What's wrong with
1. Play the movie
2. From the XBMC dialog that pops up choose the 3d option you want (TAB or SBS or whatever)
3. (If the TV does not switch to 3D mode) Press the 3d button on the TV remote.

Why even have the dialog? Let XBMC auto detect the 3D mode.

I guess because it allows for situations where your TV is not even 3d capable, like playing with anaglyph coloring.

Does anyone here has a laptop with a 3D screen?
I have my VAIO VPCF215FD it works with nvidia 3D vision and it is glass active, I am trying to use XBMC to watch movies in stereo but no success so far, it does turn the 3D function when I enter in XBMC but not when it is playing movies it seems that just the screen controls are in 3D and the whatever is playing keeps showing the both sides on screen.
Any tips?
Thanks!

Yes, you have to disable nVidia 3d vision in order for 3d to work properly in XBMC.

Have you switched your TV to 3D mode?

Yes, actually it is a 3D laptop like I said before and yes the 3D stereo is working but only for the UI the movie is playing in the background in 2D it´s like you are looking a movie through a tunnel, I hope it makes sense.
Any tips?
