#rockbox log for 2007-05-26

00:00:35Lloreanos10: There's no bounty system in place at the moment
00:00:48jhMikeSor...maybe I'm wrong since the button init should be called ?? hmmm
00:00:48linuxstb"at the moment" ?
00:01:02Lloreanlinuxstb: Well it seems unlikely, but you can't really rule out the future, can you?
00:01:14LloreanI don't think a bounty system would work terribly well here, though
00:01:22os10ok
00:01:26krazykitsweet, my build works :-D
00:01:44krazykitand i must say, i like the switched buttons on the gigabeat
00:01:47jhMikeSif anyone wants someone rounded up a brought in for randsome, I'm game
00:02:08linuxstbLlorean: Personally I don't like them. Bounties ignore the foundations the person who gets the bounty is building on...
00:02:27Lloreanlinuxstb: Yeah, that's a pretty significant reason I'm not fond of them either
00:02:43LloreanIt's like only giving the gold medal to the last runner on the marathon team.
00:03:57os10hmm. didn't intend that. more like, the chance to sponsor some features that might not appeal to the majority
00:04:05 Quit mr_pink (Read error: 110 (Connection timed out))
00:05:13jhMikeSLlorean: yes, I guess it is that...right now it's depending on the timer interrupt until this GPIO IRQ is figured out and that's not started there. I suppose a little hackeroo to button_read_device for the BL would work.
00:05:27os10but if everyone benefits from the extra configurabilty, whiy not..?
00:05:47LloreanjhMikeS: That might be nice. The updated "Do not rescan" bits for the OF require the new bootloader, which then doesn't respond to keypresses (not a necessity in most cases, but still ;))
00:05:49jhMikeSthe scrollwheel is of no consequence there, right?
00:05:54LloreanNo consequence at all
00:06:02jhMikeSok, then it's real simple
00:06:39 Part rift_
00:07:07Lloreanos10: There's often a balancing act in regards to adding features into the core of Rockbox. While plugins are pretty much a shoe-in if they work on all targets, core features often have to overcome several questions relating to how much benefit they offer, vs the binary size increase and overall complexity increase.
00:07:27Lloreanos10: This is partially because some older hardware has limitations the new players don't, and partially because it pays in the long run to try to keep things manageable.
00:07:54LloreanThat being said, there aren't that many unpopular features that are also likely to get included in SVN Rockbox (in my opinion)
00:08:23linuxstbos10: Do you have any features in mind?
00:08:37os10undrestood. i'm just... excited about the possibilites that can't seem to be acheived throgh mainstream OEMs.
00:08:47Buschelok, i will quite now (my wife's complaining since an hour now:) we will see again in the next days

00:09:39linuxstbos10: Also, I think Rockbox is still going through a major stage of expansion to many different devices - and lots of those ports (e.g. the ipods) are not yet as good as we would wish.
00:09:49 Nick midkay_ is now known as midkay (n=midkay@63-226-219-199.tukw.qwest.net)
00:09:59Lloreanlinuxstb: On the plus side, os10 seems to have tried it on the Gigabeat F, which is pretty solid.
00:10:10linuxstbIndeed it is.
00:10:41linuxstbThe Toshiba firmware is still getting in the way, so it will be very nice when Rockbox has a bootloader in flash.
00:10:55Lloreanos10: There's no doubt Rockbox offers a lot of possibility. There are some exciting features that may show up by the end of the summer, included better voice functionality for blind users, and maybe even Album Art.
00:12:58os10for a long time, i held Rio Karma/Carbon firmware as THE stardard. RB is past that, functionally. which is a _huge_ achievement IMO
00:14:30 Part TrueJournals
00:15:30jhMikeSLlorean: Are buttons supposed to work in the bootloader despite the hold button?
00:15:31os10Toshiba F40 w/RB is damn near perfect
00:16:42LloreanjhMikeS: No, I don't believe so.
00:19:01os10LloreanL have you had a chance to handle the Trekstor Vibez..?

00:25:33SliMMmy 5g 30 gb ipood reads from the hdd almost all the time
00:25:50SliMMan i think this causes the playback issues
00:25:54SliMMand*
00:26:11SliMMwhat should i do?
00:27:44Soapusing the most recent current build?

00:28:38SoapEQ and other sound-shaping options on or off?
00:28:48SliMMit's been doing that for a month or so

00:29:19Soapdoes it do it with the EQ off?

00:32:00Soapwith the EQ off?
00:32:03SliMMor just skip the current track

00:32:13Soapand with the EQ off?

