00:50:00lxxhi all
00:50:06lxxi have ipod 80gb
00:50:14lxxi wan install rockbox
00:50:37krazykiti suggest reading the manual
00:50:40tohtorijepdo it man!!!
00:50:46krazykitit explains how to install it
00:50:57lxxbut i have 20gb on my ipod data files not mp3 it just 2 dvd`s
00:51:15tohtorijepand?
00:51:32lxxafter rockbox install files will be ok or the deleted?
00:52:02krazykitrockbox does not delete any files. it will, however, alter the bootloader
00:53:29lxxso after bootloader files can ve delted or all will be ok and i no need to worry?
00:53:55krazykitwhat files are you talking about?
00:54:32krazykitrockbox requires the modified bootloader and the actual software, found in .rockbox on the player
00:54:36*linuxstb would worry if his ipod contained the only copies of important files
00:56:57lxxit not copies
00:57:59lxxso how do you think i need copy this two dvd`s on my pc hard drive before intalling rockbox and bootloader?
00:58:47krazykitit wouldn't be a bad idea.
00:58:54linuxstbI would say it's very unlikely anything will go wrong, but no-one can give you a guarantee.
00:59:52HellDragontorched
01:00
01:02:58markunlxx: why do you want to install rockbox?
01:04:16lxxi hate copy files via itunes or other software i want copy mp3`s to my ipod like like on my SDcard
01:04:34markunsounds like a good reason :)
01:05:01linuxstbjhMikeS: I'm not quite sure I understand what you're saying in your email to the dev list... Do you think the proposal is useful?
01:05:10lxx+rockbox support FLAC
01:06:03linuxstblxx: If you have a basic level of computer skills then you shouldn't have any problems installing Rockbox. As others mentioned earlier, the manual describes the installation process.
01:07:23 Quit spiorf (Remote closed the connection)
01:07:49lxxi know but i read somwhere in manual i cant listen mp3`s what i copied via itunes after i intall rockbox its true?
01:08:15Soul-SlayerNo
01:08:30***Saving seen data "./dancer.seen"
01:08:31Soul-SlayerYou can use the database to listen to the music you have already copied on
01:08:40Soul-SlayerBut not the file browser (Efficiently anyway)
01:08:46markunlxx: do you remember where in the manual you read it?
01:08:50krazykitlxx, what you can't play are the files you bought from the itunes store
01:08:52linuxstblxx: The only itunes files you can't play are DRM-protected AAC files and Audible files.
01:09:10linuxstbkrazykit: Unless they're DRM-free...
01:09:21krazykitoh right, they did start that didn't they
01:10:46lxxother question rockbox support bookmarks in mp3 audiobooks?
01:12:45markunrockbox supports bookmarking if that's what you mean
01:13:18lxxyeah thats what i mean
01:13:55markundoes the ipod firmware support it?
01:14:39linuxstbI believe it does, but only in files identified as audiobooks (.m4b files IIRC).
01:15:00jhMikeSlinuxstb: I think so to have "experts" in certain areas of code, sure as well as someone to consult about possible bugs or side-effects when accepting FS patches. I was saying there it has seemed to occur anyway without actually declaring someone as an official maintainer.

04:25:27themeatHowdy everybody. I own an iRiver H10 20GB with today's version of rockbox just installed on it. I turned off the idle poweroff limit to rule out this occurrence. Anyway: when left to play sitting normally on the table top under no particular stress, not on hold, without my interference, the player simply freezes and will not respond until I press the reset button and power it back up. It has been doing this ever since around the June
04:25:27themeat20th release. Is there a way to fix that while using a more updated version? There was another bug in the June 20th release that was less annoying, but I still didn't want to deal with it.

04:36:31themeatThe 20th was the release which didn't have that problem.
04:36:59themeatI was gone for three and a half weeks, then I updated with the version of last Saturday which randomly froze.
04:36:59saratogawhat was the first one that did have a problem
04:37:46themeatThen I tried going backwards, and all of them froze up to the point I gave up which was around a few days after the 20th of June.

04:43:10themeatIs that on the version number preceded by an r?
04:47:41themeatI'm going to assume so...in which case it is r13681
04:49:02saratoga13681 is a change to the rockbox manual
04:49:31saratogaoh
04:49:55saratogayou mean 13682 doesn't work?
04:50:02themeatRight.
04:50:40themeatHas no one else had this problem?
04:50:59saratoganot that i know of
04:51:13saratogaits odd that you would have it, that change should impact all color targets
04:51:38saratogatheres nothing H10 specific about it
04:52:05saratogaone thing you could try is just updating your bootloader, since sometimes very old ones break on newer builds
04:52:09saratogathough thats a long shot
04:52:29themeatHmm...could it be a flaw in the device itself?
04:53:47saratogadoes the original firmware still work normally
04:54:04themeatI never even used it. As soon as this arrived I installed rockbox.

