#rockbox log for 2008-12-19

00:00:20amiconnIt is very possible that the sd driver works fine when unboosted, but causes error when boosted
00:00:49amiconnWAV needs virtually no cpu, hence no boosting. Flac needs a little more, but most likely still no boosting
00:00:50kugelyea could be
00:01:03kugelbut it's boosting upon rebuffering
00:01:07amiconnOgg is more demanding than flac, and mp3 in turn is more demanding than ogg (on arm)
00:01:32amiconnUsing dsp adds to that, and it matches the observations...
00:01:36ender`mp3 needs more than vorbis?
00:01:46kugelon non-multicore yes
00:01:47amiconnYes, on arm it does
00:02:16ameyerthen why did the rio karma get more battery life from mp3 than from ogg?
00:02:28*ameyer wanders back on-topic
00:02:29amiconnWhat architecture does the karma use?
00:02:30BigBambiIt depends on the decoder, the architecture, ...
00:02:59amiconnBesides, isn't the karma rather old?
00:03:11BigBambiThey may have had an effecient mp3 decoder, inneficient ogg decoger, ...
00:03:15kugelamiconn: flac is also fine when forcing boost
00:03:25ameyeramiconn: I think it has a PP5003. Some sort of PortalPlayer dual-core ARM thingy
00:03:31*BigBambi can't type or spell :(
00:03:55ameyerand it depends on your definition of old. 2003.
00:03:58amiconnI was thinking more about which codecs were available at that time.

00:04:50amiconn(1) When was Tremor released? and (2) Rockbox has optimised Tremor a lot...
00:05:59mud-rbis there some way i can get an idea (order of magnitude is probably close enough) of how much memory is available in the plugin_buffer for various targets? the sim seems to fake it and I only have one player
00:06:37kugel512KB on anything higher than 2MB total ram
00:06:51kugelI think 8KB on <= 2MB
00:06:56amiconn32KB
00:07:06mud-rbperfect, thanks
00:07:08kugeloh sorry, 32KB
00:07:31 Quit itcheg ("http://www.mibbit.com ajax IRC Client")
00:07:36amiconnThat is, 32KB on the old Archoses. Not sure how big it is on the low-mem ams Sansas
00:07:57mud-rbmaybe the sim isn't faking it too hard then, i just assumed there would be more variation
00:08:07kugelthat's not finally decided I guess. It'll likely depend on what's going to happen with the flash buffer patch
00:08:51kugelmud-rb: given that we try to have the plugins running similar on all targets I see no reason for variation
00:09:00amiconnThe sim tries be fairly correct, just that it gives you exactly that amount *in addition* the plugin binary (which is a shared object/dll in the sim)
00:09:37amiconnOn target, this buffer is shared between the binary and what you can request
00:10:08Zagorkugel: I'd the flash buffer patch has nothing to do with that.
00:10:12ZagorI'd say
00:10:37kugelZagor: why? I think it's a valuable option to free ram for plugins, isn't it?
00:11:27amiconnno
00:11:28Zagorno, because it breaks so many other things. we can simply reduce the buffer size on flash targets and gain the same effect without changing any code
00:11:41amiconnPlugins are always allowed to stop playback if they want
00:11:52kugeliirc the watermarks are a problem
00:12:26amiconnThe watermarks are a problem on anything swcodec, just that problem doesn't hit as hard on bigmem targets
00:13:32n1shmm, i wonder if that watermark bug is still possible ro trigger
00:13:41kugelI mean (I remember some talk) that due to the watermarks there needs to be at least 512KB or so audio buffer, which isn't really given on our 2MB ams sansas
00:14:03kugeland that the flash buffering doesn't have to mess with those
00:14:15n1samiconn: btw, is that "dreaded shuffled playlist resume bug" you mentuioned earlier in FS?
00:14:19Lloreankugel: But we can set the watermark much, much lower, though.
00:14:27LloreanIt's not like any of this is set in stone.
00:14:32amiconn(1) The anti-skip buffer setting is meant as an *additional* safeguard against skipping. It should be possible to set it to 0 without ill effects if the disk is in good shape and the player is sitting on top of the table, i.e. not shaking
00:14:39Zagorkugel: the proper solution is to fix the watermarks, not add code that avoids them
00:14:50kugelok
00:15:32amiconn(2) Hwcodec calculates watermarks dynamically depending on bitrate and measured (!) spinup time (if available, otherwise uses a safe default). It does so for ages. Swcodec still doesn't afaik
00:15:49amiconnn1s: Not sure
00:17:05n1sthe only one i can find that sounds remotely like it is FS #9531
00:18:30n1samiconn: i think swcodec does adjust the watermark based on bitrate but it isn't working 100%, I remember being able to cause it to underrun before managing to spin up using flac
00:18:54*Zagor found http://sourceforge.net/projects/gdbstubs
00:19:08n1sthis bug is FS #6479
00:20:22n1si really should retest that

