#rockbox log for 2008-02-26

00:00:01stripwaxLabyrince - ?
00:00:11Labyrincewindows read it right?
00:00:12stripwaxgevaerts - sure
00:00:21 Nick tilda is now known as Teddy (n=teddy@cpe-66-67-132-12.rochester.res.rr.com)
00:00:44stripwaxLabyrince - did you miss most of the conversation?
00:00:54stripwaxyou can check the logs for details
00:01:30Labyrincei dont understand what most of it means

00:05:02stripwaxgevaerts - should the ProductID be nul terminated or space padded?
00:05:23*stripwax also wonders what ProductRevisionLevel to use
00:07:01 Join toffe82 [0] (n=chatzill@h-74-0-180-178.snvacaid.covad.net)
00:07:28gevaertsstripwax: ProductID in the SCSI message has to be space padded. ProductRevisionLevel as well.
00:07:54stripwaxta . I'll try "Apple iP", "od ", " "
00:08:11gevaertsstripwax: You might also want to try a different USB_VENDOR_ID and USB_PRODUCT_ID in config-whatever.h
00:09:02stripwaxgevaerts - oh! different as in, something other than the real apple/ipod IDs?
00:09:25gevaertsstripwax: yes. That way windows really can't be confused
00:10:15stripwaxright. actually how do i confirm what vendor/product IDs the OF uses?
00:11:11gevaertsSomewhere in the device manager property view. But they are probably what's in config-whatever.h
00:12:31*gevaerts found a bug in the new rockbox.mi4 detection. If you remove the .rockbox directory and move another one in its place using the file manager, it doesn't prompt to reboot

00:16:44stripwaxgevaerts - yep, they are indeed the same . will see what effect changing these might have
00:18:09 Part ax
00:18:21stripwaxHm. It comes up as "Apple iP od USB Device" with a space. Seems .. odd..
00:19:32gevaertsIt seems my "fix" for the Vista BSOD makes rockbox hang instead of reboot on my c200. I'm not sure if that's better.
00:21:29stripwaxbut I do get the "Found New Hardware" popup (but alas no drive letter). Will try USB_VENDOR/PRODUCT_ID next.

00:23:00stripwaxdon't need to ask if you can ask
00:23:01seba_thanks
00:23:08gevaertsCan anyone check if current svn (16416 or later) built _without_ USE_ROCKBOX_USB for some PortalPlayer target properly reboots on plugin ? My c200 doesn't, it freezes

00:24:22seba_?
00:24:24krazykitseba_, no.
00:25:18seba_why? the firmware is no soported?
00:25:43krazykitbecause the only players that rockbox runs on are listed on the front page. yours is not there.
00:25:45stripwaxseba - the supported models are on the front page of www.rockbox.org
00:25:48scorche|shseba_: each port has to be designed to work with each device specifically...no one has done that with those devices
00:26:04pixelmagevaerts: I could try but I know it did that before with some builds
00:26:21seba_ok, thanks people!!
00:27:13gevaertspixelma: I'm pretty sure the change I did then can't be the cause. I'd actually like to see a test on some non-c200 targets
00:33:17*stripwax tries using "Apple ","iPod ", "1.62" which is what the OF actually does, rather than what I guessed it does, ..
00:33:44pixelmaI can't help with that then... but I'm not sure it'll tell much even if someone tests on e.g. an Ipod because I encountered this problem with a borrowed Mini over a year ago (IIRC it started with the USB charger vs. connection detection) and reading the forums the hangs appear more often since the beginning of the new stack on all PP devices (remember reports of Ipods and Sansas)
00:34:20gevaertspixelma: I think I'll ignore it for now
00:34:28*amiconn wonders if/when gevaerts will fix the yellow...
00:35:55*gevaerts will make sure to fix it in his next commit
00:36:13cggevaerts: i tried 16418 on ipop video. seems to reboot as normal without USE_ROCKBOX_USB
00:36:45cgipop :)
00:37:58amiconnSome builds reboot properly, some builds freeze, and some builds behave inconsistently
00:38:06gevaertscg: thanks. That means it's most probably some random issue.
00:38:19amiconnThat's nothing new, it's present for more than a year now...
00:38:58gevaertsYes, but it's still useful to know that it's not something else
00:39:05amiconnThe only other observation I made so far is that some targets are affected more than others (averaging across various builds)