04:57:04webguest35Hi!
04:57:18webguest35I have a Toshiba Gigabeat F40
04:57:26webguest35..and I want to try Rockbox
04:58:47webguest35but before that I wanna know if I can make different partitions in its hard disk to install linux and still ROCKBOX functions properly
04:58:55webguest35anyone have an idea?
04:59:15webguest35Heloooo?
04:59:33krazykitwebguest35, chill
04:59:34Lloreanwebguest35: 1) Please read the channel guidelines
04:59:36themeatSo the original firmware seems to work perfectly fine...
04:59:43krazykitit takes a few moments for people to answer
04:59:43LloreanThey ask that you have patience.
04:59:53Llorean2) What do you mean "Install Linux" on your Gigabeat?
04:59:56themeatAlso, it is in colour.
05:00
05:00:03webguest35thanks! it seemed that no one was participating

05:00:46webguest35well, if can install a linux distribution in a partition on the hard disk, I guess its possible to use it as my portable OS to use in different macines
05:01:51LloreanIt should be possible as long as you don't destroy the FAT32 partition.
05:02:12saratogathemeat: i suppose you could ask JdGordon about that the next time hes on
05:02:16saratogaat least i have no idea
05:02:50webguest35Thanks Lorean, but my question is does the FAT32 partion NEED to be the first partition to RockBox to fucntion properly?
05:02:59 Quit idnar (Remote closed the connection)
05:03:09themeatHmmm. Okay. Thanks a lot for trying to help. Any particular times that JdGordon is habitually online?
05:03:29Lloreanwebguest35: It expects it to be installed to the first primary fat32 partition, if I understand correctly.
05:03:40webguest35Thanks saratoga, have u any idea on when can I find him or someone else with knowledge about this?
05:03:47saratogathemeat: i think hes in europe, so daytime there woudl be a good bet
05:03:53Lloreansaratoga: Australia
05:03:59webguest35Ouch!
05:04:04themeatDamn. No time is good for that.
05:04:10webguest35anothe question if anyone know

05:05:39webguest35I have tried many times (well like 3 times in 3 different days) to register to the forum, but the "register" button at the bottom of the page is inactive no matter what!
05:05:58webguest35and I checked in 2 browsers: Firefox + Opera
05:06:46webguest35Does anyone know if there is something special needs to be done to register at the forums?
05:06:54krazykitclick the button is all, really
05:07:11krazykitdo you have a 3rd party firewall? it might be interfering in the name of "security"
05:08:02webguest35Yes it is obvious that clicking the button should make but it does not works
05:08:04LloreanThe most recent forum registrant was 44 minutes ago, so it seems to still be working
05:08:34***Saving seen data "./dancer.seen"
05:08:54webguest35really? I guess that i have to deativate temporaly my firewall, but this is the first time it happens something like that to me
05:09:21Lloreanwebguest35: I believe the most likely cause is you not properly typing the security letters
05:09:56webguest35Are they case sensitive?
05:10:08LloreanI believe so
05:10:43webguest35Because is true that they're a little bit hard to identify so I used the Audio with the spoken letters
05:11:03webguest35but this doesn't say if they're upper or lower case
05:11:50webguest35I guess I'll have to try again later
05:12:58webguest35about the partitions on the Gigabeat, are u sure that if I partition the disk with the FAT32 partition 1st, it works?
05:13:10LloreanI haven't tried it personally.
05:13:13LloreanI told you what I know.
05:14:12webguest35another questions though!
05:15:09webguest35I use my gigabeat quite frequently as an additional Harddisk, so I have to connect frequently and for (perhaps) a long time to the USB port...
05:15:37webguest35... and each time I do this the battery recharges
05:16:19krazykityes, this is a feature.
05:16:39krazykitit's also in the original firmware
05:16:45webguest35the question is, can cause this any harm to the battery or make its life shorter in anyway (I mean having no complete discharges - complete recharges)?
05:17:04saratogaits a normal litium poly battery so normal rules apply
05:17:25saratogadeep discharges are bad, slowly wears down as it ages, etc
05:17:55webguest35Well, I guess I don't the normal rules, but if u can point in the right direction I could research by myself (in Wikipedia does'nt say anything about it)
05:18:14webguest35What are deep discharges?
05:18:39LloreanActually wikipedia used to have an extensive article on LiIon/LiPoly batteries I thought
05:19:25webguest35Yes, but all theoretical not practical stuff like what I need 2 know
05:20:35LloreanUm, if you aren't willing to trust "what it's supposed to do", then isn't the only solution to test it yourself?
05:21:54webguest35I didn't understood
05:22:06webguest35to test what?
05:22:56LloreanWhatever is in the article that you don't believe.
05:25:10webguest35You mean the part about the deep discharge caused by "when they are recharged so often that they can no longer hold a charge." (citing the article)?
05:26:29saratogawhat exactly are you asking
05:27:10webguest35But it also said this "Unlike Ni-Cd batteries, lithium-ion batteries should be charged early and often."
05:27:57webguest35My question can I still use connect as often as I want my Gigabeat to the PC without worries?
05:28:15saratogai don't see how it matters
05:28:25webguest35or is better to pass any files in use to the local hard disk and then disconnect the player?
05:29:35krazykityou're worried about HD failure? all you can do is have stuff backed up and not worry about it
05:30:06scorcheno he isnt...
05:30:16webguest35The escenery is that I conncet the player to the PC for say 3 hours, work on some files located at it hardisk (o play the audio files located within it), and when I leave I disconect the player to take it with me and later I do this 2 or 3 times more