01:37:42kugelUnhelpful: you might want to checkout FS #8335 how I "implemented" a working resizing in pf, you'll maybe have a better overview
01:37:55n1sIMHO, unless someone steps forward and wants to work on getting PLA working, we should drop it and go back to regular keymaps were it's used currently
01:38:33kugelpla is working
01:38:38 Quit robin0800 (Remote closed the connection)
01:38:39pixelmayep, "down" is also used as "menu" so you can't move down because you call the menu instead. And since it's using pluginlib actions it's not easy to find a fix - without either breaking other targets or breaking other plugins that use this system or invent exceptions (which the PLA system wanted to avoid)
01:39:01Unhelpfulkugel: i've got that part working just fine, though... what i'm doing now is to get rid of the preferred sizes stuff entirely, in favor of scaling to LCD_HEIGHT/2 on load, and letting the user use zoom if they don't like that
01:39:04n1skugel: for various degrees of "working" ? :)
01:39:26kugelbut the variety of targets make it difficult to have a "all-in-one" keymap of course
01:39:39Unhelpful...now i *know* i don't want to be in this
01:39:42pixelmakugel: not practically and not when combining contexts as so many (almost all) do

01:41:45kugelyou basically can only use it for demos as of now, and not even for all
01:41:52n1sI think using the core actions where they fit and defining your own keymaps where they don't would be sensible
01:42:37pixelmathe breaker IMO is combining contexts which will always cause "overlapping" for some buttons for one or the other targets
01:42:45n1s(not sure if plugins can use core actions currently though)
01:43:07kugeltext editor does
01:43:47 Quit n1s ()
01:44:05kugelmaybe pla should be reworked to export core actions which are available on all targets

01:53:11kugelUnhelpful: in the current pla each context contains very few actions
01:53:15MarcGuaypixelma: 19476 is pretty wordy for something rather insignificant. I'm tempted to suggest we swing back the other way and take it out completely but maybe that's not great, either. I think it was Chronon who put it in?

01:55:18kugellol
01:56:16kugelpixelma: wasn't the consensus to move wiki text into the manual (and delete the wiki pages after) instead of the manual linking to wiki pages? Sorry if I'm wrong
01:57:07pixelmakugel: feel free to write the album art paragraph as there is none currently... ;)

01:58:00pixelmanot sure who first put it in

01:58:27MarcGuayWordiness is part of the RB tradition, it won't be out-of-step with the rest of the project.

04:50:07lucentfdinel: some of the buttons seem to have direct GPIO
04:50:11saratogawe thought it might be used for the wheel, just because we couldn't find it on the GPIO, but that seems somewhat unlikely since theres no obvious way to get interrupts out of it and you'd probably need interrupts to read the wheel
04:50:23lucentup/down/left/right/select work with direct GPIO
04:51:20fdinelhmm
04:51:42fdinelthat strange I didn't manage to see those in the OF :/ probably lookking at the wrong place
04:54:26lucentfdinel: what command do you like to use to disassemble the OF?
04:54:39lucentare you cutting out the arm code first or working with the OF bin?

