| 00:02:27 | BHSPitLappy | dangit, this guy's gonna knock me out of the running |
| 00:02:35 | phinze | well... as i don't have an ipod i don't know how the scroll wheel works in rockbox... but i would imagine it would be similar |
| 00:02:54 | phinze | moving your finger up and down the tracking area moves the cursor |
| 00:03:01 | phinze | rather than the top just being up and the bottom being down |
| 00:03:17 | BigBambi | the scroll wheel scrolls as you move your finger round it |
| 00:03:48 | Nico_P | phinze: there's a patch in the tracker that attempts to improve that, but it's not good enough yet |
| 00:03:54 | markun | phinze: the gigabeat could also use any such improvements |
| 00:03:59 | markun | and soon the meizu |
| 00:04:01 | phinze | BigBambi: right, so the scroll bar would be like the scroll wheel unrolled and mounted vertically |

| 00:06:44 | gevaerts | phinze: anyway, I don't think getting a scrollbar working is worth a GSoC project ;) |

| 00:10:26 | * | gevaerts counts portalplayer targets |
| 00:11:24 | markun | phinze: being able to use a player as a soundcard, when you are at a place where there is none (like my office PC) |
| 00:11:39 | phinze | ooo |
| 00:11:44 | phinze | fancy |
| 00:11:49 | gevaerts | It should be possible |
| 00:12:59 | phinze | hmm... |
| 00:13:06 | gevaerts | Basically, it would work on PortalPlayer targets, and the Gigabeat S (once people find out how to enable USB there). |

| 00:14:28 | phinze | so the player needs to show up to the host as a USB soundcard? |
| 00:14:56 | gevaerts | There are two caveat with that : we still have reliability problems with USB, and we have no idea when those will be solved. Another is that it uses USB isochronous transfers, which is something we have not done yet, so it might present unexpected difficulties |
| 00:16:10 | gevaerts | phinze: yes. I actually will probably commit some changes soon that makes the player show up as a USB soundcard without any features (no output, no input,...). That's the easy part... |
| 00:16:47 | phinze | gevaerts: those sound like Rather Serious Issues, especially USB reliability |
| 00:17:00 | phinze | how often do problems show up? |
| 00:17:54 | | Quit donutman25 ("ChatZilla 0.9.81 [Firefox 2.0.0.13/2008031114]") |
| 00:18:39 | gevaerts | phinze: depends. What actually seems to happen is that the USB controller can't access RAM fast enough (DMA) if the CPU is doing too much at the same time. It seems more of a problem on PP5022 than on PP5020, so it might work pretty well on H10 |
| 00:18:44 | | Quit cbr|w (Connection timed out) |
| 00:19:55 | gevaerts | phinze: right now, it means that USB storage works well for some people, reasonably well for some others, and not at all for others |
| 00:20:02 | phinze | gotchya, so the result would then be corrupted data? is it detectable? |
| 00:20:39 | phinze | gevaerts: i've never had trouble with mounting my H10 |

| 00:21:15 | BigBambi | phinze: Have you enabled the USB stack then? As by default it isn't on (and you have had to transfer via the OF) |
| 00:21:23 | gevaerts | Not corrupted data. What happens is that USB packets get shortly interrupted, which makes the entire packet fail if the host enforces strict timing constraints. If that happens too often there is basically no connection |
| 00:22:09 | * | gevaerts adds one caveat. If the connection drops halfway through, and doesn't recover, of course you can have some corrupted data... |
| 00:22:11 | phinze | BigBambi: this is where my lack of knowledge of rockbox's internals is going to embarrass me |

| 00:25:26 | phinze | gevaerts: that does sound pretty cool. so in your mind importance(USB Audio) > importance(MTP) ? |
| 00:25:36 | gevaerts | Actually, we don't seem to have those reliability problems on outgoing packets, which are what you use if you want to play music, so these problems might not really be an issue |
| 00:26:16 | gevaerts | phinze: for me personally, yes. I don't care about MTP. Of course others may disagree... |

| 00:27:49 | gevaerts | I think MTP is not useful as such, but it would allow to update the database for new files more efficiently, which is interesting |

| 00:42:38 | phinze | (or anyone who might have knowledge) |
| 00:43:58 | gevaerts | It's hard to be sure. I think it can be done, but I'm not sure if it will be enough work for GSoC. Of course, it's been a while since I was a student, and I know USB reasonably well, so I might be wrong |
| 00:44:40 | gevaerts | But I don't think you need to know that much about USB for this... |

| 00:52:35 | linuxstb | Yes, he's introduced a bug to stop others using it... |
| 00:52:59 | amiconn | There must be some bus priority registers... |
| 00:54:37 | gevaerts | depends on how you look at it. The controller driver was basically there when I started (i.e. the low level hardware stuff), but I did a bit of work on that. The layer up (chapter 9 in USB terms) was also mostly there, and the changes I did there are bigger. The usb storage driver was started when I came into the project, but did not contain very much. I basically finished what others started |
| 00:55:14 | phinze | linuxstb: well i'll be seeing about that once this crosscompiler finishes building :) |
| 00:55:20 | gevaerts | amiconn: yes, but where ? |
| 00:55:39 | amiconn | Somewhere in the system controller range, I'd guess |
| 00:55:45 | phinze | sounds like the H10 is a good platform to try it on though |

| 00:58:32 | gevaerts | Indeed. So now someone has to look through some OF to find all accesses in those ranges and cross out those that are known I guess |
| 00:59:22 | amiconn | Either that, or try to run some OF's diskmode on the emulator and log the register accesses |

| 01:25:20 | gevaerts | saratoga: I'm not sure what you mean... |
| 01:25:50 | saratoga | you had mentioned using some sort of analyiser to look at signal quality for rockbox usb |
| 01:26:02 | * | gevaerts remembers |
| 01:26:28 | saratoga | i'm curious what happened with that |
| 01:27:29 | gevaerts | That was basically a "normal" oscilloscope. I tried using it, but doing signal quality tests requires a working usb test mode which we don't have. However, we are now reasonably confident on where the problems come from |
| 01:28:29 | * | phinze wonders if gevaerts noticed his pm |
| 01:29:02 | gevaerts | It's basically timing. The USB controller can't access RAM fast enough when other parts of the system are also doing RAM-intensive things. The current guess is that there is a register somewhere that sets the priority for RAM acceses |
| 01:29:12 | saratoga | gevaerts: how does that mode work? just produce a few test tones of known voltage and frequency? |
| 01:30:06 | gevaerts | saratoga: actually there are several. Some are just a fixed level (logical 0 or 1), others are worst-case signal patterns |
| 01:30:16 | gevaerts | phinze: I didn't get anything |
| 01:30:43 | saratoga | also, perhaps a stupid question, but you can't use the 48-80kb of IRAM available on the PP targets instead of DRAM? |

| 01:31:47 | scorche | phinze: you need to be registered and identified on freenode in order to send PMs to all...otherwise, you can only send them to folk who filter their PMs which all do by default...i am guessing that gevaerts hasnt changed that to unfiltered |
| 01:32:02 | phinze | scorche: ahh thank you |
| 01:32:04 | gevaerts | Indeed. |
| 01:32:21 | amiconn | Not uncommon that some memory areas aren't dma capable (e.g. also the secondary block of iram in the mcf5249 and mcf5250) |

