00:55:54kramdraive been reading some c tutorials, but i cant find anything about how to use a structure set up by another .c file... if somone knows of a plugin/source file which does this i should be able to work it out.. this is what i did earlyer http://paste-it.net/1798
00:56:51kramdraim used to single file asm code.. not that im any good at that either
01:00
01:00:37ceaserkramdra: if the structure is in another .c file, thats not being #included
01:00:41ceaserkramdra: you have to mark it extern
01:00:49ceaserkramdra: err wait
01:02:42kramdrayeah im bit confused... if i include the header, then thats just the stucture but not the adress of the stucture, but didnt think you can #include the .c file?
01:02:44ceaserkramdra: is the structure TYPE set up by the .c file? or just a structure
01:03:07ceaserkramdra: i mean, technically you can, but you generally don't want to

01:03:42ceaserkramdra: .c file, with the type set up in a header file somewhere
01:04:01ceaserkramdra: if thats the case, then you just mark the declaration of that structure 'extern' and you can use it outside of that .c file
01:04:18kramdra"struct mp3entry is defined in file firmware/export/id3.h" from docs/plugin_api

01:05:00ceaser*paste
01:05:13ceaseryou're declaring those structs static
01:05:21ceaserthat means you can't access them outside of that .c file

02:17:24tchani.e. .rockbox/rockbox.gigabeat instead of in /rockbox.gigabeat and similarly .rockbox/rockbox.ipod ??

02:20:07tchanso its now safe to remove the older firmware(s) in root ?
02:20:47LloreanAs long as you've got one in the folder, yeah.
02:22:07tchanThis wiki page is slightly wrong now: http://www.rockbox.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/GigabeatFXPort as it says "There must be a file in the root named rockbox.gigabeat: X:\rockbox.gigabeat"

11:06:07GodEater_daniel1234: describe what you do, and what happens.

