00:46:39CIA-81New commit by Buschel (r28165): Add current consumption and battery capacities to iPod nano 2G config file.
00:47:46*TheSeven likes the fact that Buschel steals items from his todo list :)
00:48:16Buschel:-) the battery bench and the discharge curve is still missing though
00:48:21CIA-81r28165 build result: All green
00:48:33*TheSeven committed a discharge curve once
00:49:34TheSevenhm, someone stole that, too
00:50:09Buschelyes, there is one. but to me it seems the included one will reach 0% too early
00:50:27Buschelbtw, any chance to work on LCD_SLEEP?
00:50:40Buschelthis might bring in some more savings...
00:51:37TheSevenah, there it is
00:51:40TheSevenit only moved a bit
00:51:43TheSevenconst unsigned short percent_to_volt_discharge[BATTERY_TYPES_COUNT][11] = { { 3550, 3783, 3830, 3882, 3911, 3949, 3996, 4067, 4148, 4228, 4310 } };
00:51:50TheSevenlooks fine to me
00:53:35TheSeveni tweaked the lowest two values a bit to give a better average accuracy in the nearly-empty area
00:54:56TheSevenshutoff at 3.35V was needed so that the ipod has enough charge left to do a worst-case ftl commit (about 30 seconds of writing to flash)
00:55:05Buscheldon't you think it would be better to even use lower voltages for "dangerous" and "shutoff"? both are >>3.0V which is the lowest voltage used player internally (from what I can see)
00:55:10TheSeventhe flash is powered through an LDO linear regulator at 3.00V
00:55:30TheSevenso we need to still be a bit above of that to make it work in a stable fasion
00:55:31Buschelah, you just typed the answer for the question I was asking
00:56:00Buschelso, then the battery stuff is finished :)
00:56:03TheSeventhe voltage falls rather fast starting at about 3.30V
00:56:17TheSevenat 2.90V the CPU will die
00:56:52TheSeveni don't know if the power manager shuts it off deliberately or if it just fails because the RAM voltage drops too much (it's also configured at 3.00V)
00:57:17TheSeventhe CPU internally runs at 1.00V or 1.05V through a switching regulator
00:57:47Buschelis it possible to use lower voltage when the cpu is clocked down to 48 MHz?
00:58:08TheSevenyes, I managed to get it down to 0.95V but that doesn't save much
00:58:17Buschelno
00:58:25TheSevenit even seems to run at that voltage at 200MHz
00:58:40Buschelwhat were the savings?
00:58:47Buschel<1 mA?
00:58:47TheSevenmaybe 1mA
00:59:04TheSeventhe problem is that the XTAL oscillator frequency drops noticably below 0.925V on mine
00:59:25TheSeventhis was reported to happen at even higher voltages on some devices
00:59:52TheSeveni once managed to run it at 0.85V at 48MHz, but the real cpu clock was more like 43MHz
01:00
01:00:30*TheSeven didn't know that xtal oscillators can behave that badly
01:00:53TheSeventhe problem with frequency-dependent undervolting is that switching the voltage takes way too long
01:01:11TheSevenapparently the cpu frequency change function can be invoked from an IRQ context
01:01:30 Quit insp_ (Quit: ChatZilla 0.9.86 [Firefox 3.6.8/20100722155716])
01:01:36TheSevenand we need to wait for I2C transactions to complete and voltages to stabilize before raising the clock again
01:01:50TheSevenif that could be split into multiple operations, this might help
01:01:59TheSevenbut I can't block IRQs for that long without disrupting playback
01:02:25Buschelso, best would be to either find a lower voltage that also fits for 192MHz or just keep the actual voltage
01:02:49TheSeventhat I2S core is extremely sensitive to FIQ latencies
01:02:50 Quit s1gma_ (Ping timeout: 265 seconds)
01:03:11TheSevenmore than about 20 *microseconds* of latency until the next DMA transfer is started and you'll notice clicking
01:03:48TheSevenso we can't even afford to lock FIQs while waiting for a PLL to lock
01:04:25TheSeven(that's why I'm using an assembly FIQ handler)
01:04:40Buschelthat's why you are using the fastbus-option to force the cpu clock to 48 MHz?
01:04:45TheSevenyes

