#rockbox log for 2007-09-29

00:01:41DefineBytewhat's 'ID3DB' in 'apps/actions.h' (amongst other places)? Why is it named that (it's not just for ID3 data is it?)?
00:03:29ZagorDefineByte: that's the database, as opposed to the file tree
00:03:53Bagderbut no, it is for all meta data
00:04:03Zagorcorrect
00:04:10DefineBytedid rockbox only support id3 at some point?
00:04:16Bagderyes

00:04:28Bagderwhile it only supported mp3 for example ;-)
00:04:40DefineByteso just DATABASE would probably be better, no?
00:04:50Bagderthat's why it is called just database
00:05:01Bagderthe name in the source is less important imho
00:05:11bluebrotherthe wps context menu also still talks of id3 data ...
00:05:19Bagderah yes
00:05:19 Quit Nimdae (SendQ exceeded)
00:05:25bluebrotherwould be more important to change that to something better matching.
00:05:25Bagderthat really should be changed
00:05:34bluebrotherthe database is also still tagcache in the code
00:05:36DefineByteyeah i was gonna make a patch that changed all generic id3s to metadata
00:05:46DefineBytein the code

00:06:07bluebrotherI don't see a reason why it's needed to adjust the names in the code ...
00:06:22bluebrotheras it's rather clear. Well, at least I think it is ;-)
00:06:34DefineByteyeah well x) i'm bored
00:07:30bluebrotherany good suggestion for the id3 info string?
00:08:07DefineByte'Show ID3 Info' you mean? 'Show Metadata' I guess
00:08:08bluebrotherZagor: btw, I had the idea of adding an anchor using the svn revision to all those longer svn log tables. What'd you think?
00:08:20bluebrothercould be handy for linking to a specific change
00:08:44ZagorI think we should rather link to svn.rockbox.org in such cases
00:08:53Zagorthe lists will expire, svn will not
00:09:23bluebrotheris it possible to link to a specific change? I.e. the complete commit instead of a single file change?
00:09:34Zagoryes. one minute...
00:10:38Zagorhttp://svn.rockbox.org/viewvc.cgi?view=rev&revision=14817
00:11:04Zagorthe irc reader links there whenever you say something like "r14818"
00:11:35bluebrotheroh, cool. Wasn't aware of that :)

00:13:42Zagorprobably just doesn't freak out at the lack of itunes database :)
00:13:45*Zagor is cynical
00:14:16bluebrotherpossibly −− but that release also has "more wockas per square inch" ;-)
00:14:21KleviSilly question... how do i erase text on the virtual Keyboard...?
00:14:44preglowisn't there some kind of program that creates our database?
00:14:54preglowi distinctly remember seeing ifdefs for that in our code

00:15:03Lars_G_I took the lovely plunge
00:15:05Bagderyes, it can be built for host
00:15:19preglowdoes it work?
00:15:20Bagderbut I don't think anyone or anything is using that
00:15:21Nico_PBagder, bluebrother: it actually doesn't do much... I think it checks for .rockbox and if it exists it just changes the supported formats list
00:15:23Lars_G_I've redefined my iPod as generic player in amarok, and moving everything outside ipod_control
00:15:27Nico_Por something like tha
00:15:48preglowman, how i love jewels
00:15:57preglowjewels and bubbles = great games
00:16:04bluebrotherah, that sounds reasonable ... Ipod can't play ogg and stuff :)
00:16:06Lars_G_Bubbles is great
00:16:18KleviJewels is aweome
00:16:26Lars_G_But one of the rocks I love the most, beleive me or not, is the vumeter
00:16:31preglowand both of them look sleek as hell too
00:16:34KleviI had that EXACT game on my old phone.. >>
00:16:35pixelmaKlevi: on c200 - rec+down to erase the latter, rec+left/right to move around in the line you want to edit. Still a weird buttonmap, I know
00:16:45KleviOdd. but thanks
00:17:09Klevi... cant it be just the record button to erase and left and right to move the cursor?
00:17:20Lars_G_Btw a little odd question for the e280 owners, sorry for the OT... can the OF read the supported video files off any directory? or only an ipod like hidden, database registered copy?
00:17:29Nico_Pbluebrother: http://mail.kde.org/pipermail/amarok/2007-May/003481.html
00:17:43BagderLars_G: the OF only has a db afaik

00:19:15Klevi?? How do I save the editing I make?
00:19:44pixelmaKlevi: you need left and right to move around in the letters but maybe enabling line edit mode would be nice here (that means that you can directly "step" on the edit line). But maybe I'm biased because I have only other targets that have this
00:19:52bluebrotherobo: just wanted to try the latest version of FS #5111, it doesn't build for the mini2g :(
00:19:58Lars_G_preglow: trouble is, how to easily do a framerate limit without using the rtc which is afaik not supported on the sim?
00:20:22obobluebrother: hmm, okay, checking here now
00:20:33KleviI realized that after a second of typing. but that sounds like a good idea
00:20:38pixelmaKlevi: with the volume buttons (up/down doesn't matter). I know... :\
00:20:47bluebrotherobo: I get this error http://pastebin.ca/719059

00:21:28KleviNo, the volume button UP saves your edit actually..
00:21:32Kleviit matters.

00:32:59bluebrotherobo: the button click sometimes gets messed up by itself −− a new beep is about to be played while the old one is still played.
00:33:09bluebrotherat least it sounds like something like this.
00:33:16oboa bit of a screech?
00:33:27bluebrotherand it's rather weird to have the setting in the playback menu imo
00:33:42bluebrotheryes, some kind of screeching noise. Easily to reproduce in the wps
00:34:23oboyup - it checks to see if it's already playing, and won't play again if it is
00:34:52Nico_Ptoffe82: http://nicolas.pennequin.free.fr/rockbox/dump%20070929-003332.bmp
00:35:15bluebrotherbut why do I get those high-pitched screeching?
00:36:03obobut without using the usec timer, the current method is a bit of a bodge - it's yielding until a certain time period has passed, but if some other thread takes awhile to execute
00:36:14bluebrotherit's quite nice otherwise
00:36:24oboit will delay the piezo being turned off
00:38:13pixelmaNico_P, toffe82: wouldn't it be nicer to get all functions in one screen (when it fits on the larger screens) instead of having to switch between two "modes"?
00:39:01toffe82pixelma: it will be small but it should be possible
00:39:31Nico_Ptoffe82: see what I mean ?
00:40:30toffe82Nico_P: yes , but I didn't see it , I will check better when I have some times
00:40:48pixelmait has to stay the way for the smaller screens anyway, but there are other plugins that provide different solutions depending on resolution (e.g. small board ot vertical for sudoku)
00:41:01pixelma*or
00:42:10toffe82pixelma: I like it like this on the gigabeat because I don't have to put my glasses ;)

