StreamFab & Netflix FPS

fanatic

Ok, so, I noticed something with netflix. I had a vpn going from japan to download cloverfield and the rest of the series. I was able to download the movies in AV1, but at 47 fps and only if I let SF sit there, stuck for about 3 min or so till it starts back up again.. So then I tried VP9 and got 23 fps done in like 5 min if that. The VP1 would take at least 30 min.. 47 fps isn't normal to me. Is it me or is this a SF issue?

That's without vpn the same and affect only AV1, which is relative new in SF.

Sample: The Rookie s01e01

If I dl 432p or 540p the frame rate is 23.976fps and the bit rate is as predicted.
If I dl 720p or 1080p the frame rate is 47.904fps and the bit rate is doubled.

Yes, we can reproduce the problem, and I will ask the dev to check it.

Thanks!

@Germania Yeah thanks for confirming that info for me. I just thought it was a weird FPS but apparently thats what it is for AV1. Thanks again

Any news about AV1 and wrong fps / bit rate ?

It's differently, some are right with 720p, but not with 1080p ..
.. and sometimes come 720p with 49.95fps (sample: Élite s04)

After a few days without any problems I now had NF AV1 again with wrong fps and double bitrate.
First I thought 6192 was to blame then I thought NF Video Codec on-the-fly change is to blame
(restart necessary after change) but neither has been confirmed.

Then the realization that my Clean Install (because of Max) seems to be the cause, which led to
the fact that I can now change between right + wrong AV1 using old + new StreamFab.ini

Now I've spent an hour trying to synchronize two StreamFab.ini files, and testing SF restarts
nd DL again and again, but I just can't find what I'm looking for ...
... but maybe the order is also decisive (?)

was you able to fix it ? i have the same exact issue

Germania

> was you able to fix it ?

Unfortunately I still have to change the ini
if I want to use NF AV1 correctly (old ini) or using Max (new ini).

I have not yet managed to do both with the same StreamFab.ini

But I now know that I can also forget about AppleTV+ with the new ini - info
(user Komet was able to solve the problem with fresh 6189)

Germania

can you upload streamfab.ini file that works with NF AV1 please?

Germania

@Wilson.Wang , no more needed to "ask the dev to check it"

My Betatest is finished .. I found the problem - the big bug ..

.. to verify I installed fresh 6189 + 6192
and collected ini changes before 1st start, after start + close
and after start with 1st going into settings and confirm OK
(was necessary because 619x cleaned up + reorder existing 618x ini)

Result:

618x default
NetProxy=3|0||0|| => Don't use proxy

6192 default
NetProxy=0|0||0|| => Direct

6192 with old 618x ini
NetProxy=3|1||0|| => SOCKS4

After testing 3 episodes from different series this applies to me:

Netflix AV1 is wrong with: NetProxy=0|0||0|| or NetProxy=3|0||0|| or 2|1||0||
Netflix AV1 is correct with: NetProxy=3|1||0|| or 1|1||0|| or 4|1||0||

@ raykra
Open Settings => Proxy and choose HTTP or SOCKS (not Direct or HTTPS)
