03:13:40kb_I'd like to dynamically generate playlists according to some specific criteria. Would it be best to alter the rockbox code to do this, or create a plugin to make these playlists?
03:14:07JdGordon|uniwhat criteria?
03:14:47kb_basically, to play songs from a certain directory for a certain amount of time, then switch to another; I wrote some python code that does it on my desktop computer, and I'm wondering how to best port it to rockbox
03:15:39kb_(more specifically, I have one language per directory, and weight the frequency I play them at, as well as how long to listen to any particular one in a row)

03:19:50JdGordon|unikb_: yeah, duno howd you go about doing that in rockbox
03:20:19kb_JdGordon: hm, ok; maybe I'll dig into how the current dynamic playlist stuff is done and do a variant on that
03:20:19ryanakcaJdGordon|uni: thanks :)

03:22:03HiddenShadowin rockbox (ipod 5g) when i set it to Charge during USB connection, it just keeps going back to disk mode...is it a known bug, or am i doing something wrong?
03:22:06ryanakcaLlorean: hmmm... *shrugs*... I had it plugged in, and it just seems to stall after a certain point... and then if I restart the iPod, it starts again at 0 and stalls at that certain point
03:23:04LloreanThat stall would indicate a problem... not that you need to wait longer.
03:23:53ryanakcaLlorean: any idea what that problem would be? The install is a daily from mid-september '07 iirc...
03:24:57ryanakca(1st gen nano)
03:25:04LloreanWell first, we really don't support old versions.
03:25:07JdGordon|uniget a new build
03:25:32LloreanBut odds are it's something in your metadata. Depends an awful lot, could be large album art, or perhaps AACs not optimized for streaming.

08:21:42amiconnOn small displays they would be confusing
08:21:59amiconnMaybe on 320x240 and higher they would work well enough
08:22:08JdGordonit wold fo course be disable-able (if not disabled by default)
08:22:28amiconnTake a look at the recording trigger screen - it's really ugly
08:22:34JdGordonI know
08:23:49amiconnImho they shouldn't be included at all on smaller displays (if we want them at all - I very much prefer the current implementation of settings)
08:25:15JdGordonI want to do it so only the value of the selected item is actually displayed
08:25:53JdGordonbut I have a strange feeling it wont happen at all because the menu code isnt perfect

10:20:49linuxstbB4gder: Do you have an opinion about the legal aspect of ROKR simulator build? i.e. linking to a proprietory version of the qt/embedded libs, and using reverse-engineered headers?
10:22:04B4gderI don't see any problems with that
10:22:15B4gderas long as we don't distribute dubious files
10:22:27 Quit homielowe ()
10:22:29JdGordonthere is also the speculation that the dubious files were nicked...
10:22:36linuxstbBut isn't that just the same as GPL'd apps linking with old (non-GPL'd) versions of Qt?
10:22:55B4gderbut linking with non-GPL stuff is not a problem when not distributed
10:24:12linuxstbWhat do you mean?
10:24:30 Join Nico_P [50] (n=nicolas@rockbox/developer/NicoP)
10:25:22B4gderI'm saying that linking GPL code with whatever is fine as long as the results isn't distributed
10:25:59B4gderso if you get the proprietary stuff from source X and rockbox from us, and link them into product Y that's fine as logn as you don't copy it to others
10:27:11linuxstbSo people could create proprietory plugins, and that's fine as long as they're distributed separately (and don't use Rockbox headers to build them)?
10:27:54B4gderyou can't build rockbox plugins without them being derivates of Rockbox so I don't think people can
10:28:29linuxstbI'm sure you could build a "rockbox-compatible" plugin independently.
10:28:51B4gdertrue, and if you do that could probably be non-GPL

10:36:22B4gderand in fact not Saratoga's either
10:37:04JdGordonhow on earth could someone make the compatible headers needed for plugins other than by straight copying them? imo thats a weak spot in the gpl
10:37:34ReKleSSJdGordon: reversing a plugin?
10:37:38B4gderyou could reverse engineer an existing binary and generate a blob quite similar to that
10:37:46B4gdershouldn't be very hard
10:38:00B4gderof course that is a grey area
10:38:10JdGordonthe blob is the easy bit... the api headers im talking about
10:38:33ReKleSSJdGordon: the ps2dev guys pulled it off to make the PSP sdk
10:38:48ReKleSS(it helps that they found a binary with debug info left in...)
10:38:54B4gderwell, a non-GPL plugin wouldn't use much of the plugin api I would think
10:38:57gevaertsI seem to remember that at least in some jurisdictions interfaces are not copyrightable, so the plugin api minus comments and documentation would apply
10:39:22linuxstbThere are also macros and inline functions...
10:39:38JdGordonand defines, and datatypes
10:39:43JdGordonand and...
10:40:20B4gderit would be work sure, and keeping up with changes would be painful, but it certainly wouldn't be impossible
10:40:48*gevaerts isn't actually planning to make a non-GPL pluging, so he isn't planning to work out the details
10:41:25B4gderand if _I_ were to do it, I'd write a fine GPL wrapper plugin that would load the proprietary one just like the linux drivers do their work-arounds
10:41:50B4gderand just like Neuros want to circumvent the VLC GPL...
10:42:26linuxstbA very minimal plugin would just need lcd_update(), the pointer to lcd_framebuffer, button_get and yield.
10:42:33linuxstbPlus some startup code I guess.
10:42:49linuxstbOr does the plugin loader do that?
10:42:50JdGordonwouldnt that plugins api need to be gpl also though?
10:44:10*linuxstb doesnloads the ROKR SDK - a .tar.gz file inside a .rar...
10:44:29B4gderdoesnloads!
10:44:32B4gder:-)
10:44:53linuxstbNo idea where that came from ;)
10:45:16scorcheso how exactly would this work out?...i mean it is a bit more than just a plugin...
10:45:20petur"to download something that doesn't work" ?
10:47:28amiconnJdGordon: If the wrapper would alsp be gpl, it wouldn't work. But I guess lgpl would work...
10:49:52linuxstbAt least in the SDK I've just downloaded, there are a lot of original Qt headers, with a "Q Public License" statement at the top of each .h They appear to date from 2004.
10:50:10B4gderwhat qt version?
10:50:19linuxstb2.3.8
10:50:49linuxstbAH, there's also a GPL statement...

