YouTube Stuck analyzing for recent Atresplayer videos

[Powrtoch]

Since around June, I've been unable to download any new episodes in Atresplayer, mainly in the show Sueños de Libertad. The 4 most recent episodes get stuck analyzing while bringing up the download info. It never shows up. I've tried changing the cache folder name in the StreamFab folder and have done several uninstalls and reinstalls using the offline installer, including using the clean install method written in the forum sticky. Only once, the cache rename method worked but only on one use. As soon as I closed StreamFab and opened it again the next time, it didn't work anymore and hasn't since (I've retried it multiple times). I've been simply going back to using version 6.2.1.9 as it's the only version I have available that still downloads the newer episodes but now that version stopped working for me and crashes as soon as I even go to the Atresplayer site. I'd really like to figure this out so I can just continue using the latest version. If anyone can help, I appreciate it. Thanks.



Version 6.2.4.9, Win x64, Windows 11 Home

I've no subscription at Atres Player (or Movistar Plus+ or Disney+ Spain) ..
- Looks like there is no trial period available -
.. so I can't test myself - and your log is not visible

YouTubeDL: error - ""

Probably because SF currently cannot download DRM-protected content from YouTube either - see also here

Sorry, didn't realize. It should be public now. https://gofile.io/d/DEgNAi

In Log I see only:

YouTubeDL: error - ""

Probably because SF currently cannot download DRM-protected content from YouTube either - see also here

However, I'm not sure if it still works with "YouTube Downloader" ..
.. It could also be that "DRM M3U8 Downloader" is now required - but not registered

Are the extra clips ("Más vídeos") downloadable for you?

I see two different orange buttons - both tested ?

That reminds me now, I had an error maybe.. 2 or so updates ago where it would fail to download the video and would say something about it not being accessible due to copyright protection. I forget the exact words, I wish I'd taken a screenshot, but I'd never gotten that before and it was only during one update. I had switched to the older SF version for a while so I didn't have to deal with that, but in the newer updates I never saw that error again. I wonder if it's still the same issue underneath? Also, I don't know if it matters but at SF startup where it shows you all the licenses, I see DRM M3U8 Downlader with "3 of 3 Videos Left" listed. Would that not allow me to download at least 3 videos off Atresplayer if that module was necessary?

Regarding the extra clips, I am able to download them without issue. It only shows me one orange button and the window appears to me like in your first screenshot. The weird thing is, it only doesn't let me download the latest 3 episodes (I swear it used to be 4 but I just tested and it brings up the download window for the 4th). All the older episodes download just fine. I thought maybe because they are "Preestreno" (early previews for premium subscribers), but it lets me download the 2 older Preestreno episodes so I don't know why it wouldn't with the other 3.

3 videos possible in trial - but yesterday I happened to see the message (one time only)
that videos released in the last two months are not allowed in the trial - don't know more

It could be because of early preview, or they have changed something before publishing the last 3 episodes

Yeah, it used to show me two orange buttons just like that back in 6.2.1.9 but since the later updates, it only shows me one button now.

Okay, I've managed to recreate the time I got it to work by renaming the cache folder. I installed version 6.2.4.5 (the oldest working version I have), renamed the cache folder, and pressed play on the video first. After about 10 seconds, the second orange button showed up displaying "M3U8" which allowed me to download the episode. It brought up the Youtube Plus Downloader menu as shown in Germania's screenshot (2nd pic in post #5). Before I pressed play, it only showed one orange button and if I pressed it, it gets stuck analyzing. The one thing I noticed is that this version uses the DVDFab folder instead of the StreamFab folder. The latest version 6.2.4.9 was using the StreamFab folder and the renaming cache trick didn't work with it, even when I pressed play first. It's only when it's accessing through the DVDFab folder that it works. I'm not tech savvy enough to know what this means. I don't know why it has two separate folders where sometimes it uses one and sometimes uses the other. Anyway, with these steps, I was able to download the latest 3 Preestreno episodes. What I'd like to know is how to force the latest version to use the YouTube Plus Downloader menu. It seems that's the trick to getting the episodes to download. The regular YouTube Downloader menu works with older episodes, but the newest episodes need YouTube Plus Downloader. That's what I've concluded.
