I am not disagreeing that your flagging approach might be useful, but something more permanent would make more sense. I'm sure they would add this when it becomes available. As stated, ffmeg doesn't currently offer this option, and not many people will want to manually flag audio codecs in filenames.

And what of those people who do want to? There's been plenty of discussion from users, not devs, talking about implementing Atmos in their home systems already. And for every person who creates an account and posts about it there are plenty more who lurk and just read.

It's 1 flag (3 eventually) not every audio codec possible. It works the same as current flags already built into Kodi for things that cannot be pulled from streams. Again, 5 minutes of work for someone who knows all about this and it's there for every single Kodi user to use if they so choose. It's been done before. And if a more permanent solution comes in the future that code can be deleted in seconds for a future Kodi release.

All the arguments just keep pointing back to the devs not caring and prefer spending their time typing about it online and insulting posters as selfish and greedy rather than typing the code into the Kodi base. Them adding this to Kodi as a default won't even affect my system as it would need to then be supported by the alternate skin I use which is something I did months ago. Greedy and selfish me!
