All,
My setup is Kodi 15.2 running on Windows 7. Video is done through Core i3 (Sandy Bridge) on board graphics. I'm connected to a Denon x3200w via HDMI.
In Kodi, audio output is set to pass-through via WASAPI. TrueHD and DTS-HD MA are correctly passed through and detected by the AVR (info button on the AVR will show it's receiving TrueHD and DTS-MA when playing movies with those streams).
The first Atmos movie I tried was Pixels. I'm using the latest version of MakeMKV to rip Blu-Ray discs to MKV. MakeMKV correctly identified the presence of an Atmos extended TrueHD track and I selected both the core and extended tracks when ripping.
When I play back the movie with Kodi, the AVR only indicates it's receiving TrueHD instead of Atmos. When I play the physical disc via my Panasonic Blu-Ray player (also connected to the Denon), it correctly indicates Dolby Atmos.
What step did I miss?
Thanks!

Re: Problem with atmos bitstream via Kodi
Got it working and it was user error. On my Denon receiver you can tell it to process an Atmos signal as Atmos or TrueHD. I had it set to process it correctly on the input my Blu-ray player is connected to but not the input the HTPC is connected to. That input was still set to process Atmos as TrueHD. Once I set it correctly, my Atmos movies are correctly being detected as Atmos by the AVR when played through Kodi.
