00:01:41Dwylocdionoea: I also love the interface of jewels on the nano and video so please don’t change it. I have spent many hours playing while listening to my music it and it feels very intuitive.
00:02:53dionoeaDoesn't the scrollwheel bother you ? (I wasn't planing on changing it :p)
00:03:08LloreanThe scrollwheel doesn't do anything in Jewels, I thought...
00:03:18dionoeaIt moves in one of the directions
00:03:18*Llorean hasn't picked up his Nano in some time, though
00:03:22dionoealike the cursor keys
00:03:26DwylocNo i use the scrolllwheel and it works very well
00:03:27LloreanHm
00:03:35LloreanI always used the buttons, I guess.
00:05:00DwylocI use the buttons as well as the wheel. THe wheel to go left and right and the buttons to go up and down
00:07:03Dwylocdionoea: anyway I have just tested star on the nano and it still locks up strate after selecting play on the menu like before.
00:07:42dionoeaah ... I'll have a look tomorrow then. (Does it lockup in the sim too ?)
00:08:34Dwylocbut if you want to remove wheel support anyware could you remove it from brickmania as it makes it un playable on the nano ;)

00:09:17DerPapstin jewels you can scrool through all jewels.
00:09:29dionoeaDwyloc: agreed
00:09:38DerPapstif you reach the end of one line it jumps in the next line.
00:09:48dionoeaTime to get some sleep. Good night.
00:09:53DerPapsti like this concept too
00:09:59DerPapstnight :)
00:10:07DwylocI don't thing star lockup on the sim but its been a long time since I tested (some time last year) so I may not be remebering right.
00:10:18Dwylocgood night
00:10:26DerPapstdoesn't lock up on ipod video sim here
00:10:35DerPapstnot tested on my ipod though
00:12:08DwylocDepPast: Yes I now about the scrolling through all jewels but I only use it on the same line.
00:12:45DwylocIt did not lockup on the video for me as I have played it quite a lot.

00:53:47mpeccorinibut if the bug shows in the sim I can fix it anyway
00:54:39pixelmano, I asked because of a bugreport on chessbox which only was 100% valid as long as there was no menu...
00:55:25mpeccorinipixelma: I'm not sure if I understand. I added the menu to chessbox, is there a bug in that patch?
00:56:04pixelmayou couldn't restart in on the X5 or M5 but now you can through the menu. I asked the reporter if the menu does it or if he still wants to be able to restart it with a button but got no response

00:56:54mpeccoriniif you want I can fix it anyway
00:57:07pixelmano this bug is from before the menu
00:57:22pixelmathat would be something even I could do
00:57:42mpeccorinino reason for it not to work with the keymap, though. don't you think?
00:57:50pixelmaI'm just not sure if it's necessary
00:58:15mpeccoriniwhat do you mean by "even I could do"? are you not a developer?
00:58:41pixelmayes, there is a reason. On the X5/M5 there are only button combos with the power button possible (electrically)
00:59:24pixelmaI am a committer but wouldn't consider myself a developer - mostly doing graphics and manual stuff
00:59:43mpeccoriniaccording to the code you would have to press SELECT and PLAY simultaneously for the game to restart
00:59:51mpeccoriniI see
01:00
01:00:09mpeccoriniperhaps that would help the guy who posted the bug report
01:00:26mpeccoriniperhaps it's a manual bug, I'll check
01:01:18mpeccorinino, the manual is ok
01:01:20 Nick z35_1 is now known as z35 (n=z@adsl-35-178-196.dab.bellsouth.net)
01:02:19pixelmano it's not - select+play is not possible on X5/M5...
01:02:47mpeccoriniohh, I had not understand what you meant by " there are only button combos with the power button possible (electrically) ". Do you want me to change the mapping to POWER + PLAY?
01:04:02pixelmano, button combos with power are dangerous IMO, I'd rather have something with long or short presses of a certain button (rec or play I think)
01:04:23dwarfyim watching u !
01:04:25pixelmaor just have it in the menu
01:04:33mpeccoriniI agree with you about combos with POWER, but I hate long presses
01:04:46mpeccoriniyep, probably we should just leave it in the menu
01:05:04pixelmabut I don't want to decide that because I don't use chessbox much
01:05:26pixelma(without an opinion of a chessbox user)
01:05:44mpeccoriniI do use it a lot, and to be honest, I've reseted games accidentaly more than once
01:06:01mpeccoriniI'll probably remove the reset game keymap from my version :p

01:07:37pixelmahere?
01:08:03mpeccoriniby the way, I want the patch I talked to you about committed because I have a new patch waiting which will allow the user to configure everything from the menu and store the setup
01:08:14mpeccorinithat would allow us to remove the "change level" keymap too :p
01:09:03mpeccoriniwould the "big guys" spend time discussing so minor changes to chessbox?

01:18:06Lloreanlinuxstb: Wouldn't it make sense if there were a "codec" image for WPSes, where it's a single image that is X wide, and Y tall, where Y is a multiple of the number of codecs, so it could automatically show the right codec image based on the codec enum, without using up the normal WPS images (though you'd still need the requisite space for the WPS)

