00:03:11linuxstbBagder: Have you compared the US and EU versions of the m200v2 firmware? The headers are almost identical, even though there are quite a few differences in the firmwares themselves (mainly the strings).
00:03:29Bagderno I haven't
00:03:46Bagderyou have them around?
00:03:54linuxstbI got them from your website...
00:04:11Bagderhm, I better check... :-)
00:04:33linuxstbI think.... Did you change them?
00:05:02linuxstbAh, maybe they weren't from your site - they are .7z files
00:05:20Bagderyeah, and I only have the A version here
00:05:32BagderI think zefie.com has them
00:05:53Bagderyes
00:05:58Bagderhttp://files.zefie.com/PMP/sansa/m200/firmware/4.1.08/

00:10:00dan_aIt might be a challenge squeezing Rockbox onto that
00:10:33advcomp2019Bagder, there is a new clip firmware
00:10:49Bagderadvcomp2019: have a url?
00:11:23linuxstbdan_a: So there's definitely no external DRAM - just the 2.5Mbit embedded in the SoC?
00:11:49dan_alinuxstb: I've not disassembled it, but that's what I've heard

00:17:58B33B5oh ok, it won't freak out because it's non-apple software in the bootloader
00:19:27dan_alinuxstb: Looking at the disassembly pics on anythingbutipod.com I can't see anything that would be DRAM

01:07:17isamuhello
01:07:46radinpOf course I could just implement strstr() in my own plugin but it's a pretty common function. It makes sense to code it directly into plugin.c
01:08:04isamui've spent the last 4 hours trying to put music on my toshiba gigabeat F40 with rockbox. can someone please help me!!!
01:09:05darkhelmetcan rock box display cover art?
01:10:09radinpSo if I just declare strstr in the plugin_api struct then it's availabe for all plugins? That doesn't make any sense.
01:10:33isamudoes anyone know why my gigabeat f40 would just timeout at a certain point after moving files onto it
01:10:50preglowWorkaphobia: we add functions to the plugin api as we need them
01:11:00preglowdarkhelmet: yes
01:11:05isamuto move music onto the gigabeat should I just be drag and dropping through explorer?
01:11:15preglowradinp: why dooesn't that make sense?
01:11:44radinpIt seems too simple :-)
01:11:56preglowhahah, it should be hard? :P
01:12:20preglowradinp: you declare it in the struct in plugin.h, then you add the actual pointer entry in plugin.c
01:12:37radinpGotcha, thanks for the clarification.
01:12:38preglowradinp: just check how it's done for the other str* guys, it's really simple
01:12:40pixelmadarkhelmet: http://www.rockbox.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/AlbumArt and I haven't seen a c200 WPS (while playing screen) available for download that has it. In fact I haven't seen any c200 WPSs that are shared only the included ones
01:12:45Workaphobiait's just that strcmp and strstr are of comparable utility and code size
01:14:32radinpSo what is the consensus? To add or not to add strstr to the plugin api?
01:14:44darkhelmetpixelma thanks, i need to figure out how to ctually play songs first i guess
01:15:06WorkaphobiaOh.. Looking at the complexity of plugin_api in plugin.h kinda answers my question. That seems like a pain to modify, only inserting at the end and whatnot.
01:15:21preglowradinp: go ahead and add
01:16:29radinpAwesome, that made my day.

02:52:29LloreanBecause he believes good intentions and enthusiasm are a valid replacement for "spending time learning about what has been done, and what needs to be done"
02:53:01Llorean|NSA|: It needs to be a Mass Storage Class device. If there's not a setting in the menu to change it from MTP to MSC, you'll have to downgrade to older firmware. I'm not sure how that's done though

03:40:21webguest49hello?
03:40:34krazykithello
03:41:30psycho_maniaccan you run rockbox on the sansa e260? does that go with the e200 series?
03:41:48krazykitpsycho_maniac, yes, the e260 is part of the e200 series, as long as it's v1 and NOT v2
03:42:37krazykitso if you get that woot, it'll most likely be a v1, and might be a Rhapsody model, which is still rockboxable.
03:42:53psycho_maniachaha thanks krazykit
03:44:13|NSA|hmm, so there is no support for usb in rockbox for sansa yet? i need to boot into the original firmware correct?

04:26:38Mouser_XI don't have an iPod, so I doubt I can be much help.
04:27:22Mouser_XEven if I did, I'd avoid using iTunes as much as I physically possibly could. In other words, I wouldn't get an iPod, just so I wouldn't have to use iTunes.
04:28:58webguest15Well it's too late for that. I already have about 100 or so purchased tracks from the iTunes Store so I'm more or less stuck with it.
04:29:15webguest15I just don't want to have to buy another iPod. I'm pretty sure that if I complain to Apple they'll just turn me away for running Rockbox.
04:29:34psycho_maniacwebguest15: hold select and menu for a couple of seconds untill the player turns on.
04:29:56psycho_maniachold them at the same time*
04:30:11webguest15That's what I tried at first, but that did nothing. None of the buttons do anything.
04:30:47psycho_maniacsometimes you have to press them at _exactly_ the same time. did you try more than once?
04:30:48Mouser_Xwebguest15: They won't complain at you for running Rockbox. At least, what I recall hearing is that they can't *prove* that you ran Rockbos. Also, you're not breaking any agreements by running. I could be wrong on both of those, but that's what I remember.
04:30:55rasherhold them a long time. Also, flicking hold on and off might help.
04:31:31webguest15Well, by "complain" I meant "refuse to help." I know that Rockbox is legal.

04:32:41webguest15the odd thing is that even when it is plugged in nothing comes up. The last two or three times I plugged the iPod in with Rockbox installed it loaded.
04:33:22Shaidsometimes you have to hold the menu+select keys for a while before it reboots.

04:33:58webguest15I just tried the reset combo again and it works now. Thanks.
04:34:39ShaidCool

04:37:41ShaidI like happy endings.
04:38:31webguest15I think it might have been because I tried both "Update Now" and "Intialize Now" before I found out that the latter reset the Databace.
04:38:51webguest15I gues it was working this whole time or something.

