00:11:41lostlogicjhMikeS: any easy way to make the queue check happen 1/2 as often as the buffer level / yield/sleep check? :)
00:13:18jhMikeSwhy? if that's an issue, then something more robust needs doing. I mean, keep a counter but I refuse to go that road. You could put any handle as first.
00:14:01jhMikeSjust because at least the guardbuf amout of data won't exist?

00:51:26jmworxpreglow: yes
00:51:55preglowjmworx: i see that even speexenc followed by speexdec yields a slightly delayed output in comparison with the wav input before encoding, any way to avoid that?
00:52:28jmworxpreglow: your're seeing that all the time or just with the −−force-* options?
00:52:48preglowjmworx: well, just tried it now, not svn speexenc/dec, though
00:52:49preglowwb mode
00:53:06preglowno force, no nothing, as a matter of fact, just plain enc/dec
00:53:12jmworxpreglow: BTW, could you fill in this survey in case you haven't already? http://www.surveymonkey.com/s.aspx?sm=wo0h_2f9rYdspRyvNpOs4OLA_3d_3d
00:53:29preglowjmworx: sure
00:54:17jmworxpreglow: if it's a short file, it's normal. For longer files (more than about 8 kB once encoded), it shouldn't happen though
00:55:01preglowjmworx: short file indeed, why does it happen?
00:55:57jmworxpreglow: basically, speexdec uses some computation based on the granulepos to discard samples from both the first and last page.
00:56:14preglowahh, yes, saw that
00:56:24jmworxUnfortunately, since there's only one granulepos per frame, if the first frame is also the last frame, we're screwed
00:57:12preglowthat's probably the reason, the clip is about 2kb compressed, heh

00:59:35preglowjmworx: so the decoder lookahead only compensates for decoder latency? you'll basically need to transmit encoder latency in some other way?
01:00
01:00:05jmworxpreglow: It's encoder latency that's transmitted indirectly through the granulepos.
01:00:10 Quit ompaul (Client Quit)
01:00:14preglowthat's what i expected, yes
01:00:17jmworx(because the decoder obviously knows how much latency it adds)
01:00:26preglowwell, ok
01:00:32preglowi guess i'll just ignore encoder latency
01:00:39preglowit's so short anyway
01:01:12jmworxwell, in the current implementation, latency is split half-half between encoder and decoder.
01:01:29preglowisn't the encoder latency slightly bigger?
01:01:32jmworx(it used to be that the encoder had more than the decoder)
01:01:35preglowahh, no
01:01:42preglowwindowsize is framesize+subframesize
01:01:56jmworxfor narrowband, latency is now split 5/5, but it used to be 10/0
01:02:27preglowwhich gives a latency of subframesize, same as for decoder
01:03:30preglowjmworx: btw, for the memset/cpy stuff, should i add a speex_memcpy? and what's the point with those wrappers anyway, isn't mem* always supposed to be pretty well optimized anyway?

01:05:04jmworxpreglow: I think memmove should be pretty much as fast as memcpy now, right?
01:05:23jmworx(i.e. it's just a simple test to figure out whether you can use the same algo as memcpy)
01:05:27preglowjmworx: memmove is basically memcpy + one other code path and an if, so yeah, more or less as fast
01:05:52preglowjmworx: but then again, another wrapper is four lines of code
01:06:24amiconnI've seen memmove() implementations of vastly varying quality
01:06:36preglowanother good reason to use memcpy when you can
01:06:51jmworxpreglow: wrapper doesn't make the code bigger because it's inline and it makes it easier for someone to entirely remove the dependenty on libc
01:06:53preglowjmworx: and almost all occurences of for () i've replaced in nb_celp and sb_celp can be done using memcpy
01:06:54amiconnA proper implementation should be as fast as memcpy(), with just the additional overlap/direction check
01:06:56jmworxdependency
01:07:30amiconnSome cheap implementations resort to trivial byte copying on overlap
01:07:48preglowamiconn: i've seen one of those too...
01:08:08amiconnThe rockbox implementations are clear
01:08:56amiconnHowever, I still want to tame that monster named coldfire memcpy+memmove. It's fast, but a code monster...

01:14:53linuxstbIt's in IRAM - so not cached.
01:15:17amiconnYeah, it chips away ~4% of core iram :\
01:15:28preglowjmworx: using speex_resampler_skip_zeros() basically allows me to ignore resampler latency, yes?
01:15:32jmworxif you've got a high "i cache pressure", then it could be responsible for 4 kB of instruction transfer due to cache flushing every time you call it.

01:25:01rasherConverting MakeVoices.vbs would be a nightmare, since it needs part of the build system (because of the features feature and target_id)
01:25:14rasherunless those informations are made available online or something
01:25:45preglowyeah
01:26:22amiconnWhy would we need to convert MakeVoices?
01:26:36preglowwe don't need that, no...
01:26:43preglowi'd rather make rbutil better
01:26:52amiconnThe current method works rather well in all supported build environments
01:27:21rasheramiconn: Well we don't need to at all. Some people would like it, is all
01:31:31*amiconn thinks that scripting is more flexible than an executable like rbutil
01:31:50amiconnAnd we need information from the buid system (features.txt etc)
01:32:08rasherpreglow: you want to add voice-making ability to rbutil?
01:32:17amiconnBtw, there's a dependency bug - features.txt doesn't get rebuilt when target features change
01:32:19Calcipherhey rasher, how does it look for commiting the db voice support?

01:34:22rasherIt needs a fix either on the script side or in the code. I'm not sure which one is better or easier.
01:34:28preglowi'm _dying_ to dive back to more low-level stuff here
01:34:46rasherCalcipher: well, it can voice tags, but not stuff like "01 - title" −− only "title"
01:35:05rasherIe. any string that consists of more than a single tag won't be voiced

01:36:40CalcipherI still would have liked to try it out, so how exactly is the voice data stored?, is it one large file for the entire db? that wouldn't work so I'm guessing its small clips per tag stored in that default location, thats a great idea btw, to centralize clips in a location
01:37:30Calcipherwell that too can be a problem for clean up, when you for example get rid of a folder, and then the voice data still remains in the default clip location
01:37:31rasherThat's what it does. In fact, the code already does look for voice clips for the database strings (just in / rather than inside a specific dir)
01:39:02preglowamiconn: didn't "make voice" need a c compiler before rbspeexenc?
01:39:20 Join iamben [0] (n=ben@ppp-70-134-48-176.dsl.spfdmo.swbell.net)
01:39:39amiconnIn theory it should only require the preprocessor, if rbspeexnc is already compiled
01:39:55amiconnDue to another dependency bug, 'make voice' also compiles the bitmaps...
01:40:35rasherI've prodded Bagder about this, but judging by his reaction it won't be easy to fix
01:40:38amiconnrasher: Storing a ton of .talk clips sounds like an insane idea...
01:40:59amiconn...even more insane than file .talk clips, which I never use due to that very reason
01:41:17rasherWhy? It's not *that* many more than .talk clips
01:41:17amiconnEven a tiny file always takes a full cluster on FAT
01:41:45amiconnAnd a cluster can be as large as 32KB
01:41:57rasherSo you suggest creating a giant ball of concatenated clips?
01:42:13amiconnI would simply drop the idea of using clips for the database
01:42:20rasherIn favour of what?
01:42:22Calcipherwhat would be best for disk reads?
01:42:27amiconnThere's already spelling, and numbering
01:42:42rasherBoth vastly inferior to .talk clips
01:42:44amiconnBoth require no spinup and no additional work
01:42:52Calcipherso, you use spelling and numbering?
01:43:04amiconnOther than that, it would be an idea task for a tts engine
01:43:38LloreanWhy not create a .voice file for each of the database tcd files?
01:43:45amiconnCalcipher: I use file browser mode in 99.9% of all usage cases. For directories, I do use clips, for files, I just use numbers + file type announcing
01:44:13preglowamiconn: in theory, sure, but did it need a c compiler? there's a guy on the ml that doesn't seem to have a compiler installed that now complains voices won't build
01:44:23preglowalso, how do you install a c compiler in cygwin?
01:44:25amiconnFor me, the database is just a tool to spot typos in tags, and very rarely, duplicates
01:44:42rasheramiconn: so you don't use .talk clips and find them wasteful. Fine, but I don't see why it's so insane. If people want .talk clips, and they very clearly do, it should work for the database as well.
01:44:45CalcipherI see
01:45:08amiconnrasher: I do use them, but sparsely, i.e. for directories only
01:45:47amiconnpreglow: You just use the cygwin installer, which works like a typical, graphical linux package manager
01:46:05preglowwhat is the package named? i need something to point this guy to
01:46:25amiconnsomething gcc ...
01:46:35CalcipherI don't see why the database is ignored by so many users, It feels like a much easier and organized way to get to the music you want, for example you can play all of one artists tracks even if they're in separate directories, and this requires no creation of a playlist, or just listen to an entire album
01:46:48amiconnI think you can go without a crosscompiler if you just want to build voice, if you select a sim
01:47:03*amiconn disagrees with Calcipher
01:47:16lostlogicsansa has pretty nice battery life.
01:47:29rasherDatabase is an additional tool - it can do some things that the filetree can't, but not everyone wants those things.
01:47:34*preglow isn't cut out for mailing lists
01:47:51*scorche gets along famously with filetrees
01:47:53rasherpreglow: the package just named 'gcc'
01:48:31amiconnpreglow: But if a crosscompiler is needed, www.rockbox.org provides cygwin packages for those
01:48:55amiconnCompiling those yourself can take a few hours...

