00:09:29kugelmaybe you should try to write some red pixel to the display, that magically helps on the fuze/e200 too

00:22:27linuxstbNo
00:22:40linuxstbWell, it it will, but you will overwrite the OF.
00:22:40n17ikhseems to have worked for me...
00:22:52n17ikhOh. did I break it? >_>
00:22:54linuxstbs/it it will/it will work/
00:23:05linuxstbYes ;)
00:23:09n17ikhhehe
00:23:16n17ikhhow do I fix it? just run sansapatcher on it?
00:23:16linuxstbAlthough now you have Rockbox USB mode to rescue you
00:23:56n17ikhactually, yeah, I don't care that much
00:24:23linuxstbI think you will need to use recovery mode to restore the OF, then run sansapatcher -a
00:24:32n17ikhok
00:24:34linuxstbOr just forget about the OF
00:24:48n17ikhyeah, I might do that
00:25:34n17ikhso how did that work? I overwrote the OF *and* the bootloader with just the new bootloader?
00:25:49kugelonly the OF
00:26:01n17ikhbecause it boots into rockbox on usb plug now, like it should
00:26:02kugelthe OF bootloader is still present
00:26:06n17ikhso the old bootloader is gone
00:26:13n17ikhthe old rockbox bootloader, that is
00:27:12kugelhm. I guess the OF bootloader loads the old rockbox bootloader, which in turn tries to load the OF (which you replaced by the new rockbox bootloader)

00:45:38n17ikhnow sansapatcher won't run anymore because I don't have the sansa OF
00:45:45n17ikhit thinks it's the old-style rockbox install
00:45:54linuxstbWell, it is.
00:46:06n17ikhneeds more force option
00:46:22linuxstbWhat are you trying to do?
00:46:31n17ikhwrite a new rockbox bootloader
00:46:57linuxstbI thought you just installed the new bootloader?
00:47:02n17ikhyeah, over the OF
00:47:14n17ikhI want it installed where the bootloader should be
00:47:25n17ikhbecause I planned on replacing the OF
00:47:25cbechtI have a sansa e260v2. I checked out rockbox from svn and built firmware for it. But I don't know how to dot he actual install. I can't find install instructions for the v2 since it isn't officially supported yet. Any tips?
00:47:33linuxstbn17ikh: So you have the bootloader.bin file now?
00:47:41n17ikhno, that's not what I'm trying to do.
00:48:06linuxstbThen I don't understand. The OF doesn't exist any more - hence the error from sansapatcher.
00:48:08n17ikhI'm replacing an old rockbox bootloader with a new rockbox bootloader, I'm leaving the OF bootloader alone.
00:48:29linuxstbUnless you've restored it.
00:48:40n17ikhwell, I tried
00:48:51n17ikhsansapatcher said "the OF doesn't exist!" and refuses to do it.
00:49:06n17ikhusing the -of option
00:49:14linuxstbHelp me catch up. You firstly installed the new bootloader by copying the .mi4 file to drive and updating in the OF?
00:49:26n17ikhyes.
00:49:30linuxstbThen what did you do?
00:49:33n17ikhnothing.
00:49:44cbechtsansapatcher gives me this:
00:49:47cbecht[INFO] Scanning disk devices...
00:49:47cbecht[ERR] No E200s or C200s found, aborting
00:49:47cbecht[ERR] Please connect your sansa and ensure it is in UMS mode
00:50:18linuxstbn17ikh: I already said that that method of installing the bootloader overwrites the OF. That's why sansapatcher is telling you it doesn't exist.
00:50:18cbechtThe device is connected and in UMS mode. I've tried with it mounted to /sansa and unmounted.
00:50:27n17ikhyeah, I know
00:50:29linuxstbcbecht: Are you root/Administrator?
00:50:38cbechtlinuxstb: Yep.
00:50:45n17ikhI realize that the OF no longer exists. I've downloaded it again and am trying to replace it.
00:51:00linuxstbYou need to use recovery mode for that.
00:51:12cbechtDoes it require libusb or soemthing?
00:51:12n17ikhsansapatcher -of doesn't work?

00:53:18kugelI mean the rb bootloader
00:54:21n17ikhwow, the OF takes a long time to boot
00:54:26n17ikhusing the OF bootloader
00:54:35cbechtI'm using the sansapatcher linked from the e200v1 install instructions. Is there a later one that would understand the v2 hardware? Or should I be building that from svn?

00:57:51linuxstbcbecht: sansapatcher doesn't work (and will never work) on the v2s.
00:59:18cbechtlinuxstb: Ok. Well, my problem is that I am building svn firmware for my v2 and I can't find install instructions. So I was using the instructions from the v1 hoping they were sufficiently similar. Is there a better source of instructions? Or could you tell me how to get the rockbox bootloader installed? (I already have the .rockbox directory on the player)
01:00
01:01:15linuxstbYou need to use the mkamsboot tool in utils/mkamsboot/ - this combines the Rockbox bootloader (bootloader-xxxx.sansa) with an original firmware file to create a new firmware that you install on the device.
01:05:59cbechtAh Ha!
01:06:08cbechtThat was the missing bit of information I needed. Thanks

02:50:14LloreanDreamlayers reported charging isn't actually set up properly for iPod USB charging, I think.
02:51:13JdGordonim talking about h300 though... was the default always to not chage on usb connect?
02:51:30LloreanYeah, don't know why.
02:51:41LloreanIs the Gigabeat S expected to charge over USB?
02:52:33JdGordonok wierd.. i thought it was always enabled... that explains wy it didnt chagre last night
02:52:36linuxstbLlorean: I think it should in Rockbox itself, but not the bootloader.
02:52:55JdGordonits only a PP thing that it could be problematic right?
02:53:54Lloreanlinuxstb: It didn't *seem* to be charging in my car, but I'm not sure. It showed an icon next to the battery in the status bar, but the WPS didn't show charging, and when I reached my destination I don't think the battery level was any higher (but the Beast seems to have unreliable enough readings I'm not certain)

02:57:38LloreanI seem to recall some mention of it being a switch between 100 and 500, and if it's at 500 some PCs won't recognize it?
02:58:00LloreanI asked about it once out of curiosity, but it was a long time ago, and once again I could be confusing something else.
02:58:39linuxstbIt all comes from here - http://www.rockbox.org/tracker/4770
02:59:33linuxstbIt seems the H300 can draw too much power from an unpowered hub (to quote LinusN)

03:05:42linuxstbspidermang: I think that's a known issue. Which ipod?
03:06:00kadobanokay, no worries
03:08:12JdGordonkadoban: is it every plugin (which uses one of the 2 standard menus?)
03:09:05kadobanJdGordon: i believe so. It was every one where it was easy to get the menu to show up and disappear at least...let me look.

