StreamFab and Scheduling

KidJoe

Hi,

The new released videos will be added to task queue and then start to download automatically (the download order sort is based your downloading list).

And StreamFab will be also start up automatically if you set the scheduled task but StreamFab client is not running.

Please post the log file and video link if you have any problem.

BTW, Netflix website upgraded something today, so the tasks of Netflix will be failed to check the new videos

Hi Wilson, So I have Last Week Tonight via HBOMax added to my scheduler. Since new episodes air Sunday nights, StreamFab is set to check for them at 1am Mondays. Again this week, the new version was added to the download queue, but the download did not start automatically. This time, no other downloads were running.

I have SreamFab set to download all to a F:\TV1, and NOT make a unique folder for each service, so I expected the downlead to be F:\TV1\Last Week Tonight with John Oliver\S09\Last Week Tonight with John Oliver_S09E08_May 2, 2021_ Vaccine Misinformation.mp4 which is what happens when I manually down load. UNFORTUNATELY when the download completed, it was f:\TV1\May 2, 2021_ Vaccine Misinformation.mp4

I will upload my logs in just a little bit.

If possible I'd like to be able to set my own time for the scheduling such as 8:08pm or whatever.

Have you tried using the keyboard instead of just the mouse?

I can't post my logs, they are too big, even zipped.

BUT I just noticed something.. May 2, 2021_ Vaccine Misinformation.mp4 is NOT Season 9, its Season 8. And its not the latest episode. So it should have put S09E08 April 17, 2022 Police Interrogations in the download queue.

I thought I did but maybe not. I'm on hold now with the scheduling until all these initial problems are worked out and is working for everyone. I'll try again then. Thanks!

Looks like 5.0.3.0 just dropped with some improvements. I'd love to hear people's experiences.

I was seeing (hearing) some strange behavior before: For my test "Moon Knight" schedule, when I manually check I hear the episode audio in the speakers as the checker hangs. I had skipped / cancelled the previous found and not automatically downloaded episode because I only have one more download left on my quota and I'm largely using it to test.

Now today with 5.0.3.0 I deleted and attempted to re-add the schedule and it crashes. Seems like there are still some robustness changes needed to get it to hum along more smoothly.

I think the url used by StreamFab goes to "continue watching" rather than the series hub that allows you to see the episodes in the series and choose. That's probably Disney+ specific though. It means that manual intervention is needed to get the schedule back in sync with what the automation is trying to do.

So it should have put S09E08

I have noticed this odd behavior myself in .29. Haven’t seen it in .30 yet though

sadly , STILL no auto download of queue

5.0.3.2 released. How are folks faring? Ready for prime time yet?

I'm able to crash StreamFab by going to a show, unchecking all the immediate downloads, and attempting to set up a schedule (that is, just download new episodes on a schedule). I tried for both Disney+ and Netflix and both crashes the program.

Hopefully that'll be addressed soon. Are folks hitting the same thing, or is it just me?

Could you please send the log files to us to help check the crash problem? Thank you.

ParadoxGBB

I've sent the log file reports when it crashes.

Very easy to reproduce:

1) Go to a VIP Service, trigger a download by going to a series. I tried Star Trek: Strange New Worlds on Paramount today.
2) In the download screen, deselect all episodes to download. Select "Download episodes automatically" and set a time.
3) Crash, send report.

The goal here is for a running series is to just set up the schedule, not download the past episodes right now.

If I attempt to re-download anything when setting up the schedule, no crash.

Hope this helps,

I can confirm that the latest 5.0.3.5 seems to address the crash. Thanks, @Mona !

As late as today, I am still having similar issues with the Scheduler downloading titles that I have added. Most get the "Failure to download new episode(s), please download manually" These schedules go across several services, but looks like Paramount, Hulu and Peacock are the only ones running reliably. Disney has been particularly difficult in the past.

bro dont push 2 years old threads...

jlharpr59

it is either push a similar post from 2 years ago (from a search) or get dinged because I did not search for the issue...
