#rockbox log for 2007-11-05

00:00:11lostlogiclinuxstb: yeah, I can't see why a seek would be a problem
00:00:28linuxstbIs there any difference between a seek_buffer and an advance_buffer?
00:00:36lostlogiclinuxstb: I was just going to look :-D
00:00:57lostlogiclinuxstb: from the beginning of a file no
00:01:04lostlogicseek => absolute, advance => relative
00:01:23roolkupixelma: I can only assume that the second (or both) are not called on HWCODEC - the code for registering the callbacks is the same
00:01:33 Quit bertrik ("bye")
00:01:34amiconnWhy is the metadata (before the audio) loaded at all as part of the audio?
00:01:47lostlogicamiconn: because the buffering api is stupid
00:01:51amiconnSeems like a waste to me.
00:02:07amiconnThe metadata reader already determined how much metadata is there
00:02:19lostlogicI suppose that TYPE_*_AUDIO types it could do special handling on but that seems to defeat the purpose of the bufferin gapi
00:02:26lostlogic'course it already does special handling for some frew things
00:02:32amiconnThis method will cause serious problems on low-mem targets
00:02:40linuxstbThe buffering api could just take account of first_frame_offset
00:02:50amiconnThe metadata can easily be larger than the whole buffer
00:03:08*amiconn remembers this weird track with 100 copies of the same jpeg attached
00:03:11lostlogicamiconn: yeah, I gathered from reading the id3 specs
00:03:15amiconn3MB of id3v2
00:03:15roolkupixelma: can you set a rating? This should be independent of the callback (IIRC)

00:03:36cheesenuggetthey guys
00:03:42cheesenuggetti need some help pretty badly
00:03:51lostlogicamiconn: yeah, that could work fine for leading tags but any ideas for trailing tags?
00:04:01linuxstbThe WMA metadata parser also sets first_frame_offset, not to skip an id3v2 tag, but to skip the ASF header (which includes ASF metadata). The WMA codec itself doesn't need it.
00:04:19amiconnTrailing tags can't be determined beforehand, if we don't want that wasteful seek
00:04:25cheesenuggettanyone down?
00:04:35Bagdercheesenuggett: just ask
00:04:41cheesenuggettok, i just wanted to make sure
00:05:04linuxstbamiconn: Is it really that wasteful, considering that Rockbox is about to read a few MB of data from the disk?
00:05:05pixelmaroolku: doesn't seem like it (or the keymap is broken on Ondio). I see the option in the WPS context menu but what I assumed would lead me to some kind of submenu (prssing "right") doesn't do anything.
00:05:07cheesenuggettso, i have a gigabeat f series, first attempt at installing the rockbox
00:05:11amiconnlostlogic: Why would it defeat the purpose of the buffering api? Buffering a file starting at a certain position >0 sounds like a pretty generic feature to mne
00:05:28cheesenuggetti just ran the rockbox utility complete install
00:05:29lostlogicamiconn: yeah, actually it already has that feature
00:05:30cheesenuggettit seemed fine
00:05:38cheesenuggettbut now my mp3 player wont work
00:05:40lostlogiccan be told to start from an offset on any file
00:05:52lostlogicI'm just tryign to work out the implications of using it to skip metadata
00:05:54amiconnlinuxstb: The seek happens in addition to the read.
00:05:55lostlogicI think it might work just as is
00:06:08cheesenuggetti can still plug in to the USB with the power cord
00:06:09roolkupixelma: there isn't a submenu - the number in the entry should increase when you press right
00:06:15amiconnAnd trailing tags are usually small
00:06:21cheesenuggettbut other wise it says it cant read
00:06:25pixelmaroolku: it stays at 0...
00:06:26lostlogicamiconn: yeah, but they are breaking gapless atm :)
00:06:27amiconnid3v1 is just 128 bytes irrc
00:06:31lostlogicyep
00:06:34safetydan cheesenuggett, what do you mean wont work? Does it start at all, is there anything on the screen?
00:06:44roolkuhm, let me have a look at the code
00:06:59amiconnlostlogic: Why is that broken? It worked fine before MoB...
00:07:13cheesenuggettit says system error and shuts off
00:07:33lostlogicamiconn: prior to MoB the buffering thread would do the fiddling with teh tail of files after buffering them and adjust the file size to trim out the trailing tag
00:07:37safetydancheesenuggett: does it say that exactly or is their other text?
00:07:43lostlogicamiconn: that code was not moved into buffering.c because it really doesn't belong there
00:07:47amiconn...and I thought that it's afunction in the playback engine that skips trailing tags
00:07:55cheesenuggettit says exactly that and then an error code in the top left of a boc
00:08:21cheesenuggett0000020 is the error
00:08:30*amiconn thinks that trailing tags are a fundamental design mistake
00:08:42amiconnBut they exist, and we have to deal with them :/
00:08:45cheesenuggettit can still connect USB to my computer
00:09:18linuxstbcheesenuggett: And the USB connection is working - i.e. you can access the disk?

00:10:00pixelmaroolku: many thanks :) Currently I let music playing for a while and will see if there's any runtime listed
00:10:02lostlogicamiconn: yeah, they are a design mistake, and it was in playback.c to skip them but it was part of the buffering process and buffering.c did not inherit the functionality, nor did playback relocate it to a new functional place
00:10:28amiconnhmm
00:10:44linuxstbcheesenuggett: It sounds like the Toshiba original firmware is unhappy for some reason. If I was you, I would manually install the Rockbox bootloader - there should be instructions in the manual. (It's just downloading a file and copying it to your gigabeat)
00:10:54roolkupixelma: I have a suspicion that audio_current_track() might not work as expected on HWCODEC - that would explain the rating not increasing
00:11:12cheesenuggetti have that file
00:11:24cheesenuggettso i just extract it to the root folder correct?
00:12:10linuxstbcheesenuggett: The file is FWIMG01.DAT, which goes inside the GBSYSTEM/FWIMG/ folder
00:12:29pixelmaroolku: I'm not sure if it could help you but the logscrobbler support (which also didn't work in the beginning) was fixed a while ago
00:12:31cheesenuggetti dont know that folder
00:12:34cheesenuggetti havent seen it
00:12:44roolkupixelma: you could try the following experiment - export your modifications, and with a text editor change a few rating entries (remember the tracknames)
00:12:54linuxstbcheesenuggett: It's marked as hidden/system - you need to enable viewing of those files in explorer (assuming you're using Windows).
00:13:25roolkupixelma: then import the modified modifications and see if they are reflected in the WPS and or set rating menu

00:13:36cheesenuggetti formatted it a while ago, did that delete it?
00:13:47linuxstbYes, that would be the cause of your problem...
00:13:57cheesenuggetthow can i go about getting it back?
00:14:15pixelmaroolku: going to experiment
00:15:45cheesenuggettif it's even possible
00:15:59linuxstbcheesenuggett: I'm not sure... But if you're installing Rockbox, you can use the dummy version of that folder available here - http://www.rockbox.org/twiki/bin/viewfile/Main/GigabeatFXPort?rev=3;filename=GBSYSTEM.zip
00:16:30cheesenuggettso i just extract that to the root folder

00:19:06barrywardellamiconn: wrt GPO32, the comment in lcd-color-nano.c:108-109 suggests that GPO32 also has an enable register. is that accurate?
00:19:19linuxstbhttp://download.rockbox.org/bootloader/gigabeat/FWIMG01.DAT
00:19:29pixelmaroolku: I played 3 or 4 complete songs after reenabling the gather runtime data feature.
00:19:34roolkupixelma: hm, it seem to only export entries that actually contain modifications - let me check
00:19:45amiconnbarrywardell: Hmm, possible
00:19:48cheesenuggettthank you very much for your help
00:20:12*amiconn wonders why it's called 'D01' there
00:20:47cheesenuggettgrrrrr same thing
00:21:09linuxstbcheesenuggett: You put FWIMG01.DAT in GBSYSTEM/FWIMG/ ?
00:21:26cheesenuggettyes
00:22:37barrywardellamiconn: svn blames linuxstb, but I suspect it was just copied from ipodlinux
00:23:04linuxstbMost of my code is copied from somewhere...
00:23:29 Part tihoc4n
00:23:34cheesenuggetti did a google search and someone on a forum had the same problem, what he did was use the gigabeat formatting utility and it came back
00:23:57linuxstbcheesenuggett: Then you could try that. I've run out of ideas - I've never had that problem with my gigabeat.
00:24:11cheesenuggettdang it says access denied
00:24:15cheesenuggettthis is pretty awful
00:24:31linuxstbWas it working before you tried to install Rockbox?
00:24:40cheesenuggettyes
00:25:14Calebthis is gay
00:25:19cheesenuggettis it bricked?
00:25:21Calebchose a theme and now i can see shit lol
00:25:57linuxstbcheesenuggett: If it turns on, it's not bricked... What is saying "access denied" ?
00:26:13cheesenuggettthe formatting utility was
00:26:15cheesenuggettnow it isnt
00:26:25cheesenuggettthanks again, and also for being so patient

00:28:18linuxstbbarrywardell: What do you think about making the "sansapatcher -bl" installation the default? I thought it was a good idea until I realised it means you lose recovery mode....
00:28:36barrywardellhmmm. D01 enable = 0x21000200, while D01 = 0x20000000
00:29:00barrywardelllinuxstb: I like the idea. With a couple of conditions
00:29:19barrywardell1) Bootloader USB mode would be nice (when Zagor has it ready)
00:29:56barrywardell2) A bootloader logo would also be nice (the reason for 7977)

