00:01:39MarcGuayIs there an SVN command for removing extra files? update/cleanup/revert didn't work.
00:02:21 Quit ender` (" "I want an Internet. Can I have one of those?" -- Spice Girl Mel B., aka Scary Spice during an AOL press conference, point")
00:02:26gevaertsMarcGuay: you can make a script based on svn stat
00:03:18Unhelpfulsvn revert needs an option to do that :/
00:03:34Zagortwiki lives again
00:03:47pixelmado you need an SVN command for that? If the revert didn't work I would think it wasn't SVN added in first place
00:04:21linuxstbMarcGuay: This should work: svn stat | grep ^\? | (while read a b ; do rm "$b" ; done)
00:04:24pixelmaZagor: good news :)
00:05:59LambdaCalculus37Zagor: Excellent. :)
00:06:28MarcGuayZagor: Are all of today's changes reverted or just the history?
00:06:37Qgartenheeh just wanted to say this too
00:08:07Qgartenjust history I think

00:18:31webguest72i click it but it doesnt load
00:18:34markunpixelma: I tried to find it again with google but no luck
00:18:40webguest72help!
00:18:41saratogakugel: too late for what?
00:18:43markunmaybe we should sort it out before the release

00:19:27kugelI mean, I already did
00:19:35webguest72thats why it isnt loading?
00:19:37webguest72like doom
00:19:47kugeldepends now if they're smart enough to google
00:19:47saratogakugel: I was thinking that for fuze and clip owners, it might be worth making a couple JTAG adapters and mailing them out

00:32:51gevaertsLambdaCalculus37: looks good
00:33:44saratogadoes anyone know how reads from SD cards work?
00:33:54saratogai assume you have to read some minmum block size, but what is that size?
00:34:31kugelsaratoga: 19h runtime with your mp3 on cop patch (default settings, ~200kbit's album)
00:34:46Zagorpixelma: CC-BY-SA is incompatible with GPL but since these are separate media files and not mixed with GPL-licensed code it should not be a problem.
00:34:59kugelthough, tested with my build, with a build that only contains your patches, it'll probably be more
00:35:13LambdaCalculus37gevaerts: Should I describe the menu?
00:35:34gevaertsLambdaCalculus37: from what I can see most of the other plugin chapters don't
00:35:54pixelmaZagor: I see no mention of a license in the 12x12 part
00:36:01saratogakugel: is that better or worse then without the COP patch?
00:36:10LinuxMafiahi
00:36:12kugelbetter
00:36:17saratogaalso is this the event driven version?
00:36:20LinuxMafiai can not mount my sansa e200
00:36:27LinuxMafiasome one plz help me out
00:36:35saratogakugel: sounds good :)
00:36:36LambdaCalculus37gevaerts: Okay, let me add a few finishing touches and then I'll make a commit.
00:36:42pixelmaZagor: except that one part is taken from the tango icons project (which gives a license)
00:36:44LinuxMafiai fotmatted it but rockbox is still there
00:36:48kugelsaratoga: I also noticed that the cpu runs at 20% playing mp3, it's 50-60 without
00:37:10gevaertsLinuxMafia: what happens? What OS are you using?
00:37:20 Quit EspeonEefi (Read error: 104 (Connection reset by peer))
00:37:22LinuxMafiagevaerts, gentoo
00:37:30pixelmaLambdaCalculus37: could you also mention the alternate "fly" button and one sentence anout the menu (let's you chose level and quit) or something like this)?
00:37:38*gevaerts waits for the other part of the answer
00:37:39LinuxMafiagevaerts, it will be mount on windows , but not my linux any more
00:37:53LinuxMafiagevaerts, it is 2 days like that
00:38:03LambdaCalculus37pixelma: Alternate "fly" button?
00:38:15gevaertsIn that case it seems to me that there is something wrong with your gentoo install
00:38:33saratogakugel: this is the event driven patch or the old busywaiting one?
00:39:00LinuxMafiagevaerts, but i did not touch my gentoo , i did not update any thing, and it use to work 2 days ago
00:39:14LambdaCalculus37pixelma: Do you mean on the Ondio?
00:39:21pixelmaLambdaCalculus37: on many targets you can use one of two buttons to move the chopper - e.g. on Ondio that would be "Mode" additionally to "Up"
00:39:30pixelmait's not only the Ondio
00:39:38gevaertsLinuxMafia: in that case : what did you change on the player?
00:39:59gevaertsLinuxMafia: is it set to MSC mode?
00:40:09LinuxMafiagevaerts, nothing i just try to put a file and apperantly it was full
00:40:15LinuxMafiayeah it is MSC
00:40:22LambdaCalculus37pixelma: On the targets I have, there's only one fly button.
00:40:26gevaertsif you didn't change anything on either side, it would work
00:40:28LambdaCalculus37But I'll mention the Ondio.
00:40:41rasherpixelma: In that case, we're not living up to the "BY" part of the license. It should probably be in the theme config at the least
00:40:45pixelmaLambdaCalculus37: M5 it would be "Select" and "Up"

