StreamFab for Windows IQIYI - Some Episodes are downloaded in 240p

[Rabiato]

Hi, it seems as if i cannot download certain episodes of two IQIYI Series in proper quality, instead of 1080p i get only 240p.
The episodes affected are numbers 37 - 40 of Strange Tales of Tang Dynasty II To the West https://www.iq.com/album/strange-tal...pch?lang=en_us and episodes 35 - 40 of Mysterious Lotus Casebook https://www.iq.com/album/mysterious-...zed?lang=en_us













I would be grateful for any help.

I see the same difference with yt-dlp (used by SF)

So the problem doeslie with yt-dlp?

[Germania]

Looks like this - SF use (modified) yt-dlp so the result is the same ..

I found only this old topic:
[iq.com] No formats above 240p available for new episodes on Iqiyi

The Episodes are released in 1080p, i have already watched both series before downloading them, but i will give your suggestions a try, thanks.

[Germania]

Looks like 1080p is DRM protected (need key to decrypt)
but user-agent iPad works for me (compare with #5) - sample

If you can add your cookie it should be longer then 360 seconds ..

I was able to download the episodes in 720p, which is good enough for me, again, thanks for your help.
