#rockbox log for 2007-10-20

00:00:02preglowZagor: doing ansi viewer, and paletted 8 bit mode is perfect for that, but it is slower here, even full screen
00:00:14preglowdoing an ansi viewer, that is
00:00:33preglowreally noticably slower

00:00:39barrywardellDomonoky_: "unsupported install Method"
00:01:40nomeli've got a c200 and the radio is wacky...is this a known issue?
00:01:51Zagorpreglow: interesting
00:01:57Zagornomel: wacky how?
00:02:38nomelwell, when i scan through, none of the channels work.
00:02:48nomelerr...presets from the autoscan.
00:02:55Domonoky_barrywardell: strange, do you have an rbutil.ini file in the dri where rbutil.exe is ? (if so, delete it..)
00:03:00nomeland...if i manually scan through, i'll hear a station, go forward, go back, and it'll be gone.
00:03:08barrywardellDomonoky_: this is on mac os x...
00:03:09Zagornomel: how fast is your scan?
00:03:20barrywardellhaven't tried in windows
00:03:47Domonoky_barrywardell: i can repoduce it.. i will investigate..
00:03:50nomeleven stranger, if i hit next then prev repeatedly, going from, say, 90.9MHz to 91.0MHz i can hear different radio stations...like it's stepping through in one direction.
00:03:58bluebrotherDomonoky_: rbutil doesn't check for an external rbutil.ini anymore ;-)
00:04:05Domonoky_good..
00:04:13nomelbut...when i hear a station, if i go forword or back, then try to go back or forward, it's gone.
00:04:23Zagornomel: one of my c200s exhibit an odd radio issue. it could be the same thing. but it's also very slow to change frequency. is yours?
00:04:31nomelyes, very slow.
00:04:37nomeli assumed this was normal.
00:04:41nomelthe speed that is.
00:04:45barrywardellDomonoky_: thanks, let me know if you want me to test anything
00:04:48Zagorno it's not
00:05:01Zagordo you have an "official" radio-equipped c200?
00:05:28nomelyes.
00:05:33nomelit works fine weth defailt firmwark.
00:05:37nomel*firmware.
00:05:54nomelgod..i can't type today.
00:06:02Zagorok. because both mine are non-radio units. and radio works perfectly on one but not so good on the other.
00:06:25nomelinteresting.
00:06:39nomeli'm assuming default firmware version shouldn't make a difference?
00:06:54ZagorI had a theory that maybe my radio problem was the reason it was sold as a non-radio unit. but now it seems more a driver issue in rockbox.
00:07:24nomellol. that'd be funny...sell crappy radio units as non radio.
00:07:39 Nick nomel is now known as nomel_afk (i=4782332a@gateway/web/cgi-irc/labb.contactor.se/x-d9c9ac29e69b91b1)
00:07:48Domonoky_huh.. something strange is going on with rbutil..
00:08:18Domonoky_seems like the complete install messes something seriously up..
00:08:31amiconnnomel_afk: Not uncommon at all to sell slightly broken hardware presuming that the broken feature simply doesn't exist
00:08:36barrywardellZagor: they're probably sold as non-radio in the EU to avoid the extra tax...same as the e200
00:08:54grapeshitwhat be better: iriver u10 or e200 with rockbox ?
00:09:18 Join pill [0] (n=pill@sloth.shellfx.net)
00:09:22Zagorbarrywardell: yeah, most likely. but the "capability sorting" idea cropped up since I had two units with different performance
00:09:48barrywardellgrapeshit: you mean h10? it doesn't support the radio in rockbox yet
00:09:56grapeshiti mean u10
00:10:01grapeshitwithout rockbox
00:10:10grapeshit(there is none for it yet as i know)
00:10:46bluebrothergrapeshit: this is a channel about Rockbox. People in here usually don't care for the OF.
00:11:58nomel_afkthat seems hard to believe though
00:12:02grapeshiti asked about comparision
00:12:05nomel_afkconsidering it works fine with their firmware.
00:12:23grapeshitBetween non-rockbox device and rockbox device.
00:12:39bluebrotheryou asked about "without Rockbox", and even about a player that is not supported by Rockbox.
00:12:42nomel_afkand, the symptoms seem like something in software.
00:12:50grapeshitno.
00:12:52nomel_afki'll try some different releases.
00:12:55bluebrothernaturally people will tell you any player with Rockbox being better than any other OF :)
00:12:59grapeshit<grapeshit> what be better: iriver u10 or e200 with rockbox ?
00:13:19scorche|wgrapeshit: we dont knwo about other devices, really...go to the wiki page WhyRockbox and compare them yourself
00:13:20bluebrotherand do you really expect people in this channel using the u10?
00:13:23Zagornomel_afk: yeah but in my case none of the players have radio in OF
00:13:37bluebrotherbesides, that sentence wasn't too cleat.
00:13:40bluebrother*clear
00:13:43nomel_afktrue...so no way to tell.
00:14:06grapeshitim sure someone here owns clix/clix2/u10
00:14:29krazykitgrapeshit, it doesn't matter if they did, since they don't run rockbox, it's offtopic, unless they're portingi t.

00:16:16nomel_afklook like someone made a radio code change on the 16th...i'll try 15th ;)
00:16:38Domonoky_barrywardell: i found the problem.. someone wasnt carefull enough with openGroup/ closeGroup on the device settings object.. :-)
00:16:47Zagornomel_afk: I'm pretty sure I tried this before the 15th
00:18:12Domonoky_barrywardell: so if you want to test again.. try a fresh svn.. :-)
00:18:21barrywardellwill do now
00:18:58nomel_afknope :(
00:19:03Domonoky_this bug should have affected completeInstall for all targets.. :-/
00:19:13nomel_afkeach time i go between two presets...i can hear it sweeping through completely different stations.
00:19:24bluebrotherDomonoky_: seems it's time for another green tick in the issues list ;-)
00:20:12Domonoky_jeah, this was a severe bug,, just waiting fro confirmation from barrywardell
00:20:22barrywardellworks for me now
00:20:26Domonoky_nice
00:21:47bluebrotherwell, as long as bugs get fixed ... ;-)
00:22:05barrywardelltime for 1.0.3?
00:22:31preglowspeex does iir filtering in a weird way
00:22:38Domonoky_lets wait a bit with 1.0.3 to find more bugs :-)
00:23:11nomel_afkheheh...went back too far...no radio on this version.
00:24:03 Join darkapostrophe [0] (n=darkapos@149-139-64.231210.adsl.tele2.no)
00:24:03bluebrotheryep ... noone discovered in 1.0.1 so it's no big deal at all ;-)
00:26:00Zagornomel_afk: :-)
00:27:13barrywardellI think the dialog asking to update an already up-to-date bootloader is a little confusing
00:27:26barrywardellmaybe Ignore should be Skip instead or something
00:27:31*bluebrother thought that too
00:28:05nomel_afkzagor: i think it's an interface problem more than anything...cause it is able to find the correct stations when it programs the presets with the autoscan, meaning it is and can select and detect the correct frequencies.
00:28:24Zagornomel_afk: yeah, I agree
00:28:26Domonoky_but the same dialog is used in a normal bootloader install .. but feel free to change :-)
00:28:37nomel_afkand, since pushing next and prev causes frequency to move in one direction, probably two increments instead of an inc and dec or something silly like that.
00:29:01barrywardellDomonoky_: I think it's confusing there too :)
00:29:16Zagornomel_afk: well don't forget the code actually works on some units. so it's not likely such a simple mistake.
00:29:18nomel_afkor maybe incrementing or decrementing by a huge number...which could explain why it takes so damn long to go between presets.
00:29:22nomel_afkbut...not sure how code is.
00:29:24 Quit RoC_MasterMind (Client Quit)
00:29:41nomel_afktrue.
00:30:00bluebrotherwhy even three buttons? "The bootloader is already installed and up to date. Do you want to replace the current bootloader? Yes / No"
00:30:08nomel_afkcould spy on the i2c...hehehe.

