#rockbox log for 2010-09-29

00:01:04brickshello, the 3.6 firmware for sansa clip v1 is giving me a 404 error.
00:02:33bricksIs there a mirror somewhere, or should I just go for the current build (I'm doing a new install)?
00:04:40ender`when 3.6 was released, clip wasn't considered stable yet, so the build doesn't actually exist - use the current build instead
00:04:58brickscool, thanks

02:46:28JdGordonfrom last nights buffering talk... I'm scared to think what would happen to the skin engine if it went to handle allocations instead of simple pointers
02:47:24JdGordonthe whole thing is linked trees, pointers to alloced arrrays, pointers to structs.. if even the block could move around it would be a nightmare
02:48:16JdGordonbut if the initial block could be compacted once we know how much has been used, and guarenteed to not be moved (without an exensive reload) then it might be ok

02:50:46Unhelpful@Torne: yes, i realize that special cases could potentially be expensive, my expectation was that they would also be very rarely *used*. the idea is that this sort of thing only happens on things like skin change, maybe a user changes one of the resizeable buffers that we can currently only size on boot, etc.
02:51:29Unhelpfulif there's a playback stall it won't surprise anybody much as it immediately follows a user interaction - the same thing already happens if you change to a theme w/ different AA size, and i have seen almost no complaint about it.

10:24:36bug2000Silly question, why I don't wish to be trolled for asking, but as I've noticed, Rockbox has a 3 month release cycle. I'd like to know if there is anything extremily wrong or lots of belated bug fixes which delay the release or there is just no apperant reason or what so ever.
10:26:37gevaertsThere's a combination of things going on I'd say
10:27:00pixelmain my experience the changes to the skin engine still aren't settled, e.g. you can experience screen cuorruption sometimes and in different ways on at least the targets with monochrome screens
10:27:37gevaerts(a) someone has to take the initiative to start the release process, and nobody has yet, and (b) several people (I'm one of them) feel that the recent skin changes aren't stable enough yet
10:27:50gevaertsPossibly (a) is caused by (b)
10:28:29bug2000I see, well, I can't help with that, I only use one spesific skin on a spesific device.

10:55:28bug2000gevaerts: Except it seems the normal rockbox build got newer font files in it.
10:58:40bug2000gevaerts: Also, according to rasher.dk, rockfont.bdf supports Hebrew, yet with either of the files [latest / fonts build] Hebrew isn't working correctly.

11:05:35TorneUnhelpful: if the special cases are very rarely used that makes them even *more* expensive in terms of binsize, code complexity and space for potential bugs to hide :)
11:06:25UnhelpfulTorne: i suppose. very cheap in terms of run time, and not hard to test as we already have lists of things we can't change without reboot right now. ;)
11:08:11Tornebut we don't test stuff particularly methodically a lot of the time. :)
11:08:44Tornei am just, mostly, waving my paw a bit and assuming that a special purpose malloc can be made to work fine :)
11:08:54Tornei have the vaguest of vague ideas about what that would be
11:08:58Tornei may well be wrong :)
11:09:25Unhelpfulcould just say "we have a real malloc, only for MMU devices" ;P
11:11:04Tornethere's not really a significnat benefit to the MMU here
11:11:13Torneunless you promote all allocations to multiples of 4kb
11:11:15Tornewhich would suck
11:11:23Torneand we'd need to start having actual pagetables :)
11:12:18UnhelpfulTorne: wouldn't a benefit w/ an MMU be that we could compact and remap existing allocations, while still using the classic malloc pointer interface instead of some sort of handle-based thing?
11:13:01Tornebut you can't.
11:13:16Torneyou can sort of half do it in a very limited way for chunks of 4kb, at the cost of loads of overhead and extra memory used
11:13:29Tornevirtual memory is not all that ;)
11:14:03Unhelpfulheh
11:15:03*Torne thinks a useful thing to do, at this point, would be to throw some logf's in there so someone can look and see how many buffer_allocs there actually are and what sizes they are and why they exist
11:15:55Tornemaybe later ;)
11:16:37bug2000gevaerts: Where can I get the real latest 8-rockfont.fnt?
11:16:56UnhelpfulTorne: useful things? is that how development works?
11:17:35Torneheh
11:18:43Torneoccasionally :)
11:20:05Unhelpfulit's more fun to debate how best to implement things i believe to be gross misfeatures :)

