Automated recording times possible with H320?

(1/12) > >>

cbr12:
I would like to use my H320 to record birds every morning for a week or two from 6-10 am. The Iriver would be plugged in of course so it doesn't run out of batteries. I know the H320 has an internal clock, can it be used to set pre-determined start and stop recording times? I read in another post that there is a plug-in for a countdown timer to begin recordings, but could this be used on a consistent basis to start and stop every morning? If this is possible please let me know how.

Thanks

A quick look in the wiki gives this information:

If there is a count-down plugin for recording, there should be no problems using it... Just turn on your player before going to bed, set the count-down to reach zero at 6am and then let it run. You can probably set a sleep timer to turn of your player at the desired time. Since I don't know anything about this count-down plugin, I can't know for sure though.

Cheers

Edit: Typos...

Llorean:
I think that what he wants is a way to plug in his player, and set it to record a scheduled recording (6-10 AM every day Mon-Fri) rather than just one recording at 6 AM.

Llorean, you are right. I want something that will be able to record everyday at the same scheduled times, not just one morning. I suppose the sleep timer would work if there is some way for it to automatically wake up again when it is time to recrord again the next morning. If Iriver cant do this, are there any other jukeboxes like archos, ipod etc. that would allow this type of recording?

Didgeridoohan:
Yes, I understood what he wanted... The problem was that I wasn't completely clear in my answer. :-[ With the way I suggested you would of course have to prepare your player every night you would like a recording the next morning... A bit of a problem if you don't have the opportunity to do that.

I don't think there is an option to have Rockbox start your player automatically at a certain time.
