman: Lots of times - just turn off and on again, you'll be fine
15:42:59dukemanokay

15:45:33dukemanSpeaking of LCD behaviour and such, are there different ways to draw on the display (Perhaps a sansa-only question, haven't tried rockbox on any others) ?
15:46:03dukemanIt seems that the plasma plugin does an incredible job at animating and whatnot, and so does the fire thing
15:46:37dukemanMeanwhile most other things seem to be drawing at slower rates
15:47:09 Join toffe82 [0] (n=chatzill@h-74-0-180-178.snvacaid.covad.net)
15:47:10dukemanIs there some magical accellerated drawing mode that they use, or is it just "Make me a bitmap, flip it onto the screen" ?
15:47:17markundukeman: I think the other place where drawing is done differently is in the MpegPlayer
15:47:26markuns/other/only/
15:47:33dukemanokay
15:48:07dukemanThen how come you see the image updating in menus, some games and so on but not in certain others (That one would expect take more oompf to draw) ?
15:48:21Lloreandukeman: Also, you're assuming the place the slowdown is happening is the drawing, rather than any preparation of what is to be drawn.

15:54:38dukemanIf you don't mind me asking more stupid questions, how come in the Background\Foreground color selection screens R and B have 31 steps while G has 63?
15:55:16LloreanBecause the human eye is more sensitive to Green changes. Since 16 bit doesn't divide evenly by 3, 5 6 5 is the most common with G getting the 6 bits

17:48:33pondlifePossibly USB charging whilst AC plugged in?
17:48:41markunand it's not your headphones?
17:48:50pondlifeNo, nor my stereo lead.
17:49:29pondlifeI connected the USB lead to the cradle for the first time. Sounds like that was a mistake?
17:49:52pondlifeRight channel is totally dead (aside from a bit of noise).
17:50:22markunI didn't even know there was a cradle for the H300
17:50:54pondlifeThere is - it just provides a stand for the unit plus USB and power feeds
17:51:22markunI don't see how USB + power could destroy your player
17:51:23pondlifeI never had a long enough USB lead, so always removed it from the cradle to plug in USB before
17:51:36pondlifeMe neither.

18:59:06bluebrotherok.

19:00:29amiconn(1) Font files would become twice as large. The unicode fonts are already monsters.
19:00:53amiconn(2) Drawing them requires alpha blending, excessively slowing down font drawing
19:01:05Lear_Seems like not all files linkes from build.rockbox.org are marked as no-cache or something. Tried to download an updated source archive, but got a (cached) copy...
19:01:06dan_aBagder: Do you have an E250R bootloader available for download somewhere? (the ROM one, not Rockbox)?
19:01:06Ice8luei think i have to say a big thank u to u guys. its so funny to put out your sansa in the train and start playing doom/quake^^

19:01:55Bagderdan_a: yes, see the mi4 page

19:15:14Ice8luei just tested the sansa build of today...is it possible that there is a very small delay between left and right channel?

20:04:04pondlifeOK, will look
20:05:22merwinIce8lue: WinXP SP2

20:05:51merwinIce8lue: I checked in the device manager, and i can see the exact usb device it's looking for, but it can't find it when i run e200tool
20:06:04pondlifeOr perhaps it's some kind of static buildup..

22:11:36dan_aBagder: I suspected it wasn't good. The Rhapsody bootloader still boots. I tried the tool on Windows, but with no luck (it can't find the Sansa) so I'm just going to have to find a way to encrypt the Rockbox bootloader properly

22:12:49Bagderdan_a: so you get that same error every time you try on linux?
22:14:05stripwaxamiconn - ok, looks like cygwin installer reports 3.4.5 so maybe something fishy my end - thanks!
22:14:16Bagderdan_a: and exactly when do you get it? when you try the recover thing?
22:14:35Sniper_Spikehow do you execute nano or vi in cygwin
22:14:36Bagderafter all, the R BL image was extracted with e200tool on an R model
22:15:09dan_aBagder: Yes. e200tool gives "Write at 0x1060xxxx" "Control message (-71, Protocol error)" where the last four bytes of the address change. This is from doing "e200tool recover", just after it finds device 6666:e200
22:15:38dan_aI suspect it's more likely to be my Linux install than an e200tool issue
22:15:59stripwaxSniper_Spike - 'nano' or 'vi', assuming you installed it!
22:16:20Sniper_Spikethanks!
22:16:30Sniper_Spikeis that the same for all the cygwin apps?
22:16:36Sniper_Spikejust the name?
22:17:52peturSniper_Spike: why do you need nano or vi, just use a windows editor (notepad2 is fine)

22:24:02dan_aBagder: IIUC, that means that we need the Rhapsody private key if we want .mi4 bootloaders for the R series. Is that right?
22:24:19Bagderyes, or patch the R model BL file to allow our own key
22:24:43Bagderwhich is what mi4code blpatch can do for the vanilla BL file
22:25:11Bagdergetting the private key just isn't a thing we can pull through
22:26:17Bagderif we can force a vanilla BL file onto an R model, we could possible allow our own bootloader to tripple-boot rockbox, vanilla e200 or e200R ;-)

22:59:59scorchei wonder what sandisk would say if you handed them an e200 with the e200R software on it
23:00
23:00:26Sniper_Spike"I bought it like this, really!"
23:00:39merwinBagder: Is there any way to have an e200 boot the OF.bin of a R?
23:01:06Bagdermerwin: most likely, although the only test I know someone did failed
23:01:10Bagderfor unknown reasons

23:06:56Bagderno, as I haven't actually used it recently ;-)
23:07:17Sniper_Spikeline at the top of the screen?
23:07:18merwinwhen running rockbox, even booting OF.bin, i have a weird 1 or 2 pixel high line on the screen at the top
23:07:32merwincuts off the battery meter a bit and stuff

23:07:40Sniper_Spikei dont.

23:08:28Sniper_Spikeonly gltiches I've noticed are red screens
23:08:36cynicalliberalmerwin: what color is the line?
23:08:37Sniper_Spikesometimes when trying to boot
23:08:46merwinodd, i haven't gotten that, although the firmware i used was about a week ago
23:08:51merwinthe build i mean
23:09:03Sniper_SpikeI end up having to hardware shutdown
23:09:13Sniper_Spikeand then boot again
23:09:49Sniper_Spikewell I got it with old pre-audo firmware & the latest stuff
23:10:05merwinhm... still some bugs to work out i guess :)

23:29:50_AmblinJust verify everything they do is correct.
23:29:55Sniper_Spikeit doesn't require that much skill to type one command in it
23:29:58_AmblinAnd be absolutely clear. :)
23:31:00cynicalliberalLol, well I'm reminded of the concept that if you don't know what you're doing... you shouldn't be doing it.
23:31:01merwinhow big should the bootloader bee
23:31:09merwin?
23:31:34merwinBagder: Mine is 500KB (the one that i read)
23:31:45_AmblinThe one I used was 59KB
23:32:02Bagdermerwin: you mean you asked for 500K so it turned out 500K?
23:32:13merwinyeah

23:44:32_AmblinThe firmware or the music service?
23:44:47donvito_Amblin: the sansas, so i guess you mean the firmware, yes
23:44:58donvito_Amblin: like the e260r for example
