03:03:35[Saint]IIRC, various media players use "folder.jpeg" as their album art location if not embedded, but that doesn't seem like a reason to ignore other extensions.
03:03:50*[Saint] shrugs.

03:04:39 Part mikroflops_
03:07:24ParkerR_[Saint], Well jpeg used to be the way most images were until they kinda went with jpg. Maybe it just hasn't caught up
03:08:55[Saint]I'm kinda leaning towards it being added solely because various media players use this format, as WMP set the style.

04:44:58[Saint]The Fuze+ isn't stable, you need to enable the display of non-stable targets.
04:46:02[Saint]"Configuration - Show disabled targets"
04:46:39[Saint]Ooooohhh...heh, I totally misread your post.
04:47:22[Saint]I also made a wrong. Bad me.
04:49:06baeglehmmmm, that didn't add any releases to the available list
04:49:11baeglestill only development snapshot
04:50:18[Saint]Yeah, I don't even know what I was thinking with that...I need to wake up, heh. I don't think there *is* a release for this target, so...it totally makes sense, but isn't exactly obvious.
04:52:21[Saint]iirc, only stable targets get RC and release builds.

05:36:10[Saint]I said so many wrong things, it killed kittens.
05:37:00[Saint]A quick backpedal and some actual correct info later, all is well.
05:37:37baegleI was ready to toss this POS out the window before Rockbox
05:37:40baeglenow I'm happy
05:37:50baegleAnd you can use that on the website as a testimonial
05:44:03ParkerR_baegle, Sweet
05:55:48baegleSo I've got an sd card for my player, and I want to have the simplest possible setup for an idiot proof playlist for an event
05:56:05baegleI figure, there's no need to organize by artist or album, just a single playlist
05:56:20***Saving seen data "./dancer.seen"
05:56:37baegleBut it looks like to use it, I have to create a playlist on the card, and then use File -> MMC01 then open the playlist
05:56:49baegleif I put everything in root, if I put it all in music, I have to go another step further
05:57:13baegleIs there an easier way? I notice that the Playlist Catalogue on the main menu doesn't notice that I have a playlist on the SD card.
06:00
06:00:40ParkerR_baegle, I think that playlist catalog is for playlist you make on the device not pls files
06:01:58 Part amayer
06:02:21baegleIs there a way to put a playlist on the main menu?
06:02:54ParkerR_Not sure
06:03:05[Saint]Not without recompiling from source, no.
06:03:33[Saint]Playlist Catalogue should be one the main menu, so, it's only one extra step.
06:04:14baegleHow do I add a link to a playlist on an SD card to the catalogue?
06:05:01[Saint]I take it this is a playlist you created manually, and then exported?
06:05:14baegleI created it on my computer by hand
06:05:15[Saint](which will probably fail, due to relative paths anyway)
06:05:26[Saint]Yeah, best to create on device.
06:05:32baeglenfw I'm gonna do that
06:05:37[Saint]Then, it'll "Just Work (TM)"
06:05:37baegleWay too much music
06:05:56[Saint]But, you said it's all in one dir, no?
06:06:11baegleOrder matters
06:06:13[Saint]Bring up the context menu on the containing directory, add to playlist, done.
06:06:24[Saint]Oooooh, ordering. Yeah, sucks.
06:06:30baegleyeah
06:06:55baeglelooks like I can maybe just do \<MMC1>\ ?
06:07:38[Saint]I think slashes mess it up, create a playlist on device from a file contained in the sdcard to check the formatting.
06:08:22[Saint]You'll also need to escape dirs that have spaces in the names: "/dir/my\ dir\ with\ spaces/file.file" etc.
06:09:27[Saint]I'm not sure how people go about exporting playlists and making sure the paths still make sense, I just use a dynamic playlist myself...so, yeah.
06:20:12baegledamnit
06:20:24baegleOK, how do I stop the current list and load another one?
06:24:06baegle[Saint]: Creating the playlist through the player doesn't work either.
06:24:39[Saint]can you define "doesn't work" please?
06:24:44[Saint]In what way does it fail?
06:24:52baegleNothing to resume
06:25:04baegleit adds the song to a new playlist as requested
06:25:08baeglebut the playlist won't play
06:27:06baeglewhy does "select" ask to delete a playlist anyway, That's the most counter intuitive process
06:27:24baegleohhhhhh
06:27:50[Saint]Sounds like you're just blowing away the dynamic playlist.
06:28:00[Saint]I assume you get a warning to this effect?
06:28:21baegleThat's exactly what I'm seeing. Didn't understand the message initially
06:29:06[Saint]You can create a static playlist from the current dynamic playlist from the context menu, iirc.
06:29:19baegleI think I might have gotten it
06:30:16[Saint]The hard thing to grasp, is that *all* Rockbox playback is playlist based. It is a little non-obvious.
06:30:45[Saint]Just launching an arbitrary file from the file explorer adds it to the dynamic playlist, which you can then save, or discard, etc.
06:31:18[Saint]Reading our Fine Manual may shed some light on the entire process for you.
06:31:50[Saint]I only use the database and dynamic playlist, so..creation of playlists and their management isn't a strongpoint of mine.
06:32:31baegleI'm just looking for a straight shot solution to a simple problem
06:32:33baegleI think I've managed it
06:33:07baegleAfter being on the brink of returning the Fuze+ because it wouldn't play my flac, I think I've got enough control with Rockbox to do my thing
06:33:50*[Saint] is aware of very few media players that play flac out of the box.
06:34:21[Saint]alac in the iPods is the closes I can think of off the top of my head.