05:07:44psycho_maniacstrangly my gigabeat F is running slow. would it have anything to do with a 30% battery life?
05:08:26lemurwhy does the sansa have two partitions
05:08:27lemurhmm
05:08:33Mouser_Xpsycho_maniac: Slow how? I've used my Gigabeat until it's shut itself off because of low power, and I haven't noticed a problem.
05:08:36lemurcan rockbox use file systems other than fat?
05:08:40krazykitlemur, one is the firmware partition.
05:08:47psycho_maniaclaggy like a lot of cpu is being used
05:08:54Mouser_Xlemur: No, it can't. It needs to be FAT32.
05:09:04psycho_maniaci dont have the latest build but its been running fine the last time i used it
05:09:05lemurwow, I didn't know the firmware was on a partition
05:09:33Mouser_Xlemur: Yes. It's why using a regurlar formatting tool is often a bad idea.

05:10:18lemurah, I think rockbox has superior sound quality than the factory firmware

06:07:55LloreanOf course, several of the existing codecs are too big for it, but even after having those not build and shrinking the buffer I was getting some other error
06:07:58jhMikeSI think the memory space is just plain too tight.
06:09:01jhMikeSA SWCODEC target with less memory than an Archos Jukebox? Urgh.
06:09:05Llorean1 MB isn't all that small on a flash device though

06:09:43 Quit lemur (Read error: 104 (Connection reset by peer))
06:09:58LloreanI remember someone shrinking theirs on their Nano to almost none so that their plugin buffer was giant.
06:11:02LloreanIt's not like the 312KB that the new Sansa Clip has. :)
06:11:16psycho_maniacwow you mean that player thats kinda in the shape of a long triangle?
06:11:25jhMikeSI think perhaps some real adjument to flash devices is needed. They don't write as fast as disk devices and huge flushes during recording can take awhile.
06:12:13LloreanjhMikeS: Yeah, there's a lot of assumptions still based around there being a spinup time and other things, too.
06:13:57jhMikeSRecording can handle the mods with little effort actually.
06:14:38LloreanHm, nearly all our flash targets can record, can't they?
06:15:06jhMikeSI don't know. I'd still want to encode to RAM of course but perhaps flush every MB or so.
06:15:20jhMikeSDoes iFP have recording?
06:15:29LloreanYes.
06:15:37LloreanBuiltin mic, plus line in
06:15:40psycho_maniacthe ifp was back when the h100 was popular wasnt it?
06:15:46LloreanIt's kinda like a very, very small H120 without optical.
06:16:25jhMikeSrecording could cut far closer than 1MB on a flash-only target.
06:16:57LloreanShould I arrange to get one in your hands and convince you to finish the port? :-P
06:17:08jhMikeSprerecord would be out of the question unless you like constant flash writing to wear it out.

06:28:16Lloreann17ikh|Lappy: Yeah, I was referring to the PP502x family of players
06:28:27Alonean17ikh|Lappy: I know what the sansa is, I am confused because I was talking about gigabeat s and then he said sansa..
06:28:28LloreanLordOink: Then go find competent Zune owners and convince them to work on it
06:28:43mud-rbLordOink: the code signing for zune isn't broken yet i don't believe, so if you really want a port, you should probably look into that if you have the ability. that'd be the first step
06:28:44Mouser_XLordOink: To the best of my knowledge, they haven't even found an exploit in the Zune's OF to run custom code yet. In other words, there's a long way to go.
06:28:47n17ikh|Lappyor you could fund the rockbox project
06:28:51scorcheLordOink: http://www.zune-online.com/news/zune/rockbox-and-zune-walking-together.html is quite accurate
06:28:53Mouser_X^ I could be wrong though.
06:28:57LloreanAlonea: My point was that "being similar doesn't necessarily make a port more likely, as there's all those similar ones to an existing finished port that don't have ports"
06:29:02scorche"It's not possible to say for sure whether Rockbox is going to get ported to Zune or not. Of course there is no possibility to predict “when” either. There are some things though that have to get pointed out."
06:29:04n17ikh|Lappypay some hackers to buy zunes and code a rockbox port for them
06:29:21AloneaLlorean: sorry. its late and my head is killing me. not making a whole lot of sense and my concentration is shot.
06:29:27AloneaLlorean: ^__^
06:29:30LloreanAlonea: No worries, I was a little vague.
06:29:51n17ikh|Lappyand, since the zune is microsoft... there's a good chance they've gone out of their way to lock the hardware down
06:30:02LordOinkya

06:36:27LloreanI find it bizarre that the Zune (last I heard) does neither of these things
06:36:34mud-rbmaybe player to player sharing of data
06:36:49LloreanThen again, the Zune is, imho, the biggest missed opportunity Microsoft's done.
06:37:00LloreanBut that's off topic for here
06:37:52psycho_maniacis the gigabeat S encryped like the zune? is that why it is taking awhile for the gigabeat S?
06:38:18Mouser_XNo, that's not why.
06:38:26krazykitpsycho_maniac, no, code is being run on the S.
06:38:37Mouser_XThey already have code running on the S. They've figured out how to bypass the security of the S entirely.
06:38:59psycho_maniacso what is slowing the port? time
06:39:11Mouser_XNo. Difficulty.
06:39:56Mouser_XWell, to an extent time... There's lots of timing issues. As in, when booting, it seems that things need to be done in a very specific order, and at a specific time, for it to work.
06:40:08Mouser_X^ At least, that's how it sounds to me.

