00:16:46webguest21will rockbox run on gigabeat V60E?
00:16:57webguest21is there support for 1seg?
00:17:08webguest21is there any hack with rockbox for 1seg?
00:17:30markunI don't even know what "1seg" is
00:17:36webguest21hi mark
00:17:47webguest211seg is the digital tv used in japan
00:17:57DerPapstmaybe 1 segund?
00:18:10DerPapsts/u/o
00:18:20webguest21more specifically, i am wondering if rockbox has something for this, so possibly we could change the setting from 1seg freq, to dvb-t
00:18:47webguest21s/u/o>> ?
00:19:15webguest21dvb-t is used throughout europe and australia

00:21:23krazykitwebguest21, rockbox runs on the gigabeat f and x, not the v or s.

00:23:50alienbiker99as of last update they are trying to get text to print on the screen
00:23:52webguest21so nobody can tell me of another site to try and find mods for the gigabeat?
00:24:08DerPapstthere aren'T any.
00:24:27webguest21so i cant even install a different OS on it?
00:24:29krazykitmygigabeat.com has some forums, but there are no alternative softwares.

00:25:16webguest21UMS?
00:25:29markunyes, that you can use the gigabeat as a normal USB drive
00:25:37webguest21Ah!
00:25:46markunno special media player mode or toshiba software
00:25:59webguest21ok.
00:26:07webguest21can i ask one more question
00:26:12markunMaybe we can port rockbox to the sony players one day as they have the same problem
00:26:14webguest21then i'll leave you all alone
00:26:16markunsure
00:26:32markunjust ask, and you can hang around as long as you like :)

00:28:01webguest21yes
00:28:10webguest21it was awesome while in japan!
00:28:29webguest21i could watch and record tv anywhere i went
00:28:43markunI believe that all the components are under a metal cover which you have to unsolder if you want to take a look at them
00:29:09webguest21only reason it doesnt work here is because 1seg uses a different freq than here.
00:29:35markunotherwise it's the same standard as dvb-t?

00:33:25markunI think that you don't have many realistic options
00:33:52markunto replace the firmware you will have to do a lot of work
00:34:36markunand you can't just modify it because the firmware is digitally signed

00:35:19markunthere is a way to run custom code on the Gigabeat S which might also work on the Gigabeat V
00:35:30webguest21really?
00:35:57markunbut it has been confirmed that the same trick doesn't work on the Zune which is based on the same hardware
00:35:58webguest21see the 1seg tv has its own button, and its own applet that runs instead of the windows mobile software
00:36:46markunthe applet doesn't run in windows mobile?
00:36:59webguest21probably does actually

00:42:37jhMikeSmarkun: I don't know what to do with it really. I really doubt all devices can handle it. For PP, it will need dual core and for others finer CPU frequency control because of the short length of the output buffer.
00:42:41preglowjhMikeS: do the asm versions of these routines already round, or? i guess that depends on the dsp emac settings
00:43:03preglowwhich right now seem to be set to not round

00:50:39Haywardi cant see all the video :(

01:04:54preglowit's always a power of two, but try telling the compiler that
01:05:14Haywardi will use 4:3
01:08:17jhMikeSthey're just changing it to essentially (x + (2^(n-1))) / (2^n) if I read right

03:39:03LloreanAlright
03:39:09jurriesafetydan: I'm with you on your latest post
03:39:31LloreanI don't know, maybe tagnavi needs a way to add a fallback if the requested tag isn't present.
03:39:40safetydanWhich I'm not sure is the right way. What I was thinking was that the sort tags are only used by the database to sort the entries and aren't actually stored by tagcache.
03:39:43Lloreanjurrie: My preference is for a PC side tool too.
03:40:12Lloreanjurrie: Basically, my point was that rockbox could include a plugin (if someone wrote one) for those people who really want everything handled by the player.

03:42:36safetydanLlorean, tagcache stores all the album titles and so forth presorted (i.e. they're sorted at database build time only). All I think the sort tags should do, is change that sort order.
03:43:03Lloreansafetydan: Ah, so when the database is generated, it's generated in a different order but doesn't actually keep the tags?
03:43:11LloreanWill that affect the ability to update the database?
03:43:37LloreanAlso, I *think* it might be important to keep the tags around for other purposes.

03:44:47safetydanI agree it feels kind of odd to just throw away the sort metadata, but I can't see any reason for keeping it.
03:45:30LloreanI can't at the moment either.
03:45:45LloreanWait.
03:46:00 Quit andrew__2 (Client Quit)
03:46:13LloreanYou can have a CD with the Artist Sort labelled "Various", but the artist displays proper for the individual tracks.

