#rockbox log for 2008-03-31

00:00:14*BigBambi was just about ask if you were familiar with Rockbox :)
00:00:25linuxstbphinze: Do any of the ideas on our wiki interest you? Or do you have your own suggestion(s)?
00:00:44phinzeone question that popped into my mind was about the scrollbar on the H10, which is still only implemented as up/down buttons... what's preventing that from working as it is meant to?
00:01:38 Quit piga ("Leaving")
00:01:46linuxstbI know there are issues with the button driver, but I'm not sure what you mean by "meant to"?
00:02:00 Join CyBergRind|w [0] (n=cbr@212.98.160.130)
00:02:27BHSPitLappydangit, this guy's gonna knock me out of the running
00:02:35phinzewell... 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
00:02:54phinzemoving your finger up and down the tracking area moves the cursor
00:03:01phinzerather than the top just being up and the bottom being down
00:03:17BigBambithe scroll wheel scrolls as you move your finger round it
00:03:48Nico_Pphinze: there's a patch in the tracker that attempts to improve that, but it's not good enough yet
00:03:54markunphinze: the gigabeat could also use any such improvements
00:03:59markunand soon the meizu
00:04:01phinzeBigBambi: right, so the scroll bar would be like the scroll wheel unrolled and mounted vertically
00:04:21phinzegotchya
00:04:30***Saving seen data "./dancer.seen"
00:04:37BigBambithe gigabeat could do with the stupid cross being ripped out and replaced by something sensible (like a tactile one)
00:04:42bluebrotherdon't forget the mrobe100 ;-)
00:04:56phinzehaha
00:04:57markunBigBambi: you buy another player man
00:05:06BigBambimarkun: I have 5
00:05:14phinzeone for each finger?
00:05:30gevaertsBigBambi: that means you're the type to buy another one
00:05:30markun(if you have only 1 hand)
00:05:35scorcheBigBambi: you only have...bah
00:05:40BigBambiAnd when the beast port is completed it'll replace the F as my day-to-day player
00:06:16BHSPitLappyscorche, how much is being looked for in the abstracts/descriptions?
00:06:35scorcheBHSPitLappy: in terms of number of chars?
00:06:44gevaertsphinze: anyway, I don't think getting a scrollbar working is worth a GSoC project ;)
00:06:50BHSPitLappyscorche, well, I know the character limits :)
00:06:57BHSPitLappygeneral detail level / wordcount
00:07:13phinzegevaerts: thanks that's what i was wondering
00:07:29scorchebe as detailed as you can without going over the limit
00:07:38BHSPitLappyphinze, perhaps try porting rockbox to run on Linksys routers
00:07:43*phinze goes back to the list and strokes his chin
00:07:47phinzeBHSPitLappy: haha
00:07:54phinzethat would be ... interesting
00:07:55scorcheif you answer our template and have a bit more, that should put you around the limit
00:08:27gevaertsphinze: have you ever done anything with USB ?
00:08:42phinzei haven't, but that doesn't me that i can't ;)
00:08:46phinze*mean
00:09:07phinzethinking about MTP? or iPod fakery?
00:09:33gevaertsI think iPod fakery might be hard (and I personally don't care about that)
00:09:49*scorche would rather see soemthign useful to most/all targets
00:09:59*phinze agrees
00:09:59markunlike usb audio :)
00:10:18phinzemarkun: what does that entail?
00:10:26*gevaerts counts portalplayer targets
00:11:24markunphinze: being able to use a player as a soundcard, when you are at a place where there is none (like my office PC)
00:11:39phinzeooo
00:11:44phinzefancy
00:11:49gevaertsIt should be possible
00:12:59phinzehmm...
00:13:06gevaertsBasically, it would work on PortalPlayer targets, and the Gigabeat S (once people find out how to enable USB there).
00:14:24 Join z35 [0] (n=z@149.123.33.65.cfl.res.rr.com)
00:14:28phinzeso the player needs to show up to the host as a USB soundcard?
00:14:56gevaertsThere 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
00:16:10gevaertsphinze: 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...
00:16:47phinzegevaerts: those sound like Rather Serious Issues, especially USB reliability
00:17:00phinzehow often do problems show up?
00:17:54 Quit donutman25 ("ChatZilla 0.9.81 [Firefox 2.0.0.13/2008031114]")
00:18:39gevaertsphinze: 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)
00:19:55gevaertsphinze: right now, it means that USB storage works well for some people, reasonably well for some others, and not at all for others
00:20:02phinzegotchya, so the result would then be corrupted data? is it detectable?
00:20:39phinzegevaerts: i've never had trouble with mounting my H10
00:20:53 Quit perrikwp (Remote closed the connection)
00:21:15BigBambiphinze: Have you enabled the USB stack then? As by default it isn't on (and you have had to transfer via the OF)
00:21:23gevaertsNot 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...
00:22:11phinzeBigBambi: this is where my lack of knowledge of rockbox's internals is going to embarrass me
00:22:17 Quit mimimati (Remote closed the connection)
00:22:24phinzeBigBambi: OF? refers to emergency connection mode?
00:22:28gevaertsphinze: what revision are you using ?
00:22:56BigBambiphinze: To use the recently new USB stack, you need to add a couple of defines to the make file before building (or to the platform config file)
00:22:56*phinze pulls out h10
00:22:57 Quit Nico_P (Remote closed the connection)
00:23:00*gevaerts remembers the bug that enabled usb storage on H10 unintentionally.
00:23:05BigBambiphinze: OF = original firmware
00:23:21phinzeBigBambi: thanks :)

