3D detection
Kodi has three ways to detect whether a videofile is a 3D video. These methods are checked in the following order:
Embedded streaminfo
First, Kodi tries to detect the stereoscopic mode for a video when extracting streamdetails from the videofile.
One of the supported fields is the 'Stereomode' field in the Matroska specification: http://matroska.org/technical/specs/index.html#StereoMode
Manual selection
When playing a video, you can bring up the video settings dialog to manually select the stereoscopic mode.
If you've done this before, Kodi will remember this setting and use it as the second method to detect the stereoscopic mode of a videofile.
Video filenames flags
The third and final method is detection through the filename of the video.
Kodi uses regular expressions to check for certain flags in the filename.
In order to properly detect the stereomode, two tags need to be present in the filename.
First, a '3D' tag has to be present that matches the following regex: [-. _]3d[-. _]
In addition to this, either a 'SBS' tag [-. _]h?sbs[-. _] or a 'TAB' flag [-. _]h?tab[-. _] must be present in the filename.
You can customize these regular expressions through the Advancedsettings.xml file.
Regex matching is done case-insensitive, so for example either .3d. and .3D. will work.
Note: the tags need be be surrounded be either a space ( ), hyphen -, dot . or underscore _.
See the table below for some examples:
| 3D | Stereoscopic side-by-side | Stereoscopic top-and-bottom |
|---|---|---|
| .3D. | .sbs. | .tab. |
| -3d- | .SBS. | .TAB. |
| 3d | .HSBS. | .HTAB. |
| _3d_ | -hsbs- | -htab- |
| .3D- | _sbs_ | _tab_ |
| 3D. | SBS | TAB |
| .3D | sbs | tab |
| -SBS | -TAB | |
| HSBS_ | HTAB_ |
- Filename examples
- moviename (year).3d.hsbs.mkv
- moviename 3d sbs.mkv
- moviename.3D-HTAB.mkv
- moviename-3D.sbs-720p.mkv
For other filename flags examples.
Platform specific info
General
- Hardware acceleration is not provided for full SBS or full TAB movies, meaning users will need playback hardware with adequate CPU power.
- Kodi's "window mode" in Settings -> System -> Video output must use normal "Full screen" and not "Full screen window".
Windows
- "3D Stereoscopic Support" in the video driver settings must be turned off.
ARM (Android, iOS, Raspberry Pi)
- 3D modes anaglyph and interlaced are not currently supported on ARM platforms (such as Android, iOS, Raspberry Pi, or other linux-based ARM distros) due to those platforms using OpenGLES rather than OpenGL or DirectX.