03:57:48kugelsaratoga: hi
03:58:05kugelany updates on the compiler/mp3?
03:58:29saratogakugel: i'll probably take a look at it this weekend
03:58:34saratogaright now i'm really busy with research

04:04:14kugelI kept the compilers though (the binaries), so I should be able to compile new builds

04:06:39saratogaso maybe theres some chance
04:07:01saratogabut i guess it would be most interesting to look at coldfire and the gigabeast since gcc has more improvements for those processors
04:09:43kugelI have the m68k compiler built too
04:10:04saratogai need to get one of those players to test with

05:00:02webguestingtonit just started doing this.. and before that, i wasn't able to do the trick where you hold Menu and charge it without mounting it.
05:00:23webguestingtonya know?
05:00:57webguestingtonmidgey, does that mean there's no answer?

05:02:04webguestingtonoh okay i gets it. i'm sorry guys.

05:02:41midgeyand which version of rockbox (svn revision)?
05:03:04webguestingtonlatest release.
05:03:30midgeya revision number is preferred. latest release is ambiguous
05:03:57midgeysome people mean 3.1, some mean a version they think is latest but is slightly out of date, etc

05:06:10midgeyUnhelpful: removing the attribute for the plugin_api in plugin.h seemed to help

05:11:49webguestingtonit's slightly aggravating because it just now started doing this..
05:12:22Unhelpfulthe attribute is not strictly needed, i *think* for sim? it solves an init problem on target when iram is used.
05:13:28midgeyi think ATTR_ICODE etc are blank for sims
05:14:44midgeywebguestington: my 4G seems to be charging fine through usb, but I'm on a more recent verision
05:15:37Unhelpfulmidgey: by "seems to help", do you mean that it works if you remove the attribute?

05:16:07midgeyi'm checking with latest svn
05:16:48webguestingtonshould i get the latest daily build and try that?

05:22:32Unhelpfulmidgey: you need to make sure that such a change is #ifdef'd for sim. it *will* break things on targets.
05:23:00midgeyright, osx builds for targets without complaint so i wasn't going to touch that
05:23:41midgeyis the attribute technically correct for the sim? i can probably come up with some ifdef magic to only change for osx

07:28:38JdGordonhave you got a lit of the plugins wich dont use a stanard menu?
07:29:38kadobanthe ones that use a non-standard menu, or the ones that don't have any menu at all? (either way, it's in FS #9953). the only ones included are the ones i'm considering or have already added playback control to though
07:30:00kadobanthe second bunch are "doesn't have a menu", and the third bunch are "has a non-standard menu"

07:32:24kadobanUnhelpful: oh, i don't know if i even considered pictureflow...let me look at it
07:33:08Unhelpfulyou don't list it under any of your categories. it lacks playback control, and i'm in the process of making it actually work during playback (it doesn't work, now, if buffer is full)

07:33:53kadobanyeah, i left some out for various reasons. i think pictureflow was purely laziness...i don't use album art, so it wouldn't run and i didn't get around to trying it
07:34:31kadobanif it works during playback though, i'd definitely work something up for it

07:39:03kadobananyway, for the menu-instead-of-quiiting-directly thing, it can be made fairly unobtrusive by the standard move-out-of-menu buttons being mapped to quit unless Playback Control has been used since the menu opened. if anyone thinks that the idea is particularly stupid, let me know in the next hour or so...otherwise i'll code up a patch.
07:40:15Unhelpfulmaybe just have a menu with "playback control" and "quit" in it, for plugins that lack any menu right now?
07:40:50kadobanyeah, that's the idea. the other ones i've either just added a new menu item or converted them to standard menus and added an item

08:09:49amiconnUnhelpful: Really? I can't imagine that a target won't be able to cache at least 5 slides.
08:10:49amiconnBut of course the cache center shifting while scrolling would be an optimisation, and trying to cache at least all visible slides would have priority
08:13:53amiconnAnother important point (when the cache is large enough) is to make sure the disk won't be spinning up every time you scroll

08:40:16JdGordonhttp://pastebin.com/m7ec9083a

08:45:37Unhelpfulamiconn: i think more than the plugin buffer is needed, if you want to scroll more than a few slides without going to disk. based on the average slide size, and reported buffer remaining after init on my beast, there is room for ~9 slides in the cache
08:45:57amiconnsure
08:46:08JdGordongrr, well this fix works, but now the statusbar is displayed over the logo on boot... is that bad?
08:46:11 Quit cool_walking_ ("http://www.mibbit.com ajax IRC Client")

08:49:26gartralwould it be possible to have rockbox drop the USB connection on a long key press or something similar? like when you hold center to keep rockbox usable and not initialise USB, just charge?
08:49:40JdGordonrtfm....
08:49:44JdGordonit does that already
08:50:28gartralJdGordon: i mean after USB is initialised, not before
08:50:39midgeyin theory it is possible
08:50:48midgeyi believe it was suggested the other day
08:50:57Unhelpfulyes, but only by very few, so that scrolling one or two slides goes to disk... unless there's extra buffer from core. also, you can get, although it looks a bit cramped, 9 slides on screen on ipodvideo

08:52:11amiconnDropping the usb connection "by force" would be very unclean
08:52:25gartralno worse than just unplugging the device
08:52:53amiconnWhat could (and probably should) be done is that rockbox exits the usb screen when you disconnect safely
08:53:16Unhelpfulright now it doesn't ever attempt to cache more than the "number of slides" setting * 2 + 1 slides, although if the cache buffer is large enough, more slides may be left cached in the direction you've just scrolled from, since they're cached LRU
08:54:01kadobanthe only reason i ever see that being useful is if rockbox gets confused and still thinks the USB is active when it really isn't. does that ever happen? (it doesn't to me)
08:54:22JdGordonOH FFS!!! part of the bar problem not redrawing is because of the screens which block in their button loops...

