00:00:08JdGordon|yeah, i have
00:00:09JdGordon|works fine

00:01:01JdGordon|there is a very minor bug going from 3 to 32 and vice versa... but if thats what your talking about i wouldnt worry
00:01:47mcuelenaerethat's what I'm talking about
00:01:53mcuelenaereand there's a flyspray report about it ;)
00:02:00JdGordon|AH! thats not the menu at all...
00:02:06JdGordon|thats option_select()
00:02:50webguesthey could anyone tell me how to uninstall rockbox off my sansa e250r
00:03:28JdGordon|the wiki and manual and rbutil all make it very simple
00:04:15CIA-61New commit by rmenes (r22412): A few non-translation fixes for Tagalog.
00:04:23webguestso i can uninstall it the same way you would uninstall it on a e200
00:04:30kugelmcuelenaere: LCD_WIDTH/10 still is a bit low, btw (imo)
00:04:56JdGordon|webguest: yes
00:05:03mcuelenaerekugel: you want the scrollbar to fill up whole your screen? ;)
00:05:20mcuelenaerebut sure, go ahead and increase it
00:06:07kugelno, but it's only 17 on a e200. and still only 6 on my clip
00:06:11JdGordon|mcuelenaere: can you change the left/right side setting to not apply on the fly? its almost never displayed in that setting and feels really wierd having the space move
00:06:36JdGordon|kugel: do MIN(30,LCD_WIDTH/10)
00:07:12JdGordon|I mean MAX
00:07:12mcuelenaereJdGordon|: how? use 2 variables and only update the actual one when leaving the screen?
00:07:28JdGordon|mcuelenaere: just give it the F_TEMPVAR flag in settings_list
00:08:50JdGordon|*may not be named that actually*
00:08:54JdGordon|something along those lines
00:09:10mcuelenaereperhaps I should also use that for scrollbar width to fix that..
00:09:31JdGordon|no... that live updating is great
00:09:54JdGordon|its probalby a 2 line change in optino_select.c
00:09:55mcuelenaereyeah I think so too, but the bug isn't :)
00:10:23BagderZagor: broken build client?
00:10:43ZagorBagder: yes, I'm testing some changes. they didn't work too well...
00:10:46freqmod_qukugel: Is http://forums.rockbox.org/index.php?topic=14064.msg154659#msg154659 a bug report? ( i.e should i have posted it in the test build thread? )
00:11:00webguest.do i need to put it in manufacture mode
00:12:26***Saving seen data "./dancer.seen"
00:12:50mcuelenaereJdGordon|: redrawing the menu after the item changes works, but you can see the scrollbar rapidly switching from 24 to 3 pixels
00:13:00mcuelenaerealso I'm not sure if this breaks anything..
00:13:17JdGordon|you're not in the menu :)
00:13:31mcuelenaereredrawing the list* :)
00:13:51JdGordon|and no, I dont tinhk there should be an issue redrawing the list *after* the setting changes.. in fact I would think that would be the better place for it
00:14:12mcuelenaereI suppose list_do_action() does a list redraw?
00:14:19JdGordon|yeah
00:14:21JdGordon|damn
00:14:23JdGordon|that just clicked
00:14:46JdGordon|selection change -> redraw -> callback -> redraw(?)
00:15:00mcuelenaereyep
00:15:02JdGordon|bugger it.. close it as wont fix
00:15:04mcuelenaerethat's what I meant
00:15:06JdGordon|its not a big deal
00:15:15mcuelenaereor just commit it with the glitch?
00:15:30mcuelenaereI think correct behaviour with a small glitch is better over incorrect behaviour
00:15:36mcuelenaerethen*
00:15:37JdGordon|no.. redraws are pointless
00:16:28JdGordon|I havnt looked at that code in ages so cant give any other ideas

00:25:05mcuelenaerekugel: http://pastebin.com/f6d356de5
00:25:16JdGordon|also, all these status/scroll bar settings should get moved to the themes menu

