00:01:16Nico_Phave you set up a phone meeting time?
00:01:21amiconnNext one, as I think we should do it on all targets. The G5/G5.5 30GB vs. 60/80GB isn't the only target with variable ram size, there are also H120 vs. H100, and even stock vs. 8MB-modded archoses
00:01:42 Quit davina (Remote closed the connection)
00:02:00preglowamiconn: h120/h100 has other changes too, right?
00:02:04amiconnOn archos, there is no bootloader, we use the archos loader. Telling it to load rockbox at an offset might be tricky, or even impossible....
00:02:07preglowamiconn: would be cool having them as one binary, though
00:02:17amiconnpreglow: The only other difference is the spdif enable polarity
00:02:26preglowamiconn: well, that makes it clear, then, binary should relocate itself. doesn't sound too hard to me

00:02:51Zagorhere is some information around why linux kernel modules must be GPL-compatible: http://linuxmafia.com/faq/Kernel/proprietary-kernel-modules.html
00:02:57amiconnNo, but relocating the major part of the binary increases boot time
00:03:08preglowamiconn: should be negligible

00:03:24amiconnZagor: I don't want to know why kernel modules need to be gpl compatible, but why applications don't
00:03:38Zagoramiconn: because applications aren't linked to linux
00:03:43amiconnThey still interact with the os in the end, because without the os, they could not be run
00:03:52Zagorinteraction is not derivation
00:04:23LloreanAlright, I should be speaking with him sometime between 1:30 and 2:00 PST tomorrow
00:05:19preglowLlorean: extremely cool, looking forward to hearing about it
00:06:04Zagoramiconn: also the parts that applications link (libc for example) is LGPL and not GPL
00:06:16mud-rbthere's some info in the GPL FAQ here that's sort of related: http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-faq.html#MereAggregation basically GNU seems to think it depends on what form the interaction between modules takes
00:06:46Lloreanpreglow: I certainly hope he at least has some ideas we haven't explored. :)

00:14:02webguest29Hi, I've been using rockbox on a Toshiba Gigabeat F40 for a couple months, but the thing has been acting funny lately, freezing, lagging etc. I want to wipe the drive clean and start over, is there a special way to do this?
00:15:22markunwebguest29: completely replace .rockbox and GBSYSTE/FWIMG/FWIMG02.DAT
00:15:37markunother things shouldn't matter

00:19:01Zagorken: after sleep?
00:19:02markunwebguest29: but FWIMG02.DAT is not included in that zip file, so you need to download it separately

00:21:52kenzagor: how do I get that?
00:22:25Zagorken: you need to modify the code a bit. can you program a little?
00:22:34magenpiehi people...i'm sure this question has been asked a lot...but i just got a new sansa e280 from Dell 1/2hr ago and it's v2
00:22:43magenpiei'm so bummed
00:23:09kenzagor: sure (I'm a software engineer)
00:23:09magenpieis there any hope for me to have rockbox at some point in 2008? lol
00:23:22magenpiei'm really tempted to send it back
00:23:24krazykitmagenpie, then you're currently out of luck. there is some work being done, but there is NO timeline
00:23:41magenpiety for quick reply
00:23:43 Quit linuxstb (Read error: 110 (Connection timed out))
00:24:14magenpiei had done a little research and felt pretty confident that i would be getting v1
00:24:46Zagorken: ok good. write a small function that creates a file and writes the ata.c:identify_info buffer to it.
00:24:57markunmagenpie: it might happen soon, it might not. Hard to predict right now.
00:24:59magenpieit might be difficult for any online seller to be able to tell me which version i would be getting
00:25:26krazykitmagenpie, refurbs and ebay would give you the best bets, most likely
00:25:45Zagorken: you can call it for example in apps/main.c:app_main() just after init()
00:26:00kenZagor: I guess I just don't know where the identify_info is located. I'm not that familar with the CF hardware.
00:26:29Zagorken: it's a buffer in the ata driver. it's already read out from the disk by rockbox. you simply have to save the variable content.
00:27:02Zagorata driver: firmware/drivers/ata.c
00:27:15kenzagor: Do you know the variable name, or what I can search for in the file.
00:27:40Zagorstatic unsigned short identify_info[SECTOR_SIZE];
00:28:06 Quit mud-rb_ (Connection timed out)
00:29:18kenzagor: sounds like the mbr/partition table. I can read that by connecting the player to my computer and dd'ing the raw device to a file.
00:30:55Zagorno, that's not it. the buffer is the response to the IDENTIFY ata command. it contains lots of technical information about the disk and it's capabilities.
00:33:17kenzagor: ok, that makes sense. I'll look through the ata.c file later and figure out how to capture that and write it to a file. Maybe I can add that to the debug menu, or just do it the first time the main menu is displayed.
00:34:25Zagorken: since it's a one-time thing I'd call it in app_main() in apps/main.c, just after init(). then boot it once and you're done.
00:35:10kenzagor: actually I wonder if that is somehow available from the usb storage driver such that hacking fdisk would expose it?
00:35:36Zagoralso it's not something you need to capture. just fd=open("identify.txt"); write(fd,identify_info,512); close(fd)
00:35:53amiconnHaha, .txt
00:36:11Zagorheh, too fast fingers :)

00:36:36amiconn.bin would be appropriate. But still, it's an easy thing to do
00:36:45Zagorken: yes, but usb storage is scsi so it translates that block into a scsi INQUIRY response first. the raw buffer would be better.
00:37:16amiconnZagor: Regarding the hen-and-egg problem of a gdb stub - we do have a gdb stub for SH (which I even used a bit quite some time ago)
00:37:23 Quit karashata (" HydraIRC -> http://www.hydrairc.com <- Would you like to know more?")
00:37:34Zagoramiconn: yes I know. the hen-and-egg problem was regarding gdb over usb
00:37:48kenzagor: yeah standard file creation calls. looks like rockbox io calls are similar to 'nix in syntax. That's good, standard C. Yeah, I forgot about the scsi layer in there.
00:38:23amiconnWith that, the stub has to be loaded first, which can be done either via the serial rom monitor, or by booting it like a normal firmware
00:38:28 Join karashata [0] (n=Kimi@207.61.208.119)
00:38:44amiconnThe latter would also work for usb if I am not missing something
00:39:48amiconnSo there is in fact no hen-and-egg problem
00:40:28amiconnThe stub is booted like you'd normally boot rockbox, then connected to gdb via serial-over-usb. Gdb would then transfer the main binary, and start it
00:40:31kenzagor: is that your rockbox user id? I won't get to hacking the thing tonight, but I can post the dump to the forum or send you a message on rockbox.

