Rockbox

this is an attempt to implement the idea suggested in the forum (http://forums.rockbox.org/index.php?topic=20120.0).
I take values from “skip length” setting for variable steps.

I put up the three patches (before they expire on pastebin.com) that correspond to the three proposals of how the behaviour of PREV/NEXT could/should be changed. Note that only the situation described in the “subject” of this task is considered and changed.

The IRC discussion is at http://www.rockbox.org/irc/log-20090406#21:35:42

The start of the discussion on the mail list is at http://www.rockbox.org/mail/archive/rockbox-dev-archive-2009-04/0057.shtml

The aim of this patch is to make releases as simple as possible... i.e the end goal would be to have someone run “$ ~/rockbox/tools/release/release.sh 3.3” and that would do everything except feed the cat...

the first version just modifies bins.pl to accept a version number which eventually gets passed to the Makefile and used in the source to set the version string in the source to “3.x-rBLAAA”.

This also defines RBRELEASE which can be used in the source to do stuff, for example, remove the debug menu in releases (if we decide to do that...) (RELEASE is defined in speex so had to add the RB prefix...)

Also, this changes the way configure is run to use command line args instead of passing input to it which is Just Wrong (TM) :p

Build 21245

I have ''Start Screen' set to 'Resume Playback'.

When connecting the Ipod (from OFF) to the PC the Ipod boots and USB mode starts but also playback (the play > sign is display on the title bar).

The Ipod is not shows and not mounted on the PC.

On disconnecting USB I get 'data abort' and have to hard reset.

When adding text via the keyboard, neither the selection function nor the done function work using the remote play button. Pressing 'play' on the main unit however, does work and has the correct behaviour.

I checked the keymap-m3.c source and I noticed that unlike the other entires, the last entry for these options refers to the main unit buttons and not the remote:

{ ACTION_KBD_SELECT, BUTTON_RC_PLAY|BUTTON_REL, BUTTON_PLAY },
{ ACTION_KBD_DONE, BUTTON_RC_PLAY|BUTTON_REPEAT, BUTTON_PLAY },

I changed the entries to the following:

{ ACTION_KBD_SELECT, BUTTON_RC_PLAY|BUTTON_REL, BUTTON_RC_PLAY },
{ ACTION_KBD_DONE, BUTTON_RC_PLAY|BUTTON_REPEAT, BUTTON_RC_PLAY },

After rebuilding and installing this change onto my M3 the keybord now works when using the remote.

Attached is the patch file for this change.

This patch adds does three related things:

- Adds *basic* support for seeking and buffering callbacks so different codecs may manage their buffer space differently
- Extends a few buffering and metadata structures to store information on two files rather than one
- Modifies the Wavpack codec to make use of these features to play back hybrid files with readable correction files losslessly.

This code should not in any way interfere with anything other than the situation where a Wavpack hybrid file is present AND its correction file is readable.

There are several things that need to be done before this patch may be committed:
1. Currently there are two ginormous linear buffers inside the Wavpack codec. They should be replaced with smaller dissimilarly-sized ring buffers.
2. The interspersal of primary and correction file chunks is currently 1/1/1/1. This should probably be more like 1/3/1/3 as that better matches the size rations of a .wv to its .wvc.
3. seek_wavpack needs to support seeking where rebuffering is required.
4. The wavpack hybrid decoding function needs to be modified to decode smaller chunks in a go so that the small ring buffers mentioned above won’t overflow.
5. Gracefully handle the end of a hybrid lossless file (currently it freezes the sim)

Add support for two new scroll styles, STYLE_NODRAW and STYLE_CUSTOM, with STYLE_CUSTOM causing the draw to be done via a hook (set with lcd_set_style_hook). lcd_puts_stroll_style_offset also returns a struct scrollinfo pointer. This may be used in conjunction with STYLE_NODRAW to redraw the scrolling text in a plugin which draws other graphics to the same part of the screen, by drawing the text using the offset in the struct scrollinfo after the background graphics have been drawn. My latest patch from  FS#4817  is required, as it consolidates styled text drawing in one function, making it easier to replace the normal draw with a call to the hook, and reducing the binsize impact of this feature as well.

Support for core text scrolling in PictureFlow plugin to follow .

