00:07:34sirrozhahi guys, i’ve got an iPod Classic 160 GB and it’s fat, is there an inctruction how to get a rockbox? thx
00:09:16bluebroth3rsirrozha: http://www.rockbox.org/wiki/IpodClassicPort

00:11:07sirrozhathank you

00:13:07 Quit evilnick_B (Quit: Page closed)
00:13:13sirrozhai’ve read that already, everything seems to be messy, so I don’t understand clearly if I should do that. anybody here dot rockbox on 160Gb classic?
00:15:07sideralgevaerts: Anyway, the reason I was asking was that I'm playing with an fsck plugin
00:15:20gevaertssideral: ah, fun
00:15:31sideralderived from dosfstools, which went GPL3 three years ago
00:15:51gevaertsRight. That's more and more of an issue every week
00:16:07gevaertsI'd say we need to discuss this again at devcon
00:16:24sideralBut maybe I should just switch to NetBSD's fsck_msdos before I even get to compiling it :)
00:16:49gevaertsOr dosbox+chkdsk :)
00:17:02*gevaerts always tries to find the best solution
00:17:19sideralDoes the latest DOS support FAT32?
00:17:28gevaertsno idea
00:17:51sideral:)
00:18:28*gevaerts has never been much of a DOS user
00:18:50B4gderwe currently have two devcon dates where all currently signed up people can
00:19:19sideralMe neither, but my old Atari ST used an MS-DOS-like filesystem as well
00:19:30gevaertsYes, but not nearly enough names yet I'd say
00:19:56B4gderright

