00:08:47bertrikI've often wondered whether boost could be made automatic instead of explicitly triggered, something like "boost when # of ready threads > X for at least Y ticks"

00:13:57bertrikcooperative tasks could still yield to indicate that they're not quite done yet and that would count as a ready thread I think
00:14:35Zagoryes, but then you replace explicit boosting with "speculative" yielding
00:16:14LloreanIt's also possibly lowering the average time spent boosted may not actually improve battery life.
00:16:33LloreanFor example, maybe buffering can be done unboosted sometimes, but we probably want to get it done as fast as humanly possible so we can spin down.
00:17:36gartralwhat about targets that have flash based disks, how is the "spindown" function handled?

00:31:24saratogaZagor: you probably should not test this on MP3 due to multithreading
00:31:49saratogaI think boosting for decode frame will just cause mad_synth_frame to bottleneck on the other core, which is probably why the CPU load went up
00:32:13saratogathings are actually fairly well tuned right now for libmad, so its not representative
00:33:16saratogaWMA might be a better choice since its only a little slower but single threaded, you could try boosting around wma_decode_superframe_frame in wma.c

01:49:34TiZHey, guys. I just used RBUtil to install the rockbox bootloader on Ubuntu Linux. I thought it might be a good idea to stop by and let you guys know that it needs to be done as root. You guys probably know that, but it doesn't seem to be on either the RockboxUtility or GraphicalInstall wiki pages. :)

01:50:53TiZIt tripped me up at first, 'cos it wouldn't install the bootloader when I ran it as a normal user. When I did gksudo /path/to/rbutilqt, it worked fine. KDE users would use kdesudo instead, and those who don't have sudo would just login as root, I guess. I'm no linux guru, I'm just trying to share what I know. :)

02:20:36breakthe utility is detecting the sansa, in the right place
02:20:39breakit just doesn't work.
02:21:51gartralbreak: have you tested with a live cd os? mabey its the hardware...
02:23:16breakthen why did it work with my E280?
02:23:40LloreanAre you sure the e260 is a vanilla V1 and not an R?
02:24:05breakyes
02:24:15gartralhardware issue with the dap itself then? Sansa are known too go bad for no readily appearent reason, the PP hardware isnt exactly reliable...
02:24:34krazykitbreak, have you tried doing a manual install?
02:24:39Lloreanbreak: So it was named MSC and MTP, not Rhapsody and PlaysForSure in the options?
02:25:10breakyes
02:25:16pixelmaand is it in MSC or MTP mode? (Didn't see the question asked yet)
02:26:22breaki think MSC
02:26:27breakwhere it shows up as a drive, not a device
02:26:56Lloreanbreak: Did you actually check in the menus?
02:27:05breakyes
02:27:05breakits been a few hours
02:27:15breaki had to change it
02:28:15breakyes, MSC
02:28:17LloreanAnd which version of the utility are you using?
02:28:39breakfirmware 01.02.18a, rbutilqt-v1.0.9
02:29:00breaki bet i have to go back to an older firmware or something, don't i.
02:29:07breaksomething i haven't tried
02:29:25LloreanIf you're getting permission denied issues it's a host-side thing.
02:29:35LloreanThe device doesn't control your permissions.
02:29:40gartrali have had numerous problems with m1.0.9
02:30:50Lloreangartral: The problem with 1.0.9 relates to detecting Sansas though. His seems to be succeeding at that, at least.
02:31:24 Quit akur (Read error: 110 (Connection timed out))
02:31:25LloreanBut the obvious steps would be to try 1.0.7, then sansapatcher, then file a clear bug report documenting the issue.
02:31:38breakwhere can i grab that...

02:36:33Lloreanbreak: The policy isn't "first one's free." We tell you when it happens so you know in the future.
02:36:39LloreanYou probably want to read the channel guidelines in the topic.
02:36:45breaki mentioned ONE THING
02:36:54breakand you get all over my ass about the rules
02:37:00LloreanNo, you were just told about them.

