Support for 5.1 surround sound

Open kcajjones opened this issue 2 years ago • 6 comments

YouTube official app supports 5.1 surround sound on my Sony X900h TV.

The same videos don't offer an option for 5.1 audio on the STN app.

I can confirm that these two videos have a 5.1 surround button available on the gui that is automatically enabled on my TV. I have a Denon x3300w connected via hdmi to an earc adapter to my Sony x900h.

smarttubenext does play them correctly but it never selects them by default even thought the system supports it. might be cool to allow an audio preset as well.

Pretty sure it defaulted to the surround track a year ago, but that has changed. If we could set a preference list (ie DD+ > DD > Opus) that would be great.

I am not even able to select surround sound on newest Chromecast. Other apps and official YT app sounds fine but SmartTube nevers works.

Yeah surround sound is not defaulting for surround videos. Would be great if that was fixed.
