I was completely surprised to not see this present. You know like literally ALL streaming services do to clarify tech specs for content like Apple Music will have “Dolby Atmos” super visible next to the audio format.
Been trying to get in to Plex for audio a bit more and grown my library a bit with multichannel content.
This makes it look like there are a bunch of dupe albums as I’ll have 2 chan copies of them available too which I’m sure is the most common user case. Right now the experience is so suboptimal due to this.
Doesn’t need to be complicated just add a “multichannel” tag or so if there are more than 2 channels to the songs on an album. Or an enum with the most usual cases like 8 channels (“7.1” tag), 6 channels (“5.1” tag) and >2 (“multichannel” tag) and a default for regular stereo (possibly mono required too?).
Without knowing the tech stack (am a dev but other languages) this seems like a simple massive win.
Thanks!
Appreciate the hard work and so nice that Plex finally supports multi chan audio!
