#rockbox log for 2008-08-03

00:00:54 Join fyre^OS [0] (n=fyre@cpe-68-173-172-243.nyc.res.rr.com)
00:02:34solexx_I still think the whole point of the procedure is to have two versions of Rockbox available, one in ROM and one in RAM. Since the patch isn't needed anymore, you don't need to have two versions around and just unziping a current rockbox.zip to the CF should work, as long as you have a current bootloader installed.
00:04:52solexx_I just don't understand the point where the wiki says to flash "rockbox.iriver (RAM image) to ROM". Opening the file with the flash plugin doesn't offer a choice where the flash it, I guess rockbox.iriver always ends up in RAM.
00:05:13 Quit fyrestorm (Read error: 60 (Operation timed out))
00:06:23solexx_What's also strange is that when I choose "boot from disk" on the bootloader menu, I don't get "ata -80" but "no partitions found" instead.
00:06:29 Quit snoh (Remote closed the connection)
00:06:40solexx_But there is exactly one partition on the CF card.
00:09:19 Quit bluebrother ("leaving")
00:16:12BigBambirockbox.iriver always ends up in ram
00:16:22BigBambior rather, as the ram image
00:16:35BigBambithe one called rombox is the one that is run direct from rom
00:17:11BigBambiI can't remember the exact name, but it is something like rombox.iriver
00:18:52solexx_BigBambi: yes, it is.
00:19:24BigBambiThe thing is, both are stored in ROM
00:19:48BigBambiThe difference is that rockbox.iriver is copied to RAM to be run, rombox.iriver is run direct from ROM
00:20:24BigBambiSo when the wiki says to flash rockbox.iriver (RAM image) to ROM it is correct, if not too clear
00:20:30 Join kugel [0] (n=chatzill@unaffiliated/kugel)
00:22:21solexx_BigBambi: ah, so both are *stored* in ROM, but while rombox.iriver is directly run from ROM, rockbox.iriver is loaded into RAM before it is run?
00:22:27BigBambiyes
00:23:39solexx_ah, thanks
00:27:39solexx_Anybody with experience running Rockbox from CF on Iriver H120 in here?

01:10:20nevynCan I be reasonably confident that the following item is an ipod that is supported in rockbox? http://www.dealsdirect.com.au/p/60gb-apple-ipod-classic-black-reconfigured/
01:10:27***Saving seen data "./dancer.seen"
01:12:45domonokynevyn: ipod classic does not work with rockbox..
01:12:59nevynright.
01:13:07nevynbut aiui it's not actually an ipod classic
01:13:23kugelYea, that doesn't look like a classig
01:13:34nevynthis is part of why I'm asking
01:13:49nevynaiui the classic is only the 80/160GB models
01:14:16kugelnevyn: That sounds like refurbished ipod to me, where "reconfigured" means that the front and backplate have been replaced with original parts if they've taken damage
01:14:31nevynkugel: that's what I think
01:14:34BigBambinevyn: That is true, but it might have had an odd hard drive stuck in
01:14:44nevynin which case it's a g5.5
01:14:45BigBambiHowever, I think it isn't a classic and will be OK
01:15:02BigBambinevyn: For reference, http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1353
01:15:35lordpilthey list the model, http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=MA147LL
01:16:43BigBambiYes, googling for the model number brings up an ipod video
01:17:11nevynneato
01:17:14BigBambiSo it should be fine, it isn't actually a classic
01:17:24nevynBigBambi: that's what I figgured.
01:17:28BigBambiNo guarantees though :)
01:17:35nevynof course.
01:17:53nevynproblem is.
01:18:04nevynto the vast majority an ipod is an ipod is an ipod
01:18:12BigBambier, what?
01:18:23BigBambiNot in hardware terms between generations
01:18:27nevynsure.
01:18:39BigBambiSorry, I misread
01:18:40nevynI know that.
01:19:07BigBambiI missed the to at the start and inserted an of between majority and an
01:19:11nevynbut the labeling and so on don't make it clear which generation ipod things are.
01:19:53BigBambithe vast majority of an ipod is an ipod is an ipod reads very differently :)
01:20:01nevynheh
01:20:08kugelnevyn: True, my friends even freak out if they see a ipod shuffle
01:20:09nevynno to the vast majority of peopl
01:20:29kugelI tell'em "but it has no display, that sucks", and they just answer: "but it's an ipod"
01:20:58nevynand classic has become a way to specify the "standard" ipod as opposed to a touch or nano or shuffle
01:21:50nevynthanks
01:22:38kugelnevyn: But, the ipod video is actually the target on which rockbox performs worst

