File Name Pattern for 3D Videos

Need help? Start with User FAQ & Troubleshooting. This setting lives under Settings → Format.


Stream to 3D uses file name pattern matching to distinguish 2D from 3D videos for playback, streaming and video conversion. By default, it will bypass the 2D to 3D conversion function for files that have “3D” in their names or contain “.SBS.”, “.TB.”, “.HSBS.”, “.HTB.” or “.3DA.” (these are 3D output formats that Stream to 3D can generate).

You can modify this pattern match in the “Settings/Format” menu by editing the “3D File Name Pattern” item. The default regex pattern is:

(?i).*((3D)|(\\.SBS\\.)|(\\.TB\\.)|(\\.HSBS\\.)|(\\.HTB\\.)|(\\.3DA\\.)).*

You can test any changes with an online regex testing site before applying them.
