00:08:01webguest40Is Rockbox supported on the 80/160 GB iPod "classic", anyone know?
00:08:07japcwebguest40: not
00:08:30webguest40What about 5.5 gen ipod video?
00:08:43Soapwebguest40, it is not - and will not be for a long time. It is completely different hardware than the previous iPod video, and Apple has gone to great lengths to lock the hardware down.
00:08:46Bagderwebguest40: the supported models are listed on the web site's front page
00:08:51Bagder5.5 gen is supported
00:08:59Soapthe 5.5 gen iPod video is a fully operational battle station.

00:09:36webguest40How bad is the default firmware on the ipod classics?
00:10:00SoapHow bad is broccoli?
00:10:04japclol!
00:10:11BagderI would expect most apple fan boys to tell you its amazing
00:10:13webguest40True, I see your point.
00:10:16Soapsome people love it - some people hate it.
00:10:20webguest40Yeah.
00:10:51scorche|wSoap: actually, with a lot of butter on it (enough to negate any nutritional gains from being a veggie), broccoli is quite good
00:11:04webguest40Woah.
00:11:09webguest40Salt maybe, but butter?
00:11:25krazykitscorche|w, so to make the ipod classic better, w have to put a lot of butter on?
00:11:29Soapand salt
00:11:33webguest40:)
00:11:47webguest40When you say 5.5 is supported, also the 80 GB?
00:11:50scorche|wkrazykit: juices of...actually...this is more in line of the current -community chat >_>
00:11:50Soap(and people say they never get a straight answer in here)
00:11:52krazykitrockbox is the salt and butter for DAPs
00:12:09 Quit n1s ()
00:12:25midgeywebguest40: yes, the 80GB is supported
00:12:25webguest40Because I remember a time when the 30 GB video was supported, but the 80 was not.
00:12:30webguest40Ok.
00:12:42Bagderthere was also a time when no ipod was supported ;-)
00:12:45webguest40:)
00:12:51midgeyah, good times
00:12:58webguest40Is anyone even trying the classic?
00:13:07scorche|wmidgey: they were peaceful :)
00:13:11Bagdernow, portalplayer has 83% of our downloads
00:13:13scorche|wwebguest40: nope
00:13:21JdGordonhow can anything be classic when the origional is only 6 years old??
00:13:27*midgey bought his first portalplayer target today
00:13:36webguest40Because the "touch" is out.
00:13:37pixelmamaybe some of the former zune-linux guys... ;)
00:13:47scorche|wmidgey: i think a good number of us bought a sansa today...
00:13:48webguest40And not touch is now "classic"
00:14:08midgeyscorche|w: indeed, great deal
00:14:16webguest40It's a marketing trick to make people pay a lot for getting 8 GB instead of 80
00:14:26krazykitwebguest40, well, now you're getting offtopic...
00:14:39webguest40Ok.

00:21:53amiconnstevenm: SDRAM is 16 bits wide on both PP and coldfire targets. Only IRAM is 32 bits wide
00:22:22stevenmamiconn, aah ok, thanks
00:22:42amiconnBut even then it's usually better to read 32 bit values if unstuffing isn't too difficult
00:23:40amiconnOn coldfire, one obvious reason is burst mode - reading one 32 bit value from sdram is faster than reading2 16 bit values
00:24:11stevenmamiconn, so we'd still get a little bit of speedup?
00:24:23 Part pixelma
00:24:45stevenmamiconn, does the coldfire have some sort of sdram cache?
00:24:48amiconnAnd if you take this further and switch to asm, using 32 bit allows multiple-register-reads which help reducing latencies especially on arm
00:26:15amiconnColdfire (well, those built into our coldfire targets) has an instruction cache only. Data is uncached
00:26:22 Nick fxb is now known as fxb__ (n=felixbru@h1252615.stratoserver.net)
00:27:06amiconnHence it is essential to put often used data structures into iram for speed on those
00:28:01amiconnThe PP targets have a unified cache (instructions and data), but keep in mind that the PP5002 has a broken cache that only reaches half the speed of what it should, so iram is important for code *and* data on PP5002
00:30:53 Quit roolku ()
00:31:41stevenmamiconn, Hmmm.. We are pulling in some samples for every voice.. maybe we can somehow cache those after reading them in burst mode.. but problem is that they don't occur in continuous space

01:07:24amiconnOkay, so it was that incorrect i2c timing
01:07:48 Quit Arathis ("Bye, bye")
01:07:53amiconnThe current driver still has one case where it would produce wrong timing - when sending a repeated start condition
01:07:53jhMikeSIt was jumping up by an item occasionally when pressing down before
01:08:09amiconnBut we don't use repeated start conditions anywhere afaik
01:08:46 Quit scorche|w ("CGI:IRC (Ping timeout)")
01:10:18jhMikeSOne problem now is that starting while in the cradle can cause a pending ONKEY1S since turnon while charging has a longer delay. Rockbox will then shut down...so I guess the timer needs resetting initially.
01:12:20amiconnbarrywardell: The hdd power control for small h10 is correct
01:13:12barrywardellthat's good to know
01:14:13barrywardellalthough from reports it sounds like the small h10 has much worse battery life than the big one. maybe it's just a lower powered battery
01:14:49jhMikeSIs H10 still that bad? I thought things improved a good bit.
01:15:23***Saving seen data "./dancer.seen"
01:15:40amiconnSmall h10 is still bad
01:16:10jhMikeSI thought your last battery checks gave a few more hours
01:16:18amiconnI think it's one of the worst atm, together with mini 1st gen
01:16:26amiconnNot on H10
01:16:31amiconnI get around 3 hours

01:17:30mrRabbithey guys, is ipod 160gb compatible with RockBox?
01:17:45lostlogicany new bugs while I've been pretending to work?
01:18:47jhMikeScheck the traps? they hide from the light.
01:18:49amiconnSmall H10 and mini 1st gen are the worst because (1) PP5020 needs more power than PP5022+, so the missing module disabling hurts more and (2) they see practically no savings from hdd poweroff because microdrives seem to auto-sleep like cf cards

01:22:20peturno one is working on it
01:22:55petur+ they encrypted the firmware
01:23:05Nico_Plostlogic: maybe we need a wiki page to summarize which bugs have been fixed, which remain and which tasks are planned next
01:23:10mrRabbitomg really?!!!!
01:23:24mrRabbitthat's so unfair
01:23:32mrRabbitthey just did it against RockBox?
01:23:33Nico_PmrRabbit: go tell that to Apple
01:23:40MarcGuayMay I have Wiki write permission please?
01:23:41amiconnThe so called 'classic' is an all-new target which has nothing in common with the earlier ipods than the name 'ipod'
01:23:52mrRabbitI mean there're no other firmware besides Rockbox & apple
01:24:05Nico_PmrRabbit: there's ipodlinux
01:24:46jhMikeSdon't imply that that one works on classic :D
01:25:12amiconnNah, it doesn't even work like it could on an ooold 1st gen ;)
01:25:20peturMarcGuay: done
01:25:35amiconn(that is, it draws more battery power and runs slower than it could, unlike rockbox) :)
01:25:41jhMikeSamiconn: does ipl even bother check out what's known from RB re?
01:26:15Nico_Plostlogic: http://www.rockbox.org/wiki/SoftwareCodecPlayback could be the place... It could also do with a bit of updating

01:26:26Nico_PI might start the work tomorrow
01:26:32mrRabbitI mean some ppl like the ipod's native OS, but why not make it available for others, it just increases sales
01:27:08amiconnmrRabbit: Tell that to Apple... preferably with backing from lots of other potential users...
01:27:25mrRabbitI would if they'd listen
01:27:37jhMikeSamiconn: what do they do over there? just run little apps with no battery time to actually use them?
01:27:37lostlogicNico_P: that would be awesome
01:27:43lostlogicI'm a horrible person when it comes to documenting my work.
01:28:00mrRabbithas some one taken a look at the firmware though? as in, sufficiently to estimate how difficult it is to port?
01:28:04lostlogicI converse about my work, not so much document.
01:28:29jhMikeSlostlogic: comments :) I don't doubt there's probably some wiki API stuff I made sorely out of date.
01:28:38amiconnjhMikeS: I only tried ipl once, on my mini 2nd gen. It booted once (with graphical glitches due to the "fractional bytes" on the right edge of the lcd). AFter shutting down, it refused to boot at all.
01:28:40Nico_Plostlogic: hehe :) a short summary of which bugs were recently fixed would be nice...