00:32:07pixelmaZagor, nomel_afk: I also got some weird behaviour with the radio - sometimes it gets "confused" and the frequenyies are completely off. A restart usually fixes it. One time the radio option disappeared from Rockbox but came back after using the original firmware - got the idea because the developer who enabled the radio also reported frequencies being off and he fixed it by setting the region in the original firmware again...
00:32:38pixelmaso I think something is still not quite right
00:32:43Zagorpixelma: yeah I found setting region sometimes fixes the frequencies, but not always

00:33:54StonewallHey, I was wondering, is the e200 port of all of the models in the e200 series, or just the e200 player.
00:34:23Zagorthere isn't actually any player called just e200, is there?
00:34:27Domonoky_there is no e200 player.. its the e200 series... :-)
00:34:29bluebrotheryep. The frontpage says "e200 series"
00:34:29barrywardellbluebrother: good point
00:34:32Stonewall>.<
00:34:36StonewallI think there is.
00:34:44*bluebrother is about to change the message box
00:34:58Stonewallwell
00:35:01Stonewalltechnichally no
00:35:05StonewallBut websites can be misleading
00:35:10StonewallIt says e200 series
00:35:17StonewallDoesn't tell me the actual model
00:35:18StonewallThanks
00:35:20Stonewall;)
00:35:21bluebrotherand it means e200 series :)

00:36:19 Quit Stonewall (Client Quit)
00:37:03pixelmaZagor: for me it's - works when starting the radio and then keeps working until leaving the radio again or not so I thought it could have to do with initialising something incorrectly. But I don't know much about these details so it's a wild guess...
00:37:30 Quit darkapostrophe (Read error: 104 (Connection reset by peer))

00:44:22bluebrotherthat page has a description of the selected build. Anyone not reading it is to blame himself ;-)
00:44:44bluebrothermaybe we should move away from the term "build" and use "snapshot" instead?
00:46:18barrywardellI'm talking about the sentence "This generally has more features than the last release..."
00:46:42bluebrotherthen we could also use the term "daily snapshot" without danger
00:47:31bluebrotherah. Sure, adding a "stable" wouldn't hurt.

00:49:56maleI've noticed.

00:50:06maleI just want the name of each track announced before it's played.
00:50:13 Quit scorche|w ("CGI:IRC")
00:50:18bluebrotherthe database uses the files tags, which are not covered by the talk clips
00:50:24maleWithout having to actually fiddle with the files themselves of course.
00:50:44maleBut certainly it knows the name of the file!
00:51:02barrywardellthe proxy dialog is weird. it has "Use system values" greyed out but selected. I can then select one of the other two options, but can't get back to use system values
00:53:05n1smale: I think rasher is sort of working on it
00:53:05bluebrotherbarrywardell: does OS X have the proxy value in some environment variable like http_proxy?
00:53:41maleHmm.
00:53:46Domonoky_ah, system_proxy settings for osx are missing.. :-)
00:54:05bluebrotheryep, due to the lack of knowledge
00:54:10*bluebrother wants a mac
00:54:21barrywardellnope
00:54:24maleI might take a crack at it, but it will require gearing up to build rockbox of course.
00:54:28barrywardellno environment variable

01:32:30webguest00hi there!
01:32:41Calcipherhave you tried playing a vid with voice menus enabled
01:32:45Mouser_Xsarixe: I've experienced this. However, it's because of the Gigabeat's remote... There have been multiple times where, unknown to me, the buttons on the remote have gotten pressed, and messed something up.
01:33:09sarixebut... it's iaudio x5
01:33:10sarixeno remote
01:33:14Mouser_XCalcipher: I've never used voice, and I've never had voice files installed.
01:33:29webguest00could you please inform me on the progress of iriver H10 20gb radio support? Is there any success? Should we be expecting it sometime soon?
01:33:30sarixeand i can't pause music anymore
01:33:44Mouser_Xsarixe: Sorry, I didn't mean to imply that was your problem. It was more intended as a humorous twist on your problem...

01:34:07sarixedidn't even read carefully
01:34:26sarixei was just like "oh, talking about gigabeat and a remote... not applicable"
01:34:31Calcipherthink you can try it out though Mouser_X
01:34:50Mouser_XCalcipher: Why?
01:34:56Mouser_XAlso, what?
01:35:03sarixebut yeah, recently rockbox is getting really messy
01:35:08preglowamiconn: there?
01:35:10sarixelike, within the past week
01:35:45Calcipherall you need to do is enable the first voice option, under settings/general/voice

01:36:59 Quit toffe82 (Read error: 110 (Connection timed out))
01:37:05Mouser_XWell, I know that the playback stuff is being gone through. To what extent, I don't know.
01:37:17 Quit bluebrother ("leaving")
01:37:20sarixeah, that must be the bulk of my problems than...
01:37:21sarixethen*
01:37:25Mouser_XThey're trying to implement "Metadata on Buffer."
01:37:56Mouser_XWhat I've been told is that, with that method, they'll be able to use the memory more effectively/dynamically.
01:38:05Calcipherwhat would that allow
01:38:07Mouser_XOf course, I could have misunderstood what was being said.
01:38:14sarixebecause the latest build ( 2 minutes ago), has a bug where once the song reaches its end, the wps freezes, but is still responsive to button presses
01:38:24sarixeit's just not automatically advancing to the next song
01:38:33Mouser_XWeird.
01:38:33sarixebut playback continues with the next song
01:38:48Calcipherhm
01:38:50sarixeeven though it doesn't say it
01:39:10sarixeand now it reads: "Save Failed No Partition?"
01:39:18sarixeinstead of my song info
01:39:21sarixesoooo weird
01:39:47Calcipherhm, don't like the sound of that one bit hehe
01:39:49 Quit webguest00 ("CGI:IRC")
01:40:17sarixei may just switch back to *ugh* regular iaudio firmware for a while until this all gets worked out
01:40:22sarixethis is rather ugly stuff
01:41:23 Nick linuxstb_ is now known as linuxstb (n=linuxstb@rockbox/developer/linuxstb)
01:41:23Calcipherwasn't there a more stable previous build you could use temporaraly
01:42:06sarixeyeah, but i don't even know what the build date was...
01:42:18Mouser_XMoB (Metadata on Buffer) will allow the loading of irregular files. An example, is NSFs, SPCs, MODs (if they were supported), and SID files. These are all very small (usually less than 1 MB, easily), and thus don't always fill up the buffer (which is currently set to 32 files, or to fill the memory, whichever comes first). Also, with those formats, if the whole file isn't loaded, the codec will fail.
01:42:29sarixei'll just wait, because surely the outcome of this latest stuff will be better than what i had before
01:43:12Mouser_XMP3s, OGGs, and most other "streamed" formats can begin playing, even if the whole file isn't loaded.
01:43:18sarixewhy not just do this:
01:43:35sarixehave the buffer support two types of data
01:43:44sarixeraw wav and metadata
01:44:02Mouser_XThat's basically what MoB will do...
01:44:03sarixeand have each codec decode its files into raw wav
01:44:26sarixeand insert metadata between the decodings
01:45:02sarixeso that way, there won't be any discrepancy between what file formats support any seeking features or what have you
01:45:09Mouser_XThe various other small formats can be included in the buffer as metadata (after all, the buffer doesn't care what the data is. It just has to load it.)
01:45:50sarixeyeah, but what i'm saying is, why not just decode that file into raw wav, stick it on the wav buffer, and play the wav?
01:46:19sarixelike, how does the buffer currently work?
01:46:20Mouser_Xsarixe: Your method also puts a limitation on some things. For example, with the small codecs, I can easily go for 1+ hours w/o having the disc spinup. Using your method, the buffer would fill much faster, and therefore would have more disc reads.
01:46:39sarixeok...
01:47:04sarixebut how does it do it now?
01:47:10Mouser_XListening to NSFs, I've seen a *very* noticable increase in my Gigabeat's battery life.
01:47:15Mouser_XI don't know how it's done now.
01:47:28Mouser_XI just know that it's not conducive to the smaller formats.
01:47:44sarixemm
01:48:24sarixemaybe the battery life increase is due to a less processor-intensive decoding process?
01:48:27Mouser_XListening to MP3s: By the end of my work day (7am to 4:30-5pm), my battery is around 30%. Listening to NSFs: 50%.
01:48:27 Quit obo ("bye")
01:48:37Mouser_Xsarixe: Most definitly not...
01:48:47sarixemeh
01:48:48Mouser_XNSF takes a lot of CPU, SPC even more so.
01:49:06sarixei'm not even familiar with those formats
01:49:13Mouser_XI'm not suprised.
01:49:23Mouser_XNSF = NES audio, SPC = SNES audio.
01:49:32Mouser_XSID = Commadore 64.
01:49:45sarixeright
01:49:58sarixewell i gtg, i'll be back later
01:50:02Mouser_X(SID support is fairly poor, in my opinion.)

