#rockbox log for 2007-07-19

00:00:13Nico_PI'd say around 100K with a reasonable bitmap
00:00:20Nico_Pnot sure
00:00:31stripwaxNico_P : - dumb question but what do the ** represent in your example?
00:00:40bluebrotherhmm. Quite much, but not too much compared with 32MiB buffer size.
00:00:56Nico_Pstripwax: the currently playing part... I took markun's notations
00:02:14stripwaxah sorry
00:03:26pixelmabluebrother: not all targets have 32MB buffer... there are some with 16MB and some with much less...
00:03:34stripwaxright. I'd misunderstood what your example was. Yours is with the metadata at the end
00:03:41Nico_Pstripwax: yes
00:04:03bluebrotherpixelma: right, but I guess you won't want AA on those targets.
00:04:10stripwaxis there a penalty in partitioning the buffer into audio|metadata?
00:04:15bluebrotheror do any of the newer, color targets have smaller buffers?
00:04:23 Quit saratoga ("CGI:IRC (Ping timeout)")
00:04:29pixelmayes, X5 for example
00:04:47stripwaxno, that won't work. right.
00:04:56bluebrotherhmm. Should check the device chart. Thought all color targets have at least 32 MiB
00:04:59*stripwax is finally up to speed, sorry about that
00:05:14pixelmathe X5 has 16MB

00:06:41bluebrotherwell, we could still require users to resize AA to some reasonable size.
00:07:23pixelmabut I could imagine AA on greyscale btw.
00:07:27stripwaxpixelma - hmm, why not? (or just because of png)
00:07:51stripwaxperhaps AA metadata could be resized on load..
00:07:57pixelmayes, I meant because of the png

00:09:23stripwaxlinuxstb - (because I can't remember) - is the buffer just a contiguous array (logically divided until blocks but not physically), or is it an array of pointers->blocks? (i.e. does that imply a memcpy)

00:10:03linuxstb_It's a contiguous array.
00:10:21stripwaxok
00:11:10stripwaxso moving metadata around means invalidating pointers that plugins might have
00:11:44linuxstb_Yes, it means anything using metadata can't assume it will still be there after a yield().

00:13:33*Nico_P is starting to think that too
00:13:48bluebrotherI'm still wondering if it wouldn't be more effecient to just define blocked metadata blocks
00:13:56linuxstb_Yes, but will it complicate the rest of Rockbox a lot?

00:14:49bluebrotherif it's capsuled good enough, so the higher audio stuff doesn't know about the buffering?
00:15:15*bluebrother started to draw brackets around old data buffers. Makes it a bit cleaner.
00:15:20markunlinuxstb_: yes, I read the part of "... after a yield()" after I hit enter
00:16:21*bluebrother remembers himself of KISS.
00:17:06linuxstb_The KISS solution is to have a static worst-case buffer for the current track's metadata....
00:17:07 Quit RaRe (Read error: 110 (Connection timed out))
00:17:35Nico_P... like for the codec
00:17:38stripwaxWould using an index to a list of buffers (and reordering the indexes) be easier than copying the metadata around within the buffer?
00:17:48bluebrotheryeah, but there needs to be a KISS solution for something more advanced ;-)

00:18:15stripwax(assuming the buffer behaves like a list of buffers and not just one long arbitrary block of memory)
00:18:28bluebrotherstripwax: that sounds like the blocked sections I'm thinking about
00:18:40linuxstb_The buffer does behave like a long arbitrary block of memory...
00:18:54*stripwax must have misunderstood the A1,A2,A3, notation..
00:19:16linuxstb_stripwax: Yes, that's just a simplification of what's going on.
00:19:19stripwaxok.
00:19:43linuxstb_In reality you'll buffer blocks of varying size - as big as you can.
00:19:47stripwaxdid it change? vaguely remember the playback code referring to actual buffers
00:19:53stripwaxat some point, in the past
00:20:09 Quit secleinteer (Connection timed out)
00:20:47linuxstb_I think the PCM buffer is split into smaller buffers, but I'm not sure.
00:21:11stripwaxhm, yep - maybe I was thinking of the PCM buffer not the codec buffer. bah.
00:21:17 Quit Siltaar ("Aurevoir - www.fdn.fr/~sdescarp")
00:21:20jhMikeSit's one buffer with an allocation index...not really split
00:23:43 Quit Febs ("ChatZilla 0.9.78.1 [Firefox 2.0.0.4/2007051502]")
00:24:23linuxstb_There is one flaw in my plan though - the data that is freed whilst the buffer is being filled can't be used.
00:25:31markunlinuxstb_: I don't see what you mean
00:26:43linuxstb_I mean when there is 1MB of data left in the buffer, you start reading from disk. But when you've finished reading, you may only have 512KB left. IIUC, the current playback code will continue buffering into that newly freed 512KB.
00:27:06linuxstb_(reading and buffering takes many seconds to do)
00:27:32markunah yes, that's impossible if you move the metadata first
00:27:40bluebrothera try by me (linuxstb_'s version on top) http://www.pastebin.ca/625407
00:29:01stripwaxbluebrother - on line 34, where is AM while A5 is playing?
00:29:48bluebrotherargh. Seems I got myself confused once more :(
00:30:08bluebrotherbut I also wanted to have the metadata at the beginning.
00:30:23bluebrotheror at least look how it will work that way ;-)
00:31:35stripwax:) so the first line would be AM, A1, .. with holes while A1, A2 get played?
00:32:43linuxstb_bluebrother: You also seem to overwrite BM before B has finished playing.
00:34:21jhMikeSis the purpose of metadata movement to keep it valid for the duration of the track if T+M can't fit? (trying to get a clue)
00:35:12linuxstb_1) The metadata needs to be on the buffer for the life of the track; 2) Moving the metadata will stop holes appearing.
00:36:12jhMikeSall of it or can some be discardable after read? are codecs just metadata too?
00:36:25linuxstb_markun's original example demonstrated the hole problem - http://130.89.160.166/rockbox/buffer-examples.txt
00:36:52linuxstb_codecs will be discardable, as they are now. Other info (id3, album art, cuesheets etc) needs to stay available.

