01:01:45jhMikeSsaratoga: the COP doesn't seem to be doing much. the thread always shows "B". :)
01:02:16jhMikeSit's working in any case
01:02:41danfuhryok, two questions that i can't seem to find on google or the wiki: a) can rockbox read from ext3 filesystems (3rd gen iPod 40GB), and b) can i disable the automatic reboot when a USB/FireWire connection is detected (didn't see an option in settings)?
01:03:47saratogajhMikeS: which target?
01:04:07jhMikeSsaratoga: e260. it's got about 1.5% boost (but I have tone controls on)
01:04:21jhMikeSoops make that 1.1%
01:04:52saratogathats from the buffering thread debug screen?
01:05:29booster606toffe82, do you have any files for the philips gogears that i can take a look at...im tying to get a better understanding on how it works
01:05:36jhMikeSyes. and I was watching OS Stacks. the CPU still seems pretty loaded judging from plugin behavior
01:06:20saratogathe buffering thread screen uses 5 or 6MHz on top of the usual playback, so that sounds about right
01:06:21saratogaunless youv'e changed the code
01:07:46BigBambidanfuhry: a) FAT16/32 only b) Only by editing the code
01:07:59jhMikeSsaratoga: no, no code changes. The COP thread is hardly running at all since I can't ever catch an "R". the buffering thread consumes that much even when not buffering? wtf.
01:08:20saratogajhMIkeS: it updates like 10 or 20 times a second on that screen
01:08:35BigBambidanfuhry: Unless by b) you mean you want it to charge instead, then yes, check the manual for the key required
01:08:43*BigBambi crosses fingers that it is in there
01:09:50saratogajhMikeS: what does B mean anyway?
01:09:56jhMikeSsaratoga: it feels like more processing should move over to COP
01:09:57toffe82Check the wiki for sigmatelbooster606: no luck the processor is a sigmatel stmp, there several other player with this kind of processor and nothing had be done yet.
01:10:22saratogayes ideally whichever core isn't running the GUI should be slightly overworked
01:10:42jhMikeSsaratoga: *R=running, B=blocked, T=blocked with timeout, S=sleeping, + = boosted
01:11:33saratogajhMikeS: right now we're using about 15-20MHz of that cores time, so I'm not sure why its always blocked
01:12:27jhMikeSsaratoga: it's obviously finishing its work quickly and waiting most of the time which the codec thread is rather active
01:12:39jhMikeSs/which/while
01:12:50toffe82booster606: Check the wiki for sigmatel
01:13:08booster606toffe82, ok thanks
01:15:05saratogajhMikeS: since we got an almost 90% speedup, I don't think its finishing its work much more quickly then the CPU
01:15:06jhMikeSsaratoga: I haven't even caught a "B" on the codec thread yet. Always "*R" with occasional "S".
01:15:47saratogawhy does it block anyway? shouldn't it be sleeping?
01:17:45jhMikeSsaratoga: S = what you get by calling sleep(). B/T = any condition that halts a thread for explicit wakeup (semaphore not signaled).

03:28:59saratogajhMikeS: I'm not sure I understand your question on the tracker
03:29:11jhMikeSsaratoga: the libmad stages are CPU:parse->decode-> COP:synth->pcm ??
03:29:25saratogasomething like that:
03:29:47saratogathe CPU does all the decoding up to the synth filter, then passes it to the cop and meanwhile begins working on the next frame
03:30:18saratogawhen the next frame is done it gets the PCM from the synth filter and passes it out to the codec interface, and then hands off the current frame to the synth filter

