As an addition to ParksidePete’s experiences, a couple of additions..
Channel 4 HD’s Four in a Bed recorded successfully on Monday & Tuesday, but the Aura recorded the same episode twice on Series link.
Also, the Top Gear Tribute to Sabine Schmitz (BBC1 HD) was scheduled for recording (set during the One Show last night), confirmed on the timeline with an R and in the general guide with a red dot but when accessing within “Recordings” then “Schedule“, there was no trace of the imminent timed recording..
I have only just updated my box to the recent beta. When I watch the iplayer is seems to stutter for a few seconds. The sound is fine but the picture seems to slow down then speed back to normal speed. I was watching British menu and the box was recording 2 other channels. Checked on prime video, itv hub and other streaming services but just does it on iplayer. Tried turning av info frames on and off it makes no difference. My broadband is fast so that’s not the issue. Also tried changing iplayer to beta or standard version makes no difference. Restarted box makes no difference either.
Wondered if anyone else had seen this?
Update: Aura hdmi is set to auto. If on iplayer I press S/AD on remote, disable Auto Resolution Switch, then change video resolution to 1080p 50Hz it plays smoothly with no stutter at all.
BBC iplayer does this on mine, so I normally resort to using my tvs inbuilt app.
It does spoil what has become a really good experience

I also have this issue, it happens on both the Aura iPlayer and if you cast from iPlayer off an iPad. I have also tried the Beta iPlayer and have the same judder/stutter. It happens on both HD and UHD content and I did note this issue in the 03.04.21 Beta thread.
I usually have the Aura resolution set to 4K60 but have changed to Auto as this seems to improve but not totally eliminate the judder.
I have tested similar content, with resolution set to Auto or fixed 4K60, on ITV Hub, All4, My5, VLC Player and YouTube (HD and 4K where available) with no issues.
I was pretty sure that this issue has been introduced during the Beta testing programme but I only use iPlayer infrequently, as Ant71 has only just updated I think that could confirm my suspicions. As it happens when using the built-in iPlayer and iPlayer casting my thoughts are that the Aura resolution setting is having issues with iPlayer’s frame rate?
While three recordings were in progress, trying to access the Android Home screen led to a blank/black screen. Two recordings show as failing due to power failure. Had to unplug to solve this problem.
Heads up on an update tomorrow:
Release note:
• Font Size is added in settings : Settings > Channels & Broadcast > On Screen Display.
• EPG Background option is added in settings : Settings > Channels & Broadcast > On Screen Display.
We thought that those two features could be important to some users and managed with higher priority.
Then some bug fixes :
• Recording List focus issue when deleting recordings.
• Fix to getting Googlecast device status when casting is in progress.

We have to wait? Outrageous. 😉
First reappearance of the “black screen” issue when trying to use iPlayer for me on this latest version. Not had an incidence of that for about 4 weeks or more.
Pretty irritating as BBC1 and BBC2 are taken up with obituary programming it seems!!

Not just the BBC ITV-HD and Channel 5-HD the same. No soaps on ITV-HD this evening.

Have you tried “restart apps” from the ‘power button’ on the FVP page?

The same is happening to my Aura box too, having updated the software yesterday night.
On top of that, the picture still goes blank for about 2-3 seconds if I switch from apps onto TV, or vice versa. I feel like giving up with this box altogether!

Ah, don’t give up, hang on in there.
This box,,, as you put it has come on so so much since it was launched and the updates are coming thick and fast.
Eventually it will be spot on…. BUT, it is an android system and allows you to add and install your own software, including side loading, which can impact on the whole mechanics of the machine.
