00:00:34Domonoky_somebody should buy preglow a gigabeat S :-)
00:00:50amiconnbah
00:01:03amiconneven more overkill hardware than the gigabeat f and x
00:01:09saratogahaha
00:01:13amiconnboooring
00:01:16saratogawas just going to ask what you thought of this thing
00:01:37saratogastill, its pretty cheap

00:04:17saratoga"The screen is a 2.4” QVGA 320 x 240 pixel screen. I would compare the screen to something you would find on the latest Windows Mobile Pocket PC."
00:04:31preglowamiconn: sure, me too, but it's also fun with something new
00:04:51Joelybluebrother, you still there??
00:04:56saratogastill, i hope other players go this way in the future, instead of using proprietrary DSP cores
00:04:58Lloreansaratoga: As far as I'm concerned, most WIndows Mobile devices I've seen have worse screens than the daps I own
00:05:02bluebrotherJoely, yup
00:05:10Joelyhttp://www.rockbox.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/RockIR
00:05:12amiconnsaratoga: I'm not interested in high resolution, or colour, or sth like that
00:05:30bluebrotherso why not port Rockbox to Windows Mobile and run that on the S? ;-)
00:05:30amiconnThe most important thing is a screen that is readable w/o backlight
00:05:42sejanisIriver H10 shows in windows my computer as an "audio device" with no drive letter to load the bootloader and firmware for rockbox, does anyone know a workaround?
00:05:44saratogaah, was going to ask what you looked for
00:05:45Joelybluebrother, i still have to edit that part of the wiki for a while...
00:05:57amiconnThe only rockbox targets which fulfill that are the non-colour ones, and as I recently learned, ipod video and nano
00:06:14Lloreansejanis: Don't use MTP mode, you have to be in UMS mode
00:06:30amiconnI even prefer the archos player screen over any of the other colour screens
00:06:31saratogai mostly just keep the player in my pocket anyway, so screens aren't a big deal to me
00:06:32bluebrotherJoely, looks like a nice start to read at least.
00:06:58bluebrotherthere are color screens around which you can read without backlight?
00:07:04amiconnyes
00:07:05saratogamy old gameboy had one
00:07:09preglowmy nano isn't half bad
00:07:09bluebrotherwow
00:07:14preglownot as good as the h120,but not bad either
00:07:57amiconnbluebrother: I already knew that there is this kind of colur lcds... and now know that the ipod video and nano fall into this category
00:08:09*amiconn has to check the video's display in direct sunlight
00:08:32saratogathat reminds me, I still think the Nintendo DS would be a fun target, since theres CF and SD card adapters for it, and the dev kit already has GPLed drivers

00:23:43chrisjs169what does 'PANIC Stkov sd' mean?
00:23:49preglowstack overflow
00:23:59chrisjs169so stack overflow on sd?
00:23:59preglowsd? don't know. sansa?
00:24:04chrisjs169yeah
00:24:10preglowusing sd patch?
00:24:23chrisjs169yeah, but i don't have an sd card
00:24:37amiconnThat's odd then
00:24:46 Quit BHSPitLappy (Read error: 104 (Connection reset by peer))
00:25:09amiconnThe only situation where the sd thread needs signifiant amounts of stack should be a (re)mount of an sd card
00:25:28amiconnUnless the sd thread does something weird that the mmc thread on ondio doesn't
00:25:34Lloreanamiconn: The internal flash is "sd" too, I think
00:25:41LloreanAt least, I have an sd stack without the sd patch
00:25:46chrisjs169well, it didn't exactly happen to me (i don't have a Sansa with me because Sandisk is taking forever...) but it was a problem someone mentioned on ABi (they don't have a microsd card though)
00:25:47preglowah
00:25:49amiconnLlorean: That doesn't matter, since that can't be hotswapped
00:26:08chrisjs169( http://www.anythingbutipod.com/forum/showthread.php?p=127035#post127089 )
00:26:25Lloreanchrisjs169: The ABi people should learn to properly interact with the developers of the software, ie coming here and actually reporting bugs properly, I think.
00:26:50Lloreanamiconn: Yes, but could other activities mean a lot of use of the 'disk' stack?
00:26:54chrisjs169Llorean: yeah
00:27:13amiconnThe sd thread doesn't do much when no swapping is involved
00:27:27amiconnWithout hotswap, this thread doesn't even exist
00:27:40Lloreanamiconn: I don't have the sd patch installed, I have an sd thread on my sansa at 75%

00:28:18chrisjs169if Llorean is right about the internal memory being sd based (I believe it is too) then is it possible that could be the cause?
00:28:48amiconnThe ondio internal flash is also mmc based, yet the thread is only necessary to handle hotswap
00:28:59LloreanIt could just be poor naming of a thread.
00:29:21amiconnhmmmmm
00:29:54*amiconn must be cautious with slapping forehead, in case he watches the channel ;)
00:30:00Lloreanchrisjs169: Though as far as I know, the stkov you're talking about doesn't happen to anyone using the official builds

00:40:08LloreanWell, feel free to ask them.
00:40:17chrisjs169I did
00:40:19LloreanBut I'm not sure why they're reporting bugs there if they're using official builds.

00:41:02Lloreanpetur: So, progress?
00:41:04chrisjs169Yeah, but I guess they figure it'd be more active there then on Flyspray
00:41:31peturLlorean: yes, the usb stick now flashes twice :)
00:41:53Lloreanchrisjs169: That doesn't make any sense. How's a bug in the official version supposed to get fixed if people don't report it?
00:41:55peturbut I only see something happening when I remove it :/
00:42:11Lloreanpetur: Still, somewhat exciting news. :-P
00:42:40peturwell I found some time to work on it again :)
00:42:50chrisjs169Llorean: I know it doesn't really make sense, but maybe they figure it's common, even though Google shows nothing
00:43:31Lloreanchrisjs169: In the thread you're talking about though, he did say "it was working with sd earlier" (paraphrased) which suggests to me at least that he was using the patch.

