#rockbox log for 2007-07-16

00:00:01Soul-SlayerAswell as people getting the wrong idea and thinking it only means 'Delete from playlist'
00:00:12bluebrotherit's also some kind of crowding the menu ...
00:00:26Soul-SlayerI think the cons are vastly outnumbering the pros here
00:00:37bluebrotherhow about some option to temporarily follow the playlist?
00:01:03bluebrotherI.e. if you switch to the file browser through some special menu item it follows the playlist if the option is turned off.
00:01:14 Join matsl [0] (n=matsl@1-1-4-2a.mal.sth.bostream.se)
00:01:26Soul-SlayerIf people are really that worried about deleting on-the-fly, they would probably use the file browser anyway, with follow playlist already on
00:01:30 Join LinusN [0] (i=linus@rockbox/developer/LinusN)
00:01:35linuxstbOr always follow playlist if you enter the file browser from the WPS.
00:01:52Soul-SlayerDoes follow playlist default to off?
00:01:55Lloreanlinuxstb: That's the one I'm in favour of
00:01:56saratogadoes the database work with SPC files?
00:02:04bluebrotherand remove the follow playlist option? Hmm. Not sure if I like that.
00:02:05LloreanIf you tap "Menu" then choose "Files" you get the root (or last location)
00:02:20LloreanIf you press the Select button (or equivalent) from WPS, you go to the currently playing file
00:02:43Soul-SlayerWhat does select currently do on your target?
00:02:53linuxstbsaratoga: The database should work with every audio type - although many (e.g. WAV, AC3) will appear as untagged, as Rockbox doesn't attempt to read any tags from them. I don't know anything about SPC.
00:03:01bluebrothersounds reasonable, but I'm kinda unsure if I like it. I usually prefer to not follow playlist.
00:03:25Soul-SlayerFor people not used to it, it could be an annoyance, unless it had a menu setting
00:03:30bluebrotherbut the follow playlist option could be used to change between select and menu to access it.
00:04:33saratogaSPC appears to support tags since the WPS reads the game name from somewhere but they don't show up in my database, even after i refresh it
00:05:04linuxstbOr just leave everything as it is and reject the patch - the confusion between "delete file from disk" and "delete from playlist" is a good enough reason for me.
00:05:27LloreanCertainly I don't like a "Delete file" option in the WPS Context menu
00:05:33linuxstbsaratoga: The WPS may just be displaying the filename or directory name if there's no tag. Is that the case?
00:05:53Soul-SlayerI don't know of anyone ever coming here and complaining they can't quickly wipe off their player while they're on the train to work...
00:05:56bluebrotherthe potential confusion could be really a problem.
00:06:01saratogalinuxstb: I don't believe so, the information it shows is not in either
00:06:37ompaulwhat does codec failure normally mean?
00:06:53Soul-SlayerYour build version and codec version don't match
00:06:54 Join iamben [0] (n=ben@dpc67142179038.direcpc.com)
00:06:54linuxstbsaratoga: Checking the source (apps/metadata/spc.c), Rockbox does read tags from SPC files. So they should appear in the database.
00:06:55bluebrotherompaul: usually this occurs when codes files and Rockbox build doesn't match
00:07:04ompaulthanks
00:07:11ompaulI think I need more stuff then ;-)
00:07:13Soul-SlayerReplace all your rockbox files with the latest build
00:07:13bluebrotheri.e. that when upgrading you replaces rockbox.* and forgot the rest
00:07:40Bagderor you have an old rockbox.* file in the root and an older bootloader prefering that one
00:07:45Soul-SlayerIs there a reason why it just complains, rather than attempts to use the codec anyway?
00:07:56Bagderit can't use it
00:08:00saratogai wonder why my database doesn't update properly then
00:08:14ompaulSoul-Slayer, they don't plug into each other neatly might be a nice way of saying it
00:08:24Soul-SlayerHmm... Okay.
00:08:51*bluebrother smells a duplicate in the tracker ...
00:08:56BagderSoul-Slayer: the codec loader is far away from fancy so it needs a rather strict "match"
00:08:57linuxstbI thought "Codec failure" was when a codec returned an error, rather than a version mismatch...
00:09:20Soul-SlayerFair enough.
00:09:32LloreanI think "Codec Failure" covers version mismatches too.
00:10:04Soul-SlayerompaulL Either way, just overwrite all your files with the latest build
00:11:30*bluebrother closed a duplicate
00:13:00bluebrotherok, should we announce a tracker cleanup week? Or month?
00:13:13bluebrotherand ask users to try to replicate open bugs and report back?
00:13:56Zagorbluebrother: that would be nice
00:15:28bluebrotherwhat timeframe would be good? Maybe two weeks, until the end of this month?

