00:01:03TMMhi all!
00:01:18markunhi
00:03:02TMMI have a question: I want to buy an MP3 player, but it is apparently impossible to get a rockbox supported model in my neck of the woods, iAudio X5 isn't available anymore, the toshiba models aren't etc. I was wondering if there was some guide somewhere about what is required to start a rockbox port. I'm kind of leaning towards the iAudio 7 16Gb model. Is there any chance of cooperation from cowon? I heard that they helped with the X5 ports, but I'm
00:03:03TMMnot sure if that's just a rumor
00:03:34Bagderrockbox.org/wiki/NewPort
00:03:44Bagderbut its not for the faint of hearts
00:03:51TMMI do know how to code C, and I've dabbed in some X86 assembly, wrote a more-or-less working 16bit 'OS' (well, lots of bios calls) ;)
00:04:06TMMapart from echoing stuff back to the screen it didn't do much though ;)
00:04:26Bagderthen you might have what it takes! ;-)
00:05:14 Quit MethoS- (Remote closed the connection)
00:05:57linuxstbTMM: afaik, cowon didn't help at all with the Rockbox ports to their players.
00:06:19TMMlinuxstb:It's what I heard, I'm not sure if it's true
00:06:39BagderI'm sure you can ask them. I'm pretty sure you won't get a positive response... :-/
00:06:40TMMO dear... I don't even know what a BDM/JTAG emulator IS :)
00:06:58TMMand it looks like I'll be buying two then...
00:07:15BagderTMM: it really helps to find others that are interested to help out and join in the effort
00:07:34Bagderthe one man ports tend to never reach goal
00:08:05TMMmight be difficult, it's a fairly expensive player
00:08:18TMMbut, then again, so are ipods
00:08:35TMMit SOUNDS like fun :)
00:08:56tumuTMM, provided you can document it enough, others might get interested sooner on it
00:09:18Bagderbesides, when we did the first ports, all players were a lot more expensive...
00:09:43TMMI will most certainly keep this under consideration, it really sounds like a fun project, albeit a bit expensive...
00:10:08markunTMM: I can tell you from experience that a port is indeed a lot of fun
00:10:25TMMbut, I kind of feel I have to put my actions where my mouth is, I said I don't want to use any device with proprietary firmware, so, I don't suppose I have much of a choice :)
00:10:35TMMdamn hitachi :P
00:10:54TMMI will be able to turn here for help? :)
00:10:59Bagdersure
00:11:24Bagderand do use the wiki and forums to collect info and find friends to join in
00:11:41markunand look for a forum with a lot of iaudio 7 users
00:11:45TMMone more question though: did any of you have to port GCC to support your target player?
00:11:55markunnope
00:11:57BagderTMM: no, they all use basic archs
00:12:01TMMor do they tend to use ARM?
00:12:09Bagdersh, coldfire and arm
00:12:17Bagderbust most use arm these days, yes
00:12:17TMMwell, that's good news :) I know a bit of arm assembly
00:12:51TMMI'll think about it :) it really does sound like fun
00:13:14TMMmore interesting than 16bit X86 stuff, that's been done millions of times

00:13:27jbitplus x86 is a mess :)
00:13:34TMMamen :)
00:13:40*TMM misses mips :)
00:14:13Bagderreally? I find that... a bit rough to read
00:14:38*jbit loves mips :)
00:14:45TMMit 'feels' quite high level in places
00:14:49*markun is still waiting for a nice blackfin powered player
00:15:16TMMso, has anyone ever started by just asking the manufacturer for specs?
00:15:24BagderTMM: many times
00:15:26jbitmy asm preference is probably like mips, vu, arm, ppc, tonnes of other things, x86
00:15:35BagderTMM: they usually just not respond at all

00:16:36Bagderno

00:17:22Bagderah true

00:22:45Bagderwell, mostly you can tear apart (and scan) the only one
00:22:56TMMdid any of the players you guys used initially ever actually run rockbox?
00:23:02TMMie: did they survive?
00:23:37Bagdersure
00:23:39markunTMM: my gigabeat survived, I use it every day now
00:23:46Bagdermost of them survive
00:23:56Bagderif you just are careful
00:24:00TMMalso: did anyone ever see the ipod nano 2 type encryption used in any other player ?
00:24:06TMMor was I misinformed on that as well?
00:24:16markunhow were you informed?

00:26:06TMMmarkun: a user that bought a mark 1 player because SAID he read somewhere that the mark 2 players weren't supported because of some elaborate encryption scheme in the bootloader, that's pretty much all I know
00:26:19 Nick idnar_ is now known as idnar (i=mithrand@unaffiliated/idnar)
00:26:54BagderTMM: I don't think anyone knows enough about the nano 2nd gen encryption to be able to tell if that same one is used elsewhere
00:27:13markunmaybe in the shuffle 2nd gen
00:27:21TMMI didn't mean the same sort, but just, if other players have such a nifty feature as well
00:27:35TMMie: what are the chances of that iaudio 7 having such a neat little 'feature'
00:27:42BagderTMM: most players have the firmware scrambled or encrypted in one way or another
00:28:03TMMI suppose that's where the emulator comes in?
00:28:42markunnot really
00:28:45Bagderwell, an emulator would be handy for that but so far no such scheme has been cracked with an emulator afaik
00:29:27markunBagder: shonky supposedly used a ARM emulator to figure out the encryption of the Gigabeat's firmware files
00:29:31TMMI'm not entirely sure what a BDM/JTAG emulator is, so far google has only turned up product pages designed for people who already know what they are buying
00:29:38amiconnHrmph. There are tons of module players for the GUS, but they're either asm, pascal, or c++ and much newer than what I'd expect. Or not open source at all
00:29:40Bagderaha
00:30:31rasheramiconn: perhaps preglow was right about it being private stuff by kb then

00:31:47amiconnDumb is far from (2)
00:32:20tumuamiconn, achieving (2) sounds like fine plan :)

00:32:47TMMmarkun: wouldn't they deliberately make it impossible to use that standard then? if it is so widely available?

