00:26:46mpeccoriniFellows, I have a patch to submit but it includes a new file. The manual gives some instructions to add a file, but since I don't have an svn account yet, do I just attach the file to the task in flyspray and forget about it?

00:32:14saratogathough his code seems somewhat broken on some files
00:32:17preglowsaratoga: coo, that's more than i would have expected
00:32:24preglowsaratoga: have you talked to him?
00:32:25amiconnpreglow: Maybe the flash has the same problem as the MK8010GAH here?
00:32:28saratogacompared to the FP version anyway
00:32:31preglowamiconn: which would be?
00:32:40saratogapreglow: yeah, I've been emailing him back and forth
00:32:57amiconnIf the flash has large blocks, writing 512-byte sectors involves several operations
00:32:59saratogathough he hasn't answered my last email a couple days ago about the problems decoding certain files

00:33:44saratogai'm actually a little curious why his code was so slow

00:34:56preglowamiconn: i think uses blocks far bigger than 512 bytes, but still, 1 create/sec...
00:34:58saratogathough I did cross compile his fixed point stuff routines, which was interesting
00:35:26saratogathe MAD fixed multiply is 4 or 5 ops, GCC compiles his into 42 ops I think
00:35:29preglowsaratoga: anything noteworthy? what kind size operations does he use
00:35:35preglowsaratoga: the flaming hell
00:35:45mpeccoriniGuys, if I need to submit a new file to svn do I just attach it to the task in flyspray or is anything else I need to do?
00:35:46amiconnpreglow: From looking at the performance values, I would guess it uses at least 8KB blocks. You could just test some more block sizes instead of the default 512B, 4KB and 1MB
00:35:47preglowsaratoga: x86 even supports a 32x32 -> 64 bit multiply natively
00:35:57preglowsaratoga: then i suspect he's using 64x64 -> 64 bit multiplies

00:37:41amiconnhmm
00:37:43saratoga2ah you're right
00:37:51saratoga2he does cast to 64 bit before doing a 32 multiply

00:43:36goffawhat's the x5l use for a connector?
00:43:40markungoffa: wow, didn't know they were already in production
00:43:54preglowsaratoga2: the clipping is nasty

00:44:10saratoga2preglow: yeah I noticed the problems with clipping

00:44:26preglowsaratoga2: but it's not impossible that wma is a bit unfriendly in that department
00:45:01preglowsaratoga2: well, he does a 64x32 bit multiply, or a 32x32, depending on how sophisticated gcc is, but i'm almost sure it ends up a 64x64 one

00:48:28DerPapstis there a reason for not acceppting FS #4733 (Multifont patch) exept of the red delta that it is adding?
00:48:38duckieno, that wasn't in the instructions. am I supposed to do that?
00:49:07linuxstbYes - otherwise your gigabeat won't do a proper reboot (the Toshiba firmware just sleeps)
00:49:26duckiethat makes sense, I suppose
00:50:11linuxstbBut you're right - that step is missing from the install instructions.
00:50:26Nico_PDerPapst: It's not the right approach IIRC
00:50:31duckieokay, that seemed to fix it.

01:06:49Lars_GThere are differences between boot sector and its backup.

01:07:00amiconnHmm, interesting....
01:07:03Lars_GUnless....

01:07:32markunmrk2: how did you create those files?
01:07:33amiconnThe 4GB MMC seems to use even larger blocks internally than what is addressable

02:32:08TheGoomanWell don't berate yourself
02:32:14TheGoomanwhat's up?
02:32:23duckieinstead of using the gigabeat room software to transfer music, what do I use for my rockboxed gigabeat?
02:32:27duckiehaha
02:32:38duckieI always have dumb questions
02:32:47kkurbjunI use windows explorer
02:32:58kkurbjunyou could use the command prompt too
02:33:12duckiejust windows explorer?
02:33:13kkurbjunor whatever else you want to copy files to the player
02:33:31duckie...uh.... where do you... put... them?
02:33:35TheGoomanyea, just copy them on in whatever directory you wish to have your music organized in
02:33:39kkurbjunyeah, you just have to copy them to the player, wherever you want
02:34:03duckiehrm
02:34:19TheGoomanon your gigabeat. I personally have an ipod but I don't think it differs much. I literally copied my music folder into my ipod and done
02:34:27linuxstbduckie: I think most people organise their music as something like /artist/album/NN-track.mp3
02:34:42kkurbjunif you use the database feature it automatically organises the music by artist album, etc as long as the tags are good
02:34:44TheGoomanif you want it to display in the database you will have to initialize/update it
02:34:47duckiebut do you put it in the main root folder?
02:34:55duckieor in the file folder
02:35:04pearldiverduckie
02:35:05TheGoomanI have it in the main
02:35:08pearldivercreate folders like

