Crossfade option - bug?

2006-04-20 Thread Steve Bavin
Hi,

When Crossfade is set to Always or Track Skip Only, should Rockbox use
crossfade when skipping playback to the next track (i.e. using the right
button)?

With the H300 CVS build, this doesn't happen with a forward (or reverse)
skip, although if I manually go back to the playlist and select the next (or
any other) track that way, I do get a crossfade (albeit with a glitch as the
WPS is redisplayed that Brandon's hopefully aware of!).

My crossfade configuration is:
Enable Crossfade: Track Skip Only
Fade-In Delay: 0s
Fade-In Duration: 1s
Fade-Out Delay: 0s
Fade-Out Duration: 2s
Fade-Out Mode: Crossfade

If this is a bug, let me know and I'll put it on Flyspray (unless it gets
fixed in the meantime!).

Re: FMR ucl directory and TagCache issues

   which probably shouldnt be there any more.

 Yes, some items need to be cleaned up before release.

 Regards, Jens

I would suggest to put the Tagcache and dircache options together. For
instance in system/caching

When someone is doing this, please consider to put the sleep timer a
little bit closer to the root, i think it is to deep inside the menu
structure and isn't a system option like for instance disk and
battery either.



Re: Crossfade option - bug?

2006-04-20 Thread Brandon Low
Happening with the latest?  I know there was a bug that caused crossfade
to never engage on manual skips for a short while.  As for a bug with
the WPS display, Im not aware of any such.  Please report these issues
on the SoftwareCodecPlayback wiki page if they are indeed alive and
kicking.

Personally I can't see Tag Cache as a cache at all so bundling the dircache 
(which I do view as a cache) with Tag Cache like that would feel highly 
unintuitive to me.


I actually propose we call the feature tagdb, trackdb or something like that.

Oh yes they are. The upgrade firmwares are (at least in the X5* cases)

:-D What do you use to disasm it, IDA? Hmm, the free version of IDA 
doesn't support the ColdFire chip, I'm afraid...



Keys? Do you mean decryption keys?
Sorry, bad use of words on my behalf. I meant buttons. Having Rockbox 
without being able to read/scan buttons is... a bit lacking! ;-)



:-D

It would indeed not be very convenient to have to ssh into the thing to 
skip tracks... ;-)


Ie, we cannot in fact destroy the player by flashing a bad firmware on 
it. At least not to my knowledge. Don't feel obliged to prove me 
wrong! ;-)


If you don't mind, I'll leave that to someone else. ;-) This certainly 
sounds like fun (so far all I did was porting Linux to WinCE-only 
terminal devices http://winterm.gaast.net/, but it involved quite a 
lot of reverse-engineering already)!


BTW, we should probable take further develop speak to the rockbox-dev 
list instead...



Done!

So now all I have to do is actually *buy* an M5. I just wanted to make 
sure that I really don't need an X5. And well, if it doesn't work, at 
least I hope the people at Cowon make better firmware than iRiver does 
(at least for the iMP player, for example the iMP-550 had a habit of 
randomly skipping some specific Ogg tracks when played in a playlist 
(or something similar), while in fact it could play them very well if 
you select the track manually).


Having open-source firmware on a music player really sounds good to me. 
Like phones, music players always do something wrong, and at last now I 
got the chance to fix it. ;-)


Thanks for all the information, and I hope to give some information 
back soon then! :-D
