StreamFab 6.0.0.3 not downloading DRM MPD files

[Down2Earth]

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.

Feedback was given by Mona (post #18) as noted that this was a known problem and needs time to be addressed/fixed.

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. (Been here before, use caution with upgrades)

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 was thinking the same thing... I have been getting prompts by webapps that a new version is available and to click here to upgrade and reload (kinda like the WhatsApp webapp updates)

Happened with Sling.com and after that. i wasn't able to download the only show i use it for... Maybe i should try other shows and see...

Just fyi,

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.

Ya same. Sling was already super annoying to grab things with StreamFab and then this happened. So i finally said fuck it and got myself a US Phone number, created a US Amazon account and bought the latest season of Life After Lockup. Once again proving that we "pirates" are not cheap ass thieves. We don't mind paying for shit if we can keep it and be able to play it on any device and with any player we want...

Installed now version 6.0.0.7, but DRM MPD download is still not possible anymore. I used to use following sites:



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!

Installed now version 6.0.0.7, but DRM MPD download is still not possible anymore.

Just to report in based on my original question in this thread, I also have updated to 6.0.0.7, and am also still not able to download DRM MPD files from the site I usually use.

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

The DRM MPD problem still needs time to work out.

Where? Still fails when it comes to the nordic Viaplay service and ditto on SkyShowtime.

[Bommel69]

Also fails on Bibel.tv

Finally able to download from MY5 (the UK Channel 5 streaming service) again but all content remains as SD only. Its not a pay service so why can't you sort out HD downloads?

Due to a bug in the Forum software, you are technically not considered a member of this forum. That is why it takes so long for any message you write to be accepted by the Forum. Also, it delays the actual posting of your message by a day or more, resulting in the message appearing, perhaps, on page 2 or 3 or more. Most forum readers (including staff, it appears sometimes) only tend to read page 1 and so no one reads your message and in turn will not offer you help with your problem.

To All: If you look at a message you have written and there is not the word "Member" (in some form such as Member, New Member, Junior Member) under your avatar, you are experiencing the same situation.

To fix this, write to Mona or some other member of the staff to have them turn on the switch to make you an actual member of the Forum.
