Audio Description (en) audio track downloaded instead of regular

While downloading from Discovery+, Gold rush Season 16 from episode 12 to current I get the AD audio, don’t matter if I use 720 or 1080. Could there be a fix...

Duane4869

yes, english is the only option. I clicked on it to show that AD is not an option

Duane4869 can you play s16e8 in a browser and then analyse it? @Germania do you know if there’s a movie mode or a last watched analysis for discovery+?

The interesting part about season 16 when checking the log is this. Episode 1-7 is without AD. Episode 8-23 also include the AD track. But it’s only visible in the log, not as an option in the SF audio drop-down box.

The error is apparently that the AD track is being downloaded, even though the “normal” audio is selected. According to the log two audio tracks exist for episode 8-23, but only one can be selected. And SF download the AD track even though it shouldn’t, because “normal” audio is the only track that can be selected.

@Duane4869 Now I have tested with VPN with US IP and can confirm I also get AD for S16E12.

My advice for the moment is that you should use VPN with EU IP, then you will get the correct audio for S16E12-E23.

0xFeedBeef @Germania do you know if there’s a movie mode or a last watched analysis for discovery+?

Sorry - I’ve never had a Discovery subscription in my life and don’t plan to.

I tested to analyse only that specific episode S16E12 in SF and there wasn’t any difference. Still only listing a single English track. AD isn’t mentioned in the list or MediaInfo when checking after download. But AD is in the audio anyway when playing the file in media player after download.

I took a screenshot from browser that also shows that AD is available in S16E12.

@Duane4869 Now when I tested S16E08, I got AD audio there too when downloading with SF. You wrote the first episode you got AD for was episode 12. Are you sure it was E12? You didn’t get AD for E08-E11?

I see this problem has existed before. In changelog for 7.0.1.7 from March 12 it says:

Fix: A problem that certain videos are downloaded as descriptive audio when downloading videos from Paramount+ and Discovery+.

So it’s just to wait until devs can fix it again. In the meantime, the only way to get correct audio for you is to use VPN with EU IP when you enter D+ site in SF.

I’ve added this to the catalogue; looks like something the devs will need to look into @Wilson.Wang

I tested now again with S16E12 at D+ US. This time the downloaded file was without AD. 👍 So it’s fixed now in new SF 7.0.2.4 even though it’s not mentioned in the changelog.

Downloading Rock the Block Season 7. Cannot find a reliable way to download episodes in 1080p and without descriptive audio only. To get 1080p, I need to select H265 but still only can get descriptive audio.

rmillerjr10 what region are you in, what version of SF are you using, what language are you trying to download? Are people just supposed to guess? C’mon!

At least try to help people help you: https://forum.dvdfab.cn/d/433509-how-to-post-issues-in-the-streamfab-section

Latest Version of SF

rmillerjr10 what exactly is “latest version”? Did you install via the updater or with an offline installer? Descriptive Audio was supposed to have been fixed a few releases back, if memory serves me right, see: https://forum.dvdfab.cn/d/472101-ad-en-audio-track-downloaded-instead-of-regular/29

I tested now and it’s the same problem as in the old thread. It was fixed, but apparently the problem with AD is back again. I tested with SF 7.0.2.6 with US IP. Also as in the other thread the only visible option in SF is English (without AD) even though both with and without AD exist (also listed in log file). But again when playing the downloaded file you notice it’s the AD track.

Rock the Block isn’t available at all at D+ Sweden and in UK only season 1-6 exist, not season 7. So this time it won’t help to use VPN if you live in US to the get correct audio from D+ in for example UK or Sweden.
