| 00:00:15 | kugel | i wonder why. does the flash memory die earlier with dircache? |
| 00:00:22 | mrkiko | If someone can help me, I'm available - I will not repeat this message so no one will annoy. Thank forreplies. |
| 00:00:34 | Slasheri | rasher: how about displaying a message that reverse scan was not performed when entering into tagcache screen? |
| 00:00:43 | ddalton | mrkiko: I sometimes find the same problem. |
| 00:00:57 | ddalton | actually 5 chrashes last night in half an hour... |
| 00:01:12 | mrkiko | ddalton: oh... what player do you use? |
| 00:01:19 | ddalton | h320 |
| 00:01:25 | Slasheri | kugel: nope, it's just so fast that there isn't much benefit from dircache |
| 00:01:27 | mrkiko | ddalton: wowowowo |
| 00:01:45 | Slasheri | no spin-up times, fast seek etc. |
| 00:01:47 | mrkiko | this is my happy night! :) |
| 00:01:47 | rasher | Slasheri: I agree with dircache not being terribly useful on non-flash, but.. a) It's slightly faster than reading the FAT b) some people are using multivolume with hdd. |
| 00:01:48 | | Quit Mouser_X (Nick collision from services.) |
| 00:02:03 | ddalton | rasher: How do I make the .talk clips for the db using your perl script? |
| 00:02:06 | mrkiko | ddalton: how did you reset it? I need help from someone. |
| 00:02:28 | ddalton | mrkiko: by pressing the button on the side of the unit... |
| 00:02:38 | | Join Mouser_X [0] (n=someone@207.155.176.3) |
| 00:02:40 | rasher | ddalton: well you run the script and pass it thw options it needs, basically. What's not working? |
| 00:02:45 | mrkiko | with something like a pencil? |
| 00:03:00 | kugel | but there isn't a real drawback of dircache on flash, or? |
| 00:03:00 | rasher | ddalton: also note that Database doesn't support it yet, so the clips are rather useless on their own |
| 00:03:10 | Slasheri | kugel: shouldn't be |
| 00:03:17 | ddalton | rasher: I can't work out what options I give it. Can you give me an example |
| 00:03:21 | Slasheri | kugel: so far that patch looks ok |
| 00:03:24 | rasher | kugel: it uses up RAM, but other than that no, just not very many advantages |
| 00:03:33 | ddalton | I want to see how the .talk clips are named so I can try and make them work in the db... |
| 00:04:03 | ddalton | mrkiko: I used a pin because it has to be very small |
| 00:04:06 | rasher | ddalton: ./voice.pl -D -t="flite" -T="" -e="lame" -E="" -l="english" /path/to/player/root |
| 00:04:10 | kugel | rasher talked about a hot swap issue with dircache, how about that? |
| 00:04:29 | rasher | kugel: that's what this patch addresses... |
| 00:04:30 | ddalton | thanks I will try it |
| 00:04:38 | Slasheri | kugel: that patch seems to rescan disk when hotswap event is issued |
| 00:04:56 | Slasheri | so it should work too |
| 00:05:15 | kugel | i see |
| 00:05:33 | mrkiko | ddalton: have you submitted a bug report? I looked but I can't find one. |
| 00:06:02 | ddalton | no im not sure how to fix it. |
| 00:06:20 | pixelma | I thought the real issue wasn't dircache on flash targets bur with the multivolume - and different amount of the ram it needs |
| 00:06:25 | pixelma | *but |
| 00:06:48 | ddalton | is there a sighted user here than can try something for me? |
| 00:07:09 | ddalton | mrkiko: Let me see if I can reproduce it. |
| 00:07:39 | mrkiko | ddalton: if you want you can reproduce it simly interrupting the voice ... |
| 00:08:39 | Slasheri | i think it's ok to commit that dircache patch unless there is anything against it |
| 00:09:17 | rasher | Slasheri: I think you're pretty much the only one who could object against it. Which is a bit of a shame |
| 00:09:40 | kugel | Slasheri: you might contact the patch maker |
| 00:09:45 | Slasheri | well, i will do something for that tomorrow then |
| 00:10:05 | kugel | he could be a help |
| 00:10:48 | ddalton | mrkiko: oh ok just a press of up will do? |
| 00:11:19 | mrkiko | yes... |
| 00:11:45 | mrkiko | ddalton. and... how do you tell when the battery is discharged at all? My reader turned off |
| 00:11:57 | mrkiko | but I would be noticed first (how it happens in the original firmware) |
| 00:12:08 | mrkiko | without checking the place in themenu |
| 00:12:29 | kugel | Slasheri: the patch is out of sync atm (but only 1 hunk fails), i could upload a sync'd version if you want |
| 00:12:52 | ddalton | mrkiko: what about the battery? I use a patch that warns me. |
| 00:13:15 | Slasheri | kugel: it applied fine without errors for me |
| 00:13:24 | mrkiko | ddalton: are you the patch author? |
| 00:13:24 | ddalton | mrkiko: where do you see this problem? What menu. What key press? A short or long press? |
| 00:13:32 | Slasheri | to the latest svn |
| 00:13:36 | kugel | on my sansa there was a hunk failed |
| 00:13:46 | mrkiko | ddalton. ... |
| 00:13:47 | kugel | umm |
| 00:13:55 | ddalton | mrkiko: which patch? FS #7910? |
| 00:14:07 | mrkiko | ddalton: a sequence of ten short pressed in a spoken menus does for me... |
| 00:14:23 | ddalton | once second... |
| 00:14:29 | * | ddalton Goes and tests |
| 00:14:30 | kugel | i meant, i am building for sansa, which isnt necessary |
| 00:15:16 | kugel | but nevertheless i had a hunk failed (with the last posted version though) |
| 00:15:37 | mrkiko | ddalton. I meant the patch that warns you about the battery being exhausted. I asked you who was the author. And why not just commit it upstream? I'm not a rockbox expert so this is just a question... |
| 00:15:59 | | Quit w1ll14m ("CGI:IRC (Ping timeout)") |
| 00:16:22 | ddalton | mrkiko: the one that says the battery level at 50, 30 and 15% is by me yes. |
| 00:16:30 | ddalton | I am hoping it will be committed. |
| 00:16:40 | Slasheri | rasher: i will fix the tc debug screen so that it always shows the current file in realtime |
| 00:16:44 | ddalton | but should probably remove the charging stuff. |
| 00:17:19 | ddalton | mrkiko: I reproduced. Can you give me some time to work on a fix? |
| 00:17:27 | ddalton | If I can... |
| 00:17:33 | mrkiko | ddalton: congratulations! May be some day I'll be able to program in projects such as rockbox... |
| 00:17:48 | ddalton | mrkiko: can you program in c? |
| 00:17:58 | mrkiko | ddalton: yesss |
| 00:18:23 | mrkiko | ddalton. but, for example, i don't know how to debug this problem, since when my reader is crashed I can only notice that it's crashed... |
| 00:18:51 | mrkiko | ddalton: d you understand what I mean? I would be very happy if an ncurses-based emulator exist, but for now the SDL one is the only one I see |
| 00:19:19 | * | mrkiko avoided by miracle to use capital letters, avoiding to be kicked :) |
| 00:19:37 | | Quit ompaul (Client Quit) |
| 00:21:28 | rasher | Slasheri: I don't know if that's strictly necessary - just staticly showing the last one at the time the screen is entered would probably work as well, but it's of course slightly nicer |
| 00:21:38 | ddalton | mrkiko: I am blind and I am just learning c. so you could probably code on rb. Just got learn where everything is and |
| 00:21:42 | ddalton | what functions to use. |
| 00:21:55 | ddalton | The hard thing is testing but with vice that's ok. |
| 00:21:57 | rasher | Slasheri: It'll also help expose problems in tagcache and/or the metadata readers |
| 00:22:07 | ddalton | Then sighted devs usually tell you if something is wrong. |
| 00:22:17 | ddalton | But first write some basic patches |
| 00:22:30 | ddalton | also there is a simulator |
| 00:22:33 | Slasheri | rasher: indeed, i will just make it synchronous |
| 00:23:24 | ddalton | mrkiko: Hmmm I can't seem to reproduce it very easily. |
| 00:23:38 | mrkiko | ddalton. I developed several programs in C so i may know it (or at least it's basic concepts). My problem has always been to find out what functions of the 'kernel' or the 'core firmware' I should use. |
| 00:23:55 | ddalton | If I write a couple of patches for you can you see if the problem still occurs? |
| 00:24:01 | mrkiko | ddalton: can you go on the fm recoder -> virtual keyboard? |
| 00:24:27 | ddalton | mrkiko: where you add a preset and it gives you all the letters? |
| 00:24:29 | mrkiko | ddalton. yes! I would be very happy to help you in any manner I can. |
| 00:24:38 | mrkiko | yes |
| 00:24:45 | ddalton | sure hang on one minute |
| 00:25:11 | mrkiko | ddalton: is this a question? |
| 00:25:49 | mrkiko | ddalton: I'm a little obsessed aniway by crashes: I "love" my iRiver and resetting it make me displease a lot! :) |
| 00:26:25 | mrkiko | ddalton. are you the voice-layer writer? |
| 00:26:28 | ddalton | mrkiko: Ok im there what do you want me to try? |
| 00:26:52 | ddalton | what do you mean by "voice-layer"? |
| 00:26:54 | mrkiko | ddalton. then yo may try settings -> record settings |
| 00:27:07 | amiconn | hmpf |
| 00:27:17 | mrkiko | ddalton. voice-layer = the set of instructions regulating voice reproduction |
| 00:27:52 | mrkiko | ddalton: The window where you can choose things such as bitrate and so on... |
| 00:28:02 | mrkiko | If you scroll the menu two or three times it will crash... |
| 00:28:06 | rasher | amiconn: share your displeasure - it helps |
| 00:28:47 | ddalton | mrkiko: hmmm I can seem to make it re occur. ill will write you up a patch. It will go really really slow but then you can just see if it still occurs. |
| 00:28:50 | ddalton | Are you blind |
| 00:28:59 | * | ddalton for got the question mark |
| 00:29:30 | amiconn | I need to find the correct init sequence for the small H10's lcd, but the OF puts everything into structures (unlike the apple OF's), hence I can't seem to dig that down :( |
| 00:30:23 | * | ddalton reproduce in the display menu... |
| 00:30:33 | ddalton | I think it is because of the long lang entry. |
| 00:30:33 | mrkiko | ddalton. yes |

| 00:31:15 | ddalton | sdoyon has done a lot more than me though |
| 00:31:56 | ddalton | mrkiko: Well I am going to try with action_none. If that works then I need to figure out how to wait on a button release |
| 00:32:07 | ddalton | actually that doesn't make sense. |
| 00:32:14 | ddalton | they are all button releases... |
| 00:32:22 | ddalton | Unless you hold of course |

| 00:35:54 | ddalton | mrkiko: ok setup your compilers and stuff then |

| 00:41:20 | mrkiko | the problem is that I'm using UMTS - not so fat |
| 00:41:26 | ddalton | mrkiko: this isn't the final way but if we find out it works we know we need to not do anything if there is more than one key press in .5 seconds. |
| 00:41:38 | ddalton | wait I might have a simpler idea |
| 00:42:51 | mrkiko | ddalton: ... |
| 00:43:39 | mrkiko | ddalton. but... if yopu interrupt the voice and press another key, shouldn't the system just start saying the other thing and have no effect? |

| 00:46:22 | ddalton | But I might just put the code in action_none and see what happens. Still need a counter. And will be a long delay. But if it works then we can probably figure it out. |
| 00:46:35 | ddalton | not a counter a bool variable... |
| 00:47:13 | mrkiko | ah... I understood |
| 00:47:15 | ddalton | mrkiko: talk only if there hasn't been a keypress for 0.5 seconds. |

