00:05:18*kugel just reads about WinARM
00:05:49kugelSounds promising to compile rockbox natively on a windows machine
00:07:08confusedok when i try i can change only options like 4:3 and so on or if i want it for ipod and other mp3's (it never says ipod nano) and the wiki is making me more confused
00:07:38confusedcuz the way its explained on the wiki u kinda gotta know what to do to understand it

00:53:34soapMarcGuay, I need to expand said wiki page to include a place to put info regarding that patch. We (I) need to get the collected information regarding what works and what doesn't out of that forum thread and into the wiki. I, personally, would not have deleted that entry. It is my fault there is not a proper place to put the information, not the submitter's fault for using the only form found to add said information.
00:54:15lassergevaerts: yesterday night the patches ran into an error, today all seems to be ok... I knew it was stupid :-( Nevertheless thank you.
00:54:42gevaertslasser: if the patches touch the same code, order may matter
00:55:23mmadiasoap which thread?
00:55:30MarcGuaysoap: I figured you would be combing the thread at some point. In the meantime, it's not providing false information and the wiki history is easy to farm.
00:56:27MarcGuayPS: I'm more than willing to help.
00:56:33Lloreansoap: Re the accessory protocol patch, have there been any negative side effects mentioned by people?
00:56:41soapnegative? No.
00:57:18soapBut no reports of any sort involving behavior outside testing with accessories. I do not know how many people use it as their primary build.
00:57:28LloreanCan you think of any reason why it shouldn't go into SVN assuming everything's separated so it doesn't affect other targets?
00:58:36soapI'll admit not having personally tested it myself, as I do not own a single iPod-specific accessory. How about you give me a week of running it as my main build and let me get back to you? I can ask the same thing of the users in the forum thread.
00:59:04lassergevaerts: is there a rule for which patch I have to apply first? 1. Lowest FS# 2. Higher FS# 3. Highest FS#?
00:59:25RyoSlasser: nope

01:04:34kugelI didn't plan anything. I'm just interested in how this turns out
01:04:53LloreanWell, what's the goal exactly?
01:06:21LloreanYou'd mentioned earlier trying to compile Rockbox natively, but for it to be a suitable alternate environment it should really let people have the option to test-compile all targets since patches often have unintended consequences the first time they're written.

01:13:08soapYea, but that is confusing as well.

01:14:06soapThat, of course, would necessitate the posting on that wiki page of what accessory support revision we are on.

01:18:30soapalso need to add columns for all the features tested with and without accessory power supply turned on. Or at the minimal one - "Is Accessory Power Supply Needed To Make This Stinking Device Work?" (but that long of a title would bust the formatting)
01:18:57nutrientmani loaded rockbox on my ipod 3g, it works fine, except that the computer will not recognize it now. does anyone know how to make the computer see it as a removable disk agasin? what i did was to format the ipod with fat32, copy .rockbox and use ipod patcher and copy a couple of mp3's as a test.
01:19:07MarcGuayWould the pre-support info have any value once it's in trunk? Answering my own question: it would for 3.0 users. Hmm. I was also thinking we could easily tell what accesorry support revision we were at by the main RB revision number if it was noted what subversion entry added it.
01:19:47Lloreansoap: Does the revision number matter?
01:20:06LloreanI mean, as long as there aren't later revisions breaking support for devices, it should just be "without patch" and "with patch"
01:20:16soapIt also would have value just so we can keep track of /when/ an accessory was tested. If we do not note that an accessory was tested back in the dark ages then we do not know we need a retester.
01:20:42LloreanWhy don't we get it in SVN, then just require an SVN revision. ;)
01:21:00MarcGuayI was assuming we were going with that model.
01:21:15soapLlorean, the revision number matters for just the reasons I outlined above. If we do not know /when/ in the course of support attempts it was tested we don't know if retesting is needed.
01:21:22 Quit coatman ("Buh Bye")
01:21:45soapYou are right, SVN revision number does tell all. It is just a harder-to-quickly-parse number.
01:21:54Lloreansoap: I'm not sure I follow that. How do we know retesting is ever needed?
01:22:06soap(This is the same positional argument we had over WPS syntax revision numbers)
01:22:17LloreanIf a device works, it works. We won't know it stops working until someone tries it, and it doesn't work, at which point it's already been retested.
01:22:32LloreanUntil such time as someone tries it, it's in a state of "old, but there's no real reason it shouldn't work as far as we know"
01:22:37soapRetesting is clearly needed if an accessory was reported non-functioning 1 revision in accessory support ago.
01:22:52LloreanAh, forward re-testing.
01:22:59soapyou're thinking of positive reports, I'm thinking of negative reports.
01:23:04soapyep
01:23:25pixelmanutrientman: do you connect while Rockbox is running or from an off state?
01:23:37soapand, the way the patch progressed, I think there is a _high_ possibility of regression.
01:24:05Lloreansoap: Yeah, but regression will result in self-testing anyway.
01:24:20LloreanBut you're right, discovering when a non-working device starts working is different.
01:24:21soapMany of the issues appear to my untrained eye to be baud rate negotiation, and a new negotiation plan attempting to solve one accessory might very well bork another?
01:24:36Lloreansoap: I thought most of the baud-rate negotiation issues had been worked out.
01:25:36*Llorean will admit he hasn't kept track of it for a few months though.
01:26:11LloreanOne option is to *just* have working devices on the wiki, and ask people to file bug reports against non-working devices (once it's in SVN)
01:26:28LloreanAmong other things, that allows us a return-contact path once it's possible the device is fixed so we can ask the same person to re-test it.
01:26:30***Saving seen data "./dancer.seen"
01:26:36MarcGuayPresumably this testing will lead to a better understanding of accessory power detection as well and that menu option can be removed. IIRC it was added a temporary hack.
01:26:45soapOne of the advantages of showing non-working items on the wiki page is it allows people to see what has been tested and what hasn't.
01:27:19soapIt is not only a buyers guide for the cautious, it is a buyer's guide for the adventurous (who choose to buy an untested item).
01:27:21Lloreansoap: We could get someone to add a "peripherals" category to flyspray, and link to that search from the page.
01:27:34kugelMeh, lang.h is not found...
01:27:42soapIf I were a cautious person I would be hacked the "IpodAccessories" page didn't clearly outline what was known not to be working.
01:27:48LloreanI think using flyspray for known-bad helps to make sure we can get in contact with them again.
01:28:14soapI'm not against reporting non-working items as bugs, I just don't see why they should be removed from the one-stop lookup page.
01:28:14Lloreankugel: Why not attempt to work on a solution that's valid for all targets?
01:28:19MarcGuaysoap: It will need to be made very clear that even though a certain chart says their accessory doesn't work, new testing it required because thing have changed... People may otherwise not bother after seeing the red X.
01:28:36MarcGuay*is required
01:28:48kugelLlorean: I can start finding one for arm, then if I succeed I can try to find one for the others
01:29:12Lloreansoap: Then you don't need to worry about tracking versions, for one.
01:29:22Lloreankugel: winarm uses the wrong GCC and binutils version according to their website.
01:30:19kugelyea, I've noticed that. I have a doubt though that this is the cause of the lang.h issue
01:30:28Lloreansoap: If we have bug reports, they'll get closed when fixed. But I'm not sure how often the page would get updated to reflect the fixed bugs (much like many of our other wiki pages)
01:30:44Lloreankugel: Yes, but it does mean it won't be a recommended way to build Rockbox...
01:31:06kugelSure, but let me have some fun please
01:31:08soapI take offense at that! ;)
01:31:23soapI do pretty well keeping my pet wiki pages up-to-date.
01:31:40soapAnd I start forum threads telling other people to do it for me when I get busy. :P
01:31:45Lloreankugel: You're welcome to have all the fun you want, but please remember this is for stuff intended to forward Rockbox development. If you know it won't be used, you're basically doing the same sort of stuff as say an unsupported build. Peripherally related, but not really belonging here.
01:31:46*scorche wonders why kugel needs Llorean's permission to have "fun"
01:32:24kugelLlorean: what if the version turns out as working?
01:32:38Lloreankugel: We ask people to use the _exact_ same versions we do.
01:32:47Lloreaneven if it works, it's not the same version so it won't be a recommended method.
01:33:02MarcGuayLlorean: The problem still remains of future revisions breaking the support for previously-working certain accessories. At which point, those bugs get re-opened?
01:33:12MarcGuay-certain
01:33:14LloreanMarcGuay: Or new bugs filed, doesn't really matter.
01:33:34scorchekugel: then make a wiki page about it, dont link it anywhere else, really, put a few warnings up, and wait while it slides gently into oblivion and disuse
01:33:36LloreanMarcGuay: I'm confident people will let us know, vocally, when their accessories that used to work stop.
01:34:03soapI still think the largest issue is that I, personally, would be pissed if I bought something Rockbox knew was non-functional with my iPod and removed wiki reference to said knowledge.
01:34:06Lloreansoap: Well, it's your baby. Just offering some suggestions.
01:34:47soapno no no - We need consensus on this, I'm a worker bee, not a queen.
01:34:59LloreanI just think Flyspray tasks are, in general, more likely to be productive and useful (especially since someone with the same device can read discussion of its problems more thoroughly if there is any, etc)
01:35:30nutrientmanpixelma: thanks for the response, i figured it out. i needed to reboot and hit the ff or rew to get my ipod 3g to go into disk mode
01:35:34LloreanI think a "Known Working" page is useful, then a link that says "Devices known not to be working" and it links to flyspray filtered for open accessories tasks