00:54:24amiconnThe sd patch doesn't change this
00:55:22amiconndisk_mount needs quite a bit of stack
00:55:55amiconnThe other strangeness is that the sd patch replicates the 'remove card...' behaviour of the Ondio
00:56:31amiconnThat's not desired behaviour, it's a technical shortcoming on the Ondio that doesn't apply to the Sansa afaik

01:01:45mpeccorinijac0b, export/hotswap.h is probably included in another file and is not in the -I path in the makefile for that file
01:02:30jac0bso do I need to change the make file
01:02:30mpeccorinijac0b so make tries to compile it by itself and obviously doesn't find a rule to "create" a .h
01:02:55mpeccoriniyes, you need to add a new -I including the folder where "export" is
01:03:12mpeccorinior change the #include to point to the file

01:14:09major_worksWhen the patch was reposted a couple of days ago, a bunch of stuff was omitted from it.
01:14:40major_worksYou need to compare the latest version to the version before and paste back in the stuff that's missing in the new version.
01:14:45jac0bmajor_works: the one posted from today
01:14:55major_worksYes.
01:15:22jac0bokay so I need to merge the 2 files togther
01:15:30major_worksBasically, that's right.
01:15:46jac0bhow is that done?
01:15:54major_worksIt patched and compiled fine for me after I did so.
01:16:52major_worksOpen both versions of the patch in separate Wordpad windows and compare them section by section.
01:17:22major_worksUse the new one as your final version and paste in the stuff from the older one that's missing.

01:23:32bluebrothermoving cuesheets into a different folder removes clutter?
01:23:49Nico_Pbluebrother: from the file browser, yes
01:24:04linuxstbWhy not just make cuesheets not a supported filetype?
01:24:09Nico_PI know I could just have display set to music instead of all
01:24:10bluebrotherI tend to disagree ...
01:24:22bluebrotherlinuxstb was faster −− just wanted to say the same
01:24:26Nico_Plinuxstb: because there are supported
01:24:34Nico_Ps/there/they
01:24:42linuxstbI know there's a cuesheet viewers, but I can't see the point in that either...
01:24:53linuxstb^viewer
01:25:18amiconnThere are other filetypes in rockbox which are supported in a way but not included in the 'supported' view
01:25:25amiconn...e.g. the .talk files
01:25:37LloreanThere's somewhat of a history of providing a folder for storing "supplemental" files in Rockbox already
01:25:43LloreanSpecifically the playlist folder for the catalog
01:25:49Nico_Pwell at least part of my commit is useful : the duplicate code removal
01:26:17Nico_Pif really everyone is against the other part I'll remove it
01:26:24Nico_Pbut I don't see how it hurts anyone
01:26:35preglowi can tell you of one cuesheet feature you can replace it with :>
01:27:18pixelmaNico_P: well first - some yellow
01:27:26Nico_Psilly me
01:27:27bluebrothercuesheets are overrated anyway :-p
01:27:31preglowi'd rather keep the cuesheet handling simple myself, though, if you ask me it isn't really logical to look for cuesheets any other place than in the dir where the audio track is
01:27:57amiconnIt's not logical to look for cuesheets at all :P
01:28:22preglowheh
01:28:27*Llorean finds the FmPresets pages have become ridiculously complex.
01:28:43Nico_Phaha I see cuesheet support is probably rockbox's most mocked feature :)
01:29:02*amiconn rather uses −−nogap on hwcodec than using cuesheets
01:29:05bluebrotherI never understood what cuesheets are good for on a dap
01:29:17linuxstbNico_P: Yes, but I've also forum posts where people say how much they like cuesheet support...
01:29:23pixelmaLlorean: any idea to make them better?
01:29:34linuxstbbluebrother: Simply so people can play the same files everywhere.
01:29:35bluebrotherLlorean, maybe something similar to rockbox-themes for fm presets?
01:29:41Lloreanpixelma: Well, it's all the individual .zip files, mainly
01:30:01LloreanSomeone adding a .fmr file is required to update many files, rather than just adding his text update to the page, then updating the one "total" .zip.
01:30:10Nico_Pbluebrother: now I can listen to chaptered podcasts in a nice way
01:30:13LloreanIt really doesn't need all the divisions it's given, I think.
01:30:13bluebrotherand a script could generate the zip file on the fly
01:30:15amiconn(especially now that I have a nice automating transcoding script) :)
01:30:18preglowi think cuesheet support is great
01:30:21Lloreanbluebrother: A script would make it even easier, yes.

01:30:43LloreanYeah
01:30:47bluebrotherI might even be interested in looking into it. When I manage to finish this uni stuff :o
01:30:48Nico_Ppreglow: how's that ?
01:31:26Lloreanpixelma: I just think the process should be simple: 1) Download the complete .zip. 2) Add your FMR to the appropriate place. 3) Go to the corresponding wiki page for the .fmr and upload it, then overwrite the complete .zip
01:31:41LloreanInstead we may often have a "USA" zip that contains presets the complete one doesn't, or vice versa.
01:31:45LloreanThere's even a Texas zip.
01:31:48jac0bmajor_works: sorry its my g/f's b-day had to cut the cake, but thanks for the help
01:31:56pixelmaLlorean: I just wanted them to state when it was uploaded so someone knows that this specific fmr might not be included in the zip
01:32:07bluebrotherLlorean, I would prefer to be able downloading individual files
01:32:09chrisjs169having nothing else to do, I was looking at the sd stack overflow problem, and noticed that there's also a mmc_stack in addition to sd_stack. what's the difference?
01:32:18Lloreanbluebrother: Downloading individual .fmr files should be fine.
01:32:22Lloreanbluebrother: But I don't like regional compilations.
01:32:32LloreanUnless they're automatically updated on .fmr upload
01:32:39bluebrotherso, I think it would be best to automate that.
01:32:51preglowNico_P: seeking performed better than i would have thought
01:33:09Nico_Ppreglow: in speed or precision ?
01:33:18Lloreanbluebrother: Automation would make me just as happy.
01:33:18bluebrothereither update compilations on file upload, or (that is a bit more what I'm thinking of) give the user a list with all files and let him tick those he wants.
01:33:24pixelmaLlorean: the main concern was just that the list(s) got very long
01:33:26bluebrotherand then generate a zip file with all those files on the fly