11:30:34Nico_Phmm there's something wrong in debug_menu.c

12:22:44linuxstbNico_P: Going back to the microseconds symbol in debug_menu.c, I thought Rockbox used utf-8 internally for strings - meaning it was wrong prior to 15222 (and completely wrong afterwards)...
12:23:13Nico_Pso you're saying having it in UTF8 is the correct way?

12:40:23JdGordonit wont.. but if I set it to force utf8 we should be ok

12:42:27*n1s was woken up on time by the beast this morning :)
12:42:40amiconnIt's compatible with more editors, and utf-8 doesn't really have an advantage for source code

12:43:18Edenok, how do i play videos on rock box (5th ipod 30gb)
12:43:19preglowwoo, finally utf-8
12:43:35preglowthere's no good reason to keep the code base latin1
12:43:50*linuxstb doesn't care either way

13:36:19n1sshould of course be pending[1] since the TODA bit is in register 1

14:03:58jhMikeSJust because the interupt is enabled doesn't mean it must be handled explicitely. It will be cleared off by the PMIC even handler.

14:08:21jhMikeSit's enable on beast becuase there's no nice alternative anyway
14:08:25n1sjhMikeS: so nothing bad happens if the interrupt fires and isn't handled (explicitly)?
14:08:59jhMikeSn1s: no, the event handler will clear it off whenever it gets around to it
14:10:00jhMikeSactually it should just set it in there where other things are polled at startup becuase the handler runs way before rtc code gets called
14:10:54n1sok, then we only need to set it and unmask the interrupt and if it fires while we are on, just don't care because it will take about a hundred years before it reoccurs

14:54:31barrywardell_linuxstb: the background thing is more a controversial topic. there doesn't seem to be any consensus on black vs rockbox blue.
14:54:39barrywardell_my personal preference is blck
14:55:06preglowmine too
14:55:08linuxstbI would go for black because that's the colour for the default theme.
14:55:09barrywardell_preglow: it's not the default install mode with sansapatcher, but it works perfectly for my sansa. the only thing we're missing is usb recovery mode
14:55:56preglowi think going for black makes sense for other themes as well, going from black to some other colour will pretty much always look clean
14:56:01preglowgoing from light blue to red won't

15:09:16B4gderhttp://forums.rockbox.org/index.php?topic=16719.0
15:09:19linuxstbMy suspicion was raised because it's so big - about 370KB, compared to around 70KB on other targets.
15:10:20jhMikeSlinuxstb: or it's because the NOLOAD attribute isn't used
15:10:28B4gderI'm getting a bit annoyed that austriancoder seem to always break 11 things on each of his "cleanups"
15:10:52linuxstbjhMikeS: That's why I didn't fix it - I'm not comfortable with lds files.... (I don't know what NOLOAD does...)

15:12:11LloreanB4gder: Just a small bit of mitigation, that person is testing dailies so it's not *absolutely* certain that changed cause it. Though its placing makes it likely.
15:12:39B4gderyes, and his mentioning of bass/treble also points to that
15:12:52LloreanIndeed
15:12:58LloreanSince it was broken elsewhere too.
15:12:59jhMikeSlinuxstb: everything that doesn't contain data that doesn't need to be loaded such as ibss, bss or other zero-init sections
15:14:00linuxstbHmm, the other boot.lds files don't have that for the bss/ibss
15:14:01jhMikeSbut actually it won't help here since the address isn't compensated
15:15:05linuxstbI'm guessing just moving the vectors before .stack would work.
15:15:25JdGordonsounds like I'm too late (and changed my vote anyway), but having a different colour in the bootloadser and the main binary can be useful incase either freezes, you'll be able to tell which froze by the colour
15:15:28*jhMikeS just moves the vectors after data and the size goes to 77KB :)
15:15:43barrywardell_JdGordon: you can still tell by the text at the bottom ;)
15:16:07JdGordonit doesnt say bootloader does it?
15:16:11linuxstbYes, it could be nice for the text to show the status.
15:16:16barrywardell_it says the bootloader version
15:16:23barrywardell_which then changes to the rockbox version
15:16:50linuxstbThis will annoy the logo swappers though...
15:17:01JdGordonmeh to them :D

15:17:12linuxstbI didn't say that was a bad thing ;)
15:17:15*jhMikeS does some other bl changes that need doing too
15:17:49barrywardell_linuxstb: what do you mean by status? like whether we're loading rockbox or the of?
15:18:45linuxstbYes, I was thinking of a "loading xxxx" message, followed by "starting xxx" - so if anything fails, that can show the status. But maybe that's doing too much....

15:21:20linuxstbjhMikeS: Also, something I noticed today was that if the bootloader powers off the S, the hard disk makes a nasty click - I'm guessing the disk doesn't get shutdown cleanly.
15:22:28linuxstbAnyone know anything about where the S's bootloader is stored? Is it a normal NOR flash chip, or some kind of secure ROM in the imx31?
15:22:42jhMikeSlinuxstb: 1) I'm not sure to jump on removing the untar code because a testing mess up could make it useful 2) It will click if power is cut suddenly