01:29:06amiconnSo I restored the ipod using the apple ipod updater, then started porting rockbox
01:29:07Nico_PjhMikeS: the wiki page aout the kernel needs an update! ;)
01:29:11lostlogicNico_P: ok, I'll do that.
01:29:21Nico_Plostlogic: thanks :)
01:29:28jhMikeSNico_P: I'd think so. :p
01:29:45Nico_Plostlogic: it will probably reveal very useful for regression testing
01:29:56amiconnThe time span: receiving ipod->trying ipl->restoring->starting to port rockbox->first music playback was ~10 hours
01:30:12mrRabbitI'm just wondering about the likelihood of some one doing it in the near future
01:30:32jhMikeSprobably less time than it would take to get iPL to actually work
01:30:41amiconnI don't know
01:31:03jhMikeSjust a snickering guess on my part :)
01:31:09amiconnI think that putting in our improvements shouldn't be difficult - if you're familiar with linux kernel sources

02:38:56Mouser_Xlostlogic: Is ADX playback fixed? I was listening to some today (on my Gigabeat, using a build from about 9-10 hours ago), and at some point, once the track was finished, it stopped playing.
02:39:39Mouser_XIt went to the next track, but never started playing it. If I stopped it, my Gigabeat stopped responding. I had to start a new playlist to get it working again.

03:17:49lostlogicMouser_X: adx will not be fixed until the codec is changed to read by frames/packets instead of attempting to read the whole file at once.
03:17:54lostlogicMouser_X: codec bug ;)
03:18:14Mouser_XIt worked for a bit. 20ish minutes?
03:18:49lostlogicwas it at a track boundary that it stopped?
03:19:03Mouser_XYes. The file had finished playing.
03:19:04lostlogicyeah, it'll work until a track wraps the buffer
03:19:34lostlogicand that's the way it will be until the codec is changed... and the codec is compatible with packet reading so it's a codec issue, not a buffering issue (sorry ;))
03:19:55Mouser_XIt happened twice. I stopped listening to ADXs after that. In both instances though, it completed the current file, as near as I can remember/tell.
03:20:24Mouser_XAh. I did think it odd that it finished the file, if it was a buffer issue.

06:07:07lemurWhy so down
06:07:16Mouser_X*abstradidly.
06:07:26Mouser_X*abstractidly
06:07:41lemurI ordered a sansa player from woot.com
06:08:04scorchea lot of us did
06:08:07lemurAt first I was thinking, "Shucks, what am I going to do with a stupid mp3/wma player... it doesn't even support ogg"
06:08:22Mouser_Xscorche beat me to it (I got 2).
06:08:25lemurThen I perked up when I read about rockbox supporting it as a platform.
06:08:26Langlyhmm odd
06:09:07Langlyhave a 1st gen ipod going to install rockbox on it, give me "It seems your Bootloader is already up to day. do you really want to install it"
06:09:23Langlythen unsupported install method

06:10:31Langlythere we go ffs
06:10:47lemurSo what I really want learn about firmware
06:11:01lemurHas to do with the liklihood of bricking my shiny new player
06:11:12Mouser_Xlemur: Read the manual.
06:11:18lemurWhich one?
06:11:31Mouser_XReally, so long as you follow the instructions, you'll be fine.
06:11:41Mouser_XThe manual for the Sansa e200 perhaps?
06:12:29Mouser_Xhttp://www.rockbox.org/manual.shtml
06:12:33scorchelemur: i dont know of anyone who bricked their sansa with rockbox (although one claimed)....people have been able to get it into a brick-like state by ignoring our directions though
06:12:56JdGordonor just been idiots with it.. you cant brick the sansa though
06:13:25scorchewell, you can, but it requires a clue
06:13:37scorchend an actual effort
06:13:45lemurI'll be sure to read the manual
06:13:50Mouser_XI could do it. It'd involve a sledge hammer though.
06:13:54JdGordonthats what they all say ":p
06:14:02lemurI was just wondering if it had any firmware restore features
06:14:19Mouser_XYes, the e200 does have restoring features.
06:14:43lemuryay
06:14:46lemurRockbox makes my day
06:15:23lemurDon't you think some enterprising company would manufacture and ship a player with Rockbox preinstalled?
06:15:46JdGordonnot likely
06:15:55lemurwell I know companies here are nuts about DRM

06:31:21scorchewell, we just cant do it
06:31:26Falco98ttuttle: i can only tell you my experience −−
06:31:43Falco98i got my iriver h140 about a year and a half ago, and used the default firmware for maybe 2 days
06:31:48Falco98put rockbox on and was amazed
06:31:56ttuttleFalco98: Hmm, seems fun enough.
06:32:15Falco98several months later I tried the original firmware again just to see what i'd think, and it was like walking around with concrete shoes
06:32:19ttuttleFalco98: The thing is, I like my iAudio, despite the fact that it doesn't run Rockbox.
06:32:27ttuttleFalco98: So I'm not buying it as an MP3 player −− just another gadget.
06:32:33psycho_maniacyour lucky. i had to use the OF on the iriver h120 for a couple months. everything i always wished for rockbox had already.
06:32:56lemurwait, tetris?
06:32:57Falco98gotcha.. if you're itching for something to have rockbox on, it might be cool anyway. especially at $35... are they on special or something?

06:33:47Falco98wow nice, heh
06:33:51scorchei meant ttuttle :)
06:33:52psycho_maniacno rockbox had what i wanted.
06:33:58ttuttleoh, what can rockbox play for video? is it better than the "native" video players? does it have a-v sync problems?
06:33:59Falco98though 2 gigs seems a little tiny, but for a flash player i could jostle a bit...
06:34:06Falco98ahh, yeah
06:34:09ttuttlei'd kill for something that actually played video well that wasn't video-iPod sized and expensive.
06:34:15psycho_maniaci remember one time i fell asleep scrolling through all my songs it took so long. no joke but i was tired also
06:34:18ttuttleFalco98: SDHC FTW.
06:34:36Falco98ttuttle: hehe yeah
06:34:39ttuttleHow's the video?
06:34:52scorchettuttle: you can find out in the manual, depends on the device, not if encoded correctly

06:38:10LloreanNothing close to the gigabeat, but quite watchable
06:38:16LloreanAnd far, far better than the original firmware on the Sansa
06:38:18lemurI'm glad I secured my order... sounds like they're going to sell out
06:38:20ttuttleLlorean: Any A-V sync problems?
06:38:38ttuttlelemur: Nah, they're not even down to 10% left yet.
06:39:03lemurnice
06:39:13Mouser_Xttuttle: In truth, I'd say the Gigabeat is 1st place in (almost?) everything, with Rockbox on it. The Sansa e200 takes 2nd for a few reasons. (IMHO of course)
06:39:16Lloreanttuttle: Not if you encode at the recommended quality levels
06:39:26ttuttleDone.
06:39:35ttuttleI've got one.
06:39:36LloreanMouser_X: The H100 series trounces the Gigabeat in most categories that aren't related to the display, or sheer processing power.
06:39:42ttuttleMan, woot is a money sink.
06:40:10psycho_maniacreally Llorean. why is that? because its been around longer and almost ready for a rockbox release?
06:40:18Mouser_XLlorean: Ah. I know that topic had come up before, but I had forgotten (I don't have one of those, and have no experience with it.)
06:40:27scorchedifferent devices have different capabilities...
06:40:36scorchespdif, battery life, etc
06:41:00psycho_maniacthey were very nice. i say were because i had one LOVED it and then sold it and when i got it back it was in horrible shape
06:41:33Mouser_XSo, the Gigabeat is 2nd, and the Sansa takes 3rd?
06:41:40Mouser_X:P
06:41:52Lloreanpsycho_maniac: Recording features, the option for bit-perfect output quality, LCD remote, better resistance to drops (the gigabeat snaps open if you drop it at just the right angle), and a few other things.
06:42:30Mouser_XHmmm. Those are some very nice features.
06:42:44psycho_maniacoh yes. i havnt used one in so long. recording was very nice on that plaayer. i kinda miss it

06:43:16Mouser_X(Recording would be nice, as would an LCD remote. However, I'm fine with the remote the Gigabeat has.)
06:43:39LloreanThe gigabeat remote isn't bad, but I do miss being able to manipulate the playlist from the remote.
06:44:01psycho_maniaci was happy with the remote for a couple days. i could deal with a remote without a lcd.
06:44:17Mouser_XYou can, if you practice enough. Can't you access the main menu from the remote?
06:44:35psycho_maniacon the iriver yes. not sure on the gigabeat
06:44:37LloreanWell yes, but then you have to take the Gigabeat itself out of the bag or pocket

06:45:34psycho_maniaci tried it just to see how it worked. got annoying after awhile.
06:45:38lemurIt's like that album, Tommy, by The Who
06:47:10Mouser_XI don't have voice enabled either. As such, it does make manipulating the playlist difficult. But it could be done if you pracitce enough. (But it's probably not worth the time and effort to practice that much).