09:22:13amiconnThis ipod wheel acceleration is annoying :(
09:23:08amiconnI overshoot way more often than before
09:23:38amiconn...while the acceleration effect isn't really noticeable
09:23:38GodEater_better than carpal tunnel syndrome induced mega scrolling
09:23:54GodEater_how can you say it's not noticeable ?!?!?!
09:24:11amiconnOther than by the annoying overshoot I mean
09:24:52amiconnWith this code I need longer to get to a certain entry than before
09:25:26GodEater_I completely, thoroughly, and utterly disagree with that.
09:26:27*petur advises GodEater not to argue with amiconn - you lose ;)
09:26:28amiconnI have to scroll back & forth several times now in longer lists in order to get where I want
09:27:13amiconnWithout this acceleration, I did not need to do this, and hence it was easier & faster to operate
09:27:25GodEater_you must have really fat fingers...
09:27:30amiconnAnd I did not have to do 'mega scrolling' as you call it
09:27:43amiconnNot at all
09:28:40GodEater_which ipod is this on? Or is it all of them ?
09:28:44amiconnmini G2
09:28:51amiconn...and G5.5
09:29:04GodEater_I don't find it that hard at all
09:29:12amiconnMy others don't have acceleration, as it's only implemented for touch wheel
09:29:15GodEater_it's extremely accurate for me, and very much quicker than the old way
09:29:32LloreanIt definitely makes a large difference for me on my Nano.
09:29:47LloreanSlow scrolling is still precise, while fast scrolling gets me through a lot more entries a lot quicker.
09:29:48*amiconn should probably disable this annoying acceleration for his own builds
09:29:50GodEater_unless you lack dexterity, I can't imagine why it's so hard for you
09:30:05amiconnLlorean: The problem is now that you can't scroll fast *and* precise
09:30:43amiconnThe slowness required for accuracy is way below my usual scroll speed
09:30:47GodEater_you couldn't scroll fast AT ALL before
09:31:02amiconnWell, it was faster than what I can do now
09:31:33amiconnYou can scroll faster now if you want to get to the very beginning or end - but that's all
09:31:46Lloreanamiconn: Hm, I don't find it to be so with my Nano. The only time it gets "fast" is when I'm moving my finger a quite decent speed already, so for me at least there's no lost precision.
09:32:17GodEater_and we asked for feedback on the patch *a lot* before it was commited
09:32:26amiconnWith my usual finger speed, it's easy to overshoot ~2 lines even in the menus
09:33:05Lloreanamiconn: I suspect though that you never used the OF at all, right?
09:33:10amiconnnope
09:33:13LloreanI think part of the problem is developed use habits.
09:33:20amiconnI can't, since I'll never install itunes
09:33:32LloreanPeople who started with the OF are used to the fact that very slight finger movements are all that is necessary
09:33:49LloreanIf you get used to Rockbox's original responsiveness, you needed much larger relative movements
09:34:02*jhMikeS tuned e200 to avoid those little things and rockbox is more controllable than retailos
09:34:14amiconnGodEater: I know - and guess why I didn't test it? I had no problems with scroll speed before that patch
09:34:38amiconnI accepted that some users wanted it faster, but didn't expect it to become worse for me - but it did
09:34:42LloreanjhMikeS: I think Rockbox on iPod is more controllable than the retail OS, and I really do think Amiconn's issue, while kinda valid, is more a case of just being used to the old way, and happening to prefer it.
09:34:53GodEater_indeed
09:35:10LloreanBut the old way was really unusable for lists beyond about 50 entries long.
09:35:27LloreanSomething quite common for album lists, or even artist lists, on large storage devices.
09:35:32amiconnI used the old way for lists with 1000+ entries, although not often
09:35:57GodEater_ouch

09:36:29jhMikeSe200 was kept to have accel be delayed enough and not kick in right at some threshold because that's where accel would kick in just because of the math
09:36:36amiconnGodEater: It was okay, unlike using the menus now....
09:36:42GodEater_LinusN: that's a pretty big claim for it ;)
09:36:47LinusNi feel more in control with the acceleration than i did without
09:36:57LloreanLinusN: Same here
09:37:02GodEater_ditto
09:37:03jhMikeSof course the e200 wheel has slow mode
09:37:24LloreanWithout acceleration I felt like I was dragging the selection bar along behind me.
09:37:26jhMikeSwithout it, it was pretty nasty
09:37:32LloreanNow it feels like it's where I want it to be, when I do.
09:38:18LloreanIt also feels more consistent (to me). With the old way, if I moved my finger faster, it didn't really feel like I could move faster past a ceiling.
09:38:45LloreanNow at least it feels more responsive to changes in my finger movement speed.

13:34:32linuxstb(in PP, RAM is initially mapped to either 0x10000000 or 0x28000000 and Rockbox remaps it to 0x0)

13:44:17jhMikeSremapping on pp must be done from IRAM code anyway
13:44:26aliaskIs that PP specific?
13:44:42aliaskOr would I need to copy the bootloader to IRAM on the S as well?
13:45:20jhMikeSif you move the address and the old address is now invalid, probably
13:45:55jhMikeSPP just mirrors the ram during remap if it's not hidden by the remapping
13:46:11FebsI justed mentioned this on #rockbox-community, but it seems appropriate here: I sent jeanreno an e-mail letting him know that there are many admirers of his logo, that there is consideration for using it in the official Rockbox theme, but that we need permission to do so, and asking him to check out the forum thread regarding the default theme contest.
13:47:32DarkStylisti wonder if the xmplay devs would port xmplayer plugins to rockbox
13:47:42jhMikeSIn PP a small stub is copied to IRAM that does the remapping then execution continues in the remapped area or should. Thinking about that brings something to check to mind now. :)

13:56:47preglowit's happened some time during the last month

14:01:39jhMikeSOne thing that also needs to change is if the clip fills the pcm buffer and playback isn't running, the PCM buffer won't ever get started, so the clip won't play
14:01:41preglowapparently the main menu doesn't have the problem

14:53:06linuxstbFebs: Are you suggesting making jeanreno's logo at least semi-official? ;)
14:53:32 Part helligusvart
14:53:57FebsThere was interest in the "Default theme constest" forum thread in using it in a theme that is being considered as the default.
14:53:59preglowwhich logo is that?
14:54:47Febspreglow: the one shown in this image: http://forums.rockbox.org/index.php?action=dlattach;topic=10030.0;attach=2218;image
14:55:05preglowjhMikeS: i don't knows if "instant" stop is needed
14:55:36preglowi like that logo, but it breaks up even at that reso
14:55:41preglowit can barely be read
14:55:57preglowpretty decent wps, btw
14:55:58FebsI personally like that logo a lot, and I know many others do as well, but it's a moot point if we don't have permission to use it.
14:56:09preglowFebs: and that permission can't be gotten?

