    Release note:

    • A hot fix for problem of iPlayer / ITVHub can not play contents.

    – In beta testers’ thread : user barrados & Andy1302 comment.

    – If the problem still happens, it would be helpful if users can try to “Restart apps” from Freeview Play > Power button and report what happens.

    • A fix for Dynamic switching notification option

    – In beta testers’ thread : user davidrew comment

    • Series recording sort order : by recently(default), by oldest, and smart ordering.

    – Smart ordering : recordings not watched fully (Over 90% or done) will be ordered first by oldest, watched recordings will be followed by order of recently recorded.

    • Trick mode Recording playback UI Changed

    – After 3 seconds, top & bottom player UI will be changed to provide clear video contents.

    • Turning on Aura using web interface and mobile app.

    – If Aura is in standby, and casting live channel or recording will turn on the Aura – can work with new standby button in Web IF.

    • Deep standby handling change

    – not to enter deep standby mode until recording playback from Aura app or Google cast device is finished.

    Thank you for all the comments to date.

    Watching a recording of Frasier on a HD TV, when I fast forward the UI seems to slip down after a few seconds so that it appears to be half out of view. I am not a fan of this approach as the UI seems to be in the wrong place. Maybe I will get used to it.

    Updated. Ordering from within a series. I prefer oldest at the top, which I can now do. Thank you Humax!

    Tonight my aura disconnected from Wi-fi. I never use lan. Would not reconnect and stated router was “disabled”. There were no issues with my router. I had to reboot aura from the power drop down menu. It’s now connected to Wi-fi ok automatically after the reboot.

    Hi all,

    Was in the Freeview guide, (itv was the live channel) went to choose favourites 1, booted me out to the main box menu. Unable to exit.

    Press the live TV tile, get the spinning circle then back to menu again.

    Live TV / exit button had no effect.

    Did a restart through the menus and still stuck as above.

    Pulled the plug and restarted still stuck on main.menu as above.

    Did a Freeview reset through the menus , channels back but has put West Midlands channels instead of East Midlands.

    Cheers

    Steve

    I get that message with a Samsung TV when using DLNA, but then when I try again it sometimes works. Does your TV upstairs support DLNA? If so then you could try that.

    I’ll give it a try, I have been watching the recordings via the 4000T box as opposed to the TV and as I said SD recordings are fine HD just won’t play even after trying again. 400T connected to network via wifi and the Aura is wired via Ethernet.

    **Update.

    I’ve just made a HD recording to do a test for mars, however it would only play a few seconds over DLNA and received via my kodi setup on my android tablet.

    The other thing that I’ve just noticed is that before the last update I was able to view live TV via DNLA kodi, but now the only channels available now are bbc 1 and 2 HD, ITV HD, ch4 and 5 HD and cbbc HD.

    Thanks! I have no problem watching HD recordings over DLNA on an LG TV, Android tablet and phone (using VLC), Panasonic BluRay player and Freeview recorder, Sony BluRay player, and (sometimes) Samsung TV. All the TV channels seem to be available on my tablet using VLC.