15:48:32linuxstbBut isn't it just the startup splash screen we're talking about?
15:50:02preglowdeed
15:50:34jhMikeSamiconn: in case you were still wondering about the switch_thread calls with interrupts disabled - that's what is part of the design with list-changing calls like block_thread, block_thread_w_tmo and sleep_thread and occasionally wakeup_thread (high-priority thread woken than current).
15:51:29jhMikeSthough the last isn't currently done
15:51:32linuxstbHmm, the Rockbox bootloader doesn't start Rockbox any more for me.... Same problem as moos was reporting.
15:51:49barrywardell_linuxstb: to change the startup splash, it's easiest to change the default bg and fg. the only place I found them used was in the startup splash and in a couple of plugins which are fixed to use the old rockbox colours
15:51:50amiconnUnfortunately I seem to be unable to understand the current scheduler
15:51:51jhMikeSLlorean: had it magically start working again
15:52:01jhMikeSthat was to linuxstb not Llorean :)
15:52:13linuxstbbarrywardell_: I know - I'm agreeing with what you've done...
15:52:20barrywardell_:)
15:53:13jhMikeSamiconn: not much is ususual about it as far as schedulers go though some aspects of inheritance implementation is unique to make it complete without object ownership lists being maintained.
15:54:48jhMikeSSomething points to something other than an interrupt enable issue being the root cause since I'm rather certain that should plague every target at all time
15:55:24barrywardell_actually, reset colours also uses the default fg/bg, but it probably shouldn't. it should probably revert to the theme's defaults

16:00
16:00:28jhMikeSfyi of the day: some schedulers don't have complete priority inheritance protocols because it's considered "hard" to do and cheat by leaving threads running at their most heightened priority until all resources are released rather than dropping to the priority of the highest still-owned resource greater than the current base (too esoteric? :p). usually (and any example I came across) the full release priotocol is done by maintaining a list of

20:15:06gevaertsr13790?
20:15:20LambdaCalculus37Do you mean r17390?
20:15:37Shofr 17390
20:15:44BigBambiShof: Only by editing the code
20:15:49Shofoh ok
20:16:06Shofjust a bit strange that in the other releases that screen is white while now it is black
20:16:18BigBambiSee the front page
20:16:23BigBambiIt lists recent commits
20:16:39LambdaCalculus37A commit was just made to change the boot and splash screens.
20:16:48BigBambiAnd one of those was changing this. Also check the IRC log from today for reasoning
20:17:09Shoflend a helping a hand here..lol..like a link or something

20:19:14AceNikhey guys i dont understand what this patch does 7977
20:19:34BigBambiproper link?
20:19:41*BigBambi can't be bothered to do it manually
20:19:44Shofit is normal that when i turn on my h320, i get a white screen that shows the battery info in white and it changes to the rockbox splash screen which is black?
20:20:12moosamiconn: long time that we didn't have a feature freeze period with organisation of bug hunting...
20:20:12linuxstbYes
20:20:26bertrikamiconn: what parts do you consider bloated?
20:20:30Shofok then
20:21:10BigBambiShof: I haven't looked at the new changes
20:21:26BigBambibut a switch like that sounds not the prettiest
20:21:40*bluebrother would consider antialiased fonts bloat on a dap
20:21:47*BigBambi too
20:21:54*bertrik agrees
20:22:07BigBambiBut they are just a patch
20:22:09*jhMikeS disagrees after having seen them
20:22:09amiconnbertrik: I would remove a whole lot of things, mainly stuff I never use but which adds large chunks to the binary
20:22:17*scorche|sh wonders if he should add a few more ifdefs
20:22:43BigBambiTo be honest, I haven't looked at the AA on target
20:22:46AceNikguys what does this patch do, 7977
20:22:58BigBambiAceNik: If you give me a proper link I'll go and look
20:23:02jhMikeSthe beast OF uses true type AA font rendering
20:23:18Nico_PI think the beast can afford it :)
20:23:27bluebrotherI never understood why this should be useful on a dap. You don't look hours on it anyway.
20:23:32AceNikhttp://www.rockbox.org/tracker/task/7977
20:23:34BigBambiThe beast is a law unto itself
20:23:35jhMikeSI think others could too
20:23:37linuxstb12 hours isn't a very good runtime though (in the OF)...
20:23:49Nico_Pindeed
20:23:54LambdaCalculus37AceNik: That was just committed today.
20:24:09LambdaCalculus37It displays the Rockbox logo while your player is booting up.
20:24:12BigBambiAceNik: It shows the logo during the bootloader
20:24:31AceNiklambda: i know but whats the use, the rockbox logo always shows, with the build date at the bottom ?
20:24:42BigBambiAceNik: That is the build not the bootloader
20:24:49BigBambiThe bootloader comes first
20:24:55AceNikwhat logo rockbox logo right ? but that was always shown?
20:25:06Nico_Pamiconn: you could build custom versions with some features disables (I would guess DB, album art and things like that)
20:25:08jhMikeSbefore the egg or the chicken?
20:25:08linuxstbAceNik: Which player do you run Rockbox on?
20:25:23AceNiki see ill compile a new build n try it out then thanks
20:25:29AceNikH10[20GB]
20:25:44*Nico_P was thinking about possibly adding customization to tools/configure
20:25:52*BigBambi thinks forking over not using some features that others do would be a little extreme
20:25:56LambdaCalculus37Does it show an iriver logo when you start it up?
20:26:00amiconnDatabase, album art, cue sheet support, last.fm logging, horizontal list scrolling, crossfeed, crossfade, graphical eq, this weird study most, directory skipping of the currently existing features, perhaps also most wps customisation options.