08:34:04lucentif I had to guess? Sansa Clip

08:34:12lucentthat's actually pretty badass for what it is

08:34:24scorchelucent: clip is not a rockbox device...
08:34:45MartynOkay, I need to buy one and have it as a reference platform. One of the old Archos 20's?
08:35:04scorcheMartyn: reference for what?
08:35:12ZagorMartyn: the least capable is the player, which actually has a charcell display (not bitmap)
08:35:36scorchelucent: as i have said before, please do not reference the a
08:35:40Martynscorche : Reference platform for UI development.
08:36:04Zagorfor bitmap targets, I'd say the archos ondio is a good choice. b/w lores screen and limited set of buttons.
08:36:06scorcheAMS devices until they are on the front page unless you are referring to development stuffs
08:37:12Zagoron the other hand, I've been spotted saying I think the archos targets are due for abandonment
08:37:15lucentscorche: got a better suggestion than the Clip? tell Martyn
08:37:30lucentI'm willing to learn
08:37:41MartynWell, as long as they are supported for the moment, it makes a good target for "keeping things simple"
08:38:08MartynAnd I can get an ondio for less than $20 from Wierd Stuff
08:38:12*JdGordon chants "kill off the charcell targets"
08:38:13lucentMartyn: also if you're looking to purchase, what's your budget? Maybe I could help find a deal on something
08:38:44Martynlucent : I'm in the San Francisco / Bay Area .. cheap gadget central
08:38:46scorchelucent: the point of this is that the clip is STILL not a supported target, so suggesting it blah blah..
08:39:12JdGordondoesnt the c200 have a button limitation also?
08:39:14MartynOkay. I like the Ondio .. looks GOOD and simple.
08:39:19ZagorJdGordon: there's actually only one charcell target. I'm more in the "kill of the hwcodec targets" camp
08:39:38Zagoroff even
08:39:43MartynI'm hoping to have the Flash mockups finished by next week, and get some feedback on the look and feel
08:39:47JdGordonkilling hwcodec would be nice, would let us get rid of the button bar also
08:39:58MartynIf the mockups are in the realm of 'acceptable', I'll code up a framework.
08:40:14ZagorMartyn: I'm looking forward to it. Prepare for long discussions. :-)
08:40:19Martyn*nod*
08:40:42***Saving seen data "./dancer.seen"
08:40:53MartynWow .. the ondio is also -very- limited in other ways. Firmware size...
08:41:03Zagoryeah
08:41:20ameyerI'm not a huge fan of abandoning anything, to be honest?
08:41:39MartynLearn from Python .. at some point it's worthwhile to deprecate
08:41:48MartynJava didn't, and they are paying for it in bloat.
08:41:53ameyerwhy not abandon greyscale targets so you can ditch all the grayscale cruft
08:42:08JdGordonlots more greyscale targets than hwcodec
08:42:36JdGordonalso its not about the display, its about the compeltly different audio mechanism (and the display for the charcell)
08:43:00lucentpardon my not knowing, what is "charcell" mean in rockbox context?
08:43:05ameyeryeah, and probably many more grayscale targets still in use

08:43:16Martynlucent : Non bitmap display
08:43:21lucentoh
08:43:32Martynlucent : Literally, a display with two lines of characters (or more) 20-40 characters wide (sometimes)
08:43:44ameyerI mean, if the archoses got ditched, I can't see a fork. If you ditch grayscale, I can see a fork happening.
08:43:47lucentthat's scary
08:43:49Martynso it can only display certain characters, which can sometimes (but not always) be programmed on the fly.
08:44:03ameyerdoes anyone still use the archoses?
08:44:12Zagorameyer: I do, in the car
08:44:15MartynEasy way to tell −− check the downloads :)
08:44:34MartynI'd be interested in seeing those statistics, actually ... #downloads of different platforms during an update
08:44:47MartynGives a good indication what platforms to concentrate on
08:44:57JdGordonnot really...
08:45:14JdGordonthe general feeling here is we work on what we want, not by how many downloads we get
08:45:29JdGordonespecially because the download stats are so rediculously inacurate
08:45:38lucentMartyn: so, Clip display is a tiny monochrome OLED display, maybe 128x64 pixels, but that's not charcell?
08:45:48ameyerare the archoses the only sh target?
08:45:50Zagorlucent: no, that's bitmap
08:45:54lucentah
08:45:58lucentthanks for clearing that up

08:48:23Martyne.g. I'll pick something to work on, get some consensus, and then actually still work the way I always have. Plan it out, architect it, look at the potential impact on other codepaths, then code.
08:48:33Zagorwell, most rockbox devs do programming for a living too
08:48:55Zagorameyer: we have never discontinued a target

08:58:33ameyerZagor: you could ditch some grayscale cruf by ditching some of the targets, although I can't see rockbox ditching over half of its targets, some of which (iPods, h1x0) are fairly popular.

