Req Support for reading actual stereoscopic 3D mode of GUI for add-ons
#1
Hi,
stereoscopic support in XBMC GUI is great! But without switching display device into 3D mode is not complete. I already read about work in this area that was done and is planned to be done (frame packing/special resolution/...). Therefore I think there wont be any universal solution for this soon (ever?). Until that maybe another approach can take place:

Many devices supports another way to switch 3D mode on and off (over remote control/web interface/upnp/etc...), so "simple" service addon can handle it. (one addon for one type of display device)

But there is main requirement missing in add-on (python) API: get_actual_stereoscopic_mode_of_gui()

My idea is:
1a) service addon polls for actual stereoscopic mode of gui (for example: xbmcgui.getSterescopicMode())
or
1b) service addon is listening for stereoscopic mode on-change event (something like xbmc.Player.onPlayBackStarted(), for example xbmc.Monitor.onSterescopicModeChange())
2) when gui enters stereoscopic mode, addon will switch display device into appropriate 3D mode.
3) when gui returns to basic 2D mode, addon will turn of 3D mode in display device.

Is it possible to provide (at least) one of 1a) or 1b) methods? Or is there any other way already existing?

Thank you for any suggestions!
