AUIDIO DEE DD+ ATMOS problems

[izzy697]

When converting a 8 channel DTHwAtmos file, it get's converted to a EAC3 JOC (with Atmos) file but with only 6 channels. I tried multiple audio files, always the same result. Is this some limit or am I doing something wrong. If it's limited to 6 channels, then this feature is pointless.

see line 81-84, you have to change the DDP mode to ''bluray'' to get 7.1 DDP.

::choose DEE workflow 8-1-3 DDP Atmos DD+ encoding bitrate (default= 1024)
set DDP_DEE_bitrate=1024
::choose DEE 8-1-3 DDP Atmos mode: streaming or bluray (default = streaming)  streaming max bitrate = 1024 @ 5.1ch /// Bluray max bitrate = 1536 @ 7.1ch + ac3 core
set DDP_DEE_mode=streaming

FYI: Bed channels do not matter when bitstreaming 16-channel Atmos.
7.1 DDP Atmos is not supported by LG TVs’ internal player, which makes it pointless in that context.
As a result, 5.1-channel Atmos is the only practical and compatible choice which is why the script default to it.