01:55:41Mouser_XMe? Or Calcipher? I'm using a Gigabeat.
01:55:56Mouser_XCalcipher is using the e280r, as I recall.
01:56:58jenkyhmm i am wondering what player would be good to get.. that will run rockbox well
01:57:12Mouser_XI would recommend the Gigabeat.
01:57:29Mouser_XIt's got some of the best hardware you'll find in a DAP.
01:57:33jenkybetter than ipod or iriver?
01:57:37Mouser_XEasily.
01:57:44Mouser_XiPod = not good at all...
01:57:49Mouser_X(Hardware wise.)
01:58:06Mouser_XThough, I should add that it's not bad, for some things.
01:58:17Mouser_X(What those are though, I don't know. I don't have an iPod.)
01:58:27jenkyhmm though you cna play video on ipods now?
01:58:34Calciphergigabeat is a monster on the processing end
01:58:40Calcipherlucky bastadge haha
01:58:41jenkyi see
01:58:53Mouser_XiPod CPU = 80 mhz (if I have heard correctly).
01:59:00Mouser_XGigabeat CPU = 300 mhz.
01:59:11Mouser_XYou decide which one will run better...
01:59:15Mouser_X:P
01:59:22jenky:)
01:59:31krazykitfor the ipod video, the original firmware is still suggested for playback
01:59:40krazykitvideo playback, that is, obviously.
01:59:49Mouser_XVery true (and it's something I *should* have mentioned...)
02:00
02:00:17jenkynot sure i care about video anyway actually.. FM tuner would be nice
02:00:35Mouser_XAh.
02:00:45Mouser_XWell, the Sansa players are looking really nice.
02:01:09krazykitthey're just limited to 8 gigs + microSD cards
02:01:36Mouser_XHowever, if you want a lot of space, then they might not be for you (the Sansa players are flash based, so they have less on-board memory. However, they're far more durable, as a result of that)

02:21:03Mouser_XNeither.
02:21:08Mouser_XThey don't run Rockbox.
02:21:11scorcherockbox doesnt support those units
02:21:26Mouser_XYou'll want a Gigabeat F or X (the X is expensive, and hard to find though.)

02:58:36webguest78hello, I was wondering if anybody can tell me how well rockbox works on ipod 5.5g
03:00
03:00:16Mouser_Xwebguest78: About as well as it does on any of the other targets.
03:00:47Mouser_X(There used to be a few "hiccups" here and there, but I think many of them have been worked out.)
03:01:17Mouser_XThough, in comparison to the OF if the iPod, Rockbox will run down the battery faster.
03:01:29preglow377% realtime
03:01:29webguest78Ok. I just found a blog post mentioning Rockbox, am trying to find out whether it's a worthwhile replacement for the built in software
03:01:43webguest78377%?
03:01:49Lloreanwebguest78: Different conversation
03:01:51preglowwebguest78: developer talk, ignore it
03:02:07webguest78ok
03:02:14Mouser_Xpreglow: Pretty cool stuff!
03:02:40Mouser_Xwebguest78: You can dual-boot Rockbox, and the OF on the iPod.
03:02:40preglowi should have done this a long time ago
03:02:41Lloreanwebguest78: Whether you'll consider Rockbox a suitable replacement depends entirely on what you want. As was mentioned, Rockbox gets less battery life on those iPods right now. It also can't play video well on them due to the undocumented nature of the extra video hardware.
03:02:42preglowso bloody simple
03:03:04webguest78oh, ok
03:03:12webguest78I don't use videos much, takes too long to transcode them
03:03:12Mouser_XIn other words, you can have *both* the original firmware, and Rockbox installed.
03:03:18webguest78That would come in handy.
03:03:33Mouser_XSo, you could get the best of both, if that's how you want to run it.
03:04:01webguest78Does Rockbox have any plugins capable of opening PDFs?
03:04:07webguest78Too much to hope, I guess
03:04:09scorcheno
03:04:39webguest78Ok, thanks

04:48:08keanu|awaysarixe: aside from this playback bug, which other bug are you referring to?
04:48:12scorchewhat is the purpose in trying to convince me that something needs to be done, if you dont speak from reality?
04:48:27sarixealright, wow. let me start over.

04:49:08scorcherockbox isnt bought or sold, it isnt offered to a market
04:49:22sarixeokay, so i used the wrong word.
04:49:35scorchewell, the word brings with it certain expectations

04:50:14scorchebecause why market it if it isnt?
04:50:35scorchethat is just the thing....rockboxisnt released
04:50:36sarixeok, but when will it BE stable?
04:50:47scorchewhen a release comes out, if ever
04:50:56scorcheit is perfectly stable for me
04:50:57sarixeisn't it vice versa?

