#rockbox log for 2008-10-09

00:00:03bluebrotheryou can't see them in the virtual keyboard ;-)
00:00:21XavierGrbluebrother: ah lol, well you can count the presses :P
00:00:55bluebrothertrue, but users will be annoyed about that ;-)
00:01:14bluebrotherMaybe better make it a hidden setting :)
00:01:29Buschelsaratoga: will do, if i find the time. your results are quite interesting and promising :-)

00:03:09XavierGrbluebrother: will try to make it tomorrow, seems that way all will be pleased.
00:03:51n1sbluebrother, XavierGr imho hidden settings are not nice, I know we have some but i don't think we should add more
00:04:23XavierGrn1s: it can be done as a normal setting too
00:04:44bluebrothern1s: I agree. That comment wasn't meant completely serious
00:04:49XavierGrand I can't say I am in favour of hidden settings
00:04:57n1sI would prefer that (even though i will never use it)
00:05:37*bluebrother would like to see the inline settings things again A_M did ... like 2 years ago or so
00:07:27XavierGrn1s: my current scrolling problem is that I can't focus on the string, missing the start of it. In the end I can't read it when I don't look closely
00:08:01XavierGrHaving a padding in scrolling text (a recognisable pattern or simple space) enables me to recognize the end/start of the string more easily

00:16:11amiconnSleeping them when not in use is still a good thing
00:17:42amiconnXavierGr: I do use my player(s) in the car and I often do have rather long scrolling lines, yet I never had a problem with the scroll spacing...

00:31:08Waldo000000re: the scrolling, why not just have a few spaces, let's say...5? why does this need to be a setting? whose needs would 5 spaces not meet?
00:31:56amiconnWaldo000000: Atm it does just that (3 spaces)
00:33:24Waldo000000amiconn: ah. then a setting for the number of spaces would be my vote. don't see any need for any characters other than a space
00:34:27*amiconn doesn't see the need for the setting either, but a simple option might not be too bad

00:41:50XavierGrwell that's the problem, spaces are enough for me, but other people would want something else. If it is going to be a setting it wouldn't hurt more to make the user input his string. Binsize wise it should be almost the same
00:42:51sjekevening, was on a few days ago. Installed rockbox (latest build) on a 1stgen nano, left it on to charge and it became irresponsive an hour later. No backlight, not recognised by computer, wont boot at all. Tried menu+select for 120s, no response. It was suggested that it was a problem with the battery running too low and I should leave it to charge. It's been charging (from a powered usb hub) for 48 hours, still unresponsive, me

01:33:20XavierGrWaldo00000: fml said he wanted "+++" because winamp does it, also bluebrother said something similar (and later had the idea of custom padding string)

01:56:53MndFlayrI am currently considering one of the following: sansa e200 v2, cowon d2, creative zen x-fi
01:57:53MndFlayrat the moment the d2 seems the best choice, as it is able to play ogg's even without rockbox. Also it seems that its rockbox-port seems to be the most progressed of the three.

02:01:43MndFlayrIs there any chance of a working zen or e200v2-port in the near future?

08:35:41amiconnB4gder: I am wondering about my build server. The stats show that it usually does 2 builds. However, /home/rbclient only contains one build-* directory that was touched recently. The others were last touched months ago
08:38:05amiconnAlso, there aren't as many build-* directories as I would expect given how long this server is already part of the build system
08:39:10amiconnHmm, does the build system usually remove the build-* directories, and it's just that this didn't work a few times?

08:50:13B4gderobviously

08:50:59B4gderon my server, there's only one left after April
08:51:26amiconnMy last one was from 7 Oct. The others were from April (most even from 2007)
08:51:36amiconnI've cleaned them now
08:51:37B4gderOct 7 on mine too
08:52:23amiconn22:30-ish. Maybe that happens when the master hangs and the build is restarted?
08:52:36B4gderyes seems like it might be that
08:52:52B4gderaround 22:30 for me too
08:53:13B4gderoh and yes that's why
08:53:52B4gderthe restart is done by the build master script just doing exit, so it won't even try to cleanup remainders

10:04:51alpineSponseegrr
10:05:21alpineSponseecan anyone reccomend the best conversion to covert FLAC to to get the quality (best mp3 conversion)
10:05:21BigBambiYou can only do whatever your headunit can do
10:05:35BigBambiMP3 to FLAC will never be better than the MP3
10:05:45alpineSponseei meant FLAC to mp3
10:05:50BigBambiYou cqn't make the bits you threw away when converting to MP3 come back
10:06:06BigBambialpineSponsee: LAME, but this is off topic now
10:06:22alpineSponseeno, i have a library of FLAC files....