02:39:55TheGoomanby icon files i mean extention icon
02:40:08TrueJournalsyou mean viewer iconsets?
02:40:33TrueJournalsNo, viewer iconsets are not NECESARY, but everything will look much more together if you have them...
02:41:23TheGoomanhmm. I mean, for instance, I dled a theme that implements a new iconset. together with the bmp files there was also a .icon fie

02:58:02TrueJournalsToo bad
02:58:09TheGoomanit's not a supported format
02:58:16TrueJournalsShouldn't have relied on a closed format ;-)
02:58:24duckiewow, TrueJournals you don't have to be an ass
02:58:36TrueJournalsSorry
02:58:47TrueJournalsI think I'm coming off a bit meaner than I mean to be
02:58:53TheGoomanthey can always be converted
02:59:01duckieto what?
02:59:06TrueJournalsMP3
02:59:09TheGoomani would rec. mp3's
02:59:10duckieI have them in lossless
02:59:13TrueJournals... unless they're all DRMed
02:59:23duckiethey are all huge files
02:59:47duckie:(
02:59:52duckiefuck
03:00
03:00:15TheGoomanNo need for that, man
03:00:28duckiefor what?
03:01:09TrueJournalsfor swearing
03:01:18TheGoomanPerhaps it's just me but I don' think there's need to swear there
03:01:44TrueJournalshttp://www.rockbox.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/IrcGuidelines - "It is also a family-friendly channel." - I think most people would consider swearing NOT family-friendly
03:01:46duckieoh. well, maybe if you'd spent all your time ripping your music in a specific format you'd be annoyed too
03:02:19duckiewow. sorry. didn't know that swearing was a death sentence
03:02:22maffeWMA lossless?
03:02:26duckieyes
03:02:43Lloreanduckie: It's not a death sentence, but we ask that you try to act respectably in here, and try to keep things appropriate for any audience.
03:02:52Lloreanduckie: As well, since they're lossless, just convert them into any other lossless format
03:03:00maffeI'd convert them to FLAC using foobar2000
03:03:07LloreanRockbox supports at least 4 I can think of off the top of my head
03:03:22BHSPitMonkeythe fact that you have them in lossless should make you relieved, not frustrated
03:03:28Lloreanduckie: It's your own fault for choosing the most poorly supported lossless format known to man.
03:03:31maffe:)
03:03:48duckiethanks for the insult
03:04:00Lloreanduckie: It's not an insult. It's just the situation.
03:04:01duckieI never clained to be smart
03:04:07LloreanAn insult would be if I called you stupid. I didn't.
03:04:11TheGoomanwe never said otherwise
03:04:13LloreanI said that you chose a format, for reasons that may even be good ones.
03:04:29duckieit was the best I knew of.
03:04:34LloreanYou can have good reasons to choose a poorly supported format, for example some program you must use requires it.
03:04:43duckieI'm not a music geek
03:04:48duckieI don't know this stuff
03:04:56TheGoomanAnd no prob there. Now you're learning
03:05:11TheGoomanwma's are poorly supported and this includes rockbox
03:05:19LloreanYou should be able to find a program that can mass convert the files
03:05:21duckieYeah, but you guys are making me feel like more of an idiot in the process
03:05:28BHSPitMonkeyduckie, the brightest geeks around got where they are through a series of agonizing mistakes
03:05:30TheGoomanSorry
03:06:33duckieso, I need to get something like foobar to convert my files?
03:06:39BHSPitMonkeyfoobar's nice.
03:06:52CtcpIgnored 1 channel CTCP requests in 0 seconds at the last flood
03:06:52*Llorean doesn't know if Foobar does WMA Lossless.
03:07:04LloreanBut if it does, it'd be ideal
03:07:45duckieI guess I could just re-rip all of my music. yayfun
03:07:57linuxstbMaybe dbpoweramp music converter is another possibility
03:08:01LloreanRe-ripping would be a ridiculously roundabout way to solve the problem.
03:08:03LloreandBPoweramp is good.
03:08:07LloreanIt's easy to use, at least
03:08:18LloreanCan we seek in flacs without seekpoints now?
03:08:24LloreanErr tables.. or whatever those were called
03:08:29TrueJournalsSomeone (Soap?) was here a while ago saying they were going to make a redistributable pack of various audio codec "samples"... did anyone ever do that?
03:08:34maffeI think I'll re-rip all my FLACs
03:08:57LloreanTrueJournals: Don't think it's started yet.
03:09:06LloreanThey'd be ideal for test_codec purposes.
03:09:16TrueJournalsYeah, I figured...
03:09:44duckieugh, this is not as easy as I thought it would be :)
03:09:44TrueJournalsI think I'll try to whip something up. I figure some kind of beat would be fine? I also figure you want a wide range of frequencies?
03:10:33linuxstbTrueJournals: Soap was looking for a "real" audio track to use
03:10:39TrueJournalsOK... the results are in... my codec testing: http://www.misticriver.net/showthread.php?p=564175#post564175

03:15:29TrueJournalsI'll post at the rockbox forum too
03:15:37LloreanWell, that's not the right place either
03:15:42TrueJournalsI visit the misticriver forum more often though...
03:15:46TrueJournalsWhy not?

