11:42:48user890104me and OlsroFR have an idea for the S5L87xx iPods, to give the user an option to backup and restore the utility flash (SPI NOR, 1 MB) where the SysCfg (device unique), bootloader and some assets live (apple logo, low battery/bad hdd images, etc.). Currently in the debug menu there's an option to display SysCfg, but that's it. is it a better idea to present this as a plugin, or it should stay in the system -> debug (keep out!) menu, to discourage
11:42:48user890104people from running the plugin if they don't understand what it does?
11:44:42user890104it can be very helpful if someone nukes their syscfg by mistake, because then apple's tools will refuse to restore the firmware, even in DFU mode. rockbox bootloader will happily boot though
11:52:46speachythat should be a plugin
11:53:04speachymodel it after iriver_flash
11:57:16user890104thanks, I didn't know about this one
11:59:59user890104speachy: does it support dumping the flash? I can see it's a file format plugin, not a generic one

20:45:46__builtinis there an iflash adapter for ipod mini?
20:48:08zemthe iflash store sells a µsd-cf adaptor, which ought to work for ipod mini but some people have trouble using it, i think particularly with rockbox
20:51:51__builtintrouble as in mechanical incompatibility or rockbox software incompatibility?
20:52:07zemthe latter
20:52:35zemi have a real cf card in my mini so i can't speak from personal experience, but if you wait a bit i'm sure someone more knowledgeable will chime in

21:42:32WebGuest45Hi All, I'm running the latest nightly on my fw4 Aigo Eros Q (the HiFi Walker branded version) and it looks like the top few pixels are cut off. They appear lit, they just look like they are slightly underneath the black bezel around the screen, just along the top.
21:56:34WebGuest45Is this a problem people are familiar with? I didn't seem to notice the issue with stock firmware. Wasn't sure if there was something wrong with my unit so I wanted to ask here.
21:58:42aaabbbif it's physically cut off, how could firmware be the cause?
22:00
22:18:58 Quit Moriar (Quit: Leaving.)
22:26:51WebGuest45Maybe it's addressing the top few lines of pixels too high up, I have no clue.
22:27:43aaabbbdunno. thish channel can be slow sometimes, but just wait around and a dev will answer
22:28:05WebGuest45Sounds good. Thanks for thinking about it
22:32:51WebGuest45Can I post photos? Or are there rules for linking an image? Would help illustrate the issue clearly.
22:33:22aaabbbyou can post links to photos i'm pretty sure
22:37:08WebGuest45https://i.imgur.com/HGU8nGm_d.webp?maxwidth=760&fidelity=grand
22:38:04WebGuest45Sorry for poor quality. If you look closely, you can't quite see all the text at the top. If you were to look at an angle, you'd see the number and icons appear complete and seem to start at the first row of pixels, just slightly hidden under the bezel. Wondering if this might just be an issue with the screen alignment from the factory or
22:38:05WebGuest45something.

23:10:00_bilgusWebGuest45, I noticed it I think its just the mask being thick enough6
23:12:08_bilgusor rather too thick, I did a bit of investigation on my particular version and its display controller might be able to adjust but there are apparently several different revisions
23:13:14_bilgussome themes are better (or worse) than others
23:15:18aaabbba lot of times, different screens on small devices will have some covered pixels, and it's up to the software to not use them
23:15:22aaabbbso maybe that is the case here
23:33:49 Quit massiveH (Quit: Leaving)
23:41:10***Saving seen data "./dancer.seen"
23:43:07WebGuest45Gotcha. Thanks for the answer _bilgus sounds like it's a bit of an error from the manufacturer. It might be cool to have a setting to introduce an offset but I'll just try some themes out instead.
23:45:08WebGuest45Regardless rockbox is very snappy, glad I returned my Mechen M30 and bought something compatible. It took that thing like 12 hours to index all my music (400 GB FLACs) whereas the HiFi Walker with Rockbox took maybe 15 min.
23:45:26aaabbbgenerally no need to keep everything in flac btw
23:45:39aaabbbflac is best for your archive, and i'd hope the archive is on something more reliable than a dap :p
23:48:11WebGuest45Ya that's fair. I'm new to DAPs and lossless music. Back in the day I had plenty of 320 kbps mp3s, but streaming has dominated. It still has its place but I've missed out on a lot of good music so I'm making an effort to go through some oldies and try to enjoy them as close to the original experience as possible (no I'm not buying vinyl or a CD
23:48:11WebGuest45player lol)
23:48:57aaabbbwhat i do is encode to opus 96k or 128k
23:49:02WebGuest45I am probably more limited by my Sennheiser Momentum headphones or my KZ IEMs
23:49:10WebGuest45Nice. Does it take your PC long to transcode?
23:49:38aaabbbopus is slower to transcode than most other codecs, but it's really not slow. you can also adjust the "compelxity" which is a quality/speed tradeoff
23:49:54aaabbbif i need to encode fast (or if i want the best decode battery life), i do vorbis 160k
23:52:46WebGuest45That's cool, how do you usually listen? DAP with rockbox I assume?
23:53:34aaabbbif i do rockbox i use vorbis just because it has better battery life (at the expense of less storage capacity), but usually i listen on my laptop
23:56:52WebGuest45Interesting. Do you use a plugin DAC+amp to connect your headphones/speakers?
23:57:31aaabbbno, i just use my computer headphone output. i should probably get a dac/amp some day if i get a higher-impedance headphones
23:58:52WebGuest45I'm no audiophile, but I highly recommend it. The integrated ones have been so bad in my experience, even for small earbuds
