I have started watching 3D side-by-side videos in SMPlayer which uses the MPV engine.  The videos need to be "half SBS" in order to work.  If I have SVP enabled it seems to be able to detect that it is an SBS video because next to the video profile it adds a " + 3D SBS."  So that's nice and the aspect ratio lines up nicely to blend the images.  The problem is that for some reason it automatically adds an "outer lighting" effect to the video present in the outer black bar regions which I do not want.  I can't figure out how to get rid of it without messing up the aligment of the images which ruin the stereoscopic 3D effect.

For example, the only thing that works is to have the "fill black bars" box checked when I go into "outer lighting-light patterns-manage patterns" window.  If this box is checked, though, you have to deal with the "outer light" patterns.  I've adjusted the dials to get the smallest effect possible, but there is still a "rim" of light at the edge of the scene that is distracting.  I just want it gone altogether.

If I check the option I really want, "no outer lighting," it completely changes the aspect ratio and the steroscopic images no longer line up properly.

Is there a fix for this?

I just downloaded SVP on a new laptop I bought and there are several issues I can't seem to fix. 

(1) I can get the RIFE engine to work with MPV if I open a video WITHIN the SVP control panel.  However, if I open a video from within MPV itself, it doesn't work.

(2) My go-to media player is SMplayer which uses the MPV "engine" to play videos.  Again, opening a video within SM player doesn't work.

Mind you, I have two other laptops with SVP installed and everything in (1) and (2) above works on those two laptops, so I'm perplexed.

Also, (3) Only the Automatic (60 fps) profile works on MPC-HC, there's a message that comes up that says if you want to run RIFE you need to install Vapoursynth.  Is that what my problem is here for all of these issues.  I'm hesitant to install vaporsynth because it blocked my usage of some Python related apps, such as Jupyter notebooks, etc., on my other two laptops in the past.

That said, I'm really confused as to why this is a problem on my new laptop and not on the other two..

Works with Vulkan but when I put on TensorRT a command window pops up and freezes the video.  Any suggestions?  If not, where can I find a previous version to download?

Whenever SVP is activated the renders active in my Ksampler simply HALT..  It doesn't crash, it just halts.  If I click on the "temporarily disable SVP" option, the render continues.  Curious.  I'm guessing it's a Python thing or Python Path thing because I had a similar problem years back with SVP preventing the booting up of Jupyter Notebooks.

In any case, it primarily may be related to a new RIFE VFI customary node I recently added to a Stable Video Diffusion workflow in I'm using (comfyUI).  I think the problem started just after that, but I'm not sure, could have been there all along.  In any case, this isn't a trivial issue because I like to watch videos using SVP while I'm waiting for Stable Diffusion to do its thing.  If the developers could look into this and offer a fix, it would be appreciated. 

Also, I'm not hugely computer literate so to say "the problem is with this or that "Path" won't help me.  It didn't help me with the Jupyter notebook thing and I had to continually install and unistall SVP in order to use it because of the interference.  So please give me a step-by-step solution as if you're talking to a 5 year old

Lastly, the problem occurs whether I'm running a RIFE video profile or a non-RIFE video profile.  I have totally disable SVP in general in order for Stable Diffusion to work.

I have made several video profiles, four most recently for the new RIFE filter.  One is at the regular or default setting, which I think is the frame rate x 2.  I created three others, named "RIFE x 3", "RIFE x 4", and "RIFE x 6" which, as you may have guessed, use the SVP stock frame rate x 3, 4 and 6 settings. 

My problem is that the video profile keeps resetting to the standard x 2 mode often when I'm running a playlist.  I use x 4 most often and I keep having to switch back.  This happens both on MPV player and MPC.  It doesn't happen every time and it never used to happen before the RIFE filter, so I'm thinking that SVP doesn't always revert to a default sertting between videos.  How to I fix this?

Hello, a year or two ago I posted a thread here discussing how I could not run SVP and Jupyter Notebook, or any Anaconda app, at the same time.  If SVP was installed, I could not open Jupyter Notebook.  That simple.  Quitting or disabling SVP did not work either.  I had to physically uninstall the SVP app in order to get Jupyter Notebook running.  From what I remember, the response I got was basically that I was a moron because "All I had to do" was change the "Path" of this to that or whatever.  Well, that didn't help despite repeated protestations so I just gave up and haven't used SVP since.

Now, however, I'm working on a project where I think SVP could be helpful but, of course, I'm having the same problem again.  I'm sure I can't be the only one that has this problem as I don't have conficts with any other two applications like I have with this one.

Could someone please explain to me a step by step solution to this problem and assume that I know nothing of these "paths" that I'm supposed to be an expert in?  I'm just trying to use the app as a layperson/enduser, not as a developer.  Thanks.
