#rockbox log for 2008-10-22

00:00:43*LambdaCalculus37 found one reference to the PID of the iPhone
00:00:50LambdaCalculus37The PID is 0x1222.
00:00:58LambdaCalculus37But that doesn't help me with the nano.
00:01:52mcuelenaereit's weird, but there 'hash' would be an image_attr_t (see meizu_dfu.c), but it's just half of that struct

00:04:49mcuelenaeregevaerts: does that make any sense to you?
00:05:01linuxstbmcuelenaere: Do you know how DFU mode works in general? Does it upload an image which is then installed by software already running on the device, or does it upload code which is run directly?
00:05:22 Quit matsl (Remote closed the connection)
00:05:36mcuelenaereit is similar to the TCC/Onda/.. USB mode
00:05:45mcuelenaere(I think)
00:05:50mcuelenaereso it should run code from RAM
00:06:09linuxstbOK, so it's basically a standard form of usb boot/
00:06:10linuxstb?
00:06:13gevaertsmcuelenaere: no idea 'm afraid
00:06:24mcuelenaerewhat I'm sure is that the code running the DFU mode is written in hardware
00:06:32mcuelenaereie it can't be changed with a fw upgrade
00:06:38gevaertslinuxstb: DFU doesn't actually specify very much about that if I understand it correctly
00:06:41mcuelenaerebut it can (and will) be Apple-customized

01:20:36pixelmalinuxstb: also different formats as I already said
01:20:44linuxstbThe recent suspicious commits would be n1s's commit to remove the malloc buffer, and Zagor's commit to reorganise the metadata. I can't think why it would be Windows specific though...
01:21:08linuxstbpixelma: Which sim did you build? I build an iPod Color
01:21:10RiyonukUnexpected conditional char after token 2, hmm
01:21:21kushal_12_27_200I am on a win xp sp2 machine right now
01:21:24pixelmalinuxstb: c200, the metadata is displayed correctly
01:21:25RiyonukI'm guessing it's something to do with this "%P|pb.bmp|"
01:22:54linuxstbRiyonuk: Yes, the %P tag doesn't exist any more.
01:23:13krazykitkushal_12_27_200, perhaps try a different port on the computer, or a different computer altogether. i'm really not familiar with windows
01:23:21pixelmaRiyonuk: the %P tag and the %pb tag were merged. There is a forum thread about the changes
01:23:43RiyonukInteresting..
01:24:23Riyonukthink you could link me?
01:24:48scorche|shshe would have to do the same searching that you would have to do, likely
01:25:04RiyonukSearch for what though? %P doesn't bring results
01:25:39pixelmasomewhere in the WPS subforums, it's probably still on the first page of it
01:26:33kushal_12_27_200krazykit, I experienced the same on my Intel Macbook before
01:26:45RiyonukOh, I found it :P
01:27:01krazykitkushal_12_27_200, if osx has something like dmesg, you could plug it in and see if it gets detected at all
01:28:35pixelmalinuxstb: r18833 (right before n1s' changes plays fine), I'm compiling r18834 right now
01:29:17Riyonukpixelma, so you said earlier playing mp3 crashes for you too? So where do I get a copy that doesn't?
01:29:48kushal_12_27_200krazykit, call me crazy but it worked on the other port in the windows computer. The only thing I did different was that I held the left key on sansa until OF was fully loaded.

01:35:33RiyonukSorry, pixelma, where might I obtain an older release?
01:35:40kushal_12_27_200ok, should I change it to autodetect?

01:38:12linuxstbRiyonuk: Or wait until the bug is fixed.
01:38:21kushal_12_27_200if you meant MTP = autodetect, it is not in that mode