00:25:28kugelthere's no glitch here
00:25:49kugelit rapidly gets small, but isn't that what you wanted?
00:25:55JdGordon|go from 3 to max
00:26:02mcuelenaereno, the other way around
00:26:07JdGordon|either
00:26:10webguestmy e200r isnt working with the e200 uninstall instructions

00:26:13mcuelenaereyou can't see it from 3 to max as it'll get bigger
00:26:24mcuelenaerewider*
00:26:46kugelworks here (e200 sim)
00:26:57mcuelenaereif you go from max to 3, it'll first draw the wide scrollbar with the indicator-thingy pointing below, and then it will shrink to the smaller version
00:27:13*mcuelenaere can't really explain :)
00:27:55kugelit totally looks fine here
00:28:11mcuelenaereit probably redraws faster then you can see on your CPU
00:28:25mcuelenaereanyway, JdGordon| was against that fix
00:28:38kugelif that works, why not?
00:28:52mcuelenaereit's an extra redraw for all option_list's
00:28:52JdGordon|redraw that list twice EVERY selection change
00:29:11kugelremove the other redraw :p
00:29:21JdGordon|its the list handling
00:30:16webguestcant i just delete it from my computer
00:30:47JdGordon|oh for goodness sake.. read the manual.... its as easy as start rbutil and press uninstall
00:31:10kugelJdGordon|: e200r doesn't work with rbutil
00:31:22JdGordon|really?
00:31:27kugelreally
00:31:35JdGordon|I thhuoght it was the same once you did the first bit manually?
00:31:38kugelthe manual has the manual instructions though (IIRC)
00:31:58kugelhe wants to uninstall, and that's part of the bits that are different
00:32:27webguestso how do i uninstall the stuff off my e200r
00:32:29mcuelenaereyes==false and no==true in BOOL_SETTING in settings_list.c ?
00:33:08 Quit suom1 ("Irssi = Total pwnage.")
00:33:33kugelmcuelenaere: BOOL_SETTING can be anything, do you mean ONOFF_SETTING?
00:33:57mcuelenaereno, I mean BOOL_SETTING
00:34:13kugelwell, you choose what true and false is in BOOL_SETTING
00:34:42mcuelenaerethe default order when displaying a BOOL_SETTING is first the 'no' option and second the 'yes' option?
00:34:49mcuelenaere(yes and no according to the macro syntax)
00:35:08kugeldo you mean litterally "yes" and "no"?
00:35:13 Nick truthtaco__ is now known as TruthTaco (n=truthtac@adsl-74-7-10.aby.bellsouth.net)
00:35:42mcuelenaereI mean the "yes" and "no" in BOOL_SETTING(flags,var,lang_id,default,name,cfgvals,yes,no,cb)
00:36:25kugelno idea

00:42:00kugelehh, there's really no uninstallation instructins
00:42:15kugelwhich leads to the question: webguest, why do you want to uninstall? :p
00:42:18webguestso how do i do it
00:42:33JdGordon|mcuelenaere: you maybe should have done the scrollbar setting like ths statusbar... off/left/right instead of 2 settings
00:42:40CIA-61New commit by mcuelenaere (r22414): Scrollbar position: only update it when exiting the menu + FS #10539 by Alexander Levin (change the order of Left/Right)
00:42:41kugelno idea really, have you tried updating with an unpatched original firmware?
00:43:00JdGordon|boooo!!! the live updating was great
00:43:18mcuelenaereJdGordon|: this is the position, not the width ;)
00:43:22kugelthen fix it :)
00:43:23webguesti have to run it in rhapsody mode, which won't allow me to play some songs unless its in playsforsure mode
00:43:32JdGordon|mcuelenaere: ah sweet :)
00:43:37kugelcan't we have a F_LIFEUPDATE flag?
00:43:39*JdGordon| learns to read
00:43:44webguesti dont think i have any unpatched original firmware
00:43:48kugelonly do the redraw in that case?
00:43:49JdGordon|kugel: thats what F_TEMPVAR is
00:43:53mcuelenaerekugel: life update? :)
00:44:07kugelJdGordon|: TEMPVAR does the opposite
00:44:21JdGordon|yes
00:44:39kugelif (flags & F_LIVEUPDATE) gui_synclist_draw();
00:45:10mcuelenaereis Alexander Levin in here?
00:45:39webguestso how should i uninstall it?
00:45:57JdGordon|no. redrawing twice sucks
00:46:13kugelfor settings that want it (only this one) it's ok imo
00:46:34mcuelenaereJdGordon|: off/left/right sounds great, go for it! ;)
00:46:42pamauryHello
00:46:58JdGordon|I'm at work... all yours :)
00:47:55pamauryI have a question about MTP: did someone ever tried to implement it on rockbox (or is doing so) ?
00:48:19funmanpamaury: tomers did project to do it, not sure how far he went