01:37:33LloreanOf course, for that, we need an "Accessories" category in flyspray.

01:57:59kugelscorche: I haven't tested, but I would believe newer compiler versions are likely to create "better" code
01:58:00amiconn4.3.x is even supposed to bring a significant performance improvement for coldfire, but so far no one has managed to use this successfully (iirc there were issues with gcc <-> gas interaction for our coldfire variants)
01:58:14scorchekugel: and what would give you that impression?
01:58:35Lloreankugel: "are supposed to" and "are likely to" are two different suppositions.

02:05:56pixelmaI believe n1s and Lear did some testing of 4.x gcc versions on coldfire but I don't remember the outcome(s)
02:06:38kugelscorche: just about every software gets better with the time
02:07:11kugelLambdaCalculus37: Well, why do you want to strip it? It's not going to be compiled anyway
02:07:34Lloreankugel: Remember, GCC supports several architectures. GCC may get better, but its ability to produce optimized code for other architectures is not necessarily consistent.
02:07:53scorchekugel: compilers and code is a bit of a different story though...
02:08:38kugelWell, I can imagine. I was just saying why I think a higher version _could_ be better

02:55:30kugelI find myself wondering how much runtime would disabling wps refresh/updating with off screen yield
02:56:16kugel(on screens that are unreadable without backlight of course)
02:56:39Lloreankugel: The problem is that, in part, drawing is an additive process. The functions don't really know the overall status of the screen, IIUC, so if you disabled drawing for a period, then re-enabled it, you'd be likely to end up with artifacts.
02:57:25kugelthere's a patch on the tracker trying to implement it. On the sim you can clearly see the wps isn't updating anymore after some seconds
02:57:29LambdaCalculus37kugel: The whole entire patch is still referring to paths on your computer.
02:57:51Lloreankugel: Didn't you remove that patch from your build because it causes glitchy behaviour?
02:57:59*kugel blames Geany's version diff plugin
02:58:10kugelNo
02:58:49LloreanOh, you left it in your build, but it causes glitchy behaviour.
02:58:54kugelthe glitch is that alternating sublines are changing amazingly fast for a while after the screens turns on, but no artifacts or something
02:58:58LambdaCalculus37kugel: Didn't you use svn diff?
02:59:27Lloreankugel: have you done any battery benches to see if it actually improves things then?

03:11:16Bawitdabais it possible to install rockbox on a pc/laptop with linux/unix/bsd?

03:41:22MarcGuayI think the manual needs to be less afraid of Rockboxc Utility, if we're going to call it the recommended install method. The wording clearly scares some people off of it, I know it did for me.
03:43:33LloreanMarcGuay: I think it just really hasn't been adjusted yet from when it was the experimental install process
03:45:15LambdaCalculus37kugel: Sorry, watching TV. I left another Gigabeast build compiling in the meantime.
03:46:50LambdaCalculus37kugel: No warnings thus far.
03:48:37BeanerI installed the rockbox software on my 30gb ipod 5g, everything worked tits for a handful of days, then last night I was showing it off to a friend, noticed the battery was getting low, shut it down, and later threw it on my wall charger. Once I hooked it to the charger it fired up and went into the standard ipod format, I left it charging overnight, then in the morning pulled it off, it...
03:48:39Beaner...shut down and now will not fire up at all. I get zero response from any button mashing, zero response hookin it to my computer, zero response putting it back on the wall charger, nothing at all, its acting like a fancy paper weight now!
03:49:49Beanerany ideas would be greatly appreciated, thank you, and nothing in the forums matches my problems, i believe the software i used was the current build as of a few days ago
03:50:45kugelYou used the OF to charge. So, any damage is unlikely to be caused by rockbox

