Over the past month we’ve completed testing and QA of the new Microsoft Edge browser with regards to compatibility with the Tablo web app at my.tablotv.com.
Our tests seem to have gone smoothly, but before we add Edge as an officially supported browser for Tablo, we’d like to solicit some additional feedback from users.
The MS Edge web browser you’re referring to is the new one based on Chromium.
We don’t all have that version installed yet.
So, if the version you want us to test is the Chromium based version, then we need clarification, like how do we know if we have the version you want us to test installed?
Answered my own question.
This is what will happen when trying to connect to http://my.tablotv.com via the non-Chromium version of MS Edge:
Edge Browser appears to work fine with surround sound. Also it may be my imagination but it synched up faster. I didnt time so no hard facts, it was a wow that was quick.
As soon as the Chrome-based edge browser became available some months back, I tried it and it worked just the same as Chrome. I don’t have commercial skip so I couldn’t try that, but all other functionality seems to be there.
That did turn up in my search. The heading is actually " ablo also supports a variety of mobile devices and PCs including:" devices not specifically supported browsers, if someone was secreting for supported browsers… still turns up - not much.
Recently, the Microsoft Edge browser (which is based on Chrome) has made changes that prevent the Tablo web app (http://my.tablotv.com/) from being supported on this browser.
The Chrome browser itself allows domain owners to register URLs to be excluded from browser changes that can break their sites. Tablo has registered such a request for the Tablo web app with Google which is what is currently allowing use of the web app to continue via Chrome.
Microsoft Edge, which runs on the base technology of Chrome (called Chromium engine), does not and will not respect the requests of domain owners made for the Chrome browser. For that reason, the app is now blocked on this browser.
However, 5.1 Surround Sound is available on compatible PCs via Tablo’s Windows 10 app:
I’ll ask the question. If Nuvvyo has registered their URL with Google to allow the Chrome browser to continue working on Chrome, can we PLEASE get rid of that message at the top of the screen letting us know that “future versions of Chrome will no longer support the Tablo web app.” Sound like y’all have solved the problem, at least for Chrome, and the web app offers functionality that the Windows 10 desktop app doesn’t support.