03:15:59TrueJournalsah
03:16:01LloreanTry putting together maybe a codec result page.
03:16:19TrueJournalsFor the wiki?

04:13:39Mazgood to know :)
04:13:59ivan`and iaudios are impossible :)
04:15:35aliaskivan`: I would say that they are more breakable than ipods in terms of firmware
04:15:49ivan`yes
04:16:23ivan`but i've dropped one from 5ft onto concrete and it hit a corner, with practically no damage
04:16:50SoapI've done the same with my iPod.
04:17:04ivan`i guess it all works out as long as the hdd isn't spinning
04:17:08aliaskI treat my ipod mini like crap
04:17:28aliaskScreen is already broken and the rest is metal so I have no fear of doing damage :P
04:18:18chrisjs169Kinda hate to ask on here, but my friend's iPod seems to have had the partition table erased, any idea on recovering it (without reformatting)
04:18:23 Join lids [0] (i=lds@gateway/tor/x-fef95edc1b6dccb6)
04:18:47aliaskchrisjs169: Without reformatting might be a bit tricky.
04:18:58aliaskDo you have access to a computer with linux?
04:19:15chrisjs169aliask: Right in front of me :)
04:20:18aliaskYou could try using dd to copy a clean partition table from a working ipod
04:20:37chrisjs169I don't have another ipod though =/
04:21:03aliaskSomeone here might have one
04:21:29chrisjs169ok
04:21:42aliaskBut short of that I think you might have to format
04:22:09chrisjs169ok - hope my friend has a backup of all his music
04:22:35aliaskOut of interest, how exactly did that happen

04:54:45chrisjs169aliask: sorry, was running a few recovery tools on my windows computer (it's found quite a few of the songs)
04:55:31chrisjs169aliask: I don't know how it happened, as when I got it, the battery was completely dead, although they said that the ipod had the folder/exclamation point icon
04:56:36chrisjs169he seems somewhat computer literate, so I'm guessing he was in a hurry and just disconnected it while it was still writing or someting
04:58:32aliaskGood to hear that at least some of the songs are still in tact

10:53:01amiconnNot sure whether this will work. Another thing to check thoroughly when extending localisation support to plugins
10:53:29Siltaarcould it be declared in plugin.h ?

11:07:07peturhmmm you wouldn't load all voice clips of all plugins into the core, right?

11:07:53amiconnpetur: Correct, hence the need for several sections
11:09:44peturah, I thought when you said sections and not multiple files you were meaning all voice clips in one file. But I guess multiple sections in lang file and multiple voice clips after generation
11:10:10markunA while ago I proposed to dynamically change the contrast and backlight brightness in the mpegplayer to increase contrast and runtime. It turns out this is already used in LG LCD monitors and is called Digital Fine Contrast.

11:17:26Chrysalidyes it does
11:17:38ChrysalidKinda weird.
11:17:49linuxstbThen it would point to a USB issue - either your cable, or the PC

14:15:14amiconnI dunno
14:15:27amiconnI never checked your source, I worked from wavplay.c

14:16:09amiconnyes, but you already changed things I didn't check
14:16:55[IDC]Dragonhow was devcon, did your sister like it, too?
14:17:06amiconnThe interrupt handling is a bit tricky, plus the recording loop concept from the core won't work (and is too slow in C as well)
14:17:24 Quit Siltaar (Remote closed the connection)
14:17:51amiconnSo I did an asm loop based on the older core concept. Had to unroll it to make it fast enough on Ondio
14:18:18*amiconn thinks we should probably go back to the old concept in the core as well, of course as a slow C version