00:40:07cheesenuggettlast time: linuxstb: thank you
00:40:10linuxstbcheesenuggett: I'm glad it's working.
00:40:23cheesenuggetti was afraid i just screwed it over for good
00:40:36linuxstbcheesenuggett: So you just needed to run the gigabeat formatting utility to restore it?
00:40:43cheesenuggettyeah
00:40:53cheesenuggettthat may come in handy for many a noob to come
00:41:23cheesenuggettbecause the gigabeat formatting software reinstalls all missing hidden files
00:41:38cheesenuggettwhen i formatted outside of the gigabeat one it deleted everything
00:41:45cheesenuggettis my guess*
00:41:54linuxstbYes, sounds right.
00:42:18linuxstbDid you format it before or after running Rockbox Utility?
00:42:18cheesenuggettrockbox sounds pretty terrific, im excited
00:42:24cheesenuggettafter
00:42:26roolkupixelma: thanks - I'll have a read
00:42:37cheesenuggettbecause it installed incorrectly

00:46:25TTThomas:-/ i dunno. it always shows up in mine.
00:46:54pixelmaroolku: what do I have to place for the genre tag if isn't tagged, <untagged> or ""?
00:46:58linuxstbbarrywardell: Your patch appears to deal with remote bitmaps in the Makefile, but show_logo() isn't displaying a logo on the remote....
00:49:22barrywardelllinuxstb: I didn't give much consideration to the remotes since I don't have a target that has one. the remote stuff in the makefile was just copied from the apps version without too much thought.
00:49:28 Quit zicho (Remote closed the connection)
00:49:35barrywardelldo we want the logo shown on the remote?
00:50:45barrywardellor maybe I should just remove that stuff from the Makefile

01:37:13pixelmaroolku: hmmno, I didn't. That's the first thing I'll look at when extracting the new build is done
01:37:49vitaminxsry, anybody knows if there is *some* linux support for the kenwood hd20ga7 mp3-player anywhere?
01:38:09roolkuI need to sleep now - I'll read the log in the morning

01:39:41pixelmaJdGordon: is it currently? And I think if it is settable it should be on the screen somewhere - I only know that on the Archos you can set the average quality (the MAS records to vbr files) and it is there. But I'm not a big taper or so, you should probably ask petur
01:40:35linuxstbvitaminx: No. But I think the hd20ga7 is very similar to the Gigabeat F, so you might be able to port Rockbox to it relatively easily...
01:40:58JdGordonpixelma: ok, i thought you were a taper...
01:41:16pixelmaah, and on Archos the quality is shown in the statusbar.
01:41:37JdGordonthe freq and bitrate are both shown and both are going to be annoying :p
01:41:58linuxstbJdGordon: I remember that being discussed in the past - recorders are very keen on packing as much info as possible into the recording screen, and will probably shout loudly if you remove features...
01:42:23JdGordonyeah :'(
01:42:28pixelmaroolku: (for the logs) the rating is now shown in the WPS context menu and I can set it! :D
01:43:03linuxstbJdGordon: Is the same function used to display the status bar in the recording screen as in the rest of Rockbox?
01:43:11JdGordonyes
01:43:29JdGordonI might split it though so the rec SB doesnt change
01:43:58*JdGordon not sure how best to do this :p... and has exams he best study for
01:45:34pixelmaJdGordon: the so-called "REP" comes with a much more full packed screen. I only saw a screenshot once and I can only remember thinking I would likely be lost there...
01:46:39amiconnJdGordon: Why do you want to split the statusbar drawing?
01:48:34pixelmaif I read his comments correctly it has to do with his customising statusbar proposal

02:00:08*amiconn thinks that fixing the rec screen should be more important than a customisable status bar
02:00:48JdGordonyeah.. probably.. but /me never uses that screen so meh :p
02:00:54pixelmaroolku: the two tracks that were edited show different numbers as if it worked with the trick before too (looking at "most played") but now it works for the rest too
02:01:28kugelHey, now that you've changed the e200 keymap, isn't it a good point to change the keymap of the text editor/keyboard screen to?

02:07:20tkoodacan someone please recomend what used digitial audio player I should purchase? -I'll only be using it in my car for ~2-6 hour trips. ~4GB shoud suffice, car/usb power, mp3/aac/vorbis, nothing fancy. no nice interfae required. usb(2?) to load the audio.
02:08:01tkooda(for use with rockbox)
02:09:42tkoodanobody has a recomendation of what I should get to run rockbox on?
02:09:59kugelI'd say sansa

02:11:59tkoodathnx pix
02:12:53kugelAAC plays fine
02:13:04TTThomasdoes flac murder battery life on flash based storage? or just hdd based?
02:13:06pixelmait's missing the c200 but that has only a maximum of 2GB internal memory and the microSD support isn't ready yet
02:13:08kugelI don't use vorbis or flac
02:13:22tkoodawhat are the basic limitations that some players can do over others? (as far as the rockbox software is concerned? -some can't do flac/aac?)
02:13:38kugelbut I recall a table which stated how well codecs on which targeds do
02:13:40tkoodacan any sansa do microsd?
02:13:44tkooda(currently)
02:13:46kugelsure
02:14:07linuxstbTTThomas: I wouldn't say FLAC murders battery life. It's very efficient CPU-wise, so that helps compensate for the more frequent disk accesses.
02:14:15tkoodaso, if I get a small sansa (~1-2GB), I'd be able to add a ~8GB(?) microSD later?
02:15:12TTThomaslinuxstb: i had a couple flac albums on my gigabeat. didnt have good luck with the battery life
02:15:19linuxstbI would also suggest the Gigabeat F20 - it's also cheap, and has a fast CPU, so can play some very CPU intensive codecs (e.g. HE-AAC, APE) that other targets can't handle.
02:15:22pixelmatkooda: with the e200 you could already do that, it will hopefully come later on the c200
02:15:37linuxstbTTThomas: I only use FLAC on my gigabeat, and have never run out of power...
02:15:42kugeltkooda: yea, it can eat up to 32BiB
02:15:42TTThomas:-/
02:15:44kugelGiB
02:15:57TTThomaswhich model?
02:16:12linuxstbAn F20 upgraded with an 80GB disk
02:16:17tkoodapixelma, aah.. thanks.. -so anone got any reason not to get a sansa e200, and a 4-8GB microSD?
02:16:30tkooda..for playing mp3/aac/flac/vorbis in a car
02:16:43tkooda(don't care about the interface or size)
02:16:46tkooda(just cost)
02:16:49TTThomasmine is an f40. any idea if they are very different?

02:20:19tkoodaa quick search for ~4GB microSD's found one for ~$35 (and I thought I saw an 8GB for not too much recently)
02:20:37linuxstbtkooda: You can only buy them used, but an F40 (40GB) can probably be found for around $100
02:21:07 Part pixelma

02:23:53tkoodais the 20GB model still called "F40"?
02:24:32linuxstbNo, 20GB is F20
02:25:55tkoodaare there any codec/other limitations of the F40?
02:26:17tkoodaany worry about skipping if in a car?
02:26:24lostlogicgoing to the recording screen breaks playback on my ipv, known?
02:26:30TTThomasi've never had it skip

