#rockbox log for 2010-12-06

00:00:06pixelmaabout the rockbox calendar in gmail
00:00:10AlexPyes
00:00:20pixelmaeven without account?
00:00:22n1sbut flac needs to read much more data from the flash which also costs energy
00:00:37AlexPOh, I don't know if there is a web interface
00:00:48gevaertsmusepack seems to be better at some bitrates than mp3. Not worth switching for that though I think
00:01:04marinesok, thanks
00:01:19gevaertsEspecially since it's worse at other bitrates
00:01:32n1slloking at the gigabeat F numbers mpc is ~9MHz faster than mp3
00:01:32AlexPpixelma: But I think there is a way
00:01:59AlexPpixelma: yes you can, one mo
00:02:22n1son the as3525 that page claims the 320kbpsmp3 is faster than all other mp3 files
00:02:40pixelmaAlexP: I think other google "services" like spreadsheet are available without the account (maybe setable by the starteer) but am not sure about others
00:02:43AlexPpixelma: https://www.google.com/calendar/embed?src=rockbox.calendar@gmail.com&gsessionid=OK
00:03:02the_KyleDoes the UI simulator support spoken menus and .talk files? Since I'm unable to use the utility at this point, I'd like to be able to test a command line script to create proper talk files.
00:03:17n1sthe_Kyle: yes
00:03:29AlexPpixelma: Let me know if that works for you, then I'll add to my mail
00:03:30pixelmaAlexP: ok, that works. Maybe this should be sent to the ml too?
00:03:53the_Kylen1s: Thanks.
00:04:16pixelmaAlexP: I only see a blank month though. I assumed nothing was set for December yet
00:04:39AlexPpixelma: try february, there should be something there
00:05:00pixelmayes, there are dates for 3.8
00:05:05AlexPcool
00:05:17AlexPIf you go the other way, 3.7 should be there too
00:05:45AlexPmaybe only 3.7.1
00:05:50AlexPI can't remember :)
00:05:56pixelmaI see 3.7.1 but not the one before
00:06:05gevaertsWe'd add the point releases, but they can change quickly
00:06:13gevaertsI don't think we added 3.7
00:06:27gevaertsI added 3.7.1 to see if it worked
00:06:37AlexPNo, I think I added 3.7 in my previous demonstration, but didn't bother for this

00:29:24the_KyleIs it possible to load a prebuilt Rockbox release into a simulator for its target, or do I need to checkout everything from svn and build? If I need to checkout from svn, do I just use the 20101126 date to get the 3.7.1 release from trunk, or does the Rockbox svn have a branch for each release?
00:31:06gevaertsthe_Kyle: there are pre-built simulators (for windows) at http://rasher.dk/rockbox/simulator-3.7/
00:31:06JdGordon|you have to build the sim for the target
00:31:12JdGordon|its a simulator not an emulator
00:31:36gevaertsThe changes between 3.7 and 3.7.1 are minor and won't affect voice files
00:32:00the_Kylegevaerts: Problem is I'm running on Linux and need to build the sim there.
00:32:04gevaertsah, ok

01:45:32rasherthe_Kyle: Yeah, you can build voice files as part of the build system
01:46:02rasherAssuming you can use your synthesizer from perl somehow, you could add support for another synthesizer
01:46:35rasherSeems the wiki has been scrubbed of mention of how to do this
01:46:38*rasher frowns
01:47:35kugelgevaerts: I suppose I should rather use that instead of *context then
01:48:32gevaertsHave you tested it in rockbox?
01:48:40the_Kylerasher: Not sure if I can use it from Perl or not, although I know I can use system commands. I don't think either of the synthesizers I'd like to use have perl bindings directly.
01:49:00rasherthe_Kyle: system commands can be called from perl :) That's good enough
01:49:06kugelgevaerts: no
01:49:08rasherthe_Kyle: check tools/voice.pl
01:49:20gevaertsBetter do that first then :)
01:49:49kugelgevaerts: I think the signaling stuff requires larger stacks, at least sigaltstack returned ENOMEM with a small stacks
01:49:52kugelstack*
01:49:58*the_Kyle checks the voice tool. I'm sure I can at least get eSpeak to work. Kinda like SVox Pico for this, but either will do.

