#rockbox log for 2008-03-26

00:00:06disorganizerwe could rotate viewports dynamically on the rwps
00:00:14linuxstbdisorganizer: Remember Rockbox runs on DAPs, not graphic workstations...
00:00:25linuxstbAnd battery life is valuable ;)
00:00:40*disorganizer wants a 3d wps
00:00:53amiconndisorganizer: You can't easily rotate graphics, *especially* not on low-depth displays
00:00:57Lloreanlinuxstb: You must admit it'd solve the problem for people wanting portrait vs landscape displays. :-P
00:01:39disorganizerwell, to be serious: 90deg rotation could be easy by just swapping x+y values in the viewport drawing routines

00:02:24 Quit matsl ("Leaving")
00:02:26linuxstbThere are no "viewport drawing functions" - just LCD drawing functions. And they're designed to draw in the native direction.
00:02:35disorganizerit may be needed to do a lcdwidth-y and lcdheight-x on some target depending on usability
00:02:47 Quit moos (Read error: 110 (Connection timed out))
00:03:03amiconndisorganizer: Check the drawing functions. It is *far* more complicated than you might think to rotate stuff
00:03:41amiconnDrawing isn't done pixel-by-pixel - that would be far too slow on practically any target
00:04:09*disorganizer admits he has no clue about coding and just talks as a user here :-) hoping to bring in new ideas
00:05:07disorganizersounds so easy :-( on first thought ( @jdgordon: like making a backup copy of the config )

00:05:43amiconndisorganizer: The idea isn't new at all, and was discussed numerous times

00:06:21disorganizeramiconn: it was new to me :-)
00:07:39*disorganizer likes to go on people's nerves
00:08:02linuxstbI think runtime rotation could be done via the screens API (replacing the drawing functions with their rotated equivalents) - if all of Rockbox fully used the screens API. But I'm not convinced the feature is worth the effort - at least I won't attempt it...
00:08:43amiconnThat means duplicating all drawing code - *and* all native bitmaps
00:09:08amiconn(unless you're willing to accept a serious performance drop in the rotated case)
00:09:11Bagderarbitrary rotation!
00:09:13BigBambidisorganizer: Why?
00:09:16linuxstbYes, you would duplicate the drawing code. The bitmaps wouldn't need to be duplicated though - just less efficient in one direction...
00:09:34amiconns/less/far less/
00:09:39disorganizernevertheless it would be an easy way to allow vertical progress bars and peakmeters :-)
00:09:45disorganizerBigBambi: why what?
00:09:55linuxstbdisorganizer: No, it would be the hard way to implement those...
00:09:57amiconnDid you have a look at the bitmap drawing optimisations in the packed pixel case?
00:10:01BigBambiWhy do you like to annoy people? What does it achieve?
00:10:44disorganizerBigBambi: hopefully i dont annoy them. going on other peoples nerves is not exactly annoying them ;-) just a tiny bit different
00:10:54*disorganizer hopes he doesnt annoy any1 here?
00:10:55BigBambiNo, it is the same thing
00:11:09BigBambiGetting on someone's nerves means annoying them
00:11:15scorche|shdisorganizer: by saying "any1", i can now say that you most certainly do :)
00:11:38linuxstbamiconn: OK, I accept it's far less efficient. But that could be dealt with, e.g. by possibly rotating any loaded bitmaps in-place when rotating the screen.
00:11:45disorganizerscorche: that was my personal ping to you ;-) like the cul8r when i left work
00:12:14BigBambiIt annoys many more people than scorche|sh
00:12:21*linuxstb isn't sure how many bitmaps we would be dealing with, or if performance would be an issue (outside the fonts)
00:12:23amiconnlinuxstb: That would require a little slack ram at the end of each bitmap. The rotated bitmap might need more ram depending on its x and y dimension
00:12:35amiconnAnd what about the compiled-in bitmaps?
00:12:59linuxstbamiconn: Is performance an issue for those? e.g. the usb logo?
00:13:13amiconnbuilt-in icons, ....
00:13:13*disorganizer didnt know fun was not on topic in here ;-)
00:13:35BigBambidisorganizer: Rockbox is on topic
00:13:55BigBambi#rockbox-community is for fun
00:14:05linuxstbamiconn: These problems are solvable though IMO. But as I said, I don't think the feature is worth the effort...
00:14:19linuxstbSo there's no need to convince me not to do it ;)

00:44:58linuxstbNico_P: Yes, but the parser is full of #ifdefs, not if()s...
00:45:21linuxstbSo I think it would get very messy...
00:45:30Nico_Poh yes indeed
00:47:27linuxstbAnd looking at it, it's more than just the viewport tags - other parts of the parser are #ifdef'd out - e.g. for mono screens.

00:51:55Nico_Pyes, you understand correctly

00:53:03linuxstbWhy not? IMO that's just as broken as anything else being wrong...
00:54:40Nico_Pit's not quite the same, because e.g. a missing end conditional could cause unexpected behaviour... in case of a missing picture there won't be any big problems

01:06:46Chaoticlinuxstb: ok. It is a USB cable that plugs into the square power plug. So that may be the issue. I'll have to check the power in the car adapter before and after a commute

01:10:22ChaoticSo one last newbie question: When I plug my 4G iPod Photo in, it shows a charging icon. If I try to shut it down while plugged in, it will turn off, then immediately show the non-backlit apple logo, then the backlit apple logo, and boot back into Rockbox
01:11:18Chaoticit seems that there's no way for me to shut it down and still have it charge. If I unplug it, I can shut it down, but then it boots again the moment I plug it in. Is this expected behavior? I couldn't find the answer in the manual nor forum
01:12:08Shaidthat's expected behaviour

01:12:50Shaidif you boot into the original firmware you can do what you're after
01:13:00Shaidbut then to get back to rockbox you'll need to do a reboot
01:13:01ChaoticI can't seem to do that though

01:46:20`TannerThanks
01:46:20linuxstbHmm... I can't make checkwps fail when loading too many bitmaps...
01:46:27CillianIs there any video playback other than raw mpg on ipods?
01:46:28amiconnWorks similar to read() and such - on success, it returns the amount of memory taken. rc <0 means error
01:46:58barrywardellhmmm. the current svn e200 bootloader no longer boots the of for some reason
01:47:51amiconnlinuxstb: What does 'too many' have to do with the loader?
01:47:53barrywardellanyone have any suggestions as to which commit might have caused it?

01:49:37Llorean`Tanner: I would strongly recommend you check out the manual.
01:49:51linuxstbamiconn: I mean too much data for the image buffer...
01:49:54`Tannerlol, alright.
01:51:46amiconnlinuxstb: Did you take into account that the image is converted to the internal pixel format on load?
01:52:53linuxstbIt's my mistake - I thought I was loading 26 full-screen images, but the filename was misleading me, and they're not full-screen...
01:53:40amiconnlinuxstb: I just discovered a WPS redraw bug
01:54:12amiconnIt looks like that on track change, the whole display is cleared, so that the status bar disappears for a fraction of a second
01:54:43linuxstbDo you think that's new? I've a feeling I've seen that in the past (but may be mistaken)
01:54:45amiconnHappens on main & remote, in parallel. Observed on X5
01:54:55amiconnNever observed it before
01:55:48linuxstbNo, you're right, I think I've added an lcd_clear_viewport() for each viewport, and the default viewport includes the statusbar area (with a ymargin) - that needs fixing.
01:56:09`TannerIf an ipod nano is set up for a mac, is there any way to change that to pc ?
01:56:14amiconnYou didn't test a wps with the statusbar enabled, did you?
01:56:40Llorean`Tanner: Restore with a PC version of iTunes, or follow the conversion instructions in our wiki
01:57:00amiconnAlso, the wps code used to just redraw the parts which needed redraw, saving resources this way...
01:57:01`TannerThanks Llorean. You've been a great help.
01:57:02linuxstbI did, but not patiently enough to wait for track changes. Early versions of my patch had bugs when the statusbar was enabled/disabled.
01:58:43linuxstbamiconn: I don't really understand the drawing code in the WPS, but will need to if I continue with my statusbar patch. So I'll definitely try and make it more efficient if I continue work on it.
01:59:34linuxstbAny idea when the partial redraw was removed? i.e. was it at the time of any particular change/new feature?

02:06:29LloreanCillian: Well, loader2 isn't our software. If it's stopping while in loader2, I suggest you try our loader and see if everything works.
02:07:22CillianI realise that, I was just wondering if it was something someone else had come across (Since it's the rockbox update that triggered it)
02:09:04linuxstbCillian: If you're running a very old loader2 (and were also running an older version of Rockbox), you should update loader2 as well. Or as Llorean suggested, just use the Rockbox bootloader.

