The issue that I previously had when watching recorded programmes from the Aura on my 400T box upstairs where the picture was jumpy when there was movement on the screen appears to have been fixed now.

There are now 50 members in the open group of testers.
Humax very pleased with the response, and thank all of you for your efforts.
I think that is enough for now, so no more testers needed for time being.It's equally nice to be able to help out, and to get both responses and actions taken to the suggestions and issues raised in a very timely manner.
So thanks to you as well for that, and hopefully it can continue as the box matures

The DLNA functionality is really useful, especially being able to access the settings as well and appears very responsive.
One thing I've noticed is that, when starting a live channel stream through the Aura app, it causes a very slight picture stutter and/or pause in audio on whatever is being viewed on the STB itself, mainly on first occasion, but sometimes in subsequent instances as well. The same occurs when starting a DLNA stream from other devices, either when watching a recording or live channel. Again, mainly on first occasion on the device, but sometimes happens on subsequent instances.

Has padding recordings not working been reported/fixed? I record a program on CBS Justice overnight and it says it's 45 minutes long and the end is cut-off, so I set padding at 5 minutes to add to the end and it still only records 45 minutes and misses the end.
CheersI think that's to do with CBS Justice not sending the recording "flags" out at the right time.
I had this on the HDR-1000S when recording "The Fugitive" before Christmas, where the ending would be cut off daily.
It got so bad, I ended up manually setting the recording for over an hour to make sure the full episode was captured.
It would be handy (perhaps a suggestion for a future update?) if the Aura timer setting could be overridden for individual programmes within the "schedule" part of the recordings menu as a belt & braces to make sure.
Some broadcasters seem to be better than others for sending accurate recording flags.
ITV also went through similar a few Years ago for a while, which was ruddy annoying when you got to 55 minutes into an hours drama & the end cut off
Thanks for the reply.
Yes it is CBS Justice' fault, but I thought the idea of the padding was to over-ride them ending the recording and add a few minutes?It should work if you've set it to pad for x minutes in "Record & Share".
If it's on Auto (beginning & end), the Aura will go by the broadcasters flags by default & stick with it.
I don't think theres any way of adjusting the default for individual programmes, though with the different betas I might have missed it!
As far as I know its all or nothing, every recording to pad for x amount of minutes (beginning or end), but it might help in the case of CBS Justice if you've set them separately.
That's why it might be handy in having an override in the timer schedule.
Or alternatively, getting in touch with CBS via Twitter might be an option?Thats what i did in Record and Share, I set it at 5 mins extra to the ending for everything rather than auto, but it isn't adding the 5 minutes.
In that case I think it's another job for Barry & Humax Towers, Shaun

Padding a recording cannot possibly work if a recording starts much later than scheduled. The box looks at the scheduled time and adjusts it so it wakes up at that time. As the actual start is a future event how long do want it to wait for a programme which may not even be transmitted.From what I understood from Shaun's later post though Graham, he was reporting he'd set the padding from Auto to a manual setting of 5 minutes before & 5 minutes after the scheduled programme in "Record & Share" and the box wasn't responding to the command.
So instead of Shaun's box recording on his own setting of 5 mins before and 5 mins after, (for example) the box recorded a prog of 1 hour duration when it should've been 1 hour 10 minutes as per his revised setting, which is why I suggested reporting it.
Perhaps Shaun could confirm if this is the case?
Thanks for the tip about "Add recording" though Graham, which I hadn't seen.
That is the case, cheers
What I don't know is if the box checks for a schedule change after the original setting.
Does the recording specify the actual date and time it recorded and the actual start and end times ? I have never used padding as it creates more problems than it solves.Good call, I tried deleting all the scheduled recordings for that show (JAG) and re-did them after setting teh padding, and last night it worked and added 5 mins.

There will be another update today, I'll post release note when advised that it is available to you all.
This will probably be the last update as development freezes in readiness for public roll out next week.
| Mon 12 Apr 2021 12:45:21 #45 | -
New update now available
Release note:
• Font size 14%, 16% added
• Layout error fixed with bigger fonts
• Font change applied in Detail information page (key I)
• Bug fix : FTP server transfer failure of big recordings in slower network environment fixed.
• Top Picks > Continue Watching ordering is changed : by last watched.
• Recordings completely watched will come first in "To Be deleted" in Recording List. (To Be deleted list will appear if HDD is over 80% full)
Confirmed this is the last update before public release unless a show stopper is found.

Thumbs up on the increased font size... I can read it with my specs off lol...
Will check the rest out later

Looking forward to trying the bigger font thats such a big improvement for me.

Well its been nice to have been involved with the beta testing, only wish I had been on board from the beginning.
Only hope that once the public firmware is released, humax still continue with the development. Fingers crossed...
| Mon 12 Apr 2021 16:33:06 #49 | -
I was going to wait until after the public roll out to mention this, but as you have asked...
Development is to continue...more detail after public update.
Of course anyone who wants to opt out at anytime only has to PM me and I'll get unit removed from testing group.