03:43:26jhMikeSsaratoga: I suppose I'm seeing that there will be a stepping in involved instead of full parallelism
03:43:53saratogajhMikeS: yes the system is basically a circular pipeline
03:44:57 Quit setkeh (Success)
03:45:27jhMikeStrue, but I'm not seeing the concurrent part since once you wait for PCM it means codec can't proceed without the previously decoded block
03:45:56saratogajhMikeS: it doesn't wait for the PCM until its already IMDCTed the next frame
03:46:14saratogaso basically the entropy decode and IMDCT happen in paralell with the synth filter
03:46:57 Nick JdGordon|zzz is now known as JdGordon (n=jonno@rockbox/developer/JdGordon)
03:46:59saratogaor rather the decode and imdct of the N+1 frame are in parallel with the synth of the N frame

03:49:34saratogai think if we wanted to move towards more use of the COP, a great first step would be to make the function for inserting into the PCM buffer COP safe, then it would be quite trivial to multithread most of our codecs
03:50:25saratogathat function being pcmbuf_insert

03:51:31Unhelpfulwould a lock to be held around modifying the data be sufficient, or is there something more complex involved because the code runs on the COP
03:51:32jhMikeSsaratoga: that's isn't really much trouble
03:52:17jhMikeSUnhelpful: I'll look at #9312 asap. I kind of wanted to take that code and make it better in general.
03:53:16 Quit d1sturb ("—I-n-v-i-s-i-o-n— 3.0 (March '08)")
03:53:26jhMikeSsaratoga: huffman/IMDCT is in the decode portion?
03:53:34saratogajhMikeS: yeah
03:53:49saratogasynth is litearally just a reverse sub band decomposition, nothing more
03:54:17jhMikeSand then synth takes subbands to produce the final waveform?
03:54:26saratogaexactly
03:57:20saratogai think if pcmbuf_insert were made thread safe. we could just have the IMDCT library run on the cop and put samples into the pcm buffer without need for complicated synchronization
03:57:42saratogaas a bonus, it looks like pcmbuf_insert also handles most of the DSP stuff, sot hat would further reduce load on the main cpu
03:57:56saratogaof course it would also mean that most of the DSP stuff would need fixing
04:00
04:00:49jhMikeSit's the DSP and codec that should happen in parallel I think. SPC does that.
04:01:34saratogawhat DSP stuff does it do in parallel?
04:02:55jhMikeSthe core DSP does the previous frame processing (resampling to 44100, tone controls, etc.) while the EMU produces the next set of samples.
04:03:19saratogathese are effects internal to the SPC codec or part of the rockbox DSP engine?
04:03:27jhMikeSinternal to the codec
04:03:32saratogaah ok
04:03:37saratogawas thinking you meant EQ, etc
04:04:00jhMikeSyeah, EQ is done in parallel with EMU
04:04:21saratogaoh i see
04:04:41 Part pixelma
04:04:51saratogaso the builk of the main codec is on the COP, and effects are done by the DSP engine on the main cpu?
04:05:32jhMikeSEMU spits out samples, release the samples and goes to work on the next frame, codec picks up the released frame, and does the DSP/pcm insert
04:05:51saratogacodec runs on the CPU then?
04:06:28jhMikeSthe emulator runs 100% on cop, codec thread is on CPU handling the DSP/insert/fade out
04:06:48saratogathat would be interesting to try with mp3
04:06:50jhMikeSCPU handles the metadata and other misc. junk as well
04:07:06saratogai assume the CPU is still needed to request data from the audio buffer?
04:07:54jhMikeSat this point, yes. there would be caching issues but the SPC codec handles that itself
04:08:15jhMikeSbeing an atomic format the problem is pretty minimal
04:09:29saratogai realize the COP can't call read_filebuf directly, but are there still issues with teh data it returns?
04:09:30jhMikeSmpegplayer got around all that stuff by just having an altogether uncached file buffer which didn't really hurt anything
04:09:58saratogadoes it return an actual pointer to the file buffer, or a memcpy of it
04:10:26saratogai'm wondering what happens if the buffering thread spins up while the other core is entrpy decoding data returned by read_filebuf
04:10:35jhMikeSsaratoga: pointers
04:10:56 Join jhulst [0] (n=jhulst@unaffiliated/jhulst)
04:11:02saratogaso the front end of the codec cannot be done in parallel with buffering?
04:11:28jhMikeSif it wants a copy (to stitch packets together) it does so on the respective thread
04:12:05saratogaso the main CPU after calling read_filebuf has to memcpy that data at some point before passing it to the COP
04:12:43jhMikeSsaratoga: it could be if the buffering code doesn't have race conditions. if it does, we'll find them in trying that. :)
04:13:42saratogai have to admit, I like the idea of doing the backend of codecs and DSP on COP
04:13:46delttechnically SPC isn't a codec, it's a file format
04:13:56saratogayeah we know
04:14:04deltjust being a smartass (:
04:14:20jhMikeSsaratoga: for SPC, it loads a program into the EMU. for mpegplayer the process is very different since the threads assemble packets into elementary streams and the streaming layer can split the elementary stream anywhere.
04:14:54deltjust wanted to ask: when is the version 3 release?
04:15:29jhMikeSwell, nearly. some stuff is unbreakable to make it seekable.
04:17:02 Quit Thundercloud (Remote closed the connection)
04:17:11saratogaI think all of our main codecs [excepting MP3, APE and AAC+] now take under 40mhz, and many are pushing under 30MHz, so splitting by the backend transform [typically 15MHz] and DSP [typically 3-???MHz] onto COP gives about 15MHz of free time to the CPU without boosting
04:17:42jhMikeSsaratoga: running core DSP on CPU seems to be a good thing. SPC has two PCM outputs in a FIFO arrangement and the EMU can produce two frames before being blocked.
04:18:37jhMikeSthat's the thing, the inherent loading of the codec itself leads to different optimal ways
04:19:08saratogayeah
04:19:17saratogai'm definately biased towards WMA/AAC/Ogg
04:19:26jhMikeSWAV would be best to have the whole thing on COP. SPC which is power hungry does better with a DSP/EMU split.
04:19:37saratogasince theres a very natural place to split those