00:17:47bluebrotherok. I'm going to mail to the rb and rb-dev lists

00:18:13peturI've been spending as much time as possible going through tracker items since last week
00:18:36bluebrothergiven notice? Like announcing it now, starting in 2 weeks and lasting for one week?

00:23:35LinusNbluebrother: it tries to fetch the manual without the proxy, and the same goes for the themes
00:23:54bluebrotherLinusN: I know for the manual −− themes installing worked for me
00:24:39LinusNthemes failed for me last time i tried
00:24:42bluebrotherbut Domonoky said that there was discussion about removing the inline manual and replacing it with only the link
00:25:14LinusNsounds good to me
00:25:14bluebrotherlet me try themes ...
00:25:50bluebrotherI would also prefer not using wx. Don't like it :o
00:26:09LinusNwhat alternatives are there?
00:26:18bluebrotherurgh. Loads of build warnings with rbutil svn ...
00:26:33BagderLinusN: qt or gtk etc probably
00:26:35bluebrotherI would prefer using Qt −− runs on all 3 important platforms.
00:26:55LinusNhow hard would it be to port it to qt?
00:27:19bluebrotherI don't know exactly. I started looking into it, but I barely know Qt / cpp
00:27:26Bagderis there an obvious benefit for such a port?

00:28:13BagderLinusN: it sounds more like a guess and what if the bugs would only follow?
00:28:20bluebrotherDomonoky seems to like Qt too.
00:28:21LinusNi'm sure we can make it work with wx too
00:28:29bluebrothersure.
00:28:52Bagderone reason would possibly be the messed up distro situation for wx 2.8

00:31:29bluebrotherhmm, installing a theme fails because it doesn't contain the correct directory structure.
00:31:37bluebrotherbut the theme file itself is correct ...
00:31:46 Nick Tr1ckY^BNC is now known as Tr1ckY^ (n=Tr1ckY@0x573c22fa.bynqu2.broadband.tele.dk)
00:32:03LinusNlast time i tried, it failed to load the index page from the theme site
00:32:24bluebrotherhmm, installing build and fonts works.
00:32:37BagderI have faith in a new themes site that can also be crafted to be rbutil friendly
00:32:47Bagderfrom the start I mean
00:33:11PaulJamLlorean: the desired behaviour of follow playlist you described 30 minutes ago, isn't that exactly how rockbox currently behaves when follow playlist is enabled?
00:33:14LinusNwould be nice
00:34:02 Nick Tr1ckY^ is now known as Guest16433 (n=Tr1ckY@0x573c22fa.bynqu2.broadband.tele.dk)
00:34:47Soul-SlayerNOt quite, he means it doesn't 'Follow playlist' if you navigate from the 'Files' option in the main menu, but it does do it if you get into the file browser from the WPS
00:34:51Soul-SlayerI believe
00:34:52LloreanPaulJam: I was talking about removing the option entirely. Filetree-from-WPS always follows the playlist, Filetree-from-menu is always based on wherever you last saw in the filetree.
00:36:07 Join XavierGr [0] (n=xavier@ppp1-196.adsl.forthnet.gr)
00:36:35PaulJamSoul-Slayer: well, currently it is the case that it doesn't follw if you enter from the main menu or by stopping playback.
00:36:38LloreanI'd actually personally be in favour of making "Select" always take you to the filetree from WPS, independent of whether the WPS was launched from Database or Filetree.
00:37:18LloreanSince there's no follow-in-database anyway.
00:37:35LinusNi just tried the latest version of rbutil, and answered "No" to the autodetect question, and it tried to load the manual from "manual/rockbox-/rockbox-build.html" :-)
00:37:50PaulJamLlorean: but people who use itunes to tranfer music might not like this behaviour.
00:38:20LinusNand now i am stuck in an endless loop of autodetect questions
00:38:39 Nick Guest16433 is now known as Tr1ckY^ (n=Tr1ckY@0x573c22fa.bynqu2.broadband.tele.dk)
00:38:42LinusNif i say "No", it pops up again
00:38:43 Quit saratoga ("CGI:IRC (Ping timeout)")
00:39:00LinusNif i say yes, it says "autodetect failed, aborting", and it pops up again
00:39:25LloreanPaulJam: It adds an extra two button presses (or one button press and a portion of a turn) to get to the Database from WPS.
00:39:31LinusNi'm stuck, have to kill it with the task manager
00:39:42bluebrotherautodetect question? rbutil autodetects silently on startup
00:39:52LloreanBut it does clear up the "Follow Playlist" question with a bit of finality.
00:39:59bluebrotherand for me it doesn't ask when pressing the "Autodetect" button
00:40:28LinusNbluebrother: yes, and then it fails to load the manual, and then i get the question: "no device selected, want to autodetect?"
00:40:48 Quit SiebaZ (Read error: 110 (Connection timed out))