00:32:47SliMMi'll do a test tommorow, butwith eq off it still reads from the hdd all the time
00:32:51*Soap suspects SliMM is using 4 (if not all 5) bands of the EQ and overloading the teeny tiny iPod CPU.
00:33:15SliMMi'm using 5 :)
00:33:36Soapthat's your problem. I say that with 95% confidence.
00:33:47SliMMwill i have the same problems with hw eq?
00:33:51Soapnope
00:34:19SliMMgood, i'll use hw eq then
00:34:22SliMMthanks
00:36:58preglowsomeone with 5g needs to check out that hw eq once and for all
00:37:04preglowi'd rather just see it become a bass/treble control
00:37:58midkaypreglow: what about it?
00:38:11preglowwell, right now, it looks like it supports all five bands, no?
00:38:17SliMMwhat is cuesheet support?
00:38:22preglowwhile it really just supports lowshelf and highshelf controls
00:38:26preglowSliMM: support for cuesheets
00:38:38midkaypreglow: exactly, so.. what do you need to know about it? that's about all there is to know.
00:38:40SliMMcuesheets being what?
00:38:43preglowSliMM: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cue_sheet_(computing)
00:38:49midkaythe two extremes are all that work, apparently.
00:39:00preglowmidkay: well, if the middle ones don't work at all, they shouldn't be there
00:39:05midkaythough i'd vote against making it bass/treble, because adjusting the cutoff frequency is useful.
00:39:17preglowthere's no point in having something non-functional for all time just in case it might work in theory
00:39:22midkaypreglow: ok, i don't see how that requires some investigation by someone with a 5g. :)
00:39:29preglowmidkay: we can do that on all the other targets too
00:39:43preglowmidkay: i say we choose on of them, and make it a bass/treble control
00:39:46 Quit Thundercloud (Read error: 110 (Connection timed out))
00:39:57*midkay votes against..
00:39:59preglowthe fact that we can select cutoff hasn't stopped us on all other targets
00:40:13preglowwhy should 5g be special?
00:40:16SliMMsoap: eq was the problem :P
00:40:21midkayi didn't say that. i don't want to lose that ability is all.
00:40:30preglowwell, you never should have had it :>
00:40:36midkaywell we should toss bass/treble and introduce a HW EQ for all targets.. or make bass/treble cutoff adjustable.
00:40:42midkayhaha. :)
00:41:00preglowi'd just like greater consistence
00:41:08preglow5g has no bass/treble controls, afaik, yet has a hw eq
00:41:19preglowall other targets with similar hardware is the other way around
00:41:27midkayright, i don't see why we should lose or omit functionality is all.
00:41:39preglowok, so we should port all other targets to have a hw eq?
00:41:40midkayi vote very strongly against losing my ability - that i already have - to adjust the cutoff.
00:41:45midkaysure, that sounds excellent.
00:41:58midkayor, keep it called bass and treble, but make the cutoff adjustable. same thing.
00:41:58preglowok enough
00:42:15preglowbut we still should adjust the screen as it is, it implies there are controls which don't seem to exist
00:42:30midkaypreglow: that makes sense, sure.. it really confused me for a while. :)
00:42:46midkayi only found out on IRC that the three middle filters didn't do anything.
00:42:46preglowi won't do any of this anyway, since i don't have a 5g
00:43:17preglowthey are in the docs we have, but the chip in the 5g might not have them, since the doc doesn't match the chip rev exaclt
00:43:20preglowexactly..

03:24:27LloreanAnd it's rather unlikely for it to be ported.
03:25:25saratogathe problems with the current fixed point wma decoder are strange
03:25:38saratogagives almost exact results most of the time
03:26:02saratogathen suddenly it'll throw out random crap for 500-1500 samples once and a while, with just a hint of the actual music underneath
03:26:28saratogait sounds like clipping, but the "clipped" samples are often louder then the correct ones

03:30:43saratogait does it everytime, sure
03:30:50saratogathe decoder is deterministic
03:31:01saratogajust theres nothing obviously different about the troubled parts
03:31:32saratogathey can be blocks of any size, the file i'm using has LR stereo only, and its CBR with fixed frame sizes
03:32:21saratogaunless i'm missing something stupid, the troubled parts and the correct parts pass through the same code paths
03:33:50LloreanI'm just wondering, it couldn't be a buffer overflow or anything? I know I'll start with an assumption like "the audio triggers it" and then discover that it was triggered by the amount of data processed so far instead, which would still result in a deterministic location of the glitch.
03:34:39saratogai don't think so, since I've tried seeking to the middle of the frame, and I still get it
03:34:52LloreanGotcha
03:35:00saratoganow that i think about it, it may be due to some rounding error
03:35:09saratogait seems to happen during drum beats
03:35:25saratogaeven though its well below peak, maybe it loses the top most bit or something?
03:35:39saratogaah, i'll dig into this tomorrow

03:40:27jac0bhttp://home.earthlink.net/~jacob.brooks/untitled.jpg here is my problem
03:40:30SoapI am assuming, jac0b, that you are using a build with album art, and that the theme in question has been updated to the current WPS code, and the theme in question does not also use the BMP resize or scroll margins patches, and your album art is properly named and sized?
03:41:07LloreanIt looks like it's a scroll margin issue
03:41:28jac0bdo I need to turn off the scroll margins
03:41:32Soapif you remove the line with the volume on it - does the blank space go away?
03:42:52jac0bthe space gets smaller when I removed the volume
03:43:28mirakhi
03:43:28Soapand the track time line is the other perp. I assume?
03:44:13jac0byep that was it the volume and time were messing it up
03:46:29Soapnarrows down the tags you need to inspect.