04:22:10jhMikeSsaratoga: what can I say. apparently we get both. using the full hardware ability.
04:22:23saratogasure but we can get more of one or the other
04:23:45saratogaif we load things just right, we can lower the CPU core clock to 24MHz and save more power while still having an ok GUI responsiveness
04:24:09saratogaor we could aim a little higher, keep the clock at 30mhz, and not have such a sharp battery penalty for using the DSP

08:00:30Davide-NYCmuch deserved.

08:01:09Davide-NYCof course

08:04:22jhMikeSI think that was a bug the S was renound for...quite stupid of them to ever force-format the device

08:07:23Davide-NYCnothing noted on the device, but Windows will complain that the device cannot be unmounted (at first) so I wait and unmount the second time *seemingly* successfully.

08:10:04jhMikeSactually, I"m not sure it's all of them but it's a familiar problem beyond the S anway
08:11:08jhMikeSI'd have you test the beast charging patch but that sounds out of the question. btw, did you ever use the .tar method instead of UMS?
08:11:29Davide-NYCI'm not sure what .tar methid you speak of.
08:11:55Davide-NYCMy mind is like a sieve. I retain little
08:12:38Davide-NYCCurrently whenever the beast impodes I use sendfirm to send it a patched nk.bin
08:12:41jhMikeSdo 'make tar' and copy rockbox.tar into the MTP folder
08:12:52Davide-NYCthat simple?
08:13:31jhMikeSyes, the bootloader will then extract it (so long as MTP hasn't changed the destination director for those files)

14:14:38scorche[04:49:08] <scorche> Lysbertus: a compiled form of the patch is a bit useless if you wish to update your build int he future
14:17:09Lysbertusscorche: so i can't just install the compiled file on my ipod? like put it in the right directory and run it from rockbox...
14:17:32 Part potato_
14:17:51BigBambiyes, but future changes in rockbox might make it not work
14:17:58scorcheyou can...i mentioned if you want to update...when you compile a plugin, it will onyl work with a specific version of the API...and if that number is bumped, it will not work anymore
14:18:55Lysbertusscorche: perhaps by then i will know how to patch and compile the plugin myself :-)

I mean, if I don't have an wireless AP near by (say on the train) and still my machine times out booting when it has to wait when it configures eth1 (and I think waits for dhcp). I would like to have a few boot alternatives, but with the same kernel. Is that possible?

