01:52:40chrisjjHmmm... I cant find the Creative Zen X-Fi3 in the current RButil, V1.3.1. Is it just me?
01:56:25[Saint]That would be intentional.
01:57:06[Saint]AFAIK the only unusable target that appears there is the Classic, and I'm not too fond of that to be honest.

01:58:01[Saint]It seems wrong to offer a way to update Rockbox on a target where installation is totally unsupported. But, mah.

02:17:48[Saint]Well..you'll also notice that you don't have "Show disabled targets" checked.
02:18:11chrisjj:) Thanks.
02:26:39chrisjjDoes Rockbox Utility have a designated maintainer? None is mentioned in docs/MAINTAINERS.

02:39:17[Saint]I'm unsure of what you think needs attention.
02:39:50chrisjjMAINTAINERS.
02:40:28[Saint]There's nothing stopping you from adding it.
02:40:42chrisjjSure about that?
02:40:52[Saint]Absolutely.
02:42:41chrisjjThanks. I see so many amends that apparently all the Devs have been apparently stopped from making, that I wonder.
02:43:44chrisjjbluebrother: If you're around, you might like to know the "Read the manual" links for Archos Jukebox Recorder v2 (20GB) are broken.
02:44:27[Saint]I mean this in the nicest possible way, but, sometimes, most of the time, I have no idea what you're talking about. Or if you do.
02:45:45chrisjjIf you try those links, you'll know what I mean.
02:46:12[Saint]I'm not talking about that. I mean all these devs that have apparently been shut down.
02:46:26[Saint]That's flatly untrue.
02:48:20chrisjjOK, I guess they all have better things to do that e.g. maintain MAINTAiNERS.
02:50:39 Quit nosa-j (Ping timeout: 245 seconds)
02:52:27chrisjjBTW, are archived Rockbox Manual builds available anywhere? I find see the archived code builds, but not any Manual builds.
02:53:15 Join nosa-j [0] (~m00k@66.233.224.206)
02:54:31[Saint]I don't think so.
02:54:36[Saint]I doubt it makes much sense.
02:55:16[Saint]The manual very rarely changes. Not enough that it makes sense to offer ~3 archived builds. ~99% of the time they'd be identical.
03:00
03:01:10chrisjj" don't think so." OK, thanks.
03:01:46chrisjj" ~99% of the time they'd be identical." Not if they were the last three changed versions. :)
03:03:06[Saint]Those archived builds are provided purely for convenience. The general view is that if you want a specific version, you'll build it.
03:05:24[Saint]There are very rarely ever cases where there will be a change which means a new manual will no longer apply to an older build. Very rarely.
03:05:54[Saint]Worst usual case is that the new manual will simply list features the old one doesn't. The rest should still apply.
03:07:24[Saint]unless you're talking about extreme cases where either the manual or the binary is /drastically/ older than the other, it shouldn't be an issue.

09:30:10lolcats_yo, recently i installed rockbox on a 6th gen ipod, however when i first boot into rockbox i receive the message "loading rockbox.ipod failed! trying fallback image..." .
09:30:38lolcats_as such i can put media onto the device but when i try to play anything it does not work
09:30:54lolcats_anyone else have this issue? any imput would help thanks
09:31:16[Saint]That just means you didn't follow the instructions through and forgot the actually load a Rockbox binary onto the device.
09:31:35[Saint]*to actually
09:32:04lolcats_the rockbox.ipod and rockbox files are on the device