| 01:38:49 | kugel | Bagder: Just read your blog about the fuze. Did I understand it correctly, that the fuze is pretty much the same player as the e200 v2? |

| 01:41:39 | bird603568 | what do you need help with? |

| 01:47:29 | saratoga | have you read the 2 threads on the V2 sansas in the New Ports forum? |
| 01:47:36 | bird603568 | man i wish i knew how to do that |

| 01:50:02 | bird603568 | i have a sansav2 |
| 01:50:09 | bird603568 | i got the 8 gig for 120$ i think |
| 01:50:39 | saratoga | thats not very cheap |
| 01:50:46 | bird603568 | there are smaller ones |
| 01:50:59 | bird603568 | i wanted 8 gigs since thats holds almost 1/2 of my music |
| 01:51:06 | bird603568 | and it was 10$ more than the 4gig |

| 01:55:23 | bird603568 | they stopped selling them in december |
| 01:55:31 | bird603568 | i thought id luck out and get a v1 but didnt |
| 01:55:53 | saratoga | V1s are still all over ebay |
| 01:55:53 | bird603568 | its the hardware |
| 01:56:06 | saratoga | i think no one is working on the V2 since the V1s are so easy to get |

| 01:59:07 | bird603568 | oh it works it just might be ugly as sin |

| 01:59:42 | bird603568 | ive never programmed firmware tho |
| 01:59:54 | scorche | good time to start.. |
| 02:00 |

| 02:02:02 | arnath | Porting Rockbox can be everything from hard work to extremely hard and time consuming work. Try to gather as many interested friends and fans as possible so that the whole burden isn't put on one single human. |
| 02:02:07 | arnath | sounds a bit depressive :| |
| 02:02:14 | arnath | especially since i don't have any friends that can code a damn :( |
| 02:02:46 | saratoga | well the first step (and a good way to get others interested) would be to take a look at the firmware reverse engineering already done in the V2 thread and get Bagder's Sansa V2 patcher code working |
| 02:02:51 | linuxstb | Make some new friends ;) e.g. on forums where owners of the device hang out. |

| 02:10:57 | kugel | I was hoping that the creator would upload it |
| 02:11:08 | kugel | But he doesn't seem to be interested in it anymore |
| 02:11:27 | saratoga | bird603568: does who? |
| 02:11:43 | scorche | did he GPL the code or just write it? |
| 02:13:00 | kugel | he wrote it for rockbox |
| 02:13:24 | kugel | I'd need to look in the patch again |
| 02:13:35 | kugel | he doesn't answer me, so I can't ask him directly |
| 02:14:33 | kugel | scorche: But he allowed me to have it in my build |
| 02:14:49 | kugel | scorche: since my build is gpl, doesn't it mean that the patch is gpl too then? |
| 02:15:10 | scorche | do you have his full name? |
| 02:15:12 | krazykit | no, it means if it's not GPL, you're violating it |
| 02:16:08 | saratoga | technically you can't add patches from other people unless they license them under the GPL |
| 02:16:48 | kugel | krazykit: he allowed to have it my build |
| 02:17:00 | kugel | Jonas Hurrelmann is his real name |
| 02:17:08 | scorche | people write patches "for" projects all the time and dont GPL them...just because he wrote it "for" your build, doesnt mean it is under the GPL |
| 02:17:27 | kugel | ah ok |
| 02:17:58 | kugel | he talked about some devs some while ago about this patch, and I just found the site |
| 02:17:59 | saratoga | assuming he was aware you were using GPL code, and he gave you permission, you're probably ok |
| 02:18:07 | kugel | http://sse2.net/rb/ |
| 02:18:07 | saratoga | but we certainly can't do that for SVN |
| 02:18:22 | saratoga | we need to be black and white |
| 02:18:57 | kugel | saratoga: As you can see in the link, the convtff.c (the tool to convert ttf to anti-aliased .fnt) is GPL'd |
| 02:19:42 | saratoga | he just emailed that to you? |
| 02:19:50 | kugel | the link? |
| 02:20:16 | kugel | He doesn't answer me at all. |
| 02:20:17 | saratoga | thats an email in there right? |
| 02:20:27 | saratoga | "Subject: [PATCH] Framework for anti-aliased font support on lcd-16bit devices." |
| 02:20:38 | saratoga | wheres it from? |
| 02:21:01 | kugel | he used a git repository for his rockbox source afaik |
| 02:21:13 | scorche | why did he contact you about this and not even mention it to us? |
| 02:21:16 | kugel | not sure where that framework comes from |
| 02:21:27 | kugel | he did |
| 02:21:32 | saratoga | also odd that he would add the rockbox header but remove the GPL from his makefile |
| 02:21:38 | kugel | I think he talked with amiconn and other devs about this patch |
| 02:21:57 | kugel | his IRC name is jott and/or j0tt |
| 02:22:24 | scorche | saratoga: that is odd |
| 02:22:33 | scorche | i seem to remeber the name.. |
| 02:22:41 | kugel | but the convttf.c says that it's GPL'd |
| 02:22:52 | kugel | he made pictureflow ;) |
| 02:23:32 | linuxstb | I remember him discussing the patch here on IRC |
| 02:23:35 | kugel | http://www.rockbox.org/tracker/task/8308 he also made that |
| 02:26:47 | kugel | Any idea what to do about this patch? I'd gladly upload it, but if you fear license and copyright issues I understand that |

| 06:10:26 | TaylorKillian | hey, would anybody mind taking a look at my application before i turn it in? http://www.wright.edu/~killian.6/rockbox-application.pdf |
| 06:10:33 | TaylorKillian | anything i should add or fix? |
| 06:11:53 | JdGordon | *wall of text!* :) |
| 06:12:06 | JdGordon | gimme 20min and ill read if when i get back if your in no hurry |
| 06:14:47 | TaylorKillian | no hurry, thanks :) |
| 06:22:29 | scorche | TaylorKillian: *very* nice proposal, but sadly, my biggest concern is with the idea itself |
| 06:22:56 | TaylorKillian | darn :/ |
| 06:23:42 | scorche | provided the users use their tags properly, rockbox does just fine with users using iTunes as our Database already scrapes the files |
| 06:24:30 | TaylorKillian | ah :/ |
| 06:24:44 | scorche | the main things i think that the users have issues with are iTunes playlists and iTunes's dislike for file-based organizing |
| 06:25:31 | scorche | the latter we cant fix, and the former is just making Rockbox able to read those playlists |
| 06:25:37 | TaylorKillian | i could include a section about allowing upload of drm'ed songs, however i don't know if people would object to that or not |
| 06:26:00 | scorche | as in giving Rockbox the ability to play DRMed files? |
| 06:26:07 | TaylorKillian | yeah |
| 06:26:24 | TaylorKillian | the iPod drm has already been reverse engineered |
| 06:26:35 | scorche | yeah...that is a no-do |
| 06:26:43 | TaylorKillian | i figured |
| 06:26:58 | scorche | DRM and open-source doesnt quite mesh together well |
| 06:27:34 | TaylorKillian | heh |
| 06:27:59 | TaylorKillian | ah well, maybe my other proposal will have a shot ;) |
| 06:28:48 | scorche | hrm...well, we could always find something else for you to work on, as you seem quite able :) |
| 06:30:20 | TaylorKillian | yeah, i applied to do the arm emulator, however I don't think that i'll get it |

