I watch SD recordings from my Aura on our Bedroom TV using Kodi on a Firestick and it works a treat. I am able to jump through the ads as well without issue. It will also resume if you stop partway through.
It will play HD recordings too, but if I try and jump it will stop playback and will lose its position.
That sounds promising. What method did you use to 'connect' the Aura as a video source to Kodi?
Cheers

I did the following within Kodi:
Movies
+ Add videos
Browse
UPnP devices
My Aura was visible including it’s up address
OK
That was it, hope this helps

Cheers, I will give that a go. I used FTP settings, so maybe upnp is the better way to go.
interesting I cannot get any of that pause/jump/etc to work on any app, i tried including my Mac, Android phone, fire or Roku.Harters - 16 hours ago »

Did you already say if you're doing any conversions to mobile format on recordings on the Aura first?
There hasn't been a recent update has there, I didn't try for a few weeks. Thanks for the information, if it works for you it can't just be a limitation on the device after all
I see streaming recorded shows to different devices as quite niche really, most will watch on the TV it's recorded from or will use the Aura app to watch on their phone...I haven't used that much but it seems to work well.ched999uk - 1 day ago »
I am quite surprised that there are not more threads about streaming from the Aura and that sort of stuff as it does seem to be the bit of kit most likely to be able to do this sort of stuff. Maybe it's just very few people use Freeview stuff anymore - judging by the number of boxes for sale there isn't much demand.
I will keep trying...

I haven't done any conversion before hand, it simply plays from the Aura using Kodi onto my TV upstairs using a Firestick
Press once on the round shuttle button and it jumps +10 seconds, press again and it will jump +30. If I press it 3 times quickly, it will jump 3 minutes.
It's curious that it works for SD not HD. thinking about it all my recordings are from HD channels. But not all are shows that benefit much (I'm recording all of Frasier!) I'll have to test this next
Well that's weird, I installed Kodi (v20) on the Chromecast and there is no "upnp devices" option at all.

I've got Kodi V20 on my Aura and when in the add video screen I can browse and get the list of things like Network (SMB), Local, upnp etc.