07:33:41Mouser_Xwoodensoul: If you've tried every method, then hopefully you've tried this one: Did you use WinFF? It's worked wonders for me.
07:34:05Mouser_XIt's even worked on videos that crash all the other players I've tried to play them on.
07:34:30Mouser_X(Of course, the result of those videos was very poor, but they were at least watchable.)
07:35:00 Part loa_dude ("Ex-Chat")
07:35:30woodensoulYes, I've tried that one. I'm not able to get any of them to work and I'm thinking it has something to do with the source files have multi channel audio.
07:36:10Lloreanwoodensoul: I regularly convert 5.1 audio to 2-channel MP3 for my videos in WinFF
07:37:03woodensoulLlorean: I guess I must need to modify the instrucions on the site to get it to work then.
07:38:11Mouser_XWhat do you do, using WinFF, to convert? For me, it's as simple as adding the video in question, selecting the target (Gigabeat, in my case), and giving a destincation. Click convert, and it's as good as done.
07:38:21Mouser_XEven on really screwed up videos.
07:39:31woodensoulWell it's been awhile, but I remember doing exactly that, but I got an error message and the conversion wouldn't work.
07:39:47lemurI love rockbox
07:40:03Mouser_Xwoodensoul: What was the message?
07:40:10woodensoulGive me a second and I'll tell you exactly what the message is.

07:45:20woodensoulI'm having a problem getting the Rockbox presets to load
07:45:36woodensoulI replaced the presets.xml with the one on the site.
07:45:43Mouser_XAh.
07:45:52Mouser_XYou've got the wrong version of WinFF.
07:45:59Mouser_XYou need 0.29
07:46:14woodensoulGotcha
07:46:17woodensoulI'll install .29
07:46:18Mouser_XFor some reason, 0.31 doesn't load the presets from that preset.xml file.
07:46:31woodensoulbut the last time I was able to get the presets to load... one sec again
07:48:06Mouser_XAfter some learning/figuring out, I was able to import the presets to 0.31, but I went back to 0.29 anyway, since 0.31 seemed to cause massive corruption on my converted videos (though, it might not have been 0.31 that caused that. I was never able to pin it down exactly).
07:48:48woodensoulhow can I tell which aspect ratio to select?
07:48:57 Quit psycho_maniac (Read error: 110 (Connection timed out))
07:49:01Mouser_XWhat player do you use?
07:49:07LloreanMouser_X: Wrong
07:49:17LloreanIs the source video "widescreen" or "fullscreen"
07:49:25Mouser_XSorry, I mistook aspect ratio.
07:49:41LloreanIt's source AR, since all the players are nominally ~4:3
07:49:41woodensoulSeveral of them, but at the moment I'm trying for the Sansa. The source video is not fullscreen, so that would be 16:9 right?
07:49:42Mouser_X(very rarely do I have to select something other than 4:3)
07:50:19LloreanThough I'm going to make presets for .31 soon, with better aspect ratios (4:3 and 16:9 and Fullscreen choices for players where fullscreen isn't exactly 4:3)
07:50:32Lloreanor rather, isn't the best approximation
07:51:23woodensoulK, here comes the error...
07:52:11Mouser_XLlorean: Oddly enough, when I converted Back to the Future, the resulting video (not the resolution but the actual images) was the same size, regardless of what aspect ratio I chose. I find this odd, because all the other videos I'd converted got either squished, or stretched, when I changed aspect ratios.
07:52:25woodensoulResampling with input channels greater than 2 unsupported. Can't resample. Aboring.
07:53:00LloreanMouser_X: Very strange
07:53:25woodensoul*Aborting*
07:54:05woodensoulthe source file is .avi with ac3 audio, 48000 Hz, 5:1, 384 kb/s
07:54:14woodensoulas reported by WinFF
07:54:48LloreanOdd, I've converted from DVDs which had AC3, 48khz, 5:1, 448kbps I believe.
07:54:56Mouser_XI even edited the BttF video, to force it to be widescreen (the original file has black bars above and below). After converting, the black bars were back...
07:56:21woodensoulIt also says "Seems stream 0 codec frame rate differs from container frame rate: 23.98 (65535/2733) -> 23.98 (2997/125)"
07:56:36LloreanThat's pretty usual
07:57:34woodensoulAny ideas on my error?
07:58:04LloreanI dunno
07:58:19LloreanTry using winff .31 and importing the presets from within the program. I think it can import older presets
07:58:31LloreanIt seems like something that would be fixed by a newer ffmpeg version
07:58:41LloreanBut my presets definitely won't work with the newer ffmpegs since they renamed some of the codecs
07:59:32Mouser_XAh. That could be why my videos were so garbled... I just did copy+paste between the 2 versions.
07:59:52woodensoulhow can i import the presets from within the program?

08:01:02amiconnmo0ning
08:01:10amiconnLlorean: You have a nano, right?
08:01:29Lloreanamiconn: Yes. But not with me, I'm away from home and most of my players until a week from Wed.
08:01:58amiconnHmm. Do you know whether the OF has backlight brightness control?
08:02:08LloreanNot that I've seen
08:02:16amiconnI *think* it does not from looking at the ROM
08:02:18LloreanBut I may have missed it.
08:02:33amiconnBtw, the nano seems to be the only ipod with just 512KB ROM
08:02:38LloreanI'd say it doesn't, but I'm just not wholly sure. I did look through the options when I got it.
08:03:40amiconnIf it doesn't, I will split the backlight driver for nano/video when adding brightness control for video
08:05:01woodensoulwell i tried copying the params from the presets.xml to the .31 version, but it didn't work. The command line pops up and quickly closes.
08:08:04woodensoulIt's working now that I've put in the -an parameter, but that removes the audio. Not exactly what I wanted, but it does tell us something.
08:08:14Lloreanamiconn: In fact, I'm *almost* certain it doesn't, because I remember the newer 1 gigabyte models being dimmer than 2/4 gigabyte ones
08:09:01LloreanLeading to people wanting a brightness option under the assumption that it was the same hardware at a different brightness.
08:09:36*JdGordon looks for his nano to check
08:11:34JdGordonamiconn: i cant find any brightness controls
08:11:43scorchenope...there is backlight timer, but that is it
08:11:49amiconnok
08:12:19LloreanThough does that necessarily mean it can't be adjusted?
08:12:56amiconnThat makes me wonder a bit why the nano uses the same 2 port pins for switching the backlight as the video
08:13:27amiconnI guess it's 2 pins one the video because one switches the actual backlight power, and the other switches power to the pwm circuit

08:47:53*JdGordon in the "get rid of the difference" party
08:48:11LloreanJdGordon: That would make it more of a hassle to clear your playlist then.
08:48:20JdGordonin fact... i've had a thought about how to do it so its no problem
08:48:35LloreanWhat's that, make the freed up button a "clear playlist" button?
08:48:47JdGordonthats 1 idea..
08:49:14LloreanBecause I'm quite strongly against someone reducing the playlisting functionality, which is basically what would happen if you removed the separated features.
08:49:15JdGordonno, i was thinking if the music is "stopped/paused" then diong any playlist adding starts a new one, as it is now
08:49:32*JdGordon thought eh problem was with it restarting and having to know if its a "new" playlist or not
08:49:36LloreanThen it's pretty much impossible to manipulate a playlist without music playing
08:49:46LloreanSuch as pausing it, and building a playlist before a party starts or whatnot.
08:50:10amiconnPause and stop have a difference that's worth keeping both
08:50:23amiconn*that makes it worth
08:50:29LloreanI think the only thing that really needs to be focused on is the fact that voice can't work while Paused right now.

09:37:36pondlifeJdGordon Stopping playback (or starting a new playlist) shouldn't need the buffer clearing.
09:37:50pondlifeYou don't know if the new playback will require currently buffered data
09:37:59pondlifeNo need to spinup just for the sake of it
09:38:14pondlifeBuffer should only be cleared when room is needed for more data
09:39:12pondlifeAnd I hope noone's serious about removing the clear playlist warning ;)
09:39:15JdGordonthis is wha im saying.... it should be easy to set a flag if the playlist changes while playback is stopped and only rebuffer if that flag was set
09:39:29pondlifeNo, should be simpler than that
09:40:09pondlifePlayback requests the next file, if it's in the buffer, it's returned from the buffer. If not, then it's read from disk, clearing old data if needed.
09:40:29pondlifeFor file, read chunk.
09:40:42pondlifeNo need for special cases
09:40:55pondlifeStop/pause should be different, but only at a UI level
09:41:07pondlifeOn SWCODEC, I mean, of course
09:41:27JdGordonthough that means the buffering needs to keep track of the filenames in the buffer.. which is the same case as not rebufffering the same track multiple times
09:41:40pondlifeIndeed
09:41:53pondlifeBut we can add that behind the API in the future.
09:42:09pondlifeThere's no need for the playback/playlist code to concern itself
09:43:27JdGordonwhich brings us back to "[18:53:29] <amiconn> It's desired behaviour..." re flushing the buffer on stop
09:43:49JdGordonit sholdnt be flushed unless something needs it (which sounds like voice would)

09:46:05*Bagder agrees
09:46:27pondlifeAnd that should tie in nicely with the dynamic (i.e. unsaved) playlist warning
09:46:48pondlifeI don't see that the STOP state needs to have anything to do with that
09:51:53pondlifeProblems are that (a) PAUSE kills voice and (b) resuming from STOP is slower than from PAUSE

09:51:54JdGordonfor next time can you do # downloads / number of commits for the month? or does that only make sense in my twisted-sleep-deprived mind?

