With or without passthrough enabled?

Without

This means that the Receiver must support LPCM audio, i.e. Denon X2500H is dropped out of my selection; which Rec. do you use?
Thanks

Edit: I assume that almost any AVR will playback LPCM; it is just not explicitly mentioned in the data sheet of Denon X2500H

To get eac3/atmos, your receiver must support atmos. There is no setting to enable/disable. MrMC will detect the number of channels available. If the receiver is atmos enabled, the number of 'channels' reported is greater than 8. This is passthrough of eac3/atmos to your receiver.

That's great; +1 over infuse

Currently, I connect my ATV 4K directly to the TV (LG OLED65G8) which is Atmos enabled, so I assume that the TV´s sound-bar will play Atmos correctly; although I don't get the "feeling" of the 3D sound image.

P.S. I have an NAD analog stereo amp which gets its input from the headphone (analog) audio of the TV just to augment the sound volume through the main (4 driver) speakers, but this is, of course, Atmos irrelevant. This is the reason for my thoughts regarding the AVR at all to clean-up the sound mess.

Thanks

Unfortunately, I can not test ATMOS. I currently have DD 5.1.
So I can not give a report here.

I have tested a few files with eac3+Atmos and they play fine with a few glitches.
A few dropped frames on start and it takes 3-4 seconds to go back to the menu. The video stays playing but the audio does not for that duration. Doesn't happen with any other files.

Is there a plan to transcode TrueHD+Atmos to eac3+Atoms instead of PCM or is that not a good option?

I understand I haven't been as active as in the past but I do have a new Atmos system - Onkyo NR-787 in 5.1.2 mode. So, if you need any more help, don't hesitate to ask.

edit: I didn't get any notice from testflight so I had no idea I was already included.

At this time, there is no known method to transcode TrueHD/Atmos to eac3/Atmos. But we shall keep it in mind.

Maybe this is already known @devs, but the new web server page with remote, doesn't handle the button positions right. When webpage with the remote is zoomed in or out, the button image is not clickable anymore (Win:Firefox & Edge).

Also web server page with remote, is not usable anymore on my iPhone (Safari), which I mostly used to trigger codec info/stats on screen.

3.7.1 doesn't have this issue on the remote web server page.

I've got only one DD+ Atmos test file for now (Natures Fury) and it does play as atmos according to my receiver.

Problem I'm seeing is that it seems to hang at the end, with 1 second left to play. About 30 seconds later the video finally closes and MrMC gets back to the library I'm in.

Same problem of hanging with 1 second left instead of closing the video with a different Atmos file.

But non DD+ Atmos files have no problem.
