Current State Of AppleTV+

Germania

Does this say that apple+ now supports 4k download?
abcdefg

Added support to download certain movies or TV Shows in 1080p/4k video quality.

You are manipulating my post. I wrote further that “but I do see Lavf60.3.100.”, and that means FFmpeg was used.

@ superscorer3

You have uninstalled 6194_x64 and 6188_x86 ?? unusual

After install you have not default settings and full dl history ..
.. so you should remove or better rename %AppData%\DVDFab\StreamFab
and remove or better rename your SF Temp Folder
after this start the offline installer once again and set settings

"Message from shared memory" is for me
C:/Users/Germania/Documents/DVDFab/Temp/cache
yours: F:\Video\Temp/cache
looks weird => slash ≠ backslash

after start Apple service:
[Log]: Error: there is no available url
[Critical]: command: request server command failed
Germania

Both the x86 and x64 were there so I just uninstalled them both.

I just uninstalled again with also wiping out configurations. Then I deleted folder as well. Reinstalled and seems to be working now. So far still not seeing any improvement in videos downloading in better quality though. Everything I have tried so far still only downloads in 480p from Apple. Not really worth it at that quality.

Cats4U talked about the VIP settings and you talked about MediaInfo ..
.. I always use mp4 in SF, so I don't know how it look if outdated Mkvmerge failed

However, if you take a look at the last 2 pages, it is obvious
that there are occasionally faulty files due to "bad requests"

Everything I have tried so far still only downloads in 480p from Apple.

Higher resolution mainly affects popular older titles.
But assuming the download works you still have the
advantage of H265 and audio better than 32k AAC

I looked through MediaInfo for the file and I don't see that I used mkvmerge, but I do see Lavf60.3.100.
ze7zez

Who said anything about MediaInfo? I wrote,

Switch to either MKV (FFmpeg) or MP4 in your VIP settings.

If that wasn't simple enough to understand, Germania was kind enough to post a previous message I wrote, along with a screenshot, to show you the VIP setting I was talking about. For more information on the V.QUICKTIME issue when using MKVMerge just do a forum search (top right, choose StreamFab forum only in dropdown options) using the search word, V.QUICKTIME. This issue goes back a long ways, and we have had much discussion about it here on the forum in the past. In simplistic terms, the video shows up listed as being a V.QUICKTIME file by MKVMerge if it has been damaged in someway. FFmpeg and MP4Box label damaged video differently.

================================================

I tried to download it but there's no option for a 1080 or 4K.

How did you get 1080 and 4K if it's not listed?

mustangdmg

I came across "green screens" as someone posted about it. So far episodes I've downloaded with green screens with 1080 HEVC Atmos...

Shining Girls - Episode 1
The Shrink Next Door - Episode 3
Lessons in Chemistry - Episode 7

I am also only offered SD - so the key for FHD is probably no longer valid ..
all higher resolutions listed in log with: kid(00000000358e564a6335202020202020)

.. I already wrote in #24 that Apple is re-encoding

What do you want with encrypted 1080p without Key to decrypt?

If you see "green screens" than the title can only be decrypted in SD

When I try today, 862x466 is the best resolution I can select, no matter what video codec I select.

So yeah, something more going on, outside of the StreamFab app on our computers.

Apple has re-encoded - so Kid:Key changed and no more > SD offered

The new Kid start with 00000000358
the new Kid from audio encoded Aug 14 in #24 start with 00000000357

I see in untouched audio from "The Instigators" Encoded date: 2024-08-16

jbinkley60

I am not having any luck with For All Mankind Season 4 episodes 8 & 10 getting them at 1080P or higher. All other episodes came down at 2160P.

What did you use to create that screen shot?

I'm curious, because MediaInfo shows the Encode date matching the File Created date from Windows. (Eastern is UTC-4, so 11:36am ET is 15:36 UTC)

So it looks like in my case, the Encoded Date from MediaInfo is the remux being done via MKVMerge.

Germania

> What did you use to create that screen shot?

MPC-HC - my default player

This is untouched (ddl from apple manually from today not from Aug 16) and shows that apple re-encoded that, thats why the new key for >SD is unknown

That appears to be giving the same stats as the stand alone MediaInfo app.

I was missing the reference to in the logs (StreamFab logs).

I don't know enough of about how SF downloads from AppleTV+ and I'm curious.

In my logs, I see mention of kid(00000000328d49596331202020202020) as well as kid(00000000355f86656335202020202020), kid(00000000328d49596335202020202020), and several others., as well as kid() for my downloads over the past few days and today. I'm assuming the kid() in the section where the resolutions and codecs are listed is why it can't download some of these resolutions?

Germania

> That appears to be giving the same stats as the stand alone MediaInfo app.

Correct it use MediaInfo.dll v24.6

A Kid (Key ID) contains a globally unique identifier (GUID) that
the client uses to ask the Server for a corresponding Key to decrypt

In simple terms, this is sent to the license server to request the appropriate key for decrypt.
With Apple, however, the clients only receive a key for SD and another key for audio.
SF therefore compares whether the appropriate key for >SD is stored in its database to enable dl >SD

Ergo: 3 different Keys - 1x Video SD, 1x Video >SD, 1x Audio (by Apple, other Provider use 1-5)
And after re-encoding by Apple a new Kid is generated and therefore a new Key to decrypt required.

Apple apparently does not use random KIDs but consecutive ones ..
.. the larger the number, the newer the file

So is AppleTV working now? does "6.1.9.5" work?

For example, I repeated the test from #16
and no longer have any errors in the log

But testing Fraggles.s02e01 from #30 in >SD have same problem
Bad Request, code : 302

I had the same problem and complete uninstall and removal of settings and cache resolved.

Update. Version 6.1.9.5 resolved the issues with these 2 Apple+ episodes and i was able to grab them at 2160P like the rest of the series.

Thanks,

Jeff

I have tried to download The Instigators and Fancy Dance movies and never get any HD options. Using version 6.1.9.5. Anyone able to get HD downloads on those two movies?
