Also, you guys suggesting himedia and rpi are suggesting hardware. I am looking for a software solution to play them on my existing system. I really wish they would do it natively in Kodi but I understand the challenges with that.

Agree, and just doesn't feel like a media player and has little WAF.

Only thing is MVC MKV playback is a niche capability, while ISO has wider support. It's why I'm doing both for now, in case RPi2 doesn't pan out in the future (or Pi3 chip doesn't support MVC), don't want to have to convert or re-rip everything again.

But, it is possible to convert MVC MKVs back to ISO - quite easily. But I also keep a backup of the ISOs, it is good to backup anyway, this way one is actually forced to do it. ;-)
Reripping all discs would suck...

Another thing, openelec running on intel.cpu and nvidia gpu,would not be able to play 3d frame packed movie like the Pi right? Which basically means that the 30 dollar Pi is better than my 250 dollar gtx 960?? At least when it comes to linux 3d playback.
