Hi,

Thank you for the wonderful tool, wanted to know if we can transcode atmos using the tool, like from dolby atmos TrueHD 7.1 to E-AC3 Atmos 7.1 or 5.1 so that it can be played on apple tv also through infuse.

Did several tests and it seems that when Plex itself is transcoding TrueHD Atmos to E-AC3 it is dropping the Atmos data too. So I would say out of luck but will continue looking...

If anyone here is still on GitHub I would appreciate some help! My post is the latest.

This would not be possible. The only way it might work is with the Dolby encoder and striping all 16+ objects into separate wav files then use the Dolby Atmos conversion tool. I don't know if this is true but this is where I would start pondering upon. XD-cheers!
