What is the best hardware to run Kodi?? [ i want to buy one/... ]
I want a very fast system AND stable system.......
What is the best OS?
Linux or Android?
Or are there no different?
You need to give us a better idea what you want to use Kodi for, and whether you need other stuff like Netflix, Amazon Prime Video etc.
Different platforms have different strengths and weaknesses.
What material will you be playing?
What sources ?
Do you need Live TV ?
Do you need to run a TV backend ?
Do you need HD Audio?
Do you need 3D?

Haven't tested myself.I thought the point opeters was making was that when watching 3D MVC content IN 3D, the subtitles were being rendered as 2D subtitles i.e. the additional depth information that accompanies the PGS subs to place them at the correct depth within each scene was being ignored and they were all being rendered at a fixed depth (which could place them behind the scene element they are overlaying and break the 3D effect)

@hdmkv, so build #3, does this give you an actual proper 3D picture at all if you switch your TV to whatever mode it needs or do you still get the top/bottom output with a Horizontal split thru the middle. If the line is there, that is what I see on my normal 2D TV as well.
Built #4 was a bit of a mish mash mongrel.
Yes good idea I will throw build #3 Noggins way as well as he has 3D gear, in fact here is the Link for it for those with a Core.
