02:18:42perrikwpAnyone here experts on the Gigabeat S install?
02:19:47BigBambiWhat's the issue?
02:21:01perrikwpI used the Windows beastpatcher and it works, except when I shutdown and start it back up it doesn't work
02:21:17BigBambimore info please
02:22:24 Join Llorean [0] (n=DarkkOne@ppp-70-243-32-116.dsl.hstntx.swbell.net)
02:24:20perrikwpthe rockbox bootloader is installed and rockbox boots after the beastpatcher quits, but after turning the Gigabeat off and turning it back on it asks to restore or update the firmware
02:24:43BigBambisingle or dual-boot bootloader?
02:24:54perrikwpsingle bootloader
02:25:59BigBambiWhen was the bootloader built?
02:28:49perrikwpI just used the windows beastpatcher provided by linuxstb, I don't know when the bootloader inside it was built
02:29:23 Join Beta2K [0] (i=1000@d36-124-26.home1.cgocable.net)
02:29:29BigBambiI'm wondering if the on-the-fly partition fixing is upsetting the OF
02:29:45perrikwpmaybe I should try sendfirm instead?
02:30:01LloreanBigBambi: Wouldn't it upset the OF independent of bootloader version? It's in the main build too, right?
02:30:18gevaertsHow could it?
02:30:26LloreanI can't imagine how it would
02:30:32LloreanUnless it failed to restore it, possibly
02:30:40LloreanWell, it's never written though, ignore that
02:30:45BigBambiMe neither, I'm just speculating
02:31:10BigBambiperrikwp: There is a older single bootloader (nk.bin) on the wiki that you can install with sendfirm and see if there is any difference
02:31:55BigBambiLlorean, gevaerts: I'm not blaming that at all - I just haven't seen this issue before and there have been some recent bootloader changes
02:32:56perrikwpok, i'll try it, give me a sec to test it
02:33:00BigBambiStill, as you say, unless something changes the disk/partitioning/etc., the OF shouldn't care

03:08:03Unhelpfulthere's a theory that newer beast flash does not like the single-boot bootloader.
03:13:03perrikwpok I tried the older bootloader and sendfirm from the wiki and I have the same problem
03:13:21 Quit Nico_P (Remote closed the connection)
03:13:45perrikwpso I should try making a dual-boot bootloader to see if that fixes the problem?
03:16:39Unhelpfulperrikwp: it's solved *some* users' troubles with forced restores
03:18:33 Quit Xerion (Read error: 104 (Connection reset by peer))
03:19:27jhMikeSUnhelpful: Am I to understand now that some beasts force restore no matter single or dual? I haven't heard of this suggested until now.
03:20:25UnhelpfuljhMikeS: no, the some is due to the fact that i never heard again from some of the problem cases that they had solved it, or how. dual may very well have worked for them.
03:28:07perrikwpok I'm going to make a dual bootloader and see what happens
03:29:56jhMikeSUnhelpful: I guess I'll make a patch with a large word fill to create a big bootloader and ask someone to test to see if that makes any difference.
03:30:33 Quit miepchen^schlaf ()
03:31:56Unhelpfulis there a checksum that has to be correct, so that we can't just pad the "normal" bootloader binary with zeroes?
03:32:39 Join miepchen^schlaf [0] (n=miepel@p579EC563.dip.t-dialin.net)
03:34:00jhMikeSIf we _have_ to, I suppose those fields would need an update from the beastpatcher. I wouldn't fill by default. I don't want to get ahead of myself but I don't know where else to start.
03:39:13Unhelpfulso, *if* that works, beastpatcher would take an unpadded bootloader, and for "single-boot" installs, modify the checksum header fields as needed and pad the end with NULLs?
03:44:15jhMikeSI think. The bootloader is in that funky wince format that I'm not too familiar with. Of course I hope it's really that simple (maybe it wants something fancy).
03:55:05 Join steve6446 [0] (n=3ab2cbef@gateway/web/cgi-irc/labb.contactor.se/x-eea7ac4daa314a5a)
03:55:10steve6446hi
03:56:31Unhelpfuli can imagine that some format oddities might lead to trouble if the padding is not part of a defined section.... best test is to try it, i've been meaning to flash my beast up to 1.2 and play around with it, maybe tomorrow night.
03:56:42steve6446i have a gigabeat f60 i just installed rockbox on it with the rockbox utility and my gigabeat keeps loading the original firmware is there a way to force it to load rockbox?
03:57:36scorche|shif it keeps loading the original firmware, then the installation is not complete
03:58:34steve6446it says its completed
04:00
04:03:05jhMikeSUnhelpful: I'm filling using the .lds so that shouldn't be a problem here
04:05:26perrikwphow do I use mknkboot?
04:05:30jhMikeSThis will zero fill the bl to be about 12MB (like OF): jhmikes.cleansoap.org/gigabeat-s-padded-bootloader.patch">http://jhmikes.cleansoap.org/gigabeat-s-padded-bootloader.patch
04:06:20jhMikeSIf that works, I guess a binsearch would find a minimum size.