00:49:44mcuelenaerefml: hi, could you commit your manual patch?
00:49:44kugelwebguest: download a OF from sandisk and update your e200r with it
00:49:51kugelthat should work
00:50:01webguestokay i'll try it
00:50:14fmlmcuelenaere: I just wanted to ask you whether you have looked into it. Is everything there correct?
00:50:16pamauryAnd is MTP a really wanted feature ? (question for both users and dev)
00:50:23mcuelenaerefml: looks great

00:50:40mcuelenaerefml: how's remote scrollbar width handled now? the same variable width for both of the screens?
00:50:43JdGordon|and yeah, any UI settings shuold be seperate for the remote and main lcd
00:50:52funmando the e200r use the same OF than e200v1 ?
00:51:33mcuelenaerepamaury: there was once a report on the forums of someone looking into MTP for Rockbox, but haven't heard anything about it
00:52:04kugelalso, statusbar and scrollbar really ought to be in theme settings IMO
00:52:33CIA-61New commit by alle (r22415): update for the recently added 'Scrollbar Width/Position' settings (FS #10538)
00:53:11mcuelenaereI just put it there because the original scrollbar en-/disable was there
00:54:19fmlmcuelenaere, JdGordon: yes, some settings should be split to have separate ones for the main and the remote. And maybe grouped differently in the menu.

00:56:25kugeljust add theme settings and remote theme settings and split all
00:56:34fmlBut to be a purist...

00:56:58pamaurygevaerts: are you there ?
00:57:06JdGordon|thats what happens when you dont care about spelling and grammer :)
00:57:16fmlWe could even introduce a struct for that. The question is how this would plug into the settings saving engine
00:57:25JdGordon|kugel: yeah sounds good.. want to do it? :)
00:57:39JdGordon|not easily

01:02:57kugelhmm, the cabbie statusbar doesn't look as nice on 220x176 (compared too 176x220) due to widescreen
01:03:29kugelcabbiev2 wastes a lot of space due to the giant rockbox logo in the wps :(
01:04:56pamauryIs it worth implementing MTP on rockbox or is it quite useless/fancy ? It doesn't seem too hard to implement.
01:05:40JdGordon|I tohught it was on the nodo list?
01:05:43funmantomers work should make this easier (dynamic usb drivers)

01:06:49LambdaCalculus37JdGordon|: IIRC it was discussed that MTP would make it easier for some people to sync with certain media apps.
01:06:59tmztfunman: r has different usb settings, not sure what you mean by same OF, it could be the same build/image or not
01:07:29funmantmzt: sandisk only offer a "e200v1 firmware", no "e200r firmware"

01:15:36mcuelenaeredoesn't MTP also have time sync?
01:15:50*mcuelenaere knows it has battery status output
01:17:58pamaurybasically, MTP allows you to read/write/reset nearly every property on any objet (object=file generally). This includes lots of things like date, time, songs properties, ...

01:23:29mcuelenaeredoesn't that use the 'normal' RTC on some targets?