01:34:27LloreanOne .zip file was already iffy enough, I thought, because an upload date just tells you when the last person added to it, not whether it's actually complete relative to the full list.
01:34:40*linuxstb wonders why people seem to be abbreviating place names to 8 characters in the FM presets
01:34:57bluebrotherman, will I ever get able cutting down that list before I'm really old?
01:34:59pixelmasurely I can understand that
01:34:59preglowNico_P: precision
01:35:16Nico_P:)
01:35:25Nico_Pwell that's not my code anyway... it's all in the codecs
01:35:43linuxstbNico_P: I still get annoyed by the cue-sheet specific seeking behaviour though - i.e. not seeking back to the start of the current track when pressing PREV.
01:35:49Nico_Pbut I'm pleased you like it... funny how some people love it and other hate it
01:35:58preglowNico_P: how is it possible to hate it?
01:36:03preglowit's not even intrusive
01:36:08pixelmalinuxstb: guess most of it was my fault (still working from the assumption that they aren't allowed to be longer) :/
01:36:12Nico_Ppreglow: ask amiconn:)
01:36:26Nico_Plinuxstb: I am too but I really didn't find how to do it the right way
01:36:27preglowNico_P: he hates cuesheets, not the cuesheet support
01:36:45Lloreanpixelma: Perhaps the whole problem is more related to the fact that it's not manageable at all, anyway. =/
01:36:48preglowif you don't like cuesheets, i assume you keep the feature switched off
01:37:03Nico_Plinuxstb: the problem is mainly with VBR MP3 I think
01:37:12preglowi'd just like it to be always on and remove the setting
01:37:14Nico_Ppreglow: 100% agreed
01:37:42amiconn100% disagreed
01:37:47Lloreanlinuxstb: The wiki page actually says "(the name must be less than 8 characters long)"
01:38:01amiconnA waste of ram for no good... cuesheets are flawed by design
01:38:08preglowsure
01:38:16pixelmaLlorean: that's outdated
01:38:17Nico_Pamiconn: I agreed on the "if you don't like cuesheets, i assume you keep the feature switched off"
01:38:18preglowstill doesn't prevent the fact that a lot of them exists
01:38:34preglowmp3 is also quite old and crummy, better codecs exist now
01:38:40preglowso we should remove support, right?
01:38:42LloreanOf course
01:38:43preglowwaste of good ram
01:38:58LloreanRemove support for "until the patent climate becomes less hostile to those using MP3 technology"
01:39:44amiconnpreglow: I don't say the feature should be removed... but the option to disable it has to stay
01:40:02preglowpft, what is an extra disk access these days anyway ;)
01:40:32amiconnStill, I haven't seen any cuesheets in the wild, only temporary ones (for ripping cds), and the one I created deliberately for testing the feature on archos
01:40:49preglowi've seen plenty, lots of people still don't know better
01:41:12idnarI've often seen CDs distributed as a single FLAC/wavpack/whatever file with a cuesheet

01:41:40preglowyeap
01:41:43Nico_Pamiconn: I have now found a way to extract a cuesheet from a chaptered MP4 podcast... that's at least one major use I will have until real chapter support arrives (if it does one day)

01:42:29linuxstbNico_P: Do you have any links to chaptered mp4 files I could download?
01:42:39preglowi don't want to cut anything, i want rockbox to be able to listen to my music as it is
01:42:49preglowif i have to pre-process anything, rockbox is wasting my time
01:43:02amiconnpreglow: Why shoudl I concatenate separate tracks and the have a list where the split points should be, rather than having the tracks separate as they should be
01:43:05Nico_Plinuxstb: sure. http://nicolas.pennequin.free.fr/rockbox/dancin-2007-01-06_51.53.m4b
01:43:18Nico_Pyou might not like the music though :)
01:43:18amiconnAlso, a bunch of smaller files is easier to handle than a single giant one
01:43:38preglowamiconn: that's a matter of preference, some people would say they prefer fewer files to many
01:43:49linuxstbNico_P: It's OK, I don't plan on listening to it... ;)
01:43:52Nico_Pamiconn: in the case of a podcast, the tracks are concatenated to begin with
01:43:53amiconnSomething like chapter marks _in_ the file make some sense... though not with music either
01:44:27Nico_Plinuxstb: today I wrote a program to extract the chapters as a cuesheet
01:45:01linuxstbWhy extract them, why not just read them in Rockbox?
01:45:03LloreanNico_P: Could that just be incorporated into an interaction between the metadata parser and cuesheet handling without an intermediary file?
01:45:19preglowamiconn: it depends, some might say one cd "belongs" in one file
01:45:40preglowamiconn: and stuff like dj sets also fit logically in one file
01:45:41Nico_PLlorean: I'd love that but my program actually uses an other one that outputs an SRT file and then parses the SRT to a CUE
01:45:50preglowwhile track info might still be nice
01:45:56amiconnpreglow: Then the metadata would belong there as well, and not in a separate file
01:46:01LloreanNico_P: I'm guessing the SRT one isn't GPL then.
01:46:21preglowamiconn: agreed, but i believe that qualifies more as "impractical" than "flawed by design"
01:46:24Nico_PLlorean: not sure... it's open source though : MP4Box from GPAC
01:46:45Nico_PI'll have a look at it
01:47:41LloreanNico_P: LGPL
01:47:56LloreanAt least, GPAC is described as that at their official site.

02:02:10Nico_Pand actually I think there's no real standard way of doing chapters in MP4
02:02:31LloreanIf we're going to add support for chaptered MP4, perhaps we should fix the long standing "MP4s over a certain size don't play" issue

02:18:58linuxstbNico_P: No, that's OK.
02:19:29LloreanShak-: Because nobody's updated the page, and not all hardware features are implemented yet (no FM Radio, no SD slot, etc)
02:19:44LloreanShak-: Assuming you're talking about the feature comparison table, it's not updated often these days
02:20:09Shak-ah
02:20:40LloreanBasically, it existed because there was a good deal of difference between what the H100 and the Archos could do under Rockbox, I believe.
02:21:02LloreanNowadays, most software codec players are pretty much the same other than a few general rules like "If it doesn't have a radio chip, it can't do radio"
02:21:03amiconnIt compares rockbox vs. of
02:23:06amiconnNot many people can update that, as it requires knowledge about what the of can do

02:24:37linuxstbNico_P: Looking at that m4b file in hex editor, it seems full of all kinds of rubbish - xml files, pngs, jpegs, ... But it seems that the chapter information (at least the track titles) is multiplexed within the file, not neatly at the start. So reading it in Rockbox may not be very efficient.
02:24:41LloreanI think dropping the OF comparison aspect of it from the list entirely may be useful. Instead just a comparison of what various players can do under Rockbox
02:24:54Shak-is rockbox the only effort for new firmware on media players (besides ipodlinux for the ipods)
02:25:44amiconnLlorean: I don't agree. That would remove the main point of the chart, and would just convert it into a rockbox feature list
02:25:57Nico_Plinuxstb: yes, I read that somewhere about AtomicParsley: it would require a muxer/demuxer to be able to read/write this kind of chapter info
02:25:58linuxstbShak-: There's the archopen project for the newer Archos devices.
02:26:48linuxstbNico_P: If Rockbox can play the file, then it must contain demuxing code.
02:27:12Nico_Plinuxstb: yes, so maybe it would be possible to demux the SRT with not too much code
02:27:16linuxstbSo that would be a start - you would then need to change it to demux the subtitle stream instead of the audio stream.
02:27:38linuxstbAlthough the demux code will be in the codec, not in the core (get_metadata) where it's needed for chapter parsing.
02:28:43Shak-is the iriver clix on the to-do list at all for iriver devices?

