So I have a decent collection of of 3D movies. I have a Panasonic VT50 TV with 3D, and have up until now had the TV do the 3D processing and viewing once a 3D signal is detected. The downside of this, is that when viewing the 3D media, when I pause or bring up the OSD, the movie remains in 3D, but the OSD does not and displays in 2D which becomes pretty unbearable to view until the OSD goes away.

Within Kodi, there seems to be a nice feature set that I have not really explored, and currently I have the 3D option disabled and let the TV handle the 3D processing. Does Kodi have the capability to perform the processing of 3D files (HSBS mkv files) AND display the OSD in 3D while a 3D files is being played? If so, what settings should be configured, and set to what?

yes, Kodi has the feature to adjust the GUI to the 3D format of the movie or convert a 3D movie into a different 3D mode or even convert it to 2D. The only thing required for this is that your videos either have the according stereoscopic flag set in the metadata of the MKV file (which most don't have) or that they follow a certain naming convention (Avatar.3D.HSBS.mkv). For more info about the naming convention etc see our wiki 3D (wiki)

In Settings -> Video -> Playback you can specify what Kodi should do when it detects the playback of a 3D movie. Default mode is to ask you for the playback mode in a dialog. You can change this to "use preferred mode" if you always want to watch 3D movies in 3D.

In Settings -> System -> Video you can choose your preferred playback mode of stereoscopic content. By default it's using the mode of the video itself, but you can tell Kodi to use whatever mode you prefer.

Thanks a lot for your response. I follow the Kodi name pattern and so I named an iso e.g. example.3d.bluray.iso. This made it on the windows Kodi fork to play the videos as expected in frame packaging mode (not side by side, not under-ovder but with overlapping pictures as directly from the blu-ray).
When I play the example blu-ray iso, the movie plays in 2D, then I choose to play the movie in 3d and also kodi shows something from "stereoscopic 3d" in the right lower corner, but the only choices I have is deactivate, 2d, side by side, under over.

I read about activating "Enable Full HD HDMI for stereoscopic 3D: ON", but this option is not available at all.

Kind regards,

Karlo

Sorry for hi-jacking this issue. I opened both, your topic and my one to the 3d settings for frame packaging output and thought, this was an answer to my topic. :/

Sorry for that.

Kind regards,

Karlo

which platform are you trying to play the ISO, since you mentioned it worked on Windows but doesn't seem to work somewhere else? Framepacked 3D AFAIK is only supported in an experimental Windows build (not sure if it ever got merged into mainline codebase) and on the RaspberryPI. No other platform can do it atm.