04:12:32Unhelpfulit would be nice if we could get rb bootloader in ROM ;)
04:12:40saratogacan the ROM be patched easily?
04:12:46saratogaor is it complicated like on the F
04:13:07jhMikeSI really can't say at this point. I've not looked at that aspect yet.
04:13:45jhMikeSI'd love to have it as FAT32 all the way and no retailos at all...that would be nice.

04:29:08gartralalright, i'm having a severe case of Stupid-User-Syndrome... i cant get rbutil to install rockbox from my ubuntu machine...
04:29:23jhMikeSsaratoga: what was the complication of the F? IRAM works fine on the S. I recall the IRAM problem there making things difficult.
04:29:35krazykitgartral, on what player? some need root
04:30:59saratogajhMikeS: its been possible to patch the F's firmware for a year or two now I think
04:31:14saratogai think its just considered risky since you erase it and then write a new one
04:31:56saratogasoap: no I don't think you did
04:32:09saratogaI read his exchange yesterday and honestly had no idea what the hell he was talking about
04:33:16gartralkrazykit: e250 v1
04:33:31krazykitgartral, that's one of the ones that needs root permissions
04:34:00gartraloh... now i feel really dumb :\
04:35:58***Saving seen data "./dancer.seen"
04:36:56perrikwpUnhelpful: the dual-boot bootloader works, the Gigabeat S flash must not like the single bootloader
04:37:40saratogaperhaps the null padding idea will help with the single bootloader then
04:38:15perrikwpi'll try out that patch tomorrow to see if it helps
04:38:22perrikwpthanks for everyones help

12:18:51SmokeDogok i'll just shoot anyways and idle here for a bit and hope someone will message me
12:19:59SmokeDogso umm.... loading rockbox on it puts a second "os" on an ipod at that point by flashing the firmware will you loose the tracks you have on there already or will it make a seperate bootable folder and run for there instead while still keeping the tracks you have on said ipod or do you have to reload all the songs on there after said install?
12:20:35n1sno you won't lose you're tracks
12:20:46n1salthough a backup is always a good idea

17:14:14gartralhmm, after starting to use the linux rbutil to update my bootloaderm rb itself comes up as "r20098:20153M-090301"
17:14:42gartrals// bootloaderm/bootloader,
17:15:23linuxstbWhat do you mean? The bootloader shows that version number, or Rockbox itself does? If the latter, then that's nothing to do with the bootloader.
17:16:21gartrallinuxstb: the latter, and i should be more specific, after i gave rbutil root, to install the bootloader and update rockbox, sorry
17:18:16BigBambiand so it has?
17:19:18*gevaerts doesn't really see any question here
17:19:29*BigBambi neither
17:19:39BigBambiYou updated Rockbox and Rockbox has been updated...
17:19:40gartralhow do i return it to a normal build?
17:19:51BigBambi?
17:19:55linuxstbInstall a normal build.
17:20:12BigBambiWhat do you mean by "normal build"?
17:20:15gartralbut it says "M" at the end of the build string, wich looks like a combined build string!
17:20:31BigBambiM means modofied
17:20:37gartrali know that
17:20:46BigBambiBut for some reason "normal" builds sometimes have it too
17:20:49robin0800linuxstb: yes windows ok of ok on alpha5 all outher usb products ok in alpha5 just rockbox so far
17:21:08gartrali also know i shouldn't see it at the end of a build string that was from a build installed with rbutil
17:21:26gevaertsThat's the first time you say that...
17:21:31BigBambisee what I just said
17:21:55gartralok... so i'm panicking for nothing?
17:22:05linuxstbgartral: So your question is "Why does one of the Rockbox builds on the build server have the version string r20098:20153M-090301" ?