09:00:02kadobanJdGordon: isn't the problem fairly simple? it seems that there is simply no force drawing of the statusbar when lists open, so unless there is new information the statusbar doesn't actually get drawn. i guess there is code that's supposed to be doing the right thing somewhere that i didn't see/understand?
09:01:09JdGordonkadoban: well, yes and no... its *supposed* to force a redraw when the bar gets toggled which should do it, but it looks like somebad ordering somewhere is stopping it
09:01:27kadobanoh okay, that makes sense
09:01:29JdGordonso yes your fix wil work, but mine is doing the same thing, 1 level further "down"

09:31:28pj188899this is like a major function for me

09:31:41pj188899BUT
09:31:44Lsslol mine is 80gig
09:31:50Lssi have almost 3 times yoru problems
09:31:52pj188899 i dont want ot fi i can view files by artist..
09:32:25pj188899it dont matter..
09:32:30pj188899just asking why it was doing that
09:32:48Lssif you only have mp3 and dont mind itunes you could sync your ipod under the official firmware
09:32:53Lssso its properly tagged
09:32:58Lssand then fire up database
09:33:16Lssas a added bonus your songs would work both under rockbox and official firmware
09:33:17pj188899idk how
09:33:31pj188899i just added rock box
09:33:31Lssjust use the ipod the usual way with itunes
09:33:41pj188899nah im good i hat itunes..
09:33:43pj188899hate
09:33:45Lssafter you are done you boot to rockbox and initialise the database
09:33:51Lssor update it if its already there
09:34:00Lssthen its not a problem i gues
09:34:02Lssguess
09:34:09pj188899idk how to boot something ona ipod..

09:35:20pj188899ok then

10:17:45kadobanCould anyone take a glance at this and see if they have any big objections? http://www.majidejima.com/playback-or-quit.patch I mentioned it earlier but it's a way to add the Playback Control menu to plugins without menus. Instead of immediately exiting, it brings up a small menu with Playback Control and Quit.
10:18:22kadoban(just want to check before i add it to a whole bunch of plugins only to find out it's awful)
10:20:17gartrali'm trying to figure out why reversi registers both the *press* of the center key, and *then* brings up the context menu... as far as i can tell, i should just be able to invert the placement of 2 lines, and have it work
10:21:51kadobangartral: and does it work if you do so?
10:22:00gartrali can't build...
10:22:40linuxstbgartral: It probably just uses something like "BUTTON_NAME", but it should be "BUTTON_NAME | BUTTON_REL" - so it does the short-press action on release, not first press. Or maybe you can switch to using the action API....
10:24:35pixelmaright above the BUTTON_REPEAT one - assuming you are looking at the Sansa keymaps
10:25:26gartralyes
10:25:49gartraleventually i'll identify all the "offendin values" and change them
10:25:53pixelmalinuxstb: I hope you don't mean PLA...
10:26:17pixelmagartral: as far as I can see there only is one
10:27:25gartralyes, the sansa specific ones are combined, but i meant across the entire file
10:28:56kadobanit looks like the _PRE stuff is only set up for ondio
10:29:01kadobani assume that that's the problem
10:29:08pixelmaonly the Ondio keymap use long press vs. short press of a button - and it already checks BUTTON_REL and BUTTON_REPEAT

11:20:02DarkSpectrumis there a pre-compiled download for the sansa clip i can experiment with?
11:22:44Unhelpfulyou could check the unsupported builds forum, or the port's new port thread, or wiki page, but generally unsupported targets are not really ready for the general public...
11:22:50gartralFS #9961 is my new patch. and Lss yes, upside down mode is under settings>general settings>display>LCD settings>Upside down *IF* the hardware supports it
11:23:44gartralhey, shouldn't that be called Display Settings for consistency?

11:23:46n1skadoban: maybe i am not the target user of playback controls in the plufins, never understood why we want them at all but I *do* value quick exit in simple plugins and would rather not see an extra menu added just to be able to skip to the next track
11:24:09DarkSpectrumty been lookin for hours and couldnt find anything pre-compiled
11:24:51n1sgartral: Settings->Display->Display Settings?
11:25:37n1sbtw _LCD_ settings are seperate from display settings, the lcd settings are for the lcd and display is more general app settings
11:25:50kadobann1s: does it matter that it's pretty easy to exit from? (on e200 << and power both exit from that menu)
11:26:11Lssdang its not there
11:26:23Lssmay i know which ipods actually support this?
11:26:37gartraln1s: thats the path too the upside down mode in my e250
11:26:50n1skadoban: so if you press << in the menu it exits the plugin?
11:27:35kadobann1s: yes. how i have it now is if you don't first go into the Playback Control manaully (select or >>), the normal "get me out of this menu" buttons will exit the plugin
11:28:02n1sgartral: no, my point was that if you changed "LCD settings" to "Display settings" it would be a very weird menu structure
11:28:04kadobanif you go into that menu first, it assumes you just wanted to mess with playback and will resume after
11:28:20Unhelpfulkadoban: that seems somwhat unintuitive to me, shouldn't that return you to the plugin?
11:29:06n1syes, that is not how menus work regularly in rockbox, they tend to return to where they were opened if you exit
11:29:16kadobanUnhelpful: i don't know, it's easy enough to do, but i wanted to make it unobtrusive to exit (another quick button press of the button you probably pressed to get there instead of selecting Quit from the menu)

11:32:33gartralwrong place n1s, i was thinking settings>General settings>Display Settings>LCD Settings, instead of settings>General settings>Display>LCD Settings, sorry kadoban
11:33:23pixelmagartral: I think you meant Lss - but according to the manual, e.g. the Ipod Video really doesn't have it (it's probably not known how to)
11:33:33kadobanwe could of course stick with the current state of affairs, and just not have playback control in those games, but it makes it kind of suck to use them long term while listening to music
11:33:53n1sgartral: ok, then i misunderstood but note how none of the entries under General Settings contain the word "Settings"
11:33:54pixelmawell, Rockbox is about music ;)
11:35:56kadobanright, that's why i want to add playback control to as many plugins as it makes sense to :)
11:36:00*linuxstb thinks it would be nice if all games saved their state when exiting, and automatically resumed when started
11:37:15kadobanthat would add a decent amount of complexity though