00:41:20LinusNi get the question every time i start rbutil
00:41:50linuxstbLlorean: Why should users who prefer the database be taken to the file browser? I'm sure it's not just itunes users that only navigate with the database.
00:41:54 Nick Tr1ckY^ is now known as Guest16433 (n=Tr1ckY@0x573c22fa.bynqu2.broadband.tele.dk)
00:41:59bluebrotherah, I see what you mean. Forgot that I have a configuration file already ...
00:42:30Lloreanlinuxstb: You can't follow in the database anyway, and if you're inserting individual songs/folders you don't end up in the WPS
00:42:44LinusNnow it's even better, now it pops right up again regardless of what i say
00:43:09LinusNand the "failed to load the manual" dialog is behind it
00:44:24LloreanI just really like the idea of "select" in the WPS always highlighting the current song. And that's only doable in the filetree.
00:45:29linuxstbLlorean: I disagree, but need to sleep...
00:45:33 Quit linuxstb ("CGI:IRC")
00:46:14Soul-SlayerLlorean: What does select currently do for you?
00:47:04bluebrotherwoah! Now rbutil is going mad :(
00:47:29LinusNbluebrother: sorry i dragged you into this mess :-)
00:47:35LloreanSoul-Slayer: Depends on from where I entered the WPS.
00:47:42LloreanAt least, last time I checked.
00:47:49bluebrotherwell, I wanted to learn some cpp anyway ... ;-)
00:48:09Soul-SlayerDo you usually use the database or file tree?
00:48:35LloreanI rarely use the database outside of testing.
00:49:02LloreanI also rarely use follow playlist.
00:49:36Soul-SlayerIs there a reason for that? Seeing as it sounds like it would do exactly what you'd like
00:49:45 Join nerdytacos [0] (i=4ccc5b6d@gateway/web/cgi-irc/labb.contactor.se/x-5fd96c68364dcc7a)
00:49:50nerdytacoshi
00:49:55Soul-SlayerHello
00:49:58LloreanI never said I wanted to use the feature.
00:50:04LloreanI said I think it makes sense.
00:50:22LloreanHolding "Select" brings a context menu with varying things to do relating to the file
00:51:26LloreanSo tapping select could take you to the file, and we could be rid of an option in menus that are already quite full of options, and head off future feature requests for a follow-database option.
00:51:41nerdytacosim having problems with rockcalendar and rockword from plugbox
00:52:00Lloreannerdytacos: Those aren't official. You should ask their creator(s)
00:52:03Soul-SlayerIt doesn't really make sense to play a song through the database, then leave it through the file tree, however. Which is the only way that could be implemented by what has been said. And people entering through the file tree and expecting that behaviour could just use follow playlist.
00:52:25LloreanSoul-Slayer: You don't leave it through the filetree.
00:52:36LloreanWhen you invoke the file by pressing "Select" it takes you to the filetree
00:53:00LloreanI've never seen "Select" as leaving the WPS, I've seen it as "Invoking the filetree", which may be the reason we see things differently
00:53:19LloreanI'd just rather it invoke the file's location, rather than a location dependent on settings
00:53:30LloreanIf you were "leaving" playback, playback would stop
00:54:19Soul-SlayerBut if you enter the WPS through the database, pressing select (presumably) returns you to the database at the moment?
00:54:50nerdytacosLlorean: well, all I need to know is what build of rockbox they work with. My build is from a few days ago, but they don't work, so they must work with a past build, i just need to know what date. it doesn't say on the plugbox website.
00:55:33Lloreannerdytacos: Then email the site admin or programmers. We honestly can't be expected to know what someone else's software is designed to work with, I think.
00:55:50LloreanSoul-Slayer: I'm fairly certain, yes. Why?
00:55:50 Quit nerdytacos ("CGI:IRC (EOF)")
00:56:42JdGordonwasnt plugbox abandonded?
00:56:53Soul-SlayerLlorean: So, say I enter an album to listen to a song through the database, it enters the WPS as per normal... With your feature implemented, how would I go back to the database, to listen to another album?
00:57:04LloreanMenu, down, select.
00:57:09LloreanTwo button presses more than as currently
00:57:12PaulJamnerdytacos: they are really outdates on the plugbox site (maybe 1,5 yers?). the rockcalendar can be found on the patchtracker and i think rockword was never really completed.
00:58:12LloreanBecause you're going to have to navigate around the database anyway, an extra button press or two doesn't make a significant difference.
00:58:41Soul-SlayerLlorean: That would go to root menu, then database? That wouldn't return me to the same artist I was on before though, so I'd have to navigate all the way back to it.
00:58:51LloreanMeanwhile locating the currently playing song quickly can skip many button presses, and sometimes you're not even sure where it is on the player (for example, when the database picks up files in a hidden folder or the trash)
00:59:22LloreanSoul-Slayer: You're wrong
00:59:38PaulJamLlorean: but for people who prefer to have the filebrowser show the last used location it would also mean 4 buttonpresses instead of one.
00:59:43LloreanIt will return you to wherever you were in the database when you left it.
00:59:56LloreanPaulJam: Four?
01:00
01:00:00LloreanPaulJam: "Menu, Select"
01:00:11PaulJamLlorean: menu, up, up, select
01:00:21Soul-SlayerAh, okay. I've never had to do it that way before, as I can just press a single button to return to where I was
01:01:00LloreanAh, it highlights "Now playing"
01:01:15LloreanEither way, if you're navigating, one or two presses doesn't matter. Or three.
01:01:17 Quit Lear ("ChatZilla 0.9.78.1 [Firefox 2.0.0.4/2007051502]")
01:02:03PaulJamLlorean: but it would mean a lot of people coming and complaining.

