h265 still broken on Hulu with version 6.2.0.0

[MrGrackle]

Hi,

Sorry for this to trouble to you.

Firstly, I can confirm that H264/H265 1080p and 4K videos can be downloaded with Hulu Basic plan. (Subscript Hulu directly from hulu.com)



But, I'm not sure that why the H265 videos can not be downloaded with the Disney+ Hulu Bundle Trio Premium subsciption. H264 video can be downloaded only.

The stream mpd file can not be downloaded.





Anyway, I will ask the dev to check it.

remmy90 travelar Please also tell me your Hulu subscription details, thanks!

I have a duo bundle as well. So the quick answer is to set up another account, but as basic only?
Thanks for that work around. Although I hope the dev can find what is different and adapt it to work correctly.

Yes, Hulu Basic with Ad plan is enough for downloading 1080p and 4K videos.

If it helps, I looked at the Stremfab Updates page, version 6193 worked correctly with the Hulu/Disney+ duo plan. 6194 broke it, your team recognized and fixed it for some people in 6196, but the rest of us remain broken even with 6202. 6194 said "Some improvements for the display of the analysis process" and this is where it broke things.
Getting a second Hulu account to get around this would not be the first choice. So getting the devs to look at what changed with 6194 might help fix this issue.

Thanks for the information, but h265 also can not be downloaded in the old version 6189 or 6193.

We will find the way that how to get the H265 stream files with the bundle subscription account.

The movies Carved (2024) and Mr. Crockett will offer an h265 stream, but it is the lowest bitrate 1080p h265 stream.

I would imagine there are some knowledgeable people writing the software... care to give them a nudge? Send them a "how to" guide?

[MrGrackle]

Wilson.Wang do we see any possible progress in getting the bundle pack manifests working?
Apparently a user on this thread posted that they can download titles manually, it is a rather 'simple' fix for someone that knows about this sort of thing.

[travelar]

Bump.

[MrGrackle]

Bump.

Agreed.
As remmy90 above says, no issues pulling them manually, so it's not very complicated to someone that does this sort of thing daily.

True Story. Hulu without ads is $18.99 a month. Disney Duo bundle which includes Disney+ (ad-free) is just $1 more a month.
You might ask, why do you want ad free, SF works fine with the basic plan?
Well, some of us actually *watch* it on their TVs.

[MrGrackle]

Just a heads up. Switching from the duo plan (billed by Disney) back to the basic plan billed by Hulu, you still get the same problem, no h265 and no 4K in many cases. So presumably once you switch to the duo plan, your account is forever associated with the alternate manifest method.
Deleting cache and logs does not fix the issue. I see zero point in reinstalling the program, that would have absolutely nothing to do with it.
One other negative side effect, the ability to force analyze individual episodes is also gone. Probably connected to the same issue.

Wilson.Wang as mentioned, remmy90 was able to see the correct manifest still, it is not hidden. Any chances of getting this fixed please?

Must be nice I have the ad free version of both Hulu and Disney+, and I can every so often get h265 to work, but NOTHING in 4K anymore and NOTHING what so ever in Disney+, I have never even seen the analyze box pop up on anything in Disney+, and that is on a brand new machine that had NEVER had SF on it before and the only thing I tried to use was Disney+.

My point was it seems the ad-supported tiers work so maybe switch to that and see. Unless of course you watch stuff and not just download. I don't actually watch stuff with ANY of my subscriptions. I download with SF and then watch the downloaded media so it would not make sense to have the ad-free versions.