12:10:57Tornelike what?
12:11:06Torne(not questioning you, just curious)
12:11:23AlexPmainly skin stuff
12:11:45AlexPI only mean unhappy as in some bugs need squashing :)
12:11:57AlexPBut I may well have got the wrong end of the stick
12:15:25gevaertsTorne: until one or two weeks ago there were regular crash reports on the forums. Things have been improving since then, but there are still issues for some people
12:16:14Tornehm
12:16:24Tornei'm concerned about the recent spate of people having issues installing on ipod
12:16:44Tornebut maybe it's just a coincidence and they all have knackered drives :)
12:17:09LloreanSeveral of them seem to be 1st gen Nanos, right?
12:17:26Tornei think so
12:17:39Tornethere was also one guy reporting the "buttons don't work after hold" thing on ipodvideo
12:17:46Tornewhich we thought we fixed ages ago
12:18:00Tornebut then a couple of people complained it still happened on the mini
12:18:10Tornehadn't heard anyone mention it on any other model until now
12:18:43gevaertsI wonder if this is just a sign of a new large group of people discovering rockbox
12:18:53gevaertsWe have been in the news in some circles recently
12:18:54Tornepossibly.
12:19:13Torneoh, it's a good job nwe didn't do anything to host the psgroove thing it seems
12:19:21Tornesince sony are now suing the crap out of eveyrone who is
12:19:41pixelmaah, I wanted to look up when the fix got committed exactly, because the guy with the buttons not working after hold said he would be using r3.6
12:19:49Tornepixelma: i'm pretty sure it was long before 3.6
12:19:53pixelmaas in "release"
12:19:55Tornelemme check, it's on my watchlist
12:20:32LloreanWhat skin change seems to have caused all the instability?
12:20:36pixelmathere are also these instability issues on some Fuzes
12:20:54gevaertsLlorean: basically the entire skin handling was rewritten since 3.6
12:21:06pixelmaLlorean: there were quite a few in quick succession :\
12:21:18gevaertsSome instability is not really unexpected in those conditions
12:21:41Lloreangevaerts: True. I was just curious if it was done right after 3.6, or like... within the last month or so.
12:21:54LloreanI mean it seems like 3 months ought to be enough time to get stability at least reasonably recovered.
12:22:03Tornethe fix for the wheel thing was committed in july 2009 so it should be in 3.6
12:22:14gevaertsLlorean: part of it was gsoc
12:22:20Torneunless subsequent changes to the wheel driver (nano2g being merged with it) broke it again :)
12:24:20*Llorean will try to dig up his 1G Nano tomorrow.
12:24:43Torneyeah i should actually update my ipodvideo and test it for a bit

12:25:37*Llorean does wish Rockbox were releasing more consistently.
12:27:17TorneI'm still pondering if we should maybe provide *both* shutdown workarounds as alternatives
12:32:54 Quit petur (Quit: *plop*)
12:37:10LloreanTorne: What are they? How?
12:37:45TorneLlorean: currently the ipods clear the latter part of IRAM on shutdown to try and make startup not fail
12:37:56Tornethis doesn't seem to work for everyone, but it has no negative effect i'm aware of
12:38:16Tornethe older workaround of shutting down by rebooting to the OF made lots of people's players behave weirdly but fixes the problem for more people
12:39:37LloreanExcept those it makes behave weirdly?
12:40:07Torneno, some of those people are the same people :)
12:40:26LloreanWell new weird behavior doesn't really make it a "fix" does it?