00:50:03ShaidI just don't remember it right now.
00:50:31Lloreanpixelma: I want to see it on the c200, with tiny, tiny cover art images.
00:50:55Nico_PI hope he added the buggering API to the plugin API to load the AA :)
00:51:09Nico_Por buffering... :p
00:51:23LloreanIt probably uses compiled in images at the moment.
00:51:24scorche|wbuggering works too =P
00:51:56LloreanI'd do the algorithm first, then worry about actually making it use album art. :)
00:52:07pixelmaLlorean: album art looks kinda decorative in 40x40 (I tried) but you would need to know the cover very well - only in rare case you can read album title or artist :)
00:52:09Nico_Pindeed
00:52:17LloreanNico_P: Could album art be stored in, and retreived from, the database?
00:52:25Llorean"Coverflow" if it happens, could be a database only feature.
00:52:26Nico_PLlorean: no
00:52:30LloreanWhy not?
00:52:59Nico_Poops I misunderstood, sorry. maybe it could, but it would make the database much larger
00:53:23LloreanYes, I'm sure
00:53:35LloreanBut we could just index the filenames perhaps
00:53:37Nico_Pstoring paths to AA could work though
00:53:55LloreanExactly
00:54:02 Quit spiorf (Remote closed the connection)
00:54:25LloreanFor coverflow to work, you'd need a list of albums, and a list of cover bitmaps associated with each of those albums, which pretty much requires either the database, or coverflow to generate its own database (or scan on every run, ick)

01:34:04Nico_Pamiconn: what's the problem with it? it runs as a plugin and pleases some people
01:34:26amiconnI mean in general...
01:34:45Nico_Pah... people like eye candy :)
01:35:28amiconnApart from that, I am curious how this plugin manages memory in order to not stop playback and at the same time not eat the battery by spinning the disk all the time
01:35:57Lloreanamiconn: I'm still betting that the plugin in the video just has the images either compiled in, or loaded into a static buffer at startup.
01:36:24Nico_Pamiconn: we could imagine it using the AA bitmaps loaded for the current tracks :)
01:36:30preglowwhat the hell
01:36:35*preglow sees pictureflow
01:36:39LloreanA demonstration of the algorithm rather than of it actually working.
01:36:48*amiconn likes stability, usability, efficiency, and functionality, roughly in that order
01:37:05amiconnEyecandy comes at the low low end
01:37:19preglowlooks really nice, it does
01:37:38LloreanWell the math for it ought to be pretty simple.
01:37:55amiconnAnd I bet I can select an album a 100 times faster from a list than from those album thumbnails

01:41:59preglowbut i can't be bothered to resize all of it
01:42:11Nico_Ppreglow: it's easy as pie with a little script
01:42:42preglowpixelma: well, i've picked up several cds after liking their cover and listening to them because of that, the same applies here if you don't know what music you have :)
01:42:42amiconnThat's one problem with current daps... instead of increasing capacity, they become loaded with hundreds of nearly-useless to completely useless additional features
01:42:43Nico_Pthe AA wiki page even has examples
01:42:58LloreanHas anyone used the Coverflow feature on an actual apple device? Does it then let you pick tracks? Can you queue an album? Or is it just a method for playing whole "discs"
01:43:03Mouser_Xamiconn: My thoughts are pretty close to yours, in regards to stuff. However, "looking pretty" is probably higher on my scale than yours. The stuff you listed is certainly among the first though.
01:43:08*amiconn would *love* to see rockbox ported to the ipod classic - above all for the storage capacity
01:43:18*preglow too
01:43:20Nico_Pamiconn: it's easier and cheaper to write useless features than to increase the storage capacity
01:43:38amiconnWell apple actually does both
01:43:47PaulJamMouser_X: and how much additional space did you get? my covers only take 10MB of disk space.
01:44:11amiconnThey have (afaik) the largest capacity hdd based dap, as well as the largest capacity flash based dap (although with a crappy touch interface)
01:44:25Nico_Pyeah apple on the classic would be sweet. we can hope those HDD will spread though
01:44:56amiconnNico_P: The 160GB hdd from the classic doesn't fit any of our targets
01:45:00Mouser_XPaulJam: No idea, but I figure, if I'm not using it, why waste the space? Not only that, but I have tons of small file types. With 10 MB, I can easily fit 1-7 days worth of music.
01:45:05amiconnIt's CE-ATA
01:45:41preglowhcs: and all of that metadata is handled in metadata/spc.c?
01:45:58Nico_Pah
01:46:11hcspreglow: yes. nsf/nsfe is going to need some work in that regard, though
01:46:26preglowhcs: yep
01:46:28Nico_Pamiconn: couldn't the manufacturers build 160 GB disks that use other interfaces?
01:46:52amiconnOf course they could - the question is whether they'll do, and I bet they won't
01:47:03amiconnSeeing what happened on the 2.5" front...
01:47:20hcspreglow: I figured I should fix what's dead simple now rather than waiting for time to do the other right
01:47:31amiconn...there will soon be 300GB 2.5" hdds, but all new ones are SATA, PATA stopped at 160GB ...
01:47:50preglowhcs: remember to close the bug report, then
01:48:06preglowunless you already did, i can't remember

02:07:15safetydanClint: yup. Only so much space is allocated to storing metadata. If we allow too much space for metadata, then we waste memory.
02:07:55Clintsafetydan: what about discarding the tags i don't care about?
02:08:17 Quit barrywardell ()
02:08:32safetydanalready done as far as I can see. Rockbox only stores the tags it uses.
02:08:59Clintso the issue I'm having involves ARTIST/ALBUM/TITLE not being picked up unless they're early on in the comment block

02:09:25safetydanah that
02:09:45Clintdifferent issue?
02:10:59safetydanYes. I thought you were talking about per comment limits, not total comment block size limits.
02:11:27safetydanIt's a similar issue though. There's only so much space to read metadata in to memory. So if your tag is outside that size then it won't be read in.
02:12:19safetydanat the moment, all metadata for a track must fit inside 300 bytes otherwise it will be truncated
02:15:03Lloreansafetydan: But this wouldn't affect if you had less than 300 bytes, but it was late in the track, right?
02:15:12*Llorean wonders why we have the 300 byte limit now.
02:15:28LloreanEr, late in the block
02:16:14Clintmy vorbiscomments are frequently several K, and artist/album/title are not always in the first 300 bytes
02:16:57safetydanLlorean: if your metadata is less than 300 bytes you're all good. The limit could probably go away with mob, but might require some refactoring because of hwcodec
02:17:30Clintwhat's mob?
02:17:37safetydanmetadata on buffer
02:17:57safetydanshould help with removing limits like the one you're encountering
02:18:01Lloreansafetydan: Ah, yes, hwcodec.
02:18:07Clintis this a subproject?
02:18:29LloreanClint: As Dan said, as long as the portion of the comment block that's actually "used" is less than 300 bytes, you should be fine, from the sound of it.
02:18:34safetydanno it's a change made to how rockbox loads files and something that's already been done

02:19:17ClintLlorean: that's not the case in practice, and I hardly want to rewrite all my tags just for rockbox
02:19:23safetydanLlorean: everything in Vorbis metadata is a comment. So the entire set of comments must be less than 300 bytes if I'm reading things correctly.
02:19:57safetydanactually...
02:20:13LloreanClint: Then don't. Submit a patch to fix the problem.

02:21:21safetydanah, this seems to be a different problem
02:22:05safetydanI think what's going on is that the metadata block for Clint's files spans multiple ogg packets

02:27:54safetydanClint: I'd say yes but I don't know if that's a requirement of the Ogg stream. Either way, Rockbox isn't handling comment blocks that span multiple packets.

05:29:38LloreanMouser_X: Nah
05:29:46Mouser_XAh, that's nice to know.
05:29:49Lloreanc200 and e200 (non-R) are identical for installation process, pretty much
05:29:51Ragingi'll prolly get a biased answer, but does it run better with rockbox than the orig setup?
05:30:04Mouser_XThat depends on "better."
05:30:09alienbiker99yes =)
05:30:09LloreanWith the only significant difference being some c200 firmware versions don't have an MTP/MSC option.
05:30:24Ragingi already fixed that part
05:30:30Ragingdowngrading was quite easy
05:30:32LloreanRaging: Shorter battery life until we learn some things about the hardware we still haven't been able to figure out, but basically better in every other way
05:30:50Ragingooh, good to know
05:30:58Mouser_XNo USB support (yet).
05:31:12LloreanYeah, but I wouldn't consider that a problem since Dual Boot is around
05:31:15tuxnetadmin2i know its unsupported i set up a cross compiler im trying to figure out where to start i think for now ill stick with playing around with opie on my mrobe

05:32:00Ragingis it simple enough to use that i would be able to give a 10 year old
05:32:51Ragingany difficulty in adding music after switching to rockbox?
05:33:15LloreanJust drag 'n drop
05:33:26LloreanRockbox features a filetree browser, or a database that the device itself can generate.
05:33:30DogBoyI never used the original firmware once
05:33:36Ragingawesome
05:33:39LloreanAs for "Simple enough for a 10 year old", that depends heavily on the 10 year old.
05:34:00Raginglol
05:34:21LloreanI have a 10 year old nephew who could use it without problem.
05:34:38LloreanBut we do from time to time get users who claim it's far too complicated for any human, and the directions appear to have been written by a monkey.

