00:02:34pamauryFlynDice: my question was more about reducing the buffer to 32-byte and sending a sector in two times: first time with the bank and then null the buffer and send the rest
00:07:13FlynDicepamaury: I thought the card may be expecting a full sector of 512 bytes but funman seemed to think it may not matter if it gets the full 512. Noone ever tried it. You could always just try it and see if it works?
00:07:57pamauryOk, but we could just continue to send a whole sector, just use a 32-byte buffer instead of a full 512 one (I think I'm not clear :))

00:10:05WalkGoodquick question, the old e200r build link isn't linking anything?
00:10:40WalkGoodthis one http://www.rockbox.org/dl.cgi?bin=sansae200r
00:11:20FlynDiceWhy don't you just try it by sending 32 bytesand see if it works. If it doesn't then send enough more bytes to make it 512? I don't see why you couldn't just use a 32 byte buffer, send the bank switching code, then zero out the buffer and send the rest of the bytes, but like I say noone tried it
00:12:01FlynDiceback later ;)

00:24:33WalkGoodic
00:24:36saratogaIIRC the R needed a different bootloader, but the rockbox build is identical either way
00:24:52WalkGoodthanks, forum question
00:24:55saratogai'm not sure why that link was broken then

00:46:23Tornewow. basically the entire boot time of my ipod is "loading the theme"
00:46:33 Part WalkGood
00:46:44Torneif you kill the theme entirely and use the compiled in font/icons/wps/sbs..

00:58:31 Part Ziphilt ("Leaving")
00:58:42TorneLlorean: it's nothing to do with dircache, as far as i can tell
00:58:53TorneLlorean: cabbiev2 just takes six seconds to load on ipodvideo 80gb
00:58:58TorneLlorean: i have graphs :)
00:59:16Torneand as a bonus if you are loading cabbie it somehow makes the step where it saves the mtime/size of rockbox.ipod take 1.5 seconds instead of no time at all
00:59:24Torneporesumably because some disk access is still going on in the background
00:59:38Tornedircache on or not makes no real difference. this is with all other settings at the defaults.
01:00
01:00:07***Saving seen data "./dancer.seen"
01:00:25TorneLlorean: so if it didn't take this long int he past then presumably the theme loading code has gotten worse.
01:00:42TorneLlorean: this is disabling the whole theme, btw, so no font, no icons, no wps, no sbs
01:00:44LloreanTorne: Well, dircache (on my player at least) is still obviously behaving weird though
01:00:54TorneYah, maybe
01:00:57LloreanIt may be that the slow theme loading is hurting dirache too somehow.
01:01:01Tornei don't have your player to test :)
01:01:08Tornebut seriously, six seconds
01:01:10Tornenot good
01:01:38Tornethe entire boot from the time the tick gets turned on until calling root_menu takes 1.23 seconds with no theme
01:01:46Torne8.7-8.8 with cabbiev2
01:01:48Torneeverything else the same
01:02:06Tornedircache makes it ~100ms slower to get to root_menu
01:02:11Tornei didn't try tagcache
01:03:58moosTorne: problem I noticed aren't related to dircache, I suspect r23258 or around it, but canot test right now (trying to fix my beast, any hand would be great:)
01:04:32moosit's even before dircache scan :)
01:04:51TorneYeah, the theme is all loaded before dircache is initialised
01:04:59Tornewhich might also be a problem ;)
01:05:04moos:)
01:05:23Tornei'm gonna put more charting in
01:05:26moosTorne: you know pretty well the evil beast OF, right?
01:05:28Torneat the moment i'm only charting init()
01:05:30Tornemoos: yes
01:05:40Tornei'm gonna chart settings_apply() as well to narrow it down more
01:06:02mooslike once a year, it make me crazy
01:06:12Torneoh, it reformatted itself?
01:06:21Torneyeah i haven't figured out the cause of that yet
01:06:24moosif you can check 23257 if you have all handy
01:06:25 Quit ivortheengine (Ping timeout: 258 seconds)
01:06:53Tornemoos: well it's highly likely that *is* it, but i'm just gonna see how much time it spends in each part for now
01:07:02Torneif it's sbs loading then that will show up on a chart of settings_apply
01:07:06moosI made the mistake to retry to get single boot runing (related to this loong boot we have those times)
01:07:20TorneHeh
01:07:31TorneYeah i've not discovered anything useful about that yet
01:07:50Tornewe had several working theories that have failed to be supported by what i've found so far in the disassembly but i've not been working on it for a while because it is quite tedious ;)
01:08:09moosand now things was reformated, but windows dosn't seems to recognise my beast well, then no possibility to use patchers
01:08:17Tornehmm
01:08:21Torneit shohuld always be fine to recover
01:08:27moosTorne: hence my *evil* OF :)
01:08:28Tornethe bootloader tries *really hard*
01:08:30Tornetoo hard, in fact
01:08:43moostoo much hard here? :)
01:11:10moosI still have a .zip with sendfirm, but canot have this running... In the past I recovered without pbs with vpatchers, but now... :/
01:11:45moosseverals times even, thanks Microsoft
01:13:17Tornei do know wher in the flash to poke to make it stop formatting the disk ;)
01:13:19Tornethere's a config page
01:13:22 Join clauwn [0] (~clauwn@deliberabundus.de)
01:13:29Tornealas if you stop it formatting the disk then all it does is just hang
01:13:38Torneso while you avoid the format, it doesn't make the device any more bootable
01:13:46clauwnguys, i have to ask some questions... my rockbox is not adding some of my files into the database
01:13:46Torneyou then would have to take the disk out and repair it with something else ;)
01:14:16clauwnhow do i force that?
01:14:24Torneyou don't
01:14:33clauwnand how do i fix that?
01:14:35Torneif it finds the files and they have valid metadata they will go in the db..
01:14:51Torneso i would guess it can't read their tags
01:15:11clauwnthey do have valid metadata
01:15:22Torneyou know this because..
01:15:25moosTorne: aie, I guess it didn't formated my 120gb drive, how to check now?
01:15:42Tornemoos: hm?
01:15:46clauwnTorne: because i saw it?
01:15:46Tornemoos: it will have formatted it
01:15:50clauwni can access it
01:15:50Torneclauwn: saw it in what?
01:15:57clauwnnautilus :)
01:16:00Tornemoos: this isn't a setting you can turn off
01:16:11Torneclauwn: unless you saw it in rockbox, that doesn't count :)
01:16:19Torneclauwn: can you play the files in rockbox by selecting them manually?
01:16:21 Join komputes [0] (~komputes@ubuntu/member/komputes)
01:16:24Tornedoes the right tag info show up when you do?
01:16:25clauwnyes
01:16:42clauwnwait
01:16:57moosTorne: don't remenber the circumstances, but I already updated the nk.bin without reformat
01:17:34Tornemoos: it reformats the disk if it doesn't like *anything* about it
01:17:50Torneif it gets to the point where it's showing the screen telling you to connect to the pc and run the tool then it's already formatted it.
01:18:04moosbecause it did take a while when it did formated it few times in the past. But when it updated without reformat, thesteps was fast, like this time
01:18:23clauwnTorne: now i deleted the two folders which it didn't get and now they are in the db but not on the HDD
01:19:06Tornemoos: it doesn't format the entire disk if it doesn't have to
01:19:11LloreanTorne: That isn't true, actually
01:19:21Tornemoos: if it thinks the firmware is bad it will just format the firmware partition, which is small and thus doesn't take long
01:19:24LloreanI've had it tell me to hook up to the PC and run the tool, and managed to reboot back into Rockbox
01:19:34moosTorne: I vaguely remenber someone found something about this non reformat thing but don't remenber. But now it stuck at this "connect bla bla..." screen
01:19:41TorneLlorean: hm, odd
01:19:42LloreanThis has actually happened to me a few times.
01:20:23LloreanIt would tell me to run the tool if I accidentally rebooted into the OF, but battery poweroff + reboot into the OF would get it to working (if I tried to reboot into Rockbox, I'd get that message again).
01:20:29LloreanThen once I'd gotten into the OF, I could get back to Rockbox.
01:20:30moosTorne: ah then it could just reformat the other partition, ok
01:20:47Tornemoos: it only reformats the entire disk if it doesn't like the partition layout, or similar
01:20:54Torneif it's just unhappy with the firmware it won't erase the main data partition
01:21:33moosTorne: ok. Then now you think it didn't make the works well and that I have to reformat the drive elsewhere?
01:22:19TorneLlorean: also, i just charted settings_apply and the bit that takes all the time when loading cabbie is loading the font
01:22:22Tornenothing to do with sbs/wps
01:22:25moosbizzare that it could be that silly, since it pass good all the steps, even if I re use the OF recovery/format combo
01:22:40TorneLlorean: takes nearly the entire 6 seconds inside font_load
01:22:56moosTorne: want me to build you r23257? :)
01:23:20Tornemoos: i'd rather you tested disabling the user font on whatever build you have that's slow ;)
01:24:24TorneLlorean: likewise for you ;)
01:24:25moosI canot test things without my beast here :/ just have my H10 and beast here (and no usb cable for H10, proprietary cable)
01:24:32TorneOh, yeah :)
01:28:14clauwnTorne: solved with some trying
01:28:25 Part toffe82
01:28:28Torneclauwn: what was the problem?
01:28:48clauwnTorne: .trash-1000 and some stuff
01:28:52clauwni had some config errors
01:29:03Torneah, yes, having files in recyclebin-like places will confuse the dtabase
01:29:12clauwnright
01:29:18clauwnit thought they were available
01:29:36clauwnbut i now deleted the trash folder and deleted the db files
01:29:41clauwnand then it rescanned
01:29:44clauwnso it works fine now
01:33:27TorneIf you are concerned about the PC recreating the trash folder (which it will), the best hting to do is probably to leave the folder there but put a database.ignore file in it
01:33:35Tornebut yeah, s'up to you
01:33:46Tornethe disktidy plugin will delete .Trash and similar things for you, btw
01:34:50saratogai wonder if the database could easily enough check for trash folders and ignore them
01:35:16Tornehm. it could reuse disktidy's config
01:35:18 Quit CGL (Quit: Saliendo)
01:35:20Torneor something?
01:37:07saratogai assume theres only a few possible names for these folders, maybe it could just strcmp a folders against the standard windows, macos, windows names
01:37:27Tornewell, yah, but that's more or less what disktidy's config is anyway, a list of those..
01:37:35saratogaah ok
01:37:36Tornewell, and the odd few other things like thumbs.db and the like
01:37:47Tornebasically, "files OSes like to create all over the shop that you don't need"