02:09:57CillianIt is indeed an ancient loader2
02:10:46Cillian* has an idea *

02:29:50barrywardelllooks like the bootloader problem came about with r16259 - disabling the hardware in PP502x
02:30:25linuxstbWhat bootloader problem?
02:31:51CillianGod, downloading 400KB files is painful
02:34:38barrywardelllinuxstb: the sansa bootloaders don't load the of any more
02:35:03barrywardellI've tracked it down to that commit
02:35:34*linuxstb recalls asking if anyone had tested the bootloaders when that commit was made...
02:37:40barrywardellthe hardware should probably not be disabled in the bootloader. much better to do it when rockbox starts up
02:38:01barrywardellor is that what it does already? I'm only just catching up with the changes now

02:39:59linuxstbCillian: I can't remember if that's expected, but why would you want to load an old Rockbox?
02:40:40CillianSince the new one doesn't work either
02:40:42Cillian:P
02:40:58barrywardellJdGordon: reverting to r16258 makes everything work fine again. there's a lot of changes to look at it r16259 though
02:41:09CillianAha
02:41:23CillianLooks like the new loader2 doesn't use 8.3 filesnames anymore - old one did

05:01:09Garbanianand im still getting the weird theme thing

05:01:25scorchea few things:

05:02:02scorchefirst off...please write you complete thoughts...it is much harder to read when you have 7 different lines in a row
05:02:26GarbanianSorry >_>
05:02:36scorchesecondly...please try and explain things in greater detail and referencing what actually happens instead of "the weird thing
05:02:44scorchethirdly, which guide are you referring to?
05:04:33GarbanianOkay....Well i downloaded the 30 gig rockbox, from the site. Unzipped it to the desktop, and went to the guide at http://download.rockbox.org/manual/rockbox-ipodvideo/rockbox-build.html which i follwed the manual install. I copied and pasted the .rockbox to the drive in which my iPod is located. Then copied the voices to the iPod and then executed the bootloader. I rebooted the iPod, and rockbox-
05:05:42scorcheit got cut off at "the iPod, and rockbox-", but thanks a bunch for writing it out :)
05:06:17Garbanianloaded fine. The skin for the ipod looked amazing. Then i got the songs in there, it told me to reboot again to do something (not sure), so i did, and when this happened the skin went to like...(ill take a pick just read your comment, i put the - to continue it) a skin that...basically shouldnt be there.
05:07:01scorchewhat did this "skin" look like?...as in what made it stand out?
05:07:13Garbanianim taking a pic now
05:07:22scorcheah...alright
05:07:26Garbaniancause even reinstalling wont get it back to the rockbox original
05:07:55A-4and changing the theme in the settings doesnt work either?
05:08:03GarbanianDunno...?
05:08:20GarbanianLemme take a pic of all the themes then
05:09:14scorcheGarbanian: first, could you shut the ipod off, turn it on, and then flip the hold switch on while it boots?
05:09:58cool_walking_scorche: maybe expand a little on that, since that could get you into the Apple firmware, or Rockbox with cleared settings.
05:10:53cool_walking_Depending on when you flick the switch.

05:15:51Garbanianthey've been helping me, i just said that as an update for why it was taking so long.
05:15:59cool_walking_Yes, but unnecessary chatter clogs the logs (this channel is logged).
05:16:58GarbanianWell either way, i found an alternate way, ssed the pics, all them basically look the same, but 1 is yellow, not white.

05:17:32AJG983If I am running rockbox on a sansa e260 and i go to plug it in via usb to my pc while playing a song to charge the battery, is it supposed to turn off and just have the wheel light up blue while the screen remains black? I thought it was possible to plug the player in while running rockbox and not have it automatically power off.
05:19:00scorcheGarbanian: does the theme change when you click on the items under browse themes?
05:19:07A-4Garbanian: select cabbiev2 as theme, it's the default
05:19:23Garbanianeach one of those is a diff theme, only 1 changes color, to yellow, but that didnt save
05:20:22AJG983anyone?
05:20:59scorcheGarbanian: could you try as i said before? with the hold button?
05:21:33Garbanianturn it on like hold the play pause button, or hold menu + select?
05:21:43cool_walking_scorche: you didn't say _when_ to flick the hold switch on. flicking it on at different times will get you either into the Apple firmware, or cleared settings in Rockbox.
05:22:10scorchecool_walking_: i am well aware, but it is simple to say "try it again a bit later"
05:22:49scorcheGarbanian: turn it off by holding play/pause; turn it on; flick the hold switch on
05:23:20 Quit AJG983 ("CGI:IRC (EOF)")
05:24:01GarbanianI got to the normal iTunes look
05:25:20scorcheok...then reset with holding menu and select, and then turn it on again a bit later...right when you see the rockbox name if you can
05:25:55Garbanianshould it say cleared?
05:26:03scorcheyes
05:26:26Garbanianthen i think i win, should i just boot it up as normal?
05:26:37scorcheyes
05:26:52scorchedo you get the "regular look" again?

07:51:53LloreanLike, the scroll bar, or do you mean like the button bar?
07:52:33JdGordonstatus/button bars
07:53:01LloreanWell...
07:53:17Lloreanlinuxstb is working on a solution for the status bar, I think.

07:53:40JdGordontrue
07:53:47LloreanBut honestly, I don't mind if they're locked in place for now, while the list itself is movable.
07:54:09LloreanUsers who want to use up a lot of the screen with backdrops will turn off the status bar (or incorporate it), and will be on a non-button-bar target anyway
07:54:28JdGordonyeah
07:55:38*JdGordon would rather a statusbar "wps" seperate from the wps "wps" than a single .wps for both
07:55:48LloreanWhy?
07:56:01JdGordonfix up the parser to handle that, then making the fm wpsable should be simple

08:00:46JdGordondone
08:02:01LloreanJdGordon: Yeah, but ignoring that, is there a reason against linuxstb's method? I really like the fact that it means you can incorporate playback elements into the List (though it's still lacking for conditional viewports)
08:02:47JdGordonno, that screeny I saw looked great
08:03:25JdGordonits gonna be a fairly big ram hit though (doing it the way id rather)
08:04:21 Join pondlife [50] (n=Steve@rockbox/developer/pondlife)
08:04:41LloreanI mean I'd want a "status bar" up top, and a "playback status" at the bottom, which disappears and returns the space to the list if playback is stopped. But that's just me and how I'd design my list viewports, and illustrates a couple extra features it'd need to have to meet my "ideal"
08:04:47JdGordonjhMikeS: have you got any plans for radio.c? seems you were the last to fiddle in it (with a big TODO added...)
08:05:09JdGordonoh, you want both? that would be good too
08:05:28LloreanUp top would display "Time, Date, Battery, Volume" and maybe other things.
08:05:46LloreanAt the bottom would be "Now Playing" alternating between Artist and Title and "Playlist Position"
08:06:00LloreanThen the Now Playing stuff would be conditional, if playback was stopped no need to display "Nothing"
08:09:21*JdGordon wonders why swcodec doesnt have peakmeters on the fm screen
08:12:51PhreaddeJdGordon: Thanks - I've confirmed success with a new browser session.
08:17:36LloreanJdGordon: I would guess because nobody's bothered? In playback, it tells you if you're clipping (something you can fix), in Recording, it tells you if you're clipping (something you can fix). In FM, it tells you the station operators are clueless (not much you can do about it).
08:18:13GodEaterhas anyone complained about further breakage to the playback on ipods (g5.5 specifically) sometime between late last week and now ?
08:18:32pondlifeGodEater: What kind of breakage?
08:18:54JdGordonLlorean: hehe, well i was more asking because the screen is boooring
08:19:04LloreanJdGordon: VERY boring, yes.
08:19:08GodEaterlike it was for a while after the spinlock change went in originally
08:19:18GodEateri.e. lots of cutting out when you first turn on
08:19:27LloreanGodEater: Does it go away, though, and never come back?
08:19:33GodEateronly now, it does that on every folder change, not just while dircache
08:19:38pondlifeHmm, I've not seen that on my targets recently. I did before.
08:19:41GodEater+is building
08:19:56GodEaterLlorean: not really no
08:19:57 Quit Phreadde ("CGI:IRC (EOF)")
08:19:59pondlifeSo, not directly disk access related?
08:20:15pondlifei.e. once dircache has built, folder changes should need disk access...
08:20:25LloreanGodEater: jhMikeS made a recentish change on how priority is assigned for playback, which made my UI more responsive on my Sansa (and suggests then that playback gets less juice)
08:20:26GodEateryes
08:20:27pondlifes/should/shouldn't
08:20:43GodEaterLlorean: I wondered if that might be the change that did it
08:20:54GodEaterunfortunately I no longer have svn access from work
08:21:02GodEaterso I can't test a build immediately prior
08:21:11pondlifeThat *is* unfortunate.
08:21:26pondlifeI can make a build for you, if you want.
08:21:31LloreanIt does sound kinda odd though, if it's happening even when dircache is built, etc.
08:21:56GodEaterpondlife: I'd be happy to test if you did
08:22:25pondlifeGive me a while to test/revert some stuff, should have a build by 9am
08:22:33GodEaterno problem
08:22:42pondlife80GB?
08:22:49GodEateryup
08:27:31amiconnJdGordon: That's rather obvious. Swcodec doesn't record from the fm screen, hence can't have peakmeters in that screen. In order to show peakmeters, you need to record the data
08:27:52JdGordonarnt they tied to line out?
08:28:00JdGordonlike the wps....
08:28:20amiconnThere is no CPU visible line out data with fm
08:28:32JdGordonah
08:28:34JdGordonrighto
08:28:45amiconnThe fm radio signal is just mixed into the analog signal path