00:52:49Nic0_Ptoffe82: 123-3 for example
00:53:10toffe82I found the problem, it is due to the font
00:53:25Nic0_Pwhen I select the second "3", the screen displays "33", but then I select "=" and get 120
00:53:28Nic0_Pah
00:53:37toffe82I use the profont 22
00:53:56Nic0_PI'm using nimbus 19 on the sim
00:54:17toffe82try the profont

00:55:33toffe82I have to check why ?
00:55:36Nic0_Pit would be nice to align the texts to the right whatever the font
00:55:40pixelmathe digits should all have the same width in one font
00:55:59toffe82is the nimbus a variable font or fixed ? and the profont ?
00:57:01toffe82same problem with the profont 12 it start on the middle

01:03:10toffe82so if the size font is small we write from the middle and profont 22 is perfect for the screen of the gigabeat
01:03:39CamphireSorry to bother, could anyone help me out? My sansa e280 won't turn on or off, just gives me a black screen and blue LEDs. I think it didn't like the USB connect...

01:03:46toffe82Am I right ?

01:10:12ZagorDefineByte: the patch looks ok, but I'm not sure "Metadata" is a good word. "track info" or even "song info" is probably more in line with how people are thinking about it
01:10:16Nico_Ptoffe82: you give it a font number
01:10:19*pixelma should get some sleep... nn

01:11:01toffe82ok but where is the font number ?

01:32:06|Rain|sure wish I did. you could try looking at timidity's sources, but it's a beast... dunno how easy it'll be to find the relevant stuff
01:33:07stevenm|Rain|, you know what I am talking about, right? some instruments just don't sound right
01:33:30Nico_PLars_G_: the settings for it are the most controversial part
01:33:43Lars_G_Nico_P: how so
01:33:49stevenmNormally you can't tell, but sometimes you'll get the same instrument playing several notes. And if those notes fall into two different waveforms (on the same patch) and the waveforms have different tuning, then it sounds BAD
01:34:14Lars_G_Btw How big must the contribution be for our name to drop in the Credits? ;)
01:34:20Nico_PLars_G_: understandably, some people think it's bloat to have three more settings for this feature
01:34:34Nico_Pthey'd prefer the configuration to be restricted to the cfg files
01:34:41Lars_G_visually so?
01:34:42Lars_G_hmmm.
01:34:48stevenmI've been digging through timidity but that thing is GIGANTIC. I don't even know which bytes in the wave store this info, let alone how to use it. I'm at the point where I can start editing the files and the diffing the output
01:35:01Nico_PLars_G_: especially in terms of binary size and menu complexity
01:35:31Lars_G_Nico_P: more than the .cfg I'd tie the three settings to the theme file. store the settings there, set a default value in the default theme, and let any theme who wants to, override it.

04:09:26stevenmLambdaCalculus37, Hmmm. buffer misses come from not being able to calculate enough data in time
04:09:42stevenmtriple playback speed is a sampling rate issue. they're all related probably
04:10:15stevenmI don't know what the sampling rate on that device is. It should probably go into a #define someplace.. I try to force the rate to 44100 (or 22050 if the device only supports that)
04:10:48stevenmI know some ipods can ONLY do 44100. Maybe your model requires a faster sample rate?
04:11:26stevenmunfortunately, I wouldn't know how to fix that.. need someone device specific

04:43:24stevenmthe guitar loop thing happens because the position goes out of loop bounds, I think. the delta is reversed but the position is not readjusted, so the code that follows it just turns the voice off. the position also needs to be brought back into loop bounds. the question is, where exactly

05:04:33stevenmWell, my line 314.. I added debug stuff so the lines are different.
05:04:44stevenmall it was was a > sign that needed to be >=

05:12:52LambdaCalculus37*wf->=mode
05:13:16LambdaCalculus37Sorry... getting a wee bit sleepy.
05:13:42stevenmLambdaCalculus37, no.. the -> is a pointer indirection thing
05:14:02stevenmLambdaCalculus37, it should be: if((wf->mode & 28) && (cpShifted >= wf->endLoop))
05:14:16stevenmie, cpShifted >= wf->endLoop instead of just >
05:14:38stevenmAnother thing I would like to fix is the volume of the instruments. they aren't quite all the same.
05:14:57stevenmI once had code to fix it at runtime. It worked but was slow. I need to just sit down and manually adjust the levels of the patchset

06:46:42cam1223well quiet poeple dont count in a chat room
06:47:24sitwonwhy not? do you discriminate against people with lives outside of the internet?
06:47:29hcsthis is a support and technical discussion channel, we only talk when there's something to discuss
06:48:35*jhMikeS wasn't aware there was any sound in a chatroom at all so "inactive" might be a better term :)
06:48:36cam1223well if they have lives theri not really there
06:49:00cam1223lol so technical
06:49:07sitwonjhMikeS: rockbox does cater to the blind community. it's possible he has text-to-speech...
06:49:09Soapand it is either late Friday night or early early Saturday morning for the vast majority of people here.
06:49:16jhMikeScam1223: don't you mean pedantic :P
06:49:31cam1223pendantic?