03:34:23XavierGrdoes the 8 character-long limitation exist on settings that require a path for files? (e.g fm presets, setting files etc.)
03:35:24XavierGrbecause the part on that says not longer than 8 characters name on the FmPresets wiki page was written by me. At the time all those files should be less than 8 characters in order for rockbox to remember them on the next boot
03:36:04XavierGrbut at that time the default settings file was written on a special disk sector instead of a simple file
03:36:59XavierGrso for sector capacity reasons the path to those files was not stored on te settings file (.cfg)
03:37:22XavierGrI should probably test it my self

03:42:48XavierGrwell at least on radio level the limitation still applies, if you want the preset to be remembered after boot, it must be saved on the /.rockbox/fmpresets directory
03:43:01XavierGrI am not sure though if that limitation exists anymore on the saving of the configuration file

06:56:38RMenes379Someone around?
06:56:59Zideryeps
06:57:48RMenes379I just registered on the Rockbox Wiki to do some editing and contribution.
06:58:06ZiderI've been planning to do that too
06:58:07Joelyhey RMenes379
06:58:16Ziderfor a couple of days at least ;)
06:59:05RMenes379Mine's longer term than that.
06:59:17RMenes379Mine's for as long as I'm using Rockbox.
06:59:24RMenes379Which will be for a good long time.
06:59:36ZiderI don't have a supported player, so.. :)
06:59:48RMenes379What are you using?
06:59:56Zideririver S10
07:00
07:00:28RMenes379Have you tried to look for any technical information about the player?
07:00:39RMenes379Perhaps you can help jump start a new port for it.
07:00:43ZiderI've found pictures of the interior
07:00:53Ziderthat's what I was planning on posting
07:02:02RMenes379Wait... the iriver S10... which one is that one?
07:02:07RMenes379I haven't seen that model.
07:02:09Zidertiny 2GB player
07:02:13Ziderquite new
07:02:27alienbiker99oh that one, thats really small

07:02:34Zideryeah
07:02:51RMenes379The only irivers that I've seen up close are the H120 and H320.
07:02:57RMenes379But that's what I want to post.
07:03:12alienbiker99i miss my H120
07:03:14RMenes379My girlfriend gave me her FM presets from her iriver H320 for the New York City region.
07:03:44RMenes379And I want to post it to the wiki, seeing that the only two regions posted for New York are both upstate.
07:04:28Ziderahh I found the pics again :)
07:04:43alienbiker99RMenes379 what stations?
07:04:59ZiderI dunno how to start anything at the wiki tho
07:05:11ZiderI suck at formulating stuff like that
07:05:13RMenes379All of the major stations from New York City and surrounding regions.
07:05:37alienbiker99i listen to some NYC stations, less now, i live in central jersey so i get a lot of stations
07:06:21RMenes379But isn't that a pain? I mean, whenever I travel across Jersey, right around halfway through the state I lose the NYC stations and start receiving the Philadelphia stations.
07:06:40RMenes379A pain, it is!
07:07:16alienbiker99it depends, it gets annoying but i dont travel to south jersey a lot but when i do usually just play stuff from my mp3 player

07:08:50RMenes379At the bottom.
07:09:54alienbiker99on the wiki or in rockbox?
07:10:28RMenes379From the main Rockbox page, pick the "Extras" on the sidebar, then scroll to the bottom of the page, and you'll see the link to the FM Presets.
07:10:50alienbiker99oh ah isee
07:11:04alienbiker99i killed my H120 =( and my H320 battery is dead
07:11:14alienbiker99ballooned on me
07:12:08RMenes379A shame, that is. The irivers are some great little devices.
07:12:09Ziderballooned?
07:12:25RMenes379Did he blow it up like a beautiful balloon? :)
07:12:29Ziderthere's two things I don't like with this S10
07:12:34Zidersmall things tho
07:12:37alienbiker99hahah its like internally explodes sorta
07:13:01RMenes379What's bad about the S10?
07:13:13chainlynxhey all, I have a fourth-generation (grayscale) ipod and I'm installing rockbox for the first time... I've downloaded and installed the current build for my platform, but I don't (think) I have the fonts package installed yet... I've downloaded the fonts zip file but the docs don't say where to put it on the iPod... does anyone know where I'm supposed to stick the fonts files?
07:13:18Ziderthey use some weirdo playlist format, and not m3u/pls.. and they don't turn off completely, they just go down in "powesave mode"
07:13:18alienbiker99its a replacement battery and most of them balloon, but im in the process of tryingto find a working motherboard for the H120
07:13:30alienbiker99Zider pls or plp?
07:13:35Zider.pla
07:13:54alienbiker99ah thats what i meant, yeah its what they use on MTP devices
07:14:00RMenes379chainlynx: Open the fonts zip file, and just extract that folder to the root of your device.
07:14:10Ziderand it's a really dumb format too
07:14:19ZiderI hacked up a script to create playlists
07:14:38alienbiker99and it really only started going to sleep mode with the H10 ...trying to be ipod like
07:15:03Ziderit CAN be turned off completely.. but you need to access the reset button for that :P
07:15:11alienbiker99Zider, ive been looking for a script for my gigabeat, but trying to find one that doesnt copy the song a second time
07:15:15ZiderI'm nagging them for a setting for ut ;)
07:15:22Ziderit
07:15:55RMenes379I never liked that sleep mode with the iPod.
07:15:59chainlynxRMenes379: ah, ok, as simple as that... thanks
07:16:09ZiderI never liked iPods ;)
07:16:21RMenes379But Rockbox makes them all the better.
07:16:34Ziderthey're still ugly

07:17:07Zidera what?

09:03:25JdGordoncoolies :) I'll have a play after I get some uni work done :p
09:03:28Slasheriand the pointer reference table is fixed in size, so menu entries could be even moved

09:07:21 Quit aliask ("ChatZilla 0.9.78.1 [Firefox 2.0.0.3/2007040314]")
09:07:39JdGordonmy understanding is it replaces, unless you dont specify a new root, in which case it adds to it..
09:08:13*JdGordon thinks it shuold be read just before the end of tagnavi.config instead of at the begining so less menus need defining in the custom file
09:08:44midkayoh, i see..
09:09:55LloreanGodEater: I once had to have someone redirect the output of a directory listing on their player to a text file to finally get a straight answer as to what files were where.
09:10:23LloreanI though the custom one was just inserted, if you did it right.