| 01:05:51 | n1s | feindbild: it should be visible in the file browser root as <microSD> iirc |
| 01:06:08 | feindbild | n1s: no =( |
| 01:06:44 | mrkiko | apart blind person: how many of you are interested in including real-tiem speech in rockbox? Would be in your opinion too heavy for an embedded CPU? |
| 01:07:58 | n1s | mrkiko: I think it would be great, an can probably be made fast enough, there is an espeak plugin in the tracker but there are license problems (gpl v3 vs v2) :-/ |
| 01:08:01 | mrkiko | ddalton: when you're back (obviously) can you tell me if you found a trick to turn the player off using the remote controller? It would be very handy but I can't find this info on the manual. |
| 01:08:15 | linuxstb | mrkiko: There's lot of interest in it. There was a Google Summer of Code project, but the student didn't do any work... Plus the plugin n1s just mentioned. |
| 01:09:26 | mrkiko | I seen the plugin in the tracker but, noting no-one is working on it- I was thinking the project to be 'died' |
| 01:09:39 | mrkiko | rockbox is gplv3? |
| 01:09:43 | mrkiko | and espeak v2? |
| 01:09:51 | linuxstb | No, Rockbox is gplv2 |
| 01:10:43 | mrkiko | linuxstb: if I'm not wrong, GPL allows generally you to pick a version of espeak made under gplV2 and use it under this license... |
| 01:11:31 | linuxstb | espeak is gplv3, so we can't use it - unless we went back to an older version before it changed to v3. |
| 01:11:33 | rasher | mrkiko: yeah, the last gplv2 version of espeak can certainly be used |

| 01:14:39 | noztrilz | is the sansa release atmo, a finished/complete release? |

| 01:16:45 | noztrilz | i just got the latest release and data transfer works fine |
| 01:16:58 | noztrilz | is that because its using old sansa firmware |

| 01:25:02 | mrkiko | ddalton. the important thing is to note what's happening... |
| 01:25:04 | ddalton | mrkiko: did you get your environment setup? |
| 01:25:26 | Zagor | ddalton: why do you want that in menu? |
| 01:25:37 | mrkiko | yes |
| 01:25:44 | rasher | noztrilz: http://www.rockbox-themes.org/index.php?res=176x220x16 |
| 01:25:44 | mrkiko | I built rockbox already once now to try it :) |
| 01:26:27 | ddalton | Zagor: well if you tap it once it can be delayed for 0.3 and if you tap it twice it won't talk until no activity for 0.3 s. I guess 0.5 would be to long. |
| 01:26:35 | ddalton | and to stop chrashers |
| 01:26:38 | ddalton | chrashes |
| 01:26:53 | ddalton | mrkiko: it worked? |
| 01:27:28 | rasher | ddalton: The real solution is to find out why it crashes - not to work around it with a nasty hack |
| 01:27:40 | ddalton | rasher: ok. |
| 01:27:59 | mrkiko | ddalton: yes, it worked |
| 01:28:03 | ddalton | I think it is voice been interupted. So with voice off it shouldn't chrash |
| 01:28:15 | ddalton | mrkiko: good. |
| 01:28:35 | rasher | Doesn't voice already work fine with being interrupted before it's done talking? I've never had problems with that in my small tests |
| 01:28:43 | ddalton | rasher: can you try something? |
| 01:28:45 | mrkiko | but I'm getting a little tired - I'm up since 6 AM ... |
| 01:29:08 | ddalton | well it does for long menu items on h300. (A quick key press after another one.) |
| 01:29:18 | rasher | ddalton: if you'd specify "something", I can answer you |
| 01:29:20 | ddalton | button_repeat its fine |

| 01:40:04 | sdoyon | JdGordon: thought to do that tonight actually. Why? |
| 01:40:20 | mrkiko | rasher: no... the problem is not the voice crashing; the entire player go mad :) :) |
| 01:40:27 | JdGordon | because the new list api i put in last night was going to use it, but it isnt in svn yet |
| 01:40:50 | | Quit bertrik ("sleep") |
| 01:41:18 | rasher | mrkiko: my point is that it's not as simple as voice can't handle being interrupted, since that's working just fine on my player. Something more sinister is obviously going on. |
| 01:41:28 | sdoyon | JdGordon: saw the commit log but haven't checked the code yet. |
| 01:41:51 | mrkiko | rasher: yes... |
| 01:42:03 | JdGordon | ok, well if you commit the callback stuff, ill update that new api for it |

| 01:43:50 | ddalton | sdoyon: does your eq patch voice the graphical eq? |
| 01:43:57 | Buschel | hmm, did anyone of you ever get "internal compiler error: in emit_move_insn, at expr.c:3092"? |
| 01:44:09 | rasher | JdGordon: the code that displays and navigates the tagnavi-generated menu. I'm looking for someone to implement the rockbox-side of talking Database |

| 01:44:31 | JdGordon | no, i tinhk i looked at it once |
| 01:44:42 | JdGordon | Slasheri is the man to ask |
| 01:45:25 | JdGordon | where are the talk clips? and how are they linked o a string? |
| 01:45:29 | rasher | Tried that, sounded like he wasn't sure how it worked either. Maybe he just wasn't terribly motivated |
| 01:45:38 | sdoyon | rasher: I'll be glad to look at it of course. |
| 01:45:39 | rasher | JdGordon: A folder in .rockbox, named after the string |
| 01:46:07 | rasher | JdGordon: sanitized to be legal fat-name and truncated to 150 chars if necessary |
| 01:46:30 | markun | mrkiko: another advantage of espeak over flite is that it has support for many languages |
| 01:46:30 | rasher | or 100, I forget what I set it as |
| 01:46:35 | JdGordon | ok |
| 01:46:48 | markun | mrkiko: and it should consume a lot less memory |
| 01:46:55 | JdGordon | sdoyon: is that voice callback patch committable nowish? |
| 01:47:08 | JdGordon | rasher: i dont tihnk what you want is hard to do at all actually.. |
| 01:47:14 | JdGordon | just need to find the right place to put it :) |
| 01:47:16 | rasher | Alternatively, I suppose I could generate a "language clip db", but I think this method works well enough |
| 01:47:25 | ddalton | rasher: does it create .talk clips for artist, album etc |
| 01:47:29 | sdoyon | Ideally this doesn't need to be too specific to the database stuff. If we can just lookup strings in general. Could be useful for other things, like radio presets perhaps. |
| 01:47:31 | rasher | JdGordon: exactly.. and I've personally got absolutely no idea where to look |
| 01:47:33 | rasher | ddalton: yeah |
| 01:47:40 | mrkiko | markun: right |
| 01:47:50 | * | JdGordon having a look-sie for ya |
| 01:47:52 | rasher | sdoyon: sure, and it could replace the current .talk clip method as well |
| 01:47:56 | ddalton | hmmm that could be useful for sdoyon's id3 patch as well. maybe |
| 01:48:00 | sdoyon | JdGordon: re voice callback, yes, shouldn't take too long. |
| 01:48:02 | rasher | if desired |
| 01:48:10 | * | sdoyon goes to get list voice callback committed. |
| 01:48:28 | JdGordon | that callback will make things a bit easier actually |
| 01:48:32 | ddalton | hey sdoyon: did you answer my question? I might of missed your message |
| 01:49:56 | JdGordon | rasher: hows your c? |
| 01:50:22 | * | markun still thinks we don't lose anything by having a LGPL API file to make it possible to have non GPLv2 compatible plugins |
| 01:50:32 | rasher | JdGordon: not so good |
| 01:51:08 | markun | well, we lose something of course: control over licenses people chose |
| 01:51:10 | JdGordon | :) well the functinos you want to edit are ft_play_dirname and ft_play_filename in tree.c |
| 01:51:33 | rasher | JdGordon: that's helpful.. those are called even in Database mode? |
| 01:51:40 | JdGordon | it appears so |
| 01:51:53 | rasher | Then it should be a walk in the park from there |
| 01:52:03 | rasher | Hopefully |
| 01:52:14 | * | mrkiko speaking at the phone |
| 01:52:21 | JdGordon | except it might need to add a param so you can check if its databse or tree |

| 02:03:58 | amiconn | I'd rather stay away from gpl incompatible stuf... |
| 02:04:10 | Nico_P | I've been looking quickly at oscilloscope.c and it doesn't do any of the peak calculation itself... everything is done in the pcm code |
| 02:04:27 | amiconn | ...even though that means I can't port XSkat, even if I would very much like to have a Skat engine in rockbox |
| 02:05:10 | amiconn | Nico_P: It just uses the same data source as the peakmeter, and shows it in a different way |
| 02:05:26 | ddalton | rasher: im on cygwin and my drive is at l:\ for my player and I am using SAPI5. So what should I type to run your script and make the .talk clips for the db? |
| 02:05:44 | amiconn | For swcodec it uses the pcm peak calculation, for hwodec it queries the mas' quasi-peak registers |
| 02:05:46 | Nico_P | amiconn: yes. I'd like to do something a bit fancier |
| 02:06:07 | ddalton | sdoyon: I am half way through voicing the graphical eq. Have you already done this? |
| 02:06:49 | Nico_P | amiconn: do you have an idea what data would be needed to perform a fourier/whatever transform to get a spectrum ? |
| 02:07:05 | Nico_P | ie is pcm_play_dma_get_peak_buffer enough ? |
| 02:07:15 | amiconn | Swcodec - the pcm data. Hwcodec - impossible |
| 02:07:31 | rasher | ddalton: I don't know what config options the sapi engine expects. You'd have to check the configure script (or a Makefile created with it for generating voicefiles with sapi) |
| 02:07:53 | Nico_P | amiconn: I'm doubting this kind of feature would e even wanted on hwcodec anyway ;) |
| 02:08:08 | amiconn | And I think that an fft is too demanding for our cpu, perhaps except the one overkill target |

| 02:08:49 | Nico_P | I think someone told me that |
| 02:09:00 | amiconn | I only know about i(m)dct being in asm |
| 02:09:21 | Nico_P | ah, I probably got confused |
| 02:10:39 | Nico_P | to get a spectrum from PCM data, what's needed is a DCT ? |

| 02:15:28 | JdGordon | I thought it might be scrolling lines, but i dont tihnk so anymore |
| 02:15:44 | kkurbjun | you hacked in something to make it partially work right? |
| 02:16:05 | JdGordon | i changed update_rectangle to just call lcd_update() |
| 02:16:18 | JdGordon | that got the file browser going, but settings still donot show text |
| 02:16:46 | JdGordon | I asked jhMikeS and he though it might be FRAME getting corrupted or something |
| 02:17:21 | kkurbjun | hmm |
| 02:17:34 | kkurbjun | I don't think it's FRAME |
| 02:17:54 | kkurbjun | I would think the screen would completely fail if that was |
| 02:18:04 | JdGordon | yeah |
| 02:18:33 | JdGordon | the wierdest one is the running time screen partially shows text |
| 02:18:50 | JdGordon | it shows the 2 headers, but not the 2 dynamic lines |
| 02:19:29 | JdGordon | unless the lines are changing too fast for the lcd? |
| 02:19:53 | kkurbjun | there is a controller that handles the LCD updates |
| 02:19:53 | JdGordon | the disk info debug screen works (completly static info), but the stacks screen doesnt (completly dynamic) |
| 02:20:02 | rasher | JdGordon: only 10 more lists to go before your addition cancels out |
| 02:20:22 | kkurbjun | as long as it's written to the right location it would show |
| 02:20:33 | JdGordon | rasher: 10? 6 |
| 02:20:39 | kkurbjun | it's similar to the gigabeat screen update |
| 02:20:42 | rasher | JdGordon: Depends on the target, really |

| 02:38:05 | amiconn | For the second table, the numbers indicate how much bytes the binary size increased (positive numbers, cell turns red), or decreased (negative numbers, cell turns green). No change or minimal change gets no special colour |
| 02:38:12 | scorche | J3TC-: likely vmware |
| 02:38:24 | J3TC- | Cool, thanks. |
| 02:38:26 | sdoyon | amiconn: well, now that I'm looking at the right page, it'll help :-). |
| 02:38:35 | rasher | J3TC-: vmware is probably easiest to setup, but not as easy to work with as cygwin |
| 02:39:26 | sdoyon | amiconn: Table is rather wide, and shouldn't it show the svn rev for which it's building? |
| 02:39:56 | amiconn | It only shows a time stamp |