00:33:16amiconnYes, and I am not, obviously
00:33:18tumui'm not interested on inaccurate playback
00:33:32markunTMM: it's also useful for the company developing the player..
00:33:35amiconnYou won't be able to make dumb run on an 11MHz CPU, will you?

00:35:11tumuamiconn, i used to write own module players in my 68k times
00:35:43amiconnEven the current codec needs quite some asm optimisation to make it realtime on such a low-end cpu

05:26:21GodEater_no
05:27:00IrreducibilisBut "supported" is not a requirement to work.... for example I use Microsoft Virtual PC 2007 with Linux on it, and that is not supported

05:28:31GodEater_Rockbox runs on the players listed on www.rockbox.org's front page, and that's all
05:28:51IrreducibilisAnd have you tried it with other players with no success?
05:28:53GodEater_it doesn't magically run on players until people do the *very* hard work to make it happen
05:29:32IrreducibilisWell then, do you know of anything else that is for the Zen?

06:00
06:01:18JerryLangeit patches fine but when i go to compile i get errors
06:04:12GodEater_that would imply that patch is either incomplete, or just plain wrong.

09:00:36JerryLangeim looking stuff up. hopefully i find something to fix this problem
09:00:36DavidGWRawsonSo there's TAPE images? Wow.
09:00:37scorchecygwin is very slow
09:00:39ddaltonlots faster
09:01:26SofianBabaiso it's rater normal it takes me so much time to generate voice files with cybwin ...
09:01:48ddalton"rater" ?
09:02:02ddaltonBut building voice files on windows is pretty fast
09:02:04SofianBabairatehr sory
09:02:10ddaltonok
09:02:13SofianBabaiwhoops rather
09:02:18 Quit TMM ("Ex-Chat")
09:02:36ddaltondoes it take a long time on your cygwin?
09:02:48SofianBabaibizarre don't understand whay it is so long for me ...
09:02:54ddaltonhow long?
09:03:04SofianBabaimy computer is not so old
09:03:15SofianBabaiabout 10 mn
09:03:37ddaltonmine takes about 5 but it has a dual core so that helps
09:03:47SofianBabaimaybe
09:03:59ddaltonwell it is to processers
09:04:01ddaltontwo
09:04:20SofianBabaiso that's why i still want to automate this building stuff
09:04:24DavidGWRawsonThe DS has two arm processors
09:04:34ddaltonso what do you want to happen?
09:04:51scorcheDavidGWRawson: were you getting somewhere with that?
09:04:51JerryLangewhat do i want my ethernet set up as in vm?
09:05:03DavidGWRawsonI'm wondering if arm processors are similar.
09:05:03SofianBabaiddalton: r u talking to me ?
09:05:10ddaltonyes
09:05:10scorchesimilar to what?
09:05:40SofianBabaijust want to automate the process to build three voices files (for three targets)
09:05:51ddaltonwhen should it run?
09:05:57DavidGWRawsonThere are DS homebrew games that were built for arm based processors. If you modify the source code, then you may run it on a sansa, or other arm processors.
09:05:58ddaltonwhen you run a script?
09:06:00JerryLangedo i want my eithernet in vm bridged, nat, or host?
09:06:11ddaltonbridge I would say
09:06:23B4gderSofianBabai: you should make sure you make use of the POOL feature
09:06:57SofianBabaibagder: i don't know how to uise it
09:07:00SofianBabaiuse
09:07:14SofianBabaigotta have some reading but it's quite hard

09:07:35SofianBabaib4gder sory
09:07:38ddaltonSofianBabai: You want to run a script that will build 3 voice files for separate targets?
09:07:48SofianBabaiddalton: yes
09:08:00ddaltonso it should build them when you run the script?
09:08:17B4gderhttp://svn.rockbox.org/viewvc.cgi/www/tools/buildall-voices.pl?view=markup
09:08:19DavidGWRawsonwill spectrum run .tzx files?
09:08:24SofianBabaiddalton exactly
09:08:32 Join petur [0] (n=petur@rockbox/developer/petur)
09:08:37B4gderthat's basically the script we use to build the daily voices
09:08:50ddaltonok let me have a look. You might be able to just run 3 make files but not sure.
09:08:55ddaltonor write a shell script
09:08:59SofianBabaii've tried this script but it seems to make the folders but nothing is created
09:09:23SofianBabaii've modified it for the french language with rasher's help
09:09:45SofianBabaii'm sure it's simple
09:09:58SofianBabaibut it requires knowledge that i don't ave yet :)
09:10:39ddaltonI am going to try and write it for you. It will hopefully build for all targets but let me see how far I get
09:11:19SofianBabaiddalton: thanks. it would help me to understand hox it works to build it by myself for something else
09:11:33JerryLangeam i typing this correct? "\\debian\user" ?
09:11:34markunDavidGWRawson: it's in the wiki page
09:11:42ddaltonYou could read the script once it is done. (If it gets done)
09:11:47markun"For using it you must get a tape (tzx,tap) or snapshot (sna,z80) file."
09:11:51ddaltonI am reading about it now
09:12:27SofianBabaimaybe the script is using the old voice generation process or it may be adapted to run under cygwin