11:42:20kadobanUnhelpful: alright, that was my feeling as well. i guess i'll just continue, it's easy to change the behavior of the menu itself at a later time anyway

13:38:55Alex00088I just loaded a .cfg file, after not doing that for months. Is it just me, or has that been sped up A LOT?
13:40:37LloreanBagder: The way it was explained to me, the host operating system is the problem. We're exporting it as a block device, and it expects to be the only user of the file system. So at best, I guess maybe Rockbox could be in read-only mode during that time, but I seem to recall there were other complications too.
13:42:43LloreanAlex00088: iPod 5G?
13:42:53Alex00088Sansa c240
13:43:16LloreanI don't remember any recent changes to flash access on it, but I could be wrong.
13:43:27Alex00088If it hasn't been sped up, what might I be doing different to get it to load faster?
13:44:28LloreanYou might've been experiencing a bug before, or been doing it during periods of playback when the CPU and flash were busy?
13:45:27Alex00088I don't know. Right now they load in a few seconds, but a few months ago, I think it could take ~1 minute
13:45:44LloreanThat should never have been the case. Whatever caused it, something was wrong.
13:46:03LloreanI thought you were talking maybe dropping from 2-3 seconds to less than 1 second.

14:04:05LloreanIf it's too big for your tastes, turn it off and reboot again.
14:09:25gartralram lists are in bytes, right? (im 80% sue they are, i'm just making 100% sure)
14:09:50LloreanI don't even know what you mean by "ram lists"
14:10:49gartralwhere it shows how much ram its using versus how much is there too use
14:11:34gartralall rockbox says is "RAM: 134028/167216"
14:12:03gartralthats under Database Info in the debug menu
14:12:15LloreanThat's how much it's using, out of how much is reserved for it.
14:12:23LloreanShould be in bytes, yes.
14:13:26gartral:) thank you

14:25:25*Nico_P wonders whether FS #8894 could be included into 3.2
14:26:24linuxstbCasainho: Look in firmware/pcm.c - the dma handler will call the get_more() function passed to pcm_play_data() each time it finishes a transfer.
14:27:47Casainholinuxstb: where is the DMA handler?
14:28:11linuxstbThat's what you have to write - the ISR that is called when DMA is complete.
14:28:43Casainhoah, okok - I think I understand.
14:28:55linuxstbThere should be one in pcm-coldfire.c

17:02:35pixelmayes, and the Mini
17:02:44kugelwhy is that?
17:03:20gevaertsrasher: it could, yes. I don't really know what to look for though. I have some suspicions though, but I need to think about them a bit more
17:03:39pixelmaa short read of the SVN logs last time, it seems that this define was introduced for wheel accelaration which has not been adapted to non-"clickwheel" Ipods yet in the driver
17:03:44 Part B4gder
17:05:08kugelwell, that's a bug, imo
17:05:27kugeli.e. my commit was OK
17:05:47pixelma?
17:06:06LambdaCalculus37saratoga: (for the logs) There's a Gigabeat T firmware update released by Toshiba for non-WiFi models (i.e. the US models); we should check it out to see if there's a digital signature exploit like on the S.
17:06:11*LambdaCalculus37 wonders if that was correct
17:06:26pixelmaunfortunately I'm not sure what exactly happens now but potentially breaking a plugin is not ok, IMO
17:06:41kugelif scrollwheel targets don't define scrollwheel
17:06:41 Join domonoky [0] (n=Domonoky@rockbox/developer/domonoky)
17:07:02kugelthat's a bug. Plugins should define their own scrollwheel just because of that
17:07:40kugelpixelma: and no, it's not broken. I know that because e200/fuze didn't use the code within SCROLL_WHEEL, and the scrollwheel worked anyway
17:07:43pixelmawell, that global define has a misleading name... and I guess the plugin was there before this wheel accelaration stuff
17:08:26*LambdaCalculus37 goes to put the link to the firmware updater on the wiki
17:08:31gartralkugel: but could it be thats what's causing doom to not pick uo some scroll wheel action on the E200s?
17:08:47kugelgartral: No, that's something entirely different
17:08:55gartralooook
17:08:55kugelthis is only about rockblox

17:09:12kugelgartral: http://www.rockbox.org/tracker/task/5153
17:10:45Lloreankugel: Even if a define is badly named, you shouldn't use it until you know what it does (don't trust the name).
17:12:39kugelI know what it does. I just didn't know some scrollwheel targets don't define it
17:12:58pixelmait looks like it could work differently now on thos Ipods, don't know
17:13:12pixelmaeven if not completely broken
17:13:25Lloreankugel: I don't understand that sentence. If you knew what it does, that means you should know why it's defined, and by which targets...
17:13:39Llorean"What it does" includes what uses it.
17:14:11kugelI know that it ( is supposed to) identify scrollwheel targets AND activates wheel acceleration.
17:14:20kugelI messed with HAVE_SCROLLWHEEL on the fuze
17:14:52Llorean"What it's supposed to do" is different from "what it actually does" though.
17:14:54LloreanThat was my point.
17:14:57kugelknowing what it does doesn't include that which targets don't define it (wrongly, imo)
17:15:25pixelmathey can't just define it
17:15:33kugelLlorean: It's supposed to identify scrollwheel targets, and activates wheel acceleration code. That IS what it does
17:15:59Lloreankugel: Clearly it's NOT what it does, since some scrollwheel targets don't have the define.
17:16:03LloreanIt's what it *should* do, not what it *does*
17:16:24LloreanIt identifies some, but not all, targets with a wheel.
17:16:26kugelLlorean: it activates wheel acceleration code, it DOES that
17:16:30Lloreanyes, it does that
17:16:50LloreanBut in every previous line, you've also claimed it does something else.
17:17:01kugelI did not
17:17:11pixelmaif I understood correctly it needs some work on the driver(s)
17:17:31kugelpixelma: either this, or it wheel acceleration code should be based off a different define
17:17:41Lloreankugel: If you were only using it to activate acceleration, why'd you remove the other define?
17:17:51kugelthat acceleration thing got me into trouble on the fuze as well
17:17:57pixelmayes

17:31:23 Quit GodEater_ ("http://www.mibbit.com ajax IRC Client")
17:31:27LloreanAnd the e200 wheel gives us absolute positioning too, doesn't it? We have deltas.
17:31:44LloreanSomething like 96 values that it scrolls through?
17:31:47kugelthe e200 wheel doesn't give absolute position
17:32:06Lloreankugel: It gives absolute position on a scale, rather than just "scrolling left" or "scrolling right"
17:32:25LloreanMy understanding was that the old wheels were like having a "left" button and a "right" button, effectively.
17:32:35kugelthe e200 scrolling is read by 2 bits
17:32:37LloreanYou didn't have the information to get a delta for speed.