03:46:26LloreanIf you've thrown away the "Artist Sort" tag, it won't show up as a single album.
03:46:54LloreanBut if the tagnavi filters by the artist sort, rather than the artist, you'll see all songs from that album in the album view, even though the artist you selected only has one or two songs on it
03:47:05LloreanWell "apparently" selected.
03:47:27LloreanDoes that make any sense?
03:47:40safetydanSort of.
03:47:48LloreanIt's not a perfect solution, by any means.
03:47:58LloreanBut there really is no "perfect" solution to various artist albums, I think
03:48:19safetydanthe tagcache/database code is something I'm not familiar with so I'm learning as I go
03:48:23LloreanBut I think it is a valid use for the sort data, as a user-hack for it.
03:49:38safetydanActually, the various artist issue I thought was dealt with by the albumartist tag?
03:50:05LloreanHm, that's a use for that too.
03:50:15LloreanI thought that was used for other things.
03:50:24LloreanSince the "artist" tag is technically "Performer"
03:50:30LloreanBut makes sense.
03:50:32LloreanI can be ignored. :)
03:50:51safetydanSo albumartist = "Compilation Maker" and artist ="Track Performer"
03:51:11LloreanAnd I guess Compilation Maker could be "Grammy Nominees 2008" or whatever, yeah.
03:51:21LloreanOr just "Various"
03:51:34safetydanyup
03:52:08safetydanSo yeah, I think the sort metadata should only affect the building and updating of the database, not the actual configuration of it (i.e. the tagnavi file)
03:52:31LloreanWorks for me.

03:59:08safetydanLlorean, well in theory it should lead to no change in the RAM footprint.
04:00
04:00:33LloreanWhich is good. I can imagine the database already getting quite large with some collections.

10:05:07crop markun: :-) You ask hard questions! My general strategy is that I sort by the last name, if it's the name of a person. I also ignore 'the' (e.g. my folder is 'Alan Parson's Project'). Other cases are handled individually.
10:06:21cropIn every name, I (probably) have a piece that the name is assotiated with (just for me). "The Art Blakey Quintet" would probably go under A.
10:07:16markunshould we put all of our examples in the 'ignore the' thread?
10:07:17cropSince it's not a name of a person, and "the" is ignored (for sorting, not in the tags)
10:07:22markunjust to confuse them a little more :)
10:07:36cropOr in the wiki
10:07:37GodEater_I don't think we need to :)
10:08:01GodEater_once the sorting tags go in to svn people can sort on whatever the hell they choose - and we don't have to care
10:08:07LloreanI think everyone, even those in favour of "Ignore The", agree that it's somewhat broken in many circumstances.
10:08:17LloreanTheir argument is just "The convenience outweighs the brokenness"
10:08:31LloreanSo trying to further prove it's broken doesn't do much good. :)
10:08:38markunGodEater_: the 'left to WPS' guys also became very quiet after we added the main menu
10:08:50GodEater_Llorean: I think you meant "convenience, the"
10:08:55*Llorean grins.
10:08:58GodEater_:)
10:09:16GodEater_and of course "brokeness, the"
10:11:02 Part Llorean
10:11:03cropYes, I also think that the sort tags will allow everyone to achieve the goal "ignore the" and a lot more, and in a very elegant manner
10:11:14*markun agrees
10:11:37 Quit boom82 (" HydraIRC -> http://www.hydrairc.com <- Po-ta-to, boil em, mash em, stick em in a stew.")
10:11:43markunand it doesn't meen we shouldn't have better collation too
10:12:00cropmarkun: what software do you use for tagging? I use MediaMonkey but I haven't seen sort tags there.
10:12:35markunI use some scripts together I made which use vorbiscomment and vim :)
10:12:50cropAh, I forget all the time that it's only for the DB so it will be of no meaning for me :-/
10:13:21cropSo I'll stick with my current modus operandi
10:13:40TimI have a dumb question about menus:
10:13:43Timwhy is the "up a level" button the back button, and not the "menu" button?
10:13:46Tim(on the ipod)
10:13:55linuxstbTim: Because it makes sense...
10:14:03linuxstbMENU is used to enter and leave menus
10:14:15markunTim: I think it was like this on all targets before we did the ipod port
10:14:21Timit makes sense on paper,
10:14:21markunis it different in the ipod firmware?
10:14:26Timyes
10:14:34linuxstbTim: It makes sense if you don't use Apple's firmware.
10:14:48Timthe problem is that if I'm in the WPS, and I go into the context menu, then want to get back to the WPS
10:14:59TimI want to hammer the "up a level" button
10:15:00linuxstbThen MENU should do it
10:15:02Timbut if I do that
10:15:13Timthen it'll change song
10:15:17Timif I press it too much
10:15:20markunwow
10:15:43markunipod button layout is weird :)
10:16:16Timhehe, yeah, it sounds weird
10:16:20linuxstbHmm, MENU from the context menu doesn't leave the menu, but takes you to the main menu instead...
10:16:27Timbut I think they've put a lot of thought into it
10:16:31Timyeah, it's
10:16:43markunI don't think it should
10:16:55Tim(uh, that last line should read without the "it's")
10:17:08linuxstbTim: You can also press PLAY to leave the context menu and take you back to the WPS (PLAY takes you to the WPS from most places)
10:17:34TimOn the apple firmware, back + forward are always player commands
10:17:39Timthe center button selects
10:18:03Timand the menu button brings up the menu from WPS or goes up a level if you're already in a menu
10:18:29Timlinuxstb: so it does, thanks :)

10:21:49pondlifeSo many contexts.... ;)
10:21:55GodEater_yep
10:22:14GodEater_esp. the context menus on the main menu items. That one was a complete curveball for me yesterday.
10:22:17Timyeah
10:22:32GodEater_genius idea though whoever thought of it

10:25:30pondlifeTim: I would guess the STOP button (on my H300 at least)...
10:25:44pondlifeBut it probably depends on which device.
10:25:58GodEater_trouble is some of the plugins require a lot more controls than others
10:25:59pondlifeOn H300 - STOP = exit, generally
10:26:04XavierGrwhat? since when menu items have context menu???
10:26:06GodEater_you run out of ways to call exit
10:26:07pondlifeSome require a menu to be used.