00:40:02linuxstb_bluebrother: What were you trying to show?
00:41:10markunlinuxstb_: I might have something.. let me try to 'draw' it out first
00:41:29stripwaxdoes the metadata need to move every time we load in more audio data chunks to keep it at the end? i.e. would there be a huge penalty to go from A1,A2,AM to A2,AM,A3 ?
00:41:41markunlinuxstb_: btw, I updated my original file a bit, is it clearer now?
00:41:48Nico_Plinuxstb_: I really don't know what to do... moving the metadata sounds good but might cause problems for the users of the metadata, but there seems to be no elegant way of not moving it... :(
00:42:04stripwaxbut i guess the problem there is that the codec needs to know that it needs to skip that region
00:42:06linuxstb_stripwax: A2, AM, A3 is bad because A2 and A3 are no longer contiguous.
00:42:21stripwaxyes −− but I'm wondering how 'bad' that really is.
00:43:04linuxstb_striptwax: It doesn't solve the problem anyway, when A2 and A3 are played, you have AM with empty space both before and after it - complicating later buffering.
00:44:01markunlinuxstb_: damn, what I wanted to try would involve a memmove on a part of memory we are currently playing from :(
00:44:34 Quit indro_ (Read error: 104 (Connection reset by peer))
00:44:47linuxstb_Nico_P: I don't know either.... I'm sure you know the "metadata user" parts of Rockbox better than me.
00:45:41stripwaxlinuxstb - hm, I was thinking a lazy move of AM when it matters would resolve that but I've tried out a few examples and can't think of a way to do that reliably :(
00:45:47bluebrotherlinuxstb_: I wanted to show the case where the memory gets fragmented and see how bad it is. It's memory, so random accesses don't cost extra.
00:46:31linuxstb_Well, it makes the buffering code more complex. It also means the guard buffer needs to be used more when giving data to codecs.

00:54:18markunlinuxstb_: this is what my example should have looked like I think: http://130.89.160.166/rockbox/buffer-example2.txt
00:55:17markunin the last line is should say that BM is preventing buffering
00:56:24markundamn, why does it have to be so complex :)
00:56:31 Quit ender` (" Today's BOFH excuse: broadcast packets on wrong frequency")
00:56:32stripwaxmarkun - does that have the same issues as my example (A4,A5 not contiguous, AM has holes either side)
00:56:53stripwaxor does it just stall while there are holes, until there are no longer holes?
00:58:13markunstripwax: it's getting a bit late to think clearly about it :(
00:58:21stripwaxI'm thinking after A4 has played, AM could be moved to where A4 was (so A4 is now at the back of the buffer). But that only works because the buffer doesn't have both BM and B1 buffered.
00:58:38stripwax^AM is now at the back, not A4 like I said..
00:58:42*stripwax is tired too
00:59:22jhMikeSumm...why can't metadata be at the start of buffering and then right-justified with remaining data from a current track? also, handles can be lockable.
01:00
01:00:09stripwaxjhMikeS - how much of the buffer would you allocate to metadata? how would you recover it later?
01:00:24Nico_PjhMikeS: I don't see what you mean ?
01:00:40linuxstb_JhMikeS: We need some ASCII art..
01:00:42stripwaxjhMikeS - I'm thinking you mean something like AM,BM,CM,DM | A1,A2,B1,B2,C1,C2, .. -> −−,−−,−−,DM | −−,−−,−−, D1,D2,D3 ...
01:00:57stripwaxwhere | is a virtual division between metadata and audiodata.
01:01:41*jhMikeS will get to the acii art soon. I'd allocate however many bytes are required though.
01:01:49stripwaxin that case, you can't rejoin the metadata partition with the audiodata partition until DM has been consumed and/or you move DM to the beginning (and potentially move audiodata into the reclaimed spot to keep the audiodata as a ring)
01:02:11stripwaxjhMikeS - so that would be like a separate metadata buffer and audiodata buffer?
01:02:41LloreanjhMikeS: Doesn't that kinda depend on a reliable ratio of metadata size to audio size?

01:02:54LloreanIf you have a single very large file, you've wasted a lot of metadata space
01:03:06LloreanIf you have many, many, many tiny files (SID) you can't store all their tags without rebuffering.
01:03:14stripwaxjhMikeS - ok but what happens when you buffer a bunch of files at once
01:04:05jhMikeSIf they're small, I'm not sure what the problem is.
01:04:36jhMikeSAM A, BM B, CM C, DM D ... etc.
01:06:10*jhMikeS is probably missing a point or two here :)
01:06:12stripwaxjhMikeS - oh so metadata gets memcoped as we move through the audio buffer. this is linuxstb's suggestion.
01:06:17***Saving seen data "./dancer.seen"
01:06:18stripwaxmemcopied.
01:07:05jhMikeSright...I was following such suggestions. it only happens if a track is incompletely buffered then.
01:07:53stripwaxand redbuffering can't make use of buffer that gets freed up while doing the rebuffering itself
01:08:24stripwaxoh, unless the rebuffering does the memmove in this case?
01:08:34*stripwax thinks that sounds complicated

01:10:31 Part maffe
01:11:51jhMikeSthe goal is to fill the buffer or finish-off the track so it can be moved a reasonable amount or even the exact amount before even starting

01:13:41stripwaxif the metadata is at the start of the audiodata in the buffer, won't that also mean you need to keep moving the metadata all the time while it's playnig? trying to keep the metadata at the end of the audiodata should mean that gets moved around less
01:13:55 Join mbishop [0] (n=martin@unaffiliated/mbishop)
01:15:19linuxstb_Moving should only be needed before each rebuffering session.
01:15:54stripwaxI guessm, if the buffer is mostly empty you could have the problem that the buffer gets actually empty while you're rebuffering, if you can't take advantage of space freed up while rebuffering.

