00:10:25ffrHello. This isn't strictly a RB related question but indirectly it is. I want to make a new font and have downloaded font forge. I use cygwin. X starts OK but when I start fontforge nothing happens. I searched the internet but there are no real clues. Has anybody experienced this and knows how to fix the problem?

00:25:38AT-wphi there, I just bought a Sansa e260v2. how far is the project with adapting rockbox to that hardware version? I am wondering whether to return it or wait for the port.
00:25:42[TiZ]Hey, is unifont included with Rockbox by default?
00:25:52ffrNo luck with fony. It can't correctly import bdf files.
00:26:01BagderAT-wp: not very far, there isn't a lot of work going on with it...
00:26:20BagderAT-wp: the main obstacle probably being that we know of no rescue or recovery mode
00:26:32ffr[TiZ]: I think you have to download the font pack
00:26:42[TiZ]I'll just include it with my theme, then.
00:27:15ffr[TiZ]: no need to do this, just say your theme requires unifont. It's huge.
00:27:41[TiZ]Huge?
00:28:08[TiZ]Oh, jeez!
00:28:08AT-wpBadger: damn. a friend of mine recommended the player and rockbox and I was hoping that amazon still carries v1. too bad, but thanks anyway. can you recommend something like this player?
00:28:12[TiZ]1.32 MB!
00:28:15 Quit RubberDucky132 ("ChatZilla 0.9.81 [Firefox 3.0b5/2008032620]")
00:28:45BigBambi[TiZ]: The install instructions say to install the font pack - without the font pack Rockbox comes with only the built in font
00:28:45BagderAT-wp: the BuyersGuide wiki page is probably the most suitable resource
00:28:45 Quit ffr ("CGI:IRC")
00:29:07BigBambi[TiZ]: So I think it is safe to assume that people will have it installed - if they don't, they have no other fonts either
00:29:18[TiZ]Alrighty then. Thanks for that info.
00:29:23BagderAT-wp: there are early work on some targets that are still available in shops... but all existing supported targets are no longer manufactured
00:29:27amiconnBigBambi: Not entirely true anymore. The fonts required by the included themes are included in the standard .zip
00:29:27BigBambiActually, I think the font for Cabbiev2 is in the zip now too, but the bulk of the point stands
00:29:39Bagderbut now bed-time for me
00:29:41BigBambiamiconn: I just beat you :)
00:30:07AT-wpBagder: missed that one. all out of production? not my day. thanks and good night
00:31:00amiconnE.g. on H1x0, 3 fonts are shipped standard: nedore-9, nimbus-12 and helvR10
00:31:41BigBambiDammit, I was half right :)

00:42:59r0rshachsorry if this isnt the right place but i know you guys know alot about players
00:43:44peturif the drive fits you can try

00:44:29[TiZ]I think I need to pastebin my readme file to make sure its license stuff is alright. O_o
00:44:48r0rshachpetur it did yes, the only thing it doesn have listed is my zen
00:44:54r0rshachbut i compare them and they are the same size
00:45:09peturnot the size, check the connector ;)

