I’m new to Humax – just four days – but having installed Kodi Matrix 19.3, I have successfully installed Netflix in there. It needed a bit of fiddling to set up and a bit of tweaking, but it now runs perfectly.

I haven’t tried it as I’m not bothered about Netflix, but has anyone tried extracting the Netflix APK from an Amazon Fire Stick and sideloading that? As the Amzon firesticks are Android based I did that with the Britbox APK and have a fully working Britbox app on my Aura.
I’ve had my Aura for 2 months now. Totally agree that as a Freeview PVR it’s great. And that’s why I bought it. For the wife because she wanted that feature which although available on our LG c1 TV the TVs Freeview recording is buggy as hell!
But it’s also fixed many other UX issues the LG had brought on itself. IMO unbelievably bad UI. And the remote for the LG is also about as bad as I can imagine. So the humax has fixed that issue too.
Earned its money in my case.
The fact is Android TV is a bonus but they do need to keep it up to date.
Barry? I don’t suppose you’ve heard anything re updates?

+1
I was told by Colin at Humax support that a firmware fix coming for the timeshift issue that alot of users have reported on Recorded TV or Live TV…. That was about 6 months ago and no firmware update and no Beta.
Also concerned that android devices get normally two releases on phones, and were on Android 9 on the Aura (IIRC) so when are we getting the next release?

Nothing I’m afraid.
I wonder why they have opted to just not focus on fixing any remaining issues seems this is their latest flagship model?
Whats worse is they have even aknowledged the issues, they had replied even to me saying they are aware of certain issues.
It makes you wonder if they just cannot find a fix for them?
One hopes the next firmware is Google TV with all problems resolved.
As it stands, it a pita as a pvr. One of the good points is being able to run Jellyfin.

Are you saying that it will run Jellyfin as a server, a media player only or as a fully functional pvr?
It really is shocking customer service
It is weird.
They had a burst of activity, fixing bugs, adding features, an impressive showing…
… then nothing, for months.
It wouldn’t surprise me if some of the key developers have left. The tech sector is hot at the moment (software and hardware folk), so that could explain the sudden lack of support.
Humax are no Samsung, e.g. Samsung have thousands of developers who continue to support devices even if key people leave.
It might make you think twice before rushing out to buy a new product from them?

Too right!
Its more likely that the code was writen by temporary staff on
contract – posibly not even UK based.
Contract finished and they have left.
