00.11.50 #       <Christi-S> Argh - I think I'm having a brain fart.  How do I expose private subroutines to external files.  I thought it was just a matter of declaring them extern.
00.12.08 #       <Christi-S> I am probably being very dumb - it's so long since I wrote C.
00.12.24 #       <Zagor> Christi-S: the external file needs to see the declaration somewhere.
00.12.32 #       <preglow> you declare them in a .h file and just link with the .o file that contains the sub?
00.12.41 #       <preglow> extern isn't needed, i think
00.12.58 #       <preglow> but then again, it's been a while since i coded pure c as well
00.14.25 #       * Christi-S nods. It's compiling without warnings and then complaining about missing routines when I get to the linker stage.
00.14.30 #       <amiconn> extern is default, so it's not needed
00.14.50 #       <Zagor> Christi-S: is it static?
00.14.51 #       <preglow> ahh, so extern is the opposite of static?
00.15.02 #       <Christi-S> Nope.
00.16.04 #       <amiconn> preglow: True for function declarations. For variables, there is a difference.
00.16.36 #       <preglow> amiconn: then i understand, yes, i was about to ask about that
00.17.29 #       <Zagor> Christi-S: then the function is simply not included in the link stage. check for spelling mistakes etc.
00.17.35 #       <Christi-S> I am trying to call routines in main_menu.c and recorder/recording.c from tree.c
00.18.23 #       <preglow> why not just do an objdump and see if the function name is correctly exported?
00.18.59 #       <Zagor> which functions?
00.19.15 #       <Christi-S> rec_menu and recording_screen
00.19.47 #       <Zagor> which target are you building?
00.19.55 #       <Christi-S> simulator
00.20.03 #       <Christi-S> (jbfm)
00.20.11 #       <Zagor> that's the problem. those functions are not available in the simulator.
00.20.19 #       <Zagor> #if CONFIG_HWCODEC == MAS3587F

10.45.07 #       <LinusN> will anyone object if i remove the automatic start of playback when inserting a track in the playlist from the on-play menu?
10.45.25 #       <Bagder> I won't
10.45.28 #       <LinusN> it is a nuisance when all you want is to build a playlist
10.45.34 #       <LinusN> especially if you're blind
10.45.46 #       <Bagder> I've never used it ;-)
10.46.15 #       <Zagor> i don't use playlist building much either
10.50.21 #       <Lynx_> hmm, is it many keypresses to start the playlist then?
10.51.15 #       <LinusN> it should start when pressing ON
10.51.21 #       <LinusN> to go to the wps
10.51.29 #       <LinusN> (if you have resume enabled)
10.52.22 #       <Lynx_> ah, sure, resume...
10.54.51 #       <LinusN> or save the playlist and then play it
10.55.09 #       <LinusN> (which i think would be the main point of the exercise)
10.56.17 #       <Lynx_> well, i rarely play saved lists, usually i play the first track by inserting it into the list and while it plays add more tracks.
10.56.49 #       <Lynx_> because otherwise the whole directory will go into the list, which is annoying
10.57.49 #       <LinusN> someone should write a playlist editing plugin :-)