05:31:06scorchewebguest35: what you want to avoid is completely draining the batteries and recharging them....that is where the "early and often" quote comes from
05:31:32webguest35thanks scorche I think u get my idea, the question is, doing this almost daily I'm I wearing down inadvertedly the battery?
05:32:17webguest35thanks scorche, so no problem with what I do in my daily scenery?
05:32:50webguest35no risk of 'over charcging' it?
05:33:10scorcheif you over charge a lithium ion, they tend to explode...
05:33:32scorchethat wont happen unless something is wrong with the battery or charging hardware
05:33:51saratogathis was all in the wikipedia entry
05:34:03scorcheindeed
05:35:17webguest35yes it was, but as I stated earlier it has to sentences that contradicted themselves, that's the reason of my confussion and my asking?
05:35:32scorchei dont see any sentences contradicting..
05:36:22webguest351: "when they are recharged so often that they can no longer hold a charge."
05:36:49webguest352: "Unlike Ni-Cd batteries, lithium-ion batteries should be charged early and often."
05:37:09scorchei dont see #1...
05:37:17krazykitthat isn't contradictive anyway
05:37:23webguest35yep, is there trust me
05:37:28krazykit"so often" is lots and lots and lots and LOTS of cycles
05:37:30scorchewhere?
05:37:35krazykitprobably longer than the life of your player, webguest35
05:37:43scorchegive a direct quote instead of paraphrasing please
05:38:01webguest35the quotes are direct quotes

05:40:45scorchei dont really care about it, to be honest...i just avoid discharging completely
05:40:46krazykitwebguest35, i'd stick my player into the fridge if you're that worried about it.
05:41:02krazykitwebguest35, but don't do that. condensation would be bad for the player.
05:41:14webguest35WOW!
05:41:14scorche..
05:42:28webguest35to the FRIDGE???
05:42:37scorcheyou dont need the caps..
05:42:52scorchebatteries last longer in colder temperatures
05:43:45scorcheone would think that if you are this worried about your battery life, you would have gotten a device that had easily replaceable batteries...
05:44:49saratogathis is a pretty ridiculous thing to worry about since you're going to need a new battery in a year or so anyway
05:45:03saratogamaybe sooner given how old most of the gigabeats are out there
05:45:06webguest35yes, in tha past I used 'normal' Flash-based MP3 players with AAA batteries, but I wanted to try RBox :) and a harddisk based player
05:45:55scorchethere are hard drive players that have easily replaced batteries

05:58:18webguest35to anyone who want to know and perhaps comment, this a good source of information that I just found: http://www.batteryuniversity.com/parttwo-34.htm
05:59:13krazykitwhich is linked from wikipedia
05:59:28krazykitthe first reference on the page, in fact.
06:00
06:00:06krazykitit pretty much repeats *what was already on wikipedia*
06:01:41XavierGrwebguest35: yes it is possible to install an OS on the ipod along with rockbox
06:01:57XavierGre.g my H140 has knoppix in it and rockbox along side
06:03:03webguest35andrewg867: Hi Xavier, thanks for the reference!
06:04:04XavierGrI think though that my OS partition is FAT16
06:04:05 Quit scorche (" rebooting...")
06:04:09webguest35How is your parition table?
06:04:22XavierGrlet me check
06:05:54XavierGrI have a primary active partition that is FAT16 and a non-active primary partion FAT32
06:06:11XavierGrno extended partitions
06:06:29XavierGrthe hard part was to make the OS partition bootable
06:06:42XavierGrbut rockbox didn't have a hard time to boot
06:07:44webguest35and Knoppix works fine with the FAT16?
06:08:15XavierGryes
06:08:22webguest35and the FAT32 partition for RBox is before or after the FAT16 partition?
06:08:34XavierGrin fact the OS on USB utilities required that the partition is FAT16
06:08:49XavierGrafter the fat16
06:09:23webguest35and (soory for the quantity of quesionts) how did you managed to make it bootable?
06:09:44 Quit saratoga ("CGI:IRC (Ping timeout)")
06:09:54XavierGryou have to run some tools on it
06:10:12XavierGrbetter search google for bootable usb sticks, or linux on USB etc
06:10:17webguest35so is like a /dev/sda1 with FAT16 and a /dev/sda2 with FAT32?
06:10:32XavierGryes the difference is that sda1 is active too
06:10:40XavierGrwhile sda2 is non-active
06:10:52XavierGrrockbox will just search for the first fat32 partition
06:11:08XavierGrthough I think that it will not manage too boot on an extended partition table
06:11:13webguest35OK, I understand, any chance to be able to use it ext3 in the linux partition?
06:11:16XavierGrbut I am not sure
06:11:35webguest35and (almost forgot) what abour a Swap partition?
06:11:44XavierGryeah maybe, it is just that all the tools I've encountered for bootable usb deviced needed a FAT16 partition
06:11:54webguest35Wow, so Rbox is samrt enough, I like it!!!
06:11:59XavierGrthere is no swap partition on my installation
06:12:19 Quit lymeca (Read error: 110 (Connection timed out))
06:13:08webguest35no, but u can use 4 partitions all physical with no extended one!
06:13:19XavierGrI guess
06:13:20webguest35at most 4
06:13:29XavierGras I said I haven't tried with more partitions
06:13:52webguest35so I guess is possible 2 create another partition for Swap, what do u think?
06:14:07XavierGryeah I think there won't be a problem
06:14:11XavierGryou will just have to try
06:14:39XavierGrI did that 2 years ago, so I don't really remember the process
06:14:49XavierGrbut I remember that I failed a couple of times
06:15:00XavierGrI couldn't get linux to boot most of the time
06:15:29XavierGrwell I hope that you have a pc that can boot from USB devices else you can't test it