06:37:47[Saint]...nice work SanDisk.
06:38:26baegleexactly
06:38:39baegleAnd it wasn't a 16 vs 24 bit issue either
06:38:58baeglesince these were 16 and the forums specifically identify 16 bit as the only type that works

12:05:58wodzyes
12:07:52amiconnThat's easy to explain. It's necessary for those targets where pictureflow is loaded as an overlay
12:08:58amiconnOtherwise the plugin might overwrite itself with data. plugin_get_audio_buffer() doesn't know whether an overlay already occupies a part of the audio buffer.
12:09:49gevaertsZagor: can you move the uploaded 3.12 files to the proper location one of these days and do the necessary magic?
12:09:53amiconnplugin_get_audio_buffer() just returns the same buffer over and over, no matter how often it's called
12:12:24wodzamiconn: ok, Could you explain me a bit how overlay is working actually?
12:14:55amiconnThe overlay loader (pictureflow.rock) gets the audio buffer, then loads the overlay (pictureflow.ovl) there
12:15:26amiconnThis is a mechanism to support large plugins on targets with a small plugin buffer, at the price of having to stop playback
12:16:02amiconnThe .ovl header is the same as that of an ordniary plugin, apart from the different load address
12:17:43wodzok, so if we hypothetically switch to relocatable elfs we may get rid of this and load the plugin at the 'right' address in the first place

