Hi,
With an Intel HTPC, is 3D auto switch TV to right 3D mode ? And does it support CEC without external module ?
Thank you !

Not sure about CEC, but auto-switch for 3D, yes.

Thank you ! Auto-switch works with Windows 10 and any recent Intel CPU or only Skylake ?

apologies, possible dumb noob question. I have ripped my 3D movies using makeMKV, the are ripped as full frame packed MVC1 MKV files. These can be played in various players now, some smoother than other but they still play as side by side movies, the same as my other older rips.
Ok you are all probably thinking, yup thats normal but is it?. If my TV only outputs a 1080p image and the image is split into two then this isnt really full frame 3D is it. When I play a movie, if its properly frame packed should this not automatically turn on that setting to my TV and thus then play full frame 1080p split across the passive filter (i'm using passive not active 3D).
Seems to me the LAV68 decoder and stereoscopic player is simply converting the full frame packed image to a 1080p image on the fly so you dont have to rip it to a SBS image, either way you are losing resolution?
hope i'm talking balls as these rips are much bigger than my old ones, if there is no difference then what really is the point?

You said a lot, but never said what your player is, how it's setup, etc. Need actual details.

I tried out an Intel E3-1225v3 and that seems to work fine with 3D MVC MKV files too - totally overkill for an HTPC but it works fine with the builtin P4600 graphics and Windows 10.
