#rockbox log for 2007-03-30

00:00:13amiconnIn main.c, usb detection happens before accessing the disk, and if detected, rockbox will go into usb immediately
00:00:27roolkuspotUP: good to hear
00:00:34peturah, for the targets without bootloader usb
00:00:34amiconnFirst, this is to protect from rockbox crashes due to bugs in conjunction with a corrupt filesystem
00:00:43spotUPthere is a mod player called mikmodule for ipod-linux, i noticed that someone tried to port mikmod to rockbox earlier, maybe it will be easier using the already ipod friendly ipod-linux mikmodule app?
00:00:52amiconnSecond, on Ondio, this is a convenience function.
00:01:15roolkuspotUP: I will put the better solution (with the iram use still intact) on the patch tracker
00:01:24spotUProolku ok cool! great work! i owe you one!
00:01:31amiconnAn MMC can operate in 2 modes, MMC mode and SPI mode. You can switch from MMC to SPI during operation, but for switching back the card must be power cycled
00:01:37roolkuspotUP: if you want I can dcc the rockbox.zip again but thereis probably not much difference
00:01:49spotUPwith the nicer fix?
00:01:51spotUPsure.
00:01:58amiconnThe USB-MMC bridge uses MMC mode, the core cpu uses SPI mode (it has to due to the wiring)
00:01:58spotUPthanx.
00:02:19peturamiconn: so I just do the initial filesize read in main.c and thus have it scanned on every boot...
00:02:28roolkuspotUP: okay (still compiling though)
00:02:29amiconnSo if we want to allow accessing a plugged MMC via usb directly after boot, rockbox *must* not access the MMC before
00:02:44 Join TheSphinX^ [0] (n=sphinx@p213.54.189.86.tisdip.tiscali.de)
00:03:24amiconnBootfile detection would be possible, because that's only ever on the internal flash which also acts as an MMC but does have a reset line
00:04:08amiconnBut for safety reasons we should stay away from accessing the disk before it gets a chance to go into usb mode
00:04:22peturok ok got the message
00:04:56amiconnI'm not sure, but I tend to think this bootfile change detection should go
00:05:21peturI'm thinking of moving it into default_event_handler_ex()
00:06:02spotUProolku, ok cool. what was the size limit for the mod plugin? i mean for the mods. i heard it couldn't load big mods. i read that the limit was 1.7mb in mikmodule, same for this one? very few mods are bigger than 1.7mb, i bet no-one is, as the amiga1200 only had 2mb chipmem.
00:06:08amiconnCurrently the browser handles it, and doing it there has the advantage of no *extra* disk access

00:06:36 Quit midkay ("Leaving")
00:06:47peturwell that implementation was borked and then broken by root_menu
00:06:57spotUPpetur, are you from sweden?
00:07:01amiconn...but this way it only detects the change when browsing the dir where it resides
00:07:05peturnope .be
00:07:10roolkuspotUP: much smaller I am afraid: 486kbyte
00:07:29spotUPaha. petur is not that common a name, so, i thought i'd ask. you never know. :)
00:08:10peturamiconn: I currently do the initial size scan in main() and then the check in root_menu() - seems to work ok
00:08:14spotUProolku ok. why? how much ram does ipods have? hehe and sorry for throwing out so many questions. i am new to this. i have only had my ipod for some days.
00:08:24roolkuspotUP: it would require some changes in the codec API to use the audio buffer
00:08:38amiconnpetur: Maybe, but it requires extra disk accesses this way
00:08:40spotUPoh. so it's a rockbox thing then.
00:08:45roolkuspotUP: currently it can only use the codec buffer
00:08:47amiconnI don't think it's worth that
00:08:59spotUProolku, any plans on making those changes?
00:09:03linuxstbspotUP: With the current buffering, the MOD file isn't guaranteed to be contiguous in the audio buffer - the audio buffer is a ringbuffer.
00:09:25spotUPaha
00:09:36peturthat's why I would rather only do this before and after usb connect
00:10:06roolkulinuxstb: would it be an acceptable compromise to force a re-buffer (by seeking to the start) when a wrap is detected?
00:10:22*spotUP listens with big ears
00:10:28roolkulinuxstb: provided the file is shorter than half the available ram
00:11:01linuxstbI'm not sure that would guarantee a rebuffer.
00:11:37spotUPoh, btw roolku, if you wanna hear mine and friends mods, visit the homepage of our amiga demogroup at http://www.uprough.net :)

00:12:06roolkulinuxstb: from experience I would say it does, but I would try and confirm it from the source
00:12:42TheSphinX^is it currently normal that after I played some mod's that the following mp3's are skipping?
00:13:40linuxstbroolku: But regarding your suggested hack, I think there's quite a strong feeling in Rockbox that temporary hacks should be avoided.
00:14:02linuxstbWhich is why things like album art aren't in SVN.

00:14:20roolkuyes, I got the same impression
00:15:08roolkumaybe the MOB could have an option where certain file types are to be loaded as a continious block
00:15:17roolkuspotUP: here it comes
00:16:19linuxstbIt's not really related to MOB, but it does require that very rare person - someone who understands the playback engine.

01:51:12H10_007quickIt was there already, I just edited a few things since it was there
01:51:29H10_007quickMade it SVN instead of CVS etc
01:51:43LloreanH10_007quick: You added a whole "Build a Rockbox Bootloader" section
01:51:51H10_007quicknope
01:51:57H10_007quickthat was there
01:52:09midgeyhe just changed CVS to SVN i think....
01:52:23LloreanOh, the diff thing is just not being friendly
01:52:28LloreanLooked at the old revision manually
01:52:31Soaphow bad is an error like "thread.c:67: warning: 'cores_locked' defined but not used"
01:52:39LloreanThat's a very silly page, there's way too much repeated information from the standard pages.
01:52:46H10_007quickI added "(Note: Those with the H10 MTP version must run ../tools/scramble -mi4v3 bootloader/bootloader.bin H10.mi4 in order to get a proper bootloader)"
01:52:46LloreanSoap: It's a warning.
01:53:11Soapyou are saying, as opposed to an error?
01:53:16LloreanSoap: Yep.
01:53:21H10_007quickLlorean: anything wrong with that?
01:53:23peturmore like a reminder that this needs to be addressed
01:53:26LloreanSoap: Warnings, in theory, aren't necessarily bad at all.
01:53:27Soapyes, I see now looking up I mixed my terms.
01:53:44LloreanH10_007quick: Yes, it once more suggests to inattentive viewers that "These processes are different for the H10, so we have to tell you how here"
01:54:01H10_007quick?

01:57:05LloreanIt really doesn't need a lot of that stuff. Anything that's explained properly somewhere else, like how to compile a bootloader or install Rockbox's bootloader, should just reference the standard guide.
01:57:34LloreanThe problem with writing the same stuff on a single-player page, is that it suggests that it's somehow "different" instead of just being repeated information.
01:57:41Soap(or the standard guide should be improved if it is found lacking.)
01:57:47peturhmmm did rockbox.org just go down?

02:03:18pearldiverLlorean is there any significant difference between encoding with winFF and vlc?

02:04:04 Quit petur ("Zzzzzz")
02:04:13Lloreanpearldiver: WinFF will fix files with not-quite-perfect 29.976 to the right ratio, while VLC will just not encode a video stream unless you add -fps 29.976023 to the command line
02:04:43pearldiverbut quality wise they are basically the same i guess since the same encoder used
02:05:31Llorean99.9% of quality will depend on your source file and your settings
02:05:42LloreanBut ffmpeg is a solid set of encoders.
02:06:28pearldiveri noticed in the winFF encoding window some notice about error in the code build?

02:07:58pearldiveri see
02:08:00LloreanI had to do that because the one with WinFF wouldn't do H264 for some other tests I was running.
02:09:02pearldiveroh could you upload it somewhere?

02:29:22Lloreanwebguest95: Is there any way you could attempt to use real words? It's getting a pain to read what you say, especially since you seem to end lines at random intervals.
02:29:28webguest95ok
02:29:30Lloreanwebguest95: Also, try reading the page linuxstb linked to you.
02:29:40webguest95what is Manufaction mode
02:29:47webguest95sorry for my spelling
02:30:01Lloreanwebguest95: Again, for the last time, try reading the page linuxstb linked you to.
02:30:09webguest95How do you get to it
02:30:09webguest95ok
02:30:10linuxstbwebguest95: And also this page - http://daniel.haxx.se/sansa/e200.html
02:30:16saratogamanufacturing mode is one of the last chances you get to fix the sansa before you have a paperweight i think
02:30:28Lloreansaratoga: Actually, there's one even more last chance.
02:30:37Lloreansaratoga: But I believe that's a mode it takes itself to when nothing else will work.
02:31:15smablyis adding menu options considered bad form?
02:31:17saratogayeah i can't keep the sansa straight
02:31:31saratogai'll have to pickup one of those eventually
02:31:35webguest95but hold on my sansa in device mananger is detected as MTP device
02:31:35Lloreansaratoga: Yeah, there are too many "modes"
02:31:56Lloreansmably: What do you mean?
02:32:19linuxstbsmably: Adding unnecessary menu options is bad...
02:33:03pearldiverLlorean what modes does the strict command keeps exactly?
02:33:12smablyLlorean: i remember people saying stuff about settings bloat before or something −− basically, i'm wondering what people would think of committing FS #6831 :)
02:33:23webguest95Is there any bottons to press to get to manufaction mode
02:34:01Lloreanpearldiver: If you don't have -strict -1, you can't use the 10, 12, or 15fps rates.
02:34:08pearldivergotcha
02:34:18Lloreanpearldiver: Technically speaking they aren't part of the MPEG standard, I believe, but they're supported very widely despite that.
02:34:44saratogawebguest95: check the link linuxstb posted above
02:34:47saratogaits all in there
02:34:51Lloreansmably: I'm against it, as bloat.
02:34:58saratogaand you should probably read that entire page before even trying any of this
02:35:01smablyok
02:35:06webguest95can i talk to you private
02:35:22Lloreansmably: I personally haven't bothered to set my RTC on the Gigabeat, since I don't care, and I'd hate to be annoyed by a prompt every. :)
02:35:44Lloreanwebguest95: Why haven't you read the pages linked to you?
02:35:48linuxstbsmably: As mentioned on the patch tracker, it was discussed in IRC around the time the patch was posted. You should be able to find the discussion in the logs.
02:36:00webguest95I DID
02:36:02pearldiverLlorean have you tried the 2 passes mode? does it improve anything?
02:36:11smablyLlorean: well, that's why it's off by default
02:36:18smablylinuxstb: ok, thanks. i'll have a look.
02:36:21webguest95I DONT KNOW HOW TO GET TO THE MANUFACTION MODE
02:36:25linuxstbwebguest95: The second page I linked you to tells you that.
02:36:30Lloreanwebguest95: Not well enough, the second one linuxstb links tells how to get into Manufacturing mode.

