This area will compile all the information available for using Galicaster day by day.
This area will compile all the information available about the daily use of Galicaster. Some of this information is also available in the _docs_ folder of the source code.
Galicaster can be operated as Galicaster Class or as Galicaster Mobile, the first one driven by the lecturer and the other one only accessible by editors and technicians.
Galicaster has two main modes: Recorder and Media Manager. To access the Media Manager - and the player - you need to active the administration mode on the configuration.
When running it as Galicaster Mobile the main page will welcome you and allow you to chose between [Recorder|1.1 User Guide - Recorder] and [Media Manager|1.1 User Guide - Media Manager]. You can return to the main page any time you want, as shown in the graphic below. As Galicaster Class the Recorder is the only area available.
Once activated, if you run Galicaster the main page will welcome you and allow you to chose between Recoder and Media Manager. You can return to the main page any time you want, as shown on the graphic below. If the administration mode is disable, only the recorder it's available.

The Status Area will show you the current state of the recording, shifting between Iddle, Waiting, Recording and Stopped. Basically, you want to know if the program is actually recording or not.
