Note: This page has been updated to detail the instructions for the Customised Firmware version 1.14 and above - that firmware will be released in the next few days.
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 Disk. 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 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
- Place the files in the root directory (top-level folder) of your USB disk;
- Make sure the Humax is on and running normally;
- Plug the USB disk into a USB port.
- The disk 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.
