#rockbox log for 2008-01-14

00:00:06BagderKyin01: no rockbox target is made anymore
00:00:08amiconnI think we can neglect the -3
00:00:20markundid you guys see the new HDD based player from iriver? the P20 or iAmoled
00:00:22Kyin01damn
00:00:39Kyin01but do you have that link? it shows if some can still be found on ebay
00:00:52BagderKyin01: see BuyersGuide wiki page
00:01:08Kyin01if i get an ipod video 60GB how will I know if its the correct one? do i need it to be first generation ipod video?
00:01:20Lloreanmarkun: I do like the look of the construction on it. I don't like the way the wheel juts though. =/
00:01:57markunLlorean: I'm mostly happy that they didn't give up on the HDD
00:02:03LloreanThat is nice news, yes.
00:03:27linuxstb_Kyin01: The only hard-disk based ipod Rockbox doesn't work on is the "Classic" - which only comes in 80GB or 160GB models. So any 60GB will be fine.
00:04:27Kyin01even the new ipod video 60GB they sell now will work?
00:04:39linuxstb_They don't sell a new 60GB... (afaik)
00:04:51 Nick linuxstb_ is now known as linuxstb (n=linuxstb@rockbox/developer/linuxstb)
00:05:22linuxstbAre you confusing the 160GB? That's a "Classic', which will not work with Rockbox.
00:05:28 Quit stripwax_ ("Miranda IM! Smaller, Faster, Easier. http://miranda-im.org")
00:06:18Kyin01oh, cool thanks for all your help. My iriver h10 jsut died and i need to get a new player i wanted so much for an x5 but cant find anywhere -_- so i guess ipod is the next best thing for someone who is looking for at least 20GB w/ .m3u/.pls support and browsing by folders and id3 tags. FM tuner would be nice but only the x5 had that
00:06:42*amiconn can't find a P20 on iriver.com or iriver.de
00:07:00Lloreanamiconn: It's in the "showing off at electronics shows" stage still, I think.
00:07:24linuxstbKyin01: I would prefer a Gigabeat F40 to an ipod - much nicer hardware (standard connectors, fast CPU, large LCD, capable of good video playback in Rockbox0.
00:07:33markunamiconn: I think it's only on iriver.co.kr (but didn't check since the iriver sites are usually flash based)
00:08:40Kyin01does the gigabeat have an fm tuner?
00:08:42rasherBagder: could you find the size of the largest langfiles for the various targets (weeding out non-cyrillic non-latin non-greek from the player)?
00:08:47linuxstbKyin01: Sadly, no.
00:08:53Kyin01whats the highest storage it comes in
00:08:57Kyin0140?
00:09:14Bagderrasher: sure, I'll poke my script...
00:09:19markunKyin01: the Gigabeat S has an FM tuner, but that port is not ready yet
00:09:25rasherBagder: To see how much could be saved for different targets if the buffersize was calculated automatically
00:09:36linuxstb40GB is the most common, but there are also 60GB models. I've upgraded mine to 80GB (but those disks are now almost impossible to find).
00:09:40Bagderoh, it's in the middle of the build right now ;-)
00:09:42markunthere are some rare F60's, the S60 is more common
00:10:04Kyin01the 60gb will work on rockbox?
00:10:13linuxstbThe F60 will, yes.
00:10:17Kyin01cool thanks im going to check ebay for them
00:10:49amiconn4 inch screen, bah
00:11:06amiconnBut oled might be a good idea, and 120/160 GB would be nice
00:11:20linuxstbWhat arch is it?
00:11:34amiconnNo idea
00:11:41amiconnThat's the article I found: http://www.i4u.com/article13912.html
00:11:42Kyin01-_- not even 1 f60, just chargers and screen protectors
00:12:13rasheramiconn: well it's marketed as a pmp, so the screen makes sense
00:12:27amiconnyes, sure
00:13:17markunit's a photo player.. which also displays TV and videos, plays music, displays text..
00:13:25Kyin01at least they got an f40 :D if i cant find an ipod 60GB video than i will get the f40, its only going for 80$
00:13:28Bagderhttp://pastebin.ca/854050 <= the top 5 language sizes for each build
00:14:35rasherMore than 10000 bytes to be saved on player (ignoring the useless languages)
00:15:00Bagderyeah all the top-5 on the player aren't usable
00:15:06amiconnwrong
00:15:07rasherI thought russian worked?
00:15:11Bagderah right
00:15:18amiconnGreek and russian do work
00:15:35rasherRight, that too.
00:16:25rasherQuite a bit to be saved on the other archoses as well (is any other target in size-trouble?)
00:17:34soapLlorean, tell me if my last forum post is out of line.
00:18:05Lloreansoap: I like it
00:18:06 Quit ol_schoola ()
00:19:19amiconnrasher: None of the currently supported ones (i.e. downloadable), but the iFP might be
00:19:41amiconnNot sure how much ram the logikdax has
00:19:56J3TC-Hrmm..is the ymargin patch still usable?
00:20:06linuxstbThe logikdax has 2MB
00:20:11 Nick roxfan2 is now known as roxfan (n=dunno@131.49-240-81.adsl-dyn.isp.belgacom.be)
00:20:24J3TC-I'm looking at the ymargin and it seems that viewports patch has modified the things ymargin is modifying in the lcd drivers
00:21:08rasheramiconn: saving 2-10kb seems like a worthy cause at any rate. And the largest benefit is for the targets that need it most. Now someone just needs to do it, I guess.
00:21:14linuxstbJ3TC-: Is that the "ymargin in scrollinfo" patch?
00:21:21J3TC-Yep
00:21:31 Join DGMurdockIII [0] (i=DGMurdoc@208-70-44-194.bb.hrtc.net)
00:21:36linuxstbThen I've no idea what it's meant to do.
00:22:08J3TC-something about scroll_thread becomes independent of any ymargin changes
00:22:14J3TC-Whatever that means >_>
00:22:49linuxstbWhich is what I don't understand - the ymargin should never change, even without viewports...
00:23:14linuxstbI'm assuming it's needed by the old custom line/list/whatever patches.
00:23:17 Join billytwowilly [0] (n=chris@S0106001d6046900d.cg.shawcable.net)
00:24:06J3TC-I think so too since it's pretty much in a couple of builds that uses those wps that needs those patches as well
00:24:41J3TC-Oh well, with the viewports being sync'ed in, most of those wps aren't going to work anyways
00:25:06J3TC-I'll just do a test build and see if still needs that ymargin stuff.
00:25:08Kyin01how awesome would that be if rockbox worked with cowan a2/d2s

00:26:47BagderI'm sure he'll appreciate help
00:26:58DGMurdockIIIwhat about the creative zen one are they getting close
00:27:11Kyin01aw thats awesome, maybe i should wait before getting a player than =P
00:27:24LloreanDGMurdockIII: Nothing has changed on that one in a long while, or at least, nobody has reported any progress.

