00:00:43stripwax_Mm, after a reset, that's possible, good point

00:09:23JdGordon|oh goody!
00:09:30 Quit LambdaCalculus37 ("Leaving")
00:09:39stripwax_JdGordon - so, auto update does seem to be causing the thrashing. Disk check turned up a couple of lost file fragments which looked a bit like database data.
00:10:08stripwax_One thing I don't really understand, is if the thrashing *IS* the database updating, why there is no progress shown under debug menu -> database info?
00:10:42stripwax_(it says - Initialized: Yes, DB Ready: Yes, RAM Cache: Yes, RAM: 0/1506744 B, Progress: -1% (0 entries)
00:11:08stripwax_disk continues to thrash. I'll backup the database for forensics and just remove/rebuild?
00:12:01stripwax_I confirmed that 'database load to ram' setting on its own does not appear to cause the thrashing; only auto-update
00:12:46stripwax_B4gder - why is that good (or bad) ?
00:13:03*stripwax_ isn't sure if JdGordon's goody is sarcastic or not!
00:13:29B4gderI'm not sure it is either way
00:13:46stripwax_advertising is good; on the other hand instream of not "advanced users"?
00:14:26JdGordon|stripwax: always assume I'm being sarcastic.. its safer that way..
00:14:44JdGordon|Progress: -1% looks odd.. unless that means its not busy?
00:15:05stripwax_certainly sounded busy
00:15:29stripwax_Reinitialising db, let's see if it fixes it.
00:15:56JdGordon|I dont tihnk any active devs know how the DB works...

00:27:44MG_ManUuuh
00:27:50MG_ManRight
00:28:02MG_ManI have a problem
00:28:18MG_ManMy H300's battery completely drained and can't even turn on long enough to start charging
00:28:41MG_ManIf I try USB instead of wall charger, it turns on then dies shortly after, repeat, also it disables my mouse in the process
00:29:07MG_ManDo I have to keep having it restart until it can sustain itself?
00:34:45MG_ManOkay, it's stable now
00:34:50MG_ManSo nevermind
00:35:26stripwax_...

00:36:27 Quit Soap (Read error: 113 (No route to host))
00:37:29stripwax_MG_Man - can you use the original wall charger? I don't have an H300, but does it need to *boot* in order to be able to charge?
00:37:29MG_Man:|
00:37:39MG_ManI was using the wall charger
00:37:45MG_ManDoing that makes it unable to turn on
00:37:55MG_ManAnd I believe so, otherwise it would probably be on
00:41:23MG_ManWell this sucks
00:41:39stripwax_Is it booting to the original firmware? (or, at least, trying to boot to the original firmware)? or booting to rockbox
00:41:46MG_ManWell
00:41:52MG_ManIt never gets past the bootloader at all
00:42:10MG_ManIt does show the iriver splash screen if I tell it to boot the original, then it dies
00:42:54MG_ManIt also won't turn on unless a USB cabme is plugged in
00:43:00MG_ManA wall charger won't do it
00:43:03MG_Mancable*
00:43:16MG_ManI'll try plugging it into a different computer
00:44:25stripwax_Could you try leaving the wall charger connected and plugged in, for a while. Just for a short while.
00:44:28MG_ManIt's on the WARNING! BATTERY LOW!! line
00:44:49MG_ManWith or without the USB in?
00:45:15stripwax_without
00:45:34MG_ManAlright
00:45:37MG_ManIt isn't on, though
00:46:04stripwax_would it normally turn itself on when charging through a wall charger?
00:46:06MG_ManI'll check it in 5 min or so
00:46:08MG_ManI dont know
00:46:14stripwax_how long have you had your h300?
00:46:24MG_Manabout a month or so
00:46:33MG_ManI've mostly charged it while it was already on
00:47:23MG_ManOh, well what do you know.
00:47:31MG_ManI put the wall charger on it's own socket and it turned on
00:47:34MG_ManCrisis averted
00:47:41stripwax_what does 'on its own socket' mean?
00:47:47MG_ManEr, it's own outlet
00:47:55MG_ManNot on one with something else on the other slot
00:47:55stripwax_what was the wall charger plugged into .. before .. ?