05:36:27webguest71so... i got rockbox on my ipod (photo/color) and like when i mount, it reverts to ipod's firmware to make the connection (after i see the rockbox usb icon for a second) is this normal? is there some type of driver in need to install on my windows box?

06:03:55mud-rb_because it provides better charging (except it crashes for me every time)
06:04:52Awarewhat is the point of better charging if you can't transfer any files?
06:05:03LloreanSo you can charge while listening...
06:05:18LloreanAware: Rockbox is in-development software. Code gets committed so that people can work on it, not JUST so that people can use it.
06:05:23Mouser_XSounds good to me (pun unintended).
06:05:36LloreanIf you don't want to be confused by changes, don't update again until a release version comes out, if ever.
06:05:42mud-rb_the OF for sansa is really obnoxious. any way i can avoid booting into it, i do (it really really likes to refresh its database for 10+ minutes every boot)

06:07:53LloreanTeaching a computer to recognize a new extension is usually rather easy
06:08:15mud-rb_yeah, it's laziness more than anything
06:08:27Mouser_XUsually, but one time it seriously screwed things up, and I couldn't fix it..
06:11:28AwareLlorean: Charge while listening to what?
06:11:58LloreanYour music?
06:11:59Mouser_XAware: The Sansa will charge over the USB port in Rockbox, while listeneing to music.
06:12:37LloreanAware: You are aware, as per the manual, you can boot into the original firmware to transfer data, right?
06:15:02AwareGood point.
06:15:18LloreanThe new stack didn't remove any functionality, just added.
06:19:35AwareI understand now. The only problem is the folders that the iPod automatically creates on first boot which are useless to me.
06:20:57LloreanWell, complain to Apple about that one
06:23:00psycho_maniacor just get rid of your ipod ;)
06:23:23AwareI would like to.
06:24:08AwareAt the time it was the best value hard disk player available.
06:24:30AwareThat was Rockboxable, of course.
06:26:30psycho_maniaci remember i waited for the 5.5 80gb support and when that happened, THAT DAY, i went out and bought one. now i wish i never did and am happy with my gigabeat :)
06:28:20AwareHeh. I assume your gigabeat is 60 GB?
06:28:55Mouser_XAware: psycho_maniac's Gigabeat is a F80 (he added a larger drive).
06:29:03Mouser_XMine is the F40.
06:29:27psycho_maniacyes i own a F80 :)
06:30:23AwareNice. When's the upgrade to F160 going to come? :)
06:32:20Mouser_XNever. There's no drives compatible to the Gigabeat F in that size.
06:32:36Mouser_XFor the Gigabeat X there might be, but I don't remember.
06:32:48Mouser_X80 GB is the largest drive you can get for the F.
06:33:25psycho_maniacuhh the X you can go to 100. I think.

07:25:05dirtdawgHi. I let my iPod nano play until it died, then recharged it as normal. However, when I try to boot into Rockbox, I get an error that says it "can't load rockbox ipod: Read failed(image)". If I reboot, then enter disk mode as it instructs, I get only the "OK to discinnect" screen with the green arrow. If I reboot normally, it hangs on the Apple Logo. The Apple partition boots normally. Does anyone here know how I could remedy this p
07:26:36dirtdawgI should add the ipod is currently disconnected. If I connect, then reboot into disk mode, I get the normal "do not disconnect", but upon ejecting, it freezes again on the "okay to disconnect" screen.
07:27:35Mouser_Xdirtdawg: You got cut off at "Does anyone here know how I could remedy this p" I assume you finished with "problem?"
07:27:59Mouser_XAll I can suggest is to run a disk checking utility on it.
07:29:10dirtdawgMouser_x Thank you. The problem is simply that I would like to boot into Rockbox normally. What would I be looking for with the dick check? A corrupt partition?
07:29:27dirtdawgohno! I meant "disk check" Sorry :)
07:30:05Mouser_XPretty much. Did something go bad? Are there corrupted files? Stuff like that.

07:30:56dirtdawgOkay. Well, I will hunt one down. Would reinstalling Rockbox solve the issue? I installed over a year ago and have been meaning to update anyways
07:31:10dirtdawgI use Ubuntu 7.04
07:32:05Mouser_XReinstalling would be a good idea.
07:32:53dirtdawgOkay, thank you very much.
07:33:55Mouser_XAs for whether it'd fix it or not, I don't know. But if it's nearly a year old, updating would a very good idea. Lots of problems have been fixed since then.
07:34:42dirtdawgCool. I will start there then. Thanks for your time.

08:12:05mrkikohi!
08:12:09mrkikoA question...
08:12:31mrkikoWhat should actually happen when rockbox played all the files on a folder and "autochange directory" is set to "yes" ?
08:13:27mrkikoMy H340 actually crashed...
08:14:23LloreanThe whole point of "Autochange directory" is to automatically change the directory when all the files in the folder are done.
08:14:25DogBoythat sounds right
08:15:12LloreanSo if it's not doing that, when you have repeat turned off, then it's a bug.
08:15:26mrkikoI don't know why, but when all those files finished, the player simply crashed, without ever spinning up the disk...
08:15:37 Join j0tt [0] (n=j@unaffiliated/jott)
08:16:26mrkikomhm...
08:16:40mrkikoyes, repeat was off...
08:16:49LinusNa lot of people have reported problems with the autochange, but afaik nobody has done any research
08:17:10mrkikobut I'l try to re-produce this problem when I arrive to my home at 16:30 today..
08:17:16LloreanWhy do we have autochange?
08:17:26LinusNLlorean: it's a requested feature
08:17:40LinusNa lazy man's play-it-all
08:18:15LinusNthe iriver OF has it, so many iriver users requested it back in the days
08:18:22LloreanAh
08:18:26mrkikoI have a feature request, but I think it is riddicolous, so I didn't post it: I would like rockbox to run under a supervisor-kind thing, so that if rockbox crashes the supervisor can still shutdown my player.
08:18:36LloreanI was an iRiver user back in the day, but I still prefer just playlisting everything
08:19:46LinusNmrkiko: not necessarily ridiculous, but still not easy to do
08:20:00LinusNLlorean: to each his own i guess
08:20:04LloreanI suppose
08:20:24LloreanOn iRiver at least, doesn't Rockbox shutdown from Illinstr and similar crashes?
08:20:39LinusNLlorean: yes, you can press Play to reboot
08:20:55mrkikono...
08:21:01mrkiko:) simply not :)
08:21:10Mouser_XSince I have more than 30,000 files (the current limit for playlists) the "Autochange" could be nice. I don't use it though.
08:21:34LloreanWhy do we have a playlist size limit?
08:21:46Mouser_XI thought it was a memory issue.
08:21:54LinusNit was/is
08:21:54LloreanYes
08:21:58LloreanBut I'm curious why it's necessary
08:22:06LloreanCan't we store the playlist filename, and say, 200 entries from it at any given time?