00:45:26r0rshachthat is also the same, thanks :)
00:45:29peturzen is a new target - not supported yet and not all data up to date
00:45:50r0rshachits got the oval black post an circular one like the others
00:45:59[TiZ]Here's my readme: http://eternaleon.googlepages.com/Readmedamnit.txt
00:46:07[TiZ]Would anyone mind reading over it to make sure it's okay?
00:46:22*amiconn thinks that 'Zen' is creative's brand of daps, not a single model
00:46:33[TiZ]Zen is a brand.
00:46:40n1sr0rshach: iirc the creative players have some custom partition stuff so the other players will probably need the disk to be repartitioned/formatted before they can use it
00:46:43[TiZ]A single model would be, for example, the Zen Vision M, I think
00:47:38r0rshachnls but if i plug it in, and i just want to see if it will recognize it, thats ok to try right? the zen doesnt has the official firmware btw
00:47:55Llorean[TiZ]: You can't redistribute pictures you don't have a license to. "I found them on my hard disk" doesn't qualify as permission to share them.
00:47:56 Quit moos (Read error: 104 (Connection reset by peer))
00:47:56r0rshachi mean it is the official firmware sorry
00:48:03[TiZ]Ugh!
00:48:05n1sr0rshach: it shouldn't hurt
00:48:17[TiZ]That just made everything 1 million times harder.
00:48:38[TiZ]Okay, so what do you suggest I do?
00:48:59LloreanI also don't see a license for the "Steady as she goes" wallpaper
00:49:03BigBambiFind where they came from and get permission, or replace them with imges that you do have permission to distribute
00:49:20[TiZ]Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful. All of my efforts are totally shot.
00:49:32 Quit jhulst ("Konversation terminated!")
00:49:45[TiZ]Well, I have a deviantart account. I can at least get ahold of the creator of Steady as she Goes
00:49:52BigBambiSorry, but that is how copyright works
00:50:05[TiZ]But those other backdrops; I spent a lot of time putting them together, and I don't want them to go to waste.
00:50:22BigBambiThen you need to find the copyright holders and get permission
00:51:06 Quit linuxstb (Nick collision from services.)
00:51:08 Nick linuxstb_ is now known as linuxstb (n=linuxstb@rockbox/developer/linuxstb)
00:52:41[TiZ]So... There's no way I can distribute them at all? Like, not even under some hyper-restrictive license? It would be incredibly difficult to find the sources for the two pictures that the backdrops are made from.
00:52:52BigBambiSorry...
00:52:57LloreanNo, there's no way you can distribute them without permission to do s.
00:52:59Lloreanso
00:53:11[TiZ]How depressing.
00:54:08[TiZ]Well, I guess I'd better go scouring over DeviantART. Just the one backdrop won't do.

