DIY

  • option 1. You build this fork using Android Studio. (Make sure to follow the steps in /buildscripts/README.md)
  • option 2. You could also try using the Official MPV Player:
    -- a. download /app/src/main/assets/leia2x2.hook.glsl & app/src/main/assets/leia2x2.hook.glsl to /mpv in the "External Storage" area of your Android device
    -- b. In MPV Player; Go to Advanced > Edit mpv.conf
    -- c. add glsl-shader="/storage/emulated/0/mpv/leia.hook.glsl for 2x1 SBS video or glsl-shader="/storage/emulated/0/mpv/leia2x2.hook.glsl for 2x2 4V Videos
    -- d. you need some way to toggle the backlight into 3D mode. Bookmark this link to your home-screen: "https://webbacklight.web.app/?mode=3D" that will allow you to toggle the backlight into 3d mode (make sure you install the "Leia's Web Helper App")