15:40:27soapOk, let me talk for a moment about the whole RBUtil / rockbox-themes.org issue.
15:41:23soapAs we all know RedBreva is no longer hosting rockbox-themes.org, but still controls the domain name. He has put a redirect on the address to point to my (old) mirror @ rockbox-themes.cleansoap.org.
15:42:40soapThis seems like it should be fine in theory, but bluebrother mentioned how (because of reasons I do not fully understand) it still does not work with RBUtil, but it does work if you navigate to rockbox-themes.org in your browser.

15:43:28soapI see no particular value in ME being a continuing part of the chain, but it is a role I am willing to maintain so long as it is useful.
15:43:36BigBambigonzalexx: Just ask
15:44:03soapAccording to a recent email in the user mailing list by Christopher Woods: http://www.rockbox.org/mail/archive/rockbox-archive-2008-09/0051.shtml
15:44:16gonzalexxsorry to butt in... trying to register... got the code to do so... but the link brings me to a blank page (rockbox is awesome!)
15:44:24soapthere should be something I can change in httpd.conf in orger to make this work.
15:44:30BigBambigonzalexx: register for what?
15:44:43gonzalexxthe forums... didn't find anywhere else to leave a note
15:45:10BigBambiThat is OK - it is just you could have meant the forums, the wiki, the tracker...
15:45:21soapI do not have access to change httpd.conf according to 1and1, but should be able to change the appropriate setting in .htaccess: http://faq.1and1.com/miscellaneous/9.html
15:45:30bluebrothersoap: it's quite simple: rockbox-themes.org redirects to your site, but drops the file you want to retrieve −− i.e. rbutil tries to access rockbox-themes.org/rbutil.php. Now it gets redirected to cleansoap.org/
15:45:32soapDoes anyone know what I need to change?
15:45:45gonzalexxthe page the link in my e-mail message refers to is the tracker
15:45:46bluebrotherit should instead redirect to cleansoap.org/rbutil.php
15:46:13BigBambigonzalexx: Where did you go to sign up?
15:47:32gonzalexxforums - register link
15:47:47bluebrothersoap: I'm going to try this
15:48:16BigBambigonzalexx: And what is the link you cannot access?
15:48:29gonzalexxthought the problem was the browser when going to the link provided... tried it in both firefox and IE... same blank page...(let me get the link)
15:49:08gonzalexxhttp://www.rockbox.org/tracker/index.php?do=register&magic_url=(this long number for registering I imagine)
15:49:26BigBambiI have no idea why the forums need to go to the tracker
15:49:27gonzalexxthat's the one that I received from the system in my e-mail
15:49:45gonzalexxmaybe I used the wrong link?... let me try this dance again :)
15:49:52BigBambiThey are separate logins and therefore need separate registrations etc
15:50:09gonzalexxunderstood... be back with news :) thanks
15:53:21gonzalexxthere we go.. the e-mail I got last night was " Notification from Flyspray"... the one I got right now was from the forums... thanks!!!!!!
15:53:52bluebrothersoap: the htaccess file should have a rewrite rule that matches the file part too. This works for my test environment:
15:54:09bluebrotherRewriteRule (.*)$ http://rockbox-themes.cleansoap.org/$1
15:54:18soapok, that makes total sense in theory.
15:54:29soapdo I just put that exact line in the .htaccess file?
15:55:16gonzalexxthanks you BB, and all you guys... rockbox is awesome... you guys rule... good lock with your stuff (oh... and yes... the themes part in my installation didn't find the URL ... but I am sure I can manage... thanks again
15:55:17bluebrotheryes. You need to have "RewriteEngine on" in the htaccess file too (usually above the RewriteRule line, but I don't know if order does matter)