08:22:43LloreanHm
08:22:50mrkikoLinusN: I think... the problem is that rockbox is not perfect...
08:23:09LloreanLinusN: So shuffle it, and store it in a temporary file in the .rockbox folder, similar to nvram.bin?
08:24:15 Quit Redbreva ("Miranda IM! Smaller, Faster, Easier. http://miranda-im.org")
08:24:16LloreanOr is that problematic too.
08:24:23LinusNthe playlist code was written to conserve memory, while still being efficient
08:24:46LloreanIt just seems to me like there should be a "less efficient, but still usable" case for when the list is too long.
08:25:13LloreanSimilar to when a folder is longer than the max list size, I'm curious why it doesn't spinup as you scroll down.
08:25:13mrkikoI was just too lazy to read things about "car adapter mode" and "party mode": what are they doing actually?
08:25:16LinusNprobably, or just increase the limit
08:25:44Lloreanmrkiko: Well, you could go read things about them now...
08:26:12LinusNmrkiko: car adapter mode handles start/restart of playback when the charger power comes and goes
08:26:16mrkikoyou're right ... )
08:26:19amiconnLlorean: When a folder is longer than the directory size limit, you simply don't see all entries
08:26:41Lloreanamiconn: I know. I'm curious why this is the way it works.

08:27:19mrkikoI think I should try it

08:28:13Lloreanamiconn: Ah, sorting. Gotcha
08:28:45LinusNthe same goes for playlists, actually. shuffling and sorting is a pain if you can't have it all in memory
08:29:19 Join safetydan [0] (n=safetyda@rockbox/developer/safetydan)
08:29:20amiconnAfaik, playlists are very memory efficient in that they store just one index value (4 bytes) per track in memory
08:29:33LinusNyes
08:29:50LinusNwe could easily increase the maximum limit if necessary
08:30:05LinusNand according to Mouser_X it is...
08:30:18 Quit miepchen^schlaf (Read error: 110 (Connection timed out))
08:30:19amiconnThe file browser, however, could be made more memory efficient, by using linked lists (like the database) instead of a simple array
08:30:39LinusNit doesn't?
08:31:14Mouser_XLinusN: I'd never make a 30,000+ playlist for actual use.
08:31:32Mouser_XFor searching, I've done that. But to actually listen to it? I wouldn't do that.
08:31:53LloreanLinusN: With 60/80gb drives and how tiny some of our formats are, I can easily imagine playlists of rather ridiculous size if someone wants to shuffle their whole collection
08:32:29Mouser_XVery true.
08:33:01amiconnLinusN: Iirc it uses some hybrid concept. An array holding all info, but just a pointer for the name, pointing into some kind of pool memory area
08:33:13*mrkiko wanting to debug rockbox
08:33:33LinusNamiconn: isn't that good enough?
08:33:56LinusNamiconn: ah, the index array is the limiting factor
08:33:58amiconnThis method adapts well to occasional very long names, as long as the average file name length isn't longer than some value
08:34:39GodEater_that's a pretty clever idea imo
08:34:45LinusNamiconn: as long as you use static memory allocation, you still have a limit
08:35:10LinusNlinked lists won't solve that
08:35:18amiconnLinusN: Yes, but that limit wouldn't enforce a maximum number of files
08:35:39LinusNas long as you fill the index array from the start and the string pool from the bottom
08:35:54LinusNthen you won't have a fixed limit
08:35:59amiconnIf the average filename is short, it could fit more entries than now into the same amount of ram
08:36:11LinusNyes, if you do as i described
08:36:56amiconnYes, or use linked lists. Maybe the top/bottom approach would be even more efficient.... not sure
08:37:11LinusNin fact, that's what i do in the sort plugin, sort.rock
08:37:59mrkikoAniway when the player crashes I noted it exhausts his battery very very quickly - may be the CPU is doing something ?
08:38:07mrkiko*something intensive ? *
08:38:31amiconnThe array + string pool needs one pointer (to the string) per entry. Linked lists wouldn't need that (the string could be tacked onto the end of the entry), but they need a pointer to the successor
08:38:45amiconnDouble linked lists would need 2 pointers, hmm
08:38:47LloreanSo the limit you set for playlist length is an approximate based on an average, and if you have long names it may end up shorter?
08:38:59amiconnLlorean: No
08:39:13LloreanOkay, it sounded like that from something you said
08:39:28amiconnThe playlist limit is fixed. The directory size limit is where you might end up with less entries if your average filenames are very long
08:39:36LloreanAh okay.
08:39:36LinusNLlorean: we're talking about the file browser

08:41:09amiconnLlorean: I have never seen the browser hit the filename size limit, always the number-of-entries limit
08:41:30amiconnThat's why I am thinking about a way to use the reserved memory more efficiently

09:36:51 Part dirtdawg
09:37:52rasherlinuxstb: 'zip' on Linux does (I assume the same version is used across the board), and fat has been ucs2 for ages, so I'd be quite surprised if it didn't work on cygwin.
09:38:06rasherOr ucs4, I forget.
09:38:19rasherOr some other abbreviation :)
09:38:56linuxstbI'm just saying we should test the common zip tools - just to make sure.
09:39:28rasherAh, you mean for unpacking?
09:39:44linuxstbThe only slight nastiness is that not all the filenames will display correctly with all fonts, but I guess that's not a problem if the English name is there too.
09:40:02rasherI'm leaning back and forth between displaying the english name first or not
09:40:39rasherIt looks nicest in all fonts with the english name first, but on the other hand, a native speaker would like the native name first
09:41:03linuxstbBut doesn't Rockbox lack proper unicode sorting?
09:41:10rasherI do think we really should display both, though.
09:41:18rasherPossibly - I've no idea to be honest.
09:41:39rasherThat's another reason in favour of putting the English name first, I guess
09:41:45linuxstbYes, that's what I mean.
09:42:09LloreanI think I'm in favour of English Name First too, since you can depend on that to always be readable.
09:42:30linuxstbI've no idea what the order of "Russian", "Hebrew" and "Chinese" should be in their native languages/characters...
09:42:45 Quit mrkiko (Remote closed the connection)
09:42:58rasherYeah, we might even end up in nationalist discussions!
09:43:24linuxstbSo putting the English first nicely avoids the issue, plus will look better if the font doesn't support the characters.
09:43:43rasherYup. I'm in favour of that too, now.
09:44:23rasherHow about using -print0 and -0 to find and xargs? Will that break horribly on BSDs and OS X?
09:44:40rasheror can we ask for the gnu tools there?
09:44:57rasherOr do the BSD tools also implement -print0 and -0..
09:50:31ZagorI have some osx people here, I'll ask
09:52:15linuxstbThe xargs and find manpages don't seem to mention that -print0 is a GNU extension.

09:53:21rasherHm
09:53:33markunrasher: where did you read that zip supports unicode?
09:53:50rashermarkun: I didn't - I tested it
09:54:00markunhow?
09:54:04rashermake install for the sim worked, and produced the correct file
09:54:12rasher(that goes through make zip and unzipping)
09:54:37ZagorOSX supports -0 and -print0
09:54:37markundid you make the files on a UTF-16 system and extract them on a UTF-8 system for example?
09:54:57markunI believe I also did some tests in the past and it didn't work
09:55:12rasherAh. Hm.
09:55:22rasherEveryone should be utf-8 anyway :|