00:50:41bernzhi, i know this is technically not rockbox-specific, but i figured sansa c240 owners here would know better: is there a way to find part # for the headphone jack of c240? the only marking it has is an 'E'. :-/
00:51:33scorche|shwell, this isnt a general hardware support channel...i would ask on the sansa forums if i were you
00:53:52bernzfair enough
00:54:01LycoLocois google of no help?
00:54:24bernzwell, it wasn't, but since asking the question −− hot damn! i found something really close, through sheer luck
00:54:32LycoLocohaha, nice
00:54:34bernz(you know how useless google is these days)
00:54:55LycoLocowut? I use it all the time to solve problems
00:55:58bernzwell, i just mean putting something like "3.5 mm smt audio jack" gives many, many useless results... sifting through those takes ages; i have no specific part # of something unique that would weed out all the junk
00:56:23LycoLocowell, why not put "headphone jack sansa c240 part number"
00:58:13bernzhah, nice, someone on abi posted disassembly, and comments relate mostly to this crap-ass quality headphone jack problem :-D
00:58:23LycoLocoanyways, you might wanna post it in this thread bernz http://www.anythingbutipod.com/archives/2006/11/sandisk-sansa-c200-disassembled.php
00:58:33LycoLocoit's old, but still would be helpful for people googling

07:41:57IcedDogyou would think so
07:42:15scorcheit is 2.0, yes?
07:42:33IcedDogI've replaced the HDD a couple times, but I used the same Hitachi model laptop HDDs
07:42:36IcedDogyes
07:42:57scorcheif it is 2.0, it shouldn't need specific drivers

07:43:50scorchethose tend to be msc too..
07:44:44IcedDogI networked this new computer to the old XP system and can access my old drives over the network, so at least I have a workaround, but it's still frustrating

07:48:58IcedDogoriginal 20
07:49:08amiconnAnd btw, the USB2.0 capability is printed onto the front plate

08:13:40Buschelamiconn/gevaerts: (for the logs) You've asked whether DCUD is used in the iPods. I can only tell for 5.5G -> yes. By default it is configured to 1.8V voltage supply. I tested to _lower_ it −− the iPod is still working at 1.5V, below it immediately crashes. The code section is within firmware/drivers/pcf50605.c -> pcf50605_write(DCUDC1, 0xe3); (=1.8V). To raise the voltage you'll have to set the 2nd parameters to 0xe4 (2.1V), 0xe5 (2.4V), 0xe6 (2
08:14:11amiconnSo it's used for converting down, not up?
08:14:25Buschelby default, yes.
08:14:36amiconnI'd think that's hard to tell, as this decision is done via a hardware pin, not software iiuc
08:15:30amiconnIf it would be used for converting up, 0xe3 would be 4.3V
08:15:53Buschel0xf3 = 4.3V

08:17:13amiconnHmm, then I wonder how the 5V for USB are generated...
08:18:06Buschelit could be that this supply must be raised... we formerly did only detect USB and restarted −− so, there was no real long-time usage of the USB-controller. I also experienced some sporadic "USB detected, but no restart to EDM".

08:24:09GodEaterI can't believe we have to supply a full 5V back down the wire

08:27:39 Quit Buschel ()
08:28:09amiconnWell, the USB signalling voltage is 5V (the *actual* signals are a little lower than that), so there must be 5V generated somewhere
08:28:50amiconnI now doubt that it's the DCUD converter of the PCF, because it's set to 1.8V by default and lowering it below 1.5V makes it crash.
08:30:15amiconnSo as the PCF has no other converter that can provide +5V, there must be a separate chip that does it.
08:30:47GodEaterexplain this to me like I'm really stupid for a second here. I have a USB mouse. It has no juice of it's own at ALL. So all the signals it's sending back to the host OS *must* be powered by the voltage coming FROM the host in the first place. Why are DAPS different ?
08:30:58LinusNi can't see why the device would have to supply any voltage at all

08:35:10Lloreanmrkiko: What SVN revision are you using?
08:35:19mrkikoWhen I boot on rockbox the hard drive makes the noise that Windows XP makes when it boots on a pc. crcrcrcrcr4rr.... when I boot the OF the disk spins up and down normally but no seeking noise is made. I
08:35:34mrkikodon't know if this is important, but it seems. Partially I think the OF accesses the disk fastly tan rockbox
08:36:08mrkikoLlorean: one I downloaded a week ago. But this has been true from when I started to use rockbox on
08:36:15mrkikoI have not tried with the last LBA change
08:37:05mrkikoAniway this is strage, since rockbox and the OF performs caching the same way I think, in the sense that they load to RAM more than one file in the current folder at a time.
08:38:08Lloreanmrkiko: What type of MP3 player are you talking about, and how much testing have you done? Can you record a comparison of the two noises while caching the same playlist?
08:38:13mrkikoAniway this is a "stupid" thing, in the sense that I don't think it's vital for me :) the problem may be rockbox is using improperly (or at least differently) the hard disk hardware.
08:39:14mrkikoLlorean>: yes, with a little calm I will be able to d this thing. The problem is that the noise is not easy to record.
08:39:22GodEaterwe do so love wild speculation
08:39:39Lloreanmrkiko: You also didn't answer my question about what type of player you're referring to.

