I hope someone can help me understand why I am getting playback error when watching live tv via roku. This seems to happen if I haven't watched TV for several hours. It is almost like it takes the Tablo time to wake up or something. I tried several times yesterday afternoon to watch live tv and I kept getting a Playback error message. I waited for about 15 minutes and tried it again and had no issues.
I have had this happen 1 or 2 times. Both times for me were after an update and what I had to do was hard reset the roku. Its not a Tablo thing… its a roku wonkyness thing.
I haven’t had that problem, but is it just with live TV? If you use your Roku to watch a recording, does it do the same thing?
Is it just happening with your Roku? Do you have a PC or tablet to see if happens there as well?
Are recordings working fine?
I am just trying to narrow down the issue. The only time I had a serious problem with “sleep mode” was when I changed the default setting on my hard drive from “never sleep” to “1 hour”. That messed up recordings if the Tablo hadn’t been active an hour before the recordings started. I had to change the setting back to “never sleep”, and it cleared up the problem.
The recordings seem to be working fine. The problem is only with live tv. I haven’t tested my ipad or the computer. I will check my ipad the next time I have an issue with live tv to see if it just roku.
