Youtube 5.1?

Question

Youtube 5.1?

I notice that while using the Apple TV, 5.1 audio content comes thru the Netflix app. The Youtube app does not seem to pass 5.1 audio content. Anyone know why?

It's a bit of a shame that the Apple TV youtube app doesn't support 5.1. Youtube has heaps of 5.1 audio...

No, Youtube doesn't support 5.1 audio. It's not just the ATV app.

People can upload or say whatever they want, doesn't mean it's actually 5.1

Still stands that there are none available. End of the day it's not an Apple TV issue so there's nothing more to say