14:53:39markunis opus decoding in real-time for all rockbox targets?
14:54:50EpicanisIt's been a few days since I tried it last, but last I tried on my Sansa C240 it was close, but not quite (hugely improved from the initial release, though).
14:55:38Epicanis(Had gone from 2-seconds-playing/1-second-pause to 8-seconds-playing/half-second-pause from initial release to when I last tried it)
14:56:29the-kylemarkun: I think it's realtime on most if not all targets, but there are still some ram issues on the clipv1. I'm not entirely sure about everything, as I've only tried it on the clipv1 and clip+.
14:56:59gevaertsmarkun: n1s summarised at http://www.rockbox.org/irc/log-20121007#00:34:43
14:57:35gevaertsSo I'd say for 64kbps files realtime on everything except PP, which is nearly there
14:57:48gevaertsNo ideas about other bitrates
14:59:27the-kyle128 is supposed to be near realtime on most targets. 256 still has a long way to go if I understand correctly, but I don't usually use 256 even on my clip+, so haven't tested it on anything yet.
15:00
15:00:08the-kyleI think 128k is still going to have some problems on slower targets.
15:01:57markunso it sounds like it will drain batteries pretty fast
15:02:48the-kyleI do notice a little decrease in battery life on my clip+, but it doesn't drain extremely fast.
15:06:01markunthe-kyle: good to know since I also primarily use the clip+
15:06:10gevaertsthe-kyle: does 256kbps make sense for opus?
15:07:06the-kylegevaerts: By all accounts, probably not. I think 180 is pretty much tops, but 256 may have some benefit in some applications. Probably not for portable though.
15:07:48the-kylemarkun: Opus works extremely well on the clip+.
15:08:17the-kyleIt actually worked well on the clip+ at the initial release.
15:08:33gevaertsI'd have thought opus would make most sense at the lower end, where (at least according to http://www.opus-codec.org/comparison/) it makes a lot of sense, but above 128kbps codec choice doesn't seem to make much quality difference
15:08:44*the-kyle patched it in a day before the release.
15:10:07the-kyleApparently there is a difference at 128k between Opus and Vorbis, but on portable devices, above 128k doesn't really make much of a difference.
15:10:52the-kyleOpus is the best I've heard at or below 128k.
15:11:20the-kyleThis is even taking into account the proprietary codecs.
15:11:37gevaertsYes, that's what that graph seems to show, except below 7k or so
15:11:56gevaertsBut still 7k to 128k is a large range to be good in
15:12:15the-kylebelow 7k, codec2 shows a lot of promise, but it's still not frozen.
15:12:47gevaertsThat's for rather different usecases again though I expect
15:13:24the-kyleCodec2 is supposed to be for ham radio and other very tight bandwidth speech applications.
15:13:34markunbelow some bitrate I guess it's just the SILK codec?
15:13:48the-kyleNot really practical for most portable audio devices.
15:14:05gevaertsCodec2 could be good for speech support on lowmem devices like the clip :)
15:15:17the-kyleTrue, and who wouldn't jump at the chance to read an audiobook at 2.4k? Well, it does sound a bit computerized, but it was intelegible at that bitrate.
15:15:55*the-kyle likes 12k and 16k Opus for audiobooks.
15:16:00markunTTS is the best codec for audiobooks of course ;)
15:16:38the-kylemarkun: This is true, of course, but there is not yet a working tts on Rockbox.
15:17:01the-kyleThey generally take a bit more ram also.
15:17:34gevaertsAt 2.4kbit, a 32MB device would have to spin up lightly less than once per day
15:17:38gevaertsGood enough for me :)
15:17:43markuneSpeak being GPLv3 is not a problem anymore, right?
15:17:54EpicanisI was wondering if codec2 might actually make some speech MORE intelligible...
15:17:59the-kyleI think someone was working on eSpeak, but I'm not sure about its status.
15:18:41the-kyleIt would solve a lot of problems if it can be made to work, including the whole .talk clip thing.
15:19:41markunI use espeak as TTS on my android phone, but I'm usually the only one in the car who understands the directions of google navigation
15:19:43the-kyleAlthough I think eSpeak is about the only tts that has a low enough memory footprint, so .talk clips and voice files may still need to be used on some targets, or where eSpeak is not the user's preferred tts.
15:20:59the-kyleI use eSpeak to make .talk clips and voice files for Rockbox. My wife uses Pico though, so I patched my tools/configure and tools/voice.pl to make it work with Pico.
15:21:50the-kyleThat still doesn't make the Rockbox utility use Pico, unfortunately.

15:26:51the-kyleAnybody know the status of eSpeak on Rockbox? I saw something in the git log about the possibility of supporting a native tts a month or so ago, but I didn't know if that was eSpeak related, and haven't seen anything since.
15:28:25*the-kyle is looking up the commit that seems to have mentioned it. It had something to do with the way voice data is stored.
15:29:00gevaertsThat's not related to TTS on the device
15:29:43gevaertsIt was about storing the necessary information on the device to allow rockbox utility to generate voice files without needing the rockbox servers, and without being restricted to unmodified builds
15:32:05the-kylehttp://pasting.tk/2
15:32:27*gevaerts nods
15:32:36the-kyleThe line of interest was
15:32:38the-kyleFurthermore, putting the voice strings on the target is also a prerequisite for
15:32:47the-kyle eventually supporting a TTS on the player.
15:32:50gevaertsRight. It's also needed for TTS on target, but it doesn't really do much for that
15:32:58*freqmod have made a codec2 interface
15:33:08freqmodif somebody just had ported it to fixed point
15:33:25freqmodbut the codec is still at the changing and experimenting stage
15:34:08the-kyleYes. It's still a bit of a chore to get codec2 to play on the computer.
15:34:30*the-kyle had to encode, decode and then play the resulting wav file.

