Were you launching the .ssif file directly? Was it an .iso? Or are you doing it some other way? I wanted to try it the way you are and see what happens as my TV will be more than happy to put the SBS together if I can get it over there...

cleaner450 Wrote: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

I simply put "3DBD" into the filename.

3D-SBS / FULL 3D / STEREOSCOPIC 3D /

o.O

It's simple really.

3D SBS (Side by Side) Looks like this:

I'm guessing Full 3D just means there's no black bars at the top or bottom.

Stereoscopic 3D is just to distinguish from Anaglyph 3D (Cyan/Red)

so after reading some more, i think i'll sum it up this way...

HDMI 1.3 handles HALF Side-by-Side 3D (960x1080p on both frames)

HDMI 1.4a handles FULL Side-by-Side 3D + FULL Top/Bottom 3D (1920x1080p on both frames)

End of story.

Cool. Well we can all enjoy 3D movies now Nod

I don't understand why some people don't like 3D.