05:22:33 Quit eigma ()
05:23:32TiMiD[FD]hmm
05:24:51TiMiD[FD]if I remember, it only happned in cases when I went previous by some tracks and then went t next tracks
05:24:56TiMiD[FD]...
05:25:12TiMiD[FD]that buffering code is getting pretty complicated
05:25:23TiMiD[FD]looks like a malloc
05:25:35lostlogichehe, in some ways it is one
05:25:50lostlogicat leaset it's not sitting around adding complexity to playback.c any more
05:25:59TiMiD[FD]I don't know if it's possible to have a track broken out in small chunks
05:26:06TiMiD[FD]yep
05:26:19TiMiD[FD]the most important is to have a clean API
05:26:24lostlogicTiMiD[FD]: not really −− codecs have widely varying needs for contiguous reeds
05:26:29TiMiD[FD]then what goes behind works or not ...
05:26:35lostlogicwe use the 'guardbuffer' to guaratee at least 32k contiguous read
05:26:44TiMiD[FD]ok
05:27:05 Quit bb_ (Read error: 110 (Connection timed out))
05:27:13TiMiD[FD]that's why it's so complex
05:28:06TiMiD[FD]with tracks broken up, it would maybe be easier (but I'm not really accurate in that area)
05:28:06lostlogicand relates to why 8092 is so goddamned frustrating
05:28:26TiMiD[FD]yeah
05:29:11TiMiD[FD]because when you go backwards the buffer needs to remain contiguous
05:29:45lostlogicyeah −− the old code just used a complete rebuffer in that situ, but even when I tried to do that I somehow failed, which is when I got bitter and threw the code at flyspray
05:30:07TiMiD[FD]maybe a "packet based" approach would be better
05:30:17TiMiD[FD]tracks would be splitted in small packets
05:31:01TiMiD[FD]and codecs would have to require next packet after they finish reading the information of one packet
05:31:03lostlogictoo hard to give codecs good memory without constant memcpy
05:31:24TiMiD[FD]codecs could read directly from the bufer data
05:31:35TiMiD[FD]looks somehow like a software mmu
05:31:38lostlogicno, because they need each frame to be contiguous
05:31:58TiMiD[FD]hmm
05:31:59TiMiD[FD]ok
05:32:03lostlogicso if the data is packeted they would need to copy the data they need to a temporary buffer each time they hit a packet boudary
05:32:04emeralddyou'd need a paging system
05:32:26lostlogicand this is why buffering is a 'plain' ring system with no fragmentation allowed ;)
05:32:35TiMiD[FD]ok good to know
05:32:56TiMiD[FD]is there a priority handling in the buffer ?
05:32:59lostlogicwith the plain ring, this only happens every 30m of data
05:33:04lostlogicTiMiD[FD]: nope, just a ring
05:33:11TiMiD[FD]like "this track is more important than this one" ?
05:33:23TiMiD[FD]hmm nevermind
05:34:03TiMiD[FD]would a code that "steals" the track before the data currenlty being read be difficult to implement ?
05:34:40lostlogicTiMiD[FD]: unfortunately yeah −− because before it could do that (in the current world) it would hafta tell the playback system that it was doing so
05:34:50TiMiD[FD]ok
05:34:53lostlogichmm... or maybe it wouldn't... hmmmmmm
05:34:58lostlogicnow that I'm thinking about it...
05:35:18lostlogicgah, but it would need to handle cases wher eit needs to fill up more than the immediately prior track's data space for the seek
05:35:27lostlogicso I think it's simpler just to force a full rebuffer... hmmmmm
05:35:38TiMiD[FD]so the playback system manages a list of the buffered tracks too ?
05:35:44 Quit RoC_MasterMind ("Leaving")
05:36:13TiMiD[FD]just my thought on this frustrating situation :)
05:36:26lostlogicyeah, I appreciate the thought
05:36:38TiMiD[FD]I'm a java programmer so I'm not very used to that kind of situations
05:36:43lostlogicbut yeah, there is some duplication of logic between the two both managing track lists
05:37:01emeralddJava has it's own kinds of memory issues :)
05:37:03lostlogicbut basically the playback system knows about an audio track, which generally includes between 2 and 3 buffer handles
05:37:16*lostlogic is a java programmer for his day job too
05:37:30lostlogicas we add things like album art, a track will know about more handles
05:37:35TiMiD[FD]hehe same here :)
05:37:40lostlogicthe buffer doesn't know about tracks, it only k nows about types of handles
05:37:50lostlogicit's an acceptable separation of logic, IMO
05:38:08lostlogicbut I do wish that there was a way for teh buffering system to "demand" the freeing of a specific track
05:38:11lostlogics/track/handle/
05:38:29TiMiD[FD]that would add complexity
05:38:48emeralddYou could add a lock to the handles,
05:38:50TiMiD[FD]i'm sure there is a simple solution
05:39:02emeralddthat would let you see which one is currently being used at that moment
05:39:11TiMiD[FD]btw
05:39:33TiMiD[FD]what happens when a codec reaches the end of the buffer ?
05:39:48TiMiD[FD]I mean can this situation happen ?
05:39:48lostlogicemeraldd: oh, I know which one is being used −− the one that I am holding a fscking seek request on is tha active one :-D
05:40:25TiMiD[FD]or does the playback engine requires the buffer filling when it detects the track's buffer is getting low
05:40:36lostlogicTiMiD[FD]: ie the end of the ring? that's what the guardbuffer is for −− for the current request, that wraps the buffer, we copy up-to 32k of data onto the guard buffer to give the codec a contiguous section of data satisfying its request
05:40:48lostlogicoh, sorry, answered wrong question.
05:41:04TiMiD[FD]still good to know
05:41:11lostlogicthere are two mechanisms that might trigger as a codec runs out of buffer.
05:41:41lostlogicthe one that's supposed to wrok is that the codec should have set a threshold with the buffering api that says "get more data if I run this low" at that threshold the buffering thread wakes up and starts filling the buffer
05:42:23lostlogicif that doesn't work (which is one of the bugs I've killed lately) then when the codec tries to request data that goes beyond the end of the buffer, the buffer then starts to fill
05:42:44TiMiD[FD]ok
05:43:00TiMiD[FD]the other one is when the buffer has to loop ?
05:43:02 Join hurr [0] (n=hurr@ppp121-44-249-191.lns4.mel4.internode.on.net)
05:43:25lostlogicthe "wrong answer" I gave above, yes.
05:43:30TiMiD[FD]ok
05:43:43TiMiD[FD]so basically every codec can work with 32kb of data
05:44:16TiMiD[FD]I mean a full frame could be fitted in 32kb for all supported codecs
05:44:26lostlogicall of 'em so far, other than ADX, which I believe hcs if fixing (because it's not a technical limitation, just a coding choice that makes it erquest more)
05:44:31lostlogicTiMiD[FD]: yeah
05:44:38TiMiD[FD]ok
05:45:01lostlogicthere are also a couple that require their full file, for which I added a TYPE_AUDIO_ATOMIC to buffering which forces those (small < 512k) files to be buffered without wrapping)
05:45:11lostlogicthose are NSF and SPC
05:45:17lostlogicand SID maybe too
05:45:20TiMiD[FD]ok
05:45:30Mouser_XMOD as well, if it ever gets supported.
05:45:37TiMiD[FD]so packet based approach could work in those cases
05:46:02TiMiD[FD]if packets are >=32kb
05:46:05 Join karashata [0] (n=Kimi@pool3-038.adsl.user.start.ca)
05:46:18TiMiD[FD]or if we make big packets for those special codecs
05:46:26lostlogicTiMiD[FD]: no, because the buffering code has no way to know where to put the packet boundaries
05:46:37lostlogicso it would still have to copy data around based on what the codec actually requests
05:46:38TiMiD[FD]uh ?
05:47:18lostlogicfor a VBR codec for instance, frame sizes will vary considerably within a single track
05:47:26TiMiD[FD]yep
05:47:32lostlogicso buffering has no way to know where to place the boundaries of packets so that they align with frame boundaries
05:47:53TiMiD[FD]isn't that the same in the case of the special ring end ?
05:48:42TiMiD[FD]hmm
05:48:44TiMiD[FD]forget it
05:49:05TiMiD[FD]in that case we know the start boundary
05:49:37TiMiD[FD]so apart doing a parser buffering engine the packet approach cannot work
05:50:02lostlogicyar
05:50:18lostlogicI mean _large_ packets might be practical (ie > 1mb)
05:50:53lostlogicbut then the smaller things that the buffering api handles would need to be coallesced tos hare packets
05:51:13TiMiD[FD]and having 1mb packets may be bad when memory starts to fragment
05:51:18TiMiD[FD]I mean unefficient
05:51:22emeralddis queue_send blocking?
05:52:51lostlogicyea
05:53:04JdGordonits only swcodec though...
05:55:00TiMiD[FD]i wonder how do they do that on the original iriver fw
05:55:09TiMiD[FD]so far the buffering seemed pretty efficient
05:57:16lostlogicyeah, I've often wondered how the OFs do it
05:57:23lostlogicbut not enough to try and RE it out
05:57:41TiMiD[FD]nah that would be unsane to read in assembly
05:59:39TiMiD[FD]complete rebuffer vs track stealing .. .I wonder if it's worth the complexity of track stealing
06:00
06:00:34TiMiD[FD]in cases when the buffer is already almost empty a complete rebuffer is probably the right thing to do
06:01:15lostlogicTiMiD[FD]: the fact is that a seek backwards off of the buffer is a fairly rare case, so I believe a full rebuffer is acceptable
06:01:26TiMiD[FD]when it's full ... I wonder if it's worth the battery spare
06:02:01TiMiD[FD]ok
06:02:13TiMiD[FD]I indeed almost never use it
06:02:57lostlogicthe other option that occured to me and I dismissed would be to rebuffer the track in-place, _knowing_ that it will not be able to fit entirely on the space available for it and then do something tricky when it reaches the end of the buffered data to get the rest (another temporary handle elsewhere on the buffer?)
06:03:20TiMiD[FD]not a very clean solution
06:03:28TiMiD[FD]anyway since you have to spin the disk
06:03:51TiMiD[FD]complete rebuffer makes sense at long as it doensn't takes ages to complete
06:04:10TiMiD[FD]maybe 3 or 4 seconds on 32b units
06:04:15TiMiD[FD]32Mb
06:05:31lostlogiccomplete rebuffer on the ipod video takes a bit longer
06:05:53lostlogicbut you're right, any reasonable solution gets everything over with in a single disk spin
06:07:25TiMiD[FD]one thing that I would like would be the playback engine to request the buffering of next folder's tracks
06:07:38TiMiD[FD]I don't think it would be difficult to implement
06:07:42lostlogicyeah, you are definitely not the only one
06:08:19jhMikeSthe playback engine shouldn't care about folders (I guess I repeat that one alot :P)
06:08:21lostlogicunfortunately, the directory flow code is a hack on top of playback, so it creates a whole new playlist and loads that... in that situ, the playback/buffering api doesn't have the info on what to buffer until it's too late
06:08:39TiMiD[FD]yep
06:08:47TiMiD[FD]I was there when that code was created :)
06:08:57TiMiD[FD]and I thought it was very dirty
06:09:18lostlogicso really it's a matter of fixing the directory flow mode code, not of fixing playback or buffering :-P
06:09:30lostlogic(that's my way of saying "I'm never going to look at that"
06:09:35TiMiD[FD]or the plaback's flow code
06:09:38jhMikeSplayback should go through the playlists via a similar interface and playback from UI controlled through that
06:09:46TiMiD[FD]hehe neither do I intend to :)
06:09:51lostlogicjhMikeS: hrm?
06:10:35jhMikeSplaylists should be the play/pause/stop interface when using them...the playlists should control playback through that.
06:11:12TiMiD[FD]jhMikeS: no next/previous track ?
06:11:16jhMikeSpush the track lists to the playback engine through that
06:11:40TiMiD[FD]would be nice to abstract the playlist from the playback engine
06:12:14jhMikeSof course next/previous...but that's really a playlist concern. if playback has the track ready, just the same as skipping now.
06:12:33TiMiD[FD]the playback engine would only request "givme the track next/previous to this one"
06:12:55jhMikeSplayback engine doesn't request, it's just told
06:13:39TiMiD[FD]so buffering would be done by the playlist engine ?
06:13:44jhMikeSit can be asked if trackX is there of couse...basically make it a dumb thing that just is given a track list to buffer and play
06:13:52jhMikeSyes, it would

