#rockbox log for 2008-07-14

00:00:08LinuxMafiaany one has any idea?
00:00:30LambdaCalculus37I ran rockboxdev.sh on my PowerBook to get a build environment set up, and by instinct select 'all' to set up all of the needed compilers.
00:01:02scorcheLinuxMafia: which ipod nano version is it?
00:01:23LambdaCalculus37I know that MIPS was added recently to support the Onda players and required environment, but it seems that some little bits of needed information are still not in rockboxdev.sh regarding PATH setup.
00:01:30LinuxMafiascorche, to be honest with you i dont know
00:01:42LambdaCalculus37So what's the path to the MIPS compiler so I can add it into my $PATH?
00:01:52scorcheLinuxMafia: could you find an image for us on google image search of what your ipod nano looks like?
00:02:02scorchethere are different versions of those devices
00:02:13BagderLambdaCalculus37: the MIPS one is not yet included in the all build
00:02:14LambdaCalculus37LinuxMafia: Three versions, as a matter of fact.
00:02:23d1sturbIs it possible to add a visualizer to the WPS [i.e. G-Force] ?
00:02:37LinuxMafiasure just a sec
00:03:30safetydand1sturb: no
00:03:39LambdaCalculus37Bagder: Ahh, got it. But there's a small problem... I just tried compiling a Gigabeat S build, and got this: http://pastebin.com/m247bb1cc
00:03:45LambdaCalculus37Any ideas?

00:03:54d1sturbsafetydan• k, thanks
00:04:02LinuxMafiabut it is silver
00:04:15d1sturbthat's gen 2
00:04:21LambdaCalculus37LinuxMafia: 2nd gen nano... won't work.
00:04:39BagderLambdaCalculus37: hm, I think that's some missing stuff on your computer or similar
00:04:43 Quit d1sturb ("—I-n-v-i-s-i-o-n— 2.0 Build 3515")
00:04:43LinuxMafiabut any one knows why when i connect it to pc nothing comes up?
00:05:10LinuxMafiais there any setting i have to change in it?
00:05:12scorcheLinuxMafia: this is #rockbox...where we talking about (surprisingly) rockbox related items...your query doesnt really have anything to do with rockbox
00:05:27scorches/talking/talk
00:05:29LinuxMafiascorche, where can i ask?
00:05:35scorchei dont know, but not here
00:05:56LinuxMafiathanks
00:06:01LinuxMafiai try google
00:06:35LambdaCalculus37Bagder: Well, according to the previous owner, there already was an install version of gcc on this Mac, but I think it's older than required.
00:08:42*LambdaCalculus37 checks to see if he does indeed have all of the Xcode tools, since gcc is included

00:12:31MarcGuayLlorean: In a way, having "Draft version" writted all over the manual implies that there's a completed version somewhere, which is just another form of confusion.
00:13:03LloreanMarcGuay: Which will change in 1.5 months.
00:13:16LloreanIdeally we'll have a 3.0 manual to go with the 3.0 release.
00:13:51MarcGuayLlorean: Truth.
00:14:05LloreanTo me, the idea behind the "draft version" on every page is that people realize it won't always be exactly up to date with the builds. If we had more consistency in updating keymapping changes, new menus, etc. I'd be more in favour of reducing it somewhat
00:14:16LloreanAs it stands, I wouldn't mind if it were red and blinking in the HTML version.
00:14:52preglowdraft watermark should definitely stay
00:15:01MarcGuayLlorean: I guess it lowers expectations a little, which is nice. It's just ugly and a little bit of a beat-you-over-the-head-with-it.
00:15:01preglowit'll make more sense once we start releasing
00:15:23LloreanMarcGuay: "beat you over the head" is kinda the only way to get the message across, I suspect. :)
00:15:39LloreanBut yeah, I'm *really* hoping we'll have a decent enough 3.0 manual that the daily ones really are drafts
00:16:39preglowmuch in the way of that?
00:16:39MarcGuayLlorean: I think it's pretty close to golden. We just need to make some decisions regarding what's wiki material and what's manual material, then push those pieces into place. And add the minute details which are missing...
00:17:07 Join shot0fadds [0] (n=rob@rockbox/developer/shotofadds)
00:17:30LloreanMarcGuay: That's pretty much how I feel, but I don't want to state personal opinions on completeness just yet. I *intend* to eventually sit down and read through one complete manual for one of the players I know well.
00:17:48Lloreanpreglow: Huh?
00:17:56MarcGuayLlorean: I was about to say it would be nice if someone gave the whole thing a proper proof-read before signing off on it.
00:18:26LloreanMarcGuay: Well, if I end up RM I'll *have* to, if I avoid that dubious honor, I'll put it on the list of things an RM should sign off on. :)
00:18:36MarcGuayI don't think it will ever be perfect, the software is just too complex, but we can at least make sure that everything is covered and it reads well.

00:31:02amiconnLlorean: Manual proof-reading needs to be done for all targets before release, preferably by someone who has the target(s) to compare the manual with reality
00:31:15preglowamiconn: i'd just read the source code
00:31:22 Join BHSPitLappy [0] (n=BHSPitLa@unaffiliated/bhspitmonkey)
00:31:26preglowbut yeah, same result of course
00:32:49Lloreanamiconn: Frankly, we have to accept that may not happen. Signing off on the overall readiness (in terms of understandability, etc) of the "Apps" layer manual bits can be done with almost any manual, with "individual target owners signing off on target-specific manuals" being a wish-list kinda thing
00:32:52amiconnOf course you can read the source for comparison. But it's more difficult, and easier to overlook details if you're not familiar with the real thing. That's why I seaid 'preferably'
00:35:23andrewbeveridgehello again :)
00:35:28andrewbeveridgeI have found the cause of the problem, of sorts... I tried the same track, converted to different formats using MediaMonkey (my favourite audio organiser), to find that all of the converted files worked flawlessly! The original file, which causes faulty playback on rockbox, was converted using the "Windows Audio Converter" software which comes with Windows XP Media Center edition...
00:35:35andrewbeveridgeI always knew the software was trash, as it incorrectly merges ID3v1 and 2 tags for *interesting* results. But something about WMA files produced by that software seemingly clashes with Rockbox. Sadly, every one of the several thousand WMAs in my collection was converted using this software, so I am still eager to figure out why rockbox doesnt like them. I mean, they play fine on the PC...
00:35:40andrewbeveridgeHere is a link to the location of the faulty file and a working file, same format, but converted with different software, and also a sound recording of what playback of the faulty file sounds like when coming through speakers attached to my "rockpod". :)