00:48:21stripwax_could be coincidence, or maybe your outlet is faulty
00:48:26stripwax_glad it worked!
00:48:26MG_ManI used to have it on a power strip a while ago, I doubt that would have work so I took it off
00:48:29MG_ManYeah I think so
00:48:53MG_ManIt is, for some reason a 600w PSU for a computer makes the room die, on that outlet only
00:48:57stripwax_wall chargers should always work regardless of whether in a power strip, or their own socket. unless the outlet is faulty
00:49:00MG_ManBlows the breaker
00:49:10stripwax_ok, your wiring sounds scary
00:49:25MG_ManIt's just a faulty outlet
00:49:46MG_ManWe had a watt meter and it didnt go above 300
00:50:02MG_ManIt probably causes a spike at first which trips the breaker
00:50:20MG_ManOh well, I only keep small things on it now, such as an alarm clock and a lamp
00:50:34stripwax_rockbox cannot help with faulty outlets and cannot offer advice on domestic electrical wiring :)

01:40:52stripwax_Unhelpful - any old prng ought to work fine. main requirement would be low autocorrelation and high periodicity, same as any other prng used for audio purposes. mersenne ought to be fine.
01:41:51Unhelpfulstripwax_: that's roughly what i figured. perhaps i'll try giving codeclib its "own" MT with the state in iram, and see how that compares speed-wise.
01:42:31stripwax_good idea! when does pns kick in for aac (only low bitrates, or is it used for regular audio encodings too)?
01:42:32Unhelpfulmight also be worth considering SFMT, which is apparently both faster and has better randomness
01:43:29Unhelpfuli'm not precisely sure there. i guess i'd better figure out which, if any, of our samples will be exercising this RNG :/

05:59:52Unhelpfulsaratoga: interesting. how do you control that, exactly? nero's encoder doesn't appear to offer many flags...

06:00:16saratogaUnhelpful: Nero only uses PS below 32kbps IIRC
06:00:41Unhelpfuls/P/PN/ ?
06:00:57saratogathey did a public test of PS many years ago and concluded that the feature was useless above 32kbps
06:01:13saratogaPNS is used higher IIRC, but don't remember much about it
06:01:18Unhelpfulhrm, that method's probably not worthwhile, too many LUT hits
06:02:20saratogathough i don't really remember how PNS works, other then that it was some core LC feature that no one else seemed to care about
06:02:41***Saving seen data "./dancer.seen"
06:04:53saratogagenerally in the absence of some evidence to the contrary, when the mpeg group talks up some new feature that no one else on earth seems to care about, I tend to assume that one of their members patented it, and that it serves no functional purpose
06:07:43Unhelpfulheh. lovely. i can't seem to create a sample where the decoder actually enters gen_rand_vector. the debugger is also being a bit of a pain as gcc has optimized away variables i'd like to examine.
06:08:30saratogaUnhelpful: how are you creating these samples?
06:08:57saratogai would test iTunes AAC at 2-3 bitrates and if they dont' hit it assume that its more useless mpeg shit
06:09:09Unhelpfuli don't have itunes :)
06:09:23saratogai can make you some if its easy
06:10:07Unhelpfuli'm using the nero encoder. i'm guessing that i probably shouldn't bother with optimizing the PRNG for libfaad, since it seems it's used only inside a function that is apparently never called
06:12:32saratogathe purpose of the mpeg group is to create standards that impinge upon their members IP, our purpose is to optimize codecs for samples that actually exist in reality, sadly the two goals often have little to do with one another