00:42:13LambdaCalculus37pixelma: Added.
00:42:15gevaertswhat will that change?
00:42:41LinuxMafiagevaerts, nothing i formatted it , but rockbox still is there
00:42:58gevaertsThen you didn't format it
00:43:27pixelmaLambdaCalculus37: nice, thanks :)
00:43:57LinuxMafiagevaerts, i went to recovery mode and put file named sansa.fmt
00:44:08LinuxMafiagevaerts, and it showed formatting
00:44:22LinuxMafiabut rockbox boot loader still there
00:44:45gevaertsyes, the bootloader. That's not what you said earlier
00:45:31LinuxMafiagevaerts, i need to update the actual firmware too
00:45:38LinuxMafiai downloaded it
00:45:54LinuxMafiabut could not update it
00:46:25gevaertsLinuxMafia: why didn't you just follow the uninstallation instructions in the manual?

00:54:23LinuxMafiai try to update kernel
00:54:28gevaertsAnd what happens on the e200 ?
00:54:42LinuxMafiajust tried to go to rockbox
00:55:00LinuxMafiabefore it used to go to the official one
00:55:51gevaertsAnd if you plug it in while running windows it works? Is that the same PC?

01:06:38gevaertsLinuxMafia: from what I understand the e200 is not a very good USB device. Maybe yours just got a little bit worse, which caused incompatibility with your PC and not with the other one
01:06:47gevaertsDo you have a USB hub somewhere?
01:06:49LambdaCalculus37Small question... since Pacbox doesn't build on the c200, I want to exclude it from the manual. How can I do that?

01:12:39LinuxMafiagevaerts, but why it works on windows
01:12:54gevaertsLinuxMafia: it doesn't "work on windows". It works on another PC
01:13:02saratogajhMikeS: maybe you can tell me what the minimum efficient read unit is [sector, block, whatever]

01:13:54saratogaand it reads how fast?
01:13:58Strife89gevaerts: All the same, why not try another Linux distro? We don't know for sure, 100%.....
01:14:25jhMikeSsaratoga: I don't know the actual rate but it's faster than the PP hard drives
01:14:31gevaertsWell, yes. The other option is that this gentoo install doesn't have USB drivers.

01:14:41saratogaany rough idea how many sectors a second it can do?

