I’ve created a solution for Streaming SBS 3D or 2x2 4V Content from your computer(Mac/PC/Linux) via Jellyfin and viewing it on your Lume Pad or Hydrogen One via my special fork of MPV Player for Android I’m calling MPV-4V
No more manually transcoding or transferring large video files
Thank you very much for working on these! I’m going to take a look at this a bit later.
I’ve got my movies sitting in a NAS running Plex currently, so I’m hoping to get to a point where I could stream straight from the NAS. This may get me there if I can perhaps run Jellyfin on the NAS, pointing at the same folder.
FYI I just updated the .apk file on the release page so that you no longer need to leave the player and return to it when toggling the leia modes. if you already downloaded/installed the apk, you may want to reinstall with the latest one
During this weekend I had some time to install Jellyfin and MPV. I have ripped a blu ray 3D using DVDFAB and trying to use two options: the first as “3D MKV.MVC passthrough” that created an mkv file that apparently is played only as 2D (and I have read that basically this encodes info for 3D that needs special players, so… my mistake); when using this file, whatever player Jellyfin client uses in lumepad, including MPV, is 2D. Then I have used options to create mp4 side-by-side (full-size). When I try to play, if I use Jellyfin default player or any other player works as side-by-side, as expected, but when I set as external player MPV an error message appears (don’t remember exactly which one, something like “wrong player” that appears for a moment). What could be wrong? Is some codec missing?
when you look at the output of the transcoded mkv file, do you see side by side images? (guess it depends on what player you preview with… VLC might automatically put it in left eye only or right eye only)
id try encoding to h.264 or h.265 ive had mixed results with mkv pass thru containers.
the first file (mkv, created as “3D MKV.MVC passthrough”) looks only one image whatever player I open. Even opening with handbrake that states in the dimension tab Source: 1920x1080 PAR 1/1. The second attempt by which I have created mp4, I see always side-by-side, and according to Handbrake Source: 3840x1080 PAR 1/1. Server is on Windows 10. According to the Log of DVDFab it is encoded h264; as matter of fact the mp4 is only 4.92 GB versus the 28.4GB of the passthrough mkv. Do you suggest to encode it with Handbrake? In that case do you have any suggested output settings?
After recoding with handbrake (output m4v h264 30 FPS 3840x804 pixels) it works. Only I had to manually set in “Advanced” of your software aspect ratio 16:9. Great work!
Thank you. This player much better than official Leiaplayer. I can watch local 3D movies on my internal storage and playing subtitles too flawlessly. I hope you can add other supported 3D movies such as Top Bottom (OU) 1x2, not only SBS 2x1.
This is too amazing. A second member of my household purchased a Lume after mine running this program. Is there a patreon or page to donate? I would love if in the future, there’s a way to do O/U – I didn’t realize how many old O/U 3D movies I had which have no SbS versions.