14:27:36TorneOh right, yes :)
14:27:46TorneARMs without CP15 don't genreate alignment faults
14:27:51Tornethey just return rotated data, always
14:28:10Torneso ARM7TDMI and ARM9TDMI will just fuck up
14:28:34TorneARMs with CP15 default to generating alignment faults, but it can be turned off (until ARMv7 where it defaults to allowing them)
14:29:26Tornen1s: the beast probably aborts, ARMv6 still doesn't allow it by default even though it does the right thing
14:31:39n1sTorne: according to this http://svn.rockbox.org/viewvc.cgi/trunk/firmware/target/arm/imx31/crt0.S?r1=17458&r2=17495 strict alignment is disabled, not that i know why though
14:32:32Torneit probably shouldn't be
14:32:49Torneunless we have ARMv6 specific code which is using it specifically
14:33:19n1sis a misaligned long load faster than individual byte loads on v6?
14:33:26Tornenot if it's not cached
14:33:27Torneunaligned cache fills are slower and it only works for LDR, not LDM (or LDREX/etc)
14:33:48Tornei forget the exact cycle timing of doing the load unaligned
14:34:08Tornebut generally the code would have to be *really* heavily dependent on accessing unaligned data for it to be faster to not fix it
14:34:30n1swe do use unaligned loads explicitely on coldfire in some place(s) as it's faster there
14:34:50Tornewell, the core->cache interface only knows aligned accesses
14:35:02Torneso the unaligned accesses are emulated on core by rotates and stuff
14:36:02Torneif we do actually do it anywhere i'd be curious to see benchmarks
14:36:03n1shmm, the case i remember is bitstream reading in codecs so if it fetches subsequent memory to the cache probably doesn't hurt
14:36:16Tornen1s: well the cache->core transfer is more expensive too, is my point
14:36:21Torneit's not just potentially having to bring in more cachelines.
14:36:22n1sah
14:37:07*Torne shrugs
14:37:23Tornesince we run on armv5 there must be an aligned versoin of any code that does it too
14:37:27Torneso it would be easy to bench :)
14:37:32Tornewell, easysh
14:37:50n1si could bench on my beast, although test_codec runs are abit skewed i think, since when the core is running at full speed memory accesses will be relatively slower

16:47:25HeWhoMustNotBeNaits a conspiracy against me, a conspiracy of silence
16:47:30LloreanA setting for "preferred sample rate" that resamples everything to it?
16:47:39amiconnTorne: Okay, regardless of how it's generated, PP fires data abort on unaligned accesses
16:48:04*Llorean would prefer, then, if there was also an option of "native" that disabled features incompatible with native sample rates, but played things back at their native ones, too, possibly
16:48:08Torneright, but htat's unrelated to whether any other ARM does
16:48:14Tornebecause it's external.
16:48:16n1sLlorean: i'm no expert but that's the approach i think seemed the most feasible from previous discussions on the subject

16:50:06amiconnI.e. it calculates how much the charger is allowed to draw for a certain amount of total current, but that calculation is a bit off
16:50:18HeWhoMustNotBeNai should be able to accomplish that I think, being polite that is
16:50:19LloreanHeWhoMustNotBeNa: Though, if it's *truly* noob-ey, you might check the manual first to avoid being referred to it.

16:51:28n1sLlorean: it's not only a problem of dsp things but switching the actual DAC to a new samplerate needs, to be done and at an exact time and this switching introduces glitches AFAIU
16:52:12HeWhoMustNotBeNais it safe / advisable to use the rockbox utility to install rockbox for a noob like me?
16:52:24Lloreann1s: If you don't care about gapless, couldn't you let the PCM buffer empty of 44.1 content, switch, then start decoding 48 content?
16:52:42LloreanHeWhoMustNotBeNa: Rockbox Utility is intended to be very safe.
16:53:09n1sLlorean: probably
16:53:13HeWhoMustNotBeNaexcellent. thanks Llorean
16:53:38TorneLlorean: yeah, that'd be the easiest way
16:53:40Lloreann1s: I'd say that sort of thing is reasonable enough for people who want multiple sample rates mixed.
16:54:05LloreanI'd *suspect* that at least within a single album they'll always be the same sample rate, and that's (to my experience at least) where gapless is generally important.
16:54:46n1sLlorean: i'm cynical so i expect people will complain whatever we do :)
16:55:00LloreanYou could also just not bother fixing any of the DSP stuff to work with 48khz, and just require people to use resampling if they want DSP, since that affects audio quality anyway. :-P

17:15:53evilnick_BIsn't it that a better resampler is too expensive in terms of cpu cycles?
17:16:02LloreanWould adding a higher quality resampler be easier than enabling native playback in a "no DSP, no crossfade, no gapless" way?
17:16:19soapthe expense is only born by those who choose to use it.
17:16:49soapLlorean, I would think a higher quality resampler would be /preferable/ to "no DSP, etc"
17:16:57Lloreanevilnick_B: Yeah, it's like saying "aren't the constant spinups of FLAC too expensive on disk targets?", people can deal with it if that's what they really want.