00:24:27sideralHi saratoga, could you have a look at FS #11891 (MP3 gap killer)? I remember you having a strong opinion on whether MP3 gap skipping should be optional or not... I'd like to resolve this to make this patch fit for eventual inclusion
00:29:12 Join bluefoxx [0] (fuzzylomba@S0106485b3917092d.vs.shawcable.net)
00:29:29 Quit ender` (Quit: The likelihood of Perl being involved in a system is directly proportional to the length of time the system has been in maintenance.)
00:29:41saratogasideral: the arguments over this patch in IRC and the tracker have convinced me that Buschel is probably the only one here who really understands exactly how this works, so I think that expecting users to make an informed decision about it is insane
00:30:51sideralsaratoga: Hmm... users can decide between "I don't wanna lose audio under any circumstance −− disable" and "I don't want avoidable gaps −− enable"
00:31:05***Saving seen data "./dancer.seen"
00:31:22sideralThere is a very direct effect that users experience.
00:31:30saratogathey're introducing error either way though, and if you don't understand why, you can't make an informed decision about which is better for your needs
00:32:10sideral??? sure I can, even as a total novice
00:32:38sideralit's a tradeoff between two bad things. they aren't equally bad for gevaerts and me, for example
00:33:37saratogai am unconvinced
00:34:08 Quit DerPapst (Quit: Leaving.)
00:34:19saratogathe fact that the last time we brought this up involved me arguing about how the filterbank worked for more then an hour does not fill me with confidence that regular users will understand
00:34:58sideralI think it's a useful feature for some, even without understanding anything about MP3 encoding works, which is why this should be an option.
00:35:17sideralThe effect is very noticable, and that's what users can use to base their decision on
00:36:03saratogathats an equally strong argument for having it set to "always on" with no run time option though
00:36:21gevaertsHow?
00:36:24sideralI don't think so.
00:36:33gevaertsIf the effect is noticeable, it's noticeable both ways
00:36:49saratogayes but in the negative it would be noticable because the gap is present
00:36:57saratogaand the gap is an error right?
00:37:02gevaertsno
00:37:05gevaertsIt *can* be
00:37:14saratogaif this is off, it has to be
00:37:33saratogayou need gapless info to get the gap length right
00:37:39saratogaso without it, you're going to have an error
00:38:15sideralthere's always some small error, yes. but it's preferable to some to cutting a bit of audio
00:38:29 Join enthdegree [0] (~enthdegre@cpe-024-211-171-023.nc.res.rr.com)
00:38:32sideralwhich I think we must respect
00:38:42enthdegreeI agree.
00:38:43saratogai'm not sure i really agree with that
00:38:56saratogahow much real audio, and at what intensity would you be losing?
00:39:17saratogawouldn't it have to be around -96 dB down? e.g. below the noise floor of all rockbox devices?
00:40:42gevaertsThat's still audio
00:40:47sideralsaratoga: That I can't answer. But from Buschel's comments I gather that it can be noticable because it's hard to define the threshold _exactly_ right. It might even depend on the particular track
00:40:47kugelB4gder: I see no page to sign up
00:41:30saratogagevaerts: no thats theory, its not audio until someone does an ABX test or similar and shows that they can hear it
00:41:49kugelwhere is the devcon 2011 page?
00:42:02gevaertskugel: see the email
00:42:20sideralsaratoga: I understand that if you set the threshold this low, you may still get some noticable piece of silence that you don't want when the feature is enabled
00:42:37kugelwhy don't we have a wiki page as every year?
00:43:03*gevaerts still doesn't see why fixing those broken files is not an option
00:43:39kugelI suspect this page, only publizied via ml is surprising/unseen for many
00:43:45sideralgevaerts: Because you may not have access to the source. For example, I have purchased misencoded MP3s at Amazon
00:44:00gevaertssideral: adding a tag does not require that source
00:44:19gevaertsAnd that's *all* you need
00:44:22Lloreansideral: The tag can be added with the same logic you'd be applying realtime, couldn't it?
00:44:27sideralI see what you mean
00:44:34kugelI would certainly prefer early june, my internship is starting mid/late june
00:44:41saratogaas I said the last time we argued about this, unless you have access to the lossless source (in which case this whole problem is moot), then fixing the tags is not a good solution since it will generate files with gapless tags that probably do not have the exact right number of samples
00:45:15Lloreansaratoga: In what way is "tags that aren't entirely accurate" worse than dropping the same data without tags telling you to?
00:45:16sideralBut I'd strongly prefer an option that does this in real time, purely for convenience.
00:45:25saratogahttp://www.rockbox.org/irc/log-20110211#22:13:39
00:45:30gevaertssaratoga: if the detection is good enough to force on everybody without an option, it's *also* good enough for a tag
00:45:42saratogano its not because it misleads the user
00:45:49gevaertsYou can't have it both ways
00:45:51saratogaif you know theres no gapless info, you know theres something wrong
00:46:05saratogaif you have a made up gapless tag, you have *no idea* what happened to the file
00:46:37LloreanWouldn't it be an explicit tool?
00:46:43LloreanIs this "users may forget they added the tag"?
00:47:04saratogaor share them with others
00:47:23saratogaif i download a file off amazonmp3 i'd like to know that the gapless tags aren't estimated
00:47:49gevaertsBut when you listen to it, you don't care?
00:48:05saratogawhat do you mean?
00:48:35gevaertsYou're claiming that the detection is good enough to be used unconditionally
00:48:48saratogayes
00:48:51gevaertsWhich implies it's good enough to *never* be noticeable
00:48:54saratogano
00:49:11gevaertsThen how can it be good enough to be used unconditionally?
00:49:14saratogafirst of all, noticable?
00:49:18saratogawithout access to the lossless source, it would of course be impossible for me to determine if the file is incorrect
00:49:25saratogaso what is there for me to notice in the amazon case
00:49:40sideralI think asking users to jump through hoops when we can do it on the fly is not the right way. With this argument, we'd have to eliminate all kinds of audio processing
00:50:29saratogayou can only determine audibility by comparison to lossless
00:50:38gevaertsIf you can guarantee that the code will *never* cause anyone to notice that his files are now not playing back as intended, then it can be enabled unconditionally. If not, you're *deliberately* crippling someone's audio playback
00:51:30saratogawhat i am claiming is that essentially everyone who has argued with me here is completely unqualified to determine the correct setting for that switch on a per file basis, and so there should be no such switch
00:52:21gevaertsRight. I'm not saying there should be a switch
00:52:33kugelwe also have embedded aa, where you could also argue to "fix" the file with an external tool
00:52:41saratogawith regards to errors, I think its extremely unlikely anyone will notice them
00:52:42gevaertsI'm only saying that if there is code to decide what I hear, it should not be unconditional
00:52:48kugelof course this gap skip thing is just as well solely for user convinience
00:53:20saratogathats a dumb argument though since by that logic everything should be configurable
00:53:29saratogathe DSP engine makes thousands of assumptions
00:53:41saratogawhy not let the user pick all of them!
00:53:55saratogabecause only options where the user is informed enough to pick better then the computer should exist
00:54:13sideralor where it's just a matter of preference
00:54:17saratogaand this is not one of those times as evidenced by the endless arguments and continued misconceptions here and in the previous IRC logs
00:54:34saratogapreference in audio is just another word for ignorance
00:54:48saratogapeople prefer something when they don't know which is actually better
00:55:16Lloreansaratoga: Do we really have features that throw away audio data, cannot be disabled, and aren't simply a part of the actual codec spec/definition?
00:55:42saratogapretty much every DSP operation alters the energy content of a waveform, some a lot more then errors here would
00:56:02saratogahell in some cases we even have different algorithms with different trade offs in rockbox
00:56:24saratogawould you prefer to let the user decide on which mp3 filterbank is used (once I get the new one finished)?
00:56:30kugeldsp can be disabled
00:56:33gevaertsHow many of those DSP assumptions are there *explicitely* to fix *broken* files?
00:57:34kugelI would like to see this patch in, with or without option (but I would prefer the non-option way)
00:57:51saratoganot so much broken (since the spec doesn't mention gapless), but maybe inexact?
00:58:00gevaertsSame thing
00:58:16gevaertsThey are broken since all decent encoders support adding tags
00:58:37saratogaIMO if the spec doesn't say what to do, its ok for us to pick the least stupid option
00:58:53 Quit robin0800 (Quit: Leaving)
00:59:19saratogai mean this whole argument is so ridiculous just because we're talking about time scales that don't even really have physical meaning to the codec
00:59:23gevaertsRight. And that is to not risk breaking people's audio unconditionally
00:59:27 Part toffe82_
00:59:37saratogawhat is accuracy supposed to mean when the error in question is less then an instant
01:00
01:00:07saratogahonestly i'm not even convinced you'd have a situation where this would break a file
01:00:11saratogaalthough i suppose it depends on how good your definition of "break" is
01:00:18sideralsaratoga: this less than an instant is clearly audible when you turn the feature off
01:00:30saratogaits only audiable though because of the discontinuity!
01:00:33saratogayou can't hear the gap
01:00:42saratogayou hear the jump from 0 amplitude to >0 amplitude
01:00:43sideralyes you can
01:00:53gevaertsYou are claiming that the discontinuity is *always* unintentional
01:01:03gevaertsProve it
01:01:05saratogahuh
01:01:29sideralmy impression is that there's an audible gap
01:01:39sideralthat is elided by this feature
01:01:59kugelI also think that discontinuity within such a tiny time frame and at the very beginning or end of a song is always unintentional