00:41:39preglowandrewbeveridge: mok, thanks for the file, i'll relay it on the the wma guy if i don't have a look myself first
00:41:57 Part DanHibiki
00:42:43Lloreanpixelma: I would very, very much appreciate it if once you go through and remove anything you think might be fixed, you just made an "Ondio" header on the ManualTodo page and pasted it in there however you see fit.
00:43:34preglowandrewbeveridge: bad news, i tried the faulty file in vlc, and that also plays it wrong
00:43:49andrewbeveridgevlc plays all my wma files wrong :(
00:43:56Learandrewbeveridge: Sounds strange. I'd suspect the decoder isn't quite up to spec.
00:44:00preglowandrewbeveridge: that means the only open source wma codec can't play it correctly, and our wma decoder is based on that
00:44:10andrewbeveridgewmp, mediamonkey, winamp, amarok, all play them fine
00:44:24andrewbeveridgeah
00:44:26andrewbeveridgeright
00:44:28preglowandrewbeveridge: i suspect all of those use the windows decoder
00:44:28pixelmaLlorean: yep, wouldn't even be too hard once I go through the facts
00:44:42Learpreglow: Even amarok?
00:44:50andrewbeveridgesurely amarok uses the open source wma decoder too?
00:44:52preglowLear: right, i don't know about that at all
00:45:03preglowwell, if you find out about that, that'd be very interesting
00:45:11preglowi'll check out a new ffmpeg tree and try that out
00:45:21andrewbeveridgein fact i'm quite sure kaffeine plays them too
00:45:25andrewbeveridgeso xine must

00:48:52LloreanSo does Rockbox itself.
00:48:58LloreanThat's not a video-player specific problem.
00:49:25xxbatman94xxwell i kno..but i mean have they made a patch yet?
00:49:50LloreanWell, I couldn't have known because you asked about the video player, rather than the actual problem. The video player itself was fine. No, nobody has made a patch yet.

00:52:58linuxstbI've just been playing it with a recent mplayer, and it sounds OK... But mplayer is giving 3 or 4 "overflow in spectral RLE" errors near the start.
00:53:04andrewbeveridgewell, as VBR WMA goes, no. I find a VBR 60-80 kbps MA file sounds exactly the same as a 128 kbps MP3
00:53:06linuxstb(and it skips a little at those points)
00:53:58Lloreanandrewbeveridge: I meant in an objective sense, not in a subjective "what you think of them" sense.

00:54:55linuxstbpreglow: So you don't get any short skips near the start?

00:55:09preglowbut the whole file sounds nasty

00:59:39preglowheh
01:00
01:00:37LloreanWow
01:00:45LloreanSeeking in that problematic file doesn't work either.
01:01:06andrewbeveridgeum i use gstreamer in amarok not xine, both play both files fine.... admittedly seeking fails.
01:01:25preglowLlorean: ffmpeg vomits warnings for that file
01:01:31preglowit sounds the same as the other one, though
01:01:49preglowi'm quite sure gstreamer does not do dll piggybacking
01:02:03pixelmaLlorean: I think a very important flaw in the Archos manuals are the outdated flashing instructions, unfortunately I don't know enough about the procedure myself...
01:02:09Lloreanpreglow: Seeking in-Rockbox works up to about halfway through the file, but any point after that seems to fail
01:02:31Lloreanpixelma: Well, they may be drastically different for 3.0 anyway since you can't run from ROM any more.
01:03:01pixelmayou still can without modifications on the Player and on the OndioSP
01:03:10LloreanTrue
01:04:01LloreanIt may be better to just drop it as "supported" for release versions now though, since it may not last terribly much longer.
01:04:19andrewbeveridgecould somebody send me a "clean" mp3 file, so i can convert it using the Windows Audio Converter software and compare the results - to make sure that software is the only problem
01:05:17pixelmaLlorean: what?
01:05:56Lloreanpixelma: There's a very good chance the bin is going to keep on growing.
01:06:03pixelmado you mean the flashing part or the Archos devices in general?
01:06:07LloreanThe flashing part.
01:06:15pixelmaah
01:06:16LloreanSpecifically the "execute from ROM" method.
01:06:24LloreanI don't know if the compressed image still fits or not
01:08:20pixelmawell, I still "flash" the rockbox.ucl on my OndioFM which gets a bigger binary than the stock ones for backlight support
01:08:40andrewbeveridgeok i guess you guys have lost interest :) just to make sure - if i find out why the track fails to play properly in VLC, i solve the problem, right?
01:10:09preglowandrewbeveridge: sure
01:10:42preglowandrewbeveridge: but if you know ffmpeg to be the backend of whatever program you use, you'd be better off testing against an svn version of that
01:10:48preglowandrewbeveridge: since that's where we'll look
01:11:37andrewbeveridgedoes vlc win32 use ffmpeg?

