Maybe Full 3D support for XBMC is not an option right now due to its complexity and limited number of final users.
But now that 3D TVs are getting wider acceptation and that it is common to find 3d mkv files (side by side image) that can be easily interpreted by all 3D TVs (all of them have some sort of manual activation that allows 3D configuration) it will be nice to have some limited support.
I (like I assume many others) am using XBMC to reproduce 3D movies. I just reproduce a side by side (or up/down) file and then activate manually the 3D option of my TV. The thing works fine.
The only catch is that when ever I activate the menu I get it spread across both eyes so I have to blink to be able to move around.
The other thing is that I can't activate subtitles since they split across both images and the TV can't process them fine.
It will be nice to have some kind of 3Dplayer mode option that will make XBMC to pint the menu twice to allow proper handling in 3D mode.
For subtitles I know that it depends on the player but it will be also nice to be able to print the subs in split mode so the TV can understand...
Just for the wish list...
