#rockbox log for 2009-06-24

00:00:53notlisteningjust an idea though
00:01:02 Part CaptainKwel_
00:01:25notlisteningseen it implemented else wwhere and it was useful but that device did not have speech feedback

00:10:17notlisteningdomonoky, can you direct me to the place on the wiki where it instructs you to make you own voice menu files as i want to try and test the encoder independently from rbutil
00:11:01domonokyhttp://www.rockbox.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/VoiceBuilding
00:12:26domonokyyou have to edit voice.pl and maybe configure to add your tts engine before, ofcourse :-)
00:13:49notlisteningthanks it was just to test the encoder as it is failing and wanted to get the output on the command line from the encoder on the files tthat are failing
00:14:32domonokydid you check if the wavfile really is created ?
00:14:59notlisteningyup wav file is created with correct fileame and contents
00:15:18notlisteningand the .talk file is created but from there i am a little bit stumped
00:15:53notlisteningchanging the remove extension option also stops it from failing :P

00:26:56CIA-71New commit by bagder (r21481): support sdl as arch, and make "lethal" errors stop the looping in runclient.sh
00:30:12rasherBagder: probably should have scrubbed runclient.sh
00:30:21Bagderoh
00:30:22Bagderhaha
00:30:24Bagderme fix
00:30:36saratogai've still got that running from the other day, do i need to restart if i want to be available to test?
00:30:58Bagderno, it still participates fine when I start the server
00:31:22CIA-71New commit by bagder (r21482): eeek, clear off my dummy data
00:31:54Bagderbut now we can add 'sdl' as arch as well
00:31:58 Quit AlexP (Read error: 110 (Connection timed out))
00:32:11Bagderand it would be nice with a few clients having that enabled
00:32:18*gevaerts updates
00:34:21gevaertsBagder: rb.hostname.be should now have sdl as well
00:34:27Bagderthanks
00:34:44BagderI started one myself too and it has sdl as well
00:34:46gevaertsand a different password. I hope you don't check that yet
00:34:59Bagdernope
00:43:46JdGordon|Bagder: if you want another client feel free to use rbclient's account on my comp to do whatever you want with...
00:44:26Bagderthanks, I'll give that a go tomorrow or so
00:45:09Bagderhaving 9 new clients still is slower than the 20+ running in the old system ... :-)
00:45:27JdGordon|cut down the amount of builds to run?
00:45:33JdGordon|duh :p
00:45:34Bagderyeah, I'll do that
00:45:39linuxstbRemove all ipods...
00:46:05Bagderbut with sdl just added, it'll be great to see a full run complete first

00:54:27Mikachuhm, vmware image downloads have stayed fairly constant from me, around 40-50 unique ips per month
00:54:49scorche|shspeaking of, when i get back, i should probably try to get the new one down in size and replace it..
00:55:02Mikachumake sure you let me know so i can update mine
00:55:27fenugrecI formatted my Fuze (form the OF), compiled a bootloader, copied fuzeA.bin, extract rockbox-full.zip to the fuze ; on bootup Rockbox show but says "loading firmware... file not found"
00:55:27Mikachuit's from february '07 (the file timestamp) :)
00:55:36fenugrecThis is with SVN 21478
00:56:45fenugrecwhat's missing ?
00:59:51 Quit robin0800 ("Leaving")
01:00
01:00:06fenugrecwould running fsck.vfat from linux check more things than chkdsk.exe on windows ?
01:01:36Tornenot particularly.
01:01:45Tornei couldn't tell you they were definately equivalent
01:01:53Tornebut i'd be stunned if there was much in it.
01:01:59 Join robin0800 [0] (n=robin080@cpc3-brig8-0-0-cust436.brig.cable.ntl.com)
01:02:07TorneFAT is just not that complicated, there's only a small number of well-understood things to check
01:02:50Torneit wouldn't hurt though if you had a linux box around
01:02:59fenugrecI'd have to reboot, is all
01:03:31fenugrecfor some reason I can't remember, I'm compiling Rockbox from colinux under winXP ...
01:03:43Mikachufsck.vfat is very bad
01:03:53Tornechkdsk in NT-based windows is a perfectly good check, anyway.
01:04:01Torneunlike old chkdsk :)
01:04:04Mikachuwhen you have errors and run it once and fix everything, running it again still finds errors
01:04:14Mikachulast time i had to run it three times
01:04:33TorneMikachu: oh, it's just not very bright about how it checks, some problems mask other problems and it dosn't re-evaluate it
01:04:47Torneif you run it until it says it's ok it's probably just as good
01:04:57Mikachuvery trustworthy :)
01:05:16fenugrecok... but I guess there probably was no problem since it was freshly formatted, and chkdsk didn't find a thing
01:05:23fenugrecso what could the problem be ?
01:05:57Torneunfortunately i know nothing about how the fuze boots so i can't really help you there :)
01:07:49fenugrechmmmmm
01:07:57fenugrecit's not the most descriptive of error messages, either
01:08:47Tornepresumably it's the rockbox bootloader printing that, so it's gotten that far at leat
01:09:02fenugrecindeed, and I can still boot to the OF
01:09:07fenugrecso I'm not bricked yet
01:09:10Torneso it must be the main rockbox binary it
01:09:13Torneit's unable to load.
01:09:35fenugrecit's the third bootloader + rockbox build I do, and the first to fail... I just don't understand
01:10:16fenugrecI notice there's a file, .rockbox/bootlader-fuze.sansa
01:10:24Mikachuthe others were on other devices?
01:10:25fenugrecisn't that redundant ?
01:10:32fenugrecNo, this same Fuze
01:10:35 Quit at0m (Read error: 60 (Operation timed out))
01:10:37gevaertsdid you run make clean properly?
01:10:44fenugrecyes
01:10:59fenugrecstarted a new build/ directory as well
01:11:19rasherMaybe you can just use an older bootloader?
01:11:23Torneis this based on significantly newer code than last time? :)
01:11:49fenugrectotally too late, I dont' have any of the older ones. I'd have to revert to a previous code revision
01:12:06Tornehow old was your previous revision, though? :)
01:12:24fenugrechm, was around 211xx
01:12:31fenugreca few weeks
01:12:37rasherThen it's not really too late, is it? Honestly though, I don't know anything about the Fuze, so maybe you do need an updated bootloader.
01:13:09fenugrecyes, I was trying with a fresh-built BL from 21478
01:13:49Tornetry the release bootloader? or the new bootloader with a release build?
01:14:04gevaertsfenugrec: I definitely don't have a .rockbox/bootlader-fuze.sansa file on a fresh build
01:14:04fenugrecFuze isn't released yet I fear
01:14:13fenugrec!!
01:14:17gevaertsr21463
01:14:17Torneah. too many platforms for me to keep track :)
01:14:41fenugrecok, maybe my SVN tree is hosed
01:14:48*gevaerts tests some more
01:15:13fenugrecgevaerts: do you run tools/configure after building the bootloader and before running "make zip" / fullzip ?
01:15:30gevaertsyes
01:15:42gevaertsif you don't, you get a bootloader build
01:15:46Torneare you using the same build directory for bootloader and regular?
01:15:49fenugrecas I thought
01:15:50Tornemaybe you shouldn't? :)
01:16:07fenugrecTorne: maybe not, but it "used" to work
01:16:15gevaertsif I run make zip in a bootloader dir, I do get a rockbox.zip that has .rockbox/bootlader-fuze.sansa in it
01:16:16Tornewell yah, but makefils change
01:16:28Torneand it's harder to make a mistake that way
01:16:47Torneand i can't think of a reason *not* to use two build directoryes :)
01:16:50fenugrecinteresting
01:17:29gevaertsfenugrec: try make clean again and configure again. I suspect that you accidentally made a bootloader build instead of a normal build
01:17:39fenugrecthe only reason to use one build directory is "not knowing any better", hehe..
01:18:23Torne:)
01:18:30fenugrecgevaerts: that's probably what happened on my first try, but I'm sure I did a Normal on the last try. I'll try two build directories right away.
01:18:44fenugrecdoes configure affect anything outside the build/ directory ?
01:18:54fenugreci.e. taint the source tree
01:18:58gevaertsfenugrec: it's also always a good idea to check if make clean did indeed clean up things
01:18:59rasherNo.
01:19:11Torneconfigure doesn't, make does but only under tools which should be the same for both
01:19:19fenugrecok

