00:02:09pamaurygevearts: I have another question about usb: does the ARC OTG chipset really have only 3 endpoints ? (each endpoint being in+out) That's not much
00:02:47gevaertspamaury: you can verify it if you like. There's a register that has the number. The PP chips have only 3 I think, while the freescale chips have 7
00:03:23gevaertsThese things are really built for DAPs, and if you can do MTP or MSC, manufacturers are happy

01:43:19andrewRBthanks
01:43:34kugelI'm not sure if calling wps functions outside of the wps is a good idea, but it will probably work if you entered it once

02:34:45Guest81124hello?
02:35:19Guest81124well anyways i hope someone will answer this question eventually.
02:35:34kugelJdGordon_: of course, we were talking about the defaults though
02:35:46AB3JUGuest81124: actually asking your question would probably be a good idea
02:36:14kugeldefault custom ui won't help you against a bigger font either, but against toggling the statusbar
02:36:36JdGordon_yeah
02:36:45 Quit efyx (Remote closed the connection)
02:36:58Guest81124when I listen to a track and want to change the track on my ipod, I would think it would be intuative to just go to the song i want from the Database and click the SELECT button, and it would play immidiatly.. is there any way to achieve this?
02:37:20kugelJdGordon_: although we could use sysfont for the ui viewport, making it immune against font changes :)
02:37:27JdGordon_exactly the way you would expect to
02:37:42JdGordon_kugel: that would be a bit silly now :)
02:37:48kugelhehe
02:37:59andrewRBthanks for the help earlier guys, i've got everything working how I want now :)
02:38:09Guest81124i hope im clear about my question.. instead of it playing the song it says "Erase dynamic Playlist"
02:38:51JdGordon_so turn that setting off
02:39:04JdGordon_or press select and it will magically go away
02:39:05JdGordon_the manual is a great read...
02:40:08Guest81124i understand it will go away.. but i don't want to dynamically erase the playlist everytime i want to hear a different song
02:40:52Guest81124it does take quite a while to do that everytime
02:41:14Guest81124Let me know if im making sense or just talking crazy talk
02:41:30JdGordon_thats what going into the database does... you need to find the song in the playlist viewer otherwise
02:42:46Guest81124JdGordon.. yes that worked.. don't know why i dind't get that earlier
02:45:35Guest81124I'm not sure if your a developer, but just a suggestion according to my experience, the music icon should be beside playlist, and it should open up the playlist immidiatly instead of showing you ""create/ view/ save" subcategories
02:45:45Guest81124sorry my spelling not so good
02:46:03 Quit JdGordon_ (Ping timeout: 180 seconds)
02:47:54Guest81124also why isn't there an option to start directly at the playlist when you turn on rockbox?
02:49:27Guest81124i would assume ill be spending most of my time in the playlist, therefor it should be more easily accessible. if others are using rockbox in defferent fassion please share cause i love the software just don't understand why some things where done the way they were
02:50:12andrewRBthe way I use it, i never use the database or playlists, i simply choose an album and play it
02:50:28kugelGuest81124: there's such an option.
02:50:45Guest81124choose an album from where in the menu?
02:50:52andrewRBthe file browser
02:51:45Guest81124the only thing i see wrong with that is "sub directories" and maybe "lack of TAG's"
02:52:08andrewRBwell both of those are simply matters of organising your music collection
02:52:17Guest81124that is true:)
02:52:32kugelGuest66974: rockbox saves the playlist where you left off. so, hitting play or setting the start screen to wps just plays the last playlist
02:53:49Guest81124i don't believe i have a wps start screen option
02:54:18Guest81124i have a Resume playback im assuming is the same thing
02:55:47andrewRBJdGordon: well, i've got ACTION_LIST_PLAY, ACTION_LIST_SKIPPREV, ACTION_LIST_SKIPNEXT, and ACTION_LIST_NEXTDIR working, any suggestions about seeking? The wps function for seeking is pretty complicated =/
02:56:15kugelGuest81124: settings->general settings->system->start screen
02:56:20JdGordonseeking is not something that imo belongs outside of the wps
02:56:32andrewRByeah that is probably true
02:57:46kugelespecially not with the progressbar slider feature
02:57:56andrewRBsee, one of the reasons I am doing this is so the player can be used with a broken touch screen
02:59:52kugelouch
02:59:59Guest81124my "playlist" seems to run slower then my "Database" in terms of browsing. also the database seems to be the desired way fro me to choose songs.
03:00
03:00:17andrewRBwhich iPod is this, Guest81124?
03:00:23kugelwhat's "my playlist"
03:00:43kugelthe playlist viewer is indeed a lot slower, not sure about the playlist browser
03:00:44Guest81124playlist in the menu screen
03:00:56kugelI don't mean that
03:03:26JdGordonyes, thats expected
03:03:49Guest81124About the suggestion earlier about using "Files" to choose your song. it still asks to erase Dynamic memory which is a long process if done many times throught the day
03:04:50JdGordonthe *only* way you can change songs without erasing the playlist is to use the playlist viewer, or add the song to the playlist...
03:05:00Guest81124so the only way to play a song immidiatly withought "erasing dynamic playlist" (not memore) is through "playlist"
03:05:28Guest81124lol ok were on the same track JdGordon

