Hi Marc, I believe it expects the “spatial media” metadata to be written in the file for VLC to interpret it as ambisonic. It worked for me in the past. Yes, it’s a shame that it is completely undocumented, especially since it was advertised as one of the cool new features of VLC 3.
The decoder is also possible to playback 3rd-order AmbiX files, with a more convoluted process. With a bit of digging I realized VLC uses a fixed decoder with 27 loudspeakers, the 20 on the vertices of a dodecahedron, and 7 more on the horizontal plane. I was able to replace the stock HRTF filters for these directions coming with VLC, with a hand-crafted SOFA file of own HRTFs, with good results.
