I am trying to use the scheduler, and am not finding it useful. I can't find a way for the program to open a streaming audio show to record - thus I have to open the stream manually well in advance of the time of recording. Is there something I'm missing? If this feature is absent I strongly suggest that you implement it in the next version of the program. If it's already present, could you show me how to get it to work?

Thank you,

John H.

Yes, this feature will be implemented in version 7.x
At this time you can use windows scheduler to open streaming audio.

Thanks for the quick reply post. I trust the license I purchased will include this update, when it arrives, at no additional cost. Correct?

Thanks,

John H.

Your application looked interesting as your web page indicated a scheduler which is one of the main points that I was looking for. I was very dispointed to see that all the scheduler is for is to stop and start the recording. There is no way of connecting to the source that you want to record.

You can spacify URL for streaming audio and Scheduler will open this URL with default browser. In browser settings you can activate auto-dialing.

Oleg,

I updated to version 6.5.6.0 and tried out the Recording Scheduler again.

I placed the URL for the stream in the "Open URL" field box and gave it a "Start Time", then I placed the same URL in the "Close URL" field box and gave it a "Stop Time" that was one minute later. Then I sat back and observed to see if it would work.

When my start time came I saw the recorder indicate that it started recording and when the one minute passed by the recorder stopped recording just like I expected it to do. It created a 870 KB sized (.mp3) file but the problem is that the file it creates is silent. Apparantly if you don't have the stream audibly playing in advance then the scheduler doesn't record any sound.

This seems to defeat the purpose of having a scheduler if all it does it start and stop recording music that is already playing.

Will this be corrected soon?

Thanks Oleg

Does recorder open this URL in browser window?
By default recorder must open browser window when start record and call CloseURL then record stopped.
It can not close browser window so you must specify CloseURL from browser - usually window contain "Close Window" link with JavaScript.

1. CloseURL optional and in your case not required
2. You must select appropriate recording source "Stereo Mix" in Settings->Mixer
overwise recorder will contain only silence.
3. Recorder can not open and decode stream directly - it capture decoded stream from Sound Card

Yes, we have a plans to built-in Media Player to recorder for direct capturing internet streams
