#rockbox log for 2007-08-28

00:00:57EnterUserNamelazka: do you have problems with charging?
00:04:03 Join dirkson [0] (n=dirkson@c-24-20-114-81.hsd1.or.comcast.net)
00:04:44dirksonHeyo all. I've just installed rockbox on an ipod mini.... Is it supposed to come with an mp3 codec? I get errors on every. single. mp3.
00:05:08dirksonMostly "No codec for this file" errors, with the occasional generic "codec error" mixed in the pot.
00:05:46lazkaEnterUserName: no, not really.
00:05:46saratogadirkson: that generally means the install didn't work
00:05:51EnterUserNamesigh..
00:06:14EnterUserNamelooks like i gotta return it. I tried it on my macbook/pc/work computer all not charging fully
00:06:16dirksonsaratoga, Ah! Well, good to know... Umm... "install"? You mean, "Copy this directory over and configure your bootloader"?
00:06:20EnterUserNamethans lazka :)
00:06:55saratogadirkson: yes, i assume you're using today's SVN build the bootloader from the manual?
00:07:01***Saving seen data "./dancer.seen"
00:07:23 Quit jgarvey ("Leaving")
00:07:33dirksonsaratoga, I've been using loader2 from ipodlinux . (Another firmware that I've been having trouble making play mp3s >.< )
00:07:54saratogadirkson: well it sounds like you don't have something setup right
00:08:03saratogai'd recommend trying the rockbox bootloader and seeing if it works
00:08:15pixelmaand those are not files you bought from itunes or the like?
00:08:45dirksonsaratoga, I attempted to rename the rockbox folder to cover up an earlier failed install. Let me tinker with that- perhaps some sage-like programmer has coded in a hard value.
00:08:50linuxstbdirkson: Do you have a ".rockbox" (note the dot) folder in the root of your ipod's FAT32 partition? i.e. the same place as "Notes", "Calander", "iPod_Control" etc
00:09:14linuxstbInside .rockbox should be a directory called "codecs", and in there, an "mpa.codec"
00:09:15dirksonsaratoga, linuxstb This confirms my suspicion : ) I think I know how to fix this now. *tinker*
00:11:02dirksonP.S. Is there any way to stop rockbox from switching into usbdisk mode every time I plug it in?
00:12:16dirksonHahaha! For the first time since I got it, my mp3 player is successfully playing an mp3 ^.^ (Yes, yes I did switch to open source before even /testing/ the proprietary software ;) )
00:12:29dirksonThanks guys : )
00:13:09linuxstbdirkson: Hold MENU as you insert the cable (and maybe for a couple of seconds afterwards)
00:15:16dirksonlinuxstb, You're awesome...... Except that it just did it anyway

00:25:39dirkson Ok
00:25:56dirksonAlso: Does rockbox support any other filesystem than fat32?
00:26:00saratogano
00:26:33dirksonsaratoga, That sucks. What're we running on top of, some variant of uclinux, or something else?

01:23:56nerochiarosaratoga: i was just wondering if you had any chance of trying the wma samples that crashed the rockbox simulator for me ?
01:24:09nerochiaroas for the libasf in the zip, i have not checked if it was the most recent one

01:24:35 Quit HellDragon (Nick collision from services.)
01:25:15saratoganerochiaro: yes one of them causes a nasty overflow error in the LSP decoding stuff
01:25:20saratogai didn't figure out a fix for it
01:26:00saratogai've been working on a problem with the changes made that enable us to decode one frame at a time
01:26:27saratogamost of the problem samples i have left seem to have that problem, or else something wrong with LSP if they've very low bitrate files
01:26:38saratogaonce i get it figured out, it might solve a few of your problems
01:27:05saratogaunfortunately, i'm back in school so my rockbox time is more limited
01:27:31saratogaand anyway, most of the remaining issues seem quite rare. so i'm not too concerned
01:27:53saratogai mostly want to fix the superframe bug i mentioned, and then get proper seeking in rockbox (though that shouldn't impact you)
01:28:42nerochiarosaratoga: isn't the rockbox decoder alrady decoding one frame at a time ?
01:29:02saratogayes, but on very rare files, the changes made to allow that seem to corrupt frames
01:29:41saratogathe problem does not impact my older version of the codec, so i can only assume thats the fault
01:29:57saratogaunfortunately, the problem has proven extremely difficult to track down
01:29:58nerochiarosaratoga: corrupt as in causing artifacts in the playback ? i have a couple of files that have bursts of static in just a couple places in the whole file
01:30:09saratogayes thats typically it
01:30:22saratogaVLC decoding will return nonsense on those files, or sometimes crash entirely
01:30:39nerochiaroi didn't have crashes so far due to that
01:30:45saratogaif the bitrate is over 32 kbps, this is the only remaining bug i am aware of
01:30:55saratogathough there may be others
01:30:58nerochiarohowever i'm still puzzling as to why i have that vlc overflowing problem that i mentioned earlier
01:31:05nerochiaroon the vlc buffers
01:31:07saratogai thought you resolved that?
01:31:49nerochiaroby increasing the buffers unfortunately
01:32:01saratogathat actually worked?
01:32:09nerochiaroit works, but i recognize it's ugly and probably wrong
01:32:30saratogawhat did you increase them to?
01:33:36nerochiarovlcbuf1 and 2, increased to 5100
01:35:01 Part pixelma
01:35:05saratoga5100x2?
01:35:35nerochiaroVLC_TYPE vlcbuf1[5100][2];
01:36:38saratogathats very strange
01:37:00saratogais that the minimium size you could use, or just a larger one picked at random?
01:37:52 Join phalax [0] (n=phalax@h-82-96-32-75.ip.rixbredband.se)
01:38:34nerochiaroit's actually the minimum, as far as i remember testing it. if you look at the original, it's VLC_TYPE vlcbuf1[2550][2]; i think, thus i doubled the buffer size
01:38:49 Quit phalax (Client Quit)
01:39:13saratogahave you tried checking sizeof(VLC_TYPE) just to be sure?
01:39:46saratogacould be one of the struct members is acidently typed differently on your system
01:39:54nerochiaroactually no, it occourred to me just as a few minutes ago when i told you it was double the original size
01:40:10nerochiaroi'll check that
01:40:26nerochiarowhat should it be the proper size ?