07:09:47kkurbjunJdGordon, I have a question on menus
07:09:57JdGordonshoiot
07:09:59jhMikeSJdGordon: hey. mind testing an ata-e200 update? it stops the card init on every card switch and addresses good yielding and improves timeout behavior. it's been working nicely here for some hours.
07:10:19JdGordonjhMikeS: yeah sure, but my tree is borked atm, so can you send me the .mi4?
07:10:26kkurbjunis there an equivalent for struct opt_items for plugins with the new menu api
07:10:27jhMikeSnp
07:10:57kkurbjunit looks like MENUITEM_SETTING is, but it indicatess that the settings have to be in the core
07:11:15 Join chrisjs169 [0] (n=ubuntu@unaffiliated/chrisjs169)
07:12:56kkurbjunalso when calling MAKE_MENU, if you include other MAKE_MENU variables does it call do_menu when they are selected, or are the other menu's just added to the displayed list?
07:14:04JdGordonkkurbjun: no, there isnt an equiv for plugins, that needs to be done... and do_menu() is "automatically called" for submenus
07:14:24kkurbjunhmm
07:14:26JdGordoni put it like that because it actually just stays in the do_menu() call and uses a stack to remember where it was
07:14:54kkurbjunok, the submenu thing was what I was hoping for
07:15:25kkurbjunI can probably work around the missing opt_item equivalent, I just wanted to try and make it as clean as possible

07:21:50JdGordonjhMikeS: will this stop the painicing i get almost every time i swap cards?
07:22:46jhMikeSmaybe
07:22:54jhMikeSI thought that stopped
07:23:03JdGordonany particular ay you want it tested?
07:23:13JdGordonna, it seems to have got more frequent recently for some reason
07:23:17jhMikeSbecause your card acts different
07:23:23*JdGordon suspects my really dodgey cheap cards
07:24:12jhMikeSif it doesn't bother OF I really can't see that it should bother rb :\
07:25:04JdGordonyeah, if only :p
07:25:25jhMikeSI was getting panics under certain conditions but that was due to the yielding which it now compensates for
07:26:11JdGordonok, ill let you know fi i get any panics
07:26:39JdGordonoh, you said the way I did backlight fading was bad... without a dedicated backlight thread any other ideas how to do it?
07:26:51jhMikeSdon't we have one?
07:27:08jhMikeS:)
07:27:34JdGordonmodifieing that would then create a 3rd way of doing fading in rockbox!
07:27:38jhMikeSmmmm....yes...actually now that you mention it
07:27:59*JdGordon doesnt like how the backlight is currnelty handled

07:37:00jhMikeSthere's a thread to do scrollers on remote and another for the main lcd but even though the speeds can be different for each display, it should be possible to have one thread do it.

07:44:46jhMikeSwhat about swapping the card a bunch of times?
07:44:52JdGordonbah, got a crash
07:45:11jhMikeSwhat sort?
07:45:14JdGordon... trying to go from wps->browser after i swapeed cards so the path didnt exsist anymore
07:45:46*JdGordon resets and procedes to break the chip locking mechnism
07:46:34JdGordonseems more reliable now
07:46:35jhMikeSI can do that one without a crash.
07:46:55jhMikeSIt just goes back up to the root
07:50:48JdGordonhmm... possible crash/panic
07:50:52JdGordonscreen is off though
07:51:04JdGordondefinalty did one of them
07:51:19JdGordonspamming hotswap in the disk debug screen
07:53:41jhMikeShmmmm...I can cause #5 by doing slow inserts and stuff. frankly I'm not sure about the whole panic thing. I really think errors returns are the way to go.
07:57:08JdGordonanything to stop the panics... they are such a PITA
07:57:16jhMikeSno big deal really. it can mux the cards without crashing and not reinitializing them. I think I know what's up with that.
07:57:26JdGordonunless we can get system_reboot() working so we dont have to hold down power for 25min
07:58:23jhMikeSI think now it still sees the card as initialized even though it has been removed because the ata thread hasn't seen gotten the message yet.

11:58:31pondlifeIt's not the easiest thing to to think about - will probably be easier to get a working version then iron out the allocation/defrag algorithms.
11:58:56Nico_Pwell the current SVN code works pretty well

12:01:47GodEater_shouldn't the buffering api hide that fact ?
12:02:08pondlifeYes, as long as nobody holds onto data pointers and assumes they will always be valid.
12:03:22GodEater_hmm - yes I see what you mean - you can ask the buffering api for a pointer - but nothing forces you to check back with the API later to make sure it's still there
12:04:53pondlifeIn fact it's only valid until a bufseek or bufadvance occurs on that handle (I think that's the current criteria).
12:05:09pondlifeThat may well change, of course...

