1. Download Mode v.s. Re-encoding Mode: What's the difference?

  • Download Mode: StreamFab's download mode involves directly accessing the original encrypted video streams from the streaming platform, decrypting the DRM protection, and ultimately generating clear video files.
  • Re-encoding Mode: Re-encoding mode is a method that involves downloading the original encrypted stream first and then decrypting it through CDM to obtain the decrypted cached video stream, and ultimately encoding and decoding it to generate Clear video files.

With Dowload Mode, StreamFab provides our users with fast download speed (up to 30-50 MB/s), lossless video & audio quality, multiple subtitle formats (Remux and external subtitle files) and high quality audio & video formats (4K, HDR, Atmos and others).

2. Why am I able to stream videos in 4K resolution, but only able to download up to 1080p?

The download quality is based on the playable quality in Chrome/Firefox browsers. However, due to the varying DRM protection types for different quality levels, it implies that not all playable quality can be downloaded. In some cases, we can utilize some specialized technical methods to enable users to download video quality or Codec that cannot be played in the browser.

For examples:

  • Hulu does not support 4K video playback on browsers, but StreamFab allows users to download 4K content for offline viewing.
  • Amazon users are unable to play H.265 or EAC3 audio in their browsers, but StreamFab allows users to download H.265 and EAC3 for offline viewing.
  • Netflix users are unable to play Dolby Vision and HDR10 videos in their browsers on Netflix, but StreamFab allows users to download them for offline viewing.

3. Failed to download videos. Does StreamFab not support this site?

You can check StreamFab Download Status to verify the program's operational status.

  • If it displays "Updating", it means there is an issue with downloading from the streaming site, and our team is working on an update to resolve it.
  • If it displays "Running", it means the streaming site is functioning normally. In this case, please restart the client or your device, uninstall and reinstall the client, and try downloading again.

If you need further assistance, please feel free to contact us.

4. How to check if StreamFab supports downloading videos from a certain site?

We recommend that firstly you should check whether the video can be played in a browser, as some videos can only be played via the app. If the video can be played on a PC browser, try to copy the video link and paste it into StreamFab's built-in browser.

If the analysis and download process continues without difficulty, then the video is supported. If currently the video is not available for download, please feel free to contact us and let us know about the functions or services you wish to be added.

5. What should I do when StreamFab is not working?

When StreamFab is not working or fails to download videos, you can follow this tutorial for self-checking.

1. For error code issues

Currently, the common error code is error code 314. This message indicates that you may be using, or have used, a cracked version of StreamFab. Please delete it from your PC and download the official version.

2. For download limit issues

To maintain a favorable environment of streaming services and adhere to the principle of fair use, StreamFab limits the maximum number of downloads from streaming services. Currently, the maximum number of videos that can be downloaded from each platform per day is 100. The number of downloaded videos will be automatically reset the next day.

3. Other issues

For any other usage issues not covered in this article, please contact us for support.