08:29:03*GodEater discovers the "Introduce yourself" mentors thread in his inbox, and wonders how long it will take to read.
08:29:19amiconnThe archoses with radio (fm recorder and Ondio fm) put the MAS into recording mode as soon as the fm screen is enetred
08:31:54amiconnSo if you also have prerecording enabled, you can always record your favourite songs. The drawback is that the MAS sucks more battery power this way, so if you really just want to listen to the radio, battery runtime is shorter than it could be
08:32:42 Quit BigBambi (Remote closed the connection)
08:32:52amiconnI will change that eventually, so that recording is only enabled in the fm screen if prerecording is enabled (maybe with a separate "prerecord fm" setting?)
08:34:12amiconnWe can even save more battery power on archos this way. While the MAS is a single chip, its components can be switched on and off separately, and for fm radio, we only need the audiocodec. The dsp core can be switched off
08:38:15amiconnJdGordon: Btw, should your (red-delta-) commit fix the button bar problem?

08:50:06jhMikeSGodEater: I did have someone test the mutex after a small but deep bug was corrected an the overall buffering speed was just as good as the rollback but it was mentioned that initial playback could break up. I think any real fix has to be at the buffering level.

08:54:55*jhMikeS thinks the buffering chunk should go back to 32KB since the codec dominates too much with it yielding less in dsp.c
08:56:17MauritzAnybody else seeing a complete lockup the moment you start playing any music on an IPod (Both my 5.5G 80GB and my Nano have the same problem). This started happening when I updated from Subversion today (Yesterday the build was fine).
08:56:58MauritzI need to do a full reset to get out of it.
08:57:19amiconnDid you do a full rebuild? jhMikeS' commit of yesterday seems to require that
08:57:39*amiconn got an IllInstr yesterday when forgetting to do that for X5
08:57:56MauritzOh, ok. No I didn't I just did a make. Thanks for the tip. I'll get back to you after I've tried it.

09:14:19JdGordonhmm... maybe not
09:16:42amiconnLinusN: I observed a weird effect regarding the iaudio LCD remote.
09:16:49LinusNoh?
09:17:28amiconnWhen I pull my M3 remote from the M3 while music is playing, and the plug it back in, everything works like it should (both in rockbox and the OF)
09:18:19amiconnBut when I use the X5 remote (which should be electrically identical) on my M3, the M3 powers off immediately when I plug it back in
09:18:47amiconnWhen the X5 remote is plugged from the start, everything is okay. That also happens both in rockbox and the M3 OF.
09:18:56JdGordonamiconn: do _any_ lists not have the button bar?
09:19:00amiconnOn the X5, I can use either remote without such effects
09:20:02jhMikeSa slight difference in connector shape?
09:20:04amiconnJdGordon: Iirc the debug menu didn't have a button bar. It could as well have one, but then the button labels would need to be adjusted of course
09:20:39LinusNamiconn: interesting indeed
09:21:18amiconnThe button bar labels are something that needs rework anyway. The labels should reflect what the buttons actually do (that's what they are for), but somethimes they don't
09:21:56amiconnI think this is because there aren't many devs with a soft-button target nowadays :/
09:22:40amiconnjhMikeS: The remote connectors are exactly the same among M3, M5 and X5
09:23:02peturmaybe the soft-button concept will come back with touch-screen devices...
09:23:10*amiconn didn't test re-plug behaviour on M5 yet
09:23:21amiconnpetur: That might in fact be a good idea...

12:02:50JdGordonthe reason id3.c is in firmware is because mpeg.c needs it right? well.. as a quick hack to move it, couldnt apps set the required function pointers to get around the firware->apps problem?

12:04:30amiconnmarkun: Note that I said *current*. When you look at mpeg.c, you'll see that it's tied to the hardware, i.e. it is firmware code
12:04:50markunJdGordon: maybe not. I just googled a bit and found this post, but didn't read it carefully: http://forums.rockbox.org/index.php?topic=15267.msg114192
12:04:54amiconnThe proper solution would be to attempt engine unification - which requires new code at the firmware layer
12:05:08amiconnAlso note that mpeg.c handles *both* playback and recording
12:05:57linuxstb_amiconn: But you can equally argue that the id3 code belongs in apps... IMO a better compromise would be to have some MAS-specific code (if it has to be) in apps/, rather than id3 metadata parsing in firmware/.
12:06:25markunJdGordon: yes, it's the TCC7801 just like the D2
12:07:16linuxstb_amiconn: And it could be a start towards unification - i.e. abstracting the hardware playback/recording code a little.

12:39:51*GodEater thinks it should get moved to the GSoC project ideas list immediately
12:40:04linuxstbRecording to RAM only, with MP3 compression would be nice for those targets with lots of RAM
12:40:48pixelmaand I'd also like the way the prerecording time is shown in the hwcodec FM screen everywhere else (counting up as it's buffering until it reached the set prerecording time, so you know when it reached "full" state)
12:41:39*petur wonders if it would be usefull to increase the pre-rec time
12:41:42linuxstbGodEater: I think it would make a decent SoC project - it's far from trivial...
12:41:47pixelmaif you do FM recordings it's much more convenient to do so from the FM screen - you can even change stations

13:40:02linuxstbJust default like now.
13:40:03pixelmalinuxstb: I don't know, guess it could help if people have too many images and don't know that they do. If anything can make a WPS fall back to the built-in one it's sometimes harder to find the real reason(s). I know those WPSs are broken but it helped me more to see a broken image (or the broken WPS before this fall-back mechanism was invented). Could be that it's a bit different for me in comparison to those who hit the buffer limit and that wa
13:40:41linuxstbpixelma: Then you need checkwps ;) The intention is for that to give you more useful feedback about the problems.
13:40:49disorganizerlinuxstb: would it be hard to make it give out some kind of error message instead of defaulting? like "missing conditional" or in this case "too many images"
13:41:15linuxstbdisorganizer: Yes - we don't want to have to store all those error strings in Rockbox (and translate/voice them...)
13:41:42disorganizeryou got a point. maybe instead of defaulting just display a text "error in wps, use checkwps to verify"
13:41:57Lloreandisorganizer: There's a PC-side tool that uses the exact same code Rockbox does. If Rockbox won't display the WPS, then the PC side tool will give you a more helpful error message.
13:42:14pixelmadisorganizer has a point. It would be real nice if there was at least *some* notice that loading the WPS failed (look at all the questions in the forums or here of people who try to load broken themes/WPSs and don't know what's going on)
13:42:42linuxstbYes, a basic "WPS error" message could be nice.
13:42:50Nico_PI agree
13:42:52disorganizerproblem imho is that people do come here often with the question "the default wps shows if i load this and that theme". if they get any error message pointing in the right direction this could pevent channel-floods :-)
13:42:55disorganizer+r
13:43:33disorganizeri wouldnt even show any default wps then. or add the text to the default wps any ONLY show it on error :-)
13:43:40disorganizera kind of "error-wps"
13:43:59pondlifeGood idea..
13:44:05linuxstbdisorganizer: That's because of all these nasty unofficial builds and unofficial themes everywhere.... ;) i.e. things others have done to make life hard for users.
13:44:33*linuxstb is looking forward to the new rockbox-themes.org
13:44:45disorganizeryes, but also many changes in the wps syntax lately :-)
13:44:46Nico_PI don't think we need an "error WPS". the default is already just that. a splash should be good enough IMHO
13:45:28LloreanJust an "WPS Broken" splash?
13:45:41Lloreanthen business as usual
13:45:47disorganizernico_p: in fact even a better idea than a wps. a "working" wps on error implies to the user that something is working and just things arent shown. if we just show a splash-screen this will be a definite indication of failure
13:46:24linuxstbdisorganizer: The point is that this shouldn't happen - i.e. users should be using (the new) rockbox-themes.org and all themes there will be guaranteed to work with official Rockbox.
13:46:26Nico_PI was suggesting showing a splash screen, then the default WPS
13:47:09*linuxstb is happy with a splash, then the current default.
13:47:14disorganizerok. but please let them press a button to show the default wps. and the splash should say: error in wps, use checkwps to verify. press any key to continue with the default wps. or something like that
13:47:15pixelmalinuxstb: re. "then you need checkwps" - does it run on the target? I sometimes did minor fixes to a .wps file directly on target using the text editor...
13:47:39linuxstbpixelma: No, it doesn't. Although it probably wouldn't be too hard to make it a viewer - a nice idea...
13:48:13Nico_Plinuxstb: how would that be done?
13:48:29linuxstbAlthough the errors are DEBUGF statements, so wouldn't be compiled on target....
13:49:16linuxstbNico_P: I'm not sure it could be now...
13:49:44Nico_Pyeah I don't think it would be trivial unfortunately
13:49:56linuxstbNico_P: My initial thought was simply that tools/checkwps.c could become a plugin. But that won't work as it relies on DEBUGF statements for the useful error messages...
13:50:22Nico_Pyes, and all the rb-> in front of "system" calls
13:50:36pixelmamy checkwps is "staring at the code of the wps" most of the times anyways... ;)
13:51:11linuxstbNico_P: Yes, it would be a program based on checkwps.c, not the same .c file.
13:51:31 Nick dionoea_ is now known as dionoea (n=dionoea@yop.chewa.net)
13:52:33linuxstbpixelma: Anyway, if you want to try it, just type "make checkwps" in the tools/ directory of the source, then do something like (if you're in tools/) ./checkwps ../simdir/archos/.rockbox/wps/mywps.wps

