New software
Release note:
• Recording List focus issue when deleting recordings.
• Fix to getting Googlecast device status when casting is in progress.
• Fix a case when 3 tuners are running, exiting from LiveTV may cause invalid tuner management. (A case user mars reported)
• Fix an error case of infinite crash loop if favourite channel is invalid (A case user SteveNotts reported.)
• Recording watch complete logic change.
– 92% watched recordings will be marked “completed”
– If a recording is completed by end of file (stopped automatically by end of recording), the progress bar will show 100%. But next playback of the recording should start from 0, and after restart progress will be changed.
– If a recording is marked as “Completed”, the flag will not be reset.
• Playbar during PVR trick mode is now a bit lowered.
Comments from programmer:
This version includes bug fixes assisted by bug reports from beta testers, appreciate them for the time and efforts.
And feedback about font size – whether it is enough big – will be welcomed.
Great. Thanks. Upgraded.
Update installed, thanks Barry.
Will give it a good coat of looking at later on, got the nose bag on just now.
I think there will be a few people grateful for the font increase.
Thanks Barry. Have updated
Thanks Barry
Updated
Thanks
Steve
I think maybe 15 or even 20% font size would be beneficial.
The plain black background on the epg is spot on.
Google Chromecast announcing the app thats cast is perfect, tested with several apps from my tablet phone and laptop.
Trick play doesn’t seem to lower the control at all in pause mode, but does in << or >> now?
The largest font size is most welcome.
Can you ask the programmer to also scale the font size for the information page text for the program, e.g. info page that comes up when you press the ‘I’ button?
My box doesn’t seem to want to update. I keep trying to update but it keeps saying that I have the latest software already.
Also, is this update in addition to the one due out on 19th or instead of?

You are not part of the beta group so you wont find new software.
Quote:Also, is this update in addition to the one due out on 19th or instead of?Neither, the public release currently planned for week 16 will include a lot of changes that have been tested in this and previous beta’s.
Not long before all owners will be updated – don’t envy the person who has to write the release note
Ah I see – thank you for clearing that up, Barry.
Improvements in latest Beta are very welcome so thank you for that, but I’ve noticed increased pixellation when exiting recordings into Live TV.
It happens like this.
At the precise moment “Live TV” is selected, the information box stating what’s on the channel being watched is out of sync with what’s actually on screen.
The programme info holds the last programme watched on the “Live” channel before the user began playback of a stored recording, then pixellates at the precise moment the user selects “Live” TV again.
…. Then more pixelaltion when the guide is updated ‘behind the scenes’ to reflect the change in information.
So say The Hit List was on BBC1 “Live” when a recording was accessed.
If you’d previously recorded a 2 hour film and watched it right through without exiting to live TV in the meantime, “The Hit List” would be showing as the current programme being shown on BBC1 despite finishing a few hours earlier.
The box also has the occasional tendency to lose all guide information from the “Live” broadcast MUX for about a minute after exiting the recordings menu & returning to Live TV.
I presume it might be the same when exiting apps to Live TV, but haven’t tested it..
I’ve noticed it both pre and post Beta update.
The pixellation almost seems to be the box struggling with the surge of data it’s having to process in order to provide an up to date guide reflecting the change back to Live TV, & and I’ve noticed it when going “Live” to any channel (SD or HD).
Whether some kind of stored basic guide could be auto downloaded to the device at intervals to ease the transition I don’t know, or have the timeline for the guide matched up when in-recording or in-app it might help, as the box seems like it’s tying itself up in knots trying to catch up..

Not sure that this is a bug or problem with the recent update or not, as this is the first time I’ve noticed this problem.
I had a schedule recording set for emmerdale omnibus on itv 3 this morning (Sunday 11th)
When checking the recording, I noticed that there were 2 identical recordings and both were 12 minutes short.
However checking the epg data elsewhere, I noticed an error in the actual timings so the aura recorded the correct length, but twice !
Where do I tell which version is currently running on my Aura?
I was included into the beta program a couple of weeks ago, but i don’t seem to have an update available today?
So I can see if something has gone wrong or if it updated without me noticing somehow.
