08:34:39chrisbcan the sansa e250 and sansa fuze use the same usb cable?
08:35:56[Saint]as far as I know, yes.
08:36:21[Saint]If my understanding is correct all the Sansa dock cables are backward compatible.
08:36:29chrisb[Saint]: that is so good
08:36:57[Saint]Just resist the temptation to try an iPod cable ;)
08:37:04chrisb[Saint]: the e2xx seems to have moved out of production, clip and fuze are still going
08:37:32[Saint]It *will* fit, as it's just a standard Ridax connector, but the pinout id vastly different and it'll kill your DAP.
08:37:54chrisb[Saint]: thanks for the warning

08:42:50[Saint]A lot has changed since then ;)
08:43:05[Saint]The Classic has been supported for approximatelt 6 months now.

08:44:52[Saint]chrisb: Presently there is no Rockbox bootloader, so you need to use an application called emCORE to boot the ROckbox image.
08:45:04[Saint]you can check out the installation details here: http://www.freemyipod.org/wiki/EmCORE_Installation
08:46:34[Saint]there are some drawbacks, presently there is no dualboot (you won't be able to use the Apple FW, it's completely removed in the install process), battery life is considerably worse than the OF, and installation means completely formatting the device (so you need to back up any media you want to keep beforehand).
08:46:46CIA-58New commit by nls (r29987): libtremor: comment out unused struct member.
08:48:07[Saint]after you have emCORE installed you can get the daily builds from here: http://download.rockbox.org/daily/ipodclassic/
08:48:29pixelmasideral: it's freqmod (sometimes with _ and stuff) in #quassel. I'm sure it's him as he contributed to the client and started the android port with the same name. I try to get some others to ping him as I can't easily do this from my phone
08:49:06n1s[Saint]: only the 6g are classic!
08:49:31[Saint]n1s: All classics are supported I thought?
08:49:48[Saint]Oh...whoops, I totally missinterpreted that.

09:35:50*[Saint] wonders what "creeping cryption" is.
09:35:55n1sprobably not, it's also worth noting that previous generations also had encrypted firmware but that was easier to break
09:36:18[Saint]Ah, encryption.
09:36:45[Saint]Heaven forbid a device manufacturer should try to protect it's interests... ;)
09:37:21GodEater_wgchrisb - not necessarily - consumer manufacturers are listening - HTC, motorola and Samsung have all agreed to unlock their future devices.

10:36:32TheLemonMantoo bad it doesnt seem to work when uploaded to the device
10:37:52pamauryhow do you know it doesn't work ?
10:39:03TheLemonMani can resend the payload again without resetting
10:39:27TheLemonManthat means the device hasnt loaded the payload
10:39:35TheLemonManor at least that hasnt reinited the usb
10:40:55pamaurymy guess is that it doesn't reinit usb
10:41:08pamauryit just handles more commands
10:41:33TheLemonManis that possible ?
10:41:37pamauryyes
10:41:44pamauryI think so
10:46:02pamaurydo you have the binary blob downloaded on the device ?

10:47:24TheLemonMani guess they used real keys :|
10:47:49pamaurynot so sure
10:48:11pamaurythe key has to be written somewhere on the device, I can't see how could it be different from the one of the main firmware
10:48:11TheLemonManwell, no, there are 3 keys needed
10:48:20TheLemonManthe first one is zero

11:28:39TheLemonManfound the problem, you should first check for env variable before using it
11:30:18pamauryok I'll fix that, strange that it works on my computer then. And on others too :-/
11:31:24TheLemonManusing strcasecmp would be better too

