00:00:24mcuelenaerebecause Rockbox only understands FAT, not one of the Creative's proprietary file systems
00:01:08pixelmasomeone with an Ipod Video around who tested the WPS changes the last days (asking especially for the included UniCatcher and iCatcher). There is half of a report that it's "broken" though I'm not sure if he uses the included ones. I can't imagine that they are broken because it's been tested all in sims but who knows...

00:03:16pixelmathanks for confirming
00:03:40Nico_Pnicer icons would be good for themes other than cabbie...

00:04:58bluebrotherscorche|sh: ok.
00:06:12pixelmaNico_P: who defines "nicer"? I also don't want to really change something in the looks now, those are not my creation...
00:07:01Nico_Ppixelma: I dare make the assumption that slightly bigger colour icons can be considered "nicer" :)
00:07:42Nico_PI was simply thinking of using the same ones as cabbie, although they probably would need adapting because of the antialiasing
00:07:52pixelmathat's a question of taste
00:08:37Nico_Pit is indeed
00:08:44pixelmaah... do you mean the icons in the menu?
00:08:47Nico_Pyes

01:43:21kugelWell, I don't quite get what you mean
01:43:23pixelmawhich was a good change, but the pegbox patch wasn't updated accordingly. That was my point
01:43:37linuxstbkugel: pegbox (as committed to SVN) doesn't compile...
01:43:46linuxstb(for the e200)
01:43:58kugelIt's not my patch dudes.
01:44:14kugelI'm not the maintainer, it's possible that the tracker version is out of sync
01:44:45pixelmabut you said there were no bugs earlier... that's all
01:44:58kugelIndeed, I have a private copy, which fixes that (but which is also more sync'd to my build)

01:48:25SaderI've been using Rockbox on my ipod nano 1st gen, and i accedientally made it record .. i can't get it to stop. It won't let me listen to music and rebooting it doesn't help :S
01:48:33kugelAnyway, sorry if it was my fault, that one if you committed a not-sync'd version
01:49:56DerPapstsader: doesn't short pres leave the rec screen?
01:50:07linuxstbSader: What happens when you reboot? (and how are you rebooting?)

01:55:38Nico_Ppegbox is nice!
01:55:52linuxstb`Sader`: No, you can't listen to music whilst recording - that's expected.
01:56:26`Sader`I mean, i can't get it to stop recording
01:57:02linuxstbNot even by rebooting?
01:57:03mud-rb`Sader`: did you look in the manual for the correct way to exit the recording screen?
01:57:46`Sader`Yes - I looked in the Manual but don't anything about it..
01:57:47DerPapstiirc it's short menu for iPods
01:58:06DerPapstat least it's on mine
01:58:14pixelma`Sader`: what happens after a reboot?
01:58:30`Sader`It boots w/ apple screen, then turns on and its on the recording screen :S
01:58:47pixelmaah, maybe you set your start screen to recording?
01:59:08`Sader`If i did, it's by acciedent.(sp) anyway to un-do it?
01:59:27DerPapstclear your config or edit it on your PC
01:59:48pixelmayou could clear your setting by flicking the hold switch to on when the rockbox bootlogo appears (I think it was on Ipods) after a reboot or...
02:00
02:00:34pixelma...if edit/delete the config.cfg (in the .rockbox directory) from your computer

02:01:18`Sader`Alright, I'm trying it now.

02:03:34pixelmayou're welcome :)
02:04:18`Sader`While i'm here, is there anywhere to get more games/demos like the ones that come defaultly?(I already have iBoy)
02:04:22pixelmamud-rb: but I _believe_ that there is a bug on Ipods that playback doesn't work after it was in recording mode or so
02:04:52linuxstbpixelma: Yes, not all ipods though (but the Nano is one of the ones affected)
02:05:04mud-rb`Sader`: all of the suppored ones are installed by default. you can look in flyspray for game plugins ('patches' on the left of the rockbox site)

03:24:06ChristopherWlol, there's two people so far that say "hello" and leave :)
03:24:42DavidSGsorry that first one was me, i thought it would be better to use my real name.
03:24:46mud-rbChristopherW: yeah, it seems pretty common...apparently people can't look to the right and realize that there's people here or something
03:25:23ChristopherWI guess if they really need help they'd say something more than just "hello"
03:28:13DavidSGHas anyone here read my proposal, any feedback would be appreciated.

