@TabloTV No problem with plex, I don’t plan to use plex to control the Tablo, but plan to just extract recordings from the Tablos to store on the plex server (which has an absurd amount of storage), and use the Tablos for live TV, ipad streaming, and for and scheduled recording. I’ll just update my scripts that download/reassemble the videos as you advance the system.
Aha - well that’s good then :)
@TabloTV, I just opened a support message with just that question. I know there’s a show premiering on Monday, August 4th, but it’s not listed in the guide under new shows, or anywhere for that matter. I thought the guide showed two weeks of programming?
I love this feature also (premiering shows), just don’t understand why it isn’t listing this particular show.
@MsMetaP - the ‘premiering’ screen is generated by the metadata provided to us by our guide data provider. So, if for some reason it’s not tagged as ‘premiering’ it won’t show up in that screen.
With regards to Plex and multiple tablos, not only not supported, it actually causes problems (beware). I had to get Nuvyyo to manually delete one of my Tablos off of their servers (they’re tracked and used for the directory service I imagine??). That was the only way to get the Plex app to behave somewhat. When it goes to get the private ip of your Tablo, it comes back with all of your Tablo entries and in my case it was picking the IP of one that I no longer own.
(they're tracked and used for the directory service I imagine??)
That’s correct!
@jskenney tried your script today. One issue, I left out the path to ffmpeg so conversion failed and then if I tried to run it again it thought it was already done so it cancels itself.
Oh, and unless the DB is there I cannot do a -list. SO as long as I download one I can do a list, otherwise it does not work
thanks this script is just the thing I was looking for to pull files until the official method is out…
@jestep thanks for the notes, I will put in a few checks the next time I update the script (probably over the weekend).
Going to see if I can pull this together and get this running on my server running Plex - Being able to have the shows natively within Plex would be fantastic!
@mtuckman - this is actually my use case. I currently have two tivo roamios (ota) and two tablo’s, the files are pulled off and put into the appropriate directories for plex. As soon as the tablo’s can do multi-channel sound the tivo’s will go away.
As soon as the tablo’s can do multi-channel sound…
Don’t hold you breath. It is no longer scheduled for this year and there are no promises it will ever be addressed.
@mtuckman - glad it worked for you, thanks for the windows friendly mods (I use mac and linux only), I will merge them back into my source.
I made another couple of changes:
Fixed problem with DB update
Database wasn’t being updated on subsequent runs if it was previously
recording when run.Also changed temp ID to be the video # and not a UUID - the longer
value caused problems with the call to FFMPEG.</div></div>
Odd … now when I run TabloToGo.v1.py on my iMac it just throws the usage back at me…
Tablo Extractor (Version 0.23)
Usage: ./TabloToGo.v1.py "search regex"
Options: -tablo:IP_ADDR tablo ip address (multiple tablos seperated by a colon)
-ffmpeg:PATH path to ffmpeg (ex /bin/ffmpeg)
-db:file Tablo Extractor Database File
-output:dir Save final files here
-temp:dir Temporary working directory for received files
-a Reprocess ever 30 minutes, do not exit
-list List videos on Tablo(s)
-csv List videos on Tablo(s) in a script readable format
note: this sets debug/printing to off.
-handbrake Post process with handbrake (and delete .mp4 file)
-tv Process only TV shows
-movies Process only Movies
-proc:IP_ADDR:VIDEOID Process only specified file (only one)
-c Mark matched videos as complete/transfered
-debug Display all msgs
-testing Only processes 1 segmant from Tablo - to test directories, etc - Faster
-sleep Number of seconds to sleep, used with -a
Note: Search Terms are optional and should be in a quote if more than one word.
I figured out the issue… seems -temp is required in the new version
Traceback (most recent call last):

I rebooted my Tablo and it seems to be working now … so please disregard that previous post…
@mtuckman - thanks for all of the changes, I am going to work to merge your updates back into mine. I will need to figure something out about the UUID, if someone has multiple tablo’s the video-ids could be the same.
