I synced again and there was some marginal and improved changes in the code. Now it works much better. One think I noticed is that the gui is not changing automatically when we use the video settings osd to tell what type of 3d movie is being played. This feature is useful if the movie has no 3d detection tags, but I feel the setting is hidden too deep in the video settings. My suggestion is that the 3D OSD icon should be visible always and it should have options to select the 3d type of the movie and to invert the frames rather than going into the video settings osd.

baijuxaviour - in case you're watching a video without proper MKV tag nor flag in file name you can still set the stereo mode of the playing video in the video settings of the VideoOSD (where you also can adjust video brightness, etc). You can also flip eyes there. I'll add a cAction for flipping eyes and probably also the stereomode setting of the video itself (or maybe only a builtin + JSONrpc)

I found that setting. What I am trying to say is, we are starting a 3d movie with no detection tags and the gui is currently in stereo mode off. When I select the 3d type from the videosettings osd, it should automatically switch to the selected stereo mode.
Another thing - when I try to invert the frames, the video stalls. If I stop and play again, the screen goes blank and there is no audio.

inverting is working fine for me on windows, any more details on your setup and test video?
And personally I don't think that we should turn on stereo mode if one is changing that setting, could also be by accident and then he's "trapped" in stereoscopic mode. As this setting is persisted, it's only a one-time thing for each movie anyways and should also only be necessary on rare occasions, and in those it's really not that complicated to jump to the 3D button in VideoOSD and toggle stereo mode manually.

giaur: the point is that the video may be in a mode your display hardware can't support. So we can't switch automatically. We could i suppose trigger the same logic as on playback start when you go from none to some mode.

Just wanted to report back in, got it compiled and installed. Slicker than snot on a doorknob! Loving the 3d subs. None of my videos are autodetecting, but I know I saw a post a while back showing how to edit the mkv header, so I'll check that out and report back.
Thanks for this, really makes a big difference.