01:00:02 Quit Graguree ("Leaving")
01:03:56[TiZ]I can't even include them if I upload to rockbox-themes.org?
01:04:24BigBambiYou cannot distribute anything you do not have the rights to distribute
01:04:39BigBambiIt doesn't matter where you try to distribute them to
01:04:46[TiZ]Ugh... You have no idea how much I hate this.
01:05:00BigBambiSo complain to your government
01:05:09BigBambiInternational copyright law isn't our fault
01:05:19[TiZ]I understand that.
01:05:54peturbut then don't come complaining if somebody starts selling the wps you created without giving you credit...
01:05:57 Quit Xerion (Read error: 110 (Connection timed out))
01:06:15[TiZ]Well... The backdrops were technically made by me, though. I spent a lot of work on them.
01:06:22[TiZ]The WPS itself will be fine.
01:06:47Horschti don't think "technically" is enough
01:07:18BigBambiEspecially as technically they were made by someone else and modified by you
01:07:23peturI meant: in your readme file you request credit when the wps is passed along. The creator of the image you used also desrves it...
01:07:40 Quit shotofadds (Read error: 104 (Connection reset by peer))
01:07:51[TiZ]The WPS itself is my code and the silk icons.
01:08:15[TiZ]The backdrops are just included. In my eyes, they aren't actually part of the WPS.
01:08:28BigBambiFine, but you cannot distribute them
01:08:40BigBambiIt doesn't matter what they are or are not part of
01:08:55BHSPitLappyEven creative commons licenses specify variations.
01:09:07BHSPitLappyCopyright protects those, too.
01:09:47[TiZ]Silk's license says that it can be used and modified for non-commerical stuff as long as credit is given in the form of a link to the website.
01:09:54[TiZ]My readme clearly fulfills that.
01:09:59[TiZ]The only probelm area right now
01:10:02[TiZ]Is the backdrops.
01:10:09BigBambiExactly
01:10:16BHSPitLappyTake care of that.
01:10:21BigBambiYou can distribute what you like without the backdrops
01:10:27BHSPitLappyOr use an original backdrop.
01:10:33[TiZ]The one girl.bmp... The one included with the first Twilight way back when (and probably the reason it was deleted)
01:10:47[TiZ]I just need to get permission from *KariNeko on DeviantART, right?
01:10:58[TiZ]She's the creator, by the way
01:11:06LloreanYou need an explicit written permission, yes
01:11:09BigBambiThen yes
01:11:10 Quit petur ("Zzzzz")
01:11:14LloreanIn the form of, for example, a license statement.
01:11:14[TiZ]...
01:11:18BHSPitLappyI should finish the WPS I was working on a long time ago... I believe the format is a little different now, though
01:11:21[TiZ]Define "Explic- Damn it!
01:11:25LloreanIt needs to be something you can include with the WPS.
01:11:40BigBambiI would imagine (although I don't know) that to submit something to deviant art it needs a licence
01:12:00[TiZ]Maybe DeviantART itself imposes a license upon everything submitted to it.
01:12:05LloreanBigBambi: I think submitting it simply includes a "you give DeviantArt license to display it", but no other explicit license beyond that.
01:12:11r0rshachok well this is pretty sweet
01:12:24BigBambiLlorean: OK, I've never checked myself
01:12:26BHSPitLappydA lets you choose between CC licenses, and defaults to All Rights Reserved
01:12:42BHSPitLappy(by the author.)
01:13:07r0rshachmy cowon has the creative hdd and rockbox boot loader came up and it said no partition founder, its charging, but i think I can order a drive and install rockbox on it and the x5 should work fine
01:13:09[TiZ]Is there a dA search filter for CC licenses?
01:13:21BHSPitLappyProbably, why don't you ask them?
01:13:35BigBambi[TiZ]: Don't know, that is OT for here
01:13:37BHSPitLappyThis isn't a deviantArt support channel.
01:13:49[TiZ]You guys are right.
01:13:55[TiZ]We're way offtopic now.
01:13:58 Quit phinze ()
01:14:02[TiZ]Conversation = over.
01:14:07linuxstb[TiZ]: Out of curiousity, why did you choose the "non-commercial" CC license?
01:14:11amiconnVery interesting.....
01:14:24*amiconn found another difference between PP5020 and PP5022
01:15:00[TiZ]linuxstb: I don't know. It just seemed like what made sense to me. RockBox isn't made for money. None of the other themes are. So why should mine or any theme based on it?
01:15:06amiconnIPL explains the clock skipping bit, and lists 4 possible units that can be counted: clock cycles, usecs, msecs, and secs
01:15:22linuxstb[TiZ]: Rockbox's license allows commercial use though.
01:15:30amiconnBut seconds only work on PP5022; on PP5020 the core doesn't wake up again
01:15:33[TiZ]Does it? I guess I oughta change it then.
01:16:15amiconnOtherwise, IPL is more detailed on this than our pp5020.h is - I'll change that
01:16:33linuxstbamiconn: Does Rockbox use that feature?
01:16:54amiconnNot yet, but I'm thinking about making use of clock skipping in udelay()
01:17:09amiconnWon't use seconds though - not really necessary

05:59:58Lloreanthat's not how you get to disk mode
06:00
06:00:06LloreanYou hold menu+select and the instant it starts to reboot, you hold select+play
06:00:40webguest36but how i get to disk mode if it dont reboots
06:00:44webguest36thats why i cant
06:01:02LloreanIt is rebooting, that's why the screen's flashing. It's just failing immediately after
06:01:07LloreanYou could also try diagnostic mode
06:01:39webguest36how?
06:02:09LloreanI don't recall. The instructions are in the official apple support information

09:29:39 Join thegeek [0] (i=thegeek@s220b.studby.ntnu.no)
09:30:19amiconn(1) in stream_mgr.c, you're reserving the greylib memory. I think there are 2 possible simplifications. (a) the greylib automatically cachealigns now, so the CACHEALIGN* stuff could be removed
09:30:53amiconn(b) The memsize <= 0 check seems redundant, as the greylib is guaranteed to not take more memory than allowed
09:31:01jhMikeSit was nescessary at the time
09:31:16jhMikeSdoes it size align too?
09:31:55jhMikeSI suppose if it does one, it must do the other