00:28:18shotofaddsmoi?
00:28:18DGMurdockIIIare you sure saw a few people on forms that said the got it to load
00:28:35linuxstbshotofadds: Yes, someone just said it would be awesome if Rockbox worked on the D2...
00:28:43BagderDGMurdockIII: yes, but I find their progress level hard to figure out based on their postings there
00:28:46shotofaddsi tend to agree... :)
00:29:22Bagdershotofadds: you need to work faster! ;-P
00:30:18shotofaddsBagder: I know, I don't get much time to work on this (~1hr/day at the moment...)
00:30:40BagderI have full sympathy for that

00:34:17shotofaddsmy task this week is to read something (anything!) from the flash
00:34:26linuxstbshotofadds: You may want to disable plugins for now (the plugins= variable in tools/configure).
00:35:18 Join PPPP_ [0] (n=plui@bas8-toronto63-1096669723.dsl.bell.ca)
00:35:36linuxstbThat's my next job for the logik dax as well - I've started looking at it, but that's about all.
00:35:55 Quit ender` (" The likelihood of Perl being involved in a system is directly proportional to the length of time the system has been in mai")
00:36:12shotofaddslinuxstb: disabling plugins might be an idea. the main build doesn't quite link because the debug menu expects to find ata_get_identify() and I don't understand the ATA code structure well enough yet.
00:36:34Kyin01the ipod 60GB photo will work on rockbox right? its not only the 40gb?
00:37:24 Quit TMM ("Ex-Chat")
00:37:25shotofaddslinuxstb: I can see how to read the ID code from the flash chip, but that's about all I understand for now
00:39:21BigBambiKyin01: yes
00:40:28amiconnshotofadds: If your target isn't ata, you need to set the approprate macros in your target config-*.h
00:40:52amiconnAnd then the debug menu won't require ata_get_identify()
00:41:02JdGordon.vp or .viewport or? for the viewport config filename?
00:41:40linuxstbThe debug menu seems to assume ATA if !HAVE_MMC and !HAVE_HOTSWAP,,,
00:42:45shotofaddsThe D2 test program also reads the touchscreen X/Y and pressure, I think for now I should add this into the button driver as per Llorean's suggestion on the forum (ie. divide the screen into quadrants and use as up/down/left/right for the time being)
00:42:51amiconnMaybe those macros need a bit of interdependency cleanup
00:42:55shotofaddslinuxstb: that's exactly the problem
00:43:14linuxstbJdGordon: Why not just store them in the global settings struct and .cfg?
00:43:55JdGordonbecause that will add up to alot... up to 10 extra variables for each viewport...
00:44:00 Quit Thundercloud (Remote closed the connection)
00:44:05JdGordonor save the filename and load them seperatly
00:44:19linuxstbBut you have to store them somewhere...
00:44:33JdGordonyeah, they get loaded straight into the viewport struct
00:44:55linuxstbYes, a viewport struct as part of global settings.
00:45:14amiconnWhat would that viewport config do?
00:45:40JdGordonset the position and size and colours...
00:45:55amiconnPosition of what?

00:46:59JdGordonfor now only the one for the lists, but that could end up being a seperate one for menu and browsers, then theirs the wps parent vp... adding each one to the settings struct isnt nice imo
00:47:38*amiconn cannot imagine anything that should be configurable about that viewport
00:47:44shotofaddsIf anyone looks at that D2 patch and sees something bad/nasty/evil/wrong do mention it here and I'll pick it up from the logs tomorrow. I'm out of here for the night.
00:47:52amiconnSize/position parameters, I mean
00:48:07JdGordon"that viewport" being which one?

00:48:54Lloreanamiconn: There's been a custom list position patch for a long, long time
00:49:02JdGordondont worry... vharcell wont be configurable..
00:49:08JdGordoncharcell*
00:49:12amiconnStandard lists should use whatever the statusbar + buttonbar leave
00:49:38amiconnWasting space is never a good idea...

00:58:24LloreanIt's too bad there's not a way to customize the boot logo in a soft way that doesn't have a negative impact for non-users of the feature
00:59:11linuxstbLoading the splash from disk defeats the whole purpose (displaying something whilst Rockbox is initialising the hardware). So swapping it in the binary isn't that a solution...
00:59:21linuxstb^I mean that bad of a solution
00:59:50JdGordonbut the people that want a different logo shown dont care about the slowdown
01:00
01:00:30JdGordon7538 actually *adds* a sleep doesnt it?
01:00:39LloreanJdGordon: The problem is that to check if there's one present slows down the boot for people who don't use it too

01:01:56safetydanyou could solve it by removing the boot logo
01:01:59LloreanJdGordon: Do it. "Rejected: No solution without a negative impact"?
01:02:06Lloreansafetydan: Just boot silently?
01:02:26JdGordonI love how you just wait long enough and you'll eventually get the answer you want :)
01:02:28safetydanLlorean: pretty much. Go with the Unix philosophy of not saying anything unless something bad happened
01:02:30linuxstbJ3TC-: Have you tried deleting your build directory, and starting again with a new one?
01:03:03J3TC-Yep
01:03:33J3TC-I don't even know why it's looking for apps/features folder O_o
01:04:01linuxstbThat a file, and it's used to decide what strings to include in the language and voice files.
01:04:17Kyin01which do you guys recommend for a rockbox ipod. Video or Photo? I won't use the video but I'm just afraid the photo screen will not be as good for UI when navgigating through the menus
01:04:53Lloreansafetydan: It's probably too late to get away with that. If we'd never had a splash, yeah, but now people will just hack one back into the unsupported builds.
01:05:09 Quit moos ("Good night")
01:05:35linuxstbKyin01: I own both, and would say the video sounds noticably better than the photo.
01:06:09amiconnI'd prefer the video over the photo for its display (readable without backlight)
01:06:39Nico_Pis the negative impact of a simple check really that big? I have a hard time seeing how it could be
01:06:44Kyin01does that mean i wont be able to use the screen on the photo at dark places?
01:06:50safetydanLlorean: true, but they're hacking it anyway for the custom splash patch, so going one step further and removing boot splash won't change much.
01:06:53linuxstbThe photo's display is readable without backlight as well.
01:07:00amiconnNico_P: Of course. It would have to wait for the disk spinup
01:07:22amiconnThat could be several seconds - and it would defeat the purpose of a splash
01:07:27Kyin01what about battery, does the rockbox give better support for the photo or video ipod
01:07:29LloreanNico_P: For it to be configurable you basically have to parse the config file before showing any logo, then load, then display the logo. It also means you need to have another fullscreen buffer reserved just for that logo display.
01:07:37J3TC-Do I need to update ?gcc
01:07:48Nico_Pamiconn: isn't the disk already spun up when loading the main bin? and I'm talking about a check to see whether to load an external bmp or not
01:07:55amiconnLlorean: The buffer could be temporary
01:08:04Lloreanamiconn: True
01:08:04*J3TC- sighs...I may have to reinstall everything :3
01:08:14Nico_PLlorean: the config file is parsed anyway
01:08:15amiconnNico_P: I'm always thinking about running the main bin from flash one day
01:08:16LloreanNico_P: Not all targets boot from disk.
01:08:33linuxstbJ3TC-: Try the following - create a new, clean build directory, run ../tools/configure, then type "make &> logfile.txt" and upload the created logfile.txt to pastebin.
01:08:47J3TC-Okies
01:08:57LloreanNico_P: You're more than welcome to create a patch without a performance hit for non-users and prove us wrong, though. :)
01:09:01Nico_Pthen let's focus on those maybe... I agree it wouldn't make much sense for a flashed bin, but someone who flashes the bin probably doesn't care about the slapsh
01:09:04*Llorean wouldn't mind a customizable boot splash.
01:09:45Nico_Pwhat kind of a hit does the current patch have?
01:09:46linuxstbA "logoswapper" type app could work with a flashed binary...

01:10:41Kyin01this guy says his ipod photo is a 4th generation, 4th generation ipod photos will work on rockbox right? and is there a reformat option before I install rockbox? this guy's ipod has 12k songs on it and I want to format it before I transfer my songs
01:11:08JdGordoncouldnt logoswapper work on the loaded rockbox. file anyway? seen as the only data changing is static?

