You're going to have to just relax. If, in fact, it is a new DRM, as we both think, it's going to take some time to fix. Depending on how complex they have made the DRM, there is no doubt, we will have to wait. No amount of complaining to Support will make it happen any faster. You know it has to be fixed and they know it has to be fixed, with time and hard work, it will be fixed. With the exception of HBO MAX (still waiting after 4 months), it seems to me, that the average time for them to figure it out lately is about 1 month. I could be wrong on the length of time ultimately because it is only based on the short amount of time I've used StreamFab.
On the bright side, look at the competition's situation. They've been promising, for some time, the imminent release of a new unnamed downloader. Of course, the name of the new downloader eventually leaked and it is for Peacock. If this is a DRM change then they are back to square one. Just think how these customers are going to feel after being promised a new downloader for so long and almost getting it. Disclaimer: this is all just speculation on my part at this time as I have no inside knowledge of what goes on over there.

Actually that's good news. Better than waiting a month or more for a new DRM to be worked out. If you can do it in such a short amount of time, hopefully the developer can, too. So, could you explain what it was, if it was not a new DRM, that was causing the problem? Perhaps a few hints as to your alternate method, too? Please.

I love cats but I could do without this one.
You have me very confused. First, you say you were able to download it by using "an alternate method" and then you say "I did nothing." I can't figure out how to reconcile those two together.

I'm sticking with still a server error. it works sporadically.
DRM caused parsing errors last time it was changed. (Couldn't Decrypt)
Streamfab is just having a lot of issues today.
I was able to grab GOAT with an older version, but the new version wouldn't decrypt it. If it were a DRM issue...neither version would have worked.
Plus...no errors at the other place we aren't supposed to talk about.
The Kitty Picture does show up often....even when everything is OK.
There's even download problems with Pluto...and it doesn't use Widevine.
