I'm unable to get Dolby Atmos in Kodi
Whereas I get the Dolby Atmos in other players while playing the same file
Please share if anyone have any info on how to get Dolby Atmos (I use TV speakers for audio)
TV: LG C3 65

Hi everyone, I have a running Kodi (build 20230912-1f4ee05109) on LG OLED65C11LB (webOS 6.3.3-442) and everything is working smoothly except for one thing.
When running 4K streams which have bitrate over 25 Mbits/s, I get the buffering issue. I also have Android box (Nokia streaming box 8010) where I don't have any issues with buffering. Both are connected to the same WiFi.
My guess is that webOS doesn't have enough free RAM. It shows only around 600MB of free RAM.
Could this also be some different issue? Can you run 4K streams over 25MBit smoothly ?

That being said it can certainly still be a wifi issue. Just because the Android box next to your TV does have a decent connection, the same must not be true for the TV. Can you try using a wired ethernet connection? Most TVs only have a 100mbit/s port but that should be sufficient for pretty much any content. I have been able to play 200mbit/s files using a wired connection via a usb to ethernet adapter but you should be able to achieve the same on a wireless connection if the connection is good.

I'm new here, I'm not a programmer but I consider myself handy with software.
My TV is an LG OLED55B8PLA, I'm not sure if it uses webos 4 or webos 4.5.
I have managed to get Kodi to work "well" on my television, compile commit 7662d48 modifying the HOME directory so that it is set to the root folder of the application, in my version of webos it is set by default to /media/developer. Also pathelf the binary to set the RPATH to $ORIGIN/lib.
Those changes can be set in the master build because they do not affect new versions of webos, it simply tells the binary the options that are default in webos 5+
I don't know if this is the right place to say it, but it would be possible to add them to the master version, and add another change that my knowledge does not reach, making the option to disable hardware acceleration operational in the configuration, since in webos 4 o 4.5 is not operational and a black screen appears when playing.
My native language is Spanish, I have used Google Translate, I put the original text below.
"Soy nuevo aqui, no soy programador pero me cosidero manitas con el software.
Mi televisor es un LG OLED55B8PLA, no estoy seguro de si usa webos 4 o webos 4.5.
He conseguido hacer funcionar "bien" kodi en mi televisor, compile el commit 7662d48 modificando el directorio HOME para que se estableciera en la carpeta raiz de la applicacion, en mi version de webos se establece por defecto en /media/developer. Tambien parechee con pathelf el binario para establecer el RPATH en $ORIGIN/lib.
Esos cambios se pueden establecer en la compilación master porque no afectan a las nuevas versiones de webos, simplemente le dice al binario las opciones que son por defecto en webos 5+
No se si aqui es el sitio adecuado para decirlo, pero seria posible añadirlos a la version master, y añadir otro cambio al que mis conocimientos no llegan, hacer operativo en la configuración la opcion de desactivar la aceleración por hardware, ya que en webos 4 o 4.5 no es operativa y se optiene una pantalla negra al reproducir.
Mi idioma materno es el español, he usado Google Translate, pongo el texto original a continuación."