01:50:26rasherthe_Kyle: espeak is already available (and should be in rbutility as well, in fact)
01:50:37rasherthe_Kyle: the build system has a path for selecting a voice build, which you then end by "make voice" which should give you a voice file
01:52:31kugeland it looks like a large hack too :)

02:20:58the_Kylerasher: Any pointers to docs for making this work with eSpeak?
02:21:38rasherthe_Kyle: simply running tools/configure as if you wanted to build Rockbox should let you do that already
02:22:33the_Kylerasher: Oh yes, must be in the questions. I think I missed it, since when I ran it I was focused on building the simulator.
02:22:53*the_Kyle checks the build system for the voice file build
02:23:04rasherI forget how it goes, you may have to select advanced
02:23:13rasherAnd then "make voice", I think
02:23:16rasherIt's been a while
02:24:11the_KyleBy the way, how do I turn off my clip+ simulation? I can't seem to find the key that is mapped to the power button.

03:06:18the_KyleVoice build process is still frozen, so I think it's waiting for input. Just not sure what I need to tell it. It hasn't asked for anything. There's no hard disk activity of any kind.
03:08:11the_KyleI can confirm that it's waiting for input. There's no help, however. I tried "help" and "?" with only an error message that says the option is unsupported.
03:10:04the_KyleOh. I think I got it. I pressed enter, and now it asks for a language.
03:12:57the_KyleFor future reference: tools/configure, target, advanced, voice, enter, language number, TTS option. Then make voice. If someone could please add that to the wiki documentation. Thanks.
03:16:15the_KyleI would like the ability to change the speed, pitch and gender of the eSpeak synthesizer. Is this possible? Is it just a simple edit of the voice build tool?

03:27:27the_KyleI need more information about −−encopts. It says it sets encoder manual options. Is this speex options?
03:27:41rasherYes
03:27:55rasherThough I'm not sure you should be modifying those
03:28:05rasherI think the voice system may make some assumptions
03:28:21rasherCan't hurt to try, if you want to lower the filesize or whatever
03:29:32the_Kylerasher: I want to speed up the voice, which should reduce the size enough. I was thinking of trying to increase quality, since I don't have to worry so much about size if speech is faster.
03:30:17the_KyleSince I'm only running a simulation at this point, I'll go ahead and try it. If it breaks, I can just build again without bricking a Sansa.
03:30:46rasherWell there's no risck of bricking by trying out different voice files
03:30:58rasherBut using the sim is far easier of course
03:31:47the_KyleWell, being blind and having a screen reader on the computer definitely helps. Then I can just move the voice file that I like to the clip+ when I get it working.
03:39:08 Nick noamsml_ is now known as noamsml (~noamsml@75.45.232.129)
03:44:44the_KyleAre rbspeexenc options different from the standard speex encoder?
03:45:53 Quit designate72 (Ping timeout: 260 seconds)
03:46:11the_KyleMy voice files only use 8KB of disk space if I change the speex options at configure time. I didn't try the simulation, because I think I can safely assume it won't talk if it's that small.
03:49:30the_KyleOh. I think this is going to work. Looks like rbspeexenc only takes the short speex options, and I was trying to set long options as in the speex manpage.
03:49:52the_KyleIt's taking a lot longer to encode this time, which seems to be a good sign.
03:50:59the_KyleOuch! 1.5 MB? Well, my player will be 8 GB, so I'll try the simulation and see if it works. But that bitrate is a bit high, so I'll expect a slowdown.
03:53:27the_KyleCan I use my rbspeexenc to create .talk files?
03:53:53rasherthe_Kyle: I believe rbspeexenc is simply the standard speex encoder with something stripped out
03:54:04rasherSo the answer to your question would be yes
03:54:59rasherthe_Kyle: I don't really know much about that. voice.pl has a mode for generating .talk files, but it never saw much testing I think. You'd have to invoke it manually
03:55:10the_Kylerasher: So then could I safely pipe espeak through sox to create the speex files and name them with the appropriate .talk extension also?
03:55:37rasherI think you should use rbspeexenc
03:56:16the_KyleThanks. I'll try rbspeexenc and see if it works, although I can't see why it wouldn't work.
03:59:23the_KyleDoes anybody know if rbspeexenc will take a pipe, or do I need to create a temporary wav file?
03:59:27rasherthe_Kyle: something like ./voice.pl -C -e=rbspeexenc -E="-rbspeexenc options" -s=espeak -S="-espeak options" /path/to/dir

