00:00:53gibbon_if YOU don't know... to me you are something like the godfather of rockbox :P

00:01:11gibbon_coding that usb stack ....
00:01:19gibbon_usb is a nasty beast...
00:01:24amiconnDon't mess with the global volume just because there's no station

00:01:36BigBambiAnd it isn't even the day of his daughters wedding...
00:01:43amiconnIf you really want, use the mute function of the fm chip. But I'd rather not do that
00:02:43*gevaerts points out that he only started working on rockbox five weeks ago
00:03:11gibbon_amiconn: if this is the same function as the manual mute calls, its no good
00:03:56gibbon_amiconn: since the "field meter" data patch number 1803 gets stops updating in this "Muted state" at least on the sansa
00:04:48 Join Theglades00 [0] (n=Administ@cpe-69-205-167-7.stny.res.rr.com)
00:05:22gibbon_it seems to disable more of the chip than the term "muting" suggests
00:06:15 Quit bluebrother ("Verlassend")
00:06:18gibbon_amiconn: is there something in rockbox like a global "attention" function like some modern car radios have?
00:07:13 Join Zarggg [0] (n=zarggg@216-15-73-111.c3-0.eas-ubr6.atw-eas.pa.cable.rcn.com)
00:07:36gibbon_this function reduces the volume by some ammount on keypress and restores it on manual volume change or "unattention"

00:09:14amiconnThe voice UI reduces music volume while the voice is talking (on swcodec), but that one won't help in case of radio
00:10:19gibbon_mhm
00:10:55gibbon_amiconn: i thought as a quick way, save the current volume, set reduced volume until the station is back, then restore the old volume
00:11:01*amiconn wonders why the radio chip should be muted if it doesn't detect a station
00:11:12amiconnHow would you tune into a faint station then?
00:12:12amiconnOr imagine the volume jumping up & down, because signal strength is near the threshold...
00:12:17gibbon_when i move around while listening to radio, it happens a lot that i move into a dead corner ...
00:12:34gibbon_the noise then nearly kills me
00:13:02amiconnstrange...
00:14:01gibbon_suddenly, noise kicks in, then i mive to an area with reception and the station is back...
00:14:15gibbon_i just want to reduce volume by about 20dB while that happens
00:14:44gibbon_and limit this to the point where no signal or only a very weak is recieved...
00:15:11gibbon_so the volume will only jump a bit if the station is so weak, it can't be listened anyway
00:15:11amiconnYeah, I understand that this may happen, but I don't understand why you want to reduce the volume... the noise isn't louder than the normal audio signal at full level...
00:15:34gibbon_for the waveform, that is correct...

00:16:03*amiconn listened to the radio on M3 today, and tuned into various station, without reducing the volume while tuning
00:16:15gibbon_from the psychoacustic side, noise is a lot louder
00:16:33 Quit fyrestorm (Read error: 113 (No route to host))
00:17:03gibbon_some private stations in my area don't do agc-postprocessing and so are - in addition to that - below the optimal level...
00:19:21 Quit DC1 ("If Obi-wan ain't home then I don't know what the fsck we're gonna do. I ain't got no other connections on Tattooine.")
00:19:46*amiconn was never really annoyed by the no-station noise
00:20:40amiconnBut then I don't use the radio *that* much, and I also know that my opinion regarding certain features differs a lot from many other users
00:20:43gibbon_the other thing is that i use the player for other things than radio...
00:21:07gibbon_but also for narrow channel applications
00:22:10gibbon_the nature of FM transmissions suggests that if you youse a wide tuner to tune into a narrow channel, the output signal will have a lot less volume than it should have
00:22:49 Quit gevaerts ("too tired to find bugs")
00:23:01gibbon_because frequency defection is not as wide as the wide tuner wants it to be
00:23:36gibbon_i don't know if its the correct term... i guess not
00:26:06amiconnI know what you mean
00:26:20amiconnBut that's a pretty special usage case, isn't it?

02:01:31ashesi'm ripping video from dvd for my iriver. i've found mpeg1 works well, and seems to use less cpu than mpeg2, and i can't see the difference. i'd like the audio to be as close to original quality as possible. i tried to not encode the audio, and copy it, but rockbox won't play the audio. so i think i have to choose between mp1/mp2/mp3
02:02:02ashesif i use mp2 with a 256 bitrate, would this be better than mp3 with a 192 bitrate?