02:21:13preglowwell, it should just die out after a frame or so
02:21:50jhMikeSit does that in the non-rockboxed libspeex code?
02:22:10preglowdidn't try, but i really haven't changed that part
02:22:25preglowbut anyway, if i encode an extra zero frame, then even the nb mode doesn't click
02:22:50preglowbut after taking into account the lookahead, that zero frame really shouldn't be necessary because of the silence clip

02:29:52LloreanWhy does voice creation require GCC again?
02:30:03preglowright now, for compiling the encoder
02:30:09LloreanOr more specifically, why can't it be made to run without GCC assuming the presence of a (language).lang file?
02:30:28LloreanI thought the .voice file required a dev environment for something else too?
02:30:37preglowfor parsing features
02:30:37LloreanDetermining device capabilities or something?
02:30:45preglowi guess
02:30:52rasherThat's done with cpp, I believe
02:31:08LloreanCould it be bypassed with the presence of a .lang?
02:31:28LloreanFor the people who just want to create .voices, and nothing else, and don't want cygwin?
02:31:32rasherthat would require to completely rework how voice files are built
02:31:56LloreanAh, okay.
02:32:39LloreanWhere do the voice strings come from, then?
02:33:26rasherWell, they come from the lang file, but in combination with genlang and a target-id (and features)
02:33:40rasheryou *can* run voice.pl directly and get a voicefile
02:33:52LloreanWith langv2 aren't .lang files also target-specific?
02:34:02LloreanOr, wait, that's .lng rather?
02:34:08rasherYes.
02:34:13rasherBut then .lng doesn't contain the voice strings

02:35:37preglowi wonder if i should just do a new rbspeexenc release for the fixed wb clips and put in a note that nb mode is glitchy
02:35:42rasherYou can do something like voice.pl -V -l=english -t=h120:recording:otherfeatureshere -i=7 -e=rbspeexenc -E="-c10 -q 4" -s=flite -S=""
02:35:46rasherand get a working voicefile
02:35:56rasherUsing only genlang, rbspeexenc and english.lang
02:36:45amiconnPlus wavtrim, voicefont, and for windows, sapi_voice.vbs
02:36:45rasherPiecing together the target-string isn't trivial, but could be made available online
02:36:50rasherah yes
02:36:54rasherand voice.pl of course
02:37:34johnf1911upgrading the bootloader to V6 won't introduce problems booting my current rockbox image, will it?
02:37:39LloreanOr batch files that already include the target string?

02:39:12rasheramiconn: the build server could piece together a decent .bat file that would allow users to build voice files fairly easily given the needed tools
02:39:28amiconnI think it would be better to provide a more complete set of voice files (e.g. more languages than just english)

03:25:41preglowthe copy seems kind of redundant
03:26:49jmworxpreglow: exc is a 32-bit var isn't it?
03:26:50preglowthe same is done a couple of other places

03:28:55jmworxYeah, I changed a lot of code around beta1 and beta2 and might have left some redundant/useless stuff
03:29:23preglownice to have me trawling through it, then :)
03:30:35preglowjmworx: it looks to me like the filter can be left ringing for more than a frame if only null modes are used after an ordinary frame, is that so?
03:32:15jmworxcan be left??
03:33:31preglowwell, will be ringing
03:34:21jmworxpreglow: in theory, it'll ring to infinity because it's an IIR filter. In practice, I'm pretty sure you can cut after one frame, no?
03:34:37preglowjmworx: well, sure, but you seem to be limiting the coefs for each frame with bw_lpc
03:34:53jmworxeuh??
03:35:30jmworxbw_lpc has nothing to do with ringing and it's an encode-only thing to approximate psychoacoustics stuff

03:35:51jhMikeSpreglow: hmmm...the bit cursor is being reset so that's the only diff I can imagine
03:36:45preglowjmworx: encode only it's not, it's used for null mode decoding
03:36:56preglowjmworx: but yeah, i did misunderstand what it does
03:38:00jmworxpreglow: Oh, on decoding it has a completely different purpose. Basically, it moves all the poles in-wards so that ringing is shorter
03:38:05preglowjhMikeS: weird, then, "twenty" clip plus silence on target clicks, the same concatted by hand here and decoded with what is essentially the voice thread code gives a nice fade
03:38:39jhMikeSyou sure that use of speex_bits_remaining() < 8 is the right thing?
03:39:09jmworxspeex_bits_remaining() < 8 looks wrong
03:39:18jmworxA valid frame can be only 5 bits
03:39:41preglowhmm

03:41:31jhMikeSI see what's up with that. I need to check for end of stream
03:41:39jmworxjhMikeS: how the hell can speex_bit_remaining() < 0 ??
03:41:56jmworxjhMikeS: you're aware that speex_decode_int(0 actually tells you when you're done, are you?
03:42:01preglowjhMikeS: basically, only one bit of that last byte might be valid data
03:42:03jmworxi.e. handles all that logic
03:42:43preglowjmworx: well, it does, but that way we might get an extra null frame we didn't actually encode
03:42:47preglowbut i guess that's not much of a problem...
03:42:54preglowand as it is right now, i don't see how we can avoid it
03:42:56jhMikeSheh. I went for speex.c on the API reference in part.
03:43:01jmworxpreglow: No, you won't get anything you didn't encode
03:44:39*preglow goes to find out how speex_bits_write() works
03:45:03jmworxpreglow: When you call speex_bits_write, it appends a "terminator code" that speex_decode knows about
03:45:08preglowahhhhh
03:45:11preglowthen yes
03:45:16preglowwe don't need that < 8 stuff
03:45:19jmworxSo if you want to decode everything, you just call speex_decode() in a loop until it returns -1.
03:45:20preglownot at all
03:45:52jmworxWhen you get -1, it means "couldn't decode anything else" (and *not* it's the last one).
03:48:47preglowoh well, it didn't help for this clip anyway
03:49:06preglowbut we'll see if it makes a difference on targets
03:50:32jhMikeStesting speex_bits_decode() < 0 is a safe test? I want to get the next data from the callback on both end and error to avoid if (ret = -1 || ret = -2) cruft.
03:50:58jmworxjhMikeS: testing speex_bits_decode() < 0 is a stupid test
03:51:05jmworxoh sorry
03:51:22jmworxI thought you had written speex_bits_remaining :-)
03:51:36jhMikeSno, no :-) getting rid of that.
03:51:43jmworxyes, it's fine, although there's two things that can be < 0
03:51:58jmworx-1 means nothing left, whereas -2 means there was some corruption
03:52:06jhMikeSI'm not concern with which reason in this particular case
03:52:21jhMikeSsince the same action is needed
03:53:50preglowjmworx: so let me see if i've gotten it straight, there should be no need to encode anything more than 'lookahead' samples extra to ensure the encoder has output all you'll need to reconstruct your audio clip?
03:54:25jmworxright
03:54:39preglowgood, then any remaining problem has to do with us not decoding enough null frames
03:54:46 Quit iamben_ (Read error: 110 (Connection timed out))
03:54:57jmworxactually, there's also the decoder lookahead
03:55:14preglowyeah, but that's solved by decoding null frames, yes?
03:55:31jmworxi.e. if you encode encode_lookahead more samples, you've really encoded everything but the decoder may not give you everything back because of its own lookahead
03:55:57jmworx...which can be solved by decoding a null frame or encoding a few more samples
03:56:02preglowyup, sure, just want to make sure i've got the encoder side right, since that's more important
03:56:41jmworxpreglow: I'd actually recommend encoding an extra frame at regular rate just to make everything easy.
03:56:54jmworxIt's not like a few bytes are really going to hurt you
03:57:22preglowjmworx: and you can rest assured i'll do so if the silence clip mechanism we already have continues to not work :)
03:57:41preglowi've already tried it out encoding an extra zero frame, and it solved all clicking i could find
04:00

04:23:30marazHey, I'm Finnish and I'm still capable of doing so.
04:23:43SoapFEL, regardless of your native tongue, you are expected to cut out the "u", "lol", and other non-english words.
04:24:09FELah sorry.
04:24:22marazBut before this turns into more rivalry, let me state the IRC guidelines as stated in the wiki (check out the topic): Use clear, grammatical, correctly-spelled English. "Words" such as "thx", "u", and "kewl" are not acceptable. This includes l337speak and odd usages of capital letters as well.