01:27:37nevynkugel: bother.
01:27:45BigBambiBig screen, slow processor
01:27:53nevynwhat should I be looking for in this size storage range?
01:28:06BigBambiwww.rockbox.org/wiki/BuyersGuide
01:30:18nevynok so that doesn't mention that the ipod video sucks for rockbox. and it doesn't give a guide as to what works well/best
01:31:08BigBambiportalplayer have fairly slow processors (ipod, h10, sansa), or the bigger the screen within those the worse
01:32:02BigBambiIt depends what you want to do - the ipod video will be likely fine unless you want to have every bit of dsp turned on (equalizer etc) or watch video
01:32:11 Quit BHSPitLappy (Read error: 110 (Connection timed out))
01:32:52BigBambiOn the ipod video if you want to watch video you are better of using the apple firmware, as it can use an additional chip for video playback that we don't know how to use
01:33:57BigBambiAnd I don't mean just equaliser, I mean all the other DSP options too (disclaimer, I've not actually used one, I'm just going on other people's experiences)
01:34:10BigBambiThe gigabeat F is very good though

02:52:27Colby_Question: I have an iriver H10 20gb. Ages ago it got wet or something, and the scroll/track bar on it now doesn't scroll at all with iRiver firmware, and with Rockbox firmware it scrolls straight down no matter what (though it will scroll up, but then promptly back down). Also, whenever I try to use -any- buttons on my player with Rockbox (power, skip buttons, select, back) they don't work...
02:52:29Colby_...at all - to the point where I have to manually reset my player to get it to even turn off. Any ideas? Is this a software or hardware issue?
02:54:23scorcheif they dont work properly in either firmware, it is hardware...
02:55:39Colby_I don't understand why I can't even browse the folder trees in Rockbox though - that at least works in the iRiver firmware.
02:56:06Colby_For me, the Rockbox menu won't even do anything except let me scroll between Files - System. I can't open any of those options.

03:17:35num1someone mentioned that you can dynamically allocate memory on rockbox without using malloc
03:18:04num1How do I do this? (sorry for using multiple lines, my finger slipped)
03:19:49JdGordondepends how much you want, and how dynamic, and how you want to use it

03:26:49num1I want enough to hold an image the size of the screen, at the screens bitdepth. I basically want to make an array with a size determined at runtime. preferably read and write, unless you have a different meaning for "how you want to use it"
03:28:48num1on a stylistic note, in apps/lang there's a mix of naming a language file based on the word for the language, and the languages word for the language. If I make a patch that changes all the names to english what are the chances of it being accepted?
03:29:12JdGordonany reason to not just make it statically sized at compile time?
03:29:32JdGordonand there has been a bit of discussoin about that and we dont really knwow hat we want
03:30:50kugelJdGordon: Morning :)
03:31:14JdGordonhi
03:31:40JdGordonI've looked... depending on my day ill concider commiting :p
03:31:49num1I would prefer to save space, but that's not really a strong argument at this scale. What I would really like is to make a buffer the exact size of the image, that I can blit to the screen, instead of having to perform translations on every pixel as I'm adding then to the image to account for its position on the screen. I should've said I want to hold an image the size of the screen or smaller

08:55:31linuxstbvitja: What did you do?
08:56:02vitjalinuxstb, I've written button and simple lcd driver
08:56:15vitjaand rockbox bootloader booted
08:56:50vitjanow I'm going to play with usb 2.0 host
08:56:59vitjas/host/device/
08:57:08vitjanever did it before, only host
08:57:36linuxstbHave you tested the NAND driver?
08:58:46vitjawhen I call ata_init() bootloader panics with nand cache error
08:59:35vitjadoes it work ok on other tcc77x ports?
09:00
09:00:11linuxstbIt apparently works a little... At least, I haven't heard of that error before.
09:01:41vitjaok so.. if run ata_init() in bootloader instead of show_debug_screen() that should work?
09:02:47linuxstbYes. Are you also calling the other _init() functions?
09:03:30vitjahere are I use default loader that could be found in bootloader/telechips.c
09:03:54vitjaI see cowond2 also calls kernel_init() and enable_irq()
09:04:00vitjadoes that makes sens?
09:05:20linuxstbNo, the D2 doesn't call those two functions.
09:05:40vitjayeah
09:05:46vitjaI was wrong here
09:06:51vitjaso I simply enable D2 nand initialization code, and that sais Max NAND write cac has reached
09:08:38vitjaIs that write?
09:08:46vitjaI mean right

16:05:11funmanyes but then they can do weird things on the pcb's circuit

16:06:27bertrikbut you can access all flash chip pins, right, why would you need to know what happens on the pcb?

