Tried Transformers Rise of the Beast, and all the Star Trek series. The movie brings up a series dialog with no episodes available, so greyed out "Add to queue". The shows bring up no Streamfab dialog box at all.

Confirmed (at least for Transformers but I don't doubt it is the same for Star Trek). It appears that Paramount has very recently changed their ad policy and it might be screwing up StreamFab. I have an Essential w/ SHOWTIME® account for which I would normally see a 1 ad pre-roll on some shows (and zero on others). Now, with Transformers I see that I am forced to watch five 30-second pre-roll ads before the opening credits begin. There is no way that SF could have expected such greed. I guess they (meaning Paramount+) figure they aren't making enough money off the $7.99 deal I signed up for last year and are throwing as many ads at me as they can to make up for it. This double dipping of subscription fees and ads (or paying $11.99 per month in Paramount's case for ad-free service) will be the death of streaming and in turn StreamFab. I have no doubt that the SF developer will soon figure out this dialog box problem but more problems related to streamer greed will follow. Just be patient and a fix for this particular problem will follow, probably with the next update.

I did try rolling back to StreamFab 6.1, but that didn't work either. So I agree this looks like a Paramount+ change, not a SF 6.1.5.0 change.

I was forced to get the ad free plan bc someone in this household watches the local CBS channel during the days so I have not seen the issue.

Yes, ad free expenses are getting ridiculous. Hulu, Disney, Netflix jacked up their ad free plans, Prime video is going to charge extra. The ad based plan that comes with Walmart+ memberships is ridiculously loaded with ads.

The competition recommends ad free plans for just about everything, but then again, their program chokes if an unexpected popup window appears, which in a way, is a way to break the program.

6.1.5.1 restored movie ripping with the ad-supported version of Paramount+. Not working for TV series yet though. But still, that's great turn around time, especially for a holiday week! Thanks StreamFab team!
