Topic: iriver H1xx Tapers FAQ (beta)

One's best bet really is to delete via rockbox.  I've got about 10gig free on my h160 for recordings...so after a few gigs i just delete my recording directory using rockbox - takes about 10 seconds and i know that it'll work.

True, true. Thanks guys!

petur: So I can add it to the faq, could you pls jog my memory as to how you disable recycling bin (it has been a while since I've had to do it)?

two options:
1) hold shift while deleting files will disable the recycling bin for that delete operation
2) with the device attached, right-click the recycling bin, select the drive letter of your device and change the option.

note that (2) requires that your device always gets the same drive letter when attached. Yes, Bill can sometimes be stupid

To install the REP I just copy the .patch file to the root right?

nope.

the patch applies to the source which you then need to compile.

So use a pre-build binary which can be found in the rockbox forum (under recording)

WARNING

The current CVS/daily builds of rockbox have a risk of sometimes skipping 1-2 seconds of a recording (no gap, the data is just missing).
I discovered this myself this morning when listening to a show I recorded last night
It doesn't happen a lot but even once is unacceptable imho.

The bug is being investigated, I hope it can be fixed asap.
A fix for the incorrect samplerate for spdif is up for testing.

The reason for all this is that a major part of the code got rewritten to accomodate different encoders (in the past, only WAV was written, now WAV, wavpack and mp3 are supported). I just wished the process would have been more smooth

just the last build is affected? or it come from some time ago? (I'm using 25.07.2006, so it doesn't affect me...I mean it for others, to set a "cut", after what build this is happening)

[knoxmallette]

I'm using a 9/12/06 build and I've had no issues.

[Arni99]

petur is talking about builds from October 1st 2006 and newer ones....

The cause could be either the new scheduler (16-sept-2006) or the encoder framework (28-aug-2006)

I have however recorded many times without problems since those two major changes, so it must have been something recent.
Or it's something on my device...

As soon as I've recovered from the diskcrash of my dev machine I'll try out some things.....
In the mean time stick to your working build. I wish I could, my last known good build was on that crashed disk

petur: REP works fine. otherwise, if you don't want that i'm sure someone here could u/l a working version...

[Gawain]

yeah, petur, thanks for the explanations  and keep us update about any test you make.

btw, I have all the daily builds since June in my HD right now, just tell me what one you want and I mail it to you

This goes to show it's worth keeping a copy of your former versions when upgrading (so you can always go back to something that proved itself with your unit previously).