03:01:40gartralanyway, USB full speed works fairly well on my e250 with the latest patchs from FS #8663 i get the inserted byte error once in a blue-moon with it, and it doesnt ever break anything that isnt easily replaced, especially with few files at a time
03:06:48Unhelpfulamiconn: i'm not sure that's legal - it gives me "syntax error before unsigned" (where the temp is declared). i'll just make it a static inline function
03:07:49Lloreangartral: That patch hasn't been updated since August.
03:08:05gartralbut it works...
03:08:23LloreanYou still get errors... how is that "works"?
03:09:34gartraland all that hoo-haa about the albums that didnt play, were corrupted MP3s from WiMP10 crashing, im sorry for trying to blame the firmware
03:10:07gartralyea, but its like 12 bytes per gig i transfer..
03:10:24LloreanAnd if it were working it'd be 0 bytes per gig.
03:10:40gartralok, fine, _mostly_ working
03:11:25LloreanAll it does is partially cover up a problem. It may turn out to be entirely the wrong solution, so there's no sense applying it until there's a proper fix since USB is disabled anyway, and will be disabled until it doesn't corrupt data.

10:28:55JdGordonkugel: well... if we get to the point where we can have a WPS sort of thing going in the rest f the screen, it will update automatically in the new screen
10:29:16JdGordonfor now.. I think we should NOT clear the whole screen in preperation for that
10:29:33JdGordongartral: the pcm line is a seperate buffer
10:29:45JdGordonits not really related to the 2nd two lines
10:33:00gartralok, thanks JdGordon, my next question is, how hard would you think it would be too get either the radio to display info in the "now playing" WPS, or add a WPS too the radio?
10:34:59JdGordondepends... do you know C and actually want to stick around to implement this?

10:35:40gartralwell, ive been lightly tweaking the USB stack, with some succsess
10:36:14*gevaerts understands from the backlog that gartral hasn't tweaked the USB stack in any way

10:37:02gartralwell, ive tryed with an old patch, and it gave me an idea or two, and now i kind of have it working
10:37:16JdGordonit shouldnt be all that hard to hack the wps display to show radio info.. i did it 1 or 2 years ago... doing it nicely is a different story
10:37:20gevaertsthe USB stack does not corrupt data
10:37:37 Quit Seed ("cu, Andre")
10:40:02gartralmay i upload an updated fmr that has the right name for a stationj, as it switched last month
10:41:31gevaertsBigBambi_: charge only doesn't work well on the beast, because windows doesn't enumerate the device correctly (because of the missing driver), and the code plays nice and only uses 500mA when told that it's allowed to (which doesn't happen if enumeration isn't completed)
10:41:52gevaertsSo basically you're stuck because everything works as designed and according to spec
10:42:07BigBambi_so it is a Windows issue?
10:42:37gevaertsissue yes (I think it doesn't happen on linux, but I'm not sure). Bug, no.
10:42:50pixelmareading the logs too - on my PC I have no problems transferring a bigger amount of data at once (filled an 8GB microSD in chunks of 1 or two albums at once, so 60MB and more usually) with Rocbox USB on my c200. I do have a problem with the front USB ports, they work but resetting quite often so it gets too slow to be usable.
10:42:58BigBambi_It doesn't happen on linux (i.e. it charges properly)
10:43:40BigBambi_gevaerts: Can I (me being not too skilled) easily edit something to do it incorrectly and let me charge it?
10:43:52BigBambi_As I don't want to take the carger to and from work everyday
10:44:28BigBambi_*charger
10:45:15Zagorgevaerts: I assume it only plays nice if it gets a response but is not enumarated?
10:45:38gevaertsBigBambi_: I think changing usb_allowed_current() in usb_core.c to always return 500 will work
10:46:13BigBambi_gevaerts: Thanks, I'll try that tonight (can't build here)
10:47:21kugelJdGordon: I think I found a nice solution. btw: the statusbar is poorly viewport'fied :(
10:47:43JdGordoni know :/
10:47:44BigBambi_gevaerts: Is there anything we can do in the long run - I know it is a windows problem, but I'm sure users won't see it that way
10:47:48JdGordonwhats your solution?
10:48:10gevaertsZagor: the new code distinguishes pure chargers from hosts by looking at bus resets.

