There's only sound on this Blu ray, no images? Would this matter when you would rip it and would play it via Infuse as you do your movies?

Hi @ninecows 

Thanks for your post!

As ​​​@106rallye states, there shouldn’t be an issue if you rip your BluRay as a movie, so that you end up with a mp4 or mkv file that you still play through your TV.

If you want to rip to an audio file, however, this will not be playable - surround sound audio is currently only supported via Home Theatre or supported streaming services (Amazon and Apple), not via Music Library.

I hope this helps.

Thanks. I will try to rip as movie and report back.
 

I know that 5.1 music is a niche thing, but it still feels stupid to turn your tv on, select a “movie” and have your tv show a dark screen in order to play music in surround.

It’s clearly a workaround and the convenience of just selecting the album from the Sonos app on your phone is gone. 

Hi @ninecows 

That’s a fair point.

Music Library is used by far fewer people than music services these days, so I assume that getting spatial audio from music services working was therefore a far higher priority than doing so with Music Library. Perhaps Music Library support for spatial audio is in the works already, but my guess is that it would only help a handful of people and therefore hasn’t been considered worth the effort as of yet.

So, I’ll tag this thread as a feature request - it will be seen by the relevant teams for consideration. Thanks for the feedback!

That would be neat, I have several SACDs and DVDs I’d love to hear on my Sonos in surround mode without needing the TV on.