17:34:47Lloreankugel: I was still talking about the iPod wheels when I talked abuot the information. That's why I didn't say "kugel:" before it indicating it was a response to your newer statements, rather than a continuation of my current topic.
17:36:56kugelanyway, on the e200 (and fuze) you have deltas, not sure about other wheels
17:37:07Lloreankugel: e200v1 or v2?
17:38:17kugelboth
17:38:32LloreanAh, I see. We do have absolute positioning within a range, as I said. You have the 00, 01, 10, 11, but they allow us to keep track of exactly where the wheel is and how fast it moved.

17:39:48kugel"And the e200 wheel gives us absolute positioning too, doesn't it?" that was the question
17:40:03kugeland I answered that it doesn't give the absolute position
17:40:20LloreanIt does, though, as far as "absolute" can go with a physically rotating wheel with no reference mark.
17:40:31LloreanOnce we've started tracking it, we know exactly how far rotated it is from its original position.

17:40:51saratogai thought i had but it seems the log script stopped working a couple hours back
17:40:53kugelonly the delta is tracked
17:41:02LloreanIt's tracked temporarily for the purpose of determining the delta.
17:41:05LloreanWe could track it wholly.
17:41:11LloreanWe don't have a need to, though.
17:41:15kugeland the time between the calls of the clickwheel function determines the acceleration
17:41:29kugelI don't see how my statement was wrong
17:42:42LloreanThe e200 wheel gives enough information for absolute positioning. In total effect, it gives absolute positioning. My point was to contrast this with the early iPod wheels

17:42:53pixelmasaratoga: there is still the raw text log
17:43:39Lloreankugel: On the c200, for example, we have no wheel. Just an up button and a down button. If you hold "up" you can't get a delta, because it's just "true" for up, or not. That's how the early iPod wheels were explained to me. You just know if they're scrolling or not, not how far or how fast.
17:44:05LloreanI don't know if this explanation is definitely how they work, just what I was told about a limitation of them.
17:44:08kugelLlorean: my point was: just by reading the wheel values, you cannot determine the absolute position. You need exact tracking, from the point of when the wheel was powered on.

19:31:22Lloreangevaerts: Maybe we should ask all future benches be done without headphones attached. They're already very artificial circumstances since they don't include skipping, etc. At least this way we'd round out one of the user-specific factors.

19:32:39gevaertsLlorean: if we assume that benches from different people can be compared anyway, that sounds like a good idea
19:33:22gartralgevaerts: i wonder how many sansa owners don't have the original headphones...
19:33:27kugelOur benches are meaningless anyway, since they aren't scientific who cares!
19:33:37Lloreangevaerts: Well, we could provide test files, maybe. They're only comparable under similar circumstances.
19:33:46kugelthat at least 1 guy once claimed
19:34:16kugel(that's not my opinion!)
19:34:24gevaertsLlorean: I was thinking more about the state of the battery, but yes, files matter as well
19:34:28kugelevilnick: if you can at least install a build from work, 5 lines up
19:34:29*freqmod_gq think battery benches will never be simular as batteries have different wear-level
19:34:58gevaertsI think benches are really only comparable if you only change a single variable at a time
19:35:05*gartral knows his battery doesn't quite last a full 24 hours
19:35:14Lloreangevaerts: True. Honestly I think the only "interesting" number is the ratio of Rockbox time to OF time, given the same playlist and headphones and player.
19:35:34woyciesjeskugel: Got it.
19:35:36gevaertsLlorean: that, and for testing specific patches or features of course

19:41:40pondlifeThanks
19:41:43 Part gartral
19:42:08rasherOr something like that. It refers to the db builder
19:42:09pondlifeThe sim is currently broken if you use the −−root option (like I do)... it has a couple of hard-coded "simdisk"s...
19:42:54pondlifeHmm, didn't get far... cc1: error: unrecognized command line option "-Wno-pointer-sign"
19:43:40linuxstbpondlife: checkwps also uses that PCTOOL define.
19:43:46pondlifeAh, ok

19:45:42kugelwell, probably hard to judge, but you may see that it didn't update while the lcd was off if you turn it on
19:45:48pondlifeCan someone else try to build checkwps or the database tool?
19:45:58MaxHorkHave a question regarding the sansa e250 and a microSD card
19:46:02pondlifeNeither compiles here, maybe it's a Cygwin thing?
19:46:18linuxstbYes, cygwin isn't supported here ;)
19:46:28pondlifecheckwps' buildall gives lots of "../../firmware/export/debug.h:27: error: parse error before "ATTRIBUTE_PRINTF"" errors

19:47:11gevaertspondlife: linux
19:47:28pondlifeHmm, my GCC doesn't like -Wno-pointer-sign at all
19:47:42pondlifegcc 3.4.4
19:48:08linuxstbWorks fine for me - all targets build without warning.
19:48:22linuxstb$ gcc −−version

19:48:32woyciesjeskugel: K. Gimme a few moments...
19:48:36pondlife3.4.4 is rather old...
19:48:48*pondlife looks for a newer gcc
19:48:49rasherI'd expect cygwin to have something newer available
19:49:37gevaertslinuxstb: checkwps.c:74: error: expected identifier or ‘(’ before ‘unsigned’
19:50:03gevaertsI expect some header defining htole32 already
19:51:11linuxstbNothing in my /usr/include defines it...
19:52:42gevaertsAnd 3.4 doesn't build the database tool here either. I agree with having all possible warnings, but I'm not sure if it's worth it for host-side tools if the price is supporting fewer compilers
19:53:58gevaertslinuxstb: endian.h has it here. Debian unstable amd64.
19:55:55MaxHorkIs there a possible way to make the information from the files>microsd1 card show up in the Database for the music on the sansa e250?
19:56:09linuxstbgevaerts: Hmm, and my Ubuntu 8.10 doesn't have it anywhere...
19:56:51rasherMaxHork: It will be there if the card is inserted when you create/update the databse
19:57:01rasherAnd nothing breaks.