01:14:46jhMikeSI suppose test_disk would reveal that
01:14:51***Saving seen data "./dancer.seen"
01:14:52Strife89I say, when there's a problem, and you really want a solution, try every possible method, however far-fetched.
01:14:52 Part bobRoots ("[CyberScript]")
01:15:07mahacan i set my player to read the entirefile into ram before playing the song ?
01:15:37saratogajhMikeS: any chance its at least 10MB/s so that it can read 20k sectors a second?
01:15:38Strife89Doesn't Rockbox do that anyway?.....
01:16:03gevaertssaratoga: no. 4 or 5 at most
01:16:14gevaertsmaha: why?
01:16:17jhMikeSsaratoga: I just did a quick buffering test so that seems doubtful
01:16:19linuxstbmaha: No. What's the problem with the current way it works?
01:16:53linuxstbsaratoga: http://www.rockbox.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/DiskSpeed
01:17:07mahalinuxstb and gevaerts,i have a sansa e280 which has alot of background hiss caused by low quality build
01:17:28mahaeverytime the thng buffers, ill get some noise :/
01:18:03Strife89maha: That's an unfortunate problem with all Sansas, I believe......
01:18:23saratogajhMikeS: 10MB/s means we could modulate the read speed at 20khz, and noise shape most of the drive access noise out of the audiable band
01:18:24*jhMikeS got beat to the punch by linuxstb :)
01:18:59*gevaerts thinks that saratoga is slightly insane ;)
01:19:03Strife89maha: It seems the CPU lets some noise leak whenever it's processing.
01:19:10jhMikeSI think aligned reads just barely make the cut
01:19:10Strife89Correct me if I'm wrong.
01:19:11gevaertsNice idea though.
01:19:17saratogathat page says 9.7MB/s which is 19900 sectors a second
01:19:55gevaertssaratoga: actually, from what I understand the SD interface uses 32 byte blocks. I could be wrong though
01:20:09mahaStrife89 well, ok.. are there players which dont have leaks ?
01:20:15saratogaif we paused every other sector for the duration of the transfer time of one sector we would half the read speed, but shift much of the noise to ultrasonic frequencies
01:20:31*jhMikeS 's e260 isn't extremely noisy
01:20:41saratogathe noise depends on the headphones
01:20:48saratogaits rather loud on mine
01:20:51Strife89maha: Just about every other target doesn't have the noise problem as far as I'm aware.
01:20:57jhMikeS16-ohm headphones = more noise?
01:21:06saratogaits the sensitivity mainly
01:21:09mahawtf :/
01:21:20saratogahigher sensitivity means the noise power translates into higher acoustic power
01:21:26Strife89My Sansa c250 makes a little noise, but it does't bother me.
01:21:38mahathat SUCKS. i only bought this sansa cause it could run rb /:
01:21:53Strife89maha: Have you messed with the EQ?
01:21:58jhMikeSsaratoga: I've tested x5 remote ticking with 16-ohm vs. 32-ohm and 16-ohm makes it almost unsurpressable so that's why it came to mind
01:22:13mahaStrife89 nope..
01:22:33saratogaof course, 20k/sectors a second means we can modulate with at best a 10khz, meaning that some of the noise will remain in band
01:22:35mahai dont know how to get this noise into a wav so i could analyze it
01:22:39Strife89maha: Ah, never mind, then.
01:22:43jhMikeSsaratoga: Yes, I do know some are ridiculously efficient.
01:23:03Strife89maha: Line out to a PC sound card.....
01:23:22saratogaunless we could reduce the transfer time per sector, perhaps by exploiting the fact that half the time would be idle
01:23:24jhMikeSMost noise for me comes from the backlight however
01:23:28mahaStrife89 i dont have the required connectors :(
01:23:48Strife89maha: What do you mean?
01:23:58jhMikeSsaratoga: there was a note in the driver about issuing a certain command before a transfer
01:24:22mahaStrife89 its uh the input-output cable which i dont have
01:24:31saratogajhMikeS: I flipped through the dirver, but since I don't understand SD or how the rockbox disk driver interface works it didn't make the least bit of sense to me
01:24:34Strife89maha: Just get a dual male 1/8" cable. Hook one end into your Sansa and the other into the Line In or Microphone jack on your PC.
01:24:41jhMikeSsaratoga: one thing, is the noise problem unique to rockbox or are we trying to improve upon OF?
01:24:50saratogajhMikeS: its in both
01:24:56Strife89maha: The cables can be found almost anywhere, dirt-cheap.
01:25:21mahaStrife89 yeah, thats what dnt have.. and its too far for me to travelto a store
01:25:47jhMikeSsaratoga: I wonder if killing-off busy waiting that keep the core active and using interrupts to fill the FIFO would be an answer.
01:26:01Strife89maha: You might find one online.
01:26:23saratogajhMikeS: I don't get any noise unless a disk transfer is active, so I don't think the CPU matters much
01:26:53saratogais suspect its a lack of filtering between the DAC power supply line and the NAND/SD interface
01:27:22LambdaCalculus37Can someone tell me if this \nopt is correct? http://pastebin.com/m2c14274a
01:27:25saratogasince the noise is independent of amplifier volume, and thus likely riding in on the power line and not the DAC itself
01:27:36jhMikeSsaratoga: ah, ok. how would you modulate anything with any regularity?
01:28:13saratogaidle every other transfer for the duration of one average transfer
01:28:23saratogabefore sending the next read command
01:28:39MarcGuayLambdaCalculus37: I've never don't a nested \nopt like that. Does it throw an error when you build?
01:29:18MarcGuayLambdaCalculus37: And even if it worked I think you might need to move some braces around.
01:29:56jhMikeSsaratoga: I guess udelay is your friend there. It hardly seems much work to try it out.
01:30:20*MarcGuay scratches that last bit...
01:30:30Strife89Any of ya'll know of the Mikmod patch?
01:30:31saratogajhMikeS: could you suggest where the udelay needs to go and for how long?
01:31:08saratogai suppse 1/19900 of a second would be a good first guess for the delay
01:31:38jhMikeSsaratoga: in the FIFO block read loop?
01:31:43 Nick fxb is now known as fxb__ (n=felixbru@h1252615.stratoserver.net)
01:32:09jhMikeSI guess 6uS
01:32:39jhMikeS19900*8 blocks / sec
01:32:51saratogajhMikeS: any reason the FIFO is 64 bytes and not 512 bytes?
01:33:02Strife89The Mikmod patch (FS #8806) works wonderfully well. :)
01:33:19jhMikeSsaratoga: it should be 16 2-byte words
01:33:34saratogaoh i assumed a word was 4 bytes
01:33:49saratogaso the interface uses 32 byte transfers but the nand itself is 512 byte?
01:33:50jhMikeSits half-word sized reads/writes
01:34:12jhMikeSThe NAND has configurable block size
01:34:13LambdaCalculus37Argh, why don't manuals build on my system!?
01:35:01saratogawould copy_read_sectors_fast be a good place for the delay?
01:35:04jhMikeSIt may have a minimum block size; that's somewhere in the spec somewhere
01:35:21jhMikeSsaratoga: could be, or in the loop that calls it
01:36:11saratogaso in theory we could blink this on and off at a faster rate by using smaller transfers then 512 bytes?
01:36:52jhMikeSin copy_read_sectors_fast it will work in 32-byte chunks
01:37:32saratogaeven better
01:38:34LambdaCalculus37MarcGuay: I'm going to exclude adding the \nopt for Pacbox on the c200 manual for now and just commit what I have right now.
01:38:41 Quit Strife89 ("Bye, guys!")
01:38:49*LambdaCalculus37 will figure it out later and add it when he has a better understanding of it
01:39:43pixelmaLambdaCalculus37: I don't think that would work - did you test compile? If at all I'd expect it to look something like this: \opt{h1xx,m5,lcd_color}{\nopt{c200}{\input{plugins/pacbox.tex}}}
01:40:24pixelmayour \nopt looks definitely wrong. But as I said I'm not sure if nesting like this works in general, would need to try myself
01:41:39saratogajhMikeS: what is copy_read_sectors_fast actually copying from?
01:41:47saratogasome sort of internal buffer or bus?

