I was able to link my cable provider to download shows not its just stuck on adobe pass.

When it shows like this, the site may be not supported. Which version did you use and get access to it? Please provide a log file too, thanks.

What version were you using that allowed you to get past the adobe pass screen previously? Just wondering because i have the same issue. Thanksi asked on 5/27 if there was a way around the adobe-pass issue but never got a response, so i assumed it couldn't be donehttps://forum.dvdfab.cn/forum/software-support-english/youtube-to-mp3-youtube-video-downloader/410354-is-there-a-way-to-get-around-the-adobe-pass-login-in-requirement

I updated to the latest version and it stopped working.

As october262 says, open the website in the home page. For CNN Go, they give you 8 minutes of preview before you have to log in. That is enough time to download several shows. Might work for other sites, too.

The site i was trying to see if i could download from was "Watch TCM" (try googling that phrase). When you click on a movie, the login page pops up before SF has access to the link. if you try to login (by picking a cable provider), it stops at the adobe-pass page and wont go on to the cable link to actually login, just stop at the adobe-pass page. was hoping somebody had a workaround for it. they have great movies. thanks for you help

see post #2 - https://forum.dvdfab.cn/forum/software-support-english/youtube-to-mp3-youtube-video-downloader/411488-mpd-downloader-not-recognizing-adobe-pass-multi-system-operators-loginstry opening the website in the home page.october262A trick you can try....open your cable website and log in at the home tab.In a new tab, open the site you want to download from like disney now or showtime anytimeYou may still be asked to choose your cable company, but chances are, you'll already be logged.I've opened and logged into my cable site...Let's check Disney...you can see...it's already logged in.Let's try Showtime...and again, you'll see it's already logged in.Logging in through your cable site first seems to satisfy adobe pass without any other work.

Still having issues with this. Still gets stuck on the adobe screen. any solution for this

thanks for the suggestion but even after logging into my cable company under streamfab, when i click on a video for TCM, it still brings up the "select cable company" and then the "adobe pass" screens. doesn't seem like a big deal to allow the adobe-pass screen to work in SF but maybe someday. thanks again

Cant link cable provider

retsrok163

Ok so Back to streamfab Can we have support look at this.

october262

The short answer - No. Telemundo.com refers you to www.nbc.com and when I try to watch the show with Chrome or Edge I get this:

which doesn't make sense because I passed the Adobe test and the Xfinity logo appears on the top of the page. With Firefox I passed the Adobe test and I'm even able to watch the latest episode. When I try to use the Developer Tools I get no "master" or manifest.mpd but there were some files with the word manifest in them but I got bored and didn't look at them.
Obviously if I try to login directly to NBC.com on StreamFab I get caught up in the Adobe test white screen that started this whole discussion.

did you try searching for mp4 ??

october262

No, I didn't. Should I have? Like I said previously, it's been a while since I messed around with the Developer Tools to download a video. And most of the time I wasn't doing it on my own. I was following examples that others were posting on the VideoHelp Forum.

retsrok163

@Mona Any news on this. Would like to get this working.

Nice! It sort of works but I'm getting only 480p and the download rate is a gawd awful 1MB and less. It sort of shows the concept that I should be able to download whatever my Xfinity cable account allows me. I'm testing it out with Animal Kingdom on TNT and I'm getting the latest episode. I'm getting 480p and slow download on that, too. But that's better than what I was getting the other day when I couldn't get it direct from TNT because of the white Adobe screen that started this whole conversation. Amazon Prime only makes Seasons 1-5 free and the latest and final is 6.
Earlier this year I was sort of working with Mona on trying to get Xfinity downloads but the developer never could get it working. I don't remember whether if it was before or after the release of the MPD module. With this proof of concept maybe they can refine it a bit more to get beyond 480p and <1 MB downloads.

You asked about chat. I turned it off after some abuse from someone here that didn't like something I wrote and was too much of a baby to post their disagreement publicly. I prefer to keep it off.

retsrok163

@jimc115 you are getting a 720p download. When you login you get at 1080p download. its a big difference.

retsrok163

Here is from another site. I was able to login but cant download but of the error. Something has changed as this use to work.