01:19:42 Join hcs [0] (n=agashlin@rockbox/contributor/hcs)
01:20:07linuxstb_It depends on the codec, but most of them decode in-place. Or at least, perform their internal bitstream reading directly from the audio buffer.
01:21:00linuxstb_i.e. they use the ci->request_buffer() and ci->advance_pointer() API.

01:22:54linuxstb_That's not done very efficiently - there's lots of memmoving going on.
01:24:11jhMikeSnot like there use to be. only when the buffer is too empty
01:24:26mbishopI just installed rockbox on my sansa e260, it's very nice :)
01:25:14linuxstb_jhMikeS: Yes, but it's still more than is needed with the current ci->request_buffer API.

01:26:06jhMikeSif you split a syncword the decoder will choke
01:26:45linuxstb_Yes...
01:27:20linuxstb_I'm not saying mpegplayer could do anything different (because of the way the mpeg frames are split), but the same issue doesn't happen with normal audio files.
01:28:20jhMikeSif a metadata block is smack in the middle of an mpeg audio frame it's not any different and the frame must be copied and assembled in another buffer then
01:30:53linuxstb_Yes, that's what the current guard buffer mechanism (to handle the wraparound point) does.

03:35:44iambeni dont know a whole lot about gcc outside of x86... i've got a build env set up that i've been using to build for arm9, dont know if that'd work just the same for arm7 (sansa) or not
03:36:37TiMiD[FD]probably not then
03:37:05dandin1I think it would. When you built gcc and binutils you simply specify "arm-elf", right?
03:37:48TiMiD[FD]depends
03:37:52iambenwouldn't know, i used a build script to set that up too
03:38:06TiMiD[FD]my 68k cross compiled environment didn't worked for iriver
03:38:19TiMiD[FD]it didn't built the coldfire specific libraries
03:38:41TiMiD[FD]so when I booted rockbox compiled with that gcc, it crashed
03:38:51dandin1Well, we could compare the instructions to setup the build environement on the wiki and see if there's any difference.
03:40:13TiMiD[FD]for me I had to build the compiler
03:40:32TiMiD[FD]the previous one I had didn't wored, even if it was for the same arch
03:40:50TiMiD[FD]but it's still worth trying
03:41:11dandin1I think it'd work even if it's arm9 and arm7. It's the same gcc build options for both of them.
03:42:47TiMiD[FD]maybe the gp2x environment removed the arm7 libraries ...

05:32:24iambenfirst sign of problems though, is that sysfont.h is not created like its supposed to... i can run that command myself to get around it, but maybe its a sign of a deeper problem?
05:32:52safetydaniamben, I'd suggest grabbing the source from svn if you can. The source tarballs aren't guaranteed to work.
05:32:58iambenits not trying to write anywhere funny outside this build dir is it? im doing this as my normal user
05:33:18safetydanThe build should only make things in your build directory.

07:41:48TiMiD[FD]amiconn: just my curiosity, but would it be technically possible to make the grayscale lib work on the remotes at the same time as on the main unit ?
07:42:37amiconnnope
07:43:00TiMiD[FD]ok
07:43:10TiMiD[FD]I suppose the timings are incompatible
07:43:19amiconnIt might be possible to make a grayscale lib for the remote, but you could only use either the main or the remote, not both
07:43:43amiconnThis is because the grayscale lib needs a timer, and there's only one user timer on coldfire
07:44:09TiMiD[FD]if the screens were physically the same, it would be possible then ?
07:44:17amiconnAnd for the iaudio remote, there's too much data to move in greyscale mode
07:44:55amiconnIt might be possible for them when switching the lcd controller to mono mode while the grayscale lib is running, but then it's an all-or-nothing situation
07:44:58TiMiD[FD]I see
07:45:41amiconnThe standard grayscale lib allows to use the grayscale overlay on a part of the screen, with standard output around it
07:45:42 Quit EbErT ()
07:46:06TiMiD[FD]I was actually reading the code of the grayscale lib, that's why I wondered
07:46:27TiMiD[FD]even if I don't see a lot of applications to use grayscale on the remote ...
07:49:04 Quit paugh ("Leaving")
07:49:22 Quit midkay (Read error: 110 (Connection timed out))
07:52:08amiconnEven if the timer could be shared between 2 running grayscale libs (letting it run with a cycle that equals the greatest common denominator of the two LCD's frame frequencies and then only refresh every n resp. m cycles) there would be the problem that the frame transfer for one lcd might delay the other
07:52:39amiconnEspecially since the remote transfer takes quite a while (serial transfer)

07:54:10amiconnAnd it would require to disable ticking reduction (temporarily). I'd be curious how that sounds on H1x0s with a loud ticking problem...