01:04:52 Join Nausicaa [0] (~Nausicaa@c-71-239-58-153.hsd1.il.comcast.net)
01:04:57TheSeveni can't stop the pll, because I don't manage to get it running again fast enough
01:05:35TheSevenif we would change the core in a way that allows boosting/unboosting to be split into multiple operations, that might help
01:05:50TheSevenor at least get rid of the calls from IRQ context
01:05:58TheSeventhat would allow us to block at least
01:06:07TheSeventhen we could also change the voltage
01:06:17TheSevenpowering down the unused PLL saves about 2mA IIRC
01:06:40Buscheldo we already do this?
01:06:47soapHas any disassembly been done on the OF?
01:06:57TheSevena bit, but not much of it
01:07:25TheSevenmost of it was reverse engineered from the apple bootloader and diagmode
01:08:02soapI'm curious if any knowledge has been gleaned on how the OF manages the CPU frequency, since it sounds much harder to maximize part-turnoff-savings than on the previous ipods I was curious if the OF even bothered.
01:08:25*TheSeven has no idea
01:08:29soap(not that I have ANY insights, just curiosity)
01:08:51TheSevenone might want to look at their FIQ handler
01:09:02TheSeventhey might have found a better way to deal with the I2S DMA
01:09:26TheSevenauto-reloading DMA didn't work for me for some reason, and they didn't use it in diagmode at all

01:12:42 Quit engwan_ (Ping timeout: 276 seconds)
01:14:51BuschelTheSeven: the LCD driver has lots of waits between each 16 bit write access to the 16bit data register. if I remove one of those waits between 2 write accesses, the speed is increased and i can see no visible impact to the screen.

01:29:48soapsecond half of his post might be relevant to you.
01:30:23soap28164 to blame?
01:32:29Buschelsoap: yep. works for me though... will create a flyspray patch. it might be connected to different LCD types...

01:33:04TheSevensorry, webchat went dead for some reason
01:33:16TheSevenbut in the meantime i had a quick glance at the OF's FIQ handler:
01:33:19TheSevenSTMFD SP!, {R0-R12,LR}
01:33:39TheSevenapparently they didn't quite realize what kind of advantage an FIQ offers in terms of registers
01:33:52 Quit PaulJam (Ping timeout: 272 seconds)
01:33:59TheSevenso I think they aren't suffering as bad from the latency problem as we are
01:35:13TheSevenactually an FIQ seems to be considered a fatal error
01:37:15CIA-81New commit by Buschel (r28166): Roll back r28164 as this change introduced LCD issues on some nano 2G.

01:44:11BuschelTheSeven: You have got a type1 or type0 LCD in your nano 2g?
01:45:02*TheSeven doesn't remember the way they were numbered
01:45:05TheSevenI have the LDS176
01:45:29Buschelsame than I have...
01:46:30TheSevenif you need init code, there's some code in norloader/embios loader that should do the trick, but it's a bit fishy
01:47:11TheSevenalso IIRC there's a patch on flyspray that's dealing with LCD shutdown, don't remember if it was yours or liar's or someone else

10:54:00bertrikpixelma, I noticed that timestretch uses buffer_alloc to get memory and I guess the skin stuff does too. Maybe we could add some debugging to that.
10:54:34 Quit scorche (Read error: Connection reset by peer)
10:55:20bertrikLike adding magic markers / ids around the allocated memory blocks and checking them regularly
10:55:55n1sbertrik: you mean like the canary value we use on stacks?
10:56:05n1sto check for overflow
10:56:44gevaertssounds like a good idea
10:57:43n1syeah, memory corruption is no fun to debug
10:58:09bertrikMaybe a buffer_alloc is silently failing, resulting in corruption later on
10:58:54JdGordonI dont think so
10:58:57JdGordonI mean, I doubt it
10:59:08bertrikI see there is currently no protection/check against too much memory allocated.
11:00
11:00:55n1syeah, buffer_alloc just increments the audiobuf pointer with the requested size with no checks whatsoever