17:00:30gevaertsthe-kyle: that permission was easy. GPLv3 is compatible with GPLv2+, without explicit permission. The potential problem is that the resulting binary is explicitely GPLv3(+), and whether or not that's a problem is *our* side
17:01:08gevaertsAlso, as long as we had v2-only code, *that* code was not compatible with v3, whatever the authors of the v3 people say
17:01:14the-kyleAh OK. I wasn't sure where exactly the problem was there.
17:02:05 Join speckmade [0] (~fnerd@port-92-202-105-94.dynamic.qsc.de)
17:02:16gevaertsThe main thing is that (for various reasons) we don't want to move the entire codebase to v3. It's *compatible* with v3 though, so having part of the source be v3 is not a big issue if we document stuff properly

17:04:56saratogayeah the espeak guy wouldn't actually give us the licensing terms we wanted
17:05:28saratogadoesn't matter now that we're GPLv2 or v3 though
17:05:39the-kyleSo it's safe from a licensing standpoint to use v3 only code in a v2+ project? That was what I thought the problem was.
17:06:05saratogayeah, if you do that you become a v3 project
17:06:11gevaertsWell, it depends
17:06:16gevaertsYour *binaries* become v3
17:06:33 Quit Zagor (Quit: Clint excited)
17:06:53the-kyleBut doesn't that raise some patent issues in some countries with some of the Rockbox codecs?
17:07:19gevaertsSo someone who gets a binary and then exercises his right to download the source might technically get v3 source, while someone who downloads a binary and then unrelatedly decides to also download the source gets mixed-license source
17:08:15the-kyleUn less, of course, I misunderstand some of GPLv3.
17:08:51saratogagevaerts: i don't remember clearly, but i think the reason we didn't put clipping prevention on by default is that for the other 99.99% of people it'll make volume normalization not work as well
17:09:20gevaertssaratoga: 99.99% is a serious claim :)
17:09:22saratogasince it'll scale other people's tracks down if they have some minor clipping
17:10:22saratogaalthough i guess most people won't notice
17:10:41gevaertsI don't have a real opinion on the entire thing, but I'm not too surprised some people are a bit upset by the "But it works fine if you listen to rubbish!" (from their (and my ;) p.o.v.) argument
17:11:23gevaertsTo be honest, to my ears the music where clipping isn't a problem, clipping wouldn't make it sound worse ;)
17:11:46saratogaclipping is really common, but its usually just one or two samples
17:12:00saratogapretty much everything clips in mp3 format for instance, but you never hear it
17:12:06*gevaerts nods
17:12:49saratogai don't really care, it seems like the subset of people who scan their files with replaygain but don't know what it is or hwo to change its settings is probably too small to worry about
17:12:49gevaertsAs I said, I don't have a real opinion. We might want to mention the genre-specific peculiarities in the manual or on the wiki though
17:13:44saratogathe whole idea of defaulting on was mostly that i kept erasing my settings while debugging and hated having to turn it back on :)
17:13:57gevaerts:)
17:14:27saratogai do wonder if maybe it would make sense to give our DSP engine an extra dB of headroom though
17:14:41saratogai tried one of those files posted in the forums in foobar2000 and it does not clip regardless of settings
17:14:54saratogai'm assuming foobar just keeps a little more extra headroom then we do
17:15:01evilnickIF this were to have any effect, then it'd be for people who have downloaded music files from some source that does use replygain when the downloader themselves don't.
17:15:31evilnickTherefore the files to clip would be likely to be ones that are copyright infringing anyway
17:15:43evilnickTherefore it doesn't matter :D
17:16:20gevaertsI have no idea if legal file purchase sites tend to use replaygain
17:16:56the-kyleNot that it matters all that much, but I have a 256k Opus file playing in realtime on the clip+. I get a hard freeze on the clipv1 before playback instead of on stop, but I'd never use 256k on a 2GB device anyway.
17:19:02the-kyleI purchase music from Amazon mp3, and I don't think it's using replaygain. It usually shows up as mp3 tags, but I don't see appropriate tags on those files.
17:19:38gevaertsThe mp3 music I've purchased also doesn't seem to have it
17:19:53saratogais volume proportional to intensity or amplitude? i always forget which decibel to use
17:24:39derfsaratoga: BTW, I found out there _was_ a NULL check on the global stack allocation, but it was accidentally moved inside a CUSTOM_MODES ifdef.
17:25:12saratogaso that may result in memory corruption on low memory targets?