17:24:07BigBambiHow on earth could your computer cause it?
17:24:15*BigBambi decides to be more simple
17:24:21BigBambigartral: No, don't worry
17:24:38Unhelpfulgartral: your computer can not have modified the version string in that fashion by accident.
17:25:40gartralcause in the past, iv'e been knopwn too do stupid things to my computer that leave it in a half functioning state without reliseing it, and nearly crashed an entire NAS server once....
17:26:08gartralbut it was my one fault, non the less
17:26:59gartralback to point: theres no problem and i still have an "official build", right?
17:27:14gevaertsWhat target is this?
17:27:18BigBambiYES

17:36:33gevaertsAfter manual unzip of *what*?
17:37:02gartralthe rockbox.zip of the current builds page
17:37:22*gevaerts gives up
17:37:26rasherI'd *guess* it's related to http://build.rockbox.org/ showing r20098 for some targets, but I think we need Bagder to figure out what's going on
17:39:13rasherWe basically have no way of knowing what that build is. Could be any mix of r20098 and r20153 code
17:40:10gartralwell, it has stable USB...

17:40:38gartraloh

17:41:35 Join J-23 [0] (n=zelazko@unix.net.pl)
17:41:44BigBambi+ if the current i broken (less important now there are releases)
17:42:17gevaertssoap: just for cases like this where the current build is doubtful
17:42:27soapIt is not like gartral's problem is an uncommon one. Considering "support" is only offered for the (most recent) current build or releases then that also removes use for "daily" builds.
17:42:40soapThen cache 2, 3, 4 "current" builds.
17:42:55amiconnHmm. Is there a reason why credits.pl resides in apps/plugins/ ?
17:42:59soapinstead of daily ones.
17:43:40gartralamiconn: because the credits.rock plugin is a plugin
17:43:41gartral'?
17:43:56amiconnAll other build scripts reside in tools/
17:44:18Lloreansoap: They're usually called "archived" builds in most cases.

18:24:12gevaertskugel: I agree, but I have to read it several times to see it
18:24:17Lloreangevaerts: If the algorithm works like the sample seems to suggest, it recognizes all series of digits as a "number" rather than as a string of digits, so it's pretty descriptive.

19:23:11Lloreankugel: "together" doesn't mean same commit, you could do the manual work and commit it immediately before or afte.r
19:23:13linuxstbi.e. is it only when a bad font is committed? Or can other things accidentally break them?
19:23:20kugelI mean, I'd gladly do it myself. But a) I don't have the manual toolchain, b) I'm not a native English speaker
19:23:49Lloreankugel: The idea though is not to have features sitting around waiting for someone to document them, because it generally means the manual just gets less and less correct.
19:24:41LloreanFor example, if you're worried about your English you could post the text of the proposed manual entry to -dev so people can comment on it and help tidy it up.
19:24:49kugelI know the idea. But I always have the manual and don't wait for someone

19:28:11fmllinuxstb: and a change to convbdf can be caused by a change in Rockbox's core (convbdf should be honest and accurately tell what problems might occur with valid fonts if they are used in RB) :-) It's a chain reaction.
19:28:21linuxstbfml: It sounds more like something for a separate webpage (possibly automated - like rasher's .lang file pages) listing current fonts with problems that need fixing.
19:28:38kugeloh, I have the toolchain
19:28:40linuxstbfml: How can a change in Rockbox's core change convbdf? Does it share code?