04:05:15feyd2blakHi All...just a quick question....I have just installed rockbox 3.0 from file (not using the GUI) and the theme settings, images etc, are not displaying, any ideas??? gigabeat F20
04:05:37kugelLambdaCalculus37: how do you mean?
04:05:39MarcGuayfeyd2blak: The themes that came with it should work.
04:05:59feyd2blakin the play screen that is, the menu displays the background and the menu items OK...
04:06:15MarcGuayAre you loading them through Settings->Theme Settings?
04:06:17feyd2blakyeh thats what I thought
04:06:26LambdaCalculus37kugel: I have the brightness setting at 20 on the backlight. But it's much darker than it should be.
04:06:44kugelhm ok
04:06:47LambdaCalculus37Plus, the backlight fading is very erratic. The backlight brigtens to max before turning off.
04:06:53feyd2blakI extracted the .rockbox file across same as I used to do and now have the issue
04:07:01MarcGuayfeyd2blak: Themes that came from elsewhere may not work as expected, try ones from the WPS gallery in the wiki with recent modification dates.
04:07:02kugeldoes changing it the backlight do anything?
04:07:19MarcGuayfeyd2blak: There were changes to the WPS syntax.
04:07:27feyd2blakcool, Ill be back
04:07:40feyd2blakthanks MarcGuay
04:07:50LambdaCalculus37kugel: Nope.
04:07:54kugelbut the fading is generally working? not bad for untested & experimental code I suppose :P
04:08:15LambdaCalculus37kugel: The fading works, but the backlight handling is very poor.
04:08:32*LambdaCalculus37 reverts the patch and builds once more without it

04:09:57LambdaCalculus37kugel: Correctamundo.
04:10:00MarcGuayLambdaCalculus37: Re: GigS charging. After re-reading, I understand that it does pull a charge via USB but the fact that the disk is always spinning negates it.
04:10:15kugelHm. ok, that needs further investigation
04:10:18LambdaCalculus37MarcGuay: Ahh.

04:46:56LloreanLess depth? Less categories? Different names?
04:47:44wpyhhm... actually more of those
04:47:56wpyhmore categories, and some different names

04:48:44LloreanMore categories tends to mean a person needs to look in more places to find an option, unless it's *really* obvious from the category name what options are under it.
04:48:45wpyhthe reason is that I find the settings menu too technical.
04:49:01LloreanWhat would be some example new categories, then?
04:50:01wpyhwell, in "Sound Settings", I would add "Advanced Sound Settings" and put "Bass Cutoff", "Treble Cutoff", "Balance", "Channel Configuration", "Stereo Width", "Crossfeed" and "Dithering" in it
04:50:08 Join massiveH [0] (n=massiveH@ool-44c48a1e.dyn.optonline.net)
04:50:28wpyhSo "Sound Settings" will consist of "Bass", "Treble", "Volume, "Equalizer" and "Advanced Sound Settings"
04:50:49LloreanAll that does is mean people need to click more things to get to them, though...
04:51:02LloreanHow does having it in another level make Rockbox easier to use?
04:51:05wpyhI have done that, but I would still like to change the menu in other places, so I don't have a patch ready right now

04:51:59wpyhYes, to get to the advanced sound settings, more clicks have to be made. But it makes Rockbox easier to use by not cluttering up the Sound Settings menu with options that people don
04:52:06wpyh*don't often use
04:52:27Lloreanhow does that make it easier to use?
04:52:30webguest96is there any way to run rockbox on a sansa view
04:52:36LloreanAre their eyes going to wear out from seeing additional options?
04:52:42Lloreanwebguest96: No.
04:53:59wpyhIt is more difficult to find a specific option in the Sound Settings menu if there are too many options there. Of course, one could look at the option names one by one, but in general people don't do that.
04:53:59 Quit webguest96 (Client Quit)
04:54:29wpyhNow I don't condone laziness, but I think a more intuitive and user-friendly approach would be better.
04:54:49LloreanThey have to read them anyway, at least until they get to the one they want.
04:55:03LloreanAssuming they look from the top down, having extras at the bottom wouldn't exactly get in the way.
04:55:32wpyhYes, that would also be another option: put the most common options at the top, and the less common ones at the bottom.
04:55:32LloreanNot to mention it's more difficult to find the option once, while having to go through an extra menu is something you'd have to do every single time you want to change one of those values.
04:56:16wpyhYes, but the settings in "Advanced Sound Settings" are not often changed.
04:57:03wpyhThey are the settings that most people don't use on a regular basis. On the other hand, bass, treble, volume and eq are the things people usually want to change often.
04:57:25 Nick Darksair is now known as iSuck (n=user@221.221.144.56)
04:57:25Lloreanwpyh: People don't often change Volume.
04:57:28LloreanOr Bass/Treble.
04:57:46LloreanHeck, even the Equalizer should really only be changed when the output hardware is changed.
04:58:21LloreanAll of that category are infrequently used options.
04:58:40wpyhYeah, I have to admit that volume is actually not changed so often. But bass, treble and eq are very frequently changed, by most users.
04:59:24LloreanWhy would they constantly change them?

04:59:38LloreanAre you sure you're not thinking "I change them frequently, so most users probably do"?
04:59:42wpyhWell, in theory the eq should be changed when the output hardware is changed, as you said. I myself don't use the eq (I set it to off), but people like to change the eq depending on the music.

05:00:35Lloreanameyer: But almost never through the menu.
05:00:40wpyhA lot of users (at least those I see in other forums) like to get a different "experience" each time.

05:02:14Lloreanwpyh: Most of the users I've read about in the forums tend to just pick a value and stick with it for bass/treble, and might change EQ based on genre if there's one named for their genre.