20:00:29gevaertsMaybe that's the difference
20:00:43gevaertsA few #ifndefs around it?
20:00:59MaxHorkI have another question about the size of the MicroSD card. In the Sansa e250 it said the limit was a 2GB card. Since installing Rockbox is the restriction different or unchanged?
20:01:16BagderMaxHork: any size you can find!
20:01:23pondlifeOK, if anyone can build either checkwps or the database tool, perhaps they'd like to check out http://www.rockbox.org/tracker/task/9964 before I commit it :)
20:01:54woyciesjeskugel: tested. Not working right for me. Chose song, let it play to next. Looked at WPS, had updated.
20:02:20woyciesjesThen, skipped to next track, while screen was active, did not update. Skipped two more, still no update.
20:02:41MaxHorkAwesome. Excellent job guys. Great work, fast intialize on the device no horrible waiting to load times really quality work. Thank you for your efforts and continued support.
20:03:13woyciesjesWent to main menu, then tried to go to Now Playing. Did not switch to WPS, but the controls acted as if I were on the WPS. Let the screen bacl out, during the song, hit a button to bring it back, and there it was.
20:03:24CaptainKwelkugel: doesn't seem to ever refresh until the screen wakes up (after going to sleep), and then only once at that instant.
20:03:47woyciesjesBasically, seems like you achieved the opposite. WPS updates while the screen is off, and not if it's on.

20:18:06gartralmight i ask how we managed to completely skip a whole revision number?
20:18:12kugelthis is intended, since the ipod video is transflective
20:18:24kugelit should only not update if the lcd is really off

20:19:41kugelupon turning it on again
20:19:48CaptainKwelyes, backlight != lcd off
20:20:27kugelthe updating solely depends on lcd_enabled(), and lcd_asleep() if the former isn't available
20:20:49CaptainKweloh, wait I see what you're saying
20:20:53kugeland the ipod sleeps the lcd with a little (configurable) delay after backlight went off
20:21:00CaptainKwelSo we can't ever know if it's really working?
20:21:22kugelnot really. On my sansa though, for a split second I see the old wps
20:22:01kugele.g. if the backlight turned off at 2:04, and 10s later I turn it on again, I see for a very split second 2:04, then 2:14
20:22:27CaptainKwelcause it needs to refresh, yeah?
20:22:42kugelCaptainKwel: well, the non-working version actually showed that the concept works, so I expect it to work now

21:18:13rasherbluebrother: How do we handle bootloaders? Do we use the same bootloader when installing release and current builds?
21:18:16BigBambiWhat do people think to a more major version number bump of rbutil with each Rockbox release, and more minor ones for any intermediate fix versions released?
21:18:21rashers/we/rbutil/
21:18:26BigBambiOnly if needed
21:18:32Rhodderzan encryption works is mainly a password and that "encrypts" the file/message with that password, so if you find simularities and work out each sequence in time( in know it may be long) but you might just find the password. anywa it might be something stupid like the serial number or it may evan be in the firmware update file you download when you update or restore it
21:18:37bluebrotherrasher: we aleays install the most recent bootloader from the download server
21:18:40Rhodderzsry had to go to toileyt

21:19:46Rhodderzso is the ipod "hidden" partition like a shadow partition?
21:20:14bluebrotheron the older Ipods it's simply a partition that is not visible in Explorer
21:20:26Rhodderzwhere you can not see it at all as it is run by the machine and the only way to get to it is "change" the machine's bios
21:20:41BigBambino
21:20:45bluebrotherBigBambi: that's the point: rbutil now gets information about the most recent release from the download server, so no update needed with a Rockbox release :)
21:20:46LambdaCalculus37Rhodderz: That clearly shows that you haven't got a single idea of how this works.
21:21:11BigBambibluebrother: Ah, cool. That sounds better :)
21:21:25rasherbluebrother: I think the bootloader situation isn't terribly good though. A release should be static.
21:21:35bluebrotherrasher: I don't think that could be dangerous. In the last years I've only seen lack of forward compatibility ;-)
21:21:37woyciesjeskugel: one more hitch. Came back from the meeting, and the iPod wouldn't wake up from when Rockbox put the display to sleep for the hour. I had to give it the 2finger to bring it back. Not sure if it's related to the Apple firmware bug (mentioned this morning on the dev mailing list)