14:57:06Febspreglow: the text breaks up perhaps, but the graphic itself is very scalable, works in color or black and white, and is a nice combination of concepts (ie, can be interpreted either as an "R" or a quarter note).

14:57:12jhMikeSI don't think it quite portrays what it seems meant to
14:57:30preglowFebs: which are all moot if it's unusable at low resolutions
14:57:41preglowFebs: but i think that can be remedied anyway, but we'd need source files
14:57:56jhMikeSyou want an AI file of it?
14:58:07*amiconn thinks a default theme should *not* include album artz
14:58:09amiconn-z
14:58:11Febspreglow: agreed. It is more usable at low resolution than the existing logo in any event.
14:58:19amiconnAnd I still don't like that alternative logo...
14:58:24preglowamiconn: i think it should include possibility for it, but should be nice without it too
14:58:53linuxstbFebs: Yes, I quite like it too - the box works nicely as a icon as well.
14:58:56Febsamiconn: the discussion in that thread yesterday is that if album art is not present, the theme should work without having a big blank space where the album art would otherwise be.
14:59:13preglowwhat about just centering the text across that space?
14:59:18preglowahh, yes
14:59:23preglowthat's probably what you meant
14:59:27linuxstbThe downside is that Rockbox will search for cover bmps, but I still think the default theme should support album-art.
14:59:33preglowme too
14:59:36jhMikeSlet's turn WPS into a scripting language then :)
14:59:41Febspreglow: yeah, I could have articulated that better.
14:59:42preglowperl! :D
14:59:42amiconnThat theme looks somewhat decent, in that it's at least readable unlike many others, and doesn't waste lots of space for useless buttons
15:00
15:00:03amiconnThere are just the 2 points I dislike about it: (1) the wrong logo (2) album art
15:00:12preglowand the album art doesn't have to be there
15:00:18linuxstbamiconn: The logo has been changed now.
15:00:28preglowi don't see a reason for the logo to stay in the wps either
15:00:36preglowbut i guess it's ok

15:12:48preglowlinuxstb: and the remaining mallocs are seek table only, yes?
15:13:01jhMikeSthought it's really just an issue until the voice thread is ready to wait for message where it will always service the queue immediately
15:14:34linuxstbpreglow: I think Lear is looking at that (or at least, started to look at it). The problem is that the seektables are quite big (they contain information on every frame).

15:25:49jottthat's what i've got so far: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=enPZRQ9sttw ... i wonder if there is some information on how to integrate a custom album browser (my demo is static) as in getting album names and cover filenames from the db and play them?!
15:26:06jhMikeSmove the queue code from mp3_play_stop into that, then replace the queue_send in mp3_play_stop with queue_remove_from_head and queue_post
15:26:07preglowjhMikeS: oh right, so i only needed to chance mp3_play_stop() ?
15:26:21preglowriiight, ok
15:26:55jhMikeSvoice_stop is meant to guarantee immediate synchronous stop
15:27:06preglowjhMikeS: any reason queues don't have their own mutex?
15:27:42preglowi guess it's nice to be able to directly control when locking happens
15:27:56jhMikeSwhy would they need one? they would no matter what threading type and only need a spinlock on multcore
15:28:06jhMikeS*wouldn't
15:28:28jhMikeSqueues are thread safe, the mutex in voice is for another reason entirely
15:28:34jpt9I just got a replacement e250 from Woot...
15:28:41jpt9the wheel doesn't work quite right...
15:28:46jpt9anyway... in terms of rockbox...
15:28:53jpt9it says "Sansa not found".
15:29:00jpt9how do I tell if it's a v2?
15:29:08preglowjhMikeS: any reason voice_mutex is locked in mp3_play_stop, then? nothing else happens than mucking around witht the queue
15:29:41krazykitjpt9, is it in msc mode? to tell if it's v2, i believe you check the OF's version
15:29:41Tuplanollajpt9: turn it around and look at the lower right.
15:30:03jpt9it is in MSC mode..
15:30:09jpt9there's no "v2" on the back...
15:30:24jhMikeSbecause we could be doing something else and put a message in between when only message from the operation should be processed
15:30:29jpt9should I paste version.txt in here?
15:30:34krazykitjpt9, are you sure it's not a Rhapsody model?
15:30:38krazykitjpt9, no, don't paste in here
15:30:51jpt9it doesn't say "R" on the back...
15:30:58krazykitneither do many others
15:31:17krazykitwhen you turn on the player, it says "Rhapsody" and there are Rhapsody channels in the menu

15:32:37krazykitjpt9, i can't help any further as i have to leave, but we've at least determined you have a non-r and non-v2 model.
15:32:40preglowjhMikeS: voice_stop calls talk_force_shutup, which calls mp3_play_stop
15:32:56preglowjhMikeS: seems kind of redundant, voice_stop will already have told the voice thread to stop what it's doing
15:33:02preglowjhMikeS: but i guess it's needed for hwcodec
15:33:48jpt9is there any safe way to attempt a manual install?
15:35:39preglowjhMikeS: at least the queue_post in mp3_play_stop() seems to have helped
15:36:44jpt9i'm an idiot...
15:36:50jpt9i forgot to run rbutil as admin.
15:37:02jpt9i haven't discovered a new species of e250 :-)
15:38:13jhMikeSvoice_stop still needs the synchronous call, the asychronous one will be a noop for the voice thread

