The built-in video player doesn’t support stereoscopic video formats. The title of the article should state that the AVP does not play 3D video out of the box, making the story about porn is just a weird pivot to generate clicks.
However there is already at least one third party app that plays stereoscopic video just fine.
There is a Star Trek app that plays SBS 3D videos, so it’s only a matter of time before someone puts out a dedicated app for it.
This proprietary tool can already convert SBS to MV-HEVC. I imagine we will see support come to ffmpeg and/or x265 in the next year or so, if it’s not already being worked on. MV-HEVC is very similar to the MVC extension to AVC that was used for 3D blu-rays, so it’s not particularly exotic.

Which app?
I investigated this and couldn’t find a tool to do this. Which tools have you seen that do this?
