You're not wrong here as far as going backwards on a few things.
I would be happy if they rolled back the Amazon analysis 6 or 7 versions to where it would allow forced analysis. I am happier with the mod suggested by @0xFeedBeef - it makes analyzing a show almost instant and fixes my 2.0 / 5.1 audio issue.
Hulu, fix it to work again with duo plans, it worked before. As far as analysis, my old trick doesn't work any more. I used to click 'cancel' when it was analyzing a show's seasons, then I would click the show, then select the season and episode I wanted. If I do that now I usually get the "Too many streams" error. So now I have to wait for it to analyze all the episodes, click cancel, then go in and select the season and episode I want.
