My guess is that they may be preparing to update the new AuraEZ and we are testing the ground.
Aura Android 14 update now

The other thing I've noticed is that the sound is slightly lower than it was before. I have the sound turned up to its fullest on the Aura which is '15' (which is what I had before) but I now have to turn the sound up an extra 2-3 notches on my tv.

Exactly. Unbelievable really!

where do I see if I have 1.00.59?
edit: I found it. I have 1.00.59.

Yes, I confirm those settings in Filezilla. The Aura is visible in the router on 192.168.1.115, which is what I have in Filezilla.
Thanks also to EEPhil - turning on and off various things is exactly what I've been doing, with no luck so far, but I'll try again.
I don't use FTP much, so I think I'll wait to see if another update comes along. Maybe that will fix it, or at least it will be fixed after another update and a factory reset.
Yes, I've noticed that as well. But it's different for the Aura's own recordings, which have to be up several notches, and files streamed from the PC and viewed via Kodi which are unchanged. Not a major problem, but hardly an improvement.
I am used to the screen do a quick flash when it changes resolution, but now it flashes several times but doesn’t seem to make a changes.
You can change the resolution from Auto to a fixed one, but when you are watching films etc with differing resolution it is often not the right one and you get juddering on panning shots.
Yes I have noticed this too.
This update is a mess, I used to have one of the reliable Auras, but not any more.
Hoping they sort this soon or I will be jumping ship and getting another EE TV Box Pro paired with a fire stick as they are so reliable and just work with no agro
In the past when I lost access to the Aura from My PC I switched both off, the Aura at the mains , PC normal shutdown.
And brought therm back on so that the devices had a fresh start.
It cured the issue at the time with a windows 10 setup and filezilla would then access the Aura without error.

A standard reboot not a reset ought to work.
Thanks to Andrew! and EEPhil. I've now removed the power supply plug to the Aura and replaced it (the first time I've done a hard reboot since the update). I then switched off both PCs on my network, counted to ten and switched them on again. Neither PC can access the Aura with Filezilla.
I'm going to leave this for now. If and when a further update for the Aura comes along, I'll see what happens then.
I haven't heard about many interface changes, but wanted to check before I update (if it's ever offered to me). On the Freeview Play home screen, is the Continue Watching section still there? I never use anything else on that screen, but Continue Watching saves me having to remember what I'm in the middle of.

For some reason the update wouldn't download from my WiFi hot-spot. It did, with about 3 retries, by tethering my phone to a pc and sharing with the LAN. Exactly the same network! Oh well.
After update:
All the possible FTP problems don't exist and the Aura behaves as previous.
Can't tell whether the weather is a problem, I am getting pixellation on some multiplexes that wasn't there before. The signal quality is doing yo-yo impressions. I really hope this isn't the fault of the update. A quick check suggests tropospheric ducting is a possibility in some areas today - but not mine.
First use of a channel after update gives a blank screen. Switching away and back gets a picture and, so far, every subsequent visit is okay. There appears to be an extended blank time on channel change.

Did you leave the aura off for at least 10 minutes after pulling the plug, it is safer to let it sit a while and despite some contention you get better results.
Is the router blocking the two machines as I assume it is feeding both, it may be worth looking on its info pages.
Can you see the Aura on the devices and printers page in windows, I can even browse my unit from windows 11 explorer (Aura 4K Media Server) under network connections "This PC".

I think Humax may have tweaked some of the tuner settings. I needed a powered splitter before update. Now a passive one will do (for now) and the pixellation problem has gone.
I also have the USB drive is corrupt message.
Putting non-Humax originated video into Movies (and other directories) works and, unlike previously, they can be deleted using a file management app.

I used to get wavy lines many years ago on older PVR box's and had to use an attenuator as the signal was too strong after the PVR box boosted it.
Not ten minutes, no.
The router shows the Aura on 192.168.1.115, which is what I have in Filezilla.
Yes, under 'Multimedia Devices' as 'Aura 4K Media Server (192.168.1.115)' I don't see it in Windows Explorer, but I'm on Windows 10 which may or may not be relevant.
Thanks for the suggestions, but I'm leaving it for now. I did just try a Freeview reset on the Aura (having saved preferences first). After rebooting and doing a channel scan, it correctly reloaded my preferences, but this made no difference to the FTP problem.
