| 00:10:21 | wookey__ | Sansa 280e arrived yesterday. ROckboxed it forthwith and it 'just works' - well done all! |
| 00:10:41 | wookey__ | even plays movies |
| 00:10:54 | wookey__ | I need to fiddle a bit more to find out how it all works |
| 00:11:03 | wookey__ | then I can ehlp hack |
| 00:11:16 | Bagder | we like that! |
| 00:11:36 | amiconn | linuxstb: The very first call to get_next_data() (wrongly) detects end of stream on amd64... |
| 00:11:49 | wookey__ | Any news on USB support for sansa? That is a very obvious missing piece that my wife is going to notice :-) |
| 00:12:09 | Bagder | wookey__: it's in the works at least |
| 00:12:35 | wookey__ | yeah - austriancoder was doing google SoC on it I hear |
| 00:13:25 | wookey__ | BTW is the default rockbox theme supposed to look like tiny monospace font with no colours/icons except yellow background? |
| 00:13:37 | wookey__ | or did I do something wrong. |
| 00:13:49 | Bagder | it is that basic |
| 00:14:21 | | Part rrae |
| 00:14:23 | Bagder | discussions tend to pop up every now and then on changing/improving that... |
| 00:14:38 | wookey__ | OK. Even I was a bit disapointed on the bling front - and I'm a proper geek :-) |
| 00:14:50 | Bagder | :-) |
| 00:14:51 | wookey__ | It's a fairly hard-core initial imporession |
| 00:15:14 | wookey__ | I can imagine people being put off before realising they can upload themes to their hearts content |

| 00:15:47 | JdGordon | they are usually the trouble makers, so no loss |
| 00:16:01 | wookey__ | perhaps that is true - it is a useful idiot-filter |

| 00:25:52 | webguest46 | forget it, this is too much for me. I don't know enough about linux to try tand make this work. For now, I'm just going to have to wait for the auto-installer. |
| 00:25:53 | k-man | is there a way to store music on rockbox so that rockbox and ipod software can use it? |
| 00:27:02 | scorche | webguest46: what do you need to "try an make this work" for?...the instructions are very explicit and should open room for interpretation |
| 00:27:11 | scorche | k-man: using i-tunes |
| 00:27:55 | k-man | scorche, ok.... so if i load up the ipod with itunes, rockbox can read the files and use them? |
| 00:28:07 | scorche | if you use database |
| 00:28:50 | webguest46 | Well, i'm just confused about what files i put into this cd creator and then what to do after that so i can get rockbox on my e200r. |

| 03:29:10 | saratoga | linuxstb: I can't remember, did I already ask you about APEV2 tags? |
| 03:29:58 | linuxstb | No |
| 03:30:12 | linuxstb | (not that I can remember at least...) |
| 03:30:57 | saratoga | ok then :) |
| 03:31:12 | saratoga | what was the reason the APEV2 for MP3 patch wasn't accepted ? |
| 03:31:40 | saratoga | I haven't found a good explination |
| 03:33:01 | linuxstb | IIUC, 1) There are philosphical objections - APE tags don't belong on MP3 files. 2) Plus technical - it shouldn't be necessary to perform extra seeks and disks reads to check for APE tags, but the fact that the id3 code is still in firmware/ and the ape code is in apps/ means they can't be unified easily. |
| 03:33:51 | saratoga | linuxstb: looking at it now, I don't believe it will cause an extra seek, since the patch seems to only look for APEv2 tags after a looking for ID3v1 |
| 03:34:14 | saratoga | since the APEV2 tag comes before the ID3v1 tag, it would already be in buffer |
| 03:34:40 | linuxstb | I thought apev2 tags are at the end of the file? |
| 03:34:51 | saratoga | yes, immediately before the ID3v1 tag |
| 03:35:01 | linuxstb | No, afterwards... |
| 03:35:11 | saratoga | no before |
| 03:35:18 | saratoga | ID3v1 is always the last 128 bytes of the file |
| 03:36:45 | Llorean | Do we always check for ID3v1, or only if v2 isn't found or "v1 before v2" is set for the priority? |
| 03:37:17 | saratoga | i think the current patch (if I understand it correctly) only searches for an APEv2 tag if ID3v2 fails |
| 03:38:04 | saratoga | so searching for an APEv2 tag should never happen seperately from an ID3v1 tag |
| 03:38:11 | linuxstb | It's been a long time since I looked at it, but doesn't the patch read the end of the file twice - once in id3.c and once in metadata.c ? |
| 03:38:43 | saratoga | linuxstb: do you mean metadata.c? |
| 03:39:51 | linuxstb | Yes... (as the code was before it was split). |
| 03:41:01 | saratoga | linuxstb: I couldn't remember if they were the same |
| 03:41:08 | saratoga | but no, it only reads the file in ape.c |

| 03:41:25 | saratoga | although, all mp3 files without an ID3v2 tag would be searched for an APEv2 tag |
| 03:41:45 | saratoga | i suppose thats obvious though |
| 03:42:32 | saratoga | anyway the patch seems quite harmless to non-ape users |
| 03:42:51 | linuxstb | So there won't be any extra disk reads for non-ape users? |
| 03:42:52 | saratoga | it jsut does single read from a part of the file that must be in buffer, and branches back if nothing is found |
| 03:43:40 | linuxstb | get_metadata() does direct disk reads - not reads from the buffer. |

| 03:46:18 | linuxstb | No. Plus the same functions are used when building the database... |
| 03:47:51 | saratoga | linuxstb: ok that makes a lot of sense |
| 03:48:10 | saratoga | for some reason I thought tags were read directly from the audio buffer |
| 03:48:37 | linuxstb | No, and even if they were, tracks longer than the buffer wouldn't have the tags in RAM... |
| 03:48:59 | | Quit Pyromancer (Remote closed the connection) |
| 03:49:13 | linuxstb | get_metadata() is called independently to the file buffering - before the track is loaded, and in advance for the next track. |

| 03:50:24 | saratoga | its not worth trying to run that seek out of the buffer if possible? |
| 03:50:58 | linuxstb | I'm not sure what you mean. |
| 03:51:27 | saratoga | sorry, I mean since we load tracks into the audio buffer anyway, why not read the metadata then |

| 03:52:03 | | Quit actionshrimp ("( www.nnscript.de :: NoNameScript 4.01 :: www.XLhost.de )") |
| 03:52:09 | saratoga | or i suppose in the case of mp3, several seeks as you go through the tag flavors it supports |
| 03:52:23 | linuxstb | Because it's too late - you need the metadata before the end of the file is buffered. |
| 03:52:31 | linuxstb | (to display in the WPS). |
| 03:52:59 | saratoga | that makes sense |

| 03:53:27 | saratoga | so a proper apev2 patch must somehow do the check for the apev2 tag and the check for id3v1 at the same time? |
| 03:54:16 | linuxstb | saratoga: I believe so. But id3v1 tags are only checked for when there is no id3v2 tag... |
| 03:54:43 | eigma | linuxstb: shoot, nevermind |
| 03:54:57 | linuxstb | eigma: OK. |

| 04:04:51 | saratoga | anyway, i have to get some sleep |

| 04:05:04 | saratoga | thanks for the info |
| 04:06:49 | eigma | okay, actually, what I want to do is run a local build server just for myself to make sure that my changes don't break anything |
| 04:07:14 | Soap | I know APE isn't "supposed" to be on MP3, but one of the popular programs (Foobar) used to default to ID3v1 and APE instead of ID3v1 and ID3v2. |
| 04:07:47 | Soap | And yes, I know that just because someone else did it wrong doesn't mean Rockbox should do it wrong as well. |
| 04:07:50 | Llorean | Used to, though. |
| 04:07:52 | saratoga | and mp3gain still does unfortunately |
| 04:08:37 | saratoga | which is annoying, since the two apps that support replaygain on windows both support APEV2 |
| 04:08:46 | | Quit saratoga ("CGI:IRC") |
| 04:08:53 | Soap | Foobar 0.8.3 even went so far as to default to removing ID3v2 and replacing them with APE whenever a file operation was performed. |
| 04:09:32 | Soap | Foobar 0.8.3 even would write ID3v2 replaygain tags, you just had to turn off the APE default. |
| 04:09:36 | Llorean | Isn't ID3v1 vs v2 the only case where we have multiple tagging formats support? |

| 09:01:37 | hermonski | guess i'd better start MY OWN mp3 company and out-sell ipods. that'll show them |

| 09:04:26 | circusbear | sanspatcher dosn't find my player |
| 09:04:38 | scorche | circusbear: you must follow the instructions in the wiki |
| 09:04:46 | B4gder | *EXACTLY* |
| 09:04:47 | circusbear | after extracting .rockbox into the player directory |
| 09:04:50 | GodEater | as I said in my reply to your post on the forums... |
| 09:05:01 | LinusN | circusbear: are you sure your player is set to MSC mode? |
| 09:05:20 | circusbear | whats wrong with this model? |
| 09:05:22 | scorche | be be warned...read all of it before you try, and if you are uncomfortable with any of it, do not install it as the recovery procedure is just as hard as installing rockbox |
| 09:05:30 | docgonzo | hm... when i plug in my sansa to my winxp box, the player shows the USB cable-icon, but windows doesn't make any attempt to detect it... |
| 09:05:53 | B4gder | circusbear: it is... slightly different |
| 09:05:53 | scorche | docgonzo: you must boot into the OF to connect |
| 09:05:57 | | Quit lazka (Remote closed the connection) |
| 09:05:59 | docgonzo | rockbox didn't seem that hard to install on the sansa player. |
| 09:06:13 | B4gder | don't confuse e200 with e200R |
| 09:06:15 | scorche | docgonzo: it is a different procedure for the Rs |
| 09:06:15 | B4gder | notice the R |
| 09:06:18 | docgonzo | AH... the OF firmware. how do you select which to boot when you first turn on the player. |
| 09:06:27 | scorche | hold << |
| 09:06:29 | docgonzo | yea, the e200 is pretty straight-forward from what i read/did. |
| 09:06:41 | docgonzo | the type -R for rahpsody, right? |
| 09:06:46 | docgonzo | **rhapsody |
| 09:06:52 | advcomp2019 | yep |
| 09:07:07 | docgonzo | i'm sure it's got some special DRM-crap for it, or something, right? |
| 09:07:24 | B4gder | exactly |
| 09:07:34 | LinusN | circusbear: what instructions did you follow? |
| 09:07:41 | docgonzo | scorche: how do you choose which firmware to boot at the player startup/boot? |
| 09:07:48 | circusbear | so where does it talk about how to instal with r |
| 09:07:50 | LinusN | these? http://www.rockbox.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/SansaE200RInstallationFromWindows |
| 09:08:05 | scorche | docgonzo: i just told you |

| 09:08:47 | GodEater | yeah, definitely don't start with the windows ones |
| 09:08:48 | advcomp2019 | in the forum circusbear says he has mac os |
| 09:09:06 | scorche | we already had one person do that step without the first step, and i dont wish for that to happen again |
| 09:09:16 | LinusN | i see |
| 09:09:47 | docgonzo | ah... i see; sorry, i thought it was a typographical error. |
| 09:10:00 | scorche | circusbear: follow my link and pay attention to that red text ;) |
| 09:11:21 | hermonski | thanks for answering my questions all. enjoy. :) |
| 09:11:37 | circusbear | can I do that first part on my mac? |
| 09:11:54 | | Part hermonski |
| 09:12:09 | scorche | circusbear: good question... |

| 09:14:40 | docgonzo | i'm running that video test on teh wiki with the elephant_dream mpeg. |
| 09:14:44 | scorche | then dont try =) |
| 09:14:46 | docgonzo | good stuff. neat animation. |
| 09:14:59 | GodEater | circusbear: if you can't do it, then you can't run rockbox on your sansa, so don't do any of the steps at all |
| 09:15:01 | docgonzo | i haven't tried to mount this player on my linux notebook. |
| 09:15:20 | | Quit Wiwie (Read error: 110 (Connection timed out)) |
| 09:15:49 | docgonzo | i got my ipod_mini to mount and read/write without trouble. i haven't tried it with the rockbox firmware... ::thinks:: maybe it would be worth trying on that player |
| 09:16:26 | GodEater | it won't mount whilst running rockbox, it'll just reboot into disk mode |
| 09:17:06 | docgonzo | so you will still need to boot the original firmware to access the disk? |
| 09:17:13 | circusbear | Could you work on a zip that has all that done |
| 09:17:13 | scorche | yes |
| 09:17:18 | GodEater | docgonzo: currently yes |
| 09:17:24 | circusbear | then you can extract it |
| 09:17:38 | GodEater | circusbear: if by "zip" you mean, "an easier install process", then yes - we are |
| 09:17:54 | GodEater | circusbear: we only got the R series working with Rockbox last week - it's still early days |