04:38:44wyoaki'm out of ideas...on both of my sansa players (c250 and e250), i can't get the DB to initialize, even on a blank player
04:39:21linuxstbI'm not sure if the database works with a blank player... (although that bug may have been fixed)
04:39:32wyoaki'm trying the e250, and it counts up all the files on the player (around 1700 in total, with themes and stuff), and never moves. the .rockbox directory has the database.ignore on it
04:39:47wyoaklet me put a few songs on there.....
04:41:03n17ikhhow does rockbox calculate the battery life?
04:41:18n17ikhI just got done charging the battery in the OF on my e260 and it says 60% in RB
04:43:07wyoakyeah, even with songs on there it still seems like it's trying to add the .rockbox directory to the database

04:44:50n17ikhaccording to a very old mailing list post it's based on a moving average and is incorrect immediately after boot... is that still correct?
04:47:59A-4n17ikh: battery life is based on the voltage the battery currently has. 4.5 V = 100%; 22.5 volt = 0%
04:48:34wyoakthe stock firmware builds its database fine
04:48:47wyoaki wonder if my computer is doing something wierd, since it happens on both players
04:52:05A-4n17ikh: the battery % just after boot is supposed to be a bit low because booting consumes quite a bit of enery which causes the voltage to drop temporarily, i belive right after boot 5% is added to the battery life to make up for this voltage drop
04:52:14n17ikhbleh... that's a pretty terrible way to calculate power remaining in a li-ion
04:52:52n17ikhseems silly to me to build hardware using modern batteries that doesn't keep track of mWh
04:56:20A-4wyoak: you could put a few files in some subdirs of .rockbox and check if they are also appear in the database
04:56:47wyoakthe database never finishes initializing
04:57:00wyoakit just counts all the files on the player and stops there
04:57:27linuxstbwyoak: Do you restart your player when that happens?
04:57:43wyoaki've left it on for a while before, tried restarting it too
04:57:47wyoaknever can get past that
04:57:54wyoakthe files view works fine though

10:49:38Mouser_XVery true. I did say "soonish" for a reason.

11:18:12linuxstbChristopherW: Regarding 8844 - it looks good to me (it was something I originally wanted to implement, but wasn't sure how to do it). You should try and point Nico_P to the patch when he's next around, as he knows the wps parser best.
11:18:15*gevaerts just talked to the real USB guy here, and has some new insights on the USB problem
11:19:38pixelmacool, maybe you should try to get him interested in Rockbox... :)
11:19:46gevaertsWhat _probably_ happens is that the controller can't access RAM fast enough, which causes it to send out the entire packet a bit too late
11:20:12gevaertsSo the bit timing within a packet is still correct
11:20:16linuxstbpixelma: Do you still think that this feature is useful? http://www.rockbox.org/tracker/task/8844
11:21:04gevaertsIf this happens near the end of a microframe, the packet collides with the SOF sent by the host. This causes the weird EHCI errors in my dmesg
11:21:23 Quit joshin (Read error: 110 (Connection timed out))
11:21:47ChristopherWlinuxstb: ok, I'll try to let Nico_P know about it tomorrow (well, later today, as it's 2:21 am here)
11:21:56linuxstbgevaerts: I thought you had tested with the buffers in IRAM?
11:22:16pixelmalinuxstb: I'm not sure
11:22:31gevaertsDue to cable delays and hub latencies, the probability of this microframe overflow happening is much higher with long cables (front port vs back port) or with hubs in between
11:22:50gevaertslinuxstb: I can't get it to work at all with IRAM
11:23:23linuxstbgevaerts: That's odd... Have you looked at the USB code in e200tool? I thought that used IRAM.
11:23:32linuxstbor is that doing things very differently?
11:24:09gevaertslinuxstb: I'll have another go this weekend. We'll see
11:26:54 Join tvelocity [0] (n=tony@athedsl-4395704.home.otenet.gr)
11:27:12gevaertslinuxstb: but anyway, for decent performance we need at least 16kb and preferably 32kb of buffer. That's a lot of IRAM...
11:29:05pixelmalinuxstb: for example, it took me a while to get the iCatcher.diff there. It's nice that the WPS code gets shorter (especially the codec one) but it also hides things
11:29:07*gevaerts likes understanding things better, even if this doesn't make any difference to what the probable solution would be
11:30:06 Quit ol_schoola ()
11:34:04ChristopherWpixelma: a nice thing about FS #8844 is that you can take it or leave it. It doesn't change most uses of sub-images inside conditionals
11:34:45ChristopherWer, I mean most *existing* uses, so current WPS files should work fine
11:35:05linuxstbgevaerts: That shouldn't be a problem though - USB should be able to claim the plugin/codec IRAM (at least 48KB)
11:35:10pixelmayes, I see that
11:36:11linuxstbChristopherW: IMO, the problem is that it creates two ways to do the same thing. i.e. adds complication for only a little gain. I'm not saying I'm completely against it, just that it's not _needed_.
11:37:21ChristopherWI think the same can be argued of sub-images themselves too
11:37:51pixelmabut sub-images are a big gain IMO ;)
11:38:01ChristopherWbut I believe my patch is just a logical extension of sub-images
11:38:02gevaertslinuxstb: for UMS, yes. But because for MTP rockbox retains full control of the disk it would be nice to allow playback to continue. For USB Audio I haven't worked it out yet...
11:38:08amiconnlinuxstb: That would need a lot of precautions...
11:38:23linuxstbChristopherW: No, sub-images have the real advantage of significantly speeding up the loading time of WPSs.
11:38:54amiconngevaerts: It might very well be that the usb controller can't access the iram at all
11:39:01pixelmaChristopherW: that and you can use more images than before (if there were few at the same spot
11:39:24gevaertsamiconn: entirely possible
11:39:30linuxstbamiconn: What's the issue? I thought USB stopped everything running?
11:40:29*gevaerts suggests to first try to find out if this discussion is actually needed (i.e. if IRAM is actually usable for this)
11:41:00ChristopherWpixelma: with more changes to the parser, it should even be possible to have more than 52 sub-images per image, but all of the sub-images can be referenced only through my patch or through another incompatible different method