00:24:27gevaertsWith USB audio, you could do all sorts of things like using the FM radio as input, or even using codec output as PC input, adjusting volume on the player remotely,...
00:25:26phinzegevaerts: that does sound pretty cool. so in your mind importance(USB Audio) > importance(MTP) ?
00:25:36gevaertsActually, 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
00:26:16gevaertsphinze: for me personally, yes. I don't care about MTP. Of course others may disagree...
00:26:38*gevaerts adds a disclaimer : he has only be on the project for less than two months, and has only done USB
00:26:45*BigBambi couldn't care less about MTP, but isn't a dev, so don't put any weight on my opinion :)
00:27:49gevaertsI think MTP is not useful as such, but it would allow to update the database for new files more efficiently, which is interesting
00:28:19phinzeyeah that makes sense. so significantly less exciting. ;)
00:29:03phinzeBigBambi: running r16756
00:29:15linuxstbI think that if you're syncing from a database-driven media player on a PC, to Rockbox (and you want to use Rockbox's database), MTP makes sense. Not that I would use it...
00:30:50phinzeBigBambi: i always use emergency connection (aka OF) before connecting... you're telling me i can connect without rebooting?
00:31:14*phinze bounces up and down in anticipation
00:31:15szLackoGSOC question: If I'm interested in more then one project of Rockbox, should I prepare applications for every projects, or one summing all my interest is enough?

00:31:41phinzesweet!
00:31:52BigBambis/anabled/enabled
00:31:53phinzei'd love to test it at the very least
00:31:58szLackoscorche: Thanks!
00:32:02gevaertsphinze: http://www.rockbox.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/PortalPlayerUsb has the details
00:32:42phinzegevaerts: it's all making sense now... i read that page and i was like, "but USB works fine for me"
00:32:58phinzenow i get that it's OF USB i was using

00:40:19*phinze is loving that rockboxdev.sh will build a crosscompiler for him
00:41:45scorcheit makes things a bit easier :)
00:42:23phinzegevaerts: alright, i'm digging this idea... do you think it's a feasible GSoC project scope-wise?
00:42:38phinze(or anyone who might have knowledge)
00:43:58gevaertsIt'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
00:44:40gevaertsBut I don't think you need to know that much about USB for this...
00:45:00phinzeright, i'd have to get up to speed on USB... but i'm a pretty fast learner (as they all say i'm sure heh)
00:45:14*gevaerts is notoriously bad at estimating workloads
00:45:36phinzegevaerts: can you quick 'splain the difference between mass storage support and logf()?
00:46:33gevaertsEasy. Mass storage is what gives you a drive, logf is the internal debug message mechanism, which you can route over USB these days. You won't need logf for now
00:47:50 Quit Rincewind ("bye")
00:48:42*bluebrother wonders if gevaerts had usb debugging hardware while implementing the driver
00:49:44 Quit gregzx ("ChatZilla 0.9.81 [Firefox 2.0.0.13/2008031114]")
00:49:46*gevaerts had (and still has) access to hardware usb tracers
00:50:13bluebrotherah. Nice :)
00:50:41*bluebrother was working with a firewire tracer during internship a few years ago
00:51:09 Quit waldo ("Konversation terminated!")
00:51:14gevaertsThis is of course an issue, but I think that the modern linux usbmon+wireshark setup works pretty well (or corresponding tools on Windows). They don't really help you for low-level issues, but this project shouldn't run into those
00:51:43phinzegevaerts: so the USB driver is essentially *yours*?
00:52:04 Quit goffa (Remote closed the connection)
00:52:12BigBambiAnd no-one else can use it! :P
00:52:35linuxstbYes, he's introduced a bug to stop others using it...
00:52:59amiconnThere must be some bus priority registers...
00:54:37gevaertsdepends 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
00:55:14phinzelinuxstb: well i'll be seeing about that once this crosscompiler finishes building :)
00:55:20gevaertsamiconn: yes, but where ?
00:55:39amiconnSomewhere in the system controller range, I'd guess
00:55:45phinzesounds like the H10 is a good platform to try it on though
00:56:00*gevaerts was very happy that other people typed in all these boring register address #defines for him :)
00:56:37*phinze hopes that devs don't give their SoCer all that typing work ;)
00:57:05gevaertsThey do :)
00:57:46amiconnEither somewhere in the 0x600060xx range, or (more likely, guesses) the 0x700000xx range
00:58:32gevaertsIndeed. 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
00:59:22amiconnEither that, or try to run some OF's diskmode on the emulator and log the register accesses

01:25:20gevaertssaratoga: I'm not sure what you mean...
01:25:50saratogayou had mentioned using some sort of analyiser to look at signal quality for rockbox usb
01:26:02*gevaerts remembers
01:26:28saratogai'm curious what happened with that
01:27:29gevaertsThat 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
01:29:02gevaertsIt'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
01:29:12saratogagevaerts: how does that mode work? just produce a few test tones of known voltage and frequency?
01:30:06gevaertssaratoga: actually there are several. Some are just a fixed level (logical 0 or 1), others are worst-case signal patterns
01:30:16gevaertsphinze: I didn't get anything
01:30:43saratogaalso, perhaps a stupid question, but you can't use the 48-80kb of IRAM available on the PP targets instead of DRAM?