| 09:30:05 | LinusN | ddalton: not really |

| 10:03:07 | * | GodEater prefers the new page |
| 10:03:15 | scorche | JdGordon and i were thinking possibly the committers list, but we dont knwo if he watches it... |
| 10:03:25 | scorche | GodEater: oh, i do too...it just needs a few adjustments |
| 10:03:32 | pondlife | I like it all being on there, but would prefer the old subversion table (with comments) |
| 10:03:41 | scorche | mostly in the SVN table |
| 10:03:46 | pondlife | And prefer the tables to be below each other, not side-by-side. |
| 10:04:01 | GodEater | makes the page too long |
| 10:04:08 | morrijr | could they not be 'floated'? |
| 10:04:17 | GodEater | I prefer it like this, and a link to each for more detail |
| 10:04:20 | JdGordon | and the recent.html page should have bookmarks things so the links on the frontpage dont all link to the top of hte page |
| 10:04:22 | pondlife | Hmm, don't know what resolution you use, but I have to scroll both ways now |
| 10:04:50 | GodEater | 1280x1024 |
| 10:04:54 | scorche | make the SVN table as it was before, and i am largely fine |
| 10:04:57 | morrijr | pondlife: if they were floated then they'd stack if you've not got room |
| 10:05:31 | pondlife | Try it at 800x600... |
| 10:05:34 | morrijr | except for the fact that it's a very heavy table layout :( |
| 10:05:42 | scorche | pondlife: eek...really? |
| 10:05:46 | GodEater | pondlife: I wouldn't dream of it |
| 10:05:50 | GodEater | that's a daft res to run |
| 10:05:52 | morrijr | with nested tables :( |
| 10:06:01 | pondlife | Oh, yes. I'm seriously not good in the eyesight dept. |
| 10:06:04 | GodEater | morrijr: no-one uses nested tables any more :) |
| 10:06:08 | aliask | And at 1280 there's a big gap on the side |
| 10:06:14 | GodEater | pondlife: get a bigger monitor! |
| 10:06:17 | morrijr | GodEater: take a look at the code... |
| 10:06:25 | GodEater | morrijr: hence the ":)" |
| 10:06:33 | morrijr | ah |
| 10:06:52 | GodEater | morrijr: it *should* be done with <div> tags |
| 10:06:54 | pondlife | I'll try 1280x1024 - my monitors are capable of it. |
| 10:07:11 | morrijr | GodEater: agreed. I thought it was when I first saw it |

| 10:08:09 | k-man_ | i want to get rockbox to read the ipod files/database |
| 10:08:12 | k-man_ | how do i enable that? |
| 10:08:30 | aliask | Someone needs to make an AJAX web 2.0 streaming live update frontpage :) |
| 10:08:32 | GodEater | k-man_: it won't read the ipod database |
| 10:08:40 | pondlife | Hmm, at 1280x1024 it looks better laid out. Pity the font sizes are fixed (or don't follow whatever IE does when you specify "Largest" font). |
| 10:08:43 | GodEater | k-man_: but you can get it to read the ipod files - just look in the manual |
| 10:08:47 | scorche | pixelma: it has a bit of empty space in 1600x1200 |
| 10:08:48 | JdGordon | pixelma: at 1680x1050 it looks pretty bad |
| 10:09:02 | scorche | but as long as teh SVN table is back tot he way it was, i am happy |
| 10:09:15 | pixelma | in my eyes it already looks bad at 1280x1024... |
| 10:09:25 | k-man_ | GodEater: oh, ok |
| 10:09:48 | pixelma | and I've been told "just don't browse full-screen"... |
| 10:10:00 | pondlife | If the tables were below each other, and just used the entire width, that would be KISS too. Sponsors could go back on the right too... (almost back the old layout though!) |
| 10:10:37 | k-man_ | GodEater: ok, ill check that |
| 10:10:41 | JdGordon | also, shouldnt the recent posts from the forum go on the frontpage also? |
| 10:10:49 | GodEater | too much information all on the front page is not KISS |
| 10:11:00 | pixelma | pondlife: read Friday evening's (early Saturday's) log |
| 10:11:06 | pondlife | Will do |
| 10:11:30 | k-man_ | GodEater: what section should i look in for info on that? |