02:11:13tonyspeaksHi. Domonoky asked me to find out something for him about a problematic filename for making .talk clips. Anyone know if he is likely to be here soon tonight?
02:12:04pixelma2Riyonuk: you gave the progressbar a length of 0, look at your parameters - the meaning of the numbers (and their order) has changed too. I'd still recommend searching that forum thread. Interesting error though
02:12:24RiyonukThat's what the original author did, I don't understand it either :P
02:13:06linuxstbtonyspeaks: Probably not - it's 2.12am in his timezone.
02:13:34tonyspeaksoh, well, I'll see him tomorrow then. Thanks a bunch.
02:13:52linuxstbtonyspeaks: But if you just mention the problem now, he may read the IRC logs (or I or others will point him to them)
02:14:52RiyonukOh, my theme is almost perfect :)
02:15:25tonyspeaksoh ok. He will remembver that there was a problem file that was generating an encoding error for talk clip generation with the rock box utility, and I found it it was a file with no name and only an extension thatt is located in the .rockbox folder. When I tried generating talk clips for that folder, that's where I got the error.
02:17:46linuxstbAh, so a file called something like ".rockbox/.mp3" ?
02:18:13tonyspeaksyeah, some thing like that. it was just a .talk filename with no name but only an extension.
02:19:17tonyspeaksI thought it was weird, but I wonder if the utility can be updated to bypass the .rockbox folder entirely, since it wouldn't be something that many people would access, or that maybe we can have a choice with a check box to have it generate talk clips for the .rockbox folder.
02:19:25linuxstbSo did you delete that file, and then it worked?
02:20:34tonyspeaksno. I had already generated the talk clips I needed, so I was only going through the other folders in the player to see which one would cause the error. That would be a good idea to reallyy isolate any other problem file names.

03:53:51tarelerul1I have the gigabeat f and I was wondering how good it was under rockbox? Any of you use it
03:55:06advcomp2019it is one of the better player from what i heard
03:56:02tarelerul1The part I wonder about the most is does it use controls well. So I can surf the play easy
03:57:04advcomp2019i do not have one so i am not sure
03:59:12tarelerul1What is like on your player ?
04:00
04:00:15advcomp2019i have a sansa e280R.. you could try it on your player to see how good it is
04:00:45cool_walking_tarelerul1: Obviously this channel is full of people who like Rockbox. If you don't want to install it, you can test the simulator on your PC: rasher.dk/rockbox/simulator/">http://rasher.dk/rockbox/simulator/
04:00:46tarelerul1I like to look before leep so to speak.
04:02:39cool_walking_Taking a look at the manual (linked on the left of every page on rockbox.org) will give you an idea of the features.
04:03:18tarelerul1Do any of you know how to import the songs from gigabeat? It has the cover art and tags .
04:04:35advcomp2019you can put the music anywhere.. you can read the AlbumArt wiki too
04:05:09 Join Riyonuk [0] (i=Riyo@69-4-48-239.hctc.net)
04:05:38RiyonukIs there an updated version of the custom config file wiki? http://www.rockbox.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/CustomConfigFile
04:06:25RiyonukI don't see "selector type: bar (color)", or "line selector start color: 00EB9C" anywhere. Did you guys purposely leave those out? Also, is it possible to have the selector bar transparent? As opposed to the solid color, or gradient? And is the gradient limited to only 2 colors?
04:06:40tarelerul1 The fact it encrypted the songs is lame. Even ipod don't do that. I am thinking about putting it on the gigabeat. Plus if it makes better play I am down. I hate the fact I need the software to use it .

04:10:33tarelerul1Does rockbox format the device ? I have use gigabeat as portable hard drive to and I have 20 movie just setting on it.
04:10:34advcomp2019tarelerul1, encrypted songs? they only songs with encryption is the DRM songs and rockbox will not play them
04:11:32purpledynastyHello everyone - this is my first time here - I've been using Rockbox for about a month on my e260, and joined the Rockbox email list about a week ago.
04:11:35 Quit synergist (Read error: 60 (Operation timed out))
04:12:32advcomp2019tarelerul1, as far as i know, it will not but since i do not have a gigabeat, i am not 100% sure on it
04:12:57advcomp2019purpledynasty, hello then
04:12:58purpledynastyIs there any reason why the database would keep corrupting where multiple copies of every track from certain albums (CD's) show up? Could it be happening because I've been updating the firmware to the nightly build almost daily?
04:13:55ameyerthe nightly build should be fairly stable.
04:14:30purpledynastyWhy does that keep happening? It forces me to initialize, and THAT causes me to lose runtime data (times played, rating, etc)
04:14:55tarelerul1advcomp2019: the reason I think it encrypted the songs is I renamed them to somet.mp3 and they did not play. They are named some.mp3.seg

04:18:18tarelerul1That is good. I wanted to keep the movies on it. and have system for my songs that was open.
04:18:29saratogai don't know what a seq file is, but if its not an mp3, and you renamed it mp3, then the database is unlikely ot be happy about it
04:18:40cool_walking_I don't have a Gigabeat F, but I have 3 types of Rockbox targets, including a Gigabeat S, and none are formatted by the install.

