Yes, the TMP subfolder hangs around because it’s used for every file that’s ripped. But it should remain empty unless a rip is in progress. Once a file is complete, it’s moved to your destination folder.
TabloRipper uses a default Windows system account for the background service. You can change it if you’d like to bypass mapping issues.
Hello, CycleJ- how can I resize the Tablo Ripper application window? It only takes up part of my screen- but it would be nice to widen it, or even go full-screen, when needed- for example to see longer file names for recordings, as I cannot widen the two columns in either window (files on the Table, files to be ripped from the Tablo). There is a ‘Settings.xml’ file in the ProgramData/TabloRipper folder, and I can edit the height and width in this file- but when I open Tablo Ripper, it just uses the previous Height and Width, and rewrites this file with, what I am guessing, is its current settings.
Thanks in advance,

Being able to read entire show and file names would have made a great difference. Basic resizing would be a huge benefit for folks squinting and tilting their head to get different focus from their glasses
I doubt that you are still monitoring this, but just in case I have a problem. Tablo Ripper is no longer ripping my recordings. First it was reporting everything as having been recorded. I deleted the program along with all additional folders I could find. I then reinstalled it and it no longer reports everything as having been recorded. However, when it processes the recordings there is not resultant file.
Yep, I still get an email when someone posts to this topic. Sorry you’re having issues, but am I correct in assuming it “was working” and now it’s not? If so, what changed?
Step #1 is (as always) to enable logging, try a rip, and look at the log file. The answer is in there. Let me know if it’s not obvious and I’ll be happy to take a look at your log.
Is there any way or will there be a way to use the Ripper with a Dual HDMI Tablo? I know it was not designed for remote access , but yet it can because Roku can access it with the uploaded Tablo app.
I’m not sure what the new Dual HDMI has to do with remote access, but I can answer your question about remote access not working with Tablo Ripper. Tablo Ripper requests a connection to your Tablo that’s refused unless both devices are on the same LAN.
I’m sure some enterprising individuals have tried implementing a VPN for remote access. Perhaps that’s what you should pursue? It wasn’t a problem for me since my use case was exporting shows to Plex (which you can watch anywhere on any device).
The Dual HDMI Tablo doesn’t seem to allow remote access. You can’t use the web app and they do state it was not made to be a remote device. Yet it must have some way of being accessed remotely. My Roku has access to it using the Tablo app. All this is being said I’m talking only about my local home network.
My old Tablo Dual Lite had no issues and I could access from remote places and of course my home network. The Dual HDMI is not the same animal.
But are you just talking about a playback device on the same local network (i.e. a Roku on another TV besides the one the Dual HDMI Tablo is physically connected to)?
If the Dual HDMI is on the same local network as the PC running Tablo Ripper, there isn’t any reason it shouldn’t be able to connect to it is there @CycleJ?
Yep just a in home network access doesn’t work with it. So my ripper can’t access or see it. Not sure why. Even the Tablo Web app doesn’t work in my house on my PC I can not gain access and they say the Web app won’t work with it.
Yeah I did try that , it timed out on me. I’m thinking I have missed something here. My Dual Lite Tablo had no issues with the Ripper. With the Dual HDMI there may have a way , but I have not figured it out yet if it does.
OK it works now. I have no idea why , but I went back and tried 2 times to input the IP only to watch it fail. I rebooted my PC ( for other issues ) and went back to try again. Third time was the charm. It works just fine and the Ripper is back on line. Why it didn’t work the first few tries I have no idea. It does however work now. It can’t search and find it , but IP input does work. Being stubborn does pay off sometimes. Thank you all for the replies and help.