09:55:41markun7zip and rar support unicode afaik
09:55:56markunbut I didn't find anything on zip
09:56:24rasherAh yeah, that breaks nicely.
09:56:33dirtdawgMouser_X: I wrote earlier about a frozen Nano. I updated and everything works superbly now. Just wanted to say 'thanks' again. Cheers!
09:56:56linuxstbA google for "zip filename encoding" gives lots of problems...
09:57:14rasherProbably a case of "zip is old and broken"
09:57:50 Join Nico_P [0] (n=nicolas@rockbox/developer/NicoP)
09:57:51rasherOpening the zip with the Windows builtin zip unpacker broke spectacularly
09:58:12linuxstbYes, I think that zip as a format doesn't have a character encoding specified in the file, or any mandated encoding...
09:58:20rasherOpening with 7-zip (still just a regular zip), breaks in a different way.
09:58:45rasherI guess that plan's out of the window then, unless we move to a different archive format
09:58:48linuxstbWe could switch to 7z, but maybe that's excessive for such a small feature...
09:59:25rasherProbably.
09:59:31GodEater_there's other benefits to 7z too though
09:59:33Llorean7z is also a bit smaller. And honestly does the archive format matter too much if we have most users using rbutil?
09:59:46Nico_Pj0tt: hi
09:59:50linuxstbDoes/can rbutil support 7z?
09:59:59GodEater_I don't see why not
10:00
10:00:00rasherrbutil needs to support 7z then. I believe they got zip support for free
10:00:04GodEater_it's an open format
10:00:50rasherWe could provide the archives as self extracting exes for windows users
10:01:37rasherDon't know how good an idea it is
10:02:17GodEater_the 7zip site provides an sdk
10:02:22GodEater_no lib though =/
10:02:46LloreanI like the idea of moving to an archive format that's a little less likely to break sooner, even if the benefit is minimal. It might prove useful in the future, and no harm if it doesn't, right? (Assuming someone's willing to put in the work for it)
10:04:07GodEater_I like that idea too
10:04:26rasherWell there's the problem of zip being pretty much universally supported, whereas 7z is "some weird file I can't open". Don't know how widespread rbutil usage is yet?
10:04:55GodEater_we can provide a link to the 7zip site too
10:05:01GodEater_that's not a huge problem to overcome..
10:05:04LloreanYeah, but there are .7z tools for most OSes
10:05:27LloreanAnd the benefit of that is that they aren't likely to use some psychotic extractor that creates its own folders, or dumps everything in the root, or other weirdness
10:05:52rasherI'm not saying it's necessarily a huge problem, just something to think about, I guess.
10:06:06LloreanIndeed
10:06:32GodEater_tbh, that's another good reason to move
10:06:47GodEater_the fact that we can predict more accurately what people will use to do the extract
10:07:08GodEater_we'll end up with less of those forum posts that have resulted from some hair brained archive program extracting to wherever it felt like
10:07:18LloreanGodEater_: That also means that for windows/mac/linux we can make much more specific "Manual install" instructions by linking to an extraction tool, and giving instructions for using it.
10:07:21rasherIt *will* result in a wave of confused users though. Whether or not it's worth it is the question. I'm leaning towards yes.
10:07:27*jhMikeS doesn't understand how renaming functions that were named for what they literally do to something else that's literally what they don't do helps clarity (re: lv24020lp.c)
10:07:44LloreanjhMikeS: Maybe he's confused?
10:07:58Lloreanrasher: As the man who's likely to encounter those users head on, I think I'm still in favour of it. :)
10:08:07GodEater_ditto

10:09:25jhMikeSlv24020_write_clear doesn't clear the bits that are set, it clears the bits that aren't set :)
10:09:33Lloreanrasher: Something we need to check, at least.
10:09:46jhMikeS*_and is what it does
10:10:06rasherLlorean: I would guess it is - it seems to be completely native windows code.
10:10:14ZagorjhMikeS: no he added a ~ to it
10:10:18rasherThough you can never really tell.
10:11:08Lloreanrasher: It seems likely at least. It'd be nice if RButil could be made accessible (and reliable) enough that non-devs would never have a good reason to manual install
10:11:27LloreanAs it is, I think the reliability is just on player detection for first installs at this point.

10:29:35GodEater_hmm - if we want .7z support in rbutil it looks like we'll need to distrubute the SDK inside the rockbox svn - otherwise we can't guarantee the location of the header files on a building system. What do you guys think ?
10:30:31rasherHrm, I'm not sure it's needed. Seems to work fine with SDL
10:30:40rasherAh.
10:30:48rasherDifferent situation..
10:31:07rasherWell, we already distribute a ton of libraries
10:31:44GodEater_yes - which we've tweaked for rockbox targets, which makes sense
10:31:52GodEater_but not for host systems as far as I'm aware
10:33:03rasherYeah, but I don't see a real problem in doing it. The alternative is to tell the user to download it himself, which doesn't really accomplish anything but distribute the workload and multiplying it by a million
10:33:30GodEater_it also means we'll have to manually incorporate any upstream changes that the .7z team make
10:34:23rasherWe'd (and I use the word "we" very loosely here) have to deal with changes anyway, if the user updates from the website etc.
10:37:04homieloweAny ideas to compile odcctools under a x86-64 env(ubuntu 7.10)?, trying compile the iphone toochain ( rockbox as app)

10:38:54homielowehttp://pastebin.ca/index.php Well I guess your right, I kinda thought just that rockbox is pretty linux related.

10:44:42LloreanGodEater_: I emailed their licensing representative to ask if he had any ideas regarding Rockbox and the helix AAC codec.
10:44:48LloreanHe suggested a phonecall and offered to call me.
10:44:54GodEater_oh neat
10:45:06 Part linuxstb ("Leaving")
10:45:19LloreanHe also mentioned he was familiar with our project.
10:45:38GodEater_scarey
10:47:31LloreanThe email also caused me to realize that I'm not fond of shortening job titles no matter how long or awkward the full title might be.
10:47:41GodEater_explain
10:47:56LloreanFor example, I think "Dir Bus Dev IP Lic" looks worse than what it most likely is written out in full.
10:48:06GodEater_ah yes
10:48:29LloreanBut I suppose that's just personal preference. It'd be a hassle to type even remotely frequently.
10:48:46LloreanThe burdens of responsibility, I suppose
10:49:09advcomp2019Llorean, if i reading that right, could that mean rockbox could play rax files?
10:51:54Lloreanadvcomp2019: Well we're discussing the Helix AAC codec, since signs point to it being a good deal better than our AAC codec.
10:52:01rasherI'm extremely sceptic about using the Helix AAC decoder on Rockbox unless we come up with some really generic codec that gets us out of GPL trouble, or they relicense the thing.
10:52:11rasherBut a phonecall never hurt anyone, of course.
10:53:20LloreanWell yeah, the whole tone of my email was "We're GPL licensed, and we compile in codecs, but your AAC codec looks really good, any ideas?"
10:53:41Zagorrasher: yeah, I don't have great hopes either. but talking is always good.
10:54:25rasherIf nothing else, it might just nudge them towards getting gpl compatible.
10:54:30LloreanSo if he thinks there's anything to discuss, it might well be that there's either something he can do, or he knows something we don't.
10:55:33LloreanAnd I mean the worst that can come of it is that we go right on not using their code because we can't. :)

11:15:11safetydanSo do we want to support with Vorbis comment packets that span multiple pages?
11:15:28safetydanJust reading through the Vorbis comment spec they discourage large comments blocks.
11:16:35LloreanDiscourage as in "You should support them but shake your fingers at people who use them" or discourage as in "we won't shake our fingers at you if you choose not to support them"?
11:18:22safetydanLlorean, "It is meant for short text comments, not arbitrary metadata; "
11:18:35safetydanfrom the spec

13:40:36pixelmamarkun: what advantage would dB for balance have?
13:40:42mrkikoso I don't retain to be a fanboy
13:40:43*jhMikeS is just happy he beat everyone to the wikipedia link this time :p
13:40:44markunpixelma: it sounds better
13:40:53 Quit midgey (Client Quit)
13:41:30markunpixelma: hm, I think you are right, there is no advantage :)
13:41:40markunas the percentage is in dB anyway
13:41:40pixelmawouldn't it need to be dynamic dependung on your volume setting then?
13:41:49pixelma*depending too
13:41:52jhMikeSdB for balance = linear balance control?
13:44:10 Join MethoS- [0] (n=clemens@pD955CE04.dip.t-dialin.net)
13:44:21jhMikeSpixelma: not really, it should be a value with 0/0 being centered or 74L = -74R = full left for instance. However what level something is, you can always reduce the dB by some negative amount.
13:45:14markunjhMikeS: do you think having dB instead of percentage makes sense?
13:45:33markunwould be the same reason we switched the volume control from percentage to dB
13:46:07jhMikeSyeah, then perceived shift would be linear to the value
13:46:28jhMikeSsomehow you have to include -inf in there though
13:46:53markunI'm just a bit puzzled by the balance values for the Micronas 3507D
13:47:48markunfor all other audio hw I have the balance from MIN_VOLUME to -MIN_VOLUME
13:48:18amiconnmarkun: Put simply, dB for balance would be more complex to handle
13:48:21jhMikeSisn't there an audio volume table
13:48:26amiconn*way* more complex
13:48:27markunamiconn: why complex?
13:48:42amiconnOn some targets, at least
13:48:46markunit looks simpler to me
13:48:58markunI'll show you the patch I have, then you can comment on it
13:49:10jhMikeSdo any targets have balance register or just L/R volume ones?