09:16:08DavidGWRawsonThis is out of topic, but can the .tzx images be written back to tape?
09:16:26DavidGWRawsonJust curious
09:17:07scorchewhy are you asking it if you already know it is offtopic?
09:17:17JerryLangeim about to throw my computer out the window
09:17:19scorche...havent you been warned enough about this sort of thing?
09:17:35SofianBabaiddalton: i mean itegrating successfully this patch in a build

09:18:19SofianBabaiok
09:18:59ddaltonwhat targets?
09:19:06ddaltondo you want the voice files for?
09:20:11SofianBabaiddalton: sansa e200 , iaudio x5, iriver h120 iriver h340
09:20:15JerryLangei set my ethernet to bridged and i get this error "The virtual machine may not be able to communicate with the host or with other machines on your network."
09:20:31SofianBabaibut i think we just need to comment the lines of the other players
09:20:34ddaltonSapi5?
09:20:39SofianBabaithose we don't want to build a voice file for
09:20:47SofianBabaisapi yes
09:20:52ddaltonwhat there is already a script?
09:21:16SofianBabaithe pl script b4gdeg gives the url
09:21:26SofianBabaibut maybe a bash script would be easier to do
09:21:40SofianBabaib4gder
09:21:44amiconnSofianBabai: The first build of a voice in a build dir takes a bit longer because it (unnecessarily) builds bitmaps, but subsequent voice builds in the same build dir should be fast (only deleting the old .voice from that dir before 'make voice')
09:21:50ddaltonyeah I will try a shell script
09:22:05ddaltonIts a good project for someone like me. :-)
09:22:10B4gderddalton: why not just use the already-written script?

09:40:34JerryLangeyes i am i really should change my irc nick
09:41:04GodEater_JerryLange: to be honest, I'd be tempted to wipe your entire svn tree, and checkout the whole thing again
09:41:10GodEater_but it's up to you
09:41:25JerryLangethats what i was thinking actually but that takes awhile
09:41:44GodEater_indeed - but it may be quicker than diagnosing what went wrong with your patching
09:42:00JerryLangeim going to try this build i compiled in a new folder and see what that does.

09:43:57GodEater_JerryLange: dillo is a very small webbrowser - will be useful for you to post pastebin's instead of screenshots in future
09:44:07GodEater_it's not very good for complex sites though
09:44:19GodEater_so if you plan on doing much webbrowsing, you might need something better
09:44:26JerryLangewhoops talked too soon. also i dont have like dsl internet just dial up. does this matter with vm?
09:44:32GodEater_for pastebin though - it should do

09:50:23B4gderyou should use the POOL
09:50:38B4gderthen it doesn't matter that you remove all files between the builds
09:51:01SofianBabaibut i don't understand what is a pool. a template ?
09:51:17JerryLange after i run make clean i repatch and then compile again?
09:51:23B4gderno, it's a directory where the script puts the output mp3 files
09:51:32B4gderso that subsequent builds can re-use them withotu regenerating them
09:51:56SofianBabaiok i got it. here i always delete the whole stuff
09:52:00SofianBabaito be sure
09:52:03B4gderyes you should

11:24:11kickerThere is (in RB, I mean) an implementation of strcasestr which (as the comment says) is very fast. Why not adjust it for strstr? Or a these two funcs so different?

11:25:11ZagorI would be surprised if the linux strstr isn't very fast too
11:27:08Zagorhowever if you enjoy that sort of thing, by all means dig in and start benchmarking.
11:27:14kickerZagor: I have not looked inside strcasestr but I've heard that there are very fast string search algorithms (by Knuth & Co?). So I thought that strcasestr implements them. But for short strings it might not be worth the hassle. Simplicity is also a gift.

14:32:34GodEater_we don't handle such sweeping requests - for better or worse
14:32:48B4gderironicly, 95% of these attempts halt when they start talking about which logo they should use
14:32:55directhex|workthat's not always the case though - often with an OSS project, you can do as much work as you like on an idea, it still won't appear upstream

14:33:27directhex|workif upstream conceptually disagrees, then your idea is dead in the water. so it makes *sense* to start off looking for conceptual agreement

15:33:37krazykitlet's see, we have a wiki page for this... lemme find it
15:33:56krazykithttp://www.rockbox.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/BuyersGuide
15:33:57sgsaxI'd say it'd largely be a matter of personal preference
15:34:21sgsaxI just got a sansa e260 and have been very happy with it so far

15:41:55B4gderhey!
15:41:56krazykitnot terribly useful, though, without knowing how to use any of the hardware.
15:42:02LloreanBut it's a start.
15:42:08B4gderwe "know" its an arm
15:42:15Zagorat least so says Peter Glaskowsky: http://www.news.com/8301-10784_3-9775240-7.html

15:45:48B4gderall those files and only one new key... :-)
15:45:55Zagoraha. hehe.
15:46:15Zagorapparently my old/original firmware had a different key
15:46:24B4gder1.00.03?
15:46:27Zagoryes
15:46:30B4gderbingo
15:46:47Zagorthat's why I couldn't install rockbox

15:48:13lymecaCan Rockbox work on 1st and 2nd generation iPods?
15:48:19Zagora downside to the OF.mi4 option is that the OF scans the files every time you disconnect USB. annoying, AND uses up precious disk space
15:49:06B4gderZagor: yeah, it does that on the e200 too

15:51:05Lloreanlymeca: bootloader is the noun representing the file that contains the boot loader. :-P
15:51:05lymecaHmm but once you install it it works right?
15:51:37Lloreanlymeca: You can't install without a bootloader.
15:51:50lymecaOh dear
15:51:55LloreanAnyway who installs successfully has compiled their own from SVN.
15:52:35Zagorso what are we missing to ship 1/2g bootloaders?
15:52:43lymecaThen how can you run Rockbox on 1st/2nd gens if you can't install it?
15:52:53LloreanZagor: I believe we're missing a process to install them other than the old ipod_fw tool.
15:53:04Zagorah
15:53:14Lloreanlymeca: It can be installed, just not in an easy / "safe" way.
15:54:26lymecaLlorean: Is there a place I can go to read about the process?