01:15:09amiconnNico_P: Spinup time of most hdds is around 2.5..3 seconds
01:15:13linuxstbKyin01: I've already said that any hard-disk ipod apart from the Classic will work... And yes, you can simply reformat the main FAT32 partition on an ipod with no ill effects.
01:16:07Nico_Pamiconn: but the disk is already spun up (assuming the binary is loaded from there, which is true in 99% of cases), isn't it?
01:16:11LloreanNico_P: If I recall, by the time the image could be loaded and displayed on disk based targets, enough booting was done that it flashed and was gone, so the patch on the tracker actually added an intentional delay. I'm not sure how long it is without the intentional delay.
01:16:19amiconnThat's a significant part of boot time, during which the main binary normally does quite some initialisation when it's loaded (or even run) from flash
01:17:31JdGordon.... except... we can stop a spinup by simply checking if global_settings.splashbmp[0] != '\0'
01:17:32Nico_Pamiconn: as I said earlier, I don't think a binary loaded from flash is the main topic here
01:17:48linuxstbNico_P: If you want to test, just move show_logo() to after load_settings() in apps/main.c...
01:17:51amiconnNico_P: Judging from my targets, only 67% load their main binary from disk
01:18:04Nico_PI'm assuming the binary is loaded from the HD, but Llorean's argument makes sense
01:18:31JdGordonamiconn: but 99% of real users targets do load from disk
01:18:38Nico_Pamiconn: I'm thinking more in term of user percentage
01:18:49*amiconn is already annoyed by the long boot time of the irivers
01:19:39amiconn10 seconds from power-on until resume, twice as long as on recorder...
01:19:42pixelmaI think one of the core features of Rockbox is that it boots fast (booting into Sansa OF for data transfer takes ages)
01:19:53*JdGordon loves 3 sec from power to music with sansa :)
01:20:30amiconn3..4 seconds on Ondio, ~5 seconds on recorder and player (all when booted from flash)
01:21:03*amiconn would like it even shorter, but that's probably not going to happen
01:21:51Nico_Pthe gigabeat is annoying to that respect
01:22:04LloreanWell, booting Rockbox from flash on H100 series is mostly working, right?
01:22:04amiconnOn iriver it would probably help if the bootloader would use the pll clock, but that would make it less safe
01:22:55amiconnIn fact even a bootloader with up to date lcd drivers would gain a bit.
01:23:19Nico_Pwe got a blog post thanks to pictureflow :)
01:23:59JdGordonwhere?
01:24:01amiconnJdGordon: How would you do that? In order to check global_settings, you need to load them first
01:24:30Nico_PJdGordon: http://ariya.blogspot.com/2008/01/picking-up-where-apple-has-left-off.html
01:24:36Nico_Pwas on planet KDE
01:24:55amiconnThe purpose of the splash is to be shown *during* init, hence it must be displayed immediately, before any such init steps like loading the settings happen
01:24:55JdGordonamiconn: ah yeah, woops, thougght the logo was later in init
01:25:21amiconnAnd since it cannot use settings, it needs to be hardcoded. There's no way around that
01:25:46amiconnUsing any other method for the splash would defeat its purpose

01:25:54JdGordonyeah, which is why we should just reject it and end the discussion
01:26:05*Nico_P agrees
01:26:17JdGordonNico_P: speaking of pictureflow... any idea why it has so muc trouble getting the track lists in the correct order?
01:27:00Nico_PJdGordon: no, currently it just does a DB request and gets the tracks in the order the DB spits them out... I need to look at DB code to see how tracks are sorted in there

01:27:54*pixelma mentions the pf pla conflicts (at least on c200) again...
01:28:27amiconnI have no cover bitmaps lying around, but I would expect it to either run and show all albums with placeholders, or at least display a correct error message
01:29:18pixelmain the current way (combining two contexts) you either have - no access to the menu or can't scroll through the track listing in an album
01:29:51Nico_Pamiconn: it's probably because you don't have any covers, yes... it should be fixed
01:30:31Nico_PI need to spend a bit of time on it, but lately I gave more priority to fixing playback bugs, I hope nobody minds :)
01:31:03amiconnhmmm
01:31:55amiconnI just got an idea (which I probably wouldn't use): what if pictureflow would be enabled to decode jpeg album art and save it as properly scaled bmps? :>

02:43:44LloreanJdGordon: Do you mean the feature that lets you scroll left/right for long named files in the list by holding left/right? I used that very frequently
02:44:07PRSo here it is and maybe someone else knows: I have the Sansa e200 series and have recently loaded rockbox onto it.a Rockbox decreases the battery life and I don't like that
02:44:20asnAw by the way, I started chceking out rockbox 15 minutes ago, and I have to say that the documentation is awesome
02:44:36PRThus I want to know if simply booting into factory fw will conserve the abttery like normal even with rockbox bootloader and app dumped onto the player
02:45:47PRI would imagine the answer is that yes, abttery acts like normal when in stock fw, but I thought I'd ask first

We're all very aware of the battery-life issues on the Sansas, but work is being done to improve it, and I think it's reached the stage where it's equivalent (or maybe better) with Rockbox (but those changes aren't in the builds yet).

02:48:02PRI suppose that answers my question so thank you
02:48:03LloreanPR: Did you actually do a real battery test
02:48:20LloreanMost tests show only about 20-30% less battery life under Rockbox under similar conditions.
02:48:23linuxstbAlso, don't believe the battery indicator...
02:48:35PRLlorean: Nay, only personal observation and impression from trolling other battery tests and documentation
02:49:23PRI should also note that listening to music on stock fw obviously would take less battery than playing games on rockbox
02:49:26LloreanPR: People have a nasty habit of suggesting the battery life is much, MUCH worse when they've been using features like Caption Backlight that the original firmware doesn't offer (and is a real battery killer)
02:49:49PRI don't even know what caption backlight is

03:01:09ThundercloudQuick question
03:01:20ThundercloudiPod FM receiver accessories don't work with rockbox, right?
03:02:09asnAlright, I just installed Rockbox. Right now in my iPod root directory I have these: Calendars Contacts Music Notes Photos WMPInfo.xml iPod_Control . Which of them should I keep and which should I delete? Also I told Rockbox to update my files, shouldn't it find my music even tho it's deep down a retarded directory scheme (the documentation says no)
03:02:29krazykitThundercloud, that information is on the wiki, linked from the ipod page, i believe
03:03:00Lloreanasn: Where does the documentation say it won't be able to find it?
03:03:16asn. If you have loaded music onto your player using Itunes, you will not be able to see your music because Itunes changes your files? names and hides them in directories in the Ipod_Control directory
03:03:25LloreanYOU will not be able to see the music.
03:03:31LloreanAs in, "it doesn't show up in the filetree in a normal way"
03:03:36asnAww
03:03:38Thundercloudkrazykit: ok
03:03:38asnI see
03:03:45LloreanThe database will index it just fine.
03:03:51LloreanAs long as it's in a format Rockbox can use.
03:04:12PRAnyway thanks for the info guys, hope I didn't offend
03:04:14LloreanAs for deleting folders, you can delete any of them you want, of course some of them may contain music or other files you want, but Rockbox don't care either way.