04:51:44kugelwe all dont get him
04:51:48sarixethe release would come out when rockbox is stable
04:51:50sarixenot the other way
04:52:04 Quit pill ("changing servers")
04:52:21scorcherockbox isnt going to magically be release ready...that requires things liek feature freezes, etc
04:52:28sarixeyes, yes
04:52:41scorchebut as has been said by many people, rockbox is very stable for them
04:53:26 Join pill [0] (i=pill@sloth.shellfx.net)
04:53:32sarixeyes, but it's not exactly what i would consider quality software. the only thing keeping me from completely giving up on rockbox is that there is no other alternative that supports gapless playback.
04:53:36scorcheas i said, you are free to join in the bug crunching effort if you feel we arent doing enough
04:53:48sarixeother than that, the iaudio default firmware well surpasses rockbox.
04:54:05scorche"quality software"?...you are a tester...rockbox isnt released
04:54:11sarixei know.
04:54:12scorchein what ways?
04:55:22scorcheand if you know, why are you having the expectation that there shouldnt be bugs?
04:55:27sarixewell, it's user-friendly, the menus are operate very smoothly, it doesn't crash, etc etc
04:55:32sarixeer
04:55:40sarixe-are
04:55:40kugeldid anyone of the rockbox maker claim that rockbox is quality software?
04:56:02sarixeno, but is that not the goal?
04:56:19sarixei thought the purpose was to be better...
04:56:43kugelsure, but atm it isnt, so you can't talk about quality software at this point
04:56:50sarixetrue
04:56:52scorchehow could rockbox be more user-friendly?...i havent heard that the menus arent smooth at all, rockbox doesnt crash often...i have never had a crash unless i am making it crash myself
04:57:33sarixei crash it all the time, not on purpose, though i can't cite instances off the top of my head
04:57:48scorchethen perhaps you are just lucky..
04:57:53sarixeand the menus are slow and awkward.

04:59:24sarixescorche : when i'm scrolling through long lists, it zooms by as i configured it for a few seconds, stops, then starts again. all without any hard drive activity.
05:00
05:00:03scorchesarixe: well, i cant really say anything about that, as i havent encoutered anything like that
05:00:43sdoyonddalton: Well with pondlife's commit this morning, everything is out-of-date :-). Working on it.
05:01:01kugelsarixe: please remember that all the guys are doing that in their spare time, without the goal (for the moment at least) to release a final, stable, etc, firmware
05:01:06ddaltonsdoyon: ok
05:01:16sarixeright
05:01:29scorcheno one is getting paid for this, no promises are given that it will be seamless, bug-free, etc
05:01:40sarixegot it...
05:01:50scorcheit doesnt seem liek you do though
05:01:50sarixebut same with, say, debian
05:02:06scorchei realize you keep saying "i know", but with everything that you are saying, you are talking about how rockbox should be seamless, bug free, and a finished product...
05:02:24Doomed_debian has a vast amount of people working on it, unlike rockbox
05:02:48scorchedebian has tons of bugs....every piece of software does....the thing is, debian has TONS of maintainers and devs, and they have releases

05:03:21keanu|awayRockbox on the other hand has several people working on it, but not as many as other projects
05:03:37sarixealright
05:03:39sarixethat says it then
05:03:51sarixesorry for being such a prick
05:04:03scorcheas has been mentioned before, we would love to have someone come on and join the effort in making rockbox better
05:04:10ddaltonsdoyon: are you getting my pm?
05:04:11kugelfeel free to help making rockbox a better "product" (you seem to like that word)
05:04:14scorches/someone/you
05:04:44kugelanyway, i think your clams are inappropriate
05:04:47sarixewhat i meant by "product" was more of the term "release"... not to treat it as if it was being marketed
05:05:03scorchesarixe: and as we said, rockbox isnt released :)
05:05:13sarixeright...
05:06:00sarixei guess my whole thing was that there should be different branches or something, like a branch for the bleeding edge, and a branch for working out the bugs or something
05:06:33scorchesarixe: well, that hampers development, and is not in our view at this time
05:06:43sarixei guess
05:06:58sarixeas i said, i don't even know much about the whole process
05:07:10sarixeso i probably made a fool of myself this whole time
05:07:22scorcheyes, there are many bugs to work out, and they should be, but to expect rockbox to me seamless is a bit off center
05:07:34sarixek
05:08:02kugelyou should've catch up on this before starting this discussion
05:08:21sarixeyeah...
05:09:42ddaltonsdoyon: what are you going to do with your quick info patch? I find it really useful and it is really good to do things really quickly.
05:09:46ddaltonput it on the tracker?
05:09:50ddaltonor not?

05:17:11ddaltongood. is the mpeg player problem fixed with pondlife's commit?
05:18:16scorchesarixe: well, there are reasons we say to use a *current* build when report...a lot of things can change in a few minutes
05:18:26Calcipherwell I didn't test since this morning, and this morning it was only partially fixed, I'm just saying hello, have to run and meet my friends, see you all
05:18:31sarixeyeah, seems so :P
05:18:59ddaltonsdoyon: ok well I think we still need to give the user an option of the old menu. Since sighted users probably won't like it. But blind people probably find the old quick screen not to useful.

05:31:00spiffytechI'm trying to get Rockbox working on my 1st-gen iPod. It's installed and runs, but when I try to do the database initialization, the process hangs at ~587 files found, despite the fact that I haven't put anything on the device yet. I've done the iTunes restore, formatted, reinstalled Rockbox, searched the bug tracker, etc., but cannot figure this out. What could be the problem?

05:33:54saratogadatabase hangs usually mean you have a file with bad tags
05:34:05sdoyonddalton: re 7764: you need to be more careful with 0 duration splashes, it's usually more tricky. Some are redrawn very often to show progress, others are there to keep you waiting but sometimes for a very short time: shorter than it would take to voice it. Need to check case by case, but if I didn't include them it's because I wasn't sure they were safe or useful. Unless they're new :-).

05:35:20ddaltonoh ok I thought I was wasting my time a bit once I did an update because I thought you would have added them if they were useful or if you could actually get them to voice.
05:35:42spiffytechsaratoga: I don't have any music files on the device. I've even done a clean restore from iTunes before installing Rockbox. Searching the drive's two folders (Calendars and Contacts) shows nothing in either.
05:36:06saratogaspiffytech: there are more folders then that on there, though some are hidden
05:36:26saratogasounds like you still have a large itunes library on there and one of those files hangs the metadata parser
05:36:26sdoyonddalton: Those are what took long when I made that first big patch, checking the code around each of these places. Often it's for players I don't have or weird error conditions so they can't be tried out easily.
05:36:47 Quit sarixe ("(EE) Failed to load "quit" module")
05:37:05ddaltonsdoyon: looks like you and I are the only blind users here. Do you think voicing the elapsed time when stopseek is activated would be annoying?
05:37:31ddaltonso when you stop holding fast forward or rewind.
05:37:46sdoyonddalton: very annoying I would think.
05:38:03Mouser_XCould be an option (though, I don't know if that's worth it.)
05:38:11spiffytechsaratoga: the iTunes restore claims that it deletes all songs from the iPod. Is there another way that I should remove the iTunes library?
05:38:16sdoyonddalton: anyway, you need feedback during rewind, not when stopping. And you'd want some awareness of acceleration...
05:38:31ddaltonok I will forget about it thought it might be useful for very long files like books...
05:39:20saratogaspiffytech: I don't know what the ipod restore does
05:39:34saratogamight want to check how much free space is available
05:39:44sdoyonddalton: As I propose on the ML, a navigation screen for coarse movement might be handy. And if I had more spare time I'd like to try a noisy rewind/ffwd like on a cD player... doesn't work as well with compressed audio, but still.

05:49:17karashataspiffytech: saratoga left, and, I don't believe Rockbox keeps logs of any sort
05:50:03sdoyonddalton: See if you can have a one-to-one correspondance between lines of text and things to say. Use a switch case in the callback. Probably should use an enum for the case values to avoid #ifdef hell...