11.06.08 Quit    ze ("leaving")
11.06.49 #       <amiconn> LinusN: I'd vote to make it an option whether start building a playlist also starts playback
11.07.02 #       <LinusN> because...?
11.09.09 #       <Lynx_> well, I would be against making it mandatory to start the playlist separately, for the reasons above...
11.09.15 #       <amiconn> For some people (like me) it may be preferable to immediately start playback. I almost never use saved playlists
11.09.54 #       <LinusN> ...but you start playback by inserting a file?
11.11.17 #       <LinusN> i wonder if it could be dependent on the voice settings
11.11.36 #       <LinusN> i do this solely to enable playlist building for the blind
11.11.45 #       <amiconn> Well, it depends. I almost never isert single files, but quite sometimes I start with inserting a dir.
11.12.26 #       <amiconn> This is not the same as starting a track within the dir if both "shuffle" and "play selected file first" are enabled
11.12.31 #       <LinusN> what is the difference between inserting dir and playing the first file in the dir?
11.12.45 #       <LinusN> aha
11.15.33 #       <LinusN> what if it doesn't start playing if the voice is enabled (and there is a voice file)
11.15.34 #       <LinusN> ?
11.17.06 #       <[IDC]Dragon> I'd call that a very difficult to understand side effect
11.17.11 #       <Bagder> I agree
11.17.21 #       <LinusN> probably
11.17.35 #       <LinusN> problem is, if we have an option, what should be the default?
11.18.04 #       <[IDC]Dragon> when do you insert a file and want to start playback?
11.18.27 #       <LinusN> amiconn and Lynx_ have presented their examples
11.18.31 #       <[IDC]Dragon> I start by playing a file, is that playlist insertion
11.18.34 #       <[IDC]Dragon> ?
11.19.09 #       <LinusN> on-play->playlist->insert starts playback automatically
11.19.31 #       <LinusN> bad for blind people who wants to build a playlist
11.19.39 #       <[IDC]Dragon> it's not intuitive to me that this should start playback
11.19.44 #       <LinusN> me neither
11.19.47 #       <[IDC]Dragon> or rather, does
11.20.52 #       <LinusN> i personally think it should do what it says, and insert the file. period.
11.21.03 #       * [IDC]Dragon agrees
11.21.30 #       <LinusN> but it would make it less convenient for guys like Lynx_
11.22.14 #       <LinusN> i think the default option should be not to start playback
11.22.53 #       <LinusN> or maybe an option to not insert the rest of the directory when playing a file
11.25.25 #       <Lynx_> btw, what is the difference between the queue and the playlist?
11.26.16 #       <Lynx_> would it be much trouble just to add another option "insert and play" that is only active when nothing is playing?
11.27.32 #       <LinusN> so, to insert and play:
11.28.28 #       <amiconn> LinusN: Thinking about it a bit further, I have to agree. Starting playback by inserting a track/dir is not intuitive (although it makes using playlists a bit more complicated in certain scenarios)
11.28.52 #       <amiconn> (...if it does not start automatically)
11.29.13 #       <LinusN> hold ON, PLAY to select "playlist", DOWN and the PLAy to select "insert and play", total of 4 keypresses
11.29.21 #       <LinusN> or:
11.29.57 #       <LinusN> hold ON, PLAY to select "playlist", PLAY again to select "insert", then ON to go to the WPS, total of 4 keypresses
11.30.51 #       <LinusN> (if resume is set to "always", that is)
11.32.19 #       <amiconn> After all, it may make building a playlist in the car more convenient if the list does not start automatically...
11.33.03 #       <Lynx_> LinusN: hmm, is the latter one not 5 keypresses, i have to confirm the resume with PLAY ?
11.33.21 #       <Lynx_> ah, resume set to always, sorry.
11.33.36 #       <LinusN> Lynx_: that's why i said (if resume is set to "always")
11.33.55 #       <Bagder> you don't need to confirm resume when ON is pressed, do you?
11.34.02 #       <LinusN> yes i do
11.34.06 #       <Bagder> I can't recall having to do that
11.34.09 #       <Bagder> but ok
11.34.14 #       <LinusN> maybe you have "ask once"?
11.34.26 #       <Lynx_> sorry, i wasn't really aware of the resume settings
11.34.27 #       <Bagder> I don't think so, but I don't remember
11.37.07 #       <Bagder> perhaps ON should resume whatever the resume setting says
11.37.30 #       <Bagder> I think of the resume setting for shutdown/power on resumes
11.37.55 #       <LinusN> perhaps it should, yes

13.11.51 #       <LinusN> please elaborate
13.13.06 #       <Cassandra> At the beginning of the struct that stores rockbox config info in memory there is a kind of null entry.  Currently it's nine bytes long.  I'm interested in knowing what it means.

13.18.14 #       <Cassandra> I thought it was 44 bits long.
13.18.26 #       <LinusN> the entry is 9 bits long
13.18.38 #       <LinusN> the RTC RAM is 44 bytes long
13.19.22 #       <LinusN> the placeholder contains the number of *used* bits, not the size of the RTC RAM
13.19.52 #       <LinusN> it is updated by the save_bit_table() function
13.20.06 #       <Cassandra> But there seems to be far more than 9 bits of information in the rtc_bits struct.
13.20.51 #       <LinusN> "placeholder"
13.21.10 #       <LinusN> it is calculated and written by save_bit_table()
13.21.32 #       <Cassandra> Ah.  So it doesn't need updating when you change things then?
13.21.32 #       <LinusN> the *size field* is 9 bits long
13.21.48 #       <Zagor> Cassandra: a 9 bit value holds 0-511. the rtc struct is is <512 bits long.
13.22.21 #       <LinusN> yes, it is constant until you change the struct definition
13.23.13 #       <Cassandra> I've added 1 bit of into to hd_bits.  Do I need to up the placeholder from 11 to 12, or not?
13.23.26 #       <LinusN> i repeat:
13.23.27 #       <Zagor> no
13.23.28 #       <LinusN> it is calculated and written by save_bit_table()

