Current State Of AppleTV+

[ze7zez]

It takes an awfully long time to download H264, and decode, but the result is a massacre as per the attachment. Downloading the H265 version generates a file that cannot be played or processed on the PC due to lack of access to V_QUICKTIME.

Downloading the H265 version generates a file that cannot be played or processed on the PC due to lack of access to V_QUICKTIME.

This is a MKVToolNix (MKVMerge) issue. Switch to either MKV (FFmpeg) or MP4 in your VIP settings.

@ superscorer3
Please post your StreamFab.log after complete uninstall and fresh installed

I uninstalled and then did a reinstall. Still no luck with the Apple TV+ module. Can't click on anything. I get to the following screen and then when I try and click on things in the browser it does nothing.



I have attached the StreamFab.log file.

Thank you for the advice, but I can't check it because I used 3 free downloads.

So far, I have downloaded from MAX and AP and had no problems.

@ I_garcia
I think checking the log files is useless - because the messages are always the same:
server replied: Bad Request

My Fraggle Rock Videos has also drop-outs (freeze but play in mpc-hc after step forward)

I retried with H265 864x486 + AAC es-es
and have 10x [Critical] for video => 5 attempts for 2 failed segments
the result is 10mb with 1 min 12 s (H264 more errors)

After this I tested with SF 6193 (same connection + atv account)
Resulting 864x486 es-es of course AAC 32k - but no errors in log


@ superscorer3
The pic is very small , but I see "Get total access to Apple TV+"
So you can't be log-in - can you log-in in regular browser?
I can't see your attachment

did you reboot your computer after you reinstalled streamfab ??

I can't click on anything in the browser for Apple TV+ that is in the StreamFab software (Except the Search Text Field for some reason).

I can access Apple TV + fine in my normal web browser outside of the software.

I have uninstalled and reinstalled the software. I have rebooted my computer since the reinstall.

Here is the log file. I don't know why it didn't attached correctly last time.
StreamFab.zip StreamFab.log

@ superscorer3

You have uninstalled 6194_x64 and 6188_x86 ?? unusual

After install you have not default settings and full dl history ..
.. so you should remove or better rename %AppData%\DVDFab\StreamFab
and remove or better rename your SF Temp Folder
after this start the offline installer once again and set settings

"Message from shared memory" is for me
C:/Users/Germania/Documents/DVDFab/Temp/cache
yours: F:\Video\Temp/cache
looks weird => slash ≠ backslash

after start Apple service:
[Log]: Error: there is no available url
[Critical]: command: request server command failed

I looked through MediaInfo for the file and I don't see that I used mkvmerge, but I do see Lavf60.3.100.

Does this say that apple+ now supports 4k download? https://forum.dvdfab.cn/forum/softwa...august-15-2024

[Germania]

Does this say that apple+ now supports 4k download?

Added support to download certain movies or TV Shows in 1080p/4k video quality.

from #3 2.

(480p for all of videos, part of videos up to 720p/1080p/4K)

-edit-

I don't see that I used mkvmerge

look at this pic here

You are manipulating my post. I wrote further that “but I do see Lavf60.3.100.”, and that means FFmpeg was used.

Both the x86 and x64 were there so I just uninstalled them both.

I just uninstalled again with also wiping out configurations. Then I deleted folder as well. Reinstalled and seems to be working now. So far still not seeing any improvement in videos downloading in better quality though. Everything I have tried so far still only downloads in 480p from Apple. Not really worth it at that quality.

..and that means FFmpeg was used.

Cats4U talked about the VIP settings and you talked about MediaInfo ..
.. I always use mp4 in SF, so I don't know how it look if outdated Mkvmerge failed

However, if you take a look at the last 2 pages, it is obvious
that there are occasionally faulty files due to "bad requests"

Everything I have tried so far still only downloads in 480p from Apple.

Higher resolution mainly affects popular older titles.
But assuming the download works you still have the
advantage of H265 and audio better than 32k AAC

Who said anything about MediaInfo? I wrote,

If that wasn't simple enough to understand, Germania was kind enough to post a previous message I wrote, along with a screenshot, to show you the VIP setting I was talking about. For more information on the V.QUICKTIME issue when using MKVMerge just do a forum search (top right, choose StreamFab forum only in dropdown options) using the search word, V.QUICKTIME. This issue goes back a long ways, and we have had much discussion about it here on the forum in the past. In simplistic terms, the video shows up listed as being a V.QUICKTIME file by MKVMerge if it has been damaged in someway. FFmpeg and MP4Box label damaged video differently.
