00:08:15Res1Probably not feasible

00:12:17joukeHi all, Rockbox thinks my new iPod mini battery is empty when the default firmware thinks it's 50%
00:12:36joukecan I force Rockbox to recalibrate?
00:12:36Mikachukrazykit: if you don't have any sound card at all it could be useful, or if you get crap in your laptop line-out or something maybe? :)
00:12:57joukeit's a replacement battery with 700 (real) mAh
00:13:12Mikachui think there's a setting for how big your battery is somewhere
00:13:28Mikachubut i also think it's only used for time remaining estamates, not % left calculations

00:21:14soapcorrect, Mikachu
00:22:44soapjouke, I can tell you rockbox is displaying a battery percentage based upon the voltage of the battery, and the known maximum and minimum voltage levels for your battery chemistry. What Apple is doing I can not say - but the /percentage/ displayed by Rockbox should be pretty accurate.
00:23:15joukeokay, since the battery is quite new I will try some more charges
00:23:42joukethe ipod firmware could play for a couple of hours more
00:23:57joukeso perhaps the discharge characteristics are different from standard
00:25:44soapif you battery's discharge curve had, for example, plateaus in it - I would expect Rockbox to keep on ticking and the percentage displayed would simply plateau as well. Is Rockbox shutting down on you "prematurely"?
00:30:12Mikachuif he can play music for hours after i'd say yes
00:30:49joukeyes, Rockbox shuts down with a battery symbol
00:31:19joukebut, again, this is only my first cycle
00:31:20soapand if you reboot into Apple firmware immediately after you can continue to play?
00:31:27joukeyes, that is correct

00:32:10Res1hm, yes, disk mode is seemingly unstable on my ipod
00:32:51soapwhich version of Rockbox are you seeing this unstableness on, Res1?

00:33:16Mikachuthe feature i would want is a "safe to unplug" screen
00:33:47 Quit flydutch ("/* empty */")
00:34:26Res1I installed the latest current, version r21151-090531
00:34:50soapand what instability in the disk mode are you seeing?
00:35:07bertrikMikachu, that should be doable technically
00:35:49Mikachui have a hotkey for unmounting the ipod, but it doesn't have any feedback, so i'm always paranoid and look in the logs that it's unmounted, so it doesn't really save any time ;)
00:36:08bertrikbut it's usually the host that tells you it's safe, right?
00:36:46Mikachuyeah, but if i run it from a hotkey i don't get anything
00:38:02Unhelpfulthere could be safety issues even after unmount, if data has not been flushed. unmount *and sync* is safe.
00:40:04Mikachui usually use eject
00:40:22bertrikIIRC, there is a start/stop SCSI command, if the host sent this I think we can assume it's safe
00:40:41bertrikI'm not sure whether all major OSs send this command
00:40:43Mikachuthat seems to be what the apple firmware does, if i just umount, it still shows the stop sign, but after eject it says safe to unplug
00:41:01Mikachuif i umount, i can mount again, but after eject i have to reseat the usb cable
00:41:16Mikachu(still with apple firmware)
00:41:39Mikachuthe same is true for rockbox actually, except it doesn't show anything on screen
00:41:47Mikachuif i eject, the partition devices disappear
00:42:14 Join blaxbb [0] (n=blaxbb@nj-76-6-59-85.dhcp.embarqhsd.net)
00:44:40bertrikI guess an umount does not send the start/stop unit SCSI command yet, but eject does
00:44:57bertrikI think it's best to ask gevaerts when he's back online
00:45:03Mikachuyes, it would be very annoying if umount did

01:49:19Freemanok, anyway i have the following question
01:49:34Freemanits probably a lame one ...
01:49:50tmztjust ask your question
01:50:17Freemanhow can i compile Sansa Fuze boot file
01:50:46tmztread the instructions, install the cross compiler, build from svn
01:50:55tmztask specfic questions if needed
01:50:59Freemani have done that
01:51:06Freemanthe specific question is
01:51:22Freemanhow to install the bootloader
01:51:41tmztyou have already made one with mkamsboot?
01:51:53Freemanthats just the thing
01:51:56tmztwhat filename did it create
01:52:02Freemani have the original firmware
01:52:14Freemanbut how shall i get the second file
01:52:17Freeman?
01:52:29tmzt./configure
01:52:35tmztselect fuze and bootloader
01:52:50tmztmake
01:52:58tmztI haven't done this in a while though
01:53:40saratogaFreeman: if the second file is the rockbox bootloader, you compile it from the rockbox source code
01:54:48Freemanyes, thats exactly the second file
01:55:23Freemanthanks a lot for the help, I will read some more and try to make it
01:55:31Freeman:)
02:00
02:06:24Freemanin the mkamsboot README
02:06:36Freemansays that I shall scramble
02:06:48Freemanthe rockbox bootfile
02:07:17Freemanany idea which options
02:07:19tmztit compresses the OF bootloader and add the rockbox bootloader to it
02:07:27Freemanshall i use
02:07:31tmztso it can boot both
02:07:36Freemanahaaa
02:08:00tmztyou need the OF bootloader which it will check to make sure is valid
02:08:05tmztand the rockbox bootloader
02:08:13tmztrun mkamsboot and follow the directions

