TabloConnect

TabloConnect is a rails engine that connects to Tablo DVRs and provides listings of recordings as well as video export.

Requirements

• This is a rails engine. So, you'll need to add it an existing or new rails project.
• ffmpeg is required for copying and combining video segments from the tablo to your local machine.

Installation

Add to your Gemfile:

gem 'tablo_connect'

Add an initializer file in your rails project (tablo_connect.rb) with the following:

TabloConnect.setup do |config|
  config.tablo_ip = ['192.168.1.9']
  config.tablo_port = '18080'
  config.ffmpeg_path = '/usr/local/bin/ffmpeg'
  config.output_directory = '/path/to/download/directory'
end

Note: the config.tablo_ip accepts an array to allow syncing with multiple Tablo devices.