03:52:48summatusmentishow does rockbox read the music an ipod? does it read iTunesDB?
03:53:00LloreanWhat exactly do you mean?
03:53:16LloreanFor playing music, the most basic method is just opening the file from the disk and playing it.
03:53:35LloreanIf you mean "How does Rockbox index the music in its database", Rockbox scans known filetypes and indexes the tags itself, it doesn't do anything with the iTunesDB
03:53:59SoapApple isn't really that evil when it comes to the iPod and the Apple Firmware's database. The files are simply renamed, all their tags are left attached.
03:54:24summatusmentisLlorean: so rockbox doesn't touch the iTunesDB, and I could just put more music on the iPod via USB mass storage, and rockbox will add it to the DB?
03:54:53Lloreansummatusmentis: It'll add it to Rockbox's Database, yep
03:54:57Soapit will add it to _Rockbox's_ database, Apple Firmware won't see it.
03:55:07summatusmentisSoap: right, that's what I'm asking
03:55:46Soapjust making sure - there are a lot of implied questions on here at times.
03:55:47summatusmentisso, assuming I want to keep using apple's firmware in addition to rockbox, my best bet is to add to iTunesDB, and rockbox will add it on it's own, correct?
03:56:03LloreanYeah
03:56:14summatusmentisSoap: I'm sure :-D
03:56:15LloreanRockbox only automatically indexes new songs if you have "Auto-update" on
03:56:28summatusmentisLlorean: ok, I'll get to that once I get it installed
03:56:44LloreanBut you can also just manually choose "Update" when you know you've added songs, as an alternative

04:23:10Lloreansummatusmentis: I do have to ask, what prompted you to skip the section for Installing the Firmware?
04:23:23LloreanIt seems people like to skip it, and we haven't figured out how to make it more clear that it needs to be done.
04:23:45summatusmentisLlorean: it's doesn't jump out at you
04:24:14summatusmentisyou see installation instructions for the bootloader, and it's OS specific, it just makes you think it should be there...
04:24:23LloreanThe section called "2.2.3.  Installing the firmware" doesn't suggest that you need to do it when trying to install the firmware?
04:25:05LloreanIn fact, in the bootloader installation section it even asks you to make sure a .rockbox folder exists, so you have to skip that step too.
04:25:11LloreanWhat would you suggest we add?
04:25:15summatusmentisI was scanning, and I didn't really read it
04:25:25summatusmentisI would just make the install more bold, make sure people see it

05:43:39krazykitheh, wps is much easier than i thought.
05:46:12terinjokesif your decent with image editing, can make some pretty nice ones too...
05:47:04krazykitright now i'm adding album art to an existing one
05:47:12krazykitmodifying it some as well
05:47:38krazykiti suck at image editing though. i need to work on my GIMP skills
05:47:44terinjokesha! i can never get album art to work on my player...
05:48:01*terinjokes snickers at the though of GIMP
05:48:08krazykitwell, i just made my own build
05:49:11krazykithm, the sim seems to render some things a little funny
05:49:52terinjokeswhat's your distro?
05:49:56krazykitnm, that's an error in my source files :-(
05:50:06krazykitstupid bad eyes not catching it
05:50:09*krazykit runs debian sid
05:54:00terinjokesi'm in the process of diciding between gentoo and osx (on my iBook G4)
05:54:29krazykitugh, not gentoo, seriously
05:54:34krazykitespecially on a g4
05:54:40krazykitcompile times are a bitch
05:54:57terinjokeskrazykit: I'm not bother by it...
05:55:21krazykiti switched away from gentoo :-/
05:55:53terinjokesI can't stand anything besides gentoo (especially that horror of ubuntu)
05:56:18terinjokesi don't understand why people like ubuntu...
05:56:52terinjokes(in the same regards, I don't understand why people want linux on there ipods... rockbox is just so much better)
05:56:55krazykiti'd rather use debian if i was gonna use it
05:57:14krazykitubuntu is easy, is why people like it. you don't have to tweak or play with stuff
05:58:03terinjokesubuntu was the opposite of 'easy'.... gentoo was so much easier...
05:59:19krazykiti guess it depends on why you want gentoo. is it the configurability? the bleeding-edge-ability? ricing?
06:00
06:01:18terinjokesin gentoo everything (besides sleep) kinda just worked... and portage is the easiest (and best) package manager i've ever used
06:01:45krazykityou could use freebsd :-P

07:07:18krazykitwould it be a horrible idea to increase the WPS cache size?
07:07:39LloreanWell, any memory you spend there is being removed from somewhere else
07:07:44LloreanIt's less memory to buffer audio in.
07:08:05LloreanWhich means that everyone who doesn't need it increased still loses a little audio buffer despite that, since it's static sized.