11:41:56pixelmaI don't get that
11:42:11amiconnlinuxstb: Not at all. USB stops rockbox from accessing the disk. A plugin might enter the usb screen, but it might still have iram in use -> crash after exiting the usb screen without precaution (i.e. swapping out & in)

11:42:40LinusNgevaerts: i wonder if it would be beneficial to avoid the uncached-address alias and instead perform explicit cache flushes?
11:42:45ChristopherWfor example, you could have 100 sub-images (say, for a vertical or even diagonal! progress bar)
11:43:02linuxstbamiconn: OK. I thought plugins were forced to quit.
11:43:32MartinRgevaerts: with Windows I've never seen transfers larger that 4kb im my traces
11:43:42linuxstbChristopherW: Wouldn't that quickly fill up the available image buffer?
11:43:44ChristopherWand you can use "%?px<%xdp>" to reference all 100 sub-images at once
11:43:55pixelmaChristopherW: ah, understand now. But do we really need it? People tend to do crazy things in WPS though...
11:44:15ChristopherWwell, I'm using extreme examples
11:44:33LloreanWell, non-extreme examples can be done using existing means...
11:44:50MartinRgevaerts: Speed was at 5.5mb/s while reading though.

11:45:10amiconnLinusN: No. cache flushes block the processor, while uncached access only has a small speed penalty for typical buffer copying on PP
11:45:53pixelmaChristopherW: and with current means you could combine say 2 bitmap strips for said 100 piece progress bar... you have 52x52 images
11:45:56MartinRThat's a bit more than with OF.
11:45:58LinusNamiconn: yes, it blocks the cpu, but i was curious if it in some way would affect the dma in a positive way
11:46:14gevaertsLinusN: that won't help as long as the problem is caused by non-usb-related access
11:46:39ChristopherWpixelma: and then you still have to specify all 100 sub-images in the %?px<> conditional
11:46:42LinusNi wonder what kind of access that would be
11:47:12pixelmaChristopherW: but I'm rather undecided on the issue myself
11:47:35LinusNwhat if we changed the burst mode in the dram controller?
11:48:19LinusNhmmm, when i think of it, long dram bursts could severely hamper the dma
11:49:22gevaertsThe delays that case problems seem to be (if I don't miscount anything) on the order of one microsecond
11:49:25LinusNlike if the cpu occupies the dram with a long burst write when the usb dma needs to read
11:49:27gevaertss/case/cause/
11:49:54LinusNone microsecond is a long time
11:50:14ChristopherWignoring theoretical advantages (such as possibly more sub-images), here is a summary of the pro's and con's of my sub-image patch: PROS: smaller WPS files (optional, but can beneficial to the WPS author), CONS: very slightly larger code size.
11:50:32gevaertsI'll try to get an accurate measurement this weekend
11:50:42MartinRgevaerts: Ok about Linux. But just in case we had to use a smaller buffer, we would still achieve a decent speed, I believe.
11:50:53LinusNChristopherW: another pro: would be simpler wps authoring
11:51:11 Join desowin [0] (n=desowin@atheme/developer/desowin)
11:51:19*gevaerts doesn't know anything about dram burst settings
11:51:23LloreanLinusN: I'm not entirely sure it would be much simpler. Maybe faster, but making things less explicit makes debugging a bit harder.
11:52:46LloreanI imagine, among other things, it'll irritate new authors getting automatic subimage use working with ones such as Play/Pause/FF/RW since you now have to be aware of the exact order of the conditional when designing your images, rather than just picking each image individually.
11:53:09LinusNwell, i always thought that the long lines with bitmap id:s in conditionals were prone to typos
11:53:28gevaertsMartinR: on high speed it probably doesn't make much difference, but on full speed this kind of buffer size difference can easily cause a 20% slowdown
11:53:53LloreanAlso, and I don't know if you can do this yet (but it's something that should be added, imho, if you can't) it would conflict with any case where you have a strip that's mixed use (for example, Volume and Battery icons are the same size, so you make a single file containing both and split them between two conditionals)