04:42:51syn4pseFS #8647 (my 3d maze game plugin) is up if anyone wants to check it out.
04:43:03scorche|shwebguest83: plug your ipod in (make sure it is in disk mode so your computer can see it), right click it in My Computer, Properties > Tools > Check Now > check both boxes and start
04:43:11topblokewow rockbox looks sweet now
04:43:35webguest83k
04:43:37webguest83k
04:44:14webguest83how long is it normal for an ipodto restart?
04:44:27webguest83cause mines pretty slow at that 2
04:44:42syn4psewebguest83: my ipod video reboots rockbox in probably 15 seconds?
04:44:51syn4psemaybe quicker
04:44:57countrymonkey10 for me
04:45:42webguest83ok ive gone to tools and it has back up error checking and defragmentation
04:45:47countrymonkeyIs it possible that plugins will be localized/voiced?
04:46:07scorche|shwebguest83: as i said, hit check now, check both boxes, and start it
04:46:13webguest83k
04:46:13countrymonkeyDo both error checking and defrag
04:47:50topblokeI need a snazzy theme now
04:48:15scorche|shthen go get one...

04:52:24countrymonkeyGet prospectors here. But they will rip you apart if you don't wait at least a week (trust me, that was me before).
04:53:11scorche|shi wouldnt say "rip you apart"...
04:53:31countrymonkeythat was a bit exagerated
04:54:14scorche|shsyn4pse: everyone who subscribes get a mail on changes...meaning that they will get a mail when a patch is submitted...to come in here right after can be a but useless as we already get a mail about it
04:55:00countrymonkeyI thought the mail came in every friday
04:55:23topblokeusb support in rockbox works fine

05:14:23topblokerockbox now boots faster than the apple firmware boots
05:14:33topblokecause I got all the ipod games installed it takes forever to boot it
05:14:36countrymonkeyI agree
05:15:18lostconfusedbeen awhile since i checked uppdates on rockbox gigabeat able to ff rw movies yet?
05:15:19topblokenow the ipod sleeps or something right
05:15:25countrymonkeyI can only think of 2 good thins about the apple firmware making it better than rb, the fact the games are translated and the batery life.
05:15:40scorchelostconfused: you might want to have a look at the MajorChanges wiki page
05:15:43topblokeyeah battery life kept me away from rb
05:16:01countrymonkeytopbloke: Are you still working on that patch?
05:16:15topblokeyeah I think so
05:16:19topblokebut I just thought it up
05:17:39countrymonkeyOh... I thought you were writing it. Speaking of patches, 8716 8720 and 8722 need commiting
05:17:50topblokeI just got rockbox now
05:17:54topblokeone step at a time
05:18:31countrymonkeyI like the idea, though. You know C?
05:18:40topblokeyeah a bit
05:18:54topblokedo you
05:19:29countrymonkeyno. You could always file a feature request if you don't feel up to writing a patch
05:20:25topblokeok
05:20:34webguest83how many phases are there in error checking??/
05:20:42webguest83im up to phase 2

05:22:50webguest83what are some good game plugins that dont come as default???
05:23:04countrymonkey8183 but that is out of sync
05:23:10countrymonkeywish I could try it

05:42:44scorcheif you plug it in while in rockbox, it should reboot to disk mode
05:42:57countrymonkey,It matters. You do. And you should actually type before not just b4.
05:43:11scorcheno, you dont
05:43:26countrymonkeyI thought after this new usb stack...
05:43:29topblokegoodnight
05:43:31 Quit topbloke ("bye")
05:44:01scorcheyou can still boot into disk mode...not the whole apple firmware
05:44:20countrymonkeyyou are right.
05:44:47countrymonkeyBut why you would do that is beyond me. Apple firmware is faster at sending/receiving data
05:45:57webguest83any mnore ideas on whats wrong with rockbox/my ipod
05:46:09scorchehave you defragged it?
05:46:21webguest83it kept on freezing
05:49:41webguest83so anymore ideas
05:49:50scorcheis that a no?
05:49:57webguest83yeah
05:50:03countrymonkeynein
05:50:55scorchetry it again and wait for it to see if it eventually goes on

05:52:42webguest83but why isnt it quick like everyone elses
05:53:02scorchei am referring to defragmenting your ipod

12:48:48markunBagder, linuxstb: do you guys know something about LCD driver IC's?
12:48:49SSnakeyes i read it.... it says nobody about aoudio uotput...so i guess it's just needed to convert data to a raw pcm compatible format to be sent via pcm_play_data, am i right?