16:01:40mcuelenaereand it was just a stupid typo :/
16:01:54soapobviously, bluebrother, rockbox-themes.cleansoap.org is a subdomain of cleansoap.org which points to cleansoap.org/rockbox-themes/
16:02:00bluebrotherisn't that the usual cause?
16:02:17soapI put the .htaccess file not in /, but in /rockbox-themes/
16:02:32soapWas that a wrong ASSumption on my part?
16:03:04bluebrotheryep −− you need to put that file on the server that does the redirection, i.e. rockbox-themes.org
16:03:21bluebrothernow you created an endless loop for the cleansoap site :o
16:04:02soapthere is no server @ rockbox-themes.org, well no account for RedBreva - he's just modifying the DNS entry IIUC.
16:04:48gevaertsYou need to tell apache that you handle rockbox-themes.org then. I don't think you can do that with .htaccess

16:07:45soapok, now you two have (easy task) confused me.
16:07:50soapstep back and start over.
16:08:31gevaertsThere is a dns entry for rockbox-themes.org pointing to the IP of the server where cleansoap.org is running, right?
16:08:55soapI assume that is how he did it.
16:08:58soapBut as I
16:09:15soap'm on a shared hosting account I also assume I do not have a unique IP addess, but go on.
16:10:18bluebrotherwell, host shows that rockbox-themes.org points to a different IP
16:10:35gevaertsok. Then you need to tell apache on your side that it handles rockbox-themes.org.
16:11:49gevaertsYou probably do that by clicking on some "add domain" link in a control panel
16:11:51soapThat's what I thought Christopher Woods was getting at.

16:18:23bluebrothergevaerts: well, as far as I can see the "changed DNS entry" is in fact a .htaccess redirect somewhere at the original hoster (otherwise I couldn't explain the differing IP addresses)
16:19:48gevaertsbluebrother: could be. Anyway I think that if cheap web hosting companies are involved this is hopeless, as their software is usually full of completely unfounded assumptions
16:20:39bluebrothertrue.
16:21:42bluebrotherI'd prefer to set up themes.rockbox.org anyway, and maybe let that redirect somewhere (but doing a proper redirect ;)
16:22:01gevaertsWhat may work is pointing to a server that's fully controlled by someone who knows what he's doing (maybe the www or forums), and redirect from there
16:22:15bluebrotherand then adjust the server name in rbutil, as we most likely will do a new release for 3.0 anyway
16:22:24gevaertsThat probably works best, yes

16:30:34bluebrotherwell, as far as I can see the redirect is currently handled by a .htaccess at rockbox-themes.org. If we could modify that, we could indeed.
16:30:36soapMethod #2 would be for RedBreva to give me the domain for now, and then I give it to the Swedes whenever a permanent solution is ready.

20:01:03gevaertsrlj: nothing got through
20:01:09rljok
20:01:20rljhere goes:
20:01:22rljhaven't found anywhere mentioning it, but is mic/line-in recording broken on ipod 4g? all i get is an almost silent wav/mp3 file. if i really shout in the mic with a really high gain, and if i playback at maximum volume, i can hear myself really faint amongst the noise in the playback. so it does capture *something*. i just don't know how to make it capture properly. maybe my understanding of gain/volume is wrong.

