Indirectly, that chimes with my own experience. If I 'record' an ITV 1 programme and then browse my Aura's hard disk from a PC (I use Filezilla to access it) then I can see that the programme i recorded is actually there and taking up disk space (the 'recordings' guide on the Aura also shows it as existing). However...still no picture available through the Aura. Humax seem to have gone very quiet on this (for me, at least). I'm starting to wonder if they haven't just filed it in the 'too hard' out-tray.

Interesting...
I've emailed them again this morning with that finding (they may already know it but doesn't hurt) so will see what they come back with..
Was thinking of changing it for the new Manhattan T4 which seems to be better from the reviews I am seeing, but the annoyance of only recording 2x at a time, whereas the Humax can do up to 4 is there. We regularly have 3x things recording on a Saturday night.
Guess could always get the Manhattan and run it in parallel?
Or Humax could just sort the Aura issue out?

Yes, I know you shouldn't have to, but if that also works it tells us something. I'm just not sure what!

Thanks - Yes I tried that. Needed to install a codec for Win media player (still didn't work) but VLC player would play the program fine. So - am receiving a signal and the Aura is recording it fine...just no display.

Interested to know what login credentials are needed to access the Aura's filesystem from another device on the same network ?
Our problems started around 1st-2nd September when recording a series of ITV1 programs starting in late August. The early episodes recorded and playback fine. The 2nd September episode appeared to record OK but gives the familiar black screen response on playback.
Both ITV1 and ITV3 are still not working on Aura (in the East of England).

I reported some time ago on this forum that recordings of CH3 Sandy Heathg were present but could only be viewed via the media server. I think that the media server app processes the saved recording before sending them to wifi connected devices. There are a number of setting related to the quality etc to be used.
To my mind the issue is that devices connected via the FreeView can't view either live broadcasts or recorded broadcasts from ch 3 (among others). I didn't buy a large HD TV to watch programs on my iPhone.
It would be nice if Humax kept us up-to-date on what they are doing on this forum.

Interested to know what login credentials are needed to access the Aura's filesystem from another device on the same network ?Press F on the remote and then navigate to settings (cog wheel) then Record&Share. Set File share on. Underneath that is FTP address which should display (dim, so can't be changed):
FTP://aura:<Pin Code>@<IP address>:2323/
where the pin code defaults to 0000 unless you changed it and the IP address is the IP address of your Humax and should be displayed. On my network I'd login via FTP to 192.168.1.12, port 2323, user aura, password 0000.| Wed 25 Sep 2024 6:59:10 #108 | -
If the ITV1/3 SD programmes play using VLC on a PC they'll probably play full screen on a TV by using the VLC app on the Aura. Navigation to the recordings is complicated though.
From the VLC Aura app, use "browsing" and navigate to
Internal HDD/Android/data/com.humaxdigital.corona.tvinput.freeview/files
Save the recordings folder as a favourite. That should add "recordings" to browser locations. Selecting recordings gives you a list of folders <Epoch Timestamp>name_of_programme ( eg. 1727249473News). Inside the folder is a .TS file which should play - unless it's HD.| Wed 25 Sep 2024 7:33:39 #109 | -
Thanks EEPhil. Logic suggests that's true, although I haven't yet tried it. But as you say, it is a highly fiddly business and it's not what I paid for, either. Come on, Humax - how hard can this be?!
