Well get yourself a debug log of each situation and look for the differences.

One more related question - I will now go ahead renaming my movie files as I really love how openelec can even further automize this. I still need to somehow fit with the MBS naming convention as I am using MBS when away from home. Their naming convention is to add [HSBS] or [HTAB] to the movie file. Am I right the the two naming conventions are pretty much incompatible as XBMC requires a .-_( before the word SBS, while MBS requires a [.
So, I would need to do the following to comply? moviename [ 3D HSBS ] [HSBS].mkv?

sort of. We could probably add the [] characters to the whitespace list of the regular expression though. Or you use MBS naming convention and only fix the MKV headers using the header editor of MKVtoolnix. That way the XBMC will also know what's going on and you don't have to rebuild your library as names don't change.

I am still somewhat struggling to get this 100% working. A few issues:
1) I have updated to the Helix (using milhouse image) and it no longer works as before. Openelec no longer sends the "trigger" to my television upon (second) play. So, what used to work with the movies before, now no longer works. I can still manually send the "trigger" using the "3d button". Actually, I see that that the mode is already pre-selected, but it takes me to press the button again in the 3d-menu to trigger the "switch". And upon next play, I need to do the manual switch again.
2) The 3D-button you mentioned above does not exist in Amber skin, but only in Confluence. I assume this is a skin issue and I need to address it with the Amber developer?
Thanks for your help!

I picked the #0816 built. How can I switch to a newclock3 one. Just usual simple update process or some more complicated downgrading required?

Thanks, in this case, there may be a different issue. The 3D "trigger" does not work in built #0816 as described above. Only possible to trigger per 3D button, but not by file name or "second play" after changing. This used to work well on the latest Gotham built and I have not changed anything else.