05:56:10Mouser_XMaybe he has no manual? While it's very likely that my Gigabeat came with a manual, I don't actually remember ever seeing it...
05:56:19advcomp2019what version of firmware do you have
05:57:09mokkurkalveit say's on the wiki that the c200 also has a "v2" on the backside if it's a... v2
05:58:01briantumoryeah, i didn't see a v2 anywhere
05:58:33briantumorin the version.sdk file.. it says... Product: c250 \FW: 01.00.03A \Region: America \Build Date: 2006.10.04
05:58:54advcomp2019that is a v1 not a v2 then
05:58:59mokkurkalveThe warning against the v2 are now also on the e200 wiki page. I was wondering of getting a e280 as my H300 are too big for exercice situation...
05:59:13briantumorok, so it's compatible then? ^_^
05:59:35mokkurkalveGuess that means I have too look for the right version (v1) then...?
05:59:47briantumori got mine for free ^_^

06:04:57briantumorso does the voice recorder save to wav like the original firmware?

06:26:05*jhMikeS too ... can't get a single constant correct the first time :p
06:26:44LloreanThe only change in the recording screen is making the menu come up in a single press of BUTTON_DOWN rather than holding it
06:27:20LloreanEverything else is actually consistent with how the new radio and WPS style mappings are anyway, pretty much
06:27:46LloreanOr at least as reasonably as one can expect while maintaining usability and vastly disparate functions
06:28:45 Quit iamben_ (Read error: 110 (Connection timed out))
06:28:47LloreanI'm kinda surprised it had a long-press function without a short-press function, honestly
06:28:58jhMikeSI think scan/preset using the record button is a bit odd though that never changed. Would make sense to just jump to record.
06:29:11LloreanjhMikeS: I agree, actually
06:29:22LloreanBut I think the radio controls are a bit odd in general
06:30:06jhMikeSnot sure what would be scan/preset then...long down or long up? only choices really
06:30:45LloreanACTION_FM_PRESET sets a preset?
06:30:51jhMikeSthe long play button is often used for that
06:31:20LloreanDoes the recording screen even have a shortcut-to-recording function yet?
06:31:22jhMikeSyeah, but I'm talking about ACTION_FM_MODE
06:31:53LloreanWell yeah, I was just trying to figure out if some other key was swappable
06:31:56jhMikeSactually that's the presets list
06:32:12LloreanAaaah
06:32:17LloreanSeems odd on Select then
06:32:40LloreanDo you know if two buttons can have the same action, btw?
06:32:45jhMikeSnot unique though
06:33:04jhMikeSyes is is
06:33:06jhMikeS*it
06:33:08LloreanI'd really, _really_ like to have both _LEFT and _POWER be ACTION_STD_CANCEL
06:33:13LloreanSince _POWER is completely unused in _STD
06:33:39LloreanMan, if I were un-blind, I'd see _STD_OK defined twice
06:33:44jhMikeScan't cancel radio with left :)
06:33:51LloreanRadio isn't STD though
06:33:55LloreanBut the Text Editor is.
06:34:17LloreanAnd it uses STD_CANCEL to exit, and I'd kinda like to leave Left being able to cancel out of things, but power too.
06:34:48jhMikeSthe button is the key to the table, not the action
06:34:55LloreanAlright, should I put FM_MODE on long-play while I'm in there then?
06:35:07LloreanRemove it from Rec so it's freed up for later use and people can get used to it now?
06:35:10jhMikeSyeah, much more like others
06:35:14briantumorwhat's voice ui?

06:51:35LloreanWhat features list, specifically?
06:51:50jhMikeSisn't that AAC?
06:51:57LloreanMP4 is a container
06:52:19LloreanIt can contain an awful lot of stuff, so none of our features lists should specifically say it's a supported format of anything.
06:55:51LloreanI suspect he also doesn't realize that when I ban him, it won't just be his username.
06:56:00briantumorso.. if i put rockbox on an ipod video.. it would lose it's ability to play mp4 videos?
06:56:13briantumorhuh??
06:56:17lostlogicyou could boot to the original firmware to play them.
06:56:23lostlogicrockbox does not play them though.
06:56:28Mouser_XRockbox couldn't play the MP4 videos, but the OF would still work.
06:56:30briantumoroh.. you can dual boot?
06:57:06Mouser_XIn most cases, yes. You have a c200, right? If yes, then yes, it dual-boots.
06:57:17briantumori mean for an ipod video
06:57:21briantumormy friend wants to try it
06:57:27lostlogicdual boots by default on the ipods as well
06:57:32Mouser_XYes, the iPods all dual-boot as well.

07:00:25Mouser_XDumb question: With very little knowledge of C, how difficult would it be to port something to Rockbox, if you have the source code? I assume it'd be difficult, if even doable at all.

07:01:01jhMikeSI suppose you'll get the C knowledge working on it.
07:01:23Mouser_XActually, I should say "With very little knowledge of programming langauges in general, let alone C,"
07:01:32Mouser_X:P
07:01:50lostlogicMouser_X: it's be a long process, but not inherently difficult
07:01:54jhMikeSWell, I mean if you succeed you'll definitely have the knowledge :)
07:01:58Mouser_Xpsycho_maniac: Yes, you can.
07:02:00lostlogicMouser_X: you'd hafta first read pretty much all of the OF and rockbox' code
07:02:08Mouser_XIt'll go into bootload USB mode.

07:02:45*Llorean is an idiot. AGAIN
07:03:22Mouser_Xlostlogic: Why would have to read the OF code?
07:03:27Mouser_X(And, how?)
07:03:50lostlogicwait, I misunderstood, I read bad
07:03:57Mouser_XI see.
07:04:36lostlogicit depends on what it is then... some things make use of lots of libraries that wouldn't be available on rockbox, others use only lower level functions for which rockbox has an analogous call to use instead
07:05:48Mouser_XIt's a Winamp plugin that plays Wonderswan music rips (it's an emulated format, thus it'd be atomic).
07:06:06Mouser_XReally, nothing special at all. More curiousity than anything.
07:08:07lostlogicMouser_X: for codecs it depends largely on whether they are an integer or floating point implementation to start with

07:08:53lostlogicif they start out integer based then it's usually quite easy to port a codec to rockbox by replacing file reading and buffer writing calls with those on the codec api, removing the use of malloc (as a rule) and yielding after frames

07:22:29radinpLlorean: really? It seems to have potential. i could imagine it being used as a portable certificate container.
07:22:59Lloreanradinp: What exact use do you have in mind for it?
07:25:32radinpLlorean: Well, in my case I use OpenVPN quite extensively. It would be useful to leave my certificates and keys on rockbox. This eliminates the needs to store keys on the host computers.
07:25:40 Part TradeJack
07:26:28radinpLlorean: But I do agree that performing encryption on rockbox seems unnecessary.
07:26:55psycho_maniacwhat if the cia steals your dap for data on it :_
07:29:33radinpOk, well in that case we'll need to encrypt the keys themselves. However, any DAP should be able to handle a small amount of encryption.

