To be fair Barry, I think of you more as trusted independent intermediary between Humax and us users. Trusted by all parties.

Thanks for the information Barry.

Based on what you say, is it reasonable to describe your position as an agent of Humax, authorised to distribute their software?

I have just checked my system for version information as follows:

Software version: UKSFAC 3.00.96
Loader version: UKSFAC 1.00
System ID: 809C.7D11
Update date: 13 AUG 2018

YouTube:
Version web_20210330_00_RC00
Device: TV,Freesat/1.0/hb1000s, Opera(12.50.9.80), Linux mips
Language: en-GB
Geo: GB
Client: TVHTML5, 7 20210330.00.00

Note, no new system software from Humax since 13/08/2018.
Note also, that the YouTube app version looks to be less than 2 days old.

And so my current questions are:
1. If I follow your procedure, precisely what software will be updated?
2. Will the version data be updated?
3. If Google are releasing the YouTube app so frequently, won't this then overwrite the fix?
4. Question 3 assumes that the problem is a Google problem, but I suppose the app might be calling a generic search ui contained in the Humax system software.
5. Has the software been fully regression tested?
6. Is there a rollback procedure in the event of further issues?

Thanks again
Stuart

This is getting tiresome.

No, I'll repeat I am a consumer, nothing more nothing less.

Thanks Barry.

Sorry if it seems tiresome. That's not my intention at all.

You indicated in an earlier post that the software belongs to Humax and that they have authorised you to distribute it on their behalf. If this is the case, then surely it makes you more than a mere consumer, unless I'm missing something?

I'm treating this as a production issue, so just need to understand what's happening before I proceed. I don't think that's unreasonable but others may well disagree.

All the best
Stuart

Barry has been a beta tester for far longer than this Forum has existed; he has contacts at Humax but to my knowledge that is the limit of his involvement.

I have just checked my system for version information as follows:

Note, no new system software from Humax since 13/08/2018.

and your point is what precisely?

Note also, that the YouTube app version looks to be less than 2 days old.
And so my current questions are:

All player apps seem to be under fairly continuous development so nothing unusual.

1. If I follow your procedure, precisely what software will be updated?

The main firmware for the box.

2. Will the version data be updated?

Yes.

3. If Google are releasing the YouTube app so frequently, won't this then overwrite the fix?

No.

4. Question 3 assumes that the problem is a Google problem, but I suppose the app might be calling a generic search ui contained in the Humax system software.

I think the problem is that it is calling a function in the browser built into the Humax firmware which doesn't function in the way the app requires.

5. Has the software been fully regression tested?

I doubt any PVR software is fully regression tested. Plenty of people here have installed it without any major problems.

6. Is there a rollback procedure in the event of further issues?

Download the previous version of the software from the Humax website now and install it if required. Humax software updates are, as far as I know, always complete (rather than patches) so you can go backwards and forwards as you wish.

Or just install the update and stop being paranoid that Barry is going to be surreptitiously harvesting all your personal data to commit identity theft. :roll:

Hi all, just set up my Humax and have the same YouTube search issues described in this thread - could I please be sent the updated software that fixes this?

It's a Humax HB-1100S

Thanks!