07:56:27 Nick midkay_ is now known as midkay (n=midkay@70-58-88-219.tukw.qwest.net)
07:57:29amiconnOr better "zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz" in english
07:59:45TiMiD[FD]if we had color remotes it would be perfect though :)
08:00
08:00:18amiconnNo, it wouldn't
08:00:24TiMiD[FD]I wonder if there are daps with color remotes ...
08:00:26amiconnThere's a reason why there are no colour remotes
08:00:35TiMiD[FD]ah ?
08:00:42amiconnThe data transfer would take way too long over a serial link
08:00:45TiMiD[FD]bandwith for transfer ?
08:00:59amiconnAnd parallel links need too many wires
08:01:04TiMiD[FD]even with a faster link ?
08:01:21amiconnWell, they could use a high-speed serial link, but that would require separate chips
08:01:43amiconnAnd the shielding is another problem
08:01:53TiMiD[FD]so we're not gonna see color remotes before a long time I guess ...
08:02:13amiconnSee how some irivers already suffer from the ticking problem. Higher frequencies would make it worse...
08:02:17TiMiD[FD]would be feasible but very expensive right
08:03:15TiMiD[FD]eventually transfering the audio data digitally would avoid shielding :p
08:03:21amiconnEven at the same resolution, a colour remote for the iriver would need 16 times the data as the mono remote
08:03:55amiconnYes, but then you'd need a secondary dac in the remote. Also not necessarily cheap
08:04:26TiMiD[FD]so 17fps
08:04:30TiMiD[FD]according to this page
08:04:32TiMiD[FD]http://www.rockbox.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/LcdFrameRate
08:05:13amiconn17fps make the ui appear really sluggish
08:05:38TiMiD[FD]never tried ...
08:05:38amiconnYou need at least ~40fps for acceptable performance
08:06:03TiMiD[FD]so they would need roughtly a 3 times higher bandwith
08:07:48TiMiD[FD]would be fun to have a dap with 3 screens
08:08:40scorchewhy?...i rarely look at the one screen..
08:08:45*amiconn wonders what that should be good for
08:09:11TiMiD[FD]because screen api is for 1...n screens :)
08:09:31TiMiD[FD]so rockbox could run on it without changes
08:10:50TiMiD[FD]hey do you have any idea of what could cause a key to behave as another?
08:11:59TiMiD[FD]since maybe 4 month my iriver's remote volume up key behaves like the remote page down key (or directory skip) roughtly one press on 10
08:12:09TiMiD[FD]I wonder if it's hardware related
08:12:28pondlifeTiMiD[FD]: Does it do this in the OF too?
08:13:08TiMiD[FD]the few times I booted into OF I didn't noticed it, but I'm not sure
08:13:17TiMiD[FD]I will try using OF this evening
08:13:55TiMiD[FD]but if it was hardware related I wonder what could be the culpirit ...
08:14:26TiMiD[FD]some resistor that went crazy ?

11:09:05linuxstbJdGordon: If you don't move the metadata, you need to deal with the current track's metadata floating around in the middle of the empty part of the buffer. If you do move it, then it is always contiguous with the current track's data, and you don't have the complication of dealing with a fragmented buffer.
11:11:32linuxstbGodEater: The checksums are initiialised with the model number from the bootloader. So for example, the mini 1st gen is model number 9, and the 2nd gen is model 11. Hence the difference of 2 in the resulting checksums. So a small difference in the checksum almost always implies the user has downloaded the wrong build.
11:12:09GodEaterlinuxstb: I also noticed he got a bad checksum error right at the top of those messages from the bootloader - is that the same issue ?
11:13:28linuxstbyes.
11:14:00 Quit FOAD (Read error: 110 (Connection timed out))
11:14:06GodEaterso his issue now is "get it into disk mode" and then "put the right build on" ;)
11:14:37linuxstbAlthough I don't think that's an accurate copy of the error messages - the bad checksum line should be further down.
11:14:57GodEaterI did wonder about that - I've never seen that message appear there
11:15:33linuxstbAh, the text has wrapped back to the top of the screen...
11:16:25linuxstbSo those top four lines actually come after the "Can't load rockbox.ipod" line.
11:17:13GodEaterah ha
11:17:31*GodEater is clearly too used to the enormous screen real estate offered on the video
11:19:24scorcheanyone else need any cloak changes while i am at it?
11:19:30scorchenew devs/etc?
11:19:44*obo raises his hand
11:19:50JdGordonlinuxstb: my idea to handle the fragment problem is to use the current linked list so when we have the problem where the data for one track is in the middle of 2 empty bits, the next track is read into the first bit, then jumps to the bit behind the block, it would all be handled by the same id so it would be transparent to everything but buffering
11:21:21scorcheany others? (speaking for other new devs is alright as well
11:21:23scorche)
11:22:22linuxstbJdGordon: Don't forget you will then also need to use a guard buffer to enable the codecs to read the data in contiguous blocks of up to 32KB... It just seems more straightforward to move the metadata to me, but I'm not say your way won't work either.
11:22:28scorcheobo: done
11:23:19JdGordonhmm, yeah, forgot about that problem
11:23:23GodEatershould we put "Support DRM" on the NoDo page ?
11:23:49peturscorche: I think austriancoder hasn't got a cloak yet
11:23:59linuxstbJdGordon: With a fragmented buffer, there will also be more chance of a non-streaming file (one that needs a single contiguous buffer) not fitting, as the buffer will be split into up to 3 parts, rather than up to 2.
11:24:17scorchepetur: he is registered, so he cant be cloaked

11:25:16GodEaterany archos experts that know about recording care to take a look at this : http://forums.rockbox.org/index.php?topic=11662.0
11:25:29linuxstbGodEater: I never like to say never.... IMO the NODO is for things which are not technically possible, so for example the alternative filesystem support should be removed from the NODO now that Rockbox runs from flash on some devices (and some devices like ipods natively support non-FAT filesystems).
11:25:35peturhe's not here now, the nick here is just a ghost I think
11:26:17GodEaterlinuxstb: while I agree DRM is not *technically* impossible, I don't see how we can support it legally ?
11:26:39amiconnGodEater: That's not an archos specific question
11:26:43linuxstbGodEater: Maybe it's legal in some countries...
11:27:07oboscorche: thanks - does saratoga have one?? (trying to remember who else is new to the dev list)
11:27:20amiconnImho the nodo is also for stuff we don't support intentionally
11:27:24scorcheobo: he isnt on, so he cant be cloaked
11:27:31amiconnDRM is one such thing imo
11:28:12scorchepetur: alright...done =)
11:28:20linuxstbI guess I agree - stick DRM on the NODO...
11:29:03*petur answered the recording post
11:29:33amiconnAnd support for other filesystems is also such an intentional nodo - perhaps with the exception that we might want to support hfs on ipods
11:30:23linuxstbWell, if someone implemented ext2 support, I would probably use it...
11:30:26scorcheif anyone else remembers/needs a cloak, let me know (at any time)
11:30:38linuxstbBut it's not something I would want to spend time implementing myself.
11:31:28JdGordonwe need a filesystem plugin api!
11:31:41amiconnAdding support for additional filesystems is pure bloat imho as long as there is no real reason to (like hfs on macpods)
11:31:54amiconnfat(32) is supported by virtually all operating systems

13:27:41GodEaterscorche: you've been through their trash already I take it ? ;)
13:27:58linuxstbMoFF: The Apple firmware makes use of a completely undocumented video processing chip to perform the video decoding. Rockbox doesn't touch that chip and just uses the main CPU, which obviously is far less powerful.
13:28:01scorcheno, but i *could*
13:29:18MoFFthank you all for answering my question so well :D

15:02:55PaulJamI mean i don't like DRM either, but in my opinion the wiki should be more or less objektive and i think "DRM crippled" is a quite subjective term.
15:03:03linuxstbIsn't it just referring to the rights of the copyright holder, rather than the rights of the consumer?

