watch barbie without asl

Trying to watch the Barbie movie WITHOUT ASL. Says there are two versions, but no matter what is picked, the ASL comes on in the lower right corner. How can I turn this off or FORCE MAX to play the non-ASL version?

Hello @domter, Thanks so much for taking a moment out of your day to leave a post on our community forum. If you say "Barbie Movie" into your X1 remote you will see the multiple versions to pop up, so you can watch the movie without ASL.

I’m having this issue when I click on the regular version the asl one still comes on. Is there a way to toggle it off?

@user_4q1s1k There is not an option to toggle the ASL version off as it is a separate version of the movie. When selecting Barbie the first option on the left for me is the non-ASL version. If you hit watch options you can make sure that the free option for MAX | HBO is selected if you are selecting MAX the app may need to select the correct version again once the app launches. If you still encounter the incorrect version playing if using one of our X1 boxes do a system refresh by saying "Refresh Box" into your X1 voice remote. This will ask if you want to perform a system refresh with "Refresh Now" Select that option to continue with the refresh and once done try again.

Still having issues.  Now I have to say more because your website requires 20 characters.

Having the same issue here. The one that is supposed to be non-ASL has ASL. Something must be messed up with the Xfinity / Max programming.

The director's commentary is playing for me rather than the actual movie.

@user_d48n5b Did you by chance choose the movie that has the directors' commentary? If you say "Barbie Movie" into your X1 remote you will see the multiple versions to pop up

This is also happening to me.  All of the Barbie Movies are Director Cuts.

The system refresh is a complete waste of time. X1 box lists two versions but only plays one. Had to launch non-ASL version of movie through the Max App to get rid of ASL person.

Hello, @nwcom. Thanks for reaching our team on Forums regarding the issue with playing the movie. Are you experiencing this issue with any other movie or strictly with the Barbie Movie?

Hey Barbie!  I am having the same issue and I have been unable to resolve it.  Help.

Same thing here. This is really annoying. The only two options are the ASL version and the Directors cut version that has Greta Gerwig speaking throughout the entire movie. Why don’t you have a option to watch the original movie without ASL and without the Director chatting throughout?

@user_r8loty If you launch the Max app you can then find the correct Option for the Barbie movie there. Selecting the Non ASL version directly in the MAX app on your X1 box is a great workaround to help make sure you can watch the version you enjoy!