02:47:09JucaBluesRecently I've been annoyed by gNewSense policies related to mp3 encoder availability and software patents plus my dad owning an ipod model not supported by rockbox which put me in a dead-end.
02:47:15JucaBluesI have read the irc channel guidelines and I hope this is not condidered off-topic. I'd like to discuss rockbox role in this debate.
02:48:40JucaBlueswhen considering my personal choices, I reach the conclusion that I'd like to know which portable music players support ogg natively and are also supported by rockbox
02:48:43kugelwell, you come at a bad time for that
02:48:55JucaBlueswhy?
02:49:09kugelit's usually almost completely silent these hours
02:49:14JucaBluesah, ok
02:49:48kugelto your question, the sansa fuze plays ogg in the OF, but is also (almost) supported by rockbox
02:50:53JucaBlueswhat do you mean by "almost" ?
02:51:21kugelthere are a few issues (mainly with some rare microsd), but it runs fine mostly and there's tools and instructions for installing
02:52:44JucaBluesnice. Then this is probably a good ethical choice for me. I want to buy a device from a manufacturer that supports ogg. But at the same time I dont want to use proprietary firmware.
02:54:07kugelalthough there are v2 fuzes yet, which do not run rockbox at all
02:54:51JucaBluesnow... my dad's ipod is not supported at all. Do you know why? It is a nano 2nd gen
02:55:23saratogawork started on that a couple weeks ago
02:55:37saratogasomeone just recently figured out how to run code on it
02:56:06JucaBluesI thought I could eventually buy him a sansa fuze and then try to help nano 2ng gen development
02:56:15UnhelpfulJucaBlues: rockbox is entirely a volunteer effort. for a long time nobody had a means to inject code into nano2g... now that that's happened work has *started* on RB for it.
02:56:56kugelIIRC it played sound already?
02:57:10kugelor was that on the meizu only (which has nearly identical hardware)?
02:58:15JucaBluesbecause my dad's mp3-only ipod forces me to install mp3-encoder in my gNewSense (which is OK legally, because Brazil does not allow software patents, but is ethically controversial)
02:59:51UnhelpfulJucaBlues: i don't see any ethical problems with using LAME, really
02:59:52PersonUm, excuse me, I put a folder of Ogg Vorbis files on my iPod (Video, 30 GB) and they don't seem to be showing up when I shuffle all. How can I get them to show up in the playlist?
03:00
03:01:10JucaBluesUnhelpful: I dont wat to support a patent-encumbered file format, even though it is not a local issue in my country, I'd like to think globally and avoid patented tecnologies at all

06:00:33JdGordonas long as that doesnt change (and it shouldnt) that end is safe
06:01:07Unhelpfuland you should then be able to allocate images up, starting from right after the tokens... allocate-down tricks are best avoided *if* you can. :)
06:01:09JdGordonI tihnk the danger is having the buffer_back grow and overlap buffer_start+"the data which hasnt been technically allocated yet"
06:01:21JdGordonyes images go up

06:04:15JdGordontokens that need data, the viewports, progressbars, even image structs
06:05:21Unhelpfulfor image structs, can't you grow those up as you load the images? allocate sizeof(struct bitmap) then make the bitmap data follow immediately?
06:06:03Unhelpfulactually, you could probably do that for all of them... load tokens in one pass, then allocate other data they need in a second pass?

06:07:27JdGordonno, the stuff which is allocated at the back end is data which tokens point to, its all statically sized so I dont think its bad growing backwards
06:07:48JdGordonthe image bm.data is set to the front to grow "up" when the bmp is loaded
06:08:01JdGordonthat is the actual RAM allocated for the skins
06:08:26Unhelpfuland i assume there are no gaps left, in the end, between the grow-up and grow-down parts of the buffer?