01:32:02phinzescorche: ahh thank you
01:32:04gevaertsIndeed.
01:32:21amiconnNot uncommon that some memory areas aren't dma capable (e.g. also the secondary block of iram in the mcf5249 and mcf5250)

01:41:44phinzeso i believe i've built HEAD with the USB stack
01:42:05phinzeand alas, no mount on OS X 10.4.11
01:42:07bird603568<−− v2 owner and intrested but dont know if i can help
01:42:21gevaertsWhat happens instead ?
01:42:24phinzei get a little icon when i plug in USB, but nothing on my mac

01:42:38phinzenothing immediately noticeable that is
01:42:46saratogabird603568: much of the firmware update format is understood, but not all
01:43:00saratogasomeone needs to take an interest in it, finish the work, and then start porting rockbox
01:43:01phinzeunless... double checking instructions
01:43:02bird603568errr i dont think i can helo there
01:43:08*gevaerts remembers suddenly
01:43:13bird603568help*

01:47:29saratogahave you read the 2 threads on the V2 sansas in the New Ports forum?
01:47:36bird603568man i wish i knew how to do that
01:47:37bird603568nope
01:47:49bird603568havent really been following it
01:47:57bird603568just popped in to see how things are going
01:48:32bird603568ill go look now
01:49:36saratogahow cheap can you get a V2 sansa anyway?
01:50:02bird603568i have a sansav2
01:50:09bird603568i got the 8 gig for 120$ i think
01:50:39saratogathats not very cheap
01:50:46bird603568there are smaller ones
01:50:59bird603568i wanted 8 gigs since thats holds almost 1/2 of my music
01:51:06bird603568and it was 10$ more than the 4gig
01:51:12bird603568i think the 1 gig is 90$

01:55:05arnath(i looked on the site of the store, but it doesn't mention the firmware it seems)
01:55:13bird603568very low
01:55:23bird603568they stopped selling them in december
01:55:31bird603568i thought id luck out and get a v1 but didnt
01:55:53saratogaV1s are still all over ebay
01:55:53bird603568its the hardware
01:56:06saratogai think no one is working on the V2 since the V1s are so easy to get

01:59:07bird603568oh it works it just might be ugly as sin
01:59:40arnathhmm, what exactly is involved in porting it? rewriting drivers...?
01:59:42bird603568ive never programmed firmware tho
01:59:54scorchegood time to start..

02:00:18bird603568i would assume its not that different from other things

02:01:22uklhmm too bad should have done it.
02:02:02arnathPorting 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.
02:02:07arnathsounds a bit depressive :|
02:02:14arnathespecially since i don't have any friends that can code a damn :(
02:02:46saratogawell 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
02:02:51linuxstbMake some new friends ;) e.g. on forums where owners of the device hang out.
02:03:23scorchethere have been a few ports done by folks by themselves
02:03:24kugellinuxstb: Do you have a build/sim with my customlist patch handy?
02:03:29uklI'd love to meet people in a pub to work on something. Unfortunately I lack projects and people (and knowledge/abilities).

02:10:45kugelNo
02:10:49scorche...why not?
02:10:57kugelI was hoping that the creator would upload it
02:11:08kugelBut he doesn't seem to be interested in it anymore
02:11:27saratogabird603568: does who?
02:11:43scorchedid he GPL the code or just write it?
02:13:00kugelhe wrote it for rockbox
02:13:24kugelI'd need to look in the patch again
02:13:35kugelhe doesn't answer me, so I can't ask him directly
02:14:33kugelscorche: But he allowed me to have it in my build
02:14:49kugelscorche: since my build is gpl, doesn't it mean that the patch is gpl too then?
02:15:10scorchedo you have his full name?
02:15:12krazykitno, it means if it's not GPL, you're violating it
02:16:08saratogatechnically you can't add patches from other people unless they license them under the GPL
02:16:48kugelkrazykit: he allowed to have it my build
02:17:00kugelJonas Hurrelmann is his real name
02:17:08scorchepeople 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
02:17:27kugelah ok
02:17:58kugelhe talked about some devs some while ago about this patch, and I just found the site
02:17:59saratogaassuming he was aware you were using GPL code, and he gave you permission, you're probably ok
02:18:07kugelhttp://sse2.net/rb/
02:18:07saratogabut we certainly can't do that for SVN
02:18:22saratogawe need to be black and white
02:18:57kugelsaratoga: As you can see in the link, the convtff.c (the tool to convert ttf to anti-aliased .fnt) is GPL'd
02:19:42saratogahe just emailed that to you?
02:19:50kugelthe link?
02:20:16kugelHe doesn't answer me at all.
02:20:17saratogathats an email in there right?
02:20:27saratoga"Subject: [PATCH] Framework for anti-aliased font support on lcd-16bit devices."
02:20:38saratogawheres it from?
02:21:01kugelhe used a git repository for his rockbox source afaik
02:21:13scorchewhy did he contact you about this and not even mention it to us?
02:21:16kugelnot sure where that framework comes from
02:21:27kugelhe did
02:21:32saratogaalso odd that he would add the rockbox header but remove the GPL from his makefile
02:21:38kugelI think he talked with amiconn and other devs about this patch
02:21:57kugelhis IRC name is jott and/or j0tt
02:22:24scorchesaratoga: that is odd
02:22:33scorchei seem to remeber the name..
02:22:41kugelbut the convttf.c says that it's GPL'd
02:22:52kugelhe made pictureflow ;)
02:23:32linuxstbI remember him discussing the patch here on IRC
02:23:35kugelhttp://www.rockbox.org/tracker/task/8308 he also made that
02:26:47kugelAny idea what to do about this patch? I'd gladly upload it, but if you fear license and copyright issues I understand that

