Hello,

I’ve just got a Humax Aura, one of the main things I wanted to be able to do with it was to be able to watch stuff from it on a TV in another room. I enabled the DNLA on it and now when I go to the other TV (Panasonic TX-50CX700B) I am able to see the Aura Media Server on my network and can browse my recordings.

If I choose a recording that was done from a Standard Definition channel I can watch it fine and can pause, fast forward and rewind through the program but if I choose a recording from an HD channel I can play it but have no option to fast forward or rewind. I’ve also tried via a number of apps such as VLC but still no luck.

Does anyone know why this doesn’t work, are there any settings I can change to get this to work or any apps I can install?

Thanks

If you use the web interface to transcode HD to 960 x 540 file to a PC you can use the time bar on VLC on a PC to skip to any point.

Alternative is play the content using VLC on a PC and record it as the HD recording plays back.

If you drag the file to a Chrome tab you should be able to cast to the Aura`s chromecast.

Thanks for the answers, I was hoping I could just record something in HD and then choose whether I watched it on the TV that was directly connected to the Aura or on a TV in the other room, but it seems like there is no way that is going to work without involving a PC, which I don’t want to do. It’s a shame because my Panasonic DMR-HWT250 did that quite well.

Just out of interest what is the web interface you mentioned, does the Aura have a web interface?

Thanks

You can watch on another in another room TV subject to the following

Can you run a flat cat 7 cable from the aura location to the other TV ?

I do this with full-HD kitchen TV and a 4K oled in the lounge. TV upscales Full-HD to 2160p.

You need a pair of baluns. The one in the lounge needs HDMI loop through to connect the local TV. The remote TV connects to the balun receiver using a hdmi cable.
