Pi2 has been giving me all sorts of troubles on 2 different set-ups lately. It's cool that is can do a number of awesome things but the headaches I've been experiencing just don't make it a good option. And I'm not even talking 3D I'm talking playing back a DVD rip with only 2.0 audio. Slow, juttery if it even plays at all. And that's on a full gigabit wired connection.
Anyone know anything about future Pi versions?

Now I'm really confused about áll these 3D formats... If I get this right, BD3D iso is the best and true 3d. Is Kodi able to playback this under Linux?
On Win I believe PowerDVD is required?
I would like to use a Braswell board for this, N3150, and not a pi2.
Is it possible or will it be possible? Thanks

No, I don't think so... my suspicion is that Pi2 is outputting in framepacked, but the way it's decoding is by splitting the full left/right data into half resolution, which is what gets reassembled. I'm hoping I'm wrong about this. Koying, and I'm guessing Milhouse/popcorncornmix, know this stuff more than anyone else and hope they can shine a light. Maybe under Linux, it's full 3D, but using Koying's hack under Android, which Zidoo picked up and others also might, it's half-resolution?
One thing I've started to notice lately is that my HiMedia Q5's 3D ISO output just looks superior (better 3D, more detail and punchier) than anything else I have that does 3D.

I guess one would need some sort of hdmi analyser to really know.
EDIT: I really doubt that the RPi will be downscaling a 1080p frame to half resolution, then upscaling it again to build a frame packed output. That just does not make sense.

I wonder if it would be possible to have the same quality of encoding and way under Linux (not just pi2), as with a BD player, that is BD3D, the same that PowerDvd can do under win?

Off topic, but huh?
Why 17 when 16 isn't even released yet? What am I missing here