| 06:43:44 | saratoga4 | that ipod proposal was a bit odd |
| 06:44:02 | saratoga4 | he proposed all that without looking up the problem and realizing that it was all documented elsewhere |
| 06:44:26 | saratoga4 | however, its good to hear he applied for the emulator |
| 06:44:30 | saratoga4 | i really want that project |
| 06:44:35 | saratoga4 | just not enough to do it myself |
| 06:44:40 | scorche | which part was documented? |
| 06:44:50 | saratoga4 | the process by which itunes syncs the ipod |
| 06:44:57 | scorche | ah |
| 06:45:08 | saratoga4 | no need to use a USB sniffer to figure that out |
| 06:45:08 | JdGordon | isnt just the db documented? |
| 06:45:18 | scorche | i just have issues with the idea itself rather than the process |
| 06:45:32 | saratoga4 | itunes actually just copies files, updates teh db, copies album art and thats more or less it |
| 06:45:43 | saratoga4 | the only nonstandard part is syncing the clock and updating firmware as I recall |
| 06:46:07 | scorche | yeah, but do we really want to add all that just for the ipods? |
| 06:46:26 | saratoga4 | presumably it could be used for any player though |
| 06:46:38 | saratoga4 | or at least those with a software USB stack |
| 06:46:42 | JdGordon | well... if it worked oyu could trick itunes into thinking any target is an ipod |
| 06:47:13 | saratoga4 | thinking about it more, it might be necessary to reverse engineer how itunes identifies an ipod |
| 06:47:21 | | Quit saratoga33 ("CGI:IRC (Ping timeout)") |
| 06:47:24 | saratoga4 | if it does more then just check the USB id string |

| 07:02:16 | scorche | (referring to devices like the sansa and ipods rather than the gigabeat which is in the proposal) |
| 07:04:13 | saratoga4 | we can emulate the parts supported by rockbox just by doing whatever the drivers in SVN expect |
| 07:04:24 | saratoga4 | thats good enough for some basic stuff like optmization |
| 07:04:42 | saratoga4 | next we can try and run the OF |
| 07:05:04 | saratoga4 | this will probably fail initially, but you can see where it fails by logging all the memory addresses it accesses |
| 07:05:23 | saratoga4 | hopefully you could eventually implement everything well enough that it runs |
| 07:05:40 | saratoga4 | particularly for targets like the Gigabeat where most or all of the hardware is documented |
| 07:06:42 | saratoga4 | furthermore, the things that don't work in the emulator but do work in rockbox are probably things we'd be interested in improving in rockbox, so its still interesting even if it can't run the OF completely |
| 07:06:57 | | Quit Rob2222 (Connection timed out) |
| 07:08:15 | saratoga4 | and for a lot of things, just emulating a bootloader is enough (figuring out checksums, hardware init sequences, etc) |
| 07:08:47 | saratoga4 | Toni for instance was able to get some of the addresses for the AS chip before we had the datasheet just by watching what the OF wrote to it in his emulator |
| 07:09:06 | saratoga4 | and his emulator didn't even really work |
| 07:09:38 | scorche | ah...so is mainly a way to debug/log the OF since we cant through the device |

| 08:29:52 | amiconn | JdGordon: When playback gets near the end of the list, as soon as the whole rest completely fits into RAM, the playlist code will tell playback there's nothing more to buffer. Don't make any assumptions as to how many tracks before the end this happens. Could be as a fraction of a track (e.g. a long FLAC track), as well has hundreds of tracks, even right at the start of a playlist (e.g. a language course with tiny snippets, speex compressed) |
| 08:31:40 | JdGordon | yeah, im trying to remove gaps between playlists by setting it up so a playlist could never actually end (for dirplay anyway) |
| 08:31:49 | JdGordon | that speex example is a bit worrying thoughg |
| 08:32:33 | JdGordon | if there is only a few tracks still in the playlist then moving buffers around wont be noticably slow... if it needs to move hundreds around that could be bad |
| 08:32:41 | amiconn | This indefiniteness is one of the main reasons for MoB... |
| 08:33:17 | amiconn | Gaps between playlists? |
| 08:34:09 | JdGordon | so playback already starts buffering the next playlist while the current one is finishing |
| 08:34:18 | JdGordon | its very noticable with dirplay |

| 08:34:38 | JdGordon | .. also the point is moving the dirplay functionality out of playback |
| 08:34:43 | amiconn | Ah, that. Another feature I never use |
| 08:34:49 | * | amiconn always forgets about it |
| 08:34:54 | | Part bughunter2 ("Leaving.") |
| 08:36:05 | * | JdGordon curses the speex example! |
| 08:36:39 | amiconn | Well, it's known as the 'norvegian language course problem' in the rockbox world for years |
| 08:37:47 | JdGordon | ok, I'm tihnking that if too much of the playlist buffer is being used then just tell playback the playlist isnt finished but its not ready to find the next playlist yet |
| 08:37:59 | JdGordon | which ideally wouldnt be a usual case |
| 08:38:34 | JdGordon | otherwise, the new playlist would be created with the old current one being shown as "queued" |
| 08:38:48 | amiconn | Very short snippets can exhaust almost any finite number of slots. When snippets are so short that 16 of them will fit into the buffer on archos, the hwcodec playback engine will fail (about the only problem in that engine) |
| 08:39:18 | amiconn | It won't crash though, but repeat the 16th track over and over until you manually skip it |

| 08:44:57 | JdGordon | hmm... is it worth splitting the dirplay filenames up so the directory is stored once instead of each file storing the full path? |
| 08:46:04 | LinusN | JdGordon: how would you do that? |
| 08:46:23 | JdGordon | im not entirely sure just yet |

| 08:56:42 | mrkiko | Hi all! I will not be able to use rockbox for long I think - my player has been totally disassembled during a car accident :) |
| 08:57:21 | mrkiko | I haven't tried to get it running - I think at least the internal hard disk is damaged... |
| 08:57:44 | cool_walking_ | You think this... yet you haven't tried? |
| 08:58:15 | Galois | did you get disassembled? |
| 08:58:23 | jhMikeS | mrkiko: as long as you weren't disassembled during the car accident be greatful for that |
| 08:58:30 | mrkiko | ehehe... even if I try to be optimistic, it seems hard this has not happened |
| 08:58:53 | Galois | I had a laptop hard drive that survived a bad car crash |
| 08:59:01 | mrkiko | No - the only sign of the accident is a big sign on the front |
| 08:59:03 | mrkiko | of my face |
| 08:59:08 | Galois | the laptop itself was toast, but repairable |
| 08:59:10 | mrkiko | (I don't know how to say it in english) |
| 08:59:24 | mrkiko | My laptop was not with me... |
| 08:59:27 | Galois | scar? |
| 08:59:54 | mrkiko | scar -> scared? |
| 09:00 |
| 09:00:02 | mrkiko | Yes, I was very very scared up... |
| 09:00:11 | mrkiko | My brother is at hospital actually... |
| 09:00:17 | mrkiko | but it seems nothing grave happened |

