Introducing: Plex Channel for TabloTV

@Davidvr
@Jestep

I deleted the Tablo.bundle folder in the Plex plug-ins folder when I reinstalled and replaced it with a new folder. That was over an hour ago. It seems to be updating now.

@HarryR, @Davidvr, see my note above. Seems to be working good since

@Jestep that seem to reset it when I access Plex through the AppleTV when I access it through the Mac it shows the old artwork. Hum

Jestep · July 11, 2014, 7:11pm

@mb190e clear you browser cache. For whatever reason it seems that helped in the browser

Davidvr · July 11, 2014, 10:32pm

That’s great news! I have been racking my brain trying to figure out what it could be

mb190e · July 11, 2014, 11:37pm

The Tablo app for the iPad is great, air-playing through the AppleTV works nicely, but I’m glad to have Plex on the Apple TV now. I can play recorded tv and watch live TV without using airplay.

In Windows 7/8,

%LOCALAPPDATA%\Plex Media Server\Plug-In Support

Delete the folder

com.plexapp.plugins.tablo

inside both the Caches and Data folders

Restart PMS. This will clear the cache for the Tablo plugin and will update the channel listing. I was wondering if that could be included as an option in the plugin. Also, would the SYNCH option available only for PLEXPASS users do the same thing except for all plugins?

Update: I guess the SYNCH option has something to do with offline viewing of media. It synchs mobile devices.

Davidvr · July 13, 2014, 12:10am

Thanks for posting those directions. Synch does not work due to bugs in plex outside of our control

Jestep · July 13, 2014, 3:41am

@Davidvr, ok it happened again. Had to stop Plex Server, delete the same dir again, restart plex server. Clear Browser cache as it still showed the old shows. Then it showed the correct shows… Can’t tell what is happening, is it some caching that is set someplace, maybe needs to be set to a shorter time frame? Although, the other day it worked every half hour correctly , but I only checked for a few hours or so

Davidvr · July 13, 2014, 7:19pm

@Jestop Can you download the build I just committed and give it a try? I found a plex setting that might have caused the live tv screen to not reload (also this build has a view new features, mainly you can now view scheduled recordings)

Jestep · July 13, 2014, 11:43pm

@Davidvr, still shows as .96 did the version not get updated? I know it is newer because I also see the About your Tablo…

But I will let you know if I see it happen again

Davidvr · July 13, 2014, 11:58pm

@Jestep sorry I forgot to increment it

Jestep · July 14, 2014, 12:12am

@Davidvr, figured, no worries

Jestep · July 14, 2014, 2:36am

"This channel is not responding."

Getting this on scheduled recordings. It worked the first time, but now it gets that. All the rest still working good

HarryR · July 14, 2014, 3:19pm

I get “This channel is not responding.” on scheduled recordings and no change in Live TV

Jestep · July 14, 2014, 3:29pm

Yea, this morning I had to delete the data again to get live tv to update again/

Davidvr · July 14, 2014, 3:33pm

@Jestep Did you try the Reset option in the help menu first?

Jestep · July 14, 2014, 3:54pm

@Davidvr, oh dang I did not, I will try that if it happenes again

Davidvr · July 14, 2014, 7:34pm

@Jestep @HarryR I think I found the issue with scheduled recordings and I’ll update it later tonight with a fix

cjcox · July 15, 2014, 2:46am

Doesn’t work for me on a Linux based PMS.
