Re: Problem with Windows SDL Sim
Ogg's don't seem to work for some reason in the sim. Every time I try and play one, the sim crashes. Can you try and MP3 and the latest version of the SDL sim code? Thanks, Dan

Just as a note, with the latest SDL sim I can succesfully play FLAC and OGG right now, in windows.On 2/23/06, Dan Everton [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:Ogg's don't seem to work for some reason in the sim.

A Tracker on the Move
Hey Stop using the sourceforge tracker *now*. All data is being translated. New tracker being announced very soon. -- Daniel Stenberg -- http://www.rockbox.org/ -- http://daniel.haxx.se/
Re: Audio during USB?
On the iPods, Rockbox doesn't even handle USB access at all yet.

New tracker for bugs, patches and feature requests
Hi all. Today we have migrated to a new issue tracking system called Flyspray. This means the Sourceforge trackers are no longer used, and for that purpose I have hidden them in the sourceforge project. The new tracker is faster and better in most ways than the previous, and since it's a local installation we also have the possibility of patching it to perform exactly as we want. In addition to moving over all the old data, all user accounts have also moved over to the new system. This means that if you have a Sourceforge account, you should not register a new user in Flyspray. Rather you should use the Lost password? link in the top right corner to reset your password. (It sends a mail with a link to your username@users.sourceforge.net address.) -- Björn
Re: WPS
I think the general opinion is that we want to introduce a viewport system. It would be a way to specify a series of boxes for the WPS. Each box would have a x,y,width,height (pixel-based) and a font. Within each box, the given text is line-based. Scrolling only takes place within a box. That sounds good. Is anybody working on this already (or planning to)? I would also vote for allowing text/bitmaps to be overlayed on background graphics. Related, blending would be nice too, but maybe too CPU intensive? All stuff I've coded before, so might look into it. 4bit? At the moment the WPS code already supports all 4 shades that the H120 screen can display. I'm guessing he meant 4-shades rather than 4-bit. Right, I misread the hardware specs. I see 8bit grayscale bmps actually work, great (although 4bit bmps would take less disk space?). So anti-aliased fonts are already possible? If yes I might look into updating a few. I was also thinking about displaying album artwork, maybe when you first enter a folder, or after some period of inactivity (optionally of course) - it won't look great in 4 shades, but with dithering could still be interesting, plus the same code can be used on colour displays. Has that come up before? -- gl
Re: WPS
That sounds good. Is anybody working on this already (or planning to)? Various people seem to work on different aspects of this, but I don't know of anyone that actually tries to make the whole concept as I described it here. OK, if anybody wants to use my design to test with, let me know. I would also vote for allowing text/bitmaps to be overlayed on background graphics. This already works on the color LCD targets. I'll look into adding it for grayscale. Related, blending would be nice too, but maybe too CPU intensive? Most probably, yes. Of course you can always try it out and see how fast/slow it gets. Check. So anti-aliased fonts are already possible? No, our font format is (still) mono only. I'll take a look at that too (at some point : ). Nicolas P works on this: http://www.rockbox.org/bugs/task/3045 Thanks Daniel. -- gl
Re: WPS
Well, at the moment the bitmap loader only works on 1, 8, and 24bit images if I understand correctly, so one saved as 4-bit would *probably* either just fail or result in some garbled mess.

RE: Problem with Windows SDL Sim
Ok, tried again (this mornings CVS) and both OGG and MP3 failed the same... I then did a 'Make Clean' andupdated to current CVS,MAKE thenfailed with and error in sound.c !! As some changes have been committed regarding MAKE,I decided to re-run ../tools/configure Build still failed as above I then deleted the SDL directory and updated to current CVS (again), This time it compiled correctly, and both OGG and MP3 play fine!!

Archos special build
I am trying to find a host web site for my special build of Rockbox 2.5 for Archos, with enhanced Recent Bookmarks - display and voice. This would make it more widely available and give me feedback on its usefulness to the Rockbox community. Would the developers mind if I created a wiki page on the Rockbox site and hosted my special build there?
Re: Audio during USB?
oh, sorry.. by works fine i mean if it wasnt turned of in the code it would work (i have edited the radio code so it keeps playing when usb is plugged) On 24/02/06, Manuel Dejonghe [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: On 2/23/06, gl [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Interesting.

Re: Audio during USB?
Sound routing, eh ? I got no clue at all if the internal wirings would/do allow this. Ah, well. If the hardware is able to record from fm, then it should be possible. silly me. No, what I meant was record from the radio and send that to the optical out... come to think of it, that would require full-duplex capability which I asked about before, but didn't get an answer. Can the H1x0's do it? -- gl
Re: Audio during USB?
well.. you could always record from the radio and then play the music from the recording which i guess would go through the optical out. ? On 24/02/06, gl [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Sound routing, eh ?

Here's _my_ view of it: In general I have no problem with hosting custom things in the wiki. But, when it comes to custom/alternative Rockbox builds and things like that I hesitate. The reason for my hesitation is that when we start offering these builds from rockbox.org, people will assume that they are true products of the project and that they are official and supported. I have no problems with people building and offering customized Rockbox builds, but I don't want such builds to be mistaken for official Rockbox builds. -- Daniel Stenberg -- http://www.rockbox.org/ -- http://daniel.haxx.se/