01:11:42preglowyes
01:11:59pixelmaLlorean: but I could live with dropping that chapter for the release, especially in this outdated state it is in
01:12:00preglowif you're into compiling your own stuff, it's no worse than just checking out the svn tree of ffmpeg and bulding the "ffmpeg" program
01:12:06andrewbeveridgeah ok thanks
01:12:14preglowffmpeg -i infile.wma outfile.wav will decode
01:12:22andrewbeveridgeyep
01:12:41pixelmaLlorean: and it is rather something for advanced users
01:12:41preglowthe ffmpeg people _might_ be interested in files that fail themselves
01:13:10preglowthat is, they're quite certainly interested, but wma is a harder codec to fix, seeing as how there's no reference implementation

01:15:42Lloreanamiconn: Good to hear.
01:15:48amiconnOndio SP is ~5KB away from breaking rombox, Player ~40KB
01:15:57andrewbeveridgepreglow: yeah, as is always the case with proprietary formats. i suppose the reason i chose wma was simple: my 1GB Creative Zen mp3 player played MP3s and WMAs, and with VBR WMA i could get twice the number of tracks ;)
01:16:42*pixelma wonders once more where [IDC]Dragon and his minimalistic bootloader went
01:16:48amiconnFlashing instructions itself aren't that difficult, writing them down in proper english is...
01:17:43amiconnWe should also make a fresh set of flash images for the release (bootbox shoul dprfit from the numerous fixes of e.g. the fat driver)
01:18:47pixelmaproblem is that the ones who could write the instructions down in proper English probably don't know them too well

01:47:47andrewbeveridgepreglow: ah ok goodnight, i'll keep trying to figure out the problem :) thanks
01:48:09pixelmaLlorean: maybe yes, but I also meant things you should know or do before running RBUtil (like the check for v1 or v2 Sansa, stuff like that). And if there wasn't a change recently I missed - before moving the manual installation out - there are some things mentioned there which apply generally (e.g. losing the DRM support if you install on an US 300)
01:48:48andrewbeveridgejust in case it makes any difference, the ffmpeg build i'm using is r13778
01:48:57pixelmaLlorean: and there are things which *IMO* should still be mentioned even though RBUtil should guide the user through that, like starting the firmware upgrade process in the OF on H300. All in all - before moving it out, it needs some work...
01:49:06Lloreanpixelma: I'd consider those "special instructions that apply to RBUtil" as well.
01:49:29LloreanAny step that's not the same for *all* players should be mentioned first in the RButil section of the manual

01:59:52saratogaandrewbeveridge: the current build
01:59:59saratogai've backported all wma updates to rockbox

02:01:31andrewbeveridgea win32 binary of ffmpeg build 13778 does perfectly

02:04:53saratogaLlorean: is that from rockbox?
02:04:57LloreanNo, ffmpeg on that wma
02:05:21saratogayou'd have to ask linuxstb, but I think that sounds ok, wma can have lots of frames in one packet i think
02:05:33LloreanWell, the "working" WMA doesn't give that message.
02:05:41LloreanWhile the "bad" one gives it many, many times
02:06:45andrewbeveridgesaratoga, out of interest, are you developing on windows or linux?
02:09:38saratogaandrewbeveridge: both
02:10:15saratogaLlorean: let me look at the ffmpeg source and see what that message refers to
02:11:09LloreanI would assume if it were "normal", it probably wouldn't say anything. Then again, who knows what they decide is worth telling the user about. :)
02:12:27saratogaLlorean: i'm not seeing that message in the ffmpeg source
02:12:32saratogais that exactly what it says?

02:14:32saratogaLlorean: do you have the ffmpeg source for that build handy? my tar is kind of old it could be newer
02:15:19Lloreansaratoga: Nah, I just tracked down the windows binary I'm about 80% sure andrewbeveridge tested with, so I could duplicate his results
02:16:07LloreanIt should just be rev 13778, from this site: http://oss.netfarm.it/mplayer-win32.php
02:16:59andrewbeveridgeLlorean: nah, i got it from here: http://arrozcru.no-ip.org/ffmpeg_builds/ but it is the same build
02:18:19andrewbeveridgeLlorean: I got the latest (13778) ffmpeg executable from here: http://www.videohelp.com/tools/ffmpeg
02:19:00saratogafrom the sound of the glitching, I'd guess that huffman decoding is failing causing the entire packet to be skipped every so often
02:19:10saratogathats why it seems to keep jumping ahead
02:20:07saratogai tried tweaking the huffman settings but it didn't seem to do anything
02:20:55andrewbeveridgebut, what difference between the two files could cause problems related to that?
02:21:46saratogai didn't look at the second file, what is it?
02:22:02Lloreansaratoga: He just reencoded the same song with a different WMA encoder
02:23:10saratogaoh i wouldn't be surprised that works
02:23:26saratogaour decoder seems quite good, this is only 1 of 2 known problem samples
02:23:44andrewbeveridgeexactly - same supposed "format" and "bitrate" settings etc - i just used better software. ironic that the "official" Microsoft software for audio conversion does a botch job of WMA files.
02:23:53saratogawell plus a third i haven't commited a fix for yet since linuxstb hasn't been around for me to ask about it
02:24:02Lloreanandrewbeveridge: I wouldn't say they do a botch job.
02:24:05LloreanSince they define the format.
02:24:45andrewbeveridgeLlorean: well, I had problems with the same software a while ago when i realised it incorrectly merges id3v1 and id3v2 tags
02:25:28Lloreanandrewbeveridge: But that's irrelevant to whether or not they do a botch job of the encoding itself. :-P

02:27:52saratogadecoding seems to fail because new blocks periodically don't pass a sanity check
02:28:11saratogathis probably means that the previous block did not decode correclty and it screwed up the position of the file pointer
02:28:24saratogaso the parser is still somewhere between blocks when the new block starts decoding