09:51:54Bagderwell, at least it's a number I can calculate and yeah it could be interesting to see if the increased amount is due to more commits
09:51:54Bagderpondlife: http://daniel.haxx.se/blog/2007/11/06/rockbox-downloads-oct-2007/
09:51:54pondlifeThanks
09:51:54JdGordonpondlife: right, so what Im saying should happen is if STOP was pressed it should act the same as PAUSE unless voiced before restart

09:51:54pondlifeNo
09:51:54pondlifeNo special cases

09:51:54JdGordonthen fix voice :p
09:51:54***Alert Mode level 1
09:51:54pondlifeLater
09:51:59pondlifeFor now, PAUSE and STOP remain seperate (STOP for voice, PAUSE for fast resume).
09:52:24pondlifeBut we clear out the logical differences with playlist handling etc.
09:52:46pondlifeThen, later, when we have low-latency PCM, we can clear out the voice/resume stuff
09:52:52pondlifeAnd then free up a button
09:53:08pondlifeIt'll take a while I expect (that last bit).
09:53:15BagderJdGordon: october had 2% more commits
09:53:26Bagderthan august
09:53:32pondlifeFirst is to get agreement (and documentation) on what the playlist logic should be

10:14:56pondlifeOK
10:16:18JdGordonjust had a very quick look and I dont tihnk the playlist is actually erased untill a new one is created
10:16:24JdGordonits the unbuffering which is the problem

10:19:02JdGordonapart from bloat... is there any reason why the core shuold be able to work with a playlist thats not the current one?
10:19:13pondlifeKISS
10:19:15JdGordon.. apart from saving and loading to a file
10:19:28pondlifeOne at a time seems best for the UI IMHO
10:19:37JdGordonthe core already does this.. thats why im asking
10:19:43JdGordonor it seems to..
10:19:43pondlifeI would like to have it remember the filename of the current playlist though
10:20:13pondlifeSo the "dynamic" playlist warning becomes more general and prompts for unsaved changes
10:20:31pondlifePlaylist Catalog helps, but it could be more automatic
10:20:33JdGordonthat sounds reasonable
10:20:41 Quit woodensoul ()
10:20:50pondlifeBut ony one playlist at a time still
10:21:10pondlifeThere are a lot of special cases in playlist handling that could be removed, I suspect.
10:21:20pondlifeIt needs a logical going-over, so to speak.
10:21:30amiconnJdGordon: Stop *must not* act the same as Pause for hwcodec
10:21:34JdGordonwe need a new API.. then me to do a half assed attempt.. then get Nico onto it :D
10:22:04pondlifeamiconn: We're only talking about playlists, not changing the actual STOP/PAUSE audio handling.
10:22:12JdGordonamiconn: untill the playback engines are merged that shouldnt be a problem
10:22:34pondlifeThat can't happen on SWCODEC either, until the voice and fast resume issues are fixed.
10:22:47amiconnpondlife: It *is* due to playlists and the buffer, not audio output
10:22:54pondlifeAh?
10:23:06pondlifePlaylist clearing is required for MAS to talk?
10:23:09amiconnVoice cannot work on hwcodec while the buffer is taken
10:23:19amiconnNo, buffer clearing is required
10:23:19JdGordonright, but the playlist stays in memory
10:23:25pondlifeAnd the buffer is needed for the playlist?
10:23:35pondlifeI'm only talking about the list, not the audio data.
10:23:43amiconnThe playlists stays in memory anyway
10:23:54amiconnI think you were talking about the audio data
10:23:57pondlifeNo
10:24:22pondlifeThat would be nice on SWCODEC, once playlists are consistently handled and the buffering bugs all fixed
10:24:44pondlifeBut not part of the current work at all
10:25:11*amiconn would rather keep the current stop/puase differentiation, and just fix the voice during pause problem on swcodec
10:25:37pondlifeWe are keeping STOP/PAUSE differentiation.
10:25:52amiconnBtw, voice needing the main buffer is in fact not a hwcodec issue, but a lowmem issue
10:26:15amiconnIt also applies to the iFP (well, maybe not yet)
10:26:32pondlifeThe problem is in playlist-handling when stopped. Some parts of the code treat this as if the playlist isn't available, when it is.
10:26:40pondlifeOr at least the UI seems to
10:26:42amiconnwhere?
10:27:43pondlifeInsert
10:27:57pondlifeIt always clears the playlist
10:28:35amiconnAh, yes. I much prefer it that way
10:28:36pondlifeShould allow inserting into an existing playlist while stopped. I don't see how playlist handling should be tied into STOP/PLAY state.
10:28:45pondlifeI'd prefer them to be totally independent
10:29:08pondlifeSimpler to understand, and simpler code too, I hope
10:29:16amiconnIt makes it way easier to start a new, shuffled playlist without the cumbersome switch to shuffle mode, by using "insert shuffled"
10:29:25JdGordonthats going back to the problem with how do you know when to create a new list or add to the current one?
10:29:52pondlifeSelect a track to start it playing in a new playlist (with right or SELECT).
10:30:09pondlifeBut Insert just inserts
10:30:19amiconnAnd what about 'insert shuffled'?
10:30:32pondlifeI don't see that option when stopped
10:30:32amiconnI would hate to lose that method
10:30:56amiconnDirectories have it
10:31:08JdGordona possibly not-so-nice way of doing it is changing the playlist option to "Playlist (current)" and "Playlist (new)" and have the same options in both
10:31:31pondlifeUrgh, no
10:31:38pondlifeSimple is good
10:31:51amiconnIt's simple like it is now, imo
10:31:58JdGordonsimple without losing flexibility sucks though
10:32:40pondlifeI'm happy for it to start playback, but I don't want it to clear my existing playlist.
10:33:02pondlifei.e. insert shuffled logically would insert that album shuffled into the current playlist, no?
10:33:17JdGordonOR... we could add a "clear playlist" option to the playlists main menu... then keep all the current options and alwys instert into the current list
10:33:19pondlifeThe word "insert" implies that
10:33:32amiconnurgh
10:34:25JdGordonlast option.... add a clear playlist item to the insert menu (the bottom item)?
10:34:47pondlifeI don't like the need for a new option
10:34:55pondlifeThere must be another way.
10:34:59JdGordonthere has to be a way to clear the playlist somewhere...
10:35:16pondlifeYes, selecting a file..
10:35:28pondlifeIt's only on directories we have a problem, right?
10:35:37JdGordonumm.. yeah
10:36:13pondlifeSo, the context menu has options for "Play" and "Play shuffled" ?
10:36:23pondlifeThose are destructive
10:36:42pondlifeInsert always inserts, play implies a clear
10:36:50pondlifeThat should make sense
10:37:08JdGordonyeah.. we use that notion already with "play next"
10:37:21pondlifeThen we can have the same options when stopped or playing
10:37:39pondlifeCurrently most options are unavailable when stopped
10:37:39*amiconn isn't convinced at all
10:37:47pondlifeWhy?
10:37:48amiconnThe current behaviour is nice & simple...
10:37:54pondlifeI disagree
10:38:02pondlifeIt's not intuitive at all.
10:38:08JdGordonand single files? replace "insert" with "play"?
10:38:16pondlifeNo, have both
10:38:29JdGordonisnt instert the same as insert next?
10:38:38pondlifeProbably..
10:38:40JdGordonor insert last?
10:39:14amiconnInsert is not the same as inerst next, and also not as insert last
10:39:28JdGordonwhere does insert put it?
10:39:32pondlifeIt's insert after last insertion, isn't it?
10:40:16*JdGordon would actually like to change insert to open the playlist editor and give the user full control on where to insert it
10:40:25pondlifeUrgh, no
10:40:37pondlifeThe browser is the list you want to concentrate on
10:40:40*JdGordon getting used to all these "no"'s :p
10:41:09pondlifeThe playlist editor is weak for tag users troo.

10:42:34JdGordonyour just arguing for the sake of arguing...
10:42:43pondlifeNo I'm not ;)
10:43:00JdGordonwhat im suggesting is just a list with the current playlist and a flashing item for the new track
10:43:44JdGordonwhich wont work so well for dirplay though
10:43:47pondlifeAnyway, anyone got a good reason why we should have Play and Insert options on the context menu to make it clearer, and unify the playing/stopped playlist options?

11:58:47CaptainSquid83i think it's still worth doing it as it fixes the problem for most

12:19:24David_Umm, I've just installed Rockbox today and all was going well- but I've changed my theme and now I can't see anything. It's as if I have a black font on a black background or something. Anyone know anything about it?
12:19:40 Join GodEater [0] (n=bryan@rockbox/staff/GodEater)
12:19:42markunlemur: yes, there is a text editor, but I don't know how nice it is. You could try the rockbox simulator to find out.
12:23:50linuxstbDavid_: I assume you're asking how you can fix it?
12:24:47David_Yes, I think I may need to just change my theme again for it to fix itself but I can't read my way through the menus to get there. I'm using a Gigabeat F series.
12:25:13linuxstbYou can attach it to your computer and delete (or edit) the .rockbox/config.cfg file with a text editor
12:25:42linuxstbOr you can hold a key whilst booting to reset your settings, I don't know what that button is on the Gigabeat though.
12:25:59David_Deleting the config will just reset the theme?
12:26:14David_Will it reset anything else?
12:30:37David_Nevermind, cheers.