19:25:43amiconngrr, clicking a FS# in mibbit has an unwanted effect...
19:25:57amiconnIt opens a new channel (because of the hash sign)
19:27:58 Quit desowin_ ("KVIrc 4.0.0 Insomnia http://www.kvirc.net/")
19:28:49amiconnWell, the patch seems to do smooth resizing now. Can't say much as I don't have the possibility to test it right now, and there are lots of comments...
19:30:58amiconnI do agree that we need resizing in the core, and in fact it should imo have all of the following features: (1) Be smooth (i.e. no simple pixel dropping/ duplicating) (2) Be fast and compact. (3) Be available for all pixel formats which support album art (i.e. all depths >= 2)
19:33:48amiconn(3) shouldn't be difficult if it's done on the intermediate line buffer (that buffer is alwas 32 bit after unifying input data, before converting to the output format)
19:33:54 Quit goffa (Read error: 110 (Connection timed out))
19:38:13amiconnIt may be necessary to keep 2 intermediate buffers though (for averaging), and I'm not sure whether it's a good idea to keep them on the stack then (right now it is, but that's already ~1.3KB for the target with the widest screen (ipod video), and will become worse with some new trgets (m:robe 500, Onda))
19:39:28linuxstbAre you talking about resizing-on-load - in the read_bmp() function?
19:39:34amiconnyes
19:40:04linuxstbBecause that's not what the patch does... It implements a resize_bitmap(src,dst) function.
19:40:20amiconnHmm. Imho that's the wrong way
19:41:31 Quit Mathiasdm ("Invisible Internet Project: http://www.i2p2.de")
19:41:53amiconnI think the main purpose is scaling down, and then you waste lots of ram if you resize after loading
19:41:53linuxstbYes, that's my view as well.
19:42:32amiconnA good "live" resizing algorithm is what we need
19:43:00amiconnbtw, I want one for the jpeg viewer as well, to do away with wasting screen space in the default view
19:43:22amiconnI also want (optional) auto rotation for best fit in the jpeg viewer
19:43:23linuxstbThe AA-related parts of the patch don't look very reliable - IIUC, it just uses the remaining part of the audio buffer as temporary storage, ignoring wraparound issues.
19:43:59amiconnhmm
19:44:15amiconnI will have a closer look tomorrow, when I'm back home
19:44:17linuxstbNico_P was going to look at the patch and comment, so I'm leaving that to him...
19:44:23linuxstb(the buffering issues)
19:45:08amiconnIf all the mentioned parts are implemented, it may be fairly easy to add jpeg album art support. If we want that, that is
19:45:23bertrikI read about a smart algorithm (from DDJ IIRC) that first scaled the image down to about the proper size (bigger than target, but less than 2 times) by scaling down in steps of 2 (easy, just average 4 pixels), then did a bilinear step. Because the image is at this point less than twice as big as it needs to be finally, the bilinear algorithm only needs to consider 2 input pixels for each output pixel.
19:46:03linuxstbamiconn: I think the general view is that we do want jpeg album-art support.
19:46:13 Join LambdaCalculus37 [0] (n=LambdaCa@c-24-0-218-198.hsd1.nj.comcast.net)
19:46:59amiconnbertrik: The idea itself sounds good, but there is a fundamental problem: the scaling algorithm we need needs to work with only 2 (maybe 3, but as few as possible) original lines available at most
19:47:33amiconni.e. it will never have access to the complete original image at once
19:47:36linuxstbHow does jpeg decoder decode the image? i.e. in what order do the pixels come out?
19:48:14amiconnIt decodes in natural order, i.e. macroblock after macroblock
19:49:02amiconnBut the jpeg viewer *does* buffer whole images (starting with the 1/8 x 1/8 scaled one, or the biggest one that fits the display, whatever is bigger)
19:50:10amiconnThe advantage of using jpeg for album art would be that we don't need extreme scaling factors if we demand a sane limit for the input image, due to the possible "natural" jpeg downscaling
19:51:03bertrikScaling by 2^x should be easy to do on-the-fly
19:51:30amiconnbertrik: It's simple in horizontal direction, but not so simple in vertical direction
19:53:12bertrikAre we really that restricted w.r.t. buffer space?
19:55:13linuxstbSome targets are...
19:55:25amiconnOn most targets that support album art we aren't, but wasting resources can't be good