12:15:57GodEater_pondlife: there were people who told Bagder their sizes though
12:16:11GodEater_so there won't be much point fighting over a selection of t-shirts that won't fit you
12:16:28linuxstbI'm not sure what I claimed I was...
12:16:39GodEater_well there's one large, and two mediums
12:16:48linuxstbI guess I'm a medium then.
12:16:53pondlifeAnd I'm not a large..
12:16:55GodEater_I've grabbed the XL already
12:17:29pondlifeWell, if I don't get a shirt, no worries - I'll hopefully make it to DevCon2008.
12:17:29linuxstbAre there mugs as well?
12:17:33GodEater_yep
12:17:41pondlifeWhat size mugs? :)
12:17:45GodEater_um
12:17:46linuxstbI'm not that bothered about a T-shirt either, but I like mugs...
12:17:49GodEater_mug sized ;)
12:17:51pondlifeI'm a small shirt but a big mug
12:18:11pondlifeBig enough for dunking is all that matters.
12:18:22GodEater_they're quite narrow
12:18:23GodEater_but tall
12:18:38GodEater_so long as you eat bourbons you'll be fine
12:18:40pondlifeHmm, might need to use Ginger Nuts, rather than Chocolate Digestives.
12:18:42GodEater_I wouldn't try a digestive
12:18:56GodEater_ginger nuts would probably go too
12:19:10pondlifeMight get wedged, resulting in seepage and breakup.
12:19:15GodEater_nothing worse
12:19:21GodEater_well, there is

12:19:43linuxstbBTW, have we agreed on a venue and time?

12:20:02pondlifeTime?
12:20:09GodEater_anytime after 6 :)
12:20:11linuxstbAnd hopefully same table...
12:20:18pondlifeOK, I'll be 7-ish I expect
12:20:20GodEater_I'll throw people off it if necessary

12:22:34pondlifeAbout 8 years ago I did a birthday all day pub crawl.. we managed 22 pubs plus 1 curry house from 11-to-11.
12:22:45pondlifeI *never* want to repeat that experience.

12:23:43scorchealright..just making sure...i keep forgetting to mail bagder about my 2 extra shirts

12:33:10pondlifeBeing a maintainer doesn't compell you to work on stuff, does it?
12:33:16linuxstbI can't see how it can work informally - IMO you need to know which bits are currently in need of a maintainer. So the list is for people to say "I'm willing to actively maintain this bit of Rockbox".
12:33:33linuxstbpondlife: That's the point...
12:33:41JdGordonit doesnt?
12:33:56JdGordonthen why would you be the maintainer of the section?
12:34:09pondlifeI wouldn't, then.
12:34:23scorchei think he meant that the point was for them to be compelled to work on stuff...
12:34:24pondlifeCan't offer enough time to stay on top of it.
12:34:27JdGordonyou... anyone i mean
12:34:28linuxstbBut obviously the reverse isn't true - you don't have to name yourself as maintainer in order to work on something.
12:34:41pondlifeObviously!
12:34:57pondlifeI like the idea "Rockbox is fun" over any other.
12:35:13JdGordonI would like to be able to assign patches/bugs to people on FS with the hope they either commit/fix it or pass it on to someone else though
12:35:41 Join safetydan [0] (n=dan@rockbox/developer/safetydan)
12:35:57linuxstbI think it all depends if enough people commit themselves to maintaining things. If no-one wants to do that, then it's not really a worthwhile idea.
12:36:59pondlifeYes, and it could be unfair and even put people off if not handled carefully.
12:37:04safetydanWhat would it mean to maintain something like a codec? Just keep it in sync with upstream?
12:37:34linuxstbsafetydan: Yes, just keep it working and investigate any reported bugs.
12:37:46linuxstbSo for most codecs, it would be almost no work.

12:45:54Nico_Ptha im isn't to force the maintainers to work on their area
12:46:01Nico_P*the aim
12:46:14pondlifeNo, but I was concerned that others might think it was that.
12:46:40Nico_Pthe advantage is that it will clearly highlight which part of rockbox lack maintaining

12:50:32pondlifeYes, and those playback bugs aren't easy ones either!
12:50:55JdGordonat least they can all be closed as out of date when the new buffering goes in....

13:20:23JdGordonadding the filename to the splash is much simpler code than adding a infinite scroll bar thing
13:21:09*amiconn thinks that it's unnecessary to add anything to the splashes
13:21:35JdGordonit is, but there really is no way to know if its crashed, or guess how much is left to copy
13:21:49amiconnIf you want to be sure that it didn't crash, rather work on stability so it doesn't crash
13:21:50JdGordonthe filename would fix that
13:22:37amiconnThe filename wouldn't tell you how much is left to copy
13:22:52JdGordonhttp://www.pastebin.ca/630654 is my massivly bloated patch....
13:23:04Nico_PJdGordon: he uses unrealistic values for N (the number of cond cases): 80, 75... who uses that much cond cases in a WPS ?
13:23:08JdGordonno, but it would give you a guess as to where in the list of files to copy/move its up to
13:23:20amiconnhow?