09:11:30GodEaterLlorean: I'll ask him later if he still has problems :)
09:12:50Slasherimidkay: it's appended
09:13:08Slasherimidkay: or included just there where the include clause is
09:13:09JdGordonit replaces if you specify a new rot though doesnt it?
09:13:21Slasheriyes, then it replaces the default menu structure

09:16:03*JdGordon vagualy remembers seeing a patch so even stuff after the %include could be used
09:16:26SlasheriJdGordon: only the stuff before %include
09:16:51Slasherimidkay: yes, if you mean replacing the default root menu
09:16:57Slasherijust use the %root_menu caluse
09:17:00Slasheri*clause
09:17:06midkaySlasheri: got it, was just curious. thanks.
09:17:14Slasherithen the default root menu will be hidden and inaccessible (but it's still there)
09:17:20JdGordonSlasheri: ok, then shohuoldnt the include be the last line of tagnavi.config? or that patch be commiteD?
09:17:21midkayah..
09:17:58SlasheriJdGordon: it can't be the last line because the default root menu has the custom menu reference
09:18:07Slasheriso it needs to be included before that
09:19:30JdGordonSlasheri: then maybe 7003 could be commited? (goin just by the description though...)

09:55:41crop"Acceleration speed" is double. "Acceleration" already means speed change per time unit.
09:56:18Lloreancrop: Yes, but acceleration has other attributes than just speed.
09:56:21crop"Acceleration start delay" is OK
09:56:21linuxstb_Acceleration speed means rate of change of acceleration.
09:56:31LloreanAs you mentioned, it has a time element and a speed element.
09:56:59LloreanHonestly there should be two settings, one that changes the time between increases, and one that changes the increase size (speed)
09:57:06 Quit linuxstb_ ("CGI:IRC")
09:57:14cropIf acceleration had speed it would change in value. But it doesn't change. So it has a value but not speed.
09:57:27LloreanWhat do you mean by "value"
09:58:02cropAcceleration has a constant value, e.g. 2x/3s. But its *speed* is zero since the acceleration doesn't change
09:58:22LloreanThe rate at which it accelerates changes.

10:00:38 Join Thundercloud [0] (n=thunderc@82.153.142.173)
10:00:49Llorean"How fast" often translates to the word "speed"
10:00:55LloreanPerhaps "Acceleration Rate" might make more sense?
10:01:20cropLlorean: no, the acceleration remains const (if seen in the logarithmic way). The speed changes
10:01:43LloreanYes, you're picking that constant.
10:01:53LloreanYou're picking the rate of acceleration. You aren't picking the speed.
10:02:02JdGordonSlasheri: back to the id/title thing to save ram, would it be better to use a number instead of a string for the id? or not too worried about the ram usage?
10:02:22LloreanIf the acceleration changed it would be "Acceleration acceleration"
10:02:26crop"Acceleration rate" is better IMHO. It's correct and it does distinguish the option from the "start delay" option
10:03:10cropLlorean: yes. But since it doesn't change its speed is always zero, so the option doesn't make any sense
10:03:12JdGordonSlasheri: and lastly, could you put a comment on 7003 saying what would need to be fixed before it could be accepted please?
10:03:32Lloreancrop: That statement makes no sense.
10:03:40Lloreancrop: The acceleration changes when you pick it.
10:03:52LloreanThe acceleration has no acceleration, it's constant. You are picking that constant.
10:04:02LloreanThat constant is the "rate of increase of speed"
10:04:27cropLlorean: yes, but not "Acceleration speed".
10:04:29Lloreanrate means "a ratio between two different measurements", in this case, the change in amount scrolled per period of time, a rate of distance over time is also known as "speed" in the english language.
10:04:36croplinuxstb: how can I better explain it?
10:04:55linuxstbJdGordon: Looking at your patch to tools/configure - does that create the recpresets directory for targets without recording?
10:05:19linuxstbs/patch/commit/
10:05:29linuxstbs/configure/buildzip.pl
10:05:34cropThe best would be just "acceleration" or "scroll acceleration". But the former doesn't explicitly distinguish from the other setting
10:05:35*linuxstb goes to kitchen for coffee
10:06:49cropLlorean: so if I've chosen the option e.g. 3x/2s then the logarithmic accel is const and is 3/2 (in some appropriate unit). But it remains const, so its speed is zero.
10:07:21 Part odb|fidel_

10:09:27cropLlorean: with "distance" do you mean how far the cursor advances?

10:10:50crop*named
10:11:05JdGordonyeah, I didnt like the name either, but meh, close enough
10:12:13*Llorean thinks the problem is just a case of the physics definition of speed, which isn't appropriate here, vs the colloquial definition of speed, which is acceptable
10:14:46SlasheriJdGordon: if you find some alternate way for the id, just please do it :) however, numbers in configuration file instead of strings could be confusing
10:15:29JdGordon:) if we arnt worried about the mem usage then im happy if you're happy :)
10:15:34SlasheriJdGordon: the fix should be fairly simple and i have intended of doing it while committing it.. but it just has been delayed, i will try to do it soon
10:15:42Slasheri:)
10:16:09JdGordoncool
10:17:03cropLlorean: maybe. But since I've dealt a bit with the terms the difference is very clear to me :-)
10:17:53Lloreancrop: In my defense, I confused what the 2x referred to in the ratio, you were right that the unit isn't a measure of speed.
10:18:23LloreanBut I still don't think the phrase is inappropriate for how it's used considering it'll make sense to users more this way, I think. Though I think "rate" would be better.
10:19:54cropLlorean: "rate" in the sense of "value". And the accel unit is logarithmic :-)
10:21:02Llorean"Rate" in the sense of "how often the speed is changed"
10:21:36LloreanIn the end, it's apparently "double the speed ever X seconds", so it's just a frequency.