20:03:10aliverFrom my googling and reading the rockbox web site the answer seems to be "no"
20:03:15gevaertsrlj: what revision are you using?
20:03:38rljnewest build, downloaded half an hour ago

20:05:07aliverAh, thanks phoenix, I'll look into those!
20:06:04gevaertsrlj: that is indeed latest. I'm asking because there were some ipod recording fixes yesterday. I don't know much more about it though
20:06:10 Join BHSPitLappy [0] (n=BHSPitLa@unaffiliated/bhspitmonkey)
20:06:21bluebrotheraliver: the archos players are quite old and use a dedicated chip for mp3 decoding. So if you want to use other formats you're out of luck
20:06:30aliverAlso, just out of curiousity, currently what is/are the best device(s) to use with Rockbox? "best" == most stable, most cooperative, most actively fixed when there are bugs.
20:06:44gevaertsaliver: what features do you need
20:06:47aliverbluebrother: Ah, that's not so good. I do use Ogg.
20:07:08BigBambialiver: Most of rockbox is common so bug fixing applies to most/all targets
20:07:28bluebrotheraliver: you can't record to ogg on other players too (no encoder has been written). For good recording quite some people like the iriver h100 series −− it has an optical input
20:07:36gevaertsBest device varies depending on whether you need recording, line in/out, radio, flash, big screen for video, ...
20:08:02*bluebrother agrees with gevaerts
20:08:07aliverNo video for me. Don't need line in/out, and don't care about big screen for video. Certainly don't need recording.
20:08:22BigBambiAnd in answer to your question I'd say archos, iriver h100, h300, iaudio x5, m5, m3, gigabeat f, x then sansa e200, c200 then ipods and iriver h10
20:08:25rljgevaerts: the fixes from yesterday seem to affect the 5g ipod
20:08:46BigBambiOf course, which of those depends on features as has been said - look at www.rockbox.org/wiki/BuyersGuide