19:48:38kugelis this good?
19:48:40kugelhttp://pastie.org/403915
19:49:00linuxstbIt just seems to be saying "most glyphs are this height, but some are bigger", whereas we need to know the height of the biggest.
19:49:04Lloreankugel: I'd avoid the word "intuitive" as it means different things for different people
19:49:40rasher"at the beginning or within filenames" => "in filenames"
19:50:10Lloreanenables a sorting algorithm which is able to interpret series of digits at the beginning or within filenames as whole numbers and allows the files to be sorted based on their value rather than comparing one digit at a time. \setting{As digit} disables this algorithm, so that each digit is compared seperately.
19:50:11fmlkugel: I'd also avoid the word "algorithm"
19:50:19linuxstbkugel: I would refer to this being the default way Windows Explorer and OS X Finder sort things, and provide some examples.
19:50:32linuxstbi.e. choose 3 or 4 names, and show them sorted in the two ways.
19:50:37rasherAnd Nautilus!
19:51:38fmllinuxstb: the settings (ascent, descent) define (a) the distance between two base lines and (b) how glyphs should be placed on a line
19:52:09kugelrasher: well, nautilus has some more extras w.r.t to sortin
19:52:44linuxstbfml: Maybe we're simply calculating "font_height" wrongly? i.e. using the distance between two base lines, whereas we should be using "distance between top of highest glyph and bottom of lowest glyph".
19:52:44rasherkugel: Like what? It does use natsort.
19:53:12rasherlinuxstb: That might be smarter, given Rockbox' font renderer
19:53:33Lloreanlinuxstb: FONT_ASCENT and FONT_DESCENT are supposedly intended to be used for spacing, but we may want to use a calculated absolute height instead so that we can show and scroll full accent marks.
19:53:39kugelrasher: ignores leading dots and underscores, _ and - within filenames sort the same
19:53:55Lloreanlinuxstb: I think we're not using it "wrongly" so much as "our case doesn't work well with their intended purpose"
19:54:04fmllinuxstb: no, I think we do it correct. Doing it your way would avoid the need to clip but it would also change the distance between base lines and thus would change the "font picture" −− something explicitly set by the font designer
19:54:12rasherkugel: Right, well as long as you avoid those things in your example, you *could* mention it, though there's probably no need to
19:54:20linuxstbI meant "wrongly" in terms of "not the best way for Rockbox".
19:55:09linuxstbfml: I don't understand. All we're doing is in effect setting a larger line-spacing between lines of fonts.
19:55:21linuxstbs/we're/we would/
19:55:35linuxstbBah, I meant "All we would be doing..."
19:55:38rasherAnd that would *only* be for fonts which have glyphs that are "too large"
19:55:56fmllinuxstb: you're right. But this "only" is considered a very important measure in a font
19:57:22linuxstbWell, I can see five choices: 1) Reject the font; 2) Reject the glyph; 3) Clip the glyph; 4) Increase the font height; 5) Rewrite the Rockbox font rendering and scrolling code...

20:02:57rasherI don't see how you can claim you've made a good font if the user will have to fight with overlapping text

20:13:31fmlLlorean: sorry, I don't understand. What is leading?
20:14:01Lloreanfml: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leading
20:15:26fmlAh, ok. But that's only done in word processing and DTP systems. Rockbox always uses leading = 0 (i.e. no extra space between lines)
20:16:19LloreanIt's also done in display of webpages through CSS properties, etc.
20:16:42LloreanBasically, anywhere you're going to display multiple lines of text you need to decide if you're going to be spacing them. Apparently some fonts assume a certain minimum added line spacing (for some reason).
20:17:41fgallinaIs there a way to compile my test plugin and test it on the uiSimulator?
20:18:05Lloreanfgallina: Yes, by compiling a simulator build with your plugin included.
20:18:06fmlLlorean: No, I think that those are extra features. A "natural" picture, i.e. as thought by the font designer, is without leading
20:18:45Lloreanfml: I find this hard to believe since leading has been around as long enough that the term actually refers to the lead spacers used in old print typography.
20:18:56LloreanBy now people ought to know that their lines will include spacing.
20:19:59fgallinaLlorean: if I make any changes to my plugin how can I recompile only my plugin?
20:20:30Lloreanfgallina: If you compile in the same build directory it should only recompile files that need recompiling.
20:20:36fmlLlorean: leading has always been used to fill up pages and paragraphs. This is similar to how char spacing is changed to fill the lines in newspapers. But that's advanced typesetting which we don't have in RB
20:21:41LloreanBut why *shouldn't* we simply space lines to make it more readable?
20:23:59fmlLlorean: we could (of course at compile time, i.e. when running convbdf). But that wouldn't solve all problems because something would always be left. But yes, we could introduce a "stretchability" or "tolerance" parameter to convbdf.
20:24:56LloreanMy suggestion is to add a little extra spacing when necessary, but temper it with a maximum after which we clip so that we don't end up having giant amounts of spacing for a few characters that the user may never even see.
20:27:02linuxstbI still think that making Rockbox consider "font height" as the maximum distance between the top of the highest font and the bottom of the lowest is more useful - fonts which take advantage of that feature don't seem suited to Rockbox.
20:28:10 Join petur [50] (n=petur@rockbox/developer/petur)
20:29:13fmllinuxstb: if we had the warnings the font wouldn't have been included (because it's apparently not suited for RB)
20:30:21fmllinuxstb: I mean, the person who wanted to include it would see the warnings and wouldn't do it in the end
20:30:29linuxstbI just meant that if a warning was added, we would know what fonts it affected, and could then decide what to do with them - one option would be to delete the font.

