    However there is already at least one third party app that plays SBS video just fine.

    Which app?

    You can also convert SBS video to MV-HEVC, which is arguably a better 3D format, and use the built-in player.

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

      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.