01:20:45fenugrecGoodness, are we already at #21482 ?
01:21:09Tornezagor keeps changing the new build system :)
01:23:08fenugrec"cat: rockbox/buildRB/apps/features: No such file or directory" (this is during "make fullzip")
01:23:37fenugrecbut I do get the rockbox-full.zip file
01:23:43gevaertsyou're still doing a bootloader build
01:24:21fenugrecgevaerts: possible, but if so there's a problem : I'm using two different build dirs, and I re-run configure
01:24:36gevaertswhich files do you have left after make clean?
01:24:39fenugrecof course specifying a (N)ormal build

01:25:47fenugrec(last file is the one I created with mkamsboot)
01:26:04gevaertsok. Have a look at Makefile in both. Do they have -DBOOTLOADER in EXTRA_DEFINES?
01:26:51fenugrecBL/Makefile : yes RB/Makefile : no (EXTRA_DEFINES is empty)
01:27:53gevaertsDo you have a bootloader-fuze.sansa in RB after running make there?
01:28:06fenugrecno

01:29:46gevaertsDo you have rockbox.sansa there?

01:30:59gevaertsdid you run make there like I asked?
01:31:07fenugrecjust did
01:31:19fenugrecrather, I ran "make fullzip"
01:31:21fenugrecnot "make"
01:31:27gevaertsthat's *not* the same
01:31:41fenugrecok, take 2
01:35:03fenugrecomg, rockbox.sansa == rockbox OS
01:35:09fenugrecthat would be a problem, not having it
01:37:45fenugrecwell, it works now
01:38:17gevaertsgood :)
01:38:35fenugrecthanks for your time guys.
01:39:00fenugrecWould it be a nice thing to have the fullzip target depend on "make"
01:39:16rasherThere's some reason it doesn't. I don't remember it
01:39:18gevaertsthis has been debated several times
01:39:25fenugrecI probably won't be the last clueless user to forget
01:39:36fenugrecah, ok
01:39:55Mikachuyou can run "make all fullzip"
01:40:03gevaertspeople want to be able to run make zip if some plugins failed. This is pretty important when doing big all-over-the-place changes or new ports
01:40:44fenugrecbut if fullzip depends on 'all', you can run "make all zip" if you want..

11:00:30linuxstbI would say post it to a flyspray task (as a patch), and try and start a discussion there about how that (and similar libraries) could be incorporated into Rockbox.
11:01:33linuxstbMaybe we should have something like .rockbox/lua/ where such files can live?
11:02:34daurnwell in the standard lua interpreter, it looks for lua libs in /usr/local/share/lua/VERSION/...
11:02:35GodEaterwell we already have "actions.lua" living in the viewers directory
11:03:00linuxstbGodEater: That could be moved then. I don't think having lots of .lua files there is nice.
11:03:07GodEaternor I
11:03:21linuxstbSomething for MrSomeone...
11:04:10linuxstbdaurn: Are you suggesting we add a lua/VERSION/ hierarchy?
11:05:06*GodEater suspects we're unlikely to have multiple versions of the lua interpreter available at one time

11:14:38daurnha
11:14:46lucentonly seems to happen with some files and not others

11:15:55lucentoh okay
11:17:16lucentfunman: know by-chance if the other sansas (c200 or e200) are any more stable under rockbox? I'm not freaking about my fuze, it works well enough and I'm happy...

11:39:15mtYes I saw it.