03:11:25kugelanyway, this warning is clearly not made for people using the database, I'd just turn it off if I were you
03:12:58Guest81124Well in that case Ill just put it out there that i think it would be awesome if i could select songs through the "Database" by hitting "select" on the song. Even if it addedit as a "Insert Next" but play instantly is more desirable. I say this cause (a)database runs quicker then playlist, and (B)Data base use "TAGS" and (C) it has the "music icon" :)

03:20:03Dhraakelliancould I get someone to look at a one-liner patch for Sudoku on the Fuze? I'm getting tired of doing my own builds just so that I can have a non-combo scratchpad button.
03:22:40Guest81124kugel: turning on the DirCache definitly made me like "Playlists" a lot better.
03:27:11kugelI think I never browsed by playlists
03:27:31kugelviewing the catalog shows me "no playlists" ;p
03:28:40Guest81124I really hate to bring it up. but it still baffels me why choosing songs on Database doesn't just switch to the song in the current playlist which would remove the need to constanttly "remove dynamic playlist"
03:28:47*Dhraakellian never really saw the point of premade playlists for general album listening when adding entire albums/folders to the current/dynamic playlist is so easy
03:29:36Guest81124baffels me even more now that you say that you never browse by playlist
03:29:47andrewRBi've never used playlists either
03:29:57andrewRBi really don't understand the reason to use them?
03:30:31Guest81124so every time you choose a new song to listen to you have to make a new dynamic playlist?
03:30:44Guest81124man i must be missing out on something
03:30:47andrewRBwhen i want to listen to something i simply select it, and it plays
03:30:55kugelGuest81124: every queue by the database is a dynamic playlist
03:31:00andrewRB(by select it, i mean, in the file browser)
03:31:25kugelyou always gonna destroy a dynamic one if you choose another song/playlist and the previous comes from the database

03:33:07Guest81124and i can see why you would say that you don't know why to use playlists
03:34:13andrewRBthe way i see it is the "dynamic playlist" is just the songs which are currently playing. So when you select a file in the browser, the "dynamic playlist" changes to the contents of whatever folder you selected from.
03:34:35Guest81124yes
03:34:41andrewRBi don't really see how else you would expect it to work
03:34:56Guest81124can i shuffle the songs if i choose them through file browser?
03:35:03Guest81124i thought i had shuffle turned on
03:35:10andrewRByes, the songs in the folder you are playing from
03:35:23DhraakellianRockbox's use of "dynamic playlist" confused me a bit, since I'm more used to Amarok's use of the term (which refers to auto-generated "party mode" playlists)

03:37:01Guest81124good one andrew
03:38:11*Dhraakellian has been using the one-liner patch for a while now and hasn't had a problem with it (well, other than occasional relapses to e200-trained muscle memory trying to get to the menu and toggling a number on the scratchpad instead)

03:49:21*andrewRB wonders if people should be forced to quote random excerpts from the manual for their target before being allowed to download rockbox
03:49:24kugelJdGordon: we have two statusbar callbacks :(
03:59:49kugelJdGordon: one in statusbar.c (gui_statusbar_changed(), directly passed to CHOICE_SETTING in settings_list.c), and one in display_menu.c (statusbar_callback()). Can you tell the difference? It seems removing the latter doesn't change anything
04:00
04:00:42JdGordonthe one in display_menu is for the setting change.. doesnt that one trigger the other one?
04:00:54kugelno
04:01:16kugelthe other one is alawys triggered (in quickscreen also); even twice it seems
04:01:39JdGordonandrewRB: you need to add a ffwd_rew(ACTION_WPS_SEEKSTOP); call when you want to stop seeking
04:01:44kugelI'm not sure what ACTION_EXIT_MENUITEM stands for though
04:02:01JdGordonthats what happens when the setting is exited
04:02:48JdGordonyes, it triggers the event then
04:02:49andrewRBJdGordon: do you mean ffwd_rew(ACTION_WPS_STOPSEEK); ?
04:02:54kugelindeed
04:03:00JdGordonit might be triggered elsewhere also
04:03:03JdGordonandrewRB: yes
04:03:05kugelthe other one is also called when it exited
04:03:53andrewRBJdGordon: its already there. it is tested and works, so not entirely sure what you were getting at?
04:04:14JdGordonoh ok
04:04:54JdGordonkugel: oh right.... yes the one in display_menu should be removed
04:05:34kugelany idea why the other one is called twice when changing the value (not when exiting, also not in quickscreen)?
04:05:55JdGordonyes, the list calls it each time the selection is changed
04:06:22kugelbut why is it called twice per selection change?
04:06:52JdGordonoh right... umm... thats what gdb is for :)
04:07:38kugelI tried that, same backtrace apparently

