Hi,

I have asked this question before but didn't get an answer. Blu-ray players can passthrough Atmos without firmware updates. This means blu-ray players just pass the Atmos extension data as is, without any parsing at all (how can they). Why can't Kodi do the same?

I read a post in this thread stating Atmos data needs to be parsed by Kodi but I can't understand why (except maybe for making a software Atmos processor). The only thing I can think of is that ffmpeg does not expose the Atmos extension data to Kodi?

Would appreciate it if anyone can clear this up Have just bought an Atmos enabled system and hate to have to dust off the old br-player, endure the annoying br menu's and crappy br player interface just to enjoy Atmos sound. Let alone the physical disks swapping

Thanks in advance,
Grobbie
