1. Why my StreamFab crashes on Mac M1?

Same headache here—often between two downloads. The fix that actually worked: fully uninstall the app, delete all related folders and caches, restart your Mac, then grab the latest installer from the website and reinstall. Not glamorous, but clean slates are magic. After the fresh install, those mid-queue crashes stopped and downloads behaved. If you’re stuck in that restart-every-two-tasks loop, try the wipe-and-reinstall routine.

Look for “arm” in logs—it usually means Apple Silicon. Example: 2022:12:25-01:25:33 Info: strcdm dir: "WidevineCdm/_platform_specific/mac_arm64". If you see arm64, congrats, that’s M1/Apple Silicon. 

2. Mac shows space shortage

Running low on space on your Mac? Try these, in order, and breathe a little.

A. Sometimes the app doesn’t clean temp files on its own. One user fixed it by uninstalling, reinstalling, and fully deleting the leftover folders along the way—like a real spring clean.
B. Using a NAS? Map the NAS path to your local system so it appears as a mounted drive. Then pick that mapped path—yes, the one with a drive letter or volume name—as your storage location.
C. Skip cloud-sync folders as a save path. Cloud drives love conflicts; your disk space does not.
D. If your Mac has only one drive and it’s full, changing the save path won’t help. The temp path still lands on the stuffed disk.
E: Finally, check permissions. Make sure the app can read and write to the folder you chose.

3. No sound when playing the downloaded video

The problem may be related to the software you’re using for playback or its settings. As a general suggestion, try playing the video using VLC or PlayerFab. Additionally, please make use of the free software called Mediainfo (link: https://mediainfo.sourceforge.net/en) to identify if there’s any audio-related info within the video.

4. How to fix StreamFab Error 314? 

Recently, StreamFab has received some feedback about the StreamFab 314 error code, which usually means the trial limit has been reached. In some cases, using unofficial or modified builds (or third-party tools claiming “compatibility”) can also trigger it.

What to try: create a new account to reset the trial, and make sure you’re on the official release from our site.

5. About the temporary 540p on Netflix (Jul. 2025 Update)

Many users noticed that StreamFab did not support downloading 720p/1080p Netflix videos for a while. In fact, Netflix has strengthened content-protection measures. StreamFab is designed to help you manage eligible titles for personal offline viewing within Netflix’s Terms of Use and local laws.

Netflix videos may support up to 1080p with Atmos/EAC 3 audios since 6.1.8.2 version. Please update to the latest version, or click the button below to download the latest StreamFab directly.

6. Why are the resolutions of videos downloaded by StreamFab different?

Many users have questions about the quality of StreamFab downloads. Some videos StreamFab can download in 4k/1080p resolution, while some videos are only 720p/480p. In fact, StreamFab has reached the highest quality downloadable from streaming services. For some videos that cannot be downloaded in high resolution, there are two main reasons.

   
  1. Videos are limited in the highest quality that can be played in the browser, which results in limited download quality.
  2. Some high-quality titles use platform-level protection.StreamFab should only be used in compliance with service terms and applicable laws.

Other FAQs

1. How to make sure that the videos could be downloaded by StreamFab?

First, see if the title plays normally in your browser/app under your account and region. Then try the link inside StreamFab’s built-in browser. If analysis completes, that usually means offline management is available for that title within the platform’s rules. If it doesn’t work, please contact us with details so we can investigate.

2. Whether or not the downloads will automatically resume the next day after reaching the limit of 100 for a particular service?

It depends on your setup. Pop into your device’s Settings, then General. Scroll to the bottom—there’s an option to choose a daily auto-start time for downloads. Set it (pick a time you actually like; early birds, I’m looking at you). If that switch is on, your queue will wake up and resume at the time you chose the following day. If it’s off… well, nothing happens until you start them yourself.

3. Why I can log in Netflix website successfully but when I use StreamFab, it notifies me that the Netflix account password is incorrect?

Been there—annoying. What fixed it for me: reset your Netflix password in a browser and, during the reset, tick “Sign out of all devices.” That forces Netflix to drop stale sessions and keys. After that, open StreamFab and sign in again. Boom—no more password errors, just downloads.

4. Can I download 1080p disney+ videos with StreamFab? 

Yes! StreamFab Disney Plus Downloader lets you pull parts of videos from Disney+ in crisp 1080p straight to your laptop—quick, clean, no drama. Curious which titles actually support 1080p? Take a peek at this Reddit thread: D+ shows compatible with 1080p.

5. Can I use StreamFab with VPN?

If you use a VPN, please do so for legitimate purposes (privacy, security, or traveling within regions you’re licensed for). Do not use VPNs to bypass regional licensing or any content restrictions. Your use must comply with the platform’s Terms of Use and local laws.
