BCD436HP/BCD536HP: I WANT more than 1000 Sessions Recording Capability

kandrey89 · Aug 25, 2015

Currently I am limited to recording 1000 sessions, otherwise known as 1000 folders in the "audio/user_rec/".
I want to be able to record 65536 sessions/folders, the maximum limit for a FAT32 system.

Why did they limit it to 1000??? GRRRR another pointless limitation

I think the Bug Reports forum when missing along with the Advanced Technical forum a few weeks ago when they consolidated several of the groups here.

I copy mine over to a 1TB USB drive periodically (about every couple gig). I prefer that to copying 1000 folders worth or worse yet 65000 folders worth.

I would think the SD card will max on data size before you could get that high anyway. If not, what do you do when you get to 65000 folders?

Just out of curiosity, how long does it take to get to 1000 folders?

I once left an HP1 recording for something like four weeks straight, 24 hours a day, before I filled up my 32GB card. I never bothered to check the number of folders in user_rec, because it was the volume of data, not the count of files, that did me in.

What size card are you running to come across this limit?

kandrey89 · Aug 27, 2015

32GB card, running over a month.
When it reaches 65536, fine, say limit reach, but 1000 that's just too small.

Better yet, write in exFAT support, it's just too dumb not to, that way larger microSD cards will be natively supported.