01:02:50kugelI want to see a song author that says "this tiny gap which sounds bad in track transitions make my song unique!"
01:02:51saratogasideral: you can't hear a gap of a couple milliseconds, you hear the fourier components of the square wave generated when you go from >0, to 0, and then >0 in a couple samples
01:03:07saratogaif you smoothed the transition you'd never hear anything
01:03:19saratogaeven though the lenght would be wrong
01:03:45gevaertsIf you can't hear it, what does this feature do?
01:03:47sideralmaybe
01:04:00saratogagevaerts: I think you misunderstand
01:04:02 Quit rasher (Ping timeout: 240 seconds)
01:04:05gevaertsEither you're lying, or you're hiding behind technicalities
01:04:30kugelyou don't hear the gap of silence, you hear what fourier does with that gap
01:05:05sideralgevaerts: saratoga claims you hear a click rather than a gap.
01:05:13gevaertsIs that relevant?
01:05:18sideralanyway, the feature elides it
01:05:19saratogagevaerts: this is the same idea you argued about last time where you could have the right number of samples but still hear a gap if the amplitude wasn't continuous
01:05:56saratogawell its relevant because it means that its very hard to hear when this patch gets it wrong
01:06:08gevaertsHow is that?
01:06:31saratogabecause in the wrong case you either make things no worse (take too little, leave the gap), or take too much (delete the gap and introduce an inaudible loss of a millisecond or so of audio)
01:06:48kugelif the last couple of frames/samples are all silent that you don't hear the difference because there's no discontinuity
01:07:35saratogawhich is why this is such an insane argument
01:08:04gevaertsRight. You're claiming again that a milisecond difference doesn't matter if *you* don't want it to (without *any* argument), but it *does* matter if you want it to
01:08:06saratogai'm not even convinced you could ABX this in a lab with custom designed samples, and we're arguing about real music on low quality mp3 files from 1998!
01:08:13gevaertsWhich is ridiculous
01:08:34gevaerts*fix* *the* *files* *then*
01:08:46sideralsaratoga: Even if you manage to convince gevaerts and Buschel, politically it would be wise to have a knob (or even a dial to define the threshold) so that people can experiment with their own expectations
01:09:06saratogaugh no
01:09:28saratogajust set it to be the 17 most significant bit
01:09:34saratoga17th
01:10:11sideralsaratoga: Are you convinced that kills all the relevant gaps? The patch contributor doesn't seem to be...
01:10:27saratogano it won't, if you want to do that you'd need a real gapkiller
01:10:31saratogaone that tries to remove all silence
01:10:35saratogathis is much less ambitious
01:10:36gevaertsOf course it does! The feature is perfect!
01:10:45sideralno, that's not what I meant with relevant
01:10:57saratogaah i see
01:11:00sideralI meant only those MP3 encoder/decoder delays
01:11:35saratogai think its impossible to always get it exactly right for the reason buschel mentioned: the loss of time resolution in the FIR filter, but i think you're unlikely to do much better by tweaking the thresholds
01:12:06sideralthe OP thinks otherwise
01:12:18saratogawhat are his thresholds?
01:13:03saratogamost generally, I think the idea of getting it "exactly right" doesn't really make sense when you're talking about bits of time less then the impulse response of your filter

01:13:39sideralThere is a 5000000 in the code, but I think it doesn't correspond to PCM values. I don't understand the code enough to tell
01:14:50saratogaisn't that pretty high?
01:14:53sideralHe says that the native 16-bit threshold corresponds to 491520 in his scale
01:15:07saratogaoh
01:15:17sideralwhich is an order of magnitude lower
01:15:29sideralbut I don't grok what the scale is

