AD is, of necessity, in the audio track. If it's actually present, VLC would have to play it. Unless there are multiple audio tracks. Maybe have a look, in VLC, at "Audio" > "Audio Track" > ... and see if there's more than one audio track listed. Maybe these files are coming with both a regular audio track and an audiodescribed audio track? ___ get_iplayer mailing list get_iplayer@lists.infradead.org http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/get_iplayer

I don't claim to understand the changes made by the BBC which prompted the release of version 3.23. There is a bit about it here. https://forums.squarepenguin.co.uk/showthread.php?tid=2129 and here https://forums.squarepenguin.co.uk/showthread.php?tid=2125 As I understand it, DVF and DAF (DASH) modes are not affected, so continuing to use v3.22 may not cause you a problem. You probably won't see any HVF modes. Even with v3.23 you won't see hvfxsd modes, which is the mode I use most often, until the next maintenance release. I can use dvfxsd instead, but only with 96kbit/s HE-AAC v1 audio with SBR. Until the maintenance release, for things that are not worth the effort of reducing the frame rate of dvfhd to 25fps I am taking the video from dvfxsd and combining it with the audio from --tvmode=dvfhd --audio-only Best wishes Richard ___ get_iplayer mailing list get_iplayer@lists.infradead.org http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/get_iplayer

Playing using VLC doesn't play the AD. I'm not sure how it may relate to this. However I've downloaded all the episodes (using DASH) and I did a quick check having seen this thread. I played a couple of short bits of episode 8 and it seemed normal - i.e. didn't notice any AD. Played using VLC, so maybe that ignores the AD and just gives me the normal audio? If I remember, I'll drop the file onto ffprobe to see what it contains.

No, Ralph, I didn't request the AD version, but that's what I got by default.

Oh, download_history, good idea. I add each manually to the PVR.
Here's my episodenum, mode, versions, and the end of the filename.
$ awk -F\| '$2 ~ /^His Dark/ {sub(/.*_/, "", $7); print $(NF-2), $6, $8,
$7}' \

Re: His Dark Materials m000csdk: only audiodescribed available?
Hi Ralph
The versions field is telling you the available versions, and the end of
the filename is telling you the version you downloaded. I can't see
anything in what you have shown which suggests you got the
audiodescribed version when you didn't want it. That is not to say you
won't get the audiodescribed or signed version if it is the only one
available, just that your download_history doesn't seem to show it.
download_history is written incrementally (append mode), so if you have
downloaded the last episode twice there ought to be two records.
Best wishes
Richard