20:03:42LambdaCalculus37Good luck with that!
20:04:27kugellinuxstb: Regarding the bmp resize, am I wrong when I assume that the smoother the algorithm should resize the more it needs about to know about the image (i.e. the more lines it needs at live resizing before doing anything)?
20:04:33tehpaperall im coming up with is an idea, dont be a dick. how about give reason A B and C why it wont work well
20:04:43*kugel hopes he got it
20:05:57tehpaperif you can get a full emu on a nokia phone i cant see how much harder it would be to get it on a ipod
20:06:19peturtehpaper: then start coding :P
20:07:12linuxstbkugel: I guess it would depend on the algorithm. Graphics processing isn't my speciality, so don't ask me...
20:07:49linuxstbtehpaper: nokia phones have about a 400MHz CPU, the ipods Rockbox run on have a 80MHz CPU... (although it's dual-core)
20:08:37kugellinuxstb: The algorithm satisfies all of amiconn's demands, the only issue seems to be the live-resizing
20:08:47mcuelenaerelinuxstb: I don't think all nokia phones have a 400Mhz CPU, but at least they're indeed faster than an iPod

22:03:00bluebrotherdomonoky: I guess you must *not* quote the options string −− looks like espeak treats the string as a single input if quoted

22:03:34bluebrotherand I wouldn't be surprised if the other tts' would behave the same. Basically you're grouping all parts of the options into a single string ...
22:04:20bertrikHmm, I inputted -v dutch-test, but on the console it shows Failed to read voice ' dutch-test' (with a space as the first character)
22:04:30bluebrotheryeps: just tried it. If I run "espeak -v de" from the command line it works as expected. If I run "espeak "-v de"" it still works but the wrong language is chosen.
22:04:44domonokyhm, thats right.. should remove the quotes for the options in the template :-)
22:05:33bluebrotheryou only need to make sure the option string is getting passed as whole, but with QStrings there shouldn't be any issue about this ...
22:06:15bertrikIt seems to work without the space, like -vdutch-test or -vnl
22:07:06bluebrotherworks with space for me too (at least from the command line)
22:07:41bertrikbluebrother, yes it works here too on the command line, just not in rbutilqt
22:07:45domonokycan someone test with the quotes removed from the template ? ( i dont have espeak installed at moment)..
22:08:42bluebrotherheh: that won't work. QProcess::execute() wants a QStringList for the arguments, so you need to split it up.
22:08:49bluebrotherwill try, gimme a few minutes.
22:09:34domonokyno i give the complete string with options and all to execute, no stringList..
22:10:18domonokyso just removing the quotes from the template should work..
22:10:52bluebrotherbut that's strange: from the docs it's int QProcess::execute ( const QString & program, const QStringList & arguments )
22:12:01 Nick Maha` is now known as maha (i=juma@gateway/gpg-tor/key-0xB9002659)
22:12:02domonokybluebrother: there is a overloaded version which takes the complete string with arguments..
22:12:21bluebrotheralso, ignoring the return code of execute() doesn't seem like a good idea to me
22:12:30bluebrotherdomonoky: can't find this overloaded version in the docs :/
22:12:49domonokyhttp://doc.trolltech.com/4.4/qprocess.html#execute-2
22:12:51linuxstbMaybe it only matters on some OSes.... But on Unix, the arguments should be a list (IIUC)

22:13:46bluebrotherthat doesn't tell anything about the arguments −− it only has QString& program
22:14:05linuxstb"program is a single string of text containing both the program name and its arguments. The arguments are separated by one or more spaces."
22:14:07bluebrotherah, now I see
22:14:21*bluebrother didn't read far enough
22:14:55domonokyand checking the return code is difficult, as the TTSExes is a generic Executable TTS class, not all give the same return codes..
22:15:28bluebrothercan't we assume all executables giving the return code 0 if no error occured?
22:15:40domonokysomeday we should use the espeak libarary instead of the exe.. or even a built-in version of espeak..

22:21:12bluebrotherQt4.4 introduces a GPL3 license option IIRC.
22:21:48bluebrotherbut I'm not sure if I would want rbutil having a different license than rockbox itself
22:21:50bertrikHow much impact does it have for other languages when I change an english string?

