I recently started having a problem playing recordings from my phone, Samsung s7 edge. There is a constant green flashing on all recordings. When the video lags or buffers the screen is a solid green instead of the normal black.
When casting to a newer version Chromecast the recording plays normally, except the constant buffering and hangups which I was experiencing before. Any ideas? Tablo is hardwired to the router.
Have you tried looking at the recordings via the Web browser interface? (my.tablotv.com) If the Web interface gives similar results, it could be the recordings themselves.
Do you have T-Mobile or someone else? There are at least me and another person that have T-Mobile Galaxy S7 with the problem. It started with the last update. My Nexus 9 Tablet doesn’t have the problem. What version is installed on the Tablo itself? The other person and I have 2.2.9 on Tablo. @kamy2015 and I have problem on T-Mobile S7
@TabloTV YouTube, MLB.TV, Netflix, and everything else plays normal. Only Tablo hasd flashing green.
@TabloSupport a note I forgot to mention to David, which is when I hit the back button while it is playing, the picture turns normal for a second before asking if I want to exit Tablo. Hope the team finds it soon, but I have a couple of tablets and NP and Roku to watch on. I left a tablet at work ($50 Amazon tablet)…NOT WAY would I leave my Nexus 9 tablet at work.
I Google and found something for them to try and sent email to David. They don’t have a Tmobile S7. I think it will be all Samsung S7 since it is Touchwiz, unless you root it.
I am ALSO, getting this GREEN SCREEN while streaming my Tablo videos on my Galaxy S7 Edge. Not only me actually, everyone on my account (6 family members). We all got the S7 Edge using T-Mobile carrier and we are all getting this green screen while streaming. This is really annoying since we all watch videos on our spare time at work. At this point we can’t do watch anything under this condition. @TabloSupport
I got brave and did the update because some other apps were not displaying correct. I don’t know if new Table app or there was a new TouchWiz, or if it is just the new phone, but I got a surprise…my Table app NO LONGER flashes green! It works normal. So others might want to check for another T-mobile update. Note: I am running beta Android Tablo. Maybe this is a later batch of phones. I got my old one on March 11. @TabloSupport at least mine is fixed.
Bad news…there was a second update and that is the one that did flashing green…It’s back. @Tablosupport I spoke to soon. It looks like the first update was required before the second. I still have flashing green.
Thanks @beastman, it did work on my S7 Edge after turning on the option in developer menu. Like @theuser86 said, I consider this a workaround as the option setting will get reset back to default upon reboot of the phone. I hope that this workaround will give hints to Tablo developer as to where the issue came from as well as how to fix it permanently
In the meantime, I’ll remember to turn on the option whenever I need to watch Tablo on my phone
@TabloTV Does this work around give any hints to your Android team on what to change to fix it? Every time we restart our phone we need to check yes to disable hardware overlays.