05:07:40wpyhHm... I think it's more of a tie here, and depending on where you look. For the more advanced users, I think having all those options available is good; for the regular user (like the regular PC user), they would only want to see Bass, Treble, Volume, and EQ.
05:07:54ameyerstupid question, if I got an iPod mini with a broken HD and did the CF mod on it, would I have any need for the OF?
05:08:22ameyeror is disk mode actually implemented in hardware?
05:08:32Lloreanameyer: It's implemented in software stored in ROM.
05:08:41Lloreanwpyh: Rockbox is aimed at advanced users....
05:09:01Lloreanwpyh: You're pretty much advanced by default if you're flashing alternative firmwares on your consumer electronics.
05:09:16wpyhI don't consider it hiding, because the "Advanced Sound Settings" menu is right there. You do have a point in saying that leaving them on the same layer doesn't increase difficulty though, so we can also have them in the same layer but rearrange them.
05:09:24wpyhhm...
05:09:49wpyhI'm trying to make more people use Rockbox (WORLD DOMINATION)
05:10:11LloreanSo you think people will see extra settings, say "oh no, it offers me more options than I expected" and not use it at all?
05:10:24wpyhI do understand that it would attract 1users though...
05:10:35LloreanHow would hiding settings attract users, exactly?
05:10:42LloreanThey won't know the settings are hidden until they've already installed it.
05:10:57LloreanDo you honestly believe people will then see extra settings and choose to stop using Rockbox because of them?
05:11:09wpyhno, that's not that I'm thinking. I'm thinking that the users would say "wow, it's too complicated. and ugly. I'll switch back to the OF".
05:11:32wpyhYes, I think they would think the settings are too complicated, and stop using Rockbox because of it.
05:11:55LloreanIf someone thinks it's complicated to *not use* options they don't know what do, they'll probably not get along well with Rockbox anyway.
05:12:33wpyhOn the other hand, if we put the less often used settings in "Advanced Sound Settings", the average user would say "nah, that's too complicated for me. I'll just use the ones in the Sound Settings instead."
05:12:50LloreanInstead of "nah, those are too complicated for me, I'll just use the ones I know the name of"?
05:12:57LloreanHaving them visible doesn't force anyone to try to use them.
05:13:03wpyhLlorean: you're probably alienating some people...
05:13:46LloreanYou honestly believe we've turned people away because they were too stupid to say "Oh, there are options here I don't know about, I'll just ignore them."
05:13:56LloreanAnd instead got confused by them, and quit using the software?
05:14:32wpyhLlorean: no and yes. Yes: having them visible does not force anyone to try use them, but might scare them away. No: they would most likely see it as being non-user-friendly nad turn away from Rockbox altogether.

05:15:29LloreanMore options isn't less user friendly as long as they can still easily find the options they DO want.
05:15:43LloreanIt would be less user friendly if the "normal" options were hard to get to because of the advanced ones, sure.
05:15:47wpyhMy goal is to retain all the advanced settings, because that's one of the things that makes Rockbox superior to the OF. But I would do it in a way that makes people feel right at home, in a way that's comfortable to them.
05:15:49LloreanBut they're right there.
05:16:34Lloreanwpyh: Your goal is to make Rockbox harder to use for intelligent people, while trying to attract people who'd apparently be happy enough with the original firmware anyway.
05:17:01LloreanIf having extra options drives them away, I can't imagine they actually _wanted_ to use Rockbox in the first place.
05:17:30wpyhYes, you're right about more options is not less user friendly, but they are mixed with the frequently-used options, so users who want to use the more frequently-used options would have to find the right option. They would have to scroll more, and it's not intuitive.

05:19:27LloreanIf you're going to call Rockbox "not intuitive" I really expect you to be able to explain what your intuition would have you do instead of what we have you do.
05:20:08wpyhWell, my intuition would be to scroll through it and see if anything interests me, or if anything might be useful to me. I do understand that more advanced users would want to think about (and actually use) each option. OTOH, less advanced users would think it's all too complicated to use.
05:20:14wpyhhey, I have slow fingers :p
05:20:47LloreanSo, your intuition is to scroll through the list.
05:20:50wpyhyep
05:20:51LloreanWe expect you to scroll through the list.
05:20:54LloreanHow is that not intuitive?
05:21:15wpyhIt's not un-intuitive for me. But it would be, for the average user.
05:21:39LloreanThe average user would do what instead of scrolling, then?
05:22:10wpyhthe average user would think it's all too complicated to use. then they would like Rockbox less.
05:22:22LloreanSo their intuition, when given 8 options, is to give up?
05:22:26LloreanNot "read them"?
05:22:40LloreanI think if "read a few lines" is too difficult for them, they won't get past the install steps.
05:23:48wpyhI think it's like Linux. (forgive me for making an analogy) I used Slackware, and now I'm using my homegrown distro with an even more primitive package manager. I would never use Ubuntu. But I see that lots of Linux users (I wouldn't say most) use Ubuntu, Fedora, etc because they are more user-friendly and desktop-friendly.
05:24:21LloreanWhat does that have to do with "asking users to read 8 options"?
05:24:34wpyhLlorean: yes. and actually the install steps are too difficult to follow... but that's another topic. and I have never used rbutil, so I don't know how difficult it is to use.

05:25:35wpyhabout the analogy? see, slackware gives you all the options you want, and you can and should use a text editor to edit those. No GUI configuration tools. Ubuntu hides them behind a GUI.

05:27:20wpyhyes, I do understand your argument about the extra level
05:27:57wpyhso I'm open to ideas... an alternative is to display the 4 basic sound settings, then display a separator line, then display the advanced settings. How about that?
05:28:03LloreanSo your goal is to make the project less advanced-user / developer friendly and more "clueless user" friendly?
05:28:24LloreanA separator line doesn't do anything functional either. Why do they need to be distinguished at all?
05:28:46 Quit massiveH ("Leaving")
05:29:22wpyhPartially true. My goal is to make it more "clueless user" friendly, but not less "advanced user" friendly. The advanced user would be intelligent enough to open the submenu ;)
05:29:38LloreanYes, but it takes him more time.
05:29:48wpyhA separator line would tell people that "The settings below this are advanced settings"
05:30:00LloreanNo, it would tell a user "the settings below this are settings below this"
05:30:14LloreanIf your users are too dumb to be able to read a full list of settings names, I doubt they'll instantly realize that's the "Advanced Settings" line.
05:30:18wpyhLlorean: depends on how you look at it.
05:30:36LloreanYou seem to assume your users cannot read, but can fathom the intention of an apparently random line.
05:30:40wpyhLlorean: yes, so I'm still open to ideas, as I said.
05:30:46LloreanMeanwhile, all that line will do is make the screen _more_ full

05:30:53LloreanWhich, by your logic, should make it more overwhelming, not less.
05:31:13LloreanHere's an idea "don't add submenus, they're unnecessary and make the entire firmware harder to use"
05:31:32LloreanPeople can, at most, be overwhelmed the first time they enter the screen.
05:31:34wpyhLlorean: the line there would signal some kind of separator. and the user seeing the weird setting names under it would immediately realize they are in the wrong zone
05:31:41LloreanSubmenus demand a cost every single time someone wishes to access those options.
05:32:04Lloreanwpyh: If the user is intelligent enough to do that, they're intelligent enough to just not click on options they don't want to click on...
05:33:07wpyhYes, it demands a cost. Since they are not that frequently used, they would entail a smaller cost than to have the average user read the whole list.
05:33:29LloreanI don't understand your statement there.
05:33:32wpyhLlorean: not all users are as smart as you think. Maybe what we perceive as "users" are different?
05:33:35LloreanThe average user needs to read the list _once_
05:33:50LloreanThen they know which options are there, and which ones they want to use.
05:34:01LloreanMeanwhile, the advanced user needs to go into that menu many times over the life of their player.
05:34:33LloreanSo, how is the cost higher to the average user. If the list overwhelms them every single time they read it, I'd be impressed.
05:34:58Lloreanwpyh: My basis for an "average" user is my mother. She has difficulty using computers, period, but is not afraid of an options menu.
05:35:06wpyhYes: the average user would know which options are there. But that's beside the point. The long list would make it harder to scroll to the option they want.
05:35:19LloreanNot if it were sorted.
05:35:28wpyhSorted according to what?
05:35:59LloreanAdvanced options in the middle-ish, more common ones at the top and bottom (least clicks from starting point)
05:36:08wpyh:O
05:36:29wpyh(that's an emoticon of an astonished person, sorry)
05:36:45LloreanThis benefits advanced users too, since overall they're most likely to use the same options and these technology-terrified users you seem to be targeting.