22:23:01num1I mean, where do you put the voice sound files and how do you give it a name for the language file to use?
22:23:04linuxstbbluebrother: I can't see it causing any issues. Rockbox itself is v2 or later, so will always be compatible with rbutil. And individual parts of rbutil could still be "v2 or later", just the whole thing is v3....
22:23:06*linuxstb sighs...
22:23:48Learbertrik: Changing the meaning of a string isn't good. The other languages would show the old meaning until updated.
22:24:27domonokynum1: the voice tag in language files is uses by our voicegeneration (buildsystem or rbutil) to generate the voiceclips via a tts engine.. .
22:24:59bertrikLear, it's not really the meaning that I want to change, but some C format converters, see http://www.rockbox.org/tracker/task/9237
22:25:04num1domonoky: what happens if the tts engine doesn't support a given language?
22:25:30bluebrotherlinuxstb: true, but I'm not sure if I would be happy with such a split license situation.
22:25:46domonokynum1: then you should use another tts engine, or it will sound ugly.. :-)
22:26:44domonokytheoretically it also possible to generate a voice out of human speech, but thats too much work..
22:26:55bluebrotherbertrik: IMO we should use either IEC prefixes or SI prefixes, but always use the correct divider / abbreviation ...
22:27:14rasherdomonoky: it's not as much work as you'd think. I did it at one point, took about 5-6 hours total to record the samples, but I haven't been updating.
22:27:15bluebrotherdomonoky: well, if someone wants to do the job ... ;-)
22:27:33num1domonoky: isn't that what tts engines do anyway :D
22:27:57rashernum1: Sounds good that you're willing to do the Turkish translation - maybe it's easier to just start over, by editing a copy of english.lang and translating everything in <dest> and <voice>, since the current turkish translation is VERY outdated
22:28:02bertrikbluebrother, OK, the patch just tries to be consistent with the current rockbox convention (which may be wrong)
22:28:07rasher(and as you say, doesn't properly use utf-8)
22:28:45bluebrotherit has been discussed before, but I'm strongly in favor of being correct. 1024 bytes is *not* 1 kilobyte.
22:29:39Learbertrik: Well, not the absolute meaning, but the change is "big", so to speak. In this case, unfixed languages would show something like "Buf: %d.%03dMB 28.1 MB". Not fatal, but not pretty either. :)
22:29:50Bagderbluebrother: "A kilobyte (derived from the SI prefix kilo-, meaning 1,000) is a unit of information or computer storage equal to either 1,024 bytes (210) or 1,000 bytes (103), depending on context."
22:29:58Bagder(from wikipedia)
22:30:05rasherbluebrother: you've got my support. We should change instances to be 1000-based, or use the binary prefixes, as appropriate (I assume bitrates use powers-of-ten based prefixes).
22:30:17 Nick Maha` is now known as maha (i=juma@gateway/gpg-tor/key-0xB9002659)
22:30:18rasherBagder: IETF, ISO and that other one disagrees.
22:30:23bluebrotherBagder: well, while that is common useage it's technically not correct.
22:30:26num1rasher: allright, I'll do that. Should I just translate and copy strings from dest to voice? Why are there two fields there?
22:30:43Bagderbluebrother, rasher: you can argue that, people will still disagree
22:30:50rashernum1: Because in some cases, the two may not be identical (or either one of them are empty)
22:30:51bertrikLear, so *if* I change it, I should do this to all languages, right?
22:30:53Bagderkilo is 1000 and 1024, face it
22:31:04rasherBagder: Only until we sort out the damage done
22:31:09bluebrotherkilo is 1000 and some people think it's 1024, including windows.
22:31:24bluebrotheras per *Standard* it's always 1000.
22:31:36Bagderbluebrother: "people" thought it was 1024 even before windows existed
22:31:50num1rasher: In what cases would they be different? It seems like you want the program to read what is printed on the screen
22:31:51Bagderin computer land kilo was always 1025
22:31:53Bagder1024
22:32:00rasherBagder: Not true either
22:32:02Bagderuntil people started to deal with the confusion
22:32:13bluebrother"computer land" is no standard ...
22:32:21BagderI learn kilo == 1024 in the 80s
22:32:26Bagderlearned
22:32:26bluebrotherit's just some kind of usage.
22:32:29rasherKilo has been 1000, at first, then it became either 1024 or 1000.
22:32:33Learbertrik: That would be nice, and it should be possible to figure out what the "MB" part is, even if you don't speak the language in question.
22:32:36rasherbluebrother: Computers weren't invented in the 80s though

22:33:35bluebrotherwell, I really don't care if use kiB or kB, but if we use 1024 as divider it should be kiB.
22:34:07bertrikKiB?
22:34:10*rasher already changed dansk.lang to do this in places where the translation can handle it

