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.

Thanks, afedchin, you just pointed out what I did wrong last time, I copied libmfxsw64.dll instead of libmfxsw32.dll. Now with the 32 dll, the log shows the msdk is found. However there is weird aspect issue that the width of the image is shrunk to 1/3. Then I uninstalled and reinstalled Kodi, now without copying the dll, the 3d video is playing with software decoding I think the intel media SDK should always be installed first before Kodi, is it the case?

With the software decoding, now I am seeing what other posters are talking about, slow motion, jerky and lip sync issue. I know PowerDVD can play 3D smoothly with software decoding on the same hardware, so the issue is really about software, not the hardware. The question here is how much does the intel media SDK and Kodi each contribute to the performance issue? Can the future improvement of the two components achieve the same performance as PowerDVD does?

New Krypton MVC Windows build: April 13 (+pdb)

This is expiremental build to improve performance of MVC decoding and may contain bugs

Fixed:

• Fixed ghosting issue
  
• Now Kodi force switch to 23.976 fps before switching to stereo 3D mode.
  
• Updated to the latest Krypton branch.
  

Removed:

• Experimental: support of smooth playback was removed.
  

The OP was updated.

Hey afedchin, have you ever used the CinemaVision addon? I'm curious to find a way to change Kodi into 23.967fps 3D mode at the start of the 3D videos (or even very start) in the CV sequence and what code would be needed to execute an action file. I know you're super busy just getting MVC working on HTPC's but curious if this has ever crossed your desk.

[afedchin]

@Dave the Minion
No, I've never used it. You can use http://kodi.wiki/view/JSON-RPC_API and use SetStereoMode to switch to required stereo mode.

Audio is still way out of sync if I don't have something on the screen like the OSD or play/pause screen (or if debug logging is enabled, that will keep the issue from happening - this is also why I can't get a debug log of the issue). Starts out minor but then 5 minutes into something the audio is 5 seconds behind.

I also notice with OSD up I'm not getting any frame skips, but when I close OSD, leave it down for about a minute, then open it back up, the frame skip count starts going up, and the video will eventually sync with the audio. Once you close it it starts delaying again until you bring it back up, the frame skips are calculated, and the video gets caught up to the audio.

Here's a log (probably won't tell you anything): http://pastebin.com/EtC2Fw1Q

I tried to take some screenshots but they all came out black.

Trying to use the April 13th build and it's not working. I see the Kodi splash screen but then I'm back on the desktop. Any idea what the problem is?

Does C:\Program Files (x86)\Kodi\system\libcurl.dll file exist? If the file exists make sure that you selected all Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable packages during installation. if the file doesn't exist please download this one https://www.dropbox.com/s/ior4k0nj0pflho...l.zip?dl=0 and extract it to C:\Program Files (x86)\Kodi\system\ folder.

It's a Krypton issue.

If I enable debug logging, the issue goes away. It only happens when there's no on screen display, and debug logging has the on-screen display that keeps the issue from showing up.

If you enable debug logging as I suggested with <loglevel hide="false">1</loglevel> then it enables debug logging w/out on screen stats.

@afedchin, libcurl exist but Kodi don´t load, I report bug for paxxi, I post debug log here

http://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=...pid2309968

And I selected all Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable packages during installation.

I think this commit broken something

Ah I guess I was messing it up when I had tried the other day, thanks. Here's the log: http://pastebin.com/bWft6wSH

Looks like you're already working/fixed it from the discussion here: https://github.com/xbmc/xbmc/pull/9542

I'm seeing the same problems @Voyager1 was

Ok! Ok ok!
Afedchin, my honest congratulations for your work!
I testd this, this time not on amd, but on a nuc dn2820 with 2830 processor.

This is so awsome!
Damn
I got 0 i repeat 0 audio sync issues, i tested several movies and none audio not in sync!
Very nic, atmos, dts hd , truehd all work without issue!
2 things though, with most movies i have in the beginning skipped frames mostly around 20 max 35 skipped frames then plays fine
Not sure why
Need log for this?
Also i have 1 movie called epic, which doesnt play good in 3d..
It looks between 3d and 2d, hard to tell.
Need log for this?
Otherwise for me its perfect! Tested with latest build

Epic you have to flip the eyes via the video settings when you bring up the osd via the little wrench .