17:19:19 Quit AlexP (Remote host closed the connection)
17:19:36soapI don't care which DSP is affected. If we consider DVD audio rips there is a source of legit 48K material which should not be burdened by either forceable PC-side resampling or lack-of-DSP. A good resampler should have identical perceptual quality to native 48k, so I don't see the advantage of native 48k playback if it would be burdensome on the rest of the Rockbox audio chain.
17:20:23soap(and when I say "I don't care" I mean "I don't think it matters")
17:20:44LloreanPeople aren't going to stop asking for native support just because there's a good resampler.

17:21:47LloreanBut this is one that could not only be provided, but falls into the category of "better making use of the hardware's features"
17:22:11soapIf you could tell them "Rockbox's resampler is just as good as native 48k" (which you can't now)...
17:22:53soapbut a better resampler serves more people than native 48k on the hardware which can do 48k.
17:23:14saratoga_i think native 48k is probably not that hard to do
17:23:18LloreanHow bad is our resampler?
17:23:22saratoga_really bad
17:23:27soapit allows all the crazy sampling rates, and supports all the (powerful enough) software decoding targets.
17:23:33LloreanFor 48->44.1 is it noticeable?
17:23:35saratoga_most of the stuff will work with 48k more or less, since its so close to 44.1k
17:23:48bertrikLlorean, saratoga_ why do you think it's really bad? Has anyone ever measured it?
17:23:52saratoga_could probably use the EQ as is and just shift the center frequency values a couple percent
17:24:00saratoga_bertrik: its linear interpolation
17:24:04Lloreanbertrik: I don't know how bad it is, that's why I'm asking. I've just been told it's bad.
17:24:30bertriksaratoga_, so, that doesn't have to be so bad
17:24:45LloreanIs linear interpolation really that bad a way to resample audio? I don't know much about it, but it seems it'd be semi-reasonable.
17:24:56saratoga_theres only one way to do linear interpolation, so it pretty much has to be bad

17:29:07HeWhoMustNotBeNaLlorean, it worked...i have rockbox on my nano now.........many thanks
17:29:30HeWhoMustNotBeNabut how do i switch between rockbox and the default os?
17:29:41gevaertsThat's described in the manual
17:30:03HeWhoMustNotBeNathere now
17:30:58saratoga_bertrik: at FS/3, resampling via linear interpolation down by 20% results in an aliased copy of the signal thats attenuated by 7dB relative to the peak
17:31:15saratoga_source peak i mean
17:32:29HeWhoMustNotBeNai havent used this thing for ages and i forgot what the select button was
17:32:30HeWhoMustNotBeNaoops
17:32:34 Quit tchan (Quit: WeeChat 0.3.3-dev)
17:32:36sudomani'm looking at rockbox/firmware/target/arm/ipod/button-clickwheel.c line 357: "static bool hold_button = false;". is that correct? and does it have anything to do with this: http://www.rockbox.org/tracker/task/5230 ?
17:33:18gevaertssudoman: how can a variable declaration on its own be incorrect?
17:34:07Lloreansaratoga_: We're primarily talking about 48->44.1 though
17:34:13HeWhoMustNotBeNagevaerts, it says shutting down and then it restarts :(

17:34:38saratoga_i'll try 9%
17:35:14pixelmaLlorean: I could make out an additional hiss when playing back a really bad quality 11.025kHz file in swcodec Rockbox compared to it being played back in foobar2000 but that's an extreme example (and since it was bad quality to start with...)
17:35:16bertriksaratoga_, the signal is a 16 kHz sine I assume?
17:35:31sudomangevaerts: well i'm not very experienced in this, but in context, it looks like the the test: "if (hold_button)" is only being performed if the "hold_button" in the previous test is true, but it should be peformed if there's any difference to "hold_button_old"
17:36:12sudomanwhy is "hold_button_old" automatically false? what if it was on before?
17:36:25sudoman* what if it was on hold?