01:49:12jhMikeSerr...reverse that
01:50:22saratogawhat does the FIFO do exactly?
01:50:23jhMikeSThe FIFO starts at &DATA_REG (0x70008280)
01:50:32saratogaso its a hardware device?
01:50:45jhMikeSStores the last 16 words read in from the NAND
01:51:11jhMikeSit's a SoC hardware module, yes
01:51:29jhMikeSthere's also an external chip + actual NAND device
01:51:29saratogaso reading from the FIFO is as close to controling the NAND output as I can get?
01:51:51jhMikeSpretty much
01:52:10jhMikeSperhaps it's possible to clock it at another speed
01:53:03saratogaplaying with the timings and test_disk, it does seem that different transfer rates corrispond to significantly different pitches of noise
01:53:59saratogai guess the trick will be picking the one that gives ultrasound

01:58:23saratogaalright cool
01:58:30saratogagood to know theres an improvement in battery life
01:58:40saratogaany idea how much roughly
01:59:24saratogajhMikeS: it could be my imagintion, but it seemed like playing with delays did change the tone of the various disk tests, but i'll need to wiat until i have enough free time to sit around doing measurements and ffts to be sure
01:59:32kugelno, sorry. Although The last time I tested with my build (110~kbit/s OGG, NO default settings) I got 14h
01:59:36saratogasome of them were extremely high pitched too
01:59:42saratogaothers quite low pitched
02:00
02:00:09jhMikeSsaratoga: perhaps it is beats?
02:00:17saratogayes i think it does
02:00:38saratogathe actual noise spectrum is likely quite low frequency, and the duration of the pulse simply reshapes it across the spectrum

02:04:19LloreanSomething to do with his use of it for school work too.
02:05:58saratogaactually, I guess it could be a high frequency noise too, and modulation already built into the SD controller as it transfers things shifts it down to base band
02:06:14saratogafixing this isn't going to be as simple as I'd imagined
02:07:04MarcGuayLlorean: I guess we assume that Mr. Kaufman he got permission?

02:10:47*jhMikeS still has to figure out how to make the 'beast charging super tolerant and picky at the same time :\
02:11:17linuxstbReading the forums, it seems that senab didn't explicitly say any license originally, and then decided on a restrictive license - http://forums.rockbox.org/index.php?topic=10606.0
02:11:45saratogajhMikeS: also a dumb question, how do I adjust what the boost clock speed is on the Sansa? changing CPU_FREQ in config-e200 didn't seem to have the effect I expected when I tried it the other day
02:12:14linuxstbMarcGuay: I don't think DeanMurray has the right to grant rights to slant. We should just graveyard it IMO.
02:12:20MarcGuayjhMikeS: Is there any risk in using the S charging patch as it is?
02:12:22jhMikeSsaratoga: to change PLL settings?\
02:12:24LloreanMarcGuay: That on its own really isn't good enough. Try contacting Senab through the forums?
02:12:50jhMikeSMarcGuay: there shouldn't be any risk involved.
02:12:52LloreanjhMikeS: Why does it need to be super tolerant?
02:12:55saratogajhMikeS: i was timing the execution of loops and measuring power, and it didn't seem to change the timing or power consumption of a loop
02:12:57MarcGuaylinuxstb: Does the date that he switched the license matter or is it backwards compatible?
02:13:22linuxstbI don't think so, as he never explicitly mentioned a license before then (afaics)
02:13:48MarcGuayjhMikeS: I'll let you know if I find anything funky. Just rolled with it.
02:13:49jhMikeSLlorean: race conditions with plugging/unplugging are completely unavoidable so errors caused by that need to be detected and ignored
02:13:50LloreanMarcGuay: It matters, technically. Anything prior to the date he licensed it isn't under the old license, so if an image was removed prior to the change (for example) that image can't be reused.
02:14:12LloreanBut generally, I think it's safe to assume he meant the licensing retroactive unless he removed some stuff at the same time (logos of his or something)
02:14:57jhMikeSsaratoga: Changing the #define won't change the PLL setup.