16:35:00jhMikeSthe dither should clip though, not wrap

16:35:32jhMikeSoh, you're talking pushing it passed the int32 range
16:35:41preglowoh yes
16:35:45preglowwouldn't be a problem otherwise
16:35:52jhMikeScheck the bounds before adding the corrections
16:35:55preglowi'm just wondering how crossfeed can add so much gain to a signal
16:36:17preglowjhMikeS: this really isn't a dithering problem, it's probably a crossfeed one
16:36:25preglowi think it adds too much bass boost thanks to the comb filtering
16:36:41preglowhrm, no, that really shouldn't be possible
16:36:51jhMikeSyou won't get combing there?
16:37:10preglowwell, in a way
16:37:40preglowlow freqency content is mostly correlated across channels, so the lower frequency range will be kind of comb filtered
16:38:10jhMikeSI'd think that would boost it since the phase would match better for any delay
16:38:41preglowcombing can be boosting, it depends on the frequency range you're talking about
16:38:58preglowcrossfeed adds one hell of a bass boost, though, i can hear that
16:39:17preglowbut a 6 time gain? i don't get it
16:39:53preglowthe track went from peak 1.7 to peak 7.9969...
16:40:04preglownormalized, that is, actual_peak/2^28 for mp3

17:06:15preglowunless the errors get really large, and that should never happen
17:06:55jhMikeSit should be highly unlikely in any case but not impossible
17:09:47preglowno, but it would be a bug
17:10:06*preglow misses floating point
17:12:28amiconnpreglow: Wouldn't the error values become quite large if clipping kicks in?
17:12:51amiconndither->error[0] is determined *after* clipping
17:13:42jhMikeSif clipping kicks in yeah, it would be exactly that
17:14:25preglowhmm
17:14:27preglowgood point
17:14:31preglowand this file does clip like a bitch
17:14:50preglowand really, noise shaping shouldn't care about clipping
17:14:52amiconnSo if it clips, the dither error feedback makes it clip even more....
17:14:52preglowit doesn't make sense
17:15:07preglowi think you just found the bug, yes
17:15:10jhMikeSI'm not seeing a problem with it in my simulation with keep saturation out of the picture
17:15:49amiconnIiuc lines 493..496 need to be put before clipping
17:15:54jhMikeSyou still need to protect against wrapping though
17:16:10jhMikeSif you clip, make the error 0?
17:16:44preglowyeah
17:16:47amiconnI'd dither first, then clip. Overflowing the headroom should be impossible afaiu - unless there's a bug like this

18:13:25VairMy problem is with a 4gb iPod Mini 2g
18:13:50VairIt has a broken LCD
18:13:58Vairwhich is making things a bit vague
18:14:01preglowjhMikeS: would be pretty cool to add to targets than can stand it, wouldn't it?
18:14:11Vairbut, basically, I installed rockbox on it yesterday
18:14:22preglowjhMikeS: coldfire + emac would even be able to do it with circular buffer emac stuff
18:14:29preglow= fast
18:14:45Vairand after disconnecting it, the backlight stays on and the computer doesn't see it when it's connected now
18:15:30*jhMikeS wants to read about the mimimally-audible fir filter
18:15:34preglowjhMikeS: looks like our fir filter has taps 1, -0.5, 0.5

18:15:59 Quit animeloe (Client Quit)
18:16:31jhMikeSthought it had five

18:17:40preglowjhMikeS: well, it clearly has three taps :)
18:17:43preglowtalking our filter, here

18:18:46VairThe busted LCD really isn't helping
18:19:09mud-rbVair: well, if you can get it connect up, you could always use the rockbox interface designed for blind people i suppose
18:19:24Vairbut resetting by holding down select/menu doesn't power off the backlight as I would assume
18:20:03mud-rbVair: are you sure it's actually resetting? i know on my father's ipod it's sometimes really hard to get the buttons pressed correctly and for long enough without touching other buttons
18:20:42preglowjhMikeS: paper is called "Minimally Audible Noise Shaping"
18:20:48jhMikeSisn't it 1, -.5, 1?
18:21:08VairI don't think anything's happening at all... from what I understand, the backlight is supposed to be toggle-able by holding down the menu button for 2 secs but nothing's happening there.
18:21:59VairIs the spoken interface supposed to kick in by default? I'm not getting anything out of the headphones but then there's also no music loaded on it.
18:22:10mud-rbhmm, that i don't know anything about. you mean in the original firmware it does that? i'm pretty sure rockbox doesn't do that unless it's a feature only used on certain players

18:24:29linuxstbVair: Then yes, Rockbox should speak by default, assuming you've installed everything correctly.
18:24:53preglowjhMikeS: besides, 1, -0.5, 1 is a notch filter

18:29:42preglowjhMikeS: well, ask and i might clear it up :)
18:30:01jhMikeSummm...what's the difference between taps and coefficients
18:30:49VairI've tried the MENU+SELECT combo (just been trying it again now) but really nothing's happening. Not having any LCD it's hard to know exactly what's going on there. The only indication I have is that the backlight is still stuck on and I'm not hearing anything out of the headphones - not even a faint click.
18:30:50jhMikeSI suppose I'm clear on coefficients
18:31:16preglowjhMikeS: a tap is either one delayed output or input
18:31:20VairIt's quite possible that there's a hardware problem (this is a toilet dropped ipod)
18:31:36preglowjhMikeS: well, input or output value at all, really, error[0..2] each constitute a tap
18:31:36Vairbut, apart from the screen, it was working yesterday before the RB install
18:31:56preglowjhMikeS: coefficients are just what you multiply tapped inputs/outputs by
18:32:04jhMikeSso if you have coeffs 1,.5,.5, the taps are 1,.5,.25?
18:32:30preglowno, the taps are whatever value the input/output has at that point in time, the coeffs are still 1, .5, .5
18:33:19preglowjhMikeS: our noise shaper really just uses a trick to not have to do one multiply, doing that would not work at all if the last two taps didn't have the same coef
18:34:22preglowthe usual way of doing this is sample += dither->error[0] - 0.5*dither->error[1] + 0.5*dither->error[2] \n dither->error[2] = dither->error[1]; \n dither->error[1] = dither->error[0];
18:34:54jhMikeSI figure that much already
18:35:08preglowand that's the way we'll do it if we use the new fir filter, but we'll try to eliminate all the filter memory reordering by using a circular buffer
18:35:11jhMikeSjust scaling it
18:35:26preglowat least for emac