02:37:26Lloreanpearldiver: I haven't tried it yet.
02:37:34pearldiverlet me try it
02:37:35saratogaseriously, you've already nearly destroyed your player, this is sort of your last chance
02:38:04saratogastop trying to fix it for a couple minutes and read through all the pages until you understand the process, its not that complicated, but if you do the wrong thing, you'll lose your sansa
02:38:05Lloreanpearldiver: I was considering adding 2-pass presets for the Gigabeat, since I think it's the only one with a high framerate and big enough visual area to even possibly benefit from the increased encode time
02:38:56pearldiveris there a way to hardcode the subtitles from the command line?
02:39:02Lloreansmably: I don't think it's a "bad" patch, I just don't think it's necessary. If you've flipped the power switch, you know your time is wrong.
02:39:13Lloreanpearldiver: I believe so, see that long list of options, it has subtitle ones.

02:39:30pearldiverim looking at it right now, i see only few for subs
02:39:30saratogawow the sansa is down to 160 USD shipped
02:39:39saratogafor the 8GB
02:39:49pearldiversaratoga F40 is $100 shipped :P
02:39:58saratogayeah i know
02:40:00pearldiver40GB :))
02:40:01saratogathats also tempting
02:40:19saratogabut i've already got an ipod
02:40:22Lloreanpearldiver: The Sansa has a lot more potential functionality
02:40:25saratogaso i'm leaning towards flash
02:40:44pearldiverLlorean i wasnt really keen on the feel/looks of it
02:40:50Lloreanpearldiver: I really haven't tried subtitles, so I dunno. I didn't see many options, but I don't know how many you need.
02:41:02LloreanThe Sansa feels quite solid to me, which I like
02:41:09pearldiverLlorean well just the basic one to recognize and hardcode them
02:41:15LloreanIt's fairly small, but still has a very nice looking screen, and includes FM Radio and internal mic recording.
02:41:38pearldiver-newsubtitle
02:41:42pearldiveri guess this one
02:41:49smablyLlorean: true; the purpose of this patch is convenience, though, so you don't have to wade through the menu every time the RTC gets reset
02:41:55saratogais it actually usable in Rockbox yet?
02:41:59Domonokyif someone wants to try the new rbutil version without wizards: www.b23.org/~domonoky/rbutil.zip <- win32 binary
02:42:02saratogaor at least nice to use in rockbox
02:42:31Lloreanpearldiver: Actually, it may not be able to overlay subtitles for you. That one seems like it's more for adding subtitles into the container for formats that support separate subtitles.
02:42:33smably*is so
02:42:48Lloreansaratoga: No recording features working on the Sansa yet, I believe.
02:42:50pearldiverLlorean hmm yeah
02:42:51Nico_Pdoes anyone have an idea why my latest commit was eaten by the build page ?
02:43:04Nico_PDomonoky: have you seen my rbutil patch ?
02:43:11Domonokyyes..
02:43:13Lloreansmably: Yes, but the RTC should get reset so rarely that it's a very very small addition to convenience.
02:43:16saratogahows playback though? i saw theres patches for the screen and volume issues
02:43:22saratogabut is it stable?
02:43:40Lloreansaratoga: Not perfect yet, they're still working out the proper settings for the hardware.
02:43:48saratogayeah i've been following it
02:43:57DomonokyNico_P: now wizards anymore, so also no cancel message :-)
02:44:05Domonokynow=no
02:44:12Nico_PDomonoky: cool
02:44:18Nico_PI hated these messages
02:44:31tsuyoshirockbox has some clicks in the audio on sansa
02:44:37tsuyoshikind of annoying
02:44:43smablyLlorean: heh, okay. consensus last time this discussed seemed to be that this would be annoying, because it would show up too often (that's why i made it optional, and off by default)
02:44:48Lloreansmably: Basically, once everything's "working", a user should never have to reset their RTC because they should never have to switch off or remove the battery, right?

02:47:01Lloreansmably: I wouldn't mind if when the RTC was invalid, when you entered the setting screen the first time the value shows was the current build date/time though
02:47:12LloreanJust, no popup, no options, no anything else, to me.
02:47:23smablyLlorean: okay, that's reasonable (the binary size argument)

03:11:47webguest95ok
03:12:13LloreanWould you rather spend 4 or 5 hours making sure you've read everything and are 100% ready, then have a working Sansa, or just try to do it as soon as you "think" you have the right idea, and then never use your Sansa again?
03:12:20LloreanBecause you keep trying for #2
03:12:36tsuyoshiso how hard is it to brick a sansa?
03:12:53Lloreantsuyoshi: In theory it's possible.
03:13:11tsuyoshiso, not easy?
03:13:24Lloreantsuyoshi: And there might be some people who've done it, but nobody's ever reported not being able to get *any* of the last-ditch modes to load, they've just been unable to recover from those modes so far.
03:13:49LloreanUsually what happens with the Sansa is that users give up on being able to fix it, because it's not an easy process after a certain point
03:14:15LloreanBut then to get that point, you have to get the install instructions wrong, then get the recovery instructions extra extra wrong, just as a start.

03:53:50saratogawonder why they didn't include hardware to do stuff like this
03:54:16saratogawould only take a few muxes to shift rescale the output of the alu
03:54:53Lloreanoblib: It's entirely possible it just didn't get enabled.
03:55:25oblibLlorean, do you know what else is enabled if I turn on CONFIG_CHARGING that might cause problems in the nano?
03:55:55Lloreanoblib: No clue, I suppose just test it and see if anything seems funny
03:56:10obliblike smoke coming out the top? :)
03:56:30LloreanNah, it shouldn't be able to cause hardware damage

04:01:32Rcholla32Hello
04:01:48Rcholla32how to unbrick a sansa
04:02:05pearldiverLlorean
04:02:08LloreanRcholla32: http://www.rockbox.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/SansaE200Unbrick
04:02:09Rcholla32with manufaction mode
04:02:10pearldiverinteresting result
04:02:16Rcholla32ok
04:02:42LloreanRcholla32: And I know it's the same person who was in here before.
04:02:51LloreanRcholla32: You've already been answered several times now.
04:02:58Lloreanpearldiver: Interesting?
04:03:03Rcholla32what
04:03:23pearldiverwell, video doesnt play anywhere except for vlc player (on PC)
04:03:49pearldivereverywhere else is just bunch of colorful blocks

04:04:24pearldiver(native vlc encodes played everywhere for me)
04:04:35Lloreanpearldiver: Maybe two-pass creates some sort of semi-non-standard file as well?
04:04:59pearldiverbut the overall quality is very nice
04:05:09pearldivergoing to try it on the player now
04:05:11Lloreanpearldiver: 600kbps has pretty decent quality as it is.
04:05:19LloreanI'm watching Gladiator in it right now
04:05:25pearldiveryes it does, but now the blocking is even less
04:05:41LloreanIf 2-pass works, 400kbps might be better then.
04:05:52pearldiveryes i was just thinking about that
04:05:58LloreanThe lower the bitrate, the more consistent playback framerates will be, especially for full frame
04:09:00 Join bawb2 [0] (n=bawb2@17.14.124.24.cm.sunflower.com)
04:09:11pearldiverplays perfectly on the player
04:09:18pearldiverlooks nice as well
04:10:40pearldiverbad idea to disable skip frames
04:10:47LloreanVery
04:10:52pearldiverit just went into slow motion and locked the player
04:10:56LloreanLocked?
04:11:00LloreanThat's unusual
04:11:01pearldiveryeah
04:11:06Rcholla32I need help agian
04:11:07pearldiveri cant press anything
04:11:10LloreanAlso, what framerate was the file?
04:11:22pearldiver29.97
04:11:29LloreanRcholla32: I expect you still haven't read the whole forum thread I referred you to earlier?
04:11:33Lloreanpearldiver: 16:9 or 4:3?
04:11:39pearldiver16:9
04:11:42LloreanHm
04:11:54Llorean16:9 shouldn't need to skip frames very often at 29.97
04:12:00Rcholla32Oh My God
04:12:24Rcholla32who knows how to fix a broken sansa
04:12:48LloreanRcholla32: Please, stop repeating the same question over and over. You've been told how to do it, you just refuse to follow instructions
04:12:58pearldiverLlorean same thing happened to me once when i connected usb while the video was playing
04:12:59Rcholla32so in manufaction mode just the blue scrool wheel
04:13:03Rcholla32wow
04:13:05pearldiverit was exactly the same effect
04:13:10pearldiverslow motion and locked player
04:13:16Lloreanpearldiver: That's really weird, I've never connected USB while in Rockbox.
04:13:21Lloreanpearldiver: I *bet* it's a threading issue, though
04:13:24Rcholla32dude you look at it its pretty hard to do
04:13:35LloreanRcholla32: Yes, I KNOW it's pretty hard to do
04:13:40LloreanRcholla32: I said VERY clearly, it is not an easy process.
04:14:37pearldiverLlorean maybe because my battery is very low it did that now
04:14:57Lloreanpearldiver: If could provide a problem if the disk was trying to spin up, I suppose
04:15:36pearldivergoing to try 400kbps now
04:15:55pearldiverdoes the little windows settings in winFF overwrite the preset?
04:16:10Lloreanpearldiver: Yes
04:16:32Lloreanpearldiver: Also, I'm using r12932, which has all the syncing updates except the less aggressive frameskip, and should perform the same, but _may_ not
04:16:36pearldiverwell i restarted, enabled skip frames and it plays perfectly now
04:16:39Rcholla32Well can you look at it
04:17:14saratogai think you're trying to ask one of us to do it for you
04:17:30LloreanRcholla32: Seriously, take your time, and ask specific questions IF and ONLY IF they are not explained in the thread or the pages you were linked to.
04:17:58LloreanRcholla32: It is NOT an easy process. You have messed up your Sansa, and because you messed up your Sansa you need to do some difficult things that require careful actions to fix it.
04:19:00Lloreanpearldiver: one of the places two-pass might help a lot is animation, I suppose
04:20:25pearldivergoing to experiment with bitrates and passes now
04:20:32Rcholla32ok'