12:54:33amiconn(1) The chip is definitely not overclocked. (2) It was *not* just the clock frequency which was changed. We also do the pll setup correctly now
12:55:24amiconn(3) No other target, be it PP5020 or PP5022 based, has a problem when running at 80MHz
12:57:03linuxstbBut aren't the Coldfire chips specified to around 140MHz, but are only stable in our targets at a lower speed?
12:57:58amiconnThe 5249's in the irivers are marked with a "120" on them, and the 5250 is specced 120MHz by default
12:58:09amiconnAnd we're running them at 124MHz...
12:58:53amiconnThis is done for timer precision.

14:43:32 Join mignish [0] (n=mignish@c-66-41-28-227.hsd1.mi.comcast.net)
14:44:02hcsyeah, I would have said it but I was away
14:44:26linuxstbSo how does looping work? Looking at the source it seems you're abusing the playlist repeat settings... ;)
14:44:43hcsto toggle it, yeah
14:45:02hcsit loops back to some point in the file, not necessarily to the beginning
14:45:23hcswith repeat one it loops indefinitely, which I think is a reasonable behavior
14:45:37linuxstbSo ideally we need to tell the buffering code to try to never unbuffer an ADX track, if looping is enabled?
14:45:47hcsideally
14:45:48mignishIs it a common problem for only some of the artists to appear in the artists list?
14:46:08mignish...even when they appear on the regular iPod software?
14:46:21markunlinuxstb: ideally only keep everything after the loop start in buffer :)
14:46:32hcsmarkun: good point
14:46:50linuxstbmignish: Rockbox is independent to Apple's software. It reads the artist information from the tags in your music files, not from the database created by itunes.
14:46:59hcsat the moment I'll just have it read a frame at a time so at least it will work, though it might pause somewhere
14:47:59 Quit JdGordon ("Konversation terminated!")
14:48:15mignishlinuxstb: That is weird. When I RockBox is not installed all of the artists show up correctly. All of the songs have tags, so they should be showing up. Could it have been a problem when Rockbox created the database then?
14:49:06linuxstbmignish: How do you know all the songs have tags? And what kind of tags are they (and what format audio files)?
14:49:24mignishBecause I edit them with kid3
14:49:26linuxstbmignish: Also, if you select one of the "untagged" files, does the artist name appear in the While Playing Screen (WPS)?
14:49:36mignishi'll try that.
14:49:56linuxstbThat should tell you if the problem is a) Rockbox can't read the tags at all; b) Something went wrong with the database creation
14:50:58mignishOh yeah... i forgot. I have a ton of artists missing from the list but when I goto untagged, there are only like five songs. There should be a very long list being there are more then half of the artists missing from the list.
14:51:31mignish..it doesn't show the artist name.
14:52:19mignishSo will Rockbox ignore the tags I make using gtkPod?
14:52:39linuxstbIt depends if gtkpod edits the tags in the files, or just the itunes database.
14:52:45mignishok
14:53:18mignishI'll look into this more and mess around with the tags. Thanks for the help.
14:53:21PaulJambut even if rockbox fails to read the tags, the songs should appear in the "untagged" section.
14:53:36mignishThat's what I thought.
14:53:54linuxstbmignish: And you're using id3 tags, not something odd like APEv2?
14:54:54mignishUnder "albums" many of the missing artists are listed there. It's odd.... Yes i'm using id3 tags... (k)id3 is a KDE app for editing id3 tags.
14:55:12mignishi don't think I can edit or add any other tags using kid3
14:56:03linuxstbThere's also a setting in Rockbox to set id3v1/id3v2 preference - you should check that is correct for your files.
14:56:33mignishI was wondering about that.
14:56:55mignishI usually make v1 and v2 but I'll see if it makes a diff.

16:33:15 Quit CaptainSquid83 ("Miranda IM!")
16:33:41eigmaone sec...
16:34:27eigmaI think it's documented on www.mrobe.org/forum one some long-lost thread
16:34:55mignishIf the file extension of a file was in caps would that make a difference in Rockbox?
16:35:06pondlifeHmm, Flyspray advanced search for Open bugs seems to be including closed bugs
16:35:09pondlifehttp://www.rockbox.org/tracker/index.php?tasks=&project=1&string=&type=2&sev=&due=&dev=&cat=11&status=&date=0
16:35:19eigmaI can give you an overview, but I may get the details wrong - I haven't had to encode/decode an image in a while
16:35:34linuxstbeigma: Do you have any plans for an easy install method for the mrobe? IIUC, the current situation is that you need to install a hacked version of the original firmware?
16:35:37pondlifeOops, my mistake
16:35:38 Part IvoBurkart
16:35:55amiconnpondlife: All LCD remotes have backlight. In fact all targets except Ondio have backlight (and on Ondio it's prepared on the PCB)
16:35:59eigmalinuxstb: to my knowledge, we don't currently have any other way of getting the OF to execute our code
16:36:02linuxstbeigma: It's OK - I was just asking from a more theoretical point of view, i.e. if it's public knowledge.
16:36:02 Part Merthsoft ("Leaving")
16:36:15eigmalinuxstb: nor is the m:robe port nearly mature enough imho, but that's a different topic

