Another question, can IPTV apps be installed on the Aura? and can they record to the Aura hard-drive if they have an EPG and recording option? I ask as I use a free IPTV app on an android box to watch FTA German and other European TV instead of messing about with a motorised satellite dish.
CheersThe only content you can record is Live TV delivered by a terrestrial aerial. So unless you can record on the android box to a video file it's not possible. If so the box has built in chromecast so it may be poosible to view content from a mobile device directly.
Can you view the content you want in a chrome page ? Chrome has a built in chromecast icon.I haven't tried on Chrome, but I can record and set timed recordings to an external USB harddrive from the IPTV app's EPG on an Android box, so was hoping to save a HDMI port and just have the one box.
If you plug the drive into a PC and install VLC player can you view these using this app ?
Yes, actually the Android box hardrive shows up on my network and I can just copy/paste recordings to the laptop if I want to.
Then the answer is most likely yes.
There are two ways to do this.
Number one is the latest official firmware.
VLC can be installed on the Aura. The Aura has two rear usb ports. One HDMI 3.0 and the other HDMI USB 2.0.
VLC can play back usb content from either port.
The other is detailed in the public beta test thread on this forum.
The latest beta test has a FTP server client installed. Given a compatible server you should be to upload files to the internal HHD. You should consider the 2TB model for this.
Of course this depends on the update not finding any major issues in the beta testing procedure.
I have a Panasonic 4K Bluray player with network capsbility. It can see the Aura 4K Media server and play back content from the recordings folder.
You should get this once it gets to the public release you should get this automatically.
I obviously can't test this for your files, but if you download the appropriate version for MediaInfo for the kit you have the files stored on then if you open one of the files. Select view tree and use the export to text file option then this will identify the video audio and subtitle streams in the container that you have. Unless there is some odd codec that the aura cannot cope with.

Cheers for the reply, I already use Plex and have FreeNAS setup on a HP Microserver for storing playing media, but I don't want to just be able to take stuff off the Aura or put on to it, I was hoping that I could just set a timeshifted recording from the IPTV EPG to the Aura hardrive and watch it from there using something like VLC or from the recording's menu where the normal freeview programs go.
