Issue Resolved - Peacock now honors Preferred Audio (5.1 vs 2.0) in SF 7.0.0.1

Good news - another longs-tanding issue is fixed in 7.0.0.1: Peacock now honors your preference for audio channels when it downloads.

Previously it alwas preselected 2.0 audio, even when 5.1 was selected in Settings/Preferences as your choice, so you have to change it manually for each title.

Now, it honors the setting - select 5.1 in Preferences, and 5.1 is the preselected audio when downloading. Change to 2.0 in preferences, and that’s your preselected audio when downloading. (if the title supports 5.1, that is.)

Nice. 👍

Great, that helps very much for Peacock.
Glad they fixed it.

This is only for movies and shows that only have 5.1 episodes and not the shows that have older AAC 2.0 only ones? I still have the issue that for show that have old AAC 2.0 episodes, the downloads are mostly limited to only that.

Probably still need to force analyze episodes of shows that Season 1 might be 2.0 audio but you are trying to download season 2 which has 5.1?
How does it handle to 192 kbps vs 384?