07:39:17JdGordongreat
07:40:04JdGordonI think we can make a case for shrinking the buffer down a bit, but I dunno if its worth it or not
07:40:49JdGordon20kb isnt exactly a huge amount of compressed audio...
07:40:56*Unhelpful thought the point was to make the buffer dynamic...
07:41:20JdGordonyes and no
07:41:30JdGordonthe main point was to use the ram better
07:42:33JdGordonI am thinking about adding a user setting for how much to waste, but probaly will get rejected.. "as small as possible" "tiny", "small", "medium", "huge" etc...
07:43:29*Unhelpful thinks that if dynamic can be done without onerous requirements, that's the best use ;)
07:44:04JdGordonwe can only go smaller between reboots, so some argue there is no point making it user choosable

07:44:57JdGordonit will get very interesting when the statusbar and fm are skinned though
07:45:10JdGordonno
07:45:49JdGordonwell, in theory the last one alloced could be shrunk. but no way will we do that
07:51:43Unhelpfulbecause it could just end up being broken when something else comes along to use buffer_alloc after it?

07:53:11*Unhelpful will have to think about incorporating resize of buffer_alloc'd buffers into his Grand Not-A-Malloc Buffer Scheme ;)

13:39:09pamauryLooking at the code, I begin to understand (I hope !): there are volume which are logical drives and contains filesystem and each drive can coutains several volumes, am I correct ? Them is there a way to know which volume belong to which drive and conversely ?

17:15:10TorneWhat do you mean?
17:15:26TorneThe patch in FS #8802 only toggles HPWR on the LTC4066
17:15:51Torneoh, wait, no it doesn't

17:18:41Tornethe USB PHY itself might draw a little anyway
17:18:42BBBradleyI see
17:18:44Tornehow much does it draw?
17:18:57BBBradleyabout 31 mA

17:19:54Torneonce th ebattery is fully charged it will draw less *anyway*
17:20:02Torne30mA is indeed about right for idle draw for the ipodvideo
17:20:08Tornewhich suggests it is still powering itself off the usb port
17:20:38BBBradleywell is there a way to not draw any from the USB port? Is the SUSP controllable on the 4066?

17:21:22TorneWell, I have no idea and I can't find anything on the wiki that indicates anyone else does
17:21:25BBBradleySo if I figure out do you want to know?

20:09:34 Quit einhirn ("Miranda IM! Smaller, Faster, Easier. http://miranda-im.org")
20:10:24amiconnSo they could only be used on certain targets, and that means either restricting usage to plugins which would run on those targets only, or even worse, introducing lots of ifdefs in the core
20:10:40bertrikyeah, the lcd controller frame buffer is already in system memory IIUC, so we'll both a "rockbox frame buffer" and the lcd controller framebuffer in memory
20:11:07amiconnI'm not referring to special ways to speed up updating, but things like hardware transparency, multiple buffers etc

20:11:47JdGordon|and the mr500 can do OSD also iirc
20:12:21amiconnProbably the earliest example was the old 'oscillograph' plugin. Originally written for the archos bitmap lcd, it used a special hardware scrolling feature, making it unportable to the irivers (which were newly added back then)
20:12:52***Saving seen data "./dancer.seen"
20:13:14amiconnInstead of working around, 'oscillograph' was later replaced by the more flexible 'oscilloscope' which uses framebuffer based scrolling, and hence can work on all bitmap targets

20:17:16mcuelenaereJdGordon|: yes, the DM320 has some 2D acceleration features and the hardware has its framebuffer in main RAM; so there are 2 framebuffers (I remember mapping the lcd_framebuffer[][] as the hardware framebuffer on the ZVM, but that gave the effect like if you would do lcd_update() after every lcd_* operation)

