So... It's possible to END a recording after a specified time (let's say 2 hours) - as long as you don't want to also have automatic filesplitting (let's say every fifteen minutes).

Is it so hard to have both?
Doesn't seem like a good idea to record until the HD is full.

To me this seems more important than to have several timers for recording start.

if I had a h3xx I would have a cool feature request:
integrate the recording timer with the calender plugin.

But I only have a 120 without RTC, so thats not so great for me.

Another thing would be a playback timer (wake up timer), so instead of starting recording it starts playback. But thats so much work, i don't want to ask anybody to do it  ;D

You are talking about the filesplit options right? and not the timer?
Yes, at the moment it is either split or stop and not both.

same here...that's why I went for a timer instead of RTC

If I only had enough time...
There are so many ideas that I would like to have in rockbox and I think that it would be possible for me to code them, but for whatever reason I'm not starting my editor :-\

Edit: fix bbcode

Look on the homepage my name's there for every other entry! :D

But I'm still having problems with the region FLASH full compiling errors for this patch and the recorderv2..and I'd just love to know whether it works on the normal recorder..but it seems people who own those just aren't into testing patches...I'll work something out... Apart from that it's CVS ready.
An option is to not have this feature at all on those players but I'd rather it was on all of them...

Anyway, here's the latest version, now the lang file is done and some other minor improvements that noone will notice from a users point of view (apart from the fact that it compiles again)

Go on...Push that button, you know once you start you won't be able to stop...all that other stuff you have to do isn't really important, you can do that next week ;)

It sounds like you're getting confused between the filesplit and the countdown timer.
Filesplit is already in CVS...The countdown timer is so that you can set it to record at some time in the future. The countdown timer shouldnt be affected by the length of the recording, just by the time before the recording.

No, not confused, may be expressed not clear. I start recording with timer in the future (especially in the middle of the night... ;D)  and end with timesplit (->end recording) after a certain time. Used it yesterday, worked without any problems.

A chain of different timers should be combined with different FM-station select for each timer. Simple to do, isn't it...? ::)

Ahh I see... Good I'm glad it's working..thanks for testing....

I may try the multiple timers thing another day but at the moment I'm feeling a bit lethargic... especially seeing as anything I do breaks the archos players...Sigh.......

A new patch for the timer:
http://www.rockbox.org/tracker/task/6297

Not really much changed from a users perspective (apart from being able to see the countdown in any screen if your screen is wide enough) but it works very differently from a code perspective...much better I think :)
