hi I have my HTPC running kodi hooked up to my pioneer slx58, running 5.2.4 atmos setup, the atmos speakers (4 ceiling ) work fine when playing Transformers through my blu ray player, (and receiver dsplays atmos), I have backed my disc up into mkv via makemkv and ripped the dolby true atmos hd audio file. However when viewing the receiver is showing PCM (and showing true hd only on kodi info), and there is nothing at all coming out of my ceiling speakers. My understanding was kodi could decode atmos, can anyone advise?, do I need to run an add on ?.. thanks

This may be a dumb question, but are you sure that makemkv is doing a true passtru and not affecting the encoding.

Because, If you search thru the various forums there were issues reported by others. One of the member in another forum mentioned that they ripped the same Transformer movie into mkv and tried to play it in oppo and it didn't recognize the 'dolby atmos' encoding and the thread is 'Unable to rip Dolby TrueHD from Dolby Atmos BD using MakeMKV - help please!'
