XBMC 13 and above will have build in support for 3d video playback.
Many playback mode to choose from. Here is red-cyan mode ( need red-cyan 3d glasses to watch) rclxms.gif

the best way to run XBMC is PC/desktop computer...from what i understand rasberry Pi and android doesnt for 3d playback.
owned 2 android tv dongle but all suffer from 1080 video ( frames drop). have to use external player like MX player to play 1080 video by edit the playercorefactory.xml files.

Raspberry Pi is a great device and cheap for xbmc.
only issue is when u have thousand if movies, it will take forever to load.

for those who looking for device that run xbmc with no problem, mini desktop pc will be the best option. ie:Acer Revo L

Hi paskal
how do u use external scraper?
Need to store movie info into movie folder
thanks

there are few movie scraping software outside...the one im using is MediaElch ( in case xbmc didnt scrape movie info property).
MediaElch will scrape movie info and save in to movie folder.

xbmc scraping is still the best and the most automated one.
just add movie folder, set which scraper to use, and let it run.

to be safe, just export video info to its individual folder.
by doing so i can bring my HD to any pc and play with xbmc without rescraping the movie info.
all 2000++ info will be there wherever i go.

Hi, how you edit playercorefactory.xml ? Can you guide me?
I use android tv box when start watching movie was ok, after awhile the picture and sound not match. But when i watch on note3 and note 10 both was ok. I think is the android tv box not power enough.

i use MXplayer as my player.
download this attachment
Attached File  playercorefactory.txt ( 1.72k ) Number of downloads: 68

rename it to playercorefactory.xml
and paste it into location Android/data/org.xbmc.xbmc/files/.xbmc/userdata/

when u want to play media files, press "C" to bring out the menu and select "play using"

*different android device might have different configuration, so try see this work for u.

Thanks. I will try on it. So xbmc set to use software decode or hardware?
I was using tvbox. No 'c' for me. I try all key on remote also no option for me set the player.

should have way to bring up contextual menu.
dunno how your tvbox work.
honestly i have no idea how to bring contextual menu up without a keyboard on android box doh.gif

btw since disable the hardware accelaration (mediacodec) will solve 1080 video problem, guess editing the playercorefactory.xml is not necessary for now. smile.gif
