@MJL - I donāt think itās available yetā¦at least Iām also not seeing it on either my FireTV or in Amazonās App store.
Sometimes these updates take a day to get populated on Amazon.
Thanks ChrisFix. This post earlier this morning said it should be available in a couple hours which is why I was asking. But you are probably right. Iām sure it will show up tomorrow.
Iām getting App Version 1.3.1 on my Firestick Gen2 not ver. 1.1.10ā¦ Iām getting a pause buffer when starting a live channelā¦ This is the first I noticedā¦ Version 1.1.8 wasnāt like thisā¦ I guess we canāt have it all perfectā¦ Overall so far though, itās responsive and loads fasterā¦ I will find out more about this new updateā¦
Also, some other issues Iāve seen so far:
1 - Using the back button takes me to the āQuit Tablo Appā dialouge. Selecting OK sends you into a loop of quitting and immediately re-launching the app (you can check out any time you like, but you can never leave!).
2 - The new app changed my Max Record Quality setting without my intervention or permission. Iāve had this happen in much earlier releases of various Tablo apps, but havenāt seen it happen in a long while. Check your recording quality settings after upgrading to this app - it may not be what you had set it for.
3 - My startup screen default was changed from Recordings to Sports. Some version of this occurs with almost every app and firmware updateā¦but thought Iād add it here to see if there is some way to honor the preference in future upgrades.
4 - The darn (being really polite here!) white flash is still there - just much quicker (at least on my Fire Stick 2nd gen). Itās like 1/2 second of pure bright white flash before going dark. Probably some subliminal message being beamed into my brain āBuy more Tablosāā¦
Just a FYI - I can exit out of the app just fine on my Nexus Player - but the Fire TV Box is the one that gives me that loop. Hitting the Home button is the only way to get out of the app.
Iām not seeing any of those issues and I can exit the app by clicking back then selecting OK without it reopening. I do recall seeing this on a previous version of the app, but for me it was fixed with the last update.
I have a 2nd gen fire tv on 5.2.4.2 with Tablo app v1.3.1
Did this skip beta? My test app is still v1. 1.10-rc.11
@KyleR - We did want to get it out ASAP, so no beta.
@Brad_Thomas@ChrisFix Can you try deleting the app, downloading it again and resync with your Tablo? Weāve got the exact same setup and arenāt seeing the funkyness.
Just finished un-installing and re-installing. The quit loop is gone, but:
Version still says 1.3.1 EDIT: Okay, I see that is now the official version number
White screen when starting Tablo app is present for 7 seconds (Fire TV Stick 2nd Gen)ā¦so no change from earlier releases (might even be a little worse?).