10:31:11XavierGrmine has dpkg broken since I did the stupid thing to remove the info folder without having a backup
10:31:15bospaadjeTim: in plugins where 'back' (or through a menu) doesn't work, it's mostly menu+select
10:31:41bospaadjesee the manual for detailed info on all available plugins, including button mappings
10:32:07TimGodEater_: heh. Yeah... I'll have to play around with it a bit more. At the moment it feels like it could be improved for the ipod, but it's possible that I just need to be more used to it.
10:33:10Timbospaadje: thanks, I'll remember that :)
10:33:12bospaadjethe only problem with ipod buttons i have currently is that the hold button doesnt switch off properly (i have to scroll first before any buttons work after switching hold off)
10:33:14GodEater_Tim: I suspect the latter
10:33:18Timhehe
10:33:50GodEater_the ipod suffers from nearly the least number of buttons (I think only Ondios have less)
10:34:29GodEater_it's certainly the only RB target I've used which uses the concept of "press, hold, hold even longer"
10:34:37bospaadjethe current mapping is pretty good, considering the small number of buttons
10:34:53bospaadjeindeed, though the 'hold even longer' one gets annoying sometimes
10:35:04GodEater_markun: have you come up with a decent use for the "speaker" button on the GB remote yet ?

10:35:57GodEater_that'll be a good use when we have that working :)

11:24:59linuxstbmarkun: What scorche said (and it's discussed in the thread) - you have no idea about the source WAV that was encoded to flac.
11:25:12linuxstb(unless you encoded it yourself)
11:25:32GodEater_does anyone know an easy way of switching between a standard library and it's debug version when building with gcc/make ?
11:25:38scorchewell, you can also trust it if a log file is included as well
11:25:56linuxstbscorche: Not really - the CD could come from a lossy source.

11:29:36preglowbias should only be added if shifting is needed at all, if it isn't, then nothing extra happens, if shifting is needed, then this will just further enhance the output we have now, even from lossless codecs

11:47:44LloreanWhat's silly is the people talking about how he should rename it, or how he's "forking" FLAC. I never realized preprocessing your audio before encoding with a separate encoder qualified as modifying the audio. I wonder if I've forked MP3 by transcoding from lossless...
11:48:26LloreanI'll be interested to see what comes of it, at least.
11:49:11JdGordonI have a little problem... the current setting screen code (set_int/sound/bool/option) copies the the setting info from settings_list.c into a smaller struct which IMHO feels a bit mor hacky than it should, So I spent a while cleaning up the code to use the setting_list.c code for items directly, and I tihnk the code looks better, but because of the extra flexibility needed it blew out the bin size by a fair bit...
11:49:29linuxstbLlorean: I think that came from the suggestion of implementing it as an option in the flac encoder.
11:49:41pondlifeJdGordon: A fair bit?
11:49:44JdGordonare we happy with the current code and s scrap the changes...? or are we ok with adding more bin for better flexibility?
11:49:50GodEater_there goes that 20K again
11:49:51GodEater_:)
11:49:58JdGordonpondlife: ~1k i tihnk
11:50:09*pondlife was thinking "is a fair bit >= 20k" too
11:50:13JdGordoni cant do preoper checks here. this comp is stuffed :p
11:50:38pondlifeOf course, many targets didn't gain 20k (yet)
11:51:11JdGordonthis extra code will make things like customizable quickscreens, and inline settings ( in the menus) much easier to add
11:51:21pondlifeJdGordon: I would generally vote for simpler code, but it probably depends on the effect on an Archos buffer size.
11:52:29pondlifeDo you know what resulted in the larger BIN? Removing duplicated data should've made it smaller, I'd think... just pointers.
11:53:14JdGordonthe differene was instead of using one struct which had data, we now use the 4 avilable in settings_list
11:53:53pondlifeBut those 4 were already there? So there's extra new code required to look at all 4 parts?
11:54:03JdGordonyeah
11:54:46JdGordonok, WTF? just did a clea build, then he patched build for h300... -200 delta...
11:54:48JdGordonignore me :p
11:55:00*pondlife ignores JdGordon
11:55:03JdGordonthe e200 build was bigger...
11:55:19*JdGordon has renewed motivation to finish this patch :p
11:55:24pondlifeWhat about Archos?
11:55:26pixelmacustomisable quick screens? The Ondio doesn't have a quick screen at all and I don't really miss it
11:55:50JdGordonmy sh gcc is fubar, and I ran rockboxdev.sh today again and still not correct
11:56:34pondlifeWith Cygwin, I'm stuck on GCC 3.4.4. No good for binsize checking.
11:56:35JdGordonpixelma: it would allow you to put alomost any of the settings on the screen where you want it. (up to 4 settings per screen...) maybe allow different setting for the different quickscreen contexts :)
11:57:53pixelmaon what screen?
11:58:40JdGordonthe quickscreen
11:59:37pixelmaread my first comment again...
12:00
12:00:27pixelmathough on my M5 I can reach the quick screen, I still don't use it much
12:00:41JdGordonI read it... on the targets which do have it, it would be great if the settings wernt so bad
12:02:47pondlifebad?
12:03:10JdGordonhmm... I'm just thining about which 4 setting I use the most (or would actually want on the QS) and cant think of any ;p
12:03:57pondlifeI would rather the quick screen was select .CFG if anything... Not that I have a problem with the menus as they are.
12:04:18pondlifeI most often select "Car.cfg" or "Normal.cfg"
12:04:43pondlifevia the main menu context menu :)
12:04:45peturgreat idea... I have headphones.cfg and lineout.cfg on mine ;)
12:05:05*JdGordon just has config.cfg
12:05:28peturhave a quickscreen that lists a number of config presets
12:05:46JdGordontat could be possible also
12:07:44pondlifeI suspect that most users have no idea how flexible .cfg files are.
12:08:49JdGordonthey are flexible?
12:08:50LloreanSo, replacing the quickscreen with the "Browse .cfg files" screen might give them incentive to learn. ;)
12:09:18LloreanThe entire menuing system could actually be replaced with a clever directory structure of one-line config files.
12:09:27LloreanI'd say that's "pretty flexible"
12:09:38*Llorean has just solved the customizable menu problem!