11:07:20bluebrotherdaniel1234: are you trying emergency disk mode?
11:07:35daniel1234i did the hold thing but as soon as the ipod screen went dark I pressed play and select
11:07:49scorcheerrrr.....ignore me
11:07:59bluebrotherhold thing?
11:08:17scorchei said ignore me!...i am involved in too many conversations =/
11:08:48scorchedaniel1234: if your ipod will not go into disk mode, something is seriously wrong with it....which makes us think that you are doing something wrong
11:09:27bluebrotherscorche: I was referring to daniel1234 mentioning some "hold thing"
11:09:51scorchebluebrother: that was off some comment i made about resetting the device, which was int he wrong conversation
11:09:55bluebrothernot sure if he was referring to the hold switch or holding the buttons for emergency disk mode ;-)
11:09:57daniel1234I have got it to go into disk mode before but I have tried for hours and it won't go into disk mode it won't even boot the apple fw
11:10:53bluebrotherbooting any firmware is one thing. Emergency disk mode is another
11:11:14bluebrotherif it doesn't go into *emergency* disk mode (not regular disk mode) then something is really wrong
11:11:30scorcheaye...as i said
11:11:56daniel1234I have got it to go into disk mode before but I have tried for hours and it won't gif there is something wrong with the hard drive would that affect it
11:12:05scorchedaniel1234: so, you are resetting the device (select + menu_ and then immediately holding select and play/pause, correct?
11:12:28scorcheno...that would be something much worse than a hard drive issue
11:12:37daniel1234if there is something wrong with the hard drive will that affect it
11:12:44scorcheyou are blind, correct (or am i thinking of someone else?)
11:12:52daniel1234yes thats right
11:13:28daniel1234no thats me i am blind
11:14:16daniel1234So is there only one disk mode
11:14:21scorcheyes
11:14:35scorchethe "other one" is a part of apple's firmware
11:15:14scorcheare you sure that the hold switch is off and the unit is charged?
11:16:01daniel1234so you are saying if i flick the hold switch on and off then menu and select until the screen goes dark then play and select there is nothing I can do
11:16:04scorche(well, not completely discharged, rather
11:16:25scorchewell, how do you know that the screen is going dark?
11:16:58daniel1234I can see when it is light but that is about it
11:17:03daniel1234and dark
11:17:24daniel1234I am trying to put in to disk mode with the charger on
11:17:54scorchebut the unit is lighting up?
11:20:13daniel1234as soon as the screen goes dark I do the play and select thing and after about 10 seconds the hard drives makes a click sound I let go of the buttons and wait 10 seconds and the screen lights up again
11:20:26GodEater_that doesn't sound good =/
11:20:29daniel1234so does mean something is wrong
11:21:09scorchemost likely, however, if disk mode isnt working, then more than just your hard drive is broken
11:21:22scorchei would suggest sighted help if possible, at this point
11:21:42daniel1234ok what should I tell them to do and look for
11:22:27scorchewell, i would tell them how to put it into disk mode first of all
11:23:00bluebrotherthere is also a diagnostics mode (press left + select upon startup) that might be helpful
11:23:01scorcheit could be going into disk mode and then exiting because of the hard drive....i wouldnt know how it behaves on a bad hard drive
11:23:13bluebrotherdon't know if that has some "test disk" function though
11:23:17daniel1234ok so just hold on off then menu select until the screen goes off then play and select for how long?
11:23:25scorchebluebrother: well, it might be hard to explain that to someone who doesnt know what they are doing
11:23:42bluebrotherright ... but I was long unaware such a mode exists
11:23:45scorchedaniel1234: till it goes into disk mode
11:23:51bluebrotherso I thought I'd just mention it ;-)
11:24:05daniel1234so what should it say
11:24:13daniel1234when it is in disk mode
11:24:31scorcheit should say disk mode at the top
11:24:46bluebrotherif usb is connected it says "do not disconnect"
11:25:09scorcheand then in the middle, either a check mark, or a circle with a slash through it (the typical do not symbol)
11:25:30scorchewith the text " opk to disconnect or what bluebrother said below that icon
11:25:43scorchesorry...ok...not opk
11:26:28scorchealso, hol select and play/pause immediately after the unti resets (screen goes off, not necessarily dark)
11:26:31daniel1234my computer doesn't even recognise it
11:26:35scorchehold...arg
11:26:59scorchewell, it would have to be in disk mode for it to recognise it

11:28:46scorchei would try and find an article describing it on the internet for your sighted friend though

11:28:55scorcheno
11:29:29daniel1234someone said there is a mode you can get to when the player restarts you press select and back is that right
11:29:51scorchethat is it
11:29:53daniel1234like disk mode except with select and back not select and play
11:30:03scorchethere are 3 main modes on the ipods: firmware mode (where it will lod a firmware such as apple's or rockbox), disk mode, and diagnostic mode
11:30:55daniel1234how do you get into the firmware mode

12:04:26daniel1234I have read on lots of websites people have had to change there hard drives on the ipod but before I get a hard drive off ebay I want to make sure the hard drive is the problem
12:05:12scorchedaniel1234: well, just do as i have suggested with a sighted person, and you should be able to figure that out

12:06:42markunjhMikeS: any other places in mpegplayer that could use some asm?
12:07:15daniel1234OK just one more question if I can't get in to the hardware test thing does that mean the hard drive is the problem or is it worse than that
12:07:15Moosor on LCD driver? :)
12:07:27Moos@markun jhMikeS
12:07:32jhMikeSmarkun: probably most of it
12:07:44GodEater_daniel1234: if it won't go into the hardware test, it's very bad indeed, and most likely not the harddrive
12:08:01markunjhMikeS: well, maybe we should do some profiling first
12:08:05jhMikeSI think the decoder should do the rotation actually and would simplify the blit code
12:09:11daniel1234so if the ipod was working fine and I took the hard drive out would it still get in to that hardware thing
12:09:26markunpearldiver: can you check your 'green' video with jhMikeS' new yuv code?
12:09:36scorchedaniel1234: really...there sint a need to take the hard drive out
12:09:43jhMikeSmarkun: well, pick a stock video for comparision if you're sick of elephant dream by now :)
12:10:00markunjhMikeS: I'm using Red Dwarf now :)
12:10:15jhMikeSI'll need a copy then
12:10:51daniel1234i wasn't going to I was just wondering so I could tell if it was the hard drive or not
12:11:13scorchedaniel1234: the diagnostic mode should tell you that
12:13:12daniel1234so your saying if the hardware thing doesn't work I can't fix the problem
12:14:07scorchei am saying that if "the hardware thing" doesnt work, then your ipod has much worse issues than a bad hard drive
12:14:50daniel1234ok then is there anything I can do
12:15:12scorchereturn to apple for repair (if covered under a warranty), or buy a new one
12:16:18daniel1234I think I will just stick with my h300

