HBO Max Rome Wasn't Built (or Downloaded) in a Day

[sparkie001]

HBO MAX series "Rome" via cable provider Spectrum acct.
After selecting a season of the series to download, it downloads the first episode and then just sits there 'waiting to download" the next episode.
If I go back and search for the series and start playing the next episode by hand it will start downloading the episode and then stop downloading the next episode again.
So basically I have to start each episode manually.
Logs says "Catch MPD invalid" ?

Windows 11 24H2
Streamfab 6.2.0.7

Thanks, Steve

For faster test I used only 720p and added s01e01-04 to queue
SF collected the 4 thumbnails and then nothing happened (using us vpn)
only "Waiting to Download" - so I restarted SF and started the queue.
Then the Max tab opens automatically and the download begins.
After Processing and Remuxing, I heard the ep2 recap playing
after ~30 seconds the next analysis/download starts.
Next epi3 ~60 seconds recap playing before dl starts, epi4 same

So all 4 episodes were successfully downloaded without my intervention
(I never clicked "Skip Recap" possible that is then faster)

So it may be that you simply haven't waited long enough.
I have also "Catch MPD invalid." - this refer to the recap

Interesting. I was already set to 720p. I waited almost an hour

But using your suggestion I closed SF and restarted. It downloaded the first of my episode 6 to 10 queue and then stopped again. So I either have to start playing an episode manually to initiate download, or restart SF. Thanks for the input.

check (try changes) your Max Autoplay Settings

Mine match yours - thanks.

I finished ROME using my manual workaround. Now the same thing is happening for THE WEST WING.

Don't try so many episodes at once ..
.. and maybe "Download Now" instead of "Add to Queue"

Have you an ad supported plan and any webfilter installed ?

Have you tried to rename your cache (when SF is closed) - like here

Hi - I decided to "go nuclear" and uninstall all traces of the program and reinstall. It's working normally now. Who knows what happened... Thanks for all your time!