20:09:02gevaertsrlj: true. The ones for other ipods were thursday...
20:09:03*bluebrother notices he somehow was under the impression aliver was looking for a player for recording :o
20:09:10aliverAh! A buyers guide!
20:09:17bluebrotheraliver: check http://www.rockbox.org/wiki/BuyersGuide
20:09:22aliverCool
20:09:35*BigBambi smacks bluebrother into a distant second place :)
20:10:00aliverI currently have an iPod video 30Gb. It's great with rockbox! The problem is just the damn battery life. I wish I could swap out it's battery but, you know apple.
20:10:03soaprlj, There has very recently been a total rework of recording on the 4G.
20:10:07bluebrotherouch
20:10:21aliverI guess I could get a Sansa. Those take AAA's
20:10:22soaprlj, there is no reason a current build should exhibit the same behavior as an older one.
20:10:24rljgevaerts: there's a fix from last wednesday which fixes audio playback after recording. that seems to work, i do remember it wouldn't play back after "recording". now it does. but the recording still doesn't work properly
20:10:28BigBambialiver: No they don't
20:10:33gevaertsaliver: not the ones that rockbox supports
20:10:37BigBambialiver: Not the ones Rockbox works on anyway
20:10:41aliverdamn.
20:10:52bluebrotheraliver: not sure about the video, but I swapped the battery on my mini. Wasn't a big deal at all
20:10:53soaprlj, IIRC amiconn tested recording fully. How are you attempting to record via microphone?
20:11:01gevaertsaliver: why do you want AA or AAA?
20:11:02bluebrotheryou only need to get that thing open :)
20:11:35BigBambiMost players can have the battery changed easily enough even though they aren't officially replaceable.
20:12:06rljsoap: tried with source: mic (both mono and stereo) with a computer headset mic (works okay on the computer). also tried line-in with a cable straight from computer's headphone jack (not very high power obviously) to ipod
20:12:11soapSure they are all "officially replaceable" every one of the manufactures offers a replacement battery. Some just require tools the average consumer doesn't have.
20:12:17alivergevaerts: because I listen to audiobooks and it's a real PITA when I've got the time to listen to one, I'm, say washing dishes, and the damn thing loses power. Then I don't have any way to charge the battery up or swap it out. AA would be awesome for me, then.
20:12:42soaprlj, a computer headset microphone has the mic on a different ring than the 4G is expecting through the headphone jack.
20:12:57aliverPlus when the battery dies, the player "loses" it's place in my book. Some of the files are very large and it takes a long time to get back to where I was in the book.
20:13:00soapLine-in is only through the dock port.
20:13:26gevaertsaliver: I'd recommend a player with long battery life and recharging every night then
20:13:59soaprlj, The (mono) microphone recording ring is the same as the right (or left, I forget) headphone ring. You need to use a microphone which engages that, not the "fourth ring" your headset mic assuredly uses.
20:14:00rljsoap: oh ok. so line-in requires external accessory then? and microphone input assumes what kind of mic?
20:14:00BigBambisoap: Not officially replaceable as in the e200 is. You have to open it which usually invalidates the warrenty
20:14:01aliverThat's an option. My iPod Video 30G only gives me about 4-5 hours.
20:14:16aliverI need more like 12-14 hours.
20:14:53soaprlj, I don't know if it requires any special microphone - test with your earphones.
20:14:57gevaertsaliver: if you need a hard disk player, I'd recommend the gigabeat F. Mine last over 20 hours on 320kbit mp3 (no DSP).
20:14:58aliverYou guys would laugh if you saw what I do now. I use a Sony PSP and carry around a pocket full of batteries!
20:15:20alivergevaerts: holy snot! I'll have to check that out!
20:15:25rljsoap: the connector on my mic looks exactely like a stereo plug on an earphone. i assume the innermost ring is ground and the (twp?) others are data
20:15:55alivergevaerts: would 192kbit MP3's or OGG eat up the battery on the Gigabeat F?
20:16:04soaprlj, exactly? not tip +three rings?
20:16:08n1saliver: the iaudio x5l and m5l also have good battery times
20:16:17soapaliver, less than 320 kb mp3
20:16:21rljsoap: no. tip+2 rings
20:16:27gevaertsaliver: lower bitrate means less CPU isage, so more runtime
20:16:35rljsoap: but actually, isn't the tip the ground now that i think about it...
20:16:40soaptry with your earbuds - That is not what I expected from your headset.
20:16:43 Quit nplus (Read error: 110 (Connection timed out))
20:16:46soaprlj, yes
20:17:08gevaertsn1s: of course, but they cost at least four times more than the gigabeats
20:17:17rljsoap: ok, giving the headphones a go then
20:17:44aliververy nice.... because all my MP3s are 192kbit or lower.
20:17:49aliveraudiobooks, mostly.
20:17:57rljsoap: so i should set the recording to stereo then since they are stereo earphones? if i set to mono, i assume it will only capture what comes from the left (or right) earphone?
20:18:03n1sgevaerts: yes but the gigabeats are far less common in some places (like Sweden)
20:18:31gevaertsn1s: that's true, but the price difference covers overnight shipping from Mars
20:18:33aliverDo any of the players support swapping out their internal hard disks for, oh, say a 250Gb drive from newegg?
20:18:58aliverI'm sure I'm dreaming here.
20:19:14soaprlj, there is only a monaural microphone connection. Only one of the rings is wired as a mic input.
20:19:20*n1s wonders how the dap market on Mars is ;)
20:19:27gevaertsaliver:
20:19:31gevaertsaliver: http://www.rockbox.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/HardDriveReplacement
20:19:49rljsoap: that does seem to capture. quality is not great but whatever
20:19:49soapaliver, Only the archos players use a 2.5" drive, all the others use 1.8" drives which currently max out at 160GB.
20:19:54BigBambialiver: There is no 250 GB 1.8" drive
20:20:05rljsoap: what does the volume switch in the recording screen actually change? does it at alla affect the recorded file?
20:20:14scorcheBigBambi: i thought i heard about one that just came out
20:20:23BigBambireally?
20:20:24gevaertsBigBambi, soap: there is the MK2431GAH
20:20:26BigBambiwow
20:20:31aliverOkay so what about the 160Gb, can any be replaced with that?
20:20:42BigBambialiver: See the page gevaerts linked
20:20:53scorchesee gevaerts's comment =)
20:20:56scorchethough 240..
20:21:03soapgevaerts, IIRC that is still not available on the open market.
20:21:51gevaertsaliver: have a look at the HardDriveReplacement page. What you need to take into account are (a) Connector type, and (b) thickness
20:21:54BigBambiWhat interface is it? (The Toshiba site is as always less than helpful)
20:22:32soapPATA, so it either fits in our players or can be adapted to fit.
20:22:53rljsoap: ok, so when recording, there is no point in picking "stereo" and i have to figure out which earphone is wired to the mic input?
20:22:55BigBambiZIF-40 it seems. Me want
20:23:34soaprlj, yes. And once you figure out that you know which ring your "real" microphone needs to contact.
20:23:51soapThen you need to figure out (perhaps someone else already knows) if you need to use a mic with phantom power or not.
20:24:15gevaertsaliver: there are adapters to adapt between connector types, but then you need to take room into account, and it gets more complicated
20:24:49rljsoap: my guess from this computer mic since it separates the inner and middle ring was that both would actually be connected to the same wire, but that doesn't seem to be the case. the mic expects that the host (computer) mic port has electrical connection along the whole way (except for the ground)
20:25:21BigBambigevaerts, scorche, soap: Apparently it'll enter mass production at the end of this month
20:25:24rljso it only puts audio on one stereo ring and the ipod happens to listen on the other one
20:26:41soapI think the more exciting development is stereo line-in and using a nice microphone and a preamp. Nobody will expect a concert taper who shows up with an iPod.

