#rockbox log for 2010-04-21

00:03:24CIA-5New commit by pixelma (r25692): Fix broken Iaudio M3 manual and missing buttons in the M:Robe 100 manual, caused by the same weirdness of tex: breaking a long opt list needs escaping ...

00:33:01b0hoonso it looks like after my last commits...
00:34:03b0hoonpixelma: but it builded for me locally for 5 different targets
00:35:21pixelmayeah for me too, just the M3 manual didn't build of the ones I tried. It's still weird, we'll see what happens tomorrow
00:35:49b0hoonpixelma: i wasn't aware of this, should i change the way of breaking the lines or wait?
00:36:02b0hoonpixelma: ah, ok
00:37:07 Quit phanboy4 (Ping timeout: 265 seconds)
00:37:26pixelmaI think I caught all the problematic ones. It's most important if you break \opt{pad,pad,pad,pad}
00:41:22b0hoonok, i'll pay more attension to this next time...
00:41:28pixelmayou'll sometimes see the % (actually a comment that helps "commenting out" the linebrak) at the end of \opt{bla}{blub} too because tex *sometimes* adds a space for the targets where this is not true. Then you'll sometimes see more than one space in the resulting PDF for all targets that are not included. Sometimes it works correctly though and I didn't find a pattern yet
00:43:10b0hoonyes. i was wondering what for it is.

02:22:27gustoi think staying w/ this firmware that needs to be indexed in order to know whats on it isnt the way to go
02:23:32gustowhat are the differences between 2nd and 3rd gen of ipod nano? so do you expect to take a long time till support of the 3rd gen ipod nano as well?
02:25:35gustowill i be able then to just copy some files over and be able to play it w/o any sync or special sw?

03:47:40Unhelpfulit doesn't have to, if you get it to save some runtime ;)
03:48:21Unhelpfuli believe auto voltage scaling can be enabled separately... so we could just enable auto voltage and tweak frequency manually.
03:48:51Unhelpfuland somebody else must've told you some of it because it's news to me that we're nearly at minimum voltage at 264MHz
03:49:43hobbsUnhelpful: patch from jethead71 from a week or so ago, seeing it in the changelog was what got me thinking
03:49:56 Quit adnyxo (Ping timeout: 245 seconds)
03:50:00hobbsdropped it down from whatever unreasonable thing it boots up with (1.6 or 1.65?) to 1.35
03:51:07hobbsbut I agree, auto-voltage and manual CPU would be a good trick
03:54:13n1sUnhelpful: i think it's near the minimum for that freq
03:54:37n1slower freq could use even lower voltage IIUC
03:56:29n1sgusto: Ports are done by interested developers, and noone seems to be working on the nano3g at the moment, so sending someone your ipod might work if you get them interested in the port but the effort will likely take a long time
03:58:06LloreanI thought jhMikeS said that what we're setting it to is good for up to 399mhz still

