#rockbox log for 2011-01-02

00:00:01saratogagenerally just because two SD cards are packaged the same doesn't mean they're the same internally
00:00:32tuxifiersorrowly :)
00:01:03tuxifierI already even tried to dd the image of the working card to the unrecognized
00:01:08tuxifierno success
00:02:41saratogaprobably just a bug in our controller driver that only occurs with some cards
00:02:58wah_wah_69Hi everyone! I have just made a post about the vibe 300 in the forum, take a look if you're interested in a new port.
00:05:38saratogai really doubt anyone here is interested
00:05:57wah_wah_69Hi everyone!
00:05:57wah_wah_69I've owned a Packard Bell Vibe 300 for aroud 4 years (It was a christmas gift), the first thing I made when it was given to me was to take a look around here for a port, but there was none :'(
00:06:27wah_wah_69crap, this irc client, I pasted all that without wanting
00:06:47wah_wah_69So who might have info to help me develop a new port?
00:08:22saratogahave you seen this: http://www.rockbox.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/NewPort
00:09:15wah_wah_69I'm reading it right now, its quite light on technical details
00:09:35saratogayeah, you pretty much have to figure those our yourself
00:10:30soapthomasjfox, I appear to have forgotten the root password of my N810!
00:10:36wah_wah_69The thing is, having the same portalplayer chip as some supported players it might be more or less easy
00:10:46thomasjfoxsoap: trustno1?
00:10:52saratogai guess a good first step would be to figure out how to recover from a bad flash
00:11:17saratogathen dig through the firmware file and see if you can figure out which GPIO pins go where
00:11:32gevaertswah_wah_69: it's going to be easier than some ports, yes
00:11:39wah_wah_69I don't know this even is flashable, it has an mi4 file in the sytem directory
00:11:47saratogathen try to blink the lights on or something
00:12:10thomasjfoxsoap: On the n900 it usually works by "sudo gainroot" or "root" in the terminal
00:13:09saratogayes thats the "normal" PP method, the H10 and i think Phillips players use that
00:13:37soapoh, thomasjfox, I set a root password years ago. But my "default" root password isn't working.
00:13:56saratogacomparing to this page for the H10 might be interesting: http://www.rockbox.org/wiki/IriverH10PortDevInfo
00:13:59thomasjfoxsoap: Can you open a normal user terminal?
00:14:00gevaertsAlso the mr100, the samsungs, and I think the vibe500
00:14:15soapthomasjfox, yes
00:14:33thomasjfoxTry if you have the "root" or "sudo gainroot" stuff installed. Then you don't need the password
00:14:37gevaertsWell, some of them use a different filename, but that's not very important
00:15:20wah_wah_69thanks saratoga! I should have found thank link myself.
00:15:29soapthomasjfox, "Enable RD mode to gain root privileges"
00:15:49Torneinstall the rootsh package from maemo.org
00:15:53Tornethen sudo gainroot
00:16:14Torneyou can't become root without installing something or turning on R&D mode with flasher, but that has other sideeffects
00:16:47saratogawah_wah_69: also this page: http://www.rockbox.org/wiki/SamsungYH92xPort
00:18:19saratogadoes it also have a .ROM file in the system folder? if so that may contain the recovery code if you flash a bad .mi4 file
00:18:24soapTorne, yea that's what google is telling me. I would have sworn I went through all this ages ago.

00:20:13wah_wah_69saratoga, yes it has a file called pp5020.mi4 in the system directory
00:20:38thomasjfoxgevaerts: I found something out about the pulseaudio CPU usage
00:20:48Tim_ElliottI wish someone would make a port for the Insignia Pilot
00:21:03thomasjfoxThe protection for the speakers just kicks in at a certain global volume level
00:21:13gevaertsTim_Elliott: New Year's wishes should be made in December
00:21:19thomasjfoxSo CPU is about 7% lower if I keep the volume below that

00:21:43 Quit bertrik (Quit: CGI:IRC)

00:23:44***Saving seen data "./dancer.seen"
00:23:47AlexPthomasjfox: can you detect speakers vs headphones, and then set a limit in rockbox a fraction below that when on speakers?
00:24:03AlexPAs it'd make no difference to the max, but save a load of power by the sounds of it
00:24:13thomasjfoxAlexp: Should be possible
00:24:26soapthomasjfox, big issue is that rockbox doesn't show up as a running application,
00:24:47gevaertsthomasjfox: do we want to touch the global volume at all?
00:25:02thomasjfoxgevaerts: Maybe just once?
00:25:18thomasjfoxsoap: But you are able to run it?
00:25:23 Quit tuxifier (Remote host closed the connection)
00:25:23gevaertsI know I'd be annoyed if apps all think they should set the volume for me
00:25:24wah_wah_69saratoga, it has some other files but none are called *.rom, there's a sysinfo.ini file which contains some info, is seems to have been generated by the firmware updater, this line is the one that references the bootloader: Bootloader=BL_pp6005_5020_color.rom
00:25:53thomasjfoxgevaerts: We could make it a platform based option
00:26:14soapthomasjfox, I have no music on my N810, but elsewise it runs fine. I'll load some music when I find a micro cable
00:26:35gevaertsthomasjfox: the way I see it, rockbox is an *application* on maemo. It shouldn't try to take over the system in any way
00:26:41thomasjfoxsoap: hehe, you really haven't used it in a long time
00:27:06thomasjfoxgevaerts: Hmm. On the other hand is saves quite some CPU
00:27:12soapI use it every day, but it is an appliance to me.
00:27:18gevaertsYes, but it's not CPU *we* are wasting
00:27:45soapeverything I need is installed (fbreader, claws mail, ssh) and that's all I do.
00:28:19thomasjfoxgevaerts: What if we make this a platform option and only set the volume if 1. it's on speakers and 2. it's above the limit (=don't touch lower volumes)
00:28:24 Quit BlakeJohnson86 (Quit: Leaving.)
00:28:55gevaertsthomasjfox: well, to put it simply, if I installed an audio player that did that, I'd report it as a bug
00:29:08thomasjfoxgevaerts: It should be configurable of course
00:30:15thomasjfoxI don't like the idea much either - but it's a cheap way to save CPU :)