02:00
02:01:41saratoganerochiaro: yeah the wma lowbitrate features enable at 32 kbps (noise coding) and 16 kbps (Line spectral Pairs)
02:02:01saratogaboth are extremely difficult to implement in fixed point precision, so some problems likely remain
02:03:13nerochiaroi see. the situation is more clear now. let me check the bitrate of the files that have the bursts of static, i guess they will be low bitrate too

02:10:27saratogai don't think i've had anyone submit a < 32k wma file with an error that they actually wanted to listen to
02:10:41saratogayou're actually the only person to ever send me music at less then 128k
02:11:04saratogawhich is why i suspect theres still a number of problems with low bitrate files
02:11:21saratogawell, that and the fact that the noise coding + lsp code paths are almost as long as the rest of the codec combined
02:11:28nerochiaroi'm not actually listening any of that. it's coming from the gals in the neuros testing team. they say they picked them from "popular download sites" (i didn't ask more)
02:11:31saratogaand much more FP intensive
02:12:24saratogaif you're finding problem files, you could probably fix them on your device pretty easily just by adding int64 variables to where ever the problem is

02:12:27nerochiarofunny, i would have expected that low bitrate codecs to be less complex for decoding than the higher bitrate ones. shows how little i know of audio coding tech, i guess
02:12:33saratogayou've certainly got the CPU power to afford that
02:13:00nerochiarocan you please explain better what you mean by adding the int64 vars ?
02:13:10saratogaright now the codec is all 32 bit
02:13:29saratogathe low bitrate problems are all just overflows in the LSP and Noise coding blocks
02:13:49saratogaswitching to 64 bit math neatly side steps the problem, but i don't do that because its quite slow
02:13:56saratogaand i'm working with ARM7
02:14:18saratogaso my fixes are generally more clever algebra to work around overflows

02:14:41saratogai basically just rescale variables, and rearrange multiplies and additions so that the values never get too big or too small to fit into a 32 bit int
02:15:14saratogaunfortunately, since i do not understand the math in the LSP or Noise coding sections, figuring out the needed range of each variable is quite difficult
02:15:21saratogatheres a lot of guess work
02:15:48nerochiarothese low bitrate algorithms aren't documented anywhere i guess ?
02:16:47saratogatheres various papers on LSP, but i don't really get the theory, so i didn't spend too much time on it
02:17:08saratoga"noise coding" is just a general idea, so who knows how it really works or what to look up
02:17:30saratogasadly ffmpeg does not provide citations with their comments
02:17:53nerochiaroaren't the authors reachable somehow ?
02:19:30nerochiaroand in original ffmpeg the LSP stuff is implemented in 64bit int math or float ? i was thinking to pick these parts up from ffmpeg is they don't use floats
02:19:42saratogaoriginally ffmpeg was all float

02:26:03saratogai guess if you can tolerate huge performance decreases, you could probably just do the LSP stuff in fp
02:26:13saratoganot sure i'd recommend that though
02:26:31saratogaint64 would probably be a factor of 5 or 10 faster, and really not any harder to implement

02:27:10saratogawma_lsp_to_curve is probably where your lowbitrate problems are at
02:27:24nerochiarowell, fp is really too much for that processor. as for the int64 change, i'm not really sure i'm into the math enough to implement it, unfortunately. i might have to resort to just disable low bitrate support, at least in the beginning

02:32:25saratogayeah
02:32:37saratogait'll get slower, but you're probably already at 500% realtime
02:32:39saratogamaybe faster
02:32:41nerochiaroallright, giving it a shot
02:33:14saratogathough for best results, you'd probably want to tweak the shifts in that function too so that smaller numbers are allowed (32->64 will allow larger numbers but not change the limit on smaller ones)

02:43:49saratogaand each one of those static burst is also 2048 samples long
02:44:03saratogai suspect that it doesn't detect the block size right on those samples
02:44:33nerochiarosaratoga: so it doesn't look hard to fix
02:44:45nerochiaroif it's indeed that the problem
02:45:21webguest70I guess I need to change the directory it will write to. Is that correct?
02:46:03nerochiarosaratoga: well, it's 3AM here, so i really need to go to sleep now. i needed to ask you some questions about seeking too, but we can maybe talk about that again the next time i catch you online
02:46:17saratoganerochiaro: sure
02:46:22saratogai have semi working seeking code already
02:47:05iambenwebguest70: yes you should edit the script and change install path and other options
02:47:22saratogaif macos allows sudo, just use that
02:47:36saratogaanyway, i'm going home
02:47:48nerochiarosaratoga: glad to hear that :) and thanks for all the help so far
02:47:54nerochiarosaratoga: that = the seeking thing

03:01:23webguest70I think I have to change prefix="/usr/local"
03:01:45webguest70Do I need to keep "usr" or "local"?
03:02:34iambenwell i kept my prefix like that, because i wanted mine installed at /usr/local/rbdev
03:02:44iambenbut you can put it wherever you like
03:03:15iambenif you put prefix="/home/user" then it will install at /home/user/rbdev
03:03:31webguest70How about "$HOME/rockbox/build"
03:04:50iambenthis $prefix is for where you want the build environment (ie gcc and friends) installed, not where you want the built rockbox to go