06:22:56TaylorKilliandarn :/
06:23:42scorcheprovided the users use their tags properly, rockbox does just fine with users using iTunes as our Database already scrapes the files
06:24:30TaylorKillianah :/
06:24:44scorchethe main things i think that the users have issues with are iTunes playlists and iTunes's dislike for file-based organizing
06:25:31scorchethe latter we cant fix, and the former is just making Rockbox able to read those playlists
06:25:37TaylorKilliani could include a section about allowing upload of drm'ed songs, however i don't know if people would object to that or not
06:26:00scorcheas in giving Rockbox the ability to play DRMed files?
06:26:07TaylorKillianyeah
06:26:24TaylorKillianthe iPod drm has already been reverse engineered
06:26:35scorcheyeah...that is a no-do
06:26:43TaylorKilliani figured
06:26:58scorcheDRM and open-source doesnt quite mesh together well
06:27:34TaylorKillianheh
06:27:59TaylorKillianah well, maybe my other proposal will have a shot ;)
06:28:48scorchehrm...well, we could always find something else for you to work on, as you seem quite able :)
06:30:20TaylorKillianyeah, i applied to do the arm emulator, however I don't think that i'll get it

06:43:44saratoga4that ipod proposal was a bit odd
06:44:02saratoga4he proposed all that without looking up the problem and realizing that it was all documented elsewhere
06:44:26saratoga4however, its good to hear he applied for the emulator
06:44:30saratoga4i really want that project
06:44:35saratoga4just not enough to do it myself
06:44:40scorchewhich part was documented?
06:44:50saratoga4the process by which itunes syncs the ipod
06:44:57scorcheah
06:45:08saratoga4no need to use a USB sniffer to figure that out
06:45:08JdGordonisnt just the db documented?
06:45:18scorchei just have issues with the idea itself rather than the process
06:45:32saratoga4itunes actually just copies files, updates teh db, copies album art and thats more or less it
06:45:43saratoga4the only nonstandard part is syncing the clock and updating firmware as I recall
06:46:07scorcheyeah, but do we really want to add all that just for the ipods?
06:46:26saratoga4presumably it could be used for any player though
06:46:38saratoga4or at least those with a software USB stack
06:46:42JdGordonwell... if it worked oyu could trick itunes into thinking any target is an ipod
06:47:13saratoga4thinking about it more, it might be necessary to reverse engineer how itunes identifies an ipod
06:47:21 Quit saratoga33 ("CGI:IRC (Ping timeout)")
06:47:24saratoga4if it does more then just check the USB id string
06:47:28saratoga4so maybe he was onto something

07:02:16scorche(referring to devices like the sansa and ipods rather than the gigabeat which is in the proposal)
07:04:13saratoga4we can emulate the parts supported by rockbox just by doing whatever the drivers in SVN expect
07:04:24saratoga4thats good enough for some basic stuff like optmization
07:04:42saratoga4next we can try and run the OF
07:05:04saratoga4this will probably fail initially, but you can see where it fails by logging all the memory addresses it accesses
07:05:23saratoga4hopefully you could eventually implement everything well enough that it runs
07:05:40saratoga4particularly for targets like the Gigabeat where most or all of the hardware is documented
07:06:42saratoga4furthermore, 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)
07:08:15saratoga4and for a lot of things, just emulating a bootloader is enough (figuring out checksums, hardware init sequences, etc)
07:08:47saratoga4Toni 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
07:09:06saratoga4and his emulator didn't even really work
07:09:38scorcheah...so is mainly a way to debug/log the OF since we cant through the device

08:29:52amiconnJdGordon: 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)
08:31:40JdGordonyeah, im trying to remove gaps between playlists by setting it up so a playlist could never actually end (for dirplay anyway)
08:31:49JdGordonthat speex example is a bit worrying thoughg
08:32:33JdGordonif 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
08:32:41amiconnThis indefiniteness is one of the main reasons for MoB...
08:33:17amiconnGaps between playlists?
08:34:09JdGordonso playback already starts buffering the next playlist while the current one is finishing
08:34:18JdGordonits very noticable with dirplay
08:34:32 Join GodEater [0] (i=c2cbc962@rockbox/staff/GodEater)
08:34:38JdGordon.. also the point is moving the dirplay functionality out of playback
08:34:43amiconnAh, 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!
08:36:39amiconnWell, it's known as the 'norvegian language course problem' in the rockbox world for years
08:37:47JdGordonok, 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
08:37:59JdGordonwhich ideally wouldnt be a usual case
08:38:34JdGordonotherwise, the new playlist would be created with the old current one being shown as "queued"
08:38:48amiconnVery 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)
08:39:18amiconnIt won't crash though, but repeat the 16th track over and over until you manually skip it

10:01:41pondlifepixelma: Was it a problem on Sansa before?
10:01:52pondlifeIf so, then yes please
10:02:06pixelmayes, I could make it "beeep"
10:02:16pondlifeI wonder if pcmbuf_beep needs similar alignment work
10:02:45pondlifeThe noise GodEater described sounded more nasty than "beeep"...
10:03:11pondlifeI think the click is still too long on some targets (so sounds like a beep), but that's a different issue I think.
10:04:19pixelmait doesn't stop until you move to a next line and is very loud (not bearable with earphone in the ear and you could hear it outside)
10:04:30pondlifeAh, maybe that's the one

10:14:12pondlifepcmbuf_beep() mirrors the old version of that somewhat
10:15:41pondlifeJdGordon: Is it only a problem if music is not already playing?
10:15:52pondlifeOr does it do it when playing or stopped?