04:51:12onlysoaaHello all, anyone got a clue if/how I can build Rockbox as a sim for Windows Mobile?
04:52:49evilnick_homeI don't *think* you can, but I'm not positive
04:53:27Unhelpfulif you have SDL for windows mobile, it might be possible. i doubt it will happen without some work, though. i don't think anybody's tried, really.
04:53:54onlysoaaI read something obscure about cegcc; apparently someone tried before but didn't follow up.
04:54:34onlysoaaSee, I have two devices, and I'd like Rockbox on one of them. One is my HTC Touch Diamond that runs WinMo, and the other is a Samsung P2.
04:55:13onlysoaaSome might remember me fail-attempting to port it to the P2 before. I just lack experience with porting apps, but I'm willing to learn.
04:56:04onlysoaaI figure it's probably easier to port it to the P2 since the Cowon D2 uses the same SoC and firmware format... I have no clue where to start though, as I've never coded drivers before.
04:57:45onlysoaaWould anyone be willing to explain to a casual hacker how the an LCD driver for Rockbox would work?
04:58:26krazykitit seems like reading the code would be the most obvious place to start
05:00
05:00:20 Join kugel [0] (n=kugel@rockbox/developer/kugel)
05:00:49kugelonlysoaa: IIRC, the D2 Rockbox binary runs on the P2 without modifications
05:01:02onlysoaaI've tried before. ;) But with little success. It was like a totally foerign language, although I guess another go can't hurt.
05:01:34kugelhowever, the lcd driver needs some adjusting, as it's pretty much hardcoded for the D2's resolution
05:01:39onlysoaakugel: Whoa, what? Does it? o_o I guess I'll give it a go and see what works and what doesn't.
05:02:05onlysoaaI'd also need to reimplement a touch driver of course. The P2 uses a capacitance screen.
05:02:26onlysoaaWell thanks for the notice. *takes the leap*
05:02:43kugelonlysoaa: please read this forum thread: http://forums.rockbox.org/index.php?topic=15267.30
05:03:08kugelat the end, I posted a link to the IRC logs where I was talking with the guy that just tried to run the D2's rockbox version
05:03:47kugelHowever, in either case, even the D2 Rockbox is unsupport and very premature. That of course applies to the P2 too
05:04:58onlysoaaCool, thanks. I see there's no current build for the D2 either.
05:05:19kugelNo, you'll need to compile it yourself
05:05:53onlysoaaAlrighty. Thankfully I already know how. :P
05:06:15kugelPlease post your findings to that forum thread, I think with some effort the P2 port can step up to the D2 port quite quickly
05:07:07onlysoaaWhoa, isn't that asking a bit too much? :P I guess I'll contribute in whatever way I can, but I don't think I'll be able to go much farther than where the D2 port is at.
05:15:01kugelonlysoaa: no, I just asked to post your findings to the forum thread
05:15:23kugelthe 2nd sentence was just a general statement from my point of view
05:15:42onlysoaaOhh. For sure I'll post my findings.

08:37:02bertrikit would be convenient to have a timer to generate delays on the order of microseconds that are independent of the CPU clock
08:37:48bertrikthe as3525 also has a programmable watchdog timer, how about using that for a delay generation timer?