05:20:54deltHello
05:21:38deltWhat files in the source code should i modify so that the firmware doesn't try to load .MOD files, but rather use the mikmod plugin to play them?
05:22:18delti edited out all references to MOD format i could find in firmware/id3.c and other files, and removed the codecs/mod.codec

05:27:34MarcGuaydelt: Perhaps searching the subversion history for keywords like "mod" will turn up the change that did the opposite of what you want. And you can simply revert that. Does Mikmod have an advantage over the codec?
05:27:48MarcGuaySearching the closed tracker tasks may also prove useful...
05:28:02deltyeah, more complete and less buggy
05:28:15deltand more consistent with playing other mod formats
05:28:33MarcGuayAre there bugs with the codec? Other mod's meaning .s3m/.it/etc?

09:39:54LloreanI've done a little on my own. Others have discussed it much more, though the last time I looked at the proposal I honestly felt parts of it made things worse.
09:40:10GodEaterI just meant the map of the current menus
09:40:15GodEaternot an effort to improve them
09:40:40LloreanOh, no, I never mapped them. I considered doing it, and at the time found someone had already mapped them out fully at the time.
09:41:10*GodEater suspects it probably needs doing again
09:42:03LloreanMaybe I can make that a goal for 3.1, a reorganized menu system.

09:48:20LloreanI was just curious about Bass/Treble/Equalizer/Volume, and which targets get those for headphones, which for line out, and where they're different between targets.
09:49:19 Quit goffa_ (Read error: 110 (Connection timed out))
09:49:23pixelmavolume is definitely seperate
09:53:58pixelmathe only volume change I notice when adjusting from the WPS is that it mutes, as soon as it above that I get line level through the line-out
09:55:33LloreanI'm wondering if it would make sense to split "Sound Settings" into "Headphones" "Line Out" and "All Sound" and only show the options in each that only affect that category.
09:55:46LloreanFor example, on h120, you can't separate effects for Line Out vs Headphones
09:56:02LloreanWhile on the iPods I believe you can control the dock line out completely independently of the headphone output in all aspects.
09:56:26LloreanMeanwhile digital effects like the equalizer, I believe, go to both anyway since it's done before the audio gets to the DAC.
09:59:09peturon h1x0/h3x0, the headphone/line-out split is done at the end stage of the DAC (maybe the headphone amp is attached to the line-out?), so there's not much to split
09:59:39peturand what's wrong with controlling bass/treble on the line-out?
10:00
10:00:53Lloreanpetur: Nothing specific.
10:01:04LloreanMy point is more "its not clear to users which effects happen on a line out, and which don't"
10:01:12LloreanEspecially if it differs from target to target.
10:01:37LloreanAnd some simple sorting of the menus might help clarify this, at the cost (as always) of added complexity navigating them.
10:01:48peturif we split this up, it should only be done for targets where it matters...
10:02:33LloreanYes.
10:02:59LloreanIf all settings always apply, then you just have "Sound Settings" without a subcategory
10:03:46JdGordonarg, then we have #ifdef hell in the menus...
10:04:27pixelmawe could make one menu item simpler ... the bookmarks ;)
10:04:41 Quit funman_ (Read error: 110 (Connection timed out))
10:04:45JdGordonwould be nicer if someone would fix the DSP so every setting works on every target, but the ones whic h can do it in hardware do it there, and the ones that cant do it in the DSP
10:05:02*JdGordon is working on bookmarks... sort of... not much rockbox time atm :(
10:05:23LloreanJdGordon: Even if every setting worked on all targets, ones that do it in hardware would inevitably not always do it the same.
10:05:40LloreanFor example, on iPods and iAudios "Volume" doesn't adjust the line out level, while on the H100/H300 it does adjust the line out level.
10:05:53JdGordon:(
10:06:24LloreanIn the future a target with an actual hardware EQ might choose not to apply it to the line out, or might even had an independent one for the line out
10:06:41LloreanLike I believe iPods have an independent gain we can set for the line out, we just currently set it at 0.
10:07:51peturwouldn't it be enough to have a different text description in the lang file for those targets?
10:08:22LloreanThat would help some, yeah.
10:09:39*Llorean wants to know if Bass/Treble affects line out on all targets.