14:06:23linuxstbamiconn: To what? The DEBUGFs are in the core code (wps parser), so making them do something on target would affect the core. But maybe they could just encode the error in a few ints somewhere...

15:06:44linuxstbwc
15:06:54Aveunicode chars?
15:06:57Avethats tougher
15:07:16Avebut wc will do, or simply "ls -al" or so
15:07:32Aveassuming ascii or isolatin encoding
15:07:34B4gdercount-lines-region in emacs speak
15:08:20pixelmaB4gder: do you remember why the small c200.png is used as is? Should I bother adding some transparent space above or below and make it the same overall height as the others?
15:08:33RincewindB4gder: thanks, that's perfect
15:09:12B4gderpixelma: nah, i think it works fine as it is

15:11:04markunpixelma: We're making some progress with the meizu m6/m3 port. Do you feel like making a few vector drawings of the various models?
15:11:43markunthe m6sp and m6sl look the same, except for the label on one of the buttons
15:12:03pixelmaI first feel like finishing the M3 drawing and then making an M:Robe 100 one...
15:12:33markunof course. We don't have any code running on the meizu anyway
15:13:26pixelmayou only get a drawing once there is a build ore even a manual available for it :P
15:14:16markuna good motivation to hurry up then :)
15:15:23gevaertsWe could finish the manual ;)
15:16:03disorganizer@ all who are intersted regarding mf: i found the page http://www.rockbox.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/FontSystemProposal from 05/2007. wouldnt that solve the font-glyphcaching "problem" with multifont?

15:43:10kugeldisorganizer: You mean in the settings?
15:43:28Lloreankugel: Please, respect the idea of trying to save binsize where possible, and not cluttering the UI with "reset" options for every submenu.
15:43:36kugelPlease look at apps/gui/bitmap/list.c, I have made a comment regarding that
15:43:52kugelLlorean: Then remove reset colors from SVN please
15:44:17disorganizerif i see a list, and scroll down (like in fileview) then it scrolls up in the line before the last line. (lets say i have 10 lines in the displayed vp, but 15 lines to display, i go down until i reach line 9 and then it scrolls instead of when i selected line 10)
15:44:24kugelLlorean: I have stated why I want that option
15:44:26Lloreankugel: "They did it so I get to" is not a valid argument
15:44:30Lloreankugel: You stated you want it for testing.
15:44:39LloreanA .cfg file works for testing.
15:44:45kugelLlorean: That's 1 reason, not the only one
15:44:50LloreanThat's the reason you listed.

15:46:20disorganizer@kugel: ok then. didnt notice before, maybe didnt pay attention enough :-)
15:46:58Lloreankugel: In the official build, where themes come from the official repository (so, they're non-broken) what purpose does that option serve?
15:47:43kugelLlorean: "They did it too" is valid for me, since it shows that the bin size increase is worth a reset option at times

15:49:07Lloreankugel: That doesn't answer my question regarding its purpose.
15:49:31LloreanIn fact I have no idea why you added menu options for resizing the list viewport in the first place, honestly
15:49:45LloreanIt doesn't seem like a thing that should be manipulated interactively.
15:49:46linuxstbIMO, the user can simply load a theme to reset all theme settings back to a sensible state - so even "reset colours" can go.
15:49:53Lloreanlinuxstb: Agreed.
15:50:04kugelLlorean: I allready told you, that the purpose is to have a quick way to do 4 jobs in one. Especially since this 4 jobs might be painful when the list is messed up extremly
15:50:22Lloreankugel: If the list is messed up too extremely then you can't get to the option either. Argument is null.
15:50:44kugelI could, since the icons where still visible when I tried it
15:50:50*gevaerts wants to know how Bagder managed to get 7zip compress better than 7zip
15:51:02LambdaCalculus37Lack of coffee?
15:51:03kugeland if it's null, what's the reason for having the reset color option?
15:51:06Lloreankugel: Then you had enough information to use the other options.
15:51:16Lloreankugel: there is no reason for the reset color option, really. It should be removed.
15:51:33Lloreanlinuxstb: I really, really don't think you need to be able to resize the list from within the rockbox menu system anyway.
15:51:51kugelSo you like hidden cfg values?
15:52:36Lloreankugel: Where in the menu system can you describe WPSes?
15:52:37linuxstbFor themes, I think it's inevitable - as we make more and more things customisable, we don't want to bloat the UI with code to edit everything
15:53:05disorganizeri must admit i can see that point of llorean. the viewport-sizing is extremely theme dependant as the wps and other parts of the viewport system needs to fit. so setting this will propably in the future break the themes, this it should not be settable by the user
15:53:06LloreanMost aspects of themeing don't need, or explicitly should not have, menu options.
15:53:24kugelThe options also offer to otimize the list settings quickly, without the painfull editting the theme.cfg with the rockbox text editor and reloading all the time
15:53:50linuxstbBut the question then becomes what is a theme setting, and what isn't? e.g. is the status bar visibility setting part of the theme? Custom list positions and status bar visibility are interlinked...
15:53:52 Quit Cricri ("CGI:IRC (Ping timeout)")
15:54:03disorganizer@kugel: the user should not be able to edit that for the reasons i stated above. viewports have to fit against each other, especially when we talk about statusbar-viewportification
15:54:26Lloreankugel: A customized list position will be part of a theme. Since the theme designer knows the backdrop dimensions, and the location of additional viewports, there's no "trial and error", there's simple, objective numbers.
15:55:08Lloreanlinuxstb: I think "if it can conflict with non-interactively settable settings, it probably shouldn't be interactively settable" is at least a good basic guideline.
15:55:19LloreanExceptions will always happen though
15:55:47kugeldisorganizer: I don't get your point actually. Breaking themes isn't an issue as we know
15:56:36disorganizerit will be. imagine we have custom statusbars. so the statusbar viewport is using y-values 0-15 and 200-250. now the list viewport should use 16-199, and the user can not know this.
15:56:48Lloreankugel: Except you're trying to put in a "break this working theme" option.
15:56:54disorganizerif the user is able to change those values, he can easily break the theme

16:01:00kugelI just don't see what's wrong about having this options, honestly

16:02:53kugelLlorean: Why do we have settings anyway? We can edit the config, so why do we waste bin size on that?
16:03:11Lloreankugel: Now you're just being pointlessly argumentative.
16:03:24LloreanViewport size is not something you need, or have any good reason, to change while using the player.
16:03:45LloreanIt should always be set properly by the theme, and every theme should change it to a valid setting. It's not a "user configurable" option.
16:03:49linuxstbkugel: There has long been a view amongst the devs that Rockbox has too many settings - so we think long and hard about any new ones. I agree that manual editing of the list position doesn't see a very useful feature.
16:04:00LloreanJust like we don't let users directly set the playback buffer size. There are values determined by other values that don't need direct interaction.