The attached patch enables simultaneous buffering of multiple files in a minimally intrusive way. It also contains code to allow the playback of Wavpack hybrid files, both lossy and lossless. In the event that a Wavpack file is not a hybrid file, only original code paths are used. This patch will not affect users who do not use this file type.

How it works:
A handle may now be marked as "chunky". If a handle is so marked, adding a new handle will NOT reserve space in the buffer for the remaining portion of the file. Instead only a small amount of space (currently 2*BUFFERING_DEFAULT_FILECHUNK) is reserved. Additional checking is also added to ensure that buffer_handle will not allow one handle to overflow into another; in the event that a handle's widx would cross into the next handle's header, the handle is "extended" by calling add_handle a second time and linking from the original via file_next. Thus, there are two paths to iterate from a "chunky" handle - the next handle in the buffer layout (h→next), or the next handle containing data from the same file (h→file_next).

Key new methods:
extend_handle: used to create more space for a handle which is active but would overlap its successor if widx were advanced
clean_handle: remove pieces of a handle marked as "invalid", but don't remove the whole handle (as close_handle does)
bufopenchunky: as bufopen, but for a chunky handle
finish_handle: reserves either some or all space for a handle in the buffer
finish_chunky_handles: finishes all chunky handles

What works:
- Playback of lossless hybrid mono and stereo files in the sim functions mostly as expected. Occasional segfaults may occur - these are probably a thread safety issue. Trying on a unicore target would be productive.
- The functionality of any of rockbox other than hybrid wavpack files is not impaired
- Playback on an iPod 5.5G works as well, but is not yet real-time (apparently the hard disk isn't fast enough to buffer both files and keep up with playback, so priority should be given to the .wv file to fix this)
- Buffer space utilization is very efficient, the only waste is caused by the 300 bytes per struct memory_handle created. This could be minimized by only storing ridx, widx, and data in a minimal memory handle and copying the rest of the information to file_next as necessary (this is how open file descriptors are currently handled)

What doesn't work:
- Seeking does not always work, although seeks not requiring a rebuffer are usually OK (even those which must cross into file_next!). Especially unlikely to work is backwards seeking. This is because the Wavpack codec uses approximate seeking, which is fine when you don't have to worry about only one file but falls apart when you need to have the same block in both the wv and wvc files.
- Segmentation faults, especially at the end of very large hybrid files. These are almost all caused by the Wavpack codec in apps/codecs/libwavpack/words.c's response to reading extra 0 bytes. Wavpack does not check the validity of wvbits.ptr before reading from it! When combined with any error at all in the buffering code, or even any corruption in the input files, this leads to a segfault! There are also some issues in the original Rockbox buffering code. For example, in rebuffer_handle, h→next is used without first holding llist_mutex. This is a thread safety issue. On top of these, there's a bounds check I've missed somewhere in apps/buffering.c which can cause buffer corruption.

Most of the Wavpack decoding methods here were ported from those on http://wavpack.com with minor modifications. These files are under the GPL.

This patch contains commented printf statements as partial documentation and in case someone wishes to trace the flow of execution in the simulator.

This is a very early patch to enable USB on the mini2440.

This patch let rockbox react on USB, but unfortunatly i dont get further then the first reset interrupt from USB. Something in the init has to be wrong, so i dont get ep0 interrupt which should follow the reset.

Because of this problems, no attempt has been made to implement the acutal data transfer functions.

If someone wants to step in and debug.. feel free !

Build is r23841 and earlier.

Occasionally when I reboot to the iPod firmware, something has caused the previously unset alarm setting to be enabled and the playback mode is set to shuffle. This doesn't happen with every reboot, but does more than 50% of the time.

Steps to duplicate:

1. Disable the alarm and set the shuffle mode to "None" in the iPod firmware.
2. Reset and boot into Rockbox
3. Listen to a few tracks
4. Reboot into the iPod firmware and check the shuffle mode and alarm settings.

I can't confirm 100% yet as to the time on the alarm being reset as well, but it does seem to consistently read 6 AM - which is a bit of a shock if I've been listening in Rockbox during the day and then I reboot into the Apple firmware and dock in my iHome, expecting to sleep in late on the weekend.

Duplicate table and some text found in manual/main_menu/main.tex in section Recent Bookmarks, and in manual/configure_rockbox/bookbarking.tex in section Bookmarking.

