Uploading 3D to Youtube - NOT 360VR or 180VR!

Just plain old 1920x1080 3d video. I'd hate to have to upload separate versions for anaglyph and side by side and hope that people find them, and hope that it works in headsets.

I keep finding the

ffmpeg -i input_file.mkv -vcodec libx264 -x264opts "frame-packing=3" output_file.mp4

suggestion on many forums online, but it isn't doing the trick. There's a metadata injector that works well for 360vr but I'm just trying to do regular old fashioned 1920x1080 and the injector won't do that. Any other suggestions?

Watch this YouTube video about using Handbrake to inject the necessary metadata: frame-packing=3

It works. After uploading to YouTube, my 3D video wasn't playing in 3D, and the resolution was low. Then a little later I tried playing it again, and this time it played in 3D. You just have to wait long enough for YouTube to completely process your video.

I saw another YouTube video where myFFMpeg was used to inject the metadata, but that seemed more complicated. I tried it, and it worked.

I did more research and was able to get the 3d options to show up, but only if I added the tag yt3d:enabled=true which doesn't seem right because that's when I misspelled the tag, which should be "enable" not "enabled" however it didn't work when I put "enable" only when I put "enabled" which makes me unsure if there's some other factor in play. That's why I wasn't posting my find just yet, it didn't seem right.