14:26:44 Part pSiKO
14:28:03Siltaarmarkun, so, if we code one voice file per plugin, just have to add one parametter to every functions that calls talk_id in order to say in which voice file the id should be search for no ?
14:30:15amiconnand I no longer think that relying on the dma block size is a bad idea...
14:30:37amiconnSiltaar: Sections, not separate files
14:30:55amiconnThink 25+ languages * 30 plugins...
14:34:51JdGordonanyone want to suggest a name for the "use the user configured" recording dir in the setting? (to g along with "/recording" and "current directory") ?
14:36:20markunSiltaar: better ask amiconn about voicefiles
14:36:57peturJdGordon: maybe it should just be a setting that happens to default to /recording ?
14:37:01pixelmaJdGordon: do we still need "current directory" then?
14:37:12amiconnJdGordon: I'd rather want to get rid of the separate options and only have a user seletable dir
14:37:13peturnah
14:37:25Siltaaramiconn, the files are generated only for the configured language no ?
14:37:35Siltaar(the current voice file I mean)
14:37:53peturseems we all agree then
14:37:59amiconnThe files are generated on the pc, but that's not the point
14:38:09amiconnThink about offering voice files for download...
14:38:27JdGordonAs it is, I have it defaulting to /recordings if one wasnt set, and a context menu for folders to set a recording folder.. but no way to remove the setting..
14:38:30Siltaarah ok
14:39:45Siltaarand so currently, how clip position are found in the single voice file ?
14:39:57JdGordonpixelma: i dont know, I never record...
14:40:01pixelmaJdGordon: is it possible to set the root directory as recording directory with this context menu?
14:40:09JdGordonits just as easy to remove the choice as it is to keep it...
14:40:16Siltaarwe have to introduce a const offset for each section ?
14:40:18JdGordonhmm, no
14:40:38amiconnSiltaar: No, there would be only one section loaded at any time
14:40:59Siltaara dynamically 'voice compiling created' offset

14:49:10linuxstb_And a "clear recording directory" option somewhere which would set it to the root
14:49:39JdGordonIve just done that, but atm default is /recordins...
14:49:53JdGordonso we want t get rid of the option for current directory?
14:50:09peturI think we *only* need a 'Set as recording dir' context menu for directories
14:50:23JdGordonof course
14:50:33peturand no current dir option and no resetting
14:50:35linuxstb_I can't see how "current directory" makes sense. Rockbox isn't a DOS prompt...
14:50:37JdGordondoes the rec screen crash the sim for everyone? or just me?
14:50:42peturand default as what it is now
14:50:59JdGordonso the only way to rec t / is edit the .cfg file?
14:51:08peturit didn't crash last time I tried
14:51:46peturwho wants to rec to the root anyway?
14:52:06peturlet's force users to use a clean dir structure ;)
14:52:24linuxstb_I think I would if I only recorded occasionally - I wouldn't want a Recordings directory there which is empty all/most of the time.

14:53:25jief-hello. any ETA for Nano second gen support?
14:53:35jief-i can't stand that crappy ipod OS anymore
14:53:39peturI'd think clear would reset it to default, no?

14:54:05jief-bummer ;(
14:54:22jief-my ipod just locked. and i have to wait until the battery runs out before it will work again
14:54:25linuxstb_petur: I think it's logical for "clear" to actually clear it - i.e. no directory.
14:54:30jief-i wish there was a way to reset them
14:54:46Siltaarthat so unfair and counter productive from Apple to crypt the firmware...
14:55:25linuxstb_Siltaar: I don't lose any sleep - there are more than enough hackable DAPs already...
14:55:27JdGordonpetur: linuxstb_: if we dont have the menu option for the setting, clear would have t be reset, which would go back to default
14:55:42pixelmapetur: yes atm... but one idea was to change it to be the root because you wouldn't be able to set this with a context menu
14:55:42jief-i shoulda bought a sandisk instead when my first gen nano died

15:50:34*linuxstb_ still thinks "clear" should reset to the root and forget about forcing a certain directory name as the defautl
15:51:05*JdGordon doesnt care one way or the other, so will do whichever has mroe support
15:52:33*petur would be fine with reset pointing it to root too if anybody wanted it (as long as we clearly document it)
15:52:53linuxstb_IMO, 1) It's logical; 2) It removes the need to use an English word; 3) It solves the issue of not being able to set the directory to the root