20:47:13peturlet me fetch it first and see if it still holds some charge
20:47:17linuxstbrasher: Maybe it would be more useful to build ipodpatcher and sansapatcher binaries. Windows/Linux binaries are easy - just copy the bootloaders into the sansapatcher/ipodpatcher directory and type "make" or "make ipodpatcher.exe" (and same for sansapatcher)
20:48:08rasherHow does the H10 bootloader installation work?

21:05:50dberg918hey, just wanted to put something on the IRC record
21:06:14dberg918I was here a few days ago talking about FLAC files that were skipping on my H10 20GB
21:06:30dberg918turns out the problem was the album art in those directories
21:06:49linuxstbAh, so nothing to do with them being FLAC files?
21:06:54dberg918ever since resizing was committed to SVN, I stopped manually resizing everything
21:06:59dberg918nope
21:07:17dberg918so the art in those directories was pretty big
21:07:23dberg918that's what was causing problems
21:07:28 Join jaykay [0] (n=chatzill@p579E76E9.dip.t-dialin.net)
21:07:28linuxstbAh, so the problem is the delay when resizing your album-art?
21:07:32dberg918yeah
21:07:57linuxstbThat sounds nasty...
21:08:03dberg918in one directory, it was bigger than 1000x1000, so the .bmp was like 5MB

21:10:02dberg918I know, what am I doing with 500x500 album art
21:10:25rasherdberg918: that wouldn't really help any, since the delay happens when resizing, and a 60kb jpg would uncompress to a large size before resizing (unless we cheat)

21:11:13rasherTrue. Hard to know which it is, I guess
21:11:24dberg918that's what I figured linuxstb, especially if you're trying to load FLAC files into the buffer all the while
21:12:31dberg918so yeah, if anyone comes in talking about lagging playback, checking album art is certainly worth a mention
21:12:34 Quit Chris_Black ("off")
21:13:10linuxstbNo-one has tested a H10 20GB it seems, but according to this page http://www.rockbox.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/DiskSpeed the similar ipod 4G reads at either 2215 KB/s or 3495 KB/s, depending on whether the read is aligned.

21:15:53dberg918it answers pretty much all the questions I had...
21:15:57linuxstbdberg918: But I think I would call that a bug - if we say to users that they can use any size album-art, I wouldn't expect large images to interfere with playback.
21:16:35dberg918shall I file a report about revising some documentation?
21:17:04rasherWas it jhMikeS who committed a change that might fix all sorts of lock-ups on h1x0?