10:08:45rashern1s: I'm not really working on talking Database - I did the client-side script, but I don't for a second understand how tagtree.c/tree.c works, so I'm pretty much waiting for someone else to do it

10:09:27rasherWould be nice if someone did though
10:09:35n1syup
10:09:48amiconnIt would mean we could use some extra IRAM on Mini G2, Nano, Video, and the Sansas, but otoh it means that rockbox builds could fail for PP5020 when they don't fail for PP5022

10:14:08linuxstb_If it's there, I think we should use it - the build table will quickly tell people if they've broken builds... But IRAM doesn't seem that important on PP502x, so I wouldn't expect big gains.
10:15:35amiconnWell, it depends. If an array that's constantly walked *and* is bigger than the cache, iram would still beneficial
10:18:10linuxstb_Are you planning on looking at the rest of APE - i.e. the entropy decoding stage?
10:20:38amiconnno
10:21:11amiconnAt least not now. I have lots of other stuff that I need and/or want to do...
10:22:01amiconnIf the entropy decoder could be optimised by the same factor as predictor and filter, -c3000 would become usable on coldfire
10:22:07linuxstb_OK. I assume you've done as much as you can with the filter/predictor now?
10:22:26amiconnThe predictor approximately doubled speed, as did the filter
10:22:57amiconnRunning only the predictor would be >800% realtime on cf now
10:23:21linuxstb_-c3000 doesn't look feasible on PP though, even with dual-core...
10:23:47amiconnYeah, but right now, even -c1000 isn't usable on PP
10:24:11amiconnI *could* use it on my mini g2 with CPUFREQ_MAX pushed to 100MHz
10:24:22amiconnBut that wouldn't really make sense

11:06:09amiconnpreglow: It depends on the usual value of 'ord'

11:06:19preglowi've got 16khz speex wideband files going at 370% realtime on coldfire now, managed to put both narrowband and wideband decoder structs in iram
11:06:25linuxstb_Isn't it just 16-bit co-efficients, processing a 32-bit array of data?
11:06:39amiconnlinuxstb: That's what I'm wondering....
11:07:40amiconnLooks like the vector add/sub and scalar product only work on the coefficients
11:08:26amiconnpreglow: If you know it's always 8 or 10 then you can make both use of the emac and movem
11:09:04amiconnNot much adding to the same destination in there, but you can use the emac as a fast multiplier, multiplying 4 values into acc0...acc3, and then fetching them
11:09:50amiconnFetching value pairs can also applied here, even using mac with parallel load
11:10:52preglowyeah
11:11:09preglowonly thing different from flac is that the mem vector isn't stored in the x vector
11:11:19preglowannoying, the flac lpc routines are really fast :/
11:12:04linuxstb_Yes, very annoying...
11:13:23preglowamiconn: i'm just wondering if emac will really be that much faster, i can't use it as an accumulator, and i'm thinking perhaps muls.w will be as fast when i combine the mac.w with the stall and the movclr.l
11:13:34***Saving seen data "./dancer.seen"
11:13:46preglowafter all, muls is also pretty fast thanks to the emac multiplier unit
11:16:19preglowthe parallel load might change that, of course
11:20:18preglowlinuxstb_: do all telechips devices support this usb boot mode?
11:21:17amiconnBut using the 4 accumulators you only get 1 stall every 4 multiplications, as opposed to (effectively) every multiplication
11:22:10linuxstb_preglow: In theory. On the iaudio 7, TMM found a key combination to enter it on boot. On my Logik DAB/MP3 player, there doesn't appear to be a key combination, but I discovered that if I removed the NAND flash module (it's on a daughterboard), the device enters USB boot mode as a fall-back and appears to work fine...
11:23:46TMMpreglow: the TCC chips themselves always fall back to USB boot, question is if all devices will allow for a way to enter it... I suppose you can always modify the player to allow for it. Perhaps looking at the leads on linuxstb_'s PCB we can find out how :)
11:23:54linuxstb_It's more or less the same as "manufacturing mode" on the Sansas, but the TCC devices require a few more fields in the header - the Sansas just want the length of the upload in bytes.

11:28:07LloreanCould whatever handles metadata for SID files look for the presence of it in .rockbox?

11:29:01preglowproper taggin would have been cool
11:29:42preglowthe text is sorted by some kind of md5, though, so we could binary sort it, but it'd still be really kludgy
11:30:12preglowalso, the inclusion of an md5 routine will make the sid metadata loader the biggest of them all :/

11:54:25preglowlinuxstb_: smacking things onto sids are a bad idea unless in the front, i think
11:54:36JdGordondo a search for database debug or something
11:54:38preglowlinuxstb_: i _think_ i remember it'll just be read as part of the sids memory bank
11:54:59linuxstb_Is that a bad thing?
11:55:21preglowit's very hard to say, every sid file is a program, so that extra data might be used for something
11:55:36preglowalso, if the bank is already full, that data might overflow somewhere
11:56:00preglowanyway, i hate it when people smack tags onto things where they don't belong
11:56:08preglowso i'm not going to start advocating it myself
11:56:15linuxstb_So there's no header in the file, saying how large the data is, the whole file is read?
11:56:38preglowthere is a header, but i don't know what it contains
11:56:48preglowkinda weird, i actually made a .sid loader a few years back...
11:57:11LloreanWell it's not necessarily "where they don't belong" if there's no good way to carry track length yet otherwise
11:57:23ddaltonJdGordon: database ?
11:57:32preglowLlorean: yes it is
11:57:51preglowLlorean: if existing players no way in hell expect something to be there, we shouldn't start putting things there
11:57:55Lloreanpreglow: By that standard, the very first ID3v1 tags were "where they don't belong" though?
11:58:27linuxstb_preglow: OK, so what do you think about inventing a new format?
11:58:52preglowthe very first id3 tags appeared a hell of a lot earlier than we'd be appearing in the sid scene with this tagging stuff now
11:58:59ddaltonthat didn't work...
11:59:08ddaltonmy clipboard is stuffed
11:59:24preglowlinuxstb_: well, sure, but that doesn't change the fact that the single hugest sid archive doesn't use that format and only comes with a text file as metadata
11:59:32preglowlinuxstb_: i'm not a fan of having to alter my files to have them play
11:59:39JdGordonddalton: bah, its still tagcache in debug_menu.c

12:42:24ddaltonabove the trunk folder so the one with trunk branches and what ever else
12:42:40bluebrothercd to trunk
12:42:55ddaltonyep so if I run svn check out from ~ ( not in an rb dir) it gives me the error as well
12:43:17bluebrothermaybe there's an error in your svn co command?
12:43:36bluebrotheralso, once you have checked out you need to use svn up, not co
12:44:21ddaltondo I type: " svn co svn://svn.rockbox.org/rockbox rockbox"

12:59:00bluebrotherno idea what's broken in your case. Works fine here, but getting everything is huuuge.
12:59:21ddaltonshould I delete something?

