MAX - 6.1.8.7 Stuck analyzing, have to force close app

KidJoe

So I had been running the "fixed" 6.1.8.4 that @Wilson.Wang had posted. I hadn't upgraded due to now downloading much. I just upgraded to 6.1.8.7 using the offline installer. Before trying to download anything, I deleted the contents of my StreamFab Log and Temp folders.

In Max, when trying to download anything, it starts playing with the "Analyzing" pop-up on the screen and never completes. If I click Cancel, the movie keeps playing. If I hit the back button in the Max window to exit the playback (not the back arrow of the Fab UI), the "analyzing pop-up shows again, but this time, if you click cancel nothing happens. My only option is to force close the app (using task manager).

Logs attached.

Did you actually remove all remnants during the uninstallation? Was a tool used to do this?

I have the same problem as KidJoe with v 6.1.8.7 on Max trying to download Godzilla X Kong The New Empire. [ATTACH]n445913[/ATTACH]

No. I did not uninstall the older version of StreamFab first. I just did my normal... Make sure nothing is in the Download Queue for StreamFab, exit StreamFab, run the off-line installer to install over top of the existing install, delete the logs/temp folders, and go.

KidJoe

did you reboot your computer when you reinstalled streamfab ??

Also, don't constraint yourself and just reinstall the whole OS while you're at it. SF will still not work but at least you will know it wasn't needed anyway :)

Seriously though, if that much is required for an update of a software to just work as intended, it is a bug in itself and this whole black-box 'professional uninstaller' voodoo stuff should not be needed at all.

By the way, I have exactly the same problem with Max. 6.1.8.5 worked 'fine' - I mean, it wasn't downloading subtitles at all and hung 50% of the time during downloads, also sometimes messed up the quality and downloaded 576p instead of 720p - but at least something got downloaded. With 6.1.8.7, I get nothing.

upgraded minutes ago to SF 6187, my queue was already empty. Deleted ALL content of temp folder, then re run SF. Netflix now is ok!!!!

Is anyone successful with MAX at all? All it does is analyze for me. Nothing ever downloads.

I rolled back to the 6.1.8.4 that Wilson posted in the other thread... its working for Max. But I guess that older version now has Netflix issues?

Same for me.

Can we possibly get an update on how much longer till we can download 1080p from MAX and not just have to rely on MAX on amazon?

Good question.

I have the same problem now with 6.1.8.7, except my issue is with amazon. Did the whole rodeo routine of clean revo uninstall, reboot, install... it hangs. Reboot... it still hangs on analyzing. I closed the program this morning before I went to bed and after I woke up it was still attempting to close. Just had to force close it for the 3rd time now since updating.

I don't think they know. Its been stuck this way since a DRM change in Mid-December (see THIS THREAD for discussion) . So its totally unrelated to the Jan 25 DRM change that impacted everything else.

You can't be serious? You're reinstalling the program over the program... You're doing more damage than can be done!

Here is a very good guide from @Cats4U

You can't be serious? Its how I've been doing it since I started using DVDFab DRM Downloader. I assume you're saying that those using the "update" button in the app when prompted are also doing more harm than good?

You can't seriously be saying that one must jump through that many hoops any time this app has an issue, are you? Especially when rmcaw52 in Post 3, Chameleon in Post 8, and girdnerg in Post 10 all indicate having the same issue.

I don't own a "professional uninstaller". In my 35 years of using Windows, I never owned, nor used a "professional uninstaller" app. And I'm not about to start now.

Using the plain windows Add/Remove programs, and re-installing the fixed 6.1.8.4 that Wilson posted in the other thread gives me working downloads on Max again. So whatever is broken in 6.1.8.7 was removed/fixed by regular uninstall then reinstall the older SF version. No hoops needed.

EDIT: This is the version I rolled back to -> https://forum.dvdfab.cn/forum/software-support-english/youtube-to-mp3-youtube-video-downloader/444878-6-1-8-4-max-does-not-analyze?p=444931#post444931

I sadly don't have access to Max. Wilson posted a test fix version that seemed to fix it for some. This is the only talk by SF about trying to fix the Max issue. It did not seem to migrate to 86 or 87 updates. Read here https://forum.dvdfab.cn/forum/software-support-english/youtube-to-mp3-youtube-video-downloader/444878-6-1-8-4-max-does-not-analyze?p=444931#post444931

People could uninstall and install again 87 100's of times, it will not fix the Max issue.
I do still believe there are times when an uninstallation is needed and then install the offline installer.
It helped with a few issues I had over time. But I personally did not need a pro uninstaller either.
But just in case, there are several free versions, I like either HiBit Uninstaller or BCUninstaller. Both free and need no registration whatsoever.

Everyone is free to do what they like! It was just a suggestion from me.

6.1.8.4 is working for me. However, it seems silly to have to go backward. Can we expect a real fix any time soon?