13:53:27jhMikeSmarkun: I know, but I'm just wanting to kick it off on the right foot
13:53:40markunamiconn: then I'll just keep that in %
13:53:44markunthe rest was in dB anyway
13:54:00amiconnWhy do you want balance in dB btw?
13:54:02LinusNwhat would be the benefit?
13:54:52markunisn't it the same reason we have the volume in dB? Becaus that is the actual unit we use?
13:55:40LinusNmarkun: yes, but what is the natural unit for balance?
13:55:54markunLinusN: I would say it's dB
13:56:04amiconnUmm, balance is actually in dB on MAS35xxF ...
13:56:47markunsome questions about the 3507D
13:56:51amiconnIt goes from -128dB to +127dB
13:58:04amiconnThe 3507D doesn't handle volume/balance. It's the accompanying DAC3550 that handles it
13:58:14markunaha
13:58:20amiconnPlain left/right volume like most other DACs
13:58:45markunin sound.c: int current_balance = 0; /* -960..+960
13:59:00markunthat is the supposed range for MAS3507D
13:59:21markunbut it says: int current_volume = 0; /* -780..+180
13:59:45amiconnyes, and +18 - (-78) == 96
13:59:48markunso sounds like balance should just be -780..+780 right?
13:59:52markunah, ok
14:00
14:00:31markunso, still against my change?
14:00:53LinusNi'm not against it, in fact i don't really care

14:03:08markunamiconn: for MAS3587F we have the min volume as -100, is that correct?
14:04:32markunthe datasheet says -114

14:04:57amiconnThat's in order to keep the volume display in the status bar as 2 digits

14:31:49markuntell us!
14:33:15XavierGr_surprise surprise it is a Gigeabeat S
14:33:56XavierGr_it has some major cracks in its back though... now let's see if this thing turns on
14:35:51preglowmarkun: doesn't balance already use db?
14:36:07preglowmarkun: and anyway, i think balance should be in %, you almost never see db balance controls
14:36:17preglowthey might BE db internally, but they always present a percent scale
14:36:25markunwhy not make the volume in percent again?
14:36:37XavierGr_it's alive! :D
14:37:30preglowmarkun: well, because volume in db is an ordinary convention, if you ask me
14:37:38markunpreglow: I just think it makes more sense to make the left channel x dB quieter than just a percentage over the whole range (in dB)
14:37:49preglowmarkun: i'm really not too interested in what exact db my balance is set to, but i am interested in what db my volume is
14:38:05markunwhat do you use balance for?

14:38:31preglowmarkun: i never use it, but if i did, it would be to balance out something that seemed panned
14:39:10markunand not pan it by several dB but rather in percentage?
14:39:35preglowi don't care about the scale at all
14:39:36markunof the whole range in dB
14:39:37preglowi listen for the change i want
14:40:05preglowthe only thing that would be good to fix with balance, is make the scale perceived linear, it's not right now
14:40:11preglowthe upper part of the scale is much more usefull than the lower
14:40:15markunmaybe useful for people with unbalanced hearing and several different rockbox targets :)
14:40:50markunyes, I agree with the last part
14:41:06markunthat was what got me looking at the balance in the first place
14:41:09preglowbut balance _is_ in decibels internally, right?
14:41:33markunfor most targets it's just the difference between left and right in dB
14:41:35preglow100% = -max db pan
14:41:38preglowyeah
14:41:50markunany idea how to make it sound more linear?
14:41:53preglownope
14:42:09preglowbalance is one thing i've never really cared much about, apart from just tuning something to sound right
14:43:06***Saving seen data "./dancer.seen"
14:43:19XavierGr_markun: is the phone out the video out on Gigabeat S too?
14:43:30markunlast time I asked i got a lot less complaints... but that was before I wrote the patch of course :)
14:43:39markunXavierGr_: no idea
14:44:06markunI believe that toffe told me it works with the Gigabeat F remote, so I don't think they also put video in there

14:44:28markunno, only F40

15:42:42J-23Hello!
15:42:52DeeKayHey guys! 8) I really want rockbox (SID support! \o/) and I just backed up my iPod nano 1st gen 2GB, reformatted it Windows and installed Rockbox using the QT installer. Seemed to work fine, but the iPod keeps telling me "Can't load rockbox.ipod - file not found". but the file IS in /.rockbox/rockbox.ipod! He;lp? <:-)
15:44:42DeeKayAnd one more thing: The changing to a windows iPod on the Mac using the partition tables as described here http://www.rockbox.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/IpodConversionToFAT32 does not work. dd tells me it cannot do this
15:45:18GodEater_which step with dd ?
15:45:22DeeKayI did try uninstalling everything and re-installing it, to no avail... same problem!
15:45:33GodEater_silly question - you mean part C ?
15:45:57DeeKaydd if=mbr-nano2GB.bin of=/dev/disk2
15:46:07GodEater_what's the exact error message it gives you ?
15:46:31DeeKayurm... damn, i closed the window already! <:-)
15:46:45DeeKayI think it was "cannot open device", but i may be wrong
15:46:59DeeKaycan i try again now that i converted it to windows already?
15:47:02GodEater_so how did you end up doing the conversion then ?
15:47:06DeeKayis it somewhere in console.log?
15:47:11DeeKayon a windows machine
15:47:16GodEater_ah
15:47:28GodEater_you certainly can try it again yes
15:47:42DeeKayok, trying
15:47:49GodEater_I suspect it may be because you either specified the device name in correctly, or didn't run it as a user with sufficient permissions
15:47:58GodEater_s/in correctly/incorrectly
15:49:09DeeKayshould i eject the whole disk or just umount the partition from diskutil?
15:49:28GodEater_ejecting is a bad plan
15:49:28DeeKayi did run it as sudo, otherwise dd refuses to work at all! 8)
15:49:38GodEater_unmounting is unnecessary
15:49:53GodEater_although probably a good idea :)
15:50:49DeeKaywell, it DOES say so in the tutorial
15:51:17DeeKaya) Find your iPod and unmount it
15:51:20GodEater_yeah, unmount it then
15:51:28GodEater_definitely don't eject it though
15:51:31DeeKaymaybe that's what i did wrong?
15:51:51GodEater_could be
15:52:45DeeKayyeah, that was it
15:52:58DeeKaydd: /dev/disk2: Operation not supported
15:53:06DeeKay(i did eject it, like before!)
15:53:24GodEater_yeah - that would be the problem - the device file is no longer actually attached to the device at that point
15:53:26DeeKayso it prolly works if i just unmount the partition

