Note: This process only works with customised firmware version 1.14 or above.
If it is not practical to connect your Humax box to the Internet via a cable or wireless, then software packages can be loaded onto the Humax by placing them onto a USB Flash / Disk drive *. The packages themselves can be downloaded from http://hummypkg.org.uk/packages.html. Each package is available for download as an individual file or as a bundle. A bundle contains the package itself along with all of its dependencies, and is the recommended and easiest way to install software.
Example Download
Installation Steps
- Download the package(s) / bundle(s) you wish to add from http://hummypkg.org.uk/packages.html;
- Package files end in .opk and bundle files end in .opb
Alternatively it is possible to view and download all packages and bundles from the WIKI Packages page
- Place the files in the root directory (top-level folder) of your USB device;
- Make sure the Humax is on and running normally;
- Plug the USB device into a port.
- The USB light will flash while the software is being installed;
- The TV may show a menu relating to accessing media on the disk which can be safely ignored (press Exit to dismiss);
- A log relating to the software installation will be created on the disk, named opkg_install.log.
Note: Some USB Devices* are reported not to work, The reason for this is not fully understood, However the following Tips are known to help :-
- Ensure no other USB devices are connected
- Do not use a USB extender cable
- Removing all other files / re-formatting can prevent file fragmentation
- Try both USB ports (HDR)
- Try a different USB Device