08:55:52prb_linkerI think this is a problem in the makefile. I don't see two separate LD calls there
08:55:57ddaltonsince I left rockbox users has the argument continued or is it over?
08:56:07pixelmaif you need more than one C file to compile your plugin, don't you need to add it to SUBDIRS (not SOURCES)? I don't know much about but...
08:56:16ddaltonI have seen two more messages but that is it.
08:56:34GodEaterI doubt it's a problem in the make file
08:56:34prb_linkerOne .rock should be produced from files _common and _view, the other .rock from _common and _append
08:56:58ddaltonso has anyone found out what players will run p7660?
08:57:21prb_linkerI think they are compiled and linked all three −− hence the probs with linking
08:57:28pixelmaprb_linker: same as plugins like sudoku and so one do?
08:57:34pixelma*on
08:57:50prb_linkerSince two of them include MEM_WRAPPERS
08:58:14prb_linkerpixelma: not quite like that since I want to produce two .rocks
08:58:31prb_linkerpixelma: whereas sodoku and co only produce one

09:06:20GodEatergod, what a mess
09:07:54xigxagerrr, I can't seem to locate the daily source. It is included in the compiled zip or something?
09:08:11GodEaterxigxag: no
09:08:19GodEaterxigxag: try current builds
09:08:25GodEaterxigxag: not the daily ones
09:08:29Lloreanxigxag: It's the "Source Archive" on the current build page...
09:08:40B4gderxigxag: there's a current source and there's a daily source, a ~9MB zip
09:09:04B4gderand there's svn...
09:09:07xigxagthe link from source archive is the bleeding tar
09:09:23 Quit Jon-Kha (Read error: 145 (Connection timed out))
09:09:23xigxagyeah I definitely don't want to svn, heh
09:09:34scorchewhy not?
09:09:36B4gderwhy not? it is a lot simpler to update
09:09:41Lloreanxigxag: Why don't you want SVN or even the bleeding edge?
09:09:43B4gderand makes less things to download over time
09:09:48LloreanThe daily is just the bleeding edge made once a day...
09:09:50xigxagI thought that meant it was checked out?
09:10:04xigxagSVN?
09:10:07peturprb_linker: I think you can only have one source file for a .rock, if you need more move it to a subdir or move the common part in lib
09:10:24B4gderxigxag: checking out the code from svn gets you the latest and most up-to-date
09:10:27xigxagbecause I don't know what I'm doing
09:10:34B4gderhaha
09:10:38B4gderyou'll learn
09:10:39xigxagheh
09:10:53scorche"checking out" is the same thing as downloading the source
09:10:56Lloreanxigxag: Checking out just means "downloading", it doesn't mean you can do anything to our copy
09:10:58xigxagyeah, but I didn't want to have code checked out if it would inhibit what someone else is doing
09:10:59ddaltonadn you can use svn diff and svn up

09:11:32LloreanIt's not analogous to say, checking out a book, where it prevents someone else access to the book.
09:11:37stripwaxxigxag - svn doesn't lock when you check out, it's fine!
09:11:55ddaltonisn't that check in or something?
09:12:29xigxagheh, good deal. I just knew it was some kind of versioning, so I thought it would have a way to prevent different people from altering the same parts of the code at the same time or something
09:12:51prb_linkerpetur: I moved all sources (three .c files) to a subdir (shortcuts). From those three files, two .rocks must be produced. Should be possible, I just don't know how
09:13:06stripwaxconflicts are handled at checkin only - nothing really prevents people altering the same code, so don't worry :)

09:17:24linuxstb_prb_linker: The problem (as others have said) is in the Makefile - it's only generating one .rock. You need to split the $(OUTPUT): rule into separate rules for each rock

09:18:10LloreanAh
09:18:21LloreanI was wondering if this was an extension of that, or something I missed another time
09:18:25LloreanI was in favour of "no hubs"
09:18:33prb_linkerlinuxstb: that I have assumed. But I'm not very good at writing makefiles so if somebody could do this properly... I'd be grateful
09:18:36*linuxstb_ just want a disk mode
09:18:42linuxstb_^+s
09:18:46*Llorean will be perfectly happy with just a disk mode
09:20:32*GodEater adds his vote for "just disk mode"
09:20:59linuxstb_And of course a serial port driver could have nice debugging uses...
09:21:13peturwas just going to say that too
09:21:49B4gderit would be amusing to get better usb support than the osd ;-)
09:22:16markun_maybe some code from the usb_serial driver we already have could be reused
09:22:20GodEaterI'm sure that patch file is broken too
09:22:28GodEaterit patches each file twice from what I can see =/
09:23:17ddaltonjust got p7660 to work on the sim (gigabeat)
09:23:41linuxstb_Is that espeak?
09:23:44markun_ddalton: great!
09:23:44*ddalton Thinks it will be great if we can some how get it to run on other targets
09:23:49markun_ddalton: it's real-time?
09:23:53ddaltonand sort the licence out.
09:24:11linuxstb_I assume it's on hold until we hear back from the espeak author...
09:24:21ddaltonyep it read a text file to me exactly as expected.
09:24:25scorchemarkun_: he said sim, so i would assume it is real-time ;)
09:24:31markun_ah :)
09:24:36ddaltonwhat is real-time?
09:25:00linuxstb_If it takes less than 1 minute to generate 1 minute of audio.
09:25:09markun_scorche: I think my brain just wanted to hear the gigabeat part :)
09:25:14scorchehehe
09:25:15prb_linkerGodEater: hrm... you are right. I don't know how it happened. I produced the patch with TortoiseSVN.
09:25:38ddaltonso what is different on the gigabeat to the h300?
09:25:46GodEaterddalton: the cpu
09:25:48ddaltonor is the sim different to the player?
09:25:53Lloreanddalton: The sim is very different from the player
09:25:54GodEateramongst other things :)
09:26:11linuxstb_Didn't toni say there were endian issues on big-endian?
09:26:13markun_ddalton: the sim is not an emulator
09:26:13ddaltonso if it runs on the sim it might not run on the actual gigabeat?
09:26:19LloreanI'd bet the H300 sim will work.
09:26:29Lloreanlinuxstb_: Yeah, it's endianness he said
09:26:39ddaltonlet me try just it might take a while to compile

