If you’re part of the beta testing I would have that this information appearing would be expected?
I hadn’t seen it before.

What does this fix?
My HDMI resolution is still incorrectly set for 1080p content (consistently picks 4k23), other than live TV which switches to 1080p50.
The resolution banner now only displays for 2 seconds, following a resolution switch, not enough time to read it properly!
Got some bugs crept in on this last release. Watching Amazon Prime and the unit dropped into standby 4 times. Also, as part of my “hey Google, goodnight” script, it uses a cast command to turn off the TV. Tonight it didn’t work, even though everything else in the script was executed.
Started normally from deep sleep this morning. No problems, resolution 1080p as set prior to deep sleep. The only thing that has not changed is the Audio/Video Options information plate still shows Video Resolution………….1….4K 50Hz.

Hi Barry,
How do I become a beta tester?
Apologies if it’s not the appropriate section.
Thanks
Update:
If you or anyone else not part of this group wants to test the latest beta release then PM (private message) the serial number of your unit, which can be found in Settings, Device preferences, About, Status.

I watched a film on Amazon Prime last night with no problems (290321 software) and played (no time to watch) a film this morning with no problems as it played to the end (300321 software).
Set the HDMI resolution to 1080i last night and after deep standby the setting had not changed.

Tested again with the video resolution set to 4K2K-50Hz, appears to working with no issues.
Breaking news.
Public release of software planned for Week 16 which I think is Week commencing 19 April 2021.
That’s good news.
Asked support months ago, why your favourites was not the up down selection channel as with previous Humax’s, good to see that’s sorted.

Quote:• Improve series recording limit handling – If an episode is already booked by series schedule, Aura will notify to users in detail information and not make a new series schedule. Limit change to 15.ITV3 are showing the Carry On films at Easter as a series with more than 15 films (and some repeated). If you press record for a film with no record icon (and not a repeat) then the record icon appears and it is added to the schedule so I have 17 films in the schedule. Information is shown in the detail information, but I still think it would be better to have no limit.
Limit increased in next beta to 24

Great, for all practical purposes, 24 is more or less the same as no limit.
I’ve still got some voice commands from Google home not working. “Turn off the living room TV” no longer works. It used to before the last firmware update.
Pause and play voice commands still work.
Regarding DLNA, I was watching a recording on my phone when it suddenly stopped at 11pm when my Aura is scheduled to go into deep standby. This would not happen if I was watching a recording (or live tv) on the Aura itself as it would wait for me putting it in (normal) standby before going into deep standby. I will try and check this again some time. I do not know if this is the intended behaviour.

Hazarding a guess. I think it’s likely to be an oversight in not checking the media server is actively delivering a recording. Mine is forced into full sby at midnight and wakes at 08:00. If I want watch live TV early morning I set a watch reservation on on either ITV-HD or BBC1-HD staring at 06:00 weekdays.
This makes all the live TV channels available in the Aura app without having to manually boot the box downstairs in the lounge.
The box has gained so much functionality recently such that there must be a lot more capability to consider.
Personally I think Humax are doing a stirling job at the moment.
