Starred DVR

[qvasic]

Ability to add "stars" to your DVRs.

Useful feature to mark time on your DVR files: if landed a cool trick, flown your fastest lap or crashed somewhere far - just press a configured button so goggles save a "star" on your DVR, which you can later see on Playback page and in DVR player, or on filesystem of your SD card later when you edit your videos.

How to use it:

Go into Input menu, and assign "Star DVR" to an input of your choice:

While DVR is being recorded activate that input (e.g. click the right button) - a file is created next to the DVR file which is currently being recorded, time stamp in format "minutes:seconds" is appended to that file:

Go to Playback menu - files which has "star" file next to them will be marked with yellow star icon:

Play a DVR file with a star icon - "stars" will be shown on the timeline (up to 10 stars):

Cool idea! This looks really useful.
You could change the heart/like to a star if you want it a bit more applicable for crashes etc as well :)
How did you get the heart image though?

Thanks! Yes, "star" might be more applicable to more circumstances. :)

How did you get the heart image though?

I've just written a Python script which generated required C code from picture's ASCII drawing. :)

I've finally got some time to finish this.
I've changed feature name and icon, cleaned-up the code, updated PR description.
It is ready for review @ligenxxxx .

@qvasic I found in actual use that when I was in video mode and started to star dvr, I couldn't tell whether the operation was successful. My suggestion is to add a new [REC] OSD that contains a ⭐ in the lower right corner. Show it when staring.

Sounds useful. I'll get to it when I have time.