01:02:19LloreanAnd?
01:02:54LloreanIt would also make the "selecting" the "While Playing" screen select the while playing song, which makes a strong sort of sense.
01:03:48Soul-SlayerLlorean: If I'm honest, I can't think of an instance where I'd need to listen to a song, then be able to access it through my file tree
01:03:53Soul-SlayerQuickly*
01:04:52LloreanSoul-Slayer: Delete a song that you didn't realize was still on the player, find the location of a song that *shouldn't* be on the player, add another song from that album into the playlist when playing a shuffled playlist
01:04:55***Saving seen data "./dancer.seen"
01:06:11LinusNLlorean: isn't this what "follow playlist" does?
01:06:17 Quit kfazz ("Leaving")
01:06:23LloreanLinusN: Yes.
01:06:44LinusNthen i guess i'm missing the point - ignore me
01:07:12Soul-SlayerYour third point can be accomplished through the database how it is currently, and I think even the file tree will return you to the same folder, just not necessarily highlight the current song. And you wouldn't need the current song highlighted to do the third point. The second point can be found by going to the context menu and into Properties or similar.
01:07:24LloreanLinusN: Seriously, all I did was echo my agreement that it could make sense for the filetree to *always* follow playlist when entered from the WPS
01:07:50LloreanSo that the option could be removed, and there's no question about why it follows in filetree but not database, etc.
01:07:54 Quit Entasis (Read error: 104 (Connection reset by peer))
01:07:55Soul-SlayerThe first point, I agree, that would save time, but that doesn't happen often enough to have to have buttons mapped to it.
01:07:57bluebrotherLlorean: well, I wouldn't want to do that.
01:08:09 Quit obo ("bye")
01:08:18bluebrotherbut that option could be changed so it swaps between follow on menu or wps
01:08:46LloreanSoul-Slayer: So I'm supposed to generate a database to add a song from an album?
01:08:57LloreanIf I don't have on generated or up to date.
01:09:08Soul-SlayerLlorean: You said yourself you don't use follow playlist, I fail to see why you'd want it permanently implemented, and lose yourself a button to do so.
01:09:19LloreanBecause I think it makes sense.
01:09:23LloreanSeriously, that's *all* I said
01:09:26LloreanIt makes sense to me.
01:09:36Soul-SlayerI'd imagine if you were an avid database user, you'd keep it updated.
01:09:42LloreanYou aren't going to talk me out of it, so quit trying, I'm not trying to talk you into it, and if you don't like it, fine, we disagree.
01:09:49LloreanBut challenging it isn't going to make the idea make less sense to me.
01:09:56Soul-SlayerFair enough.
01:10:01LloreanSoul-Slayer: I told you earlier, I don't use the database.
01:10:16Soul-SlayerI was speaking hypothetically, anyhow, as you say, we agree to disagree.
01:10:20LloreanI'm not arguing *for* the point, as I've said, I don't use follow playlist.
01:10:46LloreanOne can like an idea without saying "We need to implement this"
01:12:12LloreanI just really like the idea of knowing exactly where any button press will take me, rather than it depending on from what direction I entered the WPS.
01:12:21LloreanAnd what a certain menu option is set to right now.