15:05:35TiMiD[FD]linuxstb: for the readdir it seems that almost all the plugins are using it ...
15:06:02linuxstbTiMiD[FD]: Using the original readdir() you mean, rather than the dircache version?
15:06:35***Saving seen data "./dancer.seen"
15:06:53TiMiD[FD]seems so
15:07:10TiMiD[FD]the plugins call a rb->PREFIX(readdir)
15:07:27TiMiD[FD]which is initialized to a pointer to the non cached version
15:07:37GodEaterlinuxstb and I feel it should be using the cached version
15:07:40linuxstbYes, that's another complication - the protection in the sim.
15:08:10TiMiD[FD]should use readdir_cached instead anyway
15:09:58TiMiD[FD]readdir_cached is redefined to readdir on targets without dircache
15:10:00TiMiD[FD]so ...
15:10:50TiMiD[FD]actually in the plugin api both cached an non cached versions are present ...
15:11:10TiMiD[FD]doesn't makes sense
15:11:24peturpondlife: I observed that the last CD's I bought no longer contain the official CD logo. Philips once complained the protected cd's are not following the standard and should not carry the logo. The last disks did not contain CC however...
15:11:30TiMiD[FD]wouldn't be hard to fix

15:16:16GodEaterproperties.c ?
15:16:17peturaren't the structs different?
15:16:20TiMiD[FD]well all the api
15:16:31TiMiD[FD]it's wrapped
15:16:50linuxstbIMO, it would have been nicer to keep the POSIX API in apps/ and hide the fact that dircache versions are being used, rather than hide the POSIX API and use the dircache version...
15:17:00pondlifeIt's annoying that the app needs to specify the dircached API... why can't that be hidden lower down?
15:17:00peturtrue
15:17:03*GodEater agres
15:17:08TiMiD[FD]yep

15:46:14godzirraI've used rockbox a lot in the past and am getting ready to try it out on my sansa e280. If I decide I -don't- like it (unlikely, but still), can the rockbox boot loader be uninstaled?

16:20:09TiMiD[FD]some apps as well as lots of plugins doesn't use the dircache api
16:20:12*amiconn wants to stay away as far as possible from java (re the java discussion)
16:20:39amiconnAfaiu apps don't need to use dircache specifically. It is used automatically when enabled
16:20:42TiMiD[FD](they use readdir instead of readdir_cached for ex)
16:21:17TiMiD[FD]it's used when they call the api explicitely
16:21:33TiMiD[FD]if they call the old functions they don't use it
16:21:43TiMiD[FD]linuxstb noticed that
16:22:14TiMiD[FD]sounds more like a bug than something wanted in my opinion
16:23:15amiconnI have no idea. I though it was fully wrapped
16:23:27*amiconn wouldn't hesitate to drop dircache
16:24:04TiMiD[FD]it was also proposed that apps should use the posix api, eventually wrapped by dircache
16:24:19amiconnThey do...
16:24:22TiMiD[FD]instead of calling directly the dircache functions (a cosmetic change)
16:24:29TiMiD[FD]ah no
16:25:30TiMiD[FD]they call dircache functions
16:25:39TiMiD[FD]for mostof them
16:25:59*amiconn suggests to ask Slasheri
16:26:36TiMiD[FD]well I'm going to bed anyway
16:27:04amiconnIt might be that the 2 functions are due to the dircache api hiding the on-disk cache file
16:27:14TiMiD[FD]that would be something I could do tomorrow if I had approvement
16:27:18amiconn(only present with rockbox in flash on H1x0)
16:27:52TiMiD[FD]?
16:28:58amiconnWhen rockbox is flashed, rockbox has full control over what happens on disk. So it writes the dircache contents to a file on shutdown, and reloads dircache from that file on next boot (if disk is clean, i.e. no intermediate usb access)
16:28:58TiMiD[FD]it would be more logical to present the posix api to the apps
16:29:20amiconnSo readdir_cached() hides that file, but there must be a way to find it
16:29:21TiMiD[FD]yes I know that :)
16:29:42TiMiD[FD]but apps doesn't need to find it ...
16:29:48amiconnI would appreciate simplification here
16:30:16amiconnThis cache-on-disk still sounds fishy to me, and hence should go away _imho_
16:30:17TiMiD[FD]doesn't needs to be hidden too
16:30:48TiMiD[FD]if we don't store it on dsk where can we put it ?

16:33:23TiMiD[FD]anyway this is hidden in the dircache subsystem so ...
16:33:31TiMiD[FD]the question was
16:33:44amiconnAnyway, dircache still shows numerous odd effects, and it's about the first thing to disable for me if it doesn't behave...
16:34:02TiMiD[FD]to know wether apps have to access the dirs without using dircache in some cases
16:34:20amiconnAsk Slasheri....
16:34:23TiMiD[FD]yes
16:34:31TiMiD[FD]but he isn't here
16:35:03amiconnI don't know much about dircache interactions and implications, and I'm not interested enough in dircache to dig into it
16:35:18TiMiD[FD]it seems that people who are not aware of dircache program using the posix api, which makes sens
16:35:28TiMiD[FD]I understand that
16:36:11TiMiD[FD]the app layer would still be cleaner accessing dircache through the posix api
16:36:36TiMiD[FD]so if Slasheri could comment on that
16:36:46TiMiD[FD]anyway time to sleep
16:38:09SlasheriTiMiD[FD]: yes, the dircache should be wrapped directly over opendir and so on
16:38:17TiMiD[FD]ok
16:38:37Slasheriat beginning it wasn't stable enough to do that, but now it should be certainly possible
16:38:54TiMiD[FD]I"ll look into that later then
16:39:01Slasherisounds good :)
16:39:20linuxstbSlasheri: So all the apps/ code currently using readdir() should be using readdir_cached() ?
16:39:21TiMiD[FD]what about apps accessing dirs without dircache ?
16:39:23TiMiD[FD]mistakes ?
16:39:42*petur wonders if that would further avoid spinups in the recording screen
16:40:23Slasherilinuxstb: most likely, but firmware/ code could be different
16:40:42linuxstb"most likely" ? ;)
16:40:52TiMiD[FD]so we would have the uncached api renamed to readdir_uncached in fw
16:40:54Slasheriand of course dircache itself can't use it's own readdir function :)
16:41:08linuxstbI'm purely talking about the apps/ code.
16:41:11Slasherilinuxstb: i think so, but haven't checked to make sure of that :)