| 02:40:35 | kkurbjun | JdGordon: strange, that doesn't work at all for me |
| 02:40:39 | amiconn | Maybe it could also show the svn rev; just notice that the builds are not necessarily in consecutive svn rev order |
| 02:40:59 | nave7693 | J3TC-: I have compiled in cygwin before |
| 02:41:03 | JdGordon | kkurbjun: can you see folders or nothing? |
| 02:41:04 | nave7693 | J3TC-: vmware is overkill |
| 02:41:20 | amiconn | Some commits won't trigger rebuilds, e.g. commits to the manual or to rbutil, as those don't change actual rockbox code |
| 02:41:22 | kkurbjun | nothing worked at all |
| 02:41:32 | J3TC- | What do you mean overkill? |
| 02:41:46 | nave7693 | J3TC-: installing linux to just compile the firmware is overkill |
| 02:41:57 | amiconn | Also, if you do several commits while a build is currently running, all those commits will be included in the next rbuild round |

| 02:42:53 | amiconn | sdoyon: Build table is looking good so far regarding your last commits. First one caused an overall size increase, but the others decreased size again |

| 02:43:45 | rasher | nave7693: if you're setting up a dev environment, I assume you're not going to just compile Rockbox without modifying anything, so the current builds are not interesting in that case |
| 02:44:10 | JdGordon | kkurbjun: hmm.. it waasnt that. i removed the lcd_updae() line and the broser still works |
| 02:44:37 | nave7693 | J3TC-: alright if you want to do dev work that's a different story |
| 02:44:43 | * | amiconn thinks that JdGordon should get a new keyoar ;) |
| 02:45:11 | rasher | nave7693: why would you setup a compiler if you don't want to do dev work? |
| 02:45:13 | JdGordon | yeah, probably :p |

| 02:47:44 | J3TC- | nave: nah, I just want to apply patches and build |
| 02:47:56 | ddalton | can someone tell me what the four options you can change in the graphical eq are? |
| 02:48:08 | J3TC- | So vmware is too much for that or a better option for that? |
| 02:49:06 | scorche | J3TC-: no...vmware is fine if you want something easy to set up and fast (it just occupies a larger footprint on disk and takes a bit more resources) |
| 02:49:34 | J3TC- | Hrmm |
| 02:49:42 | J3TC- | Anything less than 500mb is fine :3 |
| 02:49:52 | J3TC- | I'm planning on installing this on a laptop |
| 02:50:17 | rasher | I think you'll struggle to fit any of the options in 500mb, to be honest |
| 02:50:23 | J3TC- | Or I guess I can install it my other computer and just run it there and d/l the ~2mb build |
| 02:50:33 | J3TC- | Wow..really...that big, huh? |
| 02:51:28 | scorche | if you are that constrained, i would go with cygwin |
| 02:51:41 | ddalton | rasher: in the graphical eq, do you know what the four options are when you press up and down? |
| 02:51:48 | J3TC- | Well, I guess I can go with cygwin. |
| 02:51:53 | J3TC- | I mean how harder can it be? >_> |
| 02:51:59 | ddalton | I can't seem to figure it out in the code. But I think I can voice the db stuff. |
| 02:52:22 | rasher | ddalton: I already told you. There are five, and they're bands in the equalizer - the exact same that are in the "advanced equalizer settings" menu |
| 02:52:41 | ddalton | ok thanks. But it only goes up to four... |
| 02:52:48 | ddalton | doesn't it in the code? |
| 02:53:11 | rasher | No idea. |
| 02:53:51 | ddalton | oh it starts at 0 |
| 02:53:59 | ddalton | not 1 |
| 02:55:14 | rasher | Still, what's the point in voicing the graphical eq? It works almost exactly the same way as the menu, with only very minor differences in keypresses. The only advantage to sighted users, I think, is that it's all visible on the screen at once. |
| 02:56:21 | ddalton | well I am just about done so might as well finish it. And it is quicker to get to isn't it from the wps? |

| 02:58:44 | rasher | sdoyon: I'm basically figuring out what needs to be done for .talk clips to work in the database browser. It seems that currently it looks for directory clips in /menuentry/_dirname.talk I need to modify this a bit so it would look somewhere saner where I could put talk clips generated by a perl script. |
| 02:59:14 | pixelma | ddalton: in the graphical eq screen the maximum I would voice is the current option you are on, not the values because I think you need to hear the changes to the sound (just my thought when I read that, not knowing what you have planned) |
| 03:00 |
| 03:00:28 | rasher | sdoyon: This I can handle, but the problem comes when file or directory names are compounds of different tags. It's hard to generate a clip for that based on the database files. I would have hoped I'd be able to voice each part separately, but those parts are not available in tree_voice_cb - only the filename |
| 03:00:42 | | Quit Buschel () |
| 03:01:06 | JdGordon | rasher: i dont tihnk you need to voice each bit of the db |
| 03:01:13 | JdGordon | its the same as going down a dir tree... |
| 03:01:18 | JdGordon | you know where you came from |
| 03:01:21 | ddalton | pixelma: ok well im still trying to figure out how to voice those options and make it keep up with the voice. |

| 03:01:43 | ddalton | pixelma: do you know if there is peek 1? or is there just peek filter? |
| 03:01:48 | rasher | JdGordon: but how about this: Playing file thumbnail: //02. Spacelab - 06:02.talk |
| 03:01:59 | sdoyon | rasher: compounds of multiple tags? How is that? |
| 03:02:05 | rasher | JdGordon: I'd only have a talk clip for "Spacelab" in that case |

| 03:07:01 | rasher | sdoyon: I actually don't know much about the tagnavi syntax, but I imagine directory names could also be made up of multiple tags. For example an albumname with the release year added to the end. |
| 03:07:50 | sdoyon | JdGordon: Right, except you need to call gui_synclist_speak_item(), usually in the same place as gui_synclist_draw() gets called, such as on entering the list. |
| 03:08:47 | sdoyon | Uhm... I guess I was naive, but what is tagnavi syntax? |
| 03:09:01 | JdGordon | its horrible :D |
| 03:09:05 | rasher | sdoyon: it's the config file used for generating the Database menu tree. |
| 03:09:54 | sdoyon | rasher: I haven't mde more than short visits into the database as you can probably tell. Where's that config file? |
| 03:10:06 | rasher | sdoyon: I think the tree_voice_cb in the case where it's called from the Database instead of trying to play the talk clip using the same mechanism, should ask the Database somehow which "parts" the currently selected item is made up of, and voice them |
| 03:10:27 | rasher | sdoyon: it's in .rockbox/tagnavi.config |

| 03:12:28 | ddalton | JdGordon: ok so what am I looking for? a function variable? |
| 03:12:29 | rasher | sdoyon: It's either that, or I need to implement the whole thing in the clip generation script, and I really don't think that's the simpler solution, to be honest. Especially since some of the values such as playcount and rating are dynamic (and should be voiced using the function to speak numbers) |

| 03:45:35 | ddalton | sdoyon: it has void pcmbuf_beep(unsigned int frequency, size_t duration, int amplitude); so will this do? pcmbuf_beep (22, 100, 10); |

| 03:54:37 | ddalton | could i write pcmbuf_beep(5000, 100, 2500*5); |
| 03:54:47 | ddalton | it is from playback.c and the original function thing is |

| 03:55:05 | rasher | Why don't you use global_settings.beep as well? |

| 04:19:08 | mirak | hi |
| 04:19:28 | rasher | sdoyon: you mean to speak "compound" entries? Just having the strings delimited should work |
| 04:19:57 | rasher | sdoyon: actually not quite, now that I think of it. We need to know if it's a numeric value, a time value or a string |
| 04:20:28 | rasher | strings should be checked in the /talkclips/ dir, numbers and time should be voiced using the voicefile |
| 04:20:47 | rasher | Again, this seems like quite a bit of work |
| 04:20:58 | sdoyon | rasher: Yes I already meant to parse numeric strings. What does a time string look like? |
| 04:21:13 | sdoyon | rasher: probably not all that much actually. |
| 04:21:44 | rasher | sdoyon: I'm not sure, but I believe Rockbox has functions for outputting time - that should be used, so it says "4 minutes 2 seconds" rather than "four colon zero two" |
| 04:22:51 | rasher | I presume (and hope) that value is internally kept in seconds (or milliseconds), and only formatted at the very last stage when putting it in the dirbrowser list |
| 04:23:02 | sdoyon | rasher: it does, but they take a parameter in seconds or milliseconds, so we just need to parse that. |
| 04:23:30 | rasher | sdoyon: My hope is that we'd be able to get it from the database part as seconds, rather than the formatted string |
| 04:23:40 | rasher | And when I say we - I mean you. |
| 04:25:32 | ddalton | sdoyon: Thanks for your update to p7910 |

| 04:29:29 | rasher | However, the formatting strings used in tagnavi are Lm and Ls - time in minutes and time in seconds (the remainder) |

| 04:29:49 | | Join miepchen^schlaf [0] (n=hihi@p54BF58CE.dip.t-dialin.net) |
| 04:29:59 | rasher | Still, that could just be voiced as Lm "minutes" Ls "seconds" |
| 04:32:25 | rasher | Which is somewhat nasty, I guess. |
| 04:33:19 | rasher | There will also almost certainly always be a colon between them that shouldn't be voiced I guess |
| 04:34:34 | sdoyon | AFAICT the format substitution happens in format_str(), called from retrieve_entries(). Looks like that's prepared ahead of time though. |
| 04:35:14 | sdoyon | tagtree_get_entry() calls etrieve_entries() if realid >= current_entry_count ... I wonder when that is...? |
| 04:35:34 | rasher | No clue |
| 04:35:52 | ddalton | sdoyon: do you think a single beep for plugging the charger and removing it is ok? |
| 04:36:08 | ddalton | because most people know if they are plugging the charger in or removing it :-) |
| 04:36:11 | rasher | ddalton: I don't see why it should beep if beeping is disabled? |
| 04:36:29 | ddalton | rasher: because it has nothing to do with playback |
| 04:36:49 | sdoyon | OTOH it should depend on some other setting, perhaps talking menus for now. |
| 04:36:57 | rasher | Then I think that setting should be moved out of playback |
| 04:37:34 | rasher | I guess a "blind-user friendly beeps" option could be added |
| 04:37:37 | sdoyon | That might make sense too. But it might end up used in a lot of unrelated places. I have a beep in the keyboard now. |
| 04:38:24 | * | ddalton wow its getting hot here |
| 04:38:34 | sdoyon | I had a patch to play a short sequence of beeps to form a little tune/song. Makes it more informative. Never really used it though. |
| 04:39:02 | ddalton | how would you play a double beep? just put the two functions after each other? |
| 04:39:12 | ddalton | not that im going to just wondering |
| 04:39:38 | ddalton | I will make it depend on talking menus |
| 04:39:51 | ddalton | but what if I want it to beep for my charger not playback? |
| 04:39:52 | rasher | It's make sense to use two beeps in increasing frequency when plugging the charger, and decreasing when unplugging |
| 04:39:53 | sdoyon | I'm not sure actually, it's been months since I looked at beep mixing. |
| 04:39:55 | ddalton | rasher? |
| 04:41:35 | sdoyon | In general, beep tunes like this are nice because they are shorter to listen to than a voice msg, and you don't need to interpret speech. It's faster, and also less disturbing if the player is playing a book or podcast. |
| 04:42:12 | sdoyon | An alternative would be brief .talk clips with sound effects in them instead of speech. I used to have one for LANG_WAIT that sounded good. |
| 04:42:13 | | Quit kugel ("Benutzer ist abwesend.") |
| 04:50:18 | ddalton | sdoyon: done. What do you think of my last two patches? |
| 04:50:33 | ddalton | p7910 and p8006 |
| 04:52:42 | sdoyon | rasher: I imagine there must be a good reason to prepare the strings ahead of time. Who did you say knows this tagtree stuff? |
| 04:52:58 | rasher | sdoyon: Slasheri and no one else, I think |
| 04:54:00 | ddalton | sdoyon: what doesn't talk yet in the rb core? |
| 04:54:29 | scorche | rasher: bad bus factor =/ |
| 04:55:01 | sdoyon | rasher: Perhaps format_str can be hacked to add delimiters in the output string. Those will probably need to be taken out before trying to display the text. It leaves us with parsing numbers and time. I'll probably have to parse nubmers anyway at some point. |
| 04:55:56 | | Nick JRoT|koken is now known as JRoT (n=JRoT@ip4da03737.direct-adsl.nl) |
| 04:55:59 | sdoyon | rasher: Otherwise we'd need to store appropriate talk ids along with the name. But we'll have a sequence of talk IDs and clip names. Not sure how to represent that efficiently. |