| 10:03:11 | pondlife | I think the click is still too long on some targets (so sounds like a beep), but that's a different issue I think. |

| 10:29:16 | amiconn | pondlife: The hanging beep on pp is definitely not an alignment issue |
| 10:29:22 | pondlife | OK |
| 10:29:33 | amiconn | If it were, it would cause a data abort |
| 10:29:52 | amiconn | Btw, imho the current implementation of keyclick is completely useless |
| 10:30:08 | pondlife | I find it very useful |
| 10:30:16 | pondlife | It's far from ideal |
| 10:30:57 | amiconn | It's not at all related to actually registering the button event |
| 10:30:58 | pixelma | pondlife: I remember that having voice enabled also prevented it from beeeeping |
| 10:31:20 | pondlife | Yes, if pcm_is_playing() it's not an issue, only if it has to kick off pcm playback |
| 10:31:36 | pondlife | Voice/fades may mask the issue too |
| 10:32:02 | pondlife | amiconn: No, it's related to the button event being dequeued |
| 10:32:17 | pondlife | Slower, but in some ways more useful |
| 10:32:33 | pondlife | i.e. you know that the client received the input |
| 10:32:46 | pondlife | Ideally it should be in firmware |
| 10:33:07 | pondlife | And should use piezo if possible, PCM if not |
| 10:34:22 | amiconn | No, you know that rockbox processed the event... but that's something I'll notice without any beep |
| 10:34:41 | pondlife | Depends if you're looking at the display, maybe |
| 10:34:44 | kugel | JdGordon: Have you allready taken a look at FS #8799 ? |
| 10:34:56 | JdGordon | 8799? |
| 10:35:01 | amiconn | The beep would be helpful when queueing button events (especially since the ui gets more and more laggy) :( |
| 10:35:27 | pondlife | Yes, that could improve perceived responsiveness |
| 10:35:50 | pondlife | Feel free to work out how it could fit into firmware, yet still use pcm |
| 10:36:01 | kugel | JdGordon: Ehm, yes |
| 10:36:15 | JdGordon | which is...? |
| 10:36:15 | pixelma | kugel: sorry to say but that comment is worth less than $0,02 - as I said myself I'm not completely happy with it either and it's there for discussion. If you couldn't try on the target yourself I can't take it seriously, at least now I know someone discovered it |
| 10:36:45 | kugel | pixelma: Ok |
| 10:37:40 | pixelma | I hoped for some ideas of others too |
| 10:37:47 | kugel | JdGordon: Just browse to it, or can't you atm? It's my custom list patch |
| 10:38:04 | JdGordon | kugel: arg.. yes, i looket at v8 yesterday... didnt give it a full look though |
| 10:38:45 | JdGordon | imho it would be a better use of time fixing the rest of the screens to work with viewports than fidling with this atm |
| 10:39:01 | kugel | JdGordon: Not sure, but you might think about the one todo: that it's ineffective the reparse the viewport structure from settings at every redraw |
| 10:39:27 | amiconn | JdGordon: Btw, one lagginess increase seems to be due to viewported lists |
| 10:39:42 | JdGordon | kugel: I know... another reason to leave that aside |
| 10:39:52 | JdGordon | amiconn: in which lists? |
| 10:39:54 | kugel | JdGordon: I wanted that feature more than viewports for other screens, that's why I focussed on that first. I can take a look at viewportifying other screens though |
| 10:39:57 | * | JdGordon hoped he got the worst of it |
| 10:40:20 | amiconn | Now when booting an archos, the screen goes completely blank after the rockbox logo at boot for a fraction of a second |
| 10:40:36 | JdGordon | only at boot? |

| 11:35:08 | | Part linuxstb ("Leaving") |
| 11:35:30 | pondlife | gevaerts: "a really well designed UI" is not likely to be a statement we can all agree on. |

| 11:35:51 | gevaerts | I can even make sense of the PDT times on the GSoC page :) I have both PDT and CET in my clock applet |
| 11:36:52 | B4gder | yeah, I use this fancy firefox clock thing on one of my browsers and it helps a lot |
| 11:37:04 | linuxstb | I've been helping scorche with the PHP for the new themes site - here's what I've come up with so far - linuxstb.cream.org/themes/">http://linuxstb.cream.org/themes/ (it's using the old rockbox-themes.org content for testing - that will need to be cleared) |
| 11:37:32 | gevaerts | Especially if you're working with people from different timezones it helps to always know what time they have |

