3D streaming from PC to Evo - HTC EVO 3D

Hi there!
I got my new Evo 3D today, now I'm trying to play a 3D Bluerayrip on it.
For the SD card is the Movie to big. I found a Streaing method, but on this the movie is not in 3D, I only see the two Stereoscopic pictures. Switching to 3D isn't there.
How i can watch the movie on the Evo?
thanks a lot =)

Only the stock movie player app has the 3d button. You would need to convert it to a file version supported by the stock app. Can the stock app load streams?

what streaming method did you find? I was hoping to do this same thing as I've taken so much 3D video I've had to move it to my PC and I've thought maybe I can watch it on my phone via streaming! I know that the YouTube app can play streaming feeds in 3D, but that's off YouTube. maybe if someone can make it able to read streams from other addresses!

You can stream in the gallery app. Just select 'media servers' from the dropdown at the top.

Download handbrake and add the metadata ":frame-packing=3" to your movie file, it will take a few minutes, then try streaming again, it will automatically be on 3D(remember to use mp4 file type, no need to use a different player.
(PlayStation3 Media Server works great with DNLA)

with VLC on the PC and VLC s&c you can stream 2D Movies, but not 3D.
But the method is fast and smooth =D

Split into 2gb chunks, or reduce bitrate.

The streaming method should matter. If the video is encoded as a SBS (side by side) picture, the 3d should recognize it and turn the 3d screen on.

[Q] Converting 2D movies to side by side 3D.mp4 w/ DVDFab

I'm having a lot of trouble trying to convert them. I'm on Windows 7.
Has anybody converted any 3D movies with DVDFab & gotten them to play on the Evo3D successfully?
All I've seen so far work are the videos shot on the Evo itself & very few side by side Youtube3D ones

if this doesnt work from where we can find out what to do to watch any 3d movies(like avatar 3d or resident evil 3d) in 3d on evo 3d?
I took a 3D Side by Side MKV of Clash of the Titans, and used Handbrake to convert it into a 960 x 400 MP4 and it plays flawlessly. All you have to do is hit Menu and "Play in 3D" when you play it through Gallery. I have not tried any other formats or over/under versions of 3D either. I will post my results with my next movie.

Save this to the computer, copy to the phone. Open with the gallery, hit settings and play in 3d mode.
Used handbrake to reduce the size of a side by side video

I personally use the latest Wondershare to convert my videos, and it works phenomenal. I just have to figure out what program to use to convert my pictures to 3D.
Here's what I did. Worked fast and perfectly.

ShadowHawk,
You think you could post a screen cap of the settings you used to down convert the video file?
And those were originally side by side mkv files, correct?
Thanks again for sharing.

The link right above you is how I did it
Of course I converted it a day or so ago, but only found the "watch in 3d" button yesterday night. But I should have created a thread on it like that guy did.

I just used DVDFab to convert an episode of Merlin from 2D to 3D and it actually did a pretty decent job of it! I'm going to try a more feature length movie next.
I have version 8.0.9.2 if that helps, running on Windows 7.

[Q] Cannot play 3D video after enabling the 3D funciton

Hi all,
I have several videos downloaded from this forum to test the 3D video playback of the EVO 3D.
However, even I have pressed the 3D enable function in the player, those videos are still showing left and right screen together, which have no difference with 2D.
Do any of you have the same experience?
I have tried to import some 3D photos and they are fine.
Thanks
Battery pull / reboot.
If that fails, clear storage / rebuild.
If that fails, return it.

Hi, I tried to watch 3D video from the camera and youtube, both work.
Will it really related to the handset or video format?
Thanks
I no longer understand what your problem statement is. It either works or it doesn't. Which is it?

OK let me explain more
1. For those 3D videos taken from the camera and watch from Youtube. it worked
(no need to enable 3D manually, the player can detect it automatically)
2. For those videos import from PC, not ok.
I tried around 10 files, most of the are downloaded from here, just display the side by side video even turning on 3D. I follow the steps to convert one video from youtube to mp4, but still didn't work.
(need to enable 3D by myself)

what do you mean "turn 3D on"?
are you pressing "menu > play in 3D" when playing the videos?
do the videos have "3D" in their name?

