What do you mean by "more streamers are adapting the DASH MPD format that is killing the app"?
There are plenty of dedicated modules that are working and the streamers are using MPEG-DASH MPD.
The MPD file just tells the player what resolutions, bitrates, subtitles are available and how they are split and other info on how to deliver the assets to the user.
It has nothing to do with the protection/DRM.
The only concern for me with MPEG-DASH is that the devs at StreamFab can't seem to understand that DASH subtitles come in a .mp4 format and there is a simple way of converting those to WebVTT, TTML, or SRT.
Discovery+ switched to DASH like a year ago and StreamFab still doesn't download the subtitles even though i gave step by step instructions on how to do it several times.
Maybe if this is the case with the new Max module, they will finally implement that since i assume there will be way more people using it so more complaints and the inevitable "works with the competitor" comments

The developers here said next week, about a few days ago, I am waiting patiently. Give these guys a chance it's not easy, I really hope they get it going again, it's tough not having 1080p in MAX or any resolution because the module doesn't work at all. I understand everyone's frustration, but in these types of programs, it is not easy just to write new code. I think and I'm not sure, but it's a whole new DRM.Programmer in Python, Java, JavaScript, Swift, PHP, SQL, C#, C++, Go, R

I hope for 1080p/H265 but there is no way to know if that will be the case. In the meantime, i will continue to use my Max Amazon Prime Channel but the varying bitrates is very annoying for someone that is borderline OC like me.
So far, i have seen 3 Max-tagged movies and a dozen TV episodes released on the scene in 1080p so it's promising but i won't hold my breath since we all know the state of 1080p in the old HBO Max module.

Happy to report that 6.1.2.7 is out, and it includes a Max downloader. Downloads appear limited to 720p, but that's fine for now. However, I'm getting quite a few repeated failures. Anyone have success downloading Barry, S4E8, X-Men: Days of Future Past, Grease, or The Hurt Locker? It allowed me to download 11 titles out of 20 before failing on everything else. Any chance that in the changeover to Max they've put new limits on the number of downloads?
