Streamfab 5.0.5.3. Amazon Prime cannot find Rings of Power Episode 4

[FredH]

Previously, Streamfab found the Rings of Power episodes and reported the time at 0.00, but now it cannot find the existence of episode 4, which can be found in a regular browser. Log attached, if that helps for this

Hi Fred H,

Can you look now?

The reason I'm asking is I also notice that around midnight - 1am, it was the same for me with StreamFab not showing that episode, but it was found by my browser and I watched it on TV via Roku.

I believe that this is due to the episode making it's way to the different CDN servers that you might hit when accessing Amazon content and you just need to wait a little bit when you're in the distribution window for the video by streaming service.

Thanks!

Good call. I can get it now. It seems weird, though, that the StreamFab browser and Chrome would not both see the same files from the CDN. I am not using a VPN so I assume they would both ping the same one.

I *think* Amazon randomly serves out (based on how busy they are) the CDN servers to a connection when it receives a request from StreamFab/Browser/Roku/Alternate Software - which is when the application queries the program.

Might be confusing since you might think since you have an internet connection you would be hitting the same CDN server.

Just Fyi - this is what I saw around 12:45am (between midnight/1am) here on CST U.S. time.

Episode 4 not available via StreamFab.
Episode 4 was available in Chrome.
Episode 4 was available via Alternate Software
Episode 4 was available to play on TV via Roku Ultra - direct connect to Internet

After I watched the episode on TV, I went back & checked StreamFab and it was available there then.

I guess you could just close out StreamFab and re-open it a few times to see if hits a different CDN server or just wait for the episode to propagate.

But from what I observed I *think* that's what is happening.