09:32:15ddaltonit says don't wrong.
09:32:44markunLooks like espeak also has support for chinese. Maybe the rockbox voice strings should be written in pinyin for that.
09:33:09B4gderlet's save that for the massive amount of chinese contributors...
09:33:42markun;)
09:34:09ddaltonIt voices in full punctuation. So it will not voice words like wouldn't ,shouldn't and don't. And so on.
09:34:16ddaltoncorrectly
09:34:24ddaltonit says them though
09:34:31GodEaterbetter than nothing
09:34:34markunB4gder: reminds me of the time I spent on arabic support vs the amount of users we have
09:34:36linuxstb_How does it say them?
09:34:42B4gdermarkun: :-)
09:34:46ddaltonwell that's right. A good start.
09:34:51GodEaterwouldn apostrophe t
09:34:54GodEaterI would guess
09:35:22ddaltonyep but it shouldn't be to hard to create some sort of dictionary file once everything is working.
09:35:24markunddalton: in the normal application it's an option to voice them I think, maybe we need to set some variable correctly
09:35:55markunthe −−punct option
09:36:17ddaltonwell as I might have said before I don't think I have the skills to port it yet so I will read my c book. But when I do I will deffenetly help out.
09:37:33ddaltoncan you start variables with -?
09:37:40markunlinuxstb_: I wonder what the espeak port changes for my GSoC student..
09:37:52markunddalton: no
09:38:04ddaltonso is the espeak project under the gpl v 3 and rockbox is under v2?
09:38:10markunyes
09:38:27ddaltonand what is the differences?
09:38:45ddaltonbetween v2 and 3?
09:38:48GodEaterlets just say they're not compatible
09:38:58*GodEater doesn't want to see this whole debate all over again
09:39:05ddaltonok then which one gives the developer more fredom?
09:39:10linuxstbmarkun: I don't think it changes anything - apart from helping him integrate his port with Rockbox by giving him some code he can steal.
09:39:19GodEaterddalton: that's the point people like to argue over
09:39:27markunlinuxstb: good point
09:39:32markunI'll mail him about it

09:42:53linuxstbmarkun: I thought that an extension had been granted?
09:43:04markunyes, but this was the deal
09:43:05*petur still isn't sure if he should pass or fail
09:43:08*ddalton Wonders which one sounds better. (I am sure users will find that important) Doesn't worry me.
09:43:39markunI will change it to a positive one if he produces something during the extension
09:43:51GodEaterddalton: that's a matter of preference too. LinusN says he hates espeak, but I prefer it over the other two
09:43:59ddaltonHow does it read the language selection?
09:44:10LloreanI definitely prefer espeak over the other two, as well
09:44:15LloreanSounds less grating to me.
09:44:19GodEaterthink markun does too
09:44:23ddaltonwell espeak sounds fine to me. But I don't mind any.
09:44:31GodEaterLinusN really doesn't like it though
09:44:38ddaltonI just want them to read the screen to me so I can understand it.
09:44:42markunGodEater: nobody really liked espeak when I demo-ed it a bit during devcon
09:44:52GodEatermarkun: that's a shame
09:45:08markunI personally don't care, as long as I'm happy with it :)
09:45:16GodEaterindeed
09:45:49ddaltonso how does it read the language selection when you enter the plugin?
09:45:53markunI've listened to quite some books while making midnight walks using espeak ;)
09:45:56LloreanI don't like espeak in comparison to say... some of the windows voices.
09:46:10LloreanBut compared to flite and festival, that's a different story.

09:49:29markunI hope a espeak plugin for rockbox will make people submit patches to espeak for improvements and other languages
09:49:30LloreanGodEater: They sounded very natural and nice
09:49:50GodEaterLlorean: I'll take your word for it
09:49:53Lloreanmarkun: It'd be hard for us to incorporate those patches though, unless he goes back to v2 or later.
09:50:19markunLlorean: let's first wait what jonathan replies to aliask
09:51:01LloreanYeah
09:51:23LloreanI'm really hoping we'll get a positive response there, or at least some form of limited dual licensing that will work for us.
09:51:31linuxstbLlorean: Or we go v3...

10:32:32markunprzemhb: just grep for "codepage", you will probably find a few places where to change the code

10:38:58przemhbI have one more question - is it a bug that rockbox does not play m4a files encoded with NeroAAC and -br or -cbr switches?
10:39:56linuxstbI think the main known bug with the m4a parser is that it won't play "non-streaming" files - i.e. files with the AAC metadata at the end of the file, rather than the more usual start.

10:58:43*GodEater wonders why aliask said he had to use a windows PC to load code onto his S

11:16:03B4gderlike the mrobe
11:16:18linuxstbA couple of people have been around recently showing interest in the Elio, but I'm not convinced they have the motivation to go through the learning curve of porting Rockbox
11:17:04amiconnThe elio itself is a somewhat interesting target imo, because it is hdd based, and has a card slot + usb host
11:17:19amiconnThe rest is standard pp
11:17:19peturdoes it have line-in?
11:17:29linuxstbI haven't completely abandoned it - it just needs the LCD breakthrough...
11:18:37linuxstbpetur: It has a standard USB socket, a dock connector similar to the ipods (but not the same), and a card slot. I don't know if there's a line-in in the dock connector.
11:18:46Nico_Pspeaking of the mrobe, what's its status ?