03:30:53jduleyok I wouldn't have a clue where to start with a patch so it won't be me. Do you think it happens on all AMSv2 devices as that other guy had it on his Fuze v2?
03:31:13soapThomasjfox, I promise to be less apathetic towards Rockbox on the N810 tomorrow if you highlight me.
03:32:56[7]hm, the target id in the plugins seems to be correct
03:33:03[7]where's the target id that the loader checks?
03:36:13saratogayou should probably ask kugel or someone in the morning
03:36:19saratogaplugins aren't the most important thing anyway
03:36:34[7]but codecs are :)
03:36:43saratogahmm yes good point

03:38:10saratoga[7]: codecs.c
03:38:12saratogaaround line 200
03:38:49[7]i spotted it in the plugin code in the meantime, and both values are 0x47, so it must be something else
03:39:01saratogaoh you said model, not version
03:39:04saratogaheh i have no idea
03:39:10saratogai'm actually a little surprised we check for that
03:41:03saratoga[7]: it compares TARGET_ID as defined in teh codec to TARGET_ID as defined in the main binary
03:41:47[7]it's probably the load address that's making it fail
03:41:58saratogayeah i don't see anyway they could be different

04:16:44saratogayes
04:16:48saratogabut anyway
04:17:10saratogahow limited is HWCODEC? i thought it just used a DSP but was otherwise pretty similar in terms of buffering and playback, but it looks like that is not the case
04:17:25saratogadoes it make sense to support resume on it?
04:18:25JdGordon|I assume so
04:19:11saratogaanyone got a HWCODEC player handy to test something?
04:19:21JdGordon|Massive assumption, but I dont tihnk the hwcodecs would sell very well if they couldnt resume mid track :p

04:21:58eRivascan I use playlist name - %pn - as a condition for an if?

04:22:09saratogaone of you be online
04:22:14JdGordon|eRivas: yes
04:22:19eRivasok
04:22:30JdGordon|saratoga: #ifdef if out.. doesnt it require the db anyway which isnt on the lowmem targets?
04:22:34JdGordon|or am i confusing things?
04:23:04saratogathe player has the database
04:23:42JdGordon|eRivas: what sort of check do you want to do with it? I *think* %?pn is true when you play from a m3u (and maybe directory) and false when its a dynamic playlist
04:23:48***Saving seen data "./dancer.seen"
04:24:24eRivasJdGordon|: %?pn<%pn>
04:24:33JdGordon|yeah that would prob work
04:24:39eRivasthanks
04:26:38JdGordon|saratoga: two options, 1) #ifdef it out and leave it untill someone can test, 2) make it compile and wait for complaints/verification that it works
04:26:51eRivasJdGordon|: how do I use the %Re tag, just insert it or specify alternatives?
04:27:00saratogaif i understand mpeg.c correctly, its not going to work as currently implemented
04:27:05JdGordon|the danger with 2) is what happened to me, 6+months before finding out it is broken
04:28:33saratogawhat the hell does hwcodec actually include then
04:28:44JdGordon|eRivas: like all tags, it depends what you want... %Re will show some text, %?Re<option|option|option> gives you more control
04:28:45saratogai just realized i don't know if i've ever looked at a rockbox source file it uses before now
04:29:23eRivasJdGordon|: it's just that I insterted it alone and will only show aiff, other encoders will not be shown
04:29:35eRivasJdGordon|: so I guess I must specify my text

11:06:47pixelmait's just that if it needs the database in RAM then it's not worth looking into integrating it into hwcodec since those targets are lowmem so don't have the option to load the database into RAM (just that part isn't available there), that's al

11:29:01[Saint]As was I, I thought it was still very much "up in the air".
11:29:38Lloreanamiconn: The problem is the current bookmarking feature doesn't work with the database.
11:30:06LloreanTo me, the reasonable solution would've been to fix bookmarking to work with the database, and then add a "if a bookmark is present when file is played, automatically resume the most recent bookmark" option.
11:31:16[Saint]the impression I got was "yeah, but...that's too hard, and I already did this".
11:31:36pixelmaI don't complain too loud becaus I didn't take part of the discussion on the ml but I felt that all I wanted to say has been said (I mostly agree/d with Llorean) and the thread had already become so long :\
11:31:47pixelma*part in
11:32:37Llorean[Saint]: I don't like the idea that a less ideal solution should be used because a good one hasn't completed yet - they're hard to remove later, and it just leads to a pile of half-features interacting in weird ways.