22:35:41bluebrotherI think it's sqrt(-1) ;-)
22:36:21*domonoky wants complex disk sizes.. :-)
22:36:36rasherKilo has consistently meant 1000 for many hundred years. It has never consistently meant 1024, even within the realms of computing, for the past 40 years. Ising kilo to mean 1024 is sloppy and bad.
22:36:59rasherSomething that could also be said for my typing.
22:37:12linuxstbrasher: It's consistently meant 1024 when dealing with numbers of bytes, at least in my mind...
22:37:45bluebrotherbesides, the binary prefixes were invented several years ago to end this confusion. Unless we use them the confusion won't get better but only worse, especially for users.
22:37:49rasherlinuxstb: That's not what reality has to say on the matter. Harddrive makers for one, transmissions speeds for another.
22:38:05bluebrotherlinuxstb: just think of network speeds −− in that context it was always 1000.
22:38:09*num1 thinks defining capitalization to change meaning is retarded and opening the door to misunderstandings
22:38:09linuxstbTransmission speeds are in bits
22:38:46rasherlinuxstb: do you really think we should base our prefixes on bits vs bytes, and expect everyone to be on the same page?
22:39:13rasherFact is, when you see KiB, you *know* what is meant, the same can't be said for kB
22:39:31*bluebrother really doesn't understand why it's so hard to simply switch to IEC prefixes
22:39:39bluebrotherit only makes things clearer.
22:39:42rasherAt least not until people start using the binary prefixes
22:40:05rasherRight, IEEE-1541, ISO/IEC-80000 is what I meant
22:40:05bluebrotherwhich is generally a good thing.
22:40:19linuxstbrasher: I didn't say that. I just said that in my mind, MB, KB etc are binary, and have been for the last 25 years since I started using computers.
22:40:38rasherlinuxstb: But it's not true though. You constantly have to stop and think.

22:41:17*domonoky has no problem with changing to display KiB instead of kB.. changing to /1000 would be bad..
22:41:23bertrikMB and kB were always very clear to me until harddisk makers started to cut corners

22:46:27bluebrotherrasher: true. But eating up 1.something GB of a 80GB or so HDD is really much system ;-)
22:46:42rasherbluebrother: As far as I can tell, the answer is "everyone understands this", apparently.

22:53:09bluebrotherstill, I'd really like to see Rockbox using correct terms, regardless if this means changing the prefix or the divider.
22:53:23XavierGrI have to agree with linuxstb and Bagder on this, while the ISO kilo is definitely 1000, I've always knew that in storage a kilobyte is 1024 bytes. That's what I've been constantly encounter except storage manufacturers
22:53:56peturbluebrother: most drives have had that on their label for years now
22:54:12rasherXavierGr: Why is it a problem to adjust that KiB *definitely* means 1024 bytes, rather than kB *probably* means 1024 bytes?
22:54:16rasherWhy cling to this uncertainty?
22:54:39bluebrotherXavierGr: only because it has been used that way doesn't make it more correct. And we have a correct way since several (!) years now, so what's the point in not following it?
22:55:29*petur thinks KiB, MiB,... sound silly
22:55:37linuxstbI accept the logic of using KiB, I just don't like the way "KB" has been stolen from me by marketing people...
22:55:46linuxstbAnd I agree with petur...
22:55:52XavierGrrasher, bluebrother: well other than that some users might not be used to KiB, I don't find a reason not using it. Though it would be silly to use kilo as 1000 in this context
22:56:07peturAND it uses 50% more bytes to store!
22:56:16XavierGrpetur: rofl
22:56:38*bluebrother hands petur some bytes
22:56:58*petur wonders if they go with his current beer
22:57:08rasherlinuxstb: Stolen by marketing people? Would you listen to yourself! You've been using the *factually and objectively wrong* terms the entire time, and now you complain that you don't want to use actually correct terms because that's what marketing guys do?
22:57:13*rasher boggles
22:57:34bluebrotherXavierGr: using KiB is even an advantage IMO −− people won't expect it to be the same as the kB that's printed on their disc (ok, this would rather be GB ...)
22:57:53peturin the early days, KB *always* meant 1024 !
22:57:53XavierGrso yeah I wouldn't mind seeing KiB and keep the /1024, but it would be very confusing to change it to /1000 and keep KB
22:57:59linuxstbrasher: No, I've always been taught in computing that the multiplier was 1024. Which makes sense, because that's the natural unit.
22:58:12bluebrotherpetur: true, but we aren't in those early days anymore ;-)