11:26:09Nico_Pthat makes me wonder... any reason why the archopen code was never used to port rockbox to the tragets they have ?
11:26:31B4gderNico_P: because nobody ever bothered I guess
11:27:06linuxstbNico_P: That's what I'm working on at the moment - the av300 port. But the archopen-supported devices are more media players than DAPs, so Rockbox isn't ideally suited to them.
11:27:55scorchethe av300 is ideally suited to me =) (the screen isnt needed, but otherwise...)
11:28:08*scorche needs to start clearing off his projects list to he can move on to that...
11:29:00Nico_Pand how is archopen suited for these targets ? better than the OF or not ? One of my friends bought a gmini400 and I was wondering whether to point him to archopen or not

11:32:09linuxstbLlorean: I think so - the main focus seems to be similar to IPL - games.
11:32:23scorchethat is what i gathered as well
11:32:26linuxstbAlthough recently (in the last few months), they've added an audio player. I haven't tested that yet though.
11:32:27DerPapstmeh...
11:32:29amiconnSpeaking about reliable state...
11:32:39*DerPapst hates all those stupid iPL games
11:32:40*amiconn really needs to get his head around powermgmt
11:32:44linuxstbBut afaik, there's no attempt at video playback, which is the main use of those devices.
11:33:19scorchehrm...last time i checked, i dont think they had audio playback
11:33:29*scorche goes and checks for a changelog
11:33:34Lloreanlinuxstb: Well *we've* got Video Playback.
11:33:41DerPapstsomeone made yet another emu for iPL which runs with incedibly 2-4 fps :-/
11:33:48Lloreanlinuxstb: They could just port Rockbox as one of their "plugins" or whatever. :-P
11:33:50linuxstbLlorean: Yes, another unfinished project of mine... ;(
11:33:55B4gderscorche: they have audio at least
11:33:56Nico_Pso basically rockbox would be more suited than archopen for those devices :)
11:34:20Lloreanlinuxstb: I don't consider video particularly unfinished. The only real thing lacking is FF/RW, right? (Something I've not actually felt the lack of, oddly enough)
11:34:35LloreanNico_P: *I* think it would be. ;)
11:34:55linuxstbLlorean: I suppose so. But it still has optimisation potential.
11:35:03LloreanTrue
11:35:07linuxstb(especially on Coldfire)
11:35:10LloreanBut we've got a lot of codecs with optimization potential too.
11:35:18Nico_Pwasn't someone working on FF/RW ?
11:35:23Nico_PjhMikeS ?
11:35:41LloreanNico_P: There's a couple patches with two different implementations of nearly-seeking, and yeah, jhMikeS was looking into it too
11:35:46linuxstbLlorean: Yes, but at least they're working realtime. mpegplayer is only realtime (if we consider 25fps+ fullscreen video realtime) on a few targets.
11:35:47amiconnLlorean: And stability / sorting out the voice collision
11:35:52*Nico_P also remembers a patch for SRT support :)
11:35:56Lloreanamiconn: Ah, that's an important one.
11:36:32*linuxstb is expecting the av300 port to force him into working on hw/swcodec integration
11:36:32Lloreanlinuxstb: Considering most of those targets weren't designed for video, and the fact that the few that play video natively are beaten by Rockbox already, I'd consider it alright though
11:36:50LloreanI mean we match the Sansa's OF (and beat it in 16:9) and we beat or match the H300 don't we?
11:36:59LloreanOr are we behind on the H300, I seem to recall we were at 10-12 for a while
11:37:01amiconnlinuxstb: This morning I was thinking once more about shorten on archos....
11:37:21*preglow whispers "PP5020!!" to amiconn
11:37:24preglow:D
11:37:48amiconnWell, if you fix the nano issue meanwhile... ;)
11:38:09linuxstbamiconn: My current thinking is that the av300 will be a hwcodec target. So I'll need to add support for the PCM codec and software decoders. The difference will simply be that the av300 can decode more formats.
11:38:14preglowdon't even know if my nano is affected, heh
11:38:51Lloreanpreglow: Update to svn-current, and play a mixed playlist of MP3, Ogg and FLAC for about 30 minutes, and you'll know. :-P
11:39:01amiconnEven if it's not it might be helpful for figuring out what's going on
11:40:40preglowwhat needs to be done?
11:41:29amiconnWell, I can't tell exactly what's needed, that's why I can't work on it without an actual unit
11:42:16amiconnI suspect it's ata timing, so if I'd have to start with an unaffected unit, I'd try increasing CPUFREQ_MAX to 100MHz and see whether this will make it an affected target
11:43:25amiconnI'd also start playing with the ata timing registers and see whether it's possible to fix the ata sleep hangup by using proper timing on wakeup
11:44:02amiconnThe toshiba hdds obviously aren't susceptible to timing errors
11:44:03preglowi'll see what i have time for

12:04:27amiconneh?
12:04:37amiconnI need 10 minutes for *one* voice now
12:04:43pondlifei.e. Cygwin + Windows file system was the problem
12:04:56rasheramiconn: Using the clip-pool, subsequent voices are quite fast
12:05:02amiconnThe actual problem in cygwin isn't filesystem, as I had to learn
12:05:03pondlifeI'm not using the pool
12:05:08amiconnIt's process creation
12:05:11pondlifeAh

12:06:35linuxstbamiconn: I don't know if it's comparable (or if you even want to work on it), but you could try a CF card in your mini. IIUC, CF cards have the same sleeping problem that the Nano does.
12:07:06amiconnNot all CF cards will work, they need to support trueata (or however that's called)
12:07:09rasheramiconn: haha, yeah I'm just satisfied that it even runs.

12:07:33pondliferasher: Looks like I am using pool now...
12:07:46amiconnOption Explicit enforces to declare all used variables (with Dim). It might even speed up things, never measured...
12:08:31pondlifeAre we now starting a SAPI server? Or is it a new invocation each clip still?
12:08:58rasherpondlife: It's not a server as such, but we only run the vbscript once and keep it running throughout the script
12:09:07pondlifeOK, so a single invocation
12:09:10rasherYeah
12:09:20pondlifeWell, whatever you did works well here
12:09:32rasherIt's mainly the perl, probably

12:11:26pondlifeMicrosoft Sam, should be ok, no?
12:11:39pondlifeI guess I need to learn about rsync?
12:11:45linuxstbAre you planning to replace the current voice files with windows-generated versions?
12:12:11pondlifeMaybe. They certainly sound better - despite the ploo-jins.
12:12:24pondlife:)
12:12:31rasherYou can adjust that in voice.pl
12:12:38rasherif you're handy with regexps
12:12:52linuxstbWill that be various languages as well?
12:12:53pondlifeAh, did you do that work too?