12:58:26linuxstbWhat do people think about 90 degree LCD rotation? Is it a wanted feature (if implemented as efficiently as possible) ?
12:59:25pondlifeI would think it useful to do at a low-level. Should be more efficient and resolve numerous other Sansa hacks...?
12:59:37pondlifeKey map rotation is probably the trickier bit.
13:00
13:00:09linuxstbRockbox already supports keymap rotation - for the LCD flip
13:00:31pondlifeOK, so that could be extended to 90 degrees too?
13:00:41linuxstbExactly.
13:01:06preglowi don't see any point in any of them, so don't ask me...
13:01:20linuxstbI'm thinking that most of the work for the LCD is already done by the screens API - it uses a set of function pointers for the LCD drawing and lcd_width/lcd_height are variables for each screen.
13:02:09linuxstbSo one option would be a new set of LCD drawing functions that do the drawing rotated, and you just modify the screens API to point to those new functions when rotating the screen.
13:02:43markunlinuxstb: do you want the screen to always be rotated? I think there are people who like the WPS to be rotated on the Gigabeat but not the rest for example
13:02:58linuxstbOr the alternative is to make LCD_WIDTH and LCD_HEIGHT variables in the lcd driver itself, and perform the rotation in lcd_update().
13:03:07linuxstbmarkun: I think it only makes sense to be changable at runtime.
13:04:17linuxstbSo potentially different screens could use different rotations, but I'm not sure if that would make sense. Gigabeat owners need to make more WPSs....
13:04:52linuxstbI remember ipod video/nano owners complaining that all the nice WPSs were for the H300...
13:04:55markunI think the WPS rotation should be separate
13:05:32markunwhat happens to the selected WPS when you want to change the screen rotation because you think that's nicer for browsing through your file list..
13:05:36merbztlinuxstb: http://codecs.multimedia.cx/?p=52

13:20:04JdGordonlinuxstb: screen rotation would be sweet, but it shhuold b done in the lcd driver, not a screen-drawing decision...
13:20:16markunlinuxstb: will you talk to Kostya about the APE decoder in ffmpeg?
13:23:11linuxstbJdGordon: What do you mean by "not a screen drawing decision" ?
13:23:40pondlifeIt should be transparent to the apps?
13:23:45JdGordonI mean, either the whole ui should be rotated, or nothing...
13:23:53linuxstbamiconn: What problems do you see with screen rotation?
13:24:04JdGordonI might have misread though, but you mentioned an exra lcd funcito to draw rotated?
13:24:35dionoeawould that rotation be a compile time option or runtime ?
13:24:37linuxstbJdGordon: Yes, one way is extra lcd functions, but the apps/ code doesn't need to know about them - it continues using the screens API.
13:24:51pondlifedionoea: runtime, I hope
13:25:07linuxstbCompile-time rotation is trivial - there's already a patch for it.
13:25:18dionoeaso all the LCD_HEIGHT / LCD_WIDTH related macros in plugins and stuff would need major changes, no ?
13:25:29JdGordonlinuxstb: that would limit it to only the drawing which actually uses the screen api. in the driver it would work much better
13:25:46linuxstbdionoea: plugins are a separate issue. I'm just thinking about the core for now.
13:26:14linuxstbJdGordon: But all the apps code (including plugins) _should_ be using the screens API...
13:26:27JdGordon_should_ being the important bit there...
13:26:29JdGordonalot doesnt
13:26:48linuxstbI know - implementing rotation would mean finishing the screens API transition, at least for 100% of the core.
13:26:53JdGordonactually... no im getting confused
13:27:21pondlifelinuxstb: Are there older UI APIs we could scrap too?
13:27:55linuxstbI don't think so - the apps/ code needs to stop calling the lcd driver directly, and go via the screens API.
13:28:08linuxstbBut the screens API uses the lcd driver functions, so no code can be removed.
13:28:32preglowany news on gigabeat s, btw?
13:28:54B4gderpreglow: we expect the devconwest guys to have the port done by sunday! ;-P