11:33:18pixelmaI think the same way

11:38:11saratoga_imo the really buggy stuff is in playback.c, and this doesn't seriously impact that one way
11:38:39saratoga_since the changes are pretty trivial and don't impact how playback.c works unless you enable automatic resume
11:39:08pixelmabut the point of "implemented half-baked feature" still stands, IMO
11:39:08saratoga_otherwise you just 'else' into the old case
11:39:17saratoga_i don't think so
11:39:24saratoga_its not obvious to me how you could implement this better
11:44:12LloreanFix bookmarking instead of adding a new feature? It serves basically the same purpose.
11:47:06saratoga_from my point of view bookmarking is essentially an even worse implementation of a less useful feature
11:47:36saratoga_while having a manual way to set resume points could be useful, its a pretty silly way to do things when you can quite easily do it automatically
11:48:08saratoga_in the long term i just assumed we'd get rid of book marking and allow a way to manually set resume points in the database if people thought it was useful enough
11:48:33pixelmawhy is it less useful? And from a user's point of view, I prefer the bookmarking implementation since it doesn't need the database
11:48:53LloreanYou'd be losing a lot of functionality if you took away having multiple bookmarks in a single file.
11:49:05pixelmaI don't know what you mean with automatic and manual there
11:50:10[Saint]is there not already automatic bookmarking?
11:50:16saratoga_you prefer it because it doesn't do things the correct way?
11:50:18[Saint]didn't Torne work on that?
11:50:33Llorean[Saint]: Yes. But there's not automatic resume of bookmarks (unless I missed that being added) and bookmarks don't work with the database.
11:50:39saratoga_from a users point of view how is that a preference?
11:51:07pixelmasaratoga_: what is the "correct" way? Not relying on another feature I need to explicitely enable if I don't use it?
11:51:32saratoga_the database is the correct way to store metadata about tracks
11:52:00saratoga_its literally what a database does
11:52:35pixelmaresume points aren't metadata in my eyes, it's a playback/playlist thing
11:53:13saratoga_playback data about a specific file thats unrelated to the current state of the playback engine is metadata
11:54:16LloreanPlayback state isn't really metadata in my eyes either.
11:55:09LloreanAlso the database is for storing it for search purposes. It's not like we're going to say "we're removing ID3 tags, files should store all their info in the database" or "we're removing support for external album art, it needs to be scanned and entered into the database"
11:55:17LloreanThe only functionality that should require the database is searching/using the database.
11:55:28saratoga_no
11:55:35saratoga_thats stupid
11:55:51saratoga_anything that involves storing data persistantly should use the database
11:55:59LloreanWhy?
11:56:04saratoga_because thats what its for
11:56:11LloreanNot really.
11:56:27LloreanIt was originally "tagcache" and I think the name gives a pretty clear reason for its being in existence.

11:56:49saratoga_so what?
11:57:11LloreanSo, my reason's just as good as yours. You've decided its intent is "all persistent data" but that wasn't, at least, its original intent.
11:57:24LloreanAnd I don't think there's been a discussion that its intent has changed, has there?
11:57:37pixelmawhy is a resume point persistent? And I also think about bookmarking as related to the playlist and not to a certain file that happens to be affected
11:57:44saratoga_first of all, the database already stores more then just tags
11:58:16Lloreansaratoga_: What, file ratings?
11:58:27saratoga_run time stats as well
11:58:30AlexPI would fight tooth and nail against removing bookmarking and forcing the database
11:58:42LloreanRatings are something that traditionally goes into tags, only we don't support writing to tags.
11:58:48AlexPI don't object to this feature, but do not force the database on us
11:59:05LloreanRun time stats are necessary for database searches since that's something you can query it for.
11:59:17saratoga_like, say resume information?
11:59:46LloreanYou can query for resume information? What, are you going to search for "files I've got resume points in at longer than 4 minutes in"?
11:59:54AlexPbookmarks can e.g. be easily copied between players
12:00
12:00:00saratoga_"i've got a file, does it have a resume point?"
12:00:19Llorean"I've got a file, does it have album art"
12:00:26LloreanClearly album art needs to be using the database only too, now
12:00:44saratoga_no because we have to buffer album art
12:01:26saratoga_look i'm not doubting that you can duplicate everything that a sane data storage system does with a mess of files on the hard disk, i'm just saying doing that for no reason is ridiculous
12:01:49LloreanResume points without database isn't "no reason"
12:01:55AlexPno reason?
12:02:02saratoga_there are obviously a few targets where memory is so tight we can't do things sensibly, but they're fewer and fewer every day
12:02:08LloreanResume point are something people have been using, as bookmarks, without the database for *years* in Rockbox.
12:02:18LloreanThere's no reason to add it to the database other than a desire to force users to lose existing functionality
12:02:24saratoga_"without the database" is not a reason
12:02:31saratoga_literally
12:02:43saratoga_it doesn't explain anything
12:02:44LloreanWhat's the reason *for* adding it other than "I think it belongs there"?
12:02:55AlexPI don't really see the point in this discussion, it looks like it is going to get committed anyway
12:03:02saratoga_its already committed
12:03:06AlexPexactly