21:21:48bluebrotherwell, we could add that (like in 1.2 ;-)
21:22:01Rhodderzwhat happens if you take the hard drive out and find a way to plug that into the computer without the ipod there at all
21:22:09rasherbluebrother: Sure, but think about the current issue with booting Rockbox on usb insert. If we updated the bootloaders now, it'd cause confusion for people installing Rockbox 3.1
21:22:14BigBambiYou mean use a caddy!
21:22:15gevaertsrasher: r17357 doesn't work
21:22:24rashergevaerts: oh darn
21:22:31BigBambiRhodderz: You can see the drive, as you would expect
21:22:42bluebrotherrasher: true. Still it would only cause annoyances and / or confusion, no breakage.
21:22:46BigBambiHowever - ENCRYPTION
21:22:49 Join p3tur [50] (n=petur@rockbox/developer/petur)
21:23:13Rhodderzyes but it could be in the ipod instead not the hdd
21:23:16bluebrotherI do agree that the bootloaders for a release could be considered static. Though this doesn't go in line with the way Rockbox currently installs −− build and bootloader are treated separately
21:23:29BigBambiRhodderz: The data is encrypted
21:23:49rasherbluebrother: I'm pretty firmly of the opinion that when installing a release, a "release" bootloader should be installed alongside it
21:23:50 Nick p3tur is now known as petur (n=petur@rockbox/developer/petur)
21:23:54BigBambiRhodderz: The whole point of encryption is that you cant just put the drive in another computer
21:23:55rasherrather than "whatever's current"
21:23:56gevaertsrasher: oh wait...
21:24:21rashergevaerts: well, if you want me to build some more, prod me. I have a loop set up
21:24:42LambdaCalculus37Rhodderz: If it were as easy as you suggested it to be, someone would've done it already. It isn't. It seriously isn't. You're just blindly spouting things without thinking about how this stuff works.
21:24:54bluebrotherrasher: well, I agree that this makes sense (though I'm not too sure if we should do it that way). Still, the current rbutil doesn't allow that easily
21:25:05Nico_Ppondlife: do you think FS #8894 could make it into 3.2?
21:25:12pondlifeI'd like it to
21:25:20pondlifeUpdate about to arrive
21:25:41Rhodderzokay so the only way is if someone from apple leaked the encryption
21:25:45*Nico_P adds it to ReleaseTodo
21:25:51pondlifeI wonder what impact it has on DSP CPU usage though (when disabled)...
21:26:04pondlifeWould be nice if test_codec could include the DSP.
21:26:52rasherRhodderz: There are several other possible ways. None of them easy. None of them have been done.
21:26:57pondlifeOK, last call for a checkwps user to test http://www.rockbox.org/tracker/task/9964
21:27:27rasherpondlife: just checking if checkwps compiles with it?
21:27:29Rhodderzoh well sry for wasting your time

22:17:50gotthardti can later today -
22:18:25pondlifeI'm tempted to precalculate the various sizes at least... but having the redundant variables goes against my normal practice.
22:19:05rasherlinuxstb: I don't think genlang will be of much help, really. You basically need to loop through all phrases and see if the source matches the current english.lang. If it does, change it to match your new english.lang. If not, leave that phrase unchanged.
22:19:33rasherI'm not sure langtool will be of much help either, to be honest
22:19:37*gevaerts confirms
22:19:45gevaertsGigabeat F has issues today
22:19:46linuxstbrasher: Hmm... Or I could just leave it to translators? ;)
22:20:02rasher:(
22:20:10linuxstbI guess not then ;)
22:20:35rasherWe could make genlang case-insensitive, but I don't know if that's a great idea

22:20:41 Quit avis (Remote closed the connection)
22:20:52linuxstbrasher: No, I don't think that's a solution.
22:21:34rasherIt'd really put a rather heavy load on translators though, having to check whether it's a case-only change, or a phrase needing actual attention
22:21:44*linuxstb thinks awk may be his friend here, as he knows it better than perl
22:22:11rasherThat might not be a bad tool for this job
22:22:33rasherCollect the lines between <source> and </source>, and compare
22:23:04rasherDoes awk do associative arrays?
22:23:08linuxstbYep
22:24:38rasherSo load current and sentence-case english.lang in BEGIN, start collecting data on <source>, do the compare/possible replace in </source>, and unconditionally print everything else.
22:24:50rasherOr something like that
22:25:38linuxstbYes, that's what I was thinking.
22:25:56*pondlife has no idea how half his patch vanished..
22:26:00rasherI think it's acceptable if you just do a "dumb" compare of the source strings as a single string (no need to compare the target names and values etc)
22:26:20rasherThat way we might even eliminate some syntax issues

22:29:28Nico_Ppondlife: about your question, I don't really see what you mean
22:30:19pondlifeIf you look in dsp.c, we used to have a fixed RESAMPLE_BUF_RIGHT_CHANNEL - but now it's a calculation.
22:31:08pondlifeAs is SAMPLE_BUF_RIGHT_CHANNEL
22:32:00rashergevaerts: put up a few even older ones
22:32:28Nico_Ppondlife: I don't know, the calculation doesn't seem too complex but how often is it done?
22:32:43pondlifeNot sure.. quite often , I think
22:32:58pondlifeA redundant variable would probably be worthwhile
22:33:39Nico_Ppossibly
22:33:52pondlifeI just don't like redundancy
22:35:19pondlifeAlso, do you see the weird way that the splash appears when you first enable timestretch?
22:35:20***Saving seen data "./dancer.seen"
22:35:28pondlifeI have no idea why that happens
22:36:21*linuxstb senses 3.2 could have quite a nice changelog...
22:36:45gevaertsrasher: r14837 doesn't work either... I'm leaving this to someone who knows the H10

22:38:38Nico_Ppondlife: yes
22:38:47pondlifeI'm more of the opinion it should wait until after, and have the UI improved (i.e. merged with the pitchscreen if possible)...
22:38:58pondlifeBut I suppose it's nearly ready
22:39:40gevaertsrasher: it works with r12862 (the released bootloader)
22:39:50gevaertsSo yes, I think I'm doing it right
22:40:26rasherAh, so we probably just need to go further back, then
22:41:07gevaertsMaybe, but I'm too tired right now...

22:42:05gevaertsThe latest daily build works on gigabeat F, so the bug was introduced after 20122
22:42:22Nico_Ppondlife: I agree the UI isn't quite ready
22:43:55pondlifeToday's version is better, but still I'd hope to work it into the pitch screen. Perhaps UP/DOWN would change pitch in the current way and left/right would speed up/slow down with timestretch. Then we need to reallocate the +/-2% jog functions...
22:44:46gartralmaybe add a return to 100 thing? or is there already an easy way of doing that?
22:44:56rashergevaerts: Okay, I now inserted the required ../tools/scramble -mi4v3 bootloader/bootloader.bin H10.mi4 in my loop. Building new bootloaders now.
22:45:13gevaertsrasher: that's not the issue. This H10 is now a UMS one...
22:45:32gevaertsAnd the wrong scramble line just makes it not boot at all
22:45:32pondlifeMaybe the jog mode should be a third option (pitch up/down, semitone up/down, jog up/down)?
22:45:39Nico_Pgartral: thetre's already a return to 100 button, on the ipod at least
22:45:55Nico_Ppondlife: I don't undersand the use of the jog mode
22:46:04pondlifeIt's for beat matching
22:46:18gartralNico_P: the e200s dont, that im aware of
22:46:26pondlifeSay you're almost in sync, but you want a little "pulse" to sync better...
22:46:29Nico_Pgartral: it's the menu button
22:46:56Nico_Ppondlife: ah, I see
22:47:15rashergevaerts: Alright, building both types now
22:47:34pondlifeI know it's doable on H300, but that is blessed with buttons
22:47:35gartralNico_P: no, that returns to wps while keeping the scale
22:47:42pondlifeIt's SELECT on H300
22:47:49pondlife(aka NAVI)
22:48:07pondlifeMENU toggles the semitone mode
22:48:14Nico_Pinteresting. on ipod select returns to the WPS
22:48:14gartraloh, im just f*ck all retarded, nvm!
22:48:54pondlifeOn H300, PLAY and STOP both return to the WPS
22:49:00Nico_Ppondlife: the ipod lacks a button. maybe timestretch could be a third mode (along with normal and semitone)
22:49:17pondlifeNo, you probably want to use both timestretch and pitch together.
22:49:37pondlifeTo change key whilst slowing it down, say for guitar practice?
22:49:37Nico_Pthen they could simply be two separate screens

