I'm missing the posibility to be able to split the recordings at custom moments.
Say in a commercial break or when the news starts in my case with my radiostation www.tvhaarlem.nl

example:

API.Function("SplitRecording",Value:="Recorder1")
API.Function("SplitRecording",Value:="Multicorder")

Thnx!!!

That's not going to give you a consistent recording with an instantaneous restart like using a buffer to generate new files on a single recording session would (or should).

The "new file every..." shouldn't have a gap between files. In fact, I just tested it with a {0:hh:mm:ss:fff tt} clock in a 30fps production.

The last frame of the first file and the first frame of the second file are 33ms apart--exactly the same difference between the other frames within the same file. If there's a delay, it's less than 1ms.

Using a script or shortcuts to stop and then restart is going to add a gap. The system cannot completely stop and then restart a recording with no processing delay.

With the exact same preset (same clock, same recording format, same recording settings), I used the script

Code:
API.Function("StopRecording")
API.Function("StartRecording")


The difference between the last frame of the first file and the first frame of the second file jumped to 101ms--meaning I lost about 2 frames worth of continuity.

I'm not sure how feasible the feature request is, but this suggestion won't work if you need an uninterrupted recording, whereas the requested feature would ideally allow for such.