08:40:38mrkikoI'm using an hard disk with H340
08:42:25LloreanWe've got many H300 users and none have reported hearing something like this. I'd suggest trying to either put together instructions for reproducing it with an SVN build, recording a comparison of the OF and Rockbox buffering the same tracks, or preferably both.

08:57:14mrkikoBut I have the problem that I can't deermine how much track the OF loads
08:59:10LloreanOnce the disk stops spinning, rapidly skip tracks until it starts spinning again, and you can approximate.

09:20:19gibbon_i have some kind of bug with my iPod mini 1st that i wanted to verify with someone in here before i file a report... but i just saw the svn commits of "tonight" and wanted to build a current build before i do so
09:21:00gibbon_its a "turning the unit on by plugging in USB and boot rockbox"-strangeness
09:22:20LloreanWhy not just download a current build?

09:23:56gibbon_ok... if "unsupported builds are treated offtopic" applies to the rockbox usb stack, too i am willing to stop talking now ;)
09:24:16gibbon_Llorean: i guess this is still disabled in the current build, isn't it?
09:24:37LloreanYes
09:24:55LloreanAnd while it's okay to talk with the people working on it, you shouldn't file a bug report on it, but rather comment in the existing task for it.
09:25:06GodEaterI was just going to say that ;)
09:25:40gibbon_well that is right...

09:39:56gibbon_the issue i have is that when you power up the iPod by plugging a USB-Cable in, after booting rockbox, the main menu appears and the whole gui freezes
09:40:19gibbon_USB works fine, the device is accessible...
09:40:20GodEaterthat's been happening on my ipod since forever
09:40:37gibbon_after unplugging, the gui stays frozen
09:40:48GodEateralthough before our own usb stack there was of course no access to the disk either
09:41:29gibbon_the only annoying thing is, that the shutdown timer is not disabled either...
09:41:39gibbon_GodEater: "glad" to hear that

09:46:26GodEaterthat's what I do yes
09:46:49gibbon_hm, ok
09:48:29gibbon_GodEater: if you do not touch the device after it came up in that "broken" state... does it try to turn off, too?
09:48:42lst2Can I hook up a keyboard to rockbox?
09:49:31gibbon_in this case i think it would perhaps make sense to stop the shutdown timer if "charging via USB" is enabled and USB is connected

11:22:19JetonDoes file transfer work ? I've tried on my Sansa with the latest build and when i plug the USB cable, sometimes the player freezes with the USB icon on display. I have to do a Hard Shutdown.
11:22:35JetonThis is probably reported (?)
11:23:13GodEaterpixelma: This is the complete build log -> http://pastebin.ca/918788
11:24:06GodEaterJeton: the MajorChange entry was premature, and was removed yesterday. File transfer can be enabled if you build your own rockbox, but it's not turned on by default, and therefore is not in the current builds available for download.
11:25:31JetonThanks for the explanation. Since i don't know how to build my own rockbox, does anyone has a link to a build with USB turned on?
11:26:02pixelmaGodEater: so you can build it now?
11:26:05GodEaterno - we're not providing them to end users for a reason

11:26:56GodEaterJeton: there are still problems with the file transfer mode - which is why it's not enabled by default yet.

12:14:43GodEaterheh - all I did was a recursive search for "Filemenu" and "File Menu" and replace them with "Contextmenu" and "Context Menu" respectively :)
12:14:56gibbon_GodEater: took the device 80-100 seconds to reappear in the os again
12:15:06GodEaterwow
12:15:07GodEaterthat's long
12:15:11GodEateronly atakes about 10 here

12:17:11GodEaterI've had 21 resets now since I started the test this morning, not all of them have made an impact on my listening though (I guess because enough data is cached)

12:17:49gibbon_seems quite stable when doing sequential reads
12:18:00pixelmaGodEater: hmm... "Contextmenu" vs. "Context Menu"? Does it make sense to keep both ways of spelling (is there a reason behind it) or maybe it should be changed to one consistent spelling while at it?
12:18:38GodEaterpixelma: one is the reference used to shortcut between places in the manual (it's never rendered though), the other is the actual text which appears on the page.

