Paramount Plus Language Formates

SF 7.0.1.7. Paramount Plus - Languages

Hi,
Is there any information yet about the languages available for download on Paramount Plus?
For example: Scream (2022). Download in 4K (H.265 HDR10+). Here, only English 5.1, English 2.0 (Audio Description), and French 2.0 are offered. On Paramount Plus via the website or app on the TV, French isn’t offered at all, but German 5.1 is.

Germania

Are you trying in Germany ?

I get no x265 offer but german audio ..
.. so what about AAC?

Chrswbr1

Germania

The same with AAC just 2.0.

Germania

Just a small addition - from here

P+ is weird ..
With 7011 (no HDR mpd) I get the Dub version
MobLand_ Familie bis aufs Blut.s01e03 => 48:13 (with sync info at end)
With 7014 (HDR mpd) I get the international version
MobLand.s01e03 => 47:13
same account and same connection/country

Germania

Chrswbr1 The same with AAC just 2.0.

Then you get the International version with Android access - see above
(I can’t currently say why it’s different for me - perhaps because I’ve no german account)

To get german audio you need the other (no HDR) mpd for Windows ..
.. so you need SF <7012 for local language

Germania

After 7018 released I tried again and can confirm me:

With SF >7011 you get the HDR mpd (here) without german audio

With SF <7012 you get the no HDR mpd (here) with german audio

And you can see that the HDR is shorter because there is no synchro info at the end

btw: I received earlier the “old” mpd with 7017 because it was the wrong cookie

I can confirm the problem regarding 7.0.1.8. and Scream 2022 (location Austria and premium account).

It’s weird. Scream 2022 in Austria offers no German audio. However with VPN via Germany it offers German 2.0.
But it differs, most videos offer German even without VPN in Austria, some only German 2.0, some German 5.1 (and some even H265, but only with VPN via Germany). I think it depends on which German format P+ provides

I could not identify a clear pattern for this behaviour, but it seems, that only a few videos are affected by not offering German at all. Maybe the video data could be different in Austria and Germany and SF can’t handle it.

However, downloads in Austria with 7.0.1.8 work eventually, but unfortunately most P+ Downloads from Austria loose the audio after a few minutes of playback (with any ffmpeg version). Using VPN in Germany on the other hand provides flawless audio. This could be an indication, that there might be a different dataflow in Austria and Germany indeed. But I am only a gessing amateur.

So the last fully working Version for P+ in Austria is 7.0.0.9, at least in 540p, but with German 2.0 audio (for Scream 2022)