02:31:23LiF1:) thanks
02:31:48andrewbeveridgenor was I until I found rockbox - today :)
02:32:06LiF1someone gave me an ipod a year ago and i kept using my rio
02:32:27LiF1i found rockbox today and that made me a lot more interested...
02:33:29andrewbeveridgethe thought of being forced to use a database for track info, of not being able to simply copy-and-paste music in any file structure I liked, always put me off iPods of any kind...
02:34:09LiF1yea. i have a smartphone with microsd... i usually use that for music.. but the battery life sucks as a music player
02:35:38LiF1the rio i have isn't much better really... the sd card doesn't support FAT so you have to use their crummy app / proprietary cable etc to copy music onto it..
02:35:45LiF1but atleast it uses a AA battery
02:36:26LiF1my company gave me that one tho.. i don't buy things like that usually..
02:36:50LloreanGuys, this channel isn't really for discussion the shortcomings of original firmwares.
02:37:01andrewbeveridgenever heard of rio, but i tend to stick with my old creative zen because it uses AAA betteries - meaning i can use my own rechargables or buy batteries whenever, etc.
02:37:02LiF1yeah sorry. thanks for the reminder.
02:37:12andrewbeveridgeokies sorr
02:37:14andrewbeveridge*y
02:37:54LiF1can i play muci while it's connected in hard drive mode?
02:38:18LloreanLiF1: you cannot access the HD and play music at the same time.
02:39:40LiF1am I correct in understanding that the only way to switch is to physically unplug the cable?
02:39:54LloreanAt the moment, yes.
02:40:33LloreanOne key reason there's no easy way to switch between the two is that on the iPod we don't actually have USB support. You're in Apple software when you can transfer files.
02:41:24andrewbeveridgehence the slow transfer speeds?
02:41:43LiF1it's slow?
02:42:00andrewbeveridgemoreso than a normal USB2 mass storage device
02:42:06LloreanSome iPods experience slow transfer speeds in the Apple "Disk Mode" application (not the same as the normal Apple firmware disk mode)
02:42:40LiF1mine doesn't seem slow...
02:43:10andrewbeveridgeI'm just referring to my experience of file transfer from PC to iPod, I've never used disk mode as far as i know.
02:43:11Llorean*Somee*
02:43:32Lloreanandrewbeveridge: Remember, iPods use a different sort of drive than most UMS devices.
02:43:39LloreanFew use a 1.8" HD
02:43:46andrewbeveridgetrue...
02:44:02andrewbeveridgei suppose i'm used to my creative 1gb which uses flash memory

02:48:21LloreanWe've got a rather bright guy who's been doing a lot of the work on it.
02:48:39LloreanIt's actually *usable* it's just not reliable enough that it'll be usable for everyone. It's still somewhat dependent on the USB port you plug it into, and we don't like that.
02:51:36saratogaLlorean: i found that message, its a standard error that occurs if the packet length and decoded data length don't match, so its probably due to the decoder getting stuck and giving up
02:52:06Lloreansaratoga: Except the output sounds more or less like it's supposed to, whereas when Rockbox decodes it, it doesn't.
02:52:14LloreanSo ffmpeg recovers from the error better than we do?
02:52:28saratogapossibly
02:52:42saratogaor there could be serveral errors in play here and ffmpeg has less

04:22:24MarcGuayDavide-NYC: It's been pretty quiet on that front. There have been a few blind users experiencing frustration with the lack of voicing, though.
04:23:44Davide-NYCThat makes sense. There are other issues as well. User fonts are a real biggie.
04:24:11LloreanActually, right now most of the focus should (hopefully) be on bug fixes, not functionality
04:24:21LloreanSystems should not be reworked at the moment
04:25:53Davide-NYCIs there talk of a 3.0 release?!
04:25:58MarcGuayI'm looking forward to themable recording and radio screens.
04:25:59LloreanYeah
04:26:04LloreanThat's kinda the big thing that came out of DevCon...
04:26:13Davide-NYCI guess that'll be 3.1 :(
04:26:24LloreanIt'll be "whenever someone actually does it"
04:26:50wpyhLlorean: it's a 5.5g iPod Video
04:27:10Lloreanwpyh: And you enabled both the USB stack and High Speed?
04:27:16wpyhyes
04:27:26LloreanAnd what were the data rates you got, and what did you get with the OF?
04:27:54wpyhwith the OF I got around 11 MB/s IIRC
04:28:12wpyhright now I get only 4.5MB/s read, and if I unplug then plug it in again, I on'y get ~950KB/s
04:28:30Davide-NYCLlorean: is any part of the ReleaseAnnouncement30 page relevant? Last changes were made in 2006!
04:28:47LloreanDavide-NYC: No, I haven't even looked at that page
04:28:48wpyhand now I'm seeing some "reset high speed USB..." errors on dmesg
04:28:52LloreanDavide-NYC: See ReleaseTodo
04:29:04Lloreanwpyh: Then you're seeing the reset bug.
04:29:25wpyhok
04:30:07wpyhfor the slow speed after reconnecting, there's a strange phenomenon: the device is recognized as full speed at first, then upgraded to high speed
04:30:13wpyhI saw that in the dmesg
04:31:05MarcGuayhttp://www.rockbox.org/tracker/task/7541 <- Is the answer to this to remove the menu option and entry in the manual until it's actually implemented?
04:31:20LloreanMarcGuay: Yes.
04:31:26wpyhLlorean: is the bug in FS #8562?
04:31:41LloreanMarcGuay: In fact, Recording on iPods should just be disabled for release. I'm not sure about H10s
04:32:03Lloreanwpyh: You'll notice mention of device resets there, yes...
04:32:06MarcGuayLlorean: What's the problem on the ipods?
04:32:19wpyhok
04:32:24LloreanMarcGuay: Hardware initialization. After recording, you can't listen to music without rebooting.

04:32:36MarcGuayThat's no good.
04:32:43LloreanNot for a release build, no
04:35:10MarcGuayIt seems the line-in pins are known for the H10 data cable. Does anyone here have one and care to verify that the line-in through dock doesn't work?
04:35:28LloreanThere aren't many with H10s.