06:50:03sitwonah, touche

07:00:10Jeremiellorean can you help me with my c200 database issue?
07:00:20cam1223i was talking about how it takes all the files in a directory or in the database and puts it in the playlist and then fills the buffer
07:00:38cam1223i guess why does it always fill the buffer is a better way to put it
07:00:39jhMikeScam1223: shhh...I'm trying to work! :)
07:01:04Lloreancam1223: Again, why wouldn't it? It's more efficient than spinning the disk once per song. Or do you mean "Why does Rockbox use an entire folder as a dynamic playlist"?
07:01:30*jhMikeS sees Doctor Who is on...
07:01:48sitwonjhMikeS: what season?
07:02:09cam1223what if your jus choosing random songs from diffrent places, isnt it a waste to load 5 songs if your only going to play 1?
07:02:35Lloreancam1223: Yes, but we expect you to read the manual and know about the "Insert" function.
07:03:53jhMikeSsitwon: 3
07:04:27cam1223hmm true
07:05:33cam1223shouldent it then "insert" istead of making an entire new playlist?
07:05:50Jeremie..........dang i need help with c200
07:06:02Lloreancam1223: We prefer it our way, since most people don't want to listen to just one song.

07:09:13sitwonJeremie: what exactly isn't working?
07:09:22Lloreancam1223: Then use "Insert"
07:09:47JeremieThe database stops at a certain number when it is intializing
07:09:54Lloreancam1223: It's very simple, if you don't use real playlists, Rockbox will create dynamic playlists, and if you just "Select" a song, it assumes the whole folder since this is what is considered the most common play style
07:10:10sitwoncam1223: you're free to check out the sources and change the default behaviour for your own player

07:29:19Soapthe bass / treble controls are much simpler than the full EQ, and use less CPU expensive filters.

07:30:53GigermUnitcya*

10:31:12pixelmabluebrother: could rbutil also install the midi patchset? Or did I miss something and it already does...?
10:31:37bluebrotherit could. But I don't think the patchset is available as zip on the download server.

10:32:44syn4pseyou are probably right.
10:32:46syn4pse:/
10:32:59pixelmabluebrother: looks like it's hosted by the midiplay author privately
10:33:38pixelmaor "one sample patchset"
10:33:49bluebrotherwell, if we are able distributing it on the official download server we should do so IMO
10:34:54bluebrotherbut I have no idea about the legal status of that ... if we're distributing the patchset on the download server adding it to rbutil would be fairly easy
10:35:23syn4psei copied the headers in plugin.h and plugin.o to the places that looked right. i'm not sure where I should put a header file
10:36:13syn4pseby header file, do you mean plugin.h?
10:36:49peturlet me have a look, just a sec
10:37:06syn4psethank you for your patience.
10:38:39peturI think you need to add #include "lcd.h" to the list of includes at the top of plugin.c
10:38:59syn4pseok i'll give it a try.
10:39:16peturI just wonder why it's not already there as there are other lcd functions there
10:39:57peturoh, it is already in plugin.h
10:40:25syn4pseyeah, lcd_putc is in that second #ifdef xxyy
10:41:32syn4pseperhaps there is a reason that it's not included for the ipod video/archos?
10:41:48bluebrotherah, there is something about the t

10:43:34petursyn4pse: lcd_putc() is already in the plugin api
10:43:54syn4psei'm thinking that my code is suspect.
10:44:09peturflipit.c line 239 uses it
10:44:14syn4psebut I can call puts_style and lcd_update
10:44:21syn4pseit's in credits.c too
10:44:31peturyup
10:44:40peturso no need to edit plugin.c/h
10:45:18peturhmm got to go do some non-computer stuff... success
10:45:51syn4pseany ideas why i can't access that particular function? i see that there is an ifdef HAVE_LCD_CHARCELLS?
10:46:20peturah, maybe it is charcell only ?
10:46:36syn4psethat would be poopy.
10:47:01bluebrotheryep, it is.
10:47:04syn4psebasically, i don't want the puts() to wipe out the rest of the line.
10:47:11bluebrotherbut why don't you just use lcd_puts?
10:47:30pixelmaputc sounds like "put character" or something...
10:47:43syn4psei just want to put a character at a time.
10:47:59syn4psei'm porting code, and it's written in ncurses.
10:48:04bluebrotherI don't think lcd_puts deletes the complete line first.

11:42:19barrywardellHey JdGordon. Do you get the problem with loading the OF using the current sansapatcher?
11:43:00JdGordonI havnt tried sansapatcher in ages... ill have a look in a bit
11:43:34barrywardellApparently, it's the SDHC code I added that causes the problem
11:43:50barrywardellbut it doesn't affect my own Sansa for some reason
11:45:52JdGordonok, i dont tihnk ive tried sp since the sdhc stuff went in, so yeah...
11:47:21barrywardellthere are a few forum thread on the problem. apparently it has been narrowed down to that specific commit
11:47:35JdGordonok, compiling and trying now
11:47:48JdGordoni assume the BL to use is the svn one also?
11:48:55JdGordonhmm.... is there a way to compile sp without the c200 bl?
11:49:10barrywardellyeah, although jhMikeS has been playing with the bootloader a lot in the last day or two
11:49:19barrywardellso maybe try svn from before his commits
11:49:34barrywardellno way that I know of
11:50:26JdGordonlots of warning compiling sansapatcher...
11:50:47Lloreanbarrywardell: It doesn't affect all Sansas, because I'm pretty sure my e200 is using the "latest" bootloader without problem as well
11:51:34barrywardellyeah, it seems all the devs' sansas work fine, but some users are having problems - makes it hard for us to fix
11:52:31JdGordonwith and without the card it can boot into of
11:53:06JdGordonit seems to load the OF very slowly though... but it does load
11:53:15LloreanJdGordon: The OF has to be decrypted
11:53:16LloreanTakes a while
11:53:24JdGordonthat would explain it then
11:53:38JdGordonthis reminds me.. I should be working ont he e200r installer app :(
11:53:58advcomp2019i do not know if this makes any difference but i have the latest stuff on my e280r and have no issues
11:54:17barrywardellJdGordon: could you also try sansapatcher 0.3? That's where the problems are being reported
11:54:28JdGordonthats not svn?
11:55:37JdGordonhow do I get that version?