04:09:13guston1s, and does it sound promising? i mean, can i remove the apple firmware after completely and use like described on the site (drag and drop files and play on the move)?
04:10:22n1sif rockbox is ported, you can drag and drop like to any other usb mass storage device
04:10:34gustook
04:10:41gustoand what about the apple FW?
04:10:45n1sif you cna get rid of the original firmware completely is a detail of the port
04:10:57gustothat means?
04:11:15RadicalRBasically, the FW becomes optional.
04:11:18n1sso i can't tell you that now, it depends on how the bootloader etc is designed
04:11:25RadicalRThat too.
04:11:35RadicalRHowever, given the pattern of the Nano2g
04:11:53n1ssome of our ports have optional dualboot with the OF, some mandatory and some have only single boot
04:11:53RadicalRI think it's safe to say that it'll probably follow suit.
04:12:08n1syes, probably
04:12:48gustoand on the nano2g you can get rid of the original fw completely?
04:14:36RadicalRYes, I just keep it on just in case.
04:14:49RadicalRWell, hold on. Let me double check that.
04:14:59RadicalRIt goes to the iLoader
04:15:06RadicalRwhich allows you to pick what you want to boot.
04:15:33 Join Rob2223 [0] (~Miranda@p4FDCBE5D.dip.t-dialin.net)
04:15:36gustoso you can delete the first partition where the fw is then, right?
04:16:30gustoand other thing that am interested in pretty much about this topic is what filesystems can you use then? only FAT32 or also ext2 and other?
04:16:52n1sonly fat
04:16:57RadicalRNix on the first one, and rockbox can only read fat
04:16:59RadicalRyeah
04:17:23gustook
04:17:52gustois there a practical reason, or is it just because there is not enough ppl to write code for it?
04:18:54scorcherockbox supports FAT32 as well...
04:19:05 Quit Rob2222 (Ping timeout: 265 seconds)
04:19:17scorchegusto: the reasoning is mentioned here: http://www.rockbox.org/wiki/NoDo
04:19:26gustobecause i think on such big storages like nano3g has with 8 GB and newer ones have even more a better FS would show up
04:19:52scorcheit isnt about "better"....it is about "compatibility"
04:21:35gustoah on that site the reason is, because these devices are too weak, have less RAM and other ressourcen, maybe that isnt true for modern ones any more, or will not be
04:21:50gustoyes, compatibility as well
04:22:12gustobut not everybody cares about compatibility, the oroginal firmware cares the less
04:23:00scorcheram is always a major concern...the more RAM we have, the more audio buffer can fit into there...the more audio buffer, the less we have to spin up or access the disk/storage...the less we have to access, the more battery life...
04:23:13gustoforcin ppl to use itunes to synchronize their ipod isnt exactly copmatibility improving
04:23:20scorcheso?
04:23:31gustook
04:23:50gustoi understand that
04:24:38gustois on routers the same
04:25:05gustothe more free ram you have, the more nat connections you can route through
04:30:16n1sthere also is not a big gain in a "better" fs for most people, as fat* works pretty well
04:32:12LloreanThere's really not a very strong reason for moving them to more 'advanced' filesystems anyway. Most of the better features don't relate to the use of it as a portable music player, while FAT32 as a filesystem is pretty much understood by any modern host computer making Rockbox as a UMS device pretty much universally compatible (or as close as you really can be)

If the script is this simple it was no problem when compiling with non-stop mode but would be now. Unfortunately I don't remember how the mode is called exactly as I don't use it
08:04:36pixelmaI would also prefer it if it's not used anymore because you won't get semi-broken manuals but then the script would need to be a bit more clever

08:53:50RandomInsano1As far as target, TCC8200?
08:53:58linuxstbI meant which MP3 player?

08:55:28RandomInsano1It looks to be nearly identical to the iriver x20
08:55:41linuxstbThe main problem with the telechips targets is the software flash translation layer (FTL). We don't have a reliable read-write driver for that (and it is also slightly different on different telechips devices).

08:56:09RandomInsano1I have a MicroSD at least
08:57:02RandomInsano1I'm interested in getting as far as I can with it. When I get bored or hit an impossible wall, I'll give up.

09:03:35linuxstbYes, but that define may not actually be used to set the CPU frequency - it depends on the driver. It's used to display the CPU speed in the debug menus. (IIRC). So don't worry too much about it for now.

09:10:36RandomInsano1I don't know if my one Comp Sci class on assembly language has given me a firm grasp of things, but I'll give it a shot.

12:09:09kugelI don't really like the patch. it has to work with that strange buffer layout which makes it a hack in many places and very error prone

12:11:00kugelthere's also the tokens array
12:12:34jhMikeSwodz: any luck? I have another thought. perhaps starting a new AD conversion on its own int is producing an int flood? a tick task may be more appropriate.

12:15:07hobbshey look at that

12:45:11jhMikeSI've got voltage scaling, confirmed at the test points by a multimeter. The DPTC, there's latency issues with updating regulator settings. I may commit without that part enabled which would fix it at 1.6V for 528MHz and 1.35V for lower frequencies.

12:46:29hobbsjhMikeS: what range of speeds?
12:47:50jhMikeShobbs: 528, 264, 132, divider only. There is a bug with PLL switching, fixed in r2.0 that forces DVFS to reset the PLL. Perhaps because audio uses the USBPLL, 399 may be workable since that requires using SRPLL.
12:48:52hobbsgotcha
12:49:53hobbswhat about dropping the PLL once at boot and using 66-264?

