    Given that an update to the Android version is likely next year, I wonder what are the most urgent software problems in the Humax software that users would like Humax to fix?

    Where apps like iPlayer can hard reboot the entire box.

    Not exactly a problem but as this thread is straying to wishful thinking in an ideal world I would like frame advance and slo mo to go along with my Com5 pausing issues cured.

    An easier recovery method for lost/forgotten PIN could be useful to some.

    The FTP server on my Aura is temperamental. I'd like it to work every time, not having to stop and restart it several time and/or re-enter IP address.

    The most needed fix is the one that stops the pausing on some channels.

    I find the Freeview app crashes sometimes and won't restart. Consequently rebooting can be a pain as the Aura doesn't respond. It's possible that by restarting an app other than Freeview - I can't remember which one - it becomes possible to restart Freeview. I shouldn't have to go through hoops to do this - or crawl on the floor to pull the mains plug.

    I'm sure I could find more...

    I am surprised by that as for me it works first time every time; what FTP client are you using?

    Remind me, which channels are affected.

    How do you restart an app other than Freeview?

    "Remind me, which channels are affected."
    For me it is the Ch4 offshoot channels on Com5 and seems to be affected by time, mornings and late night can be fine whilst afternoon to night has pauses every few minutes.

    Martin:

    The FTP client isn't the problem, it's Humax's on-board FTP server which fails to respond. (Active refusal error) It could be WinSCP, the command-line FTP, FTP connections from java programs or python scripts.

    4seven is the channel that I currently have problems with.

    To stop/restart an app, assuming that what has failed doesn't prevent this:
    [F])Settings/Apps/see all apps/ optionally show systems apps, choose app, Force stop, Open.

    We only use it as a basic PVR, no streaming or remote access so the only issues we still have and would like fixing are-

    1. Not remembering where you left off when restarting playback of a recording. This is the most annoying as it just happens and requires fast forwarding to where you left off.

    2. When you start to playback a recording the Timer/Clock does not start counting meaning you can’t Pause. If spotted (it’s the first thing we look at) just restarting playback fixes it so not as annoying as 1.

    I am however not holding my breath, as stated its an “Android” update so not expecting anything to be fixed that involves Humax, hope I’m wrong.