10:22:38LloreanI'm not explaining clearly now
10:22:41LloreanIt is much too late.
10:22:48cropLlorean: yes. So the linear acceleration isn't const but the logarithmic one is
10:22:56LloreanYeah
10:23:37cropBut if the accleration (the log one) is const then its speed is zero
10:24:11LloreanSee, I see "60 cycles per second" as a speed. Or "1 trigger every two seconds". It's how fast an even occurs.
10:24:35cropThat's why I think just "acceleration" would be the best, without specifying that it's really a logarithmic one.
10:24:38LloreanSince you can't change both the 2x and the / X seconds aspects, you can only change the speed of events, rather than the whole acceleration
10:25:04amiconnJdGordon: Did you spot my remarks regarding the sd patch in the log?
10:25:14JdGordonno
10:25:22cropLlorean: ah, then you mean acceleration frequency
10:25:25LloreanYes
10:25:27JdGordoni must have mised them, i did read the log though :p
10:25:36JdGordonamiconn: roughly what time?
10:25:37cropI meant acceleration as applied to the cursor movement
10:25:40LloreanBut frequency is velocity within an oscillatory path anyway.
10:26:03LloreanIt's still distance over time, it's just a case of distance to reach the zero point again.
10:26:10LloreanWell... sorta

12:22:15LloreanMy goal is to bring it more into line with our other targets.
12:22:18JdGordonalso, I like the fact that I dont have t hold the buton to get the contxt menus
12:22:32 Quit Soap ()
12:23:03LloreanTo me, holding down the select button makes a kind of sense anyway, it's almost like right clicking.
12:23:30LloreanMeanwhile, on many of our targets the power and stop buttons are the same button.
12:23:46LloreanThe only target I know of that uses a long press of Play/Pause is the iPod because there isn't a button we can use on its own.
12:24:23JdGordonI really dont see the need for a stop button... pause is good enough, and if you want t clear the playlist, then a long pause is just as simple
12:25:05LloreanLong pause doesn't make much sense though, people frequently enough ask how to stop playback on iPods already
12:25:23LloreanAlso, why is "I like it better" a good reason to make it more confusing for people moving from other Rockbox targets?
12:25:36JdGordonlooking at the keymap... the |button_rel is only needed if its likly that the button is used in another context but it is still needed in this one.. e.g the power button in context_standard
12:25:46linuxstbI'm just looking at a picture of an e200 - what's the icon on the "down" button meant to be?
12:25:54JdGordona drop menu
12:26:03JdGordonits used for the context menus in the OF
12:26:05amiconnLlorean: The difference of a button|BUTTON_REPEAT with and without prereq is very simple:
12:26:18amiconnWith prereq, it triggers only once, i.e. action on long press
12:26:35Lloreanamiconn: Ah, forces only one trigger?
12:27:14Lloreanlinuxstb: My patch basically makes that the "Menu" button as it is on most of the other players.
12:27:19amiconnWithout prereq, it triggers continuously times until the button is released. This is used for actions that should repeat (like increasing/decreasing volume, seeking in wps etc
12:27:29amiconns/times//
12:27:36Lloreanamiconn: Then for my changes, adding the prereq was appropriate it seems. Thank you.
12:27:36*JdGordon thought there was a geater argument for using the buttons as they are labbeled, than using them to get consistancy between targets
12:27:57LloreanJdGordon: The only label I contradict is the small word "Menu" above the power button.
12:28:09LloreanErrr, below
12:28:23JdGordonI know :) I really think hat should be used as it is no
12:28:24linuxstbI think there's an advantage to keeping the "power" button as menu - it means that in plugins where you need four directions, you still have a button free for the menu (or exit).
12:28:25JdGordonw
12:28:38Lloreanlinuxstb: My patch doesn't change the plugins at all
12:28:47linuxstb(that's a pain on the ipods)
12:28:54LloreanIt just aligns the keymappings in the WPS and tree/menus
12:29:10LloreanSo that long-menu gets you the quick menu, long-select gets you the context menu, and the power button serves as stop
12:29:44*JdGordon back in an hourish
12:30:10linuxstbLlorean: Consistency between core and plugins is a nice thing to have...
12:31:07Lloreanlinuxstb: I agree, but I think having the quick menu be an different button from the main menu, and the context menu be a different button from select causes a lot of confusion for those who come from other targets.
12:31:52LloreanTo me, these are part of the fundamental controls of Rockbox, and they're mostly the same on other players.
12:31:55linuxstbIs there a button on the side (top-left) of the sansa?
12:31:59LloreanRecord
12:34:15LloreanIt just seems to me there should attempt to be some fundamental consistencies about how Rockbox works on the players. A sort of input paradigm, where possible, rather than somewhat drastically different controls per target.
12:36:38LinusNusing the power button for menu makes it somewhat risky, since you could hold it for too long to get to the context menu, and turn it off instead
12:36:52LloreanLinusN: Context menu was a short press of a different button
12:36:57LloreanIt was not mapped to the same button as the main menu
12:37:07LinusNaha
12:37:12LloreanErr, quick menu, rather
12:37:13linuxstbWhat's record used for?
12:37:18LloreanRecord isn't used at the moment

12:39:16LloreanTo me, if you're going to present users with the same screens, there's a value in having the same button relations.
12:39:43LloreanWhere the number of buttons permits
12:40:27LloreanThe "Menu / Quick menu" pairing and the "Select / Context menu" pairing are, to me, at the core of this.
12:40:39LloreanWhich is kinda a point I argued regarding the Gigabeat too

13:29:23PaulJamlinuxstb: with the 2007-05-27 dayly build it does not happen.
13:29:52*amiconn thinks that the list acceleration is the culprit
13:29:59amiconnIt has more problems than just that

