About This Release
Stereo Audio (AAC) Support for Users Affected by the Roku OS 14 Update
Support for delivering stereo audio (AAC) was specifically added for Roku users experiencing issues with playback caused by the Roku OS 14 update.
Once your Tablo has been updated to the 2.2.54 firmware, and your Tablo app for Roku has been updated to version 0.8.900 you can see and enable a new setting called Audio Compatibility Mode. This will allow affected Roku devices to play live TV and new recordings from Tablo again.
To learn more about this setting and how it works, check out this Knowledge Base article:
Nightly Streaming Channel Audit
With this firmware update, your Tablo will perform a nightly audit of all available free streaming channels on the Tablo platform. Instead of requiring a fresh channel scan, new streaming channels will be added and departing channels will be removed automatically from your channel lineup.
NOTE - This applies only to free streaming channels available on the Tablo platform. Detection and updates to over-the-air channels will still require a channel scan.
If you have trouble connecting to your Tablo after the update, wait 10 minutes, then reboot the Tablo and try again.
