That's their job, that's what we paid them a rather hefty sum to do. This is irrelevant to the discussion at hand

Actually it is relevant if Service A and Service B both use different encryption/DRM, and because not all sites are formatted the same way, use the same HTML Code, etc. So there is work being done to add support for each site and the DRM method they use, including if they are added "later".
Are you saying that StreamFab (formerly DVDFab Downloader) was sold to you as "you are buying the ability to download from any and every site on the internet, no matter how they are formatted or work or what they use for DRM"? IF so, Sorry, I never saw it that way.
Starting with the March 2021 change, they did start clearly selling StreamFab saying that if you want to download Service A you buy Module A, if you want to download from Site B you buy Module B, etc. or you buy All-in-One to get all services offered at that time (for a lower price than buying all individually). And they were clear when they made that change, and on their web site, that after that date, when you buy All-In-One license you get usage of only those sites/modules available (and listed on their web site) at the time you purchased your license. IF support was added for new sites/services it would be over and above your license and if you wanted those new modules you'd have to buy a license for them.
As DVDFab team does the work to make StreamFab capable of downloading from additional DRM sites/services, they bring it out as a new module then based on when you purchased your license you either get it for free, or have to pay (usually if you have to pay, its at a discount).
When existing services "broke" due to DRM changes on the Streaming provider's sites in Spring 2021, did they sell you a NEW modules for those services if you already paid for them? NO.
This is true, now, but this was not always true. Those of us that were early adopters (I'm talking late 2020/first quarter of last year) were promised all future modules for the AIO price. While they've delivered on that (somewhat, again, sans adult) until now, they have pulled a fast one with the new encryption module.
So basically, they lied. What else are they lying about here?

I guess you missed in my post [quote](Note: if you purchased DVDFab Downloaded or StreamFab before a certain date, March 2021 was it? You continue to get all new non-adult ones...)[/quote]
I too am an early adopter. (earliest installer I have on my hard drive is DVDDownloader x86 1.0.20)
I have NOT had to pay for any new modules, other than Adult ones which I don't need/want anyway.
There was one exception where Fab had a back end issue that impacted multiple people such that the new module (I forget which one) wasn't immediately added for free. There was a thread about it and support corrected it.
As for DASH MPD format, it was confirmed in
another thread by Mona that it isn't supported by StreamFab.
EDIT: I stand corrected. While I was able to download using M3u8 Downloader it appears looking at my LICENSE SCREEN it shows 3 videos left. So now I wonder... Is this an issue on their back end like happened once before? I'm contacting support.