05:38:02wpyhMore common ones at the top and the advanced ones at the bottom would be more intuitive. Having common options at both ends is counter-intuitive, even though it is technically nearer to the top if you count the clicks
05:38:32LloreanYou have to assume your clueless users will learn to use Rockbox after a short time
05:38:48LloreanRockbox should be aimed at being easier to use once you learn how, even if that takes a small cost in making it harder to learn.

05:40:14LloreanLowering the barrier of entry at the cost of total usability is a bad design choice, especially considering "get more users" is not a significant project goal. The intended audience is "people who can contribute" since that's what makes the project grow, and "people who can contribute" tend to be advanced users anyway.

05:44:06wpyhLlorean: I'm actually trying to work with it. However, all my ideas seem to be against the project direction you described.
05:46:39wpyhI didn't do it on purpose :P
05:46:58LloreanJust remember, the target audience is "more developers to help further improve things" not "masses of every day users"
05:47:07LloreanWe'd like them, but not at the cost of what we consider usability.
05:47:30wpyhThat's a very delicate balance.
05:47:50LloreanThere's not much to balance.
05:47:57wpyhand I would actually have to learn what you consider usability.
05:48:00LloreanIf we have to make a choice, we pick the one we think works best for us.
05:48:41wpyhthe balance is "we'd like average users, but not at the cost of what we consder usability"

05:54:49wpyhI think I would have to learn from the Linux menuconfig... they changed the organization significantly from 2.4 to 2.6, and I find 2.6's menuconfig a lot more easier to use.

06:11:13lol3izerideal is 100x100
06:11:23lol3izerSOME wpses can handle 200x200

06:38:56Skailwhat are my chances of being able to build with gcc3.4.5 ?
06:39:45LloreanSkail: You're not mentioning what target you're building for.
06:39:57LloreanAnd why don't you just use the right version?
06:40:26SkailLlorean: for arm-elf (sansa c200).. and because I can't seem to get a working gcc4 cross compiler

06:41:42Skailbut then, they aren't currently building me a crosscompiler, so....
06:41:51scorcheSkail: better than nothing?
06:42:16LloreanSkail: If your linux distro won't allow you to build your own copies of things from source, you might consider picking one that offers you a little more flexibility and freedom...
06:43:06lol3izeryou can do custom ebuilds pretty easily
06:43:12SkailLlorean: uhh...... it most certainly WILL allow me to, but I prefer to do things like that within portage, because it tracks things for me... easy uninstall and easy to know what is and isn't on my system
06:44:04lol3izerSkail, you might want to consider LD_PRELOD_PATH and the fact that all unix software is naturally portable
06:44:06LloreanSkail: Well, Rockbox more or less requires specific GCC versions to work reliably.
06:44:14lol3izerin the sense it dosent matter where it is running from
06:44:39scorcheSkail: and if portage wont do the job, but a "third party tool" which is an open perl script does?
06:44:41lol3izeryou could even do a chroot if you dont wanna muck around alot
06:44:57scorches/perl//
06:45:29Skaillol3izer: yeah, chroot might be the way to go.. I dunno what LD_PRELOAD_PATH is, though
06:46:36lol3izerSkail, it allows you to speficy an alternate place to load libaries from
06:47:02Skaillol3izer: I don't really grok gcc well enough to use that effectively.

07:34:10devslashnullis that a known issue ?

07:34:57scorcheSoulSeeker: yup...many DAPs have this issue, though sansas seem especially fragile
07:35:10SoulSeekerI am glad I somehow fixed the one I bought on ebay for $15... but I was wondering what was that small resistor that I broke off accidentally
07:35:50scorchedevslashnull: well, the ipod videos are not very fast due to its screen (lots of overhead)...do you notice a large improvement when playing music?
07:36:03SoulSeekerit was nearly accidental i fixed thsi thing... but any idea what was that resistor connected to the headphone jack pin?
07:36:10devslashnullscorcheno not really
07:36:33devslashnullscorche in fact theres a lag when pausig a song or exiting the "now playing" screen
07:37:32SoulSeekeranyone? I was surprised to see that mp3 player still working without a resistor... :-?
07:42:57SoulSeekeranyways, I also own another sansa e260.. very cheap, good sound, compatible with rockbox..
07:43:42SoulSeekerbut the screen is very fragile, the battery doesn't last long, and the proporiety cable is very hard to replace (the ones sold in Ebay stop working after few months)...

09:59:13B4gderof things to have fixed and done before we announce it
09:59:30GodEatergreat idea
09:59:38*GodEater volunteers B4gder to make such a list
09:59:43B4gderyay!
09:59:48*B4gder feels selected
10:00
10:00:45B4gderit would be nice to have the themes site up for 3.1
10:01:44pixelmanow, all we need is that *someone* to do the work ;)
10:02:07*B4gder looks around for someone
10:02:26GodEaterI thought I saw him hiding around the corner a while back
10:04:14n1ssoo, on a slightly related matter what would be the correct version to use for the new ipod bootloaders, and what is the clean way to set APPSVERSION? (ipods seem by far the most cf modded targets so I think we/I should focus on getting these up on the download site soon, very little interest in the bootloaders though :(
10:05:19*scorche peeks out from around his corner
10:05:26linuxstbn1s: co-incidentally, I think it's "v3" according to http://svn.rockbox.org/viewvc.cgi/tags/
10:05:49n1slinuxstb: aha!, nice :)
10:07:01linuxstbI _think_ you just do "VERSION=v3 make"
10:07:36linuxstbOr maybe "make VERSION=v3"... (or maybe they are equivalent...)