13:31:17linuxstbHave we decided which targets will be in the 3.0 release? Or rather, which targets with current builds will be excluded?
13:31:38B4gdernot really, no

13:39:07LloreanIt'll probably just happen similar to how the feature freeze started.
13:39:44LloreanA few of us wait for the rest of you guys to be asleep, then declare our own list of targets when there's nobody around to object to it. :-P
13:40:04*gevaerts will stay awake the entire week
13:40:14LloreanThough as far as I'm aware it's only really a matter of discussion for a couple players anyway.
13:40:19*B4gder will just wipe the server clean
13:40:44LloreanWe could just post to -dev or such and have a quick vote on 1G2G and iAudio M3 was it?
13:41:07B4gderyes, at least one of the two users might reply :-]

13:41:41B4gderthanks!
13:41:53LloreanI think it's pretty safe to leave out both of those.
13:42:07LloreanThey have quirks that I think go beyond "quirk" to "significant annoyance to regular users"
13:43:10LloreanAnd userbases so small it's possible nobody will even notice they were left out.
13:43:26gevaertsI think the lack of manual for the M3 alone is enough to disqualify it
13:43:34B4gderah indeed
13:44:01LloreanThat is a pretty major point against it. :)

13:45:23*linuxstb would have liked all current builds to be included, but the lack of users likely to notice is a strong enough argument...
13:45:47Lloreanlinuxstb: The M3 requires shenanigans in order to charge at all.
13:46:01LloreanIt doesn't really even have a normally accessible OF charging, or ability to charge while off IIUC.
13:46:16pixelmaand it's not properly documented...
13:46:30linuxstbYes, the lack of a manual is a show-stopper in itself.
13:46:35pixelmathe charging trick I meant
13:46:37*B4gder pushes M3 out of the warm and comfy release pool
13:46:44gevaertsSo it's in about the same state as the beast
13:47:29Lloreangevaerts: At least the beast can be made dual boot, then charged easily.
13:47:49LloreanNot for the regular user, I'll admit. But it's at least possible.
13:48:11B4gderwell, I'd say a manual is a requirement for release
13:48:22gevaertsLlorean: exactly, and we don't even consider that port done
13:48:22*Llorean kinda likes the bootloader cookie idea for the 1G2G as a way to make them behave at least in a way a user can figure out.
13:49:07pixelmaI don't see much difference in knowing how to boot into the OF for charging (and that you need to) and knowing how to get to the charging mode on M3 - you just need the howto on both

13:50:37gevaertsIf the charging is documented, it can be released and supported. But there's no manual to document it in...
13:51:48LloreanThe charging requires the presence of a PC even though it has a separate charger, right?
13:52:28 Join svpe [0] (n=svpe@p54905AAC.dip.t-dialin.net)
13:53:26pixelmayes, IIRC one needs to insert the charger while connected to USB. Then you can disconnect USB and it'll stay in the OF's charging screen
13:54:06 Join fyrestorm [0] (n=fyre@cpe-68-173-169-52.nyc.res.rr.com)
13:54:15pixelmayou could also charge from USB but this is slow because the OF keeps the disk spinning during the USB data connection
13:57:23amiconnActually it's not the OF, but the cowon loader. M3/M5/X5 have no dualboot
13:59:00peturwasn't there a dualboot proposal for X5?
13:59:13petura new one, that is - less hackish
13:59:17pixelmayep, even a patch
14:00
14:00:34*Llorean brought it up at DevCon, or tried to.
14:01:02LloreanI think LinusN said he wanted to look at it, see exactly what it was doing, but got distracted by the H300 issues.
14:01:55B4gderwe need monthly devcons!
14:03:17LloreanQuarterly release planning DevCons! We split the difference.
14:03:31*petur gives Llorean an angry look. Don't blame h300
14:04:54Lloreanpetur: I'm not blaming it. It certainly takes higher priority.
14:05:06LloreanGoal 1 of the bootloader is to actually boot. Our X5 one at least does that still. :)
14:05:14LloreanActually, maybe it doesn't.
14:05:25*Llorean doesn't actually know about current SVN builds of it.

