I cannot seem to download anything at all from Peacock. I am trying to get the continental, and a few other items, but all downloads from Peacock fail. If I log on at peacocktv.com, I can watch, but nothing will download. When I look at the Peacock tab in the home screen, it's just a blank black page. Refreshing does not help. when I pause downloads; close then reopen the tab, it appears normal until I start the downloads. Then it just goes black again, and all downloads from Peacock fail. It never gets to the Download part, it just says Analyzing until it fails(Netflix works fine)

How to post issues in the StreamFab section

Sorry, I did forget the .log file. and am downloading in .mp4 format. I followed your link. I believe that I filled out all of the headers that I had access to. If if you need anything else, let me know. The only other information that I think you will find useful is it can take up to five minutes for each file to fail. the time to failure though seems to vary.

Jack, it's there. I think it is buried under the screenshot. Somehow or other I managed to get it.[ATTACH]n435552[/ATTACH]

Supine, you are running multiple instances of StreamFab. If that is not your problem, at the least, it is not helping your problem. Easiest method to fix - reboot your computer. Otherwise, shut down StreamFab as many times as you have to. You may need to use Task Manager or some other process manager to get it all closed. Let us know if that fixes your problem.

Personally, I find that, when downloading from Peacock I have to keep the peacock tab under home as the focus or it will start failing after an episode or two. Damn thing will not stay logged in otherwise.

@jpp72 and @Cats4U , Thank you for the rapid response. I believe the advice you gave me has solved the problem. Rebooting and restarting an app or program is the first thing I try for misbehaving software, before doing anything else. Initially, it didn't work. Two things MAY have contributed to my issue. 1. I was not starting StreamFab from the TSR running in the taskbar. After rebooting, I was restarting StreamFab from a shortcut on the desktop. This may have started a double instance of the program. 2. I had another copy of StreamFab running on another computer on the same network. While I have never had any trouble doing this before, I shut that copy down and started StreamFab from the task bar of my main computer after rebooting (again). Since I did both actions at the same time, I have no idea which (or both) could have ben the culprit. I had to log back into Peacock after the first episode downloaded, but other than that, things are running normally again. Again, Thank you for your help, and I appreciate the rapid reply.Personally, I find that, when downloading from Peacock I have to keep the peacock tab under home as the focus or it will start failing after an episode or two. Damn thing will not stay logged in otherwise.AGuyWithAComputerI found the same thing. Even keeping it as the focus tab, it still logs me out after an indeterminant amount of time. After the (What I personally consider) the NFL extortion scam, the more limited content than the other streaming platforms and the fact that I keep getting auto-logged off, I decided to drop them. I went in to establish an account in the "Free Tier" for my parents so they could watch the NFL game, only to find that it no longer exists. Those that wanted to watch the "Streaming Only" game had to pay if they didn't know someone with an account. The few shows and movies that I watch was overwhelmed by my frustration and outrage. NFL games have usually been carried by one major network, or ESPN for free unless it's blacked out (or conflicts with another game). Watching Advertisers commercials during those games pays for this privilege. I pay for Peacock, and STILL had to put up with the commercials. If something is streaming on Peacock that I want to watch, I believe I'll wait until the whole series airs, Sign up again then cancel after one month. I have until the end of this month to make a decision on those series that will not be completed. I have been a paying Peacock member for the past two years. No more.Note: Thank you for putting up with my off topic rant. While I have been ranting, I was auto-logged out of Peacock twice more during that short period. (after every episode) It's the only streaming platform I have this trouble with, including Netflix, who was notorious for doing that. With Peacock, the "Keep me logged in" check box doesn't mean anything. I guess if that's the worst I have to put up with, I'm still doing very well. A wonderful evening to you all. :D

Update: Not minimizing the StreamFab Window has allowed three episodes to download in succession.

Sigh... I had this issue before, and the topic was closed after I thought the issue was fixed.When I try to download from Peacock, it says Analyzing and just sits there looking at the file until the download fails. I was told that I was running two instances of StreamFab. When I rebooted, then shut down a copy that was running on a computer on the same network, and started StreamFab from the TSR on the taskbar, it seemed to have fixed the issue. I tried that again, with no success. I can download fine from Netflix.

Peacock Downloads failing.

Works fine, no issues

Lucky you. Peacock hasn't worked for me for a long time. Did an uninstall and reinstall tonight and sat on the tab to keep it active and it failed.

I don't see how to get the dark theme you have in my settings. Did it install that way?

Sorry about taking so long getting back to you about your latest log. The only thing that really stands out is that, for whatever reason, Peacock is either not sending down its manifest or you are not accepting it. I'm intrigued by the fact that when the Output directory is on C:, all is well, but when on D:, downloads fail. You might want to use one of the many drive tester programs out there and see if all is well with the D: drive. I finally got around to doing some test downloads myself, and here are the results.

As you can see, I had no problem. I had done 4 Peacock downloads of my own prior to yours.

Well.... I'm downloading from Peacock again. I did nothing, nor changed any settings except setting the skin to the dark theme. (Thank you @jpp72 for the illustrated instructions)
When I logged in, I got an error. I took a screen shot and dismissed it then re-started the downloads that were in my que. To my surprise, the download started almost immediately. Since it's going to my D:\ drive, I should be able to fit everything in the que on it. I will attach screen shots to this post and send another copy of the .log file when the downloads finish (or stop), win or loose. I will know more when I make a little more space on the D:\ drive, and start a second (Far shorter) download que. I'll keep you posted. I have no idea why things suddenly started working again. The only thing I did was change the skin.

Short Update: StreamFab crashed after the first file. Despite this, Downloads continued after restart.

Well... So far so good. StreamFab is working as advertised. I didn't do anything except change the theme. Peacock is still force logging me out from time to time, but that's on their end. Until the current DRM issue catches up to Peacock, I'm good!