04:33:24Lloreanpearldiver: Yeah, the presets file I uploaded to the wiki should have 400kbps for the Gigabeat.
04:33:38LloreanOh, shoot.
04:33:41LloreanThe most recent one is 600 isn't it.
04:33:43LloreanAh well
04:33:49pearldiverLlorean so you havent tried the newest aggressive dropping commit yet?
04:33:58Lloreanpearldiver: It's less aggressive.
04:34:02pearldiveryeah it was 600
04:34:16pearldiver+less*
04:34:22Lloreanpearldiver: I tried it on a 'problem' file on the Nano, and it improved playback smoothness alot without sacrificing syncing.
04:34:51LloreanOn the Gigabeat it should make Elephant's Dream 4:3 play back a lot more smoothly
04:34:53pearldiveri guess wont affect the gigabeat too much anyway
04:35:44pearldiverby smooth you mean less tearing?
04:35:58Lloreanpearldiver: I mean less frames being skipped.
04:37:09Lloreanpearldiver: It does affect the gigabeat, though mainly on >25fps 4:3 video
04:40:06pearldiverok i know what caused that slowdown and lock
04:40:14pearldiverheadphone insert
04:40:22pearldiverjust did it again

04:41:48LloreanNope.
04:42:02LloreanI didn't even know that was an option on the Gigabeat normally
04:42:05Rcholla32Found it
04:42:12pearldiverhehe there is and i use it
04:42:16pearldiverso it must be it
04:42:19Lloreanprobably
04:42:23Rcholla32they are using libusb
04:42:32Rcholla32linux
04:42:50oblibLlorean, do you know who is working on the Nano?
04:42:59Rcholla32but the last time it messed up my computer
04:43:04LloreanRcholla32: No, they're using Linux because the windows version of libusb doesn't work well
04:43:26Lloreanoblib: Most of the time, nobody is working on a specific player.
04:44:02Rcholla32yes
04:44:04oblibLlorean, how would I find out if anyone is working on power related stuff in the nano? Just look in flyspray?
04:44:13LloreanRcholla32: Libusb is NOT a type of linux though
04:44:19Rcholla32ok
04:44:20pearldiverLlorean why the skipping frames option is even there?
04:44:27Rcholla32so dont download it
04:44:32pearldiveri mean maybe it should be always default on
04:44:35LloreanRcholla32: Just read carefully, please.
04:44:41Rcholla32ok
04:44:42LloreanRcholla32: Read every single post, all the way through. ALL of them
04:44:49Lloreanpearldiver: It should always be on, yes.
04:44:58Lloreanpearldiver: But it's there for testing purposes.
04:45:10Lloreanpearldiver: If you want to see the maximum decode speed, you need to disable both framerate limiting and skip frames.
04:45:32pearldiveri see
04:46:01Lloreanpearldiver: That being said, I'm hoping in the future "Skip Frames" can be replaced with "Target framerate" so one can set it to say, "15fps" for the 15fps targets, and have it default to skipping frames down to that rate, and then only skip more frame if it can't play back suitably (assuming that's even possible
04:46:17pearldiverwell 400kbps 2 passes is quite watchable but you can forget about fast paced scenes nor it adds nothing to the smoothness of the video
04:46:40 Quit |Rincewind| ("Cya")
04:46:40LloreanThe frameskipping code did an admirable job of playing back a 59.94 FPS dvd-rip at 29.9 fps or so.
04:46:57Lloreanpearldiver: What do you mean, exactly?
04:47:13pearldiverits noticably more blocky
04:47:57LloreanTwo-pass made it *more* blocky?
04:48:06pearldiversaved about 30gb on a 20min video
04:48:18pearldiverno, 400 against 600
04:48:28pearldiver30mb*
04:48:56LloreanAh.
04:49:08LloreanWell yeah, 200 more is a *lot* more data, ratio wise.
04:49:58pearldiverdoes it bother you, you cant quite the mpegplayer while its on pause? :)
04:50:03pearldiverquit*
04:50:40LloreanIf I'm planning on quitting, it really doesn't matter to me that the video will keep playing briefly. :)
04:50:50LloreanBut remember, mpegplayer almost entirely lacks anything resembling polish
04:51:04LloreanFunctional issues are important, things like that are pretty much irrelevant at this point.
04:51:25pearldiveryeah but i love it in whatever state it is as long as it shows anything on the screen :)
04:53:21LloreanBut yeah, I'll try two-pass 600 compared to one-pass 600 and if it does really make enough difference, I'll probably add presets for it

04:56:25pearldiver1 and 2*
04:56:50pearldiverlike you said, it depends on type of the video i guess
04:57:01pearldiverfast paced scenes, animation etc
04:57:20Lloreanpearldiver: Yeah, I suspected two-pass wouldn't really be a big benefit on-target.
04:57:45Lloreanpearldiver: It's kinda a question of whether the benefit is worth the extra decode time
04:58:00LloreanErr encode time
04:58:01browca04Quick question, how often do you guys update the rockbox firmware on your mp3 players?
04:58:12browca04Like once a month or every couple of days or what?
04:58:15Lloreanbrowca04: Depends on a lot of things.
04:58:32Lloreanbrowca04: Sometimes more than once per day, but if I'm not testing anything specific, I don't update unless I see a fix that interests me

07:46:47robin0800ipod video 5g
07:47:24Lloreanrobin0800: There's nothing wrong with the 5G build.
07:47:25aliaskIt'll be fine, it's yellow because theres an unsed variable. I think slasheri left it in there accidentally.
07:47:53Lloreanaliask: The other warning is a #warning basically reminding someone to do something with that variable once they figure out how to use it properly, I think.
07:48:10aliaskYep, that's what I figured too.
07:48:50Slasheriindeed. For 5G there should be nothing wrong
07:49:32robin0800yes that is probably true why is there not a key to the colours used ie yellow warning red broken sort of?
07:49:34Slasheribut some other players crashes if the locking mechanism is enabled. And that really needs to be fixed before COP can be used
07:50:25Slasherii think yellow is fine, it's just a reminder
07:51:05robin0800well as stated I wont be installing a Current build any time soon at least green for on or two commits
07:52:13aliaskIf it makes you feel more comfortable...
07:52:26robin0800it does
07:53:10Lloreanrobin0800: Green doesn't mean "no bugs" and yellow doesn't mean "bugs"
07:53:24LloreanIn fact a build with lots of yellow could be a lot stabler and more consistent than one with all green.
07:55:14robin0800why don't you say that on that page a brief note about what the colours mean in practice?
07:55:57LloreanBecause they don't mean anything specific other than "Red means the compiler reported an error, yellow means it reported a warning"
07:55:59LloreanThat's *all* they mean
07:56:48robin0800so that may or may not mean bugs?

07:57:54tsuyoshiyeah it would be nice if the page said what the colors were
07:58:00LloreanRed usually means that part of the build will be missing. This could mean a plugin, it could mean rombox for the archoses, or it could mean the main program
07:58:06Lloreantsuyoshi: I just explained what they were.
07:58:08tsuyoshiI figured it out after a while but it isn't immediately obvious
07:58:35LloreanIt's not like they're really of much use to anyone who can't read the log and figure out what they are anyway

09:31:28LinusNhi rob
09:31:47sslashesjust thought i'd stop by and see what the general thought were on my app
09:32:33sslashesand about the idea itself
09:33:06LinusNhave you seen the public comments?
09:33:31sslashesyes
09:33:40LinusNoh wait, it seems i haven't seen your last comment
09:33:53sslashesit is very new =)
09:35:40*petur likes the idea of keeping theme fonts, backdrops and wps with the theme itself
09:36:16LinusNme too
09:37:02peturbbl
09:38:14sslashesthe idea for drawing conigurations is very different from the current system - any thoughts on the aceptance of a new system - or (as the last line of my comment stated) would people prefer simply an enhanced WPS system (built on the current one)
09:38:17LinusNsslashes: how do you mean by the playing.dr file overriding the "screen estate" of global.dr?

09:38:44 Join idnar_ [0] (i=mithrand@unaffiliated/idnar)
09:38:49LinusNwould global.dr be drawed first and then playing.dr on top?
09:39:00 Join Ribs [0] (n=ribs@91.84.8.218)
09:40:23sslasheskind of
09:40:27sslashesno
09:40:29sslashesheh
09:42:02sslashesi imagine the parser parsing global.dr and then one of the specific files (such as playing.dr, depending on the current UI location) and combining where nessisary, so, since the playing.dr file specifies it starts at veritcal pixel 21, anything below that in the global.dr file would be disgarded
09:42:24sslashesthis would generate an intermedian drawing file which would then be actually "drawn" on-screen
09:43:23LinusNsounds a little too complicated to me
09:44:05sslashesheh - of course the system could drop global completely and just rely on the playing, browsing, and setting files
09:44:38LinusNi think as much as possible should be pre-baked by the theme author, perhaps with a theme "compiler" or something
09:44:58sslashesmy main reason for the global file is because in most themes (and, for that matter, other players) there is a standardized "top" section
09:45:16sslashesthat might actually be a very good idea
09:45:23LinusNi think the status bar could have its own file
09:45:59*XavierGr appears with a box from USA :D
09:46:07LinusNXavierGr: a bomb?

