I pulled a programme from URL via Safari into the Queue.... on searching it found one one version available this is a "Audiodescribed version" see below log. It show up in the queue and seems good. On starting the Queue the download fails.

This is because in Preferences I have When Searching, Look for: Audio Described Versions (unticked)

If I tick this the Queue executes correctly. Given I wasn't searching and pulled in from URL i didn't think this preference applied but seems to have issue that it fails the queue even if you pulled in from a good URL. I would expect if its the only version available for it to download rather than fail. But i can understand why you might not want it in a search.

I tried this with Summer Heights High: if there's no audio described option on the BBC website then you can enable it in GiA to download the show you want to, especially with these older shows that it seems they aren't bothering to add description to.

GiA is just using information from the BBC website, so if they've tagged it as audio described only, then you'll have to work around it.
