Legacy Web App & Variable Speed playback, dead as of Nov 2025?

Whatever workarounds I used previously to allow
http://my.tablotv.com
to load the Tablo Windows web app in either the Chrome or MS Edge browsers no longer work. Both redirect to https://… always, no matter what.

Chrome will display a page of outdated workaround info.

MS Edge just hangs forever as it tries to reload over & over, spiking my laptop’s CPU & GPU while the fan spins up trying to cool the overload.

I’ve had no luck finding any workarounds that work anymore. I think the browsers by locking down security to thwart the hackers have broken the Web App for good.

I liked the Web App because I could use a browser extension for fast playback speeds. I can’t find Variable speed playback in any of the Tablo regular apps in the Windows and Android app stores.

If anyone has found a variable speed playback method for the legacy Tablo please share. Thanks

It still currently works on a MacBook Pro. Even clicked on your link and works.

I use Firefox and see this in my browser. How are you able to change the playback speed? Also, if you’re using Windows, see if the Legacy Windows App is still available in the Microsoft Store - it’s still working for me but still no variable-speed playback - I don’t think I’ve ever seen variable-speed playback in any Tablo app.

Now it is loading for me too, once again this morning (Sunday, Nov 16 2025). I’ve changed nothing; maybe a windows update? Something at Tablo?

It hasn’t worked for me the last 2 months or so, except for one Sunday a few weeks ago when it suddenly loaded & worked as usual, until I had to shut down the computer. Afterward the Tablo web app would not load again.

Web apps & pages can change like the weather.

Re: wysiwyggin

The regular computer App for the legacy Tablo is still in the Microsoft store, but not the newer Tablo’s.

The Web App you see in Firefox looks the same as the one that I see in MS Edge on Windows 11.

I added a browser extension to MS Edge called “Global Speed” (by polywock). There are several similar add-on extensions available via Microsoft, but I like that one best since it is highly customizable (with a little coding).

I don’t use Firefox, but from what I read there are similar add-ons for Firefox.

My guess. Chrome bug. They are now ignoring the insecure site setting (a Chrome setting). Remember when Google “claimed” they only hire the “brightest” and “smartest” employees? Yeah, that stopped being true years ago. With that said, may of us warned old Tablo (the original company, not whatever it is now) that their WAMP design would likely cause problems (because unintelligent companies could not understand it, companies like Google, for example). I guess you could say fourth gen “fixed it” by ensuring “browser never”.

The Legacy Web App (on Windows 11) is dead again --since about a week ago; on both MS Edge & Google Chrome browsers. Whether it will work from week to week is so unpredictable that it’s pretty much worthless.

Sorry you’re experiencing this. I’ve been using Firefox for years and I haven’t seen any issues. You could also see if the Tablo app is still available in the Microsoft Store and install that to see if it solves your sporadic issues. It’s also working well.

The legacy Tablo app is still on the Microsoft Store but the Tablo 4G app hasn’t made it there yet.

This thread is about the Legacy device so, no, I don’t think there will ever be a Windows Gen4 app.

When I checked last Friday (Dec 12) it was working for me again, using
Windows 11, MS-Edge browser.

@WMC7refugee - you should check out the Tablo app in the Windows Store. It’s actually quite nice and I think you can resize it smaller than a browser window so it fits better on your desktop.

Although, I don’t know how much longer you’ll be able to use it. I believe Tablo is wanting OG Legacy users to eventually move over to the Gen4 app.