10:48:26Zagorgevaerts: aha
10:48:55gevaertsBigBambi_: yes. Implementing HID. I disagree about it being a windows problem though. Windows behaves entirely according to spec here
10:49:24BigBambi_ah, OK
10:49:56kugelJdGordon: issuing a redraw if viewportmanager_set_custom_vp is called with true, but only if it wasn't active before
10:50:06BigBambi_I thought you meant it should say OK to 500 mA even though not enumerated (spot the person who knows nothing about USB)
10:50:11B4gderdarn! we missed our 8th year version history anniversary just few days ago
10:50:13kugelthis way, the redraw only happens if a fullscreen screen is left to a non-fullscreen one

11:13:59kugelJdGordon: no it doesnt
11:14:43kugeland redrawing the statusbar via viewportmanager_draw_statusbar is part of the redraw (without, yes, the statusbar disappears shortly)

11:34:05JdGordonkugel: gwps-common.c:370
11:34:51JdGordonthat set_custom(true) call is redundant
11:35:02kugelJdGordon: that's on entering
11:35:06kugelnot on leaving
11:35:19kugelleaving the wps is problematic
11:35:25JdGordonit must always be reenabled on exiting... it is always assumed to be on on entering
11:35:43kugelremove the call, and see what happens
11:35:51JdGordoni know what happens...
11:36:00JdGordonlook how its handled in the current wps code
11:36:04JdGordonthats how it shold be done
11:36:24JdGordonremember.. we want to make it a PITA for things to NOT use the custom vp
11:37:41JdGordonviewportmanager_set_statusbar should be replaced with _set_custom_vp (but with a better name)
11:37:42kugelJdGordon: the wps will not set custom_vp, no matter of "making it a PITA"
11:37:49kugelunset even
11:38:02kugelin needs to be set again on exiting anyway
11:38:43JdGordonlook at the case ACTION_WPS_CONTEXT: in gwps.c (line 260)
11:38:55JdGordonspecifically the 2 calls to viewportmanager_set_statusbar
11:39:22kugelI see them
11:39:42kugelthey should be removed, since onplay is doing do_menu, and do_menu should handle statusbars

11:41:26JdGordonit must not set it...
11:41:40kugeland again, nothing will be redrawed if custom vp was already set
11:43:42*JdGordon figuring out how to best articulate his thoughts...
11:45:05kugelyou want screens which don't use the custom vp to mess with it, instead of having each screen specifying what he's going to use, right?
11:45:17JdGordonyes
11:45:23JdGordonnot mess with it.. just disable it
11:45:32kugelI've did that, and it didn't work well
11:45:37kugelespecially on theme changes
11:45:51JdGordonthat is exactly how the current status bar handling works
11:46:09kugelthe wps can't do the redraw. the redraw can happen after the list data is in the framebuffer, not before
11:46:16JdGordonsee the problem is, there are a few things which need more work before this works properly
11:46:26JdGordonone of which is sending an event on theme change
11:46:36JdGordona simple fix but noone has done the work
11:47:39kugelwhat you planning just just makes it more complex imo
11:49:01kugeland statusbar handling is different, its content doesn't change between screens

11:52:04JdGordonok, bassically what you have to do is add a event and call that every time the statusbar/customvp is toggled which redraws the background image
11:52:34JdGordonwhen all this is finished that will be removed and the WPS will be redrawn over the dead space automatically
11:55:27kugelwhat I did now is the easiest and most uncomplex way
11:55:34kugeland it's not unproper
11:55:41JdGordoni disagree
11:56:09kugelthe list code setting custom vp avoids a dozen of nasty problems at once
11:56:27kugeland doesn't introdce any
11:56:47JdGordonit creates 15 more
11:57:42kugelwhich? with what I have, only screens that do not want to use the custom vp need to unset it, every other screen doesn't
11:58:29JdGordonthat is not what you have
11:58:32JdGordonthat is what I want
11:58:50kugelthis is what I have.
11:58:58JdGordonthe very first hunk in the patch you pastebined is doing the exact oposite
11:59:10kugelif you go from a list to any screen, it'll use the custom vp
12:00
12:00:15kugelit's not finished, that one will get removed
12:02:23JdGordonanyway the list is absolutly the wrong place to be fiddling, it is redundant there... 1) if a parent is passed to the list it wont get changed and 2) it gets the custom/full viewport if no parent is passed which means if something disabled it before and didnt reenable it that needs fixing.. no the list
12:08:48kugelJdGordon: we basically want the same, just our (current) ideas of the exact implementation differs
12:09:05kugelwhat I showed you is by no means finished so don't take that too serious
12:11:43JdGordonthe viewportmanager_* functions are all that is needed for this custom list stuff... it just needs renaming and to add that background redraw..
12:11:56JdGordonand the code to load the string -> vp
12:12:02kugelthe problems is that the wps can't do the comlete redraw
12:12:22JdGordonwhat complete redraw?
12:12:40kugelclear display and update display
12:12:45 Quit gevaerts (Read error: 145 (Connection timed out))
12:13:22JdGordoncourse it can... right now the only thing outside of the custom vp is a background image which gets redone when the custom list is reneabled
12:14:46kugelwell, redrawing the backdrop only apparently doesn't work
12:14:47JdGordonkugel: I cant tempt you away from this with multifont can i? :p
12:14:56JdGordonthen you're doing it wrong

12:16:09kugelthe first that is redrawing the backdrop, the latter is full redraw
12:16:43kugeli.e. if you leave the wps, the backdrop is redrawn, but there's dead parts on the screens anyway
12:17:00JdGordonof course... what are you expecting there?