| 04:57:59 | rasher | sdoyon: That might work. Perhaps it could add a delimiter and a type-indicator |
| 04:58:19 | rasher | It seems a bit hackish though |
| 04:58:51 | sdoyon | rasher: Yes. To both comments :-). |

| 05:23:12 | ddalton | can someone commit a very small patch for me? |
| 05:25:10 | rasher | You're not going to get anyone to say yes without saying what it is.. |
| 05:25:48 | ddalton | rasher: it is a patch that beeps when a charger is removed or plugged in. |
| 05:26:09 | ddalton | good for telling if it is actually charging and there is power running to the player... |
| 05:27:43 | rasher | ddalton: I don't think it should depend on talk_menu. Personally I'd rather see a couple more of those beeps-that-blind-users-want grouped together, and a new beep option for those. |
| 05:30:02 | ddalton | rasher: there aren't enough times you would use a beep |
| 05:30:07 | ddalton | for that sort of ting |
| 05:30:30 | rasher | sdoyon mentioned the vkeyboard for one |
| 05:31:05 | ddalton | so if I write up a quick patch to do this will it be likely someone will except it? |
| 05:31:20 | rasher | I don't know |
| 05:31:28 | rasher | That was just my opinion about it |
| 05:31:46 | ddalton | rasher should that setting be under "voice"? |
| 05:32:20 | rasher | That's what I'm thinking, yes, even though it's not actually voice, but it would belong with those settings |
| 05:33:22 | rasher | Again, it's just my own take on it - and I don't know if anyone else agrees. Finally, I'm not going to commit it because I don't feel comfortable adding it without any other input |
| 05:34:08 | ddalton | Ok I will write one up and see what people think/say... |

| 06:14:07 | Reno | Me and my friend tried are best |
| 06:15:20 | emeraldd | I just spotted an odd check in the bookmark/playlist code, is there anyway for playlist_get_resume_info to return -1? The only return I see in the function is explicitly 0 |
| 06:16:14 | Reno | I have a question i created some backdrops in photoshop for my ipod and they work and all but when i turn off my ipod and turn it on again it goes back to the original image? why? |
| 06:17:24 | rasher | Reno: Because you failed to read the manual: http://download.rockbox.org/manual/rockbox-ipodvideo/rockbox-buildch10.html#x13-22000010.1.5 |
| 06:18:17 | rasher | I believe this limitation could and should be fixed though |
| 06:18:38 | Reno | okay thanks but can you please just tell me this? Is it possible to load different backdrops on my ipod and keep therm that way even if i shut it off? |
| 06:19:01 | rasher | Yes. |
| 06:19:13 | Reno | i'm gonna read the manual again anyways. thank you |
| 06:19:26 | rasher | Well, the link I pointed you at explains it. |
| 06:19:48 | Reno | and...i'm really sorry abot not being able to get you guy's the ipod classic data sheets. |

| 06:27:36 | safetydan | Reno, compile your own build is about the only way |
| 06:29:12 | psycho_maniac | why is car audio mode under system? |
| 06:29:24 | Reno | what do you mean compile? |
| 06:29:49 | ddalton | Reno: compile from source... |
| 06:29:59 | ddalton | psycho_maniac: why not? |
| 06:30:13 | Reno | i've never really understood what that means. i even read it here in this site explaining what it is and i still dont really understand it? |
| 06:30:50 | psycho_maniac | im just curious. i have an idea of a place it should be but i want to hear a reason why it was put in system. |
| 06:31:14 | ddalton | where do you want it? |
| 06:31:37 | psycho_maniac | well i went to change it and thought. it has to do woth play/pause so i figured it would be in playback. |
| 06:31:53 | ddalton | Reno: well then I doubt you will have much luck with compiling. Basically setup your environment and then run configure then compile |
| 06:32:04 | ddalton | of course you need the source |
| 06:32:22 | ddalton | psycho_maniac: ok can you program? |
| 06:32:56 | psycho_maniac | nope. like i said i dont DEMAND this i want to know the reason why it was put in system. |
| 06:33:27 | Reno | 2 questions: 1. is compiling hard? 2. what do you mean source? |
| 06:33:28 | ddalton | ok I don't know |
| 06:33:36 | ddalton | but move it if you don't like it :-) |
| 06:33:49 | ddalton | the source code. |
| 06:34:09 | ddalton | depends if you can program or if you have done any of this before... |
| 06:34:20 | ddalton | people who can't program can still compile |
| 06:34:33 | psycho_maniac | i guess theres only 3 people in here so i dont know if anymore people like this idea. its just a discussion. |
| 06:34:38 | Reno | do you you guy's have any toturial videos on youtube or something? |
| 06:34:49 | safetydan | Reno, there's a guide to compiling on the wiki |
| 06:34:50 | psycho_maniac | just look in the wiki |
| 06:34:52 | ddalton | psycho_maniac: how is a reason going to help? do you want me to write you a patch later? |
| 06:35:41 | psycho_maniac | no |
| 06:35:45 | Reno | i'm sorry but like i said i've read that wiki and....no luck...i suck! =( |
| 06:36:17 | psycho_maniac | aparently you didnt because i read it with no clue what i was getting into and i now compile my own builds |
| 06:36:21 | ddalton | Reno: well what don't you understand |
| 06:36:36 | ddalton | it isn't to complicated |
| 06:37:54 | Mouser_X | Reno: When people write a software program, they (usually) write it using some form of text. The document that is created is refered to as the "source." |
| 06:38:39 | Mouser_X | With a compiler, it can take that source, and "translate" (loose term. It's not exactly correct) it into an executable. |
| 06:39:32 | Reno | uuummm....pretty much everything....can you guys give me a link to that guide again please so i can read it just one more time and see if i understand any of it this timer please? |

| 06:40:08 | Mouser_X | No, there's not. |
| 06:40:15 | Mouser_X | You have to modify the source code. |
| 06:40:20 | Mouser_X | Which you don't have yet. |
| 06:40:21 | Reno | ok thanks anyway! =) |
| 06:40:48 | ddalton | it compiles the source to an executable code that can run |
| 06:41:04 | ddalton | so from human readable language to machine language... |
| 06:41:10 | Reno | ok. seriously maybe that is what i dont understand. where do you get this "source Code"? |
| 06:41:27 | Mouser_X | That page I linked tells you how, and where, to get the source code. |
| 06:41:42 | Mouser_X | (How is the hard part.) |
| 06:42:13 | psycho_maniac | if you can double click on a exe, extract an 7zip file and do "/run command" commands. you can do it |
| 06:42:33 | kkurbjun | JdGordon: I do have a rotated screen option, but it's noticeably slower with data and code cache disabled and I havn't done the partial updates with lcd_update_rect. |
| 06:43:05 | Mouser_X | psycho_maniac, Reno: Perhaps, more specifically, setting it up to *do* the "how" is the hard part. |
| 06:43:30 | Mouser_X | Though, with the VMware image, it's much much easier. |
| 06:43:46 | psycho_maniac | yes. thats what i was refering to . |
| 06:43:47 | Mouser_X | (Though, I've never been able to get that to run in a useable way...) |

| 06:44:25 | Mouser_X | scorche: I don't know. It killed my PC when I tried to run it. |
| 06:44:35 | scorche | Mouser_X: define kill |
| 06:44:39 | Mouser_X | It made it horribly horribly slow. |

| 06:46:16 | Galois | that's not enough ram to usefully run vmware these days |

| 06:47:25 | scorche | Mouser_X: did you lower the ram line in the vmx file? |
| 06:47:34 | Galois | maybe if you use outdated host and guest OSes like redhat 9 or windows xp, then it is |
| 06:47:36 | Galois | otherwise it's not |
| 06:47:41 | emeraldd | scorche: I was thinking the page had child pages |
| 06:47:50 | Mouser_X | I'll say no (because I almost certainly didn't) because I don't know what a VMX file is. |
| 06:47:51 | emeraldd | wget -np -m usually does the trick for me |
| 06:48:30 | scorche | Mouser_X: it is the vmware configuration file that is used with the image |
| 06:48:38 | Mouser_X | Ah. |
| 06:48:55 | Reno | how do i save the page to a file? |

| 06:50:12 | Mouser_X | Well, when I get my PC running again (I need a new power supply), I'll try that out, and see how it goes. |
| 06:50:55 | scorche | Reno: keep in mind that you will need to save an archive of the souce and cant use svn to get teh source, as your laptop lacks a network connection |
| 06:51:55 | Reno | i use windows vista on my laptop can i compile and stuff there? |
| 06:52:50 | Mouser_X | Reno: Yes, I think all the software you need (be it VMware, or cygwin) should run under Vista (though, I'm not certain on that). |
| 06:52:53 | Reno | when i right click it says save page as... |
| 06:53:18 | Mouser_X | So use that option. |

| 08:26:36 | JdGordon | amiconn: the best type ! |
| 08:27:19 | Mouser_X | :P |
| 08:27:53 | amiconn | It should become smaller on SH1 and also probably on arm if you limit the number of parameters to simplelist_info_init() to 4 |
| 08:27:57 | * | JdGordon doesnt know why that commit increased bin size though... i would have thought it would shrink it |
| 08:28:02 | amiconn | (right now there are 5) |
| 08:28:11 | JdGordon | ok, ill remove one |
| 08:28:33 | JdGordon | any idea why he ondio fm size didnt change though? |
| 08:28:49 | JdGordon | or just becasue the previous build was larger than it should have been? |
| 08:28:58 | amiconn | Because it is biased by the build server hopping |
| 08:29:06 | amiconn | yes |
| 08:30:13 | amiconn | The callback data pointer is often NULL, and it would make sense to drop that and just init it to NULL afaics, since the callback function itself is also just inited to NULL by default |
| 08:30:57 | JdGordon | i was going to drop the selection size one which is used even less often than the callback data |
| 08:31:18 | amiconn | I wonder whether reverting that commit and using designated initializers in the calling functions would be even better... |
| 08:31:36 | JdGordon | ? |
| 08:32:02 | amiconn | I mean, remove the init function, and use: |
| 08:34:05 | amiconn | struct simplelist_info { [title] = "Database Info", [count] = 7, [selection_size] = 1, [database_callback] = database_callback, [hide_selection] = true } info; |
| 08:34:21 | amiconn | Of course brokenn into one line per value |
| 08:34:36 | JdGordon | well.. that commit was really to simplify it more than to shrink bin size |
| 08:35:00 | JdGordon | back in 10min |
| 08:36:13 | amiconn | The advantage of that form of initializer is that members without explicit assignment are automatically initialized to zero |
| 08:36:26 | amiconn | http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc-3.4.6/gcc/Designated-Inits.html#Designated-Inits |
| 08:37:09 | amiconn | Eh, sorry, the example wasn't correct for a struct. Should of course be: |
| 08:37:55 | amiconn | struct simplelist_info { .title = "Database Info", .count = 7, .selection_size = 1, .database_callback = database_callback, .hide_selection = true } info |
| 08:38:07 | * | amiconn confused it with the array form |
| 08:38:21 | JdGordon | yeah, i thought the [] form looked wrong... |
| 08:38:31 | JdGordon | but that way is still more work for the coder |
| 08:38:36 | amiconn | ? |
| 08:38:52 | amiconn | YOu don't need to list all the elements that should be NULL or 0 |
| 08:39:55 | JdGordon | also, 1) imho that looks more messy than explicilty initing every member, and 2) 0/NULL isnt a same default for all the members |
| 08:43:04 | amiconn | I didn't say it'd be a sane default. But several members are NULL / 0 in the places you converted. |
| 08:43:50 | amiconn | It was just a thought to reduce the writing in the caller without having an init function |
| 08:43:58 | JdGordon | amiconn: changing topics... on the mrobe some lists work fine, but some everything is displayed except the item texts (tilte, statusbar, icons and scroll bar all show). any idea what function could be broken to cause that? |
| 08:44:12 | JdGordon | ive rmeoved one param, we'll see what the delat is |
| 08:46:52 | amiconn | The m:robe uises standard lcd-16bit.c? |
| 08:46:57 | JdGordon | yeah |
| 08:47:17 | JdGordon | and there doesnt appear to be anything wrong with lcd_update() and lcd_update_rect() |
| 08:49:36 | amiconn | And text output works in other places? |

