I just tried it, and this seems to work the way you want it. But you
need to run jack_capture with the "-tm" option to start it in time
machine mode.
You might also want to use the "--daemon" option for jack_capture,
which will stop it from printing stuff to stdout.
Ah, that seems to be the problem! Thanks for the quick reply!
My initial idea was to add this as well as a service but jack_capture needs user input -
is this possible with a service? Like an additional script that triggers the recording?
How about letting jack_capture listen to OSC?
jack_capture --help-osc
Then you can run jack_capture as root like this:
jack_capture --osc 7777 --filename-prefix
/recording/directory/jack_capture_recording_
And as a normal user you can run
oscsend localhost 7777 /jack_capture/tm/start
oscsend localhost 7777 /jack_capture/tm/stop
to start and stop recording.
Robin Gareus might help more on this, since he wrote that code.
I'm not entirely sure if this is the best way to use the OSC interface.