20:22:25n1samiconn: that's true for any special hardware features and of course the advantage of using the feature should be weighted against the code clutter imo
20:22:39amiconnsure
20:23:24amiconnIf an lcd controller would e.g. offer a yuv overlay, it should of course be used for lcd_blit_yuv
20:24:02amiconnThis wouldn't require any ifdefing, and the advantage of using it would be quite high
20:24:55n1syeah, do yo know what kind of magic the beast' lcd controller could do, i think i remember something about colorspace conversion
20:24:59JdGordon|but wouldnt the ifdef for these features be really low down?
20:25:36saratogaIIRC it can do colorspace conversion and hardware resizing
20:26:23n1sMrSomeone should look into using that :)
20:27:55saratogafirst he should get teh S to be a supported target
20:28:27saratogado we have a TODO list for the S somewhere? I've forgotten where we stand on it
20:29:24*Torne writes himself a note to remind him to actually reverse more of the S bootrom
20:30:02saratogaTorne: were you working on reflashing the S bootrom?
20:30:34Tornei'm working on grokking what it does, for several reasons. reflashing could be one, but the more immediate two were "why do later firmware versions not seem to work with a single boot bootloader" and "why doe sit reformat sometimes"
20:30:55amiconnJdGordon: That very much depends on what kind of feature it is. The mentioned hardware scrolling (or hardware rotation rather) wasn't transparent at all, because it needed a special function in the lcd driver setting the amount of rotation
20:31:40amiconnThe plugin (oscillograph) had to call this, and then take it into account when placing other elements (i.e text) as well
20:32:09amiconnIt also had to reset it on exit, otherwise the whole ui would stay rotated until shutdown

20:53:08kkurbjunthe MR500 already takes advantage of hardware transparencies and YUV frame buffers. It uses them in the mpeg player to zoom the yuv frame buffer and uses the RGB overlay to show the video progress
20:53:25kkurbjun(and other bits of status)
20:54:43kkurbjunthere is also DMA setup to make lcd updates extremely fast, but unfortunately it can't rotate while updating
20:55:00kkurbjunso that would force it to 480x640 when the natural player orientation is 640x480

21:00:21kkurbjunwouldn't that require changes to the way that all of the lcd routines work?

21:03:36n1slinuxstb: i agree with that
21:03:48amiconnkkurbjun: stars? Why should it draw directly?
21:04:00kkurbjunwell, I don't know if the OF ever took advantage of the dma hardware that way - I havn't committed it to svn yet since it still needs to be cleaned up some
21:04:28amiconnThere are a few plugins drawing directly - they would need a new #ifdef LCD_PIXELFORMAT == ... section
21:05:18amiconnThe question is whether the gain is worh the hassle
21:05:24kkurbjunyeah, doom and rockboy draw direct.. I was thinking of starfield −− I assumed that it was drawing direct, but I might be mistaken
21:05:26amiconnIt's certainly all doable
21:05:49amiconnMaybe also plasma, fire and similar
21:06:10amiconnThe xlcd pluginlib would also need to be extended
21:06:12linuxstbPacbox also draws directly, and I would imagine zxbox as well. i.e. all the emulators
21:06:25kkurbjunI think it would be nice for basic browsing −− right now even scrolling in lists with a rotated screen is choppy.. I think that the rotation code could be better written to make that better though
21:06:56saratogaso the remaining issue figuring out why non-dual boot installs sometimes get corrupted?
21:07:59kkurbjunright now it's not optimized at all...
21:08:34linuxstbsaratoga: I think the main issue is simply doing binary releases of beastpatcher and the bootloader, and making sure the install procedure is correctly documented in the manual.
21:09:21saratogawhats needed to build beastpatcher for windows?
21:09:46linuxstbSome MS compiler I think.
21:10:14saratogai have an unmodded S here, i can try it if someone builds the compiler
21:10:18saratogaor if i find a VS machine somewhere

21:10:52saratogaits a great piece of hardware
21:11:11*linuxstb looks around for Swedes to move the pp-bootloaders...
21:11:31saratogai asked last night and the issue was figuring otu what rbutil needs each one to be called
21:12:16linuxstbSurely they simply just need to be named the same as the current versions?
21:12:29amiconnkkurbjun: There's certainly some optimisation potential...
21:12:48linuxstbThat's how all previous versions have been released - the existing files moved into an "old" directory, and the new versions replace them.
21:13:36amiconnIt's currently copying in 16 bit amounts in a way that probably causes frequent cache misses
21:14:18amiconnkkurbjun: How fast are portrait mode updates but without dma?
21:15:47kkurbjunyeah, that's what I was thinking, if I had it doing a large read with multiple registers it would probably speed it up quite a bit- the hardware supports bursting at least on the DMA side in chunks of 32 bytes - I don't know if the cache does a burst but it may.. I'm not sure offhand, let me do a test.