21:19:13rasherah yes, r19991
21:20:17dberg918linuxstb: the AlbumArt page makes no mention of using any size album art...but it doesn't make a recommendation either
21:20:53Unhelpfulrasher: there are rather excellent cheats available when decoding jpeg - you can use a partial iDCT that actually uses fewer operations than decoding all of the coefficients, to produce a smaller block. this can be done for any N/8 scale if chroma is not subsampled, and i think any N/4 scale if it is.
21:21:07rasherUnhelpful: Yeah, I just realised that while I was typing it
21:21:31 Quit fml ("CGI:IRC 0.5.9 (2006/06/06)")
21:21:42dberg918maybe if there was just a disclaimer stating that album art size can adversely affect initial playback?
21:22:05rasherdberg918: I'll add one to the manual
21:22:06Unhelpfuldberg918: did it? it shouldn't, the scaler yields every row.
21:22:09linuxstbdberg918: I would say it's a bug in Rockbox, not a bug in the documentation. Although that's debatable - if it's hard to fix, we would need to tell users to limit their art to a certain size.
21:22:26dberg918oh
21:22:49saratogaperhaps the actually buffering code doesn't yeild enough while loading the bmp into memory?
21:22:52dberg918so, you're saying the album art should be loaded kind of, "around" playback?
21:23:14saratogathough I suppose this would go away if we got jpeg support in core . . .
21:23:20*rasher will hold off doing anything then
21:24:00linuxstbThat's how I would have expected it to work. Although with FLAC (and any similar high-bitrate codec) the problem would be that the decoding thread runs out of data before the album art is loaded, and the next track isn't buffered until after the metadata (including album-art) is loaded...
21:24:12 Quit BHSPitLappy (Remote closed the connection)
21:24:26linuxstbs/would be/could be/
21:24:35kugellinuxstb: or at least recomment something. Like saying that having bmp's bigger than screen size doesn't make much sense (and may cause playback problems)
21:24:55Unhelpfulsaratoga: well, isn't the bitmap loaded *by* the buffering thread? the yield should suffice to prevent stalling of playback of buffered material, but obviously nothing can be done about getting the next track into buffer, unless bitmap loads are split to another thread
21:25:04*rasher thought the album art thread scaled while loading, so the yields should happen while reading a swell
21:25:20*rasher was wrong, it seems
21:25:34Unhelpful...is there an album art thread?
21:25:54saratogai assumed it was done by buffering, in which case Unhelpful's explination makes sense
21:25:54kugelI don't think so
21:26:02linuxstbI'm guessing it's done on the buffering thread as well.
21:26:10kugelthe loading happens in the buffering thread, iiuc
21:26:17saratogadoes the ATA DMA patch work on the H10?
21:26:37Unhelpfulsaratoga: i'm only guessing it is... but it would explain the behavior
21:26:38linuxstbSo either: a) the buffering/resize thread is starving the codec thread; or b) the codec thread runs out of data.
21:27:25dberg918the lag/skipping happens right at the beginning of playback
21:27:40rasherUnhelpful: That's not quite what I meant to type :)
21:27:44linuxstbYou mean when you start the first track?
21:27:47dberg918I hear about 1 second of music, then it skips
21:28:05dberg918it happens whenever I play a track in a directory that has gigantic album art
21:28:18dberg918play as in, actively select
21:28:21Unhelpfulcould the bitmap be *so* large that yield-per-line doesn't suffice?
21:28:40saratogai doubt it

21:29:20Unhelpfulsaratoga: resize_on_load boosts around the call to the actual scaler
21:29:26saratogaah ok

21:41:09saratogaits really strange that doesn't translate into a battery life improvement
21:42:24gevaertsDoes the disk spin down immediately after buffering?

21:52:16soapLlorean: You've long held that view, but IIRC we had quite a bit of problems with older bootloaders and the iPod series upon the switch.
21:53:09Lloreansoap: The problem we had was that it looked in the root before in .rockbox, so it loaded the older build.
21:53:17LloreanNot that it didn't look in .rockbox at all.
21:53:29soapbut it isn't petur's issue (him being (at least) one step ahead of me already). Ahh on the sequence.
21:53:58LloreanYeah. I'm pretty sure the iPod bootloader always looked in both, but the default order was bad for the changeover.

22:50:16rasherThose are the ones that don't compile
22:50:16*amiconn wonders what he missed
22:50:24amiconn(re bootloaders)
22:50:35fgallinarasher: yes you are right, sorry about that. However I think it should be remarked, perhaps making a title regarding compilation.
22:50:38peturH10 bootloaders failing to load the OF
22:50:43rasheramiconn: Trying to track down when the h10_5gb bootloader stopped being able to boot the OF
22:50:49amiconnah
22:50:59amiconnWell, my H10 is able to boot the OF
22:51:18amiconnI'm using the latest official bootloader iirc
22:51:20rasherBut you're probably using something like ~r12800 if you're using the release bootloader
22:51:23peturrasher: are you still uploading or what?
22:51:35rasherpetur: no, done.. the missing ones don't compile
22:51:45petureeek indeed

22:52:01*linuxstb sees saratoga's commit and wonders why Tremor is reading tags at all...
22:52:24*amiconn recommends to compared .map file between the latest working and a non-working one
22:52:46rasherr14004 looks likely to possibly break a bootloader