04:43:02Falco98i figure it should be rather easy, but i don't know the internal code quite well enough to do it
04:43:19 Quit asn ("Lost terminal")
04:44:33safetydanFalco98: it would require the database. Unless you were willing to assume that songs in the same directory are from the same album. Then you could just compare the paths to the files
04:44:44Lloreansafetydan: I dunno
04:44:55LloreanThe WPS has access to Next Album as it is
04:45:03Falco98what, rockbox can't check the meta-info of the next song
04:45:05Falco98?
04:45:06LloreanEr, Next Track/Album/TItle
04:45:09Falco98yeah
04:45:15Falco98(what paul said)
04:45:22safetydanoh yeah
04:45:27safetydanwasn't thinking
04:45:30LloreanIt'd just require manually checking it, and trusting the tags
04:45:44Falco98for my purposes, that would be enough
04:45:46LloreanI'm curious what you're going to try to do with it though
04:45:55safetydanso then it's a strncmp somewhere
04:46:09LloreanAnd if current tracknum = next tracknum - 1
04:46:11Lloreaner ==
04:46:33Falco98i've been itching to write a tweak (if nothing more than for my own use) for Shuffle modes - so that rockbox could be set to always shuffle except in the case that the next song follows the currently-playing song
04:46:57psycho_maniacdo you mean like a into song that would lead into the next song?
04:46:57Falco98so basically an "Album Mode"
04:47:11psycho_maniacs/into/intro
04:47:11LloreanIsn't there already an album shuffle nowadays?
04:47:52Falco98oh crap
04:47:56Falco98i meant crossfade mode, i'm sorry
04:48:02psycho_maniacam i correct in this or do i need to explain more?
04:48:04*Falco98 's brain is dead this evening
04:48:40Falco98let me re-phrase: so that rockbox could be set to always *crossfade* except when two tracks follow each other
04:49:20safetydanFalco98: so if you're playing track 2 and the next is track 3, don't crossfade?
04:49:21Falco98so, for example, i could have a big shuffled playlist going, and at my whim i can insert a full album and it will play the songs un-crossfaded
04:49:25Falco98correct
04:49:37safetydanwhat about the case where currently playing track 2 but the next is track 10?
04:50:20Falco98if $album(nextsong) == $album(currentsong) && $tracknum(nextsong) == ($tracknum(nextsong) +1) then....
04:50:25Falco98return "true" or whatever
04:50:31Falco98then crossfade
04:50:51Falco98i'm considering only consecutive tracks, since they often lead into one another without a break
04:51:35Falco98if they're two songs that happen to be from the same album but aren't consecutive, then it's considered to still be random, and thus still crossfaded

04:53:07psycho_maniacsounds like a nice idea but i dont even use crossfade.
04:53:39psycho_maniacif it could work like i want it i would probably use it, but i dont know how to code.

04:54:32Falco98what do you want it to do, psycho?
04:54:51Falco98i've found it to be pretty flexible, even though the settings could be losslessly simplified by about a degree...
04:55:01psycho_maniacalways crossfade except when i skip tracks
04:55:13Falco98*except* when you skp tracks?
04:55:46Falco98i.e. you desire a hard break when you skip?
04:55:56psycho_maniacyes.
04:55:59Falco98hm
04:56:08Falco98it wouldn't be too hard to code..
04:56:38psycho_maniacI know a couple people like this idea in the forums, but i dont think devs like the idea.
04:56:51Falco98why do you want it that way, out of curiosity?
04:57:10Falco98i actually vastly prefer the opposite - i can't stand the hard-cut of skipping, and rockbox handles it really well with crossfade..
04:57:51psycho_maniacI dont like to wait for the crossfade to happen when i skip tracks for some reason.
04:58:12Falco98hm.. you could use a short crossfade i guess :-P
04:58:15Falco98but i can understand
04:58:40Falco98i think someone should work on having the system keep separate settings for crossfades when a track is skipped, versus when it naturally changes
04:58:50Falco98that is to say, fade times
04:59:55Falco98because when you skip a track, you may want the new track to begin immediately and fade in quickly, while the track fades out gradually, versus a natural change, when you want the fade to start near the end, but the new song to pick up early
04:59:57Falco98etc.
05:00
05:00:46Falco98if I were a better coder I'd do it myself, but i neither know the programming well enough, nor do i know the other rockbox code that would need to be tweaked to make it work
05:01:13Falco98another change that should happen to make the system functionally complete is, separating the crossfade "mode" settings out into individual booleans, i.e.:
05:01:19LloreanThere's a faction that doesn't like crossfade being there at all
05:01:51Falco98"crossfade in shuffle mode, yes/no" "crossfade on track skip, yes/no" "don't crossfade when tracks are consecutive, yes/no"
05:01:52LloreanIt complicates the playback a lot for a not terribly significant gain.
05:02:11 Join advcomp2019_ [0] (n=advcomp2@unaffiliated/advcomp2019)
05:02:22Falco98Llorean: but if you leave crossfade off altogether, doesn't it not make any difference to playback?
05:02:26Falco98or are you just referring to coding

05:03:31Falco98and the settings i'm discussing wouldn't require any further complication in the playback code - that part is already written luckily, i'm just talking about interface/ settings tweaks

06:54:12safetydanthough that's slightly out of date as the compatible Sansa ones are no longer in production
06:56:32Shadowmiteyea, that confirms what I'm guessing, the ipod is the only device that can do it
06:56:33Shadowmiteheh
06:56:39Shadowmite80 gigs that is

07:19:32Hilikusi didnt brake anything, i havent touched the "grab more memory" part
07:19:52JdGordonwhere is the problem?
07:19:54Hilikusi just added more fields to the structure so the struct is now bigger so i guess im using more memory than the original
07:21:24Hilikusline 348
07:21:30Hilikusi *think*
07:22:30Hilikuscause when theres not many contacts the thing works perfectly, and theres a point where if i add 1 more contact, it doesnt work. it actually loads the list and shows it, and then freezes with the HDD light on
07:23:12JdGordonwell i cant see anything obviously wrong there
07:24:16Hilikusmm ok, thats all i wanted to check. that it wasnt somethin obvios i.e. something that was ok whenever that guy wrote it but that doesnt work today
07:24:33JdGordonsizeof(*contact_list) should probably be sizeof(struct s_contact)
07:24:40JdGordonbut I dont think that would change anything
07:24:51JdGordonsame for *menu_items
07:25:38Hilikushow can i debug a plugin using the simulator?

10:23:20LloreanI'd actually rather 4:3, 16:9, and 2.35:1, and leave off "Fullscreen" entirely
10:23:43LloreanExcept where it lines up with one of those by chance
10:24:17markunwell, I just do it the way I suggested and when there are some 2.35:1 ED videos available that can always be added
10:24:28LloreanSounds good.

