Dolby Atmos (Specifically Transformers) question

I have downloaded and built the latest 1.9.1 of MakeMKV for Linux. When I pop in my Transformers: Age of Extinction Blu Ray, I get two Audio tracks, both labeled "DD Surround 5.1 English".
I don't see a TruHD stream with Atmos like I would expect. Am I missing something?

Any non spammers have any ideas?

For what its worth, I tried the Windows version of MakeMKV and the TrueHD track showed up. Does the Linux version 1.9.1 not support TrueHD tracks?

I case you hadn't noticed, your video track has an audio track child, which quite simply isn't possible.
Since you're using Linux, I suggest you download the correct libraries and rebuild the program from scratch.

If I remember correctly, there is a special library needed to process ATMOS audio. It's not required, though.
Found it:
Code: Select all
On Linux, you must compile with the latest ffmpeg from snapshot in order to get Atmos support. Building MakeMKV with latest released ffmpeg will not work.

Yeah, really weird.
I followed the directions word for word for installing under Ubuntu Linux, rebuilt from scratch - same thing.
I ended up moving the blu ray drive to my windows desktop, I'll just rip from there...
thanks

Just to make sure if someone else comes across this the proper way to do this is following:
1) If applicable make sure you first remove both preconfigured makemkv-bin makemkv-oss directories if you are installing same version, in other words delete preconfigured then uncompress new directories to configure
> Step 1 is very important, if installing same version and if you omit it and follow steps below you will NOT compile with necessary libraries to see TrueHD
2) I choose to follow uninstall instructions here

http://www.makemkv.com/forum2/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=3924
# Remove the config files
rm -fr ~/.MakeMKV
# Remove the actual program
sudo rm /usr/bin/makemkv
sudo rm /usr/bin/makemkvcon
> Not sure if 100% necessary but these are my steps
3) Follow the install guide here for Linux

sudo apt-get install libfdk-aac0 libfdk-aac1 libfdk-aac-dev

4) Build makemkv-oss under the OPTIONAL section
5) Build makemkv-bin as normal
If configured correctly you will have to accept makemkv license agreement. You may have to reenter your registration code.
Hope this helps.

I had 2 issues with this...
1. libfdk-aac1 doesn't appear to exist; any help on how to download this?
2. even without libfdk-aac1, I still get the libfdk_aac not found error in red.