11:53:59pixelmaLinusN: did you take a look at the iCatcher.diff in there and tell me if you understood the battery level line (the %xdA one). Though I have to admit that's quite complicated code in general to I believe get a charging animation
11:54:09ChristopherWLlorean: you still have to be aware of the exact order even with separate images
11:54:55LloreanChristopherW: I didn't say you didn't. I just said you would then need to be aware when designing the images, rather than simply be aware when creating the .wps file (which you're more likely to be doing with the .wps syntax page open)
11:55:06ChristopherWpixelma: the animation is a little spinning thing when playback is paused, not the bettery
11:55:28MartinRgevaerts: Ahh, yes there's higher latency with full speed. Didn't think of that.
11:55:39pixelmaLlorean: you could do that (and address the sub-images in a different order but it's of course a bit confusing)
11:56:11pixelmaChristopherW: there are two animation lines and I meant the first which is battery level (and charger)
11:56:26gevaertsMartinR: and full speed is exactly where the difference hurst most
11:56:38LinusNhmm, perhaps an animation wps tag would be useful?
11:56:52ChristopherWpixelma: oh, you're right (I didn't look at it too closely) :-/
11:57:29gevaertsLinusN: can we actually control burst mode on PP ?
11:57:30ChristopherWLinusN: yes, an animation tag is another thing that would be helpful
11:57:31Lloreanpixelma: It just doesn't seem to address a "real" problem to me (the patch thati s)
11:57:53LinusNgevaerts: i think we can, we just don't know how... :-(
11:57:55LloreanWith better WPS creation tools, which we may have after the summer, the author doesn't need to see the actual code anyway.

12:07:13linuxstbChristopherW: No, please don't ;) The patch looks good, it's just that we're unsure about the feature...
12:08:03LloreanChristopherW: We always like to see people trying to improve things. It just so happens that "improvement" is somewhat of a subjective idea.
12:08:49ChristopherWare you guys considering developing higher-level features in the wps that would make my patch irrelevant?
12:09:35LloreanChristopherW: There's the possibility of a graphical WPS creation tool, which makes the more significant benefit (easier to read .wps files) much less important since people will no longer be reading them in almost all cases.
12:11:06ChristopherWhmm, ok, but I still wonder what the downsides to my patch are even with the presence of graphical authoring tools
12:11:08pixelmabut that somehow reminds me of html creation tools which sometime lead to quite unreadable html code though...
12:11:43 Nick fxb__ is now known as fxb (n=felixbru@h1252615.stratoserver.net)
12:11:56ChristopherWbecause my patch is more of an "improvement" to the language than to the parser itself
12:12:47ChristopherWthe graphical wps authoring software can take advantage of the simpler language just as well as a person who manually edits his wps files

12:13:12 Part MartinR
12:13:12ChristopherWs/simpler/more flexible/
12:13:25LloreanI don't see it as being particularly more flexible.
12:13:54LloreanIt allows more images, but requires that they be in large subimage strips, which already average somewhat larger images that properly sized individual images (by necessity of sharing the size of the largest image) and there's a finite buffer for images already
12:14:08pixelmaand simpler is relative (see battery animation line)
12:14:28LloreanI think its added flexibility would be very, very limited, and the special cases you've described would be better solved with other solutions (progressively revealed bitmaps, like the progress bar, for volume, for example)
12:14:48pixelmain some places it's really more simple (e.g. the codec strip)
12:15:16Lloreanpixelma: But, in the case of the codec strip, it wouldn't be much more simple for a GUI tool anyway.
12:16:25ChristopherWeven progressively revealed bitmaps are too limited for me: the revealing of the bitmap is limited to a sharp vertical edge sliding horizontally
12:16:33LloreanChristopherW: Says who?
12:16:54LloreanThat's how it's currently done with the WPS, but that's not necessarily how it has to be done in the future.