10:54:15trmssi am using rockbox with 2nd gen. ipod mini and recently I am troubled with a extreme dim screen. When I boot the original firmware, the screen seems to work perfectly but after I boot rockbox, the screen fades away. Any ideas?
10:56:14linuxstbThis has changed recently?
10:56:57trmssyep, and strangely without any updates or other possible trigger... and also I've tried the recent release just in case but no chance
10:57:14bertriktrmss, if you are able to compile your own build from svn, you could try various revisions and bisect it to see exactly which revision caused it
10:58:09bertrikoh in that case, bisecting won't help unfortunately ...
10:59:14linuxstbtrmss: I can't recall anyone else reporting that... Are you saying the backlight works initially when you boot Rockbox, then fades to off?
10:59:15trmssit seems so :( I really couldn't guess where to look with this kind of problem and thought that maybe someone here experienced some similar case...
11:00
11:00:01trmssyes but from the first second even, there are some dim lines vertically... and it gets dimer and dimer when I go into some folders...
11:00:46trmssbut in some random moments it works properly... that's why I was suspicious about the hardware and tried out with original firmware...
11:02:15 Join PaulJam_ [0] (i=PaulJam_@vpn-3044.gwdg.de)

11:15:02LloreanYou said it can take a little bit to show up. how long did you spend in the original firmware, and did you do many things that trigger accesses to the disk?
11:19:10pixelmadoes the original firmware have backlight fade (settings)? I think it doesn't but believe Rockbox does
11:19:25pixelma(on the Ipod Mini I mean, of course)
11:22:28trmssLlorean: The dim just appears, not after a while... and specially if I enter into any folder... and I tried to the exact same actions in ipodos as well
11:23:03trmsspixelma: I can check if the original firmware has a setting like that... I didn't change any setting in that side actually but...
11:23:34pixelmaI believe backlight fade is enabled by default
11:24:11Lloreantrmss: How can you perform the "Exact same actions"?
11:24:22LloreanThe firmwares work entirely differently, load different things into RAM, access the disk at different times.
11:24:32LloreanThat's why I asked how long you spent in the OF, and about the general types of actions.
11:25:48trmsswell go into third level of folder and choose a file to play... in rockbox... not the "same" in that manner in OF but browse many folders and play songs in ipod as well...

11:26:56LloreanI asked how much time in the OF.
11:27:20LloreanI would recommend using the OF for several days regular use, just see if the problem takes a little longer to show up there, before ruling it out as a hardware issue.

16:44:00GodEaterCan you try going to the "Installation" tab, and choosing the second option "Install Rockbox" first.
16:44:03kugelso, is anyone opposed to adding the ability for plugins to go to the wps after exiting?

16:46:05kugelwhere-ever you left off the last time
16:46:07DONOof course heh.
16:46:25kugelit's the same thing as hitting the wps button in the filetree or mainmenu

16:46:44DONOi was a part time network admin. so , thats that. heh
16:46:46GodEaterDONO: well, in the manual (which I assume you've downloaded) there should be a link to ipodpatcher
16:47:37kugelin fact, it's absolutely the same code that starts the wps (it works by adding a new return value for plugins, which then sets the same variable to true as if you selected music or hit the wps button)
16:47:40linuxstbipodpatcher doesn't even need the command prompt - you can just double-click ipodpatcher.exe and follow the prompts.
16:48:05DONOahk beaudy , ill get back when thats done
16:48:20GodEaterlinuxstb: true, but some people get scared by that awful text only window :)
16:48:20kugelthe modifications are rather minimal, and it's just meant as a ability, no current plugin would actually do it until it's adapted
16:48:58gevaertskugel: I think I see what you want to achieve, and I think it's a valid usecase, but I'd hope that only one or two plugins would actually do that...
16:49:53kugelthe aim should be to either add a menu entry for the wps or react to the main wps button, and not to replace the default and current exit behavior
16:50:01GodEaterI'd only want the WPS after a plugin exited if I'd had music playing already when I started the plugin

16:52:59Torne1st-5.5th gen original ipods work
16:53:10DONOah righti , got it
16:53:46gevaertskugel: would that be unconditional? I think going to the WPS if you start playback from PF is perfectly reasonable, but going to the WPS if you just looked at PF from the plugin menu to see what it was about sounds wrong
16:53:56kugelalso, it's meant as an additional way of exiting. The return to plugin browse should always be the default behavior when pressing the dedicated quit button
16:54:34DONOive been mislead by the whole wording differently between 'ipod' & 'nano' .. considering its iPod Nano. lol
16:54:39kugelgevaerts: Why? That's how it works in the core too

16:55:21GodEaterDONO: how would you suggest we word it ?
16:55:59kugelyou can go to the wps in the core too without music playing, like you browse the unrelated .rockbox folder or themes, then you hit the wps button
16:56:15gevaertsah ok. I see what you mean now. Yes, that's perfectly reasonable
16:56:16kugelthis will start playback where you left off and get you to the wps
16:56:41Tornecan rbutil not tell people they're trying to install on an unsupported model?

