Dolby Atmos

I see an advertisement that stream fab now supports Dolby Atmos. Does anybody know on what services and maybe what titles so that I could give it a try?

Obi-Wan on Disney+ has an Atmos option.

KidJoe

Amazon, Disney+ and HBOMax have select titles with Atmos (6 channel lossy EAC3-JOC) audio, and StreamFab can download that.

But Atmos does vary by title. For example, On HBOMax Fantasitc Beasts Secrets of Dumbledore has ATMOS and but Fantastic Beasts and Where To Find them does not.

And I say Lossy ATMOS because its compressed and in Dolby Digital+ for streaming, and so not the same as Lossless or uncompressed Atmos in TrueHD that you'd find on a disc.

Thank you much sir. Are there certain streaming boxes that can play these files back using Plex? I currently have an Apple tv4k. I’m assuming they download in mp4 format.

Were you able to download a file and retain the atmos soundtrack?

Do not know about that download as noted but I just downloaded the new release from Netflix posted today...."Hustle (2022)" with Adam Sandler and it downloaded at 1080p - Dolby Atmos (EAC3-JOC0) as noted by KidJoe as such for streaming 6 channel-Atmos.

AGuyWithAComputer

You do also need a receiver or soundbar capable of reproducing the Atmos channel as well. otherwise, it is just 5.1

The receiver I have in the living room can, but I do not have the speakers for it....yet

I do yes. 7.2.4 Using Apple tv4k for playback with Plex.

StreamFab can download in MP4 or MKV, there is a setting for this. I believe the default is MP4 (but its been a while since I did a fresh install, so I don't remember).

My basement (with 5.1.4 with ATMOS setup) is a couple of weeks away from being finished.

Long story short, since my family room setup is only 5.1 speakers, I can't enable ATMOS on the receiver to know if it will indicate ATMOS when playing. That being said, the input info the receiver shows for these files while playing is exactly the same as playing them back from Amazon, HBOMax or Disney+ so they should give me ATMOS when played locally. With Plex and my Roku Ultra 4800 and Roku Ultra 4760, there is no audio transcoding happening for these files.

I don't have an Apple TV device. So I can't say how that handles these files.

So as long as your setup supports ATMOS (i.e. your sound bar or receiver/speaker setup) then you should get ATMOS playing these back.

Audio Playback with plex can be fun. For the most part plex will try to pass the audio through if the device supports it. My Chromecast plugged directly into my receiver won't transcode. The one plugged into the TV instead of the sound bar transcodes it to opus 2 channel.

If I had the atoms speakers on my receiver I would have the Atmos audio

I should have read KidJoe's response first. Basically, what he said.

I am NOT seeing this sound option (EAC3-JOC)(on netflix title Hustle anyway)(or on new fantastic beast title ON HBO, only see english and spanish there), just updated SF to latest. I see Multichannel (EAC3) and Stereo (EAC3), for Hustle. I do have a 7.2.4 atmos system with marantz 6011 and easily playback atmos titles for apple, vudu, disney +, etc as well as 4k and regular blueray. On a side note can i message you directly as to not blow up this post? I have a few ?s about dvdfab also.

You will not see it in the dropdown. You will only see Multichannel or Stereo and if you select multichannel and check the downloaded file with MediaInfo, you will see it has EAC3-JOC Dolby Atmos

thank you much for the mediainfo tip. My Dune file from earlier this year is showing E-AC-3,JOC Dolby Digital Plus with Dolby Atmos, now for the real question. How do i play this file with Atmos. Using Plex on an Apple tv4k it shows as 5.1. Is there a different video app I should try, or possibly a different streaming device? And yes I have an atmos setup and have no issues with the apple tv playing atmos from itunes, vudu, disney plus, hbomax and moviesanywhere.

As @jpp72 said, unfortunately StreamFab doesn't tell you. After download, open the file in MediaInfo and check the audio details.

You can PM me if you need. My work day is pretty busy and our son's baseball has me running in the evenings, so my responses can sometimes be delayed.

Per K

Both Loki, Hawkeye and WandaVision on Disney+ can also be tested, because they also contain Atmos.
So it looks like they are using Atmos on all their latest Marvel series.