| 11:38:35 | B4gder | linuxstb: it looks nice and a good start! |
| 11:38:56 | pondlife | linuxstb: I like the standard-left-menu |
| 11:39:08 | B4gder | it would be cool with some rating and download counters to get to see "most popular" etc |
| 11:39:08 | linuxstb | B4gder: "a good start" ? That's all there will be... ;) (at least for v1) |
| 11:39:14 | pondlife | Anything in particular that needs testing |
| 11:39:23 | B4gder | linuxstb: isn't v1 the start? ;-) |
| 11:39:30 | disorganizer | are more than 2 screenshots supported? |
| 11:39:32 | JdGordon | linuxstb: can you get it to use the full browser width? |
| 11:39:33 | gevaerts | The front looks familiar :) |
| 11:39:35 | linuxstb | pondlife: The upload facility will need testing, but I'm still working on it. |
| 11:39:39 | pondlife | OK |
| 11:40:04 | JdGordon | linuxstb: i.e more than 3 themes per ro |
| 11:40:05 | JdGordon | w |
| 11:40:16 | pondlife | We're still going to restart with no content and carefully filter for compatibilty, right? |
| 11:40:30 | * | disorganizer hopes so |
| 11:40:42 | B4gder | I'm sure we'll get content fast enough anyway |
| 11:41:11 | linuxstb | JdGordon: How would you do that/ |
| 11:41:29 | * | JdGordon doesnt do web development... |
| 11:41:34 | linuxstb | pondlife: Yes, the intention is for the site to start blank, and for the uploads to stictly validate submissions (including running checkwps) |
| 11:41:39 | gevaerts | linuxstb: you could just put them all in a list and use CSS to make it look like a table |
| 11:42:10 | linuxstb | gevaerts: Patches welcome ;) (I'm intending to put the PHP in SVN) |
| 11:42:30 | disorganizer | and let the user decide how many themes per row ... if possible? and sorting, of course :-) |
| 11:43:12 | linuxstb | The important thing is to collect the metadata accurately, and to make sure the theme .zip files are correct. We can play with display options and filters/sorting etc later. |
| 11:43:14 | gevaerts | linuxstb: maybe I'll have a look at it some time, if nobody beats me to it. I know a bit about css, but I have to look things up a lot |
| 11:43:48 | gevaerts | Have there been thoughts about automatically generating the screenshots ? |
| 11:44:11 | disorganizer | then indeed i would prefer one theme per row because imho its easier toscroll through the site with that |
| 11:44:23 | * | gevaerts diverts the discussion from actual UI design to lower-level and more interesting things |
| 11:44:56 | linuxstb | gevaerts: Sounds like a fun feature to add to checkwps... |
| 11:45:31 | | Quit tessarakt ("Client exiting") |
| 11:45:50 | linuxstb | gevaerts: But don't we have a theme editor on its way that could make screenshorts? ;) |
| 11:45:56 | disorganizer | problem is: if a theme has 2 timed sets of what its displaying, for example playlist-count for 5 seconds and playlist-name for 10 seconds (just an example), would we allow more than 2 screenshots? |
| 11:46:36 | gevaerts | linuxstb: some of them have a screenshot feature listed. If they can make that functionality available in a headless mode, we're done |
| 11:47:16 | * | gevaerts didn't mean to suggest that linuxstb had to implement it himself :) |
| 11:48:07 | linuxstb | For the moment, I just want to make sure we're collecting the right data about the theme - here's the current version of the upload form - linuxstb.cream.org/themes/upload.php">http://linuxstb.cream.org/themes/upload.php |
| 11:48:57 | B4gder | linuxstb: what about a given password or similar in case the user wants to update the theme? |
| 11:50:01 | B4gder | of course nobody will remember theirs anyway |
| 11:50:04 | disorganizer | linuxstb: as said, what if 2 wps screenshots would make sense? |
| 11:50:06 | linuxstb | B4gder: I was thinking the email address could be used for that - to email the user a password |
| 11:50:13 | pondlife | linuxstb: If I were to specify "Target Device: FM Recorder" I assume it would be made available to Recorder v1/v2 users too? |
| 11:50:13 | B4gder | good idea |
| 11:50:29 | * | gevaerts might test-submit a theme tonight (if that's already supposed to work..) |
| 11:50:30 | Llorean | I don't even know if you'd need to do passwords |
| 11:50:32 | linuxstb | pondlife: Yes, that's the intention. |
| 11:50:34 | disorganizer | b4gder: what about using the wiki permissions? they have a password attached to it, the email-address (afaik) and even the realname |
| 11:51:02 | Llorean | B4gder, linuxstb: Why not, when someone tries to upload a theme with the same name and target, it simply uses the email address to mail a confirmation link of some sort for overwriting? No password to remember / deal with. |
| 11:51:03 | disorganizer | linuxstb: i will also upload a theme later |
| 11:51:11 | linuxstb | gevaerts: No, the upload doesn't work yet - but hopefully I'll get that finished this evening. It's a lot of work as I'm highly paranoid about the contents of the zip, and also want to very strictly validate it. |
| 11:51:13 | Llorean | linuxstb, B4gder: Sorry, *original* email address |
| 11:51:18 | gevaerts | disorganizer: different server, so possible data availability problems ? |
| 11:51:30 | B4gder | Llorean: indeed, since the address isn't shown that's a pretty good idea |
| 11:51:51 | disorganizer | linuxstb: ok. just mention it in the irc log when the upload should work with a link |
| 11:52:18 | linuxstb | disorganizer: Don't worry, I will do. The upload is going to need testing... |
| 11:52:23 | disorganizer | any restrictions on zip formatting? (folder structure, naming etc) |
| 11:52:23 | gevaerts | linuxstb: of course. I do expect a reasonable amount of paranoia from this kind of system. Nobody wants viruses and trojans in it... |
| 11:53:01 | disorganizer | could we use the forum useraccount for access validation? (and for nicknames) |
| 11:53:04 | Llorean | disorganizer: It should be the "proper" theme structure (when extracted to the root of the device, the images, .wps, .cfg, etc all end up in the appropriate subfolders) |
| 11:53:30 | disorganizer | llorean: ok. so that should be linked from the submit page or mentioned there *g* |
| 11:53:37 | * | gevaerts will of course upload a black-on-black theme that turns voice off, sets weird equalizer settings, and sets the brightness to minimum |
| 11:53:47 | pondlife | linuxstb: Will you be able to validate the zip format? |
| 11:53:57 | Llorean | disorganizer: I believe *somewhere* we've got a document containing the intended submission guidelines for this new site. Dunno where though. |
| 11:54:06 | disorganizer | gevaerts: why not a theme replacing the bin with a empty file? |
| 11:54:14 | linuxstb | pondlife: Yes, that's what I'm working on at the moment. |
| 11:54:18 | pondlife | Great |
| 11:54:37 | disorganizer | will the submitter get a kind of information why his theme was rejected? |
| 11:54:45 | linuxstb | disorganizer: Of course |
| 11:54:46 | gevaerts | disorganizer: that's no fun. I will however try to replace cabbiev2 with my theme, to make resetting settings not work :) |
| 11:55:14 | disorganizer | gevaerts: you, sir, are definitely evil by heart |
| 11:55:16 | Llorean | gevaerts: And that's *exactly* why we also need a .cfg validator that removes all "non-theme" lines from .cfg files. Thanks for volunteering. :) It should also be easy to update with its own list of which lines are valid, for when settings change without needing to recompile. Thank you very much. :-P |
| 11:55:54 | disorganizer | llorean: in fact we just need to check than NO original files of the svn are overwritten :-) |
| 11:56:20 | Llorean | disorganizer: Well, the real problem is that a .cfg can change any setting, not just theme settings. |
| 11:56:30 | Llorean | Any theme should have an explicit list of settings (no more, no less). |
| 11:56:32 | disorganizer | we have a kind of factory reset though |
| 11:56:47 | | Join psychorabbit [0] (n=7932c29b@gateway/web/cgi-irc/labb.contactor.se/x-45015674673ef975) |
| 11:56:48 | Llorean | If a setting should be "as default", it should still be there, but should set the default value (or no value in the case of backdrops) |
| 11:56:55 | disorganizer | and we would need a "complain" button on the dl-page of course so users can complain to admins if such a theme is upped |
| 11:57:11 | gevaerts | Llorean: I fully agree that this theme must be rejected. I fear that I'm not the right person to decide what settings to allow (I know nearly nothing about that area) |

