Since last year, many official websites supported by Streamfab have been unable to download videos. I have provided feedback to the authorities many times, but in the end, it has not been resolved. Their response to me has been that the issue is still being resolved, but it has not been resolved until now. In this post, Wilson Wang said that streamfab's technical team has not yet come up with a solution for DRM:
I am getting more and more down to see an unchanged flag at the start - we're 3 months from when DRM change occurred. The Techs etc may well be doing something, claims have been made - and turn out to be false Here's a new idea - how about a weekly update - on a Flag at the start - but for goodness sake - UPDATE

There
has been no update, so if you're down at seeing that unchanging flag, there's a good reason - it ain't fixed.
All you need to do is read what
@Cats4U and
@jpp72 have posted on this forum regarding their interactions with Wilson et al to realize that your feedback is going into the proverbial round file. There isn't going to be any "resolution" unless they hire a team who can break this latest CDM - which they aren't going to do, since all their efforts now are focused on pretending screen recording is the same as downloading. See, SF has been significantly behind the curve for the past two plus years, when their focus shifted from maintaining major global streaming sites to cranking out add-on modules for anything that had a subscription list of 25 people or less. While the competition was busily cracking this current CDM some four months before Google revoked the old one in January, they couldn't be bothered because that short-money grab was all that mattered.
They knew it was going to happen and did nothing - that alone should tell you all you need to know.
What all of this comes down to is: you need to accept that "the issue is being resolved" is a big fat lie. All they're working on is fixing bugs in their stopgap screen recorder and trying to look like they're accomplishing something re the DRM to get people to renew their licenses - when they simply don't have anyone who's capable of that task. Not one DRM key has been cracked since January, but yeah, it'll be fixed any week now. No, really. Aaany week now. Uh, next week, for sure.
Your wanting a weekly update from SF just means you want to be lied to in new and different ways every 7 days - and as they aren't very inventive and obviously can't tapdance for sh*t, that'd also be a disappointment. They
should be accountable to their customers - but sadly, that isn't going to happen.