10:36:31markunLlorean: and I'll order them by brand and model instead of LCD size
10:37:47LloreanI thought someone just recently reordered them to LCD size, didn't they?
10:38:05*Llorean remembers someone asking about that just a couple days ago
10:38:13markunThat was the "Choosing a resolution" table
10:38:21markunand I was the one who reordered it :)
10:38:40markunbut there you have multiple targets sharing the same resolution
10:38:54markunin the performance table it's per target
10:39:36LloreanAaaah
10:39:37LloreanOkay
10:40:30markunI don't need to order them, but thought it might be easier when someone wants to look up the performance of his player

10:43:34GodEaterif you run a "find . -name "blah" -exec some_command \{\} some_command_args output_file \; - where is the output file generated? The CWD of the find command, or the directory the file was found in?
10:43:45peturare those h300 figures correct?
10:44:07LloreanThere's no way those are correct
10:44:17markunpetur: let me check old table which I just removed..
10:44:34LloreanIt looks like you put 16:9's values in the 4:3 column and vice versa maybe?
10:44:35ZagorGodEater: where find runs

10:45:53GodEaterZagor: so any easy way to make the output file appear in the same directory as the input file the command is running on ?
10:46:53*GodEater should just read the "find" manual page
10:47:05ZagorGodEater: use -execdir instead of -exec
10:47:11amiconnLlorean: On small screens, it makes a lot more sense to have fullscreen versions of videos (cropping as necessary), than some standard aspects which waste a lot of precious screen space, imho

10:48:47Rheeguys, is the last.fm plugin native in the builds or do you need to manually put it there?
10:49:27cool_walking_I think you guys should stop allowing HTML in the forum. It's annoying when my angle brackets disappear, and I just successfully injected Javascript.
10:49:47GodEaterRhee: it's always in the builds
10:50:07Rheeok.. now i better find a way to make it work
10:50:46peturRhee: just enable it and use qtscrobbler to upload
10:50:54markuncool_walking_: good idea. I don't know who's able to change that. Maybe Zagor or Llorean?
10:51:00pixelmaRhee: it's not a plugin though

11:21:29cool_walking_When UMS is done, will booting the Apple firmware be moved somewhere more out-of-the way than "hold switch on"? Before connecting my iPod, I always have the hold switch on due to the iPod having just been in my pocket, and when Rockbox's UMS is complete, I'd prefer to use it. I think I read someone commenting that behavior would be changed to Rockbox booting by default from a cold boot even when the hold
11:21:58peturvery slow echo...
11:22:00GodEatercool_walking_: I doubt that this behaviour will be changed
11:22:08cool_walking_damn
11:22:23GodEaterthe hold switch is the only really reliable "key press" we can detect at boot - which is why it's used.

11:45:08bEnNsorry for the internet speak
11:45:17bEnNi fogot about that here
11:45:45GodEaterbEnN: what specifically do you want to know ?
11:46:07bEnNis there a way to change the launcher from defualting to load the rockbox platform
11:46:19bEnNinstead only load while the hold switch is on
11:46:19GodEaterbEnN: only by building it yourself
11:46:33bEnNwould I br able to just swap some code in the file
11:47:33GodEaterdepends what you mean by "just"
11:48:01markunbEnN: basically yes
11:48:23bEnNthe way it is set up at the moment is that ipod menu wil only load when the hold switch is on
11:48:36bEnNi want it so rockbox wopens when the hold switch is on
11:48:54GodEaterI don't really understand the need for this though. Once you've booted into the Apple OS - it STAYS there until you perform a hard reset.
11:48:57markunthere might be a patch for it, let me look
11:49:14LloreanGodEater: Or until you don't touch your iPod for like... two days or so.
11:49:25bEnNi mean when i preform a hard reset, i want it to load default into the apple firmwire
11:49:32GodEaterLlorean: or that
11:49:39bEnNand make rockbox open with the switch on
11:49:43GodEaterbEnN: how often do you do that though ?

11:50:02bEnN...
11:50:14GodEaterbear in mind once you've done this, your Rockbox install becomes unsupported...
11:50:17LloreanIf I remember correctly, it can be changed by adding a single ! in the right place. One character, compile, done.
11:50:47bEnNhow would i do that?

12:04:57markunno, you can also use windows, OSX and unix like OSes
12:05:23markuntry the "simplified" guide

12:43:31cool_walking_What do you mean "bad tags"? As in they don't conform to the standard, or just something Rockbox can't handle, like strange characters? If it's the former, wouldn't ogginfo/mp3info pick it up?

14:55:01GodEaterwhat size disk is in your 5G ?
14:55:09asn60GB
14:55:25GodEateris this what it came with originally ?
14:55:41asnyes
14:55:59GodEaterso you're using the 60/80 GB rockbox build then ?
14:56:45asnWell, I didn't use Rockbox Utility, but yes, I guess that's what I'm doing
14:56:50asnIs there a way to double check that/
14:57:05GodEaterwell which file did you download to do your install ?
14:57:24GodEaterhttp://build.rockbox.org/dist/build-ipodvideo/rockbox.zip or http://build.rockbox.org/dist/build-ipodvideo64mb/rockbox.zip ?
14:57:41asnThe first.
14:58:07GodEaterinteresting
14:58:13asnno wai-
14:58:21asnhttp://build.rockbox.org/dist/build-ipodvideo64mb/rockbox.zip
14:58:39GodEatercould you try using the first one then please ?
14:58:53asnbut isn't it correct?
14:59:42GodEateryes - but could you humour me and do it anyway
14:59:49asnYes I can.
15:00
15:00:03asnDo I have to totally uninstall my current rockbox installation and then redo it?
15:00:51GodEaterjust unzip that file onto your ipod
15:00:58asnalright.

16:31:19pondlifeKind of!
16:31:42Nico_Pjust wanted to see what you think of an idea for the buffering code
16:31:49pondlifeGo on..
16:31:53 Join XavierGr [0] (n=xavier@rockbox/staff/XavierGr)
16:32:38Nico_Pin order to be able to share the buffer space between several users (e.g. playback and a plugin), I thought maybe storing a thread ID per handle could work
16:33:10Nico_Pand we roughly divide the total space by the number of threads that use it to allow each to have a part
16:33:27CtcpIgnored 1 channel CTCP requests in 0 seconds at the last flood
16:33:27*petur feels Nico_P is slowly introducing dynamic memory allocation ;)
16:33:33pondlifeI don't like that idea
16:33:45pondlifeI think of buffering as being a layer above the file system
16:33:47Nico_Ppetur: it's similar but at a lower level of complexity
16:34:05pondlifeSo it shouldn't need to care so much about "users"
16:34:33Nico_Ppondlife: the problem is that currently ther's no way for a user to say it needs space immediately and get it
16:34:42Nico_Pit's hit or miss
16:34:56pondlifeGive an example of such a requirement, to help me understand
16:35:16pondlifeTo me, the user says "I want to read this file, please make it available"
16:35:34pondlifeAnd that's the extent of buffering, not full-on memory management
16:35:34Nico_Ppictureflow is one... it uses the buffering API to store the slides. If playback is active and the buffer is full, it won't be able to start
16:36:15Nico_Pit would be nice to allow the buffering code to remove a few audio handles to allow PF to get a bit of space
16:36:33linuxstbDoesn't this cause fragmentation in the buffer? Or can the buffering code deal with fragmentation?
16:37:07pondlifeNico_P: You're talking about memory management here, not buffering. Don't confuse the two or we'll end up with over-complex code again.
16:37:30Nico_Plinuxstb: it would remove the last handles in order, so no fragmentation. more generally, the only fragmentation you can get is by closing a handle that's not the first one... but holes are never filled
16:37:55Nico_Pwell they are, but only by moving other handles
16:38:06pondlifeIF we need memory management, it should be added as a separate module, and it could in turn ask buffering to free handles.
16:38:39pondlifeBut I would not call this a buffering function.
16:38:41Nico_Ppondlife: hmm I see what you mean

16:39:36Nico_PI do have trouble seeing the limit but I guess you're right
16:39:45linuxstbNico_P: So what happens when pictureflow closes its handles? What happens to the holes it leaves? Or what happens if pictureflow and the playback code are buffering at the same time?
16:39:45pondlifeDoes pictureflow rely on the database?
16:39:56Nico_Ppondlife: yes
16:40:11pondlifeOK, so could the database help with slide management at all?
16:40:45Nico_Plinuxstb: the holes will be filled by moving the handles before or once the write position reaches them