13:21:12linuxstbs/split/blit/
13:22:21jhMikeSI think it should easily adapt to any ARM
13:24:00jhMikeSIt's tough to do that sans Sansa though not being able to actually run it and be sure the pointers are set right
13:24:34B4gderwe'd love to buy you one... .-)
13:24:34linuxstbBut at 40fps, seems there could be room for some scaling on the gigabeat... Would be nice to be able to play native VCD files (352x240 for NTSC) correctly.
13:24:54jhMikeShmmm...I'd like to have one then...:)
13:25:47jhMikeSI'm sure the gigabeat and probably and other arm stuff should have a lot more potential...coldfire as well imho

14:07:01*amiconn still thinks using rvf on grayscale would be best
14:07:38XavierGrrvf video on grayscale is pretty forward
14:07:46amiconnIt'll be blazingly fast and look even better than the grayscale lib (because it's pre-dithered with virtually unlimited levels)
14:07:51XavierGrI managed to compile the tools to make fullscreen videos for my H100 too
14:07:57XavierGrbut the sound is another issue
14:08:19safetydanrvf would most certainly be better. I just wanted to play around with dithering it.
14:08:50XavierGrfrom what I understand on hwtargets you just call mp3_play_data feeding it with the mp3 buffer on the rvf video and it plays fine
14:09:13XavierGrbut I guess that on swtargets you have to decode the mp3 data then feed the decoded data to pcm_play_data
14:09:34amiconnyes
14:10:02XavierGrI might play with it on one of these days but I don't know a thing on how to do that
14:10:15XavierGrit might need an audio thread to decode the data just like mpeg player
14:10:44XavierGrsurely out of my league but it would be fun to try nonetheless

16:56:06Nico_Pah
16:56:26pondlifeDid you buy it direct?
16:56:31Nico_Pmine ends on the 17th so I sent my h320 back a few weeks ago
16:56:40Nico_Ppondlife: what do you mean ?
16:57:04pondlifeDid you originally buy the H320 from Iriver?
16:57:28Nico_Pno, from an online shop
16:57:57pondlifeSo did you go back to Iriver for warranty support, or through the retailer?
16:58:12Nico_Ppondlife: I contecated iriver directly
16:58:21Nico_Pcontacted*
16:58:22pondlifeAh, I might do a similar thing.
16:58:50Nico_Ppondlife: http://www.iriver.eu.com/support.html?&L=0
16:59:08pondlifeLinusN has successfully repaired it now though
16:59:41pondlifeAccording to advancedmp3players (the retailer) I only had 1 years warranty.
16:59:42Nico_PI had already done this before with the same player... it's the second time my HDD fails
16:59:54Nico_Pbut this time the battery was the primary cause
17:00
17:00:20pondlifeIf the HD failed, I'd probably go for a 60 or 80G replacement, but a bad battery or UDA....
17:00:24Nico_Ppondlife: have you checked the warranty card in the box ?
17:01:06pondlifeI didn't see one
17:01:37pondlifeI never registered the purchase either.
17:01:45Nico_Pboth the battery and the HDD were failing, so I thought I'd send it before the end of the warranty t try to get free replacements... I was a bit lucky because I had opened the device and they didn't say anything
17:01:48pondlifeIf there was a registration card!
17:01:55Nico_Ppondlife: I didn't either
17:02:11pondlifeWell I'd opened mine too...

