StreamFab General Query [6239 and older] [CWTV] [Crunchyroll] occasionally fails silently

[0xFeedBeef]

There are rare (but sufficient) occasions when the downloader doesn't download a part of the stream (or fails to decode or fails to mux or something) that results in a wildly divergent (incomplete) mux with video and audio tracks differing wildly (luckily my MP4 well-formedness picks it up so I can re-download) but something ought to be done so that at least the failures aren't marked as "successful download" by SF, happens to me with both CWTV and Crunchyroll (the latter has been happening for ages). For example, re-downloading Wild cards from CWTV resulted in:

:/mnt/export/CWTV/Wild Cards$ ~/scripts/chk_mp4 mp4a
!D V=1165164 A=2548089 d=1382925: S01E101_The Infinity Thief.mp4
!D V=2012010 A=2547565 d=535555: S02E211_Bride and Doom.mp4

as can be seen, the video tracks in both cases are much shorter (in milliseconds) than the audio tracks.

I think it's just crazy how some of these sites can be so different. The 6239 did make a pretty good improvement, better than I expected, with CWTV, but I don't do that much downloading from them, so it seems from what you say above, that there still is something, but (maybe) could be CWTV itself.
But I guess over time we will know with future updates. Much more needs to be fixed and updated. I guess that's why it's one update a week?

I think it's more of a case of something happening on the network like hitting a server that's overloaded and where a regular browser would just keep trying to connect to a different IP, SF just fails silently at that point, but I'm guessing at this stage... I recall OnceHasBeenStream had similar problems with every vendor until they implemented proper error handling.

On the plus side, totally agree with you, ttml subtitles* for CWTV are far better than the crappy srt ones

* edit: which actually are vtt (saves me a conversion step) but could the dev change the file ext on them Wilson.Wang ?
