    "There was a problem with parsing the package".

    Am pleased to say that I've been able to solve this problem and all is now working well... I thought I'd just follow up on this thread for the benefit of anybody else experiencing the same issue.

    Turns out the problem was a permissions issue... under "Settings" > "Apps" > "Permissions" it's necessary to enable your chosen file manager to do its thing.

    Maybe should have been obvious, I suppose, but that error message seems a very poor one to me for such a basic issue. Why not "you don't have the necessary permissions to do this", or something? Or is that just me being used to Microsoft and Apple software?!

    What version of Netflix are you running please? Is the 5.1 consistent across all films?

    Interested to try Now TV. I have the Netflix apk and that is working well. Where can I locate the latest NOW TV apk to try please?

    https://www.reddit.com/r/nowtv/comments/m5v570/wanted_nowtv_uk_apk/

    We've been using this for a few days and it works well. (Mainly because my daughters wanted to watch the Friends Reunion on Skyone)

    Like others have reported, if you play another inside the Now app, then exit, it causes problems with the Aura box. I have tried pressing STOP when watching the Now stream, and then using the back button until it asks if I want to leave the App, thinking this is the "nice" way to leave the app, but unfortunately it still seems to leave things running in background. When ever you do afterwards, seems to work for 30 seconds and then stops. Only way to resolve is to reboot the Aura box.

    Fingers crossed that Humax can do something on their end to solve this or better still we get an approved Aura Now application.

    The sideloaded Netflix app now streams 5.1 audio on all videos since the Aura was recently updated with more passthrough codecs. However the picture is still very soft.
    I compared its output to the official APK running on my nVidia shield, and the test pattern reports only running at 960x540, or qHD as it's also known.

    Considering I'm on a 1080 display will be why the PQ is naff due to the upscaling.

    Anyone with a proper 1080 Netflix APK?

    After more tinkering and research it seems my ESN wasn't correct, even though the app loaded successfully. Therefore Netflix wasn't doing the DRM check and not putting out 1080. Corrected the ESN, re-compiled the APK, and everything is 1080 finally.

    Thanks Yan2K, I followed the instructions on XDA and I've compiled the APK for installation.

    I got the same problem this morning with Netflix not working any more. It was working from the XDA compiled version.

    Netflix has encountered an error. Retrying in 15 seconds. Code: NW-6-404

    The extended error is

    ESN

    NFANDROID1-PRV-0-FVP4KGTR-HUMAXDIGITALFVP4KGTR-15265

    Software version

    8.1.2-3844 R 2020.1 android-28-JPLAYER2==humaxdigital/fvp4kgtr/ fvp4kgtr:9/PTT1.190528.001/00.09.21:user/release-keys

    Netflix version

    nrdapp 2020.1.3.1. / nrdlib 2020.1.3.1./mdxlib 2020.1.3.1.

    Platform version

    Android Ninja - 8.1.2 - 3844 - humaxdigital/fvp4kgtr/fvp4kgtr:9/ PTT1.190528.001/00.09.21:user/release-keys- release - 44 - ninja - nrdp toolchain-android22-arm-20.1@31

    Good news, there’s a fix. I’ll build a new APK this afternoon. The fix is in page 41 of the XDA thread at the beginning of this topic.

    ianmcq28 said:
    I can confirm the NFANDROID1-PRV-E-FVP4KGTR-HUMAXDIGITALFVP4KGTR-15265 for Humax Aura works

    Changed PRV-0 to PRV-E

    (I'm in UK, VPN bypassing Netflix)

    If you're struggling follow the build 3844 instructions on page 1 - download BatchApktool and go from there

    To get ESN follow the Netflix Certification Bypass Patcher 1.E14 instructions to get this (again on page 1).

    Use the ESN in the BatchApktool method, changing the PRV-0 to PRV-E, and making sure the last - is kept

    So: "NFANDROID1-PRV-E-FVP4KGTR-HUMAXDIGITALFVP4KGTR-15265-"

    Uninstall old version on device and install new APK with adblink or similar

    Thanks to all!