04:19:12cool_walking_The manual doesn't seem to mention anything about formatting in the installation process. I'm sure it would if that were the case.
04:20:16tarelerul1I would like to say the work you guys do is great. Opening up a device like the ipod is great idea. I mean most play don't support any other audio or video formats . most do ogg audio ,but not video format.
04:20:27saratogai think the only targets that need to be formated are HFS+ ipods
04:21:35tarelerul1thanks for being so helpful. I am sure what I asked is some where in the doc ,but sometimes find such is not easy at all.
04:21:41purpledynastyIf an HFS+ iPod is formatted - can it dual-boot and mount on a Mac after reformatting?
04:21:56saratogasure macos reads FAT32 fine
04:22:10cool_walking_purpledynasty: yes, but apparently the Mac can take a little longer recognising FAT32 partitions than HFS+
04:22:21purpledynastyOK - that means it will work in disk mode - but how about iTunes?
04:22:23tarelerul1Well, I have gigabeat and i am running Ubuntu so and it is formated to fat32 I think
04:23:01purpledynastyWhenever I've connected a Windows formatted iPod to my Macs it has asked to reformat first
04:23:22RiyonukIm curious on opinions, why would I need a txt viewer? Or image viewer? XD
04:23:34ameyerRiyonuk: why not?
04:24:02ameyeralthough, on a b&w target, it becomes "why not" and "why?"
04:24:02cool_walking_Riyonuk: I thought those were some of the least surprising plugins..
04:24:22tarelerul1Does it just do basic text file or something on the order of windows doc or open officess' formats?
04:24:37cool_walking_Just plain text.
04:24:57*ameyer assumes there have been some members of the "live music taping" community who have been involved in the development of rockbox
04:24:59cool_walking_You can open .doc, etc. files in the text viewer and probably be able to understand some of it..
04:25:21ameyerwhere stuff is circulated untagged with info in a text file
04:26:09RiyonukNo, I mean, what are some scenarios in which they would be useful? Just curious
04:26:20RiyonukPersonally, I don't see any reason for them, just wanted to know :)
04:26:21cool_walking_For keeping a todo list or something
04:26:27cool_walking_and for reading ebooks
04:27:18RiyonukAren't ebooks usually .pdf?
04:27:45cool_walking_ebooks come in a variety of formats. They can all be converted to .txt.
04:28:28RiyonukInteresting, I might see myself using it for grocery lists, or trig functions XD
04:28:41tarelerul1What is the database like for movies? Can you orginize them by tv show ,season , genre ect
04:29:14cool_walking_The database doesn't work with video. Video in Rockbox is relatively new.
04:29:37RiyonukUgh, I can't seem to find the volume .wps tag, anyone know? It's not %pv or %Sp
04:30:55tarelerul1When add cover art do you just add picture to the directory of say folder with the songs from album ?

