The VideoLAN Forums

Hi! I'm a developer for a music player app using VLCKit.
I noticed that VLCMediaPlayer can only play stereo in its default settings.
I have enabled support multichannel content for AVAudioSession and it works for AVAudioPlayer & AVAudioEngine, but not VLCMediaPlayer.
Is there something that I need to enable to enable support? Can't seem to find it.

VLCKit supports multichannel on any platform, however iOS and tvOS devices usually only have a stereo DAC. If you plugin a multichannel DAC, it will be supported. However, there is also Spatial Audio and that is only supported correctly in version 4 that is currently still under development. Early tvOS versions also supported multi-channel raw audio rendering ("passthrough") to external rendering systems, but it was removed by Apple in tvOS 12.

Thanks for the reply. Looking forward to V4
