#rockbox log for 2007-11-04

00:00:11saratogathis just powers off the disk's ATA controller when its done?
00:00:28amiconnIt cuts power to the hdd, yes

00:01:04amiconnIt looks like we could even switch off the clock of the PP's ata controller, but this means we need to learn how to init it
00:01:10linuxstbBTW, how did you identify it in the ROM?
00:01:26saratogaamiconn: do we switch it off for the PP5024 ?
00:01:54amiconnJust via the 'HD Power Test' string, and then disassembling a bit above it
00:02:07amiconnThe function looks exactly the same as on mini

00:05:12saratogaactually i guess the 5024 doesn't have an ATA controller, so there'd be no gain for the sansa from disableing it

00:58:44JdGordonkugel: it does that already.... but global_status.last_screen is about as close as youll get
00:58:44bertrikcould it be that there's a thread that hangs?
00:58:45lostlogicbertrik: I actually think I was able to trigger it by some trickity splickty skipping on my ipv. So yes, it is sansa specific, but it's really a race condition that is triggered consistently on sansa and not on other targets
00:59:06lostlogicbertrik: there is most likely a thread that hangs, but I don't know which one (codec or buffer or both) or why
00:59:48lostlogicbertrik: my only thought is that the codec gets stuck in a bufgetdata operation that is now blocking while the buffering thread for some reason cannot fill the buffer but I can't seem to find any potential livelocks or races between them

01:15:15bertrikthis line will never evaluate to true for sansa
01:15:24lostlogicbertrik: yeah, it's just an optimization though
01:15:30lostlogicnothing should break if that is always false
01:15:37lostlogic(I'm testing on my video with false inserted there)
01:15:45JdGordonata_disk_is_active() should be renamed or never called on HAVE_FLLASH_STORAGE targes imo
01:16:29amiconnata_disk_is_active should be *removed* completely, or if needed, stay as a static function in ata.c
01:16:56JdGordonsomethin to let apps know the disk is spinning is needed though
01:16:57lostlogicbertrik: no change in behavior by removing that block entirely on ipod
01:17:07amiconnThe modules needing to hook into a spinup should use the callback, that's what it's meant for
01:17:46GerHi, i have sansa e2X0. Can I install Rockbox under Linux? And when I installed Rockbox can I copy photos, videos etc. without the software?
01:18:07JdGordonand they do, but (I said this already..) callbacks which then post an event on another htreads queue might.. the disk might be spun down before that queue reacts so a disk spinup would occur
01:18:07lostlogicamiconn: I'm considering just removing that block for now and we can re-add the optimization using the callback.

01:19:00amiconnUsing the callback both stops those modlues from getting in the way of the access that originally triggered the spinup, and ensures the ata thread (or whatever flash thread) knows that there'll be some extra access

01:21:54amiconnYeah, and that *is* a synchronisation problem
01:22:00bertrikthread switching isn't that slow, is it?
01:22:11amiconnNo, why?
01:22:24JdGordonno.. but the disk is shutdown as soon as the callbacks are all called..
01:22:56amiconnThe problem is that currently the callback *must* be processed synchronously. The ata thread might shut down the disk as soon as the callback returns
01:23:56lostlogicamiconn: that seems problematic, since buffering could take a fairly long time
01:23:56JdGordonone thig that might work is that if ata_spin() is called in the callback, then the disk will wait the usual time after the callbacks are done before shutttind donw (but not trigge them again untill next spinup)
01:24:28BigBambiGer: Yes and yes
01:24:29bertrikI'm new to this, but perhaps we can do something like the CPU boost counter
01:24:47lostlogicwell regardless, disabled that optimization with a #if 0, reducing a difference between sansa and ipv

01:42:41Mouser_Xamiconn is testing with it right now, but if it's implemented well, it should save on battery life.

02:20:28amiconnSo with ((vall << 8) | val) you set all bits in the mask, and with just (val << 8) you reset them
02:21:08amiconnYou can even combine that, e.g. 0x4404 would set bit 2, reset bit 6, and keep all others

02:32:33lostlogicsigh
02:32:37jhMikeSwhy even bother with yield codec anyway?
02:33:01lostlogicjhMikeS: to prevent pcmbuf underruns during filling is the theory behind the function
02:33:21jhMikeSis there any actuality behind it? :)
02:33:40lostlogicthere was pre-MoB
02:33:42jhMikeSnow that priority threading exists
02:33:58*lostlogic doesn't run priority scheduling
02:34:00*lostlogic doesn't like it
02:34:28*jhMikeS doesn't share that sentiment
02:35:26jhMikeSIt is there, so I guess take advantage
02:35:57lostlogicblech, O(n) scheduling
02:39:49jhMikeSn = ?