18:42:33preglowlinuxstb: myeah, but i expect ogg to allow me to do that easily
18:42:44preglowlinuxstb: like contain a pointer to the end of the file, or something
18:42:46linuxstbVair: You need to enter disk mode - either MENU+SELECT followed by SELECT+PLAY (to enter the emergency disk mode), or MENU+SELECT followed by turning the hold switch on to start the original firmware.
18:43:06linuxstbpreglow: IIUC, chained oggs are simply "cat file1.ogg file2.ogg file3.ogg > chained.ogg"
18:43:09VairYeah, I let it discharge overnight (well I had no choice really) but that didn't help ;)
18:43:11preglowlinuxstb: correct
18:43:16VairI'll try that again linuxstb
18:43:31preglowi guess i should familiarize myself with ogg to see how it works
18:43:48linuxstbpreglow: I'm pretty sure this has been discussed in the past and rejected.
18:44:59preglowlinuxstb: probably
18:45:01linuxstbpreglow: If I remember correctly, there's no pointer to the end of the file - to work out the duration, you need to seek to the end, then seek back to find the last packet, and use the timestamp in that to work out the duration.

18:46:22VairYep. If I disconnect the battery, and reconnect it though, won't it boot back with the bootloader?

18:56:37VairSlasheri: I've been trying that a lot but nothing doing yet. In case you missed the start ^ the LCD is busted on this iPod so it's hard to know what's happening but since I installed RB and disconnected, the backlight has stayed stuck on as long as the unit has had power. When I try to reset it the backlight stays on, which makes me think that it's not resetting. On the offchance that it is resetting and not affect

18:58:46VairIt's possible that something in the ipod is damaged, preventing it from resetting manually. Alternatively, I can only imagine that something in the RB install is preventing it from resetting. Or that it is resetting and I just have no way of knowing...
18:59:33n1sVair: is it connected to usb/power?
18:59:52VairI installed the voice files via the rbutil but I haven't heard so much as a faint click out of it yet so, if I'm supposed to be hearing anything, RB is definitely not working

20:00:37Learpreglow: You mean chained (concatenated), or something fancier?
20:00:44preglowLear: that
20:01:45Learpreglow: Well, you need to seek through the file, looking for different serial numbers. Not too difficult to do... I may even have some Rockbox-suitable code for it.
20:03:51preglowLear: for such a seldomly used feature, it'd have to not do more than max two seeks to discover if a file is chained to be acceptable
20:04:03preglowLear: and as far as i can see, that's not possible
20:04:52Learpreglow: Ah, well, that's not possible, true. But even if that was possible, do you have fixes for the codec issues related to chaining? :)
20:05:32preglowLear: what'd those be?
20:07:54Learpreglow: ogg mallocs intermixed with vorbis mallocs. When switching streams, I'm pretty sure you need to free all vorbis mallocs, but there's been some ogg mallocs too. At least if without changing vorbisfile or some more "stream hacking" in the codec...
20:08:37 Quit n1s ()
20:09:09preglowLear: removing those mallocs are exactly what i'm working on
20:09:35LearAh.
20:10:25preglowLear: so, really, to find out if an .ogg file is chained, you need to binary search around in it and try to discover a bitstream serial different from the one used at the start of the file?
20:11:18amiconnpreglow: Btw, why would an audio file clip after an mp3 encode/decode cycle?
20:11:51LearYes, detecting if it is chained at all is pretty easy, and the metadata parser already does that today. To know how many streams there are, and to get seek points for them (which Tremor needs, to support seeking), you need lots of seeks...
20:12:21preglowamiconn: because the discarding of information mp3 does pretty much means the waveform can look pretty wild after encoding, a file not clipping before encoding does not mean it won't clip after encoding

20:14:19amiconnHmm. Does quantisation cause some coefficients to become larger, or what?
20:14:39amiconnAlso, does that only apply to mp3, or also to other lossy codecs? (mp2, vorbis, ...)
20:14:41linuxstbLear: But then how do you know how many tracks there are?
20:14:50preglowamiconn: it causes some to become larger, smaller, or zero
20:15:06preglowLear: how do you find the last page? just read a huge chunk and look for sync?
20:15:10Learlinuxstb: Well, then you need (a lot) more seeks.
20:15:27Learpreglow: metadata/ogg.c already does that. Search for last_serial.
20:16:24Learpreglow: That's pretty much what it does. It reads the last 64 kB (as that's how large a page can be) and looks for sync.

20:18:54preglowLlorean: you can calculate how large a page is, but you don't know how large a stream/song is until you've walked all of them
20:19:15LloreanAlright then, thanks

20:19:28amiconnOh, and probably lossy wavpack?
20:19:30preglowmarkun: it's completely fseek() dependent
20:19:32LearIt isn't as bad as a full walk. First a rough guess, then binary search to the right position.
20:19:36preglowamiconn: lossy wavpack is a waveform coder, yes
20:20:16markunLear: will you know it if you end up in a chained file after the rough guess?
20:20:45preglowamiconn: the only subband codecs i see in rockbox are mpeg and musepack (and speex, for some modes), both of which use the same technique
20:21:27preglowac3, aac, mpeg, vorbis and wma are transform codecs
20:21:29Learmarkun: Tremor (the decoder library) needs to know the end of each stream, to avoid that problem.
20:21:36preglowthe rest are waveform coders or predictive coders

20:24:27preglowamiconn: none that i know if, it's not a practical approach
20:26:06preglowamiconn: most lossless codecs work by predicting how the output will look, then subtracting the original from the reconstructed to yield a residual (as small as possible), then code that along with the prediction parameters so the decoder can reconstruct perfectly

20:35:12LloreanOther than seeking to the next chained ogg, and the various UI elements associated with multitracks, why is it needed to know there's a second stream in the file in advance of getting to it?
20:35:42preglowwhat we already do, as lear explained
20:36:03preglowseek to the end of the file, find the last page header, and see if the serial is different from what it is at the start of the file
20:36:19LloreanOkay then, "why is it needed to know how many streams, and where they are"?
20:36:36preglowwe already do that, though i don't know why. probably just to tell tremor where it should start ignoring the rest
20:37:47LearTo support seeking.
20:40:33linuxstbEven basic seeking needs to know the total length (in seconds) of the file - which you don't know with chained oggs unless you identify all the independent files.