11:41:37mtanyway, if it's a replacement, I'll have to modify it a little because it misses out some files.
11:43:07daurnso
11:43:31daurnwho can tell me why the whole of rockbox seg faults when you loadfile a file that doesn't exist with lua
11:43:36mtlinuxstb : Is it common to have sim vs target problems like the current one ?
11:44:00funmandaurn: segfault means data abort ?
11:44:24daurnsegfault meanign the simulator quits with "Segmentation fault"
11:44:28linuxstbdaurn: Because there's a bug in Rockbox's lua interpreter...
11:44:46*linuxstb doesn't know what answer daurn was looking for
11:45:37daurni guess I just don't understand how rockbox works; its not normal for the whole o/s to crash when one app - an interpreted one at that - tries to open a file
11:45:59linuxstbmt: Yes. For example, the sim manages memory differently, so if you're overwriting something you may not notice in the sim, but you do on target.
11:46:24funmandaurn: the simulator is special
11:46:52linuxstbdaurn: The sim _is_ one app, and Windows/Linux/etc is the OS. Does your OS crash?
11:47:13linuxstbAnd on target, there's no memory protection, so yes, one part of Rockbox can bring everything down.
11:48:03daurnok :)
11:48:42daurnhow can I debug (print to sim console)?
11:49:00funmanif the simulator segfaults you should use gdb
11:49:06linuxstbIn C or in lua?
11:49:14daurnC first, then tell me about lua
11:49:29linuxstbYou use the DEBUGF() macro, which works like the C printf() function.
11:49:57linuxstbAnd I don't know about lua...
11:51:08linuxstbDoes that dofile function work if the file exists?

12:49:31Grahackdo you plan to expose button codes to lua ?
12:50:21mcuelenaereGrahack: it isn't technically difficult to do that, but I don't really see a point in doing so
12:50:33mcuelenaerehow is a script going to know which buttons it must use?
12:50:34 Quit markun (Read error: 104 (Connection reset by peer))
12:50:38mcuelenaerethey differ in naming across targets
12:51:09Grahackbut could lua.make be aware of the target ?
12:51:16Tornemcuelenaere: this is true but the actions are somewhat useless on some targets
12:51:22Tornee.g. ipod where select and right are the same action
12:51:38 Join markun [50] (n=markun@rockbox/developer/markun)
12:51:46Torneso it seems like totally avoiding target specific stuff in nontrivial lua scripts is unlikely anyway :)
12:51:56mcuelenaereGrahack: what do you mean?
12:51:58mcuelenaereTorne: hmm true
12:52:27mcuelenaerelast time I asked about this, the general opinion was 'actions are the way to go'
12:52:28GrahackI see $(TARGET) in lua.make, we could write a button_helper.pl that could create a lua table if we tellhim which file to process
12:52:46Tornemcuelenaere: oh, it is, if what you're writing can make do with them
12:52:53GodEaterGrahack: well volunteered
12:52:54mcuelenaereGrahack: that's what I planned in doing if we were going to do this
12:53:05Tornebut if you're writing a game and you want "up down left right select" that's not easy to do with the action lib
12:53:20Unhelpfulbeing able to use get_custom_action would be nice if you want to do games and the like :)
12:53:23Grahackspacerocks couldn't work only with actions...
12:53:41Tornei guess there could be an argument for having actionlib support several sets of bindings, as it were, actually
12:53:52Torneatm it tries to reflect the standard usage of each button in the main rockbox ui
12:54:03mcuelenaereUnhelpful: get_custom_action requires a C callback, which isn't easy to implement in Lua
12:54:09Tornebut maybe you could have a "game mode" or similar where it tried to give you direction buttons instead, or similar
12:54:15GrahackI'm not a perl expert so I talked about this to aperl-friend, we could work on this a bit
12:54:40Grahackgenerating a lua table with target specific button codes
12:54:55mcuelenaereGrahack: it isn't really difficult, I thought regex'ing button-target.h for BUTTON_* lines and then preprocessing it would do the job
12:55:04mcuelenaerea bit like action_helper.pl currently does
12:55:30Tornemcuelenaere: probably close enough
12:55:42Grahackok so we're looking in the samedirection, great
12:55:43Torneyou'll pick up things like BUTTON_MAIN BUTTON_REMOTE that way but that's probably a feature :)
12:55:49Unhelpfulmcuelenaere: a fixed callback wouldn't be that difficult, though, maybe something along the lines of the way pictureflow does it - there's a table of action contexts, and it just strips the flags from the context and indexes the table.
12:55:56mcuelenaereTorne: heh, we could filter that out :)
12:56:06Torneyah, but it might be good actually :)
12:56:20Grahackthe second question is: would it be niceto rename actions.lua to constants.lu if it contains actions, contexts and button codes ?
12:56:24Tornethough actually evaluating their values might be fiddly
12:56:33Unhelpfuli don't think doing the callback in lua is needed... i agree it sounds awful to have to do :)
12:57:06mcuelenaereGrahack: I'm not sure whether we should split that or put it in one big file
12:57:13mcuelenaereremember, these targets don't have much RAM
12:57:30mcuelenaerethe less files we would need to include, the better
12:57:47Torne..wait, what i was describing above is what pluginlib_actions already does, mostly :)
12:58:05mcuelenaereTorne: wasn't pluginlib going to be deprecated?
12:58:11Tornepossibly
12:58:19*mcuelenaere thought we should try to move away from it as much as possible
12:58:54Unhelpfulif you want up/down/left/right *and* some other actions you'll need to combine, and then it all falls apart (with PLA)
12:59:20Tornemaybe we just need a better design for PLA that lets you combine things to some degree
12:59:41mcuelenaerehmm so basically, Lua scripts will need to behave the same as C plugins and (runtime) check what keys are available and use those
12:59:53mcuelenaereTorne: pluginlib isn't exposed to Lua (yet)
13:00
13:00:15Tornemcuelenaere: sure, but i can't see it being particuarly hard to do :)
13:00:18Torneit's just a suggestion
13:00:33TornePLA is not a universal solution, anyway
13:00:45daurnmcuelenaere: hey
13:00:49Torneultimately some script somewhere is going to want raw buttons
13:00:59Tornebut then it's gonna just have to runtime decide what target it's on
13:01:02mcuelenaeremm yes, probably
13:01:04mcuelenaeredaurn: hi
13:01:15Tornes;not really enough to just detect what buttons exist because that ells you nothing baout their physical placements
13:01:28Torneyou'll end up doing the equivalent of the ifdef pile that C plugins do ;)
13:01:30Tornebut at runtime
13:02:02*mcuelenaere wonders whether the script should decide what keys to use based on the player (eg new constant) or based on what keys are available
13:02:15Tornebased on player, almost certainly
13:02:30Unhelpfulexpose PLA in lua, or pluginlib in general? that could be problematic as we'd need to decide what pluginlib functions we want linked into the interpreter...
13:02:33daurnmcuelenaere: I wrapped file operations with a more lua-like syntax
13:02:38Tornehow else is it going to know that on ipods, BUTTON_MENU and BUTTON_PLAY are th ebest choices for up and down in 4-way controls? :)
13:02:41daurnmcuelenaere: though you might want to implement it in C
13:02:54mcuelenaeredaurn: I saw that, and I'm trying to mimic it in C using IO lib
13:03:12daurnmcuelenaere: newer: http://pastey.net/116606
13:03:22TorneUnhelpful: add stuff as people request it probably ;)
13:03:28mcuelenaeredaurn: ah, thx
13:03:33GodEaterperhaps we need aliases for buttons too ?
13:03:45TorneGodEater: isn't that more or less what PLA *is*? :)
13:03:51Tornea bunch of alias mappings
13:03:59Tornes'just not a very flexible one
13:04:01GodEaterhehe - I guess so
13:04:06daurnmcuelenaere: I'm sure you can thing of a better userdata object, I just used what first came to mind
13:04:08*mcuelenaere should look into how PLA works
13:04:09*GodEater shall further engage brain before speaking again
13:04:48mcuelenaeredaurn: I'm not really familiar with Lua, but I'll just port the Lua IO lib using Rockbox's file functions
13:04:48Tornemcuelenaere: it's just a bunch of get_custom_action tables
13:04:59mcuelenaereso a lot of C callbacks?
13:05:14Tornemcuelenaere: the plugin picks which tables it's interested in and a priority order for them and passes it over
13:05:17Tornejust one callback
13:05:30Tornethe code is really short, not hard to understand :)
13:05:48*mcuelenaere doesn't spot a callback

