3D button not available - Dudeman - 2014-05-04
When I play a 3D movie, I get the pop-up window asking how (what mode) I want to play the movie, since I set it up to ask everytime, however, duirng playback, in the OSD, there is no 3D button available. The button is there when using Confluence, but not with Neon.
This also creates a problem if you set up XBMC to NOT exit 3D mode after playback; there's no way to return to 2D mode, since there's no 3D button. I have to exit XBMC to get back to 2D mode.
So, is this a bug in my installation, or does the 3D button need to be added to Neon? FWIW, My Gotham installation is completely from scratch: Gotham Beta 3, + Neon 3.0.0, I then upgraded Neon to 3.0.2, but no fix.
BTW, is there a way to set up a hot key on the keymap to toggle the 3D modes?

Thanks for the heads up. We are still in staging and these are exactly the things we would like to hear.

BTW, I haven't yet said this, but I think Neon is probably the most elegant and well thought out skin available. Thanks for the great work.

I believe I've got it sorted (grabbed a sample 3d file to test with). Pull request submitted: https://github.com/kibje/skin.neon/pull/55
RE: 3D button not available - Kib - 2014-05-05
The code looked good to me and I pulled it based on that fact.
I haven't been able to test it myself yet.
Next push to the staging repo will be done in a few days. I am trying to keep a few days in between pushes as officially there is a 1/week guideline
I am also starting to look at the real repo, will submit a check request today.

I'll be more than glad to test it for you...
RE: 3D button not available - Kib - 2014-05-07
The response on the check request came back with some changes we needed to make.
Bumpaneer made them and submitted them so fast I saw his change request before I had read the mail.

Hey guys,
Thanks for the fast update. I updated my Neon installation to v. 3.0.4 and the 3D button is there. However, there is not text in the "Stereoscopic Mode" pop-up box.
There should be 3 options: Enabled, Change Mode and watch as 2D. I can see a blue dot but no text at all. All the way on the left, where the description pops up, I get a [*] which I assume means enabled.
If I go in there blind and make the selection, it does what it's supposed to anabled or disable 3D or 2D mode, or bring up the mode menu. But the box itself has no text

Whoops, good catch. I forgot to include the strings with the 3d git push. You can find the necessary changes here: https://github.com/kibje/skin.neon/pull/60/files , or just wait for the next refresh cycle.
RE: 3D button not available - Dudeman - 2014-05-15
Thanks. I'll let you know how if anything else comes out.
On a side note, can a hot key be implemented that can toggle between the modes?
RE: 3D button not available - Bumpaneer - 2014-05-15
You should be able to do something in the keymap. http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title=Keymap
They list a couple of stereoscopic controls there. There are some more listed in the built-in functions section: http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title=List_of_built-in_functions , not sure if they work in the keymap or not.
RE: 3D button not available - Dudeman - 2014-05-17
Another thing I noticed when comparing to confluence. When browsing the library in Confluence, if a movie is detected as 3D, there's a 3D icon right next to the other info icons (h.264, DTS, 5.1, etc). That icon is also there when browsing the files (non-library). This icon is not present in Neon.
I use a playlist to separate my 3D movies from the regular ones, so it's not a big, thing for me, but in the spirit of getting all the features in sync with Confluent, you might want to look into that as well.
Thanks.
