Timing of DRM issue...

[Cats4U]

There is no known ETA. It will be fixed when it is fixed. The Developers are still working aggressively on it.

Cats4U Hey, what's the current status with the Developers regarding the DRM change?

Can we expect an Update soon?

If we're lucky, still in February...

Why is Streamfab not implementing PlayReady, this works much better and gives 4K HDR on the services that support it like APTV, AMZN, DSNP, HMAX......

If streamfab is not able to use Widevine L1 how do you expect them to be able to do PlayReady when that is much more difficult and there is no public info like there is with Widevine.

Anyone who says streamfab can't use Widevine L1? As far as I know, you need this for 1080p...

By the way, the DRM has nothing to do with the resolution. If Amazon didn't have DRM, the download would be a maximum of 1080p.

Chrome CDM gets you 1080p on NF and AMZ above 1080p you need L1.
Disney+ 1080p and above is L1 (StreamFab is using cached keys for 1080p)
Apple TV above SD is L1.

You can't get more than 1080p from Amazon via the browser because there isn't more. They don't want that. You would have to fool Amazon into thinking it was a Smart TV...

Ok, things look a little better on Netflix!

There is no ETA to resolve this problem. Our competitor is also going through this as well, but you wouldn't really know it because, as usual, they are maintaining radio silence. They hate to let out anything that makes them look bad.

Back when there was a 2-week warning on a previous change, I recall someone over at the other site getting in trouble for even mentioning the term "widevine". They acted like it was suddenly going to force unneeded attention and shut them down.

It not that difficult as i already seen a program that uses Widevine and PR together, it's more the time, energy and priority you want to put in to get something working.

There is definitely more it's just the key/DRM that is used that wil release the eccess of that max resolution they have, getting 4K DV+DDPA from AMZN through broswer as the same for DSNP, APTV, etc., is possible.

That is just like asking a safecracker how much longer, LOL.