05:00
05:00:52rasherMaybe just delete un-activated accounts older than a few weeks?
05:01:31scorchedont they have to be activated in order to have a signature?
05:01:53rasherdunno, I thought that's what saratoga_ was saying
05:02:31scorchethere are currently 788 users awaiting activation from march of 2008 to today
05:03:08saratoga_you could do an SQL query that deleted users with a sig and zero posts, and that would get them, but since they never post no one ever sees their sigs
05:03:49scorchei suppose that is an idea
05:04:17rashersaratoga_: it's still gaining them inbound links
05:04:19the_KyleI'm not able to make Rockbox speak a directory name. I created a dirname.talk file in the directory, just as the voice howto on the wiki says to do, but Rockbox is still spelling the name.
05:04:49rasherthe_Kyle: did you turn on talk clips for folders? I blieve it's a setting seperate from the one for files
05:05:51the_Kylerasher: I did. But I just found my problem I think. I called the file dirname.talk and it needs to be called _dirname.talk. Sorry, my speech didn't speak the underscore, and somehow I missed it the first time I spelled the name of the file.
05:07:00the_Kylerasher: Yes. That did fix the problem. Sorry for the mixup.

07:47:18clear_runwaynot really. just fan-worship or whatever
07:48:09[Saint]It's not really surprising from a technical point of view...the gameboy/gameboy are hardly power-houses when it comes to performance ;)
07:48:33[Saint]and, the Nano2G is one of the more powerful DAPs that Rockbox supports.

07:49:55clear_runwayjust saying. i'm actually a little more surprised about the video, and it not being supported without RB. apple has some 'splaining to do.
07:51:12[Saint]Not really, it's more of a novelty...watching video on a 176x132 screen is not something that can be done for long periods.
07:51:24clear_runwaytrue
07:51:31[Saint]This I know, as I own several Nano2Gs.
07:52:19clear_runwaystill, I watched the third lotr movie with no problems. legally ripped from my collection and converted.
07:53:02[Saint]It is also very, very common for a manufacturer to produce a device that doesn't do even half the things it is capable of, as then there wouldn't be as much of a market for "the next big thing" later on.

08:00:34[Saint]TheSeven was gifted a Classic fairly recently (3 weeks ago?), and is working on it.
08:00:47timcccbut thats great to hear saint. the large capacity ipods are perfect for rockbox :D can't wait.
08:01:33[Saint]clear_runway: I think you're getting your classics confused, not the iPod 1G...the the "Classic" iPod 6th gen
08:01:40MaxHRIs there a way to change the default behaviors for what happens when buttons are pressed in certain modes? I am using the sansa firmware
08:02:09clear_runwayah.
08:02:16[Saint]Apple dropped the confusion ball calling it a Classic, as the Apple site now refers to the older iPods as "classic" also.
08:02:58[Saint]MaxHR: This isn't a place to discuss the behaviour of the original firmware sorry.
08:03:18clear_runwaywikipedia calls it the "classic 6g" and retroactively applies this label to all previous models, iirc

08:05:15[Saint]what is it exactly you're wanting to change?
08:06:02MaxHRfor example, during now playing mode, the down button will bring you back to main menu, I would like it to show current playlist
08:07:44[Saint]You can achieve that quite easily by editing the keymap for your player, but when I say "quite easily" I mean in my opinion...not necessarily in yours.
08:08:30***Saving seen data "./dancer.seen"
08:08:30[Saint]You'll need to download the Rockbox source code, and have a development environment set up to consider doing it.
08:08:52clear_runwaysound like fun...and by fun i mean hell.
08:10:40[Saint]editing a keymap is one of the simpler changes a user with no/limited experience in programming could attempt...it only seems daunting as people sem to expect to open up the .rockbox folder on the device, change/delete a file...and it's magically done.
08:11:36[Saint]Whereas in reality you need to apply your changes to the source and compile your own build every time.
08:11:41MaxHR[Saint]: ok, so I need to recompile it from source? there isn't just a settings file to edit
08:12:00[Saint]correct, and no there is not.