06:15:06TiMiD[FD]yep
06:15:15TiMiD[FD]a nice thing
06:15:49 Quit midgey_ (Client Quit)
06:16:23TiMiD[FD]althought in the case of previous/next folder it would have to handle some kind of endless playlist ...
06:16:33TiMiD[FD]since we're not gonna add the whole disk
06:17:19jhMikeSthe playlist would worry about the directories
06:17:40TiMiD[FD]special entries for directories ?
06:17:59TiMiD[FD](wouldn't be very convenient)
06:18:38jhMikeSno, just as a boundary when building the tracklist for the engine
06:19:15TiMiD[FD]so in case of normal playback the user wouldn't be able to see which will be the next track when reaching a directory's boundary
06:20:31TiMiD[FD]hmm would require some handling in that case by the playlist engine
06:20:59jhMikeSwhy not? if the playlist can give the next track whereever and when ever. I suppose a placing of the metadata alone on the buffer would be enough...but no "to buffer" tasks to perform.
06:22:33TiMiD[FD]so who would do the buffering ?

06:22:44jhMikeS"what to play" really stikes me as playlist. "how to play" is engine.
06:22:55ddaltonHow do I adjust the voice file volume when building it?
06:23:00ddaltonI want it to be on 2.1
06:23:07ddaltonso I can hear it over music
06:23:10jhMikeSTiMiD[FD}: the buffering would not change from now
06:23:56TiMiD[FD]so only buffering of the tracks in the current playlist
06:24:29TiMiD[FD]on the iriver it was handled pretty simply
06:25:10TiMiD[FD]at the start the device scans all files in the disk and gives them numbers (breadth first)
06:25:13jhMikeSnot sure what you mean. The playlist would have whatever boundaries and loops that the playback settings demand I suppose.
06:25:20TiMiD[FD]then the next track to play is the next number...

06:30:50jhMikeSeven if that means rewriting it just so I understand how it works
06:30:54TiMiD[FD]but nowadays I only touch to some plugins when my day becomes boring and when i need to fake working
06:31:32TiMiD[FD]btw it would be nice if devs stopped producing 2-3k lines files
06:31:39jhMikeSrockbox isn't fake working...that's the real stuff ;)
06:32:01TiMiD[FD]bah it's a cute thing
06:32:08jhMikeSdon't look in mpegplayer when I'm done then
06:32:41TiMiD[FD]I mean when a file grows that big maybe thinking about splitting functionnalities wouldn't be bad
06:32:42jhMikeSstream_mgr.c is hardly close to done and it's 1439 lines :p
06:33:43emeralddhow does the buffering code deal with a file that is larger than the available memery ( Say 128M file on 32M player)?
06:33:47jhMikeSvideo players are nasty complicated things no matter how nicely abstrated and object oriented
06:34:32jhMikeSemeraldd: core buffering?
06:34:58TiMiD[FD]working on more than 600 lines files really becomes difficult
06:35:31TiMiD[FD]I think that 400-500 lines is a reasonable upper limit
06:35:34emeralddapps/buffering.c
06:35:39jhMikeSthe video, audio, disk buffer threads are < 600 lines
06:36:23TiMiD[FD]I'm taking a look at your monstruous file
06:37:07jhMikeSemeraldd: it's just FIFO with the oldest data being whatever is opposite the direction of the buffer movement. oldest is discarded to make room for new.
06:37:37TiMiD[FD]but for example the buffering code could have been splitted in 3 files (lists, buffer space management, buffering api)
06:38:56emeralddjhMikeS: so you would have a single handle with what would fit of the file in memory . . . .
06:38:58jhMikeStoo much splitting can actually make things hard to follow. even if the file is large, clean functional grouping seems to be more helpful.
06:40:10jhMikeSemeraldd: just the section of the file buffered so far. if a seek or playback needs data from outside that window, the above conditions come into play.
06:40:12TiMiD[FD]when you can identify functional groups, splitting makes sense
06:40:27TiMiD[FD]that makes navigation easier
06:40:39TiMiD[FD]instead of using your mouse's wheel :)
06:41:15jhMikeSsure it does. only thing is stream_mgr.c is really one functional group in this case. mpegplayer's been split into many files and it is pretty easy to follow.
06:42:27 Quit emeraldd (Remote closed the connection)
06:43:05TiMiD[FD]hmm yeah in some specific cases it makes sense to keep functions grouped in one file
06:43:18TiMiD[FD]but in the case of the buffering api it would have been nice to split it
06:43:35 Quit stevenm ("Connection reset by beer")
06:43:38jhMikeSthere is a bit of code that could probably be split off...the plans are to make it easy to support different containers/formats/stream.
06:43:50lostlogicTiMiD[FD]: buffering is kinda good the way it is −− use of statics to specify calling restrictions should not be too easily discounted
06:45:14jhMikeSthis sort of coding makes me like C++ quite a bit...but objects can be logically created in C and that's where I'm going...a strict heirarchical architecture.

06:51:16TiMiD[FD]hmm I wouldn't say all parts of code are elegant

06:51:28lostlogiclaugh, of course not
06:51:39lostlogicbut I'm free to work on the parts I want to and try to make them as elegant as I can
06:51:44TiMiD[FD]though it got way better since when I came here
06:51:48jhMikeSthe spaghetti code is definitely underengineered
06:52:58jhMikeSI think the target tree helps keep things in line a bit better
06:53:23lostlogicyeah, that was Linus' brilliant presentation at devcon '06
06:54:53jhMikeSthere ended being too much duplication sometimes. I killed that in the PCM sections (a full peaks calculator for each driver just annoyed me).
06:55:11lostlogicyeah, that was an expected initial side effect
06:55:25TiMiD[FD]or the graphical API ...
06:55:55TiMiD[FD]with every target redefining the scrolling thread ...
06:56:02jhMikeSthe graphical API is definitely a bad case

07:05:35lostlogicjhMikeS: doesn't that cause the functions to end up compiled multiple times?
07:05:47ddaltonjhMikeS: its not good to include c files if that is your question
07:06:01ddaltonI would have thought so
07:06:04jhMikeSwhy? it would be the static inlines that get inlined into the master display driver
07:06:25jhMikeSyou wouldn't add it to SOURCES
07:06:30JdGordonjhMikeS: yeah, there has been some raised eyebrows over that in the past
07:06:55lostlogicjhMikeS: ah, then why not just put them in a .h?
07:06:55JdGordonsame as not putting code in .h'
07:07:52jhMikeSthat's why I don't want it in an .h if it's really basically a code file...what I do want is private inlining to avoid more function call overhead where it's expensive.

07:10:59salpHi, I'd like to ask a basic question...I just installed Rockbox on my Iriver h10 20gb and want to add music, but when I plug it into my computer it doesn't go into the mode it used to that allowed my computer to recognize it...what do I do to access it through my computer?
07:10:59jhMikeSI'd have a good reason to do this for thread.c as well since there's alot of CPU selected code in there.
07:12:12JdGordoninlines in the .h is probably nicer than including .c
07:12:14safetydansalp: it should appear as another drive in explorer
07:12:48salpIt isn't appearing as another drive, unfortunately
07:13:08 Part toffe82
07:13:34salpbefore, when it was connected everything was locked on out on the iriver itself, but now I can use it as normal
07:13:50jhMikeSJdGordon: even for 100s of line of just code? what about inline/noninline combo stuff? all inlines in the .h and non-inlines in a separate...say...thread-pp.c? would make following it more difficult instead of just including all that in the .c file.
07:14:16JdGordonwhy cant they added to sOURCES?
07:14:40jhMikeSthe .c must be inluded if inlines are to be inlined. they'll be function calls otherwise.
07:15:00***Saving seen data "./dancer.seen"
07:15:43jhMikeSsince inlines also must be static, they won't be seen externally
07:16:26JdGordonyou'd probably be safe to do it for very special cases... but im sure there will be lots of complaints if it starts being used where it really shouldnt be
07:17:40jhMikeSShould there be a disclaimer? :) I only want to do it where it really makes sense otherwise I agree the usual pattern should be used.
07:18:02JdGordona disclaimer wouldnt hurt...

