Recording via Date and Time

[mminga]

I suppose it is not possible yet.
Would it be a great thing to add a Time and Date Setting in the website of minimstreamer to set recordings?
Thanks for an answer.

At present, you can set a future time within the next 24 hours but not a future date.

If the option to set a future date were to be added to MinimStreamer at some point, how would you use it? For example, do you want to schedule a single recording on a future date or do you want to record a radio program every week at the same time and the same day of the week?

Dear Simon,
the best case would be an own row of a radio station , like in the

Properties with the possibiltiy to add and remove.

Then possibly the settings in a column to set the date and start and end time of recording, and a dop down to set repeat (none, daily, or weekly).

Maybe others also want it.

I agree that something like this would be a useful enhancement to MinimStreamer. It doesn't easily fit into how the current Properties dialog is implemented, so it would need a new user interface and this would take some time to design and implement.

If a complete new design is needed, possibly an additional button for start and stop instant recording may be good.

This is already available but not via a button. To start recording a stream, enter the stream ID in the stream.record property and click OK. To stop recording the stream, remove the stream ID from the stream.record property and click OK.

Yes, I know, but if a redesign is on the list. It is easier for everyone.
The stream.record can be used to prepare and the others can be used to operate. That's what i mean.

Thanks for clarifying your suggestion. I agree that this should be included in the redesign.

One additional idea.
In recording there may be the interest to write metadata defined by settings in own columns.

• artist
• genre
• date
• possibly additional metadata, if others want more they should answer.

MinimServer and MinimStreamer do not write metadata to audio files. If a user wants to do this, they should use a tagging program.
