Hit the 3D button on the remote and select the option for split screen then put on the glasses.

You have to press and hold the 3D button.

I wish people that recommend software also warn when such software comes bundled with unwanted crap (as the posts on the linked sourcforge page indicates) !!

So it seems that the MediaInfo installer is purposefully "infected" with a features that also install other unwanted software... be warned...
It's possibly that this can be avoided by doing a custom install and unchecking any extras options but i haven't checked this myself...

Just a heads up Smile

Well as part of the install process, after you select the language, you must agree to the installer uploading data to the opencandy network to determine what other software can also be offered for installation... so i declined and cancelled the installation process Sad
Pity as the last time i downloaded a much older version of mediainfo, i don't remember having to agree to such stuff.

I think you're on the wrong thread.

My post was just a heads up that MediaInfo, which was recommended as a tool to help dbwe89 gather some data on the streams used by problem movies, may in fact cause him some other grief with unintended software making it's way onto his PC (if he's not careful during the install).

So i don't think i've posted to the wrong thread when i'm simply trying to help another posters on this very thread avoid potential issues. But free to ignore my post if you prefer.

Glad you are enjoying your LG smart TV with sideloaded XBMC Smile My TV is too old for such integrated abilities Sad

Hey total noob here. Just wondering how to load xbmc onto my sony google tv. I assume there is a wiki somewhere but don't have the wherewithal to find it. If some kind soul could help without yelling at me that would be much appreciated. Some yelling is fine too! Thanks in advance.

@ Morrissey-2 Sony never updated their GoogleTV products to Android 4.2, they still run on Android 3.0 so they cannot run XBMC.

Thanks star stream. I really appreciate the response. I don't suppose xbmc can be added to a DVD player? I have a networked 3d sony player (don't have model number). I don't want to buy another box but I guess I will if I need to.

No it cant. There are loads of devices that will run XBMC from a raspberry pi all the way up to an intel NUC