16:00:49LloreanAt least I *think* iPodPatcher doesn't work with firewire iPods.
16:02:34fir3sgsax: what plugins are working with your player?
16:03:00sgsaxeverything I've tried has worked so far
16:03:49fir3even video playback/games(doom)
16:03:52fir3?
16:04:10sgsaxvideo playback: yes; doom: I haven't tried yet
16:04:23sgsaxI got about 21-23fps on video
16:05:39fir3is video still fine with 21fps?
16:05:40oboLlorean: I thought it was to do with being unable to shut the unit down (without booting into the OF)
16:05:41JdGordonwithout reimplementing the scrollbar logic.. does anyone have any idea how to rouphly guess which item in the list to select to have the scroll bit at a certain pixel on the screen?
16:06:03sgsaxlooked good to me
16:06:22sgsaxforeground looked great, background got a little washed out
16:06:28markunBagder: can you also try the new keys on the firmares that didn't pass? (philips HD6330 for example)
16:06:29sgsaxat least on the elephant dream demo
16:06:33Lloreanobo: The units never shut down, so it's really just a question of our sleep vs their sleep.
16:06:49fir3sgsax: so i could even watch a movie without any probs? what codecs are supported?
16:07:09sgsaxpretty sure the mpegplayer plugin only suports mpeg1 & 2
16:07:17oboLlorean: true, but I don't think any way of making them sleep has been worked out... :)
16:07:47B4gdermarkun: I doubt that'll lead to anything...
16:07:49Lloreanobo: Yeah, I believe amiconn's working on our sleep code, but I don't think that's what's preventing posting a bootloader, it's just what's in the way of that port being "working well"
16:07:56fir3sgsax: these .3gp videos don't work, right?
16:08:05sgsaxbut there are good docs on the plugin wiki for converting
16:08:27sgsaxat least not with the built-in plugin
16:09:04sgsaxbut if mplayer or vlc can play it on your workstation, you can convert it to mpeg and then upload it to your player

16:21:18pixelmayeah, I mean in rockbox - currently there is a bug when you use voice and mpegplayer, basically mpegplayer becomes unusable then. There already is a bug report for it.
16:21:31sgsaxis the usb problem being actively worked on?

16:22:22fir3do all player support the rockbox feature "pull out headphones-pause-plug in-playback resume"?
16:22:40low_lightJdGordon: just the 100
16:22:51Lloreanamiconn: When was that fixed. I know until recently people were still reporting troubles with RBUtil which was supposed to have code that would work for 1G/2G iPods.
16:22:55JdGordon:( ok
16:23:01B4gdermbrobe 100 is a PP target
16:23:05delYsidfir3: my sansa does not.
16:23:05B4gder500 is a dm320...
16:23:10B4gderquite different
16:23:22Zagornot all targets have headphone detection
16:23:36low_lightI thought there was linux on the 500
16:23:40JdGordonyeah, ok, i was hoping the way to get the code on was the same though... ill just sit and wait for kkurbjan then
16:23:43fir3too bad :/
16:23:46amiconnLlorean: That was fixed a looong time ago, however, rbutil can't install a bootloader it doesn't have access to
16:23:49B4gderlow_light: most likely yes
16:23:52JdGordonthere is.. its painfully slow..
16:24:02B4gderbut they tend to not release any interesting code anyway
16:24:08Lloreanamiconn: Hm.. Okay, my mistake then. I thought it was still reporting it couldn't detect the devices. =/
16:24:17B4gderneuros of course has linux on a dm320 as well
16:24:17delYsidfir3: agreed, it would have been nice to have.

17:41:04AKXOr.. Hmm.
17:41:25SoapAKX: That is all well and good, but as stated in the IRC topic - you are asked to read the IrcGuidelines wiki page, in which the off-topic nature of unsupported builds are addressed. Despite the slow nature of the IRC channel at this time of day, it is primarly a developement channel, and is logged. Piezo WAS supported on the 5G, I used to play with the patch, but haven't in months so I can not speak as to its current state.
17:42:50AKXAlrighty, Soap. I'll try and figure it out. Just going to say this - I've only had Rockbox for two days and I'm liking it much more than the retail firmware already :)
17:42:51markunbut just a discussion about the piezo patch is not completely off topic
17:43:19oboI've got a slightly newer version of that patch at home, I'll have to post it at somepoint...
17:45:17oboit still sounds a bit odd without using timer_register

17:50:57fir3sgsax: usb not working sounds bad :/ how do you organize your music/charge the player then? by booting the original firmware?
17:51:22AKXOh, yeah, forgot.. How do I reset Rockbox's settings on iPod 5G/60GB? (I tried using the hold switch, but it either did nothing, or started the orig firmware.)
17:51:38krazykitfir3, yes, that's how.
17:52:12fir3any idea if/when usb will work on sansa players?
17:52:12oboDefineByte: http://www.rockbox.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/DeviceChart
17:52:21SoapAKX: you can reset the settings on your ipod by using the hold switch toggle /after/ rockbox starts to launch.
17:52:36DefineByteoh, thanks
17:52:39AKXWhen it's in the splash screen? Tried that, to no avail...
17:52:49AKXDo I need to toggle it on and off, or on only.. or?
17:52:51Soapfir3: You can use USB with your sansa e200 series player, you just need to reboot into the original firmware at this time to get USB mode.
17:53:14oboAKX: on, it should splash "settings cleared" or something similar onto the screen
17:53:24AKXOkay.. I'll try again.