20:56:30amiconnSH, coldfire, and arm
20:57:16amiconnAll 3 are 32bit. SH and coldfire are big endian. Arm can be either endian, but all our targets use little endian
20:57:51mud-rbah, thanks. that's probably mostly all i need to know actually
20:58:03amiconnSH and arm require alignment, and will throw an exception on misaligned data. Coldfire does not require it, but it's recommended for speed

21:05:46mud-rbyeah, they seem to be in firmware/export/system.h. i honestly hope that i don't have to deal with them, because i hate endianness, but i think i'll probably have to
21:06:20linuxstb_You normally only have to worry if you're reading/writing binary files.
21:06:53Domonokypreglow: about the Qstring, i think it was .toAscii()
21:07:06Domonokyor .toLatin1() ?
21:07:16mud-rbyeah, i can usually tell when i need to, they just make my brain hurt when i'm trying to deal with algorithms

21:12:41DarkStylistwhy do people have to compile new builds just to get a codec working?
21:13:01linuxstb_Because codecs aren't independent to Rockbox.
21:13:15preglowlinuxstb_: i think i'll restructure rbpspeexenc into a small lib and factor out all file io into the calling app

21:15:50DarkStylistjust curious
21:16:01ZagorDarkStylist: a patch is a list of changes to the source code
21:16:31DarkStylistoh
21:18:40linuxstbDarkStylist: Codecs are normally officially added to Rockbox as soon as they are functional. MOD is a special case, as the way Rockbox is designed doesn't make MOD playback easy - so the codec doesn't work well enough to add it to the official builds yet.
21:18:41amiconnmud-rb: Ah, of course. The sim can also be run on big-enidan machines (e.g. PPC-based Macs)
21:20:06linuxstbIs the license issue with the MOD codec resolved, or are we still trying to identify the source?
21:20:35amiconnAfaik it's still unsolved
21:20:49mud-rbamiconn: oh, that kind of answers another question i forgot to ask. the sim doesn't simulate the endianness of the target it's simulating then, correct?
21:21:16mud-rbi guess that would be pretty insane, it must not
21:22:22linuxstbCorrect - the sim is just a native PC application.

21:39:23preglowif not, i'll fix it now
21:39:30Nico_Pamiconn: early playlist index incrementation is more a known issue than a bug, but you surely know that. and it's not new to MoB
21:40:15amiconnAfaik that effect was reintroduced with MoB, after being fixed quite a while ago in the old engine
21:40:20Nico_Pthe fix lies in playlist.c
21:40:50Nico_PI think I remember testing a pre-MoB build (just before it), and it had that bug
21:41:22amiconnpreglow: In fact it seems to be a hdd dependent effect. Recorder also shows it (and player, although only slightly)
21:42:48markunpreglow: I probably forgot to move it. In which file is it now?
21:43:17markunpreglow: would be great is id3 parsing was in apps/metadata/ as well

21:43:54preglowaaaargh, dircache glitches badly here now too
21:43:58preglowdisables itself all the time

22:10:00Slasherihmm, indeed. did you check the logf?
22:10:00preglowSlasheri: and i don't see how file system damage can have any effect once dircache has actually completed its scan and started working

23:19:47mycaelcan whoever answered before re-answer
23:19:50Domonokymycael: restart rbutil, and use the install buttons on the second tab of rutil..
23:19:50DerPapst[23:21] <Domonoky> mycael: restart rbutil, and use the install buttons on the second tab... :-)
23:19:56DerPapstmeh...
23:20:01*DerPapst too slow as always
23:20:08mycaelunder extras
23:20:09mycael?
23:20:15Domonokythe complete install seems to be still buggy..
23:20:35Domonokyno, the install tab, not the buttons on te Quickstart tab..
23:20:42mycaelwhat am I installing
23:20:57Domonokybootloader, and rockbox... then extras..
23:21:09mycaelsame errors
23:21:49Domonokythen go in the configuration dialog and check if your device is correctly set...
23:22:09Domonokyif nothing helps, you can still use the manual install method :-)
23:22:39mycaelwhere is configuration dialog
23:23:28Domonokyin rbutil, at the top left, in the dropdown menu...
23:24:23mycaelthere is only four about, quit hide hide others
23:25:22Domonokymycael: you are useing a screenreader ??
23:25:31mycaelwhat is that?
23:25:47mycaelso no
23:26:03Domonokya tool for blind users, and rbutil doesnt work good with this.. :-)
23:26:22mycaelno i'm on Mac 10.5
23:26:59Domonokyah, then its perhaps somewhere else... its the "File" menu..

23:27:47bughunter2hey, lil question: Rockbox works actually on SanDisks i have read :)
23:28:01bughunter2on series e200 it should work too, the wiki stated. but also on e280 that is i think?
23:28:06mycaeljust set proxy install utility nthing about configyraton
23:28:22DerPapstbughunter2: works on e280 as well
23:28:27bughunter2whoa
23:28:30bughunter2thatd be sweet
23:28:30DerPapste200 is just the series ;)
23:28:30mud-rbe200 is a series of players that are almost identical. it works on all of them except the "v2" ones
23:28:33bughunter2yeah
23:28:37bughunter2hint: change it to e2xx
23:28:40bughunter2:)
23:28:43DerPapste2X0 :P
23:28:46bughunter2haha
23:28:48bughunter2true that
23:29:01bughunter2man, i had iriver for a few years, every year the battery had to be replaced
23:29:09 Quit mycael ()
23:29:15Domonokymycael: how old is your copy of rbutil ?
23:29:33bughunter2and now warranty is gone =( i'm not making the mistake again of buying such an expensive player without at least 2 or 3 years of warranty
23:29:49bughunter2besides, their support was really bad, i once got my player back from them, still broken >__>