16:37:45linuxstbeigma: Am I right in thinking that the "exploited" firmware file that I've seen on various forums has been modified (i.e. third-party code added), or is it a standard (i.e. unmodified) firmware file where someone has found an exploit?
16:38:27eigmalinuxstb: iirc, it basically happened like this:
16:38:59eigmalinuxstb: shirour figured out that the firmware uses a version of libpng (or was it libjpeg) that had a published vulnerability
16:39:37eigmalinuxstb: he tried to exploit it, but gave up after a bit. he patched a few bytes in an OF image to get the remix feature to execute code, and that's the modified image we've been working on ever since.
16:40:17eigmalinuxstb: on a related note, I have jtag on my player, so I seldom use the exploit - for the masses, though, the modified firmware is the only way atm.
16:40:36linuxstbDo you what happens when the OF is installed? Is it written to flash rom, or stored on the disk?
16:40:37eigmalinuxstb: I think the term "exploited firmware", which can be seen in a few places like the wiki, is a misnomer in this case
16:41:24eigmawe don't know very much about the firmware update process. from what I reversed way back then, the PC app sends some SCSI control codes to the USB MSD device to check the current firmware version and upload the new image
16:41:46eigmathe new firmware image seems to be written to disk after this first stage
16:42:01Bagderwell ums is scsi over usb basically, isn't it?
16:42:29eigmayes; in this particular case, it uses some SCSI control codes that are "vendor-defined" by the scsi standards
16:42:34Bagderaha
16:42:43lostlogicNico_P: what do you think about adding this before the loop in bufgetdata so that it won't get ugly on hcs? size = MIN(size,RINGBUF_SUB(buffer_len,h->ridx)+GUARD_BUFSIZE);
16:43:00eigmathen, the player reboots (you are asked to make sure you're on AC power), and then the player tells you to wait patiently (presumably it's flashing, since this process takes on the order of minutes)
16:43:53eigmait reboots again, and you're in the new firmware
16:44:11linuxstbYes, that sounds like a flash upgrade - especially the AC power bit.
16:44:13eigmaso, from what I can tell, two-stage with firmware on the HDD in-between
16:44:50eigmaa little bit of info on the firmware images: http://www.mrobe.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=1246
16:46:51linuxstbSo currently, how is Rockbox booted? Do you have to first boot into the original firmware, and then do something to start Rockbox?
16:46:57eigmaand a python script that demonstrates it all: http://www.mrobe.org/forum/viewtopic.php?p=10692
16:47:02lostlogicNico_P: never mind, that is not the root of the problem.
16:47:27Nico_Plostlogic: ok I can stop thinking then :p
16:47:30*Nico_P is tired
16:48:49eigmakkurbjun, JdGordon and all other users must: install the modified firmware, replace an SVG file on the HDD with a small first-stage loader, place rockbox.mr500 in the root directory, then start up their player, and choose the "Remix" feature.
16:49:34Nico_Plostlogic: what is hcs' problem?
16:49:46 Part Honkboy ("Leaving.")
16:49:53eigmathe SVG file is loaded into RAM by the Remix feature, shirour's modification JMPs to the contents of the file, this bootloader uses hooks in the OF (fopen, fread, etc.) to load rockbox.mr500 into RAM, and JMPs there
16:50:19eigmathe reason this has to be two-stage is that this remix svg file can't be too large.. on the order of 10K from what I can tell
16:50:38lostlogicNico_P: his problem is that he requests _logs_ of data and then doesn't get it and is stuck in a lon g(infinite?) loop waiting for it
16:50:55pondlifelogs or lots?
16:51:02lostlogicNico_P: revision: http://test.lostlogicx.com/transfer/rockbox/20071106_do_not_freeze.patch
16:51:05lostlogiclots
16:51:13lostlogicI type good.
16:51:17linuxstbeigma: I think the normal approach on such targets would be to append a Rockbox bootloader (basically a stripped-down Rockbox, containing LCD, button, ATA drivers) to the original firmware image, and then modify the first instruction in the original firmware to branch to our bootloader.
16:51:56Nico_Plostlogic: oh yes I remember thinking it could be a problem
16:52:01linuxstbOur bootloader could either return to the original firmware if a button is being held, or load Rockbox from disk.
16:52:09eigmawill keep in mind; however we are much more focused toward maturing the functionality of the port than putting Rockbox in flash. we haven't really toyed with the "Rockbox in flash" idea at all
16:52:20Nico_Plostlogic: what is requesting all this data?
16:52:40hcsNico_P: ADX codec
16:53:00hcsand some others, which may request 64 to 300k
16:53:04hcs(NSF and SPC)
16:53:39lostlogicADX
16:53:44Nico_Pbut if atomic audio doesn't wrap, providing that much data in one go shouldn't be a problem, should it?
16:53:54lostlogicit's made safe on NSF/SPC by the atomic audio type
16:54:02eigmain fact, I went through a pretty big scare over the summer when I erased a sector of the flash by accident. jtag saved my player's life. I think it's prudent for anyone who is playing with the flash to have jtag access, and at the moment I'm the only one.
16:54:05lostlogicADX is not small enough to make atomic in any sense of 'small enough'
16:54:27pondlifeHow big is lots? Bigger than the buffer?
16:54:35hcspotentially
16:54:38pondlifeAh, ok
16:54:41Nico_Poh
16:55:12hcsnot usually, though
16:55:25amiconneigma: It doesn't have to be rockbox in flash, but the rockbox bootloader, appended to the OF, in flash, which loads rockbox.mr500 from disk
16:55:40linuxstbeigma: It's not really that much of a risk - flashing the Rockbox bootloader is required for a lot of Rockbox ports.
16:55:48amiconnThat's how things work e.g. on iriver h1x0 and h300
16:55:55Nico_Plostlogic: the problem is that "h->filerem > 0 && (avail == 0 || avail < size)" is always false?
16:56:06Nico_Perr true
16:56:32pondlifeWhy do you need the avail == 0 check in there..?
16:56:39 Nick parafin|away is now known as parafin (i=parafin@paraf.in)
16:56:42Nico_Ppondlife: for the case where size == 0
16:56:53eigmaperhaps; I don't know if this is the case for other players, but a botched flash definitely means a bricked m:robe. that may not be frightening to developers, but as a user, I would be terrified.
16:57:18pondlifeIt's true for H1x0 and H3x0
16:57:23linuxstbYou're just hooking into the original firmware's upgrade process, so it's no riskier than updating the original firmware.
16:57:38Nico_Ppondlife: because if size == 0, avail < size doesn't make sense
16:57:49linuxstbOf course, care needs to be taken to make sure the bootloader is stable, and dual-boot works reliably.
16:57:53amiconnOn the old archoses we're even brave enough to replace the whole flash contents :)
16:58:07eigmaI don't mean so much "failed flashing process" as e.g., "bad SDRAM initialization in rockbox bootloader resulting in no boot"
16:58:16amiconn(it's optional though, and not all individual units have in-circuit flashable roms)
16:58:58linuxstbAs an example, for my Logik MP3 player, the _very_ first thing (in asm) that my code does is to check a GPIO port for a button press. If the button is pressed, it branches back to the OF - zero hardware initialisation is done (or needed).
16:59:11amiconneigma: The rockbox bootloader for the irivers has several safety features to make failed boot very unlikely
16:59:58amiconnYou can boot into the OF with a button - and even if that doesn't work, there's the safety cookie
17:00
17:00:21eigmahrm.. it's slightly more complicated on the m:robe, because the remote hangs off a UART, but given enough safety measures....
17:00:52amiconnHow are the main buttons hooked up?
17:01:05eigmathere is only one, the power button - that is indeed on a GPIO
17:01:27amiconnhmm
17:01:33amiconnIs there a hold switch?
17:01:36lostlogicNico_P: yeah
17:01:37eigmaon the remote
17:01:50lostlogicNico_P: I have somefin in de werks
17:02:06eigmathe only other input device is the touch screen, but that hangs off SPI and is even more work to get going than the remote
17:02:07Nico_Plostlogic: could it be because the file hasn't finished buffering but the codec makes the request with size == 0?
17:02:41amiconnHmm. How is the hold switch hooked up?
17:02:45Nico_Phcs: how reproduceable/frequent is the problem?
17:03:08Nico_Ppondlife: do you still have the glitch you reported yesterday?
17:03:14eigmathe hold switch belongs to the remote and can be read through the UART
17:03:19pondlifeNot that I've heard
17:03:32amiconnhmm, ok
17:03:34pondlifeI've hardly listened today though, busy.
17:03:49amiconnI guess that means uart support in the bootloader would be mandatory
17:04:06Nico_PI think I have a reliable way of reproducing it
17:04:07amiconnDoes the mrobe have a hardware reset button?
17:04:14eigmanot that I know of
17:04:18eigmawell
17:04:25eigmathat's not quite true
17:04:44hcsNico_P: yes, with the current ADX player I have a set of 3 ADXs that consistently fail at the start of the third.
17:04:50eigmathere is a key combination on the remote that asserts a delayed system reset signal - without any software intervention
17:05:17amiconnAh, so the safety cookie method might be possible on mrobe as well
17:05:26hcsNico_P: I'm just now readying the better behaved ADX codec, want me to hold off so you can take a look at this issue?
17:05:27lostlogicNico_P: I believe it's because the file hasn't finished buffering and the codec makes the request with size = filesize, I can't seem to think of why that loop becomes infinite exactly, but I _know_ that it wouldn't become inifinite if the maximum amount of data requested beyond that currently available was less than CHUNK
17:05:43eigmai.e. hold Heart+Mode+Play, and the remote will raise a signal on the connector to high. if that signal is high for 2 seconds, everything gets reset.
17:05:57hcslostlogic: it may be that stupid watermark setting, I've removed that
17:05:59Nico_Plostlogic: I'm not sure that's the right fix
17:06:05eigmacan you describe the "safety cookie"
17:06:22Nico_Phcs: could you send me your files? is the problem apparent on the sim?
17:06:38hcsNico_P: I could, and I'll check
17:07:17lostlogicNico_P: we don't guarantee more than that to codecs, so we shouldn't sweat trying to provide it, it's a bad experience for th eclients regardless of whether it's the right fix for this problem.
17:08:09Nico_Pwhat do you mean by "bad experience"?
17:08:26hcsfreezing
17:08:41Nico_Phcs: then could I have your files?:)
17:08:51hcsyes, uploading now
17:08:55Nico_Pthanks
17:09:41amiconneigma: One of the first thing crt0.S on coldfire does is checking for a magic value in iram (the cookie). If it's present, something went wrong in the previous boot attempt, and the startup code immediately calls the original firmware. If it's not present, it sets the cookie
17:09:54lostlogicNico_P: if a client hasta wait for longer than <filechunkread> for a call to bufgetdata or bufread, that's bad.
17:10:04lostlogicwe should never make them wait tha tlong
17:10:19amiconnThen it executes the normal bootloader code, which checks buttons, loads firmware from disk etc. It only resets the cookie immediately before jumping to the selected firmware
17:10:34Nico_Plostlogic: are there codecs that *need* more than chunksize?
17:10:43eigmathe idea being that IRAM is preserved across system reset?
17:10:45lostlogicNSF, SPC, SID
17:10:54 Join ApotheoZ [0] (i=Apo@nfb68-1-88-169-81-101.fbx.proxad.net)
17:10:59Nico_Plostlogic: then aren't they going to break?
17:11:18hcsNico_P: they can buffer it internally
17:11:20lostlogicthey're TYPE_ATOMIC, we can handle that
17:11:27amiconnSo if something goes wrong between setting and resetting the cookie (bootloader freezes, buttons not working etc etc), you can push the reset button (with a straightened paper clip), and on the next boot the bootloader will detect the cookie
17:11:32lostlogicor they could change to doing that and stop being TYPE_ATOMIC
17:11:55amiconn...and boot into the OF immediately, where you can access the disk, reflash firmware etc
17:12:11amiconnYes, iram contents is preserved across resets
17:12:15Nico_PI was afraid ADX might need more than the chunksize, but then it's probably ok
17:12:37amiconnI would be very surprised to find a CPU that clears iram on hardware reset
17:12:44eigmaamiconn: I would feel better after confirming that on the m:robe
17:13:01amiconnWell, *you* should be able to do that with jtag afaiu...
17:13:49eigmamy jtag sessions don't seem to survive across resets.. I'll have to do it another way; nevertheless
17:14:37eigmaheck, let me try right now
17:15:22amiconnWhat we're doing on coldfire is in firmware/target/coldfire/crt0.S, lines 109..124, and bootloader/main.c, the calls to __reset_cookie()
17:15:50***Saving seen data "./dancer.seen"
17:16:18amiconnMaybe it would help m:robe development if the installation process gets simplified
17:16:47amiconnNot every potential dev might be willing to perform all the steps you mentioned just to boot rockbox...
17:17:15amiconnIirc the bootloader was one of the first steps on iriver H1x0...