01:41:22saratogawell most of those will be ignored by the database anyway, i think its just thinks like a trash folder that are a problem
01:41:59Tornewell, it could be worth it
01:43:39moosTorne: how much time you said to go to root menu? I'm counting for the old version I have here and 1.6 sec
01:43:54moosHD based
01:43:59Torneyeah, 1.6 is about right
01:44:07Tornefrom main()
01:44:16Tornei guess you are probably counting by hand/clock?
01:44:21Tornestarting from when the logo comes up?
01:44:23moosyup
01:44:25Tornethat's close enough, for these purposes
01:44:28Tornelogo is early
01:44:32Torne<100ms into boot
01:44:48moosdidn't get those for my beast, and by far !!!
01:44:53mooshence the troubles
01:45:05moosyou could had some 10extras sec at least ;)
01:46:36Tornewell, the *absolute* times vary wildly between devices/settings
01:46:44Torneit's the proportion of the time spent in each task that i'm looking at

03:33:59Blue_DudeOK, got a lot of work done on different keymaps. There are quite a few targets that can be switched on for hotkeys without any more keymapping. But there are also many that need work. I'm putting a big patch in FS #11081 that has all the keymap changes.
03:35:35Blue_DudeAll the targets that can support hotkeys out of the box are switched on. The others have placeholder lines that show where work is needed, and are switched off. Some look like they won't ever support hotkeys but that's up to someone more knowledgeable than me to determine.
03:37:04Blue_DudeThis might be a good time to figure out whether we need to overhaul the keymaps in their entirety to be more consistent across the range of targets. Even similar targets have different mappings that aren't strictly necessary.
03:40:36saratoga_labfirst two GSOC proposals are in
03:43:17funmanBlue_Dude: how would you do that?
03:43:29Blue_DudeDo what?
03:43:39funmanoverhaul the whole keymaps
03:44:10funmanreading every keymap for every target looks like the shortest path to madness
03:44:10saratoga_labpeople's heads would explode, except maybe for the newest targets
03:44:56funmansaratoga_lab: :) even then, some keymaps were just copied from old targets
03:45:33Blue_DudeWell, there's always DevCon.
03:45:35saratoga_labi often wonder about our keymaps, I can't half the time remember what buttons do even for players I've used for years
03:45:46saratoga_labthough i guess having extra buttons i never use doesn't really hurt things
03:47:57Blue_DudeOK, patch is uploaded. It's a big one. Anybody want to take a look?
03:48:55Blue_DudeTHe code is the same as last night's. The keymaps and configs are different.