18:17:05markunfir3: no gamma adjustment
18:17:25sgsaxmany themes have a clock in the status bar
18:17:41sgsaxbut that can be easily changed in the wps config
18:17:50sgsaxand there is a clock plugin
18:18:15fir3markun: because no one wanted to work on it or because it's unsupported on the player?
18:18:46krazykitsgsax, no, lossy to lossy is bad!
18:19:29sgsaxmost of my mp3s are low-quality stream rips, anyway

18:20:57sgsaxI haven't read the manual yet, but I don't think there's a backup battery in there
18:21:36markunfir3: could be either. For the Gigabeat we don't have the datasheet of the LCD driver IC to know how we can change the gamma
18:22:13 Quit Nico_P (Remote closed the connection)
18:22:37n1sfir3: rtc fuctions in chips usually drain _very_ little power and the player has hardware protecting the battery from being drained too low when the player is on so you will always have enough to power the rtc
18:23:00sgsaxnow that's cool

19:39:49amiconnThe hwcodec engine has no separate track management struct

19:40:13Nico_Pit only uses the struct mp3entry ?

19:43:59Nico_PDarkJedi: how old was the version you updated from
19:44:00Nico_P?
19:44:08n1sDarkJedi: with that info all we can say is probably...
19:44:19DarkJediaround 3 months or something lol
19:44:49Nico_PDarkJedi: there have been some changes in the WPS code that made some WPS break
19:44:55amiconnHow old was the version you upgraded from, what theme are you using, and what kind of "not correct" display are you experienceing?
19:45:36DarkJediI was using the jBlack_glass one i believe
19:46:10DarkJedithe background image shows, but nothing else
19:46:12ChrononThat requires a patched build. Did you apply the patches?
19:46:35DarkJedino I didnt know about said patches, what do i need to look for
19:46:36Nico_Pamiconn: do you agree that the ID3 info should go in the main buffer as part of MoB ?
19:47:06amiconnI think so, but you still have to buffer the info of the currently playing track somewhere else
19:47:29amiconn(where it's available all the time until the track ends, even if the track is way larger than the buffer)
19:47:48ChrononThe theme should describe what patches it relies on. You can either find these in the tracker and try to patch the source yourself if you want an up-to-date build. Or you can look for a pre-compiled build that contains these. Often these pre-compiled builds lag behind SVN by quite a bit, though
19:48:29Nico_Pamiconn: I agree about that, but IIRC I still had problems with "elapsed"
19:49:04Nico_Papparently the elpased time needs to be saved for the previous track too
19:49:49*Domonoky is experimenting with the sapi_voice.vbs script from the svn, trying to use it with rbutil.. one problem: if i issue a Speak command, i dont know when the generated wavfile is ready.. so at moment, i am to fast, and lame doesnt find a file to encode to a talk file.. :-/
19:49:59DarkJediChronon, can i just use the jbuild-5g?
19:50:23ChrononIt would seem so. I'm not sure how current it is, though.
19:50:51DarkJediChronon, ok thanks for your help, im gona try that now, stand by :)
19:51:31Nico_Pamiconn: I had problems with codec_pcmbuf_position_callback() from playback.c:1400
19:52:01rasherDomonoky: you should be able to read a "response" from the script on stdout
19:52:14rasherDomonoky: when the wav is done, that is
19:53:27Domonokyrasher: i dont think the sapi_voice sript resonds anything.. but i will try again..
19:53:55*low_light loads the c200 OF from the rockbox bootloader
19:54:02amiconnDomonoky: (1) The vbscript is also able to execute commands, that's how voice.pl uses it (with the added advantage that starting a program this way (== creating a process) is *way* faster from vbscript (windows native api) than from the perl script (going through cygwin's posix layer)

19:54:38low_lightI tried so many thing I'm not sure which was the critical one :/

19:55:12 Quit MethoS- (Read error: 101 (Network is unreachable))
19:55:12amiconnAll commands passed to the vbscript are serialized
19:55:29amiconnAnd if you need to sync - that's what the SYNC command is for
19:55:54amiconnvoice.pl also needs to do that in order to know when the .mp3 is ready, in order to e.g. copy it to the pool
19:56:05Domonokyamiconn: but i use the sapi_voice.vbs script without the perl script..
19:56:32amiconnYou don't need the perl script, but you need to feed sapi_voice.vbs the same way as the perl script does
19:56:38SoapDarkJedi: the jbuild-5g is almost _six months_ old. Not much of an upgrade.
19:57:03Domonokywhat does the SYNC command do ?

19:57:38amiconnIt just echoes its argument
19:58:05amiconnSo if you wait for this echo, you know that the SYNC command executed, and hence all preceding commands executed as well
19:58:23Domonokyah.. so i issue SPEAK ... then SYNC bla and wait for the response of bla ?