08:52:42RedbrevaAny Sansa users about? If you go to 'Save Theme Settings' - which button is OK/Accept/Save??
08:54:45midkaycouldn't you just try a few different ones?
08:55:36LloreanRedbreva: You may also want to try a long-press of various buttons.
08:56:42RedbrevaI have tried loads... so far I have added A, deleted g and cancelled ! - The manual did not help either, not in section 9.3.3 which relates to that menu at least
08:57:59RedbrevaBugger - it's 9 in the sim....
08:58:28midkayyou must not have tried all the buttons.
08:58:40RedbrevaTrue....
08:59:08RedbrevaLife would be easier if all the sims used the same button mapping.... :-(
08:59:15midkay { ACTION_KBD_DONE, BUTTON_UP, BUTTON_NONE },
08:59:32midkay"up"?
08:59:36midkaydid you try that?
09:00
09:00:25Redbrevayep, I have now (9)... just not that intuitive to press UP to accept, but left to cancel I suppose
09:00:50midkaycancel seems to be "power".
09:01:02midkayanyways, i agree that it's not intuitive, but regardless, that's what it is.
09:01:14RedbrevaThanks anyway ;-)
09:01:32midkaysure :)
09:01:48Lloreanmidkay: On the Sansa, "Up" is the Play/Pause button actually
09:01:53LloreanIt's just placed at the top of the wheel
09:02:07midkayi see.
09:02:20LloreanSo it's not really "Up"
09:04:48midkaywell, i put it in quotations... it says "up" in the file, that's all i can suggest without knowing the sansa keymap.
09:05:11LloreanYeah, I was more talking in the context of logic
09:05:12midkayif someone told me to press "up" on an iPod without really knowing the keymap, i'd probably assume that if scrolling didn't work, it might be the "menu" button.
09:05:29LloreanWhile "Up" makes little sense for a confirm button, Play/Pause makes a decent amount of sense
09:05:41midkayoh, i see.
09:05:58 Quit Rob222241 (Read error: 110 (Connection timed out))
09:06:31LloreanSo I was just trying to explain why I suspected someone picked what, to someone who didn't know the physical keymap, might seem a direction button for the confirmation. :)
09:06:46RedbrevaIt's the Sims where I have the problems... Play is + on the ipod, but 9 on the Sansa, Menu is . on the ipod, but 1 on the sansa etc...
09:06:50midkayLlorean: thanks, i get it. makes a little more sense. :)
09:06:56midkayyes, quite weird..
09:07:11LloreanRedbreva: Play is above the wheel on Sansas, below the wheel on iPods
09:07:52LloreanIn Jewels, Menu moves upward on the iPods, Play moves upward on the Sansa, and the up button on the cross moves upward on the Gigabeat.
09:08:29LloreanI think there'd be more confusion if you made 9 always be play, than if you tried (somewhat) to line them up with how they're positioned physically (though I'm not sure this is done either)
09:09:38amiconnWhy isn't the play/pause button of the Sansa called BUTTON_PLAY in the code? That makes no sense
09:09:59Lloreanamiconn: I couldn't begin to guess.
09:10:01RedbrevaSure... I think the sansa keypad mapping is probably more logical than the ipod mapping (again in the sim), but I have got used to the latter!
09:10:25Lloreanamiconn: Probably the same reason that the the 'Circle' button on the H10 is called "BUTTON_RIGHT"
09:10:34terinjokeslol
09:11:56amiconnOn the Player the play button is also the top one on the 4-button "plate", but still called BUTTON_PLAY. Same goes for the ipod 4G button pad, where Play is at the bottom
09:12:46amiconnLlorean: Left and Right are somewhat special as they are the only buttons existing on all targets. That doesn't mean we cannot break this rule if it's necessary for a target...
09:13:47*amiconn wonders what a circle button is
09:14:01Lloreanamiconn: The H10 doesn't really have a Left/Right, but it has those two buttons on the front face that are to either side of the finger slider.
09:14:24 Quit dudleif ("Leaving")
09:14:29LloreanThe one on the right, roughly equivalent to "Select" on other players I believe, is the "Right" button for the H10
09:14:39LloreanErr, Right/Circle
09:15:17amiconnDo they have some kind of non-generic marking?
09:15:48LloreanAs far as I understand, it just has a circle on it
09:15:57LloreanIt's used for "Next Track" in Rockbox, so got called "Right"
09:16:02LloreanBut in the manual it's referred to as "Select"
09:16:25amiconnAnd the left one?
09:16:28LloreanNo clue
09:16:30LloreanI don't have an H10
09:16:51amiconnWell, Right duplicates as Select on the Ondio as well
09:16:51LloreanCancel
09:16:55LloreanWith a Left Arrow on it
09:17:04LloreanHm
09:17:10LloreanThere are actual Prev/Next buttons on the H10 too it seems
09:17:16amiconnOkay, then it makes some sense to call them Left and Right
09:17:16Lloreanhttp://download.rockbox.org/manual/rockbox-h10/rockbox-buildch3.html
09:17:37amiconnIn the code, I mean
09:18:21LloreanYeah
09:19:12amiconnBut on the Sansa I would call the top and bottom buttons Play and Menu, respectively.
09:19:24LloreanSame here
09:19:25amiconnIt's basically the ipod layout mirrored vertically
09:19:34LloreanOf course, it'd also be nice if the bottom button opened the main menu, instead of the context menu
09:19:48LloreanThe buttons are a little crazy at the moment on the Sansa

10:14:31[IDC]Dragonhow would I do the streaming?
10:14:44amiconnJust hand the http: link to the player program
10:14:56*[IDC]Dragon is glad to have sysadmins in here
10:14:58webguest08yeah i couldnt find it in the manual, but it was on my moniter for hours yesterday cos i couldnt figure out why i couldnt install it - the reason? WindowsME...
10:15:21webguest08which was the reason i couldnt update the original firmware too
10:15:23amiconnOf course http streaming is not as reliable as a dedicated streaming protocol, but then mp3 isn't the ideal format for streaming anyway
10:15:44[IDC]Dragonplain IE is too stupid for that, downloads the file and passes it to media player
10:15:51amiconnShoutcast doesn't do much more than plain http streaming. The only extra is embedding metadata in the stream afaik
10:16:25amiconn[IDC]Dragon: Link->context menu->copy address to clipboard->paste in player program
10:17:25amiconnBut you can put the link to the stream in a .pls file (shoutcast playlist) and link that from your webpage
10:17:48amiconnThen the browser will download the .pls and pass it to the configured viewer for .pls
10:18:00amiconnWinamp, Deliplayer, whatever
10:19:12[IDC]Dragonlots of tinkering, I was hoping for a more out-of-the-box solution, since the problem doesn't sound too exotic to me

11:42:24markunPaulJam: I don't think I'm an expert, but what's the problem?
11:45:24PaulJamto me it seems as if the mpegplayer skips to the next keyframe as soon as the decoding is a few frames behind and the video then runs at ~2 fps until the audio is in sync again.

