(My box, which I only got a week or so ago, shows last software update was January 29th 2921, firmware version 9.14)
Still being updated after 900 years, great support by Humax!

Looks good. I like the ‘zapping’ order mod.
I don’t understand what the OK key behaviour affects.
Re the new option for OK key.
An example is the easiest way to explain.
OK set as default which is Play Content.
Go to FP screen, scroll down to Featured On Demand….picking the first option in my set up is Bloodlands.
Press OK and unit will switch to iplayer to play content.
If you change OK setting to Show info, then on pressing play you get info on the programme rather then iplayer opening.
This behaviour should be replicated all VoD playback i.e TopPicks, Backwards Guide, FP etc.
Checking DLNA, I noticed that the date of recordings is now shown correctly on my Samsung TVs, Sony BluRay, and Panasonic Freeview Recorder (used as a DLNA client), but not on my LG TV (this seems to be a limitation of the LG TV), and the Panasonic also shows the times and length of recordings. Therefore, there is less need for being able to show recordings in Title-Date or Date-Title format. I have gone back to just Title. Also, on the topic of DLNA, all the recordings since the 13/03 update are going into separate folders. When trying to play HD files on my Samsung TV, I often get the error message ‘The selected file is not currently supported’ and then if I try again it might work (probably a Samsung problem).
PS: I had the FVP300 error with catch-up apps earlier this morning, but since the MDS? client updated there has not been a problem.
While watching the cricket this afternoon (casting Sky Cricket from Now TV to the Aura), the Aura crashed. There was a recording in progress at the same time. The Aura also crashed while casting at the weekend.

What device were you casting from ?
A Nokia 8.1 (Android 10) mobile although I don’t think that the mobile does very much while casting.

I was going to try using similar device. I only have an entertainment pass but that should be OK to see if I can replicate the issue. How is the Aura connected to your home network ?

It may take a while to replicate the issue as the cricket had been casting from 1:30pm until it crashed at about 4:40pm. Strangely, the recording of Morse that started at 15:52 is of zero length and then it restarts after the crash, but this may be due to the crash. I am using Wifi. I will see what happens with the cricket on Saturday.

A truncated recording from a re-boot generally does that. Starting with a second recording. Seen that many times. If you pull the power or get a short power outage that’s what happens to recordings in progress.
Regarding DLNA, VLC Media Player on my Windows 10 notebook only shows the title of recordings. Looking at media information for some recordings, there is only the title and the date given as 2021 (no day or month). On the other hand, Humax seem to have DLNA working perfectly with my Panasonic FVP recorder (as as a DLNA client) as it displays title, date, time, channel, and recording length (although no thumbnail, but these are of little value).
I too have apps only working from Freeview Play home screen. Thought they weren’t working at all, until I logged in to this thread and saw that work around.
Last night the Aura was in deep standby (using the new option), but this morning when I switched it on there was a blank screen. Switching it off (standby using the remote) and on again made no difference so I had to unplug and it is back to normal. There was a recording during deep standby (5:30-6:00) but that worked fine.
How long did you wait for unit to boot?
It takes some time to come out of deep standby.
(I’ll put a stopwatch on mine in a mo and edit this post)
Edit: It appears to have speeded up since the last time I checked
2 x tests – Just over a minute from pressing standby button to audio/video.

I should have said that it should have come out of deep standby at 7am and I switched on after 8am so I was expecting the normal quick start up.

I have set the new overnight deep standby from 11pm to 6am and it seemed to work OK this morning when I switched it on at 6.50am. It came on as if in warm standby, I’ll monitor and see if its consistent, I will also set-up an overnight test recording to see if that is a factor.
