After once again trying to make it work i finally found out why this is happening (i kind of knew *what* was happening, but not why).
Turns out, Kodi does indeed have separate stereoscopic modes - input mode (i.e. what kind of content the file has) and output mode (i.e. how Kodi UI, and subtitles, should be rendered). One is changed in the 3d-glass-options-button, and its default value can be changed in Player/Videos section of Kodi global settings. The other is changed separately in video settings when playing a file, and it is absent from global settings. Instead, current file settings can be saved as defaults for all media. What happened to me was that, apparently, i've switched media file settings from Auto to Side-by-Side at some point, and saved it as default for all further files, without understanding what i was doing. This might have been necessary due to Kodi misdetecting media stereoscopic layout, i don't know. Anyway, this bug can be either closed as not-a-bug, or fixed with some kind of doc-fix. One could argue that it's not good to be able to have mismatching input/output stereoscopic settings, as this can easily degrade the picture quality, but this feature does have legitimate uses (quality degradation notwithstanding), and it's not up to Debian package maintainers to change that anyway. -- O< ascii ribbon - stop html email! - www.asciiribbon.org