13:09:56pixelmaGodEater: the manual builds fine with that patch but I went through a pdf, searching for all occurences of "context menu" and in some places it is also a bit confusing now (e.g. in the playlist catalog paragraph I wasn't sure which context menu was referred to)...
13:10:40pixelma...and in one place (ID3 info screen which is called "track info" now, IIRC) it even speaks about a "file context menu"

13:18:59amiconnGodEater, gibbon_: 2.3MB/s on read is what can be expected from the mini's microdrive. I get the same speed on mini G2, with both rockbox highspeed and apple diskmode
13:23:35gibbon_amiconn: i just realized that the apple diskmode on the 1st gen only does full speed ;)
13:24:02gibbon_so the speed gain i experienced isn't that spectacular *g*
13:24:37GodEaterpixelma: wrt the "file context menu" reference, I believe that should be changed to the new "Context Menu" nomenclature, since it seems to be referring to the same thing to me.

13:32:28pixelmamaybe it was just because I jumped from one hit of the "context menu" search to the next and the ones before mostly talked about the WPS context menu and that confused me
13:34:10GodEaterI'm not really sure how to improve this
13:34:26GodEaterwe could change the reference from "File Menu" to "File Context Menu" everywhere
13:34:44GodEaterbut then that starts the confusion for newbies again, since we'd have to get everyone to refer to it as such

13:40:54pixelmaand maybe "Browser Context Menu" would fit even a bit better than "File Context Menu" because it can be used on directories as well? If that should be used at all...
13:41:57amiconnThe database also has a browser...
13:42:26gibbon_amiconn: may be tahts another difference in the two generations
13:42:28GodEaterdoes a long select on a list from the database bring up the same menu ?

14:27:09GodEaterStabhappy: you want to investigate the database.ignore file

16:42:50gevaertsbarrywardell: boosted, for a fair comparison (the USB disk accesses run boosted), but unboosted would probably be useful as well (maybe we need a separate disk speed wiki page ?)

16:55:16gibbon_looks still a bit odd but more realistic
16:55:42toffe82n1s, GodEater check your mail ;)
16:55:44gibbon_U values are 100-300 lower
16:55:44pondlifeNico_P: Skip to next dir doesn't seem to work with your patch
16:56:05kslaterpondlife: thanks. I really like that feature since I listen to a fair number of podcasts to/from work, but music mostly once I'm here.
16:56:31Nico_Ppondlife: ah, crap. I'll check it out
16:56:44gevaertsBenjamin_L: test_disk will appear in the plugins/apps menu, and give you the choice between a performance test and a verification test. Run the performance test. I'm mainly interested in test_disk output on the ipods and H10 though, I have a fair idea about them on sansa
16:57:03Benjamin_Lgevaerts: ok, all right then
16:57:14Nico_Pcould an ipod owner tell me how to skip to the next dir?
16:57:18gevaertsgibbon_: unalligned doesn't really matter. All USB disk access is aligned

16:57:35GodEaterhow does one tell the ata driver revision for reporting test_disk results ?
16:57:41pondlifeNico_P: Two things, maybe the same. (a) the key combo to skip to next/prev dir and (b) the auto-change dir option (with a natural track change)
16:57:59pondlife(a) seems to pause playback without setting paused state. (b) returns to the browser

16:59:25Nico_Ppondlife: dir skip (with the combo) seems to be working fine on my gigabeat sim
16:59:36pondlifeNico_P: There's a universal law that states playback.c is always at least one use case away from working.
16:59:40Nico_Ppondlife: do you know the combo on an ipod?
16:59:45pondlifeNo
16:59:56pondlifeIt's short right, then long right on H380
17:00
17:00:21pondlifeDo you have auto-change dir enabled? That might be needed for it to fail
17:00:24Nico_Pseems to be that too on the ipod
17:00:28Nico_Pno
17:01:30pondlifeHmm, it just worked for me too.
17:01:31Nico_Poh I seem to intermittently get the problem on the ipod
17:01:46pondlifeYep, it's intermittent
17:01:54GodEaterah
17:01:57GodEaterI've worked it out
17:02:07GodEatertrickier for me though, I have to match a git hash to an svn rev
17:03:57LambdaCalculus37Upon running test_disk, I am figuring that it's measuring general speed, aligned read/write, and unaligned read/write.
17:04:21GodEateris amiconn around ?
17:04:22Nico_Ppondlife: are you sure this is new to the patch?
17:04:23gibbon_all work is done now... heading home
17:04:28pondlifeNico_P: No
17:04:34LambdaCalculus37And aligned read/write and unaligned read/write are in 512 and 4096 byte chunks.