12:49:04JdGordoni did a sdl build test before fine

13:00:33BagderI've actually started to gather a few questions to ask every student
13:00:46Bagdermore for an interview style rather than a test
13:00:59BigBambi1) What is Rockbox
13:01:26Bagder1. How many hours per week do you have planned/scheduled for your gsoc work,
13:01:27Bagder should it get accepted?
13:01:33Bagder2. Have you built Rockbox before?
13:01:38Bagder3. What C coding experience?
13:01:43Bagder4. What open source experience?
13:01:47Bagder5. What's your previous involvement been in this project?
13:02:00JdGordoncool
13:02:31Bagderand based on how and what they answer, we should get a better picture of each student's intension and abilities
13:03:18markunBagder: maybe ask them if they own a DAP
13:03:27Bagdergood idea

13:07:30SSnakeas a student i say: yes i think it's better to ask all that.
13:08:44linuxstbBagder: What about making 3) more general? - i.e. "What programming experience do you have, and in which languages?". And maybe 1) also needs to ask how many weeks of the SoC time (whatever the start and end dates are) the student intends to work? Or maybe put that another way - e.g. "Are there any weeks of the SoC time you will be unavailable to work?"
13:09:51SSnakeeven if about the 1. it could be not so needed: maybe the student has just some freetime periods...
13:10:11linuxstbIt's meant to be a full-time summer job (IIUC).
13:10:42linuxstbOr at least, a significant portion of time during that period.
13:11:22Bagderyes
13:11:23SSnakeif for example the student has a 1 week completely free and works 24h/day the next week it's quite the same
13:11:34Bagdergsoc is basically 12 weeks afair
13:13:30linuxstbSSnake: IMO, if the student has significant other commitments, there's a serious risk of him/her not being able to spend enough time on Rockbox, and we would want to know that in advance.
13:18:00 Join domonoky [0] (n=Domonoky@rockbox/developer/domonoky)
13:20:05SSnakemmmm...i can understand your point... but maybe the student can divide his time as better as he can and accomplish all the things he has to do. I think you cannot make assumption without knowing the real skills of your student.... It's only a supposition.
13:21:20linuxstbSSnake: I didn't say such students should be rejected, just that they should tell us about their other commitments in advance.
13:23:53SSnakeof course, but why you'd ask it? i think you'd ask to consider if he has enough time to spend... SO what if he has not enough time? I think you'll reject him. If you don't plan to reject him why ask that?
13:24:01BigBambiIsn't GSOC meant to be like a full time job for the student for the duration?
13:26:26BigBambiSSnake: So the people concerned here can make a judgement if those other commitments are too much or not?
13:28:54linuxstbAnyone have an opinion on whether WPS lines that only contain images should count as text line (and hence cause that line to be cleared when images are updated) ? That's how the WPS currently behaves, but IMO it's not nice
13:29:51BagderSSnake: because obviously lots of students take on stuff when they haven't planned enough time for the gsoc project and we rather pick people who plan to devote more than those planning to devote little time
13:30:15*Bagder runs off
13:33:31pixelmalinuxstb: I agree that it's not nice (and read a few threads in the forums of people wondering about cleared lines across their album art for example). The only workaround for this ATM is to put the image in a conditional so that they are updated more often, which is not nice too.
13:34:01 Quit fasmaie (Read error: 113 (No route to host))
13:35:09SSnakeso you come to what i wrote before: how can you judge without knowing the real skills of your student? I think a good skill student (of course i'm not talking about me) can better serve the Rockbox project compared to one who has a lot of time to spend and not enough skills ( and i mean also other skill like good problem solving etc..). But it's only my opinion, the opinion of a student. So take it with a grain of salt.
13:35:47markunSSnake: how can you quickly find out someone's real skills?
13:36:15linuxstbSSnake: If a student says they won't have much time to spend on Rockbox, then they will need to convince us that they can still get the project done in that time. Similarly, students without other commitments will still need to demonstrate skill (just less skill, as they are devoting more time)
13:38:01markunSSnake: my student from last year didn't complete GSoC last year, and the fact that he had very little time to work on it was a big factor in that I think.
13:38:12linuxstbpixelma: I'm thinking of changing that behaviour as part of my viewports patch, but obviously the downside is that it will break backwards-compatibility.
13:38:40*domonoky wants to see some coding test for the applying gsoc students :-)
13:38:46desowinatheme.org has "list your opensource contributions or complete qualification test"
13:38:52linuxstbdomonoky: I think we all do - we just need ideas for tests...
13:39:27BigBambirewrite playback.c ?
13:40:13pixelmalinuxstb: why would it break backwards-compatibility? just wondering if I'm missing something, or maybe even talk about something else...
13:41:04linuxstbpixelma: Because a line that never generates any text will not be counted as a line - so all later lines will be moved up.
13:41:36pixelmahmm, I see
13:43:05BigBambiIMO I think it better to fix it properly at the cost of some breakages - otherwise we wander on with workarounds etc for for the future, and it is at least an easy fix for a broken theme - just insert a line. But then I'm not a theme author.

