Well I guess better late than never...

I have finally managed to take a closer look at the problem. I ahve
decided to implement a library from scratch. 

So far it can read most of the information on tracks (as opposed to
playlists). Writing is not yet supported. But the library is designed in
a way that makes it possible to update single entries without rewriting
all the whole file. 

I think it might also be a bit faster than the gtkpod implementation.
But I have not measured that. However the test program takes about
127 milliseconds to read a 1779 songs iTunesDB on a 2.4 GHz Pentium 4M
(output piped to /dev/null).

So far the library is only 6480 bytes large (stripped).

So far the lib does not handle converison of the iTunesDB strings
(UTF-16). And I am not sure it should. Basically I am undecided between
not handling conversion (and leaving that part to the app) or converting
everything to UTF-8. The latter has some performance and/or memory usage
advantages. What does everyone else think?

Also please comment on the api. It is not documented to well (a bit of
documentation is in itunesdb.h) but I think it should become pretty
clear by looking at the test program.

You can find the tarball at 
http://www-users.rwth-aachen.de/jens.taprogge/files/libitunesdb_0.1.tar.gz

Best Regards
Jens

PS: Btw. it should be really easy to change the test program to output a
shellscript to create a link-farm.

[Ipodlinux-devel] Building Microwindows

[<av...@ma...>]

I'm having trouble building microwindows.  I follow all the steps 
listed here:

http://ipodlinux.sourceforge.net/forums/viewtopic.php?t=13

I copy the ipod config file over and then try to make.   However I get 
the following error:

Generating keyctrl.c from bitmap file ...
Error: bits per pixel must be 1, 4, 8 or 24
Conversion failed: keyctrl.bmp
make[2]: *** [keyctrl.c] Error 1
make[1]: *** [subdir-nxkbd] Error 2

Any ideas on how to fix this?

[Ipodlinux-devel] Disk caching?

[Terje W. <wie...@sa...>]

I don't know how things are done at the moment, but as far as I can=20
notice, mp3 files are not cached to memory when played by mp3example=20
(correct me if I'm wrong). Anyway, I thought that other programs as well=20
could benefit from a disk cache, and I thought of the following scheme:

- Create a ramdisk at the maximum size we can spare (is 16MB ok?)
- Write a new fopen() function
- This function will check if there is enough space in the ramdisk for th=
e=20
file
    If there is, it is copied there, and a file descriptor is returned fo=
r=20
the new file.
    If not, a file descriptor is simply returned for the original file.
- Write a new fclose() that, if the file is on the ramdisk, deletes the=20
file

Maybe this is totally useless, and that the kernel already has a much=20
better way of handling disk cache, but I do think this could help with th=
e=20
access time for files, and used with the hdparm fix from Jonathan it coul=
d=20
also help battery time.

Just an idea =3D)

Yeah ! Great work :) !
Now you or we can add a symbolic link function into your program like
 Bernard described..
 or we can integrate it into podzilla... it's a choice !

[Ipodlinux-devel] Parsing the itunes DB

[Terje W. <wie...@sa...>]

Hi all

I've managed to port some of the itunesdb functions from the gtkpod=20
project.

It runs under ipodlinux, and parsing my database (around 1600 songs) take=
s=20
~30 sec on the iPod.

So far, it doesn't do anything fancy, other than print the info about eac=
h=20
track, but I suspect it should be quite easy to integrate with for=20
instance podzilla.

The source can be downloaded from=20
http://orz.dyndns.org/stash/parsedb.tar.gz (When looking at the code,=20
please remember I haven't written a line C in about 3 years...)

Happy easter =3D)

[Ipodlinux-devel] Follow-Up: Bootloader issues

[Ronja W. <ro...@wi...>]

Hi,
i was just installing the 2.4.24 release. i noticed that after 
installing it regarding the directions in the readme files that came 
with the 2.4.24 binary release, my apple firmware  refused to play auio 
files again. (i had that problem on my first install with 2.4.20rc2 
too).
i played around with it, and now achieved to get it running with linux 
as default boot.
am i doing something wrong? or is this somehow a known bug? it still 
seems to persist even with the latest files.