20:26:29gevaertsNico_P: the problem with that is that you actually need to build all combinations for every revision
20:26:29AceNiklambda: yes it does then it proceeds to a rockbox logo
20:26:42*BigBambi doesn't use lots of those but uses a few, and thinks that you can never please everyone
20:26:43LambdaCalculus37Then the iriver logo would be the bootloader starting up.
20:26:43Nico_Pamiconn: wow, that's quite a list. presonnally, there are plenty of features I don't use but I don't mind them
20:26:55*amiconn would rather try to concentrate on bug fixing and performance optimisation, plus new ports
20:27:07Nico_Pgevaerts: hmm, I'd build the all features build by default
20:27:20amiconnNico_P: I probably even forgot a few.
20:27:25gevaertsNico_P: that will lead to ifdef errors
20:27:38*bertrik uses database and album art but could live without the rest
20:28:07*BigBambi uses album art, last.fm, scrolling, and some WPS features
20:28:20*bluebrother would like to see more bugfixing too
20:28:24*linuxstb uses none of them
20:28:26*Nico_P agrees
20:28:28amiconnBigBambi: I'm not talking about scrolling text in general, btw
20:28:43*gevaerts wonders if a more advanced plugin system would help, i.e. have wps plugins, dsp plugins, playlist control plugins,...
20:28:51*LambdaCalculus37 uses Album Art, last.fm, the database, and the EQ
20:28:53*jhMikeS is largely a "hunt and peck" listener
20:29:00*bertrik was thinking the same as gevaerts
20:29:04BigBambiamiconn: I suspect I have misunderstood - which scrolling do you mean?
20:29:06domonokybluebrother: can you reproduce FS #8948 on Linux ?? for me it works fine (on windows) ..
20:29:07Nico_Pamiconn: like it or not, the userbase (and some devs too) likes eyecandy and fancy features
20:29:28*markun uses crossfeed and replaygain
20:29:33amiconnBigBambi: The one that allows you to scroll the whole list left or right manually
20:29:40BigBambiI like being able to show Rockbox to people and not have the immediate reaction "That looks shit"
20:29:40bluebrotherdomonoky: haven't tried −− will do later.
20:29:41AceNikguys will the committed patch 7797 conflict with this http://www.rockbox.org/tracker/7538
20:29:43*jhMikeS likes nice eye candy and ear candy
20:29:46BigBambiamiconn: ah, I do use that :)
20:30:04scorche|shamiconn: i dont use any of those features either, but i cant see that rockbox should take those out
20:30:17BigBambiI have some badly named songs that would take forever to scroll otherwise
20:30:25amiconnscorche|sh: Well that's why I'm thinking about a fork
20:30:43*jhMikeS doesn't use voice either, finds it a development pita but doesn't think that should go
20:30:48LambdaCalculus37AceNik: FS #7538 hasn't been updated since January.
20:30:48BigBambiThat would be unfortunate
20:31:19markunamiconn: do you think it would be an option to add some ifdefs to leave out some features in a custom build instead of forking?
20:31:34markunor does a fork have other advantages?
20:31:50AceNiklambda: its working fine with the current svn revisions, i would actually likt this path t be committed btu it seems its not writtent he proper way
20:31:59amiconnWhile I can see that some of these features seem to be wanted by a number of people, I dislike them, and their gradual accumulation often eats my motivation to do some rockbox coding
20:32:23LambdaCalculus37AceNik: I don't think that patch will be accepted. It would also cause support nightmares.

20:32:56LambdaCalculus37Because then people will come screaming that something is broken because of it, but we'll never be able to pinpoint what broke what or who broke what.
20:33:07markunNico_P: me too
20:33:12AceNiklambda: yes i know that, i jus wanted to know whether the patch would conflict with current svn ill try it out
20:33:25*Buschel also likes eye candy (if it doesn't affect battery life ;)
20:33:30amiconnmarkun: A fork would have the substantial advantage that I wouldn't have to care about those features (not breaking them etc)
20:33:34linuxstbAceNik: That patch has been formally rejected... (7538)

20:34:09 Quit AndyI ()
20:34:11Nico_Pamiconn: I think a fork would be really bad for the project as a whole (and honestly, not very popular either)
20:34:36toffe82markun: Nico_P : so the current build would be a full feature and if you want a custom you have to build it yourself ?
20:34:59*jhMikeS thinks breaking up the rockbox DAP monopoly is long overdue :p
20:35:02Nico_Ptoffe82: I guess. I haven't thought about it much
20:35:09amiconnNico_P: That might be the case, but it might not be avoidable
20:35:15gevaertsI think this should be talked about at devcon
20:35:19Nico_Pamiconn: I'm sure it's avoidable
20:35:28*LambdaCalculus37 agrees with Nico_P's idea of adding customization to tools/configure
20:35:39*BigBambi thinks it would be a bit of a disaster
20:35:41Nico_Pamiconn: but I guess you know that better than me
20:35:44bertrikbut wouldn't that bring even more #ifdef madness?
20:35:46AceNiklinuxstb: you told me to et familiar with the rockbox svn i want to start with custmising the interface for rockbox, firstly by extending th customising of the main menu with themes
20:35:51markunI'd rather have amiconn start a fork than to stop working on rockbox
20:36:08Nico_Pbertrik: I like a few more #ifdef more than a fork
20:36:51amiconnBtw, the statement that made me think about a fork was kugel's mention of font anti-aliasing (imho the most useless thing on a dap or other embedded device)
20:37:10*BigBambi blaims kugel for discord in the ranks
20:37:20 Quit Hillshum ("ChatZilla 0.9.81 [Firefox 2.0.0.14/2008040413]")
20:37:41bluebrotherI was quite ... surprised by that "soon" too.
20:37:43kugelI don't understand
20:37:46*markun likes anti-aliasing, also on a DAP
20:38:03*jhMikeS too (did /me mention that?) :)
20:38:08markun;)
20:38:24amiconnI'm even disabling normal anti-aliasing on windows. It only makes the text blurry and harder to read. The only anti-aliasing I do use is the lcd sub-pixel rendering (on *fast* PCs)
20:38:27jhMikeSI suppose it helps the bigger screens more than the small ones
20:38:43*linuxstb would also quite like a far simpler Rockbox, but accepts Rockbox will always grow in size...
20:39:00kugelamiconn: What did you mean?
20:39:08Nico_Pamiconn: what I don't really understand is how features you don't use can become a problem if they don't negatively interfere with regular use (binsize isn't a strong argument in my eyes)
20:39:29linuxstbNico_P: Code complication and bloat...
20:39:30jhMikeSI'm sure tighter UI code and such would take quite a chunk out. Things like lists seem more complicated that they have to be.
20:39:43*Nico_P agreees with jhMikeS
20:39:44BigBambiThere are plenty of features I don't use, but I don't see how I can say they are less important than others, when other people think different things
20:39:53pixelmaseeing what full blown pc graphic programs do when it comes to antialiasing of small fonts, leads me to thinking it's useless on a DAP
20:40:50*kugel remains confused
20:40:51bluebrotherkugel: don't you think it somewhat to early talking about "committing soon" if you tell the same time that there are issues?
20:41:15bluebrotheralso, quite some people (including me) consider such a feature useless and bloat.
20:41:15amiconnNico_P: They negatively interfere with coding.
20:41:19BigBambikugel: You should check out the whole discussion in the logs
20:41:35jhMikeSI did write a whole custom control for a windows program and it's 5k lines but it also does quite a bit of fancy stuff so 5k lines isn't so much.
20:41:47kugelbluebrother: No? Not if I said "it can hopefilly committed soon", which just expresses my wish
20:42:32jhMikeSI don't know how many lines of list code exist but it's sort of in that category
20:42:33kugelBigBambi: where to start? I was quite a long time absent from this channel
20:42:46bluebrotherwell, I don't think it's a good idea expressing a whish like that, especially given that's a controversial feature.