12:54:38jhMikeS264 won't always cut it for everything. the automatic switch works pretty well and is basically delay-free. we could divide further for 66, but there's other warnings in the errata manual about that. Also, changing PLL changes the SDMA core frequency.
12:55:46jhMikeSof course, the issues are clocking-relative issues, not absolute frequency ones
12:57:19hobbsyeah, I didn't have luck with 528/8 = 66, but I did with 264/4 = 66. And... well, let's say I haven't run into the stuff that needs more than 264 yet.
13:00
13:00:10wodzjhMikeS: I commented out whole stuff related to ADC and this doesn't remove delay between selecting menu item and entering that menu item
13:00:42jhMikeShobbs: 528/8=66 will set it to CPU=AHB, which is what the bug is about (iirc). amiconn uses it at 528 with APE.
13:03:10hobbsbleh ;)
13:03:38hobbsoh well, always possible that 66 is no big win I suppose
13:03:43jhMikeSat least with the DVFS you just set PMIC pins to select a different reg. setting. no SPI writes are needed.
13:05:33jhMikeSit benefits from voltage reduction more than frequency. I tested at 528 and 264 at 1.6V and got the same batt life. in both cases. simply changing F seems to just make it take longer/short roughtly in proportion before reaching an idle state and everything's been done to keep the ARM core as idle as possible.
13:07:29*jhMikeS , besides complaints about the S with OF, noticed people not being too impressed with Zune battery life either, with a 800mAh batt no less.

13:20:00n1sjhMikeS: do you know what the OF does?
13:20:13jhMikeShobbs: only 528MHz (aka. "turbo" and "overdrive") needs DPTC to find the minimum. <= 400MHz only requires 1.35V.
13:21:01hobbsright, but I'm running lower. Unless I'm not because I did something wrong there
13:23:01jhMikeSn1s: It leaves SW1ADVS set at 1.4V. I haven't tracked that part down in the driver. It's sort of a mess to wade throught. I'll try to find out.
13:23:19pixelmajhMikeS: about your repeat question. To me it doesn't sound like it has to do with repeat, more like playlist settings. Did you check your "recursively insert directory" settings or maybe you had auto-change directory set before or something?
13:23:53hobbsI suppose I can try changing all the values to 0.9V and make sure I get a hang. That should be fairly harmless ;)

13:40:53jhMikeSwodz: no buttons are getting posted?
13:41:00wodzthat is strange
13:41:24wodzBUTTON_NONE should be posted

14:00:01jhMikeSare buttons getting posted normally? it really IS reading them and posting them? or, does the button_queue back up with messages?
14:00:43wodzI can navigate with buttons so I guess button events are passed to the queue
14:01:22jhMikeSwodz: but, the delay. I thought you couldn't navigate.
14:01:29jhMikeSnot easily anyway
14:01:45wodzyes navigating is weird but possible
14:02:22jhMikeSbut every single press should post a message, but maybe they're not and the reading is shoddy?
14:02:33kugelup and down works fine, only selecting menu items doesn't?
14:03:03jhMikeSmaybe the ADC thresholds aren't quite right?
14:03:36wodzthe buttons get taken definitely
14:04:46wodzif I conduct the experiment like this: 1)select item 2) force break in gdb 3) call lcd_update() in gdb I see what should be displayed
14:05:16wodzso button is posted, action is taken but main thread is blocked and lcd_update() is postponed
14:05:45jhMikeSwodz: the menu got drawn in the framebuffer but lcd_update didn't get called?
14:05:58wodzyes
14:06:35jhMikeSdoesn't sound like ints and threads then :\
14:08:10jhMikeSdid lcd_update not get called or did it just not update the display? I would think it's destined to call that and will reach it before blocking again.
14:09:09wodzregarding up/down buttons - this doesn't work quite right. If I hold down/up it skips one line from time to time
14:09:17wodznot get called
14:09:43wodzI set breakpoint on lcd_update() and I have to wait ~4-5s to breakpoint fire

