New problem with Amazon

corwin46

I seem to be having a new problem when trying to DL any series from Amazon. Streamfab only lists and allows a single episode to be DLed. Has anyone else been experiencing this issue? I am using version 6.1.7.1

NewMelle

6.1.7.4 fixes this but now audio is AAC 2.0 stereo only.

Thank you.

Looks like the competition is having the same 5.1 to 2.0 audio issue, so it appears to be a change by Amazon.

NewMelle

Not with everything. I've grabbed a number of episodes and a couple of movies and they came down EAC3 5.1.

No they are not, every region except Australia and NZ, and Japan are fixed.

Chameleon, NewMelle what version do you use (without re-enconding) or u use anystream?

My intent was just to show that in this case, this may not have been something SF broke while trying to fix something else, but instead a change on the Amazon side. The fact that the competition experienced the same issue that required a fix is how I based that reasoning. I wasn't trying to infer anything more than that. Many times, it seems we accuse SF of creating as many defects as they resolve. This just may not be one of those cases.

Amazon on StreamFab has many more issues than just audio, they re-encode the video. Half the time what your settings are do not work, it has a banner at the end saying this is the best we could do, no HEVC or good audio, or something else that this program used to achieve and cannot now.

I must be in one of the regions Amazon fixed early on. I have not updated AS yet to 1.8.8.0 and was downloading EAC3 5.1 on most of what I downloaded (not old movies).

I'd have to be a glutton for punishment to use any version of SF for anything other than deleting files when I'm in a bad mood. It is essentially useless for me for anything else. Processing time is far longer than I can tolerate and the AAC 2.0 issue is another issue I just can't abide. There is no reason to put up with that when I have something else that does the job efficiently without fail (AS).

SF 6.1.7.5 Amazon working but no turbo speed.

corwin46

For me the audio is ok as I only DL it as 2.0 anyway. After going to 6.1.7.5 I can now access the entire series. It has to be recoding as the processing alone took almost 2 hours but I am not getting subtitles. I only DL as 720p and 2.0 audio. Choose english subtitles and do not get any. I uninstalled 6.1.7.1 and did a clean install of 6.1.7.5 and still no go.

Turbo speed started at 1 mb/s and rose to 4.5 mb/s so turbo speed is working.

Do you think 4.5mb/s is turbo? LOL, even with a poor ISP you should get 20mb/s.

Honestly, I'm not sure where you are going with this. Yes, SF has a lot of issues with Amazon, Netflix, and other sites that are posted all over this forum that they have failed to resolve. I was just responding about one such newly reported issue within a thread about such issue and saying that in this case we may be looking at more of a new requirement than a long-standing requirement that can't manage to resolve (DRM) or in some cases defects that they created. That's all.

If only. ;) Right now I have ZERO Mb/s as Brightspeed shit the bed again and won't be out until Monday to correct it. I have to spread 2GB of mobile data across 4 days of tethering. On a good day I get max 9.8Mb/s. I'd pee my pants a little if I got 20Mb/s. But if I had to live within 100 yards of another hairless ape I'd happily forego 1Gb. Did you know most hairless apes smell horrible? Like Polo or Patchouli. And the females of the species are so ugly they have to paint their faces.

Just kidding :) but if it came down to fast internet or peace and quiet I'd choose the latter every time. The low bandwidth is why I have AS.

I haven't tried 6.1.7.5 yet and it won't be until next week when I'm back online but I have my doubts. I'd like nothing more be proven wrong though.

And YES, I saved it so the SOBs won't be able to charge me $10 for older broken to fix newer broken.

Today I am getting 26 mb/s.

corwin46

Does anyone have any info on the no subtitles issue?

NewMelle

You might start a new thread as that issue was brought up midstream in this thread and possibly getting overlooked. My guess is you've identified what broke with the latest fixes.

corwin46

No. I'm the OP on this thread. It got lost in all the other posts about other issues. Just trying to bring it back to the original issue.
