Btw have you tried @doppingkoala DV on your x96plus? You will be amazed to get DV on that.

I have never done it myself, but have read up on it before.

Its essentially a two stage process, first you need to have a decrypted BD Disc (I guess BDMV and/or ISO) or MVC-MKV (both can be easily obtained with MakeMKV) and then use https://www.videohelp.com/software/BD3D2MK3D.

It is a reencode though, so you can lose quality depending on your settings and it might take a while, but the tool can essentially convert MVC into any half/full format of TAB, SBS, FS.

New CoreELEC user here, just got the Ugoos A6B+ going with Kodi 21. Loving it!

I Google’d MVC playback and have been catching up on this thread.

I’m excited to see it looks like developers are closing in on solving/adding 3D playback! I have a few hundred Mkv and Iso rips that I’ve been using a Z9X for with my Awol 3500. Looks good but I’m excited to leave that clunky gui behind and move on to Kodi with CoreELEC!

So newb question, I tried downloading the dev tar update from a few days ago, but upon installing it froze my ugoos and I had to revert back to the latest nightly. Is that because I’m on Kodi 21 or did I miss a step?

Hey Mozy,

no that should work in principle. I tried updating to the latest dev build in this thread from CE19.5 and from the latest nightly CE21. One thing you need to be careful with: Set CE to 1080p for the GUI resolution before updating, else you get flicker and nothing works. At least that happened to me when it was set to 4k prior to updating.

Hi,
I’m following this thread with huge interest and respect to the work done on this as 3D is only thing I’m missing from my current CE box. Unfortunately I had no luck to try this.
My box is NOKIA 8010. I have installed stable CE21 NG. Wired network didn’t work but wireless was working. After update from this thread latest devel wireless stopped working completely so I can’t access files over network.
I have a questions. Will this eventually go into NE (NO) builds also afterwork is completed on this feature?

And if anyone have suggestion how to make network work on my NOKIA 8010 box for this devel version please let me know.

Thanks.

@Xenothar thanks for the tip! That was my problem. 3D FP works and looks awesome!!

I wanted to confirm that this threads Dev builds are only working in HD flavors at the moment, is that correct?

I get bad playback and flicker and then freeze/crash if I try and play a 4K UHD title unless I switch back to Nightly builds.

This build test 3D only.

@Portisch Is it possible to add WiFi to your last build while we wait for next development thx.
