[Discussion] Humax software update 28.26.0

Philip Trott

Hi all,

Please feel free to discuss the Humax software update 28.26.0 in this thread.

Keith

Hallelujah - it may only have one small improvement but it will make a huge difference!

Finally a back journey out of a recording that returns you to exactly the episode tile you went in on!!!!!

AdamDempsey

It seems the smaller, quicker released updates Next Gen promised are true

Visionman

Yes!!! This makes using YouView sooooo much easier! Hey - small improvement - big difference ! 

SomersetBob

Next step, the right forward journey hopefully :-) One small step for NextGen a giant leap for customer satisfaction.

Matthew Johns

Much appreciated! Please continue to work on the intuitive interface!

redchiz

Nice one, keep it up YouView!

In the release note it states - "pressing the 'Back' button on the remote control will now return you to the episode selection screen".

It doesn’t state what happens if you press the  stop button - where do you land?  I usually press stop when credits start rolling

 

But remember this posting - “This recording has ended press back to dismiss” - Why?

The last comment in that thread was from Yasha Noke  who wrote:-  

My first thought was  - "why the extra pop-up?".

My next thought was the same as yours i.e. puzzlement as to why the extra pop-up was talking about a recording ending when it was a playback of a recorded programme that had ended.

My third thought was that perhaps I was out of touch with colloquialisms, but as I could not see the point of the message appearing I pressed "BACK to dismiss" what I still view as a superfluous pop-up.

Hi dave - I always press stop, it also works as expected now taking you back to the relevant episode tile

Well that’s better news – why didn’t they put that in the release note?

YouView release notes have never been the most comprehensive ;-)

Probably because they don't quite know themselves what's in any given release :-(

I repeat, if there is a release note for 28.26.0 then where is it?

Thanks. The original link didn't work when I first tried it.

This update is a big step forward.

Joe

Major step forward. Very welcome.I can tick one thing off my wish list for series folders.

Still work to be done in series folders, but this addition is a big part of it.

Apologies it's updated to 28.26.0 - but still has Mytv tiles with no obvious options for lists - the annoying bar is still there when it turns on - so there's the confirmation - the customer is unimportant - the developers vanity reigns supreme.

Sorry, I must have missed the announcement that with this update, NextGen development is now complete.

Where was that, please?

The only new feature is the back journey from recordings and a few bug fixes. Other items on your wish list may or may not appear in future - I would hazard a guess as to 'may not'. The 'annoying bar' would be more useful if it showed the user's favourite channels - then you could quickly jump to a channel of interest straight from the display - but oh dear - YouView don't do favourites.

I think there's some Stockholm syndrome at play here!

The same reason as always, updates are staggered across box types, providers, etc.

I thought i heard on the Connected TV Conference youtube video the mention of favourites, so maybe some progress there.

No Tim. I don't believe he was referring to channel favourites, but content.
