I've been using Kodi succesfully ever since it was XBMC. I never had to ask a question. Everything just worked.
However I recenlty upgraded my home theater system and added Dolby Atmos. Now I'm having a problem that I can't seem to solve on my own.
My hardware consists of:
TV: LG OLED 65B8PLA
Mediadevice: Nvidia Shield TV (2017)
Receiver: Onkyo TX-NR676
The problem I have is the following: Whenever I play a movie/clip with Atmos sound, the sound does work. My receiver recognizes it as being Atmos and sound is coming from my speakers. However 2 times out of 3 the channels aren't placed correctly. Sometimes the audio that is supposed to come out of the center channel comes out of the left surround speaker, the atmos info comes out of the right front speaker, surround comes out of one of the Atmos speakers,... It's all messed up. When I restart the movie/demo sometimes it fixes itself, sometimes it doesn't. There are times I have to restart a video 3 or 4 times to get the sound to play correctly.
One demo, Dolby Nature's Fury, downloaded from Demo-World.eu never seems to work in Kodi. The channels are always messed up I redownloaded it with the same result. I thought it was a corrupt file but then I played it with VLC and in VLC it works just fine.
I have set everything to passthru in Kodi and the Shield is set to Automatic surround (tried "Always" but results are the same).
Is there anyone who can point me in the right direction here?
Thanks in advance.