01:18:36pixelmaah, what do you mean with "have the correct date set"? non-RTC targets coming to my mind..
01:20:57[1]mpeccorinipixelma: you're right, I didn't consider non-RTC targets !, I'll fix that
01:21:18[1]mpeccorinipixelma: I mean, the header of the game will store the date when the match was played
01:21:59[1]mpeccoriniI'll make it store ????.??.?? in non-RTC targets, that's what the PGN specification defines
01:22:50pixelmaI don't know how it works but non-RTC targets often use the date info of the build for things like that
01:23:25pixelmaLlorean: I had that thought a long time ago, something like the bitmap part system that's often used in plugins (I once counted number of bitmaps in the folder of the H300 iCatcher and it would have been 29 instead of 89 (with rwps) IIRC)
01:23:54linuxstbLlorean: Yes, I would like to see support for partial bitmaps - not just limited to codecs though.
01:24:50pixelmathat's what I meant too
01:25:55LloreanPartial bitmaps seems a bit complex without some extensive expansion of the WPS context.
01:26:03LloreanBut automated partial bitmaps for enums, much less so.
01:26:20LloreanBut that's just me, I don't know too much about it.
01:26:31LloreanI'm talking 'complex from the wps design side' btw.
01:27:14linuxstbDo all the enums have a fixed number of values?
01:27:25LloreanI believe all except for the volume enum

01:39:07jhMikeSamiconn: what part? :)
01:40:05amiconnThe message in general...
01:40:06jhMikeSamiconn: the code assumed that MPEG1 was available for recording on all targets because 44.1kHz would be there...on Sansa it's not the case
01:41:16amiconnThe sansa can't record at 44.1kHz?
01:41:29jhMikeSI'll try pushing the AS3514 clocking and see but the ADC runs no faster than 1/2 LRCK
01:41:30amiconnOr even 48 or 32.. ??
01:41:54amiconnOdd target, the sansa...
01:42:02jhMikeSThe LRCK is only supposed to go to 48kHz max but the ADC will be running 24 in that case

01:42:47jhMikeSThe recording throws away half the samples since it receives every sample value twice because of that
01:43:53jhMikeSThe OF records files as 24kHz (48Khz but with sample duplication)
01:44:12linuxstbjhMikeS: That's what I'm asking - why is the ordering dependency in the list of codecs a problem worth inventing new WPS syntax to solve?
01:44:38amiconnDoes the sansa have line in?
01:45:22alienbiker99thanks linuxstb its working now =D
01:45:23jhMikeSamiconn: I don't know yet
01:45:23amiconnWouldn't make sense with such a severely crippled recording capability imho
01:45:43jhMikeSmaybe in the connector but I haven't looked into it
01:46:34jhMikeSlinuxstb: I think a minor addition would be enough to label the bitmaps...and we already did a reording to accomodate PCM in hw codec
01:46:54jhMikeS...which meant I had to fix a bunch of WPSs
01:48:10linuxstbI didn't think hwcodec supported PCM...
01:48:46pixelmait does, just not in the playback engine yet (wavplay plugin)
01:48:55jhMikeSI'm not sure but amiconn wanted there not to be a hole in the array there so WAV and AIFF were put together
01:49:33linuxstbpixelma: Yes, that's what I meant.
01:49:49linuxstbBut there wouldn't be a hole in hwcodec - the others would be #ifdef'd out.
01:50:48pixelmabut hopefully it'll be there one day - not being able to create playlists or even have volume control isn't that nice
01:51:25jhMikeSlinuxstb: Well, I'll have to look at the array before the BRP...but iirc there would have

02:11:47IVampyr3Iwell in any case im downloading it now
02:12:07IVampyr3Iin any case rockbox is amazing =)
02:13:15jhMikeSNico_P: I thought my idea was a pretty clean extension :) basically a non-change...but I thought of something else too that could work
02:13:37Nico_Pwhat is it ?
02:14:20*Nico_P is waiting for windows to update in the VM and it's taking forever... :(
02:14:45jhMikeSThe WPS has it's own array that maps to the codec array...the WPS array never changes order but the codec order can change freely
02:16:08 Join Thundercloud_ [0] (n=thunderc@82.152.207.159)
02:16:32linuxstbWhat would that gain us?
02:18:06jhMikeSOrder independence but won't address that other problem where a codec gets added for both HW and SW and a hole in the array is not wanted but the hold will only be pointers anyway and not full data structures
02:19:15Soapkkurbjun: The wiki gods /have/ installed the tableplugin.
02:19:18Soapyou can do it.
02:20:07Soap&TABLE{ tableborder="1" columnwidths="25%,25%,25%,25%" }%
02:20:48Soapbefore your table will make (in this example) a border of 1 pixel, and force a 4 column table to equal-width columns of 25% of screen width.
02:21:01Soapyou can also use absolute pixel values instead of percents.
02:21:17Soaps/&TABLE/%TABLE/
02:21:31linuxstbpercentages are nicer...
02:21:39Soapmore...polite
02:21:50saratogafinally found that wma decoder bug
02:21:57saratogathe last one in my files I hope
02:22:07linuxstbI thought you found it a while ago... Have you fixed it now?
02:22:08Soapsweet
02:22:21saratogaone of the butterfly ops overflows donig a regular addition
02:22:32saratoganot even a fixed multiply
02:22:57linuxstbBut not in the floating point version?
02:23:23saratogait barely overflows, highest I saw was 33000 or so
02:23:33saratogawhich is fine for 32 bit float
02:23:36Soapkkurbjun: last thing... http://twiki.org/cgi-bin/view/Plugins/TablePlugin
02:23:52kkurbjunsoap, great, thanks for that, I'll try it out
02:24:05linuxstbsaratoga: So does that mean the fixed-point code is generating correct output now?
02:24:22saratogai think it will once I decide how to fix this
02:24:52saratogayou think its a good solution to do the fft (onyl thing that needs a butterfly) in a different fixed format then the rest of the codec?
02:25:01saratoga17.15 wouldn't overflow
02:25:28saratogaor just change the whole codec to 17.15
02:25:39saratogaand accept that we'll have 1 less bit of precision
02:26:21linuxstbI can't help you with that.
02:26:24saratogahell, we should just require that people use replaygain with wma
02:26:32saratogathat would solve this overflow problem
02:26:45saratogawell, assuming you ran it before you encoded i guess
02:26:48linuxstbSlightly related though, have you see mplayer's selection of test/problem files? http://samples.mplayerhq.hu/A-codecs/
02:26:48saratoga:)
02:26:58saratogano, will have a look though
02:27:20saratogai suppose my 1 128k file that only exercises about 2/3 of the codec's code paths isnt' the best way to determine how well it works

