It did not find my Tablo 4th gen so I think it is not set up to work with it…so far.
As far as I know, there are no third party apps that work with the gen 4 models.
Sadly, to me, this points to an issue I’d imagined with new(?) installs of TabloTools on newer(?) MacOS versions - ie, some new limitation/requirement new MacOS updates have that old builds of TabloTools don’t meet. (certainly not TT specific, of course).
I’ll post back if I have a solution that may help.
Any plans to support Tablo 4th gen?
Bummer. I look forward to any solutions you may have.
I think you would have to ask @TabloTV or @TabloSupport if they plan to open up the 4th Gen units to third party apps. Currently I’m not aware of anyone working on a 4th Gen third party app.
My personal guess is that there will never be any access. For many reasons. But, again, I don’t mind a “surprise”. I guess there could be “some” access. But nothing that would allow you to get at the recorded data itself. Again, I welcome the idea of “proving me wrong” here.
Edit: I should said “recorded data itself”… in any usable form.
I guess I will just need to screen capture it the old school way in case I need to extract a show. Thank you all.
One point, you cant access a 4th gen from a PC peroid. If theres no entry for a browser or PC based software, 3rd party is irrelevant.
There can be some wiggle here. It does work over a network. Browser support for MPEG2 is just not part of the equation. There’s a reason why the OG Tablo used the “universal” codecs, because it would be usable from practically anywhere.
So, while there’s nothing today, it’s possible that something (though likely pretty closed down) could be provided in the future to allow PC playback and perhaps some very limited API use.
If you’re still within the return period, I suggest you return your 4th Gen. unit and buy a 2nd Gen. unit from us-store.tablotv.com or a used one from eBay.
I’m having some issues(Latest Linux version). I can use the search feature to find and play shows. I can play live TV just fine. Browse for manual recordings also works as expected but when I try to “browse” other categories it doesn’t seem to work.
- “No Shows found.” for series
- “1 movie found” but it never loads. Just a hamster wheel.
- “1 event found” but it never loads. Just a hamster wheel.
Any thought on ho to fix this? I tried to reload already but that didn’t help.