08:15:23MaxHRare there any plans in future to make changing settings easier than having to recompile? Rockbox is nice, but much of the interface to me needs to be freindlier, I have a few ideas on this that I would change right away...
08:15:53clear_runwayof course, thats the beauty of open source

08:16:44 Join JdGord [0] (~jd@122.110.123.172)
08:17:06[Saint]MaxHR: The problem with that statement is, you're not changing a "setting"...settings are already configurable on the player.
08:18:20[Saint]I'm sure youi're thinking it's as simple as "make this key do X as opposed to Y", but you also need to consider what to do with the original functions of key X.
08:18:35MaxHRso keymap is not a setting? or the default behaviour of what to do when player first turns on?
08:19:22[Saint]keymaps are not classed as a setting, no.
08:20:30clear_runwayyes, it would be impractical, but it's better than recompiling the whole thing
08:21:10[Saint]No, certainly not.
08:22:35the_KyleListening to MIDI file playback, it seems to work better than I expected, except that it sounds like sustains aren't supported. Is this a known issue?
08:22:41clear_runwayit's just that, it scares people off. most people find it hard enough to edit a config file. text scares people. code doubly so.
08:22:46MaxHRI know nothing of how rockbox is done, but I remember using vdr in linux, changing keymap for the remote control just involved editing one file, no recompile
08:23:29[Saint]clear_runway: you're looking at it like Rockbox is a "product" though, it isn't.
08:23:42clear_runwayI mean, even freaking dwarf fortress has a gui (okay, sort of) for changing keybindings ingame
08:24:00[Saint]It is made by developers, *for* developers...and if everyday-joe uses it and gets a kick out of it, great. ;)
08:24:39clear_runwayalright, fair enough

08:30:40JdGordHere is best
08:32:42MaxHRhmm, ok, well first idea would be to have a button that would bring up the current playlist directly from the now playing screen
08:33:17[Saint]can't you do that with Hotkey?
08:33:36[Saint]matter of fact...isn't playlistviewer the default for WPS in that instance?
08:34:16MaxHRIm not familiar with that (hotkey)... but currently, none of the buttons on my sansa will go directly to the current playlist from now playing screen
08:34:57[Saint]read your players manyual...it should be Settings - General Settings - Hotkey IIRC
08:35:29[Saint]it *should* be enabled by default also..but you'll need to consult the manual for the correct keymapping
08:35:33MaxHRok, thankyou, will check that out
08:35:39the_KyleI didn't find a hotkey setting, but there is the quick screen, which may do what you want.
08:36:29MaxHRok, second idea would be to auto resume now playing when powering the player back up, assuming there is a current playlist that hasn't yet ended

08:38:37[Saint]that does exactly what you want, playback will resume when the player powers back up again.
08:38:47MaxHRnice, thx
08:39:24[Saint]the_Kyle: you'll find Hotkey settings in Settings - General Settings - Hotkey (assuming you're not using a truly ancient build)
08:41:19MaxHRhmm, I see the wps hotkey setting, currently set to display current playlist... but none of the player buttons do this
08:41:56the_Kyle[Saint]: I have 3.7, but there/s no hotkey in general settings. Could this be because I'm running the simulator for now? Once I have my clip+ and install it there, will I have this setting?
08:42:02[Saint]it's a key combination...not a seperate key
08:42:23[Saint]consult the manual on this one sorry, I don;t have the target so I can't tell you offhand.
08:44:39MaxHRok, thats what I was hoping, that the down key function could be chaned (w/o recompile)
08:45:11[Saint]it will still retain it's original function.
08:45:34[Saint]Hotkey just adds a secondary function to a grouping of keys.

