    StreamFab v6.1.3.4: APV Bitrate Guessing Still Flawed

    Sigh...

    I don't want to say i told you so but, i told you so.

    You cannot guess what i want. Period. End of sentence.

    Scanned Episode 1 and chose the 9000kbps:

    Scanned Episodes Individually and chose based on file size and runtime:

    Like i have said before several times, the reported bitrate names/labels are completely wrong. They used to be somewhat accurate but not anymore.

    I am assuming the "logic" implemented looks at the label to determine the closest bitrate but Amazon will label something 9000kbps when it is actually 1831kbps.

    Episode 1, 9000kbps gives us a video size of ​633 MB @ 1831kbps
    Episode 2, 9000kbps gives us a video size of 1.42GB @ 3962kbps
    Episode 3, 9000kbps gives us a video size of ​617 MB @ 1842kbps
    Episode 4, 9000kbps gives us a video size of ​777 MB @ 2274kbps
    Episode 5, 9000kbps gives us a video size of ​537 MB @ 1654kbps
    Episode 6, 9000kbps gives us a video size of ​579 MB @ 1456kbps

    In order to get Episode 2 at a size more consistent with the others, i had to choose 4000kbps which gave a video size of 546 MB @ 1483kbps.

    That means if the devs insist on implementing this "feature", they need to use the file size instead of the bitrate unless they can get the REAL bitrate.

    But then this opens the door to have another issue: What if all episodes are 45 minutes and you have 2 of them that are 90 minutes? You can rely on the size and you can't rely on the current bitrates. What is gonna happen then?

    This won't be an issue if you give us what we are clamoring for: Individual Episode Analysis inside StreamFab.

    This becoming comical. Only i am not laughing.

    Hi,

    We will also improve for the bitrate selection logic with the real video bitrate in next week.

    And we will re-consider to support to analyze the individual episode / season when downloading the TV Show.

        Please try the test version, support to show the real video bitrate after analyze the video.

        And also please check the bitrate problem when downloading the TV Show.

          I see no difference in the bitrate displayed after analysis.

          When i run the setup, it says 6.1.3.6 but when i run it, i see 6.1.3.5.

          I uninstalled then re-installed and still the same. I see no difference with 6.1.3.5.

            There is no difference, maybe someone in development can enlighten me.

              Edit the file I downloaded from above regresses from 6.1.3.5 to 6.1.2.0. Can someone explain this?

                  Great job by the devs with calculating the bitrate. It helps a lot in choosing what to download.

                  The guessing is now also much better since you are getting the "real" bitrate rather than the generic label provided by Amazon.

                  Still, i hope you guys give us the individual episode analysis and then port all that goodness from the Amazon module to the other major modules like Netflix, Hulu, Max and Disney