06:07:04MarcGuayCan you tell me what recording source the headphone jack uses? (if the ipod is 3rd gen +)
06:07:45BenniBoyauuum,.. its a nano 1st gen and i guta reload rockbox...
06:07:53BenniBoyalike install it again quickly
06:08:06GaloisI never got recording to work ... but the web site claims it works
06:08:28MarcGuayGalois: Apple or Rockbox?
06:08:35MarcGuayBenniBoya: Take your time.
06:08:51BenniBoyaso i shud reinstall rockbox?

06:09:17MarcGuayBenniBoya: If you want to. Maybe Galois can give me a hand.
06:09:33MarcGuayGalois: What model do you have and what have you tried?
06:09:37BenniBoyaok
06:09:39GaloisI use an ipod nano
06:09:52GaloisI had one theory that you need one of those recording devices that attaches to the connector
06:09:58Galoisbut I tried that and it didn't work
06:10:14MarcGuayGalois: Crap, you're right, you need a dock for the nano.
06:10:24Galoisnote: I have an fm transmitter that attaches to the connector (not the headphone jack), and that device does work in rockbox
06:10:41MarcGuayThe 3rd/4th/Color/Photo are the ones that are supposed to record through the headphone jack.
06:11:08Galoisalso note: I haven't tried recording recently. It might work now.
06:11:30BenniBoyahey, i reinstalled rockbox (like a backup of it from a while ago) and loaded my custom firmwire (just changed the boot order) and then when i opened itunes it said it cudnt sync (error -54 or 56 or something around 50) and all my music apeared as other
06:12:34LloreanBenniBoya: First: When you're connected to the computer, it's through Apple code so it has nothing to do with Rockbox
06:12:44purpleposeidonhooray! rockbox is lively!
06:12:48LloreanSecond: If you're using an old build, and a customized bootloader, it's really not something we provide support for.
06:13:13BenniBoyaok ill test a new biuld then and the default bootlaoder first
06:13:17MarcGuayLlorean: Your idea to have a place to get questions answered about specific targets is a good idea. :)

06:14:35LloreanHm
06:15:57BenniBoyaoh yea, is there any work being done for rockbox on 2nd gen nano's (ust wondering, not asking)
06:16:04LloreanNo.
06:16:09BenniBoyaok didnt think so
06:19:53MarcGuayGrr. Like the ipod 4g has Mic and Line-In input defined, but I have no idea if this is true. The best info I can find is the buyer's guide which says it has recording. Are there even docks for the 4g? I don't want to give up but I think I will.
06:20:26LloreanThere are line-in pins in the dock connector, and I'm pretty sure they're connected for the 4G at least
06:20:32LloreanPeople make custom cables for 'em, IIRC
06:20:57MarcGuaySo does that mean that the headphone jack is the Mic input?
06:21:02LloreanAnyway, "Mic" should be the headphone jack, and "Line In" is the dock input
06:21:14LloreanWhich is poor nomenclature but I don't think anyone's bothered since the feature works so poorly right now anyway
06:21:31MarcGuayMerci!

06:24:03LloreanMarcGuay: Yes
06:24:08LloreanIn my limited opinion.
06:24:16MarcGuayThe dock pins haven't changed for the ipods over generations, correct?
06:24:30LloreanThey might've from 3G to 4G
06:24:33LloreanI'm not wholly sure.

07:13:58LloreanMarcGuay: Close it. The record button is NOT reserved as a "turn on backlight" button, nor described as that anywhere, so anyone who uses it as such without thinking is just asking for trouble
07:15:33MarcGuayGrr, it wasn't documented.
07:16:18Lloreanhuh?
07:16:38MarcGuayI'm tempted to remove it altogether as it's available through the regular means of deleting an entry - through the context menu. (The manual has no reference to REC=delete)
07:17:38LloreanI actually kinda like a quick delete button for that list.
07:17:46LloreanCleaning it up is a real hassle otherwise.
07:18:00MarcGuayAgain, I don't use bookmarks. And you're right, it's pretty ingrained.
07:18:16LloreanIt takes three button presses for each entry, vs 1
07:18:31LloreanI probably clear out my recent bookmarks list once a week, and I've missed the quick delete function on my Gigabeat
07:19:40MarcGuayLlorean: It's the A button apparently. Not sure if I understood you there...
07:20:01MarcGuayI've = I'd?
07:20:21LloreanEw.
07:20:25LloreanThe A button is BAD for it.

07:57:40MarcGuayDo tell.
07:57:42amiconnImo rockbox should have all features the hardware allows
07:58:05amiconnThese commits do arbitrary limiting, iiuc that is.
07:58:49amiconnPerhpas 18029 is not, but 18028 is.
07:59:19MarcGuayDid you read the task? Keep in mine I'm new to this.
08:00
08:00:00MarcGuayMaybe I misunderstood the defines.
08:00:22MarcGuayDoes the ability get separated from the capacity at a different point?
08:00:50amiconnIf line in is available on the H10 dock connector, but recording from it doesn't work, it's a bug that should be fixed, not the feature removed.
08:01:53amiconnr18029 is probably misunderstanding on my side. The Nano and Video cannot do the headphone connector trick?
08:02:15MarcGuayamiconn: According to the buyer's guide, they can only go through the dock.
08:02:40Lloreanamiconn: No, they cannot.
08:02:47LloreanIt's been confirmed, at least on the nano.
08:02:51MarcGuayAnd as for removing a feature, if the feature is not currently working, I'm of the mind that it shouldn't be an available option and the manual shouldn't say that it's possible.
08:02:58amiconnHmm, so the headphone trick is for G4? Ii always thought it's the opposite - but then I only have ipods which cannot record at all
08:03:10MarcGuayI wouldn't no where to begin with implementing it.
08:03:24MarcGuay*know
08:03:27MarcGuay*beer
08:03:52amiconnMarcGuay: As long as we're not releasing, removing non-working features shouldn't be done (unless they're physically unfixable)
08:03:59LloreanMarcGuay: If it's not currently working, it should be available in the current build, but not the release.
08:04:16amiconnRemoving a non-working feature severely lowers the chance of it being fixed at all
08:04:45amiconn...since many people won't even know it *could* be possible, and hence do not test / pester developers etc
08:04:52MarcGuayThat seems odd to me. I guess I'm misunderstanding the way "it works".
08:07:33MarcGuayHere's Apple's page for the ipod "voice memo" recording: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=303100.
08:09:48MarcGuayPesterBox.
08:10:48MarcGuaySo how does that philosophy apply to the "draft" manuals? Do unusable but possible features get documented?
08:11:20LloreanFeatures that "should be working, but have a bug" should be documented as if they were working.
08:11:33LloreanBasically, recording "should be working" but something isn't done right yet.
08:11:50amiconnMarcGuay: Yeah, so recording through the headphone jack isn't possible on G5 and hence r18029 is correct. r18028 is not, however, since the H10 dock connector does have line in
08:11:50MarcGuayI see.
08:12:10*MarcGuay is starting to get it.
08:12:30LloreanIt's kinda a fine distinction in some ways.
08:12:34MarcGuayI'll flip it back.
08:12:39amiconnPerhaps petur could look into this, as he's generally interested in recording and does have a H10