| 11:57:42 | disorganizer | imho we could do something else: |
| 11:58:02 | gevaerts | linuxstb: maybe reject a theme if it's filenames clash with any other theme ? |
| 11:58:02 | | Quit psychorabbit (Client Quit) |
| 11:58:11 | Llorean | gevaerts: Well, a .cfg validity check script or app shouldn't be too hard to write anyawy. |
| 11:58:12 | Llorean | anyway. |
| 11:58:13 | disorganizer | we could allow only color and viewport and wps setting as well as fonts. if a theme needs something else, people need to request it explicitly and the devs can decide |
| 11:58:25 | JdGordon | gevaerts: that wont work.. alot of themes are just updates of existing ones |
| 11:58:42 | linuxstb | Llorean: Then I look forward to it from you ;) PHP would be pefect... |
| 11:58:48 | Llorean | disorganizer: I already said there's an explicit list of "theme" settings which are the only ones it should be allowed to change. |
| 11:59:02 | JdGordon | Llorean: yes... yes it is hard to write |
| 11:59:12 | Llorean | JdGordon: Depends on what you consider "valid" |
| 11:59:18 | gevaerts | JdGordon: if they're updates, IMHO they should be handled as such. What I want to avoid is getting incompatible unrelated themes |
| 11:59:33 | JdGordon | no... depends how up-to-date you want the config to be |
| 11:59:39 | Llorean | JdGordon: I consider "valid" as long as it has one line beginning with each of the settings. I don't care what the values are, because confirming the validity of those is ridiculous. |
| 11:59:54 | linuxstb | gevaerts: Each theme name (the name of the zip/wps/cfg etc) will be checked for uniqueness for that LCD size. |
| 12:00 |
| 12:00:07 | Llorean | JdGordon: Basically, it's as simple as counting the lines in a file, then making sure each of a list of substrings begins one, and only one, line. If that's not true, toss it. :-P |
| 12:00:08 | pondlife | Where's the definition of which .cfg fields are considered part of a theme? |
| 12:00:11 | disorganizer | i wonder how we handle the situation where "old" themes need an update and someone else (not the original author) wants to do it. will the "old" theme be moved and the update be submitted as new? |
| 12:00:14 | gevaerts | OK. That should do the trick |
| 12:00:48 | Llorean | linuxstb: I was thinking of it as an excuse to try to learn something new, but if not, I may go back and try to do it in PHP so it can be injected into the upload process. |
| 12:01:05 | Llorean | JdGordon: So how about "my vision of validation is relatively simple"? |
| 12:01:41 | pondlife | Maybe, when we add a new theme option(e.g. viewport: ), could the hosted themes be bulk-updated to select the prior default? |
| 12:01:50 | linuxstb | pondlife: That's the idea ;) |
| 12:01:57 | pondlife | Even betterer |
| 12:01:57 | amiconn | linuxstb: Don't forget that there sometimes could be 2 theme variants for the same lcd size (rtc vs. non-rtc) |
| 12:02:22 | Llorean | pondlife: Since .cfg files are just text files, you should be able to just append the "default" line on the end. Especially if the settings use "viewport:" without parameters to reset the default, since then it doesn't even need target-specificity. |
| 12:02:23 | disorganizer | also, if themes are not valid any more (for whatever reason), will they be completely dropped or "parked" somewhere for a later update? |
| 12:03:10 | pondlife | Llorean: Yes, absolutely - I was just wondering if the "validity parser" should/could contain functionality to do this appending. |
| 12:03:23 | Llorean | pondlife: I think it's a job for a separate app. |
| 12:03:37 | pondlife | So, if someone uploads an old theme, that is fine but has some recent stuff missing, it would get fixed up. |
| 12:03:53 | pondlife | You're probably right though |
| 12:04:03 | Llorean | Your point on "old themes" is possibly true. |
| 12:04:17 | Llorean | But I *think* people should just be rejected with information like "missing viewportlist line" |
| 12:04:18 | pondlife | It could save a bit of time |
| 12:04:21 | Llorean | So they know it exists. |
| 12:04:38 | *** | Saving seen data "./dancer.seen" |
| 12:04:45 | pondlife | I'd warn them, then ask if they'd like a default line adding. |
| 12:04:50 | Llorean | Possibly |
| 12:05:08 | pondlife | Problem is, they would probably not test the modified theme...# |
| 12:05:11 | JdGordon | Llorean: well yes, that is pretty simple |
| 12:06:06 | disorganizer | also if they need to do it manually, they learn to do it every time and how it works *eg* |
| 12:06:11 | linuxstb | amiconn: Yes. And I think there are other hardware-specific things such as the virtual disk LED, hold buttons, tagcache, sw/hwcodec, pitch-screen, ..... |
| 12:06:21 | linuxstb | (... charging...) |
| 12:06:55 | pondlife | So you need a set of feature bits as well as LCD details.. |
| 12:07:03 | linuxstb | pondlife: I would rather not start modifying the uploaded file - at least not initially. |
| 12:07:09 | pixelma | hold state is now shown on software hold targets too |
| 12:07:10 | pondlife | OK, just a thought |
| 12:07:12 | Llorean | pondlife: Also, my slight worry, is that if we add default lines they may also go and upload the same theme (without defaults) to another theme site. Then someone complains that a theme is breaking their device usability, and it's one we find on our site, and gets us confused. |
| 12:07:30 | Llorean | pondlife: So, I'd rather "force" them to take the time to fix their theme, even if it does sound a little contrived and "mean spirited" perhaps |
| 12:07:45 | pondlife | No, at least they fix their copy then |
| 12:07:58 | pondlife | In other words, I agree |
| 12:08:30 | | Join wisp_sh [0] (n=wisp@acct.icf.org.ru) |
| 12:08:32 | Llorean | JdGordon: I think going much beyond that is actually making the system more fragile. If you try to check to make sure the list viewport is big enough to be usable, or that the colors of fg/bg aren't unreadable, you end up with either an overly-restrictive system (erring on the side of caution) or a system that isn't restrictive enough, but people still expect to work. |
| 12:08:58 | Llorean | JdGordon: So I kinda think "just make sure it has all the lines, and trust the user to set appropriate values" is the right kind of check for .cfg. At least, in my mind |
| 12:10:02 | JdGordon | I was thinking more of the problem of going from settings_list.c -> parser, we've agreed before trying to keep 2 files in sync is too much effort |
| 12:10:56 | pondlife | We only just got rid of FILES :) |

| 12:17:58 | pondlife | Nico_P: V1? |
| 12:18:02 | Llorean | JdGordon: Well, the interesting thing is, when a new setting shows up, we're going to have to write some sort of script to update all the existing themes with a default value(s) |
| 12:18:07 | Nico_P | pondlife: checking |
| 12:18:16 | Llorean | JdGordon: When doing so, the same script can add it to the definition file the checker program uses for all future themes submitted. |
| 12:18:47 | Llorean | So while it does require keeping two in sync, it could be a lot worse. The update for existing themes is basically going to have to be triggered manually anyway |

| 12:47:15 | BigBambi | GodEater: I've just been reading the logs - that £2270 for 12 weeks at 40 hours per week is £4.73 an hour - compare with minimum wage at £5.52 for over 21 and £4.60 for 18-21 |
| 12:47:41 | GodEater | so pretty shocking then ;) |
| 12:47:57 | BigBambi | yup |
| 12:48:05 | gevaerts | Of course, we do it for free :) |
| 12:48:13 | GodEater | well there is that yes ;) |
| 12:48:18 | BigBambi | True |
| 12:48:56 | BigBambi | But a full summer job paying less than the minimum wage isn't very enticing from a purely earning money point of view |
| 12:49:27 | BigBambi | (or I guess for most students it is the minimum wage, not less than) |

| 12:53:13 | linuxstb | Between about $5 and $8 depending on state... |
| 12:53:35 | linuxstb | Or $4 in Montana... |