13:39:50LloreanWith the equalizer and the HW eq, they seem to be happy enough
13:39:54parafinbtw, what settings work in hardware eq? only low and high freq gains?
13:41:15preglowyeah
13:41:33preglowobo: any clues on how to make nicer piezo clicks, btw?
13:41:36 Join gtkspert [0] (n=gtkspert@gateless.info)
13:42:09parafinso maybe delete the whole confusing hardware eq menu and use these bass and treble settings instead for it?
13:42:26obonot yet - increasing the time just results in a very nasty screeching sound... I'll play around with the other settings and see what I can find
13:43:02preglowobo: but each piezo sound still lasts at least one tick, right?
13:43:35preglowparafin: like i said, that's what i'm trying to have done
13:43:45preglowi don't have a video myself, so can't do it myself
13:43:48obono - it's yielding now, instead of sleeping for a full tick
13:45:03preglowahh, which explains the inconsistent sound
13:45:16preglowthis really is problematic, we want to sleep for a small consistent time
13:45:36oboyes - I ramped it up to realtime priority, which helps a fair amount, but it still overruns occasionally

13:46:00preglowhave you tried just blocking in the queue handler until the sound is done. with small enough durations, it MIGHT work

13:47:52preglowobo: problem is, though, that without the user timer, you need some source for a consistent delay, and there is none...
13:48:05preglowobo: apart from a simple for() loop or something, but that will depend on boost frequency
13:48:15preglowthere's always USEC_TIMER, though, but that's ipod only
13:48:33oboI'm using USEC_TIMER with the yield
13:49:33oboI even once tried to redefine HZ to 1000 - that was "interesting" :)

14:27:49pixelmaKlevi: the e200 has a lit wheel which you can control, enabling the same controls on the c200 made the main button lights controllable. I don't think the e200 have an extra "menu" led

15:44:00Jeremieanyone have infomation on fixing database issues on c200 series?
15:44:03preglowit's worth a shot if you can do your own builds
15:44:05preglowit's easy to disable
15:44:14Buschelmoos: are you able to change and build for your own?
15:44:43moossure if you point me what to change ;)

15:45:29Jeremieno on the rockbox firmware
15:45:53Jeremiemy problem is the database wont form and stops at numbers between 500 and 600
15:46:40FebsYou likely have a file that is corrupt in some fashion and is preventing the database from building. You need to isolate what file that is.

15:47:44Jeremiei took all the music off and added one album
15:47:59Jeremieand album that should have a correct id3 tag
15:48:21Jeremieis there any application on the interne that would fix them if they are corrupt and maybe fix this issue
15:48:23FebsIf you had only one album, why was the database counting up over 500?
15:48:58Jeremiethat time it went to 300......
15:49:04Febs(Actually, maybe that counter counts non-music files.)
15:49:50Jeremiehmmm
15:50:17Jeremiedo you know anything on the c200 that might be causing this issue, is there something i need to delete?

15:53:08Buschelmoos: can you send an email with such a file and a description on what flaws you can hear at which seconds?
15:53:11FebsTry emptying the recycling bin while your player is connected, just to make sure that there aren't deleted files in it that are causing an issue.
15:54:01Jeremieso connect my player and hit empty recyclebin on my desktop?
15:54:17FebsRight.
15:54:23moosBuschel: all my musepack files are distorded on gigabeat since your last changes. But on coldfire no problems at all
15:54:28Jeremieok
15:55:31Jeremieconnect it in mssc mode or mtp?

15:55:50Dark_ApostropheIs Rockbox based on any third-party software, such as maybe Linux or BSD, or is it entirely written from scratch?

15:55:56preglowscratch
15:56:05Dark_Apostropheok, cool - awesome job
15:56:08Jeremieit's currently in msc and nothing is in my recycle bin
15:56:15Buschelmoos: hmm, i cannot experience this on my iPod (which also uses ARM). it would be very helpful if you could either send on of your files as I described above or if you could decode one such file to the HDD of your gigabeat
15:56:21moospreglow: no differences spoted in your end?
15:56:36preglowmoos: checking it out now
15:56:44Nico_Pmoos: maybe try to use test_codc to output the file as WAV
15:56:50preglowi'm doing that now
15:56:56preglowbut i've got 100% disk usage...
15:57:21moosBuschel: do you have one coldfire target by any luck for hear the difference?

15:57:42Nico_Pyes
15:57:45Jeremieanymore ideas fbs?

15:58:30kkurbjunmarkun, are you around?
15:58:37Jeremiebtw thats my thread >_<
15:58:43moosBuschel: yeah on coldfire all is fine
15:58:55preglowmoos: as far as i can see, after mixing together h120 and nano output, there are no differences worth mentioning
15:59:07markunkkurbjun: I am now
15:59:14Nico_Pmoos: I don't think I hear anything
15:59:25moosvery strange
15:59:41moosNico_P: can I send you one file
15:59:43Buschelmoos: what do the flaws sound like?
15:59:45preglowmoos: i had to use the nano sim and hack the mpc source, though, i will try to fix test_codec now and try again
15:59:47kkurbjunmarkun: I was wondering if you have some time to help me out with the ata registers?
15:59:49Nico_Pmoos: have you tried outputting your file as WAV ?
16:00
16:00:01Nico_Pmoos: sure
16:00:20kkurbjunI think I have at least some of them defined properly, but I am failing in the check_registers portion of ata.c
16:00:29moosBuschel: I don't have the apropriate vacabulary, I'd say distorted
16:00:42moosNico_P: didn't
16:01:00 Quit merbanan (Remote closed the connection)
16:01:13Nico_Pmoos: I'd advise you to use test_codec to output your file and see if the resulting file has the same distortion
16:01:20Nico_Pif so you can send it to Buschel
16:01:30preglowyes, do that
16:02:12Buschelmoos: just try. e.g. are the flaws audible on each file, and always? or are there any files which are worse than other? or are there some special parts of some tracks which sound bad?
16:02:14moosI canot do this rght now, no time left, but I'll try later this night and keep you informed
16:02:41Buschelmoos: ok. just try to send the original .mpc as well as the decoded one
16:02:58markunkkurbjun: I thought the registers were pretty much almost defined in the same way
16:03:27markunkkurbjun: is there anything about it in the i.mx31 documentation?
16:03:44kkurbjunI'm on the DM320 for the m:robe
16:04:17moosBuschel, Nico_P: just sent you the same 2 mpc files that I sent to preglow
16:04:27Nico_Pok
16:04:30mooshello markun btw
16:05:01kkurbjunyeah, maybe I just need to get more familiar with the ata code, different targets do slightly different things, I am using the registers based on linux which is done extremely different from the rest of th etargets
16:05:16moosthose 2 files doesn't sound right on my gigabeat but sounds normal on iaudio
16:05:46Jeremiei found out why the database isnt working for me on c200
16:06:32Jeremieto get it to read the music ill need to add music in msc mode
16:07:22markunmoos: hi moos!
16:07:35kkurbjunmarkun, do you know what the code for check_registers is doing in ata.c
16:07:59markunno, not anymore
16:08:04kkurbjunI mean, it's aparant that it's writing certain values to certain registers adn chekcing those, but I don't know what the effect of those values are
16:08:07kkurbjunhmm
16:08:17markunand I will not have any time to look at it today
16:08:52Jeremiedevelopers in rockbox's need to find a way to access the files thru the mtp mode, it seems only right now they access the msc mode of the c200 series
16:09:41markunkkurbjun: perhaps ask LinusN, he was the one who helped me with the Gigabeat ata stuff
16:09:47LloreanJeremie: Do you even know what the differences are?
16:10:03kkurbjunthanks, I'll do that when I see him
16:10:12LloreanJeremie: Files in MTP mode should be equally accessible as long as Windows isn't DRM wrapping them during transfer, and if it is, they'll never be accessible.
16:10:14kkurbjunthe timezones make it difficult yo catch him
16:10:36moosBuschel, preglow: time for me to go :( , I'll keep you informed