| 10:12:51 | k-man_ | so i loaded a whole bunch of songs onto the ipod using itunes, should i just run the update now so that rockbox finds them? |
| 10:12:52 | pondlife | GodEater: I wouldn't object to removing the tables from the front page completely - just have the top 5 MajorChanges/news items maybe? Sooper-simple. |
| 10:13:05 | GodEater | pondlife: that would be nicer I think |
| 10:13:31 | GodEater | for everyone that wants to see all those tables, having the page they're on as a favourite wouldn't be too onerous I don't think |
| 10:13:41 | GodEater | but I don't think it's great to have them all on the front page |
| 10:13:42 | pondlife | Then have a recent changes page like the current home page, but with the data laid out like before (i.e. SVN comments) |
| 10:13:49 | GodEater | but last time I ventured that opinion Llorean shouted at me :) |
| 10:14:06 | pondlife | Currently it's neither simpler nor more useful (to me) |
| 10:14:14 | pondlife | But I'll read the logs and re-understand. |
| 10:14:47 | pixelma | for people who prefer the last version of the "old look" http://www.rockbox.org/main_old.shtml ;:P |
| 10:14:48 | pondlife | I don't (yet) use a screen reader, but wonder how well JAWS would cope with the current layout. |
| 10:14:54 | Llorean | GodEater: Which opinion? |
| 10:15:05 | GodEater | Llorean: that we should have a more user friendly front page :) |
| 10:15:09 | pondlife | pixelma: Thanks! |
| 10:15:13 | GodEater | less developer focused |
| 10:15:14 | Llorean | I'm all for more user friendly |
| 10:15:34 | GodEater | I wish I'd kept the logs - but you most definitely didn't have that opinion last time the subject came up |
| 10:15:39 | pondlife | Two front pages, one for users (ww.rockbox.org) and one for devs? |
| 10:15:42 | Llorean | I ust don't think that less developer focused is a necessary corollary to it. |
| 10:16:07 | JdGordon | pondlife: the dev frontpage just needs the svn changlog on the build table page |
| 10:17:02 | * | GodEater thinks the now empty top right corner should feature a nice screenshot of Rockbox in action |
| 10:17:13 | pondlife | I don't think the mailing list needs to be on any front page really; it's already very accessible via mail/news/RSS. |
| 10:17:29 | pondlife | Plus the web (or course) |
| 10:17:51 | Llorean | I think the SVN commits are 100% useless without comments, as developers will want to know why those files changed, and users will either make random guesses, or just not care. |
| 10:18:06 | GodEater | I think the latter for users |
| 10:18:20 | GodEater | I'd like to see the forums have an RSS feed to |
| 10:18:20 | Llorean | GodEater: Depends on the user |
| 10:18:28 | GodEater | 95% of users then |
| 10:18:37 | JdGordon | even users would find the commit message more useful than just the file changed |
| 10:18:38 | Llorean | We've got enough people who speak up any time ipodpatcher.c changes, or whatever. |
| 10:19:07 | GodEater | are we still estimating about 30,000 users ? |
| 10:19:20 | Llorean | No clue |
| 10:19:24 | pondlife | Users would find the comments useful, but not the filenames, I'd think. |
| 10:19:27 | * | GodEater seems to recall this figure mentioned recently |
| 10:19:36 | gammy | I think I count as two or three . |
| 10:19:43 | GodEater | pondlife: you think "Oops" is useful ? :) |
| 10:19:44 | gammy | Considering how much I like it ^_^ |
| 10:19:58 | pondlife | GodEater: Yes! It means don't download! |
| 10:20:04 | GodEater | hehe |
| 10:20:16 | GodEater | pondlife: no it doesn't - it means don't download the commit from before the oops surely ? |
| 10:20:17 | scorche | GodEater: that was a random number i pulled out of...well...somewhere, but it is my guess (likely way off) |
| 10:20:29 | pondlife | That's what I mean |
| 10:20:37 | GodEater | I think it's a reasonable guess |
| 10:20:57 | JdGordon | GodEater: we dont really have all that many oops commits.... |
| 10:20:58 | Llorean | GodEater: http://forums.rockbox.org//index.php?type=rss;action=.xml;limit=20 |
| 10:21:14 | GodEater | Llorean: neat - it was already there and I didn't know ? |
| 10:21:26 | Llorean | Yeah, I didn't know until 2 minutes ago |
| 10:21:40 | Llorean | GodEater: http://www.scribbledesigns.co.uk/2007/01/23/get-rss-feeds-for-any-simple-machines-forum/ |
| 10:21:49 | Llorean | You can customize the URL a bit to add various constraints or whatnot |
| 10:22:13 | JdGordon | $ svn log | grep oops | wc -l |
| 10:22:13 | JdGordon | 191 |
| 10:22:15 | JdGordon | :p |
| 10:22:29 | * | GodEater adds it to google reader |
| 10:22:38 | GodEater | JdGordon: "grep -i" please |
| 10:22:58 | JdGordon | 336 |
| 10:23:06 | GodEater | that's better :) |
| 10:23:08 | JdGordon | -i is case insensitive i guess? |
| 10:23:13 | GodEater | yes |
| 10:23:23 | GodEater | and now your typos please "Ops" and "Ooops" ? |
| 10:23:25 | GodEater | :) |
| 10:23:31 | Llorean | I think the front page could settle for four things: A paragraph describing what Rockbox is/does (shortened Why Rockbox) including a link to the players it runs on, MajorChanges, News, and Sponsors. |
| 10:23:39 | petur | and add to that 'fix red', 'fix yellow', ... |
| 10:23:54 | Llorean | At the very bottom of the front page could also be the actual SVN commits, out of sight of any "user" who doesn't scroll down |
| 10:24:01 | GodEater | petur: lets have that as a proper regexp then |
| 10:24:07 | | Join obo [0] (n=obo@rockbox/developer/obo) |
| 10:24:16 | GodEater | I still think we should include a screenshot too |
| 10:24:33 | GodEater | possibly a randomly selected one from "themes" that changes whenever someone visits :) |
| 10:24:43 | pondlife | I agree. But maybe after we've updated the default theme :) |
| 10:24:49 | petur | let's make an animated gif from some themes.... |
| 10:24:52 | Llorean | GodEater: Above the sponsors, top right corner? |
| 10:24:58 | GodEater | yep |
| 10:25:02 | pondlife | petur: No animation, please. |
| 10:25:19 | GodEater | pondlife: no no - not after we've updated the default theme. That means "Never" :) |
| 10:25:23 | * | JdGordon fails @ regexp |
| 10:25:26 | pondlife | Hence my :) |
| 10:25:48 | pondlife | Seriously, some dictator should just update the default theme. |
| 10:26:02 | JdGordon | GodEater: thats what I was tihnking, a random screeny would be cool |
| 10:26:05 | GodEater | yeah - it's clear democracy is not needed there |
| 10:26:13 | GodEater | it just fails completely |
| 10:26:14 | pondlife | I have no strong opinion other than the current one is unimpressive. |
| 10:26:25 | GodEater | unimpressive is a kind thing to say about it :) |
| 10:26:30 | pondlife | Indeed |
| 10:26:37 | * | JdGordon likes the cabbie theme |
| 10:26:51 | GodEater | "massively underwhelming" would be my choice |
| 10:26:58 | JdGordon | if we want the default to look about the same on most targets |
| 10:27:05 | * | GodEater wonders if *anyone* keeps the default except blind people |
| 10:27:20 | pondlife | amiconn? |
| 10:27:22 | pondlife | :) |
| 10:27:24 | GodEater | hehehe |
| 10:27:26 | GodEater | ssssh |
| 10:27:57 | aliask | I think the default theme should at LEAST have the peakmeters removed on swcodecs |
| 10:28:04 | * | pondlife updates his sim with jhMikeS and amiconn's good work |
| 10:28:08 | * | petur wonders why icatcher never made it to default - it exists for most targets |
| 10:28:16 | JdGordon | aliask: why? they arnt a problem on all targets |
| 10:28:17 | Llorean | aliask: Why, they work on 6 of the swcodec targets, at least |
| 10:28:18 | GodEater | yeah, iCatcher is a good enough default |
| 10:28:25 | * | pondlife agrees |
| 10:28:32 | GodEater | Llorean: but they suck :) |
| 10:28:39 | aliask | Because I get CPU issues on my ipod mini on high bitrate files |
| 10:28:51 | JdGordon | btw, are we talking about a new hard coded default? or just a default for the config file? |
| 10:28:57 | Llorean | aliask: And the iPod (or portalplayer in general) suffers from "performance problems" |
| 10:28:58 | pondlife | People who want peak meters can easily select a new theme. |
| 10:29:18 | GodEater | they don't seem a popular choice for inclusion by most theme authors |
| 10:29:19 | petur | JdGordon: default for config file |
| 10:29:32 | JdGordon | ok then, goodd :) |
| 10:29:36 | Llorean | GodEater: I honestly think that's because they're not themable, and the majority of themes are made for iPods. |
| 10:29:50 | petur | GodEater: because they are ugly? |
| 10:29:54 | Llorean | GodEater: I've seen several requests for them to be vertical, or other things like that. |
| 10:30:01 | | Join skate3214 [0] (n=chatzill@C-59-101-11-32.hay.connect.net.au) |
| 10:30:06 | JdGordon | the default should maybe look as close to the OF as possible.. so we can convert people and they wont realise :p |
| 10:30:13 | GodEater | all those are good reasons to remove them from the default IMHO |
| 10:30:18 | aliask | JdGordon: I disagree |
| 10:30:28 | GodEater | I disagree with that too |
| 10:30:43 | aliask | Or are you trying to go for the "install it on peoples mp3 players while they aren't looking" approach? |
| 10:30:50 | Llorean | I think that whatever theme is chosen as the default, peakmeters shouldn't really factor in beyond "how do they look as part of it" |
| 10:30:54 | pondlife | The RB virus? |
| 10:30:58 | amiconn | GodEater: I keep the default on most of my targets because (1) I'm too lazy to make my own wps and (2) imo none of the shipped or posted wps'es are better than the default |
| 10:31:09 | pondlife | Hmm, iCatcher seems set up for Album Art, no? |
| 10:31:15 | amiconn | I just select a somewhat larger (and proportional) font |
| 10:31:17 | GodEater | I think I owe pondlife a fiver |
| 10:31:34 | GodEater | not that I was really betting against him |
| 10:31:59 | pondlife | I'll arm wrestle you for that fiver |
| 10:32:06 | GodEater | k |
| 10:32:10 | pondlife | Grnnnnnnnnn |
| 10:32:15 | GodEater | gloves off this time, I'm not giving you a head start |
| 10:32:16 | amiconn | And I like wps'es that include peakmeters |
| 10:32:24 | pondlife | Mmmmrrfff |
| 10:32:29 | GodEater | *yawn* |
| 10:32:30 | pondlife | <click> |
| 10:32:42 | pondlife | OK, just dislocated this time. |
| 10:32:44 | pondlife | Not so bad. |
| 10:32:49 | GodEater | nice, I'll put that back in for you |
| 10:32:53 | * | pondlife clicks it back in. |
| 10:33:17 | amiconn | At least the default has all info I want, and doesn't take ages to load |
| 10:33:21 | | Quit Hadaka (Read error: 60 (Operation timed out)) |
| 10:33:38 | GodEater | define ages ? |
| 10:33:48 | pondlife | amiconn: You'd be free to have that still. But it's the reaction of new users that concerns me. |
| 10:34:17 | pondlife | I've failed to convert 2 friends now, it's quite unfortunate (for them, mainly) |
| 10:34:38 | pondlife | One primarily on the UI, one on the iPod battery life, really. |
| 10:34:45 | amiconn | On 2nd gen I use iCatcher because peakmeters aren't so good on PP5002. But iCatcher is annoying in several respects: (1) excessive load time (2) the graphical format indicators mess up (3) no disk indicator |
| 10:34:46 | * | GodEater wonders if that's more to do with pondlife spouting on about all the bugs in playback.c |
| 10:34:58 | pondlife | Hah, no. I keep quiet about them |
| 10:35:10 | | Quit skate3214 ("ChatZilla 0.9.78.1 [Firefox 2.0.0.6/2007073113]") |
| 10:35:10 | GodEater | nearly un-converted me when you did |
| 10:35:11 | GodEater | :) |
| 10:35:19 | JdGordon | hang on... if we ship with default themes... do we want all targets to look the same-ish? |
| 10:35:23 | pondlife | You're a dev, you should be able to take it. |
| 10:35:30 | pondlife | JdGordon: Yes |
| 10:35:33 | GodEater | well given I hadn't even noticed them - yes :) |
| 10:35:35 | pondlife | But with sensible font sizes |
| 10:35:39 | Llorean | JdGordon: there's two kinds of "same". Same image, but scaled, or same style. |
| 10:35:42 | JdGordon | that limits our options a fair bit then |
| 10:35:43 | Llorean | I'd lean toward same style |
| 10:36:14 | pondlife | The Player will probably be excluded from any change... |
| 10:36:21 | JdGordon | amiconn: for a default I dont think load time is a big deal.. more users are put off by the look than the load time |
| 10:36:22 | GodEater | the competition we had in the forums pretty much failed |
| 10:36:30 | Llorean | Same general presentation of information, but for example, on particularly short screens maybe no "Next Song" information, on very tall ones (Portrait) some additional lines that would be "fluff" |
| 10:36:32 | JdGordon | especially coming from OF's where it takes a full minute to be usable |
| 10:36:41 | | Quit t0mas ("*runs off to work*") |
| 10:36:46 | Llorean | GodEater: It provided the beginnings of one. =/ |
| 10:36:52 | GodEater | Llorean: yes - one |
| 10:37:02 | Llorean | I think load time should still be an important point. |
| 10:37:10 | GodEater | and I don't think it was nearly as good as iCatcher or Rockboxed |
| 10:37:24 | GodEater | my only issue with Rockboxed was it was too orange |
| 10:37:27 | GodEater | otherwise it was a good theme |
| 10:37:51 | GodEater | if he'd inverted the palette it would have been better |
| 10:37:52 | Llorean | Honestly, probably the best thing we can do is take the current default, strip the peakmeters, and frame it in a nice looking backdrop. |
| 10:37:55 | pondlife | How come iCatcher and Rockboxed aren't on http://www.rockbox-themes.org/? |
| 10:38:08 | Llorean | pondlife: iCatcher is always included... |
| 10:38:29 | GodEater | isn't Rockboxed too these days ? |
| 10:38:35 | Llorean | But honestly, one really good looking backdrop can make a huge difference going from "But it's just text on a screen" to "Hey, that looks rather nice" |
| 10:38:36 | JdGordon | Llorean: and larger fonts and nice icons |
| 10:38:41 | Llorean | JdGordon: Yes. |
| 10:38:53 | Llorean | Colored icons for color targets, larger fonts for most screens, and a backdrop for the main WPS |
| 10:39:03 | Llorean | I can't imagine a backdrop making too huge a difference in load time, since it's a single file. |
| 10:39:19 | GodEater | so anyway - this discussion just proves my point, and we should stick to randomly selected theme images on the front page :) |
| 10:39:33 | Llorean | Oh, and on color or grayscale targets, a progress bar image. |
| 10:39:43 | pondlife | Or, it proves my point that we need a dictator! |
| 10:39:51 | GodEater | though it should probably be from an "elite" subset of all themes |
| 10:39:57 | * | Llorean votes himself dictator. |
| 10:39:57 | JdGordon | VIVA LA DICTATOR! |
| 10:39:58 | GodEater | since some of them suck |
| 10:40:13 | Llorean | GodEater: Yeah, whatever's rotated on the front page should be hand selected, not random |
| 10:40:26 | pondlife | The Soap-seal of approval should be mandated at least. |
| 10:40:51 | GodEater | yeah - they should install from RBUtil cleanly |
| 10:41:21 | * | pondlife would like to see the non-compliant themes removed from the wiki anyway, plus the sucky mono-on-colour-target ones |
| 10:41:44 | Llorean | pondlife: Um, why should mono-on-color-target be removed, just because you don't think they're pretty? |
| 10:41:51 | GodEater | there's no accounting for taste pondlife |
| 10:42:06 | * | JdGordon votes the orange/yellow version of http://www.rockbox-themes.org/data/176x220x16/Passion.png |
| 10:42:07 | pondlife | True, but they are the sort of thing that gives Rockbox a bad name, IMHO |
| 10:42:10 | scorche | pondlife: all themes will eventually be abolished |
| 10:42:14 | Llorean | Rockboxed, a rather popular theme herabouts, is essentially mono-on-color. |
| 10:42:31 | pondlife | Yes, but at least it has a colour setting. |
| 10:42:42 | pondlife | Mad Big Sausage, anyone? |
| 10:43:02 | Llorean | How does an optional theme give Rockbox a bad name, unless someone goes around saying "This is what Rockbox looks like"? |
| 10:43:10 | GodEater | yeah - lets leave them be |
| 10:43:16 | pondlife | It does if it's on the front page |
| 10:43:16 | GodEater | but just not "advertise" them on the front page |
| 10:43:22 | pondlife | That's what I mean |
| 10:43:30 | Llorean | Anyway, anyone up to volunteering to create some nice looking backdrops for the default theme sans peakmeters, at differing font sizes by screen size? :-P |
| 10:43:36 | GodEater | pondlife: well we already said we'd hand pick whatever gets displayed there |
| 10:43:54 | scorche | why are we thinking if displaying themes there? |
| 10:43:58 | scorche | of |
| 10:44:09 | Llorean | scorche: There's a big empty space in the top right corner, and people always ask "What does it look like?" |
| 10:44:11 | JdGordon | http://www.rockbox.org/twiki/pub/Main/WpsSansaE200/RettumBox.png is the one im tihnkign of |
| 10:44:14 | amiconn | JdGordon: I'm way more impressed by zippy operation than by looks. I have nothing against good looks, but performance and usability always come first |
| 10:44:29 | * | aliask votes for Rocker (e200 theme) |
| 10:44:38 | scorche | Llorean: then we forward them to themes.rockbox.org...i dont know about showing a theme on the front page... |
| 10:44:40 | Llorean | amiconn: How do you feel about default+backdrop then? Think it's slow things down too much? |
| 10:44:43 | JdGordon | amiconn: I agree, but users wont care if it takes an extra second to boot if it looks better by default hen the current |
| 10:44:50 | Llorean | scorche: Why not, as long as it's an official-build theme? |
| 10:44:55 | aliask | But it has no license, and only one target |
| 10:45:07 | scorche | Llorean: i just am not sure if that belongs on the front page |
| 10:45:07 | * | JdGordon slaps aliask, thats a horrible theme :p |
| 10:45:21 | aliask | Horrible?! |
| 10:45:28 | GodEater | probably stating the obvious - but NO album art ones either! |
| 10:45:30 | aliask | Are we thinking of the same one? |
| 10:45:35 | Llorean | scorche: I think "What does it run on?" "What does it do?" are both important things for the front page, and "What does it do?" includes "What does it look like?" |
| 10:45:44 | JdGordon | aliask: just different tastes... |
| 10:46:17 | GodEater | I can't even see Rocker on rockbox-themes |
| 10:46:27 | GodEater | Llorean: absolutely |
| 10:46:34 | aliask | GodEater: http://www.rockbox.org/twiki/bin/viewfile/Main/WpsSansaE200?rev=1;filename=rocker.png |
| 10:46:48 | scorche | Llorean: yes, but i dont know if just a random picture of a theme will work for that... |
| 10:46:59 | Llorean | GodEater: But I think "What does it run on" can be linked to from the shortened "What does it do" paragraph |
| 10:47:06 | GodEater | scorche: we get to pick which "random" ones will show though |
| 10:47:18 | Llorean | scorche: We were talking about a rotating picture of say our favorite half dozen to dozen themes that work with an official build |
| 10:47:20 | * | pondlife guiltily likes the phkTAPE theme... clever, if not that practical. |
| 10:47:31 | scorche | Llorean: and what device? |
| 10:47:33 | * | Llorean rather likes the one that looks like it was written in pencil |
| 10:47:42 | GodEater | scorche: I think we should pick a selection |
| 10:47:49 | GodEater | not just confine to one device |
| 10:47:51 | Llorean | scorche: My preference is for iPod Video, since 320x240 offers good visibility |
| 10:48:06 | Llorean | GodEater: We probably should, otherwise the box will be varying sizes |
| 10:48:13 | Llorean | Unless we pad smaller images, and skip the Gigabeat |
| 10:48:22 | GodEater | Llorean: I think padding won't be too tricky |
| 10:48:30 | GodEater | and why skip the gigabeat ? |
| 10:48:35 | scorche | Llorean: but then we leave out other great themes and are saying "if you want your theme to possibly have a chance of being on the front page, make it for the ipod video" |
| 10:48:59 | Llorean | GodEater: Unless you use a 320x320 box |
| 10:49:19 | JdGordon | either the video or the gigabeat.. depends which one fits better in the space |
| 10:49:29 | Llorean | More than half the height of poor Pondlife's screen... |
| 10:49:29 | GodEater | Llorean: since we're only offering a sample - I don't think we need to avoid scaling the images either - although I may change my mind |
| 10:49:49 | GodEater | pondlife needs to buy a bigger monitor |
| 10:49:51 | Llorean | scorche: Honestly, they're going to make their themes for their player first anyway. |
| 10:50:02 | Llorean | scorche: And the Video has the widest selection |
| 10:50:03 | pondlife | GodEater: My monitors are pretty big already, sadly |
| 10:50:19 | GodEater | pondlife: 28" already ? :) |
| 10:50:26 | pondlife | Hah, no |
| 10:50:38 | pondlife | But my desk isn't big enough for those, nor my room! |
| 10:50:50 | scorche | a "Here is what Rockbox can look like:" link would satisfy that fine, but i am still wary of this way |
| 10:51:07 | Llorean | scorche: Anything we want to be sure users sees needs to not be hidden behind a link, and hopefully be flashy |
| 10:51:23 | GodEater | scorche: what's your problem with it ? |
| 10:51:28 | Llorean | A rotating image would do it. We could include all bitmap players except the Gigabeat, I suppose. |
| 10:51:36 | aliask | On the topic of themes and soforth, does a standard install come with any icon themes? |
| 10:51:37 | pondlife | Nothing animated, please. |
| 10:51:52 | pondlife | Just a random one, each refresh? |
| 10:51:55 | GodEater | pondlife: rotating as in "it appears different when you hit refresh" |
| 10:51:59 | pondlife | Ah, ok |
| 10:51:59 | Llorean | pondlife: That's what I had in mind. |
| 10:52:09 | GodEater | animated would be horrible |
| 10:52:49 | GodEater | is it worth putting out a call for people to submit designs of the front page at Rockbox in the forums ? With the caveat that we reserve the right to reject all of them if we don't like them ? |
| 10:53:07 | pondlife | No, this needs a dictator. |
| 10:53:30 | GodEater | pondlife: the decision could still be taken by a dictator |
| 10:53:37 | GodEater | but we might end up with something we really like |
| 10:53:40 | scorche | GodEater: people perhaps not realizing it is a random image, favoritizing one player, the general idea |
| 10:53:41 | GodEater | and we won't know unless we ask |
| 10:53:42 | pondlife | It would end up like the theme competition... unfinished. |
| 10:53:54 | GodEater | pondlife: maybe - but there's no harm in trying right ? |
| 10:54:03 | pondlife | OK, go for it |
| 10:54:05 | GodEater | and we can still change what we have currently in the meantime |
| 10:54:09 | *** | Saving seen data "./dancer.seen" |
| 10:54:14 | Llorean | GodEater: I'd wait on that |
| 10:54:15 | GodEater | we need to set rules for how it's done too |
| 10:54:23 | Llorean | Right now there's no guarantee the front page will be changed. |
| 10:54:26 | GodEater | somewhat like the slashdot redesign |
| 10:54:34 | GodEater | Llorean: still doesn't hurt I don't think |
| 10:54:49 | GodEater | if we put it "we don't guarantee to select anything" it doesn't matter |
| 10:54:56 | Llorean | It might become like the logo thing, though |
| 10:55:06 | GodEater | I don't think it will |
| 10:55:07 | pondlife | I'd rather see effort put into (a) setting up a set of rules for suitable themes (Soap-SOA would probably do) and (b) collecting all suitable themes together (on rockbox-themes.org, preferably). |
| 10:55:15 | Llorean | People keep bringing it up, and kinda frustrating a few key people who don't think it should change, and have the dictatorship to say so |
| 10:55:20 | GodEater | putting a well designed web page together is a much more serious undertaking |
| 10:55:29 | scorche | pondlife: "suitable"? |
| 10:55:38 | scorche | pondlife: what is this for? |
| 10:55:40 | GodEater | the logo design thing is a bit too easy to do |
| 10:55:40 | Llorean | pondlife: This was decided long ago, and rockbox-themes.org is almost finished being prepared to become an official site with official themes. |
| 10:55:56 | pondlife | Indeed, but there are some missing themes. |
| 10:56:16 | GodEater | I'd say we'd like the page done in proper CSS layout style, and must include features X, Y and Z |
| 10:56:18 | pondlife | Suitable... say, works on all targets with no patches required. |
| 10:56:30 | scorche | pondlife: it will be born anew with tabula rasa |
| 10:56:55 | GodEater | working on all targets is a tall order for a lot of themes |
| 10:56:56 | Llorean | pondlife: Authors will have to resubmit, as we're requiring a stated license now. |
| 10:57:15 | Llorean | But there's no all-target requirement, just patch-free for the main section |
| 10:57:16 | pondlife | License too.. |
| 10:57:17 | | Quit JdGordon ("Konversation terminated!") |