09:33:18amiconnIt aligns the start address to a cache line boundary, and then rounds up the plane_size to a multiple of the cache line length too
09:33:35 Join phenobitch [0] (i=juma@gateway/gpg-tor/key-0xB9002659)
09:33:51amiconnIt reserves either 2 or 3 chunks of plane_size (2 for unbuffered, 3 for buffered operation)
09:35:57amiconnWhat's probably still necessary is the UNCACHED_ADDR() in the grey_init() call, because mpegplayer probably wants the chunky buffer be uncached too (the one where buffered mode functions draw into)
09:37:18jhMikeSit must be or drawing doesn't work out too well with the OSD
09:37:31amiconnyes, that's what I thought
09:37:53amiconnQuestion (2) is related to disk_buf.c. I tried to find the place where buffering stops because of buffer full, but failed. When the buffer gets full, it should call rb->ata_sleep(); like the music playback engines do
09:38:10amiconnSo where would I place that?
09:42:07jhMikeSyou mean just during streaming?

09:49:01jhMikeSoops, wrong spot...after line 185 is the normal stop
09:51:47jhMikeSprobably is a better spot for that, it can stop buffing in several spots in that function
09:54:02jhMikeSif the state switches from TSTATE_BUFFERING to anything else it has 1) filled the buffer 2) finished buffering 3) streams have ended
09:54:32jhMikeSthat would happen after the disk_buf_buffer call on line 466
09:57:13amiconnHmm, does disk_buf_buffer() fill all free space at once, or can there be several calls per buffering cycle?
09:57:33*amiconn looked at disk_buf.c for quite a while trying to understand how it works, but failed
09:59:28jhMikeSit loops and checks the queue - it's a state machine that is preemptible
09:59:49jhMikeSit fills one buffer chunk at a time (32KB)

10:00:36 Nick FOAD_ is now known as FOAD (n=dok@dinah.blub.net)
10:00:49amiconnHmm, disk_buf_buffer() seems to have several exits
10:00:51jhMikeSit has streaming and random-access mode for seeking and other operations
10:01:10jhMikeSand it's a direct-mapped file cache
10:03:55jhMikeSalso, before any streaming starts, it collects the contiguous range already cached during other activity both left and right of the start position
10:05:35jhMikeSall the windowing is flat (meaning no or very little ringbuffer calculation like found in the core engine)
10:06:20amiconnThere's another function that calls read() - disk_buf_on_load_range(). What about that one?
10:09:34jhMikeSthat's for random access only and is only called if the requested data isn't already cached
10:10:29jhMikeSThe disk is forced to keep spinning when the user is seeking about
10:11:01jhMikeSbut that's handled in the UI since that the only place to detect that activity
10:11:36amiconnYes, and that's correct
10:12:11amiconnBut normal buffering should call ata_sleep() if either the buffer is full or there is no more data, in order to save battery power and protect the hdd

10:16:51amiconnMy other question is related to interrupts - do you know the maximum allowed latency for FIQ on the PP502x targets? I did some further experiments with clock skipping, and found that if you use PROC_SLEEP and PROC_WAIT_CNT together, it waits until *both* conditions become true, instead of either one
10:17:49jhMikeSsince ata_sleep just returns immediately if the call isn't appropriate, after disk_buf_buffer do: if (disk_buf.state != TSTATE_BUFFERING) { ata_sleep(); }
10:18:29amiconnSo in order to make use of PROC_WAIT_CNT, each wait must not take longer than the maximum allowed {FIQ,IRQ} latency
10:18:40jhMikeSI think PP5002 has the smallest one for any samplerate since it's not using packed samples
10:19:15amiconnAnd btw, the count field is actually count-1, so setting it to 255 waits 256 cycles

10:22:49amiconnI think that even if only 1 microsecond is acceptable, using clock skipping is beneficial, because 1 microsecond is already either 30 or 80 clock cycles. But I think the acceptable latency is larger than 1 usec
10:23:36jhMikeSyou won't be setting bit 31 then correct?