13:35:08s__Cnow i just have one problem, which isn't hardware related
13:35:28s__Cwhen i update my database, i get 3 times the same song in the taglist
13:35:50s__Ceven if i remove the database and perform a new check it remains 3x
13:35:57s__Chow to fix it ?
13:36:16[Saint]check your disk for filesystem corruption.
13:37:15s__Cok
13:38:57 Join krazykit [0] (~krazykit@206.183.185.8)
13:39:27[Saint]Yeah, scan for/fix any filesystem errors, then for a re-init of the database by either manually removing the *.tcd files in /.rockbox or via the tools menu in emCORE
13:39:41[Saint]*s/for a/force a/
13:41:48s__Cwill the dock output soon be supported ?
13:41:56s__Ci mean for the sound
13:43:45siderals__C: If a filesystem repair doesn't fix this: Before you reinitialize the database, could you please make a backup copy of the /.rockbox/database.* files so that I can have a look at the corruption? Assuming you're willing to share the database, of course
13:44:03s__Cok no problem
13:44:11[Saint]People never really enjoy the answers to such questions....
13:44:36[Saint]Being a volunteer project & all, the answer is pretty much "maybe it will be, maybe it won't"
13:45:50s__Cwhy is there database_0, database_1 in .rockbox ?
13:46:10s__Cas well as database_idx.tcd ?
13:46:52sideralthe various files contain different tags, and are all indexed by the _idc file
13:47:05siderals/idc/idx/
13:47:24s__Ccan i remove all of them ?
13:47:30[Saint]yes.
13:47:35sideralafter you have backed them up
13:47:38sideralall of them
13:47:41sideral:)
13:47:50[Saint]If you want to guarantee you remove the database...do it via emCORE
13:48:12s__Cok
13:48:24s__Cbut i already tried that 4 times unsuccessfully
13:48:54s__Cthat's why i'm asking here
13:49:02[Saint]what was unseccessful? the file removeal?
13:49:10[Saint]*removal?
13:49:11s__Cno
13:49:20s__Cthe process you invited me to do
13:49:47n1s[Saint]: why would it be safer through emcore?
13:49:58[Saint]you've already verified there are no FS errors, and re-inited the database four times already>?
13:50:05sideralhave you verified that there are indeed no duplicates on the disk, for example in a trashbin folder?
13:50:15[Saint]n1s: Not safer...just, not prone to user error.
13:50:27[Saint]emCORE won't miss anything ;)
13:51:24sideralthat is, if you look at the track's properties (in the DB browser's context menu), do all duplicate entries refer to the same file?
13:51:46sideralAlso, how many tracks do you have on the device, and are you using automatic DB updating?
13:52:08[Saint]Hmmmm...maybe it might be handy if Rockbox had a "kill the database" function.
13:52:33[Saint]Perhaps I'll add .idx and .tcd files to the disktidy plugin.
13:52:35sideralSaint: Well, the DB init function pretty much does that
13:52:35n1si thought initialize now was supposed to do that
13:53:33[Saint]It won't remove them if they're corrupted. reiniting the db will leave corrupt .tcd files in place in my experience.
13:54:10sideralSaint: Hmm, that would be a bug. Could you please file a report if you manage to reproduce it?
13:56:02[Saint]Another reason I think it might be handy to add database files to the disktidy plugin is that you might not want to use the database again after killing it.
13:57:30sideralUnimaginable ;) but yeah, why not

22:12:36LloreanWe should probably remove the lamp plugin from the FuzeV2, or demote the port, since people keep reporting hardware issues with its screen. It's clear we're not only doing something wrong, but something potentially damaging on that one.
22:13:22saratogaLlorean: the brightness is already capped in SVN, its just the older release builds that are a problem
22:13:45saratogaremoving the lamp plugin from the 3.8.1 zip might not be a bad idea though
22:14:05saratogaapparently theres some other hardware revision that can't handle the maximum brightness

22:14:53pixelmathe lamp plugin sets the screen to maximum brightness though IIRC
22:15:31saratogayeah so i changed the max brightness in svn a while ago
22:15:33bertriklet's fix the maximum brightness, not hide the problem by removing the plugin

22:17:02saratogait may just be that for some players they switched out LEDs or resistors to ones rated for some other current

22:17:14LloreanFixing 3.8.1 would be nice, but if we're getting 3.8.2 in a few weeks, maybe just taking it down temporarily will be good enough
22:17:18saratogaor maybe they changed something about how they're wired to the voltage regulators

22:18:05*amiconn wonders whether he can get X5/M5 dualboot in before the release
22:18:20AlexPWe are getting a 3.9 in 2 1/2 weeks
22:18:22bertrikwell OK, I don't get it
22:18:24pixelmabertrik: or in this case - since it's a plugin - you can remove the .rock from the zip for the time being
22:18:32AlexPIf we stick to the schedule :)
22:18:44Lloreanamiconn: Isn't that entirely a bootloader issue anyway?
22:19:00amiconnYes it is
22:19:09 Quit robin0800 (Ping timeout: 258 seconds)
22:19:19bertrikbut removing the plugin isn't fixing anything, just removing one specific opportunity for the problem to surface
22:19:33bertrikwell, better than doing nothing
22:19:43pixelmabertrik: the talk is about the current 3.8.1 release not the coming
22:19:58amiconnIt would still be nice to have new bootloaders to go with the release - and the patch is touching crt0.S so it should go in before freeze. Or am I missing something?
22:20:27saratogaat least get the crt0.S change in, then i guess release bootloaders whenever they're ready
22:20:28bertrikremoving the plugin from 3.8.1 isn't fixing anything either
22:20:41TorneHm, I still need to see if i can fix the ipod settings reset thing before freeze..
22:20:42saratogawell hopefully its "fixed" in SVN
22:20:47amiconnIn order for this to work, I have to move the On vs. Hold detection into crt0.S, at least partially
22:21:43saratogaremoving it in 3.8.1 would at least reduce the odds that anyone else breaks their player