12:25:31JdGordonok... so going back to the confusion... "dead space" I'm talking about is the part of the display which the previous screen used but the new one doesnt. I was under the impression that only the background image would be shown here (or its not dead space)...
12:25:53kugelyea, that's how it should be
12:26:22kugelbut how do you exactly mean "redrawing the background to get that dead parts away"?
12:26:33JdGordonthen I say again... rename the viewportmanager functions, redraw the background when its reneabled and its all done
12:29:06JdGordonand if that is the only change then there is almost no extra work needed because most things were fixed when that first came in
12:30:25kugelwhat do you mean with redrawing the background? Do you mean just setting the backdrop, or clear&update the display or what?
12:30:46JdGordonyes
12:30:55kugelyes to?
12:31:13JdGordonwhatever it takes to have the backdrop image redrawn
12:31:33kugelbut that's what I already do
12:31:50JdGordonthen you're doing it wrong! :)
12:32:40kugelJdGordon: see line 183+ in the paste
12:32:49kugelthat's what it takes to remove the dead parts
12:33:13kugeland that's done on toggeling the custom_vp (only if needed ofc)

12:34:02JdGordonwell.. you're not making sure its using the NULL viewport which could be problematic
12:34:22JdGordonand if thats coming out of the wps it needs to unload the wps backdrop and load the main one
12:34:53kugelJdGordon: clear_display() update() is using the null viewport

13:55:02JdGordonright.. that was to show that most of the hard work needed has been done already
13:55:19JdGordonthe wps needs to be reworked so it doesnt try enableing the statusbar so often
13:55:51kugelI'm not exactly sure though if you got what I meant with wps doing the redraw/fullscreen update
13:56:12kugeldisplay->update sends the framebuffer to the lcd
13:56:33kugelif you do that in the wps (before list drawing), then the wps framebuffer data is sent to the lcd
13:57:49kugelthe wps can only do clear_display, but (I didn't test yet, but I fear it) I think the clear would be more noticeable
13:58:53kugelso, I did the list code do the redraw, so that it's instant and not noticeable

15:13:27Zagorkugel: so those albums I listed won't be sorted numerically? (if the filenames are formatted that way)
15:14:28kugelthose would
15:14:50kugelI think, I haven tested if it sorts properly if such a large number of leading non-numbers is there
15:15:28kugel"and for files which have the same non-number characters before numbers" i.e. a2 comes before a10
15:15:30Zagorthe crux is that these albums/files use both numbers and non-numbers in the leading string
15:16:31Zagorif the patch identifies identical non-number "prefixes", surely it could do it with numeric prefixes too?
15:16:55kugelnot sure what you mean with numerical prefixes
15:17:09kugel2a is sorted before 10a, so the sort would kick in
15:17:23ZagorI mean the leading part of each filename that is identical for every track
15:18:43kugelah, yea, it would sort after the first non-identical char
15:19:09Zagorexactly. so "room202 - 10" is sorted after "room202 - 2"
15:19:31kugelso "Front 242 - 05:22:09:12 Off - 2 xxx.mp3" comes before "Front 242 - 05:22:09:12 Off - 11 xxx.mp3"

15:46:39Zagoris that why it's mentioned a whopping 8600 times on the net?

15:51:05Lloreanrasher: But how that string is formatted is unpredictable.
15:51:23LloreanIf it were predictable, we'd never have people complaining about it when our database's intelligent sorting gets things wrongs by mis-parsing a string.
15:51:34***Saving seen data "./dancer.seen"
15:52:08kugelwell, that's due to more or less dumb filename-to-tag guessing
15:52:53LloreanYou think it's possible to do it perfectly, every time?
15:53:04kugelno
15:53:11LloreanThen it will always sometimes be dumb.