03:00:51JdGordonhey
03:00:58JdGordonare you watching the sd patch task?
03:01:32jhMikeSTechnically but haven't really been reading anything
03:02:10JdGordonif yo get a chance, could you check the latest patch please? your recording commit broke ata-e200.c and I'm not sre if the snc I did is correct
03:02:11*jhMikeS doesn't have an SD card to check anything out
03:02:30jhMikeShow could it have broken it if I'm using my player?
03:02:34JdGordonfs 7134 to save you searching :)
03:02:50jhMikeSIs there a problem yielding in the driver?
03:03:03JdGordonno, i mean your commit broek the patch on that file
03:03:34Yannniwould anyone here happen to have the build from like a year ago when they fixed the battery problem on the h300
03:04:03Yannnicause i just updated a couple weeks ago from that build and now my battery life is like half as good
03:04:39jhMikeSonly thing that changed was the use of spinlock_lock/unlock and 1 priority_yield so just keep those
03:04:56XavierGrYanni: that can't be right
03:05:15JdGordonjhMikeS: ok, thats what I figured, so shhuold be ok
03:05:18XavierGrYanni: the bettery issue fixed long ago has nothing to do with recent updates
03:05:19jhMikeSoh and spinklock_init instead of mutex_init
03:05:34XavierGrYanni: are you sure that your battery isn't flacky after all these years?
03:05:45Yannniwell it drains completely every day now when i used to only drain to 50%
03:06:07XavierGrhmm have you checked if the disk spin options is set to off?

04:04:56jhMikeSif that's the line it checks then yes
04:06:17jhMikeSyou have to set GPIOA_INT_LEVEL bit 7 level at firmware init and watch for the flip and then set the level to the opposite of the line status at each interrupt
04:06:52jhMikeSGPIOA_INT_EN |= 0x80 is also need to unmask the line
04:07:40JdGordonwhere?

The e200 writes 16-bit L-R pairs directly in to the FIFO but the iPods are still shifting the 16-bit data to 32-bits but since it's now known what to do, I think iPods (at least 502x based) should use that too. It's half as many FIQs afterall for the same number of samples.

08:01:45*JdGordon is a software person...
08:01:53JdGordonno idea what your talking about :)

08:03:03scorcheJdGordon: that should be the min
08:03:04jhMikeSok...thought it could possibly help batt life though and I'd do it if I could test it there
08:03:11amiconnJdGordon: No, all the bitmap archoses have the same lcd
08:03:12scorchealthough, i dont know about the remotes
08:03:16JdGordonok, cool
08:05:58amiconnscorche: Which remotes
08:06:21JdGordonthe iriver lcd remote has 5 I think with default font
08:06:29scorcheamiconn: i was saying that i dont know much about the remotes, so there might be one out there with less lines
08:06:58*amiconn wonders why JdGordon is guessing instead of calculating
08:07:07amiconnAll the relevant data is known

08:15:13jhMikeSJdGordon: speaking of screen space, the keyboard and color picker were never updated to account for icon size
08:15:39JdGordonamiconn: yeah you right, I thought the rockbox info screen still used the default font... og hell
08:15:51JdGordonand jhMikeS, yeah, need t fix that
08:16:01amiconnHmm, speaking about that - I think there are more places with an info display, which could use the list widget for show the info

08:17:03amiconnImho the list widget should have a read-only mode where you can scroll like normal but the cursor (bar or pointer) should be invisible

08:19:00JdGordonthey alrerady use the list if it was easy to convert them
08:21:44JdGordonamiconn: the hwinfo and database (and similar) screens? they could be converted, but its a bit of a PITA to do, and not worth the effort imo

08:23:58JdGordonyeah, but how to we efficiently put that text into a list? a switch for each selection case?
08:24:11JdGordonin the get_text callback I mean....
08:24:13JdGordonnot really nice
08:24:59amiconnThere is a switch for each case atm
08:26:21amiconnOkay, this might not save much space then, but it should still be better readable than the current mess
08:26:49JdGordonoh, wow, that code sucks :D
08:26:54amiconnOn a related note, the cluster size should be removed from disk info since it doesn't belong there
08:26:59LinusNis it important that the debug code is readable?
08:27:12JdGordonmornig LinusN, care t kick the build server?
08:28:27amiconnUsing the list would also help to remove a couple if ifdefs and duplicated code in there (charcell / bitmap)

