How to use the app?

USB Mode

• Plug in the USB to your device (in case of tablet use an OTG cable), when prompted make sure you allow HUR to be the default app for the action and you check the always box.
• If you are running the app on a device with Android 7.0 or higher, you might need to pull down the notification bar and select the connected USB device before the app starts (this is device dependent)
• If the app does not start automatically when you plug in your phone, you can always open HUR, tap the USB button and select the phone from the list.

FAQ / Troubleshoot

All I get is a black screen

- If you are using an Android powered headunit (Joying, Xtrons, etc) look for a setting on your device which allows Video Playback during drive

- Try changing HUR settings and enable Software decoding

HUR crashes after start

- Try changing HUR setting and disable "Media Workaround"

Compatible with: Joying, Eonon, Grom Vline, Xtrons, PX5 and PX3 units, A-Sure, RK3188 units, RK3066 units, Avin and other Android powered head units.
