Peacock Broken

[flylow+]

Peacock stopped downloading Olympics today. I uninstalled everything, deleted the AppData folder, and then installed 6.1.91. It is now downloading a file that failed multiple times after trying all the other methods mentioned in this post. So far, have only tried a single file, but that is better than before. I used RevoUninstaller to do the uninstall and reinstall.

Uninstalling using Revo Uninstaller Pro 5.3.0, registered to me, did not resolve the issues I have been experiencing. Every once in awhile a show will successfully download for me no matter what.The back to the fail issue.

deleted C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Roaming\DVDFab\StreamFab\t askdata\metaData

I've deleted just that file too and the issue remained with or without a complete uninstall.

Will those that try it kindly report back and post if it worked for them?

I've used a VPN, and I've deleted C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Roaming\DVDFab\StreamFab\t askdata\metaData (you don't need to delete the entire StreamFab folder). Both have worked, but both are inconsistent. It seems to work for me if I VPN into Boston. Other locations tend to fail. Don't know why. As for the AppData solution, it seems to work most times, but not every time. I'm holding out for StreamFab's next version.

Did you uninstall streamfab first then delete the folder then re install

Before, after - twice. And then again using Revo uninstaller. Tried reinstalling multiple times with various versions - 6188, 6189 and 6192. Even installed on a second computer that Streamfab had never been installed on so it had no Streamfab folder in %APPDATA%\dvdfab to uninstall. No luck.

Deleting the Streamfab folder in %APPDATA%\dvdfab is no doubt worth a try but it may not solve the issue as it did not for me. Good luck to those that try it. If it works for you I suggest not updating to the next release until after others report if the new release solved the issue.

I wouldn't use a vpn use a smart dns proxy server instead

I am not and never have used a VPN. Was working in previous versions but now no longer is even if I uninstall and install older versions. Deleting the Streamfab folder in %APPDATA%\dvdfab did not solve the issue. Uninstalling using Revo Uninstaller and having it delete leftovers did not help. Also tried to use Ccleaner to clean the registry after using Revo Uninstaller and the issue persisted.


For what it's worth, Streamfab support replied to my support ticket and said that have recorded the problem and they will solve the problem as soon as possible. Their recommendation is to wait for a new version that resolves the issue.

In the meanwhile TV shows, but not movies, from Peacock generally will fail for me. Every now and then a TV show that failed will successfully download.

I went to %APPDATA%\dvdfab and deleted the stream fab folder twice and issue still existed so I tried again and the issue again still was not resolved.

Well it has worked for everyone else who has tried it that is the only way I got it to work again. Nothing fails either

Uninstall Streamfab then naviagate %APPDATA%\dvdfab and delete the stream fab folder I have heard just deleting the taskdata without unistalling will work also but then reinstall and all will work again it all started when they changed there settings I have zero issues with peacock and no vpn ever

Does not work for me here in the US. No, and never have, used VPN. Same fails when I installed Streamfab on a second computer that Streamfab had never been installed on. Peacock movies download fine, various/many/all TV shows fail though every now and then at random one or two will successfully download.

Version 6192x64 Windows 11 and Windows 10 on the second computer. Also tried with reinstalling 6189 and 6188. IIRC issue begin with 6190.

For what it's worth, support said that have recorded the problem and they will solve the problem as soon as possible. Their recommendation is to wait for a new version that resolves the issue.

Trying to download Season 13 Episode 19 of real hosuewives of beverly hills and it keeps failing. Tried another episode of a show and it didnt work either.

It's broken for me too. Starts out "Analyzing", then switches to "Downloading Audio", switches briefly to "Downloading Video" and then I get "Failed". Tried it with and without VPN and tried multiple locations throughout the United States from Buffalo, to Dallas, to Miami and finally San Francisco all acted the same way. Without the VPN on, it also did the same way so I deleted cache and tried it again still to no avail.

Same issue here with various peacock shows. Movies download without issue. Deleting log and temp files does not help. Uninstalled several times and reinstalled older versions - same issue.

Even installed on a second computer that streamfab had never been installed on and still the same issue.

Hopefully it will be resolved in the next update.

Just a little comment on that... It would be pretty stupid of them to be making changes during the Olympics, probably the biggest moneymaker they've had since Peacock started. As far as I've seen, this hasn't affected actual viewing.

Well I can only say they did, as confirmed when I tried another program to get episodes from Peacock, it did not work at all. Something was changed. When that was, who knows.
Just also shows again that other programs also are not always kept up to date and fully working.
And the server replied: Not Found may not have been planned, but that's the error in streamfab.log from Peacock.

It's only certain stuff, not all, so just have to wait and see.