| 11:00 |
| 11:00:15 | GodEater | is the current page generated with perl ? |
| 11:00:51 | scorche | which current page? |
| 11:02:11 | Llorean | scorche: "Do you have you a theme that is not listed on this site?" sounds like people should submit any theme they have, even other peoples'... was that what was intended? |
| 11:02:31 | scorche | no |
| 11:02:43 | Llorean | Didn't think so, but I haven't been paying much attention |
| 11:03:38 | GodEater | scorche: www.rockbox.org |

| 11:06:19 | JdGordon | amiconn: even 5s is no big deal for the first boot imho |
| 11:06:57 | Llorean | JdGordon: 5s is a lot for boots. |

| 11:08:09 | Llorean | GodEater: Before you post that, do you know *why* we're not using CSS for layout, or why the menu on the left is not collapsible? |
| 11:08:12 | scorche | and from what it is sounding like, it wont be a "best of rockbox themes"...it would be a "best of ipod video rockbox themes" |
| 11:08:14 | GodEater | scorche: I don't think having it as Web 2.0 is a bad thing provide the design *includes* the work necessary |
| 11:08:33 | Llorean | scorche: No, it's solely my suggestion that they be ipv themes. |
| 11:08:36 | GodEater | Llorean: I assume because it's tough to generate it from the perl that runs currently |
| 11:08:57 | JdGordon | nothing is tough for perl |
| 11:09:12 | Llorean | GodEater: Might want to check for the reasoning first. No sense asking for submissions that will be objected for any technical reason already extant. |
| 11:09:41 | Llorean | scorche: I don't know why you're so touchy about having any themes displayed on the front page. You seem to be upset that we want them there at all. |
| 11:10:16 | scorche | Llorean: that is putting it a little strong...i just dont like the idea much |
| 11:10:20 | GodEater | Llorean: given that I want to ask for submissions to include the underlying code too I'm not so worried about it |
| 11:10:33 | GodEater | someone just submitting a photoshop'd front page isn't taking it seriously enough ;) |
| 11:10:49 | scorche | GodEater: people might be a little angry if they put a lot of work into it and get shot down entirely (even with warnings) =) |
| 11:11:09 | GodEater | scorche: since when do we care about angry forum users ? ;) |
| 11:11:17 | aliask | haha |
| 11:11:27 | scorche | GodEater: jerk! |
| 11:11:28 | amiconn | JdGordon: It's not the first boot, but every boot. And 5 seconds is around the same as the rest of the boot time, so it's quite annoying |
| 11:11:38 | * | GodEater polishes his "Jerk" badge |
| 11:11:47 | Llorean | GodEater: I'd say wait until the swedes are around, and find out why certain things are the way they are before posting. |
| 11:12:09 | amiconn | It will be less annoying when I have suspend working though |
| 11:12:54 | * | amiconn is always annoyed by boot times. Ideally a dap should boot in <1 second |
| 11:13:01 | linuxstb | amiconn: Regarding wps loading time, if you get chance, could you test the bmp-in-tar patch that's on flyspray? It works, but when both Nico_P and I tested it, it didn't give any noticable speedup, so we didn't try and finish it and commit it. But WPSs load fast (a lot faster than you're reporting) for me anyway (disk fragmentation?). It's FS 6571 |
| 11:13:11 | Llorean | GodEater: One very, very important thing should be to stress that they should strive to make it accessible. |
| 11:13:34 | scorche | i dont know how accessible collapsible menus are |
| 11:13:40 | amiconn | linuxstb: It might be fragmentation plus the older generation 1.8" ´hdds being slow at seeking |
| 11:13:51 | GodEater | Llorean: you mean for unsighted people for example |
| 11:13:51 | amiconn | (my 2nd gen has an MK2003GAH) |
| 11:13:58 | Llorean | GodEater: Exactly. |
| 11:14:01 | GodEater | scorche: they're only unaccessible if you collapse them |
| 11:14:12 | JdGordon | amiconn: it would only affect the boot time untill its changed.. the idea is to set the default in the config, so you could still go back to the current default |
| 11:14:16 | GodEater | so the default (should you choose to use them) should not be to have anything hidden |
| 11:14:21 | Llorean | And collapsible menus that don't start collapsed are little good. :-P |
| 11:14:30 | GodEater | I disagree |
| 11:14:35 | Llorean | I don't think there's enough content on that sidebar to make them so, though. |
| 11:14:37 | GodEater | the /. redesign used them |
| 11:14:53 | GodEater | and they start out fully displayed, I simple collapse the ones I don't use very often |
| 11:14:56 | amiconn | JdGordon: I was thinking about a default that's actually usable |
| 11:14:59 | GodEater | but as you say, it may not even be necessary |
| 11:15:07 | GodEater | we'll leave that to the designer |
| 11:15:19 | * | GodEater is still modifying his draft post with these suggestions btw. |

| 11:17:46 | Llorean | JdGordon: 5 seconds every boot is unusable to some of us. |
| 11:17:56 | amiconn | First I didn't. Your remark regarding "only the first boot" lead me to |
| 11:18:06 | Llorean | The default should strive to be as nice looking as possible with as low a boot time hit as possible |

| 11:18:55 | markun | and didn't get a reply |
| 11:19:04 | * | GodEater wonders if he should specify that we would allow (for example) PHP submissions if the designer felt he could make it work better that way |
| 11:19:51 | aliask | I'm tempted to post on the forums, but I'd prefer a private dialogue... |

| 11:21:32 | LinusN | GodEater: what exactly are the problems with the current design? |
| 11:22:45 | JdGordon_ | the commit message isnt shown! |
| 11:23:11 | LinusN | that sucks imho |
| 11:23:17 | scorche | LinusN: my main issue is the svn table |
| 11:24:04 | markun | aliask: maybe you can post on the forum and make it a general GPLv2 vs GPLv3 question |
| 11:24:05 | GodEater | LinusN: I don't know that there are problems per se, I just thought it might be nice to see some alternative designs submitted. Someone might come up with something so gobsmackingly good, we really really like it |
| 11:24:35 | GodEater | The forums do have a certain population of people who claim to be web developers who've offered their services previously - this gives them something to do |

