Tablo Ripper 503 Error server not available

[John_Anderson]

downloaded and installed Tablo Ripper. It finds my Tablo fine, loads a list of programs. I select on program, hit start and immediately get the exception error 503.
Tried it from a 2nd computer, same thing. Moved the Tablo from wired to wireless … same thing.
I have uninstalled and reinstalled on both computers several times. No change.
Suggestions?

Rather than creating a new topic, you would probably have better luck if you made your request under Tablo Ripper - Automatically download new recordings. @CycleJ usually responds fairly quickly if you post under his original topic.

or second is to search “ripper 503” and find –

503 Server Excpetion Error

I’m trying to use the TABLO RIPPER app and it seems straight forward for what I want to achieve - ripping TABLO content into MP4s on my PC (on the same LAN as the TABLO ) for future storage, etc. However, each time I select a few files from my list, shift them to the right column, hit ‘START’ I get the error message “Exception: the remote server returned an error: (503) Server Unavailable”. I am trying to simply rip things locally, and eventually move them to my NAS. I am not dealing with any…

and see what they’ve already had to say about it at one time…

It’s fixed, please download the latest version and give it another try.

Thanks for the kind words. I’ve stopped development on this project but will continue supporting it for the foreseeable future.

It’s cause @CycleJ is a stand up guy. On behalf of Tablo fans, thanks for the fix!

Hello, I just downloaded the most recent version of Tablo Ripper to my computer and am trying to rip recordings off but am encountering the 503 Server Unavailable error currently 7/22/2021. I’ve tried this on another computer and encountered it as well. Any suggestions? Thank you very much.

[djk44883]

Post specifically what the log details for greater assistance. “most recent version” may seem obvious, yet not exactly version number, for clarification. (has been an issue)

[TCH95148]

I would like to post the log file, but when I click on the hyperlink for it…nothing happens…
I downloaded the 2.4.3 64-bit version.

Thank you,

Tom

I’m not intricately familiar with Tablo RIpper, I do know this specific topic has been addressed - the developer and other knowing users pass by (yea, they’ll ask what errors are in your logs )

Here’s one response, which you may have seen:

503 Server Excpetion Error

A http response code of 503 means there’s a problem on the server. In this case, the server is your Tablo, but before you tell me your Tablo is working fine (of course it is), you need to look at why your PC can’t “see” your Tablo on your local LAN. That’s what is really going on. TabloRipper has two way of connecting to your Tablo. One is to ask Nuvyyo for a list of Tablos you own, the other is “local” and uses your local/internal Tablo IP address. So the general solution for your problem is …

Here’s a much more advanced and complex issue, not common:

Tablo Ripper 2.4.1 Stopped working after 2.2.26 update [SOLVED] IP Address problem

The official reply from Tablo follows, and the IANA/ICANN standard for the internet. (which I do not follow on my private network): It looks like because your Tablo and client(s) are on atypical subnets, it’s causing an authentication issue for LAN communications. We have made some security improvements in the 2.2.26 firmware, which is why this is only apparent now. The Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) reserves the following IP address blocks for use as private IP addresses: 10.0.0.…

Can’t find a downloadable version of Tablo ripper. Is it still available?

[CycleJ]

Have you looked here?

[RickL]

Yes, got it working. Thank you for creating Tablo Ripper. It’s awesome!