16:11:45preglowjhMikeS: can you think of anything in your commit that would stop wav writing in test_codec from working? :/
16:11:48LloreanJeremie: Then figure out why. Try using filetree mode instead of database to play them, for example, and see if they work and their metadata shows up in the metadata view.
16:12:00moosBuschel: no problem, those 2 exemple files sounded well on coldfire, but not on my gigabeat, see you later...
16:12:26Jeremiei tried thru the filetree, i couldnt located a single mp3 file
16:12:31FebsJeremie: set your "show file" settings to "all."
16:12:48Jeremiedid that
16:13:32Jeremiei found random folders and files that have no playback or anythign in them
16:13:33preglowjhMikeS: as a matter of fact, all of it
16:13:39LloreanJeremie: Well, considering you're the only person experiencing this problem, it's pretty much up to you to figure out what's actually going on, and find your files.
16:13:59FebsJeremie: where are the files located on your player?
16:15:36Jeremiethey are in a folder called music that only appears with my music in them while connected in mtp mode
16:15:49Jeremiethere is a music folder in mtp mode but it contains nothing
16:16:51Jeremiei wish i could find other c200 users who run rockbox and have fixed there problem......
16:17:13FebsWhat happens when you look at the contents of that folder while connected in Windows in MSC mode? Do you see the files there?
16:17:50Jeremiein msc mode i see folders but no .mp3 files or any other audio format
16:19:36FebsSo there is no music there, and that, obviously, is why Rockbox isn't seeing it.
16:20:10Jeremieyes, no music seems to come up in either of the views but when connected thru mtp i can find the .mp3 files easily
16:20:25FebsTry connecting your player in MSC mode and using Window's search function to search for ".mp3" to find out where MTP mode is putting the files.
16:20:42LloreanFebs: Assuming they aren't being transcoded or encrypted like the Gigabeat's .sat files.
16:21:06LloreanMTP mode allows for precisely that sort of procedure.
16:21:07FebsTrue.
16:21:18LloreanOr rather, the MTP protocol does, as far as I know.
16:21:24Jeremieill try to find them in msc thru mtp dropping

16:21:49LloreanJeremie: The simplest solution to your problems is just to use MSC mode only.
16:22:09Jeremiethats what i was going to try
16:22:29LloreanJeremie: Firstly, we can't prevent MTP mode from doing crazy things to your files, and it's entirely possible that it is (and if it does, we can't find or use the file necessarily), and secondly when Rockbox has its own USB mode, it'll be like MSC mode
16:22:30Jeremieill try febs last approach before that.
16:23:23Jeremiehopefully oen of the developers fix this issue
16:23:26Jeremieone*
16:23:29preglowjhMikeS: it just locks up waiting for the thread to go to action now, it seems
16:23:31jhMikeSpreglow: other plugins create threads just fine. the only thing altered is that the thread function can return but that is also quite verified to work.
16:23:45LloreanJeremie: I just told you it may be impossible to fix...
16:23:46jhMikeSpreglow: which cpu?
16:23:52preglowjhMikeS: nano, whatever that has
16:23:56LloreanJeremie: And NOBODY can fix it if you can't actually identify what the issue is.
16:24:12jhMikeSwell, arm...hmmm
16:24:13preglowjhMikeS: also, i'm not 100% certain that's what's happening, but seems like it, everything up to the point where the other thread is supposed to working works nice
16:24:31Jeremiethe issue is that mp3 files cannot be found on c200 series in the current way it works on c200
16:24:39LloreanJeremie: No, that's not the issue.
16:24:40jhMikeSdid you revert back to before the commit and check?
16:24:45preglowthough the other thread DOES get created, i stuffed printf in it, and it did display
16:24:59preglowjhMikeS: guess i'll just check out another tree
16:25:01LloreanJeremie: MP3 files transferred in MSC mode can be found just fine, that's why there are many people able to use their c200s with Rockbox. So it's not that simple.
16:25:06preglowjhMikeS: got a command line for me? :V
16:25:31jhMikeSdont' you just do svn co -r123456 or something?
16:25:45Jeremiethats what ill try after i see if i can find the files thru searching in mtp mode
16:25:50LloreanJeremie: The problem is that for some reason your files transferred in MTP mode can't be found, and you need to figure out where these files are, and whether they're still normal MP3 files (on the player, not when you copy them off, so you'll need to either find them in Rockbox, or MSC mode, after putting them on with MTP)
16:26:03preglowgah, shit, hd space
16:26:41jhMikeSlemme check the diff and make sure I didn't do a stupid
16:27:00Jeremieyes, im currently putting in a mp3 file in mtp to search for it in msc
16:27:34jhMikeSno, I just removed the remove_thread(NULL) which should be good
16:27:41preglowargh, someone code a make install that works for target :/
16:28:02preglowjhMikeS: in any case it should execute fine until it exits, it doesn't even start