10:16:27n1sB4gder, linuxstb: interestingly 'make VERSION=v3' seems to have worked, the r18xxx-3.0-08xxxx string was replaced by v3 but 'VERSION=v3 make' didn't, anyways, I'm building a batch now :)
10:17:16B4gdercool, do you have a script to build the entire set?
10:17:23n1sno...
10:17:29linuxstbn1s: I _think_ this is the script I used to build the last set of ipod bootloaders - note that I used "VERSION=2.0". http://www.pastebin.ca/1214531
10:18:16n1slinuxstb: thanks, will go with 3.0 then, even nicer match :)

14:20:33J-23how does recovery mode work on v2's?
14:21:19funmanon e200 you can access (read/write) the whole firmware file by usb if you disable manually the NAND (shorting 2 pins together)
14:21:56funmanon other models, we implement recovery in the very first stages of the software we execute (resume OF is a button is pressed or usb connection is detected)

15:28:21gevaertsfunman: does sg_dd check the device capacity before writing? If so, you could try changing it to really only do the writes
15:28:35funmanit doesn't
15:28:47*funman hopes
15:29:29kugelLambdaCalculus37: well, I've done a bit. It could work now
15:29:37funmana linux bug(?) makes it report device's blocks number as 1 minimum even if the device said 0, and the 1st block isn't even copied

15:34:01kugelso, you can't extract a zip on your player and take 2 min to see if backlight is working? sad
15:34:08gevaertsfunman: are you using /dev/sdX or /dev/sgX? I think sg_dd still goes through the kernel for /dev/sdX

15:38:49funmanhum the sansaV2 OF enables the "timer2 clock"
15:39:01kugelLambdaCalculus37: http://www.alice-dsl.net/simonemartitz/forlambda/rockbox.zip
15:39:13funmanand now that I read the code handling interrupts, it seems that we have to handle interrupts for said 'timer2'
15:39:45kugelin order to?
15:40:01funmanso maybe the interrupts are handled by the OF, and since it's in an uninitialized state, the interrupt handler may return without actually handling it

15:41:22amiconnAnd no, it is not yet possible to use Interix for building rockbox, but I'm working on it
15:43:03funmankugel: firmware/target/arm/system-pp502x.c line 47/48
15:43:21peturXavierGr: why not use VirtualBox? I think it uses all CPUs...
15:44:13funman TIMER2_VAL; /* ACK interrupt */
15:44:26funmandoes it mean to acknowledge the interrupt, one just has to read said register ?
15:45:56LambdaCalculus37kugel: Still independent of the brightness setting. I can't do much else right now because my beast needs a charging... again.
15:45:58kugelpetur: it didn't when I used it (v1.6)
15:46:08peturoh?
15:46:27peturwell the manual says nothing about it...
15:46:29kugelLambdaCalculus37: does it still go to max brightness on fading down?
15:46:54XavierGrpetur: unfortunately cygwin in the end is less hassle than any virtual machine
15:47:02kugelpetur: the vm didn't even see the second core, so...
15:47:05LambdaCalculus37kugel: I didn't notice because my beast shut off while I was testing.
15:47:15kugel:(
15:47:20*petur gets the latest version and tries
15:48:14XavierGrand if a virtual machine doesn't use all the cores I could just use cygwin and loose a little speed
15:48:35amiconnfunman: This is correct for PP. Other SoCs probably most behave differently, mabye very differently
15:48:54XavierGrI remember cygwin at 4 cores vs vmware at 2 cores was significant due to ccache but in the end I opted for cygwin once again
15:49:10amiconnXavierGr: A little? Building the crosscompilers on Interix was 2times...7times (!) faster than on cygwin...
15:49:17XavierGr(and I am not compiling all the time so waiting 30 seconds more is not the end of the world)
15:49:29XavierGramiconnn: I am talking about cygwin vs vmware
15:49:53XavierGrI haven't tryid interix yet, it sounds promising and I wait impatiently for your work :P
15:50:01funmanamiconn: yes, for as3525 it seems we have to write in a specific register
15:50:09amiconnYes, and I think Interix and VMware+linux will be about the same speed on the same hardware
15:50:53funmanfrom a hardware point of view, I understand that I would just have to clear the interrupt.
15:51:21funmanhm I'll read the datasheet in details before making assumptions :)
15:52:50LambdaCalculus37kugel: The other reason why I wanted you to post the patch on Flyspray is so I can take a look at it as well.

16:09:39LambdaCalculus37kugel: I'll take a look through the patch and see if maybe I can zero in on the problem.
16:11:18kugelLambdaCalculus37: I don't understand why it's still ignoring the backlight setting. backlight_brightness initialized with the default brightness, but always modified within _backlight_set_brightness (which is supposed to be called when you change the setting)
16:13:16kugelapart from that, beast should be able to use real pwn fading
16:19:37jhMikeSbeast bl fading? I tried to use that but the HW fading really kind of well, sucks. it doesn't reverse the cycle in the middle of a fade.
16:20:28LambdaCalculus37jhMikeS: Hey there! Want to take a look at FS #6800?
16:20:30jhMikeSI could have done something wrong of course but I wasn't too encouraged.
16:20:44jhMikeS#6800? That's sounds rather ancient.
16:21:08LambdaCalculus37kugel was working on a newer version of it, and I also made a version of the patch synced to recent SVN.
16:22:10kugeljhMikeS: ancient yes, due to rotting
16:22:22kugelit's a nice patch
16:23:26kugeljhMikeS: you might want to take a look at the latest version I just uploaded some minutes ago
16:23:42jhMikeSto start with we can disable the HW fade though
16:24:25kugelcan we? is "fading in software" preferable over hw fading?

16:26:24jhMikeSthat's where the problem was. the datasheet tells how to do it. like I said, the ramp doesn't seem to be interruptable.
16:26:51LambdaCalculus37jhMikeS: Is the datasheet up in the wiki?
16:27:02kugelso, software fade is preferable over a mix of both?
16:27:04jhMikeSno, it's NDA crap
16:27:23LambdaCalculus37Crap. :(
16:27:44funkydoes anyone here use his ipod throuhg a dockstation? it doesn't work

16:30:38kugeljhMikeS, LambdaCalculus37: the patch at fs#6800 is performing well. it uses the backlight thread and can be interrupted while fading
16:31:21kugelI don't think I get the hardware to work. I haven't messed with beast at all, as I don't own it
16:31:40*jhMikeS just wants to think about committing the charging code and then doing and powermgmt reworking
16:32:56jhMikeSdoesn't SW fading cause little flashes of extra brightness betwee steps?
16:32:56kugeljhMikeS: I heard the beast cannot really charge on a usb connection because of the disk spinning all the time. can this be fixed (I doubt it's intended)
16:33:14kugeljhMikeS: not this one
16:33:26jhMikeSkugel: I should be fixable if the disk will spin down while connected
16:34:09jhMikeSkugel: Getting all those levels was sort of a hack. I think it is only happens when ramping brigtness up.
16:34:31kugelfeel free to try the patch. I've added basic (not really working) support for gigabeat s, but it works just fine on c200&e200
16:35:02jhMikeSkugel: okiedokie. how many levels hath the e200?
16:35:28kugel12, I'm using 5 though and it still looks great
16:37:53*jhMikeS 's e200 is being charged for now
16:38:17funmanin fact timer2 isn't used by the hardware, it is used by the software for its own timing management

17:21:37linuxstbfunman: UCL compresses the 119336 byte Clip firmware (v1.1.17a) to 77964 bytes, so would give us a fair amount of space for a bootloader...