11:03:45n1sa simple if (audiobuf+size > audiobufend) return NULL; should do no?
11:04:03n1sand some checking in the places that do the allocations of course
11:04:25JdGordonwell yes and no
11:04:44JdGordonisnt the problem that alot of things wont fail gracefully if it doesnt get the ram
11:04:58 Quit bertrik (Read error: Connection timed out)
11:05:27n1sthat is buggy then and should be fixed, i think allocating memory that doesn't exist (or even memory allocated by something else) is worse
11:05:43gevaertsJdGordon: sure, that too. But if buffer_alloc() doesn't even tell them, then...
11:05:47 Join bertrik [0] (~bertrik@rockbox/developer/bertrik)
11:05:51n1siirc the codecbuffer is at the end of the audiobuffer so if we alloc too much we could overwrite that
11:06:20JdGordonand also the order is close enough to random to causing problems... a bunch of non-essential buffers could be being allocated (and work) before a big essential buffer
11:07:37n1sthat really has nothing to do with proper eror checking, but sounds like it needs a think-through
11:08:11kugelsome parts don't even use buffer_alloc, but modify audiobuf directly
11:08:18n1sawesome
11:08:40JdGordonkugel: not after audio is init-ed though...?
11:08:53kugelno
11:08:59bertrikn1s, yes I meant some kind of canary value, plus maybe some extra info (block size) so we can parse the alloc buf
11:09:33 Quit Spaceghost (Read error: Connection reset by peer)

11:10:20JdGordonbertrik: we could do that with logf just as easily though... if there is no protection then timestrecth+skin buffer could probably be naughty, should be just a matter of checking the audio buffer size int he debug screen though
11:12:14pixelman1s: codecbuffer is unlikely because I see problems on my hwcodec target too
11:12:19gevaertsExcept that logf isn't any good in official builds
11:12:49JdGordonof course, but that sounds like a waste in regular builds also
11:13:17gevaertsHow many buffer_alloc()s does a regular running system do?
11:13:51n1spixelma: ah
11:13:59n1sawesom
11:14:00JdGordonif audio playback works at all then it is almost certainly not the actuall alloc() which is causing problems
11:14:18JdGordongevaerts: hundreds if dircache is enabled
11:14:23gevaertsright
11:14:33gevaertsWe're talking about a few lines of code, and a few bytes (8? 16?) of metadata (length+magic value to check) in before and after each block I think
11:14:35JdGordonotherwsie I'd guess a dozen or so
11:15:26gevaertsMight still be a good idea to implement, even if it's not added to default builds
11:15:55gevaertsEven if the issues we're talking about now probably aren't related, some issues in the past have definitely been
11:19:24JdGordon*cough* proper buflib
11:19:33bertrikyeah, we could make this extra administration optional (#ifdef it) if people object to the few extra bytes it takes
11:19:56bertrikwe could also store some kind of thread id with the blocks to know who allocated it
11:20:30JdGordona string would be more useful, just about all would be on the main thread
11:20:38bertrikand have a debug screen with stats
11:22:29gevaertsI think having buffer_alloc() check if there's enough room and panic if not should be there
11:22:54JdGordonpixelma: check the info screen, whats the audio buffer size say?
11:23:01gevaertsOr return NULL and hope that callers check

11:24:51JdGordonpixelma: the "Buffer" line
11:24:53kugelI think there're under 10 buffer_alloc calls in total
11:25:37pixelmaJdGordon: on my Ondio? It says "1.22 MB", not sure what this is going to tell though
11:26:17JdGordonthat says that buffer_alloc(0 isnt running out of room
11:27:12JdGordon$ find -iname "*.c" | xargs grep "buffer_alloc(" | wc -l -> 64
11:27:36bertrikthat also includes a lot of skin_buffer_alloc's I think

14:15:35JdGordonAlso, it would be nice if we came up with a good way to do host integration for things that arnt possible on DAPs... i.e last.fm logging and AA downloading
14:17:04gevaertsWhat is the block starting at dircache.c line 534 trying to do?
14:17:25*JdGordon likes guessing games :)
14:18:36TheSevenbertrik: do you have any idea what could have made I2C fail on meizu?
14:18:45gevaertsoh, I think I see...
14:19:12TheSevenas I said, I reverted most of my changes (and used the polling version again) after we had some trouble with I2C interrupts getting lost on the nano2g
14:19:15JdGordongevaerts: I think those targets actually save the dircache cache as a file so it doesnt need to rescan
14:19:18bertrikTheSeven, no, I just reverted to an earlier version to make it work again
14:19:38JdGordonso that makes sure the file actually has a chance of being usable because the pointer is the same as last boot?
14:19:43gevaertsJdGordon: yes, and this code checks if it would be loaded at the same address

