StreamFab Hulu: Possible DRM Change. New Stuff at 720p Only

[jpp72]

Edit: False alarm. Competitor downloads at 1080p. Problem is with StreamFab

Original Post:

As predicted by Nostradamus aka Cats4U, the DRM for Hulu has probably been updated. New seasons of old shows and new shows have a max resolution of 720p and some don't even detect the Audio.

I have only tested a few but:

More investigation yields that the issue is with WWDITS is H265. When selecting H264 it does work.

Might still be DRM change after all

I really wish they made all the download windows the same as Amazon so we could switch between H254 and H265 on-the-fly. I don't get why they aren't doing that. Super frustrating that the different modules are so inconsistent.

I see the same on The Prank Panel with SF, I didn't try the competitor.

Competitor is the same for The Prank Panel.

For WWDITS, it also only works in H264 for them but they only have 64kbps AAC audio with StreamFab gets the DD+ 5.1

It really smells like DRM change but could be something else.

I use http://www.thefutoncritic.com/listings/ to find out what is new on all the streaming services and i tried downloading the newly released Imagine Dragons concert and it downloads at 1080p/H265/DD+5.1. Very weird...

It's because it would cut into their developmental time devoted to making new porn modules and also new modules for sites that would be used by 20 people or less. It's a very unique business model compared to the competition.

All modules should go to the next best available if what is selected is not available. H265 not available, go h264. 5.1/640 sound not available, 5.1/192 gets downloaded.
As far as Hulu downloader, don't even try to guess what sound format you end up with, the description changes a couple of times as it is downloading.

You have a very good sense of humor, I appreciate that, but you also tell the truth.