22:27:55Unhelpfulhrm, does the F use the *same* 40-pin dock connector as the S?
22:28:34 Quit nplus (Remote closed the connection)
22:29:59gevaertsIt's the same connector, but I think it's a different pinout
22:32:51soapTHAT is a bloody crime
22:34:25amiconnIt looks like the Sansa and ipod connectors are also identical

22:35:42BigBambiIt is definitely the same connector, but e.g. a S will not fit on a F dock (I guess to stop you killing it from the pinouts)
22:36:00soapSansa and iPod connectors are keyed differently.
22:36:05soapRidex sells both.
22:36:24BigBambiYeah, the S and F are the same physically

22:43:23Unhelpfulyes, but we seem to know *some* pins for S, like USB, line-out? i was thinking about hacking an F dock. i know the connectors don't seem to be available separately :/
22:43:59gevaertsUnhelpful: ask toffe82. He found some
22:44:14Unhelpful"found"... like they fell off the back of a truck? ;)
22:44:27gevaertsNot like that, no :)
22:44:44gevaertsMore like they aren't sold as gigabeat connectors
22:45:30 Quit pixelma2_ ()
22:45:51Unhelpfulright. i remember there being some PDA-ish device that had the some connector on its data cable. i don't remember anybody *getting* one to see if it might be usable for F (S wasn't a working port yet, and i owned neither)
22:46:38BigBambiI have some, bought from toffee82
22:47:20BigBambiYou need to desolder some existing connections on them before plugging them in, but they physically fit perfectly, ready for whatever you need to do

22:55:25Unhelpfuleven so... could be something to work on, although my aim was more along the lines of a line-out cable, maybe +charge, for car use.

23:35:08xDonnyor how i could try to help?
23:35:28dionoeaYou could check the new ports forum category
23:35:33dionoeathere's a thread about those

23:49:49*amiconn just tried another old idea of [IDC]Dragon and me - chasing bitswap for MMC reading on Ondio
23:50:21amiconnIt speeds up reading 512 byte blocks by 15..20%, with smaller binary :)
23:51:38*gevaerts takes amiconn's ondio away before there is no binary left ;)
23:52:07*amiconn has 2 Ondios (plus 2 broken ones) :-P