04:27:18Guest81124hey guys. so i've been playing around with rockbox and i can't seem to get my rockbox to play random songs from all the sub directories when i chose the files from the "files" browser. I've turned on Recursively insert directories and also had a playlist with all the songs i want to shuffle through. Also i have follow playlist turned on.. whenever i click on a song from the "files" browser it would create a n
04:28:19Guest81124therefor not let it shuffle through songs in the sub directories
04:31:46andrewRBin the file browser, on the root directory, open the context menu and select playlist->insert
04:31:54andrewRBthen just have shuffle on
04:34:54Guest81124alright.. so now when i wanna choose a different song to play from the file browser i get the "Erase dynamic playlist?" option. as apposed to just changing to the song in the current playlist
04:35:32andrewRBso why are you choosing a different song from the file browser rather than the current playlist?
04:37:15andrewRBfrom the WPS, open the context menu, select playlist, select view current playlist, and select the song you want there
04:37:40Guest81124it's difficult to find a specific song in the current playlist.
04:37:55andrewRB...search in playlist?
04:38:45Guest81124in the "Database" you can find songs by many different criterias like artist. in "Files" you can search by folder
04:38:55Guest81124in playlist it's just raw song after song
04:39:01andrewRBok...
04:39:23andrewRBi really don't understand what you want
04:39:36andrewRBi mean, if i want to play everything randomly, that is what i do
04:39:48andrewRBif i want to play a specific song/album, i select it
04:39:54Guest81124i know and i don't want to become to much of a bother
04:40:09andrewRBno it's fine, i just can't comprehend what you are trying to do
04:42:03Guest81124when i used my ipod firmware it would play all the songs in a shuffel. if in the middle of a song i decided i wanted to play a song from the artist "TOOL" i could just search in artists. similar to "Database" and it would play instantaneously
04:42:30Guest81124while maintaining the shuffle of all the songs in my ipod
04:44:38Guest81124i really hope im making some sense
04:44:47andrewRBi think so
04:44:52andrewRBgimme a sec to test something
04:45:08andrewRB(as i don't use shuffle, i have to check)
04:50:22andrewRBugh
04:50:35andrewRBcan't test it, actually, sorry. i can't find my sd card
04:50:53Guest81124thats poo poo:(
04:51:19andrewRBbut i'm pretty sure you can't do what you want unless you search within the currently playing playlist
04:51:44Guest81124ya im pretty sure too..
04:51:51andrewRBselecting anything from the file browser or database creates a new dynamic playlist, because that is usually what is expected
04:52:02andrewRBwhen you select a song, you expect the song after it to play
04:52:09Guest81124i would expect my way actualy
04:52:36Guest81124wait no you might be right
04:53:43andrewRBi think it is a difference between iPods and the majority of other music players - iPods automatically play through the entire collection, whereas most others play whatever folder or album you select
04:54:21andrewRBi mean, rockbox can do that too, auto advance to the next folder when it gets to the end of one
04:54:51andrewRBbut the dynamic playlist doesn't contain everything you have on the device
04:55:07andrewRBand shuffle only shuffles within the DPL
04:55:31Guest81124well theres one way of doign it but its a little lengthy
04:55:45andrewRB?

05:20:07IgoooorrrrHello, I have rockbox running on an iriver H340. How would I go about removing the original firmware entirely so that the player always boots into rockbox? I have it connected in my car, so every time I turn the engine on, it starts the original firmware charging screen.
05:20:52andrewRBmodify the bootloader
05:21:32IgoooorrrrCan you be a bit more specific? Modify it to remove the original firmware entirely?
05:22:15andrewRBwhat do you currently do to boot rockbox?
05:22:22Guest81124i gtg . thank you sincerly andrewRB.. You absolutly helped me a lot! best wishes to you.
05:22:29 Quit Guest81124 ("CGI:IRC")
05:23:01IgoooorrrrIt boots to rockbox by default when I hold down the play button, but I can still boot to the original firmware if I hold down play and circle.
05:23:33andrewRBwhat if you hold no key?
05:23:39andrewRBoh, wait, ignore that
05:23:50andrewRBthe play key is the power button, i take it
05:23:56Igoooorrrryes
05:24:22IgoooorrrrHowever, if I plug it in, it automatically launches the original firmware charging screen, and I can't boot to rockbox from that, only to the original firmware.
05:24:49andrewRBhmmm, how do you install rockbox on it? I mean, does it require the OF upgrade mechanism?
05:26:41IgoooorrrrI'm not too familliar with the terminology you guys use, but if I remember correctly, I modified the original firmware with the utility off the RB site.
05:27:26andrewRBperhaps, patched the iriver firmware with the rockbox bootloader?
05:27:34Igoooorrrryes, that was it
05:27:44andrewRBif that is the case, i would hazard a guess there is no way to remove the iriver firmware entirely
05:29:37andrewRBof course, i've never owned or worked on the iriver, so i am just guessing, but that sounds pretty similar to my D2