16:41:36Slasherilinuxstb: yeah, then i see no reason why it couldn't be wrapped directly to readdir
16:41:55linuxstbCurrently the plugin API exposes both readdir() and readdir_cached() (and related functions). It seems to be it should just expose readdir_cached() ?
16:42:06linuxstb(or the equivalent if they get renamed).
16:42:15Slasherilinuxstb: indeed, or just the readdir
16:42:33TiMiD[FD]doesn't sounds too heavy to change
16:42:35Slasheriand there could be some syscall if it _really_ would necessary to access the non-cached version directly

17:00:13Kasperlei need to look into why some themes i downloaded only set menu icons, fonts, colors, background image, but _not_ the wps

17:03:11LloreanKasperle: Usually this means they do try to set the wps, but there's bad context in the WPS so it fails.
17:05:56amiconnlinuxstb: Do you know whether the 1st gens are single platter or dual platter. Or did they even use both?
17:06:17XavierGramiconn: do you have an idea of what it takes to make the Ondio boot up automatically when someone plugs in the USB cable?
17:06:37***Saving seen data "./dancer.seen"
17:06:41Kasperledoes rockbox like spaces in wps file (and dir-)names? also, what about DOS-style CRLF in wps files? these are the first two things I noticed
17:07:26amiconndos line endings should be handled properly. Spaces in the path shouldn't matter

17:12:44low_lightamiconn: on the pp5020, 0x70000000 should be "PP50"?
17:13:28amiconnnope
17:13:35amiconnThis is wrong in the ipl wiki
17:14:52low_lightgood
17:15:20amiconnThe PP5020E(space) string is actually a single "little endian string", i.e. it starts at 0x70000004 and extends to 0x70000000
17:17:24low_lightyes, that's what I was getting
17:19:19linuxstbamiconn: I have no idea (about 1st/2nd gen disks)
17:20:22linuxstbamiconn: ipodpatcher will need updating to work with the 1st/2nd gens though - the firmware partition format is different. But the old ipod_fw install method should work in the meantime.
17:21:17amiconnI hope you could help with adapting ipodpatcher?
17:21:43linuxstbSure, even if I don't buy one, I can do it based on a disk image.
17:22:14amiconnWe'll need firewire detection for the 1st gen/2nd gen

17:22:36linuxstbIIUC, the 3rd gen is also missing any kind of disk mode detection as well.
17:22:46amiconnThe only thing I am uncertain about is whether we want a separate firewire screen or not
17:23:41linuxstbFor devices with only a firewire connection, we could give them a different logo. But yes, I'm not sure about devices with both types of connection.
17:24:00amiconnE.g. the minis
17:24:27amiconnI know how to detect firewire and firewire power on mini 1st gen, mini 2nd gen, and the video (power only)

19:03:25dionoeaSoul-Slayer: I think that it depends on the projects. Some projects don't use web interfaces a lot, so having other means of communication like commit emails or IRC messages help in keeping people up-to-date with what's happening. (plus you usually lurk on chans ... but don't reload the same webpage every 5 minute). But then that's only my pov.

19:12:02Soul-Slayerdionoea: All very true, but this chat is more for discussing undocumented features and how devs could get feature such and such working, having all the commits posted up here would be kinda needless spam in my opinion. Another channel devoted to it, perhaps, if someone was interested in taking the time to get a bot to parse it all properly. But the rockbox main page refreshes incredibly fast, if I want to know I can find out

19:13:35LloreanYeah, there's an RSS feed for SVN changes, and an RSS for tasks added to the tracker.

21:46:53nlstumu: have you seen this http://www.rockbox.org/tracker/task/5241 ?
21:49:41nlsjhMikeS: minor nitpick, didn't you break the plugin api back compatiblity for single core swcodec targets without bumping bersion number ?
21:49:43jhMikeSamiconn: MpegPlayer has cross-core mailboxes now (not the PP built-in ones yet). Try testing that.
21:50:20jhMikeSnls: it only should break the compatibility with test_codec which isn't standard. nothing else should notice.

22:14:25tucozi agree that the manual should be simple (hence the quick start chapter)
22:14:32amiconnI think it depends on the font. Nimbus 10 here
22:15:01tucozbut other than that, i think the manual should be a reference on what rockbox has to offer

22:15:04bluebrotherwell, I also don't agree 100%.
22:15:04 Quit jhMikeS (Connection reset by peer)
22:15:08amiconnAnother JdGordon bug :(
22:15:35bluebrotherIMO Rockbox is some highly technical thing, so we should be able assuming some basic knowledge by the user
22:15:49bluebrotherincluding that he read about what it exactly is ;-)
22:16:13tucozi especially don't find rockbox to be a highly complicated piece of software. it might have been in the past, but with the introduction of the main menu i find it quite intuitive and simple
22:16:44tucoz(with a wealth of complex options and configuration possibilities)
22:16:46bluebrotherwell, "highly complicated" also depends heavily on the technical background of the reader / user
22:17:06nlsamiconn: ah, nasty assumption that monthnames are 3 letters, but I am quite sure that we assumed that before too, maybe it just dropped the last char then... (german uses longer names than english...)

