Tablo Exporter - Export Tablo Recordings

Thanks very much for writing this exporter! I’ve needed some way to move content from the local drive to my NAS to be viewed with Plex.

How long should it take to export a program? I record at the 5Mbps setting and it took one hour to export a 35 minute program.

ffmpeg 20160325
exporter version 0.06a
exporter memory in use: 26MB
exporter output quality is better
exporter run on laptop connected to wireless
java version “1.8.0_77”
Java™ SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_77-b03)
Java HotSpot™ Client VM (build 25.77-b03, mixed mode)

Do you have it set to standard? If not it will take MUCH longer

712

Looks like it’s set to better.

713

Yea, any other than standard take a long time. Standard basically uses a copy, the rest have to change the encoding which take much longer .
Thanks @AceConrad

So set to standard @linuxguy

Sorry, have had a long day :stuck_out_tongue:

I’d be happy to but not sure how to do it. I ran cmd and entered what you mentioned but got Error:Unable to access jarfile pathtoTE\TabloExporter.jar

715

You have to use the actual path to the jar file I just wrote “pathtoTE” it is probably something like C:\tablo… or something?

716

Oh geez lol

Ok. Here’s what came back. I’m guessing you’ll want this run when something has gone wrong, correct? I did try one and things went smooth. Much longer than normal but probably because it’s not directly to the laptop.

718

I suppose that is possible, but that would be ffmpeg so maybe it has issues writing to network drives.

Not sure if this has been reported but I noticed that when using “Sort By Date Aired” it is not differentiating between AM & PM.

For example my recordings for yesterday are sorted with the following times:

9:30 PM
8:30 PM
5:00 AM <–
3:00 PM
2:00 AM <–

Not a huge deal but it had me puzzled for a minute until I figured it out.

720

Interesting I had not noticed that since I usually do not have recordings like that. I will look into it, thanks! I think because it is text…

721

Thought I’d share my export times. I record at the 1080-8Mbps setting and a 2.5 hour movie from a 480i station finished exporting in 1 hour and a 2.5 hour movie from a 1080i station took 1.25 hours. I export two at a time so I’m not sure if it’s faster or indifferent exporting one a time. Note I’m using a 100 Mbps network speed and PC is connected via Ethernet.

I’m curious if @Jestep can chime in with whether the recording setting affects the export speed as in lower setting means a faster transfer rate.

722

Standard is virtually a copy the rest will take more time as there is more work for ffmpeg to do. Try one at a time, it should be fast since doing to will split time.

java -jar TabloExport.jar -threads 1

Will cause it to do one at a time, default it 2

723

I will try the one at time and see how it goes thanks.

For standard, what recording setting are you considering standard? 1080-8 or 1080-5?

724

It is basically a copy, so whatever you set

725

I’m curious about the transfer rate inTablo Exporter. If the recording setting is 1080-8 will the export process be quicker or the same if the recording setting is 1080-5? My guess is quicker with 1080-5 as the file saved on the Tablo is smaller but with you being the mastermind behind this I figured you could confirm or correct that thought.

Thanks!

726

Well that is more of a ffmpeg question, but my guess is it is going to be close to the same, just a bigger file :wink:

727

I may have confused things…I was meaning amount of transfer time to export, not rate.

728

I would say it would need to be tested, but wondering why you ask?

729

Thanks for all the help by the way. It’s both a storage question and time spent question and wondering if much is gained by moving to the lower quality setting.

And part 2: Is there a solution to removing the commercials from the exported shows?