14:59:05*linuxstb moves here from #rockbox-community and would agree that FS #9354 is a bug, or at the very least a questionable design choice - fade should/could happen in the background, not controlled by the UI thread in a blocking way
14:59:29LinusNthat is a remnant from the archos days
14:59:37LinusNa hack
14:59:51linuxstbYes, I realise that.
14:59:58*Llorean personally really hates the fade.
14:59:59LloreanOh.
15:00
15:00:08LloreanFor 3.0, do we want to consider changing some of the setting defaults?
15:00:28LloreanFor example, a default of dircache on, or a higher amount for the max dirsize, or fade being disabled by default?
15:01:20linuxstbI wouldn't object - people have long been suggesting dircache should be on by default. I also think any database-related settings should be set to make database use as automatic as possible.
15:01:26LinusNhigher dirsize on modern targets is a good idea
15:01:38LinusNi agree
15:01:46LloreanI think if dircache is good enough that we're willing to include it in the release, it's good enough to be enabled by default even if it has a few quirks.
15:02:25linuxstbWhat is the current dirsize? 400?
15:02:28LloreanAnd I think database should have everything default set up to be automatic so all a user needs to do is initialize it the first time.
15:02:30LloreanI believe so.
15:02:33linuxstbAnd that affects playlist size as well?
15:02:39LloreanPlaylist size is separate.
15:02:48LloreanI think.

15:17:44LloreanDisks don't really corrupt themselves.
15:18:09LloreanSomething has to happen, somewhere. Bad software can corrupt any sort of filesystem. So can hardware failures, or interrupted transfers, or etc.
15:18:31BlueAidan_workall I can say is that it went from working fine to no music / errors when copying in one day
15:18:54LloreanMeanwhile, MP3 players are, mostly, read-often-write-few devices and the extra overhead of a more complex filesystem is pretty wasteful.

15:30:02GodEaterno idea if it's true though
15:30:09LambdaCalculus37pixelma: Files transferred via MTP are stuck into a hidden folder on the Sansa, and are easily discoverable.
15:30:35LambdaCalculus37The Gigabeat S does a similar thing: all content transferred via MTP is just simply shuffled into a /Content folder on the root of the main partition.
15:30:37pixelmanah, the Music folder is always hidden even if you use MSC mode

16:45:17dionoeayou check the firmware version number
16:45:48dionoeav1 is 1.* and v2 is 3.* if i remember correctly
16:46:03GodEaterv1 is the one you want
16:46:10GodEaterv2 doesn't work with Rockbox (yet)
16:46:29AndyCRIs there any way to tell before buying?
16:46:39AndyCROutward appearance changes, etc?
16:47:09dionoeanot that I know
16:47:15dionoearecent versions tend to be v2
16:47:30dionoeaalthough I bough a new v1 3 months ago in the netherlands
16:48:10GodEaterthe firmware revision is the only reliable way to tell
16:48:31AndyCRSince the only reason I would buy the device would be because of rockbox support, perhaps the best way is to buy one used and have the person check the firmware for me before I buy it
16:48:41dionoeathat sounds like a good idea
16:48:43{phoenix}I've bought unfortunately the v2. On the box you can't can see this
16:48:57AndyCRDo you know how close support for the v2 model is to being implemented?
16:49:14AndyCRI hear Sandisk freely gave specs for v1, but then changed it's mind with v2
16:49:45{phoenix}but I can see on the back of the mp3-player: model: e260v2
16:50:26AndyCRah, interesting
16:50:32gevaertsAndyCR: if you're in the US, have a look at www.froobi.com. They sell refurbished players and they test for v1 vs v2

16:50:45GodEaterand vice-versa

16:55:27AndyCRalso, I'm curious about the development process
16:55:44AndyCROne of the reasons I want to use rockbox is because it's open source

16:56:19LambdaCalculus37AndyCR: If we wrote it, we should know, right? ;)
16:56:20AndyCRThanks, I'll look
16:56:26GodEaterbits of the code are clean, bits of it are less so ;)
16:56:33svpeimho it's quite nice. (and i didn't wrote it :p)

16:56:43AndyCR:)
16:56:46LambdaCalculus37There's some spots that do need some fixing up.
16:56:48AndyCRSo what compiler do you use?
16:56:53LambdaCalculus37gcc.
16:57:06Nico_PGodEater: hehe, it has gotten better
16:57:10AndyCRDo you have to do development from Linux, or can you compile from Windows as well?
16:57:16GodEaterNico_P: still not bug free though right ? :)
16:57:22Nico_Pnot quite
16:57:34GodEaterAndyCR: you need a posix like environment
16:57:42GodEaterwhich on windows means one of three options
16:57:47GodEatercygwin, vmware, or colinux
16:57:59AndyCRThanks. I'll check out the source
16:58:25AndyCRI don't suppose there's an emulator of some kind to test rockbox on a PC?
16:58:33GodEateryes :)
16:58:39GodEaterwe have simulator builds
16:58:42AndyCR:) You seem to have all the bases covered
16:58:57GodEateranyone know if rasher's builds are up to date ?