01:16:13saratogai'm not 100% sure that makes sense to me (shouldn't he be using the same PCM format as the DSP engine???), but if so that would mean hes clipping way above the noise floor

01:17:34sideralHe seems to think that he needs to clip some near-silence to cut out the waveforms building up towards the first real sample
01:17:36 Quit mudd1 (Ping timeout: 246 seconds)
01:17:58sideralIt could well be that he's cutting too much. He says he chose the value rather arbitrarily
01:18:22saratogayeah i think that might cut too much by quite a lot
01:18:29sideralso that it works for his files
01:18:32saratogabut i guess he picked that because it sounded best?
01:19:21sideralguess so. but some fine tuning might still be necessary. anyway, this doesn't appear to be an exact science, giving weight to gevaerts' point
01:20:18saratogai remember doing this with WMA where i'd plott he waveforms from rockbox vs. the gapless MS decoder and you'd see a slow ring up of a bunch of samples before the audio started, i guess the problem here is that he needs to avoid detecting that
01:20:58sideralyep
01:21:09saratogawell it depends how this is going to work, if we're really going to set it at some rather high threshold and lose substantial numbers of samples, then maybe
01:21:52saratogai prefer to have a low threshold ( 0 from CD audio) so that we're sure to (never?) take too much
01:22:41sideralI understand the sentiment, but if that doesn't elide the gaps, it would be rather useless

01:23:16 Join milk [0] (~milk@94-193-93-226.zone7.bethere.co.uk)
01:23:29saratogathinking about this more, i guess if you want to configure the threshold like you suggested before, that might make sense if people are going to potentially set very high gaps
01:23:51saratogai wonder though if just playing it safe and accepting that they'll probably be gaps is the best way to go
01:24:16sideralyou mean the status quo?
01:24:23saratogawell not exactly
01:24:30saratogamuch smaller gaps, and probably sometimes no gaps
01:24:37saratogaso a little better
01:24:38sideralah, OK
01:24:56saratogathats probably my personal preference, not sure if I have a good technical arguement for it
01:25:25sideralbut you're not opposed to making this configurable / tunable any longer?
01:25:28saratogai guess gevaerts suggestion of using something like itunes to add gapless info would also work if people wanted to guess (i think we read itunes info?)
01:26:13gevaertsI seem to remember someone adding that
01:26:36saratogawe should never expose things like how the filterbank padding is handled to users, but thresholds are probably easier to use correctly
01:26:56saratogaalthough i wonder in this case if it should be a generic DSP option for all codecs
01:27:08saratogaif you're going to let the user fine tune it, why does it have to be MP3 only . . .
01:27:25sideralbecause it addresses an MP3-specific deficiency?
01:27:38sideralusing MP3-specific info
01:27:43pixelmaI believe markun added that but I'm not sure if it was enabled for MP3 (for some reason I believe it's currently AAC only but I could be wrong)
01:27:48sideralsuch as #samples / frame
01:27:55gevaertsThere's the current technical limitation that the codec is the only bit that knows how near the track boundaries it is
01:27:59saratogaWMA also has this problem
01:28:20gevaertsr22872 "add gapless support for MP3 files encoded with iTunes"
01:28:37saratogatrue, but if the user is expecting the gap to be killed with enough tweaking, they may actually want to remove samples past the frame boundary
01:28:57pixelmaah, ok. Maybe it's even the other way round
01:29:54sideralI think making this more generic is a great idea, but I think you can make good use of the codec info, such as making an assumption on whether the silence is intentional or not based on how far into the track it reaches
01:30:24saratogadoes the DSP engine know if the current audio is from a gapless codec?
01:30:29 Quit MagusG (Ping timeout: 276 seconds)
01:30:58gevaertsI doubt it
01:31:02siderallikely not. but we also don't want to elide too much silence from tracks w/o gapless info
01:31:17saratogathe buffering code does I believe, so maybe its not too hard to expose it
01:31:44sideralthat would be a separate generic gap killer feature, which is not what I'm after
01:31:59saratogai guess i don't mind having a user confirable threshold here, but it seems weird to make it mp3 only
01:32:09saratogai think most users will understand what its supposed to do
01:32:16gevaertsFor a generic implementation we probably want to export whether or not the codec is gapless (which, for mp3, also depends on the tags), how big a possible unintentional gap is, and where the boundaries are
01:32:33sideralright
01:33:21 Quit sideral (Remote host closed the connection)
01:33:41gevaertsI'd guess the buffering code doesn't know *enough*. You don't want to kill gaps if there are lame tags I guess
01:33:51 Join sideral [0] (~sideral@213.165.85.248)
01:33:53saratogathe individual codecs of course have that info, so i guess at worst they could tell the buffering engine if its expected to have gaps

01:34:04sideralI think we can easily make this more generic later on
01:34:17sideralI doesn't hurt to do it for MP3 only first
01:34:36sideralbut Llorean already commented that the feature's name should be more generic than "mp3 gap killer"
01:35:03saratoga"remove mp3 silence"
01:35:35saratogaor i guess "mp3 silence removal threshold"
01:35:38saratogahow long can they be?
01:36:05sideralhe proposed something along the lines of "attempt gapless playback", without the codec name to be generic
01:36:19saratogai don't think we should say gapless
01:36:29saratogaits just a threshold we're setting right?