13:09:03 Join n1s [0] (n=n1s@rockbox/developer/n1s)
13:10:31mcuelenaereTorne: never mind, I think I understand how PLA works
13:10:51Torneit's just a convenience wrapper for rb->get_custom_action to save you writing your own callback
13:10:59Torneand a set of mapping tables that might be useful
13:11:34mcuelenaereyes, so I don't see why you should do that rb->get_custom_action() call in your code; just use pluginlib_getaction() and it works
13:11:36UnhelpfulTorne: a general-purpose callback, and the ability to define tables from your script, would be nice.
13:12:17Tornemcuelenaere: hm? i didn't sya you did..
13:12:40Grahackall this is beyond my knowledge... would it mean dropping the lua actions table ?
13:13:36TorneGrahack: at the moment lua calls the default get_action which uses rockbox's standard set of action mappings
13:13:37mcuelenaereGrahack: no, it would mean adding some extra Lua functions
13:14:09mcuelenaerealso, BUTTON_* constants will probably get added
13:14:11TorneGrahack: there's also other sets of action mappings in PLA which you can use instead of the default mappings, which will solve the problem you had of select and right not being distinguishable on the ipod, but may introduce other problems ;)
13:15:12Torneyah, either way you'd want to add the BUTTON_* stuff as well
13:15:24Grahackand would it be possible (or maybe it's already the case) to expose the platform to lua, like rb.target = "iPod Video" for example ?
13:15:31Tornefor lua scripts that are willing to take the awkwardness of having to make it target-specific to get flexible button config
13:17:15TorneGrahack: yah, that would be required to make BUTTON_* useful
13:17:20UnhelpfulTorne: presumably they can include a second script in a platform-dependent way?
13:17:29TorneUnhelpful: yes, that'd work nicely
13:17:33Tornesaves memory
13:17:49daurnI wouldn't recommend that
13:18:04Tornehm?
13:18:13daurnall you need is all the button state exposed in a table
13:18:29daurnand make a lua function/library that does it all for you
13:18:31mcuelenaereGrahack: I don't think using strings is a good way to define targets
13:19:00daurnso have the standard buttons; and whatever target you're running on has extra keys in the tabel
13:19:03Tornedaurn: the point is that for button_get to be *useful* you need to know what target you are on
13:19:04Grahackor anything else! what could it be ?
13:19:10Tornebecause otherwise you don't know what button to map to what
13:19:30 Join funman [0] (n=fun@rockbox/developer/funman)
13:19:38daurnTorne: I'm saying that you can abstract that away ==> know the actual target that is
13:19:46Tornethat's what pluginlib_actions does
13:19:52Unhelpful...badly. :/
13:19:54Tornebut the point is that it's not sufficient for every purpose
13:19:56daurnand just check for buttons.left and buttons.up and buttons.right etc
13:20:09Tornedaurn: yes. that's exactly what pluginlib_actions already does.
13:20:11daurnand if you have all of them; have one control set
13:20:16Unhelpfuldaurn: not really, the layout is important.
13:20:19Tornebut if you want a configuration that PLA doesn't have, it's tough.
13:21:26daurnalso, I haven't looked at the lua api yet
13:21:33Torneit doesn't matter what the lua api is, to be honest
13:21:33daurnbut can you play/pause/etc?