08:48:06[Saint]None of the Clip(s) use it actually.
08:48:15[Saint]odd.
08:48:23the_KyleInteresting. Maybe keys can't be grouped on the clip+?
08:48:43the_Kyleor any of the clips?
08:49:12the_KyleSeems like a possible hardware limitation.
08:50:07[Saint]I'm not sure that's it...the Clip(s) all support hardware hold no?
08:50:56the_KyleAs far as I know, they do. Is there a way to enable it at buildtime?
08:51:25[Saint]"it"?
08:51:44the_KyleSorry, I mean the hotkey setting.
08:52:01[Saint]you could simply uncomment #define HAVE_HOTKEY in the players config file.
08:52:26[Saint]yeah, you could uncomment #define HAVE_HOTKEY and see if it "magically works".
08:52:40the_KyleThat was easy. Well, here goes a test.
08:53:01[Saint]I'd assume it's disabled for a reason...but stranger things have happened.
08:53:21MaxHRanybody know where manual tells what the wps hotkey combo is? I am googling and also browsing manual, nothing yet
08:54:28the_KyleWell, I can test here, since it's just the simulator at the moment. Is there anything I need to do differently for that, or would uncommenting the hotkey setting in the clip+ target work on both the real player and the simulator?
08:55:29[Saint]should work for both.
08:55:37[Saint]the_Kyle: ^
08:56:11[Saint]MaxHR: Section 4.5

09:12:47[Saint]to make it a lot easier, just take your config.cfg file and delete everything except for the volume string...set that value to the value you want to volume to be set to at each boot, then save it as "fixed.cfg" and place it in the .rockbox folder along with your config.cfg file

09:14:28MaxHRaww, ok, I understand, and I just discovered I can edit the config file right on the player, thought I would have to do it on computer via usb
09:15:21[Saint]the_Kyle: My guess is that there's no keymap for it, probably the reason it isn't defined.
09:15:58[Saint]IIRC the Clip(s) keymaps were pretty cramped up even before Hotkey was added.
09:16:17the_Kyle[Saint]: Probably no sense defining it in that case, since it won't do anything if no key is mapped for that function.
09:16:51the_KyleIt would seem that everything is already mapped to a function.
09:17:51the_KyleI personally wouldn't see a problem with putting things on the quick screen, but it seems that some options don't allow for that.
09:18:14the_KyleI couldn't add the playlist stuff for example.
09:19:00the_KyleShuffle and repeat are there, however, and I'll probably keep those as they are, considering I use them a lot.
09:20:12the_KyleBut playlist view does seem to be disabled, meaning that there is no context menu, either to put it on the quick screen or anything else.
09:22:28[Saint]what are you wanting on the quickscreen?
09:23:36the_KyleI thought the playlist view may be able to be put there.
09:24:30[Saint]Ah, no...there's a bunch of stuff that can't be.
09:25:01[Saint]It's not quite as simple as "anything in a menu/context menu"
09:26:01[Saint]I'm not sure if there's actually a list of what can be put in the quickscreen or not, I think it simply boils down to trial and error.
09:26:59the_KyleNot a problem. The playlist view is easy enough for me to find, I just thought I could make it even easier.
09:30:09the_KyleSeems at least to me that there's no need to make the playlist view easier to find. It's in the context menu while a song is playing.

09:38:16[Saint]I'm not sure if it ever will be or not. There's some patches in the tracker along that line IIRC
09:39:48the_KyleI wouldn't consider it to be high priority, it would just be nice to be able to hear the info.
09:42:04[Saint]I believe there's some kind of proof of concept in the tracker, but iirc it was built around the WPS Hotkey...so not much use to you.
09:42:54[Saint]Obviously there needs to be some form of trigger for it, as you probably wouldn't want to be constantly updated about the track state.
09:43:42the_KyleI was hoping to have it spoken whenever I select View Track Info from the context menu on the WPS.
09:44:12rasherthe_Kyle: I'm pretty sure you can get to it through the context menu while in the wps

16:50:30Tornethe default libgcc build will almost certainly fail to link
16:50:38Tornebecause of our lack of C++ support
16:50:45n1sFuze2: that means you need as (among other things)