2. The videos have 3D in their name and all of them all SBS video. I am sure theyr are 3D video (watched some of them in the 3DTV before), but no luck when converting them into m4v/mkv file
I have had this happen I just hit menu then 2d then hit menu again 3D and it finally goes

Just add "3D" to the end of any sbs videos and the software will handle it automatically, i was so hyped about the 3d that i watched tons of promo videos and on at least 3 they mentioned evo 3d will recognize sbs videos that are tagged in the title so first thing i did when i got my 3d was load clips with 3D at the end of file name and it just works, no need to fuss with menu

when you "share" the video, it will ask you if the device you are sharing to is a 2d or 3d device.
edit: wait, I guess that only works for pictures.
I am wondering the same thing. If you upload a 3D video to YouTube, it gives you options to just watch in 2D from either camera angle, but no option to export just one camera view....rather frustrating. Anyone have a solution?
I'm looking for an answer to this as well. I took 3d video but someone wants a copy but i cant send it to them since they dont have 3d. I thought the "share as 2d" would pop up but it didnt for videos,...only pics.
Put it on your computer then save it as a mpeg 4, AVI etc....

That still keeps it as 3d (side x side). We want to view the 3d video as 2d on our computer screens/hdtv (non 3d).

Yes, I know how to do it by pressing the 3D button, but is there a way using some coding to get it to auto open in the 3D?
hey guys, i have a question, im looking for somebody to watch this video i converted to 3d and see if it works right or if it needs tweaking....can yas help? lol (i dont have 3d device)
I'll try. Upload it to youtube or just send me a link.
Search wondershare in forums, it does basic converting as well as converting videos to play 3d, it worked very well for me.

As sleekgreek said, it's to do with the tags in the mp4 file.
the framepacking tag needs to be set to 3 for SBS L&R movies. it's either 4 or 5 for top and bottom, but i can't remember for certain.
You can use videolan's X.264 encoder to do that. but that only puts out H.264 video, so you'd need to then use something else to do your audio and then combine them again into one mp4 container.
the command for x.264 is:
Code:
x264 --frame-packing 3 -o [Input].mp4 [Output].mp4
but like i said, this is video only, so remember to use whatever other tools you use to encode the audio and then recombine.

Using handbrake: use x264 codec, go to "advanced" tab and add
":frame-packing=3"
without quotes into the command box at the bottom. For the other setting just try what best suits your needs.
The file must be .mp4 (just rename) in order to have the 3d/2d switch, this way you can see 2d in right way!
Hit thanks if you've found this useful.

3d movies not playing in 3D
I'm Hoping someone can help me out here. I've downlaoded some movies from sick-flix and copied them to my sd card. Great!!
They are in .mp4 format and when i go and play them from the gallery they play as 2 side by side videos. Great!!!
So I press the options button and tell it to play in 3D, click OK and it doesn't switch. Not So Great!!!
I have a rogers 3d evo S-OFF and rooted. it shouldn't really matter, i think.

[Q] Streaming 3D movies from PC to Evo3d?

Does anyone know a good app that can stream 3d movies on your pc to your evo 3d?? I can't seem to find one. I've tried plex, skifta, gmote and it wont play in 3d. I think the only player that can allow you to play in 3d is the Evo's native video player which gives you the option to 3d. Otherwise you have to place the 3d movie on your phones SD card which takes up a lot of space. So I am trying to store it on my computer and just stream it through DLNA. If anyone knows that would be great.
Try zumocast. Havent tried it for 3d movies but i dont see why it wouldnt work.

I actually had the same thought and tried zumocast but it just plays the movie sbs. I think it must use a default player that doesn't support stereoscopic.

Have you tried from VLC direct Pro? According to the app, you can stream from phone to pc and vice versa. I emailed them about it, but they have yet to respond. A lot of the movie files I've seen are over 4GB, which is the limit for either android or my HTC evo3d (forgot).
EDIT:
Also, MX Video allows me to play all the 3D videos I've recorded. I prefer this app to the native for movies because it has convenient controls using swipe gestures.