21:23:57linuxstbbluebrother: What license stuff? If you're talking about mknkboot, I wrote that, so am happy to relicense for beastpatcher. It's pretty trivial anyway.
21:23:58amiconnSo the question is, are (guesstimated) 40..50fps good enough for landscape, or do we need that transposed pixel format?
21:26:46saratogawell lets release a bootloader along with the other PP ones
21:28:24kkurbjunamiconn: it is much smoother even without dma - lists are noticeably faster and games like bubbles are pretty playable. I think if it could be boosted to around 40/50fps rotated it would be smooth enough that it's not noticeably slow- right now it looks choppy when rotated
21:28:42bluebrotherlinuxstb: yes, mknkboot would be needed to be BSD too. OTOH I was wondering if going BSD for beastpatcher was needed at all.
21:28:49ej0rgesaratoga: the beast bootloader also lacks hold switch detection, iirc
21:29:26amiconnThe beast bootloader does hold switch detection, and it's annoying
21:29:42ej0rgeit does? mine doesn't. Do i need to update it?
21:30:10amiconnIf you accidentally power on with the hold switch enabled (i.e. connecting the charger or usb) it boots into the OF, and then you need access to a battery switch tool to get back into rockbox...
21:30:18ej0rgeall the beasts I've rockboxed boot right up with the hold switch enabled
21:30:32amiconnYou install single boot?
21:30:47ej0rgesingle boot, yes, on the ones that are v1.1 OF
21:30:49amiconnThen of course you won't see it boot into the OF
21:31:03ej0rgeI did one on v1.2 OF but i sold it.
21:31:18amiconnThe hold switch doesn't prevent booting, but it selects between rockbox and OF
21:31:31ej0rge*nod*
21:31:42ej0rgeI suppose someone might want the OF for wmp9 videos or usbotg
21:31:57amiconnImo that's a rather bad way to do this selection, but it's done this way on several other targets too
21:32:24ej0rgeI agree. better to use some button if at all possible, and have it shut down if booted with the hold switch enabled
21:32:27amiconnThe hold switch should prevent booting, and the selection should be done using button presses during boot
21:32:41ej0rgeespecially as the beast starts to boot immediately on first press of 'power'
21:33:01ej0rgenot like some targets that require you to hold down the button for a bit
21:33:54amiconnOn some (most?) targets this "hold down for a bit" requirement is implemented in software
21:34:31ej0rgeThat brings me to the only other bootloader question i know of - does anybody know the current state of the x5 bootloader with regard to the dual boot patch?
21:34:34linuxstbbluebrother: I thought that debate had already been had? (switching beastpatcher to.BSD)
21:35:08ej0rgeiirc there was some concern that the way the dual boot patch for the x5 bootloader works, it could be broken by a fw update from cowon. But that doesn't seem to be anywhere on the horizon anymore.
21:35:58ej0rgeI get the impression that the patch was written for the v2 bootloader and is now very outdated.
21:36:11bertrikon a few targets I've seen, the software has to do something to "acknowledge" the power up in order to stay powered on without the powerup button pressed
21:36:31amiconnBasically all...
21:37:29amiconnIt's just that on some target *rockbox* or its bootloader doesn't need to do that, in case it is handled by another loader before it

21:58:32bluebrotherwell, the lib comes with WMP10. Not sure if that could be considered OS. Nevertheless, we can't distribute it anyway
21:58:33linuxstbIsn't that lib part of Windows Media Player. I wouldnt' call that part of "the OS".
21:59:34bluebrotherbut even if that isn't an OS lib, is there a problem with the GPL linking against other libs? Did I miss something there?