14:20:43JdGordonby the way, IIRC pondlife made a patch ages ago to panic if anything called buffer_alloc after audio was initialsed, might be worth looking at with this fiddling
14:20:43gevaertsJdGordon: that will break (as in, throw away the file every time) with BUFFER_ALLOC_DEBUG defined
14:20:58gevaertsUnless I add a 0-size check
14:21:12JdGordonprobably not a big deal
14:21:14wodzamiconn: ping
14:21:46TheSevenbertrik: if I use the interrupt-based driver, it locks up when doing things like changing volume, while the interrupt-based driver I use in emBIOS seems to work just fine, even though it isn't used heavily
14:22:25TheSeveninterestingly I can't remember seeing it lock up when switching the backlight on or off, so it might be somehow related to the codec which I'm not using at all in emBIOS
14:22:48gevaertsmaybe not. On the other hand, adding this check (only in the debug case anyway...) isn't much work either...

14:29:59amiconnThe iPod G1/G2 LCD is inverted when backlight is on
14:30:15gevaertskugel: the easy way to "fix" that would be to just always allocate at boot (without checking the setting), and hope that the OS we use does lazy allocation
14:30:30gevaertsJdGordon: any backtrace?

14:37:48JdGordonunsigned char* should be safe no?
14:38:29JdGordonbuffer_front = (void *)(((unsigned long)buffer_front + 3) & ~3); <- not entirely safe?
14:39:08amiconnno
14:39:17gevaertsintptr_t sounds better
14:39:30amiconn'long' isn't guaranteed to be large enough to hold a pointer
14:39:51amiconnOn linux x86_64 it should work though, but it will break on win64
14:39:53JdGordonI dot think that is the problem though, that would cause the crash the 2nd time not first time, I'll fix it anyway

14:44:15amiconnWell, you could cast outside the inner ( ), but if you do this with anything else than [unsigned] char* you will confuse people, probably even yourself

14:50:43JdGordon?
14:50:45gevaertsYes, I was going to suggest that too
14:50:48bertrikyeah, I wondered about that too in buffer.c
14:51:15gevaertsIf you round the size up, the pointer will stay aligned