05:48:35IgoooorrrrNot really. If you try to shut it down while plugged in, it says "Battery: Charging" and doesn't shut down.
05:51:59 Quit kugel (Remote closed the connection)
05:54:41evilwombatIt's the original FW being stupid?
05:54:49evilwombatI figure enough other people must have had this issue
05:54:56Igoooorrrrit's not really an "issue"
05:55:03evilwombatanyone else here run H100 / H300 ?
05:55:12Igoooorrrrit comes up in my case because of the specifics of how i use the iriver
05:57:49evilwombatwell, i am sure other people at least have run into it
05:57:56evilwombatit's a pretty BASIC issue that needs to be fixed
05:58:00evilwombatreplace the charging screen
05:58:14evilwombatand go into the proper firmware when charger is removed
05:58:34Igoooorrrrwell
05:58:46Igoooorrrri would think the fastest fix is when the charger is inserted, boot to rockbox
06:00
06:00:54evilwombatyeah
06:01:00evilwombatbut you don't know who is responsible for that
06:01:12evilwombatwhich 'code' starts when charger is plugged in?
06:01:19evilwombatprobably original iriver bootstrap thingy
06:01:34evilwombatthe one that is patched to look at the Rec / hold button and decide what to load
06:01:50evilwombatwell, the charger aspect of it doesn't seem to be patched by fwpatch
06:02:09Igoooorrrri imagine it is not trivial to mess with the original firmware
06:02:30evilwombati suppose not, but they've done it
06:02:39evilwombati imagine this is a pretty weird boot situation
06:02:45Igoooorrrryeah, but i doubt they'd want to mess with it anymore
06:02:46evilwombatie, no power -> power -> what runs?
06:02:51evilwombatit's all just a guess, but prolly a decent one
06:03:07evilwombatsubmit a feature request?
06:04:06evilwombatwhat happens if you use a USB charger instead of DC In ?
06:04:11Igoooorrrruhh
06:04:27Igoooorrrrif i recall, it won't play and run at the same time
06:04:30Igoooorrrrer
06:04:32Igoooorrrrplay and charge
06:04:36Igoooorrrrvia usb
06:04:48evilwombatoh... lame?
06:04:48Igoooorrrri remember having to wait for the car charger to arrive, and i believe that was the reason
06:04:57evilwombatoh
06:04:59evilwombatHmmm
06:05:04evilwombatwell
06:05:16evilwombatif you can get your hands on the on button, i know of a way\
06:05:18evilwombatOR
06:05:33evilwombatdoes attaching USB power wake it up and send it into rockbox?
06:06:46Igoooorrrr"if you can get your hands on the on button"?
06:06:52Igoooorrrrum
06:06:53Igoooorrrrlemme find out
06:06:57Igoooorrrrbut i dont think so
06:07:10evilwombatfind out.
06:07:23Igoooorrrrit goes into "bootloader usb mode"
06:07:35Igoooorrrrrockbox's
06:07:35evilwombatie, ROCKBOX
06:07:38Igoooorrrryes
06:07:47evilwombatis it usb power, or usb -> PC ?
06:08:12Igoooorrrrit connects it to my pc
06:08:26evilwombatwhat if you just give it 5V via USB ?
06:08:38evilwombatie, razr charger, or any of the other ones?
06:08:54evilwombatif you give it both, it may goto rockbox
06:09:02Igoooorrrrwell
06:09:11Igoooorrrri only have one power jack in my car for it :)
06:09:18evilwombatthat's not a problem :)
06:09:23evilwombatfind out of it will work
06:09:32evilwombatie, get a plain USB 5V output
06:09:34Igoooorrrrso you want usb power
06:09:35Igoooorrrrok
06:09:38Igoooorrrrgive me one second
06:09:41evilwombatfind one
06:09:52evilwombator reach to computer, and unplug USB green and white, leaving only the power
06:10:25evilwombatUSB needs little current - you essentially just want to wake the fucker up.
06:10:38evilwombatso you can split off the car charger and get it down to 5V easily
06:10:43evilwombatie, one part
06:11:01evilwombatjust verify that only having the power is enough
06:12:05evilwombatif it does, i will explain the rest
06:12:06Igoooorrrrstill goes into bootloader usb mode
06:12:13evilwombatok
06:12:21evilwombatso with that plugged in, attach the regular charger.
06:12:40evilwombatthen, unplug usb power.
06:13:07Igoooorrrrthat does make it boot into rockbox, yes
06:13:12evilwombatHHHHMMMMM
06:13:22Igoooorrrrthis... seems needlessly complex
06:13:25evilwombatI am thinking of a lulzy circuit.