03:49:56saratoga_labspeaking of keymaps, did anyone ever have a good argument about making power off happen even if another key is held down with power?
03:50:05saratoga_labthis is driving me nuts on the Clip
03:51:25Blue_DudeBTW, the Clip was one of those targets that had a mapping conflict...
03:51:37saratoga_labi see
03:51:53saratoga_labis the hotkey persistent across reboots?
03:52:09Blue_DudeYeah. Same as most settings.
03:52:14funmanBlue_Dude: what conflict?
03:52:29saratoga_labit replaces the view playlist option in the wps
03:52:30Blue_DudeBUt you can patch it to make it reset at boot time.
03:52:47saratoga_labi guess you could always make the playlist the hotkey
03:53:24Blue_Dudefunman: I couldn't assign the same key to both the WPS and tree hotkeys. There was probably already an assignment that would have prevented it.
03:54:41Blue_DudeYeah, there is it. That keypress was already assigned to ACTION_SETTINGS_DECREPEAT.
03:55:34Blue_DudeSo something has to change before I can switch it on. That decision is better coming from someone more familiar with the target.
03:56:33Blue_DudeIt also goes to ACTION_STD_NEXTREPEAT. My, there are issues.

04:02:22Blue_DudeThat's what it looks like. But context points to standard, so wouldn't they both fire?
04:03:01Blue_DudeOr would just the first one listed in the switch/case fire?
04:03:03*S_a_i_n_t looked at messing with some keymaps...*once*
04:03:12funmani'm lost
04:03:18funmanaren't "settings" and "standard" separated ?
04:05:09Blue_Dudefunman: The keymaps can point to another keymap in a given context. In the Clip (as in most), after the context menu keys are listed, they point also to the standard keys. But both structs have the same key mapped to different values.
04:06:03funmanah right
04:06:11Blue_DudeI just don't know in a given situation which value would pop out from a given keypress.
04:07:34Blue_DudeThe first listed? i.e. the context? Or would the keypress handler keep looking and recognize the last listed? I would guess it would see the first and quit looking but I don't know.
04:07:35funmanif you want to make a change i can test it
04:08:22Blue_DudeThat's actually pretty clever if it's on purpose. If it's not on purpose, well...
04:08:38S_a_i_n_tThe keymaps are insane...in short. I wanted to try to not make it a mindblowing experience switching between OF/RB and gave up very quickly.
04:08:42funmanI pretty much copied the c200 keymap and s/REC/HOME/ iirc
04:10:26Blue_DudeI'm baffled at the differences between the e200 and c200. Sure, the c200 doesn't have a scrollwheel but some of the changes seem kinda random. I'm sure there's a good reason, but I have to check the manual to see how to make it go.

04:12:34Blue_DudeThat's why I wondered aloud whether there ought to be some overarching philosophy regarding the interface. Play always plays/pauses, long play always stops, etc. Just basic stuff.
04:13:33Blue_DudeBut I guess with hard buttons on some targets that probably wouldn't work.
04:14:07funmanhard buttons?
04:14:40Blue_DudeWell, bad name. Buttons that are already labeled for the OF.
04:15:19Blue_DudeSeperate play and stop keys for example.
04:16:05Blue_DudeThat would be enough to crash the "overarching philosophy" pretty quickly.

04:47:49LloreanI don't think we ignore too many button labels.
04:47:59LloreanI don't know about the newest targets, but e200/c200 and earlier we pretty much respect them.
04:49:21saratoga_labthe problem with the fuze is that using the home button for what you would expect means it would work quite differently then the e200 even though they're very, very similar players

11:56:13Torneyeah i don't think i'm reproducing the problems other people are having
11:56:24Torneso, i was gonna see if i can get this code suitable to commit so they can easily test it themselves
11:57:20JdGordonheck, I'd be happy with boot times from 3.0, 3.1, 3.2, 3.3, 3.4, 3.5.. on a consistant config.cfg
11:57:41funmancan we use the simulator for that ? :)
11:58:11TorneJdGordon: I can do that
11:58:19Tornei have been testing with no config
11:58:30Torneor with solely dircache turned on
11:58:43Torneseriously though, why is font loading so slow?
11:58:50Tornethe default font for cabbie is what, 40kb?
11:58:54JdGordonbecause font loading sucks
11:58:58JdGordonno, 60KB i tihnk
11:58:58Torneit doesn't take six seconds to read that from disk

12:00:07jeffpthankyou sir
12:00:25JdGordontheir boot problems must be a big jump between 3.3 and 3.4

12:00:54JdGordonhmm, no, 3.4 to 3.5
12:01:22Torneyah, i dunno what setting or target-specific thing they are tripping over, though, cuz it doesn't happen for me
12:01:40Tornemoos said if he went back to some old revision on his h120 the boot time went down to 1.2s from much longer
12:01:49JdGordonit used to be doing settings_apply() twice in main() which was removed very recently, which *may* have been an issue... and IS the only issue I added
12:01:53Tornei went back to that same revision on my player and it was within ~50ms
12:01:59jeffpdo i have to make an account to report a bug?
12:02:04Tornejeffp: yes
12:02:11jeffpblah k
12:02:14Torneso whatever they're experiencing either doesn't happen on ipod or depends on a non-default setting
12:02:54JdGordonTorne: are you logging to a file or RAM? for proper times I'd want it to at leats not write to disk untill well after boot is finished
12:03:22Tornei'm logf'ing
12:03:36Torneso, it shoulnd't interfere
12:04:37 Quit Luca_S (Quit: CGI:IRC)
12:04:46Tornebut yeah, i'm gonna reduce the number of chart points because right now i have 100+ during boot which makes main.c rather cluttered
12:05:02Torneand change what they logf to be something less ambiguous
12:05:12Torneand then see what people think about sticking it in svn
12:05:55JdGordonI dont tihnk its worth cleaning up and going in svn unless we have very clear objectives...
12:06:08JdGordonotherwise its just as pointless as the delta graphs
12:06:27Tornehm
12:06:28gevaertsOh, not very pointless then
12:06:32JdGordonsure its nice to know, but is juyst another place for whingers to object to features
12:07:16Tornedoes some part of theme loading happen in the background, also?
12:07:21JdGordonno
12:07:26TorneThen that's really weird
12:08:03Tornebecause having cabbie selected makes check_bootfile take 1.5 seconds
12:08:06JdGordonI think effort should be put into making main() more target independant... why dont we have a target_init() and stuff? only the apps layer init shuold be in main()
12:08:29Tornebut if you pick the compiedl in theme, check_bootfile is basically instant
12:08:38Tornethis is with all other settings identical
12:08:41Torne(and default)
12:08:54Torneit shouldn't take 1.5 seconds to stat a file
12:09:16JdGordondircache off?
12:09:24TorneYes
12:09:31Tornebut check_bootfile bypasses dircache anyway
12:09:48TorneIt doesn't improve if dircache is on
12:10:03JdGordondoesnt opendir() use dircache if enabked?
12:10:06Tornein fact, with default settings on my ipod dircache makes no difference to boot time except for the extra 100ms or so spent kicking off dircache
12:10:16Torneall the other boot tasks take the same time with or without it
12:11:05JdGordonI ask about dircache because of its thread
12:11:21TorneYes, but like i said, it makes no difference to any part of booting
12:11:26Torneother than inside dircache_init
12:11:30JdGordonok
12:11:31Torne(which is obviously very quick if dircache is disabled)
12:11:56Tornehm
12:12:00JdGordondoes the disk get a chance to spindown during init?
12:12:07Torneinterestingly check_bootfile is commented saying "we don't use dircache"
12:12:11Tornebut then it just calls opendir()
12:12:17Torneso, i dunno ;)
12:12:34TorneHmm, that's a good point
12:12:50Tornei would hope not :)
12:12:55JdGordonwhen is check_boot() called in relationg to the themes?

