Could you please provide a link to each of the examples? RPI2026F1 (talk) 04:38, 31 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
The examples above can be added after the links in the source field, need Peacock account, i.e. https://www.peacocktv.com/stream-tv/the-amber-ruffin-show, https://www.peacocktv.com/stream-tv/joe-vs-carole, and https://www.peacocktv.com/stream-movies/psych-3-this-is-gus.

I see some issues here. I assume the-amber-ruffin-show is from https://www.peacocktv.com/stream-tv/the-amber-ruffin-show. When logged in to Peacock, that URL redirects to https://www.peacocktv.com/watch/asset/tv/the-amber-ruffin-show/7069386783458050112. The second URL is included in the javascript of the first page. tv/the-amber-ruffin-show/7069386783458050112 is probably a more stable identifier, except that if you're not logged in, you're redirected to a login page.

Aside from all that, Peacock could change the slugs they use in their URLs, breaking the identifiers. HBO Max sort of did, and broke a lot of identifiers in HBO Max ID (P8298). Trivialist (talk) 22:43, 17 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Support, an important property for television.--Arbnos (talk) 00:05, 24 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Support, I don't see why not, given we have similar properties for Netflix, Hulu, Disney+, etc. AntisocialRyan (Talk) 00:50, 5 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Comment How is this supposed to work if there isn't one and only one formatter URL? UWashPrincipalCataloger (talk) 06:37, 22 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose; unclear if Peacock uses one stable identifier like Netflix, Hulu, etc. do. Trivialist (talk) 21:40, 22 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

You raise an important concern. It is common practice to redirect someone to the login page, this does not mean by itself that the ID is unstable. In other words I don't consider this issue to be blocking. I don't much like links to paywalled and geoblocked content, but it's hard to argue why a site with 20 mill subscribers shouldn't have an ID when sites like Netflix has one.
