I have been uploading 360 videos to the 360 Videos folder on the Samsung Gear VR micro SD card for some time now. All these videos have been with stereo sound. I am now ready to upload videos with 360 binaural sound, which will respond the motion of the head and stay in sync with the changing video. How can I do this? I see that the Strangers Patrick Watson video has separate sound files. Is this the way to go?
I got it to work too, with 4-channel spatial audio recorded with a Zoom H2n!
However, I'm having an odd problem when I try to use 5.1 channel audio. It either works with spatial sound in theater mode, or without spatial sound in 360 mode. If the file is named video.mkv, it plays in theater mode and the soundscape is spatialized. If I simply rename the file to video_360.mkv, it plays in 360 but the audio does not spatialize.
So... do 360 videos only support 4-channel spatialization?
