Why is this restriction of 720p still active, when they use the same platform as Peacock and Sky Showtime?

I can't see into the SF future ..
.. maybe there is a way for SF to get the info (and key) for 1080p

Currently no WOW DL is possible - so I can't answer this for the following releases


> This information (720p for PCs) has been on the WOW website for years

It is still true that is no more offered in a Windows browser, so why should this changed?

[MSco]

I dont understand this. Peacock and Sky Showtime are also using this platform and can be downloaded in 1080p by Streamfab. Why is this restriction of 720p still active, when they use the same platform as Peacock and Sky Showtime?

P.S.: This information (720p for PCs) has been on the WOW website for years. This does not necessarily mean that this will still apply after the move to the new platform.

I'll try to get infos about the player later ..

I found no way to see the current bitrate in player - only this settings in view-source

"videoQualitySettings":[
{"default":false,"bitRateCeiling":222223,"name":"video.quality.low.label",
"description":"streaming.low.description.label","type":"low","player":"playback.streaming.low.label"},
{"default":false,"bitRateCeiling":755556,"name":"video.quality.mid.label",
"description":"streaming.mid.description.label","type":"mid","player":"playback.streaming.mid.label"},
{"default":false,"bitRateCeiling":1555556,"name":"video.quality.high.label",
"description":"streaming.high.description.label","type":"high","player":"playback.streaming.high.label"},
{"default":true,"bitRateCeiling":0,"name":"video.quality.max.label",
"description":"streaming.max.description.label","type":"max","player":"playback.streaming.max.label"}]

And I can't find a way to switch the default


As with most providers, only 720p is officially available for PCs

Germania How can I check the resolution of a video currently playing in the browser?
I would like to check, on which resolution WOW movies are displayed in the browser with the new WOW website layout.

In Chrome/Firefox browser is still maximum 720p with CBR ..
.. but the mpd url contain: skynow-dash-vod-8s-hd-sdr-generic
and pointed to vod_master_manifest_sd.mpd

Changing ..sd.mpd to ..hd.mpd don't work ..
.. so the url is different or the token does not support access
But I assume that ..hd.mpd is also offered for other devices (app?)

I'll try to get infos about the player later ..
.. I have only one stream allowed and switching SF to regular Browser takes longer

Last of Us.s02e07 use this mpd in Chrome (max 720p 4830):

I've got the same issue. Just playing the video but no download window.

I reinstalled the Application with the same result.... no download on WOW

With the new layout and new NBC platform, it's the same
with all SF versions for everyone and for all titles.

So all you can do is wait for an SF update

Thanks very much Germania

... and what's the "secret"?

With source mpd and N_m3u8DL-RE I get always "non-monotonic dts" for audio with all remuxer ..
.. so I need to delete the first 15 (or 10) seconds intro in mpd

<Period duration="PT15S" id="_PT0S_0" start="PT0S">

or using yt-dlp - that works for me with original mpd

Manually tricky - but works (still max 720p):

... and what's the "secret"? How did you get it down?

[Germania]

SF which was working last week on my other PC now also stopped downloading from WOW
- it simply doesn't go to analyse, it plays the ad and then starts playing the video content.

Yep, I see also the new layout in SF and so there is no detection and no error in log

And now I see: mt.dai-nowtv.nbcuni.com and nbcstreaming.hb.omtrdc.net

The log doesn't really show anything.
I filed an error report to service.

This is what was logged after deleting the log before clicking the video:

I have read here that the NBC plattform is also used by Peacock and Sky Showtime. Movies of both services can be downloaded in 1080p with streamfab.

Does this mean, that we can hope, that WOW downloads will be possible in 1080p after streamfab is updated for this service? This would be awesome!

[TomG69]

It's very clear and definitly now, that WOW Germany change the server to the NBC plattform ...
look here -> https://www.dwdl.de/nachrichten/1024..._universal_um/
an here --> https://www.wowtv.de/watch/asset/dei...nis/TF22507997

I hope strongly, that SF this facts "have on the umbrella" ...