22:17:26tucozit does, but the main menu makes it quite intuitive, don't you think?
22:17:32bluebrotherbut it could be simpler. Like "browse wps" might be confusing, as users should always load complete themes
22:17:39amiconnAnd the _first_ char is missing, not the last
22:18:00tucozyes, it could. but to play a track is quite easy
22:18:10nlsamiconn: yes I noticed, will fix tomorrow, now sleep, gnight
22:18:19bluebrotherthe main menu adjust it more to the way other firmwares are doing it, i.e. it comes more to the way the user expects.

22:18:21tucozit might be the customization that is hard.
22:18:30tucozchange font, wps etc
22:18:57bluebrotheryes. But maybe we could think about shipping some standard configuration files, depending on the usage?
22:19:09bluebrotherrbutil could even install a basic config.cfg
22:19:19tucozi think we could/should
22:19:37bluebrotherlike give an installation option "install Ipod style configuration / Rockbox style"
22:20:10tucozor call it optimized configuration ;)
22:20:30bluebrotherthat default configurations could be put somewhere on the download server, so we not even need to add something to the builds.
22:20:37bluebrotherhmm, I'm starting to like that idea.
22:21:12tucozi like it as well. we can configure it to use a pretty theme, turn on some sensible defaults and so on
22:21:40bluebrotheryes. And I bet quite some Ipod users won't even bother looking at the settings ;-)
22:22:13tucozand i don't think such an option would be too hard to convince the core devs of as well, as it doesn't interfere with the core rockbox
22:22:22tucozi mean svn
22:22:57bluebrotheras we have cfg files for the runtime settings now −− I think rbutil could safely do such things.
22:22:57tucozbut still provides newbies with something that sounds like a BoS, but doesn't look like it
22:23:10bluebrotherwithout real objections ;-)

22:27:29bluebrotherbut I guess it isn't worth the work ...
22:27:39tucozto strip out plugins?
22:27:50bluebrotherno, plugins for rbutil.
22:27:55tucozaha
22:28:16Domonokyqt has a plugin system, but wx... i dont know.. :-)
22:28:18bluebrotherthat way people could implement an unsupported builds plugin
22:28:24tucozi think rbutil should be as simple as possible
22:28:27bluebrotherDomonoky: I'm already playing around with Qt ;-)
22:28:27tucozbluebrother, hehe
22:29:00Domonokyi also would like an rbutil in Qt.. but someone has to do the work :-)
22:29:04bluebrotherbut I haven't started with the network stuff. Wanted to do this today, but my tree crashed :(
22:29:37bluebrotherwell, atm it's mainly a programming exercise for me. Once I have the basic installation working (if I ever get that far) I'll release it somewhere
22:30:14bluebrotherand then we'll see if there is enough interest / support in switching toolkits.
22:30:15tucozthat would be fun, and a nice opportunity to learn some qt
22:30:27bluebrotherthat's what I'm doing it for
22:30:49bluebrotherlearning a programming language without an interesting project isn't half as productive

22:31:57ender`whee, my sister's ipod mini died again
22:32:00bluebrotherDomonoky: btw, I added a "Quick Start" page to rbutil. Is this worth to look into?
22:32:55Domonokybluebrother: it would be nice if you could try to get the basic functions of rbutil in Qt.. like downloading function, unzipping.. settings ..usw and a GUI, then we could slowly port the rbutil functionality

22:33:34bluebrotherbut I'm quite new to Qt / cpp so it takes some time.
22:33:53Domonokybluebrother: with Quick Start, you mean some help text to start ?
22:34:18bluebrotherno, some buttons for a first start: "Full install", "basic install", "update"
22:34:40bluebrotherso you don't have to install bootloader, build and fonts separately (but still can by using the installation tab)
22:34:58Domonokyah, jeah thats nice.. it would also be worth to rethink to ui, if you are rebuilding it :-)
22:35:50bluebrotherwell, I'm currently using designer to create the gui, so changing shouldn't be much work.
22:36:05bluebrother(and I need to admit that I start to like the concept of designer)
22:36:11tucozwhat version of qt are you developing in?
22:36:18bluebrotherqt 4.3
22:36:22tucozok
22:36:27Domonokythe momentary UI evolved with the features rbutil got, maybe there is a better way to arrange the UI..
22:37:18tucozthe current UI works, but it feels like it could follow ui standards a bit more
22:37:36bluebrotherin what way? More wizard-like?

23:11:06stripwaxDavide-NYC - so, how would unilink "in rockbox" work? you'd have to have a physical interface between the rockbox-enabled DAP and the sony headunit
23:11:29Davide-NYCwell I was thinking the remotes maybe?
23:11:41GodEaterlinuxstb: on the forum ?
23:11:46stripwaxok, so you still need to build that interface
23:11:47GodEaterI sent you one earlier
23:11:50stripwax^you would
23:12:01Davide-NYCOK, not the end of the world
23:12:03stripwaxipod remote support is not even in rockbox yet
23:12:33GodEaterat least I thought I did
23:12:36tumulinuxstb, is there anything particular to do to have make compile new codec sources?
23:12:43GodEaterif you haven't got it - I've no idea where it's gone