These duplicate code sections should be joined, and the two files should share it.

This patch enables changing the fractal's colors.

Currently, not all targets have proper keymaps defined. This is a work in progress.

I would appreciate any comments.

I like to keep the equalizer on with the precut set to -24db, as a volume limiter. I also like the fade on stop/pause set on. When I pause there is a noticeable ‘click’ sound after the music fades out. Also a click before fading in when I resume.

This was not always the case, but I am not sure how old the version I was using, that did not do this.

By the way, this also occurs on the Gigabeat S, as well as Gigabeat F. I don’t know about other models.

Let me know if you need more information.

This is a first attempt at creating an entry for the new fft plugin. The button table was automatically generated with the attached python script.

The script takes a file (or - for stdin), looks for an #ifdef CONFIG_KEYPAD….#endif block and if it finds one (and it is relatively simple), it parses it and creates the corresponding LaTeX table.

The script is extremely simple but it does provide a good basis for further work.

rockbox 3.5: ipod doesn’t recognize the connection of usb. i understand that rockbox doesn’t support usb on a 3G ipod, but it would be nice to boot into disk-mode like it does for firewire.

Currently with r24775-100219 on a Gigabeat 20
Checked that it isn’t something to do with the HDD
sometimes after USB transfer or just right after startup, after pressing “Resume playback” it just halts there,showing the album art and sometimes you can change songs/volume but it isn’t playing,then it just freezes and you cannot control anything that needs to be turned off via power switch, and sometimes it requires certain trials before it can normally startup and play.
Additionally, if that happens during startup, it is noticeable that a normal startup produces sort of a background noise,while a buggy startup is simply silent in my headphone.

Screenshots in the manual are nested into a 'figure' environment, but the only purpose of this is to be able to have a caption. The floating feature of 'figure' by using the placement attribute 'H' (='Here!').

This patch makes screenshots non-floating while keeping captions below the images. This is done via the LaTeX package 'caption2'.

Placement attribute for figures is set back to the LaTeX default so that figures can really float should we need it.

When Playing with rockboy on sansa e200 V1 , Rom that have a size of more than 1m Bug and Rockbox often shutdown. And even if these roms run, the speed isn't playable.

This adds the translatable string LANG_DISC for display in WPS themes. E.g. a theme could use the following to show “Disc 2” for a multidisc album:

%?ik<%Sx|Disc| %ik|>

Disc is a 4 or 5 letter word in most languages, so it won’t add much clutter in themes which would like to make use of this. A comparable example is the “Next:” (LANG_NEXT) which is used when displaying the next track in a playlist.

This patch wil allow the use of the power key to respond yes in the yes&no screen, cause if in absolute touch screen mode would be impossible to respond yes.
It also will enable the hotkey option.
Italian and english translation for the yes&no.

A couple of config file options are missing from the manual appendix:

e.g.

backlight fade in: 2000
backlight fade out: 10000

This patch enables display vsync on the iPod Nano 2G, currently only for the Type 1 (LDS176) display. It removes tearing and can make animation smoother. However, right now it uses an extremely CPU-unfriendly method of waiting for synchronization, which makes the display quite slow in some circumstances. I hope to implement DMA to copy the framebuffer, which should help somewhat. However, I am probably going to need some help to do this.

TheSeven gets all the credit for this patch, since he found where the Tearing Effect (vblank) signal was connected to the s5l8701 and wrote the vsync code. All I did was drop it into the display driver in the right spot.

This patch adds an option to allow the Fastforward/Rewind buttons to be used to skip tracks entirely.

This is an itch of mine that I scratched and am offering up to others if you are interested.

I’ve been using audio lessons to learn Japanese and ran into issues navigating with the normal FF/RW buttons. The acceleration based on track length left me with no sense of time since I don’t keep track of how far I am into my 30 minute long lessons. Simply backing up 5 seconds to catch something I missed was a problem because I’d have to look at what I was doing to see how far I’d ff/rw. Kinda hard when one tick moves 30 seconds too. This is problematic when driving! The existing skip-length feature is really good for this. However, if I use that to skip 5 second increments then I abandon any way of skipping entire tracks. So I re-purposed the FF/RW buttons for skipping tracks and use skip-length for navigating within a track.