16:41:03Nico_Pif both are buffering at the same time, the handles will interleave
16:41:25pondlifeThose who value pictureflow above a large audio buffer could set a database config to allow it to allocate suitable chunks of memory, then reboot..?
16:41:42 Join Febs [0] (n=chatzill@38.98.196.75)
16:42:44pondlifeBear in mind, I know nothing about how pictureflow works, or what sort of memory requirement it has. Is it a chunk per album in the database?
16:43:12pondlifeOr just a static chunk so it can cache the last n covers?
16:43:33Nico_Pthe main buffer is used to cache the slide pics... all the rest is static
16:43:36pondlifeIf the latter, then another static allocation up-front would be best (a la system limits)
16:44:43linuxstbHow much of the main buffer will pictureflow use?
16:45:43Nico_Pnot a big portion... the total space used by my cache files is 3.3 MB
16:46:10Nico_Pand not all of them are in memory at the same time
16:46:24pondlifeAre they accessed via the buffering API as buffered files?
16:46:24linuxstbWhy 3.3MB? Is that a hard-coded limit in pictureflow?
16:46:54Nico_Plinuxstb: no, it's the disk space used by the cache files PF saves
16:47:13Nico_Pto avoid recalculating the shadow... these files are loaded and displayed
16:47:22Nico_Ppondlife: yes
16:48:04pondlifeSo.. doesn't a lot of this come out in the wash?
16:48:20Nico_Pwhat do you mean?
16:48:42pondlifei.e. picture flow tells buffering that it wants to access the cached data. buffering then loads that data.
16:48:52linuxstbNico_P: I still don't understand. All I'm asking is how much RAM pictureflow uses... What variables control this?
16:49:31 Join GodEater [50] (n=bryan@rockbox/staff/GodEater)
16:49:43Nico_Plinuxstb: currently it uses the main buffer through the buffering API, so no fixed amount. but in my case it won't be more than 3 or 4 MB

16:50:18linuxstbSo the answer is "as much as it can steal" ? e.g. if I had 2 million bitmaps, it would fill the audio buffer if it could?
16:50:25pondlifeSo does it need to allocate other memory, aside from the cached files?
16:50:53Nico_Plinuxstb: I think the number of handles has a hard limit, but that's basically the case, yes
16:51:15Nico_Ppondlife: from the main buffer, no. all the rest is statically alloctaed in the plugin buffer
16:51:36pondlifeOK, so why does the buffering API need to be changed?
16:51:47 Join Rincewind [0] (i=BnZVKLpw@nat-wh-1.rz.uni-karlsruhe.de)
16:52:05pondlifeThe current setup should happily allow it to request that the cache data is made available
16:52:12Nico_Pbecause if the buffer is full, it would be nice to be able to make a bit of room in it. that's not possible currently.
16:52:58pondlifeBuffer is full meaning that there is no old audio data left
16:53:06pondlifei.e. all remaining audio data is now or future
16:53:07pondlife?
16:53:43Nico_Plet me check
16:54:33pondlifeSay you're at track 5 in a playlist, the track 1-4 data can be cleared, but 5 (and maybe 6) can't be cleared without an impact on playback, and 7-20 can't be cleared without fragmentation
16:54:51pondlife(something like that, I'm ill and somewhat delirious.)
16:55:06Nico_Phmm actually there's no checking to be done... the buffering code only cares about opened or closed
16:55:30Nico_Pit doesn't know where in the playlist the audio code is and can't work with that
16:55:58Nico_Pif the buffer is full, it stays full until the audio code closes some handles
16:55:58pondlifeYes, but does it get told by the playlist when a file is "old"?
16:56:17pondlifeAh, so the playback code closes a handle when a track has completed, right?
16:56:27pondlifeThus "freeing" that memory.
16:56:35Nico_Pyes
16:56:37pondlifeOK
16:57:29pondlifeSo the only other place you could obtain memory from would be from tracks later on in the playlist anyway, and you have no idea (from buffering) which those might be.

16:59:16Nico_Pyes. but the buffering communicates with the users through callbacks, so it could ask a user to free up some space
16:59:49 Quit TotallyInfected ()
17:00
17:00:06Nico_Pat first I was thinking of closing handles and notifying their user, which is possible too, but it's not very nice
17:00:20pondlifeNope, best to keep the traffic all one way.
17:00:25pondlifei.e. user controls it.
17:00:30Nico_Pyeah I agree
17:00:53pondlifeSo, pictureflow can access it's cached files via the buffer anyway
17:01:03pondlifeIs it the other static data you need a home for?
17:02:41Nico_Pno. what I'd like to achieve is to guarantee that PF (or any other plugin) will be able to obtain some buffer space on startup.
17:02:55pondlifeBuffer space, but not for a file?
17:03:05Nico_Pfor a file
17:04:32peturI do hope that this lot is disabled when database is disabled
17:05:30Nico_PI don't think it would be DB-specific. but in the case of PF, nothing would happen if DB was disabled
17:06:06pondlifeOK, so(1) plugin asks buffering to open/read a file for it, but there's no free space. (2) buffering makes a callback to existing handles to ask if the space can be given back (3) playback, or whatever, replies to say "yes" or "no". (4) buffering looks to see how it can make unfragmented space available...
17:06:21*amiconn wonders why pictureflow should hamper playback if its running
17:06:35peturI mean, I do not want any available memory reduced just because PF exists
17:07:11pondlifeIn the case of playback, I'd expect it to allow tracks n+2 onwards to be unbuffered. This could allow buffering to extend the free area back in a straight ring.
17:07:22amiconnIt's just a plugin... it should either play nice and constrain itself to the plugin ram, or stop playback (which isn't really nice but some plugins need to do that anyway)
17:10:19Nico_Ppondlife: yeah I think you got it right
17:10:20***Saving seen data "./dancer.seen"
17:10:33Nico_Ppetur: that wouldn't affect normal operation at all
17:10:38pondlifeBut don't think about it as memory management.
17:10:52pondlifeThink about it as an improvement in the low-memory operation of the cache.
17:11:11pondlifeI'm not convinced it's needed though
17:11:43Nico_PI'm not sure either, I just wanted to toss the idea and see what the reactions were
17:12:32Nico_Pamiconn: I was thinking it could apply to the JPEG plugin too. it would allow taking just what's needed without having to stop playback
17:13:54pondlifeAny file i/o should be able to work that way through buffering.
17:14:27pondlifeAnd it would be nice to have a mechanism to request memory back if running out.
17:14:51Nico_PI'm not sure... it's kinda like with the FDs. If there are too much files open you can't open any more
17:14:53pondlifeI suppose the callback could just give the user a nudge, and the user could ignore it, or close the handle.