13:43:12JdGordonno, yeah, thats right
13:43:24 Part Llorean
13:44:28linuxstbOK, so the "2x/2s" setting means that the items_to_skip value is incremented once a second?
13:44:49bluebrothercould this also cause FS #7230?
13:44:59PaulJamthere is another fummy behaviour: if paged scrollung is disabled and you scroll down item by item near the end of a list, the view jumps too early to the start of the list (with the cursor still being at the end of the list).
13:45:30JdGordonbluebrother: yeah, saw that in the thread... it does cause it...
13:45:46JdGordonthat shold be a simpe fix.. just have to find 5 min to d it
13:46:39linuxstbJdGordon: Did you try any other algorithms? e.g. doubling the skip items at each interval?
13:47:01JdGordoneach which interval? the start delay interval?
13:47:29linuxstbThe interval at which you change the skip value.
13:48:01JdGordonthe code to decide how much we skip is gui/list.c:814-835...
13:48:16Nico_Plinuxstb: that would be enourmous acceleration, wouldn't it ?
13:48:43linuxstbNico_P: It depends on the value of the skip interval - it would obviously need to be longer than the current method.
13:48:49JdGordonlike I said, I cheated with the 2nd setting formatter to save bin space... the actual string the uer sees is mostly irrelvant, I could have used numbers instead...
13:49:03JdGordonit only increments.. never doubles...
13:49:18JdGordonif it did double it would be way to fast, as Nico_P said
13:49:18Nico_Plinuxstb: I think it would feel jumpy at one point, but probably still worht testing
13:49:30linuxstbJdGordon: That's what you've just told me - I'm asking if you've experimented with other algorithms, or just went with the first.
13:49:47JdGordoncant really remember, probably just went with the first
13:50:17JdGordonThe cause of the bugs is in the function which replaced the old select_previous and select_next functions
13:50:37JdGordongui_list_select_at_offset()
13:51:56*Nico_P is off ot class (and going to get $500 from google too :) )
13:52:04JdGordonlucky bugger...
13:52:08JdGordonnot to the first part though ;p
13:54:25JdGordonlinuxstb: do you ask bcause the acceleration isnt smooth enough? or not fast enough? or?
13:55:56GodEaterjust to add my 2 cents - it doesn't appear to kick in in an untuitive way either
13:56:01linuxstbJdGordon: My original question was just so that I understood the algorithm you've chosen to use - there are lots of possible ways to implement this acceleration.

13:56:54JdGordonyeah, works great
13:57:01JdGordon_if_ you can keep your thumb going :p
13:57:03GodEaterI'd find it more intuitive if it were kicked in when you really go for it with the wheel
13:57:22GodEateri.e. a great deal of movement in a short space of time
13:57:36GodEaterrather than just, has the wheel been moving for >500ms
13:57:46JdGordonthe button driver speeds up the rate it sends repeat events anyway
13:59:40*GodEater wonders if that's the best approach
14:00
14:00:07linuxstbJdGordon: I think the setting needs to change to more accurately describe what it does. e.g. give a time in 500ms increments.

14:04:32linuxstbHow do the repeat events work for the Sansa's wheel? IIUC, it's a mechanical wheel that you turn, so you can't detect a user touching it?

14:34:36LloreanDrives with more capacity always cost more.

14:57:03B4gderthat we do

14:57:40peturmaybe we could encourage them to use real names if they plan to contribute
14:58:00Zagorlinuxstb: yes we do, but we ask for real name before accepting them
14:59:02LloreanThe problem lies in the fact that people post a patch, not realizing we'll ask for a real name.

15:16:19linuxstbducbian: What you will need to do is to look at the source code to ipodlinux (mainly the kernel, but the original podzilla source code could also help), see where different codepaths/functions are used on the g2 compared to g3, and port those changes to Rockbox.
15:16:27GodEaterlinuxstb: will ipodpatcher work on a 2nd gen ?
15:16:41JdGordonLlorean: yeah, it wont play nice if we allow it without the .icons file
15:17:12JdGordonI tihk, if you create the empty .icons file it will work as expected though
15:17:15linuxstbGodEater: Not sure. If it does, it will install the 3rd Gen bootloader, which may or may not work on the 2nd gen...
15:17:35GodEaterthat'll be interesting =/
15:17:41BlueChipHi. A very quick visit. I threw a guy on the m-list a link for SVN ...it seems svn is dead - or maybe just viewvc? Thought it would be helpful to mention it here
15:17:48GodEateris there a hardware based disk mode in the early ipods ?
15:18:04GodEaterBlueChip: we're aware of the issue ;)
15:18:11BlueChipOK dude ;)
15:18:15BlueChipbyeee
15:18:25linuxstbThe firewire chip is documented (I think), so I think a firewire driver could potentially be written.
15:18:28 Part BlueChip
15:18:35linuxstbducbian: Did the 2nd gen have USB, or just firewire?
15:18:41ducbianJust firewire
15:18:47GodEaterdocumentation, on an iPod component? Whatever next!
15:18:49JdGordonLlorean: definatly, if you create the .icons file with the only entry bei he highest value in the viewers.config file it will work
15:19:05linuxstbGodEater: It's external to the portalplayer chip IIRC.
15:19:25LloreanJdGordon: Highest value?
15:19:38LloreanJdGordon: As in, the largest number so it knows how many icons there are?
15:19:45linuxstbducbian: Have you tried installing the 3rd gen version of Rockbox on your ipod?
15:20:09JdGordonLlorean: yes
15:20:13LloreanAlright

15:20:17LloreanYup
15:20:26LloreanActually, ambidextrous, but with a preference to my left.
15:20:40JdGordonok, startin to make thing clearer now...
15:20:42LloreanI'll catch a ball with my right if it's coming from that way, and that's a common test.
15:21:05JdGordonI ca see how tring to get thepower button with the left hand is a pita
15:21:18ducbianNot yet, I'm currently at work and our linux guy was bullying me about my moaning rather than using some of our resources to attempt to get rockbox working for my hardware.
15:22:16linuxstbducbian: That's probably the first thing to try, and take it from there... The pp5002 ipods are in need of love and attention - no-one is maintaining/developing them currently.

15:24:58JdGordonLlorean: at the expense of a few bytes, I could add an optoin so if there is a line in the .icons file to the effect of "use viewers.config" it would stop reading and assume its all correct, wold tha be ieal?

17:47:36haemmyi thougt that to...
17:47:37linuxstbpreglow: IIUC itunes creates a database on the ipod which stores (as uncompressed bitmaps I think) the album art used by the Apple firmware.
17:47:38haemmytoo
17:47:39croplinuxstb: ehmm... sorry, was a bit off. Where is the description of how it works?
17:47:55preglowlinuxstb: not the worst arrangement ever
17:47:59linuxstbcrop: The IRC logs just before I invited you to complain :)
17:48:08preglowlinuxstb: it's probably going to be keyed by something we can't use, though
17:48:52linuxstbpreglow: Possibly. But the principle is very close to Rockbox's proposed album art support - just that Apple use a database instead of the filesystem.
17:50:32linuxstbhaemmy: I think it's unlikely that Rockbox will read album art directly from the itunes db - but it would be nice if someone wrote a program (or maybe even a plugin) to extract it to files Rockbox could use.
17:50:59haemmywould be very nice *g*
17:51:45croplinuxstb: just read the explanation. It doesn't tell much since it's not specified _how_ the items_to_skip is incremented.

