08:49:09[Saint]TheSeven: copper: (logs) - Have either of you noticed that the Classic makes you wait several seconds until the disc is no longer being accessed after boot before you can use the UI?
08:49:49[Saint]My Color (the one with an HDD), doesn't suffer the same fate, and has a much slower disc.
08:50:31[Saint]I reverted my 'revert-UI-boost' changes, just to make sure I wasn't causing the UI hang at boot, and I'm not.
08:50:41[Saint]Apparently its something I've only just noticed?
08:52:30[Saint]Oh - yay, now I try reproduce it on-demand it doesn't do it :)
08:53:34[Saint]It seems to be like the scroll wheel "sticks" or lags, until the initial I/O is done, then it suddenly catches up. It happens about 50% of the time.
08:55:12[Saint]I just checked - my other Classics do it too. Hum.

13:14:35TheSevenwodz: pong
13:15:45TheSevenkugel: libusb needs to be signed in order to work on 64bit windows, and all signed versions that I found so far are buggy in some way. I think the way to go is libusb wrapping winusb...
13:16:15wodzTheSeven: Have you noticed that when hiting brakepoint IDA reads some memory regions not specified in mem segments (remote gdb debugging)?
13:16:28TheSeven[Saint]: no, I haven't noticed that, however I haven't really used my classic in years...
13:17:35TheSevencould be database/dircache still building up, and the UI lagging because it needs to load font chars and has to compete for disk access
13:18:18TheSevenwodz: yes, I've seen that trigger a bunch of data aborts, but it seems to be harmless (so far)
13:18:58wodzTheSeven: unless you run code in emulator with incomplete regs coverage :-)
13:19:34wodzTheSeven: this is potentially harmful as it reads io mem region which can clean flags in random regs
13:20:22TheSeventhe reads seemed to always hit the same addresses for me

13:37:06pamauryyes but that's not very useful in practice: if you have code at address 0 then it will frequently misinterpret small values for pointers

14:44:51[Saint]not all targets have the same range.

14:47:13[Saint]its an at a glance measure. it needn't offer extreme resolution.
14:48:27copperit can't even provide that
14:48:32copperfor the reasons above
14:48:54[Saint]its useful for displaying mute and line level states, which it can do trivially.
14:49:01[Saint]if the author is sane.
14:52:44[Saint]what you're forgetting is average Joe doesn't care a flying fuck about the dB value.
14:53:06copperWhat do you mean? Not everyone has OCD? ;)
14:53:28[Saint]they want to know if it'll clip, and have a representation of "the volume I like is about there on this thing".
14:58:56[Saint]a lot of themes will have a simple bar with N sections, and the user learns to remember "the volume I like is about yay far up the bar" .

15:42:51amayercopper: the same can be said about the graphic progress bar which is implemented in almost every theme. they offer very little acuracy but are just a quick representation of where you are in the current track.
15:51:11copperuh?
15:51:25copperthe progress bar is a lot more accurate, because it's 10 times larger, or more
15:51:55 Quit akaWolf (Read error: Operation timed out)
15:53:31copperwith the volume indicator, you have maybe 10-20 pixels to represent a range of 72dB or more, while the user will only use a range of about 12dB
15:54:35Kohlrabicopper: I don't evn look at the numbers, I just press "down" if it's too loud until it's no longer
15:54:55Kohlrabi"too loud" depends on environment, mood, time of day etc.
15:55:10copperI do look at the number, if only to avoid gradually increasing volume until I get permanent hearing damage
15:55:18copperI'm always tempted to increase volume just a bit
15:55:27Kohlrabiwhy tf should I (or anyone) care about the exact number, unless doing measurements for something