17:00:50Nico_Pexactly, and I thought you could be of great help, as you probably had a vision of how it would work
17:01:11pondlifeNot much - I've tried to put it all on the wiki.
17:01:17zipperhmm
17:01:26zipperthe sound with the mpeg player is really weird
17:01:35zipperfastfplaying
17:01:39pondlifeI like the way that the AudioHWAPI was handled on the wiki - test cases and all, so that would be next I think.
17:02:46markunzipper: which samplerate did you use?
17:03:02markunit needs to be 44100Hz
17:03:55Nico_Ppondlife: so there would be a buffering thread controlled with the buf*() functions ?
17:04:25pondlifeThat was my idea, yes. It would pretty much replace the current playback thread I think.
17:05:06Nico_Pand it would all be in buffering.[ch]
17:05:27pixelmathe recording directory patch seems to have a major flaw... it doesn't handle the case when someone deleted the directory that's set for recording
17:05:33pondlifeSomething like that, but there are many things still to be considered (and it may not turn out to be viable....)
17:05:33Nico_Pwell the playback thread would still be needed to handle things like FF/RW and even pause
17:05:52pondlifeYes... hence "pretty much"
17:06:07Nico_Pok :)
17:06:20pondlifeCodec swapping and much metadata stuff too..
17:06:36 Quit zipper ("CGI:IRC (Ping timeout)")
17:06:40pondlifeAnd, sadly, keeping the voice thread going!
17:07:55Nico_Pwhat's codec swapping ? changing codecs when two successive files don't use the same one ?
17:08:08pondlifeYes, and a bit of tracking.
17:08:16pondlifeThe codecs live in the audio buffer too.
17:08:39pondlife|codec|audio|codec|audio|audio|...
17:08:53pondlife(Or it might be audio then codec, can't remember.)
17:09:13Nico_PI think the codec is before the audi
17:09:14pondlifeWith the buffering API, those would also be handled as buffered files.
17:09:19Nico_Pyes
17:09:45Nico_Pthe thing is I have no experience in threading
17:09:52pondlifeMe neither!!
17:10:01Nico_Phaha then I'm reassured :)
17:10:08pondlifeHave a look in playback.c at the stuff that starts threads maybe?
17:10:12amiconnCodec swapping is for voice & playback
17:10:17pondlifeThat too
17:10:36linuxstb_pixelma: How do you think that should be handled? I can think of 1) Create the directory again; 2) Default to the root; 3) Give an error and don't record
17:10:51pondlifeHopefully that can go away at some point - a dedicated voice codec would be nice (even if it's just a copy of the MPA codec linked at a different address).
17:10:57amiconnpondlife: It's only for that. Crossfading is handled differently
17:11:24pondlifeI was referring more to the codecs in the buffer, not in "time".
17:11:35amiconnpondlife: Then one of them cannot use iram anymore (or both can use less)
17:12:34pondlifeWe need to see if IRAM is really needed for MPA voice, or on which targets?
17:12:57pondlifeIIRC it was thought this wasn't need on Coldfire at least.
17:13:12pondlifeMono, limited bitrate etc.
17:13:41linuxstb_pondlife: If it's OK on Coldfire, then I would expect it's OK on portalplayer (apart from maybe the PP5002)
17:14:00pondlifeI might be remembering wrong, this is really still work to be done...
17:14:11linuxstb_Does the current code swap the codec stack as well as the 48KB?
17:14:11pixelmalinuxstb_: (1) isn't always possible, for example in my test case I set the <MMC1> "folder" as recording directory... then removed the MMC
17:14:23pondlifelinuxstb_: I think so.
17:14:24linuxstb_pixelma: Yes, I just thought of that case...
17:14:36pixelmaI think it should default to the root
17:14:46badsheepythats not very nice and guiish
17:15:01badsheepyunless it told you it was doing it first and let you cancel
17:16:00pixelmathe error *Panic* only occured when it tried to write the data
17:16:15linuxstb_pixelma: What about trying 1) (if possible), and then 2). Or is that adding too much complexity?
17:17:34amiconnlinuxstb_: The stack doesn't need to be swapped, as the codecs run in different threads, and the stack isn#T in the codec ram or codec iram area
17:18:14linuxstb_Is the voice thread's stack in IRAM?

17:23:30Nico_Ppondlife: in the current system, only the audio data is kept in the file buffer ? not the entire audio file ?
17:23:34pondlifeNico_P: I'm not the real expert, just a hacker. Speak to lostlogic (Mr Buffering) and jhMikeS (Mr Threading).
17:23:35amiconnlinuxstb_: (1) can only fail in 2 situations: (a) no space left (b) volume removed (Ondio, soon Sansa)
17:23:48amiconnThen it doesn't make sense to default to the root...
17:23:49pondlifeNico_P: I think so, the metadata is pre-removed
17:23:59Nico_Ppondlife: sadly, lostlogic isn't very available
17:24:03pixelmathat was my first reaction too - especially when one doesn't look at the recording screen thinking s/he started it correctly and as I said the error didn't occur at the beginning of the recording (that could be changed I guess)
17:24:03pondlifeI know
17:24:16Nico_Palthough he's often logged on
17:24:34amiconnOn Ondio it could make sense, but not much. Sure someone sets the recording dir to mmc for more available space
17:24:42pondlifeNico_P: If the metadata is on the buffer, I'm not sure if the codecs know how to skip it.... they should do, but I don't know if they do.

17:25:21Nico_Pthey probably need the exact location of the compressec audio data, which shouldn't be too hard to give them
17:25:24amiconnThis is what it does without the patch for /recordings anyway
17:25:30pondlifeI would think more about the structure and test cases before starting to code anything, anyway.