16:18:31Siltaarelse linuxstb, I have an "installation" pb... My talking sudoku needs some files to work (animals sounds...). I have free sounds, and currently I install them into .rockbox/rocks/sudoku in order to have it clean
16:18:51Siltaarso.. I wonder how to make the installation process automatic
16:20:46linuxstbYou should probably distribute them separately as a zip file, with the zip file containing the .rockbox/rockbox/sudoku/ directory structure.
16:20:59amiconnTalking sudoku would be a great chance to take voice to the next level and implement a long-standing idea related to langv2
16:22:20amiconnA segmented voice file with one segment per "client" (first client being the core, talking plugins as subsequent clients)
16:23:22amiconnA talking plugin would swap in the necessary at startup, i.e. when the disk is still spinning. No further spinups while the plugin is running (on hdd targets)
16:23:37amiconn*The necessary segment...

16:30:00SiltaarI did developpe an alternative view for the sudoku adapted to small screens, but it put high the number of images to handle to 4 for each target... I have small numbers, bigs numbers, small animals heads and big animal heads...

16:33:23Febs:)
16:33:30GodEaterI was expressing surprise at how bad gmail turns out to be at showing that - I've thought of Gmail as a pretty accomplished email client for a while now
16:33:46GodEaterclearly it's not very good at list traffic
16:33:57linuxstbGodEater: Maybe gmail is just being really good at threading - somehow it knew it wasn't a genuine follow-up...
16:34:22GodEaterlinuxstb: you could argue that ;)
16:34:32GodEaterI believe it does all it's threading based on Subject though
16:34:34GodEaterwhich is not ideal
16:36:26linuxstbSiltaar: The general approach in Rockbox is to do things at compile-time where possible, and not runtime. Hence the preference for simple bitmapped fonts and graphics.

17:32:37thomasgshort question: I'm charging my X5 via power-cable at moment. pressing "on" shortly turns the backlight on/off, pressing it long boots the iAudio-firmware. is there a possibility to boot rockbox while charging?

17:32:54linuxstb[[bam]]: Sourceforge accepts projects with many different open source licenses, not just GPL.
17:33:02PaulJamlinuxstb: but wouldn't converting to .fnt be against their license? (No Modifications.)
17:33:47linuxstbPaulJam: It would depend on the exact text of the license - i.e. if they allow conversion to a different format.
17:34:14linuxstbBut IIUC, if the license doesn't grant you a particular right, then you don't have it...
17:38:27Nico_Plinuxstb: I don't really understand the "license controversy" part in http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liberation_fonts
17:39:01Nico_Pdoes it mean we couldn't add this font to the RB distrib archives ?
17:39:01[[bam]]hmm.. en.wikipedia.org won't open here. strange.
17:39:55Nico_P[[bam]]: http://www.press.redhat.com/2007/05/09/liberation-fonts/
17:40:14[[bam]]btw, sazanami mincho, sazanami gothic's twin sister, IS included in rockbox-fonts package.
17:40:51linuxstbNico_P: My understanding is that fonts are simply data used by Rockbox, rather than software libraries linked to Rockbox - so fonts can be under any license.
17:41:14linuxstb(assuming we have a right to redistribute those fonts in bdf format)
17:41:29linuxstb(or .fnt..)
17:42:15pixelmathomasg: have you tried holding "rec" while inserting the charger? It /seems/ to work here with my M5 - at least it shows "charger connected" in the statusbar and I can continue to use Rockbox but I'm not sure whether it works the same on X5 with charging through the subpack but it should (works similar on other targets as well)
17:43:30thomasgwell, if rockbox is running and I plug the cradle in it works (means rockbox stays running). but not if the player is turned off
17:46:10[[bam]]nice. we CAN redist them.
17:47:56GodEaterif I understand correctly, the read_line() function takes lines straight off the disk - is this correct ?
17:48:20[[bam]]btw, Nico_P, linuxstb, PaulJam, (and any others who don't know), me & markun were discussing about UNICODE free fonts.
17:48:39linuxstbGodEater: Yes - you can read the function for yourself in apps/misc.c
17:49:02GodEaterthis seems inefficient to me - wouldn't it be better to read the whole file at once to avoid disk spinups ?
17:49:29linuxstbThe disk shouldn't spin-down - there's a timeout of a few seconds.
17:49:50linuxstbBut if you know your file is small, then yes, you could read it all at once into a memory buffer, then parse it.
17:49:58GodEaterbut for a small file wouldn't it be better to just read the whole thing in one go, close the fd, and then do the splitting in memory
17:50:02GodEaterhehe
17:50:03GodEaterjinx
17:50:05linuxstbYes. ;)
17:50:18GodEaterright - I shall ignore read_line then
17:50:20GodEater:)
17:50:23linuxstbAlso, you have more memory to spare in a plugin - you wouldn't want to do that in the core code.
17:50:34GodEaterpossibly so =/
17:50:45linuxstbBut remember Archos devices only have 32KB for plugins.
17:50:53*GodEater 's file that he is reading is a maximum of MAX_PATH * 10 in size
17:51:05GodEaterthat'll still fit easily in 32kb
17:51:13linuxstbThen just declare a static buffer in your .c file with that size.
17:51:13pixelmathomasg: don't know if that's possible then...
17:51:21GodEaterlinuxstb: I did
17:51:36linuxstbGodEater: Then why are you asking me ;)
17:51:51GodEaterbecause I want to make sure I'm not missing something obvious
17:52:14GodEaterif you say I'm not then I'm a happy person

18:41:57linuxstbSo a recent commit to the core increased the main stack usage, and broke mpegplayer... I think it only affects Coldfire targets.