20:43:27BigBambibluebrother: Thought control? :P
20:43:32Shofthe only features that i dont use on my rockbox that much is the most of all the games and demos. It will be nice if there was a a sperate release for that since it can make the size of the rockbox download smaller and use like 1-2mb less

20:45:33linuxstbpreglow: Stop coding features you don't use then ;)
20:45:33Nico_Pthat's where feature customizations comes in
20:45:42BigBambiI think everyone would like that
20:45:59BigBambi(tighter Rockbox that is)
20:46:09BigBambiBut everyone uses different features
20:46:12*linuxstb thinks feature customisation would just make things more complex...
20:46:16preglowlinuxstb: what, you mean like my piece of art eq? and deprive people of valuable features???
20:46:16*gevaerts thinks that feature customizations need a lot of code reorganisation first. #ifdefs scattered around the code are not good
20:46:34jhMikeSwhat about having a master config (more master than config.h) that specifically disables certain parts?
20:46:37preglowifdeffing out features is out of the questin, if you ask me
20:46:46preglowthat'll just make it harder for devs to make sure they don't break things
20:47:07preglowamiconn: i think "study mode" should be renamed, if nothing else, but i also don't see the use of it
20:47:10amiconnSeeing that I'm obviously a minority and cannot dictate rockbox development, I have 4 options. (a) download some svn from end-2007, apply fixes for known bugs, build that as "rockbox 2.9" and install it on the daps I want to keep for real use. Sell the others. (b) fork rockbox as mentioned, and work on stuff I want to. (c) keep my coding to a bare minimum (fixing stuff I wrote). (d) somehow arrange with the ton of features, and continue as before
20:47:29amiconnSomehow (c) and especially (d) don't sound very tempting....
20:47:39amiconnAnd I agree, more ifdefing is not an option
20:48:09linuxstbamiconn: Is it just apps/ code you don't like, or things in firmware/ too?
20:48:42*jhMikeS is quite sure he hates the kernel with a passion :)
20:48:56Nico_Pamiconn: what would you code if there are no new features you want to add? how would you exploit new powerful targets? in short: where would the fun be?
20:48:59amiconnVery few things in firmware too
20:49:20Nico_Pthere are very few things you like?
20:49:28preglowjhMikeS: fs #8918 status?
20:50:10*amiconn isn't tempted by any of the new targets
20:50:23pixelmaNico_P: adding new features isn't fun when the already existing code doesn't work nicely (enough). For a user too... (thinking of the resume last 2 seconds problem etc.)
20:50:55kugelMeh, /me starts getting it
20:51:00BigBambiThat is very personal
20:51:01Nico_Ppixelma: the resume last 2 seconds bug isn't fixed?
20:51:03amiconnThey have useless large screens, nasty touch controls, and the DAC of every new dap generation seems to sound worse than the previous ones...
20:51:29jhMikeSNico_P: I don't even mention playback bugs anymore. I can always make it do something weird. :\
20:51:33bluebrotherhmm, why is this strange "study" feature called "tracklock" in the tracker task but not anymore?
20:51:54BigBambiI don't see how it relates to studying in the slightest
20:52:00pixelmaNico_P: nope
20:52:02*linuxstb didn't notice a "study" feature and goes to check the logs...
20:52:14amiconnI'd want a large screen if I'd want a video player (as its *main* purpose, aka PMP) - but that's something I don't need at all
20:52:21jhMikeSstudying a small section of audio?
20:52:26bluebrotherBigBambi: me neither.
20:52:27Nico_PjhMikeS: depends if it's a new different weird thing each time
20:52:36Nico_Ppixelma: damn, I really thought it was
20:52:37*kugel was suprised when that study mode was comitted, that it was comitted
20:52:38preglowlinuxstb: the confusingly named and also useless feature called "study mode"
20:52:59Shofi noticed that feature and im still looking up what it does
20:53:07jhMikeSNico_P: no, just metadata out of sync. wrong play order, weird repetitions of songs, certain cases don't unmute audio hardware, etc.
20:53:11*BigBambi neither understands the name, nor sees the use in the feature
20:53:21bluebrotherShof: search the tracker for "tracklock" (make sure to search closed tasks too)
20:53:24preglowas far as i can see, it just makes rev/ffwd skip around in a track instead of skipping tracks
20:53:32preglowthis to avoid accidentally avoid skipping a long track
20:53:32kugelit basically locks trackskipping in favor of jumping a set time into the track
20:53:40jhMikeSit's especially vulnerable if you induce race conditions by banging the controls rapidly
20:53:47preglowbut if you don't want to accidentally control you dap, why don't use the hold switch?
20:53:48bluebrothermaybe we should implement some kind of voting process before new features get in?
20:53:59preglowbluebrother: or the rockbox steering committe
20:54:09markunpreglow: I vote for that
20:54:16preglowme too
20:54:19bluebrotherpreglow: good point. I think we really need such a thing

20:54:29preglowwell, i've always thought so
20:54:32mooswas the study mode debated here?

