What an unusual request... Are you a spy or something ? ^^
Not natively, but we can get os.time from Lua scripts so it could be done with a script :P
Shouldn't be very hard, just a tile check, and if time = what yiu want then action record untill time you want it to stop.

Can't remember whether it's documented or has a help page, but I made something that might do this a while back. It's in my sig -Timer Recording Tool....

well... be sure it could be possible if needed, use the Lua os.date("%H:%M:%S") for that, it wil return date in a way that can be compared with the date/time of running the script.

Loaded it up and tried it again. It records any record-armed tracks according to the timer settings. You can set a rec time of an hour and a cycle time of 24 hours to rec at a set time every day.
The clock ignores dylight-saving time on my laptop, no biggie, but might put an option in.
You need to disable prompt for record-save on stop really to use this.

There is child protection software that blocks access to applications and only allows for a parent's define timeframe. While it is intended for games, why not add reaper to the blacklist ?

remembers me of the hassle with setting up 2 cassette recorders with 120min cassettes and analog timing swatches to record "Nightflight" in the middle of the night (a radio-show with Alan Bangs).
(besides: what an idiotic idea to air such shows that are targeted at people that have to be in school in the morning in the middle of the week and in the middle of the night. facepalm. of course the name would have to change if it would have been aired in the afternoon. and "afternoon-flight" is also not so good. sigh. you cant have everything I guess.)

Follow the links and download the EEL file.
invoke the actions list (press "?").
Click [load].
Locate and select the EEL file.
Add a shortcut (key press) to the new action, or just double-click it in the actions list when you need it.
Play around with it with short times -it seems to ignore daylight saving time, and it is thwarted by recorded file prompts from memory (turn them off).
Shout back if you need more help...

Auto record script
Thanks Nathan
Does just what I need. I'm in Australia. Is there a way to get it to show the correct time in the script?
It is currently 8 hours behind me?
Really appreciate the effort you put into making this. I use it to record a radio station on the net so I can review and train presenters.
Cheers
Ian

It needs an offset, I think Ian.
The available computer time that the code reads and queries is UTC (computers use it for email and such, which can be international). Not a biggie for us that live in the UK (as half the year that's our local time), but you need to be able to set it to display your local time and read your set times as local time too.
Let me have a look at the script and update it. I think the time offset can be saved in the ExtState so it is picked up automatically each time once set.
What's your time zone? We're on GMT (UTC) until next Sunday, whereas you'll be on daylight saving time ATM in Australia. The 8 hours sounds right for (eg) Perth -that where you are?

Time Offset
Hi Nathan
In Perth we don't have daylight saving so it's currently UTC+ 8 hrs.
Thanks so much for assisting with the offset. Love your script and really appreciate your help.
Goes with out saying, as a Reaper licensed user since it was created, I'm pretty much a fan of this program!!
Cheers
Ian

Time offset in your beaut tool
Hi Natahan
When you get a spare moment can you put your coding expertise into providing the correct code for changing the time offset?
Thanks again

nice tool! I was searching for that exactly. Live concert recording without missing the first track
A time offset would really be nice!

I don't understand how to set the time with this tool. I can hover over the numbers and they change color from yellow to blue, but clicking or typing does nothing?
Edit:
Oh I see, you hover over the number and then spin the scroll wheel.

Timer Recorder Plugin
Has anyone used the Timer Recorder plugin by Planetnine on the current version of Reaper? I am not having luck with it, and am trying to sort out how to program intermittent recordings from multiple channels for a bioacoustic project. Are there other solutions in other scripts I should look at? I would like to record from 6-8 channels simultaneously on a one-minute every ten minute 24-hr cycle.
Cheers for any ideas.

No files
Hi!
I loaded Timer Recording Tool script presented by planetnine with an interrupted schedule like this:
But after end of cycle there is no new file created for new recording cycle instead recording still continues in one large file. It's normal or bug? I think it's main thing this script must to do - to end and create different files for each cycle, right?
Can anybody help to do changes in script for realize this recording algorithm?
Thanks

Would it be possible to record for 20 days, each day on a new track automatically ?
Let's say 10 hours a day.
I know , I know but it's for an art project.

@permeke
would be possible via scripting
or with Markers actions for Rec and Stop Rec placed at right timecodes and a play cursor not stop for 10 days.
I dont think there is limit in project time.

Did ver. 6 break the timer?
Hello,
I have been using this great little tool for timed recording on my two PCs for quite some time. Now, I just realised, it does not work anymore. I have recently upgraded my Reaper to version 6 on both machines (6.03 now). Could that be the reason?
The problem is that nothing happens when the timer hits the scheduled start of recording.
BR, Otso

@osy
There is indeed a problem with the script,
you can try to backtrace that from this line (742)
Code:
cyc_count = floor((time_now - recst_time) / reccy_time) + 1; //check cycle according to time
For some reason, reccy_time can 0, so the variable BUG and so are the next functions (and record doesn't trigger.
I tried to see why reccy_time could be equal to 10 and if that would be problematic but I dont understand most of the code. Not sure what this line is supposed ot be in a first place (count cycle count suremy but why with this equation, I dont know).
But maybe you can just override it somehow by forcing a value or anything.
or go back to reccy_time declaration and find if it fails there.
ANyway, this script is indeed broken.

This is way late for the qustion, but maybe this will help others.
I found a simple solution to the timezone issue with a simple code change of two lines.
in the function: function show_time_line (x,y)
look a few lines into it for the line:
Code:
time(time_now); //get time (granuarity to 1 sec)
after that line add another line and place this code:
Code:
time_now += (timezone_offset*3600); // time zone offset in hours, defined in init()
Then in the function: function init ()
place this code on its own line:
Code:
timezone_offset = 8; // Perth time zone in hours from UTC
I used timezone_offset = -5 for my USA CDT timezone, but you can set to whatever variable you need, based on your time zone offset from UTC.
You could, of course, hardcode the first piece of code and not worry about defining it in init () but it's better practice, and easier to change for anyone if you define it in the init function. Note: anything after the double slash // is a comment. You can write whatever you want.
BTW, I'm using this script with REAPER 6. It works fine for me. (Win 10 64bit)

It does work!
I am little bit embarrassed: the problem was probably all along that the Rec segment was set to 00:00:00!
I suppose it had been a while since my last use of the recorder when I got the 6.x update, that I just did not remember to set the length or recording.
I am super happy now!