13:44:05pixelmanot sure if it's that important because these WPSs won't be completely broken, just don't look right - and can be easily fixed
13:44:21BigBambiMy thoughts too
13:45:58pixelmait would be an easier fix than finding unclosed conditionals etc. or unescaped | which is a problem for still quite a lot WPSs in the wiki (IIRC)
13:46:43SSnake@markun: no, there's no quick way. You should see in time. I'm only questioning about "choosing students on their free time". Maybe your student's work is really a good one (even if incomplete) and it will be a great starting point from who will follow him. Isn't Open Source about that? Take what others made and try to improve..

13:52:06pixelmalinuxstb: besides, usually I append the "only image conditional" lines in my WPS to the end anyways, so don't use them for the layout, hence wouldn't be affected. Not sure if it's a common practice but I guess I'm not the only one.
13:53:33linuxstbYes, so I won't worry too much about breaking themes this way...
13:55:45SSnakeyes, because a) if the students says for example i have 1 month maybe he will have 2 (or vice versa) (nobody knows future). b) maybe in just only 1 week the student will create some really gode code, later used by someone else who really needed it.
13:55:54SSnakei'd propose something like:
13:57:54SSnakechoose the most relevant projects. Start them and see: if the students can't create something good in a reasonable period (1 month for example) stop the project and moneys. Else continue giving money.
13:58:16linuxstbSSnake: But then it's too late - we lose that project...
13:59:09linuxstbWe want to try and decide in advance the students most likely to succeed. And I disagree if you think time available is irrelevant.
13:59:10domonokySSnake: google give the money, we have to choose the student beforehand, we cant change the project or student while gsoc is running..
13:59:39SSnakeyou don0't know. You are making assumptions again: maybe it will be a really good starting point for someone else. It's something the glass half empty or half full
13:59:58SSnake*something= something like
14:00
14:00:39BigBambiBut they have to do enough to justify the money
14:01:08BigBambiA good start is great in general, but when you are being paid, you have to produce enough to justify that money
14:01:38BigBambiAnd if a student does not have enough time to commit to it, they should not be applying for what is, essentially, a job
14:02:16SSnakeof course, that's why i wrote to eventually stop if (for example every month) you don't proceed significately
14:02:29BigBambiAfter one month it is too late...
14:02:42BigBambiWe need to know before
14:02:42*gevaerts agrees. GSoC is a summer job, with some extra constraints (only IT students

14:51:49linuxstbamiconn: Please share...
14:52:12amiconnI'm just using the plain old rockbox_default wps, and Nimbus-12 as my user font
14:52:33amiconnThen I entered the debug menu (various screens which use the sysfont)
14:52:49amiconnAfter returning to the wps, it appeared with the sysfont
14:53:18amiconnThe progressbar still was where it would be with the Nimbus-12 font height
14:54:00amiconnI guess this is because the wps just uses the default viewport, and doesn't expect other parts of the code to mess with this viewport's settings
14:54:25linuxstbThat's how it's always been though - other parts messing with the default font.
14:54:38amiconnNot before viewports
14:54:54linuxstbDo you mean viewports-in-lists, or the lcd driver changes?
14:55:11amiconnThe lcd driver changes
14:55:53amiconnI've never seen the wps switching to sysfont this way before viewports, e.g. when using the audio debug screen or similar
14:56:40***Saving seen data "./dancer.seen"
14:57:02linuxstbWas it the debug screens' responsibility to restore the UI font?
14:57:15amiconnno
14:57:33amiconnIt might be an effect of viewported lists though
14:57:45kugelamiconn: This issue? http://www.rockbox.org/tracker/task/8717
14:57:48linuxstbThen I can't see how anything in the LCD driver could have changed this. The viewports-in-lists seem a more likely candidate...
14:58:21amiconnBefore viewports, there was just one font setting, so the list (i.e. debug menu) used to restore the user font when exiting a screen that uses sysfont
14:58:40linuxstbAnd with viewports (in the lcd driver), there is still only one font setting - the font in the default viewport.
14:58:53amiconnBut now the list doesn't restore the font setting in the default viewport anymore, bcause it doesn't need to
14:59:05amiconnhuh?
14:59:22amiconnEach viewport has its own font setting afaik