| 11:25:08 | GodEater | LinusN: do you think that's a bad idea ? |
| 11:25:32 | LinusN | the problem is that "web design" to many equals "cool graphic design", and not necessarily "effectively conveying planty of information" |
| 11:25:40 | LinusN | plenty |
| 11:26:01 | Llorean | I think that with the addition of a "recent activity" page, the front page ought to be streamlined but that's it. |
| 11:26:12 | GodEater | LinusN: this is why I'm trying to layout a set of rules for what MUST be included |
| 11:26:15 | Llorean | And as a few have said, the target list can be put on a separate page, preferably with pictures and such |
| 11:26:55 | LinusN | what we primarily need is a way to structure the information on the front page in a good way |

| 11:27:08 | GodEater | LinusN: in the end, if someone submits something which is all sizzle, and not useful - then we just reject it |
| 11:27:39 | JdGordon_ | linuxstb: ping? |
| 11:27:43 | pondlife | It would save them wasting their time if we can set some groundrules though |
| 11:28:01 | LinusN | exactly |
| 11:28:02 | GodEater | in my opinion a good web designer *knows* that a web page is about information display, and not just about the "ZOMG" factor |
| 11:28:16 | linuxstb | Llorean: I didn't have a problem with the SVN table on the front page - as long as it's at the bottom of the front page. It's the content above the SVN table that's most important. |
| 11:28:29 | GodEater | http://pastebin.ca/689882 <−− updated again |
| 11:29:07 | Llorean | linuxstb: Yeah, that's about how I feel |
| 11:29:39 | bowl | Any RB web site admins here? Would it be possible to add anchors on the recent.html page? So that it's possible to jump right to the desired place via bookmarks? And one more thing: I think, the Subversion block on the front page should contain not the files changed but rather the comment. Has this already been discussed? If yes, I appologize for bringing this up. |

| 11:31:11 | LinusN | bowl: we are discussing it now |
| 11:31:25 | linuxstb | Shouldn't we agree _what_ should be on the page before asking people to design a layout around it? |
| 11:31:36 | LinusN | linuxstb: of course |

| 11:33:32 | GodEater | linuxstb: if you have suggestions for my list that I've not included then please let me know |
| 11:33:34 | Llorean | GodEater: I'm thinking something more like this, though a little less ugly, and a little more "sponsors on the right" http://llorean.dyndns.org/rockbox/mockup/Rockbox%20-%20Open%20Source%20Jukebox%20Firmware.html |
| 11:33:57 | Llorean | A simplified version of what we had before. |
| 11:34:01 | JdGordon_ | linuxstb: no worries, I actually pinged you to get the url of the exe.. but found it already |
| 11:34:02 | pondlife | Merge the news and major changes into one table? |
| 11:34:20 | Llorean | pondlife: Seems logical |
| 11:34:31 | pondlife | But watch out for duplicates! |
| 11:34:45 | GodEater | Llorean: you can submit that to the competition when I post it then ;) |
| 11:34:59 | amiconn | JdGordon_: Iiuc you need both the filter driver installed, and the device driver associated with the sansa while it's in manufacturing mode, in ordre3 to make libusb access it |
| 11:35:04 | pondlife | Sponsors back on the right, and add the SVN comments... |
| 11:35:13 | linuxstb | What about the recent mail and recent wiki - I'm not sure we need those on the front page as well. |
| 11:35:19 | Llorean | pondlife: Yes. Sorry, that was the work of about 30 seconds cutting things out. |
| 11:35:19 | JdGordon_ | amiconn: we were under the impression you didnt need the filter driver |
| 11:35:45 | pondlife | Llorean: I think I'm saying we'd be back to the original layout, and I prefer that to all other options so far :) |
| 11:36:07 | Llorean | pondlife: I'd like to get rid of the player list, and replace it with a more user-friendly paragraph |
| 11:36:09 | JdGordon_ | Llorean: that looks a bit better... but the blerb has to be limited to say 800px wide, it looks _terrible_ at high res widescreen |
| 11:36:30 | GodEater | pondlife fears change it seems |
| 11:36:41 | pondlife | Not really. I have my reasons here. |
| 11:36:42 | Llorean | JdGordon_: As i said, that was a really quick hack job, it's more the sample text (lack of player list) and which things were kept on the page than the layout. |
| 11:36:45 | linuxstb | amiconn: The documentation claims the filter driver isn't needed any more - just a device driver - http://libusb-win32.sourceforge.net/#installation |
| 11:36:53 | * | JdGordon_ giong for dinner |
| 11:37:06 | pondlife | Llorean: I think the target list is useful for people Googling. |
| 11:37:21 | Llorean | pondlife: So we make sure the other page is indexed by google. |
| 11:37:34 | pondlife | other page? |
| 11:37:37 | Llorean | I'm not saying we remove the target list, just drop it from the front page. |
| 11:37:42 | pondlife | OK |
| 11:37:50 | linuxstb | How about a "Quick links" section, similar to the IPL homepage? http://ipodlinux.org/Main_Page |
| 11:37:53 | Llorean | I think it's valuable, but I think people skim over it. |
| 11:38:13 | pixelma | Llorean: that's almost like the last version of the old layout, and maybe I'm late in discussion but I don't think removing the device list from the front page is such a good idea, provided how often we answer here "if your device is not listed on the frontpage as supported, it's not"... |
| 11:38:18 | Llorean | If you have a paragraph like the one I put there, that links to the targets (and says clearly before the link that it ONLY runs on those) people might not only find them, but understand that it's limited to just them. |
| 11:38:21 | pondlife | I like the ipodlinux layout, aside from the wikipedia look |
| 11:38:35 | pondlife | The icons etc, nice. |
| 11:38:47 | Llorean | pixelma: Yeah, but what I'd like is a paragraph saying "It only runs on certain devices, and these devices are listed here(Page link)" and then on that page have pictures as well |
| 11:39:31 | linuxstb | I agree with pixelma - the device list is good on the front page. But there could always be a second page, with pictures and more info. |
| 11:39:35 | Llorean | I think that "normal" users expect text, rather than a chart. |
| 11:39:38 | pondlife | I partucularly like the inclusion of the SVN revision number... |
| 11:40:09 | LinusN | the issue here is really that so many people don't expect that info to be on the front page |
| 11:40:11 | Llorean | Also, as the list expands it'll just take up more and more space on the front page. |
| 11:40:26 | LinusN | (the device list) |
| 11:40:31 | Llorean | I think it's just more readable in general to have an introduction paragraph to Rockbox, and then a link to the device list. |
| 11:40:40 | LinusN | exactly |
| 11:40:44 | pondlife | Yes |
| 11:40:56 | linuxstb | LinusN: I'm not sure I agree with that - where else do people start looking for information if it's not the front page? |
| 11:41:13 | LinusN | they expect to find a link to the information |
| 11:41:14 | | Part ddalton |
| 11:41:15 | Llorean | linuxstb: People go to the front page to find out *where* information is, rather than the information itself, I think. |
| 11:41:26 | Llorean | Sometimes reading past the information in the process. |
| 11:41:46 | linuxstb | Then IMO it's a problem with how we've presented the list, not the fact that the list is there. |
| 11:41:51 | LinusN | furthermore, it seems that many people don't expect the front page information to be up-to-date and accurate |
| 11:41:58 | Llorean | There's that too |

| 11:42:38 | LinusN | the front page is expected to be a portal to the real information, not contain the information itself |

| 11:43:47 | Llorean | I think the paragraph helps more. It says "There's information here, this is what sort it is, and here's some of the most likely things you're seeking." |
| 11:43:59 | Llorean | I think it'd also make it less likely people will miss the "Why Rockbox" link. |
| 11:44:16 | LinusN | and considering the wealth of other information, i think the list of devices can easily be moved somehere else |
| 11:45:26 | LinusN | also, i think we should have a different appearance on the dynamic boxes and the static information |
| 11:46:00 | LinusN | right now, the introductory text and the device list looks exactly like the dynamic info boxes |
| 11:46:41 | LinusN | i don't really see the point of having the first text block in a box at all |

| 11:48:54 | LinusN | you mean my appearance comment? |
| 11:49:31 | GodEater | yes |
| 11:49:41 | LinusN | sure |
| 11:50:07 | LinusN | i like Llorean's mockup |
| 11:50:51 | LinusN | then again, the current design is quite boring, but in a good way imho |
| 11:50:53 | pondlife | Me too... add the SVN rev number too though. |
| 11:50:56 | Llorean | LinusN: As pondlife suggested, I think merging major changes into the news (or perhaps just including more news items for added features) would be good |
| 11:51:04 | pondlife | Tricky though. |
| 11:51:19 | Llorean | The SVN table needs to be more "Full" |
| 11:51:25 | pondlife | You'd probably get WMA mentioned twice, for example. |
| 11:51:26 | Llorean | Comments, and revisions would be nice. |
| 11:51:43 | pondlife | Revision should be the first column IMHO |
| 11:51:43 | Llorean | pondlife: So just have the news updated more often rather than an automated merge. |
| 11:51:53 | pondlife | Yes |
| 11:52:18 | pondlife | Or could the news just be taken from the MajorChanges page perhaps? |
| 11:52:27 | GodEater | I think that would be better |
| 11:52:27 | Llorean | That wouldn't work as well |
| 11:52:30 | Llorean | Devcon and such |
| 11:52:34 | GodEater | News is dreadful at the moment in my opinion |
| 11:52:37 | pondlife | Hmm, good point |
| 11:52:50 | GodEater | but, as just pointed out |
| 11:52:50 | Llorean | GodEater: News needs a maintainer, I think |
| 11:52:52 | pondlife | So a non-code News page to merge. |
| 11:53:03 | GodEater | we'd need some way to make manual additions |
| 11:53:09 | Llorean | A .html someone's in charge of updating, that gets included or something |
| 11:53:31 | * | LinusN whispers "cms" |
| 11:53:35 | Llorean | cms? |
| 11:53:40 | * | pondlife googles |
| 11:53:43 | GodEater | content management system |
| 11:53:46 | Llorean | Ah |
| 11:54:00 | GodEater | a la Mambo, or similar |
| 11:54:05 | pondlife | So, the current wiki maybe? With permissions... |
| 11:54:15 | pondlife | FrontPageNews |
| 11:54:35 | Llorean | But yeah, news definitely needs some attention |
| 11:54:58 | Llorean | I think though that for the SVN revision in the changelog, the revision number could just be part of the date column. |
| 11:54:58 | GodEater | to be honest |
| 11:55:14 | GodEater | we could blame the lack of updates to News for people thinking the front page doesnt update very often |
| 11:55:22 | GodEater | they can see that svn is dynamically generated |
| 11:55:29 | * | pondlife treates the SVN as news |
| 11:55:34 | GodEater | but if we only update news once every 3 months |
| 11:55:47 | GodEater | then you could be forgiven for thinking that the rest of the page isn't touched much |
| 11:55:53 | pondlife | MajorChanges is updated reasonably |
| 11:56:03 | GodEater | Major changes isn't the front page |
| 11:56:08 | pondlife | No, but it couldbne |
| 11:56:09 | pondlife | could be |
| 11:56:22 | GodEater | yes it could |
| 11:56:38 | pondlife | News on front page = top 8 entries from (MajorChanges + FrontPageNews)? |
| 11:56:40 | GodEater | what I'm saying is, "This is why users assume the current model list is out of date" |
| 11:56:41 | pondlife | Or similar |
| 11:57:02 | LinusN | GodEater: exactly |
| 11:57:45 | pondlife | Removal of the model list is fine with me; I wonder if it would result in more forum queries, or more new ports perhaps? |
| 11:58:06 | GodEater | http://pastebin.ca/689918 <−− updated again |
| 12:00 |
| 12:00:04 | LinusN | better |
| 12:00:23 | GodEater | anything else that needs to go on it before I put it in the forums ? |
| 12:00:46 | pondlife | Remove the "again" from point (A)? |
| 12:01:06 | GodEater | removed |
| 12:01:11 | LinusN | not sure about the collapsable menus though |
| 12:01:23 | LinusN | not very accessible |
| 12:01:26 | GodEater | I can take that suggestion out completely |
| 12:01:29 | pondlife | Yes, maybe keep the sidebar out of it. |
| 12:01:48 | pondlife | So we can keep consistency across sites too. |
| 12:01:58 | pondlife | It's almost there (at last) :) |
| 12:02:06 | LinusN | right |
| 12:02:08 | GodEater | D) We still want the navigation bar at the side. If you think you can make it more accessible, then please do so. |
| 12:02:35 | * | Llorean has succeeded in making his mockup horribly ugly because he's useless with tables. |
| 12:02:48 | GodEater | Llorean: <DIV>!!!! |
| 12:03:04 | Llorean | GodEater: I'm all about the CSS, but I'm making a mockup using existing content, not rebuilding it myself |
| 12:03:09 | GodEater | hehe |
| 12:03:21 | GodEater | it really ought to be a 21st century page now :) |
| 12:04:12 | GodEater | http://pastebin.ca/689925 <−− last draft ? |
| 12:04:37 | * | GodEater wonders if Llorean should post it in announcements |
| 12:06:26 | Llorean | GodEater: Did I prevent experts from posting in Announcements? |
| 12:06:32 | Llorean | I may have under the assumption they'd have nothing to announce... |
| 12:06:36 | GodEater | you did yes |
| 12:06:50 | GodEater | you even told bluebrother that last week :) |
| 12:06:55 | GodEater | or recently at least |
| 12:07:13 | amiconn | Llorean: Imo it's much better to put links on an actual statement than those ugly (but unfortunately widespread) "click here" links |
| 12:07:33 | amiconn | (referring to the "why rockbox" link in your mockup) |

