Its HBO max not the Player.

Thanks Chameleon,

Yeah,

I read the other posts in the forums about this issue that said that it was an HBO change, evidently only effecting new files above a certain resolution after a certain date.

I tried the 1280x720 of We Own This City S01E01 file (see attached info) and it plays ok.

The Admin posted on one reply of mine, that the poster needs to submit his own logs, specific to his environment.

I'll probably be posting New Topics if I look at & duplicate an issue, so it's a problem that I have in my environment.

1280x720 is fine for 99% of people, the videophiles will go nuts but they are never satisfied with anything, it's just a movie boys.

Many people have already fixed this problem in their tools, I am sure Streamfab will fix it too, just let them work on it.

If for you watching in 1280x720 is good, great!

But I don't have a tube TV like yours, so most of us prefer to keep watching in 1080p or higher.