17:26:34pixelmathat's true
17:26:35pondlifeMake a list of various things that playback needs to be able to do. Ensure that your solution can do them. Things like crossfade - WPS next track info,...
17:27:08pondlifeThere are lots of them, most will hopefully not be affected too much, but I've not thought about it.
17:27:21Nico_PI see
17:27:24pondlifeI'm sure others can chime in - start a section in the wiki
17:29:28pondlifeAlso bear the MAS targets in mind... they don't use playback.c IIRC; I've no idea how they go about buffering.
17:29:52amiconnOne goal here would be to unify things
17:29:58pondlifeYes
17:30:26amiconnCurrently the MAS playback engine is in mpeg.c, using parts of mp3_playback.c
17:30:31pondlifeamiconn: Am I right to recall that the MAS needs metadata removing to work gaplessly?
17:30:41amiconnThe mpeg thread handles both playback and recording
17:30:58pondlifeWhat handles the file reading?
17:31:03amiconnpondlife: Um,, all codecs need that I would think
17:31:28amiconnpondlife: The whole engine is where I said, that includes file reading, buffering etc
17:31:43amiconnIt just queries playlist.c for the playlist
17:32:21pondlifeOK, so there's a possibility that a generic buffering API could be used by mpeg.c as a stepping stone towards unification?
17:32:41amiconnI don't think that will work
17:32:56linuxstb_amiconn: OK, I agree 1) and 3) make sense.
17:33:43pondlifeamiconn: I know you put some reasons up in IRC before, but if you could put them on the wiki that would be useful.
17:34:10pondlifehttp://www.rockbox.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/BufferingAPIProposal
17:35:19pondlifeI know there's the bitswap and metadata removal required... is that it?
17:35:45Nico_Ppondlife: is the "Current Status" part of http://www.rockbox.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/SoftwareCodecPlayback the current way the playback engine works or the current (at the time) idea of how to implement MoB ?
17:36:10pondlifeAn idea, I think
17:36:26pondlifeMaybe the heading should say "Current proposal"
17:37:03pondlifeThe bit at the bottom... "Rockbox software codec current audio playback functional description" is more accurate
17:38:21Nico_Pit mentions static "worst case size" metadata buffers. I think that isn't possible
17:39:38amiconnpondlife: I think metadata must be removed (and currently is removed) on swcodec as well
17:40:00pondlifeYes, that's what I feared some lines back.
17:40:56amiconnI don't think that's a problem
17:41:50amiconnWhen opening a new track, the metadata reader first gets the metadata anyway, and puts it in a separate buffer slot. Only the pure audio data is bufferend in the main buffer
17:42:27amiconnFor MoB, the metadata buffer slot would "just" be in the main buffer as well, as some kind of header to the audio data
17:42:48Nico_Pyes
17:43:04amiconnThe metadata won't be fed to the codec, regardless whether that is a codec library or the mas
17:43:13Nico_Pand the buffering API would have to keep track of them as two separate things
17:43:52amiconnWe will need one (or two) extra slots outside the main buffer, for copying the metadata of the current (and next) track into
17:43:55Nico_Pso the buffering thread would simply monitor the playlist in order to know what to buffer next or to unbuffer
17:44:02Nico_Pyes
17:44:33amiconnThe former because it becomes invalidated after starting the track at the next rebuffer action
17:44:36Nico_Por couldn't they just be accessed in the main buffer
17:44:38Nico_P?
17:44:46amiconnhow?
17:44:51pondlifeNo, they might not be buffered.
17:44:55amiconnA track can well be longer than the buffer size
17:44:58pondlifeImagine a long track
17:45:19amiconnVery common on archos, and also common on swcodec with lossless formats
17:45:21Nico_Pwell it could be invalidated only when the track is finished playing
17:45:30pondlifeNo,
17:45:31Nico_Pmeaning the track would be buffered in the rest of the buffer
17:45:37amiconnhow??
17:45:49linuxstb_Nico_P: Then you would have a gap in the buffer...
17:45:49pondlifeBut where would the next track info be?

17:46:06Nico_POK I see the problem
17:46:19pondlifeA suitable test case, right there!
17:46:33amiconnI also have 200MB+ flac tracks
17:47:18Nico_Pand where would the buffering thread keep track of the "file handles" ?
17:47:24linuxstb_There's also other metadata it would be nice to load at buffering time - such as seektables, and any codec "extradata" (as ffmpeg calls it) which is required by the decoder before it can decode any audio frames.
17:47:55pondlifeNico_P: I imagined the "file handles" as actually being offsets to the block of metadata...
17:48:03Nico_Plinuxstb_: where is that stored currenty ?
17:48:20amiconnNico_P: Why would that be needed? No more than one file should be open at any time
17:48:32linuxstb_Nico_P: Either in static buffers in the 512KB codec buffer, or "malloc'ed" out of the 512K codec malloc buffer.
17:48:48linuxstb_The latter is something that would be nice to eliminate.
17:48:55amiconnpondlife: The metadata blocks could just be a linked list
17:48:56Nico_Pamiconn: "Handle: An integer that refers to a particular buffered file, not necessarily the file handle as used by standard file i/o."
17:49:46Nico_Ppondlife: offsets probably wouldn't work... what would the handle to an unbuffered piece of data be ? we could have that, couldn't we ?
17:49:51pondlifeamiconn: Yes, that's what I was imagining. The "file handles" were just a way for the outside world to find an entry. It could be a list ID...
17:50:08Nico_Pthat's it, but where is the linked list stored ?