17:40:22ParkerR_And I;m just sitting here wondering what the heck an opus file is.
17:40:27ParkerR_*I'm
17:40:32Epicanishttp://opus-codec.org
17:40:57EpicanisVery nice, high-quality codec (with low-latency so it's also suitable for VoIP)
17:41:05the-kyleOoooh! 96 Kbit! Nice indeed.
17:41:27ParkerR_Nice
17:41:44EpicanisI figure 96kbit should be approximately equivalent to 128-160kbit mp3, so great for most music.
17:42:02the-kyleI would say it's the first truly general-purpose codec. Maybe not, but hey, it does sound good.
17:42:40EpicanisI think that's probably accurate - I can't think of ANY other (free OR proprietary) that doesn't have some flaw that makes it unsuitable for one major use-case or another.
17:43:00the-kyleIf comparing to mp3, 96Kbit probably compares with somewhere between 160 and 180.
17:44:20EpicanisI tend to assume Vorbis is worth one to two steps up in equivalent quality over mp3 (so 96kbit vorbis would be approximately 112-128kbit mp3 equivalent), and Opus is one to two steps beyond that, so 160-180 is probably about right.
17:44:47ParkerR_I just stick with simple mp3s XD

17:46:42EpicanisAs I've been typing, I've been listening to a just-over-9-minute bit of music encoded as 96kbit Opus (transcoded from Ogg Vorbis obtained from Jamendo, I think the original was -q5 or so, so transcoding doesn't seem to have reduced the quality noticeably).
17:47:09EpicanisThe song's just finishing up. There MAY have been a momentary pause (very short, not even sure it was "real") around the 5-minute mark, but otherwise it's played flawlessly...
17:49:23EpicanisSeems to cause some interface glitchiness (playback time updates infrequently, seems to respond slowly to some controls, and I can't figure out how to make playback actually STOP other than waiting for song to end) but it DOES actually work.
17:51:13the-kyleI'm listening to a 48 Kbit Opus file encoded from Flac ripped off an old CD, and it actually sounds much like q1 Vorbis, which encodes at ~80 Kbit usually.
17:51:49EpicanisSo in short, Opus is awesome. :-) (brb, got to run an errand...)
17:51:57the-kyleDefinitely.

17:55:32the-kyleI'm hearing some of the stereo shifting associated with low-bitrate Vorbis, but I had to go all the way down to 48k for it to be more than just a little noticeable, and its
17:55:56the-kyleand it's still mostly a minor annoyance.

18:00:16the-kyleDisclaimer: I use a framesize of 60ms when encoding at bitrates this low. It seems to improve quality, probably because of the way Opus handles vbr.

18:12:24EpicanisI figure for regular music I'll be using 96kbit, for speech (e.g. oggcasts/"pod"casts) probably 48-64kbit depending on how much I'm worried about subtle nuances of sound...
18:12:48EpicanisCan probably get decent audiobook usage all the way down to 24kbit or so, I'd guess (haven't tested yet).

