Tip 1. Where to Find 3D Movies to Watch on computer?

If you have 3D Blu-ray discs, that's good. If not, you have many other ways to find 3D movie resources. 

1. 3D movie content provider

Some 3D movie streaming services like Netflix, MovieTube, Sony PlayStation Network, Amazon, Vudu, 3D-BlurayRental.com, Comcast Xfinity 3D, 3DGo, etc will allow you to online stream and watch 3D movies with 3D TV.

2. Best 3D movie download sites: 

There are many torrent sites like KickassTorrents, 3dmoviestreaming.com, divxcrawler.to, torrentz which provide many 3D movies via online movie download sites for you. But you will be at a risk of being attacked by virus in this case.  

The file size of 3D torrent download movies in 480P, 720P is acceptable, but if you are hoping to download Blu-ray HD 4K videos in 3D by torrents, I'm afraid you have to compress the 4K file size down. It is very considerate of the 3D video converter developer to enable the software to reduce 3D torrents large file size with very fast speed and high quality reserved. 

Tip 2. How to Watch 3D Movies on Kodi 

You need to grab the Phoenix 2.0 add-on first, once you have it installed, check out the 3D movies on Kodi that Phoenix and staael2014 have available. Access Phoenix from your video add-ons and then go into the staael2014 section and then click on the 3D Movies section.

From within the staael2014 section of 3D Movies on Kodi, you will see two categories for animated movies and non-animated movies. There are a tons of popular movies available in 3D like Avatar and Despicable Me! The movies are all in great 720p or 1080p quality and there are currently over 50 animated movies and over 70 non-animated movies available right now!

When you launch a 3D movie, you will see it launch in a side-by-side split screen view if you don't have 3D enabled. When you hit the 3D button on your TV Remote (if you run Kodi off a Kodi box through your TV) or enable 3D on whatever display you use, your side by side image will convert into a properly 3D overlay and you can put on your 3D glasses and watch! This is a great solution to make use of your Samsung 3D TV.

Tip 3. How to Stream from Kodi to Samsung Smart TV

The key feature for me is to stream from Kodi to Samsung smart TV or in another words send a video to samsung smart tv via UPnP. It allows content which is stored in its library and depending on the video format also video streamed from some addons directly to TV.

For example from addon 1channel. As mentioned depending in what format is the movie stored and if TV Supports it, for me worked movshare.net, cloudzilla.to, realvid.net

I didnt find a quick way to find out from which source the movie will be streamed. I just tried and noted down the one which worked. I suspect that it depends on the video format of the movie.

For example you have on your tablet, notebook, or mobile kodi and would like to see the movie on big screen of tv.

By using in the context menu play using and then chose the device.

Following settings have to be activated on kodi and reboot it to activate the function.