10:29:16amiconnpondlife: The hanging beep on pp is definitely not an alignment issue
10:29:22pondlifeOK
10:29:33amiconnIf it were, it would cause a data abort
10:29:52amiconnBtw, imho the current implementation of keyclick is completely useless
10:30:08pondlifeI find it very useful
10:30:16pondlifeIt's far from ideal
10:30:57amiconnIt's not at all related to actually registering the button event
10:30:58pixelmapondlife: I remember that having voice enabled also prevented it from beeeeping
10:31:20pondlifeYes, if pcm_is_playing() it's not an issue, only if it has to kick off pcm playback
10:31:36pondlifeVoice/fades may mask the issue too
10:32:02pondlifeamiconn: No, it's related to the button event being dequeued
10:32:17pondlifeSlower, but in some ways more useful
10:32:33pondlifei.e. you know that the client received the input
10:32:46pondlifeIdeally it should be in firmware
10:33:07pondlifeAnd should use piezo if possible, PCM if not
10:34:22amiconnNo, you know that rockbox processed the event... but that's something I'll notice without any beep
10:34:41pondlifeDepends if you're looking at the display, maybe
10:34:44kugelJdGordon: Have you allready taken a look at FS #8799 ?
10:34:56JdGordon8799?
10:35:01amiconnThe beep would be helpful when queueing button events (especially since the ui gets more and more laggy) :(
10:35:27pondlifeYes, that could improve perceived responsiveness
10:35:50pondlifeFeel free to work out how it could fit into firmware, yet still use pcm
10:36:01kugelJdGordon: Ehm, yes
10:36:15JdGordonwhich is...?
10:36:15pixelmakugel: 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
10:36:45kugelpixelma: Ok
10:37:40pixelmaI hoped for some ideas of others too
10:37:47kugelJdGordon: Just browse to it, or can't you atm? It's my custom list patch
10:38:04JdGordonkugel: arg.. yes, i looket at v8 yesterday... didnt give it a full look though
10:38:45JdGordonimho it would be a better use of time fixing the rest of the screens to work with viewports than fidling with this atm
10:39:01kugelJdGordon: Not sure, but you might think about the one todo: that it's ineffective the reparse the viewport structure from settings at every redraw
10:39:27amiconnJdGordon: Btw, one lagginess increase seems to be due to viewported lists
10:39:42JdGordonkugel: I know... another reason to leave that aside
10:39:52JdGordonamiconn: in which lists?
10:39:54kugelJdGordon: 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
10:40:20amiconnNow when booting an archos, the screen goes completely blank after the rockbox logo at boot for a fraction of a second
10:40:36JdGordononly at boot?
10:40:42amiconn...before the list is shown (I've set it to boot into file browser)

10:42:37JdGordonalthough vp shouldnt have shown it up...
10:42:53pixelmathe statusbar update lag got worse too (noticed last week) - when going from WPS to the browser, the statusbar doesn't update immediately (was there before) but in the statusbar area you can still see that part of the WPS (before you had a blank space for a short while)

11:38:35B4gderlinuxstb: it looks nice and a good start!
11:38:56pondlifelinuxstb: I like the standard-left-menu
11:39:08B4gderit would be cool with some rating and download counters to get to see "most popular" etc
11:39:08linuxstbB4gder: "a good start" ? That's all there will be... ;) (at least for v1)
11:39:14pondlifeAnything in particular that needs testing
11:39:23B4gderlinuxstb: isn't v1 the start? ;-)
11:39:30disorganizerare more than 2 screenshots supported?
11:39:32JdGordonlinuxstb: can you get it to use the full browser width?
11:39:33gevaertsThe front looks familiar :)
11:39:35linuxstbpondlife: The upload facility will need testing, but I'm still working on it.
11:39:39pondlifeOK
11:40:04JdGordonlinuxstb: i.e more than 3 themes per ro
11:40:05JdGordonw
11:40:16pondlifeWe're still going to restart with no content and carefully filter for compatibilty, right?
11:40:30*disorganizer hopes so
11:40:42B4gderI'm sure we'll get content fast enough anyway
11:41:11linuxstbJdGordon: How would you do that/
11:41:29*JdGordon doesnt do web development...
11:41:34linuxstbpondlife: Yes, the intention is for the site to start blank, and for the uploads to stictly validate submissions (including running checkwps)
11:41:39gevaertslinuxstb: you could just put them all in a list and use CSS to make it look like a table
11:42:10linuxstbgevaerts: Patches welcome ;) (I'm intending to put the PHP in SVN)
11:42:30disorganizerand let the user decide how many themes per row ... if possible? and sorting, of course :-)
11:43:12linuxstbThe 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.
11:43:14gevaertslinuxstb: 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
11:43:48gevaertsHave there been thoughts about automatically generating the screenshots ?
11:44:11disorganizerthen 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
11:44:56linuxstbgevaerts: Sounds like a fun feature to add to checkwps...
11:45:31 Quit tessarakt ("Client exiting")
11:45:50linuxstbgevaerts: But don't we have a theme editor on its way that could make screenshorts? ;)
11:45:56disorganizerproblem 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?
11:46:36gevaertslinuxstb: 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 :)
11:48:07linuxstbFor 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 - http://linuxstb.cream.org/themes/upload.php
11:48:57B4gderlinuxstb: what about a given password or similar in case the user wants to update the theme?
11:50:01B4gderof course nobody will remember theirs anyway
11:50:04disorganizerlinuxstb: as said, what if 2 wps screenshots would make sense?
11:50:06linuxstbB4gder: I was thinking the email address could be used for that - to email the user a password
11:50:13pondlifelinuxstb: If I were to specify "Target Device: FM Recorder" I assume it would be made available to Recorder v1/v2 users too?
11:50:13B4gdergood idea
11:50:29*gevaerts might test-submit a theme tonight (if that's already supposed to work..)
11:50:30LloreanI don't even know if you'd need to do passwords
11:50:32linuxstbpondlife: Yes, that's the intention.
11:50:34disorganizerb4gder: what about using the wiki permissions? they have a password attached to it, the email-address (afaik) and even the realname
11:51:02LloreanB4gder, 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.
11:51:03disorganizerlinuxstb: i will also upload a theme later
11:51:11linuxstbgevaerts: 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.
11:51:13Lloreanlinuxstb, B4gder: Sorry, *original* email address
11:51:18gevaertsdisorganizer: different server, so possible data availability problems ?
11:51:30B4gderLlorean: indeed, since the address isn't shown that's a pretty good idea
11:51:51disorganizerlinuxstb: ok. just mention it in the irc log when the upload should work with a link
11:52:18linuxstbdisorganizer: Don't worry, I will do. The upload is going to need testing...
11:52:23disorganizerany restrictions on zip formatting? (folder structure, naming etc)
11:52:23gevaertslinuxstb: of course. I do expect a reasonable amount of paranoia from this kind of system. Nobody wants viruses and trojans in it...
11:53:01disorganizercould we use the forum useraccount for access validation? (and for nicknames)
11:53:04Lloreandisorganizer: 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)
11:53:30disorganizerllorean: 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
11:53:47pondlifelinuxstb: Will you be able to validate the zip format?
11:53:57Lloreandisorganizer: I believe *somewhere* we've got a document containing the intended submission guidelines for this new site. Dunno where though.
11:54:06disorganizergevaerts: why not a theme replacing the bin with a empty file?
11:54:14linuxstbpondlife: Yes, that's what I'm working on at the moment.
11:54:18pondlifeGreat
11:54:37disorganizerwill the submitter get a kind of information why his theme was rejected?
11:54:45linuxstbdisorganizer: Of course
11:54:46gevaertsdisorganizer: that's no fun. I will however try to replace cabbiev2 with my theme, to make resetting settings not work :)
11:55:14disorganizergevaerts: you, sir, are definitely evil by heart
11:55:16Lloreangevaerts: 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
11:55:54disorganizerllorean: in fact we just need to check than NO original files of the svn are overwritten :-)
11:56:20Lloreandisorganizer: Well, the real problem is that a .cfg can change any setting, not just theme settings.
11:56:30LloreanAny theme should have an explicit list of settings (no more, no less).
11:56:32disorganizerwe have a kind of factory reset though