17:03:29beanzHi. Is there some way a potential rockbox user can try out rockbox before installing it? is there a demo of the playlist manangement feature?
17:04:10Nico_Pbeanz: no, but the simulator for your target will probably be what you want
17:04:33Domonokyor read the manual, there are many pictures :-)
17:05:15beanzAh the simulator looks interesting. The killer features of rockbox seem to be longer battery life and the playlist editor, I was looking for a quick intro that's all.
17:05:20beanzBut I will check the simulator :)
17:05:27pondlifebeanz: Which device?
17:05:45beanzI haven't bought one yet.
17:05:49pondlifeBattery life is decidedly shorter on some targets (e.g. ipods)
17:05:55beanzah
17:05:59pondlifeAt the moment, anyway
17:06:20beanzI was looking for something around 60 gigs, but there don't seem to be many (I don't want video).
17:06:22Nico_Pbeanz: currently, THE rockbox target is the gigabeat
17:06:22pondlifeIt's longer on the Iriver H300 series, and probably most non-PortalPlayer devices
17:06:38pondlifeWhat's battery like on that?
17:07:02Nico_Ppondlife: it's not really better than on the OF but stll good, I hear... about 19 hrs I think
17:07:20Nico_PI've never had any problems with it
17:07:34pondlifeThat's plenty for me too
17:07:43Domonokyi think the best is the Thoshiba m5l with something like 40-50h playback.. :-)
17:07:54beanzHow big do the gigabeat players come?
17:08:05Nico_PDomonoky: you probably mean the iAudio M5L ?
17:08:30Nico_Pbeanz: big how ? HDD space ?
17:08:30Domonokyoh sorry, yes its iAudio
17:08:43beanzNico_P: yes
17:08:58Nico_Pbeanz: I think you can get up to 60 GB
17:09:16beanzI will take a look.
17:09:19beanzThanks very much :)
17:09:27amiconnM5L is only available as 20GB

17:11:18Nico_Ppondlife: I'll have a look
17:11:43pondlifeIt seems ok, but on the sim it's hard to tell. It certainly fixes the problem I've been having for 3 months!
17:11:56Nico_Ppondlife: which problem was that ?
17:12:20Nico_PI don't finc the commit message very clear...
17:13:16pondlifeHmm, it was hard to describe. Basically if you have 32 tracks buffered then it occasionally displayed old details on the WPS.
17:13:26pondlifeAnd used old track length info etc.
17:13:35Nico_Pok
17:13:43pondlifeNot very common unless you have low bitrate or mono files of course
17:14:05pondlifeSo I've invalidated the tag data when it starts to buffer a new file