| 15:47:35 | JdGordon | ... serious quesiton which may provoke some angry repsonses.... what the heck is the point of the queue insert options? |
| 15:48:09 | JdGordon | the only reason it would be useful is if the playlist is saved to a m3u, in which case the file could be removed easily with a text editor |
| 15:48:11 | PaulJam | to keep the playlist clean? |
| 15:48:18 | JdGordon | how? |
| 15:48:18 | | Join FOAD_ [0] (n=dok@dinah.blub.net) |
| 15:48:40 | JdGordon | and who cares how "unclean" the played part of the playlist is? |
| 15:50:18 | PaulJam | for example if you use the play next functionalitty for an album then the playing track gets only queued, so the playlist index is the same as the track number for the album. |
| 15:51:22 | JdGordon | so? |
| 15:51:48 | JdGordon | its dawned on me we waste a fair bit doubling up those instert optoin |
| 15:51:51 | JdGordon | options |
| 15:53:52 | PaulJam | i don't really care myself if the queue options would get removed. i just think in some (rare) occassions they could be useful. |
| 15:54:02 | | Part mokkurkalve |
| 15:57:56 | PaulJam | but it would propably be good if you bring that topic up the mailinglist for discussion before you remove the options. |

| 17:23:01 | mrkiko | Then: if you want I have an already patched and working h300.bin file, I know it's illegal to pass it to you, but if you dn't have time to do differently, then I 'm available; My h300.hex file |
| 17:23:06 | mrkiko | contains a 1.29EU fw + bootloader |
| 17:23:49 | renkho | 1.29 EU :o |
| 17:23:56 | renkho | does it plays videos and stuff? |
| 17:24:09 | zlined | LambdaCalculus37: well the problem comes when i'm skipping through songs in a playlist and loading songs individually. once the song loads (takes >15s) then skipping 3-4 songs back and forth is fine |
| 17:24:23 | renkho | 'cause i used the 1.31K 'cause i found a lot of people who recommend that one |
| 17:25:10 | zlined | but skipping more than that takes longer. i'm guessing this is a harware limitation/implementation problem |
| 17:26:02 | PaulJam | the only difference between 1.31k and 1.29k is the minesweeper game afaik. so you won't loose anything important (you propably won't use the OF anymore) |
| 17:26:24 | Nico_P | zlined: that's with the current SVN? |
| 17:26:54 | Nico_P | oh yes r16899, didn't see tha |
| 17:26:55 | zlined | if i remember right i don't think it took as long to load a song in the r16xx? version...i think...hence why i was after old svns to check against |
| 17:27:18 | zlined | yeah that's right |
| 17:27:22 | | Quit PaulJam (".") |
| 17:27:27 | pixelma | linuxstb: just saw a weird effect when loading my edited Nano iCatcher - I had a typo in "codec.bmp" (was only "codec" without the".bmp" but loading this .wps did not fail completely (just this bitmap and the background was missing). Thought the WPS parser should have rejected it? |

| 17:27:50 | Nico_P | zlined: in my tests it's only sometimes that an unbuffered song takes a long time to load... is it all the time for you? |
| 17:27:50 | zlined | and before i meant r10xx or something i think, it was a yr or two old the last version i remember |
| 17:28:13 | zlined | for me it's 90% of the time |
| 17:28:28 | Nico_P | ouch |
| 17:28:59 | Nico_P | do you skip around a lot? and fast? |
| 17:29:35 | zlined | depends what mood i'm in:P |
| 17:29:41 | zlined | but yeah i do sometimes |
| 17:30:13 | zlined | i just tested now and loading an unbuffered song takes 30s |
| 17:30:29 | Nico_P | is there a kind of skipping pattern that you find leads to the most waiting? |
| 17:31:10 | Nico_P | normally skipping to an unbuffered song should be quite OK if you take the disk startup into account |
| 17:32:35 | zlined | hmm not sure if it's the other random files stored on the drive that's causing a problem |
| 17:32:50 | zlined | or disk fragmentation |
| 17:33:36 | zlined | there's no pattern to it, it'll just take a long time to load so long as you're going to an unbuffered song |
| 17:34:11 | Nico_P | I'm sure you realize it's expected for unbuffered songs to take longer than buffered ones? |
| 17:34:49 | Nico_P | 30 secs is too much though, I have to agree |
| 17:35:07 | renkho | mrkiko: is there any risk in downgrade the firmware from 1.31K to 1.29K? |
| 17:35:27 | | Quit SirFunk (Read error: 110 (Connection timed out)) |
| 17:35:44 | zlined | yeah i know, but it is a bit long as it is at the moment. i'm not sure if the code is writtem such that you buffer 5songs then play the first song |
| 17:35:47 | mrkiko | renkho: no risks I know. |
| 17:36:09 | | Join SirFunk [0] (n=Sir@206-159-155-246.netsync.net) |
| 17:36:22 | zlined | and the old code maybe buffer the first then play it. then buffer the rest of the songs in time |
| 17:36:36 | Nico_P | zlined: it plays the first song as soon as it has enough data |
| 17:36:52 | Nico_P | but I've seen some cases where for some reason it waits for all the data of the song |
| 17:36:55 | mrkiko | renkho: aniway - if you need the .bin file please tell me. I'm using actually a boot loader wich is not affected by the problems I encountered with non-lcd remote controllers. |
| 17:37:01 | Nico_P | so that's probably what's happening to you |

| 17:42:04 | mrkiko | Nico_P: regarding playback... |
| 17:42:27 | mrkiko | Nico_P: as I said some days ago I noticed that on my plater at least, sometimes when the disk has to spin up |
| 17:43:11 | mrkiko | the playback instead of going to the next song as it should, re-starts the actual song. I can reproduce it very reliably when auto-change dir is enabled and I'm asking the player to switch from the last song on a dir and start on the next of the other. |
| 17:43:33 | mrkiko | Nico_P: Then, interestingly, it skips the first song of the destination dir, and passes to the second one. |

| 18:12:35 | pixelma | no, I don't |
| 18:12:47 | renkho | is this possible: resize the partition of my iriver h320, and leave 7 GB free space, and then use that space for a linux "live" install , for after that that will be abble to boot? i mean if i install a linux bootloader on that partition and mark it as a booteable..? |
| 18:12:48 | domonoky | mrkiko: sure it would be good, go forward and port a TTS :-) |
| 18:13:03 | Nico_P | hmm I guess he meant crossfade and not fadeout... |
| 18:13:04 | pixelma | Nico_P: nor any other fading |

| 19:50:11 | PaulJam | mrkiko: did you mean "anti skip buffer"? |

| 19:58:50 | Buschel | hi folks |
| 19:59:22 | LambdaCalculus37 | Hi Buschel! |
| 19:59:34 | mrkiko | Hi Buschel! |
| 19:59:53 | Buschel | question: do we know where the CPU load goes while playback (except decoding of course)? |
| 20:00 |
| 20:00:37 | mrkiko | probably this is a target specific question, right? |
| 20:00:42 | Buschel | it seems like ~4MHz are used in addition to the codec itself, ~1MHz of it is the dsp-stuff (withput any EQ-stuff) |
| 20:00:53 | Buschel | ah yes, talking about PP502x |
| 20:01:24 | | Join Horscht [0] (n=Horscht@xbmc/user/horscht) |
| 20:01:56 | Buschel | i did the following: test_codec with mpc -> needs about 24MHz from the calculations |
| 20:02:21 | Buschel | then playing back the same file and wait until all is buffered. |
| 20:02:49 | Buschel | go into the debug menu and check the boost ratio, calculate the average needed clock from it |
| 20:02:51 | mrkiko | Buschel: with ape? How is the situation? |
| 20:03:08 | Buschel | i did only test for mpc and mp3 |
| 20:03:24 | Buschel | same situation (but mp3 needs more cpu for the codec) |
| 20:04:25 | Buschel | e.g. pure decoding mpc (~24MHz), mp3 (~37MHz), playback mpc (~28MHz), mp3 (~41MHz) |
| 20:04:54 | *** | Saving seen data "./dancer.seen" |
| 20:05:09 | Buschel | this is when letting the debug menu update each 10s to avoid CPIU load through LCD updates |