02:40:55lostlogicok, I'm inclined to make yield_codec not a loop bu tI don't know how it will impact slow codecs on slow targets
02:41:00jhMikeSthreads ready to run actually which isn't usually more than one.
02:42:21jhMikeSusually that loop won't even execute since the current thread will probably be the one that matches the level
02:42:40lostlogichmm, maybe I'm too hard on it
02:42:58lostlogic*shrug* I don't have a problem with the flat scheduling ;)
02:43:17jhMikeSthe only thread in the running list are the ones actually running. others take no cpu (blocked) or barely any (timeout)
02:44:22lostlogichttp://test.lostlogicx.com/transfer/rockbox/20071103_no_yield_loop.patch <−− what do you think of this instead of the yield loop?
02:44:35lostlogicwhat's the target most likely to skip during buffering of a 'working' codec so we can test it?
02:45:00jhMikeSthe timeout operation is extremely lazy and it only executes the checks when a thread is actually due to wake. heck they aren't even taken off the tmo list when explicitly woken but are garbage collected later when the next check is due
02:45:42lostlogicso you're saying that priority scheduling is a good thing and I'm being stupid not to run it?

02:50:40lostlogicright, but is that single yield enough to recover from a pcmbuf_low situation on a slow codec? no.
02:50:55lostlogicthat's what led to the creation of the yield_codec function in the first place
02:51:09lostlogicI think a sleep(2) to let it gain some breathing room if it's low is reasonable
02:51:21lostlogic2/100 of a second is long in pcmbuf time but short in buffering time
02:51:24jhMikeSwe also don't run every thread on every task switch either
02:51:50lostlogichrm?
02:52:24jhMikeSthe old threading woke evey thread every time no matter what it was doing. now you'll only have buffering and codec going most times.

02:55:50jhMikeSlostlogic: sure. I think it will yield alot of time away from buffering. Don't forget the ATA yields quite often on any targets I've used...to the point recording makes no explicit yields in flushing

03:19:53emeralddso, usefl identifies what about buffering?
03:20:17karashataMouser_X: unless you were using a theme that supported it, you wouldn't
03:20:19lostlogicemeraldd: usefl is how much data is left that is _likely_ playable

03:21:56emeralddwhat unit is usefl in I'm seeing six figures here
03:21:58emeraldd(bytes?)
03:22:03lostlogicbytes
03:22:12lostlogicso that's kilobytes, and it's getting low-ish
03:22:18emeralddsorry, five figures
03:22:22lostlogicwhen it gets just below 6 figures expect it to fill
03:22:37lostlogicif it doesn't fill then that would be considered a bad thing
03:23:02lostlogic(what bitrate? 64?
03:23:06emeraldd(Note: it started at five figures, I mis counted at first)
03:23:11emeralddbit rate is 128 right now
03:23:17lostlogicah, has it started filling yet?

03:25:10lostlogicthe 75% was the high_watermark
03:25:30lostlogicwhich only applies when the disk is spinning (I guess should apply always on flash targets) and which I've disabled completely for the time being

03:29:55emeralddahh

03:30:06emeralddso the unit is not bytes

03:32:34lostlogicanything going on on the screen?

03:32:37emeralddnope
03:32:55emeralddnothing
03:32:59emeralddstill responsive though
03:33:03lostlogicI'm so confused, so you exited the buffering screen, then skipped and the skip didn't work?
03:33:08*jhMikeS thinks that queue hack in playback should be fixed first
03:33:10emeralddno
03:33:16emeralddI didn't exit the buffering screen
03:33:25lostlogicthen how do you know the time?
03:33:37jhMikeS a clock?
03:33:40lostlogicjhMikeS: queue hack? oh the queue_peak thing?
03:33:43emeralddi hit the down button to keep the back light on
03:33:46emeralddit skipped a track
03:33:50emeralddeverything stopped
03:33:53jhMikeSlostlogic: yeah, not safe at all
03:33:58emeralddI then left the screen

03:34:21lostlogicw.t.f. sansa.
03:34:29emeralddmy thoughts exactly
03:34:42lostlogicI mean I'm sure ther is a bug in the code but ... I don't get it.
03:35:14emeralddI think there might be a bug in th buffering screen :(
03:35:24emeralddIs there a nice way to artifically shrink the buffer?
03:35:34lostlogicthe buffering screen is designed to allow skips for basically that purpose
03:35:39emeralddahh
03:35:49emeralddthen that's what I just caused :(
03:35:50emeralddcrap
03:35:59lostlogicso what I do when testing this is to watch the screen, skip forward (which is a clockwise touch on the ipod) until the last track and then let that run out
03:36:08emeralddyeah
03:36:21emeralddI wish I had known that twenty minutes ago ;)
03:36:37lostlogicsorry
03:36:49lostlogicsigh and it still works dandy fine on the ipod
03:36:54emeralddno problem
03:37:02emeralddso what should it do at five seconds?