20:54:36preglowand i'm glad to see some thought going into it
20:54:38amiconnpreglow: Not all targets have a hold switch... but all targets have a hold feature at least in the wps
20:54:50*scorche|sh wonders why LambdaCalculus37 is voting when he hasnt heard the proposal ;)
20:54:51bluebrotherwe could make it a two steps process: let devs vote and the committe decide.

20:57:07scorche|sherrr...study mode
20:57:12BigBambiLambdaCalculus37: Rest assured, it does sweet FA related to studying
20:57:33LambdaCalculus37BigBambi: That's what my textbooks are for. :)
20:57:42preglowamiconn: yeah, i noticed it added a big amount of code for what it did
20:58:05linuxstbReading the FS task - http://www.rockbox.org/tracker/task/6188 - LinusN said he thought it "looks useful".
20:58:20markunI think complexity can also be reduced in some cases without reducing the code (like the target tree)
20:58:23linuxstbAnd Llorean seems to blame for calling it study mode - he referred to it being similar to an iriver feature.
20:58:23LambdaCalculus37I figure if people want a study mode, we can tell them to set repeat mode to A>B and let them go from there.
20:58:49Nico_Ppixelma: I just tested with r17143 on my ipod. I know it's not the latest but I don't think there were any major changes since then. I'll test with a more recent version later

21:01:51amiconnNico_P: Just play an arbitrary folder, starting on any file *except the last one* (second-last is easiest for reproducing the bug). Stop playback after some time, then resume and let it play to the end
21:02:48amiconnYou won't observe the bug if you play a folder from start to end without intermediate stop/resume cycle(s), and you also won't observe it when starting on the last file
21:03:42Nico_PI need to stop at some point in the last track... let it play to the end and then resume?

21:04:00Nico_Pthat's not what I remembered, so I guess it's why I thought it was fixed
21:04:19amiconnNo, you need to stop at some point in the second-last (or earlier) track
21:04:29Nico_Phence the point of using the tracker
21:04:39amiconnI get this all the time the way I'm listening normally
21:04:41Nico_Poh, then I think I was doing it right
21:05:59amiconnThis explains why the 3-second resume only "works" once. It resumes into the last track, and hence it won't happen a second time. But even then the 'End of playlist' splash+announcement doesn't work iirc
21:06:06 Quit AceNik ("Trillian (http://www.ceruleanstudios.com")
21:06:52Nico_PI don't see what the "end of playlist" splash is. I only get "nothing to resume"
21:07:32amiconnThat slpash is supposed to appear when playback ends at the end of playlist

21:10:05*Llorean doesn't think he should be blamed for the "study mode" name, he didn't come up with it but rather just knew iriver called it that.
21:10:14roolkuthe problem with the study mode is the small range (250s) and the tiny increments (1s) which make it useless for my purpose (skipping in audiobooks); even the original iriver version was better

21:12:11LloreanBeing able to do coarse skipping within a large file is useful with audiobooks (for example 10 or 15 minute increments in a 8-hour long program) and can get you to a specific range much faster than seeking if you want to keep acceleration low for fine seeking later.
21:12:20 Join Seed [0] (n=ben@bzq-84-108-237-178.cablep.bezeqint.net)
21:12:42LloreanBut I don't think it's worth it if it's bad in terms of complexity (I have not looked at all at what the patch added)
21:12:46Nico_Pamiconn: what's with that line?
21:12:53*amiconn would just do a coarse seek followed by a second, fine seek afterwards
21:13:07amiconnNico_P: That's the line that shows mentioned splash - if it works
21:13:36Nico_Pamiconn: I don't see a splash call there
21:13:56amiconngui_syncsplash(HZ, ID2P(LANG_END_PLAYLIST));
21:14:12amiconnThat splash is also voiced
21:14:51Lloreanamiconn: Which involves either waiting a large amount of time for acceleration to kick in, having high acceleration making finer seeking more imprecise, or changing the values between the two.
21:15:07Nico_Pamiconn: that's on line 326 here
21:15:26roolkuamiconn: I tried, but it is a lot faster with several 10min skips than seeking, especially if you need to recognise the place you want to seek to acustically

21:19:01roolkuamiconn: for music, there is almost no interference because very few tracks are longer than 10min
21:19:06linuxstbamiconn: Do you mean individual emails, or emails sent to the rockbox-sf mailing list?
21:19:26Lloreanroolku: It needs to be able to be disabled. I have several audiobooks that are 1.5 hours files, and I want to skip to say the 5th one.
21:19:26amiconnlinuxstb: Individual mails. I'm not subscribed to rockbox-sf
21:19:38*preglow thinks all devs should be subscribed to the latter
21:19:53Nico_PI find it to have to much traffic
21:19:56amiconnroolku: Add a disable to it, and it should be fine.
21:20:00jhMikeSpreglow: The particular use of the mutex and volatile puzzles me so I really need to apply it and check
21:20:10LloreanI use the Flyspray RSS for new tasks, and the individual mails for watched tasks, and it works great for me.

21:21:51DerPapstfun roloing rockbox.gigabeat (s) gave another panic :-)
21:22:01*linuxstb wonders if the cuesheet feature could be (ab)used for study mode - e.g. something like "auto-cue" which generates fake cue points
21:22:05 Join merbanan [0] (n=banan@83.233.242.11)
21:22:08Lloreanamiconn: If I recall my past experience, flyspray just refused to send emails to one of my email addresses entirely, but then I switched it to another one and it worked great. It's a big buggy in that area, I guess?
21:22:21amiconnLooks like it then
21:22:22Lloreanlinuxstb: That sounds like a good idea actually.
21:22:23n1spreglow, et all: I think the major point of the study mode for sdoyon was to be able to seek but not accidentially skip, I have no oppinion about the complexity though
21:23:04n1sand therefore using the hold switch would not help, but rather disabling track skipping would be almost there
21:23:16Lloreann1s: I think that's not a strong reason for it, though. If it were a method of preventing accidental skipping, one could just have an on/off for next track entirely, so that only seeking could be performed.
21:23:23roolkulinuxstb: I thought about it, but it is slightly less flexible, as it is not relative to the position (could be an advantage for other use cases though)
21:23:37Lloreann1s: Coarse seeking should be treated as "coarse seeking" rather than "a solution to fumbling fingers"
21:23:42preglown1s: i think the functionality should be reduced to some kind of "skip button behaviour" with options "skip track, skip 5 secs, skip 10 secs, skip 30 secs, skip 1 min, skip 5 mins, skip 10 mins"
21:23:42saratogai think study mode should never have been added
21:23:57saratogahonestly i think we have too many playback features given the trouble in getting playback working well
21:24:01Lloreanpreglow: I'd say 1, 5, 10, 15, and 30 minutes personally.