09:47:23XavierGrwhat does it have? (pondfile's H340) is it broken? :\
09:47:29LinusNbroken uda1380
09:47:55LinusNwill attempt surgery today
09:48:07sslashesit might also be a good idea (if the project is accepted) to hold a developer session where everyone can comment on the pros/cons of different ideas and a functional system can be decided on
09:48:08XavierGrmy box has an F40 that toffe sent me :)
09:48:36LinusNXavierGr: nice
09:48:39sslashesi am less interested with the "why" and more with the "how" - that is, the implementation (i also REALLY want to customize the browsing screen)
09:48:45XavierGrwow that thing looks brand new...
09:49:02LinusNsslashes: i think we all agree on the "why"
09:49:10sslashesheh
09:49:11sslashestrue
09:49:12Lloreansslashes: I'm worried that since we already have poor browser performance, customization of it would add additional overhead just making "using" it less pleasant.
09:49:42sslashesLlorean: what do you think of LinusN's idea to have a theme "compiler"
09:50:01*scorche wonders if having no public comments is a good thing, or bad
09:50:04Lloreansslashes: A theme compiler on its own doesn't necessarily offer a solution to this problem.
09:50:34Lloreanscorche: Clearly it means you're being whispered about behind your back. :-P
09:50:40scorchefor shame!
09:51:02sslashesthe current performance problems - are they accross all players?
09:51:21Lloreansslashes: Not all, they're most significant in certain targets (anything portalplayer based)
09:51:52LloreanWith the idea of compiled themes, there are some significant disadvantages.
09:52:21LloreanAlthough they're disadvantages to certain subgroups, so I don't know if they matter _too_ much
09:52:21sslashesis the decoding engine and the drawing engine still running on the same thread - or was some thread implementation done at some point?
09:52:46LinusNscorche: in your case it isn't necessarily bad
09:52:54Lloreansslashes: Even without playback the UI can be sluggish.
09:52:55XavierGrplease someone tell me that the F40 has usb charging :\
09:53:00LloreanXavierGr: It does
09:53:10XavierGrI don't have a US-EU adapter converter
09:53:22LinusNisn't the browser performance due to unnecessary redraws?
09:53:22*scorche glances hard at the "necessarily"
09:53:44LloreanLinusN: That's one of the biggest problems, I think
09:53:57XavierGrlol it has a tiny switch on the bottom that cuts off the battery! I wonder why
09:53:58LloreanLinusN: My point is just that any new system needs to strive to perform better than the current one.
09:54:03LinusNoh yes
09:54:10sslashesagreed
09:54:12LloreanI'd rather have performance than pretty.
09:54:26LloreanEspecially since performance isn't up to the "good" point on some players, yet. :)
09:54:34XavierGrnice toffe already installed rockbox on it :D
09:54:59LloreanAnother thing, is that if it is the "compiled" route, it should be a reversible process. Our WPS designers learn a lot from existing ones.
09:55:15LinusNLlorean: good point
09:55:47LinusNXavierGr: the OF on the gigabeat is horrible
09:56:00XavierGrLinusN: I can imagine that.
09:56:16XavierGrLinus: But I have to say that with rockbox any kind of firmware looks horrible
09:56:18LloreanAnd it needs to be interchangeable enough. A user should still have the current flexibility to pick a WPS, Backdrop, and Font (or in this case, WPS, Menu layout, Backdrop, and Menu and WPS fonts or whatnot)
09:56:52LloreanCurrently I can pick a text only WPS, with a backdrop of my choice, use nearly any font I like, and have a backdropless menu, even if I don't have a defined "theme" for that

10:01:23scorchemarkun: i was adding tot he blanket statement of many OFs being horrible =P
10:01:32markunok :)
10:01:34Lloreansslashes: Also, be aware that arbitrary text positioning is probably going to conflict with how lines are scrolled when they're oversize, so that's something that may need addressed. Don't know how much of a problem it will turn into.
10:02:25markunLinusN: how does the ipod 5(.5)g screen compare to the one of the Gigabeat? Similar?
10:02:32sslashesya - i figure some of the routines (like scrolling) might need some editing anyway though
10:02:43LinusNthe ipod 5g screen is awesome imho
10:02:49peturwouldn't it be better to change wps/ui changes _after_ we get viewports?

10:05:52sslashesSlasheri: heh - i try (sometimes)
10:06:37pondlifeI think the text-based system has great advantages in being easy to understand. Look at how many non-devs can happily produce (or modify) WPSs.
10:06:49pondlifeThat's got to be a good thing to preserve.
10:06:57markunI made some changes to the YUV2RGB conversion (only for the Gigabeat for now). Does anyone want to try them and comment on the difference?
10:07:25sslashesthere is no reason pixel positioning could be implemented while allowing "carrage returns" of a specifc pixel size

10:08:07sslashesyes

10:08:38pondlifesslashes: Where are your comments? Earlier in IRC?
10:08:54LloreanI've got a wide range of test files on my Gigabeat right now.
10:08:55sslashesyes, and on the google soc website
10:08:56markunLlorean: ok, let me make a patch
10:09:03Lloreanmarkun: What would I be looking for?
10:09:17GodEater_Llorean: not that it will make the slightest bit of difference, but can we change the posting guidelines to make complaining about iPod runtimes illegal ? :)

10:09:44Lloreanmarkun: Alright, I know which video to test with then. :)
10:09:57LloreanGodEater_: Technically it is.
10:10:07LloreanAt least, I believe it's covered in the FAQ

10:13:40markunmaybe toffe can do it with 2 Gigabeats :)
10:14:14Lloreanmarkun: If the difference is noticeable, I think I'll see it with a certain few of my files. If it's *not* noticeable, then it'll either be placebo effect, or no change, either of which is also fine. :)
10:14:45markunLlorean: yes, it's noticeable.
10:14:56sslashesperhaps viewport could be added into my project (i see it is a possible project for soc on the wiki)
10:15:10Lloreansslashes: I think viewports would be relevant to your goal, yes.
10:15:12peturLinusN: re devcon: would landing at 21:45 be too late?
10:15:35sslasheswhen is amiconn normally around these parts?
10:15:36pondlifesslashes: Viewport is a more general thing, it should be treated as seperate development, but you may wish to do it as a pre-requisite.
10:15:51pondlifei.e. Viewports are not just for the WPS
10:16:05markunLlorean: the problem was that JPEG uses a different representation of YUV than MPEG (and everything else which uses the standard)

10:19:30markun(I think so)
10:19:32LloreanYeah, at least in my opinion
10:19:51LloreanIt looked a little undersaturated before, to me.
10:19:58markunyes, it was
10:20:32LloreanI had thought it was just the screen, I didn't realize it was something that could be fixed in code or I would've mentioned it. :)
10:21:15markunLlorean: the Y component had a offset of 16 which made black look like dark-gray
10:21:50XavierGrI just love this DAP! Video is awesome on that screen!
10:22:03XavierGrI must thank toffe, I owe him a great deal
10:22:14LloreanXavierGr: Try Markun's patch, it'll look even better. ;)
10:22:15markunand because the Y component has a range of 220 and the C components (U and V) of 225 we needed to scale them to get the full range

10:43:04markunbut at least the image should look the same now as if you are looking at a JPEG of the same frame
10:43:55Lloreanmarkun: What do you think isn't quite right?
10:46:34markunLlorean: it's just that when I calculate the max values for R, G and B they are 1.7, 1.5 and 1.8 (on a scale of 0 to 1) so you would think there would be a lot of clipping
10:48:07LloreanHm, I imagine there would
10:50:09Lloreanmarkun: What would clipping like that look like?
10:50:28markunLlorean: large white areas when it gets too bright
10:50:58LloreanSo, loss of detail when things would normally be "near" full red, blue, green, or a mix?
10:52:37markunI think I'm just confusing myself too much by staring at the formulas :)
10:52:48markunIt looks better now
10:53:10LloreanYeah
10:53:36LloreanIf it starts looking strange, it can be fixed.

11:20:42LinusNpondlife: the transplant was not the easiest, many pins on that sucker
11:21:01LloreanLynx_: 600 is quite high for the H300
11:21:12LloreanWas that what player you said you had?
11:21:44Lynx_Llorean: i just also tried with 100, and still get only 1 fps. i remember watching fluent videos with very early versions of mpegplayer
11:21:48Lynx_Llorean: a h300
11:22:03markunjhMikeS: the normalisation is done by changing the factors, I could change the comments to make that a bit clearer
11:22:14LloreanLynx_: The best the H300 ever got fullscreen was _maybe_ 15fps
11:22:39LloreanAnd that's under exceedingly ideal situations, without sound.
11:22:45Lynx_Llorean: hmm, ok. What I remember was without sound, too.
11:23:08LloreanYou should be encoding at 10fps
11:23:12Lynx_Llorean: But still I'm far below even 15 fps, and wondering what I'm doing wrong...
11:23:14firenxrockbox r0x0rs my b0x0rs
11:23:19LloreanLynx_: What is the file encoded at?
11:23:51LloreanLynx_: Turn off frameskip, turn off framerate limiting, and turn on the FPS display, and see what it says it's decoding at like that.
11:24:03Lynx_Llorean: 224x128, sound 128, 100 bitrate
11:24:11Lynx_k
11:24:13LloreanLynx_: What framerate?
11:24:19LloreanLynx_: What framerate is the file, rather?
11:24:20jhMikeSthe Cb, Cr should be scaled down by 224/256
11:24:47Lynx_Llorean: damn, i forgot to change the framerate down from 25, i guess that's too high
11:24:57markunjhMikeS: not 224/255?
11:25:14LloreanLynx_: Yes, that's far too high. What does rockbox decode at if you set the options as I described?
11:25:18markunand Y by 219/255?

