6.1.6.6 Still Not Downloading HD from Amazon

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.

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.

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

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 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.

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!