15:00:12linuxstbYes, it does. But before viewports-in-lists, there was only one viewport (unless the remote counts)
15:00:26amiconn[14:57:53] <amiconn> It might be an effect of viewported lists though
15:01:51linuxstbOK. I was confused about whether you were saying it was caused by just the lcd driver changes or not.

I just replaced the .rockbox folder completely with the latest release r16682 on a 3g ipod, on rebooting I just get the backlight and the apple symbol. Tried it again with a fresh download and still have the same. Anyone have any clues as to the problem? thanks

22:05:10*gevaerts finally won his fight against C function pointer syntax (by cheating, but still...)
22:06:07gevaertsgibbon_: hello
22:06:42gibbon_gevaerts: i guess cheating is ok if the one you are cheating on is related to pointers in C
22:07:24gibbon_hello to you too
22:08:27gevaertsgibbon_: I couldn't figure out (maybe I'm too tired this weekend) how to make an array of function pointers. However, since I have two of those (different functions, same index), I put them in a struct and made an array of that. Looks just as clean, and it works

22:31:31Merthsoftoh, so it just means the device can initiate a transfer?
22:32:17gevaertsMerthsoft: basically it means that it can switch between device and host mode as needed. In the rockbox context, it mostly means that there is no host-side code at all yet.
22:33:13markunso you can't connect a USB stick or card-reader to your player for example
22:33:38Merthsoftah, ok

22:34:28Merthsofthmm, well, it seems a 340 is only a little bigger than the h20, and since i'm not too concerned about USB OTG, or flashability, it looks like it wins out over the H100 series...

22:34:56gevaertsAnyone here who could test some PP502x code with MacOSX or Vista ?
22:35:28countrymonkeyCould fs#8716 be committed?
22:37:12gevaertsMerthsoft: We don't do usb host yet on _any_ target, but it might eventually get there for h300 (except the US version I believe). The h100 will never get it (the hardware doesn't support it)
22:37:23Merthsoftoh, well then
22:37:50gevaertsSo missing OTG is certainly not an argument against the h300
22:37:56markuncountrymonkey: I wonder if it's clear what the pinyin means without specifying the tone.
22:37:58Merthsofthmm... so i should get a not US version if I feel the want for OTG maybe?
22:38:41countrymonkeyThe tone is specified. In "on" and "off", it means 1st sound. If pinyin numerals or accent marks are not specified, it means the first sound.
22:39:07amiconngevaerts: The schematics which we were pointed to yesterday are a great help for getting the otg stack running on H300
22:39:31amiconnIirc petur said he had problems getting Vbus enabled, so the stack waited forever for that condition
22:39:32markunI didn't know that. I thought it was neutral without a tone number (like "ma" or "le")
22:39:44amiconnNow I know how to enable Vbus
22:40:16markuncountrymonkey: should the language file now be renamed to mandarin.lang? :)
22:40:28countrymonkeyAt least in manderin that's how it goes.
22:40:54gevaertsamiconn: That's excellent news. So maybe we should convince petur to continue working on it ;)
22:40:55countrymonkeyNo, because it is still using chinese-simp and trad glyffs for the non sysfont strings.
22:41:40countrymonkeyI didn't know how to do the sysfont stuff, so I opted to use the most popular dialect which is oddly enough the one I speak.
22:42:32gevaertsMerthsoft: there are no guarantees that it will ever work (although it will work in the OF of course), but it might be something to consider (if it doesn't make too much difference in price)
22:42:56Merthsofti'm not too worried about it, to be honest
22:43:18Merthsoftand it looks like there are only 2 listings on ebay, and i assume they're both american
