hhmm i have devel Disabled. i think it was just demoted.



by the way. even if i also have notifications turned off i still get notifications

Re: can Recaller work automatically?
 

I noticed this bug came back for me too.

Re: can Recaller work automatically?
 

This is not a bug, but a "misunderstanding". The notifications settings right now only influences the "recording since..." continuous reminders (popping up every 30 seconds), but not the notifications at the start/end of a call. I will improve this in v 2.0.1 in the next days.

Re: can Recaller work automatically?
 

There is no "they" - it's a one-man show. Me. Poor me, all alone :)
The functionality of the software is always the same (as long as it is 2.0.0). The last number (-6, -7) is the version of the package. As I made various mistakes when packaging, I had to up that number each time and release a new package build.

Re: can Recaller work automatically?
 

Ok, first of all - calm down :D
If you go to the Help page of recaller,there is a link to the package viewer where you can see what version is where. The new 2.0.0 versions are only in -devel and -test.

Then there is also a "Bugs" section on that page with instructions on how to help me track down bugs:

That should help us move forward.

greatttttttttttt

Re: can Recaller work automatically?
 

he is very good, congratulations!
but yesterday the recaller started to record and not have turned off more. I had to reboot the N900. : (

Re: can Recaller work automatically?
 

Done, no offense, but that page is a war zone.

Can't we do this over here, where replies have a chronological order and replies can be directed?

Anyway, I did what you asked. Feed from the terminal will be in another post because moving text around is kind of complicated so I'll repost from the phone.

Re: can Recaller work automatically?
 

~ $ python2.5 /usr/lib/hildon-desktop/recaller.py
Phone /home/user/MyDocs aac True True
22:35:35 - Recaller: Phone call to *222
22:35:36 - Recaller: Picked up the call...
Launcher config is:
adder name=theAdder ! nokiaaacenc bitrate=128000 output-format=1 ! filesink location=/home/user/MyDocs/Rec_*222_20100421_223536.aac. pulsesrc device=sink.hw0.monitor ! queue name=q1 ! theAdder. pulsesrc device=source.hw0 ! queue name=q2 ! theAdder.
22:35:43 - Recaller: Call terminated...


As we speak, it's still recording and I see notifications every 30 secs. Widget is green. Nothing more is being printed in console.

ETA: Closing the terminal killed it. Kind of expected, but that means I could keep a terminal open instead of booting the phone every call? Or does it leave a daemon running behind?

Re: can Recaller work automatically?
 

recaller works great for me, thanks!
I have a small feature request: it would be great if the name of the person I'm talking to could be put into the file name as well. also, if the start date/time was first in the file name, calls were already sorted in the file manager. but maybe that could be a configuration option?

Re: can Recaller work automatically?
 

I have been doing a little directed hacking today.......

I know that twaelti is working on this option.

First off all of the disclaimers apply if you don't know how to edit a file then some basic stuff is in order before copying any thing here. This may cause your program to be unstable and birds may crash in to your car today. if your still reading keep going.....

If you want all of the reminders to be removed and your not content to wait. then you can edit a file and turn off the 30 second notifications in setup. This is working on my device and seems to work well after a lot of trial and error and quite a bit of help.

To remove the banner notifications that a cal has started and stopped and where the file is saved edit the following file.

With a fresh working install of 2.0.0-7 I commented out lines: 269, 272, 346, 351, and 369 from /usr/lib/hildon-desktop/recaller.py
**** For some reason a reboot was required to get all of the banners to go away. I didn't work with just a simple removal and reinstall of the widget.

These lines contain the value self.log If you comment out these 5 instances of self.log you should no longer have the pickup and hangup notifications. This also gets rid of the recording started and recording stopped notifications

Re: can Recaller work automatically?
 

I posted this in a different thread, but I am not sure if Twaelti ever saw it there:

A nice feature would be if the app just records all phone calls, and automatically deletes recordings that are older than one week (or some configurable time).

To save them from being deleted,
(1) you could manually copy them out of the save directory before time is up,
(2) the app might let you "save" a recording to an external file (i.e. make the copy for you), or
(3) the app might let you tag files to not be automatically deleted.

The point is that call recording works fully automatically and you never have to think about it. There is no pushing a button "Do you want to keep this recording?" after every call. You just always have a full log of all calls you made the last week.

Re: can Recaller work automatically?
 

Well, the idea of a log is to be complete, otherwise you never have all you want, just those you think are important. If you know they are important, write it down.

To me, the whole idea is that I can scan back and recall every word spoken, no matter how unimportant.

If it could do that without costing me calls as it does now it would be great.

Re: can Recaller work automatically?
 

HELP!!! recaller doesn't seem to record my calls..i go to the file i set for recording my calls but there's no sound clips..what's wrong??

Re: can Recaller work automatically?
 

a) Set it to record automatically.
b) Make sure you point it to a folder that exists (not a file). Does nothing for inexistent folders
c) Paths are case sensitive on Linux. Re-check your path
d) Check notifications. Do you get "Picked up call" and "recoding since" every 30 seconds?

Re: can Recaller work automatically?
 

yea i set it to record automically..save folder /home/user/MyDocs..and i do get "picked up call" notification....so what's wrong? i go to file manager the press on n900 and there's no sound clips

Re: can Recaller work automatically?
 

Firstly, thanks for a great app, it has been a godsend on numerous occasions.

Don't know about the first part of this, but I also wanted the date/time first in the file name so the call log would be in date order, so decided it was time to start doing stuff for myself (isn't that kind of the point with this phone :D)