01:37:25sideralthe feature has to be discoverable for users, so mentioning gapless playback would be good

06:42:32JdGordonprobably
06:42:40JdGordoni have no idea what thats supposed to do though :)
06:42:45JdGordonECANTREADSKINCODE
06:44:31[Saint]the popup tab is "identifier" here, and that fires the popup viewport when it's true...seeing as the check to see if a specific touch area was fired...I figured, can't we check if that identifier is true elsewhere, and use that as a condition?
06:44:48[Saint]firing the track info viewports only when it's false would fix this.
06:45:31JdGordonyeah but that wont really work
06:45:33[Saint]It works in my head ;)
06:45:51[Saint]why won't it work?

06:49:00[Saint]that sucks...I can't see anything wrong with that. When the viewport fires, it should "just work".
06:49:42[Saint]It's not doing anything fancy...it's just a viewport with a volumebar and a slider. neither the bar or the slider is drawn.

06:59:25JdGordonpardon?
06:59:39JdGordonoh the slider will be the whole width?
06:59:51S_a_i_n_tyes...it's the only way I can do it.

07:00:07S_a_i_n_tbut I can do the image so it doesn't *look* like it is.

07:00:20S_a_i_n_tHmmm...yeah, I could.
07:01:11S_a_i_n_tI suppose I could just load 4 filler images, top bottom and sides instead of a backdrop.

08:01:23*S_a_i_n_t dislikes issues like this, so opts to let others decide.
08:01:23LloreanI would think being right handed what's on the right is more accessible (to your right thumb)?
08:01:32S_a_i_n_tgevaerts: Torne: ^
08:01:36LloreanI hold my gadget in my primary hand if it's just something like track skipping / volume adjust / whatever
08:02:01LloreanIn fact, what I'd do is have the shuffle/repeat option on the left, since I almost never use them, then back/pause/forward on the right so they're easier to use onehanded
08:02:12S_a_i_n_tLlorean: my right thumb reaches the left side of my handset more easily.
08:02:20LloreanSince skip-forward is probably the most-pressed (for me) I'd want it at the edge of the screen and easy to use with my primary thumb
08:02:25LloreanI'm a lefty, so that can't happen, but... y'know.
08:02:26S_a_i_n_tthe left themb the right side more easily in turn.
08:02:34S_a_i_n_t*thumb
08:02:51LloreanI find reaching across the handset makes it more likely to register accidental presses, and I can reach the near side quite easily
08:03:01LloreanThen again, my screen seems *really* sensitive
08:03:39S_a_i_n_tLlorean: It was decided (I think) that play/pause/stop should be central, and prev/rewind to the left, and next/fastforward to the right.
08:03:45S_a_i_n_tas this is "sane ordering".
08:04:02LloreanYes, between those three, that makes sense
08:04:03S_a_i_n_tthe question left is, shuffle on the left repeat on the right...or vice versa.
08:04:08LloreanBut I don't see why those three need to be in the center of the screen
08:04:16LloreanYou could has (repeat)(shuffle)(prev)(pause)(next)
08:04:19Llorean*have
08:04:22 Quit BHSPitMonkey (Read error: Connection reset by peer)
08:05:02S_a_i_n_tHmmm...it does kinda *look* better with play/pause/stop central.
08:05:08S_a_i_n_tat least in portrait mode.
08:05:18LloreanThat's subjective though, anyway
08:05:54S_a_i_n_t'tis indeed.
08:05:56LloreanI actually have several gadgets that have (play/pause)(prev)(next) even
08:06:15S_a_i_n_ttouch gadgets?
08:06:18LloreanSo I wouldn't rule that play/pause needs to be between the two, if you can improve ease of use for the more common actions by putting it elsewhere
08:06:44S_a_i_n_tthe reason why I was asked to change it is apparently we're the only ones that have this touch layout.
08:06:54LloreanS_a_i_n_t: Physical buttons on MP3 players, so it's the same situation - music controls on a device.
08:07:30S_a_i_n_tHmmm. I dislike contentious issues. especially with UI stuff.
08:07:40LloreanPersonally I'd want "prev" and "next" to be the easiest buttons to hit, followed by "play" followed by "shuffle" and "repeat"
08:07:46S_a_i_n_tI now have NO IDEA how to order the bottom panel.
08:08:16LloreanI'd honestly put the buttons at the *top* of the screen myself. Easier to press over all (for me)
08:08:25LloreanLess thumb angling.
08:08:41LloreanBut I'm just sayin'
08:09:06LloreanIt may be best to open up a wider discussion of how people use their touch devices. In the case of touchscreen devices, we're not just discussing how it looks but how people interact with it.
08:09:14LloreanIt's, essentially, "keymaps" for a screen.
08:09:31*Llorean would suggest starting something on the -dev mailing list as soon as possible.
08:10:03S_a_i_n_tI think I will follow the widget, and place play/pause/stop/ between next/prev.
08:10:36LloreanYeah, it makes sense to match the widget for now, especially.
08:10:38S_a_i_n_tthe question left is center it, or have it to left or right od the screen...and what to do with repeat and shuffle in turn.
08:11:48LloreanHonestly, I can see other reasons for a bit of separation between them, like a slightly larger gap between (shuffle)(repeat) (prev)(play)(next) since they affect playback order, rather than current playback state.
08:11:54LloreanBut again, that's just me.
08:12:00S_a_i_n_tprev/rew,play/pause/stop/next/ffwd,shuffle,repeat?
08:12:20S_a_i_n_tunless I get a screaming "NO!" very soon...I'll run with that.
08:12:48S_a_i_n_toops..."prev/rew,play/pause/stop,next/ffwd,shuffle,repeat?
08:14:15LloreanAnother advantage of "next" being at an edge of the screen is that you can do it by touch, say while driving (assuming you don't have the screen auto-offing, or can bring that up blind)
08:14:24*Llorean shrugs
08:14:27LloreanEither way, though