03:42:45emeralddahhh
03:43:14lostlogiclive lock means that the threads are actively looping on something that's not changing as opposed to a deadlock where they are in a mutex_wait or other wait operation and not executing any code

03:46:32lostlogicwtf is special about 16k?
03:46:36emeralddIf I remember one file chunk is 32k
03:46:40jhMikeSthen it won't remove it if it is in fact a buffering message while in the loop
03:46:40lostlogicyeah
03:46:47emeralddso something less than one file chunk maybe?

03:52:00DogBoydepends DarkDaemon
03:52:11lostlogicDarkDaemon: in theeory yes... especially on transients and other hard to encode sections of audio
03:52:33DarkDaemondepends on what DogBoy?
03:52:35lostlogicDarkDaemon: a flac will sound exactly like a cd, an mp3 or ogg _may_ sound different, losing detail or range
03:52:52DogBoyon the gear you're using and your ears etc
03:52:54emeralddbuffering is T, codec is S, audio is T
03:53:17lostlogicemeraldd: are they changing?

03:53:25DogBoydepends on a lot of things
03:53:31emeralddno
03:53:34DarkDaemonlostlogic so is it worth the download? since they size is fairly big. im not worried abt space cause i have a 80gb ipod but more if i should wait for the download :P
03:53:57DogBoylol
03:54:02lostlogicDarkDaemon: to _me_ it would be, but I have a 3k stereo system and $300 ear phones to go with my digital music...
03:54:11Mouser_XI'd be probably be more concerned with battery life.
03:54:22DogBoyyea and for me as well, I would prefer the flac files
03:54:28Mouser_XFLACs will decrease your battery life because there will be more disk reads.
03:54:38lostlogicand what Mouser_X said
03:54:50DarkDaemonwell i have around 80$ dj headphones (the big ones) and ipod 5.5g 80gb
03:54:50DogBoygood point
03:55:02lostlogicbut you can keep the flac on your computer for hi-fi use and transcode to anything you want with no additional loss of quality that you would get from transcode betwen lossy formats
03:55:07lostlogic(that is what I do)
03:55:15lostlogic(I put ogg q7 on ipod and flac on pc)
03:55:28Mouser_XI'd go with lostlogic on that one.
03:55:30DogBoythat's what I do too but I use musepack 7
03:55:34DarkDaemonMouser_X, thats not a big problem for me. i dont listen to music during school and sutff but when i do listen it, i like higher quality
03:55:47Mouser_XWell then, go for it.

04:55:47emeralddI've never made it there, but I've told many a machine that it lived there to get the right time zone ;)
04:55:52lostlogicok, so why does it hop back out after just one track of buffering?
04:56:02lostlogicemeraldd: yeah, I tell machins I live in LA ;)
04:56:30lostlogicI bought a car from a guy in Dallas once... and drove it back to Chicago :)

04:57:22lostlogicit's not the same problem as it used to be, it just moved
04:57:32lostlogicemeraldd: I did it straight other than a short roadside nap ;)

05:28:30tihoc4nHi, Just noticed one of the updates on the HomePage, about the powerdown HDD. - How much is the batterylife expected to improve because of this?
05:28:51Mouser_Xtihoc4n: No idea.
05:29:08Mouser_XNo one has done enough battery benches to give any kind of indication.
05:29:09lostlogictihoc4n: should now be better than the apple firmware, according to amiconn
05:29:25lostlogictihoc4n: but like Mouser_X says, we really don't know, why don't you test it :):)
05:29:57lostlogicemeraldd: why? why is it zero?

05:30:34lostlogicoh, I know why it's zero

05:32:50lostlogicemeraldd: I'm pretty sure it will then work, but that's not the right solution
05:33:06lostlogicemeraldd: also, you can take out the LOGFQUEUE_SYS_TIMEOUT

06:46:33lostlogicI feel like I've exhausted 3 testers on this bug now
06:46:43lostlogic:)
06:47:01emeraldd;)
06:47:01hcsso the root of the issue was that someone thought flash access was instantaneous?
06:47:05emeralddit's been fun
06:47:19lostlogicfwiw, I'm also going to commit some other fixage that should make it not need that fixage... in a bit
06:47:20hcsprecognitive, even?
06:47:36lostlogichcs: loosely yeah basically didn't fully look at the side effects of setting the watermark to zero
06:47:40lostlogicie it will never fill
06:48:10lostlogicI'm considering adding an explicit minimum watermark of CONF_FILECHUNK into the buffering side so that it protects itself from idiot clients
06:48:23emeralddthat would be a good idea
06:48:29emeraldddeals with broken codec's as well
06:48:33lostlogicemeraldd: good point.
06:48:44lostlogicalways good to protect oneself from those.
06:49:35emeraldda logf for the bad watermark would probably be a good idea,

08:16:28aminwhat did u use ?
08:17:49Lloreanamin: "Untagged" under "Artist" would mean they don't have the artist tag, "Untagged" under track would mean they don't have the title tag, I think.