04:35:47saratogaRiyonuk: typically only negative volume values are used, positive generally means you're clipping
04:36:01Riyonukclipping?
04:36:22RiyonukI wish it would be positive, and like go into red if it goes over 30 or something
04:36:30purpledynastyclipping = TOO LOUD
04:36:56Riyonuklol :P
04:37:09LloreanNo, clipping = "louder than can be represented by the numbers used, so information is lost and you get a weird audible effect"
04:37:36saratoga"red" in this case would be any positive value
04:38:03cool_walking_Riyonuk: Never made a WPS before, but I think you can do that with %?pv<0|1|2|3|4|5|6|7|8|9|10|11|12|13>
04:38:10purpledynastyand the pre-digital term, when needles pointed to VU dials - it was PINNING, so clipping = pinning
04:38:24saratogaclipping is not a digital term
04:39:00purpledynastyYes, but you never hear pinning the dials any more
04:40:38purpledynastyActually, I believe I used to use the term "I just blew out my amp" :)
04:40:42saratogaI don't think pinning means anything
04:43:09cool_walking_According to urbandictionary, 'childs way of saying "spinning"'.
04:44:29purpledynastyAccording to this, the term pegging and pinning of a VU meter are synonymous and I described them well: http://books.google.com/books?id=0e8SjtqlRfIC&pg=PA48&lpg=PA48&dq=pinning+a+vu+meter&source=web&ots=Geho7lNxUO&sig=pr2FNmBVpZ89OoKeMQu6dlSSIZU&hl=en&sa=X&oi=book_result&resnum=10&ct=result#PPA48,M1

04:52:08ameyerthe #2 most-used link in this channel ever: http://www.rockbox.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/PluginMpegplayer
04:52:20cool_walking_No multi-audio. There's a patch in the tracker for subtitles, I haven't used it though.
04:52:24ameyeror, as a short answer, "not particularly"
04:54:20tarelerul1Well, if it show videos period is ok with me. That would all be nice ,but I can live out it.
04:54:38tarelerul1I don't think the ipod supports such features .
04:54:39ameyeralso, I believe it's theoretically possible to encode a video with pre-rendered subtitles
04:55:03tarelerul1hardsubs is what you mean

04:56:26LloreanSince you have to transcode the video to fit the screen, picking a single audio track (since you'll usually only ever have one listener) and hardsubbing aren't really a significant problem.

04:57:52LloreanAs I said though, hardsubbing is an option
04:58:01LloreanThere's no real reason not to do it if you aren't going to be using the file elsewhere.

11:46:46B4gdercould it be related to the size of the codec and the memory buffer it gets loaded into now?
11:47:04B4gderI mean the alloc part perhaps isn't big enough?

11:47:37linuxstbNot all codecs use the malloc buffer - and even codecs that don't touch it (like mp3) break.
11:47:49pixelmais there something I could check or try to find out more?

11:49:22Nico_PI don't have much rockbox time ATM
11:50:12JdGordonok... its a 1 line change... can you have a quick look and decide if it should go in?
11:50:40JdGordon8124
11:53:00Nico_Plooking now
11:54:16Nico_Pwell it does look perfectly harmless, so if it fixes the problem, I don't see why it shouldn't go in
11:54:52JdGordonjust that it will hide the real issue which i guess is something in pcmbuf goes wierd when seeking?

11:57:06JdGordonok
11:57:11Nico_Pactually, I don't know it at all ;)
11:57:39JdGordonanyone know the reasons we can do voice while paused? is it because they are mixed in pcmbuf too early?
11:58:06Nico_Pdid you mean "can't"?
11:58:41JdGordonyes :p
11:59:35Nico_PAFAIK it's because pause is done by pausing PCM
11:59:58Nico_Pso yes, I guess it's because they're mixed in too early
12:00
12:00:30JdGordonany ideas how expensive mixing pcm is?
12:00:59linuxstbI think it's also because there is only one pcm buf. So if it's full of decoded audio, then you can't play other things. IIRC, this has been discussed a few times in the past, with the conclusion that we need multiple PCM buffers, and just-in-time mixing.
12:01:34JdGordonI was thinking about it during the last few days and I want to give it a try...
12:02:18linuxstbTry searching the IRC logs (possible for more than 1 or 2 years ago...) - I'm sure you'll find a discussion with jhMikeS, amiconn, preglow and others.

12:03:43JdGordonis mixing expensive?
12:04:02JdGordonor is it just lots of adding?
12:05:24linuxstbNo, I don't think it's expensive. There may even have been the suggestion that it was done in the ISR
12:05:56linuxstbBut as I said, best to find the previous discussions.

