FYI, before you spend on SF for Android:
It cannot be installed on BlueStacks
There are almost no settings
It cannot download the new stuff, just like the desktop version
Asked for a refund...

Hi Jpp72,

This is worthy of posting under it's own topic, so it won't get lost in this thread...

Hey Mike...doesn't matter which application you use...the decryption code is pulled from SF's database....so one is not going to get something the other won't.
Also...the old CDM has NOT been revoked yet. If we're really lucky it won't be, but all joking aside...it will most likely happen in a few days.

Newsgroups are great if you get a good deal for a provider and you also need a good site to provide NZB files for you.

Oops....looks like it might have been revoked last night or early today.

wait, should be I getting Pinocchio - Guillermo del Toro's in 540p from SF? because I just get an error "Failure accessing video information, please check your network connection or contact us for help."

Last time this happened, how long did it take streamfab team to resolve? It was only a few days, wasn't it?

PS: Anyone tried Hulu and see how it's working? - I put it on hold for a week yesterday in order to reset the charge/debit date - it was the only bill of all my bills to charge prior to 15th (except rent) and I like having them all after 15th due to monthly pay date Excel spreadsheet tracking.

Hi Mobe1969,

I guess it'd depend on what you're referencing...

Netflix
Paramount+
Apple+ Current new releases/(How StreamFab has addressed 720p/sub 720p)
HBO Max (How StreamFab addressed 1080p on 2 occasions re: DRM this year)
Etc...

I think per response in the past, we can't really expect anything in the next few days since it's Friday here (US/CST) and I *think* their weekend staffing/support is minimal.

Since there seems to be a pretty wide effect to different providers, Netflix/Paramount+/Apple+ so far for new content, you'd think this should be there number one priority and people would be called in to look at post haste.

And it's not as if they haven't been getting posts/warnings about this event.

We've been getting messages from other streaming services about updating Chrome lately, such as The CW, so I don't know if we'll see some more dominos re: new content in near future for them.

Mike

US - CST, No VPN, Current StreamFab

Looks like vindication for Cats4U. Sometimes the sky IS falling.

Cats4u....I appreciate your heads up to the community about this. I for one would've completely forgot that this was coming up and would've been the screaming at my computer for failure downloads!!! Kudo's for looking out for the community!

I second that. Thanks to this thread, as soon ask got these errors, i knew exactly what the issue was. As I was expecting it.

BTW, it does affect older material too. Eg Utopia series on Prime.

I am downloading Hawaii Five-0 successfully as of this morning on Prime. This is via a Paramount+ subscription on Prime.

I'm downloading just fine on Prime from the newly added HBOMax channel, but technically it's older content.

Just Me

From what I can see, if you had it queued up for DLing, then it came through OK. What was added after it went into effect is what's now downgraded.

I had a large queue that has been running for a few says and didn't have problems till it got to stuff I added in last night. Once my original queue ended, then all the added on stuff was affected.

Now I'm playing "wait and watch" game like everyone else.

I also tip my hat to Cats4U for the heads up along with another friend (you know who you are so I won't mentions names :)) who gave me a heads up on this issue.

artsunlimited

I spoke too soon - now nothing from the new HBOMax channel on Prime will download, but I can get some older Prime content. The failures were in my queue on Dec 7th, and I've just added older content and downloaded it at 1080p, so I dunno if having it in original queue is what's doing it.

I also got this, so oops.:eek:

[/QUOTE] I love helping out although I have no intentions of doing it here anymore. Thanks, Chameleon. - Cats4U[/QUOTE]

(above edited for response, from another thread & probably more appropriate here... - Mike)

Cats4U,

When Chameleon was gonna leave you asked him to re-consider.

You should also do the same in regards to helping and participation.

Especially since you are helping in the spirit of helping and bring a lot to users with your knowledge.

When that is in you, it's hard not to jump in and try to help and also hard to stay away. ;)

The posts from other users that took your warnings as a opportunity (like me), those thanking you afterwards for the heads-up once stuff started going south or just dropping in and finding out what the heck was going on via this thread clearly demonstrates the value you bring and the appreciation by other users.

Rather than focus on the negative of some interactions, I'd focus on the forest.

User contributions via helping other users is one of the best things here and reasons to stay and participate.

This acts as a counter to some of the negative experiences like Apple+ issues, HBO Max 720p, "be patient" for extended periods, seeing new things being worked on when core items scream for attention, overlooked posts that users make that are not responded too, some users not able to view logs, problems with registries, SF not clearing logs/temp cache when it should (uninstall) or including an option to do that, SF wiping out the existing queue in new version update (reported by another user), knowing and having to go grab an offline full version rather that using SF's in program update, typically missing "weekend" support (was nice to see response to this latest problem during "weekend"), SF server side certificate expirations (I believe you pointed that out quickly), inadequate testing of new features that mess up other things, having to document and test in order to get Amazon Prime audio the best it can be, thinking about what probably is a typical user's experience that encounter some of these issues and not coming here for education and their frustrations - I'm sure there are more things that some can think of. :rolleyes:

May your internet be stable and swift!
(Wish I could say that in Klingon...)

Mike
