3D Support builds for Raspberry Pi

    Quote from vobs

    I tried your Pi4 build it with a spare Raspberry Pi 4B 8GB and basically everything worked. Compressed FSBS files (3840x1080) were being processed on the fly and sent as frame-packed. However, as soon as I tried larger 3D MVC rips with higher bitrates of about 42–48 Mb/s, there was severe stuttering during playback. I switched from SMB to NFS and tried various tweaks in Kodi and LibreELEC, but nothing helped. Eventually, I gave up. I think the RP4's hardware is not powerful enough. Should I try again with an RP5?

    Yes, MVC is pushing Pi4. You could try overclocking (the arm) but it may not be enough.

    I think Pi5 will be fine with these files.

    Can someone recommend a skin that looks nice and is compatible with Piers that isn't quite as plain jane as Estuary, seems to be a lot of issues with the included skins. I know kodi is super constumizable I used a great skin years ago, Not sure if its still active. that was fanstastic. Just looking for something with a bit more eye candy at this point. thanks.

    If you want something efficient that just works and doesn't have the issues: use Estuary. If you want eye-candy and a slower GUI experience and issues: install other skins. I'm probably being mean to some skinner who slaves thousands of hours on their skin project, but 15+ years of Kodi (orig. XBMC) use has taught me that lesson /shrug

    I have been using Kodi since it was XBMC on the xbox classic. I appreciate your comments, but with all due respect Kodi is completely about customization and local media treatment. I have been away for about 2 years while using Plex basically. But I do share the love for more local control over media that kodi gives. Having a love for 3D , i am re-exploring kodi. Was just looking for the some of the best options for Piers support and a skin that enriches the experience. Estuary is fine. So is confluence but they live a little to be desired for those wanting more.