09:32:10lolcats_should i just start fromt he beginning?
09:32:11[Saint]http://build.rockbox.org/data/rockbox-ipod6g.zip <−− extract this .zip to the root of the device
09:32:27[Saint]Oh. Hmmm. I see.
09:32:55[Saint]That points to the filesystem being corrupt then, one guesses.
09:34:31lolcats_k extracting that zip to the root. ill let you know if it fixws it
09:34:34lolcats_fixes*
09:35:26[Saint]Sorry, my answer was a little hasty (the symptom you described is a regular user error).
09:35:47[Saint]If the files are actually there, then, that changes things.
09:36:17lolcats_i just replaced them with the files from the link you provided and everything is fine now.
09:36:21lolcats_you are a wizard sir.
09:36:52[Saint]You should still inspect the filesystem, otherwise there's every chance this may continue to happen.
09:37:18[Saint]And it might choose to chew up and spit out data you care about next time.
09:37:32[Saint]("it" being "the filesystem corruption goblin")
09:37:43[Saint]{they're very real...}
09:38:08lolcats_ill be on guard

17:42:47lebelliumpamaury is
17:44:10SzczepancioI know that pamaury is an dev :)
17:44:23lebelliumSo why do you ask me? :)
17:44:38SzczepancioBecause pamaury said you is interested in keymapping.
17:44:57SzczepancioI thinked that you did something or so.
17:45:05SzczepancioI was thinking*
17:45:16lebelliumYes I reworked the keymapping as I already told you last time
17:45:36SzczepancioBut no plugin mapping, yup?
17:45:40SzczepancioDo you have an e370?
17:45:47lebelliumand as I also told you last time I'm not interested in doing the plugins keymapping
17:45:54lebelliumI have a E360
17:46:03SzczepancioBut I was thinking you made a change :) But you didn't.
17:46:31SzczepancioIt's not bad at all.
17:47:37lebelliumAs pamaury is working on dozens of targets at the same time, I don't believe he will work on the NWZ plugins keymapping anytime soon. If you want it done, you should consider doing it yourself!
17:47:54SzczepancioI can it make done, but on e470. But no hack avalibe.
17:48:24SzczepancioI can done it on e370 too, but I am too no interested it in.
17:51:29lebelliumE470 may have raw nand like E440, which makes the port difficult. Pamaury is trying to reverse the FTL but no luck so far
17:52:39SzczepancioWhat is FTL?
17:53:25lebelliumI guess Flash Translation Layer?
17:53:31lebelliumNot sure though

20:57:19[Saint]or, I could look up what DMM is... ;)
20:57:59*[Saint] admits to never having heard it referred to in that way before
20:58:49pamauryfirst I need to find a culprit cable and cut it ^^

20:59:54saratogai would order both together

21:00:18[Saint]Whoah, expensive.
21:00:48[Saint]I can make up cables for about $0.80NZD/m
21:01:07[Saint]but I guess it depends what your time and effort is worth too...
21:01:16saratogaalternatively, if you an ADC of some kind that is DC coupled you can make your own

21:16:52*pamaury does not know what DC coupled mean
21:17:17[Saint]saratoga: is there anything interesting to cram back into our sources from Opus?
21:17:29[Saint]Or is it mostly needless (to us) cruft?
21:17:39saratogapamaury: able to measure a DC voltage
21:17:58saratogamost audio ADCs have a capacitor, so they can only measure 20Hz and up
21:18:39saratoga[Saint]: i don't know, but the tests I did before suggests something like 70% of the runtime was just hte transform step, and it doesn't look liek much has changed there
21:21:43pamaurysaratoga: does a circuit with a resistor in series with vddd and an adc to measure the voltage drop accross with <insert random arduino/arm board with ADC> provides reliable measurements ?
21:21:59[Saint]I have played with it briefly on the raspi, but, the analogue out on it is just *sooooo* shit.
21:22:17saratogapamaury: yes, although the votlage drop will be relatively small so you might need an opamp too
21:22:29[Saint]And its too much effort to swap around the inputs on my amp.
21:22:44saratogaalthough i guess if the A/D isn't bad you might be ok
21:23:00[Saint]HDMI audio is superb, but, the analogue out is awful. Rather sad really.
21:23:06pamaurythe best I have is 12-bit adc on my stellaris board I think
21:23:22saratogathe voltage drop across the shunt resistor drops the voltage to the player, so you probably don't want to have more than a few hundred millivolts to measure

22:24:27[Saint]You do seem to be "codec guy", after all.
22:25:00[Saint]...which is probably why it sat there for so long, few willing to touch it in case it unleashed demons.