10:06:13n1sI was cheering for reduction in code duplication :)
10:06:38Unhelpfulah. indeed. i touched lcd.h though, probably why the build is running long
10:07:20Unhelpfuli think that i can rename it to lcd-common.c and also roll in the scroll_fn from the charcell driver... maybe. hopefully without making too much #ifdef hell
10:08:16Unhelpfulhm, i didn't get any positive deltas on targets i test-built for :/

12:24:57BdN3504quick question: how do i checkout 3.3 using the svn checkout command with the -r parameter? would it be "-r 2009-19-06" ?
12:25:23gevaertsno. You check out the 3.3 branch
12:26:35BdN3504how do i do that?
12:27:53BdN3504is it 21335? as mentioned here: http://svn.rockbox.org/viewvc.cgi/branches/ ?
12:28:01Unhelpfulwhy exactly do you want to? if you want to work on the source, you really should be using svn trunk... otherwise any patches you generate probably won't apply.
12:28:18UnhelpfulBdN3504: no, the branch is not a particular revision.
12:28:36gevaertssee the -dev list, one or two weeks before the release. There's an announcement mail that tells you what to do
12:30:51BdN3504Unhelpful: i want to create a test build. i made one using r22090 and one person reported an error that was not due to the patch but another issue with that revision.
12:31:15BdN3504so i thought i'd go with the release and patch that, so there's less room for errors
12:32:22BdN3504thanks for the help though
12:34:10BdN3504if anyone else is looking for the info on how to check out 3.3 you'll find it here: http://www.rockbox.org/mail/archive/rockbox-dev-archive-2009-06/0048.shtml

15:20:57BdN3504aha ok, but i am trying to include a patch into 3.3 to upload a test build. would i have to rewrite the patch using strcpy? or can i update 3.3 to only contain that plugin api change?

18:47:31gibbon_Torne: i want to use this remote with the mini 1st gen
18:47:40gibbon_the 3rg gen is long gone ... :/
18:48:13TorneOh
18:48:24Tornei dunno what the mini has
18:48:24gibbon_http://cherryfusion.com/images/products/accessories/5925.jpg
18:48:41gibbon_the device looks a lot like this, but does not connect to the dock, but the headphones
18:48:52Tornebut ipod mini 1g in rockbox has no accessory protocol support
18:48:56Torneso i would guess it doesn't work
18:49:14gibbon_i don'T even know which protocol this extra port talks and if its the same as the IAP in the dock
18:49:23gibbon_oh... sad though.
18:49:26gibbon_thanks anyway

18:49:38TorneI doubt we know that either :)
18:49:50TorneThe only accessory support we have on ipod is for stuff hat plugs into the dock connector
18:50:04gibbon_mhm
18:50:04TorneI have no idea if htat's the same protocol as the extra port on the mini/3g
18:50:06Torneit might be, might not
18:50:11Tornebut in any case nobody seems to have tried
18:50:36gibbon_i would volunteer, if i were a better programmer
18:50:46gibbon_i have the device but lack a lot of the skills ;)
18:51:15gibbon_at least, there is some "accessory power" setting on the mini.. but i guess that does not say anything at all
18:51:41TorneNo idea what pins that will be controlling power to
18:51:45Torneit may be the same pins on the dock connector
18:51:53Torneor it may be pins on the remote port
18:52:05Tornebut that's jus a GPIO we know how to toggle on and off
18:52:14Tornesupporting that doesn't mean we can support the actual communications
18:52:17gibbon_ah, ok
18:52:32gibbon_this at least toggles something on the remote port
18:52:48Torneoh? your accessorye turns on and off when you enable/disable it?
18:52:50gibbon_i have a wireless remote that flashes a led on initialisation
18:52:53TorneAh right
18:53:00gibbon_on the apple OS at least
18:53:21gibbon_this light is flashing continously when Accessory power is turned on in rockbox
18:53:29TorneYah, it's probably rtying to talk to rockbox
18:53:33Torneand we're not listening.
18:53:36gibbon_but only under some conditions that i had to reinvestigate
18:53:47Tornethere's no sign of serial being supported on the mini.
18:53:50Tornesorry :(
18:53:55gibbon_its really flashing very fast (like PWMed)
18:54:02TorneYes, it's probably resetting itself :)
18:54:06gibbon_nothing to be sorry about :)

20:49:33mtdomonoky: I could try that, but we already have the same situation for cook, and it hasn't been a problem thus far.
20:50:32domonokyas its a external program, it isnt really a problem. But it would still be nicer :-) ofcoure then the cook standalone program should also do this...