08:12:52amiconnIt's mainly a problem of getting the connector though
08:13:32*amiconn could also do this if I can get hold of a connector, but he isn't so much into recording
08:14:11amiconnBtw, ipod recording is rather buggy in general afaik
08:14:56amiconn...in that it breaks playback until reboot. I don't understand why, as on H10 it doesn't cause that problem, and they're all PP

11:33:26yeahxwhat cool stuff could the 3G nano do if it got hacked do you think?
11:33:31pondlifeI don't totally understand RaeNye's comment though..
11:33:58pixelmapondlife: I'm not sure for the X5 and M5 because the bootloader needs to be prepared for it
11:34:00pondlifeyeahx: Thst's off topic hear, but I suspect it could make nice sandwiches
11:34:23yeahxyeah I was going to ask in ipodlinux but its dead
11:34:35pondlifepixelma: OK, well I might leave it then.. don't want to just commit part of the job really.
11:34:50yeahxI wish my 1st gen nano hadnt locked up right when I was doing stuff with rockbox
11:35:14pondlifeLocked up? It's unlikely to be bricked, unless you squashed it or something...
11:35:23yeahxI went 2nd gen after that and then won a 3G at work and was sad that it didnt get hacked yet
11:35:27bertrikCan anyone familiar with rbutil/sansapatcher look at a patch I just made?

11:35:54yeahxwell I went to lock it based on someones suggestion, and no matter what I did it would not unlock
11:37:35pixelmapondlife: currently (with the latest released bootloader) the Iaudios will turn on but switch off immediately after that again because they only check for a button press and not whether it was an alarm that caused the boot
11:37:55yeahxI was going to use my best buy replacement plan to use it to get a new ipod, but by the time I was going to get around to that it was gone
11:38:25yeahxbut yeah, someone told me to set it to lock while starting rockbox and that was it
11:38:35yeahxIm sure it was a hardware thing
11:40:34yeahxsorry for hi-jacking, I'll shut up now :)

17:47:47LambdaCalculus37preglow: elf.h isn't present in Mac OS X, according to FS #9006. I see that tools/creative.c needs it.
17:48:34LambdaCalculus37FS #9006 is elf.h, but still requires a tiny tweak to tools/creative.c for it to completely work.
17:50:23preglowLambdaCalculus37: i'm just wondering what it needs elf.h for, it's a weird dependency for most programs
17:51:01bertrikagaffney: I have no idea, but I think in general it's better to avoid formatting an audio player unless absolutely necessary
17:51:43 Quit DaCapn ()
17:52:12LambdaCalculus37preglow: I'm wondering, too. But it looks like the Creative builds need it for some reason or another; maybe ask mcuelenaere when he comes back?
17:52:50PaulJamhmm, rockbox should have a way to rate multiple files at once. the current method is really inconvenient. :/
17:53:36preglowLambdaCalculus37: it looks like that file uses very little of elf.h. the proper fix would be to include just those defines in creative.c itself
17:54:35LambdaCalculus37That's what FS #9006 does.
17:54:53preglowbut if it writes elf files, it doesn't sound very platform independent anyway, we should ask maurus if it makes sense to compile it on os x at all
17:55:13LambdaCalculus37preglow: Righty right, then.
17:59:55agaffneybertrik: I could swear I read somewhere that it's sometimes necessary on the sansa, because people start getting weird characters in their file/directory names

18:00:05agaffneyand I've been having my sansa freeze up on my randonly
18:01:15LearFreeze when? Like, when doing something in particular (e.g., starting playback)?
18:01:32agaffneyusually in the middle of a song
18:01:38agaffneyit was fine for about a month
18:01:44GodEateragaffney: that doesn't mean you need to format
18:01:44agaffneyand then started doing it every few songs
18:02:00agaffneywell, there are some...interesting...things that come up with fsck.vfat
18:02:09agaffneyand the partition layout is...screwy
18:03:16agaffneyfdisk and fsck.vfat really don't like this device
18:03:18GodEateris fsck refusing to fix the "interesting" things it's reporting ?

18:29:19PaulJamwhat exactly is the meaning of this "Prereq button code" in the keymaps? does that mean that when this was the previous button reading then the action gets ignored?
18:32:15PaulJami was wondering, because i noticed on H300 the buttoncombination PLAY + UP/DOWN to bring up the pitch screen only works when pressing the UP or DOWN button very quickly after pressing down PLAY. If PLAY is held too long before pressing the other button then the pitchscreen doesn't come up. i don't think this is intended.
18:33:07amiconnIt is intended.
18:33:20amiconnLong Play obviously has another meaning

19:00
19:02:35amiconnHmm, if there is nothing on long Play, it makes no sense to have the pitchscreen on a combo. Just put it on long Play ...
19:05:15PaulJami would prefer if long play stayed unused, because it is used for various other combos.

