Movie replay narrative

General Discussions
1

All the sudden my plex player is giving audio narratives. I cant find out how to turn this off. Its through every player, and movie, Thanks.

Every Plex player supports the selection of which audio track to play.

  • Which Plex client type is it?
  • What kind of file are you playing? (DVD rip, Download, DVR recording etc)

Ive attempted off my tivo app and fire tv. its mp4 files ripped off dvds.

Please use the Plex web app to inspect the file. Does it have 2 audio tracks?

Or even better: please copy the Plex XML info of it and paste it in here.

This file has only one audio track.
So Plex is playing this only track.
Whether it contains a regular movie audio track or one with audio description depends wholly on how the file was ripped from disc.

Plex can do nothing to change that. Particularly it has no feature to replace audio tracks or insert audio descriptions into regular audio tracks.

You’ll have to re-rip those movies.

Thanks for your help! Is there an identifier on the tracks that I can look for so I dont keep getting them?

Not that I know. You’ll have to identify them yourself.
I keep a desktop player (e.g. VLC) handy, to verify my rips are playable and contain what I need.
I ususally rip all tracks first and compress later, as a second step.