11:29:02markun:)
11:29:19markunI was falling asleep as well when I worked on it last night
11:29:32LloreanLynx_: Then you can expect some frame skipping even with it encoded at 10fps, though I think the elephant's dream videos are encoded at a high bitrate
11:30:00Lynx_Llorean: ok, i'll play with the parameters some more
11:30:25*Soap wonders if the "slow" video-playing targets should use CBR for consistantcy, or if that wouldn't accomplish anything.
11:30:27LloreanLynx_: What OS are you on?
11:30:32Lynx_Llorean: win
11:30:48LloreanLynx_: Try the WinFF presets for H300 on the PluginMpegplayer page and let me know how they go
11:31:04Lynx_Llorean: k
11:31:28LloreanSoap: Right now all of the WinFF presets I've set up use a target bitrate instead of a quantization level

11:32:21SoapLlorean: I was thinking more about elephant's dream, which is highly VBR.
11:32:35LloreanLynx_: mencoder may not encode video at 15fps, it's not strictly speaking "legal" so you may have to figure out how to override it
11:32:37Soap(well the "wiki" encodes)
11:32:42Soapneither here nor there.
11:33:11LloreanSoap: Ah, well I think for those it doesn't matter. All we need to know is, when launched on target with the settings already set right, what does it say the FPS is at the end of the file. :)
11:33:33peturLinusN: 21:45 on friday, yes
11:33:38firenxhmm my backlight wont turn off its only set for 10 seconds..
11:33:46Soaptrue, with rebuffering now the FPS can actually me measured at the end of the file on all targets./
11:33:52CtcpIgnored 1 channel CTCP requests in 0 seconds at the last flood
11:33:52*jhMikeS is thinking maybe an asm lcd_write_yuv420_lines is in order to sharpen his ARM skills
11:33:59LloreanSoap: Well, right now there's a minor bug
11:34:16LloreanWhen you reach the end of the file, it keeps playing what's in the buffer from the last rebuffer.

11:34:31LloreanSo you get an endless loop of the last X minutes of your video, until you manually hit stop
11:34:41SoapI noticed that, but didn't investigate enough to submit a bug report yet.
11:34:49LloreanLinuxstb is quite aware of it
11:34:57linuxstbThat doesn't happen on all files though - I think it's when there isn't an end-of-stream packet in the file.
11:35:13Lloreanlinuxstb: Ah, I just know it happens on all of the files I've made. :)
11:35:27linuxstbElephants Dream stops fine for me...
11:35:45LloreanI hadn't tried that since rebuffering
11:36:13linuxstbafaik, mencoder doesn't need special options to encode at 15fps - it just does it.
11:36:53linuxstbSoap: Regarding benchmarking, the number of frames dropped in order to maintain a/v sync is a useful measure as well.
11:37:04linuxstb(that's the second number in the fps display line)

11:46:36pondlifepetur: lol
11:46:39jhMikeSwell, we could just have it write to frame at the same time we convert to memory since writing to mem should be faster, right?

11:47:49linuxstbjhMikeS: I'm not sure what you mean - the lcd_yuv_blit writes directly to FRAME now.
11:48:05jhMikeSbut frame is on the LCD bus or not?
11:48:08markunno
11:48:11linuxstbNo, FRAME is just SDRAM.
11:48:19jhMikeSok
11:48:38linuxstbIt's location is written to some registers in the LCD controller, and the LCD controller blits it to the LCD hardware.
11:48:51jhMikeSso what's with the dma blit stuff?
11:48:51linuxstb(at 25Hz)
11:48:58linuxstbThat's just a copy from RAM to RAM
11:49:14linuxstbThere are two framebuffers - the normall lcd_framebuffer[] and FRAME[].
11:49:35linuxstbThe lcd_update() calls copy from lcd_framebuffer to FRAME using DMA.

11:56:51Lloreanlinuxstb: For the Gigabeat then, might it be better to encode videos at 25fps, and allow the encoder to deal with framerate mismatch instead of the screen updates?
11:57:12linuxstbLlorean: There's one way to find out...
11:57:26Lloreanlinuxstb: Well, since you didn't say "No, that's a pretty stupid idea" I'll give it a shot. :)
11:57:37linuxstbBut I doubt the difference would be that noticable, so it's simpler to just keep the source framerate.
11:57:58linuxstbe.g. the ED video is 24fps, and looks very smooth to me.
11:58:20markunyes, my 24fps futurama episodes also look ok
11:58:31markunnot perfect
11:58:55LloreanYes, my TV shows look good.
11:59:26LloreanMy rip of gladiator has a little bit of an awkward jerky feel to it though, and I'm not sure yet what's causing it.i
11:59:33linuxstbbluebrother: Also, depending on which way the wind is blowing, rolo may load an IPL kernel which you've converted to ".ipod" format with tools/scramble -add=ipvd (replace ipvd with your ipod model)
12:00
12:02:29jhMikeS(y-16)*74 >> 9, and the like is easier than all that's going on there right now. that jpeg.c code isn't really speed oriented. the coldfire ones also save the chroma calcs for two full lines and just reload from a small mem buffer.
12:03:09Lloreanlinuxstb: Nah, no improvement by encoding at 25. If anything, it's worse.
12:04:16markunjhMikeS: interested in working on the gigabeat lcd driver?
12:04:26linuxstbjhMikeS: Are you interested in looking at the Coldfire optimisations to mpegplayer in flyspray and committing them? The IDCT patch, plus using IRAM (although the IRAM one doesn't work any more due to libmad needing IRAM as well).
12:05:03jhMikeSmarkun: I don't think I'll be able to resist it...the x5 one got me "in" in the first place
12:05:25markunjhMikeS: shall I commit my stuff until you replace it with yours?
12:05:33markunthe lack of the -16 was wrong anyway

12:10:19markunjhMikeS: no, but the OF is hardly a good showcase of what the hardware is capable of
12:11:11jhMikeShow do we know what it's capable of? it there any OF for any device that uses it fully? maybe that should REd if do.

12:13:10markun(3 if you count backlight off)
12:13:52jhMikeSI was just thinking there some other devices that were marketed that used that lcd and used the controller more thoroughly or something.
12:14:25jhMikeSperhaps not even a DAP
12:14:51markunjhMikeS: I was not refering to OFs in general, just to the Gigabeat one.
12:15:15Lloreanbluebrother: Feature requests for "Please finish (incomplete thing)" are safe to close, I think
12:15:26LloreanWith "Invalid" in my mind. "Hurry up" isn't a feature.
12:15:39jhMikeSright...me too...but some other device that shares that hardware and has OF that could tell us more about it maybe
12:15:43peturaliask: did you really intend to give an 8 to that GSOC application?

12:18:01markunjhMikeS: I believe the Gigabeat S uses the same LCD module as the X, the F and X use the same LCD kernel module, so they should have the same controller chip.
12:19:17jhMikeStoshiba has lcd chips that are documented?

14:42:54liberty_Is it possible to PLAY a cue sheet,not just displaying it?
14:43:37luckzI didn't know rockbox could display cue sheet content.
14:43:55PaulJamHave you enabled the option to use cuesheets in rockbox?
14:44:03Lloreanluckz: They're just text files.
14:44:12liberty_Yes it can display it just llike a musik.
14:44:16LloreanBut yeah, cuesheets should automatically be loaded if their filename matches the audio file, and they're enabled.
14:44:22liberty_It can parse the cue sheet.
14:44:30Lloreanyou run the audio file, not the cuesheet, I believe
14:44:59luckzwell, having cue sheet stuff in my playlist makes rockbox be confused for a bit and then skip the tracks in question, here

14:45:41liberty_The name matches,CD.mp3 and CD.cue
14:45:42bluebrotheryou add the audio file to the playlist, not the cue sheet
14:46:20luckzhow does rockbox format that inside playlists?
14:46:34bluebrotherit doesn't.
14:46:37luckzI had reasonably bad experiences with most possible playlist creation options
14:46:56bluebrotherit displays the tracks inside of the cue as markers in the progress bar
14:47:00bluebrother(AFAIK)
14:47:01luckzuh. k.
14:47:21luckzthat's not really useful for me, then. I'd need to have single tracks as single playlist entries.
14:47:37bluebrotherI would prefer having it as multiple entries in the playlist, but it doesn't work that way atm.
14:47:37LloreanWhy?
14:47:41luckzbut okay, I didn't know that.
14:47:51PaulJamroolku: do you think it is save to just revert the change locally, or does some recent change rely on that commit.

14:48:28*bluebrother never understood the need for cue sheets as there are enough file formats that support gapless encoding
14:48:46Lloreanbluebrother: Heck, nowadays even the non-gapless formats can do it if you try hard enough. :)
14:49:04bluebrotherright, but that's more work ;-)
14:49:09LloreanYeah
14:49:14Lloreanluckz: So, why can't you split the file/
14:49:15Llorean?
14:49:21roolkuPaulJam: completely safe
14:49:31PaulJamthank you
14:50:13luckzfor one I naiively expect that lossy mp3 would get even more lossy then, though I know there's some lossless mp3 splitting app - did not get round to trying that one yet
14:50:24luckz(one that claims to be, at least)
14:50:27liberty_Still don't get how to play it. The cue infomation didn't display when playing.
14:50:53bluebrotheryou can split mp3 files lossless when splitting at frame boundaries.
14:51:05bluebrotherwhat do you expect to display, and what gets displayed?
14:51:44PaulJamliberty_: have you enabled cuesheet support in the playback options?
14:52:11liberty_Emm? settings?
14:52:25bluebrotherliberty_: remember you need to reboot for this setting to take effect (iirc)
14:52:26roolkuPaulJam: the actual bug is that it uses the wrong index on stop and tries to record the runtime info for the second to last track, however it doesn't actually do it, as it keeps track of the fact that it already has

15:00:48kynesmarkun : but it doesn't play wma or any other than mp3
15:00:49Lloreankynes: Players get supported if people who own the players make the effort to port to them.
15:00:59bluebrotherkynes: Rockbox doesn't play wma either
15:01:02markunkynes: http://www.rockbox.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/NewPort
15:01:05linuxstbkynes: Supporting a player in Rockbox is a _LOT_ of work - only a very small number of players (those with owners who chose to invest the months of time needed to port Rockbox) will ever be supported.
15:01:25kynesLlorean : I would do my best but I don't know exactly how to develop a firmware
15:01:32BigBambiLlorean: OK, I finally fixed it - Zoom Player thought the MPEG2 file was MPEG1, and thus using the wrong filter. When I manually changed the graphs so that MPEG1 also use ffdshow, it played correctly
15:01:41LinusNkynes: then it's not for you...
15:01:41kynesLlorean : I have embedded software development experience but just for PIC 16f877
15:02:01LinusNkynes: that's as good as anything
15:02:18LinusNyou need to take it apart and find out as much as you can about the hardware
15:02:22LloreanBigBambi: Alright, so the question becomes "what caused it to be mis-identified". What was the framerate on the file?
15:02:51kynesLinusN : I'd take it apart if it was not the only player I had :)
15:02:53BigBambiLlorean: One mo, I'll check (25 fps I think)
15:03:02liberty_I've heard of Iaudio X5 dual bootloader.Is there one for M5?
15:03:20Lloreanliberty_: There's not an official one for the X5, nor M5.
15:03:52luckzrockbox doesn't support .fpl, does it?
15:03:54BigBambiLlorean: I don't have the original with me, but the converted one is 25 fps (and I don't think WinFF changes that - I didn't tell it to anyway)
15:04:05Lloreanluckz: The only playlist format it supports is m3u/m3u8
15:04:08luckzofficial dual bootloader seems hard to do due to licensing things with the original firmware
15:04:16kynesLinusN : oh... tracing with multimeter and reverse engineering the scheme? a lot of work..
15:04:28LloreanBigBambi: WinFF shouldn't change it, no, I was just wondering if it was being converted to a weird framerate or something.
15:04:31kynesLinusN : I appreciate your work then..
15:04:39BigBambiDoesn't seem to be

