New situation tonight - 3 shows set to record on local network stations. NCIS @ 7, NCIS New Orleans & Agents of Shield at 8. At about 8:55 we had a small power glitch that was just enough to shut reset everything.
I am not sure what happens in a situation like this, but none of these 3 recordings are showing up in the “recordings” menu. Not even the 1 hour show that was done recording almost 1 hour before the power glitch.
I have set a couple of more things to tape later this evening, and they have recorded fine. What can be expected if something like this happens again? Isn’t it odd that all 3 shows are not on the list? I would have assumed that the 2 shows would be there, but cut short. Or maybe something similar to our old Dish DVR which would resume recording and have it in 2 chunks.
After a power failure Tablo will resume any recordings still in progress.
Two recordings will be created for the interrupted airing – one from before and one from after the interruption event.
Additionally, if there is another airing of the show in the next 14 days, your Tablo will automatically reschedule this recording. Tablo will also reschedule recordings interrupted by reception problems.
In order for Tablo to reschedule a later airing, you must have the Smart Scheduling feature ‘Don’t record duplicates’ enabled.
If the later airing(s) create conflicts, they will be placed within the conflicts screen where if you wish you can unschedule the conflicting programs.
Yes if you’re on the 2.2.5 beta I would definitely open a Support Ticket to have them look at your logs, maybe you found a new bug. 2.2.2 had a bug where recordings would record but then not show up in the recordings listing, aka be in purgatory. 2.2.5 was supposed to fix that.
I was looking at my new router, and made the discovery that the router defaulted to being in GMT. With problems people have been having about missed recordings, I thought I would bring that up. If you recently got a new router, or never set the time zone in the router, it might not be local time. I also put in the time server (see http://www.pool.ntp.org/en/use.html) so that IF the power goes down, the router would get the correct time. I need to RTFM about all the features of this router. It is more advanced than my previous one. I got the TP Link AC 1750 v2 that wirecutter.com recommended as the router for most. There is a newer version of this router, but cost a lot more and since it’s just me, this is plenty of bandwidth. I only have 50 down and 5 up.