06:13:29saratogaon a side note: "PNS is a lossy compression technique that is based on the assumption that all white noise sounds similar to the human being."
06:13:41saratogaisn't quantization error assumed to be white noise?
06:13:43*Unhelpful so wanted an excuse to port SFMT ;P
06:14:07saratogawhy is it needed to impose a method to encode something the decode produces automatically
06:17:36Unhelpfulquantization at which stage? time-domain quantization should produce white-ish noise, but at a fixed volume. i don't know what quantization noise in the transform space "looks" like...
06:18:51saratogaUnhelpful: well presumably quantization in the frequency domain produces a random error in frequency space which is uncorrelated with frequency, which is basically what the definition of white noise is
06:19:05saratogabut i'm probably missing something
06:19:24saratogai'm very biased in favor of WMA, I like simple formats
06:19:58Unhelpfulsaratoga: perhaps this has something to do with encoding "loud" white noise (greater than that introduced by quantization) by storing the noise level?
06:20:23saratogawell you can make quantization error as loud as you want by chopping off bits ;)
06:20:57saratogabut maybe this takes into account ensuring that the noise is really white>?
06:21:19saratogathat might take up some space, but i don't really know much about the statistics of noise

06:29:23saratogathe problem was that at the algorithm level much of the code was crap

06:33:47DogBoyis there a way to setup rockbox to stop after each track
06:33:49saratogaif you want to understand how to efficiently decode, looking at the ffmpeg or helix decoders isn't a bad idea
06:33:58saratogathe basic idea is the same
06:34:27saratogapick some thing rockbox does slowly and see if one of them does it faster
06:35:24Unhelpfuli'm somewhat afraid to look at helix, the *player* appears to be tri-licensed including GPL but GPL is not mentioned anywhere in the codec source :/
06:35:26saratogabasic functions like mdct, qmf, iqmf, quantization are essentially independent of implementation and the algorithm can be swapped between decoders

06:43:23Unhelpfulwell, actually, the ARM macros use long multiplies, but that doesn't seem avoidable short of using smaller coefficients. long muls are not free, though, and they also need an extra register vs 32x32->32
06:43:41Unhelpfulnot free vs short ones, that is :)
06:45:39Unhelpfulif it used 16 fractional bits, then multiplies could be done rather more quickly on ARMv5/6 using SMLUWx... also the fractional multipliers could be packed two to a register. i don't know if that level of precision would be acceptable though.
06:46:49Unhelpfulalso these are the CPUs that need the least help :

08:55:54UnhelpfulARMv5/6 have all sorts of nifty (and usually faster-than-smull) ways to do fractional multiplies - as long as you're using ARMv6 or your fractions are 16-bit
08:56:26amiconnBtw, if you just need the to 32 bits of a 32x32->64 multiply, you can even use smmul on ARMv6
08:56:33amiconns/to/top/

09:02:49Unhelpfulit looks like SMULWx would be a pretty decent boost on ARMv5 if we can accept 16-bit fractional constants
09:03:38Unhelpfulyeah, trashing a register for result you don't actually need isn't *too* nice, although most of the MUL_* macros in faad appear to use output shifts of less than 32 bits
09:05:13amiconnOn ARM1136, smull is 3 cycles (6 when setting flags) with 4 or 5 cycles latency, smmul is 2 cycles with 4 cycles latency (no flag setting possible
09:09:06Unhelpfultbh i wonder if the ARM targets wouldn't do *better* with C code for these multiplies, or with only the smull in asm, outputting __hi and __lo, and then the shift/merge code in C. the macros as written pretty much force a stall waiting for the smull output, where a C version could at least *try* to schedule other instructions
09:09:31Unhelpfulat least, i'm assuming gcc isn't going to schedule other instructions between ones in an inline asm block
09:12:40amiconnThat's a problem with many of those little asm macros, but not on all architectures
09:12:57amiconnARMv4 doesn't stall iirc. Same applies to coldfire
09:14:06Unhelpfulsurely the next instruction can't execute if it's waiting on a result that's not ready? or can those cores execute out-of-order?
09:14:09amiconnActually, coldfire could stall when using emac
09:14:40amiconnOn those architectures, results are always ready when the instruction ends
09:14:48amiconns/ends/finishes/
09:15:31Unhelpful((int64_t)x*y) >> x generates code equivalent to those asm macros on ARM, except that gcc still "knows" what's happening.
09:15:57amiconnThe downside is that more complex instructions always need several clock cycles. Introducing the concept of result latency speeds things up - at the cost of potential stalls
09:17:15Unhelpfulah, i see what you mean. delay == throughput, so there's no value in being able to reorder instructions for such cases :/
09:18:14Unhelpfulthere are a good number of LUTs not in iram in faad... it's hard to say how often they're read though
09:18:34amiconnBtw, the quite old SH1 already requires that one takes care about result latency, unlike arm7tdmi
09:21:44amiconnIt probably makes sense to let gcc potentially reorder instructions even for ARMv4, as it would help the ARM9 variants with v4 (e.g. Gigabeat F/X)