15:56:10copperI'm not near YET
15:56:29copperthe point is, if I don't look, I could reach damaging levels over the course of a year or whatever
15:57:06copperI want to force myself NOT to increase volume
15:57:07Kohlrabiyou can still look at the number instead of the bar if you're that OCD
15:57:38KohlrabivOv
15:57:47KohlrabiI never thought the volume indicator to be problematic
15:57:53copperit's not OCD if the graphical representation is so bloody small that I can't tell the difference in a 12dB range or more
15:58:10Kohlrabiit's not INTENDED to be used for exact control down to single dBs
15:58:50Zagorin my day we had an option to enable numeric volume indicator.
15:58:50copperthe theme code for representing volume can be arbitrary
15:58:55Zagorand get off my lawn!
15:58:58KohlrabiZagor: My theme has one
15:58:58Torneabout the only thing a graphical volume bar is useful for is to realise why pressing volume up doesn't make it any louder
15:59:01Torne:)
15:59:09Torne"volume is at max" is about the only information it can usefully communicate
15:59:10copperso, I could set the range to the actual range that I use, but then that wouldn't work for other people
15:59:16Tornewell, volume is at max or not at max. ;)
16:00
16:00:35copperit also wouldn't work if I changed headphones, or plugged the DAP into a line-in
16:01:09Tornecopper: i think your problem here is you're expecting people to prefer things that are actually useful ;)

16:04:33coppervolume is probably the most variable metric
16:05:54copperbattery level is more or less similarly problematic
16:06:08copperhaving 100%, 75%, 50%, 25% indicators is nice

16:06:24copperbut what happens below 25%? You don't know if you have 4 hours left, or 5 minutes
16:07:18copperI guess you could add colors for extra precision
16:07:47copperbut colors are also problematic when the background isn't neutral (black or white)
16:07:56copperwell, any shade of gray
16:08:27copperthat's why I've never bothered with graphical volume and battery indicators
16:08:44copperthey're more or less useless, and numbers are a lot more useful
16:09:37copperunless I could come up with a design that allows for horizontal or vertical bars that would take up the entire width or height
16:09:47Tornebattery you *could* represent reasonably if you were willing to have a log scale. :)
16:10:02Tornebut normal human beings would just misinterpret that 100% of the time
16:15:41amayerhas anyone ever gotten IAP to work on iClassic?
16:16:10amayerthe last time i tried it looked like only stable devices had it enabled
16:20:59Tornei don't think it's anything to dow ith stable or not
16:21:06TorneIAP depends on us having a serial driver for the accessory serial port
16:21:24Torneand the classic's hardware is different, so do we even have a driver for that?
16:28:03amayer*shrugs* TheSeven do you know if we have a serial driver for the iClassic?
16:36:27TheSevenamayer: yes, we do
16:36:36TheSevennot sure if we have one in rockbox, but emcore has one
16:36:45TheSevenand it's mostly trivial
16:36:52amayersweet!
16:37:18TheSeventhe reason why we don't have IAP is because the IAP highlevel logic is weirdly intertwined with the portalplayer serial port driver
16:37:33TheSevenor at least it used to be back when I considered implementing it
16:37:48TheSevenbertrik attempted to clean up that mess at some point, but I'm not sure if that project was ever finished

