StreamFab 7: Feature Requests & Suggestions Collection

[theluckyman]

1. Download Stability & Detection Avoidance

• Improve download methods so that they are less likely to be flagged or restricted by streaming platforms.
• Whether in “Turbo” mode or not, downloads should appear as normal user activity.
• Allow for higher daily download volumes (e.g., 100+ per day) while remaining stable and undetectable.

2. Highest Quality Output

• Ensure the ability to capture and preserve the highest available bitrate for both video and audio.
• Provide more detailed controls for bitrate and quality selection (untouched or lossless where possible).

3. Expanded Streaming Service Support

• Add support for more providers, including:
  • Philo.tv
  • YouTube TV (TV provider logins for channels such as OWN.tv, BET, etc.)
• Broader support for TV provider sign-in methods across additional networks.
• Enhanced compatibility for M3U8/MPD downloads.

4. Subtitle & Metadata Improvements

• Better subtitle handling (multiple language tracks, styled subtitles, optional forced subs).
• Automatically include the video title in filenames for easier organization.

Just one huge request from me: please add Shudder (www.shudder.com) to the list of available sites. Seems to be very little "security" around VPN etc., so should be fairly easy to add.

Another thing I thought of:

A user readable log of completed downloads.

When the movies/shows/videos have downloaded successfully, they are shown on the "Downloaded" tab. If you clear that tab, you don't see your past downloads. So besides just displaying that, write it to a user friendly/readable text file which continues to grow over time, so that we can reference later, look up what we have downloaded in the past, from where, etc.

If possible this log should contain at least what is displayed on the Downloaded tab, and potentially also include the following (off the top of my head, and not listed in a specific order)

1. Title
2. Service it was downloaded from
3. Video Codec
4. Audio Codec
5. date downloaded
6. destination File Name
7. Video bitrate
8. Audio bitrate
9. Release year if provided in meta data from streaming service

Decouple the in-app browser from the downloading functionality, so one can continue to browse and add to the queue while downloads are happening.

Make it so "Saving task queue..." does not block the GUI.

Is it possible to get Channel 5 from UK als a Modul?