| 12:08:23 | Llorean | GodEater: Post it in General Discussion. Then try moving it to Announcements. If that fails, let me know, and I'll move it. |
| 12:08:54 | kugel | i have a problem. I have such a beep sound when I skip the track |
| 12:09:03 | kugel | pretty anonying one |
| 12:09:26 | kugel | it wasn't before today |
| 12:09:49 | GodEater | Llorean: that appeared to work. |
| 12:10:18 | Llorean | GodEater: I had a gut feeling it would |
| 12:11:03 | Llorean | I mean I could give y'all the ability to post there, but honestly I'd rather keep that line of "You shouldn't be posting here, but you can if you MUST" |
| 12:11:20 | GodEater | you mean you want us to know our place ;) |

| 12:13:06 | kugel | i didnt change any settings, it appeared after a reboot |
| 12:14:34 | Llorean | kugel: Then the beeps are magical, and we can't fix them. Either you changed the setting, or there's a bug. If you changed the setting, you can turn it off. If it's a bug, we can't fix it until you document it. |
| 12:14:43 | kugel | ok found it |
| 12:14:44 | kugel | thank you |
| 12:15:21 | kugel | maybe i turned it on a few days, but never actually skipped a song since then |
| 12:16:39 | GodEater | dammit - I thought of something we missed that needs to go on the front page |

| 12:22:52 | aliask | Would it be possible to link in the eSpeak codec/plugin seperately to avoid license conflicts? |
| 12:22:59 | aliask | Sort of like how linux etc does it? |
| 12:23:57 | B4gder | that would require a pretty drastic remodeling |
| 12:25:26 | aliask | Ok, that'll do then. |
| 12:26:16 | JdGordon_ | GodEater: (/me a bit late) I tihnk point 2 is a bit harshe.... |
| 12:26:55 | GodEater | I think it's a bit pointless someone submitting a mockup if they can't make it work |
| 12:27:11 | JdGordon_ | so, but some people are creative, and some are coders |
| 12:27:15 | | Nick JdGordon_ is now known as JdGordon (n=jonno@rockbox/developer/JdGordon) |
| 12:27:21 | GodEater | so then they get together |
| 12:27:25 | GodEater | there's nothing stopping a team entry |
| 12:27:42 | GodEater | then Mr. Creative can send his .PSD to the coder chap |
| 12:27:59 | JdGordon | no, but saying they arnt alowd to submit a mockup means a creative person who cant code will probably not bother |
| 12:28:17 | LinusN | i don't mind a mockup as long as it is a HTML/CSS page and not just an image |
| 12:28:30 | GodEater | the "just an image" is what I'm trying to avoid |
| 12:28:44 | GodEater | perhaps I should clarify that point |
| 12:28:48 | JdGordon | even an image is fine imo... it just wont be given as much credit as a full blown site would |

| 12:30:34 | GodEater | Edited. |

| 12:30:53 | GodEater | I've removed the "we want perl" bit too |

| 12:48:53 | amiconn | Hmm, are there 2 different types of (original) H1x0 leather cases? |
| 12:51:01 | rasher | amiconn: Yeah. At least the ihp110 I bought for Linus had a different one from mine |
| 12:51:34 | rasher | Without a plastic window iirc (but a more sturdy protection over the display) |
| 12:52:22 | amiconn | The case in your auction is black, and the front is not a big flap, like the one for my H140 (which is brown) |
| 12:52:42 | rasher | That sounds like the one the h110 had |
| 12:53:24 | rasher | I bought mine just when the ihp name was discontinued |
| 12:53:39 | | Join actionshrimp [0] (n=nn@86.158.13.55) |
| 12:53:58 | Llorean | Yeah, I have the older case too |
| 12:54:12 | amiconn | On a different matter, I'd like to ask you whether you could change buldzip.pl so that it doesn't start tons of processes anymore, like you did with (the implementation of) voice.pl |
| 12:54:13 | *** | Saving seen data "./dancer.seen" |
| 12:54:27 | amiconn | This would cut down 'make zip' runtime (drastically on cygwin) |
| 12:56:01 | rasher | Wow, buildzip.pl is really a sort of perl/shellscript hybrid |
| 12:56:13 | rasher | Using lots of external apps for stuff that could be handled by perl |
| 12:56:20 | rasher | As far as I can tell |
| 12:56:43 | amiconn | Yup. Calling 'cp' a thousand times, plus other tools |
| 12:58:12 | rasher | And find.. which calls cp.. I have a feeling that could be done somewhat nicer |
| 12:58:53 | GodEater | fix it |
| 12:59:20 | B4gder | perhaps we should fix all cygwin users to run linux? ;-) |
| 12:59:28 | * | B4gder ducks and runs |
| 12:59:33 | rasher | I wonder if it was once named buildzip.sh, then someone needed a single function of Perl and hastily converted it while leaving most of the shell script calls intact |
| 13:00 |
| 13:00:06 | B4gder | not necesarily, I use to write my perl like that |
| 13:00:16 | B4gder | I don't use cygwin... |
| 13:00:59 | amiconn | This approach is also slower than using perl functions on linux, just not as much as on cygwin |
| 13:01:12 | B4gder | sure, but on linux we won't notice the speed difference |
| 13:01:29 | B4gder | I never wrote that to be a speedy script, just a working one |
| 13:01:39 | B4gder | and it runs fast enough on linux |
| 13:02:03 | B4gder | I find it sad that we have to rewrite it just because we have and use inferior systems |
| 13:02:08 | B4gder | but I accept that fact |
| 13:04:04 | JdGordon | I was going to ask for buildzip to be split up into seperate files so make can do more than 1 at a time to speed it up... |
| 13:04:36 | | Part ByronFortescue |
| 13:06:10 | | Quit Embrion () |
| 13:07:14 | B4gder | I wouldn't mind, if that separation is made in a logical way |
| 13:12:02 | JdGordon | also, making it not delete the .rockbox so a make install equivilant for real targets would be nice |
| 13:12:54 | rasher | install: zip unzip -d SOMEDIRHERE rockbox.zip |
| 13:13:03 | B4gder | why would the removal of .rockbox affect that? |

| 13:13:33 | JdGordon | I mean, it should just finish before making the zip |
| 13:13:52 | B4gder | you mean if you symlink .rockbox to your target? |
| 13:14:05 | JdGordon | no.... |

| 13:14:38 | JdGordon | creating and unzipping the zip is slow when zp -R .rockbox /dest would do just as well |
| 13:14:52 | GodEater | s/zp/cp ? |
| 13:14:57 | B4gder | but I'm sure buildzip could take an option to make it not remove and build zip |
| 13:15:35 | JdGordon | yeah, I was going to give that a go a while ago, but got scared by the Makefile and perl :p |
| 13:15:59 | greenlemon | (oh and congrats on rockbox, its amazing, i'd been using it for quite a while on my iriver 120 and have loved it ever since, even now on my ipod =) ) |

| 13:21:34 | GodEater | greenlemon: then I think you can acheive what you want with a customized tagnavi file |
| 13:21:48 | GodEater | but you're better off asking in the forums, as very few people here use the database |
| 13:21:55 | greenlemon | oh |

| 13:55:52 | B4gder | 1) rockbox is not linux so the linux case is totally besides the point |

| 13:56:29 | Zaister | thanks for the last.fm tip, and bye! |

| 14:26:02 | JdGordon | revert or consider dual licensing? |
| 14:26:32 | B4gder | hm right, dual is an option... but gplv2/gplv3 feels like a very funny dual license |
| 14:26:51 | B4gder | and rather pointless to them |
| 14:27:03 | GodEater | yeah, I can't see them going for it |
| 14:27:04 | Llorean | They could revert to GPLv2 or later. |
| 14:27:19 | B4gder | wasn't that what they had? |
| 14:27:40 | GodEater | it sounds to me like they're keen to avoid tivoisation |
| 14:27:57 | Llorean | Yeah. I just mean, it's possible that he just updated without too much though, based on the "loopholes" thing, and without thinking of how it might affect users of his code. |
| 14:27:57 | B4gder | it sounds to me like they just believe what fsf says |
| 14:28:00 | GodEater | which would make switching to gplv2 or later pointless from their point of view |

| 14:30:25 | chrissy88 | hi, i'm trying to compile rockbox using ubuntu, but when i type "make", i only get errors and warnings. has anybody allready tried to compile with ubuntu ? |
| 14:30:29 | linuxstb__ | Doesn't that quote (if no version is specified, any version) mean we could switch to v3? From what I could see when I looked recently, all the external code we're using is v2 or later. |
| 14:30:31 | B4gder | markun: yes that's what I meant |
| 14:30:34 | JdGordon | is there much difference between the last v2 version and current? |

| 14:39:59 | chrissy88 | i already built the cross compiler using a Shellscript |
| 14:41:11 | JdGordon | B4gder: is there any reason why we can do cat PATH=$PATH:blaa >> ~/.bashrc at the end of that script if the shell is bash? |
| 14:41:30 | B4gder | yes, because the user may not use bash |
| 14:41:40 | B4gder | and I personally would hate it... |
| 14:41:42 | JdGordon | but we can check the shell cant we? |
| 14:41:56 | B4gder | yes we can |
| 14:42:15 | B4gder | but still, what if the user already has the PATH fixed? |
| 14:42:38 | B4gder | like when you run the script to update your compiler(s) |
| 14:43:02 | JdGordon | it could check that also |
| 14:43:16 | B4gder | how? |
| 14:43:23 | GodEater | `which arm-elf-gcc` |
| 14:43:43 | B4gder | yes, but that only means that the PATH is fine, not that it exists in a proper file |
| 14:43:54 | B4gder | but that might be good enough |
| 14:43:55 | JdGordon | close enough imho |
| 14:44:17 | JdGordon | it could also ask if the user wants it added automatically or not |
| 14:44:21 | pondlife | Hmm, rockboxui.exe seems to have a memory leak today |
| 14:44:21 | rasher | GodEater: if [ -f `which arm-elf-gcc` ] |
| 14:44:43 | rasher | if [ -f "`which arm-elf-gcc`" ] |
| 14:44:46 | pondlife | The memory usage (according to Windows Task Manager) increases all the time. |
| 14:44:59 | GodEater | $(which arm-elf-gcc) |
| 14:45:04 | JdGordon | thread bug maybe? |
| 14:45:12 | B4gder | of course, what if the PATH contains an older gcc dir... :-) |
| 14:45:22 | pondlife | It's new in the past 2 weeks I think |
| 14:45:30 | rasher | GodEater: 1) Backticks have wider support than $() 2) you need to test what the command outputs (some implementations of which output an error message) |