13:43:30JdGordonadd an OF in there somewhere
13:45:27amiconnI'd think a combined page for all (supported) Sansas would make sense
13:46:14*amiconn had an idea how iram utilisation could be improved for targets where it's essential
13:46:47amiconnAtm we have the codec swap in playback.c, which swaps both dram and iram between voice and main codec
13:47:22amiconnThe iram swap idea could be extended, so that threads might request iram as a resource from the scheduler

13:47:56ddaltonXavierGr: given up on that alarm?
13:47:56amiconnThe scheduler would swap iram in & out when switching threads which have an associated iramcopy
13:48:04JdGordonbarrywardell: yeah, it doesnt work for me either, maybe it has something to do with which of you upgraded from?
13:48:24amiconnThere would of course be a set maximum of how many threads could request iram
13:49:13barrywardellJdGordon: What do you mean?
13:49:37amiconnAside from a small, statically allocated iram area this might even allow to share all iram between core, codecs, and plugins
13:49:47JdGordonbarrywardell: well, i downgraded (cant rememebr which to which) and ever since then it stopped
13:50:34amiconnThis idea would only work for single core in its current form. For dual core, each core could have its own set though, splitting iram evenly between cores
13:52:12amiconnThis technique would e.g. allow to use the full iram for both audio & video thread in mpegplayer, and still have voice available...
13:53:34barrywardellJdGordon: but surely it still just checks the same bit regardless, especially if it sets that bit
13:53:55JdGordonyou'd think so.. but seems not?

15:32:52Buschelhi folks, question: did anyone of you experience delays in the startup phase of rockbox? since a few days (i don
15:32:56BigBambiI listen to either albums or shuffled bigger playlists
15:32:56Buscheloops...
15:34:00JdGordonbarrywardell: it doesnt change
15:34:12Buschel...don't know exactly which rev) i experience the hmi coming up and being visible, but the backlight is off and no interaction (like scrolling) is possible. after a few seconds the backlight switches on and everything is working. seen on ipod video
15:34:15LloreanBigBambi: I'm trying to weight settings, and it seems to be it's possible replaygain should be one of those things that 'just works' though possible with the options still hidden away somewhere, but not necessarily in the immediate clutter, and with on and track-if-shuffle as default
15:34:50barrywardellJdGordon: can you do a dump with the database rebuild bit set too?
15:35:10pixelmakubiix: did you run "configure" again after the "make clean"?
15:35:14barrywardellit looks like the offset in the latest rockbox bl should work
15:35:36JdGordonim running the svn bl
15:35:50JdGordonyou want a dump from before the byte changes in the rb bl?
15:35:53BigBambiLlorean: I can't imagine many people bother to replaygain their tracks then don't use it.
15:36:15LloreanBigBambi: Me either, the only concern is "acquired" tracks where the user doesn't know what their tags contain. :)
15:36:22barrywardellthe dump you gave me looks like it wouldn't cause a db rebuild
15:36:31barrywardellI'd like one that would cause a db rebuild
15:36:37BigBambiLlorean: And to me track if shuffle is the very obvious usage.
15:36:52BigBambiLlorean: True, there is that, and some people seem to like doing odd things :)
15:36:56LloreanBut I think a default to "respect replaygain tags" is probably fine.
15:37:00barrywardellso just modify any file like bertrik's instructions say, then do the dump again
15:37:00BigBambiyep
15:37:04BigBambiMakes sense to me
15:37:36LloreanI'm thinking that both Replaygain, Crossfeed, and maybe "Equalizer" can go under "Advanced" sound options, while Bass/Treble/Channels can go under the basic.
15:37:44LloreanAnd Browse EQ presets can go in Basic too
15:37:52BigBambiSounds fine to me
15:38:12BigBambiTo be honest, there are quite a lot of options I just can't guess where they would be at the moment
15:38:16Lloreanyeah
15:38:22JdGordonbarrywardell: deleted some files, then did the dump but no change..
15:38:29pixelmaLlorean: you just can't make it a global default for all targets (though someone was working on a replaygain for the hwcodec ones not that long ago...)

15:39:19barrywardellJdGordon: weird.
15:39:35LloreanI'm trying to put options in three categories, "Necessary and High Use", "Necessary but Rarely Used" and "Unnecessary"
15:39:36JdGordonit should have changed without rebooting right?
15:39:44LloreanReplaygain settings seem to be "Rarely Used"
15:39:45BigBambiLlorean: Good luck
15:39:47 Nick parafin is now known as parafin|away (i=parafin@paraf.in)
15:40:11barrywardellJdGordon: yeah, it did for me at least
15:40:12LloreanBigBambi: Apparently the rockbox menus print out to about 9 pages, not counting all the options in each choice.
15:40:22barrywardellit changes while usb is still connected
15:40:30LloreanThough this seems to include the default tagnavi.
15:40:30BigBambiReplaygain I think should default on with track if shuffle, and then almost no-one would ever touch it. If you use replaygain it works, if you don't it doesn't affect you
15:40:53JdGordonbarrywardell: ok, ill keep trying to make it change
15:40:59JdGordonmaybe the filetype changed effects it?
15:41:12JdGordonalthough, no, it still rebuilds
15:41:18LloreanBigBambi: My *personal* preference would be to not even have an option for replaygain on/off or preamp, remove the EQ precut, put in a global preamp, and have "track, album, track if shuffle, and off" as one "Replaygain" option.
15:41:19BigBambiLlorean: I've thought a few times about making my version of the menu reorder attempt, then given up in despair :)
15:41:35LloreanI don't think "off" is strictly necessary, but I think I'd get lynched if I suggested removing it.
15:41:44BigBambiLlorean: I would agree with that
15:42:16LloreanAnd that's two less options right there, and makes it a lot less likely for someone to not realize they have to both set a replaygain mode AND turn it on.
15:42:19BigBambiWe have some options I think that don't make sense having on/offs unless you set the parameters too
15:42:33PaulJamI would ike to see the preamp option to be changed that it only effects files that do not contain replaygain tags.
15:42:40moosLlorean: all this is very *subjective*, no? ;)
15:42:43BigBambiLlorean: I say go for it :)
15:42:55BigBambiYou can take the flack and I'll just sit here and appreciate it :)
15:43:39BigBambiDoes replaygain preamp currently work on all or just replaygained tracks?

15:46:04moosBuschel: speaking of this, my musepack sound problem on ARM was because preamp with high values (thing that doesn't affect coldfire targets)
15:46:13barrywardellJdGordon: a bit must be set somewhere to cause the rebuild
15:47:21Buschelmoos: that's good news
15:47:33barrywardellJdGordon: looking at your dump, 0x10e1 and 0x3b92 look like the most likely candidates
15:47:51moosBuschel: sort of :)
15:48:25JdGordonis there a way to force linux to flush the disk without unmounting it?
15:48:37Buschelso, nobody ever had this kind of issue when starting up rockbox on ipod video? i have it constantly
15:48:53PaulJamlittle question: if i set the equalizer preamp to -9dB and the replaygain preamp to +9dB would this affect the soundquality?
15:49:01Lloreanmoos: The entire menu structure is already subjective, though?
15:49:23JdGordonbarrywardell: dumping th whole partition i got a byte to change
15:49:28Lloreanmoos: I'm not going to remove on/off if there's a use for it. But for example, the EQ is already "off" if all bands are at 0db, so an "On/Off" switch is redundant.
15:49:38moosBuschel: pitty this ARM problem, quote from preglow"...standard arm doesn't have saturating add instructions..."
15:49:43barrywardellJdGordon: which byte?