16:12:16LloreanIf you want a reset option that's not meant to be there for users, put it in the debug menu.

16:14:14kugel"You" was meant to mean Llorean exclusivly

16:15:46scorche|shkugel: you are missing the point...

16:16:22LloreanYou know, at this point, that several committers including the one most likely to be the one who commits it lean in favour of not having it in the menus.

16:24:15Lloreankugel: Remotes have WPSs, they currently use the same font as the main screen (likely to change), and from a user perspective are essentially a second screen for their player that is as affected by themes as the main screen.
16:25:59kugelCan have remotes backdrops?
16:26:10*linuxstb doesn't understand the C240's keymap...
16:26:35*gevaerts tells linuxstb to implement customizable keymaps
16:26:44*gevaerts hides
16:26:48Lloreanlinuxstb: I've got a couple fixes in mind for it, once I'm compiling again actually
16:26:57Lloreanbut you can't do much from how it's laid out.
16:27:28LloreanAgain, I'll put them on a tracker for 6 months, when nobody comments, commit them, then get yelled at, of course.
16:27:31LloreanOnce my laptop is back.
16:27:51kugelDoes anyone know why the statusbar is turned on the in the radio screen?
16:27:52pondlifeRemotes should ideally be equal to main displays in all ways - colour vs greyscale vs mono will be relevant, of course.
16:28:14Lloreankugel: Remotes should be allowed to have backdrops, but I don't think there are any suitable for them yet
16:28:28LloreanSo I don't think anyone's bothered with the functionality to do so
16:29:12Lloreankugel: Because both volume and battery level are still valuable in the Radio screen.
16:29:49kugelAh, yea, volume/battery isn't shown in the screen itselfs.
16:31:36linuxstbThe iaudio (greyscale) remote LCD can have a backdrop
16:32:08Lloreanlinuxstb: Is there a function for menu backdrops, or just WPS backdrop?
16:32:18kugelSo, remotes should be able to use custom list dimensions too I guess
16:32:34pondlifeOf course, one per screen

16:33:31Lloreanpixelma: Do so. :)
16:33:38Lloreanlinuxstb: using the volume buttons while in the list?
16:33:53linuxstbpixelma: I would be tempted to make the volume buttons scroll - i.e. equivalent to fwd/back on a wheel.
16:33:53pondlifepixelma: Yes, it's your turn to take the keymap heat :)
16:34:00LambdaCalculus37pondlife: Update on my disktidy.c modifications... I patched my SVN table and compiled for my iPod color, and casually browsed it in Dolphin. Disktidy found and deleted all .dolphinview files found.
16:34:06gevaertspondlife: I'll start work on my c200-as-USB-remote ASAP
16:34:32pondlifehehe, can we get a USB hub or 2 in there...
16:34:40pixelmathe delayed statusbar update has become more annoying in general
16:34:42Lloreanlinuxstb: I'd like to make long-select be context menu in the WPS, and I really wouldn't mind the volume buttons scrolling (I'd use that personally, but wouldn't have put that in my suggested revision of the keymap)
16:34:58kugelHmm, quickscreen isn't using vp yet
16:34:59linuxstbpixelma: Then the keymap would be identical to ipods, with the exception of the menu/play being swapped, a dedicated "stop/off" button (power) and the record button.
16:35:09 Part LinusN
16:35:19pixelmalinuxstb: that's what I'd like to avoid (scrolling with up/down) because it forces me to two handed operation...
16:35:29Lloreanlinuxstb: You're basically talking about the e200 keymap, but with the "wheel" on the e200 being the volume buttons on the c200.
16:35:33gevaertspondlife: of course. I'll attach 120 c200-remotes to my gigabeat once I'm bored from building Towers
16:35:51pondlifeA fully functional Web Of Rockbox
16:36:14linuxstbpixelma: Yes, I can see the disadvantage in it as well...
16:36:55linuxstbHow do I return from the file browser to the WPS? i.e. the "play" button?
16:36:55pixelmavolume up/down, of course
16:37:19gevaertspondlife: it will provide a tiled 1320x960 screen
16:37:19pixelmaahem... it's some weird combo (rec + up, I think)
16:37:42linuxstbLong-press on rec started a recording ;)
16:37:55Lloreanlinuxstb: Select goes to the browser.
16:37:56linuxstbOr rather, took me to the recording screen.
16:38:05Lloreanlinuxstb: "power" is the main menu
16:38:07linuxstbLlorean: And then how do I get back?
16:38:09 Quit corevette ("Leaving")
16:38:13LambdaCalculus37pixelma: Not rec + up.
16:38:14pixelmaI changed that to "volume up" in my own build (hence sacrificing adjusting volume in lists) but I've been thinking about a short rec
16:38:19Lloreanlinuxstb: Oh, got what you wanted backward.
16:38:28Lloreanlinuxstb: I've been using the "Now Playing" menu option...
16:38:41LambdaCalculus37Me too.
16:38:59linuxstbSo it's missing a "play" button?
16:39:20pixelma("short rec" currently is "enter recording screen" but I could live with that being on "long rec"...)
16:39:31pixelmayes, there is no "resume" button currently
16:39:32*Llorean supposes someone could check /apps/keymaps_c200.c or appropriate almost that named file.
16:39:52Lloreanpixelma: I think recording should always require a long press to get there. Make it very explicit.
16:39:59*linuxstb looks forward to pixelma's cleanup, and won't use his c240 again to avoid confusion ;)
16:40:20pondlifeIs the H300 using short REC, or long REC?
16:40:24pixelmaLlorean: what do you think about short rec being resume then?
16:40:55peturbah, more REC button madness
16:41:14*linuxstb wonders if Sansa designed the c240's buttons just to annoy us
16:41:21*petur votes the usb charging option be moved to the hold switch *again*
16:41:24disorganizeron many sansas i know the rec button is hard to operate.
16:41:44 Quit DerDome (Remote closed the connection)
16:42:01disorganizerbut pressing play should work for the e to go to wps
16:42:34*petur also wonders why recording needs a dedicated button. And why radio not? Why is it hard to pick recording from the menu?
16:42:38pixelmaLlorean: as I said - currently I have resume on "volume up" and stop (in the tree/menus) on "volume down"... though
16:43:11pixelmabut this way I can't set volume in the tree/menu of course
16:43:51pixelmadisorganizer: that's the problem on the c - the "play" button is also used as "up"...

16:44:29Lloreanpixelma: I wouldn't object to that. Most of the changes I'd like to make apply to the WPS (similar to the changes I made on e200).
16:44:45pixelmadisorganizer: http://download.rockbox.org/manual/rockbox-sansac200/rockbox-buildch3.html#x5-270003.1.1
16:44:47LloreanWhile I like trying to match button labels, sometimes usability is also important. :)
16:45:24LloreanI'd rather use the volume buttons than short-rec, honestly, though.
16:46:05pixelmamy changes don't touch the WPS controls (resume, radio, recording and virtual keyboard annoyed me more...)
16:46:27LloreanHeh
16:47:07pixelmaI should just post the WIP (just need to make sure it still applies)
16:47:09disorganizer@pixelma: sorry, i found out you are talking c instead of e :-) i am ashame
16:48:53disorganizerbut shouldnt it be like with the e-series? volupdown for scrolling, play for wps, ... ?
16:49:16linuxstbCopying the ipod keymap, we could have the up/down/left/right/select on the C240 acting the same as scroll/left/right/center on the wheel, the menu button as menu, and the REC button as play/pause
16:49:41Lloreandisorganizer: The vol up/down are awkward to use on the c200, they are on "top" and face left/right rather than up/down.
16:49:46linuxstb(long REC = stop, very long REC = off)
16:49:58pixelmathe thing is that you lose overview if you're working at to many things at one :\
16:50:25pixelma*once
16:52:00*pixelma should just start ignoring her typos... ;)
16:52:17linuxstbAnyway, there seems to be a huge lag in the status bar in the file browser on the C240, but not in the menus... (when changing volume)

