The second I just can't understand. Not on the Pi side as that's great. But WTH can't we get much bigger and more powerful systems to do the same? Not a question directed at yourself, just in general.

Someone with a very special skill set needs to do several weeks of work. There's actually a 4000 € bounty for someone to do this for VLC.

So a follow-up, when MVC is played back is it done and recognized by Kodi like a SBS 3D video is? Does it also bring up that annoying 3D notification and sound? Or does it just send out the image and let the display decide to show it in 2D or 3D by either auto-detect or manually changing the 3D format?

Don't really know what the 3D notification and sound is. My TV makes no sound when switching to 3D. The Pi handles the 3D signalling, so the 2D/3D switch should be automatic. (Kodi doesn't support that on other platforms).