13.29.44 #       <Bagder> dwihno: of what font stuff?
13.32.23 #       <Bagder> I doubt the fonts will be a problem on the new units
13.32.41 #       <LinusN> they aren't on the iriver
13.32.43 #       <Bagder> possibly only colored ones
13.32.45 #       <Zagor> odd. the H340 is cheaper than the H140 on pricerunner
13.33.24 #       <LinusN> dwihno: perhaps you're referring to the iriverport wiki, where i say that loadable fonts don't work?
13.33.54 #       <LinusN> that has nothing to do with optimization
13.34.13 #       <LinusN> it's just an ordinary bug :-)
13.34.17 #       <Bagder> actually, jyp also "removed" the font loading in his patch
13.34.28 #       <Bagder> but I didn't commit that ;-)
13.35.37 #       <dwihno> LinusN: Yeah, that's what I thought...
13.35.40 #       <LinusN> what do we prefer, tons of dead code in the boot loader, or tons of #ifdefs in the firmware code?
13.35.55 #       <ashridah> Zagor: wouldn't that be a symptom of dwindling h1xx stocks?
13.36.01 #       <dwihno> LinusN: I thought perhaps everything was arm optimized and stuff :)
13.36.11 #       <preglow> aren't iriver discontinuing the h1x0 series?
13.36.17 #       <Bagder> preglow: yes
13.36.29 #       <Bagder> at least people all over say so
13.36.30 #       <LinusN> we wouldn't optimize for arm, since we don't have an arm in any of our target platforms :-)
13.36.41 #       <Zagor> ashridah: possibly
13.36.46 #       <preglow> exit the good players, enter the xp only players
13.36.52 #       <LinusN> or maybe you meant "hand optimized" :-)
13.37.16 #       <LinusN> ooooh, it's not even hand optimized, it's ARM optimized!!!
13.37.24 #       <preglow> hahaha
13.37.28 #       <ashridah> preglow: XP only? don't tell me they're fucking over customers by gluing things like the n10 and h10 to WMP ?
13.37.35 #       <preglow> ashridah: they are indeed
13.37.37 #       <Zagor> ashridah: they sure do
13.37.40 #       <ashridah> god
13.37.49 #       <LinusN> "tied for sure"
13.37.52 #       <Zagor> no mass storage for you
13.37.55 #       <ashridah> what did iriver's customers do to deserve that kind of treatment?
13.38.05 #       <preglow> buy iriver players
13.38.10 #       <Zagor> lol
13.38.13 #       <ashridah> this is the fault of those sods who complained about a lack of protected wma support
13.38.28 #       * ashridah huggles his h1xx and dreams the dreams of the free
13.39.02 #       <LinusN> mp3 freedom fighters are a dying breed :-)
13.39.16 #       <preglow> by the way, do you guys think vorbis support in the h1x0 uses more power because of some inherent complexity in vorbis, or because of a lousily coded decoder?
13.39.27 #       <Zagor> preglow: both
13.39.46 #       <Cassandra> Can anyone think of a reason why if I change a setting that I've added to Rockbox and then ROLO the kernel again the setting reverts to its default value
13.39.51 #       <Zagor> i wouldn't say "lousy" though, but it's probably at lot less optimised than the mp3 decoder
13.39.54 #       <ashridah> i couldn't really care less about mp3s, but they can pry oggs out of my cold dead hands
13.40.03 #       <preglow> i use vorbis exclusively, more or less, so it's a concern, heh
13.40.08 #       <LinusN> Cassandra: that's one of the uses for the size field
13.40.21 #       <Bagder> Cassandra: because the config struct changed it can't load the old one
13.40.26 #       <Bagder> and it resets to default