20:01:16Domonokyamiconn. jeah i will have to think aout to integrate it best into rbutil.. :-)
20:01:29rasheramiconn: there's not much reason to do a special-case for sapi in rbutil
20:01:36rasherSince it's already running natively
20:01:48amiconnYeah, maybe
20:01:56*amiconn still didn't try rbuitl
20:01:59Domonokyrasher: there is, SAPI with c++ is ugly.. :-)
20:02:06preglowrbutil rocks
20:02:17amiconnI have no use for it...
20:02:38Domonokyrbutil already can generate talkfile with espeak and flite, of course on all 3 plattforms .. :-)
20:02:42preglowme neither, but it's a nice app, worth checking out
20:02:55rasherDomonoky: No I meant that there's no reason to do the encoding inside sapi_voice.vbs
20:03:02*amiconn just uses voicebox for talk clips
20:03:08Domonokyrasher: true..
20:03:33rasherThe only reason it's done like that is that cygwin is dog slow
20:03:35amiconnDomonoky: In fact I was already pondering to handle sapi in an exe instead of a vbs
20:03:59amiconnIt would improve things for sapi4, as the C++ api allows to set the speed (up to 8x)
20:04:17amiconnThe automation interface is supposed to allow that as well, but it doesn't work
20:04:31Domonoky:-)
20:04:43*low_light curses cygwin
20:04:59low_lightcompiling is fast enough, but it sits on make for like 2 minutes
20:05:10amiconnBut that's all cosmetic, not worth anything if the basics aren't stable
20:05:18preglowamiconn: what did you say made cygwin slow again? process creation?
20:05:21Domonokyif you do this in c/c++ i will nick your code... i took a look at microsofts doku of sapi for c++ and its horrible :-)
20:05:21rasherIt's all the processes that are being spawned in the makefiles.
20:05:25amiconnAnd the vbs works, and it works very well as long as you stick to sapi5
20:05:32amiconnpreglow: Yes, mainly
20:05:51amiconnDomonoky: There are examples in vb...
20:05:52preglowyou have to emulate fork() in nasty ways on windows :/
20:05:57preglowthat might be doing it

20:20:26Domonokyif we would put a plugin download/install dialog into rbutil, is this to comlicated for the users ?
20:20:50rasherDomonoky: certainly more complicated than just having the feature available from the start
20:21:08Lloreanrasher: Yes, but what about third-party features?
20:21:21advcomp2019break-, you can try #rockbox-community or #AnythingButiPod
20:21:24rasherSuch as?
20:21:24LloreanPeople like to make 'utilities' to do job X or Y. Download Album Art from Amazon, or some other source, etc.
20:21:44rasherSo either include it in rbutil or deem it unrelated
20:21:56LloreanInstead of having to worry about which patches to include or not, plugins can make these things usable for the users until included in SVN.
20:22:25LloreanAs long as plugin installation is easy enough, why *not* at least allow plugins?
20:23:15rasherI guess you could, but I really think it'd have to be more unrelated that voice generation
20:23:34LloreanYeah, for me plugins should be things like "Album Art download" or "Image scaling" or possibly even "Video Conversion"
20:23:56LloreanBasically things currently handled by third-party apps, but that it would be nice to offer on the "Extras" page.
20:24:07rasherI mean, it's great that qt offers plugin support, but we don't have to use it Just Because
20:24:24Domonokyjeah, i wouldnt want the talk generation as a plugins.. more the tts engines used by this.. (eg. qt code that uses the sapi_voice script..)
20:24:33LloreanPlugins do mean we don't have to constantly publish new versions of RButil every time someone wants it to do something new.

20:31:32webguest58when i turn on my mp3 player i get the message "commiting database [1/9]" but it never goes through the other steps
20:31:57webguest58whenever i select database from the main menu it says "database is not ready. initialize now?"

20:32:39webguest58mp3 and FLAC
20:32:40 Part break-
20:33:02webguest58i had added some WMA and MPEG-4 which i thought might be the problem, so i deleted them and tried again
20:33:03LloreanDo your FLACs *only* have Vorbis comments? Sometimes they end up with ID3 tags.
20:33:09amiconnLlorean: To me this just means there's a bug in the database code
20:33:18Lloreanamiconn: Means the same thing to me. :)
20:33:18webguest58not sure..how can i find out? i'm on ubuntu linux
20:33:27webguest58i've never had a problem with flac before
20:33:28Lloreanwebguest58: Did you create them with grip?

20:33:47webguest58my most recent FLAC's have been with sound juicer, but the database worked fine
20:33:55webguest58what i added most recently was some new mp3's
20:34:12LloreanHave you tried removing those and re-initializing then?
20:34:28pixelmamaybe your mp3s have APE tags?
20:34:46LloreanI think Rockbox safely ignores APE tags, though. Not sure if they affect database building.
20:34:46webguest58i'm not sure which ones they are, and i've got about 15 GB of music on there so i don't want to have to copy it all over..is there a way to check the tags straight off the player?
20:34:50*rasher wonders why the database breaks on bad tags, rather than ignoring them
20:35:17webguest58is there an error message log i could check?
20:35:26Lloreanrasher: It may not be "bad tags" but it's almost always a problem song/file of some sort.
20:35:35webguest58alright
20:35:42webguest58is it something i can fix in the audio file?
20:35:47webguest58like correcting the tag/information?
20:35:52rasherLlorean: Still, this shouldn't cause a crash in any case
20:36:09Lloreanrasher: I agree.
20:36:16webguest58well it's not a crash, per se, just the database not working−−it hasn't locked up or anything
20:36:22pixelmawebguest58: yes, if that's the cause you can fix the tags in the files
20:36:27Lloreanwebguest58: Unfortunately, you'll have to figure out what file is causing it (if any) first.
20:36:51webguest58alright, well i guess i could check the dates to see which ones i added most recently..what should i look for as far as problem tags?
20:37:05rasherIt would be really helpful if the database debug screen showed the name of the last file it tried to read
20:37:14amiconnrasher: That's why I said it means there must be a bug in the database code
20:37:14webguest58definitely
20:37:15n1swebguest58: we would actually be interested in such a file so we can fix the code so if you find out which files cause it could you send it to some interested rockbox dev?
20:37:41amiconnNo matter what tags you throw at it, it should ignore them when they're invalid, but not freeze or crash
20:37:56webguest58yes i will−−i just found the last two albums i added, and i'm about to check the tags and i'll tell you what i see
20:37:56LloreanIf database scanned in the foreground, it could actually provide the user with information when it failed, couldn't it?
20:38:00n1swebguest58: the easies way to find which files break it is via a "binary search"
20:38:11rasherPerhaps it would be interesting to try a file-fuzzer