17:14:59pondlifeIndeed

17:15:08pondlifeBut this annoyed the hell out of me, so...
17:15:17pondlifeSadly I couldn't do MoB in 20 mins.
17:15:56pondlifeHmm, the Gigabeat reviews often comment on poor sound quality. Is this an issue, or perhaps firmware related?
17:16:43markunpondlife: I think it's firmware related
17:16:48pondlifeGreat
17:17:06pondlifeSo Rockbox fixes most of the "Cons"...
17:17:09*amiconn wonders whether that's really the case
17:17:17markunas people were almost going crazy when they heard the sound from version 3 of the OF
17:17:41pondlifeSeveral reviews mention "Lack of bass" in particular
17:17:58pondlifeOr over-quiet sound regardless of headphones
17:18:09markunamiconn: I'm not saying that it's the best sounding player, but people stopped complaining after the 3.0 firmware.
17:18:15amiconnFor some reason the sound quality of all the swcodec targets, although differing between those targets itself, isn't quite as good as on the MAS targets
17:18:47amiconnComparing the swcodec I know myself, H1x0/H300 are the worst
17:19:00markunat least the headphone out
17:19:09amiconn..comparing headphone out, yes
17:19:09pondlifeFunny - I was just typing "As long as it's at least as good as an H300"
17:19:18pondlifeLine out for me
17:19:41amiconnAt home I use s/pdif out on H180, so that's a non-issue there
17:19:49markunlinuxstb: what do you think of the Gigabeat sound compared to your other players?
17:20:07 Quit Domonoky ("Trillian (http://www.ceruleanstudios.com")
17:20:21markunpondlife: you could also ask Llorean and LinusN to compare
17:20:52Nico_PI honestly couldn't say
17:21:14Nico_Pmaybe once I get my H320 back I'll compare
17:21:53pondlifeI'd be interested. Hopefully my H340 will last a while yet, but I'm on the lookout for the next generation...
17:21:54*moos have to admit that ondio sounds better than iriver and iaudio, for him
17:22:05markunat least to me my F40 doesn't sound bad at all
17:22:18Nico_Psame here
17:22:19*amiconn agrees with moos on that
17:22:36FebsOf course, let us not forget that Rockbox in general sounds like a bag of shit.
17:22:42Febs:)
17:22:49pondlifeTrue :)
17:22:50mooshehe :)
17:22:57markuncompletely forgot about that :)
17:23:01amiconnThe iAudios are the best sounding swcodec among my collection, but MAS35xxF is still better
17:23:07linuxstbmarkun: The gigabeat sounds nice. I haven't done any proper tests, but I would rate my ipod 5g top out of that ipod, my ipod Photo and my h140. The gigabeat is at least as good as the 5g, maybe better.
17:23:20pondlifeMy Archos Recorder V1 had audible hard drive noise on playback
17:23:23moosamiconn: same here
17:23:28amiconnThen I don't know the gigabeat
17:25:23perl|worklinuxstb uh oh
17:25:46perl|workipod, be it 4g or 5g, has nothing on gigabeat in term of sound quality
17:25:50perl|workliterally nothing
17:25:56perl|workits like heaven and hell
17:26:25markunpersonally I doubt the difference will be very big for me
17:26:48perl|workit takes a pair of decent headphones
17:29:16markunperl|work: maybe it's just that the ipods can't drive your decent headphones?

17:29:46perl|workmarkun they cant even drive the mid class
17:29:52*pixelma fully agrees on the statement about sound quality on Ondio and Iaudio - even if it's a bit late :)

17:47:56pixelmasure I'll try - but somethings not quite working as it should when loading the metadata isn't quite new - have that on Ondio ever since
17:49:20Nico_Phmm what I just solved isn't related to metadata
17:49:40Nico_Pyou said you wre seeing garbage when the metadata isn't reday ?
17:51:08pixelmamaybe these are really two different things because the first version worked on M5... just thought that the crash is related because it displayed everything else in the wps fine ...
17:52:06pixelma...on Ondio you can see a few characters displayed for a very short time before the actual tag info is available - too short to really recognise something

19:44:19toni1dan_a: Are you still working on the sansa?
19:45:07dan_atoni1: i've had some health problems and have had no time for rockbox at all
19:45:54toni1ok, don't worry. Did you see my workaround for the sound improvement?
19:46:22dan_ai did - where you stop flushing the cache in the LCD driver?
19:47:23toni1yes exactly, that seems to solve the problem. better solution would of cause be dma-ing the audio data, but it may be difficult?
19:49:33 Quit vcardenas ("CGI:IRC (Ping timeout)")
19:49:47dan_aThat needs someone to get their head round the DMA hardware - there is a description of how the Sansa uses it in MrH's NAND interface docs. DMA'd audio would be good for all the PP targets, I imagine.
19:50:56dan_aI don't really like the idea of not flushing the cache when it is actually needed for the display to work properly - a better solution would be to find out how to only flush the framebuffer cache, or have the framebuffer in uncached RAM
19:52:06toni1I think the OF does it in the same way we do: use cached data without flushing, but there is no clear_screen() function.
19:52:30toni1So simply update the necessary region.
19:54:25toni1And they very rarely stop dma-ing. I measured 6mA less current when LCD_REG_6 was xored with 1.
19:54:26dan_aif we write to &(framebuffer+64MB) then that should be an alias of the framebuffer which does not get cached
19:55:15toni1that simple?

