Hello,I want to DL something from "MAX" and I got an error saying I have to update my browser.That is impossible.I also have chrome and Firefox, but the Streamfab app seems to open in Chrome.Is there a work around?

Yes, I am in the USA. Currently running version 6129.I can sign in on Chrome on the computer, and firefox. but not on the Streamfab app.

We test in Windows 7, no issue here. Maybe you clean the caches and temp files and then run the software to try it again?

If Update button, try using the offline installer over top of your current install -> https://www.dvdfab.cn/mlink/download.php?g=StreamFab_x64

Same error.This has never been an issue until now.nightwingkenSigning in with Google will never work until they upgrade the browser. Google is very strict as to what browser can be used to authenticate a Google account.When you first sign-in via a provider, you basically create an account on HBO Max/Max. The next times, you can just login without the provider.This is probably what happened when it was HBO max and now that it is Max, you my need to do the same thing. Sign-in with Google/Youtube from Chrome to create the initial account and then use the email address in StreamFab instead of trying with Google/Youtube.If that doesn't work, try the Max forgot password link and use the email address.Last resort is to login to Max in Chrome, close Chrome and then open StreamFab in administrator mode.

@nightwingken @jpp72 I just realized something... SF uses Chromium browser underneath, right?from -> https://chromium.woolyss.com/#windows[quote]Since version 110, Chromium is not available on Windows 7, 8, 8.1, Server 2012 and Server 2012 R2 (Archive: 1)For help, version 109 works fine. The last stable version for them is 109.0.5414.120[/quote]could that be why the error is happening? Is that going to be an issue going forward?

SF uses CEF (actually a QT5 binding of CEF called QCEF) as it's browser. CEF is Chromium Embedded Framework. It is a form of Chromium that can be used inside third-party programs. It is a subset of Chromium but it is not Chromium per se.Like most programs that try to figure out what browser you are using https://www.whatismybrowser.com/ probably uses the User-Agent method as it's base. User-Agent always returns Windows 10 for either Windows 10 or 11 for a Windows browser. There is a newer method called User-Agent-Hints which https://www.whatismybrowser.com/ must also use. This only works with a few select browsers (not CEF/QCEF) and is able to differentiate between Windows 10 and 11.https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-edge/web-platform/how-to-detect-win11I'm not running 6.1.3.0 and so all I can see is that 6.1.2.9 is listed as Chrome equivalent version 102. Checking the main CEF Github site it appears that the latest release is for version 116 but QCEF is a bit hard to track down. It appears that there is only one Chinese(?) individual that is working on QCEF. It appears that that is also version 116. More than likely SF is using a User-Agent Switcher. I've seen all different browsers listed in the past as well as OSes for StreamFab's User-Agent.

Cant sign into MAX with windows 7

Interesting... May be why it is also saying Windows 10 as the OS.
jpp72

No, as I wrote previously, if using just the User-Agent method of determining a browser, both Windows 10 and 11 will show up as Windows 10. The User-Agent-Hints method must be used to get it right. Most places don't use the Hints method yet.

People still on Win7/8/8.1 are kinda playing with fire IMHO. Especially Win7. If Microsoft no longer supports it, i don't think they have a leg to stand on in being upset about any program dropping support...

I reluctantly agree with both you and Chameleon. The update needs to be done. I only moved from Windows 7 to Windows 10 about a year and a half ago because, to me, Windows 7 felt the most comfortable in my hands. Windows 10 still feels alien to me in a lot of ways. I'll probably skip Windows 11 and if my brain still works and I'm still around I'll probably get it's successor after it has been out for 2-3 years.

I was a big fan of Windows 2000, as well. I almost cried when I was forced to switch to Windows FP (Fisher-Price) aka Windows XP.

Hello,
I tried signing in via my lap top and Stream Fab is working fine except for "MAX".
I was able t0 get into it when it was HBOMax. Has not been able to work since the change over.
I am using version 6.1.3.6. 17/8/23

I can sign in with Firefox, Chrome and all of my devices.
I did the "what is my browser"
Chrome 116 on Windows 10
and
Firefox 116 on Windows 10.

I can sign into Netflix , hulu , paramount , amazon everything but max
which is through my provider youtube tv., It used to work fine with zero problems.

Well i the new version 6.1.3.0 finally updated the browser so it is now version 114.

The odd thing is that if i go to https://www.whatismybrowser.com/ inside StreamFab it says i am using Chrome 114 on Windows 10.

But if i go with Chrome or Edge, it correctly says Windows 11.

So StreamFab may very well be spoofing the OS to the detection tools...

So I would tell @nightwingken to try again with version 6.1.3.0

try clearing your cookies & site data for MAX , restart streamfab and see if you can sign in to MAX.

jpp72

I will also re-iterate, login with Chrome, close Chrome completely, start StreamFab as an administrator by right-clicking the icon and then see if you are logged into Max.

It has worked for me before. I don't want to clear my shit to try again, just in case it no longer works.

@nightwingken and if all else fails do the following:

In StreamFab, use the 3 bar menu in the upper right, select Settings
On the General tab, make note of the TEMP Directory and LOG Directory
Exit StreamFab
Clear out the contents of the TEMO and LOG directories. (IF you are unable to delete everything from the log folder, then StreamFab didn't exit properly and is still running. Reboot your PC, do NOT run StreamFab and try again)
Use the offline installer, right on top of your current installation. https://www.dvdfab.cn/mlink/download.php?g=StreamFab_x64
Try again.
IF it fails, zip the contents of your log folder and post it. And/OR while in StreamFab, use the 3 bar menu and select FEEDBACK. Enter information about your issue and submit.

KidJoe...I can confirm this NOW works....on the last version I had...6.1.3.0 it wouldn't work. On 6.1.3.6 I can follow your directions and it picks up the cookies for youtube and google.
YES...even youtubetv works so this should also allow for google to validate MAX for Nightwingken.

As for why it won't work without the workaround....Google doesn't allow logins through embedded browsers. That's been known for a long time. I still recommend creating an account for MAX outside of youtubetv and then validating it with the youtubetv login in your normal Windows browser. You can only validate ONE extra account this way but it avoids the Google Login for SF.
