Even if there might be other anaglyph methods that are based on other colors, Red/Cyan glasses are the most popular and easy to obtain.
However, the reds are flashy in the eyes when using these glasses, to the point of causing strain on bright red hues. There's an optimized color transformation (also called "Dubois red/cyan") that minimizes this effect, lowering the perceived saturation of red hues in the image. And it's already supported by ffmpeg (which is what I think kodi uses). The enum StereoCode is "ANAGLYPH_RC_DUBOIS". You can set it in mplayer using the video filter: "stereo3d=sbsl:arcd"
Check out this page for the comparison. The examples show noticeable improvements, and they don't require you to get any other different set of glasses. The colors get a little bit washed out, but that's way better than the annoying eye strain.
I also found that reducing the binocular rivalry like this also helps the overall perception, and the occasional anomalies at the borders become less noticeable. IMHO, unless you have some special kind of lenses, using an optimized matrix like this is the only sane way to go for red/cyan.