17:29:51LambdaCalculus37I want to make sure the battery's got enough charge.
17:29:53wpyhI'm trying to make the settings menu more user-friendly by moving things around. Here is a preliminary patch: http://pastebin.ca/1214352
17:31:00wpyhso far, some concerns have been raised: the patch makes it easy for regular users, while making it more difficult/complicated for advanced users to change sound settings
17:32:08wpyhthe reason is that I'm hiding seldom-used settings under a new submenu "Advanced Sound Settings", advanced users who want to modify advanced settings would have to make a few more clicks than they have to with the current state.
17:32:58wpyhDoes anyone have any idea how to make the menu simpler for regular users to use (to not scare them away), but not more complicated for advanced users?
17:37:09kugelwhat's the benifit of putting stuff simply into a submenu?
17:37:22 Quit webguest85 ("CGI:IRC (EOF)")
17:38:04kugelI'm all for some rearrangement, but that's not what I would call beneficial
17:39:02wpyhkugel: the benefit is that the Sound Settings menu would become less cluttered.
17:39:19wpyhAlthough I see that devs don't like it...
17:39:29kugelif it's too complicated for the users, they'll ignore it. What makes you think they're scared and what's the result of the scare
17:40:01kugelI'm not a dev and I don't like it very much either
17:40:43kugelit's basically just hiding some options for some people and making ways longer for the other people
17:41:05wpyhI think it scares users away because it's too complicated −− the menu is full of options that people seldom use
17:41:14kugeland new users tend to click on advanced at least once anyway, which kills the "they're scared" argument
17:43:48LambdaCalculus37kugel: How many people have probably clicked on "Debug (Keep Out!)" as well?
17:44:15wpyhkugel: yes, but they will realize that "ah, this is not the place for me" and will never go there again
17:44:16kugelmasses
17:44:32kugelespecially since the "keep out" only appears in english.lang
17:45:14kugelwpyh: so you actually intend to keep users away from the settings which make rockbox to what it is?

17:45:38kugelLambdaCalculus37: updated the build, link is the same

17:46:51kugelLambdaCalculus37: oh, how could I forget about tagalog! :S
17:47:07wpyhyeah
17:47:28kugelanyway, I correct my self to "not appearing in most languages"
17:47:47funmanlinuxstb: indeed sounds like a very good idea
17:47:54wpyhkugel: I would not view those settings as "which make rockbox what it is", but yes, I intend to hide regular users from the more advanced settings
17:48:23linuxstbfunman: Does the OF copy itself from ROM to RAM?
17:48:36wpyhI think we should work out some solution that does not make it difficult for advanced users...
17:48:48funmanI don't really know but I can search a copy routine
17:48:51LambdaCalculus37wpyh: But it's also a matter of knowing exactly what's a "more advanced setting" to average users. Some people may enjoy the more complicated settings.
17:49:04kugelwell, I mainly use rockbox because of it's advanced audio features and costumizability of audio experience (and UI ofc). Also, that's what it's designed fo

17:49:52LambdaCalculus37wpyh: I think the best way to do this is to post a patch to Flyspray, and (if you're up to it) maybe offering a unofficial build on the forum that has the patch applied.
17:50:04linuxstbfunman: Because if it does, I think we may need patch the firmware remove that feature...
17:50:04LambdaCalculus37Then people can try it and give you feedback on what they do and don't like.

18:01:16 Quit petur ("gonne")

18:01:48LambdaCalculus37If I try turning the backlight on with a button press, it comes back on, but very dim. If I touch any button when the backlight raises to max brightness, the backlight gets "stuck" at that brightness.
18:02:21kugeldoes setting the backlight in the settings do anything now at least?

18:11:03 Quit perrikwp ("http://www.mibbit.com ajax IRC Client")
18:11:15funmanin fact it seems to assume it's already in RAM (after changing the coprocessor register cp15)
18:11:56funmanwhile during my tests, I couldn't write to the memory below 128kB, unless I had remapped the RAM at offset 0 (which is done by a special register, unused in the OF)
18:12:55funmanweirdly, in my first test, I remapped the RAM at offset 0 but didn't copy the full OF first, which led me think that the AS3525 already had copied the ROM content into RAM
18:13:11LambdaCalculus37kugel: Now the backlight fades, but if I let it fade entirely, no amount of button pressing makes it snap back on.
18:13:22LambdaCalculus37If I catch it in the middle of fading, it raises to max brightness.
18:13:28funmanbut now looking at the code I think when it boots it's already in RAM and I did a wrong test back then
18:13:37funmanI'll check exactly what it changes in cp15
18:13:53kugelLambdaCalculus37: so it goes back on after fading?
18:14:14linuxstbfunman: So maybe there is a first-level bootloader that copies the contents of the ROM to RAM?
18:14:18LambdaCalculus37kugel: No, it doesn't.
18:14:25*linuxstb checks the datasheet
18:14:33kugelah you mean you can't turn it on anymore?
18:14:34LambdaCalculus37It's almost like the LCD turns off entirely.
18:14:55LambdaCalculus37kugel: Right!
18:15:40kugelok, I think what's causing it
18:15:52kugelbut you can get it on by restarting?
18:16:16kugelif possible, do a quick check if the backlight setting is working now
18:16:34LambdaCalculus37kugel: The backlight setting still doesn't do anything.
18:16:52*kugel can't explain that
18:17:23kugeldoes it still go to max brightness before fading down?
18:17:45linuxstbfunman: Have you tested (for example), writing to a PC-relative address in the bootloader code, and then reading the value back? This would tell us if we're running from ROM or RAM.
18:18:10LambdaCalculus37kugel: Still does, and I can still press a button and "catch" that setting.

