Netflix Atmos on MI Box/Shield TV - works with Kodi

by pjgowtham

Even if you have the proper atmos AVR with in-ceiling speakers, it all boils down to whether if streaming services would like certifying the android box as compatible for atmos. Customers shouldn't be the victims of a trade war between two companies and that's where the netflix input stream for kodi comes into play.

Any movie that shows up as DOLBY-HD on kodi means it can play atmos. I verified with my denon x3300w and can confirm that it works. Its not True HD atmos, but DD+ atmos. So, it's a compressed audio file but it's better than nothing.

Kodi is not usually layman friendly and the netflix input stream doesn't have a full fledged UI, but it plays movies better than the native netflix app.

none of the streaming platforms offer TrueHD Atmos.....they are all lossy DD+ atmos....also there is no such thing as DTS-HD atmos ;)

You mean it's Dolby True-HD Atmos, DTS-HD is from a different company.