21:28:50linuxstbcrossfade has nothing to do with gapless IMO
21:28:53n1sand I agree with preglow about that the steering committee (if one would be created) should decide on features that there are no consensus about
21:28:55Lloreansaratoga: There are a lot of people *really* attached to crossfade.
21:28:56*jhMikeS gets out the axe with "crossfade" stamped into it
21:29:09LloreanWhile I'd like to see the feature axed, you'd alienate a pretty hefty chunk of users.
21:29:09saratogaisn't it mostly just to cover up gaps?
21:29:13amiconneeek
21:29:25amiconnJust got a hard freeze on H180
21:29:35Lloreansaratoga: No. It also appeals to some unfathomable group of people who think music should fade into and out of each other
21:29:50saratogai mean if the album is gapless, I don't see the use, its not like i've ever thought "i'd like to hear two songs at once and break gapless while doing it"
21:29:50roolkusaratoga: it is nice for pleasant sounding skipping and random play
21:30:10Lloreansaratoga: People use it on shuffle, I guess.
21:30:13amiconnUrgh, and that freeze is even reproducable...
21:30:22jhMikeSLlorean: well, let us consider eliminating that user base ;)
21:30:24LloreanMight I recommend that all people with comments on the steering committee, who are committers, respond to the email?
21:30:36roolkusaratoga: I rarely listen to an album in order
21:30:50LloreanjhMikeS: Hey, if you'd get those people out of my hair, I'd be happy. :)
21:31:14saratogamaybe we could fork the project and give them the version with crossfade
21:31:35saratogaor at least I wouldn't mind cutting features like that in the near term until playback was completely stable, even if they're eventually readmitted
21:31:36LloreanIt'll show up in an unsupported build anyway.
21:31:58n1sIMHO we should think more before committing new features because it is a lot easier to never have a feature than to have it for a while and then remove it...

21:34:11roolkuyes, lets cut gapless playback ;p
21:34:19amiconnI don't remember which one did what. One used to freeze the peakmeters when pausing, the other let it fall down to zero
21:34:25webguest42is a rockbox program that works on the new nanos?

21:37:07linuxstbshotofadds: Any interesting D2 developments?

21:37:36shotofaddsnah, I've been catching some rays. very rare around here :)
21:37:53saratogathe current system seems completely inaccessible to all but a few developers, and progress on fixing it has been gradual
21:38:09linuxstbThat sums up most of Rockbox...
21:38:13preglowi don't think the playback system will ever be fully manageable by all devs
21:38:14saratogaand many of the fixes seem to create new problems
21:38:28preglowit is to some degree complex because it needs to be
21:38:44saratogawell how complex does it need to be?
21:38:50jhMikeSplayback really needs to be "designed" and not "evolved"
21:38:59preglowjhMikeS: yeah, it is very evolved...
21:39:10linuxstbA job for devcon?
21:39:11preglowpreferrably intelligent design!
21:39:14amiconnRobust2: Problem is that I don't really understand why that happens. I have an M3 and an X5, each with a remote (they're interchangeable). I have no problems on both, with either remote. In fact I already slowed down the code somewhat from the point where it was getting unstable during development
21:39:17preglowa job for jhMikeS :>
21:39:25*shotofadds wonders when the sort order changed on the build and delta tables. confusing or what?
21:39:42linuxstbpreglow: We're in danger of wearing him out...
21:39:42Robust2amiconn, so there's nothing I could try myself ?
21:39:52jhMikeSpreglow: I don't think it needs to be nearly that complex (as in many distictions without a difference code paths).
21:40:04saratogai'd love to a breakdown of how much playback code actually is actually spent on what feature
21:40:13saratogado we spend a lot of crossfade? How about gapless?
21:40:15n1sNico_P: I think we should avoid risky changes to playback (maybe until DCE) and try to put out the infamous Release (tm) first.
21:40:41preglowi think crossfade does require quite some code here and there
21:40:44amiconnSo obviously some M3's, X5's etc can't go as fast as mine. Since I can't test, the only thing I can do is offering a bunch of test builds, which slow down one or another step of the data transfer, and hope that one of them fixes the problem
21:40:46preglownot to mention the enormous buffers it has
21:40:51jhMikeScrossfade is just an awful memory hog since it must store enough PCM for the entire fade duration.
21:41:12linuxstbDo you know how much RAM it uses?
21:41:22Robust2amiconn, anything is good, as i have no other option (original fw doesn't work anymore)
21:41:22amiconnUnfortunately I'm currently working on another problem atm. I didn't forget about that speed problem though
21:41:26Lloreanamiconn: iRivers are also shwowing a similar problem (if it's the remote LCD going blank)
21:41:43Robust2yes that's it Llorean
21:41:51jhMikeScode RAM? no. audiobuffer, just calculate it based on n seconds of 16-bit pcm.
21:42:04amiconnLlorean: I know. Btw, that's the task that doesn't want to notice me even though I enabled notification :/
21:42:12linuxstbjhMikeS: So the RAM is allocated based on the crossfade settings?
21:42:14Lloreann1s: I'd rather the release have a vastly reduced featureset and *work* than be somewhat buggy as we try to slap patches on the existing features to get it out the door.
21:42:14saratogabut thats only used if its enabled right? if i disable crossfade i get that ram back
21:42:27linuxstbjhMikeS: I mean dynamically?
21:42:36jhMikeSlinuxstb: yes, with a minimum of 3s of pcm buffer
21:42:42Lloreanamiconn: Okay, just making sure. I wasn't 100% sure if it was in flyspray yet, I have a hard time keeping straight all the sources of user feedback. =/
21:43:00saratogajhMikeS: the memory cost is small if I keep that feature disabled right?
21:43:24Robust2amiconn: does this mean you'll look at this after you finished the other problem ?
21:43:33amiconnRobust2: I need to...
21:43:33 Quit roolku ()
21:43:41jhMikeSsaratoga: then there's no cost over normal playback buffer-ahead
21:43:59saratogaaside from the (tiny?) binsize increase?
21:44:02Robust2amiconn: okay well, i'd be glad to help you testing it once you get there
21:44:37amiconnBut I can't say how long that other problem (dropouts on disk spinup on ipod mini) will keep me busy, especially as not being able to understand the scheduler isn't going to help :(
21:44:55n1sLlorean: my point is that playback seems to work pretty well now and risky changes, risk breaking it.
21:45:00jhMikeSsaratoga: 529200 bytes of PCM buffer with no crossfade
21:45:11preglowtoo much for my liking :/
21:45:23linuxstbCan it be disabled completely with a #define?