15:06:34kynesluckz : :)
15:06:54LloreanWe'll never support DRM'ed WMA, and if it's content you own you should probably encode it into a better format anyway.
15:07:01BigBambiLlorean: When I look at file inormation in virtualdub, the decompressor info is missing. Could it be that the FourCC code (or whatever it is) isn't being set and so Zoom Player gets confused, but ffdshow autodetects regardless?
15:07:09LloreanIt's possible that Rockbox will support WMA in the future though. Someday.
15:07:18Nico_PLinusN: my latest mail to the dev mailing list has a question about the archos player that's mostly directed to you and Bagder. I thought I'd mention it here because I just noticed it's not very visible and you might miss it
15:08:27linuxstbBigBambi, Llorean: Maybe the issue is the Program Stream packets in the stream - IIUC, there are both MPEG-1 and MPEG-2 program streams. mpegplayer handles both types, but maybe the issue is that ffmpeg is producing an MPEG-1 program stream containing an MPEG-2 video stream.

15:08:58LloreanBigBambi: ffmpeg gives me the option to force a vtag/fourcc and atag/fourcc, do you think it should, or do you think that qualifies as a problem on the other player's end, since we're encoding the videos strictly for Rockbox anyway?
15:09:09LloreanOr it could be what linuxstb said
15:10:32BigBambiLlorean: tbh, I don't know. I was guessing, it could also be what linuxstb said. I'm not too worried as it works on target. The problem is that I encoded it 5 times or something as I tested it on the PC after conversion and it didn't work, so I assumed the file was incorrect. Now I know it isn't a problem, but we might get quite a few 'support' problems
15:11:25linuxstbWell, vlc is free and cross-platform - we should probably recommend that as the test-player for Rockbox mpegplayer problems.
15:11:28BigBambiLlorean: How do you force a fourcc? I could test and see if that is the solution. If it is, I don't see the harm in doing it
15:11:32Lloreanlinuxstb: There's a "format" for mpeg2video, but I don't know if that's just an m2v. Formats seem to include container/stream formats, since that's where you specify MP4, etc.

15:12:54LloreanAh
15:12:58LloreanYeah, VLC would work fine for that
15:12:59BigBambiLlorean: we could say as first answer to "The encoding doesn't work, it's all rubbish" to try it in VLC

15:14:26LloreanBigBambi: Yeah, that works for me.
15:14:30linuxstbBTW, fourcc codes have nothing to do with mpeg files - they're just used internally by video players, and in AVI files, amongst other things. But they're not stored in mpeg files.
15:14:57BigBambilinuxstb: OK, cool it was just a guess :)
15:15:07linuxstbSee here - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FourCC
15:15:23Lloreanlinuxstb: I don't see any way to choose anything but transport stream, leading me to assume "mpeg2video" and "mpeg1video" formats are the program stream formats.
15:15:49linuxstbLlorean: Choose in what?
15:15:49BigBambiCheers
15:16:24Lloreanlinuxstb: When encoding a video.
15:16:37LloreanI don't do anything to set the "format" right now, basically letting ffmpeg pick the stream.
15:16:57linuxstbLLorean: Ah, so you mean in ffmpeg?
15:17:00LloreanYeah
15:17:47LloreanI guess though if it's creating files that are technically valid, I shouldn't tinker with it.
15:19:05BigBambiLlorean: I think it is OK, as they all work fine in rockbox, and we can tell people to check in VLC

15:30:25LloreanAnd it's always the same "Well you SHOULD support it" "But it's not ours, AND it causes bugs in our software when it loads it if it's not the absolute right version"
15:30:36linuxstbWhy don't we just ignore requests for info about loader2, and allow people who _do_ use it to answer?
15:30:51Lloreanlinuxstb: That's been the usual process.
15:31:07linuxstbLlorean: Not really - there are always lots of messages saying "we don't support it"....
15:31:13pondlifeIs this an IPL thing?
15:31:29Lloreanlinuxstb: Yeah, but we don't support it. But we do leave the threads open, and allow anyone else to answer.
15:31:33linuxstbYes, it's the ipodlinux bootloader, which lots of people prefer as it has a pretty menu to choose what to boot.
15:31:50pondlifeWell, suggest they go to IPL for help
15:31:59Lloreanpondlife: "Their forums suck" is the usual response.

15:32:21LinusNyeah, if i had to choose between a pretty bootloader or a working rockbox, i'd choose the pretty bootloader any day :-P
15:32:32pondlifeSo they want to make our forums suck too??
15:32:36LloreanThe problem is that Loader2 also doesn't run Rockbox properly unless you're using one of the newest versions, which I think aren't clearly linked/distributed.
15:32:42bluebrotheryes! Make our forums suck!

15:36:22bluebrotherhmm, that's UK, isn't it?
15:36:40desowinit gives you another few hours of work
15:37:02Lloreanlinuxstb: I don't feel every thread needs to have an official response. I just want people to know Loader2 isn't "supported" much like the X5 dual boot isn't "supported". Because one day it *could* cause strange behaviour, and I don't want anyone to be confused about it's status when I ask if anything is non-standard.
15:38:11LloreanThere are already people who don't recognize that loader 2 and the rockbox bootloader are different things.
15:39:42LloreanBut I mean, why answer Loader2 questions, but not, say, original firmware questions then?
15:41:59pondlifeWe shouldn't answer OF questions either...
15:42:32linuxstbI'm not saying to answer them, but just to ignore them. I understand the need to make sure people know they're doing something unsupported though...
15:43:05Lloreanlinuxstb: And that's all I try to do at first. I've even told people "It should work if you just extract Rockbox into your fat32 partition, but for further help you'll need to contact the providers of loader2"

15:59:31GodEater_Llorean: I tend to agree with linuxstb, I think in future if a loader 2 thread shows up, all the usual suspects should avoid posting to it UNLESS it gets to the point where it's clear loader2 may be contributing to another problem the user is having.
15:59:56LloreanGodEater_: I think it needs to be clear that "If you're using Loader2, it's just like you're using an unsupported build"
16:00
16:00:16FebsPerhaps we should dedicate a thread to Loader2 issues.
16:00:19LloreanMaybe just create a Loader2 thread in the unsupported builds forum...
16:00:19GodEater_I think we've made that fairly clear now - I don't think we need to repeat it in every thread it shows up in
16:00:26FebsGreat minds think alike.
16:00:33GodEater_hehehe - you two twins ? :)
16:00:41LloreanGodEater_: The problem is, most times if a new thread pops up on loader 2 it's explicitly *because* they haven't read the other ones

16:01:13GodEater_Llorean: also true, but we can still ignore them. Eventually even the dumbest user will work out they have to search
16:01:20GodEater_OR someone who uses Loader2 will answer them

16:01:44GodEater_instead of "Loader2"
16:01:46LloreanFebs: I'll start a thread.
16:01:50Lloreanlinuxstb: But we can just link them to it.
16:02:03linuxstbYes, but it would be better if people saw it before posting...
16:02:18GodEater_linuxstb: you're asking too much now :)
16:02:58 Quit Soap (Read error: 110 (Connection timed out))
16:03:12linuxstbI don't like to suggest it, but maybe a sticky in the Apple Installation forum, with a link to the Loader2 thread in the Unsupported Builds - and maybe other links like the ipodlinux.org Loader2 page as well.
16:03:32linuxstb(and a short statement saying it's unsupported)
16:04:25*GodEater_ wonders if we could change the "new thread" form to FORCE a search before it allows a new thread...
16:05:12LloreanThoughts? http://forums.rockbox.org/index.php?topic=9658.0
16:05:54Lloreanlinuxstb: Nobody reads the existing stickies, I think it's highly unlikely. Maybe adding it to the POSTING IN THIS FORUM thread, but I really, really don't want to have 3 stickies in the Ipod Installation forum
16:06:27pondlifeLlorean: looks good
16:06:49GodEater_Llorean: the "My ipod install went wrong thread" has 3000+ views...
16:07:00GodEater_that's a far cry from "no-one reads them"

16:07:16linuxstbLlorean: Yes, it looks good. I'm not sure what you mean about extracting loader2 for re-installation using ipodpatcher - all it can do is to backup and restore the entire partition.
16:07:35Lloreanlinuxstb: Oh, I thought it had an extract bootloader to go with add bootloader.
16:07:36 Join Arathis [0] (n=doerk@p54849FE9.dip0.t-ipconnect.de)
16:07:37LloreanI'll fix that
16:07:37FebsI suggest the following revision to the first sentence of the second paragraph: Loader 2 is not a Rockbox product, and therefore we cannot provide official support for it. While not strictly a build, Loader 2 can cause unexpected behaviour in Rockbox.
16:08:06GodEater_I'd also put in an invitation asking for someone to write a wiki page for it...
16:08:37Lloreanlinuxstb: Changed the instructions regarding ipodpatcher, correct now?
16:08:41FebsI also suggest spelling out "ipodlinux" and/or "ipod linux" somewhere in the post to increase the chances people can find the thread by searching.
16:09:01FebsNevermind, I see it in the last sentence.
16:09:27linuxstbAnd maybe vary the spellings - "loader2", "loader 2" "ipl" etc
16:10:24LloreanFebs: Incorporated your changes.
16:10:38LloreanAlso now "iPod Linux" "ipodlinux" "ipl" "loader 2" and "loader2" all show up in there.
16:10:57LloreanI've also updated the Apple Installation's "POSTING IN THIS FORUM" post.

