This company is unreal. They released yet another version of StreamFab only to advertise about another new module WOWOW instead of trying to fix Netflix. So sad. They obviously don't care. I don't even know what to say or think anymore. Everyone should just forget about this company and go to the competition (AnyStream) as they are actually trying to work on fixing their software and are making it better.

OK, no porn module? Too bad. They're tinkering with the website. The change log is no longer so prominent...They're selling the software weekly now :-)

When I asked them how long it will take and if it will take another four months, they said they don't know, haha!:rolleyes:

I'm on the same page with all of you. I have to say I'm quite disappointed. I've gone out of the way and defended this software against competitors and recruited others over the past few years. This software served me very well while it worked. It was my main go-to over all of the others, mainly anystream. Using anystream wasn't too often, but only in the rare case I had an issue with streamfab. It's like a big slap in the face to all of us. From the way they keep ignoring all the main modules that are still broke, to the complete disrespect and dismissal of Cats4U & jpp72. I too, am still flooded with almost daily spam to purchase DVDFab products to "download" from streaming sites. Each one I get makes me angrier as time passes, knowing they haven't been addressing important fixes but yet advertise a working product. I'm about to jump ship, but a little part of me is still holding on hoping for something soon. It's either shame on them or shame on me... we'll see over the coming weeks. Hopefully they come through for us.I know I'm not the only one here who has invested time in helping this company in one way or another. As a matter of fact, quite a few of you too, have gone above and beyond. I see you. I've seen you over the past few years. Just know that I appreciate all of you that have put in time helping these guys out only to seemingly now be slapped in the face.

I also have been pro StreamFab since the DRM change, told myself that the interim solution with screen recording is good, left my posts regarding this in the forum. But all the updates since, the introduction of new modules as well as not giving any hint about progress made in regard to DRM made me evaluate the the competitor's solution. Sure, SF is far more comfortable to use (provided it woud work) and I really do miss things like the free choice of the video bitrate to download, but I CAN stream record! even if it is "only" in the maximum possible quality. And YES, I got everything downloaded (not screen recorded) I wanted to download, and it worked 100% (can only speak for Amazon channels). I got my bitcoin wallet, which was very easy, and I got it stocked up, ready to buy my 2 year license from your competitor.

With this latest release with zero fixes for the major streamers and the added insult of yet another module I uninstalled ALL the versions of SF I had in stalled. It took me over an HOUR to remove all the little turds SF crapped all over the registry. I won't waste another minute on this garbage until the release notes indicate all DRM issues have been resolved. Pretty sure that is not going to happen so I damn sure won't be holding my breath. Just another Chibson on eBay.

Just another Chibson on eBay.NewMelleI just asked streamfab's customer service and he said, "I'm very sorry, only in version 6179 did we fix wowow (original MPD), and other websites are still being processed.". But in the update history of 6179, it is written as: New: Introduced the WOWOW Downloader module to download WOWOW videos as 720p with AAC 2.0 audio. Interestingly, a newly developed downloader is officially said to have just been fixed!:rolleyes:

I also gave up on StreamFab and went and purchased AnyStream+, it works great for all my primary download sites. The only thing I come back periodically (rarely) and use StreamFab for is something only available freely on Pluto! or Roku. I even stopped using DVDFab in favor of MakeMKV. I'm just not interested in supporting this company anymore.

It's broken, and owners are more concerned about fast money-grab somewhere else than fixing the issues on the already existing Modules.

This Company and their software

A little bird told me that you are going to start a post with problems of 6181. Is that true? ;)
Sebastian001

That little bird is abso-fucking-lutely right... hehehe

But right now, i have a huge presentation in 2 hours and i am tweaking the powerpoint so i shall start that thread only tomorrow

NewMelle

How many people are trying to download the installer??? Its taking forever says 31 min left (I have 1.2gbps comcast cable).
KidJoe

LMAO!!! Yeah, it even took a while at my petty 9.8Mb/s. We might crash the server.

Episodes are coming down EAC3 and no post processing to speak of and as fast as they used to.

I never messed with the naming templates so they are dumped in SHOWNAME/SXX/EPISODE. I'm almost afraid to mess with it now. :eek:

I was able to crash it pausing and re-starting a download. I have to do that sometimes as my Wife works from a home office and occasionally has meetings that require all the bandwidth so I pause until she is done.