22:53:20amiconnThe non-working bootloader usb in bootbox turned out to be the missing usb thread, which was visible in the .map

22:54:00petur14001 is ok, going for 14003 now
22:54:15rasherr14006 *might* also be interesting, but less likely, I think
22:54:40linuxstbsaratoga: Wouldn't the correct fix for FS #9866 be to stop Tremor from reading tags? Lear mentioned that in the comments on that task.
22:55:48petur14003 is fine as well

22:57:33rasherThough I'd probably use something other than foo and bar

22:59:06kugeland what? :)
22:59:33kugelI could pick some random album of mine
22:59:40JdGordonkugel: I'd change the first sentance to something like "enables a sorting which resembles the sorting in most standard browsers, where groups of digits are considered numbers and sorted before letter, e.g ..."
23:00
23:00:14kugelsorted before letter?
23:00:28rasherkugel: Doesn't really matter, I just think using foo bar etc looks a bit "unpolished"

23:04:08kugelkadoban: Why?
23:04:33rasherkugel: To make obvious that it's not only about initial numbers
23:04:38kadobankugel: it looks overly complicated and seems to work without it? maybe it's just me
23:04:54rasherpetur: so 14003 is good, 14016 is bad, and the ones in between don't build?
23:05:07rasherpetur: Wait, how about 14015?
23:05:16petur14015 is also bad
23:05:28peturI never tried 14016

23:28:10 Quit tyfoo (Read error: 104 (Connection reset by peer))
23:28:18lunix151I just started to test the new usb support in the Sansa e200
23:29:13lunix151I can mount it just fine but rhythmbox and banshee both hang and spit the following message "ptp_usb_getresp: detected short response of 32 bytes, expect problems!"
23:29:22*amiconn summons Zagor
23:30:00linuxstblunix151: Hmm, sounds like those apps are attempting to use MTP
23:30:07rasherlunix151: That sounds a bit like they're expecting an MTP device
23:30:07*linuxstb summons gevaerts
23:30:10rasherToo slow..
23:30:19lunix151yes
23:30:23*gevaerts was going to say the same
23:30:41*Bagder thought PTP was for cameras...
23:30:48 Quit robin0800 (Read error: 113 (No route to host))
23:30:49rasherBagder: MTP is a dialect of PTP
23:30:56gevaertsTreating a mass storage device as MTP isn't going to work well
23:31:00lunix151ok so the rockbox firmware doesn't support mtp then? ill just turn off that plugin the
23:31:03lunix151then
23:31:05lunix151makes sense
23:31:19rasherBagder: And I believe those use libgphoto or a derived library to do mtp
23:31:24LloreanMaybe they're hard-coded to try MTP, since modern firmwares on the e200 have that auto-detect feature that does UMS if it thinks the host can't do MTP?
23:31:47LloreanAre the VID/PID different in MTP mode?
23:31:48linuxstblibmtp is based on libgphoto I believe. At least, there are lots of ptp_* functions in there.
23:32:02rasherMystery solved.
23:32:08gevaertslunix151: exactly. I'd like to have mtp, but probably not enough to do the work myself...
23:34:09 Quit robin0800_ (Remote closed the connection)

23:34:29linuxstbI don't know what it gives in that magic mode though...
23:35:43gevaertsI expect that this magic mode is just mtp with automatic disconnect and reconnect as msc if it doesn't get an mtp connection
23:45:57linuxstbSo the OF has "magic mode" and "UMS only mode" ?
23:46:28kugelYou can also chose mtp only

23:46:29gevaertsI think so, yes
23:46:46kugelin which case it doesn't connect at all, if the host cannot do mtp

23:51:14lunix151well I just disabled the mtp plugin in banshee then created a .is_audio_player file on my sansa and its working great now

23:52:00gevaertsrasher: currently it goes straight to OF (ROM?) USB mode on startup if plugged in. Not sure if that's the rockbox bootloader or the OF
23:52:31rasherAh, missed that. Seems like some OF thing, but pre-rockbox?
23:52:43*rasher has little idea about the H10+
23:52:53gevaertsPossibly. I'm not entirely sure
23:53:41gevaertsAnyway I think it's good to check that the code still works :)