08:21:14MrRichardIf my database will not initialise [ie gets stuck on 'found... 0'], and we'll assume it's because of some crazy tag; if I remove the file with the malevolent tag, will my database work, or will I have to reformat entirely?

09:41:08MrRichardThat's similar to what I'm doing. But I'll try that now.

09:55:31ddaltonand configurable buttons won't be accepted...
09:55:34MrRichardDatabase info states "DB Ready: No" "Progress: -1% (0 entries)" and "RAM Cache: No" Anyone have /any/ idea what may eb causing this?
09:55:42Calcipherddalton• I understand, thats why I'm suggesting having the items that are included on the "speak wps" function be pre selected from a list of information you want it to read each time
09:56:07 Part J-23
09:56:30Calcipherso if you want it to read name, elapsed/duration, artist, album, next
09:56:52ddaltonCalcipher: Hang on. How many settings do you want!
09:56:57Calcipheror any combination of possible items that you can set in settings
09:58:13Calcipherddalton• what do you think about that idea? that way if you want less information you can specify what fields it looks to read to you on wps
09:58:20MrRichardI only have a quarter of my library left on the device now ...
09:58:36MrRichardShould I have Load to RAM selected?
09:59:15ddaltonCalcipher: I would say. Just speak the elapsed time and length. You can go to track info for more information...
09:59:16Calcipherddalton• its almost like a configurable alternate voice driven wps if you think about how different wps will display different information
09:59:36ddaltonhave you seen sdoyon's patch (in 6323?)
09:59:40ddaltonid3 info voicing.
10:00
10:00:08Calcipherno I haven'te
10:00:19ddaltoncheck it out.
10:00:35MrRichardif I delete the .playlist_control file in .rockbox, will it delete any playlists I have made?
10:00:40CalcipherI have never tried any patches, don't even know how to install them yet
10:01:14ddaltonyou need to setup your build environment. worth doing.
10:01:20ddaltonbut just read the description.
10:01:23MrRichardI struggled with patching
10:01:26MrRichardToo many errors...
10:01:49ddaltonnot if they have been resynced
10:02:01ddaltonI guess it helps me that I understand how to resync them...
10:03:18Calcipherhmm
10:03:34ddaltonso you can get more info that way. But for quick info maybe this one...
10:03:42aminany one know some other site for themes except http://www.rockbox-themes.org/
10:03:47ddaltonlet me write one up for the wps and you can tell me what you think.
10:03:57ddaltonI just need to figure out how to find the elapsed time...
10:08:15MrRichardOh man. I've basically emptied my library and still database won't work...
10:08:53CalcipherI personally only see that time function useful if your listening to a long file like an audiobook or cast
10:09:40ddaltonwell. 1. To configurable. 2. Lots info at once isn't good
10:09:44ddaltonof
10:09:53 Quit Bagder ("*plopp*")
10:11:04Calciphertoo configurable?
10:11:19ddaltonyes. we don't like lots of settings in rockbox. :-)
10:11:37ddaltonask JdGordon why
10:11:43Calcipherhaha
10:12:11Calcipherwell its not like its up to me anyway
10:12:49CalcipherI've never used any of those patches, I noticed there are a few interesting ones added by stephan doyon
10:13:09ddaltonok going for dinner. ill see if I can write up a patch. But very busy tonight.
10:13:12MrRichardI give up
10:13:16MrRichardIm reformatting
10:13:37ddaltonget your dev environment working first because you will need it to test this out if I write it
10:15:23MrRichardWhile I'm reformatting, can anyone recommend a good .flac ripper/converter

10:23:28JdGordonim not really sure how far to take it.. custom icons and colours i guess
10:23:36linuxstbJdGordon: IMO we want it to be as configurable as possible. But at the very least, I think we need custom height, colours (fg/bg), and ability to display info as either text or icons.
10:23:41CalcipherJdGordon• also, have you looked at any of the earlier comments on the recent voice feature request I made?
10:24:07JdGordonno
10:24:20Calciphernice, I would love a more visible status bar
10:24:41linuxstbAre there any E200 users running the Rockbox bootloader instead of the Sansa bootloader? (sansapatcher -bl option) If so, is it working well?
10:24:42Calcipherso allowing configurability will make that possible
10:25:01JdGordonlinuxstb: i am... almost no speed difference, but it does work fine
10:25:13linuxstbJdGordon: Have you lost recovery mode?
10:25:20JdGordoni dont tihnk so
10:25:27*JdGordon will check
10:25:57linuxstbI'm thinking it may be nice to make that the default install method.
10:25:57CalcipherI don't even remember what bootloader I'm using.

