Hi! I have both 2D and 3D versions of some of my movies in my movie folder. Does anyone have a solution on how to be able to choose which one to play? I am using iso's.
I place mine in two separate folders and just label one 3d and I go from there. Not sure if this is the answer you were looking for. I hope it helps.
I do it this way too. However, it's beginning to get a bit crowded with dulicates of 2D/3D movies in my library. I was kind of hoping to list both versions as one, and then choose which one to play when I start the movie.
Pack them together as a set
No reason to have a 2D rip and a 3D rip. A single 3D rip will play in 3D or 2D.
Yeah what brazen1 said. There is a setting in Kodi to automatically play 3D or ask. Also, if you are playing a 3D movie, you can bring up the OSD and change to 2D. For me, to make it easier (and because I ripped before Gotham) I just ripped the 3D and 2D versions from my blu rays. I have a 3D movie folder and I have a smart playlist set up for it. So, in Kodi, I have a Movies item and a 3D Movies item. It's kind a handy way to easily see which movies are 3D and see all the 2D movies.

I have experienced that the width of the movie changes when playing a 3D as a 2D, as in I get a thin black field at the edges. The "set"-idea is very good. I'll give it a try.
