6.2.0.2/6.2.0.3 Do not support downloading YouTube Movies

Stan001

I opened a support ticket on 23rd of October regarding this issue, I've had an update from support.

So I'm not sure if this means that Streamfab will no longer work on DRM protected content?

Whole reason I got Streamfab was to allow me to download content that was protected by DRM so I could have a local copy, watch on different devices and watch using a better player. If it doesn't or won't do DRM protected content I am not sure what the point is. :(

Yeah, support gave me the run around on their reply. I do know, like others, the YouTube movie downloader DID support the DRM videos, in the movies/tv section.
Even gave them links to none working movies/tv section videos.
I even went to the extent to point support to this topic of how many users have the same issue now.

My guess is it could be YouTube changed or updated the DRM and SF doesn't know how to handle it now.
It seems slowly that other sites are switching up DRM. And other providers are causing issues in SF, on at least some content.

I can easily find 10 free YouTube downloaders that DON'T download the DRM videos either, why should we keep paying for SF if it doesn't or can't download the DRM videos either now?

ADDED: check here on ongoing DRM issues, with other sites.

Support have said this week's version should resolve the issue.

I sure as heck don't know what Fix: A failure problem when analyzing NetEase Cloud Music with YouTube Downloader.
But videos from movie/tv section which are DRM STILL stuck at endless analyzing.

In stremfab.log it stops at
ytdl-m3u8: ytdl analyse success, url: "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xxxx"

Although it is still stuck on screen at analyzing.

Now see more info in log

Indeed.

6.2.0.5 has the exact problems reported for 6.2.0.4
A) analyzing forever while the film plays (and youtube account is logged in)
B) DRM protected error when using "Paste URL(s) to Download"

Support told me it would be fixed in a future release.

It isn't this release.

I really got to the point I don't want to report issues now, even to support/feedback.
It gets crazy that it seems I have to break the issue down in ELI5 talk and even then support ends up saying they will pass it on to the developer, NOTE not developer(s).
And then NO fix comes.
So another wait and see issue. Wait and wait and wait and see.

In the end, it then seems the developer has thousands of reports, puts them in a hat, and pulls a few out a week to try to fix.
Also, I think the developer is required to keep adding new useless modules, so SF can try to get more money, as they charge separately for each new module.
Only those covered by the NPG get them for the one-time charge for NPG.

6.2.0.6 is still broken these same ways.

Chris5626

Still not working but the error message is different now. It feels a little tasteless that right now I'm getting StreamFab adverts for StreamFab All in One Lifetime (which I already have) but if I buy again I'll get RecordFab, something specifically advertised for being compatible with platforms like YouTube :(

What a bunch of crap. YouTube you still only get audio as a choice while trying DRM YouTube videos, trying YouTube movie downloader. Version 6207. Very frustrating and sad.
We PAY huge amounts of money for a working YouTube Movie downloader!!

I will spend the time today uninstalling and installing again, but I am not clearing the cache and/or temp, as it takes an hour to set up SF again if you delete the cache and temp files. And then you get the Netflix login error/issues again.
Although I think I got Netflix figured out again, as I explain (here).
And YES, YouTube shows as logged in via SF.

ADDED: AND WHY DOES IT TAKE SOOOOOO LONG FOR SF TO LOAD A PROVIDER? Don't matter if it's Netflix, Peacock, Amazon, YouTube, or other providers??!!

Stan001

OK, after and uninstal and then install again, still no go. Maybe 6208, 09 or 6210??

Chris5626

Issue remains same error message.

Has anyone heard any updates on this? My support ticket got closed but the problem hasn't been fixed.

It's not entirely clear which YT problem this here refers to ..

.. but Experience has shown that an update should appear within 48 hours