20:39:46webguest58i checked a file from each of the two albums, using the "file" command-line program under linux; here's the output: "Audio file with ID3 version 23.0 tag, MP3 encoding"
20:39:58webguest58the second file is exactly the same except it says "version 24.0"
20:40:00Lloreanamiconn: Yeah, but it could then provide feedback as to which files were skipped that are of valid formats.

21:03:52webguest58i had had a lot of wma's with very large comment tags, and i noticed these long comments in one of the tag database files−−i don't know if that could have caused the problem
21:04:14webguest58should i wait to scan until it finishes building the database, or stop it and scan now?
21:06:27 Quit Nico_P (Remote closed the connection)
21:07:26n1swebguest58: doesn't matter, just ruling out possible disk corruption as a source of the troubles but the tags are more likely I'd say
21:07:52webguest58well apparently it's building the database right now, but i'll definitely scan it once it's done
21:08:33webguest58the player has been bumped around a bit though..i'm not really sure exactly how fragile or sturdy these things are, but reading files from disk takes a long time sometimes and i don't know if that's normal
21:09:08n1swebguest58: they can usually take quite a beating :-)
21:09:37webguest58that's what i thought
21:10:00webguest58is there a way to reformat the disk and put rockbox back on afterwards?
21:10:33webguest58if i've got filesystem problems (hoping that there's nothing wrong physically with the drive...) i thought reformatting would be the easiest way to take care of any potential problems
21:13:01sgsaxflash memory is usually pretty durable
21:13:06webguest58obviously that would destroy the .rockbox directoy, and i didn't know enough to know if i would lose all of rockbox along with it..or is rockbox loaded in the firmware, and the directory only used for configuration storage, etc.?
21:14:01Lloreanwebguest58: Generally speaking, you need the Rockbox directory, but you'll be able to extract a new one onto the player after deleting it.
21:14:06sgsaxdepends on the nature of the possible failure
21:15:36webguest58do you know the command for formatting it correctly using a linux machine?
21:16:40n1swebguest58: mkfs.vfat
21:17:46webguest58are all the default settings appropriate? (such as sectors-per-cluster, logical-sector-size, etc.)
21:17:55sgsaxshould be
21:18:03webguest58ok thanks i'll try that
21:18:14sgsaxunless you're really picky about that kind of thing and want to do your own tuning
21:18:28webguest58i wouldn't even know how
21:18:46sgsaxsame here, that's why I just trust the defaults :)
21:18:51webguest58does it degrade battery performance to use the player while it's charging, or should i wait till it's fully charged before using it?
21:18:56sgsaxguess that makes me less geeky
21:19:32sgsaxI charged mine for maybe an hour when I first got it, so it's never really been fully charged
21:19:50sgsaxprobably depends on the player and what its power circuit is like
21:20:05webguest58i've almost always let it almost die, and then completely recharge before using it again, which i thought would lead to longer battery life
21:20:25webguest58but lately i've noticed the length of use after a full charge has decreased noticeably
21:20:26sgsaxsupposedly
21:20:32sgsaxhow old is it?
21:20:55sgsaxli-ion batts degrade over time, I think you start noticing it after about a year
21:21:08sgsaxat least on laptops
21:21:11webguest58i'm not exactly sure. a friend gave it to me. i don't think he'd used it very much, but he'd had it a long time i think.
21:21:56webguest58it used to be that i'd go for sometimes weeks without recharging it, now i have to charge it every few days
21:22:02tumudumb compiles and links
21:22:29rasherYou're not supposed to let li-ion batteries discharge fully
21:22:38rasherThey like frequent re-fills, afaik
21:23:29webguest58dangit..i usually let it get down to where it give a low battery alert and shuts off. sometimes it gets so low the backlight starts to flicker and it doesn't have enough power to read the disk, but i try to shut it off before it gets to that point.
21:23:56webguest58but i guess my philosophy of letting it completely discharge hasn't helped it
21:24:30Lloreanli-ion are supposed to like frequent, shorter charges according to what i've read too.
21:24:36webguest58would it be better to charge it whenever the battery meter gets down to about 25% or what do you recommend?
21:24:36n1safaik the three things that li-ion batteries like the least are being (1) hot, (2) deep discharged, (3) fully charged for during a long time

21:26:58amiconnPerhaps using the action system - that's up to the plugin author/maintainer

21:33:04pixelmaLlorean: I got weird problems when working on the patch for the c200 buttons in plugins - and it took really long to find out what was going on because I had to look in a few places. When thinking of changing the keymap in the pluginlib, I always get to the point "what impact does it have on other plugins" - and there are already hacks in e.g. bubbles.c (the first plugin that was moved over!) to circumvent the problem... basically defining on own