13.40.26 #       <LinusN> if the size changes, the settings are invalid, since the struct has changed
13.40.59 #       <ashridah> preglow: heh, someone on misticriver (iirc) managed to cram a 20-something hour battery into his h1xx. just do that :)
13.41.32 #       <preglow> ashridah: yeah, i noticed, i think i'll try that if it ever becomes a big concern
13.41.34 #       <Cassandra> Ah, so I need to bump the CONFIG_BLOCK_VERSION ?
13.42.23 #       <ashridah> bit of a tight squeeze tho apparently, i'd be worried about some component piercing the packaging on it. while li-poly's aren't SUPPOSED to go *ROAST* flame-thrower style if they're cut, it's still probably not good for the contents of the player
13.42.59 #       * ashridah is still entertained by the pictures made by a guy who made his pda into a 2-foot flamethrower for a few seconds because he accidentalyl damaged the packaging on the battery when trying to hack in a mod into it
13.44.01 #       * ashridah should probably also be concerned by the way the battery pack in an old nokia phone he has is slowly expanding (it's got a bulge of about 1mm to it atm. hm)
13.44.27 #       <preglow> hah!
13.44.37 #       <preglow> my new torx screwdrivers fit in the iriver screws!
13.44.40 #       <ashridah> i don't really want it to explode in my desk, but i can't throw it into the bin
13.44.42 #       <LinusN> Cassandra: yes, you should bump it
13.44.45 #       <preglow> time for preglows hardware adventure
13.45.12 #       <ashridah> preglow: heh, i'm not even willing to 'skin' the stock firmware yet, mine's still in warranty
13.45.20 #       <ashridah> (only for three more months tho)
13.45.42 #       <preglow> i've probably got over year left
13.45.44 #       <Cassandra> Didn't seem to help though.  It's still "forgetting" the changed value.
13.45.48 #       <LinusN> Cassandra: but it will only have the exact same effect
13.46.08 #       <Cassandra> Oh.
13.46.31 #       <LinusN> however, it shouldn't happem when you rolo the exact same version of rockbox
13.46.41 #       <amiconn> ashridah: You should probably also look at http://joerg.hohensohn.bei.t-online.de/archos/bursting_fmr/
13.47.16 #       * ashridah peers
13.47.58 #       <Cassandra> linus: I am doing, unfortunately, and it's still not remembering I've changed it.
13.47.59 #       <preglow> hah, that's a pretty flat battery
13.48.11 #       <LinusN> maybe you didn't save the settings before rolo:ing?
13.48.21 #       <LinusN> (spin up the hard drive)
13.48.44 #       <ashridah> amiconn: hah. 
13.48.51 #       <Cassandra> (Added weirdness:  I can't load my test firmware with ON+F1, when it's in the root of the drive.)
13.49.11 #       <LinusN> is it too big?
13.49.32 #       <Cassandra> linus: I doubt it - boots fine with ROLO.
13.49.48 #       <LinusN> rolo doesn't have the same size check as the archos boot loader
13.50.02 #       <Cassandra> How big is too big?
13.50.07 #       <LinusN> 200k
13.50.19 #       <Cassandra> Nope, 185k
13.50.57 #       <LinusN> also, the archos loader has some issues so it sometimes won't find AJBREC.AJZ even if it's there
13.51.16 #       <LinusN> directory snoop can remedy that, see the FAQ
13.51.26 #       <Cassandra> that's probably what's happening.  Ta.
13.53.19 #       <ashridah> LinusN: care to offer a guess about how long it'll be before there's a working firmware loader for the h1xx?
13.53.31 #       <LinusN> lemme guess.......