17:53:26Nico_Pwhich the struct would inidcate
17:53:32amiconnYes, sure
17:53:38pondlifeNico_P: Careful you don't cause buffer fragmentation. What about the as-yet-unbuffered files?
17:54:01amiconnpondlife: Unbuffered files don't need metadata either
17:54:20amiconnThere won't be any fragmentation from this concept, because everything is written in sequence

17:54:33Nico_Ppondlife: well what should bufopen() do in case the buffer is full ? return <0 ?
17:54:44pondlifeAh, I was thinking Nico_P was also referring to a list of future files to be buffered.
17:54:47Nico_Por maybe keep a queue of the requests
17:55:01pondlifeA seperate queue I guess
17:55:20Nico_Pyes maybe so that as soon as some buffer space is freed it can start buffering the next file
17:55:23pondlifeThe buffer will be full much of the time, especially with monster files.

17:55:27pondlifeNico_P: No
17:55:41pondlifeThe buffering will wait until it really has to spin up the disk
17:55:49Nico_Ptrue
17:55:58pondlifeThe aim is to reduce disk spin-ups, not to keep the buffer full.
17:55:58amiconnThe 'list of future files' is the playlist....
17:56:33amiconnNo need to copy that as it can be queried as needed
17:56:46Nico_Pthat's true
17:56:59pondlifeMakes sense, although we might need to allow MPEG2 files into the playlist one day.
17:57:04Nico_Ppondlife: so we spin the disk when the buffer runs low ?
17:57:20pondlifeWhen we think we are in danger of failing a bufread()
17:57:27amiconnIn case the api should be made generic it could specify a callback for that, which would hook to the playlist code in case of music playback
17:57:28Nico_Pand then buffer as much of the playlist as possible ?
17:57:44pondlifeYes, while the disk is spinning we fill the entire buffer
17:58:18Nico_Pand what if the buffer is almost empty but there is a buffered file still used that's right in the middle of it ?
17:58:28Nico_Pand everything else has been bufclosed
17:58:45pondlifeThat can't happen. bufclose() is just an indicator...

17:59:35pondlifeA section of a file may be overwritten in the buffer before bufclose(), but it would need re-reading if a subsequent bufread() required it.
18:00
18:00:00pondlifeYes, absolutely. Have a look at how the current code reacts (in the debug View Audio Thread screen)...
18:00:26pondlifeThen play with some large/small tracks and skip forward/backward etc.
18:00:31The-CompilerHi
18:01:03pondlifeThe only point of bufclose() would be to free up a handle, but if the playlist handles all of this, then bufopen and bufclose can be removed.
18:01:51pondlifeThe whole API becomes much more about controlling the access to the buffer, not much else!
18:02:43Nico_Phow does the playlist remove the need for bufclose and bufopen ?
18:03:17pondlifeYou'll just rely on the playlist itself for your "list of files to buffer"

18:08:09Nico_Pyes but a playlist item relates to several pieces of data

19:05:45nardulNot only in tags, but names, yeah
19:05:50nardulAnd yes, danish char's
19:06:11Nico_Pamiconn: would the main buffer still need to be a ring buffer ?
19:06:13nardullinuxstb, Afaik those are ascii chars.
19:06:27bluebrothernardul: you need a font that supports unicode
19:06:33amiconnI can't imagine how it could work otherwise...
19:06:41bluebrotheror, at least that has this glyphs.
19:07:04Nico_Pamiconn: why ?
19:07:06amiconnnardul: No, they aren't ascii.
19:07:16bluebrothersome fonts are quite limited and don't provide much more than plain ascii, others (like unifont) a much greater range of unicode glyphs
19:07:18pixelmabluebrother: those characters are part of the extended latin part - should be supported by most rockbox fonts
19:07:24 Quit Siltaar (Remote closed the connection)
19:07:27Slasherii still think the audio buffer could be fully dynamic, a pool of fixed size memory allocation slots
19:07:42Slasheri*codec buffer
19:07:44amiconnNico_P: How would continuous playback be possible for files larger than the buffer without using a ring buffer?
19:07:45bluebrotheriirc those characters are part of latin1
19:07:47nardulpixelma, I'll try another font then.
19:08:02bluebrotherI think rockbox_default only has ascii.

