20:33:20saratogalebellium: all car adapter mode does is turn off the player when power is disconnected, without it the device will keep playing until the battery is dead
20:33:42gevaertsNot entirely
20:33:48gevaertsIt pauses playback
20:33:56gevaertsYou still need the idle poweroff setting
20:37:36coppercar adapter = powered dock?
20:37:42lebelliumso if I use my player in aux in without USB in my car, it doesn nothing?
20:38:37gevaertslebellium: if by "without USB" you mean "without power", correct
20:38:50lebelliumok
20:39:00gevaertscopper: not necessarily. It's just the name of a setting, really
20:40:02coppergevaerts: well, in which cases does it get used?
20:40:19gevaertscopper: the only limit is your imagination! :)
20:40:24copperlol
20:40:30copperNot the answer I expected.
20:40:39gevaertsI mean, I use it in the car, but I don't use a dock strictly speaking, just a power cable
20:41:10gevaertsAnd a few days ago someone on the forums wanted this vintage radio thing where it would come in handy
20:41:18saratogayeah it uses the idle poweroff, but the idea is the same
20:41:27coppergevaerts: let me put it this way: if I ever buy an iPod "dock" (boombox for iPods), should I turn on the car adapter setting?
20:41:27saratogaso long as you don't disable the idle power off
20:42:10gevaertscopper: I have no idea. Do you need the device to stop playing when power is cut? If so, yes
20:42:26saratogaFWIW, the manual has a pretty clear description of the feature: http://download.rockbox.org/daily/manual/rockbox-sansaclip/rockbox-buildch8.html#x11-1390008.5.3
20:42:36saratogaalthough i'm pretty sure i wrote that so i might be biased
20:43:02coppermmm-kay
20:43:42coppersaratoga: ay, good
20:43:45copperaye*
20:43:58copperso that would be a "Yes" to my question
20:44:28coppererm
20:44:37coppermaybe it should be renamed to "powered dock"
20:44:56copperbecause that's what it really is
20:45:12gevaertsAgain, I use it without a dock
20:48:32coppererm
20:48:46copperpowered LOD?
20:48:57copperMeh.
20:49:09gevaertsAgain, no. It's a power cable :)
20:49:47copperExternal Power Mode?
20:50:16copper"Car Adapter" sounds restrictive
20:50:28gevaertsSeriously though, whatever name it gets, it will confuse some (or all) of those who don't read about it in the manual, and renaming will cause confusion
20:50:37copperand I suspect users wouldn't think of enabling it in situations where it's pertinent, but doesn't involve a car
20:51:02gevaertsOK, so if someone tells you there is an~ "External Power Mode" without further information, would you be able to say what it does?
20:51:20copper"pauses when external power cuts off"
20:51:47*gevaerts doesn't believe copper
20:51:57copperer
20:52:03copperI misread your question
20:52:11tertui had honestly no idea what car adapter mode did
20:52:30copperI would say, "does something special when the iPod is externally powered"
20:52:52gevaertsThe thing is, it doesn't do that :)
20:53:07gevaertsIt does nothing at all as long as the player is externally powered
20:53:37copperit does
20:53:42copperit pauses when power cuts off?
20:53:54tertu"Pause on External Power Loss"?
20:54:12copperanyway
20:54:12*gevaerts doesn't like changing names for the sake of it
20:54:15copperI made my point
20:54:34copperthanks for the information though
20:57:22tertuis there a list of devices that are known to work with iPods running rockbox?
20:58:05copperany device that accepts PCM output from the LOD