15:40:14TornejhMikeS: you mean the software eq, or the tone controls?
15:40:24Tornei fixed the beast tone controls the other day :)
15:40:24jhMikeSTorne: software EQ
15:40:30Torneah
15:40:45jhMikeSit sounds like wrapping noise, but not so severe
15:40:56hobbsjhMikeS: does letting the GPT count during WFI use more power or what? Because timing is so much more consistent with it on
15:41:10jhMikeSperhaps just one band or something, and precut has no effect on getting rid of it
15:41:16TornejhMikeS: btw, my housemate is interested in working out how to get rockbox to use the beast's DAC's EQ directly
15:41:33Tornei suggested he should probably come on irc and chat to people
15:41:48Tornesince it's mostly a UI issue, if i understand correctly
15:42:04Torne(hardware EQs being similar, but not identical, to each other or our software EQ)
15:42:10jhMikeShobbs: I have no info on that. I just expect it's unneeded and if you're busy waiting, it's not in WFI mode.
15:44:08jhMikeSTorne: Personally, I'd say have a "hardware EQ". Llorean was objecting saying such a thing was confusing. The best compromise I could think up was having 5 "tone controls". Really, it was always an interface thing more than a problem to make it work. I don't care to use them half-assed as bass and treble. We should use that EQ.
15:45:18jhMikeSIf we don't we're just jailing the HW a bit and I thought we were supposed to do the opposite of that :)
15:45:24Torneyah
15:45:35Torneif someone did the effort to use them as bass and treble, we might as well have it, though, no?
15:45:45jhMikeSeven the gain limiter could be hardware
15:46:13jhMikeSbut of course that won't help PCM saturation

19:31:21n1sjhMikeS: that whole directory playlist handling thing is pretty hacy IMO, i think we should come up with a better way, maybe just make playing files create a regular otg playlist that is handled the same way as any other playlist

19:36:45n1sindeed
19:36:57n1slots of esotgeric options we do have
19:37:03n1ss/g//
19:38:30n1sbut i think that if we had an easy way to select multiple dirs for insertion into a playlist, and made playing a file equivalent to inserting that dir into a playlist we could drop ADC and the whole special handling of dir playlists

19:43:21jhMikeSI don't even think we have multiple-selection lists and I'd love that for managing files on the player when away from any other means.
19:45:05n1sno, we don't, it's a feature i would love too
19:45:16Lloreann1s: The thing is, if you click on a file, and expect playback to continue through the folder, some people can (quite reasonable) expect new additions to the folder later (for a podcast folder, for example) to be played.
19:46:36n1sLlorean: but doesn't inserting a dir into a dynamic playlist do that?
19:46:49jhMikeShmmm...but what would dropping ACD do? I don't mind the option to stick with playing an album from the browser or just play everything I've got. No database init = more RAM too.
19:47:29jhMikeSLlorean: you mean if they move a file into a directory that is already playing through?
19:47:40Lloreann1s: If you "insert" the dir, the playlist is a list of filenames isn't it? It's an unsaved playlist, rather than an index in the folder?
19:47:46n1sjhMikeS: from the times i've looked at playback or playlist code, the dir handling seems to need quite a bit of special cases
19:47:53LloreanIf I recall, if you insert a folder with subfolders, you can't bookmark until it's saved.
19:48:41LloreanjhMikeS: Say you click "select" on podcast 3 of 5 in your podcasts folder rather than using "insert" to add it in a playlist.
19:48:52LloreanYou get through 3 and part of 4, then stop, then add a podcast six from your computer, then resume.
19:49:05LloreanI'm pretty sure as long as you don't manipulate the playlist playback will eventually reach #6 right?
19:49:15jhMikeSn1s: I can't fathom why it needs 3581 lines of code! of course, what's most of it dealing with?
19:49:29LloreanBut if you "insert" the folder instead, you'll insert the 5 individual items, and when a sixth is added to the folder, unless you also insert it, it won't show up in your dynamic playlist
19:50:48n1sLlorean: i'm not sure but IIRC as long as the playlist is unsaved it is "dynamic" and then it just keeps info like inserted dir foo, inserted file bar so if a dir is inserted and later changed and the playlist is not saved, the new contents of the dir will be included too, i might be wrong of course
19:51:41Lloreann1s: I'm not necessarily saying the change would be bad, just unexpected for some.
19:51:51n1si think this is the cause of the "deleting a file in the dynamic pl will cause resume to pick the wrong file bug"
19:51:59LloreanFor example, if we got rid of the directory index based playback entirely, you'd never get the whole "it resumed in a different file I stopped" bug
19:52:34n1swell, apparently we have unexpected behaviour either way :)
19:52:42Lloreann1s: I'm pretty sure those are playlists created by simply pressing 'select' on a file, rather than using "insert"