| 08:49:59 | JdGordon | yeah, no problem displaying text in the menus and in credits.rock |
| 08:50:11 | JdGordon | but in the setting screens the text isnt shown |
| 08:50:35 | JdGordon | and in the fonts/config/wps/etc browsers no text, but icons are ok |
| 08:50:42 | JdGordon | and its fine in the regular file/db browser |
| 08:51:24 | amiconn | These are the very same browsers... |
| 08:51:52 | JdGordon | i know... |
| 08:51:56 | JdGordon | it doesnt make sense to me |
| 08:51:58 | amiconn | What kind of lcd hookup does the m:robe have? |
| 08:52:22 | JdGordon | umm... i dont know |
| 08:53:18 | amiconn | Well, you said that lcd_update[_rect]() is ok, so how would you know that? |
| 08:53:32 | JdGordon | because calling it displays the change fine |
| 08:54:53 | amiconn | LCD is memory mapped like gigabeat and e200 afaics |
| 08:55:18 | amiconn | So I'm almost sure it's a caching issue in lcd_update[_rect]() |
| 08:56:01 | JdGordon | ok, so any suggestions on how to try and fix it? |
| 08:56:14 | kkurbjun | amiconn, I believe that data and instruction cache are disabled right now |

| 09:21:13 | stevenm | Hello. I am trying to debug a memory corruption within a plugin using GDB. I have a pointer that is being overwritten somewhere. Is there a way to determine where? I tried to just 'watch' that structure but it didn't do anything. Am I missing something? |
| 09:23:30 | JdGordon | kkurbjun: all those lists and browsers are drawn by the list which eventaully calls gui_textarea_update() which calls display->update_rect(0, y_start, display->width, y_end - y_start); |
| 09:23:39 | JdGordon | there is no reason why some should work and some shouldnt? |
| 09:24:49 | kkurbjun | so they are all full width updates.. |
| 09:25:05 | | Quit ToHellWithGA (Remote closed the connection) |
| 09:25:31 | kkurbjun | I'm really not sure, that assemble that's in the loader should be disabling the data cache |
| 09:25:41 | kkurbjun | and the MMU is disabled |
| 09:26:23 | kkurbjun | I'm looking through it now |
| 09:26:37 | kkurbjun | and it looks correct from what I can see |
| 09:26:44 | JdGordon | can he FRAME be moved to somewhere which definatly isnt cached? |
| 09:26:48 | kkurbjun | the instruction cache is enabled |
| 09:28:00 | kkurbjun | you could move it wherever, but the MMU on this system determines if different addresses are cached or not from my understanding, and it is disabled.. |

| 09:37:24 | JdGordon | or the mmu is being enabled accidnently? |

| 09:59:09 | JdGordon | it needs to? |
| 09:59:16 | amiconn | hmm |
| 09:59:17 | Slasheri | that is necessary to make the tagcache debug screen show the last accessed file synchronously with tagcache |

| 10:26:36 | amiconn | stevenm: yes, sortof |
| 10:26:56 | stevenm | amiconn, I hear you know how to use GDB and am in need of help. |
| 10:27:13 | stevenm | amiconn, is there any special procedure to using 'watch' on the Simulator? |
| 10:28:00 | stevenm | amiconn, I gdb rockboxui, set a break within my plugin, then watch my variable. But the watchpoint is never tripped |
| 10:29:26 | stevenm | amiconn, do you have any idea why this could be? |
| 10:30:02 | amiconn | I have no idea. I sometimes use gdb, but when I do, it feels cumbersome |
| 10:30:19 | amiconn | I never used watchpoints in gdb yet |
| 10:30:40 | stevenm | amiconn, well, I have something overwriting a variable that shouldn't be overwritten. How would you go about debugging this? |
| 10:30:43 | amiconn | Breakpoints do work, also in plugins, if you let it load the symbols |
| 10:31:22 | stevenm | amiconn, at one point the pointer points to legitimate memory, then it points somewhere way out to space. Nothing every writes it besides the initial allocation. |
| 10:31:48 | amiconn | If all else fails, I would do this on a coldfire target, with the 'catch mem accesses' feature hand-tweaked to trigger on the access |
| 10:32:20 | stevenm | amiconn, what do you mean? how can I do that? |
| 10:33:25 | stevenm | amiconn, does it take in a pointer? I don't even know if the variable being overwritten on the sim is the same one as on the target |
| 10:34:04 | | Part pixelma |
| 10:34:13 | stevenm | HAHAHAHA. This is new. When I try to select 'Catch Mem Accesses' on H300, it locks up when I hilight View IO Ports |
| 10:35:12 | amiconn | The coldfire has some realtime debug support. It can trigger a special interrupt based on access masks (address, address mask bits and access mask bits) |
| 10:35:27 | stevenm | amiconn, yeah........ once in the Debug menu, pressing Up or Down scrolls the cursor once and then locks up the device. Tried resetting it. This is the fifth time |
| 10:36:25 | amiconn | The 'Catch mem accesses' feature uses this to trigger on accesses to 0x00........ on coldfire, which e.g. triggers on NULL pointer accesses (also with an offset, e.g. accessing struct members) |
| 10:37:35 | stevenm | Hmm. I suppose it would work. GDB seems like it should be working, but isn't. |

| 10:38:05 | stevenm | The UI locks up the second I enter the Debug menu |
| 10:38:15 | stevenm | (on the target) |
| 10:38:15 | ddalton | amiconn: what files would need to be rewritten so we could play a beep in recording? |
| 10:38:20 | Slasheri | on H100, it immediately panics when i try to scroll the debug menu |
| 10:38:26 | amiconn | Then I changed the programming of that feature to trigger on the overwritten variable instead of the zero area |
| 10:38:41 | Slasheri | maybe it has something to do with logf, already fixed a few bugs with that |
| 10:38:47 | Slasheri | trying on simulator now |
| 10:38:54 | amiconn | Slasheri: Then the debug menu does something nasty |
| 10:38:58 | Slasheri | indeed |
| 10:39:28 | amiconn | Basically, if no uninitialized pointer accesses or similar nasty stuff happens, enabling this feature shouldn't be noticeable |
| 10:39:48 | amiconn | stevenm: ...and I found it. An array access was ot of bounds.... |
| 10:39:58 | stevenm | yay |
| 10:40:35 | amiconn | Having e.g. int a[4]; .... a[4] = lol; is a bad idea, isn't it? |
| 10:40:53 | Slasheri | where did you find that? |
| 10:41:07 | amiconn | In some plugin, months ago |
| 10:41:13 | Slasheri | ah |
| 10:41:25 | amiconn | Also, this problem only manifested on archos, although it was wrong for all targets |
| 10:41:40 | amiconn | Archos crashed, probably because of the order of variables in memory |
| 10:42:01 | amiconn | On SH1 we also have that 'Catch mem accesses' feature, but not on arm |
| 10:42:25 | Slasheri | there was also some wierd stuff with cpu boost logging, two methods are called that should return a pointer to a str but actually doesn't have any return in them |
| 10:42:56 | amiconn | STrange... no problems with 'Catch mem accesses' enabled on my X5 |
| 10:43:00 | amiconn | ...in the debug menu |
| 10:43:15 | Slasheri | ok, it's probably a logf related then |
| 10:43:18 | amiconn | But I don't have the latest revision installed |
| 10:43:36 | Slasheri | even without catch mem accesses, there is immediately a kernel panic |

| 10:56:12 | jhMikeS | #if NUM_CORES > 1 |
| 10:56:41 | jhMikeS | in any case it should be there :) |
| 10:57:39 | amiconn | building... |
| 11:00 |
| 11:01:20 | amiconn | (will take a while) |
| 11:01:32 | jhMikeS | takes that long just to make bin? |
| 11:02:00 | amiconn | I am doing a full rebuild to make sure. |
| 11:02:32 | amiconn | A different question: How would you proceed if you need to find the lcd init sequence for the H10 in rom or OF.bin? |
| 11:03:04 | jhMikeS | I think I did already...would need to find it again |
| 11:03:21 | amiconn | It looks like the lcd driver uses structs all over; I was able to find some places where this struct is initialized, but not where the functions are which actually use it |
| 11:03:33 | jhMikeS | somewhere searching for lcd-related regs got me there (or parts of addresses) |
| 11:03:57 | | Quit bertrik ("booting to linux") |
| 11:03:58 | amiconn | I need the lcd register parameters for the small h10 so I can implement lcd on/off etc |
| 11:04:32 | amiconn | I already have a datasheet for that at lists the registers for TL1771 and their relevant bits |
| 11:04:41 | amiconn | s/at/at least/ |
| 11:05:32 | amiconn | ..and I also know the correct R_ENTRY_MODE bits so I could implement asm'ized lcd_yuv_blit() right away |
| 11:06:09 | amiconn | Ideally we can also find where 0x70008a00 and 0x70008a04 are written, in order to find out what the bits mean |
| 11:06:19 | jhMikeS | ASM optimizing week? there's been a flurry of codec/lcd optimizing recently. |
| 11:06:43 | amiconn | Setup for small H10, big H10, Nano and Color in these regs is all different |
| 11:07:15 | amiconn | small H10 and Nano run the block controller at nearly optimal speed when boosted (but could go faster when not boosted) |
| 11:07:16 | jhMikeS | I did stuff like searching all instances of 0x70000000 throughout with a simple objdump |
| 11:07:27 | amiconn | Color runs it too slow - could go much faster |
| 11:08:03 | amiconn | jhMikeS: I found several places where 0x70008a00 is put into a struct - but I have no idea how to find out where this struct is used |
| 11:08:31 | amiconn | ...since the functions which write to this struct get the address passed from somewhere else |
| 11:08:32 | jhMikeS | could be dynamically allocated |
| 11:08:42 | amiconn | yes |
| 11:08:57 | amiconn | So how could I figure this out? |
| 11:09:21 | amiconn | I guess an emulator would help - but the existing emu is for sansa, and I have no MSVC to poke on it |
| 11:09:30 | jhMikeS | I can't find a formula except to find code that looks like it writes to such a struct. |
| 11:09:40 | amiconn | ...and no experience at all with emulator coding |
| 11:09:42 | jhMikeS | you can download MSVC |
| 11:10:04 | jhMikeS | The basic one is free and compiles the emu |
| 11:10:07 | amiconn | Yes, the 2005 express version - which reportedly doesn't work for compiling the emu |
| 11:10:16 | amiconn | At least the fs task says so |
| 11:10:19 | jhMikeS | Well, I'm using it...so it must :) |
| 11:10:31 | jhMikeS | You also need the Platform SDK |

| 11:15:05 | jhMikeS | though it has been used for c200 so I don't know if that helps at all |
| 11:15:17 | amiconn | Unfortunately it doesn't |
| 11:15:29 | jhMikeS | my version has fixed threading as well so it shuts down properly |
| 11:15:53 | jhMikeS | it will otherwise won't terminate at all |
| 11:16:14 | amiconn | c200 is flash based too, i.e. ata isn't needed, and the lcd is hooked to the mono bridge, not the colour bridge |
| 11:16:37 | jhMikeS | mono bridge? I thought it was a color target. |
| 11:16:47 | amiconn | Yes it is, yet it uses the mono bridge |
| 11:17:07 | amiconn | (the one at 0x70003000 which is much simpler and slower than the one at 0x70008a00) |

