[PROBLEM] 3D not working for all files

I thought this was a problem with XBMC but I've narrowed it down to only appearing to be an issue running within XBian

Any content I have that is 3D I add the 3DSBS string to the filename to automatically switch my TV to 3D mode. Running on Xbian, some content works, some doesnt. All the correct files are registered as 3dSBS but the resolution switching doesn't take place for some files.

I had originally posted this to the XBMC forum and had some guidance but no resolution so I thought I would try one of the other Pi XBMCs (openelec in this case) and lo and behold it switched every 3D file correctly and played them.

I haven't tried the other XBMC distro as it hasn't worked well in the past for me and I've loved usign Xbian so i'd prefer to stick with this but I'm wondering what needs to happen to provide the correct information for analysis.

Here's the link to the XBMC.org forum post - there are pastebin's and a sample file links within that thread.

Let me know if I need to register this on the github or if anyone can reproduce the problem.

Thanks

I'm having exactly the same issue, though I only noticed this after upgrading to XBMC 12.2, before that my files played ok (though I have to manually switch the TV to 3d mode). If the file name has 3DSBS or HSBS then xbian only plays the left hand side of the video now. I've had to remove the tags 3dsbs and hsbs from my files for now. Would be interested in knowing what the resolution for this is.