07:29:09Lloreanlostlogic: The iRiver H10 probably doesn't, being portalplayer
07:29:24lostlogicLlorean: but even on ipod it automatically reboots to OF for it

07:35:22karashataI recommend you uncheck the "hidden" folder property on the music folder so you can see it easier
07:35:33salpwhere can I do that?
07:35:48 Part safetydan
07:35:53Mouser_XRight-click the music folder.
07:36:09Mouser_XCheck properties (sorry about the enter, I forgot this part.)
07:36:10karashataright click the folder, go to properties (should be near the bottom), then in the general tab, uncheck the box labelled "hidden"
07:37:18salpgreat, it worked...and I can finally see how much space I've used up! That was one of my biggest complaints with the original firmware
07:37:45salpI'm in the process of replacing all my .wma files now
07:37:52karashatahmm... I've always been able to see how much space was used up, even with the OF
07:38:19salpreally? not me...it'd never let me see
07:38:27karashatanot on the player itself, mind you, but WMP kept tabs on what space was left, and if the device was in UMS mode, Explorer showed it as well
07:38:45Mouser_Xsalp: Rockbox can play WMA. Just pointing it out, if replacing those proves to be a problem.
07:39:01salpit can? I thought I read that it can't on the iriver
07:39:19Mouser_XOh, sorry. I don't know.
07:39:29salpoh, maybe I never checked on the UMS mode

08:47:53amiconnjhMikeS: What do you think should we do with pp5024.h (re my question yesterday)?
08:49:09jhMikeSamiconn: do those multiple GPIO bitmasks apply to pp502x in general? I figure it's not much worse than having mcf5250.h to change some defines.
08:49:30amiconnDid you have a look at pp5024.h in current svn?
08:49:40amiconnIt's empty apart from including pp5020.h
08:49:49ddaltonis it possible to beep when fast forwarding/rewinding? or is it like the paused thing.
08:49:53ddaltonsame problem.
08:50:04amiconnThe gpio ints are grouped on the others as well, and there is GPIO2_IRQ as well
08:50:21amiconnFound that when adding microsd detection to c200
08:51:11jhMikeSamiconn: not for some time. what about #defines in there for the SD interface? Is that pp502x general?
08:51:23amiconnidk
08:51:29jhMikeSsome of that stuff should get out of the source files
08:52:28amiconnOne would think it is though, as the c200 is PP5022
08:53:25jhMikeSPP5022 has an AS3514 too though or it's external there?
08:53:36amiconnexternal afaik
08:57:01jhMikeSwell, heck it seems pp502x.h would be sufficient since they obviously stopped "innovating" before tanking.
08:58:31amiconnI still need to find out why microsd cards don't work on c200. The detection isr definitely works now
08:58:56amiconnTested it by putting some buttonlight manipulation into it
08:59:34amiconnI think the card selection is wrong - I'd like to ask low_light where he found that, or whether it's just guesswork based on e200
09:00
09:03:02jhMikeShe said from the emu which is also where the e200's came from
09:03:39jhMikeSmaybe just try the e200 selection?idk
09:05:28jhMikeSI guess that wouldn't work since the main card works with the current one
09:05:35amiconnyep
09:07:45amiconnBtw, there *are* a few differences between pp5020, pp5022 and pp5024. One thing where they differ is the clock setup (pp5020 different from 5022+5024), another is the ata controller (all different)
09:08:22amiconnThe latter is not yet researched further, but an ata reg dump looks quite different between 5020 and 5022
09:08:40amiconn(and 5024 has no ata controller as far as we know)
09:09:55jhMikeShave you tried a longer timeout for the debouncer? ata will disable the card if a few retries doesn't result in a successful init. retailos actually waits several seconds (that is by the spec for worst case)
09:11:27amiconnIt doesn't work even with the card plugged at boot

13:23:55linuxstbCan we set any kind of margin on scrolling lines, to ensure the text fits?
13:24:08linuxstb(or rather, doesn't fit...)
13:25:24linuxstbThe m:robe's screen for example will need very long text if we are going to guarantee scrolling with any font...
13:25:28n1spadding with spaces works but is kind of ugly
13:25:57linuxstbMaybe we should just leave that until we have viewports, so we can fix the scrolling margins.
13:27:07n1syep, makign it scroll that way on a 640 pix wide display (mrobe landscape) and 5 pix font is a _lot_ of spaces :D
13:27:27JdGordonI tihnk adding a special case for that is needed
13:28:02linuxstbWhat kind of special case?
13:28:35JdGordonfudge the title in the setting screen
13:30:43JdGordonI really dont think there is a clean way to do that though
13:31:46JdGordon... except if we add a rediculous amount of spaces in english.lang depending on the target?
13:32:52JdGordon... or maybe not
13:33:47linuxstbCouldn't the string just be manipulated at runtime to pad with spaces, or maybe repeat the string multiple times, based on LCD_WIDTH and current font width?
13:33:54JdGordonnope.. its gonna have to be messy
13:34:08JdGordonyeah, thats the way it will have to be
13:35:20amiconnn1s: The text could be padded with itself until it's long enough
13:35:47amiconnJust keep in mind that there is a size limit for scrolling text
13:36:08n1samiconn: yes, true, would still be really long for the worst case thought (640 pixel display and 5 pixel font)
13:36:14JdGordonwhich is actually possible to exceed without scrolling!
13:36:27amiconnI doubt that

13:36:46amiconnThe maximum length is MAX_PATH + something lcd size dependent iirc
13:36:49JdGordonhmm.. ok maybe not
13:37:03JdGordon640/5 = 128.. well under the max title length
13:37:36linuxstbIn the example wma file given with that bug report, the comment field is around 650 characters, which seems to cause problems with the "view track info" screen...
13:38:30JdGordoni bet it does! the list can only take lines up to MAX_PATH
13:38:37JdGordonmassive buffer overflow there
13:39:24linuxstbBut where should it be checked?
13:39:42linuxstbShould the metadata parsers limit tags to certain lengths?
13:39:59JdGordonyes, I dont tihnk the list code checks the line length at all
13:40:23amiconnlcd_puts_scroll just cuts whatever exceeds its limit iirc

13:42:52JdGordonit doesnt.. but the buffer which it passes to the callbacks are MAX_PATH long and not usually \0'ed to make sure they fit correctly
13:44:15*preglow wishes some hero would pop up and implement viewports
13:46:41amiconnJdGordon: If they aren't \0 ed that's clearly a bug
13:47:42JdGordonumm... I should have said, they assume snprintf() makes sure they are \0'd... im nt sure if it does or not (another project i was in had a bug where it wasnt if it fit exactly)

14:04:10*JdGordon is king!
14:04:28JdGordonthis also means we can deprecate a string or two
14:04:59JdGordonalthough "Scroll Speed Scroll Speed Scroll Speed ..." for the title might look bad
14:06:02n1show 'bout "Scroll Setting Example Text" or somesuch?
14:06:06JdGordonhttp://rafb.net/p/zA19YM10.html
14:06:14JdGordonthats what it displays atm
14:06:53JdGordonthat code pads it with the title.. would padding be spaces be better? im not so sure
14:09:14amiconnPadding with text is better
14:09:24amiconnWhat about "Scroll settings example text..."
14:09:28JdGordonhmm... padding with space is simpler code.. but it doesnt look so good unless we check the new string lenght

14:16:06barrywardellIs there a list of which DEV_EN,DEV_EN2,DEV_EN3 bits are set on different targets? maybe that would help to figure out what they all do.

14:22:08GodEater_I can only see DEV_EN on my 5.5G ipod, it's set to : 0XC2C1197F
14:24:16barrywardellamiconn added the other two to the debug screen on saturday
14:24:28GodEater_I'll update then
14:24:58amiconnDEV_EN3 is still to be verified
14:25:26amiconnIt might be something different, although a routine in the ipod roms suggests that it is DEV_EN3

14:33:33GodEater_yes and I don't know
14:33:59*GodEater_ doesn't see DEV_EN2 and 3

16:52:23web-tazi realized a problem with MKVs which habe several audiolayers, und subtitles
16:52:46web-tazbut these animes, just are xvid and mp3
16:52:56web-tazso i cannot imagine why it doesnt work

16:54:50karashatahowever, Rockbox can't do anything with Xvid compressed video AFAIK, so that's likely why it's not showing the video portion of the clips

17:26:32rzr\Good evening everyone.
17:26:45rzr\Any Sansa experts here? :P
17:28:13rzr\I've been having a problem with playback using rockbox, it's being very unstable and will occasionally freeze entirely, resulting in me having to remove the battery to reboot the player. Anyone having a similar issue?
17:28:26rzr\Sansa e270 btw
17:28:52tuplanollai have, e280
17:29:15tuplanollayou can press the menu button for 15sec to shutdown
17:29:40tuplanollait freezes when i play wma files
17:29:42rzr\that long, ok
17:30:07rzr\Well, mine seems to freeze randomly. Playback will just stop, and I can't start any other file until I've rebooted the player entirely.
17:30:38tuplanollayou can select new track from the db but it just won't play it
17:31:01rzr\yeah, or browse the files directly and start one, but it just won't play
17:31:10tuplanollayea
17:31:34n1srzr\: when did you last update?
17:31:35rzr\It's incredibly annoying, I'm forced to reboot the player several times a day, at work
17:31:38rzr\two days ago
17:31:46rzr\the problem was there before that too though
17:32:14n1srzr\: lostlogic whacked a couple bugs affecting sansas yesterday so you might want to try a newer build
17:32:55rzr\I can try

17:34:00*amiconn named GPO32_VAL clever enough so the suggested name would be GPO32_ENABLE ;)
17:34:22amiconnOf course we could verify whether it's really an enable
17:35:22rzr\Such a weird bug though, it was the sole reason I updated on friday.
17:35:29barrywardellamiconn: have you verified it?
17:35:42amiconnno, not yet

17:42:31tuplanollarzr\: yeah, works for me now
17:42:42rzr\hmm
17:42:48rzr\I've deleted my old rockbox folder
17:42:52rzr\and installed the new one
17:43:12rzr\so hopefully it'll work continuously now :P

17:51:40n1ssome apps, (i don't know which) are able to write RG info in id3v2 tags, and those tags are what rockbox reads
17:51:45n1s(for mp3)
17:52:52rzr\thats weird then cause replaygain seems to work on my player. I guess foobar writes it to both tagsets then.