17:16:20Nico_Pyeah that's what I was thinking
17:17:06pondlifeThere's still no guarantee of success, of course!
17:17:46pondlifeNico_P: BTW, do you know why the pictureflow track listing is upside down?
17:17:55pondlifei.e. first track at the bottom
17:18:18Nico_Pno, and from what I saw its worse because it's not consistently upside down
17:18:29Nico_PI need to look at how the DB sorts tracks
17:18:35pondlifeOK, so it's a bug
17:18:38pondlifeCool
17:18:53pondlifeAs long as it's not some kind of intentional Apple thing
17:19:31pondlifeTo be honest, I don't really use PF myself, it's not exactly the best way to browse.
17:19:33Nico_Phehe, no :)
17:19:53Nico_PI agree, I don't use it much myself.
17:20:11Nico_Pstill, it's a nice thing to have and it does have its public
17:20:15GodEaterwell given it's lack of ability to start playback, it's almost completely pointless
17:20:27linuxstb_almost_ ? ;)
17:20:31GodEaterapart from showing off Rockbox shinyness ;)
17:20:33pondlifeIndeed. That can't be hard to add, surely.
17:20:48pondlifeJust a playlist API thing, no?
17:21:02GodEaterpondlife: you think? I couldn't work out how to do it with rockbox's current feature set.
17:21:16pondlifeOr more likely a database API to select and play a query
17:21:16Nico_Pyeah I need to look into that too... damn, so many things to do and so little time :)
17:21:21GodEaterthe plugin needs to exit to free up the main buffer
17:21:37GodEaterbut somehow pass an instruction to somewhere to start playback when it's dead
17:21:43GodEaterat least that's how I assume it has to work
17:22:05pondlifeCan't it close handles to free the buffer, then call a database query and play API?
17:22:07Nico_PGodEater: it doesn't use all of the main buffer, so I think it would be ok on that part
17:22:20Nico_Pand what pondlife said is correct :)
17:22:24GodEaterah ok
17:22:47linuxstbBTW, how does it work now? Does it iterate through albums in the database, showing the applicable bitmap, or does it iterate through bitmaps?
17:22:51GodEaterI made the assumption that since it grabbed the audio buffer that it was then unavailable for playback
17:23:09GodEaterlinuxstb: the former I think
17:23:18GodEaterthat's how it appears to me anyway
17:23:25pondlifeI'm just wondering about an API that throws some kind of tagnavi-compatible string into the database code and tells it to play it...
17:24:12pondlifeMaybe such a thing exists internally - need Slasheri or another database search guru...
17:24:47pondlifee.g. so the database browser can remember it's last position
17:25:14Nico_Plinuxstb: it iterates through albums, showing the bitmaps that go with them
17:25:52Nico_Pactually with one of the tracks, I think the first it gets
17:27:38linuxstbDoes the database code still add individual filenames to .playlist_control, rather than storing the command (query) ?
17:27:46Nico_PI think s
17:27:49Nico_Pso*
17:28:14pondlifeThat's ok. The playlist can be modified on the fly anyway
17:28:26 Quit CaptainSquid ("Miranda IM!")
17:28:36pondlifeThe database only gets to determine a set to add.
17:28:59pondlifeBut it should be capable of doing just that for pictureflow.

17:29:47pondlifeNico_P: I also suggest you read http://www.rockbox.org/wiki/WhyNoMalloc again ;)
17:30:03pondlifeIt's ok that the database adds individual filenames.
17:30:33Nico_Ppondlife: hehe :)
17:30:41Nico_PI agree MoB is close to the limit
17:30:57*GodEater thinks it should be renamed to CoB

17:33:13linuxstbIsn't that just the same as file-browser based playlist manipulation?
17:33:23 Join BHSPitMonkey [0] (n=stephen@unaffiliated/bhspitmonkey)
17:33:36pondlifeYes, but it relies on the playlist consisting of filenames.
17:33:42pondlifeOr perhaps I misunderstood you?
17:34:43linuxstbIIUC, if you insert a directory into the playlist from the file browser, Rockbox will only store one line in .playlist_control - "insert directory X".
17:35:21pondlifeOK, say the user then wants to remove one file from that subset?
17:35:30pondlifeWhat ends up in playlist_control then?
17:35:52pondlifei.e directory X, but not track 3

17:38:28linuxstb^ I played a file to insert a whole directory into the playlist, then removed one track (#9 I assume...)
17:39:20pondlifeWould that just pass the burden onto other code, e.g. the playlist viewer?
17:39:46linuxstbI've no idea how playlists work internally, but I can't see why the database should be different to the file browser.
17:40:04pondlifeI've no idea, either :)
17:40:19linuxstbi.e. a database query returns a list of files (same as a directory listing).
17:40:44pondlifeWhat's stored in .playlist_control? It it not just a list of filenames?
17:40:56linuxstbThose two lines I pasted was my .playlist_control file...
17:41:03*pondlife needs to check before attempting to converse further :/
17:41:14GodEaterlinuxstb: but how would that work with those nasty databases on an iTunes populated ipod ?
17:41:21GodEaterwhere the files *aren't* all in the same directory
17:42:03GodEaterthis is, I assume, why the database does what it does - since it can't be certain all the files for a playlist are in a given directory
17:42:12linuxstbThe directory is irrelevant.
17:42:40Nico_Pthe playlist control file would have to store the exact db query... I guess it would take quite some hacking in the playlist code
17:42:44GodEaterah I see

17:57:29amiconnpondlife: Doing playlist management this way turned out both *way* faster and more memory efficient than a trivial file list
17:57:50conandowould be quite cool if PF finally could start a song and thus have a _real_ use :)
17:58:48pondlifeWell that's the two most important factors satisfied
17:59:35pondlifeNow we need a unified interface for database and filesystem (on both the populating and enquiring ends), right?

21:00:29asnThe apps/plugins/clock.c is the one appearing on the WPS screen etc.?

21:02:21asnI thought about that too. What's the one appearing in WPS and in the top-right corner of the screen when in browsing ode?
21:04:42FebsBuschel_: I confirm that I can duplicate his problem with an unmodified v10 patch. I'll try your changes now.

21:21:43FebsNo, there is a lag in UI. As you scroll, the cursor will stay on 1 entry and then jump forward.
21:22:07Buschel_febs: ah, ok
21:22:08FebsBuschel_: my battery is fully charged, so I'm not sure.

21:23:00FebsI'm reinstalling that build. I'll let you know in a moment.
21:24:09Buschel_hmm, the debug shows GPIO input values. shouldn't be connected to DEV_EN

22:22:26asnLet me tell you a scenario and answer me if it's science fiction or not. I want my iPod everytime I plug it in (to charge it or anything) to check my PC's time (which is NTP-synched) and put it as it's time. Can it be dooone?
22:22:43Bagderasn: yes it can
22:22:56Bagderalthough you need quite a bit of science to get it working
22:23:26Bagderit should keep you busy for a while I'm sure
22:23:59asnJudging by my programming experience/skills, even a simple hello world would keep me busy for a while.
22:24:14asnBagder: I see, tho.
22:24:58pixelmashotofadds: there is zxbox a spectrum emulator in Rockbox... ;)
22:25:15asnBagder: let me bother you for a bit more. What's the hard part of it?
22:25:19bertrikmaybe it can be done by emulating a network interface over USB and capturing NTP broadcast packets
22:25:24soapBuschel_, I made a series of iPod video builds from V05 -> v10. What other things need tested?
22:25:44Bagderasn: you need to communicate/sync with the ipod over usb somehow
22:27:36asnBagder: I was thinking of making a text file inside .rockbox with the output of "date" , and then using the functions that the "Set Time/Date" thingie in the Configuration panel of rockbox is using, to set it as the time.
22:27:50GodEater_iiuc, apple already do this with their own firmware when it's plugged in over usb
22:28:10Bagderasn: sure that could work, but it would make the time far from accurate
22:28:22GodEater_I think I even remember Zagor (or possibly linuxstb) commenting on how it was done
22:28:32Buschel_soap: can you reproduce the "charging not visible" which blueskip describes in the forums?
22:29:24soapI'll try - I honestly can't say if it is normally visible and I don't charge during use normally. ;)