21:40:51amiconnZagor, gevaerts: fat.c uses the build date on targets without rtc. Before that, it used a fixed date, but that was a rather bad solution
21:41:21Zagoramiconn: why is build date better than a fixed date?
21:41:32amiconnIt's not a big problem when changing existing files, but when creating new ones.
21:42:28amiconnNew files are created with that date. If it is fixed, it will further and further in the past over time
21:42:42Zagorwhat is the problem with that?
21:43:47amiconnYou don't even remotely know how new a file is, even if you update rockbox regularly
21:43:49JdGordon|considering the date is goign to be wrong anyway, why not just use 0 for it?
21:44:25amiconnBy using the build date it is guaranteed that a newly created file is never "older" than the rockbox build which created it
21:44:40JdGordon|why is that needed thoguh?
21:44:43JdGordon|either way, its wrong
21:44:46JdGordon|or misleading
21:44:47Zagorthat may be logical to you, but not to a user
21:45:35JdGordon|I would guess that having the date come up as jan-1-1970 is more obvious to users whats happening than a date 3 months ago...
21:45:51amiconnWell you can't make it 100% without having an actual rtc. That shouldn't stop us from making it as good as possible
21:45:58Zagorthese targets don't have a clock. hence the file dates on them will *always* be wrong. using a single fixed date for all files is thus _less_ confusing than setting different dates depending on whch version the user happened to have installled at the time
21:47:29Zagorvarious strange dates is not "as good as possible" in my opinion
21:49:32pixelmait at least gives you a hint when you recorded or saved it
21:49:42amiconn"DIR_WrtTime and DIR_WrtDate must be supported, however." from http://www.rockbox.org/twiki/pub/Main/DataSheets/FAT32Spec103.pdf
21:49:50Zagorpixelma: does it? how?
21:50:02mtsaratoga: (question about 10 mins ago).
21:51:01pixelmawell if it has a date of July 1st, you know it can't be from the meeting you recorded on July 15th
21:51:08Zagorin fact a 0 date would be more informative, since it would say that this file was created on the player rather than on the computer. a random date in the past year or two says nearly nothing
21:51:09saratogamt: is it needed to say that we've linked the codeclib?
21:51:26amiconnpixelma: It can, if your rockbox build is from before July 1st
21:51:34Zagorpixelma: what? that's exactly what it can, with the current scheme
21:52:20pixelmahuh, I'm confused now and am not sure anymore what you are talking about
21:52:24amiconnZagor: A zero date (== 01 Jan 1980, 00:00) is not valid for the fields I menitoned. Such a date is e.g. displayed empty in the date+time column in windows explorer
21:52:26mtsaratoga: Not that. I just wanted to write "To use the mdct lib outside rockbox do .... " in somewhere reachable by someone who is looking for such information.
21:52:47amiconnI know there are a few embedded systems which do this, but it's a violation of the fat specs
21:53:00Zagoramiconn: well, a token zero then. Jan 1990 00:00 is just as obvious
21:53:16saratogayou mean someone who wanted to use the codecs?
21:53:20JdGordon|yeah, any date that is obviously wrong would be better
21:53:31JdGordon|octember 32nd :)
21:53:59pixelmaamiconn: it can but then I probably didn't record it on the player then... and I don't think I would create rec_0001.mp3s on the computer
21:54:39mtsaratoga: No, someone who wants to use the mdct lib when porting a codec, unless such comment isn't necessary (opinions ? ). For cook and atrac I'll just add some comments to their readmes.
21:54:51saratogai dont think that is neccessary
21:55:11saratogait should be clear to anyone porting
21:55:29Zagorpixelma: did you mean to write june somewhere?
21:55:55pixelmayes, the last one
21:56:18Zagorin any case, the scheme assumes very frequent updates for any kind of usability
21:56:55JdGordon|a very bad idea could be to use the date+X of the newest file in the folder for new files...
21:56:58ZagorI maintain an obviously incorrect "symbolic" date is more useful and less confusing
21:57:15*Zagor throws pebbles at JdGordon
21:57:21pixelmawell, even if you only updare once a month you have a *hint*
21:57:28JdGordon|it would solve everyones peroblems though :)
21:57:37Zagorpixelma: only? once a month is very frequent
21:57:40amiconnZagor: It doesn't. Frequent updates just improve the behaviour vs. using a fixed date
21:57:56amiconnIf you rarely update, both approaches are essentially the same
21:57:59JdGordon|pixelma: really the proper way to do it is rename your files ocne the recording is finished..