11:56:48LloreanIf 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)
11:56:55disorganizerand we would need a "complain" button on the dl-page of course so users can complain to admins if such a theme is upped
11:57:11gevaertsLlorean: 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)

11:58:11Lloreangevaerts: Well, a .cfg validity check script or app shouldn't be too hard to write anyawy.
11:58:12Lloreananyway.
11:58:13disorganizerwe 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
11:58:25JdGordongevaerts: that wont work.. alot of themes are just updates of existing ones
11:58:42linuxstbLlorean: Then I look forward to it from you ;) PHP would be pefect...
11:58:48Lloreandisorganizer: I already said there's an explicit list of "theme" settings which are the only ones it should be allowed to change.
11:59:02JdGordonLlorean: yes... yes it is hard to write
11:59:12LloreanJdGordon: Depends on what you consider "valid"
11:59:18gevaertsJdGordon: if they're updates, IMHO they should be handled as such. What I want to avoid is getting incompatible unrelated themes
11:59:33JdGordonno... depends how up-to-date you want the config to be
11:59:39LloreanJdGordon: 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.
11:59:54linuxstbgevaerts: Each theme name (the name of the zip/wps/cfg etc) will be checked for uniqueness for that LCD size.

12:00:07LloreanJdGordon: 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
12:00:08pondlifeWhere's the definition of which .cfg fields are considered part of a theme?
12:00:11disorganizeri 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?
12:00:14gevaertsOK. That should do the trick
12:00:48Lloreanlinuxstb: 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.
12:01:05LloreanJdGordon: So how about "my vision of validation is relatively simple"?
12:01:41pondlifeMaybe, when we add a new theme option(e.g. viewport: ), could the hosted themes be bulk-updated to select the prior default?
12:01:50linuxstbpondlife: That's the idea ;)
12:01:57pondlifeEven betterer
12:01:57amiconnlinuxstb: Don't forget that there sometimes could be 2 theme variants for the same lcd size (rtc vs. non-rtc)
12:02:22Lloreanpondlife: 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.
12:02:23disorganizeralso, if themes are not valid any more (for whatever reason), will they be completely dropped or "parked" somewhere for a later update?
12:03:10pondlifeLlorean: Yes, absolutely - I was just wondering if the "validity parser" should/could contain functionality to do this appending.
12:03:23Lloreanpondlife: I think it's a job for a separate app.
12:03:37pondlifeSo, if someone uploads an old theme, that is fine but has some recent stuff missing, it would get fixed up.
12:03:53pondlifeYou're probably right though
12:04:03LloreanYour point on "old themes" is possibly true.
12:04:17LloreanBut I *think* people should just be rejected with information like "missing viewportlist line"
12:04:18pondlifeIt could save a bit of time
12:04:21LloreanSo they know it exists.
12:04:38***Saving seen data "./dancer.seen"
12:04:45pondlifeI'd warn them, then ask if they'd like a default line adding.
12:04:50LloreanPossibly
12:05:08pondlifeProblem is, they would probably not test the modified theme...#
12:05:11JdGordonLlorean: well yes, that is pretty simple
12:06:06disorganizeralso if they need to do it manually, they learn to do it every time and how it works *eg*
12:06:11linuxstbamiconn: Yes. And I think there are other hardware-specific things such as the virtual disk LED, hold buttons, tagcache, sw/hwcodec, pitch-screen, .....
12:06:21linuxstb(... charging...)
12:06:55pondlifeSo you need a set of feature bits as well as LCD details..
12:07:03linuxstbpondlife: I would rather not start modifying the uploaded file - at least not initially.
12:07:09pixelmahold state is now shown on software hold targets too
12:07:10pondlifeOK, just a thought
12:07:12Lloreanpondlife: 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.
12:07:30Lloreanpondlife: 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
12:07:45pondlifeNo, at least they fix their copy then
12:07:58pondlifeIn other words, I agree

