3D MVC Support

[Cruzader]

AR Glasses are starting to become a popular thing now and watching 3D Movies from Jellyfin would be very nice. FFMpeg doesn't officially support this but since you guys are using your own custom build then maybe you can have a look at this, it's a custom FFmpeg build that supports 3D MVC.

and here are some test files

According to our docs, we already do.

Unfortunately that only add a 3D tag on the details of the movie. It doesn't do anything for playing it as 3D. Ideally it would play the 3D MVC as Side-by-Side

I downloaded a few 3D sample files and, AFAICT, ffprobe doesn't present the 3D type. Only the file name and watching the video in VLC gave clues as to what they are. If your file names don't have the 3D type in them, you'd have to watch them in a player to make that determination.

I don't understand. What would i be looking for in VLC to give that information?

AFAICT, ffprobe does not provide any information about what kind of 3D a video is.  Viewing a 3D video in VLC will show you the raw video.  Each 3D video type is, essentially, a normal video but the frames are rendered and assembled to make 3D.  SBS will, literally, have each eye's frame side-by-side.  Each side taking up half of a 1080P frame.

   

The example I attached is a "HTAB" 3D video. Half-top-and-bottom.

.. Oh...

When i play it in VLC.. it doesnt do that.. It just plays like a normal movie.

I tried a couple more 3D types and MVC videos do appear as just plain videos. So you may have MVC 3D.
