May be a minor thing: I have lots of full side-by-side files with names like 'Movie.Year.3D.FSBS.mkv', but Kodi doesn't recognise them as 3D movies. I would have to rename them like 'Movie.Year.3D.SBS.mkv' – it seems that the letter 'F' is preventing the 3D recognition.

That one can be fixed without renaming. Kodi detects 3D from the file name with three patterns, and the side-by-side pattern only accepts "sbs" with an optional "h" in front, so "SBS" and "HSBS" match but "FSBS" does not (the same goes for "FTAB"). The patterns can be overridden in /storage/.kodi/userdata/advancedsettings.xml:
Code<advancedsettings> <video> <stereoscopicregexsbs>[-. _][fh]?sbs[-. _]</stereoscopicregexsbs> <stereoscopicregextab>[-. _][fh]?tab[-. _]</stereoscopicregextab> </video> </advancedsettings>If the file already exists, put the two lines inside its existing <video> section instead. Restart Kodi afterwards. The name still needs the "3D" part as well, which yours have.

Talking about RPi4 overclocking, worth doing w/RPi5?
That's up to you. I think a pi5 is fast enough that it's not critical to overclock.
But you may find you can get up to 25% extra performance for free, so if you are willing to do some experimentation it may be worth it for you.
I'd say overclocking to 2800MHz is likely to work, 3000MHz needs a bit of luck with the silicon lottery.
If arm_freq=<N> is not reliable adding over_voltage_delta=<M> may help. M is in microvolts.
Try 25000, but you can go higher.
Note: if you push too far, then random crashes are quite likely (although it shouldn't be possible to permanently damage a board).

I'd have assumed FP (so over/under) would be the preference if supported by display and not disabled in advancedsettings. If not FP, then it should use your preference from settings. A log file would be useful.
So, captured a video showing 3D MVC playing in SBS mode w/20260909195900-6f94f34, then downgraded to 20260904144932-66d24f6, and playback was expected over/under. Updated back to 20260909195900-6f94f34, and enabled debug logging to share, but now playback is also over/under. So, I guess no problem to report :).

The graphical issues with for example Cars is still present on both RPi4 and RPi5 versions.
Can you test one of these builds for a potential fix for garbled right eye on Cars: Pi5 Pi4
edit: updated links - attempted to clear menu when playing a second disc without stopping first.
Also enabled more BluRay logging. Can you enable logging and Blu-ray specific logging, and reproduce the issue where the 3D menu said you needed a 3d TV.