12:16:58LloreanEr, with the progress bar.
12:17:07ChristopherWhow would you propose revealing a bitmap differently? using a different bitmap as a mask?
12:17:24LloreanRevealing it vertically or diagonally.
12:17:28ChristopherWwith an alpha channel?
12:18:24pixelmayour DAP is not a PC
12:18:41LloreanUsing a single bitmap, and just revealing more of it, will in a lot of cases save you a good deal of image buffer that can then be put to good use elsewhere.
12:18:44ChristopherWI know, that alpha channel bit is partly a joke
12:20:38pixelmasorry, didn't see Llorean's first mention of it
12:20:47pixelma(the revealing I mean)
12:21:12ChristopherWhow about a "palette-ized" bitmap, where ranges of indexes are shown depending on the current volume/playback position/battery level?
12:21:41ChristopherWthat would be complicated to create in a drawing program, to say the least
12:21:54*Bagder would like a to see alpha channel being seriously attempted
12:22:13Bagderjust ignore amiconn during the testing ;)
12:22:13LloreanBagder: There's an "antialiased font" patch floating in the wild somewhere, but it's not on our tracker.
12:22:24LloreanBagder: At least one of the unsupported builds out there makes use of it.
12:22:24*gevaerts proposes a gsoc project :)
12:22:36Bagderthere have been several alpha channel things in the past too
12:23:13Bagderespecially our fast-cpu targets should have little problems using it
12:23:15LloreanChristopherW: My point is, other than "allow one to use way too many images", I can't see what your patch actually adds.
12:23:32LloreanChristopherW: Under the assumption that the user will never see the .wps file, that is.
12:23:53pixelmaI'm still not convinced that an anti-aliased font looks really better (read: more readable) at the usual Rockbox font sizes (if I see results of PC graphic programs)
12:24:07ChristopherWtrue, my patch does not change anything visibly in the actual WPS
12:24:30Lloreanpixelma: I think at larger sizes (gigabeat / iPod Video screens) there are font sizes in use where antialiasing would help
12:25:13Bagderand I think an alpha channel's primary use would be for transparency things in the gui rather than "just" anti-alias
12:25:38LloreanChristopherW: So, if a GUI program comes about that can handle the complexities of the old tokens, your patch would at that point become "waste some binsize for a feature that does not affect users". I'm not saying it should be rejected now, but I think it may bear some waiting to see what happens.
12:26:02peturBagder: did you read http://www.theregister.co.uk/2008/04/04/creative_restores_home_brew_vista_driver_links/ ?
12:26:06ChristopherWI think that anti-aliased fonts are "fuzzier" on my Sansa e280 at least
12:26:16Bagderpetur: no!
12:26:29peturseems it backfired on creative ;)
12:26:35Bagderbig time
12:26:44ChristopherWplus the anti-aliasing looks very different depending on the viewing angle (read: bad at most angles)
12:26:50LloreanBagder: I'm trying to imagine what UI elements would make use of alpha channels.
12:27:10ChristopherWLlorean: a HUD perhaps?
12:27:31pixelmaChristopherW: a what?
12:27:32Bagderwe could have pop-up menus with transparent "backgrounds"
12:27:40Bagderand splashes as well
12:27:43ChristopherWyou can use a plugin but still see the WPS overlayed with beautiful translucency
12:28:14pixelmaI think I'd only find that confusing
12:28:27gevaertsAlbum art with alpha channels !

12:28:48Bagdertranslucent album art across the entire screen! ;-)

12:29:18BagderLlorean: it's a question of how translucent it would be
12:29:19*gevaerts thinks that one alpha channel is too restrictive. You need one per color channel
12:30:12ChristopherWwhy not two per color channel?
12:30:21ChristopherWor four?
12:30:38gevaertsHow would you use them ?