13.53.42 #       <LinusN> .....not so long?
13.54.13 #       <ashridah> spare-time permitting, as expected.
13.54.15 #       <preglow> and the player still functions, total triumph
13.54.15 #       <Cassandra> Wow - he usually says "when it's ready".
13.54.23 #       <dwihno> How are you going to get the loader in a non-bdm box?
13.54.26 #       <LinusN> i'm currently writing the boot loader code
13.54.40 #       <ashridah> cool.
13.54.43 #       <LinusN> dwihno: with the firmware update feature in the iriver firmware
13.54.46 #       <dwihno> "Linus evil boot loader ... please wait while formatting..."
13.54.53 #       <dwihno> LinusN: aah, neato! that's cool!
13.55.04 #       <dwihno> this will be so cool!
13.55.20 #       <preglow> indeed
13.55.24 #       <LinusN> my main problem right now is how to make it small enough
13.55.41 #       * ashridah can imagine
13.55.45 #       <LinusN> currently, i end up with a huge blob of dead code
13.55.45 #       <preglow> ahh, assembly size optimizing
13.55.49 #       <preglow> nothing is that fun
13.55.51 #       <ashridah> how much empty space is there in the iriver firmware?
13.55.55 #       <dwihno> Use lzip (http://lzip.sourceforge.net/) ;D
13.56.05 #       <LinusN> since the rockbox firmware library has a lot of cross-references
13.56.16 #       <ashridah> dwihno: hahah. yeah, push the compression to 100%, get a 0 byte file :)
13.56.24 #       <preglow> LinusN: you aren't writing it in assembly?
13.56.32 #       <LinusN> ashridah: about 60-100k iirc
13.56.43 #       <dwihno> \o/ :)
13.56.50 #       <ashridah> LinusN: ah. more than i expected, tbh.
13.57.12 #       <LinusN> the code size isn't the main issue, it's the fact that i want to know exactly which code is included
13.57.22 #       <dwihno> aah, okay
13.57.33 #       <LinusN> sor safety
13.57.34 #       <LinusN> for
13.58.15 #       <Cassandra> Why does my generated "rockbox.ucl" file say "fake" in it?
13.58.35 #       <LinusN> because you don't have the ucl packer
13.58.50 #       <[IDC]Dragon> Cassandra: you don't need to bump the config version if you just add an entry at the table bottom
13.58.50 #       <Cassandra> Ah.  What's the CVS package name?
13.59.20 #       <LinusN> Cassandra: the ucl packer is not in our cvs
13.59.24 #       <Cassandra> idc - need to add it in the middle, really, since it ought to be with the other recording settings.
13.59.37 #       <Cassandra> linus: Oh, right.
13.59.44 #       * LinusN is soooo curious
13.59.47 #       <[IDC]Dragon> that's just esthetic
13.59.54 #       <dwihno> Cassandra: you need to download the ucl packer from that obenhumer guys page and patch it with something jörg wrote, afaik
14.00.00 #       <[IDC]Dragon> please add it at the bottom
14.00.27 #       <[IDC]Dragon> in order not to break compatibility
14.00.29 #       <LinusN> then we move it when we do something that requires a bump
14.00.37 #       <Cassandra> OK. Makes sense
14.01.19 #       <[IDC]Dragon> I was pleased to notice that the ucl packer is in a cygwin package
14.01.32 #       <[IDC]Dragon> (Eric's)
14.02.03 #       <[IDC]Dragon> even 1.03 (the current version), with my patch
14.03.00 #       <LinusN> eric is a nice guy
14.03.04 #       <dwihno> what does your patch do?
14.03.24 #       <LinusN> adds an option that doesn't compress
14.03.25 #       <[IDC]Dragon> allow uncompressed ucl, for rombox
14.03.37 #       <dwihno> aah, okay