16:54:07linuxstbAnyone have a gigabeat handy to see if there is a similar bug when changing volume there? (compare menu with file browser)
16:55:27LambdaCalculus37linuxstb: No Gigabeat, but I also have noticed the lag in the status bar in the file browser on my c240 as well.
16:55:41amiconnlinuxstb: The huge status bar lag was introduced by list viewports, I think
16:56:16linuxstbamiconn: Have you noticed it in both the file browser and menus? It seems to be significantly worse in the file browser
16:56:45amiconnI didn't notice it in the menus, but then I've set my targets to start up in the browser
16:57:04linuxstbIt seems OK in the menus.
16:57:10amiconnYou can do an experiment, if you have a target with soft disk led:
16:57:29amiconnDisable dircache, database auto-update etc.. Then reboot.
16:58:03amiconnYou'll notice that the disk activity icon stays for 10 seconds or more after the disk stopped spinning...
16:58:18kugelDoes anyone know what happened about viewportifying quickscreen? JdGordon did some start (which was reverted quickly)
16:58:20linuxstbYes, the delay seems similar to that when changing volume in the lists on the c240
16:59:37linuxstbIn fact it's not that, it seems the status bar isn't being updated as long as there are button events - i.e. the volume will change as soon as I release the volume button
16:59:48Lloreanlinuxstb: On my gigabeat, the status bar volume changes from within lists also lag (though last time i looked it wasn't as much as my c200 is lagging right now)

17:00:10linuxstbs/as soon as/about a second after/
17:01:32pixelmalinuxstb: I noticed yesterday that the statusbar lag from going WPS -> browsers/menus became more obvious on the Ondio because now it still shows the part of the WPS in that area until the statusbar is updated (before it was blanked)

17:08:35ZincAlloyhi everybody!
17:09:51pixelmahowdy :)
17:10:25ZincAlloyhow's it going?
17:11:32pixelmagood, but I must point at the channel topic...
17:11:57ZincAlloyoh, I see
17:13:15*linuxstb wonders why the Sansa bootloader becomes verbose when USB is inserted
17:14:13linuxstbAnyone object to me fixing that?
17:14:30LloreanNope
17:21:22LambdaCalculus37Nope.
17:21:51linuxstbAnyone know why the M:Robe 100 bootloader uses "Power" to go to the OF, rather than Left (like all the other PP bootloaders) ?
17:22:44LloreanNon-iPod PP rather?
17:22:46ZincAlloyspeaking of bootloaders. the h300 bootloader is behaving oddly. after unplugging the power supply I need to push the stop button for it to display the "charging complete" screen and shutting down. play/on will start up the original firmware
17:23:13linuxstbLlorean: Yes - the bootloaders in "main-pp.c"
17:23:19LloreanAh
17:23:50linuxstbAnd on other bootloaders, only one button is used to make the messages verbose, the PP bootloaders were verbose if any button was pressed (including USB insertion)
17:24:02linuxstbe.g. RIGHT on the ipods
17:27:25linuxstbIs it something I've just done, or is bootloader USB detection broken in the Sansa bootloaders in SVN?
17:27:57linuxstbs/Sansa/C240/
17:30:06linuxstbYes, reverting to a plain SVN bootloader, USB detection is broken...
17:33:21pixelmaUSB detection when?
17:34:37pixelmaI'm running quite an old bootloader of the time barrywardell tested disabling the refresh database bit on the e200
17:34:51 Quit Nevtus ("Gone")
17:36:32linuxstbUSB detection in the bootloader - with a bootloader built from current SVN
17:37:20linuxstbSo inserting USB in Rockbox will cause a reboot loop (holding LEFT will stop it and enter the OF)
17:41:57*linuxstb tries to drag on-topic conversations from #rockbox-community
17:42:26scorche|shso then...would we rather have our GSoC application discussions private in a channel such as #rockbox-mentors, or have it all out in here?
17:43:44linuxstbThe SoC page has a comment facility for us to comment directly on applications, but I believe general chat, or chat where we don't get too personal about a specific application should be open.
17:44:27gevaertsI agree, but I guess "too personal" will be different depending on who looks at it.
17:44:40GodEaterindeed
17:44:51pondlifeIt's useful to get input from non-mentors, generally...
17:44:55GodEaterwe don't need to name names for a student to work out we're talking about their application
17:45:18GodEaterpondlife: I'd include project old-hands too, not just official mentors
17:45:24GodEaterit would make the most sense
17:45:33linuxstbBut is it a bad thing for a student to know what we think of their application, as long as we're not insulting?

17:49:38scorche|shmarkun: since it seems you added the usability study idea onto the list, what were your thoughts on how a student would approach that in a plannable way guaranteeing that a decent bit of actual code work be done?
17:49:40linuxstbIt's quite hard for us to remove it now though...
17:50:25GodEaternot really - they are, after all, only ideas. Students are encouraged to bring their own...
17:50:53linuxstbI think any application for that project would need to convince us it was a significant project, and that Rockbox could be improved by it.

17:52:16scorche|shespecially without a proper plan
17:52:39gevaertsI think _any_ project is acceptable as long as (a) the application is detailed enough to convey what will be done and how, (b) it is about the right amount of work, and (c) at least one mentor is interested in following it closely
17:53:11RexDartHmm...does rockbox have known issues with switching between codecs when playing files of different types in a playlist? Mine crashes like a kennedy.
17:53:15GodEaterI still think a summer of code project should produce actual code...
17:53:17gevaertsThat doesn't mean that just about any project gets to the top of course...
17:53:26RexDartOr does it perhaps have allergies
17:53:30linuxstbI think there's also d) Is generally considered a useful thing to do - i.e. that a significant number of Rockbox users will benefit from it.

17:55:47gevaertsI can imagine a project that (a) looks at usability issues, and (b) implements a new GUI based on what was found in (a)
17:56:03scorcheGodEater: the most relevant FAQ would be http://code.google.com/opensource/gsoc/2008/faqs.html#0.1_doc_proposals
17:56:19linuxstbgevaerts: But what if a) concludes that the current GUI is perfect? ;)
17:56:23scorche|shgevaerts: and like i said, they alreayd have a few ideas
17:56:31scorche|shfor the reason linuxstb said
17:56:53*pondlife suspects it's not.... ;)
17:57:04gevaertsBut I'm not sure if a usability study without access to lots of different DAPs is doable (the simulators don't provide the feel of the actual devices)
17:58:43scorche|sheither way, the usability study idea is quite touchy and so far, it does not seem like this student would do it justice...what we need to do is figure out *exactly* what we want from such a proposal and communicate that to him and the wiki
17:58:57RexDartHey scorche|sh , was it you yesterday who I was talking to about rockbox crashing with error numbers top-left when I play songs of different formats in a playlist?
17:59:12RexDartAnd you'd suggested I update rockbox from 16667 or so to a current build
17:59:18midgey|webhas any student expressed interest in the plugin localisations or real audio support?
17:59:20markunscorche|sh: I'm not so sure about the usability stuff myself anymore
17:59:21scorche|shno
17:59:24gevaertsI also think that a usability related project is much harder to evaluate for us than some clearly defined feature like a codec, and therefore needs a stronger proposal

18:07:23ZincAlloyit used to work on the simulator
18:07:26linuxstbYou simply need to put images in their own viewport.

18:11:22Nico_Ppondlife: honestly I'm not really sure. I left it at 32K when I did the buffering work, and jhMikeS later changed it down to 16K. I guess it mainly involves scheduling matters I'm not familiar with
18:11:26scorche|shso to try and get back to the earlier discussion, what do people think needs to be said specifically to this applicant?

18:12:23ZincAlloythough I'm not sure.

18:29:12roolkulinuxstb: looking at main-pp.c all USB activity seems to be sansa related ?

18:30:58kugelLambdaCalculus37: What would you think of including windows files (thumbs.db, desktop.ini)?
18:31:17LambdaCalculus37kugel: thumbs.db is already covered by disktidy.
18:31:26LambdaCalculus37I can add in desktop.ini, though.
18:31:45LambdaCalculus37And call me crazy, but I'm also adding in FINDER.DAT files that are created by Mac OS 9.
18:31:47kugelLambdaCalculus37: Ah ok, it's not noted in task though
18:32:44*LambdaCalculus37 has to add in FINDER.DAT since he still uses an iMac with Mac OS 9.2.2 and hooks his JBRv1 to it from time to time

18:36:29Nico_PjhMikeS: buffering seems much slower with the patch
18:41:21jhMikeShow much is "much" time-wise? are you getting delays in adding handles like me?
18:41:55linuxstbBagder: Could you add &pathrev=xxxxx (where xxxxx is the same as r2) to the diff URLs generated by the SVN script for the front page (and elsewhere I guess). This fixes links if files are subsequently renamed or deleted (e.g. Linus's changes to FILES earlier today).
18:42:07n1slinuxstb: you mentioned that a system for localisable plugins was designed. know where i can find that?
18:42:58linuxstbn1s: I'm not sure.. I just have a recollection of reading about it, or maybe it was just vague discussions in IRC.
18:43:00RexDartHmm...I assume rockbox has some error logging feature I could enable to find out why it hates SNES music, right?
18:44:22Nico_PjhMikeS: it seems there are delays in adding handles, but my main observation was that the levels fill much more slowly
18:45:24Nico_PjhMikeS: is the "view OS stacks" screen useful for such debugging?