13:25:39Tornewheras if they just do nothing or similar people may wonder why it's not working
13:26:06TorneBoogerhead: settings -> database -> update now, if my memory serves
13:26:15daurnfor most things, I agree; but we're talking about stdin and stdout here: its not obvious that rockbox doesn't have those things?
13:26:19 Quit nibbler_ (Remote closed the connection)
13:26:20GodEateror the context menu for the database entry will do it too
13:26:42Tornedaurn: i'm not sure why that's an argument for not removing them
13:26:51Boogerheadtorne: thanks .. settings: general: database ... thanks! =)
13:26:59Grahackmcuelenaere, so ok there are some issues that are beyond my knowledge... I'll try to implement what I need in the math lib in pure lua
13:27:11daurnTorne: remove stdin, stdout should be replaced by something where you can read it still
13:27:47Tornedaurn: yes. I said that was a good idea. I said remove things which are *not implemented*
13:27:55Torneif you make stdout go to a file then it's implemented :)
13:28:07mcuelenaereGrahack: there are some fixed-point math functions, see apps/plugins/lib/fixedpoint.c, they just aren't wrapped in Lua yet
13:28:16 Quit Boogerhead (Client Quit)
13:28:47TorneGrahack: what actual math functions are you after?
13:29:14Grahackmin, max, trigo
13:29:38Grahack(ok min and max are easy :-D)
13:29:47daurnoh, theres no math lib?
13:30:18Torneyou'll need the fixed point library for trig
13:30:26Torneotherwise everythhing is going to return 0 or 1 a lot :)
13:30:43Tornethe lua math lib implementations won't work because we're using ints
13:30:50Grahackdaurn: mcuelenaere said "not all functions have C equivalents in Rockbox. You do know there's no floating point, right?", I'm not sure (and maybe don't want yet) to understand this fully
13:31:05TorneGrahack: lua's numbers are all whole numbers, in rockbox
13:31:16Tornethere's no such thing as 0.1 for your script
13:31:21Torneso, trig is difficult. :)
13:31:40Grahackso that's why I can't splash for a non-whole duration
13:31:43Torne3/2 == 1
13:31:48TorneIndeed :)
13:31:50 Nick J-23 is now known as pciupak (n=zelazko@unix.net.pl)
13:31:57Tornedivision will just truncate the result
13:31:59 Nick pciupak is now known as J-23 (n=zelazko@unix.net.pl)
13:32:03*mcuelenaere thought this was explained in the manual
13:32:03Torneso 1/2 is 0
13:32:23Torneso that's why we can't just provide the lua math library easily
13:32:43Tornewe'd have to implement it in terms of fixed-point arithmetic instead, and you would have to have your script deal in fixed point and convert to/from integer as needed.
13:33:13daurnthere is already lua fixed point math libraries I'm pretty sure
13:33:42Grahackmcuelenaere: sorry I read the RB manual thorougly but don't remember this one
13:33:42Tornedaurn: yes, but you wouldn't want to use them
13:33:50Torneyou'd want to wrap our C fixed point math library up :)
13:33:52Tornefaster
13:34:09mcuelenaereGrahack: it is mentioned in the Lua plugin description, but if you don't know what floating point means you've probably missed it :)

13:36:27daurnI thought you just tell it you don't want to use floating point, and it fixes everything for you
13:36:34daurn(and you don't have to get rid of the math lib)
13:36:53Grahackok in fact I didn't even think about reading the manual here: http://download.rockbox.org/manual/rockbox-ipodvideo/rockbox-buildch11.html#x14-23700011.3.4
13:37:01Grahackwhere it's explained

13:38:07Grahackthanks guys for everything, bye
13:38:12 Quit Grahack ("Leaving.")
13:38:29Tornedaurn: i think the math library still "works" when lua numbers are ints, but only for the minimal definitoin of works
13:38:36Tornei.e. things like sin() will jus tend up returning 0 or 1
13:38:45Tornei don't think the math library code actually adapts to deal with it
13:38:50daurnmcuelenaere: can you enable the math lib?
13:39:00*mcuelenaere tries
13:39:26Tornebut things like math.abs or math.min should work
13:39:40daurnTorne: yeah, possibly
13:39:46Torneactually having it return fixedpoint would be an API change
13:39:54Tornesince fixed point numbers actually mean something different
13:39:58daurnbut alot of code uses math.floor :)
13:39:59Tornewhereas float/int is just a rounding thing :)
13:40:19Tornewell again math.floor might Just Work
13:40:21Tornedepends how it's implemented
13:40:28Torneit would do nothing, but that's correct :)
13:40:34daurnwell, with ints, you don't even do anything :
13:40:50Torneyah, but it may not be implemented that way :0

13:43:10daurnmcuelenaere: see that page mcuelenaere, its a library to get lua to work with non floating point numbers :)
13:43:41Tornedaurn: i don't think it help swith math
13:43:45Torneand you can already make lua use int trivially
13:43:51Tornei think LNUM is just for using other types
13:43:59Tornelike single-precision float, or unsigned int, or so on :)
13:44:27Torneooh, or complex numbers. that's kind of cool. :)

13:48:06mcuelenaeredaurn: Rockbox's printf() functions don't support %f/%g/..
13:48:18mcuelenaereand Lua floating point (including this patch) depends on that
13:49:25daurnand that can't be changed/fixed implemented I take it? (or without major effort)
13:49:47mcuelenaereit can, but that takes core changes

13:54:15mcuelenaeredaurn: haven't looked at that, safetydan didn't include it so I suppose it didn't compile
13:56:02mcuelenaereah I see, that requires some sort of dynamic library linking framework to work
13:56:21mcuelenaere(which obviously Rockbox doesn't have)

14:01:02mcuelenaereyes I know that :) I just wasn't sure whether it was ever tested on-target
14:01:22mcuelenaeredaurn: so you mean require() should just be an alias for dofile() in Rockbox Lua?
14:01:29preglowsure, many of our codecs used floating point before i fixed them to not do so :>
14:01:51preglowlike i said, floating point will work, just don't expect sqrt() or cos() to exist
14:02:30daurnmcuelenaere: not an alias, but it should check in the package.loaded table to see if its already been loaded, and if now, loadfile is from a list of locations specified by package.path
14:02:35daurns/now/not
14:03:20daurnpreglow: I want to use the LNUM patch - it allows you to use ints most of the time, but floating point nums when absolutely necessary
14:03:25mcuelenaereah, I hacked dofile() to do the 'search in list of locations for file'-part :)