10:38:53Unhelpfuli'd start, actually, by duplicating output_row_32_native* in resize.c... especially because the M3 remote format is already support there as a main display format, and that remote works with other devices. then you'd want to add any other greyscale remote formats that are supported. i wouldn't bother supporting mono remotes, AA bitmaps aren't really readable in mono.
10:40:22kugelI'm not after greyscale or mono remotes
10:40:43kugelthe X5 has a color remote IIRC, and could show aa in the wps
10:40:45pixelmamonochrome main screens don't support AA in the WPS either, and the Iaudio one is the only greyscale remote (currently)
10:40:55kugel(or greyscale)
10:41:11pixelmakugel: a greyscale one which works on all supported Iaudios
10:41:13kugelthe first greyscale was meant to be "greylib"

10:50:38Unhelpfulyes, how else would the scaler produce bitmaps in the right format?
10:51:07kugelwell, you said the the only greyscale remote is already supported
10:52:26Unhelpfulit's *pixel format* is support on the M3, where it is the main display. output_row_32_native_* only support one format, the native format of the main display.
10:52:49Unhelpfuls/one format/one format on any given target/
10:53:43kugelok. I think I understand
10:54:24Unhelpfulso, as i said, you'd need to clone those functions and make one that outputs M3-remote-bitmaps on other targets that can use it... i guess you'd use output_row_32_remote and output_row_32_remote_from_yuv (on targets where the main screen is color)
10:54:37Unhelpfulthe second will actually be easier, as you can extract brightness directly ;)
10:56:57amiconnRemote AA only makes sense on the X5 and M5 atm. Both use the same remote as the M3 (where it's the main display)
10:57:24amiconnX5 main display is 16 bit colour, M5 main display is greyscale (but another pixel format than the remote)

12:29:49Tornei was trying to run my own benchmarks to see how much difference it made, but the benchmark makes the device hang which is bad
12:30:09Tornethe other benchmarks run by dreamlayers/buschel suggest that higher DMA modes are not noticably faster
12:30:27Tornebut I distrust test_disk somewhat as it is in svn..
12:30:35Torneat least, for measuring raw ATA performance
12:30:41kugelI'm still not sure if it's even possible to access the disk with cpu being in idle mode
12:31:05Tornenot at the moment
12:31:07kugelIIRC, idle on pp means that the cpu does virtually nothing and runs at a very low clock (32kHz?)
12:31:15Torneno, it just goes down to 24MHz
12:31:23Tornethis is a different thing to actually sleeping the cpu
12:31:34kugeloh, I was confusing it then
12:31:36Torneboost-capable targets have *three* frequencies
12:31:39Tornedefault, normal and boosted
12:31:51Tornethey run at normal when boost count is 0, unless cpu_idle_mode(true) gets called
12:32:06Zagoriirc idle turns off the PLL, which takes it below 1MHz
12:32:23TorneZagor: that's actual sleep mode, which goes to 32768Hz, yes
12:32:28Zagorah
12:32:33Tornebut that's only when there is no code to execute
12:32:39Tornecpu_idle_mode(true) still runs code
12:33:02Torneit's used for the radio screen (it drops out of idle on button press though) and it's used for targets where USB is handled by an external chip while in USB mode
12:33:40Torneit's not used for anything else atm..
12:34:44Tornei am just wondering if anyone might ever expect to be able to access the disk in future while in idle mode :)
12:35:16Tornethere's no reason why you *couldn't* right now, even though it looks like nothing does.
12:35:29kugelthe ata layer could simply force non-idle mode
12:36:03Torneit could, but that kinda sucks
12:36:10Torneit already forces boosting if the DMA mode set is higher than 2
12:36:24Tornebut that means you add the latency of calling set_cpu_frequency around each request
12:36:25kugelwhich isn't a problem IMO
12:36:32Tornewhich for normal disk access might be just one sector at a time
12:36:46kugelwell, otoh virtually all disk access happen during boosting anyway
12:37:02TorneOnly buffering..

