Another big disappointment with 2.2.8. No effort put into fixing the broken link to the PLEX app that was created with the last 2.2.6 firmware update

NEW Maintenance Firmware Release - 2.2.8

Hi folks -

A new firmware release is now available for Tablo which specifically addresses the issues users have been seeing as a result of 2.2.2 and 2.2.6 loads.

Like several previous releases, this firmware will be offered in a staged rollout. A small portion of users will have access to this firmware immediately. We will increase access slowly as we judge feedback.

Release notes for 2.2.8:

• Changes to network congestion control to reduce instances of “Loading Please Wait” and also improve playback start-up performance
• Query optimizations to speed up Roku channel
• Database optimizations added to nightly maintenance
• Other minor optimizations and improvements

NOTE - Post-upgrade database processes (if needed) may take up to 40 minutes to complete. During this time the LED will be blinking. Do not power down the Tablo until the LED is solid again.

You may also need to resync your devices after the update has installed. You can do this by disconnecting and reconnecting to the Tablo app.

For tips and tricks on successful firmware updates head over to the Knowledge Base.

If you have any feedback or questions about this release, please post them below. If you need support assistance, place a ticket and we’ll be in touch.

Thanks everyone for your patience as we’ve worked through these issues. Your continued support means a lot to us.

Isn’t the PLEX channel unofficial, and due to be updated later with the new API’s?

[wnametka]

I don’t know the history or plans. I got into Tablo entirely because of the PLEX app so its a big hit to me.

There is an API coming (which I believe the developers of the PLEX channel had a hand in) so it should be getting even better, but I’m sure it will take time. I have no idea what the ETA may be…

@MotobikeMan Yes, that is what we are waiting on before I post it for you all to try. I don’t like to give away spoilers but they have done a great job on the new REST API.

I am watching tv right now through Plex Tablo channel on an Apple TV.

Plex has never and is not officially supported by Tablo. This was clear on their website before you purchased it:

“This app is developed by third-parties and is not officially supported by Tablo. For support for this app, please contact the individual app developers directly.”

I think the AppleTV app under PLEX is new. It’s great that it works. The Tablo app I’m having issues with is under PLEX on Samsung Smart TV. Under PLEX it shows up as a Tablo icon under Channels.

Did you need to do any special setup getting this to work on your Apple TV 4? I have Plex running on my server (iMac), the Apple TV 4 with the Plex app, and while I can see LIVE TV, none of my Tablo recordings show up.

I’m having the identical issue with Plex on my iPhone as well. I see the Tablo channel, I can stream live TV from the Tablo, but no recordings are found.

Any ideas?

[z06gal]

I have not recorded anything in a while until last night and it is not showing up via Plex app. I will see if there is anything on the Plex forums about this. I have no problem watching live tv though