16:08:13barrywardellJdGordon: I think I see what's going on
16:08:35barrywardellyou have several copies of the block that has the database rebuild bit in it in your nvparams
16:08:48barrywardellthe of always checks the last block for the bit
16:09:07mrkikoWhen i go on a spoken menu and navigate through its items, if I go fast enough to interrupt the voice ten times, then rockbox will repeat the same item for two or three times again, then crash.
16:09:24mrkikoI've not submitted a bug report cause I'm not sure it's not my fault.
16:09:50mrkikoSo if someone has another iriver and the spare time to test this, then things change...

16:43:45pixelmaJdGordon: yes, I do. But someone would have to tell me how to do such a dump (in cygwin, windows XP)...
16:44:07RBRecorderI have a question regarding a certain indexing standard for MP3 files.
16:44:27JdGordoncygwin should be doable
16:44:36RBRecorderfollowing. Blind people use an index created with I think XML, called Daisy.
16:44:40JdGordonpixelma: check if your cygwin install has dd
16:45:00RBRecorderThere are players which can make advantage of this index, and navigate in PM3 by line, paragraph, sentence or page etc.
16:45:04pixelmakubiix: slowly getting out of ideas - what target are you compiling for?
16:45:19amiconndd is a standard command in cygwin
16:45:25pixelmaJdGordon: yes

16:45:38amiconnIt requires admin rights to use it on disk devices though
16:45:38JdGordoncan cygwin access the hidden partion?
16:45:42RBRecorderquestion would be, if this standard could be portable to Rockbox somehow.

16:46:31kubiixpixelma: ipod color or ipod video (both normal and sim), i think the problem is in generating lang.h, not all LANG_xx variables are generated
16:47:04amiconnJdGordon: cygwin can't access hidden partitions directly, you need to go through the raw device
16:47:48JdGordon/dev/sdb2 or something
16:47:51keanu|awayJdGordon: will that work? I tried yesterday, and couldn't get to the hidden partition. then again, I was only using dd for windows, and not cygwin
16:47:56amiconnThat means one has to find the start sector of the hidden partition first (from the partition table)
16:48:19RBRecordermost people have to use quite expensive commercial hardware players for this, even though there is free software for the PC which can accomplish the same things.

17:30:43JRoTcan i just use it with my normal rockbox bluebrother
17:30:44JRoT?
17:31:23Lloreankugel: First question: Why aren't you using the official bootloader version?
17:31:31rasherFound a bug in jpeg viewer by the way: if you open a file with playback stopped, then start playback using the jpegviewer menu, and switch to next image - instant crash.
17:31:47rasher(don't have time to report it right now)
17:31:47bluebrotheryou need to patch the build. Which makes, by definition, such a build not being an official build anymore.
17:31:55kugelLlorean: because I wanted to deactivate the database refresh
17:31:58Lloreanrasher: All images, or only when the images are big enough to require part of the audio buffer?
17:32:25Lloreankugel: Well, while it's *unlikely* that it's related, we do ask that you use entirely official software. That means "the version we currently have posted for download"
17:32:29JRoTcan you tell me how to do that bluebrother?
17:32:41rasherLlorean: I *think* it's all images, but I don't quite recall how large the image I tested with was. I believe it was quite small though
17:32:44bluebrotherI can but I won't. The wiki has all information needed.
17:32:52JRoTohw oke
17:33:08JRoTif i search at costum patch i will find it?\
17:33:28bluebrotherwhat is "costum patch"?
17:33:45bluebrothersearch the tracker for the task string I gave you −− "scrolling margins"
17:34:05bluebrotherand make sure you read (and understood) how patching works first.
17:34:41kugelok, i've tried the official bootloader now
17:34:53kugelthe problem remains
17:36:00Lloreankugel: Next, it'd help if you could confirm it started with the dual core commit. The more specific information you can post to the tracker, probably the better
17:37:12JRoTthnx bluebrother

18:35:02bertrikand use #defines instead of magic numbers
18:35:50w1ll14mok, so they are called magic numbers
18:36:11w1ll14mnow i need to know how they are calculated.....
18:36:21w1ll14mbrb i'm going on a ride for google ;)
18:36:40jeplerthere's some logic to them .. for instance you can see that "10/3 * 24MHz" has "0a 03" as the low two bytes. Also, the numbers all have the high bit set
18:36:57jepler * Bits 20..21 select the post divider (1/2/4/8).
18:37:09jepleralso there's this comment ^^
18:37:33w1ll14mlet me check,,,,
18:38:01jeplerthe other line I'm referring to is PLL_CONTROL = 0x8a020a03; /* 10/3 * 24MHz */

20:27:06n1samiconn: yup, we could store the codepage for the lang (or whatever it's called) in the header and rockbox could have a list of which font covers what, maybe not for all fonts but a few and unifont as a fallback
20:27:18bluebrotherthe bootloaders aren't updated regularly
20:27:31bluebrotherand that commit is only a bunch of hours ago. So, no.
20:28:44amiconnn1s: There is no 'code page' for the language, as we use unicode all over (utf-8)
20:28:51linuxstbalienbiker99: Bootloaders are updated manually, so give people a chance...
20:28:56barrywardell_pixelma: missed it. thanks for pointing out
20:29:33linuxstbalienbiker99: And they're not always updated after every change.
20:29:40alienbiker99oh ok, i just saw it and thought i would try to update it. i didn't know that they were updated manually
20:29:41amiconnUnicode defines so-called "ranges" though - perhaps it's enough to check those ranges
20:30:08amiconnThen the language file would need to idicate what range(s) it needs
20:31:03amiconnI mean this list: http://www.unicode.org/charts/
20:31:42bluebrothercould also help to ensure the selected font has all required characters available (given that the font stores this information too)
20:31:53amiconnNot all of those are needed because rockbox only supports the BMP
20:32:14amiconnbluebrother: Too costly, imo, and often not wanted
20:32:38amiconnI mean, imho it's better to use a font that misses 1 or 2 characters instead of refusing it
20:33:25bluebrotherimo it wouldn't be needed to reject the font but better to show a splash instead.
20:34:38barrywardell_alienbiker99: I think I'll make a new version of sansapatcher with the new bootloader stuff

