I recently re-subscribed to Netflix after canceling my account about 6 months ago. I had previously used Netflix on Streamfab. I am wondering if there is something cached with my old account since as soon as I click on something to download on Netflix I am presented with a message that states "Failure analyzing this video, please re-login your Netflix account and try again.". When I click OK I am logged out of Netflix and back on the login screen. Logging back in does not fix the issue and I have also tried uninstalling and reinstalling Streamfab which also doesn't work. Any ideas on something else I can try to fix this? I am going through a VPN so I thought that might be an issue and pulled up Netflix in a browser which worked fine. All other streaming services that I have tried (Amazon, Max, and Paramount Plus) work fine in Streamfab.

Seems like something on SF end.

Yes, that happened to me a few hours ago too .... even though the version had been working since it was releaseda week ago, hadn't been changed by me and no VPN was used.We've had that happen a few times before - but it's unclear whetherSF needs to take action because of a change by NF or whether,as is usually the case, simply waiting will help (example) .... because it's a problem with NF to prevent account sharing.

I too am having the Netflix analysis failure re-login scenario. It start a few hours ago. I started to download a show and the first one was fine so i minimized StreamFab and went about my other business. i just went to check on its progress and after the first couple of episodes i have the "analysis failure" on all other episodes. I've tried everything restarting StreamFab re-logging into Netflix several times, but now i click on a show and i get the analysis failure right there before i even have a chance to put something in the que...I'm not behind the VPN. My LG TV and Nvidia Shield may be logged into the same account at the same IP address. Having them logged in has never caused an issue in the past...

I just tried using StreamFab with Netflix and got Netflix analysis failure re-login scenario. I'm not using vpn. :eek:

Last night I started a series and got to my limit; this morning, I can't get past anything analyzing on Netflix; the whole provider is borked.

Netflix Analyzing Error

Germania

Now I don't get any download options with Netflix and can only get H264 now.

AV1 hangs sometimes for me ..
.. but VP9 works without problems

x265: Request manifest Data failed .. Viewable not available

fanatic

Are we gonna get Netflix fixed again? I still can't pick any settings like H265 or VP9.

I have the same issue, and my workaround is that instead of clicking play or on the title itself, click on the "down chevron" which is on the right hand side of the popup when you hover over the title. This way you should get the Analyzer popup every time, and also the movie doesn't start playing at all which is also a good thing.
Jenobi

This is an excellent little workaround, moreso coz there's no playback crap too. Thanks @Jenobi

if you would have read the last few patch notes you would have seen that H265 was removed from Netflix all together.

Now, if they fixed MAX, we would almost be in bliss. I do not think MAX will be so hard to fix. If you regress to 6.1.8.4, MAX will work, so I guess they have to make some changes in the code. I sent them a report, and the response was ridiculous. I told them Netflix was fixed and said to them that MAX was still not working, even in 720p. All it does is analyze, and they told me to try the new version, 6.1.8.7. I am sure they do not beta-test these versions before release.

It says Netflix is no longer using H265 SDR. Which would mean and please correct me if I'm wrong, that Netflix is still using H265 HDR.

It could be Netflix as Netflix has issues, it could also be SF.
I get weird results even just using H246. For a few movies, I get a better bit rate using main profile versus high, and for some, I got better results with high.
It seems Netflix for sure is doing something with H265, as if you try a series with a number of episodes and set them to H265 it will stop after approximately 2 episodes.
So I just leave SF set to H264.

I don't fully get the added AV1 as some claim it gives even lower quality. And for me just checking trying VP9 there is no difference in high or main and lower bit rates than H464.
Although I looked at av1 and get a higher bit rate than VP9, but still a higher bit rate in H264.

And I get the option of H265, but then the movie gets downloaded in H264, even a new movie.
So maybe give up on Netflix because it seems like also most of the movies that get my attention are only in 540p.

MrGrackle

Ok, So I think I figured out a workaround for the issue. Pick whatever it is you want to download and let it play. Once it starts playing refresh SF and it should analyze the video. I judt did that for netflix.
fanatic

How do you do a "refresh" ? What sequence?

You are correct. H265 is still a thing, just not SDR.
I leave my program at h265 Dolby Vision. If a show or movie is only in h264, it still works fine.

Last time I used NF, it appears to have reverted a bit. When I click the Chevron it does not analyze. But when I click the episode it analyzes. Truthfully, that is PERFECT! But I know is not normal behavior, so a new broken status is probably in the making.

Yeah, as sad as it sounds. Just get a Windows Machine for SF and (unfortunately) buy SF again. The Devs just dont rly care about the Mac version, and who can blame them? The SF userbase probably does not even have 5% Mac users overall.