14:58:12bertrikteru, png can also be greyscale, right?
14:58:16n1ssurely there are other filetypes not supported on all targets
14:58:45gevaertsrolo too, but I don't think that matters much here
14:58:56AlexPGive wodz a few minutes and png will be on greyscale too :)
14:59:14JdGordonwe can disable dircache on hosted though :)
14:59:14teruwodz: yeah, nice work. but same situation could happen in the future. for example when someone add gif viewer only for color target.
14:59:24gevaertsah, good call :)
14:59:30gevaertsWe probably should, anyway
14:59:37gevaertsIf it's not already
14:59:37kugelAlexP: actually, I think he managed greyscale already and is now adding greylib support (i.e. even nicer :) )
14:59:51kugelit is disabled
15:00
15:00:04gevaertsok
15:00:48AlexPkugel: Yeah, it already works
15:00:57gevaertsJdGordon: ok, dircache is fine. Now fix tagcache.c which does that too :)
15:00:59AlexPI was using it last night :)
15:01:15kugelthe host does caching, and it's not reasonable to cache the entire filesystem on a real machine
15:01:43kugelignoring the general breakage with recursive symlinks :)
15:02:09JdGordonarg, tagcache is sort of needed though
15:02:31kugeltagcache works as far as I can tell
15:03:19gevaertskugel: yes, but you didn't rip out buffer_alloc() :)
15:03:31gevaertsJdGordon: looks like an easy fix there though
15:05:47n1sbtw, having the properties plugin in the viewers list makes no sense
15:07:27JdGordongevaerts: did you change dircache.c to not be naughty?
15:07:33gevaertsno
15:07:42gevaertsIf it's disabled anyway, who cares?
15:08:06JdGordonIdeally nothing should use audiobuf directly
15:08:31gevaertsI'm trying to find out why that tagcache audiobuf abuse is safe (I assume it is, there aren't enough crash reports for it not to be...)
15:08:55JdGordonbecause it happens early probably? /me hasnt had a look yet
15:09:17gevaertsThat's what I'm looking for. From what I can see, it can happen at any time...
15:09:58GiovaJdGordon: One of the latest build has fixed the bug #11626
15:10:11JdGordongoody
15:10:17JdGordon(to both above messages :p )
15:11:45terun1s: I'm not sure how to implement the idea. in my patch, image file types are associated to imageviewer.rock and imageviewer is build for all bitmap targets. so all image file types are included to viewers.config and it causes the issue.
15:11:47Leargevaerts: Only during tagcache init, as far as I can see...
15:12:04n1steru: aha
15:12:11gevaertsLear: oh, right
15:12:28JdGordonyeah 4417 seems scary, but probably safe? untill we get preemtive scheduling
15:12:29*gevaerts missed the #ifdef __PCTOOL__
15:13:23n1sbut tagcache.c should call buffer_alloc and not do this directly anyway, right?
15:13:24gevaertsI assume commit() does file IO, which could yield as far as I know
15:13:43kugelteru: just preproces viewers.config?
15:14:11gevaertsoh, and it sleeps, which definitely yields
15:14:48*TheSeven knows why he doesn't like cooperative multitasking
15:14:49gevaertsSo yes, that bit could well be responsible for weird hard to reproduce issies
15:14:55Leargevaerts: But the main thread waits for the initialized flag or something to be set (hence the "in foreground" comment).
15:15:07gevaertsLear: but do other threads?
15:15:21gevaertsWell, other threads shouldn't be buffer_alloc()ing anyway I guess
15:16:27JdGordonthe buffer isnt required after the commit so there must be a better way to do this
15:16:40JdGordonwhich would also mean not neeing a reboot to commit
15:17:12gevaertsIt could steal the plugin buffer :)
15:17:38JdGordonany ideas how much it needs?
15:17:40*gevaerts finds dircache_steal_buffer()...
15:18:23gevaertsIt grabs the entire audio buffer basically
15:18:39kugelJdGordon: it needs exactly 32*1024*1024
15:18:53gevaertskugel: only if __PCTOOL__ is defined :)
15:18:56kugeloh, that's the pctool case
15:19:06gevaertsSo it's "safe" in the sense that no other allocations can mess up its idea of the world
15:19:17kugelwell, I stronly suspect it won't need more on the dap
15:19:17n1s32MB would be kind of hard on most targets ;)
15:19:44kugelerr, that's 32*M*B, oops (/me thought K)
15:21:36*JdGordon notes there is no locking on the plugin buffer also
15:23:05n1sthat's why it's so much fun hunting bugs, you usually dig up a whole bunch of bad things...
15:23:06kugelthat tempbuf code is strongly suspicious in any way
15:23:21kugelwhat if the audio buffer isn't big enough? it could overwrite codec or plugin buffer
15:24:05JdGordonI'm replacing it with plugin_get_buffer() and removing the dircache steal
15:25:02kugelhopefully it won't clash with skin engine which also uses the plugin buffer?
15:25:18gevaertsJdGordon: that may well be too small...
15:25:30*gevaerts doesn't like that code either
15:25:53JdGordonkugel: Lear said the main thread waits for init so it should be safe, but yes a proper fix is also needed
15:25:55*TheSeven suggests just throwing everything away and rewriting it from scratch
15:26:17JdGordongevaerts: I'm working on the assumption that it doesnt care how much it has, but the more the merrier

17:42:23wodzhow fancy should be our png decoder? I think we should support all color modes (including alpha channel). But what to do with 1)simple transparency 2) background chunk? This two adds much complexity to decoder

18:12:16bluebrotherhow did you check out the Rockbox source? This indicates that you checked out with a different (i.e. newer) client than you have running right now
18:12:34jimboi used svn to download it this morning
18:12:55jimboran a patch on it, which seemed to work
18:13:08bluebrotherwell, but how? If you see this message then you definitely used a different version of svn (or a different client) when checking out