11:09:05markundoes mpegplayer look as bad as he describes on your grayscale targets?
11:09:58markunthe old graylib looked very nice on my h120, but never tried it with videos
11:10:32amiconnWell, of course the pixels flicker, but imho the image quality is rather good when taking into account what the native capabilities of these LCDs are
11:10:50amiconnOn H1x0 you won't notice flicker because the LCD panel is so slow (good for the greylib)
11:11:05markunyes, it's very slow :)
11:11:22markundo you mind replying to that guy?
11:11:24amiconnThe old *gray*lib gave horrible flicker with moving content, but the greylib does not
11:12:05amiconnThe ipod LCD panels aren't as slow as the H1x0 one, so pixels flicker somewhat.

11:23:52amiconnBut since the latter is only filled by the CPU (grey_ub_*() functions write directly to the value buffer), and also grey_update_rect() is also only called by the CPU, the chunky buffer doesn't need to be uncached

12:05:07Buschelfrom theory it looks pretty correct. but as i do not own any PP5002-based target i cannot test or further track down the bug

12:42:25markunbut the gigabeast will be able to play it for sure, so xvid and maybe h264 playback wouldn't be completely useless.
12:43:03markunthe meizu has a calmrisc coprocessor with DSP, perhaps it can also be used to speed up video decoding a bit

14:35:50 Nick Buschel is now known as Buschel_away (n=AndreeBu@p54A3C872.dip.t-dialin.net)
14:35:53Kephuin those cases it's probably the prev button I should use - but that's somewhat counter-intuitive now that I've become accustomed to using menu to go back
14:36:05Kephu(example: file browser)
14:36:42Kephubtw: I still haven't figured out how to apply ratings to songs
14:36:57gevaertsKephu: most of this is probably caused by UI issues not being very interesting to work on... Feel free to volunteer :)
14:37:07pixelmayou'll get the main menu when pressing "menu" in the file browser afaik, what's counter-intuitive in that?

14:37:47Kephupixelma: the fact that other times, when you run an app, menu takes you just ONE level back
14:38:39Tomkiewiczhi all, could someone tell me, which is the newest version of sansa's c200 OF, that supports both rockbox and MSC mode?
14:38:42amiconnMenu only takes you one level back in the OF as well
14:39:10amiconnBuschel_away: Your new patch plays audio properly... now doing a quick boost ratio comparison
14:39:23KephuI mean, I know they're apps, but I've used the default ipod os for some time (due to linux being my only known alternative, and I've dreaded even looking at their table mentioning what's still broken), so there are things I'm used to ;)

16:24:26stripwaxIf you create a .m3u playlist on your computer, then you can just copy the playlist onto your device
16:25:34Gartrali think hes asking HOW he makes it from his comp
16:26:28stripwaxthat's not really a rockbox question... you can use any software on your PC that you want. I'm sure google can offer you tips on what software to use to make .m3u playlists. Last time I did that, I used Winamp. Does this help you?
16:26:39kakazzaWell, that I know. But I guess I have to mind the directory structure on my mp3 player.

19:12:29jhMikeSI don't expect contention most of the time and I didn improve the speed a few % by returning immediately if the first test passed