12:13:25Tornecheck_bootfile is the second to last thing called in init(), just before settings_apply_skins
12:13:32Torneand long after settings_apply which is what takes most of the time (font_load)
12:13:54Tornei didn't have time to experiment a great deal but it looks like not loading a font doesn't fix check_bootfile
12:14:11JdGordonand check_boot() is faster if cabbie is disabled? even though it is not yet cared about?
12:14:14TorneYes
12:14:21JdGordonde fuck!? :p

12:14:54Tornei don't know how any of the theme stuff works, really
12:15:02Tornebut this is 100% repeatable
12:15:26Tornethis was consistent every boot for a dozen or more tries last night
12:15:37Tornetheme selected: takes 1.5s, builtin theme: takes <100ms
12:16:17JdGordonthat makes sense... cabbie is disk heavy, builtin doesnt touch it
12:16:31JdGordonbut no part of any theme should be loaded untill setting_apply_themes()
12:17:14JdGordonexcept the font which is loaded in settings_apply()
12:17:18Tornefont, remote font, keyboard, voice, icons and filecolours are loaded during settings_spply

12:21:50TorneJdGordon: what's your opinion on wrapping function calls in weird macros? :)
12:22:05JdGordonTorne: a slight gotcha with timing font loading. for the main font, if there is a .rockbox/.glyphcache file the load will be slightly different

12:24:39TornejunkY_San: plugins exit when you exit them

12:25:41junkY_Sanit definetely works on the simulator, but i like that behavour
12:25:48Tornethis doesn't work on clipv2 hardware because clipv2 doesn' thave disk writing
12:25:59TorneIt doesn't really keep counting on the sim either
12:26:02Torneit just fakes it by saving/restoring
12:26:05junkY_Sani see, annother feature of disk writing
12:26:21Torneif you are seeing the wps the plugin has exited. :)
12:26:37n1sit could be quite nifty to make the stopwatch TSR so it could keep running afer exit
12:27:02Tornen1s: that might cause people to wonder why it stops when you run another plugin? :)

12:28:10junkY_Sani used the player for the first time yesterday and i like the RB volume compared to the OF
12:28:11n1sIdeally we should implement a prompt like: "Plugin foo is currently running in the background, and needs to exit before starting another plugin, proceed?"

12:30:53junkY_Sanwould it be difficult to bind "next track" to a key in the stopwatch?
12:31:26TornejunkY_San: if you can modify the code and rebuild, not difficult at all, no
12:32:35n1sgevaerts: btw i think, (hope) the hardest part of that will be the UI to handle switching between plugins and the allocation of memory of course
12:33:17n1sor are we going with "however many fits in x kB"?
12:33:21gevaertsn1s: I don't care about switching actually. I don't mind a restriction of only one UI plugin :)

15:03:11linuxstbIMO, "hard to implement" isn't a reason for "no do". The question should be "If someone implemented this as well as possible, would we accept the patch?"
15:03:31Torneindeed
15:03:55Tornebut i think jd is conflating this with his dislike of gating stuff based on binsize
15:04:07junkY_Sangevaerts: the file nvram.bin also needs to be copied to the player
15:04:33pamaurybut hard to implement things have to be useful, it's not clever to add a very complicated feature which will trigger zillions of bugs if only one or two persons use it, no ?

15:05:04gevaertshard to implement doesn't have to mean hard to maintain either
15:05:45pamauryno but much more error prone and will probably trigger more bugs than an easier to implement one
15:06:32kugelgevaerts: but often?

15:26:37Locke_FireclawI had a very rocky introduction into compiling my own version yesterday, just to get the 80gb classic HD to work in my 80gb Video.
15:27:08Locke_FireclawIt was a little flaky, so I started completely from scratch today on a proper Ubuntu install instead of the VB I was working from yesterday.
15:27:29Locke_FireclawWell it works, but hard locks when you adjust the volume either too high or too low, any idea's?
15:33:14 Quit tchan (Ping timeout: 265 seconds)
15:33:16linuxstbLocke_Fireclaw: Is that the only time it hard locks?
15:33:54 Quit robin0800 (Remote host closed the connection)
15:34:04linuxstbAnd what do you mean by "too high" and "too low"? And where are you adjusting the volume (i.e. which screen in Rockbox).
15:34:33Locke_FireclawSo far linuxstb.
15:35:25Locke_FireclawI'm sat at the 'now playing' screen, everything works fine with the volume set in the middle-ish of the bar, but if you try to increase the volume to say 0db, it'll just freeze & die.
15:35:30 Join togetic [0] (~togetic@unaffiliated/ibuffy)
15:36:15Locke_FireclawYou CAN set the volume if you go to the sound settings and set it to 0db before playing anything, and it'll work (and deafen you), but as soon as you try to adjust it while a song is playing, it'll lock & die again.
15:37:42linuxstbWhat changes did you make to Rockbox?
15:37:58Locke_FireclawTwo, well, three.
15:38:05Locke_Fireclawhttp://forums.rockbox.org/index.php?topic=23983.0
15:38:21Locke_FireclawJust the one's detailed there, to fix the sector size issue with the thinner 80gb HD.
15:38:30Locke_FireclawThat one is for the 240gb, but figured it'd work.

15:48:56TorneLocke_Fireclaw: I don't know what's causing your problem, but just for reference it's better to *undefine* MAX_PHYS_SECTOR_SIZE rather than increasing it, if this makes your hard disk work
15:49:14Tornethe MAX_PHYS_SECTOR_SIZE thing is to accomodate badly behaved drives which don't deal with this themselves
15:49:30Tornemost drives don't need it and will work faster without it
15:49:37Tornebut if it's defined it must be large enough. if that makes sense :)
15:50:02Locke_FireclawAhh, so on next rebuild, if I just comment it out? I notice what I consider 'commenting' is a #, I see those are already there, so is it a - to comment out in that config?

