Thumbnails on recorded shows

Since the upgrade to Roku 2.3 on a Roku 4200, it seems that I have noticed as I FF through commercials a few blank frames. And I also seem to have noticed that if I switch from 1x to 2x or 3x FF, the switch is kind of jerky. It stays on 1x and all of a sudden zooms a few frames to 2x.

I’m still on Roku OS 7.7. When I see the blank frame again, I’ll try to unzombie my brain to backscan and see there is a blank screen in that area.

That is standard behavior: https://www.tablotv.com/tablo-how-tos/#ffwd

Ridiculous.

I’ve been using both a Roku 4200 and 4210 with tablo for over 3 years. Well before thumbnails. This is the first time I’ve notice the frequency of single blank frames during FF…

I think @TabloTV was referring to the delay in thumbnail generation, which is standard.

As far as the blank frames during FF/RWD: we’ve investigating this. We’ve found things in the new Roku player that are suspect, so we intend to keep digging, given time.
