Downloading from MAX

[Sparhawk]

6.1.2.7. the version does not have HBO MAX, only HBO NOW + HBO EUROPE module is still there, but they cannot be used to download in the Nordics, HBO MAX will not become MAX until 2024, had to re-install 6.1.2.6, then it works to download, optimal is to keep the HBO MAX module also in 6.1.2.7

its not like it can download from hbo max better quality then 720p, so its useless anyway

Honestly this is a new low.

This is a company asking US$250+ for the "All-in-One" version of their downloading software and yet, they are not aware that HBO Max will not become Max everywhere at the same time.

Like WTF??? I connected to a Finland VPN, Argentina VPN, and Brazil VPN but no HBO Max module. Even going to the HBO Max site manually, you cannot download anything because it doesn't analyze anything.

I don't know how many Non-US users StreamFab has but how do you drop the ball like this???

Sigh...

Thanks, I used H265 and HDR10. Let me try it again. Appreciated. Some codecs just do not work.

EDIT - It doesn't work in .mp4, it does however work in .mkv. I have my whole collection in .mp4 but it doesn't make any difference.

I figured out a workaround for MAX. All I did was for example I searched for the show Friends, clicked the 3 dots and clicked more info. Once I did that it analyzed all just fine. I picked the episodes I wanted in H265 and clicked on download now. Don't click add to queue or it won't work.

Isn't the native format mp4? If the user selects mkv it downloads the mp4 and then remuxes it.

Try to download Burden of Proof Season 1 episode 3 or 4 in .mp4, then you will understand my issue.

Yup. Can't believe they REPLACED HBOMax downloader with MAX since MAX has only launched in select regions, and HBOMax is still available everywhere else.
I would have thought they would have kept HBOMax downloader and just added MAX downloader as a new module, then removed HBOMax when MAX is available everywhere.

And I assume HBONow and HBO Europe will go away from SF after those areas have been convert to Max?
