MAX - 6.1.8.7 Stuck analyzing, have to force close app

[KidJoe]

So I had been running the "fixed" 6.1.8.4 that Wilson.Wang had posted. I hadn't upgraded due to now downloading much. I just upgraded to 6.1.8.7 using the offline installer. Before trying to download anything, I deleted the contents of my StreamFab Log and Temp folders.

In Max, when trying to download anything, it starts playing with the "Analyzing" pop-up on the screen and never completes. If I click Cancel, the movie keeps playing. If I hit the back button in the Max window to exit the playback (not the back arrow of the Fab UI), the "analyzing pop-up shows again, but this time, if you click cancel nothing happens. My only option is to force close the app (using task manager).

Logs attached.

Did you actually remove all remnants during the uninstallation? Was a tool used to do this?

I have the same problem as KidJoe with v 6.1.8.7 on Max trying to download Godzilla X Kong The New Empire. StreamFab.log

No. I did not uninstall the older version of StreamFab first. I just did my normal... Make sure nothing is in the Download Queue for StreamFab, exit StreamFab, run the off-line installer to install over top of the existing install, delete the logs/temp folders, and go.

did you reboot your computer when you reinstalled streamfab ??

Also, don't constraint yourself and just reinstall the whole OS while you're at it. SF will still not work but at least you will know it wasn't needed anyway

Seriously though, if that much is required for an update of a software to just work as intended, it is a bug in itself and this whole black-box 'professional uninstaller' voodoo stuff should not be needed at all.

By the way, I have exactly the same problem with Max. 6.1.8.5 worked 'fine' - I mean, it wasn't downloading subtitles at all and hung 50% of the time during downloads, also sometimes messed up the quality and downloaded 576p instead of 720p - but at least something got downloaded. With 6.1.8.7, I get nothing.

upgraded minutes ago to SF 6187, my queue was already empty. Deleted ALL content of temp folder, then re run SF. Netflix now is ok!!!!

Is anyone successful with MAX at all? All it does is analyze for me. Nothing ever downloads.

I rolled back to the 6.1.8.4 that Wilson posted in the other thread... its working for Max. But I guess that older version now has Netflix issues?

Same for me.

Can we possibly get an update on how much longer till we can download 1080p from MAX and not just have to rely on MAX on amazon?

Good question.

I don't think they know. Its been stuck this way since a DRM change in Mid-December (see THIS THREAD for discussion) . So its totally unrelated to the Jan 25 DRM change that impacted everything else.

You can't be serious? You're reinstalling the program over the program... You're doing more damage than can be done!