Yup, it sure is sensitive ;)  There is some code in CVS that makes it
less so but I was rushed when I was doing the release and it was too
slow on the PC so I just dropped for the release.  It basically needs
some tuning.

The iPod ethernet module is using an old version that is not compatible
with anything but itself.  The reason why we use that one is because it
doesn't require ieee1394 isochronous support which the iPod doesn't have
(hardware restriction).  So basically this code won't ever talk to
anything else.

My current idea is to try a recent eth1394 module (which is compatible
with the MacOS and Windows versions) and then make the minimum mods to
that to get it to work on the iPod.  If any mods are required then it
should be possible to do the same on the MacOS driver (Windows users are
stuck with binary drivers though so no luck there).  We might get lucky
though and we can just remove the iso bits from the iPod and use some
other hacks to make the ARP work...

The problem with this is that it needs 2.6 to work that means anyone
running 2.4 will then be stuck without ethernet (unless both drivers are
somehow included).  The other problem is that I dont run 2.6 on my
development machine....

bern.

Re: [Ipodlinux-devel] iTunesDB import

[Bernard L. <le...@bo...>]

Hi all,

Sorry I haven't been following this thread too closely but hopefully you
guys make some progress on this ;)

I dug up some old code I was working on for reading the itunes library. 
The simple example just reads the iTunes db (in current directory) and
prints out some stuff like file name and track name.  Maybe this would
be easy to hack together to create a simple sim-linker...

Anyhow the code is at
http://ipodlinux.sourceforge.net/download/beta/it-src.tgz.

Extract that, run ./configure && make and it should create a binary
'src/it'.  Copy/link your iTunesDB to the current directory and run that
and it should print out stuff.

It uses the iTunesDB2 library from qahog...

cheers,
bern.

The slowless is almost certainly caused by the gui. Depending on your
settings it is adding the entries in the gui as soon as it is reading
them (IIRC at least). 

Still I fully agree on the in place editing.

I will try to give the iTunesDB a shot tomorrow night. So if it is not

Hi Jens,

last time I looked, the gtkpod iTunesDB code was really slow... on my 
dual 2.4 GHz Xeon that is.  It took about five minutes to parse my 4500 
song db (perhaps the GUI code was slowing things down a bit too).  I 
shiver at the thought of running it on my iPod.  If we ever wanted to 
add playcount updating to podzilla, it would not be too wise either, as 
gtkpod actually re-writes the entire database upon export.  I think the 
way to go is actually a proper db driver implementation - updating 
records in place (or, at least, with a cache mechanism for updates, so 
as to minimise disk access).

I have started work on a playqueue in podzilla - for now I'm going to 
use my own simple d.b. files for browsing songs (to be generated with 
libid3tag on the host).  I am working on the principle of caching up to 
16 MB of the next songs in the playqueue, and actually playing them 
with libmad (rather than forking a sub-process).  (Intel's code is my 
second candidate, but its not GPLed).

When I've gotten that working, I would port the code to the binary 
iTunesDB format, and add play-count updating.
For the time-being, I think Bernards idea of a link farm is the 
quickest way we'll get user-friendly song browsing in podzilla :-).

Cheers,
	Jonathan.

It is REALLY touchy! :)  Maybe have the kernel count consecutive scrolls in

2, 1, etc. so the first few go slowly and then it speeds up as you continue.

Anyway, I would like to see if I can hack the apple ethernet over firewire
to work with the iPod.  The source is available for download.  Bernard,
could you drop me the information for what you had to do to the linux

That is the code I'm working with also. I'm trying to make a wrapper for=20
all the glib types and functions needed, so the code itself doesn't have=20
to be rewritten so much. However, I'm not sure what to do with those pesk=
y=20
UTF strings...

Work has been very slow though, especially after some unfortunate disk=20
crashes courtesy of Partition Magic... Things are finally up and running=20
again now, so I'll see if I get time to look at it one of these days.

I am planing on rewriting the gtkpod itunesDB code so that it does not
depend on glib as soon as I find the time. Which might be in around two
weeks. 