11:48:42PaulJamand i was wondering if it wouldn't be better if the player would only jump to the next keyframe when the audio is at the position of the keyframe. so the video decoding might have the chance to keep up with the audio before the next keyframe.

12:02:44amiconnpreglow: What would be needed to figure out the hw eq capabilities on the G5?
12:03:02amiconnMaybe use a frequency sweep, and record the output of the ipod?
12:03:20preglowamiconn: i really don't know, since the docs aren't known to be exact, and retailos isn't sure to be using the hardware either
12:03:43preglowwell, you'd hear it if you managed to trigger peaking filters
12:03:50 Quit lini ("lini has no reason")
12:04:00amiconnI mean when using it in rockbox, so that we can tell for sure whether the peaking filter work or not

12:04:33preglowa logarithmic frequency one
12:05:56preglowor a linear one if you're just going to look at the results on a spectrum analyser
12:06:16preglowlogarithmic sweeps make it easier to obtain an impulse response to use in modelling, but we don't probably want to do that
12:07:00amiconnHmm, when using a spectrum analyser, white noise should work too?
12:07:17*amiconn isn't sure whether audacity can do spectrum analysis
12:07:30preglowit can, but it's really crap at it
12:07:43preglowi haven't yet found a Good spectrum analyzer in linux
12:08:44preglowwhite noise can work, but it's hard to see changes in the amplitude response that are small, due to the random fluctuations in the spectrum
12:10:38*amiconn is running windows
12:11:45preglowcool edit's (now adobe audition...) spectrum analyzer rocks
12:12:07amiconnThat one 's not free software...
12:12:57preglowindeed not
12:13:11preglowbut free software and audio so far go badly together
12:13:45preglowprobably isn't even a demo now that adobe has bought it
12:17:50*amiconn thinks about performing some tests regarding the hw eq on LinusN's G5.5
12:18:38preglowwould be very cool, i don't like the half-assed solution we have now
12:18:52preglowif it only has bass/treble controls, that's what they should be called
12:20:23amiconnThe lcd is indeed decent, in that it is readable w/o backlight
12:20:41amiconnDepends a little on the colour scheme though
12:21:20amiconnMaybe we could modify the lcd driver to update the lcd to pure b&w (or just the 8 pure RGB colours) whenever the backlight is off

14:25:17*amiconn remembers the 700+ bytes on SH due to Slasheri's endianess stuff, which was mostly because of exceeding 4 parameters for a number of functions

15:38:55DomonokyAceNik: battery life is only bad on ipods and similar players..
15:39:14n1sYeah but it's always good to improve it
15:40:53AceNikwell you know we have load DB to ram, Dircache,update DB tracks, & other stuff that happens on startup each time
15:41:23AceNikso when these thin occur they do take 2 minutes to happen & finish & let the player settle down
15:41:44 Part TrueJournals
15:41:57AceNikso i was thinkin if rockbox could have 2 modes in startup
15:43:19AceNikwhere the first one is where these functions do take place to do the need ful , but once they stored their data to be used by the player somewhere , the second time when a user shuts down the player it goes into a semi state n starts in 2 seconds, & ready with the needed data
15:43:34AceNikso it doesn't calculate the stuff neede again
15:44:20n1sAceNik: ah, you want a sleep mode
15:44:22AceNik& thus if a user feels he has updated his music collection or added any new data on his DAP he can select that his next startup be the original one , & things can be refreshed aain
15:44:38AceNikkind of a sleep mode if you call it that way
15:45:06DomonokyAceNik: disable auto-update of the db and update manually, that does the same :-)
15:45:15n1sAceNik: dircache however has to be updated whenever the disk has been changed...
15:46:11AceNikDomonoky:n1s: both of these functions are just a part of the data processed, the bootloader itself does a lot of calulation n processing
15:46:51AceNiki was thinking if this data could be stored in ome place n if a state be created by the player to start up at
15:46:53DomonokyAceNik: thats not true.. the bootloader does onyl minimal initalisation..
15:47:00n1sAceNik: I agree, a sleep mode could be useful to lot's of people
15:47:24n1sDomonoky: but on many of the newer targets startup is pretty slow
15:47:34AceNikDomonoky: well think of it does you player start in exactly 1 second
15:47:56AceNikDomonoky: if no it does some processing which is also consuming battery
15:47:56CtcpIgnored 1 channel CTCP requests in 0 seconds at the last flood
15:47:56*n1s whishes someone made rombox for h300...
15:48:00Domonokyon most players the OF loader tkaes the most time..
15:48:17AceNikDomonoky: i mean this mostly also for the ipods n h10 which suffer with poor battery
15:48:35AceNikDomonoky: Of is no where associated with this
15:48:37DomonokyAceNik: a sleep mode would waste battery, not save..
15:49:08DomonokyAceNik: the OF loader normally loads the rockbox loader, whitch in turn loads rockbox ( on most players)
15:50:27Domonokyand if you flash a h1x0 or an archos player, it will start in 1-2 secondes.. :-)
15:50:49AceNikDomonoky: im refering to mostly the ipods n irivers
15:50:55PaulJamAceNik: afaik what you suggest is already the case where it is possible. for example on h100 when the firmware is in flash the dircache doesn't get rescanned if no usbconnection was established, but when there is still the possibility to boot the OF and modify files there then has to rescan the files on every boot (because it isn't aware if the OF was started).
15:51:01n1sDomonoky: yeah but this is a pretty frequently requested thing and would get around both slow of loaders and dircache scanning takin time, I do however agree that it will not likely save battery unless users power on and off their players frequently
15:52:29Domonokyi dont think the rockbox people would like a sleep mode, it wastes battery, better optimise the loading process, and/ or figure out to how to flash a firmware in those players
15:52:59AceNikPaulJam: i know thats the dircache works on all players, but the question here is can we get around to making this happen where the user selects the mode to start up in ,