I’ve been using this in r27841 for about a week on my Gigabeat, but it seems like it should work for r27942 as well.

This patchs modifies the simulator so that it can emulate the storage layer. More preciserly, it enables all the storage code and simply redirect all storage_{read,write, …} to a file. This way, all fs functions used are the one of rockbox, which allows to debug the FAT code for example.

To run this, apply the patch and modify the makefile to add this: -DROCKBOX_SIMULATE_STORAGE_LAYER
to the line:
export GCCOPTS=….

When running the simulator, it expects to read from file simdisk.raw. You can change this by using the –root option:
./rockboxui –root <file>

The code doesn’t work for me, FAT code seems to choke on something for now, I’m not sure why.

r28528

This adds a bitmap to be shown as the output of the 3 modes of the calculator, similar to the color-codes on the color targets, except that it is a static image for the greyscale targets. Might as well use the screen space for something.

I think I have experienced a bug in 3.7+ builds with WPS themes related to %Vf.
If you put the %Vf on a new line, the following text is displayed, then cleared, but only if its a scrolling line, if the first line is static it is displayed properly, and subsequent lines are also displayed properly even if they are scrolling

example:

%Vl(b,0,108,176,60,1)
%Vf(999999)
%s%ac%?Ia<%Ia|>
%s%ac%?It<%It|%Fn>

artist is displayed briefly then cleared, if you take out %s artist is displayed properly, if you put the %Vf on the same line with %vl artist is displayed properly with scrolling, if you put a static text line before the first %s line then all lines are displayed properly.

so my quick fix is to just move the %vf on the line with %vl, but this bug probalby breaks many WPS, also this worked before 3.7, not sure when it stopped working. Tested this bug with latest build:r28534-101108 and 3.7 release sansa e200 v1. (also with latest e200 simulator)

this bug was not in builds up to or prior to: r27944-100830

URGENT/HIGH PRIORITY: Rockbox Firmware 3.7 installed with iRiver H300 1.29J.

Charging when in Rockbox mode (player switched on):

When Rockbox is running and the charger is plugged in, Rockbox can be seen charging the battery in the top left hand corner. When it is fully charged, it shows a full battery.

Charging when iRiver is powered off (player switched off):

When the charger is plugged in, the iRiver begins charging in Original Firmware mode. This is okay as the player charges correctly until Complete.

Booting into OF mode, shows a full battery charge so I can be sure it is fully charged.

However, boot back into Rockbox mode and Rockbox seems to be misreporting the battery charge as depleted - I say misreporting because at this point I know it is actually full/complete. (Booting back into OF mode would also confirm again at this point that there is indeed a full battery charge).

But run Rockbox 3.7 and after a few minutes, a false message - "Low Battery - Shutting Down" appears, after which Rockbox powers off.

I know this is inccorect, because if the battery was so low in OF, the iRiver OF would not even allow you to attempt to power back on (instead it would display a "Low Battery" picture on the display), but I can boot back into OF mode easily with no problems even after this message from Rockbox, again the OF shows a full battery and I can run it for hours with no problem so I know somewhere here there must be a miscommunication/misreading from the battery charge to the Rockbox 3.7 firmware.

Have tested this a number of times to ensure it is a fault and yes it presents itself everytime.

When a WPS defines a touch area combining %T and setting_inc or setting_dec, although the themesite parser does not show any problems and allows the theme to be loaded normally, the themesite doesn't display the theme.

This patch applies to the tools used to generate voice files and talk clips. It adds basic support for the free SVox Pico speech synthesizer, which is the default speech system on Android phones, and is also available on Linux and Windows. Support for this synthesizer is very basic, because the pico2wave utility used to generate wav files of synthesized speech lacks the ability to set speed, pitch, volume, etc. This patch has so far only been tested for English, although several other languages are supported by the synthesizer. Note that you will need the SVox Pico synthesizer installed on your system. On Ubuntu 10.10 and most recent Debian-based systems, installing libttspico-utils should automatically pull down the correct files. This patch hasn't been tested on Windows, but it should work if pico2wave.exe is in your path.

To build voice files using SVox Pico, apply this patch and run

tools/configure –type=AV

Then select your target from the list. The rest of the defaults should be fine, but be sure to type "p" when the script asks for the TTS engine to use. Then run

make voice

and copy the .voice file into .rockbox/langs. The next time you start Rockbox, you should hear your voice prompts spoken using SVox Pico.

