The Steady Decline of Already Poor StreamFab Quality Control

[Germania]

Amazon

• All versions now Analyze Season1, Episode 1 only. This seems to be a server change. It renders the Click to Analyze button USELESS

I can confirm that episodes started with SF 6196/7 are no longer analyzed ..
.. but I can still turn them into a movie to determine the bitrate/audio/length

example: The Devil's Hour.s01e01




The Devil's Hour.s02e01



It's just a shame that you have to download each episode individually ..
.. but it's helpful to "just" get the information about a single episode
(multiple selections can then be made without the trick - if resolution/sound is same)

And how do you do that ?

[Germania]

And how do you do that ?

It's magic

I use both amazon_get_season*.py in StreamFab\script from version 6167

Amazon

• The pop-up download window shows the episode aired date instead of the runtime

If you are tired of waiting months for this to be fixed, then just fix it yourself. You have to edit one of the python scripts and change 1 character. 1 single character. Makes total sense that it would take months to fix...

Edit line 134 of the amazon_get_seasons_info.py file. Change the 1 to a 2.

That's it

So again... Change

runtime_str = divs[1].string

To

runtime_str = divs[2].string

I actually think it's worse than that. Not only the developers aren't power users, they are not users at all.

They program stuff but they don't personally use the tool to download stuff they want so they cannot catch the bugs. They cannot understand the usability issues cause they don't use it on a daily basis like we do.

This is why I was pushing for open beta testing some time back. However, if SF is to implement open beta testing they will have to do something they have zero experience in, something completely alien to them.

Listen and act on what they're told.

doesnt work anymore

It doesn't work. Neither in v6.2.0.1 nor in 6.1.9.6.

Bullshit
- To analyze episode as movie:
Where the s02e01 pic from? - dl the episode in H265 and check the bitrate.
You have to start the episode beforehand in the same way as before with 6196/7.

- To see time instead airdate:
checked and confirmed with 6201

> nor in 6.1.9.6

You can forget 6196 because of my 1st sentence in #16


s02e02 checked for 3 minutes - 6201 original:



with change from jpp72:


with my change as movie:


If you can't manage this, the problem lies with you

[jpp72]

I dunno how you mess up changing 1 character in a python script...


Unless of course you edit the file with Windows Notepad and you save it as amazon_get_seasons_info.py.txt instead of amazon_get_seasons_info.py

Then please read first (!) before you make false claims.
Your “no longer works” does not match the quoted text!

I'm with ya, jpp!

The issue here is that the developers do not have the experience to solve the problems in this specific program. That's where AnyStream excelled. May it rest in peace. Their forum admin and their developer worked together on important issues and only added things when the other programs were working correctly. I am not sure the developers here can fix the issues, or else I am sure they would have.

Aka so we're basically screwed then once the DRM gets updated again. Is that what you're saying?

[MrGrackle]

Is the issue I am seeing with Hulu h265 directly related to individual analysis? It might be seeing a pre-roll stream or something and therefore analyzing that?
