Low Bitrate on New Shows/Seasons

jpp72

When i tried downloading the new PrimeVideo show Cross, i saw that the highest bitrate was very low (958kbps). I found it weird but decided to download it anyway.

The end-result is watchable but i feel maybe there is something happening with the Amazon module. I have the same low bitrate with the 1st episode in Season 2 of the show Silo.

The reason why i am wondering if maybe StreamFab is getting a lower bitrate because it's using the older CDM is that the scene has very high bitrates for those same shows and they are sourced from Amazon:

The Scene

@Wilson.Wang: Is this due to the old CDM or are you just getting a different MPD than what the scene gets? The scene episodes also have 5.1 Atmos

Good observation Jack

Well, I also find that very unusual...
The bitrate is much too low!

Either there really is a different MDP or Amazon is taking extreme cost-cutting measures, which would also explain why the 4K HDR doesn't look like 4K when streaming directly on the TV!

@Wilson.Wang the developer has to check it.