22:21:43pixelmabertrik: it's removing one of the sources where people can mess up and get into serious trouble
22:22:01bertrikok, probably the most common cause indeed
22:22:18amiconnsaratoga: The crt0.S and bootloader changes are interdependent
22:22:31saratogaah ok
22:23:02amiconnIf I'm going for the partial move that is - then crt0.S would have to set a variable that bootloader/iaudio_coldfire.c reads later
22:23:58*amiconn wonders whether we can do anything about the OF obviously not liking SSDs
22:24:15amiconnAt least mine - it will shut down after reporting a harddisk error
22:24:21amiconnWith a real hdd, it works
22:24:36 Quit robin0800 (Read error: Connection reset by peer)
22:24:56amiconnThe funny thing is that the preloader (also Cowon's code) is working fine with that same ssd
22:25:18amiconnOtherwise I wouldn't be able to flash
22:26:05amiconnHmm, actually even the preloader might have a problem too. Usually it should delete the flash file after successful flashing, but now I remember that it didn't
22:26:25Tornemaybe it doesn't like sector size?
22:26:31amiconnSo it probably fails on write, but is reading the ssd fine
22:26:55amiconnPlain bog standard 512 bytes/sector
22:26:59Tornehm
22:28:19bertrikmaybe we could simply pass an argument to main()?

22:58:04CIA-58New commit by thomasjfox (r29991): Pandora port: Automate rockbox.pnd (=binary archive) build
22:59:37sideralI'd like to know whether people are comfortable with removing fuzzy tag matching for database resurrection of tracks that have been renamed and retagged at the same time. This is causing problems with some podcasts that comprise only similar, same-length tracks (typically radio recordings). FS #12076 <http://www.rockbox.org/tracker/task/12076> has the complete story.
22:59:37bluebrother-bothttp://www.rockbox.org/tracker/task/12076 Autoresume feature can start from wrong offset due to resurrection of old runtime stats (bugs, assigned)
23:00
23:00:09sideralroolku views removing this feature as a regression, which I won't be able to fix before the release.
23:00:36sideralSo I could either restore the old behavior for the next release, or we live without the buggy feature for a while
23:01:22CIA-58r29991 build result: All green
23:03:16sideral"Removing this feature" here means making the fuzzy matching less fuzzy to avoid resurrecting old runtime data for tracks that are actually new