09:43:26*GodEater goes off to do that now
09:47:45GodEaterhaving read it: basically we can use git to match our current model, but it'll take some work up front to set up the access control the way we want it
09:48:05scorcheyeah, but i cant imagine much
09:48:19B4gderwe don't have any fine-grained access control today anyway
09:48:33GodEateryou either have it or you don't ;)
09:48:34scorcheindeed...would be quite easy
09:49:14scorcheif we do it that way, i cant see much disadvantages with switching over to git
09:49:36scorches/much/many
09:50:02GodEaterand we get a lot of advantages to go with it
09:50:10GodEaterI particularly like git-bisect
09:50:19scorchei havent gone into that yet
09:50:34scorchewhat advantages does that have over vanilla git?
09:50:47GodEaterit's part of vanilla git
09:51:06GodEaterit's a tool to let you track down obscure bugs
09:51:27GodEaterscenario : user reports a bug with symptoms "a"
09:52:02GodEateron checking back through your revisions, you find that it was present in a build from several hundred revisions ago
09:52:11GodEaterbut you're not sure which commit caused it
09:52:32*scorche hands GodEater a book on paragraphs =)
09:52:37GodEatergit-bisect basically allows you to track down the offending commit without having to look at each one of those hundreds of revisions
09:52:55GodEaterhehe - sorry - I tend to write a line at a time so you don't think I've fallen asleep :)
09:53:26scorchewell, you typically never have to do each revision...8 hops is typically enough
09:54:28 Join XavierGr [0] (n=xavier@ppp222-144.adsl.forthnet.gr)
09:54:29GodEaterindeed, git-bisect just makes it an easy process - you just identify a build which definitely didn't have the bug, and the most recent one which definitely did
09:54:54GodEaterand it checks out a revision somewhere in the middle, and asks you, (after you've built it) - did this contain the bug?
09:55:02scorcheah...so it keeps tracks of your hops pretty much?
09:55:18GodEaterand depending on your answer, it works out which direction it needs to move through the revisions to narrow it down further
09:55:42GodEaterrepeat until bug is located
09:55:54*scorche just usually does it in his head, but that can be useful =P
09:56:05GodEateryeah, especially if you get interuppted

11:16:10pondlifepixelma: A while back, were you trying to get the HTML manual building under Cygwin?
11:17:08pixelmayes, but I gave up... :\
11:17:12pondlifeMe too.
11:17:18pondlifeJust wondered...
11:19:14JdGordonB4gder: in overview you can see the most voted for tasks
11:19:27JdGordonand I tihk if the voting was restircted to devs, and was used it would be usefull
11:19:31B4gderaha
11:20:39B4gderthe votes are still a bit unclear to me
11:21:28B4gderin that overview it shows the votes are more for the general concept than for the specific patch/bugs that exist
11:21:46B4gderand I don't see a need for that kind of voting
11:22:09pondlifeWe don't really have time to work on things that other people want...
11:22:22JdGordonwell, I see it that is a request or patch has a fw votes then it means its posibly a good candidate to commit/work on?
11:22:36JdGordonpondlife: which is why i say devs only
11:22:58B4gderI don't think votes will cause any surprises
11:23:10B4gderwe already pretty much know what "they" want
11:23:46B4gderbut of course adding them for devs only probably won't hurt much either
11:23:48pondlifeYes, my point exactly... the demand is not the limiting factor.
11:26:35pondlifeIs there anyone here who could build a manual for me?

11:44:25pondlifeThat's the only one you need. Not the others.
11:46:26amiconnJdGordon: That's what I mean with changed scrolling behaviour. It should always scroll when moving up/down, not only when the (invisible) cursor hits the bounbds
11:47:35JdGordonthat will complicate the list a bit.. but it could be done
11:47:51XavierGrpondlife: for which target do you want me to build the manual?

11:53:45XavierGryup, even without your patch I still get the same error
11:53:55linuxstbamiconn: I think it's unlikely that I'll continue with the Elio port (I was hoping some other Elio owners would show an interest). But the code does serve a useful purpose in SVN - the bootloader is a generic PP5020 build which should run on any hard-disk based PP5020 device - so it's useful if anyone wants to experiment with other PP5020 devices. But I could remove it from SVN if you think it's in the way.
11:53:56pondlifeMe too, and I get a PDF too.
11:54:33linuxstbamiconn: But I'm planning on seriously attempting the av300 port as soon as I'm done with Monkey's.

12:29:34pixelmapondlife: so "use .talk clips" is now an extra option? At least this is how I understand it from reading the description, haven't tried the actual patch
12:30:21pondlifeYes. The main idea is to allow the user who might not have a full set of .talk clips (or who uses the database too) to configure the fallback to be spelt or numbered.
12:30:48pondlifePreviously it was hard-coded to fall back to numbered files, which was a bit uselsss in a big database query.
12:31:55pondlifeI did consider just using .talk clips if they were present, but that would result in disk spin-ups where dircache is not in use. (And maybe when it is too!)
12:32:05pondlifeSo thought config was safest.
12:34:10pondlifepixelma: I've updated http://www.rockbox.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/VoiceHowto - that's possibly clearer than the manual...
12:34:59pixelmahmm... trying to imagine what I would think when finding the option in the menu (especially that it takes priority over the other settings which are on the "same level" when looking at the menu)

12:36:02pixelmapondlife: or am I missing something?
12:36:09pondlifeI don't understand.
12:36:22pondlifeWhat would you want to achieve?
12:37:01pondlifeThe .talk clip takes priority if it exists and the option is enabled.
12:37:15pondlifeOtherwise it uses the spell/number option (if configured).
12:37:19pixelmait's about the menu structure - explaining it is hard... seems I failed
12:38:00pondlifeIndeed. I have had trouble explaining it too :(
12:38:04pixelma(or maybe it's only about the _imagined_ menu structure from reading the manual)
12:38:26pondlifeStructure? There are now 5 options, all side-by-side.
12:38:45pondlifeThe menu doesn't have any "priority"..

