I updated last nite and it is now very smooth - no repeated repeats on the delete function. Life with Tablo is great - the Roku 3s are working OK with little delay and the NP has always been the best and is now even better. How about working on 5.1 NOW that you have solved all the major problems.
If you do nothing, it will update eventually automatically. It just sometimes takes a little time to roll out. Sometimes, you can force an update if you go to My Apps and select the app and the “Update” button is available. (You have to look for the Update button from the My Apps section - you won’t find it in Most Recent or other areas to my knowledge). However, this option usually does not become available until shortly before it will update automatically anyway (at least that is my experience).
If you don’t want to wait, I have found that uninstalling the app and then re-installing it will install the latest version. I don’t promise that it will work every time, I only know that it has worked for me in the past and it worked for me for this update.
Just an odd quirk with Android on a Sony TV. Prior to the update, at the end of a show you’d be taken back to that episode and could delete. Now at the end, you’re taken to the main screen for the series, arrow down to the episode, select, arrow over, delete…
One thing I’m not doing, is going to the very end of the show. I generally quit prior to the 5 minutes of overrun.
I’m seeing that too, on a Nexus Player. But when you’re taken back to the main screen, the Delete button should be highlighted. If you click on that you’re given an option to delete the one watched episode.
Hi guys - Yes, this was an unintended change. We did a lot of tinkering with the deep down technology behind the Android apps during this last rev which resulted in this difference. We’ll get this fixed for the next update.
Funny - I thought this was intentional. On the FireTV, I used to have a problem (more like an inconvenience) where when I exited the episode and then selected to delete it, a refresh of the recording episodes screen would kick me out of the delete confirmation screen and I would have to navigate back in. The way it works now, that doesn’t happen anymore and I just delete from the main series page rather than the list of episodes.
I’ve been meaning to reply back to this. You are correct, it does default to delete the watched episodes. I kinda like it now that I know how it works.
