and what’s the problem if Full-SBS/TAB are played back as frame packed?
The TV seems to get confused about the size of the picture and is also not treating it as side-by-side so you don’t get any 3d. I say confused about the size of the picture because I typically end up with whatever picture is showing being in the bottom right hand quarter corner of the screen. If I didn’t know better I would guess its treating the picture as 19201080 but centered in a 38402160 screen though still only running with a 1920*1080 resolution and without interpreting the side-by-side nature of the video (if you get what I mean).
Are you using whitelisted resolutions? If yes, then you need to add the Full-SBS/TAB resolutions.
Just checked - I don’t have anything set in the whitelist.
Maybe there’s a misunderstanding here: the clip is encoded as Full-SBS but the Vero converts it into frame packed before it’s sent to the TV. So the TV doesn’t (and need not) know anything about the Full-SBS encoding. The clip is just played as any other MVC source.
Oh, then yes I misunderstood. Thanks for clarifying (I really appreciate your help on this). So then does that mean I’ve missed setting up something in BD2D2MK3D so that Vero can do that conversion. As I mentioned earlier, the video stereo mode flag is set in the mkv (a value of 1) but is there perhaps something else I should be checking for?
I’m currently on vacation and don’t have access to my PC and V. What would help is a debug log. But I won’t have time to look at it until I’m back in two weeks.
To get a better understanding of the problem you are experiencing we need more information from you. The best way to get this information is for you to upload logs that demonstrate your problem. You can learn more about how to submit a useful support request here.
Depending on the used skin you have to set the settings-level to standard or higher, in summary:
-
enable debug logging at settings->system->logging
-
reboot the OSMC device twice(!)
-
reproduce the issue
-
upload the log set (all configs and logs!) either using the
Log Uploadermethod within the My OSMC menu in the GUI or thesshmethod invoking commandgrab-logs -A -
publish the provided URL from the log set upload, here
Thanks for your understanding. We hope that we can help you get up and running again shortly.

Sure… Thank you. And I’ll leave you in peace to enjoy your vacation! Have a good time!

I ordered it last week and am eagerly awaiting its delivery.
We will be up to date on all orders at the start of the week.

I finally got it! The FSBS movies play great! The ones encoded in h.264 that is. The h.265 ones are messed up in one eye. Also, 3D subs do not work. They show double and when I try to disable them, just stay burned onto the screen.
Are you trying to output FSBS HEVC as frame packed?
I think that HEVC based full SBS won’t be possible, because we’d need to leverage two decoders (as things currently stand) simultaneously to handle this, but I may be wrong. The frame packed output is partially handled by the H264MVC decoder and H265 does not have any understanding of this at all. It certainly won’t be signalling frame packed output to HDMI
3D video was an H264 affair.
@tanio99 will be able to explain / correct what I have written.
I am sure it is possible – but 3D HEVC isn’t really a thing.
Thank you. Luckily only my latest 3D Blurays were encoded with h265. I will reencode them.
What about 3D subtitles? The Antman clip I posted earlier has 3D subs.
3D subtitles should work perfectly under H264.
H265 won’t engage the same 3D subtitle logic. There was never any planning about it. A significant amount of 3D windowing code will not even get triggered unless the H264 MVC fourcc is triggered. So there is no chance of it showing properly (subtitling included) before we get to the decoder stage.
Use your original Blu-ray source, don’t go from x265->x264 or you will lose further quality.
The 3D subtitles work? The 3D subtitles don’t work on the h264 encoded ones I tried. I even tried Ant Man which is included in one of my posts above. They keep showing up doubled on the screen. I can’t turn them off even when I toggle the subtitles.
If you reencode your clips then you will loose the 3D depth information that is part of the stream.
That has nothing to do with H265. The problem is that you loose all the 3D depth info when you reencode a clip.
You’re wrong in that case. There’s no need for two decoders. The real issue here is that the VPU handles HEVC material differently than H264 one. The VPU needs to be programmed differently and we don’t have the documentation for it. I have some ideas but no time. It will be a try and error approach. I’ve put that topic on my todo list.
Thanks for clarifying 
I will rerip all the 3D’s needed to change to h264. No need to worry about me trying to encode the 265’s to 264’s directly.
I ripped and encoded a movie last night, and it works great. I even tried new 3D subtitle settings. They are not forced on the screen like before, but they still show up double when I turn them on.
