To disable Tablo Automatic Commercial Skip on a per-recording basis from within the playback screen, toggle the Commercial Skip icon in the bottom right of the screen.
Tablo iOS App Update (v. 1.8.7)
Fix for playback controls on iOS 12
If you have any questions or feedback about this update, don’t hesitate to drop us a line or comment below.
After receiving the new update for my iPad, the bar along the bottom of the screen that includes the volume, pause/resume, forward 30 and back 20, close caption no longer work. I have an older iPad Air that is stuck in IOS 12. and is no longer supported by Apple. If that is the cause, can I revert back to the previous version of the Tablo app? I didn’t really want to go out and purchase a new iPad at the moment.
Hey @Jackt - Yes, this is a bug that we’re working to fix at the moment. Unfortunately there’s no easy way to revert to the previous version but we’re hopeful the wait won’t be long for you to get back up and running.
Indeed… We haven’t really been able to re-create it on a regular basis but we believe it might be related to the app requesting refreshes after deletions.
The current ‘hybrid’ communication approach that we’ve taken with the iOS apps as we work towards moving away from sync can make things like this a bit difficult to track down/resolve.
The good news is that this (and other annoyances) will be eliminated once we can finally kill syncing 100% on mobile apps.
The Tablo app on the iPad Air running iOS 12.4 does not have the “Commercial Skip” status like the iPhone app. See screenshot below from iPhone XS Max. Can this please be added to the iPad app?
Can you please add keyboard support to the iOS app to-do list, specifically left arrow (rewind), right arrow (fast forward), and space bar (pause/play)? Popular streaming apps such as Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, Plex… etc have that support and I found it very convenient to use with iPad keyboard case (more convenient than using the touch control on screen)
When watching recordings with successful commercial skip they work fine on Apple TV.
But with some programs (not all) on my iPad Pro the commercials are marked off with yellow bars but during playback no skip occurs for the same show where they work on Apple TV.
This only happens with some shows that have successful skip ready indication in the app, I cannot determine anything about the show that would cause this condition.
If you have specific recordings that you’re seeing this on, please make sure to keep them on your hard drive. We may want to take a look at the details.
Once I get on the network and sometimes uninstall and reinstall the app I’m okay for another few weeks. Starting to get annoying - and if I was traveling I’d be SOL.
