Comment on KDE Plasma Bigscreen (Android TV alternative) is back from dead
JingoBingo@lemmy.world 1 day agoUnlikely, Dolby tech support requires that the license for Vision or Atmos etc has been bought for that particular machine. Never seen a media player where the end user can buy the license separately.

MS do sell Atmos (and DTS:X) support as an individually licensed thing, threough Dolby Access and DTS Sound Unbound on their store.
I do wonder how it could work in Linux, as well as getting things like commercial streaming services in 4K.
Presumably some sort of black box hardware would be needed (for the super top secret Widevine L1 shit), the manufacturer of that can pay the Dolby fees, and then just some basic open source code to call the hardware features.
