6.1.6.6 Still Not Downloading HD from Amazon

[NewMelle]

Any updates or progress? With the current 540p limitation I'm not too concerned with other issues (voice audio/bitrate) at the moment so the banner is a helpful time saver. Been checking daily for an update. The hard work is appreciated!

StreamFab will not be post-processing to achieve the audio boost.
Amazon has started to offering several audio tracks, each with a "different boost"

I didn't know that until now, because I hardly use the provider at the moment
due to the lack of current HD. This of course puts my statement into perspective.

Then it would have been enough to specify this in the audio selection dialog.

with the Dialogue Boost Audio for Amazon, you are stuck with the same boost forever.

My suggestion to people would be to download the unaltered audio track and the boosted audio track. Or even Normal, Low, Medium and High boost if available. Then you have all options. In time, you can decide which level you prefer and only download that one along with the original audio

I don't like the SF post-processing in general
- and it's one more potential source of error

I use a soundbar with dialog boost, which I guess is the same idea as the Chrome extension. It's not great, but works with live TV and streaming without messing with any files.

I don't need that with Streamfab.

It's a filter that boosts the frequencies of the human voice so you can understand the dialog better. According to Google's Generative AI -
The fundamental frequency of human speech, also known as the pitch or f0, is typically between 85-155 Hz for men and 165-255 Hz for women. The fundamental frequency of a child's voice is around 300 Hz.
I have a Chrome extension that I use primarily on my Chromebook while watching videos. I think I like the idea of using the extension better because you can adjust it live as needed. Whereas, with the Dialogue Boost Audio for Amazon, you are stuck with the same boost forever.

OK, thanks, I understand. We also have that in Germany. The television companies upload two videos into their media libraries, one with and one without... I don't need that with Streamfab.

What does the Cats4U say, jpp72 or Germania ? What could that be:

New: Add support to download Dialogue Boost Audio from Amazon Prime Video​

A legitimate question that also occurred to me.

It's been a month and there's still no useful progress for Netflix. I will continue to wait. And if possible, please ask the developer to temporarily download netflix in 360p or something, because I just need to get the dubbed audio. Thanks!

Sorry, but the developers are supposed to waste their time on this?

When downloading, the bitrate is provided by the streamer, so you usually get some random numbers like 2386kbps. When encoding, the bitrate is provided by Streamfab, so you get whole numbers like 15000kbps, 8000kbps, etc.

Anyway, the episodes in question still won't download in 1080p, even though it was offered in parsing. Some other movies I tried also would only download in lower resolution. Looks like whatever titles, even older ones, that would not download before is still not downloadalbe, at least in HD

That is categorically false. The round numbers are just labels and not the actual bitrate. We lobbied StreamFab to give us real approximate bitrates and it has been like that since v6.1.3.6 that was released 2023-08-24



IF you are seeing round numbers, my guess would be StreamFab cannot access that video or you are using a Codec and Bitrate type that is not available.

Please provide us with the details of the media you are trying to download that gives you these round numbers so we can see for ourselves.

As for the dropdown showing you that it is available in 1080p so why can't it download it, that is because the MPD file contains all that info and you do not need decryption keys to read that info. It's just an XML file. So just because it shows you it is available in 1080p, it won't download it at that resolution if StreamFab can't get the keys for it.

EDIT: I didn't notice this was already addressed by Cats4U before replying

Why not check before posting?

"streamfab unveils fixes for download issues" sounds pretty clear even if it's not really accurate.

That makes it even sadder that they didn't run that by the two Mods in this forum before sending it out.

[phelings]

Nothing like that exists, doesn't it make sense that you and Jack would be the first to know about this, and why haven't they put out this fix if it even exists at all? More misinformation.