| 11:17:51 | ddalton | jhMikeS: what code is executed while recording? |
| 11:18:06 | jhMikeS | ddalton: that's one huge list of code! |
| 11:18:07 | amiconn | jhMikeS: YOur fix is working :) |
| 11:18:32 | jhMikeS | amiconn: I though it might be that. interrupt would've stayed disabled until the next processor sleep. |
| 11:19:00 | amiconn | Shall I commit? (since you said you have other changes in thread.c)? |
| 11:19:09 | jhMikeS | doesn't matter. go ahead. |
| 11:19:13 | ddalton | jhMikeS: ok so is there a function I can just call to run that while recording? |
| 11:19:33 | Slasheri | hmmh, the debug menu is completely broken.. doesn't work even without logf :/ |
| 11:19:50 | amiconn | Slasheri: huh? |
| 11:19:54 | amiconn | It works here... |
| 11:19:57 | Slasheri | it just crashes.. |
| 11:20:11 | * | jhMikeS has been using it consistently |
| 11:20:25 | amiconn | Slasheri: Oh, hmm, latest svn does crash it |
| 11:20:39 | jhMikeS | ddalton: not sure what you mean. |
| 11:20:42 | ddalton | my settings aren't been saved on a shut down of my h300. |
| 11:20:47 | ddalton | anyone know why? |
| 11:20:49 | amiconn | Either it's JdGordon's simple list stuff, or sdoyon's voice callbacks :| |
| 11:21:13 | * | ddalton Hates debugging |
| 11:21:51 | ddalton | jhMikeS: Well is there a function that is called while recording to save the recording file to disk and what ever else? |
| 11:21:55 | * | amiconn can't think of a good commit message for that threading fix... |
| 11:22:23 | ddalton | I want to make a quick memo feature. While I hold rec down record but once I let it go just return to what I was doing before. |
| 11:22:26 | jhMikeS | ddalton: that's in pcm_record.c |
| 11:22:30 | ddalton | and this should work from anywhere. |
| 11:23:02 | Slasheri | ah, it's that simplelist stuff |
| 11:23:06 | ddalton | jhMikeS: what should I look for there? |
| 11:23:08 | jhMikeS | ddalton: audio_stop_recording does flushing |
| 11:23:12 | JdGordon | Slasheri: which debug menu? |
| 11:23:20 | Slasheri | the main debug screen |
| 11:23:26 | Slasheri | when scrolling, it crashes immediately |
| 11:23:50 | JdGordon | wtf? thats a bit odd |
| 11:23:58 | jhMikeS | ddalton: I'm not sure why those functions need using outside the recording screen or a recording plugin. |
| 11:24:07 | amiconn | ddalton: This cannot work from anywhere. Recording needs lots of stuff set up differently than playback |
| 11:24:07 | Slasheri | at least it's missing the simplelist_info_init |
| 11:24:19 | Slasheri | and initializing directly those parameters, not sure yet if that causes it |
| 11:24:54 | JdGordon | hmm woops.. missed it, but not calling init sholdnt cause it to crasg |
| 11:25:12 | ddalton | jhMikeS: so could I write something like: while(button ==action_std_rec) {what ever code needs to be executed when recording. if(button !=action_std_rec) {code to kill recording and save.}}? |
| 11:25:56 | ddalton | amiconn: im going to enter the rec screen and start rec automatically. |
| 11:26:06 | ddalton | by this one key press so its not a new screen... |
| 11:26:14 | Slasheri | JdGordon: at least voice callback isn't initialized without init |
| 11:26:24 | Slasheri | that might be enough to crash it |
| 11:26:29 | Slasheri | but i will fix that |
| 11:26:29 | JdGordon | ah, yeah, maybe |

| 11:33:32 | Slasheri | JdGordon: in fact i have no voice working either, but it seems just that the missing init was crashing it |
| 11:34:01 | JdGordon | but you probably have voice menus enabled which would be enough to do it |
| 11:34:07 | jhMikeS | I can help that but it needs a stream manager in place that the UI uses and threads that have robust control. I'm doing that now. |

| 13:13:01 | linuxstb | I'm talking to devices with Telechips CPUs in "usb boot mode". When I attach the device to my Linux PC, it appears in /proc/bus/usb/devices, but doesn't appear in "lsusb". It seems the device is timing out when Linux is asking it for the configuration. |

| 13:13:44 | bertrik | ouch, sounds like a bug in the USB firmware |

| 13:14:44 | bertrik | does it make a difference whether do you "lsusb" or "lsusb -v"? the latter also asks for the string descriptors IIRC |
| 13:15:11 | linuxstb | Yes, neither work IIRC. "lsusb -t" works, but I think that's just parsing /proc/bus/usb/devices |
| 13:15:55 | linuxstb | If I bypass libusb and try and open() the usb device node, then the open fails with (I think) E_TIMEOUT |

| 13:16:52 | linuxstb | I can see the device connecting. Then when I run lsusb, the device disconnects and reattaches. |
| 13:17:38 | | Quit davina (Remote closed the connection) |
| 13:19:21 | linuxstb | This has been tested with 3 different USB devices, each with slightly different Telechips CPUs. One of them works and shows up in a normal lsusb (iaudio 7), but the other two are exhibiting this behaviour. |
| 13:20:26 | bertrik | linuxstb: i don't think i can help you with this, sorry |
| 13:20:46 | linuxstb | OK, thanks for listening ;) |
| 13:20:58 | bertrik | it's either a bug in the firmware of the device or a problem really deep in the linux kernel |
| 13:21:32 | linuxstb | I guess I should find a linux usb mailing list and email them. |

| 13:27:11 | amiconn | I would not want auto update enabled on archos, btw |
| 13:27:50 | amiconn | But I know of at least one 100% reproducable bug, and another one that was reported many times but might not be 100% reproducable |

| 14:31:36 | bertrik | I'm not sure. From the PP5022 product brief I see there is a fixed trickle charge mode, a programmable constant-current mode and a programmable constant-voltage mode |
| 14:32:04 | bertrik | Oh it's done by the AS3514, not the PP5022? |
| 14:32:30 | jhMikeS | the AS3514 handles tons of stuff on PP5024 |
| 14:33:40 | jhMikeS | Besides having an audio codec, it's rather analagous to a PCF50606 |

| 15:29:58 | stripwax | or audio playback isn't disabled on gigabeat? |
| 15:31:14 | stripwax | I'm wondering if we could reduce iram usage on ipod 5g for example by unifying those thousand-odd opcode functions into several core functions that fit inside instruction cache |
| 15:32:07 | * | amiconn found the bug in c200 yuv dithering :) |
| 15:32:15 | n1s | stripwax: to be able to have playback while in the plugin you can't use _any_ iram in the plugin |
| 15:32:16 | jhMikeS | stripwax: plugin IRAM and codec IRAM are shared. It's special highspeed SRAM but it's quantity is limited. |
| 15:32:18 | Slasheri | JdGordon: not for synchronous db scan, actually it's a bit slow still :) |

| 15:33:20 | JdGordon | it does the scan in that callback? |
| 15:33:33 | Slasheri | JdGordon: no, but it's synchronous |
| 15:33:37 | stripwax | do the other z80 emulator cores use iram? |

| 15:34:18 | JdGordon | there isnt a "better" way to do it? |

| 15:38:45 | stripwax | jhMikeS - yeah, thinking on ipod at least the data+instruction cache would help out at least as much here. ok, will see what the other implementations have to offer.. |
| 15:38:55 | stripwax | amiconn - wow! |
| 15:39:14 | amiconn | ...and 1/4 updates are only slightly slower - by about 1% |

| 15:45:25 | JdGordon | Slasheri: it seems to be updatng alot faster if the debug screen isnt open? |
| 15:47:43 | jhMikeS | how 'bout TIMEOUT_NOBLOCK + yield() ? |
| 15:48:29 | JdGordon | if a screen sets timout_noblock then its up to it to yield.. |
| 15:48:59 | jhMikeS | hence the |
| 15:49:01 | jhMikeS | + |
| 15:49:09 | JdGordon | ah |
| 15:49:19 | | Part pixelma |
| 15:49:32 | jhMikeS | now, I wonder if I should force yields when queues are used with timeout = 0 |
| 15:50:45 | JdGordon | what happened to going premetive so we didnt have to wrry about yielding? |
| 15:51:26 | jhMikeS | you think I was going for that right now? :) that yield would sort of be preemption. |
| 15:52:11 | stripwax | or even FS #7497 for that matter. wasn't this a requirement for getting bootloader versions working in rbutil? |
| 15:52:16 | * | stripwax shrugs |
| 15:54:11 | jhMikeS | communicating with any UI-creating thread through it's own message queue would help in a preemptive environment. would even be good in a touchscreen environment. |
| 15:55:00 | jhMikeS | that leads to an easy way to have real windows with focus (even better with a touchscreen) :) |
| 15:55:32 | stripwax | Domonoky - can you recall? didn't you need a specific magic string to be present in the bootloader file somewhere on-disk in order for rbutilqt to work out what version bootloader was installed? |
| 15:56:11 | bluebrother | IIRC the bootloader version is currently only determined by the log file |
| 15:59:19 | stripwax | and if there's no file? i recall the idea was to look for the bootloader file on-disk (for those devices for which this is possible) and see if the magic string was present and use that to determine the bl version number |
| 15:59:42 | stripwax | but it seems patch isn't committed so I guess that's not possible |
| 16:00 |
| 16:02:26 | bluebrother | on Ipod (and Sansa?) it would be possible to read the BL from disc and check / md5sum (my favourite as it would also verify the integrity) it |
| 16:05:11 | Slasheri | JdGordon: of course, then tagcache doesn't need to wait for screen updates |
| 16:05:15 | stripwax | hm, so rbutil would need to download a new list of md5sums every time there's a new bl build. I think we discussed that last time round and decided a magic string would be better! :) |
| 16:05:44 | stripwax | I'm easy either way, would be nice if someone could commit some of these patches that other people have asked for :) |

| 16:07:08 | bluebrother | but I agree that it would be better to have this network independent. |
| 16:07:26 | bluebrother | maybe extend the magic to add the md5sum of the bl bin? |

| 16:09:03 | stripwax | btw what's the advantage of putting the md5sum into the file automatically? is it just to protect against the (rare?) case of someone having a bootloader bin that looks like a rockbox bootloader and has the rbblver magic but is somehow corrupted? |
| 16:09:20 | stripwax | thinking that if someone builds their own customer bl then the md5sum would still 'match' so not sure what it guards against |
| 16:09:46 | stripwax | (^corrupted^modified by some third party thing we don't know about yet) |
| 16:09:59 | bluebrother | well, it's nothing that is needed in any way of course. |
| 16:10:11 | guywithproblem | hey everybody im testing rbutil on mah vista os everything works fine exept the downloading of rockbox i get http error C:\Users\kevin\Desktop\rbutilqt-v1.0.2 |
| 16:10:13 | bluebrother | but I like the idea of having it in the same file. |

| 16:10:36 | bluebrother | guywithproblem: have you checked the proxy settings? |
| 16:10:58 | guywithproblem | bluebrother : yup i putted no proxy |
| 16:11:32 | JdGordon | cal |
| 16:11:34 | stripwax | bluebrother - still not sure I understand. put the md5sum of the bin file, into the bin file, .. and then what? if you then md5sum the file you'll get something different. or if you md5sum everything except the md5sum-in-the-file you'll get the same. and then what ? |
| 16:12:03 | bluebrother | and you're sure your network is working? Can you access download.rockbox.org from your browser? |
| 16:12:20 | bluebrother | stripwax: well, my idea was to have two different formats −− like bl.bin and bl.ipod |
| 16:12:33 | guywithproblem | bluebrother Yes i just downloaded the util XD |
| 16:12:36 | n1s | stripwax: quick cf asm question, do I need to save all registers? most functions don't save d0 d1 a0 a1 but all the others they use |
| 16:12:40 | bluebrother | and add some magic including the md5sum to the latter. |
| 16:12:50 | bluebrother | but maybe that idea wasn't really good at all ;-) |
| 16:13:12 | bluebrother | guywithproblem: can you try it on a non-vista machine? Vista is currently completely untested |
| 16:13:14 | stripwax | n1s - it's a matter of convention, usually d0,d1,a0,a1 are free to use a scratch by a function as they are not preserved |
| 16:13:19 | guywithproblem | ah bingo ^^ its working fine on vista now :) there was a problem in the firewall setting :) |
| 16:13:23 | stripwax | you certainly need to store all others that you use |
| 16:13:29 | guywithproblem | bluebrother IM testing on vista now :p |
| 16:13:53 | bluebrother | it's known that bootloader installation fails on vista in case you get problems ;-) |
| 16:14:08 | stripwax | n1s - let me find you a link |
| 16:14:34 | guywithproblem | bluebrother nah i dont care its mah old ipod so cant complain if its broken :) |

