SF and WWE on Netflix replays

fanatic

I just thought I'd share this info hoping maybe the dev can figure it out. I was able to get this far with the instant replays so far but still fails except for the VOD version.

you'd have to wait until the show has finished live streaming before it can be downloaded.

Yeah and we still can't download the show from last night. I'm sure it'll be sorted out eventually.

I guess the software should be relabeled as DownloadFAB - maybe then more users will understand that its not a streaming recording software, its a download from streaming services software. If Netflix natively doesn't allow downloads, StreamFab can't download it

The live event is over already. But we can't still download it. And your point is wrong too. Netflix natively doesn't allow to download any of their videos. That is why they have DRM for each and every single video whether it is live or vod.

I can explain this reason why it is not downloading, this is because the event that was just streamed live takes 2 day for Netflix to take the stream and convert it to the play version.

They first still need to edit the stream from commercials/sponsers etc. to a clean play version. After 48 hours it is able to fully download normally. ;)
This is the normal way of Netflix on how they do this.

This has nothing to do with netflix allowing downloads or not and or nothing to do with streamfab.

so besides the 48 hours as a extra info, as you can see it works fine here maybe update your SF to 6.2.1.5.

Is that why we can't download replays hours after the show?

Germania

Yep, that's right

It can be done as it's been done by other people already. It's just the matter of knowing how to do it. Some people are just much more experienced than others when it comes down to getting stuff like that. I only know it can be done cause I downloaded a torrent of RAW as soon as it was over that was right from NF. Just gotta know what you're doing. I asked a user who uploaded it how they did it and the only thing they said to me was the only thing they will tell me is they do it manually without any software. That's all they would tell me.

There is always a way, They could have done it with like a screen record way, you will probably also see all sponsers and commercials etc. in the file i guess.

Well that is incorrect - Netflix DOES allow downloads for a lot of their content (including past episodes of WWE Raw - just checked and I can download show from last Monday and older). I can download Netflix content to my phone or tablet for offline viewing - does NOT show up as option on PC browser - just portable devices. So yes Netflix has a downloading part of their platform

Hi all, know this is a super niche issue but thought it was worth seeing if anyone has the same issue as I am with recently released WWE 'Premium Live Events' (previously known as PPVs) on Netflix (UK).

I seem to be able to download older PLEs without an issue.

Yesterday was the Elimination Chamber 2025. I can't download it. I had a similar issue last month with the Royal Rumble 2025, I tried multiple times within 24 hours of its release and it wouldn't analyse, interestingly enough that one works fine now.

I don't know if Netflix are doing something 'extra' with just released content?

You have to wait and retry - see here

Thanks, that's helpful to know.

Annoyingly it's on Peacock in the US, I have a Peacock account and can access US content via a VPN but Streamfab doesn't seem to like downloading Peacock content from other regions. It does a weird thing where it looks like it 'double downloads' downloading the audio and video as normal and at about normal speed then starting again but at super low speeds, resulting in an output file that looks way bigger than it should be. Did a test download of a 45 minute show earlier and it came out at 6gb :eek:

UPDATE: Been trying to nab it from Peacock but so far it's been downloading for 1 hour 20 minutes, it's downloaded 21.66gb and Streamfab says it's only at 33%, so based on those numbers that is going to be 4 hours to download and about 65gb! :eek:

If anyone knows of a workaround that doesn't involve 48 hours wait I'd love to know, trying to grab Elimination Chamber 2025 :)

Meant to be having a watch party later today and one of my friends is unable to come so I was going to download a copy so they could watch along and do a Discord call rather than having to miss out.

Nope, in SF (via UK)
[code]"LIVE_STREAMING_UNSUPPORTED_DEVICE","reportingCode":"PBCS-457","displayCode":"E125","detail":"licensedManifest/playapi-457: The device is not capable of live streaming[/code]

I tried different "Stream Recorder" and no way ..
.. you can (currently) only play and record the screen (i.e. TubeDigger - untested)

Thanks for taking a look.

Any idea if RecordFab might work? It doesn't specify Netflix but it does say "Easily record your favorite films and shows from any streaming service."

UPDATE: Just gave the trial a go, looks like it's a no.

It can be done with N_m3u8dl-re. The only issue is getting the download to stop properly. When you stop it yourself, the file gets all screwed up at the end. But yes. it can be done.