17:42:28Nico_Ppondlife: it has to be a file that ends abruptly, ie without a blank
17:42:42ApotheoZI had try to reconfigure into the rockboy menu the keymap.
17:42:55markunand what happened?
17:42:58ApotheoZIt has no effect.
17:43:08markunno effect? wow
17:43:11markunlet me try it
17:43:12ApotheoZI can't quit a menu with the "power key" too.
17:43:16pondlifeNico_P: So no silence at the end at all?
17:43:25pondlifeIs it tag related?
17:44:01Nico_Ppondlife: yeah, no silence. Maybe a *very* short one isn't a problem but you'll hear the glitch better without a silence. I have no idea what it could be related to
17:44:08markunApotheoZ: changing keys works fine here on my gigabeat
17:44:36ApotheoZI'd solve the problem !
17:44:41markunhow?
17:44:41ApotheoZ\o/
17:44:51ApotheoZJust paste an older version
17:45:17ApotheoZI'd past the 2007-10-23's version.
17:46:08ApotheoZBut thank's a lot for your help.

17:46:55eigmaIRAM == ARM's TCM, right?
17:47:04markunApotheoZ: but it's not good if you can never upgrade rockbox without breaking rockbox :(
17:47:12markunbreaking rockboy
17:47:25lostlogichcs: cool, I'll commit −− it makes the code more maintainable any way.
17:47:33ApotheoZhum.
17:47:45ApotheoZI'm gonna try to update it, in 1 week.

17:48:48Nico_Plostlogic: could you wait a couple minutes before committing so I can read the diff?
17:49:00ApotheoZSo, I'm gonna see if Rockbox change my keymap, or if rockboy it guilty.

17:56:25lostlogicNico_P: yeah −− my head had told me they were the same as I wrote that, but that was pre-MoB thinking.
17:56:26grdWe now have gradient line selector. Wouldn't it be nice to have line selector with slightly rounded corners? Just as an eye candy?

19:43:20FalenYeah, but not always
19:44:08lostlogicif the api hasn't changed, it should generally work, it's possible that someone made an incompatible change and didn't hcange the api version
19:44:11FalenAnd not that often either
19:44:20amiconnThe plugin api changes fall into 2 categories, backwards compatible and backwards incompatible changes
19:45:01amiconnIf there were no changes or only backwards compatible changes, the old plugin will run.
19:45:18FalenOk
19:46:01FalenI must have missed that then, every time I compile my game it refuses to run on a rockbox build from the day before
19:46:47 Quit bagawk ("leaving")
19:46:52amiconnWell, the other way 'round it won't work. Newer plugins will only run on an older rockbox core if there were *no* api changes
19:47:24FalenOk
19:47:30amiconnBackwards compatible changes only add functionality, and an older plugin doesn't miss that new functionality, because it doesn't know
19:48:00barrywardellDomonoky: do you want a OS X binary of rbutil? I need to build svn rev 15488, yeah?

19:52:39amiconnHmm, seems I have to upgrade the build on my H300 to check whether the bug I am experiencing is fixed...
19:53:11amiconnIt's a (non-critical, but slightly annoying) bug introduced with MoB
19:53:38FalenLua? You can create games, quick applications. Not everybody knows C, so there would be a ocean of new games coming to rockbox for example.
19:54:20markunFalen: do you have a link to any nice games?
19:54:46Nico_Pamiconn: what's the bug?
19:55:08WalterEgoRegarding the PP502x ports not turning off some parts of the hardware (and thus consumming more juice), is it at a dead-end? Or is it possible (but unpractical and too long) someone would test and still find stuff?

19:56:45Falen* the forums
19:56:55amiconnThere are 2 effects: (1) "End of playlist" splash doesn't always appear. (2) the state isn't saved, so that powering down the player, powering up again and then trying to resume resumes - into the last few seconds of the last track, which should have ended already
19:57:17FalenIpodLinux have a lua port, http://ipodlinux.org/Lua
19:57:49amiconnWalterEgo: I don't think it's a dead end, but it looks like only a very few devs are actually interested in making the basics work properly :/
19:57:52mignishDoe anyone know, if I were to just copy files to my ipod, would Rockbox still pick them up? Rhythmbox converts all of my ogg files to m4a when I upload them... or does anyone know an app I could use in Linux that would upload all of my music files to my ipod without converting or changing any of my files?

20:02:54FalenIs there a freenode channel for ipodlinux?
20:03:28amiconnpreglow: It's something that can be learned by practising it
20:03:33FalenYep, there is
20:04:10*amiconn learned almost everything about disassembling while doing it, for rockbox, plus 3 assembly languages :)

20:16:32mignishHehe, that is probably smart of you. The iRivers look better then an iPod... probably work more cleanly too.
20:16:42mignishI guess I can just read some reviews online.
20:16:49WalterEgoHmm...
20:16:53mignishI found an iPod, that's the only reason I have one.
20:17:24mignishAfter using the iPod and iTunes, I find that I dislike Apple even more.

20:22:08linuxstbamiconn: So you found backlight brightness?
20:22:20amiconnEither the G5 backlight brightness circuit doesn't use PWM, or its frequency vastly differs from ours
20:22:40amiconnThere is no (additional) flicker during a software pwm fade

20:23:15amiconnlinuxstb: I'm fairly sure. Just initing the 2 port pins gives half brightness, as opposed to full brightness when the circuit is disabled
20:23:28amiconnI still have to try the increment/decrement thing
20:23:28linuxstbLear: Do you want to commit the ipodpatcher change?
20:23:44LearI can do that. Untested though.

20:24:20preglowamiconn: g5 has the same backlight handling as nano, yea?
20:24:31linuxstbIt does in Rockbox
20:24:34amiconnThe nano doesn't have brightness control afaics
20:25:01preglowamiconn: i think it does
20:25:14linuxstbpreglow: You mean in the OF?
20:25:29amiconnThe ROM doesn't contain the brightness test that the G5 rom has
20:25:41preglowhmm
20:25:43preglowlinuxstb: can't remember :/
20:25:57amiconnWhy don't you just boot the OF and check?

20:27:33preglowno, i can't find any brightness
20:28:23Learlinuxstb: Done.
20:28:26preglowamiconn: have you discovered how retailos does backlight fading?
20:28:41amiconnYes, and I already mentioned it last night
20:28:56amiconnI'm about to verify my theory about how it works
20:31:27preglowamiconn: at least that is shared with the nano, afaik
20:31:42amiconnReally?

21:06:33dionoeaNico_P: ?
21:06:43amiconnpreglow: Seems that pulsing L6 alone does nothing. Pulsing D7 alone does work
21:06:47*linuxstb keeps quiet and hopes jhMikeS doesn't mention anything about linuxstb's testing abilities...
21:06:48Nico_Pdionoea: hi
21:06:58*amiconn checks whether L6 is needed at all
21:07:30preglowamiconn: it goes from full bright to very dark
21:07:39amiconnYeah, but not completely off
21:07:40dionoeaNico_P: I had a question about buffering. I have a playlist with track A and B, which are both buffered. If i skip to track B, track A gets unbuffered so that skipping back to track A spins the hard drive
21:07:45preglowamiconn: yup
21:07:55amiconnThen it's the same circuit as in the G5
21:08:00pixelmalinuxstb: that was a mistake... now I'm curious to hear the story :P
21:08:25dionoeaNico_P: but technically track A is still in RAM
21:08:48Nico_Pdionoea: this happens when track A isn't complete... it gets trashed. this seems to be happening a lot lately
21:09:14dionoeabut it was buffered completely before I skipped
21:09:41Nico_Pdionoea: yeah, it shouldn't be trashed but I think a recent change affected that
21:09:44dionoea(we'll I'm skipping in the buffer debug screen)
21:09:46dionoeaah ok.
21:09:53dionoeaCool :)
21:10:02preglowamiconn: works perfectly with pwm fading too
21:10:03dionoeas/we'll/well/
21:10:21Nico_Pdionoea: you did well to remind me of it because I had noticed it ut forgot to check
21:10:29dionoea;)
21:10:37amiconnpreglow: Yeah, but I'd want to get rid of pwm fading, and use the dimmer for fading as well. What do you think?
21:12:19preglowamiconn: i agree completely
21:12:39amiconnWell, if someone has set minimum brightness, it wouldn't fade
21:13:00preglowmyeah, and fades will look uglier at lower brightness settings
21:13:05preglowwell, it's worth a shot
21:13:21amiconnPerhaps we should keep software pwm fade in/out...
21:13:46preglowhmm
21:14:00preglowi'd rather at least test the dimmer for that first
21:14:02preglowto see how it looks
21:14:12amiconnAtm it's a bit dirty, because the sw pwm also switches B3, which should be kept high for the dimmer circuit
21:14:53amiconnB3 should only be disabled when the backlight is completely off.
21:15:26amiconnAH, and handling L6 is indeed superfluous, D7 is the dimmer pin
21:15:42amiconnCould you verify this on nano?

