03:13:08__builtinthey all *run*, just some of them aren't easily playable on super small screens
03:13:43__builtinI suppose if you follow that logic, all the game plugins would be gone on small screens...

06:46:31WineI am running rockbox on a Sansa Clip + that has a 128GB micro SD formatted to FAT32. I uninstalled rockbox, reinstalled original sansa firmware, and then reinstalled rockbox earlier today. I then reformatted the card. I then loaded a lot of music back onto the SD. Things seemed to be going well and I ran into no issues on my windows computer at work but after attempting to add more files from my Mac at home, many files will not play fr
06:48:46WineSometimes, I will open the folder for the artist and nothing will be in the folder, and other times I will open the artist then album, and will see a track list. Then if i select a track the screen will say (root) and nothing will play. Also worth noting, if I copy the same artist/album folder to the sansa internal drive there are no errors.

06:54:15WineI went through the uninstall/reinstall because this problem happend in the past and I wanted to correct it
06:55:24WineI will continue to research this issue on my own. Thank you all for the massive amount of work that has been done on rockbox, and also for the massive collection of information on it. I'm sure the solution to my problem is out there somewhere.
06:56:54WineIf I have logged off the IRC, please still reply as I will be checking the log later to see what I missed. Also, please let me know if you think my question is better for the forums where I can explain more fully. Thank you.

07:00
07:01:40Wine"from the sansa/rockbox." finished off that first message
07:03:15saratoga_is the problem only with the database or does it happen from the file browser too?
07:03:47saratoga_or was this was the file browser and not the database?

07:06:31WineThis was via file browser, but I'm pretty sure it would happen through the database as well. Testing now.
07:06:46saratoga_yeah if the file browser has the problem then the database will too
07:07:14WineOkay. Kinda thought so
07:07:21saratoga_if you look at the card on the PC are the files there and playbable?
07:07:42 Quit JdGordon (Ping timeout: 248 seconds)
07:07:55saratoga_basically, is the problem that the card isn't being recognized in rockbox, or is it that the files on the card are being corrupted somehow
07:10:02Winei believe the files are being corrupted. I have something like 10GB on the card of music that I successfully added earlier today that does play both on through rockbox and via the PC. The files that don't play on rockbox also do not play if i try to play them from the PC
07:12:57saratoga_is the card fake?

07:14:54WineUh, how do you mean fake? It's a SanDisk Ultra 128GB XC I
07:15:43saratoga_dummy card relabeled as a bigger card
07:15:53saratoga_counterfit basically
07:15:59saratoga_counterfeit
07:16:04 Quit Strife1989 (Ping timeout: 240 seconds)
07:21:29WineWell, I bought it pretty cheap on ebay a few years back and the seller is no longer on ebay so it's entirely possible. But when I formatted it it said 134GB or something like that. Also when I 'Get Info' on my Mac it says Capacity 134.17 GB
07:21:45saratoga_probably fake
07:21:55WineAny good way to check?
07:22:03saratoga_yeah check google
07:22:19saratoga_there are tools that write to the card then read it back to see if it actually stores data
07:22:40saratoga_usually those fakes are a much smaller card programmed to look like a bigger one
07:24:20 Quit JdGordon_ (Ping timeout: 240 seconds)
07:24:58WineOkay, thank you very much. This sounds very possible. One thing that makes me think that is the first few albums I coppied when I got home worked fine then in the middle of coppying a 7 disk compilation the first few worked then the remaining did not and nothing after that worked.
07:26:28saratoga_it'll work fine until you exceed however much memory is actually in the card
07:26:32saratoga_if its fake
07:28:31WineDo you think the fact that it's telling me 134.17GB when I look at the drive on my PC but has '128GB' printed on it is suspicious?

12:43:25copperSo, my second-hand iPod Mini was delivered to me, and of course the battery is completely drained. When I try to turn it on, it goes into a boot loop that doesn't go past the Apple logo showing for a couple of seconds.
12:44:06copperI plugged it into a wall socket and I somehow got the iPod to show the empty battery icon without interruption.
12:44:13copperMy question is, is it charging right now?

13:20:48gevaertsThat would be a *good* battery!
13:20:52copperlol
13:21:08BilgusI doubt it was engineered to make the buttons fail if it had a cf card but more like we can make this $0.030 cheaper by using the drive as the backer for the button pad

13:27:05gevaertsThe main advantage in the mini is that a flash mod is fairly trivial, so I'd definitely recommend that
13:27:22gevaertsAnd *if* you do that, you'll have it open anyway, so I'd replace the battery as well

15:03:35copperThis is so fucked up, I could never have guessed that I would need a firewire cable when the USB cable charges the iPod just fine
15:04:09copperthe only kit I can find on eBay costs more than what I paid for the iPod Mini
15:05:23Bilguswhy doesn't that surprise me
15:08:50gevaertsIIRC there might be a way to bypass this
15:09:11gevaertsBut it's been *years*...
15:09:56coppergevaerts: how?
15:14:50gevaertsoh
15:15:40*gevaerts finds indications that this requirement was removed in newer firmware, which would mean that the way to bypass it would be to update the firmware...
15:16:06copperupdating the firmware is what got the iPod Mini stuck in this state
15:16:11gevaertsHmmm, do you have an Apple store nearby?
15:16:32gevaertsYes, I know
15:16:46copperAn official Apple repair shop, called them already, they don't have what I need
15:17:11copperI'm not surprised, this is 2004 tech
15:17:19gevaertsThe reason I thought it could be bypassed is that I don't have a firewire charger, and I never got stuck
15:17:38gevaertsBut apparently it's possible I just got lucky and had recent enough firmware

16:11:15copperhmmm
16:11:50copperaccording to THAT guy, it's the voltage that's too low
16:13:44copperAll my adapters deliver 5V, and the mini would need 12V
16:13:57copperI wonder if I can buy such an adapter easily?
16:14:29gevaertsCareful there
16:14:40gevaertsYou'd need 12V, but not on the same pins!
16:15:50gevaertsWhich basically means an ipod firewire cable+charger
16:17:22copperI don't understand?
16:19:19gevaertsThe ipod connector has 5V pins and 12V pins. They aren't the same
16:19:36copperthe 30 pin connector on the iPod's end?
16:19:39gevaertsYes
16:19:48Bilgusman putting too much voltage sound scary, I think he's saying firewire puts out 12v on diggerent pins

19:38:35johnb4Bilgus: Saving was quite significant. Mihail mainly drove the freq. and voltage scaling, I ran lots of benchmarks, as I used to have v1 & V2 Fuzes and clip+ variants.
19:39:30johnb4some of it is recorded in http://forums.rockbox.org/index.php/topic,51616.0.html
19:46:42BilgusI guess we start raising it when people have issues but some of this is probably leading to drive corruption when it crashes at that exact wrong time

19:49:47johnb4I thought of a persistent setting in debug, to bump up the voltage for those devices that seem to be more flimsy, keep the lower ones as default. Or the other way round.
19:50:33Bilgusyeah I thought of the same thing but I kinda circled back around to if the margin is that close all devices should probably be running it

20:30:06Bilgusthats just the lower clock of the internal memory though it should be pretty much the same as a non-highspeed SD card
20:30:16johnb4I thought of applying the i2c patch, so I have a reference for the benchmark, before updating to the latest patches.