13:04:53pondlifeLet's see if we get many confused users...?
13:04:56JdGordontoo hard to support
13:05:03JdGordonor just scrap the user support :D
13:05:17pondlifeEspecially the "scrolling" page ;p
13:05:18pixelmaeh... and not "menus" but filenames/directories
13:05:44pondlifeMenus means menus, it's nothing to do with the browser options.
13:05:52pixelmapondlife: well blind users could end up with no voice and wondering why...
13:06:12pondlifeBy default, voice menus is enabled
13:06:47pondlifeSo putting the .voice file in place should allow navigation to enable the browser options.
13:06:50pondlifeSame as before.
13:06:51pixelmapondlife: yeah, stupid typo... I know that it only has an influence on voiced filenames
13:07:20pixelma(.talk clips or not) - and directories of course - sigh
13:08:13pondlifeThe main confusion will be that users of .talk clips will now need to enable the option as a one-off. I'll post on the users ML....
13:11:02pixelmaand the other confusion could be that they get no voice feedback while browsing, no?
13:12:21pondlifeThat will be the case after upgrading.
13:12:27pondlifeThey will need to reconfigure.

13:14:02pondlifeI've changed the config settings.

13:16:37JdGordonno, thats a bit nasty imo...
13:17:09pondlifeI agree. I'll post on the ML and people will have to reconfig. Voice menus will still be enabled, so it's should be possible.
13:17:26amiconnWhy not just fall back to the default?
13:17:27JdGordonwell, I guess we could add something like this, and limit it to 2 or 3 settings, but tha will kill load times

13:18:17pondlifeI'll put a nice note on the user ML - that's where msny visually impaired users hang out.
13:18:28pondlifeI've updated the wiki and manual too.
13:20:33amiconnpondlife: .talk clips for files doesn't require spinups for each file. The file browser caches whether a file has an associated .talk clip as a special attribute
13:20:46pondlifeAh, so only for directories?
13:20:52pondlifeI could remove the file option?
13:21:03pondlifeLess options = good...
13:21:12nlsindeed
13:21:21amiconnI think the option should stay
13:21:34pondlifeIt's nice to have symmetry.
13:21:54pondlifeAny chance we could cache that info for directories too and scrap both options?

13:29:25XavierGrwell I have to say that firefox now (without reboot) dropped to 50MB of memory usage after leaving it alone for some time (about an hour I think)
13:29:50 Quit webguest75 ("CGI:IRC (Ping timeout)")
13:30:02pixelmapondlife: what I also wanted to tell you but was carried away with the general discussion... one tiny tiny thing about the description in the manual... I don't like the sentence starting with ".talk clips"
13:30:26JdGordonXavierGr: you had lots of tabs open?
13:31:30XavierGrno, not at all
13:31:49JdGordonok then...
13:31:51XavierGrJdGordon: 3 tabs open at the time which It hit 400MB and 3 tabs open now
13:32:10XavierGrthe difference was that I was browsing a webpage with a massive ammount of images
13:32:40XavierGrso I could see from the task manager that memory usage was increasing as firefox was struggling to show all these images
13:33:19pixelmaXavierGr: the 400MB seem to be fixed - I got 2 instances open currently, both with a lot of tabs)
13:34:24pondlifepixelma: Feel free to reword it... I couldn't find a clearer way to put it... I agree with you though!
13:34:39*amiconn has 25 tabs open, and firefox needs just a little more than 80MB ram
13:35:04XavierGrpixelma: what do you mean seem to be fixed? I am sure I have the latest firefox version, though yes I agree that my case might not be a memory leak
13:35:20pixelmapondlife: just put a "The" at the beginning? I just don't like it starting with a dot
13:36:10peturyou can configure the caching alot through about:config
13:36:27peturthere was an article on /. recently I think
13:36:46JdGordonamiconn: ah, your right, forcing the list to always move if selection is hidden works fine
13:37:49pixelmaXavierGr: no I meant that it takes the same amount of memory here even though I have more tabs open - but that doesn't seem to be right provided what amiconn said...
13:38:23XavierGryay after 80 mb of packages I managed to build an html manual (though still it nags about a mutlirow file?)
13:38:50XavierGrfor the record: in order to manage to build html manual you may need texlive and/or tex4ht
13:39:15pondlifepixelma: Which sentence starts with .talk ? I can't see it...
13:40:08pondlifeAh, I see it.
13:40:17pixelma2nd sentence under "Use directory .talk clips" - it... ok

15:27:06B4gderI guess we can, but we want to exclude some stuff and get a proper name etc
15:27:30B4gderthe script is meant to work for everyone even with builds etc present
15:29:04nlsB4gder: aha, ok, well, it's just a minor annoyance, with it being forgotten, and breaking the tarballs (which almost no-one uses anyway so it often goes undetected for a long time)
15:29:14B4gderyeah
15:29:16*nls can not type coherently
15:30:42LloreanOut of curiosity, with all the problems the tarball seems to crop up here and there, and the fact that a linux-like environment is needed to compile (meaning usually ready access to SVN), why do we have the tarball? Is there a specific reason, or is it a general "keep everyone's options open" kinda thing?
15:31:03linuxstbI think some people have firewall problems with svn
15:31:20B4gderyeah, some people can't get it from svn
15:31:36LloreanAh, okay
15:31:42B4gderthat's really the only reason I think is valid

15:41:00haemmyare there any for win too?
15:41:07B4gderfor cygwin, yes
15:41:13linuxstbhaemmy: You also need more than just gcc to build Rockbox - it requires a unix-like shell environment (bash, Perl, Make etc)

16:00:29*pondlife uses big fonts, so is probably overused to horizontal scrolling

16:30:56B4gderhere's some very cool info:
16:31:06B4gderUntil IEEE Std 1003.1 2004 Edition, the spec said that POSIX compliant implementations of the shell "need not" support options.
16:31:16B4gderIt appears that the ash developers decided to *not* support options to echo, while the bash developers decided to *allow* options to echo, for whatever reason.
16:31:30B4gderThe standard was changed in 2004 to specify that echo "shall not" accept options, leaving bash in a state not only of non-compliance, but also with a long list of shell scripts that depended on the echo command being able to accept options.