07:42:23lostlogicnow if only all of the existing WPSs using it that support stock builds didn't suck.
07:42:35LloreanI was thinking that I might do something else with the album art space.
07:42:48lostlogic'space'?
07:42:56lostlogicon buffer? on screen?
07:42:59LloreanWell, I mean the file is cover.bmp, but nothing says it has to be album art
07:43:01LloreanOn-screen
07:43:05psycho_maniacim tryiing to edit a wps and i do not know what this means %pb|height|leftpos|rightpos|toppos| what does the |height| do? i try editing it and it does nothing.
07:43:21LloreanFor example, a lot of my music is videogame remixes, I could show the logo of the gamesystem it came from, or a sprite from in-game.
07:43:29LloreanMaybe some sort of genre logo for "real" music
07:43:34lostlogicpsycho_maniac: how many pixels high the progress bar is in theory
07:44:16lostlogicLlorean: oh sure −− and dont' forget that you can specify the album art image in other ways too (based on the 'artist' tag for instance)
07:44:18Mouser_XIt works for me. I've used it to place the progress bar at a specific location on the WPS before.
07:44:19psycho_maniac12?
07:44:39Lloreanlostlogic: Yeah, I thought of that. Portraits of the various artists.
07:45:04LloreanI just want something more interesting than an album cover is to me
07:45:10lostlogichehe
07:45:32lostlogicI'm going to have album art and at least one album art theme on my players so that I can 'show off' rockbxo to friends ;)

07:54:00lostlogicpsycho_maniac: you want to adjust the toppos (top position)
07:54:13Lloreanchange toppos to about 3 or 4 less than it is
07:55:42psycho_maniacall mine shows is %pb|12|0|320|
07:55:51psycho_maniacso i would go %pb|12|0|320|4| ?
07:56:31lostlogicpsycho_maniac: -4 probably
07:56:42LloreanI think toppos is an absolute y coordinate, but I'm not sure
07:56:53lostlogicoh, then 200ish
07:57:00lostlogicand then adjust from there

07:57:17psycho_maniacalright will try that. thank you
07:57:18lostlogicpsycho_maniac: by default the progress bar is placed at a _line_ as if it were text
07:57:38lostlogicpsycho_maniac: so now you are going to position it by pixels (if LLorean is right) as though it were a bitmap
07:57:52Mouser_XSometimes, you'll need to place it a line above, and then modify the coordinates to get it low enough.
07:58:15Mouser_X(Or, a line below, or whatever.)
08:00
08:00:40psycho_maniaci understand now
08:01:07*Llorean kinda wishes the progressbar just took x1, y1, x2, y2
08:01:18psycho_maniacthat would be a lot easier
08:01:41LloreanThe problem is that they were just tacked on the end of it, as it evolved, so as not to break previous generation WPSes
08:02:10LloreanThen again, when viewports happens, %m will probably be removed, which means if WPSes are broken anyway, it'll be a chance to fix it

08:04:14LloreanSometimes you have to assume one way or another.
08:04:47LloreanFor example, if you say "if" then you're making the assumption that it *might* not happen, but it's still an assumption based on the fact that it's been said that it will happen.

09:48:58 Quit radinp (Read error: 113 (No route to host))
09:49:03pondlifeWhen not playing it starts and stops DMA just for the beep
09:49:14pondlifeOr something like that...
09:49:20pondlifejhMikeS will know.
09:49:24JdGordonmaybe thats the problem then?
09:49:57pondlife"pcmbuf_beep is borked on Sansa, and maybe on all PortalPlayer" would be the FlySpray headline
09:51:27pondlifeProblem is, it'll just get reported as "keyclick is broken".
09:52:13pondlifeI think I need to get a pcmbuf guru involved before commit.

10:13:17Casainhobecause I tried to make a PWM signal... and the 100Hz are very low frequency...
10:14:09Casainhois there any PWM signal in RockBox? - I saw some references to PWM on source but I didn't understand... - If there are PWM in RockBox, how is that implemented?

10:15:43CasainhoI used the add_tick_task(); ...
10:17:27linuxstbThe tick_task is 100Hz. If you want a higher frequency, you can use the user timer - see metronome for an example (rb->timer_register)
10:17:39pixelmais someone here with a c200 and a microSDHC (Zagor)?

10:18:13Zagorit's only a 1GB card though

10:42:01linuxstbamiconn: Is gcc still refusing to work on cygwin with the multilibs patch?
10:42:17amiconnI tried like 3 or 4 times
10:42:28amiconnIt compiles and "installs" with no error
10:42:59amiconnBut 'make install' decides there's nothing to do for many sub-dirs, even if I install into a clean location
10:44:01linuxstbDoes gcc itself get installed? i.e. is it just the multilibs it is skipping?
10:45:12*linuxstb wonders if anyone else has tried it
10:45:42BagderI think LinusN did...
10:46:29amiconnlinuxstb: No. The installed gcc doesn't work

10:56:12linuxstbProbably somewhere like Display -> LCD Settings
10:56:27waranI found a brightness-setting for my Nano(1st). But I wonder if changing this would drain more battery than it would save (because there is no hardware implementation; if I remember correctly).
10:57:23linuxstbWe (well, amiconn) found that the Nano has hardware-controlled brightness, and that's what he implemented for both the Nano and Video.
10:57:35waranahh, yay :D

11:01:35AwareARGH, sorry
11:01:42linuxstb"recent" in Rockbox terms means within the last few hours...

11:03:12waranI use yesterday's version =)
11:08:03Awareupdated and working nicely
11:09:18waranAware, if you are going to update your RockBox 3 times per day now just make sure to maintain at least one working backup. If the "current" version isn't running smoothly.
11:10:42pixelmawaran: the last 30 daily builds are archived and available for download (not saying that a backup is a bad idea)

12:51:22Webguest-Fully13Whats your price range?
12:51:34evert150€ approx
12:51:38Webguest-Fully13Any prefered storage capacitys?

12:52:27Webguest-Fully13Can't think of anything really..
12:52:34Webguest-Fully13An Ipod video would be in your price range..

12:53:44Webguest-Fully13Not sure if it's linux compatible though.. Probably not.
12:53:55everti don't think zune is linux compatible ;)
12:54:17PaulJamalso, there is no rockbox for the zune
12:54:23Webguest-Fully13Gigabeat X-F?
12:54:41evertprevious i had a creative, but in my experience those players are not that good, bad firmware, no rockbox, not very good linux support
12:54:51Webguest-Fully13Old i know, but with 20-40gb storage capacitys, for around 20 pounds, you can't go wrong :P
12:55:29Webguest-Fully13Creatives are horrible...
12:55:36evertthat sandisk player is looking good, but how good is the player's case ? Can i drop it from a meter height without that i can trash it ?
12:55:52everti've never seen a sandisk player before, so i really don't know how good they are

12:58:42PaulJamevert: if you get the sansa, make sure it is not a v2 (with audible support). i think i read that they differ from the normal e2x0 and rockbox doesn't run (yet) on those.

14:27:18JdGordonI've changed the filename to database.ignore
14:27:48JdGordoni agree a white/black list would be better, but I think this is about as good as we would want to add
14:28:27JdGordonits purpose is really to just ignore recordings, podcasts and badly tagged folders.. so a proper list isnt really needed
14:29:30ArathisJdGordon: perhaps you could use a format similar to .htaccess where +/-indexes says if the index of a folder is shown or not. that way we could exclude and include dirs to get a more complex structure and the ability to just include /Music for example.
14:29:56JdGordonthats the white/black lists I was saying.. but I dont tihnk its worth adding
14:30:00peturToki: offtopic.... but as a hint: in windows, right-click the recycle-bin and select properties...
14:30:31amiconnLinusN: I can build nothing when installing a multilib-patched arm-elf-gcc ...
14:30:31JdGordonI'm also not sure how well it would cope with building from multiple "top levels"

14:31:12LinusNamiconn: then i suggest you install the new packages
14:32:43preglowjmworx: yeah, i am working on a patch, should i eliminate all the unneeded copies i see too?
14:32:44amiconnAre they built with the same prefix I am using?
14:32:52roolkuJdGordon: I suppose it is a compromise, but I think it is a unclean trick to define a block just to be able to declare variables. :)
14:32:55amiconnAnd btw, I don't absolutely need multilibs...
14:33:40JdGordonroolku: yeah, I agree...
14:33:48roolkuJdGordon: I don't think it is neccessary to clutter up .rockbox with an database.ignore file - seems fairly unlikely someone will store audio files in it
14:34:35JdGordonllorean suggested (in march when this first came up) that the file should go in so people dont have to try and remember the filename

14:47:37Casainhoare settings saved in flash memory (Sansa example) ?

14:47:46LinusNJdGordon: "len" is a funny name for a file handle ;-)
14:47:48markunJdGordon: I just think it's more anoying that I now have to clutter my tree with files when I just want to index my albums dir
14:48:22JdGordonyou dont have to
14:48:41markunJdGordon: just for my folders which also contain audio files?
14:48:48JdGordonpixelma: it probably works because the 2nd *: is overwriting the none part
14:49:01JdGordonmarkun: just for folders with audio you dont want indexed
14:49:14JdGordonand only the top folder if there is a whole tree you want skipped
14:49:38pixelmaJdGordon: but it shouldn't on targets that don't have the specific feature
14:50:24JdGordonif that feature is missing then the *: none is correct
14:50:30JdGordonmaybe i misunderstood you?
14:51:06pixelmamaybe, I see that I'm not explaining very well...
14:51:31JdGordonyou mean when the source and dest features dont match up?