12:13:08rasher$string =~ s/plugins/pluck-ins/; # might work?
12:13:31pondlifeMaybe we should have a daily voice build farm?
12:13:54pondlifeSo we can have a selection of languages and voices.
12:14:17rasherI'd say the festival/flite/espeak voices could all be done by the build-server
12:14:32preglowwhy use anything but festival?
12:14:44rasherBecause festival isn't terribly hot
12:14:45preglowflite is festival with fewer features and espeak sounds like crap :)
12:14:57pondlifepreglow: Festival sounds awful.
12:15:05pondlifeIMNSHO
12:15:10rasherFlite might actually be a better choice for the english voice, since it's faster
12:15:13preglowsounds ok enough to me
12:15:15rasherFaster to generate, that is
12:15:19linuxstbpondlife: That wouldn't be that hard - you can run sshd with cygwin so the existing build scripts could probably do the job with little tweaking.
12:15:51*pondlife knows little about Linux or shells (yet).

12:31:18linuxstbbluebroth3r: Maybe a manual-features.txt would be more suited though - i.e. a file similar to features.txt that creates the \opt definitions based on the #defines in config.h
12:31:56linuxstbOr is that how it works now?
12:32:06bluebroth3rhmm. Parsing features.txt would require some gcc, right?
12:32:13B4gderyes
12:32:22B4gderat least a cpp
12:32:34bluebroth3rcurrently there are those definition files in manual/platform in which the definitions are set.
12:32:49bluebroth3rand plugins are opted separately
12:33:19bluebroth3rcould we add a simple perl preprocessor to tools/ and use that for this task?
12:33:27B4gdersure
12:34:02bluebroth3rnice. That could make some parts much cleaner ...
12:34:23linuxstbWouldn't using cpp be easier though? Does anyone not have at least the host C compiler installed?
12:34:54B4gderI think that's a safe assumption
12:34:54bluebroth3rwell, that's the question: can we safely assume someone who wants to work on the manual to have at least a host cc installed?
12:35:18linuxstbGiven all the other dependencies (Make, Perl, latex), one more isn't an issue IMO
12:35:19bluebroth3rif it's a safe assumption then we can of course use that. Even easier ;-)

12:53:23LloreanAt least there's a long, long unclosed task in the tracker relating to that
12:53:24markunrasher: mbrola is a diphone speech synthsizer with many voices
12:53:35JdGordonNico_P: maybe.... maybe...
12:53:43*JdGordon loves fixing simple bugs :p
12:54:06markunrasher: so with it espeak will just be used for the phoneme, pitch and duration info and should sound very different
12:54:45markunrasher: not sure how difficult it is to setup and how good it sounds
12:55:02amiconnmarkun: I created an espeak voice for my recorder for comparison. It sounds less distorted than festival, but very robotic instead...
12:55:33markunamiconn: using mbrola?
12:55:42markunhttp://espeak.sourceforge.net/mbrola.html
12:55:57amiconnNo. I didn't even know that it can use that
12:56:10rasherI found something really strange in Debian: epos - Text-to-speech system. Currently supported languages are Czech, Slovak, Latin and Vogon.
12:56:19preglowvogon????
12:56:22rasherI scared to even try it
12:56:30markunshould make it sound less robotic since the mbrola databases are created with real voice recordings
12:56:44scorchewe have to try vogon now...

13:02:17B4gderisn't that a contradition if anything?
13:02:28B4gder(minus the spelling errors)
13:02:33Lloreanrasher: So with mbrola we get the better pronunciation (in my opinion) of espeak, but with better sounding voices?
13:03:13rasherLlorean: surely you meant to ask markun about that?
13:03:26Lloreanrasher: Indeed I did.
13:03:28markunLlorean: that would be the idea yes
13:03:50markunbut only works for english so far I think
13:03:57LloreanAs I agree, the espeak voice doesn't sound great, but I do think it has the better pronunciation (which is why I lean toward it, that's what grates on my ear more)

13:54:40markunLlorean: I can't listen to them here at work. Do you think they sound ok?
13:54:46LloreanThe version of espeak that ubuntu installs didn't include the necessary bits for mbrola support to work (the folders were there but didn't contain the voice stubs) so I've been working on it.
13:54:53Lloreanmarkun: They sound much, much better than standard espeak.
13:54:54ZagorI'm a major debian fan :)

14:25:24Llorean"Have you read this book? Do you want to read it with me." works properly
14:25:30markunwow
14:25:49markunhe must have fixed that recently
14:27:02LloreanThe only problem with the mbrola voices is that they require a separate binary on linux that you have to pipe espeak's output through, and since it's binary-only it wouldn't work for an espeak plugin.

If the majority of currently active developers are happy to go v3, and there is a practical need for it, then I would hope all inactive devs would agree. Although we would probably end up with a small amount of code where the copyright holder isn't contactable, which would need to be either removed or rewritten.

16:28:39LloreanNimdae: iTunes doesn't seem to be wholly consistent in this behaviour (for example if you've reformatted it yourself in the past, iTunes doesn't seem to necessarily change it back to what it originally was)
16:29:24Nimdaewell, i haven't touched partitioning, but i've used mkfs in linux to format it, i wouldn't figure that to change the partition flag
16:29:32Nimdaebut