17:52:44preglowlinuxstb: since retailos uses itunesdb, i kind of doubt how much use we can find in the artwork db. we'll be unable to figure out what bitmap goes with what files anyway

17:53:18preglowi never do that, so kind of forgot about it, heh
17:53:27haemmyif rockbox could use the itunes album art db, then it would not be far away to completely integrate itunes
17:53:51haemmythe itunes data on ipod
17:53:57GodEaterI'm not sure we'd be too keen to do that - not a lot of point
17:54:10GodEaterit's only one of our targets that uses iTunes
17:54:19preglowwell, if the integration is by the way of using the database and external tools: sure

17:59:31haemmyis there a significant loss of playing time?

19:10:33n17ikh|Lappyseems like every once in a while the thing just gets overwhelmed and pauses for a few seconds and resumes
19:11:00n17ikh|Lappyonly happens in the WPS regularly, not in the file browser, although it does happen in the file browser occasionally
19:11:08n17ikh|Lappynot that I have a very complicated WPS
19:11:19nlsn17ikh|Lappy: are you using eq, crossfeed or dithering?

19:11:59n17ikh|Lappylet me check
19:12:50n17ikh|Lappynope
19:13:00n17ikh|Lappynot using the EQ, but I am using the coarse bass/treble adjustment
19:13:45n17ikh|Lappybut then again, mine isn't the very latest build, it's a week or two old
19:14:08nlsn17ikh|Lappy: I don't think the bass/treble controls should affect it, the problem is that eq and the other dsp options use a fair bit of cpu power
19:14:20n17ikh|Lappyyeah, I realize that
19:14:24n17ikh|Lappybut I'm not using any :/
19:14:44nlsand as the codec also wants a fair bit of cpu power, especially with higher bitrates there is not enough
19:14:48amiconnDoes the H10 have hardware tone control?
19:14:50n17ikh|LappyI thought the portalplayer CPUs were more powerful than that though
19:14:57n17ikh|Lappyno clue, amiconn
19:16:02nlshmm, seems they are software tone controls
19:16:16n17ikh|Lappyso turning those to zero would probably help

19:19:10n17ikh|Lappyno peak meters, it does have some graphical stuff that I could get rid of if I wasn't too lazy to look for/write a good wps
19:19:39nlsn17ikh|Lappy: the graphics shouldn't make a big difference
19:20:12n17ikh|Lappyhow much of the screen does it redraw every refresh?
19:20:22n17ikh|Lappy(I don't know how rockbox does screen updates)
19:20:27amiconnIt's dynamic
19:20:37n17ikh|Lappyso just what's changed then
19:20:43amiconnIt only refreshes what's changes, approx. twice per second
19:20:54amiconnOnly peakmeters are drawn more often
19:21:29n17ikh|Lappyah
19:21:48n17ikh|Lappywell, I guess it's just a limitation of the portalplayer CPU :/

20:41:41linuxstbaa234238: There's no feature to do that currently. Are you asking if the ipod hardware would be up to it if it was implemented?
20:41:43 Join webguest75 [0] (i=43ad8a99@gateway/web/cgi-irc/labb.contactor.se/x-fefd508115a3d60b)
20:42:58aa234238yeah basically.. well my idea (/dream, it would take a long time for me to get anywhere near implementing but i love a good challenge..) is to have precalculated info on bpm/beat timings of songs and for the ipod to resample the next song to match the tempo and x-fade the two
20:43:00aa234238dj style
20:43:04aa234238just for fun really ;)
20:43:47aa234238see, x-fade obviously exists, but i'm unsure if it actually decodes two streams at once or whether it uses the last few seconds when the other track has been decoded to start decoding the next one
20:43:58aa234238i did have a look at the sources a while ago but it was a bit confusing, thought i'd see if anyone knew the answer
20:44:02 Quit Rob222241 (Read error: 110 (Connection timed out))
20:44:20aa234238my guess is that mp3 decoding would have to be happening at well over 200% realtime for this to even be feasible
20:44:25linuxstbYes, crossfade starts to decode the second track after it's finished decoding the first. Only one codec is running at a time.

20:45:25aa234238ah excellent, thanks for that
20:46:19linuxstbNote that the MP3 figures are for a version of the decoder with some as yet uncommitted optimisations. Current SVN is slower.

20:47:21aa234238and woudl i be right in thinking that resampling works by changing something in the hardware, i.e. its a global thing rather than a "per-stream" thing?
20:47:41linuxstbNo, the DAC is fixed at 44.1KHz - all resampling is in software.
20:48:02aa234238ahh, interesting
20:48:21aa234238so what i'm suggesting might not be impossible, as long as memory isnt the limiting factor
20:48:30aa234238i might look in to it a bit more

20:49:49aa234238yea, you're absolutely right. i was more thinking in terms of i'd like there to be a ~45sec period of time where both songs are playing
20:49:54aa234238which looks like it might not be impossible
20:50:19linuxstbYou could just increase the current crossfade buffer.
20:50:41linuxstbNico_P: Yes, I get those too.
20:50:59aa234238indeed, then write software on the pc side to analyse the tracks, and routines on the ipod/rockbox side to use this info to synchronise the tracks (assuming they are perfectly in sync)

22:23:04saratogabut even in 32 bit precision, he has no overflows at all in my test files, and only occasional problems with some as yet unidentified bug in the huffman coding I think
22:24:35saratogahere you go http://www.duke.edu/~mgg6/rockbox/wmaplay.zip
22:25:21preglowyeah, he mentioned one bug, i remember
22:25:27preglowbut why would huffman decoding bug out?
22:25:40saratogano idea
22:25:44saratogabut it appears to
22:25:54saratogararely, it'll return garbage for a couple hundred frames
22:26:05saratogaat least i think its huffman, or unpacking the exponents or something
22:26:13saratogaits not in the MDCT or windowing at least
22:26:28saratogai spent all night going through those and they appear to work correctly
22:26:34preglownice
22:26:34linuxstbAre you able to create a very small WMA file that exhibits the problem?
22:26:39saratogai think he just added a bug somewhere
22:26:41saratogasure
22:27:08saratogaupdated the wmaplay zip
22:27:16saratogaso redownload it

23:04:17linuxstbYes, that's what I was hoping you had reconciled...
23:04:24saratogaactually, i never got the current SVN ffmpeg to work
23:04:42saratogaso i took the WMA code from it and went with that
23:05:08saratogathey changed something in utils.c that broke all the example code i could find, eventually i gave up in fustration
23:05:55linuxstbI can understand that...
23:06:03linuxstbjimh_jimh: What's your question?
23:06:23saratogaprobably the code you have will have a mountain of crap in utils and cook.c related to "probing" which is how they figure out what a container actually contains