19:53:08jhMikeSLlorean: something tells me you shouldn't index where you don't wholly control the contents
19:53:18LloreanjhMikeS: Sadly, we already do.
19:53:41LloreanAnd it does allow the nice behaviour of being able to have a playlist that continues into a file that wasn't there before, but that's about the only positive I think.
19:53:46n1sLlorean: anyway, multi select is something i would really like
19:54:08LloreanMe too
19:54:56LloreanI'd also like to split "right" and "select" one day, so that one could actually be "invoke what is highlighted" and the other could be either "insert" or "select" or some other list action.
19:56:41pixelma the index way is also a lot faster I believe (I always thought this is the reason)
19:56:59 Quit xiainx (Quit: Good Bye)
19:57:44LloreanYes, an "insert" takes a bit for it to iterate through and insert all the files
19:58:13LloreanBut couldn't playback start based on the index when you 'select' a file (since at that one point, we know it's constant) then the iteration to populate the playlist happen after?
20:00
20:00:37pixelmahmm... it could also be from the time resume info and other settings where stored in a hidden sector and space to store something was quite restricted?
20:00:49pixelmacould be I'm confusing things though
20:01:05n1sLlorean: yeah, it could, this would also help the case where people select a file in the database from a view of all their files, which causes al those files to be inserted into the pl before playback starts
20:01:45n1si think we would need a pl worker thread then though

20:49:25jhMikeSwhy they have DPTC tables for frequencies where DTPC isn't necessary is a bit perplexing. one driver version only has tables for overdrive, has checks for imx31 rev 1, sets voltages to 1.25V for dvs yet rev 1 can't use that, supposedly, according to the other drivers. there's even another version I found online.
20:53:33jhMikeSthen there's that SDMA stuff, where it has checks in the BSP for rev 1.00, and code! but elsewhere it says it was never a production part. nonetheless, that was much easier to sort out and I can probably remove that overhead from the compiled binary.
20:56:28n1si hope we can assume all the beasts use the same chip rev?

21:17:19pixelmaTexasRockbox: store them away in a different folder, if you really need to you could set the folder to hidden and only let it display "supported" files
21:18:19TexasRockboxStore all the cover art in another folder?
21:18:34*jhMikeS wants to show hidden files while only browsing supported ones since hidden ones can be supported, or he's just being too demanding.
21:19:30TexasRockboxAll of my cover art files are call cover.jpg and reside in the folder where each album is located.
21:20:04archivatorTexasRockbox: see the manual, C.3 - it''s possible to have everything in one folder, you'll just need to rename the files.
21:20:44pixelmaTexasRockbox: there is one way you could store it one folder and still have it found. (I believe an "albumart" folder inside .rockbox, the AlbumArt wiki explains it. But you need to rename the cover files to artist-album.jpg or so
21:20:46TexasRockboxYikes! 800+ files
21:21:35TexasRockboxIs it known where in the code where I can add .mpg to the list of supported music files and have the video play instead?
21:22:27TexasRockboxI did try changing the extention of the video file to .mp3 and that didn't work
21:23:09pixelmayou mean that they show up if you set your file view to "Music"
21:23:10pixelma?
21:23:30pixelmajust for clarification, I had to parse the sentence a few times
21:24:55TexasRockboxIf I change the extention of the video file the file shows but does not play. If I leave the extention to .mpg the file isn't visible unless I select show files "All" or "All Supported".