14:07:11daurnmcuelenaere: and I hope you notice theres the file library, and the io library.
14:07:27daurnthe file library being the important bit
14:08:36mcuelenaereah I already wondered about the weird *a, *n, *l, .. part :)
14:09:39preglowdaurn: well, then you need to find a libm
14:09:43preglowfor use in the lua plug
14:10:11*Torne suggests you nick it from newlib
14:10:46preglowbut like i said, floating point operations are painfully slow for almost all of our targets, i hope you're not going to run anything that does a lot of computation
14:10:47daurnmcuelenaere: http://www.lua.org/manual/5.1/manual.html#pdf-file:read
14:11:01daurnpreglow: lua is for running user scripts, its up to them what they run
14:11:06mcuelenaeredaurn: yes, looking at that page :)
14:11:31daurnpreglow: if they want to run a script that uses fp, and is damn slow, thats their own fault

17:47:01funmanrasher: perhaps there is is a way to redistribute it unmodified?
17:47:23funmanor redistribute the modifications with the original licence
17:47:29gevaertsfunman: without linking?
17:47:41funmanoh, hmm
17:47:43rasherNot without turning Rockbox inside out
17:47:46BryanJacobscould do it user side
17:48:03BryanJacobshave a script that retrieves the sources and builds them on the user's machine
17:48:11BryanJacobsthus, not redistributing
17:48:11Torneyuck :)
17:48:23BryanJacobswell, gevaerts asked
17:48:35gevaertsthat was a rhetorical question!
17:48:39BryanJacobs:-P
17:48:46rasherGross
17:48:51funmangevaerts: linking to the helix decoder is permitted by the licence
17:49:00gevaertsfunman: by the GPL?
17:49:07rasherfunman: But we'd be breaking the GPL
17:49:12gevaertsThis works both ways
17:49:20BryanJacobsif the helix decoder has restrictions > GPL, you can't link with it
17:49:42Tornefunman: everything linked to rockbox has to be GPL licenced, or someting less restrictive
17:49:51rasherUnless they changed it since I looked at it last, it does
17:50:10funmanso we couldn't distribute rockbox as gpl, and helix-aac.codec as the helix/real licence?
17:50:19BryanJacobsnot linked together
17:50:35Tornethe .codec files are already linked to rockbox
17:50:39BryanJacobsyou could try for the "system software" exception
17:50:44BryanJacobsbut you'd have a hard time making that one fly
17:51:07BryanJacobsas rasher said, you'd have to turn Rockbox inside out
17:51:07rasherBryanJacobs: especially considering how monolithic Rockbox is
17:51:10funmanthe solution would be to use a separate codec loader and distribute this one under lgpl
17:51:48rasherYeah, I think at that stage we've just about reached the "inside out" stage
17:51:53Torneyeah.
17:51:57*BryanJacobs agrees
17:51:59Torneyou'd have to abstract every API
17:51:59funmani.e. helix-aac.codec as lgpl and helix-aac.bin (loaded by helix-aac.codec) as helix licence
17:52:08 Quit n1s (Read error: 104 (Connection reset by peer))

17:52:19 Join n1s [0] (n=n1s@rockbox/developer/n1s)
17:52:25Tornebecause helix-aac.codec would become under the terms of the GPL by linking to rockbox
17:52:25funmanTorne: oh?
17:52:27BryanJacobs"functionally complete" clause
17:52:33TorneLGPL is less restrictive
17:52:38Tornebut the combined result is then GPL'ed
17:52:50funmanwhich combination ?
17:52:54BryanJacobsthe GPL requires distribution of complete sources anyhow
17:52:56BryanJacobsso it doesn't matter
17:53:01Tornehelix-aac.codec being linked to rockbox's core.
17:53:12BryanJacobshelix-aac.bin is part of the source
17:53:15Tornethat brings the less restrictive part under the full GPL.
17:53:18BryanJacobsthus, must be GPL licensed
17:53:25BryanJacobsTorne: no because it's not redistributed
17:53:34Tornewhat?
17:53:38rasherYou *could* distribute source-only, in which case the GPL wouldn't really come into play, but... I'd personally fight that tooth and nail
17:53:51BryanJacobsyou can link GPL to LGPL, can't you?
17:54:02TorneBryanJacobs: Yes, but the combined result is *all* under the GPL.
17:54:07BryanJacobsI think it might invoke the upgrade clause of the... oh yeah
17:54:10Tornethe LGPL'ed bit doesn't *stay* LGPLed
17:54:16BryanJacobsgot it :-)
17:54:38saratogafunman: very very briefly
17:54:41Tornehtat's exactly how the upgrading clause works :)
17:54:44saratogaits not GPLed so we can't use it directly
17:54:53saratogaits supposed to be quite fast though
17:54:56funmani am a bit lost :/
17:55:20Tornefunman: "there is no practical way to do it" is the summary :)
17:55:26BryanJacobsactually...
17:55:30funmansaratoga: yes https://datatype.helixcommunity.org/2005/aacfixptdec
17:55:34BryanJacobsyou could have GPL'ed dynamic codec loader
17:55:46BryanJacobswhich then loads the helix-licensed he-aac codec
17:55:55BryanJacobsso there's no linked distribution
17:55:58TorneBryanJacobs: only under the system software exception.

