StreamFab for Windows DRM M3U8 module and AETV download quality

[GlacierIsland]

Hi all, I've noticed that AETV has two types of videos available to download. The first are what they called "Unlocked" videos which are accessible without being signed into a Pay TV account. These can be picked up by the YouTube Downloader function and are available in 720p. The second are "Locked" videos which require you to sign into a Pay TV account to prove you have access to the A&E channel before you can stream them. Once authenticated/logged in, StreamFab can pick up these videos, but only in 540p with the DRM M3U8 module. I was curious if it would be possible to get access to 720p through that module or if 540p is the maximum possible with locked videos.

• StreamFab Version, Platform, and OS: v6.1.8.9, Win x64, Windows 11 Pro
• Region/Country: USA

Note: I get an error that my StreamFab.log file of 1.65 MB exceeds the limit of 683.6 KB, so I can't attach it. If you want me to use a third-party filehost for it, let me know.

I can dl 720p for free ..
.. and have no access to "locked videos"

You can test the max resolution in your (activated) regular browser
Go to "Network" tab in developer tools panel.
Filter: master.m3u8
and copy this url in yt-dlp or read with editor

I think A&E don't give you 1080P versions of the stream
Hulu with live tv subscription could give you 1080p

btw: You can delete/rename your log before a single test - this reduces the size
