Hello everyone!

1.) I am using VLC version 2.2.5.1 on Linux.

2.) When play a video file with surround sound (with pass-through enabled) I will see Dolby Digital 5.1 on my Audio / Video receive (AVR).

3.) When I try to play an Atmos based file my AVR shows Linear PCM 2.0 and not passing the bitstream through.

4.) Does VLC support Dolby Digital+ or Atmos?

Thanks for your thoughts or additional information.

Can anyone comment on VLC version 2.2.5.1 and passing through Atmos bitstream audio content?

To do bitstreaming of Dolby Digital + and Atmos, you need VLC 3.0

Hello Jean.

1.) I am trying to compile VLC with hardware acceleration on a Raspbian distribution of Linux. I'd like to get VLC versoin 3.0 but in the tar/gzip format.

2.) I have previously downloaded the source code for VLC 2.2.51 from the following link:

http://download.videolan.org/pub/videolan/vlc/

3.) When I look on this same link I don't find VLC 3.0 anywhere. Where can I get this?

Thank you.