21:59:24Zagorpixelma: yes. I believe the average user updates far less frequent than that.
21:59:28saratogahow many targets lack a clock?
21:59:39amiconnZagor: The timestamps are more complex than that. Using a single, fixed timestamp would be bad because it would cause situations where the filetime jumps backwards, which would be very bad e.g. for sync tools
21:59:59amiconnWe need to consider new files and writes to existing files
22:00
22:00:26JdGordon|non-rtc targets should have read only file systems!
22:00:29pixelmaJdGordon|: yes, with the virtual keyboard? Although... I do that sometimes, but I don't see the need to change something there. I even look at that sometimes, e.g. when deciding if I can throw away a config file
22:00:38Zagoramiconn: that is true for the current scheme too.create a playlist with your pc, then overwrite it on the archos. boom, no sync.
22:00:44amiconnThe latter should monotonely increase the timestamp, so that a sync tool notices something has changed, and sync into the correct direction. Same goes for manual syncing by looking at timestamps
22:00:51pixelmaZagor: maybe we have different understandings of "very" then
22:01:30amiconnZagor: The current scheme does what I just explained. It takes the timestamp of the existing file, and increases it (by a fixed amount: 1h 15 min)
22:01:42JdGordon|pixelma: I was repliying to your need for the hint in the date.... with non rtc you really shouldnt be going by the file dates
22:01:46pixelmaZagor: the Archos Recorders have an RTC
22:01:53amiconnNew files get a time stamp of <build date, 01:15>
22:02:21Zagoramiconn: so changing the build date to 1990 would thus not change this.

22:02:36Zagorpixelma: I know that
22:04:01amiconnZagor: Using 01 Jan 1990 as a marker doesn't work because of this. It will increase over time if this file is written to, and eventually lose its significance as a marker
22:04:08pixelmaJdGordon|: as I explained I do and find it useful in cases, yes it's coarse but better than nothing...s nice to learn that I "really shouldn't" now
22:05:22pixelmawere there reports of confused people?
22:05:23Zagoramiconn: uh, it takes two million writes to advance a single year... that's not really a problem. besides we could always use 1981 or even 01:00 1980

22:12:41amiconnZagor: Imo "close to the truth" is better. It's possible to add some signalling "attention, this timestamp isn't necessarily correct" without giving up the close-to-the-truth approach

22:13:14amiconnRight now we're always incrementing the filetime by 75 minutes when writing to a file
22:13:17ballThey show up on the Xubuntu box and also on a NetBSD box
22:13:29ballI'll have a dig in the menus for a "show files" setting
22:13:32Zagorball: what are they called?
22:13:33pixelmawhat player do you have?
22:13:37balliPod Mini
22:13:41ball1st gen
22:13:48Zagorball: the files...
22:14:07balle.g. -rwxrwxr-x 1 root wheel 3373183 Aug 13 19:52 G6_lineup_3ZEQ.mp3
22:14:13amiconnIf we would instead round it before so that the time part of a file always ends up as a multiple of 01:11:11 when written to by rockbox, this is probably a rather good hint
22:14:57amiconnHmm, that won't work after 05:55:55.
22:15:37amiconnBut the idea could certainly be modified so that it works without too uneven increments
22:16:05amiconnE.g. always setting minutes and seconds to :22:22, , and increment by an hour at a time
22:16:15ballfile(1) reports G6_lineup_3ZEQ.mp3: Audio file with ID3 version 23.0 tag, MP3 encodin
22:16:18ballg
22:16:39ballPerhaps I just need to reinstall rockbox
22:16:52amiconn(not :11:11 because I forgot that wrttime seconds on fat must be even)
22:16:58Zagoramiconn: how about subtracting 20 years? that's a pretty clear flag, but you still have the date info
22:17:49Zagoranyway, that would mean keeping the need to rebuild fat.c every time, so it doesn't really change anything as far as I'm concerned
22:17:51 Quit KBH ()
22:18:05ZagorI'm just going to leave fat.c as it is for now.
22:18:27amiconnYeah, but if you're sorting by date (I know that can't be 100% correct anyway tough) it would look quite odd, as those files would sort totally different)
22:18:40amiconnIt also leaves the problem that writing to a file woud set the time backwards
22:18:45ballWell that's strange
22:18:46amiconn(first-time write)
22:18:59Zagoramiconn: only new files
22:19:08ballSomehow Rockbox was set to only view Playlists
22:19:12Zagorwe naturally don't change the increment concept
22:19:17ballI know I didn't do that deliberately
22:19:21ball...very odd.
22:19:27ballThanks for your help Zagor

22:20:12ballZagor: well you helped too, so thanks.
22:20:24Zagoramiconn: true. well, as I said I'm not changing this right now.
22:20:42ballPerhaps back later, after I've washed some dishes
22:20:42amiconnThe :22:22 idea would set this on all files rockbox is writing to, and increment the hour by 1. It would also increment the date to the build date if it's before that

