11:48:50speachysurprising amoutn of size variations, huh.
11:50:57_bilgus_did you add lang entries to the aigoerosq
11:51:40_bilgus_the name looks like a foreign lang btw
11:52:21speachyno, but those targets do see large-ish size swings from builder to builder.
11:54:30speachymendel_munkis: IIRC older texlive distributions barfed with the \ipdfoutput -> \Ipdfoutput change.
11:55:14speachyif we need to enforce a specific texlive version to keep the builds from barfing, that can be done.
12:00
12:02:34speachy_bilgus_: looks like a proper fix for the usb prompt UI is called for; I enlarged the stack size as a hopeful hack.
12:03:35_bilgus_can you elaborate on that a bit? you mean the out of band call to the prompt?
12:03:57speachyyeah, reports of stack overflows on clipzip and ipodclassic
12:05:17speachyI _think_ the reports were prior to my most recent bugfix to fix the defaults to be consistent (ie not prompt by default)
12:05:46_bilgus_mmm yeah saving all that context is exceeding their limits
12:06:30_bilgus_ok I'll take a look and decide if its getting its own or if it will become a mechanism
12:06:59_bilgus_depends on what else might be able to share
12:07:04mendel_munkisyes. but the hwcodec stuff shouldn't require that

12:40:09mendel_munkisthanks
12:41:45mendel_munkiswhy did you chose 0xBA5EFAC7?
12:44:04speachybraewoods: pamaury's old mtp patch had a full menu, instead of my hacked yesno thing, but yeah, once there's more options then a proper menu will be needed.
12:44:26speachy(maybe one day expanding to USB DAC support too..)
12:46:41_bilgus_it just seemed unlikely to be used
12:47:23_bilgus_cafebabe deadbeef and a few others are already used in the code so it makes it easy to know I'm looking at something lua touched
12:47:41mendel_munkismakes sense
12:48:43_bilgus_I also got a initial count of zero the first time I ran it through (before I started filling the buffer with the byte string)
12:49:15_bilgus_you know just to be sure it wasn't used in the code extensively (unlikely)
12:49:37_bilgus_not that it can't happen but it shouldnt be much error if so
12:53:50braewoodsspeachy: you mean exposing a usb audio device when connected to a host PC or so?
12:53:57speachybraewoods: yeah
12:54:11braewoodsfor what purpose? streaming to the PC or from it?
12:54:35speachysince this is all fantasizing, either/both!
12:54:44braewoodsi see.
12:54:59braewoodswell it might be possible in software
12:55:02speachyuse of standard external USB audio class devices, and also acting as one
12:55:07braewoodsif USB 1.1 is fast enough for audio?
12:55:14speachyUSB1.1 is plenty fast
12:55:37speachyat least for standard 16-bit 48K audio
12:56:11braewoodsi'll stick to MTP for now. i think audio processing would require special experience I do not have.
12:56:16braewoodslol
12:56:40braewoodsanyway
12:56:55braewoodsi'll see what i can do there. it'll be awhile before i have anything to show off.
12:57:15braewoodsi need to do a lot of research on USB and how rockbox does it and all
12:57:36 Join lebellium [0] (~lebellium@89-92-69-66.hfc.dyn.abo.bbox.fr)
12:57:38gevaertsUSB DAC would be a lot of fun to have. I suspect not all devices might be able to do it, but still
12:57:42braewoodsthough if you only have USB 1.1 i don't think MTP will be of much interest
12:57:57braewoodseven if you could do i
12:57:58braewoodsit
12:58:27*gevaerts points out that all USB 1.1 speeds also exist in USB 2.0 :)
12:58:35braewoodsindeed
12:59:05gevaertsAlso, I think all devices rockbox runs on that can do USB at all have high speed
12:59:06braewoodsjust fair question to ask if USB X feature would be useful even if we only have 1.1 on a given target
12:59:40braewoodsMTP could be useful for safety reasons
12:59:56speachyMTP is useful, regardless of actual transfer speed.
13:00
13:00:03gevaertsAudio is fine on full speed I'd say. Fancy DACs want more because they want to do 192kHz at 24 bit on seventeen channels, but that won't happen here ever
13:00:35braewoodsyea. i'll see what i can do to make it happen.
13:00:53braewoodsi think RB is only going to need to support up to 2 storage contexts though
13:01:13braewoodsi've never seen a RB target with more than 2 at least in terms of physical storage
13:01:24braewoodsmy clip+ exposed the internal and external separately
13:01:42gevaertsThe one thing you *might* have problems with for MTP (not sure, there have been a lot of fixes since I looked) is stability. Back in my day (I feel old by saying that!) I tried to get some sort of speed graph thingy on the USB screen working, and the extra load (or bugs, or bad scheduling...) killed reliability
13:01:50gevaertsAnd MTP kind of implies you do that all the time
13:02:14speachyAlso MTP means dealing with client-side "quirks".
13:02:27braewoodsindeed which is why it will be experimental for awhile
13:02:39gevaertsThat was on PP502x targets and gigabeat S, so what in rockbox is the arc driver. No idea what other controllers do
13:02:48braewoodsUMS is going to remain the default
13:02:54braewoodsit's stable and mature
13:03:01braewoodsMTP will be an experimental option
13:03:18gevaertsIt bricked my sansa c250 for a few days in the early days. Stupid typo :)
13:03:44speachyone thing that does need to be considered is that right now, USB takes over the whole system. There's no "background" operations going on that you have to fight with. With MTP, that changes.
13:03:52gevaertsYes, exactly
13:03:57speachyMTP during playback?
13:04:09braewoodswe'll see.
13:04:22gevaertsSame with usb audio, really
13:04:24braewoodsi'm not sure what it realistic
13:04:29speachyI mean, the various OFs that I recall supporting MTP didn't allow the player to be used simultaneously either
13:04:44braewoodsthey probably couldn't handle it well
13:04:47braewoodslimited resources and all
13:04:53speachyit's a lot of resources, exactly.
13:05:02braewoodsphones can do both easily
13:05:09speachyfirst step will be simply s/UMS/MTP/ :)
13:05:30braewoodswe need to implement a functioning MTP and then worry about optimizing it later
13:05:30gevaertsI'd say it should be tried, if only to stress-test to find bugs.
13:05:34speachybraewoods: even the crappiest smarphones had an order of magnitude more resources than the best rockbox target
13:05:56braewoodsi plan to make it exclusive at first
13:05:58speachyplus they don't expose the whole filesystem
13:06:08braewoodsbut in time maybe that can change
13:06:20speachyhmm, that does give me an idea though
13:06:36gevaertsIdeally MTP during playback only leads to choppy sound and nothing worse. If you get that far, the thing is *stable*
13:07:02braewoodson the PP units though it has dual cores so
13:07:04speachygevaerts: and for giggles, delete the file that's being played back.
13:07:05_bilgus_keep in mind there are way to release bufferlib allocs on demand
13:07:13braewoodsmaybe you can delegate the MTP to the main threa
13:07:15gevaertsOh yes :)
13:07:17braewoodsand leave the playing in the background
13:07:22mendel_munkisI personally hate mtp but if you get it working nice.
13:07:56mendel_munkis_bilgus_: given that i plan on adding a .5k margin of error regardless I should be fine.
13:17:38mendel_munkiswell used=unused seems like a bad start.