| 16:15:54 | guywithproblem | bluebrother tell me ?! |
| 16:16:05 | stripwax | bluebrother/guywithproblem - if you right-click the Properties of rbutil and select to "Run as Administrator" does it work? |
| 16:16:34 | bluebrother | stripwax: bootloader installation / autodetection for ipods / sansa doesn't work on vista due to UAC issues |
| 16:16:35 | guywithproblem | Ow yeah stripwax/bluebrother i Disabled That Thing where do always need to click continue or yes or something :p |
| 16:16:40 | n1s | stripwax: thanks! that clears up a lot of questions :-) |
| 16:16:48 | stripwax | n1s - cool! |
| 16:16:58 | stripwax | actually there's a link to a pdf there, don't know it but might be a nice doc |
| 16:18:17 | stripwax | bluebrother - even if you specify the 'run as administrator' preferential compatibility setting for the app? |
| 16:18:42 | bertrik | is there a smarter way of writing the rockbox package to the device than unzipping the rockbox.zip archive to it? |
| 16:19:04 | guywithproblem | ill keep you guys updates as Util is working :) currently downloading a bunch of Themes |
| 16:19:05 | stripwax | bertrik- 'smarter' how - like only replace the files if they're newer/different? |
| 16:19:16 | bertrik | stripwax: exactly |
| 16:19:44 | jhMikeS | n1s: I could've told you all that :) |
| 16:19:57 | stripwax | bertrik - hm, nothing I'm aware of. from experience though rbutil seems much faster at physically unzipping onto the device than the built-in Windows unzip, if you're using that. |
| 16:20:12 | bluebrother | guywithproblem: you could try installing the bootloader −− put the file http://www.stud.uni-karlsruhe.de/~uhcn/rockbox/rbutil/rbutilqt.exe.manifest in the same folder as rbutilqt.exe and try if autodetection of the ipod works |
| 16:20:20 | stripwax | bertrik - but potentially every file could change in some way between versions, and rockbox builds don't track the dependencies really |
| 16:20:20 | n1s | jhMikeS: I'm sure I can come up with some other question to nag you with :-) |

| 17:02:32 | * | jhMikeS supposes that can probably be worried about later |
| 17:02:33 | Nico_P | I'm not sure I understand you fully, but the codec reads the data directly from the buffer by requesting a pointer to it with bufgetdata |

| 17:04:52 | Nico_P | they are aligned on all builds currently |
| 17:05:23 | Nico_P | padded I have no idea, but everything uses sizeof so I think there should be no problem |
| 17:05:24 | jhMikeS | To avoid cache line interference on PP between cores, things must be 16-bytes aligned |
| 17:05:47 | jhMikeS | experiments seem to indicate - hope it's no larger |

| 17:06:43 | | Quit happyguy ("CGI:IRC (EOF)") |
| 17:07:22 | jhMikeS | ok, then we're good...it might actually be that on PP as well. then some buffer data could be read and written at the uncached alias on PP. |

| 17:10:14 | | Quit FOAD ("I'll be back") |
| 17:11:21 | jhMikeS | it means that reads and writes aren't held in the processor cache but instead are read and written directly in ram when the uncached alias is used. PP is setup to show both cached and uncached views of RAM depending upon the address offset used. |

| 17:33:46 | andresmh | ok, so I rbutilqt.exe didn't autodetect my ipod. Should I go ahead and install the bootloader or the audiplayer first? |
| 17:34:28 | | Quit Limerr () |
| 17:34:52 | bluebrother | andresmh: do you have administrator permissions? |
| 17:34:59 | Nico_P | jhMikeS: what do you call a "useless" message ? one that isn't removed after queue_peek is called ? |
| 17:35:51 | andresmh | bluebrother: I am using winxp as admin |
| 17:36:37 | bluebrother | hmm, sounds like the detection issue that has been reported on windows −− but I have no idea what's causing this. |
| 17:36:54 | bluebrother | or have you installed any other software (like IPL) to the Ipod before? |
| 17:36:59 | andresmh | nope |
| 17:37:09 | jhMikeS | the queue_peek I just doesn't remove anything. If you want it out, call queue_wait. It won't block you then. |
| 17:37:19 | bluebrother | looks like you need to use the command line ipodpatcher for bootloader installation |
| 17:37:34 | andresmh | oh, i think i messed up, i click on "install rockbox on your audio player" before installing the bootloader |

| 17:38:10 | bluebrother | bootloader and build can get installed separately (well, as long as you selected the correct player ;-) |
| 17:38:22 | jhMikeS | Nico_P: queue_remove_from_head removes all message with the specified id until it finds one with a different id |
| 17:38:27 | andresmh | i hope i did, i slected the apple/color ipod |
| 17:38:47 | andresmh | so how do I know if everything worked? should i disconnect the ipod from the pc? and turn it off/on? |

| 17:39:46 | bluebrother | you need to install the bootloader first. |
| 17:40:46 | andresmh | bluebrother: done, i think it worked. |
| 17:40:48 | jhMikeS | Nico_P: Of course if any of the message removed was sent, the thread waiting for a reply gets a default reply of 0 |
| 17:40:58 | andresmh | now i can disconnect? |
| 17:41:07 | bluebrother | then you need to reset the Ipod by pressing and holding Menu + Select |
| 17:41:14 | bluebrother | yes, do a safe disconnect first. |
| 17:43:25 | jhMikeS | Nico_P: It |
| 17:43:58 | andresmh | ok, this is the first time i use an ipod, when i press menu+select it just shows up the ipod menu that was last used |
| 17:44:04 | jhMikeS | 's also imperative that any queue with message sending enabled never allow multiple-thread access to the head. it should be considered owned. |

| 17:46:02 | andresmh | bluebrother: ok, i got it to reboot, but it did boot to appleos :( |
| 17:46:19 | bluebrother | did you install the bootloader using ipodpatcher? |
| 17:46:59 | andresmh | i used the install bootloader option in Rockbox utility (rbutilqt.exe) |
| 17:47:13 | bluebrother | and it showed success? |
| 17:47:23 | andresmh | didn't say success nor fail |
| 17:47:29 | andresmh | so i clicked install again |
| 17:47:37 | andresmh | and it said somethinbg like "already installed" |
| 17:47:54 | bluebrother | hmm. You said that rbutil didn't detect the Ipod. If that happens it can't install the bootloader. |

| 17:48:16 | andresmh | not good? |
| 17:48:34 | bluebrother | no. It's ok for installing Rockbox but not for installing the bootloader |
| 17:48:45 | Nico_P | jhMikeS: what would queue_peek be like for the sim ? same thing without the IRQ and core_lock business ? |
| 17:48:53 | bluebrother | try installing the bootloader using ipodpatcher as the manual installation instructions in the manual |
| 17:49:09 | andresmh | oh ok, i'll try that |
| 17:49:11 | bluebrother | (mostly run ipodpatcher and select "i"nstall) |
| 17:49:46 | bluebrother | there seem to be issues with bootloader installation on windows, but not in all cases. No idea what's causing it as rbutil uses the same code as ipodpatcher |
| 17:50:04 | bluebrother | hopefully we'll figure out eventually. |

| 17:52:38 | Ave | not so simple as to just pre-emp high frequencies all over the place.. |
| 17:52:42 | Soap | Ave: It is my (incomplete?) understanding of the reasons behind Doby NR that it is to correct for a lacking of the media (here magnetic tape) not of the hardware (the reading heads). ASSuming this is correct you do not need to use Doby NR - as a cassette adapter should not suffer from the "hiss" Doby NR is ment to account for. |
| 17:52:57 | andresmh | bluebrother: reboot now? |
| 17:53:03 | bluebrother | now reset the Ipod. Rockbox should load. |

| 17:53:50 | andresmh | awesome, it worked |
| 17:54:15 | andresmh | so now i want to install a nicer theme. should i use rbutilqt? |
| 17:54:37 | Ave | I suppose the ideal placement of the "heads" would be more important and somewhat difficult to achieve, also I dont think that the cassette adapter frequency response is particularly good |
| 17:55:47 | andresmh | how do you boot into appleos? |
| 17:55:47 | krazykit | andresmh, it's up to you, but that's probably one of the simpler ways. |
| 17:55:56 | Soap | It should, in theory, be far superior to an FM modulator. The S/N ratio isn't the best with tape, but the frequency response is excellent. Also, some of the nicer cassette-adapters I have seen in stores have an adjustable head. |

It can use lcd_framebuffer on color targets and could convert to RGB in place there. Speed isn't such a huge deal with that. |
| 17:58:27 | Soap | Ave: It really is second best to Line-in, something to take into account, though, is you may need to drive it at -10dB or so. Mine distorts when driven @ 0dB. |

| 18:19:55 | krazykit | Limerr, the rockbox bootloader will boot both, and how should be outlined in the manual (or maybe the wiki) |
| 18:20:02 | Limerr | complete install, windows xp, no firewall what so ever :S |
| 18:20:31 | Soap | Limerr: The Rockbox bootloader is perfectly capable of loading IPL. Use of the IPL bootloader, while supposedly compatible with Rockbox, is not supported due to it not being Rockbox code, and issues with wether it initializes the hardware properly. |

| 18:23:36 | Soap | Konam: it is not as simple as that. The change which appears to have _exposed_ the problem is one which will not be reverted. The change which _exposed_ the problem was one which was made after reverse engineering the Apple OS, and following that more closely than Rockbox had done before. In other words a correction to Rockbox code appears to have triggered an underlying bug. That underlying bug is what needs to be fixed, not the commit which trigger |
| 18:23:36 | Soap | ed said bug. |

| 18:26:57 | Limerr | woho, rockbox is now booting correctly, allthough i want that neat menu in the start were you get to chose if you want apple os or rockbox :S |
| 18:27:15 | Soap | Konam: No - an underlying bug in Rockbox. Something to do with ATA timing, If I Understand Correctly. |
| 18:27:24 | Llorean | That's the current theory, yes. |
| 18:27:56 | Konam | oh, damn it |
| 18:28:12 | Llorean | Hm |
| 18:28:21 | Soap | Limerr: that "neat menu" is the Ipod Linux Bootloader. Mind you you can install it - but we can not help you with Rockbox issues as long as you are using it - because, despite what people think, the bootloader does affect the hardware in ways which can make Rockbox behave differently than if Rockbox's bootloader was used. |
| 18:28:43 | Llorean | Partially reinforced by the fact that evidence at least suggests so far that it's only data read from flash while boosted that's corrupted. |
| 18:28:59 | jhMikeS | roolku: can it not worry about the code formatting for thumbnail right now ? |
| 18:29:37 | Limerr | Doesnt the rockbox bootloader have some ability to launch other os:es such as iPL or AppleOS? |
| 18:29:45 | jhMikeS | roolku: Patching the menu a bit won't be much bother though. |
| 18:30:04 | Soap | Limerr: as I mentioned earlier - it does. It can boot all three. It just doesn't have a "neat menu" |

| 18:31:34 | jhMikeS | sure. what I'm doing should help keep streams as streams where they don't worry about others and make implementing lots of stuff much easier because threading control will be much better as well as taking a more object oriented approach to it. |
| 18:31:37 | bluebrother | the hold switch boots AppleOS and Play boots IPL |
| 18:31:43 | Soap | Konam: I am not dealing with the bug. I have little to offer as far as bug-squasing outside my standing offer to ship my iPod (free of charge) to an interested developer who has the time, talent, and motivation to look into the problem. |

| 18:43:57 | Morey | roolku/jhMikeS: They are just algorithm simplifications. One line for one line, shouldn't even offset the file. |
| 18:44:58 | roolku | okay, done :) |
| 18:45:11 | jhMikeS | I did add "mode" to vo - thumbnail or fullsize. Basically calling vo_draw_frame via a pointer. |
| 18:45:53 | roolku | jhMikeS: full screen won't have a progress bar though, I assume? |
| 18:46:08 | Morey | jhMikeS: You mean for fullsize thumbnail or compining draw_frame and draw_thumb |
| 18:46:10 | jhMikeS | not yet |