19:57:15dan_aI'd not noticed any hissing, but I've not been following Rockbox for a couple of weeks
19:57:42toni1It's only with the mpegplayer.
20:00
20:00:50toni1It seems to be related to a memory problem. I suspect an overwriting of some table entries in the audio codec, because even after deactivating the video-thread the hiss remains.

20:02:52dan_athat's weird... hopefully in a week or so i'll be able to get hacking on it again

20:05:59linuxstbtoni1: Do I remember correctly that you said you found a strange way to fix the audio problems in mpegplayer on the Sansa? Moving something to or from IRAM?
20:06:44linuxstbIt sounds like the same problem I experienced for a short time on my ipod - moving some variables out of IRAM fixed it for my ipod, but it sounds like it didn't fix it everywhere...
20:06:55toni1yes, that was one way to solve the problem. Another solution was to add some global dummy variables.
20:08:16toni1Maybe a 'wild pointer' writes into the audio codec tables?
20:08:41linuxstbIt's possible.
20:08:50amiconnToo bad we don't have memory guard for PP
20:09:09toni1:-)
20:09:30linuxstbtoni1: Is your emulator still lacking COP support?
20:10:11toni1yes, I stopped development there, because working on the real device is more fun.
20:10:17amiconnOn SH it already helped me tracking down some overwriting bugs with some trickery (i.e. protecting the area that shouldn't be overwritten, in order to see which part of the code does it)

20:22:56 Part toni1

20:23:54bennyhinnive got a gigabeat F20 but this rockbox business has interested me
20:24:41Aloneabennyhinn: its completely awesome. I got a F40
20:25:00bennyhinnive got a very old firmware version on this beat and im lookin to upgrade
20:25:28linuxstbamiconn: I'm not following, mpegplayer links with libmad - it doesn't use mpa.codec...
20:25:43amiconnyes
20:26:04amiconn[20:08:17] <toni1> Maybe a 'wild pointer' writes into the audio codec tables?
20:26:39amiconnHmm, maybe I had a slight misunderstanding there
20:26:49Aloneabennyhinn: with rockbox you get a lot of nice stuff, like video (though its not perfect yet), games, gameboy (and color) emu., text viewer, etc. Its easy to put on (as long as you follow the instructions and don't do things that were never said to do in the manual) and you can always go back to your old firmware.
20:27:09linuxstbI assume toni1 meant the libmad parts of mpegplayer.
20:27:11bennyhinnis rockbox user friendly
20:27:16amiconnI thought he meant the hiss remains after quitting mpegplayer, but he just said it remained when deactivating the video thread
20:27:24bennyhinni would consider itunes to be extremely user friendly
20:27:59linuxstbitunes makes me angry and frustrated... I wouldn't call that friendly.
20:28:38linuxstbI would say Rockbox assumes a certain amount of computer literacy from its users though.
20:29:01Aloneasame here. I like rockbox just fine and find it easy to use. and like I said, you can try it out for a while and if you don't like it, then go back to original.
20:29:36nlsor fix it ;-)
20:29:41linuxstbbennyhinn: But itunes is an application on your PC, Rockbox is a replacement firmware for your DAP.
20:30:06amiconnlinuxstb: The tables should be easy to check with a bit of debug code in the core
20:30:28amiconnYou know where they are from the map file
20:30:58amiconnJust dump them once from the core after loading mpegplayer but before running it, and a second time after quitting mpegplayer
20:31:00bennyhinnyeah but
20:31:06amiconnCompare the files
20:31:29bennyhinnwhat do you use to transfer files and stuf to rockbox - ie windows media player?

