HBOMax revoked CDM? Back to 720p on HBOMax direct SFab 6119

[Mike_M]

Hiya,

fyi,

It looks like HBOMax *might* have revoked CDM or made some change for newer stuff via HBOMax direct website.

Get 720p popup on HBOMax direct website for Love&Death.

HBOMax as a channel via Amazon Prime still works with 1080p.

Luckily I got HBO Max as a channel w/Cinemax via Amazon last re-up (it also gives you HBOMax direct website access)

Haven't played around with menu settings/formats.

Would be nice if someone else confirms this. ⬅️

Mike_M it may be just that series that limits SF to 720p. I just downloaded Marked for Death from HBOMax at 1080p so I don't think CDM is revoked.

Marked for Death is not new. The keys are cached, that's the only way you can download 1080p from StreamFab. The CDM got revoked a day or two ago, it just affects new releases, although on Stream Fab everything is in 720p except for old cached key releases. It's been like this for over a year.

Hi Bwnautilus,

I think it applies to new content being added now.

Marked for Death is falling under previously added content.

Love&Death was just added.

Fired on Mars S01E01 1920x1080
Fired on Mars S01E04 1280x720 (Just added)
Titans S04E01 1920x1080
Titans S04E10 1280x720 (just added)


Will need to see if content added from now is effected I think.

And it's not just StreamFab having the issue. The Fox is having issues too.

So I guess we wait.

Note: this only impacts downloading directly using the HBOMax download module.

If you subscribe to HBOMax via Amazon Prime Channels and you can still download 1080p through Amazon downloader.

Hi Kidjoe,

Yep,

"The Fox" is having the issue right now.

They replied to a user today that pointed the first instance of new content doing today ~5 A.M., the same day it was brought to their attention, and said they were looking into it.

One reason I posted it here (and tested StreamFab), was to bring it to DVDFabs/StreamFabs attention so they can get working on in A.S.A.P.

I noted in my first post on this topic that I started that HBOMax as a channel on Amazon Prime was also an option since it is currently working at 1080p for HBOMax content.

I even included testing of HBOMax as a channel vs HBOMax direct in my log files for StreamFab 6.1.1.9 to look at in my first post.

From first post on this topic I started:

Topic header " HBOMax revoked CDM? Back to 720p on HBOMax direct SFab 6119"

HBOMax as a channel via Amazon Prime still works with 1080p.

Hi Kidjoe,

Fyi,

"The Fox" is back to 1080p on HBO Direct website now with last nights 4/28/23 software update. (see attached)

One day turnaround.

SFab 6.1.2.0 Beta is still 720p on the attached files, when I logged into Chrome Browser, Re-launched SFab, downloaded same 3 files.