10:26:38JdGordonlinuxstb: yeah, looks like I have lost recovery...
10:26:45linuxstbIt would also make it easy to extend e200rpatcher to install the bootloader - it will simply need to embed a bootloader image in the uploaded application, and write it to the start of the firmware partition.
10:27:06linuxstbJdGordon: OK, that makes sense - it seems recovery mode is a feature of the sandisk bootloader.
10:27:18Bagderit is, yes
10:27:22JdGordonwe dont really need rec mode though do we?
10:27:43linuxstb_we_ don't, but users seem to find a way to need it...
10:28:30linuxstbAlthough most problems seem to be caused by people doing wrong things in recovery mode, so disabling it might actually help ;)
10:29:30JdGordonhaah yeah

10:37:23JdGordonBagder: I tihnk we are about the same point with the mr500 that the e200 was when we started offering svn builds... doom works!
10:37:32Bagderyay!
10:37:50*linuxstb begs that we write documentation before announcing it's supported and offering downloads
10:37:50Bagderso you want mr500 builds added to the build and daily tables?
10:38:11Bagderyeah, but we can add it to the build table anyway, just not providing any zips
10:38:14JdGordonwould be nice.. but actually i tihnk linuxstb has a good point
10:38:35linuxstbIt still had a few warnings last time I built it (yesterday)
10:38:45*JdGordon looking to hopefully get help writing the touchpad code for all the screens :p
10:38:50JdGordonyeah, they can be cleaned up
10:39:02JdGordonBagder: no need for a bootloader build if you do add them
10:39:09Bagderhaving it in the build table usually helps cleaning up the warnings ;-)
10:39:09linuxstbWhat does installation involve for the mr500?
10:39:20Bagderso a sim and a normal build then
10:39:34JdGordonits not a simple install proccess yet :(
10:39:37linuxstbJdGordon: Why don't you need a bootloader build?
10:39:50JdGordonthe OF loads the main rockbox binary
10:39:58linuxstbThat's friendly of it...
10:40:05JdGordonyou needs to install a hacked OF first
10:40:13linuxstbOuch...
10:40:19JdGordonthen create a remix thing which then gets replaced with a hacked .svg
10:40:33Calciphernight folks
10:41:00Calcipherthat sounds like the process for the linux install on the mrobe
10:41:04ddaltonJdGordon: if you get them can you send them to me?
10:41:31linuxstbHow is the OF hacked? Is there a tool available to patch it, or do you just download it from somewhere?
10:41:36JdGordononly certain peo[ple got them
10:41:51JdGordonIm not sure
10:42:01JdGordoneigima and kkurbjun will know about that more than me
10:42:01ddaltonJdGordon: who has them? how can I get them?
10:42:10*JdGordon not sure who has them
10:42:18linuxstbJdGordon: So presumably you were given a copy of the hacked firmware to install?
10:42:23JdGordonwhy do you want them? you really think you'll be able to do anything usefull with them?>

10:47:06JdGordonyou dont want to fix it? its annoying :p
10:47:28Bagderreally, the column order in the delta table is meant to be controlled by a sort order table, but it bugs
10:47:44Bagderthe order of the columns in the main build table is simply alphabetical
10:47:49Bagderof the full build name
10:47:55linuxstbJdGordon: Are you sure the m:robe OF is hacked? I've just been reading about the Linux installation, and my first impression is that it's a specific version of the OF, which has a known exploit.
10:48:18linuxstb(I could be wrong...)
10:48:26JdGordonI'm pretty sure its hacked.... but yeah, i cant really remember
10:49:11linuxstbIf it's hacked, then I can't see why we can't just modify it to insert our bootloader code into the image.
10:50:04JdGordonwe havnt got up to that yet.. but that is the plan

13:33:58JdGordoni tihnk list_do_Action is supposed to call that automatically

14:08:36amiconnjhMikeS: The PP5022 (and I'm quite sure the PP5020 too) also has the GPIO interrupts split like what you defined for PP5024 - and there's GPIO2_INT in addition to GPIO0_INT and GPIO1_INT
14:08:56amiconn0 is for GPIO A..D, 1 for E..H and 2 for I..L
14:09:20amiconnI'll move that to pp5020.h - but then pp5024.h becomes useless. Should I remove it?