16:50:27*amiconn dares to say that we know more about PP5002 than PP502x

17:10:48wookey__hi peeps. Just been reading your wiki which is full of good stuff
17:10:57linuxstbBah, so I'm doomed to life without any gigabeat remotes...
17:11:09wookey__but I couldn;t wpork out if mp2 audio is supported (mpeg1-leyerII, as used in DAB)
17:11:54markunwookey__: it is supported
17:11:54linuxstbwookey__: Yes, mp2 is supported.
17:11:55wookey__I'm wanting to buy a player for the wife, who has a lot of mp2 from DAB. I thougth rockbox was best bet for supporting this
17:12:06wookey__OK. great - on all devices?
17:12:11linuxstbYes.
17:12:33wookey__brilliant. A -shopping I shall go.
17:12:52linuxstbwookey__: http://www.rockbox.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/BuyersGuide
17:12:57markunwookey__: which one are you planning to buy?
17:13:12wookey__yes I've been studying that :-)
17:13:38wookey__FM radio is pretty-much a must so irvier h320 or iaudio X5L look best bets
17:13:42markuna player with DAB support would also be nice
17:14:06markunM5L is also nice if you don't like recharging
17:14:12wookey__are there any players that have an SD slot? (and could read FAT off it)
17:14:14linuxstbDoes the M5L have radio?
17:14:19pixelmano
17:14:24markungood point :)
17:14:26wookey__indeed - otherwise I'd have picked it
17:14:28*linuxstb reads the buyers guide.... ;)
17:14:32bluebrotherthe sansa has a microsd slot
17:14:48bluebrotherbut IIRC the tuner isn't supported (yet)
17:14:55linuxstbI thought it was?
17:15:02linuxstbThe H10 is the unsupported tuner IIRC.
17:15:04bluebrothermaybe I missed that
17:15:10pixelmayes
17:15:18bluebrotheror I mixed it up ;-)

17:17:18 Quit webmind (Read error: 110 (Connection timed out))
17:17:38linuxstbwookey__: I have a cheap MP3 player with DAB (not supported by Rockbox though), and the DAB reception is bad - it almost never receives more than 1 or 2 multiplexes, and never the one I want to listen to (the BBC)
17:18:13wookey__that's about what I expected
17:19:16wookey__It would have been nice to just take SD cards out of DAB box and plug into mp3 player. Can you plug in a USB card reader and have rockbox read that?
17:19:39wookey__bit unwieldy, but still maybe handier than coping everything over via PC
17:20:26linuxstbNot at the moment, but that should happen in the future.
17:20:43bluebrotheryou'd need a player that supports USBOTG too.
17:20:46linuxstbBut you could probably dual-boot into the device's original firmware to do a USB transfer if it supports it.
17:21:21wookey__right - because all the players do usb client, but few do USB host
17:21:48linuxstbCan you use microSD cards in a SD slot?
17:22:13wookey__good question. Maybe an adaptor exists if they are electrically compatible
17:22:54alienbiker99yes, some even come with the adapter
17:22:56pixelmaafaik usually you can use MMC in SD slots... :P
17:23:38wookey__pixelma: sometimes. It doesn't seem to work on our radio (pure 'the bug')
17:23:59linuxstbwookey__: So the Sansa E200 would be a good choice if you can get microSD cards working.
17:25:24Shagnar^http://www.roombareview.com/chat/files/roomba_usb_connector_pin_out_152.jpg vs http://www.zytrax.com/images/usb-mini.gif - which one is right?
17:25:44amiconnMicroSD cards in an SD slot just require a mechanical adapter
17:25:56wookey__linuxstb: yep - looks good. Thanx everso for the advice.
17:26:21wookey__I look forward to joining the community and if I ever get any spare cycles I can do some hacking
17:26:45wookey__(I do embedded linux for a living so some nice simple rockbox hacking would be light relief)
17:27:30wookey__Although presumably it's like bootload-hacking - hard to tell what broke if it breaks...
17:27:37wookey__bootloader
17:28:05markunwookey__: depends what you work on
17:29:00wookey__presumably it's developed into its own little OS by now?

18:11:51bluebrotherwell, I could give it a try
18:12:02peturtaking the framebuffer out of iram sounds like a bad idea
18:12:14linuxstbIRAM on PP isn't as important as Coldfire.

18:12:31bluebrotherwhy does the usb stack need that much iram?
18:12:48preglowthe usb controller can't access the normal bus
18:12:53preglowso it needs all its data to be in iram
18:13:01preglowto be expected, really
18:13:03bluebrotherand as idea, could the codec iram be used for that?
18:13:03linuxstbIt's not a caching issue?
18:13:25preglowbluebrother: could, yeah, but what if we want to play music while transfering stuff?
18:13:37preglowbluebrother: anyway, it's a good idea for preliminary work
18:13:38linuxstbOr using a USB serial port at the same time...
18:13:40bluebrotherwell, in that case we simply don't want this :P
18:13:52preglowi think it sounds like a decent solution for now
18:14:14bluebrothera couple of plugins also disable playback because of the buffer.
18:14:14linuxstbAnyone know if we're using all 128KB of IRAM on the PP5022?

18:16:45linuxstbrasher: Is it broken now?
18:16:59bluebrothercan't see any obvious difference right now.
18:17:02rasherlinuxstb: I broke it with my voice-building (and fixed it earlier today)
18:17:31rasherAnd the same happened for the usb stuff, etc.
18:17:42linuxstbrasher: There's quite a reliable system in place at the moment - someone breaks it, a user reports the problem, someone fixes it...
18:18:08*linuxstb was joking...
18:18:08bluebrotherhmm, is there some kind of usb debug screen?
18:18:43linuxstbbluebrother: Not that I know of. There's logf output, or the debug output (if any) on your host PC.
18:19:11bluebrotherok, so it's normal I don't see any real difference regarding usb.
18:19:22rasherlinuxstb: It's reliable, but has a high latency unfortunately

18:19:43bluebrotherhmpf. Plugins browser supporting arbitrary folders would be nice.
18:19:48linuxstbCurrently the code attempts a serial port connection - austriancoder told me to do " modprobe usbserial vendor=0x0525 product=0xa4a6"
18:19:52*bluebrother would like to have the lcd test plugin around.
18:20:17linuxstbYou should then see some connection info in /var/log/messages. If you're not running Linux, I can't help....
18:21:00bluebrotherah. Me dumb.
18:21:04linuxstbrasher: Presumably a test of the tarball would need to compile builds for all targets?

20:19:20LloreanNo, it belongs in the .rockbox folder, which shouldn't be inside any other folders.

