StreamFab for Windows 6.1.4.6 Max Tubi Netflix all at SD Whats Next?

[Chameleon]

I am becoming very disappointed. It was okay when it was just Max, but now its spread to Tubi, and Netflix also, whats next? Is SD the future of downloading? I understand it takes time to do this but it has been 2 years for Max, I hope it's not going to be that long for Netflix and Tubi.

I find it a little curious that the quality of available downloads has gone down, just as DVDFab is pushing their upconverting software.....

Chicken and the egg - which came first? Downloads got worse so lets upconvert, or upconverter is created, and stream qualities go down?

Does give one something to think about.

Yeah I would like to get an update from the devs what the situation is. Anything below 1080p simply isn't worth watching, so netflix is currently utterly useless. I guess 540 would be ok on a phone, but couldn't pay me to watch on my phone.

Wait, Max is SD now?? I mean, I knew it was limited to 720p and I've subscribed via Amazon so I'm just downloading there... But its less than 720p in the Max downloader now?? I'm guessing its not everything because I just fired up the Max downloader, queued up Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory (the old Gene Wilder movie) and its 720p (1280x692 which is 720p at 1.85:1 aspect ratio), and Meg 2 is 1600*670 which is some odd resolution between 720p and 1080p. But it is available as 1280x536 (720p at 2.40:1 aspect) and it even has Atmos!??! (640 kb/s, 48 kHz, 6 channel, E-AC-3 JOC DDP w/Atmos).

And with Netflix, the competitor is having issues too. No HD over there either. So its not just a FAB issue.

I haven't used Tubi.

Were not you the one who was complaining the other day that Max was not 1080p so you couldn't download your films? Sure 720p is HD but not FHD, who are you trying to impress here with your bonehead remarks? We all know the competitor is 1080p in Max, so one day 720p is not good enough for you but now it's fine right? You play two sides when it suits you.

Hey, someone from DVDFab...why don't you respond to some of this instead of pretending like you don't see any of these threads about how all of the downloads are in SD (if that)?

[Air]

Reported 10 days ago that NF downloads SD only (https://forum.dvdfab.cn/forum/softwa...flix-originals) but they dont care about it.

No, *I* was NOT complaining about Max Downloader not being 1080p. I commented that I was using StreamFab's Amazon downloader to do Max stuff because Fab hadn't fixed Max 720p after all this time, and MY COMPLAINT there was that the Amazon Downloader was assigning a different/wrong Episode number to the show's trailer -> https://forum.dvdfab.cn/forum/softwa...rush-season-14

That being said. Re-read your first post, the way you typed it, "Is SD the future of downloading?" while saying first MAX and spread to TUBI and Netflix.

(bold added by me)

Since Netflix is now SD, it reads as if you are saying Max is SD now, rather than 720p. That is why I mentioned using SF's Max Downloader I can still get 720p for me, not SD. I guess what you were really saying is... "First issues with MAX that linger, now issues with TUBI and NETFLIX... what is the next issue going to be, SD for all?"

AND the only thing I mentioned in this thread about the competitor is they too are having issues with better than SD with Netflix. So its not just StreamFab that is impacted. And I did NOT mention the competitor in the other thread at all, even when I talked about Max.

So if I'm being boneheaded, its because I misunderstood what you were trying to say. (Just like you apparently either misunderstood or misremembered what I was saying in the other thread, and misunderstanding what I typed in my reply to you here).


I do share your frustration and agree with you that I hope this Netflix issue doesn't take as long to fix as Max.

What bothered me was that you said your issue was solved because you have the Amazon module for Max (1080p), what about people who bought the Max module thinking they would have 1080p, now they can buy the Amazon module and sign up for Max also. I am sure you are aware that if you signed up for the Max module you cannot have access to the Amazon Max provider, but if you buy the Amazon module you do have access to the Max module, none of which is explained here. Let's cut to the chase, you were well aware of what I meant when I said Max was SD, sure 720p is considered HD, but not FHD that you need with a large screen TV.

[Hey_its_me]

I'm getting 720 on Max, but SD on Netflix and Tubi.

You are supposed to be getting 1080p on Max but if you are satisfied with 720p, enjoy it.

Oh I know about a direct Max subscribption and a Max subscription via Amazon Channels. Same with Paramount+ and what options there are to watch/download those different subscriptions. BTW, I get HBO/MAX free with my cable but can't use that account with Amazon Channels(Max). I choose to ALSO subscribe to Max via Amazon so I could download movies via 1080p because Fab didn't fix it. (I posted that several times in the past). I've also been forth coming that the inability to of FAB to fix StreamFab's HBOmax downloader, even before the service was renamed to Max, is why I purchased the competitor.

I NEVER SAID or claimed the 720p Max issue was solved and not an issue simply because we have the option to purchase Max as a channel via Amazon Download module (if you purchased that) and down load that way. Again, in the recent thread I complained about, I said MAX didn't have the the trailer so it didn't exhibit the symptom of the wrong episode number.

Let's cut to the chase, you were well aware of what I meant when I said Max was SD, sure 720p is considered HD, but not FHD that you need with a large screen TV.

Thanks for the assumption... but NO I WAS NOT. I told you how I initially read it. How it came across to me.

Instead of listening to my side and my reasons, you are assuming and accusing me of things I did not say or do.

And lets look at the title for this thread you wrote...

6.1.4.6 Max Tubi Netflix all at SD Whats Next?

Knowing that Netflix is having issues and is stuck at SD, that title looks a heck of a like you are saying all 3 are SD.

And SD usually equates to anything below 720p, so like 540p/480p/360p.

From now on I guess I'll stick to starting posts with my issues, and nothing more.

[Chameleon]

Fair enough, I will change my initial comment and say all 3 are not what they should be. Let's just bring this conversation to an end and agree the program isn't living up to expectations. I hope you will agree to that. As far as I am concerned, enough has been said.

Has there been any progress on bringing back 1080p Netflix? Mona