09:00:08ameyerI think forking off the hwcodec stuff and going into bugfix-only mode might not be the worst idea

09:00:37JdGordongreyscale doesnt make things any more difficult than colour... a reason to kill off hwcodec is because the playback engine is entirly different, so its almost 2 codebases
09:00:44JdGordonsame with charcell display
09:00:59JdGordonthe only changes for greyscale is the low level lcd drivers
09:01:09amiconnImo we shouldn't ditch any target unless (1) we want to introduce a fundamental technical change which requires it (imo very unlikely, and even then branching would be better) or (2) the target is abandoned (no active dev has one anymore, and it's unlikely that one will show up again)
09:02:04*JdGordon would have thought that any "killing off" would really be forking anyway
09:02:04ameyerJdGordon: aren't there libraries required for things like color->gray conversion?
09:02:20ameyerbut that'd be minor, I'd think.
09:02:36JdGordonprobably, but anything high up doesnt need to know about it
09:02:43Zagoramiconn: when I say "abandon" I really mean "branch"

09:04:31MartynJdGordon : And frankly it's "Draw a circle"
09:04:49n1sI think an argument for branching is that hardly any of the new features added are useful on the archos targets so we could keep a branch around and backport fixes to it untill we reach amiconn's (2)
09:04:58MartynJdGordon: Green, blue, blinking, all those things are attributes of circle. As long as the platform supports some kind of bitmap display ...
09:05:22*pixelma wonders when the last time was JdGordon had to take care of the hwcodec playback engine
09:05:27Martyn(god help me doing that on a char display ... imagine reprogramming the programmable chars to "draw" a circle. LOL)
09:05:36JdGordonyeah yeah... the blue was to show that there is no different
09:06:07ZagorMartyn: we do that already...
09:06:11amiconnn1s: I disagree
09:06:18pixelman1s: but branching makes it so that someone has to do the backport
09:06:28Unhelpfulwell, if the number of cells is <= the number of programmable characters, you can "do" graphics... though there will probably be some lines through it.
09:06:59ameyerfrom what I can tell, the color->grayscale conversion probably could use some tweaking, though.
09:07:29ameyerit's a bit on the dark side and seems to have some sort of weird flickering-style issue
09:07:45amiconnBranching means additional effort to keep things up to date. Keeping the archoses means we have a greater variety of targets regarding memory, colour depth, display size etc which help keeping code universal
09:08:52amiconnBesides, there are new lowmem targets in the works, so dropping the archoses because of lowmem won't be an advantage, rather the opposite
09:09:12Martyn*cough* If I may interject...
09:09:31scorcheMartyn: this is IRC...you wont be talking over anyone ;)

09:11:19n1ss/crop/drop/
09:12:21Martynamiconn : Sure, but then it's usually easier to have #ifdef statements sitting in the code to branch the compilation one way for lowmem, and another for other targets.