18:26:58lostlogicI have one queued up which removes conf_watermark because that shouldn't be configurable and appears to have been a hack
18:26:59Nico_Plostlogic: I'm not sure I agree with what you said about having to buffer the whole file then seek for resuming
18:27:11lostlogicNico_P: hrm?
18:27:13lostlogicnot for resume
18:27:21lostlogicor which statement
18:27:33lostlogicoh that's right, I"m supposed to be beating you up.
18:27:38lostlogicfor 8092
18:27:43lostlogic*scowl*
18:27:44Nico_Pjust a sec... not sure I understood right too
18:27:49pondlifeThe file should be buffered when I resume after stopping...
18:28:01Nico_P" the read->advance method would force the whole file to end up buffered even when resuming would only require part of it and therebo obviate the need for a reverse seek and also the need for conf_preseek"
18:28:02lostlogicpondlife: huh? stop clears buffer completely
18:28:09pondlifeWhy?
18:28:20 Quit Chronon ("Client exited")
18:28:28lostlogicpondlife: stopping invalidates all tracks
18:28:36Nico_Plostlogic: FS #8092 is why partial tracks are gotten rid of
18:28:38pondlifeAh, ok. But does it have to?
18:28:53Nico_Pbut yeah there are other problems
18:28:55lostlogicpondlife: would be needlessly complex to not do so, imo
18:29:09lostlogicNico_P: partial tracks being gotten rid of does nothign to help 8092
18:29:13Nico_Ppondlife: same as playlist skipping ;)
18:29:20pondlifeBe nice to avoid an un-needed spinup in both cases
18:29:23lostlogicrebuffer_handle cannot work on the backward case.
18:29:34pondlifeThrowing away good data ;p
18:29:39n1spondlife: ever heard of pause? .P
18:29:42n1s:P
18:29:45lostlogicn1s: beat me to it!!
18:29:50pondlifePause sucks
18:29:50Nico_Plostlogic: yeah but FS #8092 was showing up in a bad way when partial tracks weren't gotten rid of ;)
18:29:54pondlifeVoice doesn't work
18:29:58lostlogicNico_P: ah
18:30:31lostlogicNico_P: so what do you think about doing away with conf_chunksize
18:30:34Nico_Plostlogic: so about read->advance... I'm not sure I see what you mean...
18:30:39lostlogic(I misspoke earlier, conf_watermark is good)
18:30:53pondlifePause and stop should be unified really... and the buffer/playlist could be preserved in both cases.
18:31:02Nico_Plostlogic: then we hardcode the chunksize?
18:31:14lostlogicNico_P: so if a codec calls for a raed from the beginning of a file that is only partially buffered as its first action... it forces the whole file tob e buffered.
18:31:32lostlogicNico_P: yes, absolutely, chunksize is a decision of the buffering code and is nobody else' business
18:31:42Nico_PI quite agree
18:31:46pondlifeDon't those "per-codec" settings make little sense when buffering? I mean, as globals at least..
18:32:19lostlogicNico_P: the other thing that the read, advance method might have been doing now that I think of it is just skipping first_frame_offset worth of good data that should have been played
18:32:24Nico_Plostlogic: I can readd the ata idle callback if you're not working on it... I just need to get acquainted with your changes first
18:32:28pondlifeThey only refer to the current codec using the data, not other buffering, no?
18:32:29lostlogicand now that I think of it, that's why changing it broke pondlife
18:32:43lostlogicNico_P: yeah, I'm not working on that.
18:32:49lostlogicpondlife: exactly.
18:32:58pondlifeIMHO they should be playback, not buffering (or if they must be buffering, per handle)
18:33:03lostlogicpondlife: so if it were to be used it would hafta be done differently and in its current state it's just wrong
18:33:27pondlifeOr even better see if it can all be scrapped and KISSed better ;)
18:33:46Nico_Plostlogic: if you get rid of chunksize, we only have watermark left, right?
18:34:04lostlogicNico_P: yeah, my patch also makes it an explicit call not a conf switch call
18:34:15Nico_Plogical
18:34:32lostlogic<−− lostlogic not logical :-D
18:34:45pondlifeWatermark could be per-handle if needed....
18:34:54pondlifeThat sounds a sensible thing.
18:35:00Nico_Ppondlife: agreeed. Maybe we could even get rid of it
18:35:24pondlifeWhich codecs use extreme watermarks? FLAC?
18:35:37lostlogicpondlife: I like the per-codec watermark personally
18:36:03pondlifeYep, but it should be per buffer handle... Video may want a higher value...
18:36:33pondlifeI guess it depends on the data rate and how variable it might be.
18:36:34lostlogicpondlife: it is in effect per-buffer handle
18:36:40lostlogicbecause it's configured by the codec as it starts playing a handle
18:37:08pondlifeSo not going to accidentally affect another handle that's filling at the same-ish time?
18:37:26pondlifee.g. playing FLAC while buffering a SID
18:37:32pondlifeor whatever
18:37:47lostlogicpondlife: nothing to do with filling
18:37:52lostlogicpondlife: only to do with emptying
18:37:54 Quit barrywardell_ ()
18:38:00pondlifeOK, that makes sense.
18:38:04lostlogicso the currently _reading_ codec sets it
18:38:16pondlifei.e. buffer -> codec
18:38:20Nico_Plostlogic: so we'd use the base_handle value?
18:38:41lostlogicNico_P: yeah, I mean if we were to add a varialbe for watermark to each handle
18:38:42*pondlife was confused and thought it related more to the trigger point for filling.
18:38:42Nico_Pto know which handle is affected by the setting, I mean
18:38:46lostlogicbut I still don't think that's necessary
18:38:58Nico_Plostlogic: why?
18:39:04lostlogicpondlife: it is the trigger poitn for filling but it's only relevent to the currently playing handle
18:39:16lostlogicNico_P: because it's only relevant to the playing handle
18:39:20lostlogicnto to all handles
18:39:28zichois it possible to have shuffled playback when listening to a dynamic playlist?
18:39:31Nico_Phmm ok I thought it was set for each buffered handle in turn
18:39:32lostlogicand it's just as easy to have the codec say "I'm playing a handle of this watermark"
18:39:33pondlifeWhat if you have 2 consumers using buffering at the same time?

18:39:47pondlifeIn the future, I mean
18:39:48lostlogicpondlife: buffering would explode because buf_ridx wuold break.
18:39:58lostlogicpondlife: so we'll have bigger problems than the watermark.
18:40:04Nico_Plostlogic: that's not true
18:40:14Nico_Punless it changed
18:40:26lostlogicNico_P: hmm, your'e right, buf_ridx is only cahnged when first_handle is closed or shrunk

18:41:00lostlogicpondlife: ok, yes, then it would be better to have some kind of per-handle setting but the logic for knowing when data is low would get quite complex I think
18:41:04n1szicho: yes, turn on shuffle
18:41:24pondlifelostlogic: I guess you're low when any active handle is low
18:41:29pondlifei.e OR them all.
18:42:05*pondlife eats the last biscuit
18:42:12lostlogicpondlife: so you'd want per-handle checking too *shudder* not today.
18:42:21pondlifeNope, not today :)
18:42:51pondlifeLet's just get it bugless first :p
18:42:53Nico_Plostlogic: in r15466 you added a queue_send of Q_FILL_BUFFER *before* the queue_send of Q_BUFFER_HANDLE in buf_request_buffer_handle... wouldn't *after* make more sense?
18:43:11*Nico_P hoped the code would be bugless on his return from vacation :p
18:43:32pondlifeHah, it's not too bad
18:43:38zichon1s: It just hops to the next track on the last, in order.
18:44:01pondlifeCertainly seems that some ancient playback bugs may have vanished
18:44:34n1szicho: yes, turning on shuffle will reorder the playlist, it always plays in order, htere is also a "reshuffle" option in the wps context menu
18:44:41 Quit barrywardell_ ()
18:44:43lostlogicNico_P: yeah, that's a little broken, I just realized I had it fixed proper-like in a pending fix, but I'm trying to separate my commits into good atomic units before proceeding

18:45:18lostlogicNico_P: yeah, hehe
18:45:27pondlifeget git
18:45:36lostlogicbut the start_fill _must_ go before the buffer_handle to start making space for the handle to buffer
18:45:44lostlogicotherwise it'll just be bumping against data already ont he buffer
18:46:18Nico_Pstart_fill?
18:46:29lostlogichaah, doesn't exist.. fill_buffer
18:46:42rzr\context menu button on the sansa seems to be changed or non.functional in the newest build
18:46:57lostlogicthe ponti is that a BUFFER_HANDLE without first _at least_ shrinking handles is pointless
18:47:08lostlogicbecause the buffer was most likely filled completely 30 megs ago and hasn't been emptied at alls inced
18:47:14lostlogicall since
18:47:33Nico_Pyeah but I think it makes more sense to give prio to the handle that needs it
18:47:57Nico_Pso maybe add a shrink_buffer call when Q_BUFFER_HANDLE is received
18:48:14Nico_Pbut I'm still reading through the changed code ;)
18:48:50lostlogicNico_P: exactly what the pending patch does :)
18:49:15lostlogicNico_P: turns out we need two cases for buffer_handle 1) a case that should initiate a new fill and 2) a case that is called during a fill by a new bufopen or suchlike
18:49:22lostlogicso I'm separating them out