23:05:25AlexPsideral: It is a tricky one that
23:06:24AlexPI'd be inclined to leave the old behaviour until a fix for both can be found, purely as it was "first", and trying to gauge which is the more used feature/bigger problem is hard
23:06:47AlexPBut I don't have a strong opinion either way
23:08:28 Quit MethoS- (Remote host closed the connection)
23:09:23sideralHmm. The old behavior can do the wrong thing (bad stats for a new track), whereas the current, intermediate behavior can miss the right thing (resurrect stats for track that was renamed _and_ retagged). I personally lean towards the latter behavior, which I feel is "more correct".
23:09:38sideralBut I respect roolku's and your view as well. Tricky indeed
23:09:46AlexPWell, I don't really have a view
23:10:21AlexPOnly that in the event that it is a tie, I'd probably lean towards the first one, whichever it was
23:10:32AlexPI'm more likely to be hit by the second myself
23:10:38AlexPin fact only likely
23:10:52AlexPAs resume is the only bit of the db I use :)
23:11:01sideralIt's also still unclear how to make the feature work properly. Right now I'm leaning towards fingerprinting the encoded audio data.
23:11:20AlexPmaybe with two chunks at fixed percentages or something?
23:11:49AlexPI'm trying to think how to try to avoid e.g. blank sections but not taking too much time :)
23:12:23AlexPI think you are right in retrospect that the second option is "less bad"
23:12:34AlexPBut as I say, I don't mind :)
23:13:22sideralMy first try will be fingerprinting just the first 512 bytes, under the theory that silence at the beginning of the track typically is not encoded as all zeroes. Silence in digital audio typically is encoded as pink noise with low volume (IIRC)
23:14:04AlexPIs there a reason for the first 512 as opposed to e.g. 10% in? Avoiding extra disk access or somesuch?
23:14:44sideralbecause it's physically close to the metadata that is already read during the DB update
23:15:13AlexPIs that significant? (I have no idea what the real cost is.)
23:15:19sideralI'd like to avoid seeking as much as possible
23:15:22AlexPOK
23:15:36AlexPThis is of course a good aim :)
23:16:01AlexPI just have no feeling how much overhead it'd be to go e.g. 10% into the track @_
23:16:28sideralme neither, especially as I do not own a hard-disk-based player :)
23:17:21amiconnIt can also be costly on flash based targets
23:17:55AlexPOK
23:18:38amiconnDepending on how long a track is, reading 10% of it could e.g. take several seconds on Ondio
23:19:05AlexPamiconn: Not reading 10%, but reading 512 bytes starting at e.g. 10% into the track
23:19:22AlexPSo for a 2 MB track read 512 bytes starting at 200 k
23:19:30sideralwith a seek? You'd hope that the relevant part of the FAT is already cached, so it would be only 1 seek
23:19:51AlexPanyway, I have no idea what I'm on about so I'll stop talking :)
23:21:00amiconnReading a certain position without taking metadata into account may still miss a track
23:21:49amiconnMetadata size MAY VARY E:G: FOR ID§V"
23:21:54amiconnoops
23:22:04amiconn*may vary, e.g. for id3v2
23:22:09sideralWould you guys think that the current, intermediate behavior is a feature regression that requires a -dev discussion?
23:22:35sideralamiconn: This would seek into the encoded audio, skipping the header. the metadata parsers tell us where the encoded audio starts
23:22:40AlexPI have no idea how much that feature is used
23:23:08AlexPMaybe just drop an email explaining and saying this is what you plan to do and see if anyone shouts?
23:23:19*amiconn would usually vote for removing guesstimation, but can't really comment on this one since he never used db runtime data collection
23:23:29AlexPyeah
23:23:59AlexPI think most people would agree with the intermediate
23:24:05AlexPBut I have no basis for that :)
23:24:41sideralOK, explaining my intention on the mailing list is a good idea
23:25:22sideralThere will still be time to revert to the old behavior after the freeze.
23:25:44AlexPI don't guess that'll be necessary
23:25:49AlexPbut you never know :)
23:27:07sideralroolku found this important enough to reopen the FS issue :)
23:27:28AlexPyeah, it is clearly important to some

23:30:02sideralAs for new features for the next release: I plan to commit the anti-<Untagged> / basename patches (FS #12132 <http://www.rockbox.org/tracker/task/12132>) before the freeze
23:30:03bluebrother-bothttp://www.rockbox.org/tracker/task/12132 tagnavi: Support "basename" in formats and conditions; replace <Untagged> in track views (patches, new)
23:30:34AlexPbasename = filename?
23:31:35sideralbasename = last filename component without the directory paths. (example: basename of /a/b/c.mp3 = c.mp3)
23:31:53sideralthis will be displayed in lieu of the track name of there's no title tag
23:31:57AlexPso yeah, filename :)
23:32:10AlexPanyway, sounds sensible
23:33:47sideralThere's still one class of DB views left that doesn't adhere to my new track %format (Database->*-><All tracks>), but I likely won't be able to complete this before the freeze.
23:40:59sideralI also would have liked to include FS #12054 <http://www.rockbox.org/tracker/task/12054> in the next release, but I probably won't manage to complete it before next week. Configuration is still missing, and there's one annoying misbehavior that still bugs me

23:54:56sideralkugel: I've read your GSoC weekly report with interest. I think you're heading into the right direction with the API and the dircache rework. But I have one question / concern:
23:56:35sideralI think compaction of dircache, tagcache, and probably also skin data is not likely to reap any measurable benefit for the complexity this entails. If I were you, I'd drop this from the scope and focus solely on audio-buffer compaction
23:58:22kugelcompaction means the entire buffer is compacted, and individual allocation moved around
23:58:36***Saving seen data "./dancer.seen"
23:58:36kugelindividual allocation are generally not compacted