09:14:42pixelmaZagor: really? ;)
09:14:42MartynUnhelpful : Often 'greyscale' on an otherwise monochrome display is a question of the display controller changing the duty cycle on a pixel
09:15:03MartynUnhelpful : The human eye then "sees" it as a greylevel, but it's actually 'flickering'
09:15:04Zagoramiconn: exactly, which means the archoses are in no way contributing "uniqueness"
09:15:18amiconnZagor: Pixel aspect...
09:15:32UnhelpfulMartyn: we have a library for doing that in plugins, for ~7-8bit "greyscale", but i don't know if any of the 2-bit greyscale targets are doing it in hardware
09:15:34Zagoramiconn: haha
09:15:43Unhelpfuland if they are, it's not resolvable on our end, probably.
09:16:01Unhelpfulalso, i'm working on color->grey quality ;P
09:16:04amiconnAnd they're contributing a different cpu architecture
09:16:18MartynUnhelpful : Very likely not. The Sharp 128x64 monochrome display only has 1 black and 4 'grey' levels
09:16:43MartynUnhelpful : Which is good for text display (you can kind of antialias text on it) .. but horrid for just about anything else
09:19:24ameyerUnhelpful: it's not really "flicker" It's hard to accurately explain
09:19:40pixelmaAFAIU the greyscale library is fully software even on greyscale targets which provide 4 levels of "grey" (including white and black) but those "native" greys are used for most things, except jpg viewer, mpegplayer (plugins that use the greylib)
09:20:03Unhelpfulwe're using bayer dithering to deal with reducing 256 levels -> 4 levels, in the "native" 2bit case
09:20:09ameyerit's kinda like what happens when you point a video camera at a CRT display, although there's more to it than that.
09:20:23amiconnZagor: Oh, and I forgot another thing they contribute: a slow CPU, so they help in checking the efficiency of e.g. gui stuff
09:20:33Zagoranyone with a v1 sansa who feels like trying some builds? /me left my players at home
09:20:44pixelmaameyer: I guess you saw it on a Mini?
09:20:49MartynZagor: Sure. I've got one.
09:20:59MartynAlthough it's the 250R
09:21:06Zagoramiconn: we can call it the "amiconn" branch ;-)
09:21:08MartynBut I've already got the bootloader working...
09:21:10ameyerpixelma: indeed
09:21:47ameyerpixelma: what's so special about the mini in this case?
09:22:27MartynZagor : Which build?
09:22:30ameyer(FWIW, the only grayscale targets I have are the mini and the clip. I won't be watching anything on the clip any time soon.)
09:22:32amiconnMartyn: On the mini it's indeed a bit flickery, for 2 reasons: The lcd is rather fast, and its "natural" gamma curve is bent the wrong way 'round, so that the greylib has to do quite a bit of correction
09:22:50pixelmawell, it looks differently depending on the actual display, Mini is the worst I've seen
09:23:01pixelma^ ameyer
09:23:10ZagorMartyn: a lowmem build, to see if that causes similar bugs as on clip. hang on a minute
09:23:56Unhelpfulwait, we're having this "flickery" look only in greylib stuff?
09:24:05amiconnOn iriver H1x0 it works best across all mono/grey targets I own: slow panel, and less gamma correction
09:24:20 Quit martian67 (Remote closed the connection)
09:24:53ameyerthe darkness issue might have to do with having to jack the mini's contrast way up to have a usable screen

09:29:13MartynWhat's the bug you're looking for?
09:29:14ameyerUnhelpful and/or pixelma: what exactly causes the flicker? Is the CPU too slow or something?
09:29:40ZagorMartyn: failure/crashing while playing mp3
09:30:04amiconnameyer: cube uses it on mono targets only, and native greys on 2bpp targets. fire also uses the greylib, as well as doom
09:30:06ameyerI still think buffering is screwy on the clip

09:30:29ameyerI'm not 100% sure about the cube.
09:30:32Unhelpfulameyer: the flickering is delibrate, it's how we get more than 4 levels on greyscale targets at all, by changing the display contents back and forth between different values
09:30:40Martynallright, backing up my .rockbox
09:30:45scorcheMartyn: not at all...they are essentially the same
09:30:52pixelmathat's how the greylib works - it's cheating the eye by quickly turning the pixel black and white. If you have a fast display you'll see that
09:31:03amiconnameyer: As I said, native greys on 2bpp, greylib on mono targets. Cube needs black, white and 2 greys
09:31:07ameyernah, cube's a bit blurry
09:31:43ameyerUnhelpful: that doesn't really explain the "video camera pointed at a CRT" issue
09:32:07amiconnpixelma: It's not only how the greylib works, but also how the 2bpp lcds produce their native greylevels (internally)

09:34:50n1sMartyn: could you check the buffer size under System -> Rockbox info ?
09:35:01Martyncrashed
09:35:01Unhelpfulthat's probably due to greylib's display switches happening while the LCD refreshes, i would think?
09:35:28ZagorMartyn: how?
09:35:39MartynBuffer : 0Kb
09:35:41ameyerseems quite a bit wider. It's almost like it's got white pixels that shouldn't be there.
09:35:46Zagor!
09:35:57ameyerI'd guess... 10 rows?
09:35:58pixelmaUnhelpful: I can't remember the technical details but yes it has to do with the LCD refresh rate and can't be compensated for
09:36:13MartynYep, Buffer = 0KB

