Rotter Description

Recording of Transmission / Audio Logger for JACK. Rotter is a Recording of Transmission / Audio Logger for JACK. The project was designed for use by radio stations, who are legally required to keep a recording of all their output. Rotter runs continuously, writing to a new file every hour. It is released under the GPL license.Rotter can output files in two different strutures, either all files in a single directory or create a directory structure:flat: /root_directory/YYYY-MM-DD-HH.suffixhierarchy: /root_directory/YYYY/MM/DD/HH/archive.suffixThe advantage of using a folder hierarchy is that you can store related files in the hour's directory.Usagerotter < directory > -a Automatically connect JACK ports -f < format > Format of recording (see list below) -b < bitrate > Bitrate of recording (bitstream formats only) -c < channels > Number of channels -n < name > Name for this JACK client -d < hours > Delete files in directory older than this -R < secs > Length of the ring buffer (in seconds) -H Create folder hierarchy instead of flat files -j Don't automatically start jackd -v Enable verbose mode -q Enable quiet modeSupported audio output formats: mp3 MPEG Audio Layer 3 mp2 MPEG Audio Layer 2 aiff AIFF (Apple/SGI 16 bit PCM) aiff32 AIFF (Apple/SGI 32 bit float) au AU (Sun/Next 16 bit PCM) au32 AU (Sun/Next 32 bit float) caf CAF (Apple 16 bit PCM) caf32 CAF (Apple 32 bit float) flac FLAC 16 bit wav WAV (Microsoft 16 bit PCM) wav32 WAV (Microsoft 32 bit float)Example:rotter -a -f mp3 -d 1000 -b 160 -v /var/achives Wed Jun 21 22:54:19 2006 Root directory: /var/archives Wed Jun 21 22:54:19 2006 JACK client registered as 'rotter'.

Wed Jun 21 23:00:00 2006 Opening MPEG Audio output file: /var/archives/2006/06/21/23/archive.mp3Start logging audio to hourly files in /var/archives. Rotter will automatically connect itself to the first two JACK output ports it finds and encode to MPEG Layer 3 audio at 128kbps. Each hour it will delete files older than 1000 hours (42 days). Verbose mode means it will display more informational messages. Requirements: · Jack audio connection kit · LAME · TwoLAME What's New in This Release: · Fixed bug in ID3 writing code (thanks to Aleksander Plotnikov for reporting)
