I've been using the 3-23 build as it's the last one that was working reasonably well. However, SBS videos seem to suffer from image tearing, eyes out of sync, audio sync issues and other strange behaviors. Have any of the more recent builds also been tested with SBS content?

Hi, i have an old laptop with intel CPU i3-2330M and GPU HD3000, does it support hardware MVC decoding?

Pretty sure your laptop is a generation too old.

Edit: Maybe I spoke too soon. I looked and it shows "Intel® InTru™ 3D Technology" and it can support DX 10.1, so *maybe*? Try posting logs, that should show what's going on.

I think most of us are doing MVC MKVs (I know I am) and MVC ISOs (brazen1), and I think hdmkv is at least doing both, just to name a few of the testers. I would say upgrade to test, see the results, post the results and logs, and if you want to go back until a new build comes out do that.

Movies I have are all MVC MKV. Not all videos I have are or can be. Video bumpers and movie trailers are rarely in MVC. When using CinemaVision to create a true home theater experience the requirement to play multiple 3D formats is needed, hence my inquiry about the format. With some massive tweaking the Raspberry Pi is able to do this. Hoping it won't be long till even easier functionality is in the HTPC.

[timstephens24]

Exactly, so upgrade and test. That's what an alpha is for.

HSBS and HOU work fine with latest build

[hdmkv]

Yep, I'd upgrade, to at least the March 25. It worked well on 4x of the 5 Intel h/w I tested with. The exception was Dell 3050, w/lip-sync error. April 1 onward fixed that for Dell. April 1 also especially helps N2820 NUC to minimize lip-sync error.

[brazen1]

Fwiw, since the 1st build up to the latest I've been testing:

2D.avi
2D.ts
2D.mkv
2D.h265.hevc.mkv
2D.iso
3D.mkv.sbs
3D.mkv.tab
3D.iso
Using DTSHDMA and DolbyTrueHD

@all
Sorry guys, I'm unable to look after the thread 24h per day so some reports may be lost in big amount of messages.

@brazen1
When you wrote "These last 3 builds do not work for Nvidia anymore." I understand this as "not working at all i.e. crash or something else critical" but you meant that you have an issue with black screen at the start. I can't remeber all your issues so when you post report please describe an issue as much as possible. I didn't see anything wrong in your logs that can throw the light on an issue.

@all
Stay tuned and wait next build, it should fix ghosting issue.

P.S. And yes, English isn't my native language.

[movie78]

Sorry but the have a log file, but the new build seems to use a lot of memory resources, is anyone seeing that?

[brazen1]

@afedchin

I don't know how much clearer I can try to be?
I've described the issue in detail many times but I keep getting the same responses from you?
You are repeating I'm not doing what is required in order for you to help in so many words.
I understand there is a language barrier but......
Anyway, thank you for trying. Indeed you did help very much with other issues and I'm still thankful for those.

After giving this some thought, the community has made it apparent my presence is detrimental and I guess in a nice way you're telling me the same. I understand. No hard feelings. Keep up the good work and I wish the best for everyone.

Yes, it does support 3D output. I have been using PowerDVD to play 3D (with frame-packing output) for 3-4 years without any issue. The question now is about MVC decoding capability. I compare the logs between this laptop and the working laptop (i7-4700&HD4600) and found one difference that may be interesting,

Could you tell what is missing here?

Don't be like that, this is an aplha build and we are all expirence issues, your test and input are always welcome.
The more the merrier

Just take in account that I don't remember that you wrote before. This makes our communication more effective.

Yes, it does support 3D output. I have been using PowerDVD to play 3D (with frame-packing output) for 3-4 years without any issue. The question now is about MVC decoding capability. I compare the logs between this laptop and the working laptop (i7-4700&HD4600) and found one difference that may be interesting,

Sandy Bridge supports 3D output but drivers supports Media SDK v1.4 only, but MVC decoder requires v1.8 at minimum. In your case only software decoding possible. Please download libmfxsw32.dll and place it into Kodi root folder.

Testing latest build - KodiSetup-20160413-08fabf3-msdk_mvc_wip.exe

3D picture quality is great, nothing bad to report at all.

Audio/Video sync is perfect visually.

the default scraper and PVR addon i use do not work, assuming other addons are broken due to a krypton change