12:03:36saratoga_i'm not removing bookmarks because i don't care
12:03:50saratoga_i'm just pointing how ridiculous people are about the database
12:03:58AlexPIn your opinion
12:03:59saratoga_avoiding it is an end in and of itself
12:04:10saratoga_not one person has so far mentioned why they don't want to use it
12:04:16Lloreansaratoga_: Bookmarking a single file shouldn't depend on having enough disk space for the whole database.
12:04:18saratoga_isn't that a little funny to you guys?
12:04:22AlexPLoss of lots of RAM
12:04:23LloreanA bookmark is tiny, the database isn't necessarily
12:04:31saratoga_how much RAM?
12:04:36AlexP2 MB
12:04:40LloreanIf there were a way to store it in the database without initializing it with tag data, sure, that's different.
12:04:46saratoga_2MB for how many tracks?
12:04:52AlexPLoads of small ones
12:05:12saratoga_how many?
12:05:43Lloreansaratoga_: forcing people to use the database because you think it's sane seems to be another end in and of its self.
12:05:45AlexPI can't remember exactly, my player isn't to hand. 15k ish IIRC although that is a guess
12:05:50LloreanWhy make them use it for a feature that doesn't *require* it?
12:06:00LloreanDatabase searches require it, obviously, by their nature. Bookmarks don't.
12:06:18saratoga_forcing people to use rockbox features that are implemented well is a goal of mine yes
12:06:26AlexPI can move bookmarks between players
12:06:29saratoga_you're complaining that i want to improve things
12:06:32AlexPHow to do that with the db
12:06:32saratoga_well played
12:06:37Lloreansaratoga_: That's not an improvement.
12:06:47saratoga_your technical opinion?
12:06:49Llorean"We'd like to force you to use an unnecessary amount of disk space for information that's a few bytes. "
12:07:07LloreanWhy should a user be force to cache all of their files' metadata just to store a resume point?
12:07:22LloreanThat's inefficiency at its fines.
12:07:24Lloreant
12:07:24saratoga_i'm not saying they should
12:07:26AlexPanyway, as I say I don't object to this particular feature too much, it is bookmarking I care about
12:07:34Lloreansaratoga_: You said they should be forced to use the database for resume points.
12:07:37saratoga_yes
12:07:38LloreanThat's what the database *is*
12:07:43saratoga_it doesn't have to be
12:07:58LloreanWell you didn't say you were talking about a hypothetical future database that follows rules known only to you.
12:08:06AlexPBeing able to have only those files with resume points added to the database would be very nice
12:08:08LloreanWe all assumed you were talking about the real database that exists right now.
12:08:21AlexPadd them one by one as resume points get added
12:08:23LloreanAs I said, I wouldn't object if the database could be restricted to only holding the resume data.
12:08:29saratoga_obviously i'm not since the database i'm talking about includes bookmarks . . .
12:08:44Lloreansaratoga_: Sorry, "the database we have plus the feature you explicitly mentioned adding to it"
12:08:58LloreanWe can't read your mind, so we obviously can't know about features you *haven't* spoken of.
12:09:08saratoga_well if we're talking about how we want things to be i don't see why we should assume limitations we have now
12:09:21saratoga_you could ask me
12:09:28AlexP!
12:09:48LloreanThat makes no sense. I shouldn't have to ask you about every possible permutation. If you're discussing one possibility you should describe it, not assume people can read your mind and know what you intend.
12:10:09saratoga_err, what?
12:10:10LloreanIf you say "I think the database should be the only place to keep resume points" it's pretty reasonable that someone will think you mean the *current* database, not some other one you've got in your head.
12:10:33 Join DerPapst [0] (~Alexander@91-66-226-46-dynip.superkabel.de)
12:10:39saratoga_no thats not reasonable since i'm talking about improving the database!
12:10:46LloreanEspecially when someone has already mentioned they'd be okay with it if it didn't have to include all the metadata, and you ignore that for five minutes without saying "yes, like that"
12:11:51saratoga_honestly no one even mentioned memory use until the very end of this argument, so i don't know why i should assume thats what you're concerned about
12:12:01Lloreansaratoga_: It's perfectly reasonable to think, when someone refers to the database, that they're referring to it as it exists, plus anything they've explicitly mentioned, because someone with the intent of having a constructive conversation would mention other changes they have. ESPECIALLY when they might mitigate some of the objections people brought up.
12:12:06 Join factor [0] (~factor@75.108.68.114)
12:12:58Lloreansaratoga_: (5:04:39 AM) Llorean: If there were a way to store it in the database without initializing it with tag data, sure, that's different. <−− Seems that even without the mention of "memory" this should've at least prompted a "they might be interested in this idea"
12:13:11saratoga_i think its perfectly reason for people who have a problem with a specific aspect of something (e.g. having a database in memory) to actually mention that instead of complaining about nothing in particular
12:13:32Lloreansaratoga_: You can't discuss a feature without being at the same place about it, so are there any other changes you're holding in your mind that might affect this image of the database you have?
12:14:20saratoga_yeah but i haven't hashed them out yet
12:14:54saratoga_i was thinking of a system where you either just index all the files but don't cache the tags, or better yet don't index anything until its actually played
12:15:13saratoga_so it behaves sort of like a cache on low memory targets
12:15:16LloreanHow about never index anything, if the user doesn't want to have it indexed?
12:15:43LloreanAs I said, I wouldn't mind if all my bookmarks or runtime stats were stored, but I don't want to waste disk space creating a searchable database I'll never use.

12:31:14*TheSeven wonders if the iPod Classic port should go into SVN or FlySpray
12:31:34TheSeventhe problem is that it might break other targets that I don't have and thus can't test on

12:31:41TheSeven(due to the ATA changes)
12:31:44Buschelstill need verification for some patches on the iPod color. do you have access to it?
12:31:45[Saint]which ones?
12:32:08[Saint]Bushmills: Ah, yes. Which patches.
12:32:09BuschelTheSeven: if it possibly brakes other targets I would not submit to svn
12:32:48TheSevenBuschel: on the other hand, nobody seems to be willing to test that part right now
12:32:57TheSevenso this thing might be stuck in flyspray forever
12:33:31TheSevenif it breaks, it breaks completely (no disk access possible at all), so it will be apparent
12:33:36AlexPTheSeven: Send a mail to the dev list saying here it is on fs, please test as it might break x, y, z - if nobody tests it'll go in in a week
12:33:36TheSevenand probably trivial to fix
12:34:18AlexPI'm happy to test later on today
12:34:32*TheSeven needs to figure out which targets might be affected
12:34:54Buschel[Saint]: FS #11843 v16, and FS #11820 (will provide a test patch later)
12:34:54TheSevenbasically everything that's doing ATA byte swapping, and we should also test the bigendian targets
12:36:03BuschelTheSeven: why not submit the Classic port except this breaking change in one step and the ATA stuff in a second submit to be able to roll it back easily?
12:36:26TheSevenbecause the classic port can't work without the changes
12:36:31Buschel[Saint]: also, can you check which lcd_type your color has? this is available in the debug menu
12:37:15TheSevenand i don't think it will need a rollback. if anything, it will need a few more #ifdefs swapping bytes
12:37:28[Saint]Buschel: The OFs or RBs?
12:37:33BuschelRB's
12:37:33[Saint](debug menu)
12:38:17[Saint]LCD type: 1
12:38:31[Saint](for both, incedentally)
12:38:55Buschelhmm, interesting. both reach ~52 fps RGB full screen, right?
12:39:16[Saint]it was something like that.
12:39:33Buschelthe nano 1G also uses lcd_type 1
12:40:15[Saint]quite a difference in screen size though ;)
12:40:59Buschel[Saint]: yes, but the throughput in MB/s is still 2.5x faster nano1g vs. color
12:41:19Buschel[Saint]: short test regarding FS #11820 -> http://pastie.org/1423126
12:43:33Buschelamiconn: do you still have access to the iPod photo which you used to measure LCD speed (see LcdFrateRate wiki)
12:44:34Buschel[Saint]: if FS #11843 v16 works for you, I am interested in RGB/YUV speed boosted/unboosted. I would like to submit if it works fine
12:45:21[Saint]Ok, I'm patching now. Then building, <slight delay>, testing. :)
12:45:46Buschelso, you are able to build again :)
12:46:14[Saint]Yes, I figured out my CygWin gremlin.
12:51:15[Saint]rockboxdev.sh was trying to delete the build dir while it was still in it...the code for it was fine, I added a pause and prompt for manual resume and it worked fine.