23:30:13bughunter2could you guys tell me if SanDisk E280 would be worth a shot ? :)
23:30:38mud-rbyes, it works quite well with rockbox
23:30:44bughunter2oh great
23:30:55bughunter2by the way, do i really need WMP10 for SanDisk E280 ?
23:31:03bughunter2without rockbox that is..
23:31:11DerPapstyou need nothing
23:31:16bughunter2even without rockbox?
23:31:24DerPapstjust copy your files on it and you're done
23:31:32bughunter2yes, but would that work without rockbox on it too?
23:31:36bughunter2i mean, no iTunes-like clone?
23:31:43Lloreanbughunter2: This is #Rockbox, so questions about how to use the original firmware aren't really appropriate here.
23:31:51bughunter2true, just wondering if you guys would know
23:32:23advcomp2019bughunter2, yea.. drag and drop.. you can got to #rockbox-community to talk offtopic
23:32:33bughunter2oh thank you

23:34:23bughunter2hgaha
23:34:31bughunter2thanks for the help man, i'll try to see if i can do something good for the rockbox community!
23:34:46preglowthey get a jolt of 500 volts each time an update happens, with a promise of more if they're not done within seven minutes
23:34:52bughunter2=P
23:34:59preglowwell, you could join our slave netword :D
23:35:02preglownetwork too
23:35:14bughunter2well, seriously? :D
23:35:22preglowsure, if you enjoy electricity
23:35:42bughunter2well, do i need to be a low-level coder to code stuff for rockbox?
23:35:48bughunter2if you need any help with coding that is
23:35:52bughunter2what else could be done
23:35:53Bagderbughunter2: http://www.rockbox.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/BuildServer
23:36:06preglowwe don't _need_ any help coding, but we alway appreciate new contributors
23:36:21preglowand you don't need to be an experienced coder at all, but it all depends on what areas of rockbox you want to hack on, of course
23:36:22bughunter2okay, what else could be done? :)
23:36:29bughunter2well true that
23:36:49mud-rbworking on plugins is probably the easiest way to start i think
23:36:52preglowcoding rockbox is different than coding apps for your pc, but not any more than can be learnt in a day
23:36:58bughunter2i did low-level assembly for almost one year and did some reverse engineering, but i learned C about 1,5 years ago
23:37:03bughunter2i'm now busy with C++ too
23:37:08preglowwell, we do asm and c
23:37:20preglowmostly c, though, not many of us touch the asm
23:37:30bughunter2okay
23:38:01bughunter2what kind of plugin needs/wants help or maybe a new plugin is requested?
23:38:20Bagderbughunter2: check out the bug and feature request trackers
23:38:26Bagderthey're pretty well packed with ideas
23:38:30preglowlinuxstb: really, removing mallocs from the ogg handling shouldn't be too hard, a pity different code is used for different codecs
23:38:34preglowprimarily vorbis/speex
23:39:44 Quit nanok (Remote closed the connection)
23:39:47bughunter2thought rockbox didn't provide malloc?
23:39:56preglowbughunter2: it doesn't, but we simulate it for some codecs
23:40:03bughunter2cool
23:40:06advcomp2019bughunter2, you could even look at helping port a player that is in the new ports in the forums
23:40:17preglowbughunter2: seeing as how most of the codec code is from other projects, we add a simple malloc for codecs, but with the goal being removing them
23:40:24preglowa goal we're not far away from now, so i'm looking into it
23:40:33bughunter2sounds good
23:40:38bughunter2i might take a look at porting
23:40:54bughunter2however i'm not anymore that much into reversing so i'm not the one to crack new firmware encryptions lol
23:41:11bughunter2more sure, i want to help :)
23:41:13bughunter2but*
23:41:17Bagderchicken! ;-)
23:41:22bughunter2haha
23:41:23preglownot many of us bend that way, heh
23:41:28preglowmostly just swedes and crazy people
23:41:34bughunter2i'm from the Netherlands
23:41:43pregloware you crazy?
23:41:56preglowif you are, you can still can crack encryptions!
23:42:00bughunter2well sometimes
23:42:17bughunter2but the advantage is, i don't need alcohol for it :D
23:42:33preglowahh, alcohol, thanks for the reminder

23:47:25bughunter2well, i'm not much of a driver programmer either tbh

23:47:44bughunter2is there anything else that can be done besides writing bootloaders / new drivers

23:48:19bughunter2that doesn't seem like a bad idea :)
23:48:19preglowbughunter2: really, just try it out, look around the source, see if something catches your fancy
23:48:26bughunter2will do preglow
23:48:38bughunter2i'll checkout the bug reports too

23:49:57LloreanCan anyone think of a reason why adding a "Flash Disk" option under "Advanced" for disk-based builds would be a bad idea?
23:49:57Zagormeh, c200 bootloader won't start if battery is low. it just displays a battery icon and shuts down. :-(
23:50:14preglowLlorean: i don't even get what it does

23:50:43Lloreanpreglow: Replacing the disk with CF in, for example, an iPod Mini causes sleep issues much like the Nano used to have when it tried to spin down.
23:50:47 Part bughunter2
23:50:48bertrikI'd like to help too, I won't mind cleaning up some #ifdefs
23:51:08preglowLlorean: well, can't we detect a flash based disk instead?
23:51:13LloreanHonestly, I don't know.
23:51:30preglowthat'd be the way to go, try to check out the ata params of cf instead of hd
23:51:35LloreanThat would be a better solution than a build-time option, in my opinion.
23:51:37Zagorsurely a "flash harddisk" won't barf if you send spindown to it
23:51:40preglowa spinup time of 0, for example, would be a dead giveaway
23:51:52LloreanZagor: A compact flash card in an adapter apparently does.

23:52:52Zagoryeah that's what I was thinking

23:54:08Zagordo we know anyone who can try this for us? I'd bet the IDENTIFY block contains enough information to tell it's a flash
23:54:14Klevilol..
23:54:37Klevican it be that much different than the first..?
23:54:39preglowKlevi: we don't sit here planning a port, someone who wants to do it has to appear and do the work
