What worries me a bit is that I don't think anything has changed about DRM encoding among the providers. For example, I can still download from a channel where I used to be able to download with another solution using that alternative application. It is only via Streamfab that it no longer works. I fear the programmer made a fatal mistake somewhere, ...

I fear not. To be honest: I have already tried to go back to a version 5.x and this did not help (now it was not a clean install though). I think there is a part being processed on DVDFab's servers and maybe things are going wrong there.
A little feedback and communication from DVDFab would be welcome.
I myself have purchased Streamfab to save a few local DRM transmissions (www.vtmgo.be) offline and this worked very well. Until this summer suddenly this functionality came to an end (the broadcasts don't want to play anymore and aren't being analyzed -> it must be something with the built-in browser). but unfortunately we get no further than 'our programmer is going to have a look at it'. By now we are almost half a year further ...
Too bad ...

Appears that this did not start happening with users until V6.0.0.3, so that is a starting point for them to see what changed. But since V6.0.0.0 was a totally reconstructed version of V5.X.X.X and different as suggested in how it works with DRM MPD's, don't think falling back to version 5 is possible once version 6 is installed.

I have a hypothesis on the rash of MPD DRM problems going on in the last two weeks. It is purely speculation and I have no way to prove it at this point. Time will prove me right or wrong. As I've mentioned previously in another message, Google is deprecating the Widevine CDM come December 6th. They released the new CDM to Chrome 107 on October 25th and then released the code to all other Chrome-based browsers on November 15th. As far as I have been able to research, Google has not placed an embargo on using the new CDM until December 6th. That is just the day that the old Wideviine CDM will no longer work. With the new CDM released to all the Google-approved Chrome-based browsers on November 15th (roughly two weeks ago) it could be possible that some of these smaller non-VIP MPD video streamers have already made the jump to the new CDM thinking that their user base should now have the means to use it if they are using the latest version of a Chrome-based browser. Time will tell.

I had a few problems with shows in series I normally get off Dish (History Channel & others) not being able to download in last week and got a "your browser is not supported" message.
I don't get a lot from Dish and have enough stuff in queue that I'm working on to keep me busy.
I also didn't think it'd be much use to post it here with logs since it's a provider done thru StreamFab's generic app and I doubt the StreamFab programmers would give a good response to that specific issue or reconcile the problem.

Installed now version 6.0.0.7, but DRM MPD download is still not possible anymore. I used to use following sites:
The website dedicated to the greatest films of the 20th century selected and commented by directors from all over the world
and other similiar archive streaqming sides, but at none of them downloading is possible anymore. But it used to work until mid- November 22 !
When can we expect a fix ? I mean we all paid money for this function, which is mostly not working anymore ?
Thanks!

If another log is required to assist in diagnosing, please let me know and I will post one ASAP.
