StreamFab 7.0.4.1 won't remux subtitles!

ecsjjgg

I’ve tried to download a series from tv4play.se, using the DRM M3U8 downloader, but the latest version of StreamFab (version 7.0.4.1) won’t remux the subtitles into the mkv (I am using ffmpeg)! I had to select ‘extract to srt’ to be able to download the subtitles! This used to work in the previous version…

I can currently only confirm this for tv4play for all video formats

DL is fine (example: Sullivan’s Crossing.s04e01)
"remuxDownloadedFiles subtitle stream, langCode :swe, path : ../Period_00/Sub_00/st_00, bForced :0, size :82385"

but simply no subtitle in ffmpeg command line:
StartRemuxMultiAudioSrtMetaUtil pid 13768 cmd: \".. ffmpeg.exe\" -hide_banner -y -i \"../Video_00/vt_00\" -i \"../Audio_00/at_00\" -map 0 -c:v:0 copy -c:a copy -dn -map 1 -c:a copy -metadata:s:a:0 language=eng -metadata:s:a:0 title=\"\" -metadata artist=\"\" -metadata date=\"\" -metadata description=\"\" -metadata title=\"Sullivan's Crossing - Avsnitt 1, Säsong 4\" -metadata show=\"\" -metadata comment=\"\" \"../outputTemp/DRM M3U8/../2026_07_24_02_15_35_remuxVideo.mkv\"\n"

btw: Same result with mp4 and mkv(mkvtoolnix)

For comparison, I tried it again with SF 7040:
StartRemuxMultiAudioSrtMetaUtil pid 16924 cmd: \".. ffmpeg.exe\" -hide_banner -y -i \"../Video_00/vt_00\" -i \".. /Audio_00/at_00\" -i \".. /Sub_00/st_00\" -map 0 -c:v:0 copy -c:a copy -dn -map 1 -c:a copy -map 2 -c:s srt -metadata:s:s:0 language=swe -metadata:s:s:0 title=\"\" -disposition:s:0 default -metadata:s:a:0 language=eng -metadata:s:a:0 title=\"\" -metadata artist=\"\" -metadata date=\"\" -metadata description=\"\" -metadata title=\"Sullivan's Crossing - Avsnitt 1, Säsong 4\" -metadata show=\"\" -metadata comment=\"\" \"../outputTemp/DRM M3U8/../2026_07_24_12_53_10_remuxVideo.mkv\"\n"

So, as previously noted, subtitles is missing from the ffmpeg command line in 7041
-i \".. /Sub_00/st_00\" -map 2 -c:s srt -metadata:s:s:0 language=swe -metadata:s:s:0 title=\"\" -disposition:s:0 default

Update: This is still NOT fixed in SF 7042!

ecsjjgg Problem med undertexter är tyvärr väldigt lågprioriterat. Det kanske blir fixat om några månader om man har tur…

Du kan se vilka stora problem jag har med undertexter när det gäller webbläsartilläggen/Coappar här https://forum.dvdfab.cn/d/472927-error-status-for-extensions. Absolut ingenting händer…

English: Problems with subtitles are unfortunately very low prioritized. It maybe will get fixed in some months if you are lucky…

You can see the big problems I have with subtitles regarding the web extensions/Coapps here https://forum.dvdfab.cn/d/472927-error-status-for-extensions. Absolutely nothing happens…

You can use in cmd:
"C:\Program Files\MKVToolNix\mkvmerge.exe" -o "New file with subtitle.mkv" "Original file without subtitle.mkv" "Subtitle.srt"

Or if you have MKVToolNix in PATH, just use:
mkvmerge -o "New file with subtitle.mkv" "Original file without subtitle.mkv" "Subtitle.srt"

I’ve tested the latest StreamFab version, 7043 on tvplay.se, but that version says my browser is too old…

So I reverted back to 7042, but the same error came up!
It used to work last week, but apparently tv4play.se now enforces a newer version of chromium…

Please update it!

Germania

ecsjjgg It used to work last week, but apparently tv4play.se now enforces a newer version of chromium…

All providers where SF use with PlayReady work with the outdated CEF version ..
.. so why should we assume that providers that use SF with
Widevine wouldn’t work if the same CEF version is used?

It’s not outdated CEF - it’s outdated Widevine
so it’s not “only” an update - a new crack is required ..

Germania

Ok, then it’s widewine that is outdated, but tv4play.se says it’s the browser that is outdated…

We are waiting for SF to update it’s crack of widewine!

Germania

ecsjjgg but tv4play.se says it’s the browser that is outdated

Because a newer widevine is per default in a newer browser version ..

Do you really think the providers in SE (tv4play.se), the UK (ITV + U)
and Norway (TV2play.no + Viaplay.no), as well as Germany and the US ..
(Amazon) and many more coordinated with each other to
all require a newer browser version on the same day?

Germania

ecsjjgg tv4play.se says it’s the browser that is outdated

FYI: Unchanged -outdated- CEF

Thank you @Germania for the clarification…

I am trying to download E05 of the tv4play+ series ‘Tills döden skiljer oss’, but it won’t come, not even in 720p…

Germania

ecsjjgg I am trying to download E05 of the tv4play+ series ‘Tills döden skiljer oss’,

It’s a new release .. so the current Widevine is required to get license ..

.. like other providers not all titles have the same problem.
That’s also a proof that only widevine (CWV) is relevant ..

How do I manually download this? Please explain…

Germania

ecsjjgg How do I manually download this?

You need:
ffmpeg.exe + shaka-packager.exe (located in the SF program directory)
and a downloader – I prefer N_m3u8DL-RE.exe

Copy all three tools into the same directory
and run the following command line (a single line) in that directory:

N_m3u8DL-RE -mt true -M format=mp4 --use-shaka-packager --custom-hls-key file --key 82e31cff78db3084a123bdbc3dd98bb2:1dadaae8f011471ffc10dca04ea6d06d "https://cloudfrontvod.streaming.a2d.tv/451298ee-9c53-4dc3-9241-38146d9f3c96/aa5c5bd0-6637-11f1-99b0-39212e6e1722_21077946.ism/.m3u8"

(change format=mp4 to mkv if you prefer)

Thank you very much @Germania , you are always very helpful and knowledgeable!

Edit: This problem was fixed in the latest beta, and also my original problem, with the subtitles not remuxing, was also fixed in the test-version😃
