Win HOW TO - Kodi 2D - 3D - UHD (4k) HDR Guide Internal & External Players ISO Menus
I have recently converted my system from a low power Intel i-5 to an AMD Ryzen system. I did this because my Intel motherboard was having very flaky bluetooth issues that were so bad they'd even conflict with a bluetooth dongle I was trying to use with the motherboard bluetooth disabled. I could get everything working for a few months then began a process of uninstalling / reinstalling bluetooth drivers for a few hours. I finally threw in the towel.

On 18.1, Ryzen, and newer NVidia drivers, I have an almost perfect system. Kodi has stopped crashing when exiting external player. Videos play faster and the system boots up much faster.

I did use the word "almost" for a reason. There's one wrinkle here. I use .iso for both 4K and 3D files on MPC-BE x64. On this sytem, if the "Stereoscopic 3D" box is not checked, I don't get 3D. If it is checked, MPC-BE crashes out playing a 4k iso. The display flashes HDR then blinks back and MPC-BE is gone. It's not frozen and there's no error messages, it's just gone. This happens outside of Kodi as well is launching from Kodi but I believe I can use Kodi playercorefactory or mpc-be.bat to fix.

The solutions I see are

1) start playing with various video driver versions to find one that behaves more like the drivers behaved on the Intel system where the checkmark no longer mattered.
2) live with it, using a keyboard to toggle 3D on
3) adjust the MPC-BE.bat file or playercorefactory. My filenames do have either .4k.uhd.iso or .3d.iso in them. For the .3d.iso's I could then re-add the old 

C:\Program Files (x86)\NVIDIA Corporation\3D Vision\nvstlink.exe" /enable
C:\Program Files (x86)\NVIDIA Corporation\3DVision\nvstlink.exe" /disable

back in if I can figure out the rules.


I think I'm leaning towards #3. Fiddling with the system again does not seem desireable. I need to start enjoying it more. Thoughts?