17:02:40GodEatergood to know
17:02:40Nico_Pthere is still a long way to go before it can be said to be nice and clean

17:17:52AndyCRRunning the simulator, and it's very nice. I like it a lot. I do have an issue, though. If I select a video file, it plays the audio from it in the audio player but no video. Is that just a simulator issue? It seems like it's just a plugin missing
17:18:43LambdaCalculus37AndyCR: The Mpegplayer plugin is included with every build that supports it. What kind of video file are you trying to play?

17:19:29AndyCRThe AVI file didn't show up in the file browser
17:19:30GodEaterRockbox only supports Mpeg1/2
17:19:32skatteolaI'm having some trouble with using meizu_dfu for my meizu m6 on an ibook running osx.. any known limitations? :)
17:19:38AndyCRAh. That's why. Thanks.
17:20:05GodEaterand .mp4 is one of the extensions rockbox expects for aac files iirc
17:20:16skatteolaMaybe just the fact that I'm trying to load a m6sl rockboot.ebn on it? :p
17:20:37markunskatteola: is it a PPC ibook?
17:20:51skatteolayeah, it is.. endian trouble?
17:20:56markunyes
17:20:57LambdaCalculus37AndyCR: There's a page on the wiki explaining the Mpegplayer plugin, and also how you can transcode videos to the proper MPEG1/2 format Rockbox uses.
17:21:13GodEaterAndyCR: we even recommend a couple of tools for doing that
17:21:18markunskatteola: I fixed it on my ibook (running linux) but forgot to commit
17:21:30markunI'll try to do it tonight

17:21:44skatteolaah, ok, sounds great :) thanks
17:21:51LambdaCalculus37AndyCR: No problem. :)
17:22:16LambdaCalculus37markun: On that note, I was also having some trouble with meizu_dfu on my PowerBook as well (PPC).
17:22:26markunskatteola: btw, I had to make some changes on my PC running FreeBSD, so you might get into the same problems
17:22:56markunLambdaCalculus37: any luck with the nano yet?
17:23:28skatteolaWhat kind of changes? It seems to progress nicely until it comes to the "while (dfu_ret[4] != 0x07)" loop after having written the file
17:23:47markunskatteola: I had to disable the get_cpu() calls
17:23:55LambdaCalculus37markun: Can't do anything with the endian troubles with meizu_dfu, and I haven't had a chance to try an alternate solution yet.
17:24:16markunso if you get past that I guess it's just the endian issue
17:24:26markunskatteola: are you planning to work on the port?
17:24:35skatteolathe get_cpu() calls seems to be working fine indeed
17:25:05gevaertsmarkun: I'm pretty sure the get_cpu()s are not needed, except of course if you want to use the result
17:25:35skatteolaI'm certainly somewhat interested in it, but both knowledge and time might be in a bit lacking at the moment so at this time I'm just interested in getting the toolchain and all working I guess :)

17:44:31AndyCRI got video working, thanks
17:45:12AndyCROn a side note, is smooth video possible, or is the hardware just too low-powered to manage it? I notice the video is a bit choppy; not unusably so, just curious whether it can be improved

17:47:50 Join domonoky [0] (n=Domonoky@rockbox/developer/domonoky)
17:51:09LambdaCalculus37AndyCR: Some of the supported platforms (PortalPlayer-based targets like the iPod, for example) aren't powerful enough to handle video playback at full speed.
17:51:26LambdaCalculus37The iPod video is especially slow at video playback.
17:55:44AndyCRI'm running the Sansa E200 simulator
17:55:52Unhelpfulfor iPod video you're really better off using the official firmware for video playback
17:58:23markunAndyCR: better try it on the e200 itself
17:59:23LambdaCalculus37AndyCR: markun is right. The hardware itself will give you a much better estimate of video performance.

18:01:45AndyCRThe manufacturer firmware uses some terrible "motion jpeg" format that I'm extremely leery of, so i would much prefer to use rockbox if it's at all possible
18:02:43LambdaCalculus37AndyCR: On the e200, I would give it a 3.5 out of 5 (my honest opinion). Not to shabby for animation, but may not be so great for live-action stuff.

18:04:09AndyCR(Though I wonder whether the battery would hold out for that kind of usage...)
18:05:01LambdaCalculus37AndyCR: It all depends. Some people can, and some can't. There's not really a set "everyone can take it" on watching videos on the Sansa's screen.
18:05:44markunAndyCR: here you can see what kind of framerate to expect: http://www.rockbox.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/PluginMpegplayer#Performance
18:05:56AndyCRI see they're about $40 used, so it's a good deal if it's decent