18:28:18funmanI see no cross reference in IDA, I looked for all the CCU registers
18:29:06funmanbecause sometimes it loads a register, and sub/add a few offsets from it
18:30:14funmanafter modifying cp15, the OF clears memory, descending from SP to the end of firmware block (hence, below 128kB)

20:45:22linuxstbamiconn: Do you know anything about "in-place" UCL decompression? Looking at firmware/decompressor/decompressor.c, that code appears to copy the compressed image to the end of RAM before uncompressing it, but the UCL docs claim the format can be decompressed in-place...
20:45:26zei saw someone a while back talking about a particular unit being technically capable of it... no idea if it even panned out to be usable as such, or which unit it was, etc
20:45:36gevaertsx1jmp: I'm not sure if it can, but it will have to downsample it to 16 bit 44.1kHz anyway, as that's what the hardware handles
20:46:04gevaertsSo it doesn't make much sense to put higher quality files on the player
20:46:34 Quit makicar ()
20:46:42amiconnlinuxstb: I have no idea. The thinned-out decompressor definitely doesn't support in-place decompression. And the code does not just appear to copy, it does copy ;)
20:47:14linuxstbamiconn: OK, I'll search the UCL source...
20:47:25amiconnlinuxstb: Btw, I think it would make sense to use thumb on the logicdax for most things (if not all..)
20:47:35x1jmpgevaerts: ah, thanks for that information, that answers my question...
20:48:21bill2or3is the source for the (iRiver) bootloader patch available? I have a wierd problem booting my H340 and I think seeing that source would help me debug it.
20:50:50 Quit Peter15 ()
20:51:28linuxstbamiconn: Seems that for in-place decompression, you just put the compressed image at the end of the "output buffer" and use the same decompress function.
20:52:06 Join hannesd [0] (n=light@p5B163307.dip0.t-ipconnect.de)
20:52:42amiconnAh, so you have to move the data anyway (if it's not yet where it has to be)
20:52:52linuxstbYes, not what I would have called "in-place"...
20:53:21amiconnAnd in case of decompressor.c it's just not worth calculating the necessary position. We don't lose any ram by putting it at the end. It's temporary anyway
20:56:20linuxstbI think it will be needed in the case of the Sansa V2 bootloaders though - we don't (yet) know what's in the rest of RAM, so it's risky to write to it. So this means we can stay completely in the part of RAM the OF is loaded to.
20:56:23*amiconn thinks that this in-place decompression is only useful when loading compressed data from disk

23:43:46kugelfunman: have you read my answer to linuxstb's post?
23:44:03jfb9301thanks, I sure hope someone does. I was trying to modify a WPS to have both a progress bar and a peak meter that was not the run of the mill monochrome one
23:44:24funmankugel: yes but I am not sure of the right answer
23:44:56linuxstbjfb9301: You can define a viewport with custom colours (and width), and put the peakmeter in there, but I think that's all...
23:45:18*pixelma deletes similar suggestion from input line
23:45:39jfb9301the manual also does not mention if rockbox now supports APEv2 tags, I searched the web and it appeared that it did not, yet replaygain seems to function as if rockbox does recognize APEv2
23:46:10linuxstbjfb9301: It supports APEv2 tags for files where it's the native tag format. For MP3 Rockbox only supports id3v1 and id3v2
23:46:27jfb9301custom colors and width? where might i research that?
23:46:39linuxstbjfb9301: Read about viewports in the CustomWPS wiki page
23:46:58jfb9301customwps wiki page, got it

23:48:24linuxstbkugel: How do you know that the player doesn't update itself after you dd the new firmware to the NAND? And how do you know you're dd'ing to the NAND, and not a RAM disk (like the e200v1 recovery mode)
23:48:40jfb9301odd about the apev2, when no apev2 was present, 50% of the time my mp3s would clip out. using mp3gain (which only creates APEv2) appeared to make rockbox function in replay gain
23:48:45*linuxstb doesn't know about the e200v2's recovery mode...
23:49:06bluebrotherjfb9301: are you sure mp3gain writes replaygain tags?
23:49:29funmanlinuxstb: why using ucl ? we don't need to pack an executable and another algorithm might give use more room, even if the function which decompresses it is longer than the ucl one
23:49:34bluebrotherI remember some tool that used ape tags to remember the original amplification and changing it in the files directly
23:49:55Unhelpfuljfb9301: unless you tell it to do otherwise, it will actually rewrite the files, and record undo data in ape tags... i *think*.
23:49:57linuxstbfunman: You're confusing upx and ucl

23:50:11jfb9301mp3gain writes gain tags as APEv2 tags, but not to the id3 tags
23:50:41kugellinuxstb: the firmware is written to the firmware partition. As I said, I might've gotten it wrong, I don't have a e200v2
23:50:42ameyerUnhelpful: I think you're right.
23:50:42linuxstbfunman: The advantage of ucl is that it decompresses very fast, and the decompression code is tiny (180 bytes for thumb) Show me another decompression function that small...
23:50:54jfb9301I made sure I was not rewriting the files, but just gain tags
23:51:08funmanlinuxstb: right, it presents very good features (no memory for decompression also)
23:51:44linuxstbfunman: Yes, that's the other good feature for us - we can do all of this within the space of the original firmware.
23:52:25bluebrotherjfb9301: well, if it stores "undo" information as the FAQ says it's not only tags like the ReplayGain Rockbox supports
23:52:50bluebrotheralso, ReplayGain has two tags: album and track gain

23:54:58hospadarSo I just canned my zen so I could buy a gigabeat and play with rockbox
23:55:05hospadarand I'm wondering about developing for it
23:55:20linuxstbWhich gigabeat?
23:55:25hospadarwhere would I go to find out who needs what written
23:55:29hospadaran F40

23:56:06linuxstbThere's not that much left that's specific to the F40. The main missing "hardware feature" is I think to flash a Rockbox bootloader to the flash ROM, which kkurbjun is (slowly) working on.
23:56:21 Quit jgarvey ("Leaving")
23:56:30hospadarwell is there general stuff that needs to be worked at all?
23:56:46bluebrotherjfb9301: from the wikipedia article it _does_ modify the files, and thus it works differently than the ReplayGain tags Rockbox supports: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MP3Gain
23:56:53linuxstbhospadar: Yes, everything ;)
23:57:36jfb9301bluebrother, what you are saying seems to make things make a little more sense. while my files were no longer clipping, the preamp gain of the replay gain was not funtioning.
23:58:09linuxstbhospadar: You should simply download the source and start fixing things you don't like, or implement new features... The bug/patch tracker could be a good place to start - either fixing bugs, or working on patches to get them to commit-quality.
23:58:16bluebrothersure. I looked at that software a while ago myself when searching for a tool to add replaygain tags to mp3 files.
23:58:27bluebrotherfortunately my music is now ogg ;-)
23:58:34jfb9301so, from that maybe mp3gain adjusted the gain of the mp3 and stored the undo in the apev2 tag. like you said.
23:58:48jfb9301so, how do i ad replaygain to the id3 tags?