16:58:13GodEaterI wish they'd settle on just one f***ing name
16:58:19DONOi wasnt sure if there was a 4th Gen and somehow Nano-Chromatic was different
16:58:24DONOso , thats why I was puzzled heh.
16:58:29GodEatersadly not
16:58:35GodEaterdaft name for it if you ask me though
16:58:43DONOyeah lol
16:58:46GodEatereven the 2nd gen Nano was available in multiple colours
16:59:05linuxstbThat doesn't seem the name of it, just an advertising slogan.
16:59:21GodEaterperhaps, but you could be forgiven for thinking it was the name
16:59:23gevaertskugel: I agree. Maybe it would also (in time) allow us to move more core stuff out to plugins if we ever want to
16:59:25GodEaterit's pretty big on the page
16:59:36linuxstbGodEater: Not really - everywhere else on the site simply refers to it as "ipod nano"
16:59:42Tornesrsly though, shouldn't the autodetection tell yuo that it's not supported? i thought rbutil knew all the USB ids
16:59:42DONOoh in Australia its spewed everywhere as CHROMATIC ..
16:59:55DONOso somehow i figured it was different to 4th Gen ._.
17:00
17:00:24gevaertsTorne: it should, but I'm not sure if all ids are in there
17:00:35Tornehm. theyr'e listed on the rbutil development wiki page
17:00:46gevaertsDONO: which version of rbutil did you use?
17:00:54Torneand if it wasn't listed surely it would've failed autodetection altogether?
17:00:56DONO1.2.1
17:01:16GodEaterDONO: we go off this page with our naming anyway : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1353
17:01:59kugelthis link should probably be pasted on a dozens of places on www.rockbox.org and rbutil
17:02:14Torneoh, hm. does it just invoke ipodpatcher?
17:02:14GodEaterperhaps
17:02:19DONOyeah thats the one i viewed and i saw 4th Gen and figured oh rockbox is supported , didnt realise theres a difference between 4th Gen Nano and 4th Gen iPod
17:02:34DONOBUT
17:02:41GodEateryes, they're inconsistent about what they call the ipod generations
17:02:48GodEaterthey call the 4th gen the "Click wheel" I think
17:02:48TorneDONO: there's not a particularly useful name to call the original ipod
17:02:54kugelyou saw the 4th gen but didn't see that it doesn't actually match your player?
17:02:57Torneyou can't call it the ipod classic because, er, apple have made a new thing called that ;)
17:03:07Torneso it's tricky to be specific about that
17:03:22GodEaterkugel: point to the "4th gen" on that page
17:03:25GodEaterthey don't list one
17:03:34GodEaterit's either the photo, or the click wheel
17:03:50DONOi just didnt see the difference in Nano & iPod considering its an iPod .. but now the message at the top of Rockbox's homepage makes sense hah
17:03:54n1sI agree that it would be nice if the installer told the user about an unsupported ipod since they are the most common to confuse
17:04:03kugeloh lol, sorry
17:04:16gevaertsapparently it warns about some of them, but not all
17:04:20linuxstbn1s: It should do, but it looks like rbutil doesn't have the USB IDs of all the newer Nanos, just one.

17:08:40n1ssaratoga: very sensible suggestion
17:09:01linuxstbTorne: I don't think ipodpatcher supports the new ipods in any way - rbutil detects them via usb IDs.
17:09:03Torneexcept that won't work so well on a mac
17:09:07Torne"apple mouse"
17:09:09Torne"apple keyboard"
17:09:10Torneetc
17:09:10Torne:)
17:09:11DONOLook what ive done. lol
17:09:23TorneDONO: hey it's good to know these things
17:09:36Torneit's theoretically possible for rbutil to have told you that your ipod is not supported, and it didn't
17:09:42Torneso, maybe someone should fix that
17:09:51Tornethen the next guy won't have to come ask us
17:09:52Torne:)
17:10:01GodEaterMr Someone already has a large todo list
17:10:12TorneThere is that
17:10:12DONOheh i see , saratoga's idea seems ideal
17:10:24n1sall the different ipod PIDs seem to start with 12 so maybe other apple usb stuff use other starting digits of the pid?
17:10:29Tornei dunno. you would at least want to make sure it was mass storage.
17:10:46GodEaterI agree
17:10:55GodEatergoing with all Apple Id's isn't quite the right idea
17:11:04n1sor we could rely on the users knowing what ipod they have ;)
17:11:07Tornejust doing the list on the wiki would be a good start
17:11:12GodEatern1s: epic fail
17:11:23n1sGodEater: evidently so :D
17:11:26GodEaterhehe
17:11:45n1sif anybody patches and builds rbutil i can test with my 4g nano
17:13:11saratogadoes rbutil fail to detect a supported player if an unsupported one is also attached?
17:13:24n1sno idea
17:13:31GodEaterdon't think anyone's tested that
17:13:59saratogathe logic looks as if it might
17:15:24pixelma2hmm... pf seems to be crashing now on hwcodec - and it also won't be able to start playback the way it is now
17:15:57kugel:(
17:16:17kugelpixelma2: when does it crash?
17:17:52pixelma2a very short time after entering. It shows the first "screen" with the covers and then freezes. I'm not able to move left or right or go to the menu. If I press "off" now, Rockbox crashes completely and reboots
17:18:38kugelI pretty much only touched code which is used after entering the track list
17:18:40*n1s is very confused, the usbids in DeviceDetection for the ipods do not match those in rbutli.ini very well, the one the wiki states is for the classic rbutil uses for video, same with first/second gen nano...

