Amazon Chrome Error March 3

simchris

Started having random “last track(s) of album” fail issues again.
Cleared cache/temp folder. Re-logged into SF (latest; WinX64). Closed. Relaunched.

Attempting to download new WINGS album; I get the “Update Chrome version” error.

So, looks like the Chromium backend in SF needs an update. In past this would clear up next day, so will try again on March 4.

Is there a way to manually update the chrome engine in Musicfab?
Dumb question. But SF dead in the water for PRIME MUSIC right now.

I have the same problem, please fix it.

Is there a way to manually update the chrome engine in Musicfab?

I don’t think musicfab is much different then SF.
It most likely has qcef browser that needs to be updated by the developer, like SF.

It would be amazing if there was a way for MF and SF to allow user update like Chrome and Edge. It seems there are updates almost daily for them.

I had this same problem with MusicFab and an error from Amazon about having to update my browser…

But I’m running two different machines with MusicFab, and one continued to work, and one didn’t. I’m not a software person, so I don’t know exactly what’s going on–or how MF uses an “embedded” browser or whatever, but since one worked and the other didn’t, I concluded that it must not be an issue with having to get a browser update through MF update–but maybe just updating my browsers on my computers…?

Anyway, I updated MS Edge on the non-working computer, and lo and behold, MF for Amazon started working again! {Edge is set as my default browser at the moment}.

In the past this error would usually clear itself in 48 hours; but this is first time it has not cleared up here in US, no VPN, UHD audio; logged out of all other devices using Prime Music. Chrome and Edge fully updated (this is my main workstation, so I keep everything up to date for security purposes). 1GB connection; Google DNS. Tried the old trick of playing local Prime APP to “bless” my IP.

Today, still unable to get past:
Update Chrome
We have upgraded and this browser version is no longer supported. Please update your browser or download our desktop player.

Okay, adding to the weirdness. To try something different, I used the clear cache option in the settings vs my usual delete cache/temp folder on my audio HDD; was able to browse and look at albums now without the chrome error, after re-logging-in. The moment I went into an album, and selected analyze, then added album to queue, I got the Chrome message again. Album would not download. sigh

simchris

Still getting error with 1006. US, no VPN, noads, Highres account.

Tried:
complete uninstall; clean install; new temp/cache folder. Relogin. Close. Relogin, go to browse. Get the Chrome needs update rrror.

Going to try setting default browser to Edge trick next, which seems ridiculous to even try.

simchris

So, cleared all cache/temp folders; set EDGE as default browser. Re-logged in to PRIME. Closed. Relaunched SF, went to PRIME VIP; clicked on my account – boom, “please update Chrome.”

Dead in the water here.

just for laughs, tried going to music.amazon.com directly, using Chrome, Win 11; zero issues. Asked me to use this device as other devices over limit. Agreed. Able to play.

Went back to SF 1006; logged in; set SF as device in use. Able to press play on my music playlist, boom, instant “update Chrome” message.

So, unrelated to Chrome on the PC, obviously; and something used by SF to render/rip with Chrome engine.

Please try the test version and check Amazon Music again.

I will ask the dev to check it again.

simchris

thanks, will try in a.m. here in California
(on ipad winding down for night). 🙂

simchris

Hi, Wilson
thank you; I can confirm this now works. Installed as admin, and was able to play a song, check account, browse several albums, analyze three titles, add to queue; now downloading and remuxing to FLAC just fine.

I think this is good to go! 🙂

Some minor weirdness, but got past it

a) after downloading 5 albums; gave it an hour rest.
b) launched SF test version; got white screen
c) went to address bar and added / at end of URL; launched site
d) exited; used clear cache option bottom left under account
e) logged back in; no white screen; but all download options only show ‘FLAC’ with no bitrate option
f) closed out; relaunched; now able to see FLAC high bitrate options again

Only including in case anyone else runs into same hiccup

US, no VPN, highres audio option; full legal PRIME account.; Windows 11 PRO, latest.

This version works for me. Thank you.

I am getting a similar error. Also experiencing a download error in You Tube music.

Did you do clean install with the test version Wilson posted in this thread?