20:50:55Strife89I noticed it on http://www.rockbox.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/MajorChanges
20:51:04Strife892007-01-31: Invadrox, a Space Invaders clone.

20:52:23bertrikamiconn: on those targets we can simply keep HAVE_LCD_INVERT undefined
20:52:52bertrikHow about I implement LCD invert for c200, but keep it disabled for now?
20:53:11amiconnYes of course. The point I am wondering about is whether it makes sense to have lcd inversion on colour targets
20:53:34LambdaCalculus37Strife89: It's still in Rockbox.
20:53:57amiconnIf it does, it should be implemented on all targets where we can do it (without extra effort, i.e. only if the lcd controller has a setting for it)
20:54:05Strife89Oh.... I never saw it in the manual or on any target sim.....

20:55:38fmlamiconn: I'd remove it. It only means more code and more menu entries and doesn't effectively provide a new functionality.
20:55:39bertrikthe little guy with the pitch fork on my left shoulder says "implement, it's cool!", the little guy on my right shoulder says "nah, it's a silly gimmick" :P
20:56:22amiconnOn monochrome it's somewhat useful. Less so on greyscale, and even less on colour
20:56:24fmlIt's only a feature for the sake of it (and because the HW would make it possible to implement)
20:56:51bertrikfml, exactly
20:57:04Strife89Even on color targets, it would be useful for text reading (IMHO). :)

20:59:14tucozI wonder what you think about chapter 5.3 (recent bookmarks) in the manual. Should that really be there?
20:59:24tucozIt says ": This entry is not shown in the Main Menu when the option is off and the option is off by default. "

21:04:56linuxstbwpyh: What's weird?
21:05:12pixelmawpyh: I think it's because bubbles_bubble is the outline of the bubble, it is in "mono" because it should use the mono bitmap drawing functions

21:05:47tucozpixelma: be the standard theme for the 3.0 release :)
21:07:05wpyhlinuxstb: it's not straightforward −− why not just use some array? we don't expect the bubbles to change anyway :p
21:07:14wpyhpixelma: I'll take a look
21:07:59amiconnwpyh: It is an array, but it's generated at build time from a bmp
21:08:15wpyhah, there seems to be a broken bubble: 112x64x1
21:08:43amiconnTry using your array method with all the various resolutions and colour depths... it'd quickly become an utter mess

21:25:08mcuelenaerepreglow, LambdaCalculus37: I implemented elf->Creative binary conversion because I thought it could optimize binary size, but apparantly it didn't have the effect I wanted it to have
21:25:29a-journey-in-theno i didn't know that so far
21:25:36mcuelenaerethere's even this side-effect which makes the binary sometimes about 1900 bytes bigger (as can be seen in the delta table)

21:26:01mcuelenaereso there's (for some reason) some quirkiness with it, so it can either get optimized or removed
21:26:26LambdaCalculus37mcuelenaere: Can you have a look at FS #9006? The elf implementation is interfering with the build process on Mac platforms.
21:26:37Strife89I've been looking at the Invadrox code.
21:26:49a-journey-in-thehmm kay, so what's wrong with the m:robe port?
21:26:55mcuelenaereLambdaCalculus37: yes I saw that, I don't know what's the best solution for that
21:27:05mcuelenaerewhy exactly isn't elf.h available on Mac OS X?
21:27:30Strife89.... And the Brickmania code.
21:27:31LambdaCalculus37a-journey-in-the: Well, for one, there's no m:robe 500 port. And like I said, the m:robe 100 was only a supported target since March of this year.
21:27:53LambdaCalculus37mcuelenaere: Beats me. This is my first serious dive into Mac development.
21:27:57a-journey-in-theyeah, so? i've got the 100 version

21:28:09a-journey-in-they
21:28:33mcuelenaereLambdaCalculus37: but it does compile when the header is available? so this means there's a lib for it on Mac?

22:52:01preglowshould we use the verb "boot" in the manual? wouldn't a word like "start" or "execute" be more familiar to most people?
22:52:58Bagderamen
22:52:59stripwax"turn on" or "start" gets my vote
22:53:06stripwaxexecute is not a good word...
22:53:10linuxstbtucoz: Do you think it's worth adding "by default" somewhere in your new sentence? This would be a way to suggest to users they can change that behaviour...
22:53:12Bagdermy wife looks at me strangely when I say I boot my computer
22:53:25*linuxstb would think that most people understand "reboot", and hence "boot"...
22:53:36Bagderthey don't, they say restart
22:53:54linuxstbOK, ignore me then, I'm stuck in the 1980s ;)
22:53:55stripwaxor "turn it off an on again". especially when reboot for ipod can mean menu+select...
22:54:00stripwax^and
22:54:35stripwaxlinuxstb - also "by default" is not great. "Although this can be customized" is much better...
22:54:48linuxstbBut I'm not against using technical terms in the manual, as long as they are explained. We use the term "bootloader" everywhere (or boot loader....)
22:54:55stripwaxnah that's fine
22:55:22stripwaxPeople likely won't think they know what a bootloader is, but they might think they know what reboot means
22:55:47*linuxstb thinks we're probably not the best people to answer these questions
22:56:05*preglow pours himself a double ipa and fondles the manual a bit
22:56:46stripwaxShould the rockbox manual be made a bit more 'street'? :)
22:57:10bluebrotherwrite it gangstah style? ;-)
22:58:02bluebrotherI think adding an appendix explaining technical terms would be a nice thing ...
23:00
23:00:13preglowi've already started using the terms "bitch", "foo'", "punk" and "nizzle" extensively in the manual
23:00:45preglowand am experimenting on how best to fit "playa" in
23:02:28preglowi'm starting to think we should drop the 80 col rule for manuals. i hate reformatting entire paragraphs just after having inserted a couple of words
23:03:29 Join PaulJam__ [0] (i=PaulJam_@vpn-3096.gwdg.de)
23:05:41bluebrothermaybe make it a soft rule −− paragraphs should not exceed 80 columns, but are allowed to unless it gets too excesively?
23:05:43preglowred delta :/
23:06:07preglowwhy make it a soft rule?