12:08:32LloreanJdGordon: 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.
12:08:58LloreanJdGordon: 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
12:10:02JdGordonI 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
12:10:56pondlifeWe only just got rid of FILES :)

12:17:58pondlifeNico_P: V1?
12:18:02LloreanJdGordon: 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)
12:18:07Nico_Ppondlife: checking
12:18:16LloreanJdGordon: When doing so, the same script can add it to the definition file the checker program uses for all future themes submitted.
12:18:47LloreanSo 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

15:53:52PaulJami don't really care myself if the queue options would get removed. i just think in some (rare) occassions they could be useful.

15:57:56PaulJambut it would propably be good if you bring that topic up the mailinglist for discussion before you remove the options.

16:00:03*JdGordon never said anything about removing anything
16:00:36amiconnThe queue options make very much sense if you run a playlist in 'repeat all' mode

17:21:40mrkikoI recommend you aniway
17:21:57mrkikoto get a copy of your actual firmware prior to start doing anything.
17:23:01mrkikoThen: 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
17:23:06mrkikocontains a 1.29EU fw + bootloader
17:23:49renkho1.29 EU :o
17:23:56renkhodoes it plays videos and stuff?
17:24:09zlinedLambdaCalculus37: 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
17:24:23renkho'cause i used the 1.31K 'cause i found a lot of people who recommend that one
17:25:10zlinedbut skipping more than that takes longer. i'm guessing this is a harware limitation/implementation problem
17:26:02PaulJamthe 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)
17:26:24Nico_Pzlined: that's with the current SVN?
17:26:54Nico_Poh yes r16899, didn't see tha
17:26:55zlinedif 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

17:27:50zlinedand before i meant r10xx or something i think, it was a yr or two old the last version i remember
17:28:13zlinedfor me it's 90% of the time
17:28:28Nico_Pouch
17:28:59Nico_Pdo you skip around a lot? and fast?
17:29:35zlineddepends what mood i'm in:P
17:29:41zlinedbut yeah i do sometimes
17:30:13zlinedi just tested now and loading an unbuffered song takes 30s
17:30:29Nico_Pis there a kind of skipping pattern that you find leads to the most waiting?
17:31:10Nico_Pnormally skipping to an unbuffered song should be quite OK if you take the disk startup into account
17:32:35zlinedhmm not sure if it's the other random files stored on the drive that's causing a problem
17:32:50zlinedor disk fragmentation
17:33:36zlinedthere's no pattern to it, it'll just take a long time to load so long as you're going to an unbuffered song
17:34:11Nico_PI'm sure you realize it's expected for unbuffered songs to take longer than buffered ones?
17:34:49Nico_P30 secs is too much though, I have to agree
17:35:07renkhomrkiko: is there any risk in downgrade the firmware from 1.31K to 1.29K?

17:35:44zlinedyeah 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

17:36:36Nico_Pzlined: it plays the first song as soon as it has enough data
17:36:52Nico_Pbut I've seen some cases where for some reason it waits for all the data of the song
17:36:55mrkikorenkho: 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.

17:42:04mrkikoNico_P: regarding playback...
17:42:27mrkikoNico_P: as I said some days ago I noticed that on my plater at least, sometimes when the disk has to spin up
17:43:11mrkikothe 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.
17:43:33mrkikoNico_P: Then, interestingly, it skips the first song of the destination dir, and passes to the second one.

If i give this unusefull player to the rockbox project, would they adapt rockbox to this one ? It's the Samsung YP-MT6.
18:24:07renkhoif i make it work this iriver will convert into my new personal swiss army knife :D
18:24:33domonokyomnisilver_: very unlikly
18:25:23mrkikorenkho: probably it will work. Probably aniway the hard drive will not be happy.
18:25:36LambdaCalculus37omnisilver_: Ports are started by people who own a particular player, and are itching to get the work started themselves on making a port happen.
18:25:38omnisilver_domonoky: because the samsung are not supported ?
18:25:39markunomnisilver_: what you could do is find out as much info about the player you can find and hope that someone joins in to start a port

18:26:44domonokyomnisilver_: if you player was supported, there would be no need to port.. but porting is a heavy job, so not much people do it.. (and only for players they own)

18:28:40LambdaCalculus37omnisilver_: Here's something else you should do; get a firmware update for your player here: http://erms.samsungusa.com/customer/sea/jsp/faqs/faqs_view.jsp?PG_ID=3&AT_ID=30746&PROD_SUB_ID=46&PROD_ID=46
18:28:45domonokymrkiko: level 42 is needed :-)