16:13:54GodEater_we're not interested in anonymous contributions. Period.
16:14:38DeeKayok, have it your way... So what about that "file not found" problem?
16:15:18*linuxstb thought "select your iPod and click 'Unmount'." was quite explicit...
16:15:52GodEater_I did too linuxstb
16:16:05DeeKayWell, here's the thing: you can select both the iPod and the partition on it... and it's not called "unmount" in every language! ;-)
16:16:07GodEater_I've added the "do not eject" anyway though
16:16:25DeeKayIn german there's "Deaktivieren" and "Auswerfen"
16:16:32linuxstbDeeKay: OK, fair point ;)
16:17:00DeeKayone more thing to add would be WHERE you can see the /diskX - select iPod and click "Info"
16:17:23*GodEater_ will leave it someone who actually owns a Max
16:17:27GodEater_s/Max/Mac
16:17:28DeeKayright now it just says "find the disk name"
16:18:11linuxstbHow do we know what the user has called their ipod?
16:18:49DeeKayNo, we're not looking for the actual name, we're looking for the /diskX
16:20:20linuxstbThe "manual instructions" are never going to be suitable for users who don't know their way around the command-line. That's why we suggest finding a Windows machine to do the conversion. I'm also working on adding conversion capabilities to ipodpatcher/rbutil, but that's not done yet.
16:21:07DeeKayJust add "(Select your iPod volume and click the "Info"-Button. It's the /diskX under "Media-Identification") after "...has assigned to your iPod"
16:21:10GodEater_and will only work for a subset of ipods anyway unless you get your 1st dan in FAT.

16:21:42GodEater_or if Zagor takes pity on you ;)
16:21:56DeeKaywell, there's alot of people like me with limited commandline knowledge! ;-)
16:21:57linuxstbGodEater_: I'm hoping once it works with 512-byte sectors, someone will jump in and fix for 2048 - I'm guessing it's relatively trivial if you know FAT.
16:22:17GodEater_let's hope so
16:22:28DeeKayI know my way around some stuff like Imagemagick, AWK, sed etc, but dd is complete and utter mystery to me! ;-)
16:22:41 Quit MethoS-- (Read error: 110 (Connection timed out))
16:22:45GodEater_dd is child's play compared to sed/awk
16:22:55*linuxstb makes a good living with AWK...
16:23:28DeeKayyeah, awk rocks! 8)
16:24:34DeeKayanyhow, any ideas why rockbox.ipod cannot be found when it's there?
16:24:57linuxstbWhat ipod do you have?
16:25:04GodEater_Nano 2GB
16:25:07DeeKay1st gen nano 2GB
16:25:27*GodEater_ wonders if the windows machine has put the wrong sort of FAT on the device.
16:25:28linuxstbWhere is the rockbox.ipod file on your Nano? (the full path)
16:25:46GodEater_linuxstb: he used RBUtil to to the install
16:25:46DeeKay /.rockbox/
16:25:50GodEater_so it's in the right place
16:26:44DeeKayoriginal OS works fine
16:26:48linuxstbGodEater_: I would have thought Rockbox would have given a "no partition" error if the partition wasn't formatted as FAT32
16:26:50DeeKaybootloader itself seems to work fine, too
16:27:05DeeKaythat little hardwaretest utility you included seems to work, too
16:27:12GodEater_I thought "no partition" was based on the partition type in the mbr
16:27:19GodEater_not the actual content of the partition
16:27:27GodEater_but I bow to your greater experience
16:27:27linuxstbNo, I don't think Rockbox pays any attention to the partition type
16:27:35linuxstb(ipodpatcher/rbutil does though)
16:27:43DeeKaywell, it is formatted in FAT32 now, so that shouldn't be a problem
16:27:45GodEater_in that case I'm stumped
16:28:52DeeKayi did try a chmod +x for rockbox.ipod to no avail (changed it back meanwhile)
16:29:04GodEater_no such attribute on a fat partition
16:29:11GodEater_so it makes no difference
16:29:19amiconnGodEater: Rockbox doesn't care about partition type (as long as it's != 5)
16:29:22linuxstbMaybe you have a stray mount point in /Volumes - if you unplug your Nano, do you still see it in /Volumes/ ?
16:29:23GodEater_the bootloader wouldn't care
16:29:39GodEater_amiconn: thanks for enlightening me :)
16:29:45GodEater_I did believe linuxstb already though
16:30:01DeeKayFuck me - You're right! It's still there!
16:30:14DeeKayCan't see it in the finder, but it's still in /Volumes
16:30:58DeeKayhow did that happen? and what do I do now? 8)
16:31:27GodEater_take the windows solution. Reboot!
16:31:58linuxstbOr try "diskutil unmount /Volumes/xxxxx"
16:32:23linuxstbDeeKay: I guess you unplugged without unmounting/ejecting.
16:32:26 Quit animeloe ("Leaving")
16:32:49linuxstbBeing able to use chmod on a FAT device was the clue...
16:33:41DeeKaywell, i did pull it out a little too early once after pushing the eject button.. but that was after it didn't work
16:33:50GodEater_is that something Mac specific then ?
16:34:20GodEater_cos I can chmod stuff on a FAT device from linux. It just doesn't do much other than affect the colours "ls" outputs in :)
16:34:39linuxstbGodEater_: That doesn't make sense - it must be caching it...

16:35:13DeeKaySo where do i go from here? reboot the machine to get rid of that stray mountpoint and then what?
16:35:45linuxstbThen just run Rockbox Utility again to install Rockbox
16:35:56DeeKayuninstall first I assume?
16:36:03linuxstbNo, nothing is installed...
16:36:24linuxstbBut you could delete that stray mount point - as it contains a copy of .rockbox
16:36:35DeeKaytried that, won't work
16:36:40linuxstbAs root?
16:36:54DeeKayVolume failed to unmount
16:36:56DeeKayyeah
16:37:02linuxstbNo, I mean "rm" it
16:37:09DeeKaywell, with sudo! ;-)

16:39:34DeeKaybut where did that fake mountpoint come from anyway?
16:40:01DeeKayI think rbutil must've created it, cause it was definately copying somewhere all the time
16:40:35DeeKaythat unplugging-without-unmounting was definately AFTER the installation with rbutil

18:44:45imulatorij thx crash
18:44:46imulatorok
18:44:49imulatornot ij^^
18:44:49amiconnThe problem with the coldfire irivers is that a broken bootloader can render the device unusable, and for recovery you need to access it via bdm
18:44:57Crash91imulator: bitte

18:48:27mrkikoat least from our point of view...
18:48:41Crash91:)
18:48:51amiconnHaving a method to recover from a broken installation is always a good idea. Dunno why iriver didn't think of that
18:49:16Crash91they are rebels
18:49:24mrkikoamiconn: Probably they wan't you play with theyr devices with your own firmware...
18:49:32Crash91theyre too cool to have that kind of mundane stuff
18:49:59mrkikoCrash91: probably... :)
18:50:00amiconnmrkiko: The same thing applies if you flash a broken original firmware, or something goes wrong during flashing
18:50:21amiconnYou cannot recover without special, somewhat expensive hardware
18:51:09mrkikoamiconn: aniway ... probably I have one of those players definitely market-death..
18:51:20amiconnThe iAudios supported by rockbox (X5 and M5) are also coldfire based, and those have a quite good recovery concept
18:51:30mrkikoI may be better in changing it ... even if it's perfect from an hardware point of vbiew.