19:00:37lostlogicpondlife: yeah, just booted up into a resume on an mp3 and it worked like a charm... *frown*
19:00:44pondlifelostlogic: Recipe is simple. Play a track halfway through. Press STOP to go to browser (not pause). Press PLAY to resume. WPS progress continues, but audio starts from the start

19:03:40lostlogicbut that wasn't very noticible most of the time

19:04:53amiconnHDD poweroff didn't increase runtime noticeably on mini G2 :|
19:05:42pondlifeMaybe MoB is decreasing runtime in a proportional manner ;/
19:05:44amiconnProbably these microdrives do autosleep much like their solid-state twins
19:05:52n1sshould we perhaps introduce required versions of gcc/binutils for our build servers for their native arch so these things at least get consistent?
19:06:18pondlifen1s: Yes. Make the buggy gccs illegal.
19:06:31amiconnn1s: I don't think that's possible, with the mix of architectures and distributions

19:41:55bertrikI wonder if it would be possible to predict battery level by counting time and estimated current instead of using voltage alone
19:42:15lostlogicbertrik: some of the older targets do that
19:42:22lostlogicI think
19:42:25lostlogicat least for charging
19:42:26bertrikor maybe combine them in a kalman filter, but I think we would need more information for that

19:50:32nanoki will have to look at the battery bench results, but i have a hunch a "healthy" battery should have quite a consistent trend, untill it gets almost empty (at which point the steepness changes fast and we should shutdown)
19:50:55nanokmaybe this would be easyer to implement, combined with some voltage threshold, just to be safe?
19:51:13Aloneagonna see how file plays on computer. anyway, LOTR and everything else seems to be playing fine, but my ally mcbeal stops as soon as the opening song starts (intro video then it goes to the opening credits)

19:52:13n1sAlonea: it the stopping ones are from the same source it's probably something about them that mpegplayer don't like :-9
19:52:48nanokso basically, the second derivative should be the thing to watch for (the "delta_delta_voltage") −− is that the correct english word?
19:53:43bertrikthe second derivative is very sensitive to noise i think
19:54:06Alonean1s: ok, thats odd...I guess it is the file. WMP played up until the opening credits, skipped over them and started right after them. winamp was playing the video upside down...O.o

19:59:42Nico_Plostlogic: the tracks *should* have been cleared by audio_clear_track_entries in most cases, so I think it wasn't too bad

20:00:43Nico_Pyeah the two need to be unified... audio_release_tracks was some kind of a security measure because I wasn't sure I fully understood audio_clear_track_entries
20:00:54lostlogicNico_P: any new thoughts on how to kill stupid trailing tags?
20:01:13lostlogic(that and the rebuffer_handle) are things I don't have ideas for fixing well

20:01:20Nico_P?
20:01:33bertriknanok: by the way, what voltage do you see just after the OF charged the battery?
20:01:40Nico_Pmaybe get_metadata could somehow tell us how much of the file is really needed

20:02:22bertriklast time I saw only slightly less than 4.0V, while LiIon should be able to go upto 4.2V

20:37:24amiconnLiIon charging circuits always do the critical things in hardware. Software controlled LiIon charging would be dangerous
20:37:29lostlogichmm... we still need to figure out how to draw 500mA from USB. the iPod video still discharges slowly when backlight is on and playing while USB'd
20:37:45bertriknanok: I don't think the battery is any real use except as an emergency charge shutdown signal
20:37:52amiconnsaratoga: All which are '1' should be disableable.
20:38:13saratogais it a safe assumption that "0" is always off?
20:38:45amiconnThat said, some not that criticall things are sometimes software controlable, but with a hardware safety fallback
20:38:50barrywardelllostlogic: that will happen once Zagor commits the USB stuff. the controller needs to request 500mA
20:38:52amiconnsaratoga: yes, '0' is off
20:39:24amiconnsaratoga: That test would have to be done on each different PP502x target individually though
20:39:49amiconnAlso compare what ipl already knows about DEV_EN
20:40:11lostlogicbarrywardell: ooh, there's progress happening in the area, taht's very nice to hear!
20:40:31amiconnhttp://ipodlinux.org/PP5020 (device enable, that's DEV_EN1 only)
20:40:50DerPapstIs the DEV_EN the same on every model or can there be different ones for the same model?
20:41:36nanokbarrywardell: !!! reeeaaaally good news
20:42:05*nanok is really pissed about not being able to at least charge the sansa while hooked on, and having to go to the OF
20:42:15amiconnDerPapst: DEV_EN is the same for all PP502x, but not all targets need the same functional units

20:42:30nanokwhen i see that backlight on all the time, it pisses me off.. :/
20:42:34amiconnE.g the ipods need the opto controller for the wheel, *except* the mini g1
20:42:42amiconnOther PP502x targets probably don't need it
20:43:28amiconnsaratoga: I *think* that it might be possible to disable the ata controller while not in use, without having to reinit at re-enable
20:43:44saratogaamiconn: well i've only got a Sansa to play with so my hacking is somewhat limited
20:43:46amiconnThat is, if the DEV_EN bits just control clock gates as I presume
20:44:02saratogastill, there a half dozen on bits for the Sansa that we don't have a label for
20:44:20saratogai see the USB bit is on, might that be turned off since we have no stack anyway?
20:44:35amiconnThere are at least 64 DEV_EN bits. Perhaps we should make a list which bits are set on which targets?
20:44:48saratogaamiconn: theres one on the wiki page
20:44:54saratogabarry made it this morning
20:45:03amiconnNo, we need the usb controller for usb detection
20:45:16saratogawhat good does that do?
20:45:29DerPapstamiconn: ah ok. that explains why my DEV_EN differs from the one in the rockbox wiki
20:45:44saratogaat least on the sansa USB insert just freezes the player until you remove the USB plug
20:45:47barrywardellamiconn: I saw in the rockbox comments that DEV_EN 0x2 controls device clocking enable

21:07:45lostlogicor maybe that should not be where it is and should only be explicitly triggered by ata going idle and not actually set the filling state but just do a single round of filling
21:07:49lostlogicthat might make more sense
21:08:21lostlogicstill ata_idle_callback is not an OK way to do a buffer fill for the raeson I mentioned earlier... we'd need to register for and respond to a sys message instead
21:08:26lostlogicamiconn: lil' help?
21:08:47 Quit scorche (Connection timed out)
21:08:47 Nick scorche` is now known as scorche (i=Blah@rockbox/administrator/scorche)
21:09:14Nico_Pyeah that's why I originally got rid of the idle callback but I was told polling ata_disk_is_active was wrong
21:09:26lostlogicNico_P: yeah, I know, which is why I #if 0'd it
21:09:38lostlogicwhich is why we need a new mechanism, which amiconn has decribed but which does not currently exist
21:09:47amiconnyes
21:09:57Nico_Poh, where is the description?
21:09:59*Nico_P didn't catch up on the logs
21:10:13lostlogicamiconn: so you speak of sys messages and registering/resopnding to them as an alternative to ata_idle_callback
21:10:31amiconnIt would replace the callback
21:10:34lostlogicunfortunately I have _absolutely_ no idea where we would start to implement that, could you by chance give a more detailed description of this idea?
21:11:22amiconnWell, we currently have sys messages, which are broadcast to all public event queues
21:12:05amiconnAnd right now we have 2 special sys messages, which *must* be replied by *all* threads with a public queues - usb connect and usb disconnect
21:12:05Nico_Pso I can drop using the callback?
21:12:51amiconnThat means there are several threads which need to reply to those messages just because they have public queues, even though they might not have to do anything special in the usb case
21:12:54lostlogicNico_P: if we use the callback, the ata thread would hafta be _blocked_ for the duration of the fill, not acceptable, imo
21:13:05Nico_Pok
21:13:39amiconnAnd still, the usb handling is a bit messy, because the ata thread would need special handling, and it doesn't
21:14:28nanokhmmm.. have been running todays build for a litle while now
21:14:32amiconnIf we detect usb connection, *first* all threads which have something to flush have to do that, *then* ata would have to disable the disk
21:14:50amiconnCurrently, this disabling is done by the usb thread - somewhat messy
21:14:58nanoki don't seem to get that bug with the playback stopping, but it *seems* to have been replaced by skipping instead of stopping
21:15:10amiconnThe same goes for shutdown, which is a complete mess atm because it's all done in the ui thread
21:15:14***Saving seen data "./dancer.seen"
21:15:23nanokis this consistent to anybody elses observations?
21:15:24Nico_Pnanok: "today's build" isn't good enough... a revision is needed
21:15:38nanokNico_P: good point, sorry
21:15:41amiconnThis won't work for suspend, because suspend has to make sure all threads are ready for suspend *without* killing the threads
21:15:50*nanok forgets timezones are.
21:16:08nanok15477
21:16:23lostlogicnanok: update, will probably go away
21:16:25amiconnSo my idea was to introduce a mechanism to register for certain system events (those which could require synchronised action - usb, shutdown/suspend)
21:16:58amiconnAnd if we have that, we could add an event for catching a 'disk spinning' opportunity

21:23:38Nico_Poh, do you know how?
21:23:39lostlogicyeah, but not a loop, just a standard length sleep
21:23:45bertrikhard to reproduce a complete underrun though, most of the time pcm just hovers at 50% for the 15 sec it takes the usefl bar to fill up
21:23:55lostlogicbertrik: yeah, that's what it _should_ do
21:24:21bertrikok
21:24:25lostlogicNico_P: yes, because BUF_USED would never fall low even though usefl was low, the yield_codec loop would never exit and both pcm and compressed buffers would go to zero