03:34:27safetydanTTSbox, IRAM is is the instruction cache RAM in the CPU. It's basically very fast RAM which should be used for frequently used functions and data.
03:34:55safetydanThere's only a small amount of it though, so you need to mark your code to tell the linker what parts to put in IRAM.

04:07:14godzirraHeya guys... I've got a new sansa e280, and I have some questions. First, it says it runs on the e200 series, I assume that includes the e280?
04:07:32godzirraMy second question is that it says that you DONT have to install a new bootloader, then further down the page it says you do. Iassume you do?
04:09:10midkaygodzirra: yes, the e280 is part of the e200 series.. and what page has that conflicting information? either way, you should follow the instructions step by step and it should work fine.
04:11:35iambengodzirra: did you read carefully? there are 2 bootloaders, the sansa bootloader (which you can't get rid of) loads the rockbox bootloader
04:12:18godzirraYeah, i see that... I guess its not technically conflicting, but it is somewhat confusing

07:45:19Kikkoi came to rockbox simply because i want a dap to play flac
07:45:27Kikkoand i am going on a trip tommarow
07:45:39Kikkoand is there a way to put this thing into sleep?
07:45:47Kikkoi know in iplinux it was impossible
07:45:52Kikkoyou just had to shut it down
07:45:57midkaywoodensoul: then use a smaller file for tests?
07:46:20midkayKikko: no, no "sleep".
07:46:28Kikkowow
07:46:31midkayit shouldn't take long to boot, though.. depending on the model you use.
07:46:38Kikkoso its not really a function player yet
07:46:42midkaysleep will simply drain the battery unnecessarily.
07:46:44midkaya function player?

07:47:01Kikkodo i just leave it on the entire time?
07:47:13scorcheyou can shut it down...
07:47:20midkayit's incredibly functional. we just choose not to have a sleep mode.
07:47:27Kikkohmm
07:47:30Kikkobut when i shut it down
07:47:30midkayyou turn it off when you don't use it. just like almost every other electronic device in the world.
07:47:32Kikkoit reboots
07:47:43Kikkowhen i hold play it just reboots
07:47:47amiconnSleep is only for slow-booting original firmwares
07:48:01scorchehold play/pause...dont use the restart combination
07:48:02amiconnRockbox boots fast, so not much need for sleep mode

07:48:22Kikkoand goes to the reboot logo

07:48:44midkayodd... make sure you release the play button when the "shutting down" splash appears.
07:48:56midkayif you continue holding it, the release event may trigger a startup..

09:40:50 Part dan_a
09:41:03linuxstbDavo_Dinkum: Rockbox completely replaces the main Apple firmware (stored on the hard disk), although the default install method is to keep it available via dual-boot. The parts of the Apple firmware in flash (the first-stage bootloader, emergency disk mode) are untouched (and Rockbox doesn't yet have the ability to replace them, although it does run from flash on some other devices).
09:41:27peturafaik rockbox boots a bit faster with apple os removed (?)
09:42:56 Quit DarthShrine (Read error: 104 (Connection reset by peer))
09:43:07linuxstbYes, the default install appends the Rockbox bootloader to the main Apple firmware image on disk - so the first-stage bootloader loads both to RAM. You can either move the appleos to a file (so you keep dual-boot), or just remove it completely.