18:43:27thomasgI also tried to load the h10of.wps manually, but this doesnt work, too
18:43:28pixelmaNico_P: I'm not sure... it's desired that it should be as perfect as possible (because it breaks all the lang files and voice...) so it should be tested well before a commit

19:24:06bluebrotherhow about having a wiki page that lists the languages of devs? So before committing you could ask someone with that native language for checking
19:24:16Domonoky"Aufnahmepfad zurücksetzten" would be better..

20:00:17n1slinuxstb: if you look at the patch and what is added to apps/Makefile (parsing of the features.txt file and passing it to genlang as a list of features) the same needs to be done in buildzip.pl when building the .lng files.

20:02:08n1sfor example every target that defines HAVE_RECORDING will have the "recording" feature and will thus include all the recording related strings
20:02:49n1slinuxstb: no, it's part of the patch, I added it to FILES when updating it a while ago
20:02:51Nico_Plinuxstb: no, it's not
20:03:09linuxstbSo it shouldn't be in FILES yet?

20:04:50beefsaladI have an archos jukebox studio 20 running rockbox v2.5, the way I have my mp3s layed out on the filesystem is Artist/Album/Song.mp3, is there a way to make rockbox randomly move between the Artist and Album directories, or am I going to have to drop all of the files down a directory to do that?
20:05:47n1sbeefsalad: you can make it advance to a random folder but you need to update to a more recent version
20:06:45n1sNico_P: did you sort the newly added strings when you did your sync?
20:07:03Nico_Pn1s: no
20:08:18linuxstbn1s: It looks straightforward to do. The Makefile generates $(OBJDIR)/features which the the processed version of apps/features.txt. So buildzip just needs to read that file, and the Makefile adapted. I'll have a quick look now - will you be around for the next 20 minutes or so?
20:08:21beefsaladn1s: n1s gracias
20:08:57n1slinuxstb: i hope so, will read the logs tomorrow if I can't
20:10:27linuxstbn1s: What does buildzip.pl need to do based on features.txt?
20:11:02linuxstbAh, buildzip.pl calls genlang, so that call to genlang needs the features?
20:11:36n1slinuxstb: yes, it needs the same list of features that the Makefile sends to genlang

20:14:49linuxstbn1s: OK, it looks like buildzip.pl takes a -t parameter, and then just passes that parameter onto genlang. So buildzip itself doesn't need modifying, we just need to change the Makefile to pass the features as part of the -t option to buildzip.
20:15:40n1slinuxstb: ah, yes that seems like a better solution :-)

22:09:10Domonokythe problem with the paths for rbutil.ini and other things, is that they are different depending on the os..
22:09:59bluebrotherhmm. It should read rbutil.ini from the folder you ran the binary.
22:10:48Domonokyon windows and macosX thats correct.. but on linux, there is a configuration dir..
22:11:13bluebrotherah, you mean the system wide configuration? Yeah, that's in ~/.config
22:11:16Domonokyso rbutilWx checks different locations for the ini file.
22:12:10bluebrotherok, first patch is out. rbutil.ini should now always be in the binary folder.
22:12:13Domonokyalso the path for temporäry things should be different on different plattforms.

22:18:06amiconnaha
22:18:23bluebrotherbut for a portable installation it also looks in that folder (and will prefer that if one is present)
22:18:46bluebrotherin Qt you can simply create a QSettings object and Qt will put it in the standard location depending on the OS
22:18:59*amiconn hates programs which don't obey the system rules on windows
22:19:32amiconnA program that can't be run as non-admin without tricks is a bad program imo
22:19:40bluebrotherwell, I do so too. But IMO the system configuration (which only changes with new program versions) should be ok there.
22:20:00bluebrotherdon't you need admin rights for ipodpatcher anyway?

22:23:40bluebrotherwell, you just need to recompile ;-)

22:24:09bluebrotherbut currently it doesn't work if you miss the ini file.
22:25:58Domonokyi would leave this for the time, and change it when rbutilQt is nearly ready.. :-)
22:26:52Domonokybluebrother: with the zlib you used, would it be possible to track all unzipped files ?
22:26:54linuxstbIsn't the idea that rbutil downloads rbutil.ini from the server - so users don't need to update rbutil so frequently?
22:27:13bluebrotherthat's an option too.
22:27:21Domonokythats even better..
22:27:24bluebrotherDomonoky: you can easily create a list of the files in the zip
22:27:33linuxstbBut maybe now we have lots of download mirrors, it's not such an issue.
22:27:42bluebrotherso putting that in the log file should be sufficient, right?
22:27:49Domonokybluebrother: yes..
22:28:03amiconnDownloading the .ini requires it to put it into the user profile