16:11:54linuxstbOK, so now we can forget about it...
16:12:15pondlifeForget about what? ;)
16:12:17LloreanIndeed, policy has been set: Redirect them politely to the one topical thread.
16:13:16linuxstbWhich of course will soon become too long to be of use to anyone.... But hopefully a wiki page will come out of it.
16:13:54Lloreanlinuxstb: I'll try to clean it up from time to time, if it gets bad.
16:14:08LloreanContrary to popular belief, I don't just troll the forums to yell at people. :)
16:14:14GodEater_I think we should just ask the iPL dev team to quietly remove support for Rockbox ;)
16:14:52linuxstbWell, moving the binary into .rockbox has broken the automatic detection...
16:15:06GodEater_true
16:15:30GodEater_I don't know how true it is when most users complain the iPL team don't support Loader2 very well
16:16:03GodEater_but if that *is* the case then I don't think it would be an unreasonable request on our part
16:16:11GodEater_provided we did it politely

16:18:29LloreanGodEater_: I don't mind iPL Loader 2 working to load Rockbox.
16:18:40LloreanI just mind the expectation from users that we're obligated to help with it if it fouls up.
16:18:54GodEater_we can't do anything about that expectation though
16:19:07GodEater_asking people not to have it clearly doesn't work =/
16:19:26perl|workLlorean morning, any new encoding discoveries, etc?
16:19:46Lloreanperl|work: Well, H300 runs slower than expected nowadays.
16:20:06perl|workcant keep it in sync?
16:20:12LloreanYeah, so it seems
16:20:28LloreanBut I hear there's some optimizations waiting in the wings anyway
16:20:48linuxstbThey are, but no-one's looked at them...
16:21:11Lloreanlinuxstb: But that's better than "nobody's written them"
16:21:16linuxstbI probably can now that mpegplayer runs on the h1x0, but I don't know Coldfire assembly at all.
16:22:00perl|workLlorean how about lower video bitrates?
16:22:24Lloreanperl|work: This was a 100 video with 80 audio, apparently. Only 7fps
16:22:36 Quit Stalwart (Remote closed the connection)
16:22:57linuxstbIs that 7fps with frameskip/limit fps enabled, or running at full-speed without any a/v sync?
16:23:12perl|workoh i see
16:23:12Lloreanlinuxstb: Full speed.
16:23:30linuxstbIs that the ED test?
16:23:39LloreanNo, he encoded a low bitrate file.
16:23:45LloreanI don't know how ED performs, unfortunately.
16:24:06linuxstbIt would be useful if someone could test ED - the wiki says that decodes at 11fps.
16:24:09linuxstb(4:3 version)
16:24:40linuxstbIt's possible that all the a/v sync code is slowing it down, but I wouldn't expect anything more than 1fps, if that.

16:24:50XavierGrok just confirming before I do anything silly: does F40 has the same adapter as H300?
16:25:03GodEater_XavierGr: you mean USB cable ?
16:25:05XavierGrboth are rated at 5v center positive
16:25:13XavierGrno charging adapter
16:25:28GodEater_ah - no idea
16:25:43webguest80In a Sansa e200, when you boot to the OF, is it normal for the bootloader screen to fade to white?
16:25:44Lloreanlinuxstb: The last A/V sync change (not counting the less aggressive frameskip) definitely added some overhead.
16:26:53Lloreanlinuxstb: That slightly oversized 30fps file on the nano played better prior to that sync change, and seemed to stay in sync. The one you described as compensating for PTS drift
16:27:17LloreanBut I'd rather consistent sync on all files at the cost of a little performance, if it comes tot that question
16:27:48linuxstbThere's possibly room for optimising that code, but I obviously want to get it working correctly first.
16:27:56LloreanMakes plenty of sense, yes. :)
16:30:00*linuxstb looks around for a H300 owner to test how fast the 224x176 Elephants Dream test video is being decoded with Limit FPS and Skip Frames turned off...
16:30:17XavierGrI can test that
16:30:24XavierGrlink for that file? :\
16:30:44linuxstbhttp://mikachu.rockbox.org/elephantsdream-q6-224x176-469kbps.mpg
16:31:06linuxstb"Tests are performed by enabling the Show FPS option and disabling the Limit FPS and Skip Frames options in mpegplayer, playing the video, and then waiting for the FPS to stabilise. Please round the FPS to the nearest whole number."
16:31:07Llorean469, wow..
16:31:55linuxstbQuality is nice though...
16:32:06LloreanYeah
16:32:21webguest80I'll try my question another time... thanks.
16:32:29LloreanBut at 400 quality is "okay" on my Gigabeat, and that's single pass. :)
16:32:40Lloreanwebguest80: The answer was "yes"
16:32:59linuxstbLlorean: You mean it's a known bug?
16:33:08webguest80Missed that somehow. Thank you, Llorean.
16:33:17Lloreanwebguest80: You didn't miss it, I missed your question.
16:33:22linuxstbI assume it's not what we would want "normal" to be...
16:33:51GodEater_ Llorean: how much leeway do we have with the template the forum uses ?
16:33:51Lloreanlinuxstb: Yeah, something to do with the LCD driver. It bugs out and does a fade to white sometimes during playback (everything else works, LCD stops updating) and it also happens when you try to boot the original FW, but once the OF boots everythign is fine.
16:34:00webguest80That aside, all works fine so I can live with it if you can. :-)
16:34:07Lloreanlinuxstb: The LCD drive on the Sansas still has a LOT of work to go, I believe

16:34:57Lloreanperl|work: Not yet.
16:35:21Lloreanperl|work: I'm actually encoding some files I want at very high quality at 2-pass 600, then I'm going to try some experimentation with a few small clips of The Fifth Element.
16:35:43perl|worki tired few more with 400, i didnt like them
16:35:45LloreanI have high bitrate DVD of it, the Sony "Superbit" brand, and it's a very colorful, high motion movie, seems to me like it'd be good for testing.

16:36:52smably(don't know whether the H300 adapter can provide enough current)
16:37:04Lloreanperl|work: For example, try -qscale 6.0
16:38:05perl|workwas about to try last night
16:38:12perl|workbut the battery died
16:38:24perl|workwould be interesting to see as well
16:38:53LloreanFor the gigabeat at least, using -qscale might be better since we've got more elbow room to work with in a lot of cases.

16:40:58XavierGrthe rating on both devices is the same
16:41:04XavierGrthey just need 5v center positive
16:41:20perl|workLlorean i remember some command for 1-pass complexity there
16:41:20Lloreanperl|work: qmin and qmax should be used with a bitrate, rather than a qscale though, right?
16:41:42perl|workLlorean it should

16:44:22GodEater_I was wondering if that might encourage people to use the search function more often
16:44:24perl|workLlorean yes im looking for it right now
16:44:39smablyBigBambi: but it might have some sort of current limiting for USB charging... (i don't really know what i'm talking about, though) :)
16:44:41GodEater_if you think it might, I'll have a look at SMF's PHP and submit a patch (if I can)
16:44:54XavierGrsmably: that rating is almost irrelevant. I am sure that a DAP won't ever draw more than 500-700mah
16:45:02LloreanGodEater_: It might.
16:45:11LloreanI don't think it'd be at all hard to add.
16:45:13smablyXavierGr: ok
16:45:17BigBambiThe current rating on a power supply is the maximum that supply can handle
16:45:25GodEater_I just think that the current search button is kind of lost in the noise
16:45:26markunBigBambi, smably: yes, it limits the current
16:45:28BigBambiNot what it always puts out
16:45:38LloreanGodEater_: Yeah, it very well could be.
16:45:39GodEater_you can find it easily enough if you really look for it - but it doesn't really leap out at you
16:46:33smablyBigBambi: right - i just thought it might draw a lot of current when charging, which could fry the adapter or something. but apparently that's wrong, so never mind! :)

17:26:49linuxstbThat's going to be a tricky install process for users ;)
17:26:53toffe82but we have to buy it in europ , no way to find a cheap one here

17:28:03toffe82ther is no updater available for the S
17:29:12toffe82or we need somebody knowing the mtp protocol , there must be a way to upload the files, the updater do it

17:34:52pondlifeFixes it for me at least...
17:35:42toffe82I think that the mtp problem will be the same for all the player unsing pmc (zen M, gigabeat S..) If think that if we find how to update files for one, it should work for the other one
17:38:12linuxstbpondlife: Looks reasonable to me, but I don't know what the side-effects of that could be...

17:57:57toffe82saratoga: when you use the updater on the zen, you have to do something first on the zen or it is all from the pc ?

