Peacock Broken

[flylow+]

What title are you trying to get ? Everything seems to work for me.

Rather than me reposting the same info over again you might want to read my post 74 https://forum.dvdfab.cn/forum/softwa...931#post447931 and Cats4U post 77 https://forum.dvdfab.cn/forum/softwa...943#post447943

Morning Joe_S2024E161_August 12, 2024 failed about 6 times before it was finally successfully downloaded.

Update: All have NOT succeeded. Just the first few succeeded.

Multiple tries of installing after deleting the Log, Temp and AppData\Roaming\DVDFab did not resolve the issue for me. Tried numerous times with and without using Revo Uninstaller with no luck. IIRC the issue first began after installing 6.1.9.0.

If you are brave you might try uninstalling and reinstalling again to see what happens.

Wisconsin I dont doubt you and your issues at all the program in finiky I was just stating that the issues completely disappeared after fresh install and removing the appdata and have not come back for me

My DNS is based on my router setting. I've tried different DNS servers with no change. Releasing and renewing between each change of server. As I said before, I have no reason to believe that VPNing to Boston (MIT or Harvard) should work for anyone else. I don't even understand why it works for me, but it does every time. This has gone on for almost 100 posts here on this forum. I think it's time that Wilson and the Developer release a mid-week emergency update. This once a week crap is ridiculous. AnyStream released updates as they were fixed, not holding on to them as an end of the week weekly release and then disappearing into the weekend.

I was going to post that, I am sure you (Cats4U) tried all the usual tricks.
I also did a full uninstall and install again, along with clearing all settings, and it's mostly shows with episodes.
I was trying the on patrol shows, and I also tried what other users posted issues with from the shows from msnbc.

I never got to post, but only two things worked so far. Get a vpn running and try different locations, I have one that gets from US Washington DC and peacock works. And a few other locations.
New Jersey, New York, and Miami no go, I tried so many locations that I can't recall them all.
The other option is too much work because after each download you have to do it again.
On a Windows computer open a command prompt (as Admin) do an ipconfig /flushdns and then ONE download will work then next one will fail then have to repeat.
Some I am thinking don't have access to vpn's and there are many, I don't have access to windscribe but do a few others. Boston worked with one, but not another.

I have to agree it's possibly something with Peacock and the CDNs although when you go into a browser the shows play with no trouble.
And Streamfab logs fill with server not found or similar messages. So it's also possibly a problem when SF analyzes before downloading, that it does not get the info like a browser does.

ADDED: I also tried 3 different DNS server settings for Windows. OpenDNS, Cloudflare & Google, along with the default Xfinity assigned DNS.

I am in the us and I download all the time from peacock I used to have the same issue until I deleted the appdata from stream fab and reinstalled it since then zero issues

Where in the US? New England?
As I wrote before, I tried the appdata trick, and it worked two times after, but has failed every time since. I also do a full clean uninstall/install with every new version. The professional uninstall removes the appdata information completely, but peacock failed the first time I did a clean uninstall/install to 6.1.9.3. I'm happy that you have found a method to make it work, but it does not work for everybody, just like the VPN to Boston works for me but only for one other person.
Without doing any tricks I tested downloading 3 episodes of Those About To Die, E01, E05, E10. The only episode that downloaded was E05. I tried the regular tricks and they didn't work. I was only able to download using my VPN to Boston trick. I firmly believe that this is a communication problem with most Peacock CDNs.

[remmy90]

Are you in the US and on 6.1.9.3?

Try again later or maybe everyday for awhile and see if you have any issues.

Currently for me sometimes they download fine, other times it takes a few tries and then, most often, the download still fails after several tries. I notice if the progress bar starts out as green right away while it says audio on the right by the pause and "X" (cancel) then the download will be successful.

just tried episode 10 of Those about to Die and it failed twice then downloaded successfully on the 3rd try.

Hopefully in a future update somewhere in the near future they'll get it figured out. In the meantime Hulu, Pluto, Amazon, Paramount+ and Tubi have all been working without issue for me.

I definitely would not bet if a download is successful or not...

I appreciate the feedback from flylow+ it was very helpful. However, I decided to do a clean install using the SF 6193 x64 downloader on a different computer. With the new install I was able to download from Peacock some files but on the others I experienced the same problem as before on my previous install. SF would download the media file then fail when starting processing phase. Currently I'm able to download about 50% of the show/movies I've tried. There is no apparent pattern to the failures that I can see.

And yes, I'm in the USA and not using a VPN

I've tried installing 6.1.92 on a Windows 10 laptop that it had never been installed on before and experienced the same issue with a lot if failed downloads.

All I can think of to do is to keep my fingers crossed in hopes that they'll resolve the issues with Peacock soon. Most definitely, IMO, a known issue.

I had no issues downloading morning Joe or those about to die

Cats4U Have you tried Those About to Die in the latest version? I have used your method of uninstalling StreamFab and I also installed the latest secondary programs you suggest too but I am still having issues downloading that program. It starts the download at a very slow speed (B/s) and does get up to KB/s but then eventually fails. I can then go to another Peacock program, Poker Face, and download at normal fast speeds (MB/s). Not sure what the issue is.
Thanks,
Chuck

It looks like doing a clean installation isn't going to make a difference. Peacock is just broken. Yes, the download is slow, but note that the percentage and the segments downloaded remain at zero. I had three good downloads after 6.1.9.3 came out, but now all downloads fail again unless I do my VPN to Boston trick, which only seems to have worked for one other person.

[Cats4U]

download works if you go to https://www.msnbc.com/ and then Morning joe and click the orange m3u8 button and
the video will download.

Thanks for the tip, but that doesn't take away from the fact that Peacock is still broken. I just tried to get On Patrol: Live S03E09 -- no good. I got the 0% and 0 segment again. I finally got it doing my VPN to Boston trick. I don't know which has me more baffled, why it is not downloading regularly or why it works when I VPN to Boston.
