STARZ STARZ Downloader Maximum Resolution for some titles is 1024x576

[Maverick_83]

Hi, I don't see a STARZ prefix option to select when creating this topic. With implementation of STARZ downloader in streamfab version 6.2.2.4 some titles have maximum resolution of 1920x1080 while other titles only have maximum resolution of 1024x576. Wasn't sure if this is a known issue. Please let me know if I need to include any other supporting documentation.

Hopefully someone else who has access to Starz can confirm or not. I don't have access to Starz, but I would guess that since you do get movies in 1920x1080 and some not, then that's the maximum resolution offered by Starz for those movies.

BTW, Cats4U did ask for a Starz prefix, but I guess it went unanswered.

Why does everyone who doesn't get the resolution
or codec they want think it's due to an SF issue?

The title is not offered by starz in > 576p (at least in Chrome)



check it yourself:

Yes this has always been the case. Before the downloader only 720p was available. So this is an improvement.

I have the same issue as Maverick_83 concerning Starz download resolution (for the same movie).

Yes, this is a known problem:

SF cannot download a better resolution than offered by the provider.

In STARZ, not all of the videos included the 1080p video quality.
