So simply turn on that movie and it would show lines and 3d images and give suggestions on what needs changing. I noticed that out of the box xbmc usually is close to 3d, but when you change the screen and start stretching/changing/shrinking it really can screw up your 3d image.

I have a 21:9 tv and this does not allow me to just "easilly" change everything it seems.

That would actually be a gret tool.
An AVS calibrations disc SBS version... I'd buy that Nod

I'm having trouble with top and bottom videos lately, they seem to run a bit jerky while sbs are fine? Weird, but as I only have trailers in top and bottom it's not big deal... Anyone else having trouble with top and bottom?

Hi,
I've a LG passive 3D TV and would like to play nativly 3D movies (SideBySide an OverUnder) in XBMC, ie without have to change my TV settings.
The way to do this is to play the movie directly in interlaced mode (not SbS or OU), and so there is no problem with subtitles.

To do that, I've applied video filters to mplayer as external player editing .xbmc/UserData/playercorefactory.xml
Code:
<playercorefactory>
<players>
   <player name="SideBySide" type="ExternalPlayer" audio="false" video="true">
     <filename>/usr/bin/mplayer</filename>
     <args>"{1}" -fs -vf ilpack,fil=i,dsize=1920:1080,scale=1920:1080:1 -vo vdpau −vc ffmpeg12vdpau,ffwmv3vdpau,ffvc1vdpau,ffh264vdpau,</args>
     <hidexbmc>false</hidexbmc>
     <hideconsole>false</hideconsole>
     <warpcursor>none</warpcursor>
   </player>
   <player name="OverUnder" type="ExternalPlayer" audio="false" video="true">
     <filename>/usr/bin/mplayer</filename>
     <args>"{1}" -fs -vf ilpack,il=i,dsize=1920:1080,scale=1920:1080:1 -vo vdpau −vc ffmpeg12vdpau,ffwmv3vdpau,ffvc1vdpau,ffh264vdpau,</args>
     <hidexbmc>false</hidexbmc>
     <hideconsole>false</hideconsole>
     <warpcursor>none</warpcursor>
   </player>
</players>
<rules action="prepend">
   <rule filetypes="mkv" filename=".*SBS.*" player="SideBySide"/>
   <rule filetypes="mkv" filename=".*halfOU.*" player="OverUnder"/>
</rules>
</playercorefactory>

It works as it should, but the problem is that I loose XBMC OSD which is fine (and my family begin to be used to it...) and more important I loose the use of my TV remote controling XBMC via libcec.

Does anyone know if there is a way to implement this function to native XBMC DVDPlayer ?

Thanks
Davy

I have here also a Prodigy player, it is not perfect but can easily play 3D and also the subtitles.
If I could code it myself I would make it but if only the subtitle could be fixed iám happy.
When the TV is jumping to 3D is nice to have but not needed right now.

Saw that there was a fix fore version 10, if for 11 plugin could be created we are all happy here 

You can try Bino3D xbmc plugin: http://bino3d.org/download.html - I'm going to test this in near future

Hi!

I have used this 3D patch in XBMC 10.1 Dharma to get subtitles show corretcly in 3D -> https://gist.github.com/244af9c006c12e0a8664.

I just got this patch to work with XBMC 11.0 Eden. I also added 3D parallax adjustment for subtitles. The new patch can be downloaded from here.

Any chance to add font scale support?

Subtitles are displayed as 50% stretched in 3d mode. They need to be squeezed by xbmc (best solution) or squeezed font sholud be used - I'm still looking for such squeezed font but without any success.

Can someone please explain, how to apply this patch on a Mac? Thanks!

I suspect you use binary packages for Mac, so you are unable to apply this patch. You need to compile xbmc from source.

I just added some kind subtitle scaling support in 3d mode. Now subtitles are displayed 1.5 x times smaller in 3D. The patch link: 3D SUBTITLE PATCH. The patch is released ‘as is’ without warranty or guarantee of any kind.

But what dimension is 1.5 x times smaller? It should be half x dimension and untouched y dimension in case side by side 3d mode, or untouched x dimension and half y dimension in case top-bottom 3d mode. Proportional scalling does not have much sense.
