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.
Did you delete the contents of your temp folder and use a "professional" uninstaller program to remove all traces of a previous version of StreamFab, including registry entries, before installing 6.1.7.0? If so, attach your StreamFab.log.
Yes i uninstalled streamfab (with professional uninstaller) and downloaded full version of 6.1.7.0 and tried downloading. When i initially selected a movie, it showed as vbr and cbr options ( Cbr file size is aroung 8 gb). i selected cbr and started download. download started and automatically changed to 5.3 gb ( looks like VBR) . i cancelled the download and selected the movie again. not it showed only vbr ( there is no cbr option)
I have attached the logs
Not confusing at all. Amazon is download mode, meaning the way we've done it all along before the DRM change. In other words, they are saying Amazon is totally fixed. You'll have to determine whether that is true or not because I refuse to use any update that uses re-encoding mode with any streamer, even one that I'm not presently subscribed to, which is the case with Netflix.
Still re-encodes for me. That is also how I interpreted the change log (i.e., as an audio only fix)
Why are they wasting time to fix a minor problem on a module that will soon be obsolete? Funimation is closing in April! If they must "fix something" to show they are working on it it should be Crunchyroll.
Are you saying that Amazon is still re-encoding with 6.1.7.0?

If so, attach your StreamFab.log.
Makes no difference - cleaned up everything to o with DVDFab and StreamFab, Program folder, registry, log and temp folders with an absolut clean re-install of 7.1.7.0 and re-register my program again.
Still reencoding.
Try Ex Machine, choose H265. It downloads H264 and then starts re-encoding. Sorry Cats4U
Based on my testing it is still re-encoding. It was previously reported that it downloads the HD (1080p) file, so no upscale, but cannot break the encryption. Instead, it plays the file behind the scenes and captures it to a new file (re-encode). Unfortunately, the quality suffers in that, based on my experience, the new file is around 25% the size of the original download. Some have also reported other issues with the new encode.
If the procedure is - as I understand it - that a file is played in the background and then repackaged, then no DRM is actually violated and is therefore not prohibited, right? That would be nothing more than a screen recorder.

Maybe, but nobody wants that! Can I also film the screen with my iPhone!
Why do you insist on chiming in on things you don't understand?
Upscaling is taking something in a certain resolution and modifying said resolution to something higher. For example, take a 720p video and upscale it to 1080p.
The re-encode mode that StreamFab is doing is, for lack of a better word, screen recording. Because it is done at a greater speed, it's not the pure definition of screen recording.
So it is playing the file at 1080p in high speed and recording the output to a file. It encodes the video on-the-fly using settings similar to the original file and then downloads the original audio to finally remux the video and audio together.

There is no upscaling!
then it is screen recording with encode
re-encode makes absolutely no sense
in addition, screen recording is not normally possible without a gpu
someone (moderator) said that the downloaded video is taken and then encoded to a higher resolution (upscale)