22:29:49Buschel_soap: just found my wall charger, but my battery is full...
22:30:18asnBagder: Yes I know that the time won't be 100% synced, but well, I guess that syncing it once in every ipod-mount is enough for my needs.
22:30:40GodEater_asn: does the clock on your ipod drift that much then ?
22:30:59*GodEater_ finds his ipod's time keeping is pretty good, and had only ever set it once
22:31:02Buschel_soap: he also described choppy audio when text scrolls (e.g. file selection in file browser). do you see the same?
22:31:03 Join Frazz [0] (n=Fraser@thelawsons.plus.com)
22:33:44soapI misread what he meant, then. I thought he meant choppy audio when scrolling the file list. Which is common with the iPod Video.
22:33:57soapBut, no, I suffered no choppy audio due to text scrolling on the WPS.
22:34:03asnGodEater_: absolutely not. my ipod's time is 2minutes off right now because I configured it from my old analog wall-clock, but well NTP-synced time is an extra luxury I've been enjoying on my desktop lately and I would like to do that in my rockbox too. I'm not crazy with time or anything, I just do it for the "heck" of it, and just to train my non-existent C skills. I would do it if it was 150-lines of code but no I would not like to start a project that needs "
22:35:20GodEater_asn: but unless your ipod usb connection is over in less than a few seconds, then whatever time you dump in your text file will end up skewing the clock more than it is already...
22:36:30 Quit Frazz ("Leaving")
22:37:13soapBuschel_, I have a charging indicator when docking my 5th gen on v10 of your patch.
22:37:34asnI see where you are going this, but I don't understand what the "ending" of the connection has to do with it. ( is over in less than a few seconds )
22:37:56Buschel_soap: ok, then everything seem to work fine.
22:37:58BagderGodEater: unless it repeatedly stores the current time and on the following reboots it sets it, then it will be within a few seconds
22:38:17GodEater_Bagder: ah ok yes
22:38:42Bagderand since it knows roughly how long a reboot takes, it only depends on the frequency it writes to the storage place
22:38:58Bagder(assuming that is how it works)
22:39:25*GodEater_ still thinks a more elegant solution is to do it over the usb connection (once our usb is fully functional)
22:40:40asnAw I understand the problem!
22:40:55asnThe changes are going to be written after Rockbox's reboot.
22:41:27Bagderasn: yes, rockbox would have to read and set the time first thing at boot

23:11:30linuxstbamiconn: Re: your ipod color type0/1 LCD question, I think the only thing you can check is the HW revision - this is stored in the SysInfo text file somewhere inside iPod_Control (and probably diagmode, I could check if you wanted). 0x60000 is the "iPod Photo" and is definitely type 0 (see the check in lcd-color_nano.c), and 0x60004 is the "iPod Color", and can be either.
23:11:57linuxstbamiconn: I've just checked, and it's "iPod_Control/Device/Sysinfo" and my ipod has the line "boardHwSwInterfaceRev: 0x00060004"
23:12:53Bagderyeah, we're down on 11 servers most of the time so the build time is now usually around 7-8 minutes "per round"
23:13:18shotofaddsit says 7.1 _seconds_ per build

23:23:57amiconnhcs: The latter should directly list the lcd type as well

23:26:20asnI'm probably not gonna touch the 60% of the pre-installed Plugins that came with rockbox. If I remove them, will I get a performance ~boost~, or should I let them there, just in case (I have lots of room).
23:26:35shotofadds_Bagder: what did you and scorche mean by a 'developer cloak' the other day? i'm intrigued..
23:26:46amiconnlinuxstb: That check in lcd-color_nano.c is strange... effectively it just checks whether gpio A$ is zero

23:28:30Bagdershotofadds_: it's a freenode feature that allows IRC users to set "cloaks", that is change their hostname on the network to a custom string. Like I have "daniel@rockbox/developer/bagder"

23:31:58*Bagder needs to acknowledge his own posts on the rockbox users mailing list
23:32:06Bagderbloody annoying
23:32:10amiconnlinuxstb: Iiuc, the whole jabber in the else {} block could be shortened to lcd_type = (GPIOA_INPUT_VAL & 0x10) >> 4;
23:32:15shotofadds_Makes sense.. You can tell I'm a real IRC aficionado, using the web client and all...
23:32:33Bagder:-)
23:32:39Bagderyou'll learn...
23:35:26soapasn, removing the plugins will give you no performance change. Their removal will free up a (small) amount of hard drive space, though.
23:35:46asnsoap: aw okay
23:36:25soapNot compiling them will save some time as well, but hardly noticeable unless your computer is slower or you compile over and over and over again.
23:36:43*shotofadds_ hopes to get some other devs interested in the D2 port.. it being a current, available-in-the-shops target :-)

23:44:41nanokhi there
23:45:13JdGordon|wNico_P: yeah, but no more than just thiking about it...
23:45:44JdGordon|wneed to figure out how to allow different sized icon sets
23:45:47nanoki reported some strange problems yesterday, with the sansa e200 crashing from time to time, or outputing only noise instead of sound (aside the fact it is a fuzzy line separating the two :) )
23:46:15nanoki finally erased all my configuration files, databse and so on, and did a fresh install. it seems to have solved it
23:46:18Nico_PJdGordon|w: would it be possible to make it kinda like the list widget and maybe compatible so that the same calls can be used for both?
23:46:30nanok(more testing is needed though)
23:47:02nanokso just wanted to report back, in case someone was wondering ;)
23:48:32JdGordon|wNico_P: thats the only way I'd do it...

23:49:10JdGordon|wnanok: did you report it here or on the bug tracker?
23:49:28stripwaxThe file properties (used to be ID3 Info) list viewer seems to be confused about the double-height lines - scrolling to the last item and then wrapping around to the first causes the wrong lines (or no lines at all) to be selected. Known problem?
23:49:51nanokJdGordon|w: no, just here. i wanted to test everything i can on my own, before spaming the flyspray, eliminate all the obvious possibilities
23:49:56nanokit seems it payed off..
23:50:23JdGordon|wwhat payed off?
23:50:47nanokbut i am not yet absolutely sure it is okay. it does look like it is, but time will tell..
23:50:49Nico_Pstripwax: have you seen that I fixed FS #5797 ? I seem to recall you enjoyed that one ;)
23:51:00nanokJdGordon|w: not filling a bug report, and testing first,
23:51:13KeripoSorry to intrude but where can I find the latest SVN builds of ipodpatcher for the different OSs (i.e. mac, linux with diff archs, bsd, windows). Or are the ones on the wiki (v1.0) really the latest?
23:51:19nanokin the idea that maybe there is something wrong with my own setup or i have a hardware issue
23:51:51JdGordon|wKeripo: the ones on the wiki are the recommended version
23:52:00LloreanKeripo: The ones linked in the manual are the latest

23:52:19stripwaxNico_P - awesome!
23:52:27nanoki even played music using the OF forseveral hours (and i must say, used to the eq+crossfeed, that sounded.. dull, allthough not bad)
23:55:18nanok(yeah, i know, i'm a hero, i even used the menu system in the OF, and all..)
23:55:22nanok:)
23:55:53KeripoJdGordon: Is there a BSD build anywhere?
23:55:53KeripoLlorean: I'm looking at the manual but I only see links to the daily builds of rockbox and the fonts, but not ipodpatcher (unless I somehow skipped it)
23:58:20JdGordon|wKeripo: dunno... if you have access to a bsd system its no hassle to build one
