I use Amazon for Max because I was getting 1080p downloads through them. Recently, I downloaded an old television series, I had all the options up to 1080p but when the series downloaded it was at 720p just like it used to be through Max. Has anyone else had this problem?

If it was available in 1080p..... you'd get a 1080p download..... not to mention that any streaming service that you subscribe to through Amazon means that you now use the Amazon User Interface for that specific service as well..... and I'm sure everyone would agree that the Amazon User Interface is the absolute best.....
I could never understand why people who already had Amazon Prime didn't get their MAX subscription through Amazon to alleviate the 720p vice 1080p problem...... or for that matter..... any other streaming service that they use and is also offered by Amazon.....
To each his own I guess.....
By the way..... I am on 6.1.6.7 and am still getting 1080p for MAX movies through Amazon as long as the acquisition date is prior to the DRM change..... If not..... it gives me 540p or sometimes 480p..... No re-encoding..... but I've already described this in a post.Last edited by weavermovies; 03-23-2024, 01:58 PM.

1 - What version of StreamFab are you running?.....
2 - What is the name of the series..... to include the season?.....
3 - Have you ever downloaded the season of this series in 1080p in the past?.....

You can't just say I want to get rid of just Max to gain 1080p for downloading, you lose other services with your cable provider, it's a built-in bundle package.Programmer in Python, Java, JavaScript, Swift, PHP, SQL, C#, C++, Go, R

So if MAX is part of your cable package and you didn't want to settle for 720p downloads, or if you really wanted that missing content but 720p downloads wasn't acceptable for the rest - you ended up with two MAX subscriptions.