17:04:00Fuze2I did encounter in the past with samba when tried to build rockbox
17:04:22saratogado you know what wine is
17:04:22Torneanyway. we recommend that you install linux, either natively, or in vmware or virtualpc or some other emulator, and use the linux build instructions.
17:04:35Tornebut if you can't do that, then the cygwin instructoins should work if you actually follow them correctly
17:05:16saratogatechnically i don't think we have working cygwin directions anymore
17:05:20Tornesaratoga: Well, no
17:05:31TorneIgnore step 3 in the instructions; the rockbox mirror no longer has useful packages
17:05:37Lloreansaratoga: But you can get a standard cygwin development environment and follow the linux directions, I would assume.
17:05:39Tornebut the fact that you can't run rockboxdev.sh means you didn't follow step 2 correctly
17:05:42saratogayou also need a bunch of other packages
17:05:59pixelmaTorne: afaik it has except for arm
17:06:00Tornesaratoga: you shouldn't, we fixed gcc to build with an internal copy of libmpfr/libgmp
17:06:14Tornethat fix should apply on cygwin as well
17:06:22Fuze2Torne: ok, and thanks for the advise. But the Wiki seems to not be up to date and doesn't mention arm eabi gcc, and http://download.rockbox.org/cygwin/ don't provide it

17:08:03Fuze2Torne; I did installed all the required packages. Where this rockboxdev.sh should reside?
17:08:06Tornebut we changed rockboxdev so it downloads the source for those and sticks them in the gcc dir, so gcc builds them internally

22:12:42the_KyleIt is definitely possible, and even the pico2wave utility itself could probably be made more extensive so that it could allow changes to the speech parameters.
22:13:48the_KyleOh, and any application that interfaces with the Pico library would also have to figure out how not to segfalt.
22:14:41bertrikIf a task did a wakeup_wait, will it get immediate attention when wakeup_signal is called from another thread, or can other threads get attention first?

22:22:04TheSevenapparently there's still something that we don't know about the nano2g battery charger
22:22:09kugelpreemtive threads plus locks involve (several?) syscalls so should be a lot faster
22:22:15TheSeventhere must be ways to control the charge current and stop charging altogether
22:23:03TheSevendisk mode stops charging, but still draws the power it needs itself from USB after it received an eject command

22:23:46TheSevenalso disk mode charges at ~177mA while rockbox/embios charges at ~110mA

22:46:17the_KyleNot a major problem, but it does seem like anice feature to have in future.
22:47:03*the_Kyle checks the replaygain options. Maybe preamp will work, but I don't think it's connected.
22:47:07n1ssaratoga: do you know if voiced is mised in after dsp?
22:47:18bertrikthere's no reduction at all in the radio screen, so voice is pretty useless there IIRC
22:47:32n1sbertrik: yes that's a known issue
22:47:33saratogaspeex files won't have replaygain info anyway, so i think it won't matter
22:47:48n1ss/mised/mixed/
22:48:33n1sbertrik: probably just because noone implemented it, the volume reduction is done digitally for playback so the radio needs its own way
22:48:57n1sthe voice stuff is unfortunately somewhat unmaintained :/
22:49:10the_KyleIs the volume reduction har-coded?

22:52:09saratogais rockbox USB on the clip+ stable enough to use in windows for development? getting annoyed by the db refresh while debugging
22:53:13bertrikthe_Kyle, I don't know
22:53:58bertrikFor the radio screen, I did once look into the possibility of the various radio chips to lower their output volume. Some can, but other can't.
22:54:34n1sbertrik: couldn't the codecs lower the input volume from the fm?
22:54:40bertrikI think the most feasible solution for volume reduction in the radio screen, is to reduce the volume at the codec
22:55:40the_KyleSounds like we need more coders on voice. Unfortunately, my skill level is basically good enough to do the quick Pico hack I did, and doesn't really go much rurther.
22:56:32the_KyleOtherwise, I'd help.

