When I play them back thru Movies or Media Player (both MS apps), I can only get those in Atmos in bitstream, i.e. my AVR displays Atmos as an incoming signal...any other format is either played back in PCM or I don’t get any sound at all.Interesting. I also have a bunch of Atmos demo files that I tried playing in the Film & TV app (why have they changed the name, I don't know. In the store it still appears as Movies & TV).
That means bitstream is already supported for the MS proprietary apps, but only for Dolby Atmos.
None of the Atmos tracks played. I have bitstream enabled and Dolby Atmos selected.
What I found was that if there was an AC3 track in addition to the Atmos one, then it got played. But if there was only an Atmos track I got no sound. This is on a new One S, by the way.

A little example: a file exists at NFS/SMB share. Not all players can play a file from network shares.
The same for external HDD/USB: an app may not have capability to work with external storage.

Damn. I was waiting for Xbox version for a long time. I thought I can throw out all my media players and 4k Players and keep xbox one x as one device to rule them all ..but it is not gonna happen for now... Microsoft screwed our hopes.. any news from Microsoft about this request?

I saw those. That's why I said what I said - doesn't quite make sense for those of us not as well-versed in UWP.

No, Kodi isn't sending Atmos streams, it can send only PCM due to system restrictions. but system is transcoding PCM into Atmos.