15:53:29LloreanThe advantage of ascii is that it's dumb in a consistent way, whereas when you add intelligence sometimes you *can't* work around the dumbness.
15:54:10kugelthe natural/whatever is pretty predictable imo
15:54:29kugeljust by judging after human logic
15:54:50pixelmabut you can't work around easily in cases where it's not - in contrast to ascii sorting
15:54:57LloreanMy point, yes.
15:55:05kugelwhere it's not?
15:55:09Zagorwikipedia calls it numerical. /bin/sort calls it numeric. perldoc calls it numerical. php calls it numeric.
15:55:17LloreanFor example, "007" (as in, James Bond" is treated as just the number 7
15:55:34LloreanPutting it between 6 and 8 without the leading zeros looks very odd.
15:56:07LloreanSometimes numbers *aren't* just numbers.

15:59:17gevaerts_awayAre those consistent?

16:00:13Zagorgevaerts_away: true, I was thinking of track names only.
16:00:14*kugel thought we discussed on the name
16:00:18Lloreankugel: My point was merely that "natural" sorting is hard to work around if it sorts wrong, whereas ascii isn't.
16:00:23LloreanNatural sorting attempt to guess "meaning"
16:00:25kugelit seems we're back on "do we even want that" :/

16:00:47kugelLlorean: ascii is only predictable for engineers
16:01:02Lloreankugel: Ascii is predictable for _anyone_ as long as they know it exists and how it works.
16:01:09LloreanPlease, don't assign stereotypes.
16:01:15LloreanI know artists who are happy with ascii sorting.
16:01:17kugeland only engineers do know how it works

16:02:23*jhMikeS has thought perhaps language files should include _how_ to do things (voicing and sorting) as well as basic strings.
16:03:20kugelI think the majority of people can't predict ascii sort, because they don't know what it is
16:03:37kugelof course, until they read in wikipedia about it or something
16:03:44Zagorkugel: it doesn't really matter how many can do either. both options are wanted, and that's that.
16:04:19LloreanMy original point was only in justification of the phrase "Exact" in terms of strings and consistent predictability.

16:05:28kugelyea, exact will work
16:05:49kugelbut that doesn't tell us how to name the "natural" sorting :(
16:06:23Zagoryou can bet we will get support questions for "exact" anyway... "how much more exact than '9' and '11' can you get?"
16:06:25LloreanI think "Intelligent" is a better word than "Smart". "Smart" implies other ones are not-smart. "Intelligent" implies the other one doesn't have an 'intelligence' behind it. A subtle difference, but kinda accurate.
16:06:51*gevaerts_away still likes "number-aware sorting"
16:07:22LloreanI like "intelligent" because I guarantee over time someone's going to want to add some more "intelligence" to it, and sometimes it's going to be a good idea to do so.
16:07:50kugelI like intelligent too
16:07:56ZagorI don't
16:08:12Zagorit doesn't say anything about how it is intelligent
16:08:14LloreanThe old sort could also just be "simple" or "string"
16:08:29LloreanZagor: Do users need to know how it's intelligent, or just that it is going to do things differently?
16:08:35LloreanEspecially if we default to it being on?

16:09:52LloreanSomething like "numerical" just means "using numbers." It still doesn't tell people who it uses them, or why the previous one isn't numerical.
16:10:08ZagorI disagree. I consider options that cannot be understood without reading the manual to be a failure.

16:10:55ZagorLlorean: I agree, but it says *more* than "smart", "intelligent" or anything else. it hints that the special thing has to do with numbers.

16:11:58LloreanI don't think we should try to make everything intuitive.
16:12:13LloreanI think that if the behaviour is complex, we should encourage people to seek a description of it.
16:12:36Zagorthen let's call then 'a' and 'b'.
16:12:42LloreanIf we have a sort that strips identical prefixes, drops leading zeroes, then tries to interpret numbers, a description might be nice.
16:13:52LloreanCalling it numerical is going to confuse people who think "01, 02, 03... 10, 11, 12" is already numerical.
16:14:23Zagorcalling it "intelligent" is not going to help them any more

16:15:10LloreanIt adds the implication that the other system _isn't_ intelligent.
16:15:34Zagor"numeric" indicates "this option changes sorting in some way regarding numbers". no other name (except gevaerts') gives even that little hint.
16:15:50LloreanIt indicates "this sorts based on numbers"