23:13:27Davide-NYCstripwax: I know, neither is the gigabeat port stuff. But there is always a beginning.
23:13:34linuxstbGodEater: Ah, private message ;)
23:13:47GodEatersorry yes
23:14:20linuxstbtumu: Did you create a .c file for your codec in apps/codecs/ ? I read the logs, and maybe your lib isn't being built because no target is depending on it.
23:14:41tumulinuxstb, i have not done that, only added the sources
23:14:48tumuis it dependent on that?
23:15:07tumuwon't try to compile the codec sources without root .c?
23:15:41linuxstbtumu: But my approach to porting codecs has always been to get it working as a standalone C program first, and working in the Rockbox way - i.e. no (or very limited) malloc, no floats, and processing data from a memory buffer rather than reading from dsk directly.
23:15:59Davide-NYCI'm going to drop a feature request on the tracker for this Unilink stuff.
23:16:22linuxstbtumu: Only after I've done that (which is far easier outside of Rockbox), would I try to integrate it.
23:16:28tumulinuxstb, well, if i only could get it to error out because of original sources
23:16:49tumuit is not recognizing it currently at all
23:17:04tumunot much sense in doing work on the sources if compiles don't do anything
23:17:11*amiconn notices that the H10 lcd is (somewhat) readable without backlight :)
23:17:18tumuthat is, not even giving errors :)
23:17:19stripwaxDavide-NYC - mm, isn't the feature a hardware one?
23:17:39stripwaxDAPs don't usually have a freeform-serial output/input
23:17:39Davide-NYCmaybe. I must be missing something
23:18:00Soul-Slayeramiconn: Only in broad daylight at the right angle :p
23:18:25amiconnFluorescent light only atm...
23:18:34Davide-NYCso some hardware has to be designed to convert the unilink data to the dap's remote codes for the corresponding functions?

23:20:09scorchehrm.... hcs seemes to be using it just fine a bit ago...
23:20:51tumumy problem is that the new sources are not getting compiled
23:21:03tumueven after adding supposedly all necessary changes
23:21:18stripwaxDavide-NYC - yep, and that's what gnunilink seems to be - the hardware
23:21:27tumuwhich are more than what the wiki page tells
23:21:33Lloreantumu: There's a GBS patch in the tracker, you could look at what it does.
23:21:47Lloreantumu: Also, will you be updating the wiki page then with the things you've discovered need to be added?
23:22:17tumuif i can get this working first :)
23:22:55linuxstbtumu: What have you added to apps/codecs/Makefile?
23:23:16*jhMikeS wonders why encoders aren't included in that wiki page. it's similar.
23:23:17tumumade a copy of existing codec entries
23:23:27tumuand edited accordingly
23:23:29saratogalinuxstb: I decoded a 20kbps WMA file with only a tiny bit of distortion
23:23:35saratogagetting close
23:23:44tumuonly thing i'm missing is the root stub for codec
23:23:53linuxstbsarataga: Bet they sound great :) But congratulations.

23:24:37linuxstbtumu: Yes, but did you add a line such as "$(OBJDIR)/mpa.elf : $(OBJDIR)/mpa.o $(BUILDDIR)/libmad.a $(OBJDIR)/codec_crt0.o" - i.e. one that specifies your library needs to be built.
23:24:52*jhMikeS just remembered adding encoders is way more complicated than decoders :P
23:25:12*linuxstb just greps the entire source for "flac" and does the same thing for any new codec
23:26:28tumulinuxstb, yes, i added such, made a copy of the spc codec ones
23:28:00linuxstbAnd added your codec .c file to apps/codecs/SOURCES ?
23:28:13linuxstbIf not, then it won't appear in the list of targets to build.
23:28:16tumui have not done that
23:28:20linuxstbAnd hence your lib won't be built.
23:28:22tumubecause i still don't have the stub .c
23:28:26tumuaha
23:28:32tumuso it is dependent on the stub .c
23:28:51linuxstbYes - look at the "all:" line in the Makefile, and work back from there.
23:29:16amiconn'make' is lazy, and only builds what's necessary for the explicit final output(s)
23:29:19linuxstbi.e. all: specifies $(ROCKS), which is simply the .c files listed in SOURCES, renamed from .c to .codec
23:29:34tumulinuxstb, can you update the wiki page about making codecs then? :)
23:29:51tumucould have saved some time knowing this
23:30:19scorchetumu: that /is/ in that page...

23:34:46Davide-NYCFor the core devs: Is there the potential for having serial IO (with or without hardware modification) on all rockboxable players?
23:35:04Davide-NYCIf not, which ones would be left out?
23:35:31bluebrotherDavide-NYC: h100 and h300 don't have a serial port exposed
23:35:44bluebrotherIpods have one, and afaik archos too.
23:35:44stripwaxbluebrother - but with a mod they could have..
23:35:51bluebrotherdon't know about other players.
23:36:02Soul-SlayerDo ANY players have one exposed o.0?
23:36:07bluebrotherindeed, you could mod it. But where to put the connector?
23:36:17bluebrotheryes, Ipods. Though the dock connector
23:36:24Soul-SlayerAh right
23:36:38Soul-SlayerWell I'm sure my gigabeat and H10 don't have one
23:36:39bluebrotherand afaik the archos uses a serial connection for their remote. Don't know which ones exactly though
23:36:45Soul-SlayerNot that I have a cradle for my H10 though
23:37:41Davide-NYCbluebrother: on the bottom plate?
23:38:01 Quit davina (Remote closed the connection)
23:38:02Davide-NYCmaybe between the reset and power plug?

23:39:59Davide-NYCreplace the mini usb with a mini usn a/b(five pins
23:39:59linuxstbCouldn't you use a USB serial adapter on the H300?

23:42:04stripwaxlinuxstb - would rockbox support that?
23:42:18Davide-NYCthere are five connectors on the mini usb plug currently. AFAIK only four are connected and used. does that extra pin help us or are we a pin short?
23:42:24XavierGr strange I tried to build the rtc build and it stopped with an error on libwma
23:42:43linuxstbstripwax: When Rockbox has USB support, yes...
23:42:45amiconnSoul-Slayer: A plain freeze would mean the H10 just stops responding and playing, but display content stays the same
23:43:11pixelmaXavierGr: when did you last reconfigure - had that too today with a sim
23:43:19amiconnAnd the latter isn't the case.
23:43:26XavierGrI just reconfigured
23:43:33XavierGrnow I am trying with make very clean
23:43:52amiconnReconfigure + make clean should work
23:43:52XavierGryup that did the trick
23:44:26XavierGrtime to see if the RTC mod works on my player
23:44:47*amiconn has a suspicion when these freezes happen