15:50:38bertriklostlogic: what was the root cause of the bug?
15:51:00lostlogicthere wer at least two root causes either one of which would have kept it from working
15:51:33lostlogicthe first one that got fixed was a livelock between codec and buffering caused by a copied and not updated yield_codec implementation from pre-MoB world
15:52:07lostlogicthe second was a flash specific problem where the lack of disk spin-up time was assumed to allow a _zero_ buffer watermark as a legal value, which is clearly not reasonabl.
15:52:52lostlogicalong the way a good half dozen or more other minor race conditions that were recoverable on other targets were resolved... each time with me thinking it would kill that bug *sigh*
15:53:11bertrikah, I noticed that usefl didn't drain all the way to 0 indeed
15:53:31bertrikwell, nice to have them fixed too
15:53:50lostlogicneither buffer should ever reach zero, if they do they aren't really doing their buffering job

17:00
17:02:20Soapamiconn: If you don't mind spending the time answering - why did the H10 already have disk poweroff, when the iPods didn't? Was it a previously REd find, or does the H10 not use the same PP ATA as the iPods?
17:03:32amiconnDisk poweroff is not handled by the ata controller, but via gpio ports
17:03:43amiconnAnd the ipods use different ports than the H10
17:04:00amiconnThe G5 even uses a port that wasn't know at all before last week
17:05:49Buschelbtw, the current runtime measurements show savings of ~8mA through the disk poweroff
17:06:08Buschelexpected more from the HDD's datasheet
17:06:19Soapwhat was the power consumption before disk poweroff?
17:06:36Buschel~50mA on ipod video 5.5G

17:09:56WalterEgoThanks. Man I wish I could understand those registers and assembly stuff and find out about how to turn off features 'cause, really, two-three hours battery life and no (useable) EQ makes for a rather poor H10 port.. YET, I can't live without crossfeed. That feature alone is worth using rockbox for (like, thanks whomever got it in!!).

17:10:57Buschel5.5G 30GB's runtime should now go up to ~9.5h (~8h before)

17:14:28amiconnWe need to learn how to init it properly. And I have the strong suspicion that this would help us solving the Nano problems
17:14:28Buschelhmm, do we know if switching it off may also save some more power?

20:48:19roolkuSlasheri: what do you think about the idea to fill in the runtime info from get_metadata (FS #8082)
20:48:54Slasherihmm, i will check that
20:51:53Slasheriroolku: that looks like a good idea, i don't think it will cause troubles
20:52:35roolkuit's a shame it causes a special case for HWCODEC though
20:52:40Slasherias long as tagcache generator doesn't lock up :)
20:52:53Slasherihmm, it does?
20:53:15roolkuas far as I know HWCODEC doesn't use get_metadata
20:53:37roolkuso I left the callback function for HWCODEC
20:53:58Slasherihmm, really? if it still uses direct mp3 metadata callbacks, i think it should be converted to use get_metadata
20:54:10Slasheribecause that is compiled for hwcodec too, iirc
20:54:27roolkuhm, maybe I am mistaken
20:54:45Slasheriwell, i don't know about that :)
20:54:55LearI think buffering in mpeg.c doesn't use get_metadata, but the tagcache would still use it.
20:55:02roolkuI thought it only used the function in id3.c
20:57:06Slasheriyep, it has a few mp3info callbacks
20:57:17Slasheribut it seems quite straightforward to convert those to use get_metadata
20:57:27Slasheriall the structs are the same
20:59:12roolkubut that would mean that firmware code calls application code, wouldn't it? I thought this was a no-no?
21:00
21:00:30Slasheriah, hmm. that is true. But it will be calling application code anyway, through those callbacks
21:01:13LearYes, but callbacks are another thing. If they are registered by app code, that's ok.
21:01:16roolkuyes, I never quite got this policy - that it was okay to use callbacks
21:02:08Slasherione solution would be to create a get_metadata callback for the hwcodec
21:02:23LearSometimes firmware code has to call app code, no way around it. Callbacks avoid direct dependencies.
21:02:33roolkuit seems a bit longwinded to introduce callbacks for get_metadata, but yes, it would be a solution
21:02:34Slasherithat is probably because firmware part should be independent from app code while compiling

21:58:48Calcipherwhat do you guys think of having an option under voice section that allows using a quick press of the rec button to read the current focused item to the user, when in menus, file browsing, wps and where ever voice reading functionality can be applied?
21:58:56CalcipherI was looking at the manual and noticed the mahor function of the rec button is a long press to get to record mode
21:59:16Calcipheras for the sansa e200 series players for example
22:00
22:00:53BigBambiCalcipher: What would you do for players without that button? Why not just have it read the currently selected item?
22:01:06 Quit Shagnar ()
22:05:10Calcipherwell I don't know other targets since I only own a sansa e280r, but being able to be prompted where you are on the player is a huge improvement, because using the interface without only voice output, this would add a more intuitive way of knowing whats going on
22:05:43Calcipherwithout having to change your focus or leave a menu or screen like the wps screen
22:06:23BigBambiBut voice tells you where you are now (or so I thought)
22:06:36CalcipherI have a friend who is a blind rb user and he thought it would be a very helpful option as wel
22:06:54BigBambiSo how would that work in WPS? There sin't a focussed item
22:06:58BigBambi*isn't
22:07:29Calcipheryeah I know, so in wps the voice reading ability would need to be added
22:07:48BigBambiBut how would you know what to voice?
22:07:51CalcipherI guess thats the most important section

