Why not put an option to filter by number of Audio Channels like by mono, stereo, 5.1 and 7.1. ?

This feature has been requested 10 years ago and still not implemented. Is it difficult to do?

As you pointed out, this had been requested before in many threads, consolidated in this suggestion focusing on audio formats (e.g. DRS) and channel layouts (e.g. stereo).

> Hello, &nbsp; Please will you allow us to filter based on the type of audio. &nbsp;I would like to watch all DTS movies, have a look at stereo and see where my collection can be improved upon. &nbsp; &nbsp; DTS is always great and I would like to add/replace my collection with more DTS content. &nbsp; Thanks &nbsp; Chris