| 20:05:54 | Buschel | so: where do the residual ~3Mhz go? I2S/DMA? |
| 20:06:37 | mrkiko | Another "interesting" question: how much speech require the cpu to work? |
| 20:06:51 | Buschel | ? |
| 20:07:01 | domonoky | maybe general os jobs.. but it seems a bit strange to measure this in mhz.. :-) |

| 20:08:28 | domonoky | ah, so you are comparing decoding vs playback ? |
| 20:08:34 | Buschel | yep |
| 20:08:44 | mrkiko | Is here accounted even device drivers work and interrupts? |
| 20:09:22 | Buschel | it should be taken into account as the overall clock is estimated |
| 20:09:42 | domonoky | the the 3Mhz are surely used by the "playing" of the sound, so playback managment and transport of audio data (i2s etc) |
| 20:09:57 | | Join spiorf [0] (n=spiorf@host140-214-dynamic.20-79-r.retail.telecomitalia.it) |
| 20:10:11 | Buschel | domonoky: that's my understanding. |
| 20:10:38 | mrkiko | Buschel: aniway some time ago here was a discussion regarding the complexity of playback.c |
| 20:10:59 | domonoky | maybe also WPS ? does running the testcodec show a WPS ? |
| 20:11:44 | Buschel | domonoky: no, only the debug menu for the audio thread (update each 10s) |
| 20:12:20 | Buschel | WPS is another 4-5MHz on 5G iPod |
| 20:12:37 | domonoky | does the testcodec use the normal buffering ? |
| 20:13:28 | Buschel | i hoped to reduce the "residual" playback-load via the dsp-optimization, but when I began to work on it I saw that dsp only needs ~1Mhz of the 4MHz |
| 20:14:28 | Buschel | domonoky: no. but in my measurements on playback the buffering was finished |
| 20:15:32 | Buschel | so, in fact: nobody did any profilings yet :( |
| 20:15:42 | domonoky | so it would be interesting to know how much the audio transport costs, ie a measurement without i2s |
| 20:15:52 | | Quit PaulJam (".") |

| 20:20:16 | Chaotic | when I skip songs (or pause) on my ipod photo, it takes up to 5 seconds to respond. Is there something I need to do differently to make it respond as fast as the Apple firmware? |
| 20:20:40 | bluebrother | Chaotic: what file types? Also, is it buffering the same time? |
| 20:20:44 | scorche|sh | bluebrother: well, no date yet so.... |

| 20:21:21 | jasonisback | heehee |

| 20:22:57 | jasonisback | though I wonder why the iPod Rockbox has 'recording' when it does nothing of the sort |
| 20:23:17 | scorche|sh | jasonisback: some ipods can...including yours |
| 20:23:31 | bluebrother | well, what's still open for locations for DevConEuro? Stockholm and Berlin? |
| 20:23:35 | jasonisback | how do you know which iPod i have? |
| 20:23:44 | jasonisback | and i do not have a Touch |

| 20:23:50 | jasonisback | i have a 60GB Video |
| 20:24:04 | scorche|sh | jasonisback: i dont, but if you have that option, then your ipod can record |
| 20:24:10 | jasonisback | ok |
| 20:24:19 | bluebrother | maybe our possible hosts should propose a date. And fight for the location ;) |
| 20:24:24 | Chaotic | anyone else get the slowness when skipping tracks? |

| 20:25:41 | jasonisback | id love to have the wheel clicker in rockbox |

| 20:26:06 | bluebrother | jasonisback: there is a keyclick option |
| 20:26:12 | jasonisback | ok where is it? |
| 20:26:16 | bluebrother | but iirc that was buggy on Ipods. |
| 20:26:20 | Horscht | Chaotic, it buffers a certain amount of tracks |
| 20:26:24 | bluebrother | somewhere in the settings menu :D |
| 20:26:30 | mrkiko | Implementing things as ciclers is very hard |
| 20:26:35 | scorche|sh | i think it should be more a matter of who cant make it if it is at x location than what people prefer |
| 20:26:39 | Horscht | when that buffer runs out, it has to rebuffer. |

| 20:27:23 | bluebrother | scorche|sh: I agree. We should figure who can make it |

| 20:28:02 | Chaotic | but when I choose to skip the track, the display shows the new track, but it keeps playing the old track for up to 5 seconds |

| 20:52:52 | bluebrother | you forgot to add it to the plugins chapter. I was wondering where I should put it. Added it to the viewers section for now. |
| 20:53:08 | bluebrother | Horscht: you can't do that with playlists but with a custom search in tagcache |

| 20:53:42 | Horscht | ok, so the answer is no :), thanks |

| 22:44:46 | scorche|sh | i think it would be too much work to remove all the patches he put in there ;) |
| 22:44:53 | Bagder | shotofadds: just a bit |
| 22:45:33 | shotofadds | what do you think about adding the D2 builds to the table soon? the menu and plugnis are functional now |
| 22:45:41 | | Part xander2 |
| 22:45:52 | Bagder | I'd love to, I believe in adding early |
| 22:46:02 | Bagder | as long as it doesn't have a bazillion warnings |
| 22:46:22 | shotofadds | plenty of warnings still though (mostly those stupid '#warning not implemented' that I added...) |
| 22:46:30 | shotofadds | hehe.. |
| 22:46:42 | Bagder | the whole triplet bootloader, normal and sim? |
| 22:46:46 | scorche|sh | could release it tomorrow ;) |
| 22:47:12 | Bagder | oh the sim is already there |
| 22:47:23 | kugel | shotofadds: does the nand driver work now? |
| 22:47:31 | shotofadds | it's something like 0/17/47 warnings at the last count (sim/boot/main). I think I need to work on those... |
| 22:47:37 | | Join matsl [0] (n=matsl@1-1-4-2a.mal.sth.bostream.se) |
| 22:48:00 | Bagder | well, having it in the table also helps when working on the warnings |
| 22:48:29 | shotofadds | kugel: mostly. there are still some issues related to recently-written blocks, but not it's workable. |
| 22:48:34 | Bagder | but I'm really off to bed now, if I don't add it tomorrow please remind me! |

| 22:48:53 | shotofadds | Bagder: that's why I asked, it provides an incentive to fix them :-) |
| 22:50:05 | kugel | shotofadds: I very much appreciate your work on that player. I definitely allready bought one to help you if it wasn't too expensive for me. But in general, I think rockbox on d2 is just great |
| 22:52:31 | shotofadds | kugel: I think it's nice to be able to play with a new architecture. It also opens the door to a number of similar Telechips players in the future :-) |