15:51:26Locke_FireclawI literally am only doing this because I wanted my 80gb to have Rockbox. lol My 4th gen 40gb only ever needed me to poke the installer, so I'm in way over my head here.
15:51:43linuxstbLocke_Fireclaw: So I assume a standard Rockbox build doesn't work?
15:52:04Locke_FireclawOnly because of the hard drive problem linuxstb.
15:52:09Tornelinuxstb: the problem is the standard rockbox builds for ipodvideo *do* define all this, just as too small a size..
15:52:32Tornei suspect that if the normal ipodvideo builds didn't have the big disk stuff in, upgraded drives would mostly Just Work
15:52:39Torne(but then the 5.5G wouldn't work any more)
15:52:42Locke_FireclawAnd from what I could find out there's no way to just change that particular setting without going through the whole rebuild recompile business.
15:52:59TorneLocke_Fireclaw: yes, unfortuantely this is set at compile time because it affects how much memory is reserved for particular purposes
15:53:17linuxstbTorne: But this is a 80GB drive, not a "big disk". So I just wanted to ask the obvious question about the standard builds.
15:53:27Locke_FireclawAha.
15:53:29 Quit kugel (Remote host closed the connection)
15:53:33Torneah, you also don't need LBA48 if it's an 80GB drive
15:53:34Locke_FireclawI can help with that one linuxstb
15:53:49TorneYou would probably be better off if you just undefined the sector size settings and left LBA48 out
15:53:52Locke_FireclawIt's a thin 80gb from a Classic, not the bulky drive from a regular Video.
15:53:56Tornethat will *probably* work on your drive.
15:54:01Torneand will be faster/better :)
15:54:35linuxstbLocke_Fireclaw: Yes, I know - you said that. What sector sizes does it use?
15:55:33Locke_FireclawI've no idea, but Rockbox threw a panic at me at stated that 4096 was an unsupported sector size.
15:55:39Locke_FireclawSo I changed it to that.
15:56:56Locke_FireclawOk, a little extra interesting stuff here, I just paused the song and I can crank up the volume all the way without it hard locking, and all the way down too.
15:57:09Locke_FireclawBut it will lock if the song is playing and I try the same thing.
15:57:21TorneWhen you say all the way up I assume you mean past 0dB?
15:57:39Tornecan you do it from the sound settings menu so you can see what numbers it locks at?
15:57:46Locke_FireclawWell, until the little bar goes red. lol But it does actually lock before then.
15:57:49Locke_FireclawSure, bare with.
15:57:49Torne(or use a WPS that displays the sound in decibels)
15:58:13Tornebecause between some low number and 0dB we are just adjusting the hardware volume setting
15:58:25Torneat very low volumes, or at volumes above 0dB, rockbox is having to actually adjust the digital audio itself
15:58:39Torneso if it's those levels where it goes wrong that's a big hint as to where the problem might be
15:59:04Locke_FireclawThat's interesting...
15:59:11linuxstbLocke_Fireclaw: Also, can you try and test other things? e.g. scrolling through long lists in the file/database browser whilst music is playing?
15:59:20Locke_FireclawUsing the volume menu in the sound settings...it goes right up, and right down, without crashing.
15:59:46Tornewhile it's playing?
15:59:48Tornethat's interesting
16:00
16:00:00Locke_FireclawIsn't it just! lol
16:00:03Torneso it's only if you are on the WPS *and* playing that it dies.
16:00:13Tornepaused, or not on the WPS, works fine?
16:00:27Locke_FireclawI only have a single album on here atm, so no long list to scroll through, I'm purely in testing stages.
16:00:31Locke_FireclawSeems to be.
16:00:34Locke_FireclawTheme problem maybe?
16:00:36TorneVery odd indeed
16:00:37TornePossibly
16:00:41TorneSet the theme to rockbox_default
16:00:43Torneand try it.
16:00:49Locke_FireclawIt's only cabbie, the default theme.
16:01:01Torneyah, but still. try rockbox_default, which is the compiled in theme
16:01:05Torne(veyr very ugly) :)
16:01:24Locke_FireclawOw, my eyes...you ain't kiddin...
16:01:36Tornebut it has the advantage of not using any loaded files
16:01:43Tornewhich reduces the number of things that could be wrong :)

16:02:55Tornelinuxstb: because it seems really unfortuante that people who upgrade drives on ipods almost universally run into this issue and it's basically caused by the 5.5G workaround
16:03:10linuxstbTorne: I think the Nano2G also needs it, but that's done by redefining SECTOR_SIZE
16:03:21Tornelinuxstb: yeah, nano2g works differently for good reason
16:03:41Tornebasically what i mean is, isn't there a way we can make these upgraded drives work without needing a recompiled build?

16:04:57linuxstbI would hope there's a better way. But I don't know enough about it. ramsize shouldn't really be an issue on those targets either, so we could sacrifice a little for convenience and simplicity.

16:08:11Locke_Fireclaw[cover] Alexander Blu - May.jpg
16:08:58TorneIt needs ot be called either exactly the same thing as the album title, or folder.jpg, or cover.jpg
16:09:07Torneit doesn't just look for any images in the same folder
16:09:17Tornesee appendix C of the manual for the exact list of filenames we check
16:09:43Locke_FireclawAhh, so if I rename the file to folder.jpg it'll grab it?
16:09:46Tornelinuxstb: the hard part is deciding whether the drive needs the workaround
16:09:48Locke_Fireclaw...wow, that's a lotta renaming. lol
16:09:57TorneLocke_Fireclaw: yes, and folder.jpg is also recognised by Windows and many other OSes, as a bonus

16:11:03GodEaterare we talking about the broken 80GB ipod drives?
16:11:05GodEateror something else?