13:30:08preglowhe does surgery on people as well as gigabeats? :>
13:30:13amiconnlinuxstb: The fact that width and height become variable. Lots of places aren't prepared for that. Also, how would you handle stuff like wps positioning, or backdrops?
13:30:14JdGordonhehe new logo :)
13:30:40linuxstbamiconn: That's my point about the screens API - lcd_width and lcd_height are variables there.
13:30:52amiconnYou cannot handle everything in the screen api
13:31:06scorchepreglow: it was a tomato emergency, actually
13:31:58preglowtomatical emergency
13:33:08amiconnAlso, how would the lcd framebuffer look like? Some plugins (have to) use that directly...
13:33:38JdGordonand other nasty stuff like buffer allocation...
13:34:04linuxstbThe framebuffer would change format depending on screen orientation. Plugins would need to explicitly set an orientation.
13:34:17linuxstbBut the framebuffer is obviously still the same size....
13:35:02linuxstbI agree it's not straightforward though, which is why I'm asking if people think it's worthwhile...
13:35:18linuxstbBut I don't think any of the issues are unsolvable.
13:36:27JdGordonthe framebuffer isnt the only buffer which is allocated by the LCD_WIDTH or HIEGHT
13:36:45JdGordonand some might only use one of them, so the bffer would change size size
13:37:11linuxstbIf they only use one, then you define it as MAX(LCD_WIDTH,LCD_HEIGHT)
13:37:16dionoeamaybe you could bundle lcd rotation code with memory allocation code :D
13:37:39JdGordonlinuxstb: thats no good for static buffers....
13:37:47preglowhow does one make twiki not try to make alink out of a camelcase word?
13:37:47linuxstbBut I'm not aware of many buffers like that.

13:42:46linuxstbJdGordon: How could that help? In my mind, you would keep LCD_WIDTH and LCD_HEIGHT as the real dimensions of the LCD, but their use would be forbidden in calculating display positions etc.
13:43:31JdGordonlinuxstb: for buffer allocation. yeah, they would have to be off limits for screen positioning
13:43:32linuxstb(which it already is via the screens API to a large extent - there isn't much use of LCD_WIDTH/LCD_HEIGHT left in apps)
13:44:04Soap(I keep messing up) three dashes and a plus is top level heading, two plusses is second level heading, three is third level etc. putting two !'s after the plusses prevents the heading from being in an auto-created Table Of Contents. If you are trying to prevent auto-linking to a WikiWord you need a space between the !!s which prevent TOC creation and the ! which prevents WikiWord linking.

13:50:25preglowbah!
13:50:31B4gdernot a bad idea
13:50:33FebsI think it would clear up a lot of confusion among users as to which build to download.
13:51:05FebsWe're seeing a lot of this in the forums: http://forums.rockbox.org/index.php?topic=11064.msg74696
13:51:23JdGordon! when was the 64mb build added?
13:52:46B4gderJdGordon: 3 weeks, 4 days ago
13:53:28JdGordonrigh about when all the build server problems started again... conspiracy anyone?
13:54:11pixelmaBagder: since the introduction of the rockbox-info.txt there is an error message at the end of building a pdf-manual "rockbox/manual/platform/mkinfo.pl: Command not found" - any ideas?
13:54:56pixelmait doesn't make the build fail, it's just a bit annoying...
13:54:57B4gderFebs: try now
13:55:06SoapFebs, how about naming the 32MB one "iPod Video 30/60/80" or "iPod Video All" it's not clear the 64MB version is always ideal for 64MB targets.
13:56:14B4gderpixelma: puzzling... I'll need to work on that
13:56:17FebsB4gder: I like it. Soap: I didn't realize there were any disadvantages to using the 64MB build on the players that support it.
13:56:58SoapFebs: it appears to add very little (if any) to runtime, and those runtime tests were performed under a situation perfect for taking advantage of the larger buffer.
13:57:09linuxstbFebs: If you skip a lot, a lot more unrequired buffering will happen compared to the 32MB build.
13:57:28Soapif people skip tracks they are wasting the disk reads used to fill the large buffer, and _probably_ incurring a greater cost.
13:58:37preglowworkout time
13:59:35pixelmaB4gder: if this observation helps any... when I tried to track it down yesterday I started with a checkout from right before, then updated step by step and the error didn't occur until I started to reconfigure and make clean - so I had to went back and clean up for every revision I tried
14:00
14:00:16Soapbut w/o putting an ammeter in-line I don't know how to calculate the cost/benefit
14:00:53Febslinuxstb, soap: couldn't you then reduce that argument to its extreme and say that for people who skip a lot, Rockbox should only load the currently playing song onto the buffer?
14:01:50Soapwhy not? If you are a user who is constantly dumping buffer contents you should probably use a small buffer.
14:02:13FebsIt seems to me that the build chart should contain only one option for any given platform.
14:02:21B4gderwell, there's a punishment to spin up the disk as well
14:02:39linuxstbFebs: I'm not strongly convinced by my own argument anyway.... I think for the sake of simplicity, we should rename the builds "ipod video 30GB" and "ipod video 60GB/80GB" (assuming we still assume the 30GBs all have 32MB)
14:02:42B4gderskip with a larger buffer will just skip data, not necessarily spin disk
14:03:22linuxstbAlthough maybe the manual could be used to describe the actual differences in the builds.
14:03:28GodEater_Febs: did you see the map I posted last night ?
14:03:32Soapit won't necessaritly spin the disk, but by skipping data in the buffer haven't you effectively wasted the power used to fill that skipped area of the buffer?
14:03:56FebsGodEater: Yes! It looks like we'll be close by.