20:58:32copper?
20:58:38coppersame deal with the Classic
20:58:45tertuOkay.
20:58:47copper(Rockbox runs on the Classic too)
20:59:11gevaertsThere's no IAP support on the classic though
20:59:17gevaertsSo not exactly the same deal
20:59:49copperwhat's IAP?
20:59:57copperexternal control?
21:00
21:02:50tertui think so, the iPod dock that I found in my house that worked still didn't let me pause or play
21:10:46saratogai use car adapter mode on my clip which doesn't even have line out :)
21:11:43copperhow do you power the clip?
21:11:43saratogaiap = ipod accessory protocol
21:11:46copperer
21:11:54copperokay
21:12:03saratogaUSB connector for power, headphone out to the stereo line in
21:12:48saratogai have so many clips i just have one permanently in the car
21:13:51saratogaeverywhere i look in Opus I see optimizations it needs that I did 6+ years ago for WMA
21:15:38saratogai started writing the FFT in assembly but its a lot harder than i thought it would be
21:15:47saratogai see easier optimizations if anyone is bored over the holidays :)
21:37:14 Quit kugel (Ping timeout: 252 seconds)
21:40:46coppersaratoga: are those optimizations so generic, that a general (audio) purpose library could be written?
21:41:16saratogacopper: they're stuff thats generic in most codecs, but that need to be adapted to opus because its a bit strange
21:41:43saratogafor WMA/AAC/Vorbis/WMAPRO/AC3 we just shared this stuff between all the codecs
21:41:49saratogabut it needs adapting for vorbis
21:41:52saratogaerr opus
21:42:29copperjust wondering if you could offer those optimizations to codec authors and avoid having to do the same work all over again with every codec
21:42:44copper(not that I expect many more codecs to be invented in the foreseable future)
21:43:14saratogayeah for the most part we share stuff whenever possible
21:43:26saratogaactually this same stuff should be updated for the other codecs now that we have newer arm cores
21:43:37copperie, more work!
21:43:42saratogayeah
21:43:53saratogaand its hard to get motivated enough to take WMA from 20 MHz to 15 MHz
21:43:58copperlol
21:44:07copperwho uses WMA anymore?
21:44:09saratogawe're so fast it barely matters
21:44:21copperall the WMA stores have gone
21:44:27saratogawell it'd be the same couple MHz different on AAC, Vorbis, etc
21:45:00saratogaactually i'm so close to finishing the MP3 rewrite from 3 years ago, i should probably finish that
21:45:03saratogapeople still use mp3
21:45:11copperthey do
21:45:15saratogai got 90% of the way done and then got busy
21:45:41saratogaand i looked at the Android MP3 decoder and they use almost the same trick, so i think its probably quite good
21:46:13saratogabut speeding up opus would be nice so that more people use it
21:46:26copperI know some people are interested
21:46:49copperits low(ish) bitrate performance is impressive enough
21:47:04saratogayeah, seems like a good all around MP3/AAC replacement
21:47:29saratogaalthough i think mp3 patents expired this month, at least in the USA, so maybe people will just use that forever
21:48:59 Part Guest86542
21:49:39lonoxmontof course this assumes some dumbshit doesnt manage to ram through a copyright on it
21:49:49lonoxmontin the us, copyright is essentially eternal
21:50:05saratogain the US you can't copyright algorithms, only implementations, so thats fine here
21:50:18saratogaso you can copyright the rockbxo mp3 decoder, but anyone can look at the math and write their own
21:50:19lonoxmontin theory its limited, but with disney pushing through another mickey mouse protection act every time the limit gets close
21:51:01lonoxmonthuh, didnt know that
21:51:06lonoxmontneat
21:51:12lonoxmontat least they c ant take that awya from us
21:51:15lonoxmontnot yet
21:51:17saratogaactually in the US, copyright is fairly limited with respect to software, even things composed of code like interfaces and headers generally cannot be copyrighted, let alone ideas like algorithms or formats
21:51:42saratogaso for instance someone can take our plugins.h file and probably change the license to whatever they want and we can't stop them
21:52:16saratogasince its just effectively a functional table of numbers, and not an expression of creativity
21:53:04saratoga(due to some old rulings from the 1800s about how tables of data like phone books and library indexes cannot be copyrighted)
21:53:38saratogawhich has some logic to it, sinec the US has strong patents, you want to make sure the two domains don't overlap
21:54:32lonoxmontmm, true
21:56:18saratogaderf: can you tell me how transform size decisions are made in Opus, and what restrictions exist?
21:56:37saratogafor example, the files I have only have 2 transform sizes, is that a hard limit of 2 per file, or can more sizes be used?

22:27:05derfThe encoder has a setting for frame size, which decides the length of the long transform.

22:27:21derfThere's more advanced code to do adaptive frame size decisions.
