So where is the stereo setting stored once found or toggled? couldn't it be stored in Videodb along with the other infos?
Sorry for my lack of knowledge of the XBMC core.

Well, it's stored in db, but in different places. Ideally it should be in stream details only just like any other video info (codec, size, ...) but unfortunately I can't update this info at a later point after initial creation by dvdplayer + it will be overridden again on each playback of the video. Then we have the manually defined stereoscopic mode stored in the videosettings table (where subtitle offsets etc are store per video). And lastly the fielname parser which is not stored in DB. So this stuff is already cluttered enough and adding yet another flag to the DB that combines all the different checks and also needs to be updated everytime any other thing changes is IMO a no go. Ideally we should be able to rely on the stream info and use this flag, but it's just not working like this yet. Need to talk to others on how to improve that. Suggestions welcome ofc