13:04:07amiconnsaratoga: One main point about the database in rockbox is that it's optional. Atm I don't need bookmarks or automatic resume points, because I neither listen to audio books nor podcasts
13:05:36amiconnBut if I ever start doing that, I much prefer a way that doesn't require me to use the database, which I don't use regularly either
13:06:55amiconnI have it enabled for pictureflow to work, but that's only for occasional, show-off. In >99.9% of all cases I start playback from the file browser
13:08:02*[Saint] only has the DB enables so he can occasionally show someone pictureflow/wps integration.
13:08:23[Saint]*enabled
13:08:39*amiconn never even tried pf/ wps integration
13:09:29[Saint]kinda cool. But just for "eye candy".
13:09:52amiconnRockbox has a lot of feature I have no use for...
13:10:20amiconnAt least most of them aren't duplicating functionality.. this latest one does though :(
13:10:52[Saint]<y general theory is "as long as I can turn it off, then sweet"...this is a bit of a grey area.
13:11:34[Saint]It's only by the coincidence I use the DB for pictureflow that it doesn't really affect me. I understand there are many that don't use the DB.

14:21:07amiconnI do have a remote
14:21:40amiconnThe H100 and the M3 have some drivers which the later coldfire targets don't have
14:21:58n1sand, yes i forgot to remove that make -j4 change as well as the commented out code since i wasn't sure if we wanted to keep support for the old toolchain in the script so that patch isn't quite finished
14:22:32amiconnThese targets do not have the PCF5060x, but separate ADCs instead. Especially the M3 one is rather picky about timings (and slow...)

14:25:28pixelmaCould it be that mp3 decoding got a bit faster or somesuch? I have the impression that mpegplayer works better (my videos I wanted to encode again because of choppy playback due to a bit higher bitrate look better and I wondered why)
14:30:59n1smp3 decoding got about 3% faster but i don't think that would be noticable in mpegplayer

14:34:39amiconnyes
14:35:10amiconnThe disabled multilib fails to build on various systems. Those need the patch
14:36:09n1sdo you know if it is needed for the new toolchain? (i guess your build will fail if that's the case)
14:37:05amiconnHow should I know? There's just one way to find out...
14:37:50n1syeah
14:38:20pixelmaguess we also need some testers for the toolchain on Mac too, IIRC they also show weird behaviour sometimes

14:45:22[Saint]I can't seem to build voice files on CygWin
14:46:08amiconnn1s: Maybe it would be a good idea anyway to disable all multilibs we don't use. It would speed up tollchain building, and the resulting toolchain would need less disk space.
14:46:48n1syes, that is true
14:47:22amiconnIt would mean additional work if we add a target that needs them though
14:47:25[Saint]http://pastebin.com/8bkEEdPS is what bash has to say about the whole voice building fiasco, fwiw.
14:47:57amiconnSame applies to the SH multilibs btw - we only use sh1
14:48:40n1samiconn: the −−with-arch=cf config option makes it build only the coldfire multilibs, not the other m68k ones so maybe that's good enough?
14:49:03amiconnaha

16:36:18TheSevencaches should be enabled
16:36:34TheSevenfrom the skipping behavior i'd say 80% realtime
16:37:02n1sthat sounds too slow for that core/freq even with caches disabled
16:37:41TheSevenwith caches disabled the UI was lagging
16:38:26TheSevenwhat's the best way to figure out the real clock?
16:38:49TheSevenlet it iterate a thousand times through a loop of a thousand nops and measure the time?
16:39:39n1si can't think of another way of doing it without knowing how it's configured
16:40:30TheSeventhe rest of the UI is responding quite fast, and games like chopper run fluently
16:44:07TheSevenn1s: 10.000 iterations of 1.000 nops took 52.319µs
16:44:45TheSevenso if there would be zero overhead, that would be ~191MHz
16:45:10TheSevenit must be something different...
16:45:32n1sif caches are disabled and memory is slow enough to cause mp3 to not be realtime i'd guess the overhead would be significant

16:55:43kugeloh
16:56:14TheSevenwell, this is assuming that the usec timer counts usecs of course :)
16:56:31kugelyou don't use . as thousands seperator in english :)
16:58:01TheSevenwell, but then it would have been 10 instructions in 52µs
16:58:36kugeltrue

