We are still experiencing DRM issues with some of the StreamFab download modules. If you can only download videos at lower resolutions than you could before January 25th 2024, please be patient as the developers are still working on fixing the issues.
Other symptoms that you are dealing with a DRM problem could be "Failure to access video" errors or endless analysis.
Please refrain from posting about these specific errors as we are of course well aware and working on them. Feel free to post an issue you think might not be related to the DRM problem but bear in mind that they will be treated with a very low priority until the DRM issues are resolved.
The following modules should be fully back to normal (state before January 25th 2024):
AbemaTVApple TV+CrunchyrollDisney+HuluITVX
JoynLeminoNHK+OnlyFansParamount+
RTL+ShahidTubiU-Next
These modules are back to normal for content added prior to January 25th 2024 and lower resolutions for newer content:
AmazonMax
* Netflix content added after January 25th 2024 cannot be downloaded at all. It is back to normal for everything else.
Regarding Peacock , the content that cannot be downloaded is anything posted after February 22nd 2024. Anything Prior can still be downloaded as usual.
I've tried clicking on two different items (movie and TV episode). Both try to add it to the queue using the DRM MPD downloader rather than the HBOMax or Max downloader. (I have only the three free trials on DRM MPD, but a lifetime subscription to the HBOMax downloader. Regardless, the DRM MPD downloader fails.) On Shazam!: Fury of the Gods, for example, the Cancel, Add to Queue, and Download Now dialog box refuses to exit after you click one of the buttons, and there is a failure dialog box behind it.) Selecting Add to Queue does add it to the queue, but then fails to download it ("Failure accessing video from the streaming website" error message).
The big issue appears to be that--although we're being successfully transferred to the MAX site and logged in by clicking the StreamFab HBOMax icon--the link to the correct downloader isn't happening and DRM MPD doesn't work.
Notes
1. If I perform the same action in Microsoft Edge, I'm transferred from HBOMax, automatically logged into the new MAX, and the same selected movies plays correctly in the browser.)
2. StreamFab should now have a separate Max icon to take us directly to the right site and downloader.
You were likely re-directed to the MAX web site. Using the "current" (maybe old soon??) HBOMax downloader in Streamfab doesn't work on MAX yet.
When I tried to log into HBOMax, it told me that MAX was here, re-directed me and logged me in. Using StreamFab, it takes me to the MAX page, and yes, it tries to download using MPD downloader and that doesn't work.
Now that the new MAX page is live, we need to wait for the developers to work on it and fix StreamFab so it works with Max. I have no idea how long that will take.
PS: You can subscribe to MAX via Amazon channels and download from StreamFab's Amazon downloader. You'll be able to also use those credentials to log into the MAX web site and app, so you'll be able to watch using the Max app on Roku/FireTV/AndroidTV and later download from Max if/when FAB fixes Streamfab.
HBO Max works for me,they won't change to just MAX until 2024 in Scandinavia + other European countries, they haven't given an exact date yet. So HBO MAX + Discovery+ are separate.

Yes, my understanding is the change happened in the USA and US Territories/region. BUT not rest of world yet, that will happen in phases.
It will be interesting to see if FAB keeps the existing HBOMax downloader, and adds a MAX Downloader for those regions who have converted. OR if they change the current HBOMax downloader to be MAX (meaning those who haven't converted yet might be out of luck).
If they get it working and that's a big "if", it will only be Max, all other countries will be out of luck if Max is not enabled in their country. Use Amazon Prime for Max, or HBOMax, that will work. But then again they will have to get Amazon Prime working properly also.

I have to ask... Why redirect US users to a StreamFab downloader (DRM MPD) that clearly fails to work with Max? From a customer service standpoint, it would be better to just display an Under Construction-type error message rather than having us log in every day to see if maybe the problem has been fixed.

StreamFab is built to recognize specific domains. If they don't recognize the domain, then it tries to find an MPD or a M3U8.
HBO Max module recognizes hbomax.com but not max.com. So when it detects a video from max.com, it tries with DRM MPD or DRM M3U8.
There is no problem to fix. They basically need to add a new module for Max. Just like when there used to be just HBO Go and then HBO Max launched. Because both were/are available simultaneously, they created a new module for HBO Max.
Logic dictates that they should create a Max module for US customers while other regions can keep using the HBO Max module.
This will 100% be in the release notes so there is no need to "keep trying" every new version if there is no mention in the release notes.

What do you mean by they will have to get Amazon Prime working properly?
I have had no issues downloading from the Max Amazon Prime Channel.
As for the Max module, i am not holding my breath cause all the problems they have with getting 1080p. Competitor released a version supporting Max 5 days ago but right now, it's 720p with shit audio and no H265. If that's where they are at, i don't even want to think about what it's gonna be in SF

They did? I'm still seeing daily posts there asking about support or reporting it not working.