15:47:28preglowthis thing pulls every spc off perfectly
15:47:29DogBoylinuxstb, realaudio not being very useful doesn't keep a lot of content providers from using it
15:47:30markunpreglow: this might have to be reverted as it's not mathematically correct: http://svn.rockbox.org/viewvc.cgi?view=rev&revision=14786
15:47:40linuxstbAceNik_: If you create a file called 'database.ignore" in folder, then the database ignores all files in that folder (and all sub-folders).
15:48:08LinusNAceNik_: in short, for every folder (including subfolders) you want to exclude from the database search, add a file called "ROCKBOX_DATABASE_IGNORE_FOLDER"
15:48:30preglowmarkun: well, ok, i haven't checked it out too closely
15:48:33AceNik_linuxstb: but it would be just a file, containing nothing inside right? 0kb ? jus named "database.ignore" ?
15:48:38preglowmarkun: how incorrect is it?
15:48:40linuxstbLinusN: The name changed between flyspray and SVN...
15:49:19linuxstbAceNik_: Yes, Rockbox just checks if the file exists, so it can contain anything (or nothing)
15:49:56markunpreglow: I didn't hear any differences, but didn't compare the resulting wavs either

15:52:00AceNik_preglow: yes i agree, that is the case, but battery levels are jumpy, & also sometimes they arent fully empty but they show empty & shutdown, but afetr 10 mins the player can be turned on again, & the player shows 30-40% battery remaining

18:04:40preglowi was more thinking about removing one
18:04:51preglowjust wanted to make sure there's no reset between a clip and the silence clip
18:05:12jhMikeSthere won't be. only on explicit startup
18:06:52preglowno, the clip "file" is deinitely an init, followed by two clips
18:07:05preglowthen "two" comes along with an init, and another clip

18:08:47jhMikeSI have another thought though. If the filter will ring, skipping the lookahead after decoding may remove a soft transition.

18:17:55jhMikeSwell, true, it's paranoid but the cost is cheap to guarantee it

18:52:50*jhMikeS gets too many associations upon hearing "dithering"
18:52:55preglowjhMikeS: a guy uploaded one of thoC[C[C[Cse mastered-to-pieces metal tracks, and with crossfeed enabled, it actually seems to exhaust the 4 bit headroom of the mp3 output format...
18:53:09pregloweh, that's supposed to be "those", there, god knows what happened
18:53:26preglowi have no idea how that is possible, and i shall have to investigate
18:53:41jhMikeSI thought the 4-bit headroom was slightly too small
18:53:48preglowi thought it should be plenty
18:54:24preglowbut of course, that is assuming none of it is in use after decoding
18:54:27preglowand that's not true at all
18:54:32jhMikeSLimiting decoder output to 24-bits would be just fine imho
18:54:37preglowmp3 can overshoot that to an amazing degree
18:56:35jhMikeSThe problem is just an ARM problem I take it?
18:57:31preglownot in the least
18:57:40preglowdithering doesn't use emac
18:57:46jhMikeSbut it does clamp
18:57:55jhMikeSor is it wrapping noise?
18:57:58preglowwrappinmg
18:58:07preglowif the sample it gets is maxed out, dithering will overflow it
18:58:14preglowand with emac, it can be maxed out
18:58:23preglowbecause we have saturation for that enabled
18:58:46jhMikeSI did want to do an emac version of that
18:58:48preglowbut yes, another couple of bits of headroom would not hurt in the least
18:59:11preglowcodecs like wma definitely need to be fixed
18:59:15preglowi think it has one bit of headroom
18:59:16jhMikeSthen check if the sample is already as close to saturation as the amount you want to add to it first
18:59:31preglowand this will all break on arm, of course
18:59:37preglowi should try the track on arm, actually

19:31:14radinpwoodensoul: A regular expression library would allow string matching using a predefined set of operators on expressions. E.g. (*) or (+).

19:32:09radinpThis would pave way to the addition of a search function in the text_editor.
19:32:56linuxstbYou make it sound as if you could have a search function without regexps...
19:34:21*preglow wonders how people can stand using text_editor
19:34:22radinpSure, you could use the standard string library and use strcmp
19:34:23woodensoulsounds good radinp
19:35:28radinpI'm sure this regular expression library could be useful for other plugins but text_editor is the only one I can think of at the moment.

20:08:28scorche|w...
20:08:35maleAnd they won't take kindly to it...
20:09:33maleThey short answer is the svn "performs the functionality" of CVS, and git is nothing like CVS.

20:10:20scorche|wmale: my point was that it is offtopic here..
20:10:34maleIs it? rockbox uses svn.
20:10:45maleI assume that's why he brought it up.
20:11:36radinpSorry about that question. I think it's an appropriate question. As it's integral to the development of rockbox.
20:12:00krazykitradinp, i'd search the IRC logs. i believe it's been discussed in this channel before.
20:12:02scorche|wradinp: ah, but you didnt phrase it as if it applied to rockbox ;)
20:12:36scorche|wmale: the question is offtopic...asking about how it would impact rockbox is on-topic
20:12:38jhMikeSpreglow: where does this distribution come in? shaping more strongly near the x axis? and less at the extreme amplitudes?
20:12:40rasheramiconn: would you mind testing a patch to buildzip.pl? I've just gone for the low-hanging fruit, so I'm not sure it makes any difference in speed
20:13:13scorche|wradinp: this may be of use: http://www.rockbox.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/GitVersionControl
20:13:15malescorche|w: Are discussions of what is and what isn't on-topic, on-topic/
20:14:07radinpscorche|w: Thanks, I knew I saw that page previously.
20:14:15maleUsing git to track an svn repo is better than having to use svn directly, but it's nothing like using the git model alone.
20:14:54scorche|wmale: is there something you are trying to get at with that question?
20:15:51markunscorche|w: that we should switch to git of course :)
20:16:20scorche|wmarkun: the question...not the statement ;)
20:16:21malescorche|w: You spam the channel more with this on-topic, off-topic bull**** than would just letting small asides slide.
20:16:51scorche|wmale: it prevents further spam
20:16:53markunouch ;)
20:16:59scorche|wspam/offtopicness
20:17:18scorche|wit may not do it immediately, but it does
20:17:23tierraThis discussion was only going to devolve into an argument about which VCS is better anyway, which never gets anywhere.
20:18:01radinpGit looks very interesting, but it looks like it will be a pain to use in conjunction with subversion. Looks like Git makes a lot of sense if you're starting a project from scratch.
20:18:03markuntierra: why not? That's how we switched from cvs to subversion, which I don't think anyone regrets
20:18:40scorche|wthe current position is mainly: "yes we see that git offers many benefits, but is it really worth the effort to change?"
20:20:05Nico_Pyeah I'm not sure git would bring a benefit as main VCS for us
20:20:31scorche|wwel, it would..
20:20:34scorche|w:)
20:20:44Nico_Pyeah, but lots of complications too
20:20:51scorche|wexactly
20:20:59maleIt isn't much effort to change to git at all.
20:21:01Nico_Pit is very nice for local dev though
20:21:04preglowjhMikeS: mno
20:21:14maleThe hard part is convincing everybody that the svn repo is shutdown ;-)
20:21:28Nico_Pmale: changing the repo isn't hard, but teaching everyone to use it is
20:21:31preglowjhMikeS: dithering function output doesn't have anything to do with signal amplitude
20:21:37n1smale: we have a buch of scripts that need adjusting etc...
20:21:52malen1s: True.
20:21:58radinpSo, with this distributed approach where would a backup copy of the rockbox source sit?
20:22:13scorche|wa backup copy?
20:22:16markunmale: well, we also have some scripts which need to be changed
20:22:19maleEveryone has a copy in git.
20:22:26Nico_Pmale: I use it and love it... but I think it would be overkill for us as a main repo
20:22:29*amiconn would hate switching to git
20:22:40markunamiconn: why?
20:22:52Nico_Pmarkun: rockbox.org would have the main repo
20:22:53scorche|wwell, first off, there isnt a windows client
20:22:55amiconnBecause of slowness
20:22:58markunNico_P: so?
20:23:00maleThat's bullshit.
20:23:01Nico_Pscorche|w: it's coming
20:23:11maleThey go to a lot of trouble to support windows.
20:23:12scorche|wNico_P: yes
20:23:13preglowgit is hardly slow
20:23:21male(god knows why)
20:23:23Nico_Pmarkun: sorry, that was for radinp (same nick color)
20:23:31amiconnAnd I really don't get why git should be superior to svn
20:23:34scorche|wmale: it sint bullshit...there is not currently a proper windows client
20:23:38amiconnsvn does all we need...
20:24:04malescorche|w: Proper meaning.... Completely monolithic and standalone?
20:24:11Nico_Pscorche|w: and there is no tortoisegit ;)
20:24:20preglowamiconn: it's easier to do several branches and stuff with git, but we don't do that much anyway
20:24:22scorche|wmale: see Nico_P for what i mean
20:24:28Nico_Pmale: you have to admit windows support is pretty poor ATM
20:24:50Nico_Ppreglow: maybe we would if it were easy ;)
20:25:05markunamiconn: it's easier for me to work on multiple areas of rockbox with git than with svn
20:25:06amiconnI don't need a native windows client, cygwin would be sufficient, but the cygwin git port is reported to be sloo-ow
20:25:06Nico_Pamiconn: git is faaast one linux
20:25:14Nico_Ps/one/on/
20:25:14preglowNico_P: why? i thought we decided against using several branches
20:25:25Nico_Ppreglow: did we?