17:06:13GodEaterLambdaCalculus37: yes - but I'm running it on my 5.5G
17:06:20LambdaCalculus37Ahh.
17:06:27pondlifeNico_P: A natural transition from one dir to the next was working ok with SVN on Friday, it's definitely not working now
17:08:08pondlifeI wonder if all of the auto-change dir stuff should be handled as part of playlist generation, not in playback.c?
17:08:15LambdaCalculus37GodEater: Does test_disk log anything, perchance?
17:08:32GodEaterLambdaCalculus37: yes, it writes a log file in the route dir
17:08:40Nico_Ppondlife: it would be nice, yeah
17:08:56pondlifeA bit like a recursive option
17:08:58 Quit Benjamin_L ("Ex-Chat")
17:09:02Nico_Pit's handled by both actually. each does a part of the job
17:09:03LambdaCalculus37Okay, good. I'll fetch the logs once I finish performing the write & verify test.
17:09:18pondlifeNico_P: Well, that's probably the suckiest method
17:10:01amiconnLambdaCalculus37: The alignment in test_disk refers to in-memory 16 bit buffer alignment, as 16 bit is the ata port width
17:10:18amiconnAnd it tests 512 byte, 4KByte and 1MByte buffers
17:10:21*pondlife thinks that sorting out of the playlist code (separation from playback and browsers) would be a nice GSoC project, if not very exciting.
17:10:27LambdaCalculus37amiconn: Ahh, good to know. Thanks for that!
17:10:39Nico_Ppondlife: the manual dir skip seems to behave the same in svn
17:10:52pondlifeI was more concerned with the auto skip.
17:11:04Nico_Pyeah I'll enable that
17:11:06pondlifeaka I'm driving and want to hear more music
17:12:26Nico_Ppondlife: when you say "natural transition", do you let the music play to the end, or manually skip when on the last track of a dir?
17:12:28amiconnOn sansa and Ondio, the alignment should not influence transfer speed, because SD and MMC transfers are only 8 bit wide (as seen from the CPU, the _actual_ transfer is serial)
17:12:40pondlifeNico_P: Let it play to the end
17:13:06pondlifeIn case it's relevant my last track in the first dir was a silly long one (21 mins), so I fast forwarded much of it.
17:13:20LambdaCalculus37amiconn: Want me to try test_disk on my c240 later?
17:13:50Nico_Ppondlife: auto dir change just crashed on me :'
17:14:03Nico_Pwith svn code
17:14:03GodEaterthe DiskSpeed page is a little unclear on how the results are obtained. Is it a matter of "add up the three sizes and take their mean" or something else ?
17:14:10pondlifeNico_P: Wow
17:14:19pondlifeSim? gdb?
17:14:28Nico_PI'll try
17:14:59LambdaCalculus37I'm confused about how to post my results to the DiskSpeed page as well. My iPod's nearly done testig and I'd like to get the results up ASAP.
17:15:06Nico_Pit happened on the ipod.
17:15:14GodEateralso, the plugin logs aligned and unaligned creates - but there's only one "Create" column on the page
17:17:49GodEateranyone ?
17:18:47amiconnHmm, that page is indeed somewhat unclear.
17:19:03LambdaCalculus37amiconn: How should we post our findings to it?
17:19:07pondlifeNico_P: Skipping is much faster with your patch
17:19:13Nico_P:)
17:19:14*amiconn even aded a few rows back then, but doesn't remember how it's meant to be filled in :\
17:19:24pondlifeI just went back to SVN and it's even more obvious
17:21:44GodEaterwell if someone wants to post a guide on how to fill it in, I've got runs at 30 / 80 MHz
17:22:25LambdaCalculus37I've got runs at 30 MHz only.
17:22:25*amiconn thinks that table should be redone
17:23:20GodEaterI've also acheived negative numbers in my 80Mhz results

17:24:22GodEaterwell barrywardell only filled it in a few days ago
17:24:30GodEaterperhaps he can tell us what methodology he used
17:24:41LambdaCalculus37GodEater: He filled it in on 4 Feb, 2007. :)
17:24:44GodEaterahem

17:25:10GodEaterI'll get my coat
17:26:01LambdaCalculus37:)
17:29:09GodEateramiconn: I assumed from looking at the table that the figures are the mean of three sizes used to do each task (apart from the create one, which baffles me completey)
17:29:13GodEateris that not likely ?

17:37:23gevaertsLambdaCalculus37: I am interested in some reliability testing on c240. Can you try high-speed writes to both internal flash and (if you have one) an SD card, both with a modified ata-c200_e200.c (remove the udelay() call that's in there somewhere, there's only one) and unmodified ? You probably will end up with corrupted filesystems, so don't do it if you don't have backups or don't feel confident in your recovery abilities.