10:34:28Zagorall harddrives support look-ahead. no flash cards do.
10:34:44Zagor(of those in the list)
10:35:22Zagorword 82, bit 6
10:36:40Waldo000000am i right in understanding that the definitions in pluginlib_actions.h (PLA_UP, PLA_DOWN, etc) be used in new plugins rather than BUTTON_*, where possible?
10:37:03ZagorWaldo000000: if suitable
10:37:09Waldo000000and that's to encourage consistency between plugins?
10:37:26Waldo000000Zagor: can you give an example where that wouldn't be suitable?
10:37:52BigBambiWaldo000000: ask pixelma about problems in the plugin button library
10:38:08ZagorWaldo000000: some plugins are so complex they cannot use the same button mapping for all targets. targets differ very much in their button sets.
10:38:13BigBambiI know she has encountered some and should be able to give good examples
10:39:16pixelmahuh, I could only give examples where that PLA system does not work
10:39:33BigBambiThat's what I meant
10:39:45pixelmavery few plugins are suitable for this in my opinion
10:41:41pixelmatry metronome on c200/Ondio/Player - it is not fully controllable and with the combining of PLA contexts and the definitions hidden away in another file it is even hard to find out what happens (and what not)
10:41:44Waldo000000so....are you saying that pluginlib_actions.c essentially has errors (or omissions)? If it had no errors, then you could safely use the PLA_* as defined in pluginlib_actions.h - right?
10:43:39Waldo000000pixelma: can't you just search for "SANSA_C200_PAD" in the .c file, to find the 17 or so definitions for the PLA_* names?
10:43:44pixelmaas Zagor said, this simplification seems to not be working in real life and leads to - not working correctly things and obfuscation are button maps that are not as good (intuitive) as could be because this system does not allow this
10:44:14pixelmaor changes to it would break another plugin
10:45:26Waldo000000pixelma: do you think this is because some details in pluginlib_actions.c need to be adjusted, or that there is a problem with the approach to begin with? if the latter, what do you think is a better approach?
10:46:34pixelmaWaldo000000: sure but this does not simply explain why things are not working because the same button is mapped to different actions, used in different contexts and people started combining contexts (in the plugin) and this gives problems
10:47:44pixelmaI think that approach doesn't work for most plugins, only a few - and if it is used people should not use more than one context
10:49:18pixelmathe plugins with different control schemes and players with different placement of buttons and technical limitations are just too many for such a generic approch (in my eyes)
10:50:08Waldo000000"more than one context"? sorry, i'm just starting out with plugins here, reading HowtoVerifyPlugins, which suggests using PLA - how do you suggest i approach the issue of button mapping, as a first time plugin developer?
10:51:09pixelmaI would not use PLA unless the plugin has a simple left/right/up/down/select control scheme
10:51:47pixelmaotherwise define button mappings in the plugin itself
10:52:35 Quit Darksair ("To Arch or Gentoo? That is the question...")
10:52:47linuxstbI think even that can break on targets with wheels - i.e. when do you use the wheel for directional movement, and when not?

10:53:38 Join einhirn [0] (i=Miranda@bsod.rz.tu-clausthal.de)
10:54:39pixelmawell, just use PLA when you want to use the buttons for directional movement then... ;) something like this was discussed at the developers conference
10:54:40Waldo000000pixelma: and by "define button mappings in the plugin itself", you mean, for each target (with a bunch of if CONFIG_KEYPAD == ...) with #define DO_SOMETHING BUTTON_*, right?
10:55:28pixelmayes, mainly
10:56:23***Saving seen data "./dancer.seen"
10:57:16Waldo000000interesting. so, given that i have an mr100 (only), if i was to write a plugin, i would have to "guess" the appropriate button mappings for other targets, for example by looking at other plugin's code, or relying on others to fill it in
10:57:23pixelmalinuxstb: the wheel for directional movement problem is even bigger - sometimes the wheel might be suited better for left/right (e.g. in Bubbles) sometimes better for up/down
10:57:52linuxstbpixelma: Exactly.
10:58:47BigBambiWaldo000000: You can look in the manual for layout etc
10:59:20Waldo000000BigBambi: k, thanks.
10:59:26Waldo000000thanks all, interesting. see yas later
10:59:27 Part Waldo000000
10:59:30pixelmaWaldo000000: currently yes, but with PLA it's not given that you will get a better solution - it could be that the controls aren't working (at least partially) or are really awkward
10:59:35pixelmameh

11:10:20linuxstbpixelma: Does the manual include text describing the button layout of a device and how they are generally used in Rockbox? Maybe something could be automated from there.
11:13:13pixelmathere are the players' SVGs which label the buttons and the description for the blind. I don't think there is an explanation about how they are used generally and no description of restrictions (things like no button combos except with "Power", so pretty useless, on the X5/M5 pad etc.)