17:40:21sudomangevaerts: what do you think?

17:43:06pixelmaI believe preglow also had a distinct opinion about our resampler ;)
17:43:39pixelmajust thinking he could add some facts to the discussion
17:43:40saratoga_didn't he write it?
17:44:47bertriksaratoga_, I'm not sure how to interpret that. Isn't the blue peak at around 1050 the same as the red peak at around 1250 the same, except resampled?
17:45:12saratoga_bertrik: yes, when you resample the size of each frequency bin changes, so the FFT peaks won't line up

17:45:50bertrikThe next highest blue peak is about 25 dB down

17:50:41saratoga_so as you decrease the test tone frequency you will decrease the aliasing

17:54:01saratoga_do you have matlab? i can give you the code
17:54:03saratoga_its just 2 lines long
17:54:13bertrikno, I don't
17:54:27saratoga_ah ok
17:55:00saratoga_well heres what i did: http://pastebin.com/0qWR3T55
17:55:05saratoga_should give you an idea what you're looking
17:56:16saratoga_the basic problem here is that linear interpolation takes quiet high frequency noises and turns them into (perceptually louder) mid frequency noises
17:57:59n1show much more complex are better resampling algos?
17:58:34n1slinear needs, like a an add and a shift per sample, right?
17:59:18gevaertssudoman: yes, isn't that what happens?
18:00
18:00:40bertrikn1s, it uses a multiply for each input sample plus some adding
18:01:18n1sbertrik, oh
18:01:49saratoga_its only a shift if you're resamplilng by a factor of 2 :)

18:03:26sudomangevaerts: it looks like "if (hold_button)" on line 368 won't be tested if hold_button is false because it is nested by the previous condition wich assumes that hold_button_old is false. so if the hold button is turned off then the input won't be unlocked.
18:04:26n1sright, i wasn't thinking :)
18:04:31sudomangevaerts: maybe line 368 shouldn't be nested by line 364
18:04:44saratoga_cubic interpolation would be the next simplest thing, i think it needs something like a dozen multiplies per output sample
18:04:45bertrikHas anyone currently online ever done an ams sansa recovery?
18:05:10gevaertssudoman: "which assumes that hold_button_old is false"? Where does it do that?
18:05:11saratoga_though maybe non-polynomial resampling would be more efficient
18:05:32gevaertssudoman: except for the first time after boot
18:05:37saratoga_i really don't know much about the various algorithms other then linear < cubic spline < sinc
18:05:46bertrikProbably somebody has already designed 48->44.1 khz algorithms
18:05:51sudoman"hold_button_old = hold_button; hold_button = button_hold();" right above
18:06:09gevaertssudoman: That sets hold_button_old to whatever hold_button is, not false
18:06:26sudomanoops, i meant: " static bool hold_button = false; bool hold_button_old; /* normal buttons */ hold_button_old = hold_button;"
18:06:29saratoga_yeah theres hundreds on PC, but most of them use 50-100MHz on an Intel machine since they insist on having >120dB accuacry or something stupid
18:07:17gevaertssudoman: did you miss the "static" there?
18:07:24n1ssaratoga_: "like a dozen multiplies per output sample" assuming 44.1kHz output in stereo would mean about 1 million multiplies per second, which *should* be doable
18:07:27bertrikWhat accuracy would be considered reasonable for rockbox, something like 60 dB?
18:07:56saratoga_i'm not sure
18:08:01sudomannoob question: what does static do?
18:08:12n1sit makes the variable static
18:08:27saratoga_i guess we should probably run the rockbox resampler (on the Sim) through RMAA and see what that says
18:08:31n1s(it survives after the function exits)
18:08:56 Quit n1s (Quit: Lämnar)
18:09:00sudomanoh, so it only runs once?
18:09:06gevaertsit
18:09:11gevaerts's only initialised once, yes
18:09:24saratoga_i wonder if its just easier to support 48kHz though
18:09:29sudomanok, ic sorry for the confusion
18:09:53saratoga_i think the EQ wouldn't care at all since its only a 9% difference, so unless you want a 20kHz EQ band its going to be the same coefficients anyway
18:10:30saratoga_probably just a matter of fishing out all those nasty built in assumptions about how long a sample lasts in the PCM system
18:11:22bertrikAFAIU, the sample frequency is important basically only in apps/dsp.c where we now have NATIVE_FREQUENCY, so we could make NATIVE_FREQUENCY a variable instead of a constant
18:12:29saratoga_apply_crossfeed would need slightly different delay constants, but i doubt anyones going to notice
18:12:44bertrikah, yes indeed
18:13:46saratoga_we should probably ask Blue_Dude
18:13:53saratoga_he was the last person to really work on the PCM code
18:14:04saratoga_but i don't see anything in there thats all that tied to the exact value of sample rate
18:14:46saratoga_EQ will fail badly if you try to use it on say 32kHz audio, but its probably reasonable to just disable it for really low sample rates or else force resampling in that case
18:16:18saratoga_cross fade could be tricker to deal with, since i'm not sure how easy it is to see what the sample rate of a track is before you start playing it