22:28:01bertrikn1s, because the LCD controller wants it like that
22:33:24n1shmm, it doesn't have a 16 bit mode?
22:33:30bertrikthis will complicate the Meizu M6 LCD driver quite a bit, the OF seems to use the 24-bit mode

It detects a number of flash errors quite early on and resorts to jumping to the recovery image to get a new firmware

23:03:01saratogaUnhelpful: i wrote a tool a while ago that dumps the OF from the beast during installation
23:03:34MG_Man...Right well, sorry to interrupt, but I have a question that I think is too smal lto bother with on the forums
23:03:49MG_ManIs there a setting to change the general volume of .SPC files on RockBox?
23:04:06MG_ManSo far the codec for it ignores the "Amplification" tag of the ID666 for it
23:04:19MG_ManSo it ends up being quieter than other actual music
23:04:27n1snope, no such setting
23:04:35MG_Manhmm
23:04:36Tornesaratoga: anyway, yah. i'm not claiming that it's a showstopper or even professing that I care; i don't use a beast :)
23:04:49MG_ManDoes anyone know if there is work to add support for the amplification tag?
23:04:50Tornesaratoga: it's just something i expect to find he answer to in the process of other stuff
23:04:52n1ssounds like that tag could be used for replay gain or something
23:05:04MG_ManThat's essentially what it is
23:05:13MG_ManIt basically makes the file play louder
23:05:14pixelmathe correct track is repeated and tracks are still in the same "order" but the playlist is shifted so that the resumed track is either the first in the playlist (and the ones you already heard are put at the end) and one time the resumed track was suddenly the last in the list
23:05:37n1sbut no, i've not heard anyone touching that codec in a long time
23:05:41TorneMG_Man: that sounds like we should support it a la replaygain, then :)
23:06:00MG_ManIt's in an "extended" version of the tag, so that probably explains why it isnt there, but this tag is in most SPCs
23:06:46MG_ManThe problem wit hthat though is that the tag is not a decimal scale
23:06:53MG_ManSo 2.0 is not twice the volume
23:07:02pixelmadoesn't the recently committed DSP effect help there?
23:07:13MG_ManI think that affects ALL files
23:07:18pixelmaI no nothing about SPC files though
23:07:27TorneMG_Man: we can deal with the scale, but it still requires someone to do the work ;)

23:09:17pixelmaMG_Man: which revision of Rockbox are you running exactly?
23:09:20MG_ManThe plugin for Rockbox was based off of SNESapu which is an emulator for the SNES chip that plays the music
23:09:22MG_ManHold on..
23:09:33BdN3504for purpose write manual entry "ui viewport" first want import http://www.rockbox.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/CustomWPS#Viewports section from wiki but in doubt if everything there said right
23:09:46MG_Manr22050-090726
23:09:54MG_ManFor the iriver h340
23:09:56BdN3504say "If any viewports are defined, you cannot display text in the default viewport (use it for images only)"
23:10:13MG_ManThe codec was added in Feb 07, so that explains the datedness
23:10:35n1sMG_Man: has the upstream changed since then?
23:10:38MG_ManSomeone would just need to update it to the latest SnesAPU version,but I'm ntot sure if whoever made the codec before is still around for that
23:11:19MG_ManI'm not sure what you mean by that, still somewhat new to this
23:11:25MG_ManBy upstream
23:12:06Torneupstream is the project we got the code from
23:12:08Tornei.e. snesapu
23:12:29BdN3504this no true, i have written many a theme containing tags before first vp definiton
23:12:48MG_ManI'm pretty sure it has, let me go see
23:13:10pixelmaMG_Man: I'm not sure if it does what you want but there was an effect added in r22394 which if I understand correctly "evens" volume (makes silent passages louder, lowers loud passages' volume), maybe it could help there?
23:13:20MG_ManI'll try it
23:13:33MG_ManSince SPC isn't an actual wavetable format, I'm not sure if it does anything
23:13:36pixelmasomething for every codec though
23:14:02pixelmaBdN3504: yes, but I think it was supposed to be true