10:59:02amiconnJdGordon: The goal is that no user screen ever uses the sysfont
10:59:07bluebrotherJdGordon: can't the screen makde scrollable?
10:59:14*pixelma would love to see independent fonts for remote and main screen
10:59:30*amiconn pings markun and asks about the font caching rework again
10:59:37markunyes yes :)
10:59:44bluebrotheri.e. if it doesn't fit just add a scrollbar?
10:59:49JdGordonamiconn: of course, but when the screen would fit with the sysfont and not the ui font its the best option
11:00
11:00:08JdGordonbluebrother: I dont tihnk that would feel very nice to the user
11:00:39bluebrotherwhy not? Better than defaulting to some small font as some users might dislike / have problems with reading
11:00:53bluebrotherlists are scrollable too ;-)
11:01:03JdGordonnot enough buttons....
11:01:17JdGordonleft/right changes items, up/down adjusts option...
11:01:22JdGordonwhat would move screen be?
11:01:45bluebrotherthe h100 remote has buttons left ;-)
11:01:55bluebrotherbut yes, that's an issue.
11:01:56linuxstbleft/right would scroll - if the item isn't on the screen?
11:02:30JdGordonthe problem is the help part of the screen sint shown, which imo isnt a problem
11:03:24amiconnJdGordon: No its not. The sysfont can't be used to display non-latin characters
11:03:37JdGordonthats a seperate issue... but yeah
11:04:04JdGordonnow, if we had viewports which could handle scrolling without extra code.... that woudl be sweet
11:04:53amiconnViewports have nothing to do with scrolling lists or screens
11:04:59JdGordon:D
11:05:05***Saving seen data "./dancer.seen"
11:05:08JdGordonthey could though....
11:05:25JdGordonthe vp could be fully drawn to, but only a small bit of it is actually on the screen
11:05:26bluebrotherwell, the time / date screen could also work a bit different:
11:05:35amiconnNo they couldn't
11:05:36bluebrotheruse left / right / up / down to navigate
11:05:47amiconnWe won't reserve a buffer bigger than the screen
11:05:50bluebrotherthen press select over the item you want to change.
11:06:12bluebrotherand accept the changes with play, or add a "accept" item to select
11:06:16bluebrothersame for cancelling
11:06:42JdGordonit might even be better to spli the screen into 2, one for time and one for date
11:07:01bluebrotherbtw, the screen also fails with really large fonts. Just tried ter28
11:07:16JdGordonfails how?
11:07:19bluebrotheryou only see parts of it −− i.e. only the time (talking about main unit)
11:07:33JdGordonbecause its too wide?
11:07:36bluebrotheryes.
11:07:55*JdGordon is open to suggestions how to fix that...
11:08:00JdGordonchanging to sys font would be better
11:08:29bluebrothernot sure if anybody ever uses a font of that size on the h100 ...
11:09:22bluebrotherthe date could be repesented as digits only. That would make it similarly wide as the time
11:09:56bluebrotherunfortunately this adds the possibility of confusion because of the different date formatting depending on region ...

15:23:16Butsumetsuwill do~
15:23:21Butsumetsuthx
15:23:36Soul-SlayerThe time remaining estimates can't really be accurate unless they are averaging out the current battery usage and calculate how long it would take to drain the battery to nothing. I'm not sure if they do this or if they just have a set average time and do it to the % battery remaining?
15:23:36aliaskHrm. I'm getting "invalid lvalue in assignment" when setting a register explicitly (ie REG = 1234;), but it works if I just manipulate certain bits in the register. Is it something to do with how I defined it?

15:28:12linuxstbaliask: I don't know if it matters, but the examples I've seen have more brackets - e.g. (*(volatile unsigned char *)(0xcf000000))

15:42:56linuxstb(assuming they are)
15:43:14aliaskIt was actually on another register
15:43:23aliaskWhere I added something to the base address
15:43:31peturaha
15:43:32linuxstbAh, then yes.
15:43:58linuxstbIt's good practice to use lots of brackets in macros...

15:45:12peturif you create a define that is actually a combination of things, always use brackets there: #define MYDEF (0xabba + 5)

15:53:13linuxstbDo you have a status page for the port?
15:53:34aliaskNo, we probably should though.
15:54:19GodEater_yeah, so it can get as outdated as the rest of them
15:54:20GodEater_:)
15:55:27linuxstbThey're normally well maintained when the port is active, but when development grinds to a halt, it's forgotten about...
15:56:19GodEater_I just like the arbitrary "20%" done things in them - how do you measure that ;)
15:56:52aliask"It's a feeling"
15:56:52linuxstbI'm sure it made sense to someone, sometime...
15:57:25linuxstbHow would I checkout the gigabeat branch?
15:58:00 Part elch
15:58:17*linuxstb guessed svn co svn://svn.rockbox.org/rockbox/branches/gigabeat-s and it seems to be working...

