OK Tablo support, it appears to be confirmed that since the latest update recordings can no longer be started, on Fire TV devices, until after they are finished. I have no idea if any of the improvements you sited above are working or not but this one step backwards more than nullifies all of them. For regular shows this might have gone unnoticed by many for some time, but for sports this is completely unacceptable. I want to start a game/event usually about 1 hour in or so that I can skip through most of the commercials but be caught up to live before the end.
Thanks, Wolfpack. I should have also mentioned that I am currently traveling and watching my Tablo remotely. I suppose deleting and reinstalling means I wonât be able to watch again until I get home?
Iâm running 2-TVs Firestick Gen2. I found if you donât disable âFast Live Startupâ then youâll get that few seconds of buffering(moving circle) on Live View. I do get the White screen Startup for 5-10sec only when I exited/disconnected thru the App and not logging back for awhile. But when the App was left running in the background but not idled too long and then logging back in the App, White screen only appears so fast itâs hardly noticeable⊠So far I donât have any problem viewing all my recordings even with Live view concurrently playingâŠ
I did try going back to ver. 1.1.8 by using the Android Cordova Tablo App Apk. Surprisingly it worked and it solved the White Screen startup issue. All I get is the fast moving circle then follows the Tablo logo and thatâs itâŠ
Given the reply from TabloTV this morning, It appears that they have confirmed that since the new update recordings cannot be viewed on Fire TV devices until they are complete & are currently working on a fix.
It would have been nice if they would have responded to my ticket request with specific info that they are aware of the issue & working on it, but alasâŠ
My wife just decided to watch a show that was recording. She hit the play now button to start it but just got the spinning circle. She went back to Live Tv and picked that channel. It played live and she just backed up to the beginning of the show. This was on the Fire Tv. But the Fire Stick does still have the 15 second white screen.
Normally you would be limited on how far back you can go & you would not be able to go any further back than when you tuned into the channel, but I suppose since it is being recorded it might let you back up to when the channel began recording. If that is the case then it is a workable solution, but hopefully Tablo will get this hiccup fixed soon.
Hi folks - A hotfix to return the capacity to play back in-progress recordings is on its way in v. 1.3.2.
Weâve also done a bit of tweaking to see if we can reduce the âwhite screenâ issue even more, especially for Fire TV sticks. Let us know how it goes!
I have been pretty upset the last two days over this issue, but for the most part I am happy with my Tablo. But it can be very frustrating when updates cause issues that were previously nonexistent.
We hear ya @rccolts. We donât like to introduce any regressions either, but sometimes things sneak in. Weâll be going back to beta testing all app updates so that we have a secondary layer of help to catch anything that might have squeaked in.
