We had an issue opened for this but closed it as we weren’t able to reproduce it and the folks who had originally flagged it were just recently reporting it was working again.
Out of curiosity, what happens if you reboot the Apple TV?
Also, what ‘minor’ version of tvOS are you running? (i.e. what are the numbers that come after 14.3?)
For me, they disappear when I reboot the AppleTV (usually to try and kick a misbehaving app in the butt, the SyFy app has had issues since its recent update for some reason for example).
They seem to usually come back after I’ve used the Tablo app and allowed the thumbnails in the All Recordings section to fully populate? The two most recent times, the Top Shelf Thumbnails didn’t appear even after I went through each section in Recordings and waited and made sure that all thumbnails had generated in each? So, as I said earlier, doesn’t seem to be a definite pattern one way or the other?
This has persisted through at least two Tablo reboots I believe?
The tablo and AppleTV in question are at my parents home. Will look up the specific tvOS version when I can run over there.
We think we know what’s happening… Apple has changed some of the logic that they use to make this feature work. The next time we update the Apple TV app we’ll switch to their ‘new way’ which should be more reliable.
Yes, I was told this would be addressed months ago. I have placed calls to Tablo support and told that you were aware of the situation and that a update would be coming…
We had scheduled the issue to be reviewed for the next update but then we weren’t able to reproduce it and some of the other Tablo customers reporting the same issue previously also weren’t able to reproduce it. At that point in time the issue was put on hold.
It’s been put back on the schedule for the next update but we don’t have a specific ETA to share.
I have an issue with the top shelf not showing the pictures of the TV shows. It shows a white background with three dots on it for each show. It does show the name of the show underneath. It has done this for a long time. The new app update this week didn’t fix it either. I have tried deleting the app and reinstalling, rebooting the appletv and tablo with no help. I must be missing something. Thanks Ed
^ This is the expected result if your Tablo does not have a subscription, and all of your schedules are manual recordings. Is this the case for your setup?