23:04:59n1sthe_Kyle: afaict the reduction in volume is done by shifting the music samples right by 2
23:05:01kugelgevaerts: my program only works on 2.2+
23:05:38kugelbut I think that's not a problem since ARM is still the only officially supported architecture and we have the asm routines for context switches on arm
23:06:03kugel(or we could shit sigaltstack() ourself)
23:06:36the_Kylen1s: In that case, it sounds rather nontrivial to make volume reduction a configurable option.
23:07:36 Quit Horscht (Quit: Verlassend)
23:08:11n1sprobably, yes, if you want this to br reasonably adjustable you need to change it into a fixed point multiplication and probably add the value to the dsp config stuff but, no shouldn't be too hard
23:08:41bertrikn bits of shift right equals n*6 dB volume reduction IIRC
23:09:20n1sis 6, 12, 18dB fine grained enough then?
23:09:56the_KyleI'd have to hear it to be sure, but that actually seems good.
23:10:26n1sthen it should be even easier to implement
23:11:54the_KyleIt's a 2-bit shift now, right? In that case, 1, 2, 3 configurable would work well in my opinion.

23:21:03saratogaamiconn: i'm going to turn on dircache by default on all >2MB targets since it seems to help the WPS screen noticeably on flash targets, is this going to impact archos any?
23:22:55amiconnNot stock ones, but those using the 8 MB mod

23:23:09amiconnI don't have such a modded archos myself
23:23:42saratogaok if someone mods their player they can probably be bothered to change a default setting
23:23:51*amiconn only uses dircache on 32MB+ hdd targets
23:24:30amiconnImo it's useless on flash based targets, and too much tradeoff on 16MB (and lower mem) hdd targets
23:25:23*TheSeven considers the huge audio buffer even more useless on flash based targets
23:25:36CIA-7New commit by saratoga (r28751): Enable dircache by default on all targets with enough memory to use it. Helps significantly on HD players, and is somewhat faster on most flash ...
23:25:36kugelsaratoga: it also makes track skipping faster in the playlist viewer
23:25:47saratogayes, significantly so
23:26:17*amiconn can't imagine how dircache helps the wps
23:26:29saratogaplaylist.c works differently if its enabled
23:26:34CIA-7New commit by kugel (r28752): Get rid of get_user_file_path and do the path handling in wrappers for open() and friends.
23:26:34saratogasorry playback.c
23:26:37saratogai have no idea why
23:26:49kugelgah
23:26:57amiconnI mean, in what way does it help?
23:27:03kugelI didn't mean to commit that :\
23:27:12saratogaskipping tracks is faster
23:27:36amiconnHmm, that may explain it
23:27:41amiconnI rarely ever skip
23:27:43CIA-7r28751 build result: All green
23:27:44saratogae.g. if you start playing the first track in a folder and then keep hitting next, then its much faster with dircache
23:28:16CIA-7New commit by kugel (r28753): Fix configure and lib path
23:28:20CIA-7New commit by kugel (r28754): Fix extracting libmisc.so
23:28:24CIA-7New commit by kugel (r28755): Upgrade ndk requirement to r5 (it ships a better compiler) and cleanup configure accordingly.
23:28:28amiconnImo it's better not to add tracks you don't want to hear to the playlist (or even the device)...
23:28:33kugel:\
23:29:02saratogai don't think its just skipping, i think all track changes are more responsive FWIW
23:29:30saratogabut skipping quickly through a playlist is the easiest way to notice that
23:30:00kugeltag lookup is vastly faster with dircache and tagcache ramcache both enabled even on flash
23:30:13CIA-7r28752 build result: All green
23:30:43amiconnWell, if you think it helps...
23:31:03*amiconn now needs to disable dirache explicitly on his flash targets

23:32:41kugelthe accesses to flash/disk easily compensate the battery life lost due to smaller audio buffer, on flash it's marginal anyway
23:33:46saratogaalso amiconn, i'm somewhat annoyed that you undid my change that put test_codec on top of the viewers list
23:34:05saratogathat was quite handy for debugging codecs, which involves running test_codec over and over again as quickly as possible
23:34:16amiconnI didn't even notice that it was an intended change
23:34:23kugelsaratoga: autorock.rock?
23:34:25amiconnIt appeared to me as a (rather annoying) mistage
23:34:46saratogacan I autorock a viewer?
23:34:50kugelprobably not
23:35:12kugelbut you could hack the path to the test files into test_codec
23:35:16saratogaideally would be a way to script loading test codec on a file from the command line with no gui at all, but thats beyond my level of free time
23:35:42amiconnA test_* plugin should *never* end up as the default viewer for a file type, hence the test_* plugins have to come last for each extension
23:36:02saratogathey'll never be the default type for audio files though, right?