13:33:49speachythe main bug is fixed, but the second comment is another issue
13:34:18speachyin short, when we're booted up plugged into USB, the USB insertion event fires and is processed _before_ we load our settings
13:36:37speachyindeed, it intentionally happens before we even mount our storage
13:36:59mendel_munkiswell apparently it runs entirely in the audio buffer instead of the plugin buffer.
13:40:11speachyI understand why it's done that way; we want to provide a way to export the disk in UMS mode rather than possibly exploding and preventing the system from proceeding into the mount)

14:16:19braewoodsspeachy: how important is supporting older windows from an MTP perspective?
14:16:39braewoodslike pre-windows 7 or 10 even
14:19:41speachyI'd say Win7 + 10 matter. but actually _debugging_ operation is the problem, since there's no source code to reference.
14:21:02braewoodsperhaps there is
14:21:31braewoodsi've seen plenty of MTP responder implementations in C++. it may be possible to port their quirks, if any.
14:22:12braewoodsbut first we need something that works well enough to worry about that
14:23:27braewoodsspeachy: if i were going to allocate IO buffers in USB... what are my options? using the audio buffer interferes with playback...
14:25:25speachyhonestly.. I'd say just statically allocate a chunk.
14:25:42speachyget it working with that, and then we can worry about making it dynamic.
14:25:47braewoodsok.
14:26:01braewoodsi would think a multiple of 4K would be good
14:26:11braewoodsbe sure i can align writes to disk sectors or so
