With proper GPU and TMT5 or PDVD11, there is no confusion. Give it a shot! Smile

maybe an overscan/underscan problem...

in the aspect ratio settings of the tv, use the setting "just scan"

on the pc disable the overscan/underscan setting by setting it to 0

see if that works for you

Hunter2... how did you label your movies so the thumb shows it as a 3d movie.. Mine have been not finding the images for the thumb with the 3d in the title

Also what Skin are you using... it looks really nice!

Thanks for the help

ohh and my 3D movies work fine in XBMC

With this type of naming, it'll ensure that only 3D movie playback using external player and other formats still playback using XBMC!

Thanks for the reply..

So now I am a bit confused on 3d playback.. I have 3d movies that I have played through xbmc that were sbs and I just had my tv set them together to make it 3d. Now it seemed to work fine but are you say you should play them through TMT5. So do you launch that program through xbmc?

sorry I just got xbmc up like 2 days ago and am still learning. one other thing if you may know this.. its driving me crazy..

I loaded about 60 snes roms and wanted to find out the best / fastest way to get the thumbnails attached. Is there a way to search for all at once like you can with your movie collection.

I hope I dont have to search for each roms thumb

I took 3 half sbs 3d files to a friends house....he set his samsung tv to sbs and the 3 files played just fine through xbmc live on a revo 1600

not arguing on if xbmc is technically supporting it or not....it just works

WE ALL WE GOT

Just put it this way- if you like what you saw with SBS, you don't have to use TMT5.

As far as TMT5, the 3D looked very similar to the 3D on the standalone blu-ray player to me. If you want to try it, they have the free trial version. If you like how it looks, you can use it as XBMC external player and you still can enjoy XBMC front-end (mainly library).