21:53:32*DerPapst build something similar for his ipod too
21:53:39DerPapstbut with firewire :)
21:54:07nanokyeah, i need one of those for my sansa
21:54:36nanokbut, unfortunately, it would need a cable, the bllody plug for the sansa is totaly non-standard :(

21:54:52DerPapstsame for the ipod
21:55:13nanokFreshPrince: it's a must have. how can i go trekking for a week without that?
21:55:13DerPapstbut you can use the usb cable for your sansa and a febale usb thingy
21:55:17bertrikthat the one thing i don't like about the sansa
21:55:25DerPapst*female
21:55:38*pixelma agrees 110% :/
21:55:52DerPapstbut hey.. it's got a/v out :D
21:56:12nanokDerPapst: yes, that's what i would probably do, but i hate having to have acable there. it could be made really compact with a custom, really short cable
21:56:22Nico_Pbertrik: what you said about pcm and 50%, is it with or without the patch?
21:56:42bertrikNico_P: with the patch
21:56:46*DerPapst is already used to nonstandart plugs
21:59:24bertrikwhen skipping backwards, I typically see pcm increasing to 50%, then PCM hovers at 50% while the usefl and real bars fill up

22:02:08bertrikbefore the patch, the usefl and real bars would already fill up before pcm was 50%, causing pcm to underrun in some cases
22:02:38Nico_Pso it's an improvement?
22:02:43bertrikyes, I think so
22:02:58FreshPrincenanok, ^^
22:03:06FreshPrincehmm.. i need some help.. i'm a n00b :(
22:03:07Nico_PI'll commit then

22:03:35FreshPrincei only need the rockbox utility to install it on my ipod right?
22:03:56linuxstbYes
22:04:01bertrikwait, i'll try to run out the usefl without skipping

22:55:32stevenmPITA to seek midi because of instrument changes and notes on for a long time
22:55:56n1sstevenm: I have been thinking about trying to turn it into a codec once most of the buffering bugs are worked out
22:56:10stevenmthat would be sweet
22:56:30stevenmis it just going to kick everything else out of the buffer?
22:57:36n1sstevenm: the idea is that we can have all the patches and stuff on the buffer together with regular streaming tracks or at least we should be able to come up with a way to do that :-)
22:58:06FreshPrincen1s, whats the wps?
22:58:21n1sFreshPrince: the While Playing Screen
22:58:30FreshPrinceaha
22:58:33stevenmn1s, I don't exactly know the codec framework, but don't we only get X bytes?
22:58:34FreshPrinceno its not showing.
22:59:25n1sstevenm: with the recent changes to buffering code the buffering has become much more flexible and that should be possible AFAIU

23:00:32stevenmn1s, oh, that would be nice. I guess we don't have to worry about "sharing" the patch set among multiple files yet, but it would be nice.
23:00:57stevenmn1s, I can think of at least a few things that would be shared.. piano definitely (loaded by default) and some of the drum patches.. guitar perhaps
23:01:16stevenmn1s, I haven't actually bothered to find out just how much ram an average midi file actually requires
23:01:18n1sstevenm: that would be nice but also a bit more complicated...

23:04:58DarkDaemonthank you

23:07:24stevenmn1s, yeah, there are 5 calls, but most of the time only two of them actually run. the others handle cases when playback hits the edge of a loop

23:08:31SMB-MacManhey guys
23:08:48SMB-MacManjust wondering if someone would be able to help me with rockbox?
23:09:00n1sas you probably can tell i'm not too familiar with the dirty details
23:09:08stevenmn1s, to explain.. GUS patches can have a loop region. so once you hit the edge, you either rewind to the start of the loop, or reverse direction. the other calls happen if the last sample retrieved was outside of the loop region
23:09:16linuxstbSMB-MacMan: Just ask your question, if someone can help, they will.
23:09:58stevenmn1s, how is the slow ram accessed? how wide is the bus?
23:10:00webguest27random question - i just ordered a sandisc e250 from today's woot (woot.com) and found out i could install rockbox on it... but how large is a standard installation? the player is only 2 GB and i'm looking into SD cards also
23:10:11SMB-MacManI'm using Rockbox on a Toshiba Gigabeat F60, and I just wanted to know what format video clips have to be in, in order to play, i've tried VCD MPEG and it goes to a black screen for a sec then back to the menu?
23:10:34stevenmn1s, because most of the time, the two getSample calls access two consecutive 16-bit locations
23:10:37krazykitwebguest27, not enough to matter.
23:10:47stevenmn1s, wait, maybe not... durr
23:10:49webguest27badass, thats what i figured.
23:10:55webguest27very excited. gotta love woot.

23:17:26stevenmn1s, I'd have to look into this then.. can we easily do a 32-bit read on that data? It is an array of 16 bit values
23:17:33stevenmmaybe have to endian swap?
23:17:44stevenmwait, no swapping.. but shifting
23:17:56SMB-MacMannot sure where to get the thinner ones sorry mate

23:18:19stevenmn1s, also, what about all the variables used in synthVoice? Do we know if all of them live in registers?
23:18:29pixelmastill thanks
23:18:31n1sstevenm: I think it would be worth trying at least
23:18:55eigmaJdGordon: omg I fixed my m:robe!! :D
23:18:57stevenmn1s, I'll try to do it right now. beats the paging project :)
23:18:58n1sstevenm: no, I have not disassembled it so I don' t know
23:19:28JdGordoneigma: woohoo :D
23:19:34JdGordonwhat was wrong?
23:20:27eigmaJdGordon: turns out the commands I was sending over SPI were affecting the LCD in a persistent manner.. even disconnecting the battery didn't erase the changes I made
23:20:52eigmaJdGordon: I looked through the OF and it looked like some values the LCD was returning was causing the OF to skip some initialization commands
23:21:10eigmaJdGordon: I sent those commands manually myself, and voila, it's back to normal for good −− and now the OF sends those commands on every bootup
23:21:22JdGordongreat :)
23:21:34eigmaI still have no idea what chip it is that caused this, or what the commands mean :(
23:22:19JdGordonbut at least you know how to fix it if it happens again :p
23:22:50eigmayeah −− we have to be really careful around that part of the code (backlight/SPI) because it would be pretty scary if this happened on users' devices
23:24:41stevenmn1s, I got rid of the second call to getSample entirely
23:25:06n1sstevenm: great, and it still works?
23:25:18stevenmn1s, so, s = s2; s1 isn't ever retrieved, and there is no interpolation
23:25:48stevenmn1s, well.. as I expected, it still plays... but some instruments will sound a little weird because they are being up/downsampled without any interpolation at all
23:26:18stevenmn1s, I plugged in USB during playback (instant 22k -> 44k) and there are still some buffer misses. not as many as before, but still are
23:26:46n1sstevenm: does it affect sound as much when in 44kHz ?
23:27:00n1sdropping the interpolation I mean?
23:27:47stevenmn1s, probably wouldn't so much... honestly I don't remember the difference all that much (I also havne't really slept either). try it for youself and see what the sound difference is
23:28:21n1scould you pastebin the code, my brain doesn't work :-/
23:28:57stevenmn1s, just comment out s1=getSample((cp_temp >> FRACTSIZE), wf);
23:29:09stevenmn1s, then comment out the line directly after and write instead s = s2;
23:30:53stevenmn1s, it probably isn't a good idea to get rid of the interpolation entirely- it adds a high pitched hiss to instruments. ie monkey island sounds kinda ugly
23:31:05stevenmwe did away with the Ghetto Lowpass Filter by adding the whole s1/s2 thing
23:31:10n1saha, I thought you changed it to read 32 bits too, building now
23:31:38stevenmn1s, nah. this is just the best, best, best case we will have, as it also gets rid of some math that does need to be left in

23:34:40n1sstevenm: yep sounds a lot worse, the idea with reading both samples as 32 bit was just to see if it would be any faster but still keeping the interpolation in
23:35:20stevenmn1s, a better test I guess would be to keep the interpolation there, but instead of writing s1 = getSample, just set s1 = s2
23:35:44stevenmit wouldn't do much "interpolating" but it would give a better idea of how much speedup we'd get from 32bit reads

23:44:28dionoeaSuppose that I have tracks A and B in the buffer. I'm playing A and skip to B. If i go back to A, why does it need to rebuffer it?
23:45:28ddaltonn1s: around?
23:45:46n1sddalton: yes, for a few mins
23:46:00dionoeaor, the otherway around: why does it unbuffer A when skipping to B? Couldn't it just mark the buffer as reclaimable but keep it until someone actually needs to reclaim it?
23:46:01ddaltonn1s: are you familiar with voice building?
23:46:14n1sddalton: a little
23:46:32ddaltonn1s: ok do you know how to make the clips record at scale 2.1?
23:46:40ddaltonor volume...
23:47:28n1sddalton: no but that would be a setting in your tts engine or something you need to use a post processing tool on the wav for if the tts engine can't do it
23:48:04ddaltonn1s: but in the other makevoices vb script we could modify it to do that. But now with the configure script I can't work out how.
23:48:36n1sddalton: which engine are you building with?
23:49:03ddaltonn1s: sapi5. (espeak)
23:49:28ddaltonn1s: it says enter sapi options. Should I type something here?
23:49:35ddaltonor press enter for defaults
23:49:38n1sddalton: I never used that and never built voices on windows so i can't help you with that
23:49:41ddalton0.6 is the default...
23:49:48ddaltonok thanks anyway.