14:01:35huelk_k i will ask them
14:02:12Tornes1mp3 has a firmware replacement for them in general, dunno if it supports that specific one
14:02:20Torneand dunno what it can do compared to the original firmwar.e
14:02:32huelk_are there other projects like rockbox, i googled but dont found anything thats nearly as good as rockbox

14:23:56Tornemy point is that the rockbox *project* includes developing the actual OS as well as porting it :)

14:26:18Tornethat's not likely to ever run anything that wasn't written very specifically for it.
14:26:27Tornesince 8-bit machines can't even support a 'real' standard C environment
14:27:18linuxstbarchopen is/was another project vaguely similar to Rockbox
14:27:21kugelnot? with enough registers and instructions, 16/32bit can be emulated sufficiently, not?
14:27:38kugelwasn't C designed in 8bit times?
14:27:39Tornekugel: well yes, but you wouldn't want to..
14:27:41Torneand no
14:27:49gevaertsTorne: is there something in the C spec that needs more than 8?
14:28:01TorneYes. 'short' must be at least 16 bits.
14:28:06Torneand thus int/long also
14:28:31TorneWhich means that if you have an 8-bit machine then *all* your arithmetic will be crap, except where you explicitly use char :)
14:28:59Tornecompilers for 8-bit machines tend to just ignore a few inconvenient spec details, afaik :)
14:29:08kugeldoes C really define short as 16bit?
14:29:16TorneI think it's defined in range terms
14:29:21Tornebut yes, more or less
14:29:36*Torne looks it up

14:30:54Torneshort, int and long can all be the same size, yes

17:23:53TorneNo, it doesn't need an MMU
17:24:15TorneIt's not particularly hard to port to a new device, really, unless the device in question has poor/no public documentation
17:24:22Torneunfortunately this is true for a number of our ports :)
17:24:56 Join dfkt_ [0] (i=dfkt@unaffiliated/dfkt)
17:24:59ZabaI was just entertaining the idea of building myself an audio player based on some microcontroller.
17:27:11Zababut rewriting all software that's involved in that seemed like the most effort-duplicating idea ever.
17:31:57TorneWell, someone recently ported Rockbox to the mini2440 dev board
17:32:07Torneas a stepping stone toward making a custom player..
17:32:12Torneso that kind of thing is certainly possible, yes
17:32:44Torneif you are sourcing your own components you will almost certainly have full docs for them, and thus a rockbox port is probably quite a bit easier than for any commercial DAP
17:33:12Tornewhat kind of microcontrollers are you looking at?
17:33:12Zabahm, why can't I seem to find a source download of rockbox, and only prebuilt versions...
17:33:26Zabaat the moment, various AVRs
17:33:29TorneThe source tarballs are gone
17:33:36Torneuse svn to check out the current code
17:33:38TorneAVRs are too small
17:33:41Zabareally? That sucks, svn is so slow
17:33:48Zababut okay.
17:33:58TorneWe don't currently support anything smaller than 32-bit.
17:33:59Zabahm, I thought it'd be ok with some expansion ROM
17:34:12Zabathere are 32bit AVRs
17:34:36Zabaadmittedly, I had trouble finding any in stores around here, but there were a few
17:34:39Torneno there aren't
17:34:53 Quit archivator (Remote closed the connection)
17:34:59TorneAtmel make other microcontrollers which are based on ARM cores
17:35:02Tornewhich are 32-bit.
17:35:34Tornebut the AVR architecture is an 8-bit system with a 16-bit address space
17:36:06TorneOh, there's AVR32 as well. Whoops.
17:36:10TorneBut that's basically a completely different hting
17:36:16Zabaah, yes, that makes sense
17:36:18Torneit's not really related to AVR at all except in the name
17:36:38TorneThey're also not something we support
17:36:46TorneWe only have toolchains/code for ARM, SH, MIPS and ColdFire
17:37:06TorneFor Rockbox you would probably want something more like the AT91SAM
17:37:18Zabaso it would be indeed a lot more porting work, if I insisted on that?
17:37:33TorneIf you wanted to actually use avr32 then yes, that would be a great deal more work
17:37:41ZabaI see
17:37:52Torneyou would not be able to make use of *any* processor-specific code
17:37:59Torneand you would have to get your own toolchain working
17:38:44Zabadoes "toolchain" refer to a C crosscompiler & friends, or is it anything rockbox-related I'm not aware of?
17:38:45Tornealso, rockbox is generally going to need at least a megabyte or two of RAM
17:38:54TorneJust the compiler and linker, yes
17:39:27Tornean external ROM isn't going to suffice; the AVR32 chips I see on atmel's site have only 32KB of on-chip SRAM or thereabouts
17:39:40Tornewhich is not sufficient to run rockbox even if the code i sin rom

