Cool. I have tried playing my favorite 3D Top Bottom/ OU movies, and it’s awesome. Compared to Leiplayer that never been updated to play OU movies and also it couldn’t play subtitle too (perhaps next year will be, or maybe not at all). Don’t hope too much for that Leiaplayer. But this MPV-4V player is the best 3D player for Lumepad. All of Lumepad user should install this app. Thanks

I installed the MPV-4V (O/U version) apk but have two questions related to using MPV-4V

What should I enter in “Open URL”?

I tried

http://my-IP-address:8096/web/index.html#!/home.html

which works fine in the Chrome browser on the Lume Pad but does nothing when entered in MPV-4V.

When entered, the program just returns to the previous screen showing content on the Lume Pad.

If I enter the direct streaming URL, MPV-4V plays the video.

In this case, it is shown in MPV-4V as SBS which is the file’s format.

How do I switch MPV-4V to show the video in 3D on the Lume Pad?

Thanks for your help,

KenK

Nevermind…

I missed the steps to install the Jellyfin client on the Lume Pad and the control info as discussed here

Looks like it’s all good now.

I finally tried it out today. Works great. I had to adjust the aspect ratio on the video I tried to get it to not look squished but after that, it was great. I tested with Bolt 3D. That action sequence at the start of the movie looks great in 3D!

Hi I just received a Lume Pad 2, and got everything set up here. The video loads, and plays, and looks like it “should” be in 3D, but the actual 3D mode itself doesn’t seem to be triggered. I see the overlaid images, in the correct layout, but not actually in 3D. Anything I can try?

Hey @steve321, this version of MPV-Player by @jakedowns is for the original Lume Pad, not Lume Pad 2. It will have to be updated to work with Lume Pad 2.

33

Oh shoot. So is there any way to playback 3D SBS from a network share on Lume Pad 2?

34

@steve321 Not currently in 3D. You have to transfer from your network device to the device’s internal storage to play back in 3D, or you can stream it in 2D to Lume Pad 2 using a variety of apps.

35

@jakedowns I would gladly pay a small amount of money for you to update this to work on Lume Pad 2!

And actually upon review, the MPV 3D Player can be selected in Plex, and all it’s functions work, just not on the new Lume Pad 2. If MPV 3D was update, all my wishes would come true!

This has become the main thing I get the Lume Pad out for. I do very little else with it.

thanks to @steve321’s support and @simongellis’s assistance, i’ve got a basic proof of concept working. still need to get OverUnder support added back in, but if anyone’s dying to try this out before it’s polished, there’s an apk available on the releases page here: Release MPV 3D 2023.05.08 - LumePad 2 Support · jakedowns/mpv-android · GitHub
