The DVDFab Office will be closed for a few days (10.01~10.07) to celebrate the National Day holidays. This may cause some delays if you have an outstanding support ticket during this time, however, automated functions like purchases and the forum are still running.
Thanks for your understanding and patience and will get back to you after the holidays.
Is 540p the best resolution we can download from Netflix at this time?
Since mid Oct 2023 NF only offers 540p for Sony and Universal Movies, if Widevine
Software Decryption is used. Better quality is only with Hardware Decryption.
NF own Production are not affected (FullHD or more - depending on the subscription)
Has StreamFab given any indication whether that limitation is ever going to change from anything developed from their end?
No, they haven't. Plenty of other people are trying to work on it as well. This is a Netflix/Sony/Universal-caused issue, not a StreamFab one. In my research, I came across this... https://github.com/CastagnaIT/plugin...ix/issues/1509 They thought they had it figured out in the beginning, and then it all fell apart.
@efk3: Play a affected title in Chrome, Brave or Firefox and press ctrl+alt+shift+d
You will see there is only 540p - more can't be downloaded:
Edge can playing 1080p using PlayReady (if HDCP conform, i.e. no 2nd Monitor) ..
.. but playing does not automatically mean being able to decode (getting Keys) !

efk3 high jacked this Theard, if said wanted more responses would have said to open up a new thread for more responses on that topic. Germania pretty much answered noted question, if it was understood what was said. But do agree with both responses and this is not a StreamFab issue, it only seems so bad because just about everything you download from it now is 960p x 540p, I'm getting some as bad as 480p other than as noted Netfilx productions. Like to add that Streamfab was late from other streaming services for this 540p downloads, but it caught up with them.

This thread, should have/probably would have been closed and locked after TheGoof wrote
Thanks, that worked.
had jpp72 not been ill and absent over the Holidays. He and the Staff are the only ones with that ability, and I don't remember the Staff ever doing that over the years.

So the providers only need to use the Widevine to lock everyone out basically?

So much for a hijacked thread ..
.. I'm afraid I don't understand the question.
NF used Widevine since years, but earlier they offer 720p for everyone,
if the Widevine version in the Browser isn't too old and no analog Video Grabber is connected.
After that, Widevine (L3) could only be used for 540p (L1: 720p), but SD doesn't mean "lock all"
