[isrdude]

Cats4u....I appreciate your heads up to the community about this. I for one would've completely forgot that this was coming up and would've been the screaming at my computer for failure downloads!!! Kudo's for looking out for the community!

Looks like vindication for Cats4U. Sometimes the sky IS falling.

Last time this happened, how long did it take streamfab team to resolve? It was only a few days, wasn't it?

Hi Mobe1969,

I guess it'd depend on what you're referencing...

Netflix
Paramount+
Apple+ Current new releases/(How StreamFab has addressed 720p/sub 720p)
HBO Max (How StreamFab addressed 1080p on 2 occasions re: DRM this year)
Etc...

I think per response in the past, we can't really expect anything in the next few days since it's Friday here (US/CST) and I *think* their weekend staffing/support is minimal.

Since there seems to be a pretty wide effect to different providers, Netflix/Paramount+/Apple+ so far for new content, you'd think this should be there number one priority and people would be called in to look at post haste.

And it's not as if they haven't been getting posts/warnings about this event.

We've been getting messages from other streaming services about updating Chrome lately, such as The CW, so I don't know if we'll see some more dominos re: new content in near future for them.

According to this page, It's a Wonderful Binge was added today. It downloads fine in StreamFab

Re: Hulu above...

[jpp72]

wait, should be I getting Pinocchio - Guillermo del Toro's in 540p from SF? because I just get an error "Failure accessing video information, please check your network connection or contact us for help."

No 540p is with the competitor

PS: Anyone tried Hulu and see how it's working? - I put it on hold for a week yesterday in order to reset the charge/debit date - it was the only bill of all my bills to charge prior to 15th (except rent) and I like having them all after 15th due to monthly pay date Excel spreadsheet tracking.

Hi Jpp72,

This is worthy of posting under it's own topic, so it won't get lost in this thread...

Hey Mike...doesn't matter which application you use...the decryption code is pulled from SF's database....so one is not going to get something the other won't.
Also...the old CDM has NOT been revoked yet. If we're really lucky it won't be, but all joking aside...it will most likely happen in a few days.

Newsgroups are great if you get a good deal for a provider and you also need a good site to provide NZB files for you.

Oops....looks like it might have been revoked last night or early today.

FYI, before you spend on SF for Android:

• It cannot be installed on BlueStacks
• There are almost no settings
• It cannot download the new stuff, just like the desktop version

Asked for a refund...

Lately it's been more than some at 540p, as noted.......but as least it's a download and not a dead stop. One of those titles being 'The Sinner' all three seasons downloaded at 540p which are not new seasons, but StreamFab downloads that series at 1080p with no problem. So, I'm thinking we are back to grabbing and seeing what we can at the best resolution until these guys can get a grab/hold on to what's going on as a fix. Apparently there has been a change.

As a side note....thanks Mike for those Topaz parameters settings and how to set it up, truly mind blowing.

Down2Earfh,

Yeah,

I haven't bothered posting threads when I encounter 540p on Competitor for Netflix due to StreamFab getting at 1080p - I'll probably rethink that & post *everyone* I encounter as a thread w/logs just to make sure it's on their list.

I like having both StreamFab & The Competitor for comparison/backups.

It's getting a little busy with stuff like HBO Max via it's own website, via Amazon, via StreamFab, via The Competitor on figuring out which files to go with and costs due (on 3 month trial of ~$9 with HBO Max direct website/no commercials/on 7 day Trial of HBO Max channel via Amazon).

With future Discovery+ addition to HBO Max, wondering if they will offer "Combo" via Amazon - if they're like Paramount+/Showtime only via Paramount+ website- maybe not, but not sweating it.

My target is 1080p with Multichannel Dolby Digital+ EAC.

It's (Pinocchio - Guillermo del Toro's) lower resolution 540p but does have 640bp/s 6channel EAC audio for competitor.

The competitor sometimes had/has titles in Netflix that do "540p".

Lately it's been more than some at 540p, as noted.......but as least it's a download and not a dead stop.