17:44:00Zabahm.. some of the plugins are scary
17:44:13TorneWell, the plugins aren't required
17:44:18Tornemany of them don't work on all targets
17:44:25Zabaif I wanted doom and sudoku, I'd get a laptop :>
17:44:34Tornedoom doesn't work on lower end targets, not enough cpu/ram :)
17:44:54Tornethey're conditionally built for the platforms which are fast enough, have enough memory, and a big enough screen to suport them
17:45:15Zabanice
17:45:19TorneBut anyway, yah. If you *really* wanted to use AVR32 then it would be a lot of work
17:45:27Tornebut it's not clear why you would want to :)
17:45:45TorneIt's not really related to AVR in any way other htan the name and some of the peripherals; the instruction set is entirely different
17:45:54Torneso if you already have AVR experience then it won't hepl you with AVR32
17:46:22Zabathat makes sense, from atmel's marketing point of view.
17:46:24ZabaI guess.
17:46:24Torneyou might as well learn ARM instead, which is easier for us to support and is more generally useful in the industry anyway ;) (avr32 is pretty obscure at present, they are not doing a very good job of competing with ARM)
17:47:32gevaertsdepending on what you want to run, don't get a too slow ARM either
17:47:38Tornethe line between what's a microcontroller and what's a processor is kinda blurry and vague, and a lot of the manufacturers have odd definitions
17:47:46Tornebut *generally* rockbox can't run on most htings which are described as microcontrollers
17:47:47Zabaindeed.
17:48:13Tornethe kind of processor our targets use ar enormally described as SoC, system-on-chip, rather than microcontrollers
17:48:41Tornethough we could run on AT91SAM or similar ARM-based devices which Atmel market as microcontrollers, if you provide an external SDRAM
17:49:45TorneIf you know how to develop for AVR then you have a lot of the skills for low level development already
17:49:59TorneMoving that to a new architecture, even one which is rather larger and faster, is not too difficult
17:50:13Torneyou might have to learn a new assembly language, but hey
17:50:29Tornevery little of rockbox is actually written in assembly outside of the early startup code.
17:50:41Zabathat seems reasonable
17:51:05 Quit Sajber^ (Read error: 54 (Connection reset by peer))
17:51:39TorneYou might be interested in http://www.rockbox.org/wiki/Mini2440Port which is an ARM devboard that was ported recently
17:52:41Tornethat's probably hte kind of system you are looking at, anyway
17:53:20Torneyou could go quite a bit smaller *physically*, if you got hardware that was less targetted towards development and more towards prototyping/integration, and a bit lower spec too, but that's the ballpark ;)