To generate talk clips for filenames and directories using SVox Pico, apply the patch and run

tools/voice.pl -C -s=pico -S= -e=rbspeexenc -E= <directory you want spoken>

Your talk files will be generated recursively in the directory you specify. All _dirname.talk and .talk files that correspond to individual files will be generated, with the exception of the _dirname.talk file for the top level directory you specified.

Please test this patch and provide any feedback you have. Thanks.

Bomberman like game with ai.
Not finished yet - lots of bugs and things to be done are known :)
Tested on Cowon D2 and also on some simulators with the same screen size (will work on other screen sizes too, but not now).
Somebody test it on iPod Video and on Zen Vision:M please.
Any suggestions greatly appreciated!
Hope the patch will work…

3.7.1, r29372, tested on Sansa e270

The idea is that when connected via USB, devices with button/wheel lights will indicate disk activity using the light, similar to a USB flash drive.

This works, sort of.
One real problem has been encountered:
The calls to buttonlight_on() and _off() seem to override the backlight_timeout_plugged setting, preventing the backlight from shutting off when this is enabled.

decode_packet in wmaprodec.c returns -1 almost immediately, most likely due to being passed corrupted data by the ASF parser, although I have not confirmed that to be the case. I've seen similar issues in WMA Std. Theres probably some ASF feature we do not correctly implement.

Split out from  FS#11748 .

This patch adds an option to prevent rewinding to the beginning of a track to avoid losing the current playback and resume position by accidentally pressing the Left key. Instead, Left always directly skips back to the previous track. This behavior can be enabled for all tracks or only for those tracks that can be autoresumed on automatic track change (which already is separately configurable).

I'm dropping this patch here for now because I see little chance right now of this being accepted into the trunk. Some developers have complained about the considerable configuration complexity of autoresume as it is, and although this additional behavior can be convenient, there is no ultimate need for it because the resume position prior to the rewind to 0:00 is preserved as long as another skip occurs within the first 15 seconds of the rewound track's playback (for example, by pressing Left again to skip to the previous track).

This change was originally contributed by Dave Slusher in  FS#11748 . I just added the configuration logic.

Patch relative to r29484.

Scrolling the scrollwheel doesn't count as a button press for the Textviewer plugin's idle Timeout.

Hi,

the random_folder_advance_config plugin fails to build the
folders on N900 / RaaA. I guess it suffers from the same
as the database update did in the past: It probably follows
starts over and over again in the /proc or /sys filesystem.

If you build RaaA for SDL with HAVE_TOUCHSCREEN disabled there are no key bindings for the SDL_PAD in any of the plugins. This patch attempts to define generic key mappings for the 3×3 number pad on a typical PC keyboard. It needs work however. For instance, after a bit of testing I decided I’d prefer not to wait for a key repeat on the HOME button to quit most of the plugins. That said, it may prove a useful starting point developers building for RaaA platforms without a mouse or touchscreen. (Like me with the zipit.)

For the Zipit I plan to fix up the generic SDL keys first, testing on a real PC, and then try and figure out a way to use most of them as is. I’m not sure yet if it makes sense to define a ZIPIT_PAD for the few plugins where alternative keys make sense, or use some other #ifdef.

This occurs on Stable 3.8.1 and all builds currently up to Tuesday, May 10, 2011 (r29850-110510).

When my iPod 3G is powered on with no song in the queue to be resumed, and the "resume Playback" item is selected, the screen flickers, the quick glimpse of the selected Now Playing theme can be seen (for me, DancePuffDuo, but also confirmed for every other one I've tried) and it returns me back to the Main Menu without any warning… just an abrupt return.

I've reinstalled stable as well as various builds leading up to the date above and all have the same effect.

The way to reproduce this bug is to Play a single song from the database that is by itself (in the artist/album category of your choosing, or, the last song in an artist/album grouping) and then, after it is done playing and returns you to the database or main menu, shut down and restart Rockbox. Select the Resume Playback item on the Main Menu. The screen should flicker and abruptly return you to the Main Menu without any warning that there is nothing to resume playing.

This bug does not reproduce with the iPod 3G simulator with 05/10/2011's build (r29850-110510).