18:40:46omnisilver_Mmm so i can : 1/ Try to upgrade again the firmware 2/ If it failed again, open my player and take pictures of it, and create a wiki page with them, to help somebody who wants to port rockbox ont this model (i have a few time, i think it would be too long for me)
18:42:15omnisilver_Nico_P: yes, i think i will should do it, but as i get this unusefull player and i'm maybe not the only one, i would help other people to make it usefull :-)

19:58:50Buschelhi folks
19:59:22LambdaCalculus37Hi Buschel!
19:59:34mrkikoHi Buschel!
19:59:53Buschelquestion: do we know where the CPU load goes while playback (except decoding of course)?
20:00
20:00:37mrkikoprobably this is a target specific question, right?
20:00:42Buschelit seems like ~4MHz are used in addition to the codec itself, ~1MHz of it is the dsp-stuff (withput any EQ-stuff)
20:00:53Buschelah yes, talking about PP502x
20:01:24 Join Horscht [0] (n=Horscht@xbmc/user/horscht)
20:01:56Buscheli did the following: test_codec with mpc -> needs about 24MHz from the calculations
20:02:21Buschelthen playing back the same file and wait until all is buffered.
20:02:49Buschelgo into the debug menu and check the boost ratio, calculate the average needed clock from it
20:02:51mrkikoBuschel: with ape? How is the situation?
20:03:08Buscheli did only test for mpc and mp3
20:03:24Buschelsame situation (but mp3 needs more cpu for the codec)
20:04:25Buschele.g. pure decoding mpc (~24MHz), mp3 (~37MHz), playback mpc (~28MHz), mp3 (~41MHz)
20:04:54***Saving seen data "./dancer.seen"
20:05:09Buschelthis is when letting the debug menu update each 10s to avoid CPIU load through LCD updates

20:08:44mrkikoIs here accounted even device drivers work and interrupts?
20:09:22Buschelit should be taken into account as the overall clock is estimated
20:09:42domonokythe the 3Mhz are surely used by the "playing" of the sound, so playback managment and transport of audio data (i2s etc)

20:10:11Buscheldomonoky: that's my understanding.
20:10:38mrkikoBuschel: aniway some time ago here was a discussion regarding the complexity of playback.c
20:10:59domonokymaybe also WPS ? does running the testcodec show a WPS ?
20:11:44Buscheldomonoky: no, only the debug menu for the audio thread (update each 10s)
20:12:20BuschelWPS is another 4-5MHz on 5G iPod
20:12:37domonokydoes the testcodec use the normal buffering ?
20:13:28Buscheli 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
20:14:28Buscheldomonoky: no. but in my measurements on playback the buffering was finished
20:15:32Buschelso, in fact: nobody did any profilings yet :(
20:15:42domonokyso it would be interesting to know how much the audio transport costs, ie a measurement without i2s

20:51:46bluebrotherRockbox always uses a dynamic playlist. Not sure if you're referring to something different with that term ...
20:52:16fmlbluebrother: shortcuts has two parts: appender and the "viewer". "Viewer" is what is executed when a link file is played.
20:52:22Horschtplaylists, that for example define "play all songs from 1969"
20:52:50Horschtbased on the tagcache, of course
20:52:52bluebrotheryou forgot to add it to the plugins chapter. I was wondering where I should put it. Added it to the viewers section for now.
20:53:08bluebrotherHorscht: you can't do that with playlists but with a custom search in tagcache
20:53:40fmlbluebrother: have you seen the second patch?
20:53:42Horschtok, so the answer is no :), thanks
20:53:53bluebrotherfml: btw, you didn't use typographic quotes. I simply added them

22:40:23kugelProbably not ontopic, but I was just reading the post about the rockbox sim on motorola mobile phones (http://forums.rockbox.org/index.php?topic=14165.0), and I wonder why the post count of the topic starter is still at 1. Is that a bug in the forum?

22:44:45shotofaddsBagder: here?
22:44:46scorche|shi think it would be too much work to remove all the patches he put in there ;)
22:44:53Bagdershotofadds: just a bit
22:45:33shotofaddswhat do you think about adding the D2 builds to the table soon? the menu and plugnis are functional now
22:45:41 Part xander2
22:45:52BagderI'd love to, I believe in adding early
22:46:02Bagderas long as it doesn't have a bazillion warnings
22:46:22shotofaddsplenty of warnings still though (mostly those stupid '#warning not implemented' that I added...)
22:46:30shotofaddshehe..
22:46:42Bagderthe whole triplet bootloader, normal and sim?
22:46:46scorche|shcould release it tomorrow ;)
22:47:12Bagderoh the sim is already there
22:47:23kugelshotofadds: does the nand driver work now?
22:47:31shotofaddsit's something like 0/17/47 warnings at the last count (sim/boot/main). I think I need to work on those...

22:48:00Bagderwell, having it in the table also helps when working on the warnings
22:48:29shotofaddskugel: mostly. there are still some issues related to recently-written blocks, but not it's workable.
22:48:34Bagderbut I'm really off to bed now, if I don't add it tomorrow please remind me!
22:48:43*Bagder runs away
22:48:50pixelmaBagder: could you check (and hopefully) put the voice download links...
22:48:53shotofaddsBagder: that's why I asked, it provides an incentive to fix them :-)
22:50:05kugelshotofadds: 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
22:52:31shotofaddskugel: 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 :-)

23:58:30amiconnYou need to enable it in apps/plugins/SOURCES. All test plugins aren't enabled by default
23:58:31gevaertsbertrik, phinze steps 3,4 and 8 seem wrong (unless old versions of windows really behaved that way...). IIRC in step 3 it asks for 8 bytes on low speed. Step 4 sounds plain wrong to me, and in step 8 it asks for whatever wTotalSize was, not 255