19:10:48bertrikUncle_Tom: there's no reason to put sansapatcher on the device itself I think
19:11:18Crash91i dont think that is would make a difference
19:11:19imulatorif i connect my sansa to my pc in rockbox mode it dont works
19:11:21Uncle_Tom@bertrik: that is what I thought, too

19:27:50Crash91i kinda got that when he said it :)
19:27:55pixelmaUncle_Tom: to copy files over to the Sansa you boot into the original firmware because Rockbox doesn't have its own USB implementation yet (it's being worked on). That will happen automatically if you plug the USB cable when the Sansa is turned off
19:28:41*scorche|w wonders if he really has to add a "no advertising" guidelines
19:28:53*scorche|w steals the s away to be used at a later time
19:28:54mud-rbpixelma: i thought that the automatic booting to OF was disabled with the new start of USB code (at least mine doesn't anymore)
19:28:57Uncle_Tompixelma: I just realized recently as I plugged my sansa to the usb port
19:29:59bertrikmud-rb: indeed something seems to broken in that regard, mine reboots maybe half the time
19:30:05*Crash91 wonders why there isnt a #rockbox-german or #rockbox-foreign-languages
19:30:31Soapbecause splintering of effort is wasteful
19:30:33pixelmamud-rb: works for me (on a Sansa c200),
19:30:49bertrikpixelma: does the display turn off just before rebooting?
19:31:01bertriks/display/backlight/
19:31:12mud-rbpixelma: hmm, i wonder if that's some kind of bug then. mine i have to manually boot to OF or it never does it
19:31:46Uncle_Tomok, guys, I'll be off now. time for some evening freetime - otherwise myjob will eat me
19:32:00mud-rbmine is an e200 though, maybe that makes a difference somehow
19:32:01Crash91hmm, i updated mine the day the new USB stack was released, and it still autoboots OF
19:32:13Crash91e200 btw
19:32:18pixelmabertrik: are you asking about rebooting from an off-state or from a running Rockbox?

19:32:27 Quit Uncle_Tom ("CGI:IRC (EOF)")
19:32:38mud-rbCrash91: oh, did you update your bootloader too? i bet that's why mine doesn't (i did)
19:32:42bertrikmine boots fine into the OF when booting from off-state
19:32:47Crash91off-state i mean
19:33:00Crash91is it meant to while running RB?
19:33:24mrkikono
19:33:31mrkikoCrash91: off-state probably is when the player is off
19:33:50pixelmabertrik: that didn't work correctly before and is now more reliable for me (with the new USB stack).
19:34:25mrkikoCan someone fill a bug report for me about the iriver boot loader not booting in the OF when .rockbox miss, as the manual says? I'll may do it tomorrow... but I don't know...
19:34:35bertrikpixelma: and does the backlight turn off when rebooting from a running rockbox?
19:34:36Crash91yes, i wondered when i saw my friend's ipod reboot automatically, that the feature was not implemented on the sansa

19:35:08pixelmabefore it got stuck on the Rockbox USB screen about 50% of the times and the backlight turned off, but you could see it in certain light
19:35:14mud-rbmine does a nice hard crash when the USB is inserted, which is sort of like a reboot :)
19:35:44Crash91mud-rb: ah! thats the reason why my RB was crashing allt he time on usb! i wanted to charge
19:36:00Crash91the LCD screen "clouded up" on me
19:36:09pixelmabertrik: yes, backlight is flickering a few times quickly
19:36:25mrkikoI think rockbox breaks our hardware :)
19:36:32bertrikhmmm, there's an i2c command to the backlight controller to disable the backlight just before reboot but it doesn't seem to work on my e200, i think the sansa is rebooted before the command is fully executed
19:36:33*Crash91 runs off to fetch his sansa
19:37:36bertrikactually the i2c command seems to mess up some settings
19:37:39Crash91crash on USB
19:38:03bertrikCrash91: I also get the "clouding" effect, it happens when the LCD is no longer refreshed AFAIK
19:38:10Crash91yep
19:38:32bertrikCrash91: but does it work consistently, i.e. does it _always_ reset or just sometimes?
19:39:02Crash91second time: didnt go to USB screen, charge icon shows
19:40:32Crash91when i tried to conenct it to my satellite box to charge it crashed consistently 3-4 times
19:41:01Crash91third time: crash

20:47:18amiconnChronon: properties.rock isn't meant to be called directly
20:48:02n1sI actually think i added some blurb about the properties thing to the manual... anyway it isn't exactly difficult to figure out
20:48:14 Part Daolan
20:48:16*amiconn thinks we should have a list of all build servers and their admins
20:49:16Chrononok. Well, I'll start a stub for PluginWav2wv and add it to the plugin list anyway.
20:49:20n1syep, properties is mentioned (and explained briefly) in the "File Menu" section
20:49:22scorche|wamiconn: google says "perplexity"
20:49:38Chrononok... I didn't properly search the manual for that one, just the wiki

20:52:06pixelman1s: wanted to ask you something... currently the system chapter in the manual is wrong for some targets (like mentioning disk poweroff or battery and so on) and no easy way to opt it. What do you think about adding some "UseOption"s to the platform files like "BATTERY_TYPES" and so on and rework it based on this?

20:53:15n1spixelma: I think that the more stuff that is controlled by the platform files, the better, makes stuff much easier :)
20:53:16amiconnThe 'disk poweroff' option does no longer exist
20:53:29pixelman1s: somewhat similar to the features.txt so to speak :)
20:54:28pixelmaamiconn: was just a bad example then
20:54:46pixelmabut things like anti-shake buffer and so on
20:54:54*amiconn thinks pixelma meant 'disk spindown'
20:55:23pixelmamaybe
20:56:23pixelman1s: ok, will have a try then. Currently the c200 manual is quite a bit off there...

21:14:38n1spixelma: I like sort-of mirroring the #defines from config-*.h files in the platform files to make things easy to remember
21:15:18pixelmaI imagined it like the features.txt somehow...
21:16:56stripwaxjhMikeS - thanks *very* much for the comments on 8226 - really appreciate it!
21:17:07*stripwax goes digging
21:17:12n1syeah, that could work too, will require some sort of parsing though but would be easy to maintain, especially if it uses #defines directly
21:18:56pixelman1s: I didn't think this far only that there could be these "UseOption"s with the same name
21:20:08pixelmawould be above my head anyway to set something up to automatically connect the two

23:13:08LloreanThe phonecall is done.
23:13:25*scorche|w waits
23:13:40LloreanBasically, there's no way as things currently stand (codecs as derivative works) that there's really anything we can do.
23:14:07safetydanshame, but not unexpected
23:14:16scorche|wpretty much
23:14:30*petur waits for the 'but...'
23:14:40LloreanBut some points were made to me. 1) There's a faction in the company that really likes to get RealAudio/RealVideo other there, and would probably be interested in exploring other ideas (sounded like closed source codecs, or other similar things) if a solution to the derivative work question were resolve.
23:15:09scorche|wpetur: i saw the period and didnt think Llorean would start a sentence with a "but" =P
23:15:15Llorean2) The Rhapsody guys would probably be interested in talking with us about trying to support Rhapsody content somehow.
23:15:25preglowreally...
23:15:29safetydanthat's interesting
23:15:35preglowwell, i'd love a way to make that work
23:16:33LloreanThose are really the boiled down essence of the whole conversation. The reason they stick with the RPSL is the patent protection, so they really can't do anything about that for the AAC codec.
23:16:33scorche|wLlorean: so did we get some names and numbers of others who would liek to speak to us?
23:16:55LloreanWe got a "Talk with your guys, and if the attitude there is amenable, I can put you in contact with our guys"

23:19:40preglowi'm not the slightest bit interested in anything binary
23:19:44preglowi'd rather roll my own

23:19:59Clintsafetydan: btw, I don't think it's appropriate to conclude that supporting 2^32 small text comments means exceeding 300 bytes is misuse
23:20:16LloreanHe did mention that the Rhapsody stuff was just implementing an API, and that "you guys shouldn't need any source" but I don't know how that really works since it uses UMS transfers.
23:20:31LloreanOr at least, I thought it did.
23:21:18safetydanClint: actually the problem was more subtle than that. Or at least I think it is. The 300 only applies to an individual comment. What's causing your comments to fail is the fact that they span more than one ogg page.