20:44:49BigBambiKephu: <soap> so, line-out and line-in work on many accessories, but if the accessory is looking for communications to and from the iPod, Rockbox can not provide.
20:45:10soapnothing that complex. Rockbox provides line-out and listens on the line-in. IF that is all an accessory needs, it will work. If the accessory is expecting communications it won't work.
20:45:16stripwaxKephu - currently, it will depend entirely on how your dock works
20:45:38Kephubut from what I see, the volume controls seem to work - are they handled differently?
20:45:43Horschtoh, damn. I just bought a radio remote for my ipod :/
20:45:45soapThere is no way in god's green hades that the IR remote will work. The line-out/in of your dock _should_ work.
20:46:05BigBambiKephu: Many accessories do the volume control themselves
20:46:06stripwaxhttp://www.rockbox.org/tracker/task/8624?histring=protocol
20:46:17soapon SOME Apple accessories the volume control is an analog attenuation of the line-out signal. Thus it works w/o communication.
20:46:36Kephuok, that answers my question ;)
20:46:42saratogai think any dock will be using the line out, and thus will provide its own volume control
20:46:59soapsaratoga, I thought of that as soon as I said what silly thing I said. ;)
20:47:00saratogai would expect them to either not work, or work with volume control
20:47:04KephuI assume this is not really a priority feature? ;)
20:47:09stripwax^ the above patch is a work-in-progress that implements some of the apple accessory communication protocol. If you have such an accessory, please try the patch and provide feedback on how well it works (if it works!)
20:47:11BigBambiIndeed not
20:47:30saratogai don't even think we have priorities
20:47:32BigBambiKephu: But devs work on what they want, there aren't really any priorities per se
20:47:39soapNobody has made it a priority feature. That being said, if it is going to happen it most likely will happen in Rockbox first. IPL is dead.
20:47:49Kephunot that it matters to me - as I said, I'm comparing the capabilities of both OSes
20:47:50stripwaxsoap - I linked to the patch above already
20:48:32Horschtbut from the comments it doesn't look like any controls work at all
20:48:35soapIPL is Linux on the iPod, with all the pluses and all the large minuses that implies. Rockbox is a music player. What do you want to use your iPod for?
20:48:36Kephuok, let me clarify: none of the developers on this channel at this time has no real interest of doing that anytime soon? ;)
20:48:45saratogai'd have thought someone would pick up that patch and work on it
20:48:59BigBambiKephu: People have interest, but not always time
20:49:05Kephusoap: actually, I'm experimenting
20:49:16saratogaserial remote control hacking is easy as hardware hacking gets
20:49:28stripwaxHorscht - surely not enough people have tested it, if those are the only comments. As stated, it currently only works with mode2 accessories
20:49:44stripwaxKephu - "doing what" ?
20:49:53KephuBigBambi: ok, let me further qualify: all of them have better things to do, project-wise, than implementing the protocol? ;)
20:49:58Horschtwhat is a mode2 accessory?
20:50:08BigBambiKephu: Or better things real life wise
20:50:11stripwaxHorscht - I don't know :) I didn't write the patch, nor do I have any accessories
20:50:28stripwaxKephu - the protocol is implemented but not fully usable or complete
20:50:28KephuBigBambi: sure, but that's not relevent to the question
20:50:32BigBambiYes it is
20:50:34soapI think it is time for an unsupported build linked to from the wikipage.
20:50:46soapmaybe people will start testing it.
20:50:50BigBambiIt may be the top of a developers list, but if they don't have the time it won't get done
20:50:50saratogahell lets just put it in SVN
20:50:55Horschti will, as soon as I get my remote
20:50:56saratoganot like it does any harm
20:50:57stripwaxgets my vote
20:51:00Kephustripwax: so it's safe to assume you're one step ahead of the IPL guys? :)
20:51:15saratogai don't think there are any IPL guys left
20:51:29soapIn the same wasy Neil Armstrong was one step ahead of Christopher Columbus.
20:51:32saratogaa few came here, and the rest vanished
20:51:34BigBambiIPL, as soap has said, is essentially dead
20:51:39Horschtlast time I checked, the ipl wiki and downloads were majorly broken
20:51:42stripwaxKephu - given that I haven't seen any IPL development in many months, it's probably safe to assume that we're always going to be at least one step ahead..
20:52:00KephuBigBambi: and what I'm asking is the position on developers' list, not whether they have anything else to do. If they do - good for them, but it doesn't really change the question
20:52:10BigBambiI don't know
20:52:13soapand their most-recent commits were mostly Rockbox ports.
20:52:25BigBambidevelopers do what they want, we don't have a list of what people are working on
20:52:29Horschtthere have been recent commits?
20:52:30stripwaxheh, yeah. "the rockbox guys found a way to do such-and-such.."
20:52:42stripwaxKephu - if you can, please try the patch
20:52:51soapThis isn't a company, Kephu. Nobody outside the hacker him or herself can speak to said hacker's priority.