15:55:25AceNiklike once the player shut, allt he data calculated with dircache , DB loaded to RAM everythin is lost , can we make it possible to preserve it & then reuset hat data itslef, so that even if the Dircache is off, that same data is used without being processed again
15:55:46Domonokyit would be very bad if the dircache differs form the actual harddisk content..

16:00:34AceNikwell thats y im saying there be 2 modes where the user decides what to start with , once he starts his player & shuts it ,before shuting down he decides whether he would like a normalstartup
16:00:58webguest12Hey, I need help. Help of any kind will be greatly appreaciated. Why has the Rockbox interface changed? And why when I installed the new Rockbox the WPS theme is set to the default black and white one?
16:01:24AceNik& i also suggest if all the data requires the the rockbox firmweare be there somewhr ina temporary place on the disk which it uses to exeute in the sleep mode
16:01:35Slasherirombox/"rambox" for iriver does exactly that.. it preserves dircache&tagcache (hibernates them on disk)
16:01:43justthisguyanyone?
16:02:22 Quit robin0800 (Read error: 104 (Connection reset by peer))
16:02:35AceNikSlasheri: but the point is integration into the rockbox itself , whichneeds to be possible , the iriver h10 Of has it , can we learn from those codes
16:02:36Domonokywebguest12: perhaps you deleted your config ? or you updatede from a very old build..
16:03:09webguest12but.. i just downloaded the theme.
16:03:19DomonokyAceNik: i dont think the work needed for a sleep mode, would be worth it, but if you like you could code it of course :-)
16:03:20stripwaxwebguest12 : - or maybe the WPS theme you're using no longer works with the latest rockbox.

16:03:53webguest12so erm.. how do i identify which themes are compatible with the latest rockbox?
16:03:59PaulJamwebguest12: the new wps parser is more strict concerning syntax errors in the wps and loads the default one if there is an error
16:04:19AceNik webguest12:during recent changes to the WPS parser all the wps's have beeen affected so please open up the .wps files in an editor & if you c a space between any conditionals omit it , like it should be %?ia<> & not %?ia <>
16:04:30stripwaxwebguest12 : - try them ;-)
16:04:47stripwaxif you run the simulator, it should output error messages if the wps doesn't parse
16:04:54AceNik webguest12:omit spaces in the conditionals
16:04:55webguest12oh
16:05:08stripwaxwebguest12 : - which WPS, could you point us to it?
16:05:09SlasheriAceNik: correct bootloader is the key that it can detect changes to the disk, there is no magic
16:05:21AceNikDomonoky: if i was of that brilliance in programming a code i would have left a patch already

16:06:35AceNikSlasheri:the thing is not only the dircache , its even the bootloader processing , if there could be a state where it has already gained access to the disk & saved all it processed data somewhere & starts up from there again
16:06:37stripwaxNico_P did you get any stats on how much more efficient the tokenised wps display code is compared to the old code?
16:06:53Nico_Pstripwax: do, I didn't
16:06:57Nico_Perr, no

16:08:03DomonokyAceNik: i dont think you took a look at the bootloader, thats wrong, the bootloader is normaly very minimal..
16:08:25PaulJambtw, is there a compiled windows binary of the standalone checkwps tool available somewhere?
16:10:42Nico_PPaulJam: there is one as a patch
16:11:14Nico_PFS #7179
16:11:35Nico_Pnot sure it works under windows though, but I don't see a resaon why it shouldn't
16:11:46 Quit Weiss ("leaving")
16:12:23webguest12I omitted all the spaces and the problem still persists. Any other way to solve the problem?
16:12:35PaulJamyes, i know. but it would be nice if there would be a compiled version available, so people who experience problems with their wps can use it without learning how to compile.
16:12:46Nico_Pwebguest12: try the WPS in the sim
16:12:49AceNikwebguest12: which theme is it ?

