11:35:03MarcAndersenHi. When I run the genlang tool like this as in the wiki: ../../tools/genlang -u -e=english.lang yourlang.lang > yournewlang.lang it says Please use at least one of -p, -o, -c, -e and -s. Has something changed there and what is the new way to do it?
11:37:17speachyah, it's the '-u' option. use 'tools/updatelang' instead
11:38:22MarcAndersenOh. Didn't see that, sorry. I would like to work on the danish translation if that's ok with you. All the play next stuff and a lot more is not translated.
11:38:36speachyplease!
11:39:04speachyguess I should update the wiki, heh.
11:39:35MarcAndersenHey, why are so many pages edited in april 2021 by unnown user I wonder?
11:40:33speachyI forget the exact reason, but it was likely one of the mass cleanup passes that unfortunately triggered a page update.
11:41:27MarcAndersenThat's ok. Thanks by the way for the piper tts thing. I am thinking about learning to make a voice for it.
11:43:54 Join dconrad [0] (~dconrad@152.117.104.216)
11:45:20speachyMost of these newer TTS engines are designed to work via some sort of webservice or are deployed in a completly unstable/nonrepeatable manner, piper was the first I found that made it easy.
11:46:06speachyand teh quality is vastly better than espeak. I intend to switch the nightly voices over to it soon.
11:46:21speachyMarcAndersen: what was the wiki page that referenced that cmdline?
11:46:39MarcAndersenhttps://www.rockbox.org/wiki/LangFiles
11:47:01speachythanks, I'll correct that now
11:47:25MarcAndersenIt is linked to on the main translations page found in the navigation bar on the homepage
11:58:56MarcAndersenIf I replace dansk.lang with my update will it then automatically be built as binary when I make a normal build of rockbox?
12:00
12:06:30speachyyep
12:09:06dconradSounds like they may have messed with the audio path again on the hifi walker v1.6 🤦
12:09:26dconradthey just can't leave well enough alone
12:09:28speachyhmm, bug on the translate site. need to investigate that.
12:09:46MarcAndersenOk. I'll go ahead and try. A long time ago I tried to use the online version but my browser crashed in the middle of it, maybe I'll have better luck with the lang file.
12:12:47speachythank you
12:13:13speachyI'll enable that in the nightly voice generation too
12:13:21speachy(once the update is in)
12:13:28MarcAndersenEnable what?
12:14:21speachyvoice generation for the Dansk language
12:14:34speachy(the cutoff is 90% string coverage)
12:15:22MarcAndersenWhat would be the best way for me to send the lang file to you?
12:16:11speachyOfficial(tm) channels are the bug tracker or gerrit, but I'll accept it via carrier pigeon if that's what it will take
12:17:41speachyI'm just grateful to see improved coverage.

12:28:39MarcAndersenHow much is a language file allowed to change before it's created voice file gets invalid?
12:29:10 Quit dconrad (Remote host closed the connection)
12:31:31speachyvery little, unfortunately.
12:31:47MarcAndersenIs there a fixed amount?
12:31:53speachyused to be a lot less strict but it resulted in all sorts of wonkiness.
12:32:11speachyany change to the list of strings will invalidate the voice file.

12:33:21speachythat's a big part of why I've put a lot of work into improving the voice generation infrastructure (plus daily voicefile generation)
12:34:00MarcAndersenOh. I remember back in the days where voice files were valid forever and over time played completely wrong things. I was not happy with that invalid voice stuff in the beginning but it makes sense now.