20:53:30Kephusoap: and I've already qualified my question, so there's no mention of corporate whatever. ;)
20:53:33soapSo the best answer, Kephu, you can get at any one moment in time is the personal answer of whoever is listening to the question.
20:53:40BigBambiKephu: The point is we don't know
20:54:01BigBambiEveryone can only answer for themsleves
20:54:09BigBambi*themselves
20:54:50Kephuso, what I'm asking is, I guess: do YOU, any and all developer of rockbox want to code it?
20:55:03BigBambiWe can ONLY answer for ourselves
20:55:07stripwaxKephu - what is the exact question? The patch *is already coded*. It needs *testers* too.
20:55:19soapand most the developers aren't answering - so the results of the question tell you nothing.
20:55:19KephuBigBambi: and that's what I'm asking, precisely. I'm gauging interest of individuals ;)
20:55:42BigBambiPersonally I couldn't care less, but it'd be nice for the project I guess
20:55:46saratogai have no interest whatsoever

21:03:00HorschtKephu, you have to have a build environment

21:03:07BigBambiKephu: What OS?

21:09:56Nico_Psaratoga: hmm foobar seems unable to play them

21:10:33keanuhow were the rockbox fonts originally converted? from what i can tell, it was something like ttf2bdf, then convbdf, but when i tried that, the fonts were rather large
21:10:37saratogai think foobar will give you a warning in it's console if that is the case
21:10:42Nico_Pnot AFAIK. SMPlayer is ok with them
21:10:57saratogathats ffmpeg based?
21:11:10Nico_Pbased on MPlayer
21:11:27linuxstbHave you tried playing them in the sim?
21:11:28saratogaso they work in ffmpeg but not in the MS decoder
21:11:30saratogavery strange
21:11:46Nico_PI get "Unable to open item for playback (IWMSyncReader::SetRange failed (C00D0BC2)):" in foobar
21:12:00Nico_Pvlc gives me silence
21:12:48Nico_Pcodec profile: WMA v9
21:12:59Nico_Psample rate: 44100 Hz
21:13:03saratogathat should be supported (V9 == V2)
21:13:05Nico_PI'll try in the sim
21:13:36Nico_Pvlc says v10 though
21:13:50Nico_P"WMA 10 Professional"
21:14:13saratogaNico_P: pro is not supported
21:14:17Nico_Pah
21:14:33saratogahowever if IWMSyncReader fails on Windows, its probably a corrupted ASF file so who knows whats actually in it
21:14:54Nico_PI'm using foobar in wine
21:15:08saratogaoh
21:15:16saratogayeah maybe thats not surprising then :)
21:15:27linuxstbIn Linux, mplayer is probably the easiest way to get the file format - it will tell you what decoder it's using.
21:15:45saratogaif it plays at all in linux, its probably WMA V2
21:15:59linuxstbmplayer can use windows codecs though...
21:16:05linuxstb(on x86)
21:16:13saratogai didn't know that
21:16:21Nico_P"Selected audio codec: [wma9dmo] afm: dmo (Windows Media Audio 9 DMO)"
21:16:31linuxstbYes, that's a windows codec IIUC.
21:16:32Nico_Pbefore that, "Opening audio decoder: [dmo] Win32/DMO decoders"
21:16:58linuxstbSo it's not using the ffmpeg decoder.

22:54:00linuxstbCan you use device nodes directly? I thought you need to assign drive letters?
22:54:18lymecait looks like I need to specify a drive letter yes
22:54:21lymecanot sure how though
22:54:44linuxstbEdit /etc/mtools.conf
22:55:30linuxstbYou first need to make sure your partition table is OK though - did you restore one?
22:55:41lymecalinuxstb: yup
22:55:52lymecaI resotred the MBR and the firmware on /dev/sdc1
22:56:01linuxstbSo running "fdisk /dev/sdc" gives sensible looking output?
22:56:09linuxstbI mean "fdisk -l /dev/sdc"

23:01:17DerPapstheh
23:01:23linuxstbYou need to make Linux re-read the partition table after the first dd
23:01:26DerPapstyou don't dd the ipsw file

