Props to Humax. Took some time but they've brought a pretty big update to fix a lot of known issues. Shows they are listening. Has anyone tried installing the Google chromecast TV launcher on it? I'm guessing the freeview apps will just work as normal apps..

With the new update, does the hard drive still continue to spin?
Currently with my 4000 I have it set to go into low power mode when I put it in standby which turns off the hard drive.
Am I understanding correctly to get the equivalent in the Aura I would have to press and hold the standby button and select deep sleep? If so, would it not make sense to have an option in the settings for it to go into deep sleep automatically if that was your preference?

Nice update, really happy that the Aura will now detect and switch its output to the correct native frame rate for the source. I am hoping that a future update will allow output at the correct native resolution. Audio functionality also seems to be much improved, although it still doesn't correctly pass through any of the advanced audio formats.
Some quick testing using my AVR to confirm the output properties show the Aura correctly detecting and sending 24/25/50/60Hz video content from live TV and recordings, as well as streamed from iPlayer and played locally from Plex. Everything is still upscaled to 4K though.
On the audio side it is now correctly sending stereo and 5.1 as multichannel, but nothing above that. DTS-HD, Dolby TrueHD, Atmos, and DTS:X are all sent as 5.1 multichannel rather than correctly passed through untouched to the amp.

Thank you for the screen shots. I must say I am impressed with the app. I just need to check to see if the bug when I set a recording to record the series that it shows in the EPG as it seems a bit ad hoc as to whether the R logo shows or not and I have to check the schedule each time which is a little annoying.The bug is still there, at least for my recording shedule.
But overal pleased with the update.Thinking about it I though last night I did a deep power off, today the boot up took awhile and asked me to log in to my Google account. So, different to a reset, could this have have a bearing on the bug?

The recent Aura update has fixed a number of bugs for me except that there is still an issue with the Aura EPG not displaying all my scheduled recordings by not showing a letter R in all cases but bizarrely they do show correctly on the android aura app
It must be stressed that the recording schedule does display all my future recordings and all recordings take place as expected but just not displaying them all in the EPG.It would be nice in the future if the android Aura app would display in landscape orientation as well as portrait and having the ability to only display favourite channels. I believe the IOS app maybe forthcoming soon according to reports on this forum.