17:38:12n1sGodEater: slight decrease in precision? I'll leave it to amiconn, test_disk is his (iirc)
17:38:18LambdaCalculus37gevaerts: I haven't got backups of my c240 or the SD card.
17:38:51LambdaCalculus37I still need to dump a few classes I recorded to it and copy them to my hard drive.
17:38:56gevaertsLambdaCalculus37: ok. I would recommend not to use high-speed writing for now then.
17:39:07GodEaterprecision's not very useful in the event of the overflow occuring - which it seems it has here
17:39:25LambdaCalculus37gevaerts: But I'll gladly test high speed when it's a little more stable.
17:39:48gevaertsLambdaCalculus37: The udelay() in ata-c200_e200.c seems to be needed on e200, but causes write errors on my c250 at least when using high-speed
17:40:19LambdaCalculus37I haven't got an e200, so I can't verify that.
17:40:28pondlifeNico_P: That was just playback.c, not the other files, right?
17:40:45LambdaCalculus37Besides that the Radio Shack near my job no longer has any v1 e200s. =/
17:41:08Nico_Ppondlife: the changes in the other files weren't directly related. this is a cleaned up version
17:41:18pondlifeJust checking
17:41:44gevaertsI would like to put an #ifdef E200 (or whatever the correct symbol is) around that udelay, but I think it's a bit early with only my c250 to go by.

18:00:46gevaertsI'd like to replace the various #defines surrounded by #ifdefs for usb states (USB_INSERTED,...) by an enum without #ifdefs (I need to add a state). On some targets some states would then be defined that won't be used, but that won't make any difference to the compiled result, and I think it would be a lot more readable. Does anyone think it's not a good idea ?

18:29:32jhMikeSNico_P: post it only if wps_offset == 0 at that time...any further ones should reflect in the accululated count. have audio snapshot it when it gets the Q_AUDIO_SKIP message and reset it to 0.

18:37:04pondlifeAlthough I'd hope on a flash target it would be faster.
18:37:47Nico_PI guess having repeat set to all masked the last track problem :p

18:38:53LambdaCalculus37It also eliminates the 3 second pause on Track 7.

19:57:57amiconnI'm not talking about hardware custom chars, but about driver custom chars
19:58:03GodEater_bluebrother: yes, gutsy is being a pain
19:58:10JdGordonoh ok
19:58:13amiconnThe driver allows 16 right now, but that number can be extended pretty easily
19:58:17Nico_PLear: hmm I'm getting an infinite loop now
19:58:34LearOuch...
19:58:41JdGordonI'm not immediatly sure where to add that step in,
19:58:51amiconnThe hardware custom chars are used dynamically for years already
19:59:04bluebrotherI'm not completely familiar with the latest build changes to the manual. Just to be sure, you have the sources along the manual (for the features.txt thingy)?
19:59:30JdGordonI guess the most logical place is putting that step in the if (size_read > 0) block in load_icons()
19:59:47amiconnI still want to only allocate soft chars on demand, in order to avoid excessive allocation with large bitmaps
20:00
20:00:03GodEater_bluebrother: not sure I understood that sentence...
20:00:13JdGordoncareful with that though.... load_icons() is called on settings_apply()...
20:00:23bluebrotherthe manual now also uses the features.txt file.
20:00:28GodEater_do you mean "do you have the manual in amongst the rest of the source code" ?
20:00:34bluebrotherbecause of that you need to have the sources around.
20:00:36GodEater_in which case, the answer is yes
20:00:37amiconn(pseudo code) if (!icon_char[icon_no]) icon_char[icon_no] = allocate_char(icon_bitmap);
20:00:39bluebrotheryeps.
20:01:05amiconnAnd loading a new bitmap would clear all mappings
20:01:14GodEater_bluebrother: did you see the pastebin I made of the build.log ?
20:01:16bluebrotheryou could check if (in the output folder) manual/rockbox.tex exists. It should contains \begin{document} somewhere
20:01:45JdGordonamiconn: you could do that right before the icon is displayed then... in screen_put_iconxy()...
20:01:45*gevaerts is trying to understand how boot-time usb detection is supposed to work
20:02:03JdGordongevaerts: in which bootloader?
20:02:04GodEater_bluebrother: I'll have to check tomorrow now - was building on my work pc, and I'm home now
20:02:30amiconnYes, probably. Of course there needs to be a check whether the allocation was successful, and if not, if should probably display a question mark
20:02:41gevaertsJdGordon: Actually after the bootloader, in main.c.
20:03:25JdGordonmain.c is the iriver bootloader isnt it?