16:23:55pondlifeI'll be in England, but probably not in London.

16:50:30GodEater_you didn't, but I shall bear it in mind
16:50:34GodEater_normal or extra cold ? :)
16:50:54GodEater_I guess you *won't* be drinking Pimms then
16:51:03linuxstbI always ask for "normal", just because the pub I go to never has any...
16:51:12linuxstb(but the tap is there, claiming it)
16:51:33preglowhaha

16:51:47preglowthe extra cold guinness tastes tap water
16:51:49preglowso don't go for that one
16:52:07preglowi tend to be sceptical to any beer that is "extra cold"
16:52:22GodEater_I liked that "Arc" lager you could get in London a few years ago
16:52:29GodEater_most places don't do it anymore :(
16:52:49preglowbut then again, i'm not your run-of-the-mill person either
16:53:05***Saving seen data "./dancer.seen"
16:53:10GodEater_it was the only lager I've ever seen that needed *infrastructure* to pour
16:53:16preglowhahahah
16:53:57GodEater_the barrels were kept at below freezing temp, and the lines to the pump at the bar were pressurised to stop the beer freezing on route
16:54:08GodEater_and then the pump itself had a little turntable you put the glass on
16:54:21GodEater_which span it whilst freezing cold water was sprayed on the glass to cool it right down
16:54:32linuxstbSounds economical...
16:54:51preglowguess why it's not around anymore
16:54:52preglowhaha
16:54:54GodEater_and as the beer left the nozzle, there were tiny ultra-sonic emitters which made ultra-fine ice crystals appear in the beer it poured
16:55:07linuxstbAnd how much was a pint?
16:55:08GodEater_so the top inch or so of the glass you got was like beer slush puppy
16:55:17GodEater_about £4.50 ;)
16:55:30GodEater_*so* worth it though
16:55:37GodEater_just to watch the whole process was fun
16:55:42linuxstbAnd the secret was that the barrels were filled with Fosters...
16:55:47preglowhahahaha
16:55:55GodEater_while I cannot disprove that theory
16:56:07GodEater_it was *claimed* the beer had to be super strong for it to taste of anything at that temp.

18:13:12tedrocki tried to play a mpeg on my player yesterday. real tears came to my eyes... they were not tears of joy
18:14:36*petur wonders why people insist on trying to look at video's on tiny screens
18:14:50*GodEater_ finds it an odd thing to do as well
18:14:51tedrockbecause i like to watch it at work
18:14:59peturha!
18:15:01tedrocki USED to tihnk it was a dumb idea
18:15:18tedrocki was like "i'll never get one"

18:16:07GodEater_when I watch at work, I use my monitor.
18:16:30tedrocki cannot
18:17:10tedrocki use an emac at work as well they blocked youtube, google video and you cannot mount external devices like ipods
18:17:41*GodEater_ is pretty much a domain admin at work and can do what the hell he likes :)

18:19:23*GodEater_ does work at work. He's good at multi-tasking.
18:19:32tedrockwell i tried masturbation but apperently that's frowned on

18:21:00tedrockdo you know what it's like to watch a movie in 5 minute intervals?!
18:21:10krazykitchoppy and confusing?
18:21:24tedrockvery confusing. i gave up after a bit

18:21:37tedrockOF?

18:22:00tedrockyah id o that
18:22:04tedrockthat's how i watch my podcasts
18:23:02tedrocki'm really enjoying the database and how you can make your own filters for it so rockbox is mostly taken over for my music part of my ipod
18:23:35tedrockone thing. does the database update on the fly. so if i have a list called "unplayed" as soon as i play a song from it and it finishes does it get removed?

