Peacock Peacock downloading AAC audio on 6.2.2.8 and higher

[jbinkley60]

I recently upgraded to 6.2.2.8 and then 6.2.2.9 and started getting AAC 2 channel audio with StreamFab for Peacock. I downgraded to 6.2.2.7 and am getting EAC3 5.1 channel audio again.I tried this on a few series / movies. One specific series is The Hunting Party season 1.


Thanks,

Jeff

I did try Episode 1 of The Hunting Party and got EAC3. There is no option for Peacock in SF to choose EAC3 or AAC.
Might be a location issue? I am in the USA, I have Peacock through Xfinity, Peacock with Ads.
This was using 6229. I can't say why it does not do it for you in 6229, but does in 6227.
Streamfab has again got to the point where we need access to several versions back to 6220, depending on what you're looking for.

Good luck.



ADDED: In streamfab general settings, I always have EAC3 selected. I don't know if that helps or not.

I am in the US midwest. I just tried 6.2.2.9 again with episodes 1 and 10 and see the same issue 2 ch AAC audio with the same settings you have. I dropped back to 6.2.2.7 and it works fine. I keep many copies of StreamFab just for these types of reasons.

Yeah, it seems 6227 is the best bet for constant EAC3 audio. Depending on what I try, I sometimes do get EAC3 with 6230, but it's too inconsistent. I, too, have multiple copies of SF on my computer, so any more use on Peacock, and it will be 6227. I like to use the latest as much as possible, but lately it's been we need multiple copies of SF.
Sadly, we as users have to fix it, as we know 98% of the time the next update won't come for a week since the last update.

ADDED: Some discussion of this was intertwined >here.

I had the issue of downloading Peacock shows using 6228 or 6229 and 6230 fixed that. However, I now have the 2 channel audio issue. How can I download old version like 6227?

log in to the member center at the top of the webpage, there you can download older versions (it is a paid service)

You can analyze individual episodes in Peacock the same way you can on Hulu.
To make it easier, add the series to My Stuff.
Click the show from within My Stuff, SF will analyze.
Cancel it when the download window pops up.
Now go back into My Stuff again, click the series, then find the episode you want, click on that, and it will analyze that episode.
