So I haven’t tested this yet but I think it will do the trick (Edit: tested and works!). I have used it for other things and will test tonight when I am home. Download the below app Web Video Cast from the Play Store. What this app does is it looks in HTML pages for web videos and then casts them (not mirrors!) them to chromecast and supports http live streaming (what Tablo uses). Here is what I think will work (Edit:tested and works!):
- Open app (the app is really just a web browser)
- Connect to Chromecast using the cast button at the top blue bar
- Browse within this app to my.tablotv.com (this brings up the familiar Tablo interface)
- Select a recording and play like you would with Chrome
- The video player will show but won’t start playing, you will see a new play button on the top blue bar near the browser address, click it
- This will pop up a list with something like ‘pls’ as the name. The top one is always the latest one you want to pick, tap that and it will send the stream link to the Chromecast
This app will also give you a remote with skip functionality and a notification at the top! (confirmed). You can now turn off you phone or airplane mode and the video keeps on chugging, studder free. You basically do not need the Tablo Android app anymore.

There are similar apps for iOS but one step at a time.