KidJoe

Although the SF UI is a little more feature rich and options such as bitrate choices are nice to have in order for it to be more than just cosmetics and placebos it has to actually work. I don't care how pretty she is, if she smells bad I'll pass. LOL

I'll gladly give up the ever-so-useful Turbo-Speed button for a fully functional package. Um, do you want slow or fast? Doh. :rolleyes: And does it really work? Come to think of it I don't think I've ever actually tested it. :D
NewMelle

Turbo-Speed button was a hold over from the early days. I hasn't done anything since they started proper downloading. I don't know why they never took the UI Element away.

Sebastian001

...I'm happy too, but I'm just thinking about the next DRM change. Another six months and we'll have Christmas....

smithbrad

Except for the fucking Output template again. It thinks TV Shows are Movies... sigh...

They did the same thing 3 releases ago, i called them incompetent, they fixed it in the next release, and now it's back.

I will say it again: What kind of source control do they use??? No pull requests, branches, etc...???

For every movie i download off Amazon, i download 600 episodes. So this version is useless to me
jpp72

I'm downloading a TV show right now and I'm getting individual episodes by season under the TV show title, as before. Are you referencing something else?

KidJoe

NewMelle

Before I go through the trouble of uninstalling, deleting everything and re-installing, What is the default value in the field for TV Show naming template?

I mean, I would be fine with ShowName/SXX/Episode compared to what I have.

KidJoe

That little bird is abso-fucking-lutely right... hehehe

jpp72

Please include... Max is still limited to 720p for content added after about Dec 10,2023. It still gives the "Upgraded DRM" pop-up and you only get 720p copy, even if 1080p or 4K was selected.

I hope that is next on their fix list.

NewMelle

I never changed the default naming conventions/template since I move the files after download anyway. I spot check them on occasion so I don't want the media server seeing them before this. Mine also come down SHOWNAME/SXX/EPISODE as well.

NewMelle

KidJoe

But it does give you a warm fuzzy feeling. :D

Everything I've tried so far with 6.1.8.1 has come down at the specified resolution with EAC3 audio.

smithbrad

My output template settings:

End result of the TV Show Love After Lockup:

TV Shows with v6.1.8.0:

I can live with the wrong codec and wrong resolution cause Sonarr gets that itself but i do need the season and episode numbers!!!

dasauge

No subtitles are downloaded, even with the "Download subtitles only" option. For the TV show American Rust, only the episode title was used as the file name. No folder with the title of the TV show was created either. No season folder. Other TV shows (e.g. Ourika, Twisted Metal) work.

theresay

Crunchyroll is not working. I'm getting the "Failure to access video information" message.

JeffDavis

I don't think I've ever messed with the naming template, so this is probably the default:

artsunlimited

Anyone else get a download of 6.1.8.1. removed (twice) because of its being "unsafe"? I ended up updating from the app on my backup PC but haven't run it yet. Or is Norton just overreacting?

Brozilla

Just uninstall unsafe shit software

Windows defender is the best antivirus

dasauge

My name templates look like this:

The TV Shows I've downloaded so far correspond to the template - with the exception of American Rust. There, the episode title is the same as the file name.

Can anyone load subtitles?

phelings

Last few days Dallas has been taking 2 hours per episode. While there's no mention of 1080 during downloading like there used to be episodes now taking less than 10 minutes so it looks like SF finally getting things back in the right direction.
With AS vanishing it's very convenient timing.
Conspiracy theorists might even think that Anystream have done a runner and made an extra buck by selling their DRM solution on the way out

KidJoe

Tried to change back to "default"

Last Week Tonight with John Oliver episodes (Max Amazon Prime Channel) come down as this...

It was the same when when I had my custom templates in there.

Then again, it may be series dependent....

Hogan's Heroes (Amazon freevee)

That is how I'd expect it.

NewMelle

Brozilla

Wow. That's a bit out of the blue.

This is a false positive, most likely due to the nature of the software. Comes up clean with MB.

The only movie I've grabbed so far did come down with the subtitles. That's only one title though.
