Recording Enhancements Pack

[Davide-NYC]

FANTASTIC!!!!

The R.E.P. build is fantastic! Who do I petition to have it commited?
I don;'t know much about the open source developement process, but I'd like to voice my enthusiasm to the powers that be (or commit as it were).

Man, very very cool.

Thanks so much to all those involve in the R.E.P..

[Mmmm]

Cheers...There are two of us that currently have work in the R.E.P, Me (remote support) and Vinylivo (AGC).

To be committed each little bit has to be done at a time. I have a separate patch that just implements the remote support that is ready for committing http://www.rockbox.org/tracker/task/4818.

Vinylivo has his AGC patch on the tracker too which incorporates a number of different features (so may not be so committable in its present state...who knows?)
http://www.rockbox.org/tracker/task/4748.

It is just a case of getting on IRC and going on and on about it until someone buckles and says they will have a look at it! (A bit tedious i know )

Unfortunately the devs with CVS access that are into recording are few and far between (petur being the only one I know of and he doesn't have a remote, so the chances are small )

We just have to be patient, keep nagging and keep those fingers crossed! 

PS. Does anybody have a digital camera that they can use to take a pic of the remote recording screen so I can put it in post#1? As you can see, my effort is awful! 

[Mmmm]

WOW....The remote support has just been committed.....Yippeeeeeeeeeeeeee

So now it is just Vinylivo's patch left.....

We've come a long way eh? 

The rest of the day must be spent in the pub methinks.....

Congrats...that's awesome news!  It must be a good feeling to see the culmination of all your efforts over the last few months.

Are you going to get bored now?

Good news.. But now I guess we need a separate AGC patch again?! As the two were sortof intermixed ..

yes, it's a great feeling, I'm on a super high at the moment....

Are you going to get bored now?

Heh heh..no, I'm going to retire to a place where there is no electricity so that I'm not tempted to code any more, and get some guitar practice in (learning to code is not good for guitar practice!  ).

Yep, Vinylivo may want to do that, or maybe you could as you had a bit of success with this sort of thing earlier... 

[paulheu]

I've been looking at it.. Bit it seems that what's commited means we also loose big fonts in the recording screen..

It appears that this is just a bit too much for me to fix (right now) and as I want to keep both AGC and the big fonts I guess I'll have to stay away from CVS updates for the time being and stick with my latest build. No big deal as where I am now works for me ..

[Mmmm]

Ok, I've updated the patch...I had forgotten about the fonts thing! 

Patch in Post#1 should now work with latest CVS...

Oh and I won't be needing that photo any more seeing as the patch has been committed now 

[paulheu]

Cool.. just did a completely new experimental build with the new patch (and some more..) for H3x0

[Mmmm]

Updated build/patch to latest CVS (to include tagcache)

To the developers in this thread: I'm harrassing a mate of mine to have a crack at implementing optical recording.

Do you have any tips to make his life easier?  I've pointed him @ recording.c and the s/pdif analyser. Is there anything else you can think of that may help him out?

[Davide-NYC]

So let me get this straight...

The WRS (while recording screen) and the remote has been committed to the regular rockbox build, but not the AGC patch (yet).

Also the regular rockbox build has files for all targets, while your build has just the H120 files as well as AGC.

Assuming all of that is correct I would never install the regular build as long as you specialized build is available.

I need to learn to compile this thing before you decide not to provide this awesome little service here.   

Thanks again for adding so much to an already super cool device.

what's the state of AGC?
- does it work ok
- on what devices does it run
- does the patch build for all targets

As there will be a feature freeze on april 4, I might try to get it into version 3.0

Oh yes, that would be awesome!

It seems to work ok on h140, I haven't tried compiling for anything else... Vinylivo, who wrote it, seems to have disappeared for a while and I'm not sure whether he tested it or not, he said he was going to.

I haven't really looked at the code in any detail so I don't really know much about it... The balance indicator seems to have weird lines that appear on it but I'm not really sure what it is supposed to do, so maybe it's supposed to do that!

There are really a number of changes in the patch. They are:

i) AGC
ii) Battery meter/warning
iii) Disk space meter/warning
iv) Histogram
v) Fonts

So you might want them separating before a commit. We need to PM vinylivo I think!