16:32:17B4gder"It is not possible to use echo portably across all POSIX systems unless both -n (as the first argument) and escape sequences are omitted."
16:32:30B4gderthat's from the acutal standard text
16:32:41Zagorvery weird decision indeed
16:32:43B4gderthe last quote I mean
16:32:48B4gderindeed
16:32:58Nico_Pyeah, strange
16:33:07Nico_Pso dash is actually right
16:33:15Zagorso all shell scripts written in the last, what, 15 years? should be rewritten. yeah, great idea.
16:33:19Nico_Psomebody want to fix the makefile ?
16:33:32*Nico_P got to go
16:33:40linuxstbWhat about using printf instead?
16:34:20B4gderhttps://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/dash/+bug/61463
16:34:31B4gdercontains the heated debate
16:34:54B4gderprintf could work
16:35:09linuxstbI've just tested, and the problem striing - "\newline" can be displayed with printf "\\\newline" in both dash and bash.
16:35:42linuxstb(I mean \newcommand)
16:35:44Zagoryeah printf seems to work in most shells.
16:35:54ZagorI didn't even know it existed as a shell command :-)
16:35:59B4gderit's not part of the shell is it?
16:36:10B4gderit's a separate command
16:36:12Zagorah, that's why
16:36:17Zagoreven better
16:36:28pondlifeBlimey, even Cygwin supports it...
16:37:10Zagorit is built-in in bash though
16:37:19Zagor(at least according to the man page)
16:37:24B4gderaha
16:37:58linuxstbAccording to the dash manpage, it's optional to build-in printf

17:01:36jac0bis there a plan to implement the SD-card function into the sansa build?

17:01:50linuxstbGodEater: :) I should reply in the forum - try and show it's not just you...
17:01:59XavierGr(I dont know if it is included in the new image)
17:02:05LloreanXavierGr: I believe it's tetex-base, tetex-extra, latex-ucs and tex4ht

17:02:12XavierGrLlorean: package = wiki page (sorry)

17:02:45Lloreanlinuxstb: As far as I can tell. Works perfectly, cuts the pdf manual build time significantly (using dash rather than bash does, at least).
17:03:01Nico_P"/bin/sh: Syntax error: "(" unexpected"
17:03:04LloreanThere's still a few error: 2s at the end of the build, but if I recall that's somewhat normal anyway. The manual itself seems fine.
17:03:20Nico_Pthat's what I get when I try to build the manual with the patch
17:03:35pixelmayes, tex4ht is what's needed fot the html manual and I'm unable to install it manually on cygwin (no prebuilt package available) :\
17:03:37LloreanNico_P: But do you have a manual pdf in the /manual folder?
17:03:43Nico_Poh yes I do have it
17:03:52Nico_Prockbox-build.pdf
17:03:56XavierGrno errors for me with texlive and tex4ht installed (except that I have to press enter once in a while because it nags about a mutlirow file missing)
17:04:12himmelstrutz22what's the difference between iAudio M5 and iAudio M5L? just size?
17:04:19himmelstrutz22(and prize?)
17:04:23LloreanWell, I *thought* the errors were normal. It's just as likely I'm wrong.
17:04:34Lloreanhimmelstrutz22: M5L has a much larger battery
17:05:05XavierGrI don't know for sure I will try to search more for it when I come back from work
17:05:17pixelmahimmelstrutz22: the L is for "larger battery" but therefore can only fit a single platter drive - 20GB
17:05:43GodEaterthe H1x0 is missing off that page
17:05:53GodEaterI know they're hard to find, but we should include it...

17:20:22markunbloodskin: do you know how to program or write documentation?
17:20:39bloodskinim leaning visual basic ATM
17:20:59bloodskini could build a rockbox mirc script
17:21:22bloodskinlike, have it themed like roxkbox, and have an auto updater
17:21:23*GodEater suspects it'll be a while before rockbox sports a VB Runtime Engine
17:21:24desowin?
17:21:44desowinbloodskin: I have no idea how you would do this
17:21:45bloodskinand such
17:22:00bloodskineasy. themes are easy
17:22:21bloodskinthe updater would just check the DB for the latest build and log the current build you have
17:22:23*GodEater wonders if he can write a hald rule to autoupdate his DAPs when they get plugged in
17:22:25Slasherii hope there will be never anything like basic in rockbox
17:22:53markunbloodskin: another thing you can do is just use rockbox and report problems or come up with suggestions on how to improve it
17:23:08bloodskinall ive built in vb so far is a WMP controller that launches a we radio station
17:23:20bloodskinand has links to the site and a mirc launcher
17:23:35desowinwell, rockbox is coded in c
17:23:41bloodskini see
17:23:51GodEaterand assembler
17:23:58desowinand it's rather impossible to run VB code on music players
17:24:04markundesowin: I'm sure I'm not the only one who stated with basic
17:24:24markunlearned programming I mean
17:25:06desowinbasic was bundled in 8bit computers
17:25:09bloodskinhave you guys seen the new patent by apple
17:25:21pondlifeHere's a barmy idea... Supposing Rockbox could have a compressor built in... would it be possible to have a realtime expander? If so, would it be able to undo the overcompression of badly mastered music?
17:25:29bloodskinthe one where the scroll wheel is on the screen and the back is a touch screen thing
17:26:05desowinsuch patents are crazy
17:26:37bloodskinit would be cool if they brought it to life
17:26:42*GodEater started with ZX81 basic
17:26:58*bloodskin started with mirc scripting. WHUT
17:27:16*amiconn started the same way as GodEater
17:27:24*pondlife too
17:27:40*markun with gwbasic on a 286
17:27:40pondlifeAh, actually I had access to a Commodore PET about '79...
17:27:53*linuxstb skipped the zx81 and started with vic-20 basic
17:28:00pondlifeBut it was ZX81 that I really coded on.
17:28:00*GodEater saw a PET once. Never got to use it though.
17:28:27*GodEater went from ZX81 to an Acorn BBC Model B
17:28:41*markun feels young :)
17:28:43*linuxstb couldn't afford a BBC Model B, he only had an Electron
17:29:04amiconnzx81 basic -> zx spectrum (and KC85) basic (and later asm as well)