22:08:51Shagnardoes anybody know what the "Sunny 546" oscillator chip is?
22:09:01Calcipherwell ddalton suggested a list view that you could scroll through and have different fields read from each
22:09:17BigBambiHow would that work?
22:09:25CalcipherI guess with a tag like "By : artist"
22:09:56BigBambiSo add a complete duplicate set of tag to the WPS parsing as essentially voice tags?
22:10:01Calcipherand next line you can scroll to "from : album:
22:10:36Calcipherwell are wps read at all?
22:10:57BigBambiNot that I know of, but I don't use voice
22:11:06CalcipherI just mean if its going to read an item, it should indicate what field its reading from
22:11:11 Quit gufaway ("So Long, and Thanks For All the Fish - http://gufo.wordpress.com")
22:11:38BigBambiAgain, I come back to how
22:11:53CalcipherGuessing the most intuitive first available item to be read would be simply the current song title
22:12:12BigBambiThis is almost getting back to the reading out of order argument
22:12:31BigBambiVoice should always voice in the same order as on screen, otherwise it is confusing
22:12:42Calcipherwell as a menu that can be accessed from the wps?
22:12:48BigBambithis leads to a problem with WPS, as graphical info can't easily be voiced
22:13:07Calcipheryeah
22:13:25BigBambiThere is already the tag info screen
22:13:27CalcipherI see so just have it read whatever order the wps displays its info
22:13:34BigBambiFrom the context menu
22:13:51BigBambiWhat about conditionals in that case?
22:14:00BigBambiIs the tag screen voiced?
22:14:17Calcipherlet me check
22:15:50Calcipherno
22:16:21BigBambiSo the solution to me seems to be voice that screen - much easier than than trying to do the WPS
22:16:36BigBambiThen all that is left is track position etc
22:17:17BigBambiPerhaps that screen could be expanded (or another devised) that had playlist position, track position etc
22:17:42BigBambiAs I would imagine that things like conditionals would make the WPS extremely hard to voice
22:17:43Calcipheryeah
22:18:49Calcipherit just seemed to me having a preset items to include for reading, regardless of wps, if thats easier
22:19:10BigBambiI would not want to voice things independant of what is on screen
22:19:25BigBambiThere are plenty of sighted people who use voice and that would be plain confusing
22:19:26Calcipherso if you selected that the voice wps function would only include title artist album next
22:19:41Calcipherthats all it would ever read on the quick key press if enabled
22:20:21CalcipherI see
22:20:42CalcipherI was just looking for a one button press way to hear whats on the wps

22:24:08CalcipherBigBambi• do you see what I'm trying to achieve atleast? simply a quick button press read of whats playing
22:24:49Calcipherddalton says that too much info being read is no good, and I agree, but wouldn't the amount of info depend on the wps your using?
22:24:59BigBambiCalcipher: Sure, I see what you are getting out. I'm just playing devils advocate. Plenty of players don't have the free button to press, and I don't like voicing things not on screen
22:25:33BigBambiCalcipher: Yeah, but how would you deal with a conditional that displayed next track then next artist for 2 seconds each?
22:25:52 Quit Domonoky (Read error: 110 (Connection timed out))
22:26:15BigBambiHence I would prefer something like a screen accesible from WPS quick screen that just listed e.g. track, artist, position, whatever that could be read like a normal screen
22:27:22CalcipherI guess treat the conditionals as if they were on an ordered list? I'm trying here, I'm not familiar with how these functions work in the first place, thats why I welcome constructive feed back
22:27:52BigBambiCalcipher: It is all possible I guess, but difficult
22:28:09Calcipherthat sounds good too
22:28:44BigBambiI can see the advantage of voicing what is on the WPS, but jut wonder if the aim could be achieved more easily on a slightly different tack
22:29:09Calcipherso if it was a different screen that was accessible, I guess it can be possible to have the items to be included or excluded on this screen be configurable, right?
22:29:18BigBambiAnything is possible :)
22:29:37BigBambiYou would just have to persuade the powers that be that it is a good idea :)
22:29:43Calcipherso it basically be a list of fields, that you set in settings somewhere
22:29:56Calcipherhaha
22:30:21BigBambiThat would be my idea on the spot with no thinking about it. A blind WPS as it were
22:31:10BigBambiYou could write a BWPS that on each line just had e.g. track, artist, position, .... that then displays and is read like a list
22:31:11preglowNico_P: why isn'
22:31:15Calcipherwell I have been discussing different ways of achieving some kind accessible wps like interface since I made that feature request, hopefully any heads interested will see some of the good ideas mentioned on the logs
22:31:26preglowNico_P: why isn't metadata stripped from files in the buffer anymore?
22:31:34Calcipherand they're more qualified on deciding what works best
22:31:39BigBambiindeed
22:31:39preglowNico_P: that will indeed break gapless for mp3
22:32:27Nico_Ppreglow: because the function that did it wasn't trivial to adapt to the buffering code and a FIXME in it said it should be moved to metadata.c and made more generic
22:32:54Nico_PI didn't see any huge breakage from not porting it and then kinda forgot about the issue