21:22:41amiconnYeah, even though it has 32 steps...

21:23:39linuxstbamiconn: Sure.
21:23:46amiconnFunny method - a "morse-controlled" dimmer...
21:24:13amiconnThis means we have to track state in order to allow well-defined backlight settings
21:24:43amiconnThe order at poweron is: Enable B3 and D7, dim to the desired level, then enable L7
21:26:10amiconnThis can take up to 6ms worst case

22:27:35amiconnOur speex codec should of course decode all standard rates, but for voice files it's not absolutely necessary. Depends on how much code it needs

22:29:58amiconnWell, I can think of one situation where 32kHz voice files would be necessary:
22:30:56amiconnWhen using an iriver h1x0 hooked up via s/pdif. Some devices with s/pdif input only accept certain sample rates, i.e. the standard 32/44.1/48 kHz (and higher, but often not lower)
22:31:42preglowwhy would that make it necessary? voice is resampled to the output rate anyway
22:31:51amiconnhmm, right
22:32:18preglow32khz sounds a bit better than 16khz, but not much
22:32:38preglowwe'll see how much iram we have left, it's not a big deal anyway
22:33:42*amiconn needs to come up with a method to track dimmer status in backlight-nano_video.c, and still allow sw pwm to work...

22:39:39jpt9it's smartpost :-P, so it'll probably take a while.
22:39:50jpt9but I've been playing with the rockbox sim on my computer...
22:39:53jpt9DUUUDDEEEEE!!!!!!

22:40:35Bagderlemur: it is a simulator...
22:40:38mguayThat's dudee to you , sir.
22:40:45jpt9also, sometimes it stops playing music (like it'll still have the progress bar working and everything, just no audio)...
22:40:51jpt9will this also happen on the real thing?
22:41:04lemurWe hope not
22:41:10jpt9and some of the audio stuff (stereo width/channels) doesn't work. how much of this is the fact that it's running on a computer?
22:41:12Bagderjpt9: only if you hit one of the recent bugs introduced with the buffering overhaul
22:41:17jpt9ah.
22:41:30lemurIs buffering being overhauled?
22:41:40jpt9for one thing, if i put the *real* firmware in the emulator, it tries to run rockbox apps as native windows apps, which of course doesn't work...
22:41:48Bagderlemur: yes, the MoB and following craziness ;-)
22:42:16jpt9also, "Theme Settings" is read as "Central European". and you should get it to pronounce "Bass" as "Base" rather than the fish.
22:42:57jpt9can you get it to read "A" as the letter rather than "ah"?
22:43:22Bagderit depends on what tts engine you use and how you tell it to speak...

22:53:07linuxstbIt's just that you'll need to crop videos to accurately encode to full-screen.

22:59:49Lloreanlinuxstb_: That's why there will be three options. 4:3 and 16:9 to preserve the aspect ratios of the original encode or fullscreen for those people who just want no wasted pixels independent of a little (or if you're my parents, a lot) of stretching
23:00
23:01:05Lloreanpixelma: As far as I know, it stretches the video to fit the resolution you define. Any cropping or restrictions at all must manually be defined. For example, you can tell it "scale X to 320 pixels, and y to preserve ratio" I believe, but if you tell it 320x240 it will stretch 16:9 videos to fill the whole screen.

23:15:46LloreanAlright.
23:15:53LloreanI'll assume it does until I have a chance to test again.
23:17:08pixelmaNico_P: maybe he didn't have custom channels enabled?
23:17:13linuxstbBut 4:3 on the Nano is 176x132 (i.e. full-screen), and rounded to 16 is 176x128, so it's only a 2 pixel gap top and bottom.
23:17:40LloreanHm
23:17:53preglowNico_P: i think so, yes

23:19:54amiconnmpegplayer does center videos which are small than the screen
23:19:59amiconn*smaller
23:22:13Lloreanlinuxstb: I'm still not seeing ffmpeg options for scaling based on restrictions rather than absolute scaling. I have to wonder if the person who told me it could was basing it on the features of a program that simply used ffmpeg code, rather than ffmpeg itself. =/
23:22:26linuxstbIt's possible.
23:22:46*Soap is getting tired of the "Why the hell did you up the PP clock speed to 80Mhz" thread.
23:23:09LloreanThat thread makes me sound like an ass. =/
23:23:10Soapamiconn, Do I recall correctly that you said that 80 is what you found the Original Firmware uses?
23:23:29amiconnno
23:24:09amiconnI said that 80 is what the OF goes up to when load is high. That's based on the PP product briefs
23:25:04amiconnH10 and Sansas definitely use 80MHz, because that's what they have set when our bootloader takes control
23:25:38amiconniPods come out of their loader with the pll disabled (i.e. running at 24MHz)
23:26:39*amiconn hates discussing this over and over
23:26:50SoapI'm not trying to argue or stab.
23:27:52SoapI'm just trying to clarify. And, honestly, your first sentence after "no" doesn't make a ton of sense to me. How do you know that the Apple firmware goes to 80 under load from the PP product briefs?
23:27:53 Quit qweru ("moo")
23:28:32amiconnWell, the PP5020 is specced up to 80 MHz. H10 uses PP5020, and comes out of its bootloader at 80MHz
23:29:18amiconnPP5022 is specced up to 100MHz. Sansa uses PP5022/5024, and comes out of its bootloader at 80MHz
23:30:14amiconnPP5021 has no product brief, and identifies itself as PP5022 when reading the respective registers
23:30:50amiconnSo I'm 99% sure that PP5021 is just a PP5022 that doesn't reach the full 100MHz specs

23:31:30amiconnAnd the 5021 in the Nano running *slower* than the 5020 in the mini 1st gen, 4th gen grayscale, and color is *very* unlikely

23:31:57Soapand the Video runs at 80 fine, suggesting yet again that the processor can do 80.
23:31:59amiconnAdditionally, there already *is* an ata problem on the nano which is just hacked around
23:32:11amiconnThe video runs fine even at >80MHz
23:32:50amiconn(ask w1lliam)
23:32:51Soap(at least those tested do) We do have a massive test basis for 80 on the video.

23:34:53SoapI'll never ask again, amiconn, I am grateful for the debrief. I was hopeful I could close the (annoying) thread with a concrete "Apple runs up to 80" - but nonetheless the evidence does appear overwhelming.
23:35:47SoapDo you mind if I post this conversation in the thread and lock it? amiconn, Llorean. It has really gotten out of hand.
23:35:50amiconnThe higher power drain in rockbox is probably part of the problem, because the nano is so tiny
23:36:14preglowyeah
23:36:16preglowalmost certainly
23:36:22amiconnBut it can't be the only problem, because there are affected nanos where even 75MHz don't fix the problem
23:37:30*amiconn wonders whether there is really no one else who would be able to work on a fix :/
23:37:46eigmaBagder: ping
23:37:58Bagderyessir!
23:38:00amiconnThe problem is that I am already swamped with targets, and hence stuff to fix/ improve :\
23:38:38SoapI wasn't trying to pressure you for a fix. Hope I didn't come across that way either.
23:39:00amiconnYeah, but we need a fix, and nobody is moving ahead...

23:42:22pixelmaah, and btw. Llorean, Rockbox (usually) boots into the OF on USB plug (at least it does on my c200). It's just that it gets stuck on the Rockbox USB screen with some builds and one can't easily see it like on the Ipods (they have the same problem occasionally)
23:42:41pixelmayou said it wouldn't on e200/c200
23:45:42 Quit n1s ()
23:46:55Lloreanpixelma: I meant that it doesn't _reboot_ into the OF once Rockbox is already running
23:47:08LloreanThe e200 at least (for me) consistently boots into the OF if you plug in USB while it's turned off.
23:47:10pixelmathat's what I mean too
23:47:28LloreanBut once it's on, it just showed a USB logo and sat there. Did someone fix that semi-recently?
23:47:46amiconnIt does reboot from within rockbox, just not always
23:48:00amiconnThat problem exists, more or less, on all PP502x targets
23:48:03pixelmayes, it's more reliable if you plug it when it's off
23:48:28amiconnIt was introduced when proper usb detection went in

23:49:26LloreanSoap: Go ahead and shut it down.
23:50:20amiconnThe chance for proper reboot depends on when you plug the cable (e.g. during dircache scan it's more likely to hang), on the target (Sansa and Mini seem to be more susceptioble than e.g. Video), and on the individual build
23:50:43pixelmaLlorean: there are a few threads in the forum that describe the same issue on Ipods, most of the time Minis
23:50:54*amiconn hopes that usb support in rockbox will fix those hangs as well