14:06:00kritter`i have an ipod nano and i was devastated that after adding some new files i could not get a listing of anything on ipod. it had a good number on them previously never thought there would be a problem.
14:06:51kritter`so i decided to do the best thing and get an iriver h320 which i hope is much better than the nano with rockbox on it (even without)
14:07:06kritter`yes i heard that maybe 1.5 hours ago dionoea not sure when they will be back up
14:07:22pixelmaI guess is the WPS backdrop image is also stored in the WPS image buffer, meaning I can't save anything by making a bmp a backdrop instead of a loaded image?
14:07:23Lloreandionoea: They're not totally broken. Refreshing sometimes works. Unfortunately, nothing I can do.
14:07:42dionoeaAh ok. I'l just have to wait then :)
14:07:47linuxstbpixelma: No, that's a separate buffer IIRC...
14:07:55Lloreanpixelma: I think the backdrop gets a sep... yeah, what linuxstb said
14:08:21 Quit corevette (Read error: 110 (Connection timed out))
14:08:37linuxstbpixelma: Yes, it does - there are two backdrop buffers declared (main and wps)
14:10:03 Quit davina (Read error: 104 (Connection reset by peer))
14:10:04pixelmagood, so I should try - if I make the rating box in "Boxes" a colour bitmap, I get "read_bmp_fd: Bitmap too large for buffer: 21120 bytes." on the Ipod Video. But it doesn't use a backdrop yet but a large bitmap across the whole screen using a lot of transparent magic magenta
14:10:59pixelmathat would be solved by making it a backdrop... I already wondered because besides that one the bitmaps are quite small
14:11:42 Join davina [0] (n=davina@cpc1-sout6-0-0-cust616.sotn.cable.ntl.com)
14:11:54LloreanWell I mean, a fullscreen color bitmap would be something like 1/3 of the bitmap buffer right there, isn't it?
14:15:19pixelmahow large is the bitmap buffer?
14:16:40LloreanThere's a formula for it somewhere. It's defined in terms of screen dimensions, and bit depth.
14:16:42 Join Spex [0] (i=opera@dslb-088-074-195-054.pools.arcor-ip.net)
14:16:50linuxstb#define IMG_BUFSIZE ((LCD_HEIGHT*LCD_WIDTH*LCD_DEPTH/8) + (2*LCD_HEIGHT*LCD_WIDTH/8))
14:17:15LloreanSo actually a fullscreen image would be a more significant portion of it than I thought.
14:17:45*gevaerts thinks that this should be a malloc()/realloc() system :-P
14:17:49*gevaerts runs away
14:17:52linuxstbgevaerts: What a great idea!
14:18:19*linuxstb doesn't understand the point of the second part of that formula - ignoring depth...
14:19:07Lloreanlinuxstb: Enough for one screen's worth of color images, and two screen's worth of mono-images.
14:19:20LloreanSince mono images are handled separately (and were more used back when we didn't have a transparent color)
14:21:11 Part Spex
14:25:41amiconnlinuxstb: That formula reserves space for 1 fullscreen native bitmap + 2 fullscreen mono bitmaps
14:25:55amiconnBah, too late

14:28:25pixelmabtw. I was a bit surprised that mono bitmaps in the WPS are drawn as I would expect it - black as foreground and white as background colours. Wasn't that a problem with the icons in the menus?

14:46:44 Quit knittl (Remote closed the connection)
14:49:21pixelmawell, yeah maybe. But it looks like it doesn't work currently (you could try the current "Boxes" theme on an Ipod Video or sim) but that's a different thing than what I meant. If I remember correctly then the old mono bitmaps were always drawn with black as foreground colour (maybe white was "clear" there) and people reported problems who used a bright on very dark colour scheme...
14:49:55pixelma...which is why JdGordon invented "magic cyan" for them to be interpreted as foreground colour
14:50:46Lloreanpixelma: Ah, no.
14:50:48pixelmaI thought...
14:50:56LloreanMono bitmaps worked right (well, were working right at one point)
14:51:13LloreanMagic Cyan was for the icons, because those weren't actually treated the same way as mono bitmaps
14:51:46*Llorean can't remember why though
14:52:13pixelmayes, that's why it surprised me that they work somewhat correctly in WPSs (at least without magic colours)
14:52:44LloreanWell, afaik, mono bitmaps have worked in the WPS for quite some time.
14:53:09pixelmaor the other way round: it surprised me that it didn't work correctly in menus...
14:53:13LloreanAaaah
14:53:20LloreanYeah, I can't remember why they didn't work in the menus.
14:53:43linuxstbIIUC, there is only one type of icon - "native format", but in the WPS, the two types of bitmaps are distinguished when read from the .bmp file.
14:56:40pixelmaI just noticed that my longer response misses an important word... I was speaking about the "old mono icon bitmaps"
14:57:55pixelmaa backdrop works nicely, thanks
14:59:08*Llorean is glad to hear it.

17:13:41n1slinuxstb: yes but the plugins/Makefile uses SUBDIRS and lets the dir plugins do all the linking etc themselves while the codecs/Makefile does all the linking of codes and the individual makefiles just make libs
17:14:02n1ss/codes/codecs/
17:14:16amiconnThis is because some subdir plöugins *need* their own linking (for overlaying on archos)

17:18:43linuxstbIt seems to be a bug in the export feature somewhere - it's exporting a text string without quotes if the content is numeric - i.e. "00" is being output as plain 00, and getting confused with "0" (output as 0)