14:43:05gevaertsMarcAndersen: fun times :) Walking people through recovering c2x0s was a bit of a specialty of mine back then!
14:43:32*gevaerts is still upset at Sandisk for having a buggy recovery mode on those!
14:44:58MarcAndersenI remember someone called timetraveler who asked all kinds of stupid questions while we were recovering it.
14:46:52MarcAndersenThat reminds me of the old irc stats over at rasher.dk, something like: Is MarcAndersen just stupid or asking questions, more than x lines contains a question!
14:47:27MarcAndersenWhy is that not updated after 2014?
14:49:04speachyyou'd have to ask rasher that. When I took over hosting everything from haxx, I pulled in everything else I was given
14:49:42MarcAndersenOh, haxx' big thing now is curl!
14:50:09MarcAndersenI wish rockbox was as popular as curl
14:50:51speachy__builtin: I updated the amaze port; it now builds on HEAD and is fully i18n'd
14:51:00npmaniaHi all, had been working on Shanling M0 Pro for the last few days.
14:51:12speachyseems to run ok on the xduoox3 and ipod5g
14:52:45npmaniaI have succeeded in sideloading binary executable and seems to be working well. It doesn't seem to have recovery like any other X1000 devices, though.
14:53:08speachyMarcAndersen: well, curl is probably used by a sizeable portion of the population (due to various embedded uses) but rockbox's niche was largely obliterated by smartphones
14:53:49MarcAndersenI know, it was mostly a stupid joke
14:54:07speachyhey, I'd love for it to have more of a (developer) mindshare
14:54:34MarcAndersenwhat is mindshare?
14:54:47speachybut alas bare-metal embedded hackery is a smaller niche than ever
14:55:49speachymindshare is... sort of like awareness or attention.
14:56:05speachyit's a play on "market share"
14:56:48MarcAndersenI get it. Rockbox is smaller than it once was.
14:57:42speachythe middle of the DAP market was gutted by smarphones, leaving only the barely-capable shovelware junk and the "tube amp and oxygen-depleted cables" audiophile stuff on the high end.
14:58:13MarcAndersenDo you have an idea of how many percent of users that use release and how many use dev builds?
14:58:15speachyoccasionally some decent stuff makes it out of China.
14:58:40speachyno idea.
14:58:57speachyonce installed, there's no longer any reason to check in
14:59:13MarcAndersenI would think that more and more use dev builds because of all these changes.
14:59:17npmania'smart' phone killed so much enjoyable hardwares
14:59:33speachyI could probably filter out rbutil from the webstats and keep that info longer but that of course doesn't count manual installs.
15:00
15:00:07speachyit's been an unusually long period since the last release. I'm trying to change that.
15:00:51MarcAndersenI also asked about it earlier but i completely understand the situation.

15:10:42lebelliumI'm surprised you even took some time to really justify the closure. Must have been painful for 200 tickets
15:13:20speachygiven that the alternative is declaring bankruptcy and nuking everything.. :(
15:15:48sporknpmania: there are several x1000 devices with 'hosted' rockbox ports
15:16:16sporkthat might be an option for what you are doing
15:17:13speachylebellium: what's left is going to take more work to sort through; I think about 2/3rds are patches of various quality/completeness.
15:17:16sporkfor some of those, patched firmware files are offered
15:17:47speachystill irked that I accidently nuked my stash of x1000 firmware files and the script I used to mass-patch them.
15:19:02MarcAndersenI removed my entire rockbox dir by doing rm -r * some time ago and lost some of my changes
15:19:50sporki have the older shanling m0 (not the pro), would love a (hosted) rockbox for that
15:20:14sporkthe hardware is very nice, the shanling music player app is not

20:00:22speachy_bilgus_: I agree it's ideal to have TTS on-device but I'm not sure how practical it'll be, especially if we have to go to an ancient engine due to licensing reasons.
20:01:26speachy(and/or resource limitations...)
20:03:20speachythe piper engine I'm intending to switch our pre-generated stuff over to using.. the _low quality_ models are still ~30MB, and the HQ ones are over 100. :D
20:03:32MarcAndersenI think we should have a real tts available at least on targets which can handle it.
20:04:30MarcAndersenThen the text viewer and maybe even frotz could be used, that would be fantastic!
20:04:34speachyfolks are really spoiled by the sheer oomph of a typical smartphone these days. :D
20:04:41MarcAndersenNot me
20:05:09MarcAndersenI use symbian as long as I can get away with it
20:06:38speachyThe main advantage of runtime TTS is filenames.
20:06:48speachy(vs pre-generated stuff)
20:06:55MarcAndersenCompletely agree on that!
20:07:40MarcAndersenBut I don't know if for example the c200 can do it fast enough for real use.
20:07:56speachybut there are some thorny problems still −− namely how do you determine the correct language for a given filename? (And then there ar situatuations where multiple languages are used in a single string)

20:13:57speachyrockbox's "spell out words" is IMO useless for non-english as it doesn't have coverage of the "standard" Latin charset, much less more "exotic" stuff.