20:04:23Nico_PLear: I don't understand. the inifinte loop doesn't seem to be related to that change and it only happens in my git tree, but not in my svn tree (even though both are basically the same)
20:04:26GodEater_you and me both =/
20:04:31gevaertsJdGordon: I mean apps/main.c. There's a bit in init() where it tests if there's an usb connection.

20:05:07JdGordonoh, sorry
20:05:07amiconnJdGordon: Also, regarding your comment in apps/gui/icon.h line 33 (ifdefing the icon enum), I thing it would be okay to cut away icons from the end?
20:05:09*gevaerts should have said init-time instead of boot-time
20:05:15amiconns/thing/think/
20:05:29GodEater_bluebrother: what do you use to connect with currently ?
20:05:52bluebrothermy mobile. It works surprisingly good.
20:06:16amiconnI wouldn't want to do that in a fine-grained way, but cutting after Icon_Moving for charcell would be good, imho
20:06:46gevaertsI don't understand what button_get_w_tmo() is doing there
20:06:59pixelmabluebrother, GodEater: the rockox.tex in the directory I built the manual today there is said \begin{document} - if it's any help at all, I could paste the whole content somewhere if you want to know how it should look (I guess mine's ok since it builds ok)
20:07:06JdGordonamiconn: it wont... the individual icon heights are strip_height/count... remove some from the end and old strips arent usable
20:07:09bluebrotherbut it's kinda annoying and rather expensive. I'm currently volume-limited.
20:07:29JdGordonbut yes, removing some for charcell only would prob be ok if they will be using their own stip bmp anyway
20:07:40LambdaCalculus37Nico_P: r16425 just caused Track 7 on an album to repeat itself, but make the x of y counter go up a step; i.e. instead of "Track 7 of 13" it's now "Track 8 of 13".
20:08:13Nico_Phmm
20:08:40LambdaCalculus37I stopped the track and manually selected Track 8 on the album, and now it's playing correctly.
20:08:40*bluebrother wonders about FS #8650 −− we don't have numbered versions of the iaudio bootloaders on the download server
20:08:43GodEater_bluebrother: I've found (to my surprise) that the link to work is still up. I've just ssh'd into my pc there, and found that yes indeed, in build/manual/rockbox.tex - there is a /begin{document}
20:08:55JdGordongevaerts: SYS_USB_CONNECTED is sent to all queues, checking the button queue for it is just the easiest way to get it
20:08:58GodEater_\begin even
20:08:59pixelmaLambdaCalculus37: is this consistent? Just asking because I experienced something like this twice somewhen in January but couldn't find a way to reproduce (track 8 would be skipped in this case)
20:09:43LambdaCalculus37pixelma: No, it's not consistent. It just seems to happen at random times. I wonder what causes it . =/
20:10:12amiconnJdGordon: Hmm, nasty calculation...
20:10:34amiconnBut do you think someone would ever mix charcell and bitmap target icon strips?
20:10:38JdGordonyeah, but no nicer way
20:10:44JdGordonI doubt it
20:10:45amiconnThe charcell icons are 7x5 ...
20:11:14*JdGordon almost wonders what the point of custom icons are at that fixed size
20:11:37GodEater_that's not an icon, that's a blob ;)
20:11:56*JdGordon also wonders what amiconn is doing playing with pretty features is!! (joke....)
20:12:47amiconnNot as much point as on bitmap, but (1) it's unification in the way rockbox works and (2) someone might want to use the feature to map different icons for file types which have the same icon by default

20:21:49*barrywardell agrees with rasher

20:25:16LearNico_P: I _think_ I fixed my problem. The error case works at least. Don't know how well general use works just yet. :)
20:25:36GodEater_the trouble with iCatcher is, it's not that eye catching. IMHO.
20:25:51bluebrotherdoes that pdf contain the manual or is it just empty / partly?
20:25:59amiconnWhat I don't like about the current default: The menu icons are incomprehensible at least on greyscale. It uses bright text on black background (on colour targets) -> bad readability. And the wps wastes space with useless bars and huge icons, and at the same time misses several interesting details about the tracks
20:26:03gevaertsWhat's the easiest way to get some kind of debug output while the splash screen is still showinf
20:26:26GodEater_bluebrother: it contains the whole manual as far as I can tell
20:26:33GodEater_157 pages
20:26:35gevaerts...showing ?
20:26:37rasheramiconn: those "interesting details" can be read in the metadata screen, and usually they just make the wps seem cluttered
20:27:01scorche|shbright text on a black background is bad readability?....it is much better than white on black...
20:27:02rasherI really don't think a *default* needs to show bitrate, id3 version etc.