09:56:47S_a_i_n_tJdGordon: Do you think it would be possible to get the skin engine to draw a nice bi-tonal gradient as the background param in the default (or any other) viewport?With that, and my work to remove the "hardcoded" theme element backdrops from the cabbie backdrop (the .sbs and .wps can use the same backdrop now), things like the progressbar background, volume, shuffle and repeat backgrounds, the titlebar etc. we could save a considerable amount of skin RAM
09:58:28S_a_i_n_t220x340 backdrop is ~220kb, and it's just a simple bitonal gradient...drawing this with the skin engine would probably be faster to load, and would save a lot of skin buffer.

12:54:23S_a_i_n_tI made a font pack (~17mb total) with a bunch of fonts converted from DroidSans and DroidSans-Bold .ttf fonts (from Google Android) using convttf, these fonts range from 12pt to 50pt in 2pt increments and are available here: http://www.datafilehost.com/download-51b50235.html
12:54:25S_a_i_n_tThe link will stay active for 30 days after upload or the last download.
13:00
13:05:59dionoeaa convttf plugin would even allow using ttf fonts natively! (ok, it's never going to happen but it would be neat)
13:07:39ZagorI actually implemented exactly that for work this week
13:08:25Zagorthat is, converting ttf to bitmap fonts when loaded. so the customer only ever handles ttf files.
13:08:38S_a_i_n_tOoooohhh ;)
13:08:50S_a_i_n_tSo, you think some of your work could be ported? ;)
13:09:29S_a_i_n_tIf the fonts are converted natively, there's no issues about distribution.
13:09:44Zagorwell it's mostly freetype code, and knowing how to deal with the kerning and offsets
13:11:06Zagorthe arm build of the freetype library is 660 KB...
13:11:24S_a_i_n_tIt would be truly awesome for RaaA to have the option of running a plugin after the first run (or on demand) to generate a fontset for the device from the .ttf files available on the device.
13:12:21Zagorwell, you need to know which size to use
13:12:46Zagoror make a bucketload of them :)
13:13:25S_a_i_n_tthe second option isn't so bad.
13:13:50Zagorit is for gnufont :)
13:13:57S_a_i_n_tDroidSans and DroidSans-Bold 12~50py fonts in 2pt increments comes out to ~17mb
13:14:11S_a_i_n_ts/py/pt/
13:14:27Zagorhow many glyphs is that?
13:14:50S_a_i_n_tdamn...I just closed the console.
13:15:01S_a_i_n_tum...~600 or so I think
13:15:59Zagorprobably the best option is to have a companion app that creates the fonts, rather than a plugin
13:16:41Zagoradding the freetype source in the rockbox build is no fun
13:16:55Zagorgsoc project!

