Some recordings produce them, many do not.
I recorded the local Texans-Chargers game and it produced the thumbnails.
Recorded four episodes from the Popular Science channels and two made the thumbnails and two did not. No "failures" reported. What is going on here?
I'm using the internal Flash as DVR storage.
I've an HD HomeRun with four ATSC 1 tuners, and running it on FireTV stick, no other apps using it. Seems only one tuner is ever active, according to the webpage "tuner status", yes I've refreshed after every change. I'd hoped that it would use all four tuners when switching channels to speed up channel changes, and only turn them off or change when oversubscribed.
Takes 3-4 seconds for the HDHR to change a channel. Our Samsung QN85 takes 2 seconds or a bit less to change the channel using its remote dedicated Up/Dn switch, if I make two or three qiuck presses it'll skip two or three channels in ~2 seconds. If I try this on the HDHR with the FireTV remote it "crashes" to a black screen and I have to back arrow to the Guide or Live menu. If I could get all needed channels at this TV location with an indoor antenna I wouldn't have needed the HDHR.
U-Verse had very fast channel changes (only thing faster was old analog NTSC), and I grew accustomed to cycling through favorites while watching college football games live.
I'm trying the FireTV stick because I'd like one click channel up/down, but if I hold the button down for a fraction of a second without releasing it the side menu pops up.
I've also tried using the Up/Down arrows to pop up the sidebar and not choose adjacent channels but still only tuner0 is being used.
From browsing other threads, comments suggest that if you move the Tablo to another gateway everything needs to be reinstalled, is this true? This would be done by simply moving the Tablo Ethernet cable to the other gateway and I'd hope everything would "just work"
I have two Internet access gateways, the main is an AT&T gigabit fiber connection and I have a T-Mobile cellular Internet gateway as a backup for the push notifications from our security system (no line to cut to take it out and a UPS keeps it all going if the power goes out until the "whole house" backup generator kicks in). I also have a tri-band mesh network so we get whole property WiFi coverage that routes through the gigabit fiber.
I can move a WiFi connected ROKU TV out by the pool and move the ROKU network connection from the AT&T gateway or the T-Mobile gateway to the mesh network out by the pool where the other gateways don't have good signals. I did this for our 2024 Superbowl party when the game was live on Tubi. and it worked great. I also did this for a couple of seasons when U-Verse dropped NFL Network & Redzone so I used Sling for those seasons. Nothing else needed to be changed on the ROKU device.
I normally keep all WIFi streaming on the AT&T gateway to reduce the load on the tri-band mesh keeping things on separate 5 GHz channels. The 2.4 GHz WiFi channels are only enabled on the mesh network for use by IOT class devices, mostly ESP32 based 2.4 GHz only devices.
Is there a way to disable the thumbnail feature and get the old school "Benny Hill" fast speed playback/rewind of recordings? Dubious "feature" IMHO, seeing how it is a post processing activity.