20:26:03preglowjhMikeS: the values for dither, the random output
20:26:12Nico_Ppreglow: IIRC we decided to use branches to maintain releases, and mrobe dev is in trunk because merging is a PITA in svn
20:26:12*amiconn didn't and doesn't use those tortoise* thingies
20:26:16scorche|wpreglow: partly because it is such a pain to merge

20:26:34preglowscorche|w: no, that wasn't part of the reason at all
20:26:49preglowjhMikeS: a rect-pdf dither will spit out values from -1 to +1 with equal probability, where tri-pdf will tend to spit out values around 0
20:27:01Nico_Ppreglow: it was the reason why the S devs merged their branch back
20:27:02jhMikeSrandom alone surely isn't
20:27:10tierraWas I not correct? This discussion simply devolved into an argument...
20:27:14markunpreglow: well, it *was* a pain to merge the gigabeat branch back
20:27:14radinpI'm starting to see the benefits of Git. It seems very similar to bittorrent approach.
20:27:25tierrano-one here is going to come out ahead
20:27:27amiconnNico_P: Yeah, but not everybody uses linux. Even though I have a linux box, and I know linux is faster at building rockbox, I'm still doing most of my development in cygwin
20:27:30tierrayou should all get back on topic
20:27:38preglowNico_P: but not the reason we decided to put all future ports in the main branch, that was because we feel new port development is better integrated that way
20:27:47markuntierra: which topic do you want to talk about?
20:27:59preglowNico_P: with new port devs having to take into consideration all the other ports from an early stage, simply because they live in the same tree and do the same daily builds
20:28:00Nico_Pamiconn: I'm not saying it's the main argument, but it feels real good and when the windows version comes to that level you might like it too ;)
20:28:00rasheramiconn: did you see my question about buildzip.pl?
20:28:04linuxstbmarkun: Looking back, would it have been a problem to have developed the F port in the main Rockbox CVS from the start?
20:28:31tierrawell, I don't want to talk about anything in here, but there are probably others here that are being hesitant about interupting your pointless discussion with a request for help with Rockbox
20:28:33 Quit evert ("leaving")
20:28:42markunlinuxstb: maybe not, but people were experimenting a lot in their own trees and didn't have commit rights
20:28:47Nico_Ppreglow: I agree ports are better suited in the trunk because they don't hurt anyone, but branches are meant for unstable dev
20:28:58bertrikWould it be acceptable to post 10 sec music clip on the bug tracker, to demonstrate a bug?
20:29:09preglowbertrik: sure
20:29:11amiconnNico_P: Well, so far I did work with svn (rockbox), but not yet with git. And since I see no benefit in git over svn, I won't start using it until forced (which I would hate)
20:29:19Lloreantierra: This is a rockbox development channel. Since we're discussing how choice of VCS affects the future of Rockbox Development, how is that off topic?
20:29:21tierrabesides, if there was to be any decision on the matter, it would half to be discussed on either your mailing lists or forums, right?
20:29:25markuntierra: it will quiet down in an hour :)
20:29:33tierraand you would all just be repeating yourselves
20:29:35preglowi don't care what source code management tools we do use at all
20:29:39Nico_Ppreglow, amiconn: I would've gone crazy doing MoB without git
20:29:40preglowsvn is ok, git will be ok, whatever
20:29:48Lloreantierra: No, actually the people who make the decision are most likely to be here. And absolutely least likely to ever see anything in the forums, which are more for support.
20:30:02Nico_Pit could have been something else but it was git
20:30:12thgzHi again
20:30:14radinpSorry, it's all my fault
20:30:17bertrikhi thgz
20:30:20radinpI started the Git topic.
20:30:21preglownow that the major annoyances of cvs is gone, i'll be just fine with svn
20:30:28preglowbut if someone decides we are to use git, i'm a-ok with that
20:30:31*bertrik agrees with preglow
20:30:31Nico_Ptierra: we tend to not use the ML enough
20:30:32tierraso anyone of the devs that this might matter to looses out if they just didn't happen to be here while it's being discussed? that's pretty dumb
20:30:34amiconnWell, what would be the benefit? We do want a central repo, hence no multiple official repos. And I really don't see why I would need an own repo
20:30:55preglowamiconn: a local repo would be fun, though
20:31:01Nico_Pamiconn: I didn't either until I had one
20:31:03scorche|wtierra: we keep logs, and many read them....this partly why i enforce many rules here
20:31:06amiconnI have a working copy, and that's sufficient. In *very* rare cases, I use a second working copy
20:31:07thgzWhenever I start SIM with english.voice included, I don't get any speech output in the UI
20:31:19linuxstbNico_P: Would Rockbox using git officially have made any difference to you? From what it sounds, SVN centrally and git locally seems to work well for people...
20:31:19thgzI'm buildin on Sansa E200 series
20:31:20Lloreantierra: First, the decision can't be made instantly. Second, there are logs. Third, if a dev isn't interested enough in development to at least keep his toe in what's going on, isn't that his own fault?
20:31:23maleamiconn: Because it makes it easier on you to develop features with other programmers without polluting the main repo.
20:31:39Nico_Plinuxstb: honestly, not much diff, no... I'm fine the way it is
20:31:51maleamiconn: It also makes it easier for you to track the development of others.
20:31:54amiconnpreglow: Why? Just more overhead to handle...
20:31:55tierrayou don't find the logs harder to filter through than a mailing list discussion?
20:32:03radinpEspecially developers like myself who are inexperienced with the rb source.
20:32:05Nico_Pamiconn: my local repo is probably smaller than *one* of your working copies and I have 4 branches
20:32:14 Quit woodensoul ()
20:32:44linuxstbNico_P: So how do you work with local branches? Surely you need local checkouts in order to compile?
20:32:49*amiconn doesn't care much about diskspace
20:33:04Lloreantierra: I didn't say they weren't easier to filter through. But with our number of devs, were git realistically likely to happen, first word would spread, then people would ask for reference to the time in the logs to see what the arguments for and against were, then a decision would be made.
20:33:10amiconnI rather use up some extra diskspace than handle extra overhead
20:33:11Nico_Pamiconn: me neither, but it's still a strong point IMO
20:33:11malelinuxstb: The checkouts are ephemeral.
20:33:23Nico_Plinuxstb: I have one local checkout
20:33:44linuxstbSo how does that work?
20:33:53amiconnWhy would I need more than the trunk? I really don't understand...
20:34:10Nico_Pamiconn: working on several things...
20:34:10maleAnd that's the key problem.
20:34:26Lloreantierra: Your assumption that any major development happens on the mailing list in relations to this project is mostly false. But a message saying "We're contemplating a change to git, and are currently in favour" would go out surely long before a change would happen.
20:34:27maleIf everybody did a little reading about git I think there would be a lot more enthusiasm here.
20:34:30tierraLlorean: they've still missed their chance to get their word in edge-wise with the people involved with the initial discussion
20:34:35bertrikI don't see any problem at all
20:34:35Lloreantierra: Which is no reason against discussing it realtime.
20:34:39Nico_Plinuxstb: you just checkout the branch you want (equivalent to svn switch)
20:34:43tierrathat's not really a "discussion"
20:34:48jhMikeSpreglow: I am missing part of the picture here though I do understand that the tri-pdf will of course spit out values with the highest p at the center (peak) of the window (well it's a triangular dist. afterall ;)
20:35:13Lloreantierra: Delineating the advantages and disadvantages of it in relation to the needs of Rockbox as a project with multiple inputs is not a discussion?
20:35:24amiconnNico_P: And why does working on several things need several branches?
20:35:30n1sMy opinion is that git is a solution in search of a problem...
20:35:32preglowjhMikeS: then what part of the picture is missing?
20:35:41amiconnI can do that fine within a single working copy..
20:35:45maleamiconn: Because it makes it easier on you.
20:35:50Nico_Pamiconn: it doesn't always, but it can become very nice if they are big changes
20:35:52tierraI can only see that process resulting in biased decisions being made based on who happens to be in the channel during the discussion
20:35:56maleamiconn: And git has no penalty for branching.
20:35:59Lloreantierra: Were you specifically aware that git would be disadvantageous because in relation to new ports it more readily allows those developing them to work outside of the automated build system, and ignore their impact on existing ports?
20:36:02Nico_Pamiconn: I'm curious as to how you manage your work
20:36:15Lloreantierra: Then frankly, you're an idiot for assuming the whole decision will happen here.
20:36:20amiconnmale: I'm not afraid of a penalty in the tool, but the penalty of a branch in itself
20:36:25Lloreantierra: If an email goes to the list, SOMEONE has to write it.
20:36:31*amiconn prefers KISS
20:36:37maleamiconn: Git is pure KISS.
20:36:47Lloreantierra: If the email is based on a single person's desire for GIT, is it more or less likely to be biased compared to a discussion where some people are against GIT, and some for?
20:37:03maleamiconn: It's just that the minimum level of simplicity is more complex than you're used to.
20:37:15maleamiconn: (for distributed SCM)
20:37:21Nico_PLlorean: I have to admit I kinda agree with tierra... we underuse the ML
20:37:25amiconnNico_P: I just work on source files, and commit those changes which belong to the part of the work I want to commit...
20:37:36tierrawell, sure, so they even get their chance to explain their point of view completely, then you see everyone's reply to that
20:37:54maleamiconn: I'm not aware of anyone who has switch from svn to git and decided to go back.
20:37:59tierraalso, generally speaking, posts to mailing lists are much more thought out responses
20:38:00Nico_Pamiconn: what do you do when you have large changes you can't commit progressively? and want to work on another small change?
20:38:00LloreanNico_P: My point isn't about the use of the ML. As I said, this discussion can be linked to in a post to the ML and you know as well as I do, the ML gets used before major changes to "how things work"
20:38:01scorche|wNico_P: i think so too...especially when you compare with other projects
20:38:24tierrayou aren't going to get these quick interjections with stupid comments like "git sucks!"
20:38:24amiconnNico_P: Then I just leave the big change uncommitted, and work on & commit the small one
20:38:34maleamiconn: That's bad and confusing!
20:38:35amiconnBut that's so rare it's not even worth discussing
20:38:35Lloreantierra: Obviously, you've never seen our user list.
20:38:45maleamiconn: With git you can commit every change without penalty.
20:38:47tierrayou don't have a development list?
20:38:52LloreanWe have a development list
20:38:59preglowrasher: nice
20:39:00amiconnPerhaps it is due to how I do stuff that requires big changes
20:39:03LloreanAre you making access is restricted to it?
20:39:04Nico_Pamiconn: what do you do if the small change is in one of the file you've already changed? it happens to me
20:39:05thgzThe problem may be in my Building environment, I try to use a prebuilt binary
20:39:11Lloreanmaking the assumption that, rather
20:39:19rasherpreglow: What?
20:39:35amiconnNico_P: It *never* happened to me that I had non-trivial changes from 2 features within one source file...

