There are now a few albums released (and more coming) with Dolby Atmos and DTS:X (object based) multichannel audio tracks. The only way to listen to these is via HDMI Passthrough to an AVR with Atmos/DTS:X decoding.
Currently I’m using MKV to contain the Atmos/DTS:X audio track and I’m adding them like a music video using nfo files to describe Artist, Title, Year etc. These become part of my Kodi Music Video library so I can find and play within the Kodi UI or with music video playlists.
With many new object audio releases expected (pre announced) it’s time to find a way to include these in my Kodi music (audio) library, after all these are audio files (with no video). Adding them as music videos is a workaround.
Is there any way to get these into my music library by scanning either MKV (or MKA or MP4) tags? Can I use nfo files? Anything else?
@DaveBlake: If MKV, mka or mp4 tagging is not supported for the music library I’d be interested seeing what’s involved in implementing it.