23:15:24num1rasher: If someone spent the time to make a decent GUI for recording voice clips for rockbox it wouldn't be a bad idea.
23:15:57linuxstbrasher: Could be nice for 3.0... But then what languages do we pay for? (presumably we would need to pay...)
23:16:57num1Well, the people who are doing translations already are presumably fluent in the language, and you don't have to pay for them to talk into a can
23:17:23rashernum1: not everyone's got great voices
23:17:55linuxstbAnyone know how many words are in the English .lang?
23:18:01rasherI more or less abandoned my own attempt mostly because the result was quite awful (beyond the fact that you always think you sound funny)
23:18:26bluebrotherwell, an "awful" voice is rather subjective.
23:18:29rasherlinuxstb: wc -w says 1174
23:18:51rasher(on a text file with raw voicestrings)
23:19:10linuxstbHmm, then that would be £1174 pounds with the person I was thinking of...
23:19:34linuxstb(someone who did some British English voicing for Asterisk - http://www.enicomms.com/cutglassivr/ )
23:19:59rasherlinuxstb: that's rather a lot

23:20:52linuxstbHopefully that price (1 GBP per word) is just for smaller jobs...
23:21:29bluebrothershouldn't it be rather easy to write a script that presents you a string, waits for a button, then records until next button press and use that recording?
23:21:41bluebrothermaybe adding a retry button too
23:22:15num1bluebrother: that's what I was thinking about
23:22:24rasherI found that reading 10-15 clips in one recording, then cutting it up in audacity was quite fast
23:22:37linuxstbIt would be easy to script it with Asterisk....
23:22:52num1even if some people had bad voices, if you made a gui really simple to use enough people would do the voiceovers that you could choose the best ones
23:23:09sin613i just gave my old boss a call. he does a radio show and might be willing to contribute. hopefully get a call back in a few minutes
23:23:46bluebrothermake it a contest ;-)
23:24:28num1lol, winner gets 10% of our income, bty we don't have any :D
23:24:54rasherWe do, actually - donations
23:25:26scorchecould always see if a geeky celebrity to do it pro bono ;)
23:25:47rasherWil Wheaton or something
23:26:19sin613maybe a geeky musician
23:26:29sin613who already gives away music
23:27:03scorchehasnt Robin Williams been seen around Linux conventions?
23:27:08num1Jonathan Coulton's given away a lot of his music, and his voice's pretty good
23:27:35 Quit desowin ("KVIrc 4.0.0 Insomnia http://www.kvirc.net/")
23:28:23rasherMusicians are probably even more likely
23:28:28sin613the good thing about musicians is that you've got voice talent
23:28:38rasherAnd the equipment
23:28:52sin613yeah
23:29:02sin613and more than likely the know-how
23:29:31rasherThey don't even have to do editing. They could just record the entire list in one giant take, and I'm sure we could take care of the editing
23:30:54sin613it would likely be better that way
23:31:16zei've got equip and knowhow... dunno bout the voice though, but i could to a test later and see if anyone likes it
23:31:34sin613nice voice mic?
23:31:39zeyeah
23:31:43rasherze: I've a script that produces a clean list of strings
23:31:45 Quit snoh (Remote closed the connection)
23:31:59sin613what model?
23:32:01rasherze: FS #7650
23:32:07zeoktava mk219
23:32:11num1rasher: In one giant take? You want to sit in front of a mic for 1174 lines? that's almost 20 minutes stright!
23:32:43sin613another possibility would be asking someone from a popular tech or recording podcast
23:32:44rashernum1: well they could pause or do a couple of takes :) I just mean that they don't have to do the boring work of cutting it into tiny chunks
23:33:10rasherThere are plenty of good options, really
23:33:34sin613podcast producer would be great since it would likely increase exposure for rockbox
23:34:16sin613people from other countries might be able to locate podcast producers in their native toungue to serve as voice talent
23:34:32rashersin613: a good point
23:35:06sin613it's a given they'll already have the equipment, the voice, and the know-how
23:35:24bertrikwe'll never get that done before 3.0 unless we delay it
23:35:27sin613if they get credit and more traffic, they'll likely do it gratis
23:35:50rasherbertrik: Luckily, voicefiles can be added retro-actively
23:35:54BigBambiThere are people that do podcats with highly annoying voices :)
23:36:00BigBambipodcasts too
23:36:17rasherBigBambi: I'd wager it's most of them!

23:36:57sin613that's true, but there are many out there with good voices
23:37:24BigBambiIt'd be nice to have for e.g. English a couple with different accents too
23:37:27bluebrothernow we need to delay 3.0 ... ;-)

23:37:57sin613the voice files weren't going to bundled with the release, were they?

