Hi

The Pi 3 also does 3D MVC + Frame Packed output (which my Chromebox and Core don't) but 3D is not a huge issue for me.

I'm kinda lost here. The ability to play 3DBD + FP is critical for me. I asked about it Wetek support few weeks ago, here is the answer:

Hi, Does any of the current Wetek players (for e.g. Wetek Core) is able to play 3d MVC-encoded video (BluRay ISO or remastered into MVK) using Frame Packed output format in full (1080p@24) resolution mode? If now, is such support is planning in the nearest future? I'm interested into a single media player that would be able to play Netflix HD and 3-D movies.

So, how can I know is MVC+FP work or not?

AIUI the AMLogic SoCs - include the one used in the Core - have MVC decode (so they can playback 3D MVC Full Resolution content) but they only have 2D output resolutions so are limited to half resolution 3D output (and not the 2205x1920 frame packed resolution required for 24p Full HD 3D)

So whilst 3D MVC will play in 3D - I don't think it will play with Frame Packed output. Some people confuse MVC with Frame Packed - they are two separate things...

I'll try both Android and OpenElec on my Core tomorrow.