19:08:24amiconnbluebrother: rockbox_default has full iso8859-1
19:08:30bluebrotherbut yes, most fonts support at least latin scripts.
19:08:44Nico_Pamiconn: OK I see now :)
19:08:49nardulamiconn, I'm using it and it's not really working. Maube utf8
19:09:35Nico_PSlasheri: why the codec buffer ?
19:09:40bluebrothernardul: what files are you using? Or more specifically: what type of tags?
19:09:49 Join Siltaar [0] (n=Siltaar@193.52.208.229)
19:10:11SlasheriNico_P: that is the largest memory area available, and could be used for dynamic memory allocation as well
19:10:12pixelmanardul: what is your "default codepage" set to? In "Settings > general settings > display > default codepage" ?
19:10:19bluebrotherthere are a couple of id3 variants around that don't store the used encoding, so in that case you might need to change the "default codepage" setting
19:10:42linuxstbSlasheri: How would that work when audio codecs require contiguous blocks of data? It could mean a lot of memcpying into some kind of guard buffer.
19:10:46Slasherithere just would be a dynamic memory manager used to allocate fixed size chunks from the pool
19:10:49 Quit [IDC]Dragon ("CGI:IRC (Ping timeout)")
19:10:49Nico_PSlasheri: the codec buffer is the biggest memory available ? isn't it the file/main/audio buffer ?
19:10:57amiconnNot that dynamic memory allocation discussion again. please
19:11:06Slasherilinuxstb: indeed, a guard buffer would be necessary
19:11:13nardulbluebrother, OGG vorbis files. Don't know about the tag type though
19:11:16nardulpixelma, One sec
19:11:21amiconnWe've been throguh that many times...
19:11:23bluebrotherbut amiconn is right, rockbox_default has all latin1 characters
19:11:27Slasherilinuxstb: but if chunks are quite big (for example 64 kB), it should be quite efficient
19:11:45Slasheriamiconn :)
19:11:49bluebrothernardul: vorbis comments are always utf8. So if they show up correctly on the pc they also should on the player
19:11:57amiconnSlasheri: Forget that. It won't work for module formats
19:11:58SlasheriNico_P: codec buffer is the file/main buffer
19:12:00nardulpixelma, isro8859-1
19:12:00linuxstbSlasheri: But when the inevitable fragmentation happens, you'll end up needing the guard buffer for almost every read...
19:12:26nardulbluebrother, Oh, wait, these are mp3 tags. It's for podcasts.
19:12:29amiconnMod players need the whole module contiguous, and that can be several MB e.g. in case of IT modules
19:13:25nardulAnother question, is it possible to center the writing on the screen, instead of it being top right
19:13:26nardul?
19:13:35bluebrotherwhat writing?
19:13:43bluebrotherin the wps you can center lines.
19:13:43nardulbluebrother, File listing, menu's
19:13:48nardulNot in the wps
19:13:48bluebrotherno
19:13:53nardulOkay, thanks
19:14:06bluebrotherat least, not without hacking the code ;-)
19:14:11nardulhehe
19:14:16nardulI'm not at that level yet :)
19:14:24nardulWould just look better with it centered.
19:14:43Slasherilinuxstb: hmm, indeed.. of course if buffer is "smart" enough, it would only copy the necessary data to fullfill the request to the guard buffer

19:15:11nardulbluebrother, You seem to know stuff :) Could you tell me if people are working on the battery usage on ipods? And if they're making progress?
19:15:31linuxstbSlasheri: I don't think you'll be able to convince people dynamic memory is a good idea... ;)
19:15:37Slasherihehe :)
19:16:33bluebrothernardul: the battery issue has a main problem: there are no public datasheets available for the processor, and no one knows what is causing the battery drain.
19:17:07bluebrotherpeople _are_ interested in solving this issue, but without documentation it's simply guessing around
19:17:25nardulhm, okay. So it'l ta<ke a while i guess.
19:17:31bluebrotherand as the processor is a SoC you can't simply measure which chip gets hotter when running Rockbox.

19:52:20nlslinuxstb: hmm, no, will do

23:41:49saratogapreglow: i wanted to ask you last night, why does doing a 64x64 multiply make any difference if the inputs are only 32 bit anyway?
23:42:41preglowsaratoga: not at all

23:43:35preglowsaratoga: misread that somewhat, doing a 64x64 bit multiply and a 32x32 gives the same result for 32 bit ops
23:44:16preglowi think the reason arguments are casted to long longs usually is to make the c compiler understand you want a 64 bit result

23:45:00saratogai assumed int_64 var = 32bit1 * 32bit2 did that

23:58:17merbanan2 IIRC
23:58:36saratogai thought MDCTs were either 256 or 2048 samples?