20:12:09AmimanPLHi, I've 2 problems with rockbox
20:13:07AmimanPLHi
20:14:18AmimanPLHi there
20:14:44gevaertsAmimanPL: if you have questions, just ask
20:15:38AmimanPLRockbox doesn't want to update (i'm doing it correctly and I update daily) and it still shows version r23900
20:16:05AmimanPLI've asked but irc is very slow

20:16:20gevaertswhich player?
20:17:08AmimanPLsecond one is the tag problem. In the one case, I have solved it manually but in the second I can't do anything
20:18:02AmimanPLalbum is tagged correctly and is showing all the tags in windows but when I browse my collection on ipod I see the cutted album tag
20:18:10AmimanPLand rockbox read that value
20:19:03AmimanPLso I have 1990 - The Dresden Performance (with all 2 discs as one folder) instead of two albums - 1990 - The Dresden Performance [CD 1] and same but with [CD 2]
20:19:34 Quit flydutch ("/* empty */")
20:19:55AmimanPLipod, 5gen, 80gb
20:20:36AmimanPLi think that there is a limit for an album name tag
20:21:08AmimanPLi tried to convert the files from mp3 to mp4 but it didn't worked
20:21:37gevaertsdon't. Transcoding between lossy formats is always a bad idea
20:21:52*gevaerts doesn't see anything wrong with the ipod video downloads
20:22:38AmimanPLI'm doing it rarely and to no lower bitrate than 128kbps

20:36:54AmimanPLHi, I'm back
20:37:00*pixelma doesn't understand the \\nopt there at all in this commit
20:38:58pixelmaAmimanPL: shall I repeat my questions?
20:39:21AmimanPLNow, my rockbox updates correctly but I still have the tag problem
20:39:43AmimanPLyes, please
20:41:07AmimanPLthere is about a minute delay in messages from my side
20:42:23pixelmaif you could update now, they don't matter anymore. Abou the tags - can you tell us a bit more about the type of tags (ID3v1 or v2 or both or even Ape tags, and maybe if you have some unusual comment tags or embedded album art)?
20:42:53AmimanPLthe delay is greater
20:43:23AmimanPLok, I wil check them
20:44:11pixelmamaybe try freenode's webchat and join #rockbox by hand if you know how to do that, it's snappier
20:44:57AmimanPLapev2 & id3v1.1
20:45:07AmimanPLno album art
20:45:27AmimanPLalso, Rb doesn't show me it, even if its entered
20:45:51AlexPRemove the ape tags
20:46:01AmimanPLcomments - none
20:46:06pixelmaid3v1 has a length limit and Rockbox doesn't support Ape tags in MP3, I guess your PC app reads those
20:46:20AlexPCopy everything to id3v2
20:46:51AmimanPLso how I can do it?
20:47:21AlexPI don't know, there are plenty of programs to manipulate tags out there
20:47:30AmimanPLI can only edit the id tags
20:48:06pixelmause a tagging program on your PC to copy the content of the Ape tags to ID3v2 and remove the former (maybe even the ID3v1 tags)

20:51:38pixelmathe UsefoolTools in the Rockbox wiki might mention some other tagging programs and I'm quite sure you can find one that can :) I'm not sure what to recommend because it depends also on your operating system (and I can't recommend my favourite tagger for removing Ape tags :\ )

20:58:29AmimanPLi downloaded mp3tag to solve that problem
20:59:51pixelmaI always have trouble finding out how to really delete Ape tags with MP3tag, hopefully that was improved in the meantime
21:00
21:00:07tomerspixelma: C200 had no USB HID keypad shortcut for 'Blank screen', so the row in the table had an empty cell, which should have been removed in the manual for that specific target. I added these lines in my last commit, bu they were commented by mistake
21:00:31pixelmabut, it's getting offtopic
21:01:37 Quit solexx (Read error: 110 (Connection timed out))
21:02:29pixelmatomers: by why did you put the \nopt before the "next line" \\ and the close it before the next \\ and even keep the c200 pad inside the whole block?
21:02:40AmimanPLnew version is about 7 days old
21:03:10pixelmatomers: in the \opt list inside the excluded part
21:03:52pixelmathe & in that list is also wrong
21:04:34tomerspixelma: refer to FS #10652 - Manual: Can't use nopt inside btnmap
21:04:40pixelmaafter SANSA_C200_PAD I mean, it needs to be an %
21:04:51tomersThis was the only way it could compile...
21:04:51pixelmawhat?