23:36:55 Quit JdGord (Ping timeout: 250 seconds)
23:36:56amiconnCorrect for built-in types (i.e. audio files) - but not having a general rule makes misleading bugs like the one I fixed more likely

23:39:01saratogaamiconn: do you mind if i put test_codec back on top then?
23:39:13amiconnyes
23:39:58saratogawhy is that?
23:40:02amiconnI mean, why should it go on top? It's a test plugin for development. Do you always develop, or do you just use your dap(s) as well?
23:41:32saratogaputting it on top means a lot less scrolling when i'm debugging
23:41:42saratogaduring normal use the test_codec isn't compiled, so it doesn't matter where it is
23:42:03amiconnDo you switch builds between development and normal use?
23:42:25saratogai'm not sure, i don't see where you're going with the question?
23:42:27 Quit komputes (Quit: I haven't slept for ten days, because that would be too long.)
23:42:42*amiconn never does that, as it would take *a lot* longer than scrolling a little for calling test codec, even a dozen times or more
23:43:25saratogai'm just saying if the test_codec plugin is enabled, its probably the most likely viewer to use
23:43:47 Join JdGord [0] (~jd@122.110.123.172)
23:43:51amiconnAnd I'm saying it's not (and for a non-dev it's irrelevant anyway)
23:45:04saratogawhy would you enable test_codec if you didn't intend to use it?
23:45:13amiconnI'm always building with test plugins enabled for all my targets, but I'm not always using them
23:45:42amiconnBecause reconfiguring + rebuilding + installing takes quite some time (and I'm not talking cygwin)
23:46:06saratogado you actually use the test plugins that frequently?
23:46:15saratogathey're essential for codec work, but probably not most other things
23:46:17amiconnNo, but that's my point
23:46:31amiconnThere are more test plugins than just test_codec
23:46:44saratogawell why not just disable them if it bothers you having test_codec on top
23:46:56kugeldisabling doesn't get them off the dap
23:46:58*amiconn wonders whether saratoga reads
23:47:10amiconn[23:45:39] <amiconn> Because reconfiguring + rebuilding + installing takes quite some time (and I'm not talking cygwin)
23:47:19amiconnI *do* use test plugins, but not always
23:47:38saratogayes but if you seldom need them, then you seldom waste that time
23:47:43amiconnAnd even if I do, it's not always test_codec, but e.g. test_grey
23:48:22saratogaand really, all this to avoid having to scroll through one more menu item is silly
23:48:23amiconnNo, but having the test plugins around means they should come last (per extension), because otherwise they disturb normal operation
23:48:47saratogayes, but i'm talking about test_codec, which does not disturb them
23:49:06amiconnAnd I don't want to make an exception for test_codec because making an exception for one test plugins makes the rule less obvious
23:49:44saratogai don't think having this rule is worthwhile
23:49:58amiconnIt's not about the position in "Open with.." - that I don't care about
23:49:58saratogatheres no need to sort to the viewers file
23:50:18amiconnI have to search for the plugin I want to use anyway, because they are sorted erratically
23:50:31amiconnThere *is* a reason
23:51:12amiconnThe commit I did was the result of chasing a bug - starting in the completely wrong place because a test plugin (for .jpg) ended up as the default viewer
23:51:23saratogayes i saw that
23:51:33amiconnI thought the new image viewer was buggy
23:51:50saratogai'm saying you should have moved the jpeg related viewers since they were actually the problem
23:52:31amiconnWhen I found that the test plugin was the culprit, I saw that a lot of test plugins had been added at the top of viewers.config
23:53:10amiconnI think this was a mistake, caused by one or two test plugins already listed at the top when further ones were added
23:54:07amiconnThat's why I'm thinking test plugins always have to come after the normal plugins for each extension (if there is any)
23:54:18saratogayes i realize that
23:55:43saratogaok I am out of time, I will try to tease out of you why you don't want me to fix the test_codec issue when I have more time