20:40:02preglowrasher: buildzip patch
20:40:11jhMikeSpreglow: some background knowledge is missing to put all together
20:40:12amiconnThe only exceptions are the config-*<target>.h files, sometimes
20:40:12bertrikthgz: I also use a prebuilt gnuarm tool chain with no ill effect so far (I've tried something like 100 revisions)
20:40:44Nico_Pamiconn: well, you're lucky :) and how do you compile to test? I'm sure you manage all those things I'm asking you about, but git makes them so natural it's hard to imagine working without it
20:40:45amiconnThere it might happen that I have 2 features enabled for a target, and in the commit only one feature must be enabled
20:40:59amiconnNico_P: configure && make && make zip
20:40:59Lloreantierra: Many of the people who'd comment on the -devel list are just as likely to make irrelevant comments. Either because they're in favour of it because it makes unsupported builds easier, or they're against it for philosophical reasons, or whatever. Being a mailing list doesn't automatically make them more well thought out reasons than being IRC makes them less thought out.
20:41:14Nico_Pamiconn: of course... but when you have both changes in
20:41:19amiconn(the configure step just once every few weeks)
20:41:27amiconnThen I have both changes in....
20:41:49rasherpreglow: ah yes. I suspect the current patch won't change speed much though. It's the "find" runs that cost most, presumably.
20:42:02Lloreantierra: As well, do you know how many of the core, active, commit access having developers aren't involved in this discussion?
20:42:06amiconnAs already said, maybe it's due to the way I do stuff that requires big changes

20:43:10amiconnI'm usually thinking it through as far as possible without changing a single line of code (except a few lines of test code here & there), and only if I am sure what to do, start writing the actual code

20:53:20Nico_Pwhat I really loved with git was incremental history of my local MoB dev
20:53:22bertrikI know there is a patch for backlight fade, but IIRC it violates some rules regarding i2c use in a tick task
20:53:34briantumoroh yeah... you can adjust the brightness?
20:53:53preglowjhMikeS: does e200 retailos do fading?
20:54:13bertrikyes, there is a 16-step controllable current source, which should result in a linear backlight brightness range
20:54:16jhMikeSbertrick: yeah, using any blocking functions (like mutx_wait) from an ISR is a strict nono
20:54:38jhMikeSpreglow: no
20:55:02preglowok, just wondering since i see that wheel light dimming patch/code uses the user timer
20:55:11amiconn16 steps would be quite ugly for fading
20:55:14jhMikeSthat's just an on/off through GPIO
20:55:20preglowbut i guess that's a-ok if it's not in use by pwm fading
20:55:54amiconniPod Video has 32 brightness levels in hardware. The OF does use it for fading, and the steps are visible
20:56:33bertrikvisible ok, but annoyingly so?
20:56:44amiconnHence rockbox uses software pwm fading *in addition* to using hardware brightness for brightness

20:57:18preglowamiconn: btw, did you figure out if pwm is used for 5g/nano backlight intensity?
20:57:35woodensoulHow can I delete files I've uploaded to the Wiki?
20:57:42amiconnThis is possible because there's a gpio pin for switching the light, independently of the hardware brightness circuit
20:57:59bertrikoh, I was wrong about 16 levels, it's 32 level (including off)
20:58:18amiconnpreglow: I would think so. I googled a bit and found that pulse controlled backlight pwm chips are quite common
20:58:30preglowamiconn: has to use a really high freq, then
20:58:42amiconnThe hardware pwm is most probably in the kHz range
20:59:00preglowbtw, any new bootloaders for 5g/nano?

21:01:27amiconnIt goes min brightness (apple loader) -> max brightness (rockbox bootloader) -> min brightness (default in main rb) -> configured brightness
21:01:43preglowhahaha
21:01:53preglowapple loader doesn't seem to use the backlight at all for me
21:01:58amiconnImo the rockbox bootloader should also use min brightness
21:02:03amiconnOn Video it does
21:02:33linuxstbIt pretty much has to, as it takes about 10 minutes to boot...
21:03:10preglowamiconn: well, we should match it to what apple uses
21:03:22pregloweverything just to avoid the glitching, it looks really bad
21:03:29woodensoulwell is there an admin around so I can request they be deleted?
21:03:35linuxstbIs there anything else we want to change the ipod bootloaders?
21:03:39bertrikmaybe do not nothing at all to the brightness
21:04:11bertrik*delete not
21:04:14preglowamiconn: there is no backlight at all here when the apple logo is displayed
21:04:30amiconnJust recompiling the bootloader should fix that behaviour, but I didn't try that yet
21:05:15amiconnpreglow: You're right. However, I would prefer a little bit of light in our bootloader
21:05:21jhMikeSshouldn't the brightness be at the default when booting then just be switch to the user setting after the logo? other stuff does that.

21:07:12preglowLlorean: too bad it's so damned ugly, then

21:11:49amiconnLlorean: Mainly we need a *small* logo, as on some targets, the bootloader must not exceed a size limit which is quite low

22:09:40bertrikCasainho: you can use a kind of accumulator that you add the desired light level to. The overflow bit is then the bit to enable/disable the wheel light
22:10:01 Quit ender` (Read error: 104 (Connection reset by peer))
22:10:19bertrikfor example, if you add 128 to the accumulator, it will overflow once every two cycles, making a 50% duty cycle
22:10:30bertrik(overflow to the 8-th bit I mean)
22:10:34amiconnCasainho: Setting the timer to 100us permanently is a waste
22:10:37jhMikeSwell, tri will produce the same max amplitude as rect but twice the width (to get the same area)
22:10:37 Quit Frazz (Read error: 110 (Connection timed out))
22:10:48amiconnYOu could just do what the backlight software pwm does
22:11:24jhMikeSwait, actually tri will produce twice the amplitude and twice the dist width
22:11:30Casainhowell, I don't know how backlight pwm work, I didin't look for that...
22:11:46 Quit Fraser ("Leaving")
22:12:13amiconnIt programs the timer for each phase, so even though the backlight pwm uses half the period (5ms repeat cycle and 1% steps), it just fires 400 interrupts/sec, not 10,000
22:12:13bertrikthe way of duty-cycle modulation I'm proposing always results in the highest possible switching frequency
22:12:19Casainhobertrik: thanks for that infor about accumulator
22:12:35amiconnThat said, a permanent software pwm will most likely be rejected for svn inclusion
22:12:58jhMikeSI guess it needs appropriate scaling...haven't looked at the full pipeline of stuff yet
22:13:07bertrikamiconn: ah ok, you use a hardware timer to trigger the interrupts
22:13:22amiconnbertrik: Yes, sure. There is no other way
22:13:30CasainhoI understand - I just wanted to learn and have wheel light with less bright...

