HBOMax not Max not working

[zapt]

6.1.2.4 update is out. No fix yet.

If they get it working and that's a big "if", it will only be Max, all other countries will be out of luck if Max is not enabled in their country. Use Amazon Prime for Max, or HBOMax, that will work. But then again they will have to get Amazon Prime working properly also.

HBO Max works for me,they won't change to just MAX until 2024 in Scandinavia + other European countries, they haven't given an exact date yet. So HBO MAX + Discovery+ are separate.

Yes, my understanding is the change happened in the USA and US Territories/region. BUT not rest of world yet, that will happen in phases.

It will be interesting to see if FAB keeps the existing HBOMax downloader, and adds a MAX Downloader for those regions who have converted. OR if they change the current HBOMax downloader to be MAX (meaning those who haven't converted yet might be out of luck).

You were likely re-directed to the MAX web site. Using the "current" (maybe old soon??) HBOMax downloader in Streamfab doesn't work on MAX yet.

When I tried to log into HBOMax, it told me that MAX was here, re-directed me and logged me in. Using StreamFab, it takes me to the MAX page, and yes, it tries to download using MPD downloader and that doesn't work.

Now that the new MAX page is live, we need to wait for the developers to work on it and fix StreamFab so it works with Max. I have no idea how long that will take.

PS: You can subscribe to MAX via Amazon channels and download from StreamFab's Amazon downloader. You'll be able to also use those credentials to log into the MAX web site and app, so you'll be able to watch using the Max app on Roku/FireTV/AndroidTV and later download from Max if/when FAB fixes Streamfab.

Sounds like we will have to wait for an update to fix

I've tried clicking on two different items (movie and TV episode). Both try to add it to the queue using the DRM MPD downloader rather than the HBOMax or Max downloader. (I have only the three free trials on DRM MPD, but a lifetime subscription to the HBOMax downloader. Regardless, the DRM MPD downloader fails.) On Shazam!: Fury of the Gods, for example, the Cancel, Add to Queue, and Download Now dialog box refuses to exit after you click one of the buttons, and there is a failure dialog box behind it.) Selecting Add to Queue does add it to the queue, but then fails to download it ("Failure accessing video from the streaming website" error message).

The big issue appears to be that--although we're being successfully transferred to the MAX site and logged in by clicking the StreamFab HBOMax icon--the link to the correct downloader isn't happening and DRM MPD doesn't work.

Notes

1. If I perform the same action in Microsoft Edge, I'm transferred from HBOMax, automatically logged into the new MAX, and the same selected movies plays correctly in the browser.)
2. StreamFab should now have a separate Max icon to take us directly to the right site and downloader.

I am unable to download content from Max what was HBOMax after logging in using my credentials I am getting this error.

"The Video Stream detected is DASH MPD format, which is not supported by YouTube Plus downloader yet"

I did not select a YouTube Plus downloader I selected HBOMax and logged into my MAX using my HBOMax credentials