22:46:48Drk_GuyHi guys!
22:46:55DerPapsthey guy
22:47:10Drk_GuyIs there any rockbox implementation for a SEMC Walkman phone?
22:47:29DerPapstno
22:47:38Drk_GuyRats
22:47:42DerPapstonly daps no phones
22:47:51Drk_GuyI want my SEMC mobile equipped with it
22:48:04bluebrotherthen go port it ;-)
22:48:23Drk_GuyI don't have the techy specs of the W300 phone
22:48:32Drk_GuyBut the source code is at hand
22:48:53DerPapstwhy do you want to run a digital audio player firmware on a phone? rockbox lacks any phone specific code
22:49:26Drk_GuyWalkman is certainly...
22:49:32Drk_GuyBoring with the time
22:49:42DerPapstyou have the source code of the OF from the phone?
22:50:01Drk_GuyAnd even more if i can't use OGG or at least AACv2
22:50:15Drk_GuyI have the FW files of it
22:50:23Drk_GuyFor both, normal files and sys files
22:50:50linuxstbYou mean the binaries?
22:50:58DerPapstah... i thought yo have the source code
22:51:01Drk_GuyYep
22:51:16Drk_GuyBut unluckily, no source-code
22:52:06DerPapstwell.. even if you had the source code i doubt any core dev would like to see rockbox on a phone...
22:52:12sarixea general question: how close are we to a final release?
22:52:32linuxstbDerPapst: I'm sure no-one would object if someone ported Rockbox to a phone...
22:52:37DerPapstso −−> <−−
22:52:47linuxstbsarixe: "final" means all developers are dead...
22:52:50PaulJamfinal release? am i missing something?
22:52:56sarixewell
22:52:59sarixei mean, stable
22:53:09sarixenot final
22:53:10linuxstbYou mean a first release (for the swcodec targets) ?
22:53:28bluebrotherdepends on if there will be a conclusion to make a release :)
22:53:32PaulJamthe stable release for Hxxx will be in may.
22:53:37*DerPapst simply can't imagine rockbox on a phone :P

22:53:47DerPapstmaybe as an app but not as firmware
22:54:03sarixewell, something along the lines of 2.5 for archos, but a stable version of current development

22:54:48linuxstbsarixe: I don't think any devs would consider the code anywhere near release quality. And the playback code is about to be completely rewritten...
22:54:58sarixeo
22:55:29bluebrotheris this the 3rd rewrite of the playback engine? Or even more? :o
22:55:32DerPapstwho's rewriting it? Nico_P?
22:55:46amiconnWell, even the release 2.5 for archos is known to have bugs
22:55:47bluebrotherafaik
22:56:21linuxstbDerPapst: Nico_P and JdGordon are working on rewriting the file buffering code. I'm sure others will help with the other parts. The problem is that no-one understands the current code...
22:56:22amiconnIt's the first rewrite of the swcodec playback from ground up
22:57:39DerPapsti knew they were working on MoB... didn't know that they wanted to rewrite the playback engine as well.
22:58:13DerPapstwhat's so bad at the current one? except that noone understands it.
22:58:15Slasheriother changes to the playback code have been mainly restructuring it and making it even more complex so it's beoynd everyones knowledge

22:59:35GNUtoohello does an alternative firmware exist for a Gmini XS 202? like archopen or is it suported by any experimental rockbox port?...i don't know any other....do that exist?
22:59:52linuxstbbluebrother: Don't give him ideas...
22:59:53bluebrotherRockbox only supports the players listed on the front page

23:00:39GNUtoobluebrother, ok and is there any other firmware than rockbox that could support such player?
23:00:53DerPapstmacro language?
23:01:28webguest25is it possible to customize the menu ?
23:01:44webguest25possibly byusing a text file
23:02:06Lloreanwebguest25: No. Not without compiling a custom build of Rockbox.
23:02:09linuxstbwebguest25: The source code is in text files - you need to modify the source and recompile.
23:02:17PaulJamno, you can only change the txtcolour, icons and background in the menus

23:03:23webguest25reorganize or rename
23:03:40webguest25similar to evolution x or a menu.ini
23:04:00webguest25im a rook to rockbox
23:04:23linuxstbI just mean that if you don't like the current layout, what's wrong?
23:04:39webguest25nothings wrong
23:04:58webguest25just want it to be personally customized
23:05:39GNUtoono one is working on the gimini port at this moment? http://www.rockbox.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/GminiPort
23:06:06webguest25thats the point of all this(besides expanded capabilities) right?
23:06:25BagderGNUtoo: that's officially dead and removed by now
23:06:45DerPapstwebguest25: there was an attemp from JdGordon to realize something similar but noone liked it (with some exceptions ;) )
23:06:50linuxstbwebguest25: The only way you can do that is to learn how to compile Rockbox yourself, and learn how to modify the source code to rearrange things.
23:07:09bluebrotherwebguest25: we do not want to support customizable menus
23:07:20bluebrotherthus you can't easily do this.
23:08:21webguest25i c
23:08:54***Saving seen data "./dancer.seen"
23:09:10webguest25i just thought that since it seems to be linux based then customizable menus would not be too hard to achieve
23:09:19LloreanIt's not linux based, at all.