18:21:22pixelmahmm... there is a bugreport about not being able to restart chessbox on X5 with a button press (it's right, the chosen button combos doesn't work) - but now one can restart through the new menu which has the restart option. I asked the reported if that'll do for him or whether he still wants to be able to restart with a button press but got no response. Does anyone have an opinion about it?
18:22:15pixelma*reporter too
18:23:00peturI'd close it as fixed with the note on how to restart...

20:26:16x1jmpI don't own an Ipod but you might find an answer there http://www.google.de/search?q=ipod+reset+button
20:27:38zanexx297Thanks man but the normal reset button doesnt work if you load rockbox,I know this because ive already tried
20:28:15LloreanMenu+Select works pretty much no matter what.
20:30:03zanexx297Llorean normally you would be right but at the moment its not working, looks like im gonna have to wait till it runs flat! :(
20:30:28Lloreanzanexx297: Have you tried the official method of doing it?
20:30:37LloreanTurning hold on, then off, then holding them down for ~15 seconds?
20:32:42zanexx297nope, doesnt work.Not even plugging it into pc changes its state
20:33:21LloreanPlugging into a PC can't change its state if it's frozen.
20:33:30zanexx297:-/
20:33:32LloreanBut Rockbox can't prevent the reset combination from working, the real one.

20:34:13zanexx297i just dropped it and it works again(i dropped it :( it works :) )

20:39:40LloreanMost people don't even know that you *have* to do the hold on/off thing for it to work properly, because most times just holding Menu+Select will do t.

20:59:19*mpeccorini needs to remember to take other targets into account all the time
20:59:52Nico_Ppixelma: the malloc code probably works on all targets
21:00
21:00:06Nico_Pmpeccorini: are you sure you need a malloc though ?
21:00:19mpeccoriniwell
21:00:29mpeccoriniyes, I think I do
21:00:37mpeccoriniI use it for two purposes
21:01:09mpeccorini1. Load the list of games from a file. A single file can have between 1 and a couple thousand games
21:01:39mpeccorini2. Keep the history of a match. A match can have between 8 or 10 and almost 100 moves
21:02:27 Part Llorean
21:02:48mpeccorinithe list of games is used when running as a viewer so it's not needed if you're playing against the chess engine
21:03:18mpeccorinithe chess engine on it's side, has a table of moves where it analyzes what move it should do
21:03:40pixelmajust so you can imagine it a bit better... chessbox (in its current state) needs a bit more memory, so that it only works on the Archos targets when music is stopped...
21:03:56mpeccoriniif I make the list of games an array I would be limiting the memory it can use to analyze moves and it could play poorly
21:04:22Nico_Pok I see
21:04:38mpeccorinipixelma: to be honest, I think I could fix that
21:05:06mpeccorinithe guy who wrote the plugin made the table I mentioned a fixed array because there was no malloc

22:50:16pixelmaUffish: most of the times it's unclosed conditionals or | that are used as characters which have to be escaped now - also album art tags make it fail on non album art builds
22:50:26zylcheGuys, .aac files should be able to play in rockbox, right?
22:50:48peturzylche: yes
22:51:00UffishLlorean/pixelma: thanks. My build has album art since other album art WPSs work, but I'll check the conditionals and the pipes.
22:51:03zylcheI've been trying some, but they don't seem to work
22:51:14UffishSo the loading of the default WPS is by design now?
22:51:20Lloreanzylche: How were they created?
22:51:37LloreanUffish: If the WPS is invalid, it falls back to the default rather than displaying a possibly broken WPS, yes.
22:51:38zylcheWouldn't know, I'll try and get the codec info
22:52:01UffishLlorean: thanks. now if only there was a WPS syntax highlighter... :)

22:57:56jgarveyI'm running an Archos Fm Recorder, that frequent (1-3 times per day), locks up. It's running the June 06, 2007 build. The error message that is reported is that it can't access the playlist. I can hear disk retrys. Going into the menus and trying to look at the files will also fail after the error. Powering down, and then up again, and it all works fine. It seems to happen independently of the battery level. Any ideas what's happenin

23:00
23:01:01jgarveyamiconn: I loaded rockbox immediately after getting it. I've replaced the battery (and wouldn't the battery monitor indicate something), and it's been this way since I got it.
23:01:07Nico_PUffish: ther$
23:01:11Nico_Poops
23:01:20Nico_PUffish, Llorean: there is a tool to check the WPS
23:01:22amiconnNo, the battery monitor wouldn't show it
23:01:30amiconnThe 2 cells are connected in parallel

23:02:11Nico_Pzylche: there are several programs that can create an MP4 from your AAC file : MP4Box and mpeg4ip are the first that come to my mind
23:02:14amiconn(1) runtime is reduced to about 50% of the usual value - but only if the contact problem is permanent
23:02:27DerPapstdamn
23:02:35*DerPapst has missed all the fun :-D
23:02:40Nico_PUffish: you can use the sim as pixelma said, or you can build the checkwps program that's in the tools dir of the source
23:03:18jgarveyamiconn: I've been running it about 10 hours so far today, and the battery monitor is at 45 right now.
23:03:28amiconn(2) Since one cell has to power the whole thing, voltage might be unstable during high power requirements (i.e. disk spinup), which might cause effects like the one you observed
23:03:36UffishNico_P: thanks, but I'm trying to solve this without getting the source (plain lazy). The sim won't work since this is an album art build. I'm also on linux if that matters.
23:03:46UffishI'll just check it by hand I guess.
23:03:51amiconnHmm
23:04:00Nico_PUffish: you can send it to me if you want