15:58:40*aliask too slow
15:58:56linuxstbaliask: That was the first thing I tried, and it didn't work - I needed to add "/rockbox"
15:59:23aliaskThis Port page is just going to make people depressed... :P
15:59:30GodEater_hahaha

16:00:31linuxstbI see a commit of a serial port driver - is that working? How do you connect it to something?
16:00:52aliasklinuxstb: Do you have a soldering iron and a handy max232/233 chip?
16:01:18aliaskIf so: http://www.rockbox.org/twiki/bin/viewfile/Main/GigabeatSInfo?rev=1;filename=console_port_connection.JPG
16:02:07aliaskI'm still waiting for my max233 in the mail though. It'd be very useful for grabbing data before stack overflows etc.
16:02:19aliaskAt the moment I just have to try to read VERY fast.
16:03:13linuxstbaliask: No to both those things (and no ability with a soldering iron at all...)
16:04:20GodEater_I have a soldering iron - but sadly a similar level of ability with it
16:07:58aliaskhttp://www.rockbox.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/GigabeatSPort
16:08:06aliaskFor all to despair over.
16:08:27linuxstbYou have 50% of an audio DAC driver already?
16:08:42aliaskThe codec already has a driver in rockbox
16:08:44linuxstbAh, it's WM8975 compatible...
16:09:08linuxstbDoes the imx31 have a hardware microsecond timer (similar to the PP chips) ?
16:09:26aliaskNot that I know of (pretty sure it doesn't)
16:09:50aliaskI've written a driver for it at the moment, but I get a stack overflow when I do kernel_init()
16:10:02linuxstbWhat's lacking in the LCD driver? I thought I saw a "hello world" screenshot?
16:10:09*GodEater_ is really keen to own a Gigabeat S now.
16:10:17aliaskWe don't really understand WHY it works
16:10:30aliaskMaybe 1% is a bit pessimistic

16:16:14aliaskIt's very close
16:16:21LloreanAccording to Toffe, it's nearly identical.
16:16:26LloreanHe showed us one at DevCon
16:16:38*GodEater_ starts looking
16:16:44LloreanI wouldn't personally choose it over an S though, the "Bigger" screen is the same resolution, so it's simply blockier.

19:00:13linuxstbThe one I'm looking at is a 10GB G1 - current bid 20UKP.
19:00:18linuxstb(in the UK)
19:00:31amiconnI wonder which one should be done 1st. I would happily adapt rockbox to both, but I wouldn't like to keep both myself. Too similar, and I already have many targets...

19:45:07Oktabihello there! May I ask a question? How should I update rockbox? Sometimes the change log says, that a file was removed - so i can't just overwrite... on the other hand i don't want to delete the whole folder (presets, gui)
19:45:54linuxstbYou can just overwrite - that's what most people do.
19:46:14linuxstbThe changelog probably refers to source code files being removed - which is different to files in the rockbox.zip
19:46:30*datsit40ther1 is not understanding....isnt the h10 supposed to mount like a disk so I can load it?
19:47:04linuxstbdatsit40ther1: Yes, but the usb mode is implemented in software on your H10, and Rockbox doesn't implement it. You need to use the original iriver firmware.

19:50:55linuxstbProbably the best place for help with Rockbox on the H10 is the misticriver H10 Rockbox forum.

19:53:30datsit40ther1I am also hoping that rockbox will let me choose stuff in a simple manner, as in file name and folder
19:53:45datsit40ther1I am looking at the instructions now
19:53:48datsit40ther1i have the zip
19:54:14linuxstbYes, Rockbox is a file-browser based firmware (although there's a database-driven interface as well)
19:54:33datsit40ther1i run a streaming audio website and want to use my files in the h10, they have no tags

20:34:21amiconnlinuxstb: The playlist code is called to add every single track when playing from the db, so it becomes a whole lot slower than in directory mode
20:34:21linuxstbSo you came to #rockbox ? ;)
20:34:36linuxstbamiconn: Do you know if there's a good reason for that?

21:26:38linuxstb_AceNik: It's always helpful to confirm the exact day (or even better, the exact commit) that broke things.
21:27:14linuxstb_amiconn: Which H10 did you get?
21:27:20amiconnH10 6GB
21:27:27amiconn..with radio
21:27:34AceNikwell i did make a comment on it the day it started & no one on the IRC responded so i just went off, i thought it might get ok in a few days, thats why im upgrading in 5 days
21:27:45linuxstb_Rockbox doesn't support the H10 radio yet?

