Thumbnail Timeline

Anxious to try out my new Tablo this week.


Do any of the playback interfaces include a thumbnail timeline when fast forwarding or reversing (like is common with Netflix, Amazon, and Plex local video playback)?

I was excited when Plex started generating thumbnail timelines for my local media. Does Tablo do this? If not, will it in the future?

The Roku does not.  It does tell you where you are in the program from a time standpoint (like 3 minutes from the start), but there is no video.


The web and tablet interfaces won’t do a thumbnail, but you can see on the screen itself the spot you are at after a skip or rewind.

This is a super popular request that we’re looking into. Stay tuned!

Cool. Thanks.