23:08:30lostlogichmm, now I'm confused... how can the decoder correctly ignore the id3v2 tag stored at the beginning of the file but not the id3v1 or ape tags at the end?
23:09:23Buschelamiconn: there you can see what's happening if you're using the wrong format ;)
23:09:55amiconnlostlogic: The metadata reader doesn't know about an id3v1 tag at the end *if* id3v2 has priority and exists
23:10:10amiconnThen it doesn't check for id3v1, saving a (costly) seek
23:11:31lostlogicamiconn: but do the codecs even use the metadata reader? I'm trying to figure out how when the codec fires up it knows to skip past the id3v2 data at the beginning (up to 256mb of it according tot he spec)
23:12:15amiconnAfaik the track loader doesn't load the id3v2 data, as the start of the actual audio data in the file is already known

23:26:33lostlogicCaleb: use foobar2000 or easytag or some other such program to make them consistent
23:26:59Calebwouldnt i have to manually edit them with easytag?

23:34:45lostlogicmguay: what's special abou tthe files that still freeze... and I assume you are running absolute latest build?
23:34:58Buschelsoap: but i want to have the _real_ runtime in total. for estimation of current consumption the first2 or 3 hours are enough
23:35:18Buschelbtw, ipod did shut down now -> 10:28h runtime
23:35:46amiconnSoap: I don't think a 90-10 curve tells more. It's rather imprecise compared with the full 100-0
23:36:05 Join random_desu_is_s [0] (n=chatzill@inet-out.dsl-nat.sura.ru)
23:36:47Soapamiconn: the 90-10 discharge time removes much of the variability caused by battery aging (which makes the peak voltage drop faster) and the +-5% dips and spikes caused by a late HDD spin-up.
23:37:22amiconnImho the opposite is true. How do you tell when you're at 90%, or 10%?
23:38:03amiconnIf you use the discharge curve, you put much more uncertainty on this than if you just let it run until it shuts down
23:38:04 Quit random_desu_is_s (Read error: 104 (Connection reset by peer))
23:38:13SoapI'm not sure I am following the question - but I think you are saying that the 90% and 10% voltage numbers are arbitrary and thus my reasoning is flawed?
23:38:47amiconnThe voltages aren't arbitrary, but they just represent the *average* battery at an *average* temperature
23:39:08SoapI follow so far.
23:39:12amiconnAnd the discharge curve is much more steep at theirs ends than somewhere inbetween
23:39:43SoapIt is that steep part of the curve I am trying to trim out. Isn't that non-linear part more noise than signal?
23:39:56 Quit mguay ("CGI:IRC (Ping timeout)")
23:40:07Buschelamiconn: so, at a result your HDD poweroff saves 8mA (for my usecase)
23:40:18amiconnStill not bad...
23:40:19Buschel*as
23:40:38Buschelno, it's really good progress!
23:40:39SoapIsn't it that part of the discharge curve which varies more by age, (last) charging conditions, and spikes in power consumption?
23:40:47amiconnThe typical saving from hdd poweroff obviously depends on the generation as well as on the size

23:41:03amiconnOn my 2nd gen, the hdd draws ~15mA when in standby
23:41:15amiconnBut that's an MK2003GAH
23:41:42amiconn(and rockbox has hdd poweroff on 1st..3rd gen for some months now)
23:42:05*amiconn should really do a battery bench on mini 2nd gen
23:42:31amiconnI'm curious how much standby current this microdrive needed...
23:42:53Buschelamiconn: the MK3008GAL should draw 21mA in sleep and 36mA in standby by specification. it seems to be much better than that...
23:43:36amiconnWell, these are the worst-case values according to the datasheet I presume?
23:43:49amiconnI'd expect typical values to be better
23:45:13preglowwe removed the disk poweroff setting, yes?

23:45:46pixelmaroolku: in your last commit you mentioned something about the gather runtime feature on hwcodec. Did you actually take a look into the code or is that what you assumed? I'm wondering because it doesn't gather anything on my Ondio...
23:45:52linuxstblostlogic: (if you're still wondering) The codecs skip id3v2 tags at the start based on the id3->first_frame_offset value set by get_metadata()
