This is cool!

Please can anyone tell me how I can get VLC to
feed 4.0 or 5.1 or whatever ambisonic sound
format is available from this video -- ideally
directly to my RME UFX (through the "speakers"
option in the Windows applet)? Alternatively, B
format. All I can get at present is stereo.

If VLC is the problem (although I can play my
surround audio files with it), what DOES work?

Thanks,

David

VLC should work. They're are ambisonic to 5.0 and 7.0 decoders now
included...... I'll have a play around......

Cheers

Since when? They are not in VLC v3.0.4 which claims to be current, nor
does the VLC wiki contain the word Ambisonic.

Bruce's posting reminded me to upgrade VLC to 3.0.4.

It says here https://www.videolan.org/vlc/releases/3.0.0.html : "VLC
supports 360 video and 3D audio, up to Ambisonics 3rd order"

In the basic installation, there is an "Ambisonics renderer and
binauralizer" plugin listed under "Tools/Plugins and extensions". I
dont know whether it needs some action to install it, but in any
case, I am not interested in Binaural.

In April 2014 (how time flies!), when I was putting some test 4.0
multichannel .mp4 files on my website, I feel sure that I had them
play back locally through VLC, but I could be mistaken, and I cant
recall how I might have done it.

I presume it is being rendered as a binaural sound track for headphones
- certainly the audio image moves around when you rotate the displayed
image in the browser window. I imagine this is being done at YouTube
in response to the browser passing back the required panning position.