17:59:04notlisteningokay can someone confirm my understanding if i wanted to make a player tht was looking to perform well with lossless formats is a larger ram better and how big?
17:59:17rasherPlease stop being scary. Everyone of you!
17:59:20BryanJacobsit says if you make it available from a designated spot then it counts as redistributing - I'd forgotten that
17:59:27funmanso i could say develop a gpl helix-he-aac codec loader for rockbox and distribute it separately
17:59:32funman(from rockbox)
17:59:51gevaertsfunman: I think that would be getting deep into lawyer territory
18:00
18:00:06Tornenotlistening: larger ram is always better for eveyrthing
18:00:13gevaertsnotlistening: depends. Hard disk or flash?
18:00:14funmangevaerts: well i am not sure
18:00:25gevaertsfunman: that's why :)
18:00:25saratogayou can't really load a codec like that to get around the GPL because the codec is still used in the OS's process
18:00:37BryanJacobsthe codec loader itself would be A-OK, no?
18:00:46notlisteninggevaerts, can you answer for both?
18:00:50BryanJacobsit's only the people who use it who'd be in violation
18:00:59Tornesaratoga: I think you can, actually, it's not any different from the nVidia shim to load their proprietary DRI module
18:01:06BryanJacobsI mean, the codec loader doesn't even have to load he-aac, any codec could use it
18:01:08Tornebut it would have to be distributed seperately
18:01:18BryanJacobsTorne: why, if it's GPLed?
18:01:22gevaertsnotlistening: on hard disk, as much as you can get, on flash, it doesn't matter as much
18:01:24Torneand it would have to completely provide the API the non-gpl bit used
18:01:39BryanJacobsTorne: agreed on the second part there
18:02:06saratogai'm not really that interested in trying to get Helix's decoder to work
18:02:18saratogai'd rather borrow any good ideas they have an implement them in GPLed code
18:02:27BryanJacobsthat would be stealing
18:02:37BryanJacobsyou know, copyright infringement?

18:03:07BryanJacobsbut where does your work become a derivative?
18:03:08funmanthe general idea of a aac decoder is already patented ;)
18:03:20BryanJacobsI mean, if I change the variable names is my code now different?

18:03:31funmanas a french citizen i don't really care (for now)
18:03:35Hillshumand mp3 encoder
18:03:36BryanJacobswhat if I take their code and run it through an optimizing compiler, then disassemble that?
18:03:37TorneBryanJacobs: for copyright, it's sufficient to have one guy read the code and write a description of the tricks used to get good performance, then have soeone else who hsa never read the code write a new codec
18:03:49TorneBryanJacobs: no, that's not ok, you are tainted by having read the code
18:03:50BryanJacobsTorne: I agree that clean rooms work
18:04:01funmanTorne: in US perhaps
18:04:05BryanJacobsbut it didn't sound like saratoga was suggesting that
18:04:16Tornefunman: cleanrooming works just about everywhere
18:04:27BryanJacobsin the US we've got the famous IBM case
18:04:30funmanTorne: disassembling works here, that's all i want to know

18:05:41funmanno need to pass my findings to another person who would write the implementation

18:06:14Tornethat would obviously be a derived work
18:06:19Torneand i'm pretty sure that would be illegal in france too :)
18:06:31Torneat which point it becomes a matter of actually getting an opinion on it to be safe, is the point
18:06:33BryanJacobshttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clean_room_design says that disassembly is OK
18:06:35gevaertsTorne: are you allowed to design a car if you have a drivers license?
18:06:43Tornewhereas i fyou cleanroom it's guaranteed to be ok
18:06:52funmannot a derived work, but an interoperability measure
18:07:19funmanfor example libdvdcss
18:07:29Torneyes, but my point is that's a sliding scale
18:07:34Tornewith no clearly defined point where it's ok
18:07:40Tornewhereas cleanroom implementations are not
18:07:53Tornethings like libdvdcss are 'ok' by most definitions, yes
18:08:06BryanJacobsexcept under the DMCA :-P
18:08:10Torneyesyes
18:08:16Tornebut if they'd disassembled a dvd player and then 'accidentally' written a program that was the same exact instructions, that would probably be considered copyright infringement
18:08:31Torneeven if the people who did it claimed it was a coincidence and they only disassassembled it for research
18:08:32BryanJacobsyou could argue that he-aac encoding is a copy prevention algorithm, and there'd be no way to prove you wrong
18:08:33funmanyou can check that the same exact instructions aren't generated
18:08:46Tornefunman: yes. so exactly how different doe sit need to be to count?
18:08:51Tornether eis *no particular point*
18:08:53Torneit's up to a court to decide
18:08:57Tornethat's my point, nothing more
18:09:01*gevaerts thinks that this is getting off topic
18:09:05Torneso just being in france doesn't magically make it ok
18:09:06funmanTorne: linux and windows are both operating systems, but i doubt they share a lot of binary code
18:09:30*rasher agrees with gevaerts
18:09:31funmana decoder is something complex so i doubt 2 implementations share a lot of binary code as well
18:10:00funmanrasher: gevaerts hmm not sure .. licensing and reverse engineering are related to rockbox
18:10:45rasherBut not this general talk

22:13:32fmlJdGordon|: that's the point! Applying the patch does not change the appearance! I.e. even without explicitly setting status bar to false (i.e. after applying the patch) the status bar is not displayed in the plugin. So I think it's safe to remove those lines.

23:40:29Bagderrasher: nah, I hope to use it to trigger builds, manually and automated
23:40:43Bagdereven from remote I mean
23:40:45amiconnkugel: The wheel should be used consistently wrt directions. On the ipod it means to use it for vertical movements, unless zooming is also needed
23:40:53BagderMikachu: a model
23:40:57kugelamiconn: aren't you actually usually doing less steps for going through 1 stack?
23:41:09notlisteningwould you not have a scroll wheel if given a choice and what else would yoy use?
23:41:25kugelamiconn: so left/right for pf too, yes?
23:41:29amiconnPlain, simple buttons, in a directional cross
23:41:42pixelmafunman: I know, but it still is a bit different I guess if the wheel movement is also mechanical
23:41:43amiconnkugel: ?
23:42:03kugelwhat are you refering to?
23:42:10rasheramiconn: Why should it? If there's only one direction available..
23:42:18amiconn[23:41:25] <kugel> amiconn: so left/right for pf too, yes? <== /me doesn't understand
23:42:23notlisteningi had a scroll wheel on the side of a device with push and pull and click in movements that worked like a crea for doing everything
23:42:35kugelyou don't scroll vertically there in the album viewe
23:42:35Mikachulike a what?
23:42:51amiconnnotlistening: Actually several targets have those, and I prefer those targets for several reasons, one of which is the button layout
23:42:55kugelyou just said the wheel should only be used for vertical scrolling and zooming