16:11:19GodEaterisn't that enough of a test?
16:11:24TorneOh, they do?
16:11:26GodEateryeah
16:11:27TorneThat's much easier then
16:11:30GodEateryou get a DNF
16:11:33TorneCool
16:11:35TorneWell, we could do that
16:11:50Tornei'm talking about the fact that the workaround for those drives stops us from using lots of other *non* broken drives, installed as upgrades
16:11:54GodEaterI told people not to archive that forum thread :)
16:11:59Tornebecause those drives claim a physical sector size greater than 1024
16:12:04Tornebut do emulate reads/writes happily.
16:12:08GodEateryep
16:12:14Tornei'd like to fix that i fpossible
16:12:17Locke_FireclawJust need to find a theme that supports art now. lol
16:12:20*Locke_Fireclaw fiddles
16:12:22TorneLocke_Fireclaw: cabbie does
16:12:23GodEaterI remember this well because I did all those early tests on the 80GB
16:12:30TorneLocke_Fireclaw: it rearranges the screen to make room if the art exists
16:12:34GodEaterI remember having to read the bloody ATA INFO off the LCD
16:12:36TorneGodEater: ah right
16:12:45TorneGodEater: i'm also wondering what the actual binsize impact of LBA48 is
16:12:53GodEaterlearnt more about ATA than I ever wanted to
16:12:55Tornebecause having that enabled all the time might be nice too
16:13:08GodEaterI Can't imagine it's that bad
16:13:15Torne(LBA48 does actually *kinda* give you an extra featur even for drives that don't need it: you can load more sectors in one request)
16:13:21Torne(which makes large DMAs quicker)
16:13:27GodEatercool
16:13:29GodEaterI'm all for that
16:13:37Tornethough we don't load enough at once in buffering for that to help
16:13:44Tornesince we only buffer multiples of the chunk size
16:13:49GodEateruseful to know for future reference though
16:13:52Tornemaking buffering load 1MB chunks means you waste at the end some :)
16:14:02Torne(unless you make even more invasive changes to buffering)
16:14:25Tornebut yes, if possible without breaking anything *else* and increasing binsize much I would like to make standard builds work with upgraded/replaced drives
16:14:35GodEaterbtw, if writes turn out to yes be required to detect this, I was serious about the MBR
16:14:39Torneso that we can eliminate these monster drive builds which rot and do things wrong.
16:14:47GodEaterjust attempt to re-write the magic numbers
16:14:53TorneWe could just write to sector 1
16:14:57GodEateror that
16:14:59Tornethe rest of the sectors in cylinder 0 are empty
16:15:10Torne(normally, at least)
16:15:17Torne(we might upset people with custom GRUB installs? :)
16:15:24GodEaterscrew them :)
16:15:25Locke_FireclawBut cabbie seems to die when I adjust volume Thorne.

16:16:26Torneit sounds like you've found a genuine bug in there somewhere, but it must be triggered by *something* obscure, or we'd've seen it :)
16:16:42Locke_FireclawEither that or my crappy recompile.
16:16:52TorneWell, hopefully not.
16:17:05TorneIf you want to eliminate that one, try just *removing* all of the defines mentioned in that forum post
16:17:11Locke_FireclawIn my defense I did follow http://www.rockbox.org/wiki/LinuxSimpleGuideToCompiling to the letter.
16:17:21Tornedon't define physical/logical sector size maximums at all, and don't define LBA48
16:17:24Torneand build that.
16:17:32TorneIf that still boots and works at all then your drive doesn't need them
16:17:36Torneand will work better without them
16:18:36Locke_FireclawOk, how do I comment out again? with - +?
16:18:48Torneno.
16:19:00Tornejust change them to #undef MAX_PHYS_SECTOR_SIZE
16:19:04Torneand similar
16:19:15Torne#undef tells it to un-define them instead of defining them as particular numbers.
16:19:18Locke_FireclawAhh, right, got it.
16:19:29Tornethis *might* not work. i've not tried it ;)
16:19:35Tornebut it should if my understanding is correct ;)
16:20:16TorneGodEater: i guess i should just write the code and post a test build :)
16:20:27GodEaterit shouldn't take long :)
16:20:32TorneGodEater: if reads are sufficient then it's trivial to just read sector 1 and see if it succeeds
16:20:43GodEaterI'm ready to guarantee it won't
16:20:49Torneand if so, ignore ATA IDENTIFY's sector size and just set the value to 1
16:21:08Tornethen post a test build and ask all the people with replaced/upgraded disks to try it
16:21:23Torne(i have a 5.5G with a stock disk to try on)
16:22:40Locke_FireclawTorne: I think I love you.
16:22:47Locke_FireclawWas has album art. :D
16:22:58Tornewell, next time read the manual and you'll have album art without help ;)
16:23:34Locke_FireclawBut alas, still a volume crash with a theme, not cabbie this time either.
16:23:48TorneRight, so that's useful information
16:24:05Tornenot sure quite how to reproduce htough :0
16:24:24GodEaterlinuxstb: apologies for missing your question earlier - did you find out who/what they/it /are/is ?
16:25:03Locke_FireclawI think it's only with extremes of volume, probably past 0db
16:25:04linuxstbGodEater: Sort of... It's an itunes-like app for WIndows and OS X?
16:25:13GodEaterpretty much
16:25:21GodEaterbut without actually having to have an ipod
16:25:25GodEaterit supports many devices
16:25:33TorneLocke_Fireclaw: right, but if it works when paused, or when not showing the wps, or when using the builtin theme, then it can't really be a bug in the code that adjusts the volume
16:25:39TorneIt must be a bug in the code that displays the WPS
16:25:43GodEaterbut Rockbox'd iPods in particular confuse it
16:28:02linuxstbGodEater: I had a quick look at the xml though, and some things seem odd. For example, you specify folder names for music, video, photos etc in there - so users don't seem to get a choice.
16:28:29GodEaterlinuxstb: yes, that annoyed me too :(
16:28:43GodEaterbut I guess for people who wanted to use it, they wouldn't really care
16:28:55GodEaterso we could specify "Rockbox_Music" or somesuch
16:30:28Tornelinuxstb: the assumption on the media players' part is that users *don't* get a choice, though
16:30:38Tornewhich is pretty standard :)
16:30:43GodEateryeah, it's pretty rare that you do
16:30:52GodEaterwe are one big edge case
16:31:12Tornethey also assume, reasonably, that players have a fixed set of formats they support which is unlikely to change :0
16:31:40GodEaterthat disappointed me a whole lot more - I thought dT supported more formats than it turns out it does

16:40:57Locke_FireclawThanks again for all your help, it's much appreciated.

17:00:09S_a_i_n_tBeen scrolling up a little...anyone able to shed any light on the "changing volume in the WPS hardlocks the player" thing?
17:00:16S_a_i_n_t...seems *very* odd.

17:02:19TorneS_a_i_n_t: yeah we have no idea
17:02:28Tornebut from the sound of his last comment he has found other problems too
17:02:32Torneso maybe there is a more general issue with his player

