3D problem with videoplayer mode

[Nirox]

Hi, I have a problem when I play a movie in videoplayer mode (when I use the application's desktop mode and play the movie with VLC app in pc I don't have the problem). When I put a 3d movie out-down with bigscreen in videoplayer mode, when the 2d mode is activated, I do not see the movie divided in two, therefore, when I put it in out-down mode the movie is not seen in 3D. How can I fix this problem?

You can cycle through the different 3D modes in the Video Player by going to the settings in it, and clicking on the 3D mode there.

Yes, I know I put it in ou mode because my video is in over-under mode (seen from my pc, it works). But when I go to bigscreen, it doesn't detect it as a 3d movie, even if I use the ou, sbs or 2d mode. Why doesn't bigscreen detect the movie as a 3d movie?

In my experience it looks like the player tries to deliberately avoid working with 3D movies. In case of OU or SBS it seems like it recognises a 3D movie and cuts the frame in order to show a 2D movie.

Yes, I hope that develelopers fix this error.

3D local player and local SBS VR videos currently do not work in the newest drive in theatre update Hope the devs readd this feature soon

Thats nice.. all the 3d Movies that I bought are now useless..

Thanks.


Edit: Interesting though... Virtual desktop does this ... time to start using that.

too bad that one is not as good with the theatre feel.

I've noticed this issue too. However, some videos work and some don't.

I've inspected the differences on the files, and I've seen that the ones that have the 3D flag correctly set on the MKV header (marking the video track as SBS or OU), are played as 2D files, so when 3D mode is enabled on bigscreen, the result is broken.

MKV files that don't have this flag set, shows both images when played, so 3D mode can be enabled.

I think that Bigscreen could ignore the 3D flag on MKV's and play them always "as is".

Sorry for my late reply.

I don't know where exactly is stored this flag on the MKV header. However, the setting is visible on MKVToolnixGUI. On "Video properties", the "Stereoscopy" setting. All videos that don't have this parameter set, play OK in 3D on BigScreen. But those that have this parameter set, they play only in 2D.

Well, I had the same issue, but even after removing that parameter in the header of the file, SBS plays it as a 2D file. (shows as SBS in VLC, but not bigscreen)

:(

Plays 3d fine on my plasma TV, but not my brothers projector, and not in bigscreen. Some files play fine, others don't, and I have no idea what the difference is....it SEEMED to be that header setting but again, removing it made no difference.

I have the same problem with the PC app with Valve index.

It is interesting that with the quest 2 app version I can watch my movies via DLNA with 3d SBS at mkv AND mp4 format

I solved the problem by converting the mkv files to mp4.
you can do this free with the software "Handbrake"

now I can watch my movies with quest 2 and pc


hope this helps