18:48:10linuxstbn1s: I'm almost certain amiconn had some ideas...
18:48:43Nico_Pwhat is it that's using the disk at startup?
18:49:04linuxstbdircache, database?
18:49:18Nico_Pprobably both in my case, but why do they need to?
18:49:25Nico_Pthey scan for new entries?
18:50:12linuxstbI think dircache does a full scan, the database will scan for new/deleted files, and deal with them appropriately.
18:50:55orsonjany status change on Rio Karma since last forum post at end of January?
18:51:12Nico_Pif they do that both at the same time, no wonder resuming playback on startup is so sluggish

18:53:06roolkubluebrother: yes
18:53:28bluebrotherI've got a problem installing Rockbox on an m:robe 100
18:53:50Nico_PjhMikeS: when dircache and DB aren't updating there is no UI sluggisheness but initial buffering still seems slow (even with the PCM buffer rather full), but then accelerates and finishes quite fast
18:53:50bluebrotherused rbutil, worked fine so far. Player rebooted, now it's stuck at the bootloader with "no partition found"
18:53:51roolkubluebrother: with rbutil? or manual?

18:54:39bluebrotherdiscovered a bug in rbutil during installation ;-)
18:54:44LambdaCalculus37Davide-NYC: Ahoy!
18:54:50roolkubluebrother: how old is your bootloader? Do you know if your m:robe is partitioned or formatted as superfloppy (the default)
18:55:03Nico_PjhMikeS: which buffer? the PCM buffer?
18:55:06jhMikeSyes
18:55:23bluebrotherthe bootloader if the released one from the website −− r12345-080305
18:55:29bluebrotherfunny revision number ;-)
18:55:34Nico_Pwell the difference between these two buffering phases doesn't seem to be the PCM buffer levels
18:55:35jhMikeSit only actually goes off the run list when it has to wait for buffer space
18:56:12amiconnNico_P: The ipod's disk isn't slower than on any other target for reading
18:56:21linuxstbn1s: There's some discussion on 2007-05-24 - search for "sectioned"...
18:56:36amiconnAnd for writing, it's only slower if the writes consist of lots of single-sector transfers
18:56:39roolkubluebrother: *blush* maybe I should have taken out my speedup patch for svnversion
18:56:49n1slinuxstb: thanks, found one from 2005 too
18:56:52jhMikeSI did run H10 with large sector access and it seemed to be about the same speed there
18:56:55Nico_Pamiconn: really?
18:57:00amiconnYes, really
18:57:10bluebrotherroolku: well, how can I reboot the thing and get it connected to the PC again?
18:57:13Nico_Pamiconn: then the main difference is the RAM size?
18:57:17linuxstbn1s: Putting those ideas in the wiki would be useful...
18:57:28amiconnWhenever transferring in 1024-byte or larger chunks, there is no difference at all
18:57:40Davide-NYCOi oi! was AFK
18:57:42roolkubluebrother: there is a reset hole at the bottom, so you need a paper clip or similar
18:57:51bluebrotheraaah :)
18:58:03*gevaerts somewhat regrets volunteering to write the gsoc application template
18:58:19amiconnWhen reading in 512-byte chunks, the ata driver reads a full 1024-byte phyical sector on the first call, and returns half of it. The next call, it just copies the other half from the sector cache
18:58:22jhMikeSmaybe I can emulate on H10 by making it do all this junk at once. The database and tagcache threads can be lowered one step (priority + 1)
18:58:33n1slinuxstb: I agree I thought about it a bit over the easter weekend and will try to give it a go after my next exam probably (well unless it is taken by a gsoc student :P )
18:58:57Nico_PjhMikeS: can't you just resume audio on startup?
18:59:12amiconnJust when writing 512-byte chunks, it gets messy: The driver reads a 1024-byte sector into the cache, replaces the respective half with the 512 bytes to be written, and writes that 1024-byte sector again
18:59:33jhMikeSI don't have database or dircache on though
18:59:34amiconnThe immediate write is necessary in order not to loose data
18:59:47bluebrotherit seems my player likes to hang. Just resetted it and flipped the hold switch. Now it stays at "shutting down"
18:59:53Nico_PjhMikeS: I suggest you enable them to add some strain :)
19:00
19:00:50jhMikeSwhat do you add to the database.ignore file to get it to ignore a directory? The HVSC will kill it.
19:00:59amiconnjhMikeS: It should also be possible to force the ata driver to use its sector cache mechanism
19:01:00bluebrotherwhat's the button for booting the of on the m:r?
19:01:05linuxstbNothing - just create the file.
19:01:06roolkubluebrother: "shutting down" the rockbox message?
19:01:16linuxstb^To jhMikeS
19:01:31bluebrotherroolku: yes
19:01:32amiconnDisk addressing doesn't change at all from this
19:01:39jhMikeSah. cool
19:01:43linuxstbjhMikeS: But since markun's commit to add a "database.unignore", it will still scan all the files...
19:01:53roolkubluebrother: if you reset while hold is on it will turn off instead of restarting
19:01:57***Saving seen data "./dancer.seen"
19:02:11*amiconn should probably add a #define to force the ata driver into 1024-byte mode for testing
19:02:26roolkubluebrother: hm, so you booted into rockbox and the "couldn't find partition error" occured there?
19:02:27Nico_PjhMikeS: I just went back to SVN for comparison and it's much worse than with your patch
19:02:34jhMikeSlinuxstb: ??
19:02:46bluebrotherno, the error occured in the bootloader.
19:02:57gevaertsDoes anyone happen to have a reasonable gsoc application available ? Maybe one from 2007. I need soe inspiration for this template
19:03:05amiconnlinuxstb: Afaik the unignore was reverted...
19:03:15bluebrotherand I haven't found the button to boot into the OF again ...
19:03:37Slasheriamiconn: it's still there
19:03:40jhMikeSNico_P: try adding one or two to the database and dircache thread priorities. they could be a bit closer than they ought to playback.
19:03:56Nico_PjhMikeS: ok
19:04:24Nico_PSlasheri: can you brief me on what dircache and the DB do on a normal strartup?
19:04:29roolkubluebrother: you press power again, when the headphone logo shows and hold until it says booting OF

19:04:33jhMikeSactually the differential is rather slight now
19:04:43linuxstbjhMikeS: I put that wrongly - it won't "scan all files", but will still traverse the entire tree. Before that patch, it would stop as soon as it saw database.ignore

19:05:34roolkubluebrother: what happens?
19:05:36bluebrotherI only get the "no partition found" error
19:05:59SlasheriNico_P: on normal startup, dircache will scan through the entire file tree (using direct fat_* methods for fast access) and just create a linked list containing all files and directories (and attributes of those)
19:06:10RexDartHmmm....which source file contains crash=1?
19:07:07roolkubluebrother: hm, I suppose that is fair enough that it can't load the OF if it doesn't see the partition...
19:07:12RexDartmofo.c?
19:07:52bluebrotherroolku: so ... what can I do now?
19:08:01SlasheriNico_P: and tagcache checks at first if there is a temporary db on disk waiting to commit, and will commit that if found. After that it waits dircache to became ready (if enabled) and starts searching for new tracks. Finally there will be a search for removed tracks (that phase will be greatly optimized soon)
19:08:10roolkubluebrother: connect USB and reset
19:08:24Nico_PSlasheri: right. and what's happening when there is "scanning disk" splash? is that the DB?
19:08:30roolkubluebrother: or switch hold on and then reset
19:08:38SlasheriNico_P: that is dircache
19:08:51Nico_Pwhy doesn't it appear on all startups?
19:08:57bluebrotherah, so there is some kind of emergency disc mode? Nice.
19:09:12SlasheriNico_P: normally that is done in background
19:09:32Slasherithat splash appears only when a foreground scan occurs
19:09:38roolkubluebrother: this mechanism is in the OF's bootloader
19:10:11roolkubluebrother: I assume you can mount the drive on your pc ?
19:10:13bluebrotherhmm, doesn't look like my player is a superfloppy. Just dumped the mbr
19:10:21Nico_PSlasheri: what's the difference between fg and bg scans?
19:10:40SlasheriNico_P: foreground scan is initialized when the last cache size is unknown or directory cached failed for some reason
19:10:44bluebrotheryep, I can now access the player.
19:10:48*n1s creates a wikipage
19:10:54Slasheribg scan already knows the necessary amount of memory to allocate
19:11:03*jhMikeS knows there probably a retuning stage needed here
19:11:13Slasherifg doesn't and that finds it out
19:11:36Nico_PSlasheri: ah and I guess the known cache size is erased by an USB operation?
19:11:54Slasherino, it shouldn't be
19:12:22Slasheriit is probably a "new" bug if that happens
19:12:43roolkubluebrother: can you try the bootloader i am DCC sending right now?
19:12:45Slasherii almost never use the rockbox usb mode
19:12:56Nico_PI'm not quite sure what I did, there's probably no cause for concern. what kind of thing makes a fg scan necessary?
19:12:57bluebrotherroolku: just installed an svn bootloader. Now it boots fine
19:13:08*bluebrother has no idea how dcc works in irssi
19:14:31SlasheriNico_P: for example initializing dircache for the first time or cache reserve allocation is exeeded when performing "live" cache operations (such as adding new files to the cache after a usb connection)
19:14:36roolkubluebrother: Hm, I better verify the bootloader in the server then...
19:15:00roolkubluebrother: maybe it is an old one
19:15:09SlasheriNico_P: dircache allocated 64 KiB of extra every time to the last known real cache size during startup

