I was playing around with tailscale some more this week.
1: i installed this on a 4k firestick in preparation for traveling. Ive noticed that when using the firestick and tailscale i had to do more transcoding than my IOS devices. I wound up having a client setting for “at home” around 4mb.
I think the processor in the firestick ARM chip just cant keep up with the additional tailscale encryption like an iphone or apple tv can, so when using tailscale on the firestick it needs more overhead. Can someone confirm this?
2: i just started using the debug—>tailscale feature the past two days.
Sometimes it works fantastic.
However , ive noticed on the sign in menu away from home, its forgetting the server address. Today, i had to go outside of the channels app on my ipad and use the dedicated tailscale app and connect that way.
3: There is also a race condition when you are prompted to enter the dvr tailscale ip, but in the background channels begins to load anyway, and you have to cancel the prompt.
I cant submit diagnostics right while its happening because im stuck inside the enter ip popup. Next time this occurs , ill hit cancel in the pop up and send diagnotics.
4: i noticed that with the built in debug enabled, i am able to connect by selecting “away from home” when away from home. Previously we had to connect using “at home”. Which can we use when using tailscale? I want to optimize my transcoding settings for my clients