21:08:25AmimanPLit needs minor optimization
21:08:45pixelmatomers: yes, I noticed which is nice but the placement of the \nopt is really confusing. I also had problems when nopting out complete lines for one target but only if those would be the last line in the table (or then not because the part is excluded)
21:10:08tomerspixelma: I agree this is confusing (Latex is confusing in general). If you have any neater way to do it, you are welcome :-) Or let me know how to do it and I'll do it myself
21:11:05tomerspixelma: BTW thanks for helping me with WPS (RTL issue). I'll probably do it sometime soon...
21:11:19pixelmathe SANSA_C200_PAD inside that still doesn't make sense and & in that list is still wrong

22:54:06LambdaCalculus37toffe82: The HDD1630 is pretty much stable and usable for daily use.
22:54:34LambdaCalculus37There's just no manual and the install method is rather funky, requiring you to go into recovery mode.
22:58:08toffe82LambdaCalculus37: can't we find how they do with the original firmware update ?
22:58:25LambdaCalculus37toffe82: lowlight was working on that, I think.
22:59:13toffe82We need more people with gogear 's ...
22:59:22toffe82people who have time ...
22:59:47tomersIn the manual, what exactly is \ActionQuickScreenExit ? I understand what it does, but I can't see it in apps/keymaps/keymap-*
22:59:50tomers?

23:04:03AlexPyour version of Rockbox?
23:05:00grant__yah, i got a M version of rockbox from liar, bc the other version didnt work
23:05:14AlexPreal words please :)
23:05:33AlexPyou can look at what commits have happened since the version you have
23:05:47LambdaCalculus37toffe82: Yeah, but from what it looks like, he's been rather busy as well.

23:08:09LambdaCalculus37toffe82: Rockbox also doesn't dual-boot on the SA9200, but I don't know if that's important or not because USB and charging are enabled in the port already, so we can probably forget dual-booting.
23:09:34toffe82if we can charge and transfer files, I don't see the problem
23:09:48toffe82is this something needed to go unstable ?
23:10:27LambdaCalculus37toffe82: For the SA9200, we can go unstable already but we just need to not build any plugins that require external artwork for the time.
23:14:44toffe82can we find some information on how it is done in the original update program looking at the usb ? If I log all the transfer, can we find something?
23:15:02LambdaCalculus37toffe82: Yes, definitely so. :)
23:15:29toffe82I will try to do it, if I find my sa9200...

23:25:07LambdaCalculus37toffe82: Do you happen to have another HDD1630?
23:25:18LambdaCalculus37Otherwise I can try the same with the one I've got.
23:25:25toffe82LambdaCalculus37: yes but no hdd,
23:25:42toffe82I have to try with a cf
23:25:55 Quit TheSeven|Mobile ()
23:25:57toffe82but the only one I have is 512mb
23:26:45LambdaCalculus37toffe82: I tried putting a 4GB CF into my HDD1630, but it doesn't seem to be recognized by the Philips updater app.
23:27:32toffe82if you install first on the hdd and make an image to the cf, is it working ?
23:27:41LambdaCalculus37Haven't tried that.
23:28:14toffe82the hdd was working on this one ?
23:30:06LambdaCalculus37The hdd still works.
23:30:36toffe82you should try this, first install the hdd and then make an image to your CF
23:31:26LambdaCalculus37toffe82: Shall do.
23:31:41*LambdaCalculus37 wants to get to the hdd6330 and get work done for that as well...