15:33:20JdGordonLambdaCalculus37: you pinged me a couple of days ago?
15:35:08preglowlinuxstb: thunk anymore on how to use the auto-generated codec memory info?
15:36:04linuxstbpreglow: You mean how to display it usefully?
15:36:21preglowaye
15:36:53preglowwe will probably just have to link to auto-updated files in some fashion, updating the wiki all the time will prove... boring
15:37:24preglowhmm, perhaps having the perl tool scan all map files, outputting html....
15:38:39B4gderisn't the problem still that the malloc use in some codecs still make those numbers a bit "random"?
15:38:56preglowB4gder: oh yeah, but target is that malloc will be gone anyway
15:39:01preglowand most codecs don't use malloc
15:39:03B4gderright
15:39:04preglowonly two major ones are left
15:39:17linuxstbMy idea was to have another file with a textual description of the malloc use of that codec, which the script will include in the output.
15:39:59B4gderone obvious use is of course to trim the codec buffer according to the largest codec + malloc case
15:40:28B4gderbut that isn't about presentation of the data...
15:40:35preglowif we malloc use is static enough across different files, sure
15:40:37linuxstbProblem is (I think) that some malloc usage is unbounded - Rockbox will currently fail on some files due to lack of memory
15:40:37preglowbut yeah :)
15:40:58preglowlinuxstb: oh? format?
15:41:19LambdaCalculus37JdGordon: Yes. I posted an OS X version of Sansapatcher to FS #9369 a couple of days ago. Want to give it a test run?
15:41:30linuxstbmp4 seektables are one thing that come to mind - I think some very long (and low bitrate) AAC files fail
15:41:40preglowLambdaCalculus37: you don't have native os x rockbox compiling going, do you? :>
15:41:43linuxstbBut maybe (hopefully) I'm wrong...
15:41:51preglowlinuxstb: ah, so no codec stuff
15:42:04LambdaCalculus37preglow: I do.
15:42:06preglowlinuxstb: seek tables are low priority, really, we should dump them if they're too long, so not a big problem
15:42:13JdGordonLambdaCalculus37: yeah, tomorow though... I dont have a usb cable going from it to my room :p
15:42:19preglowLambdaCalculus37: stellar! how'd you go about that? i can't even get cross compilers to build
15:42:22linuxstbpreglow: No, I don't know much about the insides of codecs - I just deal with the higher-level parts of codecs...
15:42:52preglowlinuxstb: vorbis, for example, could possibly go ahead and explode malloc buffer with a very large custom codebook
15:42:54linuxstbpreglow: MP4 seektables more than that - they're used when decoding as well (they store the lengths of frames)
15:43:00preglowhmm, no, probably doesn't have indices high enough
15:43:08preglowlinuxstb: bah...
15:43:16preglownow what the hell kind of a design is that
15:43:24LambdaCalculus37preglow: I just used rockboxdev.sh in the tools folder.
15:43:31linuxstbpreglow: But someone needs to dig into the two mp4 codecs and investigate and see if that can be changed.
15:43:34preglowLambdaCalculus37: interesting... and this is stock leopard?
15:43:36LambdaCalculus37It built the entire cross compiler and environment for me.
15:43:41LambdaCalculus37preglow: Tiger.
15:43:44preglowroit
15:43:47preglowthat might be it, then
15:44:10LambdaCalculus37preglow: Why, is Leopard giving you troubles?

18:34:58funmanIf I trust the setting of MPMCDynamicConfig0-3 registers and what we found in the OF, yes 2Mbytes for Clip, and 8 for E200v2
18:35:13funmanbertrik: you can use the git repo as a 'draft'
18:36:08funmanbut still, the SDRAM looks pretty big on the E200, I don't know where it could be hidden on the Clip
18:36:37funmanand saratoga had some arguments why it would be hard/expensive to put SDRAM inside the SoC package
18:37:38linuxstbAh, so the E200 definitely has an external SDRAM chip?
18:38:08linuxstbThe TCC SoCs (some versions) have 2MB embedded SDRAM - and these are used in very cheap flash players.
18:38:10funmanyes, it's very visible on the photos
18:38:18linuxstb(TCC=Telechips)
18:38:23bertrikI think we should stick to a single repository to avoid having to synchronise repositories. If the new code doesn't affect other targets, it should be put in rockbox svn, IMO
18:38:51funmanbertrik: I use the gitorious repo to share incomplete/broken code with other sansav2 hackers

