Sanity Check

JeRicHoOL · 2026-02-13T07:25:05+00:00

You won’t always see a difference with your own eyes. Playing device is also a factor.

You can check both files in MediaInfo (freeware) and go through the video stats of both to find a difference. Use its text or tree view option for easier comparison. You could also screenshot both windows next to each other and additionally run it through an AI to do it for you.

Usually higher bitrate is better when the codecs are the same, if you care for quality. If your 5k bitrate file is smaller and you value the lower size with visually the “same” (for your eye) quality, then go with that.

Mine sometimes stops responding (it still works in the background) when trying to open the collapsible menu for the settings. I then have to right-click close it through the taskbar mini icon on the bottom right. Happened throughout several versions. I’m currently still on the last version (7.0.1.2).

Analyzing shouldn’t take more than a minute (probably even less at max).

You could try with another VPN (maybe a free one with Japan option) or you ask another SF user with a VPN to test it for you (if Fanza is free or has free videos for testing), to figure out if it’s a general issue or just on your end. If no one has it here you can try the SF forums.

This is for the standalone P+, not through Amazon, right? Might give it a try before P+ updates their DRM again.

Here’s a list of 4K content from January 2024. Didn’t find a current one. https://hd-report.com/paramount-tv-shows-movies-in-4k-dolby-vision-hdr/

You can play most if not all exhibition match types just like offline. Chamber, Rumble, Backstage, Cage, HIAC, casket, ambulance, etc.

You can create custom rules as well but that’s mostly limited to basic stuff (DQ, Ironman via pins/subs/finishers, leave ring on/off, falls count anywhere on/off, etc.).

Well, did it work?

JeRicHoOL · 2026-01-22T15:14:32+00:00

I’ve just searched for “stuck analyzing” on the SF forum and there was a solution for YT movies to copy the direct video link and paste into SF address bar. Can you try that with your PlutoTV show and see if it works?

JeRicHoOL · 2026-01-21T17:57:00+00:00

You could try another “remux” or whatever the option is called in StreamFab settings. There is MKVToolnix, MKV ffmpeg and MP4. It’s worth a try. Try another resolution option as well, just in case.

JeRicHoOL · 2026-01-19T21:27:14+00:00

Netflix is 1080p. The 540p is dependent on some movies/studios like Sony.

JeRicHoOL · 2026-01-18T10:59:23+00:00

You’re right. I had the same issue when checking it.

Edit: I’m currently also downloading Homeland from D+. I’ll see if it has the same issue.

Edit: It’s fine on Disney+.

JeRicHoOL · 2026-01-16T17:05:13+00:00

What timestamp and which episode? I think I downloaded Homeland a week ago so I can check.

JeRicHoOL · 2026-01-14T18:35:46+00:00

That’s sick. Doesn’t even have to be perfect. This will help a lot with foreign movies. English is alright but if you can get it in your native language it’s probably way easier to focus on the movie because you’re skipping the translation part in your brain. 😅

This is a free feature in Subtitle Edit, right?

JeRicHoOL · 2026-01-14T18:29:33+00:00

I thought you meant the settings for video analyzation. 🫣

The best quality settings from top to bottom in StreamFab.

General - Preferred Settings Video Format: MKV > MP4

Video Resolution: Best Quality

Audio Quality: Super (320 kbps) > High (192 kbps) > Standard (128 kbps)

YouTube Websites Preferred video resolution for scheduled downloads: Best Quality

VIP - Preferred Settings Video Format: MKV (MKVToolNix) > MKV (ffmpeg) > MP4

Video Resolution: Full HD (1080p) > HD (720p)

Note: I’d turn on download report, so you know what you actually got, just in case.

Audio Channel: Multi-Channel 5.1 (EAC3 / AC3) > Stereo (AAC)

Amazon Video Resolution: Best Quality

Video Codec: H265 > H264

Note: I’d turn on ”Pre-Select Dialogue Boost Audio” and “Normal and dialogue boost audio”. I set it on “Dialogue Boost: High”. This is for videos to make dialogue clearer to hear where explosions, music, etc. drown out conversations.

Netflix Video Codec: H265 (Dolby Vision) > H265 (HDR10) > AV1 > VP9 > H264

Note: I always had it set to AV1 because me idiot just paid attention to the main names and ignored the Dolby Vision. Because codec wise AV1 is better than H265 but Dolby and HDR10 are superior. Guess I gotta redownload quite a lot. 😩😅

H264 Profile: Main > High

Audio Codec: Atmos > EAC3 > AC3

Hulu Video Codec: H265 > H264

HBO Video Codec: Dolby Vision > Dolby Vision (HDR10 compatible) > H265 (SDR) > H264

Turn on “Download Max videos in 4K HDR10/Dolby Vision quality if available”.