16:51:23 Nick Gibbed is now known as Rick (n=rick@pool-96-229-77-230.lsanca.dsl-w.verizon.net)
16:51:40preglowFebs: aye, and the change is really already done by pondlife, i'm just thinking on extending it
16:52:01markunDark_Apostrophe: I don't think any of these patches will be included, but I hope we'll get seeking support
16:52:10preglowFebs: other targets also allow changing the cutoff freq for treble/bass controls, and we might as well support that now that ipod video will
16:52:24FebsI think that makes a lot of sense. It's confusing to have a 5 band HW EQ with only 2 functional bands, and treble and bass settings that do nothing.
16:52:31Dark_Apostrophemarkun: So do I, it would really be nice to have. :)
16:52:38preglowFebs: it's outright useless, heh
16:53:21FebsGood for establishing that the placebo effect does exist though.
16:53:28DefineByteso normal users won't know if they're using the hardware EQ or not?
16:53:49preglowjhMikeS: man, it looks like i've screwed up, it doesn't work on h120 either now
16:54:06preglowjhMikeS: my build probably wasn't as fresh as i though
16:55:08jhMikeSbattery bench works
16:55:23FebsDefineByte: I think that the change would bring the iPod more into line with other platforms like the H100/H300 where the bass and treble settings are hardware based rather than having a separate setting called "hardware EQ." It's the same functionality, just presented in a more consistent manner.
16:55:54preglowjhMikeS: no, it does work now.....
16:56:40DefineBytethe only problem i have with that is the currently (?) huge difference in battery life between hardware and software eqs. Users might like to know they changes they can make without a large impact on battery life

16:58:04preglowgod, forget that entire last sentence. i suck badly
16:58:17FebsDefineByte: there is no change in functionality. Think of it as relabeling the hardware EQ so that instead of being called "hardware EQ," it is now called "bass" and "treble." (The low and high shelf filters were the only two bands of the hardware EQ that worked anyway.)
16:59:46DefineByteokay, I see. That sounds good then. So people will just get to know that the bass and treble settings are the ones to use if battery lifee is a problem for you.

17:15:14jhMikeSthat's weird. the sleep never wakes up.
17:15:20BuscheljhMikeS: would you again be so kind a shortly explain the function of the hysteresis to me? ;o)
17:15:32Buschel*and
17:17:06jhMikeSwell, the e200 uses two kinds. but for the direction, if the wheel changes direction in slow mode, you always have to move two clicks for another message to be generated. if you go one click right and one click left, no movement. one click right, then two clicks left you scroll up.
17:17:16Buschelpreglow: the distortion I can see is much higher than with my test samples. but this seems to be connected to the high-altitude of Moos' samples. the distortion is still <-78 dB (max) and <-85 dB (avg). so, far beyond masking threshold

17:25:05Buschelpreglow: does moos maybe use some kind of EQ which pushes the signal into distortion? were there any changes on gigabeat? afaik he uses official builds. where there any additional changes and do we really know it is definately the musepack patch which causes his flaws?
17:25:36Buschelpreglow: and finally -> could anyone decode Moos's files to HDD on a gigabeat?

17:26:14DefineByteThere's some weird wording in 'Browsing and Playing' too. I may just go through the whole thing and make a patch

17:26:40preglowperhaps even there?
17:27:00bluebrotheryep ... I think it's best to use that term for all players

18:23:11Nico_PjhMikeS: in rockbox's threading code, can I assume code that doesn't yield will be executed without being interrupted, or do I really need to use mutexes on sensitive parts ?
18:23:17TMMyay! my player arrived! :) but I have to pick it up at the postoffice... and it's closed now

18:23:35preglowBuschel: forget me, i think i have some patched applied
18:23:55jhMikeSNico_P: if you don't have absolute control over the code underneath, you really must treat it the same as preemptive.
18:24:18Nico_PjhMikeS: what's the code underneath ? things like file operations and such ?
18:24:32jhMikeSbesides, if it will run on two cores at once at some point, it should be designed with that in mind
18:25:08Nico_PjhMikeS: also the thing is I know very little about preemptive and even concurrent programming... I discovered about semaphores on wednesday
18:25:09jhMikeSNico_P: yup, pretty much any function call. as soon as a new yield would pop up somewhere, that basically a preemption
18:25:33Nico_Phmm OK so maybe I'll need to add a few mutexes to my buffering API
18:25:58Nico_PjhMikeS: good thing is that I have a concurrent programming course this year

18:31:09preglowjhMikeS: why does jpeg viewer dithering make my nano screen flicker like a mad man in affacted areas?
18:32:30Buschelpreglow: that's what i assumed. the former code did loose some wheel positions and was therefor less sensitive. this magic number should really be defined for each ipod type because the scrollwheel size has interference with the thickness of the finger :o) in german i have nice proposition for the naming: "WURSTFINGER_FACTOR" :o)
18:32:33jhMikeSpreglow: I've no idea. It just changes the image data.

18:42:46preglowwe probably have something like this in the wiki
18:43:17Buschelpreglow: there are some differences in how the information from the wheel in hand over. afaik e200-ISR does always get the wheel direction direclty and there is 1 ISR-call per click (jhMikeS, please correct me). The iPod driver will have a new wheel-position (0..95) with each ISR-call. The driver has to check the direction himself. So, you may need multiple ISR-calls before generaing a button-event.
18:43:27Buschel*is handed over

18:50:57Buschelthe driver does pos - last_pos. but these are quite jiggy as your (and my) finger is that large that you need to reject all new positions until there is a clear direction. this is done via accepting scroll movements which exceed N (=4) positions.

