Very Strange as they recently launched a dolby atmos speaker ( studio) looks like they have shot them selves in the foot. Again.

last night I watch Jack Ryan second season episode 4 and 5 on an Nvidia Shield TV 2017 in Dolby Atmos, I tried Carnival Row that was also in Atmos, But Suspira as still in 5,1. it seems that Dolby Atmos is back on Amazon Prime Video. i am happy again but i don't know for how long or if they will have more offeringsin Dolby Atmos.
Good to hear the return of Atmos. However I do believe Jack Ryan S2 had Atmos. Cas also mentioned that in his review of the time.No you didn't.
Only the first searies of Gack Syan had Atmos so it would be impossible for you to have watched the seconond series with it even if Amazon still included Atmos soundtrackas.
The second series of Jack Ryan has never included Atmos.
But yes, Atmos does appear to be back and Carnival Row is now once again showing Atmos when played.
I can only speak from personal experience, and Cas's Review & the posts by jwsg on the discussion you linked to seem to back that up.Neither was it listed here as having Atmos:
Everything on Amazon Prime Video in HDR10+, Dolby Vision, and/or Dolby Atmos | High-Def Digest
'The latest news on all things 4k Ultra HD, Blu-ray and Gear'www.highdefdigest.com
I've been using that article to pinpoint which content included Atmos and or Dolby Vision.
Important thing at the end of the Day is that it is in Atmos now.
Yep, it's very strange their approach to it.Yay, that make 2 seasons of one series and Carnival Row,
I think that they may be spoiling us? I'm overwhelmed and may need to get myself a glass of water.
LOL
Yes, in all seriousness, their seeming desire to hide the highest quality versions is a complete mystery to me.I think it less a case of them teasing and more a case of them being inept? There's no continuity to anything relating to the Amazon Prime Video service. It really is like a game of chance. You have to search for 4K content and invriably end up starting to watch HD releases before the 4K version even shows up as being available. This would be more excusable were it not for the fact that Amazon has immense resources at it disposal to ensure they have a better service than the one they provide.
Totally agree.Why they need to include both the HD and the UHD version is more baffling? Why not simply do as Netflix do and provide access to the version/resolution the hardware supports? Who's opting to purposefully play the HD version when and if there's a 4K UHD version available?
With Netflix you can control the quality from the account settings to limit it. It's not ideal rather than it being per device, but it's still significantly better than Amazon.Netflix don't provide an option to access a lower resolution version, but you'd need to be a premium subscriber to access the UHD content. If you've a premium subscription and if the hardware is compliant then you'd simply get the 4K variant. If using less capable hardware then you'd get the HD version even if you are a premium subscriber.
I concede that those with a bandwidth allowance may wish to avoid the 4K content because of the greater bandwidth demands. I'm sure that Amazon could account for this in a better way than having to include access to both variants though. Even if it couldn't be done globally or even if it isn't possible to include a resolution selection option then why list the same content in 2 seperate entries and why not list the HD as well as the UHD versions in the same entry?
Yep, that's been my approach for quite a while. I watch Amazon Stuff via the app on our ATV 4K but never bother using that to look for stuff.The easiest way I've found of sourcing the 4K versions is to use the Amazon internet site and add the titles to my watchlist there as opposed to searching for such content via the app.
4K content seems to be accessible via the site in advance of the app, but if you add the title to your watchlist via the site then it will appear in the watchlist on the app.
I noticed yesterday that the Amazon original film Honey Boy (which is really good btw) had been added to Prime.
Started it up last night and to my surprise it was in HDR (HDR10) and Atmos!
Randomly it's not titled as one of their UHD titles, like they do with other stuff, but there was a small HDR tag included along with the other tags. No mention of Atmos anywhere though but my AVR got an Atmos signal and duly played it.
So very random.
Thanks for that. So, as usual, the "Help" Desks don't know what is really going on. Surprise, surprise!Apparently the dropping of Dolby technology was a fault
Amazon Prime Video to get Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos back soon