18:32:15markunyes
18:32:48kurbjunkI was wondering if you could clarify the gigabeat port pins for the ATA and USB2 ATA interface. specifically I am trying to understand what the GPGIO pins do (pins 10-12)
18:33:02roolkuNico_P: I'll try to find out if any of the single byte code pages have characters with 3 byte representations
18:33:35Nico_Proolku: ok :)

18:33:57 Quit Ribs ("Ex-Chat")
18:34:01roolkuNico_P: the double byte ones translating into 3 bytes should not be a problem
18:34:29kurbjunkI havn't gotten a chance to try the patch on the gigabeat pressue sensativity yet btw
18:34:57markunkurbjunk: I don't know exactly what each pin does
18:35:12markunkurbjunk: I guess you know this page? http://www.rockbox.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/GigabeatPortPins#Port_G
18:35:32kurbjunkyep, I was looking at that but the pin descriptions are a bit vague
18:35:36markunyes
18:35:59markunit's from the disassembly and I didn't update those
18:36:09kurbjunkI gotcha
18:36:26kurbjunkdo you know if anyone would know the specifics of the pins?
18:36:42markuntoffe82: you?
18:36:44toffe82kurbjunk: check the dock of the usb chip
18:36:58toffe82wait
18:37:00kurbjunkI was looking at that as well
18:37:50kurbjunkthe block diagram seems to indicate aht one gpio is for power control, but the port pins doesn't seem to indicate which one clearly

18:42:06kurbjunkdoesn't HDD spindown usually happen with an ATA command though.. that's what's confusing to me
18:42:22kurbjunkand the bus switch in the block diagram, what controls that?
18:42:40toffe82markun: yes
18:43:00 Quit lostnihilist ("Leaving")
18:43:03toffe82but when is it supposed to be off ?
18:43:15markunkurbjunk: we once had a 'bit twiddler' in the bootloader for debugging which was nice for trying out what each pin did
18:43:26kurbjunkit should always poweroff on spindown at least I think that's what the irivers do
18:43:43markunyes, that's what it is supposed to do
18:43:54markunbut maybe we are setting the wrong pin
18:44:02kurbjunkthat's what I was thinking
18:44:07toffe82I will check
18:44:14kurbjunkbecause right now I think the code is pin 11
18:44:23markuntoffe82: you could try to change the power down pin to 12 in power-meg-fx.c to compare
18:45:02roolkuNico_P: as far as i can tell thai, turkish and japanese could be a problem
18:45:13kurbjunkmarkun, did you notice the two clicks on the gigabeat on startup, I was able to get rid of one by adding that code in #gigabeat on startup

18:46:09kurbjunkthat I posted it
18:48:03markunok, I saw it
18:48:36markunmaybe we just cut the power instead or resetting?

20:02:30Iskandara broken folder and a weblink
20:03:15Iskandarjust this
20:03:54linuxstbOK, go to this page: http://www.felixbruns.de/iPod/firmware/ and select "Nano 1G 17.1.3.1" from the list, and download the file.
20:04:34Iskandarand after ?
20:04:47Iskandar(I hasn't got the complete file yet)
20:05:08linuxstbYou will need to unzip it - it will be called .ipsw, but it is a zip file.
20:05:34linuxstbYou will then have a file called something like "Firmware-X.Y.Z".
20:05:34Iskandarand place it in the root of the iPod ?
20:05:37Iskandarok
20:05:38linuxstbNo
20:05:46Iskandarwith dd?
20:05:51desowindd it into /dev/sdf1
20:06:01Iskandarok
20:06:02linuxstbYou need to run the command "dd if=Firmware-X.Y.Z of=/dev/sdf1"
20:06:12Iskandarthank you
20:06:22IskandarWhen I will have the complete file, I will do this
20:06:36linuxstbThat should restore the Apple firmware to your ipod.
20:07:23IskandarBut I want Rockbox and, if I can, iPodLinux both!
20:08:57linuxstbYes, but the first step is to make your ipod work again...
20:09:03IskandarI will just reinstall Rockbox for this?
20:09:06IskandarYes, of course
20:10:07linuxstbI can't help you install ipodlinux, but to install Rockbox you will simply need to run ipodpatcher and select "i" for install, and then download rockbox.zip and unzip that to your ipod's FAT32 partition.
20:10:36Iskandarok
20:11:14Iskandarplease, don't left, it is possible to me to ask you other things
20:11:28desowinIskandar: my advice for installing iPodlinux is to do linux parition by hand, iPodlinux installer always broken up my iPod's partition table

21:07:35JavaMan22the first rpg
21:07:37TrueJournalsgood luck
21:07:43JavaMan22why is it hard
21:07:49JavaMan22it cant be
21:08:04JavaMan22my first one will be basically all text hehe
21:08:04TrueJournalsI don't know
21:08:08TrueJournalsI don't code C
21:08:17TrueJournalsor java for that matter
21:08:28TrueJournalsjust seems like a big project
21:08:33JavaMan22i just wish compiling didnt take so long
21:08:38IskandarRuby and Python are good
21:08:46TrueJournalsJavaMan22: what are you using to compile?
21:08:47***Saving seen data "./dancer.seen"
21:08:49bluebrotherIskandar: you get a codec failure if you mixed up rockbox.ipod and the .rockbox folder. Just install again.
21:08:50JavaMan22if compiling didnt take so long i would be more motivated to do stuff
21:08:55JavaMan22cygqin
21:08:56bluebrother(only rockbox.zip)
21:08:59JavaMan22cygwin
21:09:05TrueJournalsI would reccomend switching to VMWare
21:09:11desowinIskandar: don't try to run ruby or python on rockbox targets ;-)
21:09:27Iskandaryes
21:09:32TrueJournalsI started using cygwin, it took like half an hour to compile... using VMWare, it took about 5 minutes (if that)
21:09:35Iskandarbut to write a game, it is good
21:09:56JavaMan22well it takes 4 min to compile for me
21:09:58Iskandardon't use VMWare, TrueJournals , use VirtualBox
21:10:04TrueJournalsI do, actually :-p
21:10:23TrueJournalsBut, I had to make my own machine and it was kindof a pain... there's a VMWare machine that anyone can easily download

22:15:15IskandarWhy rockbox don't work in the iPod nano v2 ?
22:15:34BagderIskandar: because nobody has made it work on it
22:15:44perl|workBigMac change it to something, avoid desktop and default windows folders
22:16:07IskandarAnd when it will be supported ?
22:16:34BigMacI tried several folders
22:16:37BigMacstill no go
22:16:55BagderIskandar: when someone makes rockbox run on it, it might take a while
22:16:55FebsWe generally don't answer questions that begin with "when?"
22:17:11IskandarOK
22:17:19bluebrotherhmm. Prices for flights are quite jumpy ...
22:17:50IskandarSo, it's possible tu run Rockbox on iPod nano?
22:18:03BagderIskandar: on the 1st gen nano, yes
22:18:26perl|workBigMac ok one last thing
22:18:46perl|workBigMac check if winFF folder is write protected
22:18:51BigMacnone of these files will play in vlc though
22:18:52Iskandarand on the 2rd generations ?
22:18:59bluebrotherIskandar: no.
22:19:17perl|workBigMac aha, thats something
22:19:24perl|workwhat happens when you try?
22:19:27XavierGrthe gigabeat surely needs a lot of work in the keymap definition...
22:19:37XavierGrmany of the combos are unusable
22:19:40BagderIskandar: you already asked why it isn't working, so why ask again if it works?
22:19:41cropBagder: does a WPS have to exist for all screen sizes supported by RB in order to be included into the official pack?
22:19:45BigMacI see no video
22:19:45perl|workXavierGr whats wrong with its keymaps?
22:19:48BigMacI hear audio
22:19:54BigMacbut it plays in mplayer
22:19:55perl|workBigMac is the slider moving?
22:19:59BigMacyah
22:20:01perl|workis there sound?
22:20:06BigMacyah
22:20:28Bagdercrop: yes, but we're also reluctant to add anymore at all since we just want to ship a few in the bundle and provide the rest via rockbox-themes.org, the wiki or similar
22:20:33XavierGrand the most annoying occurance was with battery_bench. when loaded battery_bench would ask for power to exit but then when you released the power button batter_bench would run once again cause of the release action
22:20:45XavierGrperl|work: try to page scroll
22:21:06perl|workXavierGr ha i think i never tried that really
22:21:27XavierGralso it is like Llorean said, different keys do different things from what other targets with about the same layout of buttons do
22:21:31bluebrothercrop: how about adjusting the shpped themes for players they haven't been adjusted to?
22:22:00perl|workBigMac ffmpeg is having problems with them in general then

22:23:17cropBagder: OK. I've just found a simple non graphical WPS that would work with many fonts. But it was originally written for H120 (which suits me). And I thought it could also be included into the pack. There is no rwps though.
22:23:18perl|workid like to check them
22:23:28BigMacUmm it is a few megs

22:39:58BigMacoh I can convert from mp4?
22:40:12bluebrothermaybe you want to pick a different irc client? The web client isn't too convenient ;-)

22:48:29perl|workyou might need a latest version of ffmpeg.exe though, depends on the file
22:51:05cropbluebrother: I've verified it on the sim. And then on target. Follow playlist works if you navigate to a file and play it. But if you start playback after the dap was switched on it doesn't
22:51:37cropI.e. you resume playback at the position that was started at shut down
22:52:05cropDo you experience the same?
22:52:10|Rincewind|I just tried it on my h120 and confirm what crop says

23:13:19spahijahm... its a 2nd gen Ipod ( not mini ) 15 GB drive
23:13:28spahijalemme show you a picture
23:13:55spahijahttp://www.satsig.net/ipod-u2-special-edition.jpg
23:13:55bluebrothergreyscale lcd?
23:14:06spahijayes
23:14:20peturafaik, 2nd gen isn't supported, even 3rd gen is barely supported
23:14:22bluebrothermight be identical to the G4.
23:14:39bluebrotheryou could just try to run ipodpatcher and look if it finds an ipod and what it reports.
23:14:51spahijapetur, yeah I thought that too
23:15:01spahijabluebrother, getting it on monday
23:15:05 Quit kkurbjun (Read error: 110 (Connection timed out))
23:15:17bluebrotherok, found something on wikipedia ... seems to be identical to 4G.
23:15:26spahijabluebrother, oh ?
23:15:29spahijacool
23:15:33spahijaso there is a chance
23:15:38peturerr... that pic surely isn't an ipod 2nd gen is it?
23:16:03spahijapetur, well guy that I bought it from said it is
23:16:20spahijait has 15 GB drive so I guess its correct version
23:16:43peturhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ipod#Models
23:16:57bluebrotherthe 2G has a different "wheel"
23:17:21bluebrotherbut your picture shows a click wheel which was introduced with the 4G
23:17:31spahijawell as I said its a spec edition ...
23:17:42spahijabut will know for sure on monday
23:17:53spahijamanday
23:18:16spahijaoops...sorry about that

23:19:02perl|workold one is 4g 15gb
23:19:11perl|workaka ipod photo
23:19:15bluebrotherunless you let ipodpatcher write anything it's safe to try detecting the ipod
23:19:32bluebrotherwasn't the photo colored? ;-)
23:19:53perl|workcolored?
23:20:10spahijaI have a huge collection of ogg files and hope that it can play it with rockbox

23:26:49perl|workspahija yes theres an older one, without the color display
23:26:53perl|worki just checked
