Well some 3D movies but not all! KODI detects the movies as 3D, some will be picked up and displayed correctly by the TV whilst others (of the same sbs/tab) format will not, in these cases I get the image twice either side by side or top and bottom. There seems to be an issue with how the SONY TV detects the 3D stream, which as some movies work I can only assume is related to the file itself, however I'm not getting to far in researching if this is controlled by the file header data so if anyone has advice that would be useful.
The action menu on my SONY does not show the 3D option when not using physical inputs or most Android apps, this is a reported problem which SONY seem to be doing nothing about. The work around is to use the SONY TV and Video sideview ios/android app which contains a remote with a 3D button, when activated the TV is forced into the selected 3D mode and the video plays correctly, unfortunately it also has to be de-activated manually at the end of the video. Its a work around you could try perhaps?
I'm more interested however in getting to the bottom of why some films work and others don't... anyone help there?

I have the sideview app but it gives me the same remote I currently have without the 3D button. Please let me know if I must buy a Sony 2014 remote on eBay, thanks.

My problem is, I can switch the TV to 3D but Kodi stops playing. When I start the movie again, the TV switched 3D off. Truly wtf...

Is there some bit in a MKV file one can trigger to get Sony TV recognise the 3D video?The root-cause is that Sony only shows the buttons (or allows them) for a specific whitelist of apps. I have used the original Kodi-source to build it with a different name, so it is allowed and it also installs next to your regular Kodi. This will be there for about 7 days: https://we.tl/t-CXtZsMpAeX

You have to transfer it to your TV and install it for example using FX File Explorer (that is how I did it). To be able to do that you have to allow for it in the "developers options" on your TV.
