Paramount+ US -> VPN -> UK P+. Videos not playing, stays analyzing.

Tried full logouts and logins. Clearing cache. Doesn't work inside SF or browser. Proton VPN.

Thoughts?

US -> VPN -> UK P+. Videos not playing, stays analyzing

I don't know if ProtonVPN works for P+ in UK ..
.. "Optimize video" don't work for me with all VPN

I don't know if it's a coincidence ..
.. but OpenVPN seems better than WireGuard in this case



It's definitly harder to find working VPN for P+ in UK as USA or AU

I tried to download the new movie "Novocaine" from Paramount+ and was stuck on analyzing for a long time. I eventually escaped out of trying, cleared the cache and tried it again and still stuck on analyzing. Lastly, I uninstalled and did a clean install of StreamFab and it still does not work so there is an issue with Paramount+ for me as well. I did try downloading an older video and it worked so it seems like it's probably related to just newer content is my guess.

Forgot to note that I tried it with, and without using a VPN as well.

I tried to download the new movie "Novocaine" from Paramount+ and was stuck on analyzing for a long time.

This has nothing todo with title "US -> VPN -> UK P+" ..
.. because it's not available in UK (only in US + CA)

Analysis works, dl speed (via VPN) lame - but works for me ..
.. more I can't say without your StreamFab.log

Attached is the log file and screen captures of Novocaine time start of download and when I cancelled it, as well as another new show SkyMed time of start and when I cancelled it as well. I waited a good 5 minutes plus on the first one and almost 5 minutes on the other and it just stays analyzing the videos.

Attached is the log file .. as well as another new show SkyMed

Also no problems for me to analyze SkyMed at P+ USA




Try to rename your cache (when SF closed) - like here
and rename your StreamFab.log, login again, try once
and if fails attach your (announced) new StreamFab.log

Appreciate the response was out of town on business. Just tried tonight and still Novocaine does not d/l. It appears Sky+Med would, but I escaped out to try Novocaine once more. Still wouldn't d/l. Please find attached the screen captures of attempt, renamed files and new log file. Appreciate your help Germania.

.. but I escaped out to try Novocaine once more. Still wouldn't d/l.

Still works for me in the USA



and also in CA (different P+ accounts)



I selected 1080p:

[Info]: [Analyze Dlg]:  Record add to queue -- Resolution:  "4837853:1080"

but Downloading shows 720p .. so I don't know currently what the result is




If you still have problems, post your new StreamFab.log

As you can see from the pictures above, the bitrate (+ logo) is different in USA and CA.

I really only got 720p instead of 1080p in both countries (no error in log)




in CA I added:

[Info]: [comboBox_Resolution]: 1920 * 1080 (Bitrate 5628 kbps)
[Info]: [Analyze Dlg]:  "Record add to queue -- Audio:en"
[Info]: [Analyze Dlg]:  Record add to queue -- Resolution:  "5628718:1080"