13:50:03kugel_S_a_i_n_t: you could probably easily hack up a plugin on RaaA (not so easy on native targets that if the freetype lib is that huge)
13:50:52Zagoryes, it would be easy but we really don't want freetype in our build
13:51:40Zagorand rather than mucking with an external plugin, a separate app is a much saner option
13:52:31gevaertshm, does car adapter mode play nice with party mode?
13:52:36kugel_a separate app can't access rockbox' font folder on the internal memory
13:53:41kugel_so it'd require you to install the font pack as you lose the fonts on the internal memory once you have a font folder in /sdcard/rockbox
13:54:39JdGordongevaerts: i doubt it
13:55:05Lloreangevaerts: I'd guess party mode prevents car adapter mode (and I'd argue that maybe it should - if Car Adapter is accidentally on, and it's unplugged from power at a party, it probably shouldn't stop)
13:55:22LloreanWell, prevents car adapter mode from pausing/stopping

14:41:34S_a_i_n_tI forgot volume
14:42:19S_a_i_n_tI have settled on "volume, repeat, shuffle, prev/rew, play/pause/stop, next/ffwd"
14:42:32Zagordo we have our own volume on raaa?
14:42:45S_a_i_n_tyep
14:42:54Zagorwhy?
14:43:18preglow_tried to ask that myself
14:43:25Bagdervolume is really pointless on screen
14:43:26 Nick preglow_ is now known as preglow (thomj@tvilling2.pvv.ntnu.no)
14:43:28S_a_i_n_tit's actually very cool, as you can use the system volume as the "max global volume", then use RaaA's much finer volume tuning.
14:43:43Zagorthat's cool=
14:43:43Zagor?
14:43:50ZagorI'd call it annoying
14:43:58preglowthe volume widget onscreen is more bother than anything else, i often inadvertently change it when pressing pause, and can't get it back to 0 db
14:44:03S_a_i_n_tuseful.
14:44:18Bagderwell, it's not useful if you think you can raise the volume there
14:44:31Bagderor hit it accidentally as preglow says
14:44:35Zagorvaguely useful in some corner cases, perhaps. not icon-on-the-frontpage useful.
14:44:56Zagorand definitely not customary in android apps
14:44:58preglowi don't see why rockbox should have its own volume when no other apps do
14:45:26Zagorme neither
14:45:58S_a_i_n_tthe system volume control is nowhere near as fine garained as RB's...which is something I find annoying personally.
14:46:06S_a_i_n_tquite big jumps.
14:46:06preglowbut rockbox people generally seem adverse as hell to give up on even redundant features, so i assume it'll stay :>
14:46:14S_a_i_n_t*grained
14:46:45preglowi think there is a way to adjust it in finer steps
14:47:34preglowi never required such finegrained control over it anyway
14:47:35S_a_i_n_tanyway, the volume icon also serves to open the volume slider popup, which gives a nice slider to control the volume with.
14:47:51S_a_i_n_tso no need to fight with the volume in settings, or on a tiny touch icon.
14:48:03preglowso you can't manipulate the icon directly now?

14:48:51BagderI'm firmly against that on a default wps
14:48:51S_a_i_n_tinstead of using a tiny volume icon, the volume icon brings up a nice popup window.
14:49:00S_a_i_n_twhere the volume is adjusted on a slider.
14:49:12preglowbut yeah, two volume controls is nothing else than confusing no matter how it's done
14:49:13S_a_i_n_twhy?
14:49:24Bagderbecause it is mostly pointless
14:49:25ZagorI have volume +/- buttons. they work very nicely.
14:49:35S_a_i_n_tagainst it...sure....though I don;t know why, but *firmly*?
14:49:44Bagderfirmly, because I think default should be nice and clean
14:49:52preglowit's not readily apparent in any way that rockbox's own volume control is something else than what you'd expect from any other androiud app
14:49:54Bagdernot packed with silly things nobody needs
14:50:15S_a_i_n_twhat's unclean about a nice convenient popup volume window?
14:50:25Bagderand I say default, I can live with it being in custom things for those who really want it
14:50:32ZagorS_a_i_n_t: it's not volume! it's attenuation top top of the volume.
14:50:37Zagor*on top
14:50:44preglowall media players just use android's own media volume, why should rockbox be different? and how can we expect users to understand that it is?
14:51:06preglowrequiring reading of the manual for something as simple as the volume control is just stupid...
14:51:15S_a_i_n_tmeh...crying to me will hardly solve it.
14:51:22preglownot really crying to you
14:51:28preglowjust stating my opinion and hoping it's read
14:51:28S_a_i_n_twhile it's there, I will give facilities to use it in the themes.

14:51:39Bagderwe're discussing, that's not the same as crying...
14:51:50S_a_i_n_tit's really kugel's say I guess.

14:52:19S_a_i_n_tyeah..."crying to me" is perhaps not so easily translated.