22:15:56linuxstbamiconn: But doesn't it only use sleep() if something goes wrong? IIRC the ipod bootloaders worked for a long time with a broken sleep(), and we only noticed when testing on the 5.5g?

22:17:40Casainhobertrik: how is backlight PWM'd? - at waht frequency?
22:17:43bertrikI was under the impression that the interrupt was increasing a counter, with something like 255 interrupts for one PWM cycle
22:17:59jhMikeSthe output from the history really looks more gaussian...from d it's triangular
22:17:59amiconnbertrik: Not the backlight pwm - see backlight.c
22:18:05bertrikbut the backlight uses a different method that can get 1 cycle for two interrupts
22:18:14amiconnIt reprograms the timer for the lowest possible interrupt rate

22:21:10Casainhoso, making PWM, for backlight or others lights, will not be desired? - because of CPU load?
22:21:22amiconnYes, not permanently
22:21:29amiconnFor fade in/fade out it's okay
22:21:54amiconnAnd btw you cannot easily use it for multiple ligts
22:22:00Casainhoah, I understand, because fade in/out is just sometimes and not always genertaing PWM...
22:22:10preglowamiconn: e200 doesn't have backgliht fading, so it's ok
22:22:39Casainhowhy can't for multiple lights??
22:22:57bertrikI think I would already be happy with backlight fades using hardware brightness control
22:23:45amiconnlinuxstb: ehhhh... I think I found the real problem now...
22:23:54Casainhois there hardware for brightness control on Sansa e200??
22:24:01amiconnsleep() *is* faked - but it calls switch_thread()
22:24:11linuxstbThat's what I was just looking at...
22:24:19amiconnAnd the backlight init is called before kernel_init()....
22:24:34linuxstbAh...
22:25:26linuxstbIs there any reason to call switch_thread in the bootloader? Do any PP bootloaders create threads?
22:25:33amiconnsure
22:25:38amiconnE.g. the ata thread
22:26:02pixelmaNico_P: haven't measured, it's not a very long time.
22:26:08amiconnI'll move backlight_init() past kernel_init() and test
22:26:10bertrikwow, backlight level can go up to 31, but the current maximum 12 is already quite bright
22:26:40Nico_Ppixelma: in my case it was less than a second I think

(2) the passwords might be protected from revealing, but not from losing access (when the dap gets broken/stolen etc)
22:53:21Nico_Pbut in some cases the elapsed value will still be 0 even now that I improved that
22:53:41preglowamiconn: none of those are showstoppers, if you ask me

22:54:27LloreanSurely even up, up, down, down, left, right, left, right as a password to getting to your various door codes and such is more secure than a sticky note in your wallet, for someone with very poor memory. :)

23:14:12*barrywardell points out that we even have encryption already in the pp-mi4 bootloaders - it's used to boot the H10 OF
23:15:15Lloreanbarrywardell: And the OF takes forever to decrypt on the Sansa at least.
23:15:22LloreanRunning a decrypted OF is drastically faster.
23:16:33barrywardellis the cpu boosted? that makes a big difference
23:16:44LloreanNo clue
23:17:40LloreanAnd the firmware is a fairly big file, too. So that doesn't help
23:17:42linuxstbNo, I don't think it is. Which also makes me wonder about that IDE0_CONFIG change - we're setting the so-called "> 65MHz bit" in the bootloader now. Was the Nano bootloader tested with that change?
23:17:48LloreanDon't know how intensive the algorithm is.

23:23:04Nico_Proolku: you'll probably know better than me if it fixes the problem
23:24:17roolkuNico_P: will take a bit, I am currently doing a test compile for the check_dir thing amiconn pointed out
23:24:33roolkuNico_P: but, yes please. :)
23:24:42linuxstbLlorean: I'm guessing oblib didn't test the bootloader, as it was broken with amiconn's backlight work (which has just been fixed). But I guess we'll find out when someone tests the latest Nano bootloader...
23:24:46Nico_Proolku: http://pastebin.ca/793060
23:25:12amiconnLlorean: The OF bootloader being slow doesn't tell much about the algorithm... remember archos boot time with archos loader + OF?
23:25:45amiconnThe descramble *can* be made fast, as our rolo code shows...
23:25:57Lloreanamiconn: I was judging "Rockbox loading encrypted OF vs decrypted OF"
23:26:18LloreanAt least, I think those were the two cases I'm judging on. :)
23:26:25linuxstbI don't think anyone has tried to optimise our mi4 decrypt function either.
23:26:34amiconnah, ok
23:26:43Lloreanamiconn: So, about linuxstb's question. >65mhz is set in the bootloader, is this a bad thing?
23:26:48amiconnBut the OF is quite large, I guess
23:27:04LloreanYeah, large enough that it's not a representative file size for what someone's likely to want to encrypt with a dap.
23:27:10amiconnLlorean: I don't know. I'm not even sure whether this bit is named correctly
23:27:18Nico_Proolku: do you think FS #8196 is related?

23:30:06barrywardellLlorean: decrypting the H10 bootloader takes just a couple of seconds here.

23:45:14johnf1911question" last night I upgraded my H120 to a recent release of rockbox, from one dating from 2k5/2k6; I listened to it during the day, things are generally good; however: I used to get 16 hours of run time on a full charge, when I used it for an hour today on my trip home, it reported an estimated time remaining of 6h00; have there been major batter regressions either in recent release, or compared to ancient release?
23:45:40preglowjhMikeS: rockbox should last longer than ever
23:45:42preglowehh
23:45:45johnf1911it could be that time estimate is inaccurate / different than it used to be
23:45:46preglowjohnf1911: rockbox should last longer than ever
23:45:47johnf1911irssi what :)
23:45:52preglowjohnf1911: the estimate might be off

23:46:06n1sjohnf1911: that estimate is a notorious lier ;)
23:46:36johnf1911that is true
23:46:43johnf1911I will see how long it really lasts

23:48:11preglowjohnf1911: you should get more than 16 hours now
23:48:18preglowjohnf1911: even i do, and my battery is old and smells bad
23:48:22johnf1911ok, cool
23:48:28johnf1911I'll see what my actual experience is
23:48:32johnf1911and come back if it sucks :)
23:48:42johnf1911thanks again

23:49:11jhMikeSpreglow: :)
23:49:28preglowirssi needs an ai based nick completer
23:49:40jhMikeSif that's supposed to have a triangular ditribution, it doesn't. it's rather gaussian in SVN
23:50:14jmspeexpreglow: can you email it to me?

23:52:47preglowjmspeex: tested with speexenc/dec, seems to work fine
23:53:00Zagorlinuxstb: not much progress. I should probably commit the basics needed for charging before venturing further into the 64-byte test.
23:54:38jmspeexpreglow: most important, does it make a difference in performance?
23:54:47scorche|wZagor: not to interrupt your work, but when you get the time, can you remove the bright yellow color as an option for nicks in the IRC log script?
23:55:09jmspeexpreglow: or code size
23:55:35preglowjmspeex: haven't checked performance, but unless the target mem* sucks badly, it should be faster
23:55:37 Quit thegeek (Read error: 110 (Connection timed out))
23:55:38preglowcan check code now
23:56:04jmspeexpreglow: It could also be the same speed if the copies are negligible...
23:57:23Zagorscorche|w: the colours are created using a simple algorithm using first/mid/last nick character for rgb values.
23:57:33preglowjmspeex: binary size is smaller on amd64, by as much as 0.5kb for the encoder, 150b or so for the decoder
23:58:08roolkuNico_P: hm, my sim refuses to initialise the database now - what have I broken...
23:58:16preglowjmspeex: some of those copies are framelength size, those'll surely be faster
23:58:22Zagorscorche|w: so I can't fix a specific colour, I/we have to fix the algorithm
