everything I see is kind of a text file (never installed a plugin). What do I have to do to make it run on the H120 ?
What is it supposed to do ?

You are supposed to compile your own rockbox version with this,
or you have to wait if someone compiles one for you.

I tried compiling it following the instructions(*) on the rockbox homepage.

"Digital" appears as a selection for recording source.
When I connect a 44.1 kHz or 48 kHz source, nothing happens.
I can't hear it and when I start a recording anyway, the Iriver tries
to start a recording and freezes.

At least this got me motivated to set up a building environment :)

(*Note: If you never tried this, they are quite good. The only guesswork
I had to do was where to put the files - Patch goes into the rockbox root
directory to work, rockbox source tar file goes into c:\cygwin\home\<USERNAME>)

Thanks,

but all I can see is

http://www.pvv.org/~thomj/rockbox/spdif_recording.patch

Is this the patch itself or just an instruction ?

Llorean:
It's a patch. You apply it to the source code, and then compile.

It's the patch.

See http://www.rockbox.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/DocsIndex

And read the section "For Developers"

Here you need to read:
# First-time guide to Rockbox development.
# Detailed instructions on compiling.
# The simplified guide to compiling.
# How to work with patches.

This is a bit scary, but you can get it to work.
Or just wait a few days...

sullen:
I did my first ever patch/compile today just so I could check out the Optical Recording.  I am having the same issue as the above poster.  I turn on my Optical source before turning on the iRiver, go to record, select Digital, and the go to the recording screen.  I get no levels at all.  I hit record and the timer starts but still no levels.  I can hit stop and it stops, but freezes after that.  I patched with today's (4/23) source.