14.41.42 #       <Cassandra> OK, that is weird.
14.42.46 #       <Cassandra> I have definitely wiped all the old directory entries from my drive.  However, it's still not booting ajbrec.ajz with F1+ON but loading the default Archos firmware instead.
14.44.13 #       <Zagor> do you have another file with a name starting with "ajb"?

14.47.50 #       <Cassandra> I mean
14.47.53 #       <LinusN> there you have it
14.48.10 #       <Cassandra> Hmmm?
14.48.21 #       <LinusN> the scrambling is different between v2 and fm
14.48.50 #       <LinusN> the archos boot loader looks for an fm file
14.49.04 #       <LinusN> and you probably built a v2 file
14.49.14 #       <Cassandra> Nope, built an fm file.
14.49.28 #       <Cassandra> In which case, it's probably the other way round.
14.49.34 #       <LinusN> probably

15.07.27 #       <Cassandra> Well I've tried it with ROLO and with F1+ON so far.  Effect is the same with both ways.
15.07.44 #       <LinusN> and you use the safe shutdown, of course
15.08.16 #       <Cassandra> Use the v2 power off.  I've seen the "shutting down" appear.
15.08.44 #       <LinusN> do you call settings_save()?
15.09.07 #       <Cassandra> Me?  No.

15.21.00 Topic   "Rockbox - Coolest firmware around" by LinusN (~linus@labb.contactor.se)
15.21.16 #       <Zagor> "Inkurant produkt" lol
15.21.38 #       <[IDC]Dragon> pehaps something about portable mp3 players?
15.22.15 #       <Cassandra> I also had a look at implementing F1 to do modal changes like I suggested on the list, but I can't see a way to do it without completely screwing the program flow.
15.22.30 #       <Cassandra> So I decided against doing that.
15.23.49 #       <preglow> wisely so
15.24.36 #       <pike> does rockbox have any visualizations or spectrum meters in it's current version ?
15.24.55 #       <preglow> not the archos version, at least
15.24.57 #       <preglow> so probablynot
15.25.20 #       <Zagor> we have the oscillograph
15.25.37 #       <preglow> does the archos players allow you to read the audio data?
15.25.47 #       <LinusN> no
15.25.53 #       <pike> the iriver remote, it's just dumb duplicate of the org screen, so everything it shows it sent to it, it doesnt have any builtin "intelligence" ?
15.26.05 #       <preglow> pike: no
15.26.08 #       <LinusN> it's a separate screen
15.26.14 #       <Zagor> different screen dimension
15.26.17 #       <LinusN> and separate keyboard
15.26.17 #       <Bagder> its darned cool
15.26.26 #       <LinusN> Bagder: ack
15.26.32 #       <pike> what interface between iriver<->remote?
15.26.42 #       <pike> speed etc
15.26.43 #       <preglow> spi?
15.26.44 #       <LinusN> spi and adc
15.26.56 #       <preglow> LinusN: adc for the buttons?
15.26.58 #       <LinusN> yes
15.27.11 #       <LinusN> except for the hold switch
15.27.11 #       <preglow> is that a common design? that's the first time i've heard of such a solution
15.27.23 #       <LinusN> adc for buttons?
15.27.25 #       <preglow> yes
15.27.27 #       <LinusN> common, yes

15.27.53 #       <c0g0> hey anyone here?
15.27.55 #       <preglow> goes for showing me how much i know about electronics
15.28.00 #       <LinusN> hehe
15.28.00 #       <preglow> c0g0: apparently
15.28.05 #       <c0g0> ya ;D
15.28.13 #       <pike> LinusN: how many bps is the interface?
15.28.29 #       <LinusN> haven't measured
15.28.33 #       <preglow> pike: you thinking of having a spectrum analyzer on the remote, or something?
15.28.41 #       <c0g0> i wonder something about the new archos pma400 ... will it be possible to show all versions of divx and xvid on it?
15.28.43 #       <LinusN> i don't know the lcd limits
15.28.46 #       <c0g0> since it has linux...
15.28.55 #       <pike> preglow: there's an idea :)
15.28.56 #       <LinusN> c0g0: i have absolutely no idea
15.29.29 #       <c0g0> but it says only mpeg4 sp in the specs..
15.29.34 #       <pike> on iriver fw, if tag is too long, it scrolls it. if you ffw simultaneously, it can "lag" somewhat, so the speed is prob not much to celebrate
15.29.35 #       <preglow> c0g0: that's more a question of how good the archos coders are
15.29.39 Join    webguest43 [0] (~d99b54b6@labb.contactor.se)
15.29.46 #       <c0g0> but wouldnt it be possible for someone to code it?
15.29.49 #       <preglow> c0g0: linux doesn't enter into it
15.29.56 #       <Zagor> c0g0: i assume it requires dsp-adapted codecs
15.30.06 #       <preglow> c0g0: possibly, depends on how much they've modified the kernel
15.30.24 #       <preglow> c0g0: they have to release the source they use anyway, so yes, it should be possible
15.30.28 #       <LinusN> pike: the spi speed isn't necessarily the ussue
15.30.29 #       <c0g0> there is a sdk out... but i dont know anything about that stuff thou
15.30.30 #       <LinusN> issue
15.30.37 #       <webguest43> hi ! quick question: do you think you will implement FLAC on the iRiver ?

15.30.45 #       <LinusN> webguest43: yes we will
15.30.47 #       <preglow> i can't see a reason for not doing it
15.30.56 #       <Zagor> c0g0: the dsp docs is TI property, so you won't get to see them

15.31.33 Quit    webguest43 (Client Quit)
15.31.37 #       <c0g0> so probably it wont be able to show all versions more then any other player?
15.31.52 #       <preglow> you'll have to test it to find out
15.32.16 #       <c0g0> hehe true...
15.32.17 #       <Zagor> not unless a) archos spends a lot of time and money to support it b) someone digs up the dsp docs and spends the time

