Full SBS Playback

Hi,

The Vero V DOES support Full SBS…

I did some experimenting, and when you first play a F-SBS movie you get a cropped image like in the first post of this thread… BUT, go into the setting and adjust the pixel ratio all the way to the left (0.50) and the full image is displayed and in 3D…

:slight_smile:

No luck with Full-OU though, it reverts to 2D playback, so no adjustment of the settings will help that…

Sure, but that squeezes the picture and you get basically the same quality as with Half-SBS/TAB.

That makes sense, if you halve the horizontal ratio you get half the definition… But at least I can now play my F-SBS videos without having to recode them to H-SBS until, hopefully, we get true F-SBS support.

We will :slight_smile: !

Just FYI, I’ve got F-SBS/TAB running here now. It needs some more internal testing before we release it. So just stay tuned, the wait is almost over …

Hi

This is now possible in Kodi v21. We have test builds here: [TESTING] Kodi v21 release builds

We plan to release this as a stable release with Kodi v21.1 in a few days.

Looking forward to your feedback

Really?!!! FSBS is working!!! I’ll buy a Vero V soon!

Yes - we expect to release support as a stable update this week

Thank you, thank you, thank you…

The latest update now supports Full-SBS AND Full-OU, and it works flawlessly , at least for H.264 encoded files, it doesn’t like HEVC encoded files, but this is not a huge problem for me as I only have a handful, and I can re-encode them.

Thanks again, this is a huge deal for me.

Can you please post a log playing back an HEVC file as well as the MediaInfo output of such a file?

Many thanks

@Xeth84 time to pick up a device while it’s on sale.

To look at it I would need a 30 second example clip.

I hope this helps…

Thank you in advance.

Thanks, I’ve downloaded it and will take a look after my vacation.

Thank you…

Hope you enjoy your holiday.

Thanks!

A big thanks for implementing this - really excited by it. However I’m trying to get this to work with my LG TV and am having some issues. The TV in question is a a OLED55E6V. I have tried preparing some full size SBS/TB video using BD3D2MK3D. The problem seems to be that on playback, while the TV goes into 3d mode its not seeing the input as SBS or TB (presumably treating it as frame packed, and once its gone into that 3d mode as a result of Vero presumably telling it to do so I can’t manually select a SBS type mode). If I modify the MKV and set the ‘video stereo mode’ to 0 (from say 1 for SBS) then while the TV doesn’t auto switch to 3d (which is expected), I can then select SBS on the TV and the video plays just fine in 3D. Any ideas? Many thanks!

That’s intentional. Do you have any problems with frame packed playback?

None at all and mkvs in that format just work seamlessly. Its just the side-by-side which I’m having an issue with. But if the mkv is a side-by-side why would it be intentional to treat it as frame packed? or is that the tv should be able to see something in the stream (based on the ‘video stereo mode’?) to know its side-by-side when flipped to 3d mode and its not spotting that and just defaulting to frame packed?
