I know this has been discussed, but I was hoping we could collaborate to generate a list of titles and players that are known broken or working. I know the Oppo threads are filled with unhappy people, but this is not just affecting that player. There have been reports of Sony players with issues, and my own older Samsung has audio drop-outs as well.
Thus far, I believe everyone has successfully resolved the issue by setting the player to PCM output, but it is annoying to have to switch, and obviously if you actually have an Atmos setup you don't exactly have the choice to switch.
I suppose what I'm hoping for is, for any Atmos titles, something like:
[*] / -> /
Where the status is either a pass or fail based on whether the player was able to flawlessly bitstream the entire disc without audio/video anomalies -- so far, it seems audio dropouts are the only anomaly found.
If you'd like to be more specific that's great, too. Just please comment under the
[*] line. This is in case we get enough responses to warrant a thread scraper to pull out all the pass/fails and create some better statistics. I can just make the scraper look for all lines that start with
[*] and ignore everything else and auto-generate a spreadsheet. To help with this, if you'd also include separate lines (starting with
[*]) for each fail/pass that'd be awesome!
At the very least, maybe this thread can compile a list of titles people should be wary of / boycott if they don't want to run up against issues. Or maybe we'll get lucky and Lionsgate will stop with their stupid authoring techniques! If not, it can also serve as a buying guide to those that want/need a working player for these titles.
Finally, I'd be very curious about people successfully streaming these to Atmos receivers and actually playing back in Atmos -- though, at the moment, I'd suppose those folks are far and few in between.
I'll start:
[*] John Wick / Samsung BD-C5500 -> Denon 4311ci / fail