I'm not using xfinity, but as you can see both our cable companies use the same software for online. I have no problem grabbing 720p and fast....I'm still using 5.0.4.3 though.
Can you watch in higher the 480p online? I can't see xfinity limiting you to that. I know you lose some channels when you leave your home IP.
I'm not sure what's going on with Adobe.....yesterday, I could go on nbc.com and grab fine...today it wouldn't let me.

SF is also based on Edge 86....I think the version is beyond 104 now, so that could also be part of the Adobe problem.
You can find 1080p Animal Kingdom on hdencode...just google it.

retsrok163

That's a limitation with SF right now. Most online cable sites are capped at 720p. There are still a few using M3U8 that can be tricked into giving up 1080p, but not a lot.
Even watching streaming with their site, many channels are capped at 720p. They always have been. FOX, Disney, ABC, PBS and others broadcast in 720p. NBC does broadcast in 1080p, but SF is still limited to 720p.

Damn expired certificate! Jim, reply later

jimc115

If you're n Chrome...click the lock on the url...site settings...insecure content...allow.
Will work until they fix it.

That's how I was able to write here at all. But I had a weird secondary problem that I can't figure out how it was related to the expired certificate but I think it was. I couldn't write more than about one sentence otherwise I'd get an error when I clicked Post Reply. Hopefully it will be gone when I post this.
Anyway, I'm still in the middle of my nightly sleep. I woke up to use the facilities and just decided to check if the certificate problem was fixed. Thanks, Wilson! I'll get back later with a reply to your message. Good Night!

I wasn't aware that Cox used the same software. One more clue that they are all in collusion. How do I determine what resolution is being sent when playing online? The player doesn't seem to have an Information display, which is what I usually rely on. The answer is probably obvious but my brain isn't working today.

StreamFab actually uses CEF (Chrome Embedded Foundation) version 86, which is a stripped down version of Chromium for use in other programs. I use one other programs that uses it but it uses the latest version CEF 104. In any event, SF changes the User-Agent to Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Ubuntu; Linux x86_64; rv:95.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/95.0 which makes it look like to the streaming server that we are using Firefox 95 on a Ubuntu Linux computer. According to what I read, it is the 87th most common User-Agent so if a site wanted to block such a combination they wouldn't upset too many other visitors. I have yet to see a streaming video site where they specifically mention the use of Linux as a Supported OS. So we are behind the eight ball before we even start. That's why I'm advocating a User-Agent Switcher built into SF. You could set it to match your default device and the server would be none the wiser. Or at least I think that's how it should work.

Yup...most browsers now are built on chrome. Switching to an Android user agent would do the trick...but google is catching on to that also and using other method to detect the actual
user agent. I was able to load one on chrome and successfully stream Disney at 1080p, It works for one session and the IP address gets blocked. Switch the VPN to another address and it works again...so it's not sustainable.
As far as resolution...there's another program called tubedigger that will list resolutions that are being spit out. whether they are downloadable or not. (DRM'd)
but as a rule....you can search cable broadcast resolutions and find what most are broadcasting for a channel. Take Disney for example...they only broadcast 720p, so the highest
your cable will broadcast or stream them is going to be the same.

You could also load the app on a firestick and stream it to your tv....you'd be able to see the resolution there also.

Yup...lot of collusion....we even get Peacock Premium for free.

retsrok163

@jimc115 if you go to Telemundo site and choose a video that doesn't require a cable provider login you can download the video @ 1080p. Usually the older videos are free. The latest videos will require a cable subscription. The way you are doing it is not from the website itself. Try it like i just said and you will see a different result.

Yes, it's very interesting stuff. I was reading up on it the other day. It's called User-Agent Hints. https://51degrees.com/resources/blogs/tag/Client%20Hints

As far as resolution...there's another program called tubedigger that will list resolutions that are being spit out. whether they are downloadable or not. (DRM'd)

Ahh, Tubedigger, of course. I should have thought of that. It's my favorite non-DRM streaming downloader that I use. That's another program that uses CEF. Version 75, to be exact. I'll give it a try later to see what resolution is being sent.

Well, the results are in and they don't appear to be good.

Looks like Xfinity has it locked in at 480p. Oh, well.

That's no fun...same show...