22:12:35jhulstise_: yes, that would be good
22:13:02saratoga1my theory is that the x86 in the installer program hashes over the firmware it extracts to check that it hasn't been modified, then it copies it over
22:13:08jhulstise_: unfortunately, school has kept me busy lately but it should be slowing down a little
22:13:20saratoga1it might be possible to change the test instruction to accept firmwares that didn't match the hash check
22:13:23toffe82jhulst, ise_ : check the gigabeat S port page to see the structure of the files
22:13:37saratoga1in which case, we wouldn't even need to care how the process worked
22:13:51ise_or figure out a keygen for the hashing technique?
22:13:57perl|workxamox disable automatic updates in itunes?
22:14:03perl|workset everything to "manual"
22:14:04saratoga1well that would be best, but maybe harder

22:15:25xamoxperl|work, alright, thx.
22:15:28perl|workthen follow the instructions on the rockbox site
22:15:31ise_Anyway I can figure out what the firmware updater was programmed in?

22:15:46toffe82ise_: http://www.rockbox.org/twiki/bin/view/Main//GigabeatSInfo
22:16:01ise_toffe82: thanx, i'll take a look
22:16:44toffe82ise_: the updater is in mcosoft C++ v6 I think if I remember what I saw
22:16:56toffe82microsoft^^ ;)

22:19:05ise_ok, im going to try and use Dragon Unpacker on the firmware updater, see what it can find.

22:32:15nlsWell, yay now I get sound only in the right channel on my h300 :-/ any tips around or do I have to get the soldering iron and a new jack?
22:33:04nlsUsing the line out works fine so the dac chip is ok and the headphones are ok too
22:35:19peturmaybe first try resoldering?
22:36:16nlshmm, the left channel comes back if I apply even very light pressure to the connector, but yeah I will try that
22:36:54 Join mirak [0] (n=mirak@m145.net195-132-203.noos.fr)
22:36:56nlsalso what is the difference between the line out and regular headphone out on h300?
22:37:49 Part mirak ("Ex-Chat")
22:38:21peturthe amp in the chip (and impedance)
22:38:45nlsso it will have a harder time driving the phones?
22:39:05peturmore or less like this: the headphones are current-driven, line-out is voltage driven
22:39:35nlsyep, definetly doesn't sound the same...
22:40:25bluebrothernls: tried contact spray?

22:40:45nlsno, it just happened today
22:41:17nlsI thought I had killed the headphone cable until I tried it in the lin out
22:41:23bluebrotherI have a similar issue with my h120 but I haven't got around replacing the headphone jack yet.
22:41:46peturcould simply be a broken soldering
22:42:26nlsI will open it up and do some visual inspection and probably try resoldering during the easter holiday :-)

23:07:05toni1linuxstb: my latest results on the mpegplayer audio hiss problem on the sansa:
23:07:41toni1after removing all video related stuff and feeding pure mp3 audio data the hiss remains.
23:07:50 Join linuxstb_ [0] (i=5343d4aa@rockbox/developer/linuxstb)
23:08:10toni1so it might be related to the codec loading?
23:08:16linuxstb_What do you mean by removing all video stuff? Not running the video thread at all?
23:08:40toni1yes, completely removed.
23:09:21linuxstb_Have you tried increasing the stack size for the audio thread?
23:09:52toni1no, but that might be a good idea for tomorrow.
23:10:21toni1today I will stop hunting that problem.
23:10:52linuxstb_Did you read amiconn's suggestion in the logs? Dumping the contents of const data from libmad at the start and end of mpegplayer?
23:11:04linuxstb_(getting the info from the map file)
23:11:17toni1No, but that might be another good idea.

23:57:56posingaspopularpetur, opps
23:58:21nlsposingaspopular: the way to uninstall is following the instructions in the manual
23:58:41nlsfound at the end of the installation chapter
23:58:50sslashesposingaspopular: try turning hold on and off when booting - you need to revert to the origional apple firmware to remove rockbox completely - read the install docs
23:58:53posingaspopularnls, that worked, thanks
