Hi.
I'll start by apologising if this subject has been covered previously. I did search, but didn't quite find what I was looking for.
I have a Humax Fox T2 which has worked well for several years and, over time, has accumulated many hours of footage I'd like to keep. I recently bought an Aura and hoped to be able to transfer these files across to it. The 'man in the shop' said he didn't see a problem with this.
What I've done so far: I copied the files I want to keep to a PC from the Fox T2. I set the Aura up as an FTP server and connected to it over my LAN using Filezilla on the PC. I wasn't quite sure which folder on the Aura to copy my files to, so I started by copying just one film (all four files, just in case) into the 'uploads' folder on the Aura. Then I browsed the Aura's recordings, using the little button immediately to the left of the 'APPS' button on the remote. Nothing. Couldn't find it anywhere. So, I transferred the same film again, this time to the 'Movies' folder. Again, nothing showed up. I repeated this process a couple more times, using different folders, but I've been unable to locate my files on the Aura. I then installed VLC player on the Aura, and, although I could then find my transferred files, the VLC player doesn't seem to want to play them. I should mention here that these files are SD, not HD. In any event, I had hoped that I would be able to play the files through the Aura's own functions, rather than with a third-party add-on, which is just cumbersome.
As a supplementary question, on my old Fox T2, it was a simple job to create sub-folders and move files around. So, for example, I had films in folders such as 'Action', 'Romance', 'Sci-Fi' etc. All of these under a main folder called 'Films'. I cannot see that the Aura offers this facility, which is slightly annoying.
Clearly, I am doing something wrong, or, possibly, the Aura is not interested in playing older files from previous Humax iterations. That would surprise me, although I can't rule it out due to lack of knowledge.
Would appreciate any help with this and hope I have supplied enough info to outline the issue.
