    Streaming 3D no longer works on Chromecasts?

    Hello all,

    I tried streaming a 3D movie from the VUDU app on my Android phone the other day to a 2nd generation Chromecast, connected to my 3D projector (a BenQ HT1075). It would not play and displayed the following error:

    "Player Error
    We are sorry. Your device does not support 3D video"

    I have successfully watched 3D movies in the past with the exact same setup and I am struggling to understand what has changed. I asked VUDU support for help but they are very obtuse and unhelpful. They claim that VUDU doesn't support 3D playback for projectors. That seems very implausible--I suspect that 3D streaming support for Chromecasts is broken somehow, though I am not sure if this is on VUDU's end or the Chromecast's. I have no 3D TV so I can't verify if what they are saying about projectors is really true. Since 3D TVs are no longer made anymore, their claim is tantamount to saying they no longer support 3D at all.

    Has anyone else with a Chromecast experienced playback issues? Can anyone test this on a projector or TV with a Chromecast? My Chromecast firmware version is 1.30.113131 (preview version).

    I can confirm receiving the same error message casting to my Chromecast Ultra connected to my Samsung 4k/3d TV. App on both TV & Samsung 4k/3d Blu-ray player 3d titles play just fine.

      Thanks, rdawg, for your confirmation.

      After many messages back and forth with VUDU support, today they told me that they do not support 3D casting. While I requested (and hope) that they restore support for this, I guess I will have to look into getting a VUDU-enabled 3D Blu-ray player in order to ensure I can play my 3D titles.
