I cant download anything from Netflix

This is not necessarily true. The competitor can download everything from Netflix, even brand new videos, that Fab cannot. What they can't do is download them in FHD and neither can StreamFab. So saying they can't download Netflix videos is not true.

The reason why the competitor is so far ahead is that they installed the Widevine CDM 4.10.2710.0 back in October, when it first came out, and then started working on cracking it. I asked StreamFab's Project Manager to do the same in November and was told that the old CDM was good enough. I'm not here to blow my own horn, but this is not the first or only time when I've advised them of a fix that needed to be looked into and was ignored with disastrous consequences. The same has occurred with Jack occasionally.

afaik they use Playready L1 CDM API not chrome cdm and its far more complex to get it, also take in mind streamfab probably bought the chrome cdm method before and didn't crack themself. All these cracking stuff require lots of money or very high skills, or sometimes even both at same time
I have nothing against dvdfab or streamfab but you can clearly see the way how they are operating their business is odd, there is a ton of clones for streamfab software under differents names/websites but its the same company, Competitor don't act like that and seems more serious/professional on that part, also probably way less greedy.
But as we can see overall P2P and scene groups (always) are still ahead for the tools/API if you ask me compared to all these paid sofwares (as they can get 1080p netflix stuff), still 2160p netflix is very private atm even for them.

It makes no sense to mention the competitor's Name anyway.

Very good point. I lost track of which streamer we were talking about in this thread. Netflix seems to be a different animal this time around. The fact that it appears to have stumped the competitor's developers up to this point really has me a bit worried. They seem to be a very competent bunch of cyphers. If all the streamers follow Netflix's lead, there is definitely trouble ahead.

I would be interested in this bit of info, too (even privately). I am about to loose track on all the stuff that I need to DL again once SF is fully back to business.

At this point I have no confidence that will ever happen. Fully back to business I would think includes no re-encoding and all DRM fixed. I am convinced this will never occur.

I, personally, think it is rude to post a name of a competitor on one's own forum. I have done it, myself, on at least one occasion when angry, but I felt bad about it afterward and removed it. Please only do so via PM.

What competition are we talking about here?

I wonder how all the endless resellers are coping too, they don't even tell their customers on their websites what is going on, and many don't know they are just resellers.

I do notice that the competition hasn't got Netflix 1080p cracked yet though. All a bit worrying.

You blow that horn Cats4U -stupid is as stupid does! I refer of course to the Developers (and) clearly the arrogance of the Project Manager. Harsh? Nope, I call it as I see it. Maybe it's time for them to rearrange the deck chairs again . . .

[littlebluealien]

Maybe they should learn to listen and take advise instead of just thinking they got it. They obviously need help. There's nothing wrong with asking for help. They should tell themselves that.

As the old saying goes: 'pride comes before a fall'. How far do these Dev's need to plummet until they get that! Best they stock up on the cool whip -gotta lot of humble pie to eat...

I don't get why it's taking the developers so long to crack the DRM. The competitor is getting their releases out super fast. Do the developers here not know what they're doing anymore? That's what it seems like. I refuse to do the re-encoding method. The video looks like crap doing it that way. Can the developers at least tell us how far along they are in cracking the new DRM?

oops my failure - pm sent

Got no PM. I didn't bother even trying Damsel yet as it is newer content. I remember from the past when new stuff came out that different bitrate options opened up a few days after as well.
I don't need anything badly enough to go through the game of re-encodes either.