18:26:18The_VoleDoes anyone in here know whether using FAT32-formatted microSDXC cards with a volume size of over 32 GB can cause problems with RockBox on the Sansa Clip+ ?
18:29:35relawasnt there a 32gb limit to the clip series?
18:29:57The_VoleI´m not sure, that´s why I´m asking :/
18:30:32The_VoleI´ve used a 32gb HC card before, that worked fine, but I never went over that capacity
18:30:57The_VoleI know microSDHC host devices like the Clip+ can theoretically use microSDXC cards when you format the XC card with a fat32 filesystem
18:31:02relai too have a 32gb in a clip zip. no problems there. i have seen forum posts of ppl using bigger cards
18:31:22relabut isnt it cheaper to just buy 2 or more 32gb sdhc cards? :)
18:31:57gevaertsThe_Vole: should work fine
18:33:14relanow the pros are here
18:33:33The_Volerela: I´m lazy, I don´t want to change cards too much, besides, microSD cards are so small I can easily lose them :)
18:33:41relai agree
18:33:55relaprice does not always matter
18:36:00The_Volegevaerts: there´s no special size limit?
18:36:05gevaertsNo
18:36:15reladamn it
18:36:24relanow i have to buy a 64gb card too... just because it works
18:36:31The_Vole:)
18:36:47The_Volealright, thanks for the help
18:37:33*TheSeven always considered it odd for the people behind SD to just bump the limit from 2 to 32GB when introducing SDHC... seemed kinda short-sighted
18:37:58TheSevenbut considering microsoft's artificial 50GB FAT32 limit it might make some sense
18:38:34The_Volefat32´s actual limit is around 2TB, right?
18:41:24TheSevendepends on the sector size, but for the common value of 512 bytes it would be 2TB
18:42:27The_Voleconsidering that artificial limit: can I even create/format 50GB+ fat32 volumes using Windows 7?
18:42:30TheSevenmight actually be up to 8TB with a 64 bit implementation
18:42:37The_VoleexFAT?
18:43:02TheSeven16TB with 32bit implementation on an advanced format (4K sectors) drive
18:43:19The_Voleah
18:44:09TheSevenI don't think you can create them with the shipped utilities
18:44:18TheSevenbut you can using 3rd party tools
18:44:19TorneThe_Vole: MS artificially limit *formatting* volumes as FAT32 at 32GB, but it will access larger ones just fine
18:44:32Torneyou just need to use a different format program
18:45:05The_Voleah, MS´s formatting tool just doesn´t allow it
18:46:47The_Volealright, so I just have to use a different formatting tool to format a 64gb card to contain a fat32 volume, and it should work with a Clip+?
18:49:00TheSevenyes
18:49:00The_Volealrighty then, thanks for the help, people :)

20:40:15kugelTheSeven: what makes you think you need a kernel driver portion; the official libsub-win32 wiki also suggests its not needed
20:41:03kugelhm, wait, the 2nd sentence suggests otherwise
20:41:37kugelbut the kernel portion is provided by libsub *and* is signed (" Vista/7/2008/2008R2 64 bit are supported from version 1.2.0.0 since a Microsoft KMCS accepted digital signature is embedded in the kernel driver libusb0.sys.")

20:46:53SovonHalderCopper: I read all the comments. I prefer colored icons
20:49:44SovonHalderCopper: Jeez. I thought I was gonna sound crazy if I said that. S I didn't say it. I tried connecting-disconneccting several times while on your theme. If I turn on->then wait for HDD to be incative->then plug in, it's A okay. nothing wrong here. however if I turn on the iPod after connecting usb plug, issues occurs.
20:51:08SovonHalderso, is this the normal iPod/rockbox maintainance rule/method here to connect after turning on ?

20:51:52TheSevenkugel: the problem is that you need to install that libusb-provided kernel driver, which wasn't signed at all back in the old days
20:52:18kugelbut it is now
20:52:19TheSevenand that driver also used to be quite buggy, causing bluescreens, preventing the system from entering sleep mode, ...
20:53:24TheSevenand, unless you install it as a filter driver, which opens up yet another can of worms, it will conflict with itunes' driver, so you have to forcibly override that, which will prevent itunes from restoring the ipod if it is ever needed
20:53:47copperSovonHalder: yes
20:54:37TheSevenwe've tried to implement that over at freemyipod, and got lots of complaining people
20:54:46TheSevenpiggybacking on itunes turned out to be much more reliable
20:57:40SovonHalderCopper: I know it's experience based. The more you use, the more you come to know about it. But is there any guide/tutorial/wiki/manual on such tiny but important & helpful facts on regulations of iPod on rockbox?
20:59:45coppernot really, mostly because no-one's really identified what exactly causes such bugs
20:59:53copperso there is no definitive solution

22:49:02madcat1990or is it something known?
22:55:07TheSevenmadcat1990: could be related to some troble that we have on the ipod nano 2g
22:55:12TheSevenwhich has the same usb "chipset"