18:39:28*linuxstb is also in favour of that - incomplete/broken code is fine in SVN at this early stage of a port (e.g. the e200v2 lcd driver)
18:39:34bertrikI think AMS/sandisk did a great job combining several types of electronics (analog, digital, etc.) in the SoC and 2 MB sounds doable to add
18:40:04domonokyfunman: why would it be difficult to integrate SDRAM into a SoC ? the memory structure itself shouldnt be a problem, as modern CPUs have x Mb cache, so Sd ram shouldnt be a problem..
18:40:22dionoeahi. Does USB charging work for e200v1 in rockbox?
18:40:30funmandomonoky: ask saratoga, not me (or maybe I have misunderstood him)
18:40:33*bertrik hides

18:42:06dionoeakind of weird :/
18:42:15dionoeahey funman !
18:42:28bertrikcrap can be exchanged via a pastebin, incomplete but correct stuff can be put in svn, IMO

18:43:40funmanof course Someone can take bits from the git repository I use and commit them to rockbox svn
18:43:56linuxstbfunman: Speaking personally, I would prefer that you committed crap to our SVN than your own GIT repository - it's nice if everyone is looking at the same code.
18:43:59bertrikdionoea, I think the 1% per half second is a general powermanagement feature
18:44:17dionoeabertrik: I didn't expect battery charging to be that fast :)
18:44:51funmanlinuxstb: since a very few people actually work on the sansav2 port I think all useful stuff has been committed to rockbox svn already
18:45:08bertrikdionoea, the battery reading in current rockbox is incorrect (way too high during charging) so that's why it keeps incrementing
18:45:20dionoeaah ok. Thanks.
18:45:51bertrik*incorrect during charging, I should say, when not charging the battery reading is OK
18:48:04linuxstbfunman: Sure, I don't think it's a big issue at the moment, but I just have bad memories of other ports, where lots of things happened outside Rockbox SVN, resulting in a) lots of work to sync to Rockbox SVN and finally commit; and b) strange code that nobody understands because it wasn't reviewed at the time it was written.

18:51:45saratogawhich telechips part has internal SDRAM?
18:52:11linuxstbSome of the tcc77x variations. They have different combinations of embedded NOR flash, audio codec and SDRAM.
18:52:26funmanlinuxstb: yes - leave for the mountains
18:53:28linuxstbsaratoga: http://www.rockbox.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/TelechipsInfo#Telechip_Versions - the tcc772 and tcc773. The tcc773 is in the Logik DAX.
18:53:47bertriklinuxstb, it's done basically. It uses polled mode though, while the OF seems to use interrupts.

18:55:22bertrikAs far as I can tell, the specific i2c bus I worked on is only used to communicate to the codec part of the as3525, so I made a simple API like as3525_codec_read(index) and as3525_codec_write(index, value) that reads or writes and hides the underlying i2c
18:55:46linuxstbAny idea if the bootloader is going to need i2c?
18:55:57saratogalinuxstb: thanks hadn't seen that
18:56:05bertrika transfer typically takes about 75 microseconds, or about 30 bits @ 400 kHz
18:56:12saratogai wonder if its actually on die or if they use two seperate dies
18:56:41bertriklinuxstb, I think the bootloader does not need i2c
18:57:05funmanIIRC the i2c is initialized after the SD
18:57:26linuxstbsaratoga: No idea. But the tcc820x appears to come in variations with up to 8MB SDRAM...
18:57:56*domonoky would think that they just uses a softcore for the as, added needed parts, compiled them, and send them to some manufacturer, creating something called a asic :-)
18:58:26bertrikthe codec part contains the audio volume/levels, audio inputs, charger, supply voltages, unique id, rtc, adc
19:00
19:01:25bertrikthe code is disappointingly simple compared to how complicated it look in the OF :)
19:01:46n1spreglow: do you think it would be worthwhile to try to borrow stuff from the Tremor low-mem branch to get rid of (some of) the mallocs in our tremor codec? It does seem to use less mallocs from a quick glance.
19:02:32linuxstbn1s: I thought the lowmem branch sacrificed some speed for lower memory usage?