15.33.42 Part    jyp ("Leaving")
15.33.58 #       <c0g0> i guess tehy manly release in xvid nowadays...
15.34.05 #       <Zagor> yes
15.35.31 #       <webguest43> another question: can one specifically donate to the rockbox iriver port ?
15.35.37 #       <c0g0> so mainly most movies are playanle?
15.35.40 #       <pike> do the portable players really manage 1Mbps xvids ?
15.35.44 #       <LinusN> webguest43: not really
15.36.08 #       <webguest43> bugger, would have liked to invite you for a beer.
15.36.15 #       <preglow> invite me!
15.36.30 #       <webguest43> you are hereby invited
15.36.36 #       <LinusN> i'd like a beer too!
15.36.48 #       <preglow> if i'm ever in sweden, i'll let you know, heh
15.36.56 #       <Bagder> hey, I made a iRiver-sized rockbox logo! ;-)
15.37.06 #       <preglow> i'll even promise to write a code
15.37.14 #       <preglow> Bagder: can we see? 
15.37.18 #       <c0g0> hmm look at this:
15.37.23 #       <c0g0> Yes you can run any application on this device. There are allready hundreds of emulators for SNES, NES, there is voice-over-IP software, word processing software to edit docs, image editors, video editing.. Many cool programs you can for example find on http://www.killefiz.de/zaurus/ - those apps are for the Sharp Zaurus, which is the only other PDA running Linux and is only available in Japan. Some of those programs just need to be recompiled for the exact
15.37.25 #       <webguest43> last question: will you ever support the irivers remote ?
15.37.29 #       <Bagder> preglow: sure, build the simulator for iRiver ;-)
15.37.47 #       <Bagder> or beg Linus to take a photo of his unit showing it
15.38.02 #       <Bagder> webguest43: yes
15.38.20 #       <Bagder> that "ever" makes it safe to say yes ;-)
15.38.21 #       <preglow> i'll check out the code once i'm done programming a vst plug for a guy
15.38.57 #       <preglow> which i'll be in a couple of days, with some luck
15.39.19 #       <c0g0> so the only way to make the player play all versions is to code for that particular dsp?
15.39.38 #       <webguest43> ok, then I think i will get a h-140 very soon, hate to see all the DRM stuff come up on the new players
15.39.51 #       <preglow> c0g0: my guess is that they have already made it compatible with most warezed movies, since that's what i guess most people will watch anyway
15.40.12 #       <LinusN> webguest43: do that
15.40.18 #       <webguest43> need to sell my christmas-present-ipod first though, anyone here want it ?
15.40.25 #       <webguest43> :-)

15.40.29 #       <preglow> haha
15.40.40 #       <Cassandra> I'll take it for free.
15.40.49 #       <webguest43> was tough to keep a smile on my face in front of my mum
15.40.56 #       <preglow> hahaha
15.41.03 #       <webguest43> she was so proud she bought me something technical.....
15.41.05 #       <preglow> " wow, this is.... adequate... thanks! "
15.41.54 #       <preglow> i like the ipod user interface, at least
15.41.56 #       <c0g0> preglow: so u think most players out there will play warez movies?
15.42.20 #       <preglow> c0g0: i have no idea, really, but if i were a coder for those players, i'd try to make them compatible
15.43.00 #       <c0g0> ya hehe true..
15.43.58 Part    LinusN
15.45.58 #       <Zagor> c0g0: i think it will NOT play most movies. their earlier players haven't.
15.46.45 #       <Zagor> very few hardware players support xvid, in fact
15.47.18 #       <Cassandra> Yay, that works.
15.48.28 #       <Cassandra> Even interacts correctly with resume now.
15.48.32 #       <Cassandra> I am a happy bunny.
15.49.04 #       <[IDC]Dragon> :-)
15.49.36 #       <[IDC]Dragon> and why weren't you beforehand?
15.50.07 #       <Cassandra> Cause it wasn't working.
15.50.19 #       <Cassandra> Now to submit the fruits of my labour to Sourceforge.
15.51.45 #       <dwihno> how do you divert heat from the other components when soldering let's say, a circuit board?
15.53.00 #       <Zagor> dwihno: you don't. work quickly so the heat doesn't spread.
15.53.35 #       <c0g0> Zagor: hmm i guess most movies are compressed in the hardest methods, wich is not SP anyway... so maybe it does not work..
15.54.36 #       <Lynx_> c0g0: see, I told you yesterday: get a subnotebook ;)
15.55.36 Part    Zagor
15.56.15 #       <dwihno> Hm. I need to practice the soldering stuffs :)
15.57.15 #       <preglow> if you want to solder mp3 players, then yes indeed, you need to

16.00.15 #       <c0g0> he.. but can i play all versions of movies on it? ;D
16.00.37 #       <Lynx_> c0g0: even from cd's and dvd's if its not too small ;)
16.02.01 #       <Bagder> Cassandra: I like that option