14:52:36preglowno biggie anyway
14:53:24*dionoea would love to have something like RaaL
14:53:41preglowhm?
14:53:47Zagorjust to clarify, I don't oppose it being in the code or some themes. I just don't think it should be in the default theme.
14:53:48dionoeajust an audio playback library
14:53:51S_a_i_n_tI remember it coming up many moons ago...and kugel mentioned then that several users had said they liked having the two volume controls...I've heard the same myself personally.
14:54:03S_a_i_n_tNow all of a sudden the opposite, so I don't know what to think.
14:54:06Zagordionoea: I'm working (slowly) on that. it's... messy.
14:54:12dionoeaoh. cool
14:54:34BagderS_a_i_n_t: it was never asked on the dev list for example, was it?
14:54:47kugelI don't see why we can't sell it as a feature but should copy existing apps' behavior instead
14:54:52preglowsome users is always bound to like some random feature, it's more a question of how we want rockbox do be, if you ask me
14:54:56preglowand i'd like more simplicity
14:54:58dionoeaI was thinking about an http interface to rockbox but that would only really make sense if the core features were exposes as a library.
14:54:59preglowit's getting a bit out of hand
14:55:00Zagorhaving the possibility is a good thing. having a confusing default is not.
14:55:02kugeland this more fine grained control is a feature for me
14:55:17dionoea(To use rockbox as a source for a home stereo system)
14:55:23S_a_i_n_tkugel: The seeming need to copy existing implementations annyos me somewhat too.
14:55:24kugelpreglow: rockbox consists of a hell lot of random features
14:55:28preglowkugel: quite
14:55:41dionoeas/exposes/exposed/
14:55:58S_a_i_n_tI also find the fine grained control a big bonus...but others seem to find the system volume sufficient, whereas I *really* don't.
14:55:59Zagorwe are discussing the default theme here, not available features in rockbox
14:57:11Zagorthe default theme is all about introducing new users
14:57:28S_a_i_n_tI also find it convenient that I can set Rockbox to a volume level, and have it remembered.
14:57:43Zagorthey will be suitably shocked by the amount of options anyway, without us forcing it on them
14:58:16preglowyou can still do that without it being on the wps
14:58:20preglownp
14:59:22kugelI don't desperately need it on the wps
15:00
15:00:25kugelbut then we need an android specific wps because the other touchscreens (including maemo) don't have this feautre
15:00:31S_a_i_n_tI think the volume icon makes sense in the .sbs and the .wps...as we need to keep in mind we suport targets with no HW buttons.

15:14:41pixelmaurgh, the volume control on my Android phone is way to coarse and even "1" is too loud with simple earphones in a quiet surrounding where "0" is mute. I like that Rockbox gives me finer control but I agree that controlling the maximum through the global volume and Rockbox being percentage (or what) of that confused me and then it's almost two fine grained
15:15:18pixelmamaybe it could somehow "sync" to the global volume and add a few extra steps between or so

15:26:26dionoeayou also have to note that the media stream volume is common to all media apps
15:27:08dionoeaso that would probably lead to unwanted behavior in case other media apps were running at the same time.

16:06:11Zagordionoea: I don't see the problem really. we bump the android volume 1 step, and add 90% attenuation. then the next 9 steps we decrease 10% attenuation, then repeat.
16:06:31Zagorother media players would get the same volume, just not the higher resolution
16:08:11pixelmaeven if it's not completely "clean", I guess it's better than what there is now
16:11:13kugelZagor: the attenuation doesn
16:11:26kugel't give you values between the global volume steps
16:11:51Zagorno, we need to create such adjustments ourselves
16:12:05Zagorwhich might be a challenge, but is technically possible

16:13:12kugelthere's also the issue that some parts (like fade on pause) mess with the volume

16:13:46kugelI don't use fade on pause, but it'd be pretty horrid of that affects the OS global volume, no?
16:13:47Zagors/internal volume/attenuation/
16:14:10ZagorI agree, it must only use our attenuation
16:14:13kugelwe don't have the concept of multiple volumes in rockbox yet
16:14:16Zagorwhich it does
16:14:31Zagorit's just a "device driver" thing. no concept needed.

16:19:15n1sexcept maybe on hwcodec targets
16:26:20amiconnOn hwcodec we could do it in the MAS stereo matrix (where stereo width is handled as well). This would need dB -> linear conversion

17:05:30thomasjfoxgevaerts: We could exclude it
17:06:55thomasjfoxgevaerts: handle_sleep_timer() has been recently created when I splitted handle_auto_poweroff() into a smaller function
17:08:48thomasjfoxI'll just ifdef the code inside handle_sleep_timer so I don't have to clutter the call site
17:09:11thomasjfox(like sys_poweroff() already does)
17:09:17gevaertsthomasjfox: audio_stop() comes from flash/bootbox/main.c for the bootloader build apparently
17:09:41gevaertsSo you should probably add a stub there

23:21:50gbl08maso, I get to the conclusion that A-b repeat is stupidly disabled on nano2g. if any developer can test better and (if it really works) commit the changes to svn, it'd be gladly appreciated.
23:22:17gevaertsIt's not disabled. It just isn't enabled :)
23:22:35gbl08maas you prefer :)

23:32:04n1syeah, there are a few targets that don't have ab repeat enabled and i don't think ther's any reason for it
23:32:31n1sclassic is one of them, so i could fix that as soon as i get the bootloader installed