15:21:16pondlifeHello all.
15:21:27Zagorhi
15:21:50pondlifeIn an attempt to save some binsize, I made some enum fields into unsigned chars, rather than ints.
15:22:06pondlifehttp://www.pastebin.ca/1223692
15:22:17pondlifeSadly this appears to make the bin bigger
15:22:24pondlifeAnyone able to educate me?
15:22:45Zagorpondlife: which target?
15:22:47pondlifeH300
15:23:14pondlifeIt shrinks the RAM total (in rockbox-info.txt), but grows the binary.
15:23:30GodEaterthat's clever of you
15:23:46robin0800GodEater: because at present I'm only slowly getting into linux and have nothig important that needs to be kept on this laptop
15:24:11GodEaterupgrading from one distro version to another is an important thing to learn ;)
15:24:18pondlifeMe? Clever? Never.
15:24:27GodEaterand ideally attempted when you have nothing important ;)
15:24:33n1spondlife: iirc that's because loading/storing a char requires more code (not sure what exactly, perhaps a whole work load plus mask)
15:24:34GodEaterpondlife: you hide it well ;)
15:24:39Zagorwild speculation: some cpus don't have 8/16-bit access functions and instead solves such operations with 32-bit access and bitmasking.
15:24:52n1ss/work/word/
15:25:01ZagorI've worked on some arms like that. don't know how the core in h300 is though
15:25:05pondlifeThat would make sense... so no amount of casting could help.
15:25:36GodEaterpondlife: is the binsize on the H300 troubling you that much ?
15:25:47pondlifeNo, but every bit helps
15:25:56GodEaterhelps to do what ?
15:26:03pondlifeSave battery, ultimately
15:26:15pondlifeOr make more room for nice features
15:26:28GodEaterwhich you can complain about the binsize price for? :)
15:26:42pondlifeNot if I like the feature ;)
15:27:02*GodEater tries to remember the last feature that pondlife liked
15:27:07n1spondlife: also in a struct, gcc will align the char to int size because it is between two ints so you save 3 bytes but add 3 bytes of padding there
15:28:13*pondlife remembers liking metadata-on-buffer...
15:28:28*n1s sees now that one of the struct vars is a pointer so it does of course not apply there
15:28:47pondlifeIndeed. But maybe some of the others could be smaller.
15:28:51*GodEater remembers pondlife not liking all the initial bugs with it though ;)
15:29:19n1sbtw I managed to save several kB's of ram in some wps structs by storing enums in chars a while ago so it can definitely be worth it
15:29:23pondlifehehe, no.. I miss them and occastionally run old revs just for nostagia's sake.
15:29:30*Zagor subtly suggests pondlife could spend his efforts on more useful things :)
15:29:31GodEaterhahahaha

15:38:38GodEaterfwiw, you get build warnings on a standard rockbox build too, I suspect because of the same issue
15:39:04ZagorI'd say a gcc patch is the better option then
15:41:04GodEaterthat wouldn't apply to the host's gcc though

21:00:15PhotoguyI'm talking about the e200. :P
21:00:17gevaertsWas it? The original firmware for the first rockbox players didn't even support bitmap displays

21:07:19PhotoguyAfter using the Sandisk media converter, they are in quicktime .mov format
21:07:30amiconn.mov isn't a format, it's a container

21:56:41b4taylorgevaerts: When it was refreshing the DB.
21:56:54shotofaddsno, but the indeterminate behaviour possibly points to some kind of stack or interrupt problem
21:56:54PhotoguyAre there any custom builds...
21:56:58gevaertsb4taylor: I mean, is your player bricked whenever you turn it off?
21:57:03BigBambib4taylor: He meant that when you turn it off, by your definition it is bricked
21:57:09b4taylorgevaerts: Oh.
21:57:10mcuelenaerestack problem? you mean stack overflow?
21:57:34mcuelenaereand interrupts problem can't be caused by the nand_id code
21:58:03shotofaddsmcuelenaere: I didn't say it was caused by it. That's just where the problem becomes apparent

22:21:23crashmatrixI haven't done anything out of the ordinary with the thing, and I'm about to reflash the thing, but I'm wondering if this has happened before and/or if it's a common problem with 5.5G ipoots
22:23:33markuncrashmatrix: I have no clue what it could be, hope that someone else can help you
22:23:50PhotoguySorry.
22:23:55crashmatrixmeh, it's mostly my fault for getting a ipoot in the first place :)
22:24:37PhotoguyQuestion...
22:24:39markuncrashmatrix: a lot of people have them. I don't think they are the best, but neither are they the worst (hardware wise)
22:24:54BigBambiPhotoguy: Just ask
22:24:55PhotoguyHow can I make the Dict plugin to work?

23:49:47amiconnGcc 4.3.x enables a warning for out-of-bounds array acesses by default, and binutils 2.17 (and higher) build with -Werror by default...