17:26:45n1swell it seems weird to me, the 2g nano is incompatible with rockbox, it doesn't really matter that it is incompatible with the 1g nano
17:27:12Torneyah, but i mean the ini file is structured around models that *are* supported
17:27:15n1safaiu but maybe rbutil has some thing that relies on this so i'll not touch it
17:27:17Tornethere aren't seperate entries for things that don't work
17:27:30pixelmakugel: unfortunately testing on Ondio is always a bit tedious because unpacking a build takes ages :\ and if the plugin API changed I at least need the new firmware file and pictureflow.rock
17:27:40Torneso the entries are "this is the install config for ipod, except this usb id which is unsupported"
17:27:50n1sTorne: so it should get such a list imo
17:27:55Torneexcept it's complicated by there being lots of ipods
17:27:58Tornewell, perhaps
17:28:58funmanbertrik: I have seen Clipv2 1GB at 35€ here in Dijon
17:29:32n1swe could even create entries with names for them so rbutil could print "this is a fourth generation ipod nano which is not supported ny rockbox" instead of "unsupported ipod" or w.e.
17:29:56Tornewell, that sounds like a plan, but i have no idea how rbutil works
17:30:15*n1s neither
17:30:31n1sand the two guys working on it are not around
17:30:34Torneheh.
17:30:43Lloreankugel: I was wrong about Next/Prev working in-list on the S it seems. I could've sworn I'd used the dedicated buttons there, but it seems they don't work there (yet, they aren't mapped to anything and so should be mapped to it in the same way as the dedicated volume buttons are, and since it sounds like you're using the list context for the plugin anyway, I guess it shouldn't really affect you)
17:30:44saratogan1s: you want to add more usbids to rbutil?
17:30:56funmanIf only we had some way to contact them, like a developers mailing list ..
17:31:15Tornesaratoga: we're thinking it should at least include all the known ids for ipods, specifically so it can tell people that unsupported models aren't supported
17:31:29Tornemaybe saving some of the frequent questions :)
17:31:29n1ssaratoga: sounds liek the easiest way to tell users that their ipods are not supported reliably
17:31:49LloreanI thought RBUtil already tells you when you're using a newer-generation iPod
17:32:09linuxstbLlorean: It does for some, but apparently not all.
17:32:09n1sLlorean: only classic and 2g nano from what i can tell

17:39:30pixelma2so I can't test what it really does without the tracklist...

21:13:38bertrikthe weird thing is that the current delay in the fmradio i2c layer should already be long enough, so I can't explain either that it increasing the delay seems to make things work for some people

21:18:37kugelsaratoga: interesting question
21:18:54kugelThat reminds me that F/X don't have unboosting as well
21:19:04kugeland they have a quite similar processor
21:20:12kugelthough, they implemted a cpu_set_frequency() which does the same as our (switch to fastbus)
21:20:20 Quit PaulJam (No route to host)
21:20:33kugelapparently, at some point, unboosting was disabled, for some reason
21:20:54kugelmaybe kkurbjun or jhMikeS knows more
21:21:03saratogait didn't seem to make a difference
21:21:20saratogai think the chip has some sort of internal clock control that was as good as boosting, or something like that
21:21:34bertrikhm, the radio still works even when boosted with the 192_32_32_dcache patch on my clip
21:21:34kugelI'd think our chip has this as well
21:21:47saratogai don't think so

21:22:04kugelwouldn't that be a cpu feature?