23:04:22amiconn10 hours doesn't sound like one cell is permanently disconnected. Note that I don't have an fmr myself so I can't tell for sure
23:04:34amiconnWhat's the hdd type?
23:04:35Nico_PUffish: also what you can do is comment out the AA tags and try your WPS in the sim
23:04:43Uffishoh, good idea.
23:05:05Uffishbut then I'd have to comment out any scrolling margins and the like... and it's possible the problem is there.
23:05:10jgarveyamiconn: It's 20GB, but I have no idea about further details.... is there a way to get it from the rockbox menus?
23:05:12amiconn(Info->Debug-View disk info)
23:05:29UffishAnyway, how hard can it be? It's half a screen of code, I've dealt with worse things :)
23:05:37*amiconn somehow expects Hitachi
23:05:43Nico_PUffish: oh yes if there are scrolling margins too then it might be harder to find the problem... you'd need a sim with those patches
23:06:09UffishI doubt I can get one for linux and I don't want to build anything from source. I'll do it manually.
23:06:22Nico_PUffish: look for spaces in conditionals, like "%?it <"
23:06:34Nico_Por unclosed conditionals
23:06:41Uffishyeah, I got that tip before :)
23:07:10Uffishspaces are allowed INSIDE conditionals though, right? Like %it< look! a space! |noSpaceOnThisOne>
23:07:17jgarveyamiconn: my disk is a Hitachi DK23DA-20
23:07:43Nico_PUffish: yes. it's just that the syntax must be respected to the letter
23:07:43amiconnExactly the type I expected
23:08:04amiconnThe Hitachi DK23DA series is a known problematic one
23:08:05Nico_PI know the new parser can be a bit annoying because it's very strict, but it's for the better
23:08:25jgarveyamiconn: problematic how?
23:08:46*jgarvey thinks duh it gliches
23:08:54zylcherockbox /can/ play ogg, right? [triple-checking]
23:08:58Uffishyup
23:09:13amiconnIf something isn't perfect, like voltage fluctuating a bit much, this disk simply stops responding
23:09:24Uffish(woohoo! I'm also answering questions! this is like so web2.0 and shit!)
23:09:33amiconn...unlike others, which just wait until conditions are okay, and then continue
23:10:00jgarveyamiconn: ok, that sounds right.
23:10:12Nico_Pzylche: but I think you should try muxing your aac in an mp4... no transcoding is always a much better option
23:10:25amiconnRockbox retries the request in this case, but sometimes the disk simply doesn't want to talk to rockbox again at all
23:10:52Uffish(some disks are such assholes)
23:10:58saratogaI'm just wondernig where the heck someone gets raw aac streams from
23:11:35UffishI'm off. Thankyou to everybody who helped me, and goodbye.
23:11:36jgarveyamiconn: so the solution would be a new disk... two questions: Recomended replacement disk? and How do I format the new disk (vfat?) to put for the new system?
23:11:44amiconnjgarvey: If everything else is okay (like batteries + battery contacts), your only option to make your fmr behave would be to change the hdd
23:11:47 Part Uffish
23:12:21amiconnYou need a standard 2.5" notebook hdd (standard 44-pin parallel ata, not sata)
23:13:30 Quit davina_ (Remote closed the connection)
23:14:08amiconnYou can put up to 120GB in with standard rockbox. For larger ones you either can't use everything above 128GB (or 136GB as the hdd manufacturers calculate), or need to build rockbox yourself and then use the rest of the disk as a second partition with some trickery
23:14:43jgarveyamiconn: 40 GB would probably hold all the music I own.
23:14:45chrisjs169i know there's a patch for album art and all, but is there one for 'integrated' album art (integrated into the music file)
23:15:16amiconnFormatting up to 32GB can be done with any system. Partitions larger than that can't be formatted as fat32 with windows xp, so you need a different method. There are several.

23:25:39LloreanRockbox isn't in the habit of having carnal relations with anything.
23:25:50LloreanBut yes, properly installed, it's reversible.
23:27:05Bagdersaratoga: in assembly you often get a condition flag set when operations "overflow", but in plain C I can't think of a quick and easy way
23:27:50*amiconn finally notices saratoga around
23:28:17amiconnsaratoga: If you change the fixedpoint format to 17.15, what would be the impact on final output?
23:28:24LloreanCouldn't you just compare the result to either of the two values added together, and see if it's less than them? (I don't know anything about this sort of operation, I'm applying untested logic)
23:28:40amiconnThe final output is used as 16 bit samples, isn't it?

23:29:09sticky-notehey you all again
23:29:23saratogaso the output gets converted after the imdct, but it didn't work too well anyway
23:29:34sticky-notei have another q: is the rocketbox rehearsable?
23:29:43saratogafixed some of the problems, but I still got half of the problem samples or so overflowing
23:29:49amiconnThe important thing with fixedpoint conversions is, as I understand it, to use the precision you need, which isn't always the possible maximum
23:30:31amiconnSo if 17.15 (or 18.14) yields sufficient precision, why use more?
23:30:39saratogayes, i think the real problem is that the decoder isn't makeing use of precision correctly, because the fp version never exceeds 2^15 for any sample
23:30:43 Quit rp- ()
