Amazon Amazon 6.1.6.4 is still SD even with old movies

[Chameleon]

Pathetic

[KidJoe]

I tried Live Free or Die Hard (2007) which I purchased a while back... yup, 960x540.

I'll post logs later.

The good news: SF only offering, what we can dl (and without re-encoding)
The bad news : No old content more in >540p

After inspecting i know: 6164 use only the SD mpd (for new and old content)
so you can't see/select the real max resolution

[Chameleon]

I dont even know why anyone would use this program in the state that it's in. No 1080p anyplace, no 4K anyplace. Who wants to download and add 540p to their media collection? Not me.

6.1.6.1 I'm so relaxed

[Chameleon]

Lets me what it looks like when its done downloading.

6.1.6.1 I'm so relaxed

Yeah, I downloaded the offline installer, I apparently didn't run it, and was on 6.1.6.2 and saw 1080p but didn't download... then I got pop-up noting I wasn't on the latest.

After installing 6.1.6.4 I get...

I was a bit confused by the release notes. "Download mode is back to normal" made me think it was safe to go 6164 and still get the older content at full rez, nope.
I guess what this thread does tell us is they have worked through a first layer or two, so there is an end near. Progress being made!
As a long time user, overall quality has gone UP. In the early days there were Netflix videos that were never 1080, that was later fixed to include 1080 on almost everything. Seeing Hulu go over 720 was something we were led to believe would not happen.
I would LMAO if at some point these cat and mouse updates, that SF finds a way to see even the L1 stuff. No more cached keys on D+ for example, just straight 1080. (Never say never)

The release notes were indeed confusing.

The release notes were indeed confusing.

I absolutely don't understand them. Also, Jack and I are NEVER given any information beforehand like we were promised. We are in the dark, just like the rest of you.

There's a lot of content, sitcoms especially, produced on tape in the 70s, 80s, 90s that is inherently limited to SD resolution. There are other old programs made on film that have not yet been digitized at HD resolution. Amazon has 12 seasons of My Three Sons from the 60s that are well worth downloading. Presumably produced on film, but the show has never been released in HD. When 1080p downloading returns, check out The Absent-Minded Professor, Son of Flubber, and The Shaggy Dog (Disney movies that Fred MacMurray made while doing or just before doing My Three Sons.

Hi all,

For the movie "Smile", yes, 1080p should be also downloaded in 6164, but there is a problem for now.

I known the problem, I will post a new test version later.

Wilson,
You do realize that if everyone stayed with 6.1.6.1, they would have gotten the same results.

I didn't know what version of Smile you were talking about, but it didn't matter since they both downloaded 1080p with 6.1.6.1.


And if everyone stuck with 6.1.6.1 they wouldn't have had to deal with re-encoding and the 13000 error in 6.1.6.2. And then the 13000 error fix in 6.1.6.3, followed by old Amazon videos at 540p in 6.1.6.4., followed by this [TEST VERSION] which gives the same results as 6.1.6.1. And all this while you are wasting time working to get it to do what 6.1.6.1 already does and the DRM problem is not being fixed. I must say the users on this forum have, for the most part, been amazingly patient, but as I outlined to you back on January 25th, that will only hold up for so long. The users that hang out on the Reddit forum are already ready to riot. Users don't want bits and pieces and interim solution, they want the whole thing completely finished and back working like it was before Google pulled the plug on 2557.

I agree with Cats4U, just update the app when it's ready to use, release BETAs if you want, but not like official realeases, and don't go back and forth witth the app.

Keep with true WEB-DL and forget re-encodes and shit.. release betas, for people to test in from the forum and that's it, release the final version when you have the new chrome cdm