21:29:17datsit40ther1fwiw I have an h10 5gig that I just put rockbox on today
21:29:38*datsit40ther1 = total newbie to rockbox
21:30:21datsit40ther1it works, but now I need to get familiar with rockbox in general

21:30:51datsit40ther1at least i think i have...lol

21:31:43*datsit40ther1 will know more after i get to play with the h10/rockbox combo later
21:32:19datsit40ther1all i want it to do is give me large fonts and let me navigate using folder and file names
21:32:32datsit40ther1and also not loose its place from day to day
21:32:44datsit40ther1old h1 had no bookmarks that I could find

22:03:02bluebrotherwell, just enable the "follow playlist" option. Then switching to the file browser will start at the currently playing track
22:03:20YmsetjenestaSorry abt the dots. I'll remember. Yeah I belive I use the DB. I can browse by tag info
22:03:21AceNik Ymsetjenesta: do you use the databse function
22:03:49bluebrotherand you can delete files from the file browser using the context menu. Hold select to bring up the context menu
22:04:07stripwaxYmsetjenesta - if you don't like a song you can just hit Next .. and delete it when you reconnect to a PC later on?
22:04:10AceNik Ymsetjenesta: ok then tillnow you request is not possible even im waitin for this, the day it is, you'll be able to add custom directories to the database view
22:04:33AceNik Ymsetjenesta:till then just browse looking at the path
22:04:43bluebrotheryou can't delete a track from the database. You need to switch to the appropriate file in the file browser.
22:04:54stripwaxthat's what he said
22:05:13bluebrother(and there is a known bug: sometimes Rockbox crashes when deleting the currently playing track)

22:22:42Domonokythis event is for updating data, not the screen..
22:23:06bluebrotherhmm. But is there any data that needs frequent updating?
22:23:06Domonokylike to disable ui elements and such things.. i think..
22:23:48Domonokyno.. its only because i put the deviceselection in an seperate control.. and i cant get the event of the dropdown..

23:04:33XpecialGuestlinuxstb why?
23:04:47XpecialGuestits so dificult to do that?
23:05:01AceNikguys can i use any headphone with my h10, of any impedance?

23:07:49scorcheah...well, it was regarding them currently using gcc 4.1.1...i was mentioning to them about possibly trying to use 4.0.3 to be friendly with all of the current methods of getting the cross compilers, but the reason for using 4.1.1 is because with 4.0.3 they wouldnt be able to use cpu specific opcodes for the imx31...is that something that could be patched into 4.0.3 to make things easier for any compilers?

23:21:52scorcheyes, but is it realistic to backport the arm11 support into 4.0.3?
23:22:15amiconnYou don't need specific arm11 support in order to run arm code an an arm11

23:23:02amiconnThe only reason for using a later gcc would be using some newer instructions for performance
23:23:19scorchei know, but as i said, they wouldnt be able to use the opcodes for the imx31 if they decide to do that in the future

23:34:43*amiconn wonders what the constant 0x2aaaaaab might be

23:37:10jhMikeSargh, what the heck's with the errors in the sims build? ...makefile ignorance and all :)
23:39:17stripwaxamiconn - divide by 10?
23:39:25*stripwax has a vague memory of a gcc optimisation..
23:39:58amiconn0x2aaaaab is 1/6 in 0.32, or 1/3 in s0.31
23:40:33*ender` yawns
23:41:20stripwaxmm, true
23:42:25stripwaxamiconn - what context? pll setup?
23:42:49amiconnprobably. That's a mess of an asm routine compared to the ipod code :(
23:43:00saratogathat gigabeat S CPU really is amazing
23:43:06toffe82Bagder , amiconn : I think the problem with gcc 4.03 and the imx31 is the floating point
23:43:16saratogalooking at the FPU, it can even retire ops out of order
23:44:09toffe82I remember trying to compile the code from ptw419 on the vmware image and it gave me an error about this.
23:44:50toffe82from the gigabeat log : 02:15:46 <ptw419> well it compiles fine w/ 4.0.3, but if you get that error about the FP, then you'll need to upgrade to 4.1.1
23:45:31Bagderwell if we can't do other rockbox targets with gcc 4.1.x, I figure we'll just have to accept that we need two sets

23:47:35Bagderto allow targets to use only a subset of codecs I believe
23:48:34jhMikeSlinuxstb_: ok, thanks. I'll check it out.
23:48:52linuxstb_Bagder: There must be a nicer way - at the moment, all targets use all libs (apart from maybe the iFP).
23:49:09linuxstb_And it seems from jhMikeS's commit, it's only used for sim builds...
23:49:09Bagderyeah, we should improve that
23:49:20amiconnMost probably the porblem with newer gcc and arm targets is an asm block with incorrect constraints

23:53:22jhMikeSamiconn: anything to do with using "=/+r" instead of "=/+&r" for outputs that get using throughout? Forgetting "&" has caused problems for me many times.
23:53:54amiconn+&r doesn't make sense
23:54:05amiconn=&r does, and might be the problem if missing
23:57:21jhMikeS+&r is accepted by it
23:57:59amiconnMaybe, but it makes no difference to just +r
23:58:58Bagdertoffe82: but what in a rockbox port uses floating point?
