Automated recording times possible with H320?

<< < (2/12) > >>

Mmmm:
Cbr12, I have come bearing gifts...

I have been mucking about with my countdown timer and managed to implement what I think you're after... Quite a nifty little feature I think... The patch is here: http://www.rockbox.org/tracker/task/6297

and here's a description of what it does....
All timer settings (including filesplit etc) are under a menu in the recording settings called Timer options.

Setting "Record repeat every.." you can set a time for a repeated recording eg. set it for 1 hour and a recording will start every hour from when you start the first recording. This needs to be used in conjunction with the "Split time" option.
"Split measure" and "What to do.." are automatically  set to 'time' and 'stop' respectively when "Record repeat every.." is set.
You need to set a "Split time" that is less than your "Record repeat every.." setting.

So eg.
First set "Record repeat every.." to 12 minutes
then "Split time" to 5 minutes.
Then go into the recording screen and press record

This will result in a 5 minute recording and then a 7 minute pause, then another 5 minute recording and 7 minute pause..etc etc until you stop the recording or pause the timer.

This can also be used in conjunction with the countdown timer to start the first recording at a specific time.

Hope that does the trick, I'll be interested to know if it works ok for you.

Mmmm,

Thanks for info. I really hope this works. I do not have the patch installed yet, but I will start working on it. I have never done this before so it may take a while before I figure out how to get it working. Is there any way to install the patch using a Mac?

Will this patch work for both the H120 and H320? I have both models and would like to get this working for both of them if possible.

I'll be amazed and very excited if this works. Thanks again.

To use this patch you'll need the build environment to make your own binaries. Nothing to get scared off ;)
More info here: http://www.rockbox.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/DocsIndex#For_Developers

Mmmm:
To make life temporarily easier for you (until you want to upgrade) here are the ready built binaries for both H1xx and H3xx.

All You need to do is install an up to date version of rockbox (make sure it works) and then replace the rockbox.iriver file with the version below. (remember to remove the .Hxxx extension first).

rockbox.iriver.H1xx
rockbox.iriver.H3xx

Mmmm,

I cant open the links you attached on the last reply. This is what happens when I click on it:

The requested URL /homepage.ntlworld.com/martin.scarratt/Rockbox/rockbox.iriver.H1xx was not found on this server.

Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

Is there anywhere else I can download them from? Maybe the URL is just missing somthing. Or more likely, maybe I'm missing something here.
