Recording via optical-in

[hellokitty]

same with me.

When I first heard about preglow's initiative I was happy to see spdif recording around christmas 2006. In the last weeks it looked better almost every day. And finally...

preglow, whatboutbob, mborus, and everyone else who put rockbox to H1**

Thank you all so much !!!

Patch commited.

Great news.

Just some small feedback:
48 kHhz sample rate is now correctly identified in the recording screen.

The optical output is also working during the recording (and get's activated even if it is not selected.

So everything seems to be OK.

Can optical out be turned off during recording?  Is having it on an extra battery drain?  I am thinking in terms of running off of the battery the whole time with an outboard ADC like the AD-20.  Thanks to everyone that made this happen!

Depends what you mean. Both have to be powered at the same time thanks to the Iriver hardware construction, but the output should be set in a low-power state if it's not enabled in the playback menu (fixed a couple of hours ago). If it is set to enabled in the playback menu, it monitors the current signal when recording.

You answered my question exactly.  Thank you.  Some people over at TapersSection, and maybe here, have reported accurate recording at 88.2khz with the patch.  Just an FYI.

Good to hear. It should handle all sample rates up to 96kHz (and even higher ones, but that's the highest sample rate it knows about, so that's the highest sample rate you'll see in a WAV).

Wow, I'm away for a week and I come back to this!

Incredible work, thanks so much for this

Thank you very much indeed! Your work is most appreciated (did I spell that right..ehh?).

Where can I get the firmware that has optical-in record and 48Khz?

Thanks!

Hi,

if you install rockbox and run a daily build later than May 2006 it is included. Just download the latest daily build!

And by the way:

THANKS AGAIN TO ALL WHO MADE IT HAPPEN!

Just recorded another digitally broadcasted TV-show. And it sounds great!