23:43:42*kugel doesn't see the relation between scrollwheel and vertical scrolling
23:43:55ladanzhi there; just updated to version 3.3; where is the sleep timer???
23:43:59amiconnAs there is no vertical movement in pf, the wheel can be used for horizontal movement. I would map the Left/Right buttons in addition to that though (dunno whether it is already the case)
23:44:27amiconnkugel: There is no relation in general, but there is on the ipod when you need both directions
23:44:32rasheramiconn: I think kugel assumed you meant the wheel should never be used for horizontal movement
23:44:41rasherAs did I, for a moment
23:45:07gevaertsladanz: which target?
23:45:13kugelamiconn: and why vertical for that case?
23:45:25*amiconn doesn't want to repeat himself
23:45:37ladanzsansa e260; when u mean that gevaerts
23:45:38kugelI still don't see a relation, not even for cases where both directions are needed

23:46:20CIA-71New commit by mcuelenaere (r21500): Lua: expose BUTTON_* defines
23:46:22gevaertsladanz: the manual says it's in System -> Time and Date
23:46:40rasherkugel: Makes sense to me. When both directions are available, you can pick either "wheel = horizontal" or "wheel = vertical". One is easier to operate than the other, so you *always* make it do that.
23:47:21kugelone is easier to operate?

23:47:34ladanzyes it is ^^; thanks alot gevaerts ! next time i will look up the manual myself :-D
23:47:47rasherkugel: According to amiconn, it is easier to use the buttons for left+right, rather than up+down.
23:47:52Mikachuwhen you need two directions, i think using the wheel for one of them is _really_ annoying and hard to use
23:48:06rasherMikachu: I tend to agree
23:48:07LloreanMikachu: Depends on whether you "need" two directions or not
23:48:13LloreanFor example, the Jewels grid seems to be 2D
23:48:13ladanzbut it seems to me, that this is an unusal spot; because i set it every time....
23:48:15Mikachulike in the keyboard entry
23:48:21LloreanBut scrolling 1D with the wheel can be just as effective
23:48:30Mikachusokoban does it right :)
23:48:45LloreanAs long as "leave the right edge" means "enter on the left edge, one line lower" it can be a nice way to navigate a grid
23:49:01kugelMikachu: that's also true for many places. not solitaire though imo
23:49:09gevaertsladanz: it's been debated... If it's something you set while using the player normally, does it belong in settings?
23:49:26Mikachukugel: solitaire is more an array of arrays rather than a matrix :) so i think it is alright there
23:49:33amiconnrasher: It is more precise, not necessarily always easier. But it is also more logical
23:50:09*Llorean would prefer in all 2D situations to have button-based controls at least as an option

23:52:01rasherIt gets a bit tricky in the vkeyboard since play accepts, currently
23:52:14rasherThe vkeyboard is horrible to use on e200
23:52:19kugelyea
23:52:33Lloreankugel: No, not configurable buttons. :-P
23:52:51LloreanThe vkeyboard ranges from "mildly annoying" to "horrible" on basically every target I've used it on.
23:52:54Mikachui did this for vkeyboard (bottom hunk) http://comm.it.cx/?p=rockbox-svn.git;a=commitdiff;h=5ed41f1660a
23:53:00LloreanThere's no way to make it intuitive. You either *have* to read the manual, or do some guessing.

23:53:09kugelI was having a patch making it a bit better, up/down/left/right choosing characters, long select for accapting, scrollwheel for moving the cursor in the line
23:53:10Mikachubut i guess you want to avoid "combos"
23:53:27 Quit fml ("CGI:IRC")
23:53:34pixelmakugel: in solitaire the long play is a problem though as someone who wants to go through the cards vertically might also want to hold the button to go down repeatedly..
23:53:45*foaly cheers!
23:53:45rasherkugel: long select for accepting seems a bit dangerous
23:53:57foalyit works!
23:53:58LloreanThe main problem with vkeyboard that I have is, without manual, you have to guess what will be "accept" and "cancel"
23:54:11kugelI used it in my custom build days, I was very happy with it
23:54:17Mikachuusually menu+select is cancel on ipods

23:54:22Bagderhah, in the end I got 68 builds back ;-O
23:54:32GodEaternot bad out of 22 :D
23:54:40Bagderout of 59 actually
23:54:43Bagder9 bonus
23:54:49GodEaterwoohoo
23:54:50Mikachuhow many from me? :)
23:55:05ladanzgevaerts, is there a way to write it down in some config; so it's enabled when starting?
23:55:14GodEaterBagder: so that happens if two clients finish the same build at once ?
23:55:21rasherBagder: Tried to kill a build while it was already uploading?
23:55:27 Quit barrywardell ()
23:55:30gevaertsladanz: I don't know, sorry. I've never used that feature
23:55:32Bagderrasher: that's a good theory, yes
23:55:48rasherBagder: Maybe a "CANIUPLOAD?" "NOALREADYGETTINGTHAT!"
23:56:13Bagderno, we need to allow parallel uploads
23:56:13gevaertsrasher: no. What if this upload is real slow?
23:56:35rasherGood point
23:56:37Bagderthe server gets told once the zip+log is done uploading, not before
23:56:38amiconnLlorean: Imo accept should somehow relate to the standard select, and cancel to the standard cancel
23:56:41rasherAnd it's not going to be a problem anyway
23:56:43ladanzgevaerts, alright; thanks anyways. bye :-)

23:57:56rasherHow about an OK "key"?
23:58:01rasherIn the keyboard, that is
23:58:07LloreanReally, *most* of vkeyboard could be standardized to 6 buttons (up, down, left, right, select, cancel) with long-select being "accept" and long-cancel being "cancel", short cancel being "backspace"
23:58:14LloreanBut that doesn't give you pageflipping or anything, just very basics.
23:58:23*GodEater proposes all commands used by the build server are done in LOLSpeak