22:51:07pondlifeI'm still slightly in fear of the red delta
22:51:13gevaertsmidgey: r20124 broke codecs on gigabeat F (and I guess S). Not sure about others

22:52:05Nico_Ppondlife: IMO the delta shouldn't matter for a feature like that

22:55:21rasherNico_P: Keeping it as low as possible matters though.
22:55:27pondlifeNico_P: I guess it's just the silly splash screen that needs fixing before commit then... Did you see the same problem?
22:55:34*pondlife gets repetitive
22:55:46Nico_Ppondlife: what's the problem?
22:55:56Nico_PI saw the splash screen, but nothing wrong with it
22:56:30pondlifeWhen you enable timestretch for the first time, the splash appears after it exits the menu, and stays until a key is pressed
22:56:46pondlifeIt should appear for 2 seconds BEFORE exiting the menu
22:56:48Nico_Pah yes, it did that

23:02:22amiconngevaerts, midgey: It's quite obvious why r20124 breaks codecs (and probably plugins) on target
23:02:28linuxstbLooking at your change to config.h, you've only defined DATA_ATTR for a subset of targets...
23:02:37midgeyplugins work for me
23:02:49amiconnci (and possibly rb) must stay in .data
23:03:23midgeydamn, you're right

23:07:12midgeyhttp://www.pastebin.ca/1348469
23:07:40pondlifeI thought the current wording was uncontroversial.
23:08:04Nico_Poh, maybe it is
23:08:13amiconnhmm
23:10:25amiconnmidgey: Hmm, maybe the data section has a different name on macos?
23:10:35amiconnThe assembler seems to complain about the dot
23:10:58amiconnThere might be a better solution though
23:12:09amiconnPlugins are indeed unaffected. There's an inconsistency between plugins and codecs:
23:12:33amiconnFor plugins, the loader does the bss zeroing, while codecs do it themselves
23:12:44midgeythe apple documentation seems to suggest .data is fine
23:12:47midgeyhttp://developer.apple.com/DOCUMENTATION/DeveloperTools/Reference/Assembler/040-Assembler_Directives/chapter_5_section_2.html
23:13:03amiconnIf we move the bss zeroing for codecs into the core, that would fix both the incosistency and the crashes

23:30:27*amiconn just notices that it is pure luck that plugins are working, and this inconsistency should most probably be fixed the other way round
23:31:27amiconnThe problem is that the iramcopy overlaps bss. The plugin loader doesn't clear all bss, but just the part after the iramcopy (which is part of the loaded binary image)
23:31:42amiconnThe rest of it is cleared when a plugin calls plugin_iram_init()
23:32:24amiconnSo if 'rb' is placed in .bss, and a plugin uses iram, it depends on where the linker places it whether the plugin breaks or not

23:34:32amiconnThe problem with a (not yet existing plugin_crt0 would be that unlike codecs, only some plugin should init iram, not all of them

23:35:54kadobani'm getting a segfault on starting rockblox in the e200 simulator in r20133. anyone else?
23:36:00*gartral wonders why chessclock tries to re-assume controll after a usb plug/unplug...

23:36:03amiconnImproving plugin startup is independent of that
23:36:35midgeyamiconn: i'll probably commit within 5 minutes. im experimenting with the section attributes on mac
23:37:09amiconnYou could check what asm gcc produces

23:39:58amiconnHmm, actually it wouldn't make much sense to unify plugin and codec startup
23:40:27amiconnI'm a little undecided
23:41:20 Quit {phoenix} (Remote closed the connection)
23:41:25amiconnWith delayed iram init, plugins could apply special tricks like using iram (and hence stopping playback) only after asking the user, or just optionally if music is stopped.
23:42:52amiconnBut there is a *really nasty* gotcha: Since iramcopy and bss are shared, using bss before initing iram *might* mess up the iram copy, and hence crash the plugin later
23:43:56 Quit robin0800__ (Read error: 104 (Connection reset by peer))
23:44:12amiconnThe solution would be to make the sections disjunct - at the cost of allocating a larger part of the plugin buffer for plugins using iram
23:45:25amiconnIf we don't want to use such tricks, startup could be unified to make things easier for plugin devs.
23:46:38amiconnOpinions?
23:47:15*amiconn just found the solution for the two startup variants (plugins with and without iram usage)
23:47:42amiconnplugin_crt0() could check iramsize. If it is zero, the plugin doesn't use iram -> no playback stopping
23:48:41*midgey might have a slightly more correct version of the fix for mac
23:49:55midgeyusing .section __DATA, __data instead of .data seems to work
23:51:35 Quit calman_ ()
23:51:39amiconnSo #ifdef __APPLE__ / #define DATA_ATTR __attribute__((section("__data"))) / #else / #define DATA_ATTR __attribute__((section(".data"))) / #endif

23:54:54kadobanmidgey: i think you're already looking at it (missed some chatter), but r20124 broke rockblox in simulator on linux
23:55:49linuxstbkadoban: Are you sure that wasn't r20113?
23:56:13kadobanlinuxstb: pretty sure, unless i bisected wrong