21:44:25amiconnlow_light: ddi0100e_arm_arm.pdf part A section 5.1.3
21:44:46amiconn(page 222)
21:44:50preglowlow_light: you can only load constants formed from rotated eight bit constants on arm
21:45:05preglowlow_light: 0xff00 would be ok, 0xfff0 is four bits too many
21:45:32amiconnAnd the rotation must be by an even number of bits
21:45:43preglowlow_light: that particular constant i'd code as "mov r2, #0xff00; orr r2, r2, 0xf0;" though
21:46:34amiconnThat ldr is easier to write & understand, and I doubt that it's slower than the mov/orr
21:46:50preglowyeah, but the second is very common
21:47:13amiconnI know that it is common, but I don't understand why
21:47:16preglowfor some reason
21:47:30amiconnMaybe it's a leftover from earlier arm generations
21:47:43low_lighthere's the magic numbers: http://rafb.net/p/xT2a4i62.html
21:48:01preglowamiconn: well, in theory, the second one is one cycle faster
21:48:11preglowldr can be three cycles minimum
21:48:18preglowthe mov + orr sequence is always two cycles
21:48:32preglowdepending on arm revision, of course, talking arm7tdmi here
21:48:36amiconnWhere did you find arm execution times?
21:48:39low_lightit's probably more straight forward to leave it as is.
21:48:54preglowamiconn: either arm arm or some other doc on arm.com
21:49:03preglowamiconn: i would be surprised if the arm arm doc didn't have it
21:49:13linuxstbSo how does the ldr work? Is it encoded in more than 32 bits?
21:49:14amiconnI couldn't find it there
21:49:17preglowlinuxstb: 32 bits
21:49:42amiconnlinuxstb: No, it performs a pc relative load, and dumps the constant into the constant pool
21:49:51preglowlinuxstb: ldr rx, =0xbleh is coded as ldr lr, [pc, #offset] plus one entry in the constant pool
21:49:55preglowso it's turned into 64 bits effectively
21:50:00preglowthe same amount as the two instruction sequence
21:50:38Soul-SlayerAm I just unlucky, or does the Ipod Mini G2 not go directly into disk mode when the USB is entered now, instead it crashes?
21:51:03preglowamiconn: probably found it in the arm7tdmi doc on arm.com
21:51:18linuxstbpreglow: Ah OK, so it's not really an instruction, the assembler expands it?

21:52:17amiconnIt's build dependent though, and we don't know why that happens
21:52:36amiconnSo if you're lucky, the next build you install won't have that problem
21:53:00preglowlinuxstb: well, it's kind of a mix between an instruction and an asm macro

22:22:14linuxstblow_light: On the e200 (and R), the firmware partition contains both the Sansa bootloader and the main Sansa firmware (with a mi4 header). sansapatcher replaces the main Sansa firmware mi4 image with the Rockbox bootloader mi4 image, and appends an unencrypted copy of the Sansa firmware mi4 to the end of the RB bootloader mi4 (for dual-booting).
22:27:26low_lightright...that much I kind knew.
22:27:40low_lightkind of
22:28:16low_lightI was hoping it would be a matter of adding the appropriate id's & offsets for the c200
22:29:00linuxstbFirst thing would be to make sansapatcher identify a c200 (and distinguish it from an e200).

23:44:09linuxstbAssuming Soap doesn't shout in the next few minutes, can you update ipodpatcher and the ipod bootloaders on the download server?
23:44:27 Part ddalton
23:44:47Bagderyeps, the http://www.davechapman.f2s.com/rockbox/ipodpatcher.zip one?
23:44:56BagderI got obo's binary as well
23:45:11linuxstbYes, and bootloaders.zip at the same place.
23:45:24Bagderokay
23:46:06tumuhmm
23:46:29tumuthe docs about running firmware file on e200 is wrong
23:46:31linuxstbBagder: BTW, is there a way to change the VERSION string in a build? I made a change to configure to allow it, but maybe I missed something that's there already.

23:46:44tumuextension .e200 does nothing
23:46:45linuxstb(a bootloader build)
23:46:57tumuhas to be .mi4

23:47:51Bagderlinuxstb: can't you just set it on the command line? "make VERSION=moo" ?
23:48:18Bagdertumu: sounds like a left-over from the past then
23:48:21linuxstbDoes that override the value set in the Makefile itself?
23:48:50BagderI thought that's what you wanted. ;-)
23:49:03linuxstbIt is, but I wouldn't expect that to work.
23:49:08tumuBagder, seems like that.. any of the manual people around?
23:49:29n1stumu: I'm looking at it, it's a simple fix
23:49:46tumuexcellent
23:50:09n1sbut while I'm at it I thought I might fix it for other targets too...
23:50:18n1sso, does the H10 even have rolo?
23:50:23n1sand the ipods?
23:50:53linuxstbBagder: Hmm, seems it does work, but I don't understand why - the main makefile explictly does "export VERSION=....."
23:51:04Soaplinuxstb: No apparent problems on the 5th gen either.
23:51:24Bagderlinuxstb: the environment simply has higher prio so the assignment in the makefile is ignored

23:52:17Bagderlinuxstb: upload it is then?

23:52:38linuxstbBagder: Yep. And I guess we can add 1g/2g to the front page.
23:52:51Bagdergreat
23:53:04linuxstb(unless amiconn objects...)
23:53:28linuxstbAt least it's installable, unlike the e200r...
23:55:49 Quit freqmod (Remote closed the connection)
23:57:06n1stumu: ok, should be fixed now and will go into tomorrows manual
23:57:25linuxstbSoap: BTW, thanks for testing and enduring the OF.
23:57:39Bagderdownload server and front page updated