21:42:35amiconnThe archos OF had a limit of 999 files per playlist for that reason, and its playlist generation was so slow that early versions even went into idle poweroff before staring to play if you actually tried to add that many files

21:58:16amiconnImo being slightly off in rare cases (how often do you add/remove stuff from your dap *in the current folder*?) is much better than being slow *every time*

22:01:34n1sanyway i meant to store the filename in addition to the index so we match index like we do now but then also check the filename

22:07:40jhMikeSme suggests invalidating the playlist after connect
22:07:48amiconnOn my computer I've listened to one or two podcasts so far
22:07:55amiconnjhMikeS: eurgh...
22:08:09amiconnThis would mean my playlist is gone when updating rockbox
22:10:37 Quit JohannesSM64 (Quit: WeeChat 0.3.2-dev)
22:11:35fmlWhat about storing the file names (in a background process?), but only for files near the current position in the playlist.

22:12:24jhMikeSamiconn: stuff you added manually I take it? obvious rebuilding under the same rules should produce the same list.
22:12:55jhMikeS*assuming nothing changed of course
22:13:02amiconnYes, but it won't reproduce my current position
22:13:47*amiconn always wonders why people want to change things which are proven to work reasonably well for a long time already
22:14:30n1sit doesn't work well for everyone
22:14:54*jhMikeS refrains from giving some of the many possible retorts to that :P (too political)
22:15:01fmlamiconn: then the playlist creation would still be fast, but playlist manipulations were also better detectable
22:15:10amiconnThen change it in a way that doesn't make it worse for those cases where it works well
22:15:51amiconnThose cases are still the majority... and for the podcast case there is a workaround
22:16:12n1si think storing the filename of the currently playing song is a good compromise, and give up if the name and index doesn't match
22:16:12n1sbut no, i don't care enough to do anything about it
22:16:20amiconnInsert the podcasts individually instead of playing the first track in the folder
22:17:10n1salso if people think about the problem, maybe someone will come up with a way that is both fst and more reliable
22:17:16amiconnTe resulting list will load slower (probably not noticeably provided there aren't too many podcasts in the folder), but position will always be correct
22:17:28jhMikeSamiconn: what do you mean "your current position"? I wouldn't think it would change if a playlist were a perfect duplicate.
22:17:29fmln1s: the background thread could e.g. ensure that two files around the current position have the names stored so that small shifts are recoverable
22:17:51amiconnjhMikeS: My playing postion...
22:18:07amiconnIf you invalidate the list and I have to re-create it, it would play from the beginning
22:18:30amiconnThe background thread does not exist on hwcodec
22:18:50n1sfml, sure, it would need to be a compromise
22:19:16archivatordomonoky, bluebroth3r: what's the status of the concurrency patch? i.e., should I do something more to get it comitted?
22:19:17fmlamiconn: how is the DB created on hwcodec?
22:19:21archivatorcommitted*
22:19:31n1samiconn: that is one thing that would also be easier with a way to multiselect, right now, it's a bit tedious
22:19:38jhMikeSamiconn: why should file and current time index be discarded? I can't think _why_ the playlist couldn't be started from anywhere. ??
22:19:54amiconnMultiselect would be nice. Somebody please find enough buttons for that...
22:20:11pixelmajhMikeS: from the middle of the track?
22:20:17bluebroth3rarchivator: sorry, didn't have time looking at it the last days (was stuck due to volcano ashes for some days ...)
22:20:26domonokyarchivator: i am not sure. i think we said last time, to just wait for after the release. So i think it could go in.
22:20:38pixelmajhMikeS: and do you always remember which track you were at last
22:20:50amiconnjhMikeS: Current playlist and resume position are related. If you invalidate the former, you also invalidate the latter
22:20:52jhMikeSpixelma: yeah, it's just a seek time stored through the playlist functions anyway
22:21:09pixelmabut you said that would be discarded?