19:18:45Slasheriamiconn: yes, there will.. :/
19:19:26roolkuNico_P: hi, I noticed interest in FS #8295 :)
19:19:34Slasheriamiconn: just wondering nobody has fixed it yet.. i will try to have a look at some weekend
19:19:38amiconnNico_P: The possible zoom levels are 1/8, 1/4, 1/2 and 1
19:19:57Nico_PSlasheri: it *seems* to me that the patch adds a char buffer to all DB entries, but I really don't know much about the DB. what I was thinking would be good is having a table of all cover bitmaps, and track entries could have "pointers" to entries of the covers table
19:20:05amiconnAnd the decoder could tell the resolution, so that the client could select the best match
19:20:36Nico_Proolku: hi :) yes, I'm interested
19:20:40amiconnBeing yuv means you need to do the yuv->rgb conversion in the core as well. This is not the same yuv as mpeg, btw
19:21:13amiconn(the yuv problem obviously doesn't apply to greyscale targets, there you will have to dither instead)
19:21:41Nico_Pamiconn: hmm and we'd also need to resize after doing the yuv->rgb conversion
19:21:43roolkuNico_P: at the moment the leaf node of any navigation would be a (unique) list of cover image paths
19:21:49SlasheriNico_P: indeed, that adds a (huge) string tag for every track in the db
19:21:58amiconnNico_P: Uh, why?
19:22:18SlasheriNico_P: and what worse, by default that gets loaded in ram too unless some handling is done to prevent that (like with tag_filename)
19:22:24roolkuNico_P: I intended to pass this on to the plugin which would return an index (the selection) to that list
19:22:25Nico_Pamiconn: the power of two factors will probably be a bit rough
19:22:39amiconnAh, you mean further scaling...
19:22:43Nico_Pyes

19:23:41Nico_Proolku: I think it would be better to make the core DB handle most of it, so we can do other cool stuff with the album covers
19:24:03Slasheriroolku: at least it would be good to avoid that tag getting loaded to ram.. or it would consume all of the ram
19:24:04Nico_PSlasheri: does the DB structure allow a table of covers?

19:24:36amiconnRight now, "Insert shuffled" is borked. I don't know what revision caused it though
19:24:52amiconnNo, I mean even the most basic things like playing a playlist properly
19:24:57*preglow crosses fingers and runs the cross compiler script
19:24:58Nico_Poh, right
19:25:31amiconnThis isn't the playback engine's fault, as it happens both on hwcodec and swcodec
19:25:38SlasheriNico_P: not that kind of "tables" at the moment
19:26:18amiconnTry the following: With playback stopped, hover over a folder (preferably an album folder where the track filenames start with the track numbers), and select Playlist->Insert shuffled from the context menu
19:26:29roolkuSlasheri: is this currently done with the filename ? I should look at that
19:26:37SlasheriNico_P: hmm, not sure what you meaned.. in fact all track entries are pointers to other "tables"
19:26:41amiconnGo to the WPS, then view the current playlist and write it down.
19:26:44preglowamiconn: 3.0 borken too?
19:26:54Nico_PSlasheri: the "unique" tags, is that it?
19:27:07amiconnStop Playback, and resume -> It will (almost always) resume the correct track, but in a wrong playlist position
19:27:18SlasheriNico_P: yes, like with artists for example
19:27:28Slasheriit should work the similar way
19:27:44amiconnThe order of tracks in the list stays the same when viewed as a "ring", but it's rotated so that the first track of the folder is in position 1
19:27:45Nico_PSlasheri: so each artist name is only once in the DB, and track entries have a pointer to it?