17:06:03Tornewell no, not relaly
17:06:23Torneif the problem wasn't conditional on some unknown probably obscure thing then someone would've noticed by now already :)
17:06:45Tornethe fact that a user even has this issue without us knowing why already suggests it's based on something pretty obscure ;)
17:07:49S_a_i_n_tMy immediate thought is he's pissed around with something he forgot about, seeing an "svn diff" might of been a good thing to check.
17:08:16*Torne shrugs
17:08:22Tornewe'll see I guess :)
17:08:38Torneit has reminded me that I want to fix it so people don't *have* to do custom builds when they use nonstandard drives.
17:08:45Tornewhich would eliminate that as a possible cause ;)
17:09:01Torneso maybe i'll test htat later
17:09:21S_a_i_n_tyes, wouldn;t that require some pretty interesting ifdef's though?
17:10:16Tornenope.
17:10:19S_a_i_n_tI always assumed there was some level of fuckery that prevented "bigdisk" builds being offered.
17:10:43Torneunless i misunderstand entirely it's not much of a problem at all
17:11:00Tornethe problem is actually that the workaround to make the 5.5G ipod disk work *breaks* support for loads of otherwise perfectly good disks
17:11:06Tornewhich would've worked fine without 5.5G support
17:11:14S_a_i_n_tthe 5.5G bigdisk fiends will be pleased... ;)
17:11:28Tornewe just need to test the disk to make sure it really can do unaligned reads/writes
17:11:35Torneand if so we don't *need* to do the workaround.
17:11:45Torneand thus it doesn't matter if the allocated buffer for the workaround is too small for this disk.
17:12:00S_a_i_n_thuh...
17:12:05TorneThis will then work for the 5.5G disk and also for any old non-broken disk that emulates single sector accesses correctly
17:12:09S_a_i_n_twell, the theory seems simple enough.
17:12:26Torneit would only fail if someone has a disk which doesn't emulate single sector accesses *and* has a sector size >1024
17:12:40Torneso, yeah, i may try this out later
17:13:28Tornethen try enabling lba48 as well, since i don't think the binsize impact should be very much
17:13:40Torneand then the bigdisk builds can die and there will be a lot less people using unsupported builds ;)
17:14:03gevaertsTorne: make sure you measure the boot time impact of all this! ;)
17:14:11Tornegevaerts: Conveniently.. :)

17:34:49Tornewe might want __LINE__ in there as well?
17:34:57gevaertsTorne: I guess we can't use fancy linker tricks? :)
17:35:04Tornegevaerts: I thought of that
17:35:08Torneit's a bit tricky

17:36:28gevaertsline numbers might be good. I suspect there's no robust way to make this less visible
17:36:39TorneYeah, it's very hard to not have it intrude on the source
17:36:44TorneI wasn't going to put one on *everything*
17:36:48Torneonly the likely culprits
17:36:55Tornebecause the times *between* them still tell you about everything inbetween
17:37:04gevaertsYou could play games with #defines to redefine the function calls to some wrapper, but that's going to cause headaches
17:37:38TorneCHART_CALL to me seems less intrusive than spelling out function names again
17:37:48TorneCHART("tagcache_init"); tagcache_init();
17:37:55Torneis even *more* lines :)
17:38:06gevaertsYes, that's really bad and errorprone
17:38:20Torneat least with doing CHART_CALL you can only accidentally omit it
17:38:31Tornewhich as i say doesn't destroy the usefulness of the data, just the resolutoin
17:39:08Tornethe code i was using last night *only* used __LINE__ which is less intrusive but make sit really hard to interpret and compare results
17:39:13gevaertsWhat I was briefly considering was #define tagcache_init() _tagcache_init() and then CHART_CALL(tagcache_init());
17:39:18TorneYeah
17:39:24TorneThat's a huge pain in the ass as well though
17:39:38Torneyou have to go and redefine it in the places where the functions are *implemented* then
17:39:46TorneI want to keep most of the charting in places like main.c, settings.c
17:39:53gevaertsexactly
17:40:01Tornenot in the individual iplementations unless someone feels it's needed in that level of detail for a particular thing
17:40:23Tornethe BC: prefix is so you can filter it from other logf's
17:40:43Torneand comma so you can treat it as CSV and load it into a spreadsheet :)

18:09:46linuxstbTorne: IMO, CHART_CALL() is ugly everywhere. I know it's harder to write, but I would find the CHART_STR() syntax far easier on the eyes when reading the code. It's more obvious what is happening, without knowing what those macros do.
18:10:18Tornehm
18:10:39linuxstbBut that's just me...
18:10:49Tornewell, i am not exactly supe rhappy with it :)
18:11:16Tornei'd like to do it with metaprogramming but C doesn't have any worth the name ;)
18:12:04linuxstbWhat about simply adding CHART_STR() inside the function itself? But I guess that won't work if the functions have many return points...
18:12:26Torneit also means they keep getting issued, for functoins which are used after boot
18:12:34linuxstbYep...
18:13:00Tornewell, i am not proposing we add a lot of these. :)
18:13:08Torneright now I have, hmm..
18:13:56Torne20 in main.c, 9 in settings.c, and two in gui/skin_engine/theme_settings.c
18:14:10Tornewhich as far as i can see covers bascially everything that hits the disk or has an involved parse/setup step
18:14:31Torneup to the point where we call root_menu() which I am currently considering to be "the end of booting"
18:15:02Torneso yeah, it could be done with explicit strings seperate from the calls
18:15:22Tornei am happy to go whichever way people think best
18:15:38Tornebut at least with CHART_CALL the messages are guaranteed to be accurate..

18:35:51Torneit compiles. i'll try it when i get home and make sure that 1) it works 2) the gaps between the chart points are small
18:36:43Tornei guess whether to keep CHART_CALL is the major thing