| 14:45:42 | JdGordon | jhMikeS: sounds like pondlife found a bug for you |
| 14:46:03 | GodEater | rasher: I was just being controversial :) |
| 14:46:05 | JdGordon | B4gder: it could test the gcc version if its found |
| 14:46:14 | B4gder | hahah |
| 14:46:19 | B4gder | or we could just skip this |

| 16:19:24 | B4gder | bowl: but itunes won't check the sign nor generated it |
| 16:19:38 | B4gder | it most likely just gets a remote file and puts it on the ipod |
| 16:19:54 | bowl | B4gder: ah, that's the point. No chance then :-/ |
| 16:19:55 | B4gder | or possibly communicates with the running ipod firmware |
| 16:20:10 | amiconn | Chronon: I'm not sure whether sending the nano to me from the US is a good idea. Not because of shipment costs, but because of possible customs issues |
| 16:20:11 | B4gder | it would surprise me greatly if itunes would have any clues |
| 16:20:25 | B4gder | of this kind, I mean |
| 16:21:14 | amiconn | Would be easier if either someone in the EU has a problematic nano and would be willing to send it, or a dev located in the US would take your offer |
| 16:21:24 | bowl | B4gder: so you mean, FW updates are prepared and signed somewhere at Apple, and iTunes downloads them and puts to the dap? |
| 16:21:34 | B4gder | yes, I would expect so |
| 16:21:48 | pondlife | amiconn: What if someone in the EU received the nano, then sent it on to you? |
| 16:21:56 | Chronon | amiconn: linuxstb mentioned this. I'm hoping we can find a European donor or an American developer. |
| 16:21:59 | pondlife | I could do that if it helps. |
| 16:22:51 | GodEater | what? find a donor ? |
| 16:22:58 | Chronon | Does anyone have much knowledge of the customs restrictions? |

| 17:53:16 | Domonoky | only zip and sansapatcher for a e280... or use rbutil.. :-) |

| 18:03:17 | tictoc | i dont get any message really |
| 18:03:30 | tictoc | until now, you mean |
| 18:04:11 | Domonoky | tictoc: jop.. would ne nice to know why it failes.. maybe it blocked by UAC ? |

| 18:06:45 | tictoc | forgot to mention |
| 18:07:01 | tictoc | it crashes when i select 'yes' on 'should it autodetect devices' |
| 18:07:43 | Domonoky | ah.. then i know.. :-) its the "patchers" which dont work on vista... |
| 18:07:50 | tictoc | nah.. it crashes eaither way, even when i select 'no' |
| 18:07:50 | tictoc | it just cant detect the e280 |
| 18:08:03 | tictoc | i see |
| 18:08:19 | Domonoky | so you probably also get problems when you install the bootloader via sansapatcher.. |

| 18:38:32 | Rincewind | strange |
| 18:38:50 | GodEater_ | Rincewind: I assume you've not modified your source tree at all ? |
| 18:38:54 | GodEater_ | No patches or anything ? |
| 18:39:08 | Rincewind | i made a branch, applied a patch to it. |
| 18:39:13 | Rincewind | then i switched back to master |
| 18:39:33 | Rincewind | I am sure that the master wasn't changed at all by this |
| 18:39:49 | GodEater_ | so "git branch whatever" "git checkout whatever" "patch -p0 < thepatch.diff" and then "git checkout master" ? |
| 18:40:14 | GodEater_ | possibly with a "git commit -a" just before the last checkout of master |
| 18:40:38 | Rincewind | git branch whatever, git checkout whatever, ...working there... git commit -a, git checkout master, try to build |
| 18:41:00 | GodEater_ | so if you do "git branch" it shows you're on master yes / |
| 18:41:01 | GodEater_ | ? |
| 18:41:08 | Rincewind | I did a git svn rebase which pulled a one or two new commits |
| 18:41:14 | Rincewind | yes, i am on master |
| 18:41:20 | GodEater_ | do a git reset −−hard |
| 18:41:25 | GodEater_ | then try the compile again |
| 18:41:57 | Rincewind | changed nothing |
| 18:42:25 | GodEater_ | and git status shows ? |
| 18:42:31 | Rincewind | i searched with grep for this misterious gcc: unrecognized option '-070910"' but didn't find anything |
| 18:42:50 | Rincewind | nothing added to commit but untracked files present (use "git add" to track) |
| 18:43:40 | Rincewind | the untracked files are simbuild/ and a few files in tools/ which are generated during a build. nothing suspicious |
| 18:44:10 | GodEater_ | that's the date |
| 18:44:32 | GodEater_ | the -070910 |
| 18:44:41 | Rincewind | hm ok, so it is generated somewhere |
| 18:44:43 | GodEater_ | have you tried deleting your build directory |
| 18:44:45 | | Part Domonoky |
| 18:44:48 | GodEater_ | and redoing configure |
| 18:45:01 | Rincewind | yes, a few times |
| 18:45:12 | GodEater_ | which OS you on ? |
| 18:45:14 | GodEater_ | ubuntu ? |
| 18:45:25 | Rincewind | ubuntu 7.10 gutsy |
| 18:45:36 | GodEater_ | wonder if this is a dash/bash issue |
| 18:46:10 | Rincewind | the svn checkout on the same machine is working... |
| 18:46:12 | GodEater_ | and it's a sim you're trying to build, not an actual target |
| 18:46:15 | chrisjs169 | i'm on gutsy as well - what's the problem? |
| 18:47:15 | GodEater_ | he checked out the code tree using git instead of svn |
| 18:47:18 | GodEater_ | and it won't build |
| 18:47:28 | GodEater_ | Rincewind: could you pastebin the entire error please ? |
| 18:48:24 | GodEater_ | Rincewind: it still could be a dash/bash issue |
| 18:48:40 | GodEater_ | could you redo the symlink from sh->dash |
| 18:48:46 | GodEater_ | and replace it with one to bash |
| 18:48:48 | GodEater_ | ? |
| 18:49:04 | Rincewind | http://rafb.net/p/uJGuYS55.html |
| 18:49:11 | GodEater_ | the configure / make process tries to do some funky stuff with the svn version |
| 18:49:17 | GodEater_ | which doesn't work on a git tree |
| 18:49:42 | GodEater_ | and that gcc error is making me suspicious that that's the issue |
| 18:49:46 | Rincewind | GodEater, I think you are on to something there |
| 18:50:05 | GodEater_ | with bash running configure it doesn't matter - you just get left with an empty version string |
| 18:50:13 | GodEater_ | but clearly dash is tripping on it |
| 18:50:33 | GodEater_ | are you okay redoing the symlink ? |
| 18:50:57 | Rincewind | if you tell me exactly where and how... |
| 18:51:23 | GodEater_ | first do "which sh" |

| 19:04:09 | eigma | Rincewind: okay, now go to your rockbox root, and run "svnversion .; svnversion tools" and post |
| 19:04:11 | GodEater_ | svnversion just returns a string "exported" when you run it on your own |
| 19:04:15 | amiconn | But I wonder why that version string confuses gcc |
| 19:04:22 | | Join petur [0] (n=petur@rockbox/developer/petur) |
| 19:04:23 | amiconn | It's a literal string after all... |
| 19:04:25 | eigma | amiconn: space isn't propertly quited |
| 19:04:28 | GodEater_ | amiconn: the space in it I guess |
| 19:04:28 | eigma | *quoted |
| 19:04:51 | amiconn | eigma: The whole stirng is quoted, isn't it? |
| 19:04:54 | amiconn | *string |
| 19:05:14 | amiconn | -DAPPSVERSION=\"rexportiert -070910\" |
| 19:05:19 | eigma | it's escape-quoted so that it ends up quoted to the preprocessor. but on the shell command-line, spaces are free to split into two arguments |
| 19:05:40 | eigma | proper quoting would be −−> "-DAPPS...." |
| 19:05:47 | Rincewind | I think I know the problem now. Normally it uses the svn revision, but when that isn't availiable it uses some output that says "exported xx" and my german string doesn't match this |
| 19:05:51 | amiconn | Bah, *nix shells are strange beats... |
| 19:06:03 | amiconn | Beasts even |
| 19:06:12 | eigma | Rincewind: what is the output of svnversion on those two directories? |
| 19:06:46 | Rincewind | eigma: svnversion gives "exportiert" |
| 19:06:46 | GodEater_ | Rincewind: indeed, it's not matching the string in svnversion.sh |
| 19:07:07 | Rincewind | ok, so I have to make my own svnversion.sh |
| 19:07:08 | eigma | Rincewind: what if you run: "LANG=C svnversion" |
| 19:07:20 | GodEater_ | we need to i18n our tools directory ;) |
| 19:07:22 | eigma | no, heh, that won't solve the problem for Swedish, French, Russian, etc, etc |
| 19:07:40 | Rincewind | eigma with LANG=C I get exported |

| 19:13:20 | Rincewind | r-070910 |
| 19:14:01 | eigma | what about "LANG=C ./svnversion.sh .." |
| 19:14:05 | Rincewind | amiconn: I don't like this either, because most of the time the localisations are not very good |
| 19:14:32 | amiconn | I find it strange, as I don't expect it for commandline. A gui should of course be localised |
| 19:14:50 | Rincewind | eigma: -070910 |
| 19:14:57 | GodEater_ | that works then |
| 19:15:04 | n1s | anyone objects to me moving ipf specific code from pcm_playback.c to a new file firmware/target/arm/pnx0101/iriver-ifp7xx/pcm-ifp7xx.c ? |
| 19:15:18 | eigma | n1s: I almost have a patch for that |
| 19:15:30 | Rincewind | ok, so we only have to decide where to put the LANG=C, right? |
| 19:15:48 | amiconn | I'd prepend it to the 2 svnversion calls in svnversion.sh |
| 19:15:51 | eigma | Rincewind: well, I don't like "-070910" as an output from svnversion.sh |

| 19:17:04 | eigma | amiconn: exactly |
| 19:17:24 | n1s | eigma: if you put it on flyspray I can commit it if no one obejcts |
| 19:17:35 | Rincewind | this is the string that should come out of it: "r14662-070910" |
| 19:17:39 | eigma | n1s: give me a day or so |
| 19:17:56 | Rincewind | unknown-date looks ok, too |
| 19:18:16 | eigma | Rincewind: once again, from your root rockbox directory, what is the output of "svnversion .; svnversion tools" |
| 19:18:18 | amiconn | Rincewind: Not if you run it on a source tree that is not an svn working copy |
| 19:18:32 | amiconn | Aren't there quotes missing in snversion.sh line 22? |
| 19:18:43 | eigma | doesn't make a difference because there are no spaces |
| 19:19:10 | eigma | it's just a command line, and the first quotes are removed before passing to the "[" command anyway |
| 19:19:18 | amiconn | Okay, but it's odd to use quotes in line 18 and no quotes in line 22 imho |
| 19:19:31 | eigma | I'm just saying it's functionally correct |
| 19:19:35 | eigma | but i agree that it's bad style |
| 19:19:39 | Rincewind | eigma: the output is "exportiert" (without quotes) |
| 19:19:44 | eigma | Rincewind: for both? |
| 19:19:49 | Rincewind | for both, yes |
| 19:20:24 | eigma | then the output of an unmodified svnversion.sh, without LANG=C, should be rexportiert-YYMMDD |
| 19:20:34 | eigma | Rincewind: can you confirm this/ |
| 19:20:55 | amiconn | On my linux box, 'svnversion' outputs 'exportiert' but 'LANG=C svnversion' outputs 'exported' |
| 19:21:05 | Rincewind | rexportiert -070910 |
| 19:21:22 | Rincewind | there is a space between rexportiert and - |
| 19:21:27 | eigma | indeed |
| 19:21:44 | amiconn | There is a space at the end of the localised string: 'exportiert ' |
| 19:22:01 | eigma | oh! |
| 19:22:07 | eigma | well, that's silly |
| 19:22:18 | amiconn | Yes it is, but it's also a fact... |
| 19:22:25 | eigma | indeed |
| 19:22:38 | amiconn | So the LANG=C will fix the problem |
| 19:23:01 | preglow | who did the eq presets, again? |
| 19:23:08 | eigma | I would agree; prepend LANG=C before svnversion. I would also add a comment stating why it's necessary. I can make the patch, but it's pretty easy |
| 19:23:23 | eigma | preglow: someone with an English-localized machine ;) |

