Discussion Changes in Version 1.5.0.1

[RedFox 1]

That is a bit odd as there was a dropdown for HBO. I don't mind for now as I have no idea if I can use it, but it makes no sense to restart it every time.
I would like to request to reverse this change and make it available in the download configuration dialog again, like it was for HBO. But, on the other hand, keep the current behavior for all the users that only want to use HEVC or CBR, like ever. They won't want to have the dropdown at all and prefer the new way with a permanent setting.

Of course I know it's only the first beta, these are just the first thoughts I have about it.

I hope you noticed that we enabled the dropdown box in Hulu as we did in HBOMax. Directly on the GUI, not in the settings.

I have my files on Hulu now, tested and checked, a few issues, but nothing serious, it will be updated. Enjoy the 1080p peoples.

What you do not understand is, that while building a new GUI your ask may be a viable solution, but changing a GUI that's already in place and active is not. The HBOMax GUI was built from the bottom up.

That sheds some light on why HEVC implementation took a different route for Prime than it did for HBO Max (and now Hulu)!


Thanks for clarifying.

I just tried it as well, and yes, you don't have to restart it. It is enough to press F5 to reload the page...

Actually you only need to F5 the Amazon page to apply the settings ... no need to go back and forth

Good news, thanks!

We do not discuss politics here. It turns nasty very fast. (off-topic anyway)

hehe, i know. i was trying to a) make a point and b) make a joke. and potentially c) raise awareness about the seriousness of discussing CBR vs VBR. oh, well. anyways...
