Just to share an unpleasant experience. I had bought a Véro 4K+ this summer just to be able to read 3D MVC, 4K and x265. I had inquired beforehand, I had been confirmed that it was.

Except that once I received it, I noticed and learned that I had to use a beta firmware to have this feature. This is not a problem in itself... except that... I had more and more repeated overheating problems. Probably a hardware problem, it can happen, but in my case I was systematically asked to "install the latest stable version", to remove all plugins, not to put a skin... in short....

After dozens of unsuccessful and useless exchanges (wondering if I'm a liar or a fool), I was finally able to send my box back for an exchange...  Except that once sent back, I was first told that there was no more stock (which I had not been told before), and that I was going to test (again!!! I did dozens of tests!!) the box I had sent back.
I think that with the latest stable firmware, without customization, in factory configuration, it will work very well... but no 3D MVC as a result. I'm even sure that when turned off, it won't have any overheating problem. QED.

Anyway, I wonder when I'll find a Vero 4K+ that works, and in the meantime, I'm going to buy another one.  I'm going to try the Z9X I think.

So be careful before you buy!

Both @wrxtasy (in his pinned thread) and my first post here mention that beta software is required for 3D functionality. In a way, it's always in constant beta states, and one needs to keep up with what each new update adds, fixes and breaks. But, this is true with Zidoo as well, but 3D functionality has remained intact with their players. Once you get used to native Kodi 3D playback with Vero however, it feels a little kludgy to go back to Zidoo and external player.

I use Vero as my primary 3D player, and Zidoo as my backup.

3D MVC will be out of beta and part of Kodi v19 (which is now getting near to release); so not long to wait now.

When I built my setup I learned after a while that the AMD 2200G I had, couldn't properly switch my tv to 3d and that the graphics of an Nvidia card might be more helpful. At least I could throw side by side content on and manually tell the tv to go into side by side 3d but it's just not quite as good as directly on the disc.

I recently threw my Geforce 1070 in to test if I could do it with that, installed the 3d fix manager and the last 3d enabled driver and 3d vision. This has allowed me to switch my TV to 3d in windows. Everything on the graphics cards end seems to work with Nvidia photo viewer even viewing images in 3d However, I still can't playback video files in 3d. Every player I use throw side by side or top and buttom content, even nvidias own video player and what I assume I need to playback, is frame-packed? Is there a hardware problem here with my ryzen cpu as well ? or should the video card be able to do it ? is it a software issue ? I realize it might fall a bit outside the scope of the thread as it doesn't pertain directly to kodi alone, but I'm still hoping to get some help from people who are obviously well versed in getting 3d up and running.

Hoping for some assistance. I've also been looking at getting a nas and wondering if that would fare better. I've specifically been looking at the QNAP TS-653D.

Thanks in advance !

Hello @DoctorWhiskers,

thank you for your reply. I can't find any information about the fact the Shield (Pro or not) could read 3D MVC from MKV or ISO ? And, most of all, with the "current" firmware ? I don't want to be fooled anymore with "yes" answer but in the beta release, that you can't use because if you have problem the first thing people say is "please put the current firmware".

Thank you for your help.

Thank you for the reply. So you are saying there are actual MVC, 3D Blu-ray versions of those movies? Have you specifically played one? I just want to make sure before I go hunting for a pink elephant.