20:37:24alienbiker99Crash91 its done when its done,
20:37:44amiconnI thought you searched it. Just copying from another target isn't that nice an idea, since the actual panel might be different, needing different parameters
20:37:44keanu|awayCrash91: X%
20:37:58bluebrothera percent value doesn't tell anything if it gets stuck at say 98% :P
20:38:03keanu|awayheh
20:38:26barrywardell_amiconn: I think it's actually the exact same panel, the only difference is in using the PP bridge
20:38:27*bluebrother likes these installers that run rather quickly and need ages for the last 5%
20:38:29linuxstbCrash91: It's the kind of work where unexpected problems keep getting hit. So it could be tomorrow, or next week, or next month...
20:38:29amiconnI need the TL1771 inits for the small H10, in order to be able to implement the optimised yuv blit, plus some of the missing features
20:39:34amiconnbluebrother: I like the installers even more which have a percentage bar which, when reaching the end, restarts from the beginning, several times
20:39:51bluebrother;-)
20:40:06amiconnbarrywardell_: Hmm, but you also added some inits for the bridge itself. Where are those from?
20:40:18nowe200 has alarm clock ?
20:40:29nowin rockbox
20:40:31linuxstbbluebrother: Presumably rbutil just says "Relax, it will be done when it's done..." ?
20:40:34 Nick fxb is now known as fxb__ (n=felixbru@h1252615.stratoserver.net)
20:40:34*bluebrother just got the idea of some svn stats thingy ... like "x commits today, y commits during the last 24 hours, z lines changed"
20:40:45bluebrotherlinuxstb: yeah, we should add something like that.
20:42:23barrywardell_amiconn: the only init I see is the CLCD_CLOCK_SRC and you added that ;)
20:42:24Domonokythere are already progressbars in rbutil, which just go fast forwards and backwords, because we cant really calculate the progress :-)
20:42:39amiconnbarrywardell_: I mean the big H10 of course...
20:43:27bluebrotherat least those don't restart but go backwards again :)
20:43:37Domonoky:-)
20:43:41barrywardell_amiconn: where exactly are you talking about? I can't see it
20:44:00amiconnHmm, seems I confused something...
20:44:08amiconnThe c200 has some bridge inits...
20:50:25barrywardell_linuxstb: do you think it's ok to just keep bumping sansapatcher version by 0.1 and bootloaders by 1.0 for each release?
20:51:24 Part Crash91
20:52:23linuxstbbarrywardell: Maybe we should only bump sansapatcher when sansapatcher itself changes.
20:52:59barrywardell_it did change this time...
20:53:13barrywardell_but I agree with you in general
20:53:15linuxstbAh yes, your -bl option.
20:53:30barrywardell_no, the nvparams zeroing
20:54:13linuxstbWhat's that for?
20:54:44barrywardell_I just committed it today
20:55:01barrywardell_it clears the nvparams section of the firmware partition when updating the of
20:55:29barrywardell_this was necessary to get the no database rebuild trick working.
20:56:50pixelmahmm... how do people rebuild the OF'S database when they want to use it too and does the OF need it?
20:56:56linuxstbHmm, this all seems a waste of time with USB support imminent...
20:57:47barrywardell_pixelma: the database gets rebuilt when the OF starts without the USB cable connected
20:57:50pixelmathis thought just crossed my mind now, because I'm only annoyed by it and don't intent to use the OF

20:59:50markunamiconn, bluebrother: perhaps dircache and tagcache could also not all the used unicode ranges and show a splash screen when loading a font which doesn't contain all the ranges needed

21:00:45linuxstbbarrywardell_: Sure, I understand that, and I guess this is why Zagor decided to take USB into his own hands...
21:01:37barrywardell_linuxstb: the nvparams zeroing is still a good idea imho, regardless of USB. otherwise you end up with some weirdness
21:02:08linuxstbSo the Sansa upgrade procedure doesn't do it?
21:02:28linuxstbI mean the proper upgrade procedure, rather than sansapatcher.
21:02:28bertriksome person called austriancoder was also working on USB as far as I understood, is he also still working on it?
21:02:47linuxstbbertrik: No-one has heard from him for a while...
21:02:57bluebrotheraustriancoder worked on usb as part of GSoC.
21:03:41bluebrotherafaik he still wanted to complete it. But I'm not aware of any details
21:04:05bertrikok, understood
21:04:35Domonokyafaik austriancoder has no time because of uni ..
21:04:53barrywardell_linuxstb: with sansapatcher upgrading, myself and JdGordon were both getting multiple copies of the NVPARAMS data ending in the partition. I haven't experienced that with the OF upgrade procedure

23:30:09rasherSlasheri: How slow? Slow is always preferable over broken if you ask me.
23:30:22Slasheriwell, unacceptable slow
23:30:51rasherStill, not working (as expected by the user, that is) is also unacceptable in my eyes
23:30:59Slasherihmm, true..

23:31:29pixelmaSlasheri: any idea what is different between the "xen" and your other server - the other one produces slightly bigger sh binaries (so that they get coloured), xen isn't
23:31:37Slasherilittle improvement to the tagcache ui could fix that
23:32:28rasherSlasheri: do you have a ballpark figure of how slow it is? Are we talking half an hour or something bizarre like that, or a minute or so?
23:32:28Slasheripixelma: i have no idea about that, the xen is newer AMD64 dual-core, and Ihme older intel dual xeon machine
23:33:27Slasherirasher: tens of minutes probably
23:33:44rasherSlasheri: is this in the background?
23:34:08Slasheriin fact detecting new files isn't that slow (and iirc, it's enabled without dircache too), but the reverse scan is very slow
23:34:11Slasheriyep
23:34:42pixelmasomeone reported that he had auto-update enabled on his Sansa e200 and sometimes get double and triple entries, but not sure yet if it's because of the auto-update
23:34:47rasherI'd say it's still better than not detecting deleted files in that case
23:35:12bertrikis the reverse scan slower than a full rescan?
23:35:14rasherPerhaps a splash could warn if you turned on auto-update and didnt have dircache enabled that it'd be slow
23:35:28pixelmahis nick was iamben IIRC, not around at the moment
23:35:38n1sSlasheri: while you're here would it be easy to make the tagcache debug screen show which file it is currently scanning to make debugging easier
23:35:47Slasheribertrik: should be a little faster than a full scan
23:35:54rasherAnyway, for flash targets - I really think the define you mention should be true
23:36:19Slasherin1s: not very easy to do it realtime (if player crashes, that information would be useless)

23:36:30rasherThe player usually doesn't crash
23:36:33Slasheribut showing the file not in realtime would be possible
23:36:36rasherJust the dircache scanning
23:36:45rasherWell, not so much crash as stop, I guess
23:36:48rasherEh, Database
23:36:54Slasherirasher: indeed
23:37:19rasherSo it'd often be very helpful still
23:38:22rasherSince you're pretty much left to doing binary search for the file which is blocking tagcache creation
23:39:21Slasherirasher: hmm, so usually the db scan just halts and other player functions still works?

23:39:48n1sSlasheri: yes, we have had several reports of that happening
23:39:52kugeli usually delete the database files to force a database rebuild, since the auto-update isnt very usable on the sansas
23:39:56rasherI believe so, yes. At least that's what I've gathered from people coming here asking for help when db fails to initialize
23:40:11Slasherihmm.. maybe better way to do it would be detect if db scan crashed and turn on debug mode automatically
23:40:36Slasherithen a log file could be written on disk with performance penalty
23:43:51 Quit toffe82 (Read error: 110 (Connection timed out))
23:43:52rasherAnyway, I strongly believe that Auto Update should always do what the user expects (update new/modified/deleted files), slow as it may be. Optionally with a warning splash on non-flash targets when dircache isn't enabled
23:44:18rasherBut that, of course, is just my opinion.
23:44:47n1srasher: I agree with that (with the splash)
23:44:49Slasherithat sounds logical
23:45:35rasherEspecially if the code is pretty much already there

23:46:10kugelwouldn't the user of multi-volume targets confused by that splash?
23:46:18Slasherii will try to change the #if so that it's enabled automatically for sansa
23:46:31kugelsince there is no dircache
23:46:50rasherkugel: I said non-flash targets. There are no non-flash multivolume targets (officially)

23:47:41Slasheriis there some list somewhere of all flash based targets?
23:47:58 Quit midgey ()
23:48:59rasherSlasheri: I'd expect there to be a define that specifies a flash target, to be honest
23:49:07rasherdon't know if there is one though
23:49:09Slasherihmm, indeed
23:49:17Slasherithat sounds best to me too
23:49:57rasher#define HAVE_FLASH_STORAGE
23:50:49Slasherii will add that
23:50:57rasherIt already exists
23:51:02Slasherioh