18:13:31bluebrotherpatching the sources won't make a difference here.
18:14:15jimbowell when I got that error message I ran rockboxdev and entered just "e" when asked what flag to use
18:14:23*amiconn suspects that *writing* to 0x0.... area on PP actually writes to IRAM as well
18:14:30jimboit did its thing, and now i'm building
18:14:39*amiconn will test this theory soon
18:14:45bluebrotherrockboxdev.sh doesn't use svn at all
18:15:06jimbothen i'm not sure whats wrong :S
18:15:18jimboits still doing smoething though
18:16:10jimboi'll let it continue and see where i'm at
18:16:21amiconnHmm, or maybe not
18:20:32jimboyep got the subversion error again so i'm guessing it didn't work
18:20:40jimboshould i get teh source again and start from scratch?
18:24:53jimbohow did I get an older svn then?
18:25:01jimbois there a way to upgrade it?
18:25:04TheSevensvn up -r whatever
18:30:01pixelmawodz: I don't think sim tells much there, I think I'm going to try. What was the FS# again?
18:32:00wodzFS #11641 - try v1 patch
18:32:09jimboinside the rockbox directory, typed in svn up, it said this client is too old...
18:32:19TheSevenaha
18:32:31jimbothis client is too old to work with working copy '.'
18:32:43wodzsim tells something - bigger images don't load with error of out of memory from decoder
18:32:55TheSevenso you're using a working copy that has already been touched by a newer svn client with an older client
18:33:06TheSeventhere was an incompatible working copy format change some time ago
18:33:34TheSeveneither re-checkout it completely and don't touch it with newer SVN clients any more, or update *all* of your svn clients that might touch it
18:34:30pixelmawodz: was there something to pay attention with svn?

18:40:19pixelmaif it was only one failed hunk to correct manually... :\

18:52:39m0arMy clip+ has been acting strange the last couple of days, instead of skipping to the next track when pressing >>| it just skips 0.001 sec forward in the song. I have tried to locate the setting, but had no luck. What might I have touched?
18:53:48kugelhow did you measure the 0.001s?
18:54:02m0arMy mind os powerful.
18:54:16m0arkugel: Just estimating, it's prolly like 0.2 or sumting
18:54:41kugeluse real words please
18:55:08m0arkugel: Oh well, If I keep it pressed down it searches the track forward as usuam
18:55:33m0arkugel: but a swift click does not change the track, it just skips an extremely small bit forward
18:55:36m0arGet it?
18:55:58kugelperhaps you have enabled "prevent track skipping"
18:56:55wodzpixelma: when I finish transparency handling I'll provide patch witch will apply cleanly to svn

19:01:57m0arJust wondering, what is there to solve before the clip+ can be called stable?
19:04:17gevaertsPossibly USB, but also that it's not a good idea (as we noticed with the clip) to promote a target to stable when we're not doing a new release
19:05:25m0argevaerts: You mean filetransferring while connected via usb? What do you mean with the last thing?
19:07:00gevaertsm0ar: basically that declaring a target "stable" should be done at the same time that we release 3.7, or 3.8, or whatever. If it's done in between, various scripts and bits of the website get confused
19:07:45gevaertsThere are now e.g. various links to a 3.6 build for the Clip, which doesn't exist, because the Clip wasn't stable yet when 3.6 was released
19:08:36m0arAh, thank you
19:09:01gevaertsSo we either have to fix those, or just not declare targets stable at random times