17:01:23TheSevendoes rockbox do cpu time accounting for the individual threads?
17:01:44TheSevenmaybe there's just some CPU hog?
17:03:18*TheSeven compiles a build with test plugins
17:03:50n1sthe Os stacks (IIRC) debug screen shows someinfo about the threads but not the cpu time i think
17:04:35TheSevengevaerts: any idea why rockbox usb exposes 512 byte sectors on a drive with 4096 bytes per physical sector, formatted as a superfloppy fat32 file system with 4096 bytes per sector?
17:05:07TheSeventhe file system works fine in rockbox, so that ipod video hack layer must be functioning
17:19:09TheSevenn1s: flac plays fine
17:19:27TheSevenbut the playback progress bar is jumping like crazy
17:19:48TheSevenprobably due to a problem with pcm_get_bytes_waiting
17:19:48n1sweird
17:29:36pamauryTheSeven: does usb msc supports something else than 512 bytes per sectors ?
17:29:51pamauryI don't remember but I'm not sure
17:30:18TheSeventhe whole flac file (27MB) would fit easily into RAM, and there's also 27MB allocated in the buffering debug screen
17:30:26TheSeventhe pcm buffer is always around half full
17:30:47TheSevenpamaury: certainly
17:31:45TheSevenreal is always in the 50000-70000 range, usefl is 20000-40000
17:31:56TheSevenso we're indeed facing a problem on the disk side of things?
17:32:12TheSeventhe ATA driver is still PIO only for now

17:33:56TheSevenif disk accesses are eating lots of CPU, the MP3 codec might push the bandwidth further down

18:05:24TheSevenand MP3 is worse than before, even though it manages to buffer a bit more data now (this time the codec seems to be starving, not the disk)

19:33:55TheSeven- some kind of fight between threads
19:34:02TheSeven- some buffering/playback issue
19:34:05TheSeven- the pcm driver
19:34:17TheSevenany other ideas what could be the culprit that doesn't influence test_codec?
19:34:58linuxstbpixelma: My guess is that the mp3 frames are cut, meaning the audio stream doesn't start on a frame boundary. That may or may not be legal, but I would expect vlc to be a lot more tolerant of such things than mpegplayer.
19:35:04TheSevenis PCM-WAV significantly faster than FLAC?
19:35:09TheSevenif yes I might try that
19:35:32n1sTheSeven: it should be
19:36:03n1sstraight 16 bit 44.1kHz pcm needs basically no processing at all
19:36:25TheSeven*if* it does no processing at all
19:36:36pixelmalinuxstb: sounds likely. I wonder if mpegplayer should also tolerate this or not. Of course you can't take care of every corner case, I just pity that it looks like I'll have to transcode the audio
19:37:07pixelmamaybe there are better transcoders though which can handle this correctly

19:45:42Buschelthe screen update?
19:45:48TheSevenmaybe
19:46:01TheSevenand if buffering hasn't completed, it just reads one little chunk from the disk once a second, judging from the disk's noise
19:46:05Buschelhow much fps do you get via test_fps?
19:46:06n1sTheSeven: does the lcd update disable interrupts for too long or something
19:46:13TheSevenit shouldn't
19:46:57Buschelwhat happens if you play a file while being in the main menu?

19:47:42TheSevenrgb is 25 full / 100 quarter
19:49:02amiconn25fps is awfully slow
19:49:33Buschelafaik wps did 5 fps (full screen). so, this would equal 20% of the cpu time during playback. if the 5-fps-full-screen assumption is still valid
19:49:36TheSeventhis is still non-optimized C code, and the LCD is rather big (320x240x16bits)
19:50:26 Quit kugel (Remote host closed the connection)
19:50:56TheSevenjudging from the stuttering and lcd contents it's just doing a single frame per second (cabbiev2)
19:51:25TheSevenand the stuttering doesn't change if i go to the main menu
19:52:14Buschelthen the screen update are not the problem. main menu is not drawn cyclic
19:54:53n1shmm, the gmp/mpfr kluge in rockboxdev.sh needs to be updated for 4.5 as it needs mpc too

20:06:00TheSevenhm, our bigendian targets are all the archos, iriver, iaudio, mpio and meizu players, and additionally the yp-s3?
20:06:05TheSevenwhich of those have ata?
20:06:20TheSevenata_swap_words targets seem to be only archos and mpio
20:07:36TheSevenn1s: does that mean that that your iriver is one of those identify-swap-needed targets (bigendian but not ata_swap_words)
20:09:36n1si think so, yes
20:10:09TheSeventhat's a bit confusing...
20:11:56TheSevenso on iriver, the read is already swapping, and that's sufficient
20:13:08TheSevenon mpio the read normally isn't swapped, but ata_swap_words is defined
20:13:23TheSevenso the identify info won't be swapped at all
20:13:35TheSevenso removing the additional swap would handle that as well
20:14:16TheSeventhe same holds true for archos
20:14:35TheSevenmeizu doesn't have ata-based players afaik, and the yp-s3 is flash-based as well
20:15:04TheSeveniaudio seems to work like iriver
20:16:20TheSevennone of the littleendian targets have ata_swap_words, so they never swap anything
20:16:34TheSevensounds like that swap16 should be removed, as the ipod classic is the only one needing it

21:22:10ThopterI'm new to Rockbox, having installed it via the Rockbox Utility on my Clip+ 8GB earlier today. I found a language quiz patch that I would like to install, but I'm not sure how to go about doing that. All the info I've read about adding patches talks about using diff files, but this patch is provided as a .c file. Can someone point me to some instructions somewhere that could get me through?
21:28:54BuschelThopter: can you compile rockbox?
21:29:31ThopterBuschel: with a decent set of instructions to get me started, sure
21:30:14BuschelThopter: then you should first walk through this http://www.rockbox.org/wiki/HowToCompile
21:32:54ThopterBuschel: Ok, that looks straightforward enough. What do I do with this .c patch file?
21:33:24Buschelis this a patch or a new plugin?

