Trouble installing TabloTV Extra

[mvallevand]

That it is positive for sure.  This test tries to get the full guide for 50 channels.  The reason I pick 50 is know  I can only get 50 channel listings at a time.

I just tried running the new files and it's throwing an error at the first Sending message http://api.slipstream.nuvyyo.com/

Yesterday I switched internet services from Comcast to Ziply. Do you think this has anything to do with it?

[mvallevand]

No but maybe the IP address of your Tablo device changed. This program doesn't re-evaluate it like the extra does, so you might need to change TabloTV.ini if you can't change your router to assign a static IP.

The ip address is still the same.

Actually the tablotv.ini file is empty.

I have to run, so it may be several hours before I can return here.

[mvallevand]

Do you get an guide on the device itself? Maybe getting a new internet IP requires a reboot?

Edit: the ini definitely needs to exist.

Yes, there is a guide on the Tablo device. I ran a manual guide update and it did run.

I have been having problems with the TabloTV Extra app. The first time I tune into a live TV channel it works. Sometimes it will work if I change channels, but after watching two channels, if I try another channel or go back to the first channel it just shows an error. It has two tuners. I don't think it properly stops an active, but unwatched tuner when you request a channel change.

[mvallevand]

Are you sure there is no ini file in scripts/tablotv?

Without the zipped nextpvr logs I can't really help with that tuning problem but it might not work with the HDMI model.

There is a tablotv.ini file but it was blank. I ran the tablotv install ip ipaddress again and it added the SID number and ip address. I changed this file to read only. Websockets ran and created the xmltv.xml file and I was able to load it into NextPVR. The first 12 channels were populated with guide data after auto merging and mapping.

I'm still having problems tuning into channels consistently. Works the first time, maybe the second time, but subsequent attempts to change channels ends with a transcoder failure, I'm assuming because no video file is created.
