Description

Previously, I was able to use SRT subtitles in 3D by passing --video-stereo-mode=sbs2l.

Now this option no longer works and the suggested alternative, --vf=stereo3d, merges 2 halves into one image instead of fixing subtitle display

Research direction

Start by reproducing the issue with SRT subtitles, --video-stereo-mode=sbs2l, and the suggested --vf=stereo3d alternative in mpv. Trace the handling of both options and subtitle rendering; done means 3D subtitles display correctly without the two halves being merged into one image.