21:44:43saratoga(other then needing non-power-of-two)
21:45:08saratoganaively I would think we could use our old mdct.c with the new fft for non-power of two sizes
21:45:09Buschelthat was my understand (we only having 2^n, opus not using 2^n)
21:45:46saratogamaybe derf can clarify?
21:47:05derfThere's lots of ways to factor an MDCT.
21:47:22saratogai'm a little confused by the pre/post rotation code
21:47:31saratogai've never seen it implemented like that
21:48:39derfIf you look at celt_mdct_backward() in http://people.xiph.org/~tterribe/celt/opusdec-0.006-float.tar.gz, you'll see yet another way.
21:49:30derfThe fun part of that one being that it uses an FFT kernel instead of an inverse FFT.
21:50:47saratogaevery codec i've seen has used a pair of complex multiplies
21:51:18saratogai dont' really understand why this needs a pair of them followed by multiplication by 'sin'?
21:51:24saratogasorry 'sine'
21:51:43derfNo, no, it's one complex multiply.
21:51:48derfAnd then the thing with sine.
21:52:04saratogaah i see
21:52:10saratogagetting crosseyed
21:52:30derf"sine" there is sin(PI/(8*N2))
21:52:46derfcos(PI/(8*N2)) is basically 1.
21:52:51saratogathe goal being to save the extra multiplies?

22:56:04scorche|shBagder: well, your server, at least ;)
22:56:04bootinfdsdsPersonally , I'd like to do a kickstarter icontrol-pad device for the ipod classic ( 4 games / etc).
22:56:26Bagderscorche|sh: ah true, well the other servers are also sponsored at least =)
22:56:28[Saint]scorche|sh: I see what you did there ;)
22:56:44gevaertsscorche|sh: I believe some kind soul also hosts our forums for free
22:56:50bootinfdsdsBadger, whos the sponsor ?
22:56:55scorche|shgevaerts: it isnt free for him! ;)
22:57:01Bagderbootinfdsds: Haxx and scorche

22:57:30Bagderand a few more probably that I forget just now
22:57:40*gevaerts doesn't think trying to turn rockbox into a gaming device is a good idea
22:57:43bootinfdsdsAnyone =! my kickstarter idea , or have a new one ?
22:57:48scorche|shi have taken over most of rasher's stuff
22:57:57bootinfdsds**Anyone +1 my kickstarter idea , or have a new one ?
22:58:02*[Saint] agrees with gevaerts
22:58:22[Saint]It's a great idea, I'm just not sure that more than a dozen or so other people will think so.
22:58:41[Saint]It's pretty clearly not a gaming device.
22:59:35bootinfdsdsWell, I may be wrong, but I thought it could be directly connected to a projector or HDTV .. and therefore connected to a gaming pad also ?

23:01:48gevaertsIf you want a homebuilt gaming device that's not very good, base it on a raspberry pi. *much* cheaper, direct USB ports, and more powerful altogether
23:02:15Bagderand way faster than most rockbox targets too =)
23:03:16bootinfdsdsipod more ubiquitious, though.
23:03:33Bagderreally?
23:03:39gevaertsSo are cardboard boxes
23:03:47bootinfdsdsand accepted in society.
23:03:49BagderI mean, ipods that people are prepared to run custom software on
23:03:51gevaertsThat doesn't make them into usable gaming devices
23:05:09 Quit amayer_ (Quit: going ~/)
23:06:05bootinfdsdsI think if you showed DooM or another fps/rpg video on kickstarter to show what Rockbox Can Do, would make people buy into the brand more.
23:07:15gevaertsYou can play doom on a toaster these days
23:07:30bootinfdsdsPeople just need to buy the icontrol thingy ( that is already a 1 million dollar hit on kickstarter ) and you have proper used the open-source philosophy of the rockbox project, haven't you ?
23:07:42bootinfdsds**properly
23:09:11gevaertsTricking people into investing large anmounts of money in a useless idea is open-source philosophy now?
23:09:33bootinfdsdsWhat is the price of the best 2nd hand ipod that works with rockbox these days, anyway ?
23:12:05bootinfdsdsgevaerts, Attracting a larger crowd of the cornerstone of open-source perpetuity. And you do this though crowd-sourcing/funding these days.

23:27:26saratogai don't see why you'd use an ipod for that when everyone has smartphones that can easily run doom