| 19:29:09 | eigma | using $1 instead of $TOP? |
| 19:29:40 | amiconn | If the second 'svnver' call _fails_, the output is not "exported" so line 25 sets SVNVER, not line 27 ... |

| 21:44:08 | n1s | amiconn: is loading a short from memory much slower than loading a long for coldfire or arm? |
| 21:45:29 | preglow | depends on alignment |
| 21:45:31 | tictoc | arm's are risc processors, right? |
| 21:45:36 | preglow | tictoc: yes |
| 21:45:55 | preglow | loading an unaligned short is slower on coldfire, and perhaps even one cycles slower anyway (can't remember the last) |
| 21:46:01 | preglow | on arm, it's not slower, afaik |
| 21:46:17 | preglow | and now that i think about it, it being slower on coldfire for aligned access makes no sense... |
| 21:46:17 | amiconn | Loading a short is never slower than loading a long. However, loading 2 shorts instead of one long is always slower |
| 21:46:45 | n1s | preglow: I was looking at some of the const iram tables in tremor and some of those don't need to be longs which could save a bit of iram which will be usefull if we want to use gcc 4.x sometime |

| 22:04:57 | Bagder | risc is now more a fixed instruction size and pipelines, or something like that |
| 22:05:03 | preglow | as with most other things in life, i think a balanced approach is best |
| 22:05:12 | eigma | I like the ARM instruction set very much, actually; I just have a different definition of RISC than Wikipedia ;) |
| 22:05:19 | greenlemon | hey! i was wondering where i can get recent patched versions so i can use the different themes, evilg's uses a quite old build from may :\ |
| 22:05:24 | preglow | arm is pretty decent |
| 22:05:31 | preglow | i prefer coldfire, but it's not bad at all |
| 22:06:20 | eigma | could someone who can commit take another look at http://www.rockbox.org/tracker/task/7748 |
| 22:06:36 | DefineByte | greenlemon: you might want to look into compiling your own. |
| 22:06:47 | preglow | i don't feel too qualified to commit that |
| 22:07:10 | eigma | preglow: can you test it and add comments? |
| 22:07:38 | preglow | i'd rather prefer not to :> working on non-rockbox stuff right now |
| 22:07:42 | greenlemon | i once actually did compile but i've formatted my pc since and its a bit of a hassle to install everything again, i was just wondering if there is anything like ready made avaiable online or so |
| 22:08:32 | DefineByte | not one that is updated that often |
| 22:09:09 | greenlemon | oh ok |
| 22:09:37 | greenlemon | do you know any launched after the 7th of august though? |
| 22:10:10 | Chronon | The VMWare image is pre-configured. Not much hassle at all. |
| 22:10:28 | DefineByte | any builds will likely be in the forum |

| 22:16:51 | Rincewind | eigma: about the svnversion.sh patch - maybe it is better not to rewrite the whole file. The function adds more lines of code and is called only twice anyway. People prefer KISS here. |
| 22:18:10 | Rincewind | But I don't know really, my own patches have a tendancy to sit on the tracker for ages without making it... |

| 22:23:36 | n1s | maxkelley: how does your new patch relate to #7732 ? |

| 22:28:36 | n1s | maxkelley: ok, closed |
| 22:28:54 | Rincewind | eigma: I don't know if the minimal version is liked better by the core devs. I just wouldn't like this patch to be forgotten because it changes too much and isn't commited because of this |

| 22:34:32 | maxkelley | heh |
| 22:34:40 | Bagder | git has some upsides and some downsides, I'd say |
| 22:34:43 | bluebrother | git has some advantages, especially when working offline. But I agree that there is no real advantage for the main rockbox repo |
| 22:34:47 | Rincewind | bluebrother: I don't know, maybe it is possible to use both in paralell. |
| 22:34:55 | bluebrother | well, I do. |
| 22:35:15 | scorche | the only disadvantages i see are the work required to change to a new system, and devs being more familiar with SVN than git |
| 22:35:23 | bluebrother | it's simply two different trees ... why should there be a problem in using both? |
| 22:35:49 | bluebrother | no good git client for windows is another great disadvantage IMO |
| 22:35:56 | Bagder | scorche: the lack of a windows version may be considered a con to some... |
| 22:36:06 | scorche | ah...forgot about that as well |
| 22:36:08 | eigma | um, is it possible to use the rockbox sim over network X11? |
| 22:36:15 | Bagder | eigma: yes |
| 22:36:18 | eigma | sorry, *goes to wiki* |
| 22:36:21 | maxkelley | I don't see any reason why not.. |
| 22:36:39 | * | bluebrother too slow |
| 22:36:49 | eigma | well, it barfed some stuff about fbdev, and I figured it may only work with a real /dev/fb0 |
| 22:37:23 | amiconn | Cygwin provides git |
| 22:37:37 | Bagder | amiconn: yes, but today people can use tortoise for example |
| 22:37:46 | Bagder | native windows, not cygwin |
| 22:37:57 | amiconn | I know. |
| 22:38:03 | * | amiconn doesn't like tortoise |
| 22:38:05 | scorche | i would not wish on anyone to be required to use cygwin... |

| 22:39:51 | Rincewind | bluebrother: I suppose I coud check out and update rockbox using svn and import this tree in git. Then I would have to commit every svn update in my git repository. The way I use git-svn now is easier to maintain for me, the only 'problem' is that I don't have svn revision numbers |

| 22:43:57 | Bagder | I would say it seems like there's a problem there for some people... |
| 22:44:16 | Bagder | tracking that down might require some fun poking and disassembly or similar |
| 22:44:39 | scorche | yes, but wouldnt one think that i would have a problem as well?...it seems like i am the only one who has no issues with it |
| 22:44:47 | maxkelley | scorche: did you build your own rockbox? if so, does your rockbox build allow dual-booting on other R's? |
| 22:45:10 | scorche | maxkelley: i performed the installation, and then write that tutorial of what i did for everyone else to use |
| 22:45:18 | scorche | s/write/wrote |
| 22:46:01 | Bagder | well, perhaps there's something of a coincidence or whatever. Clearly people have problems... and when they have rockbox running and they can select the OF, I can't see how they could have messed up in very many wats |
| 22:46:14 | Bagder | ways |
| 22:46:29 | scorche | i cant either...it just seems very odd that i am the only one who can dual boot |
| 22:46:47 | maxkelley | oh, and my C200 can't boot the OF :) The sansa firmware.mi4 goes in SYSTEM/OF.mi4, right? |
| 22:46:48 | Bagder | I agree |

| 22:48:08 | scorche | Bagder: it is almost making me want to go and get another R to see if i can dual boot on that one... |
| 22:48:53 | maxkelley | scorche: make an image or something of your E200R, send it to someone else with one, see if it works. |
| 22:49:18 | scorche | maxkelley: i cant really, as part of the installation process involves an area i cant access |
| 22:50:09 | maxkelley | ? |
| 22:50:23 | scorche | well, i can still host my OF.mi4 and such and have them load it... |
| 22:50:42 | maxkelley | perhaps you have an e200 disguised as an R :p |

| 22:52:02 | scorche | yup, but mine isnt one of those |

| 22:55:40 | Bagder | scorche: you mean they never see any signs of the OF working? If so, it sounds like bad mi4s or similar |
| 22:56:04 | scorche | Bagder: that is what it sounds like |

| 23:37:49 | MBaller20 | any updates on the auto-installer |
| 23:38:03 | bluebrother | what auto-installer? |
| 23:38:23 | MBaller20 | sorry, for rockbox on e200r |
| 23:38:37 | bluebrother | there is Rockbox Utility but it requires you to do some steps |
| 23:38:48 | bluebrother | and that's a completely different thing |
| 23:38:52 | MBaller20 | do you need linux? |
| 23:39:01 | scorche | currently, yes |
| 23:39:26 | MBaller20 | I only i didn't have this very old computer |
| 23:39:36 | MBaller20 | *If |
| 23:39:39 | alienbiker99 | hm, im suprised how few wps's there are for the e200 compared to other targets |
| 23:40:14 | krazykit | if i can make icons that don't suck, i'd make a WPS |
| 23:40:17 | MBaller20 | i wish i knew about e200r and e200 before i bought the e 200r |
| 23:40:20 | webmind | hmm |
| 23:40:28 | n1s | alienbiker99: it has a different aspec ratio which makes adapting wps'es from other targets harder and require more re-design |
| 23:40:30 | krazykit | so far, i've only made an inverted iCatcher which i rather like |
| 23:40:37 | webmind | not sure this is part of rockbox, but on my ipod nano I get to see a battery icon only |
| 23:40:47 | n1s | also it's one of the newes targets to be supported |
| 23:40:47 | webmind | does this mean it's in charge only mode ? |
| 23:41:22 | alienbiker99 | yeah, later on if i have time i might try to port one from another target, i dont know how it will go though, but it will be a learning experience |
| 23:41:46 | krazykit | the other thing is, it'd be nice if people provided their source images (especially if they're svg) |
| 23:41:57 | | Quit Nico_P (Remote closed the connection) |
| 23:42:09 | * | alienbiker99 is thinking about buying an 8gb sansa, switching the boards with my 2gb and returning it to the store =\ |
| 23:42:11 | n1s | I rather like the portrait aspect for a dap, much easier to have much info in the wps IMO |
| 23:42:40 | MBaller20 | i read someone's post that said he already had the installer but wasn't sure if it should be released yet |
| 23:42:40 | n1s | alienbiker99: that would be something like fraud, i'd guess :-/ |
| 23:43:01 | MBaller20 | must be one of the developers |

| 23:45:48 | MBaller20 | I can't wait until this release :) |
| 23:46:34 | scorche | he wasnt a developer, and it isnt quite ready yet |
| 23:46:56 | MBaller20 | okay |
| 23:47:11 | scorche | the developer who is working on that is JdGordon |
| 23:47:40 | MBaller20 | the person i read it from was chrisjs169 or something like that |
| 23:48:00 | scorche | he was just testing something |
| 23:48:12 | MBaller20 | oh |
| 23:48:25 | scorche | that JdGordon made...but as i said, it isnt quite ready and still would require linux at this point |
| 23:48:37 | MBaller20 | thought so |
| 23:49:17 | n1s | eigma: is the increase of the size of the mem_conf[] array in system-pnx0101.c supposed to be included in the patch in FS #7751 ? |
| 23:49:47 | eigma | n1s: I guess not ^_^ |
| 23:50:07 | eigma | I was too lazy to create a new patch, tracker, description, etc, etc |
| 23:50:16 | n1s | eigma: ok, it looks good, I'll commit it tomorrow :-) |
| 23:50:23 | eigma | cool |
| 23:50:38 | eigma | it's tested on all ARM archs on build.rockbox.org |
| 23:50:44 | eigma | haven't tested the sims yet, working on that |
| 23:50:46 | MBaller20 | i guess it's almost impossible to get over this linux only option |
| 23:50:47 | n1s | eigma: you know you can post updated patches as attachments in comments to a task in the tracker, right? |
| 23:50:57 | eigma | n1s: yep |
| 23:51:15 | n1s | well, goddnight |
| 23:51:18 | eigma | seeya |
| 23:51:19 | | Part n1s |
| 23:51:24 | MBaller20 | goodnight? |
| 23:51:36 | MBaller20 | what time is it there |
| 23:51:38 | scorche | MBaller20: it isnt impossible, but it requires a bit of work to get it working with windows |
| 23:51:50 | MBaller20 | right |
| 23:51:54 | scorche | people from all around the world are in here |
| 23:52:19 | MBaller20 | it's 5:53PM in Albany, U.S. right now |
| 23:52:40 | MBaller20 | i just got back from football |
| 23:52:55 | scorche | try to keep the discussion on-topic please ;) |
| 23:53:03 | MBaller20 | haha, my bad |
| 23:54:12 | MBaller20 | now would i have to make the livecd or can i just run linux without it |
| 23:54:57 | krazykit | you have to actually burn the CD. make sure to burn from ISO / from disc image, rather than simply dragging the iso to a data project |
| 23:55:34 | MBaller20 | how would i do that |
| 23:55:57 | MBaller20 | i don;t see the differnce |
| 23:56:42 | * | ender` yawns |