21:28:44bam2550Hey
21:29:14bam2550are all the ipodpatchers.exe the same? Like does the ipodpatcher in the Ipod nano 1st generation work for the ipod video 30gb? or are they all different?
21:29:41bluebrotheripodpatcher detects and installs the bootloader on all Ipods.
21:29:51bluebrotherthe downloads provided include all required bootloaders.
21:30:06bam2550so it doesn't matter what ipodpatcher i download?
21:30:09bam2550they are all the same?
21:30:20bluebrotherthere is only one ipodpatcher. What are you referring to?
21:31:01bam2550Well, i want to install rockbox on more then one different type of ipod. So i was wondering if i could use the ipodpatcher i found in the Nano Manual for the iPod 30gb Video ipod?
21:31:19bam2550or ipod photo ect
21:31:28bluebrotheras you might have noticed the link in the nano manual is the same as the link in the video manual ...
21:31:33bluebrotherso it's the same file.
21:32:04bluebrotherand as you also might have noticed, neither download path nor filename allow to distinguish between Ipod models.
21:32:35bluebrotherSo it should be a safe guess to assume it's the same binary −− we would need to distinguish between different versions too
21:32:48bam2550Well thank you.
21:33:29bluebrotheripodpatcher is smart enough to refuse work if it doesn't detect a supported Ipod so there is nothing to worry about ;-)

21:44:23Nico_Pyeah, so everything most probably went in "rockbox"
21:45:57Mouser_XWell, when it says "extracted" I wasn't sure if some process happened after I checked out the source. In other words, to have made it more clear for me, it could have said "go to the directory where the files were downloaded."

When I installed cygwin, I double checked the settings to make sure I had the right stuff selected (I even used the graphical guide in the wiki)...
21:53:20DefineByteAs far as Rockbox is concerned, which is the preferred term, folder or directory?
21:53:22Mouser_XSo, does this mean I missed something?
21:54:01Mouser_XIf yes, do I need to go back and run the cygwin setup again?
21:54:03DefineByteI'm thinking in terms of the manual.
21:54:19bluebrotherMouser_X: well, you either missed installing the compiler or it's not in the path (as the error messge tells)
21:54:35Mouser_XHow do I fix it, so that it's in the path?
21:54:45bluebrotherdo you have the compiler installed?
21:54:47Mouser_X(Or, is that necessary?)
21:54:53Mouser_XHow do I check?
21:54:59Mouser_X(I thought I did...)
21:55:12bluebrotheryou could run the cygwin setup and check −− I guess that's the easiest way
21:55:22bluebrotheror find / -name arm-elf-gcc
21:57:30Mouser_XNote: I'm attempting to build Rockbox using my laptop (which is running Win98 as the OS).
21:57:43bluebrotherDefineByte: from grepping the manual sources, directory is use about twice as often as folder
21:57:47Mouser_X(My laptop was free, and seems to be pretty old.)
21:57:58DefineByteokay, i'll go with that then
21:58:03DefineBytethanks

22:00:03Mouser_XI'm using the "find" option. So far, it's found "arm-elf-gcc" in my "install_stuff" folder (which is where everything downloaded to when I installed cygwin).
22:00:20Mouser_XI'm going to assume that it did indeed download arm-elf-gcc then.
22:00:43bluebrotherIIRC I started writing a small glossary once. But I can't remember how far I got (or if I even actually wrote it ;-)

22:03:41Mouser_XSorry I'm using a crappy OS. It's due to using a crappy laptop.
22:03:51preglowwould any of you guys cry if balance and stereo width got a new step size of 5%?
22:04:20krazykitMouser_X, you could probably install a very light linux distro on there :P
22:04:21Mouser_XSince I rarely alter it (I don't think I ever have), I doubt it.
22:04:28krazykitand not bother with cygwin at all.
22:04:42bluebrotherpreglow: I wouldn't ... but I find it quite strange to have like arbitrary values for balance
22:04:50 Part agm3nt
22:04:58bluebrotheras it doesn't easily tell whats left and whats right.

22:05:37SoapFWIW, Mouser_X, seeing as you aren't in #rockbox-community I'll mention it here, but will keep my off-topic brief. Windows 2000, in my experience, runs as well as Windows 98 on any machine with more than 32 megs of memory. My experience is with 133 Mhz machines, your mileage may vary - but the advantages of Win2K justify the $15 cost to pick up a used copy IMHO.

22:10:36DefineBytei've noticed the manual recommends wordpad to edit configuration files in Windows. I'm guessing Notepad would be a better option?
22:10:49SoapWPSs are display screens, they are not code for functionality, kratonator. If I am reading your query correctly you want a new function?
22:11:09bluebrotherDefineByte: no. Notepad has issues with unix line endings, so most cfg files would show up as a single line
22:11:14kratonatorno
22:11:15preglowperhaps i should also decrease the possible range from 255% to 200%
22:11:16krazykitDefineByte, notepad++ would probably be better. i'd assume notepad would munge line endings

22:12:27Soappreglow: Is it possible to make the balance step-size = 1dB, or is there no relationship between balance % and dB?
22:12:47preglowSoap: it's possible, but doesn't really make sense
22:13:46Mouser_XHow long should "find" take in cygwin?
22:14:00Mouser_X(I think it may not be working as expected.)
22:14:17Soappreglow: the reason I mentioned it is that supposedly 1dB is about the smallest discernable volume change, and any step smaller than that size would seem silly. If a step larger than 1dB is still in the realm of silly is another question/
22:14:23bluebrotherdepends on size and speed of your hard disc (and number of files)
22:14:39bluebrotherbut using the installer might be a bit faster, especially if the box is slow.
22:15:07preglowSoap: i think it's more a question of what users are used to, a decibel scale for balance control is not something you see often
22:15:16SoapMouser_X: on an old laptop with a (most likely) 4200 rpm slow-as-molassas-in-January-HDD, I can believe a very long time. Cgywin seems to have slow file access as is.
22:15:19Mouser_XCygwin died (I CTRL+C to stop the "find" command).
22:15:38Mouser_XI'll try the setup instead.
22:15:52Mouser_XI do know that arm-elf-gcc was downloaded though.
22:16:02Mouser_XIf it was downloaded, it should be installed, right?

