I've been using the app for several months and I have to say that it's constantly being developed.
It's fun to try out the new features, and often they're things that improve or simplify the way you work.
I'm absolutely thrilled and can recommend the app without reservation.
A huge thank you to the developer.

If your old receiver can't decode Atmos streams of the latest movies, this GUI can transcode the content to DTS 5.1 so your receiver can play it. Much appreciated.