18:46:17Galoisold versions of rockbox had no problem with that, but sometime in the last month I noticed too that it dies if you plug it in while it's off
18:46:37Tunsterhi everyone
18:46:39Galoishowever I am not sure if a bug report has been filed or even if it's considered a bug
18:46:53tedrockyah. i just have to reset, unplug and then plug it in while it's on and active
18:47:14tedrockwindows will say the device is unrecognized or something too
18:47:25Tunsteras much as there's not much more info since April about the Nano 2nd Gen port, have there been anymore developments?
18:47:41GaloisI mean, IMO the previous behavior where it resets your config settings if you plug it in with the hold switch on is definitely a bug
18:48:05tedrockwoah. never experinced that
18:48:24Galoisthey claimed that was intentional, because it's a failsafe way to reset your config settings
18:48:41Galoisbut it used to make me accidentally erase the settings all the time, just by plugging it in with the hold switch on
18:48:48The-CompilerHow can I start the original-firmware on a sansa?
18:48:54tedrocki had a really bad install before this one. it would freeze everytime i paused a song. but i used the utility now and it's never had an issue... unless i'm usin ghte XBOX theme
18:48:56Galoishowever, it doesn't do that anymore, it just crashes, so in that sense I consider it an improvement
18:49:14tedrockGalois: yah i would consider it an improvement
18:49:42Galoisyou can still reset your settings on purpose just by turning it on with the hold switch off, and then changing the switch quickly to on before it boots up
18:50:10GaloisI'm happy with that, since it's impossible to do what I just described by accident, whereas it is very possible to plug it in with the hold switch on by accident
18:50:51tedrocki flip the whole switch when starting it up but htat's to got to OF so i guess i do it early enough it's not an issue

19:06:58Haywardi have used both 4:3 ratio and 16:3 ration but nothing
19:07:00Haywardany ideas
19:07:03guyzmoI got a "can't find rockbox.ipod" error on boot
19:07:16guyzmoand my guess is that I have 2 partitions on my ipod
19:07:29guyzmo(I installed ipodlinux before installing rockbox)
19:07:46*dionoea wonders why the mem function wrappers need to be defined with a macro and not just defined in plugin.h (and inlined)
19:07:52guyzmoam I wrong ? any hints why if I'm wrong ?
19:08:33dionoeais the fat partition the 1st or 2nd one ?

19:17:42dionoeaguyzmo: are you sure that you have a rockbox.ipod file on that fat partition ?
19:18:46krazykitHayward, and you've checked the video on your computer to make sure it's 320x240?
19:19:03krazykitor 320x176 for 16:9
19:19:04Haywardi dont think so.. i downloaded it from google videos
19:19:14krazykitno, the one you converted
19:19:41Haywarddono
19:19:55krazykit...can you check?
19:20:06Haywardhow :S
19:20:38dionoeaopen it with a media player on your PC
19:20:49Haywardyeah
19:20:57dionoeadoesn't that sound kind of obvious?
19:21:07Haywardi have opened it with VLC
19:21:10krazykitany decent media player should have info on the dimensions
19:21:25dionoeaHayward: look in the stream and info dialog in VLC
19:21:29dionoeait'll give you the dimensions
19:21:48tedrockfile explorer actually will tell you the dimensions under details view
19:22:01tedrockjust everyday windows exploer
19:22:18n1sdionoea: they have to be a macro to allow people to call the api pointer in the plugin whatever they want (which we allow) it could be simpilfied if we required that everyone stuck to rb...
19:22:40dionoeaah ... ok.

19:23:52Haywardso now what
19:23:53krazykitthat's good. that means it's of the proper dimensions, Hayward. and that's the file that's on your ipod? you're using an ipod video, right?