20:26:34Domonokybejic: just ask, dont shout...
20:26:43Llorean`sam`: Dunno, honestly. I've seen the option, but I don't remember in what tool or where. ;)
20:26:45bejicevery time I connect the sansa to the pc the music folder goes to hidden
20:27:04Llorean`sam`: I just know it's necessary for Rockbox to look on that partition.
20:27:13Lloreanbejic: That's the Sandisk firmware doing that.
20:27:14bejicis there a way to diable this behaviour?
20:27:15GodEater_Llorean: I believe you mean it has to be a primary partition, and be marked as bootable. You can't "mark" it primary. It either is, or it's extended.
20:27:23amiconn`sam`: The partition needs to be primary, not logical. You're probably confusing that with what partition is active
20:27:25LloreanGodEater_: Ah, that's what I meant.
20:27:28Domonokybejic: you could just rename the music folder..
20:27:32amiconnThis is something rockbox doesn't care about
20:27:51`sam`amiconn, yeah i think i was confusing the 2, it is a primary partition, there are no extended partitions
20:27:58amiconnGodEater: The partition doesn't need to be marked bootable (active)
20:28:00bejicThanks domonoky will try

20:30:12GodEater_more than giving it as an instruction
20:30:15Lloreanamiconn: And I was speaking gibberish.

21:27:14LloreanHahaha

21:30:09GodEater_I will honour our bet

21:30:27GodEater_I win

21:31:07linuxstbYou didn't mention Llorean's penalty for losing though...
21:31:07GodEater_AND I'll let you carry on explaining to him now as part of your prize :)
21:31:23GodEater_$5 from him into the RB fund
21:31:27LloreanI'm curious which step threw him.
21:31:28GodEater_I thought it was implicit
21:31:58linuxstbGodEater_: I read it as you offering $5 if Llorean succeeded.
21:32:00GodEater_I think he got lost at "If"
21:32:15GodEater_indeed, and $5 from him if he didn't
21:32:17LloreanI never actually accepted a bet, but I'll throw in an extra $5 next time I donate anyway.
21:32:23GodEater_hehehe

21:34:56LloreanWe could have a weekly pool for what the longest new installation thread for that week will be. :-P
21:35:35GodEater_this one wouldn't count though - he's tacked it on the end of an old one
21:36:04GodEater_it won't be six posts if Llorean tells him to use Rbutil

21:45:57LloreanI was just curious what he's done.
21:46:07LloreanBut I realized, I'm not sure if he's got a half-finished installation right now or what
21:46:15Lloreanhe may be doing this on a 'clean' gigabeat
21:46:38GodEater_well if he's not showing the back up, it's either clean, or he's REALLY not following the instructions

21:52:59Domonokyah.. i didnt read the log, so i didnt know.. :-)
21:53:07GodEater_hence I told you :)
21:53:21fm2Another question: I created a new folder and (with TotoiseSVN) did an "Add" on it. The folder and all files within it were "added". After that, I produced a patch, and that patch contained the new files twice. What did I do wrong?

21:57:12linuxstbfm2: I haven't tried your version - I can tell it's not going to do the right thing.
21:57:40GodEater_fm2: did you fix the patch file so it's not full of duplicates now ?
21:58:07fm2linuxstb: ok. I just have search&replace on reversi, so if that's not the correct thing to do I'be thankful for a correction
21:58:34fm2GodEater: yes. Manually. I can't produce the correct patch with tortoisesvn (see above)
21:59:20fm2petur, bluebrother: do you know how to add files and folders to svn via tortoise?
21:59:38fm2GodEater: corrected patch is in FS
21:59:41linuxstbfm2: It's correct if you're only creating a single .rock None of the other plugin subdir Makefiles create multiple rocks.
22:00
22:00:04fm2linuxstb: yes, we don't go easy ways! :-)
22:00:29Domonokyfm2, normally you just use the "add" function of the svn client, and it should work.. dont know why it doesnt work for you.. maybe aou already added those files before ?

22:23:42rasherI take it it's not on purpose that the wps/Rockboxed dir (holding images) is not included in the tarball?
22:24:18fm2linuxstb: ok, done. Why don't we use SOURCES anymore?

23:50:27linuxstbfm2: No, I'm not sure.
23:50:29fm2Since the version is somewhere in the plugin header

23:52:43DerPapstbluebrother: seen the video about rockbox at cnet reviews? he points to the manual several times but he don't know how to reboot the ipod from rockbox... ^^
23:52:59bluebrotherDerPapst: yes, just watched it.
23:53:09DerPapstinstead he performs a reset -.-
23:53:11DerPapst;)
23:53:25bluebrotherwell, afaik it is the only way to reboot the Ipod −− otherwise you would need to shut it down first.

23:53:48DerPapstin rockbox hold down play/pause to reboot the ipod.
23:53:53DerPapstno need to reset it
23:54:10bluebrotherreally? That shuts down my Ipod ...
23:54:21fm2linuxstb: hm... all but 'view' vs 'append' seems to be identical
23:54:28DerPapstyeah. then press any other button and it reboots
23:54:42bluebrotheri.e. during shutdown?
23:55:01DerPapstno, after it's shot down
23:55:07linuxstbbluebrother: I think DerPapst is trying to say that you shouldn't reset (i.e. MENU+SELECT) Rockbox, but do a clean shutdown and power-on.

23:55:19bluebrotherah, ok.
23:55:20DerPapstthat's it
23:55:42fm2The difference in plugins starts at offset 0x88. Is this beyond header?
23:55:50bluebrotherI thought you meant a real reboot.
23:56:35linuxstbfm2: I don't know how big the plugin header is, but I would expect it to be very small.
23:56:35DerPapstnope.. but anyways. :P

23:57:05bluebrotherI would suggest users to do a real shutdown instead of a hard reboot too ;-)
23:57:32*DerPapst goes off for his daily beauty sleep
23:57:42DerPapstGood night everyone :)

23:58:31fm2linuxstb: this seems to be the standard win exe header starting with MZ (I build the sim). RB part is somewhere inside. So comaring the first bytes doesn't make sense
23:58:57linuxstbfm2: Ah, OK. In the sim things are different.