21:38:46Buschel[Saint]: no prob, I hope your feeling ok now :)
21:38:56Buschelyou're
21:39:06ThopterBuschel: ah, I see. The fellow's instructions aren't very clear to me though.
21:40:14BuschelThopter: what is not clear?
21:41:08Thoptergiven that reaction, something that should be clear. guess I'll go read some more
21:42:40BuschelThopter: you should set up and development environment and downlad the source. then compile without any patch and see whether this is working. if so, you may apply the patch (as described in flyspray) and rebuild.
21:43:25Thopter... yeah, I need to read up some more on this. Thanks for the assistance
21:43:27OghamCan anyone throw any light on bug FS #11812 ? Does this have the potential to damage low impedance IEM's?
21:43:48BuschelThopter: you're welcome
21:44:44TheSevenOgham: i doubt that it will destroy them thermally
21:44:55Thopterany chance this plugin (2896) might make it into the program someday?
21:45:14TheSevenloud noise should be worse for them
21:45:21*TheSeven killed a pair that way recently
21:46:20[Saint]it could, potentially tear the speaker cone if the sample it paused on was incredibly loud, and the volume was very high.
21:46:51BuschelThopter: I don't think so. It is in flyspray since ages without being included to official builds.
21:46:52*TheSeven doubts it will tear it more than playing back that sample without pausing
21:47:33TheSevenbtw. i'm sure other targets have the same problem
21:47:34Thopterso I'll have to do this for every update. Oh well, first time is always the hardest
21:47:57[Saint]Thopter: I'd be quite surprised if it applies cleanly.
21:48:01[Saint]Or, at all.
21:48:13Thopterbecause it's old?
21:48:14[Saint]it is ~4 years old.
21:48:25OghamOwch, apparently the clip+ has been measured putting out 240mV whilst paused, do you think that would be enough to damage 16 Ohm Impedance IEM's?
21:48:56Buschel[Saint], Thopter: one step after the other. imho the patch itself is quite simple. so, it should be easily adaptable to the current code
21:49:33[Saint]Oh yes, it's certainly able to be applied.
21:49:37 Join Llorean [0] (~DarkkOne@rockbox/user/Llorean)
21:49:55[Saint]It just depends on the level of effort one is prepared to go to to get it to do so.
21:50:03[Saint]And the knowledge of the person doing so.
21:50:11TheSevenOgham: that would be ~4 milliwatts of power
21:51:48n1sThopter, [Saint]: a plugin that old will not build due to the plugin header changes
21:52:17n1seasily fixed though, just delete the old header macro in the plugin .c file
21:53:09OghamTheSeven: I'm not too hot on my basic physics! But that doesn't seem like much power.. do you think it would cause issues if it was constant for a long duration?
21:53:45[Saint]check the specs of your IEMs
21:53:52TheSeveni think the only impact a long duration can have is heat. and 4 milliwatts of heat shouldn't be an issue.
21:54:51TheSevenit might be possible that that voltage is sufficient to bend the membrane excessively, but it won't make a difference if that's applied for a second or an hour in that case
21:58:29 Quit feisar- (Ping timeout: 240 seconds)
21:59:36OghamTheSeven: Ah, ok.. and if 240mV applied during playback does not cause an issue, then I am I correct in assuming that it shouldn't cause an issue if applied constantly whilst the device is paused?
21:59:57TheSeveni didn't say that
22:00
22:00:27soapBuschel, what do you want tested? [Saint] you testing too?
22:00:28TheSevenif alternating voltages follow each other in rapid succession, the membrane won't be bent as far as when a constant voltage is applied
22:00:54[Saint]soap: Yessir, building now.
22:01:13TheSevenso 1/50th second vs. 1 second makes a difference, while 1 second vs. 1 hour probably won't
22:01:29TheSevenpersonally i'd expect them to survive that though
22:01:42OghamAh, that makes sense..
22:02:18OghamIf they were to be damaged in the manner what is the likely outcome? An instantly recognisable difference in sound quality, or a slow degredation?
22:02:21Buschel[Saint], soap: if the latest patch works for you both I will submit. afterwards I have some further changes to verify ;)
22:03:20*[Saint] isn't sure if this discussion is still on topic or not.
22:05:06soapdefine "latest". That's really the question I was getting at. Are you going to commit the last one I tested, and want to verify the changes in the most recent FS patch, or is the most recent FS patch the one you want to commit and thus needs my testing?
22:05:33gevaertsTheSeven: I'm assuming you use SECTOR_SIZE=512?
22:05:40TheSevenyes
22:05:45gevaertsAnd you have MAX_LOG_SECTOR_SIZE defined to something
22:06:24Buschelsoap: v17 (=latest) needs to be tested by Saint. as this (hopefully) fixes some issues he had on his iPod color
22:06:24TheSeven#define MAX_LOG_SECTOR_SIZE 4096
22:06:24TheSeven#define MAX_PHYS_SECTOR_SIZE 4096
22:06:35gevaertsok
22:07:25Buschelsoap: afterwards I will make further changes I would like to have tested by you both
22:07:52gevaertsThe problem is that usb_storage use disk_sector_multiplier, which is detected by disk.c based on which "actual" sector sizes it manages to mount partitions with
22:08:15gevaertsFor superfloppy mode it never sets it
22:08:30TheSevenaha, sounds like that should be fixed :)
22:08:49soapso, not to beat a dead horse Buschel, to be perfectly clear v17 does not need testing by soap.
22:08:57gevaertsPresumably disk_mount() could set disk_sector_multiplier for superfloppy mode based on the fat bpb_bytspersec field
22:09:11OghamYup sorry to be off-topic! I'll shut-up now, I'm just really worried about damaging my hardware due to this bug!
22:09:11 Quit Thopter (Quit: Sayonara)
22:09:48Buschelsoap: yes, v17 does not to be tested by you.
22:10:17OghamSo last question.. if this bug was going to cause damage to my IEM's would it be instantly recognisable or a slow degredation?
22:10:30*Ogham promises not to ask any more questions! :)
22:10:41[Saint]Well, at the end of the day the no warranty/guarantee is pretty specific.
22:10:54[Saint]And, that question is almost impossible to answer.
22:10:56*TheSeven thinks nobody knows a definitive answer to that, besides the manufacturer maybe
22:11:26soapOgham, IF IF it were to cause damage it would likely be through voicecoil overheating and eventual fuzing.
22:11:40soapIF IF IF IF
22:11:44TheSevengevaerts: so the fat code relies on bpb_bytspersec anyway?
22:12:03Buschel[Saint]: still compiling?
22:12:06gevaertsI guess so
22:12:19TheSevensoap: voicecoil overheating won't happen at that wattage, i would be more concerned about mechanical membrane damage
22:12:37[Saint]Yes, sorry. I needed to clean my build dir so it's taking longer than normal.
22:12:42[Saint]Buschel: ^
22:12:55soapthat voltage is too low as a percentage of "expected" to see much distention, no?
22:13:00 Quit factor (Ping timeout: 246 seconds)
22:13:55soapI mean, if a 10v rail to rail headphone amp won't bend the membrane too much why would 1/4v?
22:16:15TheSevena 10v rail to rail headphone amp? i doubt one will use such a thing at 16 ohms impedance
22:16:48 Quit saratoga (Quit: Page closed)
22:17:05TheSeveni'm pretty sure that one *can* damage 16ohms inears at 1V

