AFAIK Kodi does not support hardware decoding of 3D's at all. Only software decoding (needs a CPU with a little muscle). Some people have reported some luck with external hardware.

Half ou or half sbs is the same as regular 1080 p as far as the computer and acceleration is concerned. It is the tv that combines the images into 3 d.

Because the resolution of 1080p is the same as for Half-TAB (H-TAB) / Half-OU (HOU) Top and Bottom (TaB) format, does that not mean that XBMC/Kodi needs to read the file-name to understand that is a 3D stereoscopic video in Half-TAB (H-TAB) / Half-OU (HOU) Top and Bottom (TaB) format video rather than a normal non-3D video?

So that means that you just need to manually edit your file-names and add flags there in the file-name for XBMC/Kodi to pick-up, see http://kodi.wiki/view/3D


Stereoscopic flags to add to the file-name for Top and Bottom (TaB) recognition: http://kodi.wiki/view/3D#Video_filenames_flags

"3DTAB|3D.TAB|HTAB|H.TAB|3DOU|3D.OU|3D.HOU| HOU | OU |HALF-TAB"


@Edwrib/wgstarks, have you properly named your Half-OU (HOU) videos with a such file-name? And if so can you post some file-names?

Examples: moviename.3D-HTAB-h264.mkv or moviename.3D.HTAB.h264.mp4 or moviename_3D_HTAB_h264.mp4


You can also try adding an Advancedsettings.xml http://kodi.wiki/view/Advancedsettings.xml#video with

Code:

<advancedsettings>
   <video>
      <stereoscopicregex3d>[-. _]3d[-. _]</stereoscopicregex3d>
      <stereoscopicregexsbs>[-. _]h?sbs[-. _]</stereoscopicregexsbs>
      <stereoscopicregextab>[-. _]h?tab[-. _]</stereoscopicregextab>
   </video>
</advancedsettings>
