Just to clarify some things:

AFAIK Kodi has the ability to recognize the codec of a file on-the fly, with the infolabel ListItem.Audiocodec, the possible values are (according to the wiki):

Xml:
ListItem.AudioCodec: Shows the audio codec of the currently selected video (common values: aac, ac3, cook, dca, dtshd_hra, dtshd_ma, eac3, mp1, mp2, mp3, pcm_s16be, pcm_s16le, pcm_u8, truehd, vorbis, wmapro, wmav2)

Atmos doesn’t appear, probably because like someone said, it’s not an actual codec (believe it or not Kodi devs are quite savvy…)

I don’t use the Kodi scrapers, but I think that’s safe to assume they follow the same rule and ignore the term Atmos (and others) altogether.

So we won’t get Atmos in Kodi core by now, and probably never will… Then we have two options:

1.- Forget about DTS-X y Atmos logos. That shouldn’t worry the ones that want to adhere firmly to the standards, after all they don’t even exist as codecs, right? Who cares about them?

2.- Giving priority to the logos appearing, even though we have to bend a little the rules. 

I’m surprised that no one realize that putting a codec name in the file name it’s not an option. That works for video, because there’s only one video stream in each file (by the way in this case Aeon Tajo make use of that, for instance if you put HDR as part of the file it will recognize it as such). But at least in my case my files very often have several audio streams… Which is the one with the Atmos? Impossible to know from the file name. I know that some skins forget about that, and they simply show a single logo for each movie’s audio. How people is happy with that is beyond me. Most of the video views in Aeon Tajo show the first three or four audiostreams, each one with its own logo and language (if provided).

A choice must be made then (after all, we’re in Matrix -blue pill/red pill- aren’t we?). If you choose option 2, you don’t need to edit anything manually if you don’t want to. Someone said he uses MediaCompanion and I use MediaElch, that can easily scrape your files and set the word Atmos and DTS-X in the info file when they find that. I don’t know about MediaCompanion, but at least MediaElch lets you choose that you only want to update the audio part of the nfo file, and keep untouched the rest of the nfo file…

Well said!

This is exactly what I meant with my last post where I wrote after revisiting it it is more correct now as it then otherwise.
Changing TrueHD or DDPlus to Atmos or DTS HD Master to DTS-X would be bending, a lot of bending. When I wrote first about it I did not think it to the end, as there are no real TrueHD or DDPLus Atmos logos, just Atmos logos.
What you are doing with showing all the different codecs that are in the file, or the first ones, is I think a very correct way indeed
The only thing one can think of is having an extra logo for Atmos or DTS-X somewhere aside from the codecs, while staying true to the codecs themselves.
If this is needed is another question, it would be nice though. But then you would have to "bend" again and say, ok, one of those streams has Atmos or DTS-X. It is truly not that easy.

Regarding the filenames, what I do is simply to put the best audio stream there is into the filename, but that surely is also only personal preference and mileage may vary.