21:23:57pleroherohello
21:24:08pleroheroI have a simple question...
21:24:44pleroherowhen a dynamic playlist (not saved) reaches its end it's deleted?
21:26:41pleroheroI usually play one track and then enqueue more tracks... but when the playlist reach its end its erased.
21:26:48clone4crwI think it's erased only when another one is created
21:26:58pleroherono
21:27:17pleroheroits automatically deleted
21:27:57pleroheroI use file browser to add a directory
21:27:57clone4crwAnd you want to be kept?
21:28:01pleroheroyes
21:28:16clone4crwon the main menu playlists > save current playlist
21:28:43pleroheroi dont want it to be physically saved
21:29:27pleroheroi just want to have a persistant playlist lets say
21:30:04pleroherojust like amarok or foobar playlist
21:30:13pleroheroyou add your songs to the playlist
21:30:25pleroheroit plays them in the order you want
21:30:42pleroheroif it ends its not destroyed
21:31:11pleroheronor you have to store it manuallly every time
21:31:46clone4crwoh i see what you mean.
21:31:46gevaertsIt doesn't look deleted to me...
21:32:00gevaertsplerohero: when it reaches the end, there's still Playlists->Current Playlist
21:32:59gevaertsok, that doesn't survive reboot
21:33:32clone4crwno, i think he's going to have to save it to disk.
21:34:37clone4crwSo, I created a playlist of some random songs, and hit stop, and it persists in Current Playlist and can resume it
21:35:05bertrikthis behaviour of rockbox confuses me a bit too
21:35:44gevaertsIt's in a very vague way related to not saving pitch and timestretch settings
21:36:11gevaertsI'd like not using the player for half an hour be the same as shutting it down and booting it again in half an hour
21:36:28clone4crwAnd that playlist is still there after I reboot. huh.
21:36:49gevaertsclone4crw: yes, it's a playlist that *ended* that behaves differently
21:37:17clone4crwOH. I have mine set to repeat all. That's why.
21:37:28gevaertsYes, it never ends then :)
21:38:25pleroheroi thought it was deleted
21:38:40clone4crwOK, so I set repeat to off, and I still see the playlist in Current Playlist
21:38:42pleroheroits in the Playlist->Current playlist
21:39:08gevaertsclone4crw: yes, until you reboot. (unless you just stopped it, which is different)
21:39:42gevaertsA playlist that didn't reach its end is *always* persisted
21:40:24clone4crwYeah, I see now. Hmmm... Think it should be an option to always persist unless a new one is started?

21:40:43gevaertsclone4crw: actually, I see no good reason to clear it
21:40:59gevaertsSo I don't see the need for an option. I just think current behaviour is wrong :)
21:41:11pleroherothanks for clearing this up! bye (i think it should be documented in the manual somehow)
21:41:42pleroheroif i want it stored ermanently i'll use repeat all
21:42:30pleroheroi think the behaviour of amarok or foobar playlist would be better.

21:47:23AlexP*:)
21:47:37AlexPbertrik: It should restart IMO
21:47:46*gevaerts disagrees
21:48:02AlexPHow do I play it again if I want to?
21:48:20slothearnit should stop at the last track if repeat isn't enabled.
21:48:26slothearnbut replay the last track if play is pressed
21:48:28plerohero@alexp you go to playlists->view current playlist
21:48:44AlexPSeems a bit of a long way round
21:48:51gevaertsIf I listen up to the end of a playlist, and then I fall asleep, and the next day I restart the player, and the start screen is set to WPS, should it restart the playlist? If so, why do need repeat modes?
21:49:17AlexPTo restart automatically
21:49:19pleroherobeacuase i'm lazy :-p
21:49:38AlexP(why there are repeat modes that is)

21:50:26gevaertsAlexP: I have to stop playback and leave the WPS first
21:50:41AlexPOK, I see that if you have it set to WPS on start
21:50:52gevaertsWhich is about as many keypresses as you need to go to current playlist and start again :)
21:51:05gevaerts(provided it gets saved)
21:51:21AlexPI don't actually mind if play restarts it or not, it just seems that the method of restarting is a bit baroque
21:51:32AlexPAnd yes, the real issue is the not saving it

21:51:40slothearnhere's a question, why do I sometimes have to use multiple keypresses on an iPod 5G?
21:51:55slothearndoesn't always work the first time. I've noticed this :O
21:52:31slothearnit's also very intolerant of accidental presses. like the menu/select reset combo
21:52:44slothearnthat sometimes needs to be like 2-3 times to get it to work.
21:52:59slothearnI'm assuming because my fingers slide ever so slightly and register as scrolls.
21:53:08gevaertsslothearn: I know there has been an issue with the first keypress after leaving a plugin, but I think that's fixed
21:53:20gevaertsApart from that, I'm not aware of any issues
21:53:29bertrikgevaerts, no, it's not fixed, but we do know what causes it
21:53:30slothearngevaerts: I thought it was just my iPod tbh, but it works fine in the official firmware
21:54:01domonoky1slothearn: the reset combo isnt controlled by rockbox, its a hardware feature..
21:54:05AlexPgevaerts: Would it be difficult to save the dynamic playlist? I'm assuming not very
21:54:17slothearndomonoky1: that's quite odd then :O