19:46:25*gevaerts wonders if maybe amiconn doesn't like touchscreens ;)
19:46:40Horschtwell, desowin. aren't ipod touch and the iphone actualy the same hardware (minus some phone stuff on the itouch of course)
19:46:52amiconnCertainly not - and I also don't like devices which are too big for their capacity
19:47:28amiconnOf the more recent flash-based rockbox targets, I deem the c200 the most interesting (because it's _small_)
19:48:15HorschtI myself would be interested in an ipod touch if it had at least 80GB
19:49:41*gevaerts thinks that touchscreens are very useful in general, but doubts if that carries over to an audio player. After all, you want to operate those by touch alone
19:50:17Rincewindamiconn: I noticed that the c200 has less electrical noise in the headphones than the e200

19:51:12*amiconn thinks that touchscreens are nice for *stationary* devices which *require* you to look at the screen while operating them
19:51:35amiconnBut for mobile devices they don't make sense to me
19:52:11amiconnIdeally I want to be able to operate the thing without looking at it - that's why I much prefer mechanical buttons over touchy stuff
19:52:40gevaertsexactly. Unless you want this media player for video _only_ (and even then...), you want real buttons
19:53:39amiconnAnd those mechanical buttons should be placed on one face of the device (ideally the front), because that makes one-handed operation easy

20:26:56amiconnRight now, you need to ifdef the code whenever you want to assign multiple buttons to the same action, need to use _PRE buttons for short/long decisions etc
20:26:56Horschthave it on a button combo with select would be better (talking about ipod video, btw)
20:27:30amiconnWith actions, all this is just an array. Assigning the same event to multiple buttons for some targets won't require any ifdef in the code

20:43:15BigBambiCoolio, just wanted to check
20:43:37BigBambiWhen does the slowness occur? i.e. how often roughly?
20:43:55asdruballike when I click forward multiple times or hit forward than backward
20:44:02asdrubaland then maybe forward again
20:44:44asdrubalquestion: INT: 862MB/957MB means that's how much is used or is free?
20:44:52BigBambiasdrubal: It is when you skip out of the end of buffered data, it needs to refill the memory from 'disk'
20:45:01ChristopherW862 is how much is free
20:45:25BigBambiIt is expected to be slower than skipping within buffered tracks, but 10 seconds sounds a bit long
20:45:30asdrubalBigBambi, shouldn't reading from flash be low latency?
20:45:44BigBambilatency isn't the only issue
20:45:59BigBambiIt also has to read the data from flash to memory
20:46:13BigBambiBut yes, 10 seconds sounds a bit slow
20:46:15asdrubalI guess microsd is only what, 10MB /sec?
20:46:39BigBambiI wonder if it is filling the entire buffer before starting the next track
20:46:44asdrubalBigBambi, well thanks for the tips.. I guess I'll go on my walk now. if I get problems I'll let ya know

20:47:37asdrubalBigBambi, it's only after I do a bunch of forwards and backwards
20:47:41amiconnReading the microsd is certainly slower than 10MB/sec in rockbox
20:47:42asdrubalin combination
20:47:47asdrubalamiconn, why's that?
20:49:17gevaertsasdrubal: microsd is not very fast, and the rockbox driver is not optimal

20:57:28austrian_guestWhat does "The sample buffer should be 32-bit aligned" mean? Unsigned int? Unsigned long?
20:57:49ChristopherWon ARM, an int is 32 bits
20:58:12amiconnIt means it should be 32 bit aligned. Use int32_t

21:03:51amiconnint is 32 bits on amd64
21:04:37ChristopherWI guess it doesn't really matter how big the sizes are, as long as they meet the constraints given in the ANSI/ISO C standard
21:04:49amiconnThat's why amd is called an 'lp64' platform, as Longs and Pointers are 64 bits. There are also ilp64 platforms
21:06:58ChristopherWbut a C compiler writer can choose almost any size for each type, regardless of the platform (on am64, the compiler author could use 64-bit shorts, ints, longs, and long longs if he wanted)
21:09:14ChristopherWgranted, it's somewhat wasteful to do that
21:09:43gevaertsYou forgot char...

22:50:12jhMikeSamiconn: here (though not for long)
22:51:46pixelmaI guess not many people care but thought I could ask. The H300 port of the "Boxes" theme currently achieves a viewport like thing for the main box by overlaying a bitmap as some kind of frame (the center is transparent). I guess this doesn't even look nice when the line has to scroll (if it shows up at all currently). Any objections to making it a real viewport now (gets rid of the bitmap)?
22:52:03 Quit austrian_guest ("CGI:IRC")
22:52:07Lloreanpixelma: Sounds like a good idea to me.
22:53:18pixelmaI'd like to not make it too complicated and would only use 1 viewport which means that the peakmeter is also not the width of the screen (anly the viewport's) and the time and date info at the top would be a bit shifted to the left

