Quick Start

The first time you start Tablo Tools, it will automatically detect the first Tablo it finds on your network and builds a copy of the recording data. It should go something like this:

Deleting

Now let's head over to Browse and Search. We'll select all 60 Minutes episodes and delete them.

Exporting

Next, let's reset our Search and then search for the term this (totally arbirtrary, it just worked). We'll select them and export them all.
you may note that a ~30 minute episode takes ~5.5 minutes to export. That's over wi-fi on a decent computer while the Tablo was doing nothing. YMMV.

Configuration Data

Should you ever need to wipe reset the app, the configuration data is located in the following locations by OS:
  • Win C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\tablo-tools
  • Mac ~/Library/Application Support/tablo-tools
  • Linux ~/.config/tablo-tools
This will wipe out anything customized in Settings and cause the recordings to be rebuilt on next open.

White Screen of Death

So long as you haven't disabled it, any error you receive will have been reported to us already.

Sometimes you'll run into a problem that causes the app to crash with no warning or explanation - simply a full screen of white. Ouch.

First, please make sure you are running the current version: v0.3.14

Right, you already are.
Again, so long as you haven't disabled it, any error you receive will have been reported to us already.
If you have disabled it or just want to, please follow these steps to gather information so the issue can be tracked down and fixed.
  1. Open the app
  2. In the top menu, click View -> Toggle Developer Tools (a pane will open to right)
  3. Do whatever caused the problem until it happens again. keep track of the steps (video below), record it, etc
  4. Click console at the top of the new pane
  5. Right click in that new pane and Save As...
  6. Upload that file with your report on the issue.
    If you are unable to upload the file, you can also post the contents to Pastebin and send along that link.
Thanks!
Here's a quick video of how (don't worry the app was purposefully broken for this)

Problems, Questions, Feedback?

Know that so long as you haven't disabled it, most errors you receive will have been reported to us, so we're probably aware. Please don't let that stop you from reporting problems, though, as that can help a lot!