22:22:50 Join saratoga [0] (i=442cd0c4@gateway/web/freenode/session)
22:23:11Zagoramiconn: moving it to a .h file just adds complexity. it won't change the ccache penalty.
22:23:36amiconnIt will, as only those files actually needing the values would depend on that .h
22:24:17gevaertsamiconn: I think it's a bit more complex. You suddenly have a file that needs to be rewritten without dependencies saying so
22:24:49amiconnThe .h file would always be written at build time, directly, without using -D on a gcc commandline
22:25:29Zagorit still means ccache cannot cache fat.c. same as if I just add a new Makefile rule for it.
22:25:48ZagorI prefer two lines in the makefile over creating new files in the build dir
22:25:54JdGordon|what about not being so agressive with deleting the build dir each round?
22:26:13amiconnHmm, maybe I don't understand the problem correctly?

22:26:50amiconnBut then I wonder why ccache helps at all
22:27:05gevaertsdoes it?
22:28:04JdGordon|Zagor: yeah, but how about.. unless some specified files change (configure, config*.h, english.lang, etc) reuse the directory, then if that ails do a clean build... surely that would still be faster on average than a full rebuild every time?
22:28:04amiconnWell if I do configure && time make && make clean && time make with primed ccache, the second 'make' is much faster
22:28:37amiconn(except on cygwin, but that's another matter)
22:28:43gevaertsamiconn: yes, but the revision is the same
22:28:55ZagorJdGordon|: that would assume we know which files trigger dependency bugs. we don't!
22:29:07Zagorwe don't even know of such bugs
22:29:29JdGordon|well, yeah...
22:29:32amiconngevaerts: Hmm, that should be tested across a daychange then?
22:30:07Zagoramiconn: two different revisions is enough, since all compiles get APPVERSION
22:30:42amiconnYes, but different revisions will cause valid recompiles
22:31:19Zagoryes but you should still see a difference if ccache works (and if the revision isn't huge)

23:21:10Zagorthis means the ccache manual is wrong: it's not comparing the commandline, only the preprocessor output
23:21:24gevaertsZagor: maybe they ignore -D?
23:21:39Zagorwell, I would call -D part of the commandline :)
23:21:48Zagorso leaving that out is still a manual bug

23:26:21gevaertspamaury: I didn't do tests yet to see if the 96 bytes thing is the same for all targets. I did verify that serial now works properly though. While doing that I found this bug in the driver
23:26:44amiconngevaerts: Did you try serial on the beast?
23:26:51gevaertsamiconn: not yet
23:28:16n1sif anyone is serious about chasing build speed, i think optimizing genlang could give some nice speedups as iirc it takes about ~1/4 of the build time, can't remember how to build only langs though...
23:28:25gevaertsWhat happened is that the driver waits for the ENDPT_PRIME bit to be set, and then looks at REG_ENDPTSTATUS, where the endpoint-specific bit should be 1. However, in some cases the transfer is fast enough to complete before that check actually happens, so the bit is 0 again. I fixed that by also checking ENDPT_COMPLETE
23:28:42n1sthat's with a primed ccache of course
23:29:22rasherSo all this time, we haven't really been using ccache much, if at all?
23:29:35Zagorseems so
23:29:43pamaurygevearts: I did some test on usb_serial and when I submit a >=97 transfer, it proceeds normally, prepare a td, tells the hardware to proceed and then there is not feedback anymore, no interrupt, nothing

23:50:12amiconnrasher: One thing it could perhaps do is storing the parse result of english.lang on disk in some binary form, so that subsequent calls could just fetch that without further processing
23:50:46*amiconn doesn't know how to do this in perl
23:50:54pixelmait's not the only point I thought was worth bringing up, actually I stumbled upon this because I wanted to see if there is anything obvious why pyros-roolku produces this weird delta on the Iaudio M3 buiild - just remembered that this function had been there before and proved useful
23:51:11rasheramiconn: Indeed. It should do the same for the results of the other languages and store that with a hash of some sort
23:51:55JdGordon|are all the languages actually dependant on english.lang (in the make dependancies i mean)
23:51:57amiconnI'm not talking about automatic caching. Just parse english.lang once per build, and use the result for processing all the other languages
23:52:15amiconnhmm
23:52:47ZagorI think fixing the code should be done before adding caching. caching is for inherently hard problems, not poor code.

23:55:11Zagorpixelma: asking doesn't hurt. I just wanted a really good reason before spending a bunch of time on it.
23:55:18JdGordon|well no... doesnt the genlang script actually let you use any .lang as the base lang?
23:55:19amiconnCreating a .lng needs english.lang for reference, so all .lng should depend on their respective .lang and english.lang
23:56:48n1sJdGordon: yes, you *can* specify any other lang as the base lang to pass to genlang but why do you want to?