| 18:46:55 | stevenm | n1s, Hello. I think there may be a bug with the new MIDI loop. |
| 18:46:56 | jhMikeS | Morey: no, selecting the function to call when setting the mode...vo_draw_frame_full or vo_draw_frame_thumb |
| 18:47:30 | roolku | jhMikeS: the other thing to watch out for is the different buttons when the thumb and full screen are 90 degrees rotated |
| 18:47:31 | stevenm | n1s, I've got a test file right here: stevenm/1.mid">http://wam.umd.edu/~stevenm/1.mid |
| 18:47:47 | jhMikeS | you just send a message to video to draw a thumbnail |
| 18:47:54 | stevenm | n1s, something ends up corrupting memory and overwriting a struct, which leads to a major crash. |
| 18:48:14 | Morey | jhMikeS: That sounds good. |
| 18:48:38 | stevenm | n1s, This happens because the file tries to change its tempo on the fly. That causes numberOfSamples to change because of tick() |
| 18:48:44 | jhMikeS | roolku: no button changes are made...it should draw as-is |
| 18:49:37 | jhMikeS | ui and buffering will have their own threads...ui on the main thread, buffering on it's own |
| 18:50:26 | Morey | jhMikeS: Does that mean the user can be interacting while buffering in the background? This would speed things up. |
| 18:50:37 | roolku | the button control could get confusing, but lets see how it turns out |
| 18:51:10 | jhMikeS | Morey: sure and you'll be able to view the menu from paused which doesn't seem to work right now |
| 18:51:49 | jhMikeS | roolku: it's _way_ simpler. the UI stuff just makes calls like mpeg_stream_pause/play/stop/seek. |
| 18:51:54 | Morey | jhMikeS: Nice. Lots a luck! :) |
| 18:52:24 | jhMikeS | pretty close to done with it actually. I just need the buffering straight and should be able to start testing. |
| 18:52:44 | stevenm | n1s, also, because numberOfSamples changes, it may be affecting the foor loop condition in midilay.c (the one taht calls synthSamples) |

| 18:56:22 | n1s | stevenm: I know, about this issue but have not had any crashes yet, however one file gets stuck in an endless loop and never finishes, I'm thinking about a good way to fix it... |
| 18:57:04 | stevenm | n1s, Ah, all right. I was up til I think 6AM trying to hunt the bug. Just woke up and there it was |
| 18:57:15 | n1s | stevenm: btw I noticed another problem that I think was caused by the pitch bend depth, one of my files has high pitched squeaks now... |
| 18:57:32 | | Quit FOAD (Remote closed the connection) |

| 18:58:15 | stevenm | n1s, numberOfSamples goes from 100something all the way up to 260, then suddenly to 95 |
| 18:58:56 | stevenm | n1s, due to tempo events. I guess the logic can't handle that... also, the sample buffer within synth.c is set to 256 max, and then num_samples is multiplied by 4 |

| 19:00:18 | n1s | stevenm: I'll look into it more, kind of busy now, I have an exam on tuesday :-/ |
| 19:00:24 | stevenm | n1s, when it writes past buffer, it overwrites some structures.. like the pointer to the midi file itself. |
| 19:00:44 | stevenm | n1s, oh, that's fine... i'm just saying the results of what I found. It took a long time |
| 19:01:11 | stevenm | n1s, last night I ported over the whole plugin to be a standalone application just so I could use GDB watchpoints, which apparently don't work in plugins |
| 19:01:30 | n1s | here is one file that now plays with squeaks http://home.student.uu.se/niwa5341/FF7aerit.mid I tested with revisions prior to the loop/pith bend commit and it was fine and then patched with the loop change and it still played fine so i think it is caused by pitch bend depth |
| 19:01:43 | stevenm | n1s, and when I finally set up the watchpoint, memory alignment was such that it was overwriting a DIFFERENT structure.. then gdb hung.. it sucked :( |
| 19:02:08 | stevenm | n1s, Thanks, will look. It could also be the patch 'prescaler' code also |
| 19:02:25 | n1s | stevenm: it occured before that commit |
| 19:02:36 | stevenm | n1s, aah, ok. |
| 19:03:11 | n1s | sorry that bug has caused you so much trouble :-/ |
| 19:04:06 | stevenm | n1s, s'alright.. |
| 19:04:07 | stevenm | n1s, you are referring to the beeps that happen randomly in the music? |
| 19:04:39 | stevenm | there it is... yea, somewhere delta is messed up. printf time |

| 19:12:56 | stevenm | n1s, Yeah, it's gotta be the pitch bend. Note offsets are something like 63. |

| 19:19:10 | stevenm | n1s, I think the issue is decoding the bend depth event. I found online that it is just the Data Ent MSB (LSB?) event, but I think that controller has multiple functions based on some other bits |

| 19:22:26 | bertrik | hmm, interesting |
| 19:22:39 | stevenm | yes, that's what it is. The file tries to set controller 6 to things like 75 and 84, which is WAAY too much of a bend. The math is right, but the sequencer is treating non-depth events as depth events |
| 19:23:17 | | Quit Rob222241 () |
| 19:23:29 | stevenm | Right now it just takes any Data Ent MSB (6) write and treats it as bend depth. I'm looking at the data now.. there appear to be other events around it that tell it what that write should do. And midiplay doesn't look at those yt |

| 20:41:51 | AmbiquitY | wouldnt a wall socket thing have the same effect as plugging it in my computer? |
| 20:42:10 | kratonator | might be old news but I've heard that the new Sansa View has a GoForce 6100 http://www.nvidia.com/page/goforce_6100.html |
| 20:42:14 | stripwax | yes and no. usb delivers lower current |
| 20:42:34 | kratonator | it says that it has ARM archtecture |
| 20:43:24 | kratonator | is there a chance to port rockbox on it once it's out? |
| 20:43:41 | AmbiquitY | this happend when i wanted to plug in my ipod but i didnt want the black and white data transfer thing and i forgot to put on hold on time, so i just pulled out the cable out of my ipod.. could this be the reason that its not doing anything? |
| 20:43:43 | stripwax | AmbiquitY - according to apple, the ipod might not respond for 30 minutes after plugging into computer usb if battery is flat. http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=32222 |
| 20:43:54 | AmbiquitY | oh |
| 20:44:04 | AmbiquitY | ok I'll leave it plugged in for some time and hope for the best |

| 20:44:16 | AmbiquitY | yes i forgot the name |

| 20:44:44 | stripwax | you must always click on the 'safely disconnect' otherwise the filesystem could get corrupted |
| 20:44:45 | krazykit | kratonator, there's a chance for anything, really, it's just a matter of if there are people who have the device and the ability to get code running. |
| 20:44:50 | stripwax | if you did that all should be fine |

| 20:45:02 | stripwax | "soup-to-nuts"? |
| 20:45:08 | maxkelley | *before. |
| 20:45:19 | AmbiquitY | but i did it alot before and never had problems.; |
| 20:45:24 | stripwax | Ambiquity - it'll probably still be ok after a full charge, maybe it didn't turn off properly and the battery drained |

| 20:46:01 | kratonator | well the second gen nano is pretty popular (people have the device) but it is still impossible to get any code running |
| 20:46:11 | AmbiquitY | ok I'm not touching it anymore I'm going to watch a movie and just leave it plugged in, thanks for your help |
| 20:46:27 | kratonator | i know, i know...but i hope nvidia wasnt serious when they said that |
| 20:46:43 | krazykit | kratonator, not impossible, it's just that no one has figured out how to run non-apple code on it. |
| 20:46:46 | stripwax | ok. if it still doesn't work, time for apple support.. |

| 21:11:41 | webguest72 | on the list starts playing, not the one I picked. I can use the right arrow in the WPS to get to the track I want. What's wrong here? |
| 21:12:00 | mrkiko | Who can help me with the simulator? I can't get the audio working: i have the needed sdl components and I get no errors but looking at the debug screen |

| 21:12:34 | mrkiko | It is using mpa codec for mp3 files... |
| 21:12:34 | rasher | webguest72: I think there's a setting "Play selected first", which will play the one you selected first, rather than start from the top of the list, but I'm not sure that option does this, or what it does. I'm sort of guessing here |
| 21:13:04 | andresmh | is there a way to play in shuffle mode all the files in a directory from the file browser? |
| 21:13:24 | markun | andresmh: you can do "insert shuffled" on the dir |
| 21:14:15 | | Nick idnar_ is now known as idnar (i=mithrand@unaffiliated/idnar) |
| 21:14:21 | andresmh | markun: so i am looking at a directory, i click select and i get the context menu, should i see "insert suffled" there? |
| 21:14:24 | *** | Saving seen data "./dancer.seen" |
| 21:14:40 | webguest72 | Yup, play selected first fixes that. Thanks! |
| 21:14:54 | n1s | andresmh: yes you can select it in the context menu |
| 21:15:09 | rasher | webguest72: I believe that option is on by default, so you probably changed it without knowing what it did |
| 21:15:10 | n1s | or you can turn on shuffle and just start playing a file in the dir |
| 21:15:25 | markun | andresmh: I never use shuffle myself, perhaps there are other ways to do it |
| 21:15:38 | andresmh | it's just that my folder has subfloders |
| 21:15:58 | andresmh | and in the context menu i don't see an "insert suffled" option |
| 21:16:03 | webguest72 | Another thing on my gigabeat was that after connecting the usb (while in rockbox) to download files, then disconnecting it |
| 21:16:17 | n1s | andresmh: you can still insert the dir into a playlist, by default all subdirs are inserted too |
| 21:16:37 | mrkiko | Does the wiki contains some hintgs about the sim' I can't find them... |
| 21:16:40 | markun | n1s: are you sure it's on by default? |
| 21:16:40 | webguest72 | and rebooting to rebuild the database my clock setting was gone! (had to reset the time). Also if I plug in the usb while the unit is off |
| 21:16:56 | n1s | markun: yup, I changed it about a week asgo :-) |
| 21:17:00 | andresmh | oh i found the insert shuffled option now |
| 21:17:09 | webguest72 | it will connect to the pc but gets locked up. I had to cycle the battery to recover. connecting while in rockbox avoids this. |
| 21:17:13 | andresmh | will it create a new playlist? |
| 21:17:33 | markun | andresmh: if you stop playback first it will create a new playlist |
| 21:17:38 | n1s | andresmh: not if you have one currently active (== not stopped) |
| 21:18:42 | andresmh | i am getting No file! errors |
| 21:19:43 | andresmh | could it because some of my filenames are non-english chars? |
| 21:21:05 | andresmh | I get this when I click on view current playlist "error accesing playlist control file" |
| 21:21:47 | webguest72 | is there a function in the file menu that will give the remaining space on the disk. Or do I have to mount the player and check this from the pc? |

| 21:33:54 | Soap | please read and respect the channel guidelines. On top of that the scrolling margins patch is unofficial and not appropriate subject for conversation in #rockbox. The patch tracker is really a better place. - That being said it is also considered clutter to ask for a sync in the patch tracker - as those who are unwilling/unable to sync are really at the mercy of those who are able/willing. The polite thing to do is sit on your hands and wait for the k |
| 21:33:54 | Soap | indness of others, or to work on syncing the patch yourself. ALL that being said - such rejected features are really a grey area in the #rockbox / #rockbox-community division and perhaps talking about it in the latter (as long as you can keep off topic) is better. |
| 21:33:56 | rasher | Sounds swell. |

| 21:34:26 | scorche | macro... |
| 21:34:31 | Soap | J3TC-: your constant useage of the "Enter" key as if it were a comma is also spam. How about starting and completing one sentance on one line? |

| 22:50:38 | * | jhMikeS still wonders how to hide the DSP behind libmpeg2 calls...would be rather strange |
| 22:51:01 | kkurbjun | the original firmware doesn't have any video decoding |
| 22:51:15 | kkurbjun | they have a TV out for it though |
| 22:51:30 | kkurbjun | I think those neuros set top devices are based on the same chipset though |

| 22:51:37 | linuxstb | Presumably (being Olympus) it's designed more for photo viewing? |
| 22:52:06 | kkurbjun | yes, it has a great display for photos, and it looks very nice on the TV as well |
| 22:52:21 | linuxstb | 4 times the number of pixels as the Gigabeat F, and a slower CPU.. |
| 22:52:34 | kkurbjun | there's a limited angle that you can see well though |

| 23:46:58 | bluebrother | what method are you using? Are you installing the bootloader separately or using the "Quick Start" tab? |
| 23:47:19 | Buschel | preglow: could the yielding within the iPod Video's yuv-blit not give cpu-time to the mpeg-decoder? |
| 23:47:52 | makuseru | i used the small instalation |
