I am considering purchasing an Android 4.2 TV box, which apparently uses XBMC to run things.
So I wonder how would it handle mkv 3D files, particularly 3D subtitle files.
1) Would it play the MKV 3D files?
2) Would it play and show the 3D subtitles?
3) What 3D subtitle file form would they need to be: sup or sub?
4) Would they have to be outside or merge/muxed inside the mkv video file?

My XBMC (ubuntu) can play .ASS 3D subtitle.
I dont know about the android version.....
You can create a .ASS from a .SRT using a tool named: SRT23DASS.EXE (google for it)
Its quite simple and fast , but still a pain in the .ASS

srt subtitles will not work. srt subtitles are rendered once by XBMC, in the lower middle of your screen. They will not work with a SBS movie.
ass subtitles are more flexible, and can be made to render twice, once on the left hand side, once on the right. They will therefore work, if you have prepared them as 3D.
And sorry if my earlier post wasn't detailed enough - my blamk "no" to the subtitles question was because I didn't think past srt...

Yes, I'm aware srt subs will not work with 3D movies.
Apparently XBMC will work with ass subs if they are together with video file, and with sup files if they are merged into the video file.
That's a start.
What about 5.1 AC3 or dts audio?

XBMC works with DTS and AC3 5.1 audio, as you would be able to see if you liiked in the wiki.
XBMC will work with internal or external subtitles.

Can you turn it on with your projector remote?
