Detect and display Dolby Atmos/DTS:X
Posted: 17 Dec 2018, 17:21
The number one feature I'm missing in MrMC is the ability to detect and display immersive audio tracks such as Dolby Atmos and DTS:X. Today they are either listed as TrueHD 7.1 or DTS Master-HD 7.1.
The fine folks over at MediaInfo (http://MediaArea.net/MediaInfo) have figured out how to detect audio objects embedded in streams.
I have no idea how much work it would be to port over their detection code but it would be a killer feature to have in MrMC.
This would also mean it would be possible to have MrMC pass through only immersive tracks and decode the rest to work around the new Dolby licensing limitations they are introducting for cross-upmixing between Dolby and DTS content.