22:24:20OghamThanks very much for your time all, one last thing then.. taking the no guarantee/warranty as a given - would you all be happy to continue usingexpensive IEM''s with rockbox in this situation?
22:24:54[Saint]I use a pair of Sennheiser IE8s
22:25:00*gevaerts considers using expensive IEMs to be proof of insanity, so he wouldn't use them, including in this situation
22:25:09[Saint];)
22:25:34OghamTrue.. I wish I had bought cheaper ones I would not be so concerned about now!
22:25:35TheSevengevaerts: i seriously doubt we can set sector_size to 4k without major ata rework
22:25:53gevaertsTheSeven: not sector_size, no, but hardcode disk_sector_multiplier
22:26:04Ogham[Saint]: Do you use them on a Clip+ with this firmware bug?
22:26:19TheSevenhardcoding that won't buy us much
22:26:38TheSeven(except from rejecting partitioning that the OF wouldn't like)
22:26:44gevaertsThe way things work now is that we actually have to trust data on the disk (partition table, FAT bootsector,...) to tell us how to interpret that same data
22:27:07[Saint]No, but at the end of the day I think you're being a little bit over cautious. A meteorite could plummet to earth and smash your IEMs, things break.
22:27:23AlexP_mobThat is a bit silly
22:27:47[Saint]That was kind of the point.
22:27:48AlexP_mobYou can't avoid that, you can this
22:27:55gevaertsOgham: have you considered contacting the manufacturer of your IEMs? They're much more likely to know
22:28:07gevaertsWe can really only guess
22:28:28AlexP_mobSaint no, I meant your point was silly
22:28:49[Saint]I realise that.
22:28:53gevaertsIf the things are really expensive, I'd assume they do have a support service that can be reached :)
22:29:33Oghamgevaerts: I think I better had.. that or switch back to OF and hope that I have not already caused considerable damage!
22:29:40TheSevenOgham: you could just put a decoupling capacitor in between)
22:29:45gevaertsAre you sure the OF doesn't do this?
22:30:01Oghamgevaerts: definately, its a rockbox issue
22:30:16gevaertsSure, but that's not what I asked
22:30:25OghamTheSeven: I guess I could try that.. again I am a little restricted by my lack of technical knowhow!
22:30:48gevaertsThe fact that rockbox has a bug does not prove anything about the OF
22:31:05[Saint]The forum suggests it's rather hit and miss, and dependant on the IEMs.
22:31:16[Saint]As I understand it, not all are experiencing this.
22:31:31Oghamgevaerts: Well, the mV was measured as 0 when the player was paused and using OF
22:31:37gevaertsok
22:31:45gevaertsTested multiple times, I presume
22:32:24gevaertsI mean, with this sort of bug, the value you get is more or less unpredictable and will be zero every now and then
22:32:30Oghamgevaerts: Yes, people suggested possible problems with the tests such as no load, and the tests were repeated
22:33:41[Saint]Buschel: success...stand by for FPS results.
22:33:50Buschel\o/
22:35:00Ogham[Saint]: well, the voltage is always there on a meter, but different IEM's vary in if they hear a squeak when the player is paused/resumed

22:37:14[Saint]Buschel: ^
22:38:54amiconnTheSeven: A, that's a detail I forgot. For some reason identify data is big endian, unlike normal ata data
22:39:00OghamWell, I think I better switch back to the OF for the time being.. I'm not convinced that my IEM's are safe, I just hope they are not already damaged too much!
22:39:11OghamThanks again all, sorry to get off-topic here!
22:39:25TheSevenamiconn: ah? i had the opposite impression when looking at the code
22:40:16amiconnSo if you want the 16 bit ints to be little endian, you need to byte-swap - but then strings are in the wrong order
22:40:50amiconnActually, that's probably the reason why it's big endian
22:41:21*TheSeven is completely confused now
22:42:18[Saint]Buschel: Where is the patch for the LCD shotdown artefacts I'm getting on iPod Colour? It's not on the tracker.
22:43:05TheSevenamiconn: apparently, on little-endian targets, identify and data is handled the same way, while on big endian targets they're handled differently

23:24:37amiconnTheSeven: This isn't easy to understand. Afaiu the different handling of identify and plain data on big endia is because we want plain data in original order, but identify data in target endianess
23:26:05amiconnSo on little endian no swap is required for both, while on big endian targets with hardware swap support we need to swap identify but not data, and on big endian without hardware swap support we need to swap data but not identify
23:26:37TheSevenyeah, i think i got it
23:27:20TheSevenand the ipod classic is different again: the data register is swapped, but not the control registers
23:27:24TheSevendon't ask me why