Player: iPod Video 5th Gen. (5.5)
Rockbox Release v. 3.9 downloaded/installed 06/28/2011

Accessory: Griffin iFM Radio Receiver for iPhone and iPod - has a doc connector, short cable to a "dongle" which is the FM tuner, with earphone jack on the dongle. No batteries or other power source.

Here's a link to the product's Amazon page:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003ERT46W

Booting into Apple firmware
1. Turned player on with nothing plugged in, the "Radio" menu item does not show up. Plugged in the Griffin iFM, the "Radio" menu item shows up, and when I select it, I get the FM frequency and dial, I can tune it, it works. I did not have to download anything at all from the Apple iTunes store.

2. Turned player on with iFM plugged in - the "Radio" menu item shows up, and from there it all works as above.

Booting into Rockbox OS 1. Turned player on with nothing plugged in, then plugged the iFM on the dock connector, the "FM Radio" item never shows up.

2. Turned player on with iFM plugged in, still no "FM Radio" on the menu.

3. Went into System then Debug then FM Radio - got message: "HW Detected: no"

So Rockbox does not detect it at all. And there's no sense expecting that any Apple/iTunes software would do anything under Rockbox.

What's interesting is, that with the player off (under both Apple and Rockbox OS), if I only plug in the Griffin iFM to the dock connector, and do nothing else, the player turns on. So there must be some kind of hardware detection there.

Actual behavior:

1. FM Tuner option never shows up on main menu (whether powering up with FM Tuner plugged in, or plugging in after power up).

2. When player is OFF, connecting the FM Tuner to the dock port turns on the player.

3. In System/Debug/FM Tuner, "HW Detected" is always "no"

Expected behavior:
1. Expected the FM Tuner option to be available on the main menu (at least when booting with the accessory plugged in to the dock port) as described in the manual.

2. Expecting to be able to tune in to FM stations and play at least through the tuner's headphones connector, if not through the player's headphones connector. Other features (displaying song information, presets, etc.) are secondary (to me).

The attached patch fixes a minor compiler warning on 64 bit platforms.

Continuing from FS#12240, these patches remove most of the rest of the dependencies librbcodec has on the rest of Rockbox.

Can't set the time of day clock

started at SVN R29234 and continues to current build.
all the builds work in the simulators but break on player.
when you enter in the settings to set clock it shows correct date but shows

00:00:00

and you can change it but it will not set returns you to settings menu and you get

1. -:–:–

built fresh svn versions each time to confirm when it started

see http://svn.rockbox.org/viewvc.cgi?view=rev;revision=30461 and http://www.rockbox.org/wiki/Main/CustomWPS#Drawing_the_lists_using_a_skin and bug me on IRC when someone finds the time to add it. hopefully the wiki has enough info though - Jd

By default logf() will output to the serial port if that is enabled (HAVE_SERIAL). This is kind of distracting if logf() is used to debug serial communication itself.

The attached patch does the following:
- make logf() only output to serial if LOGF_SERIAL is defined (defaults to undef)
- adds an advanced configure option to enable LOGF_SERIAL

The patch is against r30429.

1. tested devices: Samsung Galaxy Tab 7" and Android 2.3.3 AVD
2. tested revision: custom r30556 and rasher's unmodified r30562

3. condition: goto home screen by pressing 'Home button', then return to rockbox

4. symptom : any action that calls yesno screen(rename, delete, or 'Erase dynamic playlist', etc) will make rockbox unresponsible.
The only thing I can do is go to home screen then kill rockbox service.

5. If I go to home screen from main menu by 'Back button', the problem doesn't occur.

On build 30622 and previous builds, there is an issue with resuming playback.

When "Resume Playback" is selected from the menu, you transition into the music control screen but there is no output aside from some crackling noises.

Occasionally, the song would play for half a second before silencing.

The play/pause button during this situation shows a pause symbol which suggests that the song is supposed to play. However, the song progress bar remains at 0:00.

Currently on Cyanogenmod 7.1 nightly, Android version 2.3.5.

Our tick timer eats CPU even when the app is closed and music is stopped. To fix this, I added a tick_pause() and tick_resume() to kernel-android.c, to be called from java when appropriate.

I've figured out where to call pause, but the current location of resume is inadequate. The app wakes up to a black screen.

A clue, anyone?