16:13:05Nico_Pwebguest12: on an SVN build ?
16:13:21webguest12err, whats that? =x

16:13:42Nico_PPaulJam: sorry, I read your question too quickly... there's no windows compiled version that I know of

16:16:25webguest12i dont even have album art.
16:16:30stripwaxNico_P - senab build supports album art btw..
16:16:50Nico_Pwebguest12: that's not the point... does the WPS have it ? does the build have it ?
16:16:55webguest12so, erm. anyone here knows any problem-free rockbox theme?
16:16:59stripwaxwebgues12 - could you point us to the wps you're using
16:17:08webguest12i dont think so
16:17:14stripwaxwebguest12 - the wps gallery on the rockbox wiki should contain wps that work

16:18:16justthisguystrange. If I plug the cable into the ipod first, and then into the computer, it seems to work, but not the other way round. $B"L(B.$B"L(B
16:19:03*stripwax is confused, but oh well
16:21:09stripwaxwhy can the iriver port power off the hdd but the ipod port can't? is it just that we don't know how to do that yet?
16:23:27justthisguystripwax: probably, it'll just be different hardware and stuff
16:23:41justthisguyanyway, I thought I saw an option for harddisk spindown
16:23:45webguest12finally, the WPS works! THANKS GUYS.
16:24:11stripwaxwebguest12 - what did you need to do to get it to work.
16:24:27webguest12i realised that the album art version needed a patched build
16:24:29justthisguyyeah. Is spindown not the same thing as poweroff?
16:24:37webguest12i used the non album art version and it worked. (:
16:24:44stripwaxwebguest12 - yep, makes sense :-D
16:24:52webguest12lol =D
16:24:58stripwaxalthough if you're using chris banes build it already has album art o_O?
16:25:25stripwaxjustthisguy - no, spindown is just 'standby' and the hdd still draws power, poweroff is 'off'
16:25:34justthisguyok
16:26:13webguest12erm, another question. besides the database, how is the updated rockbox better than the previous version?

20:50:15TheGoomanOr perhaps another way to check a WPS?
20:51:02n1sTheGooman: ther's this http://www.rockbox.org/tracker/task/7179
20:53:48TheGoomanAlright, thanks. I'm thinking, though, I'm using a patched build; How would this factor into the use of this tool?
20:55:43n1sTheGooman: if the patches affect the wps in any way you will have to build the tool with the patches included but somone experienced problems earlier when using patched sources and building the tool
20:56:56stripwaxTheGooman - which patches are you using? www.beermex.com/checkwps.exe has the scrollmargins and albumart patches built in
20:58:33TheGoomanstripwax: Ah, thanks. I'm using Evilg's Fusion build.
20:58:56stripwaxWhat's the recommended way (in a plugin) to load a random .bmp file from (anywhere on) the drive .. ? Do I have to do the full directory traverse myself?
20:59:54TheGoomanstripwax: http://evilg.cleansoap.org/README-EvilG-Fusion-20070525.txt
20:59:57stripwaxI'm extending the sliding_puzzle game to pick an arbitrary bitmap. Works nicely so far, although I've hardcoded the bitmap path for now
21:00
21:00:31TheGoomanOh, nice
21:01:08TheGoomann1s: I'm pretty much a novice at this...how would I go about building the tool?
21:01:38stripwaxTheGooman - hm, almost all of those patches will change the wps tags built into the checkwps tool. might be best to ask EvilG to provide a copy of the tool?
21:02:53 Part JerryLange
21:03:17n1sTheGooman: yes asking EvilG for a patched tool is probably best, cause he knows about what changes he has made to the wps code.
21:04:56TheGoomanI agree. He has a sim for the build I'm using but, as mentioned before, the sims aren't working for me. For now, the WPS I'm looking to clean up don't make use of those patches so I could definately use the exe you (stripwax) provided. I would like to know, however, how to build the tool from the diff file given on the tracker
21:06:18n1sTheGooman: you would have to set up a development environmen, no need for a full blown one with crosscompilers unless you want to make your own builds of rockbox.
21:07:41n1sTheGooman: here is everything you need to know about rockbox dev environments http://www.rockbox.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/DocsIndex#For_Developers
21:12:48TheGoomann1s: Mhmm. I've already got Cygwin so I'll have to do some more things to it then. Thanks, I appreciate it.
21:13:12n1sTheGooman: if you have cygwin all you need is gcc and svn
21:13:37TheGoomanYup
21:15:02TheGoomanstripwax: when I run the checkwps you linked to I get a flash of cmd and then nothing
21:15:29n1sTheGooman: it is a command line tool, run it from a command line :-)
21:15:32stripwaxTheGooman - you need to run it from the cmd line itself. run command prompt, then "checkwps yourfilename"
21:15:42TheGoomanAh, gotcha
21:21:34TheGoomanThanks all, c'ya later.

22:10:58pie-chanLlorean! hi!
22:11:07pie-chanthanks for your work on the 80 gig ipods :)
22:11:50LloreanOh, I had nothing to do with those, I believe that was mostly Amiconn.
22:11:58pie-chanwhat i mean is... the folder that contains the music from the original ipod firmware isn't showing up
22:12:10pie-chani see calendars, contacts, notes
22:12:11LloreanSet the file view mode to show all files, rather than just music
22:12:15pie-chanomg.
22:12:18LloreanI believe the ipod_control folder is marked as hidden.
22:12:30LloreanAnd Rockbox respects hidden files and folders except in the "All" mode
22:12:58pie-chani see :>
22:13:06LloreanIn Music, Supported, or Playlists, the iPod_Control folder will be hidden.

