Tablo 4th generation Smart tv app failures

despite tech reps insisting that it’s our smart tvs app cache that causes the tablo tv 4th gen to crash after shortly installing , it’s the fact that Tablo is a Android based OS , and cannot decode MPEG 2 apps and codecs reliably , therefore the tablo tv app works fine on a Samsung smart phone or my Samsung tablet , but when installed across several different tvs i have , the tablo app fails every time . i was told that the latest firmware upgrade would fix the issue , it did not . i uninstalled the tablo app , reinstalled it , rebooted my router , put app on same network connection , still the same crashes . so, i can only reliably watch tablo shows on my smart phone . if you have a tv that the tablo app will not crash on , let us all know the brand and model so we can spend more to fix this issue !

It works fine on my Sony Bravia TV as well as my ONN 4k pro. Pick up an onn 4K Plus at Walmart and you should be good.

Hi @Jesse_Petton

We’d like to take a deeper look. Would you DM us your email address or ticket number?

I have Onn 4K pro, Google 4K streamer and Google TV with chromecast. Every single one of them constantly crashes on the same recordings on both of my Tablo 4’s. Nothing I do makes it any better (and I have tried everything). My Roku TV can usually play them with some bugs. If I could find a decent alternative to Tablo, I would throw my two units in the trash with a smile on my face.

Please throw them in my garbage can!

My Tablo 4th gen started crashing when my stored episodes increased. If I have over 150 episodes in a program it will crash almost every time I attempt to play one using my onn 4k pro or Sony Bravia.
It does work good with few recordings.

I think you are on to something there. May want to get a Roku streamer (not all models work) as I have had better luck with that. Still not without bugs.

I originally thought I had a similar problem, thought it might’ve had something to do with the indexing of the recordings in the file system.
I was experiencing what i’m calling crashes and disconnects.
My issues were resolved by enabling 5GHz radio on my Wi-Fi router. For the most part, it has been working flawlessly since then. I do receive an occasional playback error, not to be confused with a decode error. Once I receive the playback error, I need to power cycle the Tablo and then all works fine.

Btw, I have a 4th gen, 4 tuner with a 4TB western digital elements.

I have a Sony x90L tv and an LG B2 Oled using Tablo’s app on the tv. I do not have issues with either tv using Tablo. Knock on wood….