But you are od course welcom to beat me to it. 
The gtkpod code should be a very good basis. It is fairly well tested
and supports most features (rating, playcount, volume adj. jsut to name
a few) and under active development.

Re: [Ipodlinux-devel] iTunesDB import

[Bernard L. <le...@bo...>]

There are also some good(?) libraries already available in C but they are glib
based so need quite a few support libraries that we don't currently use on the
iPod.  A good simple C library would be great!

A simple short term fix would be to use one of these libraries on the host to
create symbolic links between the /iPod_Control/... files and
/music/Artist/Album/Song or something similar.

There is also a perl package that can be used to read the .db files which
might be well-suited to the symbolic link creation task.

Re: [Ipodlinux-devel] iTunesDB import

[Jeffrey H. <jef...@cl...>]

There is VB source code for doing this that I wrote for a windows program
called SharePod.

The website is at http://www25.brinkster.com/carmagt/sharepod/, you can
download the source from there.

It reads all song information, playlists and their contents and the
On-The-Go playlist ;)

Shouldnt be much of a mission to convert the useful bits to C...

Not yet afaik. However, the iTunes DB file format has been reverse
engineered, so it's possible to implement it. Your contribution
is welcome :)

[Ipodlinux-devel] iTunesDB import

[<ic...@co...>]

is there a way to import the iTunes database into the file browser instead of all the crazy f0* directories?

Re: [Ipodlinux-devel] Mounting hda2/playing from vfat harddrive

[Bernard L. <le...@bo...>]

You mean on a win iPod right?  If so sure, just add a mount command to
your /etc/rc:

mount -t vfat /dev/hda2 /mnt

Then you will see the normal iPod music in /mnt/iPod_Control/Music/.

Its a bit of pain to navigate, perhaps a simple hack would be to create
a tool that will symlink from the crazy f01.. directory structure back
to a /muic/artist/albumn/... type structure.  I thought something like
this existed but I haven't seen anything yet.

cheers,
bern.

[Ipodlinux-devel] new kerne and filesystem releases available

[Bernard L. <le...@bo...>]

Hi all,

I have put together a new release of the kernel and root filesystem
based on the linux-2.4.24 version from CVS and current versions of
podzilla and mp3example.

This version of podzilla includes a very basic mechanism to play mp3
files with mp3example - simply navigate with the file browser to a
directory containing a mp3 and select it.  The mp3 will be played with
mp3example (play/pause button to pause, menu button to exit, _no volume
controls are available_).  On exit podzilla will be restarted.

This version also includes the hdparm command to suspend the hard drive
when not in use.

Enjoy!

cheers,
bern.

[Ipodlinux-devel] linux 2.6 port

[Bernard L. <le...@bo...>]

Hi all,

I have just imported the first cut of a port of the linux 2.6 kernel tto
the iPod.  Most things seem to be working but there are still some
problems with IDE & the framebuffer.  There will be at least one more
"release" of the 2.4 kernel for the iPod but then I will start working
on this 2.6 port.

The build this kernel you need a relatively up-to-date toolchain, the
vanilla 2.6.4 kernel the linux.2.6.4-hsc1 patch [1] and the iPod
linux-2.6 module.

1. extract the vanilla kernel
2. apply the -hsc1 patch <http://adam.kaist.ac.kr/~hschoe/>
3. copy updates from the linux-2.6 module in CVS

Enjoy ;)

Please note, the podzilla doesn't unmodified on this kernel at the
moment...

cheers,
bern.

Re: [Ipodlinux-devel] Problem with the bootloader!!

[Bernard L. <le...@bo...>]

Perhaps you got the order of the images wrong and so Linux is the default 
and Apple the alternative (or visa-versa).  You could try using the other 
keys.  The other easy gotcha is the hold key ;)

If nothing works just go to forced disk mode (by holding down fast forward 
and rewind) and redo the installation.

[Ipodlinux-devel] Problem with the bootloader!!

[MacIndian/Perreard M. <Mac...@fr...>]

Somebody who installed ipodlinux yesterday has a ... problem ;-)

When he reset his ipod to switch to Apple firmwar, the bootloader 
doesn't proceed to the switch and boot on Linux.
Impossible to go back.

idea?