22:13:35pie-chanoh, i used to use rockbox a long time ago :P

22:40:24amiconnThanks to devcon I got access to such an ipod, otherwise I couldn't have done it.
22:41:31Lloreanamiconn: Ah, I was only referring to the writing of the code that allows it to work, but yes, I should've been more clear.
22:41:50*pie-chan licks amiconn
22:42:21pie-chanyou made a lot of people happy, at least
22:43:17amiconnAt devcon we decided to do it in the ata driver (the simple solution, with some performance penalties as a drawback). The advantage is that it works now, and can be improved gradually by adjusting the fat and filesystem layer
22:43:38amiconnIn the end it might be possible to remove the sector caching again
22:43:40pie-chanwhat are the cons
22:43:45pie-chanslower or something?
22:45:26amiconnYes, in some cases. But it doesn't hit overall rockbox performance much
22:46:18amiconnLlorean: Once we worked out the basic idea, writing that code wasn't that much work, especially since the MMC driver has to do a similar thing
22:46:33pie-chanyay teamwork!
22:46:41pie-chanwhat are the plans for the future, amiconn?
22:46:49pie-chanalso, what is the video support for video ipods?
22:47:07LloreanSame as the rest of Rockbox. See the PluginMpegplayer page in the wiki for full details
22:47:17*amiconn estimates the time for actually working on that code as roughly 5 hours. The rest was just testing, lots of testing
22:47:38pie-chanso it plays mpeg.
22:47:47Lloreanamiconn: Oh, this seemed like something you might have an opinion on: http://www.rockbox.org/tracker/task/7213
22:47:53Lloreanpie-chan: MPEG1/2, not MPEG4
22:48:09pie-chanoh :(
22:48:12pie-channo h264 for me then
22:48:25LloreanWe can't use the broadcom chip, so have to do all decoding on the main CPU
22:48:31LloreanFar, far, far too slow for h.264 on that screen
22:50:55amiconnLlorean: Looks a bit too simplistic to be safe (== not cause unwanted glitches)
22:51:46pie-chanLlorean, why is it not possible to use that chip?
22:51:51amiconnIt's not really worth the hassle; the slowdown from unaligned reads is minimal on all swcodec targets I made (or got) disk speed logs of
22:51:59LloreanAlright.
22:52:17amiconnBut with MoB we will most probably have to do something like that anyway
22:52:26pie-chanis it because only the apple firmware can use it?
22:52:28Lloreanamiconn: I just know that on the 5G, some people were claiming Rockbox seems to spend a very long time buffering, and was wondering if this could help improve that.
22:52:43amiconn(in a safe way, i.e. the data header will contain the correct data length
22:52:49Lloreanpie-chan: It's because there's no hardware documentation, so we don't know how to make it do anything but the very few things we have it doing already.
22:53:21pie-chanLlorean, we did it with the 5.5g ipods
22:53:27pie-chan:P
22:53:30amiconnLlorean: The logs from G5 show that read speed difference between aligned and unaligned is <5%
22:53:36Lloreanpie-chan: Did what with the 5.5G iPods?
22:53:40pie-changot them working
22:53:55LloreanYes, but that's not equivalent
22:54:01pie-chani know it's like playing with something in the dark
22:54:05LloreanNot the same, though
22:54:06pie-chanbut im sure with time and effort
22:54:07pie-chan:(
22:54:25amiconnThe very long buffering time has another cause: too much CPU load (enabling eq, crossfeed etc, with codecs already running near the limit)
22:54:50LloreanSo, dual core will probably help that a good deal?
22:55:18pie-chanoh
22:55:24Lloreanpie-chan: With the HD issues on the 5.5G, it was a case of them doing something that was strictly legal, but not "suggested" if I understand something. It was an unknown cause, but within known bounds.
22:55:24pie-chandoesnt apple's firmware have a good font
22:55:28pie-chanwith japanese/russian support?
22:55:36amiconnPriority scheduling gives more cpu to the codec in that case, in an effort to prevent skipping. All other threads suffer, which includes the playback thread which does the buffering

23:15:43LloreanHow much binary size does that patch add?
23:16:02midkayyes, it's certainly a possibility, we already have some "extended LCD functions" in the plugin library for triangle drawing etc.. i know someone already created a transparency patch as well.

23:44:17*Llorean wonders why people continually refer to the size of the 30 Gb, and such iPods as 30 Go
23:44:32amiconnThey're french..
23:45:27LloreanBut Go is supposed to technically differentiate between the marketing Gb and the binary Gb
23:45:36LloreanShouldn't Go be the one you explicitly don't use in regards to the iPods?
23:45:49Bagderyes
23:45:49*Llorean may misunderstand
23:45:56amiconn'o' stands for octet, i.e. 8 bits. They're trying to avoid the too much english-sounding word 'byte'
23:46:14amiconnIt has nothing to do with binary vs. decimal

23:48:35LloreanAh, I was introduced to it as "Gigabyte is too ambiguous, Gigaoctet specifically means 2^30, whereas Gigabyte can mean 2^30 or 10^9", but I only had that one person's definition.

23:51:27 Quit mirak (Remote closed the connection)
23:51:32amiconnThe archos Ondio firmware uses Mo even when set to german. Clearly a sign of its origin...

23:54:42pie-chanand the folder structure
23:54:45amiconnSOunds like a task for a script
23:54:51pie-chan:(
23:55:05amiconnIn windows I'd use vbscript for such things
23:55:39LloreanIf you had your music all under a /Music/Artist/Album/Genre or even /Music/Format/Artist/Album/Genre folder structure, you wouldn't be in this problem today. :-P