22:55:22pixelmaok, that could always be changed later if someone thinks it isn't appropriate I guess
22:55:55amiconnjhMikeS: How costly is a corelock?
22:57:42amiconnI need to introduce core locking in lcd-gray.c for certain functions, and I'm not sure whether it's better to let the other core *occasionally* wait a bit longer, or rather lock/unlock quite often
22:58:02jhMikeSamiconn: practically free
22:58:38amiconnOkay, so you think I could lock/unlock for each pixel line transferred?
22:58:44*Llorean thinks "practically free" is almost as dangerous a phrase as "trust me" or "it'll be easy"
22:58:55amiconn(in lcd_blit_mono() and lcd_blit_grey_phase(), to be precise)
22:58:59jhMikeSit's definitely more expensive if using peterson's rather than swp
22:59:13amiconnThis will only be used on 1st/2nd Gen, so PP5002
23:00
23:00:08amiconnI need to lock out the CPU from flipping the invert bit (due to backlight change) while the cop is doing grey blits
23:00:25jhMikeSI'd do some tests if using it for every line. The call version could perhaps become measureable.

23:03:33BigBambiwe know
23:03:55Nico_PjhMikeS: accross several cores? when does a block of code interact with several cores?
23:04:21jhMikeSNico_P: google about spinlocks (I've munged some terminology :)
23:04:21 Quit mcuelenaere (Read error: 104 (Connection reset by peer))
23:04:28amiconnjhMikeS: Another question: If I have some data that is just filled in once from the CPU, and only used by the COP afterwards, I don't need UNCACHED_ADDR(), correct?
23:04:51Nico_PjhMikeS: ok. I tried core lock in wikipedia but assumed it wasn't the right result :)
23:04:53jhMikeSNico_P: whenever COP/CPU both attempt to use a piece of code at the same time
23:04:53amiconnAll I need to do is flush the cache after the initial filling?
23:05:19jhMikeSamiconn: flush the writing core, invalidate the reading core
23:05:27Nico_PjhMikeS: ah, so it's mutual exclusion between cores instead of threads?
23:05:28BigBambiappleipodder: There isn't much we can do at the moment, just be a bit patient :)
23:06:10jhMikeSNico_P: it's a simpler lock for sections that complete quickly and does no blocking
23:06:16amiconnHmmm. How would I invalidate on the reading core if I have no thread running there?
23:06:53Nico_PjhMikeS: it uses busy waiting instead, is that it?
23:07:06jhMikeSNico_P: yes
23:07:46amiconnBtw, greyscale-on-cop speeds up doom by ~50%, and test_fps for greyscale by ~42%
23:07:49jhMikeSamiconn: that's always the rub - the core itself has to do it
23:08:38amiconnOnly very little load remains on CPU (probably due to RAM access by the COP) - measured 2% on PP5002, and 1% on PP5022
23:11:19jhMikeSI was working on actually making NOCACHE_*ATTR real sections - the .map files look ok but something is fighting me
23:11:52*amiconn wants to do that too
23:11:58jhMikeSbasically it works but there's some minor trouble I haven't tracked down yet
23:12:02amiconnThat is if you're not beating me :)
23:12:25amiconnI need it in order to put grey on COP in plugins which must not use IRAM

23:12:59***Saving seen data "./dancer.seen"
23:13:16amiconnRight now I can only do it if struct grey_info is in IRAM, i.e. in test_fps, doom, mpegplayer and zxbox
23:13:46amiconnGrey on COP will be a feature bit - so one can still run it on CPU if desired
23:14:34amiconnThe bit will be simply ignored on single-core targets, so no ifdefing at all in the plugin :)

23:15:04jhMikeSthe SPC codec was working like that, but mpegplayer fails to init and playback locks after some time (this might be due to having some trouble in the frequency scaling)
23:16:00amiconnBtw, is the SPC codec dynamically adjusting its precision, or is it just a coincidence that it is *just even* realtime on PP5002?

23:19:11jhMikeSthe boost wasn't much higher on my 3g than for H10 or e200 and I could play every single track on 3g

23:20:32 Join thegeek [0] (i=thegeek@s220b.studby.ntnu.no)
23:20:44amiconnI mean whether the SPC codec adjusts its output precision (emulation precision, whatever) dynamically to get the best possible quality using all available power
23:21:18amiconnThe tracks I tried produce ~92% boost ratio on my 2nd Gen
23:24:46 Quit seren ("CGI:IRC (EOF)")
23:25:56jhMikeSit's has no dynamic precision. 92% is about normal for the heaviest tracks.

23:27:06jhMikeSit won't affect it since most of the load is on COP