09:39:22MartynI had to do the "two fingered reboot of death" (with the hold switch slide) to get it back

09:40:09MartynOh, question...
09:40:12Unhelpfulpixelma: seems sensible. also, cleaning out the search-by-size stuff probably is, as well
09:40:32MartynOn the current 3.0 build, why does the Sansa have to boot BACK into the original firmware to do USB sync?
09:40:59Unhelpfulthere was some debate as to whether we might want to let WPS load a "customized" AA via that mechanism, but i think that if we do that, it should be via a string in the tag, and not sizes.
09:41:02pixelmaUnhelpful: you mean when searching for the bmp?
09:41:08MartynI noticed that sometimes, If I unexpectedly plug/unplug the USB cable I can see a rockbox USB image .. but then the whole thing is frozen
09:41:31Unhelpfulpixelma: yes, it still looks for cover.WxH.bmp
09:41:38ZagorMartyn: usb is software-based and our usb stack isn't stable yet
09:41:59MartynAhh...
09:42:13MartynSo you simply call into the original firmware instead
09:42:17pixelmaMartyn: that's a known bug that in some builds the automatic reboot into the originl firmware doesn't work properly
09:43:25MartynI noticed .. it's interesing that when the usb cable is unplugged, it reboots :)

18:06:23LambdaCalculus37Maybe something similar can be done for PF.
18:07:02kugelprobably
18:07:12*LambdaCalculus37 will look at the code later
18:07:52pixelmampegplayer and some other use a different way of drawing (and applying the rotation), don't ask me for details
18:08:53LambdaCalculus37pixelma: I know Mpegplayer, Doom, and Rockboy are rotated, but I'll look at PF and perhaps even Zxbox.
18:09:33kugelLambdaCalculus37: taking from mpegplayer should basically be a copy and pastejob I think

18:10:06kugelrotating would surely be nice, indeed
18:10:35LambdaCalculus37Especially because larger album art will look better in landscape mode.

22:09:25bluebrotherok ... should Rockbox Utility auto install install the latest release?
22:09:58bluebrotheror should it stay with the current most recent build?
22:10:16Zagorbluebrother: I think release
22:10:29Zagorcurrent build should be a concious choice
22:10:41bluebrotherI'm in favour of that too, but I was wondering if anyone has objections
22:11:26bluebrotherthe code changes are basically ready, and I want to push the new rbutil release tomorrow −− I can't guarantee that I can create binaries the days after tomorrow

22:51:13bluebrotherbut I already asked myself why the last selection from the install tab isn't saved.
22:52:16ZagorLlorean: without. and seeing "#define BUFFERING_DEFAULT_WATERMARK (1024*512)" in buffering.c makes it rather clear
22:52:17fmlbluebrother: I may be using an older version of the RBUtil. Every time I update Rockbox I have to set the radio button to "latest build" (or what's the name). The choice could be saved to a file.
22:52:53bluebrotherfml: yes, that started annoying me too.
22:53:22fmlI.e. the RBUtil would benefit from a settings window
22:53:42bluebrotherbut currently the recommended version is selected. And this is the latest release ...
22:53:52bluebrotherhuh? We do have a settings dialog.
22:54:41fmlbluebrother: yes (to both). I mean, the settings dialog could get another option: "What to install by default / as the initial choice"
22:55:14LloreanZagor: I tried changing that, and the high watermark and it kept refilling at 512k
22:55:28bluebrotherhmm. Not sure if I like that.
22:55:53bluebrotherThe problem with the quick start is that it also installs a bootloader. For the install dialog itself, this could simply remember the last choice.
22:56:04ZagorLlorean: yeah. I see playback.c sets the watermark, which overrides that define
22:56:44Zagorand that comes from the codec
22:57:30fmlbluebrother: no matter how, I just don't like the fact that I have to make the same choice every time (who in the world does install the official release? ;-)
22:58:02bluebrotherhehe. Consider me at your side ;-)
