Tabloe TV Exta v4 edition

[mvallevand]

I got an email today that the older generations of TabloTV won't be supported after Sept and that motivated me to to look into what could be done with a Gen 4 box.  Turns out that with the help of Claude I was able to update my extra to support it. 

Basically the extra install uses server authorization to scan and load the channel list from their server.  After that tuning is all local as long as you don't change authentication.
 
Annoying for me all configuration is via mobile, but that is really just for scanning (of course you can watch mobile with their app).   It defaults to H264 with AC-3 but  AAC is possible in setting for playing in NextPVR web.

They seem to go on sale a lot so I wouldn't pay full price.  Without rambling on further if anyone want to beta test this let me know.

Any idea what "won't be supported" means? If just no guide and the other things associated with using it via their app, don't really care. If somehow they will disable the tuners from being accessed as you are doing, I'd be actively looking for a way to block their access from doing that.

Thanks for bringing this to our attention.

OK, see the announcement. Does/will this impact your extra?

They say they won't intentionally break it but at the same time right now I can no longer easily access the web config for G3 because of CORS error so hard to say.

For Gen2/3 installs I do use this URL https://api.tablotv.com/assocserver/getipinfo/ so if that goes, installation will be based on the scan option the extra has.