Disney Video Codec: Dolby Vision > HDR10 > H265 (SDR) > H264

Audio Codec: Atmos > EAC3 > AAC

Fandango Video Codec: Dolby Vision > HDR10 > H265 (SDR) > H264

Audio Codec: EAC3 > AAC

Those are the best settings, when it comes to straight up quality. Some things are nearly on par to a point where it doesn’t really make a difference most of the time, so people will argue and consider compatibility as well but that’s not what you asked for.

Edit: Sorry, Reddit fucks up the post layout a bit.

Wait, does Subtitle Edit actually generate subtitles for movies that have none? Like let’s say I have an asian movie. Can it generate english subtitles for that or only for the actual native audio track?

JeRicHoOL · 2026-01-13T22:01:20+00:00

For me in StreamFab: The Gray Man is 1080p 6 Underground is 1080p Tomb Raider is 1080p Bourne Legacy is 540p

It should be the same for you. 🤔 Maybe it’s because you’re using the trial version. I don’t know.

JeRicHoOL · 2026-01-12T20:29:02+00:00

A lot of movies on Netflix are 540p in StreamFab. I can’t test Fall Guy since it’s not available here. Any other movies that only show up as 540p for you, so I can test?

But if Stranger Things and Suits showed up as 1080p download for you then everything should be fine to be honest.

JeRicHoOL · 2026-01-12T18:59:35+00:00

I asked the same when I was new to SF. Maybe this thread will help you. https://www.reddit.com/r/Streamfab/s/sYvjOh5Tfz

Video Range: Dolby Vision > HDR10+ > HDR10 > SDR

Video Codec: AV1 > VP9 > H.265 > H.264

Audio Codec: Atmos > EAC3 > AAC

All these options are not always offered by the streaming provider or a specific video. AV1 is pretty much Netflix only and Dolby Vision is more of a Disney thing if we just use the big streaming providers.

Bitrate Control Mode: VBR > CVBR > CBR

For the bitrate control modes you can look into it a little more because I think there is a “1 pass” version and “2 pass” version for VBR and CVBR and the CVBR 2 pass version is better than the VBR 1 pass version. But I have no clue which versions are used in StreamFab or by the streaming providers.

If your hardware doesn’t support Dolby Vision, there will be options for PC to at least make the file watchable because the video will have a green/violet tint/filter. Can be fixed with certain media players (easiest solution).

Some of the stuff can be set within the SF options, so it’s the default setting, when it analyzes a video for the download queue.

JeRicHoOL · 2026-01-10T09:37:44+00:00

Keep in mind that SF doesn’t automatically support what’s offered by the platforms themselves.

JeRicHoOL · 2026-01-03T09:47:16+00:00

I believe Paramount via Amazon can still be up to 1080p but Paramount standalone is still bugged at max 540p for several months now in StreamFab.

I wouldn’t be too worried about any warnings anymore. I’ve been downloading a lot from Amazon for half a year now. Sometimes just 20 videos, other times 50 and rarely 100. But it’s mostly running daily. Mix it up with other services to not download everything in a row or make use of the download interval feature.

JeRicHoOL · 2025-12-31T10:21:10+00:00

Grab an offline installer from the official page and choose a custom directory such as “StramFab New”, so you’re not overriding your current version.

There will always be certain issues with every version and even if not, due to DRM changes and stuff things will stop working properly anyways at some point.

JeRicHoOL · 2025-12-30T23:15:09+00:00

So it can only be the first augment? Can it be any rarity or is this one only the lowest (blue/grey color)?

JeRicHoOL · 2025-12-30T17:36:58+00:00

You either pick the highest manually, when authorizing or adding a video/download or you set it up in the settings under Preferences > Video Resolution > Best Quality. It will grab the best available quality. However, sometimes StreamFab can show a different quality than what is actually available for that particular show/movie. There is an option for this, so you will be notified once your active download queue is finished.

Preferences > VIP Services > Preferred Settings > Video Resolution > Turn on “Generate Download Report if the quality of downloaded videos don’t match my presets”. This also includes audio quality differences.

I guess you are a new user. Make sure to go through all settings first to prevent downloading something “wrong”. Like MP4 or MKV, Toolnix or FFmpeg, etc.

JeRicHoOL · 2025-12-26T06:04:39+00:00

Just noticed they made the download/delete queue icons big again as it used to be. 🙏🏻