22:21:31archivatorbluebroth3r: no worries, just wondering. I think what domonoky said was the consensus last time..
22:21:43amiconnfml: Umm, using the database thread?
22:22:13*amiconn only updates the db occasionally... mostly for showing pictureflow to someone
22:22:15jhMikeSit calls playlist_update_resume_info(id3); when the audio is stopped
22:23:24fmlamiconn: so it's possible to have multiple threads on hwcodec? From you reply I thought it's impossible. But if it's possible we could have another thread (or use an existing one) for updating the playlists (adding file names to the current position and around it)
22:23:27pixelmadon't bookmarks still work even when tracks in the folder get deleted?
22:23:29jhMikeSindex and offest and tossed inti global_status
22:23:57amiconnfml: Of course it's possible. What I was saying is that the playlist_cachectrl thread doesn't exist on hwcodec
22:24:03jhMikeSs/offest/offset/, s/and/get/, s/inti/into/
22:24:33fmlamiconn: I didn't know it exists on swcodec :-)
22:24:56n1spixelma: i think they are filename based
22:25:11amiconnIirc it was introduced to solve a problem with trackchange on swcodec (and that doesn't affect hwcodec, obviously), so it would be a waste to have it on hwcodec
22:25:27amiconnAfaik it has nothing to do with playlist creation
22:26:42amiconnThreading itself dates back to the beginnings of rockbox (without priorities and stuff like that)
22:27:20fmlThen I think we could hijack a thread for that. Not every thread is heavily busy all the time.
22:28:13amiconnHwcodec still has thread priorities disabled, since there is no reason for this so far
22:33:26jhMikeSit's there mainly to ward-off audio breaks during user activity like scrolling which I can't see HWCODEC having an issue with since it just sends MP3 data with an ISR

22:37:15n1swasn't it also to help UI responsivness (?) when playback was running unboosted
22:37:27n1si remember the ipod video being mentioned
22:38:34jhMikeSnot sure how it would unless you jump the UI priority. the first scheduler just ran thought all contexts on each context switch. non-runnable threads actually used CPU time when switching tasks.
22:39:34jhMikeSgo back in svn just before slasheri's initial change to a genuine blocking scheduler
22:40:46jhMikeSI think amiconn used to measure some 3400 task switches/sec during playback on archos, now it's about 12 per second
22:41:41amiconnNah, certainly not that many if all threads were sleeping
22:41:59domonokyarchivator: i am just trying you latest patch for rbutil, and got some problems: No progress info while voicing and the log contains a line like : "can not create children for parent in different thread". All on Windows and with sapi as voice.
22:42:08amiconnIirc that was the possible maximum (with the old scheduler) in a yield() test
22:42:11jhMikeSamiconn: you did give me a number in the thousands, I'm sure it's logged somewhere
22:42:21jhMikeSah
22:42:55amiconnWhen all threads have nothing to do and call sleep(), there cannot be more than number_of_threads*HZ context switches
22:43:04amiconn..per second
22:44:22archivatordomonoky: interesting. I'll admit I haven't tested it on windows.
22:44:49domonokyarchivator: strangly progress info works for encoding.. maybe its because sapi doesnt run in paralell ?
22:44:50jhMikeSamiconn: of course for idle. but then I misunderstood, or misremember. it was a couple years back or so.
22:45:39archivatordomonoky: yeah, but it's marked as such and thus there should be only one thread. Unless.. are you getting that error from SAPI or from Qt?
22:46:03archivatorI think the problem's that SAPI is initialized in one thread and then used in another.

22:51:17amiconnHehe, my first yield() round-trip-time test dates back to June 2004
22:51:25archivatorJust tested with both eSpeak and festival, works fine.
22:51:41domonokyarchivator: jup, looks like its a problem with ttssapi using its own thread for the script. If i set the max thread count to 2, progress info works again, but still looks strange.. (probably because ttssapi cant really be called in paralell.
22:53:37domonokythe message is: QObject: Cannot create children for a parent that is in a different thread. Unfortunatly no line number.

22:55:04archivatordomonoky: I know how to solve it quick'n'dirty. It might introduce a performance penalty though.
22:56:22domonokydepends on how dirty it is :-)
22:56:50domonokydoes progressinfo work for you if you use a non-paralell tts ?
22:57:30archivatordomonoky: both non-parallel tts are also non-linux :) So, haven't really tested them.
22:57:51archivatorI think I know why it doesn't work in your case though. Event processing stops after that error message.

23:05:48archivatorNot sure if the stream should be moved as well, though.
23:06:34archivatorthe stream can't be moved, actually, since it has a parent (the script). Can you test if that works?