20:30:06GodEater_but building out of svn doesn't work either
20:30:15amiconnid3 version isn't necessary, sure. But on a multi-format player like rockbox, I want to know the current format. And bitrate is interesting for lossy formats....

20:35:46preglowthat's the one thing i don't like about icatcher, it crams too much info into the wps
20:35:55GodEater_also, precise volume? I just roll the volume up and down until it sounds right...
20:36:01rasherHow often do you need precise volume adjustment? Apart from putting it at 0, which is possible.
20:36:37preglowi'd like a bigger volume indicator
20:36:38preglowthat i would
20:37:02scorche|shi would agree with having an actual number for volume, but it doesnt fit with that theme

21:01:19LambdaCalculus37At track 3, hitting forward makes the "X of Y" counter on the WPS jump up one number, and repeat Track 3.
21:01:35LambdaCalculus37At this point, pressing forward again makes it skip Track 4 entirely and jump right to Track 5.
21:01:48Lloreanamiconn: Do we need to have it count, or would a simple "Searching" and possibly a very basic animation so you know it's not totally frozen be acceptable?
21:01:52LambdaCalculus37And it's consistent with what I was experiencing with r16425.
21:02:15LambdaCalculus37Jumping to Track 6 in the album also makes it pause for 3 seconds while buffering.
21:02:25Nico_PLambdaCalculus37: so r16422 is doing it too?
21:02:52LambdaCalculus37Nico_P: Yes. It did it with FLAC. Want me to try with Vorbis?
21:03:17amiconnI'm not sure how slow the searches could become when are really many tracks on the device.
21:03:29Nico_Pwhy not. so at least this problem wasn't caused by r16425 then
21:03:51 Quit nplus ("Leaving")
21:03:54amiconnWith what I have on my recorder, I'd say counting isn't necessary, a simple splash would do. But then I only have ~3600 tracks on it
21:04:09LambdaCalculus37Nico_P: Playing a Vorbis album now. Will report when I hit a snag.
21:04:36amiconnBtw, I have the impression that the database became faster at some point

21:22:43LambdaCalculus37The Vorbis album played with only a three second buffer on Track 8.
21:22:51Nico_PLambdaCalculus37: I fixed that one in r16426
21:23:30LambdaCalculus37Nico_P: Think the data abort I had before may have been FLAC-related?

21:26:45LambdaCalculus37Nico_P: Want me to test before you commit?
21:26:49gevaertsCan someone tell why in usb-fw-pp502x.c, in usb_enable the #ifdef H10 block is there ? For H10, it seems to only reboot if BUTTON_RIGHT is held, which is strange because from reading usb.h I understand that on H10 BUTTON_RIGHT means "don't reboot on connect"
21:27:28Nico_PLambdaCalculus37: you can, but I just wanted you to know issues you get with auto dir skip will probably be fixed

21:29:26pixelmagevaerts: I don't know the details but on some H10s (depending on if they are "MTP" or "UMS" ones) you have to hold the "right" button to get them into UMS mode which is why it was implemented in Rockbox that you also have to hold the button
21:29:28amiconngevaerts: On H10, reboot and not-reboot behaviour is swapped compared to the other PP targets
21:30:05Nico_PLambdaCalculus37: committed
21:30:13Nico_PLlorean: wow that's detailed
21:30:34LloreanNico_P: I'm particularly interested in the fact that it's not boosted, actually. I would imagine crossfade would be very boosted.
21:30:42amiconnThis is because the H10 MTP firmware requires holding Right on boot to get into UMS mode, and for some H10's (afaik H10 big and the 5GB H10 "pure") there is no choice whether to install UMS or MTP OF

21:32:24gevaertsamiconn: OK. I'm still a bit confused about the #ifdefs in the code, but that information will help
21:33:33amiconnThis reboot issue will vanish when rockbox usb will be enabled, and then H10 button behaviour should be swapped to match all other USB powerable tarbets

22:26:02gevaertsgibbon_: it should. There are still issues with charging AFAIK which cause it to stop charging a bit too soon, but on my c250 it does charge.

23:54:06kushal_12_27_200maybe I can retry the last step from sudo cp firmware.mi4 pribootLoader.rom header.txt /tmp/sansa ?
23:56:13kushal_12_27_200What difference does "auto detect" and "MSD" mode make? the screen on the sansa said USB2.0 MSD so is it still in Auto detect mode or is it in MSD mode?
23:57:30gevaertsAs long as it doesn't start, that won't make any difference at all.
