If you can point me to a libav based external player, please do!

Quote:moved "monoscopic" from "preferred stereomode" to "preferred playback mode" (please check what happens if you had "2D" as preferred stereomode earlier after this change - so don't adjust the setting yet to a real preferred stereomode)My default was 2D. After the update the Preferred Mode was just empty, There was no crash or error message. I was was able to set a new mode without problems. The new setting was saved as expected.
Quote:"ask" dialog will show the label "same as movie" instead of the movies real mode (in case "auto detect" is preferred stereomode)I think the new behaviour is better than the old one. I find it more clear (1 option less)
Quote:"to mono/2D" toggle should now always work as expected, because we will always have a correct setting for "preferred stereomode" (can't be 2D nor none anymore)This was working as expected. I was able to activate / deactivate 2D without any issues, the correct 3D was selected.
Quote:added support for playlists with mixed movies. This has two modes:I also do not use playlist but is tested as much as possible.
a) go in and out of 3D mode for each movie (in case the setting "exit stereoscopic mode if playback ended" is enabled)
b) stay in 3D mode even if following up movie is not stereoscopic (in case above setting is not enabled)
This needs heavy testing, because I'm not sure if this will meet everybodies expectations (personally I don't use movie playlist and always like to back out of 3D)

Quote:experimental: don't override user selected mode while in playlistsI had the following result: After changing the setting it remains active till the 3D mode changes
This also needs to be tested along with the playlist behaviour. What this does is the following:
- start a playlist and always let Kodi apply your preferences, nothing changes and 3D modes will adjust for each movie depending on your settings as written above
- start a playlist and manually change the 3D mode (either via the ask dialog in the beginning or during playback), Kodi will/should remember this decision and will no longer attempt to apply your default preferences when next movie starts. So if you start playback in mono and switch to 3D, it will always stay in this mode and not switch back to 2D for the next movie. Once playback is stopped, user mode is cleared and defaults kick in again.
