No HD or 4K

[KidJoe]

This wasn't listed in the changelog for 6.1.8.3, but In limited testing, I had some good 4K/Atmos downloads. Thanks for the surprise fix.

was it newer content? like Dune Part 2? or older content like Blue Beetle?

Sorry, it was older. Dune Part 2 is 720p for me.

You can Subscribe to max via Amazon and get 1080p least but no 4k

Correct. If available in your geography, you can subscribe to Max as an Amazon Prime channel and download content up to 1080p. A few stipulations:

1. If you subscribe to Max via Amazon Prime Channels, you can also use the Max web site, app and StreamFab Max downloader, in addition to Amazon/Amazon Downloader, which is nice.
2. Max as a Prime Channel isn't available everywhere
3. There is often a delay in content hitting Max Prime Channel compared to Max directly. For example, Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon is on Max directly, but not yet available via Max as Prime Channel. There was a delay with Dune Part 2 as well.
4. If you have Max bundled as part of another subscription, such as with Cable TV plan, or perk on wireless or other internet plan, you can't download Max content from Amazon or otherwise use Max as Prime Channel. You'd have to also subscribe to Max as Prime Channel separately, meaning a separate/additional charge. Not every one wants to pay for Max twice.
5. If you want any 4K content, Max as Prime Channel will not deliver that.
6. Max content downloaded using the Amazon Downloader from the Prime Channel, often looks better and has higher bit rate audio and video, than downing directly via Max and the Max downloader.

Until recently, #4 was a barrier to me. Max was included in the price of my cable provider's plan, so I didn't want to pay the addition $$ per month to also subscribe to the Amazon Prime Channel and use the Amazon downloader. When we re-did our cable plan, we got rid of all pay channels via cable, and I'm subscribing to them via Amazon Prime Channels now.

#5 is the biggest the reason I still use the Max Downloader module and I'm still interested in it. While not as good as 4K Disc, the 4K HDR/DV downloads look a little better than the 1080p downloads, plus usually include DD+ w/Atmos (EAC3-JOC) audio which, on my 5.1.4 system sounds a little more immersive (although again, not as good as the lossless TrueHD w/Atmos on 4K Disc)

Re: #3, I can wait a few days for it to show up on Amazon Channel if I can't download as 1080p via Max directly.

For me, #1 and #6 are the biggest reasons to subscribe to Max as a Prime Channel

For those of you that have been subbed to the Amazon Max Channel for a while, you may be eligible for a half price discount for 6 months.

When the Amazon downloader was still borked, i decided to cancel the channel and sub to it via Hulu so i could download 1080p for newer stuff.

When i tried to cancel it, they offered me to pay $7.99/month for 6 months. So i chose that rather than cancelling outright.

Turns out, the Max addon on Hulu has less Max/HBO stuff than Amazon (Hacks being one show unavailable on Hulu's Max add-on) so i will now be cancelling the Hulu add-on

So now you are going to Max though Amazon or Max default provider?

I currently do both. Max for older movies in 4k and everything else through Amazon.

I can't help but notice the banner has been updated to say:

Max: Confirmed, 4K/1080p still can not be downloaded with the new DRM fix solution.

[Sebastian001]

By the way, we're now done with the DRM crap except for "Max 2160p". Will the rest of the modules work again? I've lost track!