23:06:29preglowa rule should only stay as long as it makes sense, and i don't think it makes much sense for text, like the manuakl is
23:06:34preglowfor code, i agree it's sensible
23:06:43bluebrotherto avoid 200 characters wide lines
23:06:53tucozand to easier spot changes
23:07:00tucozin the diffs
23:07:01preglowwhy are 200 character wide lines bad in this context?
23:07:10pregloweditors can easily wrap text
23:07:12preglowbut not code
23:07:28bluebrotherwell, but not all editors cope nicely with indentation.
23:08:05MU{lappy}as a non-developer (for this particular project), my unimportant opinion is that reasonable line-wrapping in editors can be assumed
23:08:14preglowi sure think so
23:08:30MU{lappy}the vast majority of the programming world disagrees w/ me on line lengths and tabstops, though.
23:08:34preglowtucoz: spotting changes in the diff will not be affected much by long lines
23:08:42tucozif there is a small change in a line, it's hard to spot where it is in the diff, if the line extends to an entire paragraph
23:08:49preglowtucoz: indeed, changes are hard to find when much of the diff is just shuffling lines around to ckeep the 80 col rule...
23:08:49*scorche|sh wonders where tucoz has been =)
23:09:14*stripwax completely agrees with preglow
23:09:14bluebrotherpreglow: I disagree. I find it much harder spotting changes in wiki diffs (which usually are long lines) than in the current manual diffs (which are shorter)
23:09:29*stripwax completely agrees with bluebrother too. hmm.
23:09:29MU{lappy}preglow: i see the point he's making, if hard-wrapping causes a dozen more lines to change, it's very hard to see in the diff what has actually changed.
23:10:00preglowbluebrother: i had to actually write sentences out to long lines to spot where the actual difference was in a diff i had here...
23:10:08bluebrotherand that's the reason I talked about a soft rule: if you need to shuffle the whole paragraph only because you entered one word it makes sense to have a longer line
23:10:19preglowbluebrother: since so much of the diff was just the same stuff being moved around to reformat the paragraph to the margin
23:10:46bluebrotherI agree that reshuffling because of a hard limit isn't a good thing
23:11:13preglowbluebrother: ok, so SOME lines are allowed to break the limit? that makes no sense, then. it'll look like shit after a year
23:11:46MU{lappy}allow edits, but not new paragraphs, to break the limit
23:12:07MU{lappy}break the line on insert only when you have a reasonable portion of a whole line
23:12:08bluebrothertrue, but then someone could simply make a reformatting commit which doesn't change the content at all
23:12:08MU{lappy}maybe?
23:12:08***Saving seen data "./dancer.seen"
23:12:26preglowbluebrother: well, that sounds sensible, but will it happen?
23:12:42preglowbluebrother: can you imagine a more boring task? :)
23:13:30bluebrothermake some script / editor automatically do it.
23:14:20tucozscorche|sh: Thing is, i've only got a h100 that i rarely use. i think that is why i have been away for some time
23:14:27ender`<bluebrother> true, but then someone could simply make a reformatting commit which doesn't change the content at all <- aren't such commits frowned upon, because somebody could hide unwanted changes in them?
23:14:28amiconnIf you edit a paragraph anyway, you can easily reflow it to keep the 80 char limit ...
23:14:32preglowi wouldn't trust it to a script, they have a hard time picking out what to leave on its own line
23:14:35preglowi've tried
23:14:46preglowamiconn: easily, yes, but it wastes time
23:14:55stripwaxAny diff utils that can diff within the lines?
23:14:56amiconnHow much? 5 seconds?
23:15:16preglowamiconn: 15 or so, *shrug*
23:15:20preglowi just think its pointless
23:15:34preglowbut anyway, i'm now wasting more time discussing it, i was hoping for a series of quick "i agree"s :)
23:17:09bluebrotherpreglow: I've seen patches with a paragraph being a whole line. This makes it quite hard to review it so I don't agree that completely dropping the limit would be helpful.

23:17:34preglowbluebrother: it's hard to review, but not harder than a diff full of reflowed lines
23:17:37tucozwell, as i felt it when i was working on the manual was that it was better to have a few >80 chrs lines, than tabs and crlf. tabs are a pain
23:17:38bluebrotherand the reason behind people writing such paragraphs is simply editors inserting soft line breaks, so the user doesn't notive.
23:17:45preglowbut it's obvious we don't agree about that, so let's not discuss that aspect, heh
23:18:43amiconnThe 80 chars limit is not only important for editors, but also e.g. for diffing in ViewVC
23:19:09preglowyes, and i've already explained that i find diffing reflowed lines really annoying, since it's hard to find the actual change. not so with one long line, or at least not so much
23:19:40amiconnWith long lines, ViewVC produces ugly line breaks
23:19:44preglowfinding the actual change when most of the change is reflowed lines is almost impossible, at least for me
23:20:28preglowbut to just cut this short i think i'm going to follow bluebrother's advice and not reflow anything
23:20:51bertrikI think the 80 character limit is out-of-date, but reaching consensus on a new (higher) limit is probably impossible
23:21:11*preglow uses 80 char wide editors and terminals
23:21:13stripwax132?
23:21:16preglowi think that limit is completely ok
23:21:25preglowi'd be ok with a new limit, but i think 80 is preferable for now