21:26:04gevaertsBoth of mine do 20+ hours. I got them on ebay, so I don't know if they have non-stock batteries
21:26:11saratogasignficantly worse then PP Ipods, and PP is crap
21:26:30martian67saratoga, i dont find that :)
21:26:52martian67if you mean that battery time is significantly worse
21:27:01martian67that was the case at one time :/
21:27:27saratogaregarding AMS, maybe the best way to debug the MMU would be to disable radio, boosting, etc and focus on just getting it working at one clock
21:27:32saratogathen enable more features once we have that
21:27:40kugelthat seems like a good idea
21:27:43saratogai feel like development is chasing 10 different bugs at once and getting no where
21:28:01saratogait seems very likely we have additional driver bugs which are just now being exposed
21:28:28saratogabut i have done no work so what do i know
21:30:15kugelsaratoga: I see only patched benches (with 24MHz etc) from Buschel. I don't think the ipod is much better
21:30:20funmanMMU itself works very fine.
21:30:34funmanThe problems come with caches, especially the data cache
21:30:50*LambdaCalculus37 is glad to hear FM radio working on the GoGear HDD6330
21:31:04bertrikLambdaCalculus37, is that a first?
21:31:16funmanWe don't use the MMU in SVN because then rockbox would be much slower, because of the disabled caches
21:32:59LambdaCalculus37bertrik: No, it just confirms that the hardware is the same as in the HDD1630.
21:34:27bertrikfunman, and the dcache problem manifests itself mainly when using dma?
21:35:14saratogakugel: buschel's test should be very close to stock SVN, 24MHz clock probably adds an hour or so
21:36:06kugelfunman: the dcache isn't enabled, so only the icache would make a difference
21:36:06funmanbertrik: yes, we should check what happens when using simple transfers from the SD fifo.
21:36:17kugelwhy's the icache not functioning with mmu?
21:36:45funmanthe icache functions "better" with cached memory.
21:37:00funmansince it's enabled i suppose it works fine
21:37:13kugelI mean, if we enable at least the mmu in svn, in theory, we shouldn't be slower?
21:37:15bertrikfunman, yes I would like to see how it behaves with just one DMA active (only PCM)
21:37:35funmankugel: perhaps virtual address translation takes more cycles to complete
21:37:40kugelI once enabled only the MMU and I had the same poor speed as when i disabled the icache

22:28:40bertrikI added a map_section(0, 0, 4096, CACHE_NONE); to set a default non-cached linear mapping for all memory before mapping all of the other specific ranges
22:29:55bertrikI mean that helped to get display working again

22:32:41onlysoaaI have a P2, and it has hardware similar to the D2, so I'm using the D2 port as a base. Not sure how to proceed though.

22:33:32bertriktest_disk only reads and should be relatively safe, right?
22:34:21funmantest_disk writes 300MB of data and then reads it back. It should be as safe as current SVN, except that it may break the filesystem
22:34:50Unhelpfulpixelma: that's very odd, as the album list config on pretty much everything but m3 maps BUTTON_RIGHT,BUTTON_NONE to PF_NEXT, BUTTON_RIGHT|BUTTON_REPEAT,BUTTON_NONE to PF_NEXT_REPEAT, and makes sure that BUTTON_RIGHT|BUTTON_REL and BUTTON_RIGHT|BUTTON_REPEAT with precondition BUTTON_NONE both map to ACTION_NONE.
22:35:21Unhelpfuldoes the same thing happen on ondio sim? might at least be able to trace how it matches the wrong mapping, then.
22:36:04funmanbertrik: the call was there in my 12th may patch, and absent in my 27th may patch :/
22:38:42funmanClip: test passed.
22:38:49bertrikBTW, do you know a way to disable database refresh on the clip?

22:58:43pixelmaUnhelpful: haven't investigated further as I didn't have much time and concentrated on the crash. Revision 20800 worked and 21000 didn't (I know not much yet) so my gut feeling it that it has something to do with jpg and/or restructuring as overlay plugin

23:02:01bertrikfunman, not sure what I'm testing right now ... I took the patch, added the default linear uncached MMU mapping, edited ata_sd_as3525 to use the uncached buffer

23:02:29Unhelpfulshould action_get_touchscreen_press go with touchscreen_set_mode or with the other action/button stuff?

23:32:50mcuelenaerethat's what I'm trying to do:)
23:33:32Unhelpfuli believe there are two calls to in, both in create_track_index - one to initially force all free space out of the buflib buffer, the second to do so again after freeing a slide, if the track index runs out of space.