22:16:55evilnick_Bal4711: A word of warning, unless you have experience in coding/cracking encryption or a vast amount of spare time then it'll be an uphill struggle.
22:17:06evilnick_BActually, it will be anyway even if you do have those skills
22:17:52kinkyevilnick_B: seems like they're all mp3's with variable bitrate, 128kbps (v1)
22:18:23al4711Sorry, but I'am not sure if I understand you right evilnick_B. Do you mean the 6st Generation is in someway encrypted?!
22:18:55saratoga_it was, but someone cracked the encryption a year or two ago
22:19:17al4711Do you think it is possible to replace the current IPod SW with rockbox on this device?
22:19:29saratoga_yes of course its possible
22:19:30al4711Ah ok I will google for this issue
22:19:35al4711;-)
22:19:38evilnick_BAnything is possible, but it's a very difficult and time-consuming job
22:19:42saratoga_did you read the wikipage?
22:19:55al4711I'am started
22:20:08saratoga_well stop wasting time

22:20:30evilnick_Bkinky: Your best bet would be to post on the forum/bug-tracker and attach a file that doesn't work if at all possible
22:20:56saratoga_or try one of the files in the sim
22:21:14kinkyevilnick_B: will do that tomorrow, need sleep now :o
22:21:15al4711What do you mean?!
22:21:30saratoga_what does who mean?
22:21:50al4711I refer to 'saratoga_: well stop wasting time'
22:23:11saratoga_stop wasting our time because you haven't bothered to read up on whats involved
22:24:41AlexPsomewhat harsh
22:24:53al4711Ok I have seen that it is a lot more then just write some code ;-( . You need also to dig into the HW. Thanks for the hint to the NewPort page I think I will follow your advise.

22:25:48 Part kinky
22:27:17saratoga_somewhat more direct
22:27:25saratoga_the less harsh version was less understandable
22:27:33saratoga_;)
22:27:35al4711I'am sure there are some guys from time to time to want to port rockbox and after reading what does this means the knowledge or the time consuming the most guys quickly rethink about this idea
22:27:44al4711now I'am one of this guys ;-)
22:27:52saratoga_yeah someone does this every day or two
22:28:15al4711I will try to find a device on which rockbox works stable.
22:29:25al4711maybe there should be a new faq entry 'how can I port rockbox to my device' or something similar
22:29:38AlexPThere is, it is the NewPort wiki page
22:30:05al4711I have overread this point in the FAQ sorry

23:00:21wodzI don't change #if #endif order
23:03:42wodznow I understand
23:03:57gevaertsYou removed grey_resize_bitmap, so things now use simple_resize_bitmap
23:04:42wodzyes but I changed simple_resize_bitmap to work in that case. I missed that it won't be compiled at all on monochrome
23:05:22gevaertsyes