23.28.49 #       <Cassandra> Is anyone here who understands how memory management is done in Rockbox.  I'm thinking particularly of when manipulating strings such as filenames.
23.29.19 #       <Bagder> manipulating how?
23.30.55 #       <amiconn> What do you need to know?
23.30.55 #       <amiconn> The general memory management within rockbox is static.
23.30.56 #       <Cassandra> Well, looking at the virtual keyboard code, it looks like the code just grows the buffer infinitely.  I can't work out how one ensures that the buffer you hand it has room to grow at the end.
23.31.22 #       <Bagder> in general you need to pass along a size as well
23.31.33 #       <Bagder> or just "know" the size of the static buffer
23.32.25 #       <Cassandra> Well, the routine is passed a size, but like I say, it can increase that.  Otherwise you wouldn't be able to enter a filename longer than what you started with.
23.32.52 #       <Cassandra> Basically what I'm asking is how do we know it's not going to overwrite something else important.
23.33.01 #       <Bagder> possibly it doesn't
23.33.06 #       <Bagder> and that's badness
23.33.11 #       <Bagder> it needs to check for it
23.33.27 #       * Cassandra nods.
23.34.21 #       <amiconn> Nope, it does check. The size you pass it is the maximum length the filename can grow to.
23.34.42 #       <Bagder> ok, good
23.35.44 #       <Cassandra> Ah, yes.  I see it now.  It looked to me like it was being called with that set to the length of the string though, which is not good if it's true.
23.35.50 #       <amiconn> apps/recorder/keyboard.c, line 385
23.37.42 #       <Cassandra> empirically I have to be wrong about that.
23.43.21 #       <Cassandra> Ah - I'm confusing sizeof and strlen.   It's obviously way too long since I seriously wrote C.
23.44.58 #       * Cassandra is trying to add a directory selection interface to the keyboard. Unfortunately I seem to be hitting implementation issues.

23.45.05 #       <crash_> can someone tell me how i can build a simulated target vor iriver?
23.45.17 #       <Bagder> crash_: on what OS?
23.45.20 #       <LinusN> [IDC]Dragon: u there?
23.45.25 #       <crash_> configure works fine but when i "make" it tells me nothing to be done
23.45.27 #       <crash_> linux
23.45.41 #       <Bagder> nothing?
23.45.51 #       <[IDC]Dragon> LinusN, I'm here

23.46.02 #       <LinusN> having uart boot probs
23.46.10 #       <Bagder> crash_: and I guess nothing was built?
23.46.18 #       <[IDC]Dragon> what kind?
23.46.27 #       <Bagder> crash_: I'll rebuild mine from scratch now to try
23.46.33 #       <[IDC]Dragon> and what hardware?
23.46.46 #       <LinusN> [IDC]Dragon: never stops downloading monitor
23.47.05 #       <crash_> Bagder: i feel sorry, think i saw an error where none has been
23.47.20 #       <LinusN> [IDC]Dragon: works!
23.47.21 #       <Bagder> builds for me
23.47.33 #       <LinusN> (wrong com port)
23.47.37 #       <[IDC]Dragon> aha?!
23.47.47 #       <crash_> i think i have now a simulated iriver working, didnt test rockboxui :/
23.48.01 #       <Bagder> hm
23.48.05 #       <crash_> Bagder: you told it would be pissible to see rockbox logo iriver size? :)

23.48.54 #       <crash_> ok its maybe a qarter second ;)
23.49.19 #       <Bagder> crash_: yes, but it is longer in the target and you can see it again when checking version
23.49.26 #       <[IDC]Dragon> are you using uart_boot on Windows?
23.49.36 #       <LinusN> yup
23.49.59 #       <[IDC]Dragon> no Linux port byproduct :-(
23.50.56 #       <LinusN> would have been nice, but my time is extremely limited...
23.51.55 #       <crash_> Bagder: i've seen, nice :)
23.52.07 #       <[IDC]Dragon> no worry, it's not used so often to justify
23.52.07 #       <crash_> crazy how much space left on the iriver display in settings menu
23.52.19 #       <Bagder> yes
23.52.27 #       <Bagder> you can tell the Archos LCD is smaller ;-)
23.52.53 #       <amiconn> LinusN: Are there some scans (or at least front photos) of the iRiver somewhere? (Unstripped of course)

23.56.38 #       <amiconn> unstripped == not stripped :)
23.56.54 #       <amiconn> Hmm, maybe this was unclear
23.57.32 #       <Bagder> hehe
23.57.53 #       <ashridah> amiconn: you mean of the external casing, or of the pcb pre disassembly?

23.58.22 #       <crash_> i could make you one of the h3xx ;)
23.58.32 #       <Bagder> amiconn: I don't think anyone of us has taken/scanned a good photo