22:30:17amiconnAnd I don't care about low bitrate files....
22:30:17Mouser_XThanks.
22:30:24amiconnImo 250% would be a good limit
22:30:38chrisjs169crazyshit, it's possible, if we knew how
22:30:51crazyshitarent you allowed to reverse engineer
22:30:55crazyshitthe of ?
22:30:55preglowamiconn: better than 255% at least :)
22:30:58Mouser_X*Anything* is possible, if you know *how*
22:31:00crazyshit'to learn'
22:31:00Mouser_X:P
22:31:04bluebrotheryou can add that to .bashrc to make it permanent (might be a different file depending on the setup; as I said I'm not really used to cygwin)
22:31:14chrisjs169reverse engineer the sansa - yes. however, we don't use any parts of the OF

22:31:50bam2550i must thank you guys so much!
22:31:56preglowamiconn: i shouldn't need to change any code, no? it's not tailored to 255 as a max value right now?
22:31:58bam2550RockBox made my ipod work again
22:31:58amiconn5% for balance is a bit coarse imo... although, I always have balance set to +/- 0
22:32:37bam2550Do you think there is a reason why i couldnt scroll on my ipod with the normal firmware, but after putting rockbox on i could?
22:32:41preglowtry it, the steps sound pretty good, not too big difference in sound between each
22:33:34crazyshitone other thing, is there on progress u10 rockbox ?
22:33:36preglowamiconn: i've got a patch for it, let me know if you want to test some time
22:33:43agm3ntbluebrother: sansapatcher in rbutilgt from you and on http://download.rockbox.org/bootloader/sandisk-sansa/sansapatcher/win32/ is the same version?
22:33:55preglownot that it's hard to do quickly for yourself...

22:34:19amiconnpreglow: No, the formula is generic
22:34:38bluebrotheragm3nt: I'm not 100% sure but I think it is.
22:34:40preglowthen 250 sound like a nice new limit to me
22:34:50*amiconn can't try anything before tomorrow (late) evening

22:35:35Nico_Pwrong fix ?
22:37:11Mouser_Xbluebrother: After doing the "export PATH=%PATH:/opt/arm/bin" I'm now getting more errors, in addition to arm-elf-gcc missing.
22:37:41bluebrotherMouser_X: argh, I made a typo :(
22:37:47Mouser_XAs well as the fact that when I run "../tools/configure" I get errors, and none of the available selections show up.
22:37:53bluebrotherit's "export PATH=$PATH:/opt/arm/bin
22:38:00bluebrother"
22:38:17bluebrotherwell, you messed up your path variable completely (due to my typo)
22:38:18Mouser_XSo, how do I fix it? Just restart cygwin?
22:38:27bluebrotherwould be the easiest.

22:40:39crazyshitis that means it dropped?
22:40:51chrisjs169it means nobody's worked on the port
22:41:12Mouser_Xbluebrother: So, due to the fact that I'll forget it later, how do I make that PATH thing permanent? As in, where/how do I add it?
22:41:19amiconnNico_P: The fix looks good (didn't notice it before), but powermgmt is an incredible mess in general atm
22:41:51Nico_Pamiconn: did you look at the patch I posted ?
22:42:01amiconnMy plan was to clean up powermgmt (need to do that anyway in order to add suspend support), and then add lcd shutdown to *all* targets where it's possible
22:42:29bluebrotherMouser_X: try adding it to the end of ~/.bash_profile
22:42:33 Quit crazyshit ()
22:42:35amiconnEven the player lcd shows a nasty pixel flash on shutdown
22:42:57Nico_Pamiconn: I'd like to commit that patch for now, at least so that people don't have to wait for powermgmt to be rewritten to have the line go
22:43:21Mouser_XAnyone have any assumptions as to how long it will take cygwin to compile Rockbox on a 200 mhz laptop?
22:43:35agm3ntbluebrother: rbutilgt recognize c200, but bootlader installation not work, on sansapachher everything work for me
22:43:45Nico_PMouser_X: my assumption is: along time :)
22:43:53bluebrotheragm3nt: interesting. What OS are you using?
22:43:59SoapMouser_X: 2-3 hours.
22:44:09bluebrotherMouser_X: I'd say 30+ mins. If not hours.
22:44:09Soapmaybe longer still.
22:44:15agm3ntbluebrother: now windows
22:44:16Mouser_XOuch...
22:44:30SoapIt takes me an hour+ on a 450Mhz and cgywin and 7200rpm drives.
22:44:31bluebrothermake sure to turn of your virus scanner, in case you have one on that box
22:44:37bluebrotheragm3nt: what version of windows?
22:44:42agm3ntbluebrother: but I test sansapatcher on linux and also work
22:44:48*Mouser_X expects the laptop to crash before then.

22:48:42Nico_Pbluebrother: do you have the line on shutdown ?
22:49:05bluebrotheragm3nt: I need to check that on windows natively. It seems this is related to windows as bootloader installation works fine on linux.
22:49:24bluebrotherNico_P: yes, and I used the patch in that task already (not your updated version though)
22:49:35Nico_Pbluebrother: ah, so it works ?
22:49:55bluebrotherit worked fine for me. But I don't have the line issue all the time with official builds
22:50:05Nico_Pbluebrother: maybe you know why it wasn't committed ?
22:50:10bluebrotherI guess it's kinda related to the lcd state before it gets turned off.

23:01:48RudManwhat are you uploading?
23:02:20Gram_KI'm uploading FM presets for Calgary, Alberta, Canada. I've made two copies, one of which has the Presets with minimal info to fit on my Sansa 280 and another version of the file has more info, IE; CKXX - Station Name (Music Genre).
23:02:41Gram_KThis is my first MP3 player...so I'm guessing that other varieties maybe display more info...?
23:03:03Gram_KMy Sansa 280 only displays so much info on one line so the info I type in for the presets gets cut off
23:03:10 Quit chrisjs169 (Remote closed the connection)
23:03:20Gram_KIt scrolls, but it doesn't scroll across everything I typed in
23:03:20 Quit spiorf_ (Read error: 110 (Connection timed out))
23:03:33Gram_KSo...more info file, or more compatable file...?
23:04:00bluebrotherwell, depends on you −− I don't live in that area ;-)
23:04:15Gram_KOkay, well here's an example of what I'm talking about...
23:04:20Gram_K92900000:CFEX X92.9
23:04:21Gram_Kor
23:04:25bluebrothergenerally speaking, Rockbox supports players with a wider displays and other players with a narrower.
23:04:29RudManupload both
23:04:35Gram_K92900000:CFEX X92.9 (Modern Rock)
23:04:58bluebrotherso it's not possible to give a generic answer to that question. But as RudMan said, you could just upload both.
23:04:58Gram_KOkay, I'll send both :)
