Peacock Now Downloading Descriptive Audio

classic57b

Peacock is now downloading Descriptive Audio. In my settings, I have “Pre-select Descriptive Audio if Available” turned off. Examples:Law & Order S25E16 and Law & Order-SUV S27E16. V7.0.1.9

The Pre-select Descriptive Audio if Available setting, I don’t think it ever worked. Many times, I got the AD, and I never have it checked or selected.

Maybe try downloading again?. ~~I see if I can follow up tomorrow on this.~~

Tried Law & Order S25E16 and got the same result.

It does say on Peacock in English and English AD, but I see it also says this for the earlier episodes.

You could try to force SF to analyze S25E16; it might help. a few tips for that are here >

I also did go to Peacock via SF and might have helped or not. I changed from English to English AD and back again.
It was either that or the force analysis, and now, I don’t get the AD.
So it works.

So what are you saying is broken?
I just played back SVU S25E16 and have regular English audio (not descriptive).
But I usually also leave the episode I want in the “Continue Watching” pane instead and click there to download it.

I don’t think Peacock module is broke in this situation.
I got the descriptive audio also.
Why some did get it and some did not I can not explain.
Might more likely be a Peacock or SF temp glitch.

I just did 2 things at the same time and 1 or both fixed it for when I downloaded again.
I played the episode seeing that while watching I could chose between English and English AD.
Mine was set on English, but I selected English AD, then switched back to just English.
I then followed the steps in link I gave in my second post and forced SF to analyze the specific episode.
Yes Peacock auto analyzes but following the steps still can analyze any one episode anyone wants.
I Then downloaded again and there was no descriptive audio.

So op can try either or both and if others experance this abnormality they can try them as well.

For all we know even just a simple clean of temp folder may work.

OP never came back and said if they tried anything or if just worked or really never replied in any form as to if fixed and if so what if anything was done.
I also know I did at least try, saw it happen after first download I tried of the episode, and clearly heard the descriptive audio.
Then did what I did and second attempt of a download went fine and had no descriptive audio.

It is hit or miss. The 3 Chicago series downloaded automatically through the scheduling module Thursday morning. We have just gotten a chance to watch them. Chicago Med worked fine. Chicago Fire and Chicago PD both had Descriptive Audio. I just downloaded manually Chicago Fire and Chicago PD and worked fine (no descriptive audio) Stan001 mentioned that there were 2 different subtitles available for selection (English and English AD) I just looked and I only have 2 options on my download page “English” and “None”. Although there is something strange about the selection, If I select “None” and then check the checkbox for “English” the checkbox fills in noting the selection was made. If I click it again, an orange right-facing filled in triangle shows up just left of the checkbox.