23:38:25bluebrotherno, you download it separately.
23:38:26kugelHmm, just got a giant time out without noticing
23:38:41sin613so will it matter if they're released at the same time?
23:38:45bluebrotherbut there is a remaining issue: rbutil only installs the most recent voicefile, there is no selection.
23:38:55kugelI already thought there was no talk here since 3 hours
23:39:03sin613if only there were some way to get at the source and change that... j/k
23:39:04*petur posts another recscreen patch and nudges pixelma
23:39:06domonokyif we really want this, we should do some modifications to our voicebuilding script, so that we can easily regenerate the voicefiles from the source wavs..
23:39:23 Join Imaginal [0] (n=travis@74-60-4-104.sea.clearwire-dns.net)
23:39:36bluebrotherdoesn't the voice script already allow for a voice pool?
23:39:39rasherdomonoky: it's not hard to do with a simple wrapper script that calls the buildsystem - see FS7650
23:39:40linuxstbbluebrother: Does rbutil still (I think the wx version did) have an option to choose a Rockbox release when installing?
23:39:50bluebrotherlinuxstb: yes.
23:39:59ImaginalWhen I click through database-> recently added, nothing shows up. How do I make this feature work?
23:40:10bluebrotherImaginal: initialize the database.
23:40:28bluebrotheror update it if you already have initialized. Keep in mind that you need to reboot after initializing the database
23:41:24Imaginalbluebrother: the database has been initialized. I can browse other options, and autoupdate is turned on. I frequently reset it
23:41:51bluebrotherreset what? The database?
23:41:57Imaginalthe ipod
23:41:58linuxstbbluebrother: There's also the manual as well...
23:42:12bluebrotherlinuxstb: true ...
23:42:28BigBambiImaginal: Why do you reset often?
23:42:35linuxstbImaginal: resetting (holding MENU+SELECT) is like pulling the plug on your PC. You should do a clean shutdown (hold PLAY for a couple of seconds)
23:43:42Imaginalunderstood. I meant that I've been changing a lot of things with it that require resetting, so it has been reset since initializing and updating
23:44:17bluebrotherImaginal: changing options in Rockbox *never* require a *reset*. They require a *reboot*, which means you need to shut down cleanly
23:44:20linuxstbWhat requires resetting?
23:44:27bluebrotherotherwise you can expect problems.
23:44:30BigBambiI can't think of anything tht needs a reset
23:44:43Imaginalhmm. cool
23:44:48BigBambi]If you reset, rockbox doesn't get chance to write the status to disk
23:44:59 Quit jhulst (No route to host)
23:45:08bluebrotherresetting is almost *never* needed.
23:45:41*bluebrother sighs. Once you disclose the reset procedure users tend to use that all the time
23:45:50Imaginalbut recently added seems like something the involves the transfer time, and would be writter at the beginning of the transfer

23:46:13BigBambiThe disk isn't spun up on every track change, that would kill battery
23:46:57BigBambiMost things are kept in memory then written when the disk is spun to read more music into memory. If you reset, the data held in memory never has chance to get written to disk (which happens as part of the shutdown procedure)
23:47:32linuxstbImaginal: It's hard to diagnose if there's a problem because you've been resetting your ipod. Try adding some files and doing a clean shutdown, and see if you still have problems.
23:47:54bluebrotherresetting the Ipod when not needed isn't a good idea anyway, regardless of the state of the currently running software
23:48:07*BigBambi just realised he didn't quite understand Imaginal's last sentence
23:48:08ImaginalI understand. I'll give it a try and get back to you. Thanks again

23:56:21pixelmaI believe "recently added" needs the "Gather Runtime Data" option to be set. Not sure if it is in the manual but I think I read it on the DataBase wiki page
23:56:49pixelmableh, didn't see he already left
23:56:54*kugel agrees with bluebrother and rasher on the previous discussion on KB/KiB
23:57:12pixelmapetur: looking
23:57:42peturpixelma: maybe wait a moment, I seem to have a drawing issue in the ondio sim
23:57:47rasherpixelma: I added detection of wrong "" vs none on my language problems page
23:58:03pixelmarasher: nice :)
23:58:48rasherI don't think I'm going to change the logic on the translation page, because it really is translators not being awake, and at least like this, the string is kept, even though it's in the wrong place
23:59:00kugelHas anyone noticed the go-back-behavior of wps context menu items being very inconsistent?