19:48:57shaiHi :) So is it correct that rockbox won't work on iPod Classic 7th gen?
19:49:53gevaertsthat's extremely correct
19:50:08shaiYou recall my issue with the iPod yesterday?
19:50:24shaiWell, I don't think that my issues ended with just re-installing RB
19:50:38shaiSo I'm considering getting a new iPod... but I shouldn't get something very new then?
19:50:50shaiTouch doesn't work, new gens of Classic won't work...
19:51:01shaiSo I should only get old gens on eBay?
19:51:08gevaertsI'd recommend first reformatting the disk, and if that doesn't help just replacing the disk
19:51:31shaigevaerts, I might even have a battery issue...
19:51:55gevaertsWell, the list of supported players is in a prominent spot on our website
19:52:37shaiWhen I turn it off, for a min (or so), I see a black screen with a battery icon in the middle, with a triangle and an exclamation mark.
19:52:53gevaertsthat's expected
19:53:17shaiWhat is? The batt. issue or the black screen with the icons I mentioned?
19:53:20gevaertsyes
19:53:35 Quit TillW (Quit: TillW)
19:53:43shaiAgain, "yes" to which one?
19:54:10gevaertsthe battery icon. Do you have other battery issues?
19:54:25shaiI don't think so...
19:54:29 Join arun [0] (~arun@unaffiliated/sindian)
19:54:41shaiBut I don't recall ever seeing that when I power off the iPod ...
19:54:53gevaertsIt's a side effect of an attempted solution of a problem that makes some ipods not boot every now and then
19:55:21shaiThat icon is a side effect?
19:55:40shaiThat sounds so strange :)
19:56:10S_a_i_n_tI have an .sbs fail...when I load an .sbs I've just made, it shows the "rewind" icon for the playmode. I'll pastebin the .sbs, but from what I can see. the .sbs is fine and this is some odd bug.
19:56:27 Join Stephen__ [0] (~S@86.45.50.221)
19:56:31gevaertsshai: I know. It's a fact nevertheless...
19:56:32S_a_i_n_tshai: there's a *possible* fix for that issue being tested now.
19:56:44S_a_i_n_tbut the "issue" is purely cosmetic.
19:57:03shaiS_a_i_n_t, odd ... who's working on that solution you speak of, Apple?
19:57:19S_a_i_n_tApple has *NOTHING* to do with this...
19:57:27shaiOh !?
19:57:35gevaertsshai: well, yes and no. There's been some weird things reported since that fix went in, so there might be more going on
19:57:50gevaertsS_a_i_n_t: that was for you...
19:58:02shaiSo you're saying that icon when I power it off, is from RB and not the iPod itself?
19:58:08gevaertsno
19:58:13S_a_i_n_tshai: yes.
19:58:16shailol
19:58:22S_a_i_n_twait...huh?
19:58:23shaiYou guys need to get on the same page :)
19:58:40gevaertsThe icon is from the OF, but it's triggered by rockbox behaviour
19:58:58shaiWhat is OF short for?
19:59:00S_a_i_n_tI was under the understanding it was from the "shutdown "fix"", am I wrong?
19:59:16gevaertsOriginal Firmware
19:59:22shaiOk...
19:59:31shaiSo this is cosmetic. I can live with that for now.
19:59:33gevaertsS_a_i_n_t: the "fix" is to invoke some OF code at shutdown time
19:59:49shaiSo you think I should just Format the FS again and if all else fails, replace the HDD?
20:00
20:00:12shaiI've already opened the iPod today to try and see if there is an issue with the connection...
20:00:17shaiFor the bat.
20:00:22gevaertsYes. Possibly you can use the diagnostic mode to do a disk check. Don't ask me how though...
20:00:23shaiAnd there was no issue.
20:01:03shaiThing is, that after I left yesterday, and started driving to meet up with my friends, after you, gevaerts, helped me get it to load the FW, it shut off the iPod every min or two after playing the new songs.
20:01:20shaiSo I think (not sure), that I still have issues, but not sure where they lay yet.
20:01:34shaiCould be that the FS is screwed, and that I really do need to format it and start from scratch...
20:01:36shaiNot sure...
20:01:52S_a_i_n_twhat type of iPod is this?
20:01:56shaiIs it as easy as formatting drive H:\ and re-installing RB?
20:02:05shaiiPod Classic 5th gen.
20:02:08shai30gb
20:02:22gevaertsIt should be, yes. Remember to format it as FAT32, not NTFS
20:02:28shaiYea,
20:02:33shaiOf course....

23:17:48archivatorhowever, bear in mind that the voicing process is more wasteful and is where most resources are wasted (or rather, left unused)
23:18:10bluebroth3ron my mac encoding takes longer than voicing
23:18:28bluebroth3rat least judging from the progress bar :)
23:18:49domonokysounds good, sure the voicing could need improvements too, but lets do one at the time :-)
23:19:39domonokyand for the voices it more difficult to make sure all engines still work..
23:19:48archivatorSpeaking of Mac, domonoky, do you think TTSCarbon can be parallelized in the same way or do we need to add a special method to check if the engine can run in parallel?
23:19:55domonokydid you try what lame does with this paralell encoding ?
23:20:20archivatorWell, TTSExes and Festival are straight-forward. TTSCarbon and SAPI is where the trouble's at.
23:20:58archivatorno, I don't use lame. No reason why it shouldn't work - it's just a QProcess wrapper anyway

23:26:44archivatorYeah but that's not a universal solution..
23:27:24archivatorThat would mean 2 server processes for festival (initialization is slow) when 1 can serve 2 clients easily
23:28:25domonokyunless TTSCarbon would handle that internally. Ie create a second voice channel, if current already in use.
23:28:26*bluebroth3r rechecks with apple docs

23:29:43archivatorAnd then handle the two different cases. Kinda ugly but it would work.
23:29:54bluebroth3rIf SpeakText is called while the channel is currently busy speaking the contents of a prior text buffer, it immediately stops speaking from the prior buffer and begins speaking from the new text buffer as soon as possible.
23:29:59archivatorOr even easier, tts->canParallelize() and just don't bother with TTSCarbon :)
23:30:12bluebroth3rok, so it's definitely not possible without using different channels.
23:30:12domonokythat would be better.
23:30:39domonokybluebroth3r: could you test if the channel is busy, and create a new one if needed ?
23:33:28bluebroth3ryes, there's a SpeechBusy() call. Would need quite a few changes though, as the channel is currently created in start() and destroyed in stop()
23:33:30archivatordomonoky: having just 2 channels is hacky - what about a quad core mac? It's kinda hard to code and misses the whole point of QtConcurrent
23:35:03archivatorIf we want parallel voicing for all engines, we should go with parallelizeMode(). If not, go with the other option.
23:35:24domonokybluebroth3r: does start and stop need noticable time ? if not we could create it on demand for every voice call, and have it working in paralell.
23:36:28bluebroth3rdomonoky: no, it's fast. I've put it there to not create a new channel on each voice() call.
23:37:19bluebroth3rthe clean solution would be to still do so, and keep a map with channel -> used elements. Then add a new element if no unused channel is available, and dispose all unused channels but one in voice()
23:38:27archivatorbluebroth3r: that's the cleanest solution, yes, but it's beyond my expertise :) I'd like to get voicing parallel tonight, possibly tomorrow :)

23:44:51bluebroth3rsomewhat different: I'd like to get a new rbutil release done in the not to far future, especially due to that bootloader installation bug
23:45:29domonokyand we have 3 new targets in rbutil.
23:45:36amiconnlinuxstb: Oh. Do you know what the OF is using the TI DSP for?

23:46:47bluebroth3rdomonoky: it's 4 now :)
23:47:03domonoky:-)
23:47:05bluebroth3rthough I consider the bugfix more important than the new targets
23:47:09linuxstbamiconn: Video I expect.
23:47:39linuxstbamiconn: I can't remember what formats the OF handles though. scorche now has that av300.
23:47:58domonokybluebroth3r: sure, but its another point for a new release. :-)

23:50:11linuxstbamiconn: google tells me it plays MPEG-4 SP with MP3 audio up to 640x272@25fps. It also plays WMA up to 160kbps.
23:50:52amiconnWell MP3 is handled by the MAS. That leaves the MPEG-4 part for the TI
23:51:16*amiconn wonders what clock the DSP is running at
23:51:59amiconnThose DSP cores seem to be rather clock efficient - the MAS is running at ~24MHz internally, and it does not only manage to decode, but also encode MP3 realtime
23:53:00pixelmalinuxstb: he even brought it to last year's DevCon...
23:53:18linuxstbIIRC, there's also video-related features in the lcd controller - things like colour-conversion, overlays and scaling.
23:54:28amiconnYeah, I remembered that part