22:27:48[Saint]I haven't seen JhMikes around for a while.
22:28:11[Saint]Last I saw of him he dropped a *massive* FAT rework on gerrit and basically disappeared.
22:28:31[Saint]I really should get that compiling again.
22:28:49saratoga_he comes and goes, usually with a gigantic patch
22:28:57saratoga_been doing that since before i was here
22:29:14saratoga_of course now that I commit i notice this: "Max number of samples to delay960 output (960 = 5ms @ 192 kHz)"
22:29:17[Saint]In my experience, that seems to be the guy's style. A bit of a lone wolf. Come in, drop a massive rework on us, and disappear quietly until next time.
22:30:20saratoga_ah no, the comment is misleading, much larger delays are allowed
22:30:44[Saint]where are we?
22:30:48[Saint]Oh. Ah. yes.
22:31:07saratoga_[Saint]: can you try the compressor with the maximum attack time?
22:31:18saratoga_and the sample rate set to 48khz
22:31:53saratoga_48khz times 30 milliseconds is 1440 samples, but the buffer is less than that
22:32:21 Join lorenzo92 [0] (~chatzilla@host7-104-dynamic.11-79-r.retail.telecomitalia.it)
22:32:56saratoga_ah theres a check for this case, so it simply caps you at the maximum delay allowed for your sampling rate
22:34:16[Saint]There's a tiny bit of initial lag in the fallback (due to the peak meters I believe), but, all is well.
22:34:37[Saint]48kHz content, -3dB threshold, maximum attack time.
22:34:57[Saint](320mp3 CBR)
22:35:06[Saint]...on PP.
22:35:36saratoga_the buffer is only long enough for 21 milliseconds of history at 44.1k, i wonder why the setting goes to 30 ms
22:36:09[Saint]SO, do we increase the allowable buffer, or decrease the allowable attack time?
22:37:15*[Saint] apologizes for not catching this
22:37:28[Saint]I have a massive case of the guilts right now.
22:38:04[Saint]...but, if JhMikes didn't, I guess I can rest a bit easier.
22:38:27saratoga_i'm not sure
22:38:54saratoga_i think it actually does change things if you set the delay longer than the buffer
22:39:07saratoga_i don't fully understand the algorithm here
22:39:08lebellium[Saint] saratoga http://www.rockbox.org/irc/log-20131120 look for "Narod"
22:39:51saratoga_i'm tempted to cap the compressor at 25 milliseconds just because it'll be less unpredictable
22:40:23[Saint]lebellium: Hmmmm...odd.
22:40:49[Saint]I can't speak for that user, but, I can say that I am currently testing one of the worst possible cases for this, and, its absolutely fine here.
22:41:17saratoga_yeah i think it works fine, i just suspect that 25 and 30 ms do essentially the same thing
22:41:45saratoga_actually the buffer is exactly 20 ms at 48k, so that might be a sensible maximum
22:41:46[Saint]compressor+3 bands of EQ with 48kHz content...on 80MHz PP
22:42:07[Saint]I would expect that to show any failure cases or lag, were it going to.
22:42:57saratoga_in this case it doesn't fail, the code checks for out of bounds, its just misleading since it'll adjust the gain but not actually look further than abotu 20-22 ms
22:43:06saratoga_not sure how that sounds
22:43:29[Saint]If that's the case, then we should cap the attack lookahead.
22:44:00[Saint]Well...that's my feeling, but if you have a better solution.

22:54:11[Saint]I have a few PP targets to test on here, and they certainly _should_ show these types of issues, were they going to happen. There's very little room for DSP effects on these targets.
22:54:46lebellium[Saint] even though it's a new port, it's close to Fuze+ with a STMP3780 so I don't see why there would be any issue on NWZ
