MSattler 385 Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 All, How are you guys currently playing back 3D BluRay's in KODI? Can Kodi playback Folder based BluRay 3D movies? Does an external player need to be used? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
im85288 1493 Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 I haven't tried blurays, but have played 3D movies with no problems. It should ask you to select the format (sbs etc) when you play the movie. No external players or anything like that are required Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean I know it can play BluRay folders with no issue, just am not sure on 3D. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That will only work if the movie has been ripped as a HSBS FSBS or any of the other partial resolution formats. If it is a folder rip it will play the 2D version. If you want to play a full resolution 3D rip in folder or MKV MVC format you need an external player Stereoscopic Player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xnappo 1588 Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 FSBS is not partial resolution. (unless I am wrong ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No your right, I mis worded that slightly. It should be HSBS and other partial resolution rips. But I thought I read somewhere that even FSBS is not full 3D. I do know I had a hard time getting files to rip in that format and it took forever. I have since gone to 3D MVC MKV files and use stereoscopic player launched from Kodi. Seems to work pretty well.

So I decided to switch to Raspberry Pi 2's which have a 3D decoder built into the board. MVC rips via makemkv work perfect and TrueHd is decoded into PCM as well. Pretty sweet! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hifiaudio2 46 Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 Does the pi2 and Kodi okay back 3d ISO as well? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
