Recording Enhancements Pack

[Llorean]

Why don't you split it THEN put those split ones in the tracker, instead of trying to do it in the wrong order?

Hi there,

Daft newby question:

I've got an iHP140 (which I bought on ebay having got fed up trying to make any external recordings with my iAudio X5L - no plug-in mic power apparently, and even after buying a cheap mic pre-amp on ebay it still doesn't work).

I've downloaded Rockbox version R14632-070907, which is superb (thanks to everyone that coded it!).

I now want to add the Recording Enhancements Pack patch to my download.

When I click on the link to the patch at the beginning of this thread, it just opens a new window with the code in.

So, my daft newby question is "What do I do with that"? Save it? As what? Do I have to overwrite files in my existing download? Would it be easier just to download everything again from Mmmm's signature?

Cheers

Duncan

You save it as a file, then use it to patch the rockbox source code.  Following that you compile the source code into a build which you then put on your player.

Have a look at http://www.rockbox.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/WebHome?topic=SimpleGuideToCompiling

Edit:  I don't know when the REP was last updated.  If it is a while it is likely it will no longer apply cleanly without needing editing.  If you use one of Mmm's builds bear in mind I think they are quite old and you will miss out on new features + bug fixes (although the H1x0 builds are quite stable).

If you run any build other than the official build you download from the current builds page then be aware that they are unsupported here.

I'm also not entirely sure any of the features that are exclusive to the REP are absolutely necessary for recording. Most of the essential features have already been accepted into the main Rockbox code.

It looks cool though.

Hi,
Thanks for the replies. I've been recording using the download I have without the REP, but I read a review praising the improved clarity of the screen and was keen to try it.

I think the easiest thing is if I download Mmm's signature version - see if I notice any of whatever's missing and decide which I prefer..

Cheers,

Duncan

Does anyone know what happened to "Mmmm" ?
He hasn't been here for a long time.

I'll have a look at getting the peakmeters enlarged. I was think about doubling the size on targets that can handle it - would that be enough?

Yes Petur I'm wondering about the While Recording Screen; I have an extremely difficult time with the small font, and would like to be able to change it to a bigger font. It seems like I remember this being a part of the REP?

yes, and since you're writing this in the REP forum thread, I assume you know where to get it or the patches that enable it

As for whatever I wrote up there, I have run out of spare time atm, I already asked some for xmas

What did happen to Mmmm?

[Bedlore]

I think since my last firmware upgrade recordings have been going into the root directory, is this a known bug? I searched through the settings but doesn't appear to be anywhere to set the recording directory.

And yes.  where in the world is Mmmmmm, looks like a new compiled firmware supplier is needed!

It isn't a bug at all.  Set the recording directory by selecting the folder you want, opening the context menu (hold navi I seem to remember on H1/3x0, then select Set Recording Directory or some such.

If you haven't set the directory it will default to root.

[Bedlore]

Nope, searched everywhere.  I would expect to find this setting under Recording Settings but I've looked everywhere else as well.  Perhaps I am going blind?  I'm using a H140 with rockbox r14742M-070918.

[GodEater]

Well I'm running a build from this morning, and the option appears exactly where BigBambi says it does.

[Bedlore]

Hmm, definitely not there, perhaps it was an old bug now fixed.
Is anyone doing pre-compiled version for REP H/1xx at the moment?

[petur]

I recently fixed a bug where this settings wasn't saved so you might be experiencing that (too).

Mmmm is the creator of this REP and I haven't seen him around for months...
