Auto3D plugin for MediaPortal 1.2 - 1.12 (GUI & TV/Beamer) (3 Viewers)

I will check that in the coming days...

Thanks Marcus.
I think it's fair to assume the GitHub code is outdated since the last commit is from January.
Have you decided not to publish the source code anymore or you just forgot to push?

@Developers is it possible for a plugin to add a new entry to the video menu that leads to the 3D menu?
Thus it would be possible to access that 3D menu without having to use a dedicated remote key or shortcut.
@Marcus Venturi Do you like the idea?
@yartat Mentioned that pull request which might be related.

@Marcus Venturi Did you ever look into using libcec to switch the TV to the proper 3D mode?
I'm not even sure that's doable so I am now asking the Pluse-Height guys about that.
Surely it must be supported by CEC since 3D Blu-ray player can do that right?

Hi, the code is outdated. I had too much other stuff the last weeks, but I will post the updated code as soon as possible.

yes, look trailers plugin, it detect if "trailers" is enabled with skin condition. and if yes, the menu is displayed.

Any links to the relevant code?

I suppose these menus are not shown when player plays the clip or movie.

IMHO some of the functionalities offered by that plug-in should be part of MP core. It's 2016, a media center ought to support 3D out of the box. We should consider distributing that plug-in with MP and/or integrating some of its features.

According to the Pulse-Height guys (and they know their stuff) you can't do 3D/2D switch over CEC.
This is done using HDMI infoframes. Though I'm not sure how and if we can manipulate those. More research required.

Apparently you can manipulate info frame using that NVidia GameWorks SDK:

It's obviously vendor specific though.

How about 1.13?

Didn't have time yet, because I have set up MediaPortal with multi seat, which took (far) more time that I thought. But since yesterday it's working.
I will start right now to fix the bugs...