21:25:10OzgurI am planning to get one soon
21:25:19 Part pixelma
21:25:20OzgurI will install an ebay sniper
21:25:22Ozgur:)
21:25:26Ozgurand buy one
21:25:45Ozgurf40 seems very good for price
21:26:04Ozgurespecially rockbox giving the ability to show video to its good screen
21:26:04 Join linuxstb_ [0] (i=5343d4aa@rockbox/developer/linuxstb)
21:26:07Domonokyf40 is good, but very powerfull..
21:26:25Ozgursome friends here can test it on other targets
21:26:42Ozguri guess I can not limit the power right
21:26:55Domonokyi think not, i dont know..
21:26:59linuxstb_Are you planning on doing low-level (i.e. asm) optimisations?
21:27:03Ozgurmaybe I can try loading extra jobs to the processor :)
21:27:39OzgurI don't have expertise in low-level optimizations
21:27:47Ozguryou mean assembly?
21:27:54markunOzgur: it would make me happy if you bought a F40 :)
21:28:10markunalthough the code will probably not be very optimized that way..
21:28:11linuxstb_Ozgur: Yes.
21:28:22OzgurI think FLite must already have optimisations
21:28:52preglowit's probably very possible to squeeze more out of it, but that's not a first-priority at all anyway
21:28:54OzgurLite means that
21:28:54linuxstb_Ozgur: The F40 is a nice target, but it will spoil you - it's about 3-4 times as fast as most of the other Rockbox targets.
21:28:58Ozgurfor embedded
21:29:18OzgurOK
21:30:02Ozgurif I could have it running before devcon, maybe I could join to test it on other targets
21:30:38 Quit The-Compiler (Remote closed the connection)
21:30:42linuxstb_Isn't devcon tomorrow?
21:30:57n1scould anyone try something on a 32 bit sim? I think I found another "fun" 64 bit only bug...
21:30:57peturhehe
21:31:01Ozgurlet me check
21:31:25Ozgurwow
21:31:27Ozguryes
21:31:30Ozgurtime flies
21:31:35linuxstb_You have a busy night ;)
21:31:43Ozgur:)
21:32:11OzgurI was thinking 2 weeks or something
21:32:23markunOzgur: there are always enough people in here to try out your patches
21:32:36OzgurOK
21:33:22n1sanyway just try changing the settings in the clock plugin such as the "show date" setting, it segfaults here...
21:33:33linuxstb_Is the intention to compile flite into the core?
21:34:07Learn1s: H300 has a clock? (All I know is my H140 does not...)
21:34:18amiconnLear: yes
21:34:18peturLear: yes
21:34:28peturecho echo
21:34:55markunlinuxstb_: what do you think? I'm not sure
21:35:00LearI'll give it a try, once I've built the sim then...
21:35:24n1sLear: thanks :-)
21:36:28linuxstb_markun: I'm not sure either....
21:36:56linuxstb_Do we have any idea what the memory footprint will be (code, const data, working data) ?
21:37:23markunI think several MB for flite
21:37:26markunOzgur: do you know?
21:38:26n1smarkun, linuxstb, Ozgur: maybe it could be loaded in the same way as a voice file is?, I mean stean an appropriate chunk of buffer and it's not like you would have both voicefile and tts loaded at the smae time...
21:38:27linuxstb_I guess we could have a dedicated "tts codec buffer" where the tts codec is loaded. If tts isn't enabled, that buffer will just be consumed by the audio buffer.
21:38:53Ozgurit was 6 MB
21:39:09linuxstb_Ouch...
21:39:31Ozgurtotal program size
21:39:39Ozgurwith voice files
21:39:47Ozgurfor one language
21:40:31OzgurI have seen those games RockBoy
21:40:38OzgurAre they lighter?
21:40:44Ozgurjust curious
21:41:13OzgurAnyhow, I guess most of FLite is voice files
21:41:30Ozgurwrt memory
21:42:25markunlinuxstb_: vs a few 100 kb for espeak I think :)

21:43:34Ozgurthough I don't understand, it should be 1000 recordings of lenght 1 sec
21:43:38linuxstb_Ozgur: Rockboy is large, yes - it takes over the entire DAP (stopping music playback)
21:44:01Ozgurwith compression it shouldn't take this large
21:44:07Learn1s: No problem here (in Cygwin).

21:44:41n1sLear, thanks :-) Then I can commit my patch, and not worry about it :)
21:44:41peturnls: and no problem here (linux)
21:44:55n1spetur: 32 bit?
21:44:57OzgurOh i am not into games
21:45:01peturyes
21:45:11OzgurI'd rather continue improving something about TTS
21:45:24Ozgurthere will always be improvements
21:45:36Ozgurgames look good though
21:45:38n1spetur: thanks
21:45:41Ozgurto impress people

21:53:06LloreanHow 'bout just SpeechforRockbox

21:53:23peturindeed
21:54:20*linuxstb_ points Ozgur to http://www.rockbox.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/GoldenQuotes so he understands the joke
21:54:26n1sLlorean: too easy to understand ;-)
21:54:26Ozgurwhat do you mean? Is there some problems with rockbox sound
21:54:35peturhahaha
21:54:35OzgurOK

21:55:32n1s :-D
21:57:32OzgurI haven't heard the sound of rockbox
21:57:44OzgurI compiled only the UIsimulator
21:58:03n1sOzgur: it can play music :-)
21:58:22Ozgurhow should I run mp3 files on simulator
21:58:33markunOzgur: I don't think there is anything wrong with the sound of rockbox
21:58:33Ozguris there a special directory to put the files
21:58:36tedrockvary carefully
21:58:56OzgurOK
21:59:00 Quit otih (Read error: 110 (Connection timed out))
21:59:04n1sin the dir where your simulator is built and installed there should be a dir called archos put them in that
21:59:08OzgurI am no audiophile myself
21:59:15OzgurI won't realise anything :)
21:59:35linuxstb_I think most people think Rockbox sounds equal to or better than the original firmwares it replaces.
21:59:51tedrocki just went through the fun experince of changing to a theme that used a black background with black text
22:00
22:00:06markunbut we don't have some special DSP stuff like SRS-WOW which some people seem to like
22:00:30tedrockand by fun i mean utter pain in the ass
22:02:08markuntedrock: well, if you know how, it's pretty easy to reset the settings again
22:02:26tedrockyah but doesn't that reset them all?
22:02:33markunyes
22:02:39tedrockthen i like my method better
22:02:48markunif you have your settings perfect it's a good idea to save them
22:02:51markunjust in case
22:02:58tedrockthats not a bad idea there
22:03:07tedrockbetter then smashing it on a rock... i tried taht first.
22:03:43markunthe old smashing-on-rock-reset trick..
22:04:36tedrockyah. should make a wiki article on it