21:46:54jhMikeSpreglow: I never tried. mpegplayer can get along with a fraction of a second sized buffer though. I expect playback needs more because of varying loads and you don't want to kick in priority too aggressively.
21:46:56amiconn(especially as I intend to "bend" the gpl a bit, but not publishing the source code changes for the various builds before the test, or at least not making obvious which test build contains which change)

21:49:11saratogaamiconn: you have to provide the source, but you can wait a while
21:49:25Lloreanamiconn: Under the GPL, you just have to give notice that you will provide the source if requested, anyway.
21:49:27saratogai believe you're actually allowed to mail source code, so a few days delay seems reasonable as long as its released eventually
21:49:58*jhMikeS wonders if who the GPL-enforcement team is...and if they come bust a cap in you
21:50:05DerPapsti do't think we need to be that exact with GPL in this case.
21:50:15LloreanHonestly, *we're* the GPL enforcement team for Rockbox violations. It's "our" copyright.

22:27:54Nico_Pit's a more lowlevel limitation (pcm code)

22:35:51Nico_Papart from that there's the wiki page, but it's a bit outdated. hopefully the code has quite some comments, and you can ask any questions you want

22:37:27webguest67But why start at 3? And what do these settings do?
22:38:31markunwebguest67: it's for smooth seek acceleration, and these values were determined by experimenting

22:48:25saratogai've got a WMA file it fixes
22:48:45saratogasince WMA files have fixed length packets, you can skip past any broken packet and find good ones later
22:48:59bertrikah ok, so without the advance buffer calls it will keep on failing on the same packet?

22:49:55saratogai just haven't given the idea much thought lately
22:50:27markunok, thanks. Did you look at the difference in output with and without my change?
22:50:29saratogai've been meaning to look over IRAM use in the WMA codec and try to get the output buffer into IRAM
22:50:36saratogamarkun: yes about a year ago
22:50:43Nico_Pmcuelenaere: here?
22:50:47markunwas it big?
22:50:53saratogait reduced the SNR on my test sample by about 40dB
22:51:05markunwow
22:51:12saratogai think the RMS error verses the MS decoder was something like -60dB
22:51:23saratogawhich is tolerable but not ideal
22:51:52mcuelenaereNico_P: yes
22:52:00saratogathe problem is that WMA nees a 32kb output buffer
22:52:13Robust2amiconn, i've been tetsing it ignoring the display problem, but it freezes and locks up all the time now
22:52:18saratogawhich makes it difficult to put it all into IRAM on 48k only targets
22:52:21Nico_Pmcuelenaere: about the libnjb guy you couldn't get a hold of: what's his name? also, did you try their ML?
22:52:29markunpixelma: anyway: http://130.89.160.166/rockbox/logseek.patch
22:52:41mcuelenaereNico_P: quetzalcoatl. Do they have a ML?
22:52:47mcuelenaereah sorry, I meant nomadness.net
22:52:51saratogabut its tempting to keep your optmization and as well as shrink the window coefficients to 16 bits, and then try to fit in the output buffer in IRAM
22:52:52Nico_Pmcuelenaere: also, they are mostly the same guys as libmtp.
22:53:10mcuelenaereyes, but the guy I need to contact is/was at nomadness.net
22:53:28Nico_Phttp://libnjb.sourceforge.net/?section=support
22:53:32mcuelenaereI just referred to that one from libnjb because he had contact with quetzalcoatl
22:53:56mcuelenaerebut I mailed to him and he said he doesn't know him besides on the (ex-)forums
22:54:01Nico_Pah, alright. I misunderstood then
22:54:03saratogai guess it depends on what accuracy we really want from our lossy codecs
22:54:22Robust2anybody know if replacing a player's HD with a CompactFlash adapter can cause problems with rockbox ?
22:54:31Robust2it does with the OF
22:54:33linuxstbsaratoga: I think the general approach is to favour accuracy over speed.
22:54:57linuxstb(as far as is reasonable...)
22:55:24saratogawell whats a good target to aim for?
22:55:51Nico_Pamiconn, pixelma: I'm not able to repro the "last few seconds of last tracks" bugs
22:55:54mcuelenaereit seems even google cache removed the last remains of nomadness.net :(
22:56:06Nico_PI'll look into fixing the splash though
22:56:14saratogathe RMS error in most lossy codecs verses lossless is something like 30 dB, and none of our DACs do much above 80dB, so thats a wide range of possible values
22:57:19pixelmaNico_P: I couldn't either but I'm sure I saw it a few times during the weekend (normal use), running some late 172xx build (after austriancoder's changes). I'd like to be able to reproduce myself... :\

23:58:03Nico_Pamiconn: the WPS asks the playlist code for the value instead of using something that's in the struct mp3entry.

23:58:50Nico_Pstroring the value in the mp3entry and making the wps access that was one of my leads, but it caused some problems with repeat and such
