It would be great to have a fully working Linux Version of the program! That was one of the biggest advantages of the former competitor in the end. With regard to the end of support for Windows 10, I know many people who are looking for alternatives to Windows.

there was a linux version of dvdfab loong time agao but sadly it was shortly discontinued.

Once and for all, get rid of the online installer. With the offline installer, add code to completely remove all of the previous version (meaning logs, temp, cache, registry, etc.) prior to installing the new version. This will simulate a Clean Install. Allow the options to retain the Settings (if nothing has changed from the prior version - no new settings, etc,) and the existing Download Queue. Automatically clean out the browser history at the end of a session rather than having to do it manually.

As long as the removing of everything is optional. Not just the settings and queue. There are plenty of people here, including me, that just rename the StreamFab install folder under Program Files\DVDFab to have the ability to use previous versions and that seems to fix the "Upgrade" issues. I haven't done a clean install in over a year and i have zero localized issues (where it doesn't work for me but works for most others).

possibly the ability to download more than 100 videos a day, at most, of 100 to 150 videos

Go for an entirely modular approach- each "downloader" is a separate DLL or a shared library, that way, to update a single module, one needn't re-download half a gig installer and have another giant installation...

I'd like to see some improvements on VIP Services. I'd like to be able move the icons around to my preferences. For example, Peacock is on the 4th row and I want to move it up to first row. I know we have the Home page with the VIP Services. But it's only 1 row and I'd have scroll left and right. But if you can make it into multi rows, I will be happy either way.

Please update the WOW and NOW downloaders to download 1080p and AC3. It shouldn't be a problem with Playready and would be a reason to buy the modules.

Maybe not necessarily version 7, but fix h265 in Hulu. I do believe jpp72 posted most of what we have been asking for and additional chime-ins are just wishlists for specific sites, which in many cases should already be covered by specific modules, such as mu38 downloader.

How about a "clean up" option somewhere too? That metapicture folder gets very crowded. As does countless gigs of data that is no longer needed in the cache folder. The option could be a checkbox that does it automatically at program startup, or something a user goes into and clicks. Deleting the cache folder clears up a lot of stuff you do NOT want to delete. So it would need to selectively remove stuff to clean up the folder.

I know this is way out there, but the ability to emulate an Android box so that it could fetch the higher level stuff that a regular browser is not allowed to see. Realizing that it a lot of work potentially, it might be something people are willing to shell out extra money for. The Scene must have their own way to capture 4K stuff.

Download support for TV+ Türkiye, addition of MPD module, and full support for Turkish platforms

I would still like to have a template variable for the SERIES year instead of the SEASON year.

[jpp72]

Core (All Modules):

• Individual Episode Analysis
• Individual Season Analysis
• Multi-Audio w/Different Codecs (Example: 1 Video Track, 3 Audio: English Atmos, French EAC3, Spanish AAC)
• All codecs served by all modules
• MP4/MKV Container selection in download window
• Use MAX_PATH properly. Windows 11 supports 32,767 length if registry key is set. Not 260.
• Run custom script after individual download, season download, show download, or module download
• Track size and bitrate for video and audio tracks. (Audio size missing for Amazon and both missing for Disney+)
• Disable all hardcoded paths (Module\S01) and solely rely on naming template (No need for ..\..\)

Queue:

• Managing Queue with Up/Down Arrow in addition to current drag-and-drop
• Details of what was selected for that item (Resolution, Bitrate, Video Codec, Audio Codec, Subtitles)
• Ability to modify download parameters per item in list
• Ability to modify the TV Show name so it saves in that folder instead of the original name. (Example: Rise of the Animals instead of David Attenborough's Rise of Animals: Triumph of the Vertebrates)

Settings:

• Bigger or Pop-out Naming Template Window to avoid scrolling left-right
• Ability to format variables such as controlling padding for numbers (Season 1 instead of Season 01) or display name (Dolby Digital instead of EAC3)
• Video bitrate ranges. Set the lower and upper limits on video bitrate per codec. If I select a season and I selected 2700kbps, when SF gets to an episode with no 2700kbps, it should select something within my range
• Setting on what to do when selected codec not found. If I select AV1 or H265, and it's not available, DON'T download H264 cause i probably already have it.

Peacock:

• H265 Codec

Netflix:

• Ability to see dynamic range for AV1 video track selected (SDR or HDR10+) in download window and queue

New Modules:

• crave.ca
• tou.tv
• go.tlc.com
• wetv.com
• allblk.tv

And finally, before I forget: Individual Episode Analysis

There are a lot of numbers between 6.2.4.7 and 6.9.9.9. Version 6 is not completed, not by a long shot. There is absolutely no reason to jump from 6.2.4.7 to 7.0.0.0 unless you intend to make a money grab. By that I mean that you declare the change a major upgrade and somehow force users to pay additionally for the luxury of using the new major version. A new coat of white paint on an old house does not make it a new house. We've already seen how you've turned All-In-One Lifetime into just give us another $129 for a New Products Guarantee, and we'll actually give you the All-In-One Lifetime as the whole world understood the phrase to mean.

Wait, I recently paid almost $400 for the whole shebang (all products, future products, lifetime, extended download service, etc). Are you saying, it's possible I might have to pay again?

Please add skystore.com . There are a lot of issues still with version 6.2.4.7. Why not fix all of these before you release version 7? What's the point of endless updates and version numbers if nothing ever really gets fixed?
