It is only updating to October version - I am on Vero 4k. Is there something I can do to force the update?
Thanks
Sorry ā the October update is the latest version. It was released in early November.

Hi
So, itās not working.
I am using the Disney Brave 3d bluray disc - I know it is only 3D on there because there are 2 discs - one ordinary bluray and one 3d.
I used makemkv to pull out /BDMV/STREAM/00962.m2ts into an mkv. Straight - no processing or anything. This plays perfectly as 3d from the vero through my projector.
When I use the external drive with the Bluray in it I try all three of the options that show correct length and correct number of chapters on the simple menu. They all play beautifully in 2d. But I have tried all kinds of projector and forcing through the video menu 3d options and no good. None of them play in 3d.
I have made a log but the system said it is too big to upload.
however I found this, where you can see it seems to think 3d is there but then it fails to pick it up and plays with the 3d flag off:

you can see from the time stamps where I snipped out a lot of repetitive lines
sorry that I canāt really understand what is going on.
I have the same disk here and will try to reproduce that issue later today.
Can you try some other disks, too? Iād just like to know if itās only related to this disk?
Thanks for looking at this
Same for each disk I tried (Spielbergās Adventures of Tintin, Megamind and Inside Out)
I didnāt bother turning them into MKV though because that clearly works (very very well)
Brave is my favourite thoughā¦ : )
I should also say that I made a dd copy of the whole disk to an ISO file and had the same issue as with the actual physical disk.
Thatās weird. Iāve tried with āBraveā but it seems I donāt have the keys for it, so it isnāt really recognized. Iāve also tried with Alita and Gravity and both are working.
Can you reboot twice and then try again with one disc? And then post the debug logs please.
Thanks. I was just able to reproduce it here. Iāll have a look!

My mistake, the changes that @tanio99 is referring to are not part of a stable release yet. They are in the staging repository.
To test this update:
- Login via the command line
- Run the following command to add the staging repository:
echo 'deb http://apt.osmc.tv bullseye-devel main' | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/osmc-devel.list - Run the following commands to update:
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade && reboot - Your system should have have received the update.
Please see if the issue is resolved.
I also recommend you remove /etc/apt/sources.list.d/osmc-devel.list after updating.
This will deactivate the staging repository. You can do so with the following command:
sudo rm /etc/apt/sources.list.d/osmc-devel.list.
Please note that we will automatically disable this update channel after 14 days on your device in case you forget to do so to ensure that your system reverts to the stable update channel.
Hi
I have updated using your instructions and the changes made by @tanio99 have kicked in.
Soā¦ I can now see perfect 3D Blu ray directly from the physical disk
That is to say the 3D looks perfectly 3D, but (as I think Tanio99 said elsewhereā¦) it is jittery to the point of being completely unwatchable.
The obvious question (just for curiosity as I know nothing) is why can the decoding and sending be done from what is (I believe) the same video stream in mkv but not from the Blu Ray (presumably ts)?
Is some unencoding done in advance by making the mkv or is the quality actually lower and I donāt know it - I thought it was just a repackagingā¦
Last question is - is the Vero V powerful enough to do this on the fly even if the 4k+ isnāt?
Many thanks, as always, for your amazing work - feels like it is really close and I am very happy to have the other DVD and Blu rays working from physical media.
Cheers
Can we test if it is the physical aspect by accessing the dd copy of ISO (which seems to be failing for me at the moment)
I saw that one coming 
.
The problem is that the 3rd party library that Kodi is using for BluRay playback does not support decryption of two video tracks (for left and right views) in parallel, or in other words: it doesnāt support 3d playback.
Iāve tried to add the missing parts for the second track so now 3D MVC can be detected but the library doesnāt spit out the decrypted frames fast enough. Iāve no idea what causes the delay since it always works for a couple of seconds until it freezes. I suppose that itās a shortcoming of that library. The devs did not expect that one would need decryption of two video tracks in parallel.
Now, Iāve added that support and I suppose that the decryption process of the two tracks might block each other.
No, thatās not related with creating mkvs. These are two different use cases or āapplicationsā. The quality is the same.
Unfortunately, itās the same there. Thatās why I think itās a kind of blocking issue.
Sounds like a reasonable theory for what is going on - a library that was intended to be usable for 3D would build in the parallel processing capability but if another library didnāt intend for that it could easily find itself having to take turns with the two streams. That means no matter if the HW is powerful enough the processes just have to take it in turn as they are queueing at the same doorway.
Given that (as far as I would imagine) space is not at a premium, in theory, I suppose, if anyone could find a library that was good for Blu ray 3d playback it could be switched to when, and only when, 3D is required and not compromise existing BD functionality. Whether any such thing exists now that 3D blu ray is no longer fashionable seems unlikely I supposeā¦
Thanks again for the explanation - looks like an MKV library on the network of favourites is the way forward.
When I find some time Iāll have another look at it, but I canāt promise anything. MKV is the way to go, right.

Shame though - the 3D quality looks great straight off the Blu ray and those MKVs are pretty massive!! Iāll hang on the thread in case you come up with anything new. Cheers
