error

This was the reply from Marcus:

Hi Nick,

Thank you for contacting Humax.

Yes, unfortunately, it seems that the issue from a couple of days back reappeared today, as we are also getting similar calls and emails from different customers.
We've escalated this to our headquarters immediately and are awaiting for updates about this issue/their investigations, etc.

We are sorry for the inconvenience.

I've just emailed Marcus at the Humax Helpdesk again as he asked to be kept up to date on any problems.

the yt app works fine if you are already in it, the problem is launching it in the first place

Yes I'm getting that too. Based on previous experiences if I was to unplug for a few seconds and then start up the machine again I'd find that the YouTube icon was now missing, but instead I think I'll just wait for a few hours and see what happens. :/

09:15 12/11/25 - another day, another error.

We are back to "An unknown error has occurred. The action has failed." when clicking on the youtube icon.

Welcome to 2025 where nothing works for long.

AFAIK a full reFORMAT will do that. A reset will wipe anything you've scheduled to record in the future, but existing recordings will be retained.

Doesnt the full reset means you lose all recordings, though?

Yup finally came back on my machines about 10 minutes ago. Some sort of delayed action I guess lol.
