Passive glasses with 4K displays is the way to go. No questions about it.
Large screen home theatre projector set up with passive glasses is not that practical. Active glasses, single lens projector is probably the cost effective way for 3D.
This will bring back the issue with 60Hz glasses. All we really need is for those glasses to work at 120Hz per eye in order to get in sync. with 24fps.

Absolutely agree about Passive UHD being the way to go for direct view 3D. Full HD resolution and no flicker.

VAAPI can do it.
FFmpeg has no support as of now.
Kodi uses FFmpeg to decode video.
First decide what functions / features you expect from a system. Then decide for the hardware. Don't waste your money on crap.

Thanks fritsch for confirming the problem.
Sounds like there is no chance of software MVC decoding with FFmpeg. Decoding in hardware using VAAPI should be possible (at least on Intel GPUs) once they add support to FFmpeg.
Incidentally, I ran vainfo on a Chromebox and it reports the same MVC profiles as other Haswell GPUs. So unlike Windows, you can decode and display MVC in Linux on these Celerons.

I just got the Intel decoding working using the experimental builds but haven't noticed the high quality that several people had mentioned. My raspberry pi 2 appears to play smoother and I didn't notice any other differences in quality. I used the settings from the first post linked, is there anything else I need to do to get a smoother playback? Thanks.

It's smooth when I set the sync to display setting...I thought that wasn't recommended though?
