I’m gonna miss my Tablo when I move.Bugs and all.
@TabloTV please fix the bug in Apple TV app where it won’t start playing at the beginning of program WHILE it’s recording.
You are late to the party.
Still having this issue. Apple tv app is up to date.
I have heard nothing about the app being updated from the one with issues. The issues were a result of the most recent update. Patience…
It has been 27d since the announcement that a fix was on the way, any update on when we might see it? Nearing football season here in the US and pausing a 3hr+ game in mid-recording then having it re-start at the beginning is going to be a real PIA.

AppleTV app just jumps to the beginning of where it started buffering when you pause and restart a program. Also, trying to fast forward to where you were instead of where it jumped you back keeps getting to a point in the show and then skipping back to the beginning.
Can you please share how close you folks are to getting to solving this issue for all in this community?

I reported the problem and received this reply on September 7th:
We are aware of this occurring for Apple TV users, this began with the latest Apple TV update. Our teams are currently investigating these issues. We do apologize for any inconvenience this may cause you. We are looking into potential solutions, however, we do not have an ETA for this at the moment.
The Tablo in my house has one job: football. That does not mean recording and and skipping to the end and ruining the game. That does not mean starting over completed recordings. For this I pay $50 a year. I will not being paying that again because “it’s Apple’s fault” does not instill me with confidence about future releases of the Tablo app.
Now I’m going to put a piece of cardboard in front of the lower half of my TV so I can scrub back to the start of the Ohio game without seeing the score. And that’s a better fix than what Tablo devs have come up with so far.
When you use a proprietary device that is design for a closed ecosystem there could be side affects.
Of course my 2013 roku 3 still works fine with tablo. And so does my 7 year old fire tv stick.
And I don’t think you will be missing much in the ohio vs penn game. And I grew up in ohio and went to college in ohio. Of course if it was an ohio state game that would be different.
Clearly, it’s not a closed system if there are third party apps. The Tablo app works fine with the iPad and iPhone too. I’ll probably AirPlay the Browns game tomorrow to the Apple TV from another device.
However, the point remains that is has been a known issue for over two months. It would seem that the least Tablo reps could do is provide regular updates on the issue. The last one in this forum is from August 4th.
I have used the Apple TV app for years problem free. Tablo comes in flawlessly on my Mac(mind you I have to use Safari.). You could argue that Roku and Firesticks are proprietary too. To Jades point, they acknowledged the problem ages ago and at first they could not replicate it. It IS taking a long time to come up with a fix. In two weeks it will be moot for me. Moving to an area with one over the air signal and selling it now. Actually it is up for grabs now but so far no bites.
Every product apple has is designed first for the apple ecosystem. I don’t think there is a roku ecosystem. And maybe that’s why it’s sometimes hard to get an apple watch to function properly on an android cell phone.
And when there is a problem with a non-apple device, apple may not give any debugging and fixes the highest priority. Of course that might be why I keep both Roku and fire tv stick available. It was a conscious decision to have a backup device.
Are Roku and Firestick not both linux based but with different versions? Anyhow, proprietary or not, the Apple TV has worked seamlessly with its different versions until this one.
I’ve never heard anyone ever suggest that the roku os is linux based.
Or as roku states:
The Roku OS is the operating system developed specifically for streaming TV
And I’ve been waiting since the release of roku os version 11 for the fast forward problem to be solved. Of course the tablo app isn’t the only app seeing this problem. And that is why I have a different backup device
This is all nice, but irrelevant to the issue at hand. They have identified the problem and have a fix, the issue now is how long it’s going to take to implement the fix. It’s been over a month since the announcement of a fix.
I don’t know if Apple still works as it did under Jobs, but back then they sent the new release to developers ahead of the release so that we could test our products and assure compatibility. Either that is not happening anymore (they’ve made a lot of changes since his passing) or Tablo didn’t do extensive testing when they received the pre-release software.

I hate t ask, but has this been tested with Apple’s new TVOS (16.0)?