16:16:34dionoeait's implicit
16:16:45LloreanWe could also call it "alphabetic" then..
16:16:45Zagordionoea: no :-)
16:16:47LloreanEqually valid.
16:17:05dionoeaZagor: hehe :)
16:17:05ZagorLlorean: no, because nothing in regards to the alphabet changes with that algorithm
16:17:25LloreanZagor: Changes relative to what?
16:17:31LloreanI thought it was going to be the new default.
16:17:36Zagorthe other option
16:17:47LloreanYou can't name it relative to the non-default option...
16:17:59Zagorof course we can
16:18:55LloreanIf anything, you name the non-default relative to the default. Because nothing's "changed" if you leave it on the default.
16:19:40Zagorthe options should have names that indicate what the difference is between choosing one over the other.
16:19:55Zagorwhich one is default has no immediate effect on its' name
16:20:14LloreanIt does if you're not giving the other one a name that describes what changes too.
16:20:23Zagorthat I can agree with
16:20:42Zagorthe other should also be named carefully
16:21:12LloreanI just don't feel "numeric" is a particularly descriptive name. Telling "it has something to do with numbers" is also true of the other one.
16:21:35LloreanThe simple sorting changes how numbers are sorted relative to the complex sorting in either direction.
16:21:53LloreanSo I think we need a "how it's changed" word rather than a "what it changes" word.
16:22:25LloreanWhich my word doesn't deal with either, yes.
16:22:33Zagor:)
16:22:52LloreanBut as amiconn's pointed out in the other channel, the "numeric" sort will still have asciiisms in it.
16:23:08LloreanSince the non-numeric characters will still be sorted with accented letters out of place.
16:23:28Zagorabsolutely
16:23:44LloreanSo there's a target for that further added intelligence. :-P
16:24:10Zagoruh, no thanks :-)
16:24:51gevaerts_awayYou *can't* sort accented characters properly in a music context IMHO
16:24:52LloreanMaybe we could just name it something dumb, but clear, like "009 == 9"
16:25:29Zagorgevaerts_away: just add a locale tag in each file ;-)
16:25:46dionoea\<0*\([0-9]\)+\>==\1 ?
16:25:48LloreanOr even call the category "numeric sorting" rather than sorting, and name them "1, 10, 2" and "1, 2, 10"

16:39:05ZagorI think we've strayed away from the topic a bit here :)
16:40:10Zagorkugel: I say go with Llorean's last idea. if that causes an uproar we can always have a new discussion...
16:40:17Llorean"03, 10, 2" and "2, 03, 10" is probably the shortest way to illustrate the sorting differences.
16:40:26kugelyea, I like that too actually

16:41:08*dionoea 's sure that you could come up with a coherent explanation in less than 1000 words

16:47:09dionoeanumeric sort ignores leading zeros while natural sort doesn't according to what I see on the php website
16:47:44Zagordionoea: yeah, that's what I see too. which means our sort is numeric. :-)
16:47:46dionoeathe site mentions sorting stuff with floats in the string like: 1.002 and 1.1
16:47:57dionoeain which cas ignoring leading zeros is bad
16:47:59dionoea*case
16:48:13*Zagor stops arguing about this now
16:49:00rasher> POSIX sort(1) has the -n option to sort numbers, but this doesn't work if there is a non-numeric prefix.

19:27:25preglowi saw one once...
19:27:49preglowwhy?
19:28:25n1si think i have 2 for testing somewhere
19:29:57saratogapreglow: I just pulled some of their IRAM
19:30:09saratogasince it seemed to have little impact on their decoding performance, at least on PP
19:30:47saratogaand eventually I'd like to remove support for them entirely on lowmem targets
19:30:58amiconnOn coldfire things are *way* different regarding performance and IRAM
19:31:01saratogasince they seem to require an extra half MB of memory
19:31:14amiconnAlso don't forget PP5002
19:31:30preglowyeah, but seriously, how many use floor0 files?
19:31:34preglowlike 0.00001%?
19:31:40saratogathey haven't been used in 6 years by Xiph
19:31:41preglowi think this is ok, we have to be realistic
19:31:48amiconnWell, either we should support them properly, or not at all
19:31:55preglowamiconn: agreed
19:32:06saratogawell as long as they're real time i'm not too concerned
19:32:09n1si think that bad performance for floor0 can be accepted but we should play them if at all possible
19:32:15preglowthen test and see
19:32:24preglowi wouldn't be completely opposed to removing floor0 support
19:32:26 Join domonoky [0] (n=Domonoky@rockbox/developer/domonoky)
19:32:33saratogai think it makes sense on a lot of targets
19:32:47saratogaan extra 500KB of buffer for hd targets would be quite nice
19:32:51preglowanother option is splitting up the vorbis codec to handle each file type separately
19:32:51preglowbut we might not wanna go that way
19:32:52amiconnn1s: Unless I missed something, making things slower than for standard vorbis files will easily make them non-realtime on PP5002
19:33:05n1swhat exactly do we gain from dropping support for them?
19:33:12preglowiram, it seems
19:33:15preglowmore speed for ordinary files
19:33:19n1samiconn: ah, didn't realize they were that slow
19:33:25saratogano we don't need IRAM to decode them, at least i doubt it
19:33:54preglowsome kind of init time iram_alloc() might be very practical
19:34:08preglowso a codec could decide it's iram use some time during init
19:34:23preglowthen we could alloc full iram for both floor0 and floor1
19:34:33saratogamostly i'd like to shirnk the codec buffer to 512KB, and that will mean dropping them
19:34:52preglowhow big is it now again?
19:34:55saratoga1MB
19:34:56amiconnWhy do they need that much ram?
19:35:19saratogaamiconn: it allocates a ton of buffer space by design
19:35:31 Quit bimbel ("Woah!")
19:35:32saratogafor this reason it was replaced but not depreciated by xiph
19:35:40amiconnDoes it actually *use* all that ram?
19:36:03saratogai'd be surprised if tremor malloc buffers it doesn't use
19:36:08saratogabut i can't say for sure

