If they are not frame packing but instead decoding 3D MVC and outputting it as HSBS or HTAB then sure - metadata will be needed to avoid manually having to set 3D on your TV.
Stereoscopic player has output frame packed MVC MKV for years. It doesn't tell the display what the format is to induce proper switching. If your display, or projector, doesn't have an auto-detect feature which requires reading the input for several sections before figuring out what the format is then you must manually switch to the proper 3D mode.
The Pi does all of this on it's own through the HDMI hardware.
Software decoding is not the answer. Full function HDMI output is. And it's there but being purposely handicapped.
Is it definitely frame packed (with the inter-eye 45 lines of vertical blanking) or is it full resolution TAB or SBS?
