Bug#845450: kodi-bin: kodi is stuck in left_right stereoscopic mode

[LRN]

Package: kodi-bin
Version: 2:17.0~beta5+dfsg1-4
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

When playing stereoscopic over/under (top-bottom) videos in Kodi i've noticed
that for the last few months Kodi does not display the video contents correctly
when instructed to switch to over/under stereoscopic mode. The UI changes
correctly, the video contents does not.

How to reproduce:
* Open any video file (does not need to have stereoscopic contents) in Kodi
* Ensure that stereoscopic mode is not enabled
* Verify that UI and video look fine
* Enable Side-By-Side (left_right) stereoscopic (3D) mode
* Verify that UI is mirrored horizontally, and the video is unchanged
* Verify that stereoscopic mode menu item (a-pair-of-glasses icon->Change Mode;
available in Kodi v17.x) says "left_right"
* Enable Over/Under (top_bottom) stereoscopic (3D) mode

Actual result:
* UI is mirrored vertically, and the video is distorted (video is split
horizontally, as if in left_right mode, then both halves are positioned as
needed by top_bottom mode)
* The stereoscopic mode menu item says "left_right"

Expected result:
* UI is mirrored vertically, and the video is unchanged
* The stereoscopic mode menu item says "top_bottom"

This affects Kodi v16.x from sid and Kodi v17.x from experimental.
I've tried upstream Windows version of Kodi, it does not seem to be affected.
Can't test the upstream *nix version of Kodi, because it only comes in form of
Ubuntu packages.
