Could not find this addressed in the Forum. Would love to be able to manage my Tablo Gen 4 device via my Chrome browser on a PC. Any plans for that in the future?
It is not listed as a current or coming soon app. So for now it is just for legacy Tablos.
Thanks, Snowcat. That was what I suspected. Hopefully, it is on someone’s to-do list.
I agree. Windows is used by many, but yet no app for the Tablo four series? This is a must do in my opinion.
MPEG2 compatibility is likely preventing a windows app.
That’s why coders get the big bucks. They solved ot for Android, why not Windows?
I see Windows 10 has a MPEG2 extension for their player.
Ditto request
The request was “to manage the device”, not to watch. I would also like to be able to manage the app while others are watching the Tablo. I would also like such a management option to work remotely when off network, like, in the app.
The Tablo has no apps for just managing devices.
Hence, the request for one.
What would it do that you can’t do on your phone?
…when off the home network. The latest app can’t do that. Don’t need access to view live or recorded shows. Just the capability to manage the device, schedule shows, etc. when away from home.
Use case - while we’re out/away from home, I find out a show I’d like to record is about to start. I can quickly schedule while out using mainstream devices, but not the Tablo.
Tablo has said several times that remote programming is on their wish list, but they do not have an ETA yet. I agree that we should have it, but I am not expecting it any time soon. They have also said that they want remote viewing, but that is going to be tricky with the format and file sizes in the Gen 4.
Do you have an app for windows 11?
Short Answer - No
My work around for my 2n1 laptop. I installed https://www.ldplayer.net/
From there I was able to install Tablo App from the Google Play store. Pretty much the only thing I use the Android player for. It does rev-up the fan a little bit but it works for me. YMMV.
Just to be sure I understand, I can see Tablo on my Windows PC using the link you have provided?
Yes. LDPlayer is an Android emulator for Windows. There is also Bluestacks
People on this forum said they had better luck with the LDPlayer as far as it working with the Tablo. So I just tried the LDPlayer one and it works for me.
Bluestacks Air works great on my MacBook Air M2.