19:19:51bluebrotherhmm, wasn't rockbox usb safe on non-flash targets?
19:20:30amiconnNot entirely
19:20:46Nico_PjhMikeS: both the tagcache and dircache threads have PRIORITY_BACKGROUND whereas audio has PRIORITY_USER_INTERFACE
19:20:50roolkubluebrother: not sure what you mean, but it is faster to use the bootloader USB instead of waiting for rockbox to boot
19:20:55amiconnThere is the (slight) chance of data corruption due to the unstable connection itself
19:21:28roolkubluebrother: (bootloader USB is OF or rockbox depending on target)
19:22:11*amiconn wants the ipod bootloader to detect usb too, and start diskmode directly :/
19:22:17jhMikeSNico_P: yes, since they need to defer to audio. So I'd try PRIORITY_BACKGROUND+1 or +2 as a check since the specific mean of that has changed.
19:22:28jhMikeS*meaning
19:22:34linuxstbamiconn: I did try that, but it gives a nasty reboot...
19:22:39amiconnRight now, the bootloader always boots rockbox first, which will then detect usb and *try to* reboot into diskmode
19:22:48Nico_PjhMikeS: ok, I'll try that
19:23:17*linuxstb must be extremely lucky with ipod usb mode - it very rarely fails
19:23:22amiconn...which does only work in around 30% of all builds...
19:23:59amiconnThen I have to use Menu+Play to enter diskmode, which is also nasty because it doesn't auto-reboot on unplug
19:24:33linuxstbamiconn: Have you tried rolo'ing the diskmode app?
19:24:41amiconnYes. Doesn't work
19:24:56amiconnRoloing diagmode works, but diskmode just freezes

19:28:27linuxstbamiconn: Yes, it set those cookies and reset. I can't remember exactly what it was that I didn't like though - maybe the disk needing to be spun down, then back up immediately...
19:28:37Nico_PjhMikeS: the priority change doesn't seem to cause any noticeable difference
19:29:28amiconnlinuxstb: Yeah, the bootloader would need to do a proper disk shutdown, like the core usb handling does

19:30:01linuxstbamiconn: But I seem to remember it not always being reliable...
19:30:09amiconnYes, I remember that you reported that both on Color and Video, roloing diskmode works, and roloing diagmode doesn't

19:37:44SlasherijhMikeS: maybe it's still the codec and buffering fighting?

19:38:25jhMikeSthe codec yields much less now so the buffering can more easily be dominated

20:17:03*jhMikeS notices a marked increase in handle request speed with dircache on with H10 (no delay between them) and so buffering is faster with dircache and database updating the background than with none of those enabled. :\

20:17:34markunn1s: boottool wasn't

21:03:01scorche|shRubberDucky132: try the AppleAccessories wiki page and see if your device is on there
21:03:06RubberDucky132because my dad invested in a hifi grade iPod doc so I've been using Rockbox to use FLAC on the iPod
21:03:10brunocardoson1s: i really dont know, we must compile and run to see! that's why i'm wondering if this is a eligible as a GSoC projet! ;)
21:03:31RubberDucky132scorche|sh: ok :)
21:03:34thegeekI think llvm is mentioned in the gsoc wiki-page?
21:03:42 Quit PaulJam_ (".")
21:03:49scorche|shhence why he is asking about it
21:03:49gevaertsNico_P: but I'll only do that work once I'm confident that we can solve the current usb issues
21:04:01brunocardosobluebrother: think about llvm as a alternative for gcc! although its the name of the compile IR too!
21:04:01thegeekthen clearly it is of some interest;P
21:04:17n1sbrunocardoso: understood, do you think it would be enough work for gsoc to make it compile rockbox ok (with all the associated build system adjustments etc.)?
21:05:08bluebrotherbrunocardoso: ok, that somewhat answers my question. And in case it gets a SoC project I guess I'll learn more about it in one way or another ;-)
21:05:26brunocardosobluebrother: ;)
21:05:39jhMikeSNico_P: think it's a good idea to make the filechunk 32KB again? it's definitely a little better on anything I have to test.
21:05:50thegeekas a user with a lot of interest in rockbox development(I've been following the project for some years) I think it would be very interesting
21:06:06gevaertsbrunocardoso: do you think that getting rockbox to compile (and work...) with llvm is enough work for SoC ?
21:06:08RubberDucky132it's not listed as working or not working, but it's not a fancy dock / speaker / remote combo it's just a hifi grade "pickup" than turns the iPod line out into dual phono out, so prosumably it'll work? I mean it isn't even using serial at all I guess
21:06:15Nico_PjhMikeS: it looks better to me too... I couldn't really say why it's that way though ;)
21:06:40brunocardoson1s, gevaerts: yeah, i think the time is enough
21:07:04thegeekI think he meant is it too easy (not enough work for an entire summer)
21:07:09jhMikeSNico_P: heck, I'll even try larger ones if that won't break anything
21:07:27Nico_Pwhy not... I'll try too
21:07:29bluebrotherwhat do people think about FS #8751? IMO it should get rejected as it doesn't give much benefit
21:07:33brunocardoson1s, gevaerts: and like i said, if we get in trouble with some ARM backend issues, i can send patches to fix it! yeah, i think the time is enough

21:12:18n1s-O3 turns on a lot more inlining so it probably kills the icache, but generally I believe that the state of the m68k backend in gcc makes the rest of gcc take stupid decisions (m68k is used as an example of outdated backend in need of cleanup in the gcc wiki...)

21:13:18brunocardosodomonoky: not eligible then
21:15:56n1sheh, googling 'llvm m68k' gives our gsoc wikipage as nr 9
21:16:17bertrikI also wonder sometimes how the compiler can make decisions regarding speed if it doesn't know how fast memory accesses are (e.g. internal RAM could be faster than external RAM and a lot faster than flash)
21:16:38 Quit toffe82 (Read error: 104 (Connection reset by peer))

21:23:10Nico_PjhMikeS: when resuming playback with the player essentially idle, there seems to be two phases. at first buffering is rather slow, then past approx. mid buffer it gets much faster... any idea why that could be? codec boosting less maybe?

22:44:14*scorche|sh hopes that was the bad news
22:45:11gevaertsThe bad news is that I had to make sure that there is _nothing_ else running while the usb transfer is busy. I tested by disabling double buffering, and all non-usb interrupts
22:45:53gevaertsMy next test will try using IRAM (and interrupts enabled). Maybe that will be sufficient as well

23:15:16amiconnThe faster transfer should in fact help to reduce ticking a bit further on affected irivers
23:15:31LloreanThat's good, then.
23:17:18amiconnWhat we're doing to reduce ticking is to spread out the byte transfers, in order to reduce the energy density of the transfer. The faster transfer results in shorter transfers and longer pauses, given the same overall update speed

23:55:16gevaertsOK. Short summary of my USB tests (on c250). If I (only) disable all non-usb interrupts, it works "better". If I (only) disable double buffering (= simultaneous disk and usb I/O), there are no real changes.

And when i load the file from the file tree it opens up just fine but doesn't allow me to save the presets so when I go to "FM Radio" it just says "No preset found, autoscan?" any ideas on whats going wrong?
23:57:02kugellinuxstb_: Regarding your parse_list function. Needs to be there a traling seperator? i.e. |..|... or ...|...
23:57:10feindbilddeleting the .rockbox dir and freshly installing rockbox fixed the undefined instruction thingy ^^
23:57:45gevaertsMy interpretation of this is that the USB controller reads directly from RAM, without any buffering. If something else tries to access RAM simultaneously, the controller hiccups and either breaks of the packet or sends it with a (very) short interruption halfway, to which host and hub react badly.
