Netflix Issue when connected to vpn

[DonnaD]

I am attempting to download a show which is unavailable in my country. I connect to my vpn once I've logged into Netflix, and the series shows.

When I try to click on it to download though, I get kicked out in the Downloader and it says I have to log in again. I have to disconnect my vpn to do this (as otherwise it shows as a password error), and I have the same issue over and over again. As soon as I click to download - kicked out again.

I am able to watch the show fine in my web browser (Firefox), I just can't download via the Downloader.

I have attached screenshots. Although the Netflix screen shows blank, it is actually playing fine.

have you tried switching to a different VPN server ??

Yes, it has really become more difficult.

For two days i tried to dl "The 100" from Netflix Sweden
which I often do before and it unexpectedly failed (in a hurry)
But download from Netflix USA worked for me (Homebase Germany).

I think you can only login in home country..
..and this cookie don't work in every country.

This is "To Be Continued" (2024) in Thailand or where?
It was released today (or wasn't it?) - so it has a DRM issue

Error code E114 "Your account can't be used in this location"

You can try:
Thailand, Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, the Philippines,
Cambodia, Laos, Myanmar, Vietnam, Brunei, and East Timor

But if played - SF have no key for decrypt new content - so dl failed

[Critical]: "[DownloadNetflix]" ParseManifest manifest error :

Thanks for your replies. I thought I'd ask, because according to the sticky post if I can watch a show through my browser (which I can) but can't download, then it's a Streamfab issue.

I don't want to disagree with that, but even if the download had worked,
you wouldn't have won anything.
The result would still be encrypted due to the new DRM.
