I have uploaded to Youtube movies with 5.1, I see files with 5.1 audio in the manifest of all the versions/resolutions available to players, but I have never been able to find a player that would play them.

I've been getting 5.1 with YouTube TV for about a week. When the free trial is over, I'm switching from DirecTV Stream to save about fifty bucks a month.
