Recording Enhancements Pack
petur:
Well I'm not very interested as I still have HD space left and would only care about a lossless encoder. Before Rockbox worked on my h340, I always hated the fact that it would only record mp3 and not some better quality.
But I agree it should get included for others who have use for it (recording lectures, ...)
We also need to do the whole rtc alarm stuff so recording can be programmed. But that probably won't be for the h1x0 series as they don't have an rtc (iirc)
Mmmm:

No clock on the h1xx but instead of being able to set the time at which it starts recording, how about a countdown timer? So you could set it to start recording in 3 hours time or something. Of course this would only work if the unit was on for those three hours.

That sounds great. And what would be brilliant would be to have the DAP 'wake' itself up and start recording. That would need a clock which we don't have, BUT I guess there could be a frig that may work something like:
- when the DAP detects that power via the charger has been enabled (use a timer plug to allow electricity to run through the charger at a specificed time), which can be allowed to happen via a setting (default is off)
- the countdown timer could start (or indeed recording could start straight away via a setting)
- then recording could start
- and if the time limit / file size limit has also been enabled, then maybe the DAP could come on at 2am, start recording straight away, and stop after 2hrs.
What d'ya reckon? I have just blurted that out, but food for thought maybe :P

However, the way it's done now would create another ifdef hell (linuxstb is going to add ipod recording), so I'm going to wait with AGC until recording code is a bit more universal.

Ahh ok then...In that case I'm going to commit the (newly optimised and CVS ready) record split button patch (after I've compiled it 20 times :D) which will break the AGC patch a bit I think...but that's life I suppose eh? ;)

Hmmm I don't know... maybe... but this would definitely have to be done in the bootloader and that's risky stuff!
Llorean:
I'm not 100% sure the H100 can wake on power, can it?
Wouldn't the optimal solution be to turn off any un-necessary hardware, and slow the CPU down to the minimum speed during whatever countdown?
So you could set it to like, 18 hours, and during that time, until maybe 10 seconds before recording, it's in absolute lowest power mode, then it wakes, wakes all hardware, and prepares to record, then goes.
petur: There is a lossless wavpack codec in that patch I mentioned. ;)
