Recording Enhancements Pack

[Spoonman]

ok, so i can live without that atm despite they are interesting enhancements too, and hope they make it into the builds ;-) thanx for info....

and also thanx for all your hard work....

[edit]
can anybody tell me how to split tracks? according to nano user-manual it should be by pressing long play, but this does not seem to work for me! if i press play for 2 secs or so the player is shutting down...

The custom button and extra timers will probably never make it.

Is there any technical reason why the extra timers will never make it? I really like the countdown timer and as a result I'm now running a really old version of Rockbox. I might try and get the countdown timer working on 3.2 (for an H120) but I don't want to waste my time if there is some reason why this is no longer possible to do with the way that Rockbox is currently written/structured.

the custom timers are actually a bit of a hack since it uses the main loop of the recording code to count the time, so it is not accurate and accuracy changes as code gets changed. I'd rather have a clean solution. The idea may be good but the implementation is not.

hi again.
first i am sorry to bug u guys again with something banal like this, but i am not able to do it by myself, so i need to ask someone else and i do it here since the origin of the problem seems to be the rep...

now to the problem itselve:

i soldered a line in cable for my ipod nano for recording dj sets on partys, wich works verry well with one exception: it is not realy possible to split tracks since the mapping of buttons is not really usable.
according to the manual track split works by a long press of play/pause button while recording, which effectively stops the recording because a long press is also a stop.

in my opinion it just should be mapped to a long press on select button for all ipod targets and the problem is gone. i already filed a bug report in flyspray here: http://www.rockbox.org/tracker/task/10207?project=1&type=2&order=dateopened&sort=desc but it seems like the interest for this issue is not very big at all, so i decided to post it here again.

Anyone who is following this thread have a recent REP build for H140 they are willing to share?  Mine is from r14742M which is getting on a bit.

Thanks

Which feature of REP is preventing you from updating to an SVN build instead?

[Bedlore]

I don't fully understand, are you saying that the normal Rockbox svn incorporates REP's features?

[Llorean]

Not all of them, which is why I was asking which one was holding you back. You're using a one and a half year old version of Rockbox, I'd hoped you at least knew what feature(s) you considered indispensable.

[Bedlore]

Sure, I understand now.  I'd have to think about the answer for awhile before giving a complete answer but off the top of my head I'd say the recording start up screen, support for time stamping with the RTC mod, input metering and AGC would be high on the list.

[Llorean]

Care to guess how many of those are in the official build? (Though, for the RTC mod, you have to change one define before compiling since the player doesn't normally have an RTC, so RTC H100 series will pretty much always need a custom build)

[Bedlore]

I'm guessing all of them, could explain the general inactivity of the REP thread now.  Looks like I need to get my head around compiling and also hunt down a good second hand H300 unit too

Check petur's comment at the bottom of the previous page.

I haven't been here in a very long time....

So, I'm still using the REP for the centering meter, because I use my iHP-120 strictly for recording concerts. That meter is great for making sure you are recording a centered image. Is there a way to incorporate that into the latest builds? I'd love to update to the latest build, but that feature is something I really value.