23:05:05lymecauh-oh
23:05:17lymecaI unpluggd it and tried to boot back into disk mode
23:05:28lymecabut it showed the apple logo with a slow moving progress bar down below
23:05:40lymecaI wanted to get into disk mode so I figured I'd reboot and hold select+play
23:05:44lymecabut now it won't turn on
23:05:48DerPapstbad idea
23:05:55linuxstbWas it displaying a charger symbol?
23:06:01lymecait showed that first
23:06:05*linuxstb wonders if lymeca read the wiki page...
23:06:16lymecawhich one?
23:06:27DerPapstdid the progressbar move before you reseted it?
23:06:31lymecaOh
23:06:33lymecaI see
23:06:36lymecayes it did
23:06:38lymecashit
23:06:53lymecadid I brick it?
23:06:53lymecahmm
23:06:58DerPapstmaybe
23:07:12DerPapstflip hold on and off and then try to reset it again
23:07:19Horschti thought the only way to brick an ipod was the sledge-hammer method
23:07:37DerPapstand this one
23:07:56lymecaDerPapst: Select+Menu while flipping hold?
23:07:58Horschtdoes that touch the flashrom?
23:08:21DerPapstHorscht: yes... the progressbar thingy
23:08:36Horschtok... ouch
23:08:40DerPapstlymeca: first flip on and off, then reset
23:08:45linuxstbHorscht: When you restore the Apple firmware, the Apple bootloader updates the contents of the flash. During that time, a hard reset is a bad move...
23:09:13lymecathat makes eprfect sense
23:09:19lymecaI just had no idea that that's what it was doing
23:09:20Horschtok, i'll note that down
23:09:23bertrikhmm, why is there both a hotswap.h and a hotswap-target.h? they are very similar
23:10:37lymecaokay well it doesn't seem to be turning on still
23:11:44lymecathat's pretty sad
23:11:57lymecaI know it's probably a lost cause
23:11:58lymecabut
23:12:14lymecaany other suggestions?
23:13:03linuxstbDid you have the USB cable attached when you reset it?
23:13:23lymecaI don't 100% remember but I think it was plugged in.
23:13:44linuxstbThen the flash update was probably in progress when you reset...
23:13:52lymecayeah it was
23:14:01lymecathe progress bar was moving on the bottom of the screen

23:22:03CasainhoDerPapst: I already build rockbox using the instructions from TWiki(great information :-) )
23:22:07BagderCasainho: what code? iirc, u-boot doesn't use any libc either...
23:22:36bertrikhm, the disk info debug menu does not handle V2.00 sd cards properly

23:25:11amiconnIn fact hotswap seems to be the only area that blocks us from switching to all-target-tree now
23:25:21BagderCasainho: as I said, I don't think you're correct on that
23:25:37amiconnIt needs someone with both a sansa and an Ondio to clean up (that is, do it efficiently in terms of test cycles)
23:25:44*amiconn will receive a c240 soon
23:27:02amiconnlinuxstb: You did disable dircache in your test, didn't you?

23:27:58bertrikamiconn: I can very well imagine that it's much more efficient if one person with both devices cleans it up, but I won't minding testing on my e200 if you need some help
23:28:02amiconnHmm. I wonder what's up with the disk power enable on mini then
23:28:13soapif friendlyzookeeper's native language were known, perhaps someone could speak to him in it and explain. Perhaps his problem is with English.
23:28:17amiconnYeah, testing on e200 can be helpful too

23:30:24linuxstbAlthough I seem to recall he's put a CF card in it.
23:30:44BagderCasainho: rockbox is built with arm-elf-gcc as we don't use any libc it is pointless to use a compiler that insists on one

23:32:07amiconnThat is, not a 1st Gen (was imprecise)
23:32:20CasainhoBagder: okok, I am trying to learn, understand... so I think I must know why that hello world example code does want to use the arm-linux-gcc... Bagder, I am looking for an simple example code to flash a LED, do you know where I can get one? like a tutorial?
