Using a Legacy Tablo Device on Linux

I beg to differ. There is no official Tablo application for Linux. And I tried Tablo Tools, which doesn’t use a package manager for installation.

There is the web app. As for package manager for installation,

@Alfetta159

It was one of the reasons that I started writing my own if you know what I mean.

I use apt install ./tablo-tools the same as your personal. Yours is installed via apt locally in the same fusion, not from a repository.

I preferred playing with my own scripts via port 18080/pvr.

You can still, kind of, via scripts. I use an out dated Capto for Tablo (CLI Grabber), for example, to get the numbers, then

ffmpeg -loglevel warning -i '$1' -bsf:a aac_adtstoasc -vcodec copy -acodec copy -crf 18 "${2}".mp4

or

smplayer http://192.168.0.100:18080/pvr/$1/pl/playlist.m3u8

Will still work. I haven’t really done much of this anymore, just did a trial to check. Yea, it’s a PITA method.

I do somewhat know what you mean. Prior to tablo I had built my HTPC / DVR. It was very manually interactive. We didn’t always have much option, well any. So I’m not discounting your project. But there are or were options available for Linux systems.