21:54:30gevaertsAlexP: I'd estimate three days to understand the code, and then change one line :)
21:54:43AlexPheh :)
21:55:06gevaertsI mean, it *is* saved normally
21:56:23AlexPyeah, just not when finished
21:57:03plerohero@alexp it's saved but it is moved to playlists->current playlist
21:57:37slothearnTwitter in IRC :-D fun
21:57:39gevaertsplerohero: it's *not* saved. It's gone after reboot
21:57:46pleroherothere are two behaviours hereoyt saving playlists after reboot and moving the current playlist when it reach its end
21:57:47AlexPplerohero: You don't need the @
21:58:28gevaertsEither that or the restore sees the end of playlist and then forgets the lot
21:58:34slothearn"al[tab]" message
21:58:52bertrikargh, so possibly someone at some point added extra code for the current behaviour :)
21:59:16gevaertsbertrik: possibly :)
21:59:28gevaertsBut I can't find out who it was unless I find where that code is :)
21:59:40*kugel also doesn't understand the people that prefer the most annoying splash & destroyed playlist over just restarting the playlist
22:00
22:00:03AlexPWell, I'm not too bothered about how to resume it, the main thing is saving a finished playlist over reboot
22:00:08gevaertskugel: I *do* understand that!
22:00:16gevaertsDon't you dare change *that* part!
22:00:44kugelI'm fine with repeat all so don't worry :)

22:28:12bertrikDoes loading a bookmark erase the current dynamic playlist?

22:58:32pixelmahow likely is something overflowing being the cause of the screen corruption problem and could an "stkov main" when doing something in the WPS be related?
22:59:02gevaertssomething overflowing could basically cause anything
22:59:16pixelmathe latter happens on my M5 now from time to time while skipping tracks, leaving or entering the WPS, asjusting volume or such
22:59:58pixelmais there something I could test to help debugging this?

23:00:45 Quit nihilanth (Read error: Connection reset by peer)
23:01:55gevaertsprobably. Now just to think what... :)
23:04:11gevaertspixelma: the easiest first test would probably to try a larger stack
23:04:21pixelmamaybe "catch mem accesses" can give me some addresses but that's not guaranteed
23:05:14pixelmagevaerts: where and how? :)
23:07:30gevaertspixelma: for ondio, firmware/target/sh/archos/app.lds. Change the 0x2000 to 0x4000
23:07:45gevaertsFor m5 unfortunately IRAM seems to be nearly full, so it's not that easy
23:08:26pixelmathe "stkov main" is on my M5

23:14:22nihilanthit's only supposed to take ~5 seconds right? should I try buttons again every so often or just keep them held down?
23:14:48gevaertsnihilanth: did you switch hold on and off? Sometimes that makes a difference
23:15:11nihilanthgevaerts, yeah I've done that a few times
23:15:18CIA-81r28176 build result: All green
23:15:22nihilanthit's being real stubborn
23:15:39Tornehold it for 30 seconds or more

23:16:17pixelmagevaerts: ok, I'll try the first on my Ondio and the latter on the M5
23:16:34nihilanthalright, i'll keep at it. thanks for the encouragement :P
23:16:37Torneit resets eventually, if you hold it long enough, every case we've heard of :)
23:16:57gevaertspixelma: http://pastebin.com/2KCgscpf should give you a much bigger main stack on m5, at the cost of less IRAM for plugins/codecs (so there may be some performance problems with some codecs). I'd use that for a while, and check the stack usage in the debug menu every now and then
23:17:17gevaertsThe big thing will be to find out what's using all this stack though

23:28:52[AndrewR]anything else I need to do?
23:29:36gevaertsYou're trying this with a simulator build?
23:29:42gevaertsDid you run make install?

23:30:22[AndrewR]if I rm rockboxui it rebuilds it with make
