can XBMC playback 3D Movies?

FenceMan Wrote:Using the one you posted, path to TMT is correct, if I drag an mkv file onto the .exe it runs fine but xbmc says its going to be played in external player then stops responding?

There are several playercorefactory's in my thread, and I'm not sure which one you used. You'll have to post the playercorefactory codes in here in order for me to help you on it.

Here you go, thanks

@FenceMan-
The codes look okay, but there seems to be some conflict in Windows. I generated a new Playercorefactory and Play3D codes for you. You can do as following:

1. Download- Playercorefactory and Play3D
2. Save both files in AppData\Roaming\XBMC\userdata folder
3. Change this path in Playercorefactory code to match the path of Play3D on your HTPC- (C:\Users\Dell\AppData\Roaming\XBMC\userdata\Play3D.bat)
4. Launch XBMC and you try the 3D MKV movie again

I tried it on my HTPC and it worked fine. I hope that it will work on your HTPC too!

Hey Nlutay..... Not sure what I may be doing wrong but I put the .xml file in the correct location and I even changed the file name to match the _3d.mkv and it does not launch TMT and I do not get any errors... it just does not play it through the external player? Any suggestions?

I'm not sure who is Nlutay, but I'll try to help you anyway.

1. Can you show me your userdata folder, and it should be similar to mine below:



2. Can you show me your Playercorefactory codes:

Haha.. I am sorry... Typing on an iPad and not paying attention. ... I was trying to address you.. Bluray.. Thank you for the help. I will send that information over to you tomorrow and let me know what I am doing wrong. Still learning a ton about XBMC. I love it!

First off thanks for the help.

This does work as does other as I discovered if I set xbmc to run in a full screen window, is that normally needed? Also is there any advantage to using external player if internal is handling my half sbs files fine?

I'm glad that it work out for you!

I watched 3D movie on a standalone blu-ray player and watched the same 3D movie on HTPC using TMT5. The 3D looked identical on blu-ray player and TMT5 to me. You can compare 3D using XBMC vs. 3D using TMT5, and you can make your own judgement afterward!

Thanks I will try, spent so much time setting up haven't actually watched it....
