BITstreaming Pure Audio
« on: September 09, 2021, 06:05:36 am »
I've tried to be future-proof, by ripping Dolby Atmos content down to audio files (.MKA)  that can be imported and indexed beautifully into my library.
Although I can't yet extract the objects and so forth;  I have to settle for <7.1 channels in JRiver Media Center.
Do you plan on making bitstreaming available for audio files any time soon, I bet we are many whom would love to enjoy our Dolby Atmos/object based content from within the library instead of using other  players such as MPC, or forloren video files :)

I thank you in advance

This has been available for many, many years already, unless I am mistaken about what you're trying to do. Try Audio options - Bitstreaming.

I'd like to bitstream .mka files - that is an audio file format...  I can do this in many other media player applications such as MPC
But JRiver media center seem to be able to bitstream only .mkv and other video file formats;  that has indeed been possible for many years,  and that is how all my data is delivered to my AVR.  Dolby Atmos and DTS:X works very well,  but only with video files.  What I'm requesting is the ability to also bitstream pure audio files :)

Has any one of you been able to do this ?

.mka isn't an audio file format, it's a container.
Atmos is the audio format.

We will take a look to see if handling the container is possible.

very interested in this.

I have started to accumulate a good number of albums mixed/encoded in Dolby Atmos and there's quite a few out there and more coming.

This was discussed before .... i recall Hendrik saying "Bitstreaming is a feature of the video engine, audio-only files play through the audio engine."

So atm you cannot bitstream pure audii files. You can add some video streams to mkv container to circumvent this. But this is crude.

Pardon me then  :)
But very good to hear you will consider to see if this will be a possibility,  I sure hope it'll be in the near future