19:36:02rasherpreglow: Which is why I'm taunting it. For all its supposed unixness, it sure breaks a lot when you try to treat it like one
19:36:21Slasheriroolku: the idea with tag_filename is that the actual pointer to the index in the filename "table" is replaced with a dircache pointer from the ram copy of the db
19:36:27*amiconn should probably implement his idea to always compile the test_* plugins, just not zip them up by default
19:36:48preglowrasher: this seems to be a gcc build system bug, tho
19:36:57Slasherithat way the path can be fetched directly from dircache without ever touching the actual filename table after db loader is finished
19:37:09preglowthe last time i tried, it was autotools that completely messed up
19:37:12preglowhow i hate autotools
19:37:41roolkuSlasheri: I think I got the idea - I'll have a look how it is done for the filename
19:37:54Slasheriroolku: great :)
19:38:59rasheramiconn: that should be quite simple.. somewhere around line 300 in buildzip.pl
19:39:45rasheramiconn: err, no, not there..
19:40:00amiconnrasher: It would probably be best to invent a new category for them, so they are added to rocks/apps, but only when buildzip.pl gets an extra parameter from 'make'
19:40:06linuxstbWhat about just including them in the builds? e.g. accessible via the debug menu?
19:40:20linuxstb(putting them in something like rocks/debug/)
19:40:59amiconnNot all of them are debug stuff, and we should keep the downloadable packages small, imo
19:41:56Nico_Proolku: I just tested the patch... what would be ideal is to have a plain list of album covers
19:42:15amiconnHaving them in the normal locations, but only when making "devzip" or sth wouldn't add anything to the rockbox code, and also not to the download packages

19:48:33bertrikand if the bootloader doesn't need it, would I have to take special precautions?

19:49:40linuxstbOr rather, if nothing in the .c file is used...
19:50:06bertrikthe e200 port uses the generic i2c-pp.c (or is it pp-i2c.c)
19:50:33linuxstbThen i2c-as3525.c ?
19:50:43linuxstb(in firmware/target/arm/as3525)
19:51:15bertrikthen the various parts that need to access the codec, use i2c calls. For as3525 I think we can abstract it as as3525_codec_read/write calls as the i2c bus it's on is basically an internal i2c bus

20:21:26n1slinuxstb: test_codec uses the regular codec buffer but a separate malloc buffer (just like we used to in the core) however to give a codec the rest of that buffer in test_codec would require to export some more functions to the plugin api, do you think it would be ok to just make that test_codec buffer 1MB and be done with it?
20:22:40linuxstbYes, I think so - assuming you mean to use CODEC_BUFFER_SIZE. test_codec is for benchmarking, so I don't think simulating memory usage is important.

21:07:18BoopopHi all, is there a way to get my rock'd iPod to play a new song every minute? (drinking game!)
21:08:15roolkuNico_P: I have synched the patch - what you have seen was most likely because you didn't have any .100x100 covers (and hence everything ended up as untagged) - it is now only searching for covers without size specification. This needs to be changed so it matches what picture flow can display
21:08:37roolkuNico_P: I will now look at what Slasheri suggested

23:46:55n1samiconn: I agree that new versions of gcc often do not bring anything but problems, I've done a bit of testing for coldfire but from what i found with limited performance tests, 4.3 is the best 4.x so far (coldfire)
23:47:23*linuxstb wonders if the builds are just slow, or broken...

23:49:13amiconnn1s: I'd just go 4.0.3 for colfire for uniformity (maybe go 4.0.4 instead for arm, cf and sh1 because it's the latest 4.0.x release).
23:49:39amiconnI also wonder whether the SH1 bug is fixed in later versions. I sincerely doubt it is...
23:49:56ThedjatclubrockCan I somehow export my iTunes playlists to rockbox?
23:51:25n1samiconn: fixes for less commonly used platforms seems to be few and far between unfortunately :/
23:51:28pixelmalinuxstb: still using LCD_HEIGHT as a base for this calculation will give different limits for the same sized screens - e.g. on the e200 the limit will be higher than on the H300/Ipod Color with the same sized screen. Now with viewports the argument that you could fit more lines (with the same font height) on the screen isn't so strong anymore...
23:52:19n1s(i reported that bug i mentioned in febuary and got a comment by one of the maintainers basically stating where the bug is and then nothing)
23:53:08amiconnn1s: Problem is that I don't understand gcc code well enough to provide a proper fix. My simple patch is working reliably though. And I really don't want to contact those guys again, given earlier experiences...

23:57:40n1sThedjatclubrock: no
23:58:23ThedjatclubrockAlso, does the RB db update after a USB connect. Does ut need to search everyting to uodate?
23:58:29linuxstbBagder: The build system seems stalled... Will it fix itself?
