I know I said I wasn't posting on this board anymore..... but of course I still have to read it to find out the status of the DRM fixes..... if and when they ever come.....
But I keep reading these posts about re-encoding..... and not being able to stream older 1080p videos..... and Netflix not working at all..... and I decided I'm going to submit this post and you can do with it what you will.....
Understand..... what I'm about to say has basically already been said by Cats4U ..... all I'm doing here is saying it in more detail..... but for the life of me I don't know why you all just haven't followed his advice.....
For me..... the Windows version of StreamFab 6.1.6.7 x64 is what I'm staying with until the DRM gets fixed..... and I mean really fixed with no re-encoding.....
Windows StreamFab 6.1.6.7 x64 gives me the following results..... WITH NO RE-ENCODING.....
For AMAZON..... 6.1.6.7 allows me to get a video at 1080p if it was acquired prior to the DRM change..... and if the video was acquired after the DRM change..... it will give me 540p..... or sometimes 480p..... but the lower resolution signals me that the video is being affected by the DRM change..... It should also be noted that I get my MAX through Amazon and the results are the same as I just stated.....
For NETFLIX..... 6.1.6.7 allows me to get a video at 1080p if it was acquired prior to the DRM change..... and if the video was acquired after the DRM change..... it will give me a "failed" during analysis after 4 or 5 passes of the "green bar"..... which is telling me that the video is being affected by the DRM change.....
For PEACOCK..... 6.1.6.7 allows me to get a video at 1080p if it was acquired prior to the DRM change..... and if the video was acquired after the DRM change..... it will endlessly analyze..... and if you click on "Home"..... you'll see the infamous "Orangey the Cat"..... which of course is telling me that the video is being affected by the DRM change.....
Everything else seems to be working as it should as shown in the Banner up top..... with the exception of PLUTO which just endlessly analyzes..... I haven't reported it as a problem because I don't want to muddy the waters and give the developer something he can use as low hanging fruit when his time should be being devoted 24/7 to fixing the DRM shortfalls.....
I have tried 6.1.6.8..... 6.1.6.9..... and the Test Version..... whatever number that's supposed to be..... and I'm not wasting my time on what they do or don't do because they all include forms of re-encoding with varying results..... and inhibit some or all of the ability to get videos that were acquired prior to the DRM change from being downloaded in 1080p.....
Let me again state..... these are the results I get on my laptop using StreamFab 6.1.6.7 x64..... running the most current Windows 10 version..... I'm in Northern Virginia..... using Verizon FIOS gigabyte..... and I don't use a VPN.....
There you have it.
If you decide to download it..... follow all the recommendations as far as doing a complete uninstall first.
