NEW: 3D Blu-ray and MKV 3D support
fitbrit:
Tried this for the first time today.
My 3D movies start playing in SBS mode, and MadVR doesn't seem to kick the display card into stereo 3D mode. If I manually enable stereoscopic 3D in the nVidia control panel, the TV identifies playback as 3D, but the picture is still SBS.
I am using a GTS450, but can soon upgrade to a GTX960 is that will help?
I'll also try it on my other HTPC connected to my 3D projector.

I don't think that should necessarily be required, no.

If you configured the 3D format in madVR as "auto", and you still get SBS, then it doesn't recognize your TV/Projector as 3D capable.
See the additional requirements for HDMI 3D frame-packed in the first post in this thread. In particular, if Windows doesn't see your display as 3D capable, then neither will MC/madVR.
Specifically, Windows needs to show this checkbox, which means it recognizes it as 3D:
And as outlined in the requirements above, this only works on Windows 8.1 or Windows 10, and with a full HDMI 1.4 chain, ie. GPU, Receiver (if any), and TV.
On NVIDIA GPUs, you might need to install the 3D vision components. I'm not sure if we ever came to a clear conclusion if they are required to be installed, but I just always install them anyway since they come with the driver, so.. (you don't need to setup 3D vision in the nvidia control panel though)

Thanks for the additional/repeat information, Hendrik.
I was able to get 3d mode kicking in on the TV, but video from MC still came up as SBS. I'll go back and read each step carefully.

Thanks guys for the excellent work. Is it possible to swap the eye view. Most of my 3D discs are left right however the Hobbit is right left.
Also, the 3D at the start and end of the Despicable Me movies is fab. Really pops out of the screen.

madVR has an option to swap it on the device properties page, just need to remember to unswap it after.
If you play straight from the Blu-ray, it should automatically use the correct eye-order however, for ripped MKVs, you would need to re-rip with a future MakeMKV version or set this metadata manually in the file.