19:37:20amiconnIt probably won't allocate buffers it doesn't use at all, but (1) it might use less than what it allocates for each buffer and (2) it might not need all of them at the same time
19:37:40preglowyou'll just run into the typical vorbis problem
19:37:40 Quit j8048188 (Client Quit)
19:37:41saratogaanyway its premature to worry about now, since AAC needs to be fixed first, but once thats done supporting floor0 will be the only use for that extra buffer space
19:37:51preglowit wastes memoruy, but there is no hard limit
19:38:22 Quit Horscht (Read error: 113 (No route to host))
19:38:41saratogaand 500KB is an enormous amount of RAM to spend on a feature that few if any people ever need
19:38:44n1samiconn: before the codec and malloc buffers were merged, the file in FS #5796 crashed −− it tried to malloc more than half a meg and exhaused the malloc buffer
19:38:49amiconnWell, we *could* add proper malloc for codecs and plugins. It might make debugging harder though...
19:39:14saratogawhat would we use for the malloc buffer?
19:39:43amiconnThe rest of the respective buffer: codec buffer for codecs, plugin buffer for plugins
19:40:21saratogawe'd still be wasting an enormous amount of memory just to support a beta version of the vorbis encoder
19:40:22 Join bmbl [0] (n=Miranda@unaffiliated/bmbl)
19:40:26amiconnThat's like it is now afaik, just that our el cheapo malloc doesn't have free()
19:40:44saratogatremor actually has a tmp_malloc that can free IIRC
19:41:20amiconnsaratoga: The question is whether we need nearly as much as we have now. Does the file in FS #5796 malloc everything at once, or in small chunks, calling free() inbetween?
19:41:31saratogawhen i looked at mallocs in floor0, it seemed like there was 1 enormous malloc for several hundred KB
19:41:35amiconnsaratoga: There's a nice 'bestfit' malloc somewhere on haxx...
19:42:02amiconnhmm
19:42:03saratogalet me double check what it did
19:42:41amiconnIs there any vorbis encoder that can produce floor0 files?
19:42:49n1sthe problem with tremor imho is that the code is very resistant to reading :/
19:43:36saratogano i'm wrong theres 3-4 totalling several hundred KB
19:44:23saratogan1s: that and the fact that Xiph puts no limits at all on how big each buffer can be
19:44:42amiconnHmm: "No known Vorbis encoder past Xiph.org's own beta 4 makes use of floor 0"
19:44:50amiconnDo we need to support beta encoders?
19:44:56saratogaso we can't easily make assumptions about buffer sizes
19:45:02saratogaamiconn: Xiph says we do!
19:45:03preglowit's not really a practical problem
19:45:06preglowno one has floor0 files
19:46:04 Quit Darksair ("People who are zhuangbility want to show their niubility but only reflect their shability.")
19:46:21n1samiconn: the vorbis standard claims that floor0 should be supported and the fact that we've gotten bug reports about it suggests that some files are out there but they are probably not that many
19:46:21amiconn"Floor 1 is also considerably less expensive to decode than floor 0" <== That means floor0 might not even be realtime now...
19:46:25preglowif we were to disable floor0 support today, i doubt we'd hear a single complaint for a long time
19:46:38saratogaI'd really just like to remove it and see if anyone complains, then maybe point them to the last stable release or maybe a define int he config files that reenables it, in case theres some really old vorbis user out there
19:46:40*domonoky would think it would be okey, to detect floor0 files, and refuse to play them.
19:46:44amiconn(on some targets)
19:46:57saratogapeople who tested beta versions of vorbis can probably compile anyway
19:47:01n1sI'm not against dropping support for floor0 as long as there is any gain from doing so
19:47:32kadobanis there a way to take a screenshot in the simulator? all of the external programs i'm trying aren't working well (they keep including the "resizing handle" on the bottom right)

