The developer is stuck with the latest version

[theresay]

Why are they wasting time to fix a minor problem on a module that will soon be obsolete? Funimation is closing in April! If they must "fix something" to show they are working on it it should be Crunchyroll.

Not confusing at all. Amazon is download mode, meaning the way we've done it all along before the DRM change. In other words, they are saying Amazon is totally fixed. You'll have to determine whether that is true or not because I refuse to use any update that uses re-encoding mode with any streamer, even one that I'm not presently subscribed to, which is the case with Netflix.

Still re-encodes for me. That is also how I interpreted the change log (i.e., as an audio only fix)

Did you delete the contents of your temp folder and use a "professional" uninstaller program to remove all traces of a previous version of StreamFab, including registry entries, before installing 6.1.7.0? If so, attach your StreamFab.log.

Yes i uninstalled streamfab (with professional uninstaller) and downloaded full version of 6.1.7.0 and tried downloading. When i initially selected a movie, it showed as vbr and cbr options ( Cbr file size is aroung 8 gb). i selected cbr and started download. download started and automatically changed to 5.3 gb ( looks like VBR) . i cancelled the download and selected the movie again. not it showed only vbr ( there is no cbr option)
I have attached the logs

Just downloading something which re encoded before . 6.1.7.0 still re-encodes it.

Are you saying that Amazon is still re-encoding with 6.1.7.0?

Really ? The Changelog is somewhat confusingly written.

For Netflix now clearly says re-encode, but Amazon says download mode.

Is Amazon also only re-encode, as in the test version?

Ok, that's a Shame.

Apparently SF can't get it right any more.

That's sucks.

And just an hour or so ago, we got the latest update ---
And so I'm made to look like an asshole because I reported the previous news that Netflix was ready to go.

Here I shall take issue with your self recrimination Cats4U, you did not state that Netflix was ready to go, you merely reported what was told to you, "..the latest is that you can expect a true working download version (not re-encoding) of Netflix shortly.." The key word being 'shortly'. That does not infer anything other than it would be forthcoming in the near future, not a definite 'ready to go'. I obviously questioned, not yourself, but the information given to you, as I previously indicated, if they had more or less fixed the more difficult of the DRM issues -Netflix, but remained struggling with the easier of the two, Amazon, something didn't sound right. And as we have now seen, if it doesn't sound right, it usually isn't. The fault is not yours.

Fascinating. I was always under the assumption (by what others have alluded to on this forum, alongside that of the "competitor" and their banner) that the Netflix issue was a lot tougher to crack than Amazon's DRM, yet a true working download version (not re-encoding) of Netflix is literally on the horizon -apparently, but Amazon's DRM remains 'unfixed'. And that was easier to crack! Hmmmmmm. Perhaps, just perhaps, when asking about the next SF update "what's about to happen?", the response might be as Bowman would say, "something wonderful!" Meaning Amazon's been fixed too. God, I hope so. After all, Easter is about resurrection...

And just an hour or so ago, we got the latest update ---

for the Netflix download mode, has a little problem this week

And so I'm made to look like an asshole because I reported the previous news that Netflix was ready to go. To his credit, Jack was all over Wilson. It was a thing of beauty! I wish I had permission to post it here, but I don't like reposting other people's conversations without their permission. I, actually, felt bad for Wilson. Because of the nonsensical way that DVDFab is run, although Wilson is the Project Manager and boss over the Developers, it seems the Developers call the shots and decide the direction of the program. Wilson has become, for better or worse, just a liaison to Jack and me, and a PR man to everyone else. And the worst part of that is that Wilson has a limited English vocabulary, and so there is often confusion in the details to the point where we simply aren't getting any details. In the beginning of Jack and I being "Influencers" (I still don't know who they wanted us to influence, DVDFab or StreamFab users) we had a very friendly lady from Marketing acting as translator. In a short time, Jack made amazing progress in getting his ideas across to them, and the Developers started working on them. Since I couldn't make up my mind whether to be an "Influencer" and Moderator, getting my ideas to them, when I finally joined up, were late in arriving and nothing was done about them. At almost the same time that I joined up, the translator went back to Marketing and the conversations dried up.

I learned far more about Apache, MySQL, CMS, scripting and coding HTML by figuring out how the "other guy" did it than I did by any other means.

[littlebluealien]

The latest is that you can expect a true working download version (not re-encoding) of Netflix shortly. No other details have been given about the Netflix update. No information about Amazon, Peacock, and the other non-working streamers were mentioned.