19:48:27saratogai just think its absurd that we fret about 20KB for image resizing while wasting 20x as much on codecs
19:48:39n1sdomonoky: we can't shrink the codec buffer until aac is fixed
19:49:01saratogatrue but fixing AAC is possible
19:49:14saratogai'm hoping to get it done next week after I return from a trip
19:49:37amiconnsaratoga: Does vorbis free some of those blocks before allocating the next?
19:49:38domonokyn1s: yes, but when its fixed, we can do it. Also the low-mem targets dont have a codec-buffer this big. So they probably just crash on such a file at moment...

19:50:24n1sdomonoky: as i said, if there is any gain i'm not against it
19:50:29saratogai just printed the malloc pointer instead
19:51:00amiconnHmm. DEBUGF()ing in the sim should be possible. Just DEBUGF() the malloc() and free() calls
19:51:11saratogaamiconn: i'll do free right now
19:51:40***Saving seen data "./dancer.seen"
19:52:04amiconnEven if free() does nothing but print, it should still be possible to tell what tremor is actually doing, and then we can tell whether a better malloc implementation would help
19:53:07pixelmakadoban: F5
19:53:22*amiconn wonders whether other DAPs supporting vorbis also support floor0

20:37:53saratogai suppose a quick and dirty free implementation wouldn't be too hard anyway

22:19:01l403hello
22:21:58l403I opened up my Meizu M6SL. markun, do you need pictures of the inside? I looked on the port page and the link to the meizu forum with internal pictures seems to be broken. don;t know wether they weren't pics of SP

22:31:28mcuelenaerel403: it's always nice to have some extra pictures
22:34:04l403well, I managed to pop off the back cover but can't flip out the pcb to see the other side. I see the samsung ARM, something that might be the codec and maybe a power manager so don't know if I should try to open it.
22:41:52gevaertsIf you find an easy way to do it, go ahead, but don't break your player in the attempt...

22:52:10l403hi gevaerts :) how is it going? I opened it cause it wouldn't turn on cause some moisture/water got in and I thought its dead but then I found an oxidized robon connector guess coming out of the sensor, so I cleaned it and it works again
22:52:58gevaertsl403: I hope to work on the meizu again soon :)

23:17:41l403gevaerts: where shouold I put my findings? shouold I try to insert it somwhere appropriate in the wiki or just leave a post in the forum and some of you willl organize it conviniently into the wiki?
23:18:21gevaertsl403: attach them somewhere on the wiki. If someone finds a better place later they can easily be moved
23:18:36LloreanBut you should try to be appropriate if you can.
23:18:43l403okeley dokeley
23:20:16gevaertshttp://www.rockbox.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/MeizuM6Port has some pictures already (of the M6SP I guess).
23:20:45gevaertsAt least it has links to pictures that once existed...
23:22:54l403I cant loaod the link to meizu forum foor the SL picturez
23:23:53l403argh, I don't feel like filling in my ral name in the wiki registration :-(
23:24:12 Nick pixelma_ is now known as pixelma (n=pixelma@rockbox/staff/pixelma)
23:24:59l403I guess I'll have to leave it somewhere in the pastebin for you when I'm finished
23:25:31gevaertsThat doesn't really solve things. We generally don't like to not know where content comes from
23:28:03gevaertsi.e. the real name policy isn't there to be difficult, it's there to be reasonably sure of copyright status of material. Putting things on a pastebin anonymously for someone else to put them on a wiki goes directly against that
23:29:27l403I, the copyright hollder of the work that is yet to be done :D releasy it under public dumain :D
23:29:43gevaertsOK. Then add a note with your name stating that :)
23:29:55kadobanl403: that's not very helpful unless anyone has any idea who you are :)
